Best story today about Hanoi Jane Fonda. You do remember her, don't you?

Andrew Breitbart's web site lives on even after his passing. Here is a great story about our very own American traitor, Jane Fonda and the news that a leftist film maker in Hollywood has cast Hanoi Jane to play Nancy Regan in a new movie. You do remember Jane Fonda's infamous scene sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during the Vietnam War.

Reminder # 11,487: Hollywood Hates You
 

by John Nolte 

There are left-wing actresses and then there's Jane Fonda. Fonda isn't merely a left-wing actress or a liberal or even a Leftist; Fonda is a traitor to her country and one of the most morally illiterate, divisive and polarizing figures to ever come out of a womb, much less Hollywood.

Conservatives will stomach certain actors and actresses, even if that individual has gone out of their way to constantly insult who we are and what we believe in. Jane Fonda, however, is something lower than that. She doesn't simply hurl insults at us, she's given aid and comfort to those who were not only were fighting to enslave an entire population under communism, but were killing the American servicemen selflessly fighting to keep that population liberated.

What I've written above is no secret to anyone and that includes the director of "The Butler," Lee Daniels, the man who made the decision to cast this wretched anti-American woman as a conservative icon. Worse still, a conservative icon who's still very much alive.

Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan in 'Butler'

Actress will portray former First Lady in Lee Daniels pic

By Jeff Sneider

In the midst of recruiting an all-star ensemble for his long-gestating passion project "The Butler," director Lee Daniels has tapped Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan.

Also, in case you have forgotten, Hanoi Jane also made radio broadcasts to our troops from Hanoi. Here is a transcript from a veterans web site: http://www.1stcavmedic.com/jane_fonda.htm   which also provided the photos used above.

This is Jane Fonda. During my two week visit in the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, I've had the opportunity to visit a great many places and speak to a large number of people from all walks of life- workers, peasants, students, artists and dancers, historians, journalists, film actresses, soldiers, militia girls, members of the women's union, writers.
 
I visited the (Dam Xuac) agricultural coop, where the silk worms are also raised and thread is made. I visited a textile factory, a kindergarten in Hanoi. The beautiful Temple of Literature was where I saw traditional dances and heard songs of resistance. I also saw unforgettable ballet about the guerrillas training bees in the south to attack enemy soldiers. The bees were danced by women, and they did their job well.
 
In the shadow of the Temple of Literature I saw Vietnamese actors and actresses perform the second act of Arthur Miller's play All My Sons, and this was very moving to me- the fact that artists here are translating and performing American plays while US imperialists are bombing their country.
 
I cherish the memory of the blushing militia girls on the roof of their factory, encouraging one of their sisters as she sang a song praising the blue sky of Vietnam- these women, who are so gentle and poetic, whose voices are so beautiful, but who, when American planes are bombing their city, become such good fighters.

I cherish the way a farmer evacuated from Hanoi, without hesitation, offered me, an American, their best individual bomb shelter while US bombs fell near by. The daughter and I, in fact, shared the shelter wrapped in each others arms, cheek against cheek. It was on the road back from Nam Dinh, where I had witnessed the systematic destruction of civilian targets- schools, hospitals, pagodas, the factories, houses, and the dike system.

As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble- strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly- and I pressed my cheek against hers- I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America's.
 
One thing that I have learned beyond a shadow of a doubt since I've been in this country is that Nixon will never be able to break the spirit of these people; he'll never be able to turn Vietnam, north and south, into a neo- colony of the United States by bombing, by invading, by attacking in any way. One has only to go into the countryside and listen to the peasants describe the lives they led before the revolution to understand why every bomb that is dropped only strengthens their determination to resist. I've spoken to many peasants who talked about the days when their parents had to sell themselves to landlords as virtually slaves, when there were very few schools and much illiteracy, inadequate medical care, when they were not masters of their own lives.
 
But now, despite the bombs, despite the crimes being created- being committed against them by Richard Nixon, these people own their own land, build their own schools- the children learning, literacy- illiteracy is being wiped out, there is no more prostitution as there was during the time when this was a French colony. In other words, the people have taken power into their own hands, and they are controlling their own lives.
 
And after 4,000 years of struggling against nature and foreign invaders- and the last 25 years, prior to the revolution, of struggling against French colonialism- I don't think that the people of Vietnam are about to compromise in any way, shape or form about the freedom and independence of their country, and I think Richard Nixon would do well to read Vietnamese history, particularly their poetry, and particularly the poetry written by Ho Chi Minh.

[recording ends]

Giving aid and comfort to the enemy is a crime. It is called Treason and the penalty is death by hanging. There is no Statute of Limitations for this crime which means she can be prosecuted at any time. How prophetic it was for Jane to star in the 1965 movie Cat Ballou with this scene and then make her infamous visit to North Vietnam in 1972. Was she foretelling her own eventual future?

Aussies see the big picture, why can't Americans?

The following is one page from today's post from the Winds of Jihad web site in Australia. My guess is that too many Americans are standing so close to the trees that they can't see the forest. So lets step back a little and take another look.

Obamster ready to hand America over to Ruskies after reelection

by sheikyermami on March 27, 2012

Enemy in the White House:

The USA spent $trillions on a nuclear arsenal to prevent Russians from imposing communist totalitarianism on the free world. The money was wasted. We now have a president who for all intents and purposes is a communist and who is planning to sell us out to Russia:

Obama Promises Medvedev He Will Sell Out USA After Election

Obama caught off mic promising to give Putin everything after his re-election

Is Jake Tapper the only objective reporter left in the whole of the mainstream media? This is another bombshell by the traitor to his adopted country. Once again he is abandoning our allies and relinquishing American sovereignty to our enemies by covert executive fiat.  No surprise here, as this was meticulously documented in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s war on America. Read it.

OK, slight apology needed here. Some of those quotes above originated here at home. So some Americans do see the Big Picture but the leftist mainstream news media ignores it. By the way, when I heard that open-mic statement from Obama to Putin I had a slightly different take on it. To me it sounded like Obama already considered he had won the November election. We'll have to work a little harder to prove him wrong.

 

 

The wishful thinking of a little boy or just repeating what his elders told him.

The greatest conspiracy ever committed in American history.

A few years ago WorldNet Daily News, now WND.com, ran a story about young Barry Soetoro, now known as Barack Hussein Obama, when he was in school in Indonesia. I don't have a link to that story any more but if my memory is correct it involved an interview with one of Barry's teachers. The teacher said she remembered a striking conversation in which Barry once told her: "When I grow up I'm going to be president of the United States." Now every parent at one time or another has heard their children make extraordinary claims such as "I'm going to be an astronaut." because they are nothing more than wishful thinking. But sometimes children repeat things that they hear from their parents, too. So what do we make of a much older boy who makes that same claim while attending college? WND.com has a few stories about a Chicago-area mailman named Allen Hulton who delivered mail on the street where the mother of Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers lived. The mailman remembers that one day he met a young black man whom he thinks was Barack Hussein Obama and that Obama told him in a matter-of-fact tone that he was going to be president.

WND EXCLUSIVE

Postman: Ayers family put 'foreigner' Obama through school

Claims he met young Barack who boasted he'd someday be president

Over a period of years in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hulton estimates he spoke with Mary Ayers about 18 to 20 times and once to Tom Ayers, who died in 2007. Mary Ayers died in 2000.

“Sometimes Mary would be out when I delivered the mail, and we would exchange a few words on occasion,” he says, recalling that she liked to talk about her family.

“One day, Mary came to the door when I came up to the house with the mail,” he remembers. “After a greeting, she started enthusiastically talking to me about this young black student they were helping out, and she referred to him as a foreign student.”

Hulton assumed that by “helping” the student, Mary Ayers meant she and her husband were financially supporting the black foreign-exchange student with his education.

About a year after discussing with Mary Ayers the foreign student she and her husband were supporting, Hulton recalls meeting a young black male on the sidewalk in front of the Ayers home.

Hulton describes the man as being in his early 20s, noting that he was tall, thin, had a light complexion and that his ears stuck out.

“He greeted me,” Hulton says. “He was very polite, dressed nicely, but informally – slacks and a dress shirt – and he spoke with no accent. Immediately this young black man entered into conversation with me. He told me he had taken the train out from Chicago and had come to thank the Ayers family personally for having helped him with his education.”
Hulton remembers asking the young man what his plans were for the future.

“He looked right at me and told me he was going to be president of the United States,” Hulton says.

“There was a little bit of a grin on his face when he said it – he sounded sure of himself, but not arrogant. I know how people will say things because they have an ambition, but it did not come across that way,” Hulton says. “It came across as if this young black male was telling me he was going to be president, almost as if it were the statement of a scientific fact that had already been determined, as if his being president had been already pre-arranged.”

Considering the fact that several other news stories have labeled Barack Hussein Obama as an "Impostor" and a "Manchurian Candidate" and that Maricopa County, Arizona, Sheriff Joe Arpaio has investigated the fraudulent credentials of Barack Hussein Obama, and the fact that none of the mainstream leftist news media has shown interest in investigating Obama's background, I think we are looking at the greatest conspiracy ever perpetrated in American history. And considering the fact that many of these stories are beginning to mysteriously disappear from the Internet, I think that every conservative blog needs to repost them.

Want to know where Obama has created 2.5 million jobs? Here is a partial list of some.

This is not a finished post. I wrote last week about a story in ammo.net of the new jobs in the gun and ammo industry that could be attributed to Barack Hussein Obama. Now another field of industry appears to be up and running. Those people who scour the Internet and remove unpopular stories about The Great Impostor himself. Case in point, Forbes.com published a story on March 24th titled: Is There An Imposter In The White House? An Excerpt from "Hope Is Not A Strategy" by John Mariotti that called Barack Hussein Obama a "manufactured candidate" and then a "Manchurian candidate". A few hours later the story disappeared. Forbes.com acknowledges the link to the story title but then reports: "Something's gone awry! The page you requested could not be found" But here is the link in Forbes.com to that same story:

Is There An Imposter In The White House? An Excerpt from "Hope Is Not A Strategy" | Story

March 24, 2012

  There is something very wrong when the sitting president refuses to divulge huge pieces of information about his background. What is he hiding? Maybe the "birthers" were a little extreme, but is there something wrong with this "manufactured candidate," whose history remains sealed from public view? What is he hiding? Could the "Hawaii birth [...]

Thanks to Obama there must be a whole hoard of people getting paid to clean up the bad news about him on the web sites but thankfully there aren't enough of them to do a completely thorough job. And conversely speaking there must be a lot of people getting paid to write phony stories about him. (Actually the latter group started working several years ago.) That's where the conservative bloggers come in. They capture the stories and repost them before they get taken down. By the way, the Gateway Pundit web site also won't load at the time I write this.

Forbes ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Article on Obama Goes ‘Poof’

That’s Weird?… Forbes ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Article on Obama Disappears Down the Memory Hole

Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, March 25, 2012, 11:11 PM

Earlier today Forbes posted an excerpt from the book Hope Is Not a Strategy by John Mariotti and D. M. Lukas. The author provided an excerpt from the book for the article where he describes Barack Obama as a “manufactured candidate” whose history remains sealed. Mariotti then calls Obama the “Manchurian candidate.”

But, after the article was posted for a few hours it suddenly disappeared down the memory hole.

Here is the original article.

“There is something very wrong when the sitting president refuses to divulge huge pieces of information about his background. What is he hiding? Maybe the “birthers” were a little extreme, but is there something wrong with this “manufactured candidate,” whose history remains sealed from public view? What is he hiding?

Could the “Hawaii birth certificate” be a forgery? Is there something much worse—like “sponsorship” by an unnamed special interest? I don’t know. I do know that the man in the White House now is an imposter. The only question is which kind of an imposter: an incompetent “pretender” or a genuine phony, a “Manchurian candidate,” who is a liberal, ½ black and ½ white, and an obvious Muslim sympathizer.

Will this campaign expose him as the imposter, and the pretender his behavior has revealed? Will it expose his hidden history and murky background. We know about his failures and mistakes.

For those who don’t, here is another in this series of revealing excerpts from Hope Is Not A Strategy: Leadership Lessons from the Obama Presidency.

Excerpt from the chapter: Beware the Pretender:

…”No matter how many times President Obama refers to the “problems he inherited,” he has now been in office three years. Certainly many of the current problems can be traced back to events that happened during the eight years that Bush held the top office, and some can be traced back to even earlier presidencies — but far from all of them.

Many of the problems are newly created (or made worse), and Barack Obama owns them. Candidate Obama stepped up and essentially said, “I want the job, and everything that comes with it” by running for president. After three years in office, the problems now belong to him and his presidency. He caused them, made them worse, or didn’t solve them. Either way, they are his now.

…In leadership, you cannot “pretend” to be a leader. You either are — or you aren’t — a leader. One or the other will become apparent very quickly.

If you want the leadership job, you must step up and take full ownership of it. A “pretender” or “poser” is like an actor who has learned all the right lines, but has no idea what they mean. Once the script has been followed (or deviated from), the actor is clueless about what to do next. This is the job of the leader. Unfortunately, in this government, the “directors” often seem clueless, having learned in academia where results and wins/losses are theoretical, or in politics where success (at getting elected) is more a matter of rhetoric than results.

If you are not ready for a position, or do not believe that you have what it takes to rise to the challenge (or clean up the mess even if you believe it is not your mess), then do not take the job. This was Barack Obama’s fundamental mistake. He grossly underestimated the difficulty of the position he was running for, and overestimated his preparedness to actually do the job. Just because he could “talk a good game” (thanks to a phalanx of speech writers and the omnipresent teleprompters) does not mean he actually knew what to do or how to do it. The presidency of the United States of America is not a place for heavy OJT (On-the Job-Training)….”

After the first three plus years of the presidency, it is painfully clear that Barack Obama was a “pretty face,” and “glib speaker” and a lightweight liberal politician with a community organizer/radical background. The American people should be outraged at this man’s behavior and even his candidacy. Why are they not? Because of the misinformation delivered by sympathetic liberal/mainstream media who loves his nonsensical form of governing.

…”Obama’s perceived preparedness for the presidency is a terrible delusion, from which it is difficult to escape. Mistakes build upon each other and result in even more complex problems. Difficult problems that are mishandled become even more difficult to fix. When you have too little experience, lack substance (other than the words of your latest speech), then leading, managing and problem solving simply don’t happen. And that is what has occurred. When you compound the problem by surrounding your self with like-minded theorists, lacking in real-world experience, things become worse yet. The theoretical solutions to problems often don’t work due to the messiness of the real world — and the reasons are almost unfathomable to these rookie executive/politicians. …”

What should Americans think about this “imposter?” Will he divulge his true background so we can all see who he is and where he came from — really? If not, is this just a man who should never have been sworn into the office of President in the first place, and who has crippled Americans miserably during his term?

Will we continue to believe his misstatements (the politically correct term for lies)? Can he simply use the media to “erase and forget the past three years of misery and missteps?” Or will we learn from his imperialistic behavior and terrible results and throw him out in November?

And, this was posted at Courage in America blog before it disappeared.

Democracy in action: the mob-rule mentality lashes out in the Trayvon Martin killing. It wasn't about "standing your ground" it was all about self-defense.

The leftist news media and the Democratic Party are so much against the ownership of guns in America that they will latch on to any news event that fosters their ideology. They do so with such a vengeance that they demonstrate unequivocally just what Democracy is all about: MOB RULE. They will distort and hide the facts to support their arguments and even rewrite the stories to make them hard to understand but one thing is certain, they will reach their conclusions before the trial has even began, and then come running, carrying the rope. There can be no doubt any longer why the Founding Fathers who drafted our United States Constitution refused to call our country a Democracy and chose, instead, to give us a Republic. Until such time that Barack Hussein Obama and his Muslim, Communist cohorts manage to change it, WE are still a Republic, a nation of laws, NOT Mob Rule.

On February 26th, George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, was attacked by Trayvon Martin on the street. A bystander phoned 911 and the dispatcher recorded the call in which the cries for help by Zimmerman could be heard. Witnesses reported that Zimmerman was on the ground and Martin was on top of him beating him. Zimmerman had a broken nose and a bloody wound on the back of his head. A few moments later Martin was dead from a gunshot wound made by Zimmerman with his concealed weapon that he was licensed to carry. Clearly, it was a case of self-defense but the news media decided to apply the "stand-your-ground" law that says a person is not required to run away from an attack. Then, because Trayvon Martin was black the added accusation of racism was tacked on even though Zimmerman was half-white and half Hispanic who also had black relatives. The "stand-your-ground" law is also known as the Castle Doctrine, a rule which the NRA has successfully lobbied in many state legislatures that allows a person to use deadly force in their homes to ward off an attack instead of being obligated to flee to safety.

The story has exploded across the country with black ministers in every city preaching from their Sunday pulpits while wearing "hoodies" in support of Trayvon Martin. Every Democrat politician, including Barack Hussein Obama, has jumped on the bandwagon calling this a racially motivated hate crime before any police investigation has been concluded. But there is even much more going on and the following story written by Terresa Monroe-Hamilton on the NoisyRoom.net web site has the rest. Reprinted from NoisyRoom.net

Leveraging Racism for Chaos – Gateway to Communism

The New Black Panther Party 

Revolution – The Beatles:

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We’re doing what we can
But when you want money
For people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
Ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…
You say you’ll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know it’s gonna be all right
All right, all right
All right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) is closely associated with the Nation of Islam (NOI). Former Nation of Islam minister Khalid Abdul Muhammad became the national chairman of the NBPP from the late 1990s until his death in 2001. The group attracted many breakaway members of the NOI. The NBPP is currently led by Malik Zulu Shabazz; it upholds Khalid Abdul Muhammad as the founder of the movement. They note that not all their members are members of the Nation of Islam, though the group acknowledges universal “spirituality” practices within the organization.

They are considered a ‘hate’ group, but the media rarely reports on their movements and intentions. Glenn Beck has stated that the Nation of Islam should be watched as he feels they are capable of great violence.

Although the group claims it does not follow the precepts of Marxism or Mao as the original Black Panther Party did, they do follow the Kawaida theory of Maulana Karenga, which includes black unity, collective action and cooperative economics. In other words, Black Liberation Theology and collectivism – by any other name, it’s still in reality Communism.

The New Black Panther Party is the very antithesis of what Martin Luther King stood for. In fact, they seem hell bent on carrying out the vision of Charlie Manson and his murderous bunch of lunatics.

Enter Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman. From Maggie’s Notebook:

The Sanford, Florida Treyvon Martin killing has taken a turn today. Martin was 17 years old, [he] left a sporting event on television to buy Skittles for his little brother. He left the house unarmed. That much has been confirmed. Today there is a report of a witness who saw the confrontation from his home, and says Martin attacked Zimmerman. For several days, the news has been of “racist” police and a “racist” 28-year-old Neighborhood Watch Captain, George Zimmerman. He is half White, half Hispanic and some of his relatives are Black. The police report recorded that Zimmerman had a bloody nose and blood on the back of his head. His attorney says he has a broken nose. He was not arrested. The Sanford Police Captain stepped down over the calls of racism, and says there are threats against his life and his family. The Black Panthers have a Bounty on Zimmerman, offering $10,000.00 for is “capture.” Zimmerman is not “missing,” or “on the lam,” but is surely in hiding in fear for his life. In addition to the Bounty, the Black Panthers are forming an army [of] 10,000 Black men to hunt down Zimmerman.

And the nudge is about to become a violent shove into chaos. From what I hear Zimmerman was protecting himself. Since when is that a crime? Not all the facts are in yet, but the New Black Panther Party and others are quick to attack with or without all the facts. Whatever happened to Constitutional rights and innocent till proven guilty? Now, we move straight to lynchings. I also wonder with all the crime across the country, why this incident and why now? It looks to me like the left was looking for an incident to create racial tension and violence and this one was as good as any. It also serves to further the loud voices against Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and others. The calls will go from demanding that they be silenced, to calling for their deaths. It’s coming.

As the New Black Panther Party puts out somewhere between $10,000 and a cool 1 million to kill Zimmeran (not really sure as they have said both), there are crickets from the media. But not from social media. From American Power Blog:

And the now-deleted tweet from @Simply_Reiona:

“Ima get a group of niggas to KILL George Zimmerman ( the fat ass racist ass white man who killed Trayvon Martin ) ! He deserves to DIE !!!!— Couldnt Care Less (@Simply_Reiona) March 24, 2012″

Meanwhile, Spike Lee used his Twitter account to broadcast Zimmerman’s home address to his 244,858 followers.
From The Blaze:

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan has been among the vocal voices weighing in on calls for justice for Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old who was gunned down last month while walking home in Sanford, Florida. On Wednesday, a march was held in New York City in support of the teen’s family, as federal and local authorities launch investigations into how the incident unfolded and why the state’s “stand your ground” law applied to the shooter in this case.

On Twitter yesterday and today, Farrakhan sent some curious tweets regarding peace, justice and retaliation that could be interpreted as a veiled threat.

“Where there is no justice, there will be no peace. Soon the law of retaliation may very well be applied,” Farrakhan wrote, including the hashtag #Trayvon to clarify the subject of his angst. “Let us see what kind of justice will come for his bereaved family and our bereaved community.”

And…

“The fruit of justice is peace. But justice is a principle of fair dealing,” he writes in another tweet. “When we fail to do justice, we literally set up conditions that destroy peace.” And in his most recent tweet, Farrakhan writes, “Think. Reflect. Then get up and do something for self or suffer the consequences.”

These messages follow a tweet that Farrakhan sent referencing text from a 2007 sermon. This same article is referenced on the front page of the Nation of Islam’s media outlet, The Final Call, as well. In the article, entitled, “Justifiable Homicide: Black Youth In Peril – Pt. 1,“ the minister claims that ”there has been a great display of anti-Black hatred in the United States of America” of late.

Additionally, he laments discriminatory actions against African Americans and claims that Black youths have not been informed of the price that their forefathers payed to give them their current lifestyles. Farrakhan uses the words “the enemy” to describe those educating Black youths and says that African Americans have suffered at the hands of “a wicked oppressor.”

Now the New Black Panther Party has put out wanted posters to their followers – Zimmeraman is wanted dead or alive:

(AllVoices) — Yesterday afternoon at a press conference, the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense circulated a “wanted dead or alive” poster for George Zimmerman for shooting to death a Florida teenager four weeks ago.

Zimmerman, a self-proclaimed neighborhood watch captain said he accosted what he alleges was a suspicious looking black male walking through his neighborhood. He further contends the man punched him, and bloodied his nose, so Zimmerman fired a gun shot striking the man in the chest. The “man” was 17 year old Trayvon Martin, who would lie in the county morgue three days before police alerted his parents of their child’s death.
Minister Mikhail Muhummud led the press conference, calling for the firing of Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, the arrest of George Zimmerman and some involvement from President Obama. Muhummud stated he is the southern regional director for the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense located in Jacksonville, Florida. While Minister Muhummud fired off a list of demands and expressed outrage over the handling of the shooting and subsequent investigation; a member of the group passed flyers to about 100 people who showed up for the press conference. Muhummud told the group he was not concerned with rumors of death threats to George Zimmerman, “He should be afraid for his life…”

So, we have ‘progressed’ from radical threats and barbs, to the call for violence in the streets and against one another. How very Cloward and Piven of them. And right on schedule for the chaotic spring descending on America as the Communists who are manipulating the political chess board in America and across the globe, begin to make their move to bring America to her knees. All of this can be laid squarely at Barack Obama’s feet. Future blood spilled because of this will be on his hands, count on it. He is egging it on – from WND:

Obama weighed in on the shooting Friday, saying the incident requires all Americans to “do some soul searching.”

“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids,” he said. “I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative to investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together – federal, state and local – to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon. And I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are gonna take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we’re going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

How touching. Obama self-identifying with a ‘designated’ victim without waiting for even the most basic of facts. Don’t expect a beer summit to come from this.

And the usual leftist instigators are chiming in – they cast themselves as men of God, while calling for violence, death and mayhem – I give you the Reverend Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson – both consummate racists and Communists. They are leading the lynch mob mentality out there and it has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with bottom up, top down, inside out…

All of this is nothing more than leveraging racism to induce chaos and to provide a gateway to full-blown Communism. They mean for us to beg them (the authorities) to make it stop, so they can bring the hammer down. The plan is in full swing and the chaotic dance has just begun to occupy the streets and bring America down.

Update: Bookworm Room gets the big picture right again – The real message behind the race hustlers’ manipulation of the Trayvon Martin killing

  

Why do conservatives believe Democrats, Socialists and Communists have the same goals in mind?

Why do conservatives believe Democrats, Socialists and Communists have the same goals in mind? Simple. Because they say they do. Read what Frances Fox Piven, a renowned leftist professor, acknowledged at a leftist rally.

At last weekend’s Left Forum 2012, the annual pep-rally for liberal thought, renown leftist professor and activist Frances Fox Piven shown some light onto the makeup of the current America Left.  In this minute  of audio, Piven tells the packed auditorium which worldview philosophies embody their movement: 

“There is room for all of us. Religious leftists, people who think peace is the answer, those who think that wholesome food is what we really need, ecologists and old-fashioned Democrats,  Democratic Socialists, Socialists and Communists.”

From a story printed today in The Blaze, ‘Democrats, Socialists and Communists…We Are All Together’: Piven Draws Chilling Connections, written by Benny Johnson and posted on March 22, 2012 at 4:20pm. OK, now everyone knows this. The liberals love to tell about how everyone's connected by 6-degrees of separation. Well, the distance separating a Democrat politician from a Communist is so close you'd need a microscope to see it. Voting for a Democrat politician is the same as voting for a Communist.

One Nation Under Socialism.

A simple but very dramatic pledge.

www.McNaughtonArt.com
"I pledge allegiance to the United States of America,
And not to an ideology, which can never stand,
One nation under socialism, divisive,
With no liberty or justice for anyone."

From the artist Jon McNaughton who painted this picture he called The Forgotten Man, a very powerful image showing Barack Hussein Obama /aka/ Barry Soetoro crushing the United States Constitution beneath his foot.

This text below was copied from the following YouTube video description.

This November, you will make a choice. Will you choose One Nation Under Socialism?

McNaughton's Answers to Questions Regarding This Painting:
Why the title "One Nation Under Socialism?" 

Our federal government has been moving in the direction of socialism for over one hundred years. Many presidents and politicians have compromised the Constitution as we have given away our freedoms under the guise of entitlements and government intervention. When the people are willing to sacrifice the next generation for their current lifestyles and allow the federal government to have all the power for an illusory mess of pottage—you have chosen One Nation Under Socialism.

What do you mean by an ideology, which can never stand?
I will not support an ideology, which will lead to the destruction of America. In the history of the world, never has there been a recorded example where Socialism has led to the betterment of the human condition or improved the liberty of the people. I know there are varying degrees and definitions of "socialism." Even the European model of Democratic Socialism has proven to be a dismal failure. Do you want to see our country become like Greece, Italy, Portugal, or even Great Britain?

What do you mean by "divisive, with no liberty or justice for anyone?"
Socialism uses the illusion of offering fairness and justice for everyone by redistributing the wealth of the nation; picking and choosing winners and losers. This administration has taken over our health care system, given bailouts to the automotive industry, banking industry and energy industry. They support the "Occupy Wall Street" movement of increased taxing of the rich to pay for the welfare of the "less rich." The Constitution never guaranteed equal things—only equal rights and justice. In America we should be FREE TO SUCCEED and FREE TO FAIL!

At this very moment our Constitution is literally going up in flames. What will you do to preserve the Constitution and save America?

Another news media cover-up. Once again another Muslim kills a few more Jews. This time in France, so where is the outrage and when does it begin here in America? And why does the media ignore this?

Daniel Greenfield writes about The New Nazis
Please go to the web site and read the entire article.

There was a time when Jewish children were hunted down and killed in France. Their killers believed themselves to be members of a superior group that was destined to rule the world and enslave or exterminate members of inferior groups. The cowardice and appeasement of the French authorities allowed them to operate freely, to kill Jews and launch attacks on other countries.

What was then is now again. The occupying army doesn't wear uniforms, it wears keffiyahs. It doesn't speak German, it speaks Arabic. It doesn't believe that it is superior for reasons of race as much as for reasons of religion. It does not view all others as Untermenschen, but as infidels. It looks forward not to a thousand year Reich, but to a thousand year Caliphate.

Mohammed Merah did not chase down a French-Jewish seven year old girl, put a gun to her head and pull the trigger because he came from an economically depressed area or any of the other media spin. He was only doing what Muslims had been doing to non-Muslims for over a thousand years. He didn't do what he did because he was "radicalized", he did it because he became a fully committed Muslim.

It won't end with taking down one man and it won't end with Jewish children. When your ideology believes that it is in a zero-sum struggle with the rest of the world and that membership means that you are a superior breed of human being because you worship the Fuhrer or Allah, then it won't stop. It won't ever stop. Not until the figurehead is toppled, the creed is humiliated and the supermen are shown to be cowards, neurotics, pedophiles, insecure men dressing up their weaknesses in power fantasies.

Between all the non-stop coverage, the expressions of grief, the political pandering, no one is stating the obvious. France has been occupied all over again. Once again the occupation has been carried out with the consent of the authorities who have decided that cowardice is the only way. Vichy France has become Vichy Europe, Vichy America, Vichy Australia, where the blatant appeasement is disguised as honor, treason is portrayed as responsible leadership and collaboration in the mass murder of your own people is never acknowledged as such.

  

The greatest gun salesman in America.

And the award goes to Barack Hussein Obama. (I personally don't use the word "president" in the same sentence as this Marxist/Socialist slime.)

The Greatest Gun Salesman In America: President Barack Obama

February 21, 2012 (From: ammo.net/obama ) American firearm sales and concealed handgun permit applications are at all-time highs since the 2008 election of President Barack Obama. President Obama's perceived hostility towards gun owners has been one of the key factors behind the multi-year financial boom the firearms industry continues to enjoy. In fact, the National Rifle Association (NRA) is actively preparing to work to defeat President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign, according to Wayne LaPierre, the CEO of the NRA, who recently said the following at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C.: "Lip service to gun owners is just part of a massive Obama conspiracy to deceive voters and hide his true intentions to destroy the Second Amendment during his second term. We see the president's strategy crystal clear: Get re-elected and, with no more elections to worry about, get busy dismantling and destroying our firearms' freedom, erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights and excise it from the U.S. Constitution...When the sun goes down on election day Barack Obama will have America’s gun owners to thank for his defeat.” - Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA, February 10th, 2012 Ironically, the perceived hostility towards gun owners by President Obama has actually helped the firearms industry tremendously. Since the 2008 election, more Americans than ever before are purchasing firearms & ammunition. This has meant massive increases in sales by firearm & ammunition makers, billions more in federal and state tax collections related to guns & ammo, increased membership in the NRA, and hundreds of thousands of new Americans carrying concealed handguns.  Therefore, should the firearms industry support President Obama for a second term or not?

Obama Preps for a ‘Non-Emergency’ Named Iran

Mar 18th, 2012 by TMH

From: The Noisy Room
http://noisyroom.net/blog/2012/03/18/obama-preps-for-a-non-emergency-named-iran/

On Friday, the 16th, Obama signed a new Executive Order into being and this one’s timing is very curious. Ed Morrissey (who I highly respect) of Hot Air says that it is simply a reissue of an EO that is 18 years old, that was issued in 1994 by Bill Clinton – EO (12919). I find myself mostly in agreement with Morrissey. The EO is vague and far-reaching. Basically Morrissey points out that it simply adds the DHS to the mix of departments and is apparently just an update.From Hot Air:

In fact, that’s almost entirely what it is. The original EO dealing with national defense resources preparedness was issued in 1939 (EO 8248) according to the National Archives. It has been superseded a number of times, starting in 1951 by nearly every President through Bill Clinton, and amended twice by George W. Bush.

I find the following to be of significant relevance:

Obama has added to Section 201(b) the phrase “under both emergency and non-emergency conditions.” In 12919, though, the duties of the Cabinet Secretaries were not limited to emergency situations in Section 201(b), either. And in both EOs, section 102 specifically notes that the EO is intended to ensure defense preparedness “in peacetime and in times of national emergency.”

So, is this a signal that Obama could use his powers during a ‘non-emergency?’ I would certainly not put it past him.

Take an in-depth look at it though, because it is a significant threat to our constitutional rights. It could open the way for ‘soft martial law.’ From Examiner.com:

On March 16th, President Obama signed a new Executive Order which expands upon a prior order issued in 1950 for Disaster Preparedness, and gives the office of the President complete control over all the resources in the United States in times of war or emergency.

The National Defense Resources Preparedness order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security. The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order’s functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.

And:

Additionally, each cabinet under the Executive Branch has been given specific powers when the order is executed, and include the absolute control over food, water, and other resource distributions.

That gives the President sweeping powers and should raise the alarm level in all Americans – those with a survival instinct any way.

When I first saw the Executive Order, it gave me great pause. In fact, my blood ran cold and I assumed that I was hearing that he was getting ready to declare martial law. I’m all for conspiracies, but let’s pick the right one. Not a feint to the right, when they are really dodging to the left (far left that is).

Ask yourself, why was this issued now and why this Executive Order? Three and a half years into Obama’s presidency… Nothing is what it seems in this administration, so let’s noodle on this shall we?

If you were a Progressive Marxist who was desperate to retain your hold on power in the Presidency and your numbers were dropping like a ten ton stone, what would you do? Ah, now we start looking for the real motivations here. If he follows history and the actions of past leaders, he would go to war if all else failed. Enter Iran. See the graphic below from STRATFOR:

Click here for a larger image…

Very, very interesting. This is STRATFOR’s Navel Update Map from March 14th, 2012. If you were a gambler, you would call this a strategic ‘tell.’ Watch the other hand. Observations from a friend on another forum:

There are now 5 US and French carriers postured for war with Iran. If the French have a helicopter carrier in the area…that would make 6.

Desert Storm naval power was launched from the decks of 4 US carriers. Four nuclear powered large carriers are present in the mix at this time. Plus “helicopter carriers” that carry full complements of Marines and enough jets for limited strikes or general fleet defense.

http://www.history.navy.mil/wars/dstorm/sword-shield.htm

Everyone (US and Anglo/Euro/Arab Allies) is moving Subs, Frigates, Destroyers, Cruisers, Mine Warfare Ships, and Mine Hunting Air assets into the region.

The Israeli Navy passed two of their 13 large surface combatants south through the Suez Canal this week, apparently escorting a French Fleet Resupply Vessel (1 of 4 the French possess). The Israeli ships included one of their three largest corvettes and an accompanying medium missile boat, making a movement into the Red Sea not seen since 2009, when they sent a pair of much smaller (and less capable) vessels through the Canal.

Purposes? Well, if a French supply vessel were carrying critically anticipated wartime replenishment for the nuclear powered French Carrier Charles DeGaulle…someone might think that ship required escort during a time of imminent hostilities. And if every other Allied escort vessel were already east of the Suez, somebody asked the Israelis for their help. Which might indicate a little more prior coordination between Israel and the US than is being admitted in public.

Of course, the Israelis may be moving the vessels to protect their Red Sea base at Eilat, but why would they need to…unless they anticipate fireworks? The Israeli vessels are primarily equipped as SAM and SSM mission craft. Plus the usual mix of ASW, EW, guns, torpedos, CIWS. Could be useful if you were going to tee off on Palestinian forces in the Sinai and anticipated the Egyptians disputing the action…

Of course if you had passed a Dolphin submarine or two through the Canal as part of that surface movement, you’d have your national nuclear deterrent / precision strike capability a lot closer to Iran and protected in waters dominated by the worlds largest friendly naval armada…wouldn’t you? In which case, the “escort” of the French vessel was merely cover for action…to actually escort Israeli strike capability to a better postured location.

Meanwhile, US naval activity with the remainder of our carriers is…busy. There is a high level of readiness, with several amphibious carriers currently visiting the Pacific or out to sea in the Atlantic accompanying 2 more super carriers actively conducting workups…as opposed to being tied up in port. Announced Exercises and training qualifications are happening at a busy pace…and have been for the last month or so. If war comes, this country is postured to put 7-8 nuclear carriers against the problem. That’s a fairly high rate of readiness during more normal times.

In other words, US carrier availability is at about the highest potential level of availability as is possible. Everything that can sail is postured to do so or already off our coasts. No accident.
Meanwhile, the US continues to apply pressure to Iran’s economic carotid artery...

Everything fits together if you look at it right. Syria, Israel, Iran, the US… Obama is not incompetent, he does everything for a reason. He’s getting ready to dance in the Middle East, but he’s not doing it for our friend and ally Israel. No, he’s in reelection mode and he wants a whole bevy of issues swept under the carpet and a war is the perfect distraction. I don’t think he has any intention of ‘winning’ it – this is just so he can finish what he started in the US – ‘change’ the Marxist way that is.

I believe that World War III has already begun. This war will not just be Iran and the US – it will be a World War with allies on both sides of the aisle. Guess which side Russia, China, Venezuela and N. Korea will be on? This could well be not only a cyber war, but a nuclear war. Do not fool yourself into thinking that we will be safe from the war because we have an ocean between ‘us’ and ‘them.’ That is no longer true.

So why issue an EO that was already out there, merely updated with new agencies and the inclusion of non-emergency situations? My take, he’s getting everything organized for a non-emergency named Iran. With the chaos of the American Spring coming, Depression economics in place with high unemployment, inflation and an eminent stock market crash, the timing will be perfect this fall to go to war and bring the top down on America. But don’t worry, they’ll at least call it an emergency… You know just so they can finally be rid of that old, dusty document called the Constitution.

Obama issues Executive Order to create the American Gulag.

Here is the game plan for our future collective work farms, our very own American Gulags. The Muslim in Chief and avid follower and student of everything that has ever dealt with Socialism, Marxism and Communism has just issued his latest Executive Order that establishes the right of the Federal government to take full control of the U.S. economy and our work force in peacetime and transform it all into a government run collective. We are looking right into the eyes of a totalitarian dictatorship, people, and the fate of our Republic hangs in the balance. The upcoming elections in November are the last hope for America to rid ourselves from this cancer. Did anyone think that those concentration camps that the U.S. Army called detention centers, you recall the one's they posted the job bulletins for, were going to be for vacations?
