I'm done with the two party system.I joined the Tea Party tonight. American NEEDS a third party in Washington to stop the madness of our representatives not co-operating with each other and fighting for themselves and not for America.
How would Americans feel if they knew the Obama administration just agreed to hand people affiliated with a designated terrorist group a $30 billion dollar check and recognize them as the legitimate rulers of Libya? Things weren’t looking so good for the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group back in 2004when they were designated a foreign terrorist group by the State Department. In chilling testimony, then-CIA Director George Tenet warned the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2004 that even if Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda was completely destroyed, “a global network of Islamic extremists bent on killing Americans had emerged.” Tenet listed the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) as one of those groups.
In 2007, the LIFG formally joined al-Qaeda, an event so well documented that evenReuters covered it. Its goals, which it is now close to achieving thanks to airpower help from President Obama and NATO, include killing Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, setting up an Islamic caliphate in Libya and waging international jihad. The known leaders of the Libyan rebel forces on the ground are all former LIFG fighters, some with documented personal connections to al-Qaeda. The Transitional National Council, which the Obama administration recognized last week as the official government of Libya, is packed with pro-LIFG activists, lawyers who have advocated for imprisoned LIFG fighters, and Islamic scholars from LIFG strongholds.Something smells strongly of jihad here.
What Americans have been told about Libya is that there were some protests, some people rebelled, and Gaddafi started killing them, so we had to intervene. The media never got around to explaining that the people behind the “Day of Rage” protests in Libya that kicked off the civil war were supporters of the more than 1,000 LIFG fighters who were killed in a prison massacre in 1995 by Gaddafi after they attempted an uprising. Gaddafi had jailed them to halt their jihadist takeover of the country and save his own skin.
The LIFG has waged jihad against American forces before. Documents captured by allied forces in 2007 show LIFG fighters made up the second-largest cohort of jihadists battling in Iraq, after Saudi Arabia. After that, it appears that many of their military leaders transferred their expertise to Libya. Gaddafi is a brutal dictator with a long history of support for terror, but his ruthless zeal for taking out the LIFG and their fellow jihadists in the post-9/11 era was one of the reasons he was able to forge a relationship with the U.S. during the Bush administration.
But that was then. In a bizarre twist that defies explanation, under Obama, Gaddafi’s repression of LIFG sympathizers and allied jihadist rebel groups—the very people Tenet once warned us about—is now being used by NATO and the Obama administration to justify taking Gaddafi out and turning over the country’s wealth to the LIFG-connected leadership. Over the past few years, Gaddafi made a series of fatal errors. As part of a goodwill gesture aimed at quieting civil unrest in the deeply Islamic eastern part of the country, the Gaddafi family released hundreds of imprisoned LIFG fighters. They immediately took up arms against his regime, declaring the eastern part of the county an Islamic caliphate. Gaddafi had largely beaten the rebels and their sympathizers into submission when the unthinkable happened and the U.S. and NATO decided to intervene on their behalf, not his. Allegedly, this was to save some civilians or something.
Oddly though, one of the first things the U.S.-led coalition did when it invaded Libya in March was to help the rebels capture the oil fields. If Libya’s radical Islamists can get their hands on that oil revenue, they will control oil fields capable of generating $34 billion worth of black gold a year. You can sure fund a lot of jihad with that. Earlier this year, a debate broke out over whether there were al-Qaeda fighters in the rebel ranks. The answer the Washington establishment settled on was that there were “flickers” here and there. But everyone was asking the wrong question. A better question would have been about the extent to which LIFG fighters were leading the ground battle.
It is well-documented that a handful of former Gaddafi military leaders oversaw the rebellion in Libya. But the actual training of troops and fighting on the ground was largely led by LIFG veteran fighters fresh from battling U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Among them were LIFG veteran fighters such as Abdul-Hakim al-Hasadi, who has admitted to fighting allied forces in Afghanistan and was turned over to Libya by the U.S. after his capture in 2002. His field commander on the front lines, Salah al-Barrani, is also a well-known LIFG fighter. Before serving as a Libyan rebel commander, former Guantanamo inmate Sufyan Ben Qumu, who was transferred to Libya in 2007, was named to the military committee of the LIFG in between stints training with al-Qaeda and fighting alongside the Taliban.
Fewer than half of the 33 members of the Transitional National Council (TNC), which the LIFG-led rebels now say they answer to, are even publicly known. The rest have gone unnamed, supposedly to protect their families. Several of those who are known have ties to or were supporters of the LIFG, did legal work for LFG fighters or advocated on their behalf when they were repressed by Gaddafi. A graduate student at the Monterey Institute of International Studies who did an extensive technical analysis of the new Libyan leadership warned that the radical Islamists are now one of three groups vying for power among the Obama-recognized Libyan leadership, and that TNC members already sympathetic to them might ally themselves with the radical jihadists to grow their power.
At stake? Again, $30 billion in Gaddafi-frozen assets that the U.S. promised to turn over to the TNC, and Libya’s oil. Senior militants in online chat rooms monitored by the West seem to know the score, and are urging a patient, long-term approach rather than a quick revolution, The Australianreports: “One forum leader warns that declaring an Islamic emirate in Libya would prompt a Western invasion, and stresses instead that they should build up their military forces, ‘educate the people’ on the need for an Islamic state, ‘and then declare the emirate, with weapons, economy and a people ready to fight for Allah.’" That should be no problem with the billions provided by Obama and NATO to fund it all.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Jerome R. Corsi-On July 19, 2011:
“This is the third in a series of continuing articles aimed at exposing the “OBOTs” – radical supporters of Barack Obama dedicated to disrupting people who question Obama’s eligibility to be president.
The first article exposed former California lawyer William L. Bryan, aka “P.J. Foggy.” The second article exposed Foggy’s sidekick, Kurt Coleman, aka “Rikker.”
NEW YORK – A top Democrat, apparently operating with the full approval and cooperation of the president, has been directing a team of up to 100 who are paid to publish disinformation on a wide variety of websites to discredit “birthers,” according to anti-Obama researchers.
The radical supporters of the president, known as Obama robots, or “OBOTs” for short, have confirmed their White House-appointed ring leader is Democratic Party operative James A. Johnson, the former chairman of Fannie Mae.
Initially, the OBOTs attempted to mask their Internet identities by posting under usernames with avatars that suggest their personalities. But due largely to the efforts of anti-Obama researchers, including “birthers” vilified by the OBOTs, the true identities of key OBOT operatives have been revealed.
Remarkably, key OBOT operatives, including possibly Johnson himself, have tended over time to self-identify. Two OBOT usernames – “NeonZX” and “JimBot” – may have been usernames Johnson himself created to cover his tracks.
If “NeonZX” and “JimBot” are James A. Johnson, a link will have been established between the Obama White House at the topmost levels and a highly organized disinformation campaign, most likely financed by taxpayer funds. The campaign has been aimed at anyone who challenges Obama’s eligibility to be president under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
WND contacted Johnson’s office for comment, but Johnson did not reply.
James A. Johnson as 'JimBot'?
Ed Hale, the Texas-based creator of Plains Radio, has told WND that Johnson, posting on various OBOT websites under the username “JimBot,” managed for the White House some 100 paid operatives around the country. Their primary job was to attack, refute and publish disinformation on any prominent “birthers.”
In an Internet forum called “Voice of America Broadcasting Network,” Hale posted the following on July 17:
{…}
Johnson’s office at Perseus LLC is located near the White House, at 2099 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The White House switchboard told WND that until recently, it answered calls for Johnson but that the practice had been discontinued.
In an attempt to verify Johnson’s sway with Obama, Hale said he told Johnson to have the president call a Michigan lady on her 110th birthday. Indeed, Michigan resident Leola Washington received an acknowledgment card on her birthday from President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, as reported by KMOV-TV in St. Louis.
WND has found that Hale was incorrect in claiming the Maryland address listed in Hale’s post is Johnson’s address.
Did Johnson out himself on OBOT websites?
WND research indicates Johnson, posting under the username “NeonZX,” may, indeed, have confirmed that he is the hidden identity behind “JimBot.”
In several Internet postings, the person using “NeonZX” has stated that he is also the person using the username “JimBot.”
In a post on March 10, 2009, “NeonZX” identified himself as the “#1 Bot,” as seen in Exhibit 2:
{…}
“I’m the ‘#1 Obot,’” username “NeonZX” stated, claiming, “Most here know me or of me.”
Then in a chat room screen capture seen in Exhibit 3, “NeonZX” identified himself as “JimBot.”
{…}
The last and critical link was established by “NeonZX” in an Internet post Aug. 9, 2009, in which he identified “JimBot” as James A. Johnson, after Hale had made the same identification in a Plains Radio broadcast.
In the post, seen in Exhibit 4, “NeonZX” explains to a previous poster who noted that “JimBot” was James A. Johnson, “We learned Jimbot’s ‘true’ identity – he is rich and famous and has a grand home.”
{…}
If “NeonZX” is “JimBot” under a different username, the post amounts to a self-admission that “JimBot” is Johnson.
The article “NeonZX” referenced in his post linked back to a Minnesota Post article published on June 11, 2008,reporting that James A. Johnson, described as “a classic behind-the-scenes dealmaker in Washington, D.C., was no longer part of the three-person team involved in Obama’s vice presidential search effort, after the Wall Street Journal published embarrassing articles documenting VIP home loans Johnson had personally received from sub-prime lender Countrywide Financial while he headed Fannie Mae.
On Aug. 9, 2009, as seen in Exhibit 5, “NeonZX” posted a second time regarding Johnson, further confirming that “JimBot” worked for the White House, but not in the White House. The description that fits the location and nature of Johnson’s working relationship with the White House, dating back to the assistance he gave Obama in the 2008 vice presidential search process.
{…}
Who is James A. Johnson?
From 1991 to 1998 Johnson was chairman and CEO of the government-sponsored mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
WND reported that Johnson earned $21 million in his final year alone at Fannie Mae, despite irregularities cited by theOffice of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight as constituting accounting improprieties.
The current New York Times bestselling book by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner, entitled “Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon,” blames Johnson for engineering much of the sub-prime housing crisis that led to the financial meltdown in late 2008.
Johnson has contributed to Obama since 2004. In 2008, he was a bundler responsible for raising in excess of $200,000 for the Obama presidential campaign.
He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the American Friends of Bilderberg.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on The Patriot Update-By Ann-Marie Murrell-On July 25, 2011:
“The Federal Reserve has recently had a complete audit and according to Vermont Senator Bernie Sander’s website, one of the big surprises found was the fact that the “U.S. provided $16 trillion in secret loans to bail out American and foreign banks and businesses during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.”
Senator Sanders created an amendment to the Wall Street reform law a year ago which directed the
Government Accountability Office to conduct the audit.
“As a result of this audit, we now know that the Federal Reserve provided more than $16 trillion in total financial assistance to some of the largest financial institutions and corporations in the United States and throughout the world,” said Sanders. “This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else.”
Included in the audit findings, the Fed provided trillions of dollars in financial aid from South Korea to Scotland.
“No agency of the United States government should be allowed to bailout a foreign bank or corporation without the direct approval of Congress and the president,” Sanders said.
The audit also discovered that the Fed “lacks a comprehensive system to deal with conflicts of interest, despite the serious potential for abuse” and provides “conflict of interest waivers to employees and private contractors so they could keep investments in the same financial institutions and corporations that were given emergency loans.”
An example Senator Sanders gives is that the CEO of JP Morgan Chase served on the New York Fed’s board of directors “at the same time his bank received more than $390 billion in financial assistance from the Fed.” Also, JP Morgan Chase “served as one of the clearing banks for the Fed’s emergency lending programs.”
Another “surprise” discovered in the audit is that, according to the GAO report, on Sept. 19, 2008, William Dudley, president of the New York Fed, was given a waiver allowing him to keep his investments in AIG and General Electric “at the same time AIG and GE were given bailout funds”. According to the audit, one of the reasons Dudley didn’t have to sell his holdings is because it might have “created the appearance of a conflict of interest.”
“No one who works for a firm receiving direct financial assistance from the Fed should be allowed to sit on the Fed’s board of directors or be employed by the Fed,” Sanders said.
Other information revealed by the audit is that the Fed outsourced most of its emergency lending programs to private contractors, “many of which also were recipients of extremely low-interest and then-secret loans.”
“The Fed outsourced virtually all of the operations of their emergency lending programs to private contractors like JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo,” Senator Sanders posted on his writes. “The same firms also received trillions of dollars in Fed loans at near-zero interest rates. Altogether some two-thirds of the contracts that the Fed awarded to manage its emergency lending programs were no-bid contracts. Morgan Stanley was given the largest no-bid contract worth $108.4 million to help manage the Fed bailout of AIG.”
Another more detailed GAO investigation into potential conflicts of interest at the Fed is due on October 18.
As Sanders says, “The Federal Reserve must be reformed to serve the needs of working families, not just CEOs on Wall Street.”

Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offered one very good suggestion:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes", he told Becky Quick, "you just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election". I couldn't agree more. Simple to. Common sense..
Posted on NewsMax.com-By Ronald Kessler-On July 20, 2011:
“Delise Williams, the wife of Fox News contributor Juan Williams, tells Newsmax that “so-called liberals” at NPR treated her — a light-skinned African-American — as if she didn’t exist.
“The NPR people were hypocrites because they are supposed to be the liberals who are accepting of all kinds of people and inclusive, and they were the most exclusive group in my experience of going to events related to work that I have ever seen,” says Delise, a former social worker who is the daughter of a doctor.
Juan Williams’ book “Muzzled: The Assault on Honest Debate” hits bookstores next week. It reveals that for years before NPR fired him, NPR executives harassed him over what he did or did not say on the air.
NewsmaxTV interviewed Juan about the book, including how Fox News President Roger Ailes expanded Juan’s role at Fox and made sure he would not suffer a pay cut because NPR had fired him over what he had said on Fox.
In the meantime, Delise says that she and Juan were the only blacks at NPR parties, a point confirmed by Juan. In general, both say, African-Americans were found only in low-level jobs such as security guards.
Asked for comment, Anna Christopher, NPR’s director of media relations, said, “We aren’t sure which parties Juan and his wife are referring to, but all events we have sponsored in recent memory have included a mix of guests. Diversity of opinions, ideas, sources, voices, and staff is very important to NPR.”
A former Washington Post reporter, Juan is one of Washington’s most respected journalists. He and Delise are invited to top parties at the White House and elsewhere. But because she felt NPR personnel treated her like a second-class citizen, she says she stopped going to NPR social gatherings.
In contrast to NPR, “Even though politically I’m on the other side, the Fox people, included me much more in the interactions and in the gatherings, and I never felt like I was on the outside,” Delise says.
“The Fox gatherings are much diverse,” she says. “They have both African-American and whites. It’s great because when I sometimes go down to Fox and wait for Juan in the green room, they all speak to me as if they know me and are very friendly. I feel very comfortable there. With the NPR people, I did not feel comfortable.”
In fact, she says, “I would never drop into NPR, or if I was going over to meet Juan, I sat in the car and waited for him.”
Fox News has never told Juan what he could or could not say, she says. In contrast, NPR constantly criticized him when he expressed views that diverged from what they thought a black man should think, Delise says.
“My friends would often argue with me before this whole thing came up and say, ‘Oh, how could you watch Fox?’ and I would say, ‘No, you need to listen to the news and other shows, and you will see that it’s not biased,’” she says.
At Fox, “They encourage debate, and I’ve even gotten my friends to watch Fox,” Delise says. “It gives you information about what is happening in both political parties, information on both sides.”
“It’s as if at Fox they feel they certainly have their bias, but they believe so strongly in what they feel that they are open to having the other argument there because they believe their audience is intelligent enough to decide for themselves.”
In my Newsmax TV interview with Juan, he tells for the first time how he had to tell his wife that he had been fired for saying on Bill O’Reilly’s “The Factor” what most Americans, including many Muslims, feel: that when getting on an airplane and seeing passengers dressed in Muslim garb, he feels apprehension.
Juan went on to say on the Fox show that we must distinguish between moderate Muslims and Muslim terrorists and protect the rights of the vast majority of Muslims who are peace-loving.
NPR consists of “pseudo-liberals,” Delise says. “I think liberal means being tolerant. You may have a certain set of beliefs, but you do not reject someone who may have a different set of beliefs or who looks different.”
As noted in my story “The Juan Williams I Know,” Juan is a rarity these days — a fair-minded journalist whose views run the political gamut. Because he is an independent thinker, he is respected by both liberals and conservatives. His book includes blurbs from the likes of Karl Rove and Roger Ailes as well as from David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Obama.
At Juan’s book party given by Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Shannon Bream and others, Fox News contributors Charles Krauthammer, Stephen Hayes, and Baier all expressed their esteem for Juan despite their often differing views.
But NPR has said it won’t be inviting Williams to discuss his book on any of its shows.
“I guess I thought there was an opportunity for us to move past what happened and that they understood that some things had been done improperly to me and that there was no reason to fire me,” Juan tells me. “It was unjust, and their own investigation by their group of lawyers led to people leaving the organization. I thought this was an opportunity to have some healing, some reconciliation. But they are still suppressing the other side.”

I. Soros CAIR and the Firing of Juan Williams!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on Truth on Target-On October 21, 2011:
“At the behest of a group known as apologists for radical Islam and terrorists, the taxpayer-funded National Public Radio fired a well-respected NPR newsman and host over alleged derogatory comments he made regarding Muslims and terrorism on the Fox News Channel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T45_GIuENbM
NPR canned longtime “Talk of the Nation” host Juan Williams after the Council of Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained about remarks Williams made while appearing on The O’Reilly Factor Monday. Here’s how this writer’s friends and colleagues described the shocking story:
NPR has fired news analyst Juan Williams for comments he made on Fox News Channel earlier this week. Williams, who has been a Fox News contributor for 13 years, was on “The O’Reilly Factor” Monday night talking about the comments O’Reilly made last week on “The View” about Muslims and 9/11. On “The Factor”, Williams said, “[W]hen I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.”
According to a statement obtained by Accuracy in Media, NPR wrote: “Tonight we gave Juan Williams notice that we are terminating his contract as a Senior News Analyst for NPR News. Juan has been a valuable contributor to NPR and public radio for many years and we did not make this decision lightly or without regret. However, his remarks on The O’Reilly Factor this past Monday were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR.”
“We regret these circumstances and thank Juan Williams for his many years of service to NPR and public radio.”
“In other words NPR’s editorial standards require employees to be politically correct at all times and making any statement that might cast Muslims in a negative light is strictly taboo even if it may be true,” said Don Irvine of Accuracy in Media.
“NPR might have ignored Williams’ remarks except for the fact that CAIR, which spends its time looking for what it perceives as anti-Muslim bias, called on the network to address the situation. Their mission isn’t really to prevent anti-Muslim bias as much as it is to prevent anyone from offering an opinion of Muslims that is less than favorable, regardless of the truth,” said Irvine.
CAIR, America’s largest Islamic civil liberties group, has 32 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.
While CAIR continues to portray itself as a moderate organization, its history is filled with red flags that are ignored by the mainstream news media. According to a report from the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security:
“The Council on American-Islamic Relations and its employees have combined, conspired, and agreed with third parties, including, but not limited to, the Islamic Association for Palestine , the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, the Global Relief Foundation, and foreign nationals hostile to the interests of the United States, to provide material support to known terrorist organizations, to advance the Hamas agenda, and to propagate radical Islam.”
“The Council on American-Islamic Relations, and certain of its officers, directors, and employees, have acted in support of, and in furtherance of, this conspiracy,” said the Senate report.
Dr. Daniel Pipes, a foremost expert on radical Islam and terrorism cites several criminal cases involving CAIR officials:
A senior staff member, Randall Royer a/k/a “Ismail” Royer, pled guilty and was sentenced to twenty years in prison for participating in a network of militant jihadists centered in Northern Virginia. He admitted to aiding and abetting three persons who sought training in a terrorist camp in Pakistan for the purpose of waging jihad against American troops in Afghanistan. Royer’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.
Their Director of Public Affairs, Bassem Kafagi was arrested by the US due to his ties with a terror-financing front group. Khafagi pled guilty to charges of visa and bank fraud, and agreed to be deported to Egypt. Khafagi’s illegal actions occurred while he was employed by CAIR.
Ghassan Elashi, a founder of CAIR Texas chapter and founder of the Holy Land Foundation was arrested by the United States and charged with, making false statements on export declarations, dealing in the property of a designated terrorist organization, conspiracy and money laundering. Ghassan Elashi committed his crimes while working at CAIR, and was found guilty.
CAIR Board Member Imam Siraj Wahaj, an un-indicted co-conspirator in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, has called for replacing the American government with an Islamic caliphate, and warned that America will crumble unless it accepts Islam.
Whenever CAIR is accused of wrongdoing, their spokesmen are quick to tell Americans that its leadership have been guests at President Bush’s White House and that they are regularly consulted by US officials on matters involving homeland security.
This year, CAIR and other groups had called for an independent investigation of the shooting. On January 13, 2010, Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder to request that the civil rights division investigate both the shooting death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, a Detroit Muslim cleric, who was shot during an October 28, 2009, arrest by FBI agents in Dearborn, Michigan. and whether the FBI violated the Constitution by using informants in mosques.
House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Conyers (D-MI) announced the Justice Department review at a news conference in Detroit sponsored by CAIR’s Michigan chapter (CAIR-MI) and attended by a coalition of civil rights groups.
According to a Jim Kouri report for The Examiner, agents working on a counterterrorism task force in Detroit, Michigan reported that during a gun battle they shot and killed the Imam of a radical Islamic group. Agents say the gunfight began after Luqman Ameen Abdullah refused to surrender and face various criminal charges.
Abdullah is the spiritual leader of a group that is alleged to have engaged in violent activity over a period of many years, and known to be armed. According to the report obtained by the National Association of Chiefs of Police, the FBI was in the midst of arresting Abdullah and 10 of his followers on charges that included conspiracy to sell stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms.
According to a preliminary report obtained by NACOP, Abdullah was killed while exchanging gunfire with Federal Bureau of Investigation agents on Wednesday at a warehouse in Dearborn, a suburb of Detroit.”

Posted on Coach Is Right-By Kevin “Coach” Collins-On July 19, 2011:
“When Barack Hussein Obama suggested a suicidal return to pre- 1967 borders as the way to lasting peace for Israel the politically uninitiated assumed America’s Jews would turn on him and withdraw their support for his re-election. This silliness lasted for a few weeks until prominent elected Jewish Democrats visited Jewish old age homes and other meeting places to reassure them they had not really heard what they heard and saw.
Rahm Emanuel,one of Obama’s favorite “Jewish policemen”, was called in to do damage control and actually said, “That statement [Obama’s 1967 border remark] does not mean a return to 1967 borders.” The great Groucho Marx line, “Who are you going to believe; me or your lyin’ eyes?” comes to mind.
Gallup certifies what we knew was coming.
Now that several months have passed since Obama told Bibi Netanyahu that Israel’s suicide would be his best course of action, the few American Jews (overwhelmingly registered Democrats) who expressed some measurable disapproval of Obama have wiped the spittle from their eyes and returned to the Democrat plantation.
Gallup’s most recent poll tells us the “great escape” of Jews from Obama’s trance is over. The survey found the level of support versus disapproval of Obama among American Jews is statistically the same today as it was in March.
Just before Obama’s “suggestion”, American Jews supported Obama 61/34. After some sagging in Jews’ support for his re-election all is forgiven. Today that same measure is 60/32 in favor of Barack Obama’s re-election despite of the fact that he has expressed more unabashed hostility toward Israel than any other president in American history.
Religious Jews versus secular Jews on Obama.
The good news here is at least religious Jews approve of Obama far less than secular Jews do. Just 51% of Jews who attend services weekly approve of Obama with 39% disapprove of him.
The bad news in these numbers is that religious Jews are only about 1/3 of all Jewish voters so the bottom line is still: being Jewish still means voting Democrat without regard for anything but the furtherance of Marxism.
The day may come when America’s Jews turn away from the Democrats, but there is nothing on the horizon that is likely to make that happen anytime soon. If telling Israel to drop dead didn’t turn America’s Jews against Obama who knows what, if anything, ever will?

Posted on WND.com-By Bob Unruh-On July 21, 2011:
“The Department of Homeland Security apparently has blocked employee access to a WND report of a scandal in the agency’s new Cyber Security Command.
The story by WND, the nation’s largest independent Internet news site, described how a former Clinton administration official who “lost” thousands of archived emails that were under subpoena—and more recently left the Department of Homeland Security under a cloud related to her qualifications—was hired for the Obama administration’s new elite team of computer technicians.
The report described how the administration in May quietly hired Laura Callahan for a sensitive post at the U.S. Cyber Command, a newly created agency set up to harden military networks as part of an effort to prevent a “cyberspace version of Pearl Harbor.”
The move raises doubts about the administration’s vetting process for sensitive security positions. In 2004, Callahan was forced to resign from Homeland Security after a congressional investigation revealed she committed résumé fraud and lied about her computer credentials.
Investigators found that Callahan paid a diploma mill thousands of dollars for her bachelors, masters and doctorate degrees in computer science. She back-dated the degrees, all obtained between 2000 and 2001, to appear as if she earned them in 1993, 1995 and 2000, respectively. She landed the job of deputy DHS chief information officer in 2003.
Previously, as a White House computer supervisor, Callahan threatened computer workers to keep quiet about an embarrassing server glitch that led to the loss of thousands of archived emails covered by federal subpoenas pertaining to multiple Clinton scandals.
A government computer specialist was alarmed, saying, “She’s a security risk. I don’t know how she got clearance.”
A CyberCom spokesman told WND Callahan could not be interviewed and did not want her “name in public.” Asked for Callahan’s title, he claimed such information was “personal.”
CyberCom, which began operations last year, is part of the U.S. Strategic Command located in Fort Meade, Md.
But a worker at the federal Department of Homeland Security, who contacted WND through a personal email, reported that on the very day the report appeared, the WND.com site was blocked from computers in the department.
“I am very certain that I can’t access it, and [blocking] has never happened before,” the worker told WND. “I generally take a look at WND every morning to begin the day.
“The guy I work with has been blocked as well,” the worker said.
Another DHS employee hours later contacted WND to provide confirmation.
“Just thought you might like to know that DHS has blocked WND. Can no longer access from work computer. CNN, Fox and CBN no problems,” he wrote.
Staff at the Department of Homeland Security media office, contacted by telephone for a comment, told WND to make the request by email, which was done. There was no response.
WND’s report described how the Defense Department revealed it recently suffered a massive cyberattack. It was in March when hackers working for a foreign government broke into a Pentagon contractor’s computer system and stole 24,000 files. Previous cyberattacks have been blamed on China or Russia.
A new Pentagon study stressed the need to fortify network firewalls against enemy hackers. Callahan will be part of that effort at CyberCom, which will lead day-to-day defense and protection of all Defense Department networks.
“She’s a dubious hire, to put it charitably,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a government watchdog in Washington that sued the Clinton White House to retrieve missing emails.
As WND was first to report, several Northrop Grumman contractors working on the White House computer system testified in early 2000 that Callahan (née Laura Crabtree) threatened to jail them if they talked about the “Project X” email scandal even to their spouses.
One technician, Robert Haas, said she warned him “there will be a jail cell with your name on it” if he breathed a word about the glitch to anybody outside their office.
Chip Sparks, a White House programmer, recounted a run-in he had with Callahan in 1997. After questioning a technical decision she made, he said she wrote him a threatening note.
“Please be advised I will not tolerate any further derogatory comments from you about my knowledge, qualifications and/or professional competence,” Callahan blasted Sparks in a March 3, 1997, email, a copy of which was obtained by WND.
WND has reported numerous times its site has been blocked, including some instances that were inadvertent.
The McAfee Internet security corporation promised a fix after it placed WND in the categories of “Blogs/Wiki” and “Controversial Opinion” in a database of websites, triggering a number of systems to deny users access.
The denial messages specifically mentioned the “blogs/wiki” and “controversial opinion” classifications McAfee had applied to WND in its “sites” office that reviews and categorizes Web operations for customers.
The description later was restored to that of a general news and opinion website.
The warning had said, “Your request to URL ‘http://www.wnd.com/’ has been blocked by the Webwasher URL Filter Database. The URL is listed under categories (Blogs/Wiki, Controversial Opinions), which are not allowed by your administrator at this time.”
A teacher who found WND.com blocked write to WND.
“I am an avid reader of your site,” he said. “I frequent it at least 2-3 times a day and read many of your commentaries on the site. I love Molotov Mitchell! He is my favorite.”
He said he then checked Moveon.org and found it was not blocked.
“Another fine example of shutting down any information resource that doesn’t agree with our current political administration,” he said.
Among the institutions in which access to WND was affected were Raytheon and Veterans Affairs hospitals.
A “Web Guard” option offered by T-Mobile on its cellular telephone service disconnected access for some readers to WND.com by mistakenly classifying it as “adult” material.
Another case arose in Minnesota when a reader told of getting a response of “inappropriate” when he tried to access WND through the Wi-Fi services at a Dunn Bros. coffee shop.
The coffee shop was using software from DansGuardian.org. Other questions were raised by WND readers over the work of one of the larger filtering companies, ContentWatch.com, which has a product called Net Nanny that has been cited by readers several times for blocking WND for having “hate and violence.”
That company has told WND it now “has made the necessary changes.”
Early in 2007, WND finally resolved a blocking situation involving the military provider that makes Internet services available to U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine bases worldwide.
The U.S. Navy launched an investigation into blocking of WND at WND’s request after the news site received a flood of emails from readers.
An undefined “security” issue between the Web-hosting location WND uses and the Navy computer later was resolved. A block by American Airlines also was lifted, as were blocks by several other filtering companies.”

She landed the job of deputy DHS chief information officer in 2003.
Previously, as a White House computer supervisor, Callahan threatened computer workers to keep quiet about an embarrassing server glitch that led to the loss of thousands of archived emails covered by federal subpoenas pertaining to multiple Clinton scandals.
Former co-workers say they’re shocked that Callahan passed a security background check and landed another sensitive post inside the federal government.
“She’s a security risk,” said a government computer specialist. “I don’t know how she got clearance.”
“We’re fuming about it,” said another federal employee. “Knowing her, I don’t see how she could ever be 100-percent honest.”
A CyberCom spokesman said Callahan could not be interviewed and did not want her “name in public.” Asked for Callahan’s title, he claimed such information was “personal.”
CyberCom, which began operations last year, is part of the U.S. Strategic Command located in Fort Meade, Md.
The Defense Department last week revealed it recently suffered a massive cyberattack, even as it announced a new strategy to actively combat online threats to national security.
In March, hackers working for a foreign government broke into a Pentagon contractor’s computer system and stole 24,000 files. Previous cyberattacks have been blamed on China or Russia.
A new Pentagon study stresses the need to fortify network firewalls against enemy hackers. Callahan will be part of that effort at CyberCom, which will lead day-to-day defense and protection of all Defense Department networks.

“Please be advised I will not tolerate any further derogatory comments from you about my knowledge, qualifications and/or professional competence,” Callahan blasted Sparks in a March 3, 1997, e-mail, a copy of which was obtained by WND.
{…}
Callahan had to do some quick backpedaling after her House testimony. The day after she testified, she sent an affidavit to the House Government Reform Committee, stating: “I wish to clarify that I did discuss e-mail issues with the Department of Justice attorneys in connection with currently pending civil litigation,” referring to a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch. She had denied such contacts at the hearing.
Callahan left the White House under an ethical cloud, only to land a top position elsewhere in the Clinton administration. Labor Secretary Alexis Herman made her deputy chief information officer at her agency, and director of its information technology center.
While there, she oversaw the development of the Privacy Assessment Model, which agencies were to use to better protect sensitive personal data managed by the government.
“It’s hard for me, having worked with this individual, to believe that she was able to come in there, do what she did, leave the things in the condition that she left them in and then fly right into an SES (senior executive service) position at the Labor Department,” Sparks said.
“I mean, there’s political favors there,” he added. “It’s writ large.”
House Government Reform Committee investigators at the time said Labor knew Callahan got her degree from a diploma mill, yet still employed her. They found that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management tipped Labor off to her questionable credentials.
“We have requested the Homeland Security IG to look at why flags that had been raised about her educational qualifications in her personnel file at the Labor Department were not taken further,” said House Government Reform Committee spokesman Dave Marin at the time.
He told WND that the government certainly cannot risk hiring someone with “fraudulent credentials” to head a senior position in an area as “sensitive as homeland security” computer operations and communications.
Calls to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management seeking comment about Callahan’s latest hiring were not returned.”

Please enjoy the tune and be inspired by the pictures from the event that launched the conservative movement.
A rewrite of the words will make the song the battle tune for today’s Tea Party.
Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin would be honored to stand in the shadow of Alice Moore. Today’s’ preachers should try to follow the footsteps of preachers Hill, Graley, Quigley, and Horan. Those Tea Party patriots put it all on the line for God, country, and (most of all) their children.
May God grant that this video will be the turning point leading to the redemption of America.
In God’s perfect timing the video was posted on July 11, 2011.
Evil had 911. May Grace have 711.
Most importantly, let's pray that God will use the video to open hearts and minds to the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Please pass it on.
Here are tentative partial lyrics for the Tea Party Theme Song to lead us into 2012 and beyond.
Tea Party patriots are looking for reform--what are they doing in this country stirring up a storm?
Don’t they know they’re rousing people ‘round the USA, telling folks right from left and God fearing ways?
…
Well, the first to stand were at Boston in seventeen seventy-three...
…
Next to stand were West Virginians in nineteen seventy-four…
…
One nasty election in twenty-oh-eight liberals were everywhere…
Now that the government has painted itself into a corner and cannot find a way out, the idea is being spread that the Tea Party is too rigid. The response to that idiotic notion is that the Tea Party is firm in its intent to reestablish constitutional law. The idea is being spread that the Tea Party represents the religious right. The response to that totally false notion is, again, that the Tea Party adheres to the Constitution.
Giving ourselves credit for being of intelligent design—evolved from ape, most likely, but above ape in consciousness—blessed with reason, logic, ethics, and morals—of a higher order and of “Higher Law”—when “ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. But be ye not like them for your Father knoweth what things you have need of, before ye ask him (Mt. 6:7,8).
Who is our “Father?” Jesus wasn’t a Christian. Jesus wasn’t religious; he wasn’t doctrinaire. Our “Father” is everyone’s God. Why should civil law differ from God’s law? God’s law is nothing more nor less than the collective will of those humans who have come before us, and whose archetype we are. Jungian psychology says we inherit patterns of thought and this pattern is universally present.
The Greek priest and leading thinker of his day, Plutarch (40-120 A.D.), held that an idea, having no form by itself, but giving figure and form to shapeless matter, becomes reality. This defines human thinking. No other life form on the planet is like us. We are learning that our reality is nothing at all like we’ve been misdirected to believe. We are learning that nothing in the universe is supernatural. All has a natural explanation. You cannot logically separate religion, the law, and science. The orthodoxy categorizes for the sake of expedience. For instance, the Constitution clearly implies we are all equal. For expedience’s sake, black skin meant that humans were the same as mules and cows. They had no rights. And now the government entitled have rights that exceed those of producers. This is the crux of the problem.
This, the greatest fraud of all times, is bankrupting America morally, spiritually, and fiscally. And yet nary a thought in Washington, D.C. of a real change. All the talk is about how to keep the system in place, the work of Washington. D.C.—and how to divide and conquer those who are stupid enough to walk into the trap.
We are of intelligent design and of divine origin. Read the Scriptures in this sense and they harmonize with natural law. Look within for who you are and harmonize with nature’s God, the Higher Law, and the Constitution.
Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Mt. 6:33). The kingdom of God is internal. “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Mt. 6:34). “Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye” (Mt. 7:5).

Posted on CNSNews.com-By Patrick Goodenough-On July 22, 2011:
“(CNSNews.com) – A new report assessing the security challenges posed by North Korea draws fresh attention to two-way collaboration between the Stalinist state and Iran on developing long-range missiles designed to carry a nuclear payload.
The report by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) think tank, due for release in Washington on Monday, evaluates North Korea’s non-conventional and missile programs as well as its conventional forces, internal dynamics including those relating to the leadership succession, and various scenarios for eventual Korean unification.
The report indicates that Iranian missile development is steaming ahead, with the Islamic republic developing ever more sophisticated weapons.
While North Korea is taking advantage of Iranian technology, Iran is benefiting from Pyongyang’s advances in uranium-enrichment equipment, it says. The West suspects Iran is working on a nuclear weapons capability, under the cover of a nuclear energy program that Tehran insists is for solely peaceful purposes.
According to Mark Fitzpatrick, director of the IISS’ non-proliferation and disarmament program, North Korea helped Libya and Syria to take forward nuclear weapons programs and may do the same for Iran and Burma.
(Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2003 negotiated a deal with the U.S. and Britain renouncing his weapons of mass destruction programs and handed over nuclear bombmaking technology including thousands of centrifuges; Syria’s alleged facilities were destroyed in an Israeli bombing in 2007, and the U.N. nuclear watchdog recently referred the Syrian activities to the U.N. Security Council.)
The IISS report says estimates of North Korea’s plutonium stockpile range from 4-12 bombs’ worth
“It cannot be confidently said that North Korea has developed reliable, deliverable nuclear weapons,” it argues. “Nevertheless, it will eventually be able to develop a warhead capable of fitting on a ballistic missile with satisfactory re-entry technology, especially if it conducts further nuclear tests to refine its weapon design.”
The report says that despite having limited indigenous missile production capabilities, North Korea “continues to show considerable interest in developing a satellite-launch capability, as well as longer-range ballistic missiles, possibly including an ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missile]. North Korea has the wherewithal to develop these systems if it so decides.”
‘Iran, North Korea already have ICBM technology’ With Iran’s own missile development progressing, it would be an obvious source of help for North Korea in this area.
After Iran early this month held a 10-day military exercise called Great Prophet 6, during which it fired a number of missiles with claimed ranges that could threaten Israel as well as U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, a former head of Israel’s missile defense agency warned that Iran had overtaken North Korea in the development of sophisticated long-range missiles.
“The Iranians’ missile program is running ahead, and the moment they have a nuclear weapon, they will have the means to launch it,” the Jerusalem Post quoted Uzi Rubin as saying on July 14.
Another recent warning about the threat posed by both rogue states came from a top Russian missile technology expert.
In an interview with the Russian daily Kommersant on July 6 Yuri Solomonov, until recently the head of Russia’s leading strategic ballistic missile facility, disputed the official defense ministry position about North Korea and Iran not posing a potential missile threat.
Both countries already possessed the technology to develop functioning ICBMs, he was quoted as telling the paper.
With missile development high on the military agendas of North Korea and Iran, and both regimes subjected to arms-related sanctions, reports of collaboration between them come as little surprise. A missile partnership appears in fact to have been in place since at least the early 1990s.
When North Korea in May 1993 tested its medium-range Nodong missile, Iranian experts attended the launch, according to media reports at the time. Iran subsequently developed the Shahab-3, testing it in 1998 with North Koreans officials this time reportedly observing.
Iran insisted that the Shahab-3 was “entirely” Iranian-made, but experts said it was clearly modeled on the Nodong. (Similarly, Iran’s earlier Shahab-2 was essentially the same as an earlier North Korean Scud missile, the short-range Hwasong-6).
In July 2006, after North Korea fired a long-range Taepodong-2 as well as several Nodongs and Hwasongs, Bush administration officials told U.S. lawmakers that Iranian officials had witnessed the tests. (The Taepodong-2 aborted 40 seconds after launch.)
Hardware observed in a televised military parade in North Korea last October showed that Iranian missile improvements were now starting to show up on North Korean weapons, further reinforcing suspicions about ongoing joint development.
A dangerous time:
The IISS report says the dynastic succession underway in North Korea and uncertainties arising from the process make this a risky time.
North Korea could become “an even more dangerous nation, more inclined to engage in further military provocations, to cling to its weapons of mass destruction and to offer them for sale to any would-be buyer,” it says.
“The Kim family will have to rely heavily on physical power exercised by the military and the state-security apparatus in order to ensure a successful succession. In pursuit of the goal of becoming a ‘strong and prosperous great nation’ by 2012, the centennial of the founding father’s birth, such military capabilities are all that the regime can summon.”
The report offers several scenarios for unification of the Korean peninsula The first two “positive” scenarios are viewed as unlikely – a “soft landing,” with the regime gradually ending aggressive behavior and seeking reconciliation and possibly eventual peaceful integration with the South; or a “German-style reunification by absorption and a voluntary or peaceful collapse of the Kim regime.”
A third scenario envisages “unification through North Korean collapse the hard way,” triggered by an internal challenge or South Korean military retaliation to further provocation from the North.
A fourth, similar, scenario is “reunification through war.”
Finally, the IISS report says a potential outcome that should not be ruled out would see the Pyongyang regime survive, propped up by Beijing and becoming a de facto satellite or client state of China.
“China seems to have made a strategic decision that a unified Korea under Seoul leadership and allied to the U.S. goes fundamentally against its interests,” it says.”

I. Iran Developing Bombs that Can Hit US East!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on Israel National News-By Fern Sidman, A7 New York-On July 22, 2011:
“Elliott Chodoff, an American born political and military analyst and an IDF reserve major, spoke at the “Middle East Briefing” session of the sixth CUFI national summit in Washington this week.
Citing Israeli military intelligence, Chodoff was quite forthright in his analysis of a possible attack by Iran. “Israel cannot survive a nuclear attack. You cannot trust a nuclear deterrent. Israel cannot wipe out Iran’s nuclear arsenal but the US can.” Chodoff added that the Iranian regime has been developing bombs that have the capability of hitting US cities on the East coast.
He delivered an account of the history of radical Islamism, saying, “The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 and its leader imbibed the Nazi ideology that focused on the extermination of the Jews.” Noting that Iranian cleric Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran who came to power during the Islamic revolution of 1979 was active in disseminating the Muslim Brotherhood ideology to school children, he said that it was Khomeini who was the first to label Americas as “the great Satan” and referred to Christians as the enemies while declaring that America is run by Jews.
American perception of Khomeini was skewed according to Mr. Chodoff, who revealed that at the time, the US representative at the United Nations Andrew Young said that Khomeini was “a great humanitarian” and dismissed his flagrant hostility. He added that Hizbullah (the party of G-d) that was founded in 1980 is currently “the most dangerous organization on earth” and is responsible for developing the terrorist strategy of suicide bombings with most of them directed at American targets. Chodoff said that it was weakness on the part of the US as manifested by their decision to leave Lebanon in the throes of terrorism that emboldened the enemy. “When Hizbullah saw that Americans were taking leave of Lebanon they knew they could push us out,” he said.
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu addressed the session via satellite from Jerusalem. Greeted with over 10 minutes of applause and enthusiastic cheers, Mr. Netanyahu extended his appreciation to those Christian supporters of Israel who have the “courage to stand up and speak the truth.”
Drawing the largest applause was Netanyahu’s reference to the biblical connection of the Jewish people to their ancestral homeland. “The Jewish people are not occupiers in the land of Israel. We have returned to the land of our forebears; of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David and Solomon and we are here to stay.” Speaking of Israel as America’s only reliable ally in the Middle East, Netanyahu underscored Israel’s initiatives at the peace table. “This conflict is not about Israel refusing to accept a Palestinian state. Israel wants peace with the Palestinians, but we can’t build a peace based on lies.”
Colonel Ben Tzion Gruber of the Israel Defense Forces took the audience through a video and slide presentation that described how the IDF takes great pains to avoid civilian casualties during military strikes and during wartime. He said that the nomenclature of the code of ethics can be divided into three categories. “Necessity,” he said, means that force is only employed for accomplishing the mission, and “Distinction” means that every measure is taken so that innocents will not be harmed, and “Proportionality” means that collateral damage is only used in proportion to the threat.
Also addressing the session was Malcolm Hoenlein, the Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations who said, “We have begun a three week period of mourning for the Jewish people as we remember the destruction of our Holy Temple and other calamities that befell us throughout history.” He asked his biblically well-versed audience: “If I would ask you to provide the names of those spies who returned from the land of Israel with a negative report, would you remember their names? The answer is no because those who stand with Israel are remembered for posterity and those who decry Israel are forgotten.”
On the international campaign to abrogate the biblical and religious heritage of the Jewish people in the land of Israel, Mr. Hoenlein said, “Those who would dismiss our past also risk our future. For example, there are those who question Judaism’s undeniable ties with Rachel’s Tomb and thus would like to transform it into a mosque. There are those who say that our Temples never existed. Our bible tells us that Abraham purchased the city of Hevron, in broad daylight, in full view of all, because he knew that in the future its ownership would be challenged. Today there are regular archeological discoveries which serve as concrete proof of the fact that when you open your bibles, the land of Israel comes to life. We must ask ourselves: why did G-d give this generation the privilege of uncovering this Jewish connection. What does it mean for us in the future?”
Mr. Hoenlein concluded by telling the members of CUFI that when they stand for Israel, they stand for America and will be thanked by their grandchildren for doing so.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on InfoWars.com-By Paul Joseph Watson, Infowars.com-On July 21, 2011:
“A new promotional video released by the Department of Homeland Security characterizes white middle class Americans as the most likely terrorists, as Big Sis continues its relentless drive to cement the myth that mad bombers are hiding around every corner, when in reality Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes or peanut allergies.
The video is part of Homeland Security’s $10 million dollar “See Something, Say Something” program that encourages Americans to report “suspicious activity,” which in every case throughout history has been a trait of oppressive, dictatorial regimes.
In the course of the 10 minute clip, a myriad of different behaviors are characterized as terrorism, including opposing surveillance, using a video camera, talking to police officers, wearing hoodies, driving vans, writing on a piece of paper, and using a cell phone recording application.
Despite encouraging viewers not to pay attention to a person’s race in determining whether or not they may be a terrorist, almost all of the scenarios in the clip proceed to portray white people as the most likely terrorists. Bizarrely, nearly every single one of the “patriotic” Americans who reports on their fellow citizen is either black, Asian or Arab. Imagine if the video had portrayed every terrorist as an Arab and every patriotic snoop as white, there’d be an outcry and rightly so, but this strange reversal must have been deliberate on the part of the DHS, but why? Is this merely political correctness taken to the extreme or is something deeper at work?
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the DHS’ own internal documents list predominantly white conservative groups as the most likely terrorists, such as Ron Paul supporters, gun owners, gold bullion enthusiasts, and a myriad of other comparatively banal political interests that are largely the domain of white middle class Americans.
This has little to do with the color of a person’s skin, and everything to do with the fact that white, middle class Americans are the biggest roadblock when it comes to Big Sis expanding its control over every facet of American society.
It’s plain to see that very little of the budget for this video went towards paying for decent actors, but perhaps it’s fitting that the participants were about as believable as Santa and his elves, because the notion that terrorists are hovering around every underground parking lot waiting to blow up federal buildings is demonstrably false.
As Ohio University’s John Mueller has documented, the likelihood of actually being a victim of terrorism is infinitesimally small, and only highlights how such threats are hyperbolically exaggerated for political purposes.
Figures collected by Mueller clearly show that Americans are just as likely to be killed by lightning strikes, accident-causing deer, or severe allergic reactions to peanuts.
But the facts don’t matter for a federal agency whose primary function is to manufacture fear to keep Americans under control and submissive to the fact that their economic futures and their constitutional rights are being torn to shreds by their own government while it points to a contrived outside threat as a convenient distraction.
“At its core, the video is filled with scenes of ordinary citizens spying on each other and alerting the authorities to their compatriots’ suspicious deeds,” writes Simon Black. In my favorite scene, a woman calls the police after snooping over the shoulder of a young man typing away on his smartphone.”
Black notes that such videos are solely aimed at reinforcing ignorance, hate and fear for those who still live in darkness and are completely unaware of the real agenda behind Homeland Security’s “see something, say something” charade.
But what is that agenda?
No matter where you look, from East Germany, to Communist Russia, to Nazi Germany, historically governments who encourage their own citizens to report on each other do so not for any genuine safety concerns or presumed benefits to security, but in order to create an authoritarian police state that coerces the people into policing each other’s behavior and thoughts.
As Robert Gellately of Florida State University has highlighted, Germans under Hitler denounced their neighbors and friends not because they genuinely believed them to be a security threat, but because they expected to selfishly benefit from doing so, both financially, socially and psychologically via a pavlovian need to be rewarded by their masters for their obedience.
At the height of its influence around one in seven of the East German population was an informant for the Stasi. As in Nazi Germany, the creation of an informant system was wholly centered around identifying political dissidents and those with grievances against the state, and had little or nothing to do with genuine security concerns.
This is the kind of society the Department of Homeland Security is, whether deliberately or inadvertently, recreating in 21st century America. It is about as far removed as you can possibly get from the vision the founders of the nation had in mind when they created the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.
Comment by Alex Jones: This DHS video is purposefully designed to transmit fear and hatred of Muslims over to white Americans. Look at the part of the clip where an image of “Jihad Jane” is displayed, the blue eyes are artificially intensified in order to get the message across.
This is about playing minorities off against whites, creating further resentment and suspicion, getting us at each other’s throats just as how different racial groups were set upon each other in Hitler’s Germany to create an environment of fear and distrust, motivating people to inform on each other for the state.
I will be making a special comment on this story during the show today.

Question: Isn’t it extremely interesting that CNN and other news outlets here at home and abroad, who have been bought and paid for by George Soros, didn’t waste any time in claiming that the suspect in Friday's deadly terror attacks in Norway was a gun lover and has right-wing extremist views?
The following is a CNN article and/or blog post that claims that the Norway suspect has right-wing extremist views-You Decide:
Suspect In Friday's Deadly Terror Attacks In Norway Has Right-Wing Extremist Views!
Posted on CNN.com-By the CNN Wire Staff-On July 24, 2011:
“Oslo, Norway (CNN) -- A rambling, 1,500-page manifesto purportedly written by the suspect in Friday’s deadly terror attacks in Norway lays out right-wing extremist views and vows that a “European civil war” will lead to the execution of “cultural Marxists” and the banishing of Muslims.
“If you are concerned about the future of Western Europe you will definitely find the information both interesting and highly relevant,” the author writes, adding later that his “European Declaration of Independence” took him nine years to complete.
While the title page of the document says “By Andrew Berwick,” the writer later identifies himself as Anders Behring Breivik, the suspect in the Norwegian terrorist attacks.
The document—part political diatribe, part confessional and part action plan—also contains a link to an online video post with the same title.
CNN could not independently verify that Breivik wrote the document or posted the 12-minute video, and Norwegian authorities would not confirm that the man in their custody wrote the manifesto, saying it was part of their investigation.
Police told the Norwegian newspaper VG that the document is “linked” to Friday’s attacks.
Text in the video rails against the “Islamization” of Europe and “cultural Marxists” and asserts that the majority of Europe’s population will be Muslim by 2050 “unless we manage to defeat the ruling Multiculturalist Alliance.”
“Celebrate us, the martyrs of the conservative revolution, for we will soon dine in the Kingdom of Heaven,” the video says.
Parts of the document use the same wording as the 35,000-word anti-technology manifesto written by “Unabomber” Ted Kaczynski and published in the Washington Post in 1995.
In one passage, the document published online last week uses the same wording as the Unabomber’s manifesto, but substitutes the phrase “cultural Marxist” where Kaczynski used the word “leftist,” and uses the word “Muslims” where Kaczynski used the phrase “black people.”
The document contains some of the same anti-Muslim rhetoric that has become a part of mainstream debate in Norway, according to Anders Ravik Jupskaas, a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Oslo who studies right-wing political movements in Scandinavia.
“What you see here is this new European phenomenon of this anti-Islamic rhetoric, where it’s not only the immigrants (who are enemies). In fact, the main enemy is the political elite,” he said. “They argue that this political elite has betrayed their own country. They have imposed multiculturalism.”
But the writer takes such philosophies to another level, he said.
“It’s part of the same stream of ideas, but it’s still very different in terms of extremeness,” Jupskaas said.
Norwegian authorities have said they are still trying to determine the motive behind the terror attacks.
In the manifesto, the author vilifies Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and his Labour Party, which has majority control in Norway’s government, accusing the party of perpetuating “cultural Marxist/multiculturalist ideals” and indoctrinating youth with those ideals. The author accuses the Labour Party of embracing those ideals and therefore allowing the “Islamification of Europe.”
The manifesto speculates about would happen if the author were to survive “a successful mission and live to stand a multiculturalist trial.”
“Not only will all my friends and family detest me and call me a monster; the united global multiculturalist media will have their hands full figuring out multiple ways to character assassinate, vilify and demonize,” it says.
The manifesto and videoinclude photos that appear to match those of the suspect, some of which had been posted on his Facebook page and several never-before-seen images of the same man. The author leaves clues about his family and background, and also indicates that English is his “secondary language.”
The document and video are titled “2083: A European Declaration of Independence,” a date that the author later explains is the year he believes an European civil war will end with the execution of cultural Marxists and the deportation of Muslims.
This “civil war” would come in three phases, he predicts. The first runs through 2030 and includes “open source warfare, military shock attacks by clandestine cell systems (and) further consolidation of conservative forces.”
Between 2030 and 2070, he calls for “more advanced forms of resistance groups (and the) preparation of pan-European coup d’etats.”
The final stage features the deposition of Europe’s leaders and “implementation of a cultural conservative political agenda.”
The author does not specifically explain why he chose the date 2083, though it is the 200th anniversary of the death of Karl Marx.
The manifesto and video also containphotos of Breivik in what appear to be uniforms, including one in which he is wearing a U.S. Marine dress jacket decorated with an Iron Cross, Knights Templar and Free Mason medals.
Another picture shows Breivik dressed in a wet suit with a patch that reads “Marxist Hunter” and holding a high-powered rifle.
The author states that he was moved to action dating to “my government’s involvement” in NATO’s 1999 strikes during the Kosovo campaign, claiming this wrongly targeted “our Serbian brothers (who) wanted to drive Islam out by deporting the Albanian Muslims back to Albania.”
He also criticizes “my government’s cowardly handling of the Muhammad cartoon issue”—a reference to the Norwegian government’s apology for the nation’s private newspapers having repeatedly published the controversial cartoon. Another reference blasts Norway, home of the Nobel awards, for awarding a peace prize to late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
The author details his bomb-making experiments, including a theory that one should purchase a farm so that purchase of large amounts of fertilizer—which can be used to make bombs—is less likely to be noticed.
“Be extra careful when researching for bomb schematics (fertilizer bombs), as many terms will trigger electronic alerts,” he writes, one of several tips that include using an “anonymous laptop and browse free to your local McDonalds” in order to “avoid ending up on any watch list.”
Besides hands-on instructions, the document also functions as a running diary. It also includes references to his relatives’ sexual indiscretions, entries on some of his friends’ personal lives, and his own off-and-on steroid use.
From July 2 on, though, the author becomes more business-like and complains that going off his testosterone supplements had ramped up his “aggressiveness.” He then digs up his guns and prepares the bombs. It all leads up to July 22, the date of the Norway terror attacks.
“The old saying ‘if you want something done, then do it yourself’ is as relevant now as it was then,” he writes. “In many cases; you could do it all yourself, it will just take a little more time. AND, without taking unacceptable risks. The conclusion is undeniable.
“I believe this will be my last entry. It is now Fri July 22nd, 12.51.”
Less than three hours later, a bomb went off in downtown Oslo.”

Sometimes WOW just doesn't do justice to the stuff coming out of this administration. Try this new tidbit on for size:
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to Zetas
It’s a stunning allegation that makes the other gunrunning scandals look like child’s play.
July 22, 2011 - 10:35 am - Bob Owens
Phil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.
Robert “Tosh” Plumlee, a former CIA contract pilot, told the Times he supported Jordan’s allegations, adding that the Zetas have reportedly bought property in the Columbus, N.M., border region to stash weapons and other contraband.
“From the intel, it appears that a company was set up in Mexico to purchase weapons through the U.S. Direct Commercial Sales Program, and that the company may have had a direct link to the Zetas.”
The U.S. Direct Commercial Sales program is run from the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. It regulates and licenses private U.S. companies’ overseas sales of weapons and other defense materials, defense services, and military training. This does not include the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, which authorized sales to foreign governments.
An El Paso Times article – as of now ignored by mainstream media — went into much more shocking detail:
“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
“The information about the arms trafficking was provided to our U.S. authorities long before the ‘Columbus 11′ investigation began,” said Plumlee, referring to recent indictments accusing several Columbus city officials of arms trafficking in conjunction with alleged accomplices in El Paso and Chaparral, N.M.
Jesús Rejón Aguilar, the number three man in the Zeta’s hierarchy, disclosed last week that the Zetas bought weapons in the United States and transported them across the Rio Grande. Mexican federal authorities captured Rejón on July 3 in the state of Mexico, and presented him to the news media the next day. His recorded video statement was uploaded on YouTube.
Jordan agreed with Plumlee’s allegations that the Zetas are operating in the Columbus-Palomas border.
Plumlee, who has testified before U.S. congressional committees about arms and drug trafficking, said the roads in Southern New Mexico provide smugglers easy access to Mexico’s highway networks.
Insight.org provides a map of the air-smuggling route originating in Dallas at Alliance Airport and ending in Columbus, New Mexico — a small town that has also been rocked by the arrests and guilty pleas of the town mayor and other elected officials who were running guns to a cartel safehouse, and then apparently into Mexico.
There is no direct link made as of yet between the Columbus, NM, officials case and the allegations of the Dallas-to-Columbus air smuggling route, but the possible connection should raise eyebrows.

Just wondering what it is going to take to get the Rule of Law to work for us once again. Until we change the entire make-up of Congress and the courts, this too will go unchecked, and these criminal traitors and seditionists will continue their carnage of the Constitution unabated. And yes, SEDITION is a legitimate charge here, another very important one added to the growing list against the Obama Cabal. What is so mind-boggling is that all this is verifiable, with witnesses and FACTS! Watch the MSM spin this one as another conspiracy theory!! Somedays it's so very tempting to just throw up your hands and walk away, numbed with frustration. DON'T DO IT!!!! That's when it's time to burn up a few hundred more rounds just to stay tuned up.
TREASON is defined in Article 3, Sec. 3 Clause 1 of the Constitution ; "Treason against the United States shall consist only in Levying War against them, or in adhereing to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." Seems to me that violent drug cartels are not our friends, but our enemies, though they may be Obama's friends, but he is a sworn enemy of the United States AS WELL.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on American Thinker-By Pamela Geller-On July 22, 2011:
“While New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg works in anxious haste to build the cultural obscenity that is the Ground Zero mosque, the iconic St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, which was built in 1916 and destroyed in the attack on the World Trade Center towers by Muslim terrorists, remains vanquished, unable to rebuild.
Bloomberg is lobbying for 9/11 taxpayer funds for the Islamic supremacist grifters behind the Ground Zero mosque, but St. Nicholas Church is in purgatory ten years after the worst day in modern American history.
Perhaps St. Nicholas Church should claim that it is a mosque—then Bloomberg and New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn would probably pour the cement for its foundation. Remember: the New York Daily News reported last December that “Mayor Bloomberg’s top deputies went to great lengths to help those trying to build a mosque at Ground Zero—even drafting a letter to the community board for them.”
After a Freedom of Information Act request from Judicial Watch, New York City officials released “a flurry of emails between its brass and Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam pushing to build a mosque near the sensitive site, and his supporters.” It was worse than we imagined. The release of these documents, emails, and various exchanges between Mayor Bloomberg’s office and the radical Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and his motley crew of Islamic supremacists showed evidence of collusion, inappropriate political support for the Ground Zero mega-mosque, and favoritism given to the project.
Rauf is an open proponent of Islamic law, Sharia, with its oppression of women, stonings, and amputations. He is a prominent member of the Perdana organization, a leading funder of the jihad flotilla launched against Israel last year by the genocidal Islamic terror group, IHH. And he’s a slumlord and grifter: Rauf snagged more than $2 million in public financing to renovate low-income apartments. He took the money, never did the renovations, and forced good people to live with vermin and dilapidation.
So why did the mayor apparently break ethical rules for a slumlord with radical ties, whose buildings were placed in receivership? And why isn’t he working just as energetically for the rebuilding of St. Nicholas Church? Technically, he has no jurisdiction over the Port Authority, which is blocking the rebuilding of the church, but he could speak out more energetically for it—and meanwhile, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver could do a great deal to help the church’s cause—but in sharp contrast to Bloomberg’s work for the mosque, they haven’t done a thing for the church.
Cuomo could order Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward to stop blocking the church’s reconstruction. He hasn’t. Silver hasn’t done a thing, either. Yet if they support the Ground Zero mosque, they should at least extend the same level of support to this church that was on the site for 85 years.
I spoke with Evan C. Lambrou, who is a former editor of the National Herald, the country’s oldest and largest Greek-American newspaper, and a distinguished graduate of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Boston. He explained that it was “wrong for the Port Authority to take the church’s original property for its purposes, in exchange for another parcel nearby; extract the church’s good faith by promising to actually deliver the promised new parcel; and then not make good on that promise. In short, the Port Authority got the church to do something it didn’t really want to do by promising the church something else instead, and then refused to give what was promised. That’s just not right. It’s morally reprehensible, in fact.”
Yes, it is, and it gets worse. Lambrou continued: “It’s very disgraceful that the Port Authority has compelled the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese to file a federal lawsuit just to rebuild one of our churches. And it’s simply astounding that people work themselves into such a frenzy about Park 51; that so many elected officials have rushed to defend development of an Islamic community center two blocks away from Ground Zero; and that virtually no one cares about the Port Authority’s plans to exclude a Christian church from Ground Zero altogether.”
Lambrou skewered the double standard: “This country was founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and principles, so if elected officials are going to support religious freedom for Muslims in America, they should do the same for one of this country’s Christian minorities.”
“That’s why I’m disappointed,” Lambrou said, “in Governor Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver.” He sent them both letters and emails, but their response “wasn’t even lukewarm.” He received “one feel-good call from a press officer at the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation assuring me that the “Cuomo Administration cares.” And as for Silver, one of his aides told Lambrou that he was “concerned” about the church. That was it. Lambrou sent them both information from the American Center for Law and Justice that pointed out that in refusing to rebuild the church, the Port Authority had violated three constitutional amendments. Nonetheless, Lammbrou said, “neither Mr. Cuomo nor Mr. Silver have voiced their support for the church publicly. I have urged them to do so several times, and they still haven’t yet.”
Lambrou told me: “This is both a moral and a Constitutional matter. Is it really that difficult for them to release a substantive public statement of support for rebuilding this church? Is it really so hard for them to tell the Port Authority to do the right thing for the church?” When I asked him if the lawsuit that the church had filed against various New York officials might be causing the silence, he responded: “This is a no-brainer, and the lawsuit is no excuse. Anyway, the lack of response to my concerns has been deeply disheartening. Orthodox Christian rights are being violated by a powerful public entity under their watch, and the people who should be defending us are doing nothing about it.”
While those of us who oppose the Islamic supremacist mosquestrosity at Ground Zero are routinely called bigots, it is St. Nicholas Church that is encountering actual bigotry.
Lambrou said, “I never thought I would find myself contending with this kind of bigotry in 21st Century America, and I feel completely betrayed that those who are in a position to reverse the problem have done nothing about it. That indicates they’re actually willing to relegate this innocent and historic house of worship to oblivion and, in so doing, perpetuate the tragedy of 9/11.”
They are, but we aren’t. Stop the Islamization of lower Manhattan. Stand with us against the Ground Zero Mosque and for St. Nicholas Church on September 11 at our Freedom Rally at Ground Zero.

Note: Mr. George Soros is one of the most powerful men on earth. Since 1979, Soros’ foundation network—whose flagship is the Open Society Institute (OSI) — has dispensed more than $5 billion to a multitude of organizations whose objectives are consistent with those of Soros. With assets of $1.93 billion as of 2008, OSI alone donates scores of millions of dollars annually to these various groups. Following is only one of Soros’ many agendas relating to organizations that oppose all 9/11 national security measures that are advanced by groups that Soros and OSI support financially:
Organizations that oppose virtually all post-9/11 national-security measures enacted by the U.S. government:
- The Center for Constitutional Rights, founded by four longtime supporters of communist causes, has condemnedthe “immigration sweeps, ghost detentions, extraordinary rendition, and every other illegal program the government has devised” in response to “the so-called War on Terror.”
- The National Security Archive Fund collects and publishes declassified documents (obtained through the Freedom of Information Act) to a degree that compromises American national security and the safety of intelligence agents.
- The American Civil Liberties Union has depicted the U.S. government's post-9/11 national-security measures as excessively harsh and invasive generally, and also as discriminatory against Muslims in particular. Moreover, the organization has filed numerous lawsuits seeking to limit the government's ability to locate, monitor, and apprehend terrorist operatives.
- Human Rights Watch has derided the U.S. war on terror as a foolhardy endeavor rooted in blindness to the realization that terrorism stems, in large measure, from America's failure “to promote fundamental rights around the world.”

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On July 22, 2011:
“A slew of organizations funded by billionaire George Soros have been utilizing the alleged News of the World phone hacking scandal in the U.K. to call for investigations of News Corporation’s U.S. interests, particularly Fox News Channel.
The Center for American Progress, heavily financed by Soros, said it gathered 12,000 signatures demanding to know whether News Corp. reporters violated U.S. law by obtaining phone records in the U.S.
The center is reportedly highly influential in helping to craft White House policy. It is led by John Podesta, who served as co-chairman of Obama’s presidential transition team.
Podesta this week told reporters his group wants the U.S. division of News Corp. probed for other possible offenses, including violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prosecutes for bribery of foreign officials.
“We’ve called attention to the fact that – News Corp. is a U.S.-based corporation; that could implicate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,” he said.
Already, Podesta’s signature drive was cited in part for Democratic Sens. Jay Rockefeller and Barbara Boxer sending a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder requesting an investigation into claims News Corp. may have hacked the phones of 9/11 victims.
The center’s offshoot, Think Progress, has been leading Twitter and Facebook campaigns calling for investigations into Rupert Murdoch’s U.S. media empire.
Think Progress even alleged News Corp. could have been involved in the November 2009 email hacking of a climate research institute that showed climate scientists conspiring to rig data in the direction of so-called global warming.
“But we still don’t know who hacked the emails!” contended Think Progress in an article entitled “News Corp and the Hacked Climategate Emails: Time for an Independent Investigation.”
Podesta’s center is also going after the Wall Street Journal. ClimateProgress.org, a project of the Center for American Progress Action Fund, this week published an article entitled “Connecting the Dots from News Corp Scandal to the Lies of Fox News and the Wall Street Journal.” Think Progress also published the piece.
“There is a cancer on the U.S. media,” began the article. “That cancer is the disinformation machine aimed at spreading and endlessly repeating the most absurd falsehoods on a host of vital issues to the health and well being of Americans.”
Another outfit that traces to Soros money calls itself iNews. It is a project of the Soros-financed Center for Public Integrity.
In 2009, Soros’ Open Society Institute gave a $100,000 donation earmarked for iNews, which purports to be a “collaborative network of newly established and veteran nonprofit investigative journalism organizations.”
Since the News Corp. scandal broke in the U.K. earlier this month, iNews has released a series of articles heavily critical of News Corp. Many of the pieces were republished by the Huffington Post, which is now owned by AOL. Huffington Post articles are routinely featured on AOL.
Another Soros’ funded group, New American Media, has released a series of pieces focusing on News Corp., one questioning why Fox News Channel allegedly has provided scant coverage of the phone hacking scandal and another entitled “The End of Murdoch? Another Despot Teeters on the Brink.”
Perhaps at the center of the drive against News Corp. sits the Soros-funded Media Matters for America.
When Soros donated $1 million to Media Matters last October, he specifically cited the group’s work against Fox News as the driving force for his financial contribution.
“I am supporting Media Matters in an effort to more widely publicize the challenge Fox News poses to civil and informed discourse in our democracy,” Soros said a statement at the time.
Media Matters in May announced the roll out of a new site, News Corp Watch, dedicated to activism targeting Murdoch’s empire.
Media Matters launched the new site with a full-page advertisement in the International Herald Tribune that highlighted the News of the World phone-hacking scandal as raising concerns about the company’s attempt at taking over the United Kingdom’s pay-TV broadcaster BSkyB.
Ben Smith at POLITICO reported how News Corp Watch calls itself a “vital resource for investors and others interested in the company’s activities.”
Media Matters and its new anti-Murdoch site have given nearly nonstop coverage to the News of the World scandal.
A spokeswoman for Media Matters told Variety.com earlier this week the average weekly web traffic to its News Corp. Watch site has increased tenfold since the hacking story broke.
Roger Aronoff, senior analyst of Accuracy in Media, was quoted by Variety as stating, “The left smells blood, and would love to see Fox News in particular somehow implicated and weakened by this scandal.”
Meanwhile, a sampling of other Soros-funded groups focusing on News Corp. include Free Press and the Center for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
Fox News, Tea Party 'dictatorial'
Soros himself once was invested in News Corp. His Soros Fund Management LLC, managed News Corp. shares worth $4 million in 2004 and $2.3 million when sold in 2009.
Still, Soros has been a vocal opponent of the Fox News Channel. In a conversation with CNN newsman Fareed Zakaria reported by the Huffington Post last December, Soros warned the combination of Fox News, its then-host Glenn Beck and the tea party might lead “this open society to be on the verge of some dictatorial democracy.”
According to the report, “Soros was especially bitter and harshly critical of the role played in our political discourse by the Fox News Channel, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., as a very dangerous precedent for the ‘open society’ that has prevailed in the U.S. for 200 years.”

I. Liberals Salivate: ‘Could This Be the End of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News?’!
Posted on CNSNews.com-By Susan Jones-On July 22, 2011:
“(CNSNews.com) – The liberal activist group MoveOn.org says it is launching a campaign “to build unavoidable public pressure for full investigations” into Rupert Murdoch’s U.S. news outlets – including Fox News, a favorite target of liberals.
“Could this be the end of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News?” the group asked in a July 21 email message to supporters.
According to MoveOn.org, “the key is to find out how far Fox and rest of Murdoch’s news outlets went here in the U.S. If they’ve been as corrupt and criminal here as it looks like they’ve been in the U.K., then we might just see Murdoch’s media empire crumble.”
Murdoch and his media empire have come under fire in Britain, following reports that employees at Murdoch’s News Corporation hacked into the phone of a 13-year-old murder victim and bribed police and government officials for information leading to tabloid scoops.
Last week, at the urging of Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and other lawmakers, the FBI began a preliminary inquiry into a report that News Corp. employees tried to hack into phones belonging to victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
MoveOn.org says it will run a “hard-hitting new ad” that asks if Murdoch is “running a company or a crime syndicate.” It is asking supporters to “chip in $5 to hold Murdoch accountable.”
“Rupert Murdoch has a huge amount of influence in this country. He owns some of the most influential news outlets in America including not only Fox News but The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, and dozens more,” the email said.
“But his influence shouldn’t mean that his companies can get away with crimes. In the U.K. we’ve seen what a tough investigation spurred by public outrage and pressure can do to expose the truth.
“We deserve the same here in the U.S. We deserve to know whether Fox News or other Murdoch outlets have violated our laws.”
Fox News, with its “fair and balanced” slogan, is pegged as a conservative news outlet because it presents viewpoints overlooked or excluded by the liberal media and it employs conservative (as well as liberal) hosts and pundits.
An Obama White House staffer in 2009 described Fox News as “either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party.” At that same time, the Obama White House tried to freeze Fox News out of an interview it granted to the other networks.
A liberal media watchdog group recently launched an all-out attack on Fox, hoping to get advertisers to stop running ads on the network. And liberal U.S. newspapers and television networks have given front-page/top story coverage to Murdoch and the British phone hacking scandal.
Murdoch told British lawmakers this week he was “shocked, appalled and ashamed” to learn that his now-defunct News of the World tabloid had hacked the cell phone of a murdered schoolgirl.
He blamed “the people I trusted, but they blame maybe the people that they trusted.”

The Socialists/Communists never stop trying to take us all to the Sheering Shed. They want to lower the morals of this nation so that they can gain control and turn us into a nation of sheep. They work right along with the morally challenged on Wall Street and Washington, in direct contradiction to their socialist ideas, so that they can turn this country into a nation of sheep who will go along to get along. They bailed out the big banks, big institutions, and foreign governments but will not bail out the American Homeowner who has lost at least half of their hard earned wealth. Their motto is to heck with the Public. If the Public gets demoralized enough they have a better chance of fully implementing socialism. What those guys on Wall Street don't understand as yet is that they were being used or should I say they were using each other. If the socialists get full control of the government and the John Q. Public throws in the towel it will be doomsday for Wall Street and American Corporations. The Federal Reserve in cooperation with the present and past Congresses have continuously bailed out the Big Money Guys and the Big Corporations. This is an historical fact. So why can't they bail our impoverished home owners? The Socialists, who claim to be the friend of the working class are lieing through their teeth. Once they get control they will impoverish all, i.e., the working stiffs and the working union members not to mention those in the upper economic brackets. We are all being taken for a ride to doomsday. The tricksters are trying once again to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. Every single bailout in the past has been accomplished by scaring the heck out of everyone but the bottom line is that the taxpayer was fleeced. The taxpayers work hard to support their own fleecing to the benefit of the Big Money Boys and the Socialists are cheering the process right along knowing or rather believing that they will end up in the cat bird seat once the fleecing has attained its end, i.e., the destruction of America, the destruction of the Capitalist System which has given this nation a terrific standard of living and the destruction of the Public's will to pick themselves up, dust themselves off and keep on trucking. Their hope and their goal is to achieve the surrender of the Public to Socialism and they could care less with whom they have to cooperate with in order to achieve that goal. Capitalism for its part has allowed dishonest, morally challenged and corrupt people to steer itself to its ultimate demise. And they don't care if they and the entire nation is headed down the tubes as long as they can get very, very wealthy along the way. The Public Be Damned! Ultimately, this disgusting, corrupt and anti-God behavior can only be solved and resolved by the Public. When the Public awakens from their long sleep of 100 years and demands that their best interests be attended to since they are the hard working taxpayers who make the real sacrifices that make this nation prosperous, then will most of our debt problems, poverty problems, moral problems and a litany of injustices imposed and burdened on the backs of the Public be resolved. When will this happen? It will happen when the Public kneels before our Merciful and Generous Creator and asks for forgiveness and enlightenment in the same order as Soloman did when he prayed for understanding and wisdom. The more we ignore God, our glorious and wonderful Creator, the more we will be sheered by Wall Street, the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve. If we were smart we would adore, honor and praise our God who created us and loves us to no end. He is always waiting to hear from us if we would be smart and wise enough to knock on His Door in a spirit of humility and obedience.
WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
