Professor Patrick Pullicino (Photo: University of
Kent)
Patrick Pullicino, a professor of clinical neurosciences at the United
Kingdom’s University of Kent, has some disturbing news for terminally ill
patients within the U.K.’s healthcare system: it is that up to 130,000 patients
may have been killed before their time.
The Daily Mail reports Pullicino saying the Liverpool Care Pathway, a protocol doctors can use
when patients are not expected to recover which he likens to a “death pathway,”
was used on 29 percent of the 450,000 people who die in National Health Services
hospitals each year.
According to the Marie Curie Palliative Care
Institute, LCP is “used at the bedside to drive up sustained quality of the
dying in the last hours and days of life.” A patient’s/family member’s guide to LCP states that this
pathway could involve the following: stopping any medication that is no longer
helpful or prescribing new medication; stopping unnecessary testing; and,
depending on the situation, stopping administration of food and water.
According to a healthcare provider’s guide, LCP has been recommended in
several prominent papers and by organizations throughout the 2000s. Before
enacting LCP, a “multidisciplinary team” evaluates the patient’s situation and
all the possible options. If the patient is “diagnosed as dying” then LCP can be
enacted after communication the diagnosis to all those involved.
Pullicino though has said that too often patients could live longer before
they are put on LCP, citing the claims that they were within their last hours
and days as “palpably false.”
Here’s an example Pullicino provided to the Daily Mail:
In the example he revealed a 71-year-old who was admitted to hospital
suffering from pneumonia and epilepsy was put on the LCP by a covering doctor on
a weekend shift. Professor Pullicino said he had returned to work after a weekend to
find the patient unresponsive and his family upset because they had not agreed
to place him on the LCP. “I removed the patient from the LCP despite significant resistance,” he
said. “His seizures came under control and four weeks later he was discharged
home to his family,” he said. [...] The patient’s extra 14 months of life came at considerable cost to the
NHS and the taxpayer, Professor Pullicino indicated. He said he needed extensive support with wheelchair, ramps and
nursing. After 14 months the patient was admitted to a different hospital with
pneumonia and put on the LCP. The man died five hours
later.
To Pullicino, the lack of evidence used in some cases for initiating LCP
makes it an “assisted death pathway rather than a care pathway.” Pullicino said
that predicting someone’s last days is scientifically impossible.
The Daily Mail reports that Pullicino is not alone in his concern for LCP.
Three years ago, it states, other prominent professors and healthcare
professionals said LCP was a “backdoor” for euthanasia.
The Daily Mail does note a spokesperson within the Department of Health
saying they don’t recognize any of the figures cited by Pullicino. Life News and National Right to Life News, among
other pro-life sites, have reported on the “shocking” claims made by Pullicino. Life News reports
American bioethicist Wesley Smith saying this only serves to who that the U.K.’s
National Health Service is collapsing and is “only going to get worse.”
Ron Paul‘s Lesson on the Benefits of Freedom Stuns ’Morning Joe’ Panel
During an early morning interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Ron
Paul tried to educate the Mika Brzezinski-led panel on American freedom
vs dependence on government. “Morning Joe” regular panel member Mike
Barnicle chimed in, asking Mr. Paul a curious question:
“Do you feel, in speaking to this next generation that
you just spoke of, any obligation to talk to them, perhaps instruct them
about the fact that there has been a social contract among Americans
from one generation to another to help those that need help the most?”
The Congressman and perennial Presidential candidate delivered a
clear and concise reply that started with his shooting down Barnicle’s
alleged “fact” about a social contract. (There is no such thing in our
Constitution.)
And then, the interview took on a more confrontational tone as
another MSNBC regular, Sam Stein of the Huffington Post asked Ron Paul
if and why he takes Social Security checks. Mr. Paul answered by
educating Stein that there is a difference between something like Food
Stamps and Social Security.
Watch the exchange, including Brzezinski’s abrupt ending of the segment:
EDITOR'S NOTE... I KNOW A LOT OF YOU DON'T LIKE SOME OF RON PAUL'S POLICIES.. BUT AS A "OLD FART", I THINK HE SPELL OUT SOME OF THE CHANGES NEEDED BETTER THAN ANYONE IN CONGRESS.. SHUT THEM DOWN.. LOCK THE BORDERS.. YEA, I KNOW HE BRINGS PORK BACK TO TEXAS.. THAT'S WHO ELECTED HIM , DUMMIES.. WHERE IT SHOULD GO.. ? ? ? BH

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – With great fanfare, President Obama signed Executive
Order 13519 on Nov. 17, 2009, establishing a Financial Fraud Enforcement
Task Force to be led by Attorney General Eric Holder with the aim of prosecuting
fraud and recovering assets in the economic debacle that began one year
earlier. In 2010, the Mortgage Fraud Working Group organized under the
executive order issued its first annual report, boasting that the number of
mortgage fraud defendants charged by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices more than
doubled from 526 in fiscal year 2009 to 1,235 in fiscal year 2010. A similar
increase was reported in the number of mortgage fraud cases charged, going from
267 in 2009 to 656 in 2010.
However, WND research has demonstrated that the mortgage fraud cases pursued
by Holder’s Department of Justice have typically targeted homeowners charged
with making fraudulent loan applications. Largely ignored are the financial
institutions that made the loans and prominent Democrat donors and colleagues of
Obama administration officials.
High friends in high places
As WND
has previously reported, Holder has overlooked possibly fraudulent “loan to
own” equity recapitalization loans Credit Suisse made to some 15 or more luxury
resorts or to various principles involved in the transactions, including
supermarket billionaire Ron Burkle, a long-time Democratic Party operative with
a history of providing financial support to top Democrats, including Bill and
Hillary Clinton. WND
has also reported that Credit Suisse is a client of the Washington-based law
firm that Holder left as a partner to become attorney general and Lanny Breuer
left as a partner to head of the Justice Department criminal division under
Holder.
The firm, Covington & Burling, represents “a Who’s Who of big banks and
other companies at the center of alleged foreclosure fraud,” Reuters
reported Jan. 20.
In addition to Credit Suisse, they include Bank of America, Citibank, JP
Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo & Co. and at least one other bank among the top 10
largest mortgage servicers.
Holder prosecutes mom and pop
On Feb 19, 2011, New York Times
Op-Ed writer Joe Nocera lamented that Holder and the Justice Department had
decided not to prosecute Angelo R. Mozilo, the high-flying former CEO of
Countrywide Financial, one of the mortgage lending firms most responsible for
the continuing mortgage crisis.
“Hundreds of billions of dollars have been lost by investors while millions
of borrowers have lost their homes,” Nocera wrote, recalling that Mozilo sold
$140 million in Countrywide stock while his company was failing. “Few of the
people who ran the institutions that contributed to the disaster have been found
liable.”
Convinced Engle was understating his taxes, Nordlander resorted to a dumpster
dive for records Engle may have thrown away, unwilling to believe that all Engle
earned from the documentary was $30,000.
Still unsatisfied, Nordlander hired an attractive female undercover agent to
meet Engle and see if she could entice him into making admissions.
Engle’s crime, for which Holder’s U.S. Attorneys sent him to prison as a
felon, was that he took out a “liar loan,” overstating his income.
“Charlie has always insisted that he never filled out the loan document – his
mortgage broker did it, and he was actually a victim of mortgage fraud,” Nocera
wrote in yet another editorial on Richard Engle, published June 1, in which
he noted the broker later pleaded guilty to another mortgage fraud.
“Indeed, according to a recent court filing by Charlie’s lawyer, the
government failed to turn over exculpatory evidence that could have helped
Charlie prove his innocence.”
Nocera’s conclusion: “For whatever inexplicable reason, prosecutors really
wanted to nail Charlie Engle. And they did.”
Another “small fry” touted by the DOJ in November 2009 as part of a Holder
surge in mortgage fraud prosecutions was
Lakeisha Gates.
In 2007, Gates worked as a clerk at a small brokerage firm in St. Petersburg,
Fla. Allegedly at the behest of the owners of the firm, Gretchen and Eric Scott,
Gates acted as the nominee purchaser at grossly inflated values for two
properties the Scotts owned. She misrepresented on the loan application that she
made $5,000 per month as the vice president of a catering company. Gates obtained a mortgage for $300,000, which soon defaulted. For her
participation in the deal, Gates earned $10,000. She pleaded guilty to federal mortgage fraud charges and agreed to testify
against the Scotts, who she said put her up to it. The Scotts were charged with
a conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. When the Mortgage Fraud Working Group boasts of prosecuting mortgage fraud,
the cases typically involve individual borrowers who had lied or otherwise
committed fraud by obtaining mortgages on one or more properties. Those the Obama administration allows to walk free are the likes of Angelo
Mozilo, who built an empire making highly inflated mortgages based on
questionable appraisals to lenders who were never properly credit-qualified.
Mozilo amassed a fortune that enabled him to pay a
$67.5 million fine to settle Securities and Exchange Commission fraud
charges without appreciably denting his massive net worth.
WND has previously reported
how Countrywide Financial Group gave preferential “friends of Angelo Mozilo”
loans to Democrats Franklin Raines and James Johnson, who each made millions
personally while holding executive positions in Fannie Mae amid the
irresponsible mortgage activities each directed to the ultimate detriment of the
taxpayer.
Nocera’s
conclusion was that the Justice Department has taken after “the smallest of
small fry – and then trumpeted these prosecutions of how tough it is on mortgage
fraud.” He wrote: “It is a shameful way for the government to act.”
‘The fix is in’
WND
has previously reported that Edra Blixseth, the former spouse of Tim
Blixseth, the founder of Yellowstone Club, has teamed with Ron Burkle, the
supermarket billionaire who was a major donor to Hillary Clinton in her 2008
presidential campaign.
Mike Flynn, attorney for Tim Blixseth, has explained to WND his reasons for
believing Burkle used his political connections with Holder and Breuer to quash
criminal investigations regarding Edra Blixseth.
“The Holder/Breuer-controlled Justice Department quashed the entire
investigation; they declared the Yellowstone Club ‘off limits,’ and even the
‘connected’ bankruptcy judge Ralph Kirscher, who declared Edra exonerated and
discharged from all liability,” Flynn told WND.
“The Holder DOJ and Judge Kirscher made the decisions to sweep away the
pending Montana Yellowstone Club investigation and proposed indictment of Edra
Blixseth in the face of the documented, irrefutable evidence,” he said.
Flynn provided WND evidence of a series of questionable loans and various
financing attempts to gain ownership of the Yellowstone Club at prices deeply
under market undertaken by Edra Blixseth, beginning in June 2007. The
transactions resulted in millions of dollars of defaulted loans. Meanwhile,
Blixseth, Burkle, various hedge fund investors and Credit Suisse ended up owning
the Yellowstone Club for under $10 million.
“Some of the loan documents, Edra Blixseth used to commit this massive fraud
or so grossly false on their face for tens of millions of dollars, that it makes
the Edra Blixseth case appear to be a cover-up resulting from rank cronyism or
worse,” Flynn said.
Flynn told WND his office provided the Obama-appointed Montana U.S. Attorney
with documentary evidence proving that while Edra Blixseth was signing perjured
loan documents with banks, she was contemporaneously signing sealed affidavits
in her divorce reciting the opposite of what she was stating to the banks – in
both instances to obtain millions of dollars in her divorce and tens of millions
from the banks.
“Tens of millions of dollars of the Edra Blixseth loans have never been paid
to creditors or accounted for,” Flynn said.
“Burke and Sam Byrne of the Boston-based hedge fund CrossHarbor Capital
Parthers have ended up with $800 million in Blixseth assets, while the
Democratic bankruptcy judge has swept all the documentary evidence under the
rug.Judge Kirscher has discharged Edra Blixseth, and the Holder/Breuer DOJ has
quashed all criminal investigation as ‘off limits.’”
In order to become President, Barack Obama had to swear to preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution. But three years later, I am disgusted with the
disregard that the President continues to show to our Constitution.Has he
forgotten about the separation of executive, judicial and legislative branches
found in our founding document? Our founders gave us a system of checks and
balances so that one person could never seize more power than was provided in
the Constitution. President Obama’s actions demonstrate that he thinks he’s above the law. When
he doesn’t get his way, he creates new policies to his liking.
Under Obamacare, an even playing field doesn’t exist for businesses. And
President Obama must have recognized that, because he ordered his Health and
Human Services Secretary to provide waivers from the healthcare overhaul.
Unions, universities and restaurants in Nancy Pelosi’s district received waivers
so that they didn’t have to comply with the law.
Then we have the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Passed in 1996, DOMA is a
federal law that defines marriage as being between one man and one woman. But
earlier this spring, the administration said it will no longer defend the
constitutionally of DOMA. So even though this law is on the books – passed by
Congress and signed into law by President Clinton – President Obama just thinks
we should ignore it.
Last week Obama threw the Constitution out the window again. Even through
Congress disagreed, the President was happy to circumvent the Constitution in
order to protect younger illegal immigrants from deportation and hand them work
permits. He stands resolute in this position despite the fact that, a year
prior, the President said this about immigration: “Some people want me to bypass
Congress and change the laws on my own.” He continued, “That’s not how our
system works. That’s not how our democracy functions. That’s not how our
Constitution is written.” Today, President Obama invoked executive privilege so Attorney General Eric
Holder wouldn’t have to turn over documents on Fast and Furious. That is not
what executive privilege was intended for!
Where will the madness end? When will the President stop blatantly
disregarding the Constitution?
Sadly, I don’t think this President cares that he is ignoring the laws of our
land. Nor, does he plan to curb his agenda. In fact, I expect things to only
grow worse under this President. Thanks to an open mic in March, President Obama
was caught telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he will have “more
flexibility” in his second term.
The future of our country depends on making sure that the executive head of
our nation knows he is subject to our laws and that he is under the
Constitution.
Mr. President, I urge you, stop your autocratic reign; drop everything you
are doing and read the Constitution. You will be well-served to remember the
document that you swore to preserve, protect and defend.
A new era of surveillance is about to begin. It will begin at the nation’s
airports. The International Air Transport Association is determined to speed up the
lines to get checked. So, there will be a new system of surveillance.It is
being beta-rested at Love Field in Texas. That was the airport where President Kennedy landed in his final trip.
Cameras will begin scanning us in the parking garage.
We will check our luggage (fee). Then we will have our fingerprints
scanned.
This means that our fingerprints must be in at least one data base, so they
can be verified.
This will apply all over the world.
If we have carry-on luggage, we will go through an electronic tunnel. There,
we will be scanned. Supposedly, these X-ray machines will identify non-metallic objects. This will make everything speedy. This will not be extra layers of screening.
It will replace all other screening. They promise.
The machines to do this already exist. Well, not all of them. Some are in
development.
We must wait a decade, they tell us.
To speed things up, all we need to do is surrender our privacy forever. We
will get our fingerprints on file. Then we will get our irises on file.
Then everything will speed up.
No more guards asking, “Your papers, please.”
The key to speeding up checkpoints and making security less intrusive will be
to identify and assess travelers according to the risks they pose to safety in
the skies. The so-called riskiest or unknown passengers would face the toughest
scrutiny, including questioning and more sensitive electronic screening. Those
who voluntarily provide more information about themselves to the government
would be rewarded with faster passage.
What’s that? You prefer not to provide such information voluntarily? Then
it’s back to “Your papers, please.”Americans are already opting in. The TSA has
a pre-check program. A million flyers have registered.
The airlines say they could eliminate paper from ticketing if passengers
provided information as they do for PreCheck, by linking an electronic ticket to
a person’s fingerprint or iris scan.
Iris scans, which measure the colored part of the eye, are gaining visibility
worldwide. Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam began the Privium program in October
2001. It offers fliers with European passports a border passage of 10 to 15
seconds with iris scans.
In the USA, about 200,000 fliers have enrolled in the CLEAR program for
expedited screening in Denver, Orlando and San Francisco since November 2010.
Members, who answer TSA questions and provide either a fingerprint or iris scan,
pay $179 a year to breeze past ID kiosks with a special card.
Here is the goal.
“To do it right, what you’d want to do is bring somebody in, get all their
biographic information, get their biometric information, and run them through a
couple of databases to make sure they’re not a bad guy,” says James Albers,
senior vice president at MorphoTrust USA, which developed software for iris
scans. “Do they travel enough to make that worthwhile or
cost-effective?”
Once this is operational at airports, look for this in subways, at train
stations, at bus depots.
To see what is coming, read the details about what is already here: at Love
Field.
County refuses funds for Sheriff Joe's Obama probe
Arpaio's posse wants to reimburse taxpayers for Hawaii
trip
In a move described by Sheriff Joe Arpaio as political payback, the Maricopa
County, Ariz., Board of Supervisors today rejected a $5,000 reimbursement from
the sheriff’s volunteer Cold Case Posse for expenses incurred on a trip to
Hawaii to investigate Barack Obama’s presidential eligibility.
“It’s sad that they use these politics to reject money,” Arpaio told WND. “I
made the promise when I launched the investigation to do everything I can to not
use taxpayer money.”
He confirmed his Cold Case Posse team would not be deterred by any
disagreement over a donation, however. “If they want to know what’s going on, there’s a press conference in three or
four weeks,” he said.
“This is a criminal investigation,” Arpaio asserted. “You cannot have the
board of supervisors interfere with the elected sheriff’s duties and
responsibilities that he gets from the Constitution.”
The expenses incurred by the county were for a deputy who accompanied Cold
Case Posse lead investigator Mike Zullo for security purposes.
The reimbursement was rejected on a 2-2 vote, with the absence of Supervisor
Fulton Brock. The supervisors who voted to reject the funds were Mary Rose Wilcox and Don
Stapley, who both were subjects of sheriff’s investigations in the past and
filed claims alleging wrongful prosecution, explained Arpaio spokeswoman Lisa
Allen.
She said Wilcox and Stapley are hurting taxpayers and obstructing the
sheriff’s efforts to keep his promise to taxpayers that funding for the Obama
investigation be kept to a minimum. The supervisors who voted to accept the
funds were Andy Kunasek and Max Wilson.
Allen told WND that the supervisors who rejected the funds appeared to be
following the lead of Randy Parraz, an anti-Arpaio activist who has lobbied the
supervisors to oppose the sheriff.
About 30 members of Parraz’s group, Citizens for a Better Arizona, attended
the meeting today to protest. The
Arizona Republic newspaper reported the group asked the board not to accept
private donations to “back fill” the sheriff’s use of public funds.
The protesters contended the investigation was “well outside the jurisdiction
of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the duties and responsibilities of
the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
At the board meeting, Kunasek argued the supervisors and sheriff are elected
separately, and supervisors should not determine which criminal investigations
the sheriff pursues. Parraz responded at that point and yelled at Kunasek,
accusing him of wasting taxpayer money.
Posse lead investigator Zullo told WND the Hawaii trip was all business. “From my [motel] balcony I had a view of an alley, a check cashing place and
a liquor store,” he said, noting the room cost only $129 per night, a low rate
for most locations in Hawaii. He said the investigation is important because it focuses a document that
appears to be fraudulent, and people are wrongly injecting politics. He has told
his team that it doesn’t matter whose name is on the document.
“We are trying to conduct an investigation with zero cost to the taxpayers,”
he said. “They refused to take the money. We don’t understand how that helps the
taxpayers.”
Zullo said the deputy was needed on the Hawaii trip because as a sworn
officer, he was allowed to be armed, while investigators from the Cold Case
Posse, as volunteers, were not.
After the investigative trip to Hawaii, WND reported an intelligence source
who warned early last year that a
forged Obama birth record would be released now says a forged “original”
birth certificate intended to pass forensic inspection by using 1961 materials
is being prepared and could be released as an “October surprise.”
The source, who has contact with Hawaii government officials, was questioned
by Zullo, who said regardless of whether the Hawaii source’s information pans
out, he wants to see the original microfilm record of Obama’s birth.
“If they decide to try to produce a document, we’re going to be skeptical,”
he said. “We’ve been calling for the microfilm from the beginning.”
Arpaio has said he wants to see the entire roll of microfilm that contains
Obama’s birth record and submit it to court-certified forensic examiners to
determine its authenticity.
The Hawaii source said ink and paper from 1961 have been secured to create an
“original” document that would correspond with the digital copy posted on the
White House website.
As WND reported one year
ago, radical supporters of Obama openly have admitted their role in the
forging of a Kenyan Obama birth certificate.
The White House released a purported copy of Obama’s long-form birth
certificate shortly after the Drudge Report prominently leaked details of WND
Book’s then-upcoming expose “Where’s
the Birth Certificate.”
16 Years in Prison for a Video of a Police Officer Acting
Nutty
How would you feel if you had posted a video of a trooper’s improper actions
in arresting you, and you are now in court facing a 16-year prison sentence?
Be patient. It may happen to you.
It happened to Anthony Graber, a Maryland Air National Guard staff sergeant.
What did he do? He posted a video of actions by an arresting Maryland highway
patrolman.
Here is what the trooper did. He was in an unmarked car. He cut off Graber,
who was on a motorcycle. Then he approached Graber in plain clothes. He had
pulled out a gun. He was yelling.
This was before he identified himself as a law-enforcement officer.
Graber had a camera in his motorcycle helmet. He posted the video on YouTube.
The police later raided his home. They seized his computers.
Then they locked him up for 26 hours.
Then they took him to court.
They have accused him of wiretapping. Maximum sentence: 16 years.
Wiretapping? What wires?
The video constitutes a wire. Here is how the government argues. The audio
aspect of a video violates the wiretap law. Why? Because this is a private
conversation. The person with the camera/smart phone must get permission from
the officer before posting the video on YouTube.
Will this hold up in court? We don’t know.
Maybe if you get into a situation like this, you should not include the audio
portion of the video. You can summarize what you heard. Do a voice-over. We never heard what the L.A. police were saying to Rodney King as they beat
him. Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Video is great for recording
action.
The police are on the defensive. This will increase.
But they can threaten people in the meantime. They can bankrupt them with
court costs.
Barack Obama administration spending and projects in Kenya have
become so voluminous that the U.S. Agency for International Development
must hire more contractors to oversee endeavors other providers already
carry out across the African nation.
USAID in its own words admits that the “overall USAID/Kenya program
has increased rapidly and exponentially, outstripping workforce
resources available to effectively perform assessments and rigorous
analyses … track results … manage recordkeeping, and other project
development and program office functions.”
According to a Statement of Work
for the USAID/Kenya program-support initiative – which WND located
through routine database research – the agency acknowledges the level of
U.S.-financed Kenyan operations has outpaced Washington’s ability to
adequately manage it.
“All levels of personnel ceilings are constrained by a limited U.S.
government footprint in Kenya,” the SOW says. “In order to address these
constraints, certain project development and program office functions …
have been identified for delivery through external contracting.
“This group of functions will be contracted as one support activity to reduce the burden on mission staff,” the SOW continued.
USAID views with urgency its selection of a contractor, describing
the procurement as a “high-priority requirement with high visibility” at
the U.S. Mission.
The $480 million program at USAID/Kenya encompasses numerous
assistance projects in general areas such as health, population and
HIV/AIDS; basic education; youth; governing justly and democratically;
and economic growth, environment and natural resources management.
Glenn: ‘NBC has crossed the line’ with misleading coverage to support progressive agenda
The mainstream media here in America has been on the decline for
quite some time. When was the last time anyone turned on the news and
trusted the anchor to give you the truth without an agenda? It happens
all the time – most of the anchors on the nightly news are operating
with some kind of message or agenda they are trying to shove down the
throats of the American people. But no network or company has sunk to
the ethical lows of NBC and MSNBC, whose reporters are flat out lying
and distorting facts and audio tapes. Are they looking for ratings? If
so, it’s a failing strategy considering FOX News remains the number one
force in cable news and conservatives like Glenn outshine progressive
voices across all multimedia platforms wherever they appear. Are they
just shilling for the President and the progressive administration
because they don’t know any better? Whatever the case, they’ve made it
clear they have no interest in telling the truth and have decided to
just flat out lie. Glenn ran through their ugly, hateful, misleading,
hypocritical track record today on radio.
“NBC has crossed the line. You have not heard me say this ever
before. NBC has crossed the line and they are burning the bridge behind
them,” Glenn said. “You have no credibility at all. The ratings are
going to tank on NBC. Because Americans are fair.”
Glenn said that MSNBC has been headed down this road of non-reporting
for a while, but said things are now shifting into high gear. For
example, when news breaks that Obama’s dad
was not tortured by the British as he claimed in his memoirs, but does
MSNBC report on that? No, instead their weekend anchor and commentator
Melissa Harris-Perry says that African American men displaying
patriotism post-9/11 (aka wearing NYPD hats in solidarity with those who
lost their lives saving others) is a form of PTSD!
“That’s one of the most racist things I’ve ever heard. As if we’re
not supposed to be proud of the actions of the NYPD. Think about what
they did! Are you kidding me? ” Glenn said.
Meanwhile, Martin Bashir continues
to show an anti-religion undertone when attacking Mitt Romney. For
example, he allowed his guest Frank Schaeffer to attack both Mormonism
and Islamism when Schaeffer said, “Looking at the religious right you
have to balance their hatreds. Do they hate the Mormonism of Mitt
Romney more than they hate the pretended Islamic faith quote/unquote of
the president?”
“”Got it? That’s just anti‑religion. That’s not anti‑Mormon.
That’s anti‑religion. That’s anti‑God. Does the right hate Mormonism
more than Obama’s supposed Muslimism? Wow.”
“Only NBC is referring to Barack Obama constantly as a Muslim. Only
NBC. Why are you guys keeping that alive? I don’t know anybody who’s
rational that believes that he’s a Muslim. I don’t think there’s
anybody rational that believes he believes in anything but Barack
Obama. If there’s a God, it’s in his pants. It’s in his suit. It sits
behind his desk. It wears its shoes. His God is Barack Obama. Why
are you sleeping that lie alive? How does that benefit your cause?”
Glenn said.
But Bashir joined in on the attacks by reading an op-ed by a Mormon willing to throw Romney under the bus:
MORE BULL SHIT THAN CARTER'S GOT PILL'S AND PEANUTS, AND NIXON HAD TAPES ?
THIS IS A PRESIDENT ? OF THE USA ?
HOW ABOUT BARE ASS, TARED AND FEATHERED, OUT SIDE THE WHITE HOUSE GATE, WITH NO KEY TO GET BACK IN AND ONE FREE GRAYHOUND TICKET
BUS, NO AIR FORCE 1 FOR RIDE
TO CHICAGO, IL
THAT WOULD WORK QUITE WELL WHAT SAY YOU ? REMEMBER NIXON ? SAME DEAL BUT THIS TIME WITH THE TAR AND FEATHERS...
In an effort to cover up the truth about "Fast & Furious" Obama
has invoked Executive Privilege sealing up all the relevant documents
and preventing the public from knowing what happened.
This has all the hallmarks of a Nixonian presidential cover up. Townhall.com
is reporting that this act is an "indication that President Obama was
involved in Operation Fast and Furious, which he has boldly denied."
If he has boldly denied that he was involved in or had any personal
knowledge of it - why would he seal the documents that would prove it? A
president seals documents when there is incriminating evidence
contained within them. A president, especially this president who
campaigned as Mr. Transparency, doesn't seal documents when those
documents would show him in a positive light.
During the Bush administration, Obama sharply criticized Bush for asserting executive privilege. He said of Bush at that time:
"You know, there’s been a tendency on the part of this
administration to — to try to hide behind executive privilege every time
there’s something a little shaky that’s taking place. And I think, you
know, the administration would be best served by coming clean on this.
There doesn’t seem to be any national security issues involved with the
U.S. attorney question."
Adding that, "I think the American people deserve to know what was going on there.”
Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney has staked out a position on
federal spending to the left of every Republican in the U.S. Senate.
On
Dec. 14, the Senate voted on S.J. Res. 10, the proposed constitutional
amendment requiring a balanced budget sponsored by Sens. Orrin Hatch
and Mike Lee of Utah. All 47 Senate Republicans voted for this
constitutional amendment. All 53 Democrats voted against it.
Romney took no stand.
Romney
did sign a "Cut, Cap and Balance" pledge, vowing to support a balanced
budget amendment that would include an unspecified "spending
limitation." However, he did not specifically support the Hatch-Lee
Amendment that would require balancing the budget while capping federal
spending at 18 percent of gross domestic product.
Senate
Republicans backed the 18-percent spending cap for a reason: 18 percent
approximates the average percentage of GDP the federal government has
been able to collect in taxes over many decades.
To balance the
budget while capping federal spending at higher than 18 percent of GDP
would require raising the persistent rate of federal taxation to an
unprecedented level.
"Over the long haul, we have learned that
our tax system is capable of generating a revenue stream equaling a
little over 18 percent of all of the revenue that moves through the
American economy every single year — a little over 18 percent of our
gross domestic product," Lee explained on the Senate floor the day
before all his Republican colleagues backed his amendment.
"That
percentage remains relatively constant," Lee said. "It has remained
that way for many decades, going back to at least 1960. It averages out
a little over 18 percent of gross domestic product. That remains true
even when we go back 30 years or so when our top marginal income tax
rates were approaching 90 percent."
Four days after Senate
Republicans voted unanimously for a balanced budget amendment that
would cap spending at 18 percent of GDP, Romney told Fox News about his
own budget plan.
"Well, my plan is a responsible plan, and I
have the specifics that show how I will cut $500 billion out of the
federal budget and take federal spending from 25 percent of the GDP
down to 20 percent of GDP," Romney told Fox.
"Which is, in my
view, closer to the long range average and makes sense," Romney said.
"I want to cut federal spending," Romney said. "I want to cap federal
spending at 20 percent of the GDP and then lower it from there. And
ultimately, I want to have a balanced budget amendment."
"Ultimately" he wants one. What does that mean?
In
his 59-point economic plan, Romney made "Pursue a Balanced Budget
Amendment' point No. 59. Point 57 says: "Cap federal spending at 20
percent of GDP."
In explaining Point 57, Romney's plan says: "One
traditional yardstick for gauging whether government is living within
its means is spending as a percentage of GDP. Since the 1950s, federal
spending has hovered around 20 percent of GDP."
Yes, that
explains why a government whose revenue averages 18 percent of GDP
routinely runs deficits and steadily increases its debt.
"As
president, Mitt Romney will immediately move to cut spending and cap it
at 20 percent of GDP," Romney's plan goes on to say. "As spending comes
under control, he will pursue further cuts that would allow caps to be
set even lower so as to guarantee future fiscal stability."
What
does Romney's mean when he says he will "immediately" cap spending at
20 percent of GDP? "Immediately" means four years from now.
"As
president, Mitt's goal will be to bring federal spending below 20
percent of GDP by the end of his first term," says the "Spending" page
on Romney's campaign website.
Since the end of World War II (in
fiscal 1946), according to Office of Management and Budget data, there
has been only one year — 2000 — when federal tax revenue reached as high
as 20 percent of GDP.There have been 12 years when the federal
government balanced its budget. The highest spending in any of those
years the federal government managed to balance its budget was 19.4
percent.That was 1969 — the last fiscal year started under President
Lyndon Johnson, the big-spending author of the Great Society.
In a
recent interview with Mark Halperin of Time Magazine, Romney argued
that cutting federal spending too quickly could cause an economic
disaster.
"Well, because, if you take a trillion dollars for
instance, out of the first year of the federal budget, that would shrink
GDP over 5 percent," said Romney. "That is by definition throwing us
into recession or depression. So I'm not going to do that, of course.
... I don't want to have us go into a recession in order to balance the
budget."
"I'd like to have us have high rates of growth at the
same time we bring down federal spending, on, if you will, a ramp that's
affordable, but that does not cause us to enter into an economic
decline," said Romney. The issue here, in Romney's view, is what the
government can "afford" to cut.
Texas father who killed daughter's attacker won't face charges
Below:
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A grand jury has declined to bring
charges against a Texas father who said he beat to death a man who was
attempting to sexually assault his 5-year-old daughter, officials said
on Tues
The father, whose name has not been released because he has not been
charged with a crime, told police he heard his daughter's screams and
ran to a secluded area where he found her under attack by Jesus Flores,
47, who worked for the family.
The father, 23, admitted to Lavaca County Sheriff Micah Harmon and a
Texas Ranger investigating the case that he beat Flores to death to
protect his child during the incident earlier this month, authorities
said.
The case received national attention and focused interest on exactly
how far a person could go to prevent a violent crime from happening to a
child.
"The Texas Rangers and the Lavaca County Sheriff completed an
extensive investigation into the death of Jesus Flores, and the evidence
showed that the use of deadly force was justified," District Attorney
Heather McMinn said on Tuesday.
"The five year old had injuries consistent with what her father witnessed."
In the dramatic call to 9-1-1 the father made, he frantically tells
the dispatcher, "I need an ambulance! This guy was raping my daughter,
and I beat him up, and I don't know what to do!"
Film: President's father not
Barack Obama 2 years of research, rare photos support compelling case
"Who's
your real Daddy?" is a question that remarkably continues to dog Barack
Obama, even as he proceeds into his fourth year as president.
With the release this July of Joel Gilbert's full-length documentary,
"Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception," the mystery
deepens regarding who Obama really is.
"The film provides the first cohesive understanding of Obama's
deep-rooted life journey in socialism, from his childhood to his
presidency," Gilbert told WND.
Gilbert rejects the official story that the Kenyan-born Barack Obama was the president's father.
Instead, he argues, Frank Marshall Davis, the radical poet and
journalist who was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA,
was the real, biological and ideological father of Barack Obama.
"I decided to investigate Frank Marshall Davis. His close physical
resemblance to Obama was shocking, while Obama little resembled the
Kenyan Obama," Gilbert said. "How could this be?"
Gilbert launched into what became two years of research during which he
conducted interviews and discovered rare film footage and photos.
"I unearthed two film archives of Frank Marshall Davis, one from 1973,
the other from 1987, as well as Davis' photo collection," he explained.
"I then acquired 500 copies of the Honolulu Record, the communist-run
newspaper where Davis wrote a weekly political column for eight years."
Gilbert's research turned shocking when he obtained seven indecent
photos of Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, at Frank Marshall Davis' house,
suggesting an intimate connection between Dunham and Davis.
"I was not happy to include these racy photos in the film but found it
necessary to substantiate the intimate relationship between the two," he
said. "Those photos ended up in a men's mail-order catalog of nude
women, likely sold to them by Davis. I placed black bars on parts of the
photos to be respectful."
To establish the foundation for the photos, Gilbert documented that
Davis was one of the founders of a photography club in Chicago, known as
the "Lens Camera Club," and that he specialized in nude photographs.
See the trailer for "Dreams from My Real Father":
Later in life, Davis also penned a scurrilous, autobiographical sex
novel, titled "Sex Rebel: Black," in which he detailed an illicit sexual
relationship with an underage woman named "Anne." Gilbert believes the
name was a thin disguise for Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.
Gilbert reconstructs Obama's autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," and
concludes that the tale of the goat-herding father from Kenya is a
cover story, concocted to mask an inconvenient pregnancy.
The truth, Gilbert argues, is that Barack Obama II was born from the
illicit sexual relationship that rebellious teenager Ann Dunham began
with Davis after her parents forced her to move to Hawaii.
Gilbert believes that when Dunham first arrived in Hawaii after
graduating from high school, she used the sexual relationship with Davis
to act out her frustration that her parents would not permit her to
fulfill her wish to attend the University of Washington in Seattle with
her Mercer Island High School friends.
In 2010, Gilbert wrote and directed a film titled "Atomic Jihad:
Ahmadinejad's Coming War and Obama's Politics of Defeat." "Dreams from
My Real Father" will be released this summer, with screenings in
theaters across the country currently in the planning process.
Communist roots
The FBI had Davis under surveillance for 19 years, monitoring his support of the Communist Party both in Chicago and in Hawaii.
Gilbert portrays Obama as a "Red Diaper Baby," a phenomenon among the
radical left, referred to as "hand-me-down Marxism," in which children
of radical parents grow up to be radicals. Such was the case with much
of the leadership of Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather
Underground, including Obama senior political adviser David Axelrod, who
was born to a mother who wrote for a communist newspaper in New York
City.
Barack Obama Sr., Barack Obama II and Frank Marshall Davis
"Obama sold himself to America as the multi-cultural ideal, a man who
stood above politics. His father was a goat herder from Kenya, he would
bring people together, so it went," Gilbert explained. "While voters
will overlook some fudging by politicians, promoting a false family
background to hide an agenda irreconcilable with American values is a
totally unacceptable manipulation of the electorate."
What Gilbert presents is a direct challenge to the official narrative,
arguing it is more likely President Obama has a deeply disturbing family
background and a hidden Marxist agenda.
"Unfortunately, Obama's style is to minimize, misdirect, and outright
lie about damaging information about his past," Gilbert said. "I hope
the media will now demand that he come clean about his family
background, his political foundations and fully reveal his agenda for
transforming America."
In writing his autobiography, Obama masked his relationship with Davis,
naming him only as "Frank," a friend of his grandfather who "lived in a
dilapidated house in a run-down section of Waikiki."
Gerald Horne, a contributing editor to "Public Affairs," an openly
Marxist political review, made the first positive identification of
"Frank" as Frank Marshall Davis.
In March 2007, Horne gave a speech at New York University on the
occasion of the Communist Party USA archive being placed at an NYU
library.
In that speech, Horne discussed Davis, noting that Davis, who was born
in Kansas and lived much of his adult life in Chicago, had moved to
Honolulu in 1948 at the suggestion of his good friend, actor Paul
Robeson. In the 1940s, Robeson was an outspoken critic of segregation
and racial discrimination in the U.S., a strong advocate of the Soviet
Union and a member of the Communist Party USA.
Horne also documented Davis's friendship with the Dunham family in Hawaii.
"Eventually, [Davis] befriended another family – a Euro-American family –
that had migrated to Honolulu from Kansas, and a young woman from this
family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East
Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who, retracing the steps of
Davis, eventually decamped to Chicago."
Lorne further stated Davis was "a decisive influence in helping [Obama]
to find his present identity as an African-American, a people who have
been the least anti-communist and the most left-leaning of any
constituency in this nation."
After Horne's speech, the identity of "Frank" was never in doubt, nor
his importance in the development of the young Barack Obama.
On Dec. 5, 1956, Davis appeared in executive session before the U.S.
Senate Subcommittee investigating "the scope of Soviet activity in the
United States," one of the McCarthy-era panels seeking to expose
communists considered to be a security threat.
Invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, Davis
refused to answer a direct question asking if he was then a communist.
A year earlier, in 1955, a Commission on Subversive Activities organized
by the government of the Territory of Hawaii identified Davis as a
member of the Communist Party USA. The committee singled out for
criticism several articles Davis published in the "Communist Honolulu
Record" that were critical of the commission.
Gilbert documents Obama's association at Columbia University with what
was known as the May 19th Communist Organization, an above-ground
support group for the Weather Underground based in New York City from
1978 to 1985.
"May 19th" carried out raucous anti-Apartheid and anti-Klan protests and operated a host of front organizations.
At the time, Weather Underground co-founder William Ayers – Obama's
Chicago neighbor and colleague in education reform – wrote that May 19th
provided "a sea for the guerrillas to swim in."
Some May 19th members committed acts of violence and terrorism, such as
the 1981 Nanuet Brinks robbery and murders, the bombing of South African
offices in 1981 and the U.S. Capitol bombing in 1983.
"I spoke with a former FBI informant who told me the May 19th Communist
Organization had a weapons training camp in the Catskill Mountains, run
by former Black Panthers," Gilbert told WND. "In addition, some May 19th
members were sent to Cuba for several weeks each year with the
Venceremos Brigade, a continuation of the SDS/Weather Underground
program begun in the '60s, for explosives training from Cuban
intelligence, DGI."
Obama's election was not a sudden political phenomenon, Gilbert maintains.
"It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that Frank
Marshall Davis nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii and has been quietly
infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities and media for decades," he
explained. "To understand Obama's plans for America, look no further
than communist Frank Marshall Davis."
On the day it hit No. 1 at Amazon, White House records indicate Obama
was desperate to derail the issue of eligibility from breaking through
into the mainstream media, which has been complicit in covering up all
questions pertaining to the issue for four years.
What Obama did next was not unexpected by Corsi and the WND Books team that published it.
"Jerry Corsi called me a couple weeks earlier and told me his sources
said the White House was going to release a fraudulent Hawaiian birth
certificate before the book released to head off the success of the book
and to end the burgeoning controversy," says Joseph Farah, founder and
chief executive officer of WND and WND Books. "There was not much we
could do about that. We were anticipating the move and planning to
subject the document to intense forensic investigation."
On April 27, 2011, the White House posted the alleged long-form birth
certificate on its official government website to quell the growing
doubts about its existence.
"The media, partners in the crime of the cover-up of Obama's
ineligibility for the presidency, quickly embraced the document without
even a cursory examination," said Farah.
