WHITE HOUSE INSIDER ISSUES WARNING – FALSE FLAG PLANNED FOR GOP CONVENTION?

by  on August 21, 2012 with 114 Comments in News
ULSTERMAN REPORT

Just received following message from Insider and, as requested, passing it on to all of you:

That Biden visit to Tampa got my wheels spinning.  What the hell are they up to?  How far is Biden willing to go to remain relevant?  To stay on the ticket?  So I put some feelers out to the WH.  Got lots of people willing to talk and share these days.
Here’s the deal.  Nobody has heard anything on that visit beyond it’s being planned.  SS had protocols in place only as recently as 72 hours ago.  So this thing wasn’t planned more than a week ago.  At the most.  That means the campaign is being damn tight lipped about it which is out of the ordinary for them.  Now that has me really thinking.  Something don’t sit right here.  Why send the #2 right down to the GOP convention?  What is the purpose?  Leak the trip, but don’t say anything substantial regarding the reason for the trip.  Just a publicity stunt?  An attempt at poking the eye of the Romney team?

That don’t add up for.  Not even close.  So I’m asking around some more. And I’m not the only one.  Nothing is coming back. Finally get a call into the Old Man.  Alert him to my concerns.  Within 30 minutes he gets back to me.  We got legit Intel from military source.  Nothing concrete.  Which got our source’s attention.  That is a big red alert.  This thing is being planned.  Staged.  Might be a handful of local law enforcement in on it.  Apparently a related communication from DHS within the last 24 hrs.   Union thugs.  Got to be a Jarrett Gerard initiated plan.  Something along those lines.
I’m giving you and your readers a heads up here.  False flag.  The real deal.  They will try and control it but make it look uncontrolled.  Dangerous.  Make it reflect poorly on the Republicans and their supporters.  A dangerous and desperate operation here.  Even a dimwit like Biden has to know how dangerous.
So have everyone you can reach, all your readers, let them know.  Obama operatives are attempting a set up here.  Dimes to dollars that’s what is going down.
Will update if more becomes available.  The Old Man is on it now.  Pushing heavy influence to deflect.  One or two secure media sources made aware.  The Romney people will be alerted, though they might have already been thinking along the same lines.  Trying to confirm that now.  If this thing is legit, we are going to try and shut it down within the next 48-72 hrs.  Won’t say more on that. 
If they do go operational on this next week,  you and your readers will know what it is and what it isn’t.  Hoping it don’t get that far, but these maniacs are getting so desperate now they are trying to pull it off. 
As promised, keeping you informed in a more timely manner.  I owe you that. 
Things moving very fast now kid.  Hang on.  This is gonna be the most terrifying, most interesting, and potentially gratifying time of your life.
Or, it all goes to shit????  We lose.  They win.
Welcome to my world.

_________________
My understanding of this warning from Insider points to the true intent of the visit to Tampa during the GOP Convention by Vice President Biden.  There will be a staged protest or something of that nature, intended to make Republicans look bad, and though not mentioned here by Insider, create sympathy for Joe Biden who has received a slew of bad press in recent weeks that is doing harm to the Obama campaign.
The protest is to be initiated by Obama operatives and/or forces sympathetic to the Obama campaign.  Insider is suggesting those forces believe they can control the environment to ensure the safety of those involved – while at the same time getting the intended media coverage images that will then be used to paint Republicans and conservatives as dangerous radicals.
If I learn from Insider my own interpretation is incorrect I will update accordingly.

UPDATE FROM INSIDER:  (late Tuesday, August 21, 2012)

Here is what I know to this point.  At least what I am comfortable sharing with you:


-Biden scheduled for event Monday prior to official opening of the GOP convention. 

-There is to be some form of altercation, protest, outbreak, etc.  Not sure on specifics.  Purpose is to make VP look sympathetic but more important, give media portrayal of “radical” conservatives a timely visual upon which to build that right through to Election Day. 
-Source relayed they confirmed whispers of this locally by some media in Tampa later this afternoon.  Biden’s arrival in Tampa already deemed “provocative” which will ensure significant media coverage.  The event/false flag will be used to overshadow the Monday convention ceremonies, as well as cast a shadow on convention for remainder of the week.
-Military source indicated this plan did NOT come from Chicago.  Axelrod is indicating surprise and uncertainty.  He has either become a much better actor or he had very little if anything to do with this.  Not that he isn’t capable.  Guy is an assh-le.  That means it is WH specific.  That means Jarrett, as I indicated earlier.  Where is Gerard? 
-What the Obama team is doing here is incredibly dangerous.  Country is at brink already. Just beneath the surface.  This kind of thing, if not totally controlled, could break out into an even more significant event.  Perhaps they want that outcome?????
-Tie this in with earlier reports regarding the ammunition purchases.  Originally I ignored your questions on that.  Last week it received my full attention.  It’s the real deal.  I am gonna add that you don’t do target practice with hollow point.  Those are designed for one thing and one thing only.  Let that sink in.  Why is the Obama government buying up this kind of ammo in such massive amounts?  Place those ammo purchases with their willingness to stage a confrontation such as what they intend this Monday.
-You are right when pointing to the fact this was leaked by SS.  Rest assured they probably gave the Romney details a heads up well before any of us did.  They will continue to do their job as they always do, but there is no love loss between that organization and the administration.  The backstory on that may come out after Obama has left office.  
-Military source warned this could be a well played head fake to try and expose leakers.  In my rush to get this to you I had not considered that. Rookie mistake.  I should have known better.  I’m still capable of losing my own ass in the dark.
That’s my attempt at humor, but this sh-t is absolutely serious.
As to your last question.  My recommendation is you stay away.  At this point none of us know how this thing is going to break.  Hopefully now that the word is out they will back off it.  But who knows.  So sit this one out.

-WHI

______________________
I would ask all those planning to attend the GOP Convention next week to please make certain you conduct yourself with dignity and care at ALL TIMES.     Do no allow yourself to be manipulated into becoming part of something manufactured by forces favorable to the Obama campaign.
May everyone who attends return home safely – including those we might disagree with politically.

Obama FOX NEWS scathing 'attack' video REMOVED FROM FOXNEWS.COM - management!

Radical Islam Joins the DNC

Starting at the end of this month the Democratic National Convention will open with a focus on Islam.  20,000 Muslims are expected to attend according to the Bureau of Indigenous Muslim Affairs (BIMA), the national Muslim American non-profit coordinating the two days of events they claim are non-political.  ”Jumah at the DNC” begins August 29 and will start with a Friday afternoon jummah prayer followed by other unnamed programs and events, leading up to the Islamic Regal Banquet. The following day will be an all day Islamic Cultural and Fun Fest which will include discussions on the topics of Islamaphobia, Anti-Shariah, Middle Eastern Crisis, Patriot Act, National Defense Authorization Act and more.  The purpose, according to BIMA, is to attract national and international attention to the plight of American Muslims and to hold political parties accountable for issues that affect them.  However, not all Muslims feel that BIMA represents them and M. Zuhdi Jasser M.D., Founder and President of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, has expressed serious concerns.
It is troubling that the Democratic National Convention has decided to promote and lend its name and national political platform to the organizers of the “Jummah at the DNC”. The leaders of this event – Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj as advertised are no moderates. They are radicals. These individuals embrace Islamist supremacy and have demonstrated support for radical ideologies.
A quick Google search by the DNC would have shown them that Hough and Wahhaj are leaders in the separatist American Islamist movement. While they may be able to get a few thousand Muslims to attend the event, they are NOT going to be mainstream Muslims.  Most will likely come from Hough and Wahhaj’s radical networks that have long been entrenched in the Charlotte area. Make no mistake they are part of the Islamist movement.
This is not about their right of assembly; this group under a different name pulled the same stunt at the US capitol in 2009 claiming 20k and getting 2-3k. THIS IS ABOUT the DNC calling this an “official function” listing these radicals as typical of the DNC community and more importantly about this organization speaking out AS representing supposedly typical American Muslims (or “Mainstream”).
If that is who the DNC is consorting with then all Americans, Democrats should be concerned. There are many patriotic Muslims who are part of both parties, and when radical ideologues like this do a demonstration of “solidarity” in the name of our faith and choose an imam like Siraj Wahhajwho I saw with my own eyes in 1995 seditiously say it his duty and our duty as Muslims to replace the US Constitution with the Quran- then we need to speak up!
Their jummah (group) prayer is supposedly against the Patriot Act, the NYPD, and Islamophobia and is actually NOT about our democracy but about empowering their Islamist and MB (Muslim Brotherhood) sympathetic groups into the very fabric of the political system so that Americans become anesthetized. We need American Muslims to speak up and marginalize these radicals. The DNC needs to understand and reject them because of their radical history and ideas.
They use our American Muslim identity to speak as “one community” as a political unit or as a “bloc vote” – a political Islamist party when in fact most us Muslims don’t want that political unity and seek reform against their ideology that seeks to hijack our community. They do not represent us. (emphasis mine)
In fact, Zuhdi Jasser is correct, Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahhaj have said and done radical things in their past.  Which means either the Democrats failed to utilize due diligence or they simply didn’t care.  In addition to the Muslims being misrepresented, Democrats and Charlotteans also have a right to know how the DNC has failed them before they even arrive in Charlotte.
Jibril Hough may be a name many in Charlotte are familiar with already.   He is the leader of a Sunni mosque, The Islamic Center of Charlotte, who is been known for being outspokenagainst Representative Sue Myrick – a North Carolina Republican member of the House Intelligence Committee.  Beyond calling her plan to fight against jihadist activity in America “a fear campaign” and the “new McCarthyism (or Myrickism)”, he confronted her in a Muslim Town Hall he organized in 2010.  According to Jasser, the language used by Hough as his Town Hall was strikingly similar to that of the Muslim Brotherhood when he stated, “As citizens of a non-Muslim country and as American Muslims, we have a contract with America and not a contract on America. This means that we must abide by the laws of this state and we cannot be at war with this state.”  As Jasser points out, “note the deep seeded separatism in this ‘we’ mindset. Basically he is saying that this system of laws is not his or the Muslims he represents but they will follow it-for now.”  Further, Hough commented on his support of laws that would mandate “Muslim” behaviors for American-Muslims, but wouldn’t affect nonMuslims; again Jasser notes Hough’s separatist tone that mimics political Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood mindset, which supports “separate legal paths for each faith” instead of “one law based in reason”.  Jibril has also stated he is the North Carolina head of the Islamic Political Party of America(IPPA), based in Charlotte, who in a 2002 press release claimed the Jews were behind 9/11.  As if that weren’t enough, IPPA is close to another organization known as Jamaat Al Muslimeen (JAM), The Islamic Peoples Movement, who (in addition to being Holocaust deniers) had this advice for President Obama:
He should ensure that those Muslims he talks to do represent authentic Islam. All Islamic movements oppose America’s policies. If Obama talks to Muslims who support America’s policies, it will be an exercise in futility.
In response to Hough accusing Rep. Myrick of being anti-Muslim, he was interviewed on the formerly conservative radio station WBT in Charlotte.  Radio host Keith Larson questioned him as to why his mosque was owned by The North American Islamic Trust (NAIT), an organization blacklisted by the U.S. Justice Department as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror finance case in U.S. history.  According to the government, NAIT is also a front for HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood in America.  Hough, when presented by Larson with the documents, claimed he didn’t realize his mosque was owned by NAIT and was also unaware that they had been blacklisted.  Hough went on in the interview to defend HAMAS and accuse the U.S. and Israel of the only “real” terrorism.
Imam Siraj Wahhaj is imam of a mosque in Brooklyn, New York, the leader of The Muslim Alliance in North America, a member of CAIR, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. As a character witness for Omar Abdel Rahman (the Blind Sheik) who was convicted of plotting to blow up the World Trade Center and other New York City landmarks, Wahhaj described him as a “respected scholar,” and “bold, as a strong preacher of Islam.”  Wahhaj is also a Board of Trustee member of theNorth American Imams Federation (NAIF)(who’s website currently features an anti-Jewish, anti-black rant), a Muslim Brotherhood front organization, who (coincidentally) held aconference in Charlotte last year on Islamophobia.  Like Hough, Wahhaj is also connected to NAIT by way of his membership in the Islamic Society of North America(ISNA), which was also found by the government to be a front for HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood.  While Hough has been careful to play politics in Charlotte, Wahhaj has not hidden his hatred for America.  He is quoted as calling America, “a garbage can… filthy, filthy and sick.”  As an imam, he has stated, “Where ever you came from, you came to America. And you came for one reason – for one reason only- to establish Allah’s deen (a complete way of life).”  He believes that the only reason to get involved in politics is to use it as a weapon in the cause of Islam.  By his own admission, the question of why Wahhaj would be interested in hosting events at the DNC is obvious.
How BIMA gained access to the DNC is more of a mystery.  Muhammad Heshaam Jaaber, the Executive Director, Jibril Hough, spokesman, and Captain James Yusuf Yee, BIMA National Representative for the DNC are the only publicly identified members and each one appears to be connected to U.S. Representative Keith Ellison; the first Muslim ever to be elected to Congress and a former supporter of Louis Farrakhan.  Ellison, who attended President Obama’s Iftar Dinner earlier this month, made thenews last month when Representative Michelle Bachmann called for him (among others) to be investigated for ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.  Whether or not he has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, Ellison is not far from them having associates within BIMA.  Jasser points out that Hough sought advice from Ellison before proceeding with his Town Hall with Rep. Myrick.  Captain Yee (who will be speaking at the event) appears in BIMA’s promotional video for Jumah at the DNC quoting Ellison as saying, “If you’re not at the table, then you’re on the menu.”  Yee is described by BIMA as “a chaplain in the U.S. Military” and an “eye witness to to the unjust treatment of military detainees and prisoners of Guantanamo Bay” who was allegedly detained “when he took steps to prevent the injustice.”  However, BIMA fails to mention that Yee was charged by the military with sedition, aiding the enemy, spying, espionage and failure to obey a general order; charges ultimately dropped due to national security concerns about releasing evidence in the case.  Also speaking will be Hassen Abdellah, who BIMA has no problem admitting was “a lead defense attorney for the 1993 First World Trade bombing suspects”  Ellison has also appeared alongside Wahhaj on many speaking engagements for organizations such as ISNA and NAIF, despite both organizations being fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood.  If Ellison is the link between BIMA and the DNC, then can it be said that, not only does he not mind the questionable associations of those within the organization, but also the other speakers they will be bringing in?
BIMA has stated they have smaller events planned for the Republican National Convention, however when reached out to, GOP convention staff said they have no knowledge of any events planned in or around Tampa at the time.  With the Democratic National Convention only a couple weeks away, it will be interesting to see if the media chooses to cover what one would assume to be a controversial start to renominate President Barack Obama.



Arming the Government Against Americans


WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2012

WARNING SIGNS


By Alan Caruba
The push to disarm Americans has been around a long time. An estimated ninety million Americans own guns legally and in states that permit concealed carry the crime rate drops precipitously by comparison with others that do everything they can to make the purchase and carry of firearms difficult. 

Gun ownership in America is the highest since 1993 with estimates of 300 million guns owned by citizens. Ownership crosses political party lines and other demographic cohorts. From its earliest days as a nation, the Founding Fathers were united in the need for an armed citizenry as a response to the potential tyranny of a government that might seek to impose its will on Americans through force.

The notion that one can keep criminals from acquiring firearms is idiotic. In cities like Chicago with laws that all but deny gun ownership, the murder rate is off the charts. By June, 228 residents of Chicago had been killed, compared to 44 troops in Afghanistan’s combat zones.

There’s a reason gun sales in America soared after the election of Barack Obama. Nobody except his brainwashed minions trust him. Over the past three and a half years he has issued more than 900 Executive Orders, many of which grant him and the federal government extraordinary control over all aspects of life for Americans. The hallmark of every totalitarian regime is gun control, the disarming of citizens.

This is, after all, a President who disparaged Americans who he said, “cling to their religion and their guns.” 

As columnist, Chuck Baldwin wrote in 2007, “One thing the national news media will always ignore is the practice of lawful self-defense. For example, most people are probably not aware of the fact that American citizens use a firearm to defend themselves more than 2.4 million times every year. That is more than 6,500 times every day.”

“This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. Furthermore, of the 2.4 million self-defense cases, more than 192,000 are by women defending themselves against sexual assault. And in less than eight percent of those occasions is a shot actually fired. The vast majority of the time (92%), the mere presence of a firearm helps to avert a major crime from occurring.”

Why then is the Obama administration in the process of purchasing millions of bullets for agencies, some of whom have nothing to do with national defense? 

In May I wrote about an Ashville, North Carolina citizen who wrote a letter to the Environmental Protection Agency inquiring about the address of an employee who gained overnight fame when it was reported he wanted to “crucify” oil companies. Two EPA agents, fully armed, showed up without notice at his front door. 

Why does the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration need to purchase ammunition? NOAA is devoted to studying the weather and providing notice of events such as hurricanes. Why would meteorologists need to be armed?

Why does the Social Security Administration need to purchase ammunition? A spokesman for the SSA compared its investigators to state or local police officers who are armed while on “official duty.” 

Why would the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) specifically purchase 750 million rounds of hollow-point ammunition in March and follow up with an additional 750 million? In a recent article in AmericanThinker.com, retiredMajor General Jerry Curry noted in The Daily Caller, “This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen.” The article asked whether Obama would seek to hold onto power “by any means possible.”

Granted that DHS is charged with protecting the homeland, but is there any indication that the nation is under threat of an invasion and, if so, isn’t it the job of the U.S. military to respond to such a threat? 

Or perhaps the answer is the belief within the Obama administration that it might face a massive insurrection if it tried to take over the nation by delaying the November elections or imposing martial law as the result of a contrived national threat?

A recent issue of Small Arms Journal contained an article titled “Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A ‘Vision’ of the Future.” It game-played in full operational detail how the Army would put down a local Tea Party insurrection. Does anyone except those inside the Obama administration believe that the Tea Party would ever engage in such an effort?

This is the same administration actively trying to suppress a Congressional investigation into operation “Fast and Furious” that encouraged the transmittal of firearms to Mexican drug cartels, allegedly to track them, but instead some were used to kill a U.S. Border Patrol agent. So guns for the cartels are okay, but guns for law-abiding Americans are not. The Attorney General has been held in contempt of Congress for his failure to be forthcoming in the investigation. 

The massive purchase of ammunition by agencies that have little or no relationship to the nation’s security raises questions and concerns that cannot be dismissed or ignored. They are apiece with a variety of all actions the Obama administration has taken that suggest the suppression by force of any response Americans might take if they believed it intended to impose a dictatorship.

Memories by Bee Sting

Memories of our Wedding -- Nov. 16, 1963
My beloved husband, William
Oct. 7, 1936 - August 24, 2010

Memories ....

This Friday, August 24th, marks the Second Anniversary since my beloved partner and best friend shut his eyes and began a new journey - to a home where there is no more pain or sorrow. 

I remember a young man with dark hair and hazel eyes who melted my heart years ago.  We shared a life together for almost 47 years, raised four children and were privileged to see ten grandchildren grow into beautiful young men and women.  

Bill loved gardening and landscaping and oh, how he could grow the most beautiful flower gardens!  There is a young Canadian pine tree growing outside my window that he planted 5 years ago - it has grown from 3 feet to now 6 feet tall.  Every where I walk in my yard, there are beautiful memories of Bill.

It has only been two years, but something I would like to share with you is that with time, all our disappointments fade and only the happy memories remain within my heart and soul and that, I believe, is the grace God gives each of us to lessen the sorrow of losing our loved one.

I am who I am today mostly because of the man who shared his love with me.  We grew so much alike that we could finish each other's sentences.  I see his smile in the smiles of our grandsons.  I see his kindness in his own sons and I am blessed.  

Bill was the one who encouraged me to begin blogging - and so, it gives me an opportunity to share our love for each other each year, with my readers.

There is a music video I have on the sidebar that reminds me of Bill during the days when we were young and danced in one of Boston's great ballrooms.  I play "Love you every second" and it always brings a smile within my heart, remembering days that now seem to have passed all too quickly and even though Bill is no longer with me, it is true, I continue to love him "every second".

Justice at Last for "Portugese Dreyfus", Artur de Barros Basto


Europe is in the thralls of the worst anti-Semitism since the 1930s.
 Every day brings new desecrations, new attacks, new instances of
 European governments caving in to anti-Jewish demands.

It took 75 years,but finally at the end of July 2012 an act of grave injustice and anti-Semitism has been corrected.

Artur de Barros Basto
Artur de Barros Basto
INN: Lopez
It took 75 years, but finally, at the end of July 2012, an act of grave injusticeand anti-Semitism has been corrected.
More than 50 years after his death in 1961, the founder of the Jewish community in Porto, Artur Carlos de Barros Basto, was posthumously reinstated into the Army in a unanimous decision by the Portuguese parliament.
This ends the decade long campaign for his rehabilitation, which had been undertaken mainly by his relatives.
“This means the end to a struggle that had been pursued by my grandfather, my grandmother, my mother and myself”, the granddaughter of Barros Basto and vice-president of the Jewish community in Porto, Isabel Ferreira Lopes, told Arutz Sheva. She went on to emphasize that the privations and sufferings of her grandfather were now officially recognized and therefore "not completely meaningless".
Barros Basto is called the “Portuguese Dreyfus”.after French General Staff officer Alfred Dreyfus, a Jew who was wrongly accused and convicted of treason in 1894 due to anti-Semitism.
 In 1937, decorated World War I veteran Barros Baslo was convicted, sentenced by a Portuguese military court and expelled from the army.
The trumped up allegations were that he had performed circumcisions and maintained amorous relationships with male students. The ruling was based only on denunciation, hearsay and resentments.
The real reason was that Barros Basto was no longer willing to practice his faith in secret the way his forefathers, the so called crypto-Jews, had done in order to survive.
He was a proud Jew and helped to build the largest synagogue on the Iberian Peninsula and the first yeshiva in 500 years. This, of course, was unthinkable in a country ruled by a fascist dictatorship with close ties to the Catholic Church.
The dishonorable discharge broke Barros Basto mentally, physically and financially. Only he and his family fought this act of anti-Semitism. There was no Portuguese Émile Zola, as there was in Dreyfus' day, who would publicly denounce the injustice. Even after the fall of the dictatorship in 1974, the family was not able to get a retrial.
The reinstatement is mainly due to the efforts  of Isabel Ferreira Lopes, who worked tirelessly in recent years to restore the honor of her grandfather. Lopes was supported by the Israeli organization Shavei Israel, headed by Michael Freund,  which is devoted to finding and aiding so-called “Lost Jews” all over the world.
In the case of Barros Basto, Shavei Israel published an online petition, using new electronic media opportunities and thereby making a strong public case for rehabilitation.
The American Anti-Defamation League also called for a rehabilitation of de Barros Basto, and ultimately Lopes managed to win over important Portuguese political and judicial personalities, and a team of lawyers who would fight for rehabilitation.
The result of this campaign was that in February 2012 a parliamentary commission unanimously adopted a report which recognized the anti-Semitic background of the ruling and called for a rehabilitation of de Barros Basto.
And at the end of July, the Portuguese Parliament finally followed the advice and officially reinstated de Barros Basto, 51 years after his death.
With the rehabilitation. a dark chapter of recent Portuguese history is closed. Now, Isabel Lopes and the Jewish community in Porto can turn to the future.

The writer is a doctoral candidate in philosophy, witing on the Jewish-American philospher Horace M. Kallen. He is a frequent contributor to the German blog "Die Achse des Guten" (www.achgut.com) and to Arutz Sheva. The picture of  Basto was sent to Arutz Sheva by his granddaughter.

Bee's Note:
It is difficult to comprehend something like this happening today.  Note that one of the "criminal" accusations against Artur de Barros Basto was that he has performed circumcisions.  Now, read the following: German Rabbi Sued for Performing Circumcision,  also printed in Arutz Sheva - dated August 22, 2012. 
Sound familiar?  
Anti-Semitism is alive and deeply-rooted throughout Europe and a growing concern within these United States.  If you doubt my word, check out the organizations on campus - organizations and groups against American Jews.  
Is this administration's actions towards the Israelis and its leaders considered Israeli-friendly and one that would truly support Israel in its time of need? I believe that oftentimes citizens are only as good as its leaders and our leaders in Washington are found "wanting" when it comes to our ally, Israel.  
One bright hope is the fact that Governor Romney has visited Israel (unlike Obama) and openly declares Jerusalem, the City of David, as Israel's capital.  If Romney is elected our next President, I look forward to better relations between Israel and the United States - and may the world follow in those footsteps.

Will Obama Keep Power 'by Any Means Necessary'?


August 21, 2012

AMERICAN THINKER

By Stella Paul
Let's go there: if Obama thinks he's losing, will he allow safe and fair elections on November 6?  And if he does lose, will he peacefully turn over power to Mitt Romney on January 20, 2013?  Or will he cling to power "by any means necessary," as a highly placed insider alleges?
Now, I'm truly sorry to raise such disgusting, un-American, crazy-sounding questions, but, alas, they're not crazy, and I've got a disquieting amount of evidence.  The Democrats have already accused Romney of murdering a woman with cancer, financial felonies, and not filing taxes for ten years -- the last charge delivered by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on the Senate floor, on the basis of absolutely no evidence whatsoever.
By Democrat standards, I've got enough proof to put away Obama, et al. for life without parole.
Whatever chicanery Obama and his investors may be contemplating, it will probably unfold against some gargantuan crisis, manufactured or otherwise.  So cast your mind back to September 11, 2001, the day of the New York mayoral primary. 
In the chaos after the attacks, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who was term-limited from running, pleaded that his leadership was essential and that he should be granted an extra three months in office after his term ran out on January 1.  Giuliani's unprecedented power-grab was rightfully scorned by his eventual successor, Michael Bloomberg.  So what did Bloomberg do when he ran into term limits?  He deployed his multi-billion-dollar fortune to manipulate the law and buy himself a quasi-legal third term, claiming that only he had the expertise to handle the 2008 financial crisis.
My point?  Politicians a great deal more conventional than Obama have loathed giving up power, and they have used crises and unethical machinations to try to keep it.
Now, let's look at just some of the disturbing evidence that indicates that Obama and his investors are plotting something big:
Super-High-Level Trial Balloons
USA Today reported that on September 27, 2011, Governor Beverly Perdue, Democrat of North Carolina, told a Rotary Club audience, "I think we ought to suspend, perhaps, elections for Congress for two years and just tell them we won't hold it against them, whatever decisions they make, to just let them help this country recover[.] ... You want people who don't worry about the next election."  When outrage greeted her suggestion, she retreated to the standard defense: she was just joking.  What a kidder!
Meanwhile, that same month, Peter Orszag, Obama's former director of the Office of Management and Budget, published an article in The New Republic titled "Too Much of A Good Thing: Why We Need Less Democracy."  In it, he posited that the country was too polarized; hence, "radical as it sounds, we need to counter the gridlock of our political institutions by making them a bit less democratic."
Please note that these suggestions to suspend elections and radically reduce democratic control did not come from basement-dwelling bloggers.  They came from the governor of the very state in which the Democrats are holding their national convention and from one of Obama's most prominent Cabinet members.  Their close timing suggests that these ideas were circulating at the highest levels of the Democrat power elite.
"Whom Does the Government Intend to Shoot?"
That's the question recently posed by retired Major General Jerry Curry in the Daily Caller, in light of horrifying reports that the Social Security Administration is buying 174,000 rounds of hollow-point bullets for distribution to 41 locations in the U.S.
According to Major General Curry, Social Security's ammo spree follows the purchase by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of 46,000 rounds of hollow-point ammunition.  Will they be shooting fish in a barrel?
Most terrifying of all, Major General Curry reports that the Department of Homeland Security ordered 750 million rounds of hollow-point ammunition in March, then subsequently ordered an additional 750 million rounds, including bullets capable of penetrating walls.
"This is enough ammunition to empty five rounds into the body of every living American citizen," writes Major General Curry, who wonders what plan might require "so many dead Americans."
I strongly suggest that you read Major General Curry's article for yourself, so you can appreciate the full horror of what he describes.  After pointing out that Congress has done nothing to investigate these weapon purchases, Major General Curry, a 40-year veteran, concludes with these chilling words:
This is a deadly serious business. I hope I'm wrong, but something smells rotten. And If the Congress isn't going to do its duty and investigate this matter fully, the military will have to protect the Constitution, the nation, and our citizens.
900-plus Executive Orders
Obama may not be fond of governing, but he certainly does enjoy issuing executive orders -- more than 900 so far.  As American Thinker's Warren Beatty points out, these little-reported edicts reveal an all-too-predictable pattern: concentrating all national power and resources in Obama's hands, in case of "emergency."
So far, Obama has granted himself the right to control all transportation, including highways, airports, seaports, and railroads, and all modes of communication, storage facilities, electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.
Not so coincidentally, he's also given himself the right to control you.  Executive Orders 11002, 11000, and 11004, respectively, give government the right to register all persons, assign them to work brigades, and relocate them.
Should you resist your work brigade assignment or relocation orders, rest assured that the U.S. government is now well supplied with bullets.
Openly War-Gaming against American Citizens
A recent issue of the well-respected Small Wars Journal featured an article titled "Full Spectrum Operations in the Homeland: A 'Vision' of the Future."  Written by retired Army Col. Kevin Benson of the Army's University of Foreign Military and Jennifer Weber, a Civil War expert, the article helpfully game-played, in full operational detail, how the Army would destroy a local Tea Party insurrection.
The authors claim that should Tea Party rebels take over a City Hall, "Americans will expect the military to execute without pause and as professionally as if it were acting overseas"; therefore, "the Army cannot disappoint the American people, especially in such a moment."
The brazenness of this scheme for the U.S. military to kill Americans created a small, temporary stir.  The Washington Times editorialized, "This is a dark, pessimistic and wrongheaded view of what military leaders should spend their time studying."  The Washington Times also noted:
A professor at the Joint Forces Staff College was relieved of duty in June for uttering the heresy that the United States is at war with Islam. The Obama administration contended the professor had to be relieved because what he was teaching was not U.S. policy. Because there is no disclaimer attached to the Small Wars piece, it is fair to ask, at least in Col. Benson's case, whether his views reflect official policy regarding the use of U.S. military force against American citizens.
Active Partnership with America's Foreign Enemies
Many spectacles have enlivened presidential elections over the years, but 2012 marks the first time that high-level military personnel have felt compelled to publicly tell the president to stop leaking national security secrets.
A group of former U.S. intelligence and Special Forces operatives created a 22-minute video, "Dishonorable Disclosures," to shame Obama into shutting up about priceless intelligence related to bin Laden's death, British-Saudi penetration of al-Qaeda, and the Israeli-American Stuxnet virus attack on Iran's nuclear program.
Normally, presidents don't want to endanger American citizens and military personnel by leaking top-secret information -- but aiding and abetting the enemy is apparently all in a day's work for Obama.
And so, if he wants to stir up trouble before the election, either at home or abroad, he'll have plenty of enemy partners to help.  First, he's got the Russians, to whose president he was caught whispering on a hot mic about missile defense, "This is my last election[.] ... After my election, I have more flexibility."
Second, Obama is this close to the Muslim Brotherhood, who are world-class experts on unleashing political violence.  Obama helped the Muslim Brotherhood ascend to power in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, and Libya, and he's placed its operatives in the highest levels of the American government.  Surely, such clever characters as Huma Abedin, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff, and Mohamed Elibiary, a Homeland Security Advisory committee member, can be trusted to think up some exciting turmoil to apply where needed.
And finally, close to home, Obama can rely on the Sinaloa drug cartel in Mexico, whom he supplied with thousands of guns.  Gratefully, they used their American taxpayer-funded AK-47s to wipe out rival drug gangs and to murder Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.  Attorney General Eric Holder is presently in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents on Operation Fast and Furious, and Obama ("President Transparency") has claimed executive privilege to withhold them.
Sending hordes of expensively armed drug gang members across our border should be a snap, now that Obama has crippled our Border Patrol.  Just think of all the headline-grabbing distractions these energetic young men can unleash!
Active Partnership with Domestic Criminal Groups
When Louis Farrakhan met Ahmadinejad: now there's a romance made in the bowels of hell.  Toss in the head of the New Black Panthers and fifty radical imams, and you've got the "Beast Axis" that was forged in a Manhattan hotel on September 27, 2010, according to The Blaze.
New Black Panther Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz boasted on Black Panther Radio that he "stands on solid ideological ground" with "His Excellency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad," who understands "the dynamics and the politics of world revolution."
Apparently, Obama approves of these antics, because his attorney general, Eric Holder, dropped charges against the New Black Panthers, even though they were caught on tape allegedly intimidating Philadelphia voters in the 2008 elections.  Naturally, Holder's Department of Justice then lied about its actions, covering up its political motivations.
Holder specifically protected King Samir Shabazz, who now serves as national field marshal for the New Black Panthers.  Shabazz spearheads the Panthers' ambitious new plan to "create inner city militaries that would go into nurseries and kill white babies and murder white people in the street."
Let's hope this "inner city military" is not what candidate Obama mysteriously referred to in 2008 when he pledged, "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set.  We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Imagine, for one monstrous moment, the destructive potential of this burgeoning alliance between the Obama-protected New Black Panthers, Obama's old Chicago associate Louis Farrakhan, and the genocidally obsessed Ahmadinejad.  If your blood didn't run cold, you weren't imagining hard enough.
A Tsunami of Voter Fraud
On June 15, 2012, Obama bypassed Congress and issued de facto amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.  Suddenly, whole new vistas of voter fraud opened up to the Democrats.  Admittedly, they've got to ramp up quickly for November, but this gang should prove up to the challenge.
Helping matters along, Holder is busy suing states that require photo ID to vote and attempting to disenfranchise the military.  Together, these well-coordinated efforts should provide Obama with the means to pull off staggering amounts of voter fraud.
"By Any Means Necessary"
If all else fails, Obama and his investors may be prepared to keep power "By Any Means Necessary."  This information comes from an uncannily predictive website called The Ulsterman Report.  Those who have followed its fascinating interviews over the last couple of years with two anonymous sources, Wall Street Insider and White House Insider, have seen its scoops confirmed again and again. 
Well over a year ahead of any other media, The Ulsterman Report was informing readers that Valerie Jarrett ran the White House and that Obama was strangely disengaged from the actual tasks of governing.  It predicted the emergence of obscure figures -- Kamala D. Harris, who's now attorney general of California, and her brother-in-law, Tony West, the newly named acting associate attorney general at the Department of Justice, who's being groomed as Holder's successor.
Most crucially, shortly after the bin Laden operation, the Ulsterman Report revealed that Valerie Jarrett had canceled three previous bin Laden raids.  That information now has been confirmed by Richard Miniter in his bookLeading from Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors Who Decide for Him.
Recently, a source known as Military Insider (MI) met with Ulsterman (UM) at the urging of Wall Street Insider (WSI) to issue a warning.  A section of their conversation follows below:
MI: Approximately two years ago...not quite two years ago...I received information pertaining to an election contingency plan.  For 2012.  After the 2010 elections there were particular operatives...specific to the Obama administration and Democratic Party leadership...indicating an overwhelming need to secure a second term for President Obama.  That document's title was...(pauses)
WSI: He can be trusted - I give you my word.  Please proceed.
MI: That document's title was "By Any Means Necessary".  It was unofficial - but we know it came directly from channels specific to the administration.  We confirmed that.
UM: What channels?  Who are you talking about?
MI: We believe it to have been authored by Mr. Sunstein.  Reviewed and approved by Valerie Jarrett.  Preparations for implementation are being done in part by Mr. Leo Gerard coordinating with...with high ranking officials within the Department of Justice, Homeland Security...and...the U.S. military.
We could dismiss the anonymous Military Insider's warning as overheated, unsourced hysteria.  Or we could examine it as one more piece of evidence to place alongside all the evidence I've described above.
The greatest asset of Obama and his investors has been their warp-speed audacity.  We're too stunned to believe what's happening in front of our eyes, and too embarrassed to mention it.  Who wants to speak up and be ridiculed as an unhinged paranoid, marching with the tinfoil hat brigade?
But our best bet -- perhaps our only bet -- is to frankly confront this ugly reality.  As Iran prepares to go nuclear and the global economy teeters, any number of "national emergencies" can suddenly erupt, demanding unprecedented measures by Obama to "save" us.  We must be prepared with skepticism, outrage, and defiance of any actions to deprive us of our Constitutional rights.
America remains the last best hope on earth.  And We the People must keep our power, by any means necessary.
