DHS Ammo Grab: No Longer “Conspiracy” But Plain Reality

May 20, 2013 by 36 Comments

world mexguns full 6328 300x200 DHS Ammo Grab: No Longer “Conspiracy” but Plain Reality

 

It now seems clear that the Department of Homeland Security’s stockpiling of ammunition and other warfare supplies can no longer be dismissed as “conspiracy theory,” but is a very real development in the actions of an overreaching federal government.

Many have suggested and assumed that the ammo and gun shortage experienced across the country is the result of private citizens’ unprecedented purchases, in recent years, in preparation for impending gun control measures. While this is true in part, it is only half of the logical explanation that can be assessed based upon available facts.

This phenomenon has been described as creating a perfect storm for private gun owners when paired with the reality that the DHS and other federal agencies are buying up once-available guns and ammunition like never before. Mainstream news sources such as Rawstory and Media Matters have attacked Fox News’ Lou Dobbs and others for their statements affirming that the government has indeed purchased at least 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition (especially including hollow points), 7000 fully automatic assault rifles, and 2700 new light armored vehicles, as well as riot gear including body armor. DHS has also invested $2 million with a contractor that recently apologized for its production of shooting targets depicting elderly gun owners and even pregnant women and children in residential settings, after photos and publicity of the targets recently gained widespread exposure.

As it turned out, these claims have proven to be very accurate, as even Media Matters admitted that DHS officials made the 1.6 billion rounds purchase as they were also busy denying it. The organization also insisted that “the order for 2717 new light armored vehicles [came] from the United States Marine Corps – not the Department of Homeland Security.” This claim seems baseless, as all photos have clearly shown the DHS emblem emblazoned on the tanks in question.

All these dismissive reports against the supposedly “misleading” claim of the DHS stockpiling effort can be traced back to a February 14 Associated Press report, lacking any investigative basis, that simply repeated the statement from DHS official Peggy Dixon, who claimed the bulk ammo purchases to have been made in order to save money, and that the bullets were solely intended for military and federal law enforcement training purposes. This claim becomes weaker upon consideration that hollow-point ammunition is significantly more expensive than standard rounds, and military spokesmen and ammunition experts contend that such bullets are unsuitable for training purposes and have never been used for such a purpose.

Seemingly, at the very least, even if the government isn’t preparing to make war against its own people, they are preparing for civil unrest, which is suspect enough for the warranted concern of the American people. The government may well be, however, deliberately attempting to restrict the supply of ammunition, thus the functionality of firearms, from the American people. It has never been a well-kept secret that the Obama administration is no big fan of the Second Amendment. The longstanding fears of many have begun to be shared by several of our elected officials who are increasingly becoming more vocal in their concerns about the government’s attempt to strip citizens of their right to keep and bear arms. Recently, as a guest on Aaron Klein’s radio show, Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Inholfe accused the Obama administration of buying up unprecedented levels of ammunitions as a means to intentionally bypass the Second Amendment until law-abiding citizens “can’t even buy ammunition because government is purchasing so much.” Inholfe cited last month’s testimony from DHS Chief Procurement Officer Nick Nayak who said DHS has the right to buy up as much ammunition as it deems necessary. He mentioned that the ammo grab is an ongoing concern, as even still “they’re planning to buy 750 million rounds. Well, that is more than three times the amount that our soldiers are using for training to defend our nation. So, it’s just another effort to restrict gun activity and ownership.” The senator is in the process of introducing the Ammunition Management for More Obtainability (AMMO) bill that will limit “non-defense, armed federal agencies to pre-Obama levels of ammunition.”

There now seems to be ample evidence that our federal government, namely the Obama administration, is up to no good when it comes to the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding American citizens. Historically speaking, this is a very alarming cause for concern. Hopefully, this concern then will continue to be shared by more elected officials in our local, state, and federal governments, as well as among our military and law enforcement communities. Lou Dobbs likely said it best with the following statement: “It’s like I tell anyone who brushes off what I try to tell them as simple ‘conspiracy theory.’ At some point it stops being a theory, and is in fact a conspiracy. I also remind them that we’re not talking about science fiction or aliens here. We’re talking about the very REAL potential of government misconduct towards its own people; something that has happened time and time again in history.”

It’s Harvest Time In Washington

May 16, 2013 by Leave a Comment

Barack Obama speech 8 SC Its Harvest Time in Washington

Not even Barack Obama can defy the laws of physics.

Certain things are absolute. As Newton said, what goes up must come down. The wrinkles you see staring back at you in the mirror validate the second law of thermodynamics: eventually, things fall apart. And, as any farmer will tell you, if you plant cucumbers in the spring, no matter how hard you try, you will never reap watermelons in the summer.

It’s the same with deeds; good and bad, we reap what we sow. From the onset, the Obama administration has woven a web of fabrications so thick it is hard to see where reality ends and make-believe begins. Over time, Obama has woven that web tighter by installing a gang of Chicago allies, confidants, tongue-biters, and tale-tellers as a “shadow government” answerable only to him. There was safety in this tight-knit crew of like-minded associates, or so they thought, until recently when parts of Obama’s web began to unravel.

As the old time pastor R.G. Lee once said, “Nature keeps books pitilessly. Man’s credit with her is good. But Nature collects.” And now it seems Nature has come knocking on the front door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

It all began with Benghazi. We now know that celebrating in the end zone about bin Laden’s death made for good re-election bumper stickers and water cooler conversation but had little impact on America’s security or the security of the grossly under-protected consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Far-fetched stories about a video spun by a circle of close confidants desperately desiring four more years of power fell apart during recent testimonies. We reap what we sow.

Now we hear the IRS was party to Soviet-style scare tactics in the inappropriate targeting of conservative groups prior to the 2012 election. The Washington Post reports that the tentacles of this scandal reach beyond the supposed few rogue agents in Cincinnati to Washington. Doing what they do best, Progressives deflected the blame to the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision — purporting had it not been for it, there would be no need for the IRS’s intrusion into the private lives of conservatives. Had the IRS targeted liberal groups, Democrats would have blamed it on a Republican plot to steal the election. And of course, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney remains steadfast: the administration is beyond reproach. Sure.

So, how about a sprinkle of invasion of privacy to go with that healthy dose of scare tactics? The Associated Press (AP) discovered that Attorney General Holder’s Department of Justice secretly seized two months of reporters’ phone records (including both work and personal numbers), something the AP called a “massive and unprecedented intrusion” into news-gathering. While the jury’s still out regarding motives, it should be noted this was not the first time for this administration. As originally reported by Breitbart.com, former Holder spokesperson Tracy Schmaler colluded with the far-left group Media Matters for America to “smear media figures, whistleblowers, and members of Congress.” Transparency? Not.

Scandal by scandal, the president remains resolute and does his sanctimonious best to remain blameless. The dominoes are dropping; it is harvest time for this corrupt administration, which believes that justice is due for everyone but itself and will do everything in its power to avoid reaping the consequences for which it has sown.

John Kerry SC Kerry’s Wife Major Donor To Radical Left Slush Fund

Secretary of State John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, is a primary donor to the Tides Foundation, one of the country’s biggest financiers of the radical left.

Tides is controversial clearinghouse that funds groups such as MoveOn.org, ACORN, Media Matters for America and a litany of so-called anti-war organizations.

Tides is also heavily connected to the Occupy movement.

The group funds a controversial environmental organization, the Apollo Alliance, which helped to craft sections of President Obama’s 2009 stimulus legislation.

Kerry, through her personal foundation, has donated more than $4 million to the Tides Foundation.

Is Martial Law Coming?

March 7, 2013 by 31 Comments

When the Obama administration during its “War on Women” propaganda campaign was parading Sandra Fluke—the so-called “contraception girl”—on the red carpet leading to the White House, the Leftist blog Think Progress was leading the charge to take Obama’s Public Enemy Number One Rush Limbaugh off the air because of his Sandra Fluke “whore” comments.

Obama’s attack dog Media Matters then began literally feeding the mainstream media its talking points, all to ensure Obamacare would not be derailed by the “noise” of federal funding of contraception and abortifacients.

And of course, the third part of the unholy leftist trinity, the Center for American Progress, run by Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff John Podesta—considered the “brain” of the radical Left—was running the whole “War on Women” marionette show.

But behind the scenes of his marionette show, Podesta had bigger fish to fry.

Just off the heels of the debt ceiling crisis—part of the so-called sequestration debacle the Obama administration has been wringing their hands about lately—John Podesta was jumping for joy in the one hundred page position paper Rebalancing Our National Security. Written following the Obama-manufactured debt ceiling crisis, the paper touted the Budget Control Act of 2011’s gutting of the military to the tune of almost five hundred billion dollars over the next ten years, not the measly $86 billion sequestration cuts Obama has been wringing his hands about.

You can almost hear Podesta giggling in the background as he discusses how the military was being gutted:

The debate in Washington over security spending this year is being driven mostly by the Budget Control Act of 2011, the debt reduction deal that averted a government shutdown last summer. The law mandates about $1 trillion in cuts to federal government discretionary spending over 10 years beginning in fiscal year 2012, including $487 billion in Pentagon cuts…

…The “sequester” came in to play after Congress failed to reach an agreement on how to legislate the deficit reduction at the end of last year…The members of our Task Force agree with the near-universal consensus that sequestration is more about political maneuvering than sound budgeting practice. But we argue that the amount of cuts to the Pentagon budget mandated by both parts of the debt deal is readily achievable with no sacrifice to our security—if the cuts are done in a thoughtful manner over the next decade. We also agree that some of those savings in the U.S. defense budget should be redeployed to other parts of the federal government, specifically to those non-military programs that help our nation defend the homeland and prevent global crises from escalating into military confrontations…

Where should the gutted defense budget be “redeployed” to per Podesta? Not the $500 billion as proposed, but his call for one trillion dollars in cuts? Being a globalist, as expected, redistribution of wealth to the global community, with the United Nations no doubt holding the purse strings:

Our Task Force plan outlines an alternative trajectory for spending on offense and prevention that would achieve the benchmark of $1 trillion in military cuts over 10 years. This framework provides $123 billion for international affairs over 10 years. It would increase spending on diplomacy during this period by 28 percent more than the president’s request, and increase spending on development and humanitarian assistance by 40 percent.

It is clear then, looking at the one trillion dollars in cuts over the next ten years, that these so-called “draconian” $86 billion sequestration cuts are simply a sham.

There are four things that are apparent from the Obama administration’s antics and its partner in crime, Center for American Progress:

1. During the debt ceiling crisis, Obama knew the “super committee” would fail and the sequestration deal would go forward.

2. Obama knew the $86 billion sequestration cuts were just a drop in the bucket to the real cuts that were mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011.

3.Obama knew that the Republican Congress would not table the sequestration, and it would go forward.

4. Obama planned on hyping up the sequestration cuts, blaming the Republicans with his allies in the mainstream media, with the goal of retaking the House of Representatives in 2014.

With Obama controlling both the House and Senate in 2014, this would allow the gutting of the military to go through. This would allow Obama to push any agenda through Congress, no matter how radical—including gutting the Second Amendment—thus allowing him to complete his “fundamental transformation” of America—that is, a Marxist utopia.

But America won’t go willingly. Obama would have to orchestrate the mother of all of his orchestrated crises.

Enter George Soros, who just happens to fund the leftist unholy trinity Think Progress, Media Matters, and Center for American Progress.

Soros also just happens to be a felon, convicted of insider trading. Soros, dubbed “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England,” funneled hundreds of millions of dollars out of the British economy with the collapse of the British pound and is now trying make money with the collapse the Euro.

And of course, Soros is a fixture at the White House.

But Obama and George Soros are after bigger fish than collapsing currencies.

The stock market in recent days has been at record levels. Many have predicted a stock market crash—losing up to 90% of its value—although those on the hard Left, especially our friend George Soros, won’t say it openly.

Soros has dumped most of his stock in the banking industry and is stockpiling a massive amount of gold. Soros has a secret that he is keeping wraps on: If the stock market crashes, the economy itself will collapse.

With unemployment at high levels, with an unsustainable welfare state pushed to its limits, and with our national debt approaching seventeen trillion, a stock market crash would make the crash of 1929 look like child’s play.

It would collapse our economy in a matter of days, if not hours.

What would occur if the economy collapses?

Food and water shortages. Civil disorder. Riots.

And of course, a call for martial law.

And the Obama administration knows this—“coincidentally” signing an executive order last year that gives Obama dictatorial power in the event of a “national emergency.”

Is this why the Obama administration has stockpiled two billion rounds of ammunition?

Is this why the Obama administration has been frantically trying to ban assault weapons while quietly stockpiling the same weapons?

Is this why the Obama administration has been stockpiling light armored tanks?

Is this why the Obama administration has ordered a fleet of “public safety” drones, able to pick up cell phone traffic, able to identify whether the target—that is, an American citizen—is armed or not—with the ability to be easily outfitted with missiles?

Is this why the Obama administration has drafted a secret memo that gives Obama the authority to execute a drone strike on any U.S. citizen, at any time, anywhere, without proof, without due process, accountable to no one?

And of course, Eric Holder this week finally admitted that yes, Obama can murder an American citizen on American soil with a drone—in “extraordinary circumstances.”

“Extraordinary circumstances” would be American citizens who are against Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America.

Here’s the possible worst case scenario: Obama successfully spins the sequestration “draconian” cuts as being the fault of the Republicans and takes back the House of Representatives in 2014. This allows him to push anything through, including gutting the military, expanding the welfare state, placing America under an increased surveillance nanny state with drones keeping track of everyone’s movements, and ticking up the national debt to an unsustainable level—nearing $20 trillion.

Then Obama, Soros, and the gaggle of leftist globalist pull some type of monetary switch to crash the U.S. stock market. Our economy then implodes in a matter of days, if not hours; and Obama, with his martial law executive order in hand steps up to his teleprompter and beams to every home in America his call for “temporary” martial law.

During this period of martial law, Obama would specifically target those “clinging to their guns and religion”—that is, conservatives—confiscating guns and using drones to spy on and kill the “domestic terrorists.”

When the “national emergency” was over, Obama’s “fundamental transformation” of America would be complete, with a Marxist utopia safely in place.

Is this all a conspiracy theory? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Gangsta’ Government And The GOP

March 5, 2013 by 2 Comments

GOP SC Gangsta Government and the GOP

America’s founding fathers were beholden to the odd notion that the best prevention against a tyrannical leader or mob rule was the simple yet effective system of checks and balances. Presently, a nominal Republican majority in the House of Representatives is the only thing keeping American capitalism from a nosedive into collectivism, communism, Marxism, Leninism, or Maoism. (Feel free to choose your noun.)

I write “odd notion” because since taking office, Obama and Team Pelosi-Reid have effectively used the U.S. Constitution for White House toilet paper. They consistently write checks that can’t be cashed and operate on budgets that cannot be balanced. Not exactly what the founders had in mind. Need a more specific example? All one needs to do is remember the spending spree Democrats went on when they were in control during 2009-2010, leading to the Obamacare fight that Republicans and a majority of Americans went on to lose.

As a result, the electorate said “yes” to checks and balances when it said “no more” to Democrats-Gone-Wild, awarding Republicans the House majority during the 2010 midterm elections (and again in 2012). It’s been a miserable two years for debt-addicted Democrats. Addiction is the right word to be applied here. Addicts (insert Democrats) lose control of their sensibilities, never attaining satisfaction because they always need more.

To heck with the electorate’s wishes and checks and balances; many of these archetypal addicts have convinced themselves any way but their way is downright immoral. According to the Washington Post on March 2, President Obama told reporters he can’t “force Congress to do the right thing” regarding the sequester he originally initiated. Right thing? Seems to me Congress is doing the right thing when they say no to what they believe is the wrong thing for those they represent. Right… err…correct?

Not on your life — if the goal is to eliminate all things traditionally American. And if that’s the case, brace yourself for more Chicago-style gangsta’ politics to regain control of the House of Representatives in 2014. That’s why we will continue to hear incessant rants flowing from Obama’s mouth articulating a dishonest portrayal of the “checks” (Republicans) placed to keep him in balance.

We also see the creepy metamorphosis of Obama’s “Organizing for America” into “Organizing for Action” (OFA), which, according to The Weekly Standard, exploits “a loophole in campaign law and ethics regulations” by claiming it is an ostensibly nonpolitical “social welfare group.” Considering some of the emails they’ve sent and I’ve received, they’re about as nonpolitical as the 501c(3) organization Media Matters, of which Fox News claims is bias to Democrats and “maintains a close working relationship with the Obama White House.”

OFA is pimping out the POTUS at $500,000 a pop. Regardless of legality, OFA is raising “pay to play” to a whole new level. “You can buy four audiences per year with President Obama,” according to the Washington Examiner. And $500,000 is for what? A means to an end, I guess.

Those beholden to common sense can glance beyond the peripheral to see what’s undoubtedly happening. Had public welfare, by way of job creation or relief from exorbitant food and gas prices, been a priority, the momentum would be moving in the other direction five years in. Instead, Obama is bent on destroying the one thing, the GOP, that is keeping him from his dream of radical change.

The Soros Slander Machine

January 17, 2013 by 1 Comment

George Soros 2 SC The Soros Slander Machine

Imagine what it must feel like to be the only person in the world selectively excluded from participating in the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast, an event designed to pray for the nation’s future.

That’s what was reported about me by the George Soros slander machine Media Matters while I was out of the country last week.

It’s a helpless feeling to fight such a false allegation when you have limited access to Internet and you are committed to travel and other obligations for over a week.

What’s worse is when the lie is shamefully repeated, without any efforts to seek comment or clarification, by other news organizations, including the Christian Post. I would have thought this Christian news organization had heard of the sins of bearing false witness and spreading malicious gossip.

Fortunately, as I returned to the states yesterday, the organizers of the event issued a total repudiation of the article.

Rupert Murdoch Backs Obama’s Gun Grab

December 23, 2012 by 20 Comments

Rupert Murdoch SC Rupert Murdoch Backs Obama’s Gun Grab

An honest account of media misinformation after the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy has to take into account Rupert Murdoch’s tweet about the need to ban “automatic weapons,” when none was used to kill any of the 26 people. Can the chairman of News Corporation, the parent of Fox News, be this ignorant about the nature of gun laws and guns in America?

He asked, “When will politicians find courage to ban automatic weapons?” He urged Obama to exercise “bold leadership” on the issue.

Deep inside his story about the comments, Gabriel Sherman of New York magazine noted, “Despite Murdoch’s plea, automatic weapons are already illegal in the United States; Adam Lanza [the killer] used semiautomatics.”

In fact, automatic weapons are not technically illegal but are subject to extensive regulation and are very difficult to obtain.

One interesting aspect of this controversy is that left-leaning reporters such as Dylan Byers of Politico publicized Murdoch’s comments without correcting him. Others followed suit. “Rupert Murdoch demanded tighter gun control in the aftermath of the horrific shooting in Newtown, Connecticut,” reported The Huffington Post, without noting that his remarks were inaccurate and the “gun control” he talked about was already in effect.

This is fascinating because, in the past, liberal media have tried to claim that Fox News personnel spew misinformation about current events, leading to a lack of knowledge about important matters of public policy. Here is a case of the owner of Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and other properties saying something that is completely erroneous and irrelevant to what happened in Newtown, Connecticut.

But why would liberal publications not want people to know that Murdoch was in error? There are several possible explanations:

  1. They do not understand gun laws, either, and didn’t realize Murdoch was wrong.
  2. They don’t care that Murdoch was wrong and wanted to use his mistaken comment to spread misinformation to the public about the killings.
  3. They know Murdoch was wrong but wanted to use his comment to send a message to Fox News Channel hosts and commentators that they should get on the “gun control” bandwagon with their boss.

Some conservative-oriented news sites did correct the media mogul. “Early news reports indicate that automatic weapons were not used in yesterday’s school shooting,” Breitbart News reported, in a brief story about Murdoch’s comments. Indeed, no evidence of automatic weapons being used has turned up. Twitchy Media noted, “Closer attention to the reports coming out of his media properties would have informed Murdoch that automatic weapons weren’t used in today’s mass shooting in Newtown, Conn.”

Also oblivious to the facts, Malcolm Turnbull, who reportedly knows Murdoch, replied by saying that the politicians would act when pressured by the media and that “I suspect they will find the courage when Fox News enthusiastically campaigns for it.”

This, then, is why the comment is getting so much attention from the left. The political progressives saw it as an effort to send marching orders to the conservative news channel to back Obama’s controversial call for more legislation.

Media Matters, the George Soros-funded left-wing organization, jumped on the comments, contrasting Murdoch’s “Call For [A] Weapons Ban” with how Fox News Channel commentators supposedly were guilty in the past of “Extreme Pro-gun Rhetoric.” The “rhetoric” consisted of comments in favor of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

The New York Post, another Murdoch property, has already demonstrated Murdoch’s influence by following his lead and running an editorial on December 18 insisting that Lanza’s semi-automatic rifle somehow functioned like a “fully automatic” weapon. The editorial seemed like an attempt to justify Murdoch’s erroneous comments.

“It is very discouraging that Murdoch thinks that machine guns have anything to do with these attacks,” noted John Lott, the author of More Guns, Less Crime.“There are strong self-defense reasons for people to have semi-automatic weapons.”

In addition to such figures as Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America, Lott has been willing to take on those in the media, especially on CNN, who are guilty of spreading misinformation about the massacre. But he has not been invited to appear on Fox News to rebut gun grabbers like Murdoch.

Referring to Lott’s credentials as a FoxNews.com columnist, Eric Wemple of The Washington Post notes that the Fox News Channel is failing to use its “go-to guy on hand” to counter federal calls for more “gun control” legislation. He said Lott’s “low profile” on FoxNews.com since the killings suggests that the network and its website are “treading carefully” on the subject.

Rather than “treading carefully,” it appears that the Fox News Channel is marching to Murdoch’s directives, as revealed on his Twitter page. Perhaps Lott’s willingness to rebut Murdoch on his blog helps explain why he in particular is not being effectively utilized by the channel.

What’s worse, as Gabriel Sherman has reported, a Lott column about the differences between semiautomatics and so-called military style assault weapons was actually killed by FoxNews.com.

What we are seeing here is a coordinated attempt to use Murdoch’s erroneous comments to further a political left-wing agenda. Murdoch’s employees are capable of understanding that the comments are being exploited for political purposes. But it is quite another thing to say on the air that the boss is wrong and to keep churning out facts that contradict Murdoch’s dubious position.

We appear to be witnessing self-censorship on the part of Fox News, in order to serve Murdoch’s agenda.

Fox News has to be carefully monitored in the weeks ahead to see if the Murdoch comments have a continued impact on the channel and are used to muzzle the case for gun rights as Obama and his other media allies lay the groundwork for further restrictions on the Second Amendment.

The information source many conservatives go to for accurate and informed coverage appears to be going the way of the liberal media.

Are You Listening, America?

September 22, 2012 by 7 Comments

Obama Listening Tour SC Are You Listening, America?

America has become a nation of white noise. Noise that is attempting to drown out the truth, facts, reason, or just plain common sense of reality in America. What used to be “normal” has been turned on its head and made to look tainted, bigoted, or outright mean. Morality, once easily explained, is now “relative” to what it is being applied to. Patriotism is portrayed as symptoms of weakness for all those who choose to “cling to their religion, and their guns”! The white noise tries to drown out the words of our founding fathers so that evil men and women can try to convince us that our rights and liberties are NOT God-given, but government-given. It’s kind of ridiculous when you understand that it’s our God-given free will and right to chose that allowed us to form our government as an instrument to help us in collective situations, not make decisions for us as individuals. The white noise from Washington, D.C. is trying to obscure the fact that our government is there to work for us, NOT the other way around! The government is not, and was not, meant to be the driver of our lives, but the machine that protects us from our enemies outside (and inside) our country.

The white noise in the air is made to deafen us to the plans of those who would steal our liberties by trading a handout for more of our freedom each time we feel we need the government’s help. Ever watch the Amish raise a barn or help rebuild a neighbor’s house after some kind of disaster? “Normal” people laugh at their lifestyle, beliefs, and dress; but they are really the ones who are showing us (and the world) how we should help and treat one another.  The Amish have tried to isolate themselves from the modern world, but the white noise keeps pulling at their children to experience the world. It is a constant battle. The white noise in America has even infected our churches. Instead of salvation being preached as the simple yet most important message the world has ever needed to hear, too many churches are preaching a ” prosperity”  message.  ”God owes you, yes sir; if you do this and this, God is OBLIGATED to make you wealthy and prosperous. But if HE doesn’t, then you must be doing something wrong!” Seems like the ones getting prosperous are the pastoral staffs of these mega-churches. I believe that the Bible says, “go ye therefore and teach all nations…, not BUILD you own nation. The white noise calls leaders of mega-churches “preachers” because once a church gets too big for one man or woman to handle, then they can only preach and not minister to those who really need it. The white noise will drown out the question from that still-small voice that asks “is that what I did?”

Government was never intended to be your caretaker, mother, father, pastor, or God; yet the white noise will tell you to look to Washington D.C., who will be taken care of from cradle to grave. I believe a young lady named “Julia” tried to prove that theory, but it failed because the white noise couldn’t contain the American spirit of independence that built this country. The white noise is trying to convince Americans that this country should be a country of equal outcomes, not equal opportunity; but it doesn’t take in the most important question: “is there equal effort being utilized to achieve the same dream?” There is an old parable about the ant and the grasshopper, concerning their different perspectives on preparing for winter that serves as a rude awakening to the white noise in America.

The white noise in America tells its citizens not to look backward at its founding and its roots, but to throw off the shackles of its constitution and to make PROGRESS towards the future (when in reality, the white noise is merely steering the great empire of freedom unto the same rocks of history that led to the demise of so many other great empires that proceeded ours!) The white noise has convinced a select few in this world that they alone are worthy and intelligent enough to rule over mankind for their own good; yet the bodies of such individuals lie strewn across the landscape of history like so many fallen trees, along with those whom they have taken down with them. The white noise calls it “enlightenment” when in reality it is the slide into self-worship, depravity, and bondage. It is urging us to turn our back on the Creator and worship the creation.

The white noise in America is all a lie! Misinformation, disinformation, hollow promises, outright lies, and deception. Examples are easy to find: Media Matters, The Tides Foundation, Soros Foundation, Center for American Progress, Code Pink, advocates of socialism, Council on American Islamic Relations, the ACLU, and many other such organizations. Most  of our media today are nothing more than white noise because they have long since given up the search for the truth and core roots of a news story. They want to be “king- or queen-makers” rather than the filters through which the truth is shifted for the American public. Integrity and ethics have become the first victims of the white noise that we hear today. Corruption has become a “yawn” as far as the media is concerned. ” The phrase “get all you can, can all you get, and then sit on the can” pretty much describes what drives our leaders, from Congress right down to a lot of the churches where we worship today!

Our President, who has a half-brother named George, preaches to all of us that we “are our brother’s keeper”; yet a total stranger has to aid George financially because Barack couldn’t find the time or compassion to help even his OWN brother. The white noise coming from Obama seems to have a strong shrill quality to it. If you listen carefully, I think you can hear ” do as I say, not as I do” hidden in that noise somewhere. The way to defeat the white noise in America is to get on your knees in front of God (no, Barack, not in front of the mirror) and ask God for wisdom and discernment to find the truth. He did not give you ears to be overwhelmed by the white noise, but a strong heart and mind to know the difference. Adieu.

Hillary Clinton, the liberal darling of the left — lately touted as the replacement for our “gaffe-prone” vice president, Joe Biden — has certainly proven herself to be a team player on Obama’s and the Democrats’ policy of division and opportunism in all things racial. She has just completed a trip to South Africa, where she discussed numerous issues with Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, South African minister of international relations and cooperation.  The two politicians issued a joint statement for strategic dialog.

Here is a partial list of the strategic initiatives they agreed to:

  • the signing of a US$2 billion declaration of intent between the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. and South Africa’s Industrial Development Corporation to provide credit guarantees to stimulate development of South Africa’s renewable energy sector;
  • the launch of the US$500,000 Opportunity grants program, which will help disadvantaged South African students cover testing and application expenses, and international travel for study in the United States;
  • A collaboration between USAID, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Competition Commission of South Africa, to provide capacity building assistance to competition agencies in the Southern Africa region;USAID grants to assist with water resource management in the Limpopo and Orange-Senqu trans-boundary river

You get the idea about what this statement and trip were all about: building ties in a troubled world by reaching out to our global neighbors.  What was conspicuously absent was any statement from Hillary or Obama on the atrocities being committed against the Afrikaners in the region. Genocide Watch, an international alliance to end genocide, chronicles the crimes against the Boers by a member organization of the ANC (South Africa’s ruling party in power), and officials of the South African government are prompting Genocide Watch to place South Africa alternately between stage 5 (“polarization”) and stage 6 (“preparation”) of their genocide scale.

Since 1994, the Boers have been subject to random killings, rapes, and property crimes by members of the Youth League of the ANC and others.  Here is an excerpt from their statement by Genocide Watch:

Over 3000 white farmers have been murdered since 1994. The South African police have not made investigation and prosecution of these farm murders a priority, dismissing them as crimes by common criminals.  The government has disbanded the commando units of white farmers that once protected their farms, and has passed laws to confiscate the farmers’ weapons.  Disarmament of a targeted group is one of the surest early warning signs of future genocidal killings.

A recent outbreak of violent farm invasions has led to casualties among white South Africans. The farm invasions are direct results of calls by Julius Malema and his Deputy, Ronald Lamola for whites to give up their land without compensation, or face violence by angry black youths “flooding their farms.”

My personal favorite discussion point between Hillary and South Africa is the two-billion-dollar credit guarantees for renewable energy. Good to know her priorities are straight in elevating a decidedly leftist green international agenda above egregious human rights violations.

When we have such tyranny and genocide happening in South Africa, and Hillary is discussing “green energy,” we certainly know where Obama’s regime is on this issue: namely, tacit approval.  A search of the State Department’s website did not produce any condemnation for these acts or atrocities.

For instance, this video should curdle the blood of anyone, much less one from a “black” racial heritage, like Obama.  In short, the president of South Africa is singing a song in January 2012 that talks about exterminating the Boers from South Africa. One of the most telling lines in the song is “the cabinet will shoot them with the machine gun.” I hate to break it to Hillary, but when the president of South Africa implicates his own Cabinet in plans for mass extermination, this government is organized to commit genocide.

Here is the consequence of singing this hate song by President Zuma from the same Genocide Watch statement:

Since Zuma began to sing the hate song on 12 January 2012, murders of White farmers increased every month through April 2012, the last month for which there are confirmed figures.

And all Hillary can find to talk about is green energy?

Even worse, the Obama regime has clearly turned an official blind eye to such slaughter in the form of the recently renamed “fact sheets” on the State Department’s website on South Africa. These web pages make no mention of the Boers’ plight — another sign of tacit approval. The Bush administration used the traditional background notes and mentioned the racial strife and violence, as well as Obama until January 30, 2012 which was the last edition for South Africa before the creation of the fact sheets.

What is even more disturbing is this statement by Hillary on July 24, 2012 at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Forward-Looking Symposium on Genocide Prevention. She had the perfect opportunity to forewarn and telegraph South Africa at this symposium prior to her August trip, as she specifically mentioned several nations that were on the brink of genocide — but South Africa was conspicuously absent from her litany.

Third, we are enhancing our civilian surge capacity. We already have personnel trained to analyze conflicts and defuse potentially violent situations. Now we will be using those personnel to focus on atrocity prevention. We have deployed our Civilian Response Corps to countries such as South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Sri Lanka, and Kyrgyzstan.

Hillary later went on to mouth these words during the same speech:

Well, genocides and mass atrocities don’t just happen spontaneously. They are always planned. Genocides are preceded by organized, targeted propaganda campaigns carried out by those in power. Extremist leaders spread messages of hate often disguised as something else – a song on the radio, a nursery rhyme, or a picture book. The messages filter down. Those in power begin to dehumanize particular groups or scapegoat them for their country’s problems. Hatred not only becomes acceptable; it is even encouraged. It’s like stacking dry firewood before striking the match. Then there is a moment of ignition. The permission to hate becomes permission to kill.

Hilary’s silence on the plight of the Afrikaners in spite of objective evidence of her own measure and words is not enough for her or Obama to condemn the atrocities, clearly being instigated by President Zuma, his Cabinet, and member organizations of the ANC.

On July 26, 2012, Dr. Stanton, Chairman of Genocide Watch, informed the Minister-Counselor at our South African embassy (09:56 on video) about the organized atrocities and murders of white and Afrikaner farmers. This means that Hilary Clinton knew the gravity of the atrocities at least twelve days prior to her visit, and all she could do was play nice with their officials with diplomatic banter of little consequence, much less require the presence of the Secretary of State. These matters could have been handled by the Ambassador, so why did she go in the first place?

She is intentionally ignoring these atrocities before, during, and after her visit.

Instead of any affirmative action on the Afrikaners’ behalf, the newly created “fact sheet” was posted on the State Department website the same day that Hilary gave her genocide speech of the 24th.  The past references to racial violence in the background notes was removed from the fact sheets altogether, sanitizing it to tout Obama instead.  This was done two weeks prior to her official visit, no doubt tidying-up everything for her visit.

Her speech at the Holocaust Museum were merely a long string of platitudes and empty promises that reflect the failed Obama regime and ring hollow against the atrocities occurring in South Africa.

What other conclusion can be made?

Obama Surrogates are Polarizing our Nation with Racial Hatred and Political Division

When you factor in the prolific references to “race” by Obama’s surrogates, it makes one wonder what in fact they have in store for this nation. Joe Biden’s recent comment about placing people “back in chains” is an overt reference to our nation’s racial past. On a positive note, Charlie Rangel, the Congressman from New York, had an entertaining and correct assessment of Joe Biden’s remark.

However, what is more telling is this video from MoveOn.org, named “REVEALED: THE GOP STRATEGY.” (Hint: it’s racist.)  To wit, Obama surrogates are purposely fomenting racial hatred against the GOP and conservatives in this nation.

The liberal Super-PAC Haphak America has called for the destruction of the GOP and advocates that the Party be disqualified; here is a sample of their rhetoric:

Ruiz said, too, that the GOP has “become a subversive element by manipulating voter ID laws and rulings through their systematic strategy to disenfranchise 5 million voters, evident most recently in 3 key battle ground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, using these tactics to regain power.”

Their statements appears to prove a concerted effort between these leftist organizations as they are using the same 5 million voters that MoveOn.org uses when they discuss the fantasy of the so-called voter suppression campaign of the GOP.

How many other left leaning organizations are coordinating their assault?

The Daily Caller has uncovered evidence that Media Matters for America (another left leaning media organization) has been coordinating with the White House, other news agencies, and organizations to spread Obama’s agenda, spin, and perspective on various issues and has been doing so since he became president.

We also have the suppression by the MSM of all the black-on-white assaults and killings in this nation (reported only by Joseph Farah on WND and other conservative outlets) to complete the left’s efforts to polarize the nation’s electorate.

Parting Thoughts

It leaves me to wonder whether Hillary’s mission was a fact-finding tour to see firsthand how one actually instigates racial hatred against others. I wonder: would her and Obama’s stance be different if the Afrikaners and the Boers were anything but white?

Without belaboring the point, we know the left has a long and bloody history of genocide in the 20th century.  I cannot help but wonder what is around the corner when our own government will not condemn the atrocities in South Africa for what they are.

The silence from Obama on the racial hatred being spewed on his behalf is unforgivable and only shows how desperate he is to maintain his grip on the nation, regardless of consequences. Romney has started to respond to this with his “take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago” statement.  This nation is being polarized and torn apart; it is up to the citizens to stop this before it ends in anarchy.

Dr. Stanton gives advice to the Afrikaners and discusses our 2nd Amendment rights (04:14 on video) that we should heed if we or they are to remain a free and able people. His advice is simply to never disarm regardless of the laws that are passed to force a people to disarm; it is our last line of defense against tyranny.
