Obama Overrides FBI And DHS On Terrorists Release |
Moving quickly to
release
Chinese Uighur terrorists into the United States, Obama has -- for the
second time -- overridden objections of federal agencies responsible for
national security.
The first time -- as I
reported on April 20 --
the White House overrode the inter-agency panel it created from all the
national security agencies to review all the cases of the Guantanamo Bay
prisoners. That panel found that the seventeen Uighurs -- members of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement
captured at an al-Queda training camp in Pakistan -- were too dangerous
to release in the United States.
Now -- according
to a federal agency source who requested anonymity -- the White House
has also overridden opposition to the release from both the FBI and the
Department of Homeland Security.
Beginning yesterday and
continuing today, Obama administration officials are briefing key
members of Congress on the release, which may happen as early as next
week. There apparently has been no decision on where the Uighurs will be
turned loose. Earlier reports suggested they could be released in
Alexandria, Virginia or Washington, D.C.
"I will stand with them should the
political winds shift in an ugly direction." -- Barack Hussein Obama
And guess who's going to be paying for the Uighur's relocation and
subsistence -- you are. The first Uighur terrorist cell in America
will be underwritten by the American taxpayer under the direction of the
Obama White House. |
Obama Busily Appeasing Jihadists |
"To the
Muslim world," said Barack Obama in his Inaugural Address, "we seek a
new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect." After 100
days, how’s that going?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
summed it up best, responding contemptuously to Obama’s offer to sit
down to talk without preconditions and taunting Obama for his impotence:
"We say to you that you yourselves know that you are today in a position
of weakness. Your hands are empty, and you can no longer promote
your affairs from a position of strength."
Ahmadinejad is also
turning Obama’s campaign promise against him. When Obama indicated that
he wouldn’t impose preconditions on negotiations with Iran, the Iranian
saw an opening. Now, he’s apparently demanding preconditions for the
talks by pressuring Obama for concessions on the Israel-Palestinian
conflict.
Iran’s Thug-In-Chief spoke like an aggressor who has
spotted an appeaser, and is determined to wring from him as many
concessions as possible.
How has it come to this so quickly? Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano seem to have made it a top priority of their
administration’s opening act to weaken our position with the Islamic
jihadists:
• They quietly dropped the term "war on terror."
Napolitano even went so far as to say that she preferred to refer not to
acts of "terrorism" but to "man-caused disasters" (NOW had no recorded
comment about her sexist language). Meanwhile, a DHS report on "right-wing extremists" had no trouble referring to veterans and
conservatives of all kinds as potential "terrorists." This suggested a
disquieting will to silence and demonize the political opposition, all
the while regarding the real terror threat with extraordinary myopia.
• Obama named Los Angeles Times columnist Rosa Brooks as an
advisor to the undersecretary of Defense for policy. Brooks is
venomously anti-Israel and once wrote that al Qaeda was "little more
than an obscure group of extremist thugs," and that the Bush
Administration had only imagined that it was a "vast global threat."
• He has tapped Harold Koh to become the legal adviser for the State
Department. Koh has said that he had no objection to Sharia law being
applied to "an appropriate case" in the United States.
• In a
startling breach of protocol, Obama bowed deeply to the King of Saudi
Arabia, implying an obeisance that isn’t going to free us from our
dependence upon the oil sheikhs any time soon.
• While on a trip
to Europe, he refused to visit the American Cemetery at Normandy, but
made a point of visiting a mosque in Istanbul. He expressed, in an
address to the Turkish Parliament, his "deep appreciation for the
Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the
world -- including in my own country." It’s unclear how he thinks Islam has
shaped the U.S., other than to lead to innovations in airport security. His statement did nothing but embolden the jihadists who have dedicated
their efforts to bringing Islamic law to the West.
• Obama said
also that "the United States is not and never will be at war with Islam"
-- indicating that he had no intention of addressing the ideological
challenge that Islamic jihadists present to the West, or of
acknowledging the fact that although the U.S. is not at war with Islam,
many Muslims consider Islam to be at war with the U.S.
• Obama
invited to the White House the head of the Organization of the Islamic
Conference, a 56-nation body that has declared its intention to compel
the United Nations to criminalize all criticism of Islam.
• He has
declared his determination to open negotiations with "moderate elements"
of the Taliban, despite the fact that no such people have ever been
found.
• He has declared his determination to close Guantanamo,
despite the fact that over 60 former Gitmo detainees have returned to
the jihad.
All this and more in just 100 days.
Obama apparently doesn’t know the difference between
appeasement and diplomacy. A diplomat will sell you and your nation for
a price. An appeaser will give it away without getting anything in
return.

Obama's Lie: Britain Did Torture |
During
Obama's 100th-day presser, he said he had recently read an article about
Winston Churchill during the London blitz. "Churchill said, 'We
don't torture,' when the entire British -- all of the British people
were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat," Obama said.
"And then the reason was that Churchill understood, you start taking
short-cuts, over time, that corrodes what's -- what's best in a people.
It corrodes the character of a country."
The anecdote wasn't
true. Churchill may well have said that Britain did not torture,
but British archives show clearly that captured Nazis were subjected to
harsh treatment in order to extract information during World War II.
This morning, Michael Tomasky points to this 2005 story in the Guardian
about a secret World War II detention center called the "London Cage":
The London Cage was used partly as a torture centre, inside
which large numbers of German officers and soldiers were subjected to
systematic ill-treatment. In total 3,573 men passed through the
Cage, and more than 1,000 were persuaded to give statements about war
crimes. The brutality did not end with the war, moreover: a number
of German civilians joined the servicemen who were interrogated there up
to 1948. . . .

Did Obama Receive A Fulbright Scholarship? |
Yahoo! Answers has the following
report posted as an "Open Question."
In a move certain to
fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the
group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has released copies of
President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released
today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro,
received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an
undergraduate at the school.
The transcript was released by
Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by
the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that
Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship
for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign
citizenship.
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun
that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.
Update: Here
is the same report. The International Press Association is
crediting the Associated Press (AP) as the source.
This report is
posted here, because it's popping up all over the Internet, but I'm
suspicious of it and would classify it as a rumor until
somebody posts the court documents.
In a
case brought by Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation on behalf of Ambassador
Alan Keyes, Judge Michael P. Kenny threw out
a subpoena issued to Occidental College to provide copies of Obama's
records of attendance. Now there may be another case or another
finding, but that's the last info I have.
Of course, these rumors could be put to
rest if Obama would just release his bona fides, instead of spending
more than $1 million dollars on lawyers.
According to
Politico,
"the FEC allows elected officials to use campaign funds to pay legal
fees only if the action/investigations arise as a result of their tenure
in office or campaigns."
That seems
to be a fairly
straightforward rule by the FEC.
However, Obama is illegally using campaign funds to fight the disclosure
of his college records from Occidental because they might show that he
enrolled as a foreign citizen. Why else would he hire a high-priced lawyer whose other clients
include Amazon, Starbucks, and Microsoft? His campaign has
spent almost $700,000 on just this one law firm -- and he has other
law teams actively denying the American People reasonable access to his
birth certificate and scholastic and medical records.

Marking Every Front Door In America |
Well, now
we
know why ACORN got 5 Billion$ from the Stimulus Bill, and why the
White House took control of the US Census Bureau. A perfect excuse to
start tagging homes in America for the next Census scheduled for 2010,
though it directly violates Sec. 223, Title 13, U.S. Code, Chapter 7,
Subtitle 2 which provides the Fed NO authority to GPS paint your front
door. It is in direct violation of the Constitution and no one is doing
anything to stop it.
ACORN signed on as a national partner with
the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment
of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count
every person in the United States -- currently believed to be more than
306 million people. But the count doesn’t take place until 2010. This is
April 2009.
No imagination is required to think up a whole
laundry list of evil that could be done with a nationwide GPS grid of
coordinate’s markers painted on every private home across the country. But I was having trouble thinking up one good reason for it, even one
legitimate use that would justify what must be a very expensive
undertaking.
According to one of the Census workers, who
spoke
with me on condition of anonymity, they must GPS mark the coordinates "within 40 ft of every front door" in America and they are supposed to
complete that mission nation wide, within 90 days, by the end of July
2009.
The workers were not told why they were GPS marking every front
door. But a supervisor is sent out to follow them door-to-door, to make
certain that no door is left unmarked. Every door will be marked by one
employee, and then checked by a follow-up supervisor.
So, I had
to ask, why?
Why does the Obama administration need or want the
latitude and longitude coordinates for every home in America? Why the
rush to GPS paint every home in the next 90 days? Why must the marker be
within 40 ft of every front door? For what possible purpose does the Fed
need GPS coordinates for every home, and under what authority do they
have the right? Census workers, whom I asked, had the same holy-crap
look on their faces that I had by then.
Best I can tell, the Fed
has NO authority whatsoever, to paint the front door of every private
residence in America. Still, that is exactly what they are doing. Now,
the trillion dollar question is, why?"
Obama’s interest in an
ACORN controlled 2010 Census, for the purpose of redistricting to the
advantage of Democrats before the 2010 mid-term elections, comes as NO
shock from a regime known for their heavy handed Rules for Radicals
political strategies.
But what does this have to do with GPS marking
every home in the country? |
