Voter Fraud: "The Worst That I Have Seen & It Was State Wide In The Pivotal Swing State Of FL

Voter Fraud: “The Worst That I Have Seen & It Was State Wide In The Pivotal Swing State Of FL. State Wide Had An Average Voter Turnout Of An Unbelievable 141%. Every County In Florida Had A Mnimum Of 114% Voter Turnout. The Nation’s Average Voter Turnout Is Around 70% At Best. One County In FL Had A Turnout Of 182.35%.”

The election of 2012 is proving to be the most corrupt election ever in the United States. Stories are coming in from all over the nation where the electronic machines check off Obama when Romney’s name was chosen. Has the left finally been able to rig the machines so that no matter who is voted for their candidate gets the vote? I think so.

In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions Romney did not get one single vote. Obama got them all. Most dictators can’t get results like that. In Maine they are looking into allegations of voter fraud in several counties where blacks went into polling places to vote but there are no blacks that live in the community.

The worst that I have seen and it was state wide in the pivotal swing state of Florida. State wide had an average voter turnout of an unbelievable 141%. Every county in Florida had a minimum of 114% voter turnout. The nations average voter turnout is around 70% at best. One county in Florida had a turnout of 182.35%.

How can any reasonable person not have serious questions about these numbers? How can the Republican party simply stand by and not do anything about what is obviously voter fraud. AG Eric Holder has fought every single state that has tried to establish some form of voter ID. It is plan as the nose on your face that these laws are needed. The lefts cries of voter suppression are only half right. We are not trying to suppress the vote of any legal voter. Having an ID is part of everyday life. You have to have one to cash a check, get prescriptions, go to the Democrat National Convention, vote in a union election, but the unions oppose national voter ID laws, interesting isn’t it? What we are trying to suppress are those that are voting multiple times, dead people. I have been told that when most voters vote republican when they are alive, they only vote Democrat when the die.

In an excerpt from an article on WND.com Joseph Farah wrote: In September, the Columbus Dispatch in Ohio reported this sad and ugly news: “More than one out of every five registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote. In two counties, the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population: Northwestern Ohio’s Wood County shows 109 registered voters for every 100 eligible, while in Lawrence County along the Ohio River it’s a mere 104 registered per 100 eligible. Another 31 counties show registrations at more than 90 percent of those eligible, a rate regarded as unrealistic by most voting experts. The national average is a little more than 70 percent. In a close presidential election where every vote might count, which ones to count might become paramount on Election Day – and in possible legal battles afterward.”

The House Of Cards Started To Crumble: We Have Reached A Tipping Point & That Things Are Only Going

The House Of Cards Started To Crumble: We Have Reached A Tipping Point & That Things Are Only Going To Get Worse From Here
Monday, November 19, 2012 11:00
 

 

 

A wave of pessimism has swept over the economy, IF you think November Data is bad wait until January!

US Capital Spending Plummets To Recession Levels

from Zerohedge:

Back in April, we did an extensive analysis of what, in our opinion, is the primary reason for the slow burn experienced by the US, and global economy, and why virtually every liquidity pathway used by central banks is hopeless clogged: the complete lack of capital expenditures at the corporate level, and lack of (re)investment spending. Specifically we said that in both the context of Japan’s plunging corporate profitability over the past 30 years despite year after year of record budget deficits, and its implications everywhere else, that “we get back to what we have dubbed the primary cause of all of modern capitalism’s problems: a dilapidated, aging, increasingly less cash flow generating asset base! Because absent massive Capital Expenditure reinvestment, the existing asset base has been amortized to the point of no return, and beyond. The problem is that as David Rosenberg pointed out earlier, companies are now forced to spend the bulk of their cash on dividend payouts, courtesy of ZIRP which has collapsed interest income. Which means far less cash left for SG&A, i.e., hiring workers, as temp workers is the best that the current “recovering” economy apparently can do. It also means far, far less cash for CapEx spending. Which ultimately means a plunging profit margin due to decrepit assets no longer performing at their peak levels, and in many cases far worse.” Today, with the usual six month or so delay, this fundamental topic has finally made the mainstream media with a WSJ piece titled “Investment Falls Off a Cliff: U.S. Companies Cut Spending Plans Amid Fiscal and Economic Uncertainty.”

In the meantime, here is the pretty WSJ chart proving the collapse in CapEx:

**The Worst Economic Numbers In More Than A Year**

WSJ: US Companies Generating ‘Investment Cliff’

from moneynews:

Companies in the United States are reining in investment plans at the fastest rate since the recession, posing another hurdle to the lukewarm recovery.

Half of the country’s 40 largest publicly traded corporate investors have announced plans to trim capital spending this year or next, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of conference calls and securities filings.

Investment in equipment and software, a key metric of corporate health, stalled in the third quarter for the first time since early 2009, The Journal said, and corporate investment in new buildings has fallen.

Q3 Earnings In One Chart

from Zerohedge:

A shockingly low30% of S&P 500 firms beat revenue expectations in the prior quarter and while Bloomberg’s data suggests around 65% beat earnings expectations, the in-period adjustment of expectations (analysts ratcheting down earnings as the season progresses) naturally biases this to look rosier. The critical question is – how much more fat is there to cut? With Sales (and outlooks) so weak, how many more jobs need to be cut to meet margin expectations? 2013 top- and bottom-line (+13.6% EPS growth) expectations remain magnificent in their optimism – do you believe in miracles?

SCHORK: Don’t Blame Hurricane Sandy, The Economic Downturn In October Is Real

from businessinsider:

Factories can’t run without fossil fuel feed stocks.

 

Which is why oil market guru Stephen Schork leads off his Monday note discussing explaining his jaundiced view that Superstorm Sandy alone caused October manufacturing data to fall off.

… the U.S. factory complex has now failed to grow or has contracted in five of the last eight months.

Yet, in spite of the dismal track record of the previous seven months, somehow, as the Fed claims below, the contraction in economic growth for October was all the fault of Hurricane Sandy.

Industrial production declined 0.4 percent in October after having increased 0.2 percent in September. Hurricane Sandy, which held down production in the Northeast region at the end of October, is estimated to have reduced the rate…

DERIVATIVE MARKETS CONTRACTING: Credit And Derivatives Are Decreasing At An Alarming Rate!!

Money contraction equals deflation and it is contracting now. Last time I saw this happen was in 2008. Bond yeilds 10yr from 1.7% to 1.58% in a matter of a week.

Look at the debt clock. Credit and derivatives are decreasing at an alarming rate, thus the overall money creation. http://www.usdebtclock.org/

Quantitative easing lowers US bond yields leading to higher bond prices and lower stock prices. The crash will lead to US bond downgrade causing bond yields to rise and the stocks to jump and then hyperinflation.

Some pretty <snip> serious people in the financial world, that they may be planning for a hyperinflationary event…followed by a return to gold + a basket of commodities backed currencies from China, Eurozone, and the U.S.A.

The Suspension Of Habeas Corpus In America: Obama: A President Who Places Himself Above The Law.

The Suspension Of Habeas Corpus In America: Obama: A President Who Places Himself Above The Law.
Monday, November 19, 2012 13:21
 

Far from having broken with his Republican predecessor, Democratic President Barack Obama has now reinforced the law of exception that he criticised when he was a senator. It is now possible to deprive United States citizens of their fundamental rights because they have taken part in armed action against their own country, but also when they take a political position favourable to those who use military action to resist the Empire. Worse – Barack Obama has added to the law John Yoo’s “Unitary Executive theory,” which puts an end to the principles of the separation of powers as defined by Montesquieu. The security policy of the United States President now escapes all control.

The Presidential elections, and the game of a possible changeover between Democrats and Republicans, cannot hide a marked tendency towards mutation in the form of the United States executive, regardless of the colour of the Presidential ticket. And it seems that the most significant change in the law has taken place under President Obama.

Barack Obama was elected by evoking a future based on respect for the fundamental rights of individuals and nations. But assessment of his presidency reveals an entirely different picture. The visible aspects of this, such as the failure to close down Guantánamo Bay, the maintenance of exceptional military tribunals or the practice of torture in Afghanistan, are only the tip of the iceberg. These elements only allow us to note the continuity between the Bush and Obama administrations. However, there has been such reinforcement of the previous political structure that the form of the state has now changed, creating a hitherto unseen modification of the relation between the authorities and the citizens of the United States.

The possibility of treating US citizens as foreign ’terrorists’ has been a constant objective of the government executive since the attacks of 9/11. By the new prerogative which has been awarded him by the National Defense Authorization Act – that of being able to nullify Habeas Corpus for US citizens and not just for foreign nationals – the Obama administration has achieved what the previous government had only planned but never instituted.

End of Habeas Corpus for foreigners

The Patriot Act, which became effective on the 26th October 2001, already authorised indefinite detention without indictment for foreigners suspected of having links to terrorist organisations.

In order to finally bring these prisoners to justice, special tribunals and military commissions were created by Presidential decree, the Military Order of 13th November 2001 [1]. This executive act enables the trial, by these military tribunals, of foreigners suspected of being in contact with Al Qaeda, or having “committed, prepared or helped to devise acts of international terrorism against the USA”.

The state of war was invoked to justify the institution of these laws, which are so harmful to liberty that they even violate the Military Code itself. These tribunals were set up to judge foreigners suspected of terrorism, and no proof which could invalidate such charges is admissible by either civil or military tribunals.

By voting for the Military Commissions Act [2], in September 2006, the Congress chambers legitimised the military commissions. The law considerably extends the notion of “illegal enemy combatant”, which no longer describes only foreigners captured on the field of battle, but also foreigners or US citizens who have never left their country of origin. While US citizens indicted on the basis of this notion of illegal enemy combatant must be deferred before civil courts, it is not the case for foreigners, who may be judged by military commissions.

In these exceptional courts, defendants do not have the right to choose their own lawyer – instead, the defense lawyer will be a military person designated by the President, who also designates the military judges and determines the degree of “physical coercion” that can be applied to the prisoner. The lawyer also has no access to evidentiary elements of the case which may be classified as “secret”. Inscription of the ’enemy’ in criminal law

The Military Commissions Act introduces the notion of enemy into criminal law. It gives the President of the United States the power to so designate not only his own citizens, but also any nationals of countries with which the USA is not at war. A person may be prosecuted as an “illegal enemy combatant” not on the basis of proof, but simply because they have been labelled as such by the executive of the United States. Integrated in the law, the charge no longer refers only to a state of emergency, like the Military Order of 2001, but becomes permanent. The inscription of this anomie into the law establishes the exception as a constant. It mutates the judicial and political order by creating a purely subjective law which is at the entire discretion of the executive.

On the 28th October 2009, President Obama signed the Military Commissions Act of 2009 [3] which amended the Military Commissions Act of 2006. The reform was formally necessary for the new administration, because in 2006, Barak Obama was one of 34 senators who opposed the old legislation.

The new law no longer mentions ’illegal enemy combatants’, but “hostile non-protected enemies”. However, the main thrust remains – the inscription of the notion of ’enemy’ into criminal law, and thus the fusion of criminal and military law. But the term “belligerent”, which characterises the notion of ’enemy’, widens the field of incrimination. It no longer concerns only combatants, but also “persons who are engaged in conflict against the USA”. The new definition also applies not only to people captured on or near a field of battle, but also to any individuals who act or even express solidarity with those opposing the US armed forces, or even simply the aggressive policies of the US governement.

The end of Habeas Corpus for US citizens

The National Defense Authorization Act [4] signed by President Obama on the 31st December 2011 authorises the indefinite detention, without trial or indictement, of any US citizens designated as enemies by the executive. The individuals concerned are not only those who have been captured on the field of battle, but also those who have never left the United States or participated in any military action. The law concerns any person designated by the administration as “a member of Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, and who takes part in hostile action against the United States”, but also anyone who “substantially supports these organisations”. This formula enables an extensive and flexible use of the law. For example, it would enable the government to lash out at any civil defence organisations who seek to protect the constitutional rights of US citizens who have been designated by the executive as enemies of the USA.

Primacy of values over the law

By signing this document, Obama has declared that his administration will not authorise the unlimited military detention without trial of US citizens, stating that this possibility would not be contrary to US law, but only to “American values”. It is in the name of these values that he will refrain from using the opportunity offered by the law, but not because this form of imprisonment would be unconstitutional. He confirms that the National Defense Authorization Act does not in fact provide any new prerogatives. The President has had these extraordinary powers since the 14th September 2001, when Congress adopted a resolution stipulating: “that the President is authorised to use all necessary and appropriate force against nations, organisations or persons who have planned, authorised, committed or assisted the terrorist attacks of the 11th September 2001….” So, in opposition to the framework of the text, he aligns himself with G. Bush’s statement that the agreement enabling the President to engage force offers him unlimited authority, in space and time, to act against any potential aggressor, and not only those implicated in the attacks of 9/11.

The authorisation itself is preceded by a foreword stating: “it is recognised that the President has the authority under the Constitution to dissuade and defend against acts of international terrorism against the United States”. G. Bush regularly used this phrase to justify the violations of constitutional rights of US citizens. President Obama has adopted the same interpretation in order to deny the innovative nature of a law which enables him to do away with Habeas Corpus for any US citizen.

A President who places himself above the law

Here, primacy no longer resides in the legal text, but in presidential initiative. It’s entirely at his own discretion that Obama may choose to refrain from using the authorisation, conferred by the law, to imprison US citizens indefinitely and without indictment. In the same way, he opposes the obligation for military detention of foreign terrorists. Speaking of this, he confirms that his administration will “interpret and apply the clauses described below in such a way as to preserve the flexibility upon which our security depends, and to maintain the values on which this country is founded”. Thus he has deliberately side-stepped the rule that once he has signed a text of law, the President will apply it loyally. Obama has reversed the restrictive character of the legal text in favour of Presidential freedom. In the same way, the concept of “American values” takes precedence over the law.

If the National Defense Authorization Act only serves to ratify the prerogatives already possessed by the executive, the problem only concerns the modalities of implementation. The President must not be limited in the fight against terrorism. For Obama, the disputed articles are unconstitutional, not because they concentrate power in his hands, but because they limit his field of action. The contested clauses institute military detention, which limits the required action “flexibility” on the part of the administration – for example, the possibility of detaining foreign prisoners in CIA camps. The articles in question would “contravene the principle of the separation of powers.”

A reversal of the principle of separation of powers

Obama has reversed the method of organisation which was handed down by the Age of Enlightenment. For Montesquieu [5], the objective was to prevent the concentration of political power in a single authority. In order to do this, the powers balance and limit each other. Obama, on the contrary, has opened a breach in the exercise of state power in such a way that the legal authorities can no longer exercise control over the power of the executive. The separation of powers has been abandoned in favour of an absence of limits for Presidential action. This form of organisation is valid for a nation in a state of open war, whose existence is threatened by an external power. The Bush or Obama administrations consider that the authorisation granted by Congress in 2001 for the use of force against the authors of the 9/11 attacks is the equivalent of a declaration of war, like those which were voted during the Second World War. The field of application is however much wider, since the authorisation of 2001 permits the use of force not only against other nations, but also against organisations or even simple individuals.

The National Defense Authorization Act operates a mutation of the legal notion of hostility. Its declared aim is conflict against non-specified adversaries who do not threaten the integrity of the national territory. The struggle against terrorism provides a constantly renewed image of the enemy. It declares a permanent state of war, unbounded by frontiers, which blurs the distinction between interior and exterior, since it does not distinguish between US citizens and soldiers of a foreign power. The political and legal structure, built from this new and asymmetric war, reverses the form of the rule of law. The law is no longer a reduction of the exception, but its continual extension.

Obama Admin. Altered Benghazi Intel Report

Obama Admin. Altered Benghazi Intel Report
Monday, November 19, 2012 7:32

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said Sunday that Obama administration political appointees removed references to al Qaeda-linked groups from intelligence agencies’ accounts of the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Rep. Michael Rogers, Michigan Republican, said the White House’s National Security Council Deputies Committee had altered an unclassified summary of what U.S. intelligence knew about the attack, which U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice relied on during her now-infamous round of TV interviews on Sept. 16.

“There was not an intelligence failure. The intelligence community had it right, and they had it right early,” Mr. Rogers said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The Gestapo Comes To America

THE GESTAPO COMES TO AMERICA
By Betty Freauf November 17, 2012 NewsWithViews.com
A friend recently sent me a UTube showing how the Internal Revenue Service raided a company in Arkansas called Mountain Pure Water Company. The employees were thrown up against the wall while the estimated 40 agents with guns went through everything in the office and the plant leaving with 80+ boxes of information. It’s been eight months since the raid and about 85% of their inventory and paper work has not been returned. The company owner, John Stacks, was not on the property at the time but returned while the raid was in process. With him was his son, an attorney who requested that he be allowed to enter the facility but der heimatland polizei denied the request.
The owner and his attorney son were told the agents were from the Federal government and can do whatever, to whomever and whenever they want. Outside the community these injustices are rarely reported. However, SIXTY MINUTES did report on the Gibson Guitar raid that so far has cost Gibson about $5 million in losses. Gibson in Nashville was raided in November 2009, when agents seized a shipment of ebony from Madagascar. They were enforcing the Lacey Act, a century-old endangered species law that was amended in 2008 to include plants as well as animals. Gibson was implicated in wrongdoing but hasn’t been charged with anything. The U.S. Justice Department won’t comment about the case it’s preparing, but a court motion filed in June asserts Gibson’s Madagascar ebony was “contraband.” And then there was the Duncan Outdoors in Arkansas treated in a similar manner and went so far as to confiscate funds from their bank accounts. And how many more of these raids hasn’t the mainline media not reported?
As I was watching the story about the Gibson Guitar raid, my mind raced to 2009 and the auto industry bailout. Chrysler Corporation was having dealerships closed which ran parallel with Obama’s boondoggle called “Cash for Clunkers.” As explained in more detail below, it was later revealed these dealerships being closed were contributors to Republican causes. Is President Obama now using the old Chicago-style tactics on other industries as well? One caller to a talk show said he’d been UAW all his adult life and he was going to vote Republican for the first time and he said there was scuttlebutt around the plant that suggested many other UAW workers were also going to vote for Romney. So what happened? All the free phones Obama gave out to the young people might have had something to do with it. Later in another UTube we can hear one young man praising Obama for that effort while other young people were heard chanting: Karl Marx, Karl Marx, Karl Marx. The 1919 Communist slogan was “Give us one generation of small children to train to manhood and womanhood and we will set up the Bolshevist form of the Soviet government.”
A PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER UNDERSTANDS FINANCIAL CRISIS
As you’ll recall, Chrysler, like GM was in dire financial straits primarily due to promised unsustainable pensions and other perks in the private sector similar to the same problems all governmental entities are experiencing today. Occasionally there is a lonely voice in the wilderness calling out the warning and common sense does prevail. Recently in our local fish wrapper, a letter to the editor was from a Salem-Keizer (Oregon) that said promises must be broken to fix PERS system. She commented when “cuts and restraints” are mentioned in our meetings, never are these phrases followed by the words, “because of the PERS shortfall.”(It’s not a shortfall, it’s bankrupt) Because so many benefit by the generous PERS allotments and many state workers are married to state workers, there develops an economically incestuous viewpoint that the state has endless dollars to distribute in pension funds. This failure to act could be seen as a form of corruption in itself. She ended by saying we are living in perilous economic times. Promises must be broken and sacrifices must be made to ensure that future generations do not pay the price. Now, there is a teacher that gets it! But I have yet to see one letter of support and will she be punished in some way for speaking out?
FREE TRADE NEW WORLD ORDER STYLE
The federal government unconstitutionally offered to buy Chrysler to keep them from bankruptcy and “save (union) jobs.” Chrysler was, in the words of Obama and his administration, “Too big to fail” and the same story with GM. A ten minute video that was being passed around the Internet a few months ago showed GM’s CEO Dan Akerson addressing reporters in Shanghi China in February 2011. He was remarkably candid about the path GM had chosen after the taxpayers rescued GM saying that “seven out of 10 automobiles were made outside the U.S.” and instead manufactured in the People’s Republic of China. Something that perhaps was never emphasized in our public education civics lesson was a fundamental tenet of that system of government known as Fascism calls for private economic enterprise under control by a centralized government . Many American corporate CEOs and small entrepreneurs not only accept Washington’s help but are eager for more.
THE PRESIDENCY FIT FOR A KING
Presidents have learned by example that if Congress won’t do as they’re told, they simply make it work through Presidential Directives, Executive Orders and the gargantuan administrative state agencies neglecting the separation of powers. “Czar” is a popular term for an individual who will act like a top-level deputy administrator for the president in governmental departments but who doesn’t have to go through the Constitutional requirements for filling that role nor being vetted nor approved by the Senate nor prosecuted for malfeasance. In other words, no accountability.
So the feds organized their “Automotive Task Force” to fix Chrysler and GM. Obama, in an act that is 100% unconstitutional, appointed a guy named Steve Rattner to be the White House’s unelected official Car Czar and was the liaison between Obama, Chrysler and GM. President Obama eventually ended up with 32 appointed (not elected) “czars” who answered only to him. The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, Fox News and a host of other news agencies discovered that the list of dealerships was put together by the “Automotive Task force” headed by none other than Steve Rattner.
Suddenly we saw some dealerships being closed while others remained open and an interesting pattern was later discovered about which ones were shut down. The Washington Examiner and Newsmax exposed the connection. Amazingly, of the 789 dealerships closed by the federal government, 788 had donated money, exclusively to Republican political causes, while contributing nothing to the Democratic political causes. Steve Rattner made up the lists and he just happens to be married to a Maureen White, a former national finance chairman of the Democrat National Committee. As such, she had access to campaign donation records from everyone in the nation, Republican or Democrat.
Enter Snopes from stage left who debunked the story saying Republican donors being disproportionately targeted for closure at the behest of the Obama Administration was not true. I’m always fascinated by people who take Snopes and Factcheck at their word. It’s called controlled opposition and both are heavily financed by left-wing fat cats. So you be the judge…
USE GOVERNMENT TO GET RID OF COMPETITION
It certainly sounded legitimate to me. Maybe the Democrats have learned an old Republican John D. Rockefeller trick – get rid of the competition and you’ll make lots more money with your monopoly. It all began with the enactment of the National Bank Act of 1863 which allowed it to compete with the private sector. Creating the Federal Reserve in 1913 and the Internal Revenue Service were the biggest theft in U.S. history which has brought us in exactly one century to the financial crisis we are in today! Then the Wagner Act of 1935 granted monopoly power to unions to bargain for certain employees and call strikes, thereby enabling them to charge monopoly rates for their labor. Then there is education’s monopoly and now the Obamacare.
Now these current raids took place before President Obama signed on New Year’s Eve 2011 the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that gave himself absolute power to indefinitely detain American citizens suspected (by him) of being “belligerents.” If he was raiding businesses before the NDAA, how much worse is it going to be these next four years.? The Writ of Habeas Corpus forbids our military to be used against U.S. citizens; however, it is voided in the NDAA.
Three months later on March 2012, President Obama signed Executive Order entitled “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” which allows the government to seize control of national resources such as food supply and production, energy, water resources and transportation claiming “The U.S. must have an industrial and technological base capable of meeting national defense requirements and capable of contributing to the technological superiority of its national defense equipment in peacetime and time of national emergency…” The group of FEMA certifiable nincompoops can’t even get gas and food to people on the East Coast weeks after Hurricane Sandy. No – it’s all about control.
THE USE OF INTIMIDATION
Does this suggest the president has the power now to destroy private businesses and eliminate upwards of 100,000 jobs just because some businessman doesn’t agree with his political agenda? This is reminiscent of Nazi Germany. I have on file an e-mail from a lady formerly from Germany who said Hitler didn’t conquer Germany, the German people elected him. I would like to recommend readers send $10 to Last Trumpet Ministries, PO Box 806, Beaver Dam, WI 53916 USA and get now deceased Pastor David J. Meyer’s DVD “Profiles of an Antichrist” produced shortly before the 2008 election and how his warnings came to pass.
The ability to strong arm employers into negotiations is one of the 10 most egregious powers and exploitative privileges that have been granted to labor unions by federal politicians, bureaucrats and judges. The National Labor Relations Act, the Federal Labor Relations Act and the Railway Labor Act make it illegal for employers to resist a labor union’s collective bargaining efforts and make it difficult for employers to counter the aggressive and deceptive campaigns that are often waged by labor union organizers and these are the folks that support President Obama. The Lord does move in mysterious ways and I guess by Obama’s re-election, we may have temporarily avoided much bloodshed.

Did Obama Cheat? How to Answer the Question

Did Obama Cheat? How to Answer the Question

By Paul  Murphy

There  are 15 states with photo ID requirements for voting.  Mr. Obama lost in all  of them.  In places with the weakest controls, specifically counties in  Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, he generally drew turnouts in the 90%  or greater range and won by better than 95% of the vote.

Losers  tend to look for external explanations, and a lot of conservatives looking at  numbers like those from Florida's St. Lucie County (where Mr. Obama got 247,713  votes from only 175,554 registered voters) are starting to question the  legitimacy of the electoral results as reported.  That's not good news for  democracy, because the system works only if we trust it -- and having a majority  in the GOP write off a minority who think the results were rigged serves nobody.   Not even Democrats.

So  what we need is an independent means of testing the electoral  result.

The  traditional way of doing this is, of course, to assume legitimacy, then gather  anecdotal evidence of vote-cheating, promote that to sworn testimony through  court proceedings, and hope for a conclusion from the adversarial process this  generates.  That's how we now know, for example, that Stevens was falsely  prosecuted and Coleman beat Franken.

Great.   Except that both Franken and Begich hold office, both voted for ObamaCare,  and both will get generous federal pensions.  Basically, the traditional  approach may be effective, but it's also politically pointless...and  inappropriate in today's context anyway, given that we need something a whole  lot quicker.  We need something, in fact, that can give us a clear result  in time to decide whether there's a case to be made for asking the college of  electors to overturn the nominal result when they vote on December  17.

One  idea that might work would be to compare the results of an honest poll to the  nominal results obtained in the election and then decide what the odds are that  the differences, if any, reflect electoral fraud.

Given  that there have been hundreds of polls, the most public of which roughly  predicted the reported electoral outcomes, this may seem like a dumb idea.   But it may not be so dumb -- and for two main reasons:

First:  internal GOP polling based on face-to-face voter contact consistently  contradicted the D+7 or more results predicted by the major media polls and  subsequently demonstrated in the nominal electoral outcome.

This  shouldn't happen; theory predicts that internal polls based on face-to-face  interviews should produce better results than panel studies or public media  polls -- and until the 2008 presidential election, they generally  did.

Second:  The major media pollsters face non-response problems that render their results  indefensible in terms of normal statistical practices and standards.  In  consequence, those in charge of analyzing and reporting the data typically use  complicated, but ultimately guesstimated, formulas, giving a kind of scientific  patina to what are ultimately intuitive judgments about sub-sample weights --  and the closer the population proportions they're trying to estimate get to  50:50, the more these judgments affect the outcome, and the more risk the people  involved take when they make those judgments.

As  a result, the closer the contest is in reality, the more pressure these guys are  under to follow the leader -- for competing pollsters to recursively adjust  their weightings to invisibly move their results toward a consensus  position.

Notice  that this isn't conspiracy; it's a natural consequence of the costs and  complexities of public polling in today's business environment.  But it is  an exploitable consequence, because someone who wants to drive the public media  polling consensus toward a predetermined outcome need only lean on one of the  market leaders to cause all of them to drift toward the intended  conclusion.

Gallup  published a poll close to what the GOP internals showed, found the DOJ joining  what should have been a nuisance  lawsuit against them, and adjusted its weightings to bring its results into  line.  We know these events happened; we do not know if they're  related.

A  public, national, face-to-face voter poll, using a simple set of questions and  academically defensible statistical methods, would go a long way in clearing up  the questions here.  If the results strongly support the nominal electoral  outcomes, we can be fairly confident, for example, that the election was broadly  fair, that the GOP internal polls were wrong, and that the major media pollsters  behaved honorably and correctly throughout.

If,  on the other hand, our hypothetical national poll produces results that differ  significantly from the nominal election results, it will largely rehabilitate  the GOP internal results, cast significant doubt on the legitimacy of Mr.  Obama's claimed victory, and probably cause at least one of the major media  pollsters to rethink its methods.

Notice,  however, that this type of audit survey is a first cut at the problem -- more to  see whether there is a real problem than to address it.  Ultimately, only  the more traditional methods will let us deal with issues like those raised by  the disenfranchisement of (mostly GOP) service personnel and the enfranchisement  of (mostly Democrat) illegals.

With  that in mind, let's look at the mechanics of actually doing it -- but bear in  mind, please, that there are many different ways of doing this, and what I'm  suggesting here is intended to be illustrative, not  prescriptive.

First  we need to establish the universe: the target group whose population proportions  we want to estimate.  Since we're interested only in people whose votes  were counted and we often don't know who they are, we'll start with the list of  all registered voters -- a list we make by combining lists from all  jurisdictions and not eliminating duplicates.

Next  we need to establish the question.  Since we want to know what percentage  of registered voters voted for each presidential slate, the two core questions  are:

1.  Did you vote?

2.  For which presidential slate?

If  the nominal election results are broadly correct:

  1. all  of our respondents should be reachable at the addresses listed for  them,
  2. about  58% of our sample should report having voted;
  3. about  30% of our sample should claim to have voted for Mr. Obama,  and
  4. about  28% of our sample should claim to have voted for Mr. Romney.

Any  significant differences from that distribution will indicate fraud.  Normal  statistical methods can then be used to quantify both the likelihood and the  significance of the fraud.

Next  we need a sampling methodology -- in this case, we'll number our combined lists  from one to whatever and use the computer's pseudo-random number capability to  pick our interviewees.

The  big issue is sample size.  The determinants for this are:

  1. Population  or universe size: with well over 100 million voters, the statistical rules for  infinite populations sampled without replacement  apply.
  2. How  confident do we want to be that the population proportion estimates we produce  are in the same ballpark as the answer we would get if we talked to everybody  and tabulated those results?
    The traditional confidence level targeted by  pollsters is 95% -- meaning that if you did the sampling 20 times, you'd expect  the people drawn to correctly reflect population means 19  times.
  3. How  close do we need to get to the real proportion?  I.e., how big a ballpark  can we live with?

The  traditional polling answer is plus or minus 5% -- largely, incidentally, because  pre-computer-age pollsters rejoiced in the happy coincidence that this precision  combined with a 95% confidence level let clients jump to the conclusion that  their ability to add the two numbers to get 100% meant they understood something  and produced an easily memorable, easily squared z-statistic that just happened  to work out to an even number.

In  our case, the basic 95% confidence that our estimate is within 5% of the real  number, given no more than 3% non-response, requires a sample of about 400;  raising that to gain 99% confidence that our estimate is correct to within 3%  requires a sample of about 1,900; and going for 99% confidence that our  estimates are within 1% of reality would require a sample size of about  17,000.

So  what we'll do is draw 17,000 names, draw 1,900 names from that list, and finally  produce an initial sub-sampling of 400.  We'll then interview those first  400, decide whether it's worth continuing, and, if so, continue to at least  1,840 successful interviews from the list of 1,900 names.  Finally, we will  re-evaluate again before either stopping or proceeding to the full  17,000.

Our  next decisions involve interview methods.  Since we cannot tolerate much  non-response and do not want the interviewer to bias the result, we're going  to:

  1. cold  call on the doorstep,
  2. dispatch  two interviewers on each call, and
  3. ask  only two questions:
  • did  you vote? and
  • if  so, for which presidential slate?

Teams  will not ask the respondent to say which slate was preferred but will, instead,  hand the respondent two cards or other tokens with instructions to keep one  while placing the other in a box or other container proffered by the  interviewer.

This  process will be extremely expensive -- far more so than the telephone interviews  conducted by the major media pollsters.  As a very rough first guesstimate:  getting the infrastructure in place quickly enough for the result to be  meaningful and then carrying out the first 400 interviews will run upwards of  $400,000, with total costs rising to the $2 million range if it is necessary to  interview the full 17,000 sample.

What  we're really proposing here is a first audit of the election result, and  regardless of outcome, its primary value is in reducing  uncertainty.

Right  now, saying Obama cheated is about as credible as saying he didn't, so a  positive result will go a long way to debunking various destructive conspiracy  theories and thus contribute to the smooth functioning of American democracy.   Conversely, a negative result will form a strong basis for multiple legal  and political actions aimed at delegitimizing an illegitimate  president.

Bottom  line?  Knowing is better than not knowing.  So who's got three million  bucks?

URGENT ALERT: ObamaCare Deadline Nov 16th, Secrets They Don't Want You To Know. Video

URGENT ALERT: ObamaCare Deadline Nov 16th, Secrets They Don’t Want You To Know. Video
Thursday, November 15, 2012 7:53
 
 

President Obama’s re-election solidified the future of national health care, and now it’s up to the states to carry it out.

They have to work quickly.

We are down to the wire and have no time to waste. Barack Obama has set an arbitrary deadline of November 16 – this FRIDAY - for states to make a decision and inform the administration about whether they plan to create ObamaCare insurance exchanges and opt in to ObamaCare’s Medicaid expansion.

Don’t the States Have to Implement ObamaCare?

The answer to that question is a resounding “NO!”

That’s the dirty little secret about ObamaCare that the administration and liberal pundits in the mainstream media don’t want you to know. The states are under no obligation whatsoever to create ObamaCare exchanges or to expand their Medicaid rolls to unsustainable levels.

In fact, more than a dozen states (Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, and Virginia) already have made it illegal for state employees to implement ObamaCare’s individual or employer mandates.

And because Congress has refused to fund federal insurance exchanges that would take the place of state-created exchanges should states opt-out, if enough states just say “NO,” ObamaCare cannot be fully implemented.

Even though House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) has acknowledged that Obamacare is the “law of the land,” nine state lawmakers in Wisconsin are hoping to ensure that President Obama’s health reform law won’t ever be implemented in their state. The group of Tea Party-affiliated Republicans is backing a bill that would arrest any federal officials who attempt to implement Obamacare in Wisconsin.

The state officials responded to a survey from the right-wing advocacy group Campaign for Liberty to confirm they would support “legislation to nullify ObamaCare and authorize state and local law enforcement to arrest federal officials attempting to implement the unconstitutional health care scheme known as ObamaCare.” As the Journal Sentinel reports, the nine lawmakers who say they would back such a bill remain unconvinced of the health law’s constitutionality:

Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield) is one of the nine from Wisconsin who told the Campaign for Liberty he would back legislation to declare Obamacare illegal and allow police to arrest federal officials who take steps to implement it in Wisconsin. He said he believes the health care law is unconstitutional, despite the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that it passes constitutional muster.

“Just because Obama was re-elected does not mean he’s above the constitution,” Kapenga said.

 

Another one of the state lawmakers who responded to Campaign for Liberty’s survey, Rep. Don Pridemore (R-Hartford), said he would also support legislation preventing his governor from setting up a health exchange in the state without first getting approval from the state legislature — similar to a ballot initiative that passed last week in Missouri. “That seems reasonable,” Pridemore told the Journal Sentinel. “It was making a statement to the federal government that we don’t want Obamacare.”

Nine Republican assemblymen made the news Tuesday with some peculiar requests. Chief among them: a desire to arrest federal officials who attempt to implement Obamacare.

I have talked at length in the past about the benefits of moving the nation away from universal coverage based on emergency care and toward coverage with a greater focus on primary care.

As of July 30, 2012, fifteen states and the District of Columbia (WA, OR, CA, NV, UT, CO, KY, WV, NY, NH, MA, RI, CT, VT, MD) established a state-based exchange. Arizona, Illinois, and Delaware are planning to develop and exchange and sixteen states were “studying their options” (MT, ID, AZ, NM, NE, MN, IA, MI, IN, MS, AL, TN, NC, VA, PA, NJ). Louisiana and Maine made it clear they will not pursue a state-based exchange.

Arkansas, Delaware and Illinois are planning to pursue a hybrid federal-state partnership exchange, whereby the state operates plan management functions, consumer assistance functions, or both, but leaves the federal government to assume responsibility for the other portions of the exchange.

Please call or email your Senators in Arkansas contact Senator Jonathan Dismang, phone number 501-766-8220, email dismang49@hotmail.com and Representative John Burris, phone Number 870-688-6181, email burrisforstaterep@gmail.com. If you have any questions, please call the Arkansas Insurance Department at 371-2600.

Mandatory RFID Implants by March 2013

Most people who are even semi-informed are aware that implantable RFID chips have been in the works for quite awhile.

Implantable RFIDWhat you may not be aware of is that this isn’t something that’s years in the future.  It’s right around the corner.

As mandated by Obamacare, all Americans must receive an implanted RFID device within 36 months of when the bill was passed.

That would be March 2013.

Yes, I know the bill is a long read, but this information is in Sec. 2561 of  H.R. 3200 entitled “National Medical Device Registry”, if you care to check it out for yourself.

If not, just watch the short video below.

These RFID chips will enable the government to know everything about you (personal, medical, financial info) and track everything you do & everywhere you go…..

Of course, they want you to believe being chipped is for your benefit.

 

Contact your senators today. This has been kept quiet by mainstream media to date. The Government has created distractions all year to keep the peoples eyes off this issue that will directly affect every American.

Things like Benghazi attack, Benghazi video reports, The petraeus scan, elections fraud, The states trying to secede…..

They have a plan folks, right now your senators need to hear from you before tomorrow, Friday Nov 16th 2012.

Please share this information with your family, friends and leaders in your community. CALL or EMAIL YOUR SENATORS TODAY!

Go to congress’ FB pages, email & call to insist they stop this! 1-800-833-6354.

The Worst Economic Numbers In More Than A Year

The Worst Economic Numbers In More Than A Year

November 15, 2012

Source: Michael Snyder, Guest Post

With everything else that is going on in the world, a lot of people have failed to notice that we are seeing some of the worst economic numbers that we have seen in more than a year.  For example, it was announced on Thursday that initial claims for unemployment benefits have hit their highest level in a year and a half.  Hopefully this is just a temporary blip in the data, because initial unemployment claims tend to have a very strong correlation with the overall performance of the economy.  We also continue to see poverty statistics rise.  According to government statistics released earlier this month, the number of Americans living in poverty and the number of Americans on food stamps are both at all-time record highs.  Meanwhile, the Dow and the S&P 500 are both down more than 5 percent since the election and the U.S. government rolled up 22 billion dollars more debt in October 2012 than it did in October 2011.  The unfortunate truth is that things are not getting better.  The U.S. economy continues to become weaker and more unstable, and there are a whole lot of reasons to be very pessimistic about our economic situation as we move into the winter months.

Let's take a closer look at some of the troubling economic numbers that have been released in recent days...

Initial Claims For Unemployment Benefits

The optimism that many analysts had about jobs is rapidly dissipating.  Over the past few weeks there has been a huge wave of companies announcing layoffs.  Just check out this article and this article.

But now we are actually seeing a significant rise in the number of American workers applying for unemployment benefits.  Initial claims for unemployment benefits soared to 439,000 for the week ending November 10th.  This is the highest level that we have seen in more than a year.  The last time initial claims were this high was April 2011.  It is interesting to note that the largest numbers of new unemployment claims came from the swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Record Food Stamp Numbers

In dozens of articles I have carefully documented the steady rise of poverty in America and the steady decline of the middle class.

Even though our politicians insist that we are in the middle of an "economic recovery", the number of Americans dependent on the government for their very survival just continues to keep going up.

A few days ago, the latest food stamp numbers were released.  It turns out that the number of Americans on food stamps increased by 420,947 from July to August.  That was the largest one month increase that we have seen in a year.  At this point, an all-time record 47.1 million Americans are enrolled in the food stamp program.  What would that look like if all of those people had to actually stand outside in bread lines like in the old days?

Stunning Stock Market Declines

A few days ago, I wrote about how many wealthy Americans are dumping stocks and other financial assets in anticipation of the looming "fiscal cliff".

Well, if things get much worse we may soon have a "market crash" on our hands.

The Dow and the S&P 500 are both down by more than 5 percent since the election and many are wondering if things are about to get a whole lot worse.

Shares of Apple are down by 25 percent since late September.  Some analysts are actually using the term "panic selling" to describe what is happening to the stock.

Slowing Economic Activity

All over America there are indications that economic activity is starting to slow down.  Is Superstorm Sandy responsible for this, or are there other factors at work?

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, economic activity appears to be contracting in areas that were hit particularly hard by Superstorm Sandy...

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s general economic index was minus 5.2 this month after minus 6.2 in October. Readings of less than zero signal contraction in New York, northern New Jersey and southern Connecticut.

Things appear to be slowing down in the mid-Atlantic region as well.  According to CNBC, manufacturing activity in the mid-Atlantic region has contracted much faster than analysts were projecting...

The Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank said its business activity index slumped to -10.7 from 5.7 the month before. The fall was much steeper than economists' expectations for slippage to a reading of 2.0, according to a Reuters poll.

Any reading above zero indicates expansion in the region's manufacturing. The survey covers factories in eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and Delaware.

New Poverty Numbers

More American families are falling out of the middle class every single day.

New numbers that were just released by the U.S. Census Bureau show that the number of Americans living in poverty rose to a new all-time record of 49.7 million last year.

Once upon a time, people would have laughed at you if you suggested that someday 50 million Americans would be living in poverty.

But here we are.

Soaring Government Debt

Anyone that follows my columns on a regular basis knows that government debt is one of my major pet peeves.

Well, despite all of the "budget deals" that have been made between the Republicans and the Democrats, the amount of debt that we are accumulating just continues to balloon in size.

The federal budget deficit for October 2012 was 120 billion dollars.  That was a huge increase over the October 2011 federal budget deficit of 98 billion dollars.

How long can we possibly continue to do this?

Things In Europe Are Getting Worse Too

In case you had not noticed, the economic situation in Europe continues to unravel as well.  The eurozone is officially in a recession once again, and unemployment in the eurozone is at an all-time record high.  Violent protests and rioting happen on an almost daily basis over in Europe now.  The largest economy on the planet continues to implode right in front of our eyes, and this is another factor that will continue to drag down the U.S. economy.

So is there anyone out there that actually still believes that things are "getting better"?

The brief period of economic stability that we have been experiencing is rapidly coming to an end.  The "recovery" turned out to be extremely disappointing, and now the next major downturn is almost here.

3 Windows into Obama's Dangerous Second Term

3 Windows into Obama’s Dangerous Second Term

The nightmare has already begun.

by Tom Blumer

Bio

November 13, 2012 - 11:05 pm

Several post-election developments have already served advance warning on America, or at least the portion paying attention between so-called reality TV shows, that President Obama’s second term will be every bit as dangerous and ultimately disastrous as those of us deeply concerned about the consequences of his reelection warned it will be. I will look at just three of them. There are many others.

Dependency. Blogger Matt Trivisonno first noticed a delay in the release of the USDA’s monthly food stamp enrollment report, which usually occurs near the end of each month, in early October. When it was data-dumped late in the afternoon on Friday, October 5, two days after the first presidential debate (imagine that), it showed that July enrollment had edged up to a then-all-time record.

What should have come out in late October didn’t arrive until November 9, yet another Friday afternoon, three convenient days after the election. It’s now clear that Team Obama deliberately sat on it, as its contents would certainly have become a final-days election issue had they been known. August enrollment exploded by over 400,000 to a record-shattering 47.1 million.

Revised data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that the economy added 192,000 jobs during that same month. Though that level of monthly job growth, symptomatic of the worst economic recovery since World War II, is still unacceptable, the food stamp rolls should be declining, and they’re not. That’s because the program has morphed from being about temporarily helping the truly needy into a dependency-engendering, vote-buying enterprise.

It should be clear to anyone with their eyes open that even if the economy improves, something Obama seems bound and determined to prevent in action while feigning fealty to that goal in words, we’re doomed to four more years of an unrelenting effort to add objectively not needy recipients to the food stamp and other dependency rolls. Gutting welfare reform, which HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has already seriously compromised with loosened work requirements presented last summer, is a key objective.

Energy. In news naturally ignored by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, the New York Times, and virtually everyone else in the establishment media, The Hill reported late last week that the Interior Department “issued a final plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West (i.e., 2,500 square miles) originally slated for oil shale development.”

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the Environmental Protection Agency plan to spend the next four years using largely phony environmental concerns to prevent the country from seeing affordable energy costs and from achieving long-term net energy independence. The U.S. could accomplish the latter within a decade if the government would, with appropriate oversight, let the oil and gas industry do in the West what it has successfully been doing in North Dakota and Pennsylvania. Indeed, $3 per gallon gas will likely become the economy-inhibiting floor, while any number of geopolitical or weather-related shocks could again send energy prices skyrocketing.

Regulation and cronyism. On October 23, John Hayward at Human Events identified what we would face if Obama won reelection:

Sprinkled through his speeches and debate performances are little hints that he (Obama) plans to double down on everything the American public hates. Solyndra? More to come. Regulation? You ain’t seen nothing yet. Taxes? Not nearly high enough. ObamaCare? Not nearly complicated enough. Medicare? Ignore your lying calculators, it’s just fine the way it is.

Even though many of its regulations don’t go live until 2014, ObamaCare is already holding back the job market. As the Wall Street Journal reported on November 4 (“Health-Care Law Spurs a Shift to Part-Time Workers”):

Several restaurants, hotels and retailers have started or are preparing to limit schedules of hourly workers to below 30 hours a week. That is the threshold at which large employers in 2014 would have to offer workers a minimum level of insurance or pay a penalty starting at $2,000 for each worker.

The reason companies are making these moves now is that the penalty thresholds in 2014 will be driven by reported employment during 2013. The bifurcation of the workforce between those desperately hanging on to full-time jobs and those who can only find part-time or temporary employment (if they’re even that lucky), already well under way during Obama’s first term, is destined to accelerate during his second.

Thus, Obama, no longer needing voter approval, supported by legions of federal apparatchiks, and clearly unconcerned about annoyances like the Constitution’s supposed limits on executive power and authority, now has a four-year open field.

As the ugliness continues to unfold, I certainly hope that the millions of conservatives who chose to stay home, thereby guaranteeing Mitt Romney’s defeat in four states where their presence in numbers comparable to 2004 and 2008 would have given him an electoral vote majority, seriously question their decisions. Jim Geraghty at National Review noted that even in the face of dozens of external and self-inflicted factors leading to his underperformance, Romney could have won the election if a combined 407,000 sideline-sitters would have shown up in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and Colorado. New Hampshire, Iowa, and Nevada should also have been within reach.

By sitting out what may come to be seen as the most consequential presidential election in almost 150 years — this time potentially fracturing the union beyond repair instead of saving it, as Lincoln’s 1864 reelection did — they have for now forfeited any right to have their complaints taken seriously. If they continue to refuse to engage, it will only get worse.

Obama Demands $1.6 TRILLION More In Taxes

Obama Demands $1.6 TRILLION More In Taxes

Posted by Adam English - Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

President Obama will begin budget negotiations on Friday morning but moving twice as far away from Republican interests. Instead of the $800 billion in extra federal revenue from tax hikes, Obama will be calling for a whopping $1.6 trillion.

On the other side of the table, House Speaker John Boehner hasn't specified a revenue target, but he has said he would be willing to accept new tax revenues. He is still unwilling to consider higher tax rates.

As a condition for the possible concession, Boehner continues to insist that Democrats accept structural changes to entitlement programs which are causing long-term budget concerns.

President Obama just attended a meeting with union officials and other activists and will be meeting with CEOs of a dozen companies today. Many executives have already voiced grave concerns about the  consequences of the looming standoff over the fiscal cliff.

73% of participants of a Wall Street Journal CEO conference earlier this week said their primary concern was the fiscal cliff.

One conference participant, David Crane, CEO of NRG Energy Inc., said, "I think everyone just has this fear that they just do as they've done the last four years and just lob grenades at each other."

In the recent election, Democrats picked up two additional Senate seats and six additional House seats. Coupled with the reelection of President Obama, the entrenchment of Democrats in the legislature has emboldened their demands.

For example, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid showed little interest in concessions and affirmed President Obama's demand that the House pass a Senate-approved bill extending current tax rates for middle-income taxpayers, but not for the wealthiest 2% of taxpayers.

Unfortunately, President Obama and Democratic leaders have not clarified how they would potentially raise the $1.6 trillion in revenue.

While letting the Bush-era tax rates expire would raise up to $823 billion according to the Congressional Budget Office, the other $800 billion would inevitably have to come from popular programs such as Medicare, Social Security or defense spending.

There is little time left to find a compromise; a mere 14 days are left with Congress in session.

Hopefully, President Obama and his peers will move towards a compromise and abandon their efforts to double the distance between themselves and Republicans as negotiations proceed.

Barack Hussein Obama Signs ANOTHER "Martial Law" Order — Select HERE to DEMAND Congress STOP Obama's

Obama’s NEW “Dictatorship” Executive Order

by Right March on November 14, 2012 ·    Print This Post Print This Post

Barack Hussein Obama Signs ANOTHER “Martial Law” Order — Select HERE to DEMAND Congress STOP Obama’s “Emergency Powers” Executive Orders!

ALERT: Get ready to be BLOWN AWAY by the latest OUTRAGEOUS news: While the whole country was distracted with a Killer Storm and a Killer Presidential Election, Barack Hussein Obama was continuing with his plans to initiate MARTIAL LAW!

The latest headlines are almost unbelievable:

“Just before Hurricane Sandy, Obama signed executive order merging Homeland Security with private sector to create VIRTUAL DICTATORSHIP”

The news article only gets worse: “While all eyes were on Hurricane Sandy in the days leading up to the storm’s breach on the mainland of the Northeast, the White House was busy devising new ways to enslave Americans under the guise of protecting national security. On October 26, 2012, Barack Obama quietly signed an Executive Order (EO) establishing the so-called Homeland Security Partnership Council, a public-private partnership that basically merges the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with local governments and the private sector for the implied purpose of giving the Executive Branch complete and limitless control over the American people.”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE’VE BEEN WARNING YOU THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS BEEN PLANNING FOR!

It’s more and more obvious that Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL LAW — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

This new Executive Order goes further than any other in conflating federal power structures with local governments and the private sector. Based on the unbelievable language contained in the EO itself, the federal government “appears ready to begin rapidly expanding its command and control operations at the local level,” according to a story in Natural News, by establishing a vast network of homeland security “partnerships” throughout the country, which will be tasked with reporting back to the central command center and feeding “intelligence” information as requested by federal officials.

“[W]e must tap the ingenuity outside government through strategic partnerships with the private sector, nongovernmental organizations, foundations, and community-based organizations,” says the EO. It goes on to add that the merger between the federal government and the private sector is necessary to facilitate the government’s desire to better “address homeland security priorities,” which includes things like “responding to natural disasters … (and) preventing terrorism by utilizing diverse perspectives, skills, tools, and resources.”

An official “Steering Committee” will be established with representatives from virtually every single federal agency, and this committee will be guided by a separate council on how to best incorporate the federal government and DHS into every nook and cranny of American society. Once established, this council will maintain control over presumably all aspects of society by overseeing a secret police force comprised of spies from schools, community groups, churches, and various other local institutions.

“[W]e must institutionalize an all-of-Nation effort to address the evolving threats to the United States,” adds the Executive Order, which has YET to be covered AT ALL in the mainstream media.

But why would we be surprised at that? The media STILL hasn’t covered one of the biggest bombshells in recent weeks:

One of the leading global magazines of politics, economics, and ideas, Foreign Policy Magazine, posted a bombshell on their website recently:

“Gen. Boykin: U.S. economy close to collapse, could result in martial law”You read that right: retired Lt. General William Boykin, a former CIA Deputy Director of Special Activities, has said that the U.S. economy “is just about the break” and collapse. And when the dam gives way, severe food shortages and pervasive violence throughout America will result in an executive declaration of martial law.

 

Those “in the know” are trying to WARN us: Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL LAW — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

This former CIA General’s warning is HUGE!!! “I’ll be very honest with you; the situation in America could be such that martial law is actually warranted, and that situation in my view could occur if we had an economic collapse,” says Gen. Boykin:

“The dam is just about to break on our economy, and I think when it does, there’s going to be a major disruption of the distribution of food,” he added. “And I think what you’ll see particularly in the inner cities is you will see riots, civil unrest that ultimately might justify MARTIAL LAW… I think those people that are not in the major cities are going to be far better off, but it could actually justify martial law,” Boykin continued. “And I’m praying that we will not see that kind of collapse, we won’t see a disruption of the distribution of food in America. That’s probably the single biggest problem.”

BUT OBAMA’S MINIONS MIGHT NOT WAIT UNTIL THEN! Reports are erupting all over the Internet, of threats of RIOTS if Barack Hussein Obama loses the presidential election on November 6th — which would be the perfect excuse for Obama to finally implement MARTIAL LAW. A list of examples are listed at the “Twitter-watcher” website Twitchy. As blogger Michael Snyder notes:

“The election is nearly four weeks away, and many Obama supporters are already threatening to riot if Obama loses. The following are some very disturbing messages that were posted on Twitter recently that have been reposted on Twitchy….”

“If Romney wins I’m Starting a Riot….Who’s WIT ME???”

“I Hope The USA Is Well Aware That If In The Event This Character Romney Wins The Election, The People Will Start A Country Wide Riot! #Power”

“If Romney is elected president, its gon be a riot its gon be a riot.”

“If ROMNEY GETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE …U MIGHT AS WELL KILL ME NOW …..CAUSE ITS GONNA BE A ************ RIOT !!!”

“If Romney became President and took away welfare Downtown Cincinnati would become a riot

“If Romney takes away food stamps 2 Chainzz in this bit IMMA START A RIOT

“If Romney wins. (which i highly doubt) THERE WILL BE A RIOT-”

RIOTS ARE A GREAT EXCUSE FOR OBAMA TO FINALLY IMPLEMENT HIS “EMERGENCY POWERS” EXECUTIVE ORDERS FOR MARTIAL LAW… WHICH HE’S OBVIOUSLY ALREADY PLANNING FOR — UNLESS WE STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

And it IS obvious what Obama is planning for! Not only has ordered for his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 1.2 billion rounds of ammo and armored checkpoint booths… now reports are coming in that DHS has now been given fully-armored APCs — the same standard used by our military:

“To the list of recent unsettling developments at DHS and other federal agencies — such as… massive DHS ammo buys, a creepy new biometric surveillance system just being rolled-out by the FBI, and drones buzzing our backyards with cameras — we can now add the appearance across the country of not just heavily-armored military grade Humvees, but ‘GLS’ armored personnel carriers (APC’s) — 2500 of them to be exact. According to reports the Department of Homeland Security… already have thousands of heavily armored vehicles in DHS ‘Police/Rescue’ livery, resplendent in either a dashing Gulf War tan or menacing stealth-anthracite…”

Once again, it’s obvious that Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL LAW — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

This latest news of preparations for a police state came after we had already learned that Barack Hussein Obama is planning to sign ANOTHER “martial law” style Executive Order — this time to enable him to take over America’s “critical infrastructure,” such as the POWER GRID and FINANCIAL INDUSTRIES!

Federal News Radio is reporting that the Obama regime is preparing to sign off on this new Executive Order, since patriots like YOU AND I have been able to STOP Obama’s so-called “cybersecurity” bill so far:

“The White House so far has failed to get a bill passed by both houses of Congress to improve the cybersecurity of the nation’s critical infrastructure, so it wants to take an alternative approach. The administration has created a draft executive order detailing how, within its authority, it would improve the information assurance of the nation’s critical infrastructure, such as the power grid and financial industries… The draft EO, which Federal News Radio viewed a draft copy of, closely follows the second version of comprehensive cyber legislation introduced by Sens. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R- Maine) in July.”

DID YOU GET THAT? These people failed to get their Martial Law bills passed in Congress, so Obama is ready to BYPASS our elected officials and do it himself — AGAIN!

This LATEST outrageous action by Barack Obama comes not long after he announced his plans to sign yet ANOTHER Executive Order, which will enable him to take over the INTERNET!

As WorldNet Daily reported,

Obama has signaled his intention to push through his Internet agenda via executive order. This, after last week’s failed attempt to bring the Democrat-supported Cybersecurity Act of 2012 to a full vote in the U.S. Senate. The bill would have given federal regulatory agencies the ability to mandate cybersecurity recommendations on critical infrastructure power and utility companies.

As reported in The Hill, responding to a question about whether President Obama was considering advancing his party’s cyber-plan through an executive order, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney didn’t rule out the possibility. “In the wake of congressional inaction and Republican stall tactics, unfortunately, we will continue to be hamstrung by outdated and inadequate statutory authorities that the legislation would have fixed,” Carney said. And John Brennan, Obama’s counterterrorism adviser, said at an event at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington, “If the Congress is not going to act on something like this, then the president wants to make sure that we’re doing everything possible.”

DO YOU GET THAT? OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS WANT FULL CONTROL OF THE INTERNET… AND OBAMA IS ONCE AGAIN WILLING TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO TAKE POWER!

He just doesn’t seem to stop! THAT new threat came hot on the heels of another Executive Order, signed by Obama on July 6th, which ONCE AGAIN brings America a step closer to finding itself under MARTIAL LAW — this time by giving him dictator-type powers over ALL communications during any so-called “crisis” that he might declare!

As reported by “Tea Party Economist” blogger, Dr. Gary North:

“Obama has signed an executive order outlining the nationalization of the entire communications system. It is written in bureaucratese. I have no doubt that it was not understood by Obama. It is too detailed. It sets up a powerful new bureaucracy. The language is limited to a national emergency. But an emergency on this scale is almost inconceivable. The government never discusses what could justify an executive order this comprehensive.

If such a threat to the nation (and the world) really exists, the voters should be given a detailed description of its nature. Congress should debate this. Solving it should be a high national priority. If the answer is, “discussing this would create panic,” then democracy is a sham. If the answer is, “we don’t know what might happen, so we are asserting total control in advance,” then this executive order should never have been signed. It transfers too much power to bureaucrats to determine when to implement it.

As Dr. North declares, “This is no longer a nation run by the Constitution.”

The executive order itself is long, and very few people will actually bother to read it. But what it does is very clear: it authorizes the White House to take over the entire communications system, simply on “the authority of the President.”

The bottom line is this: Obama thinks that this power belongs to the President.

It’s more and more obvious that Barack Obama is preparing to DECLARE MARTIAL LAW — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

We’ve seen this coming. We even reported on how, just recently, a government “whistleblower” inside the Obama regime blew the lid off of why Barack Hussein Obama has recently signed Executive Orders that give him the power to declare martial law across America!

Obama, through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other agencies and “czars,” is plotting a major “Reichstag” event to generate racial riots and produce the justification for martial law, delaying the November 2012 elections… possibly indefinitely!

A DHS whistleblower informed the Canada Free Press “that the DHS is actively preparing for massive social unrest inside the United States. He then corrected himself, stating that ‘a civil war’ is the more appropriate term. ‘Certain elements of the government are not only expecting and preparing for it, they are actually facilitating it.’”

A “Reichstag event” refers to a fire started in Germany’s legislature during Hitler’s rise to power. The fire allowed him to grab emergency powers and eliminate his opposition. While he blamed it on Communists, historians have long believed that Hitler started the fire himself.

According to the anonymous “whistleblower” inside Obama’s DHS, this “Reichstag event” would take the form of a staged assassination attempt against Barack Obama, “carefully choreographed” and manufactured by Obama operatives. It would subsequently be blamed on “white supremacists” and used to enrage the black community to rioting and looting, the DHS source warned.

The Obama administration would then use the violence and chaos they created as justification for the imposition of martial law in major urban cities in America, the creation of DHS checkpoints, restriction of travel, and the indefinite delay of the November 2012 elections:

“The DHS takes their marching orders from the Obama administration, from Obama himself, but mostly from his un-appointed czars. And Jarrett, especially Valerie Jarrett. Don’t think for a minute that the administration is doing anything to stabilize events in the U.S. They are revolutionaries, and revolutionaries thrive on chaos,” he added.

This is getting TOO BIG to hide — now, even the MEDIA is starting to pick up on the shocking news:

Barack Hussein Obama has signed Executive Orders giving him the power to declare MARTIAL LAW in America!

On a recent episode of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity himself declared:

“Tonight… we shine the spotlight on an executive order that the White House was hoping that you would never learn about. Now, the President signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness [NDRP] executive order late Friday afternoon. And since that time, now the measure has been virtually ignored by the mainstream media. Now, the order essentially gives the president of the United States absolute power over any and all American resources during both times of peace and national crisis. Now, this includes, but it’s not limited to food and livestock, water, plants, energy, health resources, transportation and construction materials and gives the government the ability to, quote, ‘control the general distribution of any material, including applicable services in this civilian market.’”

Hannity then went on to discuss how “this would give the President of the United States the authority to declare basically Martial Law during times of peace. And to be sure, this is simply the latest string of actions taken by the administration that ignore the basic principles of our constitution.”

Barack Obama is OUT OF CONTROL — we MUST STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

Of course, that Executive Order was only the BEGINNING. Obama’s preparations to institute MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA are coming together quickly.

FIRST, he signed an Executive Order, for so-called “National Defense Resources Preparedness” — that would give him DICTATOR POWERS whenever he decides he “needs” them.

THEN, he signed ANOTHER “Executive Order”, this time to take control of America’s domestic natural gas production.

NOW, he’s done it AGAIN — Barack Hussein Obama has signed YET ANOTHER Executive Order… declaring INTERNATIONAL LAW for the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

As reported by blogger Henry Shivley:

“On May 1, 2012, our Glorious Leader, Premier Barack Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA Barry the Rat, signed yet another Executive Order – Promoting International Regulatory Cooperation. This dictate is designed to standardize regulations between the United States and its so-called trading partners.

What is a regulation? A law. So what is actually being attempted here is a standardization of international law. It is an absolute violation of the Constitution for the United States to legislate our law outside of our borders.”

And what exactly can this latest unconstitutional Executive Order lead to? As Shivley states, “Considering the many international security agreements the traitors occupying our highest seats of power have entered into, this latest executive order can absolutely be used to institute gun confiscation laws/regulations, without any consent by our Congress or our Judicial. And once these foreign laws are brought to the United States under the various security agreements, foreign troops will be brought in to enforce the foreign laws upon the people of the United States.”

This new Executive Order came hot on the heels of the recent one that Barack Obama signed to take control of America’s domestic natural gas production. As columnist Mac Slavo reports:

“While Americans focused their attention on the Colombian controversy involving U.S. Secret Service agents, prostitutes and excessive drinking, President Obama quietly signed his latest Presidential Executive Order.

The Supporting Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources Executive Order seeks to create what amounts to a Presidential super committee that will oversee the regulation and development of the ‘unconventional’ natural gas industry for the purpose of ensuring a long-term natural gas supply for the United States, as well as to do so in a safe and environmentally responsible manner.”

So now, by Presidential decree alone, the federal government can “coordinate action” through thirteen core federal agencies against any domestic natural gas production facility — all according to standards determined to be “appropriate” not by law, but because of political agenda.

Moreover, because a key stated purpose of this latest Executive Order is to “ensure long-term supplies,” Barack Obama’s new decree gives the federal government the ability to shut down gas production operations as THEY see fit, which can lead directly to government price fixing and centralized control of an essential natural energy resource.

While Obama’s Executive Order aims to curtail some of the practices of the hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” industry, it further expands government control over our lives through more centralization of power and bureaucracy.

THINGS ARE GETTING WORSE. As experts start to dig deeper into Barack Hussein Obama’s recently-signed Executive Order, for so-called “National Defense Resources Preparedness,” they are reporting just how bad this really is: OBAMA IS PREPARING TO DECLARE MARTIAL LAW IN AMERICA.

As detailed in this report from the Canada Free Press:

Under this order the heads of these cabinet level positions; Agriculture, Energy, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Defense and Commerce can take food, livestock, fertilizer, farm equipment, all forms of energy, water resources, all forms of civil transportation (meaning any vehicles, boats, planes), and any other materials, including construction materials from wherever they are available. This is probably why the government has been visiting farms with GPS devices, so they know exactly where to go when they turn this one on.

Specifically, the government is allowed to allocate materials, services, and facilities as deemed necessary or appropriate. They decide what necessary or appropriate means.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! BARACK OBAMA IS TRYING TO VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION, BECOME A DICTATOR, AND TAKE AWAY OUR RIGHTS!

It’s up to YOU AND ME to STOP HIM NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

We’re not alone in reporting this. It’s starting to be reported in more and more media sources:

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HAS SIGNED A MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDER!

The latest report comes from the Russia Times:

“As folks headed out to happy hour last Friday evening, President Obama signed an executive order that could potentially give him the power to institute martial law in the United States in times of peace or during a national threat… Many Americans were shocked to find out that this order gives the president practically unlimited power over US citizens and their property. All in the name of national security of course.”

IT’S TRUE! As we said, Barack Hussein Obama has signed a Presidential Executive Order, which would give him the powers of a DICTATOR — whenever HE thinks it’s “necessary” to institute MARTIAL LAW!

According to press reports, “A White House order updating federal emergency powers has raised alarm among some conservative commentators, and U.S. Rep. Sandy Adams, that President Barack Obama is attempting to grab unconstitutional powers.”

A columnist with The Washington Times declared the mid-March order — an update of a 60-year-old document outlining the president’s authority in a national emergency — “stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution.” The conservative Drudge Report website linked to it with the headline, “Martial Law?

And Adams, R-Orlando, said it “leaves the door open for the president to give himself control over American resources during both times of peace, and national crisis.”

It’s almost unbelievable what Barack Hussein Obama is trying to do — BUT IT’S TRUE. According to a bombshell article in the Washington Times, “President Obama has given himself the powers to declare martial law — especially in the event of a war with Iran. It is a sweeping power grab that should worry every American.”

On March 16, the White House released an executive order, “National Defense Resources Preparedness.” The document is stunning in its audacity and a flagrant violation of the Constitution. It states that, in case of a war or national emergency, the federal government has the authority to take over almost every aspect of American society. Food, livestock, farming equipment, manufacturing, industry, energy, transportation, hospitals, health care facilities, water resources, defense and construction — all of it could fall under the full control of Mr. Obama. The order empowers the president to dispense these vast resources as he sees fit during a national crisis.

In short, according to the Times, the order gives Barack Obama the ability to IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW: “He now possesses the potential powers of a dictator. The order is a direct assault on individual liberties, private property rights and the rule of law. It is blatantly unconstitutional. The executive branch is arrogating responsibilities precluded by the Constitution without even asking the permission of Congress. The order gives Mr. Obama a blank check to erect a centralized authoritarian state.”

But why this — and why now?

SIMPLE — because he’s about to provoke a confrontation with IRAN, which could give him the excuse to implement martial law in America:

“Obama may be ready to launch devastating airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. If that should happen, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has promised massive retaliation. American troops will be targeted by Iranian proxies in Iraq and Afghanistan. American embassies will be struck across the Middle East and North Africa. Most ominously, Iranian-backed Hezbollah cells could launch devastating terrorist attacks in major U.S. cities, killing numerous citizens. The war may well come home, triggering domestic chaos. These are the very real risks of a major conflict with Iran.”

As columnist Jeffrey Kuhner notes, “The president does not – and should not – have the authority to subordinate the entire private economy to the government, especially without the consent of Congress and the American people. It is national socialism masquerading as military security. This is why conservatives — those who are serious about defending our constitutional republic – should demand that the executive order be repealed immediately.”

THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TO DO — RIGHT NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS: SEND YOUR MESSAGE NOW!

Thankfully, there are Members of Congress who are standing UP for the U.S. Constitution. Rep. Sandy Adams (R-FL) has introduced H. Con. Res. 110 in response to President Obama’s blatant attempt to go around the Constitution and institute martial law if HE thinks it’s “necessary.”

In introducing her bill, Rep. Adams stated, “President Obama issued a National Defense Resources Preparedness Executive Order on March 16, 2012 that raises some serious concerns in its wording and intent. The order has historically been based on the Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. App. 2061 et seq.). However, unlike previous presidents, President Obama’s executive order broadens the definition of ‘national defense.’ This leaves the door open for the president to give himself control over American resources during both times of peace, and national crisis. In response to the order, I have introduced a resolution to make it clear the president cannot use this as an excuse to abuse his executive power.”

Rep. Adams’ bill presently has 37 co-sponsors — but she needs a lot more to get the bill to the floor.

THAT’S WHERE YOU AND I COME IN!

If we can FLOOD the offices of all of these Congressmen, demanding that they SUPPORT H. Con. Res. 110, we CAN put a stop to Obama’s attempt to circumvent the Constitution and lay the groundwork for martial law. But we need YOUR help. Send your Blast Faxes to every single U.S. Congressman and Senator NOW!

Sincerely, William Greene, President RightMarch.com

P.S. As Rep. Adams stated when introducing her bill to stop Barack Obama’s attempt to put in place the ability to institute martial law on his own whim, “Each of us in Congress began our service to our friends, neighbors, and communities with the knowledge it was our responsibility to uphold the Constitution. We were elected to protect the values that make our nation great and to be a line of defense against the growing interjection of government into the everyday lives of the American people. I will continue to defend the principles on which our nation was founded and I will continue to uphold our Constitution.”

YOU AND I need to JOIN IN and force the REST of Congress to uphold our Constitution! TAKE ACTION NOW!

SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERY SINGLE U.S. CONGRESSMAN, DEMANDING THEY STOP BARACK OBAMA’S “EMERGENCY POWERS” MARTIAL LAW EXECUTIVE ORDERS !

Urgent: Election Fraud VOLUNTEERS Needed In WI, OH, PA, VA, FL

Urgent: Election Fraud VOLUNTEERS Needed In  WI, OH, PA, VA, FL
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 18:50
 

…And one lawsuit still pending                                                         

I have not watched any media coverage after Romney conceded the election on Tuesday night. Why bother? It’s just the same old noise we hear every four years. The talking heads spew nothing but meaningless “should have” or “could have” or “did’t do this” while completely avoiding the massive amount of problems with vote fraud in all its forms. Fine, let them talk while we fight.

Also, stop with the “America RIP” rhetoric. That plays right into the hands of the destroyers. It fosters nothing but a sense of defeat instead of I am a warrior and will not give in without a fight. This republic will die if millions fall into the trap of self-defeat and do nothing.

I do have a few things to say about the those who voted for communism, gun owners and Catholics, but that’s for another column. If you think I’m not hopping mad, think again. But, first things first.

Romney seems perfectly content to curl up and “accept defeat” when he should be front and center: “Something is very wrong with the numbers. There are too many instances of problems with machines and I will get a recount in five key states”. I doubt he will, so now it is up to we the people. Not because this is about Romney, but because it’s about once and for all proving election fraud in all its forms decided last Tuesday’s race. It’s about stopping a stinking communist from unlawfully remaining in the White House.
Our fellow citizens in five key states have to force the issue and it has to be done NOW because any challenge to the vote has to be made within a specified number of days and it varies by state. Once the vote is certified, it’s too late. No sporting event, no holiday shopping – NOTHING is more important right now than this fight. If Texas were a disputed state, believe me, even with my plate overflowing, I would be on the front lines. First it starts with the electors and second, stopping Congress from accepting the electoral college vote in January.
Willard has done at least one thing to his credit:                                     

Romney campaign files federal suit to ensure all military ballots count in Wisconsin

No question every effort was made to keep our military from voting because their vote alone would have defeated the impostor, Soetoro: In this shocking video, “United States Navy SEALs reveal that the SEAL community is not voting for President Obama because of his conduct as Commander in Chief”.
That piece of human excrement squatting in the White House allowed four Americans, one our U.S. Ambassador, to be slaughtered over in Benghazi and our active duty military know it. Benghazi is not going away and we have to make it a major issue everyday with the gutless cowards in the Outlaw Congress. Benghazi isn’t about political parties, it’s about Soetoro deliberately stopping our military from getting to the compound to rescue our people, period. It was more than doable; instead, four Americans were murdered by savages.
There’s no question illegal aliens have been voting for decades. Remember the news item I highlighted in my last column: Vanloads of Somalians driven to the polls in Ohio? Take money to the bank they’re here illegally. None of them spoke English and were told simply to hit the brown button for the Communist/Democratic Party USA.
Let’s look at two things:

Obama Lost in Every State With Photo ID Law

“November 7 | Was the election stolen? Remember all those lawsuits by Democrats demanding that any voter identification laws be repealed. Well, now we know why they filed them. They needed to steal the vote in certain key states so that Obama could be reelected.
“Curiously, Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting. A list of closely contested state elections with no voter ID, which narrowly went to Obama include: Minnesota (10), Iowa (6), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Pennsylvania (20). This amounts to a total of 66 electoral votes. When added to Romney’s total of 205 electoral votes, that would give Romney 271 electoral votes, enough votes to win even without Ohio or Florida.

“Romney also likely had the states of Florida and Ohio stolen from him, which don’t require photo IDs. Ohio requires a non-photo ID. Would a library card do? Florida “requests” a photo ID, but doesn’t require it. So what happens if they request a photo ID and the illegal alien Haitian doesn’t have one? Do they just count the vote anyway?” * Tens of thousands report voting problems

* Ohio Residents Told They Already Voted When They Showed Up At the Polls Tuesday

* Massive Voter Fraud In Broward County, FL

* Election Intimidation, Irregularities, And Broken Machines

* Complaints about voter IDs, ballots, long lines in election

* Ohio Voting Machines Only Allow Vote for Obama

* Philly GOP: Court ordered Poll inspectors being ousted for Dems

* Did this dirty trick get Obama re-elected?

* Undercover Video: Obama workers enable double-voting across state lines. Remember those numbers from my last column: “Nationally, one out of every eight voter registrations is inaccurate. Approximately 2.8 million Americans are registered in two or more states. Somewhere around 1.8 million registered voters are dead.”

* Letter from Rep. Allen West to elections stupidvisor; he allegedly lost his reelection bid. You’ll see something that happens every <snip> election: the numbers don’t add up. A prime example of why auditing the vote is key to exposing the fraud.

Now, are we going to just walk away or are we going to step up to the plate and stop another election stolen by massive fraud? We don’t have any time to waste. We need to get the word out. Even if you don’t live in one of the states below, maybe you know someone who does. Networking works.
Approximately 60 million people voted for Romney. That’s a lot of very angry people after what happened. Let us take our anger and put it to work in proving election fraud in five key states. It has to start on Monday and the hell with Monday Night Football.
Volunteers are desperately needed in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida.
Here is the plan – can you step up to the plate in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida? Florida isn’t listed, but it will be an easy state to prove fraud.
“Citizen Activists of Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia must IMMEDIATELY contact their respective state GOP party, and (if possible) the slate of GOP electors who were chosen at their state party conventions this past year.
“These two groups have legal standing in the respective states to legally challenge the results reported by the Secretary of State. The presidential voting was NOT for the president/vice president ticket. The voting was for the electors pledged to vote for the ticket in December. Romney/Ryan didn’t lose last night. The electors pledged to them in each of the key states were robbed of their election.
“There’s time to have a recount observed by trained election observers and representatives of the parties. There’s time to get a look at the ACTUAL results of the voting in each of the key states.
“Somebody from each state needs to step forward and run with this. Let me know if you need any advice. HOOAH! Please contact Alan via the PolitiJim contact page.”
People in those key states can call the Secretary of State’s office Monday and find out who are the electors chosen by the GOP last year besides calling the State GOP headquarters. Get your group, organization or just yourself to contact every elector in those states and demand they challenge the vote. Tea Party groups network in those states and get the word out. Stand up and fight. Don’t walk away and allow fraud to steal this election – again. Show that evil waste of human skin, George Soros, we will not roll over and take it, again. Make your voices heard in Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Florida. There are millions of you mad as I am. Please, start the fight first thing Monday morning.
If a half dozen electors in each of those five states are flooded with phone calls telling him/her that if the impostor is allowed to stay in the White House four more years, the destruction to this republic and them will be complete. Appeal to their own self survival. We’re tired of cowards. Always be polite, but don’t hold back. If you or your group does this, please let me know. We need to make sure this fight stays in front of the American people. It won’t by the MSM or cable networks like FOX, but we have the Internet.
Did this dirty trick get Obama re-elected?
Leo Donofrio was the first person to challenge ballot qualifications for Barry Soetoro aka Obama and John McCain back in 2008. Leo is an attorney in New Jersey who has educated millions of us about the true definition of ‘natural born citizen’.

Obama's New U.S. Constitution Revealed

Obama’s New  U.S. Constitution Revealed
Tuesday, November 13, 2012 21:06
 

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama said The U.S. Constitution is out-of-date, so he is ripping it up and writing a new one.

President Barack Obama told reporters last night that the U.S. Constitution has become a hindrance to progress in America.  “The document is so out-dated, that it is now becoming a hindrance to governing the country.”

Obama said that he has signed an Executive Order voiding the U.S. Constitution.  “We need to move forward.  We need change.”

Obama said he has already drafted a new constitution and that Americans “will love what I came up with.”   Insiders say that Obama is keeping a lot of old elements from the original constitution “he’s just making it better, bringing it into the 21st century,” said White House Spokesman, Jay Carney. Many Democrats said that President Obama was a constitutional scholar and probably the only President – since the Founding Fathers – who is qualified to change the Constitution.

“President Obama knows more about the Constitution than  any man who has ever lived,” said Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi.  “It’s about time we changed that document and we are lucky to have President Obama to do it.” Republicans, of course, were outraged that Obama would even consider changing the constitution, and they vowed to fight.   “We will fight this to the bitter end,” said Speaker of the House, John Boehner, “there’s no way we are going to let the Constitution of the United States be altered even a little bit.   If there are changes to be made to the Constitution it should be done the appropriate way – through amendments and we think Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor are the ones to make any changes.”
Insiders say the new Constitution will look a lot like the constitutions of Kenya, France and Soviet Russia. There are many, many changes in the New U.S. Constitution, but here are a few of the highlights.
1) SUPREME COURT – Will now have 11 members, which reflects the growing U.S. population. President Obama will appoint two new members immediately.  The President can name a new justice without needing the approval of Congress.
2) EXECUTIVE FINANCIAL POWER – The President will have the power to unilaterally enact any financial policy he chooses, without approval of Congress.  He must inform them, but they will not “stop” him (or her) from promoting their agenda.
3) LOBBYISTS – They will now be outlawed. There will be no more lobbyists in Washington.  However, there are some exemptions outlined in the New Constitution” :  Trial Lawyers, National Education Association and unions.  They will all be able to lobby.
4) REPRESENTATION – California, New York and Illinois will double the number of representatives in Congress – permanently.  “The President feels that the smartest people in the country live in these states, so they should be over-represented,” said Jay Carney.
5) GUNS & RELIGION – Both will be banned in the United States. Source @ http://weeklyworldnews.com By Frank Lake

Election Fraud? Obama Won More Than 99 Percent Of The Vote In More Than 100 Ohio Precincts

Election Fraud? Obama Won More Than 99 Percent Of The Vote In More Than 100  Ohio Precincts

November 11th, 2012

Barack Obama  received more than 99% of the vote in more than 100 precincts in Cuyahoga  County, Ohio on election day.  In fact, there were a substantial number of  precincts where Mitt Romney got exactly zero votes.   So how in the world did this happen?  Third world dictators don’t even get  99% of the vote.  Overall, Mitt Romney received 30.12%of the vote in Cuyahoga County.  There were even  a bunch of precincts in Cuyahoga County that Romney actually won.  But  everyone certainly expected that Cuyahoga County would be Obama territory.   And in most of the precincts that is exactly what we saw - large numbers of votes for both  candidates but a definite edge for Obama.  However, there are more than 100  precincts in Cuyahoga County where the voting results can only be described as  truly bizarre.  Yes, we always knew that urban areas would lean very  heavily toward Obama, but are we actually expected to believe that Obama got  over 99% of the votes in those areas?  In more than 50 different precincts,  Romney received 2 votes or less.  Considering how important the swing state  of Ohio was to the national election, one would think that such improbable  results would get the attention of somebody out there.  Could we be looking  at evidence of election fraud hidden in plain sight?

Perhaps if there were just one or two precincts where Obama got more than 99%  of the vote we could dismiss the results as “statistical anomalies” and ignore  them.

But there were more than 100 precincts where this happened in the most  important swing state in the nation.

Maybe there is some rational explanation for the numbers that you are about  to see.  If there is, I would really love to hear it.

What makes all of this even more alarming is that there were reports of  voting machine problems during early voting in Ohio.  It was being reported that some voters were claiming that they  tried to vote for Romney but that the voting machines kept recording their votes  as votes for Obama…

“I don’t know if it happened to anybody else or not, but this is the  first time in all the years that we voted that this has ever happened to me,” said Marion, Ohio, voter Joan Stevens.

Stevens said that when she voted, it took her three tries before the  machine accepted her choice to vote for Romney.

“I went to vote and I got right in the middle of Romney’s name,” Stevens  told Fox News, saying that she was certain to put her finger directly on her  choice for the White House.

She said that the first time she pushed “Romney,” the machine marked “Obama.”

So she pushed Romney again. Obama came up again. Then it happened a third  time.

“Maybe you make a mistake once, but not three times,” she told Fox  News.

The numbers that you are about to see are quite dramatic.  They come  straight from the website of the Cuyahoga County board of elections.  Once again, I  am not alleging that election fraud has actually taken place.  What I am  saying is that these numbers look very, very strange and that somebody needs to  start asking some questions.

Posted below are voting results from the presidential election from various  precincts in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.  If you wish to verify these numbers,  you can do so right here.  In each case, the specific precinct is  identified first, followed by the number of votes for Obama and then the number  of votes for Romney.

In this first set of Cuyahoga County precincts, Mitt Romney received exactly  zero votes in each instance…

0154 CLEVELAND -02-Q: 542 - 0
0192 CLEVELAND -04-L: 388 - 00204 CLEVELAND -05-E: 597 - 00205 CLEVELAND -05-F: 483 - 00206 CLEVELAND -05-G: 257 - 00219 CLEVELAND -05-T: 386 - 00228 CLEVELAND -06-H: 405 - 00232 CLEVELAND -06-L: 70 - 00233 CLEVELAND -06-M: 419 - 00241 CLEVELAND -06-U: 118 - 00248 CLEVELAND -07-F: 361 - 00273 CLEVELAND -08-J: 472 - 0
0280 CLEVELAND -08-Q: 49 - 00285 CLEVELAND -09-B: 414 - 00288 CLEVELAND -09-E: 478 - 00523 EAST CLEVELAND -04-C: 486 - 0

Are we actually supposed to believe that not a single person wanted to vote  for Mitt Romney in any of those precincts?

But wait, there’s more.

In this next set of results we get to see many of the precincts where Mitt  Romney received exactly one vote…

0118 CLEVELAND -01-A: 438 - 10144 CLEVELAND -02-G: 532 - 1
