There’s no nice way to say this, Barack Obama is a traitor period.  He has committed treason against America and Americans – it’s time to remove him from our White House.

For those who are fortunate enough to have jobs it appears that many of  you don’t know where your hard earned money is going or you are hiding under a rock or burying your head in the sand pretending things will get better.

Here’s the writing on the wall and it’s pretty simple and easy to understand.  Obama was prepped for his job and is under the control of Communists, Marxists and other extremists.  Daily he is given his marching orders and since 2009 he has not missed a beat!

Five things Americans need to know:

1.   Obama was instructed to financially disarm us and that is what he has been doing since January 2009. He’s redistributed 787 billion dollars of your money to his big bundlers, banks, GM, green companies, Fannie, Freddie, AIG, the Unions and special interest groups. Since January 2009, he’s increased our National Deficit by 5 trillion and we’ve lost our Triple A credit rating. +

2,  Obama instructed EPA to shut down businesses via extreme regulations that intentionally designed to stop our economic growth. Obamacare was but one more evil device to cripple all Americans and businesses.

3.  Obama was given implicit orders to fund the Muslim Brotherhood which he’s done in many Middle East Countries like Libya, Egypt and the latest is just last week Afghanistan. We are paying the terrorists to kill us!

4.  Obama’s Czars are all Communists, Marxists and Rothschild Zionists and his immediate Administration isn’t any better.  David Axelrod, Valarie Jarrett, Eric Holder and more are harming our Nation.

5.  Obama is lying about the unemployment figures, the money DOE gave to Solyndra , Sun Power and other green companies they were set up to pay off his big bundlers and backers.  Obama lied about the Fast and Furious gunrunner operation (he funded it and gave Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano orders to implement it, which allowed weapons from the USA to walk across the border into Mexico into the hands of the drug cartel. Go to the DOJ website if you don’t believe this information – find out for yourselves, do your homework.

Books will be written about Obama’s intentional treason against the United States of America. We are being controlled – not in control.

If we continue to sit like dummies and let him destroy our Country than we not only will become another Greece, our children and grandchildren will be literally destroyed, for their freedoms and rights will be non existent.

We must take back our Government now – we must freeze all spending, demand a balanced budget, secure our borders, support our Military and return to the most powerful roadmap (our Constitution) given to us by our forefathers.

This is a matter of life and death – either fight for your Country or submits to the control of terrorists for we are at war and they are on our turf as we speak.

 May God Bless America

Warren Weinstein, American Kidnapped in Pakistan, Pleads With Obama to Save His Life

US Hostage Held by al-Qaida Accuses President of 'Not Caring' About His Predicament

By Luiza Oleszczuk , Christian Post Reporter

May 7, 2012|11:21 am

Al-Qaida released a video Sunday showing 70-year-old U.S. citizen Warren Weinstein, kidnapped in Pakistan last year, pleading to President Barack Obama to break the U.S. rule of not negotiating with terrorists and save his life by meeting the kidnappers' demands.  Weinstein, a contractor for Virginia-based consulting firm J.E. Austin Associates Inc., made a personalized plea to the president in a video available online. (Note: You Tube removed video).

"My life is in your hands, Mr. President," the kidnapped contractor said in the video. "If you accept the demands, I live. If you don't accept the demands, then I die. It's important that you accept the demands and act quickly and don't delay."  Weinstein referenced the president's two daughters in a personal appeal. He then accused Obama of not acting in his case.

"I get the feeling that you are not paying any attention or care about my problem, or my needs; and you're not paying attention and you don't give much importance to my situation," he said in the video. "I'm an American citizen," Weinstein said, emphasizing that he had worked in public service for the U.S. government, including for the humanitarian agency USAID and Peace Corp. So I've done a lot of service for my country, and I would hope that my country will now look after me and take care of me and meet the demands of the mujahedeen."

It was not immediately clear how much of the speech was scripted by al-Qaida.

The terror group's demands, which Weinstein described in the video as "not difficult" and "in accordance with the Islamic law," include the release of all prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, the release of anyone arrested on charges of belonging to al-Qaida and the Taliban, and the release of terrorists convicted in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, according to CNN. Other demands include lifting of the blockade on movement of people and trade between Egypt and Gaza, an end to bombing by the United States and its allies in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Somalia and Gaza and the release of relatives of Osama bin Laden.

"Al-Qaida's demands are not reasonable at all," Ryan Mauro, national security analyst at RadicalIslam.org, told The Christian Post, adding that the terrorists surely made Weinstein describe these demands as "easy," against all logic. "They [al-Qaida] set the bar so high that it can't realistically expect the U.S. to contemplate giving in."

Traditionally, the U.S. is known to practice a policy of not negotiating with terrorists.

Mauro adds that it is very little likely the U.S. would engage in negotiations, given that it would be very unreasonable.

"Al-Qaeda would be politically impossible and a waste of time. If the U.S. gives in to any of Al-Qaeda's demands, it only vindicates their methods and guarantees further kidnappings," he told CP via email Monday. The terror group is looking to make a "splash" to show its presence one year after bin Laden, its leader, was killed by the U.S. forces, the analyst adds. "The U.S. says Al-Qaeda is near defeat and the terrorist group is under immense pressure to show that it is still effective," Mauro told CP.  "Sadly, I do think al-Qaida will execute Weinstein if we can't rescue him. For al-Qaida, this isn't really about negotiations. It's about getting attention and reassuring its supporters that it isn't on its death bed," he added.

Mauro addressed the kidnapping in December in an article for Family Security Matters, a conservative think. He wrote at the time: "The first thing the U.S. must do is inform Pakistan that it will be held responsible for Weinstein's fate. This would not have happened if Pakistan lived up to the same responsibilities that all of the world's countries are expected to." (Note: photo of Ayman al-Zawahri with Osama bin Laden)

Weinstein was abducted with the use of violence by a group of armed terrorists in August of 2011 from his home in Lahore, Pakistan, according to CNN. In December, al-Qaida claimed responsibility for his capture."The U.S. won't negotiate with al-Qaida, but the Pakistani government will if it is under enough pressure," Mauro told CP via email Monday."Should it fail to do so, Pakistan should receive just as much blame as al-Qaida and the Taliban," he wrote in the article in December. "There are specific, long overdue punishments that Pakistan must face if Weinstein's life is lost."In addition, the United States should "use the kidnapping to embarrass al-Qaida and the Taliban and to stop them from using it to try to appear strong," Mauro wrote. He added, "Muslim governments that covet their ties to the U.S. should be asked to pressure their imams to condemn the act" because Weinstein is not an enemy combatant and "even some anti-American Islamists will view his kidnapping as uncalled for."

Bee's note: 

 Yesterday, throughout the day, Fox News reported almost hourly on Weinstein's capture and the latest video.  However, it is not the policy of Fox to show the video and the video has since been removed from You Tube.  I do remember the video of Daniel Pearl, the journalist beheaded by al-Qaida and it was so devastating, so horrific and sickening, it clearly demonstrated the evil behind Islamic terrorism.  All Islamic terrorists groups have proven they cannot live in modern society and deserve to be eliminated where ever they step foot!  

How foolish for anyone in our own administration to pretend and give false information that the "War on Terror" is over!  

And how foolish (actually outrageous) to hear President Obama and the Secretary of State continually claim that it is in the best interests of the United States to give BILLIONS of DOLLARS to any country harboring these terrorists, and to terrorists organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and the Palestinian (PLO) organization, united with Hamas terrorism.  A better word would be insane for Congress to allow the gifting of taxpayer monies to go towards the upkeep and supplying of America's enemies.  Such actions demonstrate that this world has gone completely mad!

Breaking: Israel gets unity government

 FRESNO ZIONISM ... posted on Monday, May 7th, 2012 at 9:32 pm

Shaul Mofaz, during his term as Chief of Staff (1998-2002)

YNet reports:

No elections, Kadima joins government: In a dramatic move, the Likud and Kadima parties agreed on a unity government early Tuesday, averting the prospect of early elections.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Kadima Chairman Shaul Mofaz finalized the surprising unity agreement hours before the Knesset was expected to approve its own dissolution and set September 4th as the date of the next elections.
PM Netanyahu announced that Kadima’s Mofaz will be appointed deputy PM and minister without portfolio, while also being included in Israel’s security cabinet.

Shaul Mofaz, born in Tehran, came to Israel in 1957 and participated in all of Israel’s wars since 1967 (including the Entebbe raid). As chief of staff from 1998-2002 he was noted for the tough response to the Second Intifada, Operation Defensive Shield, in which Israel pacified Judea/Samaria. He recently defeated Tzipi Livni for the leadership of Kadima, the party which currently holds the largest number of seats in the Knesset (28), one more than Netanyahu’s Likud.

In the normal course of events elections would have been held in 2013. Netanyahu called for early elections to be held this September for multiple reasons. One of them may be that he doesn’t want a repeat of the election of 1999, when he lost a close race for a second term to Labor’s Ehud Barak, who received overt and covert support from the Clinton Administration. By getting the elections out of the way when the Obama Administration will be busy with its own election, Netanyahu would then be in a stronger position to face a hostile second-term Obama, should he be reelected.

But both Netanyahu and Mofaz (whose Kadima party is polling very, very poorly) are beginning to worry about the rise of a “non-ideological” party led by Yair Lapid, a former TV news anchor. The present coalition is also struggling to find an acceptable solution to the issue of military service for Haredim (“ultra-Orthodox” Jews); the new coalition agreement stipulates that a bill on this subject will be presented shortly. There are also agreements on budgetary issues. Finally, I think Netanyahu would like to add Mofaz, with his considerable military expertise, to the Security Cabinet.

Is there a connection to a possible strike on Iran? It seems that if there is to be such a strike, it will be before the US elections, while Obama is constrained from acting strongly against Israel. A unity government, which would give Netanyahu a massive 96 Knesset seats out of 120, would certainly clear the decks for action. New elections in September, on the other hand, carry a burden of uncertainty, even though Netanyahu’s Likud party is leading by a large amount in the polls. In any event they would be disruptive.

Mofaz has made public statements that Israel should let the US take the lead in dealing with Iran. But he has not been as aggressive in his criticism of the PM and Defense Minister’s purported plans as, for example, former Mossad head Meir Dagan and former Shabak boss Yuval Diskin.

There is reason to be distrustful of international efforts led by the US to deal with the Iranian nuclear program. For example, Amos Yadlin and Yoel Guzansky write,

An additional round of talks between the P5+1 and Iran about the nuclear issue is due to take place in Baghdad in May. Despite a decade of unproductive dialogue, it is important to both sides that negotiations take place: Iran seeks to prevent even harsher sanctions, while President Obama wishes to postpone difficult decisions at least until after the presidential elections. Both parties want to prevent an Israeli strike…
A bad deal, one that the Iranians are likely to offer and that the international community would be tempted to accept, would include explicit legitimacy for Iran enriching uranium on its soil up to the 5 percent level but would not include removal of most of the already-enriched uranium from within Iran’s borders. The bad deal also would include not limiting the number or type of centrifuges and enrichment sites. Iran then would be able to continue securing its sites in a way that would make damaging them much harder than it is at present. With such a deal, Iran would be able to improve its chances of breaking out toward nuclear weapons in a relatively short time after making the decision to do so…
Israel would find it hard to live with a situation in which Iran could at any moment decide to break out toward rapid nuclear-weapons manufacturing thanks to an extensive nuclear infrastructure and a significant amount of enriched uranium. However, international recognition of the legitimacy of Iran’s nuclear capabilities would place Israel in a strategic dilemma. It would be difficult for Israel to justify any offensive move against these capabilities without support from America or important elements of the international community. [my emphasis]

The problem for Israel, then, is not only — as Defense Minister Ehud Barak has warned — that Iran might reach a “zone of [physical] immunity” in which its nuclear facilities are sufficiently hardened that an Israeli attack would not be effective. There is also a zone of politicalimmunity which would be created by Yadlin and Guzansky’s “bad deal,” one which will remove support from Israel without ending the Iranian nuclear threat.

One can’t minimize the importance of the domestic political considerations behind the decision to form a unity government and cancel early elections. On the other hand, I think that the development makes it more likely that Israel will bomb Iranian nuclear facilities before November 6, 2012.

Thousands of French Jews Consider Aliyah

THE JEWISH PRESS

By: Jewish Press Staff Reporter

Published: May 7th, 2012

Francois Hollande's victory is sending many Jews packing.

Some 5,000 French Jews participated in an aliyah fair in Paris.  The fair, organized and run by the Jewish Agency, took place Sunday as French voters went to the polls and elected Francois Hollande as their new president, beating incumbent Nicolas Sarkozy, considered the favored choice in the Jewish community.

“I cannot recall having seen such a massive number of people interested in aliyah since the days when lines of people stretched out of the Israeli embassy in Moscow,” said Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky, who attended the fair. The annual fair usually attracts about 2,000 visitors, according to the Jewish Agency.

A new survey conducted in March, of the 500,000-member French Jewish community, the second largest in the Diaspora, found that French Jews have grown so disgusted with anti-Semitism that more than one quarter of them are considering emigrating.

The poll was conducted by The Israel Project, which previously measured American attitudes about Jews and Israel in order to produce pro-Israel ads.  According to the poll, 26 percent of those surveyed said they have considered emigrating due to worsening French anti-Semitism.

Of them, 13 percent are “seriously” considering leaving, according to Washington pollster Stan Greenberg, who led the surveys and focus groups.

The mood among French Jews is like a “severe depression,” said Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi, a founder of The Israel Project.

According to Ynet, official results show that 92.8% of French nationals residing in Israel (9,186) voted for Sarkozy.

The fair in Paris came on the heels of an attack on a Jewish school in Toulouse in which a rabbi and his two young sons and the daughter of the head of the school were killed.  In a visit Monday to Toulouse, Sharansky said the Jewish Agency and the Israel Trauma Coalition will send counselors to the Ozar Hatorah school from Israel in the coming days, followed by a delegation of Israeli youth counselors. The professionals are charged with helping the students and their parents, as well as the teaching staff, return to their normal routine following the March attack.

“I came to Toulouse in order to strengthen the children and the community, but also to remind them that the Jewish Agency will strengthen their connection to Israel and assist those who are interested in making aliyah,” said Sharansky, though he added that aliyah should not be based solely on a tragedy like the one in Toulouse.

JTA reports were used in this article.

Bee's Note:  This year is the year of  "open mics" and as I watch the elections in France and Sarkozy's loss, I think back to the day when he was speaking to President Obama - remember?  Unfortunately, the "leaders" were not aware that their mics were "open" and to their embarrassment, both men spoke freely of their intense dislike of Prime Minister Netanyahu.  Sarkozy called Bibi a "liar".  Now, he will no longer have to be concerned about Israel and the Prime Minister, and somehow I can't help but think that the French citizens will regret the day they chose their new socialist leader Francois Hollande'.

As for President Obama, do you remember his reply to Sarkozy?  Obama is quoted as saying:
"You're fed up with him, but I have to deal with him even more often than you."  
If France is a sign of things to come, in November, Obama will also be given a one-way ticket out of the White House and he, too, will no longer have to be concerned about Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu.  Americans have had enough of a socialist as president.  Unlike the French, our votes will be directed to remove Obama's socialist agenda.  Then, America and Israel will join hands and with one voice, say "Amen!"
As for the growing anti-Semitism in France, the citizens were only following their leader, Sarkozy, in his contempt towards all things "Israel", which included the Jews.  The French Jews now seeking Aliyah must have been blind-sided about Sarkozy's true character, much like American Jews were fooled by Obama's "true colors".  

To join in the celebration for the Jews able to make Aliyah, here's a lovely little song that is one of my favorites - a song I never tire of listening to - a song an Israeli friend made with translation, just so I would understand the Hebrew.  Israel always blesses me.

Muslim Brotherhood Wants to Re-Elect Barack Hussein Obama

MIDDLE EAST AND TERRORISM

by Eileen F. Toplansky

In this YouTube video from Walid Shoebat's site, Tom Trento, of United West, describes the recent collusion of the president of the United States with the terrorist group known as the Muslim Brotherhood. Besides heading United West, Tom Trento is the executive director of the Florida Security Council; both organizations "specialize in international terrorism research and grassroots activism."

Mentioned in the YouTube presentation, The ISNA or Islamic Society of North America has been described by Islamic scholar Stephen Schwartz as "one of the chief conduits through which the radical Saudi form of Islam passes into the United States." Furthermore, "according to terrorism expert Steven Emerson, ISNA 'is a radical group hiding under a false veneer of moderation'; 'convenes annual conferences where Islamist militants have been given a platform to incite violence and promote hatred' (for instance, al Qaeda supporter and PLO official Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi was invited to speak at an ISNA conference); has held fundraisers for terrorists (after Hamas leader Mousa Marzook was arrested and eventually deported in 1997, ISNA raised money for his defense); has condemned the U.S. government's post-9/11 seizure of Hamas' and Palestinian Islamic Jihad's financial assets; and publishes a bi-monthly magazine, Islamic Horizons, that 'often champions militant Islamist doctrine.'"

One of the authors of the in-depth book entitled Shariah: The Threat to America, Tom Trento helped to expose the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood and its offshoots into the United States. In this well-documented text available to read online here, the Muslim Brotherhood's tactics and ultimate desire for global sharia implementation are described. The MuslimBrotherhood's "mission in the West is sedition in the furtherance of shariah's supremacist agenda, not peaceful assimilation and co-existence with non-Muslim populations."

And yet, Barack Hussein Obama not only invites this group which should be put on a terrorist watch list, but also writes out a check for $1.5 billion of American taxpayer money to assist their regime in Egypt. What conclusion can be made when a president gives money to a group bent on the destruction of the very country giving this money to them?

According to Israel Elad Altman in his 2009 research monograph entitled "Strategies of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement," the Muslim Brotherhood, otherwise known as the Ikhwan:

... believes that its purposes in the West are, for the moment, better advanced by the use of non-violent, stealthy techniques. In that connection, the Muslim Brotherhood seeks to establish relations with, influence and, wherever possible, penetrate government circles in executive and legislative branches at the federal, state, and local levels; the law enforcement community; intelligence agencies; the military; penal institutions, the media; think tanks and policy groups; academic institutions, non-Muslim religious communities; and other elites. The Brothers engage in all of these activities and more for one reason: to subvert the targeted communities in furtherance of the Muslim Brother's primary objective -- the triumph of shariah.

Is this why Mr. Obama is giving moral and financial assistance to the Muslim Brotherhood? Is this why he surrounds himself with people who ardently support sharia implementation? Why is he never questioned by news reporters about his support of a terrorist organization and the implications for American security of such a strategy?

Tom Trento also runs the site WatchObsession.org, which highlights the ongoing terror tactics that have been used in countries as far away as Bali to those closer to home in the United States. This film underscores the violence of the Muslim Brotherhood offshoots such as Hezb'allah and Hamas. In fact, in "the Muslim Brotherhood's own Explanatory memorandum the following groups are listed as 'friends.'"

• Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)
• Muslim Student Association (MSA)
• Muslim Communities Association (MCA)
• Association of Muslim Social Scientists (AMSS)
• Association of Muslim Scientists and Engineers (AMSE)
• Islamic Medical Association (IMA)
• Islamic Teaching Center (ITC)
• North American Islamic Trust (NAIT)
• Foundation for International Development (FID)
• Islamic Housing Cooperative (IHC)
• Islamic Centers Division (ICD)
• American Trust Publications (ATP)
• Audio-Visual Center (AVC)
• Islamic Book Service (IBS)
• Muslim Businessmen Association (MBA)
• Muslim Youth of North America (MYNA)
• Malasian [sic] Islamic Study Group (MISG)
• Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)
• United Association for Studies and Research (UASR)
• Occupied Land Fund (OLF)
• Mercy International Association (MIA)
• Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)
• Baitul Mal Inc (BMI)
• International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT)
• Islamic Information Center (IIC)

In fact, every terrorist attack sponsored by the jihadists is not a separate event but a well-coordinated declaration of war in the global attack against Western democracy and Judeo-Christian values.

Trento explains the anti-Christian, anti-Jewish philosophy of the Muslim Brotherhood and exhorts his "Jewish brothers and sisters" to please take note of the deadly intentions of the Muslim Brotherhood and their front organization, the ISNA.

This is particularly important as a new American Jewish Committee survey indicates that Obama's Jewish numbers are on the rise. It is frankly inconceivable that three-fifths of American Jews stillsupport this man, and while observers remain cautious about these AJC poll results, one wonders why they are at this level at all. Is it ignorance, indifference, or lack of perception that, given Obama's anti-Jewish connections, Jews still adhere to the ideology of "Vote Democrat" no matter what?

In May 2011, three authors of Shariah: The Threat to America joined a new coalition entitled Israel:You're Not Alone. Frank Gaffney, Gen. Jerry Boykin (ret.), and Tom Trento "addressed different points about America's relationship with Israel." A comment at this site was made by a respondent named Ron. He writes "that [he] Stand[s] With Israel and will support Israel in any and all ways that [he is] able. However, [he has] one question about Jews.....Why do Jews continue to support democrats just because their liberal views are more aligned with them. They voted 78% for Obama in 2008 and it appears they may support him again. Ron wonder[s] why [he] should even support Israel when the American Jews won't help their own people by crossing over and voting for the republican party who will support and defend Israel? They didn't learn a lesson when Obama just spit in their face? Geeez [sic]."

Geez, indeed! I wonder, too.

Israeli spy flick reimagines Dubai killing

SFGATE By TIA GOLDENBERG, Associated Press Monday, May 7, 2012

 

Dan Balilty / AP

In this May 1, 2012 photo, Israeli model Bar Refaeli plays a seductress with actor Tomer Sisley on a film set in Eilat, southern Israel. The brazen 2010 assassination of a Hamas operative in Dubai remains shrouded in mystery, but an upcoming film is offering its own comedic interpretation of the movie-like events, complete with a gang of small-time crooks and a sly seductress played by Refaeli.

(05-07) 11:09 PDT EILAT, Israel (AP) --

The brazen 2010 assassination of a Hamas operative in Dubai, in which Israel's spy agency was accused, unfurled like a spy movie thriller — and in fact much of it was caught on camera. Now an Israeli movie plays it as a spy caper, complete with a sly seductress played by Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli.
The movie "Kidon", or Spear, gives the plot a twist by having a small-time gang of criminals murder Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in an attempt to frame Israel's Mossad spy agency.
Dubai police accused the Mossad of carrying out the actual hit in a five-star hotel, and released surveillance camera footage of the assassination team tracking al-Mabhouh. A number of countries also cast suspicion on Israel, angrily accusing its intelligence agency of forging passports under their citizens' names for the killers to use. Israel and the Mossad, as is their policy, never confirmed or denied involvement.
"The movie is not a documentary and it's not a history movie. It's my take on the al-Mabhouh story," said Emmanuel Nakash, the movie's French-Israeli director. Kidon is the supposed name of the Mossad's assassination unit.
Refaeli plays Einav Schwartz, an Israeli temptress whose role is to lure al-Mabhouh into the assassins' trap.
For the film, a French-Israeli production, a glitzy hotel in the Israeli resort city of Eilat served as the Dubai hotel. The characters are all fictional, except for al-Mabhouh, a Hamas leader in exile who helped smuggle weapons to militants in the Gaza Strip and who was wanted for capturing and killing two Israeli soldiers in the late 1980s.
In one scene, Refaeli, decked out in a revealing leopard-print dress and flipping her blonde hair, catches al-Mabhouh's eye by the hotel bar. He takes the bait, orders a drink, they have a chat and then slink out together, the hotel surveillance cameras filming them as they go.
Refaeli, best known for gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit edition and being the former longtime girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio, has made the crossover from modeling to acting before. She starred in the 2011 thriller "Session" and appeared in the Israeli TV series "Pick Up."
But she said "Kidon" is giving her a taste of a job she really wants: working as an agent for Israel's notorious spy agency.
"I would love to be in the Mossad and maybe I am. Who knows? I think that being a famous model is the best cover," Refaeli told reporters.
In the Dubai killing, the hit team — including two women — entered the Persian Gulf city undetected on foreign passports, pulled off the highly complex operation, then escaped the country unscathed.
There was no indication of a bar room seduction. Using the hotel camera footage, Dubai police outlined a 19-hour operation, where the agents, wearing disguises such as fake beards, wigs and tennis attire, kept close watch on al-Mabhouh, prowling the elevator and hallways before slipping into his room and killing him.
Forensic tests indicated he was first injected in the thigh with a fast-acting, hard-to-detect muscle relaxant. Then he was suffocated with a pillow, Dubai police said.
The photos on the assassins' doctored passports were released by Dubai police and published worldwide, as were their 26 aliases. More than half of the names turned out to belong to real-life dual nationals living in Israel, some of whom claimed their identities had been stolen.
Several of Israel's important allies, including Britain, Ireland and Australia, threw out Israeli diplomats in protest over the use of their nations' passports. But the diplomatic fallout was largely contained.
On the set at the Eilat hotel, extras wearing traditional Arab garb strolled around the lobby speaking in Hebrew as others dressed as heavily made-up cocktail waitresses looked bored between takes.
The $5.2 million film is expected to hit theaters in France and Israel next year.
The hotel footage of the real operation was a boon for actor Shredy Jabarin, who studied it meticulously for his portrayal of al-Mabhouh.
"I saw a sharpness, a lot of caution, like an animal with many instincts. If you watch the video, he gets out of the elevator, looks right, looks left, checks the area, like a robot," said Jabarin.
Refaeli said Israelis are used to hearing about covert operations blamed on the Mossad, but the al-Mabhouh killing was the most sensational, making it perfect fodder for a film.
"This specific one sounded like a movie scene," Refaeli told The Associated Press on the sidelines of the set. "It was just like reading a script."

Physicians Group Asks Food Nazi Michelle Obama To Stop Being Photographed Eating Junk Food…

But she’s so good at being a hypocrite.

(Baltimore Sun) — First Lady Michelle Obama is on a mission to get our kids to eat healthy, but every now and then she is known to indulge on a cheeseburger or other food that is not so good for the body.
A few years ago she made a lunch run with staff to a Five Guys in Washington, D.C.
Well, a physicians group said this is a no-no and wants Michelle Obama and the rest of the first family not to be photographed eating unhealthy foods.
The Physicans Committee for Responsible Medicine said that President Obama has posed in a number of staged photos eating unhealthy foods, including hot dogs at a basketball game with British Prime Minister David Cameron. He and Vice President Joe Biden were spotted making a stop at Ray’s Hell Burger in Virginia and eating cheeseburgers with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
The group said Obama’s staff would never schedule a photo opp of the president smoking a cigarette, so why eating a piece of pizza?
The group plans to file a petition later this week asking the White House to issue an executive order banning staged photos of the president, his family the vice president and members of the president’s cabinet eating unhealthy foods.

 Bee's Note:
"Zip" always has little "gems" that demonstrate the hypocrisy of this administration, and the "Let them eat cake" Barack Hussein Obama family.  When Obama pokes fun and ridicules Romney's wealth, I just sit back and laugh at Obama's pretense of having a more virtuous character then Romney.  And, on the subject of Michelle, as Zip posted today, her trips to the schools to "educate" our children on eating their vegetables (forgetting that they have parents), while she continually eats foods that would kill a horse! 

Obama Could Finally Acquire Elusive Internet “Kill Switch

MAY 7, 2012 BY DOUG BOOK 
THE WESTERN CENTER FOR JOURNALISM

For three years Barack Hussein Obama and his handlers have labored to create a functioning dictatorship in the midst of a constitutional republic. It was shamefully easy at first. With unassailable majorities in House and Senate, even a Republican leadership unafraid to contest the excesses of the first black president would have been powerless to slow the implementation of his agenda.

The left passed ObamaCare, giving itself the means of executing a calculated program of attrition against millions of reliably Republican seniors. At the same time, a corrupt Department of Justice worked to undermine the 2nd Amendment, interfered with the effort of states to legislate against voter fraud and facilitated the entry of millions of illegals by refusing to enforce immigration law.

Even a disastrous midterm election has not slowed Obama’s acquisition of power as 190 House Republicans helped vote into law the infamous National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), providing the Commander and Chief unlimited authority to detain and imprison without due process any American he considers a threat to national security.

But one vitally important power has eluded the usurper in the White House, that being the legal means to control the world-wide web. Countless attempts have been made to provide Obama that longed for internet “kill switch,” many of them originating with Senator Joe Lieberman. Yet from Net Neutrality to the 2010 “Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act,” all have met with such an outcry from left and right alike that they have died in Congress.

All, that is, until now. A week ago the House of Representatives passed the latest Congressional attempt to nullify the last remaining exercise of American freedom, the “cyber-security” bill called CISPA—the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act.

According to lawmakers, the purpose of CISPA is to make it easier for companies and the federal government to share information about methods of thwarting hackers. Until now, such information sharing about individual web users could have provided the grounds for a law suit. CISPA, however, “… would allow companies to freely share “cyber-threat information” without consequence.” (1)

Critics of the bill point to the fact that, in the form passed by the House, “…any web-related service provider may share ‘cyber threat information with any other entity,’ including the military and National Security Agency NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW…” In short, once enacted the terms of CISPA would take precedence over any existing state or federal law. Privacy laws would be a thing of the past. (1)

Though Janet Napolitano’s Department of Homeland Security has “monitored” the mood of the public for some time, the enactment of CISPA would transform the now shadowy Department methods of spying on the enemies of Barack into a full-time, executive branch operation. (2) As civil liberties groups have claimed, the bill is so broadly written that it “would allow companies to share private consumer information with the government under the guise of sharing information about potential hacker threats.” (3)

For a would-be despot of Barack Obama’s ilk, the possibilities for abuse inherent in such a law are staggering. He would have the authority to flagrantly spy on any group or individual under the pretense of concern for national security. And as he may, under the powers afforded him by the NDAA, declare such groups or individuals a threat to the United States, the chilling effect upon any declared opposition to his nefarious schemes would be enormous. What better way to kill the internet than to clear it of all dissent!

Some claim that CISPA will have a difficult time in the US Senate. We must hope that will be the case.
