Harry Knox, Obama’s recent appointment to the faith-based council illustrates how Obama uses these faith councils to give lip service to faith, while appointing people that undermine Christianity, that are outright anti Christian.
In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, the Director of The White House Faith Based Office, Joshua DuBois, takes issue with a report in The Washington Post that portrayed the Faith Council within the Office as more “show” than … The Brody File – http://blogs.cbn.com/thebrodyfile/
Religious leaders worry that Obama’s faith council is for show-Washington Post
…as the council prepares to end its first term and issue its report, some faith leaders across the ideological spectrum — including some Obama allies — say the operation may be more about window dressing than results.Critics say that the faith-based office isn’t enough of a priority at the White House and that faith leaders who were consulted regularly during the campaign are now simply copied on pro-forma e-mails. They complain that Obama is no longer using the faith language that he employed as a candidate to frame his policy goals, and that before the new faith council convened, some of the most controversial questions, including religious hiring and abortion, were taken off the table.

EU Debt Crisis could speak to a larger issue, the impracticality of massively united systems in the new global reality. As the Greek Debt problem grows, it is becoming apparent to EU members that being a member of a large union puts each member’s country at risk to the effect of even a small member of that group.
Euro Debt Crisis Is Political Test for Bloc- NYTimes
PARIS — What began with worries about the solvency of Greece in the face of high deficits, fake budget figures and low growth has quickly become the most severe test of the 16-nation euro zone in its 11-year history.
Anxiety about the health of the euro, which has spread from Greece to Portugal, Spain and Italy, is not simply a crisis of debts, rating agencies and volatile markets. The issue has at its heart elements of a political crisis, because it goes to the central dilemma of the European Union: the continuing grip of individual states over economic and fiscal policy, which makes it difficult for the union as a whole to exercise the political leadership needed to deal effectively with a crisis..
How the Greek Debt Crisis threatens the whole EU market:
As America grows its own debt crisis through the intentional printing of money and bloated government spending by the Socialist regime, the Obama administration, the rest of the world wonders how profitable it is, longterm, to be heavily dependent on an American-dominated world market. The cracks in Global-Scale systems are beginning to widen.
The unemployment rate drops to 9.7%. But, the BLS changed the survey calculations in this latest unemployment report, and had it not been for the ‘new’ changes the unemployment rate is 10.6%.
JAN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE: 9.7% V 10.0%E (Note 10.6% without changes in survey)
- Note: data subject to changes due to new calculation of Unemployment using a household survey, which is said to capture small business data better than the employment survey.
Revisions to Establishment Survey Data
In accordance with annual practice, the establishment survey data have been
revised to reflect comprehensive universe counts of payroll jobs, or benchmarks.
These counts are derived principally from unemployment insurance tax records
for March 2009. As a result of the benchmark process, all data series were
subject to revision from April 2008 forward, the time period since the last
benchmark was established. In addition, with this release, the seasonally
adjusted establishment survey data from January 2005 forward were subject to
revision due to the introduction of updated seasonal adjustment factors.
Table A presents revised total nonfarm employment data on a seasonally adjust-
ed basis for January through December 2009. The revised data for April 2009
forward incorporate the effect of applying the rate of change measured by the
sample to the new benchmark level, as well as updated net business birth/death
model adjustments and new seasonal adjustment factors. The November and
December 2009 revisions also reflect the routine incorporation of additional
sample receipts into the November final and December second preliminary
estimates. The total nonfarm employment level for March 2009 was revised down-
ward by 902,000 (930,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis), or 0.7 percent. The
previously published level for December 2009 was revised downward 1,390,000
(1,363,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis).[…]
But it gets worse:
http://blog.rebeltraders.net/2010/02/05/unemployment-data-january-report-includes-new-survey-methodology/
How could there be fewer payroll jobs, but the unemployment rate declined? This is because the data comes from two separate surveys. The establishment survey showed a loss of 20,000 payroll jobs in January, but the household survey showed an increase in the employment level of 541,000.
The number to use for jobs is the establishment survey, but the unemployment number is based on the household survey. The two surveys can diverge over the short period, but over time it will all work out. This was a hot topic last year when the unemployment rate decline to 9.4% in July, and some commentators wondered if the unemployment rate had peaked (see: Unemployment and Net Jobs).
Now we have an unemployment figure that drops a tiny .3 percent, while we still LOSE jobs, and the prior numbers have been cooked by withholding the reporting of an additional 700,000 jobs over the last year. Add to that no one is even factoring in the blip in employment caused by the Christmas Season. Those layoffs start just after inventory season ends.
This means that none of the major calculations for determining the health of the economy are even remotely reliable. They are in fact false statistics that might well just be scribbled on paper and pushed to the various propaganda organs for the consumption of the masses.
….10.1% unemployment….has magically gone down to 9.7% despite the government’s own ‘adjusted’ figures for last year, showing an increase of unemployment from about 7.5 million jobs lost during this recession to EIGHT POINT FOUR MILLION. Jobs lost in December were revised from 85,000 to ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND….
Editor Note: Factoring in the real available jobs numbers at 135 million instead of 129 mil the govt data is using, the real unemployment rate os 10.6%
The Business Sector has already cast serious doubts at this magically produced number
The moral of the story is this: Never trust numbers released by an administration hell-bent on manipulation and propaganda to fool the American people to buy their fascist, socialist agenda
Craig Becker, Barack Obama’s nominee for Labor Relations Board is openly hostile to the democratic process, believes we should be coerced into being members of Unions, which are merely a front to his Socialist agenda. As a member of SEIU, founded by Socialist Andy Stern (SEIU Associate General Counsel Craig Becker), his connections to the Obama Progressive Slave Machine are open to anyone who googles “Craig Becker Socialist”or “Craig Becker SEIU”
From BigGovernment:
The NLRB has two primary functions: one, to prevent and remedy unfair labor practices, whether committed by labor organizations or employers, and; two, to establish whether or not certain groups of employees desire labor organization representation for collective-bargaining purposes, and if so, which union.
Becker will be the third person on the five person Board and the second Democrat thus giving them majority on the Board. To say that Becker’s views are “extreme” would be an insult. His views of employer-employee relations invites thoughts of hammers and sickles.
Here is an article about his loyalty to Fascist Alinksy and the poster children of Alinskyism- Acorn:
As the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Associate General Counsel, Becker has regularly advocated for inappropriate use of the NLRB’s power. In an instant of uncensored honesty, Mr. Becker wrote that employers should be barred from NLRB proceedings:
“On these latter issues employers should have no right to be heard in either a representation case or an unfair labor practice case, even though Board rulings might indirectly affect their duty to bargain.”
In Becker’s opinion, business owners, many of whom are small business owners that collectively employee 50 million Americans, have “no legally cognizable interest” in one of the most significant decisions impacting the potential future success of their company. But Becker takes his views one step further and would even deny employers the ability to alert authorities to illegal union activity during an election campaign saying:
“Similarly, employers should have no right to raise questions concerning voter eligibility or campaign conduct. Because employers have no right to vote, they cast no ballots the significance of which can be diluted by the inclusion of ineligible employees. … Because employers lack the formal status either of candidates vying to represent employees or voters, they should not be entitled to charge that unions disobeyed the rules governing voter eligibility or campaign conduct. On the questions of unit determination, voter eligibility, and campaign conduct, only the employee constituency and their potential union representatives should be heard.”
To suggest that employers should have no role in the unionization process, as Mr. Becker does, is a point of view that is outside of the mainstream and one that puts him at odds with the current practices of the NLRB.
Just as Mr. Becker views employers as obstacles to increased unionization, he similarly views workers ability to democratically choose union representation as problematic:
“Just as U.S. Citizens cannot opt against having a congressman, workers should not be able to choose against having a union as their monopoly-bargaining agent.”
Republicans Oppose Nomination of Pro-Labor Union Activist to Join National Labor Relations Board- theunionlabelblog
The Democrats get their crooked, sold-out union thug passed out of committee before Scott Brown got sworn in, anyway.
In a 13-10 vote along party lines, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee approved the nomination Thursday of Craig Becker to join the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), paving the way for a full Senate vote on the controversial nominee in the coming weeks.
But two Republicans on the committee – ranking member Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Ark.) – reversed an earlier vote in October in favor of Becker when his nomination passed out of committee on a 15 to 8 vote.
This sets up a showdown on the Senate Floor. Will the GOP filibuster the Socialist, fascist Craig Becker?

Here is the committee hearing Becker squeaked through:
Craig Becker could not be sworn to serve as he stands against all the basic tenets of democracy and the US Constitution. A vote for Craig Becker is an open declaration of your illegal Socialist position, grounds for impeachment, in this writer’s opinion.
