Where There’s Smoke, There’s Mirrors

My internet and my phone line oddly fried this week, one after the other, so although I have had trouble getting online, I haven’t had trouble following the news. The news this week has been triply disturbing, as have the weird things going on with my life and the life of my partner in activism, the co-leader to our group of conservatives. In her case, her internet was flagged because of a benign email about getting our small weekly groups going. The phrase that was at odds with AOL’s TOS agreement was “organizing small groups”. She was roundly scolded that email is for fun and entertainment and this email did not “fit into” that category, therefore if she persisted, her account would be closed. She was also unable to reply or to print her emails, only to delete them. She was able to get this decision reversed…but the question remains for how long will that last?

Hmmm. I don’t know…Anyway, all this aside, the real smoke and mirrors is the White House this week, and this is where I shall focus the rest of my efforts in this blog.

The Smoke

The White House flip-flopped again, this time on the release of memos of our simulated drowning and other "insect letting" on terrorists who have attacked our country. Then the White House oddly flipped back on Thursday. Do we ask ourselves why???

The Mirrors

We must remember that Obama does nothing without an agenda and that he creates diversion through smoke so the mirrors do not reflect what he is really doing to our country under the cover of said smoke. What else happened during this recent 4-day period?

Obama went after credit card companies early this week.

He told them that they WILL issue credit, massive amounts of credit, even though a staggering one out of six people are not paying their credit card bills, and that the great benevolent government will supply them with their privatized gains, while publicizing their losses. As an interesting side note, American Express, who was not the holder of credit, the money in most cases, but a pass through Credit Company, signed on last November to become a “bank” so they would be able to cash in on the government handouts. In December, they were approved. Since then their losses have been a staggering 56%. They want out. Obama doesn’t want to let them out. With a sixth of the payments becoming chargebacks, how exactly will this work to help us out of financial demise?

Obama went after the banks this week.

He used his bully pulpit and the media against them to switch up the TARP rules to trade the Preferred Shares we agreed upon in October to common shares. This will negate the ability for our Tax coffers to be paid out first and best in dividends, relieving the American people of a bit of the great burden of the bailout through dividends through profits. It will also mean that if any of these banks go belly up, our tax coffers will not be the first to receive payouts in assets, again relieving the American taxpayer of a bit of the great burden. What it will do however, is to give our government the ability to vote on the shares. You can’t vote on preferred shares, but you can vote on common shares. Therein lays the sting, the completion of the nationalization of the banks, otherwise known as the first step in the government controlling all aspects of our lives through credit and banking.

Obama stated we will release the Uighur GITMO detainees into America this week.

Obama has stated that as many as seven GITMO detainees will be freed in the United States, which not only endangers the lives of American citizens, but more importantly is a violation of U.S. law. Known as the "Uighurs", they were captured on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border and were trained at the al-Qaeda affiliated East Turkistan Islamic Movement ("ETIM") Tora Bora camp while the military was hot on the trail of Osama Bin Laden. Obama Bin Lyin’ says we will protect these men and let them free in America. Quotes "The Obama administration is preparing to free into the United States Chinese Muslims being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the first release of any of the detainees into this country, according to current and former U.S. officials." – Chicago Tribune and "Officials have not said where in the United States they (Uighurs) might live. But many Uighur immigrants from China live in Washington's Virginia suburbs, and advocates have urged that the detainees be resettled near people who speak their language and are familiar with their customs." – Los Angeles Times

Obama pushed through his agenda on the Healthcare bill this week.

Obama has pushed through his agenda on healthcare, to be voted on next week. With socialized medicine comes rationing. Who among us is prepared for being “queued” for a gall bladder removal or a hip replacement, who among us is prepared for being left to die “in dignity” if we are 80, otherwise healthy and happen to get an infection that requires aggressive and expensive treatment? I dare say none of us is prepared for that eventuality, but an eventuality it is. You cannot have it both ways, free and without strings. The strings are rationing and queuing.

Obama used the memos to reflect attention away from the HR 1913 Hate Crimes Bill.

Obama has used the memos uproar to up the ante in the HR1913 Hate Crimes bill being heard this week and being voted on April 29th. This bill, in short protects sexual behaviors by refusing to define sexual orientation and gender identity, imposes greater penalties on pastors for Bible Speech than child molesters, forces to remove the Findings Section--fraudulent basis for the legislation, equates bizarre sexual behaviors with race, religion and ethnicity and lays the legal foundation and framework to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, Bible teachers, Sunday School teachers, youth leaders, Christian counselors, religious broadcasters, etc. which have been protected by the First Amendment.

There is more, so much more. But this ought to keep your mind busy enough for now. Where there is smoke in this administration, there are mirrors, do not doubt that. Be on the lookout under the cover of next weeks burdeoning new smoke screen, the new "Swine Flu" outbreak. He will use this coverage and fear to release a whole new host of hidden agenda's. God help us all. Don't fear an outbreak, just use common sense, use a mask, wash your hands, restrict unnecessary travel right now, eat well, and take your vitamins.

Cut through the noise, do not be distracted, and keep an eye on the small print as well as on the bills. Fight back people, before we can fight back no more.

So Many Topics, So Little Time.

The bane of my existence these days is not what to write about, it is keeping up with it all. Thanks to some very devoted friends, I am getting lots of help these days.

My key problem is now, "Where shall I start?" Is it with the President as CEO of the now Government Motors? Naw, that's old news. How about I start with what else happened while he was busy putting on the news blitz smokescreen that made you and I purveyors of warranty safety on each and every GM vehicle?

The toss up says I will focus on Mr. Harold Koh. If you know who Harold Koh is, please raise your hand. [Lengthy Pause] No takers today? Okay, I'll share.

Harold Koh is Obama's new appointment for Legal Advisor to the Department of State.

Harold Koh is former dean of the Yale Law School.

Harold Koh has written several books, among them "The National Security Constitution: Sharing Power after the Iran-Contra Affair (Yale University Press,1990); Transnational Legal Problems (with Harry Steiner and Detlev Vagts, Foundation Press, 1994); and Deliberative Democracy and Human Rights (with Ronald C. Slye, Yale University Press, 1999). He has also written many book chapters, law review articles, and other published works.

Harold Koh has some pretty "out there" ideas, the most unenjoyable by far is the fact that Harold Koh testified before the 2005 Senate Judiciary Committee that the appointment of Alberto Gonzales was undesirable as attorney general of the United States, because of Gonzales' alleged role in attempting to provide legal guidance to the U.S. military stating:

"The War on Terror "renders obsolete" and "renders quaint" aspects of the Geneva Conventions."

In another award winning unenjoyable statement, as it was reported by Meghan Clyne of the New York Post, Koh addressed the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, saying that in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why...

"Sharia Law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States."

Just in case you don't know about the type of things Sharia Law covers, punishment runs the gamut for any number of offenses, for instance: not saying your prayers facing East 5 times a day could result in a public flogging, disobeying your husband could result in beheading, theft can result in the loss of hands, feet or both, and imprisonment and public flogging for a single woman or widow to even speak to a single unrelated man alone.

Here is a video of Britian citizens gathering in a meeting to combat the recent law, that is not a law on the books, but is being practiced in the courts, to allow Sharia Law in their country.



Here is another video giving you just the idea of what types of things you can expect under Sharia Law in our country. I encourage you to click on the video and go see some of the related videos in this set.



Yeah. That's just what we need in America.....

More topics you should take a look at today and that I will probably go into later in greater detail:

1. Clinton offered an olive branch to Taliban in Pakistan right after they killed dozens who stood against them. (Free Republic) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2218771/posts

2. On another note, Russia calls a return to the Gold Standard. As a friend and fellow freedom fighter said to me… “interesting that prior to the G20 conference, we appear to be being flanked by a calculating axis of "former" communists, who are actually exercising Austrian economic school doctrine in trying to stabilize their currency as opposed to the "kinkos" nature of the fed/treasury axis of evil. The dollar is in for a tumble, with pressure from all sides, most of all... ours.” I couldn’t agree. We are being conditioned right now to accept a new reserve currency and it will mean, more than anything, the end of America as we know it. (Free Republic) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2218824/posts

3. The President also signed the massive Omnibus LAND MANAGEMENT BILL yesterday, placing many simple things under “federal imprisonment” should we innocently do them, such as collecting rocks or fossils, and which is filled with pork out the wazoo. A total of 170 bills are in this baby and Reid did a little sleight of hand to get it through. Take a gander at http://spectator.org/archives/2009/03/31/toxic-omnibus-anti-energy-anti/

4. Oh, and we can’t forget Kerry’s renewed interest in banning weapons due to the border war manufactured truths…. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6350856.html

5. Watch out for HR 1444, the adjunct bill to HR 1388 in committee now. This one seeks to make service mandatory again, something the HR 1388 took out.

6. From Yid with a Lid Blogger, George Soros and John Podesta are trying to "quiet" non-liberal commentators through convincing advertisers to pull their advertising. Check out his blog, it is always good.

7. In another brilliant move, this from DC Examiner "the House Financial Services Committee, led by chairman Barney Frank, approved a measure that would, in some key ways, go beyond the most draconian features of the original AIG bill. The new legislation, the "Pay for Performance Act of 2009," would impose government controls on the pay of all employees -- not just top executives -- of companies that have received a capital investment from the U.S. government. It would, like the tax measure, be retroactive, changing the terms of compensation agreements already in place. And it would give Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner extraordinary power to determine the pay of thousands of employees of American companies."

Perhaps now you can see I don't know which topic to cover first, last or in the middle. More to come on these last 7 and more.

Until then, have a great day and fight the good fight! And always remember....Don't get mad, get even.
