Montgomery, ‘THE HAMMER’ Surveillance System Whistleblower, Became The Deep State’s Enemy Number One After Exposing The Truth

By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones

Remember, do not kill a mockingbird. When a whistleblower is singing for America’s protection, we embrace and celebrate him.

Inventor and software designer Dennis Montgomery, a CIA/DOD/DHS/NSA/FBI  contractor-turned-whistleblower, alerted FBI Director James Comey’s office in 2015 that President Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan and Obama’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had turned the super-surveillance system that Montgomery designed for foreign surveillance, known as THE HAMMER into a domestic surveillance system.

Montgomery became alarmed when Obama and his intelligence chiefs Brennan and Clapper turned the super-surveillance system against the American people.

Montgomery asserts that Obama, Brennan, and Clapper used THE HAMMER in a diabolically intrusive manner in order to spy on the American people and collect massive amounts of surveillance data for “leverage” and “blackmail.”

THE HAMMER was only to be used for foreign surveillance, not to be weaponized for domestic surveillance against the American people, according to Montgomery and to U.S. military sources.  

According to those U.S. military sources, Montgomery’s surveillance technology not only saved American lives as America’s “War on Terror” broadened, but also featured built-in safeguards to prevent the system from ever being used for domestic surveillance.

“Multiple echelons” of government, including the FISA court, had to sign off on each and every foreign surveillance operation conducted with the use of THE HAMMER, those sources say.

Montgomery claims that Brennan and Clapper used the super-surveillance system Montgomery designed to spy on Article III federal judges, including the onetime head of the FISA court Judge Reggie Walton, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and Chief Justice of U.S. Supreme Court John Roberts.

Montgomery’s revelations about his super-surveillance system THE HAMMER call into question Chief Justice Robert’s strange and inexplicable 2012 decision that stood in direct opposition to his own stated legal argument. At the eleventh hour, Roberts flipped and supported the individual mandate for President Obama’s highly unpopular Affordable Care Act.

Montgomery, who is constrained by non-disclosure agreements, has spoken about the system but has not publicly identified the system by name. The secretly-recorded “Whistleblower Tapes” identify the name of the system as “THE HAMMER,” as we first reported in our March 17, 2017 exclusive exposé. The March 2017 WikiLeaks CIA Vault 7 document dump confirms the name of the system as THE HAMMER (HAMR).

Military sources, we can now report exclusively, confirm the existence of the super-surveillance system known as THE HAMMER. Those sources caution that the super-surveillance system was only to be used for foreign surveillance.

Comey Knew

In August 2015, Montgomery turned over to FBI General Counsel James Baker, who represented the office of FBI Director Comey, physical evidence, in the form of 47 computer hard drives containing 600 million pages of documents.

Montgomery maintains that the data on the hard drives prove the existence of THE HAMMER and prove that Brennan and Clapper engaged in illegal domestic surveillance, despite the existence of safeguards that were already in place.

On August 19, 2015, Montgomery turned over the hard drives under two immunity agreements struck with the U.S. Department of Justice. The 600 million pages of documents stored on those hard drives, when stacked one upon another, would measure a stunning thirty miles high, says Montgomery.

The FBI provided Montgomery with a detailed receipt for the 47 hard drives, including handwritten descriptions of each and every hard drive.



FBI Director Jim Comey took Montgomery’s evidence and buried it.

Montgomery’s claim that Obama, Brennan, and Clapper illegally spied on millions of Americans is by itself explosive.

Montgomery’s identification, by name, of one particular U.S. citizen that Montgomery insists was under constant surveillance “for years” by Obama, Brennan, and Clapper via THE HAMMER has led Obama’s inner circle to take desperate measures.

The name of that U.S. citizen targeted by THE HAMMER is Donald J. Trump.

Whistleblower Tapes: Trump Wiretapped "A Zillion Times" By 'The Hammer,' Brennan’s and Clapper's Secret Computer System - The American Report

The Whistleblower Tapes released by U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow reveal that Donald Trump was wiretapped a “zillion times.”

The CIA feared Trump, maintains Montgomery.

Donald Trump and his late father Fred Trump are both known for their lifelong aversion to communism.

President Obama’s CIA Director, admitted communist John Brennan, feared Trump.

As we previously reported, Brennan and Comey both affirmed their belief in communism.

We noted in our May 12, 2019 exlusive exposé connecting “THE HAMMER” to FBI Director Comey’s launch of the Trump Russia Collusion investigation that John Brennan admitted  during his initial CIA polygraph test that he voted for Communist Party USA (CPUSA) candidate Gus Hall in the 1976 presidential election.

Comey, we simultaneously reported, told New York Magazine “I’d moved from Communist to whatever I am now."

Frank Marshall Davis, President Barack Obama’s mentor during Obama’s formative years in Hawaii, was a card-carrying Communist Party USA member (CPUSA member #47544) and suspected KGB agent who was listed on the FBI’s Security Index, Davis’s lengthy FBI file reveals. According to Paul Kengor, “Davis hailed Joe Stalin’s state for its alleged freedom and democracy.”

Stalin could only have dreamed of a Soviet surveillance system with capabilities approaching those of THE HAMMER. Russian historian Alexander Solzhenitsyn says that Stalin murdered 60 million of his own countrymen during his reign of terror.

With THE HAMMER, Brennan, Clapper, and Obama were implementing a political system — communism — that is antithetical to America’s system of justice and to the U.S. Constitution.  

Under the U.S. Constitution, the purpose of American government is to secure the rights of each American to life, liberty, and private property.

Brennan, Clapper, and Obama illegally used THE HAMMER as a technological instrument of tyranny in order to take away Americans’ inalienable rights as outlined under the U.S. Constitution.

These conspirators transformed a high technology tool designed to protect the American people from foreign threats into a tool of tyranny.

During a 2017 radio interview with his attorney Larry Klayman, Montgomery explained:

I provided to the FBI seventeen businesses of Donald Trump, including the Trump Tower, the Trump leasing programs, all of these different programs, and including Trump himself and the various family members that had been wiretapped under these programs. There has been a wiretap on Trump for years...

...I was a CIA contractor both under John Brennan and under James Clapper and these individuals were running domestic surveillance programs in the United States collecting information on Americans...they collected everything they could find. Bank accounts, phone numbers, chats, emails, and they collected a massive amount of it under the Obama administration.

According to sources, Comey was the general counsel and senior vice president of Lockheed Martin when Montgomery was paid $8,000 to use a supercomputer at a Lockheed facility in the Los Angeles area to collate the tranche of data harvested by The Hammer into individual files for each of the individuals being targeted

“The proof of Donald Trump being wiretapped is in the documents that were handed over to the FBI” Attorney Klayman told reporter Fanning.

Brennan and Clapper covertly operated THE HAMMER out of a U.S. government facility in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Fort Washington, Maryland, according to the secretly-recorded audio tapes released by a U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow in 2015.

From September 13, 2001 until June 2006, Clapper was the director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), known until 2003 as the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA).  Clapper’s previous post as NGA director is an important detail because NGA is known to operate out of Fort Washington.

Obama and his henchmen were using THE HAMMER to create a tyrannical police state in America worthy of the East German Stasi or Hitler’s Gestapo.

According to Montgomery, the FBI, under Director Robert Mueller’s leadership, provided the computers for THE HAMMER super-surveillance system.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion investigation entirely cleared President Donald Trump of collusion with the Russians.

Regardless of the evidence and the $35 million dollar two-year investigation, many, including John Brennan and James Clapper and, according to Democrats’ spin, Robert Mueller himself, continue to smear and characterize President Trump as guilty of collusion and treason.

THE HAMMER Was Ground Zero Of the Trump Russia Collusion Hoax; Obama Administration Insiders Are Panicking

As Department of Justice investigators begin the hunt for the true origins of the Russia collusion investigation, Democrat insiders are beginning to unravel. Blood is in the water. And it is their own.

Brennan, Clapper, and Comey are maintaining and even ramping up their relentless tempo of frenetic television appearances as they struggle to keep their stories straight.  The conspirators are turning on one another.

COUP D'ÉTAT: DOJ, FBI OFFICIALS ON MUELLER’S RUSSIA TEAM IN COVER UP OF MUELLER’S, CLAPPER’S, AND BRENNAN’S SURVEILLANCE ‘HAMMER’ THAT SPIED ON TRUMP, STRZOK-PAGE TEXT SHOWS - The American Report

Many of these insiders appear to be well aware of THE HAMMER and of the Obama administration’s illegal surveillance of Donald Trump.

Evelyn Farkas, a former Obama administration Defense Department official and Russia specialist, blurted out during a March 2, 2017 television appearance on MSNBC “the Trump folks if they found out how we knew what we knew about the Trump staff dealing with Russians that they would try to compromise the sources and methods meaning that we would no longer have access to that intelligence.”

The unravelling of the Russia collusion scheme and the coup d'etat will lead to the trial of the century that will make the Rosenbergs look like small-time crooks.

Our May 12, 2019 exclusive feature investigation “Comey Launched Trump Russia Investigation Day After General Exposed ‘The Hammer’” first identified THE HAMMER as ground zero of the Trump Russia collusion investigation.

The Russia Collusion investigation was a coup launched in response to the exposure of THE HAMMER.

When two four-star flag officers of sterling reputation brought THE HAMMER to America’s airwaves the Deep State panicked.

U.S. Air Force General Thomas McInerney (Ret.), U.S. Navy Admiral James A. “Ace” Lyons (Ret.), and Dr. Dave Janda, during the March 19, 2017 broadcast of Janda’s “Operation Freedom” terrestrial radio program, dared to bring the truth to the American people.

Within a matter of hours, the Deep State jumped into action.

COMEY LAUNCHED TRUMP RUSSIA INVESTIGATION DAY AFTER GENERAL EXPOSED ‘THE HAMMER’ - The American Report

Fanning and Jones revealed on May 12, 2019 at The American Report:

FBI Deputy Assistant Director of the Counterintelligence Division Peter Strzok and his supposed paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, exchanged a cryptic, indeed coded, text message on Sunday, March 19, 2017, twenty-six minutes after retired U.S. Air Force Four Star General Thomas McInerney read our exclusive “Whistleblower Tapes” exposé over America’s airwaves, revealing “The Hammer”...

...Late that Sunday evening, just hours after General McInerney’s radio appearance, Strzok and Page exchanged a text message that explicitly referenced Dennis Montgomery and Montgomery’s attorney Larry E. Klayman.

General McInerney appeared on Dr. Dave Janda’s “Operation Freedom” that broadcasts from terrestrial radio station WAAM 1600.

The next morning, the Russian Collusion investigation was born.

Early the following morning, Monday, March 20, 2017, FBI Director Jim Comey announced before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence that the FBI Counterintelligence Division, where Strzok served as Deputy Assistant Director, was investigating Trump’s connections to the Kremlin, and that the FBI had “no information” to support Trump’s tweet claiming that President Obama wiretapped Trump.

Montgomery’s Journey From Computer Genius To Enemy Of The Deep State

Dennis Montgomery was celebrated and hailed from many quarters as a “computer genius.”

Montgomery was later reduced from whistleblower to enemy number one of the Deep State, with purpose and forethought. Those holding and abusing positions of power within the intelligence community who had previously hired Dennis Montgomery as a national security contractor for classified projects could not afford to have him expose their duplicitous and treasonous actions.

“IT IS NOT THE FACTS THAT MATTER, IT IS THE PERCEPTION”

Montgomery claims that the FBI buried its investigation into his federal whistleblower claims about illegal domestic surveillance and that U.S. intelligence agencies, several years earlier, attempted to destroy his reputation.

According to Montgomery, the same intelligence agencies, after they had finished smearing his reputation, quietly rehired him.

In 2011, James Risen and Eric Lichtblau authored a New York Times article in which they painted Montgomery as a fraud, citing CIA sources.

In 2016, Montgomery sued Risen and the publisher of Risen’s book Pay any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War for defamation over a chapter that portrayed Montgomery’s work for the U.S. government as a hoax.

Lichtblau has been exposed. Lichtblau, who was working as CNN editor, and two other reporters resigned from CNN in June 2017 after CNN retracted their discredited story linking the Trump transition team to a Russian investment fund. Only two months earlier, CNN had recruited Lichtblau to its investigative unit.

Montgomery stated in an interview with Larry Klayman:

They [the intelligence agencies] leaked false information about me in 2009 and 2011 to the press to discredit me in case their domestic surveillance programs ever became public. Somebody leaked my name to [New York Times reporter James Risen] saying that my work for the government didn’t work and so forth, which is ridiculous.

My work saved lives…he knew that I could not respond to his [Risen’s] articles because I was under U.S. protective gag order on me saying I could not respond to anything, and I had the state secrets privilege filed against me that if I would have violated I would have been charged with treason under the U.S. Espionage Act…

...Stroke or no stroke, I am going to expose the CIA and NSA misdeeds until the American people know the truth. I have put my family for years at great risk by coming forward. This is my last stand for America.

BESA Center Perspectives Paper No. 500, June 17, 2017

…if the campaign is protracted, the resources of the State will not be equal to the strain.”
– Sun Tzu

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: “America will not lead from behind. America First does not mean America alone. It is a commitment to protecting and advancing our vital interests…” So wrote President Donald Trump’s NSA, General H.R. McMaster, with Gary Cohn, head of the National Economic Council, in the Wall Street Journal. What follows is a discussion of US leaders’ failed strategies in several wars, Trump’s team of generals, and the emerging Trump doctrine, which is here termed “strategic savvy”.

1964 Vietnam War; “Lies that Led to Vietnam”

Bullet-headed Lt. General H.R. McMaster, the US National Security Adviser, is not just a brave warrior. Like his mentor, General David Petraeus, he is a prominent military intellectual. Both men wrote their PhD dissertations on the lessons of Vietnam. In The American Military and the Lessons of Vietnam, Petraeus concluded, “…significant emphasis should be given to counterinsurgency forces, equipment and doctrine.” McMasters’s thesis, Dereliction of Duty, addressed the roles of LBJ and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. His subtitle was “Lies that Led to Vietnam.”

On August 4, 1964, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was pushed through Congress authorizing military action against North Vietnam as “vital” to US national interests. It sought to punish Hanoi for an allegedly unprovoked attack by three torpedo boats on a US destroyer in the Gulf of Tonkin. In fact, it had not been unprovoked; the US had made repeated prior attacks on the North Vietnamese coast.

The major reason for the American war against North Vietnam, asserts McMaster, was the then-upcoming 1964 presidential election. To Johnson, the prime enemy that summer was not the North Vietnamese but his GOP opponent, Barry Goldwater, who had accused the president of being soft on communism. In response, LBJ and McNamara misrepresented the facts and the pretext for sending US ground forces to Vietnam, and deliberately concealed the costs of war. McNamara’s thinking was shaped by his “whiz kids,” DOD civilian nerds, who lacked combat experience and arrogantly believed quantitative statistical analysis could compensate for their deficits in geopolitics, history, and military strategy.

Boasting that he had won his election “bigger than anybody had won ever,” LBJ endorsed McNamara’s strategy of gradual pressure on Hanoi, seeking to wear it down by “attrition.” To McMaster, this was “not a strategy but a lack of it … reinforcing arrogance, weakness, lying in the pursuit of self-interest and above all dereliction of duty to the American people.”

2001 War of Necessity in Afghanistan

In this century, the one war the US won – at least in its initial stage – was Afghanistan. There, following the 9/11 attack on the US homeland, President George Bush defended America’s vital national interests. Nor was this a regular DoD operation by the US army. US forces consisted of CIA operators, Special Forces, and an anti-Taliban Afghan resistance, the Northern Alliance. The 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade was also involved, commanded by the current Defense Secretary, then Major General James Mattis, USMC. In addition, the US was given logistical help by Russian President Vladimir Putin, then Bush’s strategic partner. Within three months, the US had defeated its foe, liberated Kabul, and changed the regime.

2003 War of Choice in Iraq  

But afterwards, as Paula Broadwell observed, the initial brilliant success in Afghanistan “was squandered when the US marched headlong into Iraq in early 2003.” Instead of finishing the war of necessity in Afghanistan, Washington entered into a war of choice with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein – who had had nothing to do with 9/11.

Why? In the words of historian Jean Edward Smiththe president tried to sell the war on the basis of “the flimsy notion that he was removing a potential threat to the United States” because Saddam might have WMD. That threat proved to be nonexistent. In addition, as a born-again Christian, Bush believed he was divinely guided to bring democracy to the Iraqi people.

On August 4, 2002, the 38th anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, Senator Chuck Hagel, a distinguished Vietnam veteran, told Congress, “We didn’t ask any questions before we got into Vietnam … this is why it’s important to do so now.” Two senior members of Bush’s team did so: Secretary of the Treasury Paul O’Neill, who questioned the costs of war in Iraq; and Secretary of State General (ret.) Colin Powell, who prophesied ethnic divisions and insurgency. Both were subsequently marginalized by the Bush administration.

Like McNamara, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and his two principal assistants, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith, lacked the combat experience necessary to make sound military decisions. In the end, the one who did have it – Powell – was proven right. He and Bob Richer, then head of the CIA’s Middle East Division, also blamed Bush’s NSA, Condoleezza Rice, for the subsequent attempt at instant democratic nation-building. As Richer explained, “Rice’s vision that Iraq had to look like us overnight was catastrophic.” The president, he observed, “was a realist, but he listened to her and was swayed.”

US forces were sufficient to topple Saddam following a major invasion. But instead of liberating the Iraqis, the Americans became hated occupiers. This gave rise to a Sunni insurgency, during which the US fired the Iraqi military without setting up a stipend program for the soldiers and their families (thus compelling them to subsist on nothing for five long weeks). The US then fired all Baath Party members down to Level 4 without any agreed reconciliation process. This gave tens of thousands of influential Iraqis – often Western-educated – an incentive to oppose the new Iraq rather than support it.

In the ensuing struggle over leadership, a virtual civil war erupted between Sunnis and Shiites, with Kurds in the mix as well – not to mention al-Qaeda, which was rising in the Sunni community in Iraq. The unfinished war in Afghanistan and the unending, Vietnam-like quagmire in Iraq produced two growing insurgencies.

The Surge of Petraeus and his “Shipmate” Mattis

Before he became, in early February 2007, Commander of Multi-National Forces in Iraq, General David Petraeus worked with Mattis to lead a prominent team of US Army and Marine experts on an Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Referred to as “King David’s Bible,” this manual became an outstanding social science study of insurgencies and counter-insurgencies, as well as a guide to how to win the hearts and minds of Iraqis (and Afghans).

Those principles and techniques were applied by the forces under Petraeus in Iraq for over 19 months in 2007-08. The Surge, as the effort was known (due to the deployment of well over 25,000 additional American forces), ushered in a new strategy that was a 180-degree shift from the previous one, which had been assessed as failing in December 2006 by then-commander and ambassador Ryan Crocker.

The result was an 85% reduction in the level of violence and significant progress in a host of areas. President Bush deserves enormous credit for supporting the deployment of additional forces and for backing Petraeus and Crocker.

In late 2011, after some three years of further progress and additional reductions in violence, President Barack Obama decided to withdraw the remaining US combat forces and the last four-star US commander, leaving only a modest training mission.  He reportedly was concerned that there would not be an Iraqi parliament-approved Status of Forces Agreement. Iraqi PM Maliki subsequently pursued ruinous sectarian measures – orchestrating legal charges against the Sunni Arab Vice President and his security detail, and later targeting the Sunni Arab Finance Minister and a prominent Sunni Arab parliamentarian. He returned to Iraqi military and police units abusive Iraqi leaders whom General Petraeus had insisted be removed before US support would be provided, then had those forces put down peaceful Sunni demonstrations very violently. He stopped honoring agreements to provide various forms of assistance to tens of thousands of former Sunni insurgents who had reconciled with the government during the Surge.

Tragically, these actions undid much of what coalition and Iraqi forces had sacrificed to achieve, and the Sunni insurgency in Iraq began to rise again. Islamic State arose out of the ashes of the defeated al-Qaeda in Iraq.

2011: Obama‘s Leading from Behind in Libya

In 2011, to make matters even worse, Obama and his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, began to militate for yet another war, this time in Libya at the height of the “Arab Spring.” They did not heed Defense Secretary Robert Gates’s strenuous objections that it did not encompass “our vital national interests,” especially amidst two ongoing wars in the Middle East. Nor did Obama consider the war’s costs. Once again, the naysayer was ignored. Nine days later, Gates resigned.

Like LBJ and McNamara in Vietnam and Bush and Rice in Iraq, Obama and Clinton engaged in deceit about the real purpose of the war. Clinton argued that a NATO intervention was urgently needed to avert a massacre of Libyan civilians by Muammar Qaddafi’s troops. But her subsequently hacked e-mails substantiated that the real objective was regime change in the service of democratic nation-building.

After the rebels murdered Qaddafi, Libya, like Iraq earlier, became a paradise for tribal fighters and jihadists, and there ensued a significant flow of migrants to Europe. None of this chastened Clinton. She began to support secretly arming the Syrian rebels in a proxy war with both its dictator Assad and his patron, Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Obama’s Strategic Patience  

On June 11, 2011, Obama announced that he would withdraw 10,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of December 2011 and the rest of the 30,000-member surge force by July 2012 (i.e., before the Democratic Party convention). Once again there arose a troublesome naysayer.

General David Petraeus objected to the premature withdrawal. Aware as he was of the actual situation on the ground, he was adamant that the projected timing of the draw-down would jeopardize the progress made in the previous year of the surge in Afghanistan. Obama was forced to compromise, but did not forget Petraeus.

Rahm Emmanuel, Obama’s chief of staff and one of the president’s loyalists, suspected that Petraeus was contemplating his own presidential run in 2016. It did not help that Petraeus emphatically told Emmanuel he wasn’t. Two days after the 2012 presidential election, Petraeus resigned his post as CIA director because of an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. (The mishandling of classified information did not surface until months later.) When historian Smith queried “whether the Obama administration had taken advantage of his affair to cut his head off,” Petraeus smiled, but did not reply.

Towards Strategic Savvy

If there is any solace for Washington’s numerous follies in the Middle East, it is Donald Trump’s selection of an outstanding national security team: Mattis, McMaster, and General John Kelly (Homeland Security). With Trump’s election, America saw the dawn of a new doctrine to replace “strategic patience,” leading from behind, and the absence of strategy. We call the new approach “strategic savvy,” meaning the judicious use of military force, diplomacy, and economic instruments. Petraeus describes it as a “comprehensive and sustainable commitment” in defense of American vital national interests. The president and his security team seek to overturn policies that have produced only failed states, Islamist-fed chaos, growing terrorist attacks in Europe, and catastrophic debt.

We have witnessed the first actions defining this emerging doctrine. On April 7, 2017, US navy destroyers carried out a missile strike on a Syrian airfield in retribution for Assad’s use of chemical weapons against his subjects. A tactical move, it bore profound strategic significance, since it used judicious force to accomplish what Obama had failed to do in 2013 despite his own declared red line. So did the dropping of the “Mother of All Bombs” (MOAB, or Massive Ordnance Air Blast), the largest conventional bomb in the US arsenal, on ISIS fighters in Afghanistan on April 14.

Facing what Mattis has called a “clear and present danger” from North Korea, Trump’s team did not put the problem off in the manner of the past three US administrations. He is meeting it head on with an unprecedented deployment of three carrier groups with massive naval and air power. This is intended to send a clear message on the need to stop a maniacal leader from accomplishing a nuclear weaponization and delivery system that could eventually reach American shores. President Trump has communicated this need to Chinese President Xi very clearly as well. The era of Obama’s “strategic patience” is finally over.

Future presidents should consider replicating Trump’s placement of national security responsibilities in the hands of individuals with combat experience. America’s future leaders should be men and women with such experience combined with intellectual prowess.

In the meantime, the saga continues. Americans are transfixed by Russo-gate, much as they were by Watergate. President Trump’s political opponents seek to undo the results of the 2016 election by painting him as Putin’s Manchurian candidate.

Trump should now do what Obama did not: pardon Petraeus, whom Gates called “one of the nation’s great battle captains.” As Senator Rand Paul observed, Petraeus showed his personal journals, which did contain classified material, to only one person, an Army reserve intelligence officer with a top secret clearance. Her book was thoroughly checked for classified information and any sensitive political items by the then head of West Point’s Social Sciences Department, Colonel Mike Meese. The negligent Hillary Clinton, still unpunished, revealed classified material to the multitudes through her unsecured server.

Petraeus sympathizes with the beleaguered Trump’s predicament, but only to a certain extent. Like the authors, he realizes that Trump, a novice at presidential politics, has made big mistakes and then repeated them, making things worse.

In his final address as a general, Petraeus quoted Teddy Roosevelt’s 1910 Men in the Arena speech. The words are now surely applicable to both of them:

It is not the critic who counts … the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood … who errs and comes up short again and again … but who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, who spends himself for a triumph of high achievement and … if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

The authors are indebted to General David Petraeus for his comments and suggestions.

North Carolina’s Republican Party majority, NC General Assembly is to be commended for standing tall on HB2 legislation based on Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values as inscribed in our government structure by our Founding Fathers.

North Carolina’s Democrat Party must be criticized for their effort to shove an illegal and immortal legislation act into allowing men, women, and our children; girls and boys to use common bathrooms, locker rooms, etc. 

This Charlotte, NC original sickly legislation is likely to lead to more assaults, rapes, murders, etc.  This legislation is in support of LGBTQ -- meaning lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer.

It is sad as the Democrat Party, with the supported ‘Main-stream’ Medias, seem to have forgotten our Holy Bible, the Bill of Rights. our Constitution, the Founding Fathers, our Federalist Papers, and our more than 1,500,000 Americans who have given their lives in battle in protecting our USA, our Constitution, and our American flag.

A few of these Judeo-Christian values come from the Hold Bible, KJV; Genesis 19:1-5; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:26-27.  Read it and learn.

It is an American disgrace as to how the Democrat Party and the ‘Main-stream’ Medias has forgotten, ignored, and/or failed to show more love and respect for all of the above.

Yes, the North Carolina Republican Party majority, NC General Assembly are to be commended for their honorable work in maintaining HB2 legislation in our great state.

President Donald Trump says it is time to drain the swamp.  More importantly, it is time to drain and cleanse the sewer.

4064295409?profile=original

The Democrat Party, are leading ‘left-wing’ supporting businesses, most ‘Main-stream’ Medias, and surprisingly, the NAACP, once led by Dr. Martin Luther King are splitting from Constitutional freedoms based on Judeo-Christian values.  What a sad day?

These groups, businesses, individuals, and others are turning America’s Constitution into an immoral sewer.

The City of Charlotte, NC made a change in local law intended to reject God’s Law as instructed in our Holy Bible; thus allowing transgender people to choose public bathrooms together that correspond to their gender identity, as they choose; all in support of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) lifestyles.

Charlotte, NC City Council legislation goes so far to the left so as to allow men and women to share bathrooms with children; regardless of their sexes?

Charlotte, NC Democrat Mayor, Jennifer Roberts, and a Democrat Party majority led on a 7 to 4 vote, and fully supported this radical change in Charlotte, NC’s City Council law.

In an effort to save our North Carolina’s Constitutional freedoms based Judeo-Christian laws, the NC Republican Party’s General Assembly wrote and passed legislation; HB2, in an effort to restore and maintain a normal, safer, and moral lifestyle.

Over this last year, North Carolina’s Republican Party’s majority in both houses of the General Assembly and in support of North legislation, HB2, has been attacked by the Charlotte City Council, The NC Democrat Party and the Democrat National Committee, along with most ‘Main-Stream’ Medias, the NFL, the NBA, etc.; all chastising the NC Republican Party’s NC General Assembly for passing this moral legislation against Charlotte, NC’s City Council immoral legislation.

It is Charlotte, NC’s City Council, and the associated NC Democrat Party, along with most ‘Main-stream’ Medias who are supporting legislation that is immoral, left-wing, and radical; whereas, destroying our  children.  Those who support NC’s ’HB2 legislation all support and protect our children.

President Trump, protect our children.  It is time to drain and cleanse the sewer.

DAVID PETRAEUS IS BEST CANDIDATE FOR NSA

JVLV: DAVID PETRAEUS IS BEST CANDIDATE FOR NSA!

Edit article

                                    By Jiri Valenta with Leni Friedman Valenta

                                                         February 15, 2017

                           Unafraid, Bi-Partisan, Uphold U.S. and Freedom

Unsurprisingly, in light of Michael Flynn’s resignation, there is a heated, nationwide debate ongoing over President’s replacement of Flynn and its significance. We forget Ronald Reagan went through several NSAs during his tenure. 

As during WWII and the turmoil that followed, we are living in times of great disorder and chaos. For Trump, General David Petraeus would be a uniquely excellent choice as NSA for these dangerous times. A warrior, but also a military intellectual, he possesses multiple capabilities in both the arts of war and the peace making.

He also has specific experience in the Middle East. In 2003 his 101st contributed centrally during the fight to Baghdad and then air assaulted north to Mosul, where he and his troopers pioneered a strategy of winning minds and hearts of Iraqi people. He returned after that year to establish the so-called train and equip effort as a three-star general. His powerful manual on counter -insurgency, written together with then-LtGen James “Mad Dog” Mattis, was put to good use when Petraeus admirably commanded the 2007-8 Surge in Iraq. If Petraeus is appointed, the troika of 4-star generals Mattis-Petraeus-and DHS John Kelley would be the bedrock of our national security apparatus.

Petraeus has no close relations with Russian counterparts. And he is unusually nonpartisan-- like Ike. During the 2016 election he neither became a cheerleader for Hillary, as did his colleague General Allen, nor a cheerleader for Trump, like Flynn, declaring “lock her up.” And he has stayed very much in the mix, testifying for three hours most recently two weeks ago before the HASC on “The State of the World.”

With the strongest support among both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, Petraeus would likely pose no confirmation problem – and, in fact, no confirmation is needed for National Security Advisor. Generally well regarded by the Democrats, he is also admired by another national hero, prominent Republican Senator John McCain. Thus he could help to smooth out uneasy relations between the president and the senator. 

David has one other essential quality --a propensity to speak his mind to his superiors. A military intellectual, he had a 14-month stint as CIA Director, 2011-1012. His resignation because of his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, a fellow West Point graduate and reserve intelligence officer with whom he was later shown to have improperly shared his personal journals, which contained classified material – albeit none of which she included in her biography. 

Again, none of what was improperly shared appeared in her book, entitled All In. In fact, West Point military intellectual, now-Brigadier General (Ret) Michael Meese, Petraeus’ deputy chief of staff in Afghanistan, reviewed the manuscript before publication to confirm that it did not contain any possible national security secrets. Damn good book! The naysayers should read it.

Unlike Hillary, the general did not use an illegal private server with thousands of negligent official e-mails, that surely revealed our national security secrets to our friends and foes alike.

 We also know that unlike Hillary acolyte, former Deputy Director of the CIA Mike Morell, he was not enthusiastic about the famous, scrubbed talking points prepared for Susan Rice on Benghazi-gate. He did not reveal any of this to us, yet from other reliable sources it appears he objected to them. Was that why he was replaced by the author of those alterations, Mike Morell?

We also know the general stood up to his commander-in-chief, Barack Obama, when the President, for political reasons, tried to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan prematurely due to coming 2012 election. He objected even more vehemently than Defense Secretary Robert Gates!

 Petraeus admits he made a mistake with Broadwell. Yet his was mistake of the heart, something we used to tolerate, as in the case of another brilliant commander -- General Ike Eisenhower. Ike’s affair with his Scottish military chauffeur, Kay Sommersby, was well known. Imagine if FDR had treated Ike as Obama did David. We might have jeopardized Operation Overlord -- the 1944 Liberation of Europe

General Petraeus, the patriotic soldier believes that if an American president calls upon you to serve the country, you don’t have any choice but to accept. If Trump is wise, he will make the call.

Prominent national security expert, Dr. Jiri Valenta is the author/editor of several books, and a long-standing member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He, with his co-writer, Yaleite Leni Friedman Valenta, editor-in-chief of their institute’s website, jvlv.net, is working on a forthcoming book, Four Follies of American Foreign Policy-Making.

Matt Daly for NC Senate District 35

 

On July 4, 2002, I suffered a stroke. Upon awakening, I did not even know my own son.  My Neurosurgeon told me my brain was damaged and I would never work again.

A year or so later, I discontinued paying my NC Heating and Air Conditioning state license. 

As a Union County, NC commercial and industrial Heating and A/C contractor, now Sen. Tommy Tucker, as a vendor, called on me to sell me HVAC equipment.  Knowing Mr. Tucker, I told him I could purchase equal of higher equipment at lower prices. 

Some 12 years after my stroke and with God’s help and hard work, my health had improved.  I decided to return to the HVAC business as a licensee for another company so as to expand their business and create more jobs in our community; as I also needed the income. 

In doing so, and inasmuch as a licensee for years, I had no blemishes on my record with the NC State Board, I submitted a plan to Sen. Tommy Tucker asking him to submit a simple change in legislation to the General Assembly so as I could recover my HVAC License without being forced to start over, just as most other professionals are allowed to do so. 

Mr. Tucker called me to tell me the State Board laws had been in place for a number of years and he would not introduce any changes.  Over the years, Sen. Tucker has supported many, many changes within this State Board’s laws.  See a simple example for legislative changes in the 2013 Session and my 2014 legislative proposal: http://conservativechristianvoice.blogspot.com/search?q=Several+changes+in+the+NC+State+Board+by+NC+General+Assembly+in+one+session+of+the+2013+Session.

Senator Tucker went on to tell me he had checked my record and found that I had an ‘impeccable’ record with the NC State Board.  If Tucker had already made his decision, why did he check my record with the State Board? 

With this grind, and after I have researched and endorsed GOP candidate Matt Daly for NC Senate District 35 from Waxhaw, NC, I am asking voters to consider your support for a young conservative Republican candidate, Matthew Daly for NC Senate District 35.  

Matt Daly is a dedicated Pro-Life candidate, supporter of the 2nd Amendment, and strongly opposes amnesty for ‘illegal’ immigrants http://www.dalyforncsenate.com/.

In placing out-of-state purchases on the Internet, North Carolina’s and associated local county/city governments receive their appropriate portion of the applicable sales tax based on the home purchasers’ home address origination.

 

On the other hand, when I purchase a product via telephone in NC, the sales taxes are distributed to the county/city government(s); based on the businesses address location; not the purchasers’ home address origination.

 

If a salesperson calls on you at home, purchased applicable local sales taxes go to the county/city government(s); based on the applicable businesses address location; not the purchasers’ home address origination.

 

When you and I purchase products in person from our homes, on the telephone, on the Internet, etc., the applicable local sales taxes should go the county/city of purchasers’ home address origination.

 

Sales taxes paid on purchased products in a store you visit in another county should continue as with the current county/city government sales tax distribution.

 

New legislation is essential in correcting an overdue wrong by providing working men and women of NC and their local governments a fairer way to assure that ‘sales taxes paid at home stay at home’.

Did 2 New York City police officers die on December 20, 2014 due to the criminally led leaders of public officials?  Should tax-evading Al Sharpton be indicted for encouraging a crime as they walk the streets chanting out: "What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_qkvXLuGsc

Should Democrat Party’s President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Obama’s leading tax-evading Al Sharpton, and others like New York Mayor Bill de Blasio and Republican Party Sen. Rand Paul’s unprofessional remarks be held responsible for encouraging the killing of 2  New Your City police officers?

President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Obama’s leading tax-evading Al Sharpton encourage criminal activity to protest, riot, vandalize, loot, and burn their communities.  Al Sharpton leads protestors in New York City as they shouted to what they want was “Dead Cops”.

President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder should be leading the way to prosecute and ascertain convictions to all leaders organizing criminal activity.  Left-wing activists, led by the White House, are destroying our nation; using the First Amendment, ‘Freedom of Speech’ as their ‘Right’.

Sen. Rand Paul has gotten onboard with some leftists as he expresses his desires to put more restrictions onto our Police officers whom face their own deaths daily. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/08/14/rand-paul-police-militarization-makes-americans-esp-blacks-feel-gov-t-is-targeting-them/

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says (y)our police officers are too busy militarizing their police departments.

While Sen. Rand Paul is attempting to attract more minorities into his political camp while he campaigns in an effort to become a GOP candidate for President of the United States, he is criticizing our police officers and their police departments.

 On this issue, it is time for Sen. Rand Paul to fold his campaign tent and become more interested in protecting our US Military, our federal, state, and local law enforcement organization before he assists Al Sharpton’s left-wing criminals who continue to protest, riot, vandalize, loot, and burn others properties.

 To stop the criminal activity, everyone involved, including our political leaders, must be held accountable.

The Shredding of the United States Constitution by the Office of the President and the NSA

        Since the 1950’s and the end of the cold war, the United States has had listening posts that trapped and recorded phone conversations of people and governments around the world. My brother worked at a facility outside of Miami, Florida on an island doing just that for RCA under a military contract in the 1980’s.

          He once told me that they intercepted every phone call made in the Western Hemisphere north of a certain geographic location. He also said that he believed that this violated the United States Constitution. After many phone conversations, I convinced him to follow his conscience and find another job. He took my advice.

          The listening post still collects internet and phone traffic from the Western Hemisphere.

           In direct violation of the Fourth Amendment of the United States, the president has continued to wage an imaginary war against Al Qeda which is a creation of the CIA.

           Having viewed over 180 videos of 9/11 and read hundreds of pages of data, some of which were highly classified, I have constructed the following scenario of events that I believe are very accurate.

           Wanting to take control of the Iraqi oil fields and to carve them up under various contracts, George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and members of a secret NSA staff organization developed a plan to stage an invasion of the United States and blame that staged invasion on a rogue element of a Muslim CIA operation that had assisted them in fighting in Afghanistan.

           Enter Al Qeda as the figmented and imaginary terrorist organization. Osama Bin Laden was a CIA operative and was funded by the NSA until he became a liability and threatened to expose 9/11 and its inside actors.

           Claiming that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)’s was easy. It was well known that Russia, China, and Iran had been supplying Iraq with weapons, including chemical weapons for years. Iraq never had nuclear weapons with the exception of those sold to it by these countries.

           The connection between Iraq and the imaginary “Al Qeda” needed to be made to implement stage two of Cheney and Bush’s plan to invade Iraq and carve up the oil fields.

            The WMD’s however were never found as three weeks before the invasion of Iraq, the WMD’s were moved by truck into Russia where they still sit. How do I know this? I have over the years had long conversations with many high level personnel, and have done due diligence research.

             The coverup began when the discovery was made that there was no connection between Iraq and the imaginary Al Qeda. The “invasion” of the World Trade Center was an inside job and Thomas Hayden authorized it. He is still covering it up today.

            Now, we have an imaginary enemy which might strike us from anywhere, the question must be asked (if you don’t know that the enemy is imaginary) “How do we defend ourselves?” How do we protect ourselves from being found out as traitors to the United States of America that started an illegal war, that killed thousands of our own citizens, killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi citizens, and instituted an illegal, unconstitutional program of surveillance of every person on the entire planet?” “How do we get away with this?”

           Dick Cheney and Addington, his attorney drafted a document that  improperly applied the president’s war powers, in a war that he himself and Dick Cheney and the NSA had begun against the imaginary Al Qeda, giving the president unlimited power to violate the First and Fourth Amendmen rights of every citizen of the United States of America.

           We know that the attack on the Pentagon was a US Navy missile. We know that similar US Navy missiles hit both towers of the World Trade Center. The video evidence of these facts exists despite the attempts and efforts of the FBI, the CIA, and the NSA to seize them.

          We know that George Bush Jr. and Dick Cheney had Gen. Hayden lie to numerous people and illegally conduct illegal wiretaps without warrants of millions of United States citizens for the past (14) fourteen years.

          We know that there were numerous attempts to stop the illegal acts by many people in the NSA, but do the the greed of power, Hayden, Cheney, the Council on Foreign Relations and others needed this information to continue to provide a smokescreen for their illegal acts of the past and of the present.

          We know that the illegal seizure/collection of internet traffic and telephone calls continues even today. As an international consultant, every time I post on one of my many blogs, I immediately begin to receive a Denial of Service targeted at my computer and internet service.

         My email accounts have been hacked by the NSA a, the Secret Service, and the CIA. In fact, the NSA and its divisions read everything that I write and post. I could post a list of my laundry and a things to do list and it would be read and reposted throughout the NSA servers.

        When I challenged Obama’s fake birth certificate (he really was born in Africa, not the United States), I received several rude emails from White House staff, US Secret Service, and NSA personnel who said that they had indeed seen the forged and fake birth certificate of Barack Hussein Obama aka “Barry”. I know a fake document when I see one, and Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate that was presented was indeed a fake.

        The fake birth certificate just proved that Obama was just as big of a liar as George Bush Jr., Dick Cheney, and Thomas Hayden was.  Their acts of TREASON against the people of the United States will go down in history as the greatest invasion and attempted destruction of the United States Constitution in all of time immortal.

         So, the Patriot Act was introduced and downsized somewhat. Then came the unconstitutional FISA re-authorization which permits the collection and assembling of “meta-data” of every conversation that any person in the world has, in the interest of fighting imaginary terrorists.

         In the wake of the illegal activities by the NSA, many other countries, including England has begun collecting internet and telephone conversations as well.

         As an international consultant to the UN, the UN Economic Council, the IMF, the European Union, the European Union Human Rights Council, and thirty-four plus governments,  on human rights, economy issues, environmental, financial, and constitutional issues, I am abhorred at the outright abuse of the NSA, the CIA, JSOC, the UN Peacekeepers, and other terrorist organizations that are supposed to be defending the rights, freedoms, and liberties of citizens around the world.

         Instead of being a governments of the people, by the people, and for the people, the world’s governments have become governments that have set aside the basic human rights and natural rights of every citizen of the world in the vague attempt to protect us from ourselves and imaginary enemies.

          In February of last 2012, I wrote a New Constitution of the United States and a Proposed Constitution of the United European Union. the latter was banned in Germany on You Tube.

           If you want your world back, if you want your rights, liberties, and freedoms back, these documents give them back to you and take them away from corporations and spy agencies around the world.

           I will post them every opportunity that I can get in the attempt to thwart the illegal taking of our rights of free speech and other natural rights given to us by God Almighty.

The Proposed Constitution of the United States and the Proposed Constitution of the United European Union are also at winklepublishing.blogspot.com, realmoneyfrompocketchange.blogspot.com, and on both of my Tumblr blogs.

Here is the United States version, below it is the European Union version: take them, and implement them. Make them into law to protect yourself and your citizens from tyranny.

I ASK EACH ONE OF YOU TO DEMAND A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION THIS YEAR to adopt

The New Constitution of the United States of America
(Proposed Amended Version)
We, the citizens of the United States of America, assemble ourselves to create a new democracy, a true democracy that protects the individual rights of every citizen of the nation. In this time of mankind, that we find ourselves in, we see that it is more profitable to our spirits and to those of our neighbors, to work hand in hand with one another, for the benefit of all creation.
Article I. Rights.
Among these rights are liberty, life, freedom of speech without government interference or obstruction of any kind, freedom of religion, freedom to openly express their religious beliefs, freedom from tyranny imposed upon them by their government, economic freedom from financial tyranny imposed at the hand of any person or government (that among these rights are: the right to buy and sell, the right to barter, the right to be free from excessive usury fees (above 10%), the right to purchase and sell real estate without interference or obstruction by any government agency or authority lest it be taken as a seizure in part (whereby, the owner in possession must be doubly compensated for the properties’ value which can only be set by a jury of the property owner’s peers, the right to sue and be sued, the right to a fair and just wage, the right to a safe workplace, the right to be free from excessive prices for basic amenities such as: food, shelter, home heating fuels, clothing, transportation fees and fuels, communication services, medical expenses, insurance fees, and banking fees); and the right to buy and sell interest in any company or corporation at an agreed upon price between the buyer and the seller, freedom to peacefully assemble, the right to keep and bear arms for their personal defense and the defense against tyranny, and the freedom to seek redress from the government by any peaceful means, and the right of privacy; the right from unreasonable search or seizure of their persons, their homes, papers, effects, vehicles or their property of any kind without probable cause and without a warrant describing the persons, place, or property to be searched or seized and the sworn affidavit upon which the warrant was issued must be affirmed by a court of common jurisprudence, wherein in may be challenged, the right to a fair trial, the right to counsel at every point of criminal legal jeopardy, the right to be free from arrest without a warrant from a court of common pleas or higher court;
Furthermore, no citizen shall be held to answer for a criminal offense without indictment by a Grand Jury of their peers including members of the armed forces. All members of the armed forces shall be subject to a criminal trial of local jurisprudence if the crime was not committed on government property. No person shall be tried for the same offense, or be forced to provide oral or written evidence against themselves by any means including writing samples or be deprived of their liberty, life, or any kind of property without due process of the laws of this nation. No property may be taken by the state by any means without double compensation of the “fair price of that property.” No proceeding for eminent domain shall be held without the presence of a jury of the peers of the property holder who will be the sole judges of the value of the property.
All non-criminal offenses (those with incarceration of a period less than six months) shall be dealt with administratively by area Magistrates whose term shall be no longer than six years during their lifetime.
In all criminal cases the accused person(s) shall have the right of an impartial and speedy trial held in the area where the crime was alleged to have been committed, to be served the indictment against them, to have an attorney appointed to represent them, to hear the testimony from the witnesses’ mouths, to subpoena witnesses for their defense, and to one timely appeal at the expense of the nation.
In lawsuits involving amounts in excess of $1,000 US Dollars, the right to a trial by jury shall be preserved. Every fact tried by a jury may be appealed to a higher court if any of the rights mentioned in this document have been abused by the court.
Said higher court must then retry the case as an original case before the court if prejudice or a violation of the aforementioned rights is found to have taken place.
The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended under any circumstances including a national emergency. No bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.
In criminal cases, bail shall not exceed ten times the damage caused by the crime. Excessive fines shall not be imposed nor emotional, mental, physical, or psychological punishments be inflicted once the criminal is in custody. No prisoner may be tortured to gain testimony against themselves or others by any means.
No employee or contractor of any government agency shall by any means invade the privacy of any citizens of these United States of America.

The person charged shall be permitted a trial by a jury of the citizens of that state who shall be chosen at random.
The inclusion of any right or privilege by this document shall not interfere or obstruct any other right given to the citizens of the United States of America; however, the rights given in this document may not be taken away by judicial or legislative means or modified by any other means than a majority popular vote of the citizens of this nation.
A person charged with a felony who flees from justice, will be bound over to the federal courts for return back to the state where the offense was committed in order that justice may be done for both the victim and the accused criminal.
The judicial powers of the United States of America shall not obstruct any citizen from commencing litigation against any state or citizen of any state, or by citizens or subjects of any foreign country. Each state may initiate litigation against its citizens, and each citizen may initiate litigation against any state or citizen to obtain redress or property or any violation of any right or liberty herein included.
There shall be no involuntary servitude, even for criminals, as our nation’s moral laws are held to a higher standard, that every person shall be free from tyranny, and excessive punishment by the courts. The punishment issued by the court shall fit the crime. Leniency of the sentence or fine shall not be predetermined by the prosecutor in any prior arrangement with the judicial authority of the court.
All Federal Laws, Federal Court Rulings, and Executive Orders enacted from July 4, 1996 forward shall be null and void upon the ratification of this document and shall not be reinstated without a majority vote of the citizens of the United States of America. The ratification of this document serves to  give back to the citizens of these United States of America their rights, liberties, and freedoms that have been stolen from them by previous actions of various bodies of the government.
No state shall make or enforce any law which would interfere with any of the rights provided to the citizens by this document, or deny any person the right of equal protection under the laws and rights afforded by this document.

Said appeal will not extend the thirty day requirement for resignation if a finding of guilt is upheld by the court.

Said removal from office will occur thirty days from the date of the recall vote by the citizens of the nation or of the legislature.
The President may not declare war on any nation or its citizens without the approval of Congress, for such is an impeachable offense of treason which unduly causes harm to the nation and places the nation in the precarious possibility of being retaliated against.
The president and Vice- president shall both take an oath of office that they will execute their respective offices to the best of their ability, and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
The office of President and Vice President shall be filled by separate ballots to avoid corruption of the office of the presidency.

Said appointments and treaties shall require a majority vote of the Congress. The president shall have no right to executive powers to make laws. The president shall not have the right to declare war upon any nation without an act of congress, for such declaration is a high crime against the citizens of the nation and would require the immediate forfeiture of the office of the presidency.

In these matters, the nation must have justice rendered in its fullness.

Said appeal will not extend the thirty day requirement for resignation if a finding of guilt is upheld by the court.

Game on Obama & Clinton

You are responsible for Benghazi Murders

Who knew the attack on the Benghazi compound was a terrorist attack?

Obama, Clinton, General Petraeus, General Ham, Leon Panetta, General Dempsey, Gregory Hicks, Jarrett, Rice, Charlene Lamb, Jay Carney, President Mohamed Magariaf, CIA, Al Qaeda

           2 Men Muffled & Gagged

 

After Obama & Hillary briefed about terrorist attack, per testimony by top Generals, Panetta, Hicks and others neither one bothered to help our 4 brave American men.  Clinton under oath said, Obama contacted her about the terrorist attacks. Gregory Hicks also testified that he told Hillary Clinton.

                                                                   Las Vegas 9/12/12

 

Obama went to Las Vegas for campaign mentioning in speech that Al Qaeda was on the run.  Hillary’s job was to organize all the “Obama Gophers” including Rice, Carney, White House aides and the Liberal News media giving them their script that the Benghazi attack was due to a Youtube “video.”  Neither one had time to fight for our brave American men – that’s perverted politics folks!

Told Families their loved ones lost due to "Video"

Told Families their loved ones murdered due to “Video”

 

That night, while the attacks were still unfolding, and before Woods and Doherty were killed, Secretary of State Clinton released a statement–entitled “Statement on the Attack in Benghazi”– linking the attacks to an anti-Muslim video that had been posted on YouTube. – See more at:http://cnsnews.com/news/article/wh-obama-called-hillary-night-benghazi-attack-more-six-hours-after-it-started#sthash.EdvWl5b2.dpuf

So sometime within a six hour period after the Benghazi Terrorist attack, Clinton was doing what she does best “Lie.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR3XTOjZPfg  

.

Our four brave American men.

                                                             Our four brave American men.

.

Bottom-line – Obama & Clinton both knew about the terrorist attack in Benghazi.  Neither one did the job that they were hired to do… Obama was running for his second term, Clinton was cleaning her plate off for a stab at the Presidency in 2016.  So in there perverted thought process and in order to keep blood off their hands and to relinquish any responsibilities as Commander in Chief and Sec. of State they blamed the murders in Benghazi on a “Video.”

Congress do your job apprehend and bring to justice those responsible for the Benghazi Massacre.  It’s been 1 ½ years and the families of our 4 brave Patriots and all Americans deserve to know that justice has been served.

Did They Know?  When Did They Know?

Three questions that haunt Christopher Stevens, Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty and Sean Smith’s families and all Americans; (1) Did they know?, (2) When did they know?, and (3)Why didn’t they send help? 

So let’s back track to September 11, 2012 – we have 3 Generals, Sec. of Defense & a Joint Chief of Staff who just filled in the missing pieces about the Benghazi murders.  “Top Secret” testimony on the Benghazi terrorist attack was just recently declassified. 

4063831169?profile=original

According to declassified testimony obtained by Fox News, Ham -- who was working out of his Pentagon office on the afternoon of Sept. 11 -- said he learned about the assault on the consulate compound within 15 minutes of its commencement, at 9:42 p.m. Libya time, through a call he received from the AFRICOM Command Center. By James Rosen  Published January 14, 2014,  FoxNews.com

Gen. Carter Ham, who at the time was head of AFRICOM, the Defense Department combatant command with jurisdiction over Libya, told the House in classified testimony last year that it was him who broke the news about the unfolding situation in Benghazi to then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The tense briefing -- in which it was already known that U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens had been targeted and had gone missing -- occurred just before the two senior officials departed the Pentagon for their session with the commander in chief.  By James RosenPublished January 14, 2014, FoxNews.com

Sec. Panetta and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey briefed the Commander in Chief about the terrorist attack in Benghazi as it was happening?  After the President was briefed General Ham met again with Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey. 

Panetta was asked if he believed at the time this was a terrorist attack.  Leon Panetta responded saying, “There was no question in my mind that this was a terrorist attack.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/01/14/benghazi-transcripts-top-defense-officials-briefed-obama-on-attack-not-video-or/

CIA Director, General David Petraeus testified that the CIA believes the Benghazi attacks were conducted by terrorists, not a spontaneous demonstration. General Petraeus was in disagreement with Obama, Clinton & Rice’s talking points and wouldn’t play their political game. 

 http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83966.html#ixzz2t52nyWBz

So what we have here is a “Commander in Chief” who knew our American men in Benghazi were under terrorists attack and apparently he sneaked out of the White House to prepare for his campaign speech in Las Vegas.  Clinton hid in her dog house messaging the news media about a video during this time. 

Let’s check out Hillary Clinton (Sec of State,) the person while under oath said, “What difference does it make.”  The Senate Intelligence Committee after months of investigation and testimonies basically said the “buck stops here” pointing at the State Department and Clinton’s negligence and failure to do the job we Americans hired her for – the SIC stated in no uncertain terms that the Benghazi terrorist attack could have and should have been prevented.

Charlene Lamb (ex Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for international programs) testified that she followed the Benghazi Attack in real time. 

Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary of state for international programs, had this exchange with Rep. James Lankford (R-OK), describing how she followed via telephone the developments in the Benghazi attack as they were happening:

LANKFORD: Mrs. Lamb, can you clarify for me, where -- where were you working September 11? Were you in the Washington area -- were -- in the main facility there?

LAMB: Yes sir. I was in the D.S. Command center on the evening of the event.

LANKFORD: You -- you -- you note that in your testimony that you were in the Diplomatic Security Command Center and then you make this statement, "I could follow what was happening almost in real time." 

Here is one portion of Cheryl Lamb’s testimony that simply gives a way the fact that she thought help was on the way to Benghazi. 

Lamb:  Here is what she said, Sir, what was happening is they were making multiple phone calls and it was very important that they communicate with the annex in Tripoli because this is where additional resources were coming from. So they would hang up on us and then call back. It appears Military assistance was on its way???? 

Charlene was quickly snatched out of the “limelight” by Clinton and Cheryl Mills (Clinton”s Chief of Staff) muffled & gagged.  Charlene holds a very important key to Clinton’s whereabouts the night of the Benghazi attack. Cheryl Mills according to Gregory Hicks testimony is the one who ordered Gregory Hicks not to meet alone with Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) when he visited Libya following the attack.

We’ll never know who was communicating with whom during the 6 hours since the attack on our embassy, but we know someone nabbed “Rice” to do their dirty work.  Here’s the sequence of events.

Remember Obama and Gregory Hicks notified Hillary Clinton of the Benghazi attack which according to Politico started about 4:00 Eastern Standard Time or 10:00 PM Benghazi time –Clinton was obviously quite involved with covering her “ass” and Obama’s at this time.  So Obama, Clinton & without a doubt Jarrett were busy spinning the web of deception because of the upcoming Presidential election.  

Around 10 PM EST, Hillary issued a statement that one State official had been killed in an attack on the Benghazi Consulate along with a reference about about a video - MSNBC posted this information around 10:30EST including the mention of the video.  Hillary continued messaging, so sometime in a 6 hour interim (4:oo PM to 10:00PM) Obama, Clinton and probably Jarrett created the worst scandal in all of America's history. 

Obama went to Las Vegas to campaign, Rice appears on five Sunday shows saying the murders in Benghazi was due to a group of protesters over a video. 

Sept. 16: Libya President Mohamed Magariaf says on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” that the attack on the U.S. consulate was planned months in advance.  Magariaf also said, Magariaf also said the idea that the attack was a “spontaneous protest that just spun out of control is completely unfounded and preposterous.” Rice pounced on President Magariaf’s statement calling him everything but a liar 

Obama & Clinton created a 70,000 dollar ad on Pakistani Television denouncing the Anti-Muslim Video.  For weeks after the Benghazi massacre, Obama, Clinton, Rice, Carney & the Liberal news media beat this lie to death.

3 Generals, Sec. of Defense & a Joint Chief of Staff all verified that Obama knew that the attack on our embassy was a terrorist attack.  Hillary was notified about the terrorist attack by the Commander in Chief and Gregory Hicks. 

Petraeus, Ham, Charlene Lamb, Gregory Hicks and President Magariaf were all kicked under the bus.  

Obama and Hillary can run but they can’t hide for much longer –DEMS & the Liberal news media can continue spinning their stories, but the one fact that remains on the table is this…  Obama and Hillary knew the attack on Benghazi was a terrorist attack and they deliberately allowed 4 of our American men to die horrible deaths in the hands of terrorists.

Accomplices to murder - Obama & Clinton???

4063830513?profile=original

 

The Benghazi murders have more twists and turns than a roller coaster – the one thing and most important thing about the massacres of our four brave Americans is this:  the two key people in our Government, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were in charge.  There’s no negotiating on that fact – it was their duty and responsibility to do whatever it takes to protect Americans whether it’s on our turf or a foreign turf.

So regardless of the various conspiracy theories and extensive testimony from others, the bottom line is this, neither Obama or Clinton did one thing to protect our Americans in Benghazi.  In fact both did what they’re notorious for – both lied, both created a cover-up using a video as an excuse and both shirked their duties to protect our Nation and Americans. 

We are on overload from the many conspiracy theories from the right and the left’s feeble attempt to run from the Benghazi  scandal – this is nothing but partisan posturing, which pretty much leads to a dead end.

So my question to our Government is pretty simple and easily understood – why are the two people responsible for the murders of our men still out and about running free as “jay birds?”  Why aren’t they behind bars until their day in Court has been established? 

What gives them immunity and why weren’t  they  charged with the murders of Christopher Stevens, information officer Sean Smith, former navy SEALs Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty?

Going back in time, we know that not just once but repeatedly Mursi vowed to free the blind sheik (Omar Abdel-Rahman) spiritual leader who thanks to his attorney continued messaging the terrorist organization while he is detained in our prisons.  Mursi was so confident about his ability to free the blind sheik that he actually used it in his political speeches or platform. 

The other very peculiar piece of the puzzle is that  months later the Obama administration sent four F-16 fighter jets and 200 Abrams tanks  to Egypt along with the foreign aid package  - John Kerry just upped the aid to Egypt by stating that that they would be receiving another $250 Million in aid from the Obama administration.

The Benghazi murders could well be a pre-planned plot by Obama because a delegation of Egyptian lawmakers did meet with White House and State officials in regards to a possible release of the “blind sheik.”  The delegation included some pretty “bad boys,” Abdul Mawgoud Darderv (Muslim Brotherhood member), Sondos Asem (senior editor with Ikhwaweb, which is the Muslim Brotherhoods official publication,) and two other brotherhood members, Hussein El-Kazzaz and Khaled Al-Qazzaz. 

Supposedly the meeting between our officials and the Muslim Brotherhood was moderated by John Esposito, a pretty well know Muslim Brotherhood apologist.  It would seem that John Esposito would be a critical witness at this time, because we the people need to know why terrorists were in our White House.

Possibly the plot was set at this time and possibly it was to be a trade-off of the blind sheik for Chris Stevens – we’ll never know the answer or truth about this meeting, but the timing is suspicious and also the delegation that traveled so far to meet with our top officials are not our  friends.

There are videos showing Ansar al-Sharia prepping for an attack on our Benghazi embassy – this too is probably true and could be verified if our FBI & CIA were so inclined to do their job instead of doing flip flops in an attempt to remove Obama’s involvement in the Benghazi murders.

According to a Fort Hood press release Obama deployed troops from Fort Hood, Texas on a supposedly “peacekeeping mission” to Egypt.   Why would Obama do this?  http://en.africatime.com/rwanda/articles/400-us-troops-deploy-egypt

Why the conflicting information concerning about the Dod and AFRICOM stating that some knew about the Benghazi Annex and that the man in charge General Carter Ham wasn’t aware of a CIA annex in Benghazi. 

The story goes that on the night of the Benghazi attack, General Ham was put in charge of the C 110, a 40 man Special Ops force which was for the sole purpose to handle rapid response to any and all emergencies.

Ultimately, the C-110 was not deployed to respond in Benghazi. Instead it was ordered to return to its forward operating base in Italy. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/01/bombshell-pentagon-didnt-know-benghazi-annex-existed/#v8tWjGM6c36JAZQU.99

In summation a fish rots from the “head down,” and so far our sophisticated investigative committees have yet to start interrogating the head (Obama & Clinton.)  It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that in order to solve a crime, first you go to those responsible for the crime.

Create a timeline on the day of 9/11/12 that tracks every move, every phone call, email and communication for Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton.  In other words, they knew it was a terrorist attack immediately so where were they the night of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, before Obama landed in  Las Vegas for his campaign? 

Next in order of time, what did Obama and Clinton do to protect our brave men in Benghazi?  Their hiding behind other “skirts” is hog wash – they were responsible to do everything in their power to get those four men out of Benghazi along with others safe and sound.  End of conversation –

It’s time to hold Obama & Hillary accountable and placed behind bars for the Benghazi massacre.  Their feeble excuses and monstrous lies don’t hold water and certainly aren’t justifiable reasons for letting them off the hook.  We’re talking about murder, accomplices to murder and political corruption.

As Always,

The Interpretation of Reality!-Posted on The Post & Email-By Sharon Rondeau-On January 1, 2014:

WAS AMERICA “TRICKED” INTO SOCIALISM WITH OBAMACARE?

(Jan. 1, 2014) — A new treadmill now sits in front of the window where the Christmas tree used to be displayed, so this year I just hung a string of lights in an inverted “V” on the window. My next-door neighbor said to her daughter what a nice tree I had, and her daughter replied, “It’s not a real Christmas tree, all it is are lights: he’s trying to trick us.”

Funny, my waging an all-out campaign in order to make people think that beyond that window 60 feet from the road stands a tall and proud Christmas tree adorned with lights, ornaments and strands of reflective ribbons, celebrating the Birth of Our Savior. Days, perhaps weeks, of intricate planning and then the big day, Thanksgiving, when it magically appeared to those who just happened to be looking while zooming by at 35 mph.

But who really knows to what nefarious depths I had to go to come up with my campaign to “trick” the unwary? Did I solicit help; Assistance; Committees; Meetings; forced to order extra donuts; reserve large conference rooms; block off floors at local motels; hire a coordinator of events: limousine and catering services; pet sitters; accountants; photographers; PR people and a gang that I could refer to as “My people”? I mean, if my neighbor’s daughter has the imagination that I would premeditate “trickery,” where does it all end, if it does?

Okay, I belabored the point, but you get it: things you think you believe to be true may very well not be true, which is why trust is the key to, well, everything. You trust the milk not to be sour when you buy it. You trust your cat to use the litter box. You trust the mechanic when he worked on your brakes. You trust your significant other not to cheat on you. You trust the other car to stop at the red light unless, of course, you live in Charlotte, NC, where you trust the other driver to run the red light. You trust your pilot to land the plane on the correct runway at the town you paid him to take you. You don’t trust politicians but you trust them enough not to steal from the cookie jar in broad daylight, unless, of course, you live anywhere near New Orleans. And going for a carriage ride, maybe in New Orleans, you trust the driver is a kind master.

You trust your President when he says we will not accept anything other than UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, words that should be spoken today in Western Civilization’s war against Islam just as they were against the Germans and the Japanese in 1941. Some Americans were gullible enough to trust Obama: “You can keep your doctor.” A video that got our guys murdered in Benghazi, another lie. Fort Hood was “workplace violence.” The United States has a “Muslim history.” Right. How about the Barbary Pirates and carpet-bombing Afghanistan?

This editorial is about trust. Trust is expected but, once lost, the chances of trusting again are remote at best. But as it says in the Bible, people can change for the better; after all, the prodigal son did come home. Years ago I forgave my dog for stealing my prime rib from my plate while I answered the door. I forgive the squirrels every day for eating the bird food. I forgave myself for being such an idiot by quitting drinking decades ago. And next year I just might put up a big sign that says:

ON GUARD! YOU ARE ABOUT TO BELIEVE YOU ARE BEING TRICKED BY A CHRISTMAS TREE THAT ISN’T REALLY THERE.

Obamacare is the new reality: a trick to deceive the American people to accept Socialism (Progressiveness) and to discard the Constitution. It’s not complicated. Don’t be tricked. The key is to repeal Obamacare.

Obama Adviser Admits That Obamacare’s Death Panels Are “Inevitable”: ‘Makes shocking admission about Obamacare, advocates rationing for elderly’-Posted on WND.com-By AARON KLEIN-On October 1, 2012:

A top Democrat strategist and donor who served as President Obama’s lead auto-industry adviser recently conceded that the rationing of heath services under Obamacare is “inevitable.”

Steven Rattner advocated that such rationing should target elderly patients, while stating, “We need death panels.”

Rattner serves on the board the New America Foundation, or NAF, a George Soros-funded think tank that was instrumental in supporting Obamacare in 2010. Soros’ son, financier Jonathan Soros, is also a member of the foundation’s board.

Rattner was the so-called “car czar,” the lead auto adviser to the Treasury Department under Obama.

Last month, Rattner penned an opinion piece in the New York Times titled “Beyond Obamacare” in which he proclaimed “We need death panels” and argued rationing must be instructed to sustain Obama’s health-care plan. His comments have been virtually ignored by traditional media as the president campaigns for a second term.

“We need death panels,” began Rattner. “Well, maybe not death panels, exactly, but unless we start allocating health-care resources more prudently – rationing, by its proper name – the exploding cost of Medicare will swamp the federal budget.”

Read all about the idea of “Medical Murder” and find out what Barack Obama would do in a second term, in “Fool Me Twice.”

Continued Rattner: “But in the pantheon of toxic issues – the famous ‘third rail’ of American politics – none stands taller than overtly acknowledging that elderly Americans are not entitled to every conceivable medical procedure or pharmaceutical.”

Rattner lamented how Obama’s Affordable Care Act “regrettably includes severe restrictions on any reduction in Medicare services or increase in fees to beneficiaries.”

Rattner said the numbers don’t add up unless Obamacare utilizes rationing.

“If his Independent Payment Advisory Board comes up with savings, Congress must accept either them or vote for an equivalent package,” stated Rattner. “The problem is, the advisory board can’t propose reducing benefits (a k a rationing) or raising fees (another form of rationing), without which the spending target looms impossibly large.”

Rattner singled out elderly patients for benefit cuts.

He wrote: “No one wants to lose an aging parent. And with price out of the equation, it’s natural for patients and their families to try every treatment, regardless of expense or efficacy. But that imposes an enormous societal cost that few other nations have been willing to bear. Many countries whose health care systems are regularly extolled – including Canada, Australia and New Zealand – have systems for rationing care.”

He concluded, “At the least, the Independent Payment Advisory Board should be allowed to offer changes in services and costs.”

“We may shrink from such stomach-wrenching choices, but they are inescapable.”

Rattner serves on the NAF’s 22-person board of directors alongside Jonathan Soros, CNN’s Fareed Zakaria and Google’s Eric Schmidt.

Soros’ Open Society Foundation is a primary donor to the NAF.

Other major donors include the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google Inc. and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Another donor is Free Press, a group that advocates for more government control of the airwaves and Internet.

Free Press is also funded by Soros. Free Press was founded by Robert W. McChesney, an avowed Marxist who has recommended capitalism be dismantled “brick by brick.”

The NAF, meanwhile, bills itself as bipartisan and “the radical center.”

NAF fellow Michael Lind wrote, “Our goal [is] not to repeal the New Deal [of Franklin Roosevelt] but to adapt it to the circumstances of the 21st century.”

Discover The Networks notes how the NAF approved of Obamacare because it would “offer a new image” of how Americans view dying; and it would help “patients and their families to recognize” that, “[S]ometimes ‘doing everything’ results in more burden than benefit. High-tech medicine can prolong life, but for some patients, it merely draws out the process of dying.”

Now Obama Voters Will Suffer the Consequences of Their Decisions!-Posted on The Post & Email-By Sharon Rondeau-On November 25, 2012:

FREEDOM VS. TYRANNY

by Alan Bates, MD, ©2012, blogging at Gulf1

(Nov. 25, 2012) — One major tenet of parenting is to let children suffer the consequences of their actions as long as they are not endangering themselves (or anyone else).  Experience is by far the best teacher.   Those who voted for anti-American Marxist-Muslim Dictator Obama will also suffer the horrible consequences of their decision, none of which would have occurred had Obama not been reelected:  more expensive and less available healthcare along with invasion of personal privacy by a new huge federal bureaucracy under Obamacare which will cost about one trillion dollars per year; higher taxes (yes, for everyone);  much higher energy costs;  increasing job losses;  decreasing entitlements; limited freedom; and a lower level of national security as our military is gutted by budget cuts and perverted by political correctness.  Most Obama supporters are weak thinkers since they have sacrificed freedom for tyranny at the hands of  political operatives who are more than willing to do their thinking for them.  They will eventually realize that those of the radical Left for whom they voted do not embody virtue and honor which are the basis for sustaining a free people and a government with limited powers accountable to the People.  Maintaining freedom is difficult, as it requires critical thinking and effort—both missing from the vocabulary of  Obama supporters.  Long ago we were forewarned that when the People vote for politicians who reward themselves and their constituents with money from the national treasury, the ensuing self-perpetuating parasitic relationship results in government domination of the People and ultimate collapse.  Such is the nature of the current state of America, where about half the population reelected a corrupt president and his Administration of un-elected Czars, who with the help of Senator Harry Reid  have rendered Congress and the Courts irrelevant, and with that, the certainty that the tenets of our founding documents have been and will continue to be violated.

What should patriots do now?   Surrender is not an option.  We owe a great debt to our ancestors who fought and died to protect our freedom from those who would have taken it away.  Unfortunately, about half of voters reelected a Democrat Administration whose agenda is just that—to remove our freedoms one by one in accordance with the UN’s  Agenda 21.  Over the past several decades, liberals have infiltrated our culture, particularly our public education system and the media, so that many of the electorate no longer understand the history which under-girds our liberties or the skills which placed America ahead of other nations.  Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has allowed the Muslim Brotherhood regular access to the White House.  He has empowered them without permission (or even resistance)  from Congress with taxpayer money to take over North African and Middle Eastern nations under the false pretense of establishing democracies.  As we see with his good friend Morsi,  their intentions are anything but democracy, but rather the establishment of  dictatorships in which the Muslim Brotherhood takes charge in pursuit of a global caliphate.  Obama is an accessory to this crime against humanity, but dumbed-down American voters buy into the word games of the Left and are blind as to their ideology.  Another option for patriots is to simply leave for another part of the world, but there is no unsettled geography which would accommodate half our population.  There are no other countries which can substitute for America’s culture of freedom.

The solution for patriots is at least two-fold.  First, we must come together and choose the right message and the right messengers who do not look in the rearview mirror but rather sell the strength and promises of virtue and honor to the people, for it is only through honor and virtue that freedom can survive and bring prosperity to the People.  The messengers must believe in their message and not react to the tactics of the Left who demean self-sufficiency, virtue and honor, and who divert the conversation away from real issues of importance while wrapping their tyrannical ideology with false promises to their gullible followers.   Charismatic men and women who embody the qualities of integrity, honor and statesmanship—not political tomfoolery—must confront the Left head-on.  Secondly, the Left’s strategy for maintaining power has been to falsely discredit Republicans as ‘obstructionists’ when quite the opposite is true.  Perhaps Republicans should temporarily step aside to avoid that blame and just let the Left’s  destruction of the middle class prevail, while the utterly corrupt lamestreet media chronicle our nation’s continued decline.  The sooner the ‘progressives’ and their lapdog  media darlings bring America to its knees,  the sooner the rest of us will have an opportunity to resurrect America as the free nation it once was.  For patriots to compromise our values to ‘meet the Democrats halfway’ is foolish,  for there is no compromise between freedom and tyranny, between the rule of law and anarchy, or between solvency and bankruptcy.  The eventual outcome of  Obama’s perverted ideology is collapse of the economy, national insolvency and ultimately Fedzilla itself as it is abandoned by those who once supported America’s debt.  Obama voters voted for this.

Will Obama’s name live in infamy?

Are God, Family & Country Loving Americans Going To Allow This To Happen On Their Watch?-You Decide:

Will Obama’s name live in infamy?-Posted on The Washington Times-By Jeffrey T. Kuhner-On November 28, 2013:

History is repeating itself. The recent interim nuclear deal signed by the United States and other major powers with Iran in Geneva paves the way for war. President Obama is the new Neville Chamberlain, the British prime minister who boasted of creating “peace in our time” after signing an agreement with Nazi Germany. In fact, the deal at Munich guaranteed only one thing: another bloody conflict. Mr. Obama has given the world a second Munich. He will rue the day.

On Sept. 30, 1938, Britain and France capitulated to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. Czechoslovakia was betrayed in order to appease Hitler’s expansionist ambitions. Sacrificing Czechoslovakia’s territorial integrity, however, only whetted Hitler’s appetite for further aggression. In fact, Chamberlain’s cowardly act only increased the Nazi strongman’s contempt for both England and the West. Munich gave Hitler the time and military capability to eventually conquer most of Europe. It was a prelude to much greater disasters — the invasion of Poland, the Nazi-Soviet pact, the fall of France, the Holocaust and more than 50 million deaths caused by World War II. The lesson of Munich was clear: Genocidal dictatorships bent on domination cannot be appeased. They must be contained and eventually defeated.

The Obama administration has forgotten this. Desperate for some kind of a deal, Secretary of State John Kerry has made a historic, almost unforgivable blunder. The agreement gives Iran’s Islamist mullahs a very precious gift: the time they need to achieve a nuclear bomb.

Mr. Obama’s first — and gravest — mistake is to assume the regime in Tehran is rational and genuinely seeks peace with its neighbors. It doesn’t. From its inception in 1979, the Islamic republic has been driven by a messianic radical Shiite ideology. Its mission is to dominate the Middle East in order to create a global caliphate — one they believe will usher in the coming of the 12th Imam, the Shiite Muslim savior prophesied in the apocalypse. In short, religious fanatics control Iran’s theocracy. They champion salvation through Armageddon.

For decades, Tehran has been waging a covert war against America and Israel. It is the greatest sponsor of state terrorism in the world. It has armed, trained and funded Shiite militias in Iraq responsible for killing numerous U.S. troops. It backs jihadists in Afghanistan, who are killing and maiming our troops. The Iranian regime has American blood on its hands. Iraq has fallen under its sphere of influence. It supports Hezbollah and Hamas. It has turned southern Lebanon into a political vassal. It props up Syrian strongman Bashar Assad, enabling him to continue his brutal civil war. It imprisons and tortures dissidents. Homosexuals are stoned and killed. Women are relegated to second-class status. Christians are routinely persecuted; some of them are lashed simply for taking Communion wine. It is a murderous, Islamic police state.

Yet the linchpin of Iran’s theocracy — like Nazi Germany — is anti-Semitism. The reason is simple: For the revolutionary Shiite prophecy to be fulfilled, the Jews, and especially, the Jewish state, must be annihilated. Tehran’s leaders have repeatedly and publicly called for Israel’s destruction. They believe the blood of dead Jews will consecrate the coming world Muslim empire. For example, just prior to the deal in Geneva, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Jews are “the rabid dogs of the Middle East” and that the “Zionist regime is doomed to destruction.” This is why Israel, as well as Sunni Muslim powers, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Egypt, are convinced that a nuclear-armed Iran poses an existential threat. Deranged mullahs with nuclear weapons could plunge the entire region into a cataclysm.

Since becoming president, Mr. Obama has promised Israel and our Arab allies that he would never allow Tehran to acquire the bomb. He has prevented Jerusalem and Riyadh from taking unilateral military action. The Israelis and Saudis — similar to the Czechs in 1938 — have been betrayed. The deal does nothing to stop Iran from enriching uranium. Its centrifuge stockpiles will not be eliminated. Its Arak plutonium reactor will not be dismantled. In other words, the mullahs’ nuclear-weapons program will not be hindered in any meaningful way. In exchange, sanctions will be eased, and the regime will gain access to nearly $8 billion in frozen assets.

Like Munich, the Geneva deal is a fool’s bargain. In return for cosmetic concessions, Iran now has a clear path to go nuclear. The end result almost ensures a war. Either Israel (and maybe Saudi Arabia) must launch a military strike against Tehran’s nuclear sites before it is too late, or Iran attains the bomb and makes good on its repeated promise, thereby sparking a nuclear holocaust. Mr. Obama has committed a historic diplomatic bungle. His name should go down in infamy.

In a secret government agreement granted without approval or debate from lawmakers, the U.S. attorney general recently gave the National Counterterrorism Center sweeping new powers to store dossiers on U.S. citizens, even if they are not suspected of a crime, according to a news report.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Eric Holder granted the center the ability to copy entire government databases holding information on flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and other data, and to store it for up to five years, even without suspicion that someone in the database has committed a crime, according to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story.

Whereas previously the law prohibited the center from storing data compilations on U.S. citizens unless they were suspected of terrorist activity or were relevant to an ongoing terrorism investigation, the new powers give the center the ability to not only collect and store vast databases of information but also to trawl through and analyze it for suspicious patterns of behavior in order to uncover activity that could launch an investigation.

The changes granted by Holder would also allow databases containing information about U.S. citizens to be shared with foreign governments for their own analysis.

A former senior White House official told the Journal that the new changes were “breathtaking in scope.”

4063612956?profile=originalColonel Terry Fobbs has passed on to join the hundreds of thousands of America’s soldier warriors who have brought honor and integrity to America through war and peacetime service. For many Americans the patriotic service of the citizen soldier has personally touched their lives and families as in many wars, like in Afghanistan, or in defense of America’s sovereign interests around the globe.

What is truly remarkable about the nature of the conservative soldier warrior is the noble spirit that engages the heart to go forward into battle and not away from responsibility.

The pillars of courage which Americans have seen in their own family’s sacrifice when a son or daughter has volunteered to seek a greater cause than a backyard barbeque or a quick political posting that denigrates a soldier’s service, is heartwarming. America has always been home to the hypocrite and the coward, because that is the nature of hypocrisy and cowardice; to run, to hide, and to pitch rocks until the soldier has secured their freedom. Even in the Revolutionary War, there were cowards who would rather sale out their freedom for the comfort of powerless slavery.

But the nation, and the soldier warrior need not be concerned about the coward or the hypocrite, for their kind would do more harm than good if they could find momentary steel in their hollow backbone.

The greatness of the conservative warrior soldier is found in the heart of a soldier and officer like Colonel Terry Fobbs, who decided that even in the midst of national civil rights turmoil in his native Detroit and in protests in the streets over Vietnam, he saw the higher purpose. He volunteered to defend the U.S. Constitution and to protect it and the nation with honor, duty and courage, because where others sought baseless complaints to identify with, he sought solutions that would strengthen America.

That is the trademark of a true American soldier warrior. It did not matter that there were protesters cowering in groups with signs of dissent or hiding behind their marijuana cigarettes, and peace pipes, America’s true heroes who protected those rights, knew to avoid duty, honor and service is to surrender one’s values, one’s principles and eventually one’s nation.

If America is to remain free, its soldiers have to remain above those who love to stand against protecting the nation, and who would rather find a way to elect political leaders who attempt to negotiate away America’s freedoms, its borders and its sovereignty. The weakness of those who talk away the nation’s freedoms are never as strong or as enduring as the Colonel Fobbs of this nation who stand up and fight to defend and strengthen the pillars of freedom.

Veteran’s Day is fast approaching and it is important, yes even essential that each American takes the time to embrace as well as to celebrate their very own Colonel Fobbs or Sergeant Wagner or Private Garcia in their family. Take the time to understand and embrace with your heart what it means to have their honor and their courage.

Fifty years ago, on May 12th in 1962, in an address to the U.S. Military Academy, General Douglass MacArthur described the loyal patriotic devotion that military leaders like Colonel Terry Fobbs possessed. He affirmed that military leaders and soldiers must display three cherished and necessary qualities.

"Duty, Honor, Country" — those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.” General Douglass MacArthur

Part two of DOE “Junk” Loans and Cronyism, exposing how General Electric –– CEO Jeffrey Immelt, Chair of Obama’s Job Council –– has raked in over $3 billion, and counting, from the Obama "green" stimulus.

As I was preparing to expose one of the big fish in this green energy scheme –– how General Electric has raked in at least $3 billion of President Obama's "green" stimulus money –– two more government-backed renewable energy projects made headlines. Abound Solar went bust and it seems that Nevada Geothermal Power is going down the drain, both included in the Department of Energy's excessively risky loan portfolio, adding more embarrassment to the president’s “highly touted green energy initiative."

Last April, I began to unleash years of research starting with the "Department of Energy “Junk Loans” and Cronyism, Introduction," setting up the first in a series of at least five topics that will prove cronyism and corruption are the driving forces behind President's Obama's green energy agenda, with total disregard for our economy and national debt.

As a recap: the March 2012 House Oversight Investigation revealed that 23 of 27 recipients of the loan guarantees were rated as junk status investments. And according to GAO statistics (and emphasized in the June 19th Congressional hearing), "For the 460 applications to the Loan Guarantee Program (LGP), DOE has made loan guarantees for 7 percent and committed to an additional 2 percent."

And who were the "lucky" 7 percent? Of the 27 loans issued (26 as BrightSource was counted twice in the House Oversight report) through the 1705 LGP to 21 firms, virtually all of them have meaningful political connections (bundlers, donors, supporters) –– to either President Obama or other high-ranking Democrats — or both!

To add insult to "taxpayer injury," in that same June 19th House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Hearing, Dr. De Rugy (a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University), had some pretty damning testimony, including how the DOE justifies the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program. She even disputed the DOE's argument that "by investing in green technology, it would create up to 5 million green jobs." When in reality, De Rugy continues, "the DOE's own data shows that $16 billion in loans were guaranteed [under the 1705 LGP], and 2378 permanent green jobs were created" –– "that means that for every $6.7 million in taxpayer exposure, ONE job was created!"


Keep in mind that 1705 LGP is not the only DOE loan program to be analyzed –– there are three, and since 2009, the DOE has guaranteed a total of $34.7 billion. As you will see, there are also other government agencies and programs doling out billions more in "green" funds.


General Electric, CEO Jeffrey Immelt, Chair of Obama’s Job Council and the Billions They Raked in Through the 2009 Obama Stimulus Package


Whereas General Electric (GE) is a heavy donor to both Republicans and Democrats, and Immelt himself "plays the role of typical corporate donor who hedges his bets on both sides of the fence," in 2008, GE gave the Obama campaign $529,855, marking them a top Obama donor. Nevertheless, GE is a major player on the clean-energy scene as well as in this green energy scheme. Even The New York Times recognized GE’s “green power,” noting that in 2009, GE lobbied Congress to help expand the “clean-energy subsidy programs, and it now profits from every aspect of the boom in renewable-power plant construction,” including “hundreds of millions in contracts to sell its turbines to wind plants built with public subsidies.” In fact, you'll be "blown away" by the billions of "wind energy grants" that blew out of the stimulus package back in February 2010, of which GE is contracted to at least 26% of them as the "Turbine Manufacturer."

In late 2009, it was reported that GE became "one of the newer smart meter players," and that they "had been working with utility Oklahoma Gas & Electric on a 6,600 smart meter trial, and had procured "a contract with Pepco Holdings (PHI)," which received Smart Grid Investment Grants totaling $168 million. GE also has a big contract with Florida Power and Light," also the recipient of a $200 million stimulus grant.

Yet, this is just the beginning of the GE "green bucks"...

While a recent "news flash" was published by the Republican National Committee, confirming via Recovery.gov that "General Electric received over $1.2 billion worth of stimulus loan guarantees, awards, contracts and grants" (the majority of which were for renewable energy projects), they missed billions more. Two large 1705 loan guarantees that I had outlined in April of this year, as well as a forthcoming $490 million cash grant and a $54.6 million loan from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Add in some smaller government subsidies and awards for a multitude of green projects, programs, and through some of their "green alliances," that I found during my 2011 research, and GE's "green tab" exceeds $3 billion in direct (some indirectly) taxpayer cash, and counting. ;

Let's take a look at GE's two projects from the 1705 Loan Guarantee Program, both of which are included the DOE's risky investment portfolio.

  • 1366 Technologies Inc, Rating B by Fitch, Sept 2011 –– $150 million
  • Caithness Shepherds Flat, LLC –– Rating BBB- by Fitch; Oct 2010 for $1.04 billion (or $1.3 billion)

 

GE sponsored the Caithness Shepherds Flat, and also supplied the project with 338 wind-turbines. On top of the $1.3 billion loan, the Caithness project is set to receive a cash grant of $490 million from the Treasury Department once those turbines start turning.

Later, another close associate of, and big donor to the president invested in Caithness. As uncovered by Peter Schweizer in his book, Throw Them All Out, "Google's CEO at the time, Eric Schmidt, served as an informal advisor to President Obama.” Still, Schmidt, Google Executive Chairman, was an Obama donor in 2008, and since April 2009, is a member of the president's Science and Technology Advisory Council (PCAST). Interestingly, Google’s $814,540 contribution to Obama’s campaign made it the fifth largest donor in 2008. As of late, Google has aimed its "search engines" at green technology, many of which have received government "help" –– BrightSource, Solar City, Telsa Motors, and others, but we’ll stay focused on GE.

The House Oversight, March 2012 investigation reveals internal memos of concern over the fact that the Caithness Shepherds Flat project was receiving “an excessive amount of public subsidy (where grants, tax credits and loan guarantees provided 65% of the funding for the project), and that private parties did not have sufficient ‘skin in the game.’”

Further, it goes on to state, “Four months after the DOE approved the Caithness loan, President Obama named Jeff Immelt, the CEO of GE, as the Chairman of Obama’s Job Council” –– a council stacked with Democratic donors, and several Obama bundlers, both for the 2008 and 2012 campaigns.

It also discloses “General Electric’s broad access to loan guarantees,” and it gives a very illuminating account. “Since Immelt’s appointment as Chair of the Job Council, two additional government-backed transactions have occurred." "First the poorly rated 1366 Technologies, sponsored in part by GE, received a direct $150 million loan commitment from the DOE for its solar manufacturing plant." Second was the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) that loaned $54.6 million to Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCSR) "to purchase thirty new General Electric ES44AC diesel-electric locomotives" –– a loan that raised red flags in the House investigation.


President Obama's Job Council

gty-jobs-council-meeting-president-thg-120522-mn.jpg?t=20120707175257&width=320

However, Immelts’ “special entrée” to the White House started two years prior to that February 2011 "Job Czar" position, as a member of President Obama’s 2009 Economic Recovery Advisory Board (PERAB). Besides Immelt’s direct access to President Obama since 2009, GE was privy to Valerie Jarrett’s September 2009 "Clean Energy Summit," where an array of attendees just so happened to "collectively strike gold" with over $5.3 billion in taxpayer funds from the Obama stimulus.

What's more is that GE personnel sit on the DOE’s Electricity Advisory Committee (EAC) of which “recommendations” from their 2008 and 2009 reports made its way into “the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and are being implemented in DOE policies and programs under the Obama administration.” Others on the EAC roster that were given DOE "green money" are American Electric Power (AEP), Austin Energy, NextEra Energy, CenterPoint Energy, to name a few.

As luck would have it, I've tracked at least five members of President Obama’s Job Council that are connected to firms that have cashed in on the green energyspending spree. Besides Immelt, winners include John Doerr partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Lewis Hay chairman and chief executive officer of NextEra Energy, Inc., Richard Parsons Chairman of the Board of Citigroup, Inc., and Penny Pritzker (also from the PERAB), whom wears many liberal hats, including a prominent position on Obama’s 2008 National Finance Committee.


As for billionaire Doerr, he too served on the PERAB, and in early 2009 extended his influence with Obama's transition team and leaders in Congress, ultimately shaping what went into the energy section of the 2009 economic stimulus package. Doerr is another big winner of government clean-energy funds through his venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins, where Al Gore is also a partner. Doerr and Gore strenuously campaigned for candidate Obama, including financial donations, and in February 2011, Doerr even hosted a lavish high-profiled "tech-exec dinner" for the president, and these days, is considered "a very big-ticket Obama donor."

Kleiner Perkins is a firm that I began to unravel in 2010, stressing that over 50 percent of their Greentech Portfolio secured all kinds of loans, grants, and special tax breaks –– placing them in an "elite green society;" yet it’s a firm to eventually revisit, because since 2010, they have tripled their "investments" and there is much more to expose.

In a twist of fate, Richard Parsons, is connected to SolarReserve and their $737 million DOE "non-investment" grade loan, of which was covered by my new ally, Marita K. Noon, Executive Director of Energy Makes America Great and columnist at Townhall.com. As I attempt to cover the entire DOE "junk bond" Portfolio, together we will be tackling the Special Seven –– those that are not only part of the DOE's risky investments, but received millions (if not billions) from the 1603 Grant Program, both programs created by the Obama administration through the 2009 stimulus package. These firms also received fast-tracked approval by the Department of the Interior to lease federal lands in a no-bid process, and with little scrutiny over environmental issues. They include Abengoa Solar, BrightSource Energy, First Solar, Nevada Geothermal Power, NextEra Energy Resources, Ormat Nevada, and SolarReserve.

Needless to say, just last year, GE –– along with NextEra Energy (also in the House March 2012 investigation), whose CEO Lewis Hay, is also a member of Obama’s Job Council –– bought the California Desert Sunlight project from First Solar, a project that was the recipient of a $1.5 billion dollar DOE loan. Still, NextEra Energy's Genesis Solar project that received a $681.6 million DOE loan, and First Solar –– another "well-connected" solar company that was "awarded" $3 billion in DOE loan guarantees –– are both part of the Special Seven.

It's gonna be a hot summer...
