Database Pulls On Obama-Family Social Security Number(s)

As reported here skip-tracer Al Hendershot said he would release his database pulls on the Obama crime family to be scrutinized.

BACKGROUND AUDIO:

 

DATABASE PULL EXCERPTS:

Via page 10: Between 1994 and 2007 the relatives of Barack H Obama listed below all shared the same SSN issued in DC during 1985- 1987. A separate SSN Verifier search was completed for each name associated with this particular SSN and the associated addresses and every result was the same. (They all used the same SSN) [...]

Via page 6: As per my findings the crime took place in 2000 when Henry G Obama usurped the SSN (Social Security Number) from Ms. Sobers.

It, the SSN then filtered down to:

For Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors

For Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors

Sunday, April 21, 2013
 

 

“The fundamental law is the foundation of our society.  In the United States of America, it is the U.S. Constitution.  Through this document, our fundamental rights are secured and protected against infringement by the federal government and by the State governments, because the States are also parties to this contract.”  Paul Andrew Mitchell, “The Federal Zone”

No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it. [16 Am. Jur. 2d, Section 177; later 2d, Section 256]

The tide is turning for America, foreign operatives fronting for global banking interests have been discovered and exposed in high positions of the federal and many State governments. These operatives have been involved in sedition and treason for many years, but only recently has the American public been made aware of this information.

The time has come to answer the question: do we have a government of men or a government of laws?

The Constitution for the United States of America is the highest law of the land, the Supreme law from which is derived all other law. For years and most extremely since 2001, the Supreme law of the land has been egregiously disregarded by rank and file members of the Federal House of Representatives and Senate, high ranking members of the Judiciary, the Presidents of the Government of the United States and a long list of State government “officials”, legislators, members of the judiciary and governors. These sworn up-holders of the Constitution have with impunity been guilty of wantonly violating the Supreme law of the land and their sworn oaths.

I believe the time is right now to call for arrests and resignations of a laundry list of traitors in the federal and State governments.  The time has come for a Nuremberg style trial on charges of sedition and treason for those actively supporting or calling for the end of the Constitution, the violation of the Second Amendment, the Fourth Amendment,  the Ninth and Tenth Amendments and others.

The list is long and it can begin with the resignation of Barack Obama and his staff, followed by the resignation of Eric Holder and his staff. Next any Senators and House members supporting restrictions and sanctions against citizens legally, under the Supreme law of the land, choosing to keep and bear arms in America, must be relieved of their duties and tried for treason.

After cleaning house in the federal government, investigations leading to arrests must be made in many States including New York, Maryland, California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Illinois, Colorado, Hawaii and several others.

Governors and legislators, signing and supporting restrictions and sanctions against those choosing to keep and bear arms, should be tried on charges of treason for knowingly advocating and actively attempting to over throw the Constitution (the Supreme law of the land) with acts violating the Second Amendment and others incorporate in State law and violations of oaths.

Authorizing and signing legislation and regulation Infringing the Second Amendment is an important criteria for grounds on charges of treason – because the Second Amendment is the fundamental physical restraint built into the Bill of Rights ensuring law abiding Americans have recourse to force – if, and when, foreign usurpers attempt to an overthrow of the governments of America. Attempting to restrict, curtain, or eliminate the application of the Second Amendment is clearly a means by which to provide Aid and Comfort to foreign usurpers. Supporting, legislation and regulation infringing the Second Amendment to the Constitution for the United States of America is a violation of Oath and an act of Treason.

There are also private groups and organizations seditiously supporting the overthrow of our Organic Constitutional government of the united States of America. Organizations hiding behind Orwellian mission statements, ostensibly serving the so-called public interest: fighting racial hatred and social injustice. However, these organizations only appear to champion the impoverished and disenfranchised; they are, in fact, using these people as cover for a larger agenda of collectivism, while actively seeking to replace the constitutional republics of the American States with systems of authoritarian controls.  These organizations are very well funded and have high level connections with members of State and Federal governments, they should be investigated, exposed and disbanded.

I think it is now time for all of us to speak to our remaining Constitution abiding government representatives, our Sheriffs and State and County level prosecuting attorneys and demand traitors be arrested and brought to trial.

The occupation and deconstruction of the American system of government and traditional way of life must end NOW.

Saudi report: Michelle O visited 'person of interest'

Saudi report: Michelle O visited 'person of interest'

Jeddah newspaper says first lady saw Alharbi in  hospital

 

Bob  Unruh
 
       
Michelle32

A Saudi Arabian newspaper is reporting that United States First Lady Michelle  Obama visited in the hospital Saudi citizen Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi  Alharbi, the young man who had been labeled a “person of interest” in the Boston  Marathon bombing.

The newspaper accompanied its report with an image of  Obama, although  the background was generic and it couldn’t be confirmed immediately that she was  at the hospital where Alharbi was being treated at the time. He reportedly  suffered injuries in the Boston bombing.

 

The  newspaper’s Arabic-language report is being highlighted by Walid Shoebat, a  former Muslim Brotherhood member who now is a peace activist.

“Okaz, the same prominent Saudi newspaper that published photos of Abdul  Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Alharbi in the hospital after the Boston Marathon  bombings, is now reporting that the Saudi national was also visited by the first  lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, during his hospital stay,” Shoebat  reported.

The newspaper is more than half a century old and publishes out of Jeddah in  Saudi Arabia. It also publishes simultaneously in Riyadh.

One of the oldest newspapers in Saudi Arabia, it also is brave, taking on  banned issues such as lesbianism in the repressive Islamic kingdom. Its  circulation is estimated at about 150,000 and the online version was reported by  Forbes Middle East two years ago to be one of the Top 10 online newspapers in  the Middle East region.

It  was CBS in Boston, and other outlets, that reported that President Obama and  Michelle visited some of the victims of the marathon terrorism at hospitals in  the Boston area yesterday.

It was reported the first lady went to Boston Children’s Hospital, as well as  Brigham and Women’s Hospital, but the visits were off-limits to the media.

See  the documentary that reveals the threat that is right in front of us – but below  the surface and hidden in plain sight, “Jihad in America: The Grand  Deception.”

Reported Shoebat, “There were multiple reports that Alharbi was hospitalized  at Brigham and Women’s so that would seem [to] corroborate the Okaz report.

“Okaz stated further that the first lady also visited the other injured Saudi  at the hospital, a female doctor named Nura Khalid Saleh al-Ajaji.”

Shoebat said there also were tweets from members of the Alharbi  family that added “credibility” to the report.

Reported Shoebat, “Now, contrarians … with concerns about this visit will  likely say that the first lady was simply paying visits to all the victims in  the hospital, of which Alharbi was one and had been cleared two days  earlier.”

But he added, “In light of recent reports that Alharbi was scheduled for  deportation on ‘national security grounds’, the first lady’s visit takes on much  added significance if those reports are true. We already know that the Alharbi  clan consists of multiple al-Qaida members. This would seem to bolster the  claims of scheduled deportation, not claims to the contrary made by the likes of  DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, who actually never really answered the question;  she just got rankled and blew it off.”

Wrote Shoebat, “With the track record of this administration relative to  things like blaming a video for two weeks after the Benghazi attacks, it should  have a higher standard to meet and its credibility should be questioned by the  American people. If these reports about Alharbi’s scheduled deportation for such  reasons are correct, a visit by the first lady of the United States would indeed  be significant in its importance. It would also be a major national security  blunder because of the message it would send.”

WND reported earlier when an expert on terrorism said Alharbi, the original  “person of interest” in the Monday bombing, was going to be deported on national  security grounds.

Alharbi is a foreign student, and had been living in Revere, Mass.

“I just learned from my own sources that he is now going to be deported on  national security grounds next Tuesday, which is very unusual,” Steve Emerson of  the Investigative  Project on Terrorism told Sean Hannity of Fox News Wednesday night.

The Reuters news agency reported Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud  al-Faisal on Wednesday, noting “the meeting was not on Obama’s public  schedule.”

After that meeting was mentioned, Emerson told Hannity, “That’s very  interesting because this is the way things are done with Saudi Arabia. You don’t  arrest their citizens. You deport them, because they don’t want them to be  embarrassed and that’s the way we appease them.”

Saudi national Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the original  "person of interest" questioned in the Boston Marathon bombings.

Meanwhile, Tuesday morning, a meeting Secretary of State John Kerry held with  the Saudi foreign minister was abruptly closed to press coverage.

WND had  reported Wednesday morning that the Saudi student Alharbi shares the same  last name as a major Saudi clan that includes scores of al-Qaida operatives.

Some in the clan are senior al-Qaida members while others are reportedly  being held by the U.S. in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba.

A large group of federal and state law enforcement agents reportedly raided  Alharbi’s apartment in Revere, Mass.

CNN reported the search took place by consent, according to a federal  law-enforcement source, meaning no search warrant was needed

Then the Saudi embassy in Washington said Alharbi was no longer under  detention and is not a suspect in the bomb blasts.

Saudi diplomat Azzam bin Abdel Karim reportedly visited Alharbi in the  hospital.

Nail Al-Jubeir, a spokesman for the Saudi mission in Washington, stated that  U.S. authorities told the embassy “no Saudi national was a suspect in the Boston  Marathon attack and that the Saudi national in question was a witness, not a  suspect.”

While it is not clear whether the Alharbi questioned as part of the marathon  probe is a member of the well-known Saudi clan, his Facebook page, reviewed by  WND, lists him as Facebook friends with at least seven other Alharbis, located  in both Boston and in Saudi Arabia.

One of the Alharbis on his Facebook friends list, Ahmed Alharbi, is listed as  a pharmacy technician at the Saudi Ministry of Health. Most others live in  Riyadh.

The Alharbi clan has long been active in al-Qaida. Khaled bin Ouda bin  Mohammed al-Harbi, for example, is a Saudi national who joined Osama bin Laden’s  mujahadeen group in the 1980s. He reportedly became an al-Qaida member in the  mid-1990s. He turned himself in to Saudi authorities in 2004 as part of an  amnesty deal.

The BBC  reported Khaled Alharbi was married to the daughter of al-Qaida’s number  two, Ayman al-Zawahiri. He reportedly appeared with bin Laden in a video  praising the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Another top al-Qaida operative is Adel Radi Saqr al-Wahabi al-Harbi, a Saudi  national identified by the State Department as “a key member of an al-Qaida  network operating in Iran.”

The  State Department has offered a multimillion-dollar reward for the capture of  Abdel Alharbi, saying he is an Iran-based al-Qaida facilitator who serves as the  deputy to Muhsin al-Fadhl, who runs al-Qaida’s Iran network.

On  his website, Shoebat translated a list of the Saudi government’s 85 wanted  al-Qaida members.

The list includes several members of the Alharbi clan:

  • Badr Saud Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
  • Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awufi Al-Harbi
  • Khalid Salim Uwaid Al-Lahibi Al-Harbi
  • Raed Abdullah Salem Al-Thahiri Al-Harbi
  • Abdullah Abdul Rahman Muhammad Al-Harbi (leader)
  • Fayez Ghuneim Humeid Al-Hijri Al-Harbi

Shoebat also points out that several Alharbi clan members are being held by  the U.S. government at Guantanamo Bay, including Salim Salman Awadallah Al-Saidi  Al-Harbi, Majid Abdullah Hussein Al-Harbi, Muhammad Abdullah Saqr Al-Alawi  Al-Harbi, Ghanem Abdul Rahman Ghanem Al-Harbi and Muhammad Atiq Uwaid Al-Awfi  Al-Harbi.

Shoebat  also reported Al-Harbi’s visa was up for revocation and his deportation was  imminent.

He  also reported that according to a YouTube channel used by Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one  of the two Chechen Muslims blamed for the bombing, Alharbi admired Shaykh Feiz  Mohammed, an Australian Mulsim preacher who is noted for his fundamentalist  Islamist beliefs.

Is Obama Covering For Boston Suspect? Terror In Boston – Saudi Being Deported For 'National Security

Is Obama Covering For Boston Suspect? Terror In Boston – Saudi Being Deported For ‘National Security Reasons’

Wednesday, April 17, 2013
 

 

In an incident that immediately reminds us of the Bush administration flying the Bin Laden family out of America after the attacks on 9/11, Barack Obama has inexplicably decided to deport the Saudi Arabian who had been held in Boston over the Boston Marathon bombings BACK to Saudi Arabia, for ‘national security’ reasons. This move comes only hours after Obama’s unscheduled meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, supposedly to discuss the ongoing conflict in Syria earlier Wednesday. This shocking ‘curveball’ comes in at the 4 minute 55 second mark in the Hannity video below. 

US President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday and discussed the conflict in Syria, a spokeswoman said.

The meeting was not on Obama’s public schedule.

The spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, said the president joined a meeting between the Saudi official and Obama’s national security adviser, Tom Donilon.

Sandy Hook Orchestrated by Obama WH?

Sandy Hook Orchestrated by Obama WH?

April 17, 2013

"The powers in total control of this event were "Washington, D.C." and the "Justice Department." Noted [veteran news reporter for Hartford Courant,] David Owens, 'local police of Newtown and State Police' are not  responsible for any discrepancies or errors in the reporting. That all  came from federal sources (direct communication). That means that the  entire event was orchestrated by the Obama White House."
(Editor's Note: I am not in a position to verify these claims. However this scenario seems plausible.)

Sandy Hook - What is Known for Sure

Source: www.nodisinfo.com

The following is a summary of what is definitively known regarding Sandy  Hook. In other words, this is information that is incontestable.   All  that is said, here, is easy to prove. Let anyone prove it wrong.   Regardless, these facts will prove that Sandy Hook was a fraud  perpetrated by elements hostile to the American people.

One purpose of  this fraud or scam is to orchestrate new laws for gun control and  confiscation. Other reasons are to create increased control and  oppression over the American people. The irrefutable facts about Sandy  Hook or what might more appropriately be called the Sandy Hook Hoax are  as follows:

The common pictures of Adam Lanza, where the whites of his eyes are showing, are not real. Those pictures have been altered through Photoshop. The evidence for this is found on the Website, nodisinfo.com. The proof for this is irrefutable. His face was altered to make him appear menacing.

Gene Rosen is an actor known to play out skits about children. Rosen was caught practicing his lines well before the time of the claim for a shooting. He was the man who  said he took six children into protection in his house in the midst of  the crisis. This is not true. He can be seen practicing these very lines via overhead camera (via helicopter) in the morning of Dec. 14 sometime before 10:00 a.m. He can also be seen interacting with a TV producer at this time. Also, as has been confirmed by a direct communication, Rosen is a producer on local community TV, CTV. Furthermore, while Rosen was  being interviewed by CBS a solar-powered sign could be seen behind him,  ordering all actors to "sign in" before entering the secure area.

Chris and Lynn McDonnell, the supposed parents of the deceased Grace McDonnell, are not real parents and instead are actors. They can be found on network film and also via overhead camera near the firehouse performing their acting skits, often with TV producers in  close proximity. This is also indisputable, and there are  several examples where they can be seen acting out fake grief, as well  as shock, while also being instructed by these producers. Some of the  instructions are audible, including one command to start/conclude the  act, the producer saying, "OK."

Grace McDonnell, who was supposed to have died in Sandy Hook, is not a real child. Instead, she is a pure and undeniable creation of Photoshop, the proof of which is found on nodisinfo.com. There was/is no person by this name living in the Newtown/Sandy Hook  area or, in fact, anywhere in Connecticut. Thus, the claim that this  child died in a school-yard massacre is a categorical lie, simply due to the fact that such a person doesn't exist.

Donna Soto is not a grieving mother of the purportedly dead teacher, Victoria Soto.  Instead, she is an employee of the Department of Homeland Security  (DHS). Soto, a paid actor, was caught in the act via news footage, where she was filmed standing next to the side of the firehouse on Dec. 14  sometime before 3:o0 p.m. with a taxpayer-supplied DHS water bottle in  her sweatshirt, checking her text messages. Prior to this she was seen  acting out grief with purported son Carlos Mathew Soto, where she was  surrounded by two TV producers. The fact that these were TV producer is  beyond doubt and has been confirmed by news film.

(l.Vicki. Pics of Donna nowhere to be found)

 

A TV producer, name unknown, who was assisting Donna Soto in her fabricated grieving  act, was caught on film faking grief herself near the corner of the  firehouse, in the mid-afternoon, exact time unknown. The fact that she  is Soto's TV handler is proven by the clothing she wore and her style of purse in her possession when she was instructing Soto.

Robbie Parker, the supposed father of a murdered girl, Emilie Parker, was caught smiling in glee just before doing his CNN interview, while also asking if he should read  from the script or speak spontaneously. Just prior to his interview  Parker was seen "getting into character" by taking bizarre-appearing  deep breaths and dramatically changing his facial expression. During  this time instructors and handlers can be seen instructing and guiding  him. A photo is available showing Parker holding in his hands the  script.

The deceased school principal Dawn Hochsprung, below, springs back to life in Boston.

 

 

 

 

 

Dawn Hochsprung called the Newtown Bee on Dec. 14, about 10:00 or so a.m., saying that there was a shooting at the school. The official reports have her dead by that time and the shooting  already over. When questioned about this, the Bee originally confirmed  that this call was made by Hochsprung, saying, essentially, "Well, we  know her."

Krista and Rich Rekos were caught posing before cameras early during the day on Dec. 14, like the McDonnells,  right at the corner of the firehouse. When before the camera, Krista  Rekos suddenly put on a display, acting as if she was in shock.

A school psychologist by the name of Mary Sherlach does not exist as an actual employee at Sandy Hook Elementary School. There is no licence for such a person and instead, suspiciously, her licence was issued  only in 2013. The woman pictured as Mary Sherlach has been identified as  Jane Vogel Brickell and, thus, Mary Sherlach is an  alias. Ms. Brickell has been determined to be alive and well, living in  New York. Morever, this individual is not disputing this finding,  because she knows it to be true.

In two different CNN interviews actual actors using aliases from an entirely different state were uncovered. Posing as Nick and Laura Phelps, the real names for these actors are Richard Sexton and Jennifer Greenberg-Sexton, who are residents of Florida. Their role was to act as begrieved  friends of Dawn Hochsprung, while also claiming to be parents of Sandy  Hook grade-schoolers. In real life these individuals are in not parents  of any Sandy Hook children. In fact, their children live in Florida and  were formerly students of Gotha High School. In other words, the people  posing as the Phelps' do not have grade-school-aged children, their  daughters being in their teens. Thus, everything that these two actors  said on CNN was a lie.

The oft-seen picture of children being led out of the school by an official-looking woman in a blue jacket is not from Dec. 14,  2012. Rather, it is  from Oct. 17, 2012, a fact which has now been fully confirmed. So, when it was said by the media that "A horrific shooting  Friday morning at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown," while this  is combined with the picture, this is an attempt to scare and intimidate people into believing in the official story by creating the impression  of frightened children being led out of the school, when this really  never occurred.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other elements of the federal government were swarming all over the Sandy Hook region and were fully in place before the time of the  acclaimed shooting. DHS agents were seen driving  their black antennae-equipped vehicles by precise eyewitnesses as early as 8:30 a.m., well before the time  published for any attack. The black and other dark-colored government  vehicles were seen racing about with serious-looking men inside by local Sandy Hook residents.

According to veteran news reporter for criminal events, David Owens, the entire operation of Sandy Hook was controlled from the beginning,  early on Friday morning. The powers in total control of this event were "Washington, D.C." and the "Justice Department." Noted Owens, 'local police of Newtown and State Police' are not  responsible for any discrepancies or errors in the reporting. That all  came from federal sources (direct communication). That means that the  entire event was orchestrated by the Obama White House.

A first installment in a series. Idea thanks to a nodisinfo.com reader. She has advised people to hand this simple sheet out and also post it, where appropriate.

BREAKING, AWESOME: Background Checks Bill Goes Down In Flames As Kelly Ayotte Says She Will Vote 'No

BREAKING, AWESOME: Background Checks Bill Goes Down In Flames As Kelly Ayotte Says She Will Vote ‘No’, Leaving Total Tally At 59-41

Wednesday, April 17, 2013
 

 

Excerpted from TPM: Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) said Wednesday that she will oppose a Senate deal proposing to expand background checks on the purchases of firearms known as the Manchin-Toomey admendment.

“I believe that restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners will not prevent a deranged individual or criminal from obtaining and misusing firearms to commit violence,” she said in a statement. “While steps must be taken to improve the existing background check system, I will not support the Manchin-Toomey legislation, which I believe would place unnecessary burdens on law-abiding gun owners and allow for potential overreach by the federal government into private gun sales.”

Ayotte’s opposition leaves the amendment short of the required 60 votes for passage, unless a senator reverses their position prior to the vote on the floor at 4pm ET today

Cruz Cites Supreme Court Blocks Of Federal Power Grab

Cruz Cites Supreme Court Blocks Of Federal Power Grab

 
 

 

[Ed. Note: Republished from Fox News Latino, Published April 09, 2013, "Ted Cruz Calls Out Obama's Attempt to Expand Federal Power."]

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday that the Obama administration “knows virtually no bounds” in its push to continue to expand the role of federal government.

From interfering with a church’s selection of its own ministers to attaching GPS’s to vehicles without having any cause, Cruz’s report gives six examples in which the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously rejected the Obama administration’s attempts to increase the power of the federal government.

Cruz, 47, has made a habit of making national headlines in his first four months in office and has gained the reputation as a stubborn, yet steadfast, Republican voice in the Democrat-controlled senate.

Democrats have characterized his style to McCarthyism. He voted against the Hurricane Sandy relief bill and has vigorously challenged the nomination of Chuck Hagel for Secretary of Defense.

Below are the six examples noted in the Cruz report in which the U.S. Supreme Court denied attempts by the Obama administration to expand federal government power.

• Attach GPSs to a citizen’s vehicle to monitor his movements, without having any cause to believe that a person has committed a crime (United States v. Jones); • Deprive landowners of the right to challenge potential government fines as high as $75,000 per day and take away their ability have a hearing to challenge those fines (Sackett v. EPA); • Interfere with a church’s selection of its own ministers. (Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church & School v. EEOC); • Override state law whenever the President desires. (Arizona v. United States); • Dramatically extend statutes of limitations to impose penalties for acts committed decades ago. (Gabelli v. SEC); and • Destroy private property without paying just compensation. (Arkansas Fish & Game Commission v. United States).

Cruz spoke about his outspoken role in the senate at an Austin Chamber of Commerce luncheon last week.

“Washington is a curious place,” Cruz said, “They are very, very surprised when you go there and actually do what you said you were going to do.”

A Tea Party favorite, Cruz’s attacks on the role of federal government are lock and step with the conservative principles he’s touted on the campaign trail.

Cruz said he was willing to work with the Obama administration on plans to reduce government spending and budget deficits and reform the federal tax code.

We Forget: The Strength Of The Nation Is In Our Hands– Don't Let The Fascists Convince You That They

We Forget: The Strength Of The Nation Is In Our Hands– Don’t Let The Fascists Convince You That They Are Invulnerable

 

 

The Strength of Butterflies is in Their Wings

By Marcello Rollando  by Marcello Rollando

 

Remember this weekend marks four months since America was weakened by massacre. 

 

Remember members of Congress confess, with a mouse click online petitions are discarded as weak, but like the strength of butterfly wings, “one person face-to-face in their office, is one thousand votes.’

Remember more than pleasing NRA or congressional leadership, or dictates from Wall Street dictators; more than what constituents think best; doing what’s right for the country, or preserving, protecting and defending the equality and justice of all Americans, the number one agenda of any member of Congress, regardless of Party is:  to get re-elected.

Remember, to save other mothers and fathers from the sin of slaughter, Newtown parents bear the cross of their children’s death to a Hill faraway, so all see in their post Sandy Hook faces, the reflection of a corrupted Constitutional interpretation for blood and guts profit.

Remember our “Free Will” frees us to define “Land of the Free” as freedom to look the other way while in neighborhood streets, movie theatres, parking lots and schools, Americans of all ages are gun downed with military style super-sized multi-magazine assault weapons, or find the courage to go to “The Hill’ for a face-to-face that reminds Congress the civilized response to Cain is, the Second Amendment is not a license to kill.

Every parent, teacher or friend of someone whose life ended violently, deserves the freedom to be angry and left alone to grieve, or to carpool to State capitals and Congress and make leaders look into our national mirror at the reflection of their impotency in the face of corporate profit, immorality, greed, lies and violence. 

We are not born courageous, brave or without fear, but life sometimes thrusts crushing challenges on us to rise or fall before.  There is little fearlessness, only “feeling the fear and doing it anyway,” like “Mayors against illegal guns” and Connecticut’s “massacre control.” 

While “Mission Accomplished” profanes our national acclaim as “The Home of the Brave,” when we accept our national emergency as no more economic than it is educational and moral, solutions will reveal themselves. 

For this we need not be brave by choice, but open to being courageous out of necessity, for then the seemingly powerless become the mirrors in which the powerful see their Dorian Gray reflections. MOREHERE

DHS Advising Local PD's of General Economic Collapse by the end of April.

DHS Advising Local PD’s of General Economic Collapse by the end of April.

Thursday, April 11, 2013

 

The source for this was an officer at the briefing. The police department was located in the Midwest and the city has a population of around 300,000.

 

DHS advised select PD brass that they were expecting a total economic collapse as early as the end of April. They suggested departments stock up on supplies, including that individual officers keep supplies of non-perishable foods should the need arise.

 

The officer also mentioned that a firearms confiscation protocol would be used and BATFE would assist via dissemination of ATF form 3310.4 data as well other info gathered from gun show surveillance.

 

The officer was previously clueless to any of this and is basically just your typical PD bureaucrat. He was surprised that these instructions were being issued.

 

I, however, am not surprised. Even a cursory look at U.S. and world economic data, as well as the fact that a chunk of the world's billionaires are dumpimg blue chip stocks such as P&G, tells me we are toast economically. Looks like DHS is finally getting ready for SHTF day in earnest.

Obama sending weapons to Somalia while disarming Americans, say critics

On the same day President Barack Obama kicked off his week of gun control campaigning in Connecticut, in hopes of passing new gun laws affecting American citizens, Obama on Monday approved the providing of arms to Somalia in order for the African nation's government to more effectively fight Al-Shabaab terrorist, according to reports.

The White House announced that theCommander in Chief signed a presidential determination allowing for "the furnishing of defense articles and defense services" to Somalia, saying the move will "strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace."

"This administration is intent on incrementally disarming Americans while at the same funneling arms that regularly find their way into the hands of terrorists and insurgents eager to kill Americans overseas," notes former police training officer Kelly Laughlin.

"There are reports that strongly suggest the arms given to Libyan rebels in their fight against a dictator are now being found in the hands of rebels in Syria, many of whom are members of Islamic terrorist organizations," said Laughlin.

Secretary of State John Kerry is being given the responsibility of deciding what weapons and equipment will be offered for use by the Somali security forces.

With the help of military resources, including troops, from the African Union, the Somali military officials claim they drove the al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Shabaab out of Somalia's major cities in recent months, and in January the Obama White House officially recognized the new government led by President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, the first permanent central government in the nation since the start of the Somali civil war in 1991.

However, according to U.S. intelligence analysts, Al-Shabaab terrorists stormed the southern town of Hudur following the withdrawal of Ethiopian and Somali government troops. In addition, Al-Shabaab terrorists have entered other African nations in the region and perpetrated terrorist acts including suicide bombings, grenade attacks and cop-killings.

The UN Security Council adopted a resolution last month lifting the arms embargo on Somalia put in place since 1992, in an effort to strengthen forces against the Al-Shabaab fighters. The resolution doesn't include large-scale weapons like surface-to-air missiles, heavy artillery, and landmines.

Critics of the arming of Somali forces point to the current problems occurring in Libya where weapons caches are being sold to other nations and paramilitary groups.

For example, according to a Fox News Channel report, "the weapons that helped Libyan rebels oust dictator Muammar Qaddafi are turning up for sale at clandestine auctions in Egypt’s lawless Sinai Desert, where shadowy buyers purchase firearms for Al Qaeda and Hamas operatives."

U.N. report covers up Obama role in arming terrorists

U.N. report covers up Obama role in arming terrorists

Bombshell revelations show how secret administration policy is  fueling conflicts

 

       
libya-rebels

JERUSALEM – Questions remain about the Obama administration’s role in  supplying arms to Libyan rebels as a United Nations report released this week  reveals the weapons from Libya to extremists proliferating at an “alarming  rate,” fueling conflicts in Mali, Syria, Gaza and elsewhere.

During the fight against Moammar Gadhafi’s regime in 2011, it was widely  reported the Obama administration coordinated foreign arms shipments via cut  outs to the Libyan rebels.

 

In December 2012, the New York Times reported that after discussions among  members of the National Security Council, the Obama administration backed arms  shipments to Libyan rebels from both Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

American officials told the Times that the UAE first approached the Obama  administration during the early months of the Libyan uprising, asking for  permission to ship American-built weapons that the U.S. had supplied for the  emirates’ use.

The administration rejected the request to ship U.S. weapons, instead urging  the emirates to ship foreign weapons to Libya that could not be traced to the  U.S., the Times reported.

“The U.A.E. was asking for clearance to send U.S. weapons,” one former U.S.  official told the Times. “We told them it’s O.K. to ship other weapons.”

The Times further reported in 2012 the White House “secretly gave its  blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year, but American  officials later grew alarmed as evidence grew that Qatar was turning some of the  weapons over to Islamic militants, according to United States officials and  foreign diplomats.”

There is more evidence of the Obama administration OKing arms to Libyan  rebels. In March 2011, Reuters broke the story that Obama had signed a secret  order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to  oust Gadhafi, quoting U.S. government officials.

Reuters noted the order was a principal form of presidential directive used  to authorize secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency.

That same month the U.K. Independent reported that “the Americans have asked  Saudi Arabia if it can supply weapons to the rebels in Benghazi.”

Now the United Nations reports weapons initially sent to Benghazi are  spreading from Libya at an “alarming rate,” fueling conflicts in Mali, Syria and  beyond.

The report by the U.N. Security Council’s Group of Experts said the North  African state had become a key source of weapons transfers in the region,  specifically blaming Qatar and the UAE for arming the rebels.

While not referencing the U.S. support for the arms transfers, the U.N.  experts said they had found that Qatar and the UAE had breached the arms embargo  on Libya during the 2011 uprising by arming the rebels.

The experts said Qatar had denied the accusation, while the United Arab  Emirates had not responded.

“Some 18 months after the end of the conflict, some of this materiel remains  under the control of non-state actors within Libya and has been found in  seizures of military material being trafficked out of Libya,” according to the  report.

The U.N. cites cases, both proven and under investigation, of illicit  transfers from Libya to more than 12 countries and also to terror and criminal  groups, including heavy and light weapons, man-portable air defense systems,  small arms and related ammunition and explosives and mines.

Benghazi-gate

Reuters reported the U.N. experts who penned this week’s report said  transfers of arms to Syrian rebels had been organized from various locations in  Libya, including Misurata and Benghazi, via Turkey or northern Lebanon.

“The significant size of some shipments and the logistics involved suggest  that representatives of the Libyan local authorities might have at least been  aware of the transfers, if not actually directly involved,” the experts  said.

Confirming WND’s exclusive reporting for over a year, the  New York Times last month reported that since early 2012, the CIA has been  aiding Arab governments and Turkey in obtaining and shipping weapons to the  Syrian rebels.

While the Times report claims most of the weapons shipments facilitated by  the CIA began after the latest presidential election, Middle Eastern security  officials speaking to WND have said U.S.-aided weapons shipments go back more  than a year, escalating before the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. facilities  in Benghazi.

In fact, the Middle Eastern security officials speaking to WND since last  year describe the U.S. mission in Benghazi and nearby CIA annex attacked last  September as an intelligence and planning center for U.S. aid to the rebels in  the Middle East, particularly those fighting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s  regime.

The aid, the sources stated, included weapons shipments and was being  coordinated with Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Days after the Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher  Stevens, WND  broke the story that Stevens himself played a central role in recruiting  jihadists to fight Assad’s regime in Syria, according to Egyptian and other  Middle Eastern security officials.

Stevens served as a key contact with the Saudis to coordinate the recruitment  by Saudi Arabia of Islamic fighters from North Africa and Libya. The jihadists  were sent to Syria via Turkey to attack Assad’s forces, said the security  officials.

The officials said Stevens also worked with the Saudis to send names of  potential jihadi recruits to U.S. security organizations for review. Names found  to be directly involved in previous attacks against the U.S., including in Iraq  and Afghanistan, were ultimately not recruited by the Saudis to fight in Syria,  said the officials.

Last month’s New York Times article has bolstered WND’s reporting, citing air  traffic data, interviews with officials in several countries and the accounts of  rebel commanders describing how the CIA has been working with Arab governments  and Turkey to sharply increase arms shipments to Syrian rebels in recent  months.

The Times reported that the weapons airlifts began on a small scale in early  2012 and continued intermittently through last fall, expanding into a steady and  much heavier flow late last year, the data shows.

The Times further revealed that from offices at “secret locations,” American  intelligence officers have helped the Arab governments shop for weapons,  including a large procurement from Croatia. They have vetted rebel commanders  and groups to determine who should receive the weapons as they arrive.

The CIA declined to comment to the Times on the shipments or its role in  them.

The Times quoted a former American official as saying that David H. Petraeus,  the CIA director until November, had been instrumental in helping set up an  aviation network to fly in the weapons. The paper said Petraeus had prodded  various countries to work together on the plan.

Petraeus did not return multiple emails from the Times asking for  comment.

Both WND’s reporting, which first revealed the U.S.-coordinated arms  shipments, and the Times reporting starkly contrast with statements from top  U.S. officials who have denied aiding the supply of weapons to the rebels.

In February, the White House flatly denied involvement in arming the Syrian  rebels, going so far as to say the Obama administration rejected a plan by  former Secretary of State Clinton and then-CIA Director Petraeus to help arm the  rebels.

46 Senators Willing to Trash 2nd Amendment, Surrender Sovereignty to UN

46 Senators Willing to Trash 2nd Amendment, Surrender Sovereignty to UN

Thursday, April 11, 2013
 

 

Chucky Schumer, one of the worst

The Senate Marxist Mafia identified.

Subject: LIST OF TRAITORS

Please sure all your friends in every State see these names. The vote and the bill is a matter of public record.
Over the weekend, we came four votes away from the United States Senate giving our Constitutional rights over to the United Nations. In a 53-46 vote, the senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The Statement of Purpose from the bill read:
"To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty."
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S., and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry on all private guns and ammo.
Astonishingly, 46 of our United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.

from Senate records- a nay indicates unwillingness to stop the unconstitutional UN treaty:

The Tunnel People That Live Under The Streets Of America

The Tunnel People That Live Under The Streets Of America

By Michael  

The Tunnel People That Live Under The Streets Of America - Photo by Claude Le Berre

             Did you know that there are thousands upon thousands of homeless people that are living underground beneath the streets of major U.S. cities?  It is happening in Las Vegas, it is happening in New York City and it is even happening in Kansas City.  As the economy crumbles, poverty in the United States is absolutely exploding and so is homelessness.  In addition to the thousands of "tunnel people" living under the streets of America, there are also thousands that are living in tent cities, there are tens of thousands that are living in their vehicles and there are more than a million public school children that do not have a home to go back to at night.  The federal government tells us that the recession "is over" and that "things are getting better", and yet poverty and homelessness in this country continue to rise with no end in sight.  So what in the world are things going to look like when the next economic crisis hits?

When I heard that there were homeless people living in a network of underground tunnels beneath the streets of Kansas City, I was absolutely stunned.  I have relatives that live in that area.  I never thought of Kansas City as one of the more troubled cities in the United States.

But according to the Daily Mail, police recently discovered a network of tunnels under the city that people had been living in...

Below the streets of Kansas City, there are deep underground tunnels where a group of vagrant homeless people lived in camps.

These so-called homeless camps have now been uncovered by the Kansas City Police, who then evicted the residents because of the unsafe environment.

Authorities said these people were living in squalor, with piles of garbage and dirty diapers left around wooded areas.

The saddest part is the fact that authorities found dirty diapers in the areas near these tunnels.  That must mean that babies were being raised in that kind of an environment.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing is happening all over the nation.  In recent years, the tunnel people of Las Vegas have received quite a bit of publicity all over the world.  It has been estimated that more than 1,000 people live in the massive network of flood tunnels under the city...

Deep beneath Vegas’s glittering lights lies a sinister labyrinth inhabited by poisonous spiders and a man nicknamed The Troll who wields an iron bar.

But astonishingly, the 200 miles of flood tunnels are also home to 1,000 people who eke out a living in the strip’s dark underbelly.

Some, like Steven and his girlfriend Kathryn, have furnished their home with considerable care - their 400sq ft 'bungalow' boasts a double bed, a wardrobe and even a bookshelf.

Could you imagine living like that?  Sadly, for an increasing number of Americans a "normal lifestyle" is no longer an option.  Either they have to go to the homeless shelters or they have to try to eke out an existence on their own any way that they can.

In New York City, authorities are constantly trying to root out the people that live in the tunnels under the city and yet they never seem to be able to find them all.  The following is from a New York Post article about the "Mole People" that live underneath New York City...

The homeless people who live down here are called Mole People. They do not, as many believe, exist in a separate, organized underground society. It's more of a solitary existence and loose-knit community of secretive, hard-luck individuals.

The New York Post followed one homeless man known as "John Travolta" on a tour through the underground world.  What they discovered was a world that is very much different from what most New Yorkers experience...

In the tunnels, their world is one of malt liquor, tight spaces, schizophrenic neighbors, hunger and spells of heat and cold. Travolta and the others eat fairly well, living on a regimented schedule of restaurant leftovers, dumped each night at different times around the neighborhood above his foreboding home.

Even as the Dow hits record high after record high, poverty in New York City continues to rise at a very frightening pace.  Incredibly, the number of homeless people sleeping in the homeless shelters of New York City has increased by a whopping 19 percent over the past year.

In many of our major cities, the homeless shelters are already at maximum capacity and are absolutely packed night after night.  Large numbers of homeless people are often left to fend for themselves.

That is one reason why we have seen the rise of so many tent cities.

Yes, the tent cities are still there, they just aren't getting as much attention these days because they do not fit in with the "economic recovery" narrative that the mainstream media is currently pushing.

In fact, many of the tent cities are larger than ever.  For example, you can check out a Reuters video about a growing tent city in New Jersey that was posted on YouTube at the end of March right here.  A lot of these tent cities have now become permanent fixtures, and unfortunately they will probably become much larger when the next major economic crisis strikes.

But perhaps the saddest part of all of this is the massive number of children that are suffering night after night.

For the first time ever, more than a million public school children in the United States are homeless.  That number has risen by 57 percent since the 2006-2007 school year.

So if things are really "getting better", then why in the world do we have more than a million public school children without homes?

These days a lot of families that have lost their homes have ended up living in their vehicles.  The following is an excerpt from a 60 Minutes interview with one family that is living in their truck...

This is the home of the Metzger family. Arielle,15. Her brother Austin, 13. Their mother died when they were very young. Their dad, Tom, is a carpenter. And, he's been looking for work ever since Florida's construction industry collapsed. When foreclosure took their house, he bought the truck on Craigslist with his last thousand dollars. Tom's a little camera shy - thought we ought to talk to the kids - and it didn't take long to see why.

Pelley: How long have you been living in this truck?

Arielle Metzger: About five months.

Pelley: What's that like?

Arielle Metzger: It's an adventure.

Austin Metzger: That's how we see it.

Pelley: When kids at school ask you where you live, what do you tell 'em?

Austin Metzger: When they see the truck they ask me if I live in it, and when I hesitate they kinda realize. And they say they won't tell anybody.

Arielle Metzger: Yeah it's not really that much an embarrassment. I mean, it's only life. You do what you need to do, right?

But after watching a news report or reading something on the Internet about these people we rapidly forget about them because they are not a part of "our world".

Another place where a lot of poor people end up is in prison.  In a previous article, I detailed how the prison population in the United States has been booming in recent years.  If you can believe it, the United States now has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has about 5 percent of the total global population.

And these days it is not just violent criminals that get thrown into prison.  If you lose your job and get behind on your bills, you could be thrown into prison as well.  The following is from a recent CBS News article...

Roughly a third of U.S. states today jail people for not paying off their debts, from court-related fines and fees to credit card and car loans, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. Such practices contravene a 1983 United States Supreme Court ruling that they violate the Constitutions's Equal Protection Clause.

Some states apply "poverty penalties," such as late fees, payment plan fees and interest, when people are unable to pay all their debts at once. Alabama charges a 30 percent collection fee, for instance, while Florida allows private debt collectors to add a 40 percent surcharge on the original debt. Some Florida counties also use so-called collection courts, where debtors can be jailed but have no right to a public defender. In North Carolina, people are charged for using a public defender, so poor defendants who can't afford such costs may be forced to forgo legal counsel.

The high rates of unemployment and government fiscal shortfalls that followed the housing crash have increased the use of debtors' prisons, as states look for ways to replenish their coffers. Said Chettiar, "It's like drawing blood from a stone. States are trying to increase their revenue on the backs of the poor."

If you are poor, the United States can be an incredibly cold and cruel place.  Mercy and compassion are in very short supply.

The middle class continues to shrink and poverty continues to grow with each passing year.  According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately one out of every six Americans is now living in poverty.  And if you throw in those that are considered to be "near poverty", that number becomes much larger.  According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 146 million Americans are either "poor" or "low income".

For many more facts about the rapid increase of poverty in this country, please see my previous article entitled "21 Statistics About The Explosive Growth Of Poverty In America That Everyone Should Know".

But even as poverty grows, it seems like the hearts of those that still do have money are getting colder.  Just check out what happened recently at a grocery store that was in the process of closing down in Augusta, Georgia...

Residents filled the parking lot with bags and baskets hoping to get some of the baby food, canned goods, noodles and other non-perishables. But a local church never came to pick up the food, as the storeowner prior to the eviction said they had arranged. By the time the people showed up for the food, what was left inside the premises—as with any eviction—came into the ownership of the property holder, SunTrust Bank.

The bank ordered the food to be loaded into dumpsters and hauled to a landfill instead of distributed. The people that gathered had to be restrained by police as they saw perfectly good food destroyed. Local Sheriff Richard Roundtree told the news “a potential for a riot was extremely high.”

Can you imagine watching that happen?

But of course handouts and charity are only temporary solutions.  What the poor in this country really need are jobs, and unfortunately there has not been a jobs recovery in the United States since the recession ended.

In fact, the employment crisis looks like it is starting to take another turn for the worse.  The number of layoffs in the month of March was 30 percent higher than the same time a year ago.

Meanwhile, small businesses are indicating that hiring is about to slow down significantly.  According to a recent survey by the National Federation of Independent Businesses, small businesses in the United States are extremely pessimistic right now.  The following is what Goldman Sachs had to say about this survey...

Components of the survey were consistent with the decline in headline optimism, as the net percent of respondents planning to hire fell to 0% (from +4%), those expecting higher sales fell to -4% (from +1%), and those reporting that it is a good time to expand ticked down to +4% (from +5%). The net percent of respondents expecting the economy to improve was unchanged at -28%, a very depressed level. However, on the positive side, +25% of respondents plan increased capital spending [ZH: With Alcoa CapEx spending at a 2 year low]. Small business owners continue to place poor sales, taxes, and red tape at the top of their list of business problems, as they have for the past several years.

So why aren't our politicians doing anything to fix this?

For example, why in the world don't they stop millions of our jobs from being sent out of the country?

Well, the truth is that they don't think we have a problem.  In fact, U.S. Senator Ron Johnson recently said that U.S. trade deficits "don't matter".

He apparently does not seem alarmed that more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities have been shut down in the United States since 2001.

And since the last election, the White House has seemed to have gone into permanent party mode.

On Tuesday, another extravagant party will be held at the White House.  It is being called "In Performance at the White House: Memphis Soul", and it is going to include some of the biggest names in the music industry...

As the White House has previously announced, Justin Timberlake (who will be making his White House debut), Al Green, Ben Harper, Queen Latifah, Cyndi Lauper, Joshua Ledet, Sam Moore, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and others will be performing at the exclusive event.

And so who will be paying for all of this?

You and I will be.  Even as the Obamas cry about all of the other "spending cuts" that are happening, they continue to blow millions of taxpayer dollars on wildly extravagant parties and vacations.

Overall, U.S. taxpayers will spend well over a billion dollars on the Obamas this year.

I wonder what the tunnel people that live under the streets of America think about that.

Report: "Intelligence Says There Will Be An Attack on American Soil"

Report: “Intelligence Says There Will Be An Attack on American Soil”

Tensions on the Korean Peninsula are heating up, with rhetoric from the North Koreans suggesting that an attack of some kind is being planned. This isn’t the first time the North Koreans have made threats against western powers and their southern neighbor, but the level of American response is unprecedented. The United States and our allies have re-positioned Naval battle groups, deployed Aegis missile defense systems, and a host of other technology to counter-act any potential threat.

Military analysts have already warned about the possibility of North Korea exploding a high altitude nuclear device high above the continental United States using a “Super EMP” weapon capable of disabling the power grid in the lower 48 states. The North Korean space launch vehicle, a ‘weather’ satellite put into space in December of 2012 and carrying an unknown payload, will be passing over the geographic heart of the United States on April 10th. Curiously, the 10th is the same day that North Korean officials warned they would no longer be able to provide protection for foreign embassy officials in Pyongyang.

Moreover, the North Koreans are said to have mobilized some of their long-range missiles, and communications intercepted by Western intelligence agencies reportedly indicate that a planned launch of their KN-08 intercontinental ballistic missile is imminent.

The situation has become so serious that the Japanese military was given the order to shoot down any missile launched from the North, no matter if it is a test.

Reports that China has mobilized tens of thousands of troops on their border with North Korea and has put their military on its highest alert level also don’t bode well for peaceful resolution. The Chinese seem to be positioning their military to either counter North Korea’s military, turn back refugees who  may attempt to escape to China should war break out, or, as has been suggested by some analysts, to aid the North Koreans should Allied ground forces invade.

Mainstream news coverage indicates that something is about to go down.

And, slowly but surely, reports from military personnel and contractors on military bases are starting to leak, and some of them indicate that the United States is preparing for serious confrontation.

They are gearing up for something big via Steve Quayle:

I just spoke with a close associate who has been working for the last three years at Barksdale Air Force Base, on various construction projects… This man is just a guy…a construction worker…been there all his life…salt of the earth kind of guy. In his words…”I am just a working man…doing the best I can do.”

Tonight, he called to let me know that the security and activity at Barksdale has been stepped up in his words, “by 300%”.

I asked as many questions as I felt that I could and took notes so that I could simply use his quotes to accurately report what he has stated.

“We were working on a scheduled job in the munitions dump area…building new blast walls, when AF personnel came in and told us we had to leave right now. We asked if were being given a “work stoppage order.” They replied “Get out now.” and escorted us out. “More like they rushed us out.”

On April 1, AF Chief of Staff and a bunch of other DoD dignitaries flew in to Barksdale. Those coming on the base usually have a sidearm and maybe a rifle, but since the 1st, “dignitaries are also wearing flak jackets.”

“They are gearing up for something big.”

“They are bringing in serious junk.”

“Moving in warheads…I was working in an area where cruise missles are brought in, put together, armed, and shipped out.”

His exact words were, “They are shipping some serious s*** over there.”

(Here I tried to ascertain whether these were going on ships or planes.)

He replied that “they are going everywhere.”

He also stated that “they dropped a bunch dummy bombs on some islands off the coast of North Korea”..(I just read a confirmation of that from an intelligence newsletter, and confirmed by WND an hour ago.)

I asked him if Chinese officers were still on base. He replied that he had not been working in the area in which he first saw them, for the last three weeks, but he did say this…

“The Chinese and the Russians are here…let me put it this way…everybody in the UN plus a few more are in here. (U.S.)”

He heard and directly quoted one officer referring to the testing of anti-ballistic missile defense system, “We are going to see a real test, now.” He then said that he heard “Intelligence says there will be an attack on American soil.”

He then stated that these defense missile systems were ” being shipped to several bases.”

Our sources report that military personnel at the largest Army base in the country have been instructed by military leaders to have their bags packed in the event that the situation goes hot. Troops have reportedly been told to have their financial affairs and family matters in order. Likewise, in the United Kingdom, some personnel have been asked to be prepared to deploy, as well as several who were deployed (location unknown) without warning over the course of the last week.

All signs point to a military confrontation.

Whether North Korea will start this, or whether Western allies are finally going to preemptively initiate regime change in the North is anyone’s guess.

There is also the possibility of a ‘false-flag’ event designed to completely upend the global economic and political paradigms, a scenario recently suggested by Kurt Nimmo of Infowars.com:

The Federal Reserve plan to crash the economy and make room for world government and an authoritarian globalist economic and accompanying police state control system will necessitate a sufficient prerequisite – and that prerequisite may very well be a new war on the Korean peninsula.

Economic depressions are highly scripted affairs and the banksters use them to initiate big wars – not only because wars are remarkably profitable for the military-industrial complex, but because they serve as an ideal tool for wealth consolidation and fire sales held in their aftermath. Big wars are also exploited to enforce rigid discipline on the masses. It gives the plebs an excuse to accept grinding poverty and servitude. (Read full article)

To even consider the possibility of global war, or a large-scale attack on the continental United States, is a difficult notion for many to stomach.

However, members of elite banking conglomerates, the military industrial complex, and political power structures stand to benefit greatly should a war break out.

There are Trillions of dollars at play.

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

Though we hope that this is nothing more than posturing by North Korea and/or the United States, crazy things have happened throughout history, with some of history’s most horrific events stemming from seemingly unimportant or impossible-to-occur scenarios.

This is an alert and a recap for those concerned with the possibility that things could take a turn for the worse overnight.

Be vigilant. Be prepared.

Benghazigate Unanswered Questions Letter to House

Benghazigate  Unanswered Questions  Letter to House

Sunday, April 7, 2013
 

 

Editor’s Note – MG Paul E. Vallely has signed on to the letter due to be distributed early this week urging law makers not to let Benghazi get swept under the rug.

As Hillary Clinton finally produces written responses and more testimony, Congress must press her hard, as well as thoroughly pressing the rest of the Obama administration on Benghazi – we shall not rest until we know the full story.

Those who died must be granted no less – we never leave our fellow citizens unprotected, and we shall always come to their aid in time of need – no American is ever left in the field forever – despite the political environment that is in power.

This week, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will be making her swan song appearance on Capitol Hill, providing at last to Senate and House panels her testimony about the Benghazigate scandal. Under the circumstances, legislators may feel pressured to be deferential and to keep their questions more limited in scope and superficial rather than probing. For the good of the country, it is imperative that they resist going soft. (Read the rest here.)

Mystery persists six months after killings

By Frank Gaffney, Jr. – Washington Times

After Iraq was liberated from Saddam Hussein’s despotic misrule, critics denounced the then-incumbent president with the charge that “Bush lied, people died.” It never ceases to amaze that among the most prominent of those making this slanderous accusation were past and current Democratic legislators who had publicly pronounced exactly what George W. Bush did: Saddam possessed — and used — weapons of mass destruction (WMD). They, like Mr. Bush, had every reason to think and did think that such weapons, or worse, might be used again unless his regime were overthrown.

Put simply, there never had been any conscious or deliberate effort to deceive the American people. Neither did Mr. Bush seek to deflect responsibility for his actions. To the contrary, his top political adviser, Karl Rove, subsequently acknowledged that his greatest mistake — at least, until he made a centi-million-dollar hash-up of campaign 2012 — was preventing any official effort from being mounted to counter the calumny that Mr. Bush lied about Iraqi WMD, with the predictable effect of allowing the credibility of the Bush-43 presidency to be destroyed.

By contrast, people did die in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, owing to President Obama’s policies, and he lied about it, repeatedly and knowingly. This scandalous reality has come to be popularly known as “Benghazigate.”

If we don’t find out what led up to, occurred during and happened afterward — and the role played by the president and his senior subordinates throughout — there will certainly be more lies and may be more American deaths.

Despite several hearings held by assorted congressional committees, we are today no closer than before to knowing the answers to myriad questions that require urgent and authoritative answers. Among them are the following:

What role did the Obama administration’s assiduous cultivation of relations with Islamists play in the creation of the State Department’s so-called special mission facility in Benghazi? What was the true purpose of that facility, and who was assigned to staff it, with what roles?

Where are those people now and why have they not been made available to congressional investigators of the Benghazigate affair? How many of them were injured in the Benghazi attack, and what is their current status?

What caused U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens to consider it necessary to be at that facility, which he had formally complained was dangerously insecure, especially on Sept. 11, a day that al Qaeda has long sought to make open-season on Americans?

Specifically, what was the urgency of Stevens‘ last official act — an evening meeting with the Turkish consul general?

Were the special mission facility and the nearby  CIA annex involved in a covert operation to collect small arms, surface-to-air missiles or other weapons? Were any of those weapons being secretly made available — directly or indirectly — to the Syrian opposition, a group known to include  al Qaeda elements?

      If weapons secured in Libya for this purpose were transferred to the so-called Syrian rebels, was there a presidential finding authorizing such activities? In that case, had any congressional leaders been duly notified?

The public record suggests that Mr. Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton were inexplicably disengaged from the time they learned of the attack until their joint appearance the next morning in the Rose Garden. Where were they, and what were they doing during that period?

What orders were given and by whom with respect to the organization and execution of a rescue operation or other assistance to the Americans under attack? If no such orders were issued, was there direction to do nothing, and on whose authority?

Precisely who was involved in the so-called “Deputies Committee” efforts to rework the CIA talking points that were used to brief lawmakers and give the public a false narrative that an offensive video, rather than an act of terroristic jihad, was the catalyst for the attack? In particular, what role did John O. Brennan play in that disinformation?

Why did the president insist for as long as two weeks after the episode that the video was involved, prompting him to declare — among other troubling statements — at the United Nations on Sept. 25, “The future must not belong to those who slander the Prophet of Islam”?

Is such presidential guidance the reason why the Obama administration appears to have followed through on the stated intention of Mrs. Clinton to prosecute and jail the maker of that video — with ominous implications for freedom of expression in America?

Unfortunately, even now — six months after the murderous attack in Benghazi — these and many other aspects of this scandal so redolent of the Obama administration’s penchant for putting politics before public safety still cry out for proper investigation.

The current congressional committee structure has proved unable to undertake the necessary accounting, which cuts across various command structures, operational responsibilities and the conduct of numerous agencies, both civilian and military. If anything, the multiple standing House and Senate committees, with their stove-piped jurisdictions, have actually impeded the required, comprehensive determination of the facts.

Consequently, 15 prominent conservatives — many with long experience in national security policymaking and practice — recently called for the creation of a new select committee — at a minimum in the House, but ideally a bicameral one — to get to the bottom of the Benghazigate scandal. It is the only hope for establishing why we were lied to and minimizing the chances that it will happen again, possibly at the cost of far greater loss of American lives.

Here is the letter to be sent, signatures will be made available as the letter is sent – Paul E. Vallely (MG US Army Ret.) has signed on.

To: The US House of Representatives

Subject: The Benghazi attacks on 9/11/ 2012

The undersigned are a representative group of 700 retired Military Special Operations professionals who spent the majority of their careers preparing for and executing myriad operations to  rescue or recover detained or threatened fellow Americans. In fact, many of us participated in both the  Vietnam era POW rescue effort, The Son Tay Raid, as well as Operation Eagle Claw, the failed rescue  attempt in April of 1980 in Iran, so we have been at this for many years and have a deep passion for  seeking the truth about what happened during the national tragedy in Benghazi.

The purpose of this letter is to encourage all members of the US House of Representatives to support H.Res. 36, which will create a House Select Committee on the Terrorist Attack in Benghazi. It is  essential that a full accounting of the events of September 11, 2012, be provided and that the American  public be fully informed regarding this egregious terrorist attack on US diplomatic personnel and  facilities. We owe that truth to the American people and the families of the fallen.

It appears that many of the facts and details surrounding the terrorist attack which resulted in four American deaths and an undetermined number of American casualties have not yet been ascertained by  previous hearings and inquiries. Additional information is now slowly surfacing in the media, which  makes a comprehensive bipartisan inquiry an imperative. Many questions have not been answered thus  far. The House Select Committee should address, at a minimum, the following questions:

  • Why was there no military response to the events in Benghazi
    • Were military assets in the region available? If not, why not?
    • If so, were they alerted?
    • Were assets deployed to any location in preparation for a rescue or recovery attempt?
    • Was military assistance requested by DOS? If so, what type?
    • Were any US Army/Naval/USMC assets available to support the US diplomats in  Benghazi during the attack?
    • What. If any, recommendations for military action were made by DOD and the US Africa  Command?
  • What, if any, non-military assistance was provided during the attack?
  • How many US personnel were injured in Benghazi?
  • Why have the survivors of the attack not been questioned?
  • Where are the survivors?
  • Who was in the White House Situation Room (WHSR) during the entire 8-hour period of the  attacks and was a senior US military officer present?
  • Where were Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey during the crisis and what inputs and  recommendations did they make?
  •  Where were the National Security Advisor, Tom Donilon, his Deputy, Denis McDonough,  Valerie Jarrett and John Brennan during the attacks and what (if any) recommendations or  decisions did any of them make?
  • Why were F-16 fighter aircraft based in Aviano, Italy (less than two hours away) never  considered a viable option for disruption if not dispersion of the attackers, until “boots on the  ground” (General Dempsey’s words) arrived?
  • Were any strike aircraft (such as an AC-130 gunship) in the area or possibly overhead that would  cause former SEAL Tyrone Woods to laser his attacker’s position and call for gunship fire  support, thereby revealing his own location that lead to his death?
  • Who gave the order to “STAND DOWN” that was heard repeatedly during the attacks?
  • What threat warnings existed before the attack, and what were the DOD and DOS responses to  those warnings? What data (which will reveal exact timelines and command decisions) is  contained within the various SITREPS, records, logs, videos and recordings maintained by the  myriad of DOD, Intelligence Community and State Department Command Centers that were  monitoring the events in Benghazi as they unfolded?
  • Why did the Commander-in Chief and Secretary of State never once check in during the night to  find out the status of the crisis situation in Benghazi?
  • What was the nature of Ambassador Stevens’ business in Benghazi at the time of the attack?
  •  What guidance has been provided to survivors and family members since the time of the attack,  and who issued that guidance?

This was the most severe attack on American diplomatic facilities and personnel since the attacks on the US Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998. Thus far it appears that there has been no serious  effort to determine critical details of this attack. This is inexcusable and demands immediate attention by  the Congress. Congress must show some leadership and provide answers to the public as to what actually  occurred in Benghazi. Americans have a right to demand a full accounting on this issue.

A longstanding American ethos was breached during the terrorist attack in Benghazi. America failed to provide adequate security to personnel deployed into harm’s way and then failed to respond when they  were viciously attacked. Clearly, this is unacceptable and requires accountability. America has always  held to the notion that no American will be left behind and that every effort will be made to respond when  US personnel are threatened. Given our backgrounds, we are concerned that this sends a very negative  message to future military and diplomatic personnel who may be deployed into dangerous environments.

That message is that they will be left to their own devices when attacked. That is an unacceptable message.

The House Select Committee should focus on getting a detailed account of the events in Benghazi as soon as possible. H. Res. 36 will provide a structure for the conduct of a thorough inquiry of Benghazi  and should be convened immediately.

We ask that you fulfill your responsibilities to the American people and take appropriate action regarding Benghazi. With over sixty members of the US House of Representatives calling for  this Select  Committee already, it seems that the time is right to take appropriate action on Benghazi.
