DOJ & DHS Targets Patriots

Report Prepared for Obama’s DHS & DOJ targets Survivalists, Patriots & Conservatives as Terrorist Threat March 6, 2013

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group who regularly attacks patriotic Americans by masquerading as a civil rights group, is compiling lists and conducting surveillance on what it calls “patriots”, “survivalists”, and “conspiracy theorists”. Even more disturbing, is the access this group has to the Obama administration’s Department of Justice. In a report prepared for U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is asking the Federal Government to create a new inter-agency task force which will be dedicated to tracking and taking down conspiracy theorists, survivalists, “Patriot groups” and the “American radical right”.
The Government Supported Attack Group, who is actively creating lists and conducting surveillance on Americans, says the following people need to be tracked by the Federal Government.
Those who talk about, or believe in Conspiracy Theories. Those who talk about or believe in Agenda 21 — a United Nations sustainability plan that was signed by President George H.W. Bush and is part of a plan to impose socialism on America and strip away private property rights. Those who believe that the government is poised to take their guns. Those who believe the President is trying to impose Socialism on the American people.
Those who call themselves Survivalist or belong to Patriot Groups.
Right-wing groups like the Tea Party, the Constitution Party, the Oath Keepers, or other “conspiracy-oriented Patriot groups” The report was written by J. Richard Cohen, President of the SPLC and a member of the Department of Homeland Security’s Countering Violent Extremism Working Group.
The fact that our government entertains the thoughts of a raving madman is a testament to how far this country has fallen from its founding doctrines. How a person who labels patriotic Americans as a terrorist threat is allowed to work with the federal government, especially at a time when the DHS is in the middle of so many Spying & Drone Scandals, is a complete mystery that should scare the hell out of every American in this country.
We have a government who is declaring war on the thoughts, opinions and principles that founded this country. When a man who declares Patriots to be a “terrorist group” is allowed such high level access to our leaders, there is something seriously wrong with our system.

CISPA Passes House:FBI Intrusion Into Your Life

April 27, 2013 By 1 Comment

20130427-101528.jpg

The FBI demands access to your personal information. So far Google says no. Dear Online Enthusiast, Google’s recent protest against FBI sanctions has major implications for us all. That’s only if you have a mobile device, computer, email, credit card, bank account, social media profile, or any other type of electronic footprint.

Truth is, unless you’re completely off the grid, every move you make is being fiercely monitored.

After all, your intimate details are an extremely valuable commodity to have.

Companies like Apple, Facebook, and Google are gathering specifics about you, your family, your friends and neighbors… on a daily basis.

And the FBI is requiring full access to their hoards of data – no questions asked.

What’s even more chilling is the FBI’s method of obtaining these records.

You see, the Feds send National Security Letters mandating full access without court ordered warrants.

But Google is defying the FBI’s demands, claiming the requests are unreasonable, oppressive, and downright criminal.

It’s Google’s fight against the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). They’re taking swift action in an effort to protect your 4th Amendment rights. A fight that may soon be punishable by law…

Last week, while you were immersed in the Boston bombing events, the House quietly passed CISPA, moving the FBI one step closer to owning all of your private information.

Do you support Google’s fight against extreme federal surveillance? I believe Google is right in this fight against CISPA – CISPA is unlawful.

Some will say “Extreme surveillance measures are necessary for our national security” but I tell you this is a ruse used to limit your freedoms and confiscate your personal information without your knowledge or permission.

This is an urgent matter. I encourage you to contact your Senator and tell them NO on CISPA. You will not allow the govt. carte blanc access to your personal information.

I received most of this information from the Publisher of The Capitol Hill Daily.

Ridiculous Islamic Laws

April 18, 2013 By 3 Comments

20130418-072738.jpg
By Amrutha Gayathri | December 07 2011 6:15 AM

In a ridiculously repressive and absurd proposal, an Islamic cleric residing in Europe has said in a ruling that women should not touch or be anywhere close to bananas and cucumbers, in order to avoid sexual thoughts.

An unnamed sheikh was quoted in a religious publication, el-Senousa News, as saying that if a woman wished to eat cucumbers or bananas, it should be sliced into pieces, preferably by her husband or father, before she eats them. Egyptian English news site Bikya Masr reported the proposal. According to the report, the sheikh has also added carrots and zucchini to the list of apparently immoral and blasphemous fruits and vegetables.

The sheikh was also asked if simply holding these vegetables, while out shopping, would be harmful for women. He replied that it was a matter between God and women.

Unsurprisingly, the sheikh’s comment has become a target of online mockery, with a flurry of comments denouncing the Islamic repression of women. Many of the commentators are Muslims themselves, who have expressed their anger against the cleric for making Islamic religious practices appear unreasonable.

Islamic clerics of Saudi Arabia have been in the headlines recently when they spoke out against lifting the driving ban on women. The argument in that case suggested that all women will lose their virginity by indulging in pre-marital sex due to the mixing of genders (which, it is feared, will occur if women were allowed to drive).

The scholarly report by the clerics of Majlis al-Ifta al-Aala, the country’s highest Islamic council, warned there would be no more virgins in the country within 10 years of lifting the ban because driving will lead to a surge in prostitution, pornography, homosexuality and divorce.

The declaration urging the driving ban on women was closely followed by another ludicrous proposal – one requiring women to cover their eyes.

According to existing Sharia laws, Saudi women are required to cover themselves from head to toe, with a long black cloak called the abaya, except for their eyes.

However, Saudi Arabia’s Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice found that even women’s eyes could sometimes be too attractive for men and drafted a new proposal, which states that women with tempting eyes need to cover them.

Montana Moving Towards Gun Ban Nullification Bill.

March 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment

20130314-184324.jpg
After a vote of 28-21 in the state Senate on Wednesday, March 13, Montana is moving toward being the first state in the country to approve a bill prohibiting the enforcement of a potential federal ban on semiautomatic firearms and large-capacity magazines within its borders. The bill, HB 302, also calls for criminal penalties for any employee, official, or officer of either the state or federal government who enforces such a measure within Montana.

“I view this bill basically as pushback to the discussion in Washington, D.C.,” said state Sen. Jennifer Fielder (R-Thompson Falls). “It has come to the point where the people are saying enough is enough,” Fielder told the Missoulian.

House Bill 302, the “Montana Federal Semiautomatic Firearm and Large Magazine Ban Enforcement Prohibition Act,” passed the state House 56-42 on February 22. Because the original bill was amended by the Senate Judiciary Committee, both legislative chambers need to reconcile the two versions of the bill.
Once reconciled, the bill will be sent to the desk of Governor Steve Bullock, a Democrat. The governor has not taken a public position on the bill, which now awaits either his signature or veto. If Bullock signs the bill, Montana will be the first state to have officially nullified federal gun control, since the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Newtown, Connecticut, last year.

On its website, the Tenth Amendment Center encourages residents of Montana to e-mail Governor Bullock or call him locally at 406-444-3111 or toll-free at 855-318-1330, to encourage him to sign HB 302.
The key portion of HB 302 reads:
A peace officer, state employee, or employee of any political subdivision is prohibited from enforcing, assisting in the enforcement of, or otherwise cooperating in the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines and is also prohibited from participating in any federal enforcement action implementing a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines.
Another portion of the bill declares that Montana may not use “public funds or allocate public resources for the enforcement of a federal ban on semiautomatic weapons or large magazines.” Violation of this section of the bill would be considered as an act theft, which is a misdemeanor under state law.
The previous day, the Montana House approved another bill 89-11, Senate Bill 145, which would require Montana concealed weapon permit information to be kept confidential. SB 145 already passed the state Senate 37-13 on January 31, 2013, and like HB 302 is also expected to go to Gov. Bullock’s desk.
Montana’s nullification efforts against gun control are not without historical precedent. Historian Thomas Woods has written an excellent brief history of state nullification of federal laws in his article, “The States’ Rights Tradition Nobody Knows.” In recent years, dozens of states have introduced nullification-type legislation to stop Real ID, affirm the Tenth Amendment, reject a federal mandate to buy healthcare insurance, and to reject federal firearm laws for guns manufactured, sold, and used intrastate (known as Firearms Freedom Acts or FFA). Not just in Montana, but all across the country, sheriffs and legislators are acting to nullify proposed federal gun controls.
The total number of states that have introduced pro-Second Amendment nullification bills in their state legislatures currently stands at 32. These states include: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

Of those 32 states, bills have passed at least one chamber in six states — Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Idaho, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming — and now both chambers in Montana.
This past Monday, on March 11, the Idaho House of Representatives approved 55-13 a bill prohibiting the enforcement of any ban or restriction on the ownership of a semiautomatic firearm or any magazine within the state’s borders. House Bill 219, the “Idaho Federal Firearm, Magazine and Register Ban Enforcement Act,” would make it a felony to confiscate the firearm or magazine of a law abiding citizen who has not committed a crime and is legally residing within the state borders of Idaho.

Idaho’s HB 219 would also provide criminal penalties of up to $1,000 in fines and a year in jail to any official, agent or employee of the state of Idaho, or any of its political subdivisions, caught enforcing any such federal restriction, regulation, or confiscation of semiautomatic firearms and magazines.
With the passage of HB 302 in both chambers of the Montana state legislature, Montana is the closest state in the country to making history. If Gov. Bullock signs the bill, Montana will be sending a clear and loud message to Washington that any violation or infringement of the people’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms will not be tolerated in the Big Sky Country.

Obama Administration Threatens A Journalist

March 3, 2013 By 7 Comments

20130303-024939.jpg
Original version By Frank Camp

We live in a strange world, where insanity is accepted as brilliance, and sanity is squashed like an ant under a boot. This upside-down thinking allows for politicians to manipulate us as easily as they breathe. President Obama can say one thing, do another, and not one in the media bats an eye. Generally, the media is complicit in Obama’s scheming, but a rare pinpoint of light was seen this week in the media darkness.

Bob Woodward–in his column last week–said this of Obama and the upcoming sequester: “In fact, the final deal reached between Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) in 2011 included an agreement that there would be no tax increases in the sequester in exchange for what the president was insisting on: an agreement that the nation’s debt ceiling would be increased for 18 months, so Obama would not have to go through another such negotiation in 2012, when he was running for reelection. So when the president asks that a substitute for the sequester include not just spending cuts but also new revenue, he is moving the goal posts… “That was not the deal he made.”

Then, on Wednesday’s Morning Joe, he said this in regard to Obama’s unwillingness to send a carrier to the Persian Gulf, because of budget issues: “That’s a kind of madness that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

Now, the Obama administration is threatening Woodward over his comments. According to Business Insider: “Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a ‘very senior person’ at the White House warned him in an email that he would ‘regret doing this,’ the same day he has continued to slam President Barack Obama over the looming forced cuts known as the sequester.”

Woodward said: “It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, ‘You’re going to regret doing something that you believe in.’”

1. It’s a rare thing when someone from the media establishment scoffs at Obama, let alone rips into him or his policy decisions. So, first of all, good on Bob Woodward.

2. The identity of the official that threatened Woodward has been leaked by Ben Smith, of Buzzfeed: White House Economic Council Director Gene Sperling.

3. Now, Obama is demanding “revenue increases” to offset the sequester. This goes against the agreement reached way back in 2011, when it was decided that there would be no tax increases in the sequester deal.

4. It is deeply frightening that a Presidential administration would so publicly threaten a journalist for revealing the truth behind the administration’s lies. It shows a lack of fear for accountability on the part of Obama and his staff.

5. This madness displayed by Obama and company is a hallmark of the Democratic political machine. Lies after lies, followed by disconcerting behavior; including threats and blame. What kind of America are we living in when the press is threatened by the White House for reporting the truth?

COLUMBINE STUDENT’S FATHER 12 YEARS LATER!!

February 21, 2013 By 6 Comments

20130222-051923.jpg
Guess our national leaders didn’t expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful.
They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:

“Since the dawn of creation there has been both good &evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.
“The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain’s heart.
“In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA – because I don’t believe that they are responsible for my daughter’s death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel’s murder I would be their strongest opponent
I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy — it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,
Your words are empty air.
You’ve stripped away our heritage,
You’ve outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms,
And precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere,
And ask the question “Why?”
You regulate restrictive laws,
Through legislative creed.
And yet you fail to understand,
That God is what we need!

“Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation’s history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact.
What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine’s tragedy occurs — politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws.
Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts.

“As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him.

To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA — I give to you a sincere challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!
My daughter’s death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!”
- Darrell Scott

Do what the media did not – - let the nation hear this man’s speech. Please share this with your FB friends!

They Earned Their Trident in Benghazi: American Valor

February 7, 2013 By 7 Comments
Benghazi BraveryThis story is the true story of honor, and  true AMERICAN VALOR,  it was Written by: Dr. Charles R. Roots Senior Pastor Former Staff Sergeant, USMC Captain, U. S. Navy Chaplain Corps (Ret) The bias American media will never tell this story, this is why I am sharing this story here. BENGHAZI: The stunning part of this story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction. Just think how much could have been accomplished if they had the support of their Commander-in-Chief.The news has been full of the attacks on our embassies throughout the Muslim world, and in particular, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi , Libya . However, apart from the shameful amount of disinformation willingly distributed by the Main Stream Media and the current administration, there’s a little known story of incredible bravery, heroics, and courage that should be the top story of every news agency across the fruited plain.So what actually happened at the U.S. embassy in Libya ? We are learning more about this every day. Ambassador Stevens and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, along with administrative staff, were working out of temporary quarters due to the fact that in the spring of 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, the United States cut ties with then president Moammar Gadhafi. Our embassy was looted and ransacked, causing it to be unusable. It is still in a state of disrepair. Security for embassies and their personnel is to be provided by the host nation. Since Libya has gone through a civil war of sorts in the past 18 months, the current government is very unstable, and therefore, unreliable

A well-organized attack by radical Muslims was planned specifically targeting the temporary U.S. embassy building. The Libyan security force that was in place to protect our people deserted their post, or joined the attacking force. Either way, our people were in a real fix. And it should be noted that Ambassador Stevens had mentioned on more than one occasion to Secretary of State, “Hillary Clinton”, that he was quite concerned for his personal safety and the welfare of his people. It is thought that Ambassador Stevens was on a “hit list.”

A short distance from the American compound, two Americans were sleeping. They were in Libya as independent contractors working an assignment totally unrelated to our embassy. They also happened to be former Navy SEALs. When they heard the noise coming from the attack on our embassy, as you would expect from highly trained warriors, they ran to the fight. Apparently, they had no weapons, but seeing the Libyan guards dropping their guns in their haste in fleeing the scene, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty snatched up several of these discarded weapons and prepared to defend the American compound.

Not knowing exactly what was taking place, the two SEALs set up a defensive perimeter. Unfortunately Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured, and Foreign Service officer, Sean Smith, was dead. However, due to their quick action and suppressive fire, twenty administrative personnel in the embassy were able to escape to safety. Eventually, these two courageous men were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers brought against them, an enemy force numbering between 100 to 200 attackers which came in two waves. But the stunning part of the story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force. Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

As it became apparent to these selfless heroes, they were definitely going to lose their lives unless some reinforcements showed up in a hurry. As we know now, that was not to be. I’m fairly certain they knew they were going to die in this gun fight, but not before they took a whole lot of bad guys with them!

Consider these tenets of the Navy SEAL Code:

1) Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate,

2) Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield,

3) Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit,

4) Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates,

5) Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation,

6) Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, 

7) Earn your Trident every day (http://www.navyseals.com/seal-code-warrior-creed).

Thank you, Tyrone and Glen. To the very last breath, you both lived up to the SEAL Code. You served all of us well. You were courageous in the face of certain death.

And Tyrone, even though you never got to hold your newborn son, he will grow up knowing the character and quality of his father, a man among men who sacrificed himself defending others. God bless America!

This was sent to me by a friend, and I decided to pass it on through my website. I have not added much to it all all. I tried to stay true to the original text. Please honor this US Marine Chaplain’s request, where he says  ”This should be passed on and on and on. No true American would object to receiving this more than once…SO PASS IT ON. THEY GAVE ALL THEY HAD TO GIVE…”

Nullify “King” Obama’s Gun Control Executive Orders

January 17, 2013 By 11 Comments

Rand Paul Nullify Executive Order Gunban

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) announced on Wednesday that he will introduce legislation next week to “nullify” unconstitutional executive orders that President Obama has said he will issue to implement new national gun controls.

Appearing on the Fox network with Sean Hannity, Paul pointed out that several of the president’s executive orders “appear as if he’s writing new law,” which would be an executive trespass on the legislative powers of Congress and a violation of the Constitution’s separation of powers. “I’m afraid that President Obama may have this ‘king complex’ sort of developing, and we’re going to make sure it doesn’t happen,” he told Sean Hannity.

The only particulars of  Sen. Rand Pauls “Separation of Powers Restoration and Second Amendment Protection of 2013″ to be found at this time is a one-page summary draft plan that has appeared on the website Talking Points Memo.

Let’s hope Senator Paul is successful.
