Putting a gun to the public's head: "Government's most essential function is to protect citizens.... Camden, N.J., is one of the most dangerous cities in the nation....In fact, Camden was rated the 'most dangerous city in America' in 2003, 2004 and 2008.... So what did the city fathers of Camden do when faced with a $25.5 million budget deficit? They voted Thursday to lay off 200 police and firefighters along with 200 other city workers....

      "Laying off police and firefighters guarantees that lives will be lost in Camden because of the [liberal] council's gamesmanship. But this kind of thing works. Hit the public where it hurts."

Admiral to Christians: 'Find another place to work, Period! "The pro-homosexual Admiral Mike Mullen said in hearings Friday that 'intense' training will be forced upon combat troops who resist open homosexual sin, and those Christians who refuse to shower or sleep with homosexuals can 'find another place to work. Period.'"

Remember what President George Washington said more than two centuries ago: "Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair [find refuge]; the rest is in the hands of God." How America has changed since then!

November 2010

McCain: 264,600 may quit military: "...critics are also warning that accepting open homosexuality and pro-homosexual 'reprogramming' could drive massive numbers of troops out of the service.... Maginnis said the results of the survey consistently show that two service members oppose DADT repeal for every supporter... 'Their message is that the potential exists for disruption of the successful execution of our current combat mission should repeal be implemented at this time,' said Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Amos."

ACORN bankruptcy a hoax: "ACORN is already planning to reorganize under a new name, says analyst Matthew Vadum.'...'ACORN did not die and will not die at the conclusion of the bankruptcy proceeding.'

     "...the ACORN affiliate President Obama worked for in the early 1990s, is noted radical professor Frances Fox Piven. Piven, an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America, is one of the authors of the so-called Cloward-Piven strategy. The 1960s proposal sought to bring socialist revolution to the United States by flooding cities with welfare applicants, bankrupting them, and provoking an economic and political collapse.... ACORN is a shell corporation that runs hundreds of nonprofit affiliates." See From Freedom to Servitude - Part 1

Auditions for nude reality show to air live online from Land O'Lakes: "Producers of a proposed all-nude reality television show plan to stream next month's auditions live over the Internet. Atlantic Overseas Pictures Inc. said it made the decision due to the overwhelming response from the media, networks and aspiring cast to the new nude reality TV show..." See Moral & Cultural Corruption

Islam at gates because of collapse of West: "Massive mosques erected across America, including on the site of a buildings struck by the 9/11 attacks; more Muslims in Washington's power structure than ever before; presidential celebrations of 'Iftar;' and the formal recognition of Islam's power inside America's business world with footbaths and prayer times.

    "...the collapse of the West is not because Islam is at the gates, (but) Islam is at the gates because of the collapse of the West.' The verdict comes from Global Information Systems, an intelligence network whose unclassified analysis is used by the U.S. government.... Copley describes a 'gathering storm' engulfing the eastern Mediterranean region, spawned by a relative strategic decline in America's ability to sustain its projection of global military dominance." See America's Spiritual Slide

October 2010

Court allows use of fake Social Security Number: "The Colorado Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of a man who admitted using someone else's Social Security number to obtain a loan, concluding that the defendant wasn't really trying to assume a false identity." See Deception

Vets say 'gay' ruling must be appealed: "While the actual law adopted by Congress after hearings and debate at the time determines there is no constitutional right to serve in the military, the practice ordered by Clinton allowed homosexuals to be in the military if they 'didn't tell.' ... The Pentagon said it would comply with the order, which appeared to cancel all investigations of those homosexuals who had made their lifestyle a public issue while in the military... 'Our military is engaged in two wars,' [National Commander Foster] said. 'Military commanders have much more important issues to deal with. This is not about politics. It's about doing what's best for our troops and not distracting from the war effort. Our military should not be micro-managed by judicial edicts.'" Depravity

Did Clinton help create a 'convenient crisis'?  9/11 Cover-Up: "Some of the additional redactions [from a revealing 'memoir'] were clearly intended to protect sensitive intelligence-gathering techniques. ... The DIA wanted to delete references to a meeting between Mr. Shaffer and Philip Zelikow, the executive director of the 9/11 Commission. At this meeting, Mr. Shaffer says he told the commissioner that Sept. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta had been identified before the attacks by the Special Operation Command's 'Able Danger' program. The DIA has long tried to squelch this discussion.

     "On Sept. 21, 2005, Attorney Mark Zaid - representing Mr. Shaffer and others who worked on Able Danger but were ordered not to discuss it - testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on this and other matters. He said, "It is Lt. Col. Shaffer's specific recollection that he informed those in attendance, which included several Defense Department personnel, that Able Danger had identified two of the three successful 9/11 cells to include Atta....' This matter was not mentioned in the final 9/11 report.....I

     "If the government had specific information on the al Qaeda terror cells planning the Sept. 11 attacks dating back to 2000, it would be a severe embarrassment to Clinton administration officials who were in office at the time. Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger pled guilty in 2005 to removing and destroying classified material from the National Archives that may have had a bearing on the issue. Now the government is attempting to keep Mr. Shaffer muzzled on what he knew. If nothing else, this strange episode will reenergize the critical questions regarding the official story about what the Clinton administration knew before the Sept. 11 attacks, and why they failed to take effective action."

New York Violating MOVE Act: "More than one week after its extended deadline, New York still hasn’t mailed out absentee ballots to all its 320,000 military servicemen and women and overseas voters....'The gravity of New York's failure cannot be overstated. With approximately 50,000 military and overseas voters in New York City alone, there is no doubt that the November elections could be altered by this failure.'...

     "E-mail requests for comment sent to the co-directors, other Board of Elections officials and its spokesman were not returned..... Sen. Schumer said: "Put these ballots on the next plane to Afghanistan. These soldiers sacrifice their lives to protect our freedoms, they should never, ever be denied their right to vote. I wrote and passed this law so our brave men and women overseas would no longer be disenfranchised and there is absolutely no excuse for failing to get this done."

 

Firemen Explosion Testimony: "This video was received from NIST under the Freedom of Information Act."

Penny-Wise on Crime (by Thomas Sowell): "...the political left has been coming up with reasons why criminals should not be punished as much, or at all....According to the New York Times, 'a three-year prison sentence would run more than $37,000 while probation would cost $6,770.' For a more serious crime, where a 5-year imprisonment would cost more than $50,000, it would cost less than $9,000 for what is described as 'five years of intensive probation.'...

     "What is the cost of turning criminals loose? Phrases like 'intensive probation' may create the illusion that criminals at large are somehow under control of the authorities but illusions are especially dangerous when it comes to crime....

     "Why are we counting only the cost to the government of putting a criminal behind bars, but not the cost to the public of turning him loose? Some may say that it is not possible to quantify the costs of the dangers and anxieties of the public when more criminals are walking the streets. That is certainly true, if you mean the full costs. But we can quantify the money costs-- and just the money costs to the public vastly exceed the costs to the government of locking up criminals. In Britain, where the 'alternatives to incarceration' vogue has led to only 7 percent of convicted criminals being put behind bars, the annual cost of the prison system has been estimated at just under two billion pounds sterling. Meanwhile, the annual financial cost alone of crimes committed against the public has been an estimated sixty billion pounds sterling....

      "In all these calculations we are leaving out the costs of violence, intimidation and the fears that people have for the safety of themselves and their children, not to mention the sense of helplessness and outrage when the society refuses to pay as much attention to innocent victims as they lavish on the criminals who victimize them." See Ban truth - Reap tyranny

September 2010

Is this why Bloomberg champions Ground Zero mosque? "Bloomberg, a staunch supporter of the proposed Islamic cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero, recently has been expanding his business dealings in the Arab and Muslim world, including opening a new 'Islamic finance portal.'...The new hub will covers Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal."

August 2010

Federal Salaries Now Twice That of Private Sector: "So while private workers across America watch their jobs disappear... privileged federal bureaucrats enjoy earnings that reach twice the size of the very private workers who pay them. The analysis also noted that federal salaries have grown 33% faster than inflation since 2000...." See See Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America

Obama's Big Labor Ethics Loophole: "While serving as an associate general counsel for both the SEIU and AFL-CIO in 2009, Becker....served as an Obama transition team member for labor issues and helped draft several union-backed executive orders. These new rules essentially blackball non-union contractors targeted by labor organizers and blacklist non-union employees in the private sector from working on taxpayer-funded projects....

      "Becker has also acknowledged playing a key role in providing 'advice and counsel' to the powerful SEIU affiliate in Illinois..."

The State Department’s Islamic Supremacist: "It’s unbelievable but true: the imam of the projected Islamic supremacist mega-mosque at Ground Zero, Feisal Abdul Rauf, is on a grand tour to Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates – paid for by the U.S. State Department with taxpayer money." See Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America

It's official! Social Security now bankrupt: "This year, Social Security is estimated to pay out some $29 billion more than is taken in." See Deceit, Delusion and the Destruction of America

 

Obama's immigration back door -- The federal government has become the enemy of the law: "The Obama administration's way to deal with the problem of illegal immigration is to declare it legal. This is the upshot of an 11-page memo from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) about 'Administrative alternatives to comprehensive immigration reform.' As the title suggests, it is a compendium of backdoor measures the executive branch claims it can take without having to deal with pesky things like congressional authorization." See Corruption

Black members of tea party dispute racist claims: "The black members said the racism that has been attributed to the tea party movement came from outsiders who infiltrated the groups to discredit their work... 'These people do not oppose Barack Obama because of his skin color. They oppose him because of his policies,' said Lloyd Marcus, a spokesman for the group.

    "The NAACP last month approved a resolution condemning racism within the tea party movement."

Elena Kagan tied to Obama's birth certificate: "'She was the solicitor general for all the suits against him filed with the Supreme Court to show proof of natural-born citizenship.'...'He owes her big time.'...'All of the requests were denied of course,' Jorgensen continued. 'They were never heard....The American people mean nothing any longer. It's all about payback time.... The USA has finally become the laughing stock of the world. God help and deliver us." See Human Nature

DOJ accused of stalling on MOVE Act for voters in military: "The Department of Justice is ignoring a new law aimed at protecting the right of American soldiers to vote....'It is an absolute shame that the section appears to be spending more time finding ways to avoid the MOVE Act, rather than finding ways to ensure that military voters [who are loyal to America] will have their votes counted.'"

The Most Amoral Foreign Policy in Decades: "...the Obama Administration has been quick to bow to power and overlook atrocity. Our China policy highlights the pattern. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton set the tone early on when she stated, 'Our pressing on those issues [Chinese human rights abuses] can’t interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate-change crisis and the security crisis.'

     "...the Obama Administration has been equally silent when it comes to less prosperous oppressors. For one long week, President Obama refused to comment as Iran’s Ahmadinejad stole an election and brutally crushed a peaceful popular protest.... Our policy in Sudan—a nation guilty of genocide in Darfur—has been equally troubling."

Feds Were Asleep at the Switch When Minnesota Felons Went to the Polls: "...hundreds of felons voted in the election in which Al Franken, a Democrat, beat then-incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman by just 312 votes..."

Promises Undelivered: "The largest government advertising campaign in history–$300 million–was spent to convince minority Americans that answering Census questions is the way to get a slice of $400 billion in federal money.

     "To reach the spread of nationalities... African American, Caribbean, African, and Haitian audiences... the head agency for the 2010 Census Communications Campaign, signed up Globalhue multicultural advertising agency...and hip hop Disturbing the Peace Records. This most expensive advertising campaign in U.S. government history had as its sole purpose: motivating the elusive hard-to-count [4] young, single black males and black single females with children, poor, underprivileged, folks with criminal issues, and immigrants.....

     "Illegal immigrants,even tens of thousands being held at detention stations across the country awaiting deportation, were being counted even though they were gone long before any final tallies are made....The cost of the 2010 Census has been $14.5 billion, compared with $4.5 billion in 2000. Political fat is not cheap." See Rules for Radicals

Afghans diverting U.S. cash for luxury villas -- Corruption described as reaching the 'very top': "Billions of dollars in U.S. reconstruction cash designated for Afghanistan's restoration is being siphoned off and handed over to well-to-do Afghans who in turn are buying luxury villas in Dubai....The money – actual cash – is quietly flown out of the Afghan capital of Kabul in boxes and suitcases to the United Arab Emirates."

Is 2010 Census Counting Homeless People Twice?: "The report indicated that the Census manual... specifically instructed workers to recount people who said they had already been counted." See Corruption

Detained immigrants may help bring in census money: "Paulo Sergio Alfaro-Sanchez, an illegal immigrant being held at a detention center in Washington state, had no idea that the federal government would count him in the census. No one gave him a census form. No one told him his information would be culled from the center's records. But counted he was, along with other illegal immigrants facing deportation in detention centers across the country — about 30,000 people on any given day.... By the time the census delivers the total tallies to the state and federal government, most of the immigrants will be long gone..."

Saving Soldiers from Gay Death: "There is a simple reason why the gay rights lobby is trying to rush through repeal of the Pentagon’s homosexual exclusion policy. They know that a comprehensive review of a proposed change would disclose the substantial evidence that admission of open and active homosexuals would put our troops in further danger through exposure to tainted blood.... The gay rights lobby is labeling as 'offensive' a new video that exposes homosexual misconduct in the Armed Forces and wants it taken down from YouTube."

Sestak White House scandal called 'impeachable offense': "The controversy revolves around an oft-repeated statement by Rep. Sestak, D-Pa., that he had been offered a job by the Obama administration in exchange for dropping out of the senatorial primary against Obama supporter Sen. Arlen Specter. Sestak said he refused the offer. He continued in the Senate primary and defeated Specter for the Democratic nomination.... 'This is a pretty extraordinary charge: 'They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job,' he said..."

Two more Census workers blow the whistle: "Last week, one of the millions of workers hired by Census 2010 to parade around the country counting Americans blew the whistle on some statistical tricks....Naomi Cohn... was hired and fired a number of times by Census. Each time she was hired back, it seems, Census was able to report the creation of a new job to the Labor Department.... For the past two months the hiring by Census has made up a good portion of the new jobs. Labor doesn't check the Census hiring figure or whether the jobs are actually new or recycled. It considers a new job to have been created if someone is hired to work at least one hour a month. One hour!...

    "Here's a note from a Census worker...: 'I am on my fourth rehire with the 2010 Census.... I have been hired, trained for a week, given a few hours of work, then laid off. So my unemployed self now counts for four new jobs.'... These are my tax dollars and your tax dollars at work." See Rules for Radicals

 

£20m compensation for thousands of people burned by 'toxic sofas': "Up to 100,000 sofas [from China] were sold with the 'highly sensitising' chemical dimethyl fumarate, known as DMF, inside them.... People struck down by the chemical were said to have suffered severe skin or eye complaints, breathing problems and other medical conditions..... The nine-month-old toddler suffered severe burns and rashes." Moral Corruption

'Nuclear war has been declared on the Irish church by its critics': "The Irish Church has been central to the Irish people for sixteen centuries. Even as we stumble through a spectacular economic collapse; people also now speak of the imminent collapse of the Irish Church. The Dublin Report on child abuse in the Church was published last November, just as the worst floods in recorded history submerged major Irish cities. Then the nation froze solid in the coldest winter since 1947.

      "...ambivalence to the Church has given way to open hostility. And, if you read the pages of the Irish Catholic press, it is clear that the Catholic laity and clergy are the most enraged of all.... Although, none can feel more betrayed than the victims of abuse. People could accept that there were some bad eggs in the Church. They cannot forgive a cover up by senior clergy: and that is the core finding of the Dublin Report. The Irish people now feel betrayed by their banks, their government and their church: the Pope's letter was written to a nation in despair."

Why Team Obama thrives on creating crises: "The Obama administration's primary mode of governance is literally to create crises where none actually exist. ...anyone even superficially familiar with the history of the political left has heard references to the strategy of creating crises as a means of transforming society. You've probably heard of the 'Hegelian dialectic,' a key Marxist technique....

     "A crisis throws us off our guard, upsets us and inclines us to make decisions and accept 'solutions' we normally would reject. Politically, the strategy is to create a crisis, or exploit a real one, by throwing people into a mode where they can be redirected toward a predetermined 'solution' – whether it's imposing 'carbon penalties' on businesses in response to fears of global warming or draconian gun-control laws in response to a rash of school shootings.

     "We're talking about solutions that people would normally reject, but now in a crisis accept, and as a result establish a new baseline of what is normal – which becomes the starting point for pushing the nation still further leftward in response to the next 'crisis.'

      "The radical environmental movement's primary modus operandi – from top to bottom – is the creation of crises where none exist."

Two Terrible Ideas in One!: "It’s interesting that the Democrats are attempting to roll two of their highest priorities into one bill this month. ...health-care reform now includes a reconciliation package that would fold in student-loan reform. And by 'reform' the Democrats mean increasing direct lending to students by the federal government....

     "Have you seen the TV ads for the Scooter Store? 'My scooter didn’t cost me a dime!' exults a customer. 'Medicare and my insurance covered the whole thing.'  Multiply that by several million and you have a sense of the incentives....

     "The United States, like other developed nations, was on a glide path toward entitlement meltdown even before Barack Obama ascended. But his acceleration of the descent has been stupefying." See The Power and Perversions of Laws

Taking College Exams for Middle Eastern Students: "Many of the students came from 'Special Interest' countries - countries have a known involvement with terrorism.... More than 220,000 foreign students study each year in American colleges and universities, including about 15,500 from the Middle East. Nothing is being said about the imperative to combat massive levels of immigration fraud.... There is no way of knowing if they are wanted fugitives fleeing law enforcement in their own countries....

     "By using multiple false identities, these illegal aliens have so effectively covered their tracks that an alien who arrived here last week would have absolutely no problem in convincing the beleaguered adjudications officers at USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) that they have been in the United States for as many years as they would need in order to qualify for participation in Comprehensive Immigration Reform." See The UN Plan for Global Migration

Obama Justice Department shut down ACORN probe: "'The organization ACORN during the summer of 2008 conducted a registration drive which has produced over 100 rejections due to incomplete forms and individuals who are not citizens.'... ACORN even registered a 7-year-old child to vote by using a forged signature and fake birth certificate claiming she was 27 years old.... 'Given President Obama's close connections to ACORN, including his campaign's hiring of the ACORN's Project Vote organization, it seems rather obvious why Attorney General Holder has failed to seriously investigate these and other alleged ACORN criminal activities.'" See The Power and Perversions of Laws

Justice Dept. probes voting machine merger as midterm elections loom and questions multiply: "The largest voting machine company in the country bought its biggest competitor six months ago without advance fanfare. Now the Justice Department is investigating..."

     These two videos increase the concern: (1) Vote machine flaws force scramble back to paper: "With the presidential race in full swing, some U.S. states have found critical flaws in the accuracy and security of their electronic voting machines, forcing officials to scramble to return to the paper ballots they abandoned after the 2000 Florida debacle." (2) Princeton scientists Hack Diebold Voting Machine Demo

January 2010

Don't Like the Numbers? Change 'Em: "Politicians and scientists who don't like what their data show lately have simply taken to changing the numbers. They believe that their end—socialism, global climate regulation, health-care legislation, repudiating debt commitments, la gloire française—justifies throwing out even minimum standards of accuracy. ...

     "With Venezuela in recession... President Hugo Chávez declared the GDP to be a capitalist plot. He wants a new, socialist-friendly way to measure the economy.... There is historical precedent for a 'socialist GDP.' When President George H.W. Bush sent me to help Mikhail Gorbachev with economic reform, I found out that the Soviet statistics office kept two sets of books: those they published, and those they actually believed....

     "America has not been immune from this dangerous numbers game. Every president is guilty of spinning unpleasant statistics.... But President Barack Obama has taken it to a new level. His laudable attempt at transparency in counting the number of jobs 'created or saved' by the stimulus bill has degenerated into farce and was just junked this week....

     "When the radical attempt to regulate energy and the environment with the deeply flawed cap-and-trade bill is confronted with economic reality... they confidently pronounce that it boosts the economy. They refuse to admit that it simply boosts favored sectors and firms at the expense of everyone else." See The Power and Perversions of Laws

ACORN's California Makeover: "...ACORN is attempting to perpetrate yet another spectacular fraud on the American people.... Changing the name of California ACORN to ACCE is a slight variation of this game of institutional hide-and-seek that allows ACCE to easily blend into the woodwork and become just another little box on ACORN's organizational chart."

Martha Coakley's Convictions: "The Amiraults were a busy, confident trio, grateful in the way of people who have found success after a life of hardship.... Not for nothing was the pre-school deemed by far the best in the area, with a long waiting list for admission.... All of it would end in 1984, with accusations of sexual assault...

     "...prosecutors cast Gerald as chief predator—his gender qualifying him, in their view, as the best choice for the role. It was that role, the man in the family, that would determine his sentence, his treatment, and, to the end, his prosecution-inspired image as a pervert too dangerous to go free....

     " The accusations against the Amiraults might well rank as the most astounding ever to be credited in an American courtroom.... so madly preposterous, and so solemnly put forth by the state. The testimony had been extracted from children, cajoled and led by tireless interrogators.... Gerald was sent to prison for 30 to 40 years, his mother and sister sentenced to eight to 20 years....

      "No less outraged, Superior Court Judge Isaac Borenstein presided over a widely publicized hearings into the case resulting in findings that all the children's testimony was tainted. He said that 'Every trick in the book had been used to get the children to say what the investigators wanted.'... It was clear, when Martha Coakley took over as the new Middlesex County district attorney in 1999, that public opinion was running sharply against the prosecutors in the case....

      "Ms. Coakley asked the Amiraults' attorney, James Sultan, to pledge—in exchange—that he would stop representing Gerald and undertake no further legal action on his behalf.... Mr. Sultan, of course, refused.... Ms. Coakley also worked the press, setting up a special interview so that the now adult accusers could tell reporters, once more, of the tortures they had suffered.... The Amirault family is nonetheless grateful that they are together again.

      "Attorney General Martha Coakley—who had proven so dedicated a representative of the system that had brought the Amirault family to ruin... has recently expressed her view of this episode. Questioned about the Amiraults in the course of her current race for the U.S. Senate, she told reporters of her firm belief that the evidence against the Amiraults was 'formidable'....  What does this say about her candidacy?....

     "If the current attorney general of Massachusetts actually believes, as no serious citizen does, the preposterous charges that caused the Amiraults to be thrown into prison—the butcher knife rape with no blood, the public tree-tying episode, the mutilated squirrel and the rest—that is powerful testimony to the mind and capacities of this aspirant to a Senate seat. It is little short of wonderful to hear now of Ms. Coakley's concern for the rights of terror suspects at Guantanamo—her urgent call for the protection of the right to the presumption of innocence. If the sound of ghostly laughter is heard in Massachusetts these days as this campaign rolls on, with Martha Coakley self-portrayed as the guardian of justice and civil liberties, there is good reason."  See Corruption
