Evil, the Press, and the Modern American NeoMarxist Democrat

Dennis Prager often refers to his assurance that Democrats believe Conservatives are Evil, but Conservatives believe Democrats are Wrong but not Evil.

I have generally accepted that comparison until these recent events concerning the Obama-Pelosi-Reid triangle of  Stimulus Package legislation pretending to create new jobs, but instead pads government pork,  Obamacare government takeover of the American Health Industry, and the yet trillion dollar fiasco cap and trade thievery from American enterprise based on the Gorefraud called global warming.  Nothing of this magnitude to attempt to destroy America as Americans have known it, has ever come from within our shores, until this Obama administration.  The country is being murdered.

Is there evil afoot?

Not all murder is evil, some will argue….What about a group of people determined to murder a  democratic nation?   Attempted murder, perhaps, because we yet do not know the  verdict, but the evidence certainly is piling up.   The plot is still unfolding.

All three of these O-P-R packages thrown before the American people are FRAUDS…projections based on lies…..written on thousands of pages of legalese, a foreign language to all.   And the Perpretators know it!

Nearly all of America’s most important institutions have already collapsed into frauds of their own…..the mass media, the nation’s public schools and post highschool educational institutions, the entertainment industry, the victimhoods, and others have rallied around these frauds all because they can enjoy the power they already now possess to control American thought and consequent behavior, and envision themselves as future recipients of American leftwing largesse.   The richest and the street masses have united against  America, the change Barack Obama had promised and bought, wooing American victimhoods, Big Business, and  fainting  females.   These armies of lefties are at work pimping , cheating, lying,  and extorting…..and the Obama trillions in bribes paid by the American people,  have barely crossed the gambling table. 

Prager intimates (he is too polite to claim openly in this case) that American culture has been befouled over the past generation making its institutions  incompetent and therefore in a state of free fall into the abyss.  The abyss is  Authoritarian Marxism.

Lying has become a way of life with most American politicians.   The Democrat Left cooks the food.  Republicans share at the table.  It is expected by nearly all associated with this class…contestants themselves, their advisors, reporters who glorify the lefties,  the teachers who teach the lefties, for they all have abandoned professional standards.  Add others to this list including many “in the cloth.”    Republicans are either confused or follow suit.  After all, they went to the same leftwing universites as the Democrat Left.

How did Marxist Anita Dunn, Obama’s Chief Communication’s Officer come to  love, the world’s greatest mass murderer…60,000,000, to 75,000,000  Chinese souls, Mao Zedong as her favorite “political philosopher”.   

 I am sorry, Dennis, there is  evil afoot with some of these people.   I  don’t believe they are all dancing around the Maypole of Marxist peace or for the fun of dancing.  Democracy is dying at the hands of this Obama-Pelosi-Reid triumvirate. 

Yet, I do grant the truth in historian Arnold Toynbee’s claim that “Great Civilizations are not murdered.  They commit suicide.”   Nevertheless, a suicide can result from evil plots.

There is an excellent article in the November 23, 2009 Weekly Standard, Willfull Misunderstanding, by James Piereson.

Mr. Piereson refers to the pretense in the media and the Obama administration that jihad  Islam was not a factor in the assassinations commited by a devoted Muslim anti American at Fort Hood recently.  The assassin was a psychologist, even a Major in the US Army with a long listing of evidence he was an extremist.  As he was gunning his victims down, he shouted “Allah Akbar”, yet everyone in the mainstream reported, “Let’s Pretend” that his faith had nothing to do with his crime.  As the story begins to pass into memory, the leftwing reporters will allow the assassin  to remain in communal thought as a person who became a victim to American prejudice and intolerance.  He was a man of peace, this Hassan.  For years the American left had academes instruct Americans that Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent of the murder for which they were executed.  Evidence has proved otherwise….As Prager reminds his listeners, the Left never pays attention to facts unless they are favorable to its cause.

Who killed John F. Kennedy? 

Piereson reminds us of the fraud perpetrated by the American Left that distorts the truth of the Kennedy assassination.  

James Piereson reminds readers:

“President Kennedy was shot….by a devoted COMMUNIST for motives linked to the Cold War.  For many reasons, the liberal leadership of the nation found this explanation difficult to accept.  As a consequence, they said things that only added to the confusion surrounding the event.  President Kennedy, they said,  was a martyr to civil rights, he was a victim of a climate of hate and bigotry then expressed in opposition to civil rights across the South; he died because America is obsessed by violence and permits too easy access to guns.  Kennedy’s assassination was acutually an event in the Cold War, but the liberal leadership of the country said it was an event in the struggle for civil rights.”

Piereson quotes Leftwing Republican Earl Warren, then chief justice of the Supreme Court who announced on the evening of the president’s death, “A great and good president has suffered martyrdom as a result of the hatred and bitterness that has been injected into the life of our nation by bigots.”  

Mr. Piereson quotes James Reston of the New York Times,  ( then popularly considered the Walter Cronkite of the American newspaper world)  “America wept tonight, not alone for tis dead young president, but for itself.  The grief was general, for somehow the worst in the nation had prevailed over the best.  The indictment extended beyond the assassin, for something in the nation itself, some strain of madness and violence, had destroyed the highest symbol of law and order………from the beginning to the end of his administration, he was trying to damp down the violence of extremists on the Right.”

In referring to Reston’s announcement,  Mr. Piereson adds, “The fact that the assassin was a violent extremist from the left did not deter Reston. 

Who murdered President Kennedy’s brother, Robert?    “His assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, decided to kill Kennedy after reading that he had made a campaign pledge to support Israel.  Sirhan was determined to carry out the murder before the anniversary of the Six Day War in the Middle East…” Mr. Piereson reports.

Mr. Piereson doesn’t mention this but one must note that  no conspiracy theories have been concocted by the American left regarding Sirhan Sirhan.  He just disappeared from the American conversation….a victim of its violent nature. 

Don’t forget this Jordanian who murdered Robert Kennedy did so at the Senator’s presidential primary victory celebration party,  beating  Minnesota Democrat Eugene McCarthy in the California Democratic Party primary.   Sirhan Sirhan  was seen shooting the Senator by scores of Democrats, and had the murder weapon wrestled from his hand at that Democratic Party convention by Democrats.   Moreover, Democrats in those days were far different from Obama’s Marxist Democrat Party.

It would have been nearly impossible for the New York Times to lay groundwork for the murderer being part of a vast American right wing conspiracy, then or now.  But, wait a few years when all of us who remember these events are dead.  Remember in Marxist societies,  the universal truism is, “The present is Known.  It is the past that keeps Changing.”

The country has long been fed a poison by this collective called the American Left.  I believe this country is seriously ill from these  poisons… potions of  vileness, obscenities, corruption, disingenuosness, lies, obfuscation, intimidation causing bigotry, hates intentionally manipulated to stir up hatred among  the victimhood classes;  hatred of those who believe in Americas three cornered creed, Liberty, In God We Trust, and E Pluribus Unum.

I believe there is evil afoot, for evil is its result.  Like the soothing words of Barack Obama, the poison of each word and deed  drips out as sweet elixir to the modern American taste.

Why Shouldn’t Doctors, Instead of Lawyers Only, Be Judges?

It has long been accepted that the lowest, and therefore the most vilified of the allegedly learned professions is the legal profession.  In many societies of today’s beloved United Nations, the judicial system has absolutely nothing to do with justice and truth…..This indictment often  includes our own legal system.

Then,  the Law is an ass! as Charles Dickens wrote in Oliver Twist.   Read more Dickens and you will learn more about the corrupt and sloven  courts of  “justice” of  his  19th century England,  and how closely they  resemble the up-to-date rituals of these institutions of our own time. 

We have been entering a time in American jurisprudence when a case can be made that our beloved America is being sabotaged from within  by the power and corrupt class of trial lawyers.  Think Democrat presidential  candidate, John Edwards as a perfect model of this extorting class.   This class could  include the entire legal profession as well, I believe. 

Trial lawyers, the legal profession itself oils well the machinery of president Obama’s Marxist movement in the Democrat Party.

The losers in the Obamacare Healthplan atrocity now beginning  its way through our  channels of national government this weekend in Washington, will be the American economy and the American people, and in particular the American practicing physician.

The bonanza winners  will be Obama and his trial lawyer world.  Two thousand pages is now entering the United States’ Senate, itself a circus made up of  the lawyer lawless devoted to protecting its turf , should itself triple law school enrolments.

Dennis Prager has often claimed that “our America will collapse ‘legally’”….”I mean it!”  he usually moans. 

 Two thousand pages of chicken cackle legalese requiring a law school enrolment of   sharks trained to cheat, connive, and misrepresent  to out cheat, out connive and  out misrepresent at a pay of thousands of dollars per minute.   Think Obama as he orates his entrancings  oscilating his cranial form from teleprompter to teleprompter to increase the stupor state of the  modern American college graduate and victimhood world. 

The medical profession has been much abused in the past.  Until recently…the last hundred or so years, it was not much valued beyond giving hope because not much was known to be particularly helpful to most patients.  Knowledge of medicine and the medical arts as a whole  improved enormously over the past handfull of generations because our nation became WEALTHY.  The medical industry became WEALTHY and the American doctor became rewarded accordingly.

With passage of Obamacare legislation, the days of the honored doctor are guaranteed to be gone.  The profession of choice for those interested in accumulating enormous wealth  will be the legal profession in general and the trial lawyers in particular.  They will never be morally honored, for their business is based on chickanery.   A doctor class will become medium wage bureaucrats,  overseen by government watchdogs.   How is this profession going to be sold to American youth?   

Why are  judges in the American “justice system”  required by law to have a law degree?  Because LAWYERS CONTROL THE COURT SYSTEM!   (Incidentally, this is the same reason America’s “professor class” has become Marxist.  The incumbents have gained a lockstep control over the social science departments of most of our universities and colleges.  This  leftwing establishment chooses its own staff associates. 

Yet, we in America used to be interested in strengthening our democracy.  Wouldn’t justice in a democracy be strengthened significantly if  judges could be pharmacists, doctors, farmers,  waiters or anyone of integrity by background?   That might perhaps disqualify the majority of today’s trial lawyers!   The vast majority of the  adult American citizenry, I believe, can make as dumb or as wise a decision as made by any of  today’s legally qualified judges of our country’s courts. 

What would be required is that a qualified person trained in the law  be assigned  to be on hand during court procedings to be called on when needed by the citizen judge to answer or clarify legal matters  for the citizen judge.    

If doctors could be lawyers,  there  would be far fewer trial lawyers around!  That in itsefl might help upgrade to moral conscience of the country. Of course the doctors would still have to be practicing medicine to qualify.

Ben Stein’s Confession

I am trusting that this missile I received through the email system is authentic.  Its  humor and irony belong to Ben Stein.   Its topic is one of Ben Stein’s favorites.  By now every American  should have seen his very successful film, “EXPELLED..No intelligence allowed”. 

“My confession: 

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.  And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.  I don’t feel threatened.  I don’t feel discriminated against. That’s what they are, Christmas trees. 

It doesn’t bother me a bit when people say, ‘Merry Christmas’ to me.  I don’t think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto.  In fact, I kind of like it.  It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn’t bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .  If people want a creche, it’s just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. 

I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.  I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.  I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country.  I can’t find it in the Constitution and I don’t like it being shoved down my throat. 

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren’t allowed to worship God as we understand Him?  I guess that’s a sign that I’m getting old, too.  But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to. 

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:  This is not intended to be a joke; it’s not funny, it’s intended to get you thinking. 

Billy Graham’s daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her ‘How could God let something like this happen?’ (regarding Hurricane Katrina).  Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.  She said, ‘I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we’ve been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.  And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out  How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?’ 

In light of recent events… terrorists attack, school shootings, etc.  I think it started when Madeleine Murray O’Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn’t want prayer in our schools, and we said OK.  Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school.  The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.  And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock’s son committed suicide).  We said an expert should know what he’s talking about.  And we said okay.

Now we’re asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don’t know right from wrong, and why it doesn’t bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves..

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.  I think it has a great deal to do with ‘WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.’ 
Are you laughing yet? 

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you’re not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. 

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.”

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world’s going to hell.  Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.  Funny how you can send ‘jokes’ through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.  Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace. 

Thank you, Ben Stein!  Thank you, Arlene Taber, for sending this confession to me.

The Obama Battle to “Control” Illegal Immigration

Prager conservative, Steve Anderson, sent in the following article regarding the Obama administration’s federal programs to “control” illegal immigration:   No. Of Illegal Aliens On Welfare Doubles In Nevada Last Updated: Tue, 11/03/2009 – 12:51pm A relatively new federal program that allows illegal immigrants to use their American-born anchor babies to collect welfare for the entire family has expanded nationwide and nearly doubled in a western state that already spends hundreds of millions of dollars to provide undocumented residents with public services.  The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF) was created by the U.S. Dept of Health and Human Services a few years ago so that illegal aliens could get monthly welfare checks to help support the entire family. It is the only public assistance program where parents can apply in their children’s name as opposed to applying in their own. It also does not require parents to demonstrate that they are in the U.S. legally since most aren’t.  In Nevada alone, the TANF program’s caseload has grown 96% since the recession hit the state like an atomic bomb two years ago. A news report reveals that around 4,250 of the families receiving the benefit in Nevada have “mixed immigration status.” In other words, U.S. taxpayers are supporting thousands of illegal alien families because they have at least one anchor baby.  Nevada already blows a whopping $630 million a year to provide its rapidly growing illegal immigrant population with public services that should be reserved for legal U.S. residents. The Silver State spends $470 million annually to educate the children of illegal immigrants in public schools and an additional $45 million for limited English programs. Eighty five million goes to healthcare for illegal immigrants and $31 to incarcerate them. Illegal aliens are also largely responsible for Nevada’s home foreclosure crisis, reportedly the nation’s worst. Around 5 million fraudulent mortgages nationwide are in the hands of illegal aliens, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and it is no secret that a substantial chunk of them are in Nevada.

 

 

Is Obama Sovietizing American Art?

Earlier Obama Arts Scandal Uncovered! 9/24/9 Fox News: “The White House convened a meeting of 60 artists to help push the president’s domestic agenda in May, months before a controversial conference call with artists in August led to the reassignment and, on Thursday, the resignation of the communications director of the National Endowment for the Arts. In what some critics are calling a “troubling” early effort by the Obama administration to politicize the NEA, rappers, dancers, writers and other activists from around the country were invited to a May 12 session next door to the White House, where they were “challenged to come up with promising and attractive ideas about how artists can work for the administration’s agenda,” according to a report written by organizers of the meeting. An NEA official in charge of grants for performing artists was in attendance, as was the organization’s former chief spokesman, Yosi Sergant, who was reassigned last month after he led a similar conference call with 75 artists and urged them to promote Obama’s policies…One participant in the May 12 session “suggested the people in the room equaled a think tank to serve the administration’s aims and asked how in practical terms we could connect to the administration’s work,” the report says. Government watchdogs said the meeting at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building was a problematic and partisan use of the NEA, which is supposed to be politically neutral…Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington…said it was “troubling” that the government-funded NEA was suggesting to artists who rely on it for aid that they make a push for the administration. “There’s got to be a certain amount of pressure [the artists] are feeling.”…According to the meeting report, the NEA’s director of presenting, Mario Garcia Durham, spoke of the “recent increase in the NEA’s budget” — what he called a “break in the clouds” — that would allow more artists to get government funding.” — ConservativeAmerican.org adds this: Yes, more government funding IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA!

Stratfor Report on Holder Move To Try Jihadists In New York

I cannot emphasize to my fellow Americans, regardless of political persuasion, how valuable this Stratfor service is to develop a background for understanding the intelligence and security issues which face our nation today.   Enemies of America need not apply.  I am not certain whether or not this group includes president Barack Obama, or whether his antiAmericanism is simply a carryover from his inability to rise above graduate school intellectuality.  Evidence is building,  however, that He is ambivalent at best.   Read Stratfor’s  following report:

November 18, 2009

By Ben West and Fred BurtonBeyond this murkiness is the perceived security threat of bringing five suspected terrorists accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to trial in New York City. Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he thought holding the trial in New York would put residents at risk. And Andrew McCarthy, former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, wrote in The New Republic that the trial will “create a public-safely nightmare for New York City.” Numerous other observers and media outlets around the world have voiced similar security concerns about the New York trial.

Although there has been much criticism of the decision to hold the trial in New York City, when it comes to prosecuting terror suspects, the Southern District of New York knows what it’s doing. The staff of the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York has gained considerable knowledge and expertise prosecuting terror cases over the years, just as the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group (SOG) has gained much experience providing security for those trials. It was in the Southern District of New York in 1995 that Omar Abdel Rahman, aka the Blind Sheikh, was tried for the so-called Landmarks Plot of 1993 and received a life sentence. In 1996, Abdel Basit (aka Ramzi Yousef) and two co-conspirators were also tried in the Southern District and sentenced to life in prison for their roles in the Bojinka Plot, which also included an indictment for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (the staff of the Southern District has been familiar with Mohammed for some time now). The attackers behind the 1998 attacks against the U.S. embassies were also prosecuted in the Southern District of New York and sentenced to life imprisonment. Few other courts have so much experience handling and prosecuting high-profile terrorism cases, so it should have come as no surprise that Holder named the district as the venue for the upcoming trial. On top of all this, the World Trade Center towers were also in the Southern District of New York, putting the deadliest site of the 9/11 attacks under the Southern District’s jurisdiction.

The case will be prosecuted jointly by the offices of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, led by Preet Bharara, and the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, led by Neil H. MacBride. The Eastern District of Virginia has also successfully prosecuted several terrorism cases, including those of John Walker Lindh in 2002, the Virginia Jihad Network in 2005 and Zacarias Moussaoui in 2006.

While some believe that trying the so-called “Gitmo Five” in New York City will result in more terrorist attacks in the city, STRATFOR does not anticipate a marked increase in the number of plots or attacks. New York City has long been a popular target for radical Islamists — there have been nine known plots involving targets in New York uncovered since the 9/11 attacks, including two in the past six months. In May 2009, four men were arrested for attempting to detonate explosives outside a synagogue in the Bronx, and in September, Najibullah Zazi was arrested for plotting to detonate backpack explosives on trains in New York City. Other plots have included a 2007 plan to detonate fuel tanks at John F. Kennedy International Airport, a 2006 plot to detonate explosives in the Holland Tunnel and a 2004 plot to attack a subway station near Madison Square Garden.

New York City remains an alluring target for jihadists because of its symbolism. Home to more than 8 million people, it is the largest city in the United States and a global financial and media center. Whatever happens there gets more exposure and publicity than virtually anywhere else in the world. It is also a perceived center of Jewish wealth and culture (New York has the second-largest Jewish population behind Tel Aviv), compounding the threat from Islamist radicals. New York City will remain a terrorist target for many reasons other than the Gitmo Five trial. It is also interesting to note that none of the city’s other high-profile terrorism trials has ever resulted in a retaliatory attack against the city.

In addition to the federal prosecutors who will be involved in the trial having experience dealing with terrorism cases, the New York Police Department has the training, manpower and focus to provide effective physical security. Federal agents, including those of the U.S. Marshals Service SOG, will be primarily responsible for handling the five suspects and providing security inside the federal courthouse. The building is one of the most secure federal courthouses in the country, equipped with anti-vehicle borne explosive device barricades, 24-hour guard posts and high-resolution video cameras. The U.S. Marshals will be augmented by NYPD “Hercules” teams (designed to provide a surge of police presence in an area to prevent or disrupt criminal and terrorist operations) and will likely place sniper teams on nearby rooftops for added security. Vehicular and pedestrian traffic around the courthouse will be severely limited, with nearby streets closed to traffic and nearby subway entrances closed to riders.

During the trial, the five defendants will be held at the Metropolitan Correctional Complex, which is connected to the courthouse via a third-of-a-mile-long underground tunnel. This significantly reduces the threat of terrorist attack or a disruption of the proceedings by allowing security forces to control the geography of the trial venue and spot unusual activity. Another geographic benefit is the fact that Manhattan is an island with limited access points (bridges and tunnels), which makes it easier to seal off the area and control who or what gets in or out. These factors do not necessarily preclude an attack, especially a suicide attack in which the perpetrator is undeterred by the risk of death, but do decrease the options of an attacker and increase the options of law enforcement personnel in dealing with the potential risks.

Because the courthouse will be under such tight security, any attacker able to penetrate the island cordon and slip into the area would likely go after softer targets surrounding the building. The NYPD will be responsible for protecting areas outside the courthouse and will probably create a secure buffer around the complex, the depth of which will depend on the severity of any given threat. Police would have the wherewithal to put whole sections of the city under heavy lockdown and provide a level of physical security designed to thwart terrorist activities that have reached the latter stages (deployment, attack and escape). This buffer would both protect softer targets nearby and make it that much harder for would-be attackers to infiltrate the courthouse. The NYPD also has the intelligence-collecting capabilities (informants, undercover officers, surveillants, analysts, etc.) to keep a close eye on any potential threat in the area leading up to and during the trial. The NYPD developed these capabilities with a vengeance following the 9/11 attacks, and in the years since it has become quite adept at conducting preventative counterterrorism investigations rather than just reactive ones.

In addition to the NYPD, other first-responders in New York — the fire department, emergency medical services and transportation agencies — are experienced and well-trained in dealing with terrorist attacks and can support security efforts surrounding the trial. Given the 9/11 experience, Manhattan residents and workers are also well-versed in emergency action plans and preparations.

Certainly, the fact that such a high-profile trial will be held in New York City will temporarily add to the workload of federal and municipal security and emergency personnel, but in some ways it will be little more than a routine effort. The city is used to high-profile events, regularly hosting such events as the U.N. General Assembly, with its attendant flow of international VIPs. New York City has been and will remain a prime terrorist target, and the people responsible for maintaining security in the city are very good at what they do. Indeed, Manhattan — given its recent history of civic trauma and intense focus on counterterrorism — may very well possess the safest civilian court in the country.

2003 confession.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced Nov. 13 that the U.S. Justice Department had decided to try five suspected terrorists currently being held at Guantanamo Bay in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, located in lower Manhattan. The five suspects — Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarek bin Attash, Ramzi bin al-Shibh, Ali Abdul-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi — are all accused of being involved in the 9/11 plot, with Mohammed describing himself as the mastermind in a

The announcement follows from U.S. President Barack Obama’s first executive order, which he signed on Jan. 22, to close the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and another executive order to suspend the military tribunals set up under the Bush administration to try suspected terrorists. Holder’s decision has generated much debate and highlighted the legal murkiness concerning the status of Guantanamo detainees and how best to bring them to justice.

Request from Citizen’s Council on Health Care!

CCHC ACTION ALERT!

Three Action Items:

• “DOC-TRIX” VOTE TOMORROW – Call U.S. Representatives today to oppose the $247 Billion “Doc Fix” bill
  
• SENATE STEALTH CARE MOVE - Call U.S. Senators today to oppose “motion to proceed” HC vote
• ABORTION – Rep. Steve King reveals Congressman Stupak’s “one-vote” plan
  

---

1) DOC-TRIX VOTE TOMORROW -  Thursday, November 19

Ask your U.S. Representatives to vote NO on the “Doc Fix” bill, HR 3961.

Tomorrow, House leadership is trying to sneak in a vote on the controversial “Doc Fix” bill, HR 3961. By eliminating the scheduled 21% reduction in physician payments, the bill will ADD $247 billion to the already $2 trillion cost of PelosiCare, the government takeover health care bill, HR 3962, that passed on Sat., November 7th with a vote of 220-215.

By using a separate bill (instead of PelosiCare), Democratic House leadership is attempting to raise the taxpayer cost of PelosiCare without having to register the cost to the health insurance reform bill. Doctors should be paid sufficiently by government for their services, however, this bill is a shell game meant to deceive the public into thinking taxpayer cost of “reform” is lower than it is.

2) STEALTH CARE BILL COMING – Call U.S. Senators now!

Ask U.S. Senators to vote NO on Senator Harry Reid’s “motion to proceed.”

Senator Harry Reid is working behind closed doors trying to create a health insurance bill that CBO will ’score’ under $1 trillion. If he gets a favorable cost ’score’, some say his plan is to bring a different House bill, a “shell bill,” to the floor of the Senate. He will not bring PelosiCare because he doesn’t like it, but he has to bring a House bill because all tax and revenue bill must come through the House to the Senate. Reid will then call for a “motion to proceed” vote on the House “shell bill.” (see Sen. DeMint’s press release below).

This “motion to proceed” vote signals the end of debate on the bill and time to vote. This  vote needs 60 votes, which Reid may have difficulty getting since Senators know the “motion to proceed” vote will move the health care bill forward to a final vote. If he gets the 60 votes, we expect him to delete all the language in the “shell bill” and substitute it with his “behind closed doors,” health care “government takeover” bill. If this happens, only 51 votes are needed to pass the bill. Thus, the “motion to proceed” must be voted down.

Call your U.S. Senators today, tomorrow and Friday!

3) The Abortion Amendment -  Winning Battle; Losing War?

On Monday, on a national conference call, CCHC president Twila Brase asked U.S. Reps. Steve King (R-IA) and Dr. Tom Price (R-GA) the following question on the House health care bill, HR 3962, now 2,015 pages long after incorporation of amendments. Congressman King’s answer was revealing:

Twila’s Question: Didn’t you actually lose on the House health care bill because of the pro-life amendment? Wasn’t Congressman Shadegg right in trying to derail the bill with a “present” vote rather than giving Pelosi a victory of passage that moved the whole bill forward? The bill itself threatens the life of many others, not just the unborn. How do you plan to stop the bill now?

Congressman King: (just one of his comments paraphrased) “….When I found out that Stupak had been negotiating just for a vote on the bill, not for final passage, I got sick to my stomach….”

Woman from Tennessee Eagle Forum: “I agree with Twila. I hate to think we won the battle and lost the war.”

DeMint: Americans Won’t Be Fooled by Democrat Shell Game, a Vote for Cloture is a Vote for a Government Takeover of Health Care

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), chairman of the Senate Steering Committee, made the following statement:

“Let’s be clear: Any senator who votes to proceed to this bill is voting for a government takeover of health care. Senators who hide behind procedure and claim they just want to allow for debate are not being honest, they are trying to deceive their voters while helping to pass this terrible bill that will make health care more expensive.

“Earlier today, Democrat leaders told reporters that the Senate may vote to proceed to a shell bill, not related to health care reform, in an effort to grant the President’s wish for a government takeover of our nation’s health care by Christmas. These outrageous shell games won’t fool Americans. Voters will remember who stands up for their freedom and who stands with the special interests who want to ram through this takeover.”

“President Obama and Democrats have now put forward at least four different versions of their government takeover, and Harry Reid has been secretly working behind closed doors on the fifth act of this fiasco. But despite the nuances, every Democrat bill puts Washington in control of health care, slashes Medicare coverage for seniors, raises premiums for families, raises taxes, places bureaucrats between patients and doctors, punishes young adults who choose not to buy coverage, and opens the door to government rationing of care.

 

“Americans have loudly and repeatedly rejected the President’s government takeover of health care. It’s time to for the Senate to listen, stop the shell games, and start over with real solutions that will provide every American the opportunity to afford, own and keep a health care plan that best meets their needs.”

“Stratfor global intelligence” and Obama’s Criminal “Justice” System

For those of you who are particularly interested in our American in matters of the intelligence world  in the foreign affairs arena you might want to investigate the offerings of Stratfor global intelligence, founded by George Friedman.  There is a monthly membership to the group which gives you regular up to date analysis about decisions and issues within it scope.  Its analyses, to the best of my knowledge, is quite independent of any contemporary persuasions of politics.  Check it out at stratfor.com. 

It is my observation that the Obama administration for an assortment of reasons, is pretending the attack on the World Trade Center on 9-11, 2001, was not a crime of war, or an act warlike with any military significance, but a crime similar to one of passion or robbery or arson.  The Obama administration, that is the president using Attorney General Holder as his voice agent, has not reminded the American people that the attack on 9-11-2001 also included a “mishap” at a military base known as the Pentagon, and a “mishap” in the fields of  Pennsylvania.  He has detached these “mishaps” from that day’s calendar. 

This chief narcissist leading America, our “First Pacific President” our First Black President, as well as our First Marxist President, and, one might add appropriately, the First Anti-American President, has perhaps forgotten these other events of that day’s conspiracy.  Or perhaps those murders simply occurred “out of the blue”!  

No, this president, America’s First Marxist President has an agenda. 

Then, again, to be fair, maybe it can be proved that KGM  and his Guantanamo buddies to be tried with him, can be  shown to be innocent of  attack two and attack three, maybe of everything which happened on that September morning. 

Remember the California circus of the OJ Simpson trial fiasco and the justice it showed the world?   Think of all of the technicalities the Marxist ACLU anti American American watchdogs will trump up….Miranda rights, photos, perhaps videos of  real honest to goodness torture that even John McCain claimed, stupidly, and inaccurately, that torture, whether tickling or waterboarding never weasled truth out of anyone.

Despite my above views, I am particularly interested in both the Marxist views of the Democrats regarding this presidents twisting’s of who these militant jihadists were as plotters and attackers of the World Trade Center that horrendous day as well as those, such as Stratfor which are likely to present a cold and impartial legal analysis of both the event and the leading to the event.

I am not fond of the American judicial system.  Through  tradition it has become for the most part, a football game, where truth and evidence too often become incidental to the showmanship and distortions the fancy quarterbacks of one side or another can cook up to sell  the jury a recipe for victory, not justice. 

We are going to be in for a great Obama circus…Obama written and choreographed?

Stratfor give us the following to consider:

“War vs. Criminal Justice

The ambiguity began shortly after 9/11, when then-U.S. President George W. Bush defined two missions: waging a war on terror, and bringing Osama bin Laden and his followers to justice. Both made for good rhetoric. But they also were fundamentally contradictory. A war is not a judicial inquiry, and a criminal investigation is not part of war.

An analogy might be drawn from Pearl Harbor. Imagine that in addition to stating that the United States was at war with Japan, Franklin Roosevelt also called for bringing the individual Japanese pilots who struck Hawaii to justice under American law. This would make no sense. As an act of war, the Japanese action fell under the rules of war as provided for in international law, the U.S. Constitution and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Japanese pilots could not be held individually responsible for the lawful order they received. In the same sense, trying to bring soldiers to trial in a civilian court in the United States would make no sense. Creating a mission in which individual Japanese airmen would be hunted down and tried under the rules of evidence not only would make no sense, it would be impossible. Building a case against them individually also would be impossible. Judges would rule on evidence, on whether an unprejudiced jury could be found, and so on. None of this happened, of course — World War II was a war, not a judicial inquiry.

It is important to consider how wars are conducted. Enemy soldiers are not shot or captured because of what they have done; they are shot and captured because of who they are — members of an enemy military force. War, once launched, is pre-emptive. Soldiers are killed or captured in the course of fighting enemy forces, or even before they have carried out hostile acts. Soldiers are not held responsible for their actions, but neither are they immune to attack just because they have not done anything. Guilt and innocence do not enter into the equation. Certainly, if war crimes are in question, charges may be brought; the UCMJ determines how they will be tried by U.S. forces. Soldiers are tried by courts-martial, not by civilian courts, because of their status as soldiers. Soldiers are tried by a jury of their peers, and their peers are held to be other soldiers.

International law is actually not particularly ambiguous about the status of the members of al Qaeda. The Geneva Conventions do not apply to them because they have not adhered to a fundamental requirement of the Geneva Conventions, namely, identifying themselves as soldiers of an army. Doing so does not mean they must wear a uniform. The postwar Geneva Conventions make room for partisans, something older versions of the conventions did not. A partisan is not a uniformed fighter, but he must wear some form of insignia identifying himself as a soldier to enjoy the conventions’ protections. As Article 4.1.6 puts it, prisoners of war include “Inhabitants of a non-occupied territory, who on the approach of the enemy spontaneously take up arms to resist the invading forces, without having had time to form themselves into regular armed units, provided they carry arms openly and respect the laws and customs of war.” The Geneva Conventions of 1949 does not mention, nor provide protection to, civilians attacking foreign countries without openly carrying arms.

The reasoning behind this is important. During the Franco-Prussian war, French franc-tireurs fired on Prussian soldiers. Ununiformed and without insignia, they melded into the crowd. It was impossible for the Prussians to distinguish between civilians and soldiers, so they fired on both, and civilian casualties resulted. The framers of the Geneva Conventions held the franc-tireurs, not the Prussian soldiers, responsible for the casualties. Their failure to be in uniform forced the Prussians to defend themselves at the cost of civilian lives. The franc-tireurs were seen as using civilians as camouflage. This was regarded as outside the rules of war, and those who carried out such acts were seen as not protected by the conventions. They were not soldiers, and were not to be treated as such.”

Note:  Wasn’t it in 1997 Osama Bin Laden announced this declaration of war agaisnt the United States of America?  ghr

Who Fired Anita Dunn? Glenn Beck or Barack Obama?

In the Huffington Post article, “Anita Dunn Takes Parting Shots at Fox, Hannity, and Beck”, by Sam Stein, posted yesterday, here is how Huffpost Stein and Anita Dunn, one of  President Obama’s most important White House advisors,  interpret her departure:

“Approached in the halls outside the forum, the Huffington Post asked Dunn to put Glenn Beck’s recent theatrics into the context of her critiques of Fox News’s coverage. She chuckled. For the past few weeks, Beck has insisted that the outgoing communications director considers Mao Zedong a political hero and has put a red telephone on his set begging for her to call and explain her political dispositions.

‘I think it was news to everybody who knows me,’ she replied. ‘You know, most media consultants usually are accused of other things, but that’s not one of them.’

Last month, Dunn got caught up in a war of words between the White House and Fox News when she made the rather bland observation that the network carries a Republican agenda. On Friday, she was asked whether she considered MSNBC to have a counter-balancing bias — a common retort offered by Fox’s defenders. Dunn replied by noting that for three hours every morning that network handed over its programming to ‘a former Republican congressman who was a member of Newt Gingrich’s ‘revolution’: Joe Scarborough.

Elsewhere in her remarks, Dunn acknowledged that her decision to go after Fox News was not an example of her “going rogue.” White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and perhaps even the president himself gave her the green light. She also mocked Fox for proclaiming that it had secured an exclusive sit-down interview with President Obama during his trip to Asia when, in actuality, it was simply part of a rotating pool of reporters.”

I sit here in cooling Minnesota trying to figure out why our country has sunk so deeply into the  mire of Marxist intellectual thievery and resulting chaos, economic, moral, and intellectual.  I can’t be certain I know exactly why Ms. Dunn has been “released” by Obama team. 

Doesn’t Huffpost Stein spend a lot of effort infering that “the war of words between Fox news and the White House”, where Ms. Dunn commanded her position of “informing ” folks, was at the heart of this Steinmessage.  It just so happened Ms. Dunn is leaving her prestigious office, well why?…..well, because she is just leaving. 

But, dear reader let’s reread this Huffpost offering and then look up Ms. Dunn’s speech of June 5, 2009 given at a high school graduating class.  A very clear video showing her verbal and body passion for Mao Tse Dung, a Marxist, and the world’s all time champion mass murderer, is  available on youtube.   She explains the killer is one of her two “favorite political philosophers”……the  other being Mother Teresa, incidentally. 

Note:  Glenn Beck didn’t insist Obama advisor, Anita Dunn, considers Mao Zedong her hero of all time, ANITA DUNN CONSIDERS MAO ZEDONG her hero of all time.

Huffpost Stein views that “Beck has insisted that the outgoing communications director (Anita Dunn) considers Mao Zedong (the 21st century American spelling of Mr. World”s Greatest Mass Murderer, Mao Tse Dung) a political hero.”   Mr. Beck’s “theatrics” just happen to be floating around free as a bird. 

Huffpost doesn’t tell us why Dunn was leaving except that there was a war of words between Fox news and the White House.   Could it be Beck’s fault for slurring Ms. Dunn with untruths?  Could it be that it’s Ms. Dunn’s fault for slurring Fox news with untruths?  Does the Republican Party really spend three hours every morning putting in order the news for Fox?….just a mild bland observation based on what proof?  Or could it be that Marxist Anita Dunn couldn’t control herself from  letting  her passion for Marxism out of her bag?   Or could Barack Obama fire Anita for her bland observations against Fox?  But, hasn’t Obama’s huffings against Fox been ever so much more strident?  Should he fire himself, then?

Is Fox News THAT powerful that it can offer three hours of bland stuff in its war of words with Obama….remember, HE  runs the White House….Anita was in command of communications! 

Does Fox News have enough power to topple the Obama Marxist club presently occupying  the White House?   

Many Americans who still believe in the nation’s democratic institutions, decaying though they may be, hope that it does.  I am one of them.

I am  praying for a revival of respect and devotion to liberty over tyranny.  It is not Glenn Beck’s fault Anita Dunn is a fool and/or a Marxist.  It wasn’t Glenn Beck’s Republican “theatrics”  that sunk this particular Anita as Lefty Huffpost Stein writes. 

I am too old  to be thrilled about today’s Beck  style of reporting…flashy entertainment  and laughing satire as America decays.   But entertainment is about the only avenue modern Americans have been trained to pay attention to.  Weren’t they programmed to go to school primarily to have fun…to be entertained?  Where ever would they learn to become  disciplined thinkers?

I believe Anita Dunn is one of Dennis Prager’s  best examples of a college ‘educated’ MADE STUPID AND INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST, 2009 American Leftwinger.  I believe Sam Stein is another excellent example of a college educated made dishonest leftwing reporter,  unless he is not very bright, which I don’t believe for a moment.  His writing skills are too clever.  He shows he knows why he writes what he writes. 

Pressure can’t fire anyone. People do.  People can also resign under pressure, but often don’t resign when the boss prefers them to stay.  If Anita Dunn resigned under pressure, what was the pressure from….her and Obama’s wars with Fox, or the revelation by Glenn Beck that she is a Marxist fan of  murderer Mao Tse Dung? 

What do you think?

Will Democrats Cause Yet Another Housing Market Credit Financial Disaster?

It should be required reading that all Americans who can still read, read today’s opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal entitled, “ACORN and the Housing Bubble”.  It is written by Edward Pinto who was the chief credit officer at Fannie Mae from 1987 to 1989. 

We are in an economic quagmire today….Is anyone not aware of that?  It was primarily caused by Democrat Party governments interfering with the home loan financial market.

There aren’t many conservatives around today who dogmatically oppose all government interest in things American outside of defense.  Congress must be aware of America’s goings on.  Yet,when matters in economics go awry, it is probably overwhelmingly more sensible to let  the markets settle the turmoil without government interference.  But the welfare of the people must always be in the thoughts of politicians  and  for the sake of democracy, political action should be rarely enacted except  in times of  extreme human suffering.   Marxist bribery through government corruption should never be legislated.

It is not too much an overstatement to charge Senator Christopher Dodd, Representative Barney Frank and the Democratic leadership in the House and Senate  over the past 30 years with being the chief culprits in CREATING the foundation and expanding the scope  of this disaster.  No one has been punished for this crime.  How Roman Empire- like.

Moreover, ACORN, in today’s news for sex soliciting and voter fraud, was even then  actively  spreading its own special breed of cancer.  It is still receiving tax payer funding as well.  Our present president, Mr. Barack Obama was it’s principal Chicago attorney not long ago.

From the Journal article:   “All agree that the bursting of the housing bubble caused the financial colllapse of 2008.  Most agree that the housing bubble started in 1997.  Less well understood is that this bubble was the result of government policies that lowered mortgage-landing standards to increase home owndership.  One of the key players was the controversial liberal advocacy group ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now)

The watershed moment was the 1992 Federal Housing Enterp;rises Financial Safety and Soundness Act, also known as the GSE Act.  To comply with that law’s “affordable housing” requirements, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would acquire more than $6,000,000,000,000 of single family loans over the next 16 years.”

The purpose of the ACT  was to force these  leftwing government-sponsored “businesses” to buy up loans made by banks under the gun to obey another Congressional “order”,  the 1977  Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) law in Carter’s  time which pushed home loans to folks in low income communities.

Home building in America exploded.

ACORN  and other community groups were informally deputized by then House Banking Chairman Henry Gonzalez to draft statuatory language setting the law’s affordable-housing mandates…..The goal of the community groups was to force the government ‘companies’, Fannie and Freddie, under threat of Civil Rights Legislation, to loosen their underwriting standards, in order to facilitate the purchase of loans made under the CRA.

Thus, a provision was inserted into the law whereby Congress signaled to the GSEs (Freddie and Fannie) that they should accept down payments of 5% or less, ignore the impaired credit if the blot was over one year old, and otherwise loosen their lending guidelines.  Democrats gladly approved of ACORN’s lack of  interest monitoring shady  loans or whether loans  could be repayed, so Congress fought off  “efforts to impose a strong safety and soundness regulator to oversee” the government companies created by the Carter administration.  (“It was not until 2008 that a strong regulator was created for Fannie and Freddie .”   A few months later this industry collapsed from the fraud. 

“Fannie and Freddie acquired $1,200,000,000.000 in subprime loans from banks and other lenders from 1993-2007.   ACORN and the other advocacy groups succeeded at getting Congress to mandate “innovative and flexible” lending practices such as highter debt ratios and creative definitions of income,.  And the serious delinquency rate on Fannie and Freddie’s $1,500,000,000,000 in high-risk loans was 10.3% as of September, 2009. ”

Mr. Pinto warns that, “Now this history may repeat itself as many of the same community groups are pushing Congress to  expand CRA to cover all mortgage lenders, credit unions, insurance companies and others financial industry segments.  Are we about to set the stage for another catastrophe?”
