Yesterday, 5:09 pmGenral Carter Ham, Forced To Resign By Obama Because Of What He Knew About Benghazi, To Testify Abou

Genral Carter Ham, Forced To Resign By Obama Because Of What He Knew About Benghazi, To Testify About Benghazi June 26th.

Tuesday, June 18, 2013

 

Gen. Carter Ham was reportedly forced into retirement either by the Obama regime or Hillary Clinton because of his knowledge about what really happened in Benghazi. Now that may come back to bite Obama and Hillary Clinton in the ass as Carter Ham will testify on Benghazi and the lack of military response in front of Congress on June 26.

This could be another huge blow for the Obama Administration if what he has to say is big.  If the man was forced into retirement over it then this should be huge.  Before Its News will bring you his testimony about Benghazi to congress LIVE on June 26th.  Should be lots of fireworks!

Tipping Toward Tyranny

Tipping Toward Tyranny

“We know better than what they tell us, yet hope otherwise.” — Thomas Pynchon, in a 2003 introduction to George Orwell’s reprinted classic, 1984

After the past few months, nothing President Barack Obama and his Chicago troika (first lady Michelle Obama, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder) says shocks me. Their ideology is based on their African-American heritage and their Islamic sympathies. What should shock us is that we are allowing the Obama Administration to do what it wants with nary an objection — not from the people, not from the press and not even from our Republican representatives in Congress.

Our latest engagement in Syria will only make that nation a breeding ground for future terrorists. The consequences of that will be arguments by the Obama Administration for even greater authority. That will mean Americans will have fewer liberties.  Don’t count on public outrage.

In a recent poll from the Pew Research Center and The Washington Post, 56 percent of those surveyed said the National Security Agency’s (NSA) program to track phone records is acceptable. Only 41 percent said it was unacceptable. When asked about anti-terrorism efforts, 62 percent of respondents said it was more important for the government to investigate possible terror threats, even if the price was personal privacy.

I cannot comprehend how almost two out of every three Americans are perfectly willing to let Obama shred the 4th Amendment. It gets worse. Some Republicans in Congress are suggesting that journalists should be subject to arrest if their articles put the Nation at risk. Risk is how the Obama Administration defines it. If this happens, there goes the 1st Amendment. All of this begs the question: If we are willing to give up these Constitutional rights, are we willing to give up everything in the Constitution? Will America sacrifice the right to bear arms and even the 22nd Amendment, the only instrument that limits the President to two terms?

I try not to be too pessimistic, but it seems that we are at a tipping point — something Malcolm Gladwell studied and wrote about in his acclaimed book The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. In it, he states, “Change happens not gradually but at one dramatic moment.”

Flying Blind And Blind Trust

My own personal experiences have demonstrated that Gladwell is correct. I almost had a life-ending moment, and I wasn’t aware of it until it was upon me.

It was 20 years ago when my uncle, Dick Myers, flew me to Billings, Mont., in his Cessna 172. We took the trip to see Little Bighorn Battlefield, the site of Gen. George Custer’s last stand.

Dick had let me handle the controls from the co-pilots seat many times before in mid-flight, but only on perfectly clear days. Dick had flown for decades, with 2,000 hours as first in command. When he asked me if I wanted to take control over the middle of Montana, I said, “You bet.”

We were cruising at 120 mph at an altitude of 8,000 feet. Dick was taking a rest in the left seat, eyes closed.

A cloudbank overcame us with me at the controls. I understood only two gauges: the altimeter and the airspeed indicator. In pilot jargon, I was flying VFR, or visual flight rules. Given my inexperience, it was necessary for me to be able to see the horizon just to keep the plane flying straight and level. But I was blissfully ignorant as the clouds came upon us. Everything seemed fine when Dick became startled, saying, “I have the controls!”

I didn’t know what all the excitement was about, but certainly Dick was plenty excited. He grabbed the yoke and rammed the throttle forward. The small Cessna’s single engine roared. We momentarily broke through the clouds. It was then that I was able to see I had not been flying straight. Our plane was listing to the right, and the nose of the plane was pointed toward the prairie below.

It couldn’t have been much more than a minute; but in that time, I had lost all ability to tell up from down. It is called spatial disorientation. It is what happened to John F. Kennedy Jr. when he crashed his Piper Saratoga into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., in 1999. All Dick had to do was give the instruments a quick check to stabilize the plane as we flew back into cloud cover.

“That was close,” Dick exclaimed. I could tell he was angry at himself for not being alert as I flew into the clouds. He had trusted the weather report before we departed which said there would be an unlimited ceiling. After we landed (and over a much-needed beverage), he told me that when flying, things can go bad in the blink of an eye. As Gladwell explained in his book, a great many things reach a tipping point.

It is easy to blame the loss of liberties on Obama because of his disregard for the Constitution. Yet millions of Americans implicitly trust Obama to do the right thing — even after the Benghazi, Libya, cover-up; abuses by the Internal Revenue Service; the seizure of telephone records of reporters; and the all-encompassing NSA spy program.

How can you blindly trust someone you have never met and don’t know? Even the people who have written about Obama and support his policies admit that nobody — with the exception of his wife, Michelle — knows who Obama is.

Let me tell you about trust. That same summer I was flying the airplane, there was a front-page story in our hometown newspaper. Our family doctor of 15 years was arrested (he was later convicted) for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male patient. The news was crushing because he was a good doctor and, I thought, a sensible man. He delivered our babies and even made house-calls if anyone in the family was ill. He had a wife and child. He was the kind of man that women wanted to be with and men wanted to be like. He had a thriving practice. And I thought I knew him well.

All these years later, I still ask: How could I have been so wrong? Who do we really know?

I have known my wife for 40 years. I believe I know what is in her heart, and she knows what is in mine. But beyond my wife, I really can’t make blanket statements about anyone. And I certainly wouldn’t make one about someone I have never met who is also a politician.

When millions of Americans feel they can trust Obama, we are near a tipping point. I just hope that America can save itself before it’s too late.

Yours in good times and bad,

June 17, 2013, 10:44 pmBenghazi Scandal Takes Another Turn Against Obama and Clinton

Benghazi Scandal Takes Another Turn Against Obama and  Clinton

 by Dave Jolly

It seems that in the wake of the IRS and NSA scandals that the Benghazi  scandal has almost been forgotten.  However the recent admission of Martin  Dempsey, Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, is certain to bring it all back into  the limelight.

In the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack on the US Consulate grounds  in Benghazi, The White House and State Department both said that there were no  troops or Special Forces that could have reached the consulate in time to help  them, even though there were reports that said otherwise.

Now we learn that both the White House (Obama) and the State Department  (Clinton) were again lying to the American people.  According to a statement  from Dempsey, a highly trained team of Special Forces, C-110, were within a  few hours of Benghazi.  The consulate reported that they were under attack  early on and the attack lasted over 8 hours.  If Dempsey is telling the  truth, the Special Forces unit could have been there and possibly save the lives  of the four Americans.

Dempsey tried to protect the White House and State Department by first saying  that the Special Forces unit was more than 6 hours away and that was only if  they were setting on the tarmac at the time.  He did acknowledge that the  unit was training in Croatia.  A large commercial jet liner can make the  trip in about two and half hours, and sources close to the unit said they could  have loaded up and flown to Benghazi in about four to four and half hours.

He also testified that the Special Forces unit had been told to begin  preparations to leave Croatia to return to the base in Germany.  If that  were true, then they would have already been preparing their gear for transport  which would have cut their arrival time to Benghazi down.

Dempsey’s testimony before the Senate did verify a report that was aired on  Fox News back in April that said there was a Special Forces unit close enough to  have responded to the call for help from the consulate.  The Fox  News report quoted a whistleblower source as saying:

“We had the ability to load out, get on birds and fly there, at a minimum  stage.  “C-110 had the ability to be there, in my opinion, in a matter of  about four hours … four to six hours.”

“They would have been there before the second attack.  They would have  been there at a minimum to provide a quick reaction force that could facilitate  their exfil [sic] out of the problem situation. Nobody knew how it was going to  develop. And you hear a whole bunch of people and a whole bunch of advisers say  hey, we wouldn’t have sent them there because, you know, the security was  unknown situation.”

To add more controversy to what was reported and what really happened,  Dempsey told the Senate hearing that on the night of the Benghazi attack, the  command of the Special Forces unit was unexpectedly transferred from the  European Command to the Africa Command.  Former Libyan Deputy Ambassador to  Libya Gregory  Hicks testified earlier that when he got word of the attack, he tried to  contact the Africa Command but received no support.  He said:

“At about 10:45 or 11 we confer, and I asked the defense attache who had been  talking about AFRICOM and with the joint staff, ‘Is anything coming? Will they  be sending us any help? Is there something out there?’ And he answered that, the  nearest help was in Aviano, the nearest – where there were fighter planes. He  said that it would take two to three hours for them to get onsite, but that  there also were no tankers available for them to refuel. And I said, ‘Thank you  very much,’ and we went on with our work.”

So even in his attempt to support the White House and Statement Department,  Dempsey only helped verify the earlier reports that help could have been sent to  Benghazi, but it wasn’t.  The help could have possibly arrived in time to  make a difference, but no attempt or effort was made to save the Americans at  the consulate.  Our government deserted our ambassador and his staff and  just left them there to fend for themselves against nearly 200 hostiles.

Perhaps this needs to be pointed out to anyone interested in pursuing a  diplomatic career with the State Department.  Once deployed on foreign  shores, you’re on your own, especially if you are in a known hostile region and  the President and Secretary of State will lie to your families as your body is  returned to them.  Doesn’t that make you want to sign up?

June 17, 2013, 8:23 amBenghazi Murders – The Obama Way

Benghazi Murders – The Obama Way

Benghazi MIA Obama Hillary SC Benghazi Murders – the Obama Way

They are experts at covering up, hiding, and withholding information.  It’s a way of life for the Obama Administration. Obama directs every scandal that comes our way from a distance – he is the director behind the director, unscathed and free as a bird.

His peons scramble to get the props in place before the you-know-what hits the fan. Each one knows their part and sets the stage for his devious scandals. The Benghazi terrorist attack took four beautiful American Patriots from us; and yet almost 9 months later, we’re just treading water, playing the cat and mouse game just like we did with the Fast and Furious gunrunner project.

Panetta and Biden slinked away into the night hiding out in their assigned dog houses waiting until the smoke cleared.  Clinton scored a home run on the witness stand slipping, sliding and hitting one home run after the other. She knows the art of interrogation and pretty much shut her interrogators down as she finalized her testimony by thrashing about, raising her hand, grimacing, and yelling “What difference does it really make?”

Rice slipped through the cracks for a while until Obama was ready to assign her a new position. And her excuse for lying on National TV was this: she said she was just a patsy. I guess that’s a roundabout way of apologizing, expressing that her lies on 5 National talk shows wasn’t her fault. Guess she’s not prepared to point her finger at anyone, but we all know someone in the White House wrote the script about that video being responsible for the Benghazi massacre.

Jay Carney came to the table doing his soft shoe dance, pulling one rabbit after the other out of his hat for the news media spinning his falsehoods. Problem is that Jay doesn’t have his hat anymore and has run out of rabbit food. The press is starting to prey on Jay, and he’d best get his running shoes on because the media no longer buys his lies.

And then there’s Obama – to hear him talk, he no longer gets morning briefings and must depend on the news media to get him up to snuff. Obama will say “I personally am not involved in these scandals; they are” – just who the heck is “They,” Obama?

The Benghazi murders remain a mystery; each player has lied and played the blame game.  There are many conspiracy theories about the Benghazi murders; and so far, the Obama Administration has managed to hide out above the law, covering up their paper trail as they go…

We do know starting in early 2012 that Ambassador Stevens requested more protection, and his requests were denied. We know that Lamb watched the Benghazi terrorist attack on our Ambassador and other Americans in real time via the drones. We know that Obama, Hillary, and Panetta were advised while still in the White House about the attack on our Consulate and Ambassador Stevens.

We know that Obama split and ran that night to prepare for a campaign event in Las Vegas, never to be heard from again.  Hillary did whatever Hillary does, maybe more wine-tasting (or, possibly, she flagged down a plane and went to her favorite Cuban bar for a little bit of dancing and relaxation.) Anyway, out of sight, out of mind – Hillary wasn’t the least bit concerned about the Benghazi attack.

We know that our military was given direct orders to stand down, leaving our Ambassador and three other American men at the mercy of the terrorists.

A quick snapshot of the Benghazi events seems self evident that this scandal was planned months before Sept 11, 2012. It’s doubtful that Obama, Hillary, and Panetta wanted our Ambassador and three other Americans murdered by terrorists just before the Election.

The fact that Obama, Clinton, and Panetta were apparently unconcerned, totally disengaged, and uninterested when they were informed of the attack on our Consulate and Ambassador Stevens leads one to believe that the three didn’t think our Ambassador would be murdered. The orders to step down would suggest that they believed Chris Stevens would be kidnapped on the night of September 11, 2012, not murdered.

Their original Benghazi plan didn’t go off like clockwork; our four Americans were murdered by terrorists. Being between a rock and a hard place, Obama’s team realized that he would probably lose the Presidential Election if Americans caught wind of his negligence as Commander in Chief.

So the Obama Administration switched gears, blaming the YouTube video for the next 5 plus weeks. To solidify their scheme, they had the creator of the video arrested in the middle of the night and placed behind bars. Obama and Hillary created a video for their Muslim friends apologizing for the video.

Jay Carney, Susan Rice, and the Liberal News Media were the appointed messengers to spread the word about the video.  Obama and Clinton followed suit, putting on their sad faces, pretending outrage, and beating the YouTube video to death; but it worked. Look who’s in the White House for a second term.

May God Bless America

As Always,

June 16, 2013, 9:56 pmMultiplying scandals to hide the one scandal that could sink Obama

Multiplying scandals to hide the one scandal that could sink Obama

 

Source: Jon Rappoport

        Realize, first of all, that the normal attention span of elite media is about three days. If you can jam your version of data down their throats for that length of time, you’re golden.

Then you’re facing another three days. You start all over again.

You being the White House PR flack machine.

The overall effect you’re looking for is: here today, gone tomorrow (or in three days). Nothing sticks.

Therefore, the public, or that part of it that can still think and reflect at all, is yanked from one fragmentary story to another. Sooner or later, surrender comes.

“Do me. Give me your stories. I’ll buy them. Then I’ll forget them. Then I’ll buy the new ones.”

In this climate, there is no process that can be called reasoning. It doesn’t exist. It’s all about What’s New.

Fast&Furious? Old hat. Benghazi? He said-he said. Who cares? The Feds spying on AP reporters? A yawner.

No traction. That’s the goal of every modern White House press corps.

Of course, along come stories that can’t be slid out of the pan and tossed in the garbage. A war. A mass shooting in a school or a theater.

In that case, the White House quickly develops a message. The theme. The takeaway.

“What’s our agenda here? What do we want to leave people with?”

“Mental health. This Lanza kid was a nutjob. Therefore, America needs a better mental health system. The president will announce a new program to install community mental-health centers across the land.”

“And guns. The kid had access to his mother’s guns. Feeds into taking all the guns away. From everybody.”

White House PR flacks spread these messages to the press and enlist the help of Congresspeople to make supporting statements.

They invent reality for the masses.

Once in a while, a truly ugly scandal rears its head. If it isn’t cut off at the pass, it could damage the White House and take the president into a place he doesn’t want to inhabit. Benghazi, for example.

“Obama stood by and did nothing while Americans were murdered.” That story line has to be stopped.

So he-said he-said gets a heavy workout. Accusations and denials. The pile of nonsense that goes nowhere.

Then there is the suggestion of blame that should go elsewhere. The State Department. The CIA. Put them front and center and deflect responsibility away from the president. Try a presidential “I didn’t know what was going on.”

If all that doesn’t work, it’s a crisis. It might be time to introduce (leak) new scandals. A few of them. A traffic jam.

If this seems improbable and shocking, take a breath and consider that it’s in the age-old war playbook. Sacrifice a battle to win the war.

“We lose here to win there.”

Politicians who gain significant power don’t think like “good people.” They aren’t operating as the PR-fed media tells you they’re operating. They think like Sun Tzu and von Clausewitz.

“Pretend inferiority.” “All war is based on deception.” “When we are able to attack, we must seem unable.” “War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst.”

Presidents are at war. They’re at war from the moment they step into power. If they’re not, the people behind the curtain, who put the president into office, take up the slack and protect them.

Benghazi could torpedo Obama? Could take him down? The scandal is widening? It’s getting harder to contain? It’s rising to a roar?

Okay. Do the one thing that will appear to be completely counter-intuitive. Leak new scandals. Let a few dupes take the fall. Who cares?

Obscure Benghazi with new shocks. The AP scandal. The IRS scandal. The NSA-Snowden scandal. In each of those, Obama himself can survive. The damage he incurs is far less than what would happen if the Benghazi op explodes.

Aside from Americans being murdered at Benghazi, which is the emotional spark that could ignite the public, there is the matter of the White House and the Pentagon and the CIA arming the very terrorists who killed Christopher Stevens and the Seals. Arming them to make them into “heroic rebels” fighting against the Assad government in Syria.

Rahm Emanuel says, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” The spin off of that is: Expose new crises if you need them.

The media are ready, willing, and able to publicize the new crises. They live for them. Big stories. Commands don’t have to come down from the penthouse to editors and reporters. It’s an easy slam-dunk. Leak a new scandal, and the wolves of the press come to feed.

As you sit here reading this, do you know or remember exactly who first leaked the IRS and AP scandals to the press? And if you’re in the vast minority of people who think they remember, are you correct? Do you really know how the initial leak occurred and who it came from?

In the Snowden/NSA case, we presume it was Snowden himself who did the leaking, because, as an independent voice, he wanted to. He chose the moment to tell The Guardian and the Washington Post to move ahead and blow the whistle.

But, as I’ve argued in prior articles, it’s far more likely Snowden is an agent of forces who want to blast a hole in the NSA for their own un-altruistic reasons. Therefore, the timing of the NSA scandal, as a media story, would have been a choice Snowden’s handlers made.

In the Watergate myth, two rookie reporters for the Washington Post, following up on the Watergate break-in, caught a break. Woodward did. He “knew a guy.” The guy was standing in the shadows of a parking garage. He said, “This story is bigger than the break-in.” And Woodward and Bernstein were off and running.

Someone wanted that story to become a scandal, to take down Nixon. Deep Throat in the garage was fulfilling a higher purpose. I’ve written about this several times. Basically, David Rockefeller, who owned Nixon, was horrified that the president was laying tariffs on goods imported into the US.

It went directly against David’s prime Globalist strategy: “free trade.”

Rockefeller was the real leaker. He was the man who gave the green light to take down the crook, Nixon.

Take a president down. Protect a president. Either way, in times of crisis, the people in power do what’s necessary. They don’t care about Nice or Kind or Moral or Just. That’s fiction. That’s fairy tale.

The job of elite media is to believe and promote the idea that Nice and Kind and Moral and Just are the rule in political life, and scandal is the exception. That’s the myth for the kiddies.

The truth goes like this. “Okay, guys, we’re in the war room. We’ve got Benghazi. This is a bad one. Obama is exposed. His flank is unprotected. If we let this scandal play out, it’s going to drown the president. We can time a few new scandals so people will forget about Benghazi. Let’s bring them into play, one after the other. Hit them hard. Obama will weather the storm. Memory is short…”

Here’s what the National Journal reported on June 13:

“Obama’s job-approval ratings in the Gallup Poll have averaged between 47 percent and 51 percent each week since mid-February. This past week, June 3-9, his approval rating was 48 percent and his disapproval rating was 45 percent. All of the other major polls except for Fox News’s show essentially no change in his standing from a couple of months ago, before renewed attention to Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service revelations, the Associated Press phone-records flap, and the recent leaks about the National Security Agency’s electronic-surveillance system.”

The president is, in fact, surviving the recent scandals. At least, that’s how the press and the pollsters are presenting it.

The op is working.

Is Obama taking hits? Of course. Has his credibility diminished? Yes. Will the recent scandals affect his ability to “get things done” in his second term? Yes.

But so far, the larger threat, Benghazi, has been deflected.

And the weakening of the dollar, the increasing of government debt, the economic devastation of the country, the true unemployment rate, the continuing war in Afghanistan, the stepping up of the Surveillance State, the militarization of police forces, the corporatizing of agriculture…and all the other crucial indicators of the decline of America as a modern Roman Empire are on track.

On track to what?

A Globalist planet.

A kingdom of controlled Earth, where all nations, including America, are brought down to a level of power that can managed from above.

Obama, like all recent Globalist presidents, is doing his assigned job. His number-one job. He’s winning the war as he sees it and as his controllers see it.

Report: Mosques Exempt From Gov’t Surveillance


 

A pro-Israel advocate says no one should be surprised by a recent report that radical mosques are now exempt from monitoring by the FBI.

According to an online editorial in Investor’s Business Daily, mosques have been off-limits to the FBI for almost two years. Since October 2011, says that report, surveillance or undercover sting operations in mosques have been prohibited without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the “Sensitive Operations Review Committee.”

The panel was reportedly set up because of complaints from Muslim groups about sting operations conducted by the FBI, which were very effective in disrupting dozens of Islamic terror plots against the homeland – and just months after the ACLU and the Council on American-Islamic Relations sued the FBI, asserting that infiltration and monitoring of Los Angeles mosques violated the civil rights of Muslims in that area.

The Psalms
109
A Cry for Vengeance
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
1 Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me:

 

       
they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred;

 

       
and fought against me without a cause.
4 For my love they are my adversaries:

 

       
but I give myself unto prayer.
5 And they have rewarded me evil for good,

 

       
and hatred for my love.
6 Set thou a wicked man over him:

 

       
and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned:

 

       
and let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few;

 

       
and let another take his office. Acts 1.20
9 Let his children be fatherless,

 

       
and his wife a widow.
10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg:

 

       
let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.
11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath;

 

       
and let the strangers spoil his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him:

 

       
neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off;

 

       
and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD;

 

       
and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be before the LORD continually,

 

       
that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Because that he remembered not to show mercy,

 

       
but persecuted the poor and needy man,
that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing,

 

       
so let it come unto him:
as he delighted not in blessing,
so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment,

 

       
so let it come into his bowels like water,
and like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be unto him as the garmentwhich covereth him,

 

       
and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD,

 

       
and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake:

 

       
because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.
22 For Iam poor and needy,

 

       
and my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth:

 

       
I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting;

 

       
and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 I became also a reproach unto them:

 

       
when they looked upon me they shook their heads. Mt. 27.39 · Mk. 15.29
26 Help me, O LORD my God:

 

       
O save me according to thy mercy:
27 that they may know that thisis thy hand;

 

       
that thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 Let them curse, but bless thou:

 

       
when they arise, let them be ashamed;
but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame;

 

       
and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;

 

       
yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor,

 

       
to save him from those that condemn his soul.

June 12, 2013, 9:33 amObama's(Barry Soetoro) War on Christians

OBAMA'S WAR ON CHRISTIANS The ultimate outrage for the most outrageous presidency in U.S. history                                               
"Scandal." That one word pretty much summarizes the Obama administration’s second term – from Benghazi-gate, to the IRS’s all-out war on hundreds of conservative organizations, to the Justice Department’s "criminalization of journalism" through targeting, harassing and seizing the records of news reporters and editors.
And that’s in addition to the many other Obama scandals, from his illegally waged war against Libya and his policy of targeted assassinations of Americans (both designated by a bipartisan panel of constitutional experts as "clearly impeachable offenses") to the Justice Department’s disastrous "Fast and Furious" gun-running operation which resulted in at least 100 deaths – and countless other outrages.
Yet, the mother of all Obama scandals – indeed, the root of all the rest – receives little attention from the press. In fact, most Americans have never even heard an explicit reference to the primary scandal of the Obama administration. That is the sole focus of the June issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. As Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian says in the issue, headlined "OBAMA’S WAR ON CHRISTIANS": "Just scratch a little below the surface of all the current scandals, and the mother-lode comes fully into view."
"Take the IRS scandal. Who exactly are all these 500-plus ‘tea party,’ ‘patriot,’ ‘conservative’ and ‘prolife’ groups being targeted by the revenue agency?" asks Kupelian. "Who populates these organizations? What beliefs and values animate them? By and large, they are Christians and Jews who strongly hold to a traditional, biblical, Judeo-Christian worldview."
Continues Kupelian: "Haven’t you wondered why the Obama Department of Homeland Security warns law enforcement departments that the real ‘extremist’ threats to America are from pro-lifers, patriots, constitutionalists, amnesty opponents, gun enthusiasts and military veterans? Haven’t you scratched your head trying to figure out why the U.S. military recently threatened to court-martial Christian service personnel just for sharing their faith with others?
"The hard truth is: Barack Obama considers traditional, freedom-loving, center-right Christian America – not Marxism, not Islamism, not a toxic culture nor a stagnant economy – to be his biggest enemy, his greatest obstacle to fundamentally transforming America."
Highlights of "OBAMA’S WAR ON CHRISTIANS" include:
•  "The biggest Obama scandal of all" by David Kupelian

•  "Banning Christianity from the armed forces" by Joseph Farah, who reports that the U.S. military was recently advised that Christian believers are "monsters" who "terrorize" others with their faith

•  "Under Obama, Christians and conservatives are ‘extremists’" by Bob Unruh, on the current administration’s relentless demonization of opponents of abortion, same-sex marriage and illegal immigration

•  "IRS targeting of conservatives
continues
" by Jerome R. Corsi, on the public interest law firm that has now sued the revenue agency in federal court on behalf of 25 different organizations

•  "IRS demands Christian pro-lifers reveal ‘the content of their prayers’" – one of the most outrageous abuses in an era of outrages

•  "Why Obama wars against Judeo-Christian America" by David Kupelian, an in-depth and thought-provoking exploration of what’s
really
behind the never-ending attacks on everything "decent" and "normal"

•  "Obamacare forcing Christian companies to provide abortion pill" by Bob Unruh, showing how some of the Obama administration’s abuses are so egregious that the judiciary is siding against them

•  "New class of people identified as IRS enemies" by Gina Loudon, on the bizarre fact that families that adopt children are
far
more likely to be audited by the IRS than "millionaires and billionaires"

•  "Warning from Canada: Orwellian future awaits U.S." by Art Moore, who documents how the lessons of 10 years of same-sex marriage in our neighbor to the north totally shatter the arguments of "gay marriage" supporters

•  "Lesbian journalist: 'Gay marriage is a lie'" – in a candid moment, journalist-activist confirms everything most opponents of same-sex marriage have long believed

•  "Feds
require
employees to give open LGBT approval" by Matt Barber, who explains the latest – and astonishingly Orwellian – decree from the Obama Justice Department: No longer is it OK for Christians just to be intimidated and "shut up" regarding "lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders" in the federal workplace – they most verbally support it! As one internal DOJ memo to employees puts it: "Silence will be interpreted as disapproval"

•  "How a revered Christian institution was brought down" by Peter LaBarbera, a poignant, insider look at what really caused the downfall of the Boy Scouts of America

•  "Dobson: Feds must stop silencing and intimidating Christians" by Bob Unruh, in which the evangelical leader confirms that the IRS has been directly targeting traditional-values religious groups – including his own

•  "Assaulting Christians but coddling terrorists" by David Limbaugh, on the U.S. military’s disturbing track record of targeting religious liberty

•  "Reflections by a former Muslim on Obama's love of Islam" by Nonie Darwish, on how Obama became the "savior of both Islam and socialists"

•  "The world's most dynamic religion is ..." by Dennis Prager, who surprisingly reveals that today’s most influential belief system – and the one increasingly dominating America – is neither Christianity nor Islam

•  "Beware of liberals in evangelicals' clothing" by Ann Coulter, who exposes the totally irrational "new Christian ethic of compassion-by-personal-encounter"

•  "Christian civil disobedience may be imminent" by Patrick J. Buchanan, who asks: What happens when millions of believers refuse to obey new same-sex marriage laws?

•  "Memo to Christian troops: We've got your back" by Matt Barber, who speaks for one public-interest law firm in encouraging American soldiers to "stand tall and proclaim your faith proudly."

Obama Phone Scanda Even More Ominous Than You Think

Tuesday, June 11, 2013

can_you_hear_me_now_lg

    At first glance, the phone records scandal is appalling because everyone uses a phone and no one wants everyone to know how many times they call Aunt Gladys.  And the fact that the government has all your phone records can be unsettling, but unless you are selling meth online, chances are most people will not suffer anything beyond their privacy.  But, the ramifications of this scandal could be exceedingly more serious than you have thought about.

CONGRESS

The Blackberrys given to all members of congress and many congressional aides run through Verizon.  That may not be coincidental.  Remember those stolen medical records?  Every state judge in California had their records pulled.  Why?  Someday, you might need a favorable court ruling……….  And what if you had a bill in the Senate and you are one or two votes shy?  You might learn enough from the phone records to get those extra votes.  Get something big enough and you could convince someone to resign for “personal reasons.

Furthermore, what would stop you from using those records to garner information on the opposition.  What if a whistleblower was willing to give up materials of evidence but weren’t willing to come forward.  Those phone records could be used to find out who the informant was.  Is this representative having an affair?  Did that Senator use inside information to make millions?  You have traded buying someone’s vote to blackmailing them for it.  So, Rep —–, who do you think would be madder?  Your constituents or your wife?  You choose.  And does anyone doubt this regime would hesitate to do that?  Does that explain Roberts’ vote on Obamacare?

You could gather information to use against that republican in the 2014 elections.  The possibilities are endless.  And what happens after they find curiosities in your phone records?  Tapped phones and bugged offices?

Private Corporations and Political Opponents

Having trouble raising enough for the DNC?  Check the phone records of all the top execs.  Need some favorable newspaper stories on your candidate?  Check the phone records of all the editors.  Need more volunteers to do your legwork?  Check the phone records of the union bosses.  Need some dirt on an opponent who leads in the polls?  Check all the phone records of his or her close aides.  There’s nothing you can’t do.  And when you find a problem with their phone records, you simply pull up their email with PRISM.

Foreign and Industrial Spies

Think about it.  Snowden was a 29 year old employee of a contractor who works for the NSA.  What would prevent some foreign country to plant a spy in a system so apparently loose.  Or what would prevent someone from snooping on industrial secrets that could be sold to the highest bidder?  So many applications for the unscrupulous.  But enough of the Obama regime, imagine what havoc amateur criminals could inflict on our businesses.

Seizing all these phone records are bad but the uses of that information borders on the unimaginable.

June 10, 2013, 10:45 amBombshell... Legendary Columbia University Professor Claims That None Of His Colleagues Remember Oba

Bombshell… Legendary Columbia University Professor Claims That None Of His Colleagues Remember Obama

Saturday, June 8, 2013
 

 

http://www.dcclothesline.com

Henry Graff

    It’s been a rough week for Barack Obama, with The New York Times saying his administration has lost all credibility, the new EPA scandal, the new NSA scandal, etc. It seems to be all in a week’s work for the President. Things are certainly unraveling quickly. In fact top Democrats are turning on the administration. Today Joe Manchin called for Eric Holder to resign.

Anyway I read a very interesting story in The Blaze tonight and I want to share a short excerpt. This piece was written by Wayne Allyn Root who is technically a former classmate of Obama’s at Columbia, yet he and none of the professors seem to remember him. The Blaze reports:

I was put on Professor Graff’s trail by another Columbia classmate, skeptical about Obama’s story. He told me that Professor Graff had been the speaker for the Class of ’53 last weekend at Columbia. My friend was watching Graff answer questions from the crowd when he was asked about Obama at Columbia. Graff said, “I have my doubts he ever went here.”

I did some digging and located Graff’s home phone number. I called him yesterday. Now retired, he was delighted to hear from me. He agreed to go on the record about Obama. Unlike Obama, Professor Graff clearly remembered me. He was thrilled to hear from his former student. I was in several of Graff’s classes and he remembered me like it was yesterday. He sounded great- like he hasn’t lost any of his trademark sharpness in 30 years since we last met.

I was honored to learn that this legendary historian has been following my political career for many years. But he had no such cheery things to say about the President. Graff said, “I taught at Columbia for 46 years. I taught every significant American politician that ever studied at Columbia. I know them all. I’m proud of them all. Between American History and Diplomatic History, one way or another, they all had to come through my classes. Not Obama. I never had a student with that name in any of my classes. I never met him, never saw him, never heard of him.”

Even more importantly, Professor Graff knew the other history and political science professors. “None of the other Columbia professors knew him either” said Graff.

Graff concluded our interview by saying, “I’m very upset by the whole story. I am angry when I hear Obama called ‘the first President of the United States from Columbia University.’ I don’t consider him a Columbia student. I have no idea what he did on the Columbia campus. No one knows him.”

It is a very interesting article and I would suggest you read it in its entirety. It is full of good information. It raises interesting points about Obama’s college records being sealed and the fact that so few people claim to actually remember his attendance at this Ivy League University.

June 8, 2013, 4:03 amAnonymous: PRISM Treasure Trove Data Dump

Anonymous: PRISM Treasure Trove Data Dump

Friday, June 7, 2013
 

 

Anonymous has just released a ‘treasure trove’ PRISM data dump on the NSA and this horrendous illegal spying scandal that should truly put them and Barack Obama ‘out of business’ for good for these crimes against innocent Americans. A must-watch video report on this atrocity showing the depths our country has slipped into an illegal ‘police state’ is also below. NOW is the time to end this attack upon Americans! We should ALL be mad as hell and calling our Congressmen and women and expressing our outrage. These people have forgotten who they are here to serve; it is time that they remember. From Gizmodo.:

In the wake of last night’s revelation  that everyone in the world has a creepy NSA-shaped stalker, defenders of online liberty and generally angry internet people Anonymous have leaked a treasure trove of NSA documents, including seriously important stuff like the US Department of Defense’s ‘Strategic Vision’ for controlling the internet.

The documents — 13 in total — were posted online, along with an accompanying message full of the normal Anonymous bluster: people won’t be silenced, they have the memory of trivia-master elephants, the governments of the world will fall, your average press release really.

The documents seem to mostly relate to PRISM and supporting operations, and mostly date from around 2008, supposedly not long after PRISM first reared its ugly head. One of the key things Anonymous has highlighted from the documents is the existence of an “intelligence-sharing network” that shares data gleaned from PRISM with “intelligence partners” around the world.

A Reign of Bureaucratic Terrorism – Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret.

Friday, June 7, 2013
 

 

 
 

by Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, Ret.

 
 
One has to acknowledge the cleverness of the socialist agents for state ownership of capital and industry and for tyrannical control over human endeavor, and one must also grant that these did in fact seize upon the war on terror to inauspiciously enable a bureaucratic tyranny that far exceeds any threat from external sources.

911 presented a golden opportunity for these adversaries of republicanism to focus the attention of the American people on phantom international causes so as to obscure and cover-up a domestic agenda that included a dismantlement of the Bill of Rights and an emplacement of central totalistic control in the place of constitutional governance.

Indeed one can imagine that these domestic agents of progressive reform consider the untold billions of dollars spent, and the lives expended, in the international chasing of apparitional guerillas through baron territories to be a small price to pay for the successful and final transition of the nation from states’ rights and participatory democracy to absolutism. It is with great astonishment that one comes to the realization that this transformation came about through, and with the complicity of, the political representatives that were elected by the people to protect their freedoms and to preserve them from government tyranny.

LIVING IN DARK DAYS

A dark and ominous specter hovers over this nation. The country currently meets the definition of a police state. Individualism and personal choice are suppressed and bureaucratic hooliganism is rampant. Subjective federal statutes rule over constitutional ensures, and the U.S. judicial system is rapidly being transformed into an arrangement of people’s courts similar to those of the former Soviet Union and the Third Reich. These increasingly jettison objectivity to affirm and enforce state authority over individual rights.

The U.S. Code – consisting of many thousands of arbitrary statutory laws – is an enemy of the people. These statutes are not laws they are mandates that are specifically adaptive to entrapment and control. One cannot get through a day without violating one or more of these so-called laws; they are all inclusive, intrusive, and invasive to every segment of day to day existence. They comprise a virtual web of controlling measures that enables containment of personal freedoms, and they were specifically drafted to that purpose. The U.S. Code as it exists separates the people from their inherent God-given liberties.

AL CAPONE WOULD HAVE BEEN ENVIOUS OF THE POWER AND IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION THAT GOVERNMENT AGENTS POSSESS

The Department of Justice has become a rat’s nest of sinister intrigue and malfeasance – indeed the Obama/Holder union and appurtenant minions have all the appearances of a crime consortium. Political Gangsterism runs like a thread through the Department of Justice and the malfeasance of the agencies and agents thereof runs the gamut of questionable – if not outright criminal activities; gun-running, subversion of justice, illegal hiring practices and perjury before congressional committees come immediately to mind.

That none have been prosecuted, censored, reprimanded or dismissed for such causes seems to convey the message that these miscreants are beyond any form of accountability or reproof for their blatant in your face infractions. Holder lies in the face of congressional committee members then gives them a virtual middle-finger when they call into question his prevarications. The U.S. Code contains a silly statute that makes it a crime for a citizen to lie to an F.B.I. agent, but the agents and officers of the various agencies within the Department of Justice seem to be able to lie to congressional investigators with impunity. There is something wrong with that scenario, don’t you think?

SATAN IS ALIVE AND WELL

“Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” -Job 1:6-7

This scripture brings to mind the days when my Dad who might suspect me of some chicanery of one kind or another would make a similar inquiry, to which he would invariably add, “And don’t you lie to me, bud.” It wasn’t necessary for God to add such an addendum to his query of Satan, certainly the omniscient Lord knew where Satan had been and what he had been up to. And if we have been in the spirit and paying attention so do we. The power and influence of the prince of darkness are clearly evident in the works of men.

The corruptness of our people, of our system, and of our leaders makes it exceedingly clear that Satan walks among us. He is indeed the god of this fallen world and the nations of it, including the United States. Every lie that is uttered, every crime that is committed, every inhumanity that is fostered, and injustice that is perpetrated bears witness to his presence among us. He is in fact the titular head of this nation, and the members of the three branches of government do his bidding.

If you love this nation and things of this world above the Lord the love of God is not in you; your corrupt bones will fall among the ashes when comes the fiery end.

If you believe: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” -Matthew 28:19-20

In 2006, Candidate Obama Blasted NSA Spying: No President Is Above The Law

Friday, June 7, 2013

 

In the video below from 2006 Obama says, even in these trying times President George Bush is not above the law, no President is above the law.

Obama goes on to say Americans fought a revolution in part over the right to be free from unreasonable searchers, to ensure our Government doesn’t come knocking in the middle of the night for no reason.We need a way to stop terrorist while protecting liberty of innocent Americans.

Since Obama took office it’s one scandal after another, time to impeach this dictator before it’s to late.Just recently Obama was telling college student ‘Reject These Voices’ That Warn of Big Government & Tyranny.This being said from the man, the back stabber that signed NDAA.I have news for you, Government is out of control and we are descending into tyranny so fast our heads are spinning.

Washinton Times.

In 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama criticized the nomination of U.S. Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, citing the controversial National Security Agency program for wiretapping Americans and collecting their phone records.

His full remarks below:

I have no doubt that General Hayden will be confirmed. But I am going to reluctantly vote against him to send a signal to this administration that even in these circumstances, even in these trying times, President Bush is not above the law. No President is above the law. I am voting against Mr. Hayden in the hope that he will be more humble before the great weight of responsibility that he has not only to protect our lives but to protect our democracy.

No, We Will Not Let it Go! Who Gave The Order To Stand Down?

Thursday, June 6, 2013

 

Imagine yourself trapped. A vicious gang of Islamist terrorists have already breached the main gate. If captured, you know what they do to infidels – you’ve seen video of beheadings, sodomy and etc.

 

Despite the smell of petroleum becoming overwhelming due to the terrorists setting the building on fire in an effort to force you out, you force yourself to remain calm and hopeful. You tell yourself, “Everything is going to be OK. I’m an American. We never leave Americans behind”.

 

But the Calvary never arrives to save you – not because they were not ready. The expected help never arrived because someone high in the Obama Administration, for political reasons, ordered our military to “stand down”.

 

Such was the horrific nightmare, U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens suffered in our consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Ambassador Stevens was killed by Islamist terrorists. Though not confirmed, it has been reported that our Ambassador Stevens was raped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0g8K9MyunGQ

Ambassador Stevens’ rescuers were ordered to “stand down”.

 

Imagine yourself a former Navy SEAL in Libya, aware of the terrorist attack on our consulate. You and your buddy, also a former SEAL, desire to fight the attackers until the Calvary arrives. You are ordered to “stand down”. But you are a former SEAL, you can not simply sit back and allow terrorists to murder Americans. You and your buddy disobey orders and come to the rescue.

 

Assuming that the Calvary in the form of air support is on the way because Americans are under attack and we never leave Americans behind, you use your laser to mark the enemy’s location. This will assist our guys in launching their aerial attack. But your assumption that help is on the way is wrong.

 

Our planes are not in the air because someone high in the Obama Administration, for political reasons, ordered our military to “stand down”. All your laser did was tip off your location to the Islamist terrorists. Former U.S. Navy SEALs Tony Smith and Glen Doherty were killed. Why? Because someone in the Obama Administration gave the order to “stand down”.

 

In their continuing effort to protect Obama at any and all cost – which includes national security and the lives of Americans, the mainstream media promotes the narrative that the American people do not understand or care about Benghazi. They attempt to brand everyone investigating Benghazi as partisan racists out to get the president.

 

While low-info Americans may not understand the politics, they can relate to the betrayal of being abandoned by ones country. Most Americans are aware of our tradition and ethical code of never leaving an American behind.

 

And yet, the mainstream media and the Obama Administration persist in their efforts to make it no big deal that our guys, Ambassador Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and information officer Sean Smith were left behind losing their lives for political reasons. The press and the Obama Administration would have us forget about it and move on.

 

If a republican were in the White House, the mainstream media would be investigative pit bulls, all over the Benghazi scandal “like white on rice”, as my late momma would say.

 

And yet, remarkably, several months after the attack on our consulate and the murder of four Americans, the mainstream media does not appear to have the slightest curiosity about who in the Obama Administration gave the order to our military to “stand down”. Despicable!

 

Stand down. Folks, I can not let it go. While Americans feared for their lives, waiting, hoping and expecting help, someone in the Obama Administration said, no, we are not going to send help.

 

The American press is a disgrace. Had they any self respect, they would be ashamed. Sadly, they have no shame. The American press has sold it’s soul to the devil. Journalism in America is dead.

 

While Obama’s protective mainstream media refuses to care, my fellow Americans and I care deeply and will discover, who in the Obama Administration gave the order to “stand down”?

Obama Attacks on Guns & Religion are Assaults on Freedom

Gun Rights Policies with John Snyder

Gun Rights Policies with John Snyder

Titusville, FL -“The Obama attacks on freedom of religion and on the right to keep and bear arms reflect the administration’s intolerance of individual freedom,” John M. Snyder said here today. He’s the senior rights activist in Washington, according to Shotgun News.

Snyder said, “The Obama assault on religious freedom is despicable. Its mandate to force people to act against their religious conscience in insurance payment for abortion is tyrannical.

“Let us support firmly the Fortnight for Freedom initiated by Catholic bishops in the United States to call attention to and hopefully reverse the administration’s mandate. The initiative, now in its second year, is a two week program of prayer and action concluding on the Fourth of July.”

Snyder stated that, “The assault on religion is like the assault on gun rights. The assaults come from the same sources, the freedom haters. These are people who believe that the state is superior to and determinative of individual freedom.

“The Catholic bishops should realize this. They should not let themselves be sucked foolishly into attacks on freedom, as some of them have in the past with their public support for restrictive gun control.”

“They should realize that promotion of abortion and promotion of gun control are two sides of the attack on life,” Snyder continued. “People own guns so they can protect their lives and others’ lives from criminal assault, as well as for other reasons. One hundred million Americans own 300 million rifles, shotguns and handguns. Over 10 million firearms are sold to citizens each year. Recent studies by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Pew Research Center reveal that as private firearms ownership increases, firearm-related homicide decreases.

“Anti-gun propaganda and emotionally-charged media attention to high-profile murders create a false impression. The truth is that relaxations of restrictions on gun carrying correlate with reductions of rates of murder and other violent crimes, as scholarly studies, such as those by Professor John Lott, have demonstrated. Generally, guns save lives.”

Snyder said, “Bishops who say they support a right to life and then turn around and support unreasonable restrictions on guns used to protect life render themselves subject to charges of rank hypocrisy. They risk causing suspicion about the church they supposedly serve and undermine evangelization efforts. They risk being characterized as ‘useful idiots’ for serving the agenda of the enemies of freedom, right to life and right to defend life.

“That is the epitome of stupidity.”
