Occupiers Target US Ports- Progressive Socialist Sedition Targets THE END OF AMERICA

Socialist Occupiers Wage War On America- Bill Collier- Radical Progressive anti-capitalists are targeting US ports on the west coast with street actions in the hope of provoking a police response and creating unsafe working conditions which the Unions can use as an excuse to stop work in the ports. The Occupiers, who want to implement a Soviet-style one-party state in America, are backed by radicalized front groups, like the local teacher’s union in Oakland, California, in their bid to replace capitalism with state-controlled economic planning.

Ports along the west coast are bracing for a promised onslaught of Progressive socialist sedition which many fear will lead to violence. The Occupiers have engaged in violence in cities throughout America leading to injuries of law enforcement officers and even rapes and murders within their illegal encampments. The socialist sedition, if successful, would plunge the US into a massive depression, which could turn out millions of angry workers who the Progressive socialist Occupiers believe they can then recruit for their world-wide socialist revolution.

The agenda of the Progressive socialist agitators is to impose a “sexual liberation” that distracts people from the loss of their far more important economic, cultural, religious, and political freedoms as they impose a Soviet style one-party state once they have seized power. The Occupiers, unlike the Progressives in the Democratic party, favor immediate revolution while the Democrats favor a slow-motion “revolution by subversion”. As more and more Americans are waking up to the reality of, and getting angry about, this radical anti-freedom agenda the Occupiers are looking for a way to quickly finish their revolution before the Progressives lose even more ground during the next election cycle.

The Occupiers are using the rhetoric of populism, much as many authoritarian regimes in the past and present have (including the Mullahs of Iran, Hugo Chavez, Lenin, Franco of Spain, Mao, and even Hitler’s “National Socialist German Worker’s Party”). Their proposal for solving “injustice” by “corporations” is to totally transfer power away from the corporations to the state, under the guise that they are transferring power to “the People.”

The waging of economic war against these United States is an act of sedition, however, the present American Administration is not likely to label this sedition as such because the Democratic Party is actively seeking to co-opt or channel the radical energy of the Occupiers into support for Democratic candidates during 2012, a fact that this front party for American radical Progressive socialists seems to want to conceal from the majority of voters who reject the socialist ideology which is at the heart of Progressivism.

The emergence of a true Worker’s Freedom Movement which stands up for the rights and interests of workers, as well as their values and beliefs, without compromising our national commitment to a free market and a constitutionally limited form of self-government, is the only viable alternative to Unions that have become purely ideological, in favor of state-control over the economy in the NAME of the workers, and which reflect the corrupt moral depravity of a small minority of God-hating, America-hating secular humanists who seek to impose an atheistic, amoral lifestyle on America (beginning with our children) while forcing any kind of morality that has a religious genesis into the “closet”.

The Occupiers wish to recolonize America with a caesaristic old-world ideology of state-control over the economy that gives people “sexual freedom” at the expense of REAL freedom. Their waging of economic war on America’s ports is not likely to be responded to in a proportional manner, with under-armed and under-staffed police forces being sent against groups of seditionists who want to destroy America itself as part of their ideology for a world-wide socialist revolution.

Some of the Unions, however, may be seeing in this effort a really bad “jump the shark” moment which, far from shutting down ports and winning more powers for the state-controlled economy, will only harden public sentiment against Progressivism, hurt Democrats at the polls, and cause their members to be out of work, and this all for little real gain.

Regardless of the outcome, the Occupiers are determined that NOW is the time to implement a Progressive socialist revolution and destroy America as a union of popular and democratic republics while creating, in its place, a union of soviet socialist “republics” with Washington DC as the national capital and planning center for the state-controlled economy.

Is Gloria Allred’s Lynch Mob Partner, Sharon Bialek, A Marketing Executive?- Sharon Bialek

Sharon Bialek, claiming to be a tea party supporter, made a lot of wild accusations against Herman Cain.

Her allegations have no basis of external proof, it is stricly a "she-said/he-said" deal, and her lawyer is the infamous Gloria Alred, who famously trumpeted the accusers of the Duke Lacrosse team, ruinbing their seaon, only to see her client exposed as an outright liar.

The whole thing smells of political fishiness, and now we may have discovered that Sharon Bialek is an acccount executive for a liberal leaning ad agency, see here: http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/153340-Fates_Fortunes.php

See bottom of page-

At Katz Marketing Dimensions: Judy Carlough, sales manager, Greater Boston Radio, Boston, named VP/manager, Atlanta; Jeanne Schad, account supervisor, Richards Group, Dallas, named account manager, Dallas; Sharon Bialek, NTR director, WGN Radio, Chicago, named account manager, Chicago.

Why would THIS matter?

If Bialek is a marketing executive whose firm worked on "branding" and "media communications". then this would make sense. No doubt Cain's accuser, if she IS a marketing executive, knows that she will be the darling of the liberal elite social circles and hereafter never lack for a good place of employment.

Is what she is saying TRUE?

So far the accuser has claimed that she is a registered republican and tea party supporter.

In Illinois there are no "registered" this or that, unlike in Pennsylvania where you delcare a party, in Illinois, you don't. So then nobody could ossibly substantiate this claim.

See the Illinoise voter registration here: http://www.elections.il.gov/Downloads/VotingInformation/PDF/R-19.pdf

Hat tip to Steve Eggleston for showing us this: http://norunnyeggs.com/  

We are hearing from LOCAL Tea Party groups, via http:/www.publiusforum.com that so far NO local tea party member has ever heard of this woman.

This is America, we are supposed to say "inocent until proven guilty", a principle Alred urged be abandoned during the Duke Lacrosse debace and that she is trying to set aside now.

Israel Prepares For War

Willia R Collier Jr.- On All Fronts Israel Faces Pan-Islamic Aggression- Even as the Israeli left gears up to demand hand-outs while opposing a strong defense against the Pan-Islamic aggression being aimed at Israel, the Prime Minister wants to prepare for a war for Israel's survival.

The main threat is coming from Iran, both in the form of its nuclear ambitions and its constant support for Pan-Islamic aggression through the Arab occupiers of Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and Gaza. These Arab occupiers want to forge another Pan-Islamic state on the carcass of a dismembered and shrunken Israel, stealing the lands of the Jews as they often do of their neighbors, including Egypt, Kurdistan, Lebanon, and Assyria.

Israeli preparations for war include, as we have already noted, possible sub-launched missile attacks, land-born missile attacks, and, potentially, material support for anti-regime forces in Iran. The Israeli cabinet, after a wrangling debate, authorized the use of force, including ground operations, against pan-Islamic rocket and mortar attacks emanating from Gaza. Recently, an Israeli man was killed in a rocket attacks while dozens of rockets have damaged property and caused minor injuries throughout the area around Gaza.

Meanwhile, as Jewish citizens seek to build homes on their own land, the Obama Administratoin, continuing to demonstrate its sympathies with the an-Islamic forces, railed against Israel calling new building in so-called "occupied" territory "unproductive". (NOTE: Judea and Samaria are considered to be "occupied" by Jews, when in fact the Arabs are the occupiers.)

The Obama Administration is seeking to suppress any Israeli counter-strike against Iran, despite Iran's efforts to become a nuclear power and despite its promises to "wipe Israel off the map." It is apparent that President Obama secretly harbors a deep-seated hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that he is afraid, if discovered, will result in a loss of support by the Jewish community who continue, despite the anti-Semitic nature of the Democrat Party, to support Democrats.

All signs have been pointing to a potential Israeli first strike, however the division of the Israeli polity by their leftist elements who are more concerned with hand-outs and who are willing to surrender Judea and Samaria in a bid to win peace (the "land for peace" agenda), is undermining the Government's efforts. Leftists are opposed to any pre-emptive strike fearing further retaliation by their Arab neighbors.
Even so, it is considered highly possible that the Israeli government which, despite the loud left, enjoy a majority support, will feel compelled to strike at Iran before it is too late.

Rumors abound that the US and the UK are pondering military action as well, however the latent anti-Semitism of the US President makes this highly improbable.

GOP JOBS BILL short on Dollar

GOP JOBS BILL

The New York Sun had an interesting take on the GOP jobs bill that most media outlets, even “new media”, are not addressing at all.  What is the underlying issue behind America’s faultering economy?  What is the devil underneath the surface that is causing American jobs to go overseas?  What is the 800 pound gorilla in the room that NO ONE sees, the one that is tearing up American enterprise and building up Chinese economic war machines with all their yuen-subsidized guns pointed RIGHT at Wall Street (maybe they’ll miss and hit OCCUPY WALL STREET)?

The answer of course, and I know you all know this, is the weak dollar.  And why is the dollar so weak?  Well….read on my friend..read on..

 

The Hole in the GOP Jobs Plan

Editorial of The New York Sun | October 14, 2011

 

It’s encouraging to see the Republicans put forth a jobs bill, but — confound it — the measure as outlined by Senators Portman, DeMint, Paul, Jordan, and McCain is missing an essential element. This is sound money, the lack of which is emerging as a central cause of America’s current travail. The failure of the GOP jobs bill to address this point is all the more troubling, because leaders like Messr. DeMint and Dr. Paul understand so clearly the monetary issue, as they made clear when, earlier this year, they introduced a bill known as the Sound Money Promotion Act, which this newspaper was the first to endorse.

RESIST THE OCCUPIERS!

What are you all doing about these “Occupiers” as I like to call them?
The following is our approach, anyone here is more than welcome to take this idea and use it for your own group or effort….

IT’S TIME TO RESIST THE OCCUPIERS!

America is under siege, socialist revolutionaries and their paid cadres are taking to the streets in a mad bid to end freedom as we know it and, once and for all, eliminate the free market! THIS IS NO JOKE and it is NOT A DRILL: they mean what they say and they say what they mean.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

We know from the Bible, a book sacred to our Founders but despised by the Occupiers, not to “return evil for evil”, so while they threaten to use violence against American patriots simply because they are successful, we need to SHOW UP in LARGE NUMBERS and show them how PEACEFUL Americans resist occupation of this nation by foreign and alien ideas that have their root in the writing of dead tyrants!

The Occupiers want to drag Americans, kicking and screaming if need be, BACK to the bad old days of the all-power socialist workers’ paradise that so many of us stood against during the Cold War. Their anachronistic slogans and Marxist-sounding rhetoric about “equality” at the point of a gun have not gone un-noticed by thoughtful Americans who embrace The Declaration of Independence and the Constititution over Mao Tse Tung or Hugo Chavez, or even Roseann Barr and Nancy Pelosi.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO STAND UP to the Occupiers?

We need to get organized and link arms QUICKLY with every freedom loving Amercian we can find to STAND UP and SHOW UP in these cities targeted by the OCCUPIERS to demonstrate that there are more of us, who love America and the values that made this nation great then those who hate America and want to impose the foreign and alien ideas of the OCCUPIERS on us all!

WILL YOU HELP?

Volunteers are needed NOW to help promote the FREEDOM alternative to the OCCUPIERS, the “RESIST THE OCCUPIERS” Project.

Our aim is to enable and equip hundreds of thousands of Americans to SHOW UP in every city targeted by the OCCUPIERS and JUST SAY NO TO SOCIALISM!

We need to see AMERICAN FLAGS not the flags of socialism organizations and REAL Americans, not the rent-a-revolutionaries or the Soros foundation, in ALL of these cities and NOW!

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

  1. SIGN UP to be a volunteer organizer in your city or community to RESIST THE OCCUPIERS

  2. Volunteer to use social media to urge freedom-minded groups and individuals to take similar action

  3. Laiason with us if you are a member of a group that is organizing a RESIST THE OCCUPIERS activity or event

WE MUST RESIST THE OCCUPIERS and we need to take action NOW!

Democracy Denied- Phil Kerpen’s war against Obama Czarocracy and the regulatory war against American Freedom

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is a must-read for everyone who values our nation’s bedrock principles. What Obama is trying to unilaterally impose on the American people is nothing short of regulatory tyranny. Phil Kerpen breaks down the Obama administration’s regulatory onslaught and shows those of us who love the Constitution what we can do about it.”
Mark Levin, bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host

“Phil Kerpen offers both a warning and a lesson about a radical minority and its concerted efforts to control the lives and voices of all Americans. Democracy Denied is a literal guidebook on the progressive game plan—now it’s up to us to heed the warning.”
Glenn Beck, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Democracy Denied demonstrates how President Obama is packing federal agencies with handpicked liberal activists who are rewarding campaign allies, punishing opponents, and pushing the failed Keynesian fiscal policies Americans rejected at the ballot box in 2010. Phil Kerpen’s must-read book provides much-needed solutions to the unaccountable bureaucrats who seek to control what cars we drive, the foods we eat, and even the lights we use.”
—U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina)

“Obama is on a mission—to conceal his socialist record behind a veil of moderation. Phil Kerpen pierces that veil and shows the Obama beneath. He has broken the Obama code.”
Dick Morris, Fox News contributor

“President Obama has sought from day one to bypass elected representatives in Congress and impose his liberal agenda by regulatory fiat. This unchecked regulatory assault is draining the lifeblood from our economy and eroding our liberties. Phil Kerpen’s book is an excellent tool for anyone seeking to understand the consequences of regulatory tyranny and the story of the REINS Act—the most important reform that, if passed, will restore accountability and balance to the regulatory process.”
—U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky)

“You know Team Obama is up to no good, but you don’t even know the half of it. Phil Kerpen takes you inside all the back rooms and back doors that these left-wing power-grabbers have used to subvert the will of the people—and trample the rule of law. Democracy Denied exposes you to the true size and scope of the Obama regulatory Leviathan. Kerpen’s comprehensive research will make your blood boil and stir you to action.”
Michelle Malkin, Fox News contributor and bestselling author of Culture of Corruption

“The American people are the most innovative in the world, but they are being held back by the Obama administration’s extreme regulatory agenda. Phil Kerpen cuts to the heart of this problem and shows us the path forward.”
—U.S. Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana)

“Federal regulations have the slippery tentacles of an octopus strangling businesses, families, and workers. Democracy Denied exposes the threats to economic freedom from Barack Obama’s gang of unelected regulatory zealots.”
Stephen Moore, senior economics writer and editorial board member at The Wall Street Journal

“The Obama socialist juggernaut is attempting to ride roughshod over the will of the people, skirt existing laws, and sideswipe the Constitution. In Democracy Denied, Phil Kerpen masterfully articulates the challenges we face, and, most importantly, provides common sense solutions and strategies you need to know.”
Jerry Doyle, nationally syndicated radio host

“As an elected city official, I have seen firsthand how the federal regulatory racket hurts local governments, citizens, and businesses. Phil Kerpen does an excellent job exposing abuses and offering constructive solutions to rein in the autocracy of unelected regulators.”
Erick Erickson, Editor of RedState.com

“Phil Kerpen has accomplished the impossible: he’s given us a rousing polemic against President Barack Obama without being polemical. He exposes Obama’s hidden agendas with take-no-prisoners investigative spadework instead of conspiracy-theory guesswork. And he shows us from the forefront of the battle how to stop Obama with no-nonsense legislative and political strategies that any citizen can help with.”
Ron Arnold, Executive Vice President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, and bestselling author of EcoTerror

Product Description

Democracy Denied by Americans for Prosperity vice president Phil Kerpen is a guide to understanding and defeating the radical agenda that President Barack Obama is implementing by unilateral regulatory action through his agencies and czars.

Democracy Denied exposes the Obama administration’s agenda that disregards the American people, Congress, and the U.S. Constitution–and offers a plan of action to stop it.

Stealing Your Medical Records For Profit and Political Gain- The Epic Systems Scandal

Judy Faulkner's EPIC FAIL!

Epic Systems doesn’t seem to care if your doctor and your surgeon can communicate about your medical history in an emergency- what they want is a monopoly strangelhold (worth BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars) over ALL medical records (thanks to a new rule being pushed by the Obama Administration and they’ll get it unless Congress stops them! CONTACT CONGRESSMAN ISSA ABOUT THIS NOW, ask him to investigate Epic Systems!

Judy Faulkner could gain a near monopoly over the entire “Health IT” sector through the leveraging of her insider political status with ruthless practices designed to give her company an unfair and unethical advantage in the marketplace. Faulkner, who owns Epic Systems, is getting paid by US Taxpayers to control digital access to hundreds of thousands of US citizens’ medical records and could soon control millions upon millions of medical records and get BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars.

This is theft by regulatory fiat and by insider politics, crony socialism at its worse.

CONTACT CONGRESSMAN ISSA ABOUT THIS NOW, ask him to investigate Epic Systems!

Judy Faulkner is a hyper partisan and big donor to ultra Progressive causes. In the past she has even called for virtual boycotts of businesses that supported other political causes or candidates and has even pulled contracts with providers for purely political reasons.

Judy Faulkner's EPIC FAIL!

Faulkner sees no problem, for instance, in being named to a panel that is in charge of handing out contracts to companies that provide digital record-keeping services while getting many of the best contracts herself.

What is more, Faulkner is supposed to be on this panel to provide expertise on something called interoperability. In a nutshell, that means that the government wants to ensure that different providers who NEED to see your medical records can access them easily, even if they all use different software platforms. The problem is that Faulkner’s company, Epic systems, sells a software platform that does not communicate with other software platforms.

In other words, if your doctor uses Epic Systems and your surgeon doesn’t they can’t share your information digitally in an emergency!

So why did Faulkner get named to a panel that is supposed to promote such “interoperability” when her company is the only major player in its field that explicitly, and ruthlessly, refuses to let its platform “talk” to other platforms?

The answer is simple: Faulkner is a big Obama supporter and fundraiser and has inside connections with the Obama administration.

In what amounts to a bad case of doublespeak, Faulkner is being asked to oversee the implementation of a policy goal, interoperability, that her company singularly refuses to participate in. This would be like having a KKK member being named to a panel that is supposed to promote the end of race-based separatism and discrimination.

What we see in Epic Systems is a dangerous mix of partisan extremism, and no doubt if they control your medical records they will not hesitate to use that power in partisan ways we can’t even imagine, while getting billions in taxpayer dollars, giving hundreds of millions back to Progressive political causes to finance more of the same kind of crony socialism.

body

Rumors abound that Faulkner and Epic Systems will get the contract if a new rule requiring that ALL medical records be shared with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).Under this rule the federal government would require that insurance companies submit detailed health care information about their patients. (The rule is available online at gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-07-15/pdf/2011-17609.pdf)If Faulkner gets the contract to manage these records, which is a distinct possibility, then EVERY healthcare provider would be forced to use Epic Systems because Epic Systems does not let other software programs communicate with its software. The only way to send or receive information to an Epic Systems platform is to use Epic Systems!

Judy Faulkner should be removed from ANY government panel that has to do with Health IT and NO federal contracts should go to a company that refuses to meet interoperability standards.

CONTACT CONGRESSMAN ISSA ABOUT THIS NOW, ask him to investigate Epic Systems!

Crony Socialism Is An Epic Fail For Most Americans

plan-to-pass-bill-FULL
Voters Trust GOP Presidential Candidates On Jobs More Than Obama- After a recent poll claimed that voters trust Obama more than the House Republicans to create jobs, a poll that conveniently left out the Democrats in Congress, comes a new poll that shows a very different picture: GOP candidates Rick Perry and Mitt Romney are more trusted on jobs than Obama. Is crony socialism an epic fail in the eyes of most Americans?

The Quinnipiac poll was conducted from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

In this poll, voters were asked if they approved of the Democrats in Congress and the Republicans, and both scored low numbers at 24 and 23 recent respectively.

Asked about whether they approved of Obama’s handling of the economy and the number who approved is only 32 percent, an all time low. Interestingly, this number itself is buoyed by the Democrats who give him a 66 percent approval. His approval among independents is only 26 percent and among Republicans it is only 4 percent.

When voters were asked to choose between Obama and either Rick Perry or Mitt Romney, Obama loses. Obama loses 45-42 percent to Perry and 49-39 percent against Romney.

A total of 77 percent of voters think the economy will get worse or stay the same if Obama is re-elected and the same number of voters, 77 percent, think the economy is in recession.

Crony socialism, or “stimulus” is not working. In fact, it could even be deadly. As we are reporting, under Obamacare cronies are getting key positions in the implementation process of Obama’s socialiszed medicine plan which, in the case of Judy Faulkner and Epic Systems, could lead to patients’ records NOT being able to accessed by a surgeon who does not use Epic Systems if the doctor does. This story is of vital concern because it involves millions of Americans and BILLIONS of dollars, but so far is being ignored by the media. It is a story that is all too common under the policies of crony socialism.

Meanwhile, House Speaker, John Boehner, posted a graphic showing that “all roads lead to nowhere” for Obama’s stimulus package disguised as a  jobs bill, which the Senate Democrats panned and have since rewritten to try to shore up the number of needed votes. Their new plan is to raise taxes FIRST, then spend MORE money on more of the same programs, many of which are rife with crony socialism, to try to stimulate the economy.

Democracy Denied: How Obama is Ignoring You and Bypassing Congress to Radically Transform America – and How to Stop Him

GET IT NOW!

 “This is a must-read for everyone who values our nation’s bedrock principles. What Obama is trying to unilaterally impose on the American people is nothing short of regulatory tyranny. Phil Kerpen breaks down the Obama administration’s regulatory onslaught and shows those of us who love the Constitution what we can do about it.”
Mark Levin, bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host

“Phil Kerpen offers both a warning and a lesson about a radical minority and its concerted efforts to control the lives and voices of all Americans. Democracy Denied is a literal guidebook on the progressive game plan—now it’s up to us to heed the warning.” Glenn Beck, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Democracy Denied demonstrates how President Obama is packing federal agencies with handpicked liberal activists who are rewarding campaign allies, punishing opponents, and pushing the failed Keynesian fiscal policies Americans rejected at the ballot box in 2010. Phil Kerpen’s must-read book provides much-needed solutions to the unaccountable bureaucrats who seek to control what cars we drive, the foods we eat, and even the lights we use.” —U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina)

“Obama is on a mission—to conceal his socialist record behind a veil of moderation. Phil Kerpen pierces that veil and shows the Obama beneath. He has broken the Obama code.” —Dick Morris, Fox News contributor

“President Obama has sought from day one to bypass elected representatives in Congress and impose his liberal agenda by regulatory fiat. This unchecked regulatory assault is draining the lifeblood from our economy and eroding our liberties. Phil Kerpen’s book is an excellent tool for anyone seeking to understand the consequences of regulatory tyranny and the story of the REINS Act—the most important reform that, if passed, will restore accountability and balance to the regulatory process.” —U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky)

“You know Team Obama is up to no good, but you don’t even know the half of it. Phil Kerpen takes you inside all the back rooms and back doors that these left-wing power-grabbers have used to subvert the will of the people—and trample the rule of law. Democracy Denied exposes you to the true size and scope of the Obama regulatory Leviathan. Kerpen’s comprehensive research will make your blood boil and stir you to action.”
Michelle Malkin, Fox News contributor and bestselling author of Culture of Corruption

“The American people are the most innovative in the world, but they are being held back by the Obama administration’s extreme regulatory agenda. Phil Kerpen cuts to the heart of this problem and shows us the path forward.” —U.S. Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana)

“Federal regulations have the slippery tentacles of an octopus strangling businesses, families, and workers. Democracy Denied exposes the threats to economic freedom from Barack Obama’s gang of unelected regulatory zealots.” —Stephen Moore, senior economics writer and editorial board member at The Wall Street Journal

“The Obama socialist juggernaut is attempting to ride roughshod over the will of the people, skirt existing laws, and sideswipe the Constitution. In Democracy Denied, Phil Kerpen masterfully articulates the challenges we face, and, most importantly, provides common sense solutions and strategies you need to know.” —Jerry Doyle, nationally syndicated radio host

“As an elected city official, I have seen firsthand how the federal regulatory racket hurts local governments, citizens, and businesses. Phil Kerpen does an excellent job exposing abuses and offering constructive solutions to rein in the autocracy of unelected regulators.” —Erick Erickson, Editor of RedState.com

“Phil Kerpen has accomplished the impossible: he’s given us a rousing polemic against President Barack Obama without being polemical. He exposes Obama’s hidden agendas with take-no-prisoners investigative spadework instead of conspiracy-theory guesswork. And he shows us from the forefront of the battle how to stop Obama with no-nonsense legislative and political strategies that any citizen can help with.”
Ron Arnold, Executive Vice President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, and bestselling author of EcoTerror

Crony Socialism Part Three- Meet The Medical Records Czar- Judy

Judy Faulkner Medical Records Czar wants your records and your money

Judy Faulkner Medical Records Czar wants your records and your money

Judy Faulkner, Medical Records Czar and Healthcare IT CEO of Epic Systems wants to control your records to make millions

Written by- The Collier Brothers

Judy Faulkner, Medical Records Czar, Healthcare IT, Obama Czar, Obamacare

It seems like everything comes in threes.

First Obama had the problem with Solyndra.

Then he ran into a buzz-saw with Lightsquared.

It all amounts to an EPIC Fail and “three strikes, you’re out!”

Meet Judy Faulkner. She’s not your average Obama-anointed czar.

Usually they just get a cushy job and the ability to network, which is pretty good while it lasts.

Judy is better than ALL THE REST of Obama’s czars because she doesn’t get the cushy job and a few perks- she is trying to quite literally have an iron-clad monopoly over not only your medical records but potentially over the whole Health IT industry!

WARNING: If it’s medical and has pixels, no matter where it is, Judy the medical records czar is going to OWN it- that is, if she gets her way.

Obama gave her a juicy spot in one of those special ObamaCare central planning committees and what do you know, that committee was tasked with giving government contracts to providers to manage the new requirement that your
medical records be digitized.

The thing is, and perhaps Judy thought nobody would mind, she happens to own the company that is getting a lot of the deals!

Here are a few of the growing list of deals:

http://www.icd10watch.com/headline/u-m-health-system-readies-it-transformation

BUT IT GETS BETTER!

Well, for Judy anyway.

You see her company, we prefer to call it EPIC Fail, because it doesn’t play nice with others  and she doesn’t exactly let her investors know what a true far-left radical she is.

Her company is almost the polar opposite of the political rhetoric she espouses- it is a top-down, profit-driven, and totally closed system that tells doctors and hospitals who are going to be forced to use her services to digitize medical records that they MUST use her software to do so!

That’s right folks, this Obama bundler thinks she’s Microsoft in the bad old days before Microsoft was forced, at the insistence of people on the left an right, to allow for “interoperability.”

Judy the medical records czar is telling companies that the only way to comply with ObamaCare, if SHE has the contract, is to use her expensive software because she refuses to let her precious software “talk” to other software platforms, as is the norm
in that industry.

I wonder if she will write a big fat check out of those monopoly-driven profits to help the government like Warren Buffet wants “the rich” to do?

This is incredible and we are certain that over the next few weeks we will have yet a third crony socialism scandal that will rock the White House, unless of course Judy and her EPIC Fail scheme are quietly sidelined before too many
people notice!

Conor Friedersdorf picks empty theater showing of THE UNDEFEATED Palin Movie- MSM Scam exposed- Freedomist

Conor Friedersdorf
Conor Friedersdorf MSM hit man and palin hater

Conor Friedersdorf MSM hit man and palin hater

Palin Movie, MSM, The Undefeated, The Atlantic, Conor Friedersdorf

Update:  Apparently, there was advanced advertising for this movie on Thursday, July 14th, in the LA TIMES- an obscure listing- one line- and- perhaps someone looking for The Undefeated in Orange County may have allegedly found a listing for 12:45 am.  In the article- Conor says he was going to a 12:45 am showing, but the ad lists the time as 12:01 am.  Perhaps Conor may not be in collusion with a movie theater manager, but why, if he wanted to interview Palin Supporters, would he go a midnight showing that was barely advertised?  We stick by our story that this was a rigged MSM event perpetrated by Conor Friedersdorf for the sole purpose of discrediting the movie’s weekend release and even Sarah Palin herself.  Here is the story as we originally published it, along with a screenshot of the obscure listing for the movie:

Secret Showing of The Undefeated For Lone Reporter?
William Collier

Palin Movie- The Undefeated- meets MSM ploy to report an ‘empty theater’ at midnight, the night before the opening?

Did Conor Friedersdorf from The Atlantic arrange to have a secret showing of “The Palin Movie, The Undefeated” just so he could say “the theater was empty”?

Keywords- Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin movie, Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic, Orange California, The Undefeated movie, The Undefeated

Conor Friedersdorf stages empty theater showing of THE UNDEFEATED- Paul Collier

Following up on a story THE FREEDOMIST broke a couple of hours ago, we have learned that THE ATLANTIC’s Conor Friedersdorf may have done more than inadvertently stumble into an empty movie theater in Orange CA that had unilaterally decided to run a midnight showing of THE UNDEFEATED.

The facts seem to show that the only way Conor Friedersdorf could have found that showing of THE UNDEFEATED is if someone from inside the movie theater, someone who must have arranged for this ‘special’ midnight showing, had called and let him know where to be so that he could find an ‘empty theater’ and write his story, his hit piece in an attempt to stop the Palin Movie, The Undefeated, from being seen.

If this was Florida, Conor might be able to convince 12 people that he is a real journalist, but this is not Florida and we find it hard to believe his intentions were “journalistic.’

The Palin Movie, THE UNDEFEATED, was shown in The Block, Orange CA Movie Theater, at 12:45 am to an empty house.  There was no advertising for this showing.  The movie listing time was not listed on any AMC movie theater web site.  The Block was showing two Harry Potter movies at midnight and the movie theater manager allegedly just decided it would be a good idea to also show THE UNDEFEATED

Here is information about this movie theater:

AMC 30 At the Block Showtimes

20 City Blvd. West, Building E, Orange, CA 92868  | (888) 262-4386

If you go to Moviefone’s listing of showtimes for this movie theater you won’t find the movie, THE UNDEFEATED, listed at all.

If you go to YELP- you will not find the movie, THE UNDEFEATED, listed at all.  Instead, you’ll find these listings:

Now Playing: A Better Life, Bad Teacher, Bridesmaids, Cars 2 in Disney Digital 3D, Cars 2, Green Lantern 3D, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 3D, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2: An IMAX 3D Experience, Horrible Bosses

 

Here are the times listed for today’s opening of THE UNDEFEATED at The Block listed on movietickets.com:

The Undefeated: Sarah Palin Documentary NEW

Digital Presentation; AMC INDEPERated (PG-13) • 1 hr. 53 min.

BUY TICKETS10:15am,  1:10pm,  4:05pm,  7:00pm,  9:55pm,  12:45am

There are no midnight showings listed.

THE FREEDOMIST is part of Kross Publishing, a web marketing company that happens to be working on THE UNDEFEATED.  As such, we have access to inside marketing information that shows NO PLANS for any midnight showings of THE UNDEFEATED, nor any reports made by ANY theater that such a showing would take place.  Furthermore, had a movie theater suggesteda midnight showing, they would be been urged to stick to the marketing roll-out plan.

We have seen ALL of the pre-release plans and schedules, every theater listed the times and days in advance for the showings so that the marketing team would be able to promote the movie. NO showing for Orange CA at this time was EVER scheduled or announced, ever, to anyone.

It seems clear, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this midnight showing had only one person and one person only as its targeted audience, Conor Friedersdorf. Some may doubt this and chalk it all up to conincidence, and we want to be charitable, but it gets harder to believe as you look at the actual facts.

From his MSM hit piece:

When the clock struck 12:01 am today, AMC theaters in select cities were permitted to start showing “The Undefeated,” a feature length documentary about Sarah Palin. As it happens, I’m visiting my parents in Orange County, Calif., home to one of just 10 theaters where the film is being rolled out. Watching it didn’t interest me so much as going to interview folks who decided to attend. I figured I’d meet some nice people, perhaps run into someone who knows my grandparents, press five or six Palin fans on why they like her, and convey their worldview. It’s my experience that the grassroots doesn’t fit the caricature of its champions or its detractors.

This paragraph makes him seem neutral, even magnanimous, prepared to show up to an unadvertised movie that was shown at a time that the movie producers and the marketing team for THE UNDEFEATED would not have approved, to cover the wonderful Palin supporters.

The opening statement, that AMC theaters were permitted to show THE UNDEFEATED starting at midnight is not entirely accurate.   Theaters CAN do this, but it’s not generally done and certainly not without giving a heads-up to the marketing team who would need to include that information on their advertising.

Think about this- you manage a theater, you want to make money. Do you suddenly put up a political documentary, without any announcement or notice to the public, during a midnight showing of Harry Potter and expect that if people can’t see HarryPotter that they’ll pony up for the political documentary? Either that manager had a little “sumtin sumtim” going on with Conor or he is the world’s dumbest theater manager. Either way, perhaps he needs to find a new line of work.

Actually, the idea that ANYONE, other than perhaps the theater manager and this reporter, would have any reason to think there was a showing at this time is simply a lie perpetrated by the  MSM’s latest Palin Hate Propagandist, Conor Friedersdorf.

Anyone who knows anything about movie marketing will realize the fallacy immediately.  The strategy for rolling out a film, especially an independent film, is to run it in select theaters at SELECT TIMES to target those cities AND TIMES for advanced ticket sales.  Early full theaters are big when you roll out a movie.  So why would the marketers of THE UNDEFEATED ever allow an unadvertised, untargeted movie time to occur?  The answer is, of course, they wouldn’t.

What is more, much weight is put on the “per showing” numbers for new releases. This theater’s manager virtually ensured that, because this showing was not known to anyone, those numbers would be artificially depressed. The manager has a LOT of explaining to do and his excuse that he “just decided” to run a political documentary during a midnight showing of Harry Potter, which WAS advertised, either indicates he is a bad manager or that he and the reporter had a little payola thing going on.

That horse has been beat to death, and deservedlly so!

What we want to know for sure is this: is Conor Friedersdorf working in collusion with someone in THE BLOCK at Orange CA, perhaps a movie theater manager, and if not, HOW did he know about this movie?

What incentive would a movie theater manager have to run a movie at midnight that had no advertising and that no one, except for a reporter from The Atlantic (with a history of running Palin Hate pieces for The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, and other far left agents of hate)?

Perhaps they were friends, perhaps other compensations were involved or perhaps the manager is not really good at doing his job.  Did Conor Friedersdorf pay off a movie manager to run THE UNDEFEATED to an empty house just so he could get a story out before any theater opened today?

Conor attended the film at 12:45 am PST- that would be 3:45 am EST, the movie ended two hours later.  he says he stayed until the end, although a true Palin hater could not stomache seeing the truth of a courageous woman who was fighting against the elite classes this Conor Friedersdorf seem to champion every day.  (The movie wasn’t made for the likes of Conor anwyay). That would mean he got out of the film at 5:45  am EST.  He would have to drive home, a time that, with California Traffic, and navigating through all the Harry Potter people, could take no less than, say, 30 minutes.  This means he gets home around 6:30 am EST- 3:30 am PST.

Our dedicated propagandist hit man, Conor Friedersdorf, then proceeds to rush to the warm glow of his sniper rifle, his computer, and taps out his big sensational headline- Sarah Palin Movie Debuts to Empty Theater in Orange County- which is posted on THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY’s website at 7:52 am EST, less than 3 hours after he got home.

We are impressed that it took Conor only around an hour to write this progressive assassination puff piece, our dedicated journolist thug stayed up until 4:52 am to rush to get this story out before the first showings of THE UNDEFEATED, trying to create the narrative for the day, which runs something like this- “Palin movie flops, Can Sarah really run in 2012″?

THE FREEDOMIST has emailed Conor Friedersdorf and asked him how he came to know about a 12:45 am PST showing of THE UNDEFEATED at THE BLOCK, Orange, CA.  He hasn’t responded.

Who is Conor Friedersdorf, and why do we call him a Journolist hit man?  Here is why:

Here is the Tweet Conor Friedersdorf sent about 4 hours after he went to this bogus showing of The Undefeated:

I went to the Orange County premier of the Sarah Palin movie… and I’m the only one who showed up! http://bit.ly/qDT3eN Is Palin over?

This tweet tells the real impetus behind this MSM hoax, to derail THE UNDEFEATED and, they believe, derail the Palin 2012 run before it ever begins.  He might as well be on the Obama payroll.  Let’s learn more about this fine paradigm of journalism:

Here are a couple excerpts from articles he published in the past on Sarah Palin.  From them, you will see that he is, in point of fact, a Palin hit man par excellent:

from Sarah Palin and the Tea Partiers

Sarah Palin spent campaign 2008 talking about how wonderful John McCain is. If she really believes this, why doesn’t it worry Tea Partiers who hate John McCain? If she doesn’t really believe that McCain would make a good president, doesn’t it bother them that she campaigned for him, and especially that now, when the White House isn’t at stake, she continues to campaign for him?

Either Sarah Palin is a John McCain loving Republican or she is a liar.

Neither of those traits are generally acceptable to Tea Partiers.

Yet they love Sarah Palin.

_______________________

from Attacking Sarah Palin from the Right

Is Sarah Palin launching a presidential bid? Just trying to gin up publicity one last time before she fades from the scene? Is the Arizona home she just bought actually the first step in a future run for that state’s governorship? Did John McCain tip her off that he’s eventually going to retire so that she could establish residency and be appointed to his vacant seat by Gov. Jan Brewer?

Or maybe she’s just hoping to co-star in the ultimate right-wing reality TV show with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Savvy at times, inexplicably erratic at others, it’s impossible to predict if Palin is going to keep earning money as a bi-coastal media elite or enter the GOP primary. Should she run, however, the most interesting aspect of it will be the way she attacks her fellow Republicans, and how they attack her back. She’s too feisty to keep Reagan’s 11th Commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” But neither have we seen the former Alaska governor in a competitive primary with members of her own party. Is the conservative media complex going to have her back or work to undermine her? How will her fans react to it all?

________________________________________________________________

 

Sarah Palin’s Media Mafia

How could Palin blame the press for her demise when she owes her meteoric rise to Rush, Bill, and others in the conservative media elite?

 

In his monthly Washington Post column, Bill Kristol writes that due to “psychological and sociological reasons too deep for me to grasp, a good chunk of elite America hates Sarah Palin.” Coastal-dwelling multimillionaire Rush Limbaugh agrees. Reached on his six-city golfing vacation, the nationally syndicated talk-radio host noted, “When you have so many establishment types—inside-the-Beltway, elite, establishment types, Republican, Democratic, it doesn’t matter—so eager to destroy this woman, it means they’re scared to death of her.”

Isn’t it actually the case that a good chunk of elite America loves Sarah Palin, or at least is willing to lend rhetorical and financial support to her? Why pretend otherwise?

Their remarks are partly correct: Many elite Americans do fear the prospect of a Sarah Palin presidency. Being elites themselves, however, Messrs. Kristol and Limbaugh should see the flaw in the “elites versus Sarah” narrative they’re helping to shape. It ignores all the rich, famous, powerful individuals who helped orchestrate the Alaska governor’s rise to national prominence, lauded her thin qualifications as brashly as anyone criticized her, and persist in casting her as a victim rather than an erratic, flawed politician.

- Guestpost by Patrick -

Up until a year ago, nobody had ever heard about “Babygate”. Then, in September 2008, Audrey started blogging with “Palin’s Deceptions” and single-handedly, as a lone blogger, started the discussion going about an issue which has since then grown and inspired the creation of many other blogs. The “Babygate” discussion is still as relevant today as it was at the very beginning and there are very good reasons for this.

Secret Showing of The Undefeated For Lone Reporter?
William Collier

Palin Movie- The Undefeated- meets MSM ploy to report an ‘empty theater’ at midnight, the night before the opening?

Did Conor Friedersdorf from The Atlantic arrange to have a secret showing of “The Palin Movie, The Undefeated” just so he could say “the theater was empty”?

Keywords- Sarah Palin, Sarah Palin movie, Conor Friedersdorf, The Atlantic, Orange California, The Undefeated movie, The Undefeated

Orange California seems to have jumped the gun on The Undefeated movie, which debuts today in 10 cities in the US, with a special midnight showing for a a reporter from The Atlantic.

Conor Friedersdorf wrote breathlessly about an “empty theater” for a “debut.” The progressive journolist may have been told about such a showing but we know that nobody knew anything about it.

How did we know?

Our company, Kross Publishing, has been engaged in online marketing support and mobilizing a group of on the ground Hosts and virtual Ambassadors, and there has never been any mention of or advertising for any midnight showing.

The open question is: how did this reporter, Conor Friedersdorf, KNOW about this totally un-advertised showing that our company, which is working on marketing for the film, did not know about?

Movie theaters CAN show a movie like this, without notice, and if advanced ticket sales are high or decent, they might use an extra screen for a showing that is not scheduled. In this case the theater chose to do that, but on the same night of the big debut of Harry Potter: hardly an auspicious time for a movie that has a niche audience as opposed to a large general audience.

How then was everyone surprised about this showing save a lefty reporter?

It is possible, as one of our staff suggested, that the theater manager and the reporter are buddies, or someone inside the theater knew the reporter. It is also possible that Conor Friedersdorf, lefty that he is, knows that theaters can sometimes do a midnight showing and that he watched online until he saw this suddenly open up and decided, instead of covering the official debut, that he would call an unscheduled, un-advertised midnight showing the “debut” and use that to smear the movie.

Perhaps he thought he would win a Pulitzer for his little stunt, but anyone with any kind of horse sense knows that you don’t choose an unscheduled, un-advertised showing of a movie not scheduled to debut until later in the day (the official evening showing today, Friday July 15, 2011) to, as he claimed, “interview” attendees.

Conor did not want to interview attendees, otherwise he would have chosen a time that was advertised, not an unscheduled, un-advertised midnight showing.

This reporter’s cute little stunt goes right to the heart of what the movie is about- the blatant attempts by the journolist media elites to impugn, smear, and destroy anyone who does not go along with their Progressive ideology.

You may not want to vote for Sarah Palin, but this little episode reveals why Palin supporters and conservatives in general want to see this movie- for here is laid bare the media’s ongoing war against the freedom of conservatives, Christians, and non-Progressives through the very same types of stunts pulled by this Conor character.

Tickets for the movie are available here- http://theundefeated.cinedigm.com/tickets.html

The purpose of Conor’s report is clear- he was fishing for the headline he wanted to write, i.e. “Sarah Palin Movie Debuts to Empty Theater in Orange County.”

Perhaps the real headline should read, “The Atlantic Covers Unadvertised, Unscheduled Movie Showing As Debut.”

This just in- on the day before The Atlantic hit the stands there were no sales for that issue!

Commerce Department’s U.S. Census Bureau Announces Management and Structural Reforms that will Improve Efficiency and Cut Costs

Today, the Commerce Department’s U.S. Census Bureau announced the first realignment of its national field office structure in 50 years and management reforms that will improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance data quality. The changes will take place gradually over the next 18 months and reduce the number of regional offices from 12 to six, saving an estimated $15 million to $18 million annually beginning in 2014. 

Increasing efficiency, cutting waste and reforming Washington has been a priority for the Obama Administration since day one, and this consolidation supports the administration’s ongoing effort to make government more efficient, effective

Fox News’ Twitter Account Hacked, Reports Obama Assassination …

Early Monday morning the followers of Fox News’ political Twitter Account, @foxnewspolitics, were hit with a series of jarring tweets that reported the assassination of President Barack Obama. That particular Twitter account has over 38,000 followers.

At around midnight some people noticed that the account’s logo had been changed to an SK logo and the bio information had been changed to read “H4CK3D BY TH3 5CR1PT K1DD3S.” That stayed that way for just a short time before tweets began rolling out saying that Obama was dead.

Obama takes charge of debt talks

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The White House Monday accused Republicans of siding with billionaires and private jet owners, as President Barack Obama waded into political talks designed to avert a “calamitous” US debt default.

Obama met the top Democrat in the Senate and his minority Republican counterpart, seeking to unpick a deadlock over his call on lawmakers to lift the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling by an August 2 deadline.

As political tensions rose, the White House warned of “calamitous” consequences to the global economy if the talks do not seal an agreement and Washington is forced into default and runs out of money

    Republican Pawlenty assails Obama on Middle East

    NEW YORK — Republican White House hopeful Tim Pawlenty charged Tuesday that President Barack Obama has mishandled the “Arab Spring” and that prospects for Middle East peace have dimmed on the Democrat’s watch.

    “Israeli-Palestinian peace is further away now than the day Barack Obama came to office,” the former Minnesota governor said in excerpts of what aides billed as a major foreign policy speech to be delivered in New York.

    Defense of Marriage Act and the Tax Code

    www.projectshiningcity.org

    Since Obama has decided to not defend the Defense of Marriage Act, a lesbian is suing the government to not have to pay taxes on her deceased lover’s estate. I could almost kiss her (if she’d let me) because she has shown what Obama’s utopian ideas of saying everyone can be married would involve – a loss of many millions to the IRS while both the US and Obama need the money in the Treasury. Libs love gay rights – but they may love people paying more to Uncle Sam even more than that. This is what you get when you hire a community organizer with no planning skills or real world skills.

    Remember those news stories you’ve seen in the papers about old ladies that leave their fortune to their cat or dog? Now the cat or dog can claim survivor spouse benefits under Social Security and the IRS laws! You may have heard of a “Boston Marriage.” This would be a Boston Terrier Marriage!

    Obama administration officials are putting together a team of ‘mystery shoppers’ to pose as patients, call doctors’ offices and request appointments to see how difficult it is for people to get care when they need it.

    The move follows increasing alarm over the shortage of primary care doctors.

    The administration says the survey will address the shortage and try to discover whether doctors are accepting patients with private insurance while turning away those in government health programmes that pay lower reimbursement rates.
