“EMP 101” A BASIC PRIMER

WHAT IS AN EMP?
 
 
            EMP is shorthand for Electro Magnetic Pulse.    It is a rather unusual and frightening by-product when a nuclear bomb is detonated above the earth’s atmosphere.   We all know that our atmosphere and the magnetic field which surrounds our planet is a thin layer which not only keeps us alive, but also protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun.    On a fairly regular basis there are huge solar storms on the sun’s surface which emit powerful jets of deadly radiation.    If not for the protective layer of our atmosphere and magnetic field, those storms would fry us.    At times though, the storm is so power that enough disruptive energy reaches the earth’s surface that it drowns out radio waves and even shorts electrical power grids. . .this happened several years back in Canada.
            View the detonation of a nuclear bomb, two hundred miles straight up as the same thing, but infinitely more powerful since it is so close by.  
   
            As the bomb explodes it emits a powerful wave of gamma rays.    As this energy release hits the upper atmosphere it creates a electrical disturbance know as the Compton Effect.    The intensity is magnified.  View it as a small pebble rolling down a slope, hitting a larger one, setting that in motion, until finally you have an avalanche.
            At the speed of light this disturbance races to the earth surface.     It is not something you can see or hear, in the same way you don’t feel the electrical disturbance in the atmosphere during20a large solar storm.
   
            For all electrical systems though, it is deadly.
 
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS “PULSE” HITS THE SURFACE?
 
            Those who might remember ham radio operators, or even the old CB radios of the 1970s can recall that if you ran out a wire as an antenna you could send and receive a better signal.    The wire not only transmitted the very faint power of a few watts of electricity from your radio, it could receive even fainted signals in return.    As the Pulse strikes the earths surface, with a power that could range up to hundreds of amps per square yard, it will not affect you directly, at most you’ll feel a slight tingling, the s ame as when lightning is about to strike close by, and nearly all the energy will just be absorbed into the ground and dissipate.   The bad news, however, is wherever it strikes wires, metal surfaces, antennas, power lines it will now travel along those metal surfaces (in the same way a lightning bolt will always follow the metal of a lightning rod, or the power line into your house.)     The longer the wire, the more energy is absorbed, a high tension wire miles long will absorb tens of thousands of amps, and here is where the destruction begins as it slams into any delicate electronic circuits, meaning computer chips, relays, etc.    In that instant, they are overloaded by the massive energy surge, short circuit, and fry.    Your house via electric, phone and cable wires is connected, like all the rest of us into the power and communications grids.    This energy surge will destroy all delicate electronics in your home, even as it destroys all the major components all the way back to the power company’s generators and the phone company’s main relays.    In far less than a milli second the entire power grid of the United States, and all that it supports will be destroyed.    
 
WOULDN”T CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND SURGE PROTECTORS STOP IT?
 
            This is where the effect of EMP starts to get complex.    All electricity travels, of course, at the speed of light.    The circuit breakers that are built into our electrical system or the ones you buy to plug your own computer in to, are designed to “read’ the flow of current.    If it suddenly exceeds a certain level, the breaker snaps and takes you off line, thus protecting everything beyond it.    More than a few of us have found out that when you buy a cheap surge protector for ten or twenty bucks sure it will snap off, but the surge has already passed through and fried your expensive plasma television or new computer.    Unlike a lightning strike, or other power surge, an EMP surge is “front loaded.”   Meaning it doesn’t do a build up for a couple of mirco-seconds, allowing enough time for the circuit breaker to “read” that trouble is on the way and shut down.    It comes instead like a wall of energy, without any advance wave building up as a warning.   It therefore slams through nearly all commercial and even military surge protectors already in place, and is past the “safety barrier” and into the delicate electronics before the system has time to react.
 
WHAT ABOUT CARS?
 
 
     Here is more bad news regarding EMP.    =2 0If you own a 1965 Volkswagen bug or Mustange you’re ok. . .there are no solid state electronics under the hood, it still has an old fashion carburetor, the radio still might even have tubes rather than transistors.  However, even that is in question.   In 1962 both we and the Soviets detonated nuclear weapons in space (saber rattling during the Cuban Missile Crisis) and it is reported that a number of cars. . .their ignition systems a thousand miles away from the detonation were fried because of EMP.  (Check out a few of the more “tech head” links on this site for detailed explanations).  From about 1980 on, cars increasingly went solid state and by the 1990s were getting ever more complex computers installed.   Consider a visit to the mechanic today.  He runs a wire in under the hood, plugs it into his computer and within seconds has a full diagnostic, types in what his computer is suppose to do, the problem is solved and you are handed a rather large bill.     Great modern conveniences from airbag sensors, to fuel injectors and all of it more and more dependent on computers.    At the instant the “Pulse” strikes, the body of your car and the radio antenna will feed the overload into your vehicle’s computer and short it out.   
 
Some police departments are even now experimenting with using a specially designed bumper on their car for high speed chases.  If they can brush up against the car they are pursuing the officer just hits a button, and through his bumper a high energy surge will be released, flooding into the car being pursued and shorting out its computer system.     Result. . .whether you are being chased by the police with this new device, or an EMP burst has been fired off. . .your car will essentially be a useless hunk of metal that will slowly roll to a stop.     
In that instant, most of America will be on foot again.
 
 
AND PLANES?
 
     This is a terrifying aspect of an attack that no government report has publicly discussed along with the potential casualty rate in the first seconds after an attack.     Commercial airliners today are all computer driven.   In fact, from lift off to landing, a pilot no longer even needs to be in the cockpit, a computer can do all of it if need be.    When the pilot pulls back on the “stick” it is no longer connect by wires stretching all the way back to the tail and the elevator assembly.  Instead, his motion is read by a computer which sends a signal to an electrical servo-motor in the tail, which then moves the tail.   In short, the entire plane is computer driven.     It is estimated that at any given moment during regular business hours, somewhere between three to four thousand commercial airliners are crisscrossing the skies.  (There is a fascinating site you can find via Goggle that shows typical air traffic around the world during a twenty four hour period.  From dawn til way after dusk, the entire USA is one glowing blob of commercial flights crisscrossing our sky).   All of them would be doomed, the pilots sitting impotent, staring at blank computer screens, pulling on controls that no longer respond as the plane finally noses over and heads in. 
   
      Somewhere between 250,000 to 500,000 people will die in the first few minutes. . .more than all our battle casualties across four years of World War II.

EMP Attack On US Would Be ‘Catastrophic,’ Congress Told: China and Russia have the Technology

An Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) attack on the United States, whether manmade or naturally occurring, could result in the deaths of nine out of ten Americans through starvation, disease and the collapse of modern society, warned Dr. Vincent Peter Pry, a member of the congressional EMP Commission and executive director of the Task Force on National and Homeland Security. 

“A natural EMP catastrophe or nuclear EMP attack could blackout the national electric grid for months or years and collapse all the other critical infrastructures -- communications, transportation, banking and finance, food and water -- necessary to sustain modern society and the lives of 310 million Americans,” Pry this week told the House Committee on Homeland Security Committee’s Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection and Security Technologies.

The subcommittee herd testimony from a variety of experts during a hearing to examine the potentially catastrophic impact of an EMP attack on America’s largely unsecured electrical grid and critical infrastructure.

An electromagnetic pulse is a high-intensity burst of electromagnetic energy that is capable of severely damaging or destroying the electronic systems that make modern society possible. Natural occurrences, like a solar storm, as well as manmade events like a nuclear attack, can generate EMP. Either way, the results could be devastating.

“Some would say it’s low probability, but the damage that could be caused in the event of an EMP attack, both by the sun, a solar event, or a man-made attack, would be catastrophic,” said Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

In 1859, a geomagnetic storm known as the “Carrington Event” resulted in fires in telegraph stations and burnt out the just-laid transatlantic cable. Since electronic systems were not a critical component of society at the time, the event was not disastrous. Scientists estimate that the same event today would devastate essential infrastructure. They predict that we are long overdue for another geomagnetic storm, and the next one -- the first in the modern era -- would be catastrophic.

“NASA and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) published a blue-ribbon study independently confirming the warning of the EMP Commission about the threat posed by a great geomagnetic storm,” said Pry, a former CIA intelligence officer. “The EMP Commission and the NASA-NAS reports, and several subsequent independent studies, conclude that if a great geomagnetic storm like the 1859 Carrington Event happened today, millions could die.”

Subcommittee Vice Chairman Scott Perry (R-Penn.) said China and Russia already have the technology to launch an EMP attack, and that Iran and North Korea may also be developing EMP weapon technology.

4063823058?profile=originalOsama bin Laden - Professor says he was a freedom fighter

photo credit - Telegraph

A California professor is teaching his students that the devastating attack on America on September 11th 2001 was engineered by an Osama Bin Laden: Freedom Fighter, according to Fox News. Professor Emmit Evans who teaches at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo is using his political science lectures to rewrite history for students who in taking his class must use his book.

The book, which he co-authored called “The Other World,” portrays the mass murdering Al Qaeda mastermind and leader of the terrorist organization as a simple freedom fighter. On the other hand this leftist-leaning lecturer portrays the United States as, a “neocolonial power,” that had to be targeted for its efforts to “prop up” Saudi Arabia.

The students learn that the means justify the ends and that innocent-minded Osama Bin Laden had to engage in mass murder of innocent Americans in order to send a message to the, “ corrupt and repressive regime” in Saudi Arabia. Dangerous rants of a fringe professor could be one way of looking at the effort by Professor Evans to sanitize the recent history of America’s national tragedy. Yet there appears to be more to this professor’s agenda than just showing Osama bin Laden as some shining white knight of Arabia.

4063728647?profile=original                       Are Hollywood actors cowards about Obama Syrian military action?

As President Obama prepares the nation to go to war through his apparent ‘go it alone’ strategy where are the screams of alarm from Hollywood? Remember when the left cost Hollywood elite accused former President Bush of “Cowboy Diplomacy?” Now, with Britain on the sidelines with the rest of Obama’s coalition of the unwilling, his charm offensive at the G-20 Summit in Russia is under performing. Hollywood’s liberal millionaires are currently deafeningly silent.

This is in strange contrast to the continued poisonous verbal assaults by Hollywood actors lobbed against then President George Bush. Unlike Obama, Bush worked tirelessly to build an international 46 nation “Coalition of the Willing” to join the United States in war against Iraq.

Obama on the other hand cannot seem to muster a 2 nation Coalition of the Unwilling. Barack Obama has not made his case to America nor to the world and it is totally apparent to Americans to many of the former American Iraq and Afghanistan allies. This is Obama’s War and its launch has more to do with his embarrassment over a red line in the Syrian soil which even now he has attempted to erase.

As U.S. military forces prepare for war through its Mediterranean battleship presence, Hollywood with its liberal Obama yes men and women, seem to be hiding and strangely and uncharacteristically silent about possible military action and war.

Seann Penn, who like Hanoi Jane Fonda has had a penchant for visiting wartime enemies of America has not flung one typically profane word or otherwise toward Obama. Where is the outrage Penn is famous for when he attacked Bush as a war monger? Are 100,000 dead Syrians and 40 thousand of them innocent civilians in this civil war conflict not enough for Penn and his conscience of convenience?

What about Jaime Foxx who has no problem playing a president on the big screen and also attacking Bush with comments over the Iraq war in 200. He then told MSNBC in an interview, "I think George Bush and the guys that are there, just don't have the charisma to pull off the things that they're trying to do.”

Now fast forward to November 2012 when Foxx stood on stage at the Soul Train awards and called President Obama, “Our Lord and Savior.” Where is the charisma that this same “Lord and Savior” was supposed to possess to dazzle and impress the world’s nations with? Foxx, like his fellow actors are cowards whose principles shift with the box office printouts of their latest movies, and took cover when Obama decided to use military action as a run up to a possible war.

While Kerry and Obama say that using chemical weapons is unacceptable they must have forgotten their thoughts on Bush and Iraq. Saddam Hussein gassed an entire village of Kurds  which killed about 5,000 people and everything else alive in that village. Then he continued his aggression against other states and implied he had other weapons of mass destruction, although, as Mr. Kerry said this week chemical weapons are considered in that category. Biden called for Bush's impeachment, Kerry and Obama criticized Bush's war in Iraq for several reasons and yet Obama is expected to attack Syria for one of the same reasons, WMD use. Iraq invaded other nations, attempted to kill President Bush SR., interrupted oil production and supply routes, caused terrible environmental oil spills. Bush had a UN coalition of 30 plus nations and a UN mandate. 

Regardless, if you supported the Iraq action or not, my point is that Obama and his team are hypocrites. I think using  WMD now for action in Syria and criticizing Bush in the past is being hypocritical. It is terrible using chemical weapons, but anything that kills innocent civilians is also terrible. Will we police the entire world? I do think the UN and/or NATO should do something to punish the use of Chemical weapons and we are a part of those groups. Maybe Biden, Kerry and Obama should have  thought glass houses before they all stoned Bush? But then, if they did I guess they would not be politicians.

I wonder, if Hillary would just say, " What difference does it make".

I graduated the Defense Intelligence College, Staff Attaché course in Washington, DC, during the height of the Iran Hostage Crisis, where US diplomatic personnel were held hostage for 444 days by Iran’s Ayatollah Khomieni. 

 Under the norms of international law, an attack on a diplomatic mission and their personnel is an act of war. Without divulging details of that Top Secret course; I was trained in what to do if the diplomatic mission came under attack and how to survive if taken hostage. Over the course of my , I lived for a year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, worked on security details at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, DC, as well as provide a variety of  to other Embassies, to include the British, Kuwaiti, Jordanian among others. I also provided similar services to the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel. 

 So, when I analyze the testimony and narrative provided by Hillary and Obama in regard to the fiasco at Benghazi, it does not match what every diplomatic security professional, military veteran and common-sense gifted American intuitively knows. No matter what your political flavor is, no red blooded American abides leaving our people behind at a diplomatic mission, under attack for what-ever reason, when they are frantically calling in for help, period. Yet, that is precisely what happened at Benghazi.

 For the sake of good order, let’s set aside what nefarious policy may or may not have been taking place there that would deliver a US Ambassador into the hands of Jihadist on what is a day of high security alert for every diplomatic mission, in every jihadist active country in the world, September 11th.

 Here is what happened; the US Ambassador on behalf of the President and Secretary of State went into a hot bed of Jihadist activity on Sept. 11th without an ample security detail. No military resources were put on stand-by alert to extract them as a normal precaution. When the call came in, up the entire chain of command, directly to the Commander in Chief, who was made completely aware the Ambassador and dozens of Americans were under blithering military attack as was every military commander in the region, in real time. An order to stand down from any rescue attempt was given. A stand down occurred. Our people were abandoned. A dis-information campaign, orchestrated by the White House spin machine followed. 

 Here is what did not happen; a concerted effort to deploy every military resource in the region to rescue them at best or avenge them at worst, immediately. This is the equivalent of ordering the firemen responding to a 5  to remain in the firehouse and let it burn. 

 In the chain of command, the only stand down authority who can order 4 star General Commanders to withhold their men from a rescue is the Secretary of Defense and President of the United States of America. 

This fact alone is a disgrace and dishonor to any Commander in Chief who violates the one and only inviolable and unforgivable act of any American commander, never, ever, leave a man behind, Sir.

4063689376?profile=originalChris Matthews Attempted to Pin Boston Terrorism

                              on Conservatives

Chris Matthews Attempted to Pin Boston Terrorism on Conservatives Last week America again became the tragic victim of terrorism. Yet, as Americans were trying to grasp the full measure of an act which caused death, injuries and mayhem, the nation was assaulted again. This time it was the liberal media bias of a pundit whose sole job was to not bring comfort and truth to a nation on edge. Instead, Chris Matthew, anchor of an MSNBC news show, chose to pin this atrocity on conservatives and Tea Party members.

As the nation continues to cope with the possibility of connections to outside state sponsored terrorist plots involving Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and his brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, Matthews chose to yet again attack innocent Americans who support and defend America’s laws and the U.S. Constitution.

What comfort does a person like Chris Matthews draw from spewing vitriolic hatred toward the Tea Party by hoping the act of terrorism was committed by a “white person who is right-wing?” The absurdity of this could be easily dismissed if it were dripping from the lips of an inebriated bar fly sitting in a watering hole. But, this salacious assault was spewed into the public arena from his ratings challenged MSNBC cable show.

Unfortunately recent history has been marked by liberal journalists who have chosen to alarm America with unproven statements of condemnation against conservatives and Tea Party members.

ABC did this in July of 2012 when Brian Ross, ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent, erroneously and callously linked an innocent Colorado man and Tea party member as being the bomber in Aurora, Colorado. Instead it turned out the real killer was a James Holmes, who just happened to be a Democrat.

That was left unreported by the liberal media. What purpose does it serve to strike fear with persistent lies, except if one’s intention is to engage in a strategic campaign of misdirection and annihilation? Americans who were seeking as much critical information as possible during those crucial hours and days after this terror attack deserved better.

INTEL BRIEFING 3/11/13

For dissemination throughout the Frontiersmen and to our friends

RE: Federal action against patriot groups in US

Today at 10AM there was a very large meeting at the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) headquarters in Clarksburg, WV.

The meeting was held in an auditorium and included everyone from agents to the secretaries. The meeting was organized by the Director of the Biometric Identification Management Agency (BIMA), Colonel Bolo (ret.).

Bolo summarized the purchase of 24 new armored vehicles (each costing $400k) and the recent appearance of 20 mobile headquarters that are now present at the facility. The mobile units are semi-trailers with attached generators in the front; are of a shiny, mirrored-silver finish; and have no identifiable markings on them at all. There are 20 of them parked (visibly in front) at 1000 Cluster Hollow Rd, Clarksburg, WV as of today. Additionally, there are
24 armored cars (the same ones we have seen with DHS markings) parked in a different lot on this property, but they too may be visible.

The Colonel went into great detail on a list of Patriot/Constitutional groups. According to witnesses, this is a list that may be identical or very close to the one put out by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) but had over 1000 groups on it.

He explained that although groups may take advantage of the 2nd Amendment debate to garner followers now, at the heart of all these organizations is a racist core; one that poses a threat and will need to be dealt with soon. This is when he tied the armored cars and mobile command trailers to the mission .

The armored cars (those at the facility and nationwide) are to effect high-risk warrants on the ring leaders of the listed various groups with command centers being placed as necessary. The DHS and FBI are planning to move at one time against the listed groups; with SWAT teams being utilized against the more threatening ones. The colonel explained that all these groups have been successfully infiltrated and the leaders identified. He also explained that this is part of the new Internal Security Force that the President has been alluding to.

In answering a question from an attendee regarding the mass purchase of ammo, he also stated that the buildup of arms and ammo was specifically for this mission .

The witness has told me that after the meeting, everyone they saw there were against this. People were complaining, shaking their head in disbelief, and asking what the heck going on. According to them, NOBODY (including federal agents present) planned on going along with this and many even talked about how this will ignite a war.

The report I received can be verified through any personal contacts you may have at this center or connected to the agencies mentioned. You may also visibly inspect the lot for these trailers by driving to the location in Clarksburg.

The witness was extremely bothered by the meeting and has said it is coming and a hell of a lot sooner than people think! .

I used to think that mass roundups would never happen but with this new information, I can clearly see that this is exactly what is going to happen (at least to a certain number of militia/patriot groups). Inevitably, any action this crazy will result in a reaction by others. The specter of Civil War in this country is a real present danger now folks, "prepare".

NOTE: I did ask a whole bunch of additional questions which hopefully will be answered soon.

4063605399?profile=originalWith the continuing furor erupting concerning the highly partisan nature displayed by Candy Crowley during the second presidential debate, the real question has evaded the American voter.  Who is truly responsible for acts of journalistic misconduct and what should be done when a debate moderator decides to go rogue, as Crowley did in favoring Obama?

 

The Commission on Presidential Debates is the organization which sponsors the presidential and vice presidential debates and it claims that these debates will be conducted in “a professional and nonpartisan manner.”  What happens when the journalist moderator interjects herself into the debate, in order to blunt a candidate’s momentum, as Crowley did to republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney?

  

Presidential Debate Commission Rules:

(c) With respect to all questions...

(iv) The moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate or otherwise intervene in the debate except to acknowledge the questioners from the audience or enforce the time limits,

Crowley deliberately and intentionally broke the agreed upon rules, and decided as Obama has decided during the course of his administration, that rules don’t apply and the ends justify the means.

So, what recourse do the American people have when a journalist is selected who openly ignores the rules in conducting the debate and in comments leading up to the debate?  What happens when the journalist moderator interjects herself into the debate, in order to blunt a candidate’s momentum, as Crowley did to republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney?

 

The easy answer is to say; simply that Republicans and GOP candidates who are the favorite targets of biased coverage in the mainstream media should just grit their teeth and bare it.  But that is not what the American public needs to see or should have to endure.  If a presidential debate commission purports to field “unbiased reporters” who are going to be fair and balanced moderators, then failing to do so should result in a penalty, and or permanent suspension of the reporter and their affiliated network from future participation in debates.

 

According to the national Verified Voting Foundation, in 2012 there are approximately 180,802,372 registered voters in America.  Voters are entitled to see a debate that is free from a moderator who appears to purposely steer a debate, to benefit the incumbent president Obama. Crowley’s behavior becomes even more suspect when one considers that Obama was increasingly losing ground to the republican challenger Mitt Romney.

Did CNN senior political reporter Candace Crowley conduct herself in a professional and nonpartisan manner?  Examine her earlier statement, when she announced that she would evade and ignore the professional rules of journalistic conduct, and inject herself into the presidential debate if and when she saw fit. So one has to question, who judges the moderators when moderators declare that they are above the rules as Crowley did?

 

It’s possible that the American people can supply the answer. ( Read More )

4063574728?profile=original

Former President Bill Clinton returned to bask in the national spotlight, giving the Democratic National Convention nomination speech for the current White House occupant.

Not surprising for a speech coming from someone impeached for perjury by Congress, the speech, while delivered with Slick Willie’s signature “I feel your pain” polish, was riddled with falsehoods.

While it would be instructive to do a point by point rebuttal to Clinton’s lie filled rambling, few people have the time to invest in listening to one of Slick Willie’s exercises in verbosity, much less reading a rebuttal of the entire rendering.  Hence only selected portions are to be found herein.

The lies began with: “We think ‘we're all in this together’ is a better philosophy than ‘you're on your own.’”

That statement is a straw man argument, pure and simple.

Conservative Americans point to America’s long history of family, community, church and private charities, not government, successfully tending to the needs described in the phrase “we’re all in this together”.  Only those with the “progressive” collectivist mindset believe relying on the private sector for solutions equates to “you’re on your own.”

Clinton then stooped to a not so subliminal ad hominem attack on Conservative Americans: “It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us.”

In one sentence, he elevates “progressives” to the “morally right” position while lowering Conservative Americans to the level of being ignorant, discriminatory, and in favor of poverty.  Not only is this smear factually unsubstantiated, it is carefully phrased to tug at the heartstrings of “progressive” followers. 

What the sentence also misrepresents is that in reality, more Washington spending on education has only reaped diminished results.  Infrastructure spending has created precious few jobs.  Scientific and technological research has been far most productive and successful when done in the private sector economy.  Just ask Silicon Valley, where private capital and the private sector free market, not government, created new wealth.

He then attacked Congressional Republicans with: “When times are tough, constant conflict may be good politics but in the real world, cooperation works better. After all, nobody's right all the time, and a broken clock is right twice a day. All of us are destined to live our lives between those two extremes. Unfortunately, the faction that now dominates the Republican Party doesn't see it that way. They think government is the enemy, and compromise is weakness.”

The “faction that now dominates the Republican Party” does not view government as the enemy.  They view government that promotes government dependency by being too large, too expansive, too expensive, too controlling, too overreaching and too intrusive into the private lives of free American Citizens as the enemy.  They do not see compromise as weakness.  What they understand is that “progressives” are incapable of and uninterested in compromise.  The “faction that now dominates the Republican Party” understands that bargaining with those whose negotiating position begins and ends with “what’s mine is mine and what’s your is ours” is a fool’s errand.

Clinton then returns to a “progressive” staple, the straw man: “In Tampa, the Republican argument against the President's re-election was pretty simple: we left him a total mess, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in.”

This attack employs the long term “progressive” strategy of repeating the lie that Republican policies created the economic crisis of 2008.

The Glass-Steagall Act had stringently separated commercial banking from investment banking.  Its repeal contributed to the 2008 credit crisis by allowing mortgage back securities to be traded in the investment commodities market.  The “progressive” left loves to blame the repeal of Glass-Steagall on Republicans.   Gramm-Leach-Bliley, the 1999 law that repealed Glass-Steagall, passed in the Senate by a vote of 90-8.  Thirty eight Democrats, including Joe Biden, voted for the final bill.  Bill Clinton signed the bill into law.

Clinton actively favored reductions in housing market standards by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  He can also be blamed for encouraging bad loans to be made and promoting regulations that incentivized banks to make risky loans to unqualified home buyers through expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act.

The facts show that the 2008 economic crisis was a product of “progressive” social engineering in the American housing market.  The constant repetition by “progressive” politicians that it was caused by failed Republican policies is a flat out lie.

Being able to lie convincingly has always been Bill Clinton’s special gift.  He was in typical Clintonesque Academy Award winning form during his DNC speech.

The story continues: “The Recovery Act saved and created millions of jobs and cut taxes for 95 percent of the American people. In the last 29 months the economy has produced about 4.5 million private sector jobs. But last year, the Republicans blocked the President's jobs plan costing the economy more than a million new jobs. So here's another jobs score: President Obama plus 4.5 million, Congressional Republicans zero.”

The pork filled stimulus bill “saved jobs” in fiscally irresponsible states and communities that without a taxpayer funded bailout could no longer sustain the costs of government sector union pensions, benefits and other wasteful government spending.  It did not create private sector jobs.  Of the alleged “4.5 million private sector jobs” that have been created “in the last 29 months”, most are low paying jobs.  The Survey of Consumer Finances found that median wealth for American families has plunged by 39 percent.  Those same families have experienced an average median loss of $4,000 in income.

The Republicans who “blocked the President's jobs plan”,  a plan that failed in the Senate by a vote of 50 to 49, included Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana, who also did not support the measure.  The facts show that it was the loss of those two Democratic votes that doomed the plan.

Those tax cuts “for 95 percent of the American people” were cuts in the payroll tax, which funds Social Security.  For purely partisan political gain, those cuts created the illusion that workers were getting a real tax cut while defunding the Social Security trust fund depended upon by retiring Baby Boomers.

Clinton saved his most egregious lies for Medicare: “Both Governor Romney and Congressman Ryan attacked the President for allegedly robbing Medicare of 716 billion dollars. Here's what really happened. There were no cuts to benefits. None. What the President did was save money by cutting unwarranted subsidies to providers and insurance companies that weren't making people any healthier. He used the saving to close the donut hole in the Medicare drug program, and to add eight years to the life of the Medicare Trust Fund. It's now solvent until 2024. So President Obama and the Democrats didn't weaken Medicare, they strengthened it.”

The truth is, obama”care”, a gigantic tax increase on all Americans, that for partisan political reasons remains hidden from voters by the institutionalized “progressive” left, robs $716 billion from Medicare to help pay for obama”care”.  This was necessary because despite all the hidden taxes, “progressives” could not successfully manipulate the numbers to make it appear cost neutral without stealing from Medicare.  The “progressives” then double count that money by saying it is also going to close the donut hole in the Medicare drug program.  Paul Ryan’s plan takes that $716 and puts it in a trust fund that actually will extend the life of Medicare.

Clinton attacks the GOP candidates on a multitude of topics, but the most unbelievable assertion he made in his entire speech is that the current Chief Executive “is still committed to cooperation.”  Barrack Obama has never been committed to cooperation.

On his third day in office, when challenged by a Republican Senator about his plans, replied: “I won.”  He, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid then isolated Republicans from the legislative process by holding their meetings behind closed doors.

Why was it possible for Clinton to stand on the DNC stage and lie about the Republican Congress doing nothing?  Because Harry Reid continues the lock out process, preventing a plethora of jobs and economic recovery bills passed by the Republican House from even being debated, much less voted on in the “progressive” Democrat controlled Senate.

If Americans believe in an all-powerful, manipulative, micro-managing, centrally planned big government run by liars, whose negotiating stance is “what’s mine is mine and what’s your is ours” they will vote to re-elect “progressives”.  In that case, they will be co-signing America’s death sentence.

After the Obama Administration made their decree to endall of piracy including activation workarounds which have actuallyfreed Microsoft paying customer slaves from being forced to pay forevery personal computer or sometimes even paying for the same computerthey had a license on because they activated too many times in a year,now the U.S.Immigrations and Customs Enforcement which has usually neverusually had jurisdiction over the Digital Internet, has now just shutdown nine domains in an instant.

This is scaring me because if they can shut down 9 websites over a Federal Decree what could they do to truth sites, activist website, teaparty websites, and other web sites Obama wants to kill. So a while agowhen I made that emotional video calling Obama a new Hitler and askinghim why he wants to kill us I was actually right on the mark that Obamais the new Adolf Hitler and that his goal is to stifle free speech andhave us under complete control as a slave to the Government and theCorporations which makes it fascism.

Right now it's a corporate takeover by the International banking elite, the World Trade Organization, and the United Nations which hasalso taken a fight against copyright violations.

So my concern isn't whether piracy will survive or not right now but after seeing how those domains got quickly and easily seized without acourt trial first proves that any website can now be taken down under adecree by the Executive Branch Authority Barack Hussein Obama.

If you want proof go check out these websites for yourself and you'll believe me:

http://filespump.com/index.html

http://www.movies-links.tv/index.html

TVShack.net

Movies-Links.tv

FilesPump.com

Now-Movies.com

PlanetMoviez.com

ThePirateCity.org

ZML.com

NinjaVideo.net

NinjaThis.net

When you go to any of these pages you get the following message:

domain has been seizedTranscript ofthe image: This domain name has been seized by U.S. Immigration andCustoms Enforcement, Special Agent in Charge New York Office inaccordance with a seizure warrant obtained by the United StatesAttorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and issuedpursuant to 18 U.S.C. §§ 981 and 2323 by the United States DistrictCourt for the Southern District of New York.

It does say a search warrant but usually in the past with sites like Isohunt, TorrentSpy, and other file sharing sites, whenever any site isunder fire for piracy suspicion, the domain was never snatched or seizedand the site owner usually leaves a message whenever a court order isthat the website is taken down. Now instead of owners leaving asarcastic remark or criticizing the president they snatch the domain andput their pretty little threats on the site as well as a eagle makingout like their serving Justice under Obama when in reality theCorporations are only enslaving the World and getting rid of legalcustomers having the rights to crack their activations because they feelthey have paid hundreds of dollars to be enslaved and forced to benddown to ask their masters if it's ok to install Windows on theirpersonal computer.

The corporations are telling you to bend down and take your beating while giving them trillions in tax payers dollars and bailotu money.

So again what is scary about all this is if this can happen to piracy sites then if Obama where to make another decree to go after allpolitical and free speech websites such as "Oh there is plenty ofAmericans and Klu Klux Klan members that are out to kill and threaten metherefore under my Administration we will shut down all of the freespeech websites because this allows KKK members to attack me unfairlyand make threats openly. That is not acceptable and we will go after allhate speech sites" and since Obama has already passed the laws for HateSpeech crimes and other anti free speech bills all he has to do is makeus out like we hate Obama and we can pretty much be shut down and thiswill happen to us:

uswgo-shut-down

Yes thats right with Obama's executive decree and a Free Speech crackdown can mean that my website USWGO Alternative News can be shutdown at any time for almost any reason he can snatch me away in somevan, take me to some detention center, and/or shut down my website andput a warning like they did on the piracy websites.

To me this is another silent threat just like getting the Mexicans angry at Americans and wanting to kill them with axes and shovels. Thiswhole anti-piracy crackdown is just another threat against free speechsites because first it will be piracy, then the religious sites, thenthe alternative media, and then they come for us because we didn't stopthem when they started crusades instead of bringing more jobs as Obamapromised during his campaign for president.

The 9 piracy sites shutdown is actually a threat against big truth sites like 9/11 truth, WeAreChange, InfoWars, PrisonPlanet, USWGO,Natural News, FederalJack, Nanny State Liberation Front, and othertruth/activist sites that are now in danger and the threat Obama issilently given to us is "Yeah!!! This is what we are going to do to allyour domains, if you challenge us or make us look in da media we willshut down your websites the same way we shut down those piracy sites! Wemake the laws and we choose what we enforce! We can allow illegalimmigrants while stifling free speech because of NSPD 51 which makes me adictator and congress is just a ceremony".

So in reality this has nothing to do with piracy this is about how fast sites are being taken by the Obama Administration and what theycould do to your website...

Unlawful to speak against Adolf Obama

Also now with Kagan a pro Obama and pro socialist getting to top positions of the Supreme Court now Unconstitutional laws can be acceptedNationwide which means that ICE and the FBI can seize domains in thefuture of all truth and activist political sites.

I received a disturbing email from Ron Paul that the Federal Election Commission is coming after him and his Liberty supporting,Constitution supporting, and freedom supporting Organization the Campaign for Liberty.If the FEC gets it's way Ron Paul will be charged with various crimesthat Ron Paul is not allowed to discuss publicly due to anotheranti-free-speech gag order that he cannot talk about what theaccusations, charges, and even investigations are about and/or are for.

I received a email from Ron Paul detailing this:


Dear Liberty Activist, The FEC has launched a pair ofinvestigations on Campaign for Liberty.

Both are meritless, but could seriously disrupt our growing program.

Please read Campaign for Liberty President John Tate's letter below and stand with us.

This is exactly the type of government action to quell liberty that I have spent mylife opposing.

Sincerely,


Congressman Ron Paul




Dear Friend of Liberty,

The best way to know you are succeeding in changing Washington is when youget attacked by the FEC.

And attack us they have!

I'm writing you this letter today not to scare you or to cry wolf. I'mwriting to let you know that our success has its price, and that priceright now is the wrath of the Obama Administration and its attack dogsat the Federal Election Commission.

I urge you to read this message and then sign the Declaration of Support (in which I ask foryour advice on a critical legal and moral question), as we are forcedinto battle with federal agencies and courts.

You see, this isn't theoretical. They've already come after us in multiple cases,alleging that Campaign for Liberty has acted illegally merely byputting the candidates on the record and reporting their positions.

My attorneys tell me we are under a gag rule and cannot go in to too many details or even tell you with what we have been charged andwhere the charges originated.

But I can say there have been at least two complaints filed in two different states against our issuediscussion activities.

They claim we are in violation of various FEC rules and laws.

Their allegations are completely false. And we must fight back now, or they will win and be able to silenceour movement.

You see, the Washington, D.C. establishment doesn't like to be challenged. They hate it when we fight back.

They are absolutely BESIDE themselves when we are winning.

In less than 2 years, your Campaign for Liberty has become a major forceon the American political landscape.

I can give you a list of our accomplishments, talk about our growth (we are approaching half amillion members), and show you press coverage from across the nationon our efforts.

But nothing shows our success more than how our enemies react when challenged.

When that happens, they do what they do best: use the power of the federal government toattack us.

They want to do one of two things: shut us up, or shut us down.

This battle is over a very fundamental idea - that Campaign for Liberty and our members should have a voice in lobbyingtheir legislators and exposing the radical views of candidates foroffice.

Exposing what they're up to - that's what the powers that be can't stand. That's because they don't want Americans to know:

** Congress is spending at a record pace and has now left us over 13 TRILLION dollars in debt, with no end in sight.

** The out of control FED has not accounted for nearly 2 trillion dollars and hasdoubled our monetary base, risking our entire economy.

** The federal government has imposed a mandate that every American eitherpurchase a health care product the Feds approve of, costing tens ofthousands of dollars, or risk fines and jail time.

** The federal government has attempted to take away your 1st, 2nd and 4thAmendment rights, all in the past year, with more certainly to come.

We're exposing them - and holding them accountable as they come back home to seek reelection.

Of course, this may not sound like the end of the world. But just think: the FEC has an ARMY of lawyersand a budget of nearly $70 MILLION dollars.

That's a lot of lawyers.

And add to it the fact that this group of people is adamantly against free speech under the First Amendment, and well, youhave a recipe for trouble.

Subpeonas. Depositions. Fishing expeditions that cover tens of thousands of documents.

Legal fees just to defend our right to free speech.

Thousands of hours of staff time to comply with their demands.

You can see where this is going.

If FEC radicals succeed, I will not even be allowed to tell you and your neighbors how candidates for the Houseand Senate (or for President in the future) have voted on Libertyissues, so you can put the heat on them when they are most likely tolisten.

Let me explain that a bit more.

For the first time ever, there is a nationwide group that is dedicated to holdingpoliticians accountable for their votes on Liberty issues.

It's Campaign for Liberty, and our over 450,000 members are doing battleacross the country to hold the politicians' feet to the fire.

Whether it is getting more than 300 sponsors for Audit the Fed, or lobbyingto stop Cap and Tax and Real ID schemes, Campaign for Liberty ismaking a difference.

And we're prepared to make an even bigger difference this fall, as the time comes to inform the people wheretheir candidates stand.

So the statists in Washington are out to make sure that doesn't happen.

Their main weapon is the Federal Election Commission.

The FEC has always been against free speech and a tool of the powerful elite in Washington, whodesperately seek to hang on to power.

But as bad as the FEC has been since its inception, with the Obama Administration in power, youand I face even more aggressive assaults on our free speech.

My attorneys have warned me that the puppets at the Federal ElectionCommission are ordering me to stop mobilizing hundreds of thousands ofAmericans against power grabs in Congress.

In doing so, they are trying to cripple our ability to stop dangerous legislation inCongress. If we continue to oppose these Liberty-stealing bills as wehave in the past, I face the danger of multimillion-dollar fines andeven a jail term!

In fact, I may even be questioned in court for writing this letter tonight.

I must make a decision soon. Should I allow the Federal Election Commission to tie my handsduring this crucial election year?

Or should I defy their gag-rule regulations . . . and face prosecution from the out ofcontrol federal authorities for exercising our right to politicalspeech?

other examples of the Abusive Federal Government gag restraining orders include a Teacher assaulting(Apparently rape and assault is ok now for federal officials!) and whenthe student protested on YouTube he received a courtorder shutting him up using a Restraining Order against him, Onthe Blagojevichtrial the Federal prosecutors are seeking a gag order to keep theex-Governor and his lawyers from making public comments which againviolate Freedom of Speech, and more and more The Federal Courts wants touse Gag Orders and judges acting like Gods on power trips that exceptto be well bribed and treated like they are our masters.

Ron Paul has been a higher target since he public said that Obama has thepower to assassinateAmerican citizens, Hespoke against the Iraq War that Obama promised to stop during hiscampaign for presidency, and Ron Paul has been vigorously attacking BigGovernments all the way to keep America from becoming a Police Stateand now the Federal election Commission by Obamas attack dogs havestarted a criminal investigation against Ron Paul and Campaign forLiberty.

If they succeed Ron Paul could lose his job as a politician, be barred from be allowed to being voted back in, and moreBig Government kooks could then complete the takeover of the Entire USCapital and the Supreme Court. If this happens our country will go thesame route as Germany did with Hitler and we will start seeing peoplebeing thrown in Concentration Camps here in this very country that issuppose to be free.

Those that support Ron Paul including me prays that his organization doesn't get shut down and if it does wewill fight the Obama Administration 5 times harder and show thatsocialist ba**ard what the spirit of America is about and what freedomof the press is about. The Constitution is what matters and Obamapromised to defend, protect, and abide by the Constitution againstenemies foreign and domestic. Obama promised and if he breaks hispromise and instead dismantles the Constitution and America he shouldbe hanged for treason.
