The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That's the best way to describe Republican Congressman Allen West, a real conservative. Very few patriots like Allen West have stood up and spoken the truth as he has.

  

There is an old saying that goes, You can tell about a person by the friends they keep. Well you can also tell about a person by their enemies, too. Allen West, Republican Congressman from Florida, has a long list of very powerful enemies, and they are my enemies, too. And they all want to remove him from Congress. We know that every pro-communist, pro-Muslim, Marxist/Socialist leftist in America is gunning for Allen West because of his outspoken positions on who and what is the greatest threat to America. That's why I have strongly supported his reelection campaign and hope anyone who reads this will do the same. I just received this email from another group supporting Allen West and thought I should share it with you.

Thanks,

Nelson Abdullah

Please read this special message from BAMPAC.

Dear Patriot, Congressman Allen West is in the fight of his life and he needs our help. Liberal Republicans and liberal Democrats have teamed up to defeat America's best Congressman. Will please make a special generous contribution of $35, $50, $100, $250 or more to help reelect Congressman Allen West? Here is what Allen is up against: The liberal GOP establishment first redrew Allen's district to make it more liberal. These same liberals then recruited a left-wing "Republican in Name Only" to run against him in the primary. Then, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama made Allen their number one target for defeat in the House of Representatives this year and recruited a tough, well-funded Democrat opponent. Bill Maher, the "comedian" who is one of Barack Obama's biggest donors, is even getting involved. He just called Congressman Allan West an APE! Now both the RINOs and every crazy left-wing group in America are gunning for Allen West. That's why BAMPAC is going all out to support our good friend. We are going to pay for phone banks, ads, mailings and whatever Allan needs in order to make sure he wins this primary and gets reelected this fall. However, I need your help. And I need it now. Allen's primary is just weeks away and the Republican establishment would love to get him out of Congress. Please click here to make the most generous contribution you can to help reelect Allen West. No other incumbent conservative congressman is facing this kind of opposition. He is fighting both the liberal Republicans and the liberal Democrats! At the same time! Allen would probably refer to this as a two front war. And I'm sure he's relishing this fight. However, he can't win both the primary and the general election against such opposition without help. And that is where BAMPAC comes in. BAMPAC is one of the top 25 PACs in the country. We provide the funding and other campaign support that conservative candidates need. Especially when they are under attack. We ONLY support REAL conservatives. And Allen West is about as real as they come. That's why both the Republican political establishment and Barack Obama want him gone. And they are doing everything they possibly can to defeat this brave man. Please help Congressman West. Make the most generous contribution you possibly can to BAMPAC's campaign to support Allen West. But please act quickly. Allen is fighting a nasty RINO opponent in his primary and we have to help him now. Sincerely, Alvin Williams President and CEO Copyright 2011 Black America's Political Action Committee

Best definition of why the 2nd Amendment was really written.

We have all read the immortal words “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” - this is the 2nd Amendment to the United States Constitution and it is the most important of all the Amendments because it is the one Amendment that protects them all. How many of us have analyzed what these words mean, what do they mean exactly? The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is known as the Right to Bear Arms but some people incorrectly believe it was written to protect hunting. I have always believed it was to protect the right of the people to own guns for self defense but three days ago I learned what the real purpose of the 2nd Amendment was. Ben Swann is a commentator and journalist for the local Fox News television station (Broadcast channel 19 in Newport, Kentucky) who does a segment called Reality Check. Watch this video of Reality Check and listen to his explanation. After the intro piece comment by the actor known as Ice-T, Ben Swann explains that the armed militia was to oppose any tyranny from the Federal government should it stray beyond the confines of the Constitution. And that is what the reference to the phrase " being necessary to the security of a free State " is all about.

 

Tyrants, and wannabe tyrants like Barack Hussein Obama, who feels that Congress isn't necessary to write the laws he issues by decree, fear an armed population and that is why they always move to disarm the people before creating their dictatorships. Americans are a freedom loving people and most recognize that the practical purpose of gun ownership is for self protection - protection of home, family and community. The tragedy that took place this week in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado was not so much that a man took guns into the theater to kill innocent people but that law-abiding citizens complied with the "no-guns allowed" policy and were unable to defend themselves. And as a natural consequence to the tragedy, almost every Democrat has since tried to take advantage of the tragedy to call for new, more restrictive gun laws. "I also believe a lot of gun owners would agree that AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers, not in the hands of criminals, that they belong on the battlefield of war, not on the streets of our cities." --Barack Obama said after the shooting. What he failed to note was that every citizen is a soldier because that is what a militia is: citizen soldiers.

In any election year most politicians are very cautious about calling for an outright ban on guns but this year, the most crucial election year in the war to save our Republic, Obama and his leftist Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, are negotiating a new Small Arms Treaty with the United Nations that would regulate the private ownership of handguns and rifles. Regulation means to register, tax and necessitate a permit to own which would soon be followed by confiscation - disarming the citizen militia that would oppose the tyranny of a dictatorial government. 

The outcome of the elections in November will determine the future of America. It is of the utmost importance to remove the Democrats who have worked so hard to destroy this great country. It it crucial to elect a veto-proof Republican controlled Congress and a Republican president. Anything less may soon lead to outright civil war.

CBS News provides some critical answers to questions about the Colorado shooting - and then asks the big question.

   

Tonight's (7-23-12) edition of CBS News with Scott Pelly revealed some new details about James Holmes, the suspect in the Aurora, Colorado movie theater massacre. According to CBS News, within the past few months James Holmes spent over $14,000 on weapons and ammunition and assorted tactical gear along with the ingredients for his elaborate bombs and booby traps. Of that $14,000 in purchases, Holmes had already paid off some $11,000 of the debt. What's more, James Holmes' only source of income was a monthly stipend of $1700 that he was receiving from the National Institute for Health as part of his PHD program. Then, the correspondent concluded, "They are going to have to follow the money." 

The transcript for tonight's broadcast is not available yet on the CBS News web site but the video segment will probably be up by tomorrow as the web site has previous editions for viewing.

In addition to the remarkable admission about the money, CBS News showed video of James Holmes' first appearance in the courtroom today. He appeared totally dazed and out of touch as if he was still recovering from a mega drug and booze party. Considering that the shooting spree took place almost three days ago, one can only wonder how much he was in control of himself when he was arrested. In the courtroom today James Holmes didn't appear as if he could hold a pen yet how could he have handled some high tech semi-automatic rifles and pistols. Then again there was the report from an unidentified witness who saw someone inside the movie theater open an emergency exit door and let Holmes into the theater just before the shooting.

I don't ordinarily write about civilian crime on this blog but last Saturday I wrote about the possibility that LSD was being used to make ordinary people commit horrendous acts of violence. That post, Experimenting in mind control. What could be the benefits of such an insidious plan? made a very brief reference to the Central Intelligence Agency conducting just such experiments. Today I discovered the complete story on the web site How Stuff Works in a mind-boggling 4-page long article,  Did the CIA test LSD on unsuspecting Americans? written by Josh Clark. Just quoting from a single paragraph gives you an inside look:

So one could consider the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) cruel for administering LSD to an unknown number of unsuspecting Americans during the 1950s and '60s. The agency conducted clandestine experiments on college students, drug addicts, veterans, soldiers, sailors, johns, mental patients, at least one young mother and a jazz singer. For a time, the drug was so prevalent in the CIA, agents dosed one another for fun. And for a punch line, the heyday of 1960s counterculture -- including its subversion of the establishment -- was preceded and directly created by the CIA's acid tests.

While something that took place 50-60 years ago may seem outdated, the article then mentions a more current part of the story.

When the Sandoz supply became known, the United States moved to take it off the market. It turned out Sandoz had manufactured only about 40,000 doses. The United States bought them anyway. And with the LSD in their possession, military researchers and the CIA began conducting their own experiments.

In 1975, Congress held inquiries into the clandestine operation known as MKULTRA, the code name for an umbrella operation covering 149 subprojects. Most of these were involved with exploring new methods of chemical and psychological warfare. The Church Committee, the Senate group that held the inquiry, learned little about the details of the operations. The CIA maintained its standard silence -- files had been destroyed, new directors had no knowledge of old projects.

Two years later, the skeleton that was MKULTRA in the CIA's closet emerged entirely. A Freedom of Information act request filed by a journalist turned up several boxes of materials that escaped destruction but were overlooked during the Church inquiry. A second Congressional inquiry was held into MKULTRA in 1977. Information on 149 MKULTRA subprojects was unearthed -- from learning to deliver poisons using magicians' sleight of hand to electroshock therapy as a means of making an unwilling subject talk [source: Turner].

If the mind-control experiments conducted by the CIA did prove useful, then what about the possibility that there have been some clandestine selective applications in recent years to create some useful public uproar to gain acceptance to unpopular government initiatives? Too many big words in there. Let me rephrase that. Suppose some unethical leftist politicians wanted to make Gun Control more acceptable to the general public and found it useful to have a small handful of ordinary people go out and commit some very horrendous crimes with guns? That little scenario could have come right out of Hollywood but it would explain a lot of the missing details and also would explain a few of what is already known. So the questions raised by Mike Adams who writes at Natural News, in the post I published yesterday Sunday, July 22, 2012,  Curious questions that the mainstream news media haven't asked about the Colorado shooting  would account for the detailed training required in the elaborate booby trapped bombs found in James Holmes' apartment and the money he spent on the tactical equipment used in the movie theater.

Yes, as CBS News mentioned at the conclusion of their coverage, "They are going to have to follow the money."

And, Yes, the news is full of talk today about the need for more gun control. Now isn't it coincidental that the United Nations Small Arms Treaty is just now getting underway?

UPDATE 7-24-2012, Fox News web site has this:

The first responder who spoke to Fox News on condition of anonymity said the gunman began the attack by tossing tear gas canisters into the theater, then firing his 12-gauge shotgun at the ceiling before turning it on the crowd.

Other details, according to the source:

 -- After the gun jammed, the gunman walked out of the theater through the door he'd entered and was removing his body armor beside his car when he was confronted by the officers who took him down, the source said, adding that the gunman seemed surprised authorities arrived so quickly.

So who opened the door and let him in? This corroborates what the anonymous eye-witness said about seeing someone open the emergency exit door and letting him in.   

 

 

Things that make America great. Just having a day dream here folks.

  

This idea has been given wide distribution via emails from conservatives and while it has been officially debunked it still has great popular acceptance. A simpler version came in the form of a proposed 28th Amendment to the Constitution that said:  "Congress shall make no laws that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States".

Maybe it ought to placed on the back burner for awhile until after the next American Revolution when the people finally reclaim their government. I am not sure though if it should wait until before or after the treason trials, but that is a minor point.

*Congressional Reform Act of 2012*

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office!

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security . All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose!

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5.Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 1/1/13. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

  

Obama begins to write his own laws and apparently, has no further need for Congress or the U.S. Constitution.

     

Rule by decree is every wannabe dictators ultimate exercise in authority. When they are allowed to get away with it the next thing you hear is that they have dissolved their useless law-making body. We have already seen Barack Hussein Obama write new laws by simply issuing an Executive Order, in fact he even threatened Congress that he would do so if they didn't pass the laws that he wanted. Now, Obama has taken a new step by changing existing laws by simply writing a memo. He must be too busy planning his vacations and golf excursions to formulate an official Executive Order. So writing a memo is a lot quicker. Those spineless Republicans who hold the majority in the House of Representatives are not raising any complaints and by remaining silent they are rendering themselves on the endangered species list.

 


Obama Ignores Rule Of Law: AGAIN

 How many laws can a President openly defy before he must be referred to as a tyrant and a felon? President Barrack Hussien Obama has once again gone rogue; he is ignoring congressionally mandated laws and is ruling by fiat.  Our entire system of checks and balances has broken down.  With the ashes of the Constitution at his feet, Comrade Obama has ushered in a Marxist state. 

This time President Obama has decided that those on Welfare should not have to work.  Therefore, he unilaterally and illegally gutted provisions from the 1996 welfare bill with a simple memorandum.  He is not even bothering to use Executive Orders anymore!  How long until he issues his fiats from a throne room rather than the Oval Office? 

Obama’s latest command came in the form of a memorandum issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).  This memorandum, dated July 12, 2012, effectively guts the work requirements found in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) legislation passed in 1996.  This move will put more people on welfare and is an attempt by Obama to buy off the American people so he can win the next Presidential election.  It is despicable, illegal, and tyrannical.  He must be stopped.  We must immediately demand a Congressional investigation into the President’s actions.  They are illegal and must be overturned by Congress. 

The TANF legislation is what most people colloquially refer to as welfare.  Welfare legislation in this country currently costs taxpayers nearly a TRILLION dollars every single year.  We pay people not to work and we wonder why our economy is in the toilet.  TANF was passed in 1996 after a hard fought battle in Congress and was signed into law by President Clinton.  It has been administered by HHS ever since.

Without getting bogged down the legislative details, TANF requires that at least half of each state’s welfare participants work at least 30 hours a week.  There a various exemptions to the law, but that is gist.  This information can be found in 42 U.S.C. 1315 section 407 under the title “Mandatory Work Requirements”.

Section 1115 of the legislation is where the trouble begins.  In section 1115 there is language that allows for selected provisions of TANF to be waived by state government under certain circumstances.  However, ONLY THE SECTIONS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN SECTION 1115 MAY BE WAIVED.  Section 1115 only lists one section with such waiver authority: section 402. Section 407 is not mentioned.
            
If Congress had intended that section 407 contain the section 1115 waiver authority, they would have specifically listed it in that section AS REQUIRED BY THE LAW.

 Our imperialist President argues that section 402 gives him the authority to waive welfare work requirements.  For a law professor, he sure is clueless when it comes to the law.  Section 402 deals only with state reporting requirements.  It has NOTHING to do with the mandatory work requirement language found five sections later.  His argument is pure fantasy and do not make his action any less illegal.

 Rep. David Camp (R-MI), Chairman of the House Ways and Means committee, stated “This is a brazen and unwarranted unraveling of welfare reform…this ends welfare reform as we know it.”  This is just another example of President Obama ignoring the Constitution and taking power that is not his to administer.  We are living in a truly frightening time for democracy.  This power monger MUST BE STOPPED.

Outside of the various legal and constitutional items at play here, there are also economic and political issues that must be addressed.  First off, destroying the work requirement will add millions of people who will be receiving government support.  President Obama has already increased our debt by $5 TRILLION in just 3 years!!!  That number is larger than the debt increase under President George W. Bush and was in office for eight years!

Do you think our economy can handle the strain of more mouths to feed?  Perhaps that is why Democrats are balking at reauthorizing the Bush era tax cuts.  The Congressional Budget Office has said that allowing the tax cuts to sunset will make America fall of a “fiscal cliff”.  But Democrats and liberals don’t care about facts and figures; they just want more power so that they can take more of your money, your rights, and your freedom.

This is clearly a political move by Obama and his liberal cronies.  The more people there are on welfare and in need of government assistance, the more votes for Obama and the rest of his freedom hating compatriots.

As we have shown, this plan by Obama will further erode the US economy.  Beyond that, if Obama is allowed to proceed, then the demarcation line between the Executive and Cameral branches will be unconstitutionally blurred.  HE MUST BE STOPPED.  We desperately need Congress to hear your voice. Time is short.

President Obama is becoming more and more brazen in his attempts to undercut Congressional authority.  He is ignoring the rule of law nearly across the board on issues for which he disagrees.  He seems to believe that he has the right to ignore laws he doesn’t like so that he can move his agenda forward regardless of what the American people have expressed through their legislators in Congress.

President Obama is a clear and present threat to liberty and the Constitution.  We must have your voice telling Congress to stop him.  His actions show a man who is clearly looking to mute Congress and take their power for himself.  If Congress doesn’t stop him now, how will they stop him later?  Save our Constitution, our rights, and our economy today; fax Congress and demand a special Congressional investigation.

Sincerely,

Tony Adkins

 

I refuse to honor the imposter in the White House as president and do not use the words 'president' and 'Obama' in the same sentence. I cannot understand why his vocal opponents bestow this honor on such a despicable person.

Curious questions that the mainstream news media haven't asked about the Colorado shooting.

  

Raise a few concerns about the spread of radical Islam and you get labeled as an Islamophobe. Ask more questions about the hate-filled book called the Koran and you get labeled as a bigot. Don't bother to look at the facts, nobody is interested in being bored with the details. That is the successful logic being applied by the moronic leftists to keep people ignorant. That is also the reason why journalists in America have lost their sense of curiosity. Take the shooting in Aurora, Colorado for example. No one in the news media is looking at the known facts and asking about the specifics - like where did the money come from to purchase all that extensive weaponry, ammunition, bomb-making material, tactical gear that included bullet-proof vests, and the training to put it all together. James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter who reportedly opened fire killing 12 people and wounding 58 more, apparently was an unemployed medical student at the University of Colorado, pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, reports ABC News.

Well, actually, someone did start asking those questions but he wasn't part of the mainstream news media, he was another blogger. His name is Mike Adams and he writes on the web site NaturalNews.com under the byline, The Health Ranger. Here are a few questions he has raised.

Quoting from the NaturalNews.com web site

There is already conjecture that James Holmes may have been involved in mind-altering neuroscience research and ended up becoming involved at a depth he never anticipated. His actions clearly show a strange detachment from reality, indicating he was not in his right mind. That can only typically be accomplished through drugs, hypnosis or trauma (and sometimes all three).

 Quoting from the New York City CBS News web site

"He said pictures from inside the apartment are fairly disturbing and the devices look to be sophisticated, adding the booby-traps were 'something I've never seen.' One rifle, two handguns, a knife, a bullet proof vest, a ballistic helmet, a gas device, a gas mask, military SWAT clothing and unidentified explosives were also found in Holmes' car, a law enforcement source told CBS News. Oates said Holmes wore a gas mask, a ballistic helmet and vest as well as leg, groin and throat protectors during the shooting."

In Mike Adams' own words: "In other words, this guy was equipped with exotic gear by someone with connections to military equipment. SWAT clothing, explosives, complex booby-traps... c'mon, this isn't a "lone gunman." This is somebody who was selected for a mission, given equipment to carry it out, then somehow brainwashed into getting it done." Now why can't some of our well-paid journalists ask the same thing?

"Aurora Police Chief Dan Oates said Holmes' apartment is booby-trapped with a 'sophisticated' maze of flammable devices. It could take hours or days for authorities to disarm it," reports Yahoo News (http://sg.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/suspect-neuroscience-phd-stu...).

Quoting from a Denver, Colorado CBS News web site

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) – Officials say they have removed all major threats at the booby-trapped apartment of the Aurora movie theater shooting suspect on Saturday.

Aurora authorities obtained still pictures and video of the inside of the suspect’s apartment at 1690 Paris Street. They have used a robot to go inside James Holmes’ apartment.

Cassidee Carlson with Aurora police said Saturday morning crews were successful disabling the first threat in the apartment. They were able to disable a trip wire that was set to go off when the apartment door was opened.

“This is some serious stuff that our team is dealing with,” Carlson said.

Shortly before noon crews were successful performing a controlled detonation. It blew out what remained of a window and frame of the apartment. More controlled detonations were possible.

According to a source familiar with the case, there were multiple “trip” wires throughout the apartment. Investigators have also seen what appear to be mortars planted in the apartment — sort of the kind of mortars that might be seen in a commercial fireworks show. Up to a half dozen of them are scattered around.

Additionally, they have seen a number of inflated balloons in the apartment, like party balloons — some on the ground, some suspended in the air with many appearing to be filled with a powder. The balloons — at least five or six of them — appear to be linked together.

Also linked together are bottles of liquid. Officials say there is a strong smell of gasoline emanating from the apartment. Authorities have also spotted several boxes on top of the refrigerator and there are lights flashing on the boxes.

Investigators believe there are some 30 aerial shells (fireworks) commercially legally available for purchase. They are the size of softballs, black in color, and made of mostly rubber and investigators suspect the suspect may have filled them with smokeless powder. Depending on how he packaged it and how adept he was they could detonate or just burn.

Officials believe entering the apartment would have caused a trip wire to trigger one liquid container to pour/mix with another. When the two mix together, they set off the main charge of the device which may be additional flammable liquids. That causes the explosion and rapid spread of fire.

But the two best questions Mike Adams has raised are these: "How does an unemployed medical student afford $20,000 in weapons gear?" and "Where does an unemployed, introverted medical school student get the training to deploy sophisticated booby traps, tactical body armor, weapons systems and more? Certainly not in graduate school!" As a shooting enthusiast myself I know how expensive it is to buy ammunition. And most tactical gear is only sold to police departments. 

Going back to the news on the Internet, Mr. Adams quotes from the British news web site, Daily Mail  

An article posted on Sunday by the Daily Mail reveals Holmes had a "'mind-boggling' stash of ammunition" and "three types of explosives were found - jars filled with accelerates, chemicals that would explode when mixed together and more than 30 improvised grenades." This further adds to the financial cost tally of what it took to put all this together. 

And another quote from The Wall Street Journal web site

The Wall Street Journal is also now reporting: "the suspect bought four guns over the past 60 days, and over the Internet bought 3,000 rounds for an assault rifle, 3,000 rounds for Glock handguns and about 300 shotgun rounds. The suspect also had a 100-round drum-style magazine for the assault rifle that would have allowed him to fire 50 to 60 rounds a minute."

Then he adds up the cost of this arsenal: 

 " Note: Some readers have questioned the $20,000 figure estimated here, saying this gear could have been acquired for only $10,000 or so. I doubt that, as all the extras that you need to effectively run these guns cost a lot of money: training courses, spare magazines, etc. Just a decent AR-15 battle sight (a holographic red dot sight) can run $1,000 - $2,000. Search "ACOG" if you don't believe me. It is also reported that Holmes bought 6,000 rounds of ammo, which definitely isn't cheap either, especially given that we now know half of those rounds were rifle rounds. It's clear this guy was spending big bucks. Whether it's $10k or $20k isn't really that much of a point."

And guess what? Immediately after the shooting, leading Democrat politicians have begun talking about gun control as a necessary means to bring an end to things like this. How convenient. And just on the eve of the United Nation's Small Arms Treaty conference. The same treaty being endorsed by left-wing Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama. So on the one hand we have the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, a Democrat appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, arranging the sale of guns to Mexico drug cartels which then get used to kill Brian Terry, a Border Patrol agent all for the purpose of convincing the public that we need more gun control. Then we have unemployed medical students suddenly purchasing tens of thousands of dollars worth of police tactical gear and a huge arsenal of weapons bombs and ammunition and technical training to build sophisticated bombs and booby traps and once again the Democrats begin mouthing off about how badly we need gun control. The only thing the Democrats need gun registration for is to come by later and confiscate them. Then, when they have disarmed the public they can institute their full blown totalitarian takeover of America.

I think people ought to begin asking the same questions as Mike Adams. I want to ask one more. What kind of mind-altering drugs does it take to change an ordinary person into a homicidal maniac? Possibly the LSD I wrote about yesterday?

My name is Nelson Abdullah and I am Oldironsides. And I want to tip my hat to Mike Adams.

Time to start putting out those fires and when will our leaders acknowledge that Islam is a serious threat?

    

Imagine for a moment that you have been woken up from a good sleep in the middle of the night by a loud, frantic pounding on your front door. When you finally open the door you see a stranger standing there and he tells you he sees smoke pouring out of your attic roof and he thinks your house is on fire. What would be your first reaction to this alarming news? Oh, you ask the stranger if he is a fireman. He tells you he is not. You then tell him that if he is not a fireman than how can he be qualified to determine there is a fire. You close the door and go back to sleep.

Believe it or not that seems to be the common reaction to people who try to raise an alarm about a growing crisis in our country. Some call it political correctness, some just call it blind stupidity. Some suspect that the fires are left untended so that the houses will burn down for the insurance claim. Unfortunately, in many of those fires innocent people are loosing their lives.

So now that you have learned this lesson why do you continue to ignore the alarms about Islam? Why do you believe that some courageous Republican members of Congress have raised false alarms about a sinister influence by a person with close connections to an acknowledged evil group called The Muslim Brotherhood? Yeah, its that Political Correctness thing again. Or is it that some people who are denying the problem exists are so close to the evil themselves that they cannot see it for what it is? There is that old analogy about seeing the forest for the trees. Some are standing so close to the tree that they cannot see the forest. Then again, some people are too afraid to acknowledge the truth about evil. They lack the backbone to stand up and resist it because it would make their lives too difficult and complicated. They would rather quiver like jellyfish than stand up like men. Or maybe there is a more insidious reason for their denials. Maybe they are hoping their house can burn down so they can collect the insurance. Who cares if there are other people living there.

The facts are undeniable. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has a Deputy Chief of Staff named Huma Abedin whose mother Saleha Mahmood Abedin, served in a leadership role of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de facto version of The Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of al Qaida. Huma’s father, Professor Syed Abiden, was the founder of the Institute for Minority Affairs, a Saudi group that “had the quiet but active support” of Umar Abdallah Nasif, the secretary general of the Muslim World League. However, WND was first to report an even more direct connection to the terror-stained charity – Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was the official representative of the Muslim World League in the 1990s. The Muslim World League is an Islamic charity known to have spawned terrorist groups, including one declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front. We have read the story about the initial event that caused leftist Sen. John McCain to attack Rep. Michele Bachmann was a letter that she, along with Representatives Trent Franks, Louie Gohmert, Thomas Rooney, and Lynn Westmoreland, sent to the Inspectors General (IGs) of the Departments of State; Justice; Homeland Security; Defense and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. In those letters they asked for investigations into the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood within these agencies. The letter is filled with facts that cannot be disputed. Here is a reprint of that letter from Congresswoman Bachmann's web site. Click the link to read it. http://bachmann.house.gov/uploadedfiles/ig_letter_dhs.pdf but there is more. Here is another view from the Australian web site, Winds of Jihad.

 

Huma Abedin’s Mother and her Muslim Sisterhood Agenda

by SHEIKYERMAMI on JULY 22, 2012

Nonie Darwish/Frontpage

Too close for comfort: Shrillary with radical Muslim Sisterhood founding member Saleha Mahmood Abedin.

Huma Abedin, Secretary Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, could be the nicest woman with the greatest character, but that is not the issue nor should it be a reason to prevent ny inquiry into her family background and connection to the Muslim Brotherhood. Instead of attacking Representative Bachmann for raising important questions regarding Muslim Brotherhood penetration of the US government, the response from the media and Senator McCain should have been a statement to the effect that Abedin has already been vetted and has a sound security clearance. But instead, the response was: “How dare you, Michele Bachmann!”

Now let us examine Huma’s mother’s history and activities. Dr. Saleha Mahmood Abedin has been identified in Saudi Arabia as one of the founding members of the Muslim Sisterhood, a Muslim Brotherhood women’s group. This is the same group that half of Egypt was too scared to vote for and that was criminalized for many decades in Egypt for its subversiveness and terror activities.  Dr. Abedin is no ordinary Muslim woman, but an activist who supports Sharia law. She is also a long-time chairperson of the “International Islamic Committee for Woman and Child” (IICWC). Now let us examine what that group is doing in Egypt today and why many Egyptians are afraid of its activities and are strongly denouncing it.

The last elections in Egypt have proved that half of Egypt is afraid of the Muslim Brotherhood and does not want to live under Sharia, but that is not the same concern of Abedin’s organization (IICWC), which is advocating Sharia law.  The IICW contributed greatly to fear of its agenda after a recent publication in Arabic on its website. The following topics were discussed, among others, suggesting the annulment of Egyptian moderate laws, which would be replaced by Sharia laws. Below are some of the positions that appeared in the IICWC publication:

• The IICWC position that the current laws criminalizing female genital mutilation be revoked.
• The IICWC’s position demanding that the laws forbidding child marriage below the age of eighteen be revoked. No new minimum marriage age was given; the group stated that the marriage standard depends on the financial and mental ability and not dependent on a specific age.
• The IICWC’s positions, as reported, demanding that the laws forbidding marital rape be revoked and that polygamy is a right for men.
• The IICWC’s position that a health check-up before marriage be revoked since it is against religion and should not be part of the marriage contract.
• The IICWC’s position that criminal responsibility triggering at age 18 be reduced to age 15.
• The IICWC’s position revokes the right of a woman to register her newborn by herself for a birth certificate because Sharia states that a child’s lineage is given strictly to the father and his paternal line. The child belongs to the father even if it was the product of adultery.
• The IICWC’s position revokes the criminalization of physical and mental abuse of parents against children, so long as the punishment does not cause a permanent deformity or the beating is too extreme.

Above are the values that Huma Abedin’s mother believes in and that her organization is trying to impose on the Egyptian public after the revolution. Huma did not keep a distance from her mother’s activities when she introduced Secretary Clinton to her activist mother. During Clinton’s visit to Saudi Arabia, the US Secretary of State visited and spoke at the Islamic college of Dar El-Hekma together with Huma, where Dr. Saleha Abedin was a vice-dean and one of its founders.

All of the above scare the reformists in Egypt and does not look good for our Secretary of State. As a consequence of such appearances, to say the least, several Egyptian reformists have recently accused Secretary Clinton of taking the side of the Muslim Brotherhood in the recent elections. Even the appalling mob protest against Clinton in Alexandria Egypt was done mainly by those who accused her of being on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood.

When it comes to politics, appearances do count and Huma and Clinton’s defenders need to understand that. Rep. Bachmann and her colleagues should be applauded for pushing the alarm button, not just regarding Abedin, but regarding many others in our government, to alert us all to a possible security threat from the Muslim Brotherhood and the “civilization jihad” they aspire for in America.

More and more comes to light:

By Aaron Klein at WND:

Saleha Mahmood Abedin, the mother of Hillary Clinton’s chief of staff, reportedly served in the women’s division of the Muslim Brotherhood alongside the wife of Egypt’s new president, the Brotherhood’s Mohammed Mursi.

WND previously exposed Abedin represented a Muslim charity known to have spawned terror groups, including one declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front.

WND also reported Clinton spoke at Abedin’s Saudi women’s college, where she was introduced by Abedin alongside the Islamic activist’s daughter, Huma, who serves as Clinton’s chief of staff. At the speech, Clinton praised Saleha’s “pioneering work.”

Huma Abedin is also the mother-in-law of disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y.

Now, author Walid Shoebat is reporting that while she acted as one of 63 leaders of the Muslim Sisterhood, the de facto female version of the Muslim Brotherhood, Saleha Abedin served alongside Najla Ali Mahmoud, the wife of Mursi. Both were members of the Sisterhood’s Guidance Bureau, found Shoebat.

Saleha Mahmood Abedin

Saleha Mahmood Abedin is an associate professor of sociology at Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which she helped to create. She formerly directed the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs in the U.K. and served as a delegate for the Muslim World League, an Islamic fundamentalist group Osama bin Laden reportedly told an associate was one of his most important charity fronts.

In February 2010, Clinton spoke at Abedin’s college, where she was first introduced by Abedin and then praised the work of the terror-tied professor:

“I have to say a special word about Dr. Saleha Abedin,” Clinton said. “You heard her present the very exciting partnerships that have been pioneered between colleges and universities in the United States and this college. And it is pioneering work to create these kinds of relationships.

Huma Abedin

“But I have to confess something that Dr. Abedin did not,” Clinton continued, “and that is that I have almost a familial bond with this college. Dr. Abedin’s daughter, one of her three daughters, is my deputy chief of staff, Huma Abedin, who started to work for me when she was a student at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.”

As WND was first to report, Abedin once reportedly represented the Muslim World League, or MWL, a Saudi-financed charity that has spawned Islamic groups accused of terror ties. One of the groups was declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front.

Abedin has been quoted in numerous press accounts as both representing the MWL and serving as a delegate for the charity.

Muslim Sister Brotherhood: Hillary Clinton’ Aide Tied to Al-Qaida Front Group

Charges made in a 16-page letter by Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., against longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin miss what may be one of the most troubling radical connections – Abedin’s family is directly tied to the Muslim World League.

Experimenting in mind control. What could be the benefits of such an insidious plan?

There are, for the sake of argument, some very practical uses for mind control. Basically, you take an ordinary, sane, well-adjusted and reasonably intelligent person with decent morals and make them do a horrendous, unconscionable act. In other words, turn them into a mindless robot. Maybe even a mass murderer. There have been several events in the past few years that make me suspect this could happen, such as the attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, Arizona but the recent shooting in a Colorado movie theater has brought them to the forefront. I am not offering an excuse for what happened in Aurora, Colorado but I will incorporate that event into my analysis. The major exception to this argument is the fact that many incidents of mass-murder have been committed on American soil by people who have a complete hatred for America such as the Islamic terrorist attack on 9-11-2001 and a few other foiled plots of equal terror also planned by followers of the cult of Islam. These people who participated in these acts had their own form of mind-control that didn't rely on drugs, they had their Koran.

Step back a few years and recall the apparent suicide of former Secretary of Defense James V. Forrestal who jumped to his death from his 16th floor room in Bethesda Naval Hospital on May 22, 1949. There still rages a controversy over the government coverup because the autopsy results have never been released. Books have been written on the subject and numerous hits come up on Google and there is even a passage about it on Wikipedia. Two years before James Forrestal committed suicide a new mind-altering drug called LSD was introduced. Wikipedia has this additional information which also makes a curious reference. I have included the hyperlinks to the footnotes for additional reference.

Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories, with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various psychiatric uses in 1947, LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise.^[8] In the 1950s, officials at the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) thought the drug might be applicable to mind control and chemical warfare; the agency's MKULTRA research program propagated the drug among young servicemen and students.

One of the more complete stories on the death of James Forrestal can be read here in the article entitled:  Who Killed James Forrestal? Was There A Cover-up? Read the article for yourself and examine the known evidence and the suspicions that still remain. Several years ago, before the Internet was born and few people had the ability to do in-depth research, I read about how some people had suspected that James Forrestal had been given LSD which caused him to sustain severe psychiatric delusions that resulted in his suicide. Forrestal had his enemies and it could have been one of the first uses of this new drug to accomplish a practical field experiment.

So what does this have to do with anything today? Today we are living in a country where draconian laws are being written that could have a catastrophic effect on our population. We have a government so far to the left that they have constructed concentration camps for American citizens. These concentration camps are being called "internment centers" and the U.S. Army has even posted job bulletins for soldiers who want to work there. We have a government so close to being a dictatorship that they have declared patriotic Americans to be potential terrorists. We have a government so bent on being totalitarian that they have written laws claiming the authority to deprive ordinary American citizens of their Constitutional freedom and their right to a trial - in fact, the controversial provisions of the most recent National Defense Authorization Act say the government can arrest and detain indefinitely anyone it feels to be a threat to our nation's leaders. We have a government who now flies the same Predator drones over American skies that are being used in the war in Afghanistan to spy on and kill Islamic terrorists.  We have a government who issues training orders to Army personnel that when they are called on will no longer fire warning shots at dissident Americans - they will shoot to kill. And they post questionnaires asking soldiers if they would shoot and kill fellow Americans.  But how are they going to get people to carry out their orders and do these things?

The question that ties all of this together is this: What would it take to get our American soldiers to shoot and kill a fellow American on U.S. soil? What could possibly make a patriotic soldier who has taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America to throw away all of his morals and character to commit murder. Is there any difference between a soldier who is told to follow such horrible orders and a college student who commits mass-murder for no reason in a movie theater?  If necessary, would it require some form of artificial mind-control drug to get them to obey such draconian orders? How about a few more experiments to see how effective these drugs could be. Take any ordinary person and see how far you can make them go to do these unthinkable acts.

My name is Nelson Abdullah and I am Oldironsides. I believe in the America created by our Founding Fathers and the Constitution they gave us. And I believe in the Ten Commandments handed down by God to Moses.

No taxation by misrepresentation

by Newt Gingrich

Dear Fellow Conservative,

This week's newsletter is excerpted from my new e-book "No Taxation by Misrepresentation," which you can download at www.NoTaxationByMisrepresentation.com.

As I wrote last week, the Obama administration's attempt to rewrite history in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling on Obamacare ranks among the most brazen dishonesty in recent American political history. The rhetorical manipulation by the president and his allies regarding his law's most controversial provision, the individual mandate, is a scandalous attempt to deceive the American people.

It constitutes a level of systematic dishonesty worthy of Orwell's "1984" or of the Communist newspaper Pravda at the peak of the Soviet Empire. Uncomfortable facts become nonexistent. "Necessary" falsehoods become the new truth. Doublespeak reigns.

It is the opposite of the fundamental honesty needed for self-government.

America was founded on an explicit contract between the governed and those to whom they loan power. There is a citizen-based freedom in America that has become a model for the world.

This American model began with a deep belief that power could only come with the consent of the governed. It was framed early on in a simple, direct fight over taxes. Ironically the very issue of taxation that is at the heart of the fight over Obamacare was also at the heart of the American Revolution.

In 1750 Reverend Jonathan Mayhew of Boston delivered a sermon in which he asserted there should be "no taxation without representation."

This phrase became one of the two major complaints of the colonists in their grievances with the British monarchy. (The other was dictatorial judges imposing government orders on citizens against their will.)

The Declaration of Independence reaffirmed this principle of representation in several statements. The Declaration asserts government "deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ... " can be changed by the people. It also blamed the British government and the King for "imposing Taxes on us without our Consent."

This demand for representation was at the heart of the American Revolution.

Our Founding Fathers believed that representative self-government and the very fabric of freedom required a basic level of honesty.

If people couldn't believe their leaders how could they have representative self-government?

The very concept of a bond between those in power and those who vote them into power requires some fundamental trust based upon honest discourse.


Thomas Aquinas summed up the simple matter quite well back in the 13th Century when he wrote "Men could not live with one another if there were not mutual confidence that they were being truthful to one another."

Five centuries after Aquinas, the first three presidents of the United States all shared similar attachments to honesty.

In his Farewell Address in 1796, our first president said "I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is the best policy."

John Adams, our second president and a coauthor with Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin of the Declaration of Independence, shared Jefferson's belief in honesty being integral to representative self-government. In a letter to Jefferson in 1796, Adams wrote that he hoped his would be "the age of experiments in government, and that their basis will be founded on principles of honesty, not of mere force."

Thomas Jefferson, our third president and author of the Declaration of Independence, wrote in 1774 that "(t)he whole art of government consists in the art of being honest."

The Founders clearly understood that there is a very simple reason self-government requires some fundamental level of honesty.

The election process is essentially a contract. The candidate is promising to represent a set of values and work toward a series of agreed upon goals in return for citizens' votes.

Citizens are voting to lend power to someone in return for his or her commitment to use that power to work toward a shared vision of the future.

The very heart of the election contract is a basic understanding of what is at stake. When leaders are dishonest to the people about important issues, they undermine the trust that is fundamental to the idea of self-government -- or as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently put it, "government of the people, by the people, for the people."

President Barack Obama launched his campaign in 2007 in Springfield, Illinois invoking that spirit of Honest Abe. But it is clear President Obama hasn't grasped the basic truths and the ethic of simple honesty that Lincoln understood and which defined Lincoln's speeches and his presidency.

President Obama's systematic and pervasive dishonesty undermines the ability of the public to know what's at stake, which is the very basis of every judgment made by the American people.

If such dishonesty is not punished by the voters, I fear it will teach a generation of Americans that routine, systematic dishonesty can be a winning strategy that creates legitimacy by the very act of succeeding. The cost will be a terrible erosion of trust among men and women, and a tearing apart of the social fabric that can only be built upon relationships of trust.

The election stakes

This election is about much more than the economy and jobs.

This election is about much more than a radical power grab designed to create a Washington centered bureaucratic control of America on behalf of left wing values.

This election is also about a culture of corruption and dishonesty that threatens to undermine and replace the very fabric of American representative self-government.

The Obama system of dishonesty has been on its most blatant display recently about taxes in Obamacare.

The uniformity and discipline of the Obama administration's "it's not a tax" campaign since the Supreme Court's decision is a deliberate effort to impose a falsehood on historic fact that should anger every American.

To defend honesty as a core value of American self-government and to defend the American principle of no taxation without representation, we must decisively repudiate taxation by misrepresentation.

This is the most important election in over a century and the Obama dishonesty about taxation and Obamacare is just more proof of how dishonest and how destructive the Obama team is and why it must be defeated.

Your Friend,


Newt
