White House
Pays $53 Million for Voter ID in Kenya While Opposing Same in US - Hypocrite in
Chief
Ever since Obama stole the 2008 election with rampant
voter fraud, Republicans have been trying to pass laws that require a photo ID
in order to vote. President Obama, and his puppet, Attorney General Eric
Holder have fought against every one of those voter ID laws. They claim
that they discriminate against poor black voters that are not able to obtain a
valid identification card, even though they are able to obtain enough ID to get
welfare and food stamps. In August 2012, White
House Press Secretary Jay Carney supported Obama’s stance against voter ID when
he said:
“And
on the voter ID case, I can tell you that, as you know, this administration
believes it should be easier for eligible citizens to vote – to register and
vote. We should not be imposing unnecessary obstacles or barriers to voter
participation.”
In a typical case of Obama hypocrisy, we learn that
the US government gave the Kenyan government $53 million to help fund a program
called ‘My ID My Life.’ The program assists the younger generation to
obtain National identification cards. Kenyan law requires that all
citizens have the national ID cards before they are allowed to register to
vote. Supposedly, the program helped to get over 500,000 people
registered to vote prior the Kenyan elections held in March of this year. So how does Obama and his cronies justify paying millions of dollars,
that we don’t have, to help Kenyans get ID cards that are necessary for voter
registration while at the same time legally challenging similar programs and
laws here in the US?
Journalist and Senior
Fellow with the American Civil Rights Union, Robert Knight is asking the same
question when he told OneNewsNow: “The irony is that the president is
using taxpayer dollars to promote something in Africa that he is actively
suppressing in the United States, and calling people names who are promoting
that very thing.” “This is an administration, you understand, whose Justice
Department struck down voter ID laws in South Carolina and Texas just before
the 2012 elections and has said over and over that states that are trying to
require photo ID are motivated solely by political bias.”

What Can You
Do Now As An American Citizen? by Bob Livingston
The first answer is to recognize and realize that the
government, with all of its propaganda and police power, is at war with the
American people. The fact that most
Americans are totally oblivious to all-out war against their way of life, their
savings and their retirement assets doesn’t change a thing. Governments always
silently make war on their own citizens behind a propaganda front so as to
alert as few people as possible. The less resistance the better.
One of the fastest ways
to clear the mental fog is to realize that the two-party political system is
only one. Anyone clinging to the illusion will be deceived to their grave.
America has become a fascist state, and the whole Congress supports the agenda
of the state. Any dissent is frivolous and transparent. We could turn the clock
back toward human liberty by doing one simple thing: limiting the terms of
Representatives and Senators to just one, with no pensions. Also, they should
be put on Social Security and receive the same medical benefits as the American
people! There should be no privilege associated with elected office. Of
course, this will not happen; the entire government is infested with
psychopaths who will not relinquish any of their accumulated power.
Americans are under the
strain of great financial repression. Interest rates are not high enough to
cover inflation, let alone provide an income for seniors. Millions of seniors
are living out of their savings instead of earnings on their savings. There is
no riskless way to generate income. The powerful, rich and well-connected
politicians in America all use the dysfunctional political system and the
money-printing central banks to their every advantage. The U.S.
reckless system has created an enormous economic and political mess. The scene now
reminds one of vultures flocking around a carcass. Nothing can or will be
corrected now. All that anyone in power can suggest now is more money printing.
Psychopathic
I mentioned above and
have said before that the U.S. government is run by and inhabited by
psychopaths. Psychopathic by definition is a personality disorder characterized
by shallow emotions with reduced fear and lack of empathy. Also, psychopaths
exhibit cold-heartedness, egocentricity, superficial charm and criminality.
They are manipulative, irresponsible and impulsive. They are antisocial, they
lack remorse, and they are attracted to a parasitic lifestyle. We think that
most Representatives and Senators are psychopaths. Lawyers are the second most
psychopathic profession. Most Representatives and Senators are lawyers.
Governments attract psychopaths because these people have tremendous greed and
they see government as a means of free riches and aggrandizement. No matter how
much they steal or how many evil laws they pass, they believe that they do good
and that they have “clean hands.” They have every opportunity for corruption.
They believe that their constituency is a milk cow to use and abuse.
If placed before a firing
squad, they would profess no wrongdoing but their own persecution. These
government politicians are depraved. But they don’t know that they are
psychopaths.
More traits of government

·
They don’t like the U.S.
Constitution.
·
They don’t like guns in
the hands of the people.
·

Obama's
global-warming folly by Charles Krauthammer
The economy stagnates. Syria burns. Scandals lap at his
feet. China and Russia mock him, even as a “29-year-old hacker” revealed his
nation’s spy secrets to the world. How does President Obama respond? With a
grandiloquent speech on climate change. Climate change? It lies at the very bottom of a list of Americans’
concerns (last of 21 — Pew poll). Which means that Obama’s declaration of unilateral
American war on global warming, whatever the cost — and it will be heavy — is
either highly visionary or hopelessly solipsistic. You decide: Global temperatures
have been flat for 16 years — a curious time to unveil a grand, hugely
costly, socially disruptive anti-warming program.
Now, this inconvenient
finding is not dispositive. It doesn’t mean there is no global warming.
But it is something that the very complex global warming models that Obama
naively claims represent settled science have trouble explaining. It therefore
highlights the president’s presumption in dismissing skeptics as flat-earth
know-nothings. On the contrary. It’s flat-earthers like Obama who
refuse to acknowledge the problematic nature of contradictory data. It’s
flat-earthers like Obama who cite a recent Alaskan heat wave — a freak event in
one place at one time — as presumptive evidence of planetary climate change.
It’s flat-earthers like Obama who cite perennial phenomenon such as droughts as
cosmic retribution for environmental sinfulness.
For the sake of argument,
nonetheless, let’s concede that global warming is precisely what Obama thinks
it is. Then answer this: What in God’s name is his massive new regulatory
and spending program — which begins with a war on coal and ends with billions
in more subsidies for new Solyndras — going to do about it? The U.S.
has already radically cut carbon dioxide emissions — more than any
country on earth since 2006, according to the International Energy Agency.
Emissions today are back down to 1992 levels. And yet, at the
same time, global emissions have gone up. That’s because — surprise! — we don’t
control the energy use of the other 96 percent of humankind.
At the heart of Obama’s program are EPA regulations that
will make it impossible to open any new coal plant and will systematically shut
down existing plants. “Politically, the White House is hesitant to say they’re
having a war on coal,” explained one of Obama’s climate advisers. “On the other
hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.” Net effect: tens of thousands of
jobs killed, entire states impoverished. This at a time of chronically and
crushingly high unemployment, slow growth, jittery markets and deep economic
uncertainty.
But that’s not the worst
of it. This massive self-sacrifice might be worthwhile if it did actually
stop global warming and save the planet. What makes the whole idea nuts is that
it won’t. This massive self-inflicted economic wound will have no effect on
climate change. The have-nots are rapidly industrializing. As we speak,
China and India together are opening one new coal plant every week. We
can kill U.S. coal and devastate coal country all we want, but the
industrializing Third World will more than make up for it. The net effect of
the Obama plan will simply be dismantling the U.S. coal industry for shipping
abroad.
To think we will get
these countries to cooperate is sheer fantasy. We’ve been negotiating
climate treaties for 20 years and gotten exactly nowhere. China, India
and the other rising and modernizing countries point out that the West had a
150-year industrial head start that made it rich. They are still poor. And now,
just as they are beginning to get rich, we’re telling them to stop dead in
their tracks?
Fat chance. Obama
imagines he’s going to cajole China into a greenhouse-gas emissions reduction
that will slow its economy, increase energy costs, derail industrialization and
risk enormous social unrest. This from a president who couldn’t even get China
to turn over one Edward Snowden to U.S. custody. I’m not against a
global pact to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Indeed, I favor it. But
in the absence of one — and there is no chance of getting one in the
foreseeable future — there is no point in America committing economic suicide
to no effect on climate change, the reversing of which, after all, is the
alleged point of the exercise.
For a president to
propose this with such aggressive certainty is incomprehensible. It is the
starkest of examples of belief that is impervious to evidence. And the word for
that is faith, not science.

Only 47% of
Adults Have Full-Time Job by Mike Flynn
The release of the June Jobs' Report Friday was
something of a relief for the markets. The Labor Department reported that the
economy gained 195,000 jobs in June, which beat economists' expectations. The
Department also reported that the economy gained 70,000 more jobs in April and
May than it originally estimated. The report, however, also provides clear
evidence that the nation is splitting into two; only 47% of Americans have a
full-time job and those who don't are finding it increasingly out of
reach. Of the 144 million
Americans employed last month, only 116 million were working full-time.
Friday's report showed that 58.7% of the civilian adult population of 245
million was working last month. Only 47% of Americans, however, had a full-time
job. The market's positive reaction to Friday's report is another sign of
how far our economic expectations have fallen. If today the same
proportion of Americans worked as just a decade ago, there would be almost 9
million more people working. Just in the last year, almost 2 million
Americans have left the labor force. With a majority of the population
not holding a full-time job, it isn't surprising that economic growth has been
so weak. In June, the number of Americans who wanted to work
full-time, but were forced into part-time jobs because of the economy, jumped
352,000 to over 8 million. The Jobs' Report is increasingly
measuring only a part of the American economy. While Friday's report
was better than expected, it only measures those who are working or actively
looking for work. There is a growing number of Americans slipping through
the cracks of the job market.

More
Americans View Blacks As Racist Than Whites, Hispanics
Americans consider blacks
more likely to be racist than whites and Hispanics in this country. Thirty-seven
percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist,
according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15%
consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of
most Hispanic Americans. There is a huge ideological difference
on this topic. Among conservative Americans, 49% consider most blacks racist,
and only 12% see most whites that way. Among liberal voters, 27% see most white
Americans as racist, and 21% say the same about black Americans. From a
partisan perspective, 49% of Republicans see most black Americans as racist,
along with 36% of unaffiliated adults and 29% of Democrats. Among black
Americans, 31% think most blacks are racist, while 24% consider most
whites racist and 15% view most Hispanics that way. Among white adults, 10%
think most white Americans are racist; 38% believe most blacks are racist, and
17% say most Hispanics are racist. Overall, just 30% of all Americans now rate
race relations in the United States as good or excellent. Fourteen percent (14%)
describe them as poor. Twenty-nine percent (29%) think race relations are
getting better, while 32% believe they are getting worse. Thirty-five
percent (35%) feel they are staying about the same.

‘They Burned
the Children Alive’: Islamic Militants Massacre 29 Students and 1 Teacher at
Nigeria Boarding School by Madeleine Morgenstern
POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) —
Islamic militants attacked a boarding school in northeast Nigeria before dawn
Saturday, killing 29 students and one teacher. Some of the pupils were burned
alive in the latest school attack blamed on a radical terror group, survivors
said. Parents screamed in anguish as they tried to identify the charred and
gunshot victims. Farmer Malam Abdullahi found the bodies of two of his sons, a
10-year-old shot in the back as he apparently tried to run away, and a
12-year-old shot in the chest. “That’s it, I’m taking my other boys out of
school,” he told The Associated Press as he wept over the two corpses. He said
he had three younger children in a nearby school. “It’s not safe,” he said.
“The gunmen are attacking schools and there is no protection for students
despite all the soldiers.”
Survivors at the Potiskum
General Hospital and its mortuary said gunmen attacked Government Secondary
School in Mamudo village, 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Potiskum town at about 3
a.m. Saturday. The gunmen are believed to be from the Boko Haram sect whose
name means “Western education is sacrilege.” They killed 29 students and an
English teacher Mohammed Musa, who was shot in the chest according to another
teacher, Ibrahim Abdu. “We were sleeping when we heard gunshots. When I woke
up, someone was pointing a gun at me,” said 15-year-old Musa Hassan. He put his
arm up in defense, and suffered a gunshot that blew off all four fingers on his
right hand, the one he uses to write with. He said the gunmen came armed with
jerry cans of fuel that they used to torch the school’s administrative block
and one of the hostels. “They burned the children alive,” he said, the
horror showing in his wide eyes. He and teachers at the morgue said dozens of
children from the 1,200-student school escaped into the bush but have not been
seen since. Another act of compassion from the peace loving Islamist!

Parts of
Obamacare Delayed To Hide Truth & Save Elections by Frank Camp
Plato said: “Knowledge without justice ought to be called
cunning rather than wisdom…. [and] Cunning…is but the low mimic of wisdom.”
Cunning is the name of
the game in politics. Really—whatever you call it—the savvy necessary to thrive
in politics is extraordinary, and can become quite dangerous. Unfortunately,
cunning is often linked with high intelligence, but that skews the idea of what
intelligence truly is. One does need to be intelligent to be cunning,
but one does not need to have wisdom. And without wisdom, intelligence
can be hazardous.
This is the case with
many politicians: they are often cunning, and bright, but lacking in wisdom.
Barack Obama is one of—if not the most—cunning politician I have seen
since Bill Clinton. He successfully implemented a takeover of one sixth
of our economy within his first term. His design, of a two-class nation and an
elimination of the middle class, is coming quickly to fruition.
Unfortunately for him, more and more details are coming out about Obamacare,
and the costs associated with it. This is such an alarming situation, that the
Obama administration and the Democrats are scrambling to do damage control. One
detail that has gotten particular attention is the way in which businesses are
having to deal with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Businesses
are reducing employee hours and discussing penalties in anticipation of the
2014 Obamacare slam. The effects of Obamacare on businesses will be
staggering, leading to millions of people losing health insurance. In addition
to this, the effects on private insurance will force many Americans off their
health plans, due to skyrocketing costs.
Now, the Democrats need
all the help they can get in terms of the 2014 mid-term elections. Among the
numerous scandals plaguing the White House, and the overall dissatisfaction
with the current political environment, it seems as though Democrats might take
a beating next year. In light of that fact, it was clear that Obama had to do
something to save face. It is his responsibility to help keep as many Senate
and House seats in the hands of Democrats in 2014.
According to Time:
“The
Obama Administration announced on Tuesday that it is delaying implementing a
key component of the Affordable Care Act for a year following complaints from
the private sector about reporting requirements…The so-called employer mandate,
which penalizes employers with more than 50 employees if they fail to provide a
minimum standard of affordable health insurance, was set to kick in in 2014,
but now will take effect in 2015, the Treasury Department announced…”
Call me a cynic, but
delaying this increasingly unpopular piece of legislation that will cost
millions of Americans their insurance seems like it was specifically done to
save the Democrats in the 2014 mid-term elections. In fact, don’t even
call me a cynic—it’s just the obvious truth of the matter. Wisdom would
dictate that if legislation is unpopular, if it had such a dramatically bad
effect on the economy and the American people at large, one should trash it. But
trashing Obamacare doesn’t follow the administration’s plan to create a
two-class system. Obama doesn’t possess wisdom, so he must use cunning to
undermine the American people, and advance his own agenda. Cunning is a
weak, poisonous version of intelligence. Don’t believe Obama. Don’t
believe the excuses for the shift from 2014 to 2015. He is a flat out
manipulator, and a liar. Obamacare will be a disaster, no matter how long
we have to wait for it.

US Gov’t
Stockpiling Weapons, Ammo, And…Requesting 15,000 Russian Troops? by Chris Graham
This is news that should
cause every American, even those who consider themselves apolitical, to cock
their heads to the side like a bunch of confused terriers and say,
"Holy...," "What the...," or some variation thereof. It
begins with what is known in Russia as the Ministry of the Russian Federation
for Affairs for Civil Defense, Emergencies, and Elimination of Consequences of
Natural Disasters, or, as it's known internationally, the Emergency Control
Ministry (EMERCOM). It was created in 1994 by Russian President Boris Yeltsin
and has a whole range of duties, which you can read about on its Wikipedia page
or at its own website, but the point is that it is a legitimate agency in
Russia and not a fantastical delusion conceived in the overactive imaginations
of Internet conspiracy theorists.
Well, a new report by
EMERCOM states that Janet Napolitano of the United States Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) has requested that, according to The European Union
Times, "at least 15,000 Russian troops trained in disaster relief
and 'crowd functions' [i.e. riot control] be pre-positioned to respond to FEMA
Region III during an unspecified 'upcoming' disaster." The Russian troops
were requested to be reserved to work "directly and jointly" with the
Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA is a branch of the DHS. (Here is a
map of FEMA
Region III. Note that Washington, D.C., the heart of the country, where a
lot of protests occur, is a part of that region.)
The DHS, of course, is
the agency of the federal government that over the last year has purchased riot
gear, armored vehicles, and 2 billion rounds of ammunition, without
explanation. Juxtaposed with this news of the DHS's request for Russian
soldiers to be prepared to "help us" in a time of emergency, it kind
of makes one come to reason that this stockpiling of bullets and riot gear has
been for the Russian troops. I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, which
is probably what a conspiracy theorist would say if he wanted people to listen
to him. But EMERCOM is internationally recognized; they are not publishers of
tabloids, but an actual division of the Russian government. I'd love to hear
theories, even from the liberals reading this, as to why the Obama administration
has requested 15,000 Russian troops to come to D.C. at some point. Whatever the
reason is, it is obviously an event that the US government is planning. So what
are they preparing for?

Obama
Funding Radical Islam Through Egypt by Frank Camp
Albert Einstein said: “Weakness of attitude becomes
weakness of character.” I would switch that idea around, and say that weakness
of character begets weakness of attitude.
Without solid character, one does not have the correct attitude to lead. In
order to be a leader of men, one must have a firm grip on the reality in which
we live. One must understand when it is time to act, when it is time to withdraw,
and when it is time to stand still. When one does not possess firm
character, major judgment calls can become difficult, and be made
irresponsibly. I’ll be outright and say it: Obama does not possess firm
character. That is why—over the course of his administration—we have seen him
make so many poor decisions. He has continuously made choices that
benefit only him and his Party. Those choices have done massive damage to the
American economy, to our foreign policy, and to the American people at large.
One particular choice
made by Obama about which I was particularly leery was his decision to continue
to send billions of dollars in aid to Egypt following the election of Mohammed
Morsi. Morsi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood—a group of radical Islamists.
There were reports that some of his opponents were being executed
following his election, and reports of extreme Christian persecution. In
addition, Morsi has swiftly consolidated power, taking it from the judicial
system and giving to himself. Just as a reference, Morsi is the man who
reportedly said this: “They [non-Muslims] need to know that conquest is
coming, that Egypt will be Islamic, and they must pay jizya or emigrate.” And
this: “The Koran is our Constitution, the prophet is our leader, jihad is
our path, and death in the name of Allah is our goal.”
Even if these quotes are
exaggerated or fabricated entirely (I don’t think they are), the fact still
remains that he was a very involved member of the Muslim Brotherhood—a group of
radical Islamists.
Once Morsi was elected,
and began becoming despotic, we should have cut off all aid to Egypt. However,
that was not the case. It is only now—because of the popular and
military uprising—that Obama is considering cutting off aid. It is US law
that aid must be cut off when a coup takes place; however, we have been
providing cash to Egypt for decades, regardless of the circumstances. So, at
the risk of sounding like a crazy conspiracy theorist, I ask the question: Why?
Why cut off aid now,
rather than before? Why continue to provide a radical Islamist leader with US
money? Why not support this uprising, like he supported the last one
that brought Morsi to power?
Barack Obama is not—I
repeat—not a Muslim. That does not mean, however, that he does
not support radical Islam. Obama is a secular humanist, pretending to be
a Christian. At best, he’s an agnostic. It is important to know where he stands
in regard to Islam, and his own spirituality—or lack thereof—because it informs
his decisions politically. All of the questions I asked need to be
answered. But more than that, without answering a single question, Obama
is demonstrating an extraordinary weakness of judgment. This weakness of
judgment shows a weakness of character.
Were I to read Obama’s
mind, I might see two things: fear and opportunity. Obama may be afraid of
radical Islam in Egypt. He might be so afraid, that he is willing to back the
Muslim Brotherhood over a more secular government because he fears retaliation
if he does not. The other option is opportunity. He may realize that by first
backing Morsi, then turning around and backing a revolution against him,
he makes himself appear schizophrenic. It makes him look like he does not know
what he is doing in regard to foreign policy. Regardless of what is
really going on, Obama has shown a severe weakness of character. Either option
is bad for his image in one way or another. All he can do now is play catch-up:
the game of characterless men.
