OBAMA IS NOT IGNORANT OF THE CONSTITUTION NOR IS HE “IN OVER HIS HEAD”

Obama is NOT Ignorant of the Constitution nor Is He “in Over His Head”

By Scott Ryan

Some are aware that Barack Obama seems to be working to set up what is now just a shadow organization that may be likened to The People’s Commissariat for Internal Affairs. 

That was the name of the public and secret police organization of the Soviet Union that directly executed the rule of power of the Soviets, including political repression, during the era of Joseph Stalin.  Perhaps he plans to save this database for some time after a planned coup d’état.

We have seen hints of this in his surreptitious call for good Marxist “Democrats” to actually –report- American citizens who criticize him at their website AttackWatch.com

I have to wonder if I have been “reported” as just a few weeks ago, I produced a video titled: President Trojan Horse’s Sleight of Hand Games.

Then, just a day ago news came out that Obama likened the House budget to a “Trojan horse” to “impose a radical vision on our country.”

His genius for evil is unparalleled. He can play a nation like Lucifer himself. He can accuse others of things of which he is guilty like calling Paul Ryan’s plan a “Trojan Horse”, while he himself is the genuine Trojan horse – and he gets away with it. There’s satisfaction in hurling invectives as we saw from the left when they would call Bush a “terrorist” and when they accused him of treason… That’s the evil genius of Satan. Those words lost their meaning BEFORE Obama took Office.

So NOW, when Obama TRULY Commits treasonous acts of terror and betrayal on a daily basis – he is inoculated because every time he commits those acts in front of the nation and God-fearing patriots aptly describe it as such, the talking heads in the national media say “oh, they’re just playing politics; there’s rancor on both sides.”  

We have come to the place where it is essentially useless to expose treachery for what it is because no matter how egregious the assault, when anyone attempts to accurately describe it, the result is as though one is crying wolf.  The amazing thing is that the Democrat Party were the people who did the repeated crying of wolf. 

I do not believe that is the least bit coincidental.  They got us to the place during the Bush administration where they caused people to tune out reality.  The end result may be that we are like the proverbial frog in a gradually heating pot of water that will boil to death.

Even now, 35% of the GOP apparently agrees with Mitt Romney’s repeated contention that Barack Obama is a “well meaning” American who is merely “in over his head” and that he “doesn’t UNDERSTAND the Constitution”.

Barack Obama isn’t ignorant of the Constitution; he understands it just as well as anyone.  He just despises it. Like all Marxists and like his pastors Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan, Obama despises the United States. He despises Jesus Christ, the bride of Christ (the church) which is the charter upon which this stands.

He can violate our constitution and take abuse of Americans to new depths – yet he will continue without any legal animadversion because this nation has been so desensitized toward evil. Evil is now celebrated as good while good is regarded as evil, and those who stand against evil are persecuted by the left.

To judge Obama as naive, inexperienced, or ignorant is to grossly underestimate him. He has mastered evil so adroitly it is seemingly supernatural – and it very well may be.

AMERICA’S MOST BIBLICALLY-HOSTILE U. S. PRESIDENT

America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President

By David Barton

When one observes President Obama’s unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.

Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.

1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:

• April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they “cling to guns or religion” and have an “antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” ¹
• February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011. ²
• April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name be covered when he is making his speech. ³
• May 2009 – Obama declines to host services for the National Prayer Day (a day established by federal law) at the White House. ⁴
• April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three. ⁵
• October 19, 2010 – Obama begins deliberately omitting the phrase about “the Creator” when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions. ⁶
• November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E pluribus unum” rather than “In God We Trust” as established by federal law. ⁷
• January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court. ⁸
• February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. ⁹
• April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring. ¹⁰
• August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception. ¹¹
• November 2011 – Obama opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial. ¹²
• November 2011 – Unlike previous presidents, Obama studiously avoids any religious references in his Thanksgiving speech. ¹³

• January 2012 – The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis. ¹⁵
• February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion. ¹⁶

2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith:

• June 2011 – The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery. ¹⁷
• August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD – a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except America). ¹⁸
• September 2011 – Air Force Chief of Staff prohibits commanders from notifying airmen of programs and services available to them from chaplains. ¹⁹
• September 2011 – The Army issues guidelines for Walter Reed Medical Center stipulating that “No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.” ²⁰
• November 2011 – The Air Force Academy rescinds support for Operation Christmas Child, a program to send holiday gifts to impoverished children across the world, because the program is run by a Christian charity. ²¹
• November 2011 – The Air Force Academy pays $80,000 to add a Stonehenge-like worship center for pagans, druids, witches and Wiccans. ²²
• February 2012 – The U. S. Military Academy at West Point disinvites three star Army general and decorated war hero Lieutenant General William G. (“Jerry”) Boykin (retired) from speaking at an event because he is an outspoken Christian. ²³

3. Acts of hostility toward Biblical values:

• January 2009 – Obama lifts restrictions on U.S. government funding for groups that provide abortion services or counseling abroad, forcing taxpayers to fund pro-abortion groups that either promote or perform abortions in other nations. ²⁶
• January 2009 – President Obama’s nominee for deputy secretary of state asserts that American taxpayers are required to pay for abortions and that limits on abortion funding are unconstitutional. ²⁷
• March 2009 – The Obama administration shut out pro-life groups from attending a White House-sponsored health care summit. ²⁸
• March 2009 – Obama orders taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research. ²⁹
• March 2009 – Obama gave $50 million for the UNFPA, the UN population agency that promotes abortion and works closely with Chinese population control officials who use forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations. ³⁰
• May 2009 – The White House budget eliminates all funding for abstinence-only education and replaces it with “comprehensive” sexual education, repeatedly proven to increase teen pregnancies and abortions. ³¹ He continues the deletion in subsequent budgets. ³²
• May 2009 – Obama officials assemble a terrorism dictionary calling pro-life advocates violent and charging that they use racism in their “criminal” activities. ³³
• July 2009 – The Obama administration illegally extends federal benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service and Executive Branch employees, in direction violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. ³⁴

• July 2011 – Obama allows homosexuals to serve openly in the military, reversing a policy originally instituted by George Washington in March 1778. ⁴¹
• September 2011 – The Pentagon directs that military chaplains may perform same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. ⁴²
• October 2011 – The Obama administration eliminates federal grants to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for their extensive programs that aid victims of human trafficking because the Catholic Church is anti-abortion. ⁴³

4. Acts of preferentialism for Islam:

• May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan. ⁴⁴
• April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community. ⁴⁵
• April 2010 – The Obama administration requires rewriting of government documents and a change in administration vocabulary to remove terms that are deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical Islamic, etc. ⁴⁶
• August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly of Christianity. ⁴⁷
• August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the same time he was silent about a Christian church being denied permission to rebuild at that location. ⁴⁸
• 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. ⁴⁹
• October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’ access to the White House. ⁵⁰
• February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, ⁵¹ but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do. ⁵²

Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.

BREITBART’S DEATH NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FOR THE SAKE AND SAFETY OF ALL JOURNALISTS

Breitbart’s Death Needs to Be Investigated for the Sake and Safety of All Journalists

By Andrew Steele

A month ago, while speaking at CPAC, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart bragged to his audience about having incriminating videos of Barack Obama that would sink the president’s reelection campaign.  Later he told Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News “Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”

On March 1st, shortly after midnight, Andrew Breitbart was dead at the age of 43.  Even before there was an autopsy the media was quick to assure the shocked public that Breitbart had died of “natural causes”.  Conservative, and even some liberal, mouthpieces shared their fond memories of Breitbart on television and in opinion pieces, while others– like Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone– happily basked in the death of their ideological rival.

Breitbart’s final hours were described to The Hollywood Reporter by Arthur Sando, who is a publicity and marketing executive for the dietary supplement company MonaVie and has worked for several large television networks in the past.  According to Sando, Breitbart walked into The Brentwood– a restaurant and bar in L.A.– and sat down next to him.  Sando recognized Breitbart due to his fame and they engaged in a discussion for about two hours.  Sando said that Breitbart was “friendly and engaging” and that he had stopped at the bar for a drink but hadn’t come there to meet anyone in particular.  Breitbart didn’t drink excessively, according to Sando’s account, was on his blackberry a lot, and didn’t exhibit any signs of health or other problems.  Before Breitbart left they exchanged contact information and planned on getting together.

Later that night (at about 12:30 or 1 a.m) Breitbart was found on the sidewalk near his Westwood home after having collapsed, according to his father-in-law, Orson Bean.

“He was walking near the house somewhere…. He was taken by paramedics to UCLA and they couldn’t revive him,” said Bean.

Other reports mention that a neighbor saw Breitbart collapse.

As of this writing the results of the autopsy are still pending.

Though Breitbart was no spring chicken, at 43 he was still young enough for his death to be considered untimely.  It’s been reported that Breitbart had heart problems (I have yet to find any source detailing what specific heart problems he had, however).  His editor in chief Joel Pollak spoke to Carol Felsenthal for a piece that was posted on The Hill.  Though Felsenthal wrote that Pollak never said so specifically, she claimed he indicated that he thought Breitbart died of natural causes.

Yet in that piece Pollack was quoted as saying:

“Andrew was the picture of health. I had a conversation with someone who had been with Andrew on the day before he died and this person told me, ‘Andrew looked so good.’ He went to the gym the day he died, he was losing weight, he was healthy and robust.”

Since Andrew Breitbart was adopted and his birth parents’ identities have not been disclosed to the general public, it’s currently unknown whether or not he had a genetic predisposition to early death due to heart disease or any other kind of ailment.

As the first suspicions were being raised about the amazing timing of Breitbart’s death– taking place in the first hour of the very day he planned to release allegedly controversial video footage– mainstream media columnists began their usual attacks on those voicing their suspicions, with slurs and insults but very few facts to reassure a rightfully distrustful public that Breitbart couldn’t possibly have been the victim of an assassination.  The nature of Breitbart’s death leads many to dismiss reasonable questions about the timing as “conspiracy theories” because indeed it is true that sometimes people unexpectedly die young of natural causes.  What usually comes to most people’s minds when imagining political murders are violent scenes in which a person is shot or quietly strangled, or some kind of traceable poison is slipped into his or her drink.  These kinds of scenes play out in movies and do little to inform the public of how terrifyingly simple it is for a person with the right resources to murder another and make it look like a natural death, leaving behind no trace of the crime whatsoever.

It is indeed possible to make somebody to have a heart attack.

As far back as 1975, during the Church Committee hearings, it was revealed that the CIA had developed a poison that could cause a person to have a sudden heart attack. They froze the poison into the shape of a dart and fired it at high speed from a pistol so that it would go right through the clothes of the person who was shot, melt, and be absorbed into the body and blood to initiate the heart attack, leaving nothing but a small red mark on the body. The poison was developed in such a way that it was undetectable by the autopsy procedures of the time.

Again, Breitbart’s official cause of death hasn’t been released yet, however a heart attack is the explanation that the media seems to be herding the public towards.  This is just one example of a weapon that came to light many decades ago, reluctantly revealed to a committee investigating the activities of American intelligence services.  It’s a testament to what the U.S. government was capable of in 1975, and says nothing of how that technology has been improved thirty-seven years later, or what nasty devices and poisons they managed to keep secret.

Of course, an order to kill Breitbart need not have even come directly from the White House.  It could have come from parties interested in seeing that the President stay in office.  Certainly if the CIA can figure out how to kill a person in a cleverly untraceable way, so can the organizations of powerful people who may have copied the CIA’s methods and technology or even had it directly given to them at one point or another.

It’s on record that in the past the U.S. government has worked with the mob.

Under “Operation Underworld” the U.S. government cooperated with organized crime figures during World War 2 to counter Axis spies and saboteurs along the U.S. northeastern seaboard ports, avoid labor union strikes, and fight theft by black-marketeers of war supplies.

The CIA also utilized members of the mob in plotting to kill Fidel Castro.

As the article “The Plots to Kill Castro” by Edward Jay Epstein, (published in the June 2000 issue of GEORGE) explains, investigations by the CIA’s Inspector General in 1967 and the Church Committee 1975 revealed that there were at least eight separate plots to kill the Cuban leader starting in 1960. Seeking to arrange less expensive ways to carry out the deed, the CIA saw an advantage in employing the mob because of its contacts in the Cuban underworld, and because if the assassins were killed or captured, Castro’s well known actions against the mob in closing down its enterprises in Cuba and the animosity created as a result would provide the CIA a degree of separation from the hit and plausible deniability.

For working with the CIA, the mob members involved in the plot got protection from FBI investigations into their criminal activities at home.

From that article:

“Rosselli proposed a simple plan: through its underworld connections in Cuba, the Mafia would recruit a Cuban in Castro’s entourage, such as a waiter or bodyguard, who would poison Castro. The CIA’s Technical Services Division, informally known as its “workshop,” was given the job of producing and testing on monkeys an untraceable poison. It came up with a botulinus toxin that the CIA’s Office of Medical Services then injected into Castro’s favorite brand cigars. It also produced simpler botulinus toxin pills that could be dissolved in his food or drink. But the deputized Mafia contacts failed to deliver any of the poisons to Castro. As Rosselli explained to the CIA, the first poisoner had been discharged from Castro’s employ before he could kill him, while a back-up agent got “cold feet.”

According to Mancow Muller– a conservative radio host and a friend of Breitbart– who spoke on the Alex Jones show, Breitbart had told him “The house of cards is coming down, I have information that will destroy Barack Obama, it’s over”.

Breitbart was ready to release his Obama college video on March 1st, yet it took his team until March 7th to get it out to the public. Though this might not be all that was on the video, Breitbart specifically mentioned during his CPAC speech that it would show that Obama met with a bunch of “silver ponytails” back in the 1980′s like Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn who said “One day we’re going to have the presidency”.

Why the alleged specifics of the video are important to mention is because after a week of waiting, what has been released and purported to be Breitbart’s scandalous video is mundane footage of a young Obama praising some professor at a public rally in 1991.

While Breitbart’s critics often argue that he distorted the views of his targets or left out material in order to take their words out of context, there is a huge difference between doing that and turning a boring speech on a sunny day about a professor into a meeting with radical people seeking to usurp the the nation through the presidency.  People will say many things about Andrew Breitbart, but he wasn’t stupid…not in the sense that he would outright lie about what he had and not expect his credibility and career to be in the toilet when a month later what he produced turned out to be something completely different and benign.  

This was not like the Shirley Sherrod incident in which the footage was edited in such a way that it changed the context of what was said.  This was a completely different video…like apples and chocolate cake.  Not only that, but there’s nothing  in the video that could even be debated as being politically damaging to Obama…just a preview of the same smooth talking, cookie cutter oratory Americans would find themselves listening to in 2008.

On top of all this, though the media has claimed that the footage was released by Harvard University Law School professor Charles Ogletree, who had kept the footage hidden during the 2008 campaign because he was an Obama supporter, in fact video of this exact same speech was included as part of a PBS special that aired in 2008.

Had similar circumstances happened to an outspoken critic of the national head of the Soviet Union during the 1970′s, Americans would have rightly cried foul and strongly suspected murder, even if the details of the alleged crime couldn’t immediately be pieced together.   Under the last few presidents, and now under Barack Obama, we’ve witnessed the United States government transform into an increasingly open dictatorship in which Americans can be killed or indefinitely detained on the President’s order, war can be waged solely based on the President’s command, and in which whistle blowers are persecuted and even prosecuted.

This is not about political ideology or whether or not you supported Andrew Breitbart’s views on certain issues, liked his personality, or agreed with his methods. This is about a man who died– a man who made many enemies and who was threatening to bring down the person who holds the most powerful official position in the world, as well as any people who had a stake in keeping him there.

If there’s even a chance Andrew Breitbart was murdered it must be fully and independently investigated, no matter what destination such an investigation might lead to.  An attack on Andrew Breitbart’s life would equate to attack on all political dissenters, both conservative and liberal . As human beings we owe it, not just to Andrew Breitbart but to ourselves and our own security, to shed further light on this strange event and to look out for each other, even if we don’t agree with all the world views our fellow bloggers and commentators hold.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

By Scott Ryan

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu,

It’s been almost one year ago since I last wrote you an open letter like this.  I just want to let you know that most Americans agree with your assessment on Iran and the consequences to both Israel and America if those savages procure nuclear weapons.

In a peculiar way, a large number of us look to you, as opposed to the current President of the United States as our legitimate leader in these perilous times.  We have much more in common since our nation was founded upon the belief that there is ONE God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Our nation was founded upon the word of the God of Israel.  His name permeates our founding documents and His laws are etched into our government buildings.

We have more in common with you because our current President of the United States and his Attorney General have waged war on our faith, our military, our schools and our families from the day he took office.

Another thing we have in common is that your people, God’s chosen, were in exile for many years and are constantly under attack by people who tell you that your country, given to you by a covenant by God Himself – is not yours.

We too are currently in a form of exile, being falsely maligned and attacked by enemies of God and our heritage, who tell us that our country is not ours despite a compact with our God dating back to 1620, known as the Mayflower Compact and our founding document in 1776, The Declaration of Independence. 

I just want to let you know that WE have your back; but as you WELL know – our President does not.  On that note, I just want to say that I understand why you publicly stated weeks ago that Israel reserves the right to attack Iran and will not notify the President of the United States.

The graciousness in the way you handled this is evidenced by the popular conjecture that the reason is that by not notifying “our” President is that you would exculpate the US from being blamed by Iran for complicity.  I can only speak for myself in saying that I don’t blame you for not trusting this President with valuable information as to when exactly you will attack.  If I were in your shoes and dealt with the brunt of Obama’s public insolence and duplicity toward Israel, I too would worry about a “tip off” to Iran.

Since Iran has never had any intentions of complying, time is of the essence.  As with the Iranian hostage crisis when President Reagan took office the hostages were released that very day.  We know the importance of having a President who recognizes the threat of Iran and one who has the character to tell the truth.

That is the kind of ally you know you can count on.  You need an ally in the US whom you know will never flip-flop depending on vicissitudes of the day.  It just so happens that your friends in the Republican Party who are daily criticized even by the moderate minority in our party – have two conservative candidates who you well know – believe in the ONE true God of Israel and have consistently been dependable on Issues concerning Israel.

One of them is Rick Santorum, who has stood up to ridicule by the “moderates” in our party for taking a stand for the beliefs he holds dear, which include the sovereignty of Israel and her God ordained right to exist.  Rick has taken the heat even though the majority of those in his Catholic denomination voted for the moderate of another faith altogether.  Rick has the steadfast support of the evangelical Christians who recognize that Israel was called by God – the Apple of His eye.

The other is Newt Gingrich, who has many of the characteristics of Winston Churchill.  Gingrich is a strong leader and has long been warning of the threat posed against Israel.

Israel would do well with either of these fine statesmen who represent the MAJORITY of the Republican Party by significant margin – as US President.

As we know that what Israel MUST do is inevitable, we hope that it happens soon.  When it happens, it will prevail as the most substantial debate in the world and it would be fitting that it should be at the forefront of the national debate as our nation’s leadership for the next 4-8 years is determined.

We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

THE DRUDGE WAR ON NEWT

The Drudge War on Newt

From Mark America

I’d like you to take a look at DrudgeReport.  There is an all-out war on Newt Gingrich, not merely by the left-wing media, but particularly on the right side of the political divide.  Drudge has run as many as nine negative articles about Gingrich simultaneously, but he is running few negative articles about Romney, and those he does run are only half-negative, so it’s becoming clear that Drudge is trying to manipulate the outcome in the direction of a result he prefers.  I surely hope conservatives realize that nobody in media is pure, because everybody has biases.  In the case of Drudge, his “developing” take-down story in the middle of last week over the ABC News Marianne Gingrich interview story was his first attempt to ruin Gingrich’s momentum.  When within hours, that attempt failed, making it clear nobody would buy the “big smear” story. Instead, Drudge backed off and began his “death by one-thousand cuts” strategy, and this is what you are now witnessing.

Drudge has learned the lesson well over his years as the prime link aggregation site on the Internet, and indeed, it could be said the term was invented to describe his page.  The problem with Drudge, and it has always been his problem, is that he editorializes in the way he places links to stories in order to manipulate his audience.  His all-out war on Gingrich is a perfect example.  He doesn’t need to write one negative word himself.  He merely decides which stories, where they are placed, and how long they will endure in that position on his page.  A week ago, on Thursday morning, you should have noticed if you visited his site that he was still pushing the Marianne Gingrich story despite the fact that it had already been debunked, and that story persisted as the lead on his page until Thursday night’s debate.  Ordinarily, top stories are not that long-lived on Drudge, but in the case of Gingrich, they go on and on and on.

It’s also the urgency he conveys to his audience.  As I pointed out during last week’s disgraceful episode, when the Gingrich daughters responded to the trash flooding the Drudge site in red letters accompanied by his flashing light symbol, I asked whether he would now treat the antithesis involving the Newt daughters with similar urgency.  Predictably, as was my point, he did not.  This unwillingness to give equal coverage of the debunking of a story indicates a bias, and while I’m accustomed to that coming from most media sources, to see it so openly on Drudge is a bit of a gut-punch.

It’s clear that this is a strategy to take down Newt, and whether he’s coordinating with others, or simply acting out his own political preferences is impossible to determine.  Thursday morning, he continues to run a story by Elliot Abrams from back in the 1980s when Newt was critical of Reagan’s State Department, primarily, but what Drudge fails to mention is that Abrams was the assistant Secretary of State who was under criticism by Gingrich at the time.  On the article itself, you need to flip to page two to learn this by reading the biographical note about Abrams if you didn’t already know it. Most people don’t, and most people don’t make it to page two.  Abrams is also a Council on Foreign Relations player, in case you didn’t know.

What all of this makes clear to me is what I’ve long suspected:  Drudge is part of the GOP’s establishment now.  I’ve had questions about some of the stories he’s placed on his site for years, but he’s the eight-hundred pound Internet gorilla, and there’s little a small voice can say about it.  Some of you will rightly note that he couldn’t run stories that don’t exist, but I will respond that he already has.  That was the meaning of the entire sad episode of last week with the ABC NEws/Marianne Gingrich story: There was no news there, but his placement and pushing of the theme made it a story.  Whether you prefer Gingrich, or any of the others, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that Drudge is definitely displaying his bias, whatever the motive.  This is why I have a fundamental distrust of big media, left or right, and it’s also why you shouldn’t be a headlines surfer.  Headlines are frequently misleading, and until you know the guts of a story, it’s best not to form conclusions, because it is too easy to be misled.  We’re all news consumers, but as with any other outlet, be it the “mainstream media” or Drudge, or even this site, you are best always to bear in mind that well-worn but too frequently unobserved phrase: Caveat emptor.

A WELCOMED DISTRACTION FOR MITT ROMNEY

A Welcomed Distraction for Mitt Romney

By Scott Ryan

Barack Obama is expected to pounce on Mitt Romney’s 14% tax rate during his State of the Union speech Tuesday night. In a Marketwatch column focusing on this topic, a discouraged Romney supporter named Michael commented that “Romney can’t get a break…”

Michael and Romney supporters like him have nothing to worry about because this expected attack by Obama is exactly what Romney -WANTS. We are in the midst of a GOP PRIMARY. If this were a general election, Mitt perhaps wouldn’t want this attack -BUT- right now it is a welcomed diversion.

A direct attack in a State of the Union speech would be an honor for Romney. It would give him special attention as though he is now recognized by Obama himself as his November opponent. Romney would HOPE this could serve as a “rallying cry” to get impressionable GOP voters to inadvertently participate in the charade.

Romney also needs a new media driven narrative to take the attention of GOP voters -AWAY- from his mortifying track record as a Governor and senatorial candidate.

Distracting the voters is what he has done for the past several months. At this point nobody wants to talk about Bain Capital yet he keeps trying to milk the non-issue for all he can. Here in Florida he continues running ads talking about the other candidates “attacking capitalism…” But he’s the only one talking about it. It’s a tactic similar to what you will see in this football video:

What you see here is a football player using theatrics to draw a penalty. After the whistle blows and the play is over, a defensive player of the Cleveland Browns, being provoked, ever so slightly pushes an offensive player (number 89 of the Cincinnati Bengals) and #89 throws himself backwards several feet, lands on his back and then does a back roll…

That’s similar to what Romney did with Newt when Newt made some comments about specific failed companies in which Bain invested. Mitt Romney runs on supposedly great business acumen. So for Newt to point out some examples where Romney failed, it is not by default an attack on the capitalist system. Romney, who has no political track record upon which to run (because it is all too embarrassing) seized upon an opportunity to create polarization. He then circumvented discussion of his political history.

This tax rate “controversy” will likely serve as the next version of the aforementioned strategy. Regardless of which GOP candidate you may support, most of us can agree it is ridiculous to contend that 14% isn’t ENOUGH to give these con artists in Washington. The answer isn’t that Mitt should pay MORE to the prodigals in Washington but rather EVERYONE ELSE should pay the same low rate as Mitt.

I can foresee the moderate Murdoch media going on a 24 hour a day campaign featuring Romney as a victim and subliminally manipulating viewers into joining the rally to Mitt’s defense… That’s the way they operate. They did it ad nauseum with the Bain non-issue turned controversy – and you can count on this being their next desperate campaign strategy.

I’ve maintained that Romney is Obama’s “dream opponent” because Romney would inoculate Obama on his most vulnerable weaknesses, having recently maintained the same positions as Obama when he was last in government.

If the Administration really makes an issue of this tax return, that is further confirmation that they are throwing Mitt’s campaign a bone with which to run.

TEBOW VS CAM NEWTON

Tebow vs Cam Newton

From elvisnixon.com

Tim Tebow and his Denver Bronco’s pulled off what is being described as a “miracle” upset against the Chicago Bears.

ESPN and others let out a collective groan almost as loud as they did after the tidal wave victory of Proposition 8 keeping marriage between one man and one woman (no bestiality, pedophiles or homosexual “marriage” would be endorsed by the state ofCalifornia).

If you listen to some of the sports commentators on the major sports TV and radio stations, Tebow (7-1 as a starter) is a “bum” and a “clown.”

Jim Rome claimed Tebow shouldn’t even be in the NFL, even as a back-up.

Interesting, “unbiased” analysis when one considers the other Heisman Trophy winning quarterback- Cameron Newton.

Cam Newton, 4-9 leading the Carolina Panthers, is talked about as the greatest thing since the forward pass.

Could it be anti-Christian politics and group-think biases influence the press, even in sports?

If you listen to Tebow himself, he is giving credit to everyone but himself and yes, this includes GOD. This is not complicated. Denver was 1 -4 before Tebow and 7 – 1 with him.

He is not winning all of these games for Denver himself. He is bringing an atmosphere of selflessness, team spirit and hope to Denver. Why does this make so many people so mad? God forbid we have a good role model.

If he were a homosexual, all of those words against him would be called “homophobia” and the politics of “hate and fear.”

Why all the hate and fear against this young man? The answer is simple.  He is a Christian.

Liberals hate him, which is why he is now my favorite player.

THE PSEUDO-SCIENTISTS ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF PROPAGANDA

The Pseudo-Scientists Are Back for Another Round of Propaganda

By Scott Ryan

They come out from under their rocks every time we have a few tornados and never miss an opening when it comes to exploiting popular ignorance. An AP column last Friday titled Science panel: Get ready for extreme weather opened by asserting – “Think of the Texas drought, floods in Thailand and Russia’s devastating heat waves as coming attractions in a warming world. That is the warning from top international climate scientists and disaster experts after meeting in Africa.”

And of course their thesis is that this weather is the fault of mankind.

They fail to mention that for the past year, the AUTHENTIC scientists have been detailing the fact that the sun is going through a cycle in which its north and south poles are literally inverting. This only happens every 11 years and it tends to be accompanied by intense solar activity.

AUTHENTIC scientists have also been detailing how for the past several months we have been and are projected to -further- experience large solar storms (as the sunspots serve as a portent) into 2012. They have warned that this could quite plausibly lead to major power and communication outages here on Earth.

Authentic scientists are talking about many interesting things taking place and most people don’t hear about them if they don’t fit the narrative of man-made global warming. There are some unusual occurrences taking place like the magnetic North Pole shifting at a unusually rapid pace, which recently forced runway closures at a major Florida Airport. These “climate scientists” haven’t yet figured out a clever way to blame it on man but I’m sure they are working on it.

Where were their voices when we BARELY even had a hurricane season this year?

These pseudo-scientists are little more than poseurs who are paid for by globalists with a Marxist agenda for America. For the aggressively anti-American agenda they collude to legislate, they should ultimately be tried for fraud and perhaps treason.

With basic sense and empirical evidence clearly against them and mounting evidence of fraud and tampering with scientific data, any acute person would assume that they are toast. Unfortunately not so, because they are not alone in their fraud against Americans. The pseudo-journalists and Hollywood daily wage war against basic sense and scientific method, thereby keeping the fraud alive.

It is unthinkable how so many people who fancy themselves intelligent and educated can be so blind to the clear fraud. But just like most victims of Ponzi schemes, they want to believe so badly they bend over backwards to convince themselves it is true.

Painful as it is, if you put yourself in their shoes, it is easier to understand their need to keep this alive. They may not have an equity stake in the carbon credit exchange like their puppet masters AL Gore and Barack Obama; however, they do have a great deal of their lives invested. This is what you could call “sweat equity”.

Everyone wants to feel their lives have some significance, even if they are atheists. They reject the possibility of the Judeo-Christian God because He has issued commandments to us for our own good, just like any decent parent does for their children. Like insolent children, they detest that God and His commandments because they contradict their lives of narcissism and debauchery.

What to do? To make it seem like their time here partying on Earth had any meaning, they revived this pagan religion of Earth worship. They need a cause for which to fight in order for their life stories to have any piquancy, so they created these superficial causes. It works out beautifully because not only can they still do anything they want without making any genuine sacrifices, they incorporate their debauchery into their worship.

We are ripe for such manipulation as a nation. People now have been so indoctrinated that they are willing to believe anything. Just look at these “Occupy Wall Street” vagrants. They are supposedly angry at the banks because of the bailouts yet they have nothing but veneration for the very people who essentially forced the banks to –take- the “bailout” tax dollars. That’s not to say the banks didn’t want the money but I don’t know of too many Americans, especially these protesting vagrants, who wouldn’t take the tax dollars if it were offered to them. In fact, that’s why they are angry. They want more than they are already getting. They are holding the signs that literally say “give US a bail out”.

The point is that indoctrinated people in America are angry and in no mood to utilize basic sense or logic of any kind. They choose the outcome they want, which is of course the one proffered by the leftists who promise them utopia without the threat of restraining their affinity for casual sex, drunkenness and unabated indolence. Hence, the unthinkable resilience of the global warming fraud that is ultimately synonymous with treason and destruction of freedom.

Jesse Ventura, a self-described FRIEND of Al Gore, recently produced a more than competent documentary on his show “Conspiracy Theory” (Ep. 3), in which he and his team chase these parasites all the way to China. I have long found myself at odds with Ventura’s views but I must say, he did a nice job on this investigative piece.

I recommend checking it out. You can view it online through Xfinnity or at http://www.conspiracytheoryjesseventura.com/page/3/

The weather is going to be getting worse over the next year and they know it. As Americans are more gullible than ever, be ready for an onslaught of exploitation like you have never before seen.

OBAMA’S AMERICA

Obama’s America

By Anonymous

The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama’s America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly.

It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.

It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person’s guaranteed liberties.

It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor.

It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.

Barack Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation ofAmerica.

CHARLIE CRIST REPUBLICANS SUPPORT MITT ROMNEY, WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

Charlie Crist Republicans Support Mitt Romney, what does that tell you?

By Dr. Rich Swier

It appears that supporters of former Governor Charlie Crist are aligning themselves with Mitt Romney. Perhaps the biggest indicator is the announcement that the Florida Finance Team co-Chair Mitt Romney is Gary Kompothecras.

According to a June 2010 column by Jeremy Wallace in Sarasota Herald-Tribune, “More than 300 people filled the beachfront estate of Gary and Elizabeth Kompothecras to support Crist, who in April announced he was dropping out of the Republican primary race against former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio to run as an independent.”

We are seeing “moderate” Republicans line up behind Romney.

Moderate Republican means different things to different people. For me it means putting pragmatism over principle. I recently attended a meeting of the Republican Club of Charlotte County and heard several members’ state that they love Newt Gingrich but think Mitt Romney is electable. I heard the same thing said about Charlie Crist when he was running for the U.S. Senate just before he jumped ship and went Independent. Some stuck with Charlie even after he threw the Republican Party of Florida under the bus. These same people are now coming out of the woodwork to support Mitt. What does that tell you?

I see the Republican primary race as wide open. I also believe each candidate has their own strengths and each has a few weaknesses. The greatest weakness of any candidate is their moderate stances or pragmatism when it comes to issues of importance. Mitt Romney is old news, a pragmatic politician and a very moderate Republican. Do Republicans inFloridawant another John McCain? I doubt it.

Do not forget that it was Charlie Crist’s endorsement of John McCain that propelled him into the lead in the 2008 presidential primary and gave us President Barack Obama. A moderate is the last thing the Republicans need to nominate. A principle conservative is the only choice.

I firmly believe there are only four conservatives running for President on the Republican ticket. They are Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich. All the others, and especially Mitt Romney, are also ran’s supported by the good old boy network.

Beware of Charlie Crist Republicans bearing gifts.
