1964 Video: Barry Goldwater Attacked by LBJ for Warning about Social Security

English: Photograph shows head-and-shoulders p...

Below is a 1964 Lyndon Baines Johnson attack ad against Barry Goldwater for his desire to make Social Security voluntary.

Just about everything LBJ supported and that has become a United States government program, from his Great Society to stopping Social Security from becoming voluntary, has resulted in a tragic mess. The mess that Social Security is in is obvious as are the Great Society kids and grand kids that have been coddled by the state and provided a terrible education, and who now resort to flash mob attacks.

If the people only knew then what we know now.

They should have, though, if they understood theory.

Experts: Obama ‘sandbagging’ immigration policy, easing ‘amnesty,’ gaining votes

While the numbers of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. have leveled off during the Obama presidency, suspicion is rising about whether the president is pandering to Latinos to attract their votes in November.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents escort a man, center, after his arrest in connection with a document fraud case in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Wednesday Jan. 11, 2012. Fifty people have been accused of conspiring to sell the identities of hundreds of Puerto Ricans to illegal immigrants on the U.S. mainland in the largest individual fraud case ever for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, authorities said Wednesday.

“Despite the claims of the Obama administration that they’ve been tough on illegal immigration and that the border is more secure than ever,” Center for Immigration Studies director of policy studies Jessica Vaughan told The Daily Caller, “the fact is that they have gone to extreme measures and have really stretched the authority of the executive branch to try to slow down immigration law enforcement in the interior to a slow trickle.”

“The Obama administration can’t help themselves from overreaching,” Vaughan chuckled.

Vaughan pointed to a recent Immigration and Customs Enforcement settlement that awarded $350,000 to 11 illegal immigrants in New Haven, Conn. The plaintiffs had accused ICE agents of violating constitutional protections against racial profiling after they were arrested in the “sanctuary city” in 2007. The settlement also terminated the plaintiffs’ deportation proceedings.

“The administration has chosen not to defend the actions of its agency in doing its routine job,” Vaughan explained. “They have put pressure on all of the agents all over the country to avoid arresting illegal aliens.”

Federation for American Immigration Reform spokesman Bob Dane told TheDC the federal government under Obama has de-emphasized immigration enforcement in non-border areas.

Sarah Palin: Cannibals in GOP Establishment Employ Tactics of the Left

 Via: The Right Scoop

Read to the end on this one. This is Sarah Palin doing what she does best, ripping into the establishment:

We have witnessed something very disturbing this week. The Republican establishment which fought Ronald Reagan in the 1970s and which continues to fight the grassroots Tea Party movement today has adopted the tactics of the left in using the media and the politics of personal destruction to attack an opponent.

We will look back on this week and realize that something changed. I have given numerous interviews wherein I espoused the benefits of thorough vetting during aggressive contested primary elections, but this week’s tactics aren’t what I meant. Those who claim allegiance to Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment should stop and think about where we are today.

Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, the fathers of the modern conservative movement, would be ashamed of us in this primary. Let me make clear that I have no problem with the routine rough and tumble of a heated campaign. As I said at the first Tea Party convention two years ago, I am in favor of contested primaries and healthy, pointed debate. They help focus candidates and the electorate. I have fought in tough and heated contested primaries myself. But what we have seen in Florida this week is beyond the pale. It was unprecedented in GOP primaries. I’ve seen it before – heck, I lived it before – but not in a GOP primary race.

I am sadly too familiar with these tactics because they were used against the GOP ticket in 2008. The left seeks to single someone out and destroy his or her record and reputation and family using the media as a channel to dump handpicked and half-baked campaign opposition research on the public. The difference in 2008 was that I was largely unknown to the American public, so they had no way of differentiating between the lies and the truth. All of it came at them at once as “facts” about me. But Newt Gingrich is known to us – both the good and the bad.

We know that Newt fought in the trenches during the Reagan Revolution. As Rush Limbaugh pointed out, Newt was among a handful of Republican Congressman who would regularly take to the House floor to defend Reagan at a time when conservatives didn’t have Fox News or talk radio or conservative blogs to give any balance to the liberal mainstream media. Newt actually came at Reagan’s administration “from the right” to remind Americans that freer markets and tougher national defense would win our future. But this week a few handpicked and selectively edited comments which Newt made during his 40-year career were used to claim that Newt was somehow anti-Reagan, and isn’t conservative enough to go against the accepted moderate in the primary race. (I know, it makes no sense, and the GOP establishment hopes you won’t stop and think about this nonsense. Mark Levin and others have shown the ridiculousness of this.)

To add insult to injury, this “anti-Reagan” claim was made by a candidate who admitted to not even supporting or voting for Reagan. He actually was against the Reagan movement, donated to liberal candidates, and said he didn’t want to go back to the Reagan days. You can’t change history. We know that Newt Gingrich brought the Reagan Revolution into the 1990s. We know it because none other than Nancy Reagan herself announced this when she presented Newt with an award, telling us, “The dramatic movement of 1995 is an outgrowth of a much earlier crusade that goes back half a century.  Barry Goldwater handed the torch to Ronnie, and in turn Ronnie turned that torch over to Newt and the Republican members of Congress to keep that dream alive.” As Rush and others pointed out, if Nancy Reagan had ever thought that Newt was in any way an opponent of her beloved husband, she would never have even appeared on a stage with him, let alone presented him with an award and said such kind things about him. Nor would Reagan’s son, Michael Reagan, have chosen to endorse Newt in this primary race. There are no two greater keepers of the Reagan legacy than Nancy and Michael Reagan. What we saw with this ridiculous opposition dump on Newt was nothing short of Stanlin-esque re-writing of history. It was Alinsky tactics at their worst.

But this whole thing isn’t really about Newt Gingrich vs. Mitt Romney. It is about the GOP establishment vs. the Tea Party grassroots and independent Americans who are sick of the politics of personal destruction used now by both parties’ operatives with a complicit media egging it on. In fact, the establishment has been just as dismissive of Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. Newt is an imperfect vessel for Tea Party support, but in South Carolina the Tea Party chose to get behind him instead of the old guard’s choice. In response, the GOP establishment voices denounced South Carolinian voters with the same vitriol we usually see from the left when they spew hatred at everyday Americans “bitterly clinging” to their faith and their Second Amendment rights.

The Tea Party was once again told to sit down and shut up and listen to the “wisdom” of their betters. We were reminded of the litany of Tea Party endorsed candidates in 2010 that didn’t win. Well, here’s a little newsflash to the establishment: without the Tea Party there would have been no historic 2010 victory at all.

I spoke up before the South Carolina primary to urge voters there to keep this primary going because I have great concern about the GOP establishment trying to anoint a candidate without the blessing of the grassroots and all the needed energy and resources we as commonsense constitutional conservatives could bring to the general election in order to defeat President Obama.

Now, I respect Governor Romney and his success. But there are serious concerns about his record and whether as a politician he consistently applied conservative principles and how this impacts the agenda moving forward. The questions need answers now. That is why this primary should not be rushed to an end. We need to vet this. Pundits in the Beltway are gleefully proclaiming that this primary race is over after Florida, despite 46 states still not having chimed in. Well, perhaps it’s possible that it will come to a speedy end in just four days; but with these questions left unanswered, it will not have come to a satisfactory conclusion. Without this necessary vetting process, the unanswered question of Governor Romney’s conservative bona fides and the unanswered and false attacks on Newt Gingrich will hang in the air to demoralize many in the electorate.

The Tea Party grassroots will certainly feel disenfranchised and disenchanted with the perceived orchestrated outcome from self-proclaimed movers and shakers trying to sew this all up. And, trust me, during the general election, Governor Romney’s statements and record in the private sector will be relentlessly parsed over by the opposition in excruciating detail to frighten off swing voters. This is why we need a fair primary that is not prematurely cut short by the GOP establishment using Alinsky tactics to kneecap Governor Romney’s chief rival.

As I said in my speech in Iowa last September, the challenge of this election is not simply to replace President Obama. The real challenge is who and what we will replace him with. It’s not enough to just change up the uniform. If we don’t change the team and the game plan, we won’t save our country. We truly need sudden and relentless reform in Washington to defend our republic, though it’s becoming clearer that the old guard wants anything but that. That is why we should all be concerned by the tactics employed by the establishment this week. We will not save our country by becoming like the left. And I question whether the GOP establishment would ever employ the same harsh tactics they used on Newt against Obama. I didn’t see it in 2008. Many of these same characters sat on their thumbs in ‘08 and let Obama escape unvetted. Oddly, they’re now using every available microscope and endoscope – along with rewriting history – in attempts to character assassinate anyone challenging their chosen one in their own party’s primary. So, one must ask, who are they really running against?

  • Gerry Hudson, SEIU Executive Vice President and original New Party member, serves on the board of the Apollo Alliance organized by Joel Rogers’ group COWS Center on Wisconsin Strategy. The Alliance is a project of the Tides Center. Harry Reid credited the Apollo Alliance with helping to write the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
  • George Soros’ Open Society Institute is a major source of money behind the Apollo Alliance and the Tides Foundation.

Of course, SEIU laid out the plans for Occupy Wall Street Months ago, as brought to you by the Blaze in this exclusive video:

Holocaust Survivor’s View on Fanatic Islam

This is one of the best explanations of the Muslim terrorist situation I have read. His references to past history are accurate and clear. Not long, easy to understand, and well worth the read. The author of this email is Dr. Emanuel Tanay, a well-known and well respected psychiatrist


A Holocaust Survivor’s View on Islam
Auschwitz concentration camp, arrival of Hunga...

A man, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World War II, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism. ‘Very few people were true Nazis,’ he said, ‘but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.’

We are told again and again by ‘experts’ and ‘talking heads’ that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

Soviet POWs standing before a barracks in Maut...

The German Federal Archive guarantees an authentic representation only using the originals (negative and/or positive), resp. the digitalization of the originals as provided by the Digital Image Archive.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march.. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave. It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers.

The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the ‘silent majority,’ is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live in peace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of about 20 million people. The peaceful majority were irrelevant. China’s huge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a warmongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered its way across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda, which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the majority of Rwandans were ‘peace loving’?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points:

Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence.

Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, because like my friend from Germany, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peaceful majority did not speak up until it was too late. As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts — the fanatics who threaten our way of life.

Lastly, anyone who doubts that the issue is serious and just deletes this email without sending it on is contributing to the passiveness that allows the problems to expand. So, extend yourself a bit and send this on and on and on! Let us hope that thousands, world-wide, read this and think about it, and send it on – before it’s too late.

The Colorado Model & The Left’s Stratagem For Turning Red States to Blue

Labor Union Report

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” Sun Tzu.

Although it’s being deployed in several states like Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania and others, there are still many who have never heard of the Colorado Model. What’s worse, despite all the Left’s bemoaning of the “vast right wing conspiracy,” Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, or whatever enemy they can dream up, there is still nothing like the Colorado Model on the Right.

In sum, the Colorado Model is one of the Left’s most effective stratagems that was “built” to turn “red states” into “blue states” in a very short period (with the exception, perhaps, of the 2010 election cycle). When combined with the tactics of Saul Alinsky and his disciples, the Colorado Model is akin to a Soviet platoon armed with AK-47s mowing down a militia armed with slingshots.

According to a 2008 expose in the Weekly Standard, in 2004 and 2006 “routed Republicans, capturing the governorship, both houses of the state legislature, a U.S. Senate seat, and two U.S. House seats.

Conceived by four rich liberals, the Colorado Model is a fairly simple strategy:

Eric O’Keefe, chairman of the conservative Sam Adams Alliance in Chicago, says there are seven “capacities” that are required to drive a successful political strategy and keep it on offense: [1] the capacity to generate intellectual ammunition, [2] to pursue investigations, [3] to mobilize for elections, [4] to fight media bias, [5] to pursue strategic litigation, [6] to train new leaders, and [7] to sustain a presence in the new media. Colorado liberals have now created institutions that possess all seven capacities. By working together, they generate political noise and attract press coverage. Explains Caldara, “Build an echo chamber and the media laps it up.”

Unfortunately, the Right still doesn’t seem to embrace or, more importantly, understand the Colorado Model. What’s worse, because the Colorado Model requires cooperation, it is unlikely the Right will ever be successful in creating a model similar to that which the Left is deploying across the country.

Unlike Barack Obama’s OFA, which coordinates with the institutional Left, the Moveon.orgs of the world, hundreds of 527s, think tanks, unions, and the like, the Right largely consists of groups who work disparately, in disagreement with, and, often, openly fighting with one another. On the Right, we have the Keystone Cops facing the Red Army on the Left.

As opposed to disarray on the Right, the Left is largely unified in their vision, their messaging, and their tactics. As such, the Colorado Model is a prime example of the Left putting their ideas into action and, in so doing, turning America from a country of individuals into a country of collectivists.

Again, from 2008:

The Democratic surge in Colorado reflects the national trend, but it involves a great deal more. There’s something unique going on in Colorado that, if copied in other states, has the potential to produce sweeping Democratic gains nationwide. That something is the “Colorado Model,” and it’s certain to be a major topic of discussion when Democrats convene in Denver in the last week of August for their national convention.

While the Colorado Model isn’t a secret, it hasn’t drawn much national attention either. Democrats, for now anyway, seem wary of touting it. One reason for their reticence is that it depends partly on wealthy liberals’ spending tons of money not only on “independent expenditures” to attack Republican office-seekers but also to create a vast infrastructure of liberal organizations that produces an anti-Republican, anti-conservative echo chamber in politics and the media.

Colorado is where this model is being tested and refined. And Republicans, even more than Democrats, say that it’s working impressively. (For Republicans, it offers an excuse for their tailspin.) Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, a conservative think tank based in Denver, says Republicans around the country should be alarmed by the success of the Colorado Model. “Watch out,” he says, “it’s coming to a state near you.”

On the Right, after nearly three years of being engaged in the battle to save America from tax and spend collectivists, there is still a large knowledge vacuum in the nature of the battle, the groups and strategies involved, as well as the tactics used. America is nearing the end of a century-old ideological war waged by Marxists of varying degree—an ideological war that will determine the future of America. Until such time as the Right understands that fact and begins to work together, any “victories” at the ballot box will be fleeting and, in the long run, futile.

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: There Is A Very Uneasy Peace Between President Obama And The American Military.

The Ulsterman Report
by 

A fascinating two-part interview with a longtime D.C. political operative discussing the inner workings of the Obama White House and both political parties as they prepare for the upcoming 2012 Presidential Election:

PART ONE

Ulsterman:  If you don’t mind, I would like to do some simple topic association so that we might cover as much ground possible with the little time you have to speak with me today.

WH Insider:  Sure – as long as you ask me about Eric Holder.  That’s my focus right now.  Everything else – and there’s a lot of it…but everything else is in limbo until after December 8th.

Ulsterman:  Eric Holder it is then…

WH Insider:  Pay attention.  In a week or so.  The hearing.  That – we are reaching the-the moment of truth on Holder.  What do we got now…almost 60 members – members of Congress calling for his resignation?  And that’s just publicly.  There are Democrats voicing the same uh…the same suggestion.  I’ll say it to you again – you keep asking me about it, every time we talk so one more time for you…Eric Holder will no longer be Attorney General of the United States.  That-that is – you’ll see that happen soon now.  Very soon.

Ulsterman:  When?

WH Insider:  What?  You asking me – like a day?  A specific day?  I don’t have that…

Ulsterman:  Next month?  Next year?  When?

WH Insider:  Soon.  The hearing is in about a week, right?  December?  First week of December, right?  In front of Judiciary.  The Senate hearing went very well for us on this.  You likely don’t understand all of that – all of the…it went well.  That was among the most aggressive Senate hearings I’ve seen in a long time.  You don’t get that from them very often.  That was further proof that this thing won’t be put back in the barn.  It’s out and it’s a problem that isn’t going away for this White House.  And the cover-up…that’s there.  It’s known.  It’s been known.  The rope was let out, over and over and they just kept taking it up.  How did I put it to you months ago?  “We got them.”  Right?  Something like that, right?  Well – we got ‘em.

And let me say something else on this.  Might seem to be stating the obvious to you here but I want to say it anyways.  Eric Holder is about the most corrupt and…sinister – he’s the most sinister Attorney General this country has seen.  Dangerous.  He’s gone off the reservation all on his own from time to time.  I used to believe everything came through certain people, or a certain person.  But Holder has been running his own game on a lot of this stuff.  He’ll be forced out and then…the-the…and then the American people are gonna start to hear what was going on at Justice.  It won’t come out all at once.  They are working to cover those tracks as we speak – but too many got the goods now.  It’ll come out in drips and drabs.  They’ll try to minimize the damage for ’12.  It won’t work.  Not entirely.  We are seeing to that.  That’s what they are bumping into right now you see.  The political liability that Holder has become.  Back in 2010, they thought they could ride it out.  Delay.  Bury it.  Move one.  And they have been somewhat successful, but the information is getting out, and enough in Congress know they have to act on it or get their own fingers caught up in the machine.  That was seen during the Senate hearing – but that hearing was intended to set up for Judiciary coming up.  And after that…we got the foundation in place to force out a United States Attorney General.  I wasn’t privy to all of that until just recently.  Suspected it.  Had it figured.  Now it’s been confirmed.  What we are waiting on with this now is the on-the-record condemnation of Eric Holder from Democrats.  We have it off the record – but now we need it to go public.  Then the endgame is there.  This part of the plan is nearly done.

Ulsterman:  Jarrett vs Daley

WH Insider:  There is no “Jarrett vs Daley”.  She is out of her league.  I told you there would be a prominent staff departure, right.  You recall that, right?  That departure would be a-a signal.  A message that all bets are off if you will.  This White House is on its own.  Daley kept a lot of sh-t at bay.  Kept it controlled.  The little tit for tat sh-t with his announced departure followed up by them stripping him of his duties – whatever.  They got nothing.  Nothing on Daley.  They are so outmatched with that.  You see the media attacks against the administration since Daley announced his leaving?  You notice that?  The signal was sent out and now it’s on for this White House.  There’s gonna still be the ass-kissers.  The guys hedging their bets.  Hell, there was a time I was counted among them – but more and more are reaching the same conclusion I did last year – this damn administration has got to go.  This White House is…it’s as bad as – no, it’s worse than the detractors can think it.  Godd-mn dangerous is what it is.  For all of us.

Ulsterman:  Be more specific please.  Are you referring to something recent?  If so – be specific.

WH Insider:  Specific?  Yeah – it’s specific.  A whole sh-tload of specific.  Where to start?  You want a line on the military angle. Afghanistan?  Iraq?  How about the super-committee boondoggle?  How about that?  The blow up over that?  Inside the party?  All of that is swirling around – but my focus…right now it’s Eric Holder.  It’s Issa and others pushing this thing to its necessary conclusion.  For now everything else is distraction.  And that’s about all this administration has left – they sure as hell don’t lead do they?  It’s distract-distract-distract.  You know how frustrating it is to be working against the same damn tactics you’ve used yourself for years during how many campaigns now?  I am fighting against my own     godd-mn playbook!

Ulsterman:  How about the super-committee?  Tell me a little about what went on with that.  It certainly appeared the administration wanted it to fail.

WH Insider:  Want…didn’t want.  It’s not even that.  It’s like they didn’t even care.  What did the president do when the deadline was coming down?  He left the country.  He went golfing, gave a few more speeches, said Hawaii was in f**king Asia, right?  Shoulda been a Dan Quayle moment for him – another one.  But the media…enough of them still carrying the godd-mnwater for these people.  Whatever.  Enough heard about it.  But it gets old doesn’t it?  How many gaffes the man makes?  How many times he reveals to the world what a fool he is?  But there are still people saying he’s a smart guy.  I’m telling you – seen it up close.  Barack Obama isn’t smart.  Arrogant.  Immature.  Naïve.  Lazy.  You bet – but he ain’t smart.

Ulsterman:  Back to the super-committee…what happened with that?  The “boondoggle” as you put it?

WH Insider:  That mess actually feeds right into some of the other stuff…Afghanistan,Iraq – the military.  The fractured relationship that exists between this White House and the military.  All the way up to the Joint Chiefs apparently.  Some of them boys are extremely pissed off at this president.  If not for their devotion to a code of conduct…he’s not a popular guy.

Ulsterman:  That’s both repetitive and obvious.  Back to the super-committee – what happened?  Are the rumors it was intended to fail true?

WH Insider:  You just put me down?  Did you – did you just call me boring?  (laughs)

Ulsterman:  Let’s focus on the super-committee…the allegations of intentional failure floating around.

WH Insider:  Sure…intentional.  I think that intent was coming more from the Democratic leadership.  Not so much the White House.  Now I’m not saying the White House isn’t happy it broke apart – that scenario fits in with the “run against Congress” thing the re-election crew has come up with.  Harry Truman reborn or whatever the hell they think they are gonna pull off.  Sure as hell can’t run on Barack Obama’s incompetence and total f-ckuppery now can they?  It’s just the White House doesn’t have much direct input to Congress these days.  Been that way for some time actually.

But that committee, yeah, it was doomed at the outset.  The Dems…not all of them – the leadership…they want to cut defense and this committee was an ends to go and do that you see.  Create the mandatory cuts legislation that was part of the deal a few months back.  So those Dems get the cuts – the president gets his do-nothing Congress campaign theme, and the Republicans get the blame because the media keeps calling it the “Republican Congress” right?  That tagline has been in play all year long.

Where it got interesting though from an in-house standpoint, is the couple gentlemen who went to the leadership with a plan – a bi-partisan plan, to work it all out.  And each of them had support from their own parties – maybe 60-70 or so other members who indicated their support.  There were some folks in Congress who actually wanted to get something done on this.  And that’s been the case all along.  How many bills have been stalled in the Senate since 2010?  Hundreds.  The Republicans and some Democrats are sending things over from the House and Reid is trashing them.  And the guy who has plans to replace Reid as the Democratic Party leader in the Senate – John Kerry.  The Kerry office in fact is responsible for more of the anti-bipartisan tone than Reid.  So Kerry was the guy making certain the super-committee fell on its ass.  He is among the Dems who are still very loyal to the Obama White House.  There isn’t so many of them these days, but they hold the positions of power, so their influence remains strong.

Back to these two gentlemen though – these two junior members of Congress.  They tried repeatedly to meet with the Democratic Party leadership and were brushed off.  At one point they finally accused a staff member from a certain high ranking Democrat’s office of purposely setting up the negotiations to fail.  This staff member confirmed that was exactly what was happening and they would be better of just “shutting up and following orders.”  Now that pretty much sums up the attitude within the party right there.  Shut up and follow orders.  That was exactly how the Obamacare votes went down.  Shut up and follow orders and we lost a whole slew of good people in the 2010 elections because of it.  But that right there isn’t even the real meat of this little story.  When the staff member was pressed on why…when the two Congressmen asked if the president was aware the committee’s intent to fail may push the country on the brink of another credit downgrade, this little sh-t of a staff member said the following – in these exact words:

The President knows what we want him to know and nothing more.  That works fine for him and that works even better for us.  He doesn’t return our calls and we don’t return his.

Those exact words.  So what we have is a small group of Congressional Democrats – the leadership, completely dismissing the obligation to working with the President of the United States and that same president, who also happens to be a Democrat as well, completely dismissing the obligation to work with Congress.  Now to someone uninformed, that might not seem like much.  Big deal, huh?  Well, it’s a very big deal.  It’s a very dangerous situation.  It’s why the military boys are now coming out on record and criticizing a sitting Commander in Chief.  If those mandatory cuts go into effect, which will decimate the military budget, that puts the country at increased risk.  Look at the godd-mn world – it’s on fire right now!  This country isn’t feared.  It isn’t respected.  In just three short years President Obama has made the United States a fu—ing joke to the world. Russia…Putin – the guy mocks us. China is buying us up one treasury sale at a time. Iran tells us to f-ck off every day of the week. Iraq pushes us out.  We spent a trillion or two over there – how many lives, and they tell us to get the f-ck out. Germany…they think we are just about through.  Do you know that?  The chatter coming out from Germany – they think America is about ready to collapse.  They’re just deciding whether or not to intervene or let it happen.  50/50 they say.  Maybe one – maybe the other.  Share what’s left with China.

Now these two gentlemen make their way to the Republican leadership.  Get a meeting there – not just some staff member brush off.  They are told nothing can be done at this point until after the elections.  The Republicans seem to think they are gonna win the Senate and all will be better.  Poor dumb bastards that they are, right?  But at least they recognize the problem – which is sure as hell a lot more than the Democratic leadership is doing these days.  Those people are the problem.  And we got a movement from within the Democratic Party to take it back if you will.  A moderate movement going against the progressives – the f-cking progressives who have all but destroyed the party over the last decade.  We’ve always had our oddballs – our far lefters – no different than the Republicans got their crazies too, but you don’t give them the leadership.  You don’t make them the face of the party.  But that’s what happened.  All of that anti-Bush hysteria…the barbarians took the gate and we are just now realizing they ran as Democrats—

Ulsterman:  (Interrupts) —Who was the military – you said someone in the military openly criticized the president?  Who was that?  Was this recently?

WH Insider:  Now you see, that’s part of the problem.  You should have known about this – spotted it right away.  I’m not blaming you – but the example is…it’s – what’s the word here…it’s indicative of how the real stories are getting buried in the bullsh-t of the mainstream.  It’s why we set this thing up here.  Get it out and hope it percolates and eventually goes mainstream, right?  I get to share things here I can’t share publicly.

Ulsterman:  Who in the military criticized the president?  Openly?

WH Insider:  Joint Chiefs.  The very top.  And he wouldn’t speak for himself – that’s not how the CoC works in a situation like this.  When he spoke – he spoke for the United States military.  And he spoke out against the administration and what is happening to our Armed Forces around the world.

Ulsterman:  What was said?

WH Insider:  I don’t recall the word-for-word of it but the gist was this – that the relationship between the United States and Pakistan has never been worse than it is today.  And that indicates it has never been more dangerous. Pakistan – you wrote something on this right? Pakistan is a nuclear power.  Very unstable.  The same radical Muslims who are overtaking Egypt,Libya, and elsewhere have their sites set on Pakistan.  Push out the military junta replace it with a hardline Muslim fundamentalist government – only this time, those Muslims will have the bomb.

When the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff goes on record indicating the situation in Pakistan– and by default then you gotta say Afghanistan as well…that it’s the most f-cked up it’s ever been – that’s about as strong a rebuke of a current presidential administration as you’re gonna get from a member of the military at that high of a level.  And don’t forget – there have been other examples of the military speaking out against this White House.  There is a very uneasy peace between President Obama and the military.  And a hell of a lot of mistrust – on both sides. Dempsey was just recently appointed Chairman, but he was in there for a spell before that.  He knows damn well what’s going on – and I am told Obama had far less to do with Dempsey being made Chairman than Leon Panetta.  And it’s been Panetta who has been letting off the loudest warnings about slashing the military budget at this time, right?  And it was Panetta who oversaw the Bin Laden killing – not Barack Obama, right?  Dempsey has been warning about the possible military cuts for months now…anyone want to argue none of this is related they can have at it.  I’m not gonna play that kind of dumb though.  At least not anymore.  I am convinced there are forces at play here far more powerful than our little song and dance political warfare we got going here.  I just pray to God that if things break against us, these people are on our side.

Hackers group releases demands to Mexican government, bus companies

Slideshow
A hackers group known as ‘Anonymous’ has released a series of demands to the Mexican government and bus companies in order to halt a planned December 10th cyber attack.

The group released its five demands in an unlisted YouTube video sent to Action 4 News and other media outlets late Thursday.

Anonymous claims that the Mexican government and bus companies are covering up or not doing enough to stop kidnappings, rapes and robberies of passengers on Mexico’s highways.

The group is threatening to hack a series of government and bus company websites for a 24-hour period unless its demands are met.

Kidnappings

Action 4 News was the first media outlet to report about the mass graves found in San Fernando, Tamauilpas just 90 miles south of the Rio Grande Valley.

Authorities believe the 293 bodies are those of bus passengers abducted and murdered by members of the Zetas drug cartel.

Dozens of arrests were made in the San Fernando case but Anonymous claims the crimes continue in Tamaulipas and throughout Mexico.

Five Demands

In the YouTube video, Anonymous said that only 5 percent of Mexico travels by airplane while the rest travel by passenger bus.

Anonymous stated in the video that meeting their demands will improve security on the roadways for the Mexican nationals and tourists alike.

Anonymous listed the following five demands:

1) All passenger buses travel on tolls roads (which are more secure)
2) GPS devices be mounted on all passenger buses
3) Live, remote cameras be installed on all passenger buses
4) Armed, plain clothes “bus marshals” travel on passenger buses
5) Those arrested in Mexico’s drug war be treated under Geneva Convention

A spokesperson for Anonymous told Action 4 News via direct message on Twitter that both sides of Mexico’s drug war have stated they are war.

They believe the Geneva Convention and its articles for the treatment of prisoners should apply to prisoners taken in the drug war.

Bus Company, Government Response

Action 4 News had attempted to reach major Mexican passenger bus companies and Mexico’s federal police about the planned cyber attack.

Bus company officials could not be reached for comment but Tranpais said in a previous statement that their buses already have GPS devices.

Mexico’s federal police asked Action 4 News to submit an inquiry to their cyber crimes unit in writing.

Action 4 News sent the e-mail request but never received a reply.

Holder lashes out at The Daily Caller while refusing to address growing calls for his resignation

Embattled Attorney General Eric Holder today demanded The Daily Caller stop publishing articles about the growing calls in Congress for his resignation because of the failed Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking program.

As Holder’s aide was escorting the attorney general offstage following his remarks Tuesday afternoon at the White House, a Daily Caller reporter introduced himself and shook Holder’s hand. The reporter asked him for a response to the growing chorus of federal legislators demanding his resignation.

Holder stepped towards the exit, then turned around, stepped back toward the reporter, and sternly said, “You guys need to — you need to stop this. It’s not an organic thing that’s just happening. You guys are behind it.”

Holder then walked offstage without answering TheDC’s request for comment about calls for his resignation.

Watch:

Fast and Furious was a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program, overseen by the Justice Department, which facilitated the sale of thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartels via straw purchasers. Straw purchasers are people who can legally purchase guns in the United States but do so with the intention of illegally trafficking them into Mexico.

At least 300 people in Mexico were killed with Fast and Furious weapons, as was Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

Currently 52 members of Congress, three presidential candidates and two sitting Governors have called for Holder’s immediate resignation. Many of those lawmakers and political figures have issued statements exclusively to The Daily Caller in which they have called for Holder to step down. This is chiefly because TheDC is the most prominent mainstream media outlet covering this burgeoning international scandal. (RELATED: Members of Congress calling for Holder’s immediate resignation)

Holder is the nation’s leading law enforcement official and reports directly to President Barack Obama.

This was not the first time Holder has criticized The Daily Caller’s coverage of Operation Fast and Furious. In his first-ever unsolicited letter to Congress about the gun-walking operation on October 7, Holder criticized Rep. Paul Gosar for comments he made exclusively to TheDC. Gosar had said the Obama administration officials responsible for Fast and Furious were equivalent to “accessories to murder.”

Holder was the primary speaker at a White House event Tuesday intended to publicize a new national campaign stigmatizing the purchase of counterfeit consumer goods including clothing, medicines, software, songs and movies.

One of the ads unveiled during the event asked consumers not to buy such products because the money would help illegal gunrunners.
