Posted on CNSNews.com-By Susan Jones-On June 20, 2011:

“(CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration is directing federal immigration officials to use “prosecutorial discretion” in deciding which illegal aliens to detain and deport. 
 
The intention is to kick out the worst offenders and release the all the others – specifically victims of domestic violence and other crimes; witnesses to crimes; or people who are charged with minor traffic violations.

The apparent goal is to make the Secure Communities program more palatable to the states and activists who have criticized it.

But the changes to the Secure Communities program, announced last week, did not mollify critics who are calling for a moratorium. One group called the changes inadequate – amounting to “little more than lipstick on a pig.”

Secure Communities is a voluntary, three-year-old partnership between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and state and local law enforcement to identify and deport “criminal aliens.” Under Secure Communities, the fingerprints of every single individual arrested and booked into custody, including U.S. citizens, are checked against immigration records.

Immigration advocates say too many law-abiding undocumented immigrants are being deported under the program. They also say it encourages racial profiling and undermines public safety.
 
In a June 17 memo, ICE Director John Morton clarified that “it is against ICE policy to initiate removal proceedings against people who are victims or witnesses to a crime.” 
 


The same goes for people who are pursuing “legitimate” civil rights complaints and those who are involved in union organizing or who have legitimately complained to authorities about employment discrimination or housing conditions.

Morton said federal officials must “exercise all appropriate discretion on a case-by-case basis” when deciding how to handle such cases to avoid discouraging individuals from reporting crimes or standing up for their civil rights.

Unless the illegal alien poses national security concerns, has a “serious criminal history,” poses a threat to public safety, is a human rights violator or is involved in “significant” immigration fraud, “exercising favorable discretion, such as release from detention and deferral or a stay of removal generally will be appropriate,” Morton said.

ICE also announced it will establish an advisory committee—including police chiefs, sheriffs, prosecutors, court officials, ICE agents, and immigration advocates – to recommend policies that will stop the deportation of individuals charged with, but not convicted of, minor traffic offenses if they have no other criminal history.

Other changes include a new training program for state and local law enforcement agencies to explain how Secure Communities works with regard to civil rights; and a new complaint system for those who believe their civil rights have been violated.

ICE says Secure Communities is currently on track to be implemented nationwide by 2013 – and “refining the program”will allow ICE to focus its limited resources on the most serious criminals.

ICE noted that the money appropriated by Congress each year is enough to remove only a “limited number” of the more than 10 million illegal immigrants estimated to be in the country.

Critics want program scrapped:

So far, three states that joined the Secure Communities program have announced their intention to back out, even though ICE says state and local jurisdictions cannot opt out of Secure Communities.  Those states are New York, Illinois and California.

Massachusetts this month announced it would not join the program, although some Massachusetts communities have signed on.

Immigration advocacy groups say the changes announced on Friday do not go far enough: “These changes are nowhere near sufficient to address the well-documented problems with the Secure Communities program that has thus far torn apart countless families across the country by funneling people into a detention and deportation system rife with abuse,” said Andrea Black, executive director of Detention Watch Network. “The flaws with Secure Communities run so deep that the only solution is termination of the program.”

The National Immigration Project said it was “stunned by the inadequacy” of the changes. “ICE should listen to our elected leaders rather than ramming this federal program down the throats of localities that want nothing to do with it,” said Associate Director Paromita Shah.

“Secure Communities is a Frankenstein program – and no amount of makeup can help save our communities from its ravaging effects,” said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. “Secure Communities is a symbol of President Obama’s approach to immigration – more spin than substance. Nothing less than a cancellation of the program could move this administration towards repairing the trust it has lost with Latino communities across the country.”

“This Administration can no longer continue standing by Secure Communities,” said Margaret Huang, executive director of Rights Working Group. “By continuing to support the program, it is sanctioning racial profiling, eroding the trust local law enforcement agencies have built with communities of color and signaling to the international community that our immigration system does not respect the basic human rights of all persons in our country.”

The activists mentioned above are calling on the Obama administration to end all programs that create partnerships between state and local law enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security; halt the development of the vast data-gathering infrastructure on which Secure Communities depends; and allow state and local jurisdictions to opt-out of Secure Communities.”

The FBI Comes Out of the Closet
Source: Paul R. Hollrah - (6/21/11)

According to a June 12 article by Charlie Savage in the New York Times(1), “The Federal Bureau of Investigation is giving significant new powers to its roughly 14,000 agents, allowing them more leeway to search databases, go through household trash, or use surveillance teams to scrutinize the lives of people who have attracted their attention.

“The F.B.I. soon plans to issue a new edition of its manual, the Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide… The new rules add to several measures taken over the past decade to give agents more latitude as they search for signs of criminal or terrorist activity.”

According to the Times report, “The F.B.I. recently briefed several privacy advocates about the coming changes.  Among them, Michael German, a former F.B.I. agent who is now a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that it was unwise to further ease restrictions on agents’ power to use potentially intrusive techniques, especially if they lacked a firm reason to suspect someone of wrongdoing.

Mr. German is quoted as saying that, “Claiming additional authorities to investigate people only further raises the potential for abuse, pointing to complaints about the bureau’s surveillance of domestic political advocacy groups and mosques and to an inspector general’s findings in 2007 that the F.B.I. had frequently misused ‘national security letters’ which allow agents to obtain information like phone records without a court order.”

Valerie E. Caproni, the F.B.I. general counsel, is quoted as saying that the “bureau had fixed the problems with the national security letters and had taken steps to make sure they would not recur.  She also said the bureau, which does not need permission to alter its manual so long as the rules fit within broad guidelines issued by the attorney general (emphasis added), had carefully weighed the risks and the benefits of each change…

As the Times reports, “Some of the most notable changes apply to the lowest category of investigations, called an ‘assessment.’  The category, created in December 2008, allows agents to look into people and organizations ‘proactively’ and without firm evidence for suspecting criminal or terrorist activity.”

As an employee of a major oil company I was once assigned as a member of a six-man team of engineers, one member from each of six companies, whose job it was to prepare preliminary design, cost estimates, and economic justification for the construction of a major large-diameter products pipeline from Gulf Coast refineries to the Upper Midwest… a project then described as the world’s largest privately-financed construction project.  If constructed, the 300,000 barrel/day pipeline would carry refined products… gasoline, diesel fuel, home heating oil, and jet fuel… from refineries in Texas and Oklahoma to major terminals in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.  From those terminals, petroleum products would be distributed to a dozen other states.

Because it was necessary to approximate the daily throughput through the pipeline for purposes of determining the size (diameter) of the pipeline, each of the six companies involved in the study was required to nominate input volumes for each refined product at each of their refinery locations along the proposed route.  And since it would have been a violation of federal anti-trust laws for the companies to exchange actual sales volumes for the various markets, and since the throughput estimated by each company would ultimately determine each company’s share of capital investment and ownership, all of the throughput volumes nominated by each of the companies were a carefully calculated fiction… large enough to insure that the line capacity would be sufficient to handle market growth for the foreseeable future, but not so large as to make the initial cost of the system
uneconomic.

Prior to being assigned to the six-man task force I had participated in friendly penny-ante poker games on perhaps a dozen occasions.  I had never before been involved in a multi-billion dollar poker game, which is essentially what we were doing as representatives of our respective companies.

As the project proceeded and the first iteration of the study was finalized, each of the task force members returned to their companies to develop their respective IRRs (Internal Rate of Return), allowing each of the companies to assess their relative position in the project.  And when each of the companies had reassessed their strategies… increasing or decreasing projected volumes so as to increase or decrease their share of the required investment… the task force was reconvened for the second iteration.

As this process was repeated through at least three iterations in ground floor offices in a building in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma, we were tipped off by the janitorial staff that men in suits and ties were collecting our waste paper each evening.  It didn’t take long for us to figure out that it was either the FBI or lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s office who were collecting and studying our discarded waste paper, trying to find evidence of anti-trust violations.

Even though our internal controls and practices were designed to avoid any possibility of illegal or anti-competitive information sharing, to the outsider… or to the FBI… what we were doing may have “appeared” to be anti-competitive.  So, in an effort to escape the prying eyes of federal agents we were provided with office space in what appeared to be an old brick school building or county courthouse in Independence, a small town in southeastern Kansas.  It was in that building that we completed our final iteration of the joint venture… the iteration which was finally adopted by the six company coalition.

On the day that we completed our work and each member of the task force was given two complete Xerox copies of the final study, I drove south on US Route 75 through Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and south from there to our corporate offices in Tulsa.

As I reentered my office for the first time in many weeks, dropped my briefcase, a box of files, and my two copies of the final study onto my desk, I barely had time to remove my suit jacket before two FBI agents entered my office with subpoena in hand.  They had apparently followed me all the way from Independence, Kansas.

I spent nearly a week making Xerox copies of an entire file cabinet of project files… most of it reams of handwritten calculations that would have meaning to no one but me… before turning it all over to lawyers for the Department of Justice.  When teams of lawyers had combed through the six sets of files and found no evidence of anti-trust activity, the project was given a clean bill of health by the Department of Justice.

But that was forty-five years ago, in an era when Justice Department lawyers and the FBI needed the approval of senior-level appointees in the Department of Justice to engage in warrantless searches.  The far less restrictive investigative powers announced by the FBI on June 12, 2011 require no such senior level approval.

And while the Bush Administration made good use of the Patriot Act in fighting the War on Terror, much to the displeasure of the radical left, it is when leftist regimes find themselves in control of borderline law enforcement tools that enforcement tends to overlap into the realm of domestic political activity and freedom of expression is jeopardized.  It was true of Nazi Party rule in Germany during the 1930s and ‘40s, it was true of successive totalitarian regimes in Soviet Russia during most of the 20th century, and it is just as true in the early 21st century as the Obama regime engages in politically expedient enforcement of the law.

Since leftist regimes can always be expected to ignore caution signals or stop signs as they move briskly across the line to violate the civil rights of law abiding citizens, the American people would be well advised to keep a wary eye on Obama’s political police.  If we can’t expect the Obama regime to prosecute members of the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters outside a Philadelphia polling place, when acts of intimidation were caught on video tape, and if the Obama regime can simply ignore a federal court order requiring the Interior Department to lift an illegal ban on oil and gas exploration in the Gulf of Mexico, then what laws can we expect them to enforce… or not enforce?

Posted on The Daily Caller-By Neil Munro-Updated on June 20, 2011:

“Centrist and right-of-center national security experts reacted with contempt to Attorney General Eric Holder’s claim at a legal convention that the courts are the nation’s “most effective terror-fighting weapon.”

“That’s utter nonsense … it is simply lunatic,” said Ralph Peters, military analyst, author and former soldier. In the war against the jihadis, he said, the courts “have been totally ineffective when they’re not outright destructive.”

“He’s unconsciously shilling for his own profession,” said Michael Rubin, a Middle East expert at the American Enterprise Institute.

“Holder, like many ambitious bureaucrats, wants to build a bureaucratic empire … [and] by doing so, he will get Americans killed.”

On Sunday, Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell added his voice to the criticism. “The attorney general said the other night our biggest weapon in the war on terror was the U.S. civilian court system,” he said on CBS’ Face The Nation. “ I don’t know what planet he’s living on.”

Holder’s declaration came in a Thursday speech to hundreds of progressive lawyers, advocates, judges and students gathered at the American Constitution Society’s annual gala. “I know that – in distant countries, and within our own borders – there are people intent on, and actively plotting to, kill Americans,” he told his legal peers in the enthusiastic audience. “Victory and security will not come easily, and they won’t come at all if we adhere to a rigid ideology, adopt a narrow methodology, or abandon our most effective terror-fighting weapon – our Article III [civil] court system,” he declared to much applause.

Holder delivered his speech several months after Congress and public opinion defeated his two-year political campaigns to transfer five captured Al Qaeda leaders from the military’s legal commissions to the legal profession’s civilian courts, and to close the military’s Guantanamo Bay terrorist detention facility.

At the lawyers’ convention, Holder called for an advocacy campaign that would give civil lawyers the lead role in the struggle against the jihadis. “We cannot – and we must not – allow the public safety concerns that all Americans share to divide us … we must ensure that the rule of law … must be recognized as the foundation for our continued security,” he said.

“Achieving this goal is our collective responsibility. And it must become our common cause,” he declared to his fellow lawyers.

“Holder thinks that lawyers should run even military operations, which has led us to a world where his prosecutors and investigators think it is their job to second-guess time-pressured military and intelligence decisions,” said John Yoo, a lawyer in George W. Bush’s administration who developed rules for treating jihadis captured by soldiers. One consequence of that overreach, he wrote in an article for the June 19 Washington Post, was the death in 2005 of 19 U.S. soldiers after they released an Afghan shepherd rather than hold him as a prisoner. The shepherd guided Taliban fighters back to the soldiers’ location, and 19 soldiers were killed in the resulting gunfight.

In his speech, Holder did not address the failure of the civilian legal system in 2001 to stop the 9/11 jihadis. In the months before they destroyed the Twin Towers and killed 3,000 Americans, the 19 Middle Eastern jihadis walked past U.S. customs officers, immigration officials, traffic cops, and airport security guards.

Nor did Holder acknowledge the military’s prominent role in the campaign against overseas jihadis since 2001. The jihadis, who are motivated by their interpretation of the 1,400 year-old Islamic ideology, have attacked U.S. and its allies in Africa, Europe and Asia, usually from regions in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen or Indonesia where American law and lawyers are not welcomed.

The U.S. military does successfully disrupt and defeat many Al Qaeda plans to attack the United States. However, lawyers can only act after evidence is gathered, said Rubin. “If Holder was the point man on the war against terrorism, then many more Americans would have to die to defeat our enemies,” he added.

“We’re not going to be able to arrest our way out of the problems overseas,” said Frank Cilluffo, director of George Washington University’s Homeland Security Policy Institute.

Holder, who heads the Department of Justice, also avoided any mention of the successful killing in May of Osama bin Laden at his Pakistani villa by 23 U.S. soldiers, an interpreter and a dog. The killing came 10 years after President George W. Bush had declared “whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done,” and it was directed by Holder’s boss, President Barack Obama, who announced May 2 that “justice is done.”

“If Osama bin Laden were alive today I think he would say our biggest weapon was U.S. Navy SEALs,” McConnell said on Sunday.

Since 2009, Obama has increased the use of missile-armed drones to kill jihadis in countries not at war with the United States. The drones have killed numerous jihadis — and, inadvertently, civilians — in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia.

Holder did concede, in passing, that the military contributes to the nation’s defense against jihadis. “Without civilian law enforcement and Article III courts, our ability … to punish those who have – and who intend to – harm Americans would be seriously damaged,” he said. The phrase, “seriously damaged,” implies that some anti-jihad ability would survive if the civil court system had no role.

There are few mainstream advocates, and no draft legislation, that would exclude civil law-enforcement and the civil-courts from the task of countering U.S.-based jihadis, such as the jihadi who tried to explode a car-bomb in New York in May 2010.

But Holder’s ambitious agenda has prompted a push-back from diverse advocates on the right and center-right. McConnell argued Sunday that foreign jihadis caught in the United States should be put under military law, not Holder’s legal sector.

“Foreigners are not entitled to be tried in the U.S. court system,” he said on the CBS interview. McConnell cited the arrest of two immigrants from the Middle East who are now facing jihad-related charges in his home state of Kentucky, and said “they got into this country as a mistake.”

“The nation has begun to ‘find our footing once again,’” Yoo said in a statement to TheDC. “But there is still much more damage that [Holder’s] Justice Department has done — such as the ongoing persecution of CIA officers who produced the intelligence that led to the killing of Osama bin Laden — which can only be reversed once this Attorney General has left office,” said Yoo.

Holders’ speech was “a nonsensical crowd-pleasing statement to a roomful of lawyers,” said Peters. “Politicians routinely tell their audiences that nobody is more important,” he said, and they do win their applause because “the human capacity for self-deception is enormous, whether it is in the local rotary club, or in a roomful of soldiers or of assembly-line workers.”

Such “pandering is selfish … [because] Holder gets support from these guys and these guys get to bask in the warm glow of his flattery … That is business-as-usual in Washington,” he said.”

I’d been blogging on the Internet for years and unimpressed by the results.  I decided to try my own domain.  “My Miracle Message” -  http://www.mymiraclemessage.com/?p=75 – “?p=75” brought a flood of comments, and all positive. Someone accidentally found my blog among the millions and informed others. My Miracle Message rapidly spread, as did my following blogs.  I started receiving hundreds of favorable comments every day, in four months over 9,000.  I’ve not read and approved of more than 5,000.  The comments are coming from all over the world.  A typical comment:  “I was searching the web and I ran into your website. Keep up the awesome work.” 

Marxist Obama is going make the individual naught, the good of all everything, Big Daddy Obama is going to make everyone in his Marxist image. How about that! We can all agree it is most important that we put the right man in the Whitehouse in 2012.  What I’m writing could make a difference.  Since liberals can’t handle the truth, and mine is spreading like wildfire, maybe I’m worth listening to.

In Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let us make man in our image,” the most misinterpreted verse in the entire Bible, how is the socialist image going to work out?  It is widely held that Jesus is the most influential man in history.  Jesus was not a Christian. He was not even a good Jew.  In Chapter 6 of the Gospel According to St. Matthew, in The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus said, “in earth as it is in heaven,” following that with, “But first seek ye the kingdom of God.”

In a footnote, C.I. Scofield, the editor of my Scofield Reference Bible,  says to distinguish the kingdom of God from the kingdom of heaven in five respects:  (1) the kingdom of God is universal, while the kingdom of heaven is Messianic and establishes the kingdom of God in the earth. (2) The kingdom of God is entered by “the new birth,” in the singular sense. Jesus brought the idea that we are each our brother’s keeper—and not limited to people of a certain religious faith. God is in all of us. (3)Since earth and heaven are closely associated with the kingdom of God, in Matthew Jesus speaks of the kingdom of heaven, in Mark and Luke speaking of the kingdom of God, the omissions are what we should take into consideration. (4) The kingdom of God comes “not with outward show,” but is inward and spiritual. (5)The kingdom of heaven merges with the kingdom of God when Christ, “having put all enemies under his feet,” delivers the kingdom of God.

So, now that we know all of this, we now turn to Astrologer’s Handbook.  Under “Pisces,” we read that the Piscean nature is “extremely responsive to the thoughts and feelings of others. They unconsciously absorb the ideas and mental outlook of those around them. They desperately want to do the right thing, but as a rule they do not have strong willpower.  Therefore, they are easily influenced by external factors.”Sounds liberal to me.  Jesus came at the beginning of the Age of Pisces.  Now take into consideration that we are leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius, not good for liberals. 

The Romans, we learn, in an effort to show good will for their subjects, the Jewish people, allowed that one of their criminals would be released in commemoration of the Passover.   Barabbas, a convicted murderer, and Jesus were brought out.  The Roman Governor, Pontius Pilate, in demonstration of his nutrality, washed his hands and then gave the Jews their choice of who to release, Jesus or Barabbas.  The Jewish leadership yelled Barabbas, Barabbas; their Piscean following did the same.  The Jewish leadership, saw to it that Jesus did not further interfere with Jewish religious practices. (He turned over the moneychangers’ tables in the temple.) It was thought it was for the good of all that Jesus be crucified. Twenty years after the crucifixion, the Romans tore down the Jews’ temple and took the Jews into slavery.  

Jesus died for the sins of the people, but promised to return. We need to inform the Reverend Wright, who “god dammed” America, and Barack Obama, who wants to transform America, that “collective salvation” doesn’t work, never has and never will work.  It is a typical loser’s cause. Little wonder that liberals can’t handle the truth.  

The emblem for Pisces is two attached fish swimming in opposite directions. In America, liberals and conservatives have never been this divided.  I’m Aquarius rising, as it turns out, at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius a messenger thousands are listening to.

Now let us turn in Astrologer’s Handbook to “Aquarius.”  “Individual’s 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.” Jesus promised to return, if not in body, in spirit.  Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.

Posted on WND.com-By Aaron Klein-On June 21, 2011:

“CIA Director Leon Panetta, President Obama’s nominee for secretary of defense, co-chaired an initiative to regulate U.S. oceans and cede them to United Nations-based international law.

Panetta’s oceans initiative was a key partner of an organization, Citizens for Global Solutions, that promotes world government.

Also, the group’s parent organization, the World Federalist Movement, promotes democratized global institutions with plenary constitutional power. It is a coordinator and member of Responsibility to Protect, the controversial military doctrine used by Obama as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.

As WND reported, billionaire George Soros is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect, the main organization pushing the doctrine. The center includes the World Federalist Movement as one of its members and coordinators.

Panetta faces a Senate vote tomorrow on whether to confirm him as defense secretary.

Until his appointment as CIA director in 2009, Panetta co-chaired the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative, which is the partner of Citizens for Global Solutions in a push to ratify U.S. laws and regulations governing the seas.

The oceans initiative bills itself as a bipartisan, collaborative group that aims to “accelerate the pace of change that results in meaningful ocean policy reform.”

Among its main recommendations is that the U.S. should put its oceans up for regulation to the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.

That U.N. convention defines the rights and responsibilities of nations in their use of the world’s oceans, establishing guidelines for businesses, the environment and the management of marine natural resources.

Other recommendations of Panetta’s Joint Ocean Commission Initiative include:

• The Administration and Congress should establish a national ocean policy. The Administration and Congress should support regional, ecosystem-based approaches to the management of ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes. 

• Congress should strengthen and reauthorize the Coastal Zone Management Act. 

• Congress should strengthen the Clean Water Act.

The Joint Ocean Commission Initiative Leadership Council includes John Podesta, president and CEO of the Soros-funded Center for American Progress, which is reportedly highly influential in advising the White House on policy.

Podesta served as co-chair of Obama’s presidential transition team.

Panetta’s oceans initiative, meanwhile, is a key partner of Citizens for Global Solutions, or CGS, which, according to its literature, envisions a “future in which nations work together to abolish war, protect our rights and freedoms and solve the problems facing humanity that no nation can solve alone.”

CGS states it works to “build the political will in the United States” to achieve this global vision.

The organization currently works on issues that fall into five general areas: U.S. global engagement; global health and environment; peace and security; international law and justice; and international institutions.

CGS is a member organization and supporter of the World Federalist Movement, which seeks a one-world government. The World Federalist Movement considers the CGS to be its U.S. branch.

The movement openly brings together organizations and individuals that support the establishment of a global federal system of strengthened and democratized global institutions with plenary constitutional power accountable to the citizens of the world and a division of international authority among separate global agencies.

The movement’s headquarters are located near the U.N. building in New York City. A second office is near the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands.

The locations are significant, since the movement heavily promotes the U.N. and is the coordinator of various international projects, such as the Coalition for the International Criminal Court and the Responsibility to Protect military doctrine.

Marxist ideology:

The latest revelations about Panetta follow a series of WND articles in recent days highlighting possible concerns about Obama’s secretary of defense pick.

WND reported last week, Panetta keynoted the conference of a pro-Soviet, anti-war group during the height of the Cold War.

Panetta also honored the founding member of the group, the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, or WILPF, which was once named by the State Department as a “Soviet front.”

WND also reported Panetta once proposed allowing Congress to conduct spot checks at its discretion of the CIA, the only government agency that contests the authority of the congressional comptroller general to audit its activities, citing the covert aspects of its operation.

Also last week, WND reported on Panetta’s ties to a pro-Marxist think tank accused of anti-CIA activity.

The Institute for Policy Studies, or IPS, has long faced criticism for positions some say attempt to undermine U.S. national security and for its cozy relationship with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

Global military scheme:

The connection of Panetta’s oceans initiative to a global center coordinating the Responsibility to Protect doctrine might raise questions regarding Panetta’s defense strategy as he faces a vote tomorrow that is likely to place him at the leadership of the Pentagon.

In his address to the nation last month, Obama cited the military doctrine as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.

Indeed, the Libya bombings have been widely regarded as a test of Responsibility to Protect.

Responsibility to Protect, or Responsibility to Act, as cited by Obama, is a set of principles, now backed by the United Nations, based on the idea that sovereignty is not a privilege but a responsibility that can be revoked if a country is accused of “war crimes,” “genocide,” “crimes against humanity” or “ethnic cleansing.”

The term “war crimes” has at times been indiscriminately used by various U.N.-backed international bodies, including the International Criminal Court, or ICC, which applied it to Israeli anti-terror operations in the Gaza Strip. There has been fear the ICC could be used to prosecute U.S. troops.

As WND reported Soros’ Open Society Institute is a primary funder and key proponent of the Global Centre for Responsibility to Protect.

Soros’ Open Society is one of only three nongovernmental funders of the Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect. Government sponsors include Australia, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Rwanda and the U.K.

Board members of the group include former U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, former Ireland President Mary Robinson and South African activist Desmond Tutu. Robinson and Tutu have made solidarity visits to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip as members of a group called The Elders, which includes former President Jimmy Carter.

Annan once famously stated, “State sovereignty, in its most basic sense, is being redefined – not least by the forces of globalization and international co-operation. States are ... instruments at the service of their peoples and not vice versa.”

The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy served on the advisory board of the 2001 commission that original founded Responsibility to Protect. The center was led at the time by Samantha Power, the National Security Council special adviser to Obama on human rights.

She reportedly heavily influenced Obama in consultations leading to the decision to bomb Libya.

WND reported the committee that devised the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine included Arab League Secretary General Amre Moussa as well as Palestinian legislator Hanan Ashrawi, a staunch denier of the Holocaust who long served as the deputy of late Palestinian Liberation Organization leader Yasser Arafat.

Right to 'penetrate nation-states' borders':

Soros himself outlined the fundamentals of Responsibility to Protect in a 2004 Foreign Policy magazine article entitled “The People’s Sovereignty: How a New Twist on an Old Idea Can Protect the World’s Most Vulnerable Populations.”

In the article, Soros said “true sovereignty belongs to the people, who in turn delegate it to their governments.”

“If governments abuse the authority entrusted to them and citizens have no opportunity to correct such abuses, outside interference is justified,” Soros wrote. “By specifying that sovereignty is based on the people, the international community can penetrate nation-states’ borders to protect the rights of citizens.

“In particular, the principle of the people’s sovereignty can help solve two modern challenges: the obstacles to delivering aid effectively to sovereign states, and the obstacles to global collective action dealing with states experiencing internal conflict.”

'One world':

WND reported that the Responsibility doctrine founder, Ramesh Thakur, recently advocated for a “global rebalancing” and “international redistribution” to create a “New World Order.”

In a piece last March in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, “Toward a new world order,” Thakur wrote, “Westerners must change lifestyles and support international redistribution.”

He was referring there to a United Nations-brokered international climate treaty in which he argued, “Developing countries must reorient growth in cleaner and greener directions.”

In the opinion piece, Thakur then discussed recent military engagements and how the financial crisis has impacted the U.S.

“The West’s bullying approach to developing nations won’t work anymore – global power is shifting to Asia,” he wrote.

“A much-needed global moral rebalancing is in train,” he added.

Thakur continued: “Westerners have lost their previous capacity to set standards and rules of behavior for the world. Unless they recognize this reality, there is little prospect of making significant progress in deadlocked international negotiations.”

Thakur contended “the demonstration of the limits to U.S. and NATO power in Iraq and Afghanistan has left many less fearful of ‘superior’ western power.”

Semper Fi!

 by John W. Lillpop

The hue and cry is for our children to know our history. I’m all for it! Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence was a deist. Deism: belief in the existence of God on the evidence of reason and nature, and get this: with rejection of supernatural revelation. 

If you are of a mindset that the universe, including you, is both quantitative and qualitative, natural law and conscious awareness inseparable, but first comes quality—the state of being real—the law, in order to be real, must be natural.

As for supernatural, man’s imagination of what God wants, like killing Jews, there are many supernatural ideas of what God wants. Were Jews aware of this, they would not be calling Israel the Promised Land. Muslims would not be calling for killing Jews. The peculiar thing about an excess of power is that somehow immoratily becomes moral.

“In earth as it is in heaven,” said Jesus, “But first seek ye the kingdom of God.”  There is a distinction. Heaven and earth are quantitative; the kingdom of God is qualitative.

The history books leave out a lot that I bring to light. My unique history of man is grabbing a lot of attention at mymiraclemessage.com. Far more comments are coming in daily  than I can read, highly favorable comments, most from young people.   For your own gratification, you would not likely leave a huge debt for your children to pay. But if government does it, it is quite alright.  It is something about authority that makes no sense. Young people love my history lessons. They tell me they have no problem in where I'm taking them and look forward to my next blog. They are passing what I tell them around.  I've received more than 9,000 comments. No telling what this will lead to in a world that is sick and tired of the current direction. 

According to Jefferson in the Declaration, the law is with the consent of the governed.  Whenever the people’s life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness is threatened by government, it is the right of the governed to abolish said government, and this is what the signers of the Declaration did. Just imagine this. The Americans did away with England’s government.  If England’s government could have gotten its hands on the signers it would have hung them all. Miracles never cease. George Washington and a ragtag army beat the most powerful nation in the world. America’s independent spirit, written into the law, is the reason America prospered—and to become the most powerful nation of earth.  

What happened? Unfortunately, the idea crept into America’s thinking, completely unfounded, by the way, that given the individual’s nature when successful to become self-centered and greedy, it becomes the duty of government to be involved in the individual’s life though redistribution of the nation’s resources. Are we supposed to accept without question that the successful are greedy and the unsuccessful are not; and that all politicians are as pure as the driven snow? No, we don't think that. But we like the idea of cradle to grave security.  Thus, by heavily taxing the fruits of the people’s labor—for the good of all—America progressed toward big powerful government, along with bailouts for the corrupt rich with big bucks to spend on reelections. And, as for President Obama, who wants to transform America, he's a mile off-target in everything he says, the guy is an absolute failure, our President now spends his remaining time in office on the golfcourse.  Redistribution of the nation’s resources, the most costly fraud in history, leaves the nation weak and divided.

Why teach the myth that this is one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all?  It is confined to those on the right side of the greatest fraud of all times. We should teach our children the American people have failed to learn that along with the letter and the spirit of the law comes personal responsibility, and especially for our children.  In a word, it is expedience—higher regard for that which is politically advantageous rather than for what is right and just.   

A house divided cannot long stand. I’m with Jefferson. The law is with the consent of the governed.  Hey kids, it is the people’s right to abolish this government, which has utterly no regard for your rights.  But I've a better idea. Please read on.

We learn from history that the founder of democracy, the Greek Demosthenes reasoned, “Every law is a gift of god—a precept of wise men.”  Right!  His concept was neither immutable nor invariable.  The Sophist conclusion was that justice was either the interest of the strong or at best a convention entered upon by men purely on consideration of expediency.  Expedience is the democratic way of doing things.  The will of the people, if you will, is merely the particular commands of the makers and keepers of the law.  Slavery is no longer necessary for the South’s economy, but by the same kind of reasoning the South’s representatives had in the past, Wall Street people are now seen by politicians to be too big to fail. The talk in Washington, D. C. is the equivalent of a dog chasing its tail, but the peculiar thing about it is that people buy it.

Yes, kids, common sense says that you have the same rights as a Wall Street banker, but expedience says your rights are not as much as is the good of all. Isn't that funny? For the good of all, you, my children, are left holding the bag. For the good of all, to pay out now to the entitled, and you are left with the debt. By the manipulated will of the people, the President, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Fed, and Congress have all joined ranks to save America.  Gee!  Isn't that nice!

Let the world remain on the path we are traveling.  Just leave us be, kids--for the good of all.  I can tell you for sure that you are not about to pay it.  We've been through this before.  By magic, the debt vanishes. What is one percent of a $14 trillion debt?   As usual, the plan is to let inflation pay the debt.  So we return, once more, to natural law.

Under natural law, you deserve the opportunities nature provides.  Welcome to the Age of Aquarius.  

Patriots, I am heart broken and extremely angry. TEA for Education, a non-profit, invited me to a viewing of the documentary, “Waiting For Superman”. Wow, talk about powerful. I realize many of you are familiar with this movie, but many are not.

The movie exposes how America's public education system is about keeping the teachers unions fat and happy at the expense of our kids. The devastating affect on the lives of “real people”, students and their parents is infuriating.

Despite what libs would have you believe, we spend a ton of money, per child, on education. And yet, public school test scores continue to plummet. Your money is not going to teachers, it is going to bureaucrats and union dues. The democrat party receives 90% of teachers unions political contributions.

In the movie, committed good teachers and administrators attempted to implement common sense changes to better educate students. They were politically beaten down and kicked to the curb by the teachers unions. How dare these teachers and administrators buck the system!

The movie exposes, “The Lemon Dance” a term used by education insiders. Every public school has bad (lemon) teachers. The teachers unions make it almost impossible to fire them. A frustrated principal, once a year, can send his lemon to another school. Hopefully, the new lemon another frustrated principal dumps on him will be a little better than what he had. Thus, The Lemon Dance.

Folks, as I said, the movie made me angry, but not with an anger which causes me to behave badly. I have a healthy righteous anger which inspires me to do something to encourage positive change. I could not wait to tell you about this extremely important and moving film.

For decades, liberals have been selling the myth that urban minority kids surrounded by drugs, poverty, gangs and crime simply can not learn. The typical liberal so-called compassionate solution was to lobby to lower standards and not expect much out of them.

Any conservative who suggests giving minorities the respect and dignity of holding them to the same academic standards as whites is branded an insensitive racist.

“Waiting For Superman” knocks the liberal myth into the stratosphere that urban low income minority students are doomed to failure. The film documents that given the proper expectation, attention, discipline and good TEACHERS, low income inner city minority students test higher than ALL students; including white kids in wealthy neighborhoods.

Another thing I find truly annoying is we black conservatives are called Uncle Tom “traitors to our race”. But, black conservatives are the ones working with the tea party to end the liberal teachers unions tyrannical grip which has wreaked havoc on the lives and education of all American students, particularly minorities.

The national black student high school dropout rate is around 70%. In many New York City minority communities only 17% of blacks graduate public high school. This is horrifically scandalous. http://bit.ly/k8uwfX

Meanwhile, the liberal media, NAACP, Jessie Jackson and company are united in their mission to protect teachers unions. Why? The teachers unions are great financial contributors to the democrats and are in complete solidarity with the left's socialist/progressive agenda.

Sometimes God gives us great gifts in ugly packages. I was devastated when Obama won the presidency. I knew he was wrong for America.

Today, I thank God for our most far left radical president in American history. Patriots have been passively submitting to political correctness and tolerating failed liberal policies for years.

Upon entering the Oval Office, Obama immediately began fulfilling his vow to “fundamentally transform America”.This was the liberal straw that broke the camel's back. Rather than throwing their televisions out of the window yelling, “I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore”, Americans began having tea parties. Thus, Obama birthed the Tea Party.

TEA For Education is a perfect example of which I speak. Unopposed for far too many years, the left has been indoctrinating our kids focusing on “Heather Has Two Mommies” and “going green” while almost ignoring the teaching of reading, math and science.

Also seen in the movie, I was shocked to learn how far down the list U.S. students are testing in reading, math and science compared to the rest of the world. Truly disheartening.

And yet, our kids are well educated about how America and white males in particular, are the greatest source of evil in the world. This is unacceptable and infuriating.

So, I thank God and Obama for TEA For Education. They have chapters in 11 states and are spreading. TEA For Education is doing the Lords work, fighting on behalf of our children.

I would like to give a special “shout out” to TEA For Education Florida rep, Rhonda Lochiatto and national rep, Beverly Elliott for inviting me to the viewing. Patriots across America truly appreciate your efforts. God bless you both for your compassion and commitment to our kids.

Patriots, please see this movie. It will make you cry. It will make you angry. Good!

Anger is not always a bad thing. As a matter of fact, certain things should make you angry; such as the injustice of extremely bright black and Hispanic students being trapped in failing schools because of selfish teachers unions.

The Bible says, “Be angry, but sin not.”

Patriots, I pray that “Waiting For Superman” will inspire a righteous anger, not to behave badly, but passionately seek to correct the left's horrific assault on our children.

Did you notice newts folks bailed on him to run over to Perrys camp, and now Bilderberg is backing perry. Why you ask, simple Perry is a globalist stooge, and violated the Logan act. I e-mailed the Texas atty. Gen. to ask for the AG to arrest Perry. Well what a surprise, they didn't know he went to the 2007 bilderberg meeting. Folks are getting dumb as a char-broiled frogleg.  Anywat they said , " this is a case for the feds" talk about passing the buck. So far the tea party folks in Wash. D.C. who voted for the Patriot act aren't as Tea Party as they claim eh, check this out...

    120 Tea Party members of Congress voted FOR the Patriot Act. Only 18 Tea Party members voted against it. Pretty lousy record don't ya think...see full article here  

http://irregulartimes.com/index.php/archives/2011/05/28/tea-party-roll-call-may-2011-patriot-act/  why you ask, cuz ya'll got co-opted again brought back into the fold by mainstrem neo-cons, Fox no news, Hannity, Huckabee,the rest of the game show hosts, karl rove and the like say it ain't so. The elites are playing everybody like a drum. Back to perry, he is there to knock off Ron Paul, we can't have a real conservative, when the elites can install a puppet, wake up folks. All you texans should write the AG and ask for perry to be arrested for violating the logan act...Remember back when Ron Paul first started the Tea Party ya'll booooood Perry off-stage now he's Gov?  What happened? 

Bilderberg-Approved Perry Set to Become Presidential Frontrunner

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars
Monday, June 20, 2011

Every indication suggests that Bilderberg-approved  Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to become the frontrunner in the Republican  race to challenge Barack Obama for the presidency, illustrating once again how a  shady, secretive and undemocratic global elite holds the reigns of true power  while Americans are distracted by the delusional notion that they have a genuine  choice in 2012.

“Perry has said he will announce his decision  soon. One member of his campaign team said he was closer than ever to joining  the race and he was testing the prospects in the early caucus and primary states  of Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. If he does stand, Republicans  at the New Orleans conference predicted he would become the frontrunner of a  so-far uninspiring field,” reports  the London Guardian.

Texas Governor Perry, a protégé of Karl Rove, is  very good at acting like a down-home populist, but that’s all it is – an act.  Perry is George W. Bush 2.0.

While spewing Tea Party-style rhetoric about  secession, shooting coyotes and courting the favor of Christian evangelicals,  behind closed doors Perry has been quietly selling out Texas to globalist  interests, auctioning off  highways to foreign companies to turn them into profit-driven toll  roads.

“Speculation that Perry is the Bilderberg group’s  ace card was prompted by the current political climate, which can largely be  gleaned from the fact that Perry is a longtime, unwavering supporter of the  NAFTA Superhighway and related infrastructure projects,” wrote  AFP’s Jim Tucker earlier this month. “These pave the way for the  Bilderberg-supported North American Union (NAU) proposal that would merge the  U.S., Canada and Mexico.”

Perry has also given enthusiastic support to  former Mexican  President Vicente Fox’s efforts to turn Texas into a sanctuary state for  illegal immigrants. He also aggressively promoted the Rockefeller  Foundation-backed HPV vaccination campaign in Texas that has led  to deaths worldwide. David Rockefeller is a prominent Bilderberger,  attending each annual meeting without fail.

Perry  attended the June 2007 Bilderberg conference in Istanbul, Turkey, and in  doing so violated the Logan  Act, a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from  negotiating with foreign governments.

Look beyond the rhetoric and study what Perry has  actually done in his role as Governor – he’s the ultimate globalist – his every  action illustrates how he’s the diametric opposite to the image of the Tea Party  populist that he attempts to portray. That’s why he’s the perfect pick for the  globalists, someone who can suck in the trust of the American people only to  stab them in the back upon becoming president, just as Obama did before him.

Obama himself was reportedly vetted by Bilderberg  when he infamously  disappeared to a secret location with Hillary Clinton in June 2008 in Northern  Virginia, at precisely the same time and location the Bilderberg Group were  convening in Chantilly. Bilderberg luminary James  A. Johnson was also responsible for selecting Obama’s running mate Joe  Biden, having also previously selected John Edwards as John Kerry’s right  hand man in 2004 after Edwards  had impressed Bilderberg elitists Henry Kissinger and David Rockefeller with  a speech he gave at the globalist confab in Italy that year.

In a comparatively weak GOP field, the  establishment cannot take any chances in allowing Ron Paul to gain momentum as  the only candidate who has a real chance of defeating Barack Obama.

As polls have shown, out of the Republican  candidates, only Ron Paul has a realistic hope of success in a hypothetical run  off against Obama – the other candidates are equally unpopular as the  President.

Despite the fact that Mitt Romney has been  anointed by the establishment as the Republican favorite, a  May CNN poll found that he would lose by 11 points if he got the nomination  and went head to head with Obama, whereas Paul only trails the President by 7  points.

Bilderberg’s continual influence in picking US  presidents and potential vice-presidents again serves up a reminder that the  real power structure steering the planet goes beyond teleprompter-reading puppet  presidents and rests in the hands of multi-generational globalists, central  banking moguls and the CEO’s of the world’s biggest corporations, all of whom routinely  attend the Bilderberg Group confab every year.

Moe, Larry And Curly Bernanke

WWW.FEDERALRESERVE.GOV

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said he wanted inflation. He got his wish. Now the question is: Is it getting out of hand?

In the 1940 short film “A Plumbing We Will Go,” The Three Stooges pose as plumbers trying to stop a leaky pipe in a large home while a party is going on.

Since they know nothing about plumbing, it isn’t long before the boys have connected the water pipes to a conduit and water is pouring out everywhere. Of course, the party is ruined and the house is wrecked.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is Moe, Larry and Curly all rolled into one, and his efforts to stop the leaky economy have been as successful as the boys’ efforts were in fixing the dripping pipe. Bernanke’s latest effort of quantitative easing — known as QE2 — is running out, and the bubble he created is deflating faster than one of the Stooges’ helium-filled cakes.

Last week, a Chinese ratings house accused the United States of defaulting on its massive debt by allowing the dollar to weaken against other currencies — eroding the wealth of its creditors, the biggest of which is China.

China holds $1.145 trillion of U.S. Treasury securities. That is down from its peak of $1.175 trillion in October, according to a story by the AFP news service.

China, the No. 1 holder of U.S. debt, is now a seller of U.S. Treasuries. Japan, the second largest holder of U.S. Treasuries, may soon be a seller as well. It needs money to repair infrastructure following this year’s earthquake and tsunami.

The stock market was down six weeks in a row before last week, when it finally finished a week on an up note. According to The Economic Collapse blog, that hasn’t happened since the dotcom bubble burst in May 2001.

The false euphoria created by QE2, which propped up Bernanke’s Wall Street buddies by driving money into the market, has worn off. Investors realize this, and they are looking for new places to put their money.

Meanwhile, once again, John and Jane American are watching their meager retirement funds dry up. Unemployment is up (the true unemployment rate, which includes discouraged workers, is 22.3 percent, according to the National Inflation Association), manufacturing and consumer confidence are down and one in seven Americans is on food stamps. Millions of Americans receive some sort of government assistance.

The price of everything is increasing. According to NIA: “90% of sporting goods manufacturers have seen their input costs rise substantially this year and 41% of them have already announced major price increases for athletic apparel, footwear, and sports equipment. As the 8,000 toy manufacturers in China are forced to raise the wages they pay their employees, Toys R’ Us is now beginning to see major wholesale price increases for their products, which they will have to pass on to U.S. consumers. Hasbro recently raised prices on all of their products by 6% to 7%. Mattel recently imposed an across the board high single digit price increase after reporting a 33% decline in quarterly profits (despite sales surging by 8%) due to skyrocketing raw material costs.”

May sales reflected what consumers thought of the rising prices. Retail sales fell for the first time in 11 months. The drop in sales hit autos, electronics, appliances, furniture, groceries, sports retailers and department stores.

Bernanke said he wanted inflation. He got his wish. Now the question is: Is it getting out of hand?

This is a recent article from The Energy Tribune. The numbers are based on a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CRS). There are graphs and charts available at the link that did not transfer over which show the numbers more dramatically. By the way, the shale oil deposits that are not included in the numbers in this article are estimated to be over 800 Billion barrels, that is per the U.S. Department of Natural Resources.

U.S. Has Earth’s Largest Energy Resources

By Peter C Glover
Posted on Mar. 24, 2011

In case anyone missed it, let me repeat something that is of a magnitude of 10 on the scale of news-quakes for Joe Public USA: America’s combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service (CSR), the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd), China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined – and that’s without including America’s shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.

The energy facts in the CRS report should be making front page news all over America. Mostly it isn’t. Given the devastating news from Japan and New Zealand, it may be right to postpone dancing in the streets. But something else is going on. Even though they are going to dominate global energy supply for decades to come the insidious war on vital fossil fuels continues apace.

Thus it perhaps falls to a friend of the US (i.e. me) to state that if the White House is in any way serious about impacting the economic Black H*** that is the burgeoning national debt, reinvigorating business big-time, creating real jobs and restoring ebbing national wealth, the best shot by a distance if you’re American ... well, you’re standing on it, or rather above it.

While love, spiritually speaking and in fiction, may make the world go around, it is energy – and mostly hydrocarbon energy – that actually drives it. As blockbuster thrillers sometimes put it, “Who will tell the President?”

Political pantomime

From over here, the lack of a comprehensive US energy policy and the incoherence of President Obama’s political take on energy, reminds me of a pantomime I saw last Christmas, Aladdin. The cave is full of energy riches, but ‘Emperor’ Obama – or is it Wishy-Washy? –refuses to allow the words “open sesame” to be spoken.

Senator Lisa Murkowski, Ranking Member of the Senate Energy and National Resources Committee, takes up the theme: “As we debate ways to reduce gas prices and provide relief to American families and businesses, this report should be required reading for every member of Congress.” How about for every American citizen too, Senator? Murkowski adds, “For the sake of our national security, our economy, and the world’s environment, we need to explore and develop more of our own resources.”

“The Obama administration has made a conscious policy choice to raise energy prices, accomplished in good measure by restricting access to domestic energy supplies.” So says Senator James Inhofe, a Ranking Member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. He adds forthrightly, “We could help bring affordable energy to consumers, create new jobs, and grow the economy if the Obama administration would simply get out of the way so America can realize its true energy potential.”

Wow, heavy stuff. But then there’s much to be ‘heavy’ about.

While the US is often depicted as having only a tiny minority of the world’s oil reserves at around 28 billion barrels (based on the somewhat misleading figure of ‘proven reserves’) according to the CRS in reality it has around 163 billion barrels. As Inhofe’s EPW press release comments, “That’s enough oil to maintain America’s current rates of production and replace imports from the Persian Gulf for more than 50 years”. Next up, there’s coal. The CRS report reveals America’s reserves of coal are unsurpassed, accounting for over 28 percent of the world’s coal. Much of it is high quality too. The CRS estimates US recoverable coal reserves at around 262 billion tons (not including further massive, difficult to access, Alaskan reserves). Given the US consumes around 1.2 billion tons a year, that’s a couple of centuries of coal use, at least.

In 2009 the CRS upped its 2006 estimate of America’s enormous natural gas deposits by 25 percent to around 2,047 trillion cubic feet, a conservative figure given the expanding shale gas revolution. At current rates of use that’s enough for around 100 years. Then there is still the, as yet largely publicly untold, story of methane hydrates to consider, a resource which the CRS reports alludes to as “immense...possibly exceeding the combined energy content of all other known fossil fuels.” According to the Inhofe’s EPW, “For perspective, if just 3 percent of this resource can be commercialized ... at current rates of consumption, that level of supply would be enough to provide America’s natural gas for more than 400 years.”

See what I mean about an Aladdin’s Cave of untapped energy? Could America.........

The morally challenged continuously say that she does not get it but this film shows that she not only does get it but that those who accuse her of not getting it are themselves bewildered about the purpose of life and their reason for living.  They don't get the meaning of life at all.  Is it no wonder that the decisions coming out of Congress and the White House do not resolve the problems of our country.  Any one who is willing to deny God and/or is willing to abort an innocent baby simply cannot be trusted to make decisions that will have good results for this Republic and its citizens.  How in the world can one vote for those who do not understand that abortion is murder...if someone believes that harming an innocent, helpless, unborn baby is ok then extend that reasoning to the decision making process of these people after they get into office and commence making decisions that affect our lives.  Is it no wonder this country is in a mess.  Decisions that are made without the concern for their moral implications can only and ultimately cause tremendous collateral damage.  Take for example a Board of Directors whose members are morally challenged when they decide to move a factory to China when they understand full well the implications of that decision will result in devastation of a multitude of families that had ties to that factory.  This destruction of families does not seem to be of any concern to these morally challenged people.  Those who make decision based on Judaeo-Christian morality will not move those factories to China.  They will find ways of resolving their competitive issues and remain here in the U.S.  Sure it may mean that the Executives will not make more millions or that management and labor may have to make a little less money until they resolve their competitive issues but the decision was a morally based one which did not profoundly hurt a multitude of families.  The same reasoning may be applied to those we elect to Congress and the WHAT House.  Those who are morally challenged will not make decisions that ultimately and finally benefit the American public.  By electing morally challenged people we are committing social and financial suicide.  When will the people begin  to understand that someone who does not care about morality will not care what mal-effect their decisions will have upon you the constituent.  We Americans need to wake up and smell the roses of moral reality and face up to the un-reality of the morally challenged!
