Republicans Seek Another Huge Shellacking
(For Obama’s Nonsensical “Jobs” Bill)
In the Democrat-Controlled Senate
Has the world turned upside down? You be the judge.
Item #1: As promised the House Republicans are taking pieces of the Obama American Jobs Act bill they believe in and designing their own bill with the best parts of Obama’s bill IN and the destructive parts of Obama’s bill for the economy LEFT OUT.
Item: #2: The last time (before his Jobs Bill was proposed in September that instead of merely haranguing Congress and the nation without substance) President Barack Obama actually put something in writing for the Congress to examine was in February this year. That “something” was a bogus budget drawn up to oppose the real and thoughtful pro-active budget from House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin). Ryan’s plan , the “Roadmap for America’s Future” was the first effort made in our history to deal not only with deficits and hyper-spending but also with the nation’s $116 TRillion UNfunded liabilities (Social Security, Medicare and the federal side of Medicaid) crisis. After submitting his own atrocious budget, Obama called for an immediate vote . . . His Senate Majority Leader, Democrat Harry Reid warned that would be a bad idea and put off that vote until the President clamored “Now!” three months later. Reid would have preferred not to vote but had to. The result was a 0-97 defeat in the Democrat-controlled Senate . . . perhaps the worst rebuff from Congress that any president has ever received . . . a historical drubbing of monumental proportions.
Item #3: Now Obama’s at it again with his so-called American Jobs Act which is really just a huge pretense at cutting spending which actually raises taxes on middle-class Americans dramatically. Sounds like just the thing for the Democratically-controlled Senate to vote on, right? Not so quick!
Item #4: Majority leader Harry Reid knowing that any tax increases during the current economic malaise will not be popular with voters, especially all those independent voters that Obama and all members of Congress (House and Senate) will need on their side come the 2012 elections. Reid has tried to tell the President again NOT to plow ahead. Obama today says “Go!” however and now Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has called for a vote in the Senate. Reid is, of course, still opposed and today Reid blocked the procedural vote from further consideration. We believe that Republican Mc Connell will continue to call for the vote.
Item#5: Even IF Mc Connell had his way today, the procedural vote required to get Obama’s bill voted on appears 100% likely to be blocked by the Democrats with the prospect that somehow, some way IF the matter ever did come up for a vote on its merits, this bill too would face an ignominious defeat.
Item #6: To avoid that likely debacle, Reid and the Dems will block the matter from further consideration they would vote as a unit on the procedural matter against the president’s Jobs Bill while the Republicans are voting as a bloc FOR Obama’s bill to be voted on. That’s how bad the president’s bill is . . . about 85% of Democrats don’t like it at all and almost no Democrat, even those who do like it, wants to vote for higher taxes now.
Item #7: The Democrats, we’re told from polls, are deeply split over the president’s jobs bill. The latest attempt to find consensus among the Dems is to make two major changes to the president’s bill A) instead of raising taxes on households earning $200,000 or more beginning in 2013, the Senate Dems are talking about a 5% surcharge on millionaires and up beginning three months from now in January, 2012. Harry Reid surprisingly did NOT downplay the split among his Dems in the Senate describing it this way for the press, “If some of our members wanted permission to go to the bathroom, there’s a good chance that many others would shout ‘NO!’”
Again that’s how bad the president’s bill is . . . about 85% of Democrats don’t like it at all and almost no Democrat, even those who do like it, wants to vote for higher taxes now. The Republicans hate the bill and want to show it up with something akin to the 0-97 shellacking that the Senate gave Obama’s ridiculous budget when they finally voted on that bill itself in May of this year three full months after it was submitted by the President. This is the leader of the Free World our campaigner-in-chief who has NOT the slightest clue about how to govern.
How does one govern? By getting the most you can with what you’ve got. Instead of ramming Obamacare through in a hateful manner, imagine if you will that despite controlling the House and Senate in 2009 when he came into office that: President Obama had called on the Republicans to help craft a healthcare bill with his Congressional majorities . . . . Not only would there have been no need for the unconstitutional procedural tricks that Nancy Pelosi pulled on the nation (“We’ll have to pass it so you can see what’s in it.”) or the lie personally signed by Obama for Bart Stupak saying NO abortions would be funded by Obamacare (incredibly, the first three official Obamacare procedures done were abortions). The result would not have been an acrimonious battle for 15 months and would not have been the 2,700-page monstrosity that’s likely to be ruled unconstitutional and which is already bankrupting the nation just in its earliest stages of implementation.
The result probably would have been a 425-10 vote in the House and a 98-2 vote in the senate for a smart 100-page bill that would have actually worked (malpractice tort reform; insurance across state lines; taking care of fraud in Medicare and streamlining Medicaid) to get more people healthcare and to cut overall healthcare costs. That’s what governing is all about . . . getting a near-unanimous consensus and real results that help with almost zero-downside. President Obama is not capable of such a feat, alas. Two vital questions must be answered in 2012:
A. Are you better off than you were four years ago?
B. Are you better off than you were $4+ TRillion ago?

I. CBS Reporter: White House Official ‘Screamed’ & ‘Cussed’ At Me For Coverage Of ‘Fast And Furious’!
What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on The Blaze-By Jonathon M. Seidl-On October 4, 2011:
“CBS reporter Sharyl Attkisson has been doggedly covering the ATF and DOJ scandal surrounding the gunwalking “Fast and Furious” case. And now she’s coming out with some juicy details about her attempts to get information from the DOJ and the White House regarding the case.
On Laura Ingraham’s radio show Tuesday, Attkisson said she was “screamed” and “cussed” at by the White House while trying to get information last Friday, and that a DOJ spokesperson “yelled” at her while she was trying to get clarification on the case. And she named names.
Ingraham: So they were literally screaming at you?
Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me.
Ingraham: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?
Attkisson: Eric Schultz Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House.
Why such the reaction from the spokespeople?
“They will tell you that I’m the only reporter–as they told me–that is not reasonable,” she told Ingraham. “They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.”
You can listen to her tell the story below (the revelation initially comes at the beginning and then picks up again at the 6:00 mark):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS1t87pRix0&feature=player_embedded
This all comes House RepublicanS are calling for a special investigation of Attorney General Eric Holder over his handling of the scandal and after it was revealed this week that Holder was sent briefings on the program as early as June 2010. That contradicts his statement under oath in May 2011 that he first heard about the operation “over the last few weeks.” Holder’s camp has tried to explain the contradiction by saying he was referring to the details of the case and not the case itself.
Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) addressed the issue on Fox today and said he personally handed a letter to Holder on the issue in January of this year, which would also seem to contradict Holder’s defense:

I. Obama Proudly Declares Class War: ‘But the rich are already getting soaked!’
Posted on National Review Online-By DEROY MURDOCK-On October 3, 2011:
“It’s official: America is at class war, and Pres. Barack Obama proudly leads the charge against this country’s wealthy.
“If asking a millionaire to pay the same tax rate as a plumber makes me a class warrior — a warrior for the working class — I will accept that,” Obama shouted Tuesday at Denver’s Abraham Lincoln High School. “I will wear that charge as a badge of honor.”
“Middle-class families shouldn’t pay higher tax rates than millionaires and billionaires,” Obama said. “A teacher or a nurse or a construction worker making $50,000 a year shouldn’t pay higher tax rates than somebody making $50 million.”
These may be the harshest such comments that Obama has made, but they certainly are not the first.
- “The debt ceiling should not be something that is used as a gun against the heads of the American people to extract tax breaks for corporate-jet owners,” Obama said on July 6.
- “We can’t just tell the wealthiest among us, ‘You don’t have to do a thing. You just sit there and relax, and everybody else, we’re gonna solve this [deficit] problem,’” Obama remarked on April 14.
- Most revealingly, Obama confessed on April 28, 2010: “I do think at a certain point, you’ve made enough money.”
Obama’s assault on the affluent rests upon a sky-high stack of lies. Obama is too well-staffed and too well-informed not to know otherwise. So, maddeningly, he straight-out lies to the American people.
For days before Obama opened his mouth in Denver, multiple news accounts and opinion pieces annihilated thecasus belli of his War on the Wealthy. Nonetheless, Obama keeps spouting falsehoods, perhaps hoping that his smooth voice will hypnotize Americans into believing his words.
“Fact check: The wealthy already pay more taxes,” read the headline above a September 20 Associated Press dispatch. “President Obama says he wants to make sure millionaires are taxed at higher rates than their secretaries,” Stephen Ohlemacher wrote. “The data say they already are.”
Nationwide, Ohlemacher and others dismantled Obama’s soak-the-rich thesis. The rich are soaked today!
In 2008, its latest data indicate, the Internal Revenue Service harvested $1.0315 trillion in income tax — of which the bottom 50 percent of earners collectively paid just $27.9 billion. The top 1 percent paid $392.15 billion; the top 5 percent paid $605.7 billion; and the top 10 percent paid $721.4 billion. Thus, the top 1 percent of taxpayers furnished14 times the income taxes that the bottom 50 percent supplied.
In 2009, the IRS reports, those who earned between $20,000 and $30,000 paid an average of 2.5 percent of adjusted gross income in federal income taxes. Those who earned between $50,000 and $60,000 paid 6.3 percent; between $100,000 and $125,000, 9.9 percent; between $200,000 and $300,000, 17.5 percent. Those who made at least $1 million saw income taxes devour 24.4 percent of AGI.
{…}
Income, schmincome, leftists chirp. What about the payroll taxes that lower-income Americans pay? Counting other taxes still shows that higher earners pay more — Obama’s dark fantasies notwithstanding.
The Tax Policy Center — a joint venture of two liberal bastions, the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution — reported on August 24 that Americans who earn between $20,000 and $30,000 will pay an average of 5.7 percent of their 2011 earnings in federal income, payroll, corporate, and death taxes. Those clearing between $40,000 and $50,000 will pay 12.5 percent, while those from $50,000 to $75,000 will average 15 percent. For earners of $1 million or more, those federal taxes will extract 29.1 percent.
{…}
Dry? Yes. But these figures demonstrate that Americans who earn more money pay more federal tax. Those who earn less pay less. If Obama finds this unfair, he should define fairness.
True, the IRS notes, 1,470 households earned at least $1 million but paid no federal income tax in 2009. Still, this is just 0.62 percent of the 236,883 returns that millionaires filed. This reinforces the bipartisan idea of closing loopholes and lowering tax rates — but not Obama’s crusade against “millionaires and billionaires” and his American Jobs Act’s tax hikes on people earning as little as $200,000.
All of this has started to irritate even some of Obama’s supporters.
“With my investments and board seats and companies that I own, I am at a leadership position in concerns that employ more than 200,000 people,” Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Wizards basketball team, wrote on September 25. “We do our best to be good corporate citizens. I know in the companies that I own personally, or am the largest shareholder, we support more than 500 charities.”
“I voted for our President,” continued Leonsis, who also owns the Washington Capitals hockey team. “I have maxed out on personal donations to his re-election campaign. I forgot his campaign wants to raise $1 billion. THAT is a lot of money–money–money–money! Money still talks. It blows my mind when I am asked for money as a donation at the same time I am getting blasted as being a bad guy!”
“Someone needs to talk our President down off of this rhetoric about good vs. evil; about two classes and math,” Leonsis concluded. “Many of us want to be a part of the solution. We aren’t the problem.”
When Obama accepted the 2008 Democratic nomination in Denver, he espoused national unity. The U.S.A. would “come together as one American family,” he declared. If Barack Obama secured the presidency, he suggested, the nearby Continental Divide would become this republic’s only rift.
How disappointing that the eloquent man who millions hoped would heal this land now actively pits Americans against each other — not by race or creed, but by income. As London’s arson-scorched victims of mob rule learned last August, there is nothing cute about class war.”

This administration continues to have us believe that it was the Bush Administration that created our financial economic crisis, but was it or was it "banking terrorist" tactics that were applied by ACORN’s members who were trained by our President to use Alinky’s Rules to bully banks into making bad loans using the tools provided them under the federal Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), which likely contributed to the "mortgage meltdown" that ultimately triggered the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and ultimately propelled him into office-You Decide:

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on Big Journalism-By Liberty Chick-On October 3, 2011:
“When news broke of alleged voter intimidation involving the New Black Panthers Party in the 2008 election, Media Matters for America (MMfA) launched a relentless push back against the charges, resulting in almost 8,000 MMfA site specific Google hits in which MMfA attacked virtually anyone who attempted to report on the controversy, while elevating any reporting that minimized it, or the Department of Justice’s decision to drop the case.
Meanwhile, a former MMfA Director of External Affairs, Xochitl Hinojosa, who had actually joined the Department of Justice in July of 2009 as a Public Affairs Specialist, took an active role in pushing back against the story from witin DOJ.
Apparently, the Justice Department is going by George Orwell’s famous Animal Farm ending:
“All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.” “We can only take action where we have legal authority,” wrote DOJ spokeswoman Xochitl Hinojosa in a December 2010 e-mail to The Washington Times Water Cooler. She continues: “As stated in the website below, we are statutorily authorized to initiate suits under Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974, and under Title III of the American with Disabilities Act.
It’s not unusual for D.C. professionals to move in and out of government positions. Yet given MMfA’s acute focus on the Panthers/DOJ story, Hinojosa’s involvement with and ties to MMfA invite speculation as to what extent MMfA and DOJ might have cooperated in pushing back against a potentially explosive story for the Obama administration.
Indeed, today, MMfA is already attacking J. Christian Adams and his forthcoming book on Obama’s beleaguered Department of Justice, which has shown itself, in the Panthers case and in others, as one of the most politicized DOJ’s in modern history. (For more on new evidence linking Obama directly to the New Black Panthers, see this exclusive at Big Government today: Shock Photos: Candidate Obama Appeared And Marched With New Black Panther Party in 2007.)
Hinojosa has at times been quoted by Media Matters on a variety of stories that pertain to the DOJ. Yet the organization does not mention that she used to work for it, nor is that information available on MMfA’s current website. This 2009 cached snapshot of the Media Matters website confirms her tenure there:
{…}
Hinojosa is also the daughter of Gilberto Hinojosa, a former Cameron County, Texas judge and current Cameron County Democratic chairman. Aside from her time with Media Matters as Director of External Affairs, where her position oversaw outreach to Capitol Hill and to advocacy groups, Hinojosa also worked on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, as well as the Texas gubernatorial campaign of Democrat Chris Bell. She also worked for Texas Democratic state senator Kirk Watson.
As for MMfA, few can deny that Media Matters is a collaborative clearinghouse of information to most of the left-wing media. The coordination of “research” and talking points provided by the organization on the one hand, and left-wing commentary on the other, is deliberate and orchestrated.
We’ve seen it on numerous occasions, such as the SEIU vs. Kenneth Gladney story, or MSNBC’S Martin Bashir’sinterview of Andrew Breitbart, or the multitude of stories that deliberately exclude the redemptive statement from Shirley Sherrod that Breitbart included in his 1400-word post.
There wouldn’t be so much wrong with that collaboration if MMfA’s “research” weren’t so deliberately deceptive.
The Panthers scandal began when explosive video surfaced from the 2008 elections of several members of the organization, including then-National Field Director King Samir Shabaz, stationed outside a polling place in Philadelphia with nightsticks. That was followed by even more disturbing video of the Houston New Black Panther Party protesting with machine guns, as well as King Samir Shabaz calling for the “killing of crackers and their babies.” The controversy prompted public outrage and demands for the DOJ to investigate what clearly appeared to be voter intimidation.
At the time, Media Matters ran numerous pieces on the scandal – not denouncing the threats of violence, but rather attacking those exposing the threats and criticizing the DOJ for not investigating them. In fact, even as emails obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests revealed major contradictions with the sworn testimony of high ranking officials inside the DoJ, Media Matters continued to run interference, putting out distraction after distraction. Any mention of the Panthers even today prompts a barrage of disruptive pieces from MMfA aimed at the messenger and not at the criminal past of some of the individuals involved.
Meanwhile, there seems never to have been any acknowledgment by MMfA that the spokesperson sent to defend the actions of the DOJ and its ultimate decision not to pursue the Panthers case was once employed by Media Matters itself. That certainly raises questions about whether the Obama administration and its tax-exempt thought police have colluded directly in suppressing the truth about the New Black Panther Party.”

Who Is the New Black Panther Party? What Media Matters and the Obama DOJ Don’t Want You to Know!
Posted on Big Journalism-By Lee Stranahan-On October 3, 2011:
“Today, Media Matters for America has taken it upon itself to ask the question: “Who Is J. Christian Adams?” .
They say:
New Black Panthers Party fabulist J. Christian Adams is a long-time right-wing activist who began working for the U.S. Department of Justice during its notorious era of politicized hiring and now blogs for the right-wing media site Pajamas Media, often issuing false attacks on the Obama DOJ for its supposed politicization and “racial agenda.” His forthcoming book, Injustice: Exposing The Racial Agenda Of The Obama Justice Department, promises to cover similar territory.
In its attacks on Adams, Media Matters has even stooped to posting his home address and alleging that he is a Republican donor–without mentioning that he has also contributed to Democrats.
Media Matters also tries to dismiss Andrew Breitbart’s report this morning that Barack Obama spoke and marched with the New Black Panther Party while he was campaigning for president. They note that “several thousand people ‘appeared and marched’ with the New Black Panthers that day”–a point that Breitbart’s post itself made clear.
What Media Matters doesn’t want to tell you is what Adams’s book reveals: that the New Black Panthers were there to support Obama, and said so earlier that day while Obama listened and smiled; that the Panthers shadowed him, left the march with him, and raised black power salutes over his head; and that Shabazz claimed he spoke with Obama.
If there was a 4th of July event and the Ku Klux Klan were given a speaker’s slot, would any GOP candidate be stupid enough to speak there? Why, then, is it acceptable to Media Matters for Obama and other Democrats to have spoken and marched with the Panthers?
Media Matters refers to the ‘fable’ of the New Black Panther Party, but they don’t tell their readers anything at all about the New Black Panthers. In fact, they don’t seem to be critical of the New Black Panther Party in any way.
So, who is the New Black Panther Party?
I’ll do a short summary with a lot of video because, frankly, a tiny bit of research quickly brings up how awful this group is.
Let’s start with a video of Geraldo Rivera taking on New Black Panther Party leader Malik Zulu Shabazz over his statement after 9/11 that “Brother” Osama bin Laden deserved “respect” and applause:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoCNLPNztM4&feature=player_embedded
That’s the reality of the New Black Panther Party. The fact that MMfA chooses to shield their readers from it in order to attack J. Christian Adams–who opposes this group–is repulsive. Apparently, attacking a conservative trumps telling the truth about a racist, homophonic, antisemitic hate group.
Here are some more facts about the New Black Panther Party.
The New Black Panther Party Uses the Name “New Black Panther Party” Without the Consent of the Original Black Panther Party
The original Black Panthers have strongly disassociated themselves from the “new” version.
In an article called “There Is No New Black Panther Party: An Open Letter From the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation” it says “the people in the New Black Panthers were never members of the Black Panther Party and have no legitimate claim on the Party’s name.” The article also states that the New Black Panther Party “serves to incite hatred rather than resolve it” (my emphasis).
The Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation goes on to ask questions that Media Matters fails to ask:
The question the Foundation raises, then, is who are these people laying claim to the Party’s history and name? Are they reactionary provocateurs, who would instigate activities counterproductive to the people’s interests, causing mayhem and death? Are they entertainers, who would posture themselves before the media, and, according to numerous sources, with empty guns, to spin gold for themselves? Are they, given the history of their late-leader Khalid Muhammad, a group of anti-Semites like the very Ku Klux Klan they allegedly oppose? What is their agenda?
The New Black Panther Party Gained Initial Fame After Khalid Muhammad Became President, Subsequent to Being Forced Out of the Nation of Islam for Outrageous Racist and Antisemitic Speech
Wikipedia’s entry (reliable, in this case) on Khalid Muhammad describes him as
an African American activist who came to prominence as the National Assistant to Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam (NOI). After a 1993 speech at Kean College Khalid was condemned and removed from his position in the Nation of Islam by Louis Farrakhan. He was also censured by the United States House of Representatives.
After being removed from the Nation of Islam, he served as the National Chairman of the New Black Panther Partyuntil his death in 2001. His views were considered controversial among most Americans, but his angry condemnations of white power gained him the support of many black youth.
As reported on NorthJersey.com:
Khalid Abdul Muhammad in a speech to students at Kean College in Union, New Jersey in November of 1993 called Jews, “hook-nosed, bagel-eatin’, lox-eatin’ impostors.” He attacked Catholics: “The old no-good Pope . . . somebody need to raise that dress up and see what’s really under there.” He attacked gays: “God does not name holy books after homosexuals.” And even other blacks, including Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates: “Who let this Negro out of the gate?”
Here’s part of that speech on video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke1putE-LzI&feature=player_embedded
As Head of The New Black Panther Party, Khalid Muhammad Advocated Killing White People, Including Babies, ‘Cripples’ And ‘Faggots’ to Wildly Applauding Audience
Muhammad suggested giving white people an ultimatum to leave South Africa by sundown or…
We kill the women. We kill the babies, we kill the blind. We kill the cripples. We kill them all. We kill the faggot. We kill the lesbian… When you get through killing them all, go to the goddamn graveyard and dig up the grave and kill them a-goddamn-gain because they didn’t die hard enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca_rQyKx_dg&feature=player_embedded
After Muhammad’s death, Malik Zulu Shabazz became President of the New Black Panther Party, and continued Muhammad’s racist, sexist, homophobic, and antisemitic extremism.
King Samir Shabazz, the New Black Panther Party Member Who Stood Outside Polling Place, Called For “Killing Crackers”
King Samir Shabazz is a minister in the New Black Panther Party, and he really hates white people.
“You want freedom? You gonna have to kill some crackers! You gonna have to kill some of their babies!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBhzJnJIilI&feature=player_embedded
If you watched the Geraldo video at top, you’ll see that Malik Zulu Shabazz has learned to play the game of, ”If I say that something doesn’t really represent the views of the organization, I’ll sound rational and the press will leave me alone.”
However, an examination of the organization’s history reveals that King Samir is actually completely in line with the line of rhetoric originating from Khalid Muhammad.
That’s the truth about the New Black Panther Party, and the reason to be concerned that the Obama administration shut down a Department of Justice investigation into its efforts at voter intimidation.
You’ll never learn that from Media Matters for America. Ever wonder why not?”

Candidate Obama Appeared And Marched With New Black Panther Party in 2007!
Posted on Big Government-By Andrew Breitbart-On October 3, 2011:
“New photographs obtained exclusively by BigGovernment.com reveal that Barack Obama appeared and marched with members of the New Black Panther Party as he campaigned for president in Selma, Alabama in March 2007.
The photographs, captured from a Flickr photo-sharing account before it was scrubbed, are the latest evidence of the mainstream media’s failure to examine Obama’s extremist ties and radical roots.
In addition, the new images raise questions about the possible motives of the Obama administration in its infamous decision to drop the prosecution of the Panthers for voter intimidation.
The images, presented below, also renew doubts about the transparency of the White House’s guest logs–in particular, whether Panther National Chief Malik Zulu Shabazz is the same “Malik Shabazz” listed among the Obama administration’s early visitors.
Tomorrow, J. Christian Adams, the Department of Justice whistleblower in the New Black Panther Party case, will release his new book, Injustice: Exposing the Racial Agenda of the Obama Justice Department (Regnery).
The book exposes Obama administration corruption far beyond the Panther dismissal, and reveals how the institutional Left has turned the power of the DOJ into an ideological weapon.
Adams’s book also describes, in detail, the Selma march at which then-Senator Obama was joined by a group of Panthers who had come to support his candidacy.
Among those appearing with Obama was Shabazz, the Panther leader who was one of the defendants in the voter intimidation case that Attorney General Eric Holder dismissed. Also present was the Panthers’ “Minister of War,” Najee Muhammed, who had called for murdering Dekalb County, Georgia, police officers with AK-47’s and then mocking their widows in this video (7:20 – 8:29).
Injustice includes a disturbing photo of Shabazz and the Panthers marching behind Obama with raised fists in the “Black Power” salute.
There are even more photographs.
I have learned that Regnery initially received approval from a person who took pictures of the events in Selma to publish these additional photographs in Injustice.
After the photographer wrote Regnery reversing his permission to include the photographs in Injustice, the images were removed from the photographer’s Flickr account. Yet we were able to capture them before they disappeared.
The photographs show Obama sharing the same podium at the event with the Panthers.
In the first image, Shabazz stands at the podium, surrounded by uniformed Panthers, including Muhammed. In the second photograph, Obama commands the same podium.
Here are the images:
{…}
The First Amendment allows photographs of such enormous public importance to see the light of day. Cases, including one involving skimpy photographs of Miss Puerto Rico, have established that fair use and the First Amendment allow publication of these photos.
It is true that then-Senator Hillary Clinton and Al Sharpton were also in Selma at the same event. But the Panthers explicitly came to Selma to support Obama, as Adams details in Injustice.
They spoke with Obama at the podium shown above, and departed together with Obama for the main march itself, as shown by this grainer image captured from YouTube:
{…}
Obama seems not to be reviled by the Panthers in any of the video or photographs. And Obama’s own campaign website would post an endorsement by the New Black Panther Party in March 2008. As Adams writes in Injustice:
Somehow, the fact that the future President of the United States shared a podium with leaders of the New Black Panthers, marched with them, and received a public, formal greeting from their party has vanished from the history of Obama’s campaign. Apart from [Juan] Williams’ single dispatch, no other media outlets ever reported it.
After NPR initially reported that the Panthers were present at the event with Obama, subsequent reports from Selma omitted any mention of the hate group appearing with the future President.
Had any of Obama’s opponents appeared at an event with the KKK or Aryan Nation, The New York Times would have had to double its ink buy.
Obama’s appearance does much more than expose mainstream media hypocrisy. It also exposes an association between a vile racist organization and a future President of the United States. Only the degree of association is subject to debate.
And only a few voices outside the mainstream media have continued to press the Obama administration about its past and present ties to fringe groups.
I have been calling for the White House to disclose which Malik Shabazz visited the private White House residence on July 25, 2009, two months after the DOJ voter intimidation case was dismissed. So far, the White House has refused to do so, leaving open the question of which “Malik Shabazz” appears in visitor logs released to the public.
To reiterate: nobody, including Adams, is suggesting that Obama is a secret member of the New Black Panther Party. At a minimum, however, the events in Selma expose the media double standard that has buried this story until this week.
The mainstream media should ask Obama a few questions before they rush to his defense:
What did he and Malik Zulu Shabazz say when they conversed that day–something that Shabazz has said happened?
Did the Obama campaign play any role in having the Panthers travel to support his presidential ambitions?
Who posted the Panthers’ endorsement on the Obama campaign’s website, and at whose instructions?
Who–finally–was the Malik Shabazz who visited the White House residence on July 25, 2009?”

The main street media does not even need to know, but they will sooner or later.
God made us the richest nation in the history of the world by providing us with the resources and the knowledge to use them. The financial disgrace of our nation occurred because of a lack of moral dependence on Him for guidance in the decisions made by individuals and a lack of checks and balances over businesses and government officials. Digital money and fictitious legal entities allowed for uncontrolled speculation without accountability.
We are near the end of the experiment of the Republic form of limited government envisioned by the founders of the United States of America.
Our Government is now the largest employer in the world. It tells more people what to do and when to do it than any dictator in history. Government spending in the private sector to create jobs is never effective, digging holes and refilling them with dirt only results in high paid ditch diggers. It adds nothing to the economy; this "redistribution of wealth" in the public good is nothing other than political corruption, the purchasing of votes for political gain and power. What next? Internal social unrest or international pressure, they have already started this phase in the last few days?
Imagine what happens when the US dollar is no longer the world's business currency! What happens when countries refuse to buy our bonds?
We have stood idly by for 40 years allowing the problem to grow worse. As a nation we should feel the urgency of the financial problem, it could wipe out life as we know it in the USA in a matter of days.
What is lacking is the competence of those politically responsible to make the hard decision and take action.
Almighty God, help us not to look at the immensity of the task before us, but help us to look at the immensity of our all-powerful God. With humankind many things are impossible but with You, our Father, nothing is impossible. We want to trust You for supernatural workings in our lives and in the duties before us. As we go about our daily activities help us to see the answer to the question “who is your neighbor?” Help us to understand why it is important to come together as a nation not of individual free men without a purpose beyond our own desires but as people focused on the need to create a unified nation of individuals with strong Christian morals based on the 10 Commandments.
Lord we live in an open society, which can't be ruled but can be broken. The details of our decisions, our determination and how we function is available for the world to see. Our enemies seek to drive a wedge in, get their fingers on it -- and control us for their benefit. They won't need a whip – the yoke of oil and our own need for pleasure will do their work for them. They use the strength of our system of government against us. Our whole country is for sale and, thanks to our addictions to trinkets and oil; we gladly hand over the dollars to buy it from beneath us.

“Mexican attorney general, Marisela Morales, now estimates at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons -- among them, a powerful Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle that downed a Mexican federale helicopter. Morales calls OFF a ‘betrayal’ of her country. In a Los Angeles Times story she said she first learned about Op Fast and Furious from news reports. American officials never briefed their Mexican counterparts on it, Morales says. Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger, Marisela, Eric Holder and the Obama administration has been quite calculating on stonewalling the world on this one.”
AG Eric Holder Caught in OFF Lie
By Earlier-Dated Memos
It’s an oft repeated truism of political life that the “crime” might get you; but it’s the cover-up that always nails the lid on the case . . . so let it be for scurrilous Obama administration bad-boy U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. Here’s just one more story that the mainstream media (MSM) has been hiding from you for months now as Eric Holder has been playing a rearguard, stonewalling hand for three months now . . . the facts keep slowly dribbling in to Darrell Issa . . . just last week a third gun from “Bordergate” was implicated and has now been linked to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, whose death in Arizona last December at the hands of Mexican bandits created the crack now threatening to break the scandal wide open and destroy the career of Eric Holder and his so-far “mum” underlings.
Holder -- who’s denial of knowledge about Operation Fast and Furious (OFF) in July of this year (OFF is the rogue and ill-conceived Obama administration offshoot of the Bush Administration’s less well-known Operation Gunrunner), is plastered on internet videos all over the world – the AG received at least two e-mails updating OFF information nine months prior to stating that he’d only recently learned of OFF in October, 2010 and even before that in July, 2010 and . . . worse luck for the AG, both memos indicate prior knowledge can be assumed since they are operational updates not presentation memos.
The denials by Holder and the recent revelations, of course, spurred California Representative Darrell Issa to ask for a special (outside, non-DOJ) prosecutor to look into OFF and the involvement of Holder’s Justice Department. The festering mess known as “Bordergate” in some circles took an ongoing and successful Bush sting program to capture illegal gun sales and went two giant steps too far by deliberately seeking to sell automatic weapons (34,000+ so far) to members of Mexican drug cartels and then, instead of making an arrest . . . just allowed the guns to cross the border. So far about a hundred of those guns have turned up at crime scenes including the death of two U.S. Border Control agents and several dozen Mexican citizens. Tidbits of information suggest great involvement by the Homeland Security Office and by the Whitehouse itself.
It seems also that Holder’s DOJ manipulated knowledge so that FBI information about the identities of the gun buyers was kept away from Department of Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives and Tobacco members who had been running Bush’s Operation Gunrunner for several years. Many ATF agents who have become “whistle-blowers” tell stories of their great upset when they found that guns sold to known Mexican criminals were being deliberately allowed to cross the border. Several ATF agents and administrators have already lost their jobs as Holder’s DOJ casts about wildly for scapegoats. Mexican officials meanwhile have been conducting their own investigations of American gun-supplying to drug cartels.
To say that the stench in Washington is getting stronger is to repeat the obvious. Besides OFF; Issa’s Oversight and Government Reform committee is also investigating the Solyndra and Light-Squared scandals . . . but it’s hard to imagine that either of those corruptions will catch up to OFF’s reeking stupidity and malfeasance. The insanely idiotic idea was to trace cross-border arms trafficking, and allow the gun-hating Obama administration to then prove the oft-repeated claim that 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexican drug war zones originate in the US. Well, their efforts DISproved it; the actual statistic is closer to 17 percent. But, as Issa’s committee continues its investigation a major international scandal has been born.
Mexican attorney general, Marisela Morales, now estimates at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with Fast and Furious weapons -- among them, a powerful Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle that downed a Mexican federal helicopter. Morales calls OFF a “betrayal” of her country. In a Los Angeles Times story she said she first learned about Fast and Furious from news reports. American officials never briefed their Mexican counterparts on it, Morales says.
Don’t feel like the Lone Ranger, Marisela, the Obama administration has been quite calculating on stonewalling the world on this one. Eric Holder’s DOJ has inflamed Issa’s committee -- turning over subpoenaed documents only ultra-slowly and heavily redacted (sometimes only words like “the,” “a,” “and,” “an,” and “that” NOT being blacked out in long memos turned over to Issa) and also making witnesses unavailable and transferring or retiring implicated officials such as former “temporary” ATF head Kenneth Melson. Issa has publicly accused Holder , et. al of “gaming” congressional investigators. “There is an ongoing cover-up of a pattern of wrongdoing,” Issa noted last week. “Even though I have subpoena ability, I don’t have the ability to lock people up for contempt until they fess up and give us what we want” hence the call for a special prosecutor.
As noted in a blog two weeks ago, there have now been 76 serious Obama administration scandals about which Rajjpuut has informed his readers . . . and now the MSM is finally covering three of them. The only other one of those 76 scandals touched lightly upon by the MSM so far in the first two and a half years under Obama was their pseudo-journalistic expose of problems associated with environmentalism related to the Gulf Oil Spill (they deliberately missed the whole scandalous part of the story that Obama himself and Interior Secretary Salazar both knew of critical problems with Deep Horizon up to two weeks before the explosion). Now the MSM is really looking hard at Solyndra and Light-Squared and trying NOT to get involved with OFF, but slowly, slowly they’re finding themselves dragged into Bordergate as the evidence mounts and the circle of corruption** expands.
Solyndra, of course, is a story of monumental incompetence and crony-capitalism that’s already cost the taxpayers $535 million. Malfeasance is still a very strong possibility as the Obama administration agreed to a deal in which last-minute Solyndra investors would be paid first in case of bankruptcy, before the taxpayers. The Light-Squared scandal involves the Obama administration seeking to pressure and change a Four-Star Air Force General’s testimony about the dangers of a communication invention sold by an Obama supporter’s broad-band company which mal-affects other battlefield communications and global positioning and thus would have made in-close bombings and artillery very risky for our soldiers in the field. Yes, the “hits” do keep coming . . . and finally the MSM is starting to play them.
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
Rajjpuut
** We feel like a broken record here, but about a dozen FAR more serious scandals from 2009, 2010 and earlier this year have all gone totally UNreported by ABC, NBC, CBS, and Cable channels CNN, MSNBC and Headline News. Only FOXNews is looking into Obama’s corruptions. Whole books someday will be dedicated to the “Journ-O-List" scandal; the Carbon-Trading Scandal known as CCX which even FOXNews barely covered; and whole encyclopedias can be filled up with the “Cloward-Piven to Wiley to ’73 Crash to NYC bankruptcy to Rathke to CRA ’77 to ACORN to Clinton to Obama to meltdown” scandal . . . . Rajjpuut (who was once a pretty fair country feature writer and also his J-school’s Academic Excellence Award winner lo’ these many years) blames 97% of the country’s present horrific state and ongoing predictable future financial problems on the MSM which is picking winners and losers in politics and refusing to do its time-honored job in keeping the country aware of government corruption, incompetence and malfeasance.
As discussed tonight on Tea Party Radio, as well as numerous times before, Agenda 21 is an evil, all-encompassing plot to reduce humanity to a simple common denominator of absolute misery, starvation and death under the watchful eye of a small, powerful elite (sounds familiar, doesn't it?) Only an institution as debauched and cunning as the United Nations could come up with something like this...and a current United States "President" whose idea of American exceptionalism is about the same as Hugo Chavez's. The following article by Henry Lamb is a little old, from April, but worth reading again if you have already, and essential if you have not:

Will President Obama and his puppet master get there wish?
Posted on NewsMax.com-By David A. Patten-On October 1, 2011:
“FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey warns that President Barack Obama’s policies are so misguided that they could trigger civil unrest if continued for a second term.
In an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview to discuss FreedomWorks’ new super PAC, Armey cited high unemployment, the sharp spike in the number of Americans living in poverty, and dysfunctional tax policies as legacies of an administration he described as “hopelessly lost.”
Indeed, the economic contagion shows every sign on spreading. Global stocks closed their worst quarter in nearly three years on Friday on nagging concerns about the world economy and the lack of a credible solution to Europe’s debt crisis.
The euro and most commodity prices also fell as investors’ search for safety drove up U.S. government bonds and the dollar.
Adding to a string of global data that has crushed growth-related assets in the past three months, China’s manufacturing sector contracted for a third straight month in September while German retail sales slid at their sharpest pace in more than four years.
Asked whether he is concerned the president’s stewardship over the nation could foment the sort of civil unrest seen elsewhere in the world, the former House majority leader replied: “I think it could. First of all, we have to accept President Obama is just a hopelessly lost, romantic egalitarian.
“If you read his own books . . . his whole accounting of how he went to Harvard and looked up all the Marxist professors. I guarantee you, if you got all your knowledge from Marxist professors, you got everything wrong.”
{…}
Armey’s broadside reflects a political milieu that has grown increasingly toxic since Obama alleged on Monday that House Speaker John Boehner harbors a “my-way-or-the-highway” attitude on taxes.
“This is not class warfare,” Obama said of his proposal to increase taxes on wealthier Americans despite the economic downturn. “It’s math.”
Armey said he has never seen a U.S. leader “so wholly misguided about the nature and character of the way the world works and the history of America in the history of the world, as this president: He just doesn’t know who we are.”
As part of its strategy to empower grass-roots conservatives, FreedomWorks is unveiling a super PAC that will raise and distribute funds to affect political outcomes for both Republicans and Democrats.
“That’s what makes our super PAC so different from others,” said Armey, who was interviewed along with FreedomWorks CEO Matt Kibbe. “Because we want to provide the services and the intelligence that this vast network of people needs to have an impact. And if we give them those tools, I think that we can outgun the deepest pockets in politics.”
Other highlights from the exclusive Newsmax.TV interview with the grass-roots leaders:
FreedomWorks intends to keep up the primary pressure on middle-of-the-road Republicans. “We have to beat the Republicans before we can beat the Democrats,” Kibbe said. “And we’re non-partisan in our insistence that all politicians stand on principle, and vote the way they promised to vote.”
The rise of its “Kosher Tea” organization, which contributed to Republican Bob Turner’s remarkable victory in New York Congressional District 9, is persuading Jewish voters to reconsider their traditional allegiance to the Democratic Party.
“The Jewish community was given sort of a shock into an awakening by President Obama,” Armey said, “in what they felt was a betrayal by him. This gives us a chance to have them re-engage in a whole spectrum of political issues.”
FreedomWorks recently surpassed the 1 million fan mark on Facebook. In a testament to the importance of digital media and social networking to the grass-roots conservative movement, Kibbe said: “Facebook is probably the core of every strong tea party group in this country.”
Armey said tea party members are more interested in a candidate’s genuine commitment to principles than in electability. He added they appear to have a growing confidence in Rick Perry. “We like him because he knows what he stands for and he’s willing to make a commitment to that,” Armey told Newsmax. “And we dare to believe that once he gets past the elections and sits in that office, that he’ll live by those commitments to constitutional limitations on big government.”
Grass-roots conservatives continue to applaud Rep. Michele Bachmann as an authentic small-government conservative, but Armey said: “It looks to me like they’ve had bumpy roads and haven’t navigated them very well.” Armey added her campaign encountered “dysfunction at a critical time.”
Armey said the first thing he’d like to see the next president do is to propose a flat tax. “Washington’s full of slow learners,” he said. “They need more tax revenue, [but] you don’t get that from higher taxes. Simplify the [tax] base, make it a truly fair tax, where everybody is treated the same as everybody else, and that unleashes” investment.
Kibbe added that FreedomWorks will continue holding debt commission meetings around the nation to solicit advice from everyday citizens on what should be done to stem the tide of federal red ink. “We don’t think Washington’s up to the task,” he told Newsmax. “So we’re going to do just like we did with the Contract From America. We’re going to bring it from America back to Washington, and Sen. [Mike] Lee has agreed to hold a hearing, where legislators actually listen to America about what these ideas should be.”

Posted on 11alive.com-By Paul Crawley-On September 30, 2011:
“ATLANTA - So far, no one has proven it’s a scam, but they haven’t proven it’s for real either.
This week more than 700 senior citizens filled out a rather skimpy form promising a $500 check from the AmericanOpportunities Stimulus Program.
They filled in sensitive information like their name, address, birth date and social security numbers, all with the promise of getting a Visa Check card in return.
But on Thursday, Fulton County government put out a warning that it might be an identity theft scam.
They even sent their own camera crew to the Atlanta headquarters of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, where the forms were being handed out by Vanessa Emerson and her son, Brandon.
In the video Vanessa Emerson can be seen brandishing a photo copy of a U.S. Treasury check saying, “I’m going to show ya’ll, I got my money.”
After the alarm went out, Brandon Emerson returned hundreds of the forms to the NAN headquarters at 632 Peoples Street so they could be given back to the seniors who filled them out.
Even though his mother was wearing a NAN T-shirt in the Fulton County government video, her son claimed they are not affiliated with the organization.
Worried seniors continued to stream to the local NAN headquarters on Friday fearing someone may be trying to steal their identities.
“I am scared and I’m going to the bank now and put a fraudulent lock on my account,” senior Bobbie Early told 11 Alive News on Friday.
Eventually the Southeast Regional Director for NAN showed up at the headquarters and began reassuring seniors no one was going to compromise the information.
Tyleis Speight admitted to 11 Alive News the forms had been collected there, but claimed she was a victim, too.
“National Action Network has been frauded as well,” Speight said.
She said they’re still trying to find out who was responsible.
Reached by phone on Friday, Vanessa Emerson said she and her son had no idea the forms they’d been collecting might be fake.
She said they were going out of town and would comment more when they return next week.
The national NAN office insisted they knew nothing about what had happened.
“We had no knowledge of what was going on,” said NAN Executive Director Tamika Mallory.
“We would never authorize anything like that,” she added.
Mallory said NAN’s attorneys are doing their own investigation.
So are Atlanta Police who say they are still trying to determine what crime, if any, may have been committed.”

Note: The following website(s), report(s), articles and/or blog posts reveal Rev. Alfred Sharpton’s seemingly shady background-You Decide:
I. Al Sharpton:
-Posted on DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
“Alfred Charles Sharpton was born in Brooklyn, New York in October 1954, to comparatively prosperous parents. He demonstrated considerable verbal dexterity at an early age and was touted as “the wonder-boy preacher” by age 7, when he toured with gospel singer Mahalia Jackson and Pentecostal minister F.D. Washington. Washington personallyordained Sharpton, who idolized Adam Clayton Powell, as a Pentecostal minister when the boy was 10.
That same year, Sharpton’s parents divorced, leaving the youngster and his mother impoverished and reliant on welfare. In the late 1960s, Sharpton joined the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). In 1969 he wasappointed as youth director of SCLC’s “Operation Breadbasket,” an initiative headed by Jesse Jackson which boycotted businesses accused of failing to hire enough black employees.
In the February 9, 1971 edition of the Communist Party USA newspaper Daily World, CPUSA member Stephanie Allan wrote about a pair of recent rallies (in Chicago and in White Plains, New York) which had been held to support a CPUSA front called The Committee to Free Angela Davis. At the time, Davis was in prison for her role in abetting the murder of a California judge. Eliseo Medina was one of the speakers at the Chicago event, while Sharpton addressed the New York rally. According to Stephanie Allan, Sharpton and fellow speaker J.L. Scott “exposed the connection between [the] A&P [Corporation], U.S. monopoly capitalism, racism and imperialism, and related these to the Angela Davis case and the threat to the vital rights of the Black people.”
Also in 1971, Sharpton established the National Youth Movement, an organization that sought to organize young African Americans to push for increased voter registration, cultural awareness, and job-training programs. He would lead the group for the next 17 years.
After attending Brooklyn College for two years, Sharpton dropped out and had no additional higher education or formal seminary training. He soon began working (as a tour manager) for the entertainer James Brown and, later, for boxing promoter Don King. In 1978, Sharpton made an unsuccessful run for the New York State Senate.
A 2002 telecast of HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel showed a 1983 FBI surveillance video in which Sharpton could be seen discussing a money-laundering scheme with mobster-turned-informant Michael Franzese, onetime captain for the Colombo crime family. On the tape, Sharpton appeared to offer to broker a meeting between Don King and a South American drug lord. No indictments were filed.
Sharpton first entered America’s national consciousness on a large scale in November 1987, when he injected himself into the case of a 15-year-old black girl named Tawana Brawley, who claimed that she had been abducted and raped by a gang of six whites in Dutchess County, New York. Despite a complete absence of any credible evidence to support Miss Brawley’s story, Sharpton (along with attorneys Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason) made increasingly wild accusations, culminating in charges that then-Dutchess County assistant prosecutor Steven Pagones had participated in the girl’s brutalization. An extensive and costly investigation eventually proved Brawley’s tale to be without factual basis, and a grand jury dismissed her accusations.
When Pagones in 1997 sued Sharpton (as well as Maddox and Mason) for defamation of character, Sharpton, under oath, said he could “no longer recall” having made a number of his slanderous accusations against Pagones and other law-enforcement officials years earlier. Pagones won a $345,000 court judgment against Sharpton and his two accomplices, of which Sharpton was responsible for $65,000. But Sharpton never paid his debt; rather, it was paid (along with $22,000 in interest) in 2001 by a group of wealthy Sharpton supporters.
In 1991 Sharpton formed the National Action Network (NAN), whose platform “revolves around activism against racial profiling, police brutality, women’s issues, economic reform, public education, international affairs, including abolishing slavery in Africa, job awareness, AIDS awareness, and more.”
That same year, anti-Semitic riots erupted in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section after a Hasidic Jewish driver accidentally ran over and killed a 7-year-old black boy. Within three hours, a black mob had hunted down and slain an innocent rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, in retribution. Sharpton declared that it was not merely a car accident that had killed the black child, but rather the “social accident” of “apartheid.” He organized angry demonstrations and challenged local Jews—whom he derisively called “diamond merchants”—to “pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house” to settle the score. Stirred in part by such rhetoric, hundreds of Crown Heights blacks took violently to the streets for three days and nights of rioting. Sharpton reacted to the chaos by stating, “We must not reprimand our children for outrage, when it is the outrage that was put in them by an oppressive system.”
Sharpton ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1992 and 1994, and he received 32 percent of the vote in the 1997 Democratic mayoral primary in New York City.
In 1994 Sharpton was re-baptized into the Baptist faith and became a minister of that denomination.
In 1995 Sharpton—along with such notables as Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama—helped organize Louis Farrakhan’s October 16th Million Man March.
Also in 1995, Sharpton led his NAN in a racially charged boycott against Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business in Harlem. The boycott started when Freddy’s owners announced that because they wanted to expand their own business, they would no longer sublet part of their store to a black-owned record shop. The street leader of the boycott, Morris Powell, was also the head of Sharpton’s “Buy Black” Committee. Powell and his fellow protesters repeatedly and menacingly told passersby not to patronize the “crackers” and “the greedy Jew bastards [who are] killing our [black] people.” Some boycotters openly threatened violence against whites and Jews—all under the watchful, approving eye of Sharpton, who referred to the proprietors of Freddy’s as “white interlopers.” The subsequent picketing became ever-more menacing in its tone until one of the participants eventually shot (non-fatally) four whites inside the store and then set the building on fire—killing seven employees, most of whom were Hispanics.
In 1998 Sharpton was a featured speaker at the Socialist Scholars Conference in New York.
In August 2000, Sharpton held a “Redeem the Dream” rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, where one the the featured speakers was Malik Zulu Shabazz. At that event, Shabazz called on black young people, including “gang members,” to unite against their “common enemy”—“white America” and its allegedly racist police departments. He also articulated a “black dream that when we see caskets rolling in the black community … we will see caskets and funerals in the community of our enemy as well.”
In a May 2003 speech sponsored by Harvard Law School, Sharpton characterized Republicans as racists who “cut taxes for the rich while [they] strangle the poor”; he likened black Republicans Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice to subservient house slaves; he called for “$50 billion a year” in tax hikes so that America could “invest in working-class people, not multi-billionaires”; he proclaimed that “white male land owners” were in control of the United States; and he asserted that the descendants of the white men who “used to buy [blacks], now they rent ‘em.”
A harsh critic of the Iraq War and the Patriot Act (which he called “unpatriotic” and “illegitimate” legislation), Sharpton campaigned for the U.S. presidency in 2004. Though his candidacy was unsuccessful, the Democratic Partyestablishment allowed him to speak in the prime-time slot on the third day of its national convention.
In August 2005 Sharpton visited activist Cindy Sheehan in Crawford, Texas to show support for her anti-war, anti-Bush protest campaign.
On September 24, 2005, Sharpton spoke at the “Call to United Mass Action,” an anti-Iraq War rally in Washington, DC that was co-organized by International ANSWER and United for Peace and Justice. Other speakers at the event, which was attended by an estimated 300,000 people, included Ramsey Clark, Cindy Sheehan, George Galloway,Ralph Nader, Lynne Stewart, Mahdi Bray, Dolores Huerta, Elias Rashmawi, Larry Holmes, Brian Becker, Michael Berg, and Michael Shehadeh.
In March 2008, Sharpton, a strong supporter of Barack Obama’s presidential candidacy, stated that he was accustomed to speaking with Obama on a regular basis—“two or three times a week.” Sharpton often threatens to organize black boycotts of corporations on grounds that they supposedly discriminate against African Americans. Those companies, in turn, commonly try to pacify Sharpton with cash; sometimes they hire him as a consultant. For example:
- In June 1998 Sharpton threatened to call for a consumer boycott of Pepsi, alleging that blacks were underrepresented in the company’s advertising. Less than a year later, Pepsi hired Sharpton as a $25,000-per-year adviser until 2007.
- In November 2003, Sharpton threatened to lead a boycott of DaimlerChrysler over the allegedly pervasive “institutional racism” in the company’s car loan practices. Within six months, Chrysler began supporting Sharpton’s NAN conferences.
- Also in 2003, Sharpton complained that American Honda had too few blacks in management positions. Company executives met with Sharpton, and within two months they began to sponsor NAN events.
- According to one General Motors spokesman, NAN repeatedly asked his company for contributions every year from 2000 through 2006, and GM each time declined to pay anything. Then, in December 2006 Sharpton threatened to call a boycott to protest the carmaker’s closing of an African American-owned GM dealership in the Bronx. In 2007 and 2008, General Motors made monetary donations to NAN.
In April 2009, Sharpton and his NAN were fined $285,000 for having violated election rules during Sharpton’s 2004 presidential bid. According to the Federal Election Commission:
- Sharpton’s campaign illegally accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in extravagant contributions from private sources.
- Sharpton’s campaign “kept poor records of its activities and expenditures” and illegally commingled funds from the nonprofit NAN with his for-profit ventures.
- Sharpton lied to authorities regarding the amount of money he had raised during his 2004 campaign—so as to illegally qualify for federal matching funds.
On May 2, 2010, Sharpton addressed a church congregation in Danbury, Connecticut, where he said that the late Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream “was not to put one black president in the White House,” but rather “to make everything equal in everybody’s house.”
In July 2011, Sharpton replaced Cenk Uygur as the host of a nightly news / talk television program on MSNBC.
Sharpton also hosts his own radio program, The Hour of Power, which airs for three hours each weekday in New York.

Note: The following website reveals Rev. Alfred Sharpton’s connection to the NAACP, which is funded by George Soros’s Open Society Institute-You Decide:
In the early 1990s the NAACP, following the lead of its then-Executive Director Benjamin Chavis, rejected moderate voices and strove instead to form alliances with some of the most radical elements in the black community. For example, Chavis proudly entered his organization into a "sacred covenant" with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and pledged never to "forsake Mr. Farrakhan as my brother." He made a similar covenant with theCongressional Black Caucus in September 1993. In 1994 Chavis recruited into the NAACP such prominent black militants as Al Sharpton, Alton Maddox (the attorney best known for his role in the Sharpton-Tawana Brawley hoax),Maulana Karenga, Angela Davis, Calvin Butts, and Cornel West. When the NAACP's Board of Directors voted, by a 53 to 5 margin, to remove Chavis from his position after he had stolen at least $64,000 from the group's coffers, Chavis blamed "forces outside the African American community" for his demise, prominent among which were "right-wing Jewish groups."

Do our Congressional Representatives have the fortitude? No Guts-No Glory!
Posted on The Patriot Post-By Ben Shapiro (Archive)-On September 28, 2011:
“The story is one of not covert activity alone,” intoned Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, “but of covert foreign policy .... It is a tale of working outside the system and of utilizing irregular channels and private parties accountable to no one, on matters of national security, while ignoring the Congress and even the traditional agencies of executive foreign policy making. The story is both sad and sordid.”
Sen. Inouye was speaking not of the biggest scandal of the Obama administration, but of the biggest scandal of the Reagan administration—the Iran-Contra scandal. In that scandal, the United States sold weapons to parties in Iran in an attempt to free Lebanese-held hostages, then funneled the weapons cash to the anti-communist Contras in Nicaragua. The outcome of that scandal: indictments against the secretary of defense, the national security advisor, the assistant secretary of state, the chief of covert ops at the CIA and several others.
That scandal pales by comparison to the so-called Fast and Furious scandal now bubbling in Washington, D.C. In fall 2009, Eric Holder and the Department of Justice decided on a strategy supposedly designed to combat gun trafficking on the Mexican border. They didn’t want the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to seize illegal firearms anymore; instead, they wanted them to give firearms to members of the Mexican cartels.
According to the Congressional report, “ATFs Phoenix Field Division began allowing suspects to walk away with illegally purchased guns .... This shift in strategy was known and authorized at the highest levels of the Justice Department.” One goal was to identify “straw purchasers”—legal gun purchasers who hand off those guns to illegal owners. Instead of arresting the straw purchasers and their contacts, however, ATF was to allow the guns to continue to flow to the Mexican drug cartels. “ATF and DOJ leadership were interested in seeing where these guns would ultimately end up,” the report states. “ATF would only see these guns again after they turned up at a crime scene.”
That’s exactly what happened. The entire operation ended with only 20 indictments of straw purchasers—indictments that could have happened immediately upon transfer of the weapons, stopping the flow. In fact, the straw purchasers, at issue, were known to be straw purchasers from the get-go. The indictments only took place at all because U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered using the weapons authorized for free flow by ATF and DOJ. Terry wasn’t the only person killed because of Fast and Furious—the weapons OK’d by the DOJ and ATF were used in three murders, four kidnappings and an attempted murder in Mexico. They’ve been identified at 11 other crime scenes in the United States.
So what was the real goal of the DOJ and ATF? It certainly wasn’t to shut down access to arms for the cartels—the ATF was agreeing to such access. It wasn’t to stop straw purchasers—the ATF was signing off on the straw purchasers. It wasn’t to track the movements of the cartel—there was no way to do that. It was, very simply, to establish for political reasons that American guns were being used in crimes by foreign cartels.
This was the Reichstag fire of the Second Amendment. By authorizing the passage of weapons to America’s enemies, President Obama and his administration clearly wanted to set up a narrative that America’s lax gun laws were killing American troops and law enforcement officers. They wanted their misuse of law enforcement authority to create the impetus for a crackdown on gun sales in the United States.
How high does this go? Apparently, all the way to the top. The attorney general of the state of Arizona, a Democrat operative, has already resigned in an attempt to avoid the consequences of participating in this fiasco. Middle management at DOJ and ATF has already been thrown under the bus. The acting director of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, has already been defenestrated.
For his part, Obama has denied that Attorney General Eric Holder green-lit the operation, stating, “My attorney general has made clear he certainly would not have ordered gun running to be able to pass through into Mexico.” This is less than credible—how could the head of the DOJ not know about an operation of this magnitude handled by the DOJ? And how could President Obama not know? And why, if the DOJ is uninvolved, do they want a copy of Melson’s confidential interview with Congressional staff?
If this scandal runs all the way up the chain of command—and by all indicators, it could—it is certainly an impeachable offense. This is a high crime, not a misdemeanor.
Pushing an operation designed to undercut American freedoms that ends with the death of Americans is not only illegal, it is unconscionable. And unlike Iran-Contra, it wasn’t done for the right reasons.”

Posted on The Telegraph-By Nile Gardiner-On September 29, 2011:
“Ezra Klein, a columnist at The Washington Post, has written an interesting piece on why “Europe could decide the 2012 election”. Klein writes that “the 2012 election is likely to be decided by the actions of a handful of European leaders” taken over the next two weeks. He warns that the debt crisis in Europe “can shatter an already fragile global economy”, with significant implications for the United States and the fortunes of President Obama. Klein notes that Europe’s leaders could do more “to secure Obama’s reelection” than Obama’s own advisers:
“It doesn’t have to happen, of course. Europe has the resources to get through this crisis. But it doesn’t have the governance structures necessary to do so, nor is it clear that it has the political will needed to create them. At the moment, Greece is teetering on the edge, and so things could get very bad, very quick. And if they do, our economy is going to get very bad, very quick – and so will President Obama’s reelection chances.”
If Europe somehow vastly exceeds the market’s expectations and emerges with the strong fiscal union that everyone knows they can form but no one thinks they will create, it could do more to restore global confidence and kickstart an economic recovery than any single piece of legislation we can pass here, and that could do more to secure Obama’s reelection than any message David Plouffe can think up.
This Washington Post piece echoes President Obama’s declaration earlier this week that the European crisis is “scaring the world”, as well as his administration’s calls for a more aggressive, integrated response by the European Union. As I’ve noted previously, while faith in the European project is flagging all over the continent and Euroscepticism is on the rise,
Eurofederalism is alive and well among American liberals in the media and within the Obama administration itself. Some of the strongest supporters of ever-closer union in Europe can be found in Washington and New York, despite the fact that a federal Europe has never been in the interests of the United States. As even the Germans begin to lose faith in the euro, American liberals will no doubt continue to cling to the illusory dream of a federal Europe, which as we speak is starting to go down in flames.
I expect in the coming weeks that Barack Obama will increasingly focus upon the European financial crisis in an effort to distract attention away from his own economic record. He will also seek to blame Europe’s leaders for some of the economic ills America faces. But ultimately, no matter what the EU decides to do about the financial contagion spreading from Greece to Portugal, Italy, Spain and France, President Obama will be judged in 2012 on his own Big Government record, which looks similar to a lot of the heavy-spending interventionist policies that have spectacularly failed across the Atlantic.”

I. Why Have European Countries Succumbed To Governance By The EU?
Posted on Post & Email-by Don Hank, blogging at Laigle’s Forum-On February 9, 2011:
(“Feb. 9, 2011) — The EU is the progressives’ dream. It is headed by the unelected European Commission, which is the only body entitled to propose legislation. Further, the public at large and their elected MEPs (Members of European Parliament) are thereby shut out of all meaningful decision making. The Commission does not consult with the voters but only with interest groups, and the details are ironed out by committees, which could be referred to as technocrats.
The national governments (called “local”) are obliged to adopt – or harmonize – EU legislation, so they are puppets of the regime.
We see the outlines of this system in our American “democracy,” where interest groups rule over the majority and the majority likes it or lumps it.
What you read here presumably is what a North American Union would look like. You will recall that in the latter days of his administration, GW Bush — whose father chattered a lot about the New World Order — was in fact toying with just such a supranational scheme, called the Security and Prosperity Partnership. A secret meeting held in Canada would have laid the groundwork for implementation of the scheme. Fortunately, the plot was outed and the plan was scrapped — temporarily or permanently, who knows?
Some GOP “moderates” now want to draft Jeb Bush for president in 2012.
Don Hank
Quote:
“Before these are drawn up, the Commission consults a wide range of interest groups and advisory bodies and having drawn up such proposals it will consult experts via various committees and groups to get the technical details right.”
Sonya Jay Porter is an Englishwoman, a free-lance writer and a member of the UK Independence Party, which is working to get Britain out of a political alliance with the European Union. In the article below she tells us why.
How The EU Parliament Works:
…And it’s not like Britain’s
by Sonya Jay Porter
Many people throughout Europe and the rest of the world still think that the parliament of the European Union is democratic.
Compared to that in Britain, It isn’t.
To begin with, the Members of the European parliament (MEPs) are not elected as in Britain, on a ‘first past the post’ system but by a multi-member type of proportional representation. There is currently a total of 732 seats in the EU parliament and these are allocated to each member state on the basis of population, Germany having the largest number and Luxembourg the fewest. Britain now has 72 seats, or about 9.8% of the total. Once elected, MEPs then sit, not in national blocks but in seven Europe-wide political groups. As stated in the EU’s Guide to its Institution (2005), ‘between them, they represent all views on European integration, from the strongly pro-federalist to the openly Eurosceptic’. You will notice the use of the word ‘openly’. But so far, so democratic.
It is important to realise that unlike the British Parliament (which we know by its place-name as ’Westminster’), the European parliament does not consist of a proposing Chamber, such as the House of Commons, and a scrutinizing Chamber like the House of Lords.
Decision-making at European Union level involves various European institutions, in particular:
The European Commission
The European Parliament
The Council of the European Union
According to The Guide, The European Commission, which now consists of 27 members, is independent of national governments and its job is solely to represent and uphold the interests of the EU as a whole. The Commission alone is responsible for drawing up proposals for new European legislation which it then presents to the Council and the parliament and it is here that democracy begins to falter, for the Commissioners are not elected but appointed.
A new Commission is set up every five years within six months of the parliamentary elections and it is the member state Governments which agree together who is to be the new Commission President. The President then, in discussions with the member state Governments, chooses the other Members of the Commission who will all have held political positions in their own countries but are neither MEPs (Members of Parliament) nor have been elected to this position by the populations of the EU member states.
It is the Commission alone, which is responsible for drafting proposals for new European legislation. Before these are drawn up, the Commission consults a wide range of interest groups and advisory bodies and having drawn up such proposals it will consult experts via various committees and groups to get the technical details right.
However, the European Council is the EU’s main decision-making body with its first duty being to pass European laws, in many cases, but not all, jointly with the European parliament. In some fields, the Council alone legislates but has to consult parliament. The Council, which consists of ministers from the member states, will discuss, behind closed doors and away from the media, the proposals put forward by the Commission. Which ministers attend which meetings depends on what subjects are on the agenda. For instance, Environment Ministers will attend a meeting on the environment and Finance Ministers will attend a meeting on financial matters. If then agreed, the proposal may then be put to the chamber of the European parliament.
And it is in the European parliament that democracy really breaks down.
Before being voted on, the proposals will go to various Committees of MEPs for possible amendment after which the chamber will be given perhaps 24 hours’ notice of the coming vote in which to study these amended proposals. Discussion will also take place as to who will speak for each group and for how long on which measure. At this stage in Westminster, there would be an active debate in the House of Commons, often taking a considerable time, but in the European parliament speaking time is allocated amongst the Parliamentary Groups on the basis of size, and most MEPs will get around just one minute to speak. Nor are these are not what would be recognised in the British Parliament as debates but just short talks, mainly designed for the media.
After these speeches come the votes. But once again, although a proposal can be won or lost on 51% of those voting, the method of counting votes is quite different from that at Westminster. No ‘ayes to the right’ and ‘noes to the left’. Instead, most votes go through merely on a show of hands. Bearing in mind that scores of proposals and their amendments can be brought forward for voting on in one day, and that there are nearly 800 possible voters, it is not surprising that there can be some spectacular mistakes. The UK Independence Party, which sits with the European Freedom and Democracy Group, has formally requested that all votes be taken electronically but this was refused by the parliamentary authorities. In spite of this, should any vote be lost, this is not the end of the matter. It then goes to ‘Conciliation’, after which in most cases, the proposal goes through into EU law.
In Britain these EU laws (known as either directives or regulations) go through Parliament in the sense that committees have a short debate where they are asked to ‘take note’ of a particular directive or regulation. Note that there is no option to reject them and although there is a vote on ‘taking note’, this is academic since unless we have an appropriate veto, Britain has no choice but to accept these EU laws which now comprise some 84% of all British legislation.
Which means that whatever the unelected European Commission puts forward as a proposal will become law in Britain and the other EU states because there is virtually no way of stopping it. And that means the countries of the European Union are ruled not by democracy but by a form of dictatorship known as an oligarchy, dictatorship not by one but by a group.
But a dictatorship nonetheless.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On October 1, 2011:
“The newly appointed chief of President Obama’s Social Innovation and Civic Participation Council is a member of a globalist organization whose activists can be found throughout the Obama administration.
Jonathan Greenblatt was appointed the new head of Obama’s Social Innovation Unit earlier this month.
Greenblatt is the founder of a civic service company that works in partnership with Google and the Huffington Post. He has several ties to Google.
Read what we’ll need to accomplish to restore America to greatness.
WND reported last week that until his appointment to the Obama administration, Greenblatt served as the director of a social justice group funded by George Soros.
The organization, the Aspen Institute, works closely with Soros and even was reportedly used by the billionaire in a failed attempt to engineer the defeat of President Bush in the 2004 elections.
Now it has emerged that Greenblatt is a member of the globalist group Pacific Council on International Policy, or PCIP. He previously chaired PCIP’s energy and environment committee and served on its globalization committee.
The PCIP was founded in 1995 in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations.
The group says it is the “premier international affairs organization focused on policy issues of special resonance to the West Coast.”
Its goals include “building our network of globally oriented business, civic and government leaders.” Also, the group aims to convene exchanges with global policy makers and opinion leaders while partnering with organizations around the world to “promote mutual understanding and coordinated action.”
The group recently led a taskforce on so-called climate change adaption. Its recommendations include building government funds to support large-scale “climate adaption” projects.
PCIP last year released a major report on U.S.-Mexico border security that recommended the U.S. government crackdown on gun sellers.
The report says: “The United States should intensify efforts to curtail the smuggling of firearms, ammunition and bulk cash into Mexico by aggressively investigating gun sellers, regulating gun shows, reinstituting the Clinton-era ban on assault weapons, conducting targeted inspections of southbound traffic and providing leads to a more robust Mexican Customs authority.”
The PCIP is funded by the Ford Foundation, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation.
In an online question-and-answer session with the PICP, Greenblatt told the group he believes the world “needs to pursue policies that blend a long-term commitment to sustainable development with opportunities for widespread economic prosperity in emerging markets.”
Asked to list his favorite global resources online, Greenblatt says he follows the Twitter account of economist Jeffrey Sachs.
Sachs is a Soros-funded economist. He is a member of the Soros-funded Institute for New Economic Thinking, or INET, which holds yearly conferences in the mountains of Bretton Woods, N.H.,that openly seek to restructure the world economy. Last year, Sachs keynoted the event.
Sachs also founded the Millennium Promise Alliance, a nonprofit organization that says it is dedicated to ending extreme poverty and hunger.
Critics have called the Millennium group, which is funded by Soros to the tune of $50 million, a wealth-redistribution scheme.
Investor’s Business Daily reported the Millennium goal called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection – oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”
Global group abounds in Obama administration:
Meanwhile, multiple Obama administration members are also activists in the PCIP.
Earlier this week, WND reported Obama’s pick for Commerce secretary is a PICIP member.
Obama’s ambassador to France, Charles Rivkin, is a member of the PCIP. Last October, he invited a 29-member delegation from the PCIP to a conference in France for the stated purpose of discussing Arab and Islamic relations in the country.
Rivkin was at the center of a scandal when WikiLeaks released a cable in which he proposed the U.S. Embassy in France initiate a multipronged effort to “engage” and help to “empower” France’s Muslim minorities.
Rivkin called the effort a “Minority Engagement Strategy,” which was largely directed at Muslims in France.
WND found other PCIP members inside the Obama administration.
James B. Steinberg, deputy secretary of state, serves on the PICP board of directors. He also serves on the science and security board of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, a journal that argued during the Cold War for the U.S. to hand its nuclear weapons to an international organization.
The Bulletin, as WND reported, was founded by scientists who were accused of spying for the Soviets and passing along vital nuclear secrets.
Vilma S. Martinez, U.S. ambassador to Argentina, is the chairman of the PCIP’s Mexico Study Group.
Former Utah Gov. Jon M. Huntsman Jr., a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, was appointed by Obama as ambassador to China in August 2009. He is a PCIP founding director.
Jeffrey L. Bleich, Obama’s appointment for U.S. ambassador to Australia, is a PCIP member.
Diana Farrell, deputy director of the National Economic Council, is a member of the PCIP as well as the Council on Foreign Relations and the Bretton Woods Committee. She is a frequent speaker on U.S. global engagement.
Byron Auguste, a member of Obama’s White House Council for Community Solutions, serves on the PCIP board. He is also on the board of trustees of the Center for American Progress, which is funded by Soros and led by John Podesta, who served as co-chairman of Obama’s transition team.
Last year, PCIP member Steven Myers joined the State Department’s advisory committee on international economic policy.
John B. Emerson, appointee for Obama’s advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations, is a member of both the PCIP and CFR.
In April, Obama nominated PCIP member Janet Yellen to serve as vice chairman of the Federal Reserve.
PCIP member Alan D. Bersin was appointed commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Last March, Obama appointed PCIP member Michael Camunez to the position of assistant secretary for market access and compliance in the Department of Commerce.
Ernest James Wilson, a member of the PCIP board, was elected chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in September 2009. He served as a policy advisor on Obama’s presidential transition team on matters of communication technology and public diplomacy.
Organization accuses U.S. of 'structural racism':
Greenblatt, meanwhile, also serves as director of the Impact Economy Initiative at the Aspen Institute.
Aspen’s mission statement says the nonprofit seeks “to foster values-based leadership, encourag[e] individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and ... provide a neutral and balanced venue for discussing and acting on critical issues.”
The group leads a number of social justice global initiatives and espouses an ideology that government intervention is necessary to fix what it claims are various social and racial injustices that permeate U.S. society.
Aspen’s website says the group is dedicated to repairing what it terms “structural racism.”
The group contends that “public policies, institutional practices, cultural representations, and other norms work in various, often reinforcing ways to perpetuate racial group inequity in every key opportunity area, from health, to education, to employment, to income and wealth.”
A member of Aspen’s board is Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Harvard professor who sparked a national race controversy in July 2009 when Obama criticized local Cambridge police who had arrested Gates after a burglary had been reported on his property.
Aspen runs a program that provides training and seminars for federal judges.
'Clandestine' Soros summit:
Soros has provided significant funding to the Aspen Institute. His Open Society Institute has provided more than $400,000 to the group since 2004.
The New Yorker magazine reported on a 2004 “clandestine summit meeting” that took place at the Aspen Institute.
“The participants, all Democrats, were sworn to secrecy,” said the magazine, including Soros and four other billionaires who “shared a common goal: to use their fortunes to engineer the defeat of President George W. Bush in the 2004 election.”
Soros himself spoke at numerous Aspen events, including a 2004 seminar entitled “America’s Role in the Fight Against Global Poverty” that also featured Al Gore as a speaker.
Aspen hosted Soros in 2006 for a talk about his new book “The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror.”
Discover the Networks notes that Jim Spiegelman, Aspen’s director of communications, formerly worked as a “special assistant” to Soros.
Also, Arjun Gupta, who serves on Aspen’s board of overseers, is a vice president at the Chatterjee Group, which advises the Soros Fund Management Group.
Meanwhile, Greenblatt is the founder and president of All for Good, an open source, Web-based initiative that says it seeks to engage more Americans in service. It has the largest database of volunteer listings ever compiled and provides content to a wide range of government, nonprofit and personal websites.
Greenblatt has stated he was inspired to found All for Good in December 2008 by Obama’s call for more participatory civic service.
Greenblatt formerly served on the Technology and Innovation working group of the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition team.
All for Good was built by a group of volunteers from Google, the Craigslist Foundation and other organizations, reportedly with input from Arianna Huffington. The group currently maintains strategic partnerships with Google and the Huffington Post.”

Note: The following Institutes work closely with George Soros:
I. Aspen Institute (AI):
Founded in 1950 by Chicago industrialist Walter Paepcke, the Aspen Institute (AI) seeks “to foster values-based leadership, encourag[e] individuals to reflect on the ideals and ideas that define a good society, and ... provide a neutral and balanced venue for discussing and acting on critical issues.” The organization pursues these objectives by way of seminars, public conferences, issue-analysis forums, and young-leader fellowships.
Encompassing a broad range of issues, many of AI's policy-work programs are rooted in the belief that the United States is a nation whose history amounts largely to an unbroken narrative of injustice; that government intervention frequently represents the best remedy for social and economic problems; and that America's deep-seated “structural racism,” while “harder to see than its previous incarnations,” is just as likely as its forerunner to “perpetuate racial group inequity.” This latter perspective is consistent with the views of a prominent AI board of trustees member, Henry Louis Gates.
Aspen Institute (AI) has numerous noteworthy connections to the billionaire philanthropist George Soros. For example, in August 2004 Soros and other wealthy Democrats gathered at the Institute to brainstorm ways in which they could use their fortunes to engineer the defeat of George W. Bush. That same year, Soros spoke at an AI seminar (which also featured an appearance by Al Gore) titled “America’s Role in the Fight Against Global Poverty.” In 2006 Aspen sponsored a Soros talk where the billionaire promoted his book The Age of Fallibility: Consequences of the War on Terror. Jim Spiegelman, Aspen’s director of communications, formerly worked as a “special assistant” to Soros. And Arjun Gupta, who serves on Aspen’s board of overseers, is a vice president with the Chatterjee Group which advises Soros and the Soros Fund Management Group.
Soros's Open Society Institute (OSI) has awarded the Aspen Institute numerous large grants over the years, including $50,000 in 2004, another $50,000 in 2005, $195,000 in 2008, and $125,000 in 2009. The latter grant was earmarked for “international human rights and international humanitarian law and their application in American jurisprudence.” In 2011, OSI funded AI's publication of a report blaming the overrepresentation of blacks and Latinos in U.S. prison populations on “the failure of so many of our society’s institutions.”
Soon after the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009, AI developed a close working relationship with the U.S. State Department. Said Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that year: “We can’t imagine a better partner than the Aspen Institute.”
Additional Information On The Aspen Institute (AI):
Though headquartered in the U.S., the Aspen Institute also has seven branches overseas -- in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, and Romania.
During his opening remarks at an Aspen Institute event in March 2011, Eboo Patel, the founder of a national movement promoting interfaith religious cooperation and one of President Barack Obama's advisers on faith, derided George Washington as a slaveowner; identified slaves and their descendants as the people who, because they “responded to America’s original sin with a magnanimous blessing,” were “most responsible for the continuity of the American project”; lamented Americans' resistance to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf's efforts to construct an Islamic Center near Ground Zero in Manhattan; and asserted that “the six fundamentals of Shariah” are “remarkably” similar to “the privileges enumerated in America’s Founding Documents.”

II. Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET):
The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) was conceived in January 2009, when Anatole Kaletsky -- a Times of London economics writer who opposes the “noninterventionist model of capitalism” and favors deficit spending and “stimulus packages” as bulwarks against economic depression -- discussed with George Soros “the unique opportunity to reshape economics in the wake of the financial crisis.” Eight months later, Soros assembled 25 economists, financiers, and journalists in Bedford, New York to brainstorm the idea. This “Bedford Summit” resulted in a “unanimous agreement that our economic paradigm must change,” and a “recognition of the importance of empowering the young generation of economists to rethink” the field of economics. Toward that end, INET was created as a nonprofit foundation in October 2009 with an initial $50 million pledge by Soros's Open Society Institute. Kaletsky became a member of INET's governing board.
Co-founding INET with Soros was Jim Balsillie, CEO of the Canadian telecommunications company Research in Motion. In 2010 Balsillie was appointed to the United Nations High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability, charged with addressing “the growing risk of dangerous climate change.”
