What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On July 6, 2011:

“The House Democratic Caucus hosted communist revolutionary-group founder Van Jones just one day before he spoke to a student group funded by billionaire George Soros.

“Why are Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrat Caucus seeking out Jones’ counsel?” asked Guy Harrison, executive director of the National Republican Congressional Committee, in a fundraising email yesterday.

“They say a person can be judged by the company they keep, and that holds true for the Democrat caucus as well,” Harrison wrote in a fundraising email.

In September 2009, Jones resigned as President Obama’s “green jobs” czar after it was exposed he founded the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. It was also reported he signed a statement that accused the Bush administration of possible involvement in the 9/11 attacks.

Get “The Manchurian President” now in audiobook format, from the WND Superstore.

Jones was a featured speaker at a two-day national conference that began yesterday for a group that calls itself Campus Progress. Other speakers include former President Bill Clinton and Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn.

Campus Progress is a “project” of the Center for American Progress, or CAP, which is heavily bankrolled by Soros. CAP, reportedly highly influential in helping to craft White House policy, is led by John Podesta, who served as co-chairman of Obama’s presidential transition team.

Jones himself is a CAP fellow. On CAP’s board is Carol Browner, who directed the White House Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy until earlier this year.

When her appointment to the Obama administration was announced in January 2009, Browner was listed as one of 14 leaders of the Commission for a Sustainable World Society of Socialist International, the world’s largest socialist umbrella group. SI calls for “global governance” and a world socialist order.

Jones starting 'anti-Tea Party':

As WND reported, Jones launched a new organization two weeks ago that seeks to counter the tea party while petitioning for a progressive agenda that includes “making Wall Street and the super-rich pay their fair share.”

The organization, dubbed “The American Dream Movement,” is partnered with a slew of radical groups funded by Soros.

WND was first to report the movement was introduced using subversive tactics, particularly a hoax Youtube video in which it appeared the ticker outside News Corporation’s Manhattan headquarters had been hacked and reprogrammed with an anti-Fox News script calling for revolution.

The Soros-funded MoveOn.org admitted it set up fake identities for the alleged hackers and even released a misleading video in which a man, with his face disguised, purported to confess he was behind the Fox News hacking.

Jones officially launched his American Dream Movement at a New York City event co-sponsored by MoveOn.org two weeks ago.

The movement has been described as a grassroots progressive group seeking to emulate the success of the tea party.

The movement, however, is anything but grassroots. It is already partnered with two of the nation’s largest unions, the AFL-CIO and the SEIU, which boast an army of millions of public employees.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka recorded a Web video for the campaign.

Also signed on to the movement are the Soros-funded groups, Campaign for America’s Future and the Center for Community Change.

Campaign for America’s Future was co-founded in 1996 chiefly by Robert Borosage, who previously served as director of the Marxist-oriented Institute for Policy Studies.

The CCC boasts a board filled with radicals, including socialist activists.

Jones, meanwhile, outlined his movement’s policies in a Huffington Post piece:

Wrote Jones: “The steps needed to renew and redeem the American Dream are straightforward and simple:

• “Increase revenue for America’s government sensibly by making Wall Street and the super-rich pay their fair share.

• “Reduce spending responsibly by cutting the real fat – like corporate welfare for military contractors, big agriculture and big oil. 

• “Simultaneously protect the heart and soul of America – our teachers, nurses and first responders. 

• “Guarantee the health, safety and success of our children and communities by leaving the muscle and bone of America’s communities intact. 

• “Maintain the American Way by treating employees with dignity and respecting their right to a seat at the bargaining table. 

• “Rebuild the middle class – and pathways into it – by fighting for a “made in America” innovation and manufacturing agenda, including trade and currency policies that honor American workers and entrepreneurs. 

• “Stand for the idea that, in a crisis, Americans turn TO each other – and not ON each other.”
• “We think we can do what the tea party did,” Jones said in an interview with The Fix. “They stepped forward under a common banner, and everybody took them seriously. Polls suggest there are more people out there who have a different view of the economy, but who have not stepped forward yet under a common banner.”

The far-left AlterNet, whose board has included Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, summarized Jones’ new movement:

“The goal is nothing less than a broad “open source” movement of millions who, via organizing, house parties, events, technological savvy, and electoral activity, will attempt to shift America’s focus away from the budget-cut mentality and the protection of big corporations and banks, to the human and economic support of tens of millions of unemployed and downsized Americans, including returning war vets and young people.

We’ve been hugely disappointed in the Obama administration for not mounting a more populist, people-oriented challenge to the corporate and banking dominance of our economic system, which has resulted in both the bailout of the banks, and the obscene shift of wealth to an increasingly small number of super-rich Americans. Jones hopes to offer an answer.

The idea of Jones’ movement is not new. The progressive group Netroots Nation featured a panel discussion at its July 18, 2008, convention entitled “Growing the American Dream Movement.”

Soros group admits it "hacked" Fox News:

The movement was first introduced to the world using a hoax Youtube video in which it appeared Fox News had been hacked.

The YouTube video, titled “Fox News Got Hacked. Real,” has garnered more than 340,000 views since it was posted last month. It shows several people emerging from a subway outside the Manhattan headquarters of News Corp., the parent of the Fox News Channel.

The video focuses on the changing Fox News ticker, which is apparently reprogrammed to read: “We are being lied to. Right wingers are destroying the middle class and trying to kill our unions. The country is not broke.”

Continues the supposedly hacked ticker: “We are the richest country in the world. USA is twice as rich as China. Our economy is bigger than most of Europe combined. We are not broke. We are being lied to. We will rise up We will fight back. We will spread the truth.”

The video was posted by a YouTube user named “hiropro999,” which has now been exposed as MoveOn.org.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, leaders of MoveOn not only admitted their group was behind the video but revealed the organization crafted the video in less than two months, consulted hackers and made an elaborate identity for hiropro999. MoveOn set up online accounts, an email address and even a fake “explainer” video in which an unidentified man takes credit for being the “hacker.”

The organization reportedly swore everyone involved to secrecy and declined media requests addressed to hiropro999.

“I was alternatively thrilled and worried,” one MoveOn staffer involved in the project told the Huffington Post. “The bottom line is, we are in an ever-changing frontier in terms of how people communicate online. You have to take risks within reason in order to have an impact.”

The bottom of the YouTube video promoted a website, June23.org, which now forwards to MoveOn’s new site for its “Rebuild the Dream” project with Jones.

That site also admits Moveon was behind the Fox News hoax.

“MoveOn Civic Action released a faux Fox News hack video to send the message: We are being lied to. The American people have the right to know that the country is not broke and we shouldn’t be cutting vital services families depend on,” states the site.

The site said that on June 23, “Van Jones will be joined by The Roots, artist/DJ Shepard Fairey, and other celebrity guests in New York City to kick off the movement to rebuild the American Dream.”

Radical communist:

Speaking to the East Bay Express, Jones said he first became radicalized in the wake of the 1992 Rodney King riots, during which time he was arrested.

“I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28^th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29^th,” he said. “By August, I was a communist.

“I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next 10 years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary,” he said.

Succeeding revelations about Jones by WND included:

• One day after the 9/11 attacks, Jones led a vigil that expressed solidarity with Arab and Muslim Americans as well as what he called the victims of “U.S. imperialism” around the world. 

• Just days before his White House appointment, Jones used a forum at a major youth convention to push for a radical agenda that included spreading the wealth and “changing the whole system.” 

• Jones” Maoist manifesto while leading the group Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM, was scrubbed from the Internet after being revealed by WND. 

• Jones was the main speaker at an anti-war rally that urged “resistance” against the U.S. government – a demonstration sponsored by an organization associated with the Revolutionary Communist Party. 

• In a 2005 conference, Jones characterized the U.S. as an “apartheid regime” that civil rights workers helped turn into a “struggling, fledgling democracy.”

“Food For Thought”

God Bless the U.S.A.!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4E&feature=related

Semper Fi!

Jake

In keeping with Genesis 1:26, man created himself and God, leaving himself in control.  Habakkuk, disgusted with the whole thing, in Habakkuk 1:2 we read: “O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou will not save.”

This sad state of affairs at the end of the Old Testament brought about the New Testament.   The writer of the first Gospel, the first book of the New Testament, was Matthew, called also Levi, a Jew of Galilee, a tax collector for the Roman oppressor, one of those ill-reputed publicans, the purpose of the book was to tell about Jesus.

Starting from his birth, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea.  The three “wise men” spoken of were Magi, Persian astrologers. At the time, astrologers advised kings.  King Herod heard that the Magi were in his kingdom looking for the birth of the king of Jews. He was deeply troubled. He gathered together the priests and scribes, demanding that they inform him where Christ would be born, so he could worship the king of Jews.  The Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem to Christ’s birth place, worshiped him and departed.  Joseph took his wife Mary and Jesus to Egypt. Herod killed every child in Bethlehem two years and younger.

Following his calling, Jesus went about teaching the people that God loved them, and that the scribes and Pharisees were hypocrites, “for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in” (Mt. 23:13).  Jesus spoke of earth and heaven in The Lord’s Prayer, followed by “But first seek ye the kingdom of God.”  He distinguished the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God. In the Gospels, there are many references to the kingdom of heaven, and omissions Jesus attributed to the Pharisees, Sadducees, and Herodians.  Jesus preached in their temple that they did not represent God at all, but their own selfish desires.  He turned over the moneychangers’ tables, the source of their personal wealth.  For being a nonconformist, a dissident, Jesus was crucified.  Is it any wonder that those who represent themselves as followers of Jesus’ teaching, at the same time condemning to hellfire and damnation all of those who don’t adhere to their doctrines and dogmas, that they are seen as hypocrites? Jesus taught us to love one another. What makes them that condemn me different from the very authorities who crucified Jesus?

Where do we look for answers?  Where is the kingdom of God?  In Gen. 1:26, “Let us make man in our image,” who is us?  What those in power don’t want you to know is that your good answers are internal. Authority’s answers, external—for the good of all. You have a choice: God in out of sight heaven; God in self.  Go back as far as your memory goes. Play your life as you would play a movie.  The events of your life will make connections.  You will know when you made the right and wrong decisions.  The longer you’ve lived the better you will know.  

Have your dreams come true?  If they have not, if you meticulously examine your life, you will know why. You didn’t listen to that small voice within you.  You followed external leads, such as the stained glass windows in your church, such as the Capital Building in Washington, D.C.,  such as the desire to own a large home in an affluent neighborhood. In Europe, there were magnificent cathedrals with stained glass windows, enormously impressive capital buildings, beautiful, large homes.  Imagine yourself in early America, no stained glass windows in your church, Washington, D.C. remote and never on your mind, living in a log cabin, cooking in a fireplace, kerosene lamps, working long, hard hours to survive, what would your dream have been then? 

By looking externally, maxed out in every way, heading for moral, spiritual, and fiscal bankruptcy, we have not been able to handle our advanced lives. We are going retrograde in time, back toward the Dark Ages of religious and political oppression, but there is a force of nature at work few know.  The “end time” the religious speak of is the end of the Age of Pisces, the dawn of the Age of Aquarius.

Those depending on government elected Barrack Obama in November 2008. Saturn, the learning planet, went into its worst alignment with Pluto, the generational planet, in November 2008, and will remain a force until near the end of Obama’s term of office. The world situation has gone from bad to worse since Obama’s election, but not in Obama’s estimation.  He welcomes emerging democracies in the Mid East and blesses the Muslim Brotherhood, throwing Israel under the buss.   

When I was born Saturn was trine Pluto. A trine is the best of alignments.  My rising sign is Aquarius. The rising sign is the part of me I show the world. As I age, I became more and more my rising sign.

My ruling planet is Uranus. It takes Uranus 84 years to orbit the sun.  When I was in my forties, Uranus would have been opposed to Uranus when I was born. Such an opposition means significant change.  When I was 49, I cut from the herd and went on my own, went on my path of destiny, started looking within for answers. I can say my choice was best for me, but no one else I knew.  To them, I was cutting out on my responsibilities; that is, my responsibilities to them.  I say that I am responsible to make myself what I want to be, not what others want me to be.  It goes with my astrological makeup. I did what many think about doing, but never do.

Before my departure, I was playing the blame game for everything that went wrong in my life. After my departure, when I had no one to blame but myself, everything started going right. 

Last February, I decided to open my own Web site and blog my philosophy. The Internet provider of  http://www.mymiraclemessage.com/reports the number of comments waiting for my approval, presently over 6,000.  Roughly half of the comments I read turn out to be spam or trash.  I’ve approved of over 3,000.  To receive this many comments from all over the world means I’m onto something big, something the powers that be are not onto. Who knows how many are reading my blogs?

Most if not all of the comments I’m receiving are coming from entrepreneurs, people who have something to sell on the Internet. Kevin Kelly gave us“New Rules for the New economy: Twelve Dependable Principles”in Wired magazine’s September 1997 issue.  While Obama, the radical left, and the Muslim Brotherhood are pushing us toward global slavery, the world is moving away from being influenced by external factors and toward one-on-one brotherhood. Obama, the radical left and the Muslim Brotherhood are whistling Dixie. Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

Every so often, somebody wakes up and walks out of the crowd. Every so often, somebody stops and says : " Hey, this is WRONG!".

Every so often, somebody stands up and says " Oh, NO YOU DON'T..NOT in MY NAME!"

Every so often, 'We The People" speak up and call an end to "Business as Usual".

NOT so often, does an organization receive such  open distasteful comments from a sitting President, as did the Tea Party, when the current President "slipped" and used the regrettable and vulgar term " Tea Bagger", when referring to the Party of the American People.  I was at first shocked, then disappointed. Very quickly, I realized that the "source" of the rude reference was a little man standing behind a very large job title. Considering the source, I realized just how serious he and his party take us as a threat.  I say that we're not a "threat", but rather, we are "reality".

I'd say that the powers that have been operating Carte Blanche in Washington for  hundreds of years have finally been given the wake-up, shot-across-the-bow  that IS the Tea Party.

In my opinion, this country has been led astray. We've been taken so far off course that we are in the most severe threat of failure since the greatest test of the union, the Civil War.

What is so very apparent is that the system as we know it has failed us. The system that has allowed the future of ourselves, our children and their children, to be sold into financial servitude screams of the need to be corrected. The political cartel that is in power currently, that which is attempting to change America according to their ideals, are attempting to initiate their brand of change from "..the bottom-up and from the outside-in".. Change, in their view, starts with a redistribution of wealth. The easiest way to take somebody's money is to make that paper currency be worthless.  Scared and desperate people are much easier to manipulate than wise, aware and enlightened populace. Your money is being manipulated downward. Deliberately. It's easier to "redistribute" that way.

Make no mistake:  I'm not scared.  I'm not afraid. What I am,  is "Mad as Hell".

One party gave us a system whereby, under threat of Janet Reno, anybody with a pulse was guaranteed a home loan. Regardless.

Add to this a cadre of corporations that took full-fledged advantage of this "Federal Guarantee" and committed what will be eventually revealed to have been the greatest, largest and most devastating crime in the history of the world. And they are getting away with it. Trillions of dollars worth...( I never thought I'd be speaking of this amount of money, I never thought that amount even existed, and in fact,  it does NOT physically exist!)

Now, the Democrats are crying that they "inherited" the current mess from a Republican Administration. They are admittedly partly correct. They did "inherit"..but they have their own party to thank, if they wish to be transparent. The mess was made larger by unbridled greed and manipulation, and the mess was amplified  even more,by the wholesale bailing out of --with little or no strings attached of the very institutions that took part in the crime!  The chaos that ensued when the cards came tumbling down was felt around the world.

The reality to me, is that BOTH sides of the political aisle have each done their part to bring this country to it's knees, and to have for ever changed the future of this nation.

The reality to me, is that BOTH sides are guilty and need to be held accountable for their actions. Taking power away from both sides is the logical choice..to hold BOTH sides accountable for this huge problem is easy. Making them change is the hardest part of all. I'm not sure that we can count on them to do so.  The Left is too busy trying to change this country, and the far Right is too busy trying to sell it.

I'm furious at what has happened to my Country.  I am furious that the Red Dragon will arise profit  from our ashes, having never fired a shot. The fact that China is building up to be the next super power is inescapable.  They have done so by letting us shoot ourselves. We have fanned their flames with Treasury Notes, sold on the open market, to fuel and feed the system that is failing us.

America is at the greatest cross roads since the first Civil War.

We can no longer rely upon the decisions made by the Left or by the Right, to safely guide this great nation through the  world today.

America is calling for a fundamental wake-up.

America is calling for a return to the very principals that created this nation.

It's time to take BOTH sides of the political aisle to the woodshed.  Let's put them BOTH on notice; " If you do not stop business as usual, and if you don't change your financially irresponsible ways, then we will replace you with men and women of better character than you, with greater sense of God and Country than you, and who posses  respect  for the future of this Great Nation".

Republicans and Democrats: Consider Yourselves On Notice.

You've FAILED this country and we're Mad As Hell...in fact, "You're FIRED!".

I am born on the 4th of July.   I am a proud American. I have served in her Armed Forces. I am a father, husband and small business owner. I am not inclined to lay down and be stepped on. Not any longer.

We need to vote as if our future counts on it.

Because it really does.

God Bless the Tea Party.

Posted on Israel National News-By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu-On July 5, 2011:

“Even U.S. President Barack Obama cannot perform miracles in the Middle East,” Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin told outgoing U.S. ambassador James Cunningham Monday night.

 “There are no shortcuts in the Middle East,” Rivlin explained to the envoy, who is finishing his three-year term ofservice in Israel. “The Americans think that if we surrender everything, there will be peace. This is a mistake. The Palestinian Authority is not mature enough to make responsible decisions.”

The Speaker told Cunningham that Israelis “feel the atmosphere in the White House has worsened, and the feeling is that President Obama feels Israel is more of a burden than a strategic asset.”

Rivlin added that Israelis were disappointed that the president skipped over Israel during his visit to Cairo two years ago, when he delivered his “reaching out to Muslims” speech.

Cunningham replied that the feeling is unjustified and that President Obama will visit Israel. However, he did not indicate a date or even whether the trip will happen this year.

President Obama is certain to visit Israel before the 2012 election, when he will be campaigning for a second term inoffice. Cunningham is being replaced by Daniel Shapiro.

In his parting remarks to Cunningham, Rivlin also stated that he “would not want to depend on the Americans in the face of a dangerous situation” of an armed Palestinian Authority. He said Israeli leaders across the political spectrum oppose allowing the Palestinian Authority to have an army and added, “PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has refrained from terror but is not prepared to say out loud that the interest of the Palestinian Authority Arab is to live in peace alongside Israel with only one army [the IDF] between the Mediterranean Sea and Jordan."

Abbas has rejected forming a country without an army although it already has a large security service, which officially is called a “police force” to circumvent the Oslo Accords that prohibit its being militarized. The “police officers” have been trained by American generals.”

Posted on LA Times-By Christi Parsons-On July 6, 2011:

“The government has warned airlines that terrorists are considering surgically implanting explosives into people in an attempt to circumvent screening procedures, according to U.S. officials.

There is no indication of an immediate plot, but the new information could lead to additional screening procedures at the nation’s airports. Existing scanners would not necessarily detect bombs implanted under a person’s skin, experts said.

While the information suggests such a threat would come from overseas rather than domestic groups, federal officials are ordering precautions both in the U.S. and abroad, the official said.

The idea of surgically implanting bombs has been examined by intelligence agencies in the past, but new information has suggested that terrorist groups are seriously considering the technique, officials said.

A spokesman for the Transportation Security Administration, Nicholas Kimball, said that passengers flying to the United States are likely to face additional screening measures.

“These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same activity at every international airport,” Kimball said.

“Measures may include interaction with passengers, in addition to the use of other screening methods such as pat-downs and the use of enhanced tools and technologies.”

Existing scanners cannot detect certain explosive materials like PETN under the skin. They would have to rely on explosive trace detection swabs to detect bombs under the skin, and those are only conducted on a fraction of the passengers.”

Semper Fi!

Jake

Last February, I decided to create my own domain on the Internet—to blog my philosophy.  I’m astounded!  I’m receiving thousands of highly favorable comments. Who knows how many are reading my blogs? How much influence am I having on the future?   

Someone is worried about the influence I’m having. A problem occurred from having linked responders on other of my blogs with “My Miracle Message,” the blog that launched www.mymiraclemessage.com.   Instead of my responders being linked, I suddenly received a message that “My Miracle Message” was being archived. I’m not sure where that message originated. It appeared when I checked out my linking language. I’m suspicious. That message was followed by a message from Microsoft that an update was available for my windows software, I suppose “Word” in my new Apple, which is Microsoft’s. Why on earth would Microsoft archive my blog? Microsoft’s update fixes vulnerability to attackers who can overwrite the contents of my new Apple computer’s memory with malicious code. So, there’s the answer.  For the first time, I wrote a blog on Word in Apple.  Who archived “My Miracle Message?” I’ve had similar problems with Microsoft on my PC, mysterious messages appearing, one being that my new PC computer was about to crash and my extended warranty didn’t cover me. My computer was saved by a technician in India Microsoft uses. It cost me $190 to save my computer.  Microsoft is getting better with my PC, but Apple doesn’t have the problem, so I’m told. I want you to be aware that for the first time I had used my new Apple for this purpose, my most important message was archived.  When I tried to download the Microsoft update, I received an error message and notice that I should contact Apple.  Tell Apple they are wrong.  If you intend on using it on the Internet, don’t buy an Apple.

My blog is political. Politicians are aware that one-on-one Internet communication is having an effect. The money they use to buy elections may not work anymore.  If we want the American people to decide who represents us, in the face of the Obama Administration efforts to limit the Internet and buy the election, it is important that we do what we can to promote one-on-one communication.

My Internet host is Bluehost and my format provider is WordPress.  This combination happens to be popular with entrepreneurs with something to sell on the Internet. Most, if not all of the comments I receive are from entrepreneurs.  This, in and of itself, gives you important information upon which to base the future.  

We receive the media message that Obama, in the last quarter alone, received $80 million in campaign funds, and that he plans to raise a billion dollars. Obviously, Obama plans to buy his reelection. We don’t receive from the media the message I bring you.

Obama’s Christianity includes “collective salvation.” Obama gives his blessing to the Muslim Brotherhood.   I tell you that I’m not Christian, and at the same time that Jesus is my savior and redeemer, also that I believe in human values without allusion to supernatural revelation. We have the Obama/Muslim Brotherhood choice, the Tea Party choice, the Old-Guard Republican choice, and the entrepreneur choice. When I decided to create my own domain on the Internet, at a cost of $12.95 per month, how could I expect to receive any attention without a dime spent for promotion? I know nothing about promoting an Internet site.  There are millions of Internet sites.  I was a voice in the wilderness. How did these thousands of entrepreneur communicators find my site? 

Under the definition of soul in Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary we read, the immaterial essence, the animating principle, or actuating cause of an individual life; the spiritual principle embodied in human beings, all rational and spiritual beings, or their universe—can you say, with any credibility at all, that there is no connection in our lives with the universe? In Cosmos and Psyche distinguished philosopher and cultural historian Richard Tarnas demonstrates the existence of an astonishingly consistent correspondence between the planetary alignments and the archetypal patterns of human history.

Jesus said, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” If we are humanly conscious, if we are God’s children, we are aware of universal consciousness, which is not in heaven.  It is not anywhere; it is a state of being.  Where is your preacher?  Where is your rabbi? Where is your terrorist jihad?  Are you in La La Land?  In “My Miracle Message” blog, backed by thousands of entrepreneur comments, which has now been mysteriously archived, I give you my answers.

Fortunately, “My Miracle Message” is in my P.C. Word file. Read it and learn.

“My life had been like trying to climb a greased pole.  The truth is stranger than fiction. This message is to all who share my early life experience.  Ask and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find (Mt. 7:7).”

“My bigger than life calling came in the county law library shortly before my departure.  I was there to study the Constitution, my rights under it, and the legal procedure for taking the IRS to court. I blamed Uncle Sam for all of my woes. When I read the Constitution and U. S. Code sections concerning it, I felt that voices of the past were speaking to me. I felt a bigger than life calling. This was a first sign.”

“On Good Friday, 1975, said to be the day Christ died on the cross, I cut from the heard, the pioneer seeking to find my true identity.  The first two years of my  reborn life were spent on a sailboat I named Bold Venture, sailing in the Bermuda Triangle, where many people have vanished and never a trace of what happened.  When I left my life at sea, I’d saved seven lives, including my own, from a watery grave.  Christ is said to be his brother’s keeper. This was a second sign.”

“It is said that God works in mysterious ways. I’ve come to believe that Jesus is my savor and redeemer, although I’m not a Christian. The religion turns me off.  I’m not against believers, but I’m too independent for the dogmas and doctrines.  I look within for my answers.”

“After I left my life at sea, I took a job in Portland, Oregon, where I met Karen.  The moment we met I felt as though I were meeting an old friend I’d not seen in a long time.  Our first date was a hike to nearby Multnomah Falls, unbelievably, on May 18, 1980, the day Mount St. Helens erupted, not 50 miles from Multnomah Falls.  A third sign, after the calamity my life had been, hope and renewal. It’s legendary.”

“Just before the sky in the northwest turned black and we hurried back to the car, Karen had blurted out, ‘I want ours to be a platonic relationship.’ She says it just ‘popped out.’  Fifteen years later I read in an astrological compatibility report, under Your Relationship with Karen, “The platonic thing was there from the start, and there is a sense of the brotherly and sisterly between you.”  Was Karen’s appearance the luck of the draw? How could this be? Karen is heaven sent. It happened after I looked within and discovered who I really was. I got on my path of destiny, symbolized  by the ancient Chinese yin and yang. This is a fourth sign.” 

“I was born with Aquarius on the rise.  In The Rising Sign by Jeanne Avery, under Aquarius Rising, ‘When this sign is on the ascendant, the individual has a unique approach to life . . .He becomes the water-bearer by walking to the beat of a different drummer. He may be the person to bring back information that has been lost to civilization for centuries. The person with Aquarius on the rise can be very avant-garde. He is a forerunner in setting style, discovering new methods, and showing the rest of humanity the way. . .He is willing to let go of the trunk of the tree to walk out on the edge of a limb. He knows where the fruit grows and where the spotlight can hit.  He is not one to hide is light under a bushel.’”  

(Sidebar) I keep connecting the dots. Astrologer Avery reminds us that the number five in numerology represents freedom, change, and adventure. Curiosity and constant activity produce a resourceful, adaptable and versatile being always ready to take a chance.  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light to all that are in the house. (Mt. 5:15)

“In Astrologer’s Handbook, under Aquarius, ‘Individuals born under the sign of brotherhood and fraternity have as their symbol the water-bearer, who spills out to mankind the life-force and spiritual energy.’  Born with Aquarius  on the rise, this is a fifth sign.”

Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

What's wrong with this picture?

Posted on Israel National News-By INN Staff-On July 1, 2011:

“The MB has has tried to portray itself as moderate and democratic.  But at its core it is anything but. The Brotherhood is a wolf in sheep‘s clothing. 

Israel National News thanks StandWithUs for helping bring the Muslim Brotherhood to our readers in its own words:

The Muslim Brotherhood logo fits its motto:

 “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur‘an is our law.  

Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope. Allahu akbar!” 

The Brotherhood‘s goal is to turn the world into an Islamist empire. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt in 1928, is a revolutionary fundamentalist movement to restore the caliphate and strict shariah (Islamist) law in Muslim lands and, ultimately, the world. Today, it has chapters in 80 countries. “It is in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” -Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna

The Brotherhood wants America to fall. It tells followers to be “patient” because America “is heading towards its demise.” The U.S. is an infidel that “does not champion moral and human values and cannot  lead humanity.”-Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Badi, Sept. 2010

The Brotherhood claims western democracy is “corrupt,””unrealistic” and “false.” -Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Mahdi Akef

The Brotherhood calls for jihad against “the Muslim‘s real enemies, not only Israel but also the United States. Waging jihad against both of these infidels is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.” -Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Badi, Sept. 2010

The Brotherhood assassinated Anwar Sadat in 1981 for making peace with the hated “Zionist entity.” It also assassinated Egypt‘s prime minister in 1948 and attempted to assassinate President Nasser in 1954.

Hamas is a “wing of the Muslim Brotherhood,”according to the Hamas Charter, Chapter 2. The Charter calls for the murder of Jews, the “obliteration” of Israel and its replacement with an Islamist theocracy.

The Brotherhood supports Hezbollah‘s war against the Jews. Brotherhood leader Mahdi Akef declared he was “prepared to send 10,000 jihad fighters immediately to fight at the side of Hezbollah” during Hezbollah‘s war against Israel in 2006.

The Brotherhood glorified Osama bin Laden and mourned his death. Osama is “in all certainty, a mujahid (heroic fighter), and I have no doubt  in his sincerity in resisting the occupation, close to Allah on high.” -Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Mahdi Akef, Nov. 2007 

The Brotherhood “sanctioned martyrdom operations in Palestine....They do not have bombs, so they turn themselves into bombs. This is a necessity.” -Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, Dec. 17, 2010 

The Brotherhood advocates violent jihad: The “change that the [Muslim] nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life,” said Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Badi in a September 2010 sermon.¹¹ Major terrorists came out of the Muslim Brotherhood, including bin Laden‘s deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (mastermind of the 9/11 attacks).

The Brotherhood advocates a deceptive strategy in democracies: appear moderate and use existing institutions to gain power. “The civilizational-jihadist process...is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging‘ its miserable house...so that it is eliminated and God‘s religion is made victorious overall other religions,” reads a US Muslim Brotherhood 1991 document. It believes it can conquer Europe peacefully: “After having been expelled twice, Islam will be victorious and reconquer Europe....I am certain that this time, victory will be won not by the sword but by  preaching and [Islamic] ideology.” -Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi, “Fatwa,” 2003

The Brotherhood uses democracy, but once in power it will replace democracy with fundamentalist shariah law because it is the “true democracy.” “The final, absolute message from heaven contains all the values which the secular world claims to have invented....Islam and its values antedated the West by founding true democracy.” -Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Mahdi Akef, Nov. 2007 

The Brotherhood‘s view of women‘s rights is to subjugate and segregate women: The ideal society would include “a campaign against ostentation in dress and loose behaviour...segregation of male and female students; privatemeetings between men and women, unless within the permitted degrees of relationship, to be counted as a crime for which both will be  censured...prohibition of dancing and other such pastimes.” -Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna, “Five Tracts”

The Brotherhood supports Female Genital Mutilation: “[the Americans] wage war on Muslim leaders, the traditions of its faith and its ideas. They even wage war against female circumcision, a practice current in 36 countries, which has been prevalent since the time of the Pharaohs.” -Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Mahdi Akef, 2007

The Brotherhood will not treat non-Muslim minorities, such as Coptic Christians, as equals. “Allah‘s word will reign supreme and the infidels‘ word will be inferior.” -Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Badi, Sept. 2010 

The Brotherhood refuses to commit to continuing the Israel-Egypt peace treaty.  Muslim Brotherhood leaders have said that “as far as the movement is concerned, Israel is a Zionist entity occupying holy Arab and Islamic lands...and we will get rid of it no matter how long it takes.” -Former Muslim Brotherhood Supreme Guide Muhammed Mahdi Akef, 2005 and 2007 

The Brotherhood has anti-Semitic roots. It supported the Nazis, organized mass demonstrations against the Jews with slogans promoting ethnic cleansing like “Down with the Jews!”and “Jews get out of Egypt and Palestine!” in 1936; carried out a violent pogrom against Egypt‘s Jews in November 1945; and made sure that Nazi collaborator and Palestinian Mufti al- Husseini was granted asylum in Egypt in 1946.

The Brotherhood remains virulently anti-Semitic.”Today the Jews are not the Israelites praised by Allah, but the descendants of the Israelites who defied His word. Allah was angry with them and turned them into monkeys and pigs....There is no doubt that the battle in which the Muslims overcome the Jews [will come]....In that battle the Muslims will fight the Jews and kill them.” -Muslim Brotherhood Spiritual leader Yusuf al-Qaradawi”

What's great and refreshing about this picture?

Posted on Politico-By SCOTT WONG-On July 5, 2011:

“Six months into their first term, a band of Republican freshmen are fed up with the tortoise pace of the Senate and have resorted to guerrilla warfare to take on the establishment — and it’s causing headaches for leaders of both parties.

Sen. Ron Johnson, who unseated Democratic Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold last November, mounted a protest last week against Democrats’ failure to produce a budget — an effort that culminated Tuesday when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was forced to yank a bipartisan Libya resolution from the floor.

Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky firebrand and tea-party favorite, warned this weekend he would filibuster in an attempt to pry open closed-door debt ceiling negotiations.

And a key reason that the Senate is in session during what should be the chamber’s Fourth of July recess? Freshman GOP senators, including Johnson, Paul, Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Marco Rubio of Florida, threatened a recess revolt that would force both parties to take an embarrassing vote to skip town.

The new breed of troublemaker creates problems for Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. They must now deal with an unpredictable, angst-ridden crowd uninterested in the pay-your-dues tradition of the Senate at the same time they’re engaged in tense negotiations over the debt ceiling.

“I think different freshmen have different challenges in adjusting,” said Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), who was elected last November to fill Joe Biden’s old Senate seat. “I’ve watched as a number of freshman senators — Paul and Sen. Johnson would be examples — decide to throw their oars in the water and express their frustration about particular amendments, procedural points and not being heard by throwing up a hand and stopping the work.

“Pretty quickly that seems to teach a harsh lesson about upsetting not just the other caucus but your own caucus,” Coons said.

Last week, Johnson didn’t bother giving his GOP colleagues a heads up before he stormed onto the Senate floor and warned that he would block all Senate business until Democrats started debating the budget.

Surprised Republican leaders, while sympathetic to the Wisconsinite’s concerns, pulled the rookie aside and urged him to take a less draconian approach, sources said. The plastics manufacturer and political neophyte quickly relented, but he warned he’d object again to routine “unanimous consent” requests if Democrats didn’t change their ways.

He made good on his word Thursday night, objecting to Reid’s request to move directly to a vote on a resolution by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and John McCain (R-Aiz.) that would authorize limited U.S. military operations in Libya. And he issued new threats in a TV interview Tuesday morning even as fellow GOP senators were whipping a cloture vote on the Libya measure.

By that afternoon, the entire 47-member Republican caucus had vowed to vote against the Libya resolution, saying the Senate should focus only on budget matters this week. With the resolution doomed to fail, Reid canceled the vote, saying he and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) agreed that “the most important thing for us to focus on this week is the budget.”

But Reid quickly scheduled a separate vote Wednesday on a nonbinding resolution expressing that millionaires should make “a more meaningful contribution to the deficit-reduction effort,” a proposal panned by Ayotte as a “political stunt on behalf of the majority leader.”

“The United States Senate has not passed a budget in over two years. And I’ve certainly understood how broken Washington is,” Johnson told reporters after Reid scrapped the Libya vote. “The Senate is basically fiddling as America goes bankrupt.”

Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) is expected to preview his fiscal 2012 budget blueprint to his caucus on Wednesday. But he’s reluctant to have the committee or full Senate take up the proposal until a bipartisan deal is reached to raise the debt ceiling before the U.S. reaches its legal borrowing limit on Aug. 2. That explanation hasn’t appeased Johnson, a committee member.

“Last week was a warning,” Johnson later told POLITICO. “I was putting the Senate on notice that unless they start taking these issues up, I’ll withhold my consent. I will make it very difficult to operate the Senate.”

Johnson hasn’t been the only one stirring the pot. In a C-SPAN interview over the weekend, Paul, a co-founder of the Senate Tea Party Caucus, said he would mount a filibuster until the chamber began addressing the nation’s debt crisis. He cheered Reid’s decision to scrap the Libya vote.

“Last week a group of us said, ‘No more.’ We do not want to discuss anything else until we start discussing solutions for the debt, solutions for the looming debt crisis. We said, ‘No more,’” Paul said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “Today, we will win and draw attention back to the debt ceiling. We’re not going to talk about anything until we resolve this.”

But Paul and other freshmen have been putting McConnell in a tricky spot as he and House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) try to hash out a deal with the White House on raising the debt limit. Paul, Johnson, Rubio and nine other senators who have signed the so-called Cap, Cut, Balance pledge, said they’ll vote to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling only if Congress passes a balanced budget amendment and other significant spending reforms first.

GOP aides said that McConnell backs a constitutional amendment requiring the government to balance its books each year and that the minority leader is pushing for a vote on the proposal the week of July 18.

But McConnell has resisted efforts to link the amendment with a debt hike, especially given the reality the amendment lacks the 67 votes needed for passage. That position was evident during a GOP news conference McConnell led last week: More than a dozen senators lined up to promote the balanced budget amendment, but not one mentioned the Cut, Cap, Balance pledge.

“Would I prefer that all members of my party felt the same way ... that I do about the Cut, Cap and Balance pledge? The answer is yes,” said Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), another co-founder of the Tea Party Caucus and a staunch supporter of the pledge. “That said, I’m happy with any degree of enthusiasm that there is for the balanced budget amendment, and anything that will help move it forward is a good thing.”

Many of these freshman hope to rally support for their proposal this week, something that would not have been possible had Reid not cancelled the Fourth of July recess — the first time that’s happened since the Watergate scandal.

Rubio, another tea party darling, who defeated favored Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in last year’s GOP primary and went on to win the Senate seat, was one of a handful of freshman who joined senior Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) in pressuring Reid last week not to adjourn.

“This debt thing didn’t sneak up on us. We’ve known about it for months,” Rubio told POLITICO. “I’m just shocked that it’s taken this long to even begin to have this level of anxiety about it. This lack of sense of urgency with regard to these issues is trouble, startling, so I hope that will start to change.

“It’s a good thing that we’ll have to be here,” he added. “It’s a better thing if we actually do something while we’re here.”

Posted on FoxNews.com-On July 3, 2011:

“Sen. John Cornyn warned President Obama on Sunday to not even consider interpreting the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment to bypass Congress and raise the debt limit without its approval. 

“That’s crazy talk. It’s not acceptable for Congress and the president not to do their job and to say somehow the president has the authority then to basically do this by himself,” Cornyn, R-Texas, a former judge on the Texas Supreme Court, told “Fox News Sunday.” 

The proposal that Obama re-interpret Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment to justify raising the $14.3 trillion debt limit has been gaining traction in Democratic circles since Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner told reporters that the Constitution’s language could support the president’s raising the limit without congressional approval.

‘The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for the payments of pension and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion’—this is the important thing—‘shall not be questioned,’ “ Geithner read during a discussion hosted by Politico in May.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and others on Capitol Hill reportedly acknowledged that the idea is percolating, and had been presented to the president. 

“It’s certainly worth exploring. I think it needs a little more exploration and study,” he said during a conference call with reporters held Friday.

Without addressing efforts to invoke the Constitution, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Sunday the president and congressional negotiators shouldn’t even be discussing a debt deal privately.

“Congress is the constitutional place for this to be decided,” said Sessions, who is the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee. 

Asked during a press conference Wednesday whether the debt limit was constitutional, the president glossed over the question, saying, “I’m not a Supreme Court justice, so I’m not going to put my constitutional law professor hat on here.”

Posted on CNSNews.com-By Patrick Goodenough-On July 05, 2011:

“(CNSNews.com) – Six months ahead of the scheduled withdrawal of the last U.S. forces from Iraq, June brought a somber reminder of an earlier time as well as concerns that the months leading up to the exit could produce a fresh increase in violence as insurgents and their supporters maneuver for influence.

U.S. Ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey on Saturday accused Iranian security agencies of supplying lethal weapons to Shi’ite groups in Iraq but said the U.S. would not be intimidated by those behind the attacks.

Fifteen U.S. troops died in Iraq in June, more than in any single month since June 2009, according to a CNSNews.com database of U.S. military casualties in Iraq since the war began in 2003.

Moreover, 14 of those 15 deaths were combat-related. If that category of fatalities alone is taken into account, then June marked the deadliest month for U.S. personnel since August 2008, a time when the steadily dropping monthly death toll was heading towards single digits, in the aftermath of the troop “surge” that went into full effect a year earlier (see table).

There are currently some 47,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, down from a peak of around 170,000 at the height of the surge. December 31 is the deadline for their departure, although new Defense Secretary Leon Panetta during his confirmation process told a Senate committee he fully expects Baghdad to ask for some troop presence to remain beyond that date.

No formal request has yet been made public, however, and U.S. Forces-Iraq deputy Lt. Gen. Frank G. Helmick during a press roundtable on June 22 stated clearly that “our last order is to go to zero.”

Still, Jeffrey on Saturday reaffirmed that the U.S. would be willing, if asked, to keep some troops in Iraq into 2012.

Helmick said that attacks on U.S. and Iraqi forces and Iraqi civilians have dropped fourfold since 2007, when they averaged some 400 each week. But he also acknowledged concern about an uptick in attacks in the south in recent months.

The U.S. combat-related deaths in June took place in four areas – Baghdad; Wasit, a province located southeast of the capital; Najaf, a key Shi’ite province south of Baghdad; and Diyala, the province located to the northeast of Baghdad and stretching to the Iranian border.

Of the 14 fatalities, nine were attributed to rocket attacks and five to improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

The worst single attack occurred on June 6 – a rocket attack on a base near Baghdad airport that killed five soldiers assigned to the 1^st Infantry Division at Fort Riley, Kansas.

They were Spc. Emilio J. Campo Jr., of Madelia, Minn.; Spc. Michael B. Cook Jr., of Middletown, Ohio; Spc. Christopher B. Fishbeck of Victorville, Calif.; Spc. Robert P. Hartwick of Rockbridge, Ohio; and Pfc. Michael C. Olivieri of Chicago, Ill.

A sixth soldier injured in that attack, Spc. Marcos Cintron of Orlando, Fla., died at a medical facility in Boston on June 16.

The next deadliest attack took place on June 29, when three soldiers assigned to 2^nd Squadron, 3^rd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood were killed in a rocket assault on a base at Badrah in Wasit province, near the Iranian border. The Pentagon named them as Capt. Matthew Nielson of Jefferson, Iowa; Capt. David Van Camp of Wheeling, W.Va.; and Spc. Robert Tenney Jr. of Warner Robins, Ga.

On June 8, Pfc. Matthew England of Gainesville, Mo., died when enemy forces attacked his unit with an IED in Najaf province.

On June 13, Staff Sgt. Nicholas Bellard of El Paso, Texas and Sgt. Glenn Sewell of Live Oak, Texas were killed in an IED attack in Wasit province.

On June 26, Staff Sgt. Russell Proctor of Oroville, Calif. and Pfc. Dylan Johnson of Tulsa, Okla. died of wounds sustained in an IED attack in Diyala province.

Wasit no longer quiet:

The violence in Wasit has been an unusual development. According to the CNSNews.com database, Wasit was among the quietest provinces in Iraq over the full period of hostilities that began with the March 2003 invasion.

The very first combat death reported in the province, which stretches southeast of Baghdad to the border with Iran, was in June 2006, when Sgt. Daniel Crabtree of Canton, Ohio was killed in an IED attack on his Humvee.

Wasit was handed over to full Iraqi control in October 2008, and no further U.S. combat deaths were reported there until November 2009, when Staff Sgt. Briand Williams of Sparks, Ga. died from injuries sustained when insurgents attacked his unit with small arms fire.

Two U.S. soldiers were killed in Wasit during 2010 – Maj. Ronald Daniel Culver Jr. of Shreveport, La. died in an IED attack in May, and Pvt. David Finch of Bath Springs, Tenn. was killed by sniper fire in December.

In the first six months of this year, however, seven American soldiers have been killed in hostile circumstances in Wasit – compared to four over the entire 2003-2010 period.

Apart from the five deaths in two attacks in June, the remaining two combat fatalities were 1^st Lt. Omar Vasquez of Hamilton, N.J. and Pvt. Antonio Stiggins of Rio Rancho, N.M., who died of wounds sustained in an IED attack on their unit on April 22.

Wasit was also the location of the one non-combat U.S. death reported during June. The Pentagon said the circumstances surrounding the June 26 death of Sgt. Matthew Gallagher of North Falmouth, Mass. were under investigation.

Iranian hand:

The main threat facing U.S. forces as the withdrawal draws nearer appears to be coming from Iranian-linked Shi’ite groups.

One such organization, Kata’ib Hezbollah, claimed responsibility for the June 6 rocket attack in Baghdad that killed six.

An unnamed U.S. military official quoted by the Associated Press said the type of weapon used in the June 29 rocket attack near the border with Iran also bore the hallmarks of a Shi’ite militia closely linked to Iran.

The U.S. State Department designated Kata’ib Hezbollah as a foreign terrorist organization in mid-2009, accusing it of posing a threat to stability in Iraq and of responsibility for numerous attacks against U.S., Iraqi and other targets since 2007.

Other Iranian-linked Shi’ite extremist groups active in Iraq are Asaib al-Haq (“League of the Righteous”) and the Promise Day Brigade.

Jeffrey told reporters at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday that Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asaib al-Haq “are basically nothing more than thuggish clones of their IRGC-Qods Force masters,” referring to the notorious Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ unit responsible for operations abroad.

Jeffrey accused the IRGC-Qods Force of providing “significantly more lethal weapons systems” to groups inside Iraq.

Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi was quoted by the official IRNA news agency Saturday as dismissing as “baseless” U.S. claims about Iranian involvement in fatal attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq.

Vahidi is himself a former head of the IRGC-Qods Force and in that capacity is wanted by the Argentinian authorities on suspicion of involvement in the 1994 suicide truck bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, in which 85 people were killed.”

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on NewsMax.com-By Ronald Kessler-On July 4, 2011:

“After reopening Justice Department investigations into use of CIA enhanced interrogation, Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. admitted that he had not read the memos of his own department’s lawyers explaining why no criminal laws had been violated.

Now, John Dunham, the assistant U.S. attorney in Connecticut assigned by Holder to re-investigate the cases, has concluded that the lawyers who closed the case were correct, and no criminal charges are warranted.

The re-investigation subjected former CIA officers to the chilling prospect of going to jail. As seven former CIA directors who served under Republicans and Democrats have said publicly, the probe sent a message to CIA officers that if they take risks in defense of their country, they may suffer consequences.

“If criminal investigations closed by career prosecutors during one administration can so easily be reopened at the direction of political appointees in the next, declinations of prosecution will be rendered meaningless,” the former directors wrote to President Barack Obama.

Such actions create “an atmosphere of continuous jeopardy,” they wrote.

As former Director of Central Intelligence Jim Woolsey, who signed the letter, told me, “For the attorney general to reopen those in the way that he has, says very clearly to CIA officers that, even if your boss tells you to do something and shows you that he has Justice Department support, and even if you’re investigated and cleared, it’s not over.”

This is not the first time Holder has embarrassed himself while pursuing a clearly partisan political agenda:

• Holder said he opposed Arizona’s illegal immigration legislation but had not read the new law.
• Holder decided to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in U.S. District Court in New York without asking the police or the FBI whether that would jeopardize the safety of New Yorkers. In the face of bipartisan congressional opposition, he later had to back down.
• Holder testified that he believes the CIA’s enhanced interrogation methods such as waterboarding constitute “torture,” but he said he had not read classified reports that describe what those techniques entail.

If Alberto Gonzales, President George W. Bush’s attorney general, had engaged in such amateurish conduct, the press would have run him out of town. Indeed, it pounced on him over lesser fumbling, and he had to resign.

In a sign that Holder has not learned anything from his missteps, he is continuing an investigation by Dunham into the deaths of two detainees, despite the fact that two U.S. attorneys have already reviewed the cases and declined prosecution.

Just as the patriots who created America 235 years ago today took risks, CIA officers and FBI agents risk their lives every day to ensure that we remain the land of the free. Placing CIA officers in jeopardy for clearly political purposes is an affront to the cause of justice and undermines the safety of us all.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On July 3, 2011:

“Still more White House officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, have ties to an effort funded by billionaire George Soros to push for a new, “progressive” U.S. Constitution.

WND previously reported how President Obama’s regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, maintained extensive ties to Soros’ funding, particularly with regard to a movement that openly seeks to create a “progressive” consensus on what the U.S. Constitution should provide by the year 2020.

Now, it has emerged that Lisa Brown, Obama’s staff secretary, served as executive director of the Soros-funded American Constitution Society, ACS, a progressive legal organization that was behind the Constitution scheme.

Brown’s White House responsibilities include managing the flow of information, advice and decision-making between staff members and Obama.

Also, Holder has been closely tied to the ACS, serving on the group’s board of directors and even keynoting their 10^thanniversary national convention earlier this month.

In 2008, Holder also keynoted their convention. At that event, he reportedly urged young lawyers to get involved in the liberal legal network, saying America would soon be “run by progressives.”

“The pendulum is starting to swing. America run by progressives. Really. It’s about to happen. So we’re going to be looking for people who share our values,” he stated, as captured in a YouTube video.

In April 2005, Sunstein opened up a conference at Yale Law School entitled “The Constitution in 2020,” which sought to change the nature and interpretation of the Constitution by that year.

The event was sponsored by Soros’ Open Society Institute and the Center for American Progress, which is led by John Podesta, who served as co-chair of Obama’s presidential transition team. Podesta’s center is said to be highly influential in helping to craft White House policy.

The Yale event on the Constitution was also sponsored by the ACS, which has been described as a group meant to counter the work of the Federalist Society, which has been at the forefront of the push for a more conservative judiciary since its launch in 1982.

The ACS is the main organization behind the movement to ensure a more “progressive” Constitution. It has received more that $2.2 million from Soros’ Open Society since 2002.

Brown, Obama’s staff secretary, wrote an entry on the blog for the “Constitution 2020” conference at Yale Law School in which she decried conservative interpretations of the Constitution.

She wrote: “Conservatives have captured the intellectual initiative in popular and even much elite discourse. Their success in framing and communicating fundamental conservative principles has contributed to real legal and political change over the last two decades. Will we allow narrow and sterile conservative interpretations of our Constitution’s vital principles and protections to reshape our national character and control our daily lives? Our answer, on this weekend and on every day of the coming years, is a resounding No.”

Like Holder, Sunstein, meanwhile, has spoken at numerous ACS events. For example, he was a speaker at a November 2003 symposium by the American Constitution Society of the University of Chicago School of Law, where Sunstein was a professor.

But it was the 2005 Yale event led in part by Sunstein that has been described as jumpstarting the movement for a“progressive” constitution.

Jeffrey Rosen, a law professor at George Washington University, wrote in a 2009 New York Times Magazine piece about so-called liberal justice: “If this new understanding of legal liberalism can be traced back to a single moment, it was in April 2005, when the American Constitution Society and other progressive groups sponsored a conference at Yale Law School called ‘The Constitution in 2020.’”

New 'Bill of Rights':

The Constitution 2020 movement has plotted a strategy for how liberal lawyers and judges might bring such a constitutional regime into being.

Just before his appearance at the Yale conference, Sunstein wrote a blog entry in which he explained he “will be urging that it is important to resist, on democratic grounds, the idea that the document should be interpreted to reflect the view of the extreme right-wing of the Republican Party.”

Sunstein has also been pushing for a new socialist-style U.S. bill of rights that, among other things, would constitutionally require the government to offer each citizen a “useful” job in the farms or industries of the nation.

According to Sunstein’s new bill of rights, the U.S. government can also intercede to ensure every farmer can sell his product for a good return while the government is granted power to act against “unfair competition” and monopolies in business.

All this and more is contained in Sunstein’s 2004 book, “The Second Bill of Rights: FDR’S Unfinished Revolution and Why We Need It More than Ever.”

In the work, Sunstein advanced the radical notion that welfare rights, including some controversial inceptions, be granted by the state. His inspiration for a new bill of rights came from President Roosevelt’s 1944 proposal of a different, new set of rights.

In his book, Sunstein laid out what he wants to become the new bill of rights, which he calls the Second Bill of Rights:

His mandates include the following:

• The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation; 

• The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; 

• The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return that will give him and his family a decent living;

• The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; 

• The right of every family to a decent home; 

• The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; 

• The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident and unemployment; 

• The right to a good education.

On one page in his book, Sunstein claims he is “not seriously arguing” his bill of rights be “encompassed by anything in the Constitution,” but on the next page he states that “if the nation becomes committed to certain rights, they may migrate into the Constitution itself.”

Later in the book, Sunstein argues that “at a minimum, the second bill should be seen as part and parcel of America’s constitutive commitments.”

Posted on The Washington Examiner-By Byron York, Chief Political Correspondent-On June 30, 2011:

“This is a disaster,” said Mark Miller, the Wisconsin Senate Democratic leader, in February after Republican Gov. Scott Walker proposed a budget bill that would curtail the collective bargaining powers of some public employees. Miller predicted catastrophe if the bill were to become law—a charge repeated thousands of times by his fellow Democrats, union officials, and protesters in the streets.

Now the bill is law, and we have some very early evidence of how it is working. And for one beleaguered Wisconsin school district, it’s a godsend, not a disaster.

The Kaukauna School District, in the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin near Appleton, has about 4,200 students and about 400 employees. It has struggled in recent times and this year faced a deficit of $400,000. But after the law went into effect, at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, school officials put in place new policies they estimate will turn that $400,000 deficit into a $1.5 million surplus. And it’s all because of the very provisions that union leaders predicted would be disastrous.

In the past, teachers and other staff at Kaukauna were required to pay 10 percent of the cost of their health insurance coverage and none of their pension costs. Now, they’ll pay 12.6 percent of the cost of their coverage (still well below rates in much of the private sector) and also contribute 5.8 percent of salary to their pensions. The changes will save the school board an estimated $1.2 million this year, according to board President Todd Arnoldussen.

Of course, Wisconsin unions had offered to make benefit concessions during the budget fight. Wouldn’t Kaukauna’s money problems have been solved if Walker had just accepted those concessions and not demanded cutbacks in collective bargaining powers?

“The monetary part of it is not the entire issue,” says Arnoldussen, a political independent who won a spot on the board in a nonpartisan election. Indeed, some of the most important improvements in Kaukauna’s outlook are because of the new limits on collective bargaining.

In the past, Kaukauna’s agreement with the teachers union required the school district to purchase health insurance coverage from something called WEA Trust—a company created by the Wisconsin teachers union. “It was in the collective bargaining agreement that we could only negotiate with them,” says Arnoldussen. “Well, you know what happens when you can only negotiate with one vendor.” This year, WEA Trust told Kaukauna that it would face a significant increase in premiums.

Now, the collective bargaining agreement is gone, and the school district is free to shop around for coverage. And all of a sudden, WEA Trust has changed its position. “With these changes, the schools could go out for bids, and lo and behold, WEA Trust said, ‘We can match the lowest bid,’” says Republican state Rep. Jim Steineke, who represents the area and supports the Walker changes. At least for the moment, Kaukauna is staying with WEA Trust, but saving substantial amounts of money.

Then there are work rules. “In the collective bargaining agreement, high school teachers only had to teach five periods a day, out of seven,” says Arnoldussen. “Now, they’re going to teach six.” In addition, the collective bargaining agreement specified that teachers had to be in the school 37 1/2 hours a week. Now, it will be 40 hours.

The changes mean Kaukauna can reduce the size of its classes—from 31 students to 26 students in high school and from 26 students to 23 students in elementary school. In addition, there will be more teacher time for one-on-one sessions with troubled students. Those changes would not have been possible without the much-maligned changes in collective bargaining.

Teachers’ salaries will stay “relatively the same,” Arnoldussen says, except for higher pension and health care payments. (The top salary is around $80,000 per year, with about $35,000 in additional benefits, for 184 days of work per year—summers off.) Finally, the money saved will be used to hire a few more teachers and institute merit pay.

It is impossible to overstate how bitter and ugly the Wisconsin fight has been, and that bitterness and ugliness continues to this day with efforts to recall senators and an unseemly battle inside the state Supreme Court. But the new law is now a reality, and Gov. Walker recently told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the measure will gain acceptance “with every day, week and month that goes by that the world doesn’t fall apart.”

In the Kaukauna schools, the world is not only not falling apart—it’s getting better.

I. Obama's labor union problem!

Posted on CNNMoney-By Nina Easton-On June 30, 2011:

“FORTUNE—How many ways are there to sidestep Congress’ refusal to make it easier for unions to organize? Let us count them. No, better than that, let’s add yet another example—this one involving Delta Airlines—to the growing pile of end-runs around Congress to reward a constituency this White House badly needs at its side in next year’s presidential election.

Labor leaders bet big on an Obama victory in 2008, hoping Congress would enact, and the Democratic president would sign, “card-check”—legislation designed to turn around labor’s sagging membership rolls by ending secret-ballot elections in organizing drives. But card-check has never been able to pass the Senate—not even when Democrats took over Congress in 2006. Instead, presidential appointees friendly to labor are deploying agency muscle.

The latest example is taking place largely out of sight—at the National Mediation Board, a little known agency that oversees union elections for railroads and airlines. Late in 2010, flight attendants for the nonunion Delta and its unionized Northwest Airlines (acquired in a 2008 merger) voted thumbs down on joining the Association of Flight Attendants. The board—where two of the three members are former top union officials—reacted by investigating Delta for “interference” in the election, prompted by union claims that the company circulated too much literature.

Another vote is likely to follow, even though this was the third time Delta (DAL, Fortune 500) flight attendants had rejected the union. And here’s another twist: The union lost that November vote even after the NMB changed the rules—in place since the 1930s—to require that only a majority of those who vote, not a majority of the workplace, needs to sign off on unionization.

“They voted under new rules that the unions asked for,” Delta CEO Richard Anderson told Fortune via email. “They’ve done everything asked of them. And because they said no to union representation, their decisions aren’t being respected; they’re being held hostage.”

Two years after the merger, flight attendants are still operating under different pay scales, and face restrictions on transferring to new locations or changing jobs.

On average, nonunion Delta flight attendants take home 12% more than their unionized Northwest counterparts (based on a typical 75-hour-a-month schedule); they enjoy more generous profit-sharing and retirement matches from the company; and they don’t have to dole out $43 a month in union dues. (Delta ranked No. 1 among airlines in this year’s Fortune Most Admired Companies list).

Delta’s pilots and flight superintendents have been unionized for decades, but 85% of its workforce is nonunion—and employees ranging from meteorologists to aircraft maintenance technicians have turned their backs on unions nine times since the merger.

The Delta flight attendant vote offers a telling microcosm of why labor is so desperate to change the rules to make it easier to organize. Only 11.9% of all workers (and only 6.9% of private sector employees) belonged to unions in 2010, compared to 20% in 1983. In the Delta vote, the flight attendants union not only lost 13,000 potential new members, but also 7,000 Northwest flight attendants already paying dues. That’s a big financial hit.

Changing the rules is a strategy also deployed by the higher-profile National Labor Relations Board, where the President opted for a recess appointment of union lawyer Craig Becker after it became clear his confirmation would be blocked by Republicans (backed by alarmed business groups), along with a handful of Democrats. Last week, NLRB proposed sweeping new rules cutting the amount of time available to employers to make their case prior to a union vote—an action the Chamber of Commerce rightly denounced as a “another not so cleverly disguised effort to restrict the ability of employers to express their views” during a union campaign.

That move followed an NLRB action in April accusing Washington-based Boeing (BA, Fortune 500) of illegally investing in a $2 billion assembly facility for its 787 Dreamliner in South Carolina, creating 1,000 new jobs in that right-to-work state. The NLRB claims Boeing is retaliating against striking machinists at its Washington state factories. But South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley more accurately describes the NLRB action as an unprecedented attempt to mandate where a private company can create jobs.

Earlier this month AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka President warned Democratic politicians that they had better deliver for organized labor if they want financial help in the 2012 elections. “For too long, we have been left after Election Day holding a canceled check waving it about—‘Remember us? Remember us? Remember us?’...Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a snootful of that shit,” Trumka declared. “If [political] leaders are not blocking the wrecking ball and advancing the interests of working families across the country, working people will not support them.”

It’s pretty obvious that’s the message the White House and its allies are hearing. But with the economy stuck in mud, it would make more sense to listen to these telling comments from Delta’s Anderson:

“Attacking American businesses directly undermines the administration’s stated goal of encouraging job creation and economic growth. Delta has created new jobs, but unfortunately this environment makes it difficult to predict what we will be able to do going forward.”
