Fast & Furious Update Tuesday, Oct 18 2011 

Fast and Furious is getting some serious traction now. It’s about time. Obama and his cronies should be impeached for this. If a civilian had done any of this, they would be prosecuted for accessory to murder at a minimum. High crimes and misdemeanors, yeah, they pretty much did exactly that.

The central characters in the failed “Fast and Furious” firearms investigation were 19 men and one woman, all legal residents of the U.S., accused of laying down hundreds of thousands of dollars in illicit cash at Phoenix-area gun shops to buy an arsenal of high-powered weapons for Mexican drug smugglers.Between September 2009 and December 2010, congressional investigators said, they purchased or aided in the purchase of more than 2,000 AK-47 assault weapons, Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifles, FN 5.7mm semi-automatic pistols and other assorted rifles, shotguns and handguns that later were “walked” into Mexico. About half the weapons remain unaccounted for.They paid cash, as much as $900,000, and with each purchase they signed their names on Form 4473, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ATF document, swearing under the threat of committing a felony that they were not purchasing the weapons for someone else — that they were not “straw buyers.”But they were, and the ATF knew it.

The Tree of Liberty… Friday, Aug 5 2011 

This is an excellent article from the Patriot Post. It certainly is something that has crossed my mind a lot as of late.

I worry that America won’t recover from the tyranny that is entrenched in our government.

I still believe in the Constitution and the freedom that America offers, but it seems that we have lost a lot of our freedom, especially in the last 10 years, or so.

Is it time to water the tree of liberty?

The Next American Revolution

What is the Authority for Rebellion?

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” — Thomas Jefferson(PUBLISHER’S WARNING: The following essay may cause heartburn and knee-jerk reactions, especially in those who are predisposed to “give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety.” But as Benjamin Franklin concluded, they “deserve neither liberty nor safety.” For such feeble souls, Samuel Adams advised, “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” For those who are not cast among that faint-hearted lot, please read on.)

I receive hundreds of messages every day from Patriots across the nation. For the last three years, one thematic question has emerged with ever-increasing frequency. To paraphrase that question: “What is the authority to rebel against the central government?”

America Sells Out Israel… Thursday, Feb 17 2011 

This does not bode well for America, or Israel. Obama continues to sell out our allies in order to suck up to the Islamo-fascists.

I think he is a stealth Islamist in the White House, but that’s just my opinion. Every chance he has gotten, he has kowtowed to the Muslims in the world and done his level best to snub all of our long time allies.

Foreign Policy has the story.

In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel in Security Council
By Colum Lynch

The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body “does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity,” a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.

But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.

Still, the U.S. offer signaled a renewed willingness to seek a way out of the current impasse, even if it requires breaking with Israel and joining others in the council in sending a strong message to its key ally to stop its construction of new settlements. U.S. officials were not available for comment, but two Security Council diplomats confirmed the proposal.

What I don’t understand, is why the hell Israel has to give up land to the Palestinians, when the Arabs all around them have plenty of land and could actually carve a piece of their territory out for them. The small piece of land that they are trying to carve out of Israel is a pittance when it comes to the larger countries all around them.

The Aliens Have Landed! Monday, Sep 27 2010 

Yep, you read that right. The aliens have landed. Apparently seven years ago to be frank with you. Yeah, the young (former) Captain in the Air Force states that he saw aliens hovering over a nuclear weapons facility and the aliens stole, the technology for the nuclear missiles stored at the base.

More to follow:

Aliens have deactivated British and US nuclear missiles, say US military pilots

Aliens have landed, infiltrated British nuclear missile sites and deactivated the weapons, according to US military pilots.

The beings have repeated their efforts in the US and have been active since 1948, the men said, and accused the respective governments of trying to keep the information secret.

The unlikely claims were compiled by six former US airmen and another member of the military who interviewed or researched the evidence of 120 ex-military personnel.

The information they have collected suggests that aliens could have landed on Earth as recently as seven years ago.

The men’s aim is to press the two governments to recognise the long-standing extra-terrestrial visits as fact.

They are to be presented on Monday 27 September at a meeting in Washington.

One of the men, Capt Robert Salas, said: “The US Air Force is lying about the national security implications of unidentified aerial objects at nuclear bases and we can prove it.”

He said said he witnessed such an event first-hand on March 16, 1967, at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana which housed Minuteman nuclear missiles.

Capt Salas continued: “I was on duty when an object came over and hovered directly over the site.

UN ‘to appoint space ambassador to greet alien visitors’

A space ambassador could be appointed by the United Nations to act as the first point of contact for aliens trying to communicate with Earth.

Mazlan Othman, a Malaysian astrophysicist, is set to be tasked with co-ordinating humanity’s response if and when extraterrestrials make contact.

Professor Richard Crowther, an expert in space law at the UK space agency who leads delegations to the UN, said: “Othman is absolutely the nearest thing we have to a ‘take me to your leader’ person”.

Aliens who landed on earth and asked: “Take me to your leader” would be directed to Mrs Othman.

She will set out the details of her proposed new role at a Royal Society conference in Buckinghamshire next week.

The 58-year-old is expected to tell delegates that the proposal has been prompted by the recent discovery of hundreds of planets orbiting other starts, which is thought to make the discovery of extraterrestrial life more probable than ever before.

Mrs Othman is currently head of the UN’s little known Office for Outer Space Affairs (Unoosa).

In a recent talk to fellow scientists, she said: “The continued search for extraterrestrial communication, by several entities, sustains the hope that some day human kind will received signals from extraterrestrials.

“When we do, we should have in place a coordinated response that takes into account all the sensitivities related to the subject. The UN is a ready-made mechanism for such coordination.”

Obama the Pretender… Thursday, Jun 3 2010 

Obama has been pulling the wool over the eyes of the idiot masses from the get go. But, those of us that pay attention, have seen through this guy’s BS from the start and will continue to call him out on it.

His acting is lousy, and his cast sucks just as much as he does.

Here’s an excellent article along those lines.

The (Not So) Great Pretender
By Carol Peracchio

A few years ago, the film Catch Me if You Can told the story of Frank Abagnale, Jr., an extraordinary con man who managed to successfully impersonate a pilot, a doctor, and a legal prosecutor all before the age of nineteen. I’ve noticed a number of similarities between Mr. Abagnale and our president. But when it comes to being a Great Pretender, Obama is sorely lacking.

Like Mr. Abagnale, Mr. Obama has been playing multiple parts ever since he came on to the national stage. Unlike Mr. Abagnale, the president is a lousy actor. The key to being a confidence man is the ability to inspire confidence. Confidence that you really are what you are pretending to be. Before embarking on the big con, President Obama could have used Frank’s advice. For example:

Obama pretends to be a brilliant scholar. He successfully accomplished this during the campaign by sticking with a cool, calm persona and shutting up when the teleprompter was off. His acolytes in the press and Democratic Party were so eager to be conned that they did not notice that Obama never provided any evidence of a stratospheric IQ. College transcripts were safely locked away. The candidate started appearing nowhere without his teleprompter or glued to his campaign staff, especially after performances such as this and his chat with Joe the Plumber.

It’s very easy to pretend to have all the answers during a campaign when no one actually expects you to solve anything. The funniest display of Obama’s low-wattage brain power was during the foreign policy debate with Senator McCain, where the most frequent sentence he uttered was “I agree with John.” It reminded me of the scene in Catch Me if You Can where Frank covers his lack of medical knowledge by asking one resident doctor what his diagnosis and plans for the patient are and then turning to another resident and asking repeatedly, “Do you concur?”

McCain: Time to ‘pull the trigger’ with Iran
BY ANNE GEARAN

WASHINGTON (AP) – Senator John McCain says the United States has been backing away from a brewing fight with Iran, while that country moves ever closer to having nuclear weapons.

McCain opened a Senate hearing Wednesday by saying that Iran will get the bomb unless the United States acts more boldly.

Speaking figuratively, the Arizona Republican says the U.S. keeps pointing a loaded gun at Iran but failing to “pull the trigger.”

Obama has Forsaken Freedom… Monday, Apr 5 2010 

“Obama has forsaken the cause of freedom and democracy in Russia and signaled that former Soviet space is now Russia’s playground. In return, he has received the makings of a new Cuban missile crisis in our hemisphere and all-out war in the Middle East.”

This man is going to make things really hard on America in the years to come. His inaction, followed by action that is deemed moronic at best will put America in jeopardy.

Not only is he taking away American freedoms one thing at a time, he’s putting us in danger on several fronts. Now America is once again having to look in three different directions; South America, the Middle East, and once again towards Europe, specifically in the direction of the former Soviet Union.

Obama’s Russian Disaster
By
Kim Zigfeld

The point of President Barack Obama’s much-ballyhooed “reset” of relations with Vladimir Putin’s Russia was simple: Get Russia to stop supporting American enemies and use its influence to reduce the threat of nuclear terror being rained down on the West by the world’s rogue regimes.

Obama was ready, willing, and able to betray Russian human rights activists by selling American values down the river in order do get this deal done, and he promptly gave them the cold shoulder. He was even willing to totally ignore Russia’s horrific problem of race murder and its invasion of tiny Georgia for imperial conquest.

Last week, Obama learned the wisdom of Ronald Reagan’s famous advice on Russia: “Trust, but verify.”
