&lt;h6&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignright&quot; src=&quot;http://civilusdefendus.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/4-stages-graphic.gif?w=225&amp;amp;h=120&quot; height=&quot;80&quot; title=&quot;4 Stages graphic&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STAGE 1: INFILTRATION&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Muslims
 begin moving to non-Muslim countries in increasing numbers and the 
beginning of cultural conflicts are visible, though often subtle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;First migration wave to non-Muslim “host” country.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Appeal for humanitarian tolerance from the host society.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attempts to portray Islam as a peaceful &amp;amp; Muslims as victims of 
misunderstanding and racism (even though Islam is not a ‘race’).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High Muslim birth rate in host country increase Muslim population.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mosques used to spread Islam and dislike of host country &amp;amp; culture.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Calls to criminalize “Islamophobia” as a hate crime.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Threatened legal action for perceived discrimination.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Offers of “interfaith dialogue” to indoctrinate non-Muslims.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
How many nations are suffering from Islamic infiltration?&amp;nbsp;One? A 
handful? Nearly every nation? The Islamic ‘leadership” of the Muslim 
Brotherhood and others wish to dissolve each nation’s sovereignty and 
replace it with&amp;nbsp;the global imposition of Islamic sharia law. Sharia law,
 based on the koran, sira and hadith, condemns liberty and forbids 
equality and is inconsistent with the laws of all Western nations. As 
the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt; “The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations
 from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STAGE 2:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; CONSOLIDATION OF POWER&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
Muslim immigrants and host country converts continue demands for 
accommodation in employment, education, social services, financing&amp;nbsp;and 
courts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proselytizing increases; Establishment and Recruitment of Jihadi cells.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Efforts to convert alienated segments of the population to Islam.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Revisionist efforts to Islamize history.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Efforts to destroy historic evidence that reveal true Islamism.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased anti-western propaganda and psychological warfare.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Efforts to recruit allies who share similar goals (communists, anarchists).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attempts to indoctrinate children to Islamist viewpoint.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Increased efforts to intimidate, silence and eliminate non-Muslims.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Efforts to introduce blasphemy and hate laws in order to silence critics.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Continued focus on enlarging Muslim population by increasing Muslim births and immigration.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use of charities to recruit supporters and fund jihad.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Covert efforts to bring about the destruction of host society from within.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Development of Muslim political base in non-Muslim host society.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Islamic Financial networks fund political growth, acquisition of land.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Highly visible assassination of critics aimed to intimidate opposition.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tolerance of non-Muslims diminishes.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Greater demands to adopt strict Islamic conduct.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clandestine amassing of weapons and explosives in hidden locations.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Overt disregard/rejection of non-Muslim society’s legal system, culture.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Efforts to undermine and destroy power base of non-Muslim religions including and especially Jews and Christians.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
Is there a pattern here? Theo van Gogh is murdered in the Netherlands
 for ‘insulting’ Islam; the Organization of the Islamic Conference 
demands ‘anti-blasphemy’ laws through the United Nations; France is set 
afire regularly by ‘youths’ (read Muslims); the rise of (dis-) honor 
killings…holocaust denial…anti-Semitism…deception re the tenets of 
Islam; hatred toward Christians and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists.&amp;nbsp; The 
pattern for all to see is the rise of Islamic intolerance and the 
covert/cultural jihad to remake host societies into sharia-compliant 
worlds – to remove host sovereignty and replace it with Islamic sharia 
law.&amp;nbsp; Sharia law that condemns earthly liberty and individual freedom, 
that forbids equality among faiths and between the sexes, that rejects 
the concept of nations outside the global house of Islam, that of dar 
al-Islam.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STAGE 3: OPEN WAR w/ LEADERSHIP &amp;amp; CULTURE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
Open violence to impose Sharia law and associated cultural 
restrictions; rejection of host government, subjugation of other 
religions and customs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Intentional efforts to undermine the host government &amp;amp; culture.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Acts of barbarity to intimidate citizens and foster fear and submission.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Open and covert efforts to cause economic collapse of the society.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All opposition is challenged and either eradicated or silenced.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mass execution of non-Muslims.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Widespread ethnic cleansing by Islamic militias.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Rejection and defiance of host society secular laws or culture.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Murder of “moderate” Muslim intellectuals who don’t support Islamization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Destruction of churches, synagogues and other non-Muslim institutions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Women are restricted further in accordance with Sharia law.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Large-scale destruction of population, assassinations, bombings.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Toppling of government and usurpation of political power.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Imposition of Sharia law&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
The website &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;www.thereligionofpeace.com&lt;/a&gt;
 keeps track of the number of violent jihad attacks as best it can. The 
site lists more than 14,000 attacks since September 2001. It is worth a 
visit. What is occurring, however, that is likely inestimable are events
 where muslims are bullied by other muslims for not being “muslim 
enough,” where non-Muslims are intimidated into doing or not doing what 
they desire, where remnant populations are in a death spiral simply for 
being non-muslim in a predominantly muslim area. Christians, Jews, 
Hindus, Buddhists Animists and Atheists meet with death, property 
destruction or confiscation, forced conversion, rape, excessive taxation
 (the jizya), enslavement, riotous mobs and various other forms of islam
 (in-) justice at the hands of muslims in Sudan, Philippines, Kenya, 
Malaysia, India, etc.&amp;nbsp; And let us not forget ‘death to Apostates’ the 
world over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h6&gt;
&lt;b&gt;STAGE 4: Totalitarian ISLAMIC “THEOCRACY”&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;
Islam becomes the only religious-political-judicial-cultural ideology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sharia becomes the “law of the land.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All non-Islamic human rights cancelled.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enslavement and genocide of non-Muslim population.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Freedom of speech and the press eradicated.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;All religions other than Islam are forbidden and destroyed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Destruction of all evidence of non-Muslim culture, populations and symbols in country (Buddhas, houses of worship, art, etc).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
The House of Islam (“peace”), dar al-Islam, includes those nations 
that have submitted to Islamic rule, to the soul crushing, 
liberty-condemning, discriminatory law of Sharia. The rest of the world 
in in the House of War, dar al-harb, because it does not submit to 
Sharia, and exists in a state of rebellion or war with the will of 
‘Allah.’ No non-Muslim state or its citizens are “innocent,” and remain 
viable targets of war for not believing in ‘Allah.’ The Christian, 
Jewish, Coptic, Hindu and Zoroastrian peoples of world have suffered 
under subjugation for centuries. The Dhimmi-esque are forbidden to 
construct houses of worship or repair existing ones, economically 
crippled by the heavy jizya (tax), socially humiliated, legally 
discriminated against, criminally targeted and generally kept in a 
permanent state of weakness, fear and vulnerability by Islamic 
governments.&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that forced conversions (Egypt) and slavery 
(Sudan) are still reported. Homosexuals have been hung in the public 
square in Iran. Young girls are married to old men. Apostates are 
threatened with death. “Honor” killings are routine. Women are legally 
second-class citizens, though Muslim males insist they are “treated 
better” than in the West. These more obvious manifestations may distract
 from some less obvious ones such as the lack of intellectual inquiry in
 science, narrow scope of writing, all but non-existent art and music, 
sexual use and abuse of youth and women, and the&amp;nbsp;disregard for personal 
fulfillment, joy and wonder. Look into the eyes of a recently married 12
 year old girl&amp;nbsp;to see the consequence of the moral deprivation spawned 
by Islam.&lt;br /&gt;

If you missed the news coverage we’re here to fill you in.&lt;br /&gt;

A neighborhood watch man, an adult carrying a concealed weapon, shot and killed an unarmed teenage boy and was just &lt;a href=&quot;http://rochester.ynn.com/content/top_stories/490926/jury-finds-roderick-scott-not-guilty/&quot;&gt;found not-guilty&lt;/a&gt; by a jury after two days of deliberations.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
“I just want to say thank you to the people who believed 
in me, who stood by me,” [the shooter] said following the verdict. “I 
still have my regrets for the [young boy’s] family; it’s still an 
unfortunate situation for them. I am happy that at least this chapter is
 over.”&lt;br /&gt;

As deliberations dragged on over two days and the jury asked for 
testimony to be read back, [the shooter] admits he didn’t know how it 
would all turn out.&lt;br /&gt;

“I was nervous of course,” he said. “You never know what direction 
this whole thing is going to turn, so I have no idea. But it worked out 
and I feel that justice (was) served today.”&lt;br /&gt;

[The boy’s] family members say justice wasn’t served. They say [he] 
was murdered in cold blood, that he’d never been in trouble and [the 
shooter] acted as judge, jury and executioner.&lt;br /&gt;

“The message is that we can all go out and get guns and feel anybody 
that we feel is threatening us and lie about the fact,” said [the boy’s]
 father. “My son never threatened anybody. He was a gentle child, his 
nature was gentle, he was a good person and he was never, ever arrested 
for anything, and has never been in trouble. He was 16 years and four 
months old, and he was slaughtered.”&lt;br /&gt;

[The shooter] says he acted in self defense when he confronted [the boy]…&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Perhaps the reason you missed the story is because here are pictures of the shooter and the victim…&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://joeforamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Scott-Roderick.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Scott Roderick&quot; class=&quot;size-full wp-image-5509 alignleft&quot; height=&quot;203&quot; src=&quot;http://joeforamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Scott-Roderick.jpg&quot; width=&quot;270&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://joeforamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Dead-White-Kid.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dead White Kid&quot; class=&quot;alignright wp-image-5510&quot; height=&quot;203&quot; src=&quot;http://joeforamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Dead-White-Kid.jpg&quot; width=&quot;270&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

The one on the TOP, in the hoodie, is Roderick Scott, the shooter. The one on the BOTTOM&amp;nbsp; is the dead kid, Christopher Cervini.&lt;br /&gt;

I’m shocked you missed President Obama’s statement when he found out 
about the shooting, “If the white half of me had a son he would have 
looked like Christopher Cervini.”&lt;br /&gt;

You might have even missed the uproar surrounding the Department of 
Justice having their Community Relations Services group in Rochester, NY
 organize demonstrations of white upstate New Yorkers demanding a 
special prosecutor be appointed to investigate this cold blooded murder 
of a gentle white boy by a black man wearing a hoodie.&lt;br /&gt;

Actually, I’m not shocked that you missed all that news since it 
wasn’t really news outside of Rochester, NY. Here’s a summary of what 
happened.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
Scott says he acted in self defense when he confronted 
Cervini and two others saying they were stealing from neighbors cars. He
 told them he had a gun and ordered them to freeze and wait for police.&lt;br /&gt;

Scott says he shot Cervini twice when the victim charged toward him yelling he was going to get Scott.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Based on what I’ve been able to find, the jury reached the correct 
verdict in Scott’s case just as they did in the Zimmerman trial.&lt;br /&gt;

I can understand how Christopher Cervini’s dad could say what he said
 just like I can understand how Trayvon Martin’s parents can say what 
they say. It’s called “grief”. It’s also called “denial”.&lt;br /&gt;

I also understand why we haven’t heard a word from President Obama, 
Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP or anything about expanded 
investigations from the Department of Justice.&lt;br /&gt;

That is called “hypocrisy”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
WHERE ARE YOU dear leader &amp;nbsp; &quot;ODUMBO&quot; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; SHOW YOU WHITE SIDE TO ALL.................. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-large;&quot;&gt;you orally flatulent &amp;nbsp; raciest buffoon &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;entry-content&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;entry-meta single-meta-above-title&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;date&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/07/obamas-executive-ordered-study-on-gun-violence-slaps-him-in-the-face/&quot; rel=&quot;bookmark&quot; title=&quot;4:13 pm&quot;&gt;&lt;time class=&quot;entry-date&quot; datetime=&quot;2013-07-05T16:13:40+00:00&quot; pubdate=&quot;pubdate&quot;&gt;July 5, 2013&lt;/time&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; by &lt;span class=&quot;author&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://freedomoutpost.com/author/tim/&quot; rel=&quot;author&quot;&gt;Tim Brown&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you recall, back on January 16, 2013, standing with little 
children, Barack Hussein Obama tried to pull a fast one on the American 
people and issued &lt;a href=&quot;http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/01/obamas-executive-action-23-new-directives-with-the-stroke-of-a-pen/&quot;&gt;23 executive orders&lt;/a&gt; pertaining to gun control.  Among those was number 14: &lt;em&gt;Issue a Presidential Memorandum directing the Centers for Disease Control to research the causes and prevention of gun violence&lt;/em&gt;. Well friends, that study did happen and it destroyed Obama’s position on guns and gun violence.
&lt;br /&gt;

Well like all things in government, the people tasked with the study 
simply directed the study to the Institute of Medicine and National 
Research Council.  However, many people have not heard about the report.
  Could it be that much of the information in the report didn’t quite 
“jive” with Obama and the anti-gun crowd?
&lt;br /&gt;

Actually, that’s exactly what it did.  In fact, not only did they not
 hold any water for Obama’s claims regarding gun violence, it poured it 
on him, pretty much backing every Second Amendment lover’s argument that
 has been made.
&lt;br /&gt;

The report, titled &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=18319&amp;amp;page=R1&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Priorities for Research to Reduce the Threat of Firearm-related Violence&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which identifies the particular topics of gun violence to be researched over the next few years, made the point that &lt;strong&gt;the majority of deaths that take place annually by the use of a firearm are not related to crime, but to suicide.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

“Between the years 2000-2010 firearm-related suicides significantly 
outnumbered homicides for all age groups, annually accounting for 61 
percent of the more than 335,600 people who died from firearms related 
violence in the United States,” reads the study.
&lt;br /&gt;

That’s obviously not a good thing.  However, it indicates that many 
Americans suffer from both a spiritual and mental health issue.  With 
that said, let’s not then run to government to deal with mental health 
issues.  I’ve warned before and I’ll warn you now:  That would be a very
 bad move.
&lt;br /&gt;

Here’s the great news in the report though.  It points out that 
virtually every study which “assessed the effect of actual defensive 
uses of guns” discovered the same thing.  Those using their guns for 
self-defense “consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime 
victims compared with victims who used other self-protective 
strategies.”
&lt;br /&gt;

Oh and remember how we’ve been told by the Obama administration and 
the socialist gun grabbers that guns aren’t used that often in 
self-defense?  Well, the report shows that isn’t true either.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;“Defensive uses of guns by crime victims is a 
common occurrence, although the exact number remains disputed (Cook and 
Ludwig, 1996; Kleck, 2001a),” the study reads.  “Almost all national 
survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at 
least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual
 uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year (Kleck,
 2001a), in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving 
firearms in 2008 (BJS, 2010).”
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Yeah, not as uncommon as the propagandists would have us believe.
&lt;br /&gt;

In all fairness, the report does point out that “some scholars point 
to radically lower estimate of only 108,000 annual defensive uses based 
on the National Crime Victimization Survey (Cook et al., 1997).”
&lt;br /&gt;

While the report does maintain that this will always be a controversy
 in the field, the study does state that “the estimate of 3 million 
defensive uses per year is based on an extrapolation from a small number
 of responses taken from more than 19 national surveys,” while the 
“estimate of 108,000 is difficult to interpret because respondents were 
not asked specifically about defensive gun use.”
&lt;br /&gt;

“A different issue is whether defensive uses of guns, however 
numerous or rare they may be, are effective in preventing injury to the 
gun-wielding crime victim,” reads the report.
&lt;br /&gt;

The report does have a downside.  It indicates that we have the most 
firearm related deaths of any western nation.  However, the good news is
 that the study claims that is rapidly declining.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;“Overall crime rates have declined in the past 
decade, and violent crimes, including homicides specifically, have 
declined in the past 5 years.” However, “Between 2005 and 2010, the 
percentage of firearm-related violent victimizations remained generally 
stable.”
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;
Additionally, the report goes on to inform about other declines.  
“Firearm-related death rates for youth ages 15 to 19 declined from 1994 
to 2009,” the report continues, adding that accidental shootings were 
declining as well.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
The report also states that “Unintentional firearm-related deaths 
have steadily declined during the past century. The number of 
unintentional deaths due to firearm-related incidents accounted for less
 than 1 percent of all unintentional fatalities in 2010.”
&lt;br /&gt;

While everyone recognizes that there will always be crime and 
violence and yes, even gun violence, the fact of the matter is that gun 
control is not the answer, except to make sure you control your own gun 
and hit your target.  For sure there will be more data added as the 
study continues, but already what they do have from the past indicates 
something that is completely opposite from what this administration has 
presented and there is no doubt that any information that comes out of 
the study will be thoroughly scrutinized.
&lt;br /&gt;

The report also referenced video game violence to see how it might 
contribute to gun violence, but said that more research would need to be
 done and no research to the present has been conclusive.
&lt;br /&gt;

Anyone wondering why Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Dianne Feinstein 
aren’t running to the state run media to air out this little report?  
It’s because they have egg on their face.  &lt;br /&gt;

One last question that is on my mind is, how much did will this study end up costing the American taxpayer?&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Like
 all organisms the liberal bigot is an evolved creature, although the 
character traits which made him – hypocrisy, the wish to create the 
world in his own image, paternalism, a sense of moral superiority, a 
desire to gratuitously interfere with the lives of others, false 
humility, self-indulgent masochism and a pathological refusal to accept 
evidence which contradicts emotio&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;nally 
based beliefs – are as old as civilised man. Those who know their 
history will readily recognize the basic personality of the liberal 
bigot, for it is that of the Puritan.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Very primitive types 
existed in the ancient world – Plato&#39;s Socrates has much of the liberal 
bigot&#39;s smugness and ability to ignore the facts of human nature – but 
it was not until the eighteenth century that creatures displaying most 
of the modern liberal bigot&#39;s general features emerged in the shape of 
men such as William Wilberforce and Jeremy Bentham.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; But 
Wilberforce and Bentham still had some moral sense and it is Shelley who
 perhaps first displays the peculiar humbugging amorality of the modern 
liberal bigot with his continual prating about his love for &#39;mankind&#39;, 
whilst behaving abominably to all and sundry.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The nineteen 
thirties saw the first indubitably modern liberal bigot – described by 
Friedrich Hayek after he found one called Harold Laski at the London 
Schoool of Economics. To be sure Laski did not have certain of the 
detailed traits associated with the liberal bigot of our time – for 
example the hatred of academic success in the working class – nor did he
 possess the instinct to dissemble his paternalism. But he had that 
quintessential quality of the fully developed liberal bigot, an intellectualized pseudo-morality or, to put it more exactly, ethical 
rules without moral context.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Since the discovery of Laski, 
liberal bigots have become increasingly common and they are now a very 
widely spread pest. They are particularly fond of habitats such as 
politics, the arts, universities, the media and the social services. 
They can be found in all Western societies, but nowhere do the creatures
 have such success as in the Anglo-Saxon world, where they have captured
 political control of their societies.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot&#39;s 
ideological and psychological starting point is the fantasy, which he 
maintains in the face of all the evidence, that man is a generally 
malleable creature who can be changed by social engineering to create a 
world fit for liberal bigots; although in so thinking the liberal bigot 
misunderstands his own psychology for he would find such a place 
supremely uncongenial. No more would he be able to posture in the public
 eye because there would be no matters occasioning expressions of 
liberal bigot moral outrage or excuses for paternalistic action. Even 
more alarmingly, in a realized liberal bigot society, he might be forced
 to match his behavior to his words. However, he may rest easy in his 
bed for such a world is but fit for dreams.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot 
has but one general principle, but what a principle it is, being so 
all-embracing that no other is needed. He holds as an article of faith 
that no discrimination should be made between human beings, regardless 
of man&#39;s natural inclinations and Nature&#39;s distinction by sex, sexual 
inclination, race, colour, culture, class, talent, intelligence, 
education, personality, physical condition and age – unless, of course, 
the person judged is female, homosexual, non-Caucasian, poor, stupid, 
uneducated, old or crippled. Then the liberal bigot may discriminate to 
his heart&#39;s content, although in the weasel-worded manner of Lenin&#39;s 
&#39;democratic centralism&#39; he calls it &#39;positive discrimination&#39; and thinks
 it not in the least &#39;judgemental&#39;. This he has institutionalized in a 
totalitarian system called political correctness.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Above all 
things the liberal bigot delights in what he calls &#39;racism&#39;, which in 
practice means the white man defending his own interests or extolling 
his own culture. This the liberal bigot has raised to the status of the 
great modern blasphemy. Just as once the Holy Office caused men to be 
burned for denying the literal truth of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fbPhotosPhotoCaption&quot; data-ft=&quot;{&amp;quot;type&amp;quot;:45}&quot; id=&quot;fbPhotoSnowliftCaption&quot; tabindex=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;hasCaption&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_exposed_root text_exposed&quot; id=&quot;id_51c673486f1ff8403450823&quot;&gt;

things the liberal bigot delights in what he calls &#39;racism&#39;, which in 
practice means the white man defending his own interests or extolling 
his own culture. This the liberal bigot has raised to the status of the 
great modern blasphemy. Just as once the Holy Office caused men to be 
burned for denying the literal truth of transubstantiation, so just as 
surely does the liberal bigot wish to immolate those who distinguish 
amongst their fellows on the most natural grounds of all, a sense of 
kinship, of shared culture and experience. So central is this tenet to 
modern liberal bigotry that the liberal bigot has moved in the past 
forty years from believing that racial discrimination is bad to 
asserting that multiracial societies are a positive good.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The 
fact that such societies always experience considerable friction between
 their various racial components is not, of course, taken as evidence by
 the liberal bigot that he is wrong, but as ammunition for promoting 
more restrictions on the white population and further reason for 
indulging in positive orgies of European cultural denigration.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 
At some level the liberal bigot realises that his creed is at odds with 
reality. So, following in the footsteps of religious intellectuals such 
as Aquinas and political theorists such as Marx, he creates an elaborate
 fictional world which is baldly represented as &#39;natural&#39; or &#39;right&#39;, 
and reality &#39;unnatural&#39; and &#39;wrong&#39;, even though intellectually he would
 deny any objective morality or measure of cultural worth.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Like
 all those who adopt intellectually indefensible ideologies, the liberal
 bigot makes disbelief a heresy and punishes it with a gamut of 
sanctions which range from simple expressions of distaste through 
exclusion from public life to the passing of laws threatening fines and 
imprisonment for those who express the &#39;wrong&#39; opinions.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 
Morality exercises a peculiar difficulty for the liberal bigot for he is
 caught between believing in moral relativism and a desire to impose his
 own standards on the world, for which he cannot, necessarily, have any 
absolute sanction. This dilemma is partially solved by the development 
of an amoral personality and by using doublethink to hide the 
intellectual contradiction.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot decries 
&#39;nationalism&#39; but he is also a firm advocate of cultural expression, 
provided, of course, that the people concerned are within his approved 
ideological circle of deserving causes. That a sense of cultural worth 
and identity is practically indistinguishable from nationalism the 
liberal bigot cannot accept, so he represents the two as opposites. When
 pressed with disloyalty, he often makes a spurious distinction between 
patriotism and nationalism and says he is &#39;proud&#39; of such things as 
Britain&#39;s history of providing sanctuary for refugees, which trait, when
 translated to the nature and level of modern population movements, is 
of course of the greatest possible disadvantage to the receiving 
country. If he is in the media he will crudely mock the idea of national
 feeling by being absurdly jingoistic in trivial matters as in the 
statement: &quot;The space shuttle took off today. The plastic wrappers for 
the food were British.&quot; His hysterical laughter at any suggestion that 
Churchill or Wellington might be worthy of respect changes to a 
childlike reverence when his thoughts turn to such vicious charlatans as
 Che Guevara.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot wishes to enjoy the material 
wealth, physical security and intellectual tolerance of the advanced 
civilisation in which he lives, whilst decrying all the institutions and
 habits which have produced this happy state. He publicly laments such 
things as poverty, but he reacts most strongly to suggestions that his 
personal wealth should be expended on those causes supposedly dear to 
his heart – it is to the public purse that the liberal bigot looks, 
first, second and last. He extols the virtues of &#39;working class&#39; or 
&#39;ethnic&#39; customs and values, but takes good care to avoid contact with 
unreconstructed members of such groups by living well away from or 
cocooning himself within a gentrified part of their areas.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In 
truth, the liberal bigot has little knowledge of the groups whom he 
purports to champion. Loving humanity in the mass, he finds their 
individual reality at odds with his ideology and personal inclinations. 
Even worse, he cannot but suspect that the downtrodden prole or black 
does not take him seriously, that in some curious way he is patronised 
by the very people he imagines desperately need his help. Now if there 
is one thing which enrages the liberal bigot above all others, it is not
 being taken seriously. While uttering a great deal of cant about how 
much he is against snobbery, how he is just a common man no different 
from anyone else in the street, he is mortally offended when he is taken
 at his word.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot decries privilege but excepts 
it eagerly when the beneficiary is himself or other liberal bigots. How 
cleverly he creates jobs and status for those of a like mind. He is 
always pushing for more, and better paid, social workers, teachers and 
race relations operatives, whom he constantly refers to as 
&#39;professionals&#39;. Indeed, on the question of formal status he can be 
decidedly touchy. For one who supposedly embraces egalitarianism this is
 rather strange, but then not so odd when his propensity for hypocrisy 
is considered, for there is nothing he likes so much as having his cake 
and eating it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The liberal bigot is the enemy of social 
opportunity for all but his like-minded fellows. The happy recipient of 
social and educational opportunities which permit him to enter the magic
 circle of liberal bigotry, his voice is always to be heard berating the
 value of such things for what he calls &#39;the underprivileged&#39;. To this 
end he speaks of the worth of &#39;working class&#39; and &#39;ethnic&#39; cultures 
which, of course, cannot be preserved if &#39;middle class&#39; values are 
foisted upon their members. And this is scarcely to be wondered at, for 
the liberal bigot is essentially undemocratic. A politically 
sophisticated and educated working class capable of effectively 
challenging liberal bigot ideas is the last thing the liberal bigot 
wants. Besides, without them who would he have to patronise so superbly?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 The self-conscious masochism of the liberal bigot knows no bounds. Like
 the medieval Christian who cried &quot;I am the humblest of men&quot;, he commits
 the sin of pride in a peculiarly distasteful manner as he seeks 
approbation under the guise of self-denigration. How diligently he vies 
with others to prove that his society is the guiltiest of colonial and 
cultural oppression; how relentlessly he denigrates his own people&#39;s 
cultural and intellectual achievements.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What will be the future
 of the liberal bigot? Like the nautilus with its ever increasing 
spiral, the liberal bigot continues to evolve regardless of specific 
advantage. He acknowledges no sense of belonging or cultural 
indebtedness, whilst exhibiting a truly unthinking arrogance in his 
belief that no matter what he does or what cause he supports, his own 
person will be inviolate, both intellectually and materially.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 
In fact, the liberal bigot exhibits the classic behaviour of the 
parasite. He enjoys benefits gained at the expense of the host, in this 
case Anglo-Saxon society. But parasites can only be successful in the 
long run if they do not so weaken the host that it is eventually unable 
to support them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Consequently, the liberal bigot is unlikely to
 survive in his present form for very long because he shows no capacity 
for controlling his voracious appetite for incontinent abuse of his 
environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;, so just as 
surely does the liberal bigot wish to immolate those who distinguish 
amongst their fellows on the most natural grounds of all, a sense of 
kinship, of shared culture and experience. So central is this tenet to 
modern liberal bigotry that the liberal bigot has moved in the past 
forty years from believing that racial discrimination is bad to

the liberal bigot is essentially undemocratic. A politically 
sophisticated and educated working class capable of effectively 
challenging liberal bigot ideas is the last thing the liberal bigot 
wants. Besides, without them who would he have to patronize so superbly?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 The self-conscious masochism of the liberal bigot knows no bounds. Like
 the medieval Christian who cried &quot;I am the humblest of men&quot;, he commits
 the sin of pride in a peculiarly distasteful manner as he seeks 
approbation under the guise of self-denigration. How diligently he vies 
with others to prove that his society is the guiltiest of colonial and 
cultural oppression; how relentlessly he denigrates his own people&#39;s 
cultural and intellectual achievements.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; What will be the future
 of the liberal bigot? Like the nautilus with its ever increasing 
spiral, the liberal bigot continues to evolve regardless of specific 
advantage. He acknowledges no sense of belonging or cultural 
indebtedness, whilst exhibiting a truly unthinking arrogance in his 
belief that no matter what he does or what cause he supports, his own 
person will be inviolate, both intellectually and materially.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 
In fact, the liberal bigot exhibits the classic behavior of the 
parasite. He enjoys benefits gained at the expense of the host, in this 
case Anglo-Saxon society. But parasites can only be successful in the 
long run if they do not so weaken the host that it is eventually unable 
to support them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Consequently, the liberal bigot is unlikely to
 survive in his present form for very long because he shows no capacity 
for controlling his voracious appetite for incontinent abuse of his 
environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,&#39;serif&#39;;&quot;&gt;When John F. Kennedy delivered his “Ich Bin Ein Berliner” speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate on June 26, 1963, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationaljournal.com/whitehouse/obama-s-turbulent-european-vacation-20130619&quot;&gt;450,000 people flocked to hear him&lt;/a&gt;.
 Fifty years later a far more subdued invitation-only crowd of 4,500 
showed up to hear Barack Obama speak at the same location in Berlin. As&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationaljournal.com/whitehouse/obama-s-turbulent-european-vacation-20130619&quot;&gt; The National Journal noted&lt;/a&gt;,
 “he didn’t come away with much, winning just a smattering of applause 
from a crowd that was one-hundredth the size of JFK’s,” and far smaller 
than the 200,000 boisterous Germans who had listened to his 2008 address
 as a presidential candidate. JFK had a clear message when he came to 
Berlin a half century ago – the free world must stand up to Communist 
tyranny. 24 years later, President Reagan stood in the same spot 
famously calling on the Soviets to “tear down this wall.” Reagan’s 
speech was a seminal moment that ushered in the downfall of an evil 
empire, and gave hope to tens of millions of people behind the Iron 
Curtain. It was a display of strength and conviction by the leader of 
the free world, sending an unequivocal message of solidarity with those 
who were fighting for freedom in the face of a monstrous totalitarian 
ideology. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,&#39;serif&#39;;&quot;&gt;In stark contrast to that of his presidential predecessors, Barack Obama’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2013/06/19/remarks-president-obama-brandenburg-gate-berlin-germany&quot;&gt;message on Wednesday &lt;/a&gt;was
 pure mush, another clichéd “citizens of the world” polemic with little 
substance. This was a speech big on platitudes and hopeless idealism, 
while containing much that was counter-productive for the world’s 
superpower. Ultimately it was little more than a laundry list of Obama’s
 favourite liberal pet causes, including cutting nuclear weapons, 
warning about climate change, putting an end to all wars, shutting 
Guantanamo, ending global poverty, and backing the European Project. It 
was a combination of staggering naiveté, the appeasement of America’s 
enemies and strategic adversaries, and the championing of more big 
government solutions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,&#39;serif&#39;;&quot;&gt;There
 was little in this speech that advances US interests, or makes the 
world a safer place. Completely missing from Obama’s address was a call 
for the West to stand up to the rising threat of Islamist militancy, the
 defence of Christians facing huge levels of persecution and 
intimidation in the Middle East, strong condemnation of Iran and North 
Korea’s nuclear ambitions, and any criticism of growing authoritarianism
 in Russia. The president paid lip service to the NATO alliance, which 
has proved critical in preserving Europe’s security for over 60 years, 
but made no call for the alliance to be strengthened in the wake of 
waning support and investment in Europe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;,&#39;serif&#39;;&quot;&gt;President
 Obama’s words may well have pleased his German government hosts, 
content to see a United States whose ambitions as a military power have 
been significantly clipped since George W. Bush left office in 2009. But
 Barack Obama underscored again why he is no JFK or Ronald Reagan. In 
front of the Brandenburg Gate, Obama sounded more like the president of 
the European Commission than the leader of the free world. It is never a
 good sign when a US president parrots the language of a Brussels 
bureaucrat when he is supposed to be a champion of freedom. Obama’s 
distinctly unimpressive speech in Berlin was another dud from a 
floundering president whose leadership abroad is just as weak as it is 
at h&lt;strong&gt;ome&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

 National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned 
assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a 
Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources 
estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government
 forces were compelled to withdraw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared 
that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has 
links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the 
extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal 
revenue offices. The governor, who described the group&#39;s organizers as 
&quot;criminals,&quot; issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of
 any individual who has interfered with the government&#39;s efforts to 
secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal 
followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over 
recently outlawed assault weapons.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Gage issued a ban on 
military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This 
decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and 
military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible 
confiscation of illegal arms.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; One government official, speaking
 on condition of anonymity, pointed out that &quot;none of these people would
 have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over 
their weapons voluntarily.&quot; Government troops initially succeeded in 
confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However,
 troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with 
resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off 
regarding the government&#39;s plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington 
&#39;s town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the 
government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to
 their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was 
reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians 
were killed in the ensuing exchange.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Ironically, the local 
citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the 
civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from 
surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national 
joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor 
also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and 
leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul 
Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as &quot;ringleaders&quot; of 
the extremist faction, remain at large.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; . . . And this, people, is how the American Revolution began .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; April 20, 1775   ~JH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

      Hey! How’s it going? I’m all right. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;My job is so shitty I wish I could &lt;strong&gt;overthrow&lt;/strong&gt; my boss. It’s like this &lt;strong&gt;oppressive regime&lt;/strong&gt; where only &lt;strong&gt;true believers&lt;/strong&gt; in his management techniques will stay around. I work &lt;strong&gt;marathon&lt;/strong&gt;-length hours and he’s made all these changes that have made it the worst architecture firm to work at in &lt;strong&gt;Manhattan&lt;/strong&gt;. Like he moved the office to &lt;strong&gt;the Financial District&lt;/strong&gt; and fired my assistant. She was the only one who knew where the &lt;strong&gt;blueprints&lt;/strong&gt; were! &lt;strong&gt;I need access to those blueprints to complete my job!&lt;/strong&gt;
 F my life, right? And he keeps trying to start all these new 
initiatives to boost revenue, but seriously we just need to stick to 
what we do best. There’s only &lt;strong&gt;one true profit&lt;/strong&gt; center. I seriously feel ready to go on &lt;strong&gt;strike at any second.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;I just read this article about how these free &lt;strong&gt;radical&lt;/strong&gt; particles can cause the &lt;strong&gt;downfall&lt;/strong&gt; of good health and accelerate aging. These could actually cause &lt;strong&gt;death to millions of Americans&lt;/strong&gt;. If these particles are &lt;strong&gt;flying around undetected&lt;/strong&gt; everywhere, does that mean we’re all &lt;strong&gt;radicalized&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;Have you seen the second season of &lt;em&gt;Breaking Bad&lt;/em&gt;? I just finished it. I couldn’t believe that  episode where they poison the guy with &lt;strong&gt;ricin&lt;/strong&gt;! That was &lt;strong&gt;the bomb&lt;/strong&gt;! I won’t say any more because &lt;strong&gt;I don’t want to reveal the earth-shattering events to come&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;Oh! So I’ve been planning a big trip for the summer. I’m thinking of visiting all of &lt;strong&gt;the most famous suspension bridges in the United States&lt;/strong&gt;. So probably like &lt;strong&gt;the Golden Gate Bridge&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;The Brooklyn Bridge&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;the Verrazano Narrows Bridge&lt;/strong&gt;. I’m gonna bring my younger brother and I know he’ll want to go to bars, so I’m thinking of getting him a &lt;strong&gt;fake drivers license&lt;/strong&gt;, but I hope that doesn’t &lt;strong&gt;blow up&lt;/strong&gt; in my face.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I gotta run! I’m late for &lt;strong&gt;flight school&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;I missed the last class where we learn how to land&lt;/strong&gt;, so I really can’t miss another one. Talk to you later!&lt;br /&gt;
 
    &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
A shocking report authored by the office of Russia’s top religious leader &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.patriarchia.ru/db/text/477670.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Patriarch Kirill I&lt;/a&gt; states that this past week the United States ordered over 10 million &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD1&quot;&gt;Christian websites&lt;/span&gt; destroyed that they claimed were a &lt;em&gt;“threat”&lt;/em&gt; to their National Security and that the American Internet giant Google quickly responded by making them all disappear.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
According to this report, Google first came under assault from the US government in June when the Federal &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD2&quot;&gt;Trade&lt;/span&gt; Commission (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ftc.gov/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FTC&lt;/a&gt;) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387544,00.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; that they had launched an &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD4&quot;&gt;investigation&lt;/span&gt; into &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD5&quot;&gt;the company&lt;/span&gt;,
 a move defended against by top Google executive Amit Singhal who aside 
from claiming the attacks against them were baseless said, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2387544,00.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“At Google, we’ve always focused on putting the user first.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
After weeks of unrelenting pressure upon
 them, however, this past week Google, which had refused to answer the 
baseless charges against them, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388282,00.asp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;caved to the US government&lt;/a&gt; and&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pakalertpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/auc1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;alignright size-full wp-image-17759&quot; height=&quot;400&quot; src=&quot;http://www.pakalertpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/auc1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;auc1&quot; width=&quot;267&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
 announced that their Chairman, Eric Schmidt, who had previously said 
the charges against them were nonsense, agreed to testify before a US 
Senate Committee under threat of subpoena.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
On the very same day that Google caved 
into these US governments demands, this report continues, they then 
announced that they had &lt;a href=&quot;https://rt.com/usa/news/google-11-million-cocc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blacklisted and banned over 11 million websites&lt;/a&gt;
 that had been registered for free through the co.cc subdomain the world
 over.&amp;nbsp; Giving as its reason for this largest in history removal of 
private websites Google asserted that it had the right to pull the plug 
on sites if they &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://rt.com/usa/news/google-11-million-cocc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“see a very large fraction of sites on a specific freehost be spammy or low-quality.” &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cc&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Co.cc&lt;/a&gt; is the Internet country &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD6&quot;&gt;code&lt;/span&gt; top-level &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD10&quot;&gt;domain&lt;/span&gt;
 (ccTLD) for Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory. It is 
administered by VeriSign through a subsidiary company eNIC, which 
promotes it for international registration as “the next .com”; .cc was 
originally assigned in October 1997 to eNIC &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD7&quot;&gt;Corporation&lt;/span&gt; of Seattle WA by the IANA.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Most important to note about the .cc domain,
 this report points out, is its being preferred by Churches and 
Christian organizations around the world as “CC” also happens to be an 
abbreviation for “Christian Church” or “Catholic Church,” especially in 
Islamic Nations where due to strict laws against Christianity these free
 co.cc websites were the only way those belonging to this faith were 
able to communicate with each other.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
In this Patriarch Kirill I report as to the &lt;em&gt;“true reason”&lt;/em&gt; for the US ordered government shutdown of millions of Christian websites in Islamic Nations it states is the &lt;em&gt;“fundamental shift”&lt;/em&gt; undertaken by the Obama regime to support radical Muslim elements instead of the once secular Arab leaders it once did.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
The most crucial US turnaround in this regard happened this past week, and as we can read, in part, as reported by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://frontpagemag.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Front Page Magazine News Service&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/04/obama-reaches-out-to-the-muslim-brotherhood/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“The
 Obama administration is set to begin formal contacts with the Muslim 
Brotherhood, a group dedicated in its own words to “eliminating and 
destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its 
miserable house.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/04/obama-reaches-out-to-the-muslim-brotherhood/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;This
 news came in a Reuters report Wednesday, quoting a “senior U.S. 
official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.” Why this official felt 
it necessary to speak on condition of anonymity is a mystery, given the 
fact that Barack Obama has never made a secret of his solicitude for the
 Muslim Brotherhood. Even though the Brotherhood was still outlawed in 
Egypt at that time, he made a point of inviting leaders of the group to 
attend his speech to the Islamic world in Cairo on June 4, 2009. &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://frontpagemag.com/2011/07/04/obama-reaches-out-to-the-muslim-brotherhood/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Not
 only that. Obama included the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-linked 
group that had been named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror
 funding case among the clerics giving a prayer during his inauguration 
ceremonies: Ingrid Mattson, then-president of the Islamic Society of 
North America (ISNA), offered this prayer at the National Cathedral on 
Obama’s Inauguration Day – despite the fact that ISNA has admitted its 
ties to the Brotherhood. In fact, so overwhelming is the evidence of 
ISNA’s involvement with the Brotherhood and Hamas that the previous 
summer, federal prosecutors had rejected a request from ISNA to remove 
its unindicted co-conspirator status. Obama even sent his Senior Adviser
 Valerie Jarrett to be the keynote speaker at ISNA’s national convention
 in 2009.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
This gravest danger posed by the US ordered destruction of these millions of Christian websites, this report continues, involves the estimated 20 million &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copts&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Coptic Christians&lt;/a&gt;
 now living in Egypt who, should the Muslim Brotherhood gain control, 
would face the removal from their homes of all of their children so they
 could be &lt;em&gt;“educated”&lt;/em&gt; in Islamic &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD11&quot;&gt;schools&lt;/span&gt; as converts to the Muslim faith.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
US author Brad O’Leary in his book “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Americas-War-Christianity-Brad-OLeary/dp/1935071246/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1310304261&amp;amp;sr=8-1&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;America’s War On Christianity&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”
 warns that no one should be surprised about these things as many US 
regimes, including Obama’s, have waged a decades long war against this 
faith in their attempt to eradicate it from all forms of public 
expression, even to outlawing &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD12&quot;&gt;school&lt;/span&gt; children from even mentioning the words &lt;em&gt;“God,” “Bible,”&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;“Jesus Christ”&lt;/em&gt; under threat of imprisonment.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Even worse, shocking news is now coming from the United States that the Obama regime has ordered that the words &lt;em&gt;“God Bless”&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;“Jesus Christ”&lt;/em&gt; cannot be used even when burying their military dead, and as we can read, in part, as reported by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.christianpost.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Christian Post News Service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.christianpost.com/news/texas-senator-calls-for-probe-into-censored-religious-speech-at-cemetery-51940/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“Texas
 Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is calling for an investigation into the 
actions of the Houston National Cemetery director who told pastors and 
veterans groups to stop using words like “God bless” and “Jesus Christ” 
during funeral services. Several veterans groups and pastors in the 
Houston area filed a religious discrimination lawsuit this week, 
charging that the cemetery’s director, Arleen Ocasio, was censoring 
prayers and certain religious terms at funerals for veterans.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Most appalling of all of these things is
 the vast majority of the American people allowing their once cherished 
Christian values of home, family and morality to be continued to be 
stripped away from them with nary a protest as if they have completely 
forgotten that their religion would have never survived without the 
countless millions who martyred their lives, including Jesus, so their 
faith could survive.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
To the horrific future lying in store 
for Christians living in America today should come as no surprise either
 as prior to his election as President, Obama stated in response to 
them, &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/what_barack_obama_thinks_of_rural_america_bitter_gun_toting_xenophobes/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“…it’s
 not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or 
antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or 
anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;
Forgotten by Obama is that those Americans who &lt;em&gt;“cling to their guns and religion”&lt;/em&gt; are the &lt;em&gt;exact &lt;/em&gt;people
 that made the Founders of the United States created their Nation for; 
and though they have survived much since their founding, their silence 
today as their Nation is allowed to be destroyed &lt;span class=&quot;IL_AD&quot; id=&quot;IL_AD9&quot;&gt;shows&lt;/span&gt;
 how truly weak they have become.&amp;nbsp; And in that weakness lie the seeds of
 their own destruction, but which they are too ignorant of history to 
even see as their total destruction looms ever closer.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

    Judge saves 10-year-old from Kathleen Sebelius - the one-woman death panel&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h1 class=&quot;pagetitle&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;float: left;&quot;&gt;
  &lt;img alt=&quot;Dan Calabrese&quot; src=&quot;http://static.caintvnetwork.com/DCalabresebiopic65x65.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px; margin-top: 5px;&quot; /&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
    

&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;b&gt;By DAN CALABRESE - Palin is right again.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Not that she&#39;ll get credit for it, but when Sarah Palin warned of 
&quot;death panels&quot; resulting from the constructs of ObamaCare, this is 
exactly what she meant: Someone needs something or they&#39;re going to die,
 and some government bureaucrat who values the &lt;i&gt;systemic&lt;/i&gt; ramifications of the matter above all else, gets to decide what will happen.&lt;br /&gt;
In this case, DHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius made her decision: She would not intervene to save the life of 10-year-old&amp;nbsp;Sarah
 Murnaghan, a cystic fibrosis patient from Pennsylvania. Sarah is, as I 
write this, weeks away from death if she doesn&#39;t get a lung transplant. 
That, you&#39;d think, would serve as a call to action for anyone who might 
be able to make the transplant happen. But not Kathleen Sebelius, 
because adults are also waiting for lungs, and the rules say no one 
under 12 can be prioritized over adults.&lt;br /&gt;
Sebelius claimed rules are rules and she had no authority to 
intervene, despite a letter from several members of Congress asserting 
that she absolutely does (including two from Pennsylvania). Sebelius did
 trouble herself to &quot;order a policy review,&quot; but she refused to take 
action to save Sarah&#39;s life.&lt;br /&gt;
Fortunately, District Court Judge Michael Baylson issued a 
restraining order prohibiting Sebelius from applying the policy that 
will block Sarah from getting the lung transplant. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/05/health/pennsylvania-girl-lungs/index.html&quot;&gt;CNN reports&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;
Janet Murnaghan, Sarah&#39;s mother, said the family is &quot;thrilled ... literally jumping for joy.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph5&quot; style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;
In
 a written statement, the family added, &quot;We are experiencing many 
emotions -- relief, happiness, gratitude and, for the first time in 
months, hope.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph6&quot; style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;
Where
 someone is placed on the adult lung transplant list depends on several 
factors -- blood type, distance from donor to potential recipient, and a
 lung allocation score. The score is derived from medical factors like 
test results and the patient&#39;s diagnosis.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph7&quot; style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;
Sarah&#39;s parents said her score is a 78. Anything above 60 is considered a high score, according to reports published on the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;website.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph8&quot; style=&quot;padding-left: 30px;&quot;&gt;
The
 Murnaghans had argued that since the number of children&#39;s lungs 
available through organ donation programs is so small, Sarah -- and 
other pediatric patients like her -- should be added to the list of 
people waiting for adult lungs, prioritized by severity of their 
illnesses.&lt;/div&gt;
Now let&#39;s be clear about exactly what happened here. A 
policy was put in place by the federal government that said certain 
people would take priority over others for transplants. When a person 
proved to be in desperate need of such a transplant - a matter of life 
and death - a cabinet-level government official refused to intervene, 
citing the rules, citing limits on her own authority and saying it would
 take too long at any rate to change the policy.&lt;br /&gt;
Lungs are available. A 10-year-old girl needs one or she will die. 
But a government policy says she can&#39;t have one and no one will do 
anything to set aside or get around the policy so a 10-year-old girl 
will not die. Or at least no one would until Judge Baylson came along, 
thank God.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;This is the death panel.&lt;/i&gt; It is exactly what Palin was 
talking about. It is not a group of hooded men sitting atop a raised 
dias, informing unfortunate souls, &quot;You have been selected for death,&quot; 
but it has the exact same effect. The government makes rules to govern 
the allocation of resources in health care, and the rules leave no room 
for flexibility when a person&#39;s life is on the line and common sense 
argues that flexibility is absolutely necessary. Only the intervention 
of this judge, assuming it is allowed to stand, can save this young 
girl&#39;s life - because government has no idea how to stop tripping over 
its own policies.&lt;br /&gt;
By the way, about Sebelius&#39;s claim that she couldn&#39;t act because she 
lacks the authority. Two things about that: 1. She doesn&#39;t have the 
authority to shake down the health care industry for money to pay for 
ObamaCare implementation either, but that&#39;s not stopping her. 2. People 
who believe it is important to make something happen &lt;i&gt;find a way&lt;/i&gt;.
 They make phone calls. They knock on doors. They call in favors. They 
get done what needs to get done. People who don&#39;t really want to help 
claim they don&#39;t have the authority and leave it at that.&lt;br /&gt;
We know what Kathleen Sebelius&#39;s priorities are. What a despicable 
woman. Oh, by the way, I don&#39;t remember her boss issuing any directive 
to find a way to help either. Palin has been right about a lot of 
things.&lt;/div&gt;

 If you start with a cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage, 
hang a banana on a string from the top and then you place a set of 
stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and 
climb toward the banana.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray all the other monkeys with cold water.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; After a while another monkey makes an attempt with same result...all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Pretty soon when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Now, put the cold water away.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 To his shock, all of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After 
another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the 
stairs he will be assaulted.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Next, remove another of the original five monkeys, replacing it with a new one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer 
takes part in the punishment...... with enthusiasm, because he is now 
part of the &quot;team&quot;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Then, replace a third original monkey with a
 new one, followed by the fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest 
monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Now, the monkeys 
that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to 
climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the
 beating of the newest monkey.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Finally, having replaced all of 
the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been 
sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try 
to climb the stairway for the banana.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Why, you ask? Because in their minds...that is the way it has always been!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 This, my friends, is how Congress operates... and this is why, from 
time to time: ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;http://spectator.org/people/jed-babbin&quot; rel=&quot;author&quot;&gt;Jed  Babbin&lt;/a&gt; on 5.13.13 @ 6:10AM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;summary&quot;&gt;
It’s enough to make a reporter yearn for Monica Beach.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;innerText&quot;&gt;
  Which one of these facts doesn’t belong among the others?&lt;br /&gt;

• U.S. Marines are on alert to evacuate remaining Americans from
Libya.&lt;br /&gt;
•&amp;nbsp;On the night of September 11, 2012, Gregory Hicks, a State
Department official stationed in Tripoli, had a telephone
conversation at 8&amp;nbsp;pm Washington time — that’s 2 am Tripoli time —
with Hillary Clinton.&lt;br /&gt;
• The Obama administration had a private meeting with their press
allies on Friday and CBS’s Sharyl Attkisson is reportedly under
fire for taking a skeptical approach to the administration’s spin
on Benghazi.&lt;br /&gt;
• Rep. Darrell Issa’s (R-CA) hearing last week left far too many
questions unanswered.&lt;br /&gt;

Okay, you got me: it’s a trick question. None of those things
doesn’t belong among the others, and all add up to the conclusion
Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) reached in January. The House needs to pass
Wolf’s H. Res. 36 and create a select committee to investigate the
terrorist attack on Benghazi that took four American lives.&lt;br /&gt;

Wolf’s point is simply that the conflicting priorities of
congressional committees make the Select Committee the only
practicable way to get at the truth. As he pointed out in his
&lt;a href=&quot;http://wolf.house.gov/uploads/boehnerbenghazi.pdf&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;letter&lt;/a&gt; last
Friday to Speaker Boehner, Wolf’s bill is now supported by nearly
two-thirds of the Republicans in the House, 139 co-sponsors.&lt;br /&gt;

Will Boehner have the guts to pass Wolf’s bill? He should, for a
host of reasons both substantive and political. In a Friday
editorial the &lt;em&gt;Wall Street Journal&lt;/em&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324244304578473350240211308.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;
wrote&lt;/a&gt;, “Across this country’s history, the murder of an
American ambassador, the nation’s representative, has been taken as
not merely a tragedy but an attack on U.S. interests that demands
an official accounting to the American people.” With the
&lt;em&gt;Journal&lt;/em&gt; providing cover for him, Boehner has no excuse to
not pass it.&lt;br /&gt;

That the Marines are on alert to evacuate the remaining
Americans in Libya should be the last stake in the heart of Obama’s
“Arab Spring” policy. From Libya to Syria (and Yemen and Iraq and
Mali and in so many other places), Obama has worked hard to create
a political fiction: that democracy is blooming where it cannot —
wherever Islamic law prevails — and al Qaeda is dying among its
flowers. Instead, we see terrorist groups fighting among themselves
for dominance in too many places. Too many places in which we have
lost our ability to influence events.&lt;br /&gt;

Which leaves us with the other facts at hand. We know a lot of
the questions that still need to be answered, thanks to Wolf’s
letter and Andy McCarthy’s usual great work. For example, McCarthy
points out &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/347981/about-2am-hillary-hicks-call-10pm-hillary-obama-call&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;
here&lt;/a&gt; that the Hicks-Clinton telephone call was probably
recorded. If that recording (still) exists, it should be turned
over to the House and Hillary’s involvement in dealing with the
terrorist attack — or not doing so — should be fully
investigated.&lt;br /&gt;

As should be so many other aspects of this scandal. Another
example is the CIA talking points that White House flack Jay Carney
claimed were the basis for Amb. Susan Rice’s falsehoods on the
September 16, 2012 Sunday talk shows. Carney said, on November 28,
2012, that “Those talking points originated from the intelligence
community. They reflect the IC’s best assessments of what they
thought had happened. The White House and the State Department have
made clear that the single adjustment that was made to those
talking points by either of those two institutions were changing
the word ‘consulate’ to ‘diplomatic facility’ because ‘consulate’
was inaccurate.”&lt;br /&gt;

Which was absolutely false. Moreover, it’s pretty clear that the
CIA’s talking points were mangled beyond recognition — at least
twelve versions exist according to ABC News — yet the CIA and the
intelligence community were blamed for what they and Susan Rice
said. The talking points were changed for a reason, and that reason
had to be political.&lt;br /&gt;

Political as in re-electing Obama. Everything points to the
president. His involvement and the involvement of his cabinet and
personal staff have to be investigated.&lt;br /&gt;

The most interesting part of this is that the White House is
feeling sufficient heat on Benghazi to call in the Obamamedia’s
most faithful, including CBS News President David Rhodes. (Rhodes’s
brother — Ben — is the White House Deputy National Security
Advisor for Strategic Communication and reportedly played a major
role in changing the CIA talking points.) If, as it appears, the
White House is trying to censor Sharyl Attkisson, the alarm bells
are ringing all around. Not in the media: they’re Obama’s captives.
The desperation alarms are ringing in the White House. They have to
bury the Benghazi story before it buries Obama’s presidency.&lt;br /&gt;

And they might succeed. Issa’s hearings won’t go on forever and
the Benghazi story may only survive in the conservative media. But
not if Boehner passes Frank Wolf’s bill and creates the select
committee.&lt;br /&gt;

What the White House obviously understands is that if Boehner
has the courage to do that, there won’t be any way for Obama to
escape the Benghazi story between now and the 2014 election. No
matter what he does, no matter what he says, as a matter of reflex
the media’s attention will return to the select committee’s
dealings.&lt;br /&gt;

The select committee would, under Wolf’s bill, have the power to
subpoena witnesses and documents. So who’s getting subpoenaed this
week? Is Obama resisting the document subpoenas? Has he claimed
executive privilege yet? What did Hillary’s spokeswoman, Victoria
Nuland, say in her deposition? It’s easy to see that creating a
select committee could have one overriding effect: the White House
should be as tied up with it as Congress was with Obamacare. Our
politicians spent about eighteen months on that without a
break.&lt;br /&gt;

Some of us remember the good old days on Monica Beach. That’s
when reporters staked out Ken Starr’s grand jury proceedings in the
broad concrete courtyard in front of the U.S. District Court, which
became known by that name. There will be enough “process crimes” —
lies to congressional investigators that breed lies to grand juries
— in any Select Committee’s investigation to keep the Obama
administration reeling through 2016. &lt;br /&gt;
One of the big reasons that the White House will be tied up is
that their friends in the liberal media — especially the crazies
on MSNBC and their ilk — are so scared of the Benghazi story that
they can’t resist covering it. It may go so far — as one radio
talk show host predicted last week — that they would try to cover
the Benghazi select committee, even if only to lampoon it, sooner
than the rest out of fear of the damage it could cause Obama.&lt;br /&gt;

And that’s all politics, the fun side of what we do. The
substance of politics is policy, and Obama’s needs to be laid bare
to the public.&lt;br /&gt;

It would not be beyond the purview of the Benghazi Select
Committee to investigate just what Amb. Chris Stevens was doing in
Benghazi the night he was killed. What policy purpose was there in
exposing him to terrorist attack? Was there some goal that Obama or
Hillary was trying to reach?&lt;br /&gt;

What was the purpose of the separate mission being conducted by
the two former SEALs who were killed the same night? There are so
many rumors floating around about what they were doing that a new
category of intelligence info had to be created just for it by a
friend of mine. He calls it “rumint.” We’ve heard about “MANPADs”
— man portable air defense missiles they may have been trying to
round up lest they fall into the hands of terrorists. Were they
successful? How did their actions further our policy in Libya?&lt;br /&gt;

There is every reason for us to be skeptical of Obama’s goals,
motivations, and policy. And, given the attention span of the
Congress and its committees, there is no prospect that the truth
about Benghazi will ever be determined unless Boehner creates the
Benghazi Select Committee. The truth still matters. Let’s get this
done.&lt;a href=&quot;http://spectator.org/archives/2013/05/13/next-the-benghazi-select-commi&quot;&gt;http://spectator.org/archives/2013/05/13/next-the-benghazi-select-commi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
When Barack Obama came to office he 
promised to have “the most transparent administration in history.” 
Apparently that isn’t working out so well, at least not with Benghazi. 
Last week the administration held secret, off-the-record meetings with 
the press likely to strong arm them into aiding in the Benghazi 
cover-up.&lt;br /&gt;

After last week’s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/14727-benghazigate-witness-reduced-to-tears-recalling-ambassadors-murder/&quot;&gt;dramatic testimony on Obama’s failures in Benghazi&lt;/a&gt;
 the off-record nature of the meetings raised a lot of eyebrows, 
certainly. One has to wonder what Obama is hiding? He keeps claiming 
that there is nothing to worry about with his conduct during the attacks
 on our embassy personnel in Libya that horrible day. So, if he isn’t 
worried, why the secretive meetings with his lapdogs in the press?&lt;ins style=&quot;border: none; display: inline-table; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;ins id=&quot;aswift_0_anchor&quot; style=&quot;border: none; display: block; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;htthttp://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/15224-obama-holds-secret-benghazi-press-conference/p://youtu.be/9oHjiSCJAm8 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Could the edited talking points be one thing the&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;Obama admin doesn’t want well known?&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the briefing was reported as off-record, some in the Obama administration even wanted to spin &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;
 and mischaracterize it as “on deep background,” instead of off the 
record. What is the difference between the two? According to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2013/05/white-house-holds-offrecord-benghazi-briefing-163704.html&quot;&gt;Politico&lt;/a&gt; that means reporters can use the info they heard but cannot attribute the quote to anyone.&lt;br /&gt;

In other words, nothing from the meeting will be reported because 
good journalistic practice means identifying key sources. Just saying 
“some say,” or “sources confide” is not optimal, though it is done.&lt;br /&gt;

Who can blame Obama for trying to staunch the flow of his administration’s political blood, though. With one group already &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/15184-obama-receives-3-lawsuits-filed-against-him-over-benghazi-coverup/&quot;&gt;filing lawsuits against him for his failed leadership in Benghazi&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/15009-senator-hints-at-obama-impeachment/&quot;&gt;Congress calling this the worst cover-up&lt;/a&gt;
 since anyone can remember, Obama is beginning to panic. But, he’ll 
likely be able to rely on the Old Media establishment to come to his 
aide as always… hence the secret 
meetinghttp://www.mrconservative.com/2013/05/15224-obama-holds-secret-benghazi-press-conference/&lt;a href=&quot;http://youtu.be/9oHjiSCJAm8&quot;&gt;http://youtu.be/9oHjiSCJAm8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://youtu.be/9oHjiSCJAm8&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law , St. Paul , Minnesota
 , points out some INTERESTING FACTS CONCERNING THE PRESIDENTIAL 
ELECTION: &lt;br /&gt;  Number of States won by: &lt;br /&gt;  Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29 &lt;br /&gt;  Square miles of land won by: &lt;br /&gt;  Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;  Population of counties won by: &lt;br /&gt;  Democrats: 127 Million Republicans: 143 million&lt;br /&gt;  Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:&lt;br /&gt;  Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1&lt;br /&gt;
  Professor Olson adds: &quot;In aggregate, the map of the territory 
Republicans won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of 
the country. &lt;br /&gt;  Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens 
living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of 
government welfare....&quot; &lt;br /&gt;  Olson believes the United States is now 
somewhere between the &quot;complacency and apathy&quot; phase of Professor Tyler &#39;
 s definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation &#39; s 
population already having reached the &quot;governmental dependency&quot; phase. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
  If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal

&lt;span class=&quot;messageBody&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;userContent&quot;&gt;Martial law is the imposition of military rule by military authorities over designated regions on an emergency basis.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 Martial law is usually imposed on a temporary basis when the civilian 
government or civilian authorities fail to function effectively (e.g., 
maintain order and security, or provide essential services), when there 
are extensive riots and protests, or when the disobedience of the law 
becomes widespread.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; In most of the cases, military forces are 
deployed to subdue the crowds, to secure government buildings and key or
 sensitive locations, and to maintain order.[1] Generally, military 
personnel replace civil authorities and perform some or all of their 
functions. In full-scale martial law, the highest-ranking military 
officer would take over, or be installed, as the military governor or as
 head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous 
executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government.[1]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 Martial law can be used by governments to enforce their rule over the 
public. Such incidents may occur after a coup d&#39;état (such as Thailand 
in 2006); when threatened by popular protest (China, Tiananmen Square 
protests of 1989); to suppress political opposition (Poland in 1981); to
 stabilize insurrections or perceived insurrections (Canada, The October
 Crisis of 1970). Martial law may be declared in cases of major natural 
disasters, however most countries use a different legal construct, such 
as a state of emergency.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Martial law has also been imposed 
during conflicts and in cases of occupations, where the absence of any 
other civil government provides for an unstable population. Examples of 
this form of military rule include post World War II reconstruction in 
Germany and Japan as well as the southern reconstruction following the 
U.S. Civil War.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Typically, the imposition of martial law 
accompanies curfews, the suspension of civil law, civil rights, habeas 
corpus, and the application or extension of military law or military 
justice to civilians. Civilians defying martial law may be subjected to 
military tribunal (court-martial).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;

I wish I wrote this one &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here is
 something interesting to consider.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Garnered the following answer, which means there can be 
no &quot;good&quot; Muslim soldiers either:&lt;br /&gt;


&lt;br /&gt;
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam. (Quran, 2:256.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam. and the Quran.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca. to which he turns in prayer five times a day.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual 
leaders,) who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, 
the great Satan.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat
 and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34.)&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution 
since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be
 corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran, do not 
allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot 
co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare &#39;one nation under God,&#39; the 
Christian&#39;s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as 
Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran&#39;s 99 excellent 
names.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
So - we must be suspicious of each and every Muslim. At. ALL. Times.&lt;br /&gt;


Just callin&#39; it like it is!!&lt;/div&gt;

KEEP PASSING THIS AROUND UNTIL EVERY ONE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO READ IT... THIS IS SURE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!!  THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GOVERNMENT&#39;S CALCULATION OF AVAILABLE SOCIAL SECURITY IS THEY FORGOT TO FIGURE IN THE PEOPLE WHO DIED BEFORE THEY EVER COLLECTED A SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK!!!  WHERE DID THATMONEY GO?

Remember, not only did you and I contribute to Social Security, but your employer did, too.  It totals 15% of your income before taxes.  If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that&#39;s close to $220,500. Read that again!

Did you see where the Government paid in one single penny?

We are talking about the money you and your employer put in a Government bank to insure you and I that we would have a retirement check from the money we put in, not the Government.  Now they are calling the money we put in an ENTITLEMENT when we reach the age to take it back.

If you calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year (yours &amp;amp; your employer&#39;s contribution) at a simple 5% interest (less than what the Government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working you&#39;d have $892,919.98.  If you took out only 3% per year, you&#39;d receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you&#39;re 95 if you retire at age 65) and that&#39;s with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!  If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you&#39;d have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. If you have a deceased spouses who died in their 50&#39;s -- their S.S. money will never have one cent drawn from what they paid into S.S. all their lives over the past 30 years!

THE FOLKS IN WASHINGTON HAVE PULLED OFF A BIGGER PONZI SCHEME THAN BERNIE MADOFF EVER DID. 

Entitlement my foot, I paid cash for my social security insurance!  Just because they borrowed the money for other government spending, doesn&#39;t make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!! 

Remember Congressional benefits? --- free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days.
Now that&#39;s welfare!!!  And they have the nerve to call my social security retirement payments entitlements?!?

We&#39;re &amp;quot;broke&amp;quot; and we can&#39;t help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, or Homeless.
Yet in the last few months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile and Turkey.  And now Pakistan......home of bin Laden.  Literally, BILLIONS... if not TRILLIONS of DOLLARS are unaccounted for!!!  

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives, and now, when it&#39;s time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.  Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?  It was supposed to be in a locked box, not part of the general fund.
Sad isn&#39;t it.  99% of people won&#39;t have the guts to forward this.  I&#39;m in the 1% --
I just did.&quot; class=&quot;img&quot; height=&quot;354&quot; src=&quot;https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s480x480/479988_10152669426525637_293439198_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;I am a
Disabled American Veteran, I have permanent compression fractures of 2
vertebrae, and the V.A. considers my hearing loss severe to profound with an 85
to90% loss. My service was in the early 70s, with the Army Infantry, I have
been using hearing aids since 1975. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;Just
recently I acquired an AUDIO DOG; her name is (peanut butter). She is Japanese’s
Chin, very small 10LBS very cute and highly intelligent, she is a trained
companion and she comes with me most of the time I am out of the house.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She has Service dog ID Tags with a pictured
ID 2in X 4 in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;One day, two
or three days before Christmas we were in the King Soopers store #71 at 100
Founders Pkwy, Castle Rock. Colorado, the store was packed with Holiday
shoppers and in full bedlam mode with all last minuet shoppers. I was with
Peanut she was on a leash and standing in her spot at my feet, we were at the
meat counter waiting for the meatloaf I asked to have made up, when I felt
Peanut pull the leash toward the rear, when I turned around I was made aware of
a man that was making a loud and stern complaint, to my surprise!!! about me
and my dog. When that happened I turned my hearing aids up to be able to
understand this man. His yelling words were ((“really a dog? You have to have
your dog here where I shop for my food?! Why do you have to bring that dog in
here this is where they sell food and you’re bringing a dog in here! I am going
to the Manager and I am not putting up with this B.S.”)), &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I did nothing, but stand there and watch him
walk away still yelling. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;In about
three to five minutes Peanut pulled the leash again and I turned around and the
Front manager Susanne &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was standing in
back of me, I have been shopping this store for almost six years, so I know
most of the people that work there and she said Hi and I said Hi, I said to her
that peanut was a service dog and she remembered me from the past times that I
have been in the store, This manager looked at this man causing all this ruckus
and told him that the dog was allowed here and that she is a service dog, This
man was irate, incensed, and disrespectful to her, the manager held her
professionalism and &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;was cool &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;under fire, Finally when I was fed up with
this rant and rave, I informed him that this service dog can go where I go and
that as he stands at that point he was in violation of the Americans With
Disabilities Act, that is federal law and he was breaking the law. He kept on
saying ((‘I want to know how that dog helps you buy food!!!’))&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Now this man had made such a seen that there
were people standing around watching him yell at us. At this point the manager
told this man that he will have to go on shopping and not harass me or the dog,
she assigned another employee to walk with him so he would not come back to me,
finally when we could no longer hear this person I looked around and found
myself surrounded by all the people that I have known for years, employee’s
that work at the store telling me not to worry he won’t bother you and your
save here, We won’t let him bother you anymore. I felt as if I had my family
there to protect me, I don’t scare easy, I was a solider, and I drove tractor
trailers in Manhattan, New York City , For 30 years. I have seen a lot. But Now
I am close to sixty I am too old to fight and too tired to run.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The manager came back to me and told me not
to worry and take all the time I needed to shop, she stayed with me until I got
my order from the meat department and walked me out to the front of the store. I
have not had anyone stand up for me like that since I shared foxholes with
brothers that told each other; hey I got your back. Needless to say, I will NOT
shop anywhere other than King Soopers Founders Pkwy. I have family there. The
employees at this store are always friendly and willing to go the extra mile
for the customer, from the general manager (yes, I know him also) down to the
part timers, all will ask &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;if they can
help in any way, and do almost anything asked of them, if possible. This store
and the people working there are a credit to this company and this store can
and should be used as a model for other markets to set the service bar as high
as can be achieved.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;A copy of
this letter will be sent to the local newspaper in Castle Rock, Colorado, the
parent company of King Soopers and posted on line.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Washington, DC – The Obama agents, through the DHS and other assorted colluders, are plotting a major ‘Reichstag’ event to generate racial riots and produce the justification for martial law, a DHS whistleblower informed the Canada Free Press on Tuesday.

The ‘Reichstag Event’ would take the form of a staged assassination attempt against Barack Obama, “carefully choreographed” and manufactured by Obama operatives. It would subsequently be blamed on “white supremacists” and used to enrage the black community to rioting and looting, the DHS source warned.

The Obama administration would then use the violence and chaos they created as justification for the imposition of martial law in major urban cities in America, the creation of DHS checkpoints, restriction of travel,!!
The Reichstag event refers to a fire started during Hitler’s rise to power. The fire allowed him to grab emergency powers and murder his opposition. Historians have long believed that Hitler started the fire himself, while he blamed it on the Communists.

The anonymous whistleblower elaborated on how the Obama administration is using the Occupy movement, labor unions, and other assorted subversive groups to create massive chaos within the nation.

“Using untracked campaign funds, they are paying people to infiltrate the various movements to cause physical destruction of property and disrupt commerce. That began last year, but has increased ten-fold already this year,” the DHS source shared.

“Obama is using some high profile people as pawns to foment the revolution. I heard several times through very credible sources that [Louis] Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll. Other have been named as well, but I’m not prepared to identify them yet. Farrakhan is to coordinate the Blacks and the Muslims to prepare for riots this summer, using any means necessary.”

The recent revelations appeared to complement warnings given by other government insiders, who alleged that Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson were all agent provocateurs whose mission was to inflame racial tensions and spark open conflict in the streets of America.

According to the DHS source, a global economic collapse is coming, which the Obama administration is well aware of. They wish to build a system of global governance from the ashes of the previous financial system. In order for this mission to be completed, the Obama administration needs more time at the helm of power.

The shocking news also seemed to confirm recent actions taken by the DHS, such as their purchase of 450 million rounds of ammunition and their recent BlackHawk helicopters operation in Chicago, which looked frighteningly similar to a civil unrest exercise, but was described as “routine training”.

The concept of a staged assassination attempt against Barack Obama is not new as well and was first voiced by a knowledgeable White House insider known only as “WHI”.&quot; class=&quot;img&quot; height=&quot;291&quot; src=&quot;https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s480x480/550032_324451230988280_1714879912_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;398&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

He was born in Michigan, grew up in the Indiana,&lt;br /&gt;Illinois, and Texas, and received his B.A. degree from Ferris State&lt;br /&gt;University in Big Rapids, Michigan. Garrison is a Crime Scene&lt;br /&gt;Technician in West Michigan. His research in the fields of crime scene&lt;br /&gt;investigation and Shooting Reconstruction are widely published in&lt;br /&gt;forensic journals under the name &quot;D.H. Garrison, Jr.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Subject: If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to&lt;span class=&quot;ecxyiv1704713147apple-converted-space&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fight?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Posted on January 3, 2013 by Dean Garrison&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel a tremendous responsibility to write this article though I am a&lt;br /&gt;little apprehensive. Thinking about the possibility of rising up&lt;br /&gt;against our own government is a frightening thing for many of us. I am&lt;br /&gt;not Johnny Rambo and I will be the first to admit that I do not want&lt;br /&gt;to die. The reason I feel compelled to write this, however, is simply&lt;br /&gt;because I don’t think the average American is equipped with the facts.&lt;br /&gt;I feel that a lot of American citizens feel like they have no choice&lt;br /&gt;but to surrender their guns if the government comes for them. I blame&lt;br /&gt;traditional media sources for this mass brainwash and I carry the&lt;br /&gt;responsibility of all small independent bloggers to tell the truth. So&lt;br /&gt;my focus today is to lay out your constitutional rights as an&lt;br /&gt;American, and let you decide what to do with those rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a month ago I let the “democracy” word slip in a discussion with&lt;br /&gt;a fellow blogger. I know better. Americans have been conditioned to&lt;br /&gt;use this term. It’s not an accurate term and it never has been a&lt;br /&gt;correct term to describe our form of government. The truth is that the&lt;br /&gt;United States of America is a constitutional republic. This is similar&lt;br /&gt;to a democracy because our representatives are selected by democratic&lt;br /&gt;elections, but ultimately our representatives are required to work&lt;br /&gt;within the framework of our constitution. In other words, even if 90%&lt;br /&gt;of Americans want something that goes against our founding principles,&lt;br /&gt;they have no right to call for a violation of constitutional rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are religious you might choose to think of it this way… Say&lt;br /&gt;that members of your congregation decide that mass fornication is a&lt;br /&gt;good thing. Do they have the right to change the teachings of your&lt;br /&gt;God? The truth is the truth. It doesn’t matter how many people try to&lt;br /&gt;stray from it. Did I just compare our founders to God? In a way I did,&lt;br /&gt;but please note that I am not trying to insult anyone. For the purpose&lt;br /&gt;of the American Government our constitution and founders who wrote it&lt;br /&gt;are much like God is to believers. It is the law. It is indisputable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our founders did not want a “democracy” for they feared a true&lt;br /&gt;democracy was just as dangerous as a monarchy. The founders were&lt;br /&gt;highly educated people who were experienced in defending themselves&lt;br /&gt;against tyranny. They understood that the constitution could protect&lt;br /&gt;the people by limiting the power of anyone to work outside of it much&lt;br /&gt;better than a pure system of popularity. A system of checks and&lt;br /&gt;balances was set up to help limit corruption of government and also&lt;br /&gt;the potential for an “immoral majority” developing within the American&lt;br /&gt;People. We have forgotten in this country that we are ultimately ruled&lt;br /&gt;by a constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is a democracy potentially just as dangerous as a monarchy? Let’s&lt;br /&gt;look at something that Benjamin Franklin said because it answers that&lt;br /&gt;question more fully and succinctly than I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.&lt;br /&gt;Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote. -Benjamin Franklin&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even 230+ years ago our founders were perceptive enough to realize&lt;br /&gt;that democracy was a dangerous form of government. How so? Because the&lt;br /&gt;citizens of a country can become just as corrupt as any government. We&lt;br /&gt;have seen evidence of this throughout history. Ask Native Americans&lt;br /&gt;and African-Americans if this population can become corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white;&quot;&gt;I think in 2012 we are seeing evidence of what Franklin was trying to&lt;br /&gt;tell us. Just because a majority of people may support certain ideas&lt;br /&gt;it does not mean that those ideas are just. In simple terms, just&lt;br /&gt;because most Americans love our president and voted for him, it does&lt;br /&gt;not mean that he has the power to go against our constitutional&lt;br /&gt;rights.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next I’d like to review the text of the second amendment. It is very&lt;br /&gt;clear. This is the law of this land. So when Senator Feinstein or&lt;br /&gt;President Obama talk about taking your guns, you need to think about&lt;br /&gt;something. Are they honoring their sworn oath to uphold the&lt;br /&gt;constitution?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free&lt;br /&gt;State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be&lt;br /&gt;infringed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a pretty clear statement. The fact is that it took&lt;br /&gt;232 years for the Supreme Court to even rule on this amendment&lt;br /&gt;because it has never been successfully challenged. In 2008 a case of&lt;br /&gt;Columbia v. Heller the Supreme Court ruled that a handgun ban in&lt;br /&gt;Washington D.C. was unconstitutional. One also has to take this into&lt;br /&gt;consideration. The Supreme Court supports your right to own guns. If&lt;br /&gt;you want to research this decision further you can start here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who try to debate the spirit of the 2nd amendment, they are&lt;br /&gt;truly no different from people who will try to take Biblical quotes&lt;br /&gt;out of context to try to support their immoral decisions. The founders&lt;br /&gt;were very clear on the intent of the 2nd amendment. Let me share a few&lt;br /&gt;quick quotes here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear&lt;br /&gt;arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in&lt;br /&gt;government. -Thomas Jefferson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are&lt;br /&gt;the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence …&lt;br /&gt;From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events,&lt;br /&gt;occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and&lt;br /&gt;happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the&lt;br /&gt;very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference –&lt;br /&gt;they deserve a place of honor with all that is good. -George&lt;br /&gt;Washington&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Constitution shall never be construed….to prevent the people of&lt;br /&gt;the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own&lt;br /&gt;arms. -Samuel Adams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could find hundreds of quotes like these. This country was built on&lt;br /&gt;the right to bear arms. It was built on the rights of an individual to&lt;br /&gt;bear arms, regardless of what his government or neighbor happened to&lt;br /&gt;think. This is crystal clear. Ironically the people who voice their&lt;br /&gt;opinions against this right have their free speech protected by your&lt;br /&gt;guns. Without guns in this country, all other amendments become null&lt;br /&gt;and void, simply because “We the People” will lose our power of&lt;br /&gt;enforcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need to keep this in mind as our “representatives” try to push gun&lt;br /&gt;bans. I don’t care if 99% of people are in support of gun bans (which&lt;br /&gt;is far from the case), it is a violation of our constitutional rights,&lt;br /&gt;plain and simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A constitutional republic protects the rights of the individual even&lt;br /&gt;when their ideas are very much in the minority. If I were the only&lt;br /&gt;person in America who believed in the 2nd amendment, I would still be&lt;br /&gt;within my rights to call upon it. You would all think I was insane and&lt;br /&gt;possibly celebrate if I was gunned down, but in the end I would be the&lt;br /&gt;only true American among us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our framers were very clear on this. If my government comes to take my&lt;br /&gt;guns, they are violating one of my constitutional rights that is&lt;br /&gt;covered by the 2nd amendment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not my right, at that point, but my responsibility to respond in&lt;br /&gt;the name of liberty. What I am telling you is something that many are&lt;br /&gt;trying to soft sell, and many others have tried to avoid putting into&lt;br /&gt;print, but I am going to say it. The time for speaking in code is&lt;br /&gt;over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they come for our guns then it is our constitutional right to put&lt;br /&gt;them six feet under. You have the right to kill any representative of&lt;br /&gt;this government who tries to tread on your liberty. I am thinking&lt;br /&gt;about self-defense and not talking about inciting a revolution.&lt;br /&gt;Re-read Jefferson’s quote. He talks about a “last resort.” I am not&lt;br /&gt;trying to start a Revolt, I am talking about self-defense. If the day&lt;br /&gt;for Revolution comes, when no peaceful options exist, we may have to&lt;br /&gt;talk about that as well. None of us wants to think about that, but&lt;br /&gt;please understand that a majority can not take away your rights as an&lt;br /&gt;American citizen. Only you can choose to give up your rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congress could pass gun ban legislation by a 90%+ margin and it just&lt;br /&gt;would not matter. I think some people are very unclear on this. This&lt;br /&gt;is the reason we have a Supreme Court, and though I do not doubt that&lt;br /&gt;the Supreme Court can also become corrupt, in 2008 they got it right.&lt;br /&gt;They supported the Constitution. It does not matter what the majority&lt;br /&gt;supports because America is not a democracy. A constitutional republic&lt;br /&gt;protects the rights of every single citizen, no matter what their&lt;br /&gt;“elected servants” say. A majority in America only matters when the&lt;br /&gt;constitution is not in play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just wrote what every believer in the Constitution wants to say, and&lt;br /&gt;what every constitutional blogger needs to write. The truth of the&lt;br /&gt;matter is that this type of speech is viewed as dangerous and radical&lt;br /&gt;or subversive, and it could gain me a world of trouble that I do not&lt;br /&gt;want. It is also the truth. To make myself clear I will tell you&lt;br /&gt;again. If they come for your guns it is your right to use those guns&lt;br /&gt;against them and to kill them. You are protected by our Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the articles I am reading on the subject are trying to give&lt;br /&gt;you clues without just coming out and saying it. I understand that&lt;br /&gt;because certain things in this country will get you on a list that you&lt;br /&gt;don’t want to be on. I may well be on that list. This blog is small&lt;br /&gt;and growing so I may not be there yet, but I have dreams. I also have&lt;br /&gt;my own list of subversives and anyone who attempts to deny my&lt;br /&gt;constitutional rights is on that list.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not the “subversive” here, it is the political representatives&lt;br /&gt;who are threatening to take away my inalienable rights. If they come&lt;br /&gt;to take my guns and I leave a few of them wounded or dead, and I&lt;br /&gt;somehow survive, I have zero doubt that I will spend a long time in&lt;br /&gt;prison and may face an execution. But I would much rather be a&lt;br /&gt;political prisoner than a slave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I go down fighting then I was not fighting to harm these human&lt;br /&gt;beings. I was simply defending my liberty and yours. It is&lt;br /&gt;self-defense and it is what our country was built on. We won our&lt;br /&gt;freedom in self-defense. We would not be ruled by a tyrannical&lt;br /&gt;government in the 1770′s and we will not be ruled in 201&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;3&lt;/span&gt; by a&lt;br /&gt;tyrannical government. There is no difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a case of right and wrong. As of now the 2nd amendment stands.&lt;br /&gt;It has never been repealed. If Feinstein or Barack have a problem with&lt;br /&gt;the constitution then they should be removed from office. They are not&lt;br /&gt;defending the Constitution which they have sworn an oath to protect.&lt;br /&gt;It is treasonous to say the least. They would likely say the same&lt;br /&gt;about me, but I have the Constitution, the founders, and the supreme&lt;br /&gt;court on my side. They only have their inflated egos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not writing this to incite people. I am writing this in hopes&lt;br /&gt;that somehow I can make a tiny difference. I have no idea how many of&lt;br /&gt;my neighbors have the will to defend their constitutional rights. 2%?&lt;br /&gt;20%? I am afraid that 20% is a high number, unfortunately. When push&lt;br /&gt;comes to shove many people may give up and submit to being ruled. I&lt;br /&gt;believe that our government is banking on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would hope that our officials come to realize that, regardless of&lt;br /&gt;our numbers, we still exist because they are calling Patriotic&lt;br /&gt;Americans to action. They are making us decide if we want to die free&lt;br /&gt;or submit to their rule. I can not tell you where you should stand on&lt;br /&gt;that. I do know that it may make the difference between living a life&lt;br /&gt;of freedom or slavery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must start thinking about this because I believe that the day is&lt;br /&gt;coming soon and I personally believe it has already been planned.&amp;nbsp; Not&lt;br /&gt;all conspiracy theories are hogwash. They may throw down the gauntlet&lt;br /&gt;soon and my suggestion is that you prepare yourself to react.&amp;nbsp; I mean&lt;br /&gt;no disrespect to our elected officials but they need to understand&lt;br /&gt;that “We the People” will not be disarmed. If they proceed then it is&lt;br /&gt;they that are provoking us and we will act accordingly. We are within&lt;br /&gt;our rights to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are in support of taking the guns, you need to ask&lt;br /&gt;yourself a very important question, and I am not just talking about&lt;br /&gt;the politicians, because if you support them, you have chosen your&lt;br /&gt;side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you willing to die to take my guns?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through regulations, taxation, inflation of the money supply, trade&lt;br /&gt;restrictions, and tethers on private associations, government itself&lt;br /&gt;is nothing but a massive drain on prosperity. The situation has become&lt;br /&gt;deeply dangerous for the future of freedom in America, with young&lt;br /&gt;people unable to find jobs, opportunities being destroyed in sector&lt;br /&gt;after sector, banks and corporations living on the dole, and so many&lt;br /&gt;regulations that we are living under something nearly as egregious as&lt;br /&gt;Soviet-style central planning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the&lt;br /&gt;government take care of him --- better take a closer look at the&lt;br /&gt;American Indian.&quot; Henry Ford&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Guess our national leaders didn&#39;t expect this. On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of &lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot;&gt;the
 Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to 
address the House Judiciary Committee&#39;s subcommittee. What he said to 
our national leaders during this special session of Congress was 
painfully truthful.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; They were not prepared for what he was to 
say, nor was it received well. It needs to be heard by every parent, 
every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, 
and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell 
Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt 
that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness.. The 
following is a portion of the transcript:&lt;br /&gt; &quot;Since the dawn of 
creation there has been both good &amp;amp; evil in the hearts of men and 
women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. 
The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of 
that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be 
in vain. Their blood cries out for answers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &quot;The first recorded
 act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. 
The villain was not the club he used.. Neither was it the NCA, the 
National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for 
the murder could only be found in Cain&#39;s heart.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &quot;In the days 
that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers
 began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the
 NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to 
represent or defend the NRA - because I don&#39;t believe that they are 
responsible for my daughter&#39;s death. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Therefore I do not 
believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything 
to do with Rachel&#39;s murder I would be their strongest opponent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy -- it 
was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the 
real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the 
blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I 
wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Your laws ignore our deepest needs, &lt;br /&gt; Your words are empty air. &lt;br /&gt; You&#39;ve stripped away our heritage, &lt;br /&gt; You&#39;ve outlawed simple prayer. &lt;br /&gt; Now gunshots fill our classrooms, &lt;br /&gt; And precious children die. &lt;br /&gt; You seek for answers everywhere, &lt;br /&gt; And ask the question &quot;Why?&quot; &lt;br /&gt; You regulate restrictive laws, &lt;br /&gt; Through legislative creed. &lt;br /&gt; And yet you fail to understand, &lt;br /&gt; That God is what we need!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 &quot;Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, mind, and
 spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we 
create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and 
wreak havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational 
systems for most of our nation&#39;s history. Many of our major colleges 
began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has 
happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so 
doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as 
terrible as Columbine&#39;s tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look 
for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more 
restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private 
liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. Eric and Dylan would 
not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop
 someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real 
villain lies within our own hearts.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &quot;As my son Craig lay under 
that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before
 his very eyes, he did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or
 politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in 
America , and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at 
Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools. Do not let
 the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move 
into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation that 
violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you 
who would point your finger at the NRA -- I give to you a sincere 
challenge.. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first 
stone! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; My daughter&#39;s death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!&quot;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; - Darrell Scott&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;  God Bless&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

 Miller is a comedian who has a show called Dennis Miller Live on HBO. 
Although he is not Jewish, he recently had the following to say about 
the Middle East situation:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &#39;A brief overview of the situation 
is always valuable, so as a service to all Americans who still don&#39;t get
 it, I now offer you the story of the Middle East in just a few 
paragraphs, which is all you really need.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Here we go:&lt;br /&gt; The 
Palestinians want their own country. There&#39;s just one thing about that: 
There are no Palestinians . It&#39;s a made up word. Israel was called 
Palestine for two thousand years. Like &#39;Wiccan,&#39; &#39;Palestinian&#39; sounds 
ancient but is really a modern invention. Before the Israelis won the 
land in the 1967 war, Gaza was owned by Egypt , the West Bank was owned 
by Jordan , and there were no &#39;Palestinians.&#39;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; As soon as the 
Jews took over and started growing oranges as big as basketballs, what 
do you know, say hello to the &#39;Palestinians,&#39; weeping for their deep 
bond with their lost &#39;land&#39; and &#39;nation.&#39;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So for the sake of honesty, let&#39;s not use the word &#39;Palestinian&#39; any &lt;br /&gt;
 more to describe these delightful folks, who dance for joy at our 
deaths until someone points out they&#39;re being taped. Instead, let&#39;s call
 them what they are: &#39;Other Arabs Who Can&#39;t Accomplish Anything In Life 
And Would Rather Wrap Themselves In The Seductive Melodrama Of Eternal 
Struggle And Death.&lt;br /&gt; &#39; I know that&#39;s a bit unwieldy to expect to see 
on CNN. How about this, then: &#39;Adjacent Jew-Haters .&#39; Okay, so the 
Adjacent Jew-Haters want their own country. Oops, just one more thing: 
No, they don&#39;t. They could&#39;ve had their own country. Any time in the 
last thirty years, especially several years ago at Camp David . But If 
you have your own country, you have to have traffic lights and garbage 
trucks. And Chambers of Commerce, and, worse, you actually have to 
figure out some &lt;br /&gt; way to make a living.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; That&#39;s no fun. No, 
they want what all the other Jew-Haters in the region want: Israel. They
 also want a big pile of dead Jews, of course that&#39;s where the real fun 
is -- but mostly they want Israel .&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Why? For one thing, trying to destroy Israel - or &#39;The Zionist Entity&#39; &lt;br /&gt; as their textbooks call it - for the last fifty years has allowed the &lt;br /&gt; rulers of Arab countries to divert the attention of their own people &lt;br /&gt; away from the fact that they&#39;re the blue-ribbon most illiterate, &lt;br /&gt;
 poorest, and tribally backward on God&#39;s Earth, and if you&#39;ve ever been 
around God&#39;s Earth, you know that&#39;s really saying something.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; It
 makes me roll my eyes every time one of our pundits waxes poetic about 
the great history and culture of the Muslim Mideast. Unless I&#39;m missing 
something, the Arabs haven&#39;t given anything to the world since Algebra, 
and, by the way, thanks a hell of a lot for that one.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Chew this around and spit it out: Five hundred million Arabs; five &lt;br /&gt; Million Jews.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Think of all the Arab countries as a football field, and Israel as a &lt;br /&gt;
 pack of matches sitting in the middle of it. And now these same folks 
swear that if Israel gives them half of that pack of matches, everyone 
will be pals.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Really? Wow, what neat news. Hey, but what about 
the string of wars to obliterate the tiny country and the constant din 
of rabid blood oaths to drive very Jew into the sea? Oh, that? We were 
just kidding.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; My friend, Kevin Rooney, made a gorgeous point 
the other day: Just reverse the numbers. Imagine five hundred million 
Jews and five million Arabs. I was stunned at the simple brilliance of 
it. Can anyone picture the Jews strapping belts of razor blades and 
dynamite to themselves? Of &lt;br /&gt; course not. Or marshalling every fiber 
and force at their disposal for generations to drive a tiny Arab State 
into the sea? Nonsense.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Or dancing for joy at the murder of Innocents? Impossible.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Or spreading and believing horrible lies about the Arabs baking their bread with the blood of children? Disgusting.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; No, as you know, left to themselves in a world of peace, the worst Jews would ever do to people is debate them to death.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
 However, in any big-picture strategy, there&#39;s always a danger of losing
 moral weight. We&#39;ve already lost some. After September 11th our 
president told us and the world he was going to root out all terrorists 
and the countries that supported them. Beautiful. Then the Israelis, 
after months and months of having the equivalent of an Oklahoma City 
every week (and then every day) start to do the same thing we did, and 
we tell them to show restraint.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; If America were being attacked 
with an Oklahoma City every day, we would all very shortly be screaming 
for the administration to just be done with it and kill everything south
 of the Mediterranean and east of the Jordan .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
