    Obama and ACORN GPS Marking EVERY Front Door in America?

    By JB Williams  Wednesday, April 29, 2009

    Republican Senator Judd Gregg was Obama’s first choice for the Secretary of Commerce post, and Gregg was actually considering joining the Obama team, until he found out that control of the US Census was being stripped from the Commerce Department and placed under the direct control of White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel.

    Then, the same week that Americans learned that they were “domestic terrorists”—at least according to Obama’s new DHS (Department of Homeland Security),—if they own a bible, a pocket Constitution or guns, and still believe in Life, Liberty and Freedom, - they also learned that Obama’s Census Bureau had hired thousands of new temporary employees, equipped each with a handheld GPS computer and sent them out to mark GPS coordinates for every residential front door in America.

    Oddly, it was this same period that news was breaking of an international flu pandemic, suspected of being a weaponized strain of the virus never before seen, - and that Obama’s team still sees no need to close the US-Mexican border, despite the cross continental spread of a deadly illness now claiming American lives.

    Now, if any one of these events happened alone, one might not get too excited. But when a string of such events happen all at once, one begins to question the string of freedom and life threatening coincidences…

    I can’t resist the urge to question the authority and purpose behind such a BIG BROTHER initiative, when the official Census itself is not due to be taken until 2010…

    No imagination is required to think up a whole laundry list of evil that could be done with a nationwide GPS grid of coordinate’s markers painted on every private home across the country. But I was having trouble thinking up one good reason for it, even one legitimate use that would justify what must be a very expensive undertaking.

    According to one of the Census workers, who spoke with me on condition of anonymity, they must GPS mark the coordinates “within 40 ft of every front door” in America and they are supposed to complete that mission nation wide, within 90 days, by the end of July 2009.

    The workers were not told why they were GPS marking every front door. But a supervisor is sent out to follow them door-to-door, to make certain that no door is left unmarked. Every door will be marked by one employee, and then checked by a follow-up supervisor.

    So, I had to ask, why?

    Why does the Obama administration need or want the latitude and longitude coordinates for every home in America? Why the rush to GPS paint every home in the next 90 days? Why must the marker be within 40 ft of every front door? For what possible purpose does the Fed need GPS coordinates for every home, and under what authority do they have the right? Census workers, whom I asked, had the same holy-crap look on their faces that I had by then…

    ACORN signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States — currently believed to be more than 306 million people. But the count doesn’t take place until 2010… This is April 2009.

    Obama’s interest in an ACORN controlled 2010 Census, for the purpose of redistricting to the advantage of Democrats before the 2010 mid-term elections, comes as NO shock from a regime known for their heavy handed Rules for Radicals political strategies. But what does this have to do with GPS marking every home in the country?

    The 2% of Americans, who have served military duty at some point in life, are very familiar with the most common use of GPS target painting. The other 98% of Americans might want to pick up a book on the subject, such as The Precision Revolution: GPS and the Future of Aerial Warfare ...

    Their Authority?

    RightSoup.com has just about the only online report available on the matter, and they report, “Why does the government (and ACORN) need to have the GPS coordinates of your FRONT DOOR? Your house is probably on Google Maps already. But the front door? Sounds like a jackboot convenience to me. This is a developing story, and several reports of those who have already been visited by the GPS squad can be found in this forum thread.”

    If you challenge Census Bureau employees about the GPS marking of your private residence, you will be handed a preprinted explanation referring you to Sec. 223, Title 13, U.S. Code, Chapter 7, Subtitle 2, which explains the penalties for refusing to provide names and statistics of occupants when asked for by a census taker. This only applies when they are taking a census, (which will not be taken until next year), and the penalty for refusing to answer questions for a census is up to a $500 fine.

    However, since the actual Census is not due to be taken until 2010, nobody is asking for any information today. They are only GPS marking your front door today, and Sec. 223, Title 13, U.S. Code, Chapter 7, Subtitle 2 provides the Fed NO authority to GPS paint your front door.

    Best I can tell, the Fed has NO authority whatsoever, to paint the front door of every private residence in America. Still, that is exactly what they are doing. Now, the trillion dollar question is, why?

    A State of Emergency

    From Wikipedia - The Posse Comitatus Act is a United States federal law (18 U.S.C. § 1385) passed on June 16, 1878 after the end of Reconstruction, with the intention of substantially limiting the powers of the federal government to use the military for law enforcement. The Act prohibits most members of the federal uniformed services from exercising nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (such as states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.

    In short, the statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the National Guard operating under federal authority, from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States.

    As members of the military are sworn to protect and defend the Constitution and the American people against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, a federal order to do the exact opposite, and take aim at American citizens, would be a clear violation of the US Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, unless…

    US Military personnel are trained to follow orders. But they are also obligated to refuse any order deemed “unlawful.” In order to make such an order appear “lawful,” the federal government would first have to declare a national “state of emergency,” such as in the case of an international pandemic, which can be demonstrated to threaten the health and well-being of American citizens.

    Following a state of emergency declaration, a federal order for Martial Law would be expected, to allegedly provide law enforcement and security for citizens. This type of scenario can be followed by a presidential order to quarantine, disarm and contain American citizens in the name of national security, all of it, having the appearance of being “lawful.”

    Is this what is happening?

    Connecting the Dots

    Alone, individual events look concerning, but not conspiratorial. What about when you place the pieces of the puzzle together and take a look at the entire picture developing?

    Under this “theory,” how does the GPS marking of every private residence in the nation fit into the picture?

    I wish I knew… but I don’t!

    What I do know is this… Coincidences of this number and magnitude don’t happen. They certainly do not happen all at the same time, within hours or days of each other, out of the wild blue tin-foil hat heaven…

    I also know that people had better start asking the right people the right questions and demanding answers fast. Begin with asking the mainstream press why there has been no public notification of the federal governments GPS marking your front door?

    Then, I suggest contacting your local Census Bureau office immediately, and demanding an explanation as well as advice as to what law gives them the right to GPS paint every front door in America?

    I’d also recommend sending a copy of this column to your state and federal representative, demanding that they put a stop to it or explain why it’s necessary, and what law gives them the right?

    Unfortunately, we live in a moment of history when real events are much stranger than nutty conspiracy theories. The people have every right to know what is happening. But unless you demand to know, nobody’s talking!

    Bill Clinton sold US nuclear technology to Red China for a mere $300,000 in campaign contributions. The event landed Chinese bagman Johnny Chung in prison, but put Hillary Clinton in the US Senate, and now at the helm of the US State Department.

    Highly secured government servers are hacked daily. Soon, hackers will be able to grab a nation wide GPS grid map, marking the front door of every home in America.

    How much is a GPS grid of every American household worth to the enemies of America, both foreign and domestic? I’d estimate, PRICELESS!

    There is a foul odor resonating from the current regime in Washington DC and most Americans can smell it. Can most Americans gather the strength to do something about it?

    Oath Keepers, Resolution Address

    Oath Keepers, Resolution Address

    To the honorable members of the Senate and House of Representatives,
    and to the honorable Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, of the United States of America, in their separate capacities of our brothers and sisters in the public trust, of our own public servants, and of our fellow citizens, respectively, Greetings.

    We, a collection of your fellow Americans — [including active duty military service members, current serving police, veterans, and other] public servants and private citizens—, united by sworn oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, having voluntarily associated under the style of Oath Keepers, are met on Lexington Green on the 234th anniversary of that fateful day when better and truer men than ourselves, by their martial exertions and by their fidelity to Law and Liberty, forever consecrated this ground.

    We note with soberness that now, as then, our beloved Country confronts a profound and deepening crisis. Now, as then, that crisis is brought on chiefly by a long train of abuses and usurpations on the part of our public officers, who have come to habitually violate the oaths, on condition of which they hold their offices.

    We note, however, that this long-continued and gross infidelity on the part of others is only the proximate cause of our present, common American distress. We confess that now, unlike then, we ourselves may be complicit in the official lawlessness that is becoming general in all three branches, and at both levels, of our governments. We ourselves, in the orders that we have issued or carried out—either as officers or men of the standing National Armed Forces of our Republic, or as executive officers of our several States—; or in the statutes whose passage we have furthered—as members of our respective State Legislatures—, may have too little marked the bounds set by the Constitution that we swore to uphold. Moreover, we ourselves—in our original capacity of citizens—may, with our fellow citizens, have been too little vigilant in superintending the actions of our increasingly errant public servants. If so, we acknowledge our general and particular faults before God, before our sovereign masters and fellow citizens, and before our families and posterity. Yet, bold to hope that Nature’s God is still a God of Mercy, we humbly pray for His pardon, and for time to make amends and avert the consequences of our dereliction.

    We note that, at earlier times of similarly grave crisis, previous generations of Americans have mustered on Lexington Green, have pledged anew their official and private fidelity to the Constitution of the United States, and, in so doing, have rediscovered the path of escape from foreign intrigue, from domestic tyranny, and from disunion and lawlessness.

    We note that, in 1798, foreign intrigue had gone far to sow mutual suspicion and discord among fellow Americans, and aimed at the dissolution of our Union, while an imperious foreign power threatened to invade our shores. In that hour of crisis, the several Brigades of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts mustered in their turns on the Green where their fathers had fought before. Their officers publicly renewed their oaths to the Constitution of the United States. They thereupon directed unanimous patriotic addresses to the President of the United States, announcing the public renewal of their oaths, and assuring him of their fidelity to their sworn duty. In his reply to the officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, Militia of Massachusetts, then President John Adams noted with grateful and confident satisfaction that:

    "Oaths in this country are as yet universally considered as sacred obligations. That which you have taken and so solemnly repeated on that venerable spot, is an ample pledge of your sincerity and devotion to your country and its government."

    Unlike those ancient oath keepers, we are mustered this day in voluntary association, rather than in an official public capacity. Indeed, we confess with shame that, having with our fellow citizens utterly neglected for a century to attend to those militia institutions, for the perpetuation of which our Constitution so ably provides, and which, alone among all our constitutional institutions, it characterizes as necessary to the security of a free state, we are quite unprepared on this day to muster in our several regiments, brigades, and divisions in the particular official capacities most appropriate to the crisis at hand.

    Nevertheless, we note that many of our number do now serve, on condition of oaths to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, in our several offices or stations in the Armed Forces of the United States, [as police officers], or in the executive branches or Legislatures of our respective States. Most of those among us who do not now so stand in the public trust have so served in the past, on condition of similar oaths, which, if no longer enforceable against them by explicit law, yet make their moral force felt upon their American hearts today.

    We are pleased to announce to you that we have this day, on this hallowed ground and on this sacred anniversary, publicly and solemnly renewed the oaths required of us by the command of Article VI, Clause 3, of the Constitution of the United States. We have done so in the several forms which, according to our particular offices, the relevant Federal and State statutes prescribe, or, in the case of those no longer standing in the public trust, in the form of the following general oath:

    I, ___________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, [pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor]. So help me, God.

    As a testament of the earnestness of our oaths, as evidence that, in our own hearts, at least, oaths are as yet universally considered as sacred obligations, those among us who hold executive offices or stations at the Federal or State level have in counsel together identified ten unlawful orders which either ignorant, careless, or corrupted superior officers may conceivably issue to us in the future, which we cannot, consistent with the required oath to defend the Constitution of the United States, lawfully fulfill, and which—we have mutually and publicly pledged to each other this day—while we yet hold the public trust on condition of that oath, we will not attempt or pretend to fulfill, namely:

    1. We will NOT obey orders to disarm the American people.
    2. We will NOT obey orders to conduct warrantless searches of the American people.
    3. We will NOT obey orders to detain American citizens as “unlawful enemy combatants” or to subject them to military tribunal.
    4. We will NOT obey orders to impose martial law or a “state of emergency” on a State.
    5. We will NOT obey orders to invade and subjugate any State that asserts its sovereignty.
    6. We will NOT obey any order to blockade American cities, thus turning them into giant concentration camps.
    7. We will NOT obey any order to force American citizens into any form of detention camps under any pretext.
    8. We will NOT obey orders to assist or support the use of any foreign troops on U.S. soil against the American people to “keep the peace” or to “maintain control.”
    9. We will NOT obey any orders to confiscate the property of the American people, including food and other essential supplies.
    10.We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.

    As a similar testament to the earnestness of our oaths, those among us who serve as State Legislators, on condition of an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitutions of our several States, have publicly and mutually pledged to each other this day that we will introduce and promote the passage of such legislation in our own States as shall be consistent with our national and our State Constitutions and as we shall find best calculated to discountenance, to thwart the force of, and to protect the lives, liberties, and properties of our fellow State citizens against, all manner of unlawful Federal executive, legislative, and judicial usurpation and lawlessness, that we will, by our sacred votes, attempt to prevent the further passage in our own States of such unlawful statutes as encourage or facilitate such Federal usurpation and lawlessness, and that we will, by our votes, seek to repeal in our own States such existing unlawful statutes as do now encourage or facilitate such Federal usurpation and lawlessness.

    Finally, as a similar testament to the earnestness of our oaths, those among us who have resumed the stations of private citizens, have publicly and mutually pledged to each other this day that we will do all that pertains to our rightful station to more vigilantly superintend our public servants in all three branches and at both levels of our governments, to require of them that fidelity to their lawfully required oaths that is the condition of their offices, and that we will encourage our fellow citizens to likewise exercise a more vigilant and firm surperintendence of the public servants for whose lawful or lawless acts we bear, by the mutual covenant of our Constitutions, an ultimate responsibility before God, before each other, and before our posterity.

    Having now publicly renewed our lawfully required oaths, and in directing to you this our unanimous patriotic address, we urge you, the honorable members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States of America, to return to a conscientious faithfulness to your own oaths, to desist from passing statutes that presume to usurp powers not granted to the Congress, or the exercise of which is specifically proscribed to them, by the People of the United States in their Constitution, and to begin the task of repealing, with all deliberate care, those decades of lawless statutes that now profane our statute books.

    We urge you, the honorable Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to examine your own official acts and to pledge anew your own fidelity to the oaths, on condition of which you hold your offices. While we cannot presume to direct, we urge you, in your official capacities, in pursuance of your lawful duty to see to the lawful execution of duty by those under your authority, to challenge the uniformed members of your respective Services to publicly renew their own oaths on the anniversaries of the inception of your respective Services, on the anniversaries of signal battles, or on other appropriate occasions, and to earnestly encourage such members to acquaint themselves with the peerless genius manifest by their sovereign masters, the American People, in their Constitutional distribution of the powers of war and peace between the Executive and Legislature of their National government and between the National and State levels of their compound Republic; to study the weighty principles of justice, statecraft, and history’s wisdom that undergird this singular Constitutional architecture; to reflect on the incalculable blessings of unexampled liberty and independence that have accrued to their fathers from the lawful observance of these strictures, as well as on the incalculable losses of liberty and the dangers to their Union and Independence that, by every ambitious or careless violation of the same strictures now threaten their country and fellow citizens; to examine the fidelity which they have hitherto borne to their oaths and; to resolve on greater faithfulness to the Constitution’s commands in the future.

    Brothers and Sisters in the Public Trust, Our own Public Servants, Fellow Citizens: We remind you, as we remind ourselves, of the truth that Father Jefferson spoke to similarly errant public servants in a previous day, namely, in his Summary View of the Rights of British America:

    "The great principles of right and wrong are legible to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many counsellors. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest."

    To be faithful to a sworn oath is but to be honest. To be less than faithful to that oath is to perjure oneself, and to invite the punishment of that God whose name one has invoked in first swearing it. We resolve to be faithful. We urge you to a like fidelity.

    Adopted by unanimous consent by the OATH KEEPERS assembled on Lexington Green, Massachusetts, on the 19th of April in the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand and Nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.

    OBAMA'S 'RED' SPIRITUAL ADVISOR

    By David A. Noebel
    © 2009 

    El Salvador has officially joined the Red regimes of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Bolivia. South America is turning Red, dark Red, and little is being said to alert North Americans of the encroaching Red plague. Perhaps that's because North America is moving in the same direction. The president of the United States has surrounded himself with socialists, and some of those closest to him have had a part in turning South America Red.

    According to the Associated Press (March 17, 2009), Mauricio Funes, the presidential candidate of the Farbundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) is the new head of the nation of El Salvador. Behind Funes "is a party of former Marxist guerrillas that fought to overthrow U.S.-backed governments in the 1980s and whose rise to power has raised fears of a communist regime in the war-scarred Central American country."

    The AP admits "ex-guerrillas will almost certainly form part of the Funes government, including Vice President-elect Salvador Sanchez Ceren, a rebel commander-turned-congressman."

    And then there's the "drug" connection! Investor's Business Daily reports that "last May, the FMLN confessed to 'a relationship' with Colombia's drug-trafficking FARC Marxist terrorists after documents found on the computer of dead FARC chieftain Raul Reyes, killed in a 2008 raid, proved it" (March 16, 2009).

    Funes, of course, says he'll "govern moderately, more like Brazil 'socialist' President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva than Venezuela's radical [communist] Hugo Chavez." Of course, this is what the Nicaraguan communist Daniel Ortega said, too, before he displayed his communist "proletariat morality" by hugging the communist dictators Castro and Chavez. Ortega and all his South American pals are hard-core Marxist-Leninists.

    While all of this, of course, is relevant to an ardent free-market capitalist, what really frightens me is that Obama's latest announced "spiritual adviser" has had connections with all these Marxist regimes. And who is the president's latest adviser? The Rev. Jim Wallis.

    Frontpage Magazine (March 17, 2009) reports, "The most notable of [Obama's] spiritual advisers today is his friend of many years, Rev. Jim Wallis." Rev. Wallis admits that he and Obama have "been talking faith and politics for a long time." He was picked by Obama to draft the faith-based policies of his campaign at the Democratic National Convention in Denver last year. Why should this alarm us?

    First, Jim Wallis has had relationships with the communist Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES).

    Second, his "Witness for Peace" was an attempt to defend the Nicaraguan Sandinistas! Wallis, together with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright (Obama's former pastor of 20 years) "rallied support for the communist Nicaraguan regime and protested actions by the United States which supported the anti-communist Contra rebels" (Family World News, February 2009, p. 7).

    Milton Friedman's classic "Capitalism and Freedom" explains how individual liberty can only thrive when accompanied by economic liberty

    Third, Wallis and his Sojourners community of fellow-travelers believe Fidel Castro's Cuba, Hugo Chavez's Venezuela, Daniel Ortega's Nicaragua and the other revolutionary forces "restructuring socialist societies" are the communist paradises the United States needs to emulate in order to establish "social justice." Writing in the November 1983 issue of Sojourners, Jacob Laksin notes, "Jim Wallis and Jim Rice drafted what would become the charter of leftist activists committed to the proliferation of communist revolutions in Central America" (Laksin, "Sojourners: History, Activities and Agendas" in Discoverthenetworks.org., 2005).

    The ugly truth is Wallis wishes to see the destruction of the United States as a nation and in its place "a radical nonconformist community" patterned after the progressive, socialist commune he established in Washington, D.C., in 1971 (Laksin, Ibid.).

    "The Sojourners community," says Laksin, "actively embraced 'liberation theology,' rallying to the cause of communist regimes that had seized power with the promise of bringing about a revolutionary restructuring of society." Clark Pinnock, a disaffected former member of Sojourners, said that the community's members were "100 percent in favor of the Nicaraguan [communist] revolution" (Laksin, Ibid.).

    All this revolutionary activity in spite of the fact that today's Cuba, for example, has to import 84 percent of its food supply due to the socialistic mess of the agricultural system (150,000 oxen till the ground because tractors represent capitalism). However, in a move that looks more like capitalism than Marxism's state farms, "Raul Castro is moving to boost food production by putting more land under the control of private farmers" (The Weekly Standard, March 23, 2009).

    It appears that Raul Castro is learning what America's early pilgrims learned back in the 1620s! William Bradford noted in his "History of Plymouth Plantation" that once he canceled the pilgrims' socialistic experiment and provided each settler with a piece of property to till, starvation was averted. We can hope and pray that Raul Castro continues to implement more capitalistic policies and will learn firsthand the economic system that has brought more people out of poverty than any other in the history of the world. (See Rodney Stark, "The Victory of Reason.")

    Of course, Wallis should have learned the lessons of Plymouth Plantation early in his education, but may not have because our Secular Humanistic K-12 curricula delete most of the history of the pilgrims and the Mayflower Compact in an attempt to avoid acknowledging its "advancement of Christianity." (Sadly, one first-grade textbook that does include the pilgrims has them "praying to the Indians.")

    For years, Wallis has been in the forefront of the "evangelical" left and has been fêted at numerous evangelical colleges and seminaries. That seems to be the "in" thing right now. His publication Sojourners is piled high on these campuses for the reading pleasure of the naïve and foolish.


    Unbeknown to these colleges and seminaries is Wallis' Red background. He was the president of the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) while at Michigan State University. The SDS was the youth arm of the League for Industrial Democracy – the American counterpart to the British Fabian Society founded to promote socialism throughout the West. One of the League's mentors for years was Norman Thomas, who argued that "the American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened" (Google, Norman Thomas quotes). Another prominent League mentor was John Dewey, a signatory of the atheistic, socialistic 1933 "Humanist Manifesto." The SDS actually merits a chapter in Richard J. Ellis's work "The Dark Side of the Left: Illiberal Egalitarianism in America," published by the University of Kansas Press.

    In October of 1969, SDS original organizer Tom Hayden directed his followers to "set off on a rampage, smashing windows of parked cars, hurling rocks and bricks through apartment windows, and fighting with police." Hayden blamed the police for his violence even though later his followers "comforted themselves, because theirs was a violence to end all violence, a liberating and righteous violence that would rid the world of a system that deformed and destroyed people. Such glorious ends justified, even ennobled, violent means" (Ellis, p. 137).

    Ellis insists that the language of revolution and violent confrontation was evident throughout the ranks of the SDS. Jim Wallis was part and parcel of this pro-communist group of radicals and revolutionaries.

    Wallis' Sojourners enterprise has been a radical, socialistic undertaking from the start. Frontpage Magazine (March 17, 2009) says, "As one of its first acts, Sojourners formed a commune in the Washington, D.C., neighborhood of Southern Columbia Heights, where members shared their finances and participated in various activist campaigns that centered on attacking the U.S. foreign policy, denouncing American 'imperialism,' and extolling Marxist revolutionary movements in the Third World."

    Sojourners contributing editors included the radical Daniel "Pentagon Papers" Berrigan, Walter Brueggemann, James Hal Cone (author of the racist "Black Theology and Black Power" in which the white race is depicted as devils), Rosemary Radford Ruether (professor of Feminist Theology, Catholics for Choice, God is the feminine Gaia), Ron Sider, Cornel West and Garry Wills. Today, Sojourners' Board of Directors includes Wallis, Ron Sider, Brian McLaren and Bart Campolo.

    Over the years, Wallis has been pro-Vietcong and actually gloried in America's defeat in Vietnam. He said, "I don't know how else to express the quiet emotion that rushed through me when the news reports showed that the United States had finally been defeated in Vietnam" (Ronald H. Nash, "Why The Left Is Not Right," p. 58).

    However, like Jane Fonda, Wallis said next to nothing about the communist genocide that followed the wars in Vietnam and Cambodia. In fact, in a typical communist response, he criticized those fleeing Vietnam by boat as somehow attempting "to support their consumer habits in other lands" (Nash, p. 59).

    Wallis has been closely associated with Richard Barnet (former contributing editor of Sojourners) and the Institute for Policy Studies, a radical left-wing think tank supporting socialist revolutionaries around the world; Wallis had his book "The Soul of Politics" published by Orbis Books in 1994, a radical left-wing Roman Catholic publishing arm of the radical left-wing Maryknollers; Sojourner magazine has been a strong supporter of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and, indeed, has supported every left-wing, liberation theology cause around the world.

    And yes, Wallis portrays the evangelical right that happens to be pro-American and anti-communist "as members of the forces of darkness" (Nash, p. 66, 71). For Wallis, a good Christian is someone who is pro-communist and socialist, while a bad Christian is someone who is anti-communist and pro-capitalist. The cry of the Sojourners crowd is "social justice" for the poor and downtrodden – social justice being code for socialism/communism.

    I could not disagree more strongly. I contend that the Marxist-Leninist worldview is 100 percent contrary to biblical Christianity, and I document this extensively in my book "Understanding the Times." Further, communism is directly responsible for the murder of tens of millions of human beings, a slaughter documented by Stephane Courtois, et. al. in their 1999 book, "The Black Book on Communism" (Harvard University Press).

    I will attempt to be as kind and gentle as humanly possible and break the news to the Rev. Wallis and his "spiritual" advisee Barack Obama – socialism has never lifted the poor out of poverty. It has equally distributed poverty, but it has never been able to create the wealth that is partially responsible for lifting the poor out of poverty.

    I say "partially responsible" because one's worldview is even more important than wealth in reducing poverty. But socialism is a flawed idea, and it poisons the worldview of the people it influences. Our brothers on the evangelical left, who are concerned with the poor, need to read Theodore Dalrymple's "Life at the Bottom: The Worldview That Makes the Underclass." Although not a Christian, Dalrymple understands perfectly the importance of a proper worldview and its role in combating poverty, drugs, crime and broken families.

    Can we admit a hard truth? Christian capitalist Truett Cathy's Chic-fil-A has done more to fight poverty and help the poor than all the pronouncements of Jim Wallis, Ron Sider, Daniel Berrigan, Brian McLaren, Tony and Bart Campolo, and their entire crew of left-wing sociological and economic friends combined.

    Thomas Sowell explains, "It would be devastating to the egos of the intelligentsia to realize, much less admit, that businesses have done more to reduce poverty than all the intellectuals put together. Ultimately, it is only wealth that can reduce poverty, and most of the intelligentsia have no interest whatever in finding out what actions and policies increase the national wealth" (Capitalism Magazine, May 9, 2005).

    In fact, the intellectuals are the very ones who complain about those who do increase wealth. Again, Thomas Sowell speaks to this issue: "Think about the things that have improved our lives the most over the past century – medical advances, the transportation revolution, huge increases in consumer goods, dramatic improvements in housing, the computer revolution. The people who created these things – the doers – are not popular heroes. Our heroes are the talkers who complain about the doers."

    Socialism is built on a slogan: "What can government do for me today?" instead of "What can I do to better prepare myself to take care of myself in order to be a better Christian and servant of my Lord?" Preparation involves individual responsibility, traditional family values, education, love of God and neighbor, and compassion for the up-and-outers as well as the down-and-outers.

    Socialists stand against nearly every Christian, conservative principle imaginable. Compare the socialist agenda with Yale professor David Gelernter's summary of the conservative position – "the freedom of every American to make his own way, free speech on the radio and everywhere else, free elections for workers and other people ... freedom to acknowledge and celebrate the nation's rootedness in Christianity, Judaism and the Bible ... love of liberty and love of God" (National Review, March 23, 2009, p. 32).

    In 2006, Barack Obama was the keynote speaker at Jim Wallis' Call to Renewal conference, "Building a Covenant for a New America." Following his address, in an interview by the United Church News, he cited "the teachings of the UCC (United Church of Christ) as foundation stones for his political work." He said, "Just as my pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, welcomed me as a young man years ago, UCC churches across the country open their doors to millions of Americans each Sunday . ... I believe that democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal values. Social justice and national security are both universal values, values that may originate for some in their religious beliefs, but are shared by us all."

    What Americans can look forward to now that Rev. Wallis has the ear of the president is what Sojourners magazine has been peddling since 1971 – "advocating America's transformation into a socialist nation" (Accuracy in Media Research Report, May 1983, Section 19).

    Could it be that America, who turned her back on God by deciding that prayer and the Bible can no longer grace her public schools, but homosexuality (indeed the whole GLBTQ rainbow), abortion counseling and condoms in school colors are welcomed, is experiencing the very judgment of God? There are consequences for "forgetting God," as Solzhenitsyn noted about his mother country, Russia. These same consequences are piling up on the metro-sexual West in general and on the United States in particular.

    UNFULFILLED PROMISES

    JUST CHANGE THE NAME TO BARACK OBAMA
    And change name of Country to U.S.A.

    Hugo Chávez's Unfulfilled Promises

    Venezuelans and their neighbors would do well to compare Hugo Chávez's record to his rhetoric. In 1998, Chávez capitalized on public frustration and ran for the presidency on a strong anti-corruption(yep I heard that) platform, defeating Henrique Salas Romer, former Governor of the state of Carabobo, an excellent public manager but perceived as an elititist. Eight years later, Chávez's promises remain unfulfilled, and democracy has given way to an authoritarian regime in which the electoral system is totally under his control.

    ACORN TACTICS ANYONE??????

    Voting machines are controlled by a company, Smartmatic, with a very murky history. The Board of Directors of the Electoral Council is made up of Chávez's followers, and the electoral registry is highly unreliable. 39,000 voters are over 100 years old -- one lady appears to be 175 -- and 62 persons share the same name and birth date: Jose Gregorio Rodriguez Gonzalez, born April 8, 1962.

    Thanks to a combination of record oil income and minimal government transparency, Venezuelan corruption is at an all-time high. By incurring significant new national debt, Chávez obtained some $25 billion in fresh money to spend at his whim. That and oil sales have put over $200 billion into government coffers, but there is very little to show for it in the way of public works or effective social programs.
    HMMMMMM SORT OF LIKE THE BAIL OUT MONEY
    The bulk of the money remains unaccounted for, largely wasted or pocketed by bureaucrats and private buccaneers. Chávez squanders money abroad to acquire weapons and export his military-driven, anti-American revolution, and at home on political propaganda and populist social programs based on direct handouts to the poor.

    Since 2003, expenditures and foreign financial commitments have eaten up close to $30 billion. Venezuela has purchased about $5 billion of weapons from Russia, Spain and other countries; over $3 billion in bonds from Argentina; and spent about $20 billion in oil subsidies, donations and promises of programs for other countries in the region, notably Cuba and Bolivia.

    And Chávez's misguided effort to challenge U.S. influence in Latin America has only cost Venezuelans money. Since 2000, Venezuela has been providing oil to the Cuban government at subsidies of about $2.2 billion per year. Similarly, Chávez's unsuccessful campaign for a seat on the UN Security Council cost Venezuela over one billion dollars in financial commitments to governments from which he solicited support.

    DOES THE BELOW SOUND FAMILIAR

    Chávez has focused domestic spending on consolidating his political power. The government has given massive handouts through the so-called Misiones, social programs that provide Venezuelans an illusion of well-being at the expense of long-term, structural programs in education and health. Chávez has misused Venezuelan Central Bank funds, accepted illegal foreign financing for his presidential campaign, awarded government contracts without competition, and allowed the state-owned petroleum company to deteriorate.

    Corruption involves government ministers, Supreme Tribunal of Justice magistrates, Electoral Council directors, State Governors, government lawyers, military officers, and bankers and industrialists friendly to the government. At least three parallel government budgets exist today, only one of which is formal and subjected to “scrutiny” by a National Assembly, which is itself made up entirely of Chávez followers. The other two budgets are controlled directly by Chávez himself. The lack of transparency and accountability, the absence of institutional checks and balances, and the mediocrity of the top bureaucracy have enabled high levels of corruption.

    The results of this tragic situation are clear: in spite of its gigantic oil income, Venezuela stands today at the bottom of the development ladder in Latin America. Rankings of international organizations such as Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of the World report, the UN Human Development Index and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization show the country in a declining trend.

    On the eve of the presidential election, popular trust in the Venezuelan electoral system is so diminished and the magnitude of the crimes committed by Chávez has been so great that the opposition fears that Chávez will not give up power if he is defeated.

    Chávez promised to purge corruption, but it has dominated his government more than any other in Venezuela’s history. If the votes don’t add up in his favor on Sunday, odds are he’ll keep adding them until they do.

    Tyranny Watch: Obama Begins Process to Remove US Citizens’ Rights

    By Sher Zieve  Sunday, April 26, 2009

    While Barack Obama continues to protect and expand the rights of detained terrorist Islamist enemies of the USA, he has quickly begun the legalistic process of eliminating the rights of law-abiding US citizens.  Note:  This is but another phase of Obama turning the once US Republic into his own totalitarian state.

    Obama officially began his policy with a report—written and implemented by the Department of Homeland Security—that labels and classifies all US citizens who oppose him, voted or plan to vote for 3rd party candidates, display bumper stickers recommending said 3rd party candidates or are pro-life (therefore anti-abortion) as “right-wing extremists.” This is only one of an ever-increasing number of Obama attacks against the First Amendment.  Obama’s DHS Chief Napolitano has notified state and federal police forces that these individuals are to be monitored closely.  In fact, the Obama Administration’s intrigues against US citizens are becoming so egregious that even the left-leaning media outlet Associated Press is reporting on his latest attempt to undermine any remaining liberties in America.  The AP’s Mark Sherman writes in his article “Obama legal team wants defendants’ rights limited”:  “The Obama administration is asking the Supreme Court to overrule long-standing law that stops police from initiating questions unless a defendant’s lawyer is present, another stark example of the White House seeking to limit rather than expand rights.” The deletion of all Miranda rights in select cases (one suspects the select cases will be the legal persecution of conservatives and libertarians) will be next.

    Through his anti-Second Amendment US Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama is working toward limiting individuals’ ownership of guns and making ammunition almost impossible to obtain.  Holder’s secret “watch lists” ostensibly contain the names of the Obama opposition members and they would be denied legal gun ownership.  Holder is also calling for severe restrictions on the sale and tracking of guns and ammunition.  “Micro-stamping” of new guns sold is to begin implementation in California in 2010.  Second Amendment Foundation founder Alan Gottlieb said:  “Eric Holder signed an amicus brief in the Heller case that supported the District of Columbia’s handgun ban, and also argued that the Second Amendment does not protect an individual right.” Attorney General Despite any and all of his verbiage to the contrary, Holder’s actions state loudly that he does not believe private citizens have to right to own guns.  Apparently, he believes only governments should own them—a belief held by each and every tyrant and tyrant-supporter on the planet.

    The countdown to the end of our nation as a democratic republic and its reestablishment and reemergence as a totalitarian state controlled and run by the Communo-Fascist elite is underway.  Is the dismantling of the USA’s freedoms and liberties into despotic and tyrannical suppression the “change” for which you voted?  Is this the “change you have been waiting for?”

    One World Globalist Government The Reason the Left Must Destroy the USA

    By Sher Zieve  Friday, April 24, 2009

    In order for global (AKA “one world”) government (AKA “rule”) to come into being, the United States of America must be destroyed.  The USA and its Constitution are far too dangerous to the totalitarian Left for it to allow the country to continue its existence.  For many years now, I have included in my Bio “if Leftists ran the country (and left to their own inane devices), it would be the end of the United States as a sovereign nation.” Unfortunately and tragically, I was—and still am—correct. 

    The United States Constitution is a document that was designed and implemented to severely restrict government interference and control over individual states and We-the-People.  The current US Federal Administration—under the rule of Barack Obama—is now operating under its leaders’ stated agenda of redistributing wealth (which is taken from the middle class and “redistributed” to the US and Global political power elite) and establishing new laws to take the US Constitution from limiting control over the US population to total control over We-the-People.  Thus far, with very few exceptions, not one of the ‘loyal opposition’ has truly tried to stop Obama.  Instead, they seem to dutifully accept his programs that are tearing America apart—in favor of the global secular New World Order (NWO).  This NWO will consist of—but not be limited to—the following for the USA:

    • Massive energy tax increases of at least an additional $1,800/year/family
    • Higher prices for all goods and services
    • Total government control of the media (See Rosa Brooks “news” bail out proposal)
    • Total government control of the entire financial industry (money will go to Obama and leftist supporters and be withheld from those who oppose them)
    • The end of free speech (US state police have already been apprised by the Obama administration’s DHS Chief Napolitano that all who hold conservative or third party viewpoints are to be considered ‘enemies of the state’)
    • Abortions on demand
    • Infanticide for failed abortions (Note:  Obama voted four times in opposition to a law that would have protected babies who are left to die after a failed abortion)
    • Total government control of ALL industries Obama et al deem “essential” (which is subject to change at a moment’s notice)
    • The end to small business unless it supports the Left
    • The end of the middle class—as Obama and Co and the globalists will have gutted the country’s treasury and placed US taxpayer money in their own pockets
    • The criminalization of all political thought that is deemed non-supportive of the Left
    • The rescinding of Amendment 22 to end presidential term limits
    • The prosecution of President George W. Bush for protecting the country against terrorists (in order to distract the masses from what Supreme Leader Obama and Co are really doing)
    • The elevation of terrorists to a protected class (Islamists soon to be the global power elite’s Secret Police force?)
    • Forced taxpayer funding for illegal immigrants
    • The dismantling of the US’ southern border
    • Major drug dealers covertly partnering with government

    These are just a few of the stark horrors that are forthcoming—or have already arrived at our doorstep.  Without a real revolution can they be stopped?  You will need to answer that question for yourself.

    PLANNED OR HAPPENSTANCE

    PLANNED OR JUST HAPPENSTANCE: YOU DECIDE
    When I first started researching Obama and his associates two years ago. I thought He was just a puppet for the Socialist who wanted to gain control of this country.

    The more I researched and connected daily events the more I became convinced that it is a plan by Communists for world domination.

    My back ground for research: I spent nine years in Navy Intelligence, the last six of which was spent in studying past actions, current actions by the Socialists and using the best intelligence available predicting what the future actions and outcomes would be.

    In a previous article “America In Peril” In past events I listed the background of Frank Marshal Davis (Obama’s mentor) The goals of the Communist Party USA as entered in the Congressional Record In June, 1963, to illustrate how many of those goals had already been accomplished, and to show that one of the goals was to recruit and train selected people to run for office. I added transcripts of an interview with Yuri Bezmenov (a KGB agent who defected in 1970 and taped the interview in 1984) to show how the goals had been accomplished.
    I Linked Obama to the New Party which is just another name for the Communist Party usa, and posted a press release from the New Party showing that indeed Obama was a member when he ran for the Illinois Senate seat.

    Next I listed the provisions of the Biden Crime Act, and a list of Executive Orders, that when envoked will virtually give Obama Dictator status.

    Recent events lead me to believe that the plan is far more reaching than just turning America into a Socialist country.

    The blockage of any attempts to regulate Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac by the Democrats from 1998-2006 ensured they would crash, which they did in Sept. 2007. But the most telling of all events was the 2 hour run on the banks in Sept. 2008 to the tune of 550 billion dollars.
    Democrat—Rep. Paul Kanjorski of Pennsylvania said that if authorities had not closed the banks, $5 ½ TRILLION would have been withdrawn from US banks, which would have caused the collapse of the US and within 24 hours the collapse of the world’s economic system.

    Who but Obama’s Puppetmasters George Soros and the 100+ members of the Democracy Alliance have enough money in money market funds to execute such a run on the banks.

    There is nothing illegal about withdrawing one’s own money from the bank, but this much at one time caused panic, at the precise time John McCain had just pulled a couple of points ahead of Obama in the National Polls.

    Was this the Puppetmasters warning to the world and to George Bush, that if they did not accept a Global Socialist world Order their economy would collapse.

    A Skeptic's Guide To Debunking Global Warming Alarmism

    Phil Valentine's Bullet Points

    • Since 1895, the media has alternated between global cooling and warming scares during four separate and sometimes overlapping time periods. From 1895 until the 1930's the media peddled a coming ice age. From the late 1920's until the 1960's they warned of global warming. From the 1950's until the 1970's they warned us again of a coming ice age. This makes modern global warming the fourth estate's fourth attempt to promote opposing climate change fears during the last 100 years.
    • The National Academy of Sciences report reaffirmed the existence of the Medieval Warm Period from about 900 AD to 1300 AD and the Little Ice Age from about 1500 to 1850. Both of these periods occurred long before the invention of the SUV or human industrial activity could have possibly impacted the Earth's climate. In fact, scientists believe the Earth was warmer than today during the Medieval Warm Period, when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland.
    • What the climate alarmists and their advocates in the media have continued to ignore is the fact that the Little Ice Age, which resulted in harsh winters which froze New York Harbor and caused untold deaths, ended about 1850. So trying to prove man-made global warming by comparing the well-known fact that today's temperatures are warmer than during the Little Ice Age is akin to comparing summer to winter to show a catastrophic temperature trend.
    • Something that the media almost never addresses are the holes in the theory that C02 has been the driving force in global warming. Alarmists fail to adequately explain why temperatures began warming at the end of the Little Ice Age in about 1850, long before man-made CO2 emissions could have impacted the climate. Then about 1940, just as man-made CO2 emissions rose sharply, the temperatures began a decline that lasted until the 1970's, prompting the media and many scientists to fear a coming ice age.
    • A letter sent to the Canadian Prime Minister on April 6, 2006 by 60 prominent scientists who question the basis for climate alarmism, clearly explains the current state of scientific knowledge on global warming. The 60 scientists wrote: "If, back in the mid-1990s, we knew what we know today about climate, Kyoto would almost certainly not exist, because we would have concluded it was not necessary." The letter also noted: "‘Climate change is real' is a meaningless phrase used repeatedly by activists to convince the public that a climate catastrophe is looming and humanity is the cause. Neither of these fears is justified. Global climate changes occur all the time due to natural causes and the human impact still remains impossible to distinguish from this natural ‘noise."
    • In 2006, the director of the International Arctic Research Center in Fairbanks Alaska, testified to Congress that highly publicized climate models showing a disappearing Arctic were nothing more than "science fiction."
    • "Geologists Think the World May be Frozen Up Again." That sentence appeared over 100 years ago in the February 24, 1895 edition of the New York Times.
    • A front page article in the October 7, 1912 New York Times, just a few months after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank, declared that a prominent professor "Warns Us of an Encroaching Ice Age." The very same day in 1912, the Los Angeles Times ran an article warning that the "Human race will have to fight for its existence against cold." An August 10, 1923 Washington Post article declared: "Ice Age Coming Here."
    • By the 1930's, the media took a break from reporting on the coming ice age and instead switched gears to promoting global warming: "America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-year Rise" stated an article in the New York Times on March 27, 1933.
    • The media of yesteryear was also not above injecting large amounts of fear and alarmism into their climate articles. An August 9, 1923 front page article in the Chicago Tribune declared: "Scientist Says Arctic Ice Will Wipe Out Canada." The article quoted a Yale University professor who predicted that large parts of Europe and Asia would be "wiped out" and Switzerland would be "entirely obliterated."
    • A December 29, 1974 New York Times article on global cooling reported that climatologists believed "the facts of the present climate change are such that the most optimistic experts would assign near certainty to major crop failure in a decade." The article also warned that unless government officials reacted to the coming catastrophe, "mass deaths by starvation and probably in anarchy and violence" would result. In 1975, the New York Times reported that "A major cooling [was] widely considered to be inevitable."
    • On February 19, 2006, CBS News's "60 Minutes" produced a segment on the North Pole. The segment was a completely one-sided report, alleging rapid and unprecedented melting at the polar cap. It even featured correspondent Scott Pelley claiming that the ice in Greenland was melting so fast, that he barely got off an ice-berg before it collapsed into the water. "60 Minutes" failed to inform its viewers that a 2005 study by a scientist named Ola Johannessen and his colleagues showing that the interior of Greenland is gaining ice and mass and that according to scientists, the Arctic was warmer in the 1930's than today.
    • According to data released on July 14, 2006 from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the January through June Alaska statewide average temperature was "0.55F (0.30C) cooler than the 1971-2000 average."
    • In August 2006, Khabibullo Abdusamatov, a scientist who heads the space research sector for the Russian Academy of Sciences, predicted long-term global cooling may be on the horizon due to a projected decrease in the sun's output.

    Earth Day - Communist Propaganda!

      By Ron Ewart  Thursday, April 23, 2009

    Talk about brainwashing, indoctrination and fear mongering!  Some national and international elitists, money changers, power brokers, the United Nations, Europe, socialists, radical environmentalists and the one-world-order crowd, aided and abetted by a news media that has lost any semblance of journalism ethics, have perpetrated one of the greatest frauds in the civilized history of mankind.  But worse, the American government, at every level, who are supposedly constrained by our Constitution and every American politician who espouses, supports or endorses this nonsense, is complicit in this fraud and the propaganda that propagates it.

    Little kids are scared to death that the boogie-man of Man-Cause Global Warming is going to flood their homes, kill their parents and leave them destitute, hungry, homeless and all alone.  Disenfranchised and unrepresented rural American landowners have lost virtually all of their property rights, due to draconian environmental land use regulations ..... regulations that are based on another fraud, that we must protect every damn wetland in existence today, even if the wetland was caused by man in the first place.  It is a fraud for one very basic reason that no one ever mentions.  Just a short 10,000 years ago in geologic time, one-third of the Earth’s surface was covered by an ice sheet over one mile thick.  Underneath that ice there were no lakes, streams, rivers, or wetlands and there was little to any wildlife whatsoever.  Somehow the Earth managed to survive without all those wetlands and it will continue to survive whether we save wetlands or not.  In fact, the Earth will even survive the miniscule effect that mankind inflicts upon it.  Did you know that man’s foot print on the North American Continent is less than 5% of the total land mass.  And that foot print took over 200 years to materialize.  Don’t you think that if that foot print rose to 10% over the next 200 years, there would still be a whole lot of land left for the wild creatures and all their little creatures?

    And no, man is not causing global warming, in spite of the unmitigated lies you are being fed, by those who are hell-bent on controlling you.

    This same fraud, perpetrated by government and special interest groups, is forcing inefficient wind and solar power energy sources upon us, that require more fossil fuel energy to build, require huge government subsidies to be viable at all and represent a insignificant fraction of the total energy we consume.  In the meantime the policies from this fraud are sucking the energy needed to keep our economy humming by very efficient sources of energy from hydro, nuclear, oil, coal and natural gas, and they are being seriously inhibited or prohibited all together.  A country without sufficient energy is a third-world country, subject to all the vagaries of third-world countries and banana republics.

    And this insanity about outlawing incandescent light bulbs and replacing them with very environmentally unfriendly, mercury-laced, fluorescent bulbs that require special, expensive disposal handling, is beyond any reason or common sense.  Who are these people who make these off-the-wall decisions?

    Now you may think that we are against environmental stewardship, but you would be wrong.  Our motto is:

    Protecting the Environment is Laudable. Trashing the Constitution to do it is treasonous.


    So In celebration of this fraud and communist propaganda that is “Earth Day”, we are increasing our carbon foot print and turning on every light in our home and business.  We will not fall prey to worldwide propaganda and unbridled hysteria, because those in power, who want to control every aspect of our lives and are the very perpetrators of the fraud and the propaganda, says it’s so.  Americans must choose.  Will they be the marionettes controlled by the almighty government, or will they be the puppeteer that pulls the “strings” ON government?

    Wake up Americans, or you will find yourself in chains, if you aren’t already.

    Obama may stage terror attacks and cancel 2012 elections...

    Obama may stage terror attacks and cancel 2012 elections...

    Posted on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 12:24:19 AM by Leader_Of_The _Conservatives

    Former presidential candidate Alan Keyes has given perhaps his most dire warning yet, saying that the Obama administration is preparing to stage terror attacks, declare martial law and cancel the 2012 elections, which is why they are demonizing their political enemies as criminals and terrorists.

    Keyes is best known for his performance during the 2000 Republican presidential debates, when he was accredited by many media outlets as being the clear winner during a series of debates with George W. Bush and John McCain.

    “It’s obvious that they will stop at nothing,” Keyes told attendees of a reception in Fort Wayne, adding, “We may wake up one day and there’s a series of terrorist attacks, the economy is paralysed….martial law will be declared everywhere in the United States and it won’t end until the crisis ends.”

    Keyes said that Americans should be thankful if they even see another election in 2012, stating, “If we don’t wake up and work to see that it happens, we will not see another election.”

    “The minute they think they can get away with it, they will end this system of government and that is their intention,” added Keyes, noting that everyone acting as if the time we are in was just “business as usual” reminds him of the attitude of politicians in the Weimar Republic when Hitler was rising to power or eastern Europe when the Communists were taking over after the second world war.

    Keyes said that because the majority of people are decent-minded, they believe others will play by the rules when this simply isn’t the case, warning that this attitude will allow evil to take over before we can do anything about it.

    “It is so clear hat we have now put a faction in place - they are not playing by the rules and they don’t intend to play by the rules - if they were playing by the rules they wouldn’t have tried to identify their opposition as criminals,” added Keyes, making reference to the recent controversy surrounding the release of the MIAC and Homeland Security reports, which implied that Americans who exercise and are knowledgeable about their constitutional rights are a threat to law enforcement and potential domestic terrorists.

    Keyes said that the only solution was from the bottom up because our leaders “are so gutless that they won’t even ask that the Constitution be enforced for clear, plain, absolutely unequivocal requirements,” and respond meekly with “their lips shut and their hearts terrorized.”

    Keyes also warned of Obama’s agenda to create a civilian security force and said it was part of the ultimate agenda to disarm American citizens and create a police state.

    Keyes has been a vocal critic of Obama, warning that he is a radical Communist who is determined to destroy America, and that if his agenda is not stopped then the country as we know it will cease to exist.

    The Obama administration — the self-declared most transparent administration in history — has released interrogation memos that included descriptions of the valuable intelligence obtained by using coercive techniques. But while Obama advisers thought it appropriate to share detailed descriptions of those techniques with the world — and with the terrorists who might one day be subject to them — these same advisers blocked the release of the information these interrogations provided. They weren’t subtle. All of this information came in the same set of documents.

    “But just as the memo begins to describe previously undisclosed details of what enhanced interrogations achieved, the page is almost entirely blacked out. The Obama administration released pages of unredacted classified information on the techniques used to question captured terrorist leaders but pulled out its black marker when it came to the details of what those interrogations achieved.”

    Barack Obama has made two mistakes: 1) such blatant politicizing of intelligence, and, 2) thinking he can get away with it.

    This is Obama’s arrogance at its worst. The president and his advisers seem to think that because the world loves him — and because he remains popular here at home, too — his decisions will escape serious scrutiny.

    This should be the end of the Obama honeymoon. The country has debated the politicization of intelligence for the last seven years. In that time, we have probably never seen such a clear example of that phenomenon. And though most reporters would surely agree with Obama on enhanced interrogation, they cannot give him a pass on this. It should be a very, very uncomfortable day for Robert Gibbs today.

    Former Vice President Dick Cheney has formally requested that information from the interrogations be declassified. Early signs from the Obama administration indicate that they will be unlikely to do this. Why? That’s unclear. But Obama officials don’t think they have to worry. Why? Obama is really, really popular.

    This comes from Mike Allen’s must-read Playbook this morning:

    Cheney made the request in late March, while researching his memoirs. The CIA has not yet replied, but that’s not surprising given the complexity of the request. In coming days, Cheney can be expected to argue that the Obama administration’s publication of other files last week is a precedent for release of the memos he wants. Cheney contends that the information he seeks does not pose a threat to anyone, nor to intelligence sources and methods. Obama supporters say privately that Cheney would be better off lying low for awhile – that he’s not going to win a fight with one of the most popular people in the world.

    What is the Obama administration’s substantive response to Cheney’s request?

    The president might refer back to a memo he wrote on January 21, 2009, the day after he was sworn in. Obama pledged to run an open government, one that favors transparency as its guiding principle. He wrote that “executive branch agencies (agencies) should act promptly and in a spirit of cooperation, recognizing that such agencies are servants of the public.”

    After all: “The Government should not keep information confidential merely because public officials might be embarrassed by disclosure, because errors and failures might be revealed, or because of speculative or abstract fears.”

    Good point.

    OBAMA SOLD OUT AMERICA

    By: Marion Valentine

    By Ray
    On 9-11 the Terrorists struck hard, struck with a vengeance, struck with death and devastation unparalleled in our history, thinking they would blow America asunder with their diabolic and evil acts. They were sure that America had become a fat and lazy cat: selfish, weak, shallow, and indifferent to anything except sex, money, sports, fast food, and a self-indulgent existence. Little did they realize, the people of America – just common men and women – would rise up, and become the everyday heroes and heroines of America. Remember that day, America? …

    …I had heard rumors that the release of state secrets pertaining to enhanced interrogation techniques used in 2002 and 2003 was imminent. On the morning of April 15, 2009, the last thing I heard as I turned off the morning news, was that President Obama said he would not allow their release. I was thankful. But, when I turned on the evening news, I heard that these state secrets had been released. So, the president of the United States once again apparently lied to us, the American people. Said he wouldn’t and then he did! Obama upheld the release saying it was “for transparency on a dark and painful period of American history.” In all honesty, Obama used political politics with this decision, not what was good for American interests.

    “A DARK AND PAINFUL PERIOD IN OUR HISTORY!” Come on, Obama. America was still reeling from the 9/11 terrorist-inflicted carnage on American shores that killed nearly 3000. We were desperately trying to keep Al Qaeda from attacking us again. Far from being a dark and painful time, this was a period of shining American valor, of Americans standing together shoulder to shoulder, of our resolve to make it through with our pride of being Americans and our honor intact. I have never heard where you, Obama, were on that day. Why didn’t you volunteer to go to war against our enemy as thousands of brave American heroes and heroines did? You certainly were of the right age. What did you, as a leader, do to rally people to stand firm? WHY WEREN’T YOU AN AMERICAN HERO? I KNOW! YOU WERE AGAINST GOING TO WAR. It’s comforting to have you as our president now.

    And if our government used some “enhanced interrogation techniques,” not torture, to get vital information out of captured enemies, I AM GLAD! And so are millions of American Conservatives and Liberals both. Guess what? These techniques worked. Fully one-half of the information the CIA got that saved America from future attacks were from these supposedly “torture techniques.”

    Since then, I have heard the message over and over and over that America Tortures. THIS IS THE MESSAGE GOING OUT TO THE WORLD. To every corner of the earth, to all our enemies, to Al Qaeda, to all the other terrorist groups, to countries that hate us. Don’t think this won’t mobilize them more?

    I was taught as a child to respect the office of the president, even if I cannot respect the man filling it. I do respect the office of the president. But the man who tarnishes America to the rest of the world, who gives our foes such a PROPAGANDA BONANZA, who uses party politics to try and hurt the previous administration, not considering American interests — YES, YOU, OBAMA, THE MAN FILLING THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT — YOU SOLD AMERICA OUT TO OUR ENEMIES. SHAME!

    The Apologists

    The Apologists
    Posted 04/21/2009 ET


    For 50 minutes, Obama sat mute, as a Marxist thug from Nicaragua delivered his diatribe, charging America with a century of terrorist aggression in Central America.

    After Daniel Ortega finished spitting in our face, accusing us of inhumanity toward Fidel Castro's Cuba, Obama was asked his thoughts.

    "I thought it was 50 minutes long. That's what I thought."

    Hillary Clinton was asked to comment: "I thought the cultural performance was fascinating," she cooed.

    Pressed again on Ortega's vitriol, Hillary replied: "To have those first-class Caribbean entertainers all on one stage and to see how much was done in such a small amount of space. I was overwhelmed."

    Thus the nation that won the Cold War, contained the cancer of Castroism in Cuba, liberated Grenada, blocked communist takeovers of Guatemala and the Dominican Republic, and poured scores of billions in aid into this region was left undefended by its own leaders at the Summit of the Americas.

    Nor was this the only unanswered insult. Hugo Chavez, who has called Obama an "ignoramus" and Bush "El Diablo," walked over to a seated U.S. president and handed him the anti-American tract "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent."

    The book blames Latin America's failures on white Europeans.

    It opens, "Renaissance Europeans ventured across the oceans and buried their teeth in the throats of the Indian civilizations."

    Civilizations? Before Pizarro and Cortez, the Inca and Aztec empires these conquistadors overthrew were into human sacrifice.

    Evo Morales, the Aymaran president of Bolivia, who is using the race card against Bolivians of European descent, implied a U.S. role in an assassination plot against him.

    Argentina's Cristina Kirchner, who allegedly received black-bag money from Chavez, ripped into America for its role in the 1980s. Under Reagan, America aided Britain in the Falklands War, after the Argentine junta invaded the islands, and assisted the Contras in their war of national liberation to oust Ortega's Sandinistas.

    Again, Obama offered no defense of his country.

    President Lula da Silva of Brazil, who blames the world financial crisis on "white, blue-eyed bankers," told Obama that any future Summit of the Americas without the Castro brothers was unacceptable.

    Perhaps Obama believes in turn-the-other-cheek diplomacy, though it is hard to find much success in history for such a policy. Perhaps pacifism is in his DNA. Perhaps he shares the indictment of America that is part of the repertoire of every Latin demagogue.

    Whatever his motive, in Trinidad, there were not two sides to the story. There were the trashers of America on the Latino left and a U.S. president who wailed plaintively, "I'm thankful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was 3 months old."

    But, the Bay of Pigs, had it succeeded, would have given Cubans 50 years of freedom instead of the brutal dictatorship they have had to endure. And it took place four months before Barack was born.

    Obama's silence -- signifying, as it does, assent -- in the face of attacks on his country is of a piece with the "contrition tour" of his secretary of state.

    "Clinton Scores Points by Admitting Past U.S. Errors," was the headline over Saturday's New York Times story by Mark Landler:

    "It has become a recurring theme of Hillary Rodham Clinton's early travels as the chief diplomat of the United States: She says that American policy on a given issue has failed, and her foreign listeners fall all over themselves in gratitude.

    "On Friday, Mrs. Clinton said ... that the uncompromising policy of the Bush administration toward Cuba had not worked. ...

    "The contrition tour goes beyond Latin America. In China, Mrs. Clinton told audiences that the United States must accept its responsibility as a leading emitter of greenhouse gases. In Indonesia, she said the American-backed policy of sanctions against Myanmar had not been effective. And in the Middle East, she pointed out that ostracizing the Iranian government had not persuaded it to give up its nuclear weapons ambitions."

    Sandler wrote that Hillary brought to mind Bill Clinton:

    "On a single trip to Africa in 1998 ... Bill Clinton apologized for American participation in slavery; American support of brutal African dictators; American 'neglect and ignorance' of Africa; American failure to intervene sooner in the Rwandan genocide of 1994; American 'complicity' in apartheid ... ."

    Yet, as C.S. Lewis reminds us in "God in the Dock," "The first and fatal charm of national repentance is ... the encouragement it gives us to turn from the bitter task of repenting our own sins to the congenial one of bewailing -- but, first, of denouncing -- the conduct of others."

    Bewailing the policies of Bush as failures and standing mute in the face of attacks on his country and predecessors may come back to bite Obama.

    For when Jimmy Carter assumed a posture of moral superiority over LBJ and Richard Nixon, by declaring, "We have gotten over our inordinate fear of communism," it came back to bite him, good and hard.

    Obama Didn’t Know Nuthin’ Of The Tea Parties – But The Rest Of The World Did!

     By Joan Swirsky  Tuesday, April 21, 2009

    An amazing thing happened on Wednesday, April 15th, Tax Day, when nearly a million people took hours off from their workdays – many sacrificing pay cuts and even the threat of being fired – to attend thousands of Tea Parties across America. What motivated this huge number of Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians, and even apolitical people to come out in mid-week with placards aplenty and passion unprecedented? It was to tell President Obama that they rejected and resented just about everything he and his radical-left Congress have foisted on our nation during his 90-plus days in office. These include:

    • A frontal assault on free-market capitalism
    • Zero transparency and accountability for the billions already doled out – where has it gone?
    • Rising unemployment
    • Trillions of dollars of debt for us and our children and grandchildren
    • Infringement of freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including free speech, gun ownership, freedom of religion, et al.
    • Obsequious overtures to the world’s biggest despots, all of them America’s sworn enemies.
    • Passage of H.R. 1388, or the “domestic security force” that eerily mimics Hitler’s brown shirts, or, as Obama stated: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
    • Aggressive moves to nationalize the press, resurrect the “Fairness Doctrine,” and give the president the legal authority to shut down the Internet in the “interest of national security.”
    • A cap-and-trade tax that will effectively kill commerce
    • Full-speed-ahead on destroying the coal industry
    • Ceding the resolution of legal issues to the cesspool-of-corruption known as the United Nations and transnational courts
    • Steps to obliterate the “conscience clause” that allows doctors, nurses and pharmacists the right not to participate in the infanticide procedure known as abortion
    • Unforgiveable insults to our military by calling them potential “domestic terrorists.” Other “terrorists” listed in the Department of Homeland Security report were anyone opposed to abortion, anyone in favor of immigration enforcement, pro-Second-Amendment lobbies, and anyone protesting big government.
    • A vile insult to Catholics when the White House insisted on having Christ’s name covered by black plywood when the president spoke at Georgetown U. – why was he invited?
    • A despicable insult to Jews when career anti-Semite Charles Freeman – President of the MEPC Arab lobby and a board member of the American Iranian Council – was appointed head of the National Intelligence Council, but ultimately stepped down, confirming in his own words his animus toward Israel.
    • Declaring carbon dioxide an environmental pollutant… another scheme to impose draconian and business-murdering taxes on Americans, while at the same time refusing to drill for oil and build nuclear facilities, all in the name of the colossal hoax known as man-made global warming. Let’s hear it for windmills!
    • The coming manipulation of the U.S. census by community-organizers from ACORN – under investigation in more than 12 states for voter-registration fraud – which received $5-million of tax-payer’s money in Obama’s “stimulus” package
    • An utter failure to intercede in a timely fashion to save Captain Richard Phillips from the Muslim Somali terrorists in the Maersk Alabama incident

    As I’ve often said about what appears to be President Obama’s Marxist agenda…this is the short list! The longer list includes cabinet members and advisors who would have been instantly rejected by your friendly deli owner or housewife, so steeped have they been in tax cheating, conflicts-of-interest, and criminal investigations.

    MR. KNOW NUTHIN’

    In spite of the fact that the President of the United States is supposed to be the most informed person on the face of the earth, when the most dramatic opposition to his policies took place on Tax Day, April 15th, his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, said that the president was “unaware” of the Tea Party tsunami.

    In Internet lingo, this was a huge LOLOL! Of course President Obama knew. That is why the day before the Tea Parties, on April 14th he went into full campaign mode to tell students at Georgetown U. how peachy keen things were; why he sent his Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to echo the message to students at Morehouse U., and why the White House blast e-mailed and blast-faxed its leftwing media lackeys the Talking Points they hoped would kill the damned Tea Party movement in its infancy.

    But the Obama and Bernanke speeches failed, as did all those media Talking Points. That is not to say that the so-called journalists of the so-called mainstream media – the same media that are dying on the vine every day – were silent. So terrified are they of Democracy in Action that they tripped over themselves, and each other, in a failed effort to diminish the impact of this national movement and to vilify its participants. Fox News, however, gave the Tea Parties 24-7 coverage and garnered the kind of sky-high ratings that every news organization dreams about.

    I understand why the president was clueless. After all, a United States president is a busy man. He can’t possibly know of everything going on in our country, especially when he is hard at work:

    • Bowing fawningly to the terrorist-funding King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia
    • Sharing a strangely intimate finger-entangled greeting with the American-loathing Marxist president of Venezuela Hugo Chavez
    • Sitting mutely through a 90-minute American-bashing screed by Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega
    • Sending love notes (uh, “outreach” messages) to the America-reviling president of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
    • Sending his sell-out-Israel emissaries to the America-hating president of Syria Bashar Assad
    • Making sweet overtures to Cuba’s tyrant Raul Castro

    And generally apologizing to our enemies for what he believes is America’s “arrogance” and “divisiveness.”

    OBAMA’S MISSION – NOT ACCOMPLISHED

    But something unexpected happened to our neophyte president on the way to shoving his Socialist swill down the throats of the American public. They rejected it. In a recent article, “Obama’s Incurable Nausea,” I described why leftists routinely throw up. It is because anything that suggests American exceptionalism., respect for our military, adherence to our Constitution, small government, low taxes, and free-market capitalism makes them sick, and the only thing that relieves their chronic nausea is, well, vomiting on America.

    But “unlike the Left, who own the protest movement” says writer and publisher Judi McLeod, “Tea Party patriots did not scream obscenities or insult the very men and women who make it possible for [protests] to happen every day in America – the courageous U.S. troops and their allies in Afghanistan and Iraq.” Instead, they “sported tea bags on their lapels [and] waved the Stars and Stripes…something that Barack Obama cannot or will not do for America: show pride in being part of what is the greatest nation on earth! Even as the Obama regime cripples the country’s economy; even though Obama bagman George Soros gloated at the human suffering in the current recession, calling it `the culmination of my lifetime‘, patriots were taking their country back!”

    Writing that the DHS document – declaring protesters de facto domestic terrorists – “reads like a declaration of war against decent American citizens,” radio-host Dr. Laurie Roth, who spoke before 3,500 Tea Party attendees in Spokane, predicts that “the nation has started its wake-up call. We are all fed up to our gills and done being just angry while watching our Government violate our Constitution, tax us to death, steal from future generations, and continue to march against our freedoms! This is just the beginning!”

    And in a wonderful recounting of the original Boston Tea Party of 1173, writer Lee Cary – in a clear allusion to the Obama administration being “unaware” of the modern-day Tea Parties of April 15th – sardonically quips that the “Parliament didn’t get the last Tea Party either.”

    “Deliberative legislative bodies,” Cary continues, “tend, then and now, to be dismissive when the people express an opinion they, the ruling class, don’t share. When asked to comment on the April 15, 2009 Tea Parties across America, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, said, in essence, `The people just don’t appreciate all the things the Crown has done for them.’”

    Referring to the current Tea Parties, Patriot Post proprietor, Mark Alexander said: “The Tea Party of 1773 was a tactical event, but…as more Patriots across the nation take a lesson from our Founders, and make the leap from tactical skirmishes to a unified strategic front, protests will become far more focused and effective.”

    And after ToThePointNews.com’s Dr. Jack Wheeler and his wife watched Tea Party demonstrations around the country, he wrote: “We’re going to have our country back again. There is hope for America after all.  We wanted to believe this, but our faith had been profoundly shaken by the act of mass insanity last November 4.  Now we could see with our own eyes – America is coming to its senses. The tea parties will continue.  Wait till you see how many more of them and how bigger they are on July 4.”

    But, Dr. Wheeler warns, ”One thing you can count on, the patriotic rejection of [Obama’s] fascism is not going to fade, it is going to grow…in an endless stream, for the people providing them are compulsively fascist in a religiously fanatical way. Fascism is their religion.”

    Tough words until you consider that Obama’s FBI was covertly doing surveillance at each Tea Party throughout the nation, according to Douglas J. Hagmann, director of Northeast Intelligence Network, and Canada Free Press founding editor, McLeod. In a chilling commentary, the authors describe the following:

    …a single-page confidential directive issued by the FBI headquarters in Washington, DC (FBIHQ) was sent to each of the 56 field offices located across the United States on or about March 23, 2009, instructing the Special Agents in Charge (SACs) of those offices to verify the date, time and location of each Tea Party within their region and supply that information to FBI headquarters in Washington. The source stated this correspondence termed the `Tea parties ’political demonstrations,” and added that the dissemination of the directive was very tightly controlled. `

    In addition to obtaining or confirming the location and time of each `demonstration,’ each field office was instructed to obtain or confirm the identity of the individual(s) involved in the actual planning and coordination of the event in each specific region, and include the local or regional Internet web site address, if any.  The information collected by region was then reportedly sent to FBI Headquarters.

    A second directive was issued on or about April 6, 2009, that reportedly instructed each SAC to coordinate and conduct, either at the field office level and/or with the appropriate resident agency, covert video surveillance and data collection of the participants of the Tea Parties.  Surveillance was to be performed from “discreet fixed or mobile positions” and was to be performed “independently and outside of the purview of local law enforcement.”

    “Listen to what I am saying,” said Hagmann’s source. “The Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Assessment that is receiving so much attention is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, and the true patriotic citizens of this country are on the Titanic.”

    WHAT’S NEXT?

    The kind of genuine grassroots activism the world witnessed on April 15 springs spontaneously from the passions of an outraged populace and are quite unlike the leftwing demonstrations we’ve seen over the years in which paid operatives round up – and often pay – agitators, unionists, and grievance groups. The beauty of the Tea Parties on April 15th was that there was no “central authority” organizing them, only individual efforts in all 50 states.

    Tim Phillips, president of AmericansforProsperity.org, a pro-tax cut advocacy group, is now gearing up for a massive National Taxpayer Tea Party at the Capitol on October 2nd. For more information, click here.

    WorldNetDaily – which hosts its own Tea Party forum – reports that the American Family Association has already started making plans for more tea parties on May 30th and July 4 on its National Tea Party Day website. The organization has already signed up four organizers for three U.S. cities.

    The Patriots' Turn

    The Patriots’ Turn

    This was sent to me by a friend. I know you will be interested.
    Marion A. Valentine, Oath Keeper

    This following poem is to ALL Patriots who have stood and those that continue to STAND.
    Deepest Thanks to all of you! What you do does count. There is a Right and Wrong. You have decided to “turn” and do what is RIGHT!

    Patriots’ Turn

    Out of a murky past the Usurper rose.
    Unconstitutional Laws he would impose.
    With minions and media they would devise.
    The plot of continual spreading of lies.
    And, with Congress they would meet.
    Also, those upon the Senate seat.
    Concocting a plan of Our Country’s fall.
    It would require them to “sell out” ALL!
    The Judges Courts they allow to Fail.
    Wrecking the balance of our Justice Scale.
    Just, for only, the Bankers Greed.
    They push through Bills they do not read.
    Believing they have sealed our Fate.
    By telling us that it’s to Late.
    But, wait! What is that thunderous sound?
    So very loud, it shakes the ground.
    Could it be millions upon millions of Patriots’ feet?
    That is marching, ever marching to Liberty’s drumbeat.
    Now, the good men will no longer ignore.
    The oath of allegiance that they did swore.
    Our Constitution is the key to restore.
    To the erosion of Freedom WE say. “No more!”

    SOCIALIST INDOCTRINATION

    The International Agenda

    Skip down to Theosophy & Robert Muller | Global education

    Montessori | Regional Educational Laboratories

    Education for All | Communism or Global Socialism



    "[A] major goal...should be... to organize a worldwide education program... In the process, we should actively search for ways to promote a new way of thinking about the current relationship between human civilization and the earth."[i] Al Gore, The Earth in the Balance

    "The basic goal of education is change -- human change...."[2] Harold Drummon, former president of the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD)

    "Enlightened social engineering is required to face situations that demand global action now... Parents and the general public must be reached also, otherwise, children and youth enrolled in globally oriented programs may find themselves in conflict with values assumed in the home. And then the educational institution frequently comes under scrutiny and must pull back."[3] Professor John Goodlad, Foreword in Schooling for A Global Age


    "We can't teach that only America is good," said Seema Desai, a tenth-grader who moved from India to Florida in 1993. "That would hurt my feelings."[4]

    Seema had joined an impassioned war--led by the local teachers' union--against three Lake County school board members who wanted Florida schools to emphasize America's unique merits. Seeking to overturn a requirement that would "indoctrinate" students with the intolerable old-paradigm notion that America is best, the union had sued the school board. Such ethnocentric teaching, it argued, emphasizes one culture over another. Therefore it breaks a state law that requires multicultural education.

    Did you know that multiculturalism ruled out loyalty to our country? I didn't. Like most parents, I believed that multicultural education simply helps students understand other cultures and people. In reality, it trains students to view the world and its people from a global and pantheistic perspective rather than from a national and Judeo-Christian perspective. In other words, it is designed to speed the paradigm shift--the current transformation toward a radical new way of thinking, believing, and relating to "our global family."

    This paradigm shift is supposed to prepare students for life in the 21st century "global village," the envisioned worldwide community of people joined together through high-tech superhighways and a common set of values. To mold world-class students, social engineers are testing the latest techniques in behavior modification on our children. As you will see in coming chapters, children must either reject their old home-taught faith or stretch it far beyond biblical boundaries to include the world's pantheistic, polytheistic belief systems.

    "Multicultural education...strives to integrate multiethnic and global perspectives," wrote Christine Bennet in Comprehensive Multicultural Education, a popular textbook for student teachers. Its goal is not to teach factual history, but to "challenge [the student's] cultural assumptions" and mold global citizens with an "emotional commitment to the fundamental unity of all humans...."[5]

    In other words, a new commitment to universal oneness must supercede commitments to God and country. While grandiose dreams of global unity reach back to the beginning of history, it was more recently documented in 1973 by the authors of the Humanist Manifesto II. They wrote, "We deplore the division of human-kind on nationalistic grounds. We have reached a turning point in human history where the best option is to transcend the limits of national sovereignty and to move toward the building of a world community...."[6]

    Professor Philip Vander Velde, who taught "Foundations of Education" at Western Washington University, authored the book, Global Mandate: Pedagogy for Peace. Reflecting the views of countless other change agents, he wrote,

    "...unless a new faith... overcomes the old ideologies and creates planetary synthesis, world government is doomed.... Nation-states have outlived their usefulness, and a new world order is necessary if we are to live in harmony with each other... The task of reordering our traditional values and institutions should be one of the major educational objectives of our schools."[7]

    These revolutionary beliefs didn't originate with Vander Velde. When he penned these chilling words in 1985, his book merely articulated a transformation that was already well under way. Since then, this philosophy has permeated curriculum and teaching strategies from coast to coast.

    Today's history lessons are designed to reflect and fuel the paradigm shift. Alarmed parents in every state report that they do.[8] "My son told me that he had seen some videos in his high school history class," said Pam Hoffecker, a Pennsylvania mother and co-author of Outcome-Based Education. "One of the videos, The Columbus Controversy, gave a politically correct view of Christopher Columbus. The other, The Puritan Experience, was about a girl who disobeys her parents, skips church, and helps the Indians. It showed that a formal religion like Christianity is bad, but disrespect toward traditional authority is good."

    Pam borrowed the whole series from the school. Later, she summarized what she had seen in a telephone conversation:

    "When I looked at the video about Columbus, I was very upset. It began with a teacher grabbing a purse from a student's desk, saying "This is my purse. I didn't steal Samantha's purse. I discovered this purse." Columbus was presented as an anti-hero who sought gold and slaves, brought genocide to the indigenous, and should be ridiculed. It never mentioned that the supposedly peaceloving Carob Indians owned slaves and would fatten, castrate and eat male babies in cannibalistic rituals. True, the European immigrants did exploit Indians, but there are two sides to the story...."

    Let me read you an assignment from the pamphlet that came with the video. "Have students choose one of these consequences and explain how it was--or was not--caused by the Spanish Conquest of the Americas that Columbus initiated." All choices would lead students to emphasize social injustice from a revisionist perspective. Listen to the topics: The triumph of capitalism, The genocide of the indigenous, The slavery of people of color, The colonization of the world, The destruction of the primal environment, and The impending catastrophe of ecocide of the planet Earth."[9]

    As Pam told her story, I shared her sadness at the growing hatred for a culture that has offered security, freedom and peace to millions of people from around the world. Her son, Timothy, had heard the missing facts from his parents, but most children who learn history from the new-paradigm perspective will never know why America was called the land of the free.

    One thing is certain, the 1994 National Standards for American History would not provide the needed balance. That the newly elected conservative U.S. Senate refused to approve them, made little difference. Long before those standards were discussed in public, they had become the unofficial standards in our tax-funded regional educational laboratories, in curriculum guidelines, and in our public schools. In fact, Gary Nash, who authored our nation's most popular social studies text in the early nineties,[10] led the panel that wrote the official History Standards. Ponder his attitude toward Western culture.

    Rewriting history to fit the global paradigm. "Imagine an outline for the teaching of American history in which George Washington makes only a fleeting appearance and is never described as our first president," suggested Lynne Cheney, former chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. "Or in which the foundings of the Sierra Club and the National Organization for Women are considered noteworthy events, but the first gathering of the U.S. Congress is not... This is, in fact, the version of history set forth in the soon-to-be released National Standards for United States History." She continued:

    "...not a single one of the 31 standards mentions the Constitution. True, it does come up in the 250 pages of supporting materials. It is even described as "the culmination of the most creative era of constitutionalism in American history"--but only in the dependent clause of a sentence that has as its main point that students should "ponder the paradox that the Constitution sidetracked the movement to abolish slavery...."

    "African and Native American societies, like all societies, had their failings, but one would hardly know it from the National Standards. Students are encouraged to consider Aztec "architecture, skills, labor systems and agriculture." But not the practice of human sacrifice....

    "What went wrong? ... According to [an unnamed member of the panel], those who were "pursuing the revisionist agenda" no longer bothered to conceal their "great hatred for traditional history."

    Gary Nash represents the academic bureaucracy charged with training America's youth. His debate with Lynne Cheney on the MacNeil/Lehrer News Hour on October 26, 1994, highlights the two opposing paradigms in American culture.

    [Cheney] "There is very little sense here of our nation's greatness, of our progress... It is a very grim and gloomy picture of the American past... You don't find Robert E. Lee... Thomas Edison and many other people who have the misfortune to have been born white males."

    [Nash] "The hundreds of teachers, and the hundreds of historians from every part of the country who were collaborators and co-authors of this document would truly disagree that this is a gloomy dark picture.... We do not top up lists of names for students to absorb, in fact to memorize and attach to dates....

    [Cheney] "We are asked to look at King Mansa Musa, an African king, and to admire his wealth. The point is that we don't hold everyone to the same standard. When we look at a phenomenon in another country we say, "Oh that was wonderful..." when we look at it in this country, it becomes an object of derision....

    [Nash] "There are hundreds and thousands of people who have reviewed this book, who have never raised that objection. We have sent out over six thousand copies of five drafts of this book for review to every corner of this country. And this is the first criticism of this sort...

    [Cheney] "The fact that Mr. Nash didn't receive a lot criticism, perhaps speaks for the state of history.... "

    She is right. America's perception of the past has changed. Not only do recent social studies texts bring shame and anger, they drive wedge between parents and children. Poll after poll show that the majority of adult Americans still believe in God and appreciate the nation He established. But their children are taught that the Judeo-Christian values have failed us; now it's time to seek discard the old stories and find "new" models in the world's earth-centered cultures.

    Contrary to revisionist rhetoric, the facts of history prove both America's uniqueness. For over two centuries, our nation offered shelter and freedom to the world's oppressed people. It built schools and hospitals in needy nations that showed no concern for their own poor. It demonstrated a compassion toward far-away tribes that was unthinkable in earth-centered cultures. Yet, the very cultures that abandoned their poor to karmic[11] laws and their enemies to cruel tortures have become classroom models for unity and tolerance. It makes no sense!

    It doesn't have to make sense. The next chapter will show you that facts and reason have been tossed out along with history. Today's politicized curriculum undermines nationalism, discredits the "obsolete" traditions of capitalism and national sovereignty, and transfers children's loyalties from America to a utopian global welfare state.

    From personal freedom to global oneness. While Gary Nash and his panel of historians were rewriting American history, others were gathering worldwide support for an international education system. "[I]ncreasing numbers of educators, particularly those in leadership roles, have moved toward cross-national educational concerns," wrote Professor John I. Goodlad in Schooling for a Global Age, funded by powerful globalist foundations such as the Danforth and Rockefeller Foundations as well as the U.S. Department of Education. Their common goal was "the preparation of better persons for a better world."[12] Around the earth, they would teach their students the same basic "global or humankind" beliefs using the same psychological strategies. If they could inspire all children with a common vision of a planet without national boundaries, the battle for global governance would be won.

    They have come a long way. As if pulled by invisible strings, teachers around the world were introducing the same kind of psycho-social curriculum designed to reprogram children's minds until their beliefs and attitudes conform to global ideals. A report in the American Sociological Review summarized their global progress. It found that "primary-school curricula have become remarkably similar around the world, reflecting the increasing global dominance of a single concept of modern society."[13]

    How did it happen? The chronology in Part 2 traces the steps back to 1919, but in this section we'll begin in November 1985. Leading educators from 12 nations had gathered in the Netherlands for an international-curriculum symposium. One of the sponsors was the ASCD (Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development), the influential curriculum arm of the powerful NEA (National Education Association). Naturally, its executive director, Dr. Gordon Cawelti, was one of the main speakers.

    According to Education Week, Dr. Cawelti "urged representatives of other Western nations and Japan to press for the development of a 'world-core curriculum' based on knowledge that will ensure 'peaceful and cooperative existence among the human species on this planet'."

    Knowledge that would ensure peace and cooperation? What kind of knowledge would that be?

    Education Week explained: "Cawelti's world-core curriculum would be based... on proposals put forth by Robert Muller, assistant secretary-general of the United Nations, in his recent book New Genesis: Shaping a Global Spirituality."[14]

    Do you wonder what kind of "global spirituality" that might be? The following Theosophical statement from Muller's book offers a clue:

    "Once again, but this time on a universal scale, humankind is seeking no less than its reunion with the "divine," its transcendence into ever higher forms of life. Hindus call our earth Brahma, or God, for they rightly see no difference between our earth and the divine. This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning again upon humanity. Its full flowering be the real, great new story of humanity as we are about to enter our cosmic age...."[15]

    After the symposium, Cawelti expressed his appreciation for the positive response to his suggestion. Despite "the pride all countries have in their own core curriculum," he said, all shared a common response "to the urgency of defining what global interdependency means for the schools."[16]

    Since the ASCD so heartily endorsed Muller's World Core Curriculum, how have Muller's ideas influenced our schools? The answer will help us understand the seductive pull of holistic education, which, like holistic medicine, has suddenly won mainstream support. It provides globalists with the spiritual link needed for a plausible vision of a united world, of connectedness with nature, and of the oneness of the human family around the world.

    This is no trivial fringe vision. The much-acclaimed Chech President Vaclav Havel, who joined Michael Gorbachev and other world leaders in San Francisco for the 1995 anniversary celebration of the U.N. Charter, shared the same dream in a speech in Philadelphia on July 4, 1994, when he was awarded the Philadelphia Liberty Medal. Compare his words with those of Robert Muller:

    "The central political task of the final years of this century, then, is the creation of a new model of coexistence within a single interconnected civilization.... The only real hope for people today is probably a renewal of our certainty that we are rooted in the Earth, and at the same time in the cosmos. This awareness endows us with the capacity for self-transcendence.... Transcendence is the only real alternative to extinction.[17]

    Theosophy, Robert Muller and his World Core Curriculum. During a visit to Arlington, Texas, some years ago, a friend took me to see the original Robert Muller school. While she waited in the car, I walked past a little Buddha, climbed the steps to the front door, and rang the bell. Gloria Crook, the Director opened the door and asked why I had come. I listed my credentials: I was interested in global education, was concerned about the environment, and was an immigrant from Norway -- a country well known for its global concerns and admiration for the United Nations.[18]

    I must have passed the test, because she invited me in and led me into a massive hallway. Looking to the left, I saw a room full of young mothers and pregnant women in yoga position. On a table next to the doorway, I noticed a stack of papers. The title startled me: "Occult Meditation."

    To those who don't know God, the occult seems good, not bad, I thought to myself.

    "Are you familiar with Alice Bailey?" she asked me as we entered a large cluttered office.

    "Yes." I nodded, well aware of her links to Theosophy and the occult messages she channeled from her favorite spirit guide. "Didn't she write books full of messages she received from the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul?"

    "Yes," answered Ms Crook. "Here, sit down and look at some of them." She pulled down several of Bailey's books from a shelf and put them in my lap. I silently thanked God for His spiritual protection as I flipped through the pages of the first one, Education in the New Age.

    Then she handed me the Robert Muller World Core Curriculum Manual. I turned a few pages and read,

    "The underlying philosophy upon which the Robert Muller School is based will be found in the teaching set forth in the books of Alice A. Bailey by the Tibetan teacher, Djwhal Khul ...."[19]

    The back of the manual contained two certificates. The first announced that The Robert Muller School "is a participating institution in the UNESCO Associated Schools Project in Education for International Co-operation and Peace." The other confirmed its accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. On behalf of the Southern Association's review team, Dr. Eileen Lynch wrote,

    "The visiting team... was so impressed with the Robert Muller School that they thought the educational process and the general curriculum would be most valuable as a model for teacher education... Throughout this report the committee has recommended that information of the school's educational processes be shared with educators everywhere as much as possible."[20] (Emphasis added)

    Finally Ms Crook pulled two large golden frames from the wall and showed them to me. I shivered when I looked at the first. It pictured a beautiful calligraphied rendition of "The Great Invocation," an occult prayer used around the world to invoke a global outpouring of spiritual light and power.[21]

    The other frame displayed a letter from the White House. President Bush had sent his greetings and appreciation for the contributions made by the school. Did the former president know whom he had endorsed?

    Whether Bush knew Muller or not, the former U.N. leader is no stranger to the educational establishment. You saw that back in 1985, Muller's vision of a World Core Curriculum, as outlined in his book New Genesis: Shaping a Global Spirituality, was endorsed by the powerful ASCD[22] and recommended to enthusiastic educators at an international curriculum symposium. Two years later, it was promoted by Andy LePage in his well-endorsed book on holistic learning, Transforming Education. In the nineties, it is spreading into local school districts.[23]

    For example, Eugene, Oregon, School District 4J developed and published its "Integrated Curriculum K-5" in 1989. Page eleven in this public school curriculum acknowledges that "The three curriculum strands are adapted from the World Core Curriculum by Robert Muller...." The three curriculum strands match those in Muller's book: "Oneness with the planet," "Unity with people," and "Harmony with self." Muller's fourth strand, which deals with evolution through time, is incorporated into the other three strands. In New Genesis: Muller pulls the strands together into one utopian vision:

    "The ecumenical teachings of the Christ [not the Biblical Jesus] - peace, justice, love, compassion, kindness, human brotherhood... must also find their way in world-wide global education. We must give the newcomers into the ceaseless renewed stream of human life the right education about their planetary home, about their human family, about their past, present and future, about their place in the universe and in time, so that they can flower to their utmost beauty - physically, mentally and spiritually - and become joyful and grateful members of the universe or kingdom of God."[24]

    Muller's vision can be seen at a glance in two diagrams for "Defining World Class Education" designed by the Iowa Department of Education. The first diagram, called "The Old Story: Conventional Wisdom" shows an oval picture of the earth with its land and oceans. The globe is surrounded by arrows pointing toward the center and bombarding the planet with terrors like "Domination," "Biocide," "Ecocide," "Earth is Man's to Exploit," "WAR," "Intercultural Conflicts," and "Boundaries."[25]

    The second diagram shows students "the right education about their planetary home." It pictures a rounder, more mystical planet. Titled "The New Story: Transformation," it shows arrows radiating out from the earth. Here the descriptions reflect the vision of a healthy harmonious planet: "Beyond War," "Humanity Evolving," "Reverence for all Life," "Interconnectedness; We are All One," and "Gaia"--a spiritualized Earth renamed after an ancient Greek goddess.

    This mystical teaching tool was fabricated by tax-funded educators, not fringe fanaticals. The paradigm shift it promotes has gained enough acceptance to be established in local classrooms as well at global symposiums. Listen to the message in "The Peacemakers Planetary Anthem" sung to the melody of the Star Spangled Banner during an assembly at an elementary school in Sunnyvale, California. Encouraging children to imagine a peaceful planet with pristine forests and crystal-clear rivers, it begins with this millennial view:

    O say can you see

    by the one light in all,

    A New Age to embrace

    at the call of the nations....[26]

    Now compare the Iowa chart and the California song to Muller's vision of a world united through global education and evolving spiritually toward ultimate perfection:

    "We need a new world education. Global education, namely the education of the children into our global home and into the human family, is making good progress. But we have to go beyond. We need the cosmic education foreseen by the religions and by people like Maria Montessori. We need a holistic education, teaching the holism of the universe and of the planet...."[27]

    Muller didn't mention Waldorf Schools, but they fit right in. Their founder, Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), shared Alice Bailey's occult roots in Theosophy, but broke away to start his own cult, Anthroposophy, which he described as "knowledge produced by the higher self in man."[28] Like the Robert Muller schools, Waldorf schools offer holistic education and have long used the strategies now implemented in all states through Mastery Learning: whole language instead of phonics, stories and "literature" instead of factual history, and a strong emphasis on myth, imagination, guided imagery, art, creativity, movement (Steiner's founded eurythmy: movement as as art), and spiritual oneness with nature.[29]

    Global Education is still Muller's driving ambition. His main headquarters are now in Costa Rica where he serves as Chancellor of the University of Peace, which is sponsored by the United Nations as a model for education in the 21st Century.

    In 1989, UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) awarded him its Peace Education Prize. In his acceptance speech, Muller shared his vision of the new world education program. Part of his dream was...

    • "That all schools and universities of this Earth will teach peace and non-violence and become schools and universities for peace;

    • "That UNESCO will study and recommend by the year 2000 a world core curriculum for adoption by all nations;

    • "That all human beings of this earth become instruments of peace, thus fulfilling the cosmic function deeply engraved in each of us...[30]

    By the time Muller shared this vision, the world had already made a giant leap toward fulfilling it. The World Conference on Education for All (WCEFA). When UNESCO convened a conference that drew delegates from 155 countriestp Jomtien, Thailand, in 1990 to plan the international agenda for education, Muller's heart must have been singing. His vision for world education was nearing reality. Within five days in early March, the world's leaders reached consensus on six international goals. Like the six U.S. goals prepared by the Bush administration (America 2000) and later adopted by the Clinton administration (Goals 2000 added two goals ), the international goals call for implementation by year 2000. Notice the similarities between the two sets of goals:

    OBAMA IS EVIL

    By: Marion Valentine
    April 20, 2009 at 8:34 am


    By John Lillpop Monday, April 20, 2009

    Until recently, Barack Obama seemed little more than a badly misinformed leftist, unqualified for the presidency because of inexperience and naive allegiance to progressive “solutions” long ago abandoned by those with the honesty and guts to face truth.

    In fact, Obamamania seemed more about the dumbing down of America than about the man himself. How else to explain the mercurial rise of an unknown inexperienced senator whose appeal was limited to being “clean and articulate”?

    To be sure, Obama has always been a very dangerous threat to America’s defense, economy, and values. But he was more “useful idiot” than anti-American heretic.

    However, the full measure of the danger posed by the Obama presidency became known this week when the administration released memos concerning harsh interrogation methods employed by the Bush administration.

    As reported, in part, at http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/04/19/cia.torture.chief/index.html “ title="CNN.Com">CNN.Com:

    “A former head of the CIA slammed President Obama on Sunday for releasing four Bush-era memos, saying the new president has compromised national security

    “Michael Hayden, who served as former President Bush’s last CIA director from 2006 to 2009, said releasing the memos outlining terror interrogation methods emboldened terrorist groups such as al Qaeda.

    “What we have described for our enemies in the midst of a war are the outer limits that any American would ever go to in terms of interrogating an al Qaeda terrorist. That’s very valuable information,” Hayden said during an appearance on “Fox News Sunday.”

    “By taking [certain] techniques off the table, we have made it more difficult—in a whole host of circumstances I can imagine—for CIA officers to defend the nation,” he said.”

    The burning, unanswered questions in all of this are:

    Why did Obama release these inflammatory, dangerous memos? What did he hope to accomplish with this unprecedented defiance of intelligence professionals, an act bordering on treason and sedition?

    How could America’s Commander-in-chief, responsible for the lives and well being of over 300 million Americans, risk even one of those lives with an unnecessary and foolish release of vital intelligence information?

    The answer: Barack Obama is much more than inexperienced, naive, and inept: He is pure evil!

    THE OBAMA TRANSNATIONAL IRONY

    By: Marion Valentine
    April 19, 2009 at 2:12 pm

    Written by Zach Jones

    Sovereignty, Eligibility & War crimes

    A few weeks ago, Obama selected attorney Harold Koh to be the State Department’s top lawyer; and this pick quickly set off a fire storm of controversy. Evidently, Mr. Koh has on numerous occasions indicated that he believes the Transnational philosophy that espouses supremacy of certain international laws and treaties over the laws and Constitutions of individual nation states, including the United States of America. Given Obama’s repeated assertion that he is also a citizen of the world, this should not come as a surprise but as a wake up call.

    What this means is nicely summarized by Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice -

      …Now, here's the danger. Dean Koh is a smart guy… But what he is proposing is to take the State Department — he is not going to be a senior lawyer at the State Department, he is going to be the lawyer at the State Department, the chief counsel, and he is basically saying, we take our American experience and if it doesn't mesh with the rest of the world, the rest of the world wins….

    Each time Obama agrees to allow the world community (UN et. al.) to set up organizations and courts that can control the regulation of American businesses, financial institutions, environmental concerns, our military, our intelligence agencies, individuals, or trade; all of which should rightfully be within the purview of the individual states and/or the federal government, he is surrendering the sovereignty of both. There will come a point when all the chipping away at sovereignty will leave the United States Constitution as nothing more than a guide or museum artifact.

    The left’s assault on the Constitution is unfortunately not limited to their international law deference. Not only are Obama’s actions at this year’s G-20 and selections such as Harold Koh putting at risk the sovereignty of the Constitution of the United States vis-à-vis international laws, regulations and treaties; Obama and Congress appear to be going at break neck speed to usurp and/or trample powers guaranteed to the States under Tenth Amendment of the Constitution.

    The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:

      The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.

    Power flows from the people and the states to the federal government and not the other way around as many in Congress believe.

    Nancy Pelosi’s government is clearly willing to chip away at powers and rights that historically have been retained by the states and the people. They are attempting to coerce governors to take federal stimulus money, linking federal funding to states passing certain other legislation, over taxing, attempting to regulate/manipulate gun rights, smoking, gas prices, businesses, the internet, contracts, market risk, what is grown, tilling, drilling, energy, etc. though any means possible (direct or indirect, with rewards, punishment and taxation). To get to guns there are rumors that Congress is considering taxing guns and ammunition out of people’s ability to pay.

    Governor Rick Perry of Texas recently expressed his concern and support for efforts to push back on the Congressional grab for power:

      “I believe that our federal government has become oppressive in its size, its intrusion into the lives of our citizens, and its interference with the affairs of our state,” Gov. Perry said. “That is why I am here today to express my unwavering support for efforts all across our country to reaffirm the states’ rights affirmed by the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. I believe that returning to the letter and spirit of the U.S. Constitution and its essential 10th Amendment will free our state from undue regulations, and ultimately strengthen our Union.”

    If fact, scores of states are warning the federal government to back off its encroachment on their power! (Of course the media is ignoring this phenomenon just like they did Rezko, Wright, Larry Sinclair, Ayers, Birth Certificate/Eligibility, Tea Parties, etc.)

    So it’s becoming crystal clear that the sovereignty of our Constitution and the powers retained by the states and the people are under attack by the Obama administration.

    Not only are these under attack, but also the people themselves, those who are the backbone of this country, are now being attacked and vilified by the federal government. Recently, Homeland Security issued a warning to law enforcement about a rise in “rightwing extremist activity”. In footnotes, they gave as examples of such of rightwing extremist activity, the following:

      .."rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority...

      …It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration…

    According to the report some disgruntled returning war veterans may also swell the ranks of rightwing extremists. Will there be a government test of veteran gruntleness administered by ACORN?

    I guess this means that Gov. Perry is now a domestic terrorist. Gov. Perry is also opposed to abortion so I suppose Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano will be coming to lock him up. I would bet that his belief in the Second Amendment will be the final strike for Gov. Perry - getting him solitary confinement. It’s a good thing Gov. Perry is not a returning Veteran or who knows what would happen to him.

    This morning I heard a National Public Radio report on this Homeland Security document and they too seem eager to take part in getting the tag/label of “rightwing extremist” in the public’s psyche with no mention that millions of patriotic Americans have been included its definition (returning veterans, those supporting limited federal government, those opposed to single issues like illegal immigration, abortion, second amendment? free-speech? Tenth Amendment?).

    What has happened to America when the good guys are now portrayed as bad? Obama threw his own grandmother during the election and now he’s throwing millions of grandmothers, grandfathers, dads, moms, sisters, and brothers under the bus for believing in the Constitution.

    Nevertheless, the Obama Administration’s current race to yield American sovereignty to the world may lead to some unexpected consequences that might yield a great deal of irony for Mr. Obama and America.

    A few days ago I saw a news article that indicated that “Criminal proceedings have begun in Spain against six senior officials in the Bush administration for the use of torture against detainees in Guantánamo Bay. “ This action appears to be based in part on the fact that the United States is a signatory to the 1984 UN Convention against Torture that requires states to investigate allegations of torture committed on their territory or by their nationals, or extradite them to stand trial elsewhere. The argument goes that because these six officials were giving critical advice to President Bush, without which "it would have been impossible to structure a legal framework that supported what happened [in Guantánamo]", they can be held criminally liable.

    If Spain issues arrest warrants for Alberto Gonzales, a former White House counsel and attorney general; David Addington, former vice-president Dick Cheney's chief of staff; Douglas Feith, who was under-secretary of defense; William Haynes, former Pentagon general counsel; and John Yoo and Jay Bybee, senior justice department legal advisers – Obama is going to be put in a fairly difficult position.

    He will need to either start a criminal investigation here in the United States or deal with an extradition request from Spain. It might be possible for him, with a wink and a nod, to start an investigation and conclude the accused were simply giving advice that every President needs to govern and end it; or he might start an investigation and drag it out until he’s out of office. I believe the wink and nod would have to be there for Obama to pull that off. A simple statement that every President needs candid advice would probably not suffice to keep Spain from proceeding.

    If Obama orders a real criminal investigation of these individuals or extradition, surely he will be opening himself up to Dr. Orly Taitz’s eligibility dragon raising its head and talons coming to the aid of these defendants. Dr. Orly Taitz is one of a number of attorneys across the country who have brought over 50 lawsuits challenging Obama eligibility to serve as President of the United States. If Obama does prove to be ineligible to serve as President of the United States - then his every order, directive, instruction, law signed and appointment (including the attorney general) made will be invalid. To date no judge has allowed an evidentiary hearing on the merits of the basic allegation that Obama is not a “natural born citizen” under the Constitution. However, given that the rights of the criminal accused to be heard, confront his accusers and to due process are paramount in American Jurisprudence that might have to change. (It is fairly certain that at least a few of these defendants would have had access to documents and reports raising Obama’s birth certificate controversy.)

    What bigger violation of a criminally accused’ rights is there than to be investigated, prosecuted or extradited by a political appointee of a person usurping the Office of the President? Seems like a perfect opportunity to challenge the validity, authority and due process of the entire proceeding; and the legitimacy of the prosecutor. Such a challenge by the accused would also serve to drag out the process and give time rally public opinion against transnationalism. The political witch hunt of the century by a possibly illegitimate President would make great headlines. The defendants might also argue that because of Obama’s apparent lack of eligibility they are being deprived of the right to plead for pardon from the President of the United States. (Attorney General Holder has had volumes of Dr. Orly Taitz’s documentation for weeks/months and has so far failed to make sure the Constitution’s requirements have been complied with. Why? Conflict of interest? Catch 22? Why not recuse himself? )

    What a circus it could be, and a circus may be just what is needed to break the media’s wall of silence regarding Obama’s probable lack of eligibility to hold the Office of the President.

    In such a circus, the American media would not be able to continue in lockstep to suppress, misrepresent, mischaracterize, and/or gloss over allegations which could very well reveal the biggest fraud in the history of the Republic. How could they resist reporting if there are allegations involving President Bush’s people? The media still hates President Bush and the media’s (CNN, ABC, NBC, MS-NBC, FOX) satellite dishes would quickly surround the court house just like the O.J. trial.

    If this does get fully before the public, there is enough evidence and circumstantial evidence to convince most Americans that this issue must be fully addressed in court. Dr. Orly Taitz and Philip Berg need only to get enough people to look behind the curtain, to call their representatives, judges, local newspapers – they need to get to the tipping point.

    If Obama denies extradition, then Dr. Orly Taitz and Mr. Berg might want to fly to Spain and make the case (present evidence) that Obama and his appointees do not have the authority to deny Spain’s extradition request? They could make their case to the foreign press. Again, the tipping point needs to be reached to overcome the American media’s mischief.

    I guess we can see why Mr. Obama would like for the Constitution to slip into obsolescence and is trying to have Homeland Security lump everyone who opposes him into the camp of rightwing extremists.

    Obama may also want to think carefully about some other international laws and institutions that the United States has not yet signed on to.

    The main one is the International Criminal Court (ICC).

    The International Criminal Court -

      Pursuant to the Rome Statute, the Prosecutor can initiate an investigation on the basis of a referral from any State Party or from the United Nations Security Council. In addition, the Prosecutor can initiate investigations proprio motu on the basis of information on crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court received from individuals or organizations (“communications”).

      To date, three States Parties to the Rome Statute – Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic – have referred situations occurring on their territories to the Court. In addition, the Security Council has referred the situation in Darfur, Sudan – a nonState Party.

    What’s the basis of these actions? War Crimes

    Let’s see, if the facts as alleged are true concerning Obama’s possible lack of eligibility?

    What’s the legal ramification in regards to possible war crimes of a person who is knowingly usurping the Office of the Presidency; and thru that authority, the position of Commander In Chief of the United States Military? Would that be a war crime in and of itself should any deaths or injuries occur on the battle field following such a person’s “orders”? What do the civilians in Pakistan think about Obama’s orders to send predator drones to shoot missiles into their villages? If the facts as alleged against Obama’s eligibility are true, would Pakistan think Obama’s orders are lawful or war crimes? Would the International Criminal Court in The Hague think so?

    Boy, it’s a good thing for Obama that he has not signed America on to the Rome Statute!

    Will the doctrine of Respondeat Superior, also known as command responsibility, protect our military members from liability for following orders from Obama? With so many legitimate questions and allegations about Obama’s status as a “natural born citizen” becoming widely known in military and political circles, and his continuing relentless efforts to keep out of public view the documents that can so easily verify the facts of eligibility one way or the other, who knows?

      The Nuremberg trials established that persons cannot use the defense that they were only following the orders of their superiors, if that order violates international norms but especially that superiors that ordered, or "should have known," of such violations yet failed to intervene are also criminally liable.

    I guess it begs the question – Is it an international norm that a nation’s military must be led and orders issued by one with legitimate authority?

    Obama might want to consider these possibilities before signing away any more American sovereignty.

    I’m always amazed that Obama would put our military is such a position when all he needs to do to prove his is eligibility is to produce his long form birth certificated and the few other requested documents. That doesn’t seem like a big deal, but putting a young soldier in the position to have to question whether he or she is following “lawful orders” and therefore living up to their duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States is a big deal.

    However, if Obama does sign the U.S. on to the Rome Statutes, then at least any American Military defendants should be able to challenge Obama’s ability to commit America to the Rome Statute. Not a “natural born citizen” = not an American President.

    Where’s code pink on all this?

    Obama's Friends

    A few weeks ago, the Obama administration made it clear to the world, that they do not consider people like Bin Laden, or organizations like Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad or Hamas, to be “terrorists” and went so far as to rename the international “war on terror,” the “overseas contingency operation,” so as not to further offend any of these folks.

    Then, his Department of Homeland Security issued a new “terror report” redefining “terrorists” to include legal American citizens openly opposed to illegal immigration, abortion, socialism, and people who trample on their First, Second, Ninth and Tenth Amendment Rights, aka, “rightwing extremists.” The Founders were “Domestic Terrorists” According to Obama’s DHS

    Now, Obama Seeks Equal Partnerships in Hemisphere, namely, with Castro’s Communist Cuba and Communist thug Hugo Chavez in Venezuela, both of whom despise everything America is or ever was… and always will.

    Unless of course, Obama is successful in his massive effort to reduce the United States to “equal” status with third world communist dictatorships, in which case, he will most certainly be a hero to folks like Chavez and Castro.

    Over a million American taxpayers, of all political stripes and walks of life, took to American streets to protest the direction of the new administration and its efforts to reduce America to equal third world status, economically, militarily, in every way possible. The Obama administration belittled and ridiculed the historic events…

    Obama was not only elected under his political idol’s Rules for Radicals, he governs by these rules.

    Saul Alinsky’s 1971 book Rules for Radicals, provides a collection of rules to guide the process. But he emphasizes these rules must be translated into real-life tactics that are fluid and responsive to the situation at hand.

    1. “Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have.”

    2. “Never go outside the expertise of your people. When an action or tactic is outside the experience of the people, the result is confusion, fear and retreat....”

    3. “Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy. Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty.

    4. “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”

    5. “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It is almost impossible to counteract ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.”

    6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”

    7. “A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag. Man can sustain militant interest in any issue for only a limited time....”

    8. “Keep the pressure on, with different tactics and actions, and utilize all events of the period for your purpose.”

    9. “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”

    10. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”

    11. “If you push a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through into its counterside… every positive has its negative.”

    12. “The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”

    13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and ‘frozen.’…

    The fact that Obama’s administration uses these tactics not against Islamic terrorists, or third world communist dictators, but instead, average freedom loving American citizens, is maybe the most telling fact concerning the man and his administration.

    His belittling reaction to last week’s Tea Party events was not nearly as friendly, welcoming or inclusive, as his overtures to Iran, Chavez or Castro. Clearly agitated by any dissenting views or commentaries from those who oppose his “populist” agenda, which is only popular with folks who don’t like America much, the Rules for Radicals become increasingly, well, radical…

    That’s because Obama indeed, has more in common with his peeps, Castro, Chavez, Alinsky and Ayers, than he has ever, or will ever, have in common with the average American. And like his mentors and heroes of the so-called “people’s movement,” (aka socialist or communist proletariat movement), he seeks to silence, personalize, isolate and polarize his enemies.

    And when all else fails, Redirect...

    Faced with the prospect of headline reports of a million Americans protesting his agenda in the streets, he released Top Secret CIA interrogation memos from the previous administration in order to redirect public attention away from a growing public dissent against his administration, and back on to the Bush administration.

    Although Obama immediately eliminated any possibility of charging CIA interrogators with any sort of crime, and even though the information contained in these memos had been public for some time, the left-leaning news media, which also ignored or belittled the Tea Parties, replaced news of widespread public anger over Socialist Obama policies with old news about CIA interrogation procedures. Procedures, that even Obama will authorize in the end…

    One of the most common “Rules for Radicals” tactics is to misdirect attention away from the agenda that might meet with resistance, and focus the public on something else, preferably, something that will capture their emotions.

    This is why Obama never makes a public speech without reminding the audience that he is the “anti-Bush,” even though in matters of national security, he has yet to change a single Bush policy, other than to rename them and expose them, using the exploitation of previous Top Secret security measures to provide proof of a “more transparent” presidency.

    But, the man willing to release secret Bush security memos while still at war with those same enemies, is still not willing to release his own birth or college records. He is making the Bush administration more transparent, but not his own.

    This too is a common Rule for Radicals.

    “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign.”

    In the first 90 days in power, the Obama administration has attacked...

    • The free-market economy
    • Free speech
    • Religious expression
    • Gun Rights
    • Individual Liberty
    • National sovereignty
    • National Security agencies and policies
    • Individual freedom

    Meanwhile, he has worked to “unite” America with anti-American communist Cuba, Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez, Iran and Hamas, while redefining average American citizens and US soldiers who oppose all of it, as “domestic terrorists.”

    This emboldens his faithful followers and ignites a firestorm of dissent from his enemies, the American people, whom he has already labeled for press and law enforcement benefit, as nutty rightwing extremists on the verge of becoming domestic terrorists.

    CNN, reporter Susan Roesgen did her best to follow Obamanation talking points by labeling Tea Party protesters as Fox News stooges who didn’t understand that Obama had given them a $400 tax credit… as if that will make a dent in the economic chaos being created by leftwing nuts running wild in DC.

    The left is at least ten steps ahead of the American right. The DHS report was not a shot across the bow of American conservatives. It was an effort to get out in front of impending headlines and establish for the record, that anyone who disagrees with Obama is a “racist,” ‚Äì a “rightwing radical,” ‚Äì or even a “domestic terrorist,” in the spirit of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

    It’s much more than an info war. It sets the stage for future conflict, in which government officials at local law enforcement, the intelligence community and the Department of Defense will be on the lookout for dangerous subversives that wave the American flag, stand up for innocent life, cling to their bibles or guns, seek to uphold or defend the Constitution or God forbid, ask the Resident-in-thief for a copy of his birth or college records, which are clearly more sensitive than Top Secret national security memos.

    In the end, it’s all just a little too surreal

    The best place to hide such an agenda is right out in the open. In a way, the Obama administration is indeed transparent. One does not need much imagination to see what the administration believes in, or is up to…

    Making friends with real terrorist thugs, while redefining the average American citizen as a terrorist, is quite transparent. Sharing $400 million in US taxpayer revenue with known terrorists in Hamas also sends an obvious message, both to terrorists and American citizens.

    And Obama’s suggestion that the US Constitution is an outdated piece of paper full of “negative Rights” that should be tossed away and replaced by a more progressive form of government better aligned with the ideas of Karl Marx and Bill Ayers, is also very telling.

    The enemy can operate right out in the open if their agenda is so extreme that it is hard for the average citizen to believe. And that is exactly where America is today.

    Despite literally hundreds of anti-American signals from the new administration, most Americans remain full of “hope” for “change,” without ever grasping the very real forms of “change” taking place right before their eyes.

    Obama’s peeps are not average Americans. They are run of the mill anti-Americans, of both the foreign and domestic sorts. They are his birds of a feather, and together, they are indeed “making history.”

    When the average Americans catches up, and realizes that the anti-American changes underway in America are of the sort that foreign enemies of our state welcome them with open arms, they will have second thoughts about the changes they had once hoped for…

    Until then, the dismantling of America, by Obama and his peeps, will continue… Castro and Chavez even asked if there was anything they could do to help.... and I’m sure Obama will think of something.
