What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on Oath Keepers-By Stewart Rhodes-On August 10, 2011:

“Oath Keepers Exclusive:  An FBI Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force handout being distributed to Colorado military surplus store owners lists the purchase of popular preparedness items and firearms accessories as “suspicious” and “potential indicators of terrorist activities,” instructing store owners to keep records on and report people who:

“Make bulk purchase of items to include:

Weatherproofed ammunition or match containers

Meals Ready to Eat

Night Vision Devices; night flashlights; gas masks

High capacity magazines

Bi-pods or tri-pods for rifles”

The FBI handout, entitled “Communities Against Terrorism: Potential Indicators of Terrorist Activities Related to Military Surplus Stores” also instructs surplus store owners to:

“Require valid ID from all new customers.

Keep records of purchases.

Talk to customers, ask questions, and

listen to and observe their responses.

Watch for people and actions that are out of place.

Make note of suspicious statements, people, and /or vehicles.

If something seems wrong, notify law enforcement authorities.”

The handout also instructs surplus store owners to consider as “suspicious” anyone who “demands identity ‘privacy’” or anyone who expresses “extreme religious statements” and those who “make suspicious comments regarding anti-US, [or] radical theology.”

The “Communities Against Terrorism” flyer closes by stating:

“Preventing terrorism is a community effort. By learning what to look for, you can make a positive contribution in the fight against terrorism. The partnership between the community and law enforcement is essential to the success of anti -terrorism efforts.

Some of the activities, taken individually, could be innocent and must be examined by law enforcement professionals in a larger context to determine whether there is a basis to investigate. The activities outlined on this handout are by no means all-inclusive but have been compiled from a review of terrorist events over several years.”

The handout encourages surplus store owners and employees to provide information on “suspicious” customers by calling the Denver Joint Terrorism Task Force or the Colorado Information Analysis Center. This handout is very nearly identical to one issued by the FBI to gun stores from Connecticut to Utah: PDF

This new handout expands the absurdity by now also targeting customers of military surplus stores, and by specifically targeting the purchasing of very common, and very popular, preparedness items such as Meals Ready to Eat (MRE’s) as “potential indicators of terrorist activities.”

While this particular handout is being given to military surplus store owners in Colorado, it is nearly certain that similar versions are being handed out by Joint Terrorism Task Forces in other states.   Anyone who has seen such a handout, or who has a copy of one, please contact us at tips@oathkeepers.org.   You know, “if you see something, say something!”  It may be a potential indicator of government terrorist (tyranny and chilling of speech) activities.   Remember, combating tyranny is a community effort and you can make a difference!  – Oath Keepers

NOTE FROM STEWART RHODES, FOUNDER OF OATH KEEPERS:

Islamist terrorists are not known to hang out in local Army-Navy surplus stores, stocking up on MRE’s, high capacity magazines and bi-pods for their long range rifles.   As Brandon Smith, over at Alt-market.com notes, “These are very common purchases, not for terrorists, but for Preppers and Survivalists, who are obviously the targets of the FBI profile, not secret Al-Qaeda agents.”  Spot on. Obviously the current crop of FBI “leadership” considers anyone who wants to be self-sufficient and prepared to be a “threat” that should be relentlessly tracked and reported.

So if you take preparedness seriously enough to buy a few cases of MREs, or if you see the wisdom in having spare “high capacity” (i.e. full capacity*) magazines for your rifles or pistols, if you don’t want your matches to get wet, if you want to be able to see in the dark, or if you want  to be able to shoot more accurately by using a bipod, “you might be a terrorist” (like a bizarre Jeff Foxworthy joke), and the FBI wants your neighborhood Army Surplus Store to play the role of government informant and snitch, like something out of East Germany.   As Brandon Smith put it, the FBI handout “even instructs store owners to subtly interrogate their customers in order to draw a fuller profile. THIS IS CALLED CITIZEN SPYING. Period.”  Spot on again.  That’s exactly what it is – a preparedness focused “see something, say something” snitch program to help track and locate Americans who exhibit such dangerous “prepper” tendencies.

How far we have come from the Founder’s ideal of a “well regulated” (well equipped and well trained) citizen militia where ALL able bodied citizens were expected to keep and bear their own weapons, ammunition, field gear, and other supplies essential to personal military capability and competence.  And the Founders expected us to keep that military gear at home and to actually train together in its use so we would “be prepared” for anything, you know, like the Boy Scouts motto.  That motto is a sad remnant of the Founders’ ideal of a prepared citizenry.  As the Boy Scouts website still notes:

“Be Prepared.”

That’s the motto of the Boy Scouts.

“Be prepared for what?” someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting,

“Why, for any old thing.” said Baden-Powell.

Under the logic of this most recent handout, the Boy Scouts should be reported as “suspicious.”  I can just hear the people at Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), who likely helped write this handout,  screeching “Someone report Baden-Powell to the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force!  He’s advocating an extremist, paranoid “prepper” ideology!   Oh, wait …he’s dead?  Well then, report anyone who quotes him!  Such as that subversive remnant of American reactionary radicalization of the youth, the Boy Scouts!  That’s a hotbed for extremist radicalization. Why haven’t they been shut down yet?!  Someone get Cass Sunstein and Holder on the phone!”

The Founders would have wanted all of us, every one, to “be prepared” for “any old thing.”   They would have wanted us to have night vision, gas masks (which come in handy in many situations), “high-capacity” magazines – and the powerful military pattern rifles that use them – bi-pods so we can shoot accurately at long distance, and plenty of ammunition in “weatherproofed” containers (also known as surplus ammo cans).  They would have wanted us to have plenty of MRE’s for handy field use, and even “night flashlights.”   I  suppose “day flashlights” are OK with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, but those dangerous “night flashlights” are verboten, and anyone who buys one must be reported!  I certainly hope it wasn’t actually someone at the FBI who wrote that.**

This absurd list sounds like it was compiled by someone at the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) or by someone at the Brady Center.   I’m shocked it doesn’t also list purchase of “those shoulder things that go up” as a potential indicator of terrorist activity.   And it may well have been written by the SPLC.  As Oath Keepers exposed in October of 2010, the CEO of Southern Poverty Law Center now sits on the DHS “Working Group on Countering Violent Extremism,” which is tasked with designing training initiatives that reach right down to the local community level (as in “communities against terrorism”), to include training local police, social workers, teachers, “child protective services” personnel, and mental health professionals on how to use their power and influence to “counter violent extremism.”

I don’t have to tell you who SPLC likes to label “extremist.”  You already know.  Just look in the mirror.  If you dare to quote the Founding Fathers, if you still believe in the self evident truths and principles of liberty espoused in the Declaration of Independence, if you advocate strict obedience of the Constitution, if you dare to take your oath seriously, and encourage others to do likewise, you are a radical “extremist” according to the SPLC and their “Hate Watch” website, and they will lump you in with neo-Nazis, skinheads, cop-killers and terrorists.  And likewise if you support Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin, or Michelle Bachmann, or if you watch Judge Andrew Napolitano’s Freedom Watch show or like Glenn Beck, since all of them are considered “enablers” of extremism by the SPLC.   And of course, Oath Keepers has been a target of their smear campaigns from the day of its founding.   I consider it a badge of honor.   You know you’re over the target when Mark Potok starts screeching about you on national TV.

And now, as part of the DHS “team,” SPLC is doing their very best to turn the full power of government on you at every level, right down to your local “Mayberry” Police Department.   And that’s where handouts like this one come in, encouraging the whole community to be out there monitoring, tracking, compiling dossiers, and investigating anyone who advocates or holds the views and ideals of the Founders or who is actually trying to fulfill their civic duties by practicing those ideals – such as the ideals of preparedness, competence at arms, and being well equipped and well trained.

Funny thing is, who exactly do the authors of these handouts think they are talking to when they ask gun store and military surplus store owners and staff to spy on their customers and serve as a network of government snitches?  These stores are usually owned and staffed by veterans, who are also very preparedness minded – in other words, just like the customers the government wants them to inform on.  That’s like handing the MIAC report to Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin supporters and asking them to keep an eye on those pesky, subversive, and potentially dangerous Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin supporters.   It’s absurd.

in fact, asking military surplus store owners and staff to keep an eye out for people who like to stock up on MREs, high capacity magazines, flashlights, and weatherproofed ammo and match containers is like asking a shoe store to keep an eye out for people who take footwear seriously.

And when a store owner gets this list of “potential indicators of terrorist activities” and sees the items he stocks listed there, what is that saying about him?  If he is intentionally stocking MRE,s, “night flashlights,” weatherproof ammunition or match containers, or any of the other common-sense, useful items on this list, that makes him an “enabler” and supplier of potential terrorists – at least in the eyes of the authors of this handout.

If the powers that be, and the authors of this silly handout are worried about customers of military surplus stores, I can only imagine what they think of readers of www.survivalblog.com or of the listeners and readers of Preparedness Podcast (http://thepreparednesspodcast.com/).

And they are probably on the verge of having strokes over Oath Keepers recently announced Operation Sleeping Giant (www.operationsleepinggiant.com) where we openly urge all veterans to be prepared and to take a leadership role in getting their communities prepared for anything by focusing on four key areas:

1. Food storage, fuel storage, emergency medical, and communications security and independence (and general preparedness). Since food is the hardest thing to improvise, it comes first, so we advocate doing as the Mormons do, by taking food storage seriously [including some MREs!]

2. Physical security and Independence – to include neighborhood watches; mutual aid associations; a volunteer sheriff’s posse (under direct command of the sheriff); and county militias established by county ordinances but staffed by self-supplied and self-funded volunteers (as is done in volunteer fire departments all over this nation); state defense forces under command of the governor; and ultimately, a true state militia, established by state statute, and capable of “repelling invasions” [just imagine Mark Potok reading that!].

3. Economic security and independence – as individuals and communities, including barter networks, use of silver and gold as real money, and sound money bills at the county and state levels (as Utah just passed).   See www.alt-market.com for details.

4. State sovereignty and nullification of unconstitutional federal laws and actions.  The focus here is on restoring the Republic from the bottom up, by voting out oath breakers and voting in constitutionalists, till we have sheriffs, local and state legislators, and governors who have the knowledge, courage, and integrity to keep their oaths, up to and including being willing to defend the Constitution and the powers reserved to the states and to the people (see the Tenth Amendment) by supporting state sovereignty resolutions and nullification of unconstitutional laws.

[Go to www.operationsleepinggiant.com for more details on that program, and please get involved!]

When the government distributes handouts encouraging gun stores and military surplus stores to track, monitor, and snitch on their customers, you know we are in trouble.  But the answer is not to hide, afraid to train and practice preparedness.  The answer is for everyone to become a “prepper”, as in all the rebellious gladiators yelling out “I am Spartacus!” when the Roman General demanded to know where Spartacus was.   The proper spirit of response it be like Founding Father John Hancock saying “here, let me write my name nice and big, so King George can easily read it.”

That attitude is also expressed in Isaiah 6:8:  “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”  And I said, “Here am I. Send me!

The answer to the government’s silly lists is to make the lists so damn long they end up including every able bodied American (who is supposed to be the militia anyway), and thus the damnable lists become useless.  Each of us should, rather than being afraid of buying preparedness gear, step up and go shopping, and encourage others to do the same, online, in person, wherever.  Give preparedness items as birthday presents and Christmas gifts.  Make them a badge of honor, like the Founding generation proudly wearing home-spun.   Make the lists so big they become useless.

When the beast is in your face, trying to crush and stamp out the last remnants of your heritage, trying to chill your speech and make you afraid to fulfill your civic duties, afraid to keep your oath by stepping up and getting your community ready for hard times ahead – when the beast is trying to “nudge” you into sitting down, shutting up, and being a dependent, unprepared, scared, and cowardly serf, the answer is to step right up and answer the call. “Here I am.  Send me!” should be the battle cry of every one of you.

I recently responded to the Police Chief of Quartzsite Arizona, who likes to make references to “domestic terrorism” when discussing upstart Tea Party people, Oath Keepers and Sons of Liberty Riders, by saying hey, “we’re your huckleberries, Chief.”  (and we’ll be marching in Quartzsite on August 27^th in support of the Quartzsite Ten!).

Same goes for this nonsense.  If the FBI and DHS wants to openly target preparedness minded folks as “suspicious” and worthy of being reported to the Joint Terrorism Task Force, for simply doing what the Founders expected us to do, and what we veterans are duty bound by our oaths to do, and what  every American, if they wish to be worthy of being called “citizen” is duty bound to do, well then, Robert and Janet, we’re your huckleberries too!   Get in line.

Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito (Latin: Do not give in to evil but proceed ever more boldly against it)

Stewart Rhodes,

Founder of Oath Keepers

* Hat tip to James Wesley, Rawles of Survival Blog who encourages the use of the term “full capacity” magazines rather than the anti-gunner term “high capacity” since the magazines in question were designed to carry that many rounds.

** We have heard, through the gape-vine, that many current serving FBI field agents are in agreement with us and support what we are doing here at Oath Keepers.  They are not happy at all with the politicization of the FBI, but the “leaders” in Washington DC are another matter entirely, and have expressed an intent to use the FBI, along with DHS, BATF, etc., as a weapon against conservatives and constitutionalists.  Will be interesting to see how that tension is resolved.”

For those of you with smart phones there is a Congress app. This app allows you to track what bills are on the table, and what bills have been recently passed. It also allows the user to enter thier zip code and track the actions of thier reps. It also gives contact info for your reps. There is a long list of house, senate and joint commities.

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on The Heritage Foundation-On August 11, 2011:

“It sounds like something out of a movie. A nuclear weapon detonates at high altitude, generating a burst of electromagnetic energy that devastates the United States–destroying electronics, collapsing communications, halting transportation, and shutting down all electrical power. Unfortunately, the threat of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) strike is all too real, and it’s time America’s leaders wake up to the reality.

But a nuclear weapon isn’t the only way an EMP can be generated. Even unusually powerful solar activity could produce catastrophic destruction in the United States. No matter how it’s generated, the chaotic effects are the same. First, the electromagnetic shock can disrupt electrical devices. The second effect is similar to lightning—a power surge that would burn circuits and immobilize electronic components and systems. The third is a pulse effect that flows through electricity trans mission lines, damaging distribution centers and fusing power lines. Any of these can cause irreversible damage to an electronic system. And the United States would effectively be sent back to the 19^th century, to a world without cars, cell phones, computers, or any other electronics.

If history is any guide, an EMP would be catastrophic. In 1859, British astronomer Richard Carrington observed an unusually large solar flare. Later, the flare reached earth. Telegraph operators were knocked unconscious. Their machines caught on fire as the EMP effect from the flare surged through the lines. When this event occurred, only a small portion of the world was electrified. A solar flare of this magnitude today might have a much more devastating impact.

“An event that could incapacitate the network for a long time,” stated one participant in a U.S. National Academies of Science study, “could be one of the largest natural disasters that we could face.” In the film 33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age, Dr. William Graham, chairman of the Congressional EMP Commission, explainswhat that disaster would look like:

“Medical services wouldn’t be available because they need electric power. Telephones wouldn’t work. The traffic lights would stop working. Big traffic jams. Transportation would be shut down. Electronic fund transfers wouldn’t work so you wouldn’t get your paycheck. You wouldn’t be able to use your credit card. Food stocks would run out very quickly. Everything we know about life today that makes it convenient and efficient would be shut down.”

On August 15, 2003, 55 million people received a brief object lesson in what life would be like after an EMP event when a major blackout occurred throughout the northeastern United States and Canada. For the most part, services were restored within a day. That would not be the case after an EMP event. Heritage’s James Carafano explains in a new paper the potential impact on the United States–and the world:

“The result of a massive EMP event could be devastating. Communications would collapse, transportation would halt, and electrical power would simply be nonexistent. Not even a global humanitarian effort would be enough to keep hundreds of millions of Americans from death by starvation, exposure, or lack of medicine.

Nor would the catastrophe stop at U.S. borders. Most of Canada would be devastated, too, as its infrastructure is integrated with the U.S. power grid. Without the American economic engine, the world economy would quickly collapse. Much of the world’s intellectual brain power (half of it is in the United States) would be lost as well. Earth would most likely recede into the “new” Dark Ages.”

Yet despite the threat—and the fact that six national commissions and major independent U.S. government studies have independently concurred with the significance of the danger—Congress has merely deliberated it but has not taken substantive action. Meanwhile, the Administration and federal agencies remain mostly ambivalent.

Carafano recommends actions the U.S. government can take to guard against an EMP attack: funding comprehensive missile defense to intercept and destroy a missile bound for the United States; developing a National Recovery Plan and a plan to respond to severe space weather emergencies; and more research on the EMP threat to ensure that the United States fully understands the scope of the danger and can prepare cost-effective countermeasures.

That’s why it is time to make August 15 National EMP Awareness Day to wake up America’s leaders to the looming threat. An EMP strike should be recognized as a clear and present danger—one that could be devastating if it finds the nation ill-prepared.

On August 15, 2011, Heritage is hosting a panel event on the EMP threat from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. ET. Click here for more information or to watch the event online.”

I. How to Defend America in the 21^st Century! (Part 1)

Posted on Floyd Reports-By Guest Writer-On August 5, 2011:

“In 1914, on the eve of the Great War, the Duke of Cambridge wrote, “There is a time for all things. There is even a time for change; and that is when it can no longer be avoided.”

Speaking of change, the current debt crisis could force drastic cuts in the Department of Defense budget, perhaps as high as 50 percent.

In the immediate post-Cold War era, DoD futurists envisioned a 25-year period of “strategic pause” before the nation faced a “major peer competitor” sometime between 2015 and 2020. In the 1990s, major candidates for peer-competitor status included China and a resurgent Russia. India and a nuclear-armed Iran were cast as lesser threats. In those heady days, terrorism was seen as a tactic and more the purview of law enforcement. The major emphasis was on being prepared for big wars against peer competitors—wars no world power can afford to lose. Preparing for those wars also satisfied each service’s need to perpetuate itself in familiar ways wrapped around developing and acquiring high-tech weapon systems. Programs like “The Army After Next,” “From the Sea,” and “Air Force Next” addressed future strategic paradigms focused on parochial core strengths.

To be sure, there were cuts in defense spending during the 1990s. The size of the American military shrank. The Air Force, alone among the services, reorganized its force structure from one based on strategic deterrence to power projection. Cuts were “salami slices” that, for the most part, reduced but did not reform outmoded force structures.

And then, September 11, 2001 changed everything. In the immediate aftermath, the Bush administration made a major mistake by declaring a “War on Terror” rather than specifying the enemy as Al Qaeda, associated groups, and nations that support them. With a generic “terror” as the enemy, the war easily morphed from one into two wars, with Operation Iraqi Freedom launched in March 2003. Ten years later, the fighting in Iraq continues, and what was originally a campaign to root out and destroy al Qaeda in Afghanistan has become an endless struggle against the Taliban. This war has exhausted the American military, contributed to our national economic nightmare, and derailed critical thinking about the future.

This exhausted force is also outmoded. Cutting such a force by a quarter, much less half, would invite aggression by nations like Iran and North Korea. Keeping the current force at the status quo would be expensive and also leave the nation vulnerable to current threats and unable to cope with a rapidly growing Chinese threat.

The U.S. military needs massive restructuring. Its current structure originated with the reforms instituted in 1903 after the Spanish-American War. A major overhaul on the eve of World War II made it possible to fight the Axis powers. The National Security Act of 1947 institutionalized the Industrial Age force extant today. Now, the armed forces of the United States would be hard-pressed to counter a North Korean invasion of South Korea without using nuclear weapons.

In fact, war on the Korean peninsula is one of our immediate threats. Iran, soon to be a nuclear-armed state, is bent on establishing hegemony in the world’s energy epicenter. Despite a predictably forthcoming declaration of “victory” in the ill-conceived War on Terror, al Qaeda and associated groups will continue to attack U.S. interests abroad while putting the nation on the defensive at home.

An anti-American alliance between Iran, Syria, North Korea, Venezuela, and possibly Cuba is not beyond the realm of possibility. If Mexico continues to descend into anarchy, that alliance could extend to our immediate and un-defended southern border; imagine the cost of trying to fortify it sufficiently to keep it secure.

Slicing the salami thicker will result in fewer divisions, cutting new weapons acquisition, and trimming at the edges by reducing costs associated with professional military education. This is like starting a weight reduction with a frontal lobotomy and removing a few fingers. What is needed is drastic restructuring of the armed forces, massive reduction in the associated bureaucracy, and major changes in the way officers are educated.

Meanwhile, China is building a first-class fighting force, one capable of global power projection. While Russia’s ability to project power remains questionable, its modernization programs focus on high-tech weaponry and on revitalizing nuclear forces.

Critics argue that the United States now spends more on its military than the next 10 nations combined. True. A lot of that goes to sustaining force structures that are redundant, unnecessary, and ill-suited for Information Age warfare. Much of it goes to personnel costs (including retirement), maintaining bases and posts that are no longer needed, and unnecessary civilian personnel. There is much that can be cut, but also much more that needs to be restructured if the United States is to survive the challenges beyond 2015.”

II. How to Defend America in the 21^st Century! (Part 2)-Posted on Floyd Reports-By Guest Writer-On August 12, 2011:

Note:  The following websites and report reveal that George Soros’ Open Society Institute (OSI) funds: (a)organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending; (b)organizations that favor global government, which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies; and, (c) the Peace and Security Funders Group (PSFG), which is a liberal internationalist coalition of U.S. donors who believe the best way to prevent wars, constrain rogue nations, and prevent the spread of nuclear weapons is to let international laws and organizations set the terms of world peace. The umbrella group, whose listed supporters claim to have assets exceeding $25 billion, aims to entangle the U.S. government in a process of international negotiation to create a new global legal regime. It would likely limit U.S. sovereignty and replace a strong national defense with endless rounds of international rulemaking and consensus-building-You Decide:

(a) Organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending:

• The American Friends Service Committee, which views America as the world's chief source of international strife, has long had a friendly relationship with the Communist Party USA. Lamenting that “the United States spends 59% of the discretionary federal budget on military-related expenses,” the Committee seeks to “realign national spending priorities and to increase the portion of the budget that is spent on housing, quality education for all, medical care, and fair wages.” In 2000, George Soros himself was a signatory to a letter titled “Appeal for Responsible Security” that appeared in The New York Times. The letter called upon the U.S. government “to commit itself unequivocally to negotiate the worldwide reduction and elimination of nuclear weapons,” and to participate in “the global de-alerting of nuclear weapons and deep reduction of nuclear stockpiles.”

(b) Organizations that favor global government, which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies:

• According to George Soros, “We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy.” Consistent with this perspective, the Open Society Institute in 2008 gave $150,000 to the United Nations Foundation, which “works to broaden support for the UN through advocacy and public outreach.” Moreover, OSI is considered a “major” funder of the Coalition for an International Criminal Court, which aims to subordinate American criminal-justice procedures in certain cases to an international prosecutor who could initiate capricious or politically motivated prosecutions of U.S. officials and military officers.

“(CNSNews.com) – House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King (R-N.Y.) is calling for the inspectors general of the Defense Department and the CIA to investigate whether the Obama administration leaked classified material to Hollywood for a film about the Navy SEALs mission that killed terrorist Osama bin Laden. The White House has dismissed reports that it leaked sensitive information as “ridiculous.”

In a letter to the inspectors general, King quoted from liberal New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd’s Aug. 6commentary.

Dowd wrote: “Just as Obamaland was hoping, the movie is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, 2012--perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost to a campaign that has grown tougher. … The moviemakers are getting top-level access to the most classified mission in history from an administration that has tried to throw more people in jail for leaking classified information than the Bush administration.”

King’s letter calls upon the inspectors general to conduct a probe about what type of information was released to Sony Pictures and filmmakers Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal, who made the Oscar-winning film “The Hurt Locker,” noting that “a Hollywood filmmaker also attended a CIA ceremony in honor of the team that carried out the raid.”

“The administration’s first duty in declassifying material is to provide full reporting to Congress and the American people, in an effort to build public trust through transparency of government,” King states in the letter. “In contrast, this alleged collaboration belies a desire of transparency in favor of a cinematographic view of history.”

“I request an investigation and classified briefing regarding this matter from the Defense Department’s and CIA’s Inspectors General,” said King.

Rep. King further states,  “Leaks of classified information regarding the bin Laden raid have already resulted, according to a June 15, 2011 article in the Washington Post, in the arrests of Pakistanis who were believed by local authorities to have assisted the CIA with the May 1^st raid.”

“Further participation by JSOC [Joint Special Operations Command] and the Agency in making a film about the raid is bound to increase such leaks, and undermine these organizations’ hard-won reputations as ‘quiet professionals’ − reputations important for their continued operational success,” reads the letter.  “And, the success of these organizations is vital to our continued homeland security.”

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney dismissed both the King letter and the New York Times column on Wednesday, telling reporters that Sony and the filmmakers had no more access than the regular media have received.

“The claims are ridiculous,” Carney said in response to a question from ABC’s Jake Tapper.  “When people, including you, are working on articles, books, documentaries, movies involving the president ask to speak to administration officials we do our best to accommodate them to make sure the facts are correct. We do not discuss classified information.”

“I would hope as we face a continued threat from terrorism, the Committee on Homeland Security would have more important topics to discuss,” said Caarney. “The information that this White House provided about that mission and the focus on the president’s role is no different than the information we’ve given to anybody that has worked in this room in the days and weeks after the raid itself. The most specific information we’ve given from this White House about the actual raid, I read to you from this podium. So it’s just simply false.”

King’s letter to the DOD and CIA inspectors general asked that their investigation include, but not be limited to answering the following questions:

1. What consultations, if any, occurred between members of the Executive Office of the President, and Department of Defense and/or CIA officials, regarding the advisability of providing Hollywood executives with access to covert military operators and clandestine CIA officers to discuss the UBL raid?

2. Will a copy of this film be submitted to the military and CIA for pre-publication review, to determine if special operations tactics, techniques and procedures, or Agency intelligence sources and methods, would be revealed by its release?

3. How was the attendance of filmmakers at a meeting with special operators and Agency officers at CIA Headquarters balanced against those officers’ duties to maintain their covers?  How will cover concerns be addressed going forward?

4. What steps did the Administration take to ensure that no special operations tactics, techniques, and procedures were compromised during those meetings?

5. To the extent possible to determine, how many human intelligence sources and how many Agency intelligence methods have been compromised due to leaks about the May 1^st raid?  What effects have these compromises had on the CIA’s collection capabilities?  Will Agency participation in a film about the bin Laden raid add to or exacerbate the effects of these compromises?”

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on Politico-By POLITICO STAFF-On Agusut 11, 2011:

“Here is the full text of President Obama’s remarks during Wednesday’s Iftar dinner at the White House: 



”Thank you. Thank you so much. Everyone, please have a seat, have a seat.

”Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the White House. Tonight is part of a rich tradition here at the White House of celebrating the holy days of many faiths and the diversity that define us as a nation. So these are quintessentially American celebrations—people of different faiths coming together, with humility before our maker, to reaffirm our obligations to one another, because no matter who we are, or how we pray, we’re all children of a loving God.

”Now, this year, Ramadan is entirely in August. That means the days are long, the weather is hot, and you are hungry. So I will be brief.


”I want to welcome the members of the diplomatic corps who are here; the members of Congress, including two Muslim American members of Congress—Keith Ellison and Andre Carson; and leaders and officials from across my administration. Thank you all for being here. Please give them a big round of applause. “To the millions of Muslim Americans across the United States and more—the more than one billion Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a time of reflection and a time of devotion. It’s an occasion to join with family and friends in celebration of a faith known for its diversity and a commitment to justice and the dignity of all human beings. So to you and your families, Ramadan Kareem. 



”This evening reminds us of both the timeless teachings of a great religion and the enduring strengths of a great nation. Like so many faiths, Islam has always been part of our American family, and Muslim Americans have long contributed to the strength and character of our country, in all walks of life. This has been especially true over the past 10 years. 



”In one month, we will mark the 10^th anniversary of those awful attacks that brought so much pain to our hearts. It will be a time to honor all those that we’ve lost, the families who carry on their legacy, the heroes who rushed to help that day and all who have served to keep us safe during a difficult decade. And tonight, it’s worth remembering that these Americans were of many faiths and backgrounds, including proud and patriotic Muslim Americans. 



”Muslim Americans were innocent passengers on those planes, including a young married couple looking forward to the birth of their first child. They were workers in the Twin Towers—Americans by birth and Americans by choice, immigrants who crossed the oceans to give their children a better life. They were cooks and waiters, but also analysts and executives. 



”There, in the towers where they worked, they came together for daily prayers and meals at Iftar. They were looking to the future—getting married, sending their kids to college, enjoying a well-deserved retirement. And they were taken from us much too soon. And today, they live on in the love of their families and a nation that will never forget. And tonight, we’re deeply humbled to be joined by some of these 9/11 families, and I would ask them to stand and be recognized, please. 



”Muslim Americans were first responders—the former police cadet who raced to the scene to help and then was lost when the towers collapsed around him; the EMTs who evacuated so many to safety; the nurse who tended to so many victims; the naval officer at the Pentagon who rushed into the flames and pulled the injured to safety. On this 10^th anniversary, we honor these men and women for what they are—American heroes. 



”Nor let us forget that every day for these past 10 years Muslim Americans have helped to protect our communities as police and firefighters, including some who join us tonight. Across our federal government, they keep our homeland secure, they guide our intelligence and counterterrorism efforts and they uphold the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans. So make no mistake, Muslim Americans help to keep us safe. 



”We see this in the brave service of our men and women in uniform, including thousands of Muslim Americans. In a time of war, they volunteered, knowing they could be sent into harm’s way. Our troops come from every corner of our country, with different backgrounds and different beliefs. But every day they come together and succeed together, as one American team. 



”During the 10 hard years of war, our troops have served with excellence and with honor. Some have made the ultimate sacrifice, among them Army Specialist Kareem Khan. Galvanized by 9/11 to serve his country, he gave his life in Iraq and now rests with his fellow heroes at Arlington. And we thank Kareem’s mother, Elsheba, for being here again tonight. Like Kareem, this generation has earned its place in history, and I would ask all of our service members here tonight—members of the 9/11 Generation—to stand and accept the thanks of our fellow Americans. 



”This year and every year, we must ask ourselves: How do we honor these patriots—those who died and those who served? In this season of remembrance, the answer is the same as it was 10 Septembers ago. We must be the America they lived for and the America they died for, the America they sacrificed for. 



”An America that doesn’t simply tolerate people of different backgrounds and beliefs, but an America where we are enriched by our diversity. An America where we treat one another with respect and with dignity, remembering that here in the United States there is no “them” or “us;” it’s just us. An America where our fundamental freedoms and inalienable rights are not simply preserved, but continually renewed and refreshed—among them the right of every person to worship as they choose. An America that stands up for dignity and the rights of people around the world, whether a young person demanding his or her freedom in the Middle East or North Africa, or a hungry child in the Horn of Africa, where we are working to save lives. 


”Put simply, we must be the America that goes forward as one family, like generations before us, pulling together in times of trial, staying true to our core values and emerging even stronger. This is who we are and this is who we must always be. 



”Tonight, as we near a solemn anniversary, I cannot imagine a more fitting wish for our nation. So God bless you all and God bless the United States of America. Thank you.”

I. FBI Has Mixed Views of Obama Administration!

Posted on NewsMax.com-By Ronald Kessler-On August 10, 2011:

“The FBI has mixed views of the Obama administration, according to candid assessments of Arthur M. “Art” Cummings II, who headed FBI counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations until last year.

For my new book “The Secrets of the FBI,” Cummings told me that after announcing its decision to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in New York City, the Justice Department asked Cummings to prepare an assessment of the security threat that such a trial would pose there.

Cummings resisted. He figured such an assessment from the FBI would be used for political purposes by both Democrats and Republicans. In any case, he never thought the New York idea, which he believed was irresponsible, would ever be carried out.

The effort by Obama administration officials to publicly use euphemisms such as “man-caused disasters” to refer to terrorism or to avoid the terms “Islamists” or “jihadists” in describing the enemy galled Cummings.

“Terrible, terrible” is the way Cummings described those ideas. “Of course Islamists dominate the terrorism of today,” he says. Besides hunting down al-Qaida, Cummings had to contend with bureaucratic rivalries. The Department of Homeland Security could not manage its own immigration responsibilities yet tried to become involved in a range of counterterrorism decisions that were the purview of the FBI, Cummings says.

Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security, maintained that her department should have a “vote” on whether or not to Mirandize a suspect, Cummings says. “It’s the insanity of Washington when representatives of Homeland Security believe they might have a say in whether or not the FBI Mirandizes or doesn’t Mirandize somebody,” Cummings says. “They should not be getting involved in tactical CT [counterterrorism] operational decisions.”

Another agency, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), often got in the way and produced little of value to the bureau, he says.

While the 9/11 commission originally envisioned the office as having several hundred employees to coordinate the intelligence community, the staff has ballooned to 1,500. A small segment of those employees work for the National Counterterrorism Center, which is vital, but the rest of ODNI produces little that Cummings could see to enhance the intelligence effort.

That point was symbolized when Director of National Intelligence James R. Clapper Jr. admitted in a December 2010 interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that he was unaware of the arrests of 12 terrorists in London. It had been all over the news for most of the day. Cummings regarded Clapper as by far the most qualified DNI to have held the post. But the embarrassing lapse spotlighted the folly of creating a bureaucracy on top of operational agencies already on the alert for terror threats.

On the other hand, Cummings has no problem with the policy of both the Obama and Bush administrations that FBI agents read terrorists their rights. He believes that in most cases, the FBI can obtain the intelligence it needs to stop future plots by remaining within the framework of the legal system, including by administering Miranda warnings. The trick is to confront suspects before they are in custody, give them incentives to talk, and establish rapport.

In a rare exception, because he had to be arrested on the spot, that did not happen with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who attempted to blow up a Northwest Airlines plane on Christmas Day of 2009. The 23-year-old suspect talked freely at first.

“In the first hour, he gave us really good information on the front end,” Cummings says. “‘Yep, I did this on behalf of al-Qaida. Yep, it was in Yemen.’” He gave up names, places, training camps. Then he was transported to the University of Michigan Medical Center for a medical procedure. After that, he started to clam up.

“He was under the influence of painkillers, and they’d scrubbed the skin to remove the burnt skin,” Cummings says. As the narcotics wore off, two new agents went in to see him. They were instructed to deal with conditions on the ground as they saw them.

The agents saw the Nigerian the day after his arrest. He was praying. They began by asking elementary questions he had already answered. “He either lied or didn’t give them the answer,” Cummings says. “And at that point, they were like, he’s done. So then they gave him Miranda.”

Over the next five weeks, the FBI worked on him. The focus was on finding out what he cared about. “Is it his mother, is it his family, is it his future?” Cummings says. “Is it shame upon his family? We offer them the possibility that instead of dying in an American prison, maybe sometime in their lifetime they will actually be able to go home and see their family, and they won’t be executed and die at the hands of this nation they hate so much.”

Cummings sent two agents to Nigeria to learn everything they could about Abdulmutallab’s background and family. “They engaged his family and explained this is really, really serious, and it’s in the best interest of your son that we cut a deal of some sort,” Cummings says.

One agent moved in with Abdulmutallab’s uncle, then flew him to Detroit. Later, his father flew to Detroit as well. Both told Abdulmutallab it was in his interest to listen to the agent.

Five weeks after he had stopped talking, Abdulmutallab was cooperating again.

“The intelligence community operators are doing a good job,” Cummings, who was the FBI’s executive assistant director, told me. “It’s the massive bureaucracy around them that slows things down and frustrates the effort. You have this big planning machine generating endless meetings. We would walk out of the meetings shaking our heads.”

Here we have a Congressman who not only saw the disaster down the road but more importantly had a good solution to prevent it.  Isn't that the kind of President we need in the White House instead of elected officials who can't or don't want to see the future disasters and again, more importantly, provide preventative measues to avoid them.  Ron Paul would make a good President.  He may be the closest clone to a Soloman in modern times.  If we had been listening and doing what he recommended America would not now be in this Depression.  It would have been avoided.

On September 10, 2003 (yes you read that date correctly, i.e., 2003) Congress and the American Public was warned by Congressman Ron Paul in the House Financial Services Committee about the subsidies to the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and the National Home Loan Bank Board.  It was not just a warning but a warning with a SOLUTION.  He introduced the Free Housing Market Enhancement Act, which would have removed those government subsidies which in turn would have prevented the painful crash in the housing market.  He states:  "In fact, postponing the necessary, but painful market corrections will only deepen the inevitable fall. The more people invested in the market, the greater the effects across the economy when the bubble bursts."

Read his entire statement at:

http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul128.html

Posted on American Thinker-By Peter Heck-On August 11, 2011:

“It’s a well-known political axiom that presidents will often be credited with accomplishments they did not earn and be criticized for failures that were out of their control.  But just as often, particularly in our modern era where we have—against the wise counsel of our Founders—consolidated more and more power in the hands of our federal executive, presidents own the failures that happen on their watch.  The disastrous and nationally humiliating downgrade of our country’s credit rating was not an inevitable consequence of uncontrollable misfortune.  It wasn’t the result of gridlock or political wrangling between two parties that have bickered over our national debt and credit since the days of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.  It was a remarkable failure of leadership by the man chosen to be the country’s economic caretaker.

For a full three days following the unprecedented embarrassment, the leader of the free world remained silent.  Perhaps he was recovering from an exhausting, multi-day birthday bash and political fundraiser that he threw for himself in two separate cities.  Or maybe his delay was to give his senior staff time to come up with more meaningless platitudes that he could dispassionately read from the TelePrompter, ostensibly to reassure a panicked nation.  But as the president nonchalantly waltzed out to his podium 53 minutes (and 3 days) late, the disquieting sensation had already begun to settle in on even his most ardent supporters: Obama is simply not up to this job.

The substance of his press conference did little to change that increasingly obvious conclusion.  Once again, the man who once campaigned as a visionary of the future retreated behind his now comedic refrain: it’s all Bush’s fault.  Don’t misunderstand: no one would disagree with Obama that the need to reduce our deficit “was true the day [he] took office.”  But why this argument falls flat is because far from reducing the Bush deficits, when it comes to spending more money than we’re taking in, President Obama has outpaced Bush by a jaw-dropping trillion dollars a year.  Or consider this staggering reality: “In just four days last week, President Barack Obama’s administration increased the national debt by more in inflation-adjusted dollars than the administrations of Presidents Truman and Eisenhower increased the national debt over the entire decade of the 1950s.”  This kind of runaway spending makes George Bush look like a penny-pincher.

Perhaps realizing that pointing his finger at his predecessor wasn’t going to cut it, President Obama also dispatched his underlings to start spreading the deranged talking point that this is a “Tea Party downgrade.”  Let’s see if I understand...the only group of people in the country who have, for the last two years, been warning of the need to make drastic spending cuts to avoid a catastrophe like this are responsible for the fact that our political leaders didn’t make drastic spending cuts to avoid a catastrophe like this?  That the left is attempting such a delusional accusation is a clear indication of the level of desperation they feel.

And why wouldn’t they?  The man who once promised to turn back the rise of the oceans and heal the planet was there on national television actually saying, “No matter what some agency might say, we’ve always been and always will be a AAA country.”  The irresponsibility of that statement is difficult to fully grasp.  Obama is two and a half years into the job and is yet to realize that the full faith and credit of the United States is not something that can be maintained with juvenile taunts towards “some agency,” or that our AAA rating can be regained just by a presidential pronouncement.

His mindless press conference, in which he offered no ideas or plans on how to regain our superior credit rating and in which he exhibited a bizarre lack of urgency reflective on someone fundamentally unserious about the gravity of the moment, left even sycophantic supporters like Chris Matthews questioning whether he was up to the task.

Matthews isn’t alone.  Obama supporter Drew Westen wrote in the New York Times:

Those of us who were bewitched by his eloquence on the campaign trail chose to ignore some disquieting aspects of his biography: that he had accomplished very little before he ran for president, having never run a business or a state; that he had a singularly unremarkable career as a law professor, publishing nothing in 12 years at the University of Chicago...and that...he had voted ‘present’ (instead of “yea” or “nay”) 130 times, sometimes dodging difficult issues.

It’s sadly apparent that he’s still dodging difficult issues—which is why after bond rating agencies warned us in July that we must come up with a plan to get our borrowing and spending under control or risk a credit downgrade, Obama offered no such plan, instead asking Congress to allow him to borrow and spend another 2.5 trillion dollars.

The conclusion is incontrovertible: Obama owns this downgrade, and the country is undeniably worse off due to his failed stewardship of our nation’s finances.  At a time begging for leadership, America has found itself a leaderless nation.”

Innovation Drives Economic Growth by Michael Greenstone

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/44080879%2344080879#44038620

Listen to the Truth from a frustrated MSNBC TV Anouncer: Dylan Ratigan

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/44080879%2344080879

We need more people like Mr. Ratigan to express the truth to a bamboozled and unknowning public. Good show...Dylan!

I believe truthful people and ideologies are self-correcting.  I'm very concern that Muslims claim to be peaceful, yet, do little to prevent violent behaviors.  I don't think Mormons, Catholics, Christians or Jews would be embraced members who are violent.  Until the Peaceful Muslims are willing to challenge their radicals elements, then we have a responsibility to address the inconsistency of the message and belief.

The amazing aspect of our Judaic/Christian heritage is a system of accountability.  We have a system called a Republic, where the rule of Law supersedes the oppressive nature of sits of power or the majority.  A single person can challenge any and all comers who has harmed their Declare Rights stated in the Declaration of Independence.  

It is the Declaration of Independence that asserts our identity as Americans.  It is not skin color, race, ideologies, or political affiliation.  It is not a far stretch to infer that a real American cannot be a racists.  If we are all equal we all retain the same status.  Our status is not derived by economics, but by established rights.  Since our rights are derived from God, individually every American retains sovereignty and has the mechanism to challenge the limited power of agencies (i.e. government) which are constrained by Constitutional Limitation.  It is why Thomas Jefferson says, "One man with courage is a majority."

I would oppose and challenge any group or affiliation that would threaten these fundamental rights to promote an ideology whether political or religious.  To replace our system of laws with Sharia (Law of Islam), threatens the existence of our nation and rights.  Personally, I'm more aligned with Patrick Henry who declared, "Give me Liberty, or Give me Death."  However, all good U.S. Marines know it is better to let the other fool die for his country, then to surrender the ability to preserve what has already been secured (paid for in blood).  

The Tea Party 

What’s wrong with this picture?

Posted on America’s Survival-By Cliff Kincaid-On May 10, 2010:

“The Marxists used to be the experts in exploiting human suffering for the purposes of sparking revolution. But the hedge funds are doing better than the Marxists.

Consider that the business publication Barrons has an article headlined on its cover, A savvy hedge-fund manager reveals how to make money on Old Worlds woes. A better headline would have been How to exploit human suffering. At a time when people are dying in Greece because of riots in response to economic problems, what kind of publication would openly advertise how to make money at the expense of others and profit from their misery? 



But this is how the hedge fund short sellers and their apologists work.

First, our media claimed the stock market plunge last Thursday was a fat finger pushing the wrong key on a computer. That ridiculous assertion was laughable. Now, the absurd claim is that it might have been a cyber attack by some unnamed foreign adversary. A conspiracy theory is not needed to explain this. All available evidence points to the involvement of the hedge fund short sellers. These are people who specialize in selling short and then buying long, in order to make money at both ends of the transactions. Any financial analyst with a brain knows that the hedge fund short sellers operate this way. It is not a mystery.

If anything, the Goldman Sachs congressional hearings demonstrated this fact. These people can make money no matter what happens.

The result has been a loss of even more confidence in the system, putting the survival of American capitalism in jeopardy. It is something the Marxists have only dreamed about. 



The on-line version of Barrons has a different headline over the article, which consists of an interview with Adam Fisher, the 38-year-old founder of Commonwealth Opportunity Capital.

This headline says, How to Make Money in a World of Risk. But the point is still the same there is money to be made while the world and eventually America goes up in flames. 



Fishers partner and co-founder, Reagan Silber, competes in the World Series of Poker. No kidding. 



While Fisher is betting on the collapse of the European Unions currency, major upheaval in the United States is not too far behind.

The Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin (GEAB), which predicted the current financial crisis, has been predicting a U.S default on some of its debts. The default has been temporarily postponed because of the unprecedented spending and issuance of debt on top of debt by the Obama Administration. It predicts the next debt crisis in Britain, to be followed inevitably by the United States when a major crisis will affect its public debt holdings.

Interestingly, while Fisher is quoted in Barrons as mostly talking about turmoil in Europe, he is full of praise for John Paulson, who saw the forest for the trees when he bet on a housing market collapse and made billions of dollars.

For his part, Fisher is short on the euro and is betting on a significant change that would mean dissolution or massive devaluation of the European currency. There is a 30 percent probability that the entire European financial system blows up, he says.

These comments are made as if he is playing a board game of Monopoly. But real lives and the savings and jobs of millions of people are at stake.

International Marxists, meanwhile, have seized on the revolutionary consequences of what is happening in Greece, saying that European Communist Parties must organize in opposition, bring down current governments, and replace them instead with the United Socialist States of Europe.

Not surprisingly, Fisher finds nothing objectionable in the short-selling scheme that earned Goldman Sachs an indictment. In that operation, John Paulson helped Goldman select a pile of dubious loans that were likely to fail but were sold to investors anyway. Paulson has not been charged, however. As we noted in a previous column, Although Paulsons role in devising the financial instrument that caused the losses is detailed in the complaint, he is not named as a defendant in the suit.

So the indictment was a ruse designed to convince the public that the regulatory authorities are somehow doing their job. Similarly, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says it is examining Thursdays plunge and will consider issuing new rules. 
Also not surprisingly, Fisher insists the charges against Goldman are flimsy and that it was irrelevant who picked the loans because all of the players are big boys who should have understood the nature of the transaction.

But little people, who lose their homes or much of the value of their homes, get burned. Meanwhile, Freddie Mac, the federal government-owned mortgage-finance company, recently said it will need $10.6 billion more from the U.S. Treasury. It has received $50.7 billion from the taxpayers since November 2008.

Now, because of what happened last Thursday, the little people with good reason are scared to death to invest in the stock market.

What has to be done, argues Zubi Diamond, author of Wizards of Wall Street, is to reinstate the regulations that prevent the hedge fund short sellers from manipulating the market. None of these regulations are in the so-called financial reform bill on Capitol Hill pushed by Senate Democrats such as Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer and backed by President Obama.

As Diamond argued in a recent column, the hedge funds are responsible for 75-90 percent of all trading activities on Wall Street and they are responsible for the extreme market volatility.

He said the most important measures which must be taken to reduce the damage they cause to our system include:

Reinstate and restore the short sale price test regulation known as the uptick rule (to its original condition and not modified). 

End mark to market accounting and replace it with book value, historic cost accounting. 

Reinstate the circuit breakers and the trading curbs to kick in whenever the Dow Jones industrial average drops 150 points to reduce market volatility and massive panic sell-off in order to allow investors time to think before they act.

Consider what happened on Thursday. As Diamond points out, Accenture, with the ticker symbol ACN, dropped from $44 to one cent per share within 15 minutes, and recovered back to $41. Apple computerticker symbol AAPLdropped 60 points in 15 minutes. It went from $258 down to $199 and then recovered to $248. All of this happened within a 15-minute period.

The weak-kneed SEC merely comments that Thursdays unusual trading activity included extreme volatility for a number of individual securities. This is inconsistent with the effective functioning of our capital markets and we will make whatever structural or other changes are needed.

John Paulson, at the center of the housing market collapse and the Goldman Sachs scheme, is a leading member of the Managed Funds Association (MFA), which Diamond calls the most powerful special interest group operating in Washington, D.C.

The Politico noted in a recent article that the MFA and another lobby for hedge funds spent $7.3 million in 2009 and $2 million on lobbyists in the first three months of this year and that this money and their political connections have meant that hedge funds have largely escaped the new regulations in the financial reform bill.

Politico reported, One of the wealthiest hedge fund managers, John Paulson, held a $1,000-per-person fundraiser for Dodd last year and gave the maximum contribution to his now-defunct re-election campaign. And when Schumer ran the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, he collected almost $150,000 from 10 of the richest hedge fund managers.

The publication added, The MFAs chief lobbyist, Roger Hollingsworth, worked as deputy staff director of the Senate Banking Committee and was one of Dodds senior advisers during the previous Congress.

Hollingsworths bio also discloses that he previously served as deputy chief of staff and legislative director for Senator Jon S. Corzine (D-NJ), and as banking committee aide to Schumer.

Back in January 2007, according to the New York Times, Schumer invited a whos who of hedge funds to dinner at Bottega del Vino on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and gave some simple advice to the billionaires in his midst. He told them, If you want Washington to work with you, you had better work better with one another. 



They have.

While Diamond has been consistently correct about the problems in the markets and what must be done to correct them, he doesn’t have the kind of bio that makes him attractive to the major media. Producers and correspondents like the university professor-types and the professional talkers and money managers who get invited back on the shows, time after time, without regard to whether what they are saying has been accurate or not. 



But there is much that recommends Diamond, who understands how America is supposed to work and why it has been historically attractive to so many immigrants. Capitalism is synonymous with America he says. Capitalism is Americanism. 



This is from his official bio:

The author/investor arrived in America as an African immigrant and worked in fast food restaurants as a regular employee, then as a night porter, cleaning up the restaurant after-hours. In an effort to improve himself, Zubi watched night managers complete closing procedures and inventory and advanced his knowledge where he was promoted to a shift manager position, and later became a General manager.

From his early days as a night porter and a restaurant manager, Zubi saved more than half the money he earned and in a few years amassed enough in savings to make down payments for the purchase of two single family residential homes in the inner city, which he rented out to tenants as income properties.

Over the years as the properties appreciated in value along with Zubis continued habit of compulsory savings discipline, with his eyes on the price of owning a fast food restaurant franchise, he built up the financial statement and the balance sheet necessary to qualify and gain approval to purchase the licensing agreement to operate a multi unit fast food franchise operation in the west coast.

Later, Diamond got interested in the financial markets and studied them, becoming a successful investor and trader. 



By contrast, another immigrant, George Soros, who met with John Paulson before the financial crisis of 2008, became rich by betting on economic and financial collapse. He has dedicated his life to transforming America into what he calls an open society, tolerating and even approving evil and immoral activities and causes such as illegal drug use, abortion and homosexual rights, and prostitution. 



As we wrote back in 2004, when Soros backed Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry in his first major attempt to take control of the White House, Soros may be the biggest political fat cat of all time. Convicted in France of insider trading, Soros specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests. He is known as the man who broke the Bank of England. His power is such that his statements alone can cause currencies to go up or down. Other people suffer so he can get rich.

Kerry went down to defeat, but Barack Obama, backed by Soros in 2008, was a successful candidate. The financial crash in 2008, brought on by Paulson, Soros and associates, guaranteed his election.

Needless to say, Soros has been spared from any official scrutiny because of his political connections to the Obama Administration and Congressional liberals. He is also a member of the MFA.

Diamond calls the Center for American Progress (CAP), which is the major beneficiary of Soros largesse in Washington, D.C., the Center for American Destruction. You will never catch CAP, which has rehired the disgraced communist revolutionary Van Jones, holding one of its endless series of seminars on the dangers posed by Soros and other hedge fund short sellers. But the worst is yet to come.

The Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin says we are in the midst of global geopolitical dislocation, which will ultimately result in the destruction of the U.S. dollar and a New World Order. 



It declares, The fuss made over Greece by the English and U.S. media in particular tried to hide from the majority of the economic, financial and political players the fact that the Greek problem wasnt a sign of an upcoming Eurozone crisis but, in fact, an early warning of the next big shock of the global systemic crisis, that is to say a collision between, on the one hand, the virtual British and U.S. economies founded on untenable levels of public and private debt and, on the other hand, the double wall of borrowing, maturing from 2011 onwards, combined with a global shortage of available funds for refinancing at low rates.



It says that President Obama talks about the historic dimension of the crisis but that his policies are destined to fail because they pile more debt on top of more debt.

The real question is whether Obama knows they will fail and is proceeding with his reckless financial plan anyway. Based on his Marxist views and background, the answer has to be yes. 



So after the hedge funds make money off the collapse of Greece, Britain, and perhaps other national economies in Europe, the U.S. will be ripe for the picking. That means more turmoil, perhaps riots in the streets, and more government control over the people and their lives.

Meanwhile, some American conservatives gripe about U.S. money going through the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to bail out Greece, oblivious to the fact that the U.S. itself will eventually have to come to the IMF for help. The New World Order will be dominated by the IMF, the United Nations, other global institutions, and China and its allies.

Some American conservatives also gripe about the financial reform bill as if it is too tough. They ignore, as Diamond points out, the difference between good and bad Wall Street, the latter being the hedge fund short sellers who specialize in making money as companies and countries collapse. The bad Wall Street has escaped untouched.

While Congress considers a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, the Global Europe Anticipation Bulletin says it is clear that that the U.S. central bank has a balance sheet increasingly polluted with toxic assets and resorts to accounting tricks to hide the fact that it has become one of the major buyers of US Treasury bonds. This also portends financial bankruptcy.

We dont need an audit to find this out.

Diamond says Republicans are failing to address the problem, apparently because the regulatory errors began under former Republican Congressman Christopher Cox, when he ran the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under President George W. Bush. This is when the SEC began removing the uptick rule, the circuit breakers, and the trading curbs, and began mark to market accounting.

Plus, MFA President Richard Baker is a former Republican congressman. His position pays nearly $1 million a year. In a controversial move, he actually left Congress in February 2008 to take the position.

Diamond says he has provided a detailed letter about what needs to be done in the financial arena to Michael Steele, Republican National Committee chairman, with no response. 



We are in a fight, he says. This is a fight to save America, to save capitalism and protect us from the disaster of socialism, which is fast approaching.

The irony is that the Marxists are not primarily to blame. But as we have seen by the riots in Greece, they will be there to further exploit the situation.”

The Shared Agendas of Mr. Soros and President Obama:

“In December of 2006, Soros, who had previously hosted a fundraiser for Obama during the latter's 2004 Senate campaign, met with Obama in Soros's New York office. Just a few weeks later, on January 16, 2007 Obama announced that he would form a presidential exploratory committee and was contemplating a run for the White House. Within hours, Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign-finance laws. Later that week, the New York Daily News reported that Soros would support Obama rather than Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, though Soros pledged to back the New York senator were she to emerge as the nominee. But it was clear that Soros considered Obama to be the more electable candidate of the two. Most importantly, Obama's economic and political prescriptions for America were wholly accordant with those of Mr. Soros.”

Obama looked at Michelle, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw a $1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy." Michelle shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy". Hearing their exchange, the pilot of plane said to his co-pilot,"Such big-shots back there. I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy."!! If you're one of 256 million, pass this on

I BELIEVE MY EXPERIENCE ATENDING DEM REP PAULTONKO WAS A POSITIVE ONE FOR MYSELF AND THE TEA PARTY.

I WAS NOT OBNOXIOUS, AND MY POSITIVE QUESTIONS WERE DESIGNED TO DRAW ANSWERS THAT DISPLAYED THE NEGATIVITY OF THE DEMOCRATS THINKING. I WAS WELCOMED WELL BY THE DEMOCRATS IN ATTENDANCE EVEN THOUGH I IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS A FREE THINKING MEMBER OIF THE TEA PARTY, I WAS POSITIVE, RESPECTFULL AND FRIENDLY AND RECIEVED THE SAME TREATMENT. I BELIEVED I DISPELLED SOME OF THE NEGATIVE PERCEPTIONS THAT THE LIBERAL HIERCHY PREACHES ABOUT US AND I ENCOURAGED THE PEOPLE IN ATTENDENCE TO MAKE THEIR OWN OPINIONS AND TO NOT REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP. I THINK MORE OF US SHOULOD ATTEND SOME DEMOCRAT TOWN HALLS AND LET OUR INDIVIDUAL PERSONALITIES SHOW THE FOLLOWERS THAT WE ARE NOT THE TERRORISTS, HOSTAGE TAKERS ETC. THAT THEIR LEADERS PAINT US AS.  THE MORE OF THEM THAT WE CAN CONVINCE THAT THE LIBERAL RHETORIC ABOUT THE TEA PARTY IS PLAIN B S. THIS IS THE BESY WAY WE CAN COMBAT THE B S IN THE LIBERAL MEDIA AND SHOUTED OUT BY THE LIBERAL PUNDITS.

there were about 20-25 people there, after the uysual congressspeak, I asked tonko if he had voted for "cut, cap and balance", he said he did not and when I asked him why not, he said because it did not have any revenue increase. I asked him how he felt about reid not allowing a debate in the senate. surprise, he said that any legislation passed by the house deserved to be debated in the senate.

I observed a few democrats who appeared to be a little disturbed by the lack of action on the part of senate democrats on the debt crisis.  I found that none of them ever watched Fox News because they were told not to by the local democrat leadersd.  They were surprised that JUAN WILLIAMS, BOB BECHTEL, ALAN COLMES AND OITHER LIB ERAL DEMOCRATS WERE REGULARS ON FOX. I ADVFISED THEM TO CHECK IT OUT FOR THEMSELVES INSTEAD IN TQAKING OTHER PEOPLES WORD. I ALSO INFORMED THEM THE TEA PARTY TO THEM OF AN OPEN FORUM FOR AMERICANS OF EVERY POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS,  ETC MIX OF AMERICANS WHO DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH EACH OTHER BUT ALWAYS RESPECT EACH OTHERS RIGHT AND DUTY TO EXPLORE THE ISSUES AND FORM THEIR OWN OPINION, I TOLD THEM WE WERE NOT COMMITTED TO ANY ONE PERSON OR MANAGEMENT GROUP BUT WERE FREE TO EXPRESS OUR OWN OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS IN AN OPEN FORUM. I HOPE THAT I CONVINCED SOME OF THEM THAT THEY SHOULD NOT FOLLOW BLINDLY ANY POLITICAL ORGINIZATION BUT TO BE IN DEPENDENT IN THEIR OWN THINKING.

I WAS SHOCKED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW THAT IN A FREE SOCIETY WE ARE ALL FREE TO VOTE FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL CANBDITATE. THEY WERE BELIEVING THAT BEING REGHISTERED IN A POLITICAL MEANT THAT THEY COULD NOT VOTE FOR ANY ONE EXCEPT THAT PARTY CANDITATES. I HOPE I WAS ABLE TO EDUCATE SOME OF THEM THAT THEIR VOTE WAS A FREE AND NON OBLIGATORY DUTY.

Dear Fellow Patriots:

I wanted to take the liberty of sharing an e-mail that I forwarded to our NM U.S. Congressman Martin Heinich today regarding my concerns with Mr. George Soros’ anti-American agendas, along with Congressman Heinrich’s voting record while he has been a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, which seems to be in line with Mr. Soros’ anti-American agendas-You Decide:

Capitol Office

336 Cannon HOB

Washington, D.C. 20515

Phone: (202) 225-6316

Fax: (202) 225-4975

Dear Congressman Heinrich:

I recently came across the following information that I wanted to take the liberty of sharing with you because, after conducting my own research and/or further investigation into the validity of the information and its source(s), along with taking some time to digest the information, I have honestly become extremely concerned about what this information reveals about your voting record while a member of the House:

Note:  The following is some extremely disturbing information regarding an individual by the name of Mr. George Soros, who is a major Democratic/Progressive political campaign contributor.  Included below are: (a) a short synopsis of both his personal and professional and/or political history/background; (b) his agendas, which I honestly found to be anti-American; (c) his political campaign contributions; (d) his American “Regime Change” agenda; (e) his establishment of the Open Society Institute (OSI) in 1979; (f) his involvement in the creation of the so-called "Shadow Democratic Party" or "Shadow Party" in 2003; and (g) his shared agendas with President Obama:

Introducing George Soros:

“Mr. George Soros was born on August 12, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary. His father, Teodoro Schwartz, was a successful attorney and an Orthodox Jew who, in 1936, changed the family surname from Schwartz to Soros in order to enable his family to conceal its Jewish identity and thus to survive the Nazi Holocaust.

When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, Mr. Soros' father decided to split up his family, so as to minimize the chance that all its members would be killed together. He purchased forged papers for each of them, and then bribed a government official to claim him as his Christian godson and to let the boy live with him.

"While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being transported to death camps," reports the Sweetness and Light website, "George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews."

In 1947 Mr. Soros' family relocated from Hungary to England. Five years later, he graduated from the London School of Economics. He subsequently worked for a London stockbroker.

In 1956 Mr. Soros, with meager personal assets, immigrated to the United States. He would go on to become one of the worlds leading hedge fund investors and currency traders.

In 1969 he started his enormously successful Quantum Fund, which, over the ensuing three decades, yielded its long-term investors a four thousand-fold gain on their initial 1969 investments.

In a $10 billion 1992 deal whose success was contingent upon the devaluation of the British Pound, Mr. Soros earned himself a $1 billion profit and the title, "the man who broke the Bank of England." To date, he has amassed a personal fortune exceeding $7 billion. In addition, his management company controls billions of dollars more in investor assets.

In 1979 Mr. Soros established the Open Society Institute (OSI), which serves as the flagship of a network of Soros foundations that donate tens of millions of dollars each year to a wide array of individuals and organizations that share his agendas.

Those agendas can be summarized as follows:

• promoting the view that America is institutionally an oppressive nation

• promoting the election of leftist political candidates throughout the United States

• opposing virtually all post-9/11 national security measures enacted by U.S. government, particularly the Patriot Act

• depicting American military actions as unjust, unwarranted, and immoral

• promoting open borders, mass immigration, and a watering down of current immigration laws

• promoting a dramatic expansion of social welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes

• promoting social welfare benefits and amnesty for illegal aliens

• defending the civil rights and liberties of suspected anti-American terrorists and their abettors

• financing the recruitment and training of future activist leaders of the political Left

• advocating America's unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending

• opposing the death penalty in all circumstances

• promoting socialized medicine in the United States

• promoting the tenets of radical environmentalism, whose ultimate goal, as writer Michael Berliner has explained, is "not clean air and clean water, [but] rather ... the demolition of technological/industrial civilization"

• bringing American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations

• promoting racial and ethnic preferences in academia and the business world alike

• promoting taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand

• advocating stricter gun-control measures

• advocating the legalization of marijuana”

Mr. Soros' Political Campaign Contributions:

“Apart from the more than $5 billion that Soros' foundation network has donated to leftist groups, Soros personally has made campaign contributions to such notable political candidates as Charles Rangel, Al Franken, Tom Udall, Joe Sestak, Sherrod Brown, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Ken Salazar, Patrick Leahy, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Howard Dean, Bill Clinton, Tom Harkin, Jon Corzine, Joe Biden, Richard Durbin, Lane Evans, Dennis Kucinich, Maurice Hinchey, and Al Gore. He also has given large sums of money to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic National Committee Services Corporation.”

Open Society Institute (OSI) and Funded Agendas:

“Mr. Soros is one of the most powerful men on earth. A New York hedge fund manager, he has amassed a personal fortune estimated at about $13 billion (as of 2009). His company, Soros Fund Management, controls at least another $25 billion in investor assets.

Following is a sampling of the major agendas advanced by groups that Soros and OSI support financially:

•Organizations that accuse America of violating the civil rights and liberties of many of its residents;

•Organizations that depict America as a nation whose enduring racism must be counterbalanced by racial and ethnic preferences in favor of nonwhites;

•Organizations that specifically portray the American criminal-justice system as racist and inequitable;

•Organizations that call for massive social change, and for the recruitment and training of activist leaders to help foment that change;

•Organizations that disparage capitalism while promoting a dramatic expansion of social-welfare programs funded by ever-escalating taxes;

•Organizations that support socialized medicine in the United States;

•Organizations that strive to move American politics to the left by promoting the election of progressive political candidates;

•Organizations that promote leftist ideals and worldviews in the media and the arts;

•Organizations that seek to inject the American judicial system with leftist values:

•Organizations that advance leftist agendas by infiltrating churches and religious congregations;

•Think tanks that promote leftist policies;

•Organizations that promote open borders, mass immigration, a watering down of current immigration laws, increased rights and benefits for illegal aliens, and ultimately amnesty;

•Organizations that oppose virtually all post-9/11 national-security measures enacted by the U.S. government;

•Organizations that defend suspected anti-American terrorists and their abettors;

•Organizations that depict virtually all American military actions as unwarranted and immoral;

•Organizations that advocate America’s unilateral disarmament and/or a steep reduction in its military spending;

•Organizations that favor global government which would bring American foreign policy under the control of the United Nations or other international bodies;

•Organizations that promote radical environmentalism;

•Organizations that support drug legalization;

•Organizations that support euthanasia for the terminally ill;

•Organizations that have pressured mortgage lenders to make loans to undercapitalized borrowers, a practice that helped spark the sub-prime mortgage crisis and housing-market collapse of 2008;

•Organizations that oppose the death penalty in all circumstances, etc.”

Mr. Soros’ American “Regime Change” Agenda: 

“In 2003-04, Soros's primary focus was on the United States, whose government he considered to be at least as dangerous and oppressive as other communist and authoritarian regimes. “I believe deeply in the values of an open society,” Soros said. “For the past 15 years I have focused my energies on fighting for these values abroad. Now I am doing it in the United States.”223 Asserting that he could “do a lot more about the issues I care about by changing the government than by pushing the issues,”224 Soros set out to “puncture the bubble of American supremacy.”225 To accomplish this, he would create a political apparatus of extraordinary influence.”

Shadow Party:

“In one of his most significant and effective efforts to shape the American political landscape, Mr. Soros was the prime mover in the creation of the so-called "Shadow Democratic Party" or "Shadow Party" in 2003.

This term refers to a nationwide network of more than five-dozen unions, non-profit activist groups, and think tanks whose agendas are ideologically to the left, and which are engaged in campaigning for the Democrats.

This network's activities include fundraising, get-out-the-vote drives, political advertising, opposition research, and media manipulation."

The Shadow Party was conceived and organized principally by George Soros, Hillary Clinton and Harold McEwan Ickes—all identified with the Democratic Party left.”

The Shared Agendas of Mr. Soros and President Obama:

“In December of 2006, Soros, who had previously hosted a fundraiser for Obama during the latter's 2004 Senate campaign, met with Obama in Soros's New York office. Just a few weeks later, on January 16, 2007 Obama announced that he would form a presidential exploratory committee and was contemplating a run for the White House. Within hours, Soros sent the senator a contribution of $2,100, the maximum amount allowable under campaign-finance laws. Later that week, the New York Daily News reported that Soros would support Obama rather than Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, though Soros pledged to back the New York senator were she to emerge as the nominee. But it was clear that Soros considered Obama to be the more electable candidate of the two. Most importantly, Obama's economic and political prescriptions for America were wholly accordant with those of Mr. Soros.”

Since my last post, Saturday, August 6, 2011, I have noticed some curious interest.  I own my own company and I regularly check the "hits" on my website for market analysis.  Each day's data are available the next day.  What I found was one hit from guess where?  Moscow, Russia.  Moreover, I recall having hits from two separate individuals back about two years ago when I was writing on another blog.  The nature and content of those blogs were like my Saturday blog.  (http://teapartyorg.ning.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-defeat-the-invisible-enemy-within)  I had no such interest from Moscow between then and now until Saturday. 

So, what am I implying?  Well, since the content of my August 6th blog is essentially anti-communist, pro-American, and an individual from the most infamous Communist country apparently wanted to find out more about me, we have to assume that the Communists in Moscow find what I said interesting.  More likely, my content was  threatening to the Communist agenda.  Recall from that August 6th blog, I tied the Democratic Party in America directly to the Communist Party. 

Shifting gears, it seems to me the Tea Party embodies the same spirit of independence that was present during the American Revolution in 1776; that courageous plan to free ourselves of tyranny from Great Britain.  Although history generally gives little credit to the great patriot, Patrick Henry (For example, his name was not on the Declaration of Independence.), Henry was actually THE leader of the fight for our independence.  I encourage you to read what you can about Mr. Henry.  For example, the book by Norine Campbell (1969) entitled "Patrick Henry:  Patriot and Statesman" (Devin-Adair) is a good primer.

What I have found in reading this important book is the striking similarity in the events and spirit of our American Revolution and the current one that we now lead.  One thing I would like to share here, and then I will be through for now, is that back then, the Patriots had the same problem as we concerning half-hearted politicians.  Many wanted to stay safe under the King of England and not venture forth to form a new, independent country.  Specifically, we know that our Republican Party suffers from "moderate" members.  Rush Limbaugh has correctly identified moderates as actually being liberals in disguise, and he's right.  The Patriots had the same problem.

Campbell supports this conclusion with a quote of Patrick Henry's comments when he and his colleagues were organizing the "resolutions for independence" on May 20, 1776.  According to a quote in Campbell's book, Patrick Henry said (p. 212):

"Moderation falsely so called, hath nearly brought on us final ruin.  And to see those who have so fatally advised us, still guiding, or at least sharing our public councils alarms me."

 In other words, there is indeed good reason to rid ourselves of so-called moderates because they provide "false" guidance and leadership.  As I have said before, who cares if they call us a silly name such as "extremists"?  We must overcome this kind of fear.  As soldiers, we must not turn back or sway from side to side, but remain steadfast and headstrong without compromise!  But we MUST continue to aggressively  weed-out the spineless lest we lose the Republic for which our brave have already fought for and died.
