On a "Mob," "fishy," and Republics

The White House has asked partisans to inform on the "fishy" comments of American citizens which is a divisive and ominous development in the American Republic. We should be wary when a head of state identifies individuals and groups of Americans who are earmarked as "acting stupidly" which demonizes and objectifies opponents of the regime. U.S. law


Text sidebar: according to 5 U.S.C. § 552a, otherwise known as the Privacy Act of 1974 states that United States agencies, including the Executive Office of the President shall: “maintain no record describing how any individual exercises rights guaranteed by the First Amendment unless expressly authorized by statute or by the individual about whom the record is maintained or unless pertinent to and within the scope of an authorized law enforcement activity.” The bill was passed as a response for the "need to protect individuals from illegal surveillance and investigation by federal agencies, a need demonstrated by the Watergate Scandal."




has enshrined the idea that records should not be collected on individuals. In Germany, prior to Hitler, a transformation began to take place where members of society were viewed as minderwertig or "worth-less" (Richard J. Evans, The Coming of the Third Reich, p. 38). As people are objectified as worthless they are considered dispensable. Tyrants and dictators fear opposition and consider some people as a "mob"




Video sidebar: Rep. Tim Bishop (D-N.Y.) told POLITICO, “There is no point in meeting with my constituents and [to] listen to them and have them listen to you if what is basically an unruly mob prevents you from having an intelligent conversation,” 22 June 2009, Setauket, N.Y.


and as a security risk to their grasping of power and overreach.


As early as 1921, although Hitler was not appointed Chancellor until 1933, the Nazis identified the Jews as "security risks and useless eaters (Evans, Coming, p. 346)." Paragraph 16 of the Constitution the Nazis intended to put into effect, had the Putsch of 1923 been successful, stated that the Jews would be placed into camps. The Nazis had a penchant for operating in a quasi-legal fashion, and in fact the decisions of the judiciary are important to understand as a force undermining, and not upholding the Weimar Republic (Evans, Coming, pp. 137-138).


As Evans rhetorically asks: "Where the law and its administration were against it (the Republic), what chance did it have? (Evans, Coming, p. 138)."


I would hope that America does not share the fate of Weimar Germany. We need to uphold the principles of the Founders on behalf of the American Republic and its ideals.


The mob is the gang in Washington unable to govern effectively and understand legitimate dissent.

"Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste:" Tyranny




"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."


"It is natural for men, who wish to hasten the adoption of a measure, to tell us, now is the crisis--now is the critical moment which must be seized, or all will be lost; and to shut the door against free inquiry, whenever conscious the thing presented has defects in it, which time and investigation will probably discover. This has been the custom of tyrants and their dependents in all ages. If it is true, what so often been said, that the people of this country cannot change their condition for the worse, I presume it still behooves them to endeavor deliberately to change it for the better. The fickle and ardent, in any community, are the proper tools for establishing despotic government. But it is deliberate and thinking men, who must establish and secure governments on free principles. Before they decide on the plan proposed, they will inquire whether it probably be a blessing or a curse to the people (pp. 259-260)."


Letters From the Federal Farmer, 8 October 1787


These thoughts are just as relevant as they were at their writing as Americans have considered the issues brought on by the financial crisis, bailouts, cap and tax, and health care rationing. The spark for radical transformation of America is claimed to be justified by the proclamation of a crisis, real or imagined. This has always been the realm of the tyrant in opposing a free Republic of people.

U.N. and Military Vehicles, Aircraft, Unusual Sightings All Over the U.S.



Foreign helicopters in joint mission with U.S. aircraft documented in Big Bear, CA.




According to the filmographer:


It shows a flatbed trailer ferrying a couple black SUV Suburbans with Defense logos on them (described as Fifth Army, HHC CSRD). The video was shot on I-35 between San Marcos and Austin, Texas. I did a tour in Iraq, 05-06, and I dont remember any civilian models this heavily equipped being there.




This videographer uses salty language to describe a Bradley Fighting vehicle that is unusual in his area.




Military vehicles spotted in Southeastern, N.C., 25 July.




Military vehicles videotaped in San Luis Obispo, CA, 2 August.




Operation Overwatch 2009: 8-2-09 Unmarked white van documented with military personnel.




Operation Over-Watch 8-2-09, 2 USAF planes flying together over rural Northwest Oklahoma where a local reports that USAF jets are an unusual event.




Unusual military activity observed and recorded on 2 August.




Unusual military or medical truck viewed with no license plate in Northwest Oklahoma: 2 August.




OPERATION OVERWATCH: Pontoon Bridges brought into NC during the beginning of August.




Operation Overwatch Toledo, Ohio, former Willys Jeep plant, now government property, 2 August.




During Operaton Overwatch in Central Florida on 2 August this object was filmed. Is this an advanced UAV (unmanned air vehicle)? There have been reports of this type of object appearing at political demonstrations.


Beijing Three Sentenced for Providing Tech to China

Clinton was just in China telling us what great friends we have in the Chinese. Nonetheless, Chinese nationals continue to commit acts of sabotage against the U.S.

Woman Snitches Herself Out to Comrade Obama

I reported that Comrade Obama has asked for snitches to report citizens who are exercising their civil rights. One woman made it easier for the dragoons; she "ratted" herself out. She states:


I'll Snitch Myself Out - Letter to Flag@Whitehouse.gov

This is a copy of the letter I sent to the snitch line at the White House:

Rather than rely on a telescreen as envisioned by George Orwell in his groundbreaking tome 1984, or wait for the Obama Youth Corps as currently being funded in New York under Mayor Bloomberg (a la the Nazi Youth Corps and here), I'll "snitch" myself out.

I blog as Miss Beth at Miss Beth's Victory Dance (http://missbethsvictorydance.blogspot.com). I'm a 48 year old white female, single mom who works for a living and my children are mulatto. In short, they have more black blood in them than BHO.

First and foremost, don't even try to pull the race card on me.

I disagree with Comrade obama on many, MANY levels of his policies, not least of which is his farce of health care "reform". This is not reform but a systematic takeover of yet another industry not mandated by our Constitution. You know, the document Comrade obama is intent upon destroying? The document Comrade obama CLAIMS to have been so knowledgeable of to the point of being able to teach? Yeah, that Constitution.

I object to the nationalization of the banks, the car industry, the bail outs and the robbery at gunpoint of my tax dollars. I object to the "spread the wealth" mentality of this racist in the White House. I object to Comrade obama bowing to the Saudi king while he sells out America. I object to the appeasement of the muslim community, which has stated unequivocally its desire to destroy us. I object to the 42 "czars" who answer to no one but Comrade obama. I object to the constant apologizing for America when he should be defending her. I object to selling out our allies while embracing our enemies. I object to the Neville Chamberlain approach. I object to my tax dollars being used for photo opportunities such as flyovers of New York City. I object to my tax dollars being used for his date nights. I object to the caliber of the company he keeps, such as William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Rev. Pflegler, Skip Gates, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I object to Comrade obama making racist comments about situations he knows nothing about a la Sgt. Crowley. I object to Comrade obama stripping our military of weapons and strategic military devices. I object to Comrade obama turning everything into a photo op instead of keeping his skinny butt in a chair and doing his job.

I object to Comrade obama's disrespect for life at all stages, particularly the Infant Born Alive Protection Act and his current fetish for "end of life" counseling in his alleged reform bill. I object to Comrade obama's attempt to shove this travesty of healthcare down my throat when he hasn't performed his own due diligence and read the bill while simply using it as a popularity platform. I object to the insane amount of pork Comrade obama has already forced onto future generations through his smoke and mirrors. I object to Comrade obama's quadrupling the national budget in 6 months--the highest budget in history.

I object to Comrade obama. I didn't vote for him and I never will. I'm a proud supporter of the tea parties. I'm a fervent supporter of individual rights and I will not become one of your brainwashed sheeple, lapping up the pablum being dropped among the masses by a stuporous, lazy media who refuses to pull the curtain back on the false wizard, showing this emperor wanna be to indeed have no clothes--to mix stories.

I object to the farce of anthropogenic global warming and the further rape of American's wallets by a non-existent crisis. The earth goes in cycles--learn your geology (particularly your paleo-geology) and quit telling me what light bulbs I can use. I object to being taxed repeatedly because I smoke. Most of us smokers will simply quit and that will put the tobacco companies (and their workers) out of business and end your "honey pot" of money coming in. The Constitution doesn't provide for you, Comrade obama, to institute a "sin tax" on me.

I will cling to my GOD (who, by the way IS NOT COMRADE obama), my guns and my change. I will make my OWN hope and not rely on a nanny state to provide it to me, telling me when I can live, when I can die, and what kind of quality of life I can have. And I will call for my fellow conservatives to protest, without violence, at every turn and every chance they get, just as the sheeple have been doing since time immemorial--although the sheeple have shown extreme violence toward dissenting opinions and no respect at all for rule of law.

I will continue to use facts and logic in the face of emotionalism. I will continue to point out today's liberals, Comrade obama chief among them, are themselves the liars, the hypocrites, the racists, the double standard holders, the two faced Janus', big government monkeys on my back they are. I will continue to work for a living, against all odds, in this travesty of an economy foisted upon us by a Marxist wanna be commander in chief who doesn't have the balls to produce proof of his eligibility to hold office under our cherished Constitution but who is arrogant enough to demand such proof of his opposition (who promptly produced it). I will continue to point out the misogynistic, narcissistic tendencies of an arrested child who can't handle a job he most certainly is not qualified to hold. A child who can't string together a simple sentence without a teleprompter. A child who feels he must stifle all opposition because the opposition sees through the smoke and mirrors.

And I will claim my actions are consistent with my cherished right to freedom of speech under the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Yes, I am blind copying several people on this email. For those people, I am providing Comrade obama's own words and the links to find them. From the White House Blog itself: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/Facts-Are-Stubborn-Things/. The problem is, we recognize the facts and the lies are no longer working on true Americans who think.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we are now exhorted, by the White House itself, to "snitch" on our neighbors and friends who disagree with the travesty known loosely as Obamacare. A direct quote:

"There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."

Those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it. Hitler had charisma and a smooth tongue himself. As for the Youth Corps, here is a link to Comrade obama's own words (on video): http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/11/obamas-plans-for-marxist-like-national.html and the actual text of the bill can be found here:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-1388

One last question--if this farce called obamacare is so great, why don't I see you, Comrade obama, being the first to sign yourself and your family up for it--and insisting the rest of Congress do the same? Why? Because it's not great, it's not even good. You would reserve the best health care for yourself.

It has been shown, repeatedly, in other countries, your idea is a dead horse. Quit beating it. Otherwise, be prepared for a lot of backlash from true Americans who DO believe in the Constitution, to be aimed at you and your lackies. And we vote. We will no longer tolerate being force fed the slop you think we want to eat. Your hope and change is actually Nope and Cringe.

You have enough clues. Come find me.

Forgery or Not? Let's Investigate

Whether the recently released alleged birth certificate for Obama is genuine or not I will leave up to the experts but readers of this blog may recall a story I posted on 23 April. A 1960 Heidelberg Printing Press sold on 14 April 2009. This technology would need to be available if someone was to forge Obama's birth certificate and oddly enough one was sold. Only briefly was it posted before the image was scrubbed from Google's cache server. But if someone was to forge a birth certificate from the early '60s, this would be the press they would need. A full investigation should be launched by a special non-partisan prosecutor to discover whether the recent document is a forgery or if Obama has an original long form birth certificate.

Statement from Banned Orly Taitz: Birth Certificate

Orly Taitz:

Recently Obama’s thugs in main stream media came up with this Bomford report in order to stop my efforts in exposing and prosecuting Obama. Though typically I don’t have time to waste on each and every dumb obot, since it got to National TV and my children”s friends called my children, I’ll spend a few minutes to debunk the obots:

1. Kenya became an independent country in 1963, not 1964. The seal of Kenya was correct.

2. More then one person had certified copies of this document.

3. The document was not issued at birth, but rather was a certified copy obtained in1964, when Kenya became independent.

4. The documents from that time would not show Zanzibar, but rather Kenya.

5. Bomford report was created to try to discredit my efforts.

6. Lastly, I am not supposed to waste my time and money on this issue, Obama is the one who is supposed to provide evidence of legitimacy.

7. [this] Kenyan BC provides more info than the piece of garbage Obama posted on the net, which doesn’t have the name of the hospital, name of the doctor or signatures.

8. Chioumi Fukino and Obama and all their Nazi Brown Shirts in the main stream media need to give it a rest and provide an original hospital BC and the corresponding big thick hospital Birthing file from the Kapiolani hospital. If they don’t have such a file, all of them need to resign immediately or they will be prosecuted for massive fraud and treason to this Nation. (in case you didn’t know, treason carries punishment of life in prison or the death penalty).


N.B.: Minor corrections made to original statement.

Democratic Lawmaker: "Cash for Clunkers," Boosts Foreign Car Sales

In the disastrous "Cash for Clunkers" program, details of which are being withheld by the Obama regime, Ford Motor Co.’s Focus was the top seller, followed by Toyota Motor Corp.’s Corolla, Honda Motor Co.’s Civic, and Toyota’s Prius and Camry.

The initial wording of the legislation sponsored by Representative Betty Sutton, an Ohio Democrat, would have barred discounts for new vehicles manufactured overseas and offered higher payments for cars and trucks produced in the U.S. than for those made in Canada and Mexico. The “Buy American” provision was dropped from the final legislation because of opposition from foreign automakers and free-trade advocates who said it would conflict with U.S. obligations to the World Trade Organization. The best advocates of foreign car sales is the U.S. Congress.

Russian Subs Off U.S. East Coast

A pair of nuclear-powered Russian attack submarines has been patrolling off the eastern seaboard of the United States in recent days, a rare mission that has raised concerns inside the Pentagon and intelligence agencies about a more assertive stance by the Russian military.

Obama has misunderstood the Cold War and he has unilaterally reduced our nuclear capabilities. In his meetings with Russian leaders he was artfully trounced. While Obama fumbles in regards to Russia, meanwhile, the former Soviets conducted naval exercises with Venezuela last year in the Caribbean and sent one of its warships through the Panama Canal for the first time since World War II. The exercises with Venezuela were the first deployment of Russian ships to the Western Hemisphere since the Cold War.

“I don’t think they’ve [the Russians] put two first-line nuclear subs off the U.S. coast in about 15 years,” said Norman Polmar, a naval historian and submarine warfare expert.

The submarines are of the Akula class, a counter to the Los Angeles class attack subs of the United States Navy, and not one of the larger submarines that can launch intercontinental nuclear missiles. One of the submarines is the newer Akula II, officials said, which is quieter than the older variant and the most advanced in the Russian fleet. The Akula is capable of carrying torpedoes for attacking other submarines and surface vessels as well as missiles for striking targets on land and at sea.

According to Defense Department officials, one of the Russian submarines remained in international waters on Tuesday about 200 miles off the coast of the United States. The location of the second remained unclear. One senior official said the second submarine traveled south in recent days toward Cuba, while another senior official with access to reports on the surveillance mission said it had sailed away in a northerly direction.

The Pentagon and intelligence officials spoke anonymously to describe the effort to track the Russian submarines, which has not been publicly announced.

The submarine patrols come as Moscow tries to shake off the embarrassment of the latest failed test of the Bulava missile, a long-range weapon that was test fired from a submarine in the Arctic on July 15. The failed missile test was the sixth since 2005, and some experts see Russia’s assertiveness elsewhere as a gambit by the military to prove its continued relevance.

While the submarines have not taken any provocative action beyond their presence outside territorial waters of the United States, officials expressed wariness over the Kremlin’s motivation for ordering such an unusual mission.

As Obama has lowered our defenses the Russians have responded according to their interests.

Health Care Rationing Includes Federal Funding for Abortion

Health care rationing before Congress would allow a new government-sponsored insurance plan to cover abortions, a decision that reverses federal policy health directives.

This Could Never Happen in America



The Illinois National Guard has deployed combat vehicles in the streets of Springfield which went into effect as of this week.


Staff Sgt. Daniel Becker told the AP that people shouldn’t be afraid.


“No, they shouldn’t be afraid — they need to let the idea sink in that it is normal for armed troops to be on the streets. After they get used to military vehicles on the roads, they will need to get accustomed to military checkpoints like the ones in Iraq and Afghanistan.”

Northeast Intelligence Network Claims to Have Proof

Obama Says to Inform on Citizens Who Question His Plans

Obama is calling on informants to denounce opponents of the health care rationing plan. A post on the White House website posted today reads:


There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.


The only solace is that the government may not be able to control all of its people.

Spector D-PA Ticks off Constituents: "fast"



Spector states he wants single-payer (government) health rationing.






The crowd is angry already but Spector annoys more people by stating Congress has to work "fast" to pass a bill that the people do not want.


All over the country, politicians are getting a cold reception from their constituents:


The Joker



Who knows who the Joker is that created this image? No one seems to know but the website that first published the image crashed yesterday because so many had been attempting to view it. It has since been spotted in Los Angeles and Atlanta after it appeared in the U.S. media. The poster is an indication that the level of dissatisfaction with Obama is heightening.


Posters of the swine flu are emerging in airports and as Obama is losing hold on the populace, support for his health rationing, and failed programs, more serious moves may be in the offing.


Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.

"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."


A similar image,




of Bush, long ago appeared in the mainstream media, Vanity Fair, on 29 July 2008.

Uncovered Video: Obama Explains How His Health Care Plan Will ‘Eliminate’ Private Insurance



Obama explains that his plans for health care reform would eventually lead to the elimination of private health insurance companies in favor of a single-payer system.

"I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition process, I can envision in a decade out, or fifteen years out, or twenty years out," Obama says in a 2007 interview with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU). The video montage then follows with a 2003 speech given by Obama at an AFL-CIO conference on "Civil, Human, and Women's Rights" in which he says, "I am a proponent of single-payer universal health care plans."

Hiatus

I will need to sharpen my anvil for a bit so Blog Smith is on a brief hiatus.

Obama Care



The American Thinker wrote a revealing commentary on this "Obama Care" photograph that someone at the White House really should have thought a bit more about before releasing. The picture tells you all you need to know about Obama and what he thinks of his campaign supporter, Gates, and most importantly for Americans, how you may expect to be treated during his regime. If this is how he treats his friends, what type of care would you expect under his health care rationing plan? Bear in mind that Gate's employer, Harvard, donated $854,017 to Obama's campaign. With friends like that, who needs enemies?


On the other hand, there are Americans who work at difficult jobs every day, are misunderstood, second-guessed, and judged daily by people who will even call them "stupid." Yet, these Americans, such as Sergeant Crowley, simply perform their duty and help all they can.


This country is in debt to our public servants, Sgt. Crowley and the Boston Police Department come to mind, regardless of who is foolish enough to criticize stand-up Americans.

Health Care Rationing: Not Good Enough for Representatives



The majority on the House Energy and Commerce Committee refused to consider an amendment by Health Care Solutions Group Chairman Roy Blunt to require all federal elected officials, including the president, vice-president, and the Congress, to join the government health care plan.


How many Americans would eat in a restaurant where the chef refused to eat the food?


Likewise, Americans should denounce the health care rationing plan when they return to their home districts. Congress would approve health care rationing for the peasants but not for themselves.

The People Say: Health Rationing Propaganda, Or, Waterloo Obama?



Claire McCaskill gets an earful on health care rationing. The people speak.

More 9/11 Flyover Simulation Photos Released

A heavily censored flight manifest was released from what many described as "Air Farce One" in its flyover the
New York skyline,
eerily similar to the 9/11 attack, on 27 April 2009. The $328,000 flight, when reported, less than credibly, as a photo op, resulted in only one photo that many identified as a graphics-generated image. 146 more photos were available on the Pentagon web site today. None of the photos seem to reflect the live, spontaneous, and frightening experience
of the people who actually witnessed the event.

4th Amendment - Search and Seizure.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

National Guard Hiring to Inter Civilians

The National Guard is advertising for "Corrections Officer Internment/Resettlement Specialist - Army National Guard (Pensacola/Panama City, Florida)." The requirements for this positions are listed:


“As an Internment/Resettlement Specialist for the Army National Guard, you will ensure the smooth running of military confinement/correctional facility or detention/internment facility, similar to those duties conducted by civilian Corrections Officers. . . . This will require you to know proper procedures and military law; and have the ability to think quickly in high-stress situations. Specific duties may include assisting with supervision and management operations; providing facility security; providing custody, control, supervision, and escort; and counseling individual prisoners in rehabilitative programs.”


The Specialist is hired handle prisoners in rehabilitatative programs. Since this program is similar to ordinary corrections officers, the question must be who are these specialists guarding? The answer to that question is made clearer by considering Army Regulation 210-35, entitled the “Civilian Inmate Labor Program,” that provides “guidance for establishing and managing civilian inmate labor programs on Army installations."


The conclusion to be drawn is that the National Guard is currently hiring Specialists to inter civilians.


Under National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive (National Security Presidential Directive NSPD 51/Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-20, or called simply “Executive Directive 51″ for short), signed by George W. Bush on 4 May 2007, the government has the authority to declare a national emergency and impose martial law. NSPD 51 grants extraordinary police state powers to the White House and Homeland Security, presumably including detention of a large number of people as established under these military programs.

On 30 July, CNN reported that the U.S. military is gearing up to get involved in the H1N1 swine flu outbreak promised to strike later this year.

Pandemic Flu Checklist for Individuals

Pandemic Flu Checklist for Individuals

July 30, 2009 · Filed under Flu

From the CDC.gov Pandemic Flu Checklist for Individuals:

You can prepare for an influenza pandemic now. You should know both the magnitude of what can happen during a pandemic outbreak and what actions you can take to help lessen the impact of an influenza pandemic on you and your family. This checklist will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandemic.

1.To plan for a pandemic:

◦Store a two week supply of water and food. During a pandemic, if you cannot get to a store, or if stores are out of supplies, it will be important for you to have extra supplies on hand. This can be useful in other types of emergencies, such as power outages and disasters.

◦Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.

◦Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.

◦Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

◦Volunteer with local groups to prepare and assist with emergency response.

◦Get involved in your community as it works to prepare for an influenza pandemic.

2.To limit the spread of germs and prevent infection:

◦Teach your children to wash hands frequently with soap and water, and model the correct behavior.

◦Teach your children to cover coughs and sneezes with tissues, and be sure to model that behavior.

◦Teach your children to stay away from others as much as possible if they are sick. Stay home from work and school if sick.

3.Items to have on hand for an extended stay at home:

Examples of food and non-perishables

◦Ready-to-eat canned meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and soups

◦Protein or fruit bars

◦Dry cereal or granola

◦Peanut butter or nuts

◦Dried fruit

◦Crackers

◦Canned juices

◦Bottled water

◦Canned or jarred baby food and formula

◦Pet food

Examples of medical, health, and emergency supplies

◦Prescribed medical supplies such as glucose and blood-pressure monitoring equipment

◦Soap and water, or alcohol-based (60-95%) hand wash

◦Medicines for fever, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen

◦Thermometer

◦Anti-diarrheal medication

◦Vitamins

◦Fluids with electrolytes

◦Cleansing agent/soap

◦Flashlight

◦Batteries

Other non-perishable items

◦Portable radio

◦Manual can opener

◦Garbage bags

◦Tissues, toilet paper, disposable diapers

I would add a few things to that list:

Disposable latex (or neoprene) gloves in the event that you have to care for a sick family member.

Bleach, Lysol, other disinfecting agents to clean up vomit/waste.

"Tank man" blocks a column of tanks heading east on Beijing's Chang'an Boulevard (Avenue of Eternal Peace) near Tiananmen Square during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989. This photo was taken from the sixth floor of the Beijing Hotel, about half a mile away, through a 400mm lens.


Graphic source: 5 June 1989, Jeff Widener (The Associated Press).


A number of sources have confirmed that the national flag of the People's Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on 20 September.

The date is in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.

The event is said to celebrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit, and kindness of the Chinese.


There seems to be few public recollections about the Tianamen Square massacre in which protesters erected the Goddess of Democracy; in addition, there were no American government commemorations this past June during the anniversary of the massacre.


If Americans do not recall Tianamen they certainly will not heed Washington's statement that we should avoid "entangling alliances." As Jefferson promoted our interests he stated:


“Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations — entangling alliances with none, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration.”


Thomas Jefferson, 1st Inaugural Address, 1801



“America goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all. She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.... She well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standards of freedom.”


John Quincy Adams, 1821

Officers Run Background Check On Obama; Placed On Leave

In the atmosphere of fear we are transitioning into, police should not even run a background check on Obama. Two police officers apparently simply accessed his file to find out what it contained and as a result they were placed on leave for their efforts. The Secret Service was immediately notified of their actions.


Americans are asked to place their personal medical records online; their communication may be monitored but no one dare look at Obama's file.


What is in his file? Perhaps there is no long form birth certificate.

Satire: Birth Certificate


Sen. Kyle (AZ) On Health Care Rationing

Thank you for contacting me regarding health care reform. I appreciate the opportunity to respond.

The U.S. health care system is the best in the world, spurring advancements in new medical treatments and technologies. Such innovation helps physicians treat and prevent diseases better than ever before, eradicates once fatal epidemics, and helps Americans lead longer, healthier lives.

Despite these advances, millions of Americans struggle to find affordable health insurance options. From 1999 to 2008, the average cost of a family health plan increased by 119 percent from $5,791 to $12,680. Meanwhile, workers' wages increased 34 percent during the same nine-year period. Ensuring access to quality, affordable health care is a laudable goal. I support targeted solutions that lower health care costs and improve health care by building upon, not completely dismantling, our health care system.

Unfortunately, many of the proposals being considered in the U.S. Senate will make health insurance more expensive, jeopardize Arizonans' current coverage, and expand the government's control over health care. While you will not find the words "ration," "withhold coverage," or "delay access to care" in the pending plans, that is what will result from the web of federally-dictated insurance reforms, new legal obligations, and provider reimbursement schemes that are part of them. Such policies centralize the power of medical decisions with politicians and bureaucrats, not patients and doctors, and they will result in the delay or denial of care.

There are three main problems with the Majority party's proposals: the implementation of a government-run insurance plan, the use of comparative effectiveness research, and spending.

Government-Run Insurance Plan:

First, the Majority's proposals would create a new, government-run health insurance plan to compete against private insurance plans. The argument is that a government-run plan would give consumers a better range of choices and make the health care market more competitive -- "keep the insurance companies honest," as the President put it. However, well-respected, independent analysis provides evidence to the contrary. For one thing, a government-run plan would be subsidized by the taxpayers, giving the government plan a huge advantage over competitors. Yet, even government resources are not unlimited. To save money after tens of millions of people are added to the public plan, the government would cut reimbursement to doctors and hospitals, exacerbating the difficulty Arizonans' already encounter in trying to schedule doctor appointments. To make up for low government reimbursements to providers, insurance companies would have to charge more for private insurance, making it less attractive than the government plan.

Over time, there will only be room for the government plan according to the respected Lewin Group, as 119 million Americans would lose their current coverage. Remember, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were designed as independent "government-sponsored enterprises" to complement the private mortgage market. Now, Fannie and Freddie account for a combined share of 73 percent of mortgage originations in the second half of 2008. The two "government-sponsored enterprises" are now effectively owned and run by the federal government, after having sustained losses of over $100 billion last year alone. A Washington-run health care plan will do to the health care market what Fannie and Freddie did to the housing market.

Comparative Effectiveness Research

Second, the Majority's plan would create a new research entity to conduct so-called comparative effectiveness research (CER). CER is a mechanism used by medical professionals to provide information on the relative strengths and weaknesses of various procedures and treatments. In the hands of doctors, medical researchers, and other health professionals, CER can help patients and their own doctors make informed health care decisions. However, in the hands of government, CER can become a tool to delay or deny care. For example, the National Institute for Health and Clinical Effectiveness in Britain uses "cost-effectiveness research" to make health care decisions. By basing treatment decisions on cost rather than need, Britain prescribes fewer cancer drugs than any of the other big five European nations; its patients therefore have the lowest survival rate according to a May edition of National Review. The UK's system provides only half of the care for end-stage renal disease patients that we do in the United States. Obviously, such rationing of care is not something we should replicate in the United States.

It is telling that none of the Majority's proposals in Congress would bar the federal government from using CER to deny access to care. In fact, when I offered an amendment in April to explicitly bar the use of CER to ration care, it was defeated on a near party-line vote. I have now introduced a free standing bill to ensure that any information obtained through CER cannot be used to deny access to care. The Preserving Access to Targeted, Individualized, and Effective New Treatments and Service (PATIENTS) Act of 2009 (S. 1259) will protect the doctor-patient relationship and ensure access to the highest quality medical care. I will fight at every opportunity to ensure that any health care reform plan the Senate considers later this year protects patients' access to care.

Cost

Finally, the Majority's plans would cost between $1 trillion and $2 trillion, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. But even that may understate the true cost. Consider that Massachusetts enacted near universal health insurance in 2006, and costs have exploded, doubling from $630 million in 2007 to an estimated $1.3 billion just two years later. To deal with those costs, the state has decided to slow enrollment of beneficiaries and eliminate dental coverage for its poorest residents. A special commission, which was established by the state legislature, has now recommended limiting coverage to those health care services that government deems to be cost-effective -- just like government-run health systems in other nations such as Canada and Great Britain do.

Furthermore, the plans would be financed by a combination of new taxes and cuts in Medicare spending, hurting seniors' access to care. The Medicare Trust Fund is expected to reach bankruptcy by 2017. Taking money from one program with urgent solvency problems, such as Medicare, to fund a huge expansion of health care benefits for others is not sensible.

I believe in the right of every American to choose the doctor, hospital, and insurance plan of his or her choice. No Washington bureaucrat should interfere with that right or substitute the government's judgment for that of a physician. Any health reform proposal should adhere to these principles.

I appreciate your sharing your thoughts on this important issue. Please stay in touch.

Sincerely,

JON KYL
United States Senator

Martial Law Coming to the United States

CNN reported that the U.S. is a step closer to martial law by revealing that active, military troops are preparing to be dispersed throughout the nation. The increasing effects of the flu pandemic will most likely to be the trigger event. The fear and panic aroused by the pandemic may be easily used as an excuse to implement martial law and a mandatory vaccination program. Vaccinations will be required (Cf.
Jacobson vs. Massachusetts).


Jacobson believed that the scientific basis for vaccination was unsound and that he would suffer if he was vaccinated. The Supreme Court examined the issue of whether involuntary vaccination violated Jacobson's "'inherent right of every freeman to care for his own body and health in such way as seems to him best . . . " The Court bifurcated this question, first considering the right of the state to invade Jacobson's person by forcing him to submit to vaccination:

This court has more than once recognized it as a fundamental principle that "persons and property are subjected to all kinds of restraints and burdens, in order to secure the general comfort, health, and prosperity of the State; of the perfect right of the legislature to do which no question ever was, or upon acknowledged general principles ever can be made, so far as natural persons are concerned."' (at 26)


The Court interpreted the social contract where the individual must give up some personal freedom in exchange for the benefits of being in a civilized society. Jacobson sought to enjoy the benefit of his neighbors being vaccinated without personally accepting the risks inherent in vaccination. The Court rejected Jacobson's claim which it viewed as an attempt to be a free-rider on society.

The Court next considered Jacobson's right to contest the scientific basis of the Massachusetts vaccination requirement. Accepting that some reasonable people still questioned the efficacy of vaccination, the Court nonetheless found that it was within the legislature's prerogative to adopt one from many conflicting views on a scientific issue. The Court ruled that the state may choose scientifically questionable grounds for vaccination but the right of the individual to refuse the government is not possible.




In addition, as reported by CNS News earlier this month, a health-care rationing bill approved by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee called The Affordable Health Choices Act, will fund the creation of state “intervention” teams that will carry out home visits in order to check that both children and adults have been vaccinated and also provide “provision of immunizations.”


“Home visits" will be made by the state and will send representatives to “implement interventions” in private homes designed “to improve immunization coverage of children.”


By placing combat troops amongst Americans these type of measures will be enforced. Americans, for example, who opposed the FEMA occupation of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, had their weapons seized.


And recently, the U.S. Northern Command (Northcom) was assigned its own fighting unit-–the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team, which had been fighting in Iraq for five years before that. The U.S. will be confronting combat veterans on the streets and homes of America. In violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, and out of keeping with one of the conditions sparking the American Revolution, troops will be deployed amongst civilians. As reported on this blog for some time, soldiers have been appearing at the Boston Marathon, at the Kentucky Derby, at the last Inauguration, and in routine murder investigations. This desensitization to un-American activities, has conditioned Americans to accept combat troops on the streets and highways as a part of everyday life.


The question to consider is why is it that first-responders, police, National Guard, Homeland Security, the FBI, and all ordinary and typical American means are now exceeded by placing even combat-hardened military troops to handle Americans? What is the government expecting? Why do Americans require such man-handling as is typical of banana republics and countries that are collapsing?


This development is absolutely unprecedented in American history when troops were called up under only the most extreme conditions such as during the Civil Rights struggle, war demonstrations, and the occupation of the South after the Civil War.

911 Tape Reveals Caller Did Not Bring Up Race Of Gates

The 911 tape reveals that the caller did not identify the race of Gates when calling in the report. One "gentleman" who she thought was breaking in she did not see at all and one looked "sorta' Hispanic." She was not sure and stated this point clearly. She asked the police to investigate; she did not know what was going on but neighbors were concerned.


The only thing "stupid" about the case is that a racist might hear about it and state that the police acted poorly.


In addition, the police who responded, and when they were dispatched the race was unknown, one suspect was described as "possibly Hispanic"




but race was not a factor in the dispatch. The Cambridge Officer dispatched notes: "He is not cooperative." Gates was his own worst enemy.


Gates has been at it for some time. Gates spoke in a church speech in 1996






where he uses the N-word, rants against "racist historically white institutions in America" and accuses Newt Gingrich of attempting to block blacks from entering the middle class.

He states:


"We are trying to end what we call the one n-gger syndrome–you know, this place ain't big enough for more than one of us,"
said Gates in the video, filmed in the All Souls Church in Washington, D.C.

"We in the academy have to know that our people, those of us who practice African-American studies, have to know that our people are under assault," Gates said.


He continued: "Newt Gingrich can come in, that Contract for America is serious. You know what those guys have said? 'Somehow, while we were asleep, all you white women and all you black people got into the middle class.'

"'We are not sure how it happened. But the first thing we are going to do is we are going to shake the tree and any of y'all who can't hold on, you're all going back. And the second thing, we are going to set up barriers so no more of you all can get in here.'"


"I was able to go to Yale University because they were trying to diversify themselves," he said. "Because of racism I never would have been allowed to compete on a more or less level terrain with white boys and white girls.


"What we're trying to do is end 'your mamma' and 'your daddy criticism,' which is what African-Americans quite frankly have mastered in for 250 years," he said.


In clearly racially divisive remarks, Gates blasted the state of North Carolina, drawing applause when he exclaimed, "I don't even like the airplane to fly over North Carolina."


One audience member yelled out that American jazz great John Coltrane was born in North Carolina.

"Oh, that's true. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," said Gates. "And they got good barbeque, too. So maybe it's OK."


He should be taken at his own word, on his Yale application he wrote:

"As always, whitey now sits in judgment of me, preparing to cast my fate. It is your decision either to let me blow with the wind as a nonentity or to encourage the development of self. Allow me to prove myself."

Obama: "retarded" Health Care Rationing

The proposed health-rationing bill from the House of Representatives refers to mentally disabled people as "retarded"--a term advocates feel is discriminatory and offensive.

The bill refers to: "A hospital or a nursing facility or intermediate-care facility for the mentally retarded . . ."

The phrase is a rehash of the controversy with advocate groups for the developmentally disabled, who were angered when Obama referred to his poor bowling skills on "The Tonight Show" as "like the Special Olympics."

Obama Waterloo: Chilly

Barry Falling Down Faster Than a Teleprompter: 9 Points Now



The continuing decline of Barry continues: the Rasmussen report demonstrates his largest disapproval rating yet: -9 points.

Intelligence on Obama: Never Could Be a Natural Born Citizen

In December ‘08 a retired CIA officer commissioned an investigator to look into the Obama birth certificate and eligibility issue. The Western Center for Journalism has released the report.


One of summary statements in the report is critically important:


If, in 1961, 17 year old Ann Dunham gave birth to a child on foreign soil whose father was not an American citizen, then the Immigration and Nationality Act at that time denied Barack Obama any right to American citizenship of any kind. Therefore if at the time of his birth Obama was ineligible for American citizenship of any kind, then he cannot be a “natural-born citizen”. This is true even if the Immigration and Nationality Act was changed 33 years after he was born. Even if the law was retroactively changed to grant citizenship (but not “natural-born” citizenship) to some of those who had at birth been denied it. If a person is not at the time of his birth an American citizen, he cannot be a natural-born citizen. Therefore, that person is ineligible under Article II, Section1 for the Office of President of the United States.


There is no possibility whatsoever that Obama is a natural born citizen and therefore qualified to be president.
