The FCC to “Interrogate” radio, TV and web site owners, editors and reporters to regulate political speech the regime does not like in new probe.
We knew Conservative Talk Radio’s days were numbered because they are one of the very FEW media sources that expose Obama’s MARXIST/STALINIST/FASCIST agenda for what it is.
Now a Federal probe will start the process to purge news that the Ruling Class in government does not like.
We knew this was coming, they have been telling us all along. Most were simply not listening, or like smokers of 20 years ago – thought the idea of free speech and press being regulated by the government, an absurdity.
The Federal Communications Commission is planning a broad probe of political speech across media platforms, an unprecedented move that raises serious First Amendment concerns.
The FCC’s proposed “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs,” which is set to begin a field test in a single market with an eye toward a comprehensive study in 2014, would collect a remarkably wide range of information on demographics, point of view, news topic selection, management style and other factors in news organizations both in and out of the FCC’s traditional purview.
The airwaves regulator would also subject news producers in all media to invasive questioning about their work and content.
A methodology [pdf] worked up by Silver Spring, Maryland-based Social Solutions International (SSI) says that in addition to its general evaluation of news content, the survey will include a “qualitative component” featuring interrogations of news organization owners, management and employees.
Among the questions federal contractors will be asking of private media companies:
For media owners:
“What is the news philosophy of the station?”
For editors, producers and managers:
“Do you have any reporters or editors assigned to topic ‘beats’? If so how many and what are the beats?”
“Who decides which stories are covered?”
…“In this study, the FCC will delve into the editorial discretion of newspapers, web sites and radio and TV stations,”
…The FCC will also be probing media such as internet sites and newspapers, over which it has no oversight. The FCC’s justification is that it has a mandate to ensure overall news environments are adequate for consumers who are at risk of being exposed to too few points of view – a questionable proposition in 2013.
To a large degree, the Commission claims to be trying to solve a problem …about excessive “concentration” of media ownership, a concern reflected in SSI’s occult vocabulary of “underserved populations,” “diverse neighborhoods/communities” and “media ecologies.”
What that last paragraph means is an “excessive concentration of ‘White/Conservatives’ having a voice in society. So the Obama FCC is going to go after them, the same way his IRS went after White Conservative groups.
…[The]FCC said it was necessary to “ensure that the critical informational needs of Americans are being met and … advance the goal of diversity, including the promotion of greater women and minority participation in media.”
The Commission has not so far addressed the potential chilling effect of a government interrogation of news producers, nor the potential for abuse of the survey and the information it gathers.
In the last paragraph of a press release on an unrelated topic, the FCC announced last week that it had completed the comment period for the CIN survey and would begin field testing it in one market.
The FCC did not respond to requests for comment.
Contacted in person at an event Tuesday, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel referred The Daily Caller to a legal advisor to “figure out what the questions are,” without listening to any of the questions. The legal advisor referred The Daily Caller’s questions to another FCC official who did not respond.
The venture capital firm of Tom Wheeler, President Obama’s pick for FCC chairman, referred The Daily Caller to the White House’s press office, which did not respond to requests for comment.
Wheeler’s was unanimously confirmed by the Senate late Tuesday. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz had placed a hold on Wheeler’s nomination over concerns that FCC might impose requirements of the failed DISCLOSE Act, an attempt to legislate around the Supreme Court’s Citizen’s United decision. Cruz announced Tuesday evening that he had withdrawn the hold after a meeting at which Wheeler assured him imposing such regulations was “not a priority.”
Wheeler’s view on the CIN survey is not known. Several Commission watchers told The Daily Caller the FCC is waiting for a new chairman to begin work on the 2014 quadrennial review and the CIN survey.
The Saudi National, on a terror watch list and let go by DHS after a deportation order rescinded – visited the Obama’s at the White House on several occasions. Michelle Obama visits him in hospital.
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” – Barack Hussein Obama, The Audacity of Hope pg. 261
Obama has certainly shown us all that he stands with the Muslims, even to the detriment of America, Christians and innocents. He supported the Muslim Brotherhood takeover of Egypt, the Islamist overthrow in Libya and has been busy arming Al Qaeda-backed rebels in Syria. His regime refuses to this day to classify the Fort Hood Jihadist attack as a terror attack, instead insisting it was ‘work place violence’. He was initially negligent to state that Boston bombing was a terror attack when he first commented.
The initial suspect, a Saudi National on a student Visa with burned hands who was tackled running from the scene of the Boston bombing, and declared a ‘person of interest’ was suddenly and without justification – cleared of the investigation and set to be deported after Obama had a meeting with the Saudi Ambassador.
Then his deportation orders were altered after Janet Napalitano was questioned about the suspect by Congressman Jeff Duncan. She vehemently denied having any deportation order for any Saudi national, then admitted later Al-Harbi, the Saudi national was indeed placed on a terror-wartch list when evidence was discovered that those records were altered.
Who ordered those records altered? Why was Al-Harbi’s placement on the terror-watch list suddenly removed? Why was Al-Harbi suddenly declared ‘not a person of interest’? Why has the Obama regime, the DHS, ICE and every other alphabet agency refused to note the fact that Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi’s clan and relatives are spouters and members of Al Qaeda?
Then we learn Michelle Obama even visited him in his hospital room after the Boston bombing. That was flatly denied by the White House – but Al-Harbi was kind enough to post pictures of her visit on his Facebook page – proving yet again that the Obama regime is not only lying, but somehow involved in a massive cover-up and complicity in all this chicanery.
Glenn Beck blew the lid and cover off this story that is being deliberately ignored and muffled by the mainstream media and ridiculed by the Obama government.
But like everything else from Boston to Benghazi – the Obama Regime is never held to answer questions of it’s incompetence, malfeasance or treason.
Saudi Student Alharbi Visited the White House Several Times
Saudi student Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi was injured in the Boston Marathon Bombings.
He was once a “person of interest” in the bombings. He was put on a terror watch listafter the bombings.
The Saudi National questioned after the Boston Marathon Bombing had his deportation order records altered, rescinding his deportation order.
The alteration occurred the night before Secretary Napolitano vehemently denied the existence of any deportation order in testimony before the House of Representatives. Sources with knowledge of these matters says the change occurred subsequent to Secretary John Kerry’s closed door meeting on Tuesday with the Saudi Minister and around the time of the meeting between the Saudi Minister and Obama later on Wednesday evening.
…Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was questioned by Congressman Jeff Duncan about the alleged deportation in a House hearing. Napolitano responded “I am unaware of anyone who is being deported for national security concerns at all related to Boston. I don’t know where that rumor came from.”
Congressman Duncan pushed Napolitano and she retorted:
“I am not going to answer that question, it is so full of misstatements and misapprehensions, that it is just not worthy of an answer….
A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing
As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano refused to answer questions on the subject when confronted by Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) on Capitol Hill.
An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.
A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.
Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano
Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted. Sources close to the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.
Alharbi’s file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges
Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts
After the bombings, a Saudi by the name of Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi was hospitalized and became a ‘suspect’, then a ‘person of interest’. His apartment was searched by federal and local authorities. No confirmation has been given so far to his involvement. The Media were quick to claim his innocence, of course.
This brings us to the Boston marathon bombings. Foreign Policy is reporting that he’s ‘no longer a person of interest’, which means he’s “innocent”, right?
Perhaps a quick look at the Arabic sources should raise the eyebrows of every American relative to the extent of the problem at hand. Many from Al-Harbi’s clan are steeped in terrorism and are members of Al-Qaeda. Out of a list of 85 terrorists listed by the Saudi government shows several of Al-Harbi clan to have been active fighters in Al-Qaeda.
Civil war or subjugation? Obama and the MarxoFascists push the nation into a stark choice.
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Satan? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? – II Corinthians 6:14-15
Several weeks ago, I read an editorial posted at NC Renegade’s site from a veteran who sees this nation at the brink of impending war within itself. The startling truth of what the vet had stated so calmly, without malice but with determination – left me unsettled since I read it. It is a sober truth, one that few are willing to acknowledge. I was reticent about linking to it, and even for me – the truth about what he posted was something I was unwilling to admit to myself. The Normalcy Bias still has a grip on me in these evil days despite my own pessimism of our near future.
As I read that editorial, it evoked immediate sadness and a heart wrenching over a truth I did not want to accept: America has reached the breaking point and it’s people are now hopelessly divided. Divided to the point of resigning themselves to the formerly unthinkable in order to preserve what they cherish, in the face of those who are advocating the dismantling of our institutions and foundations that they see standing in their way. I knew he spoke truth, and I recognize some people with wisdom, understand what time we have arrived at as a nation. Written calmly, with regret and resignation – he and many, many like him – are preparing to do what must be done when that last mistake by tyrants is made.
In the weeks that have passed since I first read it, statements, writings, suggestions and visceral vocal hatreds made by those on the Progressive/Left against Christian Conservatives, the Constitution and liberty-minded Americans, have made that editorial’s recognition of reality self-evident. I did not really want to believe the civil society had broken down to the point of separation or war. The White House petitions for secession and the vitriol in response, were merely the first real outward signs that the body politic is no longer willing to abide one another. Indeed, there are those advocating we forcibly strip away or ignore the very bulwarks of the civil society in favor of what Obama and the Progressive/MarxoFascists will impose upon us.
It is those rantings of the “progressives’ and Marxofascists against those in opposition to the Left’s actions in the last several weeks, that confirms what the Veteran already understood; the time to water the tree of liberty may be near at hand. Like someone who was diagnosed with a terminal disease, I have passed the points of disbelief, denial, and anger – into acceptance of where I did not wish to believe this nation stood.
Obama and the ‘Progressive’ Left in America lecture that there are Two America’s – coined from a speech given in 2004 by disgraced Democrat Adulterer John Edwards. Those Two Americas he outlined were The Haves and the Have Nots. Right thinking Americans understand those Two Americas to be the Makers and the Takers. The Left sees them as the Evil Rich of White Privilege, and the Disenfranchised Minorities.
Given this rhetoric of late from the Obama media and Leftist talking heads, I now believe we are past the point of peaceably co-existing alongside the Progressive/Liberal/Left ideology in America. They are going to force their ideology upon us at the end of a government gun – or we are going to resist with our own guns. There is seemingly no other outcome at this point.
Such rhetoric from the Obama Progressive Left – as I’ve linked to – establishes the hard fact of what I just stated. They publish and broadcast such vileness with impunity, inciting their comrades to support government tyranny upon those they are opposed. Imagine the insane uproar and calls for arrests and imprisonment if Limbaugh or Beck or some Conservative pundit suggested Democrat politicians be dragged across parking lots until they change their views or that liberal citizens should be summarily executed in their homes. But the Left continues to spew such hate and make suggestive Brownshirt-level thuggeries and intimidations – with nary a harsh rebuttal.
We must understand: MarxoFascists are hell-bent in their woeful ignorance and malice, upon plundering, punishing and subjugating the America and Americans they loathe and hate.
We cannot exist peaceably alongside such ideologues, these self-proclaimed ‘Progressives’ because they will not live and let live or leave well enough alone. They do not trust their neighbors with liberty or freedom or possession. They see the Constitution as the cause of our national problems and those who revere it as ‘cultists‘. They only trust themselves, and the government they empower to redistribute what they deem to be fair. Dare to question them, their hypocrisy and their agenda – they will have their minions rough you up:
But it is much worse than just an ideology whose pig-Latin Motto is “Gibsmedat!” To read and hear them now, is nothing short of the kinds of rhetoric an obsessed party has for a Socialist dictator ranting against his political enemies. The willingness of so many to empower government into a tyranny in order to subjugate their countrymen and neighbors to accept ideals anathema to our national and religious foundations is no longer in doubt. In fact, the longer Americans are willing to allow the Progressives and Leftists in America to continue to war upon our foundations without stopping them cold, the more certain liberty as we have known it – will be eliminated. Of course, that is their goal.
I have read of these moments before in history, when it becomes pointless to appeal to common sense and reason from such ideologues. They are entrenched upon imposing their ideology inasmuch as Conservative Constitutionalists are resolved to resist them. When one side refuses to relent it’s imposition, and the other side – if it compromises any further – surrenders itself to subjugation, an impasse exists that ultimately leads to conflict. A moment arrives where there is but two choices left a people: submission to tyranny and slavery, or resisting by force of arms to the death.
We are very near to that last moment if it is not already upon us.
Winston Churchill noted, there is but a window of time to stop madness before the cost in blood is more than a people can bear. A people unwilling to fight when the cost is minimal will cost them everything later on. Should that window of time pass without effort to rectify evil when it is easily defeated, there comes a time when a feeble resistance to preserve one’s own life or to live in subjugation, is all that is left a people. And then, even that becomes futility.
We are now in that window of time.
There is no possibility of co-existing alongside the Progressive Left in America today. They do not seek to co-exist. They seek to shame and ridicule. They seek to dominate and subjugate. They seek to intimidate – which is why the MarxoFascists tell us that disarming us is a ‘fait accompli’ because they possess and control drones that can kill us from 20,000 feet up without risk to themselves. A declaration of tyranny in itself to assert we are powerless against them. That subtle suggestion should rock every American to their core that such people would so casually advocate military air power be used on citizens. To the Leftist, such is merely the means to an end, and perfectly justifiable since they see the Conservative Right and their bitter clinging ways as a danger to them.
It should not surprise us, for that is the nature of the ‘Progressive’ ideology. Same as it is for the nature of sin itself. As the Apostle Paul wrote – “a little leaven leavens the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9) – Sin is never content to sit alongside righteousness. It will ALWAYS work to eradicate and subjugate morality and redefine it in order to justify sin’s dominance. Likewise the nature of Progressive/Liberal/MarxoFascists will never be content to sit alongside the America they despise. They are working to eradicate and subjugate it, redefining morality to justify their dominance, and using newspeak to get the low information person to go along with great-sounding platitudes of their Big Lies. All in the name of the Children, or Safety, or common sense, or intellect. Genocides begin under such societies.
White, “Christian” and Treasonous: Who Will They Kill?
A bunch of far right white mostly southern paranoid extremists are preparing for armed revolution and apocalypse. They speak treason: literally….Let’s talk about racism and white Southern males who can’t get with the program. Let’s talk about what’s really going on with “gun rights,” which has nothing to do with hunting or home protection or even the Second Amendment, but has everything to do with the delusional paranoia of people who really believe the world is out to get them because it’s changing from white to brown, from homophobic to tolerant, from exclusionary to inclusionary, from anti-woman to pro-woman.
With the evidence of those positions made manifest, how then can anyone think that those of us whom they declared enemies, continue to co-exist alongside such people? What do we have in common any longer? It is clear we do not define liberty or freedom in the same way.
“The founders may have disagreed on many things, but they agreed on the meaning of liberty: the right to live as an individual, without centralized planning infringing basic property rights, economic opportunities, and religious freedoms. Obama’s fundamental redefinition of liberty to include communitarianism is not merely wrong, it spells the end of the political commonality that has held the fabric of the nation together. If we define liberty differently, then there is nothing to talk about: my liberty is your tyranny, and vice versa. Our goals can never be shared. That gap can never be bridged.“
I think a large number of those whom signed petitions for Secession understand this fact. Only one side is going to prevail in this fight: tyrannical Leftist/Socialist government and secular hedonists – or individual Constitutionalists, biblical Christians and Libertarians. The latter already defined by this government as being domestic terrorists and a danger to the nation. Clearly this regime in power and it’s supporters see us as a larger danger to their power and safety than from Jihadists.
Since that is the obvious case, there is no point in remaining a united nation. No point in pretending we are all Americans with a shared sense of core values. No point in accommodating and affording time, space or opportunity for the Progressive Left’s viewpoints in our realms of ownership and influence. No point in maintaining friendships or communication with those who see us as terrorists and would happily see us rounded up, imprisoned and eliminated. It is time to separate, defy and ignore those who would impose themselves upon us and the edicts and decrees they make.
Can a sheep in this age really think it can lie down with the lion and not end up in the belly of the beast?
Some Americans already understand where we have arrived. They see no need to serve or assist Progressive Leftists in their own destruction. Some are firing employees who support the regime. Ending friendships, partnerships, business and correspondence with those who support the liberal/Left/Marxist ideology. They no longer wish to read, hear or see what the Progressive Leftists/Statists have to say about anything any longer. While the Left continues to ridicule, demonize and castigate the Constitutional Right, Conservatives are becoming quiet, receding from engagement and going ‘Galt’. An unsettled calm is emerging, the ‘deep breath before the plunge’ mimicking shades of what I have read existed in early 1860-61. Meanwhile the Left thinks they have won and now dominate the public square in discourse with increasing disdain and overreach – while Conservatives are furiously but quietly preparing for a much feared outcome.
The stark truth of understanding where we have arrived is what the veteran was resigning himself to knowing; there is no further possibility of peaceably co-existing with the Progressive Left. To do so, leavens the entire lump. The time for talk is over. There can be no peace with such people and their ideology if God is our Sovereign and liberty our unalienable gift. Our only choice is going to be submission to slavery and eventual eradication – or resisting by every and all manners, up to and including deadly force – to the death. Patrick Henry understood that also and gave an impassioned sermon at the House of Burgesses over nearly the same exact issues, one that should echo in our minds and hearts.
What our forbears understood when faced with the same situation some 238 years ago – was that submission to the “Legal” authority being forced upon them was breaking the First Commandment of the Lord, by allowing a king and his government to legislate and replace God as their sovereign. Galatians 5:1 became the rallying scripture for Independence, and likewise now for our generation – Americans who cherish the liberty enshrined for us by Almighty God will have a duty to resist and throw off those who would become our evil masters once they make their last mistake.
In fact, this duty is the actionable clause in the Declaration of Independence which states:
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
As the veteran has steeled himself to prepare for the inevitable, I too have resigned myself to accept that the Progressive/MarxoFascist Left will make that last mistake – and it will then become our duty to act as the Declaration states. As Jefferson wrote and I paraphrase for this generation:
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our liberal Progressive Countrymen. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by the legislatures to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of our Constitutional Rights and historical heritage. We have appealed to their sense of logic, justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common nationality to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our union. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
The editorial from the Vet is essentially saying the same, exact thing Jefferson, Adams and Franklin wrote above. It comes down to the fact that a free people can no longer abide those who are working to fundamentally transform their nation, and in the process – rob them of their unalienable rights, their wealth and eventually their freedom and their lives.
All that is left is to defend ourselves against them, and for many in America – they are preparing for that need, not IF – but WHEN. You might see this essay as nonsense and pooh-pooh the conclusions, but Americans are not breaking records buying guns and ammo to hunt rabbits and squirrels. They KNOW the Obama regime and it’s Alphabets are also stocking up on hollow point ammunition in the BILLIONS of rounds and arming their police and alphabet agencies. I fear a bloodbath in the model of the French is in our very near future. But the choice is either to live as slaves and be eliminated by the MarxoFascists and the State – or to resist them.
There is a time for everything under Heaven, including the unthinkable.
I am a soldier. I know what war looks like, what it sounds like, smells like, what it feels like in my soul.
I stand today in the twilight of my nation’s grace, looking into the darkness of impending war.
My sleep is troubled, knowing what awaits, yet the ignorant and the ‘true believers’ sleep easily in their delusions, and I am saddened by it.
Daily, I see the Blackhawk and Apache helicopters flying over my city, the military vehicles which appear so frequently now on our roads, often with ‘guns up’ in violation of Posse Comitatus, and I know why they prepare, that it is not far off.
Nightly I hear the report of gunfire near my home, the noise angry men make as they prepare to boil over. These are not soldiers – they are but angry men. And though I share their well-justified anger, I am cautious with them, for they are not disciplined, and they know not the face of war, nor the burdens it imposes upon mind, body, and soul. Because of this, they are dangerous, and I am saddened by this – that dangerous men should roam the streets near my home, full of anger and the lust for vengeance.
All about me are the ceaseless murmurs of soulless politicians and media propagandists, who wear their agendas on their sleeves as a badge of superiority, and the boundless echoes of their contrived ‘message’ assaults me from all sides, even repeated from the mouths of dear friends, and I am saddened by it.
I bear witness to the fact that throughout my lifetime, the lifeblood of my republic has been drained away by greedy and self-serving men, from high to low, who contrive nought but deception against their neighbors and countrymen, and who fail to consider that their children and mine shall share the same fate, the same future, and I am saddened by it.
But I am a soldier, and I know what must be done; and so I shall put away my sadness and I shall harness up the bitter steed of war, and gird myself up for the battle; and I shall ride out to meet the enemies of Liberty; not in rage, not for anger sake or the hope of vengeance; but because I swore an oath before God, to jealously guard our Republic and its Constitution against all enemies; Him I shall not disappoint, for He is my Hope and my Trust.
Therefore, as much as my soul laments against the harsh truth before me, I make this declaration to my enemies who press me into this battle, that none shall be able to afterwards say “I did not know, you did not warn me”;
I do not care why you took that job with the government, or why you continue to hold it. I only know that you have become Judas and sold yourself to an oppressive state – your government office buildings and vehicles are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.
I do not care why, as a journalist, you choose to spin and corrupt the news, rather than report the plain truth and let the people judge for themselves. I only know that you have violated the public trust in the most vile and seditious manner, and thus your homes, offices, studios, vehicles, and any other place you may find yourself are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.
I do not care why you signed that union card. I only know that you pay dues to a communist organization which conducts treasonous works against my Republic daily – and so your union hall and your work-sites are part of the battlefield, and as a soldier I shall act accordingly.
I do not care that you only voted for the traitor because you are elderly/disabled or otherwise dependent upon government largess. Are you so ignorant and/or disinterested that you could not see through their propaganda, to the fact that your sustenance was assured either way? What have you gained now that the public housing areas you live in, and the public facilities you depend on are part of the battlefield? Though I am a soldier, I can afford you little protection, for you have placed yourselves on the battlefield.
I know that all of these places andall of these people are part of the battlefield ,not just because I am a soldier, and have experienced a few battlefields in my day; but also because our President declares that even our own homes are on the battlefield, whether we wish them to be or not, and I have no choice but to believe him; it’s not just that the NDAA passed – a battlefield is not defined by law; it’s the profound build-up of martial power and resources across my once-great nation which tells me a battle is being prepared here. Over two billion rounds of ammunition procured by DHS and its sub-agencies in the past 18 months, plus machine guns in the tens of thousands, armored vehicles, combat aircraft, drones, and other implements of war being staged throughout our nation, our home – how do you explain that except as the preparation for battle?
I will fight not because I desire it, but because I cannot justify any other course of action – when the enemy attacks, you must fight – you must kill or you will die.
I smell you, my enemy; I can feel the ambush you have laid for me and my true countrymen, all about like a sticky spider’s web, yet we will not back down, and though you will kill some of us, you will not get us all before we have finished with you.
I stand here, ready, on the eve of battle, and I ask God why I have been brough to the threshold of this battlefield, about to be thrust in, when I though my soldiering days were through; and I am reminded that there is by His decree, a Time to Kill, as well as a Time to Die… who am I to question why?
Saddle up, boys, it’s time to ride out and meet them.
If there is one element missing from today’s liberty fight, it is the lack of participation from America’s pastors. By and large they are MIA. How many pastors today are warning their congregations of the threat against their Second Amendment liberties? Every pastor in America, regardless of denomination, should have already started proclaiming “the spirit of resistance” (Thomas Jefferson) to their church congregations; they should already be extolling the Biblical mandate to resist tyranny; they should already be warning their congregations of Barack Obama and Dianne Feinstein’s plan to disarm them.
Let me ask my church-going readers: has your pastor said one word from the pulpit regarding the impending gun ban now being drafted? Has your pastor explained the Biblical principles of lawful resistance? Has your pastor exhorted his church congregation to not surrender their firearms and to do everything in their power to demand that your senators and legislators hold the line for the Second Amendment? And my next question is if your pastor has not done any of this, why are you still attending that church?
Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.), speaking on “MSNBC Live” on Jan. 16 said that “some of the southern areas have cultures that we have to overcome” when it comes to gun control.
Now the South is becoming isolated again. Every demographic and political trend that helped to reëlect Barack Obama runs counter to the region’s self-definition….The Solid South speaks less and less for America and more and more for itself alone…Southern political passions have always been rooted in sometimes extreme ideas of morality, which has meant, in recent years, abortion and school prayer…As its political power declines, the South might occupy a place like Scotland’s in the United Kingdom, as a cultural draw for the rest of the country, with a hint of the theme park.
I asked, “Well what is going to happen to those people that we can’t re-educate, that are diehard capitalists?” And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated; and when I pursued this further they estimated that they would have to eliminate twenty-five million people in these re-education centers — and when I say “eliminate,” I mean kill; twenty-five million people…. And they were dead serious.
And due the above – it appears I am not the only one making a similar acknowledgment today:
The moment is at hand. We will either stand up and be reckoned with as free men – or we will sit down forever and accept any degradation, any humiliation. And in that case, we shall have proved worthy of such treatment. Future generations will look upon us with the same mixture of incomprehension and contempt that our generation looked upon those who meekly lined up naked in queue for their turn at the edge of the pit. Because it will come to that, in time.
The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure. – Ecclesiastes 7:4
It may do us some good to consider the Word of God as it pertains to a nation of His people who have abandoned God. The health/wealth prosperity gospel has deceived so many in the Faith – Christianity in America is nothing but become a lukewarm rag. Christians by and large refuse to believe repentance is necessary, that God will always look the other way in their sin because they “accept Jesus”.
Consequences are coming for our individual and national sins. God’s Judgment is at hand. An evil and perverse generation now rules a people grown lukewarm. America has been given over to a debased mind and the people delight in wickedness while the Righteous are hated and scorned. It would do us good to read the book of Lamentations, and contemplate the scriptures applying directly to this nation – for such is our future and will become our lament for certain if this people and the Christian church does not repent and turn from it’s ways.
1 How deserted lies the city, once so full of people! How like a widow is she, who once was great among the nations! She who was queen among the nations has now become a slave.
2 Bitterly she weeps at night,tears are on her cheeks. Among all her lovers there is no one to comfort her. All her friends have betrayed her; they have become her enemies.
3 After affliction and harsh labor, Judah (America) has gone into exile. She dwells among the nations; she finds no resting place. All who pursue her have overtaken her in the midst of her distress.
4 The roads to Zion (the churches) mourn, for no one comes to her appointed festivals. All her gateways are desolate, her priests groan, her young women grieve, and she is in bitter anguish.
5 Her foes have become her masters; her enemies are at ease. The Lord has brought her grief because of her many sins. Her children have gone into exile, captive before the foe.
6 All the splendor has departed from Daughter Zion (America). Her princes (leaders) are like deer that find no pasture; in weakness they have fled before the pursuer.
7 In the days of her affliction and wandering Jerusalem (USA) remembers all the treasures that were hers in days of old. When her people fall into enemy hands, there is no one to help her. Her enemies look at her
and laugh at her destruction.
8 Jerusalem (America) has sinned greatly and so has become unclean. All who honored her despise her, for they have all seen her naked; she herself groans and turns away.
9 Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her. “Look, Lord, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.”
10 The enemy laid hands on all her treasures; she saw godless nations enter her sanctuary— those you had forbidden to enter your assembly.
11 All her people groan as they search for bread; they barter their treasures for food to keep themselves alive. “Look, Lord, and consider, for I am despised.”
12 “Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Look around and see. Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me, that the Lordbrought on me in the day of his fierce anger?
13“From on high he sent fire, sent it down into my bones. He spread a net for my feet and turned me back. He made me desolate, faint all the day long.
14“My sins have been bound into a yoke; by my hands they were woven together. They have been hung on my neck, and the Lord has sapped my strength. He has given me into the hands of those I cannot withstand.
15 “The Lord has rejected all the warriors in our midst; he has summoned an army against us to crush the young men. In his winepress the Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah (America).
16 “This is why I weep and my eyes overflow with tears. No one is near to comfort me, no one to restore my spirit. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.”
17 Zion (America) stretches out her hands, but there is no one to comfort her. The Lord has decreed for Jacob that his neighbors become his foes; Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.
18 “The Lord is righteous, yet we rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look on our suffering. Our young men and young women will go into exile.
19“I called to my allies but they betrayed me. My priests and my elders perished in the city while they searched for food to keep themselves alive.
20“See, Lord, how distressed I am! I am in torment within, and in my heart I am disturbed, for I have been most rebellious. Outside, the sword bereaves; inside, there is only death.
21“People have heard my groaning, but there is no one to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my distress; they rejoice at what you have done. May you bring the day you have announced so they may become like me.
22“Let all their wickedness come before you; deal with them as you have dealt with me because of all my sins. My groans are many and my heart is faint.”
I do not listen to Glenn Beck, but I read a transcript of his from yesterday that someone sent me a link to. There is truth in his words, and words we need to prayerfully consider of ourselves as a nation and people.
He said:
” If you look at history through a biblical world view, the last step before a nation is completely destroyed is they drive the righteous from among them…..Americans know. And if they reject it this time, and if they’re so dead inside ‑‑ that’s a possibility. If they’re so dead inside that they can no longer see the difference between good and evil, we will be destroyed because we will be a remarkable evil on this planet. – Glenn Beck 11-6-2012
There are few issues in my life that stir up more emotion than American patriotism, hypocrisy, and history as it relates to our nation and the events happening during my lifetime. Because of one man, who I and many others can attribute all of the problems we are debating in this brief blog entry, I can offer only one statement somewhat modified from it’s original form which summarizes the ensuing discussion:
G*D Damn you Glenn Beck
While this might appear to be a similar rant apparently parodying the good Reverend Wright of President Obama’s “past” and the commentary he offered about America, the truth is not far from how I am sure the good Reverend felt after his words and actions were revealed and rebroadcast on Mr. Beck’s program repeatedly. Why do I dare say G.D. old Glenn? Well, let’s talk about hypocrisy for starters.
For years he preached about the ultimate “Progressive” that Senator John McCain was and still to this day is. What does he do in November of 2008? Old Glenn proclaims: “I voted for Sarah Palin, not John McCain.” Bunk. That’s the ultimate in hypocrisy and to this day I continue to call him out on that. Then Sarah Palin “returns the favor” by helping Senator McCain in his re-election bid by campaigning for him in Arizona and Glenn dares to act incredulous. Is this the only incidence of Glenn’s hypocrisy? Of course not.
Glenn has become a spokesperson and friend of the National Rifle Association and its President Wayne LaPierre. While engaging in support for this organization, Glenn has refused to address the issues of their contributions in the past to Senator Harry Reid’s campaigns and another liberal, Senator John Dingell (D-MI). In fact while Sarah Palin was with the Tea Party Express protesting in front of Senator Reid’s home in Searchlight, Nevada, Glenn was oddly silent about the event occurring at the same time, Slick LaPierre’s lunch time meeting with Senator Reid in Las Vegas. And to this date, the lack of commentary on the N.R.A.’s endorsement of the progressive Senator McCain speaks volumes, at least to myself. I am not sure if this is hypocrisy on these issues in they eyes of some, but if it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, well you get the idea.
Fast forward to August 28, 2010 and the hoopla surrounding the gathering in Washington, D.C. The American people are spoon fed information from various mainstream media outlets leading people to believe the gathering is a political recruitment device concocted by a gathering of conspiratorial conservatives and those evil Tea Party types who actually sit in their Mom’s basements screaming “Wolverines!” every chance they get. That would be the somewhat “left” perspective of the event before and after it happened. On the flip side the real conspiratorial loons of the alleged right accused Mr. Beck of using this “gathering” as an opportunity for several goals. One group is accusing Glenn of attempting to usurp all faiths and create a universalism movement where the lines between various denominations within Christianity is deliberately blurred so those evil Mormons can take over the religious leadership in our country. Another group from the woo-woo patrol is accusing Mr. Beck of conniving to deceive “true Christians” by conning them into believing that working with other Christian sects and those evil Joos and Muzzies will diminish and destroy the “real God” and cause America to be damned to Satanic rule.
Thus the attack goes after the modern day version of the persecution of 1930′s German Jews of our society, the Church of Latter Day Saints. For some strange reason there are people within our society that view the Mormon faith as dangerous. Perhaps I am ignorant of recent American history, if so then someone can correct me then if I am wrong but:
– Last I checked, there were no Mormon hijackers on 9/11, nor pilots of any of the planes that killed thousands of Americans that fateful day.
– I’ve never heard of Mormon Suicide Bombers putting on vests and running into crowds of people, including U.S. soldiers, and detonating themselves.
– It wasn’t a Mormon who committed an act of terrorism and slaughtered all of those soldiers at Ft. Hood, TX.
– I’ve never heard, read, or born witness to any aspect of the Mormon faith demanding the U.S. Constitution accommodate “their” legal system, nor modify the document to assimilate the American people to their faith.
– Mormons are not setting up churches nationwide while calling us “infidels” or beheading our citizens overseas.
I’m just sayin’.
The scariest aspect of what I have witnessed in the past week has not been the hucksters like the welfare poverty pimp, Al Sharpton’s protest and typically fictional accounts of reality and the events which happened in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. The most horrifying aspect of the entire time period was the apparent willingness of American citizens who proclaim to be people of faith aligning themselves with Marxist ideologues to attack an event based solely on a harmless religious doctrine which just happens to be the faith of the 8/28 organizer. Based on this it is safe enough to presume then that Christmas should be canceled because those dastardly Mormons celebrate it also and that means those evil trees are actually antennas designed to receive mind control instructional videos from Salt Lake City, Utah.
What I would like to know is where were all these Christian hypocrites when another Mormon, Senator Harry Reid (D-UT) proposed and ushered through act after act which expanded the integration of Marxism into the American economy and codifying activities which in the future could possibly endanger their ability to engage in activities unique to their versions of Christian belief? Why were they silent about Dirty Harry’s religious beliefs when he was engaged in the praise of our enemies, support of the dilution of the Constitution, and engagement with the President to expand the ability of the Federal government to dilute their freedoms? Is it perhaps the hypocrisy I accuse Mr. Beck of pales compared to the sinful act of Envy these alleged religious leaders have apparently engaged in over the past ninety-six hours?
The reader may wish to take his or her time to search for articles relating to Senator Reid’s religious beliefs or how it pertains to the legislation of Socialized Medicine, Cass Sunstein’s Financial Reform Act, and the Stimulus Slush Fund but you will find nothing from any of the preachers, reverends, philosopher’s, or commentators who are attacking Mr. Beck or the Mormon faith recently.
Those who believe that this is an evil Mormon plot to seize control or some other such silly conspiracy, I have but one thing to say to you:
You suckers, you dupes, you useful idiots are doing nothing more than succumbing to the devils of history we already know….
Hegel, Engels, and Marx.
You launch your “holier than thou” attacks on Glenn Beck’s Mormon beliefs but not once did he demand conversion of faith, or you attend a LDS service, nor travel to Salt Lake City to beg for forgiveness. When people applauded his generous and charitable actions to open the American public’s heart and soul to the ideals of restoring Faith and Honor in our society to save our nation, you dared scoff and accused him of proselytizing to convert the souls of your families and those of your followers. Masking your commentary with unrelated Bible passages to justify your attacks, you hypocrites of sin assumed that the sheep of your flock will expand by attempting to engage in the art of deception to expand your audience and promote your careers. I shall not nor will I dare expand upon that by mentioning your filthy tripe on these pages nor engaging in the religious bigotry so ignorantly displayed by your spite so as to publicize you any further.
In the mean time, your efforts do nothing but allow you to surrender and serve as the willing whore, a dupe for the powers of darkness who dance you around like a puppet, with the Obama administration’s Marxist idealists on one string and the Islamofacists on the other. They laugh at your actions as their plans succeed because you fear a man and a religion more than you fear the Lord, thus allowing the strategy of “divide and conquer” the opening it needs to destroy the ideals of liberty and freedom you claim to profess. Your efforts, your lack of foresight, and your deceitful ways shall have no impact, because the “true believers” in our nation will not entangle themselves in your puppet strings and will not remain in the darkness of ignorance, a fear that our Founding Fathers had which caused them great trepidation as they demonstrated a willingness to sacrifice their lives for your very existence.
So many have written on their blogs of the evil of Mormonism and its impact on “Christian” society yet these same authors and commentators of the faith stay silent as they pump Saudi petroleum products into their vehicles as that nation enslaves, rapes, tortures, and murders Christian families and children; as they have for over twelve hundred years. According to the information that I have available as of tonight, there were no slaves in the state of Utah, nor a policy of persecution by the Mormon faith.
Keep it up you clowns as you suckle to a narrow-minded belief system which accommodates the twisted desires of the left all in the name of your “true God” and the beliefs you wish to share with the multitudes. Sadly your efforts to profit, to engage in acts of personal jealousy to make a name for yourselves on the coat tails of a man who did nothing more than work hard to achieve success and to share those blessings will yield you no fruit and only a bitter ending for your attacks upon the 8/28 events. While you attempt to divide the believers of Liberty and Freedom in an attempt to protect and expand your flock, these very actions and words are handing a victory to your future masters; the Marxists who ultimately will eradicate your religion, your freedoms, and the ideals of protecting the one and only “true God” of yours, which ceases to exist, after you assist them in attaining success.
NOTE: The * in the title is not the letter “o” nor am I cursing Mr. Beck in any way shape or fashion as I am not as shallow of the President’s former religious adviser. Let the false prophets and misguided souls do their works of propaganda and evil for the left, as I shall not. For the good that Glenn does in our society, our nation, and for our Constitution, I say a hearty “GOD BLESS YOU GLENN” and not the narrow minded persecution being engaged in by many at this time. My personal fear is that the Mormon faith shall be selected as the “Jews” for a future holocaust, not much unlike that of the 1930′s in Germany, but similar to the practices of persecution and prosecution for the convenience of the powerful, to cover for their errors in judgment and mismanagement of our nation’s affairs. I have nothing but praise for the LDS, their suffering and successes, and their belief system. For the record, I have not nor ever have been a member of the Mormon church nor participated in their faith, it’s practices, or services.
Totally Unhinged – The War Against God, Righteousness & Christians
I have a curse that is the penchant for noticing patterns, trends, and the zeitgeist blowing through the culture. The spirit behind efforts, movements and populist sentiments that ring out across the land.
Since we fight a spiritual war against Evil in High Places, I tend to notice the spirit of commonality that exists to war upon the values and sacred beliefs we at one time cherished as a people in this nation.
Currently, we are embroiled in a bitter spiritual war that will inevitably lead to a physical one, and that has never become as evident as it has this past weekend as the rhetoric on the web, the hysteria of the rabid Left media goons and the jealous/hating zealots in the blogosphere are on full display.
Such vitriol always ends up leading to violence, whether it be a genocidal slaughter, or a civil war – the spiritual war transcends to the physical plane, and God’s people are once again embroiled in a bloody battle. It would be a mistake to ignore the spirits behind the war against God, Christianity and the call of the nation to repentance. Some of those spirits are clever enough to cloak themselves in garb beyond the blatant and self-evident hate to transform themselves into angels of light and ‘reason’ that deceive the individual to focus on singular aspects of contention, rather than the message, point and purpose of the call to gather a people to beseech them to turn back to God.
While I am not a listener of radio entertainer Glenn Beck, or much care for his ability to generate instant tears on his news program, that he would call America together for the purpose of exhorting us to turn back to God is an effort worthy of the support of anyone who is a Christian, anyone who reveres the bible and/or understands the religious heritage and history from whence we came as a people.
If the question for the nation was “Who stands with the Lord?” – then clearly over 800,000 physically stood for the purpose and exhortation of the event, this past Saturday with hundreds of thousands more online. More than a million-strong having heard or seen part or all of the event. The point and purpose; to turn our nation back to God – and seek repentance for ourselves and the nation.
But then almost immediately, the lines of demarcation in the spiritual war now raging became manifest.
The usual God-hating Marxists and Leftists along with the Ruling Class politicians and pundits did not disappoint in their expected outcry of rage against a rally for America to turn to God. But even they surpassed the usual amount of demonic vitriolic vomit to cross into the sphere of total unhingement.
Former editor Beau Friedlander for Air America and contributor to the Huffington Post put a bounty on the head of Glenn Beck and offered $100,000 for anyone who could provide sex tapes and phone records or any evidence of wrong doing by the talk radio host. Of course he provided that offer after he roundly bashed Christian Americans and Evangelicals – slandering them for being evil “neocons” (a favorite slam from both the Marxist Left and the Ron Paul/Alex Jones bunch). The column itself was so outrageous that even the mega-left leaning HuffPo had to retract the article from it’s site.
MSNBC’s unhinged alchie Chrissy “I gotta thrill up my leg” Matthews ranted abject fury over the rally, exclaiming: ““Who stole America? I want to know, who stole America? Give me the names. Who stole America?” as if Christians seeking God snuck into D.C. under cover of darkness and turned us into a theocracy by putting guns to everyone’s head and telling them to pray to God.
This was the day after he went beserk screaming“Little right-wing boys and little right-wing girls joining hands and singing their praise for Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin. I have a nightmare”. Yes, the nightmare for any Ruling Class hedonist is that a Christian people would dare pray and ask the nation to repent. They and the demons with their Prince who rules the power of the air, and the airwaves – tremble at the thought.
But there is far more out there from the rabid Marxist Left if you wish to do a Google search and read the absolute foam-at-the-mouth vitriol against everyone who went to that rally this Saturday.
The hatred of Christians and those who call us to return to God, is rising to an institutionalized level that I only experienced in India from the Muslims and Hindus – two opposite extremes of faith with a common enemy; Christians. Yet this is supposedly America, but it certainly feels less and less like it each passing day.
And when you read all the hatred, ranting and outright insanity and fear the Ruling Class and their Marxist sycophants have for Christians – you suddenly find yourself reading strikingly similar hatred, ranting and outright insanity from so-called Conservatives on the Right. Even moreso in some cases.
In solidarity with the Secular Christian-hating Leftists, many self-described Christian “patriots” also went beserk with as much vomitous vitriol as their Ruling Class media counterparts. They decided they would not stand with the Lord if it entailed standing with a man whose politics and doctrinal positions they did not agree with. Instead they decried those who organized the rally as being in league with the Devil, and those who went with being deceived and blinded sheep.
So they undertook the same efforts as those on the Secular and Marxist Left – and ardently warned America to stay away from; to ridicule; demean; smear; and even boldly attack Beck’s denominational faith. To plead with America that Beck’s call and assembly was not to be followed, listened to or acknowledged, even if his call was for the nation to repent and turn back to God.
Within hours, jealous competitors decided to join with the Secular Left and wage their own efforts to ‘expose’ the man responsible for calling America together before God. I mean, “How dare he!” as one blog poster in a fit of rage let fly. I could almost feel the palpable rage that must have existed in those that tore huge chunks of flesh with their teeth from the Apostle Stephen as they foamed in rage at those who had a following not approved by those who made themselves arbiters of what is holy and patriotic.
One such example is Conspiratorial crackpot and Anti-semitc nutcase Alex Jones, who in a fit of jealous rage that Beck could call nearly a million Americans to come together and pray to God – announced all his current conspiracy film projects were going to be halted so he could work on his Bash Beck film : “The Glenn Beck Deception”.
Yes, all of you 800,000 who were there on Saturday – you are “deceived” by “evil neocons” into praying to God and calling the nation to repentance.
There’s Youtube video of that rant if you care to hunt for it yourself.
Then there’s acolyte of the Leftist/Alex Jones meme, James Howard Kuntsler, who went so far to include F-bombs and other insulting vomit of those of you “disoriented citizens’ who attended the rally on Saturday:
Quote:

…The masses still truly believe that prayer will save them from bankruptcy, foreclosure, penury, the loss of status, and the cut-off of precious air-conditioning, so Glenn steps onto a national monument like an Aztec priest ascending the Pyramid of Huitzilopochtli to soothe the angry god with worshipful incantations, and incidentally maybe a few dozen sacrificial hearts cut out — just as the tea-bagger right-wing glorifies the sacrifices of US soldiers blown up by roadside bombs for the sake of American military adventuring
No I’m not providing a link to that spew – what I posted is all I will subject you fine folks to reading.
But back to the curse I mentioned in the first sentence of this rant. In this spiritual war for the soul of the nation and it’s near-term future – the spirit prompting those bashing Beck and Christians at that rally, whether they be from the Ruling Class Left – or the Alex Jones/Right – is the same spirit – who hates beyond reason and logic that anyone be exhorted to return to God, to seek Repentance and to turn from our wicked ways as II Chronicles 7:14 tells us.
Make no mistake, this is a spiritual war. And history always shows, that those engaged in attacking the faith and spiritual constitution of a segment of the population – will transcend the arena of rhetoric and rant, and rend that pound of flesh from our bones with teeth and steel.
When I was a child, some forty plus years ago, I used to buy comic books for their entertainment value. Sergeant Rock, Spiderman, Thor, Captain America, Superman, etc. were there to stimulate my mind and activate my imagination. I remember walking, calm down current day parents when you read this, almost three miles to the Elmore’s in my town a five and dime which had all of my favorite candy and comics and where after earning an allowance for working around the house I would walk there to buy my favorite issue or latest Wacky Pack release, always hoping to get the newest stickers, of course. Ah the joys of childhood.
Until this week. I heard Glenn Beck the other day, late in his show, discussing the latest edition of Captain America, number “602″ and the content within it. The focus was on a panel displayed below:
(Marvel Comics/Marvel.com)
I have circled the offending portion in red but this is purely out of context of the entire article and theme, to which I shall address it in total a few paragraphs from now. The content Mr. Beck discussed was disturbing and the portion above triggered the following response today from Marvel:
Where Mr. Houston is correct is in our accidently identifying in one of the held up signs, the group as being a part of the Tea Party instead of a generic protest group. That’s something that we need to apologize for and own up to, because it’s just one of those stupid mistakes that happened through a series of stupid incidents.
The claim that this was a mistake and filler from the publish does not wash when you read the theme of the entire comic book in context. In fact I had to read it three times to make sure I wasn’t in Cuba or East Germany reading the tripe that I read. The author, one Mr. Brubaker, apparently felt that by tapping into the average American’s discontent he could enhance a villain which again typifies the leftist “Militia Stereotype” tripe that I hear on a regular basis which is tagged on anyone or any group which opposes either political party for their unconstitutional behavior. My discontent started when I paid $4.99 for this crap instead of the thirty cents that I was used to as a kid but that’s a story for one of my inflation rants. Having read through the entire story, let’s look at the other panels which I call objectionable and tie all of this together:
(Marvel Comics/Marvel.com)
As you can see we have the politically correct heroes observing a protest rally against oppressive government taxes and anti-Constitutional behavior. Gee, gosh, they must be evil then, right? They might even own “gasp” guns!!!!!! Reflect on this and the comic book as a whole if you have read it as I have. Think hard on this. Did you ever or have you ever in the last ten years seen or read a comic with Anarchists, Communists or Pro-Illegal Alien protesters and rioters depicted in a negative light via the story as a whole? The answer to that would be “no” and you’ll never find such an issue.
Those panels were from the proceeding page, but let’s look at one more where I’ve circled the discussion and for a damned good reason:
(Marvel Comics/Marvel.com)
The theme of the story is a group of well armed American citizens raising some sort of army that killed some local deputies in Idaho when their hideout or lab was raided. The signs were not fill ins as these signs were present at some Tea Party and 9-12 rallies except for the moronic one in the panel above which appears to say “NO GOVT IN MY MEDICARE” which is enlightening since Medicare is a government agency. Ah well, it’s hard to find good writers and people who understand that the artwork from the 1930’s to 1980’s in comic books was indeed appreciated because the stories were not left to the devices of people with major agendas against pro-Constitution Americans.
Why do I call bull crap on the apology above? Why do I have more serious concerns than ever about the path this nation is on? And why should you care about the depths to which our current administration will sink as well as the consequences of the ineptitude in some cases, evil in others, of the prior administration? That is simple enough to answer. The mainstream media by and large has surrendered all sense of objectivity and aligned itself with elements which would have been laughed off the stage, egged, or beaten in the early 1900’s through 1930’s. The media thinks that Eugene Debs was a hero and that John Reed from the movie Reds is their ultimate goal in life or nirvana for a journalist seeking to bath in the glory of self-aggrandizement. To celebrate the Euro-Socialist model as well as that of their Marxist patriots from history means that the media must attack, at every level, from kindergarten through grade twelve plus college the ideals and history of our Republic. To achieve the goals set out by the devious radicals within the early Socialist movement and Progressive platforms this is the time that they know they must strike while the nation is still suffering the hangover of the greatest economic party which has lasted almost continuously since the recovery of the early 1980’s.
This means that comic books apparently will engage in the rhetoric and attack mentality to destroy the idea that protest, opposition to, and engaging a government which appeals to and desires to liquidate the United States Constitution as the law of the land, is now their duty to the state and not the people. To destroy the very instrument which gives them their empowered free speech rights so they can be bureaucratic organs for some horn rimmed loser with a career job and personalized rubber stamp drawing double what his twin does in the private sector because they know what is best for our society and not those old men who founded this nation. The idea is simple and was engaged in by the United States via the comic book industry and the Axis powers during World War II to communicate the evil of the opposition to the children and teens so they would grow into the role defined for them by the statists. God help us but this Issue number 602 tells me that the propaganda organs are alive and well and we, the people, have not learned one thing in the last twenty years about what occurred behind the wall in East Germany or in gulags of the Soviet Union.
So how does his apology, the panels above and the story in total tie this together? Guilt by association. The simplest concept in the world, used since Woodrow Wilson dictated the publication of every newspaper and magazine in 1918 using his goon squads from the Creel Commission via the American Protective League to enforce and silence those who opposed him. Fast forward to the modern era and with the majority of the media swooning and doing the bidding of this administration, one must ask how much longer until Obama’s APL is in action? Add in the stories about the “revised history” being taught to our children and the vilification of gun owners or non-leftist historical individuals and you begin to understand as I do the dangerous waters we now tread in.
I have thought long and hard on the descent our nation has experienced over the last decade. We the people are willing, almost begging, to surrender our rights for economic security. We the people are willing to look the other way with regards to the absolute corruption at every level in every branch of government. We the people are trying, yet fighting a losing battle, to make the two political parties in power and the media understand that the final line has been crossed and we wish for peaceful change and a return to constitutional governance once again. Alas, I fear that the Marxist elite will now make their final power play, and that last line in the sand that has now been blown away like that of a shattered hourglass in the desert.
The lamentation in John’s essay today – is a lamentation not lost on the rest of the world either. Even France’s President now fears for the West, given he sees Obama as having surrendered and abandoned liberty and common sense for the pursuit of the same dictatorial tyranny that plague the rest of the third world.
As I was driving over to one of the other craters in the Florida real estate landscape, the East Coast, I was able to listen to the Glenn Beck show and reflect upon the news he was almost aghast to read and reveal as he chattered in his usual manner. The story that was emblazoned upon the front page of Drudge when I was awake some sixteen hours ago about the honor student being brutally murdered in Chicago by thugs, the story of the next group of school children singing praise to Obama, and the story of the mock prayer to Obama gave me a chilling feeling. This feeling was one that our nation had taken a significant turn, one that we may not recover from.
The week was spent listening, reflecting, praying and hoping that the path our nation has chosen is reversible, that the groups who claim that political change will reverse the course is still possible. Alas, I must respectfully disagree with my friends in pursuit of freedom. This is not an entry about the movements, the politicians, or our future. The week was used to reflect on the past, to determine where the future may lead for myself and our nation in my opinion. I do not wish to bore my readers with the personal concerns, this is the time to reflect on the nation and the danger we are now in.
The American people have had it pretty good for the past twenty-five years. We restored our nation’s honor. We defeated the Soviet Union under the leadership of a true patriot, Ronald Reagan. America absorbed major body blows in 1987, 1990-91, 1997 and 2001 via economic conflagrations which would have destroyed a weaker nation yet we did not learn from those experiences and in fact magnified the mistakes by layering greater and greater leverage on to an economy in desperate need of a reset. The moral errors of the period have also been ignored. We honor criminals like O.J. Simpson with 24/7 car chases, glorifying rioters in thugs in Los Angeles, and paying homage to criminals by begging for leniency or pardoning them for their horrific actions. The worst aspects of our path over this period is a duplication of almost maddening proportions as America elected to expand on the vulgarities of Caligula by normalizing the obscene and denigrating the norm. All the while we witnessed and heaped scorn on the “traditionalist” religious points of view and origins of our nation. We wished to modify the religious texts of our history instead of honoring them while changing our history to accommodate the perversions of our modern era. If we did not like the end result we deleted the information on our heroes or made their negative character traits the primary exhibits of their accomplishments, denying the proper honor for the sacrifices so many have made.
There are some who will proclaim my opinion as that of a rabid Obama hater. The ignorant who have not read my entire body of work nor elected to actually read the details and ponder every word usually attack without thinking. This is beyond Obama. This is something that started as not so innocent experiment to guarantee greed and avarice and has since turned into a vile attempt to corrupt a nation via financial and moral bankruptcy to enslave its citizens for decades to come. What we have witnessed with the praise and preaching to our President and attack of an innocent child in Chicago is the culmination of what we swore we would never become and never feared as it could never happen here.
I mean that my friend via radio and television. You have done many great things and this current story first broken on the mainstream by your radio show and the fine folks at Breitbart via www.biggovernment.com (Link to story here ) has exposed the fine people at ACORN to be just what they are: Poverty Pimps. It is a good thing they are “helping” with the census because I would hate for underage illegal prostitutes from El Salvador to not be counted and insured they get all the benefits and numerous voting rights for Democrats that they deserve.
As I listened to the program today and then watched the television show, read the link above from Breitbart and thought about all of the news surrounding this and the silence from the state media organs, it hit me that the big story was not that this has happened; hell I think most Americans are desensitized by this now and expect this type of behavior from any organization affiliated with either political party or receiving government aid be it ACORN or Citigroup. The big difference is that all the whores are in the board room at Citi and not seeking shelter in a Federally funded home loan in Baltimore. In fact the big story is not the risk to the lives of those involved in this story but folks, I agree with Glenn: PRAY HARD for all of them as when the dollars get this large, the rules are not exactly the same. The big point thus far is not even the silence from the mainstream media and the various liberal elite proxies acting to promote any activities that further Marxist causes, the Constitution be damned.
The big point is simple:
We have a banking crisis because of what you saw on this video and the activities of the subjects in this story.
The undercover reporters exposed what happened in bank offices, mortgage lenders of every size, and “community assistance” offices nationwide for years now. The price we are paying is just now being realized and the death of companies like Wachovia, Washington Mutual, Indymac, Bank United, Bear Stearns, and Lehman (etc..) can all be related to the story you have heard and watched from Mr. Beck and the crisis expanded upon from that.
So what “that” am I referring to?
The largest credit crisis in American, perhaps capitalist history. It can all be traced back to a series of blunders starting with the New Deal of FDR, expanding in the greed and avarice of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act consummated in an orgy of mercantile swine money-flu with the signature of President William Jefferson Clinton, and culminating with the “Ownership Society” nonsense of President George W. Bush. The failure of all of these Presidents, whether by design or a National Education Association mental impairment, is that government can not create capital without consequences nor expand the perceived right to own a home without defrauding the taxpayer at some point in the process. Alas, here we are with an imitation 19 year old hooker sitting in front of the very pigs that have helped to expand the government trough on behalf of the Republicans and Democrats in a sick, perverted and grossly misguided attempt to prove that capitalism can not survive without the power of the people or influence of the elitists who know better.
The stories started to circulate with the expansion of the housing boom in 2005 where illegal aliens were obtaining financing for home mortgages (See: Illegal Aliens and the Mortgage Mess by Michelle Malkin, NY Post 9/24/08 & Mortgages for Illegal Immigrants Business Week July 30, 2007), credit was extended to anyone with a credit score above 12, and home equity loans were handed out like, well, government grants to community organizers. The problem is that once subprime, or substandard mortgages, were issued to normally unqualified applicants, banksters realized that thanks to securitization of those loans they could dump the problem on willing investors (aka “dupes”) overseas who were convinced that because a rating agency or mega-bankster said “our AAA is as good as the government” then loaning money borrowed at 1% from the Fed at 5% to Speedy Gonzalez or the local 7-11 bag boy making $6.37 per hour was a win-win situation.
Then of course February of 2007 hit and I won’t rehash that again because God forbid we recite history, facts or anything else that might upset WALNUT, CASHEW, ACORN, or some other agency that comes out of the wood work to call me racist because I do not agree home ownership is a “right” (where in the Constitution again?). After the collapse accelerated and all these banksters started to fail, the very same people who created the mess elected to find a perfectly logical solution to the issue by attacking it head on:
Dump it on the taxpayer and go back to the very same ‘Community Organizers’ that determined these people deserved and were qualified for a mortgage to fix the mess.
Thus we see organizations like ACORN and many others, plus subsidiaries and “debt negotiation” companies (owned by the very same banksters who started this mess) creating programs and attempting to help the same people who should never have received a loan in the first place, to renegotiate a 50 year refinancing agreement that they can fail on next year after the election and thus force more taxpayers to fund more programs to insure they don’t lose a home, car, credit card or pet turtle named Wally they bought with credit they were not qualified for.
Ugh.
Thus once everyone realizes the futility in telling people they have to have kids to pay for their parents financing agreements hits home and the parents realize that Socialism really cures it all, the banksters get to keep their profits, the community organizers get to enforce pograms and the taxpayers are told to shut up and support the ‘less fortunate’ because it is their duty to help the state and keep the peace within our new happy hyperinflationary society.
So Glenn, with all do respect, all your ACORN story did was open up an old wound.
If anyone in their right mind thinks the actors who were in the video are not symptoms of a larger problem, well, bleat on and enjoy your cud. The reality is that ACORN and numerous other groups receiving taxpayer funding plus banksters given incentives to do so loaned out hundreds of billions of dollars that will never be paid back. Then the same banksters leveraged that up in the grand world derivatives casino knowing that by making it so large, so complex and so deadly all the parties involved knew they would pocket the gains and dump the risk and ultimate losses on the American people.
The lesson of this is simple:
Get government out of our capitalist system or face the consequences when the hybrid system collapses.
Too bad the lesson is missed on those in power and the problems will be endured by the people for over a decade or more.
Stimulus Bill “Gives Authority” of nation’s broadcast and information ‘infrastructure’ to government.
American Spectator February 16, 2009
Senior FCC staff working for acting Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps held meetings last week with policy and legislative advisers to House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman to discuss ways the committee can create openings for the FCC to put in place a form of the “Fairness Doctrine” without actually calling it such.
Waxman is also interested, say sources, in looking at how the Internet is being used for content and free speech purposes. “It’s all about diversity in media,” says a House Energy staffer, familiar with the meetings.
“Does one radio station or one station group control four of the five most powerful outlets in one community? Do four stations in one region carry Rush Limbaugh, and nothing else during the same time slot? Does one heavily trafficked Internet site present one side of an issue and not link to sites that present alternative views? These are some of the questions the chairman is thinking about right now, and we are going to have an FCC that will finally have the people in place to answer them.”
Copps will remain acting chairman of the FCC until President Obama’s nominee, Julius Genachowski, is confirmed, and Copps has been told by the White House not create “problems” for the incoming chairman by committing to issues or policy development before the Obama pick arrives.
But Copps has been a supporter of putting in place policies that would allow the federal government to have greater oversight over the content that TV and radio stations broadcast to the public, and both the FCC and Waxman are looking to licensing and renewal of licensing as a means of enforcing “Fairness Doctrine” type policies without actually using the hot-button term “Fairness Doctrine.”
One idea Waxman’s committee staff is looking at is a congressionally mandated policy that would require all TV and radio stations to have in place “advisory boards” that would act as watchdogs to ensure “community needs and opinions” are given fair treatment. Reports from those advisory boards would be used for license renewals and summaries would be reviewed at least annually by FCC staff.
Waxman and the FCC staff are also said to be looking at ways to ease the “consumer complaint” process, which could also be used along with the advisory boards.
The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also looking at how it can put in place policies that would allow it greater oversight of the Internet.
“Internet radio is becoming a big deal, and we’re seeing that some web sites are able to control traffic and information, while other sites that may be of interest or use to citizens get limited traffic because of the way the people search and look for information,” says on committee staffer. “We’re at very early stages on this, but the chairman has made it clear that oversight of the Internet is one of his top priorities.”
“This isn’t just about Limbaugh or a local radio host most of us haven’t heard about,” says Democrat committee member. “The FCC and state and local governments also have oversight over the Internet lines and the cable and telecom companies that operate them. We want to get alternative views on radio and TV, but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, which is becoming increasingly video and audio driven. Thanks to the stimulus package, we’ve established that broadband networks — the Internet — are critical, national infrastructure.
Of course what that means folks, is that because they shoved money in the Marxist Stimulus bill to give greater oversight of internet, radio and cable lines – which means they think the government NOW OWNS them.
In essense, the government has nationalized all information, and are going to decide for us, what we are allowed to hear, read and see.
”
We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure.”
Also involved in “brainstorming” on “Fairness Doctrine and online monitoring has been the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, which has published studies pressing for the Fairness Doctrine, as well as the radical MoveOn.org, which has been speaking to committee staff about policies that would allow them to use their five to six million person database to mobilize complaints against radio, TV or online entities they perceive to be limiting free speech or limiting opinion.
Tyranny is coming fast and furious folks.
By the time a majority wake up, it’s going to be too late to do anything about it.
The U.S. Department of Justice and Environmental Protection Agency filed a lawsuit Friday against Norfolk Southern for the toxic train wreck February in East Palestine, Ohio.
Several media outlets including CNN, The Washington Post and The Los Angeles Times are circling the wagons to defend the embattled social media app TikTok.
I know that all of these places andall of these people are part of the battlefield ,not just because I am a soldier, and have experienced a few battlefields in my day; but also because our President declares that even our own homes are on the battlefield, whether we wish them to be or not, and I have no choice but to believe him; it’s not just that the NDAA passed – a battlefield is not defined by law; it’s the profound build-up of martial power and resources across my once-great nation which tells me a battle is being prepared here. Over two billion rounds of ammunition procured by DHS and its sub-agencies in the past 18 months, plus machine guns in the tens of thousands, armored vehicles, combat aircraft, drones, and other implements of war being staged throughout our nation, our home – how do you explain that except as the preparation for battle?
I will fight not because I desire it, but because I cannot justify any other course of action – when the enemy attacks, you must fight – you must kill or you will die.
