Listening to the manic chants takes me back to a very unpleasant 2008, and election night when the sun set on the American dream.

DOJ New Website Banner: Janet Reno Eric Holder Both Fond of New Quote
Old Glory has been removed from the Department of Justice (DOJ) website banner and replaced with a black background and white print. A new motto now resides on the webpage - a quote of which its origins are not completely certain, but were greatly admired by former Attorney General Janet Reno in January 2001, something she and Eric Holder apparently have in common. The quote is usually attributed to C. Wilfred Jenks, a Director-General of the U.N.'s International Labor Organization which busies itself with "the promotion of social justice."
Most telling: Jenks, as director of the ILO is credited with putting in place the first Soviet senior member of the UN organization, and also with creating an environment that allowed the ILO to give "observer status" to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and to issue anti-Israeli statements, which precipitated efforts by the U.S. Congress to withdraw U.S. membership from the ILO. The U.S. actually did withdraw in the mid-1970s due to the organization's leftist leanings.
"It was Jenks's efforts that helped make the ILO a tool of the socialist and communist movement," says one of the DOJ lawyers. "We used to joke about how fitting it was that this was Janet Reno's favorite quote to use in speeches, and now the Obama folks think it encapsulates out department's mission."
There is, on the wall of the 9th Street gate, a saying that I have come to rely on again and again. It says, "The common law derives from the will of mankind, issuing from the life of the people, framed by mutual confidence, and sanctioned by the light of reason."
Unless the law issues from all of the people, some of the people will feel left out. They will come to feel alienated. They will be angry. And this will not be a cohesive democracy. If you don't care about that, they will feel left out, alienated, and they will not have the opportunities that others have to skills, to jobs, to opportunity. That will only hurt America.About Jenks from the International Labour Organization:
He held honorary degrees from many universities throughout the world. He lectured at the British Academy and the Universities of Georgia and Yale and was five times visiting professor at the Hague Academy of International Law. He was one of the international advisers to the American Law Institute on the drafting of its Statement of Essential Human Rights, one of the texts which served as a basis for drafting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.C. Wilfred Jenks was the author of numerous books with titles that champion globalism. Here are a few:
Law, Freedom and Welfare
International Law in a Changing Word, Orthodoxy and Innovation in the Law of Nations
The World beyond the Charter in Historical Perspective: A Tentative Synthesis of Four States of World Organization
A New World of Law: A Study of the Creative Imagination in International Law
I mentioned that Janet Reno is fond of the quotation, and it happens that Eric Holder introduced Reno on January 15, 2001 - the day she made the comment about the quote on the 9th Street Wall of the DOJ. Additional Source.

Jeremiah Wright Praises Socialism, Marxism
Jeremiah Wright is speaking (or reading) to the New York Society for Ethical Culture in 2009 - and is speaking of their publications. He praises them for filling an invaluable purpose, specifically the socialist perspective. He says they fill an incredible void in critical thinking, and loves their idea of "no nonsense marxism." He speaks of Martin Luther King, and recently said King was wrong to advocate for non-violence. Wright appears to hate everything about this country, and the only thing a White can do to please him, is leave the U.S. So has he called for black on white violence - a battle cry maybe, by invoking MLK? Are we moving into the return of the Black Power era and has Wright embraced it?
Listen as he says "after all we are a Christian country," and listen to the chatter in the audience. Visit the New York Society for Ethical Culture here. See links to background on Jeremiah Wright below the video.
A reader, Sara, brought up a salient point that I first misunderstood Wright's comments about the "menange a trois." After more research, I accept that. It seems I succumbed to the belief that MLK was really more conservative in his thinking, that he explored what capitalism meant, but did not damn it, and I believed that while he suffered for the treatment of Blacks, he did not hate Whites or the U.S. As I dig deeper, I'm ready to concede that none of that may be true. We can't know whom MLK would have stood with today. Maybe he would have embraced Black Liberation Theology and Jeremiah Wright. I'll note once more though - Wright recently said MLK was wrong to advocate non-violence.

Too Horrible To Contemplate!
By Findalis of Monkey in the Middle
I received this via an e-mail and did some checking up on the facts I am about to present to you. Most of this I have been able to confirm through my own sources.
Earlier today I posted about the warning Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely issued about the grave danger Israel is in. Following that, I received this from a colleague who has close friends in Israel. Here’s what she wrote:I was able to verify through my own sources every one of the 10 points cited here. Yet Barack Hussein Obama is sending his Kapos
I have just received this: from my friend in Israel who moves in high circles there.
No attribution possible. It’s from a very trustworthy source who was himself the recipient and knows these people. They send him information clandestinely and they remain incognito, so that they can safely inform Americans of what is actually happening. I’m sure that they would be pleased to have the information disseminated.
Incidentally, in my opinion, this is what appears to be happening. Obama has made secret deals with the Iranian mullahcracy to facilitate the weakening of both the USA and Israel, even the planned destruction of Israel, in exchange for promises from Iran and now the Turkish leadership that ‘all they want’ – Ã la Munich, 1938 – is their individual MidEast Sudentenland, each of them.
Turkey and Iran have decided to split the ME between them – East and West. Turkey will recreate a new Sunni-controlled Ottoman Empire, and Iran will be allowed its own ‘greater Iran’ hegemony…i.e. a new Shiite Caliphate stretching beyond its current borders.
Obama, who is a Muslim, agrees with this plan and has pledged to help throw Israel – along with all American national security interests – to the wolves.
This appears to me to be what is currently happening, and Americans had better awaken to this reality long before November, 2012, or we won’t have a country, or an Israel, to save any longer.
***Tonight Clive and I heard very disturbing information – we heard it from a consultant to the United States who meets once a month with the President in the White house. He is in the know. This is what actually has happened with the relationship with Israel and the USA and it is not pretty:
1. Israel during the Bush and Clinton Administrations – had landing rights in Turkey, and in the USA bases in the middle east and more recently under George Bush, in Iraq. This was in case they were invaded by Iran , or Saudi or any other Arab country. Obama has withdrawn those landing rights. Israel now has nowhere to refuel in the Middle East.
2. Netanyahu was instructed to come to the White House for a meeting. He was brought in through a servants entrance – the only head of state ever in US history to be given that disgraceful treatment. He was not offered even a cup of tea – but was lectured to by Obama who told him that he is not permitted to attack Iran and that he has to withdraw all forces from the West Bank and may not build any more settlements ( neighborhoods) in East Jerusalem.
3. Israel found out that there were four terrorists meeting in Dubai . As they have done for the past 62 years, they informed the US of that and said that these terrorists had to be dealt with. Obama said under no circumstances. Israel decided to go ahead. They killed the one terrorist who showed up. However the CIA was sent there to film the entire event by Obama – and then a concerted PR campaign was waged by the White house to discredit Israel and what they did – this kind of action has taken place with US support for the past 62 years since we have common enemies.
4. Obama has refused to oppose Syria’s rearming of Hezbollah and Hamas – Israel now sits in imminent danger from the amounts of missiles that can be sent into her territory.
5. Israel will never tell the US again of its plans – since they cannot trust us.
6. Israel intends to attack Iran –there are over 30 installations of which 4 have underground bunkers that contain nuclear weapons. Israel cannot wait any longer. The US is no longer supporting Israel ’s self defense.
7. This is the same man that gave the White House a full file on the 9.11 attack – his warnings and proof were laughed at.
8. He believes that the next attacks in the USA will be mass transportation – subways and malls – especially the largest malls where the most people can be killed – and that Vegas and wherever there are conventions of employees will be a huge target. We are not prepared and are naive in our lack thereof.
9. Once Israel attacks Iran , every Jew and Jewish institution will be at risk – temples, religious schools etc. We must be prepared.
10. This kept a room of 200 people spellbound. It is not fiction. It is fact.
What can be done?
It is essential that everyone who doesn’t know yet, now understands that the protection and survival of Israel is not on Obama’s list – and he is now taking ACTUAL steps to move all protections away – no more landing rights, negotiating with Iran and Syria, making nice to the Muslim World in the face of allies of long standing and he is no friend of the Jewish people and Israel.
We must be sure that we elect politicians who protect Israel as well as the USA – our interests are intertwined. Please forward to everyone you know.
With this happening, no wonder Netanyahu is on edge!
On this date, 5 Sivan 5741 (June 7, 1981), Israel bombed and destroyed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in Baghdad. Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had pronounced himself as the reincarnation of Babylonian tyrant Nebuchadnezzar, and named the nuclear reactor "Tammuz" -- the name of the calamitous Jewish month when Nebuchadnezzar's troops laid siege on Jerusalem 2,500 years earlier. Ilan Ramon (later to become Israel's first astronaut, who died in the explosion of the Space Shuttle Columbia) and seven other pilots executed the daring raid -- flying over enemy Arab territory for hours, and avoiding detection with their tight formation that emitted a radar signal resembling a commercial airliner. However, even as Israel celebrated the successful raid, condemnation was nearly universal. One prominent U.S. senator called it "one of the most provocative, ill-timed and internationally illegal actions taken in that nation's history." Two decades later, as the world feared Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, the Israeli action was vindicated.
Israel will do what is necessary to survive regardless of what Barack Hussein Obama want them to do, even if it costs them funding and/or support.

Obama: At a certain point you've made enough money! Video
Straight from Obama's Marxist, fire-breathing, racist mouth, he strays off-teleprompter, and we hear it from him - he who made $5.5 million in 2009, there comes a time when we've made enough money. See video below.
From the video:
[OBAMA] We’re not, we’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy."The core responsibilities" - like sharing our wealth? Like he told Joe the Plumber, to help "the guy behind us?" Americans do not have a responsibility to grow the economy. When we take care of our business, the economy grows. The responsibility to ourselves and our families, our church and the other private and charitable outreaches we choose to make - those are our responsibilities.
Obama is so steeped in collectivism, that he doesn't have a clue how this country works, or the fight he will face as we take this country back from him.
Hear great commentary from The Great One, Mark Levin in the video below.

Socialism Chavez Style: Devalue the Currency Cripple the People Steal the Farms
Venezuela's president, Hugo Chavez, announced the devaluation of the country's currency, the bolivar, by half, and just as bad news from the Obama administration is announced on weekends or late on Friday, Chavez delivered the startling proclamation during an important Friday night baseball game. Here is a good example of Socialism once it is on a roll:
The socialist Chavez believes the state should have a weighty role in managing the economy. During his 11 years in office he has nationalized most heavy industry, and business and finance are tightly regulated.Government workers and those on the government dole will be the benefactors, thus increasing the loyalty vote for Chavez...which gives him a few more years to increase his chance of being elected dictator-for-life.
The devaluation is politically risky but means every dollar of oil revenue puts more bolivars in government coffers. That allows Chavez to lavish cash on social projects and fund salary increases ahead of parliamentary elections in September.
Opponents were quick to criticize the socialist, who a year ago promised the global financial crisis would not touch "a hair" of Venezuela's economy. He announced the devaluation on Friday night during an important baseball game.
"By establishing the exchange rate at 4.3 bolivars per dollar, the quality of life for Venezuelans is automatically devalued since we now have half the money we had before," said Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma, a Chavez opponent.
...for a currency renamed the "strong bolivar" two years ago when Mr. Chavez chopped three zeros off the old currency and declared the beginning of an era of monetary fortitude.With inflation in 2009 between 25% and 30%, Venezuela is home to one of the top ten oil reserves in the world. This is a wealthy country, but these are bleak times for the people.
In February, "the people" lifted term-limit restriction on the presidency. About 54% of voters approved the ban. How does that happen? How do the people vote to end their democracy, and why? Javier Corrales, a contributor to HuffingtonPost says "the systems of checks and balances has become inoperative."
Government negotiations with opposition forces are nonexistent; the judiciary rarely restrains government actions; state employees are forced to act as campaign props and vote for the government; electoral authorities disregard the law; and the ruling party is allowed to make use of state resources that are systematically denied to the opposition.And Corrales says "Chavismo" has gone beyond the normal "garden-variety electoral autocracy," by "enabling" "the promotion of disorder" and "chaos.
Then, after the referendum:
Opposition leaders who won regional elections in December have been denied funding to run their governments or pushed into self-exile-to avoid arrest under selectively applied corruption laws. Other leaders have been jailed. The government has begun to ban books from libraries. With the help of the military, it has also accelerated the arbitrary nationalization of private assets. Chávez has repressed independent student groups, and is attempting to shut down Globovisión, the most critical television news channel left in the country.Long before the ban on term limits, Chavez began seizing farm land - "forced land redistribution" - and once seized, the plan was to be "utopian farming villages for squatters. Army commandos stood by and watched as squatters did the devil's work back in 2007, and after, and threatened farm owners with machetes, rifles and their lives.
The redistribution of wealth did not work, of course. This report from May 2009:
The 32,000-acre (12,950-hectare) El Charcote Ranch in central Venezuela was meant as a showcase for President Hugo Chavez's agrarian revolution, turning a country with food shortages and runaway inflation into one that could feed itself. But since troops and peasants seized the land from a British agribusiness company four years ago, beef production has dropped from 2.6 million pounds (1.2 million kilograms) annually to zero.
The ranch and many like it across the country raise the concern that the dream of a Venezuela living off its own land is just one more socialist promise heavy on rhetoric and light on results. The Chavez government says it has taken over more than 5.4 million acres (2.2 million hectares) of farmland from private owners. Yet food imports have tripled since 2004, the year before Chavez began his aggressive reform program.
The reality of a government-promised utopia:
This vast ranch used to be filled with grazing herds of cattle, but the green pastures are now overgrown with weeds and dotted with patches where poor farmers grow corn and beans. The cows have vanished.The Chavez plan went astray as oil prices plummeted and funding for his bloated social programs, and vote purchasing, was not sustainable...without devaluing the monetary holding of the people. What a sad story...and a word of warning to America. Oh, and a reminder to America too: President Obama and Hillary Clinton congratulated Chavez on his un-term-limited future, along with the Castro brothers. Do ya think there's an agenda here?

Antonio Gramsci Model for Cultural Marxist Revolution in America
Cultural Revolution in America, originally published at American Daughter
By Gwendolyn Kik
Antonio Gramsci was an Italian marxist who made a plan for the insidious erosion of freedom without overt hostility.
Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity. … In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society. ~~ Antonio Gramsci, 1915Antonio Gramsci was an Italian marxist, who sought to explain exactly why the revolution predicted by Marx had not yet materialized. His conclusion was that the church and the values held by the people were the deterrent. While in prison Gramsci wrote extensively, laying out plans for the overthrow of a capitalistic society. Rather than overtaking the political and economic system by force, his strategy was more subtle and sinister.
The first step, in Gramsci’s view, is to transform the ideology of the people. His means include using education, the media, and setting up separate organizations whose goal is to manipulate the masses into mindsets that are receptive to marxist ideals. Once traditional/Christian mores have been corrupted and the nuclear family destroyed, the citizens of society will be willing to accept the “new ideas” of the progressive leadership without question.
The second prong of Gramsci’s approach is then, using the democratic process itself, to overtake the government by the will of the people. Where Marx called for defiant “revolution” from the bottom up, the revolution of Gramsci is a top-down model whereby leaders with marxist ideology infiltrate the political parties and enforce their will upon the people.
While many conservatives have been discussing Saul Alinsky and the influence he has had on the current administration, I believe Alinsky only lays out some general guidelines for achieving “social justice.” Gramsci’s model is very specific, global, and extremely relevant to our current political climate in the United States.
Some of the policies and tactics of the Obama Administration have seemed indefensible and unexplainable, even by members of the Democratic party. Our answer to the recession is to spend more money? Asking the news networks to disregard Fox News as a “legitimate” news source? Ramming through health care legislation that is opposed by the majority of American citizens?
None of this seems to make sense … until you are introduced to Antonio Gramsci. I’m anxiously devouring the book Shadow World by Robert Chandler. Chandler is a retired veteran who has been a strategist for the Air Force, the White House, the Departments of State, Defense, Energy, and Justice, and the CIA. Chandler’s book is NOT about President Obama, but actually about the subtle takeover by communist thought in America since the 1920s and the progressive plan for our future.
Chandler lays out the history and migration of communists from Russia coming to America early in the 20th century with plans for transforming our society. These very players clung to the pattern laid out by Gramsci, and began to set up well-funded, non-profit entities to further their goals. These are organizations for affecting public policy, infiltrating and overcoming the university classrooms, changing the economy and creating government dependents, for affecting law through lobbying and legal action and a host of other “fronts” for communist activity.
Many of these organizations exist today, long shedding the labels of “marxist” or “communist” thought. Instead, their agenda is cloaked in the idea of “social justice” or “liberation.” The titles of these organizations sound so wonderful: Center for Constitutional Rights, National Lawyers Guild, Fellowship of Reconciliation, or the Center for National Security Studies. But their very existence is due, in part, to the foundation of the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), which was formed in 1963, and continues to found such leftist organizations.
The Institute for Policy Studies was founded by Samuel Rubin, a dedicated communist, and Phillip Stern (with family members indicted of spying for the Soviets) and is located in Washington, D.C. This think-tank has long beed dedicated to the establishment of a socialist society in America. To further this effort, Rubin and Stern later created the Transnational Institute (TNI) to carry the vision to the world at large. While it is difficult to find a stand-alone Mission Statement for these organizations, such terms as “effective action,” “just security,” “social equity,” and “environmental solutions” to protect the “commons,” are a thinly veiled disguise for promoting their one-world marxist utopia through arms reduction, green justice, worldwide wealth re-distribution and a host of other “effective solutions.”
Shadow World lays out the framework that has been pursued by IPS and TNI, a.k.a. the strategy of Antonio Gramsci:
Ten steps toward an American progressive-socialist-marxist civil society:
1. change the popular consensus by destroying christianity, the traditional family, and existing social mores
2. transform the culture by installing a radical Left mind control
3. attain political power by imposing strict control of the military and law enforcement
4. restrict freedom by socializing the economy
5. erase American sovreignty by embracing a world without borders
6. attain political power by winning democratic elections
7. dominate both Houses of Congress
8. restrict freedom of the press and expression
9. enforce a massive redistribution of wealth from the private and public sector
10. limit freedom of speech, religion, right to bear arms, and state’s rights
From p.309, Shadow World, by Robert ChandlerMind you, this book was published in 2008, so there is no way that Chandler could have foreseen the extent to which President Obama’s agenda would so closely follow the Gramsci pattern. When you look at this list, do you not see a representation of the ideology driving the Obama Administration? To what end are we reaching?
Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is indeed part of Barack Obama’s philosophy. But Rules for Radicals merely gives the day to day solutions for facing conflict on the road to revolution. Antonio Gramsci provides us with the larger picture of transformation — from capitalism to progressive-socialism-marxism. Alinsky shows us how to drive the car, but Gramsci shows us the map of where we have been, where we are and where we are going. God help us, for where we are going.

Regina Benjamin is Surgeon General: Obama Surgeon General Regina Benjamin
Perhaps you have read that Obama has asked his national security team to investigate the claims of human rights violations in Afghanistan by Allied Forces against the Taliban. The short story is, there is a group claiming that we put 2000 Taliban in a railroad container to move them somewhere, they suffocated and we buried them in a mass grave. All this happened in 2001. You can read that story here. Now, the following is the rest of the story.
Obama’s Surgeon General Pick…Finally No Controversy! Wait…Better Think Again
by Holger Awakens
Why is a rural doctor from the poorer section of Alabama connected to President Obama’s shocking announcement this past weekend that he will investigate U.S. involvement in the alleged mass murder of Taliban prisoners in Afghanistan in the early days of the War in Afghanistan?
I know, you think that I’ve finally lost it here, don’t you? haha Well, let me try and connect the dots for you. First off, from the article at Yahoo News, let’s take a glance at this rags to riches story of Dr. Benjamin:
Pushed by the need in her own shrimping community of Bayou La Batre, Ala., and its diverse patient mix — white, black and, increasingly immigrants from Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos — Benjamin, 51, has emerged as a national leader in the call to improve health disparities. She became the first black woman and the first doctor under age 40 elected to the American Medical Association’s board of trustees, and in 2002 became the first black woman to head a state medical society.Impressive, to say the least. However, not every organization that Regina Benjamin belongs to was included in that Yahoo article or the White House press releases. From the Fox News article, we find that Dr. Benjamin has held another seat of authority:
She also serves on the Board of Physicians for Human RightsOkay, I meant to put up a Wikipedia reference to that fact that Benjamin is on the board of Physicians for Human Rights but from the time last night when I noticed it at Wiki til this morning, that information has mysteriously (or conveniently) been deleted from the Wikipedia information.
So, since Regina Benjamin serves in such a high capacity at Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), I decided to find out more about that organization.
I invite you to view the home page of Physicians for Human Rights here and after viewing that home page, I ask you…does that organization not resemble the most radical of activist groups in America? I mean, for pete’s sakes, that home page looks like something you’d find at Code Pink or one of the anarchist sites! You notice all of the calls to expose President Bush and Vice President Cheney’s role in the Afghanistan incident from years ago?
And the light went on over my head. I decided to pull up the news story from Fox News that I cited just yesterday in the story of how Obama shockingly has reversed course and decided to investigate the U.S. role in the alleged massacre of 2,000 Taliban prisoners by the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan back in 2001. I knew I had seen the organization, Physicians for Human Rights, mentioned there..or at least thought I had seen it and lo and behold, I saw it here:
Reacting to the interview, Physicians for Human Rights hailed Obama’s decision. “President Obama is right to say that U.S. and Afghan violations of the laws of war must be investigated,” said Nathaniel Raymond, a Physicians for Human Rights researcher. “If the Obama administration finds that criminal wrongdoing occurred in this case, those responsible — whether American or Afghan officials — must be prosecuted.”Okay. Take a deep breath, because I’m not done yet. We have just seen how the newly nominated Regina Benjamin sits on the board, in a position of highest authority, at Physicians for Human Rights. And, we now have seen where that organization is calling for the prosecution of any American officials responsible for the 2001 alleged incident in Afghanistan (i’m assuming most of us have inserted “Bush/Cheney” in place of “officials”). So you have to be asking yourself just why this Physicians for Human Rights organization seems so radical….doesn’t their mission seem a bit too….oh, how should I put it….political?
Hold on to your chairs as we look at the dude that founded Physicians for Human Rights. The gentleman’s name is Dr. Jonathan Fine. Now, Dr. Fine is retired now but I want you to look at this from the PHR site that describes the mantra of this organization:
Dr. Fine also led investigations into the massive use of tear gas in South Korea and chemical weapons against Kurds in Iraq. Under his tenure, PHR documented human rights violations in Colombia, El Salvador, the Balkans, Israel and the West Bank, and Iraq following the Persian Gulf War.Okay, look at that more closely with me:
1. PHR looked into violations made my South Korea, not North Korea
2. PHR looked into human rights violations in Colombia but not Venezuela or Cuba
3. PHR addressed human rights violation in Israel but not in Gaza, Saudi Arabia or Syria
4. PHR investigated violations of human rights in Iraq AFTER the Persian Gulf War but has not investigated human rights violations in Iran, Pakistan, China or Russia
So, you could ask me, why are you spending so much time on this, Holger? Because I have determined that every single appointment, every single decision and every single action taken by our new President in the past six months can be linked to his furthering a Socialist/Marxist agenda for America.
This woman, Regina Benjamin, stood up in front of the press corps yesterday, supposedly with this down home all-American image and the whole time the American people did NOT get to see her for what she is…she is a radical activist in the movement of Socialism in this country - she helps direct an organization that demanded that Barack Obama do its bidding and he did. This is an alliance between a front group of radical activism and the head of our government.
Barack Hussein Obama. A President who has now used the post in America most associated for watching out for the health and welfare of American citizens to further his socialist agenda.
Regina Benjamin. A simple, rural doctor tending to the poor in Alabama? Think again, America, think again.

Taking the Law to the Lawless
Seeing that the anti-Americanists have managed to subvert the judiciary in this nation to the extent that more unconstitutional laws have been passed than constitutional ones, I was wondering if we could use the courts to reverse that trend. One never knows.So, I went to my attorney that I have used for years for many things and made an appointment for one of those 30-minute free consultations. I presented my idea/desire to my attorney and that 30-minute free consultation lasted more than two hours.
I was asked what I would settle for, how much money I was looking for, what kind of damages was I wanting to be compensated for, etc.
Like I said, over two hours later, I witnessed six lawyers getting on board with the idea. I have no idea where this is going to go but I guess that as long as I pay their fees, they will take this as far as they are able.
What I am looking for is this: 30,000,000 Americans making appointments with their attorneys via the 30-minute free consultations to begin making waves through the legal system. Can you imagine what noise that would make if all of a sudden, our unconstitutional congress critters were getting hit with law suit after law suit demanding they perform their constitutional duties?
I have a recent list of the targets located in this article: Unconstitutional House Members
There are some Senators as well but I haven’t compiled that list yet.
Remember, if you go with this idea, go to your attorneys as if you are the one making this inquiry and don’t tell them others are doing this as well. Let them talk amongst themselves and let them “discover” the Tsunami rising. Also, go armed. If you don’t know the violations against the constitution, you won’t go anywhere with this. I was able to show them the blatant and outright fraudulent behavior of the current and past sessions of congress.
So, please make your appointments and go for broke. What do we have to lose? The more important question is this…what do we have to gain? Our country? Our Heritage?

What is He Thinking?
Here's a first-class rant cross-posted from The Lonely Conservative
No, I don’t think Barack Obama is a bad man. I think he really believes he can build a perpetual motion machine. I hear in his voice the faith that he can overcome the laws of economics, and physics, and human nature. This naiveté is great for philosophers but dangerous in politicians. It’s dangerous because we expect our leaders to protect us from rain makers, snake oil salesmen, and faith healers. We don’t expect them to be of that ilk.Sadly, it seems Mr. Obama is worse than the old snake oil salesman. He’s even worse than Bernard Madoff. At least Madoff’s victims all willingly signed up for the too-good-to-be-true. Fifty-seven million Americans didn’t sign up for Mr. Obama’s programs, nor did our children or grandchildren, but we will all be stuck paying the tab for decades to come. Michelle Malkin nailed it when she called his proposed stimulus package The Generational Theft Act of 2009. Obama’s line about seeking out Marxist professors also sticks in my mind.
I’ve never heard a quote where he said to balance the Marxists he sought out supply-side economics professors, of the FA Hayek ilk. While dreaming up his grand plans to control the economy, does he ever take the time to read economic theory that’s counter to the Marxists?
He made sure he mentioned that he inherited the $1.2 trillion deficit. No reporter thought to ask him why he didn’t do something about that while he was a voting member of the US Senate. The last time I checked Congress controls the purse strings, the President just signs spending bills when they land on his desk. It also would have been nice if a reporter had asked whether the $700 billion TARP program is included in the $1.2 trillion deficit, and if it’s included, whether they’re accounting for the revenue to the Treasury that program is generating. They’ve already realized a gain of $8 billion or 4%. According to the Wall Street Journal “if you annualize TARP’s return on the assumption that it will continue to succeed, it would add up to a roughly 16% return on that initial $200 billion investment a year.” Sure, Obama’s promising more “investment”.
But what will he invest in? Unproven green technology that may be more expensive than current technology? 600,000 government jobs? He said the deficit will expand into the trillions (note this is plural of trillion) in the months to come. From what I’ve heard, it sounds more like he plans to just spend, not invest, a great deal of our money.
Finally, the media could have redeemed themselves by asking whether his constant attacks on the US economy over the past year or two could possibly have had anything at all to do with the current situation. Think about it. Americans were hearing for months and months that our economy was failing. Responsible Americans stopped spending money and started saving. What happens when we stop spending our money on goods and services?
What Mr. Obama doesn’t seem to understand is that the more money Americans have in our pockets the more we spend. In other words, when we use the fruits of our labor to purchase things we desire we are ”spreading the wealth around.” What happens when politicians promise small business owners that their taxes are going to increase? They lay people off. They stop “spreading the wealth around.” Unless Mr. Obama starts to understand these simple principles we, our children and the children who are yet to be born are in for a world of hurt.

Kenyan Genocide Grabbing News and Accusations
The ethnic strife took one of Africa’s most-developed countries by surprise in January and February of this year, as roving gangs armed with machetes and clubs fought riot police and set fire to churches, homes and businesses.After the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate, Raila Odinga, lost the Kenyan Presidential election, extreme ethnic violence broke out and thousands were murdered and seriously injured. Odinga has been accused of flaming the fires of the angry mobs, however, this report does not name Raila Odinga as a perpetrator - but 219 of his party were. Odinga, with the help of former U.N. head, Koffi Annan, was subsequently named Prime Minister of Kenya. Barack Obama's relationship with Raila Odinga has been highly criticized. Senator Obama campaigned in Kenya for, and with, Odinga. Odinga and Obama's fathers were close friends and were involved in numerous political adventures. Read the entire article. Thanks so much to my tipster, 30yrdem.

Video: Biden Lets It All Hang Out
Cross-posted by Mark Harvey at Take our Country Back
Why did Barack Obama’s campaign cancel a WFTV-Channel 9 interview with Jill Biden, wife of Sen. Joe Biden? The campaign cited “an unprofessional interview” WFTV’s Barbara West did Thursday with Joe Biden. In a statement Friday, Adrianne Marsh, Florida spokeswoman for Obama’s campaign, said the station, in talking with Sen. Biden, was “both combative and woefully uninformed about simple facts.” Marsh said West’s insistence that Obama was an organizer for ACORN was “100 percent false.” “In a line of questioning that would make Rush Limbaugh proud, West even went as far as to quote Karl Marx, a Communist icon, in a disturbing attempt to associate Barack Obama with socialism,” Marsh wrote. West said, “I think I asked him some pointed questions. . . . I don’t think I was rude or inconsiderate to him.”We all know that Obama is directly involved with ACORN and that his Campaign did in fact send them $800K+ to assist in their efforts to "get out the vote". We also know that Czarbie told ACORN and other groups that they would be invited to participate in the development of his Administration. That makes Joe Biden a LIAR, does it not? Joe Biden asked the question, "You're kidding. Is this a real question?" He then proceeded to lie. Imagine that? When the American People want to know the Truth, Biden and Obama lie. I thought they were espousing Hope and Change and here they are doing what a good socialist does in order to win...lie, cheat and steal. UPDATE - HT Breitbart

Ayers Audio on Anarchism, Marxism, Drugs, Patriotism
This video by College Radio Interview was filmed one week before Barack Obama and Bill Ayers sat on a panel together to discuss a book written by Ayers, A Kind and Just Parent, which Obama supported and favorably reviewed. Michelle Obama as Dean of Student Services moderated the panel and introduced both men. In this video, Ayers says:
I'm very open about what I think, and nobody here is surprised about what I thinkCross-posted from Stop the ACLU Obama’s lame excuses that he did not know how radical Ayers was when he used to hang out with him, will eventually unravel. Here’s some shocking audio from anarchist/marxist, terrorist Bill Ayers from the same week he worked with Obama. Make sure everyone you know sees this.

Obama’s Marxist Boot Camps
Cross-posted from Faultline USA
Why are the Obamas against Heterosexualism? Say what? Did I write that correctly?
Yes and ya just can’t make this stuff up folks!
When you think of Obama’s presidency, God forbid, you must think re-education and redistribution!
Here's how it goes in that Boot Camp:
Remember that homosexuality is normal. Any thought that heterosexuality is normal is just plain elitist and must be eradicated along with White privilege, and a capitalistic economy.
According to an article in Investor’s Business Daily, “Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service."
The nonprofit group that Obama helped found in 1992 is called Public Allies., but more on that later. Stick with me it only gets worse.
The Wurx of Daily Kos claims that the GOP will swiftboat Obama by attacking Obama’s community organizing. “Soon to come from the GOP - why Saul Alinsky is evil.”
Well, we don’t want to disappoint the Marxist scum at Daily Kos.
What we’ve learned so far has provided a much better understanding of Obama’s “community organizing” Marxist style.
As reported by Catholics Against Obama For President
The following radio transcript is from today's Glenn Beck radio program. He shares information published in Investor's Business Weekly about Barack Obama's ties to a group called Public Allies, in which he and wife Michelle were a founding member and executive director, respectively. The article cites language from a training session in which "members" are taught that heterosexism is a negative byproduct of "capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male dominated privilege." Interesting...
Here’s an excerpt from the Glenn Beck article:
Obama said, quote: We have got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the military. Public Allies, Chicago chapter. Founding, founding member, Barack Obama. Executive director, Michelle Obama. Listen to the words in their speeches. It is all code language. It is all the language of the 1960s radicals. They have their they have their tentacles into an organization that does good things but also teaches that heterosexism is a byproduct of capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male dominated privilege. Heterosexism!
I Took The Red Pill wrote:
I’m particularly interested in Obama’s period of community activism in Chicago in the 1980s. His employer was the Gamaliel Foundation. Gamaliel, an activist organization strangely merging the teachings of Marxist strategist Saul Alinsky with those of the Apostle Paul, operates with that same sense of religious destiny that we’ve noticed in both Barack and Michelle Obama’s speeches. Alinsky counseled tapping anger as a motivator for radical change . . .
Read about Hillary’s college thesis on Saul Alinsky herein Who was Saul Alinsky?
Here’s an Excerpt from Hannity interview with Jerome Corsi This is a rush transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," July 31, 2008.
SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: HANNITY: A new book due out tomorrow makes shocking allegations about Senator Obama's background, and it may have made his campaign a bit nervous. From Barack and Michelle's 20-year-long relationship with Trinity Church to Obama's family connections to Kenya to his dealings with, well, Bill Ayers, the unrepentant terrorist, the author aims to expose what he says is the real Obama.
Joining us now, in an exclusive interview, is the author of "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and The Cult of Personality," Dr. Jerome Corsi is with us.
HANNITY: And then -- then you move into his current positions and where he stands. And it is a picture that you're painting of a radical leftist socialist, a guy that believes in redistribution, that has basically -- these views have been shaped and formed from his youth.
CORSI: That's right, including being a Saul Alinsky organizer, and Saul Alinsky was a radical leftist organizer who said that his goal was redistribution of wealth from the haves to the have-nots.
HANNITY: Walk us through those three phases, from his family to his radical associations, to his views today. . .
Here are a few excerpts from Michelle's Boot Camps For Radicals
Published 9/4/2008 in INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Election '08: Democrats' reintroduction of militant Michelle Obama in Denver was supposed to show her softer side. But it only highlighted a radical part of her resume: Public Allies.
Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, "Universal Voluntary Public Service." . . .
The pitch Public Allies makes on its Web site doesn't seem all that radical. It promises to place young adults (18-30) in paid one-year "community leadership" positions with nonprofit or government agencies. They'll also be required to attend weekly training workshops and three retreats. . .
But its real mission is to radicalize American youth and use them to bring about "social change" through threats, pressure, tension and confrontation — the tactics used by the father of community organizing, Saul "The Red" Alinsky. . .
Public Allies promotes "diversity and inclusion," a program paper says. More than 70% of its recruits are "people of color." . . .
The Obamas discourage work in the private sector. "Don't go into corporate America," Michelle has exhorted youth. "Work for the community. Be social workers." Shun the "money culture," Barack added. "Individual salvation depends on collective salvation." . . .
It's a lot of talk about race, a lot of talk about sexism, a lot of talk about homophobia, talk about -isms and phobias."
One of those -isms is "heterosexism," which a Public Allies training seminar in Chicago describes as a negative byproduct of "capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male-dominated privilege."
The government now funds about half of Public Allies' expenses through Clinton's AmeriCorps. Obama wants to fully fund it and expand it into a national program that some see costing $500 billion.
Here’s a link to Public Allies. Please note that P.A. has a public face as clean as a whistle and as American as apple pie.

The Spirit of a Gentleman...The Spirit of Religion
Excerpt from Global Analysis with J.R. Nyquist Published August 29, 2008
Enter Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. Enter, as well, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Ho Chi Minh, and today’s politically correct mob. What characterizes them, besides their egotism and narcissism, is their false idealism and moral posturing. According to Edmund Burke: “Nothing is more certain, than that our manners, our civilization, and all the good things which are connected with manners and with civilization, have, in this European world of ours, depended for ages upon two principles; and were indeed the result of both combined; I mean the spirit of a gentleman, and the spirit of religion.”Since Burke’s time, modern intellectuals have overthrown the spirit of a gentleman and the spirit of religion. Every structure, every religious precept, every honored tradition, came under intellectual attack. God and country were targeted. Religion and patriotism were targeted. The main surviving ideals of our day are those of leveling, equalizing and taxing into penury. Envy is the Holy Grail of our intelligentsia, and the annihilation of all values is their ultimate end.

Defining Socialism: Is Barack Obama a Socialist?
This short post is an eye-opener. While we may listen to Obama, read his own words and the words of others about him, read his background and understand his father's communist-socialist beliefs and teachings, we still shy away from facing the possibility that Barack Obama is more Socialist than he is Democrat. Is Barack Obama a Socialist? By Susan Duclos at Wake up America
In an interview after the event, The Kansas City Star asked him to clarify the remark. “His voting record … is more to the left than the announced socialist in the United States Senate, Bernie Sanders of Vermont,” McCain answered, according the paper. Asked if he thought Obama was a socialist, McCain answered: “I don’t know. All I know is his voting record, and that’s what people usually judge their elected representatives by.”McCain was right not answer the question directly and to refer people to Sanders' and Obama's voting records, let people compare the two for themselves and decide which candidate is more of a socialist. Here is the meaning of socialism from the dictionary:
1. a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole. 2. procedure or practice in accordance with this theory. 3. (in Marxist theory) the stage following capitalism in the transition of a society to communism, characterized by the imperfect implementation of collectivist principles.So, here is Obamas' voting record and here is Sander's voting record. There you go, everything you need to be able to make that judgment for yourself.

Obama Video: The Man Wants His Own Army
There are many theories about Obama's planned NEW national civilian security force which he plans to be "powerful, strong and well-funded."
Here's my theory:
Let us not ignore the possibility that if Obama's Senate Bill 2433 passes, the U.S. will be committed to helping the United Nations achieve and complete their Millennium Goals.
The Millennium Goals will place a worldwide freeze on militaries (including ours), will prohibit any weaponry technology, will monitor our 2nd Amendment rights, will place a tax on land and fossil fuels - and more.
A national civilian security force can be used to enforce all of the above, on behalf of the U.N., and against the U.S. military. Ridiculous? Maybe, but maybe not. Read the U.N. Millennium Goals and the wording in Obama's s.2433. It's terrifying to think about. Read it here and follow the links to documentation.
So, how does Obama see our National Guard? I think I know the answer: The Guard is a part of the military he has long despised. The man wants his own Army!
Transcription of Obama's exact words below the video.
TRANSCRIPTION:
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We got to have a civilian national security force that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."

The Bamboo Shower Curtain
According to Wikipedia:
The Bamboo Curtain was the east Asian version of the Iron Curtain. It marked the border between the communist states of East Asia, especially the People's Republic of China during the Cold War, but excluding the eastern Soviet Union . . . The term "Bamboo Curtain" was used less often than the term "Iron Curtain" in part because while the latter remained relatively static for over 40 years, the former shifted constantly.Today we are encountering a new Marxist strategy that I call the “Bamboo Shower Curtain.”
