Marine: Obama Claimed He Was Born In Mombasa

June 4, 2012 by 54 Comments

Jim “Race Bannon” Bancroft was told by Barack Obama in 1980 that he was born in Mombasa, Kenya.

In this radio interview about his thirty year old memory, Bancroft recounts Obama’s admission. Bancroft was a member of the U.S. Marine Corps at the time and met Obama in the vicinity of Kalakaua Blvd., one evening in early August of 1980.

Bancroft has published the account of his personal meeting with the then Barry Soetero online at the Gathering of the Eagles Blog.

Bancroft writes in his essay:

He also told me something that I never forgot, for it caused me to do some other things in an effort to be nice to him and possibly a favor. We spoke of where I had been and the world as I saw it. I told him I had been to Africa , Mombassa specifically, and he said to me abruptly, “I was born there.” I told him he is not eligible to be president if that was true, but I remembered he said his mom was an American, so, maybe it was okay. But it was what I did after that makes this a true memory: I went back to the barracks and told others of this guy and suggested we all grab our photo albums and visit him again and show him pictures of Mombassa so he could see where he was from.

No one wanted to go, and at that time, my camera had failed me weeks before we hit Mombassa and it was late August or early September until I had borrowed someone else’s pictures to develop myself so I had copies of where I was. But I never forgot meeting that man for those reasons. I was going to do him a favor and show him his home country of birth. And I never went back for some reason, most likely I forgot to or just felt that a one time chance encounter would be meaningless to both of us and didn’t mean we were friends.

Bannon then closes his testimonial with the following observation:

In the light of what is called “The Birther” movement, these memories are still foremost in my mind concerning this. While I cannot swear it was Barak Obama, all the details I do remember of that chance encounter fit the profile of the man who some people claim is born in Kenya and others claim he was born in Hawaii . The man I met was about 18, thin, Mulatto, told me he was born in Mombassa, raised overseas, was living in Hawaii and hadn’t yet been to many places in the world outside of those places, mostly, hadn’t been to the mainland of America for any long time period if at all. And he openly told me he wanted to be President.

And I remember that face, the face of a young man who sat on a table to my right front, his hands resting on the edge of the table, him leaning forward, his smile, all teeth. It was Barak Obama. I don’t know if I’d bet my life on it, but I am willing to tell people openly at the risk of my ridicule. I was there, and saw him, spoke to him, and he openly told me he was born in Mombassa, Kenya, not Hawaii .

Whining Democrat Asks, “Can Our Country Govern Itself?”

June 4, 2012 by 9 Comments

190 opinions murphy 300x225 Whining Democrat asks, “Can our country govern itself?”

“Until we address the crisis of the failure of our institutions to resolve the significant challenges we face, don’t expect progress on any of them.” Could any statement be more decidedly emblematic of leftist doctrine than the claim that only government and its institutions are equipped to solve the problems of life? Never mind that these are usually problems created by government in its endless quest to solve longstanding problems previously created by government!

Two months ago, Barack Obama’s signature “Affordable Care Act” made an unexpected appearance before the United States Supreme Court. Unexpected, that is, because few if any of the ruling class left which wrote and passed the massive statute believed such a compassionate endeavor could meet with serious criticism. That the American people overwhelmingly opposed the left’s assault on their liberty was, of course, not considered “serious.”

ObamaCare had a rough three days of oral argument before the Justices, leading pundits throughout the liberal media to proclaim Barack Obama’s noble attempt at autocratic altruism in danger of being overturned. How could such a thing be possible? As five Justices had been nominated to the Court by Republican presidents, obviously they would rule the individual mandate unconstitutional, perhaps taking down other bits of the law for good measure. A clear case of judicial activism according to the left.

Yet because Supreme Court Justices did their job of asking hard questions about the clearly unconstitutional individual mandate, “one Democrat member of Congress told reporters…that if the Court were to strike down [ObamaCare], doing so would create chaos and would raise some serious questions, including ‘Can our country govern itself…’ ”

Can our country govern itself? For 2 years, Democrats enjoyed an unassailable majority in both House and Senate, allowing the left to pass ObamaCare without a single Republican vote. Obama himself has defied the Constitution and bypassed congress by means of executive order. Yet when a co-equal branch of government performs the task for which it was created, the left whine that the system is broken and the process of governing no longer possible.

For the left has decided that anything which stands in the way of its exercise of absolute authority results in a “failure of our institutions.” In short, the Democrat Party will not recognize the legitimacy of any Constitutionally created branch of government which is not controlled exclusively by the left.

After all, liberals consider themselves the guarantors of fairness, the chosen elite who legislate the methods and means of obtaining true and lasting equality. Let conservatives or other meddlers get in their way by preventing—even overturning—the products of years of noble Democrat endeavor and “crisis” ensues. The American people can’t “expect progress” as the true intent of the institutions of government has been derailed; that intent, of course, being equality of outcome, regardless of talent or effort.

Naturally the left is prepared to launch an all-out assault on the legitimacy of the Court should any part of ObamaCare be found unconstitutional. And now we’ve been informed our entire system of government will collapse, unable to absorb a ruling contrary to the will of the Democrat Party!

Personally, I’ll risk it.

CNN Busted

June 4, 2012 by 10 Comments

propaganda cnn CNN Busted
CNN’s ratings plummeted in May and CEO Phil Kent admitted to being ‘very unhappy’ with its primetime ratings but said it won’t resort to tricks to increase viewership, but as he spoke to reporters, CNN had already resorted to tricks hoping to increase viewership by reposting a 2010 Anderson Cooper 360 segment entitled, “Busting the Obama ‘birther’ conspiracy” amid the latest firestorm of questions about Barack Hussein Obama’s background.

It is no wonder that Americans have lost faith in traditional media and turned to alternative news sources. Even FOX News, so called “fair and balanced,” is losing viewers due to ‘filtering’ information about our government and especially the current resident of the White House. But it isn’t just being filtered it is outright propaganda.

I met Robert J. Groden, Photographic Consultant to the House Select Committee on Assassinations and Technical Advisor to Oliver Stone’s “JFK,” the day after I spoke at the Constitutional Elections Summit in Dallas. Mr. Groden has debunked much of what is in the Warren Report but most Americans still believe the government’s official report. We agreed that there is a cover up of massive proportions going on regarding Obama’s background. He told me the CIA controls the press and showed me a copy of a CIA Dispatch which gives instruction on how to “employ propaganda assets to answer and refute the attacks of critics…”

As a nationally recognized authority on the eligibility ‘birther’ issue, I found enjoyment debunking the AC 360 story especially the part where they show a microfilm copy they claim Obama released more than four years ago and they thought we were so stupid we wouldn’t notice that it’s not even his. At the 1 minute 22 second point in the CNN video they show a negative copy of a birth certificate they claim Obama “released four years ago,” but by ‘freeze framing’ and closer inspection it is obvious that it is not an image of the now proven forgery that was presented during a White House press conference on April 27, 2011, and posted on www.whitehouse.gov.

It is very easy to discern differences on the length and placement of data but most damning is the certificate numbers of the images. Since Obama ‘owns’ the forged copy number 151 61 10641 he has some explaining to do as to why CNN is using a birth certificate numbered 151 60 05009. But that may not happen because the average person, upon viewing the CNN report, would never suspect that the news giant would be feeding them propaganda. That’s how powerful the CIA controlled media is. Fact in point is the near total blackout of the press conference held in Maricopa County, AZ where Sheriff Joe Arpaio reported that the image posted on the White House website is a forgery. Yes, a forgery. Mainstream media spews propaganda to cover for the most powerful man on earth and censors any dialog of his dubious background.

The following excerpts from the CIA memo RE: Project “Countering Criticism of the Warren Report” are obviously interchangeable and applies directly to the ongoing project countering criticism of ‘birthers.’

To wit:

  1. To discuss the publicity problem with liaison and friendly elite contacts (especially politicians and editors), pointing out that the Warren Commission made as thorough an investigation as humanly possible, that the charges of the critics are without serious foundation, and that further speculative discussion only plays into the hands of the opposition. Point out also that parts of the conspiracy talk appear to be deliberately generated by Communist propagandists. Urge them to use their influence to discourage unfounded and irresponsible speculation.
  2. To employ propaganda assets to answer and refute the attacks of the critics. Book reviews and feature articles are particularly appropriate for this purpose The unclassified attachments to this guidance should provide useful background material for passage to assets. Our play should point out, as applicable, that the critics are (i) wedded to theories adopted before the evidence was in, (ii) politically interested, (iii) financially interested, (iv) hasty and inaccurate in their research, or (v) infatuated in their own theories. In the course of discussions of the whole phenomenon of criticism, a useful strategy may be….

The dispatch/memo goes on suggesting useful publications and different theories for attacks but I believe I’ve made my point that these ‘friendly elite contacts’ and ‘propaganda assets’ have been used against anyone speaking out against Obama not the least of which are ‘birthers.’

The biggest conspiracy the ‘elite contacts’ and ‘propaganda assets’ are covering up is not the birth certificate. That’s big but what they are really doing is distracting the public from investigating the real issue: Obama is not a ‘natural born Citizen’ as required in Article II, Section I of the Constitution. A natural born citizen is one born in the country to parents who are themselves citizens. The corrupt media propagates and perpetuates the fallacy that anyone born in the country can be president and mislead everyone into thinking the issue is about Obama being a citizen. Look here not there.

It has become increasing clear that patriotic Americans no longer trust any of the establishment media and CNN is the poster child for breech of trust. Is it any wonder that they’ve lost 50% of their viewership over the last year. As far as I’m concerned they’re done! There’s a new, more powerful medium in town and they’re called “conservative bloggers.”

Bill Clinton Smears Tea Party

June 4, 2012 by 18 Comments

The day after former President Bill Clinton was in Wisconsin smearing the Tea Party for the division and discord in American and Wisconsin politics, several self-identified Tea Partiers rebuffed him with the truth. This video shows what is wrong with America (liberal liars) verses what is so wonderful about America(nearly 4,000 people at a Teay Party Rally).

MSNBC On Obama’s Wisconsin Recall No-Show

June 4, 2012 by 6 Comments

It is a bad sign for Obama that his team decided to keep him out of Wisconsin. Obama doesn’t want to be associated with the Democrats loss in the Scott Walker recall. Bottom line is that if he had shown up to help his allies in the state, he would have likely had zero impact. It is great to see the liberals over at MSNBC nervous about what this means for the fall elections. I believe it doesn’t look good in Wisconsin for Obama come November.

The Woman Behind The Veil: Valerie Jarrett

June 4, 2012 by 9 Comments

valerie jarrett 207x300 The Woman Behind the Veil: Valerie Jarrett
In 2009 when millions of Iranians took to the streets to call for the removal of theocratic dictator Ahmadinejad, Obama remained silent, even though he later threw Mubarak under the bus, an ally of the United States and Israel for thirty years, calling for his removal within hours of the “democratic”  (that is, Muslim Brotherhood-orchestrated) protests.

When it was an open secret that Iran was enriching uranium and at the same time calling Israel a “cancerous tumor that must be cut out”—that they needed to be “annihilated”—literally, Obama coddled Iran with calls for endless sanctions. When it became obvious to everyone except the White House that Iran was close to building a bomb or had already built one, Obama attempted to get Israel to not attack suspected nuclear bomb-making facilities, at least not until after he was reelected!

This month when Iran began hosting a website dedicated to glorifying Nazism, the White House didn’t bat an eye amid the ramifications of glorifying a nation that sought the “final solution” as the lynchpin to world domination.

The question must be asked, is there anyone actually in charge at the White House? Obama’s ad nauseam metaphor for two years was that the Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch, that Obama told them they had to sit in the back seat from now on. But it seems now that there isn’t anyone driving at all.

But in fact there is someone driving. There is a wizard behind the curtain pulling all the levers to shift gears, turn left and right, drive not only the United States, but the world.

No, it isn’t a sinister far-Left puppet master billionaire or Saudi prince, but a woman whose only claim to fame is that she was known as a Chicago slum lord.

As Edward Klein’s #1 bestseller The Amateur makes clear, it is Obama chief advisor Valerie Jarrett that sits in on all meetings, weighing in on everything from the humdrum to what suspected terrorist should be taken out. It is Jarrett who decides who sees Obama and who does not. It is Jarrett who is the eyes and ears of the White House, determining who is loyal to Obama and who is not, and who needs to be taken out: “Within months of [retired four-star Marine Corps general James Logan Jones Jr.] being appointed as Obama’s first national security adviser, Jones became the victim of a snarky whispering campaign by White House aides” and was one of the first Jarrett casualties in the White House (e-Book section 2004).

But who is Valerie Jarrett? Who is this woman behind the veil that many call the de facto POTUS?

Most would be surprised to learn she was born in Iran.

Most would be surprised to learn she was named “Iranian of the Day” in August of 2008 by Iranian.com.

Most would be surprised to know her father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, has long-standing ties to communists.

Most would be surprised to learn that Jarrett often meets privately with Muslim activists.

If the mainstream media in 2008 had dug into Jarrett’s past half as much as they dug into Sarah Palin’s life, who knows what other things we would have discovered behind this Iranian veil?

When Iran lobs a nuclear missile at Israel—and make no bones about it, they will unless their nuclear program is destroyed—all eyes will be not on Obama, but that woman behind the veil, Valerie Jarrett.

A Case For Governor Scott Walker

June 4, 2012 by 1 Comment

43rd and grange in greenfield 300x225 A Case For Governor Scott Walker
Name-calling is the coward’s way to avoid intelligent discourse. Liberals are notorious for responding to just about anything or anyone with whom they disagree using ad hominem rebuttals to discredit their opponents. Rather than exercising brain cells to engage in scholarly debate, most liberals will leapfrog over the subject at hand and conjure-up a baseless and unrelated charge that makes about as much sense as calling Bill Maher a patriot.

If you are a pro-capitalist, you are a fascist. If you are a Christian, you are an extremist. If you are a Mormon, you are a polygamist. If you reject Obama’s liberal policies, you are a racist. And, if you are Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, you are a liar.

Liberals are so busy trying to get their way they fail to see the yearning for fiscal integrity rumbling across the highways and byways of this great country. They have no idea this real and present dissatisfaction is non-partisan in nature. In this unstable economy, many Americans have lost their appetites for labor unions and the ginormous government budgets they inspire.

Liberals would love to blame this dissatisfaction on those right-wing nut jobs, but they cannot. A good example is what happened in South Florida in March 2011 when Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Alvarez, a Republican, was shown the door for doing for doing the opposite of what Walker is attempting to do in Wisconsin. Alvarez raised property taxes by 13 percent to fund public-sector union expenses.

In an attempt to discredit him, liberals label Walker as “too extreme.” I partially agree with them; Walker is extremely effective. Wisconsin was drowning in debt until the governor’s fiscally conservative measures erased Wisconsin’s $3.6 billion deficit. Rather than adopting the Democratic Party’s “cure-all” prescription of raising taxes, Walker lowered them, signing a property tax freeze and lowering school property taxes. Wisconsin is expected to have a budget surplus by 2013.

Governor Walker made tough decisions during tough economic times. Walker’s proposal allowing union participation to be voluntary and requiring union workers to contribute to their generous benefit plans sent Wisconsin state senate Democrats reeling � literally. Once they realized Walker wasn’t going to back down, they absconded to a neighboring state in a childish display of political theatrics.

Once it was enacted, the bill President Obama once described as “an assault on unions,” became a pathway to independence. Wisconsin schools and local governments were given the freedom to live within their means when they were granted the ability to hire, fire and compensate based upon performance. The nonpartisan group, Wisconsin Taxpayer’s Alliance, reported that the savings from employee benefits “allowed districts to reduce costs” allowing districts like the Kaukauna school district to control their own destiny and convert a $400,000 deficit into a $1.5 million surplus.

Walker’s success in Wisconsin is a threat to labor unions, Progressives and the Democratic Party. According to the New York Post, New York unions are sending resources “to oust the union-busting Walker on June 5 and stop the anti-union movement from spreading to other states.”

For political zealots, truth is a wonderful thing to twist, spin and slant � especially if it means discrediting a sitting governor prior to his recall election. Why debate an issue when you can call your opponent a liar? To no surprise, Walker has been accused of misrepresenting the truth over a variety of issues for the actions he’s taken to regain fiscal stability. Nevertheless, the best defense for Walker is the truth, which has manifested itself in Wisconsin’s economic recovery.

A win for Walker will be a win for the rest of us because his policies could serve as an antidote to the economic contagion spreading across this country. No matter who wins in Wisconsin on June 5th, or in Washington this November, our economy will not improve without making tough choices. Either way, the job requires a strong leader and skillful surgeon, and Governor Scott Walker has proven he is up to the task.

Obama Team Dismisses Jobs From Keystone Pipeline

June 4, 2012 by 9 Comments

It is clear from the attitude of the Obama administration, real private sector jobs don’t matter. Even high unemployment won’t move them to approve the Keystone Pipeline. They are more wed to the agenda of radical environmentalism than they are moved by the suffering of America’s workers.

Why The Perpetual ‘God Is Love’ Message Can Lead To Despair

June 4, 2012 by 8 Comments

anno domini jesus 3 Why the perpetual ‘God is love’ message can lead to despair

I have heard many preachers in my 50+ years.  Some have been the ‘fire and brimstone’ type.  Some have been intellectual, some emotional.  Others have been more about themselves than they ought to have been.  While still others were so full of God they seemed hardly human.

What I have observed in the last couple of decades is that there are very few Jeremiahs preaching the gospel.  There are few John the Baptists who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the truth.  Preaching the gospel has now become more about pleasing those who fill the pews.  Our pulpits are full of fearful and timid preachers satisfied to preach a gospel that is a mile wide and an inch deep.  The goal is longer to share truth in spite of the circumstances and bring glory to God in doing so.  The goal is to be sure no one is offended so everyone will come back again next week and write another check to the church.

Topical preaching has replaced expository preaching.  The most popular topics are love, love and love.  Unpopular topics include sin, judgment and hell.   The goal is for everyone to feel uplifted and happy at the end of the service and avoid the possibility of anyone feeling the sadness that a true conviction for sin brings.  In a nutshell, the preaching of the gospel has become more about us and less about God.  The focus is on our happiness instead of God’s glory.

I have heard so much of God’s love that I’m beginning to feel despair.  I hope I’m not misinterpreted.  I believe in God’s love.  It was his love and mercy and longsuffering that spared my wretched soul from an unspeakable judgment and for that I am eternally grateful.  But do we not do God an injustice by portraying him as a God of love only and not at all a God of justice?

If our portrait of God is love alone and no justice, then when will suffering end?  If we preach only the love of God have we no compassion for the immense amount of suffering in this world?  If God unconditionally loves the child molester, the wife beater and the abortionist who has dedicated his life to a large bank account even if he has to murder thousands of innocent children to do it, will God not love these sinners with an immensity that is immeasurable and eternal?  If there is no end to God’s patience for the sins of mankind against each other then when will he reveal his justice by putting an end to the horrible suffering?  This overemphasis on the love of God diminishes the justice of God.  If we take either of these traits away from God, he ceases to be God.

It is not the love of God that finally terminates the sin of those who refuse to repent.  It is the justice of God that ends the torture of the wicked over the innocent.  It is not the love of God that sends wicked, deserving monsters of iniquity to hell.  It is the justice of God that does it.  What brings an end to all suffering?  It is not the perpetual love of God. Again, it is the justice of God.  The purpose of God’s justice is not to simply punish the wicked.  It is also to rescue the oppressed.  At some point God must answer the voices of the oppressed who call out for justice.  Perhaps the ultimate expression of God’s love is when he puts an end to the pain caused by a baby killer or a child molester by sending them to an eternal punishment.

This is why those in heaven have no sorrow.  They rejoice that there is a hell because it is evidence proves that God is just and that he is determined to put an end to wickedness and suffering.  The existence of hell reveals a righteous, holy God who is victor over an evil, God defying enemy whose intentions is to damn us all to the pit prepared for he and his imps.

Valerie Jarrett: Fat Cat Banker

June 4, 2012 by 7 Comments

Obama loves to demonize all the “fat cat” bankers jaunting around the globe in their corporate jets, eating caviar on their yachts.  That stalwart of the middle class, that defender of “the little guy” Barry Obama dukes it out with those greedy Wall Street goons on a daily basis on our behalf and complains that we should be thanking him.

Except the woman behind the man, Valerie Jarrett, just happened to be Director of the Federal Reserve Bank in Chicago from January 2006 until April 2007.  She also just happened to resign from this job at about the same time as Obama began his fight for the little guy and joined the presidential fray. She just happened to be a slum lord extraordinaire, making millions off of the misery of the poor.

We could use the word “hypocrisy” and tear Obama’s Anonymous mask off, but there would be nothing there, as Obama’s rhetoric is about as empty as the man himself.
