November 30, 2013, 11:25 amWhy Obama Can't Wave Away This Scandal
Why Obama Can't Wave Away This Scandal
He gets away with things because Democrats, Congress and Media have always allowed him to do so. Is it any surprise he thought he could just easily lie his way out, as he has done with everything else?
Via NY Post:
People are puzzled: Why would Barack Obama have lied about how wonderfully everything was going to go with ObamaCare when officials in his administration knew perfectly well that disaster was going to strike?
In one sense, the answer is simple: At the time, just before Oct. 1, Republicans were insisting ObamaCare be delayed or defunded. The president and his team weren't going to give the enemy the satisfaction of agreeing — or the potent am
munition that would have come from a rueful admission the system wasn't ready.
Today, a bipartisan agreement to delay ObamaCare seems like it would have been a pretty good deal. It didn't look that way at all in the last two weeks of September.
But there's a deeper reason he and his people lied: They did it because they could. They did it because nearly five years in the White House had given Obama and his team confidence they would not face the music and they could finesse the problems until they got fixed.
Consider the events that would have been unprecedented scandals in a Republican administration — with teams of reporters digging and scratching daily at every nook and cranny in every bureaucratic corridor — that have instead been covered dutifully but with relatively little passion and almost no follow-up. Why? Because it would have hurt Obama, that's why.
First, the Obama Justice Department.
Attorney General Eric Holder has survived three scandals that would have felled a Republican. His department attempted to soft-pedal its responsibility for the so-called "gunwalking" policy called Fast and Furious — which led to the murders of US border agents by Mexican drug-cartel members with guns effectively provided to the killers by the Justice Department.
He approved the secret surveillance of Fox News Channel reporter James Rosen in a leak investigation on the outrageous grounds that Rosen was a possible "co-conspirator" in an act of espionage. And he approved similar tactics against reporters at the Associated Press in another leak investigation.
Holder's still there. Obama defends him. When was the last time you heard Rosen's name mentioned, or the AP story referenced, or Fast and Furious come up?
Second, the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS's own acknowledgement that it had targeted conservative groups with anti-liberal agendas has led to shamed retirements, hasty changes at the top of the agency and officials pleading the Fifth Amendment. These efforts were clearly undertaken to find means by which to aid Democratic efforts in the 2010 and 2012 election. One can only wonder at what would have been done to George W. Bush by the media had similar outrages been perpetated on leftist groups in 2003 and 2004. Obama suffered . . . a little. A very little.
Third, the State Department.
The unconscionable behavior of State Department and White House officials during and after the killing of four Americans in Benghazi at the height of the 2012 race — during which the American people were deliberately and consciously misled — has had no lasting consequences whatsoever. Obama felt free to select the chief liar, Susan Rice, as his national-security adviser without experiencing a moment's fear about how her appointment might become a scandal.
Fourth, making law from the White House.
In 2011, the president said that owing to Republican recalcitrance in the House of Representatives, he would use his executive authority to get things done. And he has. As Tara Helfman writes in the December issue of Commentary, the magazine I edit, "Notwithstanding President Obama's constitutional duty to enforce the law of the Untied States, where federal laws conflict with his policy preferences on gay marriage, illegal immigration and drug policy, the president has simply opted not to enforce or defend them."
Moreover, to strengthen his hand with Hispanic voters in 2012, he ordered the Justice Department to follow certain provisions of a law governing illegal immigrants that has yet to be approved by the Congress. That is unprecedented.
So, if you want to understand the blindness and arrogance of the Obama White House in failing to appreciate the wave of rage and disappointment and disgusted wonderment that would hit them in the wake of the ObamaCare rollout, you need only consider these factors.
He has always had the protection of his liberal base.
He has always had the protection of Senate Democrats, who have not acted in any way to trouble him regarding these scandals and who have impeded aggressive investigations into them.
And he has always had the protection of the mainstream media.
As a result, Barack Obama and his administration have said what they felt they needed to say and done what they felt they needed to do for immediate political gain. They did so this time. But this time was different, because this time he was mishandling and discrediting the great liberal desideratum of our time — a national health-care system.
This time he hasn't gotten away with it.

Obama Spending Millions On Creating Fake Groups To Promote Failed Obamacare
With the roll out of Obamacare being as disastrous as possible for the Obama administration, one group was given a $1 million grant to help lead a rebranding effort with hopes of salvaging the law in the eyes of the American people.
Families USA (FUSA) — an organization that describes itself as a "national nonprofit, non-partisan organization dedicated to the achievement of high-quality, affordable health care for all Americans" — was given a $1.1 million grant by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation on October 4, 2013, to gather "success stories" of Americans dealing with Obamacare and distribute them to the media who often refer to them as an "independent" group. This is part of a greater upcoming effort to bolster the perception of the lowly health care law.
"The purpose is to bridge the information gap for people who can significantly benefit from the Affordable Care Act," Ron Pollack, the Co-founder and Executive Director of Families USA, told TIME on October 25, 2013.
However, the organization is a far cry from "non-partisan" and is extremely close to the Obama Administration and Enroll America – the group leading the efforts to sign people up for Obamacare.
Philippe Villers, the president of Families USA, serves as the Secretary and Treasurer of Board of a little-known group called the Herndon Alliance. The Herndon Alliance originated in Herndon, VA in 2005 and produced research the left used to sell the overhaul of the United States health care system and counteract opposition as the president was making a push for Obamacare. As Lachlan Markay of the Washington Free Beacon noted, they are credited with crafting President Obama's, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it" message, and are even backed with money from George Soros' Open Society Institute.
In 2009 Politico wrote, "When President Barack Obama says Americans can maintain their 'choice' of doctors and insurance plans, he is using a Herndon strategy for wringing fear out of a system overhaul." They were also described as, "the most influential group in the health arena that the public has never heard of."
Ron Pollack, the above mentioned co-founder and Executive Director of Families USA, told the Washington Post in a 2010 interview after the passage of Obamacare that he was going to help found a group called Enroll America in order to raise millions of dollars to assist with enrollment.
"We're actually helping to found a new organization to work on this. Its placeholder name is Enroll America, and it will involve all the different interest groups, from supporters of reform like consumers groups to community health centers and doctors and insurers," Pollack told Ezra Klein during an interview. He continued, "And what we'll do is raise tens of millions of dollars for state groups to work with the state to try to create the most effective systems to apply and enroll. You should be able to enroll with simple application forms at a doctor's office or a pharmacy. You shouldn't have to take the day off of work. That sort of thing."
Pollack currently sits on the board of directors of Enroll America.
In fact, the grants given by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation show Families USA and Enroll America are in the exact same office building, in the exact same suite. source – Capital City Project

November 26, 2013, 1:04 pmForbes Calls for Impeachment
Forbes Calls for Impeachment
Obama's disastrous presidency represents a fork in the road. We can turn back, toward limited government, division of powers, and individual liberty. Or we can plunge forward, into egalitarian autocracy. At the rate Obama is laying waste to the foundations of our government, we may not have three years to make the decision. Already Forbes is calling for impeachment:
Since President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, he has changed it five times. Most notably, he suspended the employer mandate last summer. This is widely known, but almost no one seems to have grasped its significance.
The Constitution authorizes the President to propose and veto legislation. It does not authorize him to change existing laws. The changes Mr. Obama ordered in Obamacare, therefore, are unconstitutional. This means that he does not accept some of the limitations that the Constitution places on his actions. We cannot know at this point what limitations, if any, he does accept.
The ObamaCare fiasco has made clear that Obama believes he has the power to alter laws at will, in open defiance of the Constitution. If we let this stand, we are no longer a constitutional republic.
The main responsibility the Constitution assigns to the President is to faithfully execute the Laws.
But if a law does not comply with Obama's left-wing ideology, like the Defense of Marriage Act, he openly refuses to enforce it.
His contempt for Congress has been made plain:
He has repeatedly made clear that he intends to act on his own authority. "I have the power and I will use it in defense of the middle class," he has said. "We're going to do everything we can, wherever we can, with or without Congress." There are a number of names for the system Mr. Obama envisions, but representative government is not one of them.
Likewise his contempt for the other major brake on executive power, the Supreme Court:
In an act of overbearing hubris, he excoriated Supreme Court Justices sitting helplessly before him during the 2010 State of the Union address—Justices who had not expected to be denounced and who were prevented by the occasion from defending themselves. Mr. Obama condemned them for restoring freedom of speech to corporations and unions.
His administration has a history of ignoring Supreme Court rulings it doesn't like, as with provisions of the Voting Rights Act found to be unconstitutional and the standard to be used for "sexual harassment." If the Supremes find against his practice of making "recess" appointments when the Senate is not in recess, he is likely to ignore it again.
The shocking fact is that our whole system of representative government depends on it being led by an individual who believes in it; who thinks it is valuable; who believes that a government dedicated to the protection of individual rights is a noble ideal. What if he does not?
Mr. Obama is moving our government away from its traditional system of checks and balances and toward the one-man-rule that dominates third world countries.
Anyone in Washington who hasn't been corrupted to the point of no longer believing in this country has a duty to defend our system of government.
Surely, rejection of the Constitution is grounds for impeachment and charges should be filed. In addition, there are many other actions that Congressmen can and should take—actions that will tell Mr. Obama that we have seen where he is going and we will not let our country go without a fight.
At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Benjamin Franklin was asked what form of government had been created. "A republic," he replied, "if you can keep it."
We are losing it. If Mr. Obama's reach for unprecedented power is not stopped, that will be the end.
If we let America as it was founded die on our watch, the shame will last to the end of human history.

November 22, 2013, 11:35 pmWhite Slavery in America
White Slavery in America
"17th and 18th century 'economists' advocated the enslavement of poor Whites because they saw them as the cheapest and most effective way to develop the colonies in the New World and expand the British empire. As the plantation system expanded in the southern American colonies, planters demanded the legalization of the practice of kidnapping poor Whites."
Poor Whites and the Confederacy
Even if they attained their freedom, dirt-poor Whites were forced to compete against negro slave labor. Jobs were few and Southern planters sat idly as poor Whites died of malnutrition for want of food and medicine. Negro slaves were expensive. To protect their investments, White aristocrats usually treated their negro slaves well, providing for adequate food, clothing and medication even as poor Whites in the same town sickened and died from disease and malnutrition.
Try to envision the 19th century scene: yeoman southern Whites, sick and destitute, watching their children dying while enduring the spectacle of negroes from the jungles of Africa healthy and well-fed thanks to the ministrations of their fabulously wealthy White owners who cared little or nothing for the local "White trash."
In the course of an 1855 journey up the Alabama River on the steamboat Fashion, Frederic Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who designed New York's Central Park, observed bales of cotton being thrown from a considerable height into a cargo ship's hold. The men tossing the bales somewhat recklessly into the hold were negroes, the men in the hold were Irish. Olmsted inquired about this to a mate on the ship. 'Oh, said the mate, 'the <snip>s are worth too much to be risked here; if the Paddies are knocked overboard or get their backs broke, nobody loses anything." (Frederic Law Olm-sted, A Journey to the Seaboard Slave States, pp. 100-101; G.E.M. de Ste. Croix, Slavery and Other Forms of Unfree Labor, p. 27).
In the antebellum South, "Gangs of Irish immigrants worked ditching and draining plantations, building levees and sometimes clearing land because of the danger to valuable (negro) slave property …George Templeton Strong, a Whig patrician diarist… considered Irish workmen at his home to have had 'prehensile paws' rather than hands. He denounced the 'Celtic beast'… Irish youths… were sometimes called 'Irish slaves' and more frequently 'bound boys'…" A common joke in the South in the pre-Civil War period was that when Blacks were ordered to work hard they complained that their masters were treating them 'like Irishmen.' (Roediger, pp. 133, 146,150).*
"When I was a boy,' recalled Waters Mcintosh, who had been a slave in Sumter, South Carolina, 'we used to sing, 'Rather be a <snip> than a poor white man.' Even in slavery we used to sing that.'
"Mr. McIntosh's remarks reveal… that the poor whites of the South ranked below blacks in social standing… slaves felt unbridled contempt for lower-class whites… Frederick Douglass opened his famous Life and Times with an account of Talbot County, Maryland, which he said housed a 'white population of the lowest order…
"Throughout the South the slaves of many of the larger planters lived in a society of blacks and well-to-do whites and were encouraged to view even respectable laboring Whites with disdain… Ella Kelly, who had been a slave in South Carolina:
"…You know, boss, dese days dere is three kind of people. Lowest down is a layer of white folks, then in de middle is a layer of colored folks, and on top is de cream, a layer of good white folks…
"The slaves noticed their masters sense of superiority toward marginal farmers as well as toward poor whites and, by associating themselves with 'de quality white folks,' strengthened their self-esteem…
"…a slave… expressed no surprise that his master, who was Big Buckra, never associated with white trash. And Rosa Starke, who had been owned by a big planter in South Carolina, reported that poor whites had to use the kitchen door when they went up to the Big House. Her mistress 'had a grand manner; no patience with poor white folks.'
"…The many (negro) ex-slaves who recalled the lot of the small farmers and poor whites as hard and even as bad as their own knew what they were talking about.
"…The slaves saw enough abject poverty, disease, and demoralization among the poor whites… to see their own condition under Ole Massa's protection as perhaps not the worst of evils." (Eugene D. Genovese, "Rather Be a <snip> Than a Poor White Man': Slave Perceptions of Southern Yeoman and Poor Whites," in Toward a New View of America, pp. 79, 81-82, 84, 90-91).
This situation engendered a rage in the descendants and survivors of White slavery which has seldom been accounted for in the history of White working class support for the Northern abolitionist cause. We can gauge the attitude of yeoman Whites, especially in the border states like Kentucky and Tennessee, but throughout the U.S.A. as well, who were either neutral during the Confederacy's struggle or sided with Lincoln, from the statement of an Iowa Congressman who maintained that it was the planter aristocracy "which exalts and spreads Africans at the expense of the White race." (Emma Lou Thornbrough, "The Race Issue in Indiana Politics During the Civil War," Indiana Magazine of History, June, 1951).
Some of the leaders of the Free Soil Party and many of the Unionist soldiers who made up the ranks of Lincoln's armies in southern Ohio, western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, southern Illi-nois, Kentucky and elsewhere were survivors of White slavery or descendants of White slaves. They did not view themselves as advocates of what was then referred to as racial "amalgamation."
Historically they regarded themselves as separatists and viewed the Southern planter's desire to spread negroes into California, Oregon and other territories as a grave threat to free White labor and the Old Testament principle of racial separation (Nehemiah 13:23-27; Ezra 10:10-14; Hosea 5:7).
Congressman David Wilmot sponsored a law to ban Black slavery in the American West. He dubbed his proposed law, "the White Man's Proviso." He was bitterly opposed by the Southern elite. Wilmot told Congress that he intended to preserve America's western frontier for "the sons of toil, my own race and color." (Charles B. Going, David Wilmot: Free-Soiler, p. 174).
During much of the Civil War the political and military leaders of the Confederacy could not travel in certain parts of the Deep South without armed escorts (Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, "The Civil War," The United States at War Audio Classics Series, Part Two), for fear of attack from "Upcountry" Southern Whites who hated the planter aristocracy and the war they saw as being for the sole benefit of the expansion of the planter's "infernal negroes." Upcountry Southern Whites consisted in large part of the survivors and the children of the survivors of White slavery who resided in the hills, mountains and Piedmont regions of the South under frontier conditions.
In the antebellum 19th century South, "A large number of white Southerners lived in the upcountry, an area of small farmers and herdsmen… engaged largely in mixed and subsistence agriculture… Little currency circulated, barter was common and upcountry families dressed in 'homespun cloth, the product of the spinning wheel and the hand-loom.' This economic order gave rise to a distinctive subculture that celebrated mutuality, egalitarianism (for whites) and… independence.
"…mountain counties rejected secession from the outset. One citizen of Winston County in the northern Alabama hill country believed yeoman had no business fighting for a planter-dominated aristocracy: 'All tha want is to git you… to fight for their infernal negroes and after you do their fightin' you may kiss their hind parts for o tha care." (Eric Foner, Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution, 1863-1877, pp. 11 and 13).
Poor Whites had to be drafted into the Confederate army. As in the North, where resistance to conscription was widespread, many Southern Whites saw the conflict as "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight." Indeed, any slaveholder owning 20 or more Black slaves was exempt from military combat.
From 1609 until the early 1800s, between one-half and two-thirds of all the White colonists who came to the New World came as slaves. Of the passengers on the Mayflower, twelve were White slaves (John Van der Zee, Bound Over, p. 93). White slaves cleared the forests, drained the swamps, built the roads. They worked and died in greater numbers than anyone else.
Both psychologically and materially Whites in modern times are called upon to bear burdens of guilt and monetary reparation for negro slavery. This position is based entirely on enforced ignorance and the deliberate suppression of the record of White slavery in North America. Hundreds of thousands of Whites had been enslaved during the colonial era in America while millions of others were too poor to afford even a mule, much less a Black slave.
Slave reparations and guilty feelings are due – if one subscribes to such a thing as retroactive collective guilt – from the descendants of the minority of wealthy Whites who owned negro slaves and who, in the South at least, were themselves generally reduced to penury in the aftermath of the Civil War. Reparations would also have to be paid by the descendants of the Cherokee and other American Indian tribes who owned Black slaves and by the heirs of Black tribal leaders in Africa who sold them into slavery.
Reparations must also be paid, if the logic of the situation is to be consistent, to the modern day White descendants of the White slaves of early America.
The whole discussion of negro slavery, Southern racism and the Civil War as currently framed by the Establishment agenda, necessarily must exclude any examination of the fact of White slavery, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the condition of free White poor in the 19th century forced to compete against negro slave labor in the South.
* Strong's opinion was hardly unanimous. In the 1850s, Massachusetts legislator Caleb Cushing announced that he admitted "to an equality with me, sir, the White man – my blood and race – whether he be a Saxon of England or a Celt of Ireland… but I do not admit as my equals either the red man of America, or the yellow man of Asia, or the black of Africa"
Irish-Americans were among the foremost fighters for the rights of White workers and for separation of the races. The term miscegenation (from the Latin, miscere, to mix and genus, for race) was coined by two Irishmen, George Wakeman and D.G. Croly, in their anonymously written, 1863 anti-integration satire, Miscegenation: The Theory of the Blending of the Races. The Englishman James D. Burn observed that, "…it is in the Irish residents that they (American negroes) have, and will continue to have, their most formidable enemies…" (Three Years Among the Working Classes in the U.S. During the [Civil] War, p. xiv). O
The great bulk of the legal voters of the South were men who owned no slaves; their homes were generally in the hills and poor country; their facilities for educating their children, even up to the point of reading and writing, were very limited; their interest in the contest was very meagre–what there was, if they had been capable of seeing it, was with the North; they too needed emancipation. Under the old regime they were looked down upon by those who controlled all the affairs in the interest of slave-owners, as poor white trash who were allowed the ballot so long as they cast it according to direction."

ABC News Uncovers Obama Admin Has Flooded America With Islamic Terrorists Disguised As Iraqi Refugees
On August 8, 2013 NTEB News warned you of the plan by the Obama Administration to sneak into the country scores of highly-trained Muslim terrorists disguised as refugees from war-torn Iraq and Syria. Today, ABC News confirms that this has happened exactly as we warned you it would.
ABC News: Several dozen suspected terrorist bombmakers, including some believed to have targeted American troops, may have mistakenly been allowed to move to the United States as war refugees, according to FBI agents investigating the remnants of roadside bombs recovered from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The discovery in 2009 of two al Qaeda-Iraq terrorists living as refugees in Bowling Green, Kentucky — who later admitted in court that they'd attacked U.S. soldiers in Iraq — prompted the bureau to assign hundreds of specialists to an around-the-clock effort aimed at checking its archive of 100,000 improvised explosive devices collected in the war zones, known as IEDs, for other suspected terrorists' fingerprints.

"We are currently supporting dozens of current counter-terrorism investigations like that," FBI Agent Gregory Carl, director of the Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), said in an ABC News interview to be broadcast tonight on ABC News' "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline".
"I wouldn't be surprised if there were many more than that," said House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul. "And these are trained terrorists in the art of bombmaking that are inside the United States; and quite frankly, from a homeland security perspective, that really concerns me."
As a result of the Kentucky case, the State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets. One Iraqi who had aided American troops was assassinated before his refugee application could be processed, because of the immigration delays, two U.S. officials said. In 2011, fewer than 10,000 Iraqis were resettled as refugees in the U.S., half the number from the year before, State Department statistics show.
Suspect in Kentucky Discovered to Have Insurgent Past
An intelligence tip initially led the FBI to Waad Ramadan Alwan, 32, in 2009. The Iraqi had claimed to be a refugee who faced persecution back home — a story that shattered when the FBI found his fingerprints on a cordless phone base that U.S. soldiers dug up in a gravel pile south of Bayji, Iraq on Sept. 1, 2005. The phone base had been wired to unexploded bombs buried in a nearby road.
An ABC News investigation of the flawed U.S. refugee screening system, which was overhauled two years ago, showed that Alwan was mistakenly allowed into the U.S. and resettled in the leafy southern town of Bowling Green, Kentucky, a city of 60,000 which is home to Western Kentucky University and near the Army's Fort Knox and Fort Campbell. Alwan and another Iraqi refugee, Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 26, were resettled in Bowling Green even though both had been detained during the war by Iraqi authorities, according to federal prosecutors.
Most of the more than 70,000 Iraqi war refugees in the U.S. are law-abiding immigrants eager to start a new life in America, state and federal officials say.
But the FBI discovered that Alwan had been arrested in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 2006 and confessed on video made of his interrogation then that he was an insurgent, according to the U.S. military and FBI, which obtained the tape a year into their Kentucky probe. In 2007, Alwan went through a border crossing to Syria and his fingerprints were entered into a biometric database maintained by U.S. military intelligence in Iraq, a Directorate of National Intelligence official said. Another U.S. official insisted that fingerprints of Iraqis were routinely collected and that Alwan's fingerprint file was not associated with the insurgency.
"How do they get into our community?"
In 2009 Alwan applied as a refugee and was allowed to move to Bowling Green, where he quit a job he briefly held and moved into public housing on Gordon Ave., across the street from a school bus stop, and collected public assistance payouts, federal officials told ABC News.
"How do you have somebody that we now know was a known actor in terrorism overseas, how does that person get into the United States? How do they get into our community?" wondered Bowling Green Police Chief Doug Hawkins, whose department assisted the FBI.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Peter Boogaard said in a statement that the U.S. government "continually improves and expands its procedures for vetting immigrants, refugees and visa applicants, and today [the] vetting process considers a far broader range of information than it did in past years."
"Our procedures continue to check applicants' names and fingerprints against records of individuals known to be security threats, including the terrorist watchlist, or of law enforcement concern… These checks are vital to advancing the U.S. government's twin goal of protecting the world's most vulnerable persons while ensuring U.S. national security and public safety," the statement said.
Last year, a Department of Homeland Security senior intelligence official testified in a House hearing that Alwan and Hammadi's names and fingerprints were checked by the FBI, DHS and the Defense Department during the vetting process in 2009 and "came in clean."
After the FBI received the intelligence tip later that year, a sting operation in Kentucky was mounted to bait Alwan with a scheme hatched by an undercover operative recruited by the FBI, who offered Alwan the opportunity to ship heavy arms to al Qaeda in Iraq. The FBI wanted to know if Alwan was part of a local terror cell — a fear that grew when he tapped a relative also living in Bowling Green, Hammadi, to help out.
The FBI secretly taped Alwan bragging to the informant that he'd built a dozen or more bombs in Iraq and used a sniper rifle to kill American soldiers in the Bayji area north of Baghdad.
"He said that he had them 'for lunch and dinner,'" recalled FBI Louisville Supervisory Special Agent Tim Beam, "meaning that he had killed them."
Alwan even sketched out IED designs, which the FBI provided to ABC News, that U.S. bomb experts had quickly determined clearly demonstrated his expertise.
'Needle in a Haystack' Fingerprint Match Found on Iraq Bomb Parts, White House Briefed
The case drew attention at the highest levels of government, FBI officials told ABC News, when TEDAC forensic investigators tasked with finding IEDs from Bayji dating back to 2005 pulled 170 case boxes and, incredibly, found several of Alwan's fingerprints on a Senao-brand remote cordless base station. A U.S. military Significant Action report on Sept. 1, 2005 said the remote-controlled trigger had been attached to "three homemade-explosive artillery rounds concealed by gravel with protruding wires."
"There were two fingerprints, developed on the top of the base station," Katie Suchma, an FBI supervisory physical scientist at TEDAC who helped locate the evidence, told ABC News at the center's IED examination lab. "The whole team was ecstatic because it was like finding a needle in a haystack."
"This was the type of bomb he's talking about when he drew those pictures," added FBI electronics expert Stephen Mallow.
Word was sent back to the FBI in Louisville.
"It was a surreal moment, it was a real game changer, so to speak, for the case," FBI agent Beam told ABC News. "Now you have solidified proof that he was involved in actual attacks against U.S. soldiers."
Worse, prosecutors later revealed at Hammadi's sentencing hearing that he and Alwan had been caught on an FBI surveillance tape talking about using a bomb to assassinate an Army captain they'd known in Bayji, who was now back home – and to possibly attack other homeland targets.
"Many things should take place and it should be huge," Hammadi told Alwan in an FBI-recorded conversation, which a prosecutor read at Hammadi's sentencing last year.
Then-FBI Director Robert Mueller briefed President Obama in early 2011 as agents and Louisville federal prosecutors weighed whether to arrest Alwan and Hammadi or continue arranging phony arms shipments to Iraq that the pair could assist with, consisting of machine guns, explosives and even Stinger missiles the FBI had secretly rendered inoperable and which never left the U.S.
But agents soon determined there were no other co-conspirators. An FBI SWAT team collared the terrorists in a truck south of Bowling Green in late May 2011, only weeks after al Qaeda founderOsama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan and Obama had visited nearby Fort Campbell to thank the SEALs and Army Nightstalker pilots for their successful mission. The Kentucky al Qaeda case drew little attention as the nation celebrated Bin Laden's death.
Suspects Linked to Attack That Killed 4 US Soldiers
Pennsylvania National Guard soldiers who had served in Bayji in 2005 saw news reports about the two arrests, and Army Staff Sgt. Joshua Hedetniemi called the FBI to alert them to an Aug. 9, 2005, IED attack that killed four of their troopers in a humvee patrolling south of the town. The U.S. attorney's office in Louisville eventually placed the surviving soldiers in its victim notification system for the case, even though it couldn't be conclusively proven that Alwan and Hammadi had killed the Guardsmen.
The four Pennsylvania soldiers killed that day were Pfc. Nathaniel DeTample, 19, Spec. Gennaro Pellegrini, 31, Spec. Francis J. Straub Jr., 24, and Spec. John Kulick, 35.
"It was a somber moment for the platoon, we had a great deal of love and respect for those guys and it hit us pretty hard," Hedetniemi said in an interview in the Guard's armory near Philadelphia. "I think that these two individuals are innately evil to be able to act as a terrorist and attack and kill American soldiers, then have the balls to come over to the United States and try to do the same exact thing here in our homeland."
Confronted with all the evidence against them, Alwan and Hammadi agreed to plead guilty to supporting terrorism and admitted their al Qaeda-Iraq past. Alwan cooperated and received 40 years, while Hammadi received a life term which he is appealing. A hearing for Hammadi's appeal took place Tuesday in the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Ohio.
"We need to take this as a case study and draw the right lessons from it, and not just high-five over this," said retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Barbero, who headed the military's Joint IED Defeat Organization until last May. "How did a person who we detained in Iraq — linked to an IED attack, we had his fingerprints in our government system — how did he walk into America in 2009?"
Barbero is credited with leveraging the Kentucky case to help the FBI get funding to create a new state of the art fingerprint lab focused solely on its IED repository in a huge warehouse outside Washington. The new FBI lab assists counterterrorism investigations of suspected bombmakers and IED emplacers and looks for latent prints on 100,000 IED remnants collected over the past decade by the military and stored in the vast TEDAC warehouse.
The only man in the Humvee to survive the 2005 IED bombing in Bayji, Daniel South, who is now an Army Black Hawk helicopter pilot in Texas, said he was stunned to learn al Qaeda-Iraq insurgents were living in Kentucky — but he's glad they were finally brought to justice for attacking U.S. troops in Iraq.
"I kind of wish that we had smoked [Alwan] when it happened, but we didn't have that opportunity so I guess this is second best," South told ABC News. source – ABC News

National Call To Action — 'The Fate Of The Country Is Now In Our Hands' –Time For A Change of Government & Leadership To Save The Republic: Gen. Paul E. Vallely, Ret.
November 18, 2013
By Gen. PAUL E. VALLELY, Ret.
It is time for "Forced Resignations" initiated by our Citizens! Our leaders have failed us miserably. The following individuals of America's leadership team must resign by the "Demand Resignation" process. A revised process will be created to replace these leaders prior to new elections.
Barack Obama
Joe Biden
Harry Reid
John Boehner
Mitch McConnell
Nancy Pelosi
We know the 'Impeachment "process under the Constitution will not be successful because of partisan politics.
Our federal government continues down the path of destroying America. Americans must now stand up and put America back on the right track. The federal government has not subsided in "sucking the oxygen" out of America and its people with legislation and without the action required to solve our problems. The National Call to Action of the people begins now! And we call to action all branches of government to do your constitutional duties and not be led astray in the cultural and moral decay of America. We have witnessed far too many lies, deception and corruption of the republic.
You see, we do not need you other than to represent us, the people, and abide by and protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The Declaration of Independence states: "To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness."
Likewise, in the poem "Invictus" by English poet William Ernest Henley (1849–1903), we read: "I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul." Yes, America, WE are the Masters of our Fate and the Captains of our Soul." Our nation burns and self-destructs before our very eyes but now you are starting to awaken. The majority of the country and its citizens have experienced and seen our inept and incompetent leadership In Washington! The battle is on and we shall not retreat.
We will not permit the leaders in the White House and halls of Congress to lead us down a road of progressive socialism and destruction of the republic. The patriotic revolution that I forecast well over a year ago is happening now. We constitutionalists face a battle that is unknown to our generations so we must be aggressive in our collective efforts to continue to turn back the tide. The fate of the country is now in our hands and the plea from the majority of our citizens is to enforce the Constitution, severely limit the federal government and its out-of-control spending. There is a growing list of documented violations of the Constitution and their oath of office by current elected and appointed government officials
Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address, "Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right — a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world." Being a representative republic, not a democracy, "rising up" means for us something other than revolution by use of arms. The people must "rise up" (Stand Up) from the grassroots across this great country as we think of the greater good of this and future generations. We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power… resignation, elections, and impeachment. That is why the patriotic revolution and patriotic union must take place to ensure survival of the Union.
The oath is simple and reads: "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."
Sadly, we have seen too many officials violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest bidder.
The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the blessings of liberty. The balance of authority and individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for check and balances. We must make it a local imperative and movement… of the people… by the people… and for the people.
"We the People" have had enough. Enough is Enough. The Obama White House and identifiable members of Congress must now depart from a progressive socialist and treasonous death march and bankrupting the country beyond expectations. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office. "We the People" cannot solely depend on the results of the elections. It is now that many of these public servants (and you know who they are) must put the peoples' and country's interests above self-interest by resigning and stepping down immediately.
A civil uprising is still not out of the question as "pain" grips the country more each day. Hopefully, our future will reflect the citizens changing the tide in a peaceful way. This means raising your voice now to your neighbors, family, co-workers, and friends. Be the captains of your souls. I pray for another George Washington to appear within the year and lead us. This is a National Call to Action.

November 18, 2013, 11:45 am9 Mind-Blowing Facts About Obama's Unemployment Crisis
9 Mind-Blowing Facts About Obama's Unemployment Crisis
Everything Barack Obama says is a lie.
Aside from his lies about Obamacare and global warming, Barack Obama's biggest lies are about the "growing" recovery of employment in America. All of what he says is a lie.
Here are the facts to counter Democrat lies.
There are 102 million Americans of working age who don't have a job. This number represents 58.3% of working age Americans, the highest percentage since 2000. This means that for fifty straight months, there has been sub 59% participation in the job market.
Last month alone, America lost 623,000 full-time jobs. How does that stack up with what the Obama administration tells us?
In the same month, 357,000 women lost their job. More lies.
The average duration of unemployment is almost three times as long today as it was in October 2000.
In October of 2013 alone, the number of Americans falling out of the labor force hit 932,000. Think of that: almost a million people's lives and futures disappeared in a single month.
The 62.8% of people who fell out of the work force in October puts us at the highest level since Jimmy Carter's numbers in 1978. How can we accept this lie? How can the media keep ignoring this point?
November 15, 2013, 10:44 pmWas Benghazi Not Enough? Obama Should Resign Over Obamacare
Was Benghazi Not Enough? Obama Should Resign Over Obamacare
If I were Barack Obama, I would resign as president. Forget all the temporary fixes and limited hangouts, I would be too ashamed of myself for having lied so blatantly to the American people — and on matters of such great significance.
Yes, I am a highly imperfect person. Yes, I have lied. But I doubt I would ever have done what he did, lie so repeatedly and manipulatively to my fellow citizens for my own aggrandizement or for what I personally believe is their better good (even if they don't).
I do not believe the ends justify the means, although, apparently, our president does. Why else would he have lied? People like Stalin do, as we know. They end up killing millions of their compatriots in the process. Obama is not even faintly that bad, but he is bad enough.
One thing is certain. He will never recover from this. Even if his numbers go up, even if the Democrats win in 2014 or 2016, he is an immoral person and will only be seen that way by honest historians. He has stained himself immutably.
How important is this? Consider where we are now. Health care reform is a serious issue, but we are engaged in something even more serious, negotiating nuclear weapons with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Health care can be reformed, can be changed in various ways in a democratic society, even if that change is inconvenient or painful. But once a country has nuclear weapons, it has them. That story is over. And the mullahs with nuclear weapons is something that should terrify a rational person.

When Barack Obama Becomes Suicidal, What Will Democrats Do?
by John DeMayo
It must be difficult for a mentally unhealthy President to watch his signature legislation, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act—the most prized accomplishment of his Presidency—go down in flames; especially for America's crown prince of arrogance, Barrack Hussein Obama.
Had a young Barry Soetoro been taught humility—instead of foolish pride—the boy who became King would have known better than to assume all his days would be full of accolades. Then again, maybe he is not capable of knowing the difference.
President Obama has never had to face failure in his life. Adversity perhaps, but not failure. President Obama has spent his life running away from his failures by seeking temporary and risky pleasures that fed his fragile ego and gratified his desire to be happy: Exotic travel, drugs, homosexual encounters, Islam. All collide with common man causes and a playboy appetite; all disturbing and conflicted excesses; all difficult for anyone to make sense of.
I have always believed that President Obama is mentally ill. Many Americans are more comfortable accepting him as the anti-Christ or pure evil. For those Americans who have never dealt with a high functioning and severely mentally ill person, let me warn you, they can appear to be the very essence of evil and destruction from time to time. Then again, they can make you believe you are loved as well.
In fact, the high functioning mentally ill, live out on a constant limb, running between depression and excess to an occasional stop on a splintered branch called anxiety. A paramount fear of abandonment guides them to execute direct attacks against the things they wish to preserve and keep most. They are prolific liars and masterful agitators. They are relentless. Moreover, they cannot exist without a constant supply of the mood enhancers required to make them feel comfortable within their own skin.
I do not think America sees this in this President. They only see what they think is evil.

Bombshell: Sen. Rand Paul Reveals — Barack Obama Wrote The Regulation To Cancel Your Insurance, And Every Democrat Voted For It!
by SGT, SGTReport.com:
If you, like I, have brainwashed, intellectually dishonest, "liberal" friends who still insist on giving Barack Obama a pass for every rotten thing he has ever done, you might want to make them aware of this additional fact.
According to Senator Rand Paul, who spoke at a luncheon in Charleston, South Carolina on Monday, November 11, the President of the United States himself wrote the regulation to cancel the health insurance of MILLIONS of Americans. And every single Democrat voted for it.
Rand Paul on Obamacare [Begins @ 5:40]:
"I'm still learning about it. It's 20,000 pages of regulations. The Bill was 2,000 pages and I didn't realize this until this week, the whole idea of you losing or getting your insurance cancelled wasn't in the original Obamacare. It was a regulation WRITTEN BY PRESIDENT OBAMA, three months later. So we had a vote, this is before I got up there. The Republicans had a vote to try to cancel that regulation so you COULDN'T BE CANCELLED, to grandfather everybody in. You know what the vote was? Straight party line. EVERY DEMOCRAT VOTED TO KEEP THE RULE THAT CANCELS YOUR INSURANCE."
As the now 20,000+ Obamacare pages come home to roost, remind those who have continued to support the Liar-in-Chief, regardless of his crimes, of this simple fact: The man who sits in the Oval Office (when he's not on a golf course), and the Party to which they have pledged their unquestioning allegiance, has now wholly betrayed them. And their children.
November 10, 2013, 2:01 amBarack Hussein Obama Must Now Be Declared An Enemy Of The State
Barack Hussein Obama Must Now Be Declared An Enemy Of The State
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson
There comes a time, in the history of every nation, where the people must needs rise up against oppression or be consumed by it. Though I will grant you that it is a hard, hard lesson to grasp. Germany, when faced with their hour of crisis in Nazi Germany, chose the cowards way out and embraced the evil. By the time the nature of the dog, the dog had already bit them to death. Only the Allied might stop Hitler's forward progress.
America stands at the front of the class right now, our lesson in front of us with the books that will write our history wide open. How shall we do in our hour of crisis?
Our founding fathers knew that tyrants would come, and made provision for it. The only question is will we be able to act on it? As I write this, one such tyrant occupies the seat of the president of the United States. Like Hitler before him, he used deception and the generosity of the people to get himself "legally elected". And like Hitler, once inside, he has been remaking the government into an unrecognizable entity that spys on its own people and makes mockery of our cherished freedoms.
He has stocked his administration with all manner of anti-Americans, many of which are Sharia Law loving Muslims seeking to overthrow our Constitution. From his early days on the campaign trail he gave clues to anyone and everyone who had eyes to see and ears to hear. Hitler did the same thing when he wrote Mein Kampf.
Obama left the breadcrumbs for you, America, but you refused to look and take notice. Those of us who did were labeled as 'racists' and 'Tea Party illiterates'. But we were right. There was Obama refusing to wear an American flag pin. Obama refusing to put his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. There was Obama campaiging for the role of "President of the World" at the Brandenburg Gate in Germany, where Adolf Hitler had been annointed Chancellor in 1933. The parallels are so obvious, and the irony exquisite.
Everywhere he went, controversy, strife and division followed. He sat for 20 years under a black supremacist preacher, and claimed to know nothing of the man's politics or prejudices. He was unable to produce a simple birth certificate. For four years. He paid over one million dollars to seal his college records so no one can see who paid for his elite upper-class education. His college yearbook plainly lists him an being from Indonesia.
He has a Social Security number issued from the state of Connecticut, where he never lived. He is the only sitting president to ever bow to a foreign Muslim leader. America, America, he has told you every step of the way where he stands. Why won't you listen?
He has forced dozens of generals and other high-ranking officers out of the military, against coded military law. He allowed American citizens to be slaughtered on the anniversary of 9/11, and has never sought to avenge theirs deaths or seek the arrest of the very well-known assailants.
This brings us to the present day and Obamacare.
In 2010, Obama and his brownshirts unleashed a diabolical campaign of lies and trickery the likes of which have never been seen in this country. He fought for, and got, a bill passed into law that does as much to undo our Constitution as could possibly be done short of setting it on fire. And to sell the package to the American people he committed purjury of the highest order by lying about what the bill would ultimately do to us.
America, Barack Huseein Obama is a lot of things. But one thing he no longer can be to you is a mystery. He has revealed too much about himself, his past, and future ambitions for us to continue to plead ignorance. He is the orignal Manchurian Candidate, and he made it all the way in. The remedy for our national ill is not easy or pleasant, but it is still possbile to effect a cure. Listen to the words of Thomas Jefferson, who told us what to do when times like these eventually came:
"But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce the people under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security." –Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776.
That Barack Hussein Obama is an enemy of the state, for all the reasons we have mentioned here (with dozens more that could be listed), there can be no doubt. His yoke must be broken and his reign thrown off immediately, if not sooner. Nothing less than the future of our republic hangs in the balance. There is something we can do, and its faster and better than impeachment.
The remedy is a simple one
His single, greatest attack has been in the creation of Obamacare. It is his grand weapon against the people. It is there that we need to concentrate our efforts, and it is there we need to attack. If the American people will simply refuse to sign up for it, refuse to support it - even at the risk of fines and imprisionment - Obamacare will fail and fall. And with it so falls the Emperor. He has put all his chips on a single horse, hobble the horse and the race is over.
Each and every one of you reading this article has within themselves the power to bring Obama's regime to a complete halt right now. It truly is that simple.
All you have to do is say "no" to Obamacare. All you have to do is just not sign up. The future of our republic stands awaiting your decision.
What will you do?

November 8, 2013, 9:12 amSeven Devastating (Barrycare) Obamacare Facts
Here are seven points about ObamaCare that just might be true for many.
IMO; The whole idea of ObamaCare is to simply devastate the middle class that earns under the median income.
There are no cash transfers going to the lower classes and poor.
Everything is illusionary benefits that may not even help "poor" people.
The middle and low end "Middle Class" is paying the bill.
And I know many people are hoping for that very thing.
Supporters in general seem to be *Star Struck*.
supporting links to each point are in the article...
1. Obamacare will cost taxpayers $1.8 to $2.6 trillion over the next 10 years
2. At least 3.5 million Americans have already received health insurance cancellation notices
3. The now-infamous Obamacare website cost U.S. taxpayers over $1 billion to build
4. The New York Times says Obamacare "will leave out two-thirds of poor blacks and single mothers."
5. Tens of thousands of worker hours and jobs have already been cut due to Obamacare
6. Premiums will rise by 99% for young men and between 55% to 62% for young women
7. Obama promised no less than 23 times that "if you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
Seven Devastating Obamacare Facts
It's ALL About *Perception* !!

Obama Supporters Will Be Ecstatic Over This Comprehensive List Of 423 Obama Lies (Video)
Barack Obama had a loose relationship with the truth, and that's the way he likes it. Now with all the attention being given to Obama and his Obamacare lies, let us not forget these 423 other lies that mainstream media has been trying to sweep under the rug.
Like every Presidentbeofre him, like every politician, every human being tells lies and engages in acts of hypocrisy. But you have to amdit Barack Obama does these things to a far greater degree than any other politician in history. His campaign promises were so much better sounding than anyone else's – no lobbyists in his administration, waiting five days before signing all non-emergency bills so people would have time to read them, putting health care negotiations on C-SPAN, reading every bill line by line to make sure money isn't being wasted, prosecution of Wall St. criminals, ending raids against medical marijuana in states where it's legal, high levels of transparency. Obama's promises of these wonderful things sounded inspiring and sincere. They sounded so much better than the promises of any other President. So when Obama broke these promises, it felt so much worse than when other Presidents broke their promises.
Some of the things on this list are major events that should scare the daylights out of any true liberal who cares about civil liberties.
Other things on this list are medium things that some Obama supporters may dislike, but would be willing to overlook in light of the things that Obama has done which they like.
And some of the things on this list may seem trivial, but I still think they are an interesting reflection of the kinds of policies that Obama supports.
Every claim that I make in this list is sourced. Click on the blue text to see the sources. I have cited a wide variety of sources, from right wing, to left wing, to middle of the road.
I welcome any comments and criticisms that you may have. If you say my list is wrong, please back up your claim by citing specific examples. If you like this article, please share these lies with all your contacts, America need to be reminded of just what our country is up against.
And now, on with the list:
Broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay
Obama broke his promise to close Guantanamo Bay.
Carried out military interventionism in Libya without Congressional approval
In June 2011, U.S. Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) said that Obama had violated the Constitution when he launched military operations in Libya without Congressional approval.
Said the health insurance mandate was not a tax, but later told the Supreme Court that it was
Before Obama's health care reform was passed, he said that the mandate was not a tax. However, after it was passed, the Obama administration argued in front of the Supreme Court that the mandate really was a tax.
llegally solicited donations from health insurers
In May 2013, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from health insurers to help pay for Obamacare. Such soliciting is illegal.
Waited until after the 2012 election to release unpopular Obamacare rules
In April 2013, the New York Times reported:
… even fervent supporters of the law admit that things are going worse than expected.
… the Obama administration didn't want to release unpopular rules before the election.
Everything is turning out to be more complicated than originally envisioned.
A law that was very confusing has become mind-boggling… Americans are just going to be overwhelmed and befuddled. Many are just going to stay away, even if they are eligible for benefits.
Had the Secret Service visit a law abiding citizen who had criticized his policies on Twitter
In April 2013, Obama sent the Secret Service to visit the home of Tom Francois, a law abiding citizen who had criticized Obama's policies on Twitter.
The Secret Service admitted that Francois had not made any threats against Obama.
Increased the national debt more in one term than Bush did in two
The national debt increased more during Obama's first three years and two months than it did during all eight years of George W. Bush's presidency.
Lied about the Benghazi attack
In September 2012, after four U.S. citizens were killed in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, the Obama administration falsely said that the attack was a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim video at YouTube.
CBS News reported that although it was obviously a terrorist attack, it took an entire week before the Obama administration was willing to acknowledge it as such.
The Washington Post reported that Obama had falsely said that he had called it a terrorist attack from the very start.
After the attack began, someone (there is a debate over who this someone was) ordered the nearby U.S. military to "stand down,", i.e., not offer any assistance. Obama is the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military. Obama later falsely claimed that the "stand down" order had not been made.
Although the Obama administration made a dozen revisions to its talking points on this incident, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney falsely stated that only a "single adjustment" had been made, and that it simply involved changing the wording of "consulate" to "diplomatic facility." ABC News published a complete list of all the changes to the talking points, which can be read here.
Among the changes was the deletion of this entire paragraph:
"The Agency has produced numerous pieces on the threat of extremists linked to al-Qa'ida in Benghazi and eastern Libya. These noted that, since April, there have been at least five other attacks against foreign interests in Benghazi by unidentified assailants, including the June attack against the British Ambassador's convoy. We cannot rule out the individuals has previously surveilled the U.S. facilities, also contributing to the efficacy of the attacks."
Victoria Nuland, a State Department spokeswoman, played a key role in the editing of the talking points. But instead of firing her for this, Obama offered her a promotion.
Illegally put thousands of guns into hands of criminals
In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals.
U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with one of these guns.
Falsely said that Fast and Furious was started when Bush was President
In September 2012, Obama said that Fast and Furious had "begun under the previous administration." In reality, Fast and Furious began in October 2009.
Called Fort Hood shooting "workplace violence" instead of "Islamic terrorism"
After Nidal Malik Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar!" and murdered 13 people on U.S. soil, instead of referring to it as "Islamic terrorism," Obama said that it was "workplace violence."
Supported the $700 billion TARP corporate-welfare bailout just like Bush
While Senator, Obama voted for the $700 billion TARP bank bailout bill. The bailout rewarded irresponsible and illegal behavior. It redirected resources from more productive uses to less productive uses. It punished the hard working taxpayers who had played by the rules and obeyed the law. It created horrible incentives, and sent the wrong message. The bailout was evil because it rewarded the bad people and punished the good people. No society that does this can expect to remain free or prosperous. Instead of bailing out these corrupt corporations, we should have let them cease to exist, like we did with Enron.
Gave a no-bid contract to Halliburton – just like Bush did
In May 2010, it was reported that the Obama administration had selected KBR, a former subsidiary of Halliburton, for a no-bid contract worth as much as $568 million through 2011, just hours after the Justice Department had said it would pursue a lawsuit accusing the Houston-based company of using kickbacks to get foreign contracts.
Has an administration full of lobbyists, after promising he wouldn't have any
While running for President, Obama had promised that, unlike Bush, he would not have any lobbyists working in his administration. However, by February 2010, he had more than 40 lobbyists working in his administration.
Expanded Bush's unconstitutional government faith based programs
Obama expanded the federal government's faith based programs which had been started by President George W. Bush.
Supported Bush's unconstitutional Patriot Act
In May 2011, Obama signed a renewal of the Patriot Act.
Agrees with Bush's support of unconstitutional, indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without filing any charges
In December 2011, ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero criticized Obama for signing a bill that gave the U.S. government the power to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without any charges being filed or any trial taking place.
Agrees with Bush's support of unconstitutional, warrantless wiretapping
President Obama has defended warrantless wiretapping.
Avoided prosecution of Wall. St criminals
Although Obama had promised to prosecute Wall St. criminals, during his entire first term, his administration did not file any criminal charges against any of the top financial executives.
Broke his promise to pass immigration bill, and then lied about why he broke it
In 2008, Obama promised that he would pass an immigration bill during his first year in office. He broke that promise. He then blamed this on Republicans, even though both the House and Senate were controlled by Democrats during Obama's first year.
Here is another Video of Obama lying in his own words! They can't deny this.
Practices environmental hypocrisy
In May 2008, Obama said, "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK."
However, just one week later, Obama was photographed exiting an SUV.
In addition, Obama keeps the White House thermostat turned up so high that David Axelrod, Obama's senior adviser, said, "He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."
Environmentalists criticized Obama for eating Wagyu beef, which was called "the Hummer of beef."
Obama had a chef fly round trip from St. Louis to Washington D.C. so he could make Obama's favorite pizza.
Was cited by nine states for committing 21 illegal acts
Attorneys General from nine states issued a report, titled "A Report on Obama Administration Violations of Law," which cited 21 illegal acts which had been committed by the Obama administration.
Purchased 2,717 mine resistant armor protected vehicles for use on civilian streets in the U.S.
In March 2013 it was reported that the Obama administration had purchased 2,717 mine resistant armor protected vehicles for use on civilian streets in the U.S.
Had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process
Obama had four U.S. citizens killed without judicial process.
The ACLU accused Obama of violating the U.S. Constitution for doing this.
U.S. Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) said that Obama's actions might be an impeachable offense.Illegally refused to submit a budget on time during four of his first five years
The President is legally required to submit a budget by the first Monday in February. Obama broke this law during four of his first five years in office. Since 1921, no President had missed this deadline more than once.
Said the deficit had gone down when it had actually gone up
In February 2013, Obama said that the federal deficit had gone down by $2.5 trillion since he had taken office. In reality, it had actually increased by $5.9 trillion during that time.
Added 20,000 extra pages to Obamacare without Congressional approval
After Obamacare was passed, Obama added 20,000 extra pages to it, even though those extra 20,000 pages had not been voted on by Congress.
Oversaw IRS whose employees illegally targeted conservative groups
In May 2013, the Washington Post reported that the IRS had illegally targeted conservative groups for additional reviews. Organizations with the words "tea party" or "patriot" were singled out for harassment, such as requiring them to provide a list of donors, details about their internet postings on social networking websites, and information about their family members.
When this was first reported by the media in May 2013, Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS division that had conducted these illegal activities, claimed that only low level employees had known about it, and that no high level IRS officials had known about it. However, soon afterward, NPR reported that an Inspector General report showed that Lerner had been lying, and that she herself had actually been aware of it since June 29, 2011. Even worse, during March and April of 2012, Lerner herself had actually written such letters to fifteen different conservative groups. One of these letters can be read here.
While testifying in May 2013, Lerner said, "I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations. And I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee." However, afterward, she invoked her fifth amendment right to remain silent. The Washington Post reported that there was disagreement as to whether or not Lerner's statement constituted a waiving of her fifth amendment right to remain silent. Soon afterward, she was placed on paid administrative leave.
In September 2013, a House committee released several of Lerner's emails, which showed that she had targeted tea party groups, and that she had asked that their applications be delayed. In one of the emails from 2011, she had written "Tea Party Matter very dangerous."
In September 2013, after having been on paid leave for four months, Lerner had still not been fired by Obama.
In October 2013, it was reported that newly discovered emails proved that Lerner had violated federal law by giving the Federal Election Commission confidential tax information of several Tea party groups.
The Washington Post reported that IRS officials at the IRS headquarters in Washington D.C. had sent such letters to conservatives groups. Reuters reported that higher level IRS officials had taken part in discussions about it as early as August 2011. However, 21 months later, on May 10, 2013, the Washington Post reported that President Obama had not done anything to investigate or fire the IRS employees who had engaged in this illegal harassment. As of May 14, 2013, none of the IRS employees who engaged in any of this illegal behavior had been disciplined, despite the fact that higher level IRS officials had known about their illegal behavior at least since August 2011.
On May 15, 2013, it was reported that Steven Miller, the acting IRS commissioner, had resigned. However, it was also reported that his assignment would have ended in early June anyway. He resigned – Obama did not fire him.
The IRS gave out confidential information about conservative groups. ProPublica wrote:
"The same IRS office that deliberately targeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year."
"In response to a request for the applications for 67 different nonprofits last November, the Cincinnati office of the IRS sent ProPublica applications or documentation for 31 groups. Nine of those applications had not yet been approved—meaning they were not supposed to be made public."
"No unapproved applications from liberal groups were sent to ProPublica."
President Obama either lied about when he first knew about this – or was too busy playing golf and attending fundraisers to read the memos that were sent to him. The Daily Caller wrote:
"White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a press conference Tuesday that the White House was notified about the IRS targeting tea party groups 'several weeks ago.' This comes a day after President Obama said he found out about it from news reports on Friday of last week."
"During a press conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron on Monday, President Obama was asked about the IRS scandal. He responded, 'I first learned about it from the same news reports that I think most people learned about this. I think it was on Friday.' "
"However, Carney said Tuesday that first a report had to be compiled by the IRS's inspector general and then when it was completed, it was passed on to the administration."
"'A notification is appropriate and routine and that is what happened and that happened several weeks ago,' Carney said."
When Media Trackers, a conservative organization, applied to the IRS for non-profit status, after waiting 16 months, it got no response. But when it reapplied with a liberal sounding name, it got approval in just three weeks. Yahoo wrote:
"In May 2011, Drew Ryun, a conservative activist and former Republican National Committee staffer, began filling out the Internal Revenue Service application to achieve nonprofit status for a new conservative watchdog group."
"When September 2012 arrived with still no word from the IRS, Ryun determined that Media Trackers would likely never obtain standalone nonprofit status, and he tried a new approach: He applied for permanent nonprofit status for a separate group called Greenhouse Solutions, a pre-existing organization that was reaching the end of its determination period."
"The IRS approved Greenhouse Solutions' request for permanent nonprofit status in three weeks."
Politico reported:
"The same Internal Revenue Service office that singled out Tea Party groups for extra scrutiny also challenged Israel-related organizations, at least one of which filed suit over the agency's handling of its application for tax-exempt status."
"The trouble for the Israel-focused groups seems to have had different origins than that experienced by conservative groups, but at times the effort seems to have been equally ham-handed."
The IRS asked conservative groups what books they were reading.
Although the IRS went 18 months or longer without responding to conservative organizations' applications, the IRS demanded that these same organizations answer the IRS's intrusive questions within a few weeks.
After the Waco Tea Party sent an application to the IRS, the IRS waited 19 months to respond. In its response, the IRS asked for printouts of its web page and social networking sites, copies of all of its newsletters, bulletins and fliers, and copies of all stories written about it. The IRS also asked for transcripts of its radio interviews.
As one example of how the IRS treated conservative organizations differently from liberal ones, Politico reported:
"Chris Littleton, one of the co-founders of the Ohio Liberty Coalition, said the group got a grilling from the IRS when it submitted its application, in letters the group has posted on its website. The IRS also gave him so much grief when he tried to apply for tax-exempt status for another group, American Junto, that 'we just gave up on it,' he said."
"But when he submitted an application for a third group — Ohioans for Health Care Freedom, now renamed Ohio Rising — 'it went through just fine,' Littleton said. 'They never asked a single set of questions.'"
After the Greater Phoenix Tea Party Patriots sent in their application, it took two years for the IRS to respond. The IRS response included 35 questions. When the group's cofounder called the IRS, the IRS agent claimed that he had their group's file right in front of him. But when the group's confounder asked the IRS agent a question, the IRS agent asked, "What's your group's name again?"
Tea Party groups who spoke with each other said they were all getting the same questions from the IRS.
The Washington Post reported that some IRS employees were "ignorant about tax laws, defiant of their supervisors, and blind to the appearance of impropriety."
In 2012, the IRS leaked confidential information about Mitt Romney to the co-chairman of President Obama's re-election committee.
For a 27 month period that began in February 2010, the IRS gave exactly zero approvals to Tea Party organizations that had sent in applications. During that same time period, numerous liberal organizations with names including words such as "progress" or "progressive" did get approval.
After True the Vote, a conservative organization which was founded by Catherine Engelbrecht, sent its application to the IRS, the IRS went three years without responding. During that three year period, Engelbrecht and her family's small manufacturing business were audited by the IRS, and were investigated by OSHA, the ATF, and the FBI.
Democratic U.S. Senators pressured the IRS to target conservative groups. In May 2013, U.S. News & World Report wrote:
"Over the last three years, Democratic senators repeatedly and publicly pressured the IRS to engage in the very activities that they are only now condemning today. At the same time, Republicans repeatedly and publicly warned against this abuse of government power and pointed to a series of red flags that strongly suggested conservative political organizations were being targeted by the IRS. Those warnings were deliberately ignored by the Obama administration and Democratic leaders in Congress."
"From Max Baucus to Chuck Schumer to Jeanne Shaheen, key Senate Democrats publicly pressured the IRS to target groups that held differing political views and who, in their view, had the temerity to engage in the political process. The IRS listened to them and acted."
In order to get approval, the IRS required members of Coalition for Life of Iowa, a pro-life organization, to sign a promise to avoid protesting in front of Planned Parenthood.
The IRS asked Christian Voices for Life, a pro-life organization, questions about its prayer vigils.
According to the official White House visitor's log, during Obama's first four years as President, IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman made 157 visits to the White House. This is more visits to the White House – by a very large margin – than any other cabinet member during Obama's first term. By comparison, during the four years that Mark Everson was IRS commissioner when Bush was president, Everson made only one visit to the White House.
Shulman donated $500 to the Democratic National Committee in October 2004.
During Congressional testimony that had taken place in March 2012, Shulman falsely said that the IRS had not targeted conservative groups.
Shulman's wife, Susan L. Anderson, is the senior program advisor for Public Campaign, a liberal organization. The Dailer Caller wrote of this group:
Public Campaign receives "major funding" from the pro-Obamacare alliance Health Care for America NOW!, which is comprised of the labor unions AFL-CIO, AFSCME, SEIU, and the progressive activist organization Move On, among others.
Public Campaign also receives funding from the liberal Ford Foundation, the Common Cause Education Fund, and Barbra Streisand's The Streisand Foundation, among other foundations and private donors.
Stephen Seok was one of the IRS agents who wrote threatening letters to conservative groups. After doing so, he was given a promotion.
In June 2013, it was reported that two IRS employees had violated government ethics rules at a 2010 conference when they received $1,100 in free food and other items. One of them was Fred Schindler, the director of implementation oversight at the IRS Affordable Care Act office. The other was Donald Toda, a California-based employee. Obama did not fire them. Instead, he gave both of them paid leave. By comparison, in 1981, President Reagan fired 11,359 air-traffic controllers who had been illegally striking.
In June 2013, it was reported that The National Organization for Marriage, a conservative organization, had forensic evidence which proved that its donors' private information had been illegally leaked by the IRS. The IRS employee(s) who illegally leaked this private information could get five years in prison.
The IRS illegally leaked the private information of Christine O'Donnell the same day that she announced that she would run for U.S. Senate as a tea party candidate.
According to White House visitor logs, Obama met with Colleen Kelley, the president of the National Treasury Employees Union, on March 31, 2010. The very next day, IRS employees who belonged to that union union started to target tea party organizations.
In July 2013, it was reported that Obama had met with a key IRS official who was involved in the targeting just two days before the key official had told his colleagues how to target tea party groups. The Daily Caller reported:
The Obama appointee implicated in congressional testimony in the IRS targeting scandal met with President Obama in the White House two days before offering his colleagues a new set of advice on how to scrutinize tea party and conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status.
IRS chief counsel William Wilkins, who was named in House Oversight testimony by retiring IRS agent Carter Hull as one of his supervisors in the improper targeting of conservative groups, met with Obama in the Roosevelt Room of the White House on April 23, 2012. Wilkins' boss, then-IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman, visited the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on April 24, 2012, according to White House visitor logs.
On April 25, 2012, Wilkins' office sent the exempt organizations determinations unit "additional comments on the draft guidance" for approving or denying tea party tax-exempt applications, according to the IRS inspector general's report.
Jon Stewart said of this:
"Well, congratulations, President Barack Obama. Conspiracy theorists who generally can survive in anaerobic environments have just had an algae bloom dropped on their f***ing heads, thus removing the last arrow in your pro-governance quiver: skepticism about your opponents."
Michael Macleod-Ball, chief of staff at the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office, said of this:
"Even the appearance of playing partisan politics with the tax code is about as constitutionally troubling as it gets. With the recent push to grant federal agencies broad new powers to mandate donor disclosure for advocacy groups on both the left and the right, there must be clear checks in place to prevent this from ever happening again."
Secretly obtained phone records from Associated Press reporters and editors
In May 2013, Associated Press reported:
The Justice Department secretly obtained two months of telephone records of reporters and editors for The Associated Press in what the news cooperative's top executive called a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into how news organizations gather the news.
The records obtained by the Justice Department listed outgoing calls for the work and personal phone numbers of individual reporters, general AP office numbers in New York, Washington and Hartford, Conn., and the main number for AP reporters in the House of Representatives press gallery, according to attorneys for the AP. It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of calls.
In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters.
In a letter of protest sent to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, AP President and Chief Executive Officer Gary Pruitt said the government sought and obtained information far beyond anything that could be justified by any specific investigation. He demanded the return of the phone records and destruction of all copies.
"There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know," Pruitt said.
Soon afterward, it was reported that obtaining these phone records had required approval from Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General.
This has had a very dangerous and harmful effect on the media's ability to report the news. In June 2013, Gary Pruitt, the president and chief executive of Associated Press said:
"Some longtime trusted sources have become nervous and anxious about talking with us… In some cases, government employees we once checked in with regularly will no longer speak to us by phone. Others are reluctant to meet in person … This chilling effect on newsgathering is not just limited to AP… Journalists from other news organizations have personally told me that it has intimidated both official and nonofficial sources from speaking to them as well."
Used Obamacare to illegally give the IRS additional powers without approval from Congress
In May 2013 the Washington Post wrote:
The law allows the Department of Health and Human Services to set up federal health exchanges in the holdout states. But the statute makes no mention of the IRS providing credits and subsidies through federal exchanges.
The IRS resolved this conundrum by denying its existence. In a May 2012 regulatory ruling, it asserted its own right to provide credits outside the state exchanges as the reasonable interpretation of an ambiguous law. But the language of the law is not ambiguous. And health scholars Jonathan Adler and Michael Cannon, in an exhaustive recent analysis, find no justification for the IRS's ruling in the legislative history of Obamacare. "The statute," they argue, "and the lack of any support for the IRS rule in the legislative record put defenders of the IRS rule in the awkward position of arguing that it was so obviously Congress' intent to offer tax credits in federal exchanges that despite a year of debate over the PPACA, it never occurred to anyone to express that intent out loud. A better explanation is that the PPACA's authors miscalculated when they assumed states would establish exchanges."
So: The IRS seized the authority to spend about $800 billion over 10 years on benefits that were not authorized by Congress. And the current IRS scandal puts this decision in a new light. What was the role of politics in shaping this regulatory decision? What pressure was applied?
Illegally bypassed Congress to delay Obamacare's employer mandate
As the Obamacare law was written, the employer mandate was to begin in January 2014. This is what the law said when it was passed by the House and Senate, and signed by President Obama.
However, in July 2013, Obama delayed the employer mandate part of Obamacare until January 2015. Obama did this without approval from Congress.
For Obama to change a law that was passed by Congress, without first getting approval from Congress, is a violation of the Presidential oath that Obama took to uphold and defend the Constitution.
What Obama did here is an action of a dictator, not an action of a President whose power is limited by a written constitution.
If Obama can get away with this, then it sets a horribly dangerous precedent, and means that the President can arbitrarily make any change to any law that has been passed by Congress, without first getting approval from Congress.
Said, "We're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends"
Obama said (the bolding is mine)
"If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us' — if they don't see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it's going to be harder. And that's why I think it's so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd."
This is a rare instance of a promise that Obama has actually kept instead of broken. A huge number of the things on this list can be explained by that one simple sentence that Obama said.
Well America, guess who Obama's enemies are? That's right, anyone who is against Obama's policies is considered to be a enemy, we are all being punished now. There is not end in sight. Obama and his administration seem to be above the law. They have no rules.

November 1, 2013, 8:42 pmHow to Spot an Obot Troll
How to Spot an Obot Troll
I don't know exactly when it started but something has changed at this website (Before It's News). The site appears to be flooded with trolls spouting disinformation on the comment section of many, many stories. These comments have a number of things in common including the fact that they are of little or no value to anyone and rarely even discuss the merits, facts or premise of any story. One cannot be sure how many of them are paid by Unions or Obama's "Organizing for America" but its a sure bet that some certainly are on someones payroll. So how do you spot a disinformation agent, Obama troll or "Obot" (the common term for these types of commentors)? I will now answer that in three ways; Two posts by a concerned user at Before It's News and an analysis of a story with the archetypal Obot troll:
First all what is an internet troll? A commentor named "last gasp" answered this very well
"The purpose of a troll is not to intelligently discuss various issues but to minimize the importance of dissenting opinions by ridiculing serious participants expressing political views the troll finds objectionable."
This commentor has another post where he tells you how to spot an Internet troll:
Criteria for helping to identify a professional troll:
1) The person's posts are usually short and snarky, with reasonably correct spelling, grammar and punctuation, suggesting both intelligence and education.
2) The posts are on the edge of acceptability, with little or no profanity or vulgar language that would get the post flagged immediately.
3) The person has a high ratio of posts to the number of days on the site, suggesting he's posting comments nearly full time and is getting paid to troll.
4) The person's posts are consistently belittling, rather than intelligent objections and points
Now Let's meet a perfect example of an Internet troll!
Analyze this story and you will find a new name to me called "doggy do" and his posts do live up to his name. Here are five of his more intelligent posts. These comments were all done in this story: /alternative/2013/06/u-n-agenda-21-to-seize-17-8-million-acres-from-missouri-and-arkansas-please-help-stop-this-land-grab-2678204.html?utm_medium=facebook-share&utm_content=awesm-publisher&utm_campaign=&utm_source=direct-b4in.info&utm_term=http%3A%2F%2Fb4in.info%2Fi7VX
While the story headeline is Alternative news it does indeed refer to real UN documents and a real Obama plan that challenges property rights. But rather than discuss or even disagreeing with the thesis of this story this brilliant troll has the below comments. In true Saul Alinksy fashion he manages to do it all in this small sampling of 5 of his 35 plus comments on this story. He attacks the author, other commentors, refuses to mention or discuss facts, race baits and plies what is sometimes unintelligable dribble. He or she does absolutely everthing excepts discuss the story!
"Ah so, you finally reveal yourself. Just about all you people are basically n-haters at heart, aren't you? Best one is a dead one, that it? Come on, we can take it! Take off the white sheet and make your appearance…"
"Still waiting for the answer on when this will take place, and where. I want to be there to see convoys of UN troops from Uganda or somewhere trundling unnoticed across the U.S."
"Exactly what time of the day, and what day will this take place? I will love to see your answer. I just love the heck reading all these conspiracy theories/comedy presentations presented as fact. You people are afraid of your own footprints. you probably think some invisivible person from Venus is following you. That has to be the ONLY explanation behind those footprints that are following you.
In fact, I think that's the basis of a great column: Venutians are following all of us, invisibly. The evidence? Strange, unexplained impressions in the ground that continue to follow me everywhere. Either that, or it's invisible Bigfoot."
"And, in keeping with the above, I think you should don your super suit, stare into the sun, then jump off a tall building. I guarantee it will be but a single bound…."
"I just found a note from the Pine Squirrel King:
Earth is in the way of an intergalactic freeway, and is scheduled to be removed in 15 minutes….so that is why they, along with Bigfoot, left. So long, and thanks for all the suet cake…..
Signed, Horace the Nut"
What to do about Obot Internet Trolls?
Internet trolls are normally paid disinformation agents and their main goal is to distract you from the story at hand.
The more they attack a story or "work it" the more important it must be. Be sure and call the troll out and then focus on the story.
