Chris Hayes & Guest Suggest Bobby Jindal & Phil Robertson Would Like Anal Sex if They Tried It
This just goes to show you the level of depravity this corrupt propaganda network of the imperial regime will go to. I’ll say it, I think what Chris Hayes and this Richard Kim just said is as offensive as what people think Robertson said, but I’ll go a step further and suggest it’s right up there with what Bashir said about Sarah Palin. Why? I’ll go a step further and suggest, as the left does, that this is a suggestion buy these two for people like Robertson, Jindal, Palin, Cruz etc to be raped anally or engage in it! A stretch? Yea, but so is the lefts claims that Roberston’s statement was a direct connection between homosexuality, beastiality and terrorism! You progressives want to play this twisting of words game we’ll play it!
What is happening with Phil Robertson is a snapshot of a larger problem with this country. Aside from the outright tyranny we are under from the govt we are also under tyranny from minority groups. I could rant about all of that but instead I want to ask you America why do you sit back allowing a handful dictate what is and isn’t acceptable? Why do you allow these small minority tyrants start fights and then walk away as the left and right duke it out! It’s like a woman/man who cheats on their spouse or significant other, get’s caught but then the lovers/ significant others fight it out, when in reality the cheater should be the one taking the heat! Have you ever noticed that? The “cheatees” always end up fighting while the “cheater” stands back watches and still gets what they want!
Political correctness is out of control. I think it’s about time we start taking a look at these small minority tyrants (term coined by Mark levin) and bring the fight to their front door.
oped: Indeed The LGBT and GLAAD movements are just a continuence of the WWII Pink Swastika movement....people need to wake up to the fact that the Obama Administration is just a resurgence of this perverted and destructive movement!
The research has already been done ...all one needs do is read,comprehend then act!

Congressman Gowdy Explains Why We Won’t Forget Benghazi
Stop whatever you are doing and watch this video.
Justice remains to be served for the murders of four Americans in Benghazi last year and the Obama Administration has desperately tried to ensure everyone forgets about it.
They have consistently lied about the details surrounding the attack and forbid people from speaking out. Then, when they are called out on these lies, they say not to worry about it because “it happened a long time ago.” Hillary infamously asked, “What difference does it make?”
Even if the Obama Administration continues to cover it up and the mainstream media remains silent, we know that it does matter. Until there is justice, people will continue to question Benghazi. One such man is Representative Trey Gowdy, who recently explained why he and thirty other congressmen are taking Obama to court.
In the video below, Gowdy demands answers on Benghazi and criticizes the Obama Administration and the media for failing to do their respective jobs. He says the few “answers” that we have gotten “def[y] logic.” His speech will send chills down your spine.
He begins with a quote from Obama himself: “We will not waver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act in Benghazi. And make no mistake; justice will be done.” He said that over a year ago…
No one has been arrested. No one has been prosecuted. No one has been “brought to justice.” We don’t even have access to the witnesses. [...]
I’m not going to tell you how to do your job, but I’m going to ask you some questions. And if you can’t answer these questions, then I will leave you to draw whatever conclusion you want to draw about whether or not the media has provided sufficient oversight.
Can you tell me why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi the night that he was killed? Do you know? Does it bother you whether or not you know why Chris Stevens was in Benghazi? Do you know why we were the last flag flying in Benghazi — after the British had left and the Red Cross had been bombed? Do you know why requests for additional security were denied?
Do you know why an ambassador asking for more security days and weeks before he was murdered and those requests when unheeded? [...] Do you know why no assets were deployed during the siege? And I’ve already heard the explanation — which defies logic, frankly — that “we couldn’t have gotten there in time.” But, you know, they didn’t know when it was going to end, so how can you possibly cite that as an excuse?
Do you know whether the president called any of our allies and said, “can you help? We have been under attack”? Can you answer that?
He goes on to question why “Susan Rice was picked … to go on Sunday talk shows,” rather than Hillary Clinton, who was the Secretary of State at the time. He slams the administration trying to use a YouTube video as the definite explanation of the cause of this “spontaneous” attack. “Do you know where that started?” he asked.
The best part of his speech comes at the end of the video where he blasts those who took the Obama Administration’s absurd lies at face value, without question:
Congress is supposed to supply oversight. The voters are supposed to supply oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That’s why you have special liberties and you have special protections.
I am not surprised that the President of the United States called this a “phony scandal.” I’m not surprised Secretary Clinton asked, “what difference does it make?” I’m not even surprised that Jay Carney said that Benghazi “happened a long time ago.”
I’m just surprised at how many people bought it.
The Obama Administration has done everything within (and beyond) their power to make sure people forget Benghazi. But we never will sweep these murders, lies, and outright corruption under the rug out of political convenience.
We want answers, we want justice, and we applaud Congressman Gowdy’s heroic stand.

***A MUST SHARE*** A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day the captain wanted to humiliate him before the troops. He called the young man and said: – Young man come here, take the key and go and park the Jeep in front. the young man replied: – I cannot drive! The captain said: – Well then ask for assistance of your God! Show us that He exist! The young man takes the key and walked to the vehicle and begins to pray…… …He parks the jeep at the place PERFECTLY well as the captain wanted. The young man came out of the jeep and saw them all crying.
They all said together: – We want to serve your God! The young soldier was astonished, and asked what was going on? The CAPTAIN crying opened the hood of the jeep by showing the young man that the car had no engine. Then the boy said: See? This is the God I serve, THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLE, the God who gives life to what does not exist. You may think there are things still impossible BUT WITH GOD EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. To the person reading this, I pray the Lord work A SUPER MIRACLE in your life today that would look like a lie In Jesus Name I Pray.. Write 'Amen' to claim this prayer
Conservatives Choking On Boehner’s Phony Deficit Reduction
by Bob Livingston
Only a true sociopath can lie to your face when he knows you know he is lying, and then chastise you for not believing the lie.
Such is the case with House Weeper John Boehner. Such is the case with Representative Paul Ryan. Such is the case with most, if not all, politicians.
When the big Weeper stood before cameras lauding the budget deal House Republicans had reached with Senate Democrats, Boehner claimed that the deal creates a smaller, less costly, more accountable Federal government. “It’s doing what the American people expect us to do,” which is to “stick to our principles but find common ground,” Boehner said in a pre-vote speech. He even said it with a straight face.
What the deal does is add back $63 billion in spending that had been cut by the so-called sequester deal President Barack Obama and the House had agreed to in 2011. It increases so-called discretionary Federal spending to $1.01 trillion for this fiscal year, an increase above the $967 billion 2011 budget plan. It also raises $12 billion in fees on air travelers to pay for aviation security. These increased taxes, by the way, were called “savings” by the elected class. Note that total Federal spending in 2014 is expected to be about $3.21 trillion, even with the so-called “cuts” outlined in the agreement.
In an essay titled “Politics and the English Language,” George Orwell wrote, “Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” Such is the case in Washington, D.C., where ever-increasing Federal spending is called cuts, taxes are called savings, lies are called the truth and progressives and statists call themselves conservatives.
The Weeper took to the microphones after the vote and proclaimed: “I came here to fight for a smaller, less costly, more accountable Federal government. And, uh, this budget agreement takes giant steps in that direction… All the things that we’ve done over the three years I’ve been speaker have not violated any conservative principal. Not once.” And again, he kept a straight face.
Conservatives can only wish his lie were true.
Boehner became speaker in January 2011. His “fight for smaller, less costly, more accountable Federal Government” since then has resulted in the official U.S. “debt” as measured by the Treasury Department rising from $14.1 trillion to $17.2 trillion.
After the deal, Boehner crowed that among the deal’s good points was deficit reduction. That might indeed be considered a positive were it true that scraping $20 billion to $23 billion out of a $3.21 trillion and-sure-to-annually-increase budget over 10 years was meaningful reduction — especially considering that the Federal Reserve pumps $85 billion a month in new spending into the economy through quantitative easing to infinity.
Winners in the budget deal included the Pentagon and the military-industrial complex, which get back much of the money they lost in the sequester deal, and the growing bureaucracy of the Federal leviathan. Remember: As the government steals your money, it hires more people to staff the bloated bureaucracies and sit around thinking of more ways to steal more of your money.
Losers are the American people, who see government growing ever larger and recognize there is no one in Washington, D.C., with the stomach to make significant cuts.
Despite what Boehner wants you to believe, the Federal government’s problem is not the deficit. It’s spending, and the deal in no way addresses that. The government took in a record $2.77 trillion in tax revenue in the just completed fiscal year. For perspective, that’s $200 billion more than the previous record in 2007. That year, the government took in $2.57 trillion and spent $2.73 trillion. If the government were cut back to 2007 levels, it would be operating well in the black. I don’t recall there being complaints of too little government in 2007… or 2006 or 2005.
When several Tea Party-aligned groups pointed out that the deal grows government rather shrinks it, as Boehner claimed, he lashed out, calling them “ridiculous.” But pointing out that a deal that increases Federal spending, raises taxes and puts off meaninglessly insignificant “deficit reduction” to later years is far from “ridiculous.” What Boehner has done is used an accounting gimmick common among the political class.
The deal also breaks the “Read the Bill” promise made the Boehner and GOP in 2010 that said that all bills would be available for reading online for 72 hours before they are voted on. The bill was posted at 11:25 p.m. on Tuesday, five hours after an agreement was announced. The bill was passed out of the House on Thursday. The House then adjourned and Boehner and his minions scurried out of town.
Now the bill moves to the Senate where Republicans, still peeved with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s move toward mob rule, plan to launch procedural efforts to kill it. For some of them the unhappiness is not that the deal cuts too little government spending — it’s in where the cuts come from. Whether they will unite to stand in the breech remains to be seen.
Tea Party-aligned groups are unhappy with the agreement. That makes Republican Senators set to face the electorate in 2014 just a little antsy. But a large group of House Republicans — and Boehner in particular — seem to not care.
John Boehner Must Go; Here’s Why
by Wayne Allyn Root
Hello, I’m Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. John Boehner is the Speaker of the House of the United States of America and the leader of one of America’s two major political parties. Is he the best and brightest we have to offer? Are you kidding me?
No wonder the GOP Congress loses at every turn to Barack Obama. We are led by a fool. Boehner is the worst negotiator I’ve ever seen. He fights with a white flag. Total surrender. He fights like a man preordained to lose, his every move dominated by fear and an inferiority complex. This is our “leader?”
Or is it all just a big choreographed game, like professional wrestling? Are Obama and Boehner actually on the same team, fighting for the same goal: big government? Do they only put on a show from time to time to keep everyone fooled into thinking there are really two different political parties to choose from?
Or perhaps Obama is using the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service to blackmail GOP politicians? Perhaps Obama has photos of Boehner in bed with the wrong person. Because the way Boehner fights these battles is so embarrassing, I’d have more respect for him if he were being blackmailed. That would explain his pathetic strategy, loser mentality and nonstop surrenders.
But now Boehner has gone and done the unthinkable. This time he’s done something so stupid, it tops everything that came before. Boehner just picked a fight with the Tea Party. He just attacked his own political base. His best customers. His true-blue conservative army. That’s touching the third rail of politics. That’s a fatal mistake. That’s called “career suicide.” Going to war with your own base is unforgivable.
I learned from the best. My grandfather came to America in the early 1900s with nothing. Zero. Just a dream. He worked for 20 years as a butcher until he saved up enough money to open his own butcher store. That small store became a huge success for more than 40 years. My grandfather became a relatively wealthy man (for a small businessman with a tiny store) and a respected business leader in his community… and, of course, a huge fiscal conservative.
Later in life, I asked him what was the key to his remarkable success, going from penniless foreigner to self-made millionaire with only a small butcher store. He told me it was always about the customer. He said, “There are 2 rules in business, my grandson. Rule No. 1 is: The customer is always right. Rule No. 2 is: If the customer is wrong, refer back to Rule No. 1.”
That’s it. Always protect your base. Treat your base — your most loyal customers, your true believers — as kings. And if they are wrong, treat them as if they are right. Why? Because without your best customers, you are out of business. You are up a creek without a paddle. Your success, riches and power derive from that base. Your job, above all others, is to nourish and protect that base.
Forget all the bad negotiating; Boehner has now violated the most important rule in business or politics. As pathetic as he is at negotiating, he was always forgiven. But this last act of madness cannot be forgiven. He has bitten the hand that feeds him. He turned on, attacked and denigrated the true-blue heroes of the Republican Party. He attacked the people who keep the GOP in business.
Without the true-blue conservatives, you don’t have a business — or, in this case, a political party. You have nothing. Without our support, our energy, our enthusiasm, our hard work in the trenches and our donations, you have nothing. The GOP — like any business or political party — ceases to exist without its best customers.
Boehner lost sight of the rules of battle. A business is in business only because of its best customers. Take them away, and the richest business owner is the owner of nothing. Just as an army exists only because of its soldiers; demoralize them, and they become a defeated army. The greatest general is left with nothing. In Japan, that general would commit hari-kari. In America, his life is spared; but he is relieved of command and retired.
A political party is a political party only because of its base. Without its most loyal supporters and true believers, it is extinct. And the leader of that baseless, rudderless party — no matter how powerful, no matter how delusional — is a leader of nothing.
Boehner chose to attack that base. And for that sin, Boehner can never be forgiven. For the sake of the GOP and the future of America, Boehner must go.
A Majority Of Fools
by Ben Crystal
By the time President George W. Bush had finished his second term in office, the same voters who had re-elected him had tired of him in then-record fashion. With the exception of the Watergate-befouled latter years of President Richard Nixon’s second term, one needed to search back to the dark days of the stock market crash of 1929, the Great Depression and “Hoovervilles” to find a chief executive the electorate disliked as much as “W.” Of course, the Democrats and their corporate media lapdogs played up Bush’s unpopularity as often — and as loudly — as a “tween” girl who just downloaded the new One Direction single.
When Bush finally pulled up his Presidential stakes, his approval ratings were mired in the low-30s, including a slight bump upward from the 25 percent number he scored at the same moment President Barack Obama won the 2008 election. Despite murky political origins and a backstory that featured holes large enough for Michael Moore to waddle through, Obama rode into the Oval Office on a wave of “hope and change.” Obama’s approval rating on Jan. 23, 2009, was a gaudy 68 percent.
Bush’s extreme lack of popularity created a “negative coattails” effect in advance of Obama’s miraculous ascension. Obama took the executive reins bolstered by a Democratic majority in both the House and Senate. Nothing but smooth sailing lay ahead for the liberals.
Yet despite a seemingly unbreakable hold on the American political rudder, the Democrats managed to founder the ship of state. An incredibly badly planned bailout of the auto industry cost the taxpayers billions of dollars. Sketchy loans in the nine- and 10-figure range disappeared into fly-by-night rackets run by Obama’s cronies. Obama attacked the coal industry, Boeing and even Gibson Guitars with regulatory gestapo tactics. He deployed the National Security Agency and the Internal Revenue Service against his political opponents in almost Stalinist fashion. And of course, he reanimated “Hillarycare” as “Obamacare,” forcing Americans to endure what is indubitably the biggest and dumbest fraud in human history.
Obama’s pursuit of his own political utopia at the expense of virtually everyone else on the planet sent the economy into a further tailspin. His virtually unprecedented incompetence in the foreign affairs arena made Bush seem Disraeli-esque. And back on the home front, he turned the 68 percent approval he enjoyed on his first day in office into 43 percent. By comparison, Bush finished off the first year of his second term at 47 percent.
Granted, the self-destruction of Obama’s veneer of feigned competence during his first two years in office cost the Democrats control of the House; but national polls still indicated a distrust of Republicans. The Democrats, led by Obama, had a majority. And according to Democrat logic, circa the Senate Democrats’ recent murder of the filibuster, a majority translates to unfettered freedom to do anything — up to and including the failing Obamacare fraud.
Presuming the Democrats are correct in believing that a majority trumps everything, then I have some very bad news for Obama, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and the wire-pullers, corruptocrats and outright criminals who run the portside party: You’re done. Finished. Kaput. Sh*t-canned.
As of this moment, Obama has the approval of only 43 percent of his employers. That’s 4 points worse than Bush at the same point in his Presidency. That’s actually 1 point better than Obama’s polling solely on the economy. That’s 9 points better than the rating sported by Congressional Democrats. As the Democrats are fond of reminding us, Bush’s second term was the political equivalent of a BASE jump without a parachute. So I suggest we learn from our mistakes. Since Obama is even worse than Bush, why prolong the fall?
Come to think of it, the Republicans have done such a grand job of almost standing up to Obama and his accomplices on everything from profligate spending to personal privacy, they’re polling as poorly as the Democrats. Someone tell Obama to pick up Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Congressman Paul Ryan and the rest of the spineless ninnies who prove with every idiotic “compromise” that they’re essentially interchangeable with their supposed opponents. I’m sure he has room for them on Air Force One.
I am well aware that governing by poll numbers is a poor substitute for governing by principle. But the current political elite either don’t or won’t understand the difference. They wanted a simple majority rule. Let’s give it to them. Pink slips all around!

Robertson Spends Evening of Firing at Church Praying for Woman with Cancer
"Phil is doing his best to follow God’s word."
by: Truth RevoltOn Wednesday night, embattled Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson spent the evening at church praying for a woman in his community with cancer. Pastor Mike Kellett of White Ferry’s Road Church said that Robertson specifically came to help the cancer-ridden fellow Christian, and didn’t say anything about his suspension from the show by A&E.
Kellett stated, “Phil led us in prayer. There were greater things on our minds than the firestorm of controversy about this article.” Kellett explained that Robertson was “very calm, and very confident that if he serves the Lord, God will take care of everything.”
“Phil is doing his best to follow God’s word,” Kellett said. “He always treats people with love and respect.” He added, “Television shows come and go. His faith is forever…He has literally helped bring hundreds of people to the Lord.”
Kellett agreed with Robertson’s general comments on homosexuality, explaining, “I think it’s unfortunate that when you quote the Bible people get upset about one particular sin that always seems to get a lot of attention. But sometimes the Bible is going to rub folks the wrong way.”

Hey DHS 'Your Badge Show him your Obama issued Badge'
A DEA Agent stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location. The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!" The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull...... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs...... "YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!" This story made us laugh. SHARE it with your friends if it made you laugh as well!
Obama to Youth of America: You Should TOTES Get Obamacare. I’m Super Cereal!!
The administration wants the young folks to be like:
But instead, they be all like:
Obama is tuned in, people. He’s got a good bead on things. The truth is, he’s Mr. Cool. I mean the man took a selfie at a funeral. If that’s not wicked chill then what is??
In point of fact, the entire administration is cool. They’re like a bunch of little Fonzies up there. And what’s Fonzie like? Come on Yolanda, what’s Fonzie like?
Correctamundo. Cool. And that’s what Prez and the Barackolytes are. Cool.
So you can imagine their frustration, their straight up Aaargh and Doh!, that they can’t seem to get the kids today (with their facepage and their music) interested in signing up for Obamacare. Considering the entire scheme is utterly dependent on the participation of the young and healthy, this does seem to pose a Dilemma (by Nelly!).
See how hip everything is? TUNED. IN. Even their failures are super up to date and not played out or awkward at all.
In recent weeks, @BarackObama, the twitter account named after the President, operated in support of the President, run by a group formed on behalf of the President, operating as a surrogate of the President, BUT IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH THE PRESIDENT, has been posting … questionable advertising aimed at getting young people to register for Obamacare. It’s been a long and increasingly sad story told in instagrams and wanna-be memes.
Just how desperate are Obamacare supporters and surrogates to get these intransigent youths to jump off of mommy and daddy’s health plan and start propping up residents of storied Biden paradise “The Villages”? Well first, they encouraged binge-drinking and keg stands. Then they plied women with the notion of random hook-ups, because free birth control is the same thing as immunity from all consequence. Next, they moved on to encouraging yutes to yell at their uncool drunk uncles during Thanksgiving dinner. Then they took a break and let amazingly relevant ZOMG celebs like Kal Penn and Adam Levine pimp it, to appeal to the intellectual crowd. And now? Well now they’ve got a beta male in footie pajamas holding a giant mug of cocoa pitching healthcare rap sessions over the non-denominational holiday season.
Can’t you just hear him asking if the cream is from grass-fed local livestock and lamenting how many African children could be fed for the cost of just one of the marshmallows he coyly pushes about with his kitsch Amish wooden spoon beneath the comforting warmth of his Josh Hutcherson poster? This man-child is clearly a thought leader. If he can’t sell Obamacare to other wayward women’s studies graduates over a vegan snack and some ironic pot brownies they’re only eating as a gag, WELL THEN WHO CAN???
Poor Obamacarians. Betrayed by the one demographic they were absolutely certain they were uber tight with. How can they let these children of light just slip away? Bitter clingers, indeed. I mean, just Imagine (Dragons) what they’ll do next!
Well here at RedState, we didn’t want to wait (for our lives to be over), so we did some digging, and hot-diggety has it paid off. Check out this preview of the newest ad the Obamacarers are preparing to get their needy on with. This is hot off the presses people!
Oh snap, as the kids today definitely say all the time. That’s pretty desperate.
But I’m a generous guy, and like the government, I’m here to help. So I’ve written you Obamacaniacs a new slogan. You’re welcome. “@BarackObama: We put the Obama in Obamacare. Also the care. Oh, and free condoms. Mmmmm … something about Lady Gaga. And in conclusion, skinny jeans!”
So listen up, you doe-eyed millenials, my darlings, me droogies. Don’t h8! Registr8! After all, if you don’t, Obama’s gonna be all like:
Oh and one more thing. If you think the campaign to reach the youth of America is lame and borderline offensive, just look at how they’re trying to reach gays* (via Ace of Spades HQ). Clueless pandering much? Whats next, reaching out to women with a stirring late night appearance as Barack Obama featuring Jimmy Fallon and the Roots sing “All I Want For Christmas Is Shoes”? Because I would watch that!!
But instead, they be all like:
Seriously. Don't be cray cray.
Caleb HoweObama is tuned in, people. He’s got a good bead on things. The truth is, he’s Mr. Cool. I mean the man took a selfie at a funeral. If that’s not wicked chill then what is??

Evil Preaches Tolerance Until It Is Dominant, Then Seeks to Silence Good
[Photo by Andres Serrano of Christ in a jar of the artist's urine]
Erick Erickson
In 1987, Andre Sarano took a photograph of Christ on the cross in a jar of urine. It won the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art’s “Awards in the Visual Arts” competition, which was sponsored in part by taxpayers.
Outraged Christians were told they didn’t have to see it. They did not have to go to the museum. Their money, of course, had to fund the National Endowment for the Arts, but they themselves just needed to ignore it. Christians needed to show tolerance to for the diversity of others’ thoughts.
Robert Maplethorpe spent many years touring the United States with artwork depicting, among other things, people drinking urine, bondage and sadomasochism, and a picture of himself with a whip inserted in that part of his body Phil Robertson does not find very attractive.
Conservatives offended by this were instructed to be tolerant, not go to the exhibit, and just turn the other cheek.
In 1996, Chris Ofili created a painting of the Virgin Mary. He pornographic images and elephant dung. Rudy Giuliani, then Mayor of New York City, tried to yank funding for the Brooklyn Museum because of the painting. Giuliani was pilloried in the press for doing so. Tolerance was demanded. Christians did not have to go to the museum if they wanted.
And now we’ve reach a new level.
Phil Robertson is an evangelical Christian. He called sin illogical, stated his preference for women, and lumped gays in with other sinners such as drunks and terrorists. It is that last one that has really caused all the problems. Nevermind that Phil Robertson said Christians are to love everyone and not judge anyone. Nevermind he made it clear he was not condemning anyone. He just stated his belief.
He did not make anyone convert. He did not attack anyone. He did not harass anyone. He answered a question. But the kids at GLAAD, now dominant, have gone from demanding tolerance for all to silencing good people.
Christians were once told they did not have to look or listen. The militant gay rights movement and the secular left will not abide by their own prescription. Those who dissent or think differently must be silenced.
The members of GLAAD, which also took it upon itself to tell America what Christians really should think and believe, could simply not watch Duck Dynasty. But the hysteric whiners can’t leave it at that. They cannot leave well enough alone. They must punish and destroy.
Evil must, when it is able, silence good because good serves as an ever present and ongoing witness against evil.
Federal Judge Says California Attorney General Kamala Harris Wrong on Gun Control Laws
Court denies Harris’ arguments and agrees with gun rights group The Calguns Foundation, says state’s firearm waiting period laws likely fail to meet Constitutional muster
ROSEVILLE, CA — In a rejection of California Attorney
General Kamala Harris’ stance on the rights of law-abiding gun owners,
Senior Federal District Court Judge Anthony W. Ishii denied Harris’
motion for summary judgement today in a federal civil rights lawsuit
filed by The Calguns Foundation, indicating that California’s 10-day
“waiting period” gun laws are likely unconstitutional.
“The fact that a federal judge saw these laws for what they
are — baseless restraints on the exercise of a fundamental civil right —
is monumental,” explained Gene Hoffman, Chairman of The Calguns
Foundation. “California’s waiting period laws for those who own guns is
not Constitutional and this order really underlines the point.”
In his order, Judge Ishii said that Harris has “not
presented sufficient evidence to show that the [10-day waiting period
laws] passes either intermediate or strict scrutiny.”
About the laws being challenged in the case, named
plaintiff Jeff Silvester of Hanford, California, said, “I have a license
to carry a loaded firearm across the State.It is ridiculous that I have
to wait another 10 days to pick up a new firearm when I’m standing
there in the gun store lawfully carrying one the whole time.”
“This is certainly an exciting development in Second
Amendment case law,” noted Brandon Combs, an individual plaintiff in the
case and the Executive Director of The Calguns Foundation. “If our
Constitution means what it says, then California’s gun waiting period
laws have to be overturned and law-abiding people must be allowed to
exercise their rights without irrational infringements.”
Regardless of the final decision at the district court, the
case is virtually certain to end up at the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, and possibly even the United States Supreme Court.
“Cases like this one will define the limits of government
regulations on firearms and Second Amendment rights,” said Combs. “We
look forward to making sure laws like California’s waiting period are
properly scrutinized by the courts.”
Judge Ishii was appointed to the Federal District Court for
the Eastern District of California by President Bill Clinton in 1997.

Obama’s Forged Birth Certificate Brings Call For Revolution
by
More and more Americans are calling for Revolution—a demand that Obama “put down the Quran and leave the White House”—with a renewed scrutiny of Obama’s birth certificate after it was revealed in the lawsuit Klayman v. Obama that there existed multiple versions of Obama’s birth certificate—proving it’s a forgery.
The judge quietly dismissed the case on December 16, 2013; but with Larry Klayman singlehandedly winning a lawsuit against the NSA’s massive spying program on the exact same day, everyone from pundits to politicians are taking a new look at Obama’s forged birth certificate.
Conservatives who have long called for Obama’s impeachment are being joined by Americans from every political stripe, demanding that the Forger-in-Chief, Barack Hussein Obama, get out of the White House—immediately—now!

Coach: Lesbian Fired Me For Being Straight
by
It is no surprise that militant homosexual activists are openly hostile toward Americans with traditional values. While they insist society accept – and even endorse – their lifestyle, the same courtesy is not afforded toward those with whom they disagree.
Generally, the disdain emanating from this community is limited to verbal abuse; however, heterosexuals have been targeted by bullies determined to inflict physical, emotional, or economic pain. Though the incredibly rare cases of discrimination against gay people are reported ad nauseam by the mainstream press, instances in which the roles are reversed are often ignored completely.
One such case involved a private school gym teacher in New York. A married father of three, Gregory Kenney had taught at the affluent Trinity School for 16 years. When a new athletic director joined the staff in 2009, however, Kenney said his formerly enjoyable job became much more difficult.
Lesbian Pat Krieger reportedly singled him out for his “gender, sexual orientation, ‘traditional family status,’ and age,” according to a recently filed discrimination suit.
Kenney claims he was given an unbearable work load while other instructors – especially young, single females – received a pass. When he complained, the suit alleges Krieger responded: “We all make choices.”
Attorney Steven Morelli explained that the coach “felt ostracized because of his family,” noting his termination last year was not based on any shortcomings in his job performance.
“He had been doing this for so many years and he certainly did the job well or they would have gotten rid of him a long time ago,” Morelli added.
The suit alleges that Krieger urged Kenney to stay away from social gatherings because of his heterosexuality, noting that his replacement at the school was also a lesbian.
A year-and-a-half later, Krieger is still looking for a replacement job.
There is no question that homosexuals have faced discrimination in this nation’s past – as have members of virtually all social groups. In recent years, however, this community has received preferential treatment while anyone critical of their sexual choices is mercilessly lambasted.
As is too often the case in our politically correct society, those supposedly being protected from discrimination in fact only succeed in becoming bullies themselves.
Facebook Accused of Banning Duck Dynasty Supporters
by Amber Trucke
If you have a Facebook account and have checked it at all in the last 24 hours, you’re no doubt aware that A&E has indefinitely suspended Phil Robertson, the patriarch of their mega-hit reality show “Duck Dynasty.” If you’re a Duck Dynasty fan you likely know all the details – if not, you still likely know all the details thanks to many in your Facebook feed.
But some are claiming that now Facebook is censoring their views in support of Robertson.
In one case, the page creator of the page ‘Boycott A&E Until Phil Robertson Is Put Back On Duck Dynasty’ had his ability to post to the page suspended for 12 hours by Facebook. Wayne Dupree of the Wayne Dupree Show webcast posted to the page with what looks to be a screenshot of the ban notification Facebook sent to the creator, Michael, along with a message to members of the page letting them know that Michael would be unable to post.
The screenshot of the notification shows that Facebook banned Michael for a post that simply read, “Nearly 4,500 likes in ONE HOUR! Amazing everyone, please keep sharing!”
The page, created Wednesday evening after news of Robertson’s suspension, now has more than 685,000 likes less than 24 hours later.
Former governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee also fell victim to Facebook’s censorship today. He created the event page ‘Stand With Phil and Support Free Speech’ early Thursday morning and the ability to invite people to the event was shut off almost immediately. When Huckabee went to his Facebook page to tell the public that Facebook had banned his event, Facebook contacted him and asked that he clarify the ban.
“FB would like us to clarify- the event hasn't been blocked just the ability to invite friends to join the event. So essentially the same effect but for the sake of accuracy we will split hairs for them.”
Robertson was “suspended indefinitely” from the show after his interview with GQ Magazine was made public. In the interview Robertson, who often talks about his faith on the reality show, made comments about his belief that homosexuality is a sin.
“We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty,” Said A&E in a statement. “His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely.”
In a statement to FOX411, Robertson tried to further explain that he doesn't hate any one community of people, but he stands by what he believes the Bible says.
“My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.
"However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”
Many fans of Duck Dynasty are outraged by the suspension, citing freedom of speech violations and, as so often is the case these days, they have gone to Facebook to vent their frustration and show their support. Interestingly, Facebook seems to be blind to the passionate pro-free speech climate as it places bans and limitations on pages accruing hundreds of thousands of followers who are infuriated at what they see as A&E’s censorship of Robertson.
The Wisconsin Free has contacted Facebook for comment but is still awaiting a response.
BREAKING: Is A&E In Violation of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 by Suspending Phil Robertson?
Right Scoop is reporting on comments made by talk radio king Rush Limbaugh, who says A&E is discriminating against Phil Robertson.
Yesterday GLAAD praised A&E’s firing of Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty, saying they’ve sent a strong message that discrimination is neither a Christian nor an American value. But Rush Limbaugh says that the only person who has actually been discriminated against is Phil Robertson and that GLAAD should attack A&E for discriminating against him.It’s true that if the tables were turned, the LGBT community would go ballistic. Why? Well because of this.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. SEC. 2000e-2. [Section 703]
(a) Employer practices
It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer -
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
That’s a pretty clear picture of what discrimination is (according to the language of the act). Phil Robertson’s comment revolve around his a) belief in natural sexual relationships, and b) his religious beliefs. A&E suspended him for sharing his beliefs, which appears to be a violation of the civil rights act of 1964.
Where is the left on this one? Where are the calls for investigation into A&E?
Inquiring minds want to know.

oped: Well Harry a boxer you're not...as for holding onto your Senate and Speaker job 2016 I am sure Gov Brian Sandoval will knock you out in the first sixty seconds of the first round...you are toast Harry you just don't realize it yet...as the old saying goes and you will be saying it 'Turn me over I am done'
Cue: Harry the fake boxer: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2012/09/sen-harry-reid-professionalgolden.html
Cue: Gov Brian Sandoval the challenger: http://sharlaslabyrinth.blogspot.com/2013/12/capitol-update-harry-reid-gone-in-2016.html
If Republicans and potential Democratic rivals want Harry Reid’s majority leader title, they’re going to have to knock him out of the ring, because the former boxer has no intent to relinquish his position anytime soon.
“I don’t want to do it more than eight more years,” the Nevada Democrat said in a Wednesday interview with CQ Roll Call. He even indicated that other Democrats would only get their chance to lead the caucus if they pried the title from his cold, dead hands.
Asked if Democratic Conference Secretary Patty Murray’s recent stints as Reid’s negotiator-in-chief and political guru put the Washingtonian in a position to become leader, Reid quipped, “If I drop dead? I don’t know.”
He added, “I mean, I will someday. It’s just a question of if I do it while I’m here.”
Reid is up for re-election in 2016, and he reiterated Wednesday that he intends to run. If he and his Democrats are able to hold onto power for the next eight years, Reid would be the leader for 16 years, matching the record set by the legendary Montana Democrat Mike Mansfield.
But Reid dismissed the idea that he is looking to the Mansfield record as a marker. Reid celebrated his 74th birthday earlier this month, meaning he would be into his 80s by the time his next term would end at the beginning of 2023.
But the Nevada Democrat, who has seen his fair share of tough election battles back home, seems to have plenty of fight left in him — for the political, policy and procedural dust-ups that are sure to come.
For example, Reid said he is prepared to take actions that might further erode the minority’s ability to filibuster. He would not rule out using the “nuclear option” again to change Senate rules and precedents. Just last month, Reid used the controversial procedural tactic to eliminate filibusters on most nominations.
However, he cautioned that he is not threatening to make any new changes in the immediate future.
“I hope we don’t, and I hope it’s not necessary,” Reid said, noting the increase in the number of filibusters over the past several decades. “I’m not precluding anything. It’s just according to how we get along here.”
He added, “I have no intention of changing the rules tomorrow or the next day or, you know, [in] the foreseeable future, but this is a two-way street. I think that we should start legislating and not [waste] all of our time on nominations. That’s all I’ve been wasting my time on for years here is nominations.”
But he did say that he is not willing to reverse the November filibuster rule changes, despite a robust procedural protest from the GOP side over his move to limit debate on nominees with a simple majority vote.
“I mean, having us vote to go in-and-out from executive to legislative session? To hold up just simple nominations for 30 hours?” Reid said of the tactical maneuvering that led to two all-night sessions in the Senate last week, with another such session possible Thursday into Friday.
“I just can’t understand how they think it passes the smell test and have us wait as we have for everybody. That isn’t the way we used to do things around here, and we can talk about who started it. It really doesn’t matter,” Reid said.
The interview came soon after the top two Republicans in the Senate again decried Reid’s use of the procedural tactic known as filling the amendment tree, which this week precluded senators from offering any amendments to either the budget deal passed Wednesday or the defense authorization that’s on track to pass by late Thursday evening.
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Minority Whip John Cornyn of Texas offered separate rebukes about the amendment process. While Cornyn complained about not being able to offer an amendment related to the shooting at Fort Hood, McConnell warned of what’s to come in the future.
“I’d remind my colleagues on the other side that one day they’ll find themselves in the minority again. And they should think long and hard about what they’re doing to this institution. Because the Senate is bigger than any one party or presidential administration,” McConnell said.
Reid offered an alternate explanation: He’s burning too much floor time on nominations to allow a more traditional, robust amendment process.
“They complain about no amendments? We can’t have amendments,” Reid said. “We don’t have people running these agencies.”
Reid also is in no mood to negotiate with Republicans over the debt ceiling deadline looming in February or March. McConnell said Tuesday that he “can’t imagine” that Republicans would agree to a clean debt limit increase, but Reid flatly rejected any more concessions on budget issues.
“You know what I say to them? If they feel like that, let them default on the debt, because this is not a negotiation. That’s the least we can do is pay our bills,” Reid said.
Reid also indicated that concessions on the debt ceiling could undermine the budget deal passed by the Senate Wednesday evening.
“I think that this is such a strong statement that the Congress has made that we can work together and why, why botch it up now with a[n] … illogical, tea-party-driven mentality now on let’s default on the debt?”
As for the immediate prospects of holding the majority in next year’s elections, Reid maintained his optimism Wednesday. He reiterated his insistence that the negative narrative the White House has been fighting over the Obamacare rollout and other issues is changing.
“We’re always very honed-in on the races. We feel pretty good about how things are going,” Reid said.

Saudi ready to act alone on Iran, Syria: ambassador
Washington (AFP) - The West's
policies on Iran and Syria are a "dangerous gamble" and Saudi Arabia is
prepared to act on its own to safeguard security in the region, a top
Saudi diplomat said.
"We
believe that many of the West’s policies on both Iran and Syria risk
the stability and security of the Middle East," the Saudi ambassador to
Britain, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz, wrote in a commentary
in the New York Times.
"This is a dangerous gamble, about which we cannot remain silent, and will not stand idly by," he wrote.
The
bluntly-worded warning was the latest in a series of public statements
by senior Saudi figures expressing displeasure with US and Western
diplomatic initiatives towards Syria and Iran.
Until recently, Saudi leaders rarely voiced public criticism of their Western allies in a decades-long partnership.
But
Washington's decision to pull back from military action in Syria and
its backing for an interim nuclear deal with Iran has dismayed the
oil-rich Saudi kingdom, which views Tehran as a dangerous regional
rival.
Citing Iran's backing
for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, he said "rather than
challenging the Syrian and Iranian governments, some of our Western
partners have refused to take much-needed action against them.
"The
West has allowed one regime to survive and the other to continue its
program for uranium enrichment, with all the consequent dangers of
weaponization," he wrote.
Diplomatic talks with Iran may "dilute" the West's will to confront both Damascus and Tehran, he said.
"What price is 'peace' though, when it is made with such regimes?"
s a result, Saudi Arabia "has no
choice but to become more assertive in international affairs: more
determined than ever to stand up for the genuine stability our region so
desperately needs."
The Gulf
monarchy had "global responsibilities," both political and economic, and
he said: "We will act to fulfill these responsibilities, with or
without the support of our Western partners."
In
a thinly veiled jab at US President Barack Obama, the Saudi ambassador
said that "for all their talk of 'red lines,' when it counted, our
partners have seemed all too ready to concede our safety and risk our
region’s stability."
Obama had
used the term "red lines" to warn Syria's regime against using chemical
weapons. After the regime was accused of firing chemical weapons, Obama
threatened punitive military strikes. But in the end he pursued a
diplomatic agreement in which Damascus promised to give up its lethal
arsenal of chemical agents.
The Saudi ambassador slammed the
West for its reluctance to offer decisive help to Syrian rebels, vowing
to continue support for the Free Syrian Army and the "Syrian
opposition."
Acknowledging the
threat of Al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria, he argued the best way to
counter the rise of extremists among the rebels was to support the
"champions of moderation."
President Obama to jet off this week for 17-day vacation in Hawaii over Christmas and New Year
By David Mccormack
President Obama and his family are expected to leave Washington later this week for a 17-day vacation in Hawaii.
This will be the First Family's sixth Christmas in Hawaii since he was elected president, and in keeping with tradition they are expected to spend it on the island of Kailua.
The White House announced on Friday that the Obamas will depart next week after what is expected to be a light work schedule for the president in Washington.
The president and his family traditionally spend their Christmas break in a rented private beach front residence with spectacular ocean views.
The Obama's covers the cost of the accommodation that typically costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month, but local and federal taxpayers help pay their travel and security bill which costs in the region of $1 million.
For his first three years in office, the Obamas rented a $24,500-per-week gated Plantation Estate, which offered security and privacy on the white sand beach of Kailua Bay.
Since then the Obamas have rented a few different houses on Kailuana Place, which has provoked different opinions from those who live in the area.
'It's exciting. It's really an honor to have him here, and when he's around – actually the place is super safe because we have all this security around,’ Lanette Hayashi, who lives locally, told Hawaii News Now.
'We go through two security points and so the second one, we have to get out of our car. We have to be searched ourselves, plus our car has to be completely searched,' said a woman called Madeline, who has lived on the street for more than four decades.
When the President visits, the canal running through the Kailuana Street neighborhood is off limits and is patrolled by Navy seals and a Coast Guard cutter is positioned in the bay.
It is one of the many security measures put in place, including military blockades on the beach and security checkpoints along the street where he stays.
'I understand he's the President and so he needs his security, but I'd like for him to pick next year another spot. This would be really nice,' said Madeline. 'At first it was exciting, but now it's no longer exciting. It's maddening.'
Last year, Obama was forced to cut short his vacation and fly back to Washington on the day after Christmas to resume negotiations on an emergency budget deal with Congress.
This year, Congress is on track to approve a two-year budget deal before the Christmas holiday and so he isn't scheduled to return to Washington D.C. until January 5.
Obama Administration issues Martial Law Directive
via: Whiteout Press
December 11, 2013. Washington. Bureaucrats and politicians will never use the term Martial Law. Instead, the phrase ‘continuity of government’ is substituted. In reality, they’re the same thing. Last month, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence – the head of the entire US intelligence and security apparatus – released instructions for the implementation of Martial Law in America.
Legitimate concerns vs. tyrannical dictators
History offers us two examples, both American, of why a ‘continuity of government’ program is needed. During the War of 1812, the British had burned Washington DC to the ground. The President of the United States, James Madison, was left fleeing through the woods, alone in the dark. While the first lady, Dolly Madison, was the last to leave and stood fearless against the enemy’s torches as she frantically and selflessly saved America’s most sacred national treasures.
Flash forward to the final days of the Civil War and Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Two of his three commanding Generals, Lee and Johnston, had just surrendered their armies and the majority of his country was in enemy hands. But without the consent of the people, and against the wishes of his Army, Jefferson Davis assumed the rolls of a tyrannical dictator and refused to surrender. History recalls how Davis was never able to set up his covert, authoritarian government and was apprehended while disguised as a woman attempting to evade capture.
One big difference
The above examples show why a continuity of government plan is needed by any government on any level. But there’s something frighteningly different about the above examples compared to the Bush and Obama administrations’ joint efforts today. In the past, continuity and security programs were designed to protect the federal government from take-over by a foreign power. Now, the programs appear aimed at protecting the government from a take-over by the American people.
Contrary to common misconceptions, these aren’t ‘conspiracy theories.’ The White House, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security, and the rest all publicly release many of the Orders, Directives and memos that explain exactly what will happen in the case of a national emergency. But among the thousands of documents, from the Patriot Act to EO 12333, there is a string of orders gaining national attention by civil libertarians that has ominous and fearful implications.
NSPD 51 & HSPD 20 – National Continuity Policy
On May 9, 2007, President George W. Bush signed a, ‘National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive.’ The combined document included, ‘National Security Presidential Directive 51 (NSPD 51)’ and ‘Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20 (HSPD 20).’
The first paragraph of the 2007 Presidential Directive describes its intended purpose:
‘This directive establishes a comprehensive national policy on the continuity of Federal Government structures and operations and a single National Continuity Coordinator responsible for coordinating the development and implementation of Federal continuity policies. This policy establishes "National Essential Functions," prescribes continuity requirements for all executive departments and agencies, and provides guidance for State, local, territorial, and tribal governments, and private sector organizations in order to ensure a comprehensive and integrated national continuity program that will enhance the credibility of our national security posture and enable a more rapid and effective response to and recovery from a national emergency.’
In plain speak, this Presidential Directive was President Bush’s attempt to declare himself, or the office of the President to be more specific, as the dictatorial power during any national emergency, including natural disasters, economic disasters, wars, etc.
Section 6 of the Directive describes the exact three individuals who will assume authority for the entire federal government in the event of an emergency, including all three branches of government and the nation’s military. The US President shall assume unlimited and unchallenged authority and all decision-making responsibilities. The President’s wishes will be carried out by two specific individuals – the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA).
NSPD 51/HSPD 20 specifically states:
‘The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government. In order to advise and assist the President in that function, the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (APHS/CT) is hereby designated as the National Continuity Coordinator. The National Continuity Coordinator, in coordination with the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), without exercising directive authority, shall coordinate the development and implementation of continuity policy for executive departments and agencies. The Continuity Policy Coordination Committee (CPCC), chaired by a Senior Director from the Homeland Security Council staff, designated by the National Continuity Coordinator, shall be the main day-to-day forum for such policy coordination.’

ICD 118 – Intelligence Community Continuity Program
On November 12, 2013 – less than a month ago – the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper signed, ‘Intelligence Community Directive 118.’ While most Americans mistakenly believe the NSA or the CIA wield the most power when it comes to secret, covert spy programs, the truth is they are only two of America’s sixteen spy agencies that all fall under the authority and control of one man – the Director of National Intelligence.
When President Bush signed NSPD 51/HSPD 20 in 2007, he gave himself the authority to assume one-man national rule over the entire United States. When Director of National Intelligence James Clapper signed ICD 118 last month, he created the structure and dictates by which it will happen.
As ICD 118 explains, ‘This Intelligence Community (IC) Directive (ICD) governs the implementation of NSPD-51 by the IC to ensure an integrated approach to the provision of national intelligence to national leaders under all conditions.’ The Directive just issued by National Intelligence Director Clapper seems to be a detailed outline of how his intelligence agencies plan to carry out their responsibilities in the event that the White House assumes control of the government. But there’s more.
Long term Martial Law
Perhaps the most ominous part of last month’s Intelligence Community Directive 118 was its reference to overall time frames. When most Americans imagine a national emergency, they envision a powerful storm or earthquake, with a week or two of emergency management by the federal government. A worst case scenario might include another war that may last a year or two. But America’s intelligence community is imagining something much more long term.
In detailing its roll in providing the President and national leaders with timely and accurate intelligence during a national emergency, ICD 118 promises to produce a detailed assessment of their ongoing responsibilities every two years. The document states:
‘The DNI will: a. Oversee and integrate IC continuity activities to ensure that: (1) The President, the Vice President, statutory successors, and other national leaders, as appropriate, are provided with timely, insightful, objective, and relevant national intelligence wherever they are located and in all conditions; (2) National intelligence is furnished to the National Continuity System; and (3) Sensitive Compartmented Information security across the programs and networks of the National Continuity System is appropriately managed. b. In coordination with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, produce a biennial assessment of the foreign and domestic threats to the Nation’s continuity of government, in accordance with NSPD-51.’
Summary and final question
Many Americans argue that city, county and state governments are capable of taking care of themselves during a national emergency. The federal government is needed to protect from exterior threats. But now, in addition to protecting Americans from foreign invaders, the federal government is protecting Americans from themselves. In other words, the government apparatus is protecting itself from any possible rebellion or revolution here at home, no matter how unlikely.
And while civil libertarians argue about the legality of such a unilateral power grab by the White House and the Executive Branch, others are fearfully wondering about the timing of the most recent Intelligence Directive. President Bush created the program for Martial Law in 2007. Why did America’s entire security apparatus suddenly release the details by which they will carry out Martial Law last month, six years later? Is there something more to the timing?

TransHumanism TRAILER #1 | TransHumanism Documentary
Transhumanism - This breakout documentary covers Transhumanism at it's core.
Watch the entire documentary here: http://bit.ly/TransHumanism
Are we being blindly led over a cliff? Have we opened a
sealed door; a kind of Pandora's Box, that was never
intended to be opened?
Behind closed doors scientists have breached the genetic
codes that separate the individuality of animal and plant
species.
In the area of food production, new hybrid plant species
have been scientifically engineered, with their derivative
products commonly appearing in our supermarket shelves.
But quietly, for two decades, scientists have taken the
knowledge of genetic engineering to a frightening new level;
merging animal DNA with human DNA, creating the potential
and unthinkable reality of super human non-human entities.
These developments along with their looming and terrible
consequences, held back from the public eye, are exposed
in this important and sobering film.
Saudi Ties To 9/11 Redacted From Official Inquiry
by Bob Livingston
Saudi Arabia is our friend. During their visits, President George W. Bush held hands with and kissed Saudi King Abdullah. Barack Obama still bows to Abdullah during his visits, though Obama’s spokespuppet tried to deny it.
Saudi travelers were given “trusted traveler” status in March, allowing them to be fast-tracked through customs. At the time, then-Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano said there was a “special bond between the United States and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Apparently so.
We buy oil from them. Lots of it. It’s where 18 percent of imported oil comes from.
Our friendship is so deep that when they attacked the U.S. on 9/11, we responded by attacking Afghanistan and Iraq.
What’s that you say? It was al-Qaida — a bunch of cave dwellers living in Afghanistan and funded by Osama bin Laden — that attacked the World Trade Center Twin Towers and the Pentagon.
That’s what the White House said. That’s what the mainstream media said. That’s what the “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001” said. Or did it?
Not according to two Congressmen who have read the redacted portions of the official 9/11 report. They said they were “absolutely shocked” to learn the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks. They can’t say which foreign state, though, without violating Federal law.
Representatives Walter Jones (R-N.C.) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) have proposed Congress pass a resolution asking Obama to declassify the entire report. The only one available to the public is highly redacted. There are at least 7,200 words missing; they are replaced by lines. Aside from a benign word sprinkled here and there, pages 396-422 are essentially missing.
The censorship was ordered by Bush, no doubt to cover Saudi and Israeli involvement.
In alternative media there have been dozens of reports of Saudi ties and Israeli involvement. Those are written off as “conspiracy theory.” But even the mainstream media has done a little reporting of Saudi ties that include payments, shelter and meetings between Saudi businessmen and Saudi government officials and those identified as the 9/11 hijackers. When no planes were flying in the days after the attack, Saudis were whisked out of the country on special flights.
FOX News reported the Israeli ties, but that report has been shoved down the memory hole.
Is there a cover-up? Former Senator Bob Graham, who chaired the committee that wrote the report, says there is. He has asked for case files but can’t even get a redacted page. Bill Doyle, who lost his son in the World Trade Center attacks and heads the Coalition of 9/11 Families, said it’s a “cover-up beyond belief.”
It took Jones and Lynch months of letter writing to get their copy. It seems the House intelligence panel is holding tightly to the information. Other lawmakers seem uninterested in seeing it.
As I have told you many times, the official 9/11 story is a lie. That so many people continue to accept it is the true conspiracy.
More Americans Beginning To See Government Itself As The Nation’s Worst Enemy
by Ben Bullard
Whatever Congress and President Barack Obama had in mind at the start of the President’s second term, it likely wasn’t this: A December Gallup poll reveals more Americans identify the government — not the economy, immigration, healthcare or the wealth gap, but the government itself — as the single biggest source of the Nation’s problems.
Gallup asked people a simple, open-ended question: “What do you think is the most important problem facing this country today?” Twenty-one percent of people indicated they were more dissatisfied with the government than with any other problem on a National scale.
That was the largest single group response, followed by the general economy (19 percent), healthcare (17 percent), unemployment (12 percent), the Federal deficit (9 percent), moral decline (7 percent), poverty (5 percent) and a slew of other 3 percent and 2 percent categories (immigration, war, a loss of civility, the court system).
The year began at a particularly polarizing time for this kind of poll, as a polarizing President fresh off a polarizing re-election victory was inaugurated into a second term in office. Yet an earlier iteration of the same Gallup poll reflected Americans’ disgust with government hadn’t yet overtaken other concerns when January started.
The general economy was the chief fretting point for people back in January, followed by the Federal deficit. Dissatisfaction with government started the year in third place and hummed along there for most of the year (with a momentary blip into second place as sequestration spending “cuts” began in March) — until the government pseudo-shutdown and the launch of Obamacare combined to launch public disgust into the stratosphere. The Oct. 1 Gallup poll showed 33 percent of respondents thought the government was the Nation’s biggest problem — far more than the 19 percent who still eyed the economy as the biggest fear.
Such a rapid and dramatic collapse in public trust isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement for Obama’s campaign to shelter everyone under the umbrella of government, nor is it a pat on the back to Congress, which generated an incredible amount of news for a 11-month span in which it accomplished almost nothing (other than revolutionizing Senate procedure on Obama’s behalf).
“[T]he trend,” commented Breitbart’s Frances Martel Monday, “seems to be that Americans become increasingly worried about problems when the government announces it will try to fix them — and are they truly so wrong to think, to paraphrase a great Republican, that government might not be the solution, but the problem itself?”
