Secure The Republic: Urgent ! We Need Your Help To Save The Constitution! Watch The Back Door Folks

ALERT!

We need your help in stoping a Federal Constitution Convention which is known as a Con-Con or an Article V Amendment Convention.   If 34 states  pass the Article V Amendment Convention Resolution then a Federal Constitutional Convention will be called. When that happens you can kiss the Constitution and America good-bye.

Article V of the Constitution does not provide answers to ANY of these questions:

Who would choose the delegates?

What qualifications must they have to be delegates?

What powers would the delegates have?

No one knows the answers to the above questions until Congress decides how to proceed!

With the above three questions unanswered there is no way that you can trust a Constitutional Convention.

 

Be sure you read the article below and help us save the Constitution.

 

Without your help we could be Con-Conned Out of our 2nd Amendment Rights to Keep and Bear Arms

 

Several states have introduced bills allegedly nullifying federal gun laws and rejecting Obama's Executive Order mandating such. The message is basically:"You aren't going to get our 2nd Amendment!"
There are other bills nullifying Obamacare, the NDAA (indefinite detention of American people), etc. That's all well and good. Under the 10th Amendment state legislators have the power and the duty to do so. State legislators are waking up to the power they hold under the 10th Amendment!

However, while so much attention is currently focused on saving the 2nd Amendment -- while all eyes are off the ball -- not only the 2nd Amendment, our entire Bill of Rights are once again being threatened by state resolutions calling for a Constitutional Convention (ConCon)!

In order to confuse the issue the backers are calling it an "Article V Amendment Convention", claiming it is not, will not, cannot become a Con-Con. That is a lie and your state legislators are falling for it. A Con-Con by any other name is still a Con-Con.
The first and only Con-Con took place in Philadelphia in 1787 when delegates gathered in a Conference of States (not a Constitutional Convention) to discuss problems with interstate commerce. They were given strict instructions by the Congress they were to meet only for “the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation.“ Eleven of the twelve states specifically instructed their delegates to discuss nothing more than the commerce issue.
(Patrick Henry was chosen to be a delegate but refused to attend the convention because he didn't want to give the central government more power, fearing it would endanger the rights of states and individuals. It appears now that Henry was a prophet!)
Once convened, the delegates locked the doors, nailed the windows shut so passers-by couldn't hear, formed a "committee of the whole", (chaired by George Washington President of the Conference), took a vote and declared the Articles of Confederation null and void! Pow! In the sweltering heat and humidity from May 'til October they finally emerged with a wholly new form of government. The new constitution had been waiting in the wings.
The Conference of the States became a runaway Constitutional Convention! It happened then and we are certain it will happen again if we don't stop the process.

An Article V Amendment Convention today will ubdoubtedly mutate exactly the same way it happened in 1787! This time around, the new constitution would NOT contain a "Bill of Rights". See information below on the Constitution for the Newstates of America that has been waiting in the wings since 1974!
Many of you reading this message are aware of the dangers of a Con-Con; aware of the fact that our constitution has been hanging by a thread due to the highly paid lobbyists lying to legislators for the past nearly fifty years regarding the so-called "safety-mechanism" built into Article V. There is no safety. If thirty-four (34) states pass the resolution, there is no turning back! See the dangers below!
It is our understanding that the Goldwater Institute has committed $28 million to get the resolution passed in enough states across America to get this done. We discovered today that a Balanced Budget Amendment Task Force Article V Boot Camp for state legislators, legislative staff, non-profits, political activists, and the business community was held Friday, Feb. 8th. They're armed and they are dangerous. At this time we don't have information on its content.
BOOT CAMP? Where they use a "logical, systematic process of intense mental indoctrination... This concept follows the rationale that if one can be convinced to accept two simultaneously contradictory concepts, the result is a controllable person". No longer an individual. Part of a "team".
Here is Section 3 of the resolution being considered by many states now.

"Section 3. This application is to be considered as covering the same subject matter as the presently-outstanding balanced budget applications from other states, including but not limited to previously-adopted applications from Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Texas; and this application shall be aggregated with same for the purpose of attaining the two-thirds of states necessary to require the calling of a convention, but shall not be aggregated with any applications on any other subject."

They count 17 states with standing calls. Louisiana and N. Dakota passed their resolution last year. There's also Delaware and Maryland, missing from their list. We have no knowledge of the last two rescinding their call. That brings the count to 21 states with a standing call.
If this count is accurate (we're researching it now) they need only 13 more states to get their wish. The U.S. Congress is bound by the constitution to convene a convention when/if the 34th state passes the same.
We have papers that lay out the NAFTA Implementation Schedule, which shows that by 2005 the U.S. and Canada were to be merged. Several years ago, a guest on the Sweet Liberty radio broadcast told us about a Canadian TV program with a group of professors discussing a recent summit they had attended; each and all came to the conclusion that the merger could never happen unless they could somehow repeal our 2nd Amendment. It's now 2013; they didn't get the guns, and thus far, Canada and U.S. are still separate sovereigns.
They want our guns! They cannot get our guns without dismantling our constitution! Will you help?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Are we being Con-Conned Out of our 2nd Amendment Rights to Keep and Bear Arms? To own property, educate our children?

In the summer of 1992, I read a newsletter detailing the facts about the on going effort to dismantle our constitution  I was shocked, frightened and puzzled. "Why didn't we know about this?!!"
Our constitution is hanging by a thread and has been since 1993 when Missouri legislators passed a resolution calling for a Constitutional Convention (Con-Con). "What's that?" some of you might ask; and "What's the danger?"
The U.S. Constitution in itself simply lays out the structure of the Federal Government, what it can do, and what what the States can not do. The first ten Articles of Amendment (Bill of Rights) are the ties that bind -- the cage -- that restricts the potential power of that government to run amok. The Bill of Rights tells the federal government what IT can not do.
A con-con would open the door to tinkering, tweaking and even totally rewriting the entire constitution, leaving out the Bill of Rights and granting privileges in its place. A "privilege" is a concession given by some higher authority; the granter of privileges can take away a privilege on a whim. As a matter of fact, the Bill of Rights does not give us our rights, it protects our already God-given rights.
In answer to the question, "Why didn't we know?!": It has been a quiet, sneaky, deceitful effort beginning in 1964 when the Ford Foundation funded a commission, calling upon the expertise of a hundred "social experimenters", to write a new constitution for America. Ten years, $25,000,000 dollars, and forty drafts later they were finally satisfied with their efforts. That final draft was published in a book titled, The Emerging Constitution, by Rexford G. Tugwell (Harper & Row, 1974). Remember that year: 1974
Before we go further into the details of their ongoing efforts to dismantle our constitution, let's see what life in America -- our lives, our children and grandchildren's lives -- would be like under the Constitution for the Newstates of America:

Article 1A Sec.8 - "The practice of religion shall be privileged".
Article 1-A Sec.11 - "Education shall be provided at public expense for those who meet appropriate tests of eligibility."
Article 1B Sec. 8 - "Bearing of arms shall be confined to the police, members of the armed forces, and those licensed under law."

We will undoubtedly lose our homes and farm lands. That plan was revealed in 1934 by Rexford Tugwell, author of The Emerging Constitution, mentioned above. In an article by the Phillip County News, Malta, Montana, 4 January 1934, titled

"Tugwell Predicts New Regulations for Land With Federal Control" (excerpted)
"Use of all land, public and private will be controlled by the federal government in the future, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Rexford Tugwell predicted this week. . . he concluded, 'Private control has failed to use wisely its control of the land. We are preparing a land program not merely for the benefit of those who held title to it but for the greater welfare of all the citizens of the country'."

That land control issue is covered in the Newstates Constitution:

Article 1A Sec.12 - "No property shall be taken without compensation." (notice it does not say "just" or "fair" compensation)
Article II, Sec.9 - "Taxes on land may be at higher rates than those on its improvements."
Article 9 Sec.2. - "Areas necessary for the uses of government may be acquired at its valuation and may be maintained as the public interest may require"
Article 9 Sec.16. - "To acquire property and improvements for public use at costs to be fixed, if necessary, by the Court of Claims."

The "Newstates" under this Newstates Constitution are "regions", combining some and dividing some, which will eliminate the present states, their boundaries, state legislatures, etc. Appointed bureaucrats bear titles such as Regulators, Watchkeepers, Overseers and Protectors.

ARTICLE II Sec.1 - "There shall be Newstates, each comprising no less than 5 percent of the whole population."
Article XII Sec.5 - "For establishing Newstates boundaries a commission of thirteen, appointed by the President, shall make recommendations within one year."

In 1974 -- the same year The Emerging Constitution was published -- then Senate President, Nelson Rockefeller engineered a resolution calling for an unlimited Con-Con to be held in 1976. The Newstates Constitution was (and still IS) waiting in the wings. Public opposition killed that effort, so the proponents began lobbying states to pass a resolution calling for a "limited" Con-Con under the ostensible purpose of adding a balanced budget amendment.
ALEC, an organization or "conservative" state legislators, hired lobiest, John Armor, who was successful in getting 32 states to pass the resolution. Once again, ALEC is behind the current attempt; or we might say, out in front, leading the troops, fresh out of BOOT CAMP.
By 1983, 32 of the required 34 states had made the call. In 1993, an all-out effort was made when 12 states simultaneously introduced con-con resolutions.  By the grace of God, and thousands of people networking around the country, that effort was defeated.
Not to be deterred, the planners again went back to the drawing board and in '95 came up with what they believed to be their grand finale: A "Conference of States" to be held in historic Philadelphia (where the U.S. Constitution was born).
That was a back-door attempt to open a con-con, and they nearly pulled it off. So sure of success were the powers behind the effort, a Canadian newspaper in 1995 informed its readers that British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, would be out of the country in October, attending an "important convention" in Philadelphia. We discovered later that Margaret Thatcher’s secretary was an advisor to the COS. Obviously, this is NOT a game to the con-con promoters.
What could happen in the event of a con-con? What will most probably happen?
A Constitutional Convention makes its own rules, cannot be limited, and could indeed throw out the entire structure, including our protections under the first ten Articles of Amendment (Bill of Rights), just like the framers threw out the Articles of Confederation in 1787!
The unbridled power  of the delegates to a con-con has been acknowledged several times by various State Supreme Courts, and a letter from former U.S. Chief Justice Warren Burger confirms the danger. In his letter Justice Berger said:

" . . . there is no effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention. The convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. . . . After a convention is convened, it will be too late to stop the convention if we don't like its agenda."

Those of us who actively worked to defeat the measures believed/hoped it was finally over. It is NOT over. Last year a new attempt was made. Two states that had rescinded their call, Louisiana and N. Dakota passed the current resolution.
We believe the time is ripe for those waiting to break into and dismantle the U.S. Constitution. Uninformed state legislators believe - because they're told -
1) that a con-con can be limited to one subject;
2) that adding a "balanced budget amendment" will fix the economic problems which all states are facing today; and
3) even if a total rewrite should happen "they" would never ratify.
What they are NOT told, in that matter, is that there are two modes of ratification; the U.S. Congress decides which mode will be used; and state legislators can be totally bypassed in favor of "ratifying conventions"! In addition, the Newstates Constitution would no doubt change the entire process of ratification, as happened in 1787!
In other words, they could open Pandora's Box and find themselves powerless to close it.
The Committee on the Constitutional System (CCS), says they want to wait until the U.S. is in a 1929 type depression to call a convention, because only then would the public accept the radical changes they intend to make. The Newstates Constitution would certainly fit that plan.
Here we are today, experiencing an economic collapse that financial experts predict will be a 1929 type depression. One stated that it will "make 1929 look like a walk in the park".
A Wall Street Journal article reads: "The worst budget crisis in decades is forcing states to cut funding to cash-strapped cities, which already are slashing police, firefighters and other services."
We hope to avoid a repeat of 1993; each of the twelve states mentioned were ready and waiting for their sessions to open. The con-con resolutions hit one after another at the beginning of the year. We urge you readers to further educate yourselves and keep abreast of the situation.

Eighty-Six Articles of Impeachment Against Obama

Eighty-Six Articles of Impeachment Against Obama

 

Obama Impeachment

By PETER PATON

There is a growing groundswell within American Republican and Tea Party ranks that impeachment proceedings should be initiated against President Obama on a whole list of violations of the Constitution and the War Powers Act

Congressmen Allen West of Florida (R-Florida) and Darrell Issa (R- California) have consistently and loudly criticized the president for overstepping the political mark and bypassing Congress’s approval on a whole range of dubious policies and issues:and the recent Obama attack on the Supreme Court of Justice and the Russian ” Open Mic ” gaffe on National Security, leads to one question: Is Barack Obama making his own case for impeachment? Obama did not become the Democratic nominee for President without the help of several leaders of the Democratic Party who knew that he was not eligible for office

Listed below are the Eighty Six Articles of Impeachment.

1. Appointment of a “shadow government” of some 35+ individuals termed “czars” who are not confirmed by the Senate and respond only to the president, yet have overarching regulatory powers – a clear violation of the separation of powers concept. Obama bypassed the Senate with many of his appointments of over 35 “czars.”

2. No congressional support for Libyan action (violation of the War Powers Act ). Obama lied to the American people when he said that there were no US troops on the ground in Libya and then later said they were only “logistical troops.” Obama violated the War Powers Act of 1973 by conducting a war against Libya without Congressional authorization.

3. Betraying of allies ( Israel and Great Britain. Obama has placed the security of our most trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel, in danger while increasing funding to the Palestinian Authority (Fatah, just another Islamic terrorist group) whilst they have enjoined a reconciliation pact with long-standing terrorist group Hamas and the disclosure of British nuclear secrets to the Russians in the Start Treaty.  Obama gave missile codes to British Trident missiles to Russia.

4. Backdoor implementation of the DREAM Act which would grant 22 million illegals amnesty. Obama passed the Dream Act through an executive order, bypassing Congress again. DREAM is: Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors

5. Telegraphing troop reductions to enemies – against the consult of his experienced field commanders – while embracing negotiations with our enemy, the Taliban, and recognizing another, the Muslim Brotherhood.

6. Betrayal of Arizona. Obama brought a federal lawsuit against a sovereign state, Arizona, seeking to protect its citizens from this threat of mass illegal immigration

7. Obama’s Failure to enforce U.S. law, the Defense of Marriage Act. He’s stripped America of its moral base by his support for homosexuality and the attack on marriage between a man and a women Obama allows the DOJ to refuse to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act.

8. Support of an inept and incompetent attorney general who has failed to prosecute voter intimidation cases (New Black Panther Party), initiated a dangerous gun-smuggling program (Operation Fast and Furious) – which resulted in deaths to one of our own law enforcement agents. Obama allowed Operation Fast and Furious to occur, which allowed hundreds of Mexican nationals and Border Agent Brian Terry to be murdered with illegal arms given out by the ATF and DOJ.

9. Increasing the regulatory burden on American business through bypassing the legislative process with his executive branch agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration.

10. Failure to take the steps necessary to secure our borders and stem the flow of illegal immigration, termed as “repel invasions” in our United States Constitution in Article 1, Section 8 and Article 4, Section 4. Obama has failed to defend US soil in Arizona as Mexican troops bring illegals and drugs into the USA, crossing the border doing so. This is a direct violation of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution.

11. Inappropriately commanding the release of strategic oil reserves and providing Brazil $2 billion for its offshore oil exploration.

12. Illegally soliciting funds from within the White House ($5 dinner video fundraiser). The unalienable rights endowed to us by the Creator; life, liberty, and the pursuit (not guarantee) of happiness – are being threatened by the Obama administration. This current government has abridged the consent of the governed and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends. It is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

13.Taking on the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review with a preemptive striking against justices who might contemplate an unfavorable ruling on ObamaCare.

14.”Open Mic ” gaffe in which he explained Russian President Dimitri Medvedev that he’d have more “flexibility” to sacrifice American security after his re-election

20.

Obama instigated a revolution in Egypt against an ally in the War on Terror.

21. Obama has appointed Muslim Brotherhood advisers, enemies of the State, to the White House. Aid and comfort to the Muslim Brotherhood is TREASON per Article 3 Sec III of the US Constitution.. http://tinyurl.com/3x88l2s

They routed the money to Obama’s community activist buddies who then tried to turn the students in radicals. The program was a total failure.

39. Obama, as an Illinois State Senator, redirected tens of millions in Illinois tax dollars to Valerie Jarrett and Tony Rezko, to provide housing for low income families. They returned the favor with political donations. The housing units were built with cheap materials and labor and are uninhabitable after a mere 10 years of use.

40. Obama accepted millions in illegal campaign contributions from foreign credit cards after the credit card filters used to screen out foreign money, was switched off. This also allowed domestic donors, who were over the legal limit, to contribute more.

45. Obama is in contempt of Federal court for his illegal oil drilling moratorium in the Gulf…

46. Obama spent a month as the UN Security Council Chair in 2009, which raises the question of his conflict of interest between the US and the UN. This is also likely a violation of his Oath of Office as the UN conflicts with our Constitution on many levels, i.e., LOST, UN Small Arms ban, etc.

47. Obama signed an EO in December 2009 that allows Interpol to operate in the US without oversight by Congress, courts, FBI, or local law enforcement.

48. Obama and SecState Clinton misappropriated, er, used $23 million in US taxpayer funds to help Obama’s homeland of Kenya move to a communist nation where the freedom of speech, private property rights, and other rights are subservient to “social justice”. This includes the fact that the Kenyan constitution adopted Sharia Law, which violates the basic human rights of women.

49. Obama was likely involved with then Governor Rod Blagojevich to try and sell his Illinois Senate seat, i.e., pay to play. Jesse Jackson Jr is under investigation for it and it appears that Valerie Jarrett might also have been involved.

50. Obama ran a website that asked Americans to report on other Americans, in the area of ObamaKare, using whitehouse.gov and taxpayer money to do so. He repeated this with AttackWatch.

51.   Obama got onto the Indiana ballot through voter fraud in 2008.

52.

58. Obama attempted to bribe Joe Sestak with a job offer in order to get him to drop out of the Senate race against Arlen Specter.

59. Obama bypassed Congress and told the EPA to set carbon emission standards.

73. Obama deprived the due process of two U.S.citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, by assassinating them via a CIA drone attack in Yemen on Sept. 30, 2011. This also raises the question of an act of war against Yemen for firing into a sovereign nation.

Carl Gallups:  “How can it be that thousands of people won’t even talk about (Obama’s forged ID) because they are terrified?”
LJ: In August 2011 I decided that I would no longer be on the sidelines concerning Barack Obama and the forged identification that he is using. (I was) following the lead of Susan Daniels, an Ohio private investigator who discovered that Obama is using a phony Social Security number. I built on her research.
I decided that I was one of Obama’s “employers”. I ran his SSN through e-Verify – a government program (designed) to see if your employee is eligible to work in the U.S. It came back flagged for fraud. Very few SSNs come back (with this warning). It takes a whole lot of fraud to earn one of those flags. Barack Obama’s Social Security number earned one of those flags.
After I did that, I published a report and sent it out. World Net Daily did a big story on it, published on September 11, 2011. No one with authority or responsibility did anything about it.
I sent a letter to Barack Obama (describing my findings) and advised him that I needed him to verify his SSN and birth date. I am required by law to do this as one of his employers. Needless to say, I never heard back from him.
I decided that when the 2012 election came around I was going to challenge the placement of his name on the ballot because he is using forged identification – a forged birth certificate and a fraudulent Social Security number.
I filed my case to keep him off the ballot (in August 2012). The presumption of truth that our (Washington state) secretary of state affords its candidates’ claims of eligibility have been undermined by (Obama’s) use of forged ID – wouldn’t you say? So that was my claim in a nutshell.
I filed (my claim) on August 27, and it was dismissed on August 29. I filed an appeal to the Washington State Supreme Court on September 4. The claim was dismissed as frivolous on December 4.
The state attorney general had asked the court to dismiss the claim as frivolous, then asked for almost $13,000 in sanctions, basically penalizing me for accessing the judicial system, which is my right.
CG: What is frivolous about presenting hard-core evidence that we probably have an illegal usurper as the commander-in-chief? What’s frivolous about that? 
LJ: In any other case, the evidence I presented would at least demand an evidentiary hearing. When the authenticity of a document is called into question, the rules of evidence demand that the original be produced. In any other case, the original would be provided, but not in this case.
CG: In the last several days something else has happened?
LJ: Eight or nine days ago a friend suggested that I contact a lawyer named Richard Sanders. He sat on the Washington State Supreme Court for fifteen years, and I have admired him very much. He is pro-life, a staunch defender of the Constitution, and he truly believes in the right of the average citizen to access the courts. He really does not like to see the heavy hand of government come down on someone like me who is representing themselves.
I emailed him and he responded. Three or four days ago he called me and said “I would like to represent you”. He proposed to charge me a very fair flat fee. I accepted and he went to work right away. Yesterday he submitted a motion on my behalf to the Washington State Supreme Court.
He discovered that the state had actually billed approximately $3400 for this case, but the attorney general was asking for almost $13,000.
CG: What they have done to you is absolutely wrong. Now former Justice Sanders is willing to defend you. It is my understanding that you are the first civilian that he has ever defended since he’s been off the Supreme Court bench. Is that correct?
LJ: Yes – I am the first person he has represented in seventeen years. He was that moved and motivated. Now, I can’t tell you what he thinks about the forged documents for Obama. I can tell you that he’s defending the little guy and the right (of the people) to access our judicial system and to request an evidentiary hearing.
I contacted over twenty lawyers in the last year because I realized that I was in over my head and I was getting really tired. None of them would touch me. Some of them insisted that I not even use their name. (I was made to feel) that I was unclean. These guys will represent a pedophile or a murderer, but they will not represent a conservative?
CG: Yes – somebody who’s asking about documents that are proven to be forgeries.
I believe that we’re also dealing with a deeply spiritual issue here. How can It be that all the media is terrified of him, all these attorneys are terrified, and judges are terrified of him, courts are terrified of him - and congressman – I’ll bet you congressmen haven’t done a thing. Five hundred and thirty five members of Congress – they’re terrified of him. That is spiritual Linda – that’s got to be spiritual. How can it be that thousands of people won’t even talk about it because they are terrified?
Linda, we are going to keep praying for you. Thank you, and keep us updated because the listeners here on the Gulf Coast are deeply interested in what’s happening in your case. God bless you.

The Fema Camp Bill Is Back!

The Fema Camp Bill Is Back!
Saturday, February 9, 2013 13:25
 
 

 

Source: Lee Rogers, BlacklistedNews.com

EEUU FEMA camp.

It looks as if Representative Alcee Hastings a Democrat from Florida has decided to reintroduce his FEMA Camp bill. A few years ago I was the first person to write an article about this awful piece of legislation. Fortunately, I was successful in exposing it to a much larger group of people via the alternative media and the bill did not move forward in the legislative process. The latest iteration of this bill has been introduced as House Resolution 390 otherwise known as the National Emergency Centers Establishment Act. This bill would authorize not fewer than 6 military installations as sites for the establishment of national emergency centers to be run by FEMA under the command of the Secretary of Homeland Security.

I was extremely critical of an earlier version of the bill which was proposed in the 111th Congress as HR 645. The bill used vague language to give the Secretary of Homeland Security carte blanche power to use these facilities for anything that the Secretary felt was appropriate. In other words if the Secretary of Homeland Security felt like using them as death camps than potentially that could have been considered a lawful use of the facilities according to the language in the bill. In this new version it looks like Representative Hastings got the message and decided to remove the vague language even though the Secretary of Homeland Security would still be in charge of the proposed facilities.

As American citizens go about their daily routine of working ,struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table for their families.Most are totally clueless that our government would love nothing more than to have them thrown into a FEMA camp.

Obama gets notice of default in Calif. court over forgery allegations (Photos)

Obama gets notice of default in Calif. court over forgery allegations (Photos)

Show do not change

On Friday, a district court in California issued a notice of default on Barack Hussein Obama for the president's lack of response to a plaintiff's birther allegations.  The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ruled that Obama had until Jan. 25, 2013 to respond to allegations that he had submitted fake IDs and forged documents in order to run for political office.

Due to the default, Dr. Orly Taitz is now requesting a default judgment against the sitting president.  On Feb. 15, the Supreme Court of the United States will also review details of the birther allegations in conference.  However, less than three percent of such cases are typically elevated to more stringent review by all nine justices. 

Is this Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate?

Two weeks before the inaugural festivities in Washington D.C., Chief Justice John Roberts submitted Barack Obama's birther case for distribution in conference despite being rejected by other justices.

California court records show that Dr. Taitz submitted the complaint on Dec. 12, 2012.  She alleges that Obama has used several aliases including Barry Soetero, Barry Soebarkah, and Harrison J. Bounel in order to conceal his ineligibility to serve as president.  More specifically, Dr. Taitz alleges that the president used fake social security numbers as well as forged birth certificates and passport records.  In 2008, the Washington Times reported that John Brennan, Obama's current nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, may have played a role in scrubbing the then-candidate's passport records.

On her official website, Taitz has recently alleged harassment and "black hat" methods due to her accusations against the president.  She said that her email account appears to have been hacked with dozens of messages missing.  Additionally, Taitz said that birther documents have recently gone missing from search engines and the internet.

Further compounding the presidential mystery, revelations surfaced in the fall of 2012 that Obama's ring on his left finger precedes his marriage to Michelle Obama.  According to research by WND author Jerome Corsi, the inscription on the president's ring reads "There is no God but Allah" and several photos confirm that Obama has been wearing the ring prior to his wedding to the current First Lady.  Barack and Michelle were married by controversial Chicago pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

Throughout his political campaigns, Obama has always maintained that he belongs to the Christian faith.  However, a 1990 photo while he was at Harvard Law School shows Obama wearing the same ring with the Islamic inscription.  Additionally, the Harvard photo mentions Obama's persistent refusal to answer questions about the ring.

In addition to Taitz's accusations, forensic investigators have found a doctored photo of Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, on the president's official Facebook page.  The photo shows a Caucasian woman standing behind a young Obama.  However, Dunham's right hand (located under Obama's right armpit) appears to be the hand of a black man (perhaps Frank Marshall Davis), not that of a white woman.

Do Wall Street Insiders Expect Something Really BIG To Happen Very Soon?

Do Wall Street Insiders Expect Something Really BIG To Happen Very Soon?

By Michael, on February 6th, 2013

Do Wall Street Insiders Expect Something Really BIG To Happen Very Soon? - Photo by nosha on flickr

           Why are corporate insiders dumping huge numbers of shares in their own companies right now?  Why are some very large investors suddenly making gigantic bets that the stock market will crash at some point in the next 60 days?  Do Wall Street insiders expect something really BIG to happen very soon?  Do they know something that we do not know? What you are about to read below is startling.  Every time that the market has fallen in recent years, insiders have been able to get out ahead of time.  David Coleman of the Vickers Weekly Insider report recently noted that Wall Street insiders have shown "a remarkable ability of late to identify both market peaks and troughs".  That is why it is so alarming that corporate insiders are selling nine times as many shares as they are buying right now.  In addition, some extraordinarily large bets have just been made that will only pay off if the financial markets in the U.S. crash by the end of April.  So what does all of this mean?  Well, it could mean absolutely nothing or it could mean that there are people out there that actually have insider knowledge that a market crash is coming.  Evaluate the evidence below and decide for yourself...

For some reason, corporate insiders have chosen this moment to unload huge amounts of stock.  According to a CNN article, corporate insiders are now selling nine times more of their own shares than they are buying...

Corporate insiders have one word for investors: sell.

Insiders were nine times more likely to sell shares of their companies than buy new ones last week, according to the Vickers Weekly Insider report by Argus Research.

What makes this so alarming is that corporate insiders have been exceedingly good at "timing the market" in recent years.  The following comes from a recent CNBC article entitled "Sucker Alert? Insider Selling Surges After Dow 14,000"...

"In almost perfect coordination with an equity market that was rushing toward new all-time highs, insider sentiment has weakened sharply — falling to its lowest level since late March 2012," wrote David Coleman of the Vickers Weekly Insider report, one of the longest researchers of executive buying and selling on Wall Street. "Insiders are waving the cautionary flag in an increasingly aggressive manner."

There have been more than nine insider sales for every one buy over the past week among NYSE stocks, according to Vickers. The last time executives sold their company's stock this aggressively was in early 2012, just before the S&P 500 went on to correct by 10 percent to its low for the year.

"Insiders know more than the vast majority of market participants," said Enis Taner, global macro editor for RiskReversal.com. "And they're usually right over a long period of time."

There are other indications that the stock market may be headed for a significant tumble in the months ahead.  For example, as a Zero Hedge article recently pointed out, the last time that the financial markets in the U.S. were as "euphoric" as they are now was right before the financial crisis of 2008.

And as I mentioned above, some people out there have recently made some absolutely jaw-dropping bets against stocks which will only pay off if there is a financial crash at some point in the next few months.

According to Business Insider, the recent purchase of 100,000 put options by a mystery investor has a lot of people on Wall Street talking...

According to Barron's columnist Steven Sears, someone made a big bet against the financials ETF yesterday (ticker symbol XLF), and it has everybody buzzing.

The trader bought 100,000 put options on the ETF (a put option increases in value when the price of the underlying asset, in this case, the ETF, goes down).

To put that number in perspective, Sears writes, "Few investors ever trade more than 500 contracts, so a 100,000 order tends to stop traffic and prompt all sorts of speculation about what's motivating the trade." According to Sears, the trade "has sparked conversations across the market."

Reportedly, those put options expire in April.

And as Art Cashin of UBS has noted, there was also another extremely large bet that was placed recently that is banking on a financial crash within the next two months...

A Very Big Bet In A Somewhat Unlikely Instrument – My friend, Jim Brown, the ever-alert consummate professional over at Option Investor pointed us to a rather unusual trade. Here's what he wrote in last night's edition of his valuable newsletter:

In past years I have reported on trades that were so large it appeared someone had inside knowledge of a pending event. Sometimes those were massive put positions on the S&P. A new trade just appeared that suggests there will be a market event in the near future. Last week somebody put on a call spread on the VIX using the April 20 and 25 puts. They bought 150,000 contracts for a net of $75 per contract. That is an $11,250,000 bet that the VIX will move over 20 over the next 60 days. You would have to be VERY confident in your outlook to risk $11 million on a directional position with the VIX at five year lows and the markets trying to break out to new highs.

So does all of this guarantee that the stock market is going to move a certain way?

Of course not.

But when you step back and look at the bigger picture, it does appear that Wall Street insiders are preparing for something.

Meanwhile, the government continues to assure us that happy days are here again for the U.S. economy and that we don't have anything to worry about.

The Congressional Budget Office has just released a report that contains their outlook for the next decade.  The report is entitled "The Budget and Economic Outlook: Fiscal Years 2013 to 2023", and if you want a good laugh you should read it.

Here are some of the things that the CBO believes will happen...

-The CBO believes that government revenues will more than double by 2023.

-The CBO believes that government revenue as a percentage of GDP will rise from 15.8 percent today to 19.1 percent in 2023.

-The CBO believes that the unemployment rate will continually fall over the next decade.

-The CBO believes that the federal budget deficit will fall to just 2.4% of GDP in fiscal year 2015.

-The CBO believes that the federal budget deficit will only be $430 billion in 2015.

-The CBO believes that we will not have a single recession over the next decade.

-The CBO believes that inflation will stay at about 2 percent for the next decade.

-The CBO believes that U.S. GDP will grow by a total of 67 percent by 2023.

Wow, all of that sounds great until you go back and take a look at how CBO projections have fared in the past.

In fact, Bruce Krasting has gone back and looked at the numbers from the Congressional Budget Office’s Budget and Economic Outlook 2003.  I think that you will find the differences between the CBO projections and what really happened to be very humorous...

Estimated 10-year budget surplus = $5.6T.

Reality = $6.6T deficit. A 200+% miss.

 

Estimate for 2012 Debt Held by Public = $1.2T (5% of GDP).

Reality = Debt Held by Public = $11.6T. A 1000% miss.

 

Estimated fiscal 2012 GDP = $17.4T.

Reality = $15.8T. A $1.6T (10%) miss.

So should we trust what the CBO is telling us now?

Of course not.

Instead, perhaps we should listen to some of the men that successfully warned us about the last financial crisis...

-"Dr. Doom" Marc Faber recently stated that he "loves the high odds of a ‘big-time’ market crash".

-Economist Nouriel Roubini says that we should "prepare for a perfect storm".

-Pimco's Bill Gross says that we are heading for a "credit supernova".

-Nomura's Bob Janjuah believes that the financial markets will experience one more huge spike before collapsing by up to 50%...

I continue to believe that the S&P500 can trade up towards the 1575/1550 area, where we have, so far, a grand double top. I would not be surprised to see the S&P trade marginally through the 2007 all-time nominal high (the real high was of course seen over a decade ago – so much for equities as a long-term vehicle for wealth creation!). A weekly close at a new all-time high would I think lead to the final parabolic spike up which creates the kind of positioning extreme and leverage extreme needed to create the conditions for a 25% to 50% collapse in equities over the rest of 2013 and 2014, driven by real economy reality hitting home, and by policymaker failure/loss of faith in "their system".

The truth is that no matter how much money printing the Federal Reserve does, it is only a matter of time before the financial markets catch up with economic reality.

The U.S. economy has been in decline for a very long time, and things just continue to get even worse.  Here are just a few numbers...

-The percentage of the civilian labor force that is employed has fallen every single year since 2006.

-According to John Williams of shadowstats.com, truly accurate numbers would show that U.S. GDP growth has actually been continuously negative all the way back to 2005.

-U.S. families that have a head of household that is under the age of 30 have a poverty rate of 37 percent.

-One recent survey found that nearly half of all Americans are living on the edge of financial ruin.

-According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are more than 146 million Americans that are considered to be either "poor" or "low income" at this point.

For many more statistics that demonstrate that the U.S. economy has continued to decline in recent years, please see this article: "37 Statistics Which Show How Four Years Of Obama Have Wrecked The U.S. Economy".

So where is all of this headed?

Well, after the next major financial crisis in America things are going to get very tough.

We can get a hint for how things are going to be by taking a look at what is going on over in Europe right now.

Can you imagine people trampling each other for food?  That is what is happening in Greece.  Just check out this excerpt from a Reuters article...

Hundreds of people jostled for free vegetables handed out by farmers in a symbolic protest earlier on Wednesday, trampling one man and prompting an outcry over the growing desperation created by economic crisis.

Images of people struggling to seize bags of tomatoes and leeks thrown from a truck dominated television, triggering a bout of soul-searching over the new depths of poverty in the debt-laden country.

The suffering that the Greeks are experiencing right now will come to this country soon enough.

So enjoy this false bubble of debt-fueled prosperity while you can.  It is going to end way too soon, and after that there will be a whole lot of pain.

Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Libya Attack

Panetta: Obama Absent Night of Libya Attack

Thursday, 07 Feb 2013 03:57 PM

By Todd Beamon

More ways to share...
 

 

Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told senators on Thursday that President Barack Obama was absent the night U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in Libya on last Sept. 11.
Under questioning by Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Panetta said that he had met with Obama at a pre-scheduled meeting at 5 p.m., The Weekly Standard reports.
The meeting was a pre-scheduled 30-minute session, Panetta testified. He testified that he and Obama spent about 20 minutes discussing the American embassy that was surrounded in Egypt and the situation that was just unfolding in Benghazi.
But, otherwise, President Obama left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under attack in Benghazi, “up to us” — meaning Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, The Standard reports.

When Ayotte asked whether Obama had called to check on the status of events in Benghazi, Panetta said, “no, but we got information that the ambassador, his life had been lost, it went to the White House.”
The outgoing Defense Secretary said that he did not communicate with anyone at the White House on the night of Sept. 11.
“There was no follow-up from the White House?” Ayotte asked.
“No,” Panetta responded. Obama had never called to check in, he testified.
When Ayotte asked whether the president had checked on what resources were available and how fast could they have been sent to the consulate, Panetta said, “The biggest problem that night was that nobody knew what was going on t

DOJ Memo outlining Obama's plan to kill U.S. Citizens at will Oppose Obama ,,Prepare to Die !


 

DOJ memo outlining Obama’s plan to kill US citizens at will

Oppose Obama…Prepare to Die!

Author
- Sher Zieve (Bio and ArchivesThursday, February 7, 2013  

By now, most of you are likely aware of the 16-page DOJ memo outlining Obama’s plan to kill US citizens at will…whenever and wherever he likes. The “rules of law’ the Obama syndicate members appear to be using are those laws consisting of Obama’s plans to bring them into existence via Executive Orders and existing law that he and his attorneys will deem—whether they are or not—supportive of their master’s “right” to kill anyone he says is a terrorist, a potential terrorist or someone he thinks might be a terrorist in the future.

In other words, via Obama and New World Order ‘logic‘, Obama can kill anyone he deems dangerous…even ideologically to himself, personally. That, of course, includes anyone and everyone who opposes him. Currently, the memo pertains to killing US citizens without charges or a trial or even legal assistance for the targeted citizen outside of the country. Under the US Constitution killing US citizens without due process of existing law is not allowed—whether in or out of the country. All it would take for Obama to decide to kill US citizens in their homes—those who “offend” him—would, apparently, be another swipe of his pen in the form of yet another illegal Executive Order; the same type of Executive Order that most members of Congress have, thus far, patently ignored.

Regarding the memo, Judge Andrew Napolitano stated: “It basically says that the president of the United States can authorize an ‘informed, high-level official of the U.S. government’ to strip the constitutional protections of an American in a foreign country if the informed official is satisfied that the American is an imminent danger to American national security and his capture or arrest would be impractical, That is basically the power claimed by kings and tyrants. ‘I can suspend the law to get you if you are a danger‘.”

Note: Please remember that in the 1970s ObamaFriend and real terrorist Bill Ayers (via FBI informant Larry Grathwohl) said that over 25,000,000 (that’s 25 millions, folks) Americans would likely have to be exterminated because they would be too loyal to the US Constitution, too capitalistic and would not be able to be “reeducated” Soviet style. It would seem that, in true Obama fashion for his friends, one of Bill Ayers’ fondest wishes is about to be realized. By the way, in that same video (see source material below) the references to giving China and Russia US land on US homeland soil was, and still is, one of Ayers’ desires. Via Obama dictate—and a willing and/or cowed Congress—China is already setting up camp in various portions of the USSA and is planning to set up more of them. Colleague Eric Rush offers excellent insight into portions of this and Obama’s determination to disarm the American public in his recent column “The Darkest Design of Barack Obama.”

Every day now, Barack Obama is doing more to destroy our country and us. Each day, said destruction becomes bolder and bolder. If bullies and tyrants aren’t stopped, this is what, inevitably, happens, and lives are summarily destroyed or ended. Alexander (the Great) did it. Hitler did it. Stalin did it. Mao did it. Pol Pot did it, amongst countless others. Now, Barack Hussein Obama is working to do it and become more tyrannical than any of the rest. My column in 2008 “Is the USA ready for an American Stalin” was more prescient than I realized at the time. Few of our “leaders” have been or are currently willing to take on the would-be greatest tyrant of them all. It appears that we columnists and those websites that continue to fight the beast are, almost, the only vocal ones left. We can only pray that there are a few true leaders who will light the torch of freedom—once again—in order to bring back both sanity and liberty to the God-fearing country that was once a beacon and safe harbor to the world. For, we cannot truly continue, at all, on our present course; a course which already includes death. So, either way, Obama plans to “get” US citizens and those on the federal level—think Boehner and the other RINOs—have already told us they are powerless or unwilling to stop the onslaught.

It, again, is up to We-the-People. How many are willing to put on the armor of God, pick up Obama’s gauntlet and slap him back?

“For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death”—Psalm 48:14

DHS Insider: Obamas Cyber Warriors & Preparing For Collapse

DHS Insider: Obamas Cyber Warriors & Preparing For Collapse
Wednesday, February 6, 2013 6:50
 
 

What should we be looking for next? “Look around. You’re seeing it.”

By Douglas J. Hagmann

6 February 2013; The following information was provided to me by my DHS contact on two different occasions. Information from my first contact was previously published in two parts (here and here). I was asked to withhold the final portion of the information that was provided to me at that time until after the inauguration. The following resumes where part II left off. At the request of this source and for the sake of continuity, the following combines the information withheld and the information from our most recent contact on 4 February 2013.

DH: Do I have your permission to record this conversation?

RB: Please do.

DH: We’ve spoken at different times since the information you gave me was published. You have since given me additional information on top of the information you asked me to withhold until after the inauguration. First, what was the reason for asking me to wait to publish the remainder of our discussion until after the inauguration?

RB: This bunch, top level DHS brass, is clamping down on leaks. One way they are finding leakers is to put out false information specific to certain individuals. They can trace the information directly to the leaker due to the nature and specificity of the information. It was part self-preservation, part vetting one of my closest and most important contacts. It was a test to assure that I am not being used for disinformation purposes or being targeted as a leaker. It was something I felt I had to do, and I’m glad I did. I feel more comfortable now about my sources.

DH: So, if I understand you correctly, your sources “passed” whatever test you were performing?

RB: Yes.

DH: And you still have access to information, I mean, whistleblower type information?

RB: I know what you mean, so I guess that’s one way to put it. Okay.

DH: For continuity and to refresh your memory, I’m going to play the remainder of our recorded interview from our contact last month.

[At this point, we listened to the dialogue previously recorded. After the recording concluded, this DHS source suggested that we combine new information with the previously recorded information to avoid unnecessary repetition. It was agreed and the recorder was turned back on with his consent].

DH: Just to be clear, let me hit this again. The main reason you asked me to wait to publish your previous statements had more to do with you, your sources and well, your own self preservation than the content of our discussion.

RB: I guess you could say that. But the information is still valid and becomes even more important when combined with the latest information I have for you.

DH: Okay, we can get on with it, then.

RB: First of all, two days after the inauguration, at exactly 7:00 a.m. on January 23, something called “the Cyber-Warriors for Obama Project” was activated. I heard about this the week after the election, but only saw a hardcopy draft in late December. From what I was told, I believe this is a project that is being paid for through funds from Obama’s political corporation, the 501(c)4 Organizing for Obama, I believe it’s called. I can’t be sure, but that’s what I was told.

At that time, I was shown a white, three-ring binder with Obama’s circular campaign logo imprinted on the outside of the binder with the name “Cyber-Warriors for Obama” printed in blue across the top. Inside were the names and e-mail addresses of 3,575 “cyber assets,” or “warriors,” listed in alphabetical order under about a dozen or so “team leaders.” From a separate sheet I was shown, most of these “assets” are being paid just over minimum wage, but as I understand it, they work from home and have no overhead. I believe there are about two dozen supervisors who make substantially more.

Now I only had the binder for a minute, and could not take it from the room I was in, so this is strictly from memory.

It was tabbed, and one section with the word “targets” had a list of religious web sites, web sites I recognized as Christian. Another section was a listing of conservative Internet sites. There was another tab with the label “problem sites” that seemed quite extensive. I looked at that section, and it was broken down further into “birther” sites, “pro-gun” sites, “anti-abortion” sites, just to name a few.

There was also a section of the usual news sites, like CNN, ABC, you know. Numerous e-mail addresses were conspicuous under each news organization, which also included Fox… [unintelligible]. I figured you were going to ask.

The first page of the binder had bullet points labeled “objectives” and instructions for the cyber-assets. There was also a very detailed non-disclosure agreement with the word “DRAFT” typed in big, light grey letters across the body of the two-page agreement. The agreement and the instructions were typed on white paper with a warning, printed in red on each page, that the document was not to be copied or disseminated.

DH: Where did you see this? I mean, was it at DHS?

RB: Yes, and that’s as much as I can say on the location.

DH: What’s the magic behind the number 3,575?

RB: I asked the person showing me [the binder] that question. Supposedly, it has to do with their budget, or the project funding.

DH: Go on.

RB: The instructions seemed very specific. Infiltrate web forums, collect screen names, avatars, and posters’ tag lines, and attempt to resolve these to their actual identities. I read one paragraph that listed circumstances when the “asset” was only to monitor but do not disrupt without authorization. There was another section titled “Divert, Disrupt and Destroy,” listing “how to’s” in certain cases.

There was also a section on maintaining a social media presence, and another on the most effective use of Twitter.

Lastly, there was a “reference section,” which included statistics, specific language to use to marginalize different posters, and effective methods to discredit people while maintaining a sense of legitimacy.

It was surreal, to say the least.

Oh, one more thing that’s important. As I said, these “kids,” or young people I believe, are known collectively as “Cyber-Warriors for Obama.” The subheading was “And the truth shall set you free.”  Truth? Really? They were hired on their hacking abilities, or more precisely on their abilities to make postings through proxy servers and effectively use alternate identities and multiple e-mail addresses. Their purpose is to spread disinformation, not truth.

There were also motivational statements on various pages, including one that referred to Obama as the “Pharaoh of the Internet,” which I thought was an odd characterization.

But what’s important is that suddenly, through the use of Internet aliases, multiple e-mail addresses, and screen names, a project that employs 3,575 people will have the appearance and effectiveness of maybe 10,000 or more different people.

DH: Do you know if these “team members” have their own copies of the binder you saw?

RB: No. I was told that these people were hired through the campaign offices located throughout the country, and that training meetings were held at various locations. The binders were for instructional purposes, not to hand out. Although I think the people have, or were given, a list of web sites.

I don’t know any more on the actual mechanics of the project.

DH: During our previous contact, you said that we should listen to Obama’s comments about the economy, I mean during the inaugural speech. What’s so significant about that?

RB: Well, this is perhaps the most important issue people need to understand. There will be, and was, talk of a recovery and a stronger economy, but it’s all propaganda. As you heard me say in the recording you just played, the complete inaugural address will be a “Baghdad Bob” moment, and it was. Many economists will use false figures and statistics to deceive the American people. People must not downplay the importance of the economic aspect of this address. The sudden collapse of the U.S. dollar (however it actually plays out) and everything that goes with it (such as social chaos and riots) will be one part of a plan that was set in motion a long time ago.

DH: During our previous contact, you said that we should listen to Obama’s comments about the economy, I mean during the inaugural speech. What’s so significant about that?

RB: Well, this is perhaps the most important issue people need to understand. There will be, and was, talk of a recovery and a stronger economy, but it’s all propaganda. As you heard me say in the recording you just played, the complete inaugural address will be a “Baghdad Bob” moment, and it was. Many economists will use false figures and statistics to deceive the American people. People must not downplay the importance of the economic aspect of this address. The sudden collapse of the U.S. dollar (however it actually plays out) and everything that goes with it (such as social chaos and riots) will be one part of a plan that was set in motion a long time ago.

DH: And you are getting this from your current intelligence sources? Frankly, I’m not sure I completely understand the connection between DHS and what’s going on with the economy. Seems like it should be separate.

RB: What’s not to understand? The economic devastation that will take place is an attack, a planned attack on the U.S. Just look at it that way. This “regime” already knows the outcome, which is the debasement of our national currency. Like I said, it’s been in the works most recently since the 1990′s. A collapse does not happen without a lot of pain - people losing everything in their retirement accounts, savings and so on. Don’t you think that will cause one hell of a national security problem? And who is running our national or domestic security? DHS.

Oh, and one of the reasons I wanted to include more recent information into our discussion relates to something you did last month, after our talk. I know you said you did not want to source your own work, but there was one important radio program you did that caused a very angry response inside DHS.

DH: How so?

RB: You had a financial insider on your program who went by some letter, like the first or last letter of his name.

DH: Yes, that was “V” who is a source for Steve Quayle. We did a program at the beginning of January, I think – I’d have to look.  [Edited to add that the actual program was 11 January 2013.]

RB: Yeah, that was it. If you ask your network, I think you’ll find a request was made for the transcript of that program by DHS. The information given by that source was protected, or confidential, especially regarding the actions of big bankers here in the U.S. and the foreign markets. These international bankers are playing a big role in killing the U.S., and although they’re bold, they still don’t want certain things disclosed before their time.

DH: But that information had nothing to do with national security. I mean, how would this relate to DHS?

RB: Now you’re giving me a headache [laughter]. Let me spell it out for you, and this is the crux of everything. We have Obama (or whatever his real name is) in the Oval Office. You’ve said it before, that America is a “captured operation.” Well, it is, and every top level operative at DHS and Justice knows it. They have his dossier.

Think about Obama’s mother working in microfinance with Timothy Geithner’s father. What are the odds? And that’s just one “coincidence.”

A lot of people won’t get this until it’s too late, or maybe never get it. But take a good look at Obama and the people who surround him. Look at the 2008 economic crisis under Bush. Look at the run up to where we’re at today. The orchestrated boom of the 1990′s. The GLB Act signed into law under Clinton that changed the complexion of our domestic economy. Look at the people who are still around, the architects of this. It’s a big lie! It’s all been rigged, and the insiders know this! Look at the continuity of agenda since “Bush senior.”

Now listen to what I am telling you. This is a continuing operation that involves many of the same people on both sides of the aisle in Washington. This is one of the reasons why no one wants to talk about Obama’s past. He is the product of a continuing intelligence operation, put in power to oversee the dismantling of the U.S., with the economy being the lynchpin of our destruction. Obama, Jarrett, and the Clintons are in constant contact with all high level operatives inside the DHS. Perhaps not directly in all cases but through their contacts. They are working together to see to it that the U.S. economy is brought down, robbing the people of their wealth and then blaming partisan politics for the crash.

For the first time in recent history, you’re going to see people hungry and out in the streets. Those unprepared or those thinking this is all [expletive deleted]. Desperate and begging for food. Think Katrina, but on a national scale. That’s what is being planned for Americans, and few people are willing to see what’s happening, or willing to believe it. Now here’s where DHS, my sources and information comes in.

Everybody is looking at the gun “problem” in America. Fights over the Second Amendment. State laws that go against the Constitution. Blame it on Sandy Hook or Colorado. Tell people we need to be disarmed because it’s for the children. It’s all [expletive deleted]. Most people know it’s all [expletive deleted], but that’s where their rational assessment stops. Why do you think the people in power want to - no – need to disarm the public? It’s because they are planning an economic collapse, and an armed and informed populace is a danger to their plan.

DH: Wait, wouldn’t it make sense to let the guns stay in the hands of the people and have the people shoot it out among themselves? Wouldn’t this fit in with their desire for chaos, and make it easier for Martial Law to be implemented?

RB: In a way, but you’re still not thinking big enough. The way this is being planned includes that scenario, but they are very afraid that once total chaos breaks out, they will become the targets. So to a point you’re right, but then a crackdown must take place.

DH: But the elected ones are well protected.

RB: Yeah, but you are not thinking like them. There are several scenarios or models they have commissioned. They exist in printed form and have been given to Obama and Jarrett specifically. It’s war gaming with the American people. That caused some mid-level military people with a conscience to ask what the hell is going on, and some even refused to take part in these exercises. By the way, Napolitano is the go-to person for these models.

Anyway, there is a fear that their own people won’t be loyal to them when everything begins to implode. You’ve been seeing purges lately. Remember what Jarrett supposedly said about being “hell to pay” after the re-election? That process has started.

DH: Those who have been “purged” – why haven’t we seen anyone speak out about what’s going on?

RB: They’ve been threatened. Some were not worth even being threatened and became “examples.”

DH: Like who?

RB: Oh c’mon, look at the recent mysterious deaths. Pick one.

DH: Okay, but wouldn’t they be safer by speaking out, by telling everything they know? Some ordinary people might call them cowards. Why not just go public [interrupted/over talk]

RB: Yeah, how’d that work out so far? And go public to who? CNN? They are in real danger, and so are their families. Anyone close to them. Even if one or two would go public, how do you think that would work out for them? I’ll tell you how. They would make [Senator] McCarthy look like an American hero, which he was, but that’s… They’ve made it so that no one will be able to make any real difference to their agenda. They know that.

DH: So no one is going to say anything – ever?

RB: That’s not what I said. Some will talk when the time is right. Some have “insurance policies” that will be used at the right time, when they will make the most difference.

DH: I feel like we’re getting off point. So, what is being planned?

RB: The DHS will oversee the domestic crackdown that will happen when the perfect storm bears down on us. And the perfect storm is the economy, meaning the U.S. dollar collapse and hyperinflation, racial or class riots sparked by a high-profile incident, and another mass causality event involving guns. Watch for these three things to happen all at once, or in close succession.

The polarization caused by these events will be sufficient to cause a second civil war.

DH: When? How soon will all of this happen?

RB: I don’t have a crystal ball, but I have seen various reports referencing unprecedented “drills” to take place in later March and April. I’ll mention this because I know a lot of people on the inside at DHS have seen this. A document called “Operation Thunderdome.” It’s maybe 50 or 60 pages, I’m not certain. It describes an economic collapse in the U.S., followed by an attack on the government by “a made-up patriotic group.” It combines gun owners, Constitutionalists, and even Christians into an enemy group that pulls off an attack in Washington.

But don’t fall into the trap of trying to pick the time of these events. Their plans are flexible, but their objectives are carved in stone.

DH: Sounds like a Reichstag type event - sometime.

RB: Exactly. Maybe not just one. They have plans and back-up plans and back-ups for the back-ups. And in spite of the warnings, and history, enough people will be outraged and side with the government. This brings me to my final point. What do you think all of the prepositioning of paramilitary assets, caches of ammunition, and the opening of non-descript buildings owned or leased by the federal government are for?

It’s for you and people like you. It’s for those who are turned in by their neighbors, friends, co-workers, and others who are hungry, broke and broken. What we are about to experience will be like it was during the Civil War, only worse. People will be outgunned, surveillance will be everywhere, and it will be much more difficult to hide and fight back. Not impossible, but more difficult.

DH: So you’re painting a picture of a Mad Max scenario, hence the reference to Thunderdome?

RB: Believe it or not, part of the model, or at least one of them,  includes the depiction of a somewhat “normal” society, at least after the initial “hostilities.” People will be controlled by the national government, centralized – in order to escape the chaos. Think of it this way. You want food and medical care? You will not be able to own a gun, period. The current federal legislation is all window dressing – a distraction. No one expects anything meaningful to pass. It won’t have to. States, yes, but those states are lining up for federal money. The elected leaders are of the same ideology as Obama, but aside from those, we’ll see many people turning in their weapons for food, shelter, medical care, and false guarantees of safety. That’s what the new normal will look like.

As I said, you’ve got to think bigger – much bigger. The lies are bigger than most people can imagine. The people at the top are laughing at us. Think about that. They are laughing at us because it’s right in front of our noses. And you know, the bigger the lie…

DH: Yes, the more people will fall for it.

RB: Right. I think we’re done here for now. I’ve given you as much information as I know, as I have seen. Watch the economy – the indicators. Watch for a false flag. We are being baited. Let people pooh-pooh this information, seek information through FOI requests. Not gonna happen. We’re talking about an operation so black and so big, and one that has to be done in the next few years, under Obama.

This is something that is international in scope. The plan is international, and is dedicated to the dismantling or destruction of America. It’s happening right in front of us, but too few can actually see it.

DH: I’m sure you, well… We’ll be accused of scaring people without citable evidence.

RB: People need to wake up. Believe me or don’t. It’s their choice.

DH: Wait, one more thing. What should we be looking for next?

RB: Look around. You’re seeing it. We’ll talk again. Please shut off the recorder.

DICK ACT of 1902... CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) - Protection Against Tyrannical Govern

DICK ACT of 1902... CAN'T BE REPEALED (GUN CONTROL FORBIDDEN) - Protection Against Tyrannical Government | KnowTheLies.com - The Truth is Hidden in Plain View...Listen to this article. Powered by Odiogo.com

 

The Dick Act of  1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654, of June  28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the  militia into three distinct and separate entities.
The three classes H.R. 11654  provides for are the organized militia, henceforth known as the National  Guard of the State, Territory and District of Columbia, the unorganized  militia and the regular army. The militia encompasses  every able-bodied male between the ages of 18 and 45. All members of the  unorganized militia have the absolute personal right and 2nd Amendment  right to keep and bear arms of any type, and as many as they can afford  to buy. The Dick Act of 1902 cannot  be repealed; to do so would violate bills of attainder and ex post facto  laws which would be yet another gross violation of the U.S.  Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The President of the  United States has zero authority without violating the Constitution to  call the National Guard to serve outside of their State borders. The National Guard Militia  can only be required by the National Government for limited purposes  specified in the Constitution (to uphold the laws of the Union; to  suppress insurrection and repel invasion). These are the only purposes for which the General Government can call upon the National Guard. Attorney General Wickersham  advised President Taft, "the Organized Militia (the National Guard) can  not be employed for offensive warfare outside the limits of the United  States." The Honorable William Gordon,  in a speech to the House on Thursday, October 4, 1917, proved that the  action of President Wilson in ordering the Organized Militia (the  National Guard) to fight a war in Europe was so blatantly  unconstitutional that he felt Wilson ought to have been impeached. During the war with England  an attempt was made by Congress to pass a bill authorizing the president  to draft 100,000 men between the ages of 18 and 45 to invade enemy  territory, Canada. The bill was defeated in  the House by Daniel Webster on the precise point that Congress had no  such power over the militia as to authorize it to empower the President  to draft them into the regular army and send them out of the country. The fact is that the  President has no constitutional right, under any circumstances, to draft  men from the militia to fight outside the borders of the USA, and not  even beyond the borders of their respective states. Today, we have a  constitutional LAW which still stands in waiting for the legislators to  obey the Constitution which they swore an oath to uphold. Charles Hughes of the  American Bar Association (ABA) made a speech which is contained in the  Appendix to Congressional Record, House, September 10, 1917, pages  6836-6840 which states:
"The militia, within the  meaning of these provisions of the Constitution is distinct from the  Army of the United States." In these pages we also find a statement made  by Daniel Webster, "that the great principle of the Constitution on  that subject is that the militia is the militia of the States and of the  General Government; and thus being the militia of the States, there is  no part of the Constitution worded with greater care and with more  scrupulous jealousy than that which grants and limits the power of  Congress over it."
"This limitation upon the  power to raise and support armies clearly establishes the intent and  purpose of the framers of the Constitution to limit the power to raise  and maintain a standing army to voluntary enlistment, because if the  unlimited power to draft and conscript was intended to be conferred, it  would have been a useless and puerile thing to limit the use of money  for that purpose. Conscripted armies can be  paid, but they are not required to be, and if it had been intended to  confer the extraordinary power to draft the bodies of citizens and send  them out of the country in direct conflict with the limitation upon the  use of the militia imposed by the same section and article, certainly  some restriction or limitation would have been imposed to restrain the  unlimited use of such power."
The Honorable William Gordon Congressional Record, House, Page 640 - 1917

Obama Eliminates Breakfast for US Troops in Afghanistan, Stuffs Own Face

Obama Eliminates Breakfast for US Troops in Afghanistan, Stuffs Own Face

Posted By: RumorMail [Send E-Mail] Date: Monday, 4-Feb-2013 18:23:35

How outrageous – when I was in the US Army – it was a requirement that they provide 3 hot meals a day unless in field. Failure to provide that was grounds for an immediate honorable discharge.

Stop giving our <snip> money away to foreign investments!

If only American soldiers in Afghanistan were unemployed Democratic voters in Chicago, then they might be getting three square meals a day from the government.

But the military is the one place that Obama feels comfortable slashing expenses. While spending at an uncontrollable rate unseen since the last days of the Roman Empire in every other area, Obama has been cutting “waste” in the military like 20,000 Marines, Tricare healthcare for veterans and breakfast for soldiers serving in areas where he would only venture accompanied by heavy firepower.

Warren Buffett and other crony capitalists can pig out on Obama’s trillion dollar deficits. As for the troops. Let them ear MRE’s.

The Army has stopped serving cooked breakfasts to some of the U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan as part of its drawdown, a move that prompted troops to write home asking their families and friends to send care packages with cereal, breakfast bars and other foods.

The Army told the Washington Guardian the current cutbacks began Jan. 1, and affect about 2,700 soldiers deployed in forward operating bases in more remote areas of Afghanistan.

The Washington Guardian reported earlier this month that the current budget crisis in Congress prompted Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to write a memo order preparations for sweeping budget cuts across all military programs to begin as early as next month.

Officials stressed other comforts at the forward operating bases may also soon be reduced, such as laundry and recreation, as officials look for other ways to reduce the American footprint in advance of departing the country.

They said the meal cutbacks are currently affecting forward operating bases in more remote areas of Afghanistan and not affecting the main American bases in Kabul and Kandahar.

Exit questions. How many cooked breakfasts for soldiers would Obama’s 20 million dollar Hawaii vacations and the 1.4 billion that his clan’s non-stop partying buy?

While American soldiers go hungry, here is what Obama and his corrupt cronies had for their inaugural lunch.

First Course: Steamed Lobster with New England Clam Chowder Sauce, Sautéed Spinach, Sweet Potato Hay

Second Course: Hickory-Grilled Bison with Red Potato Horseradish Cake, Butternut Squash Purée, Baby Golden Beets and Green Beans, Strawberry Preserve and Red Cabbage

Third Course: Hudson Valley Apple Pie with Sour Cream Ice Cream, Artisan Cheeses

Wines: Tierce Finger Lakes Dry Riesling (2010), Korbel Natural, Special Inaugural Cuvée California Champagne, Bedell Cellars Merlot (2009)

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were humanitarian social workers compare to Barack and Michelle Obama.

Obama Admin Looks To Control Americans' $19.4 Trillion In Retirement Accounts

Obama Admin Looks To Control Americans’ $19.4 Trillion In Retirement Accounts
Monday, February 4, 2013 10:02

by Tim Brown

Remember that old phrase, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help”? Well, it looks like we are hearing it again, at least on the issue of keeping Americans’ retirement funds safe. The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is weighing whether it should take on a role in ‘helping’ Americans manage the $19.4 trillion they have put into retirement savings. This would be the agency’s first incursion into the investments of consumers.

“That’s one of the things we’ve been exploring and are interested in in terms of whether and what authority we have,” said bureau director Richard Cordray.

He indicates that many people have had their credit damaged by financial crises, including the mortgage bubble bursting and other unexpected, emergency expenditures. “It may be because of things they did and it may just be because they suffered,” Cordray said. “You know if you lose your home because the rest of your block is foreclosed on, your credit history is affected.”

The bureau claims that it has a “concern” that many Americans, especially those retiring from the Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to scams that will rob them of their retirement. No mention was made about the current and ongoing scam of Social Security.

According to Bloomberg,

The retirement savings business in the U.S. is dominated by a group of companies that handle record-keeping and management of investments in tax-advantaged vehicles like 401(k) plans and individual retirement accounts. The group includes Fidelity Investments, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) and T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (TROW) Americans held $19.4 trillion in retirement assets as of Sept. 30, 2012, according to the Investment Company Institute, an industry association; about $3.5 trillion of that was in 401(k) plans.

The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Labor are the main regulators of U.S. retirement savings vehicles and funds. However, the consumer bureau — established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act — sees itself as a potential catalyst for promoting a coherent policy across the government, the people said.

Mark Calabria, director of financial regulation studies at the Cato Institute, said that he didn’t believe the Act gives the bureau specific jurisdiction over investments. However, he indicates that it could step in if other agencies don’t.

“I could imagine the CFPB growing into a role on investment savings if it seems like the SEC is asleep at the wheel,” Calabria said.

There is no doubt that the Federal government can’t manage it’s own fiscal issues and Social Security is a prime example, along with an inability to implement a budget, follow the enumerated powers on what they can spend on, and their utter inability to actually put forward any real spending cuts. So why on earth would anyone want to allow them to manage their retirement funds?

We Americans Are Tired Of 20 Million Illegal Aliens In Our Country

We Americans Are Tired Of 20 Million Illegal Aliens In Our Country
Monday, February 4, 2013 10:41
 

By Frosty Wooldridge

Whether 12 million illegal aliens or 20 million illegal aliens live, work and play in our country—we law-abiding American citizens grow tired of the excuses and platitudes for their jumping our borders.  They excuse themselves by saying, “I broke your laws to come here for a better life.”

They broke our laws in order to jump in front of the line of 10 million people waiting patiently to be processed into this country legally.

In other words, “I became a criminal by crossing your borders, but I want you to pay for my children’s education, their health care and I need food stamps to assist me in living illegally in your country.”

We, the lawful citizens of America, no longer find your excuses palpable, comforting or cogent.  If you come here for a better life, why don’t you stay where you come from and create a better life by your lawful actions to make your own country better?  How about standing in line for lawful entry?

We resent our language being changed to fit your language.  We sicken at our culture being forced to change to accommodate your culture.  We tire of you calling us “racists” and “xenophobes” because you broke our laws.

We find it distasteful that you birth your babies in our country and expect us to give you instant citizenship and we must pay for your babies.  It really sucks!

Another reader said, “I hope this explains some of the anger that is being seen in this country right now over the entire illegal immigration debacle. The American public is tired of being axed to death to provide services to a group of people who have NO right to be in this country in the first place. We are tired of making accommodations for people who do not respect the border, laws, traditions or the language of our homeland.

“We are tired of being told we are prejudiced and bigoted because we expect these people to follow the same rules our parents and grandparents followed in order to earn American citizenship. We are tired of walking into a store or calling a service center and being unable to converse with the clerk because they haven't bothered to learn the primary (at least for the moment) language spoken in the country they have chosen to live in. We are tired of having to learn to speak a FOREIGN language in order to get a job in America. We are fed up with having our elected 'representatives' refuse to listen to our demands for secure borders and immigration enforcement.

“We are tired of having some city leaders decide that the laws that govern the rest of the entire country do not apply to them. These sanctuary cities disobey those laws and still receive our tax money from the federal government. We want sane immigration laws but we want enforcement of the existing laws first. We don't want to have to compete with people who should not even be here for jobs and services. We are tired of waiting fourteen hours in the hospital emergency room while illegal aliens are receiving services for free that American citizens are expected to pay for.

“We are tired of being preyed upon by criminal illegal aliens and illegal alien gangs who then run back to Mexico (which harbors them and often will not send them back to face criminal prosecution). We are tired of Mexico (and Latin America) exporting it's poverty to our country and then living on the funds sent back to them from America.

“We are tired of Mexico refusing to do anything to improve the life of it's own citizens despite having two beautiful coastlines and more oil resources than Alaska. As long as American politicians refuse to stand up for America's right to have secure borders, this chaos will continue and Mexico will never become a country it's citizens want to live in.

“Basically it boils down to fundamental unfairness, systemized inequities being forced down our throats. We've had enough and will not stand for it any longer. That is the message that I hope will be heard by our elected representatives.”

If you are as sick and tired of the media and Congress and this president unfairly treating you, an American citizen, as if you committed the crime of trespass in your own country,  and you want to stop mass immigration and legalization of 20 million illegal aliens, please join these four organizations:

Government Protects Criminals by Attacking Whistleblowers

Government Protects Criminals by Attacking Whistleblowers

 

Washington’s Blog February 3, 2013

It’s now obvious to everyone that – even though criminal fraud dominates Wall Street – the Obama administration refuses to prosecute white collar crime.

Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton each prosecuted financial crime more aggressively than Barack Obama.

Of course, the lack of a fair and even-handed legal system destroys prosperity and leads to the breakdown of society.

National security claims are also used to keep financial fraud secret (and people who protest runaway criminality by the big banks are targeted as terrorists).  And when those in the private sector blow the whistle on potential crimes, they are targeted also.

But it’s not like the government isn’t aggressively using the legal system … it’s just using it to silence the truth.

Specifically, the Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all other presidentscombined.

Government employees also goes out of their way to smear whistleblowers, threaten reporters who discuss whistleblower information and harass honest analysts.

Indeed, even high-level government employees are in danger.

For example, after the head of the NSA’s spying program – William Binney – disclosed the fact that the U.S. was spying on everyone in the U.S. and storing the data forever, and that the U.S. was quickly becoming a totalitarian state, the Feds tried to scare him into shutting up:

[Numerous] FBI officers held a gun to Binney’s head as he stepped naked from the shower. He watched with his wife and youngest son as the FBI ransacked their home. Later Binney was separated from the rest of his family, and FBI officials pressured him to implicate one of the other complainants in criminal activity. During the raid, Binney attempted to report to FBI officials the crimes he had witnessed at NSA, in particular the NSA’s violation of the constitutional rights of all Americans. However, the FBI wasn’t interested in these disclosures. Instead, FBI officials seized Binney’s private computer, which to this day has not been returned despite the fact that he has not been charged with a crime.

Other NSA whistleblowers have also been subjected to armed raids and criminal prosecution.

After high-level CIA officer John Kiriakou blew the whistle on illegal CIA torture, the governmentprosecuted him for espionage.

Even the CIA director was targeted with extra-constitutional spying  and driven out of office.

In reality, the government is spying on Americans to crack down on dissent … not to keep us safe.

And the top interrogation experts from U.S. military and intelligence services say that all torture is lousy at producing actionable intelligence, and the U.S. used Communist torture techniquesspecifically aimed at creating false confessions in order to create a false justification for the Iraq war.  Indeed, torture doesn’t prevent terrorism but rather creates new terrorists.

And the “bad guys” knew about torture long before Kiriakou blew the whistle.  As a top U.S. air force interrogator notes:

I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.

As such, it is clear that the point of prosecuting whistleblowers is to protect those in power, not protect our country …

As former constitutional lawyer Glenn Greenwald notes:

The permanent US national security state has used extreme secrecy to shield its actions from democratic accountability ever since its creation after World War II. But those secrecy powers were dramatically escalated in the name of 9/11 and the War on Terror, such that most of what the US government now does of any significance is completely hidden from public knowledge. Two recent events – the sentencing last week of CIA torture whistleblower John Kirikaou to 30 months in prison and the invasive investigation to find the New York Times’ source for its reporting on the US role in launching cyberwarfare at Iran – demonstrate how devoted the Obama administrationis not only to maintaining, but increasing, these secrecy powers.

When WikiLeaks published hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables in 2010, government defenders were quick to insist that most of those documents were banal and uninteresting. And that’s true: most (though by no means all) of those cables contained nothing of significance. That, by itself, should have been a scandal. All of those documents were designated as “secret”, making it a crime for government officials to reveal their contents – despite how insignificant most of it was. That revealed how the US government reflexively – really automatically – hides anything and everything it does behind this wall of secrecy: they have made it a felony to reveal even the most inconsequential and pedestrian information about its actions.

This is why whistleblowing – or, if you prefer, unauthorized leaks of classified information – has become so vital to preserving any residual amounts of transparency. Given how subservient the federal judiciary is to government secrecy claims, it is not hyperbole to describe unauthorized leaks as the only real avenue remaining for learning about what the US government does – particularly for discovering the bad acts it commits. That is why the Obama administration is waging an unprecedented war against it – a war that continually escalates – and it is why it is so threatening.

To understand the Obama White House’s obsession with punishing leaks – as evidenced by its historically unprecedented war on whistleblowers – just consider how virtually every significant revelation of the bad acts of the US government over the last decade came from this process. Unauthorized leaks are how we learned about the Bush administration’s use of torture, the NSA’s illegal eavesdropping on Americans without the warrants required by the criminal law, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the secret network of CIA “black sites” beyond the reach of law or human rights monitoring, the targeting by Obama of a US citizen for assassination without due process, the re-definition of “militant” to mean “any military age male in a strike zone”, the video of a US Apache helicopter gunning down journalists and rescuers in Baghdad, the vastly under-counted civilians deaths caused by the war in Iraq, and the Obama administration’s campaign to pressure Germany and Spain to cease criminal investigations of the US torture regime.

In light of this, it should not be difficult to understand why the Obama administration is so fixated on intimidating whistleblowers and going far beyond any prior administration – including those of the secrecy-obsessed Richard Nixon and George W Bush – to plug all leaks. It’s because those methods are the only ones preventing the US government from doing whatever it wants in complete secrecy and without any accountability of any kind.

Silencing government sources is the key to disabling investigative journalism and a free press. That is why the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer told whistleblowing advocate Jesselyn Radack last April: “when our sources are prosecuted, the news-gathering process is criminalized, so it’s incumbent upon all journalists to speak up.”

Indeed, if you talk to leading investigative journalists they will tell you that the Obama war on whistleblowers has succeeded in intimidating not only journalists’ sources but also investigative journalists themselves. Just look at the way the DOJ has pursued and threatened with prison one of the most accomplished and institutionally protected investigative journalists in the country – James Risen – and it’s easy to see why the small amount of real journalism done in the US, most driven by unauthorized leaks, is being severely impeded. This morning’s Washington Post article on the DOJ’s email snooping to find the NYT’s Stuxnet source included this anonymous quote: “People are feeling less open to talking to reporters given this uptick. There is a definite chilling effect in government due to these investigations.”

For authoritarians who view assertions of government power as inherently valid and government claims as inherently true, none of this will be bothersome. Under that mentality, if the government decrees that something shall be secret, then it should be secret, and anyone who defies that dictate should be punished as a felon – or even a traitor. That view is typically accompanied by the belief that we can and should trust our leaders to be good and do good even if they exercise power in the dark, so that transparency is not only unnecessary but undesirable.

But the most basic precepts of human nature, political science, and the American founding teach that power exercised in the dark will be inevitably abused. Secrecy is the linchpin of abuse of power. That’s why those who wield political power are always driven to destroy methods of transparency. About this fact, Thomas Jefferson wrote in an 1804 letter to John Tyler[emphasis added]:

“Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues of truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is freedom of the press. It is therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions.”

About all that, Yale law professor David A Schultz observed: “For Jefferson, a free press was the tool of public criticism. It held public officials accountable, opening them up to the judgment of people who could decide whether the government was doing good or whether it had anything to hide. . . . A democratic and free society is dependent upon the media to inform.”

There should be no doubt that destroying this method of transparency – not protection of legitimate national security secrets- is the primary effect, and almost certainly the intent, of this unprecedented war on whistleblowers. Just consider the revelations that have prompted the Obama DOJ’s war on whistleblowers, whereby those who leak are not merely being prosecuted, but threatened with decades or even life in prison for “espionage” or “aiding the enemy”.

Does anyone believe it would be better if we remained ignorant about the massive waste, corruption and illegality plaguing the NSA’s secret domestic eavesdropping program (Thomas Drake); or the dangerously inept CIA effort to infiltrate the Iranian nuclear program but which ended up assisting that program (Jeffrey Sterling); or the overlooking of torture squads in Iraq, the gunning down of journalists and rescuers in Baghdad, or the pressure campaign to stop torture investigations in Spain and Germany (Bradley Manning); or the decision by Obama to wage cyberwar on Iran, which the Pentagon itself considers an act of war (current DOJ investigation)?

Like all of the Obama leak prosecutions – see here - none of those revelations resulted in any tangible harm, yet all revealed vital information about what our government was doing in secret. As long-time DC lawyer Abbe Lowell, who represents indicted whistleblower Stephen Kim, put it: what makes the Obama DOJ’s prosecutions historically unique is that they “don’t distinguish between bad people – people who spy for other governments, people who sell secrets for money – and people who are accused of having conversations and discussions”. Not only doesn’t it draw this distinction, but it is focused almost entirely on those who leak in order to expose wrongdoing and bring about transparency and accountability.

That is the primary impact of all of this. A Bloomberg report last October on this intimidation campaign summarized the objections this way: “the president’s crackdown chills dissent, curtails a free press and betrays Obama’s initial promise to ‘usher in a new era of open government.’”

The Obama administration does not dislike leaks of classified information. To the contrary, it is a prolific exploiter of exactly those types of leaks – when they can be used to propagandize the citizenry to glorify the president’s image as a tough guy, advance his political goals or produce a multi-million-dollar Hollywood film about his greatest conquest. Leaks are only objectionable when they undercut that propaganda by exposing government deceit, corruption and illegality.

***

As FAIR put it this week, whatever else is true: “The only person to do time for the CIA’s torture policies appears to be a guy who spoke publicly about them, not any of the people who did the actual torturing.”

Despite zero evidence of any harm from his disclosures, the federal judge presiding over his case – the reliably government-subservient US District Judge Leonie Brinkema – said she “would have given Kiriakou much more time if she could.” As usual, the only real criminals in the government are those who expose or condemn its wrongdoing.

Exactly the same happened with revelations by the New York Times of the illegal Bush NSA warrantless eavesdropping program. None of the officials who eavesdropped on Americans without the warrants required by law were prosecuted. The telecoms that illegally cooperated were retroactively immunized from all legal accountability by the US Congress. The only person to suffer recriminations from that scandal was Thomas Tamm, the mid-level DOJ official who discovered the program and told the New York Times about it, and then had his life ruined with vindictive investigations.

This Obama whistleblower war has nothing to do with national security. It has nothing to do with punishing those who harm the country with espionage or treason.

It has everything to do with destroying those who expose high-level government wrongdoing. It is particularly devoted to preserving the government’s ability to abuse its power in secret by intimidating and deterring future acts of whistleblowing and impeding investigative journalism. This Obama whistleblower war continues to escalate because it triggers no objections from Republicans (who always adore government secrecy) or Democrats (who always adore what Obama does), but most of all because it triggers so few objections from media outlets, which – at least in theory – suffer the most from what is being done.

And see this.

When the government acts like a “protection racket” – and pretends that the truth is too complicated or dangerous for the public to know – we’re in real trouble.

As Kiriakou points out:

President Obama just like president Bush has made a conscious decision to allow the torturers, to allow the people who conceived of the tortures and implemented the policy, to allow the people who destroyed the evidence of the torture and the attorneys who used specious legal analysis to approve of the torture to walk free.

***

In this post 9/11 atmosphere that we find ourselves in we have been losing our civil liberties incrementally over the last decade to the point where we don’t even realize how much of a police state the United States has become.Ten years ago the thought of the National Security Agency spying on American citizens and intercepting their emails would have been anathema to Americans and now it’s just a part of normal business.

The idea that our government would be using drone aircraft to assassinate American citizens who have never seen the inside of a courtroom, who have never been charged with a crime and have not had due process which is their constitutional right would have been unthinkable. And it is something now that happens every year, every so often, every few weeks, every few months and there is no public outrage. I think this is a very dangerous development.

Federal Reserve Money Printing Is The Real Reason Why The Stock Market Is Soaring

Federal Reserve Money Printing Is The Real Reason Why The Stock Market Is Soaring

By Michael, on January 28th, 2013

Federal Reserve Money Printing Is The Real Reason Why The Stock Market Is Soaring

     You can thank the reckless money printing that the Federal Reserve has been doing for the incredible bull market that we have seen in recent months.  When the Federal Reserve does more "quantitative easing", it is the financial markets that benefit the most.  The Dow and the S&P 500 have both hit levels not seen since 2007 this month, and many analysts are projecting that 2013 will be a banner year for stocks.  But is a rising stock market really a sign that the overall economy is rapidly improving as many are suggesting?  Of course not.  Just because the Federal Reserve has inflated another false stock market bubble with a bunch of funny money does not mean that the U.S. economy is in great shape.  In fact, the truth is that things just keep getting worse for average Americans.  The percentage of working age Americans with a job has fallen from 60.6% to 58.6% while Barack Obama has been president, 40 percent of all American workers are making $20,000 a year or less, median household income has declined for four years in a row, and poverty in the United States is absolutely exploding.  So quantitative easing has definitely not made things better for the middle class.  But all of the money printing that the Fed has been doing has worked out wonderfully for Wall Street.  Profits are soaring at Goldman Sachs and luxury estates in the Hamptons are selling briskly.  Unfortunately, this is how things work in America these days.  Our "leaders" seem far more concerned with the welfare of Wall Street than they do about the welfare of the American people.  When things get rocky, their first priority always seems to be to do whatever it takes to pump up the financial markets.

When QE3 was announced, it was heralded as the grand solution to all of our economic problems.  But the truth is that those running things knew exactly what it would do.  Quantitative easing always pumps up the financial markets, and that overwhelmingly benefits those that are wealthy.  In fact, a while back a CNBC article discussed a very interesting study from the Bank of England which showed a clear correlation between quantitative easing and rising stock prices...

It said that the Bank of England’s policies of quantitative easing – similar to the Fed’s – had benefited mainly the wealthy.

Specifically, it said that its QE program had boosted the value of stocks and bonds by 26 percent, or about $970 billion. It said that about 40 percent of those gains went to the richest 5 percent of British households.

Many said the BOE's easing added to social anger and unrest. Dhaval Joshi, of BCA Research wrote that  “QE cash ends up overwhelmingly in profits, thereby exacerbating already extreme income inequality and the consequent social tensions that arise from it."

So should we be surprised that stocks are now the highest that they have been in more than 5 years?

Of course not.

And who benefits from this?

The wealthy do.  In fact, 82 percent of all individually held stocks are owned by the wealthiest 5 percent of all Americans.

Unfortunately, all of this reckless money printing has a very negative impact on all the rest of us.  When the Fed floods the financial system with money, that causes inflation.  That means that the cost of living has gone up even though your paycheck may not have.

If you go to the supermarket frequently, you know exactly what I am talking about.  The new "sale prices" are what the old "regular prices" used to be.  They keep shrinking many of the package sizes in order to try to hide the inflation, but I don't think many people are fooled.  Our food dollars are not stretching nearly as far as they used to, and we can blame the Federal Reserve for that.

For much more on rising prices in America, please see this article: "Somebody Should Start The ‘Stuff Costs Too Much’ Party".

Sadly, this is what the Federal Reserve does.  The system was designed to create inflation.  Before the Federal Reserve came into existence, the United States never had an ongoing problem with inflation.  But since the Fed was created, the United States has endured constant inflation.  In fact, we have come to accept it as "normal".  Just check out the amazing chart in the video posted below...

 

The chart in that video kind of reminds me of a chart that I shared in a previous article...

Hyperinflation Weimar Republic

Not that I expect the United States to enter a period of hyperinflation in the near future.

Actually, despite all of the reckless money printing that the Fed has been doing, I expect that at some point we are going to see another wave of panic hit the financial markets like we saw back in 2008.  The false stock market bubble will burst, major banks will fail and the financial system will implode.  It could unfold something like this...

1 - A derivatives panic hits the "too big to fail" banks.

2 - Financial markets all over the globe crash.

3 - The credit markets freeze up.

4 - Economic activity in the United States starts to grind to a halt.

5 - Unemployment rises above 20 percent and mortgage defaults soar to unprecedented levels.

6 - Tax revenues fall dramatically and austerity measures are implemented by the federal government, state governments and local governments.

7 - The rest of the globe rapidly loses confidence in the U.S. financial system and begins to dump U.S. debt and U.S. dollars.

I write about derivatives a lot, because they are one of the greatest threats that the global financial system is facing.  In fact, right now a derivatives scandal is threatening to take down the oldest bank in the world...

Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, the world’s oldest bank, was making loans when Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci were young men and before Columbus sailed to the New World. The bank survived the Italian War, which saw Siena’s surrender to Spain in 1555, the Napoleonic campaign, the Second World War and assorted bouts of plague and poverty.

But MPS may not survive the twin threats of a gruesomely expensive takeover gone bad and a derivatives scandal that may result in legal action against the bank’s former executives. After five centuries of independence, MPS may have to be nationalized as its losses soar and its value sinks.

So when you hear the word "derivatives" in the news, pay close attention.  The bankers have turned our financial system into a giant casino, and at some point the entire house of cards is going to come crashing down.

In response to the coming financial crisis, I believe that our "leaders" will eventually resort to money printing unlike anything we have ever seen before in a desperate attempt to resuscitate the system.  When that happens, I believe that we will see the kind of rampant inflation that so many people have been warning about.

So what do you think about all of this?

Do you believe that Federal Reserve money printing is the real reason why the stock market is soaring?
