"Please don't let the IRS scandal distract you from the Benghazi scandal?" How about "Please don't let the Benghazi scandal distract you from the IRS scandal," pay equal attention to them BOTH and don't forget about the AP scandal.....

Conservative Refocus/ The Examiner

By Barry Secrest

What do you get from the Obama Regime when journalists repeatedly ask a severely damaging question ten different ways? Ten different answers, all meaning the same thing, and none of them actually answering the question, insisting that the answer is "irrelevant."

Indeed, if the answer is irrelevant, then why not simply voice it?

The question is very simple, so why is it that no one will admit to where the President was when US soil came under fire in Benghazi? Only the President has the authority to act or not act in such foreign hostility situations, as the case may be.

The urgent call came in and the President failed to perform his assigned duties, it's as simple as that. Or is it? According to the Obama Regime, other branches of the government and their underlings made the bad call, being the CIA and the State Department.

It's also the same with the IRS scandal.  According to Senator Claire McCaskill, however, the problem lies only with the IRS, as she indicates with the following quote:

“We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure that they are removed from the IRS and the word goes out that this is unacceptable,” she said. “It is un-American, it is wrong, and it cannot occur again.”

So, why would an entire US revenue agency be devoted to such a non-revenue generating cause as political harassment?

Notice here that the Senator pointedly directs her remarks towards the IRS only and wants an investigation "down the line" and not "up the line."

However, the problem with this argument is that it assumes that political bias, which is clearly not supposed to be an IRS consideration, was being pursued despite the fact that there would be no actual advantage in agency revenue or otherwise in going after only a certain group or individuals.

So, why would an entire US revenue agency be devoted to such a time-wasting, non-revenue generating cause as political harassment? Once one answers that question, and the answer is quite obvious, then we can see this particular argument going up in smoke.

In addition, we do know that the culpable IRS Commissioner resigned in November, as the story was just being hatched for the public to take note of. We also know that this systemic practice of harassment has been hitting both religious and social groups and individuals nationwide, other than those whom are just socio-political in nature, and not just the 501 c groups.

Ultimately, these attacks are almost impossible to be couched as simply an organic bureaucratic contagion that spread by non-verbal, associative contact, alone.  But, according to satirical writer Andy Borowitz of the New Yorker, here is how Borowitz would, with tongue-in-cheek,  imagine how Obama might have attacked these damaging facts which keep coming out,  in covering a fake radio address by Obama summarizing his plight:

 

“Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.”

The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.”

“The more I learn about the activities of these individuals, the more certain I am that I would not want to be associated with them,” he said. “They sound like bad news.”

Mr. Obama closed his address by indicating that beginning next week he would enforce what he called a “zero tolerance policy on governing.” “If I find that any members of my Administration have had any intimate knowledge of, or involvement in, the workings of the United States government, they will be dealt with accordingly,” he said.

Now that's satire, my friends.

But,  just remember the following as all of these events unfold and many journalists and pundits try to find any perpertator other than El Magnifico:

Critical analysis would seem to dictate that even an infectious disease has a defined traceable origin, and so it is with Obama's great trifecta of highly questionable government activities.

But then again, even after all those play-action figures of warrior Obama taking down Osama Bin Laden single-handedly, we can never discount the possibility that this could all simply be Bush's fault in the end, as well....it's just a matter of time and that defense seems to be Obama's best, on an otherwise very weak bench of the usual suspects.

Finally!

-The Benghazi scandal

-IRS targeting Conservatives, The Tea Party, Christians, Evangelicals, Jews and only Heaven knows who else

-The Obama DOJ actually seized months of phone records of Associated Press journalists secretly

-Obama's EPA also targeted Conservative Groups while giving Liberal and green energy groups carte' blanche

It's as if everything Conservatives have been warning about for the last five years has been proven true and in spades. In the Jon Stewart video above, you get to actually see the gut-reaction of most Liberals upon finding out that their man Obama is not, necessarily, the Messiah they all thought that he was.

More like the Beast, quite frankly.

But, a Liberal Media Star who actually has the intellectual honesty to point out how absurd and completely wrong this Saul Alinsky-style Conservative-Christian-Right-wing targeting is, rather than trying to defend it like many Leftists?

This is the difference between a true old-style Liberal and mindless, Left-Wing, apparatchik-like "Social Liberals." In fact today, in the modern day, Social Liberal is actually code for Socialists or Socialism, a US grouping of pinheads which have grown in number like weeds in the last eight years.

Indeed, Liberals don't always follow the same codes much in the same vein as Conservatives for those who might be surprised at Stewart's reaction.  For instance,  Sen. Rand Paul, a Conservative super-star, has often spoke of himself as a "classical government Liberal" which essentially means less government and more Liberty, a thing completely in opposition to the radical Liberals of today.

Hmmm.... really, many might be saying right now?

Yes, it is true but one must remember that the times and the history dictate the defining of the various ideologies as the meanings sway and blur over the years. The Founders, who set forth the foundation of America, were in fact, classical government Liberals. This is mainly because, in their day, the Founders were bucking the trends of current tradition and thought, and setting off on a completely new path and form of government, which was not at all conventional in its time.

Thus they were the Liberals of their time, but as their ideological brilliance grew and spread into the mainstream of the day, it became more of a foundation of US political tradition, which embarks the term Conservative in the modern day.

We Conservatives may not agree with Stewart on most political points, but at least we can respect him as one of the few on the radicalized Left who stands mostly on principle.  However,  Stewart runs a comedy show, for heaven's sake, albeit one highly successful.

Which leads us to the next big story as it regards principles or rather those who show a rather startling lack of any principles whatsoever.....

In the above clip we can see holder showing opossum-like outrage at Rep. Darrell Issa's audacity at calling him out for sending 1,200 emails with nothing but the "To and From" headers

Apparently, Holder thinks it perfectly normal to delete all the contents of congressionally requested emails, other than the "To and From" headers.

He feigns outrage, in fact, at being questioned about such a normal and typical thing, to him.  A typical Saul Alinksy maneuver, by the way, feigning outrage at the outraged response of doing a clearly outrageous thing.

When Issa challenged him on the blank emails, Holder stated this:

It is inappropriate and too consistent with the way in which you conduct yourself as a member of Congress," the attorney general said. "It is unacceptable. And it's shameful."

Unacceptable and shameful? Quite frankly, Holders idiomatic response could be a neat summary of his frequent and illegitimate escapades as a US Attorney General.

This particular drama is due to the congressional hearing being held on May 15, 2013 over what has become Obama's Towering Inferno of an Administration.

But then, after all of this, the President went and made it "all good" by firing the acting IRS Commissioner. Unfortunately for Obama, there is one, really, really, monster- big problem with Obama's pathetic ploy.

The ceremonial faux IRS execution that took place under the leadership of El Magnifico, was all for show,  ladies and gentlemen.

The fall-guy Commissioner, Steven Miller, who was already slated to leave in June, as interim Commissioner, was fired by Obama today.

However, Obama fall-guy Commissioner Steven Miller was not even in place a at the IRS until November of 2012.

Yes indeed, hired on Nov. 10, 2012 is the actual date.

The IRS targeting took place all the way back into, at least, 2011 and probably before that, as many of those who dissent and got punished, sometimes severely, can factually attest.

No, it would seem that we need to investigate the former commissioner, Douglas Schulman, who was hired in 2008 and left in 2012, when this story truly began percolating out into political circles and the media.

Indeed, he was the bureaucrat in charge of an agency which tried to make anyone who disagreed, or held a different belief or even faith, miserable for not bowing to the President's urgent need to transform America by any and all means available.

Obama apparently thinks the American people are well beyond stupid, and he might be about half correct, at this point. But anyone who thinks this solves the entire problem and absolves the president has drank far too much Kool-aid.

Maybe now would be a good time to revisit Obama's birth certificate too.... I mean , we might as well while we're about it......

Well, it appears that the Benghazi dam has broke and all of the information that has been withheld is now gushing forth from no less than government whistleblowers, but how will it affect his Eminence? Many believe that Obama's 2nd term could be cut short, however either way, the Obama agenda has been side-tracked even further, which is a good thing, no doubt.

The question now becomes will the mainstream media beyond Fox and other conservative outlets cover this debacle? Even if the establishment media does try to sidetrack the facts from the hearings, the Regime appears to be in a spate of even more rough-going for the near future. More on this as it developes.

Which also brings us to what could be termed the nadir of Obama-think as can be seen in the Youtube video above. Does this guy even believe himself? We don't think so.

It is, indeed, Interesting that in the midst of El Magnifico's 2nd "executive Order" term, President Obama is urging students to "reject" anyone that warns of government tyranny, especially after the force-passed 20,000 Page regulatory Obamacare debacle that continues to unfold.

But what do other, perhaps, greater Presidents say about government tyranny?

Glad you asked:

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty~Thomas Jefferson

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master~George Washington

Liberty cannot be preserved without general knowledge among the people~John Adams

Don't interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties~Abraham Lincoln

And then we have Barack Obama, who says:

They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner, you should reject these voices~Barack Obama

Indeed.

Below is the full text:

OBAMA: Unfortunately, you've grown up hearing voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity that's at the root of all our problems. Some of these same voices also do their best to gum up the works. They'll warn that tyranny always lurking just around the corner. You should reject these voices. Because what they suggest is that our brave, and creative, and unique experiment in self-rule is somehow just a sham with which we can't be trusted.

We have never been a people who place all our faith in government to solve our problems. We shouldn't want to. But we don't think the government is the source of all our problems, either. Because we understand that this democracy is ours. And as citizens, we understand that it's not about what America can do for us, it's about what can be done by us, together, through the hard and frustrating but absolutely necessary work of self-government. And class of 2013, you have to be involved in that process.

Any questions?

But the miasma of misinformation didn't stop there, none other than Dick "The Landslide" Morris decided to get in on the act of blaming  Conservative Icon Rush Limbaugh, for not being establishment enough and even losing elections for the Republicans who seem to do a bang-up job on their own. However, most CR readers know how attacking El Rushbo flies with this site, so here was our response in defense of Rush:

I like Dick Morris, don't get me wrong, but I love Rush Limbaugh, having practically grown up with him, and it's certainly not Rush's fault that Dick didn't get the landslide for Romney that he predicted in front of God and everyone and then disappeared for a few months, understandably.

I would have never made that prediction,  by the way, despite high hopes.

But Dick did make the prediction and he was stunningly wrong then, just as he's stunningly wrong now. You don't give these illegals amnesty or even free squatting rights without securing the border first "period," Dick, you spectacular pinhead and you should know this by now.

You cannot trust the Radical Democrats to secure the border on a future promise, especially when these 12 million new voters cast their Democratic votes as newly minted citizens, Dick, you inimitable dumbass.

You want identity politics, Dick? Then go over to the Democrats, which by the way, is where you were once long ago as Clinton's chief adviser. Now seriously, can anyone imagine Rush or even me being Obama's chief advisor?

I didn't think so and therein lies Dick's rub.  (and I'm being nice here Dicky)

Does Dick really want to alienate himself by taking on the titular head of American conservatism?

Guess so.

But the rebuttals didn't end there, when Barney Frank decided to take on the Tea Party one more time by comparing the Party to Al Qaeda, of all things.  The Washington Examiner stated the following about Frank's remarks, and  we kindly integrated our remarks right back at Mr. Frank, as follows:

Former Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., responding to al-Qaeda’s criticism of his sexual orientation in the latest issue of their magazine, compared the terrorist organization to the Tea Party and cracked that the two groups are “aligned” with each other against gay marriage.

CR Notes:

This, from the guy who is allied with the Occupy anarchists?

The Tea Party, to my knowledge, is not at all concerned about gay marriage. Marry anyone you want, just don't ask us to sanction it as a traditional marriage, pinhead.

“I wonder how the right wing in America feels about being aligned with al-Qaeda?” Frank said to Buzzfeed, adding that “there is an irony that the most active anti-gay [groups] are al-Qaeda and the American right-wing.”

CR: Indeed? al-Qaeda is an Islamic extremist group predicated on Leftist totalitarian control and constantly defended by Left-Wing groups such as the Democrat Party, the Liberal media, and of course, the President.

That is the true irony, and where might Barney the pervert dinosaur fit into all of that, is the actual question at play.

The latest issue of Al-Qaeda’s Inspire magazine spotlights “Barney Frank, Gay Congressman, Symbol of the American Dream” to argue that the United States is “a nation standing on no values.”

"It sounded like what the Tea Party said when I got married,” Frank replied.

CR: Thou do'st protest to much, quite frankly, Mr. Frank.

Neither I, nor many of my erstwhile bretheren have even thought about you or your churlish singular wit since you got run out of your congressional district. I know that's painful, but we've all been dealing with the banking meltdown that you helped cause.

Plus, we can't all run lucrative male prostitution rings out of our garages, you know. I mean, where we would park our pick-up trucks?

But, remember what you said in early 2008, as the head of the congressional banking committee? "Fannie May and Freddie Mac are healthy, nothing to worry about," right.....we saw what that got us.....double-pinhead

Frank’s comments come about a week after an NPR analyst suggested that “anti-government, right-wing” terrorists attacked the Boston Marathon.

Then, ladies and Gentlemen, there was this:

Since when did Congress begin administering joint resolutional labotomies? Imagine a world without balloons, Liberal Democrat Hank Johnson says. Perchance, imagine a world without elected buffoons, we respond.

He was talking about the federal helium reserve management and it's apparent funding...yeah, we have one of those departments and we probably spend millions on it.

But do we also have a federal elected moron management department? If so, heads should be rolling, and soon. However that action would have to be run through the federal head-rolling reserve department for approval, no doubt.

One glance and any quick listen to Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson, and despite the bedlam lying all around us, you actually begin to feel lucky in ruminating over the fact that despite this type of vacuous leadership, America has still managed to somehow stay afloat.

Now, for those who think the Congressman was just kidding, due to the ultra-high levels of dumb and even dumber, there's this:

The Admiral in this clip should get an award for his unparalleled ability at not falling over in insane, body convulsive, laughter when confronted with unashamed hyper-stupidity. If this guy were a Republican, he would have been long gone or worse.

Maybe it's simply Hank's congressional district:

Stone Mountain.

That would explain much.....

Conservative Refocus Reports

By Barry Secrest

What is it that is now happening to both America and our world?

Our formerly impregnable walls of security have now been breached twice, in a major way, leading to both death and destruction not only to our own people, but also in many ways to our way of life.

Things have been changing quite dramatically in only the last score of years and to such a degree that billions are increasingly searching for answers and the truth, but more often than not, in all the wrong places. But, what if those answers that we so desperately are seeking have always been easily available to us, if we were to but travel all the way back to our roots, as a nation?

It has been true since the beginning of recorded history and even beyond that. In the earliest days of human history, glyphs and mysterious symbols have been etched into the timeless permanency of stone by ancient man. From massive markings often miles in formation made on earth's many plains only to be seen from strikingly unattainable altitudes, to ruins of ancient mystical origin frequently difficult to trace or even decode for modern man.

Humankind has always tried to divine either meaning or portent from past events to include prophetic texts, especially as they might approach future events delving often into the wholly archaic, in many cases.  For instance, Astrology, the use of stars to foretell man's comings and goings, is an ancient system obviously still in use, which fuels millions of internet searches daily, and which can generally be found in most morning papers. What many left-stream editors  probably fail to understand is that ancient mythology holds that the Archangel Michael was the divine being responsible for delivering the precepts of astrology to man.

The Gathering Storm

In that particular vein and on this site, stretching over the years, we have delved into a number of questions that have bedeviled any sort of rational explanation along with a rather startling amount of apostasies that have plagued both America and the world as a whole. From Earthquakes that sparked conspiracy theories of underground nuclear blasts on the US East Coast or para-Presidential security agents who seemed to visually morph into something else altogether unworldly, to even seeming  governmentally involved False-Flag operations which habitually confound the mainstream media to even glance momentarily in a different direction, despite certain evidences to the contrary lying clearly all about.

Meanwhile Peppered in between these articles which seek to question, visitors will find journalistic stories and often unconventional Conservative opinion articles also dealing with everyday political events and what they might mean to each of us, while forever being centered upon traditional precepts.

If there are questions that seem to defy the standard group think model, we atypically, if not unabashedly, ask those questions.

In that vein, Eschatology, also referred to as apocalypticism, is defined by the Oxford Dictionary as "The theological sciences concerned with the four last things: death, judgment, heaven and hell," and which is exactly where our X-files type of extreme curiosity leads us within this particular project.

The Daniel Project

These reasons, among many others, are why we found the documentary titled The Daniel Project (Facebook link) to be an astonishing work that should not be ignored by anyone, especially for those who still hold a belief that the truth is out there.

In America, with the changes wrought both for and by the government in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the subsequent 2008 financial meltdowns, and even the more recent attacks in Boston, a new societal paradigm has emerged largely predicated on a mass governmental breakdown of its historical function reaching mythic proportions.

This new paradigm now encompasses an America comprised of a significant number of citizens readying themselves in myriad ways, from Preppers who seek survival in a post-apocalyptic world to the "End of Days" believers who are dedicated to the proposition of a coming world tribulation period as laid down by biblical scriptures.

The political Left will often laugh at any such precepts offered by religion with a special emphasis on Protestantism and Catholicism, while the mainstream media will more often than not run stories designed to denigrate and debase these same belief systems, while upholding the murderous machinations of fundamentalist Islam.  This, despite a US population that far more often than not holds a belief in a greater truth, or Judeo-Christian God of Goodness, to the tune of about 87%.

This alone, should speak volumes to those who hold a special type of understanding that many of the less spiritually inclined simply cannot fathom, or find stupid beyond belief, as the idiomatic case may be.

"Only the Wise Will Understand"

However, with the hundreds of predictions found throughout both the old and new testaments of the Bible, these prophecies in fact reveal an "astonishing panorama of future events" which appear to be,  even now, coming true, like it or not. So, even if one might be a skeptic, non-believer, or even an Atheist, anyone who views the following predictions from ancient texts will tend to come away with an unsettled spirit if, indeed, they truly hold an open and critical mind.

But, there is that one other element as proclaimed by the biblical Prophet Daniel being "only the wise in the final generation would understand," and this is where we begin within the alarming precepts of the Daniel Project, while focusing on an entirely different type of politics altogether, for a change, which is but one more piece of the puzzle that we have constantly referred to at this site.

As we move through the precepts of the Daniel Project there are several things to note.  As a writer and one unusually familiar with the prophetic texts in combination with world events, I have at times taken the liberty of lending my own research and knowledge within the ideas as presented by the Daniel Project in order to add an additional dimension. The results, while chilling, provide at least a foundation of understanding for those who are unfamiliar but may wish to learn more. Many regular readers may have also noted the additional time between what are normally once per week article additions to this website, however, this is due to the massive amount of additional research required to properly undertake this type of project.

So, behold, as they say, let's look at the evidence as presented by The Daniel Project thus far:

Biblical Prediction #1 and #2-Jews will be exiled, scattered and persecuted throughout the world and then regathered

(Book of Deuteronomy ~ written 2,500 years ago)

To most people living in the western world and especially to western Christians, the extraordinary amount of hatred and cruelty historically lavished on the Jewish people is a thing that routinely inspires confusion. Why do they hate the Jews so?  Throughout time and from ancient Egypt, the Russian Pogroms and, of course, Hitler's nearly successful attempt at Jewish Genocide to the tune of over 6 million dead, Jewish hatred has left many non-Jews and Jews alike often dazed and confused at how a people could engender so much hate.  So, why is this?

Many believe that the answer can be found in Deuteronomy Chapter 12 in which God indicates that the Jews are God's chosen people and also where the verse goes on to exclaim that "whoever blesses the Jews will be blessed and whosoever curses the Jews will be cursed."  When one begins to understand who, exactly, God's chief adversary is, one can also then understand why hatred of the Jews might be a foregone conclusion to this proliferation of hate--it makes sense.  Indeed, a well-worn word was crafted for this very thing which we refer to as "anti-Semitism."

Not missing here is the fact that America, much like Israel, tends to be almost equally hated in much of the world, however there is one particularly stunning school of thought that deals with this phenomenon as well.

The main point being, however, that approximately 600 years prior to the event, it was foretold in the Bible that the Jews would be scattered and persecuted throughout the world--which has subsequently been proven true and is the Genesis of our story, which also includes the Jews regathering over 2,548 years later in Israel...an amazing thing unto itself and yet it was foretold six centuries in advance of the scattering and 2.5 millennia prior to the regathering.

Remarkable.

Biblical Prediction #3- Within the last days, the Jews will be returned to their homeland

(Book of Ezekiel ~ written 2,500 years ago)

Anyone who reads the story of how the United Nations, often now at odds with anything Semitic, helped to create a partition plan allowing the Israeli's to repatriate their homeland in 1947 and directly after World War II, might be astounded. Yet, as promised over 2,500 years ago, the Jews did eventually find their homeland after being scattered the world over, and resettled in Israel in the years following 1948 via UN mandate.

"It was predicted, and it happened" as The Daniel Project's Jacob Prasch will repeatedly assert throughout both this text and in the documentary.

The unsettling thing to remember, within the above heading, is the phrase "within the last days."

Biblical Prediction# 4-Israel will become the center of world tension

(Book of Zechariah ~ written 2,500 years ago)

It's a known fact that in modern times the Muslims and the Arab world at large have always held claim to the lands which Israel now owns and occupies. But does the Arab world, in fact, have a legitimate claim to the land? Do the Native Americans have sole right to all lands possessed by the US government and citizens? Should we, as Americans, just give the land back? That's ridiculous, most Americans would say, and they would be right in doing so.

The struggles for the land of Israel between Arabs, Israelis, Muslims and Jews have gone on almost endlessly throughout time. Indeed, whoever holds the land at any given time, it should be noted, is the one that holds clear rights to the land. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, as they say.

But as to the 4th prediction, can anyone doubt that Israel is not at the center of world tension in this modern day?  When we view the history of this mideast region, these tensions are nothing new, in fact, wars of conquest have been repeatedly fought all the way back to 1,200 BCE with various Rulers taking and retaking and then losing the land that is now Israel throughout its entire history. It wasn't until the British retook the land from the Ottomans, in World War 1, who had in turn seized it from the Syrians about 500 years prior, that the modern-day return of the Israeli's to their homeland could be made possible. However, only after the heinous genocide of WW2 and once again under a UN mandate, did the Israeli's finally return to their homeland.

The fact that all of this was predicted by a man living 2,500 years in advance? Remarkable, once again. How could a Prophet who lived over 2,500 years ago possibly know this would happen and get it exactly right?

Biblical Prediction #5-The lost language of Hebrew will be restored to Israel, as with the shekel also, in the last days

(Book of Zephania, book of Ezekiel ~ written 2,500 years ago)

Language death or linguicide is an actual form of study in linguistics; however, the fascinating thing, for our purposes, is the fact that most instances of language death are rarely if ever reversible. Yet, as we are now learning, the Jewish people seem able to constantly find ways to bedevil prevailing conventions, and so it is with the Hebrew language.

Hebrew, as a commonly spoken tongue, died in the late antiquity period just before the middle ages. So, how did it come back? There is no singular answer to this question; however, experts place the comeback of the language in the time of the 19th century. The Jewish shekel, a form of currency, was also dead for over 1,900 years, and yet somehow found its way back into circulation in 1997.

The operative point here, and truly a goosebump-inspiring notation to be sure, is that the scripture in Ezekiel indicates that "in the last days both the shekel and the Hebrew language will be revived."

"It was predicted and it has happened.

Biblical Prediction# 6 and #7- In the last days, pools of water will appear in the deserts; Fruits, Forests, Vineyards and Olive Groves will arise from the dust

(Books of Isaiah and Ezekiel ~ written 2,500 years ago)

The desert that was Israel was barren of life for almost 2,000 years.  So, how is it that what once was desert wasteland would later become a veritable Garden of Eden? Even better, how is it that for almost 2,500 years prior, these events would be prophesied in two books of the Bible? The several verses speaking to this eventuality speak of firs and the cypress growing in abundance, the earth being filled with fruit. What could not have been predicted was the vast increase in knowledge that has occurred in the last two millennium owing to the art and engineering of advanced irrigation and growing techniques.

Israel pictured above in 1865

Today, according to Wikipedia, Israel is a major exporter of fresh produce and a world leader in agricultural technologies, despite a landmass equivalent to the approximate size of New Jersey. Israel, unlike anywhere else in the largely arid Arab world, has become, in effect, an oasis in the desert.

"It was predicted and once again it happened."~ Jacob Prasch, Bible Expositor

Biblical Prediction #8-Man-made and natural disasters will increase in the End of Days

(Books of Matthew, Mark, and Acts ~ written appx. 1,960 years ago)

“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and sedition; these are the beginning of the labor pains.”~Mark 13:7-8

The key here to remember is that throughout all of history both natural and man-made disasters have always occurred in a diversity of places and times.  However, the four predictions indicated here, and resultantly the scriptures, specify an increase in both intensity and knowledge of these events.

The knowledge comes to us by way of a now highly interconnected international web and media, along with the natural increase in populations of areas which were only sparsely populated in times not far past.

These four major types of signs include:

Environmental- including natural disaster, famines and pestilence, hurricanes, tsunamis and quakes intensified and viraled by both the worldwide web and international media.

Wars and Rumors of Wars- Catastrophes that are man-made, specifically to include ethnic tensions between ethnic nations; civil wars, and governmental breakdowns will occur is a series of chained events.

Astronomical Signs-changes in the sun, meteors, comets and asteroids will all be increasingly visible.

Moral Collapse-Churches, governments and even society itself will exercise moral relativism unlike any other time in modern history.

Just in this sense alone, we can see a convergence of each of these types of events all seemingly occurring with both an increased intensity and frequency. But are we seeing the worst of this convergence now or are there even more horrible events yet to come?

Biblical Prediction#9-Lawlessness, Moral Collapse and Social Breakdown

(Book of Timothy ~ written 1,950 years ago)

As the Arab Spring has either toppled or is toppling empire after Mideast empire, while Islamic Sharia law takes a firm hold on the lands of the Mideast, we have already seen a panoply of Christian persecutions taking place. Christian crucifixions, rapes and even beheadings are at an all-time high in modern history, and this, just in the last five years.  In addition, for the first time in US history, the sitting leader of the Free World was declared the "First Gay US President" by a leading media magazine.

"Perilous times shall come - Times of danger, of persecution, and of trial."

Meanwhile, western society is said to have become "post-Christian and neo-pagan," says Jacob Prasch, which speaks to a prophetic series of cultural breakdowns unparalleled in modern times, but also, within the Christian Church.

"It was predicted, and it is happening now."

Who, in truth, would have thought even only a score of years ago, that published government manuals of today speak to  published warnings of the dangers of so-called Christian extremism and phantom Right-Wing terrorism, which in those days would have been so unthinkable as to leave any administration backing such precepts politically stranded if not completely ruined.

Yet, it is happening right now and right here in an America, with these same very belief systems that actually built America.  Now, Christianity and Judaism are often being held out as both archaic and even reprehensible, in far too many circles. While those things which oppose Judeo-Christian Values are held up as shining examples of both multi-culturalism, acceptance and Progress.

Biblical Prediction#10-Christian Apostasy, Mass Spiritual Delusion, and a Great Leader

(Book of 2nd Timothy ~ written 1,950 years ago)

While an increasingly large number of Churches have, in the recent past, fallen under what many might term the slippery slope of feel-good religions,  the number of individuals who have fallen victim to certain groups which they thought were Protestant only to later learn rather painfully that they were not. Financial con artists and certian so-called Christian Televangelists have turned the Church into a laughing-stock of greedy caricatures, while unabashedly begging for money, and sometimes even much worse.

These groups, while always present in one form or another, have in the modern day reached what could be described as a plague of delusions built largely for financial gain to the proprietor. The Bible refers to this period as "The Great Apostasy" or departure from the truth. According to Jacob Prasch, this is associated with "The man of lawlessness," also a metaphor for the anti-Christ, who God will allow to deceive many of those whom are in search of a new Messiah.

"As the world strains under the weight of humanitarian issues, mankind will desperately seek a new leader, a savior."~Jacob Prasch

Biblical Prediction # 11- A Great Leader to Bring Peace Within A New World Order- and biblical prediction# 12-Resulting in one-world government, a forced financial system, state control

(Book of Revelation~written 1,900 years ago)

The words "A new world order" have been repeated more and more often in the last two decades by political leaders more than any other time in US history. Although author H.G. Wells seemed to first write of such an order in his book of essentially the same name written in 1940 which expounded largely on the wonders of Socialism, George H.W. Bush was the first to use the actual term in a speech in late 1990.

So, how does this tie in with biblical prophecy? Many biblical scholars believe that several Revelation references to "One World Government" dovetail perfectly with the meaning behind the words "new world order" that can be found in Revelation chapter 13: 7, which states:

"The beast was permitted to go to war against the saints and conquer them. He was given ruling authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation"

Biblical experts further believe that the United Nations will be the organization at the heart of such power.  An increasing loss of confidence in the world's leading financial systems and then the various national economies faltering will cause the rise of a single world financial system.  According to Jacob Prasch, this, coupled with a grand convergence of natural calamities and the terror that ensues will cause many individuals to seek security and leadership from both a political and religious leader who claims to have the answers to virtually everything  "and they'll get one."

Prasch notes that this is the man that the scriptures refer to as "the man of sin" or the "anti-Christ" who will act as a sort of "redeemer figure." This individual will be able to bring together all of the world's faiths via a political agenda and a "corrupted world religious system."  Many, in addition, believe that the country which has the greatest capacity to produce such a figure is America, however, this is not necessarily a given, all belying evidence to the contrary.

The problem with the advent of such an individual deemed as a one-world government leader will be the loss of liberties and democracy throughout the world, as the resultant absolute power of such a central goverment over national-regional governments will cause absolute corruption. This is where unconstrained tyranny will take over and man will once again be at the mercy of his own singular government creation, the world over.

Who or what could stand against such a power?

Here also is where a forced financial system, after numerous currency failures, and the much talked about "mark of the Beast" will be set upon each world citizen either in their right hand or forehead. This mark would seem to represent a new financial system or currency which is embedded or marked upon each person in order to buy or trade--which could now be achieved through existing digital micro-technology.

The scriptures further indicate that anyone who does not receive such a mark will be executed.

But then, how could a veritable primitive who lived almost two thousand years ago predict such a thing that appears relatively easily achieved in this modern day?

Biblical Prediction# 13- A Peace Treaty signed yet a military coalition strikes Israel, Tribulation ensues

(Prophet Daniel and the Book of Revelation ~ written over 1,900 years ago)

At this point in human history, the last seven years of the age will have been reached which some refer to as the Tribulation period. The long sought after and all-encompassing peace treaty between Israel and other Middle East states will finally be signed at the beginning of this final seven years.

However, the anti-Christ who initially presented himself as a man of peace and who inaugurated the agreement with Israel will break the peace agreement mid-way through this final seven years. Also, at this time, the Prophet Daniel states that the ancient nation of Persia, which is now modern-day Iran, will rise up against Israel and war will ensue.

Here, it would be prudent to point out, that the Islamic nation of Iran's religious government leaders, not to mention millions of Muslims everywhere, believe in what is known as the 12th Imam or Mahdi who will come back to rule the nations at the end of time. In the prophetic texts of the Koran, this fearful leader will seek to wipe out the nation of Israel and its supporters while heralding a new age.  Indeed, many religious leaders within the Islamic faith, including the theocratic leaders of Iran, believe that chaos is the only thing that will hasten the "Hidden Imam's" return which is what the religious Islamic nation of Iran seems often enough to be hedging its national health upon.

However, it's not just the nation of Iran, but rather the entire Islamic fundamentalist world which often seems intent in forcing its belief systems and law on the nations. Many believe that the Arab spring movement may be the final precurser to an Islamic Caliphate, a confederation of Islamic States which many Islamists are even now touting.

Could this powerful Caliphate eventually come to be the embodiment of the anti-Christ so talked about in Revelation?

The chaos of war, these Islamic fundamentalist leaders believe, will hasten the 12th Imam's return which could  be why Iran often appears to be desperately seeking a nuclear weapon, and at any cost, in order to spark the return of the 12th Imam and initiate a nuclear exchange with Israel. According to Jacob Prasch, "we are told by Ezekiel that Russia, Turkey and the nations of Soviet central Asia will come into some type of military confederation with Iran to invade Israel" but this attack will fail due to a type of divine intervention which will impart natural disasters ostensibly as the attack takes place.

Interesting that these particular alliances only seemed possible in just the last five years....and they were foretold over 2,500 years ago.

Biblical Predictions #14, #15 , #16 & #17-~Physical Signs~The Return, an earthquake which splits The Mount of Olives, water flowing beneath Jerusalem, the Rebuilding of the Jewish Temple and the East gate remains sealed

(Books of Zechariah & Ezekiel ~ written 2,500 years ago)

"And his feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall split in the middle thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south."~Zech.14:4

The Fissure

With modern technology, we know already that a tectonic fissure exists which runs along the center of the Mount of Olives. According to scriptures, the Messiah's return will herald a great earthquake which both splits and moves the Mountain of ancient history apart. This will also cause fresh water to flow from underneath the Mount and towards the Dead Sea changing the entire environment.  In addition to this, we also know of the fresh streams of waters as verified by archeologists indeed flowing underneath both the city of Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives.

But, how could an ancient prophet of over 2,500 years ago known of this tectonic fissure and a subterranean aquifer in the middle of what was a desert? Even better?  The Biblical prediction that the Dead Sea will teem with sea life after this event unfolds.

According to Jacob Prasch, the Prophet Isaiah foretells that the Messiah Jesus' return will originate at the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, but will culminate in his descending down upon the Mount of Olives making all of these astounding events take place, sequentially.

The Temple

Apocalypticists have long known and have established as a sort of bookmark in time marking the end days, that according to biblical prophecy, the event to watch closely for is the rebuilding of the Great Temple in Jerusalem. Remarkably, the cornerstone of this soon to be rebuilt Temple, weighing 13 tons was presented to the world on May 21st, 2009. The Temple Institute, which is a Levitical organization dedicated to the new Temple's construction, has recently expanded its visitor's center three-fold and continues to gather artifacts to be housed in the new temple.

All the pieces appear to be in place, but can and will it happen?

The East Gate

The golden gate, as it was also called,  holds several deeply religious meanings for the Jews, which is largely why the gate was sealed back in the 1500's by Ottoman conqueror Suleiman the Magnificent. Suleiman also placed a cemetery in front of the gate in order to keep Jewish Holy Priests from being able to enter or exit through the gate, as their entering a cemetery is ostensibly not allowed , which is part of the reason for Suleiman's tactics.

The remarkable thing here is that, once again, the sealing of the gate and the fact that the continuance of this condition was predicted almost 2,000 years before the fact and continues to this day.

Biblical Prediction # 18~ The Kings of the East cross the Euphrates River for a great war

(Books of Ezekiel & Revelation ~ written 2,500 & 1,900 years ago respectively)

I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. 31 ~The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.~Joel 2:30-31

The Bible foretells in Revelation that the kings of the East, who many believe is the nation of China and or Russia along with her ancillary nations, will cross the Euphrates in an invasion of  the Mideast and in preparation for war against Israel and perhaps Israel's western allies.

The scriptures, in anticipation of this event, speak to the "angels bound at the River Euphrates" to lead 2oo million men in battle. The remarkable thing here is the fact that going back through ancient history, at no time was there ever a population capable of producing, arming, and supporting such a massive army of men. Yet, in modern day, the Chinese army currently lists an active duty capacity of about 318 million men fit for military service, which is about the size of the currrent US population, if we include illegals.

Interestingly, and at the time of this prophecy of over 1,900 years ago, the population of planet Earth has been estimated at about 100 million  people. So, how could an ancient prophet understand that the Earth would be heavily populated [enough] to support this massive of an army?

According to Jacob Prasch,  The Ataturk dam in Turkey which could block or restrict the flow of the river southward allowing such a massive army's passage possible. Ataturk Dam lies just off the border of Syria.  This possible drying up or stoppage of the Euphrates would also cause crop failures and incredible starvation In Iraq. Prasch further indicates that according to the scriptures, this will cause one of the worst holocausts of all time.

But the Kings of the East will be gathering for a singular reason.....

Biblical Prediction#19~Armegeddon, the war to end all wars

(Books of Revelation, Matthew, Jeremiah, and Zechariah-each written over 1,900 years ago)

Yet another interesting note, this final war to end all wars appears to be in no less than 4 scriptural texts and perhaps even more:

For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now--and never to be equaled again. 22 If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect  those days will be shortened.~Matthew 24:21-22

So which countries might find themselves in such a terrible coalition?

Interestingly, we have already stated such a military confederation, in fact. In the 13th prediction Ezekiel states that "Russia, Turkey and the nations of central Asia will come into some type of military confederation with Iran to invade Israel." The scriptures seem to further allude to weaponry  akin to nuclear technology. We further know that the eastern powers of North Korea, possibly Iran, China, Russia and Pakistan  each has an arsenal of nuclear weaponry.

So, are the pieces of the puzzle now ready to be engaged?

Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.~Revelation 16:16

Armageddon mentioned here has long been a subject of considerable biblical discussion. The Valley of Megiddo does exist in modern times and is a plain located in Israel that has seen several ancient historical battles. However also, the scriptures clearly indicate that without divine intercession, "man's days would be numbered." a chilling thought when prefaced by the fact that these words were, once again, written at a time when nuclear technology was not even an idea.

And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.~Jeremiah 24:33

So, who will oppose these forces from the East and stand with Israel?

It seems clear that Israel and the US will probably be standing together in these end times, especially if we take into account the fact that "the dead will lie from one end of the world unto the other"--only the US arsenal seems capable of countering the combined might of  Russian and China in a nuclear exchange. But why would these countries align themselves against Israel and America? When we take into account the fact that Israel seems hated the world over and combine this with the fact that the US over the last five years, has been seen by most countries as a weakening super-power--even unto its own leadership, then we can see how this scenario might, indeed, be possible.

Remember that Iran is a nation which is allied with both Russia and China, while also remembering that the Chinese-Russo alliance was only established very recently in history.  But, will Israeli aggression against Iran's nuclear aims cause these forces to gather? Or will an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Israel and an Israeli-American response be the keystone in this prophetic event?

And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.~Zechariah 14:12

If Israel saw a force of over 200 million men marching on it, what other avenue of defense other than nuclear technology, might be available? Israel's population alone is only about 8 million people. Now, does this prophecy sound either so absurd or patently impossible?

Biblical Prediction # 20~ Only the wise will understand and escape

(Prophet Daniel~written over 2,100 years ago)

According to Jacon Prasch, the Prophet Daniel indicates that the scriptures clearly state that only the wise will understand these prophecies, which to many, must seem glaringly accurate especially at this point in history. However, Prasch further notes that Daniel also makes it known that "The Wicked" will not understand. Prasch also postulates that according to both Daniel and Jesus, there will be a way to escape this particular hell on earth scenario.

So there you have it, the terrifyingly realistic prophecies as evidenced by  The Daniel Project, which also states that since this work was published, even more signs have occurred which fall into line in support of these prophetic texts.

Conclusions

Jeremy Hitchen does a masterful job in presenting the movie as a skeptic. Bible Expositor, Jacob Prasch, also presents a stunning panoply of knowledge in describing the events as they unfold, but also as one who originally sought to scientifically disprove the Bible, earlier on in his career.

In putting this article together my very able and extraordinarily educated editor and producer, who has not been formally submerged with the prophetic texts of the Bible, and as a former college academian,  has come away with a feeling of being absolutely blown away by what she has both seen and heard, especially with how ancient biblical texts written over two millennia ago can be so stunningly accurate now, in the modern day.

She was truly frightened as the prophecies came together.

However, we must add that this particular article is only an expansive  summary of what is contained visually within the movie of the same name titled, "The Daniel Project." If you would like to see these texts brought to life,  we would urge you to see the movie for yourself and make your own decisions and conclusions.

"About the time of the end,  a  body of men  will  be raised  up  who will  turn their  attention  to  the Prophecies,and insist on their literal interpretation,  in the midst  of much clamor and opposition."

~Sir Isaac Newton, Mathematician and the father of modern science

We ran a story earlier which has stunned many establishment media watchers, to include one fairly prominent former journalist/author in the US close to me, simply because the US media has not yet chosen to widely run this story. The story involves additional arrests and suspects related to a Boston area terror-cell which the bombers were allegedly part of. The story appears further down in this column.

The point simply is the fact that none within the US media are covering this story which has appeared only in the United Kingdom media and later in Conservative blogs and the alternative media.

Now, many might wonder, why is that? The answer is fairly simple but encompasses several reasons.

The first reason being that the Obama regime media lap-dogs, which are comprised of most major news outlets, are fearful that this will weaken the administration's political agenda. Indeed, at the DNC this year, the entire function was dedicated largely to the fact that Obama had beaten back Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations.

That facet has since been proven to be a lie or at least a gross distortion at best, but is certainly in concert with the civilization jihadist goals of stealthy media-think infiltration by Islamists.

The second reason would ostensibly be that the heavily infiltrated media does not view radical Islamists as a threat to America, at least not in the news.  Remember when they were hoping that the attack was from a 'lone-wolf,' Tea Party, white-guy, Right-Wing extremist over taxes and patriotism? The media has long been in the tank for the religion of Islam while largely despising the nation's Christian foundation.

By the way, Islamic Jihadism is considered Left-Wing extremism

The third reason would be both from an immigration standpoint and also from the 2nd amendment argument; it's hard to disarm a nation under attack from religious fanatic terrorist cells and it's even harder to push broader immigration reform when our leaky borders have allowed numerous terrorist cells to operate in the US.

But if it becomes news that's undeniable; why do they not run it, you might now be thinking? The answer, once again, is fairly simple. The media must first work out a narrative that endeavor's to support their worldview, while still reporting something that which they do not wish to be widely known.  It's in effect allowing each colluding member to "get their collective ducks in a row" so to speak, while also hoping that something comes along, in vain I might add, that pushes this story well below headline material.

It's happened before, and it will happen again.

So there you have your initial reasoning as to why all of this "simply is."

Three things to remember about this story:

First: There were three unexploded bombs that were dismantled (as confirmed by an FBI agent) which were later denied in  the Boston marathon bombing, which would seem to indicate that more than just the two brothers were involved.

Second: The Saudi National, which a number of Conservative news outlets are focusing on, could be the missing link in this bizarre story, as mostly reported by Glenn Beck and confirmed by multiple congress persons who have access to ICE documents.

Third: The DHS has summarily denied any implication of guilt towards the Saudi National, who is slated to be deported as quickly as possible due to terrorist connections, according to these sources.

The story corroborating our earlier story from the UK Mirror appears below from the International Business Times, also a UK Publication.

International Business Times

By Timur Moon

The FBI is hunting a 12-man terrorist "sleeper cell" linked to the brothers suspected of carrying out the Boston bombings.

The Bureau believes that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received training in bomb-making before they carried out the attack, which killed three people.

Tamerlan, 26, was killed in a shoot-out with police in the early hours of Friday. His brother Dzhokhar is in intensive care at a Boston hospital, and remains unable to speak due to gunshot wounds to the neck.

It emerged that a man and two women were arrested 60 miles from Boston in the port of New Bedford in the hours before Dzhokhar's capture. The three are believed to be of college age.

A source close to the investigation said: "We have no doubt the brothers were not acting alone. The devices used to detonate the two bombs were highly sophisticated and not the kind of thing people learn from Google.

"They were too advanced. Someone gave the brothers the skills and it is now our job to find out just who they were. Agents think the sleeper cell has up to a dozen members and has been waiting several years for their day to come."

More than 1,000 FBI agents have been assigned to track down the cell. A specialist team of CIA and FBI interrogators is on hand at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Centre in Boston, waiting to question Dzhokhar.

The FBI has admitted interviewing Tamerlan two years ago, at the request of the Russian government, but said it wound up its inquiries after interviews with Tamerlan and other family members "did not find any terrorism activity, domestic or foreign".

The FBI now says the pair were part of a terrorist cell, though they were not under surveillance at the time of the bombings, US Government officials said.

The brothers were carrying six bombs, a handgun and a rifle at the time of the shoot-out in which Tamerlan was killed. Three devices - thought to be pipe bombs - were detonated.

Investigators are working to establish whether the brothers had help in making the bombs, which were contained in pressure cookers and packed with nails and ball bearings.

Their mother Zubeidat, speaking from her home in Russia, claimed the boys had been framed by the FBI, saying the bureau had been "controlling" Tamerlan for the past five years. Their father Anzor has also said he believed his sons had been "set up" by the FBI.

Tamerlan, a talented boxer, was said by neighbours to have become increasingly radical in his Islamic beliefs in recent years.

The FBI are retracing his movements during a six-month trip he made to the Russia Caucusus last year, including a visit to Chechnya, during which his extremism is said to have caused arguments with family members.

"It's a key thread for investigators," said Kevin Brock, a senior FBI counter-terrorism official.

Tamerlan's American wife Katherine Russell, 24, with whom he had a three-year-old daughter Zahara, is said to have converted to Islam when she married him, and taken to wearing the veil. She was taken in for questioning by FBI agents on Friday.

Tamerlan's Russian-language YouTube page contains numerous links to extremist Islamic sites, including one that features an hour-long speech by the radical cleric Feiz Mohammed, along with other videos labelled "Terrorists" and "Islam".

Dzhokhar, a scholarship student with ambitions to become a brain surgeon, was described by friends as more "mild-mannered" and "easy going" than his brother. Popular with fellow students, he was said to enjoy smoking marijuana, and was seen by friends "looking relaxed" at a college party two days after the bombings, shortly before police released photographs of the two suspects.

Dzhokhar is said to have run over his brother as he made his getaway in a stolen SUV while Tamerlan lay handcuffed on the ground with fatal gunshot wounds late on Thursday.

Investigators have confirmed they will invoke public safety powers to interrogate him without reading him his "Miranda" rights to remain silent and have a lawyer present.

Authorities hope he will not invoke his right to silence, and will talk to them about any other terrorist threats, and the location of possible further explosives.

Prosecutors are considering appropriate charges, with a federal charge of using a weapon of mass destruction to kill people carrying a possible death sentence, though there is no death penalty in the state of Massachusetts.

Three people died in the attacks on the marathon and another 176 were injured. A policeman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was shot dead during the subsequent manhunt.

Two New Bedford Men Re-Arrested After Feds Learn of 12-Strong Islamic Sleeper Cell

Conservative Refocus

Barry Secrest

Just as we suspected from the start.

The Boston Marathon bombers were exactly who and what we first thought they were.

First, they were terrorists, a word difficult to say for many in the media and in government.

Second, they didn't come from the Tea Party as most in the media were pining for.

Nor was it Right-Wing Extremists, violent Christian fundamentalists, or any of the things that the media, the Democrats, and the Obama Regime, peace be unto them, were bleeding tears for.

They were violent, extremist, Islamic immigrants from Chechnya and the media is now weeping pathetically.

Liberal, effeminate, white guys all over the US today are hunched over their computer screens with tissues and red blotchy faces dreaming of what might have been...bless their hearts.

But if you decide to conduct a search for Islamic terrorists killed in Boston, or Muslim bombers, firefight; or anything else with regard to Islamic fundamentalists and Boston, you will find little if nothing of this story.

Below is the real story from a favorite web "specialist site" on the internet and "why are we letting these people into our country," by the way?

Jihad Watch

Boston jihad bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev: "I'm very religious"

"Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: 'God said no alcohol.' A muslim, he says: 'There are no values anymore,' and worries that 'people can't control themselves.'"

"Everything We Know About Tamerlan Tsarnaev, Dead Bombing Suspect," by Timothy Burke at Deadspin, April 19:

Authorities are now confirming the two suspects sought in Monday's Boston Marathon bombing are two Russian-born Chechen brothers, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev. Tamerlan, the older brother, is dead. Here's what we know about him.

It's not much, and most of it's derived from a photo gallery. We know Tamerlan Tsarnaev was 26 and a competitive boxer for a club named Team Lowell, who won the Rocky Marciano Trophy for being New England Golden Gloves heavyweight champion in 2010. He did this while taking time off from school at Bunker Hill Community College, where he studied in hopes of being an engineer.

The Wild Card: Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi

The element in all of this that has "inquiring minds wanting to know" is how the Saudi National who was initially a suspect and is now a pending deportee (after Obama's meeting with the Saudi foreign Minister) and who also was visited by Michelle Obama while in the hospital after the attack, might fit into all of this. Was there a connection between this Saudi National and the two Islamic terrorist bombers?

We do know, despite concerted Regime efforts to the otherwise, that DHS had this Saudi National flagged as a security risk due to either terrorist ties and or terror activities. We also know that DHS chief Napolitano denied that virtually anything was amiss with this Saudi National. Hmmm....

Below are some of the things that we do know about the violent, jihad extremist, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, also from Jihad Watch:

Boston jihad bomber's YouTube page features videos by Sheikh Feiz Mohammed, who called on Muslims to kill enemies of Islam

The YouTube page is here. On the right of the upper row and the left of the second row are videos by Feiz Mohammed.

"Police seize Muslim 'kill enemies' videos," by Simon Kearney and Tracy Ong for The Australian, January 20, 2007:

FIREBRAND cleric Sheik Feiz Mohamed's defence of his comments on a DVD calling children to jihad has been undermined by revelations, the video also urges Muslims to kill the enemies of Islam and praises martyrs with a violent interpretation of jihad.

In the DVD, which runs for almost four hours, Sheik Feiz describes inmates of Guantanamo Bay as better Muslims than those in Australia, who would would not forsake their lifestyles for martyrdom.

"The brothers in Cuba are better than us," he said. "They are being examined through the best examination (a reference to God's judgment) and the like of them worldwide."

The sheik, who left Australia in 2005 to live in his father's homeland, Lebanon, exorts his followers to seek the honourable death of the believer, quoting from narrations about the prophet Mohammed.

"They fight in the cause, they kill others - the enemies who fight Islam and they themselves are killed as martyrs," he said. He gives the example of a mujaheddin who fought in Bosnia in the 1990s who spoke of nothing but jihad and was killed on the battlefield. "What a beautiful person to be associated with. Would you not like to be an associate of this person?"

The DVD was a recording of a series of passionate fire-and-brimstone sermons that told his audience over several weeks nearly four years ago his thoughts on the way to live their lives. "This is our intention that we want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam, loving Islam," he said.

Details of the DVD's contents have sparked an Australian Federal Police investigation and have been met with condemnation.

AFP officers visited the Muslim youth centre founded by Sheik Feiz yesterday to collect a copy of his DVD, which was handed over voluntarily by members of the 4000-strong youth movement.

The two federal agents who arrived at the Global Islamic Youth Centre at Liverpool, in Sydney's west, declined to comment on the investigation.

About 200 worshippers were at midday prayers yesterday because Friday is Islam's holiest day of the week.

The centre's managers referred The Weekend Australian's inquiries to a phone number, which rang out.

One of Sheik Feiz's former students, Zeky Mallah, who was acquitted of terrorism charges, said the sermon was normal. "That's something that's normal with any Islamic scholar. It's just a way of speaking about things," he said.

Sheik Feiz told The Australian on Thursday that his reference to jihad did not mean violence. He said he was against suicide bombing and violence against others.

However, the DVD is littered with references to violence and a call to arms - most of which is made using examples of historical warriors as an admonishment to modern Muslims for straying from their path.

"If you're a hardliner, you'll say these in lectures; if you're a moderate, you'll keep these views to yourself," Mr Mallah said. "It's not really inciting violence. It is saying to stand up for yourself, to defend yourself and defend your land."

Muslim internet forums were buzzing with criticism of the media for running the story yesterday, accusing news outlets of misinterpreting the meaning of jihad, which can also mean a peaceful quest to be a good Muslim....

Conservative Refocus Notes

Barry Secrest

So, are we living in interesting times yet, as the old Chinese insult goes?

It has been a fascinating couple of weeks in the news, so much so that we decided to review just a few of the stories that I originally wrote in the very popular news section of this website, and also, while we finish up the latest article/project for the main commentary section of Conservative Refocus.

But hang on to your seats; a few of these stories are some real doozies, others might be the thing of nightmares, quite frankly, which leads us to this first article in our selection:

The Litmus Test and Civil War in America: Who Will Shoot Americans?

Note: To hear a radio show conversation between Dr. Jim Garrow and I, on this subject, please visit the above link where we both appeared on the Joe Goldner Show (in the last half hour of the show)

Nobel prize nominee and author, Dr. Jim Garrow is featured in this piece which talks about the astonishing examples of un-constitutional overreach, which is going on in the America of today.

In the clip, none other than highly respected journalist Lou Dobbs, of CNN fame, kicks off with his questions regarding the DHS and what they've been up to. From there, the narrative goes deeper and deeper into the troubling aspect of increasing governmental control that is slowly but inexorably squeezing Americans in its grip.

Dr. Garrow is highly troubled about DHS ammunition purchases, FEMA Camps, MRAP purchases, civilian security forces, and all of the other things which the mainstream media has chosen to serially ignore in support of the Obama Regime and its beyond nefarious goals for the US, as a whole.

Is all of this real? We would prefer to think that it's not, and yet, as humans, we more often than not see only that which we wish to see, which is what those in power have historically counted upon.

The pieces are, indeed, slowly coming together, and the more or less ghastly puzzle is coming into focus, and it is not a pleasant one, but outcomes can be easily altered while remembering the fact that nothing is written in stone. Well, except for unbridled liberal-Marxist stupidity, which leads us to this next article:

Resistance is Futile Says Liberal MSNBC Propagandist: Your Children Belong to the Collective (YouTube)

Increasingly, Americans have probably begun to believe that they are living inside of some sort of bizarre Star Tek episode where the Borg appear to be one of us, but certainly are not, in both words and practice, as evidenced in the below clip.

But, be that as it may, the commune-hive needs a constant supply of fresh new workers, and guess what? Your child is on their borg-like, Liberal agenda.

The Liberals are of the collective, and they want your kids to be their new drones, says this MSNBC apparatchik, Melissa Harris Hyphen Perry. You don't own your kids, they belong to the Collective, she says, and she probably believes it, to boot.

She says we haven't paid enough for education, when in fact, we pay more than any other country in the world. We haven't had enough of a collective approach to the children in maintaining that children are ours, when in fact, they belong to their communities.

Um, no they do not.

The ridiculousness of this entire clip is so beyond the pale of logic and critical thinking that it largely defies any sort of rational refutation. In fact, when we look at a number of inner-city projects, which have heavily utilized the Liberal approach to the "it takes a village" mentality, we see poverty, gangs, drugs and rampant crime to the point of debauchery.

So, no thanks Melissa Hyphen Perry.  You give your kids to the village, I'll keep and instruct mine, and lets compare notes in ten years.

Who would give their kids to the collective? It takes an idiot, which brings us to the next story, which you might want to pay very close attention to:

US Public Health Service Conducting Information Searches in Your Neighborhood? "Just Say No" Say Experts

The Department of Health and Human Services is issuing letters to "select" members of communities in order to invade your home, interview you, and reach a conclusion about your lifestyle, which easily could result in your life being taken over.

At the bottom of the letter pictured, you will see that the interviews are being conducted in conjunction with section 505 of the Public Health Service Act. However, when you go to this particular document , you find language speaking largely to mental health and drug issues.

While the document guarantes confidentiality, it does not indicate that action cannot be taken by the Federal Government against those who may be deemed worthy of "help."

Some individuals indicate that the interviews could result in extraordinarily negative consequences.

This is why many activists have warned against allowing interviews to be conducted. In the letter, repayment enticements of $30 dollars are being offered in an effort to allow the interviewer in.

Don't do it, it's none of their business, and you could pay a hefty price, say experts.

"Just say no."  You are perfectly within your constitutional rights against search and seizure as a US citizen, and shut the door.

Quite simple, in fact, especially when you take note of this next story:

DHS Denies Ridiculous 1.6 Billion Ammunition Purchase Stories: It's Actually Only 1.2 Billion Rounds

In an article at US News by Elizabeth Flock, the stories that have been bouncing around the Right-Wing blogosphere for months, about the DHS purchases of Masssive amounts of ammunition totalling 1. 6 billion, are completely wrong.

The actual number is closer to 1.2 billion rounds and the keywords are "up to."

Oh, well, shoot, now that's just different?

Indeed, when you read the article's impetus, we find that DHS admits that massive rounds purchases are made in order to save money, and these purchases ostensibly last for over 5 years. In fact, these massive five year purchases are made every year, right? So, what's the big hairy deal?

Right.

So, is 1.2 billion a relatively small amount as opposed to the 1.6 billion, making everything just peachy keen, or should we still be asking questions like, "why such large ammo purchases to save money when we essentially have no money unless it's borrowed?"

Or maybe even we should ask, "why are local and state law enforcement individuals and civilians getting pissed because of the lack of available ammunition?"

Government Hogs

Do most governments buy enough goods to last for five years when, in fact, they are virtually broke? Despite the smarmy tone of the below US News article, any true journalist would not so easily be convinced if even a flotsam of critical thinking skills are engaged.

Back to square one on this huge question, which is where we were yesterday, except no one has explained the massive MRAP purchase of 2,717 vehicles, at least not yet. Maybe they will blame global warming and state the need for a swarthy vehicle capable of withstanding high-water, high occupancy, vehicle lanes leading into the inner-beltway.

Oh, by the way, "it wasn't 2,717, silly, it was 2,200"--well then that's different, will be the expected response, to be sure. But if you would like to see "silly" defined, read this next article, which had a number of Conservative websites buzzing over our occasional ability to see things from afar:

Satire Now Reality in Sequester Cuts Chaos: NASA Chief Blames Sequester if Asteroid Hits

"The bottom line, as always, the funding did not come."~NASA Administrator James Bolden, who blames a lack of funding on NASA being increasingly unable to find and halt meteor and asteroid strikes.

We were just kidding, folks...or were we?

In a very popular article published several weeks ago, titled:

« The Mothman Presidency: Top Ten Most Disastrous Effects of Obama's Lurking Sequester Apocalypse

We poked fun at Obama's sequestration chaos by engineering some very outrageous scenarios, which might, inconceivably, be traced to the sequester cuts. In one particular scenario we blamed and fully explained how the sequestration chaos might engender future asteroid and meteor strikes on Earth, as follows:

#6- Sequester Cuts Responsible for Meteor Nearly Taking out Earth

So, many might be asking how in the world, could the sequester cuts have caused a meteor to veer into earth's atmosphere nearly taking out a section of the entire planet? To be certain, many scientists and meteorologists, who believe that climate change is not at all man-made, might have a serious problem with this theory. However, there are those other types prayerfully congregating in the low-information threshold, who might eagerly grasp onto the belief the global warming and meteor strikes belong in a related missing link type of category.

The idea of random natural earth phenomena being connected to global warming was first put forth by cerebrally noted celebrity and Hollywood actor, Danny Glover, a man who has shown a singular brilliance in slowly constructing random sentences while simultaneously voicing them.

In his initial hypothesis, it was Glover who first made the scientifically fantastic notion by stating the following after the cataclysmic Haitian earthquake:

“When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?”

Indeed, a wordsmith to be sure. Duly noted, now, that the initial link has been established by a voting member of the Hollywood erudite class rendering it beyond reproach, but where do the meteor strikes and sequester cuts come in? Enter the media elite and one of its better known trophy-blonde, dataticians, CNN news reader Deborah Feyerick, who first postulated to Bill Nye that an asteroid nearly entering Earth orbit has a climate change connection, as initially communicated to science guy Bill Nye:

Something else is falling from the sky, and that is an asteroid...uh..what..what is coming our way? Is this an effect of, perhaps, global warming

Mr. Guy, Bill Nye, was quick to respond that "the words Meteor and meterology come from the same root" and voila'! The eagle has landed and with an answer to our puzzling question. The fact that the Latin word "meteoros" as a root, which means "something in the air," could not dissuade either the science guy nor the dizzy info babe from surmisingly postulating that their next flight out of town could also be aboard a Latin described meteoros, nor did Nye correct Feyerick's alert dis-assertion.

So, now that the connection between meteors and global warming has been made, the question must next be asked: How might that work? Once again, quite simple to explain in using modern-day climate change scientist parlance, which can explain pretty much anything. You see, the earth's atmosphere has supposedly been altered to such a degree by man's constantly pumping carbon dioxide into the air that the atmosphere has become statically loaded with humongous amounts of both moisture and energy.

These two forces then combine, in effect, to alter the earth's orbit through the solar system by way of atmospheric drag, operating much like a solar sail in reverse. It's, in effect, much the same way as placing a roof-flap on a Nascar racer, to ostensibly keep the car from becoming airborne and smashing into fans, albeit, if it's installed correctly by the GM workers union members.

But how does that apply to the meteor? Simple, the atmospheric drag has altered the earth's orbit to such a degree that the earth has now swerved into an asteroid field, which is how all of this can easily be traced to the sequester cuts; by way of the closure of numerous regulatory enforcement agencies which operate to keep as many carbon dioxide producing entities and companies in a constant state of couch potato flux.

These agencies' newly sequestered inability to curb industry and keep the unemployed dozing in front of their TV's, rather easily explains the Earth's veerage into an asteroid field, by virtue of increased carbon dioxide output. The meteor didn't come to us, we came to it.

And God ain't Han Solo......

Indeed he ain't, and the article actually endeavors to twist the stranger-than-truth scenario into sequesterial badness as written by Reuters in Cape Canaveral, Florida, edited by Sarah Titterton and published at the UK Telegraph.

You just can't make this stuff up.....and here's the story headline:

Nasa's advice on asteroid hitting Earth: pray

But from that bit of science fiction, we travel all the way over to religious fantasy with this story, which seeks to slay the institution of marriage and replace it with  "the sky's the limit" or "slippery chasm" or something like that.  At this point, it's all so confusing....now, where are my aspirin?

Wagging The Dog: When Only 9 Million Gay Americans Can Change A Sanctified Institution

In a nutshell, it appears as if the Supreme Court will be leaving gay marriage up to the states, which is ostensibly where it belongs. This also probably means that gay marriage will eventually be state-sanctified by state officials in California, despite Proposition 8.

But the interesting thing, at least to me, is how a population of only 9 million Americans can effect societal change which can affect the perceptions and overall practices of over 320 million people, many of which who disagree.

Now, ladies and gentleman, does this not personify the power of how only a relative few well-directed voices can essentially control the entire argument? We Conservatives should be taking notes.

The disagreement from traditional Americans makes sense. Marriage, in prior times, was an institution both installed and hallowed by religion and society while primarily being intended as a holy union recognized by God. Somehow, despite what most religions teach, marriage is now being twisted around to include same-sex unions not originally intended.

What has always miffed me is the question of why Gays want a heterosexual institution to be applied to their unions as well. Marriage, by every definition, has always been between a man and a woman. Same-sex unions, biologically speaking, are simply not the same type of union as a heterosexual union. Period. But, Gays want to rewrite the rules and pretend that eveything will now be the same, despite every detail to the contrary and even anatomical plumbing that belies the reconfiguring.

These unions, have not been traditionally recognized by any root-belief religious system nor does any religious canon offer sanctification, no matter which religion one should choose. Gays can gain civil partnerships until doomsday, however, the actual institution of Gay marriage will probably never gain traction as being considered ordinary among the general population, despite the fact that this is really the thing that Gays seem to mostly want.

The real question is what will our children think?

To the Gays, my take is simply do what you want, but don't ask me or soicietyto sanctify it as equal, and hallowed, because it simply isn't, nor will it ever be, but I will always pretend that I can't tell the difference...despite my inward thoughts to the contrary, and isn't that ultimately what Gays want, anyway? Next up is a story about what our "first gay president" actually wants--Hey! I didn't coin that phrase, it actually came from NewsWeak, so....moving on:

Charles Krauthammer Stuns Fox  Panel: Obama Loses Gun Control Issue but Still Wants the Cash (YouTube)

“All he wants now is the money,” Krauthammer stated as the panel sat there in stunned silence.

“You don’t really mean that,” Chris Wallace slowly responds

“He’s lost on gun control" Krauthammer insists.

However, what Krauthammer and pretty much everyone else should remember, is that the gun control debate could and currently is going in much the same way as Obamacare went back in 2009.

The battle was initially lost by the Obama Regime, only to be resurrected by way of some incident that occurs somewhere, ostensibly a healthcare premium increase by a California insurance company in that case, and the the unholy thing was eventually smashed through Congress on the second attempt.

The US civil society cannot relax on gun control, ever, ladies and gentlemen. Nor can Obama, especially when it comes to to trying to complete both sentences and baser thought patterns outside of the presence of the ubiquitous teleprompter:

Big Trouble in Obamaville? Obama's Attorney General Fetish Starts Trouble with First Lady

Big trouble in Obamaville?

 

After Obama referred to California Attorney General Kamala Harris as, " By far, the Best looking Attorney General," First Lady Michelle Obama fired back in the following video by referring to herself as "a single mother":

She then corrected herself, but many at this point might be wondering about those rumored divorce proceedings that never quite made it through the system, back before Obama's run as Presidential Messiah.

So, is anything up between these two?

Who cares? But the overall story speaks volumes as to the possible signs of battle between America's first Totalitarian power couple.  Speaking of "Signs"--check out this gem of a video which should make your next dream period, shall we say,...."interesting?"

Creepy Obama Youtube Video Has US Teens Talking: Security Agent Undergoes Odd Visual Transformation

 

My teen daughter practically begged me to view the video, after telling me that all her friends were "creeped out" about it; so, I dutifully brought it up on the big screen and everyone watched.

It was quite strange, and it does fall under some of the more arcane issues I have personally studied over the past several years.

The agent's face does seem odd, even at first, but then it gets very odd, and with a video that does not appear to be retouched. The conversation then turned to a number of issues that dealt in a number of subjects, which she had numerous questions about, and in which I proffered a discourse of answers, some dealing in some of the more popular theories in evidence to this phenomenon.

Hey, when it comes to this Regime, we'll take it, especially if the younglings get as creeped out as most Conservatives have over the past 5 years.

Whatever it takes, and if you enjoyed this article you can find an Expanded article on this story in The Examiner. So, that's at least a represenatative cross-section of some of the crazy things going on and just in the past couple of weeks.

Global Warming Update: Prehistoric Brontosaurus No Longer Extinct Because It Never Existed

Conservative Refocus

By Barry Secrest

You won't read about it very much in the media.

The Democrats are as quiet as church mice about it, financial gurus are looking on expectantly but with few if any historical research tools which will allow them to accurately proselytize on the eventual outcome. The Republicans, meanwhile, are so busy trying not to be Republicans that most of the more ground-shaking aspects of the thing have been completely buried in the shallow sands of the inner-beltway.

However, the gravity of the thing has already been immeasurably felt, the tides of fate altered, and the more sensitive US natives are uneasily stirring into some sort of reactive defense posture.

So what is it that's heading straight for America's well-being like some freakishly huge asteroid aimed squarely at 1/6th of the entire US economy? Ladies and Gentlemen, it's Obamacare, and it is even now swerving  into final economic orbit before its impossibly deep impact.

Stigmata

The mainstream media, after battling mightily for state run healthcare when it was squeakily rolled out by the Obama Regime, has already begun loosening a shy trickle of stories and hesitant articles speaking of the nightmare to come, as if the dire symptoms had just been discovered, the stigmata-like etchings now only vaguely becoming resolved into focus.

Below are the few titles regarding the "Un-Affordable" Healthcare Act  we have seen oozing out of America's Fourth Estate, thus far:

Obamacare Claims Costs to Rise as Much as 62% in Some Areas

Stunner!

The Hill: Wyden: Healthcare Law's 'Family Glitch' Leaves Dependents Without Coverage

Really? But....the act was stitched together by a Haiwaiian genius, right?

Reuters: Little Hope Seen For Millions Priced Out Of Health Overhaul

Now how ironic is that for a law titled "Affordable Health Care Act" designed primarily to save everyone $2,500 per year?

And yet, the signs were always there, having been predicted well before the ideas became clear enough. The prophetic warnings, from this website alone and from years back, could stretch into volumes of Pandemic soothsaying. So, while our increasingly pathetic party apparatchiks, on the Republican side, continue to petulantly gaze at their navels like post-pubescent teens having an acne mitigation slumber-fest, the Republicans should be sounding the bells of "Repeal or else" and more loudly than ever.

We instead get responses like this from the Republican Moderated elites:

Boehner: House Will Fund Obamacare in CR; Won't Risk 'Shutting Down the Government'

Or even this, which we will visit in earnest, in this article:

Republicans Study (Republican Sponsored) Autopsy Report

While the impact of Obamacare promises to be earth-shaking once this statist Leviathan wobbles to its feet, what we can already see, so far, easily falls under the gloomiest category of predictions at best. The one thing that the Republicans need to be talking about now, before even the second Leviathan rises up out of the sea, that being our deficit, is the fact that the monster that is Obamacare belongs fully and completely to one man and one increasingly pitiful party.

The Liberal Democrats.....

The Republican legislators, in this age of low-information voters, needs to swing into immediate action, by continually coming out on front of the cameras, and anything that has news service wire access, and repeatedly warn America of what it's in for very soon. In fact, not one Republican voted for the act, period, and the warnings were repeatedly screeched from the political right from the outset.

According to the Washing Post, Obamacare was passed when: "39 Democrats broke with their party and voted "no."  One Republican initially voted yes but then voted "No" on the final November 7 vote."

But, despite a looming victory in the court of public opinion, unfortunately, it seems that the Republicans have other things on their minds, of late. Instead of pressing home the battle of why America should listen to the Conservative Party, both now and repeatedly in the future, especially after this debacle is fully realized, the Republicans are busy with other things of similar import.

Yes, indeed, believe it or not, the Republicans are on a soul-searching mission to find out who they are.....and no, I'm not kidding.

Mewling Djangos

So, can someone please tell me how is it that an entire wing of a political party can actually lose its way to such a degree that this same party actually begins petulantly mewling to everyone around it "please tell us what's wrong with us?"

Lincoln's Republican party of limited government, individual liberty and self-determination, has now become the party of we're-not-really-sure... but...vote for us anyway, we'll do great things, that is, once we figure out who we are." Would you even hire such people as workers, much less make them your fearless leaders?

Truth be told, there is another rather pejorative word for this type of mindset, and it's directly related to a small, furry, domesticated mammal found in the phylum of Felidae and described, when found in groups, as a glaring or clowder. Once you discern the answer  to that simple riddle, then you'll know whose running the Republican Party for 2013, which, therefore,  makes the Republicans the prevailing caricature, now days, of virtually everything that is wrong with America.

But isn't it certainly America's ongoing spate of outrageous luck that the Party of something while loosely holding the Marx inspired Democrat-Socialists at bay is simultaneously suffering  a crisis of identity? Especially when, what can only be described as a target rich environment of failure increasingly surrounds the Democrat party like a fog of endlessly fetid flatulence.

Tsk, tsk....

It's not just that the question of the Republican's raison de etre  is being asked, for heaven's sake,  but that the Republican leadership is even paying other Moderates in the party to come up with the party solution. Whoa! Predictable outcome, that.

Meanwhile,  the other more erstwhile wing of the party looks on in bemused astonishment, already knowing the answer to the question, as having stated it soooo... many times before.

It was the study sponsored by the RNC , as instigated and later intensified our rather wayward GOP to begin soul-searching itself on why the party seems to be constantly losing the fight against an opposing party best described as a mad-dog grouping of authoritarian Collectivists, aka the Democrat Party of today.

The nexus of the report, according to the LA Times version, sounded much like an MSNBC talking point, a la this pointed study diatribe:

A great many Americans perceive Republicans as a bunch of narrow-minded, out-of-touch, homophobic, stuffy old white men who are interested only in the welfare of rich people. “Young voters are increasingly rolling their eyes at what the party represents, and many minorities wrongly think that Republicans do not like them or want them in the country,” the report says.

Really?

But then, here was an article which appeared in the Politico only a day after the November 2012 election:

Election aftermath: GOP soul-searching: 'Too old, too white, too male'?

So, to combat the party of the extreme Left that a large number of Americans seem to hate even worse than the Republican Party, the GOP leadership, in effect, ostensibly says we need to be more like the Democrat Party in order to beat them at being Democrats. Idea: why not just move over to the Democrat party and become one with the Borg, GOP leadership? I mean "Look,"  when you start searching around to find a new set of principles which will seemingly be more appealing to voters, then isn't it true that you then have no operative sense of defining principles, in the first place?

But, for argument's sake, let's say the Republican leadership embraces the opinion of their study commission, and begins competing with the Liberals for more Liberal voters. What happens to the Conservative base which makes up the Republican Party?

Buh-Bye

So, are the pinheads at the center of the GOP so in awe of the President that they have started their own honorary "Choom-gang" for Heaven's sake? Nothing would surprise any of us at this point.

And all of this, quite frankly, should workout just spectacularly, at least for El Magnifico, anyway. But the question that most Conservative Americans are increasingly asking, these days, is simply whose side are these guys in the GOP leadership, on anyway?  Well, now we have our sort of misguided answer merely by the fact that they don't even know which side they're on, themselves.

The Democrats, resultantly and as could be expected since they were the ones who began asking this question in the first place, have been laughing hysterically at the GOP ever since and for damned good reason.  I mean how, for Heaven's sake , could anyone not laugh?

What about "Here's Who We Are Not"

Instead of a concerted Republican effort on finding ways to sort of identify with and compete for the extraordinarily low-information threshold of the Liberal Democrat consortium, the GOP should be focusing on the Libertarian portion of the Conservative American electorate. In effect, the Republicans need to be explaining who we are not rather than who we are, especially with the impending derailment which is swiftly headed towards the Democrat party due to error after error. Think of it as a sort of intellectual  facelift for the atypical American voter.

In fact, here are just a few out of many possible examples of who both Conservatives  and Libertarians are certainly not, as contrasted by who the Democrats and Liberals of today and who they obviously are:

Federal Agents Takeover: Obama Signs Executive Order Seeking to Nationalize Elections »

First, Conservatives do not believe in centralization of election power. Republicans should make it clear that elections belong to the states, period. Anything else is an exercise of absolute power and the abuse of same which is a thing Republicans  historically despise.

The political Right does not believe in centralized power-elections.

Obama to Unconstitutionally Override States' Obamacare Nullification Efforts »

Here and once again, federal power should not seek to gather power by meddling with states which resent such micro-managing power-grabbing. If states choose not to avail themselves of Obamacare, then they should be left to their own devices. Populations will either punish or reward the states in turn with regard to their decision. A truly limited government would never seek a crippling one-size-fits-all solution, nor would anyone truly within the right-wing of American politics.

The political Right does not believe in centralized Totalitarian healthcare schemes.

Climatologists Comically Try to Explain 20 Year "Global Warming Pause" »

Using manufactured, environmentalized Marxism to achieve a tax end, to include a Draconian regulatory outcome based upon mischaracterized natural climactic cycles, is not something the Republican Party believes in. The scientific data is simply not present, as indicated by the above headline. If there has been no global warming over past twenty years, ladies and gentlemen, then where and why did all the climate histrionics begin in the first place? A rhetorical question, to be sure.

The political Right does not believe in outcome based environmental marxism

The Litmus Test and Civil War in America: Who Will Shoot Americans? (Youtube) »

Would the party of the US Constitution seek to ostracize military leadership on the basis of whether or not the Constitution should be strictly followed? The Republican Party should make it very clear that we believe in the US Constitution and will support it to the death, as do our soldiers. However the reports coming out from our military members speak to something far more insidious emanating from the current regime in power, as in asking top military leaders if they would fire on Americans. Not true, you say? Think again.....

The political Right does not believe in absolute government power

The Monsanto Protection Act Signed By Obama and Congress: Five Reasons to Be Terrified »

The true Republican party should have never signed off on this ridiculously unconstitutional law, and yet this measure was voted into effect by the House and the Senate. In fact, the above corporate protectionist act was authored by non other than a Liberal Democrat and co-authored by a very non-conservative Republican. Anti-constitutional protectionism is not what we, as Republicans, should ever allow.

The political Right does not believe in anti-Constitutional corporate protectionism nor cronyism.

Police State: Ex-Special Forces Commander Says President "Creating a Constabulatory Force" »

A federal military force used against civilians on American soil? This clearly abrogates a Federal law called the possee comitatus act which was written and passed just after the civil war. Yet there have been  a large number of stories, in very recent years, which speaks to an elite civilian force as proposed by Obama and operated by FEMA under the Department of Homeland Security, which ostensibly seeks to circumvent this powerful act which even Bush tried to circumvent.

The political Right does not believe in a powerful military being used against US civilians.

The Economic Collapse: Gold Losing Value As US Printing Of Money Creates Bubbles within Bubbles

The Republicans have always been known as the fiscally Conservative party, and this hasn't changed, or has it? More and more, the GOP of today has sought a stance of being less rigidly opposed to Obama's tax and spend chicanery, this despite the US Congress' historical function of being the chamber that holds the purse-strings of the US government and despite a debt which has become almost impossible to overcome by any traditional means. Although the US people have opted to keep a Congress of opposition in place and against Obama's penchant for spending,  Boehner's congress seems almost apologetic when opposing the President, despite the fact that both were re-elected back into power. Does the people's vote, by fiat, only figure in one particular branch of the government? We, as Conservatives, certainly do not think so.

The political Right does not believe in Progressive Keynesianism and massive deficit spending.

Wagging The Dog: When Only 9 Million Gay Americans Can Change A Sanctified Institution »

So, who knew that a like-minded grouping of people the size of Rush Limbaugh's audience could change the course of a nation's collective morays? Rush fans, take notes on this post, because this is what we've been seeing from the powerful gay coalition. It's not that Republicans hate or even dislike Gays, to Conservatives it's a lifestyle choice for some and apparently a coitus imperative for others, and opinions runs the gamut from there. But how does this concern American government as a whole. It shouldn't and it's just that simple. This is what the Republicans should stand for.

The political Right does not believe in a governmental role pertaining to marriage.

By the way, each of these examples were major news items published only in the last 10 days, as of this writing.

The Republicans, with a special nod to Conservatism, should never be parlaying votes by way of pandering to certain groups according to skin color, which is what is being sold to the party as a whole, by the very moderate branch of the party. this ultimately results in a form of racism,  while completely disallowing the rights of an individual as opposed to the group.

Leviathan II

But what about that other Leviathan, aside from Obamacare, as created by the Democrat party?

The massive US deficit is already being dealt with by one supposed ally and several other major economic players and trading partners. In fact, the story appeared mostly overseas and in few if any US media outlets, other than Catholic online. But it is a story which started back in 2010 with the Chinese and Russians removing the US dollar as an exchange currency between the two nations.  This time, it was just announced that the nations of China and Australia have also removed the US dollar as an exchange currency between the two nations.

One way that the US is able to cover its massive printing of money, is by the fact that the US dollar is the official world reserve currency. As the dollar looses trading partners, it also gradually looses demand and thereby some portion of its value. So, what happens when more and more nations decide to drop the inflationary dollar as the world's reserve currency?

Maybe that's where the much talked about US economic collapse begins, and if that is indeed so, then it can also be said to be slowly beginning right about now. Unfortunately, if the collapse did come to pass, then the Republicans could make an all powerful case as to Democratic ownership of a US collapse, in addition to a healthcare collapse.

The only problem is, at that particular point, will it really matter?
