What Did You Expect? From a Luo. . .

In Dreams From My Father Obamabow accuses the British of torturing his Grandad although Obama's grandpappy was a Luo, a tribe which is sworn enemies with the Kikuyu, Meru, and Embu tribes, members of which were involved in the Mau Mau uprising. Interestingly the Luo do not regard themselves as a sub Saharan African tribe but as Arabs, despite clearly being genetically a branch of the African race. In bowing to a Saudi, Obamabow may just be recognizing his roots.

Congressman Introduces Enumerated Powers Act

Well-intentioned but Constitutionally flawed is the standard operating procedure in Washington these days but a new bill seeks to address this flaw. The Enumerated Powers Act seeks to find a constitutionally mandated reason for every bill that Congress passes.

ASU States: No Degree for Obamabow

Arizona State University decided not to award Obamabow an honorary degree when he addresses graduates next month. The university says that Obama's achievements have yet to rate the honor, and is directing reporters to use a statement given to the Associated Press. "His body of work is yet to come. That's why we're not recognizing him with a degree at the beginning of his presidency," stated Media Relations Director Sharon Keller.

Seven Year Old in Nashville Mosque Describes Husband, Beatings

Audio from the Al-Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN is from a first-hand undercover investigation. The audio features a seven year old who describes her husband and how they are beaten during shariah class. The undercover person inside needed to hide the camera. The girl states how kids are beaten as she begins to cry.

"The teachers, they hit the children," is stated.

The seven year old refers to her "husband."

Dave Gaubatz, currently the Director of the Mapping Sharia Project and the Owner of DG Counter-terrorism Publishing (dgaubatz.blogspot.com), originally describes the activities at the mosque.

Curious Timing for Cybercrimes to Surface

No one can deny that the government has dropped the ball on cyber-warfare. Many Internet experts have pointed out for years that security has been a chronic government issue. Now, however, the timing is really odd in that the Federal government is highlighting cyber-issues and how insecure we are. It is not just a coincidence that these stories are surfacing currently since bills have been introduced to shut down the Internet. This is naked ploy to control and censor the one free medium that ordinary people have access to: the Internet. Companies have moved to secure their networks and they have a profit motive to keep them active and involved. Individuals have constitutional rights that require protection. If anyone is at fault in the cyber-warfare sphere, it is the laxity of the Federal government and the failure to implement sound standards to protect the U.S. Nonetheless, the government is infringing of constitutional rights with this misguided and unnecessary legislation.

Arab Muslim Praise for Obamabow

I agree with the Saudi columnist in at least one respect when he states: "law is not always the absolute with regards to the American presidency." We are not recognized in the world for our adherence to the rule of law. In this endeavor, Obamabow has accomplished his Muslim agenda well.

The myopic columnist hailed King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz for his call to inter-religious dialogue. He is hardly the first to ask for religious discussion nor would many expect the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques to compromise much of anything in concert with other world religious leaders.

Americans On Their Own

The American naval vessel that was attacked and fought back seems indicative of the direction that Americans are increasingly in. We are on our own, both as individuals and to conduct business. The U.S. government is either unwilling or unable to protect us.

The Saudi Arabian Minister of Finance Dr. Ibrahim Al-Assaf said the Kingdom does not intend to participate in stimulating world economy program by supporting the International Monetary Fund financially. In addition, the Governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency Muhammad Al-Jasser told “alwatan newspaper” that the kingdom would “keep the money under our eyes we will put them only in place to serve the country." Countries such as Saudi Arabia are only doing things that are in their interest or what will assist their own country. It is only the Obamabow's who are harming their own nation for the sake of others.

Obamabow Praises Islam

"We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country."

Obamabow noted he has "lived in a Muslim-majority country. I know, because I am one of them."

The Islamic agenda continues as Obamabow was in Turkey for his submission speech there. He stated that Islam has done so much for the better in his country.

I have only one question.

Which country is his?

Was he speaking of Kenya or Indonesia?

Priorities

$900 million for the Palestinian Authority: 50,000 dollars in emergency aid to Italy after a powerful earthquake that killed at least 100 people. I take it this is the priority. Muslims first, and then we will support disaster victims much less.

Obama To Control the Internet

A pair of bills introduced in the U.S. Senate would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry, and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared "cyber emergency."

Senator John "Jay" Rockefeller, D-W.V., introduced Senate bills No. 773 and 778, are both part of what's being called the Cybersecurity Act of 2009, which would create a new Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, reportable directly to the president and charged with defending the country from cyber attack.

A working draft of the legislation obtained by an Internet privacy group also spells out plans to grant the Secretary of Commerce access to all privately owned information networks deemed to be critical to the nation's infrastructure "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule or policy restricting such access."

Privacy advocates and Internet experts have been quick to sound the alarm over the act's broadly drawn government powers.

"The cybersecurity threat is real," says Leslie Harris, president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, "but such a drastic federal intervention in private communications technology and networks could harm both security and privacy."

Larry Seltzer in eWeek, an Internet and print news source on technology issues, stated: "I definitely don't like the idea of politicizing this authority by putting it in the direct control of the president."

Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, who is co-sponsoring the bill, added, "If we fail to take swift action, we, regrettably, risk a cyber-Katrina."

Critics, however, have pointed to three actions Rockefeller and Snowe propose that may violate both privacy concerns and even constitutional bounds:

First, the White House, through the national cybersecurity advisor, shall have the authority to disconnect "critical infrastructure" networks from the Internet – including private citizens' banks and health records, if Rockefeller's examples are accurate – if they are found to be at risk of cyber attack. The working copy of the bill, however, does not define what constitutes a cybersecurity emergency, and apparently leaves the question to the discretion of the president.

Second, the bill establishes the Department of Commerce as "the clearinghouse of cybersecurity threat and vulnerability information," including the monitoring of private information networks deemed a part of the "critical infrastructure."

Third, the legislation proposes implementation of a professional licensing program for certifying who can serve as a cybersecurity professional.

And while the critics concede the need for increased security, they object to what is perceived as a dangerous and intrusive expansion of government power.

"It's an incredibly broad authority," CDT senior counsel Greg Nojeim told the Mother Jones news website, troubled that existing privacy laws "could fall to this authority."

Jennifer Granick, civil liberties director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told Mother Jones the bill is "contrary to what the Constitution promises us."

According to Granick, granting the Department of Commerce oversight of the "critical" networks, such as banking records, would grant the government access to potentially incriminating information obtained without cause or warrant, a violation of the Constitution's prohibition against unlawful search and seizure.

"What are the critical infrastructure networks? The examples provided are 'banking, utilities, air/rail/auto traffic control, telecommunications.' Let's think about this," writes Seltzer. "I'm especially curious as to how you take the telecommunications networks off of the Internet when they are, in large part, what the Internet is comprised of. And if my bank were taken offline, I would think about going into my branch and asking for all of my deposits in cash."

S. 778, which would establish the Office of the National Security Advisor, and S. 773, which provides for developing a cadre of governmental cybersecurity specialists and procedures, have both been read twice and referred to committee in the Senate.

FBI InfraGard Releases Statement: Constitutional Crisis, Civil Unrest

Lyle J. Rapacki, Ph.D., Consultant at Behavioral Analysis and Threat Assessment, Vice President of Protective Services, and FBI InfraGard–Arizona, released a statement that:

Should it be discovered Mr. Obama is ineligible, a constitutional crisis would ensue attempting to determine which of his executive branch orders should be valid. If, however, this case continues and Mr. Obama fights revealing his documentation, there are growing concerns of civil unrest, or worse, being unleashed in the streets of our nation. The economic crisis coupled with this type of a constitutional crisis could prove to be a “flashpoint” that would test conventional law enforcement and elements of homeland security.

If Obamabow is ineligible, a constitutional crisis could result in civil unrest.

Obamabows Policies Same as Muslim Turkey

"Now we have identical policies with the Obama administration," said Ahmet Davutoglu, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's chief foreign policy adviser, who called Obama's visit "historic."

"If you look at the agendas of the two countries, it is almost the same," he said. "Our experience in the region and their new approach are very compatible."

It is historic for America to advance a Middle Eastern Muslim agenda and in that I agree with Davutoglu.

Black, Obamabow, Senior Regulator Claims Cover Up, Fraud, and Lack of American Outrage to Blame

William K. Black, the former senior regulator who cracked down on banks during the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s, an Obamabow supporter, and now an Associate Professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri, explained to Bill Moyers why we are in such a financial fix. Black charges that Geithner is "covering up." There is massive fraud that Congress is not investigating, and the American people are not outraged.

Sharia and Obamabow's Speech in Turkey

“I'm not naive."

Obamabow just got spat upon by measly little North Korea while he argues that: “As a nuclear power – as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon – the United States has a moral responsibility to act.” The only deterrent is strength on the part of the U.S. We have no intention of using nuclear weapons and the rest of the world is not naive enough to disarm since we already have an overwhelming advantage in nuclear weapons. They have no incentive to disarm since because Obamabow wants them too. The effective leader would be developing an effective strategy against rogue states and non-state actors from testing, transporting, and deploying weapons. Obamabow is an effective agent for Russian and Chinese military aims.

Gingrich Has An Electromagnetic Point

I would like to be the first one to dismiss anything that the discredited Newt Gingrich had to say but he has a point. In his reaction to North Korea's missile and launch, and I would consider with Obamabow's tepid, let's-talk-about-it at the U.N. response, Gingrich stated: "I’d recommend, look at electromagnetic pulse, which changes every … equation about how risky these weapons are.” Electromagnetic pulse has its possibilities, since it has been noted as a threat to the U.S., it could well be a weapon of choice against a rogue state such as North Korea. Obamabow either is too tepid in his response or has not developed an effective counter-measure so far. He just wants to talk about it more.

Security Council Resolution 1718 was passed in 2006 to force North Korea to halt nuclear tests and ballistic missile launches, but sanctions have been suspended or loosely applied since North Korea joined disarmament talks.

Although Obamabow will push the issue of more sanctions against North Korea for this act of defiance, the last sanctions clearly did not work.

Theoretically the missile launched by North Korea, could reach Alaska or Hawaii and the import of the test is that the U.S. is not defending itself.

The little thug Kim Jong-Il has tested an effective missile and now we will see if the international leaders respond with more than just words or watered down resolutions guaranteed to be nothing more that attempts to make the public think something is being done.

Resolutions with no teeth do nothing as we have seen with previous resolutions against North Korea as well as the pathetic resolutions against Iran.

Capitulating is not an effective counter-measure.

Cicero Explains Treason to Americans

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Cicero

Obama fails to win Nato troops

A Tale of Two Bows

Obama humbling himself; he is almost down on bended knee before the Saudi King. The subservient Obama averts the eyes of the King as he looks at his feet. Fortunately, the King outlawed the kissing of his ring in 2005 or else Obama might have done that as well. Although Obama is clearly a much taller man he is obviously lowering his head below the King's head and eyes. Obama ensured that he was seen as inferior in the presence of the King. With this picture, Americans should grasp our precarious situation in the world and realize that with Obama representing us on the world stage we can expect nothing but maltreatment in the world.

During the heroic generation of the 1930s and 1940s, not that long ago, Americans would bow to no one. They were watched closely during the Olympic Games for any sign of obeisance.

"The American team was also watched closely for their etiquette as they marched passed the reviewing stand. Led by AOC head MacArthur, the Yankee squad continued the American custom of refusing to bow to or salute any foreign monarch." (Cf. Encyclopedia of the modern Olympic movement, John E. Findling, Kimberly D. Pelle).

At :53 Obama bows low before his King; then, at 2:25, the leader of the free world is relegated to the back 2nd row off to the right. The King, the Queen, and the Chinese are all seated in the middle, front row, in the power positions.

The full tape was inadvertently filmed by a Spanish station and has the advantage of being unscripted: it was not featured on American TV or commented about in any appreciable amount.

The "red herring" tape has been analyzed to death on CNN and on the talk shows. Did he bow or not to the Queen of England is the important question of the hour? It does not matter.

Obama bowed to his King who is the protector and defender of the holiest sites of Islam. Bear in mind that an early act of Obama was to support the 2002 Saudi Plan upon assuming office. Obama decides in deference to Saudi wishes.

In one generation Rosa Parks refused to sit at the back of the bus which was a great day for America and for Civil Rights. Americans were offended in 1994 when Bill Clinton came close to a bow when meeting the Emperor of Japan. Clinton did not quite bow, but he inclined his head and shoulders forward, and he pressed his hands together. It lasted no longer than a snapshot. Today, in three months with Obama all of America has been relegated to second-rank status as he visibly humbled himself well below protocol and it should

Obama (L), Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi (C) and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev (R) pictured in the 2nd row behind the Saudi and Chinese representatives and the British host.

be noted that other leading heads of state did not bow to the King at all. The appropriate protocol is to simply extend and then shake hands between men. Obama did not perform as an equal man; he demonstrated that he was the subject of the King.

Bob Basso, who posts videos under the name funbobbasso on YouTube, has created videos in which he portrays Thomas Paine, author of the "Common Sense" pamphlet that made the case for independence during the American Revolution.

A former award winning news director for NBC TV and visiting professor at UCLA, Basso has a PhD in communications.

Nonetheless, the Italian economy experienced no appreciable growth. The corporate state was never fully implemented and the expansionist and militaristic nature of fascism contributed to imperialist adventures in Ethiopia and the Balkans, and ultimately, World War Two.

History does not repeat itself but there are echoes; Obama asked Rick Wagoner, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, to step down and he agreed.

In the meantime, Obama has ordered 17,000 more troops to Afghanistan and Friday he ordered 4,000 more trainers. History has numerous echoes.
