				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><p><a href="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/progressive-tea-party.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93885" title="progressive tea party" src="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/progressive-tea-party.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="158" /></a>Bill Collier- Under Progressivism the model of governance is based on a leadership philosophy that says &#8220;authority flows from the center and responsibility flows to the center.&#8221;</p>
<p>Decisions are made at the central point and lower level authorities carry them out until the regulations and rules are given to the individual. This may involve a majority vote by the populace, but even then the choices given to the population are limited by the leaders at the core through clever messaging, political correctness, and efforts to demonize anyone who doesn&#8217;t buy the party line.</p>
<p>Responsibility, on the other hand, goes from individuals who answer to the first outermost circle of petty officials and from them towards the next inner circle so that, ultimately, everyone is responsible to the central authority for their choices and actions.</p>
<p>Why do the Progressive spend so much, tax so much, print so much paper currency, make so many laws, create so many swarms of officials and agencies, and have so many complicated regulations, while saying they are &#8220;for the People&#8221;? The answer is simple- their leadership philosophy leaves them with no alternative but to originate authority over everyone from the center and to make everyone responsible towards the center.</p>
<p>They do not consider that they are making private people, private businesses, free associations of private people, and local communities all responsible to the government while removing government from any real accountability to the People who the Progressive say they champion.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all bread and circuses and empty promises- they take your wealth, your independence, your liberty, and then your very dignity leaving you with grinding poverty and no answers other than to blame an innocent scapegoat.</p>

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.”<br />
—<strong>Mark Levin</strong>, bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio host</a>“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. <em>Democracy Denied</em> is a literal guidebook on the progressive game plan—now it’s up to us to heed the warning.”<br />
—<strong>Glenn Beck</strong>, #1 <em>New York Times</em>bestselling author“<em>Democracy Denied</em> 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.”<br />
—U.S. Senator <strong>Jim DeMint</strong> (R-South Carolina)</p>
<p>“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.”<br />
—<strong>Dick Morris</strong>, Fox News contributor</p>
<p>“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.”<br />
—U.S. Senator <strong>Rand Paul</strong> (R-Kentucky)</p>
<p>“You know Team Obama is up to no good, but you don’t even know the half of it. Phil Kerpen takes you inside <em>all</em> 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. <em>Democracy Denied</em> 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.”<br />
—<strong>Michelle Malkin</strong>, Fox News contributor and bestselling author of <em>Culture of Corruption</em></p>
<p>“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.”<br />
—U.S. Representative <strong>Mike Pence</strong> (R-Indiana)</p>
<p>“Federal regulations have the slippery tentacles of an octopus strangling businesses, families, and workers. <em>Democracy Denied</em> exposes the threats to economic freedom from Barack Obama’s gang of unelected regulatory zealots.”<br />
—<strong>Stephen Moore</strong>, senior economics writer and editorial board member at <em>The Wall Street Journal</em></p>
<p>“The Obama socialist juggernaut is attempting to ride roughshod over the will of the people, skirt existing laws, and sideswipe the Constitution. In <em>Democracy Denied</em>, Phil Kerpen masterfully articulates the challenges we face, and, most importantly, provides common sense solutions and strategies you need to know.”<br />
—<strong>Jerry Doyle</strong>, nationally syndicated radio host</p>
<p>“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.”<br />
—<strong>Erick Erickson</strong>, Editor of RedState.com</p>
<p>“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.”<br />
—<strong>Ron Arnold</strong>, Executive Vice President of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise, and bestselling author of <em>EcoTerror</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><p style="text-align: left;">How Hilary Clinton&#8217;s attempt to kill the Benghazi cover up will fail- Paul Collier</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Did Hilary Clinton just fall on her sword and end the Benghazi affair for President Obama or did she just crystalize the emerging controversy behind the actions of this government under President Obama before and after a US Official, an Ambassador, was murdered on the streets of Benghazi?  No- Because the issue is not about security before the conquering of American soil by foreign invaders that led to the murder of a US Ambassador and our brave elite warriors.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">You see, the issue is about a President who sent his men and women out into the world, and went out himself, before America and even the world at the UN, to lie about what happened to our consulate in Benghazi for the sake of protecting his undeserved reputation for being an effective Al Qaeda Killer, the Bin Laden Slayer, whose policies are creating an environment that has allowed Al Qaeda to re-emerge as a major threat to American security and Freedom both abroad and here at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The MSM and even the blogosphere is alive with songs of &#8216;the wheels on the bus go round and round&#8217;, but I say, not so fast friends, family, and neighbors.  Hilary Clinton did NOT fall on her sword.  Hilary Clinton is NOT setting herself up for a new bus-tire inspired look.  Rather, she is seeking to deflect blame to a faceless, unnamable source, &#8216;the security experts&#8217;.  In her statement tonight where everyone is claiming she is falling on her sword, here is the key sentence that everything can be reduced to- &#8220;The decisions about security are made by security professionals&#8221;<br />
Read more: <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/15/clinton-takes-responsibility-for-consulate-security-blames-confusion-on-fog-war/#ixzz29Qdgx53V">http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/15/clinton-takes-responsibility-for-consulate-security-blames-confusion-on-fog-war/#ixzz29Qdgx53V</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Even when pushed on the June bombings to the Benghazi consulate, Hilary Clinton returns to that same refrain, saying &#8220;It was taken into account by security professionals as they made their  assessments.&#8221;  If you are a security professional working at the State Department, dust off your old resume, or better yet, lawyer up, because Hilary Clinton has just set a world of scrutiny your way, legal and otherwise.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now, Hilary Clinton is really only dealing with one issue, the before.  She is not at all addressing the after.  Here&#8217;s what we know-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The attacks happened September 11th.  The State Department was in communication with the consulate while it was under attack.   By September 25th, it would have been clear to any President who called upon the people within the State Department that the murder of the US Ambassador was not in response to a video, but a coordinated military operation by Al Qaeda in response to the recent death of their Libyan Al Qaeda leader.  Yet, this is what President Obama said to the UN on September 2th (the whole video is at the end)-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;And that is what we saw play out in the last two weeks, where a crude and  disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world.  Now, I have  made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this  video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common  humanity.  It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as  well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">For as the city outside these walls makes clear, we are a country that has  welcomed people of every race and every faith.  We are home to Muslims who  worship across our country. We not only respect the freedom of religion, we have  laws that protect individuals from being harmed because of how they look or what  they believe.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We understand why people take offense to this video because millions of our  citizens are among them.  I know there are some who ask why don&#8217;t we   just ban such a video.  The answer is enshrined in our laws.   Our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">President Obama is still, at this point, 14 days after the attack, pushing the narrative that the murder of our US Ambassador was a result of a vulgar, anti-islamic video.  This is a better narrative than one that undermines one of the central planks of his re-election  campaign, he is the Al Qaeda killer, the man who killed Bin Laden, the man who is defeating our enemies.  The truth reveals this narrative is false.  His strategies are allowing the resurgence and re-emergence of Al Qaeda as a threat to America around the world and even at home.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I could really stop at this point.  The UN Speech is that damning to Obama&#8217;s credibilty as a transparent President.  The truth of the Benghazi attacks undermines that ill-gotten reputation of the President we call the Al Qaeda Killer, the Bin Laden Slayer- but do let&#8217;s continue on to drive the point home beyond a shadow so without doubt that even the MSM might have to think twice about completely trashing what is left of their reputation as being even a patina of a fourth estate in America and walking forward holding the Al Qaeda Killer&#8217;s water any longer-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here is a Visual Summary of everything you have read and will read in the story of the Benghazi Cover Up</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Benghazi-Cover-Up.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-98647" title="Benghazi Cover Up" src="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Benghazi-Cover-Up.png" alt="" width="805" height="489" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">On September 16th, a full 5 days after the murder of our US Ambassador, this administration knowingly sent out a State Department Spokewoman to overtly lie to the American people about what happened to our US Ambassador.  Susan Rice goes out on the talks shows and declares the Egyptian Protests, the murder of our US Ambassador were all reactions, spontaneous reactions to a vulgar anti-islamic movie.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This is a narrative Obama can win with.  He IS the Al Qaeda killer, but he can&#8217;t be expected to stop spontaneous assaults that are born from our own ignorance of producing vulgar, anti-Islamic videos.  But it is a bald faced lie.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Watch for yourself the lie- and ask yourself, is the decision to send out Susan Rice on a talk show lie-a-thon the decision of Hilary Rodham Clinton or would that decision have to be made by Barack Obama?  If it was made by Clinton, why would the President of the United States not know in advance that a spokeperson for his adminstration, speaking to the American people, was about to go on the national talk show circuit, while some Americans were still in church or coming back from church, to lie about the murder of our American Ambassador?<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ma6pMrMOIQ8" frameborder="0" width="247" height="220"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Here was President Obama&#8217;s first response to the Benghazi attacks, with Hilary Clinton by his side, who would have had access to the intelligence her State Department already had, evidence that showed clearly this was a coordinated military action, an action by Al Qaeda to murder our US Ambassador:</p>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Statement by the President on the Attack in Benghazi</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. Right now, the American people have the families of those we lost in our thoughts and prayers. They exemplified America&#8217;s commitment to freedom, justice, and partnership with nations and people around the globe, and stand in stark contrast to those who callously took their lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. W<strong>hile the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>&#8212;</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong></strong>He hasn&#8217;t mentioned the video yet, but he is already setting up the narrative- <em>while the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of</em> others&#8230;..</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The cover-up has already begun.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Listen to him speak, and watch Hilary Clinton beside him-<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3Nu6VZ9DeVc" frameborder="0" width="260" height="199"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In President Obama&#8217;s weekly address on September 15th, now a full 4 days after the murder of our US Ambassador in a military operation perpetrated by Al Qeada, and by now clearly known by operatives within the State Department (and, by extension, Clinton, and, by extension, Obama, unless they are grossly negiligent in not gathering the facts of such a seminol attack on American Sovereignty by a foreign invader), he made these statements-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;This tragic attack takes place at a time of turmoil and protest in many different countries. I have made it clear that the United States has a profound respect for people of all faiths. We stand for religious freedom. And we reject the denigration of any religion – including Islam.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">and then this-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;I know the images on our televisions are disturbing. But let us never forget that for every angry mob, there are millions who yearn for the freedom, and dignity, and hope that our flag represents&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now he is specifically addressing the murder of the US Ambassador, the invasion of American Sovereignty (Consulates are viewed as being the same as the nation&#8217;s sovereign land that holds them) by a foreign enemy.  His narrative on September 15th is one of a spontaneous mob rising up and losing it over a video that these Al Qaeda operatives most likely never saw or knew about.  They were marching in response to a military strike that killed one of their top leaders, not in response to a video.  This was not simply some spontaneous riot that got out of control, it was the demonstrated power of Al Qaeda in terms of being able to invade American lands and coordinating a complex assault that killed 3 of our best warriors and an American Ambassador.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Watch the Weekly address for yourself-<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qnxYIhFfH-4" frameborder="0" width="259" height="124"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Now what did Hilary Clinton effectively do by sort of taking the blame for security, which, as she would say, was a decision left to the &#8216;security experts&#8217;?  Did she sweep away the main controversy of Benghazi?  Is the main controvery the bumbling of the security that left four americans dead and allowed a consulate, American soil, to be bombed, invaded, sacked, siezed, and finally destroyed?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All these are tough issues in and of themselves, but none of them rise to the seriousness of lying, overtly, to the American people about the nature of an attack against American Sovereignty and the murder of an American Ambassador and our great Navy Seals.  For that, there can only be one buck stop, and that  is the desk of President Barack Obama, who stood beside the woman who clearly knew the truth of the attacks on September 12th, who repeated the lies on September 15th in an address to the American people, who sent out a representative, Susan Rice, to the Sunday talk shows to repeat the lie, and who stood before the United Nations lying to the world about the nature of a military offensive by a foreign invader that sacked our territory and murdered our representative in Libya, our American Ambassador, Chris Stevens.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I am not sure if this is an impeachable offense, but it is an offense against Americans to lie so overtly about the murder of our  citizens, to seek to protect your narrative, that you are the Al Qaeda Killer, the Bin Laden Slayer, over speaking the truth to the American people about how and why our land was sacked and our citizens murdered.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Below is a timeline of the events for you to understand more clearly how and why Hilary Clinton&#8217;s attempt to sweep Benghazi under the rug has no chance in the world of succeeding-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">from <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/terrorism/261839-timeline-of-libya-attack-reveals-administration-contradictions">http://thehill.com/blogs/global-affairs/terrorism/261839-timeline-of-libya-attack-reveals-administration-contradictions</a>-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">July: Anti-Islam video “Innocence of Muslims” posted on You Tube.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Aug. 14: SST team leaves Libya. Team leader Lt. Col. Andy Wood has testified that Stevens wanted them to stay on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 10: Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri calls on Libyans to avenge the death of his Libyan deputy, Abu Yahya al Libi, killed in a June drone strike in Pakistan.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 11: Protesters converge on the U.S. embassy in Cairo&#8230;.That night, Republican candidate Mitt Romney criticizes an embassy statement denouncing the video before the events unfolding in Libya are known to the world. Late that night, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says in a statement that “<strong>some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet</strong>.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Libyan Attacks began around 9 pm Libyan Time-</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 12: Media outlets report that Stevens and three other Americans have been killed in an attack by well-armed militants. Obama denounces an “outrageous and shocking attack” without mentioning the video or terrorism. Reuters reports for the first time that some administration officials believe the assault “<strong>bears the hallmarks of an organized attack</strong>.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 13: White House spokesman Jay Carney says “<strong>the protests we’re seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie</strong>.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 14: Carney says the administration had “<strong>no actionable intelligence</strong>” about a pending attack.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 16: Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, does the rounds on the Sunday talk shows and says the video is the “proximate cause” of the assault in Benghazi. “Our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous — not a premeditated — response to what had transpired in Cairo,” Rice tells ABC. That same day, interim Libyan president Mohamed Magarief insists on CBS that “it was planned, definitely.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Sept. 25: In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama doesn’t mention terrorism but makes repeated references to the video. Asked about Clinton’s statement on ABC’s“The View” show, the president skirts the issue by saying: “We’re still doing an investigation,” blames “extremist militias.”<br />

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><h1>Obama Foreign Donor Scandal- Paul Collier</h1>
<p><a href="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/obama-foreign-donor-scandal2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-98618" title="obama foreign donor scandal" src="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/obama-foreign-donor-scandal2-300x213.png" alt="" width="300" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An emerging scandal is being reported in the blogosphere of Barack Obama accepting Foreign Donor Dollars in the wake of his record-shattering September fundraising month where he raised $181 million.  One such suspicion of wrong-doing on the part of the President comes from this fact, the difference between how the Obama campaign and the Romney campaign accept credit card dollars.  Obama Foreign Donors could potentially give to the campaign undetected if they are not prompted to enter the security code from their credit card (which they are not required to do on the Obama Campaign site)-</p>
<p>from <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-foreign-donor-scandal-grows">http://www.examiner.com/article/obama-foreign-donor-scandal-grows</a></p>
<p>Wrongdoing points to President Barack Obama and congressional figures in that the investigation has revealed thousands of situations involving credit card solicitations and donations from &#8220;unsecure&#8221; accounts, many of which are from overseas.  The allegations of wrongdoing involve the fact that these donations may be in violation of federal election laws – a serious offense.</p>
<p>The current scandal coincides with the Obama campaign boasting a record-breaking month of fundraising to the tune of $181 million.  As far back as April of this year, it was reported that persons could make an online donation to Obama without the three-digit security code on the back of one’s credit card while any transaction made to Mitt Romney without the code was rejected.  This severe irregularity may have been the obvious “heads-up” for the investigation to continue to where it is at this time.</p>
<p>The primary source of this article is the <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com" rel="nofollow">Washington Examiner</a>.</p>
<p>Another telling sign that the Obama campaign may be engaging in accepting, and even soliciting Obama Foreign Donors is an analysis of the site that shows most of its traffic comes from foreign countries, and seems built to solicit foreign traffic-</p>
<p>from <a href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/report-obama.com-solicits-foreign-contributions-for-prez/article/2510096">http://washingtonexaminer.com/report-obama.com-solicits-foreign-contributions-for-prez/article/2510096</a></p>
<p>The independently owned website <a href="https://contribute.barackobama.com/donation/index-ovf.html" target="_blank">Obama.com</a>, which steers users to the president&#8217;s campaign donation website, gets most of its traffic from foreign countries, raising questions about the legality of tens of millions of small dollar donations to the campaign, according to a new report.</p>
<p>The Government Accountability Institute today released details of an <a href="http://campaignfundingrisks.com/wp-content/themes/cfr/images/AmericaTheVulnerable.pdf" target="_blank">eight-month probe</a> into fundraising by the presidential candidates and all House and Senate candidates that also shows that the president&#8217;s outreach and fundraising have targeted websites in Chinese, Arabic, Thai, and Korean. Generally, donations from foreign nations are illegal.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Perhaps the most damaging bit of evidence against the Obama campaign is that the website in question is actually owned by a wealthy bundler, an American Citizen, a Chinese-American (if you want to use the hyphens, and it is actually relevent here to do so), now living in&#8230;.Shang Hi&#8230;that&#8217;s China to you and me folks.</p>
<p>From- <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/bundlers.php">http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/bundlers.php</a></p>
<p>In an explosive report set to send shockwaves through official Washington, the <a href="http://g-a-i.org/">Government Accountability Institute (GAI)</a> released a 108-page GAI investigation into the threat of foreign and fraudulent Internet campaign donations in U.S. federal elections<em> (visit <a href="http://campaignfundingrisks.com/">campaignfundingrisks.com</a> to download the full report)</em>.</p>
<p>Breitbart News obtained an advance copy of the bombshell <a href="http://www.campaignfundingrisks.com/">report</a> which reveals that the Obama.com website is not owned by the president’s campaign but rather by Obama <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/pres12/bundlers.php">bundler</a> Robert Roche, a U.S. citizen living in Shanghai, China. Roche is the chairman of a Chinese infomercial company, Acorn International, with ties to state-controlled banks that allow it to “gain revenue through credit card transactions with Chinese banks.”</p>
<p><a title="Obama Foreign Donors" href="http://campaignfundingrisks.com/wp-content/themes/cfr/images/AmericaTheVulnerable.pdf" target="_blank">Download the full report for yourself or read the telling excerpt below</a>:</p>
<p align="LEFT">The Obama Campaign’s Online Infrastructure</p>
<p align="LEFT">Despite the Obama campaign’s level of technological sophistication, the campaign does</p>
<p align="LEFT">not use the industry standard CVV feature on its donation pages. This creates a security risk that</p>
<p align="LEFT">is compounded by the considerable foreign interest in President Obama’s political history,</p>
<p align="LEFT">personal story, and views.</p>
<p align="LEFT">111 The main campaign website BarackObama.com receives</p>
<p align="LEFT">approximately 43% of its traffic from foreign IP addresses, according to Markosweb.com.</p>
<p align="LEFT">112</p>
<p align="LEFT">Though Americans living abroad no doubt generate some of this interest, the majority is likely</p>
<p align="LEFT">from foreign nationals. Though there is nothing inherently wrong with the President’s</p>
<p align="LEFT">international attention, his donation pages’ lack of CVV means that this interest creates</p>
<p align="LEFT">significant vulnerabilities for the integrity of the campaign’s donation process. The absence of</p>
<p align="LEFT">these security protocols is incongruous with the acknowledged technological sophistication of</p>
<p align="LEFT">the campaign.</p>
<p align="LEFT">As stated earlier, the Obama campaign relies on an aggressive email presence to solicit</p>
<p align="LEFT">donations from people that the campaign has calculated (using its massive amount of data on</p>
<p align="LEFT">individuals) to be likely donors. However, foreign citizens report that they regularly receive</p>
<p align="LEFT">emails soliciting donations from the campaign, in potential violation of federal campaign law.</p>
<p align="LEFT">113</p>
<p align="LEFT">The FEC, in an advisory opinion, has stated that there is no proscribed method in soliciting</p>
<p align="LEFT">federal campaign contributions.</p>
<p align="LEFT">114 The advisory opinion appears to conflict with the plain</p>
<p align="LEFT">reading of</p>
<p align="LEFT"><em>2USC-441-E; Subp-A</em>.</p>
<p align="LEFT">One-way foreign citizens receive solicitation letters from the Obama campaign is through</p>
<p align="LEFT">my.barackobama.com, the social media platform created in part by Facebook’s Chris Hughes.</p>
<p align="LEFT">The website has no apparent safeguards to protect itself from foreign citizens participating.</p>
<p align="LEFT">According to the Obama campaign, my.barackobama.com currently has produced at least 13.1</p>
<p align="LEFT">111 Bruce Stoke, “Does the World Want Obama?” Pew Research Center, August 27, 2012, http://www.pewglobal.org/2012/08/27/does-worldwant-</p>
<p align="LEFT">romney-or-obama/.</p>
<p align="LEFT">112 SmartViper Web Mining Company: SmartViper Website Analytics, Markosweb.com; Because metric sites don’t gather separate traffic</p>
<p align="LEFT">levels for the donate.barackobama.com or contribute.barackobama.com subdomains, it is unclear how many foreign visitors actually wind up</p>
<p align="LEFT">there.</p>
<p align="LEFT">113</p>
<p align="LEFT"><em>2USC-441-E; Subp-A</em>: “It shall be unlawful for…a person to <em>solicit</em>, accept, or receive a contribution or donation…from a foreign national”</p>

<p align="LEFT">the</p>

<p align="LEFT">53</p>
<p align="LEFT">million email addresses for the campaign, each of which receives at least one email a week</p>
<p align="LEFT">soliciting a donation.</p>
<p align="LEFT">115 By looking at a random sample of 65,000 links into</p>
<p align="LEFT">my.barackobama.com, the Government Accountability Institute found that approximately 20%</p>
<p align="LEFT">of the links originated from foreign locations.</p>
<p align="LEFT">116</p>
<p align="LEFT">The primary purpose of my.barackobama.com is to create a highly personalized vehicle</p>
<p align="LEFT">for individuals to “get involved” and to invite others to do the same. The campaign employs</p>
<p align="LEFT">various techniques to gather email and other data on the friends and associations of</p>
<p align="LEFT">my.barackobama.com’s members to further the campaign’s fundraising efforts.</p>
<p align="LEFT">117 However, at</p>
<p align="LEFT">no point during the subscription process is a visitor asked whether he or she can legally donate to</p>
<p align="LEFT">a U.S. election. Once a visitor signs up, he or she immediately begins receiving solicitations for</p>
<p align="LEFT">donations. In fact, numerous foreign nationals report receiving solicitation letters and thank you</p>
<p align="LEFT">emails from the campaign for their support. Some of these emails have been reposted on blog</p>
<p>sites to encourage friends to click on the donate link or get their names on the email list.</p>
<p align="LEFT">Foreign Nationals and the Obama Campaign</p>
<p align="LEFT">Using a collection of online research tools, the Government Accountability Institute</p>
<p align="LEFT">analyzed a portion of the foreign links that lead to the Obama campaign website,</p>
<p align="LEFT">my.barackobama.com. The Institute found a wide variety of instances in which apparent foreign</p>
<p align="LEFT">nationals either received solicitation emails or posted links to my.barackobama.com. The</p>
<p align="LEFT">following are but a sample.</p>
<p align="LEFT">1. In July and August, a Chinese blogger reposts letters he has received from the Obama</p>
<p align="LEFT">campaign, each of which contains a solicitation for $3 or $5 (note that these smaller</p>
<p align="LEFT">donations don’t require the campaign to keep any record of them).</p>

<p align="LEFT">116 To guard against repeating the same sites in our sample we selected every 10th site in our database to examine more closely.</p>
<p align="LEFT">117 If one goes to the Obama campaign’s main website and asks to join my.barackobama.com, they are simply asked for a name, email, and zip</p>
<p align="LEFT">code/postal code. A user can then send invitations to their friends and associates to visit that user’s own particular donation page.</p>

<p><a href="http://freedomist.com/2012/10/obama-2013/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-98577" title="Obama 2013" src="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Obama-20131-217x300.png" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Obama 2013- Freedom Still Lives On</strong></h1>
<p>WASHINGTON-  Bill Collier</p>
<p>An Obama win does not mean the end of the world or the demise of the nation IF freedom lovers actually focus on their local and state governments.</p>
<p>For those whose priorities are ethics and morality first and then strengthening family and marriage, free and equal opportuniy for all. The economy, and America&#8217;s global security, an Obama win would be a setback. We can expect more debt, bigger and bigger government, higher energy prices, global compromise with Islamists, an all-out assault on Christian faith and values, even persecution of churches, wealth transfer from the producers to Obama suporters, among many other negative consequences.</p>
<p>You can be sure that Obama will continue to follow the Cass Sunstein model of regulatory tyranny in an effort to get around, and openly contradict, the will of Congress. INDEED things could get so bad that a real Constitutional crisis would emerge with open defiance of these exrra-legal regulations amd executive orders.</p>
<p>Publicly funded late-term abortion on demand, however, remains the greatest threat of a second term for the abortion president. Obama&#8217;s fanatical devotion to infanticide and population control is going to come to the fore if he is re-elected.</p>
<p>All of the things Obama accuses his opponents of he will do.</p>
<p>Obama will end social security,  medicare and medicaid as we know it, taking benefits from millions to pay for his continued nationalization of the entire economy- his goal is total federal management over every industry in an effort to create a socialist and secular utopia. Of course he is lying about his goals and plans for the future.  This is the typical path for radical socialists whose real beliefs are so unpopular.</p>
<p>THAT being said,   if freedom seekers take the fight for a strong and prosperous free society to the local level, much of Obama&#8217;s socialist, anti-Christian agenda can be stunted and weathered.</p>
<p>Getting local officials to commit to resisting extra-legal and immoral policies is the key. This is what the focus of our energy needs to be if Obama wins. It would be a setback, but it wouldn&#8217;t be the end of the world.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON- Paul Collier</p>
<p>The <a title="September Jobs Report" href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm" target="_blank">September Jobs Report</a> by the<a title="September Jobs Report" href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm" target="_blank"> BLS </a>shows one encouraging number that highlights many more discouraging ones-</p>
<p>The <a title="September Jobs Report" href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm" target="_blank">Unemploymment Rate</a> was brought down by a surge in Government hiring, Obamacare-induced jobs growth in healthcare, and continued part time downsizing which reflects in the report as continued employment, but fails to reflect the  significant reductions in incomes for american families-</p>
<p><strong>Forced Part Time Employment jumps 600K to 8.6 million-</strong> This is what the real headline of the jobrs report released this past Thursday by the BLS should read.  While the overall unemployment numbers are down, from 8.1 percent to 7.8 percent, the number of people forced to work part time due to economic downsizing or not being able to find a full-time job jumped a whopping 7.5.</p>
<p>Other telling statistics from the Jobs Report -</p>
<p>Government Padding-</p>
<p>55% of the 114K jobs created were from the government sector.  This contrasted with the rising deficits at the Federal, State, and Local levels paints for a picture of looming economic uncertainty for those recently hired by the governments that are failing to pay their existing bills.</p>
<p>Healthcare Jobs boost numbers</p>
<p>The report shows that 38.5% of the jobs created from July to September were in the Healthcare sector.</p>
<p>If you combine the growth in the healthcare sector, mostly precipitated by the layers of administration created by the emerging Obamacare law, and government-created jobs, the bulk of this job growth overwhelmingly comes directly or indirectly from government, 93.5%.</p>
<p>While government jobs are increasing and Obamacare jobs are increasing, the real backbone of the American economy, manufacturing, showed a loss of 16K jobs.</p>
<p>These numbers, if they are taken at face value, will portray a false picture of American economic health.  The real story is that full time employment is being replaced with part time employment, jobs are being artificially created by the printing of money and bonds, government patronage, and finally the manufacturing sector continues to decline.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>UPDATE- ABC News was anticipating numbers not favorable to the September Jobs Report, so they released this article which now can be cited to make the same claim for a jobs report that favors Obama-</p>
<p>from- <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/10/sept-jobs-report-could-it-be-wrong/">http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2012/10/sept-jobs-report-could-it-be-wrong/</a></p>
<p>This morning’s Labor Department September employment survey has the power to move markets and impact the presidential race. But says economist Joel Prakken, chairman of <a href="http://www.macroadvisers.com/browser/index.html" target="_blank">Macroeconomic Advisers in St. Louis</a>: “It is a mistake to place too much emphasis on any one month’s number.” The number can bounce around a great deal and is often subject to major revisions. “<strong>The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that the standard error of forecasting monthly changes of employment is 100,000</strong>.” The estimate of how many workers found a job last month is far from being an exact count&#8230;.</p>
<p>Note the standard error of forecasting- 100K- that means we could see a revised report that could show the September Unemployment Rate was well above 8 percent, not below the magic 8 number the Obama team will be pushing out in the weeks to come.</p>
<p>UPDATE-</p>
<p>Here is further clarification of the effect of the spike in Part Time Work-</p>
<p>from <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/the-september-jobs-report-was-bad-2012-10">http://www.businessinsider.com/the-september-jobs-report-was-bad-2012-10</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The broader U-6 rate — which takes into account part-time workers who want  full-time work and lots of discouraged workers who’ve given up looking — stayed  unchanged at 14.7%. That’s a better gauge of the true unemployment rate and  state of the American labor market.<br />

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>UPDATE-</p>
<p>While the Unemployment Rate is being reported as going down significantly from 8.1% to 7.8%, there&#8217;s this little inconsistency which has economic experts scratching their heads- the rate of added jobs for the month of September 2012 is LESS than the rate of added jobs for September 2011, when the unemployment rate was 9.1%-</p>
<p>from <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/05/jobless-rate-falls-to-78-percent-in-september/">http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/05/jobless-rate-falls-to-78-percent-in-september/</a></p>
<p>The revisions also show employers added 146,000 jobs per month from July through  September, up from 67,000 in the previous three months. Still, the 2012 average  of 146,000 jobs per month remains lower than last year&#8217;s average of 153,000 jobs  per month.<br />

                    THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- SEPTEMBER 2012

The unemployment rate decreased to 7.8 percent in September, and total nonfarm 
payroll employment rose by 114,000, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported 
today. Employment increased in health care and in transportation and warehousing 
but changed little in most other major industries.

Household Survey Data

The unemployment rate declined by 0.3 percentage point to 7.8 percent in September. 
For the first 8 months of the year, the rate held within a narrow range of 8.1 
and 8.3 percent. The number of unemployed persons, at 12.1 million, decreased by 
456,000 in September. (See table A-1.)

Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.3 percent), 
adult women (7.0 percent), and whites (7.0 percent) declined over the month. 
The unemployment rates for teenagers (23.7 percent), blacks (13.4 percent), and 
Hispanics (9.9 percent) were little changed. The jobless rate for Asians, at 
4.8 percent (not seasonally adjusted), fell over the year. (See tables A-1, A-2, 
and A-3.)

In September, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs 
decreased by 468,000 to 6.5 million. (See table A-11.)

The number of persons unemployed for less than 5 weeks declined by 302,000 over 
the month to 2.5 million. The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 
27 weeks or more) was little changed at 4.8 million and accounted for 40.1 
percent of the unemployed. (See table A-12.)

Total employment rose by 873,000 in September, following 3 months of little 
change. The employment-population ratio increased by 0.4 percentage point to 
58.7 percent, after edging down in the prior 2 months. The overall trend in 
the employment-population ratio for this year has been flat. The civilian labor 
force rose by 418,000 to 155.1 million in September, while the labor force 
participation rate was little changed at 63.6 percent. (See table A-1.)

The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes 
referred to as involuntary part-time workers) rose from 8.0 million in August 
to 8.6 million in September. These individuals were working part time because 
their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time 
job. (See table A-8.)

In September, 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, 
essentially unchanged from a year earlier. (These data are not seasonally 
adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were 
available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. 
They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work 
in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. (See table A-16.)

Among the marginally attached, there were 802,000 discouraged workers in 
September, a decline of 235,000 from a year earlier. (These data are not 
seasonally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking 
for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 
1.7 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in September had 
not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such 
as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See table A-16.)

Establishment Survey Data

Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 114,000 in September. In 2012, 
employment growth has averaged 146,000 per month, compared with an average 
monthly gain of 153,000 in 2011. In September, employment rose in health care 
and in transportation and warehousing. (See table B-1.)

Health care added 44,000 jobs in September. Job gains continued in ambulatory 
health care services (+30,000) and hospitals (+8,000). Over the past year, 
employment in health care has risen by 295,000.

In September, employment increased by 17,000 in transportation and warehousing. 
Within the industry, there were job gains in transit and ground passenger 
transportation (+9,000) and in warehousing and storage (+4,000).

Employment in financial activities edged up in September (+13,000), reflecting 
modest job growth in credit intermediation (+6,000) and real estate (+7,000).

Manufacturing employment edged down in September (-16,000). On net, manufacturing 
employment has been unchanged since April. In September, job losses occurred 
in computer and electronic products (-6,000) and in printing and related 
activities (-3,000).

Employment in other major industries, including mining and logging, construction, 
wholesale trade, retail trade, information, professional and business services, 
leisure and hospitality, and government, showed little change over the month.

The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 
0.1 hour to 34.5 hours in September. The manufacturing workweek edged up by 
0.1 hour to 40.6 hours, and factory overtime was unchanged at 3.2 hours. 
The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private 
nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 33.7 hours. (See tables B-2 and B-7.)

In September, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm 
payrolls rose by 7 cents to $23.58. Over the past 12 months, average hourly 
earnings have risen by 1.8 percent. In September, average hourly earnings of 
private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 5 cents 
to $19.81. (See tables B-3 and B-8.)

The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised from 
+141,000 to +181,000, and the change for August was revised from +96,000 to 
+142,000.

<p>Romney&#8217;s wife is not a show pony, she&#8217;s active, engaged, and has strong opinions, and more than a little horse sense.</p>
<p>Rice is respectable, smart, and will likely excite many voters, including independencts and conservatives. Liberals will hate anyone who runs.</p>
<p>I think Rubio or Demint would be great picks, I still wish Palin was on the ticket at the top, but Rice would be a bold, surprising, but not really risky move- just up Romney&#8217;s alley!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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”.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>By, By, Barney Frank!</p>
<p>The dean of financial corruption masquerading as reform, Barney Frank, is not going to run for re-election. The 31 year politico and author of Dodd-Frank, a financial &#8220;reform&#8221; bill that is causing heartache across the nation&#8217;s financial sector, has not announced why he is leaving his plush DC digs nor what he will do with his time.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>California- Corrupting Of Youth Now An Educational Mandate</p>
<p>Begining in 2012, kids in California&#8217;s failing public schools will be forced to show &#8220;admiration&#8221; for the homosexual lifestyle, banishing any talk that this gross perversion against God, men, and nature is &#8220;sinful&#8221;, and promoting &#8220;exploration&#8221; of &#8220;sexual identity&#8221; by grade-school children against parental wishes. Under the guise of preventing bullying, homosexuals will be bullying children into becoming prey for sexual predators in their classrooms.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Climate Change Gurus Get Nervous</p>
<p>The old joke about how politicians would tax air if they could is no longer funny. As the climate-change gurus get more nervous about being exposed, their minions in Obama&#8217;s EPA are still cramming down outrageous &#8220;regulations&#8221; based on the notion that carbon dioxide is &#8220;toxic&#8221;. But all is not well for these gurus as Canada, showing their quiet mistrust of the whole climate-change agenda and its doctored &#8220;science&#8221;, is reportedly going to back out of the so-called &#8220;Kyoto Agreement&#8221; which many see as imposing jobs-killing regulations without any appreciable reward and for spurious reasons at that.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Pakistan&#8217;s Islamists Orchestrate A Rupture With The US</p>
<p>The recent NATO strike on a Pakistani army outpost was the result of that unit firing on Afghan soldiers on the other side of the border. The Afghan soldiers requested and received air support and in the return fire over 25 Pakistani troops were killed. The entire incident was orchestrated by the Islamist elements in the ISI to deliberately provoke a response that would lead to casualties on the Pakistani side which would then enflame the populace. Those who predict that nothing of substance will change with Pakistan may not be considering that this entire fiasco is being manufactured by the Pakistani government.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Israel Drags Its Feet On Iran</p>
<p>Will Israel deal with Iran&#8217;s burgeoning nuclear weapons program by shutting it down or is a nuclear Iran an inevitability? So far, the Israeli left are siding with Israel&#8217;s enemies, acting like collaborators in the demise of the Jewish People, while the Netanyahu government toys with every other option but the military one, so far caving to US pressure, led by America&#8217;s Pan-Islamic sympathetic president, and refusing to move beyond rhetoric. The clock is ticking and it in days, not months, it may be too late.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Democracy Or Justice?</p>
<p>Should people be allowed to launch Jihad against minorities or their neighbors in the name of democracy? That&#8217;s what is happening in Egypt as the Muslim Brotherhood calls for killing all the Jews and taking away the rights of non-Muslims in Egypt. What is worse is that, while the Muslim Brotherhood may not be a majority after today&#8217;s vote, they will form the largest political block and likely head a coalition government. So, US M1 tanks, sold by the hundreds to Egypt, may in fact one day be turned against Israel.</p>

<p id="yui_3_2_0_18_1318280854399192">
<p id="yui_3_2_0_18_1318280854399189">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.</p>

<p id="yui_3_2_0_18_1318280854399165">The Occupiers want to drag Americans, kicking and screaming if need be, BACK to the bad old days of the all-power socialist workers&#8217; 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.</p>

<p>Remember that April Fools Day column comparing Congress to the Somali pirates?<br />
It seems the Somalis have&#8230;er&#8230;PIRATED that article:</p>
<p>Fri, Apr 1 2011|Published in + Latest News,  Maqaallo / Articles</p>
<p>April Fool! Good Enough for Somali Pirates, Good Enough For Congress — A Modest Proposal<br />
by Ralph Benko</p>
<p>Warning: This is an April Fool’s Day Column. It lays out a way to cut federal spending, by trillions, and how to get it done in months, not years. Washington Insiders who hear about this turn white with fear. You have been warned.</p>
<p>The solution: powerfully change the incentives for members of Congress. Treat our elected representatives as if they were human. Give them a huge bonus for getting the job done. It requires us, as JFK’s chair of the council of economic advisors, Walter Heller, once famously advised, to “Rise above principle and do what’s right.”<br />
I’m sorry to reveal, but since you won’t really believe it, not too sorry: elected officials are just like you and me. And yet, we citizens yearn for heroes – superheroes, really. Our officials wish to satisfy that yearning. They erect awe-inspiring edifices like the Capitol Building. They grandiosely spend billions as if they were nickels found under the sofa cushions. They act in the epic fashion that we demand of them.<br />
Some say that politicians are vain, shallow, creatures. This isn’t fair. Members of Congress tend to be smart, gregarious, somewhat idealistic, people who work ridiculous hours doing tedious, thankless, jobs. Few of them are so blackhearted as to destroy our illusions of them. It would be as if The New York Sun had said in its iconic 1897 editorial “No, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus.”<br />
But, also, being a Member of Congress is not all trivial floor votes and rubber chicken dinners. It is the best gig most of these good folks ever had or can expect. Although their salaries are modest their perqs are endless. Plus they get to be hometown heroes with, if lucky, a bit of national celebrity. Good gig.</p>
<p>In the final scene of “The Wizard of Oz” (a political allegory) the Wizard is revealed to be … a good man, just a bad wizard. That sums it up nicely. Officials are people.<br />
Representatives are avid to hang on to their jobs. If they lose re-election they have to go out into the world and be a lobbyist, trade association official, even, the Horror!, lawyer. One cannot blame them for recoiling from that fate. So they ensure their reelection by saying yes, to everybody, especially powerful people, as often as possible. “Yes” often means spending lots of money. Our money.<br />
We, the people, reward them for this. It’s sweet… in an odd way. Gallup shows we assign Congress an 11% confidence rating – while routinely re-electing our own Representative at something like a 98% rate. Mencken loved it.<br />
I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing. Does it exalt dunderheads, cowards, trimmers, frauds, cads? … Is it inordinately wasteful, extravagant, dishonest? Then so is every other form of government: all alike are enemies to laborious and virtuous men. Is rascality at the very heart of it? Well, we have borne that rascality since 1776, and continue to survive. In the long run, it may turn out that rascality is necessary to human government, and even to civilization itself — that civilization, at bottom, is nothing but a colossal swindle….<br />
OK, good fun. But, Houston, we have a problem. Federal spending has become so profligate that it threatens to destroy America. Desperate times call for desperate measures.<br />
Getting spending cut is simple. Shift the incentives. The simplest way to do this is to pay a truly handsome prize, one that well outweighs the officials’ craving for re-election. Think of Congress as akin to the Somali Pirates. Wired magazine did ananalysis of the business model of the Somali Pirates:<br />
The rough fishermen of the so-called Somali coast guard are unrepentant criminals, yes, but they’re more than that.<br />
They’re innovators. Where earlier sea bandits were satisfied to make off with a dinghy full of booty, pirates who prowl northeast Africa’s Gulf of Aden captured ships for ransom. This strategy has been fabulously successful….<br />
Nobody considers paying ransom to pirates the “right” thing to do. Yet … if you are owner or insurer of a couple hundred million dollars worth of goods you pay the pirates who penetrate your defenses a few million rather watch $200M sink to Davy Jones’s Locker. Ransom: bitter, but practical.<br />
If we the citizens actually wished to staunch the federal Niagra Falls of spending … we’d pay our Representatives a handsome bonus to get it right. We won’t. But it would work. We need to motivate just 359 people (a veto-proof majority) to cut the spending back to reasonable levels and lock it in.<br />
There’s a market clearing price. There’s probably a law against it. But hey, they make and unmake laws up there.<br />
Therefore this writer calls upon some wise American Oligarchs, um, Philanthropists (Hi Warren, hello Bill and Melinda) — who already have committed to offloading their fortunes — to put up, up to, a $63.5 billion bounty. That’s only about half of what they already have committed and 10% of what they are aiming to raise at givingpledge.org.<br />
Each Member of Congress, and each Senator, would be given a $100 million prize for cutting federal spending to 18% of GDP. It’s a lot of money but less than many hedge fund managers, managing mere billions, not trillions, make.<br />
To keep the problem from recurring — we don’t want the number of attacks skyrocketing —also they’d have to refer a really strong constitutional amendment to the States, keeping spending at 18% — except in times of declared war. And constitutionally define war as a Big One to keep Congress from declaring it just to elude fiscal restraint.<br />
Some might be persuaded for less than $100M. But a job is something like a bond, and the net all-in value of holding a Congressional seat, between salary, perqs, staff and prestige arguably is worth close to $5 million a year. Capitalized at 5% that’s $100 million. Rather than quibbling over a tiny, one-time, fraction of our multi-trillion savings… let’s just get this done. At $100M even Dennis Kucinich might, bless his heart, take it. (You are free to donate most of it to People for the Ethical treatment of Vegetables, Sir.)<br />
A Representative only gets her $100M if she, or he, votes for the cuts, and the Constitutional Amendment, does so within one session of Congress, and it is enacted. Hello Warren? Bill? Melinda? You’d look great on Rushmore.<br />
Now almost all the incentives are to spend. Spending makes powerful friends. Cutting makes powerful enemies. They just want to keep their jobs! Shift the incentives decisively and the overspending will stop on a dime: welfare, warfare, all of it. Shhhh! They’re only human. People will object: it’s wrong to pay our officials what it takes to get them to do the right thing. To which this writer, probably alone, says: Huh?

<p>At one of the ONC Policy Committee meetings,<br />
[founder and CEO] <strong>Judy Faulkner</strong> of Epic supposedly declared that &#8216;usability<br />
would be part of certification over her dead body.&#8217; I wonder if she has similar<br />
sentiments about making software <strong>&#8230;</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><p>Epic Systems doesn&#8217;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 href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/2011/09/obamacare-rule-gives-government-everyones-medical-records" target="_blank">a new rule </a>being pushed by the Obama Administration and they&#8217;ll get it unless Congress stops them! <a title="darrel Issaa" href="http://issa.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=597&amp;Itemid=73">CONTACT CONGRESSMAN ISSA </a>ABOUT THIS NOW, ask him to investigate Epic Systems!</p>
<p>Judy Faulkner could gain a near monopoly over the entire &#8220;Health IT&#8221; 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&#8217; medical records and could soon control millions upon millions of medical records and get BILLIONS in taxpayer dollars.</p>
<p><strong>This is theft by regulatory fiat and by insider politics, crony socialism at its worse.</strong></p>
<p><a title="darrel Issaa" href="http://issa.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=597&amp;Itemid=73">CONTACT CONGRESSMAN ISSA </a>ABOUT THIS NOW, ask him to investigate Epic Systems!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<div id="attachment_86265" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-86265" title="Judy Faulkner" src="http://freedomist.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Judy-Faulkner-300x294.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="294" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Judy Faulkner&#39;s EPIC FAIL!</p></div>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s company, Epic systems, sells a software platform that does not communicate with other software platforms.</p>
<p>In other words, if your doctor uses Epic Systems and your surgeon doesn&#8217;t they can&#8217;t share your information digitally in an emergency!</p>
<p>So why did Faulkner get named to a panel that is supposed to promote such &#8220;interoperability&#8221; when her company is the only major player in its field that explicitly, and ruthlessly, refuses to let its platform &#8220;talk&#8221; to other platforms?</p>
<p>The answer is simple: Faulkner is a big Obama supporter and fundraiser and has inside connections with the Obama administration.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>body</p>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_1317910377218281"><script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" defer="defer"></script>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 <a href="http://gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-07-15/pdf/2011-17609.pdf" target="_blank">gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2011-07-15/pdf/2011-17609.pdf</a>)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!</p>
</div>
<p>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.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><div class="mceTemp">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?</div>
<p>The Quinnipiac poll was conducted from Sept. 27 to Oct. 3 and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Asked about whether they approved of Obama&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Crony socialism, or &#8220;stimulus&#8221; is not working. In fact, it could even be deadly. As <a title="Judy Faulkner Epic FAIL" href="http://freedomist.com/2011/10/stealing-your-medical-records-for-profit-and-political-gain-the-epic-systems-scandal/">we are reporting</a>, under Obamacare cronies are getting key positions in the implementation process of Obama&#8217;s socialiszed medicine plan which, in the case of Judy Faulkner and Epic Systems, could lead to patients&#8217; 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.</p>
<div>Meanwhile, House Speaker, John Boehner, <a title="All rodas lead to nowhere for the Obama stimulus package" href="http://www.speaker.gov/blog/?postid=263217">posted a graphic </a>showing that &#8220;all roads lead to nowhere&#8221; for Obama&#8217;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.</div>

<p>Marcelo Furtado, executive director of Greenpeace Brazil at the Copenhagen climate conference:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I know the U.S. public elected Obama, but as you know he was voted around the world as a leader. He was elected as a moral leader from the global society. It was not a U.S. election only. It was a global leadership election.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Obama, before his 2008 victory:</p>

<blockquote><p><em> </em>“Under my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”[1]</p></blockquote>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="in_post_ad_right_1" style="float:right;margin: 5px;padding: 0px;"></div><p>Senator Chuck Schumer To Introduce Tough Trade Sanctions Against China This Week? &#8211; William R. Collier Jr.</p>
<p>Sources on the Hill have revealed that Senator Charles Schumer is going to unveil a plan this week that is the equivalent of &#8220;a declaration of trade war&#8221; against China. The bill&#8217;s details are known beyond the general outline, which is to sanction China for what are deemed &#8220;unfair trade practices.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another source, who is familiar with the story and who is an expert in international finance, noted that, &#8220;what&#8217;s likely to happen is that this bill, if it is introduced and passed, will result in China taking the US to the WTO, where the US will likely lose and be forced to pay damages.&#8221;  According to this source, &#8220;the amount of money involved in the dispute is less than a rounding error when compared to our GDP.&#8221;</p>
<p>This proposal, if it comes forth, could be calculated to inspire the Democrat base, represented by the radical leftists who are staging a small but disruptive protest on Wall Street. &#8220;Occupy Wall Sttreet&#8221; is a protest that is being financed by George Soros and other progressive elites and that is being organized by pro-Obama organizations, including labor unions, various Progressive radical groups, and the Communist Party of the USA, which endorsed Obama in 2008 and is callinfg for his re-election.  The protestors are calling for, among other things, an end to capitalism, the use of force, if necessary, against &#8220;the rich&#8221; to compel them to give up their wealth, and the re-election of President Obama.</p>
<p>Unions have long criticized China&#8217;s trade policies, blaming &#8220;shipping jobs overseas&#8221; for much of the nation&#8217;s woes.</p>
<p>It is not uncommon for unpopular governments to gin up tensions overseas and blame foreign powers for the present domestic situation, however Schumer&#8217;s possible motivations are not known.</p>
<p>China&#8217;s trade policies have long been considered to be unfair and both Tea Party activists and leftists have tended to agree, in principle, that the Chinese are generally bad for business. Among the complaints are dumping of Chinese goods to decimate domestic producers, artificially suppressing the value of the Chinese currency, stealing copyrighted content and patented technologies, and &#8220;massive industrial espionage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Free traders will doubtless balk at such a bill if its is brought to the floor, but the protectionist/isolationist sentiment is rather popular and, some guess, whether or not Schumer gets a bill passed, merely trying to pass such a bill could put a new shine the Democrat&#8217;s tarnished image.</p>
<div id="yui_3_2_0_1_13176471054531917">It is also possible, according to our sources, that another Senator might propose the bill or jointly add their name to it with Schumer. Asked if Schumer could delay or cancel his plan, especially if it is exposed in advance and the sources agreed that Schumer could be forced to back down, at least temporarily, but that &#8220;he definitely WANTS to push this.&#8221;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A HINT of what is to come was referred to just today in <a title="Chuck Schumer- Trade War Against China" href="http://www.democratandchronicle.com/article/20111003/NEWS01/110030318/Charles-Schumer-highlights-loss-jobs-China" target="_blank">THIS </a> piece about Schumer where he is talking about New York losing 160,000 jobs to China.</div>

<p>Will today&#8217;s senior citizens put their benefits ahead of their children&#8217;s future? William R. Collier Jr.</p>
<p>The Progressive slave machine is in high gear defending the social security Ponzi scheme at a time when it is becoming obvious that giving people MORE than they actually put in to the system ensures bankruptcy for today&#8217;s youngest workers.</p>
<p>The system is one big lie and, until this nation started killing off its own future through abortion, there was enough coming in to pay the obligations even while the political elites skimmed off the top, middle, and bottom of the fund to finance their vote-buying programs. The fact that millions of people were paid doesn&#8217;t prove that the system was efficient or even just- it is neither.</p>
<p>We know there are better alternatives, but to even talk about them gets the &#8220;seniors&#8221;, led by the AARP, angry and frightened into believing that THEY will not get as much as they get now (regardless of what they actually paid into the system).</p>
<p>So far the response amongst reformists is to try to assure the seniors that their benefits won&#8217;t change. It is an argument that can&#8217;t seem to get past AARP&#8217;s filter. Seniors don&#8217;t seem to realize that the AARP is nothing more than a progressive plantation for senior citizens who depend on government for income and benefits- they don&#8217;t even get it that their benefits are costing them their freedom and empowering freedom takers in general.</p>
<p>Senior citizens have become takers, all they seem to worry about is how much they are going to get, even if getting it will ensure that future generations never have an equal chance to the same quality of life they enjoyed. For the first time in our history, it appears that future generations will lose ground and have less economic opportunity than those who came before them.</p>
<p>The current generation of senior citizens, especially the baby boomers, has enjoyed a way of life that will be unobtainable for their children and grandchildren.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s assume, therefore, that social security has over-promised and, under the current economic circumstances (partly created by abortion and other socialist policies seniors allowed to occur by voting for their own benefit instead of the nation&#8217;s) cannot possibly met its obligations without literally bankrupting the country.</p>
<p>Would today&#8217;s seniors demand these benefits even though future generations will be left paying a bill that will cripple them? I fear that, come what may, today&#8217;s seniors don&#8217;t care about their children or grandchildren, they just want their benefits.</p>
<p>They might rationalize this selfishness by saying that getting all they &#8220;deserve&#8221; won&#8217;t bankrupt America or by the myth that they put in AS MUCH as they are getting back, but, in the end, debt is strangling America and all these benefits we give out, regardless of what has been paid in, are more than we can bear.</p>
<p>The writing is on the wall- the Federal Government is bankrupting America. Our present economic woes are almost totally a result of government programs, policies, and regulations that take resources away, put a lid on the creation of new wealth, and pour out public money at a higher rate than it can be replenished.</p>
<p>What is the response from the senior citizen lobby? &#8220;We don&#8217;t care, just make sure that we don&#8217;t have to suffer at all, even though we elected these officials who made these policies that will bankrupt America AFTER we are gone.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Bible says that parents should lay up treasure for their children and not vice-versa. Today&#8217;s senior citizen lobby, led by the socialist AARP, seems to believe otherwise.</p>
<p>Of course, reforming social security to a model that is more just to ALL, more efficient, and more in keeping with economic reality doesn&#8217;t HAVE TO cause any real pain or loss to today&#8217;s beneficiaries. That&#8217;s not the point. The point is that many of  today&#8217;s senior citizens, the ones who vote for Democrats to preserve their benefits at all cost, wouldn&#8217;t even consider giving up ANY of their benefits for the good of future generations- and therein lies the real reason why this nation could be headed for collapse.</p>

<p>&#8220;They are millions and we are thousands. They are coming with horses and elephants, with pikes, iron shields and swords and we are only with bows and arrows. They are with their idols, handmade gods and we are with the spirit of the true God &#8211; the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.&#8221; &#8211; The words of Mattathias  166 B.C.</p>
<p><strong>Israel Struggles For Its Right To Exist</strong></p>
<p>Will G-d Bless Israel If Israel Rejects G-d? By William R Collier Jr- The Arab occupation of parts of Jerusalem, of Judea, and of Samaria has been going on for nearly at 1400 years and, at some point, it must come to an end. If human beings can’t manage it through a dialogue between Israel and the sons of Ishmael, whom G-d gave the Arabian peninsula, southern Iraq, Jordan, and most of Syria, then, ultimately, G-d will deal with this matter Himself.</p>
<p>To the Jews, the sons and daughters by blood of Jacob, G-d gave the land of Israel, with Judea and Samaria as the heartland. Indeed, to be clear, lest anyone doubt, G-d actually divided the land between the tribes of Israel, and ONLY Israel, and not once did He say the sons and daughters of Ishmael had any right or memorial in the land of Israel.</p>
<p>Mohammed has NO STANDING in Israel or Jerusalem and Ishmael has no right to occupy lands G-d has designated for the blood-heirs of the tribes of Israel, the sons and daughters of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.</p>
<p>Israel needs to deal with all the Arab powers as a bloc, NOT any group of Arabs, especially that band of Arabs who continue their occupation of Judea and Samaria and the lands of Manasseh on the East Bank of the Jordan river. The Arabs MUST give up all pretensions to any claim of sovereignty over the land of Israel. To do less is to incur the wrath of G-d.</p>
<p>Of course, there are some now, as in the days of the Maccabees, who want to make a loser&#8217;s peace with Israel&#8217;s enemies.</p>
<p>1 Maccabees 1</p>
<p>12 In those days there went out of Israel wicked men, and they persuaded many, saying: Let us go, and make a covenant with the heathens that are round about us: for since we departed from them, many evils have befallen us.</p>
<p>13 And the word seemed good in their eyes.</p>
<p>14 And some of the people determined to do this, and went to the king: and he gave them license to do after the ordinances of the heathens.</p>
<p>When the State of Israel decides to accept the notion of an Arab State over Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem, it is taking the council of these people who negotiated with Antiochus IV, the ruler of the Seleccid Empire. This man thanked them for their willingness to trade sovereignty for peace by trying to abolish the Jewish faith! Do not for a minute think that the Arabs, if they get their new state, won&#8217;t behave in the same manner!</p>
<p>Does this mean that Arabs in Judea and Samaria have to leave their homes if Israel (finally!) asserts its rightful sovereignty over the land?</p>
<p>There is no reason for those Arab residents to leave other than a determination on their part to end Israel’s sovereignty and their effort to claim Arab sovereignty of Jewish lands. As with any Nation, Israel has a right to punish or remove anyone who threatens its existence as a sovereign nation over lands it owns by birthright.</p>
<p>Of course, those people who don’t believe in ancient, G-d-ordained birthrights will reject these arguments as the basis of any claims, but this is irrelevant- it is the Jewish People who can and must press those claims, not before mere men, but before Hashem! Let G-d be the judge and let G-d be the one who does the work.</p>
<p><em><strong>The Arabs have NO INTENTION of accepting a Jewish State in the holy Land of Israel, they are no better than Antiochus IV of old.</strong></em></p>
<p>From <a href="http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4126571,00.html" target="_blank">YNet News</a>.</p>
<p>Friday afternoon, Abbas said  he is adamant about not recognizing Israel as the Jewish state.</p>
<p>“They talk to us about the Jewish state, but I respond to them with a final answer: We shall not recognize a Jewish state,” Abbas said in a meeting with some 200 senior representatives of the Palestinian community in the US, shortly before taking the podium and delivering a speech at the United Nations General Assembly.</p>
<p>G-d cannot and will not bless the State of Israel with victory over her enemies unless and until the State of Israel stands on HIS promises, and His requirements of righteousness which every nation must adhere to. Israel must adhere to the Law of G-d in righteousness and truth, protecting those who do good, punishing evildoers, and taking proper care for G-d’s creation.</p>
<p>The State of Israel currently accepts sins which G-d hates, and now Israel seems willing to hand over the sovereignty of the land G-d gave to the children of Israel to another Arab state which rejects the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The State of Israel will not escape the judgment of G-d for this blatant rejection of His standards, requirements, and promises, but if the PEOPLE of Israel will walk as a People in G-d’s righteous standards He will bless them and protect them.</p>
<p>Recommended article and video, listen to a DEMOCRAT state assemblymen talk about WHY Obama’s policies on Israel are WRONG:  <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148117">http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/148117</a></p>

<p>Solyndra, Lightsquared, and Now Epic Systems- WILL CONGRESSMAN ISSA INVESTIGATE Epic Systems and Judy Faulker, the unofficial medica records czar?</p>
<p>What do Solyndra, Lightsquared, and Epic Systems all have in common? First, an Obama Bundler stands to profit if the company profits. Second, the company needs favors from the government to make money. Third, the company&#8217;s gain is America&#8217;s loss. And fourth, despite this, the Obama Administration gives that company favor because of its political support for him. SEE MORE BACKGROUND ON EPIC SYSTEMS <a title="epic systems, judy faulkner, crony socialism background" href="http://freedomist.com/2011/09/crony-socialism-part-three-meet-the-medical-records-czar-judy/" target="_blank">HERE</a></p>
<p>While the nation has heard of Solyndra and Lightsquared, it seems that nobody on capital hill has noticed that Epic Systems, led by leftwing activist Judy Faulkner, is quietly getting what could amount to BILLIONS in tax dollars to ultimately CONTROL your medical records and force your doctor to use her inefficient and and closed software platform if they want federal dollars to pay for complying with the ObamaCare mandate to use digital medical records.</p>
<p>Obama has quietly given Judy Faulkner a huge boost as the unofficial medical records czar of the worse type- she is seeking total control over ALL medical records and she stands to get billions of tax dollars to do it!</p>
<p>We have sent over background information about this to Congressman Issa&#8217;s office and are awaiting a response. Perhaps you, the reader, can call him and ask him if he would kindly make an inquiry about Epic systems?</p>
<p>Epic systems, owned by Judy Faulkner, is getting all kinds of advantages and, thereby, big fat contracts, to set up a system that is actually the opposite of the medical records system called for by the law.</p>
<p>In other words, while the ObamaCare law calls for digital medical records systems that allow for what is called &#8220;interoperability&#8221; (the ability to connect with other software systems that provide digital medical records)  Epic Systems&#8217; software is NOT interoperative.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s worse is that Judy Faulkner was appointed by Obama to a special ObamaCare central planning committee that is specifically tasked with assigning contracts to companies that provide software for digital medical records.</p>
<p>So Obama chose the head of one of the ONLY companies that does NOT meet interoperability standards to oversee giving out contracts and, conveniently, she is getting contracts that, in reality, her company is not qualified for because it fails to meet interoperability standards.</p>
<p>Contact Congressman Issa and ask him to inquire as to whether or not Judy Faulkner is getting favors because of her partisan support for Obama despite the fact that her company does not comply with Federal requirements for getting the contracts she is getting.</p>

<p>Judy Faulkner, Medical Records Czar and Healthcare IT CEO of Epic Systems wants to control your records to make millions</p>
<p>Written by- The Collier Brothers</p>
<p>Judy Faulkner, Medical Records Czar, Healthcare IT, Obama Czar, Obamacare</p>
<p>It seems like everything comes in threes.</p>
<p>First Obama had the problem with Solyndra.</p>
<p>Then he ran into a buzz-saw with Lightsquared.</p>
<p>It all amounts to an EPIC Fail and &#8220;three strikes, you&#8217;re out!&#8221;</p>
<p>Meet Judy Faulkner. <a title="Judy Faulkner- Obama Bundler, Now Medical ReCcords Czar" href="http://www.publiusforum.com/2011/08/18/big-donor-to-democrats-appointed-to-obamacare-policy-panel/" target="_blank">She&#8217;s not your average Obama-anointed czar.</a></p>
<p>Usually they just get a cushy job and the ability to network, which is pretty good <a title="Susan Crawford Internet Czar Resigns" href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CB0QFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rumormillnews.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Fforum.cgi%3Fread%3D159633&amp;ei=Ich3TtO7Gqbs0gGx_vXmDQ&amp;usg=AFQjCNE4HjXY_9y-cysLSclJMlBKX3Ra-w" target="_blank">while it lasts.</a></p>
<p>Judy is better than ALL THE REST of Obama&#8217;s czars because she doesn&#8217;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!</p>
<p>WARNING: If it&#8217;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.</p>
<p><a title="Judy Faulkner- Medical Records Czar- Healthcare IT- Obamacare" href="http://washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/2011/08/democrat-donor-gets-federal-health-policy-slot-despite-conflicts-interest">Obama gave her a juicy spot in one of those special ObamaCare central planning committees</a> and what do you know, that committee was tasked with giving government contracts to providers to manage the new requirement that your<br />
medical records be digitized.</p>
<p>The thing is, and perhaps Judy thought nobody would mind, she happens to own the company <a title="Judy Falkner- Medicall Records Czar- Healthcare IT- Obamacare" href="http://histalk2.com/2011/09/14/readers-write-91411/" target="_blank">that is getting a lot of the deals!</a></p>
<p>Here are a few of the growing list of deals:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fierceemr.com/story/report-epic-likely-get-massive-contract-replace-dods-ahlta-ehr/2010-08-19" target="_blank">http://www.fierceemr.com/story/report-epic-likely-get-massive-contract-replace-dods-ahlta-ehr/2010-08-19</a></p>
<p><a id="yui_3_2_0_1_13164719540621752" href="http://www.informationweek.com/news/healthcare/EMR/227701093" target="_blank">http://www.informationweek.com/news/healthcare/EMR/227701093</a></p>
<p><a href="http://m.host.madison.com/mobile/article_8aca9bb4-d085-11df-86ea-001cc4c002e0.html" target="_blank">http://m.host.madison.com/mobile/article_8aca9bb4-d085-11df-86ea-001cc4c002e0.html</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.icd10watch.com/headline/u-m-health-system-readies-it-transformation" target="_blank">http://www.icd10watch.com/headline/u-m-health-system-readies-it-transformation</a></p>
<p>BUT IT GETS BETTER!</p>
<p>Well, for Judy anyway.</p>
<p>You see her company, we prefer to call it EPIC Fail, because it <a title="Epic FAIL- Epic Systems does not play nice with others" href="http://histalk2.com/2011/06/11/monday-morning-update-61311/" target="_blank">doesn&#8217;t play nice with others </a> and she doesn&#8217;t exactly let her investors know what a true far-left radical she is.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right folks, this Obama bundler thinks she&#8217;s Microsoft in the bad old days before Microsoft was forced, at the insistence of people on the left an right, to allow for &#8220;interoperability.&#8221;</p>
<p>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 &#8220;talk&#8221; to other software platforms, as is the norm<br />
in that industry.</p>
<p>I wonder if she will write a big fat check out of those monopoly-driven profits to help the government like Warren Buffet wants &#8220;the rich&#8221; to do?</p>
<p>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<br />
people notice!</p>
