History 101...The Royal Japanese Dec 7,1941 made a big mistake...they chose to 'Bomb' Pearl Harbor...yes we were a sleepy peaceful Nation...but we got the proverbial wake-up call on a sunny  Sunday Morning of Dec 7,1941

You may have the fraud President Barack Hussein Soetero Obama of the United States of America in your back pocket...but don't count your chickens before they hatch....you by no means have the American People anywhere near your back-pocket...you only have the progressive Liberal Left cowards bending to your demands...as the Royal Japanese Admiral said Dec 7,1941...'I am afraid we have woken the sleeping Giant'

If you think you can intimidate us with threats you are sorely mistaken...you are basing this hypothesis on the Liberal Left Progressives who fear you...'Middle America' does not fear you and we will take you down!
We will remove our fraudulent POTUS and move forward with Israel to give you the wake-up call you deserve...You lost to the First Crusades...and you will lose most surely with the second!

Just to bring you up to speed ...The US Military made their last full scale Bayonet charge in Viet Nam 1965
However they are still being trained in this art of removing the enemy and freeing territory...something you have not experienced yet..!

Enjoy the clip...and think hard before you continue down the road of Jihad ...'Fix Bayonets' is closer than you think!

About that big NATO success in Bosnia ...




About that big NATO success in Bosnia ...
Christians now fleeing Islam, organized crime, radical groups

Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated
"Foxe's Book of Martyrs."
Bosnia's embattled Christians are leaving the country, and their exodus is being blamed on the Muslim majority and the increasing influence of Islamic law.

BosNewsLife reports Christians are fleeing to escape discrimination and the Islamization of their home country.

Atlas Shrugs publisher and Islam analyst Pamela Geller says the problem is simple: Bosnia is rapidly becoming an Islamic state.

"What is going on there is the creation of a Shariah state and a base for the jihadists in Europe," Geller said.

"Persecution of Christians is escalating, and the Islamic supremacists are crowding out the cultural Muslims," Geller said. "Sarajevo used to be one of the most diverse cities in Europe. Now it's almost entirely Muslim."

The Heritage Foundation's Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies Analyst Steve Bucci says he's not so sure the reports of widespread persecution are accurate.

"The Bosnians were nominal Muslims, but some foreign Islamists settled there. Even so, the Bosnian government did a good job of corralling them," Bucci said.

Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated "Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

"They weren't invited into the fight. When I was on the ground over there in 2000-2001, there were no jihadists in power," Bucci said. "If this has happened, it's only been in the last two to three years."

But Adriatic Institute for Public Policy Co-Founder Joel Anand Samy says "not so."

He believes the threat the anti-Christian climate has been developing for years.

"There is a prevailing tide of discrimination toward Bosnian Croatian Catholics. Most disconcerting is that individuals' properties have not been returned – specifically those belonging to Bosnian Catholics," Samy said.

Yet, the situation is deeper than just surface-level prejudices. Samy says a disregard for religious freedom is only the first of many issues.

"Discarding individual liberty, undermining freedom of speech and subverting religious liberty are serious issues which must be addressed from within and also through principled external pressures," Samy said.

Samy said the underlying issues are corruption and even human trafficking.

"There are also underlying problems including rampant corruption, the perilous Balkan Route trafficking humans (mainly children and women), illicit drugs and weapons," Samy said.

He said there are the serious concerns about the rise of radical Islam in Bosnia.

"Moreover, entities and corrupt politicians and their cronies within Bosnia Herzegovina are actively blocking reforms in the country through their illicit enrichment gained from confiscating private properties and channeling proceeds through the West's financial institutions in the region," he said.

Samy also pointed to corruption in the financial sector.

Read about Christian martyrs through history, in the updated "Foxe's Book of Martyrs.

"Organized crime and radical Islamic groups ...  flourish in Bosnia and the Balkan region."

He cited Austria's Hypo Alpe Adria Bank scandal, in which more than 8 billion euros are unaccounted for in the Balkan region, as an example.

Austrian taxpayers have been forced to pick up the tab.

Samy noted the scandal has not been fully investigated by authorities in Europe.

"Herein, lies the greater challenge of Western financial institutions," Samy said. "It is vital for the authorities in Sarajevo and Banja Luka to establish the rule of law, protect private property, [restore] confiscated property and firmly support human rights - individual liberty."

He pointed out that 17 years after the signing of the Dayton Peace accords, "citizens of Bosnia-Herzegovina live in a divided nation which does not have an independent judiciary and lacks dependable democratic institutions."

The economy is still in shambles, with high unemployment, especially among the youth.

He suggested the backlogged cases in the court system "can be easily resolved through visiting judges from strong rule-of-law nations working with honest local judicial experts focusing on property rights cases."

He said the country's condition shouldn't be a surprise, as Catholic and European authorities have been making the issues known.

Cardinal Vinko Puljic, for example, has communicated to Herman Achille Van Rompuy, president of the European Council, that the Catholic Church's properties in Bosnia were confiscated under communism.

"Even after the recent Balkan war, the lands and properties have not been returned," Samy said.

The West has known about these issues, Samy said, but "there is a void of principled leadership to address this growing problems."

He asserted the West "can no longer ignore these fundamental issues which marginalize one group and relegate them to poverty due to employment discrimination and not returning their private properties."

Geller said that while the U. S. nobly has attempted to help the Bosnians, its military intervention set the stage for Muslim advancement.

"We certainly made things worse for the Christians. Clinton didn't understand Islam or jihad any more than mainstream politicians do now," Geller said.

Bucci disagrees and says the Bosnians and others were helped greatly by the U. S. intervention.

"There's been no widespread raping and pillaging for 20 years," Bucci said. "The kids are in school and the battling factions were actually separated."

"We put people in three zones. The Serbs were in the north; the Croats in the south. The Bosnians were in the center," Bucci said.

He said the Catholic Christians were in the best shape when the U. S. ended its campaign.

"The Catholic area was by far the most prosperous. I'm not aware of any outright persecution. That would be surprising," Bucci said.

Yet, Samy said the persecution is happening, and he believes the flow of Catholics from the region will continue.

"The factors I've listed will lead to a further exodus of Bosnian Croat Catholics from their homeland," Samy said.

"For a region which experienced brutal ethnic extermination and now [is] experiencing economic turmoil and significant judicial problems, the targeted discrimination faced by Bosnia's Catholics amounts to a return to a sophisticated form of cleansing – removing a people from their place of birth for their faith and ethnic identity," he said.

Click Here To Learn The Shocking Self Defense Secret That Has THOUSANDS Of Liberal Activists Up In Arms, Screaming And Begging To Get It Banned...



(The Secrets Of Self Defense As Seen On NBC)

Have you ever had that nighttime dream of fighting back against an unstoppable attacker?

Where no matter how hard you hit, punch, or retaliate, you just cannot seem to escape or beat back the nightmare?

Yeah, well...

Unfortunately, in real life it's 1000x worse than that.

In fact, according to the National Center for Victims and Crime, an assault occurs every seven seconds and a violent crime every six seconds in the U.S.

And if you do happen to be carrying a gun?

Hard FBI statistics show that thanks to your body's natural reaction to fear, unless you are an elite soldier or SWAT cop, you have a laughable 4% chance of actually hitting your attacker.

Scared yet? You should be.

In fact, you should be downright terrified.

But don't worry, its not your fault.

Since the 1970's the bleeding-heart liberals in Washington have let this all happen.

They've let illegal alien gangs freely control big cities like LA, Chicago and New York and now they’re spilling out and bringing drugs and violence into our neighborhoods...

They've basically invited international terrorists over here on student and work visas with absolutely no background checks.

And have been hell-bent on passing laws that legally empower dangerous criminals; including reduced sentences, minimal jail time, and easy parole.

While at the same time, literally castrating law-abiding citizens like you and me whenever we attempt to defend ourselves, our home, and our family.

But now its OUR turn to fight back...

Since World War II, there has been a secret, easy to use, easy to remember, and unbeatable method of personal protection called "Close Combat Training".

What makes it so effective is its primary use of gross-motor (large muscle-group) movements to deliver "one-strike" knockouts, bone-breaks, or even barehanded kills against any size attacker.

Even more impressive, is that this can be all accomplished regardless of your age, strength, or physical abilities.

Needless to say, this information has thousands of martial artists, liberal activists, and government officials up in arms, screaming and begging to get it banned because of the incredible power it can give you.

Two Different Reports Of Three Glowing UFOs Over Pennsylvania

 "Beam me up Scotty"

by Scott C. Waring, author, UFO Sightings Daily
Date of sighting: November 16, 2012
Location of sighting: Apollo, Pennsylvania, USA
Time: 5 PM
Eyewitness states: ”Picture taken by Cindee McDermott and seen by Mayor Karen Kenzevich. Both saw it at the same time from different locations in Apollo. Others on Apollo also saw them. They took better pictures…I will send these to you also…With their statements… My neighbor Rose took them from work. Then another gentlemen took them from another area close to Apollo. Spring Church…Im on facebook and of course I have some in denial.”


Above is three close-ups with added contrasts from photos below.




 Above is three close-ups with added contrasts from photos below.





“Cynthia McDermott, Borough Secretary and I Cynthia Virostek, Borough Councilwoman and Karen Kenzevich, Apollo Borough Mayor, were  on our way to a Borough Council meeting noticed this unusual formation. We never saw jets fly that close to each other, never in 3′s and there was no noise and was not moving very fast. The only thing we had was this cell phone picture. It was truely an amazing site to see.”
(6 photos above, many from her friends around Apollo)
  Sightings Daily about this sighting and then a second report about the same sighting by a different person was also made at MUFON. Also note that the most common time to catch UFOs in the sky is during sunset, because the suns rays are bent at a right angle to the UFOs, the UFOs cloak is only capable of bending light 180 degrees around itself, any more and it becomes slightly visible from 30 second to 15 minutes. On Google Map, the city of Apollo is 14.5 miles away from the city of Sheloca.

Date of 2nd sighting: November 16, 2012
Location of 2nd sighting: Shelocta, Pennsylvania, USA (photos below)
Second Eyewitness states: (MUFON)
“I was driving from Johnstown PA to Pittsburgh PA at about 4:50 pm on Nov. 16th, 2012. I was traveling West on interstate 422 when I witnessed a glowing ball to my left moving in the same direction as me. In front of me a few miles was another glowing ball. These two balls converged and were joined by a third (I did not see where the 3rd one came from, I hadnt pulled over yet). They stayed in a triangular formation and hovered a few miles in front of me for a solid 6 – 10 minutes during which time I pulled over and got some pictures. I attempted to take video, but the shapes were not showing up on my viewfinder. I was however able to get some still photos. While the objects were hovering, flame or light was coming out of the bottoms making them resemble jellyfish. Anytime they moved, they were simply round. Anytime they stopped, they had something coming out of the bottom again. After 10 minutes or so, they faded from site. I continued down the road a ways, and found that they likely had been hovering over a power plant (I think it was nuclear — it had that type of cooling towers). A few minutes later (maybe 15 minutes from when I initially saw the objects) several military jet planes (4-6? I was driving and by now it was getting dark.) came from the West heading towards where I had seen the objects by the plant. I have military experience and have seen flares, various planes, drones copters, etc. and these objects were not like anything I had ever seen. They initially moved independently, then joined up and hovered in formation. They did not leave those trails in the sky like a passenger jet or the military jets that came after the fact. When they faded, there was no trails or anything left. There were several of us that pulled over and took pictures, but I do not know any of those people.”

The Allen West Recount Continues (an On The Ground Report)

By  

Allen West The Allen West recount continues (an on the ground report)
A judge mumbled his way through his no-go decision, a county attorney admitted that the canvassing board violated Florida’s sunshine laws, and the RPOF remained in transit from Tallahassee; but Colonel Allen West is still ALL IN.  Election Supervisor Gertrude Walker went to the hospital as a 2-1 decision near midnight on Friday by the canvassing board determined a re-tabulation of ALL early votes  has begun at 9 a.m. this morning.
Going in “for tests,” Walker may not be able to show up or have another presser to answer bourgeoning questions of what she knew and when she knew it about alleged discrepancies that could prevent Colonel West from meeting the automatic trigger of .5% for an automatic recount of ALL votes!

All week long, ordinary Florida citizens gathered in front of her office.  A young man shouting into a white bullhorn led marching in military cadence to “What Do We Want?”  “Recount now,” they shouted back.
“Beaver” from Ft. Lauderdale told me their flags are being flown upside down – an international maritime distress symbol.  “If a ship was in distress, her flag was flown upside down. . .this country is in distress,” he added.
“When does 100% become 140%. . .how does that work?” one protestor asked.  Another woman told me she turned over to the West team evidence of “stick ‘em notes (allegedly) pasted on ballots in a town south of here that said ‘Ignore Allen West!’”  Rumors abound; and with Walker out of commission, we can’t verify whether or not Nancy Pelosi called her (allegedly) to say, “Don’t Let Them Win!”

A beautiful, tall black poodle named Jessie marched with her owner who told me “We’re sending out a message to the country from Palm Beach Gardens.”
Now The Blaze.com is reporting on the supervisor’s overt black activism. “Gertrude Walker was among very few public officials to voice support for fellow black Miriam Oliphant, a disgraced Broward County Supervisor of Elections fired for incompetence.”
The League of Women Voters, Head Start, and a Dr. Martin Luther King Committee have had Walker’s backing.  In office since 1980, she reportedly collects a DROP (deferred retirement option plan) that with her salary could add up to a $17,000/month take-home salary paid for gratis local taxpayers.  Her $110,000 salary continues because she was re-elected unopposed.  She denied having a conflict of interest; even though she appeared on a ballot, she now is supervising a re-count because of its challenged votes!  (Note: The additional DROP income may or may not be exact, but getting reality out of what is going on is a challenge.)

Trembling St. Lucie County Attorney Dan McIntyre looked bad when he told me “The public hearing was not advertised. . .Improper notice. . .no 24 hour notice (was given)” when the Board met to decide on the earlier re- count.  His hands shook as he read case law to the judge.  “Now we are getting sued by both sides.”
An urgent midnight call by a St. Lucie County GOP commenter called for volunteers to show up  9 a.m. for the new recount of ALL early votes at the Orange Blossom Mall on Okeechobee Rd,-Rt. 70 east off of I 95.  Listen for the roars of the marchers.  Call Brittany (970-379-2919) or Nina (772-834-2332), says this post.  A new tabulation of all eight early voting days starts now unless Patrick Murphy’s lawyers can block it!


Iranian CIA Spy On Obama’s Secret Nuke Deal With Iran

By  


In this full half-hour interview with former CIA asset Reza Kahlili, who had infiltrated the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a spy for the covert agency and still maintains contacts within the heart of the regime, Kahlili reveals that the Obama administration has sent representatives – possibly led by the enigmatic Presidential adviser Valerie Jarret – to meet with their Iranian counterparts in Doha Qatar to hammer out a secret deal.
Initially thought to be an October Surprise before the election, an official announcement of the deal has not yet been made. The Obama administration has denied reports of any negotiations, but the New York Times reports that officials in the administration have indeed confirmed the talks.
Kahlili also talks about the theoretically driven Islamic Republic of Iran, and how the particular belief system of the Iranian mullahs guides their foreign policy. The IRGC recently released a state-sponsored video called “The Coming Is Upon Us”, in which the Shia 12er belief that the Imam Mahdi is about to return is propagated; and that to hasten his appearance, blood and chaos must reign over the Earth.

An electromagnetic pulse could send much of the North American continent back to the 1800′s in seconds, and Kahlili says that the Iranians already possess the warheads and delivery systems to attack the US either preemptively or in response to an Israeli and/or US attack on their nuclear facilities. Estimates from the Congressional EMP Commission calculate that anywhere from two-thirds to ninety percent of the population of the US could die within a year of such an attack.

To secede or not...It's up to Congress/Senate..!

  We will NOT obey any order to disarm the American people.
The attempt to disarm the people on April 19, 1775 was the spark of open conflict in the American Revolution. That vile attempt was an act of war, and the American people fought back in justified, righteous self-defense of their natural rights. Any such order today would also be an act of war against the American people, and thus an act of treason. We will not make war on our own people, and we will not commit treason by obeying any such treasonous order.
Nor will we assist, or support any such attempt to disarm the people by other government entities, either state or federal.

 'Oath Keepers'

"You might have heard stories this past week about states that are petitioning the President for permission to secede from The Union.  The Union, being The United States of America.  But this actually is just sloppy reporting by the main stream media.
First of all, what are being filed are petitions on the White House’s website by groups of citizens.  In order for the President to review them, or do whatever it is he does with them, they have to get a certain number of signatories.  These are not, I repeat, NOT, petitions by the actual States themselves.  Anyone reporting otherwise is simply wrong.
Second of all, States do not need to petition the federal government, much less the messiah, to secede.  They simply say, “We’re seceding.”  Then they secede." (J.J. Jackson CFP)

In reality what these petitions are intended to do is put the United States Congress/Senate on notice that 'We the People' are fed up with their lack of action to Impeach the fraudulent,corrupt 'Liar in Chief'  The numbers are growing and nearing 1 million combined with 50 states...This puts Congress on notice that if the Obama administration is allowed to continue... it is possible that states will actually mobilize into a real secession movement..!

'The Constitution spells out the powers of our federal government.  It also clearly states that, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”  In the 10th amendment.

So, look through the Constitution and see if you can find any mention of the federal government having the power to keep States from leaving the Union.  No?  Well, that means the power is reserved by the States.  Not even Obama, sitting upon his throne in the White House, has anything to say about it.

PATRICK MURPHY ATTEMPTS TO SUPPRESS VOTE IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Murphy Attempts to Suppress the Vote in Allen West Retabulation

by allenwestrepublic
PATRICK MURPHY ATTEMPTS TO SUPPRESS VOTE IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY
Stuart, FL - West for Congress campaign manager Tim Edson released the following statement regarding Patrick Murphy's lawyers' attempt to get the 19th Circuit Court Judge to disallow the retabulation of early votes agreed to by the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board:
"In a last-ditch effort to suppress the vote, Murphy's lawyers submitted sloppy and incomplete papers to the Court this morning to try to strong-arm the judge into preventing today's retabulation already underway. The Murphy team's motion is procedurally and substantively lacking. With every action attempted, Murphy demonstrates a complete lack of respect and utter disregard for the voters of St. Lucie County.
Murphy's efforts bring to mind the dark times in our nation's history when politicians tried to manipulate the law to suppress the votes, and we are appalled by Murphy's apparent contempt for the voting rights of citizens to have their ballots accurately and fairly tabulated.
Murphy knows there are votes that have not been counted, but he's taking legal action to ensure the results are certified anyway. Perhaps the Justice Department should investigate Murphy's attempt to steal himself a seat in Congress at the expense of the voters in St. Lucie County."

Mark Levin: Tea Party Only Thing That Stands 'Between Liberty And Tyranny'




Conservative scholar, talk radio host, and former Reagan administration official Mark Levin said conservatives need to first overthrow the Republican establishment to more successfully take on President Barack Obama and the institutional left.

“We cannot get through Obama and the left until we get through the Republican Establishment,” Levin said, railing against establishment consultants who attack the base and politicians who know nothing of “Burkean reform” because they have spent their whole careers “clawing their way to the top.”
In a talk at the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday with his mentor, former Reagan Attorney General Ed Meese, for whom Levin served as Chief of Staff, Levin said the Republican Party is, “devouring the conservative movement,” and the old bulls need to step aside in favor of a new generation of conservatives who are fluent in conservatism.
“It’s time for the old bulls to get out of the way and for the fresh faces who believe in conservatism and liberty and originalist principles to step up,” Levin said, criticizing those like House Speaker John Boehner for “yielding territory” to the left in negotiations.

Levin said the Tea Party consists of constitutionalists, libertarians, Evangelicals, and those who are against the rigged establishment, beltway culture that for too long has not embraced conservatism and, as a consequence, lost national elections (George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney).

“The Tea Party is the only thing that stands between liberty and tyranny,” Levin said. “We have to defeat the Republican establishment mush in Washington, D.C.”

Levin also named the establishment media organizations and institutions on the right that he said were not helping advance the conservative cause.

He said, “in a lot of our media outlets,” there are “a lot of old, dreary people who are just around all the time” who “reject” Reaganism.

Levin named Bill Kristol at the Weekly Standard, who recently called for more tax increases; and the National Review, the Washington establishment publication that vigorously supported Mitt Romney in the primaries, Levin said, in many ways, has “become a mouthpiece for the Republican party.”

Levin said the Republican Party will go the way of the Whig Party if they do not put out more “cutting-edge intellectuals and artistic” spokespeople for the conservative cause that transcends race or class.


Shortly after President Barack Obama was elected in 2008, Levin wrote Liberty and Tyranny, which sold over a million copies despite not being reviewed and being completely ignored by mainstream media outlets and programs.

The prescient book not only clearly articulated what would eventually turn out to be the Tea Party’s opposition to Obama’s statism (Levin knew what Obama was going to do before even Obama) but was also symbolic of how, in the new media age, books and ideas could commercially succeed without the legacy media institutions of yesterday that no longer act as gatekeepers.

To appeal to young people and minorities with conservatism, Levin said Republicans needed to call on parents and grandparents to have an impact on young people and appeal to their sense of liberty and anti-authoritarianism. 
He said this “bottom up federalism” can appeal not only to young people but to minorities.

Levin noted that capitalism is the plan and the strategy is the constitution, and that was the foundation of Reaganism.
He said after Reagan, George H.W. Bush lurched to the left rather than “build up Reaganism” and the party and the conservative movement has not been the same since.
Levin also said ethnic front groups who want more balkanization instead of assimilation are also threats and need to be called out. 

In talking about Republican institutions, Levin said the Republican National Committee needs to be managed better because, simply put, “when you lose, you gotta bring some other people here.”

“Backbenchers need to go to the front,” Levin said, noting that the frontbencher establishment class has been trying to “clean out” conservatives who do not toe the moderate, establishment line.

Levin said Obama would inevitably overreach on many fronts during his second term. For instance, Levin predicted Obama would try to break down America’s sovereignty by working with the United Nations on a global tax and committing America to more international military arrangements. 


“The people are going to rise up,” Levin said.

When discussing the future of conservatism, Levin highlighted in particular Texas Senator-elect Ted Cruz and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, among others.

“I love Sarah Palin,” Levin said.

“You see how intelligent she is?,” Levin asked, noting that Palin is nothing like the caricature of her on the left and in the mainstream media. 
Levin said Palin should be given credit for effectively and enthusiastically articulating the conservative cause, even though she has been attacked by the mainstream media and the Republican establishment.

"Yet, she still rallies the base a hundred times more than these people telling us what we are supposed to do,” Levin said.

Republicans are too conservative...?

MRC Action Email
From the Desk of:
L. Brent Bozell III, Founder and President
Media Research Center
November 16th, 2012
Dear Patriot,
Following the re-election of Barack Obama, the liberal media are shamelessly using his win over moderate Mitt Romney to scare the GOP away from re-embracing its winning conservative message.
As documented by the Media Research Center, the corrupt media are seizing on Obama's victory to discredit and attack conservatives, the Tea Party, and Rush Limbaugh in a blatant attempt to splinter the Republican Party and its conservative base:
* ABC's Barbara Walters assailed the GOP for being "behind" on social issues.
* The Washington Post went on a mission to look for right-wingers who plan to buy more guns as a result of the Obama Presidency.
* The New York Times called the GOP a dwindling collection of "angry," "grumpy old white men."
* The new cover of Newsweek depicts Obama as Napoleon while calling the GOP "Old," "White," "History."
* CNN ‘s Anderson Cooper rhetorically questioned how the GOP will overcome party "extremes" to attract Latinos while his cohort Piers Morgan trashed the Tea party and the "extreme right" for being "intransigent" and pushing "archaic politics."
* On election night, NBC's Brian Williams opined that Rush Limbaugh was a liability for the GOP.
* On MSNBC's Morning Joe, David Frum claimed Republicans were "fleeced, exploited and lied to" by the "Conservative Entertainment Complex." Joe Scarborough agreed, stating that the GOP needs to stop listening to the "most extreme people" in the party.
* On Sunday's edition of NBC's Meet the Press, the all-liberal panel agreed: the loss was due to Limbaugh and the "loons and wackos" of the conservative base.
In response, I released the following public statement:
"We hear this from the liberal media every single time the Republicans don't win something. They have only one solution for the Republican Party: don't be conservative. It's never about the failures of the candidates or a poor voter turnout effort. It's that Republicans are too conservative – a false conclusion that ignores the successful campaigns of conservatives Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush.
"The liberal media discourage candidates from being conservative because it helps their preferred liberal candidates. Mitt Romney didn't embrace the conservative base and he lost, just like Bob Dole and liberal media sweetheart John McCain. The liberal media's rush to scare the GOP away from conservatism is a deliberate attempt to divide the party. They don't want Republicans to embrace conservative principals because conservative Republicans win."
Sincerely,
lbb

Now White House petition seeks Obama's birth certificate

 by Bob Unruh 
120929obamaangryz 
When the White House set up a system to allow American citizens to petition for grievances on the official website, officials probably didn’t expect to see citizens in all 50 states seeking secession.
Nor did they likely imagine it would be a place that would become a forum for those questioning Barack Obama’s eligibility for office and seeking his college and university records.
But a new petition on the government website does exactly that, asking for Obama records from Hawaii, Occidental and Harvard.
The title of the just-launched petition is, “Require Barack Obama To Allow The Public Examination Of His Birth Certificate Records & His College & University Records.”

Specifically, it states: “We The People request the Obama administration to require Barack H. Obama to authorize the public examination of his birth certificate records together his college and university records. We have all seen the document produced by The White House which has been declared suspect by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, but The People request that Barack Obama authorize the State of Hawaii to release all related information concerning his birth in the State. We also request that Barack Obama authorize Occidental College and Harvard University release all records they hold in connection with The President. The People will willingly pay a reasonable fee for each page or document copied and provided by either entity in accordance with their standard fee schedule.”
The issue, of course, has been in the headlines since before Obama’s first election in 2008, when it was reveal there were unanswered questions, and logical suspicions, about Obama’s eligibility even to be president under the Constitution’s requirement that the president be a “natural born citizen.”
At the time the nation was founded, that likely was understood to mean the offspring of two citizen parents and likely born in the United States. If eligibility is subject to being the offspring of two citizen parents, Obama is unqualified as his father was a visiting foreign national to attended school in the U.S.

The dispute continues to rage over his birth location, with the latest development in the case an accusation from a Cold Case Posse investigator from Arizona that Hawaii officials are covering up for Obama.
Learn more about the birth certificate issue, and express your opinion, at the WND Superstore.
The suggestion was contained in a sworn affidavit from Cold Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo just a week after the publication of a sworn mathematical analysis demonstrating the near-zero probability that the White House “birth certificate” is genuine.
Also, a math professor from Louisiana State University, Charles Delzell, has confirmed and endorsed the mathematical conclusions in yet another sworn statement.
Zullo, a seasoned sleuth who heads the team deputized by Joe Arpaio, recently re-elected sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., fingers Hawaii’s governor, deputy attorney general and health department chiefs as obstructing justice.


Zullo’s affidavit charges these officials are “hiding” original birth records, thwarting the posse’s hunt for those who forged the document at the White House website.
The department, Zullo reported, “has engaged in what the sheriff’s investigators believe is a systematic effort to hide from law enforcement and the public whatever original 1961 birth records the Hawaii Department of Health may have in its possession.”
And he charged that Hawaii officials “changed their policies and procedures in a manner calculated to hinder our law-enforcement investigation.”

In addition to simply refusing to discuss the issue or respond to questions, state officials also have issued contradictory statements. And state lawmakers went so far as to exempt employees from answering questions about the issue.
Zullo’s investigation documents how in 1961, state law allowed Hawaiian parents of children born anywhere in the world to register them as Hawaiian-born, a legalized backdoor to U.S. citizenship. Article II of the U.S. Constitution insists that only a “natural-born citizen” can serve as president.
Zullo’s posse already has reported to the sheriff that two crimes have been committed: first, fraudulently creating a forgery that the White House had characterized, knowingly or unknowingly, as an officially produced governmental birth record; and secondly, fraudulently presenting to the residents of Maricopa County and to the American public at large a forgery that the White House had represented as “proof positive” of Obama’s authentic 1961 Hawaiian long-form birth certificate.
Zullo concludes that the whole question could be settled quickly and decisively if Hawaii would let his forensic specialists examine Obama’s original birth certificate and hospital birth record.
In Zullo’s 16-page statement, he notes that 250 residents of the state asked the sheriff to investigate possible illegalities. But he said virtually all of the pertinent records about Obama have been ordered sealed and Obama’s attorneys have refused access to documents that typically are available regarding presidents.

He notes, among many other issues, why did a biography written by Obama for 17 years boast that he was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii?
Other questions:
  • Why have Hawaii officials been unable to get their story straight on the issue
  • Why do officials refuse to answer his questions about Obama’s records?
  • Why has no doctor or nurse ever come forward to talk about the birth?
  • Why was Obama’s first executive order as president instructions to seal his own records from the public?
  • Why are his birth records, baptismal records, adoption records, kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia University thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passports, medical records, files as an Illinois state senator and his Illinois state bar association records all concealed?
  • Why was Hawaii’s governor unable to keep his word when he said he would find Obama’s records and confirm his status?
  • Why are the National Archives records for immigration from 1961 – during the three days around Obama’s birth – missing?
  • Why has nothing been done regarding the law enforcement conclusions that “President Obama’s long-form birth certificate is a computer-generated document; that it was manufactured piecemeal and electronically; and that it did not originate as a copy of a true paper record from a bound volume…”
  • What is the significance of the fact that Obama’s birth record number is out of sequence? 
The government petition website suddenly became a news item because residents in all 50 states are petitioning there for permission for their states to leave the union.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia has said there is no such right. But historians would note that Thomas Jefferson said states “should separate from our companions only when the sole alternatives left, are the dissolution of our Union with them, or submission to a government without limitation of powers.”
His letter, posted online at Constitution.org, sheds light on the arguments raised on the Obama administration’s online petition site, where dozens of petitions are seeking permission for virtually all of the states to leave the union.
Jefferson wrote about the expansion of power then by the federal government “towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that too, by constructions which, if legitimate, leave no limits to their power.”
He continued: “Take together the decisions of the federal court, the doctrines of the president, and the misconstructions of the constitutional Compact acted on by the legislature of the federal branch, and it is but too evident, that the three ruling branches of that department are in combination to strip their colleagues, the State authorities; of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise themselves all functions foreign and domestic.”
He targeted the same authority that Obama has cited in his promotion of Obamacare: “Under the power to regulate commerce, they assume indefinitely that also over agriculture and manufactures, and call it regulation to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, and that, too, the most depressed, and put them into the pockets of the other, the most flourishing of all.

“Under the authority to establish post roads, they claim that of cutting down mountains for the construction of roads, of digging canals, and aided by a little sophistry on the words ‘general welfare,’ a right to do, not only the acts to effect that, which are specifically enumerated and permitted, but whatsoever they shall think, or pretend will be for the general welfare. And what is our resource for the preservation of the Constitution?”
Political debate at that point, reasoned Jefferson, was futile.
“Reason and argument? You might as well reason and argue with the marble columns encircling them. The representatives chosen by ourselves? They are joined in the combination, some from incorrect views of government, some from corrupt ones, sufficient voting together to outnumber the sound parts; and with majorities only of one, two, or three, bold enough to go forward in defiance. ”
And he continued: “[We must] keep ourselves in a situation to profit by the chapter of accidents; and separate from our companions only when the sole alternatives left, are the dissolution of our Union with them, or submission to a government without limitation of powers. Between these two evils, when we must make a choice, there can be no hesitation.”

#Navy Navy names latest ship in the fleet - USS Barack Obama

ROFL...this about sums up the Military feelings for the 'Liar in Chief'  a picture is worth 1000 words!

Fiscal cliff: GOP ready to discuss terms of surrender

David Harsanyi 
Fiscal cliff: GOP ready to discuss terms of surrender
You’ll remember that President Barack Obama was the only candidate with a detailed plan to deal with the impending fiscal unpleasantness. And, as the president explained this week during his first press conference since winning re-election, “more voters agreed” with him, so naturally, it’s time to give the people what they want.
So what do we win? Well, turns out there’s only one detail worth remembering when dealing with the slew of tax hikes that kick in next year: We must reverse Bush-era tax rates on the rich. According to rosy projections of the Congressional Budget Office, this would amount to around $824 billion in revenue over the next decade, or less than one year of deficit spending by the administration. Democrats also support a millionaire “Buffett” tax, which could raise — maybe — $47 billion over the next decade, or less than $5 billion a year, or around half a workday of the federal government’s budget.
In other words, we get the genuinely unserious government we deserve.
Republicans have already conceded huge swaths of their argument to the president. Both House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are now ready to meet with Obama to tackle a nonexistent “revenue” problem rather than an unsustainable spending problem. So elections do have consequences — most notably, surrender.

Meanwhile, as the GOP plots an honorable out, the president is crushing them on the broader political and ideological front. It is the president who lays out the populist parameters of this debate (rich vs. the rest) and the Republicans who are unable to muster a cogent retort or a single enticing reform-minded agenda. Instead, the GOP has cooked up a political strategy that repetitively calls out the president for his lack of “leadership” in hopes of pressuring the White House. Good luck with that!
Obama went on to say that he remains adamant that tax rates on the rich must rise — though he is flexible on the details of how he gets to raise tax rates to where he wants them, explained White House Press Secretary Jay Carney this week. In Washington, this is called “compromise.” Obama explained in his presser that he’s also “very eager” to reform the tax code and claims that entitlements such as Medicare and Social Security need a “serious look,” but gave absolutely no hint on how he would move forward.
The president says he’s open to all “new ideas” as long as those ideas “raise revenue, maintain progressivity, make sure the middle class isn’t getting hit, and encourage growth.” Since the president believes that government spending encourages expansion and that the wealthy should pay for that new spending, where does that leave us on debt? Gallup claims that 45 percent of Americans favor reducing the federal deficit with an equal balance of tax increases and spending cuts — which is up from 32 percent last year. One assumes that balance means a dollar in tax hikes for a dollar in spending cuts. Does that sound like it’s about to happen?

Fox News’ Bill Kristol recently wondered why the GOP would “fall on its sword to defend a bunch of millionaires, half of whom voted Democratic and half of whom live in Hollywood and are hostile.” They shouldn’t. They should fall on their swords — or who knows, even come up with a compelling argument — to institute a modicum of responsible budgeting.
As it stands today, after all, Obama will never have to fall on his sword, because he doesn’t even have to bring a weapon to this fight.
 

To win, Obama sacrifices House, State Legislatures

Michael Barone 
To win, Obama sacrifices House, State Legislatures
Barack Obama attended more than 200 fundraisers for his presidential campaign, but he refrained from raising money for congressional Democrats.
That proved to be a wise move for him, as were his strategists’ decisions to run heavy ad campaigns against Mitt Romney and to build an even more effective turnout machine in target states.
But it proved to be less than helpful to his party. Democrats did gain two Senate seats thanks to clueless Republican candidates and Republicans’ failure to produce better turnout.
But Democrats got beaten badly in races for the U.S. House and state legislatures. That’s clear when you compare the number of House Democrats after this year’s election with the number of House Democrats after 2008.
Democrats came out of the 2008 election with 257 seats in the House, well above the majority of 218. That enabled a tough Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, to squeeze out majorities on unpopular measures like the stimulus package, cap and trade, and Obamacare.

Two of the three were big liberal policy victories (cap and trade went nowhere in the Senate). But the Democratic Party paid a price in 2010 — and kept paying in 2012.
Democrats have won or are currently leading in 201 seats in the House. (All these numbers could change slightly in final counts.)
Between 2008 and 2012, they gained seats in only three states: Delaware, where a popular Republican ran for the Senate in 2010; Maryland, thanks to Democratic redistricting; and California, where a supposedly nonpartisan redistricting commission was dominated by Democrats.
The reapportionment process following the 2010 Census cost Democrats some seats because their strong states had relatively little population growth. They have five fewer seats in New York, for example.
The reapportionment effect was strengthened because the 2010 backlash against Democrats gave Republicans control of redistricting in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, all of which lost seats, and North Carolina, which stayed the same.
As a result, in the 113th Congress, as compared to the 111th, there will be three fewer Democrats from Michigan, six fewer from Ohio, seven fewer from Pennsylvania and four fewer from North Carolina.

Democratic losses were greatest in the South, which gained seven seats from reapportionment. There will be 22 fewer Southern Democrats and 29 more Southern Republicans in the House next year than there were in 2009.
Another way to look at it: 123 of 201 House Democrats will be from the Northeast, the West Coast, Hawaii and Illinois. Only 23 are from the Midwest outside of Illinois and only 42 from the South.
Obama was able to build his electoral vote majority thanks to big Democratic majorities from core constituencies concentrated in these states, which gave him 207 electoral votes.
But the concentration of blacks, Hispanics and gentry liberals means there are fewer Democratic votes in the suburbs, the countryside and the geographic heartland. The Obama campaign strategy concentrated on turning out core voters. That left House Democrats short of the votes they needed elsewhere.
In state legislative races, Democrats also rebounded from 2010, but fell far short of the losses they sustained then. They went into the 2010 election with 53 percent of state senators across the country and 56 percent of state lower House members. (Nebraska elects its one legislative chamber on a nonpartisan basis.)
Democrats came out of the 2012 election with only 46 percent of state senators and 48 percent of state lower House seats.

In that time, they gained seats in both chambers in only three states: New Jersey (one seat in each body), Illinois and California.
Democrats still hold most legislative seats in the Northeast. But Republicans now have more state legislators in the Midwest, West and South.
The changes in the South have been especially striking. Democrats went into the 2010 election with 51 percent of state senators and lower House members in the South. They came out of the 2012 election with 38 percent of state senators and 40 percent of lower House members.
Looking back, Bill Clinton’s re-election coalition worked better for his party than Barack Obama’s.
Clinton carried the popular vote in the South, as well as the other three regions. Obama lost the popular vote in the South and carried it by only 3 percent in the Midwest.
The presidential election results looked a lot like 2008′s. But the farther down the ballot you go, the more the results look like 2010′s.
 

The Paula Broadwell I know

Jessica Peck 
The Paula Broadwell I know
I first met Paula by email in 2009.  In advance of a transatlantic forum engaging 25 young American leaders and an equal number of German counterparts in Berlin and Munich, she sent out a group email laying out the best jogging trails in each city.
Annoying, I thought.  This two-week adventure, hosted by the American Council on Germany, would conclude just two days before I would sit for the Colorado bar.  Who had time for working out?
Then I learned that she would be my roommate during the program.  The last thing I needed was a distraction from some exercise addict.  I had yet to write the remarks I was to present on race relations to an impressive audience of international journalists, members of the Bundestag, and some of America’s top rising political stars. I still have no idea how I somehow qualified to be part of the club.
And then she walked into our hotel room.  She’d just gone for a run. I was surrounded by bar prep manuals and listening to an audio lesson.  I immediately stopped.  Had Angelina Jolie just walked in?  No, this woman had more amazing skin and better arms. Truly enough for any woman to resent. But she didn’t let me. Her immediate sincerity in getting to know me and learn about my life was downright disarming.

And she was the real deal at the conference: She led a panel in Berlin about strategy and developments involving U.S. and German military operations. Paula and I never did go running, but we did bike together around Munich, and our conference experiences set us on a path of friendship going forward. I was in awe.
I wasn’t alone. Similar responses followed Paula not only throughout Germany, where she had been stationed with the Army previously and where she met her husband, but also in the years since. While she never bothered to mention that she was writing her own manuscript before it was ready to hit the shelves, she passionately promoted the autobiography of Wes Moore, a fellow American participant and author of the best-selling “The Other Wes Moore.” She also provided me generous insight as I struggled to complete my own book manuscript. Her own post-graduate study through the University of London was enough to inspire me to gain acceptance to a program there.
While I postponed my admission due to work and life commitments, Paula did not.  In addition to raising two little boys the same ages as my kids, she finished her post-graduate study at the university’s King’s College.  At the same time she was working toward her completion of a graduate thesis at Harvard. Oh, and of course, as the world knows now, the last three years have also included time spent embedded in Afghanistan as the biographer for General David Petraeus.

The first time I saw Paula’s book, the now-infamous “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus,” I was standing in a New York bookstore.  Mere days after it came out, it was already climbing fast up the New York Times’ Best Seller List. After the leaving the store, I immediately got on my computer. When I sent her my congratulations, she eagerly responded asking me how she could help me with my book.  My initial response: can you finishing writing it for me?
Fast forward to this month.  I suddenly, through incredibly sad developments, learned that Paula is actually human.  Sitting in a beach restaurant while in Hawaii for a legal conference, I saw Paula’s photo flash onto a TV screen. The volume was muted, but it was clear what had happened.  She was the alleged mistress behind Petraeus’s CIA resignation.  I thought of her beautiful, sweet little family. I thought of the possible implications not only on her own life, but also on our own nation.  I kicked myself for not rescheduling work commitments that prevented me from seeing her during a handful of recent trips to Denver and Aspen.
Then I started crying. This is the woman whose strength carried me through the demise of my own marriage, a union that included publicized accounts of infidelity by my ex-husband. I did confide in her. It was in Germany, after talking with her my failing marriage, I realized I deserved to be happy. By the time we left Berlin, I was committed to do the right thing by ending my marriage. Over subsequent late night email and Facebook messages, she talked rarely about her own life’s struggles. Instead, it was all about how I was going to move forward. My heart breaks not only for her, but also for the Petraeus family as well.

When Gen. Petraeus resigned, we didn’t just lose his leadership. We also, and hopefully only temporarily, lost Paula’s. I know she’ll come back. While we’ve only briefly communicated over email in the days since the scandal broke (and we have not discussed her situation in any shape or form), I think as more details emerge, people will get a more accurate picture of the Paula I know.
Initially, she was painted as a jealous mistress, but I believe there is plenty more to be learned about the relationships and activities of Jill Kelley, who got the investigative ball rolling by contacting an FBI agent friend. I would see Paula as an incredibly protective ally, and even though she was involved romantically with Gen. Petraeus, I would say it’s also possible her actions were motivated by the desire to protect her friends in high ranking military positions from a threat we don’t yet know or understand.
Paula, meanwhile, has remained mum since last Thursday. A few months ago, according to government sources, she responded to an initial FBI inquiry into her relationship with Gen. Petraeus not by lawyering up like most public figures would. Instead, she sat down and told them the truth. When she was subsequently asked let agents search her computer and email accounts, she didn’t demand a search warrant.  She opened the door for them.  While sensationalized reporting suggests that she may have gained access to confidential documents through her close ties to top officials, the FBI is saying this was not the case.

It remains premature to speculate about adverse motives by Jill Kelley or anyone else involved. So, where do we go from here? Do we abandon Petraeus, a proven military and civilian leader when we need him most?  What becomes of Afghanistan? Or Syria and Libya? Who will lead us forward in the aftermath of today’s announcement by Israel that it had taken down a top Hamas leader?  Similarly, do we toss Paula Broadwell aside, a woman who has proven herself as one of my generation’s most intelligent diplomacy experts?  Do we damn her to the Beltway’s outer fringes even after she admitted her poor behavior freely when approached by investigators?
If we are smart, there is only one reasonable answer.  Hell no, we don’t boot them to the curb.  Not at a time when our nation’s foreign intelligence needs are greater than ever before.  Paula made a huge mistake. She did not break the law. She did not stalk another woman.  She never lied to investigators.  Regardless, she will now find her footnote in American history, one of countless other patriots who returned to greatness after scandal.  I have no doubt of this.

Obama takes action on 'unreliable' power grid – in Pakistan!

by Steve Peacock 

Powerline33
Less than a week after Hurricane Sandy plunged much of the mid-Atlantic region into darkness, the Obama administration unveiled a new initiative aimed at mitigating the impact of an “unreliable grid power.”
Not across ravaged coastal New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, but in Pakistan’s Punjab province.
The direct beneficiary of the administration’s generosity is a publicly traded Pakistani cement and concrete producer, according to a planning document that WND located via routine database research.
The Lahore-based Pioneer Cement Limited, or PCL, requested a grant from the U.S. Trade & Development Agency, or USTDA – an independent White House entity – to fund a feasibility study of its modernization plans.

USTDA agreed, thereby requiring U.S. taxpayers to foot the bill for eco-friendly industry representatives needing international flights and hotel accommodations. The agency is offering a $770,000 grant to make it happen, Solicitation Number 2012-31033A shows.
The completed study also may come with recommendations for further financial or technical assistance to PCL, which ultimately wants to build a biomass-fired power plant as well as a waste heat recovery unit “and energy efficiency upgrades to mitigate or reduce dependence on unreliable grid power,” the document says.
Biomass, “as a renewable energy source, is biological material from living, or recently living organisms,” as defined by the Surrey, England-based Biomass Energy Center. PCL, for instance, uses residues from agricultural waste such as rice husks and wheat straw.
See the cheerleaders for Barack Obama’s plans. 


USTDA acknowledges that the grant-recipient Pakistani company is thriving. Indeed, the targeted facility “is equipped with two cement production lines with a total production capacity of 6,200 tons” of clinker – the primary component of cement – per day.
The agency laments, however, that “PCL’s production costs are rising, particularly in terms of fuel and power. As a result, PCL is intent on maximizing production capacity utilization, maintaining quality, and reducing its cost of production.”
Implementation of the biomass-fired power plant will help PCL “to meet the cement plant’s internal demand, with any surplus energy being sold to the National Transmission & Despatch Company,” the solicitation says.
USTDA touts itself for helping “companies create U.S. jobs through the export of U.S. goods and services for priority development projects in emerging economies.”
The agency on its website claims that last year it “identified over $2.2 billion in U.S. exports that were directly attributable to USTDA-funded activities.”

But as WND reported earlier this year, sometimes those companies include multi-billion-dollar corporations such as GE, which stands to gain from USTDA-financed energy projects in Kenya and Tanzania.
The agency often pays for feasibility studies and “definitional missions” as the first steps toward the modernization of other nations’ industries – including the oil industry in places such as Libya.
USTDA has since embarked upon a separate Libyan project.
Interestingly, on the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks – the very day of the al Qaida-staged attacks resulting in the deaths the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others – USTDA in a Special Notice recognized the “technical merit” of an unsolicited proposal to create Internet access points across Libya.
Benghazi and Tripoli were identified as two target cities to deploy the access points. No action – neither a contract award or project cancellation—has been announced in that particular matter.
Congress this week separately began hearings on the Benghazi attack.

12th-century rabbi predicted Israel's future

WND Exclusive
rabbi
JERUSALEM – Judah Ben Samuel was a legendary and prolific German rabbi of the 12th century who made some astonishing and specific predictions about the future of Jerusalem and Israel that came true.
Judah Ben Samuel, also known as Judah he-Hasid (Judah the Pious), lived and worked from the end of the 12th century until the beginning of the 13th century in Regensburg, authoring a number of books in the German language.
Ludwig Schneider of Israel Today magazine has translated some of his work into English over the last few years, including “The Book of the Pious – Sefer Hasidim” and the “Book of Calculations – Sefer Gematriyot.”

Following the Christian crusades to the Holy Land, between 1096-1270, a regular correspondence developed between the Jews in the Holy Land and the Christian West. Thus, for example, the rabbis in Worms and Regensburg in Germany knew that Saladin’s Ayyubids had been ruling in the Holy Land since 1187.
At this time, Judah Ben Samuel published the results of his biblical calculations (Gematria) and astrological observations and summarized as follows: “When the Ottomans (Turks) – who were already a power to be reckoned with on the Bosporus in the time of Judah Ben Samuel – conquer Jerusalem they will rule over Jerusalem for eight jubilees. Afterwards Jerusalem will become no-man’s land for one jubilee, and then in the ninth jubilee it will once again come back into the possession of the Jewish nation – which would signify the beginning of the Messianic end time.”
One jubilee is 50 years (Leviticus 25). It is the 50th year after seven times seven years, the year in which each person should regain ownership of his or her land. Ben Samuel’s calculations were purely theoretical; there was absolutely no sign at that time of their being fulfilled. He himself was not able to experience their fulfillment, for it was only 300 years after his death that the first of his predictions were to come true.

The Mamluks, who had been reigning in Jerusalem since 1250, were conquered in 1517 by the Ottoman Turks. They remained for eight jubilees (8 x 50 = 400 years), that is to say they were in Jerusalem for 400 years. Exactly 400 years later, in 1917, the Ottoman Turks were conquered by the British. The League of Nations conferred the Mandate for the Holy Land and Jerusalem to the British. Thus, from 1917, under international law, Jerusalem was no-man’s land.
Then, when Israel captured Jerusalem in the Six Day War of 1967, exactly one jubilee (50 years) after 1917, Jerusalem reverted to Jewish-Israeli ownership once again. Thereby, according to the prophecies of Judah Ben Samuel, the Messianic End Times began.
Many scholars have studied and made reference to Judah Ben Samuel’s writings in an effort to understand how he reached his conclusions. Among those referencing Ben Samuel were Rabbi Isaac Ben Solomon Luria, a mystic dealing with the messianic world (Jerusalem, 1531-1572, Safed); Joseph Solomon Delmegido (1591 Candia – 1655 Prague), a mathematician and astronomer (“Mazref le-Chochma”), Azulai I (1724-1806), a famed bibliographer; Samuel David Luzzatto (1800-1865), a Bible scholar; historian Heinrich Graetz (1817-1891); and Torah scholar Jacob Epstein (1925-1993).

The secret of how Judah the Pious arrived at such accurate predictions has less to do with the actual calculations than it does with the fact that he had consecrated his life to God. His pupils Rabbi Isaac ben Moses (Vienna), Rabbi Baruch ben Samuel (Mainz) and Rabbi Simcha (Speyer) testify that Ben Samuel was a model of abstinence and selflessness and was awaiting with a burning desire the coming of the Messiah.
Ben Samuel was often called “Light of Israel.” Even bishops came to him for advice. If anyone asked him where his wisdom came from he would answer, “The prophet Elijah, who will precede the Messiah, appeared to me and revealed many things to me and emphasized that the precondition for answered prayer is that it is fueled by enthusiasm and joy for the greatness and holiness of God.”
But to recap the astonishing predictions: In AD 1217 this scholarly and pious rabbi prophesied that the Ottoman Turks would rule over the holy city of Jerusalem for eight Jubilees. Now, keep in mind, he made this prediction 300 years before the Ottoman Turks seized control of Jerusalem in 1517. If indeed 1217 and 1517 were jubilee years as Judah Ben Samuel believed, then his prophecy was exactly right, because exactly 400 years after the Turks took control of Jerusalem they were driven out of the city and the holy land in 1917 by the Allied forces under the command of General George Allenby – on Hanukkah, by the way.

But it gets more interesting still.
The rabbi also prophesied that during the ninth Jubilee Jerusalem would be a “no-man’s land.” This is exactly what happened from 1917 to 1967, due to the fact that the Holy Land was placed under British Mandate in 1917 by the League of Nations and literally “belonged” to no nation.
Even after Israel’s war of independence in 1948-49, Jerusalem was still divided by a strip of land running right through the heart of the city, with Jordan controlling the eastern part of the city and Israel controlling the western part of the city. That strip of land was considered and even called “no-man’s land” by both the Israelis and the Jordanians.
It was not until the Six Day War in 1967 when the entire West Bank of the Holy Land was conquered by the Israeli army that the whole city of Jerusalem passed back into the possession of Israel. So once again the prophecy made by the rabbi 750 years previously was fulfilled to the letter.
It certainly would be significant if both 1917 and 1967 were Jubilee years, considering the significance of what happened in Jerusalem on those years. But it gets even more interesting, because Judah Ben Samuel also prophesied that during the 10th Jubilee Jerusalem would be under the control of the Jews and the Messianic “end times” would begin. If he’s right, the 10th Jubilee began in 1967 and will be concluded in 2017.

“The Bible should be our standard for prophecy and interpretation of prophetic events,” said Joseph Farah, editor and founder of WND, upon learning of Judah Ben Samuel’s predictions in Israel Today. “But one cannot ignore what this 12th-century rabbi said and wrote. It’s well-documented. And I applaud Israel Today for bringing it to light. The implications of these predictions is staggering to say the least.”
