The Elphant In The Room

All this nonsense about Iran getting a nuclear bomb shows Western  weakness.  Right now Iran is far weaker than the US or even European powers.  Yet the Supreme Leader and his illegetimate stooge for President mouth off against the West.  We make a big mistake if we ignore their words.  Iran is not afraid of a war against the West; it would unite its people against the West and stop the riots against the stolen Presidental election.  Plus Iran is not afraid of casualties.  The leading clerics believe that the Islamic messiah will come after a great massacre of Muslims.
What that wimp Obama should do is state that any nuclear explosion from any Muslim terrorist group will lead to an all out assault on Iran including use of our nuclear weapons.  Make no mistake about it as soon as Iran gets a nuclear bomb they will give it to Hamas or another terrorist group.  War with Iran is coming and the US and Israel should get the mullahs while they are weak, before they get the bomb.

Good Riddance Chas W Freeman

I was glad that Chas Freeman withdrew his nomination to the National Intelligence Council.  But after hearing NPR's All Thing's Considered I realized that the liberal media was not going to give you the real story.  Mr Freeman was US ambassador to Saudi Arabia from 1989 to 1992.  He then succeeded Sen George ( I surrender ) Mc Govern on the Middle East Policy Council.  Mr Freeman's critics said he was too close to Saudi Arabia and China to be on the National Intelligence Council.  Plus Chas Freeman was anti-Isreal.  On NPR Mr Freeman claims he never took money from the Saudis and blames the Isreal lobby.  According to Newsmax , Mr Freeman was one of the authors of the National  Intelligence Estimate that claimed Iran was no longer trying to obtain a nuclear weapon.  This is the Democratic version of the Valerie Plaine affair.  President Obama, a known appeaser, wanted  someone who would "cook the books" on the NIC.  Then Obama could cuddle up to America's enemies, like Iran, with less opposition.

The Gaza Operation

Thanks to blacktygrrr for her correspondence. I was discouraged after the election, and I have not been writing much.
The Palestinians are using a crude infantry suppression weapon based on a Russian version from WW II.  I don't know the Russian name for it but the German version is the Nebelwefer.  The Nebelwefer is rocket propelled artillery and it is good for covering a broad range of territory.  However it is inaccurate, that is you can not aim it with any precision.  Isreal is using precision based weapons to reduce civilian causalities.
The Palestinians are acting like barbarians.  Hamas won the election; the Europeans say.  So did Hitler and the Palestinians should pay the same price as the Germans.  Anyone who tries to convert from Islam in Gaza faces a potentias death threat.  According to the ACLJ and the Voice of the Martyrs, Christians are being harrassed in the Gaza strip.  Ehud Barak practically offered the Palestinians the whole store, except Jerusalem, but they would not accept it.

More Acorn Madness

In June I wrote "Obama,Acorn, and Voter Fraud" concerning the largest case of voter fraud in Washington State.  Obama used to be a legal representative and a "community organizer" for Acorn.  Besides Washington, Acorn has been linked to voter fraud in Ohio,Missouri,Pennsylvania and 11 other states.
Now Acorn offices in Las Vegas, Nevada   have been raided by law enforcement agencies investigating voter fraud on 10/07/2008.  The task force was led by the office of the Nevada Secretary of State, a Democrat.  They seized computer records and documents.  Acorn has been blamed  for submitting many voter registrations with false and duplicate names including names of ex Dallas Cowboy players.
I see a pattern of corruption here.  Republicans have clashed with Acorn for awhile.  In 1986 twelve members of Acorn were convicted for voter fraud in Missouri.  Republicans successfully blocked a Democratic attempt to give Acorn $20 billion from the $700 billion bailout package recently passed.  On the same day as the Las Vegas offices were raided, Indiana Republicans complained that Acorn had submitted hundreds of bad voter applications, voters who had moved died or were unqualified.  Yet the liberal media makes little of these accusations and this clear pattern of fraud.  It is as if the mainstream media does not want to report this and only does so reluctantly.

Obama's Campaign Cash

The Federal Election Committee gave the Associated Press a list of overseas donors that did not fill their state designation blank on October 6,2008.  Only US citizens living abroad can make campaign donations.  According to FEC records Obama raised $3.3 million from donors who did not list their home state or used an abbreviation that didn't match any of the 50 states or US territories.  The $3.3 million list does not include donations under $200 and do not have to be itemized. Obama's campaign does not identify these donors; unlike Mc Cain who lists all of his donors on his web site.
The Republican National Committee filed a complaint with the FEC on 10/06/2008 asking for an investigation of Obama's overseas money.
Now Obama's staff requests passport number from overseas donors,
Most donors give in even dollar amounts.  Ken Boehm, head of the National Legal and Policy Center, says they are converting local money into US dollars.
"I have never seen this in all my years (30) of raising money for political candidates.  The first thing it suggests is foreign currency transactions-contributions from foreign donors which is clearly illegal," said Boehm.
One possible source of these ill funds is the Obama online store which sell t-shirts and other items.  Newsmax among others showed that Palastinians from Gaza and other foreigners had made large buys online.  Newsmax claims to have "virtually shut down" the online store, but a quick Google search finds a bunch of these sites (including offical ones) are active now.

Unreported Terrorism

I notice practically no coverage of terrorist activity in the US and Canada in the mainstream media.  Yet if you search the internet you find several reports of domestic terrorism.
Derrick Shareef was sentenced to 35 years in jail for attempting to attack the Cherryvale Mall in Rockford Illinois during the 2006 Christmas seasons.  Derrick Shareef, a 24 year old convert to Islam, planned to blow up hand grenades in the crowded mall. In spite of Derricks' conviction of plotting to use weapons of mass destruction on September 30,2008 Federal Judge David Coar did not believe that Derrick
was evil and gave Shareef five years off for "good behavior".  This is the kind of fool judges we can expect under President Barack Obama.
According to Dick Morris in Fleeced the liberal media downplays terrorism to elect Democrats,to protect civil liberties( of terrorists naturally), and to avoid offending minorities.
The mainstream media underplayed 5 major terrorist events.  The Brooklyn Bridge plot was stopped by NSA intercepts; thanks to the Patriot Act the National Security Agency told the NY Police Department about the plot.  A blowtorch could cut the cables and send the Brooklyn Bridge crashing into the East River.  There were hidden areas under the bridge where a terrorist could work in seclusion.
The JFK airport plot planned to blow up fuel lines under the airport.  This involved R.M.Defretas a retired airport cargo worker with inside knowledge of JFK Airport, satellite photos of JFK to assist in planning the mission, noticable financial resources to travel to Guyana and Trinidad in South America to obtain futher backing for the mission, making surveillance videos of JFK and the surrounding area.
The plot to kill soldiers at Fort Dix was no joke, neither was Jose Padilla the dirty bomber.  But the liberal media portrayed them as amateurish to prevent Republicans from winning elections.

Obama and Abortion

Obama is one of the most radical pro-choice candidates ever.  When Obama was serving in the Illinois State Senate, a bill was introduced in March 2001 that said," A live child born as a result of an abortion shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law."
This bill was the result of a study of a Chicago-area hospital that left babies born alive in spite of an abortion to die without treatment.( I believe this is worse than Red China's forced abortions. If the baby is born alive there China cares for them.)
State Senator Obama was the ONLY senator to speak against the bill on the Senate floor.  Obama said," This is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny...whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the equal protection clause...if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place."
This is horse manure; the bill only applied to babies already born.  As for constitutional scrutiny see the Supreme Court's Partial-Birth Aborton Baby Act of 2003 in Gonzales vs Carhart. Yet Obama voted "present" on the bill.  This bill died in a House committee but was reintroduced in 3 separate bills in 2002.  This time Obama had the courage to vote no against the two bills that received a vote.  Again Obama spoke out against the bills in the Illinois State Senate.
"Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion presidential candidate ever," said conservative columnist Terence P. Jeffrey.
"I could find no instance in his entire career in which he voted for any regulation or restriction on the practice of abortion,"writes David Freddoso author of The Case Against Barack Obama.
Obama voted "present" on a vote requiring parental notifacation of a minor obtaining an abortion.
Obama is also for partial-birth abortions.  This horror involves partially delivering the baby, and then sucking its brains out.  We had a long fight ot get this bill passed.  It was twice voted by Bill Clinton. Then when we finally passed the bill under President George Bush the liberals took it to the Supreme Court.  But does that stop liberals like Barack Obama? No. In July 2007 Obama spoke before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act," said Obama.
The Freedom of Choice Act was introduced by US Senator Barbra Boxer and US Representative Jerrold Nadler.  This bill would gratly expand federal protection of abortion rights far beyond Roe vs Wade or Planned Parenthood vs Casey.  This bill would not only kill the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, but would also invalidate many state and local abortion laws.  Basically you would get abortion on demand.  You can bet that the mainstream media won't mention any of this.

No Votes for US Soldiers Overseas

According to the Federal Election Assistance Commission overseas and absentee military voting for the 2006 elections was 5.5 percent. There are six million absentee military voters, their families, and civilian Americans living abroad.  But the quality of voting statistics is awful;we don't know how many of the 300,000 votes were actually sent in.
Retired U.S. Marine Corps Charles Henry said,"While virtually everyone involved...seems to agree that military people deserve at least equal opportunity when it comes to having their votes counted,indications are that in November 2008,many thousands of service members who try to vote will do so in vain."  Capt. Henry received his 1980 absentee ballot too late to count.
On July 8th  Rep Roy Bunt, the House Republican  Whip, introduced a resolution to help the Defense Dept. better enable overseas military personnel to vote in the November elections.  Not one Democrat joined Blunt as a co-sponsor.  In fact the act was followed by silence.
The Defense Dept. Inspector General's report of March 2007 suggested "appointment of civilian personnel as "voting assistance officers". But the Pentagon rejected that concept.
Robert Novak reported that the troubles of the 2000 absentee military voting had not been corrected for the 2004 Presidential election.Remember how Jessie Jackson cried about every vote must count in Florida.  He didn't show up for the ralley for military absentee ballots.  Are Democrats afraid that soldiers will cast too many Republican votes.
One turkey that need  to go is Under Secretary of Defense David Chu.  Chu was put in charge of the problem in 2004.  He is best known for not returning telephone calls about the military voting scandal.

Combating Defamation of Religions - A Trojan Horse

The resolution Combating Defamation of Religions was designed by the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) and presented to the United Nations.  Starting in 1999 this anti-defamation has been submitted to the UN. It first started out to ban defamation of Islam and then changed to religions, but NO other religions are mentioned.  The OIC adopted the Cairo Declaration of Human Rights which makes sharia law the only source for human rights.  Sharia law allows the death penalty for anyone trying to convert from Islam, subjets non-Muslims to dhimmi( 2nd class) status, and prevents "converted " kidnapped victims from being returned to their non-Muslim family of origin, etc.
Consider the case of Saba Younis 13 and Aneela Younis 10 who were kidnapped in Chowk Munda, Pakistan on June 26th. Their father Younis Masih tried to file kidnapping charges against Muhammed Arif, Abjad Ali, and taxi driver Muhammed Asraf.  Accoring to Compass Direct these guys belong to "a powerful human trafficking ring"  The kidnappers claimed the girls had "converted" to Islam so they could not be returned to their Christian family.  The District Judge Mian Muhammed Naeem agreed with this nonsense and ruled in favor of the kidnappers.  The girls uncle Khalid Raheel told AsiaNews that Muhammed Arif gang recruited girls to force them to work in a bordello.  Naeem Asghar, the coordinator for the Catholic commision for justice and peace, said such marriages are phoney and are used to force girls into prostitution.  Khalil Tahir, the family's lawyer, said it is possible that the girls have been raped and sold to a brothel.  Younis Masih said," My Muslim countrymen think we are not human beings. They think we do not have dignity."
The American Center for Law and Justice(ACLJ)  has a petition which is to be given to the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights. It already has more than 23,000 signatures.  The ACLJ's European branch (ECLJ)  submitted a legal analysis on the "Defamation of Religions" to the same U.N. commisioner.  Noting that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Scalia said," America is at war with radical Islamists", the ACLJ said," Never have Christians been more targeted for their relgious beliefs.  And never have we faced a  more dangerous threat than the one posed by the OIC."
The US State Department also dislikes the "Defamation of Religions" proposal.  Leonard Leo said,"This resolution is incomplete inasmuch as it fails to address the situation of all religions....that any resolution on this topic must include mention of the nned to change educational systems that promote hatred of other religions, as well as the problem of state-sponsored media that negatively targets any one religion."
Thanks to World Net Daily and the ACLJ for bringing this to light. Unfortunately these issues get no mainstream media attention; even Fox news and NewsMax.com are falling down on the job.

Black Republicans and Obama

I found a very disturbing story in NPR about black conservatives and Obama.  I am a black Republican and I would not think of voting for Obama especially in wartime, but others do not feel that way.  Armstrong Williams conservative talk show host says he has never voted for a Democrat for president.
"I don't necessarily like his policies; I don't like much that he advocates, but for the first time in my life, history thrusts me to really seriously think about it.  I can honestly say I have no idea who I'm going to pull that lever for in November.  And to me, that's incredible," said Williams.
"Among black conservatives they tell me privately, it would be very hard to vote against him in November," said Williams.
Even I have voted for two Democratic presidents, much to my regret.  Jimmy, no guts, Carter and Bill, the biggest crook since Richard Nixon, Clinton.  But I did not vote for either of these bums for a second term.
Even more upsetting than Armstrong Williams, J.C. Watts, who was once part of the GOP House leadership, is thinking of voting for Obama.  Watts claims Republicans neglect the black community while Democrats reach out to them.
"And Obama highlights that even more," Watts said.  "Republicans often seem indefferent to those things." ( poverty and urban policy)
This is the same J.C. Watts who Rebublicans begged not to retire from the House.  This is the same J.C. Watts who along with Newt Gingrich soliticed funds from me for Gopac?
Another hero of mine Gen. Colin Powell said both candidates are qualified.
"I will vote for the individual I think that brings the best set of tools to the problems of 21st-century America and the 21st-century world regardless of party, regardless of anything else other than the most qualified candidate," Powell said.
Powell must have fogotten about Jimmy Carter, George Mc Govern, and Bill Clinton.  Appeasement does not work.  Besides Powell has benn called a RINO "Republican In Name Only"
If this turkey Obama was white Watts and Williams would not even think of voting for him.
Now for some voices of reason. Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele the deputy permanent chairman of the GOP National Convention says, " As an African American, I'm very proud of his accomplishment.  It speaks well to his abilities and tenacity to forge ahead, and it speaks well for the country.  Having said all of that, come November I will do everything in my power to defeat him."
James T. Harris, a Milwaukee radio talk show host said, "We are of the same generation.  He's African American and I'm an American of African descent.  We both have lovely wives and beautiful children.  Other than that, we've got nothing in common.  I hope he loses every state."
For more information see the June 15,2008 NPR article "Black consevatives conflicted on Obama campaign".

Obama,ACORN, and Voter Fraud

ACORN is the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.  Barack Obama worked with ACORN as a legal representative and a "community organizer".  Naturally ACORN endorsed Obama for president.  ACORN definitely needs legal representation.  In July 2007  ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in Washington State. Seven ACORN members submitted 2,000 fake voter registration forms. Three ACORN members pleaded guilty in October. They paged thur phone books looking for names to use on forms such as "Leon Spinks" "Fruto Boy Crispila",and "Frekkie Magoal".  A King County prosecutor called ACORN criminal misdeeds " an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls".  ACORN has been implicated in lots of other cases of voter fraud  in Ohio,Missouri and 12 other states.In 2004 Ohio election officals learned that ACORN dumped thousands of voter registration forms on their lap at the submission deadline, but the forms were collected months earlier.  The Wall Street Journal said: "In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters, and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey.  In March ACORN was accused of filing fake voter registrations in Philadelphia for the April 22nd primary.  The Phila district attorney's office will investigate these charges.
Thanks to Michelle Malkin and Townhall.com for exposing this story.  The mainstrean news media claims that voter ID laws passed by several states are racist; remember ACORN.  IF Obama comes to your town ask him about ACORN..

Haditha Cover-up

    It is amazing how silent the mainstream media has been about the Marines acquitted in the Haditha Massacre.  So far seven Marines have been cleared of all charges; only Sgt. Frank Wuterich is still awaiting trail. Lt. Andrew Grayson was acquitted. Everyone else, Lt. Col Chessani, Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum, Capt Lucas McConnell, Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, and Sgt. Sanick Dela Cruz, had their charges dismissed.  Thanks to Michelle Malkin, Townhall.com, the WorldNetDaily.com , etc for exposing this story.
    I urge you to write the executive-editor@nytimes.com and tell him what a hypocrite he is. I also want you to write your Congressman to censure Rep John Murtha  D-Pa.

Obama's Marxist Connections

    According to investigators Cliff Kincaid and Herbert Romerstein, Barack Obama has far left connections with Communist ties.  Herbert Romerstein was an investigator with the U.S. House Committee on Un-American Activities.  He also was an investigator with House Committee on Internal Security and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.  In addition Romerstein  was the head of the Office to Counter Soviet Disinformation with the U.S. Information Agency.
    Cliff Kincaid is an editor of Accuracy in Media's AIM Report and the president of America's Survival Inc.  This group monitors the UN and international terrorism.
    Kincaid and Romerstein  in their paper "Communism in Hawaii and the Obama Connection" link Obama to Frank Marshall Davis.  Davis was a black poet, journalist, and Communist Party member.  He moved from Chicago to Hawaii in 1948.  Davis was a reporter for the Chicago Star and then the Honolulu Record.  Kincaid and Romerstein  claim both are "communist front newspapers".  In Obama's book "Dreams from My Father" he mentions a mentor only named "Frank".  Trying to hid Frank's real identity?  Kathryn Takara of the University of Hawaii wrote a dissertation on the life of Frank Marshall Davis.  She confirmed that Davis influened Obama while at Punahou prep school from 1975 to 1979.
    In their second paper, "Communism in Chicago and the Obama Connection", Kincaid and Romerstein show how SDS members launched Obama's political career in the Illinois State Senate.  Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorhn had a fundraiser at their Chicago home for Obama in1995.  Ayers and Dorhn were radicals with the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weather Underground.  These groups received funding from the Communist Party of USA which was funded by Moscow.
    Alice Palmer, a black Illinois State Senator, was also at Ayers' and Dorhn's funraiser.  She decided to run for the US Congress in 1995, and she choose Barack Obama as her successor.  Alice Palmer was the ONLY black journalist  to go to the Soviet Union to attend the 27th Congress of the Communist Party of the USSR. Palmer even wrote an article in the People's Daily World, the Communist Party's USA newspaper about her trip.

Ted Kennedy, the KBG, and Liberal Bias

    When Boris Yeltsin came to power in Russia in 1991, he opened the Soviet archives.  Tim Sebastian of the BBC and the London Times found a stunning document about Ted Kennedy.  Sebastian published "Teddy, the KBG and the top secret file" in the London Times on February 2,1992.  The liberal news media in the US never reported this story.
    Paul Kendor, an author and professor of political science at Grove City College, was alerted by Marko Suprun about the Kennedy document.  Suprun's father had survived Stalin's Russia (Ukraine) in the 1930's.  Marko had been trying to get the American media to cover the Kennedy story without success.  Marko knew that Paul Kendor had been researching Ronald Reagan and the Cold War, so he sent Kendor a copy.
    Paul Kendor checked out the Kennedy document with Herb Romerstein, a respected Venona researcher and Communist Party expert.  Also Harvard's Richard Pipes, along with other scholars read both the translations and the original.
    In May 14,1983 Viktor Chebrikov , head of the KBG, wrote to Yuri  Andropov about an offer from Sen. Ted Kennedy.  Kennedy's friend, John Tunney, presented the letter. Kennedy blamed President Ronald Reagan for the bad relationship between the US and the USSR.  Kennedy didn't like Star Wars, the MX,  and the Pershing II's rockets.  Kennedy wanted Ronald Reagan's re election bid stopped; so Kennedy offered a number of PR moves to counter Reagan's propaganda.  He wanted to hook up the Soviets with the American media, like Walter Cronkite and Barbra Walters, to present the USSR's case to the American public.

Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act

    It is a disgrace that Senator Obama's Global Poverty Act, which has already passed the House , is getting no mainstream media attention.  I checked the CNN, Fox, ABC, CBS, and NY Times websites, and I found nothing on the Global Poverty Act.  If not forWorld Net Daily.com, the Center for Individual Freedom, and GOPUSA I would know nothing about this important bill.
    The Global Poverty Act, S. 2433, requires the President along with the Sec. of State to develop plans to alleviate global poverty.  The Global Poverty Act relies on the Millennium Development Goals in the UN Millennium Declaration.  In addition to banning small arms, what about the Second Amendment ?, this bill  requires the US to ratifying a series of treaties. This sounds like an end around run to me. There is good reason some of these treaties have not been ratified.  These treaties are the Kyoto Protocol, the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
    How are we going to pay for this nonsense?  The Global Poverty Act takes 0.7% of the US gross national product to foreign aid.  In 13 years, according to Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy in Media, this aid will cost $845 Billion more than the US is already spending.  The liberals are planning to raise taxes already, and the bums haven't even won the White House yet.
    There is more garbage in this bill than I have time to describe here.  Please contact your senators to kill The Global Poverty Act.
