One of the ugliest fallen human traits is greed. Leo Tolstoy once wrote a story about a successful peasant farmer who was not satisfied with his lot. “He wanted more of everything. One day he received a novel offer. For 1000 rubles, he could buy all the land he could walk around in a day. The only catch in the deal was that he had to be back at his starting point by sundown. Early the next morning he started out walking at a fast pace. By midday he was very tired, but he kept going, covering more and more ground. Well into the afternoon he realized that his greed had taken him far from the starting point.

He quickened his pace and as the sun began to sink low in the sky, he began to run, knowing that if he did not make it back by sundown the opportunity to become an even bigger landholder would be lost. As the sun began to sink below the horizon he came within sight of the finish line. Gasping for breath, his heart pounding, he called upon every bit of strength left in his body and staggered across the line just before the sun disappeared. He immediately collapsed, blood streaming from his mouth. In a few minutes he was dead. Afterwards, his servants dug a grave. It was not much over six feet long and three feet wide.”

It’s curious to me that we only criticize greed when it manifests on the personal level. Can’t we see what is right before our eyes in America; we have a civil government drunk on greed. It never has enough, not enough of our hard earned money, not enough of our possession, and not enough of our land. 640 million acres illegally and unconstitutionally held by the Federal government is not enough, they want to steal all the land. That’s what the ranchers out west are facing.

Ammon Bundy writing from prison this week explaining the problem of the Federal land grab and how they were teaching people to stand against it said, “On Friday afternoon, the 30th, (4 days after they were arrested and the government murdered LaVoy Finicum) residents surrounding Jordan Valley, Oregon, had scheduled a seminar with those at the refuge to come out and inform them of how they can protect themselves from a national monument that is to be signed in by President Obama this year, 2016. This monument is twice the size of Yellowstone, takes up a third of the county’s land mass, and will put over 250 ranchers out of business as they know it.”

The limits to the greed of our Federal Government seem to know no bounds. A people who will not be ruled by God’s law will suffer under tyrants, and by the way an excellent study of every passage in the Bible on taxation by Robert Fugate, concludes that God’s design for the Hebrew Republic was a very small tax that even the poorest could pay. That civil government was therefore also very small and did not regulated, control, spy on, manipulate, steal and murder the people to whom God gave the land of Israel. Oh to God for such a government today. Well what does the law of God say about giving? Turn to Exodus 22:29

The Command to give without delay – Exodus 22:29-30 “Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me. Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.” God’s command is that it be without delay.

The First Fruit – Deuteronomy 26:9-10 “And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O Lord, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God.”

The reason for the first fruit is that it took faith to do that. As a farmer you know you are not guaranteed the harvest until it is all in. It took faith to give God the first fruits.

A missionary had been teaching tithing to his church. One morning a young Christian came to the missionary’s door with a fishing pole in one hand and a fish in the other hand. He said, “Here’s my tithe.”

The missionary asked him where the rest of his fish were and the man replied, “Oh, they’re in the river, I just wanted to bring God His first.”

It demonstrates trust in God to provide.

On June 16th, 2015, flamboyant billionaire Donald J. Trump announced his run for the U.S. presidency, and the U.S. political world has not been the same since.

In Mexico, the Trump candidacy unleashed a firestorm of criticism.

Within minutes of Trump’s June 16th announcement speech, Mexico’s paper of record El Universal had an article on its website about it.

Trump was soon lambasted by Mexican politicians, ex-politiicans, officials, journalists and celebrities.

Yuriria Sierra of Mexico’s Excelsior called Trump ese hitlercillo del siglo XXI (“that Little Hitler of the 21st century”).

Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal proclaimed that Trump’s discourse is “hate discourse, and what follows next is genocide or civil war. I mean, that’s how it begins.”

Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu also weighed in against Trump.

Former Mexican president Vicente Fox, visiting Los Angeles, took a shot at Trump. That’s ironic. If any Mexican politician is similar to Trump in background and style, it would be Vicente Fox.

Felipe Calderon, another former president, also got in his two cents’ worth of Trump-bashing.

The Trump candidacy inspired the production and sale of Donald Trump pinatas (just a few days after his announcement) and Donald Trump masks were doing a brisk business in mid-October.

The Mexican video game company Karaokulta developed a game called Trumpéalo in which the player throws shoes, beer bottles and nopal cacti at Donald Trump.

Mexican writer Enrique Krauze and Cuban-born Carmelo Mesa-Lago (now at the University of Pittsburgh) organized an anti-Trump Manifesto, subtly entitled Declaración de Intelectuales, Científicos y Académicos Hispanos contra Xenofobia de Trump (“Declaration of Intellectuals, Scientists, and Academic Hispanics Against The Xenophobia of Trump”). The document had 67 signers, from Latin America, Spain and the United States.

In December, Mexico’s Ambassador to the United States, Miguel Basanez, announced on U.S. soil a plan to help 3 million Mexicans resident in the U.S. become U.S. citizens so they can vote. The announced plan was for private sector businesses to loan money to the Mexicans so they can register for naturalization.

Three months earlier, the ambassador had spoken of dual U.S./Mexican citizens voting against Trump, so it seems obvious this registration plan is a way to combat the Trump candidacy.

And thus it goes on and on….

Having resided in Mexico and being familiar with the Mexican political/media world, I don’t find this reaction very surprising. After all, the Mexican elite believes that the U.S. border with Mexico should be wide open and all Mexicans have a right to enter the U.S. with full benefits. Anything less is considered a grave crime against humanity.

Any proposal to tighten the American border with Mexico is going to be met with hysterical shrieks throughout the Mexican chattering class.

Certainly, Trump has offended many with his blunt way of talking. On the other hand, the American political establishment needs some shaking up.

Trump’s blunt talk has made it easier to talk about formerly taboo subjects, topics that had previously been swept under the rug by the bipartisan consensus and the media.

Such topics include the link between crime and illegal immigration, birthright citizenship and the relationship between Islamic immigration and terrorism. These are all topics worthy of discussion and Americans have a right to discuss them.

Trump has discussed outsourcing and the national debt. And his foreign policy indicates a willingness to adopt a more conciliatory tone in dealings with Russia.

Despite being a billionaire, Donald Trump has a great ability to connect with ordinary Americans. As a candidate, he’s been successful in winning over many potential voters who didn’t even vote last time around. One poll even indicated that 20% of Democrats would be willing to vote for Trump.

So yes, Donald Trump could actually win the Republican nomination and after that, the presidency next November.

If the American people choose Trump as their president, Mexico is just going to have to get used to it.

And I really doubt that, in the long run, a Trump presidency would be bad for Mexico.

Let’s say a President Trump really did shut down illegal crossings on the U.S.-Mexican border.

That would actually make the border region safer.

And it might even encourage Mexico and other Latin American countries to stop using the emigration as an economic strategy and instead to enact better economic reforms.

The Trump border policy, in other words, might be “tough love” for Mexico.

In the next week or so, the Council of the European Union will meet to discuss how well its ongoing commitment to provide for the millions of Middle Eastern, Asian and African adult males and other migrants fleeing the likes of Syria has been going.
But let’s just cut to the chase. The bureaucrats in charge are going to conclude A) the European Union needs to do more and B) the United States needs to do more. What’s not going to be determined, however, is the need for any sort of first-person attachment to those conclusions.
Germany’s Angela Merkel may double down on her national embrace of the migrants, rapists and all. But Germany’s Angela Merkel is never going to open her massively spacious Bundeskanzleramt-based apartment to taking in a few of these refugees herself.
Nope. That Price is Right “come on down” attitude has a boundary – and it weaves nicely along the border of Not In My Yard.
Politicians being politicians, nobody’s really surprised at their hypocrisy. Where it really nags, however, is in the religious realm. And where it’s really personified is in this continuing migrant crisis is in the pope, his church, and Vatican City.
Migrants are our brothers and sisters, in search of better lives, Pope Francis told the world, during a January address on Vatican Radio.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” he told the United States, during a September 2015 address on Capitol Hill.
“Behind these statistics are people, each of them with a name, a face, a story, an inalienable dignity which is theirs as a child of God,” he said in a November 2015 speech from Vatican City marking the 35th anniversary of the Jesuit Refugee Service, just days after a series of terror attacks rocked Paris and threatened to slow the flow of migrants into the area.
Noticeably absent during these speeches? Faces and photographs of the dozens of refugee families welcomed into Vatican City, the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and the home of the pope. The sovereign city-state sits on a 100-acre parcel of well-guarded, partly walled land by the Tiber River, and is home to some of the world’s most notable treasures, from art work to gold, as well as to the highly secretive – and highly profitable – Vatican Bank with untold amounts of assets and investments. Plenty of money to spend on provisions for these children of God, it would seem.
The world saw a glimmer of goodwill from the cloistered city when the pontiff, in a widely reported September 2015 address, called on every parish, monastery and religious community in Europe to take in a refugee family or two – and backed that call by vowing to house two such families in the Vatican. But weeks later, and the segregated city had only found one family worthy of welcome – and curiously enough, given the high Muslim population of the refugees, a Christian family belonging to the Melkite Catholic Church, at that. Within months, many of the Catholic Churches called by Pope Francis to do their moral duty and open doors to refugees abandoned the idea in seemingly similar fashion.

One can imagine the cry of the migrant standing outside one of the five armed-guarded doors that keep Vatican City secure: “Father, got a spare coin?”

It’s bad enough listening to politicians prattle on from tax-paid venues about the need to provide for the world’s suffering, before being escorted by armed officers to their chauffeured vehicles and dropped within the gates of their high-security homes. But having a religious leader wag moral fingers at the rest of us, from behind gilded screens and amid some of the world’s most precious of metals and treasures – from behind walls that protect this wealth from the riffraff of society – is just too much. It’s unChristian, and it’s everything people hate about organized religion. But Jesus said it best, speaking to the money-lovers of the time: “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!”

I have dutifully watched the recent Democrat and Republicans debates. I listened while twiddle dee and twiddle dum Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton tried to describe the difference between Progessives, Liberals, Socialists. At a town hall meeting in New Hampshire on October 30, senator and presidential candidate Bernie Sanders attempted to clarify in what sense he is a “socialist.” One voter in attendance, echoing the beliefs of many Americans, remarked, “I come from a generation where that’s a pretty radical term – we think of socialism with communism. Can you explain to us exactly what that is?”[1]

Sanders responded, in part “If we go to some countries, what they will have is health care for all as a right. I believe in that. They will have paid family and medical leave. I believe in that. They will have a much stronger childcare system then we have, which is affordable for working families, I believe in that.” Sanders went on to clarify that he regards himself as a democratic socialist: “What I mean by Democratic Socialism is looking at countries in Scandinavia that have much lower rates of child poverty, that have a fairer tax system that guarantees basic necessities of life to working people. Essentially what I mean by that is creating a government that worked for working families, rather than the kind of government we have today which is largely owned and controlled by wealthy individuals and large corporations.”[1]

Sanders, the only self- acknowledged socialist ever to be elected to the U.S. Senate, is careful to distinguish “democratic socialism” which supposedly distinguishes a democratic political system alongside a socialist economic system, from one authoritarian and even totalitarian forms of socialism such a Marxism, Stalinism, Maoism, and communism generally. Modern socialism’s roots may be traced back at least as far as the French Revolution, although earlier experiment in forced communitarianism, such as radical Digger and Leveler movement that sprung up during the English Civil War in the mid-17th century, have also cast long shadows.[1]

Socialism in its many subvarieties is but part of a larger political stream of thought that we might call “Utopianism, ” which presumes to create a social order contrary in human nature.[1] I wrote a 3-part series in September and October about Robert Owen’s dream of a Utopia.

Her’s one for you, people!

Robert Dilley wrote in his 1962 book MESSAGE FOR AMERICA had those who were elected and appointed to Government offices upheld the constitution which they took an oath to support, the U.S. would not have begun its course of gradual socialism and encroaching government controls. It is safe to predict that had we kept faith with our great system of freedom and free enterprise, socialism and communism would have failed throughout the world because of the tremendous contrasts. When the U.S. adopted the programs of the socialists and the communists, the issues were so confused that even men in our own government began to think that socialism would result in PROGRESS. Mankind’s oldest and most discredited mistakes were and still are being repeated under the title of PROGRESS and it is simple for those in other countries to point out socialistic trends in America and erroneously attribute these measures as the reasons for the success of free enterprise.

Of course, our elected officials did not obey their oaths so now that we have socialism/communism, there are some well known neocons claiming if we just have a “constitutional convention” …. But if they wouldn’t obey the original Constitution, what makes us believe they would do better the second time around? For an explanation about the difference between conservatives –vs- neocons, read Kelleigh Nelson’s series on Enemies on the Left, False Friends on the Right. Her recent article describes how the neocons are stacking the debate audiences with Jeb Bush supporters. All of her articles can be found at the top of her articles.

And then we have the Republicans debating the same old issues and using the same old talking points but not one said we should get out of the United Nations. James 3:18 Once again it was a Democrat president, Harry Truman who became a significant contributor to the globalist agenda when he led the U.S. into joining the U.N.

IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT

In July 1945, U.S. Senate approval of the UN Charter placed our nation into the world today. Impelled by the need to “try something else” in the wake of two costly world wars in less than 30 years, 89 Senators voted in favor, only two said No. There is much in the Charter that should have alarmed the Senators, but consider only the very brief article 25 which states: “The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter.” Our nation was now committed to doing the UN’s bidding (unless our veto was employed, which is rare). The Constitution had been trumped. That any U.S. senator who had sworn an oath to abide by the U.S. Constitution could approve the Charter’s Article 25 boggles the mind. But that’s what 89 Senators did.[2]

Then, in 1949, the United States approved creation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The pact derives legitimacy from Articles 51-54 of the UN Charter. Secretary of state Dean Acheson stated openly that approval of NATO was “an essential measure for strengthening the United Nations.” Only 13 Senators voted against putting the U.S. in NATO.[2]

After North Korea’s communist forces invaded South Korea in June 1950, the UN Security Council called on member nations to rush to the aid of pro-Western South Korean. Most didn’t, but President Truman did the UN’s bidding by sending America into what has labeled a “police action,” not a war. Asked where he derived authority to use U.S forces in that conflict without a declaration of war, Truman replied that, because he could send troops to NATO, he could send troops to Korea. NATO had served one of its purposes! Our forces fought in Korea under General James Van Fleet stated that “there must have been information to the enemy from high diplomatic authorities” that impeded the effort. Not alone in registering such a protest, it was clear he was pointing to the UN. With the UN still in charge more than 50 years later, the state of war in Korea has never been terminated.[2]

The UN soon created another UN “Regional Arrangement,” the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). President Lyndon Johnson (another Democrat) said it supplied authorization for the Vietnam war, the first war our nation ever lost. SEATO did its job and was soon abolished.[2]

BUSH WANTS TO TALK TO MOSES

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush asked the Lord if He could arrange a meeting with Moses for him so the Lord talked to Moses about that possibility but Moses said, “No way. The last time I talked to a bush I was left wandering in the desert for 40 years.” Exodus 3:2 Here we are today wandering around the Middle East for nearly 30 years.

In 1990, Republican President George H.W. Bush bypassed Congress and went to the UN for authority to invade Iraq. In 1992, he sought and obtained a Security Council resolution to send U.S. forces into Somalia. In 1993, Democrat Bill Clinton received UN authorizations to send troops into Haiti. In 1994, America’s forces responded to a UN resolution and attacked Bosnia. Only days after the horror of 9/11, President George W. Bush said that the actions then being taken against Afghanistan “have been defined by the United Nations.” The second invasion of Iraq in 2003 was authorized by Security Council resolution 678 and 687. And current reports from NATO headquarters in Brussels openly state that whatever our forces undertake in Afghanistan must be approved by NATO.

John F. McManus in his 2011 article entitled: Another War, Another Reason to Get US Out! said in conclusion that space prevented further discussion of the intolerable situation into which our nation and its military arm have been placed. But we do have sufficient room to recommend as strongly as we can that the U.S. withdraw from the United Nations, NATO, and any other international entanglement about which President George Washington had warned.

James 3:18 says there must be righteousness before there can be peace. Wouldn’t it be nice if this idea would reach the United Nations and Washington D.C., and all other capitals of the world. There is a day coming, Psalm 85:10 says when peace and righteousness will have kissed each other but today they don’t even know each other

WHAT ABOUT ADOPTIONS?

In the last debate the issue of abortion came up, GOP candidate Rubio stood firm on his position. Like all the others who followed in Ronald Reagan’s stance on the subject, they feel that rape, incest and life of the mother were exceptions. It is very rare that the life of the mother may be in jeopardy which leaves rape and incest OK for abortion. Rubio has it right. We have “Adopt-A-River” program where volunteers clean up waterways and two thousand Oregonians adopt sections of Oregon’s lakes, ponds and rivers.[2] We have “Adopt a School Program” with some private investment and even the ACLU approves so long as “no infusion of religious observance into the school system” which would mean no support of adoptions while school personnel smuggles young teenage pregnant girls out the back door to the abortion clinics.

PSYCHOLOGY 101

If you start with a cage containing four monkeys, and inside the cage hang a banana on a string from the top, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana, before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana.

All the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray All the monkeys with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original four monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm – because he is now part or the “team.” Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth.

Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Now the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

Finally, having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been!

This how today’s House and Senate operates and this is why from time to time, ALL OF THE MONKEYS NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME!

Quit psychoanalyzing your supporters according to atheistic Freudian principles of neuroticism and fear.

Headline news in The Guardian, UK, looks somewhat different than in the United States concerning Sen. Ted Cruz and his electioneering. Has “Trust” Ted created a fake PhD psychologist post-nominal title behind his lawyerly Harvard initials?

“Ted Cruz using firm that harvested data on millions of unwitting Facebook users Exclusive: Documents reveal donor-funded US startup embedded in Republican’s campaign paid UK university academics to collect psychological profiles on potential voters.” [Source]

Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign is using psychological data based on research spanning tens of millions of Facebook users, harvested largely without their permission, to boost his surging White House run and gain an edge over Donald Trump and other Republican rivals, the Guardian revealed.

A little-known data company, now embedded within Cruz’s campaign and indirectly financed by his primary billionaire benefactor, paid researchers at Cambridge University to gather detailed psychological profiles about the US electorate using a massive pool of mainly unwitting US Facebook users built with an online survey.

As part of an aggressive new voter-targeting operation, Cambridge Analytica – financially supported by reclusive hedge fund magnate and leading Republican donor Robert Mercer – is now using so-called “psychographic profiles” of US citizens in order to help win Cruz votes, despite earlier concerns and red flags from potential survey-takers. (Ibid)

While Ted and company (Cambridge Analytica) celebrate his Iowa victory because of data-mining, attributed to his “Big Data” by the news media, others are not as ecstatic as the Cruz Crew. In fact, many people are wondering why this creepy psychographic collection of personality profiling on American citizens would have any Cruz supporter cheering.

There are two facets of Ted’s data collection endeavors. First, Ted started with harvesting a base of voters using questionable privacy-invading activities. This was done by collecting personal data that he scraped off of Facebook and/or other personal and social data sources. And, second, realize that Ted is building his own sophisticated psychological model beyond those questionable sources, based on each individual user’s personalities, but without their knowledge or consent.

Virtually Cruz has set up door-to-door psychotherapy, coffee shop couches, email diagnoses, and psycho phone sessions. Here is how it works. Someone sharing a conversation with you at a coffee shop, or a phone solicitor, or a knock by a pollster at your front door, will diagnose and SCORE your “mental condition” surreptitiously, without your knowledge. So, without a person knowing your background or what you think, and without your permission, a digital psychographic profile is created on you. Meanwhile, back at the ranch the data-mining from other data sources is collected about you – e.g., are you a soccer mom? a working dad? what did you purchase last month? and do you own a gun? Add in your demographics and purchasing habits, including census data, and you begin to realize the full scope of 50,000 separate data points. Big Data is adding up your life and forming a Big Picture ABOUT you.

But, have you seen your profile? Is this really YOU? Someone is assuming what you’re thinking. But, WOW! Someone has also put a number and a score on your personality – and then continually micro-targets your perceived weaknesses or strengths with ads, focus groups, radio, and a ca-zillion email blasts daily, not to mention social media. Plus, you have to ask: where is all this Big Personal Data about ME going?

Cruz tells voters exactly what they want to hear, blurring the lines of truth into outright lies.

This is the manipulation of wholesome America. Citizens are being drugged with Cruzalizing diatribes. Meanwhile in your backyard he has been rubbish gathering and snooping, and then busily painting each person separately into a micro-whitewash of psychological profiling.

An article appeared in Bloomberg Politics, November 12, 2015 entitled, “Cruz-Connected Data Miner Aims to Get Inside U.S. Voters’ Heads,” by Sasha Issenberg, who traveled to the UK to investigate this futuristic phenomenon of Ted’s psychographic data mining. Issenberg even said, “The firm [Cambridge Analytica] promised to tell me things I might not even know about myself.” [Source]

Cambridge Analytica brags that they can predict your future behavior of voters by analyzing 5 big personality traits they called OCEAN. They have devised a plotted description attached to a numerical assessment that targets individual voters, based on a “psychographic score” of your presumed personality traits.

Here is what the not-so-complimentary acronym, OCEAN, stands for:

O – OPENNESS;
C – CONSCIENTIOUSNESS;
E – EXTROVERSION;
A – AGREEABLENESS;
N – NEUROTICISM.

‘The Cruz campaign modified the Cambridge template, renaming some psychological categories and adding subcategories to the list, such as “stoic traditionalist” and “true believer.” The campaign then did its own field surveys in battleground states to develop a more precise predictive model based on issues preferences.

‘The Cruz algorithm was then applied to what the campaign calls an “enhanced voter file,” which can contain as many as 50,000 data points gathered from voting records, popular websites and consumer information such as magazine subscriptions, car ownership and preferences for food and clothing.’

‘An email will be tweaked based on the personality of the recipient. If a respondent were a “stoic traditionalist,” the conversation would be very direct and to the point. If a potential supporter was labeled “temperamental,” the language and approach would change, according to Chris Wilson, the campaign’s director of research and analytics, who has taken a leave from the polling firm he leads, WPA Opinion Research. “The tone would be inspiring and become more and more positive as the conversation progresses,” he said.’

‘Cruz has largely built his program out of his Houston headquarters, where a team of statisticians and behavioral psychologists who subscribe to the burgeoning practice of “psychographic targeting” built their own version of a Myers-Briggs personality test. The test data is supplemented by recent issue surveys, and together they are used to categorize supporters, who then receive specially tailored messages, phone calls and visits. Micro-targeting of voters has been around for well over a decade, but the Cruz operation has deepened the intensity of the effort and the use of psychological data. The personality and political scores applied by the campaign are used to tightly tailor outreach to individuals. For example, personalities that have received high scores for “neuroticism” are believed to be generally fearful, so a pro-gun pitch to them would emphasize the use of firearms for personal safety and might include a picture of a burglar breaking into a home.’ [Source]

Christians especially and all other American citizens should be fuming. So, let’s get this straight. If you are a conservative and are fearful about the direction of this country, you are “neurotic.” If you are a gun owner, you are “neurotic.” If you fear immigration, you are “neurotic.” Are you confident in your beliefs? Are your fundamental personality traits characterized by anxiety, fear, moodiness, worry, envy, frustration, jealousy, or loneliness? You are “neurotic.”

“Cruz had a London-based firm on call to tell him which Iowans were introverted and which were neurotic.” [Source]

Demographics are one thing, but are we to assume that the Cruz psych team can do all this legally? Can these amateurs actually analyze our subconscious mind and stuff it into a computer – where it can travel far and wide?

Where does this junk science come from? You got it. Straight from Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers, and Carl Jung, the psychotherapy mental psychosis junkies. In Freud’s, The Future of an Illusion, he described believing in God as a collective neurosis: he called it “longing for a father.” Neurosis was a popular term coined by Freud and used by other psychoanalysts. Freud thought if a person believed in a supernatural God, they were neurotic.

So here we have an evangelical Christian politician utilizing atheistic/humanistic theories of psychological fear and feelings, which are being unethically collected and diagnosed by whomever. And upon this faulty foundation he is sorting through personal information about your unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behavior, in order to identify your personality – and especially your motivation so he can get your votes – all of which will be stored into some deep, dark databank. Is this for real? Are you feeling uncomfortable yet?

It gets worse. It turns out to be not just any old databank, but the RNC’s. This is because the RNC made Republican voter file databanks available to Republican candidates, with a promise in return. You guessed it… the candidate must give it all back, plus what they may have covered up. The list-sharing agreement reveals a new level of cooperation between the GOP and any Republican running for President, something which they believe could be highly beneficial to all sides.

For any candidate who signs an agreement with the RNC, that candidate will have access to a database containing a trove of information on more than 200 million Americans, which can be used to power a get-out-the-vote effort. And for the RNC, it means that any information a candidate collects from his supporters, many of whom may not even be traditional Republicans, will be fed back into the database for future use by the party and its candidates. [Source]

Now, here’s a little background about Ted’s psych business partner, a Brit named Alexander Nix, Cambridge Analytica CEO, who worked on “psychological warfare” as an international specialist in military disinformation campaigns prior to joining SLC, the parent UK company of Cambridge Analytica. Nix brought his mind-bending business to America.

“Your behavior is driven by your personality and actually the more you can understand about people’s personality as psychological drivers, the more you can actually start to really tap in to why and how they make their decisions,” says Cambridge CEO Alexander Nix. “We call this behavioral microtargeting and this is really our secret sauce, if you like. This is what we’re bringing to America.” (Emphasis added.)

“After the 2012 election, Nix found an American marketplace far more receptive to his entreaties. The overseas work in conflict zones amounted to a promising calling card, a new comparative advantage over entrenched American political firms. “This is really trying to use psychology to understand why hostile audiences do what they do, and to use this methodology to deconstruct that behavior and then use communication to try and change attitudes and ultimately behavior,” Nix says. “Persuading somebody to vote in a certain way,” he goes on, “is really very similar to persuading 14- to 25-year-old boys in Indonesia to not join Al Qaeda.” [Source]

Read that last sentence again. Just wondering by now if this makes you feel all warm and fuzzy….

To make matters worse, Mercer, the hedge fund magnate and owner of Cambridge Analytica, is also Cruz’s main benefactor that bankrolled his Make The Promise I Super PAC. But there is a little quirk in that slippery slope. Last June, Keep the Promise I Super PAC (the same PAC bankrolled by Robert Mercer of Cambridge Analytica) gave Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina a half million bucks. So the big question here is why would Ted Cruz give an opponent running for the White House $500,000? [Source]

Yet another twist and turn in this data-mining story reveals that Carly knows how to crunch data, too. After 9/11, a report showed that Carly, as CEO of Hewlett-Packard, was hired by NSA Director Gen. Michael Hayden to set up surveillance apparatus on Americans. The result was the world’s “most extensive” spy network, capable of intercepting every phone call, text message and email on each American. Hayden called Carly Fiorina and purchased spy equipment that would make the story of released security papers by Eric Snowden famous.

Carly worked with the CIA during the Bush administration, making recommendations for national security policy and developing a close working relationship with some of the most powerful officials in the administration. Hayden was named director of the Central Intelligence Agency by President Bush. He created an external advisory board, in which Fiorina was selected by Hayden to be chairman of the board. Carly knows how to crunch data. But did she share her secrets with Ted for a tip? We don’t know, but a fishy $500,000 comes to mind. [Source]

When Edward Snowden released and exposed the world-wide NSA data snooping interceptions, world leaders were alarmed. Americans were alarmed. It was found that NSA had a backdoor access, not only through Verizon, but to Microsoft and its Skype division; Google and its YouTube division; Yahoo; Facebook, AOL, Apple and PalTalk – a lesser known chat service owned by AVM Software. Then NSA had eavesdropped on German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone, an act for which she demanded a full explanation. Germans are extremely nervous about past surveillance by secret police. Mrs. Merkel grew up in the former East Germany, where the Stasi spied on millions of citizens.

Americans have not yet faced the full adverse affects of their government spying on their every move, except for the unusual activity over Tea Party 501(c)(3) applications. But, has Ted Cruz changed all of this by taking the beginnings of NSA snoop files and adding to them his psychographic details on 220 million Americans, lined up in digitized files? If Ted would become President, he would surely have enough made-up personality files on Americans to do a much better snooping job than the Stasi. What should make you uneasy is that Ted is identifying all “neurotic” Christians and God fearing people, and placing them as a target in one big data pot. Think about it.

Americans are very passionate about their privacy. But now, behind your back psychographics?! I’m sure citizens will not like this new Ted Cruz “Minority Report” resembling the famous other Cruise movie about monitoring and predicting your future behavior.

Wouldn’t you like to see Ted’s OCEAN profile? Is he comfortable with lying? Does he cling to his guns? Does he fear losing the White House? Let’s ask the question, “Is Ted neurotic?”

Senator Ted Cruz, the flaming Christian politician, who doesn’t act like one, turns out to be just a politician with a bent toward unethical principles. Freud would be proud of him. So, what are you thinking?

How can anyone “Trust” Ted?!

“Once there was the Stone Age, then the Bronze Age, and now we are in the middle of the Plastic Age,” said teenager Boyan Slat. “Every year, we produce 300 million tons of plastic. Much of it reaches our oceans.”

(We must clean plastic out of our oceans by utilizing 25 cent deposit-return laws internationally if we hope to save all the creatures in the oceans from dying horrible deaths by plastic ingestion, trapped in nets and killed by poisons. We need more ideas like Boyan Slat’s to correct our folly upon the planet.) Photography by Frosty Wooldridge

At 16 years of age, Boyan Slat scuba dived off Greece in the Mediterranean Sea to see more debris floating on and under the surface.

He said, “At first, I thought I was swimming through strange jellyfish. Instead, I swam through more plastic bags than fish.”

Seeing all the ocean trash, he asked himself, “Why not clean it up?”

Slat quit his Aerospace Engineering studies to create TheOceanCleanup.com in order to fund his research on how to pick up all the plastic trash floating on the oceans of the world. Researchers discovered that 46,000 pieces of plastic float on every square mile of Earth’s oceans. That plastic debris stems from billions of humans around the planet tossing their plastic into rivers, streams and directly into the oceans. Thousands of ships, boats and luxury cruisers toss millions of pieces of plastic day in and day out across the globe. Plastic does not break down. It oxidizes slowly into smaller pieces, but it never degrades.

Today, we find plastics in the tissue of birds, fish, whales, turtles, dolphins and just about every creature that feeds in the world’s oceans. Plastic debris constitutes a biological nightmare whose consequences reach decades into the future.

Additionally, with the five major gyres revolving in the oceans of the world, in excess of 100,000,000 (million) tons of plastic gather in giant ocean-going garbage patches. You may Google “The Great Pacific Garbage Patch” the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean 1,000 miles off the coast of San Francisco. It grows from 60 to 90 feet deep in places. It kills millions of sea birds, turtles, sharks, dolphins and whales.

Slat said, “We stuff the oceans with enough plastic equal to the weight of 1,000 X’s the Eiffel Tower. It ranges from plastic nets to miniscule pieces. It’s doing tremendous damage to our marine life, reefs and all ocean creatures.”

Being a brilliant as well as naive teenager, Boyan Slat decided to construct designs of some contraptions that would scoop up millions of tons of plastic floating on our oceans. Because of his enormous ideas, TED TALKS invited him to bring his ideas to a wider audience. Enjoy the 11-minute speech below. You will be shocked at what you see happening to our oceans:

Because of my worldwide scuba diving experiences, I saw the progression of plastics since 1965 when corporations first initiated plastics into the biosphere of this planet.

The plastic pollution problem

• Millions of tons of plastic have entered the oceans.
• Plastic concentrates in five rotating currents, called gyres.
• In these gyres there is on average 6 X’s more plastic than zooplankton by dry weight.
• 1/3 of all oceanic plastic is within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

Slat’s brilliant strategy combines his love of diving with his love of the biology of the oceans. He created a solar powered trawler in the shape of a manta ray that sweeps through the gyres 24/7 to pick up surface plastic, chew it up and store it in huge bins for collection. He also created floating booms that allow the oceans to sweep the plastics into their lairs for efficient pickup. When you see the designs, it will blow your mind.

“If we want to do something different to save our oceans,” he said. “We have to think differently. Ironically, those who throw their plastics face consequences. Ocean going ships spend $1 billion annually in repairs from plastic clogging their propellers and intakes.”

Ecological effects

• At least one million seabirds, and one hundred thousand marine mammals die each year due to plastic pollution. It’s probably much higher.
• Lantern fish in the North Pacific Gyre eat up to 24,000 tons plastics per year.
• The survival of many species, including the Hawaiian Monk Seal and Loggerhead Turtle, could be jeopardized by plastic debris.
• Plastic pollution is a carrier of invasive species, threatening native ecosystems.

Boyan Slat, a teenager, stands at the head of his class in creating solutions for the folly of humanity. He needs your support. Join him.

Health effects

• Toxic chemicals (including PCBs and DDTs) are adsorbed by the plastic, increasing the concentration a million times.
• After entering the food chain, these persistent organic pollutants bio-accumulate in the food chain.
• Health effects linked to these chemicals are: cancer, malformation and impaired reproductive ability.

If ever humanity needs leaders to stand up and be counted, we need more Boyan Slat’s to lead us out of our ransacking our planet home toward a biologically healthy future.

P.I.E (Parents Involved in Education) is a recently established organization to, among other things, abolish the Federal Department of Education. ABOLISHING THE U.S. DEPT. OF EDUCATION WILL NOT STOP THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT (ESSA) OR THE EDUCATION AGENDA!!!
Read all about P.I.E, who they are, their program, and why it will not work:
EXCERPTS
” Why won’t abolishing the U. S. Department of Education eliminate the provisions of ESSA that are now law?
Even if PIE is successful in 2-3 years (which is very unlikely due to majority of Republicans who voted for and enabled passage of the communist ESSA); even if funding ceases from the federal level, the multi-billion dollar corporations, whose lifelong school-to-work/non-academic Skinnerian/TQM workforce training agenda must be implemented at the local level, will pick up the multi billion dollar tab and get tax-exemptions for doing so.
THE BATTLE HAS MOVED BEYOND THE FEDERAL LEVEL
All the educational controlling mechanisms at the Federal Level are now at the State level.
It is the states that fund 93% of all education in America. “What’s the source of these funds? In most states, it’s sales and income taxes (both corporate and personal). But on a local level, these funds usually come from property taxes, which are set by the school board, local officials or citizens.”
In addition, the corporate fascist takeover of public education is on the move. Here’s how:
There is a growing movement across the country to establish state tax credits for corporations who fund school choice. Nineteen states already participate in this program In the year 2007-2008, $76,708,207 was issued to Choice Scholarship tax credits in just Florida.
If the Department of Education is abolished, will that stop attempts of state pooling of district tax monies to fund state education?
If the U.S. Department of Education is abolished, will that prevent legislation abolishing the present property tax system in order to place the funding and control of our local schools in the State Departments of Education? This kind of legislation was narrowly defeated in Pennsylvania in 2015. “The legislation would have imposed a multibillion-dollar state takeover of public school funding from school boards and a monumental change in state taxation.”
FROM THE STATE TO THE LOCAL LEVEL
If the U.S. Department of Education is abolished, will that prevent “teacher leaders” trained with all the Skinnerian/Pavlovian bells and whistles of “progressive 21st Century” education from moving into leadership positions and taking over all our local schools? This is according to the plans of Linda Darling Hammond, those from the Council of Chief State Schools Officers, and others.

To the above collectivist agenda add the local teacher-leaders program with plans of the powerful and heavily endowed CEE Trust (page 38) to set up a local Community Schools Board with an advisory board only. This teacher-led board, trained in progressive teaching methodolgies (i.e. Common Core et al.) would control all money and operations at the local level.

All the above TO CONTROL OUR CHILDREN can operate with or without the federal Department of Education.
The carrying out of The White House Private Sector Initiative, 1984, and Carnegie Corporation’s 1934 plan (which has been enthusiastically adopted by most of the major corporate giants: Gates, Walmart, etc.) can be accomplished WITHOUT ANY FUNDING FROM THE U.S. DEPT. OF EDUCATION! [for research related to The White House Private Sector Initiative and Carnegie Corporation’s Conclusions and Recommendation’s for the Social Studies]

Breitbart.com recently reported, “President Barack Obama’s administration is now deliberating whether to direct women to sign up for the Selective Service, because of its progressive preference for gender-blind policies. The administration has already forced the military to assign willing and unwilling women to combat tasks, where they are required to carry heavy loads, to quickly recover from routine injuries and to be engaged in direct combat.”

But Barack Obama is not the only one supporting the idea of drafting America’s young women into the armed forces (should the draft be reinstated). Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Marco Rubio have also signed on.

“The Republican establishment hopefuls in the 2016 race want the government to make women sign up for the modern version of the emergency military draft.

“Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jeb Bush, and Gov. Chris Christie all offered support during Saturday night’s ABC News’ 2016 debate for a federal mandate that would force young women to register for the Selective Service System.

“The Selective Service System was formed in 1917 and keeps a database on male U.S. citizens who are available for military conscription in some future emergency. Women are currently exempted, thanks to a 1981 Supreme Court decision that declared Congress’ men-only rule did not thwart the Fifth Amendment requirement of equal treatment.

See the report here.

But the 1981 Supreme Court decision notwithstanding, the U.S. government is seriously considering making America’s young women eligible for the draft. A PBS report states, “The government is deliberating whether to propose Selective Service changes that would make women eligible for the military draft, the White house said Friday, a day after the Pentagon said it would no longer bar women from combat jobs.

“The Defense Department has prepared an analysis of how the Pentagon change could affect the U.S. Military Selective Service Act, said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

“‘We’re going to work with Congress to look at that analysis, to review it, to get others’ opinions and determine if additional reforms or changes are necessary in light of this decision,’ Earnest said.”

The report concludes, “The Selective Service Act requires eligible men to register for the draft when they turn 18 or face fines. Registrants can be called up for compulsory service until they are 26 years old, though none have been drafted in decades.

“Carter has previously said he supports a review of the draft based on the growing role women play in the military.”

See the report here.

The idea of placing women in combat and now possibly drafting women into the armed services is the mark of a nation that has truly lost its way.

My daughter is above draft age, but my granddaughters aren’t; and I can promise you that it will be a cold day in Hades before my daughter and son-in-law allow their girls to be drafted. If our government really wants to create a resistance movement in this country, just start telling mommas and daddies that their daughters are going to be drafted into war. For starters, begin by asking our combat veterans if they are willing to offer their daughters to the horrors of war.

You can rest assured that the daughters of Barack Obama, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, and Marco Rubio will never know one day of combat–law or no law.

Yes, I realize that countless American wives and mothers valiantly defended their homes and families when under attack–whether from the French or British in Colonial America or from Indians on the trail west–but are we now prepared to force our young women into combat on foreign shores? What a horrible thought!

Our government is counting on America’s technological superiority on the sea and in the air as the impenetrable wall of protection for our country. Therefore, they feel free to use our military for social radicalization. But one day we are going to face a REAL enemy (as opposed to the phony ones we have been fighting for the past umpteen years), and when we do, we are going to learn once again that REAL wars are won face to face and man to man. And when that day comes, God help us if our armed forces have already filled half or more (there are more girls than boys, you know) of its combat ranks with young girls.

I shudder just thinking about it.

And on another note: I am on record as warning the American people that a “war on Islam” could quickly become a catalyst for big-government toadies to use the same definitions and protocols against the American people.

Watch my three-message DVD on “The Muslim Problem” here.

It didn’t take long to be proven right.

Countless television and radio talk shows, Internet blog sites, and churches all across America have spent the last two or three years regurgitating a hate-filled, anti-Muslim message. Both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have repeatedly injected the anti-Muslim message into their presidential campaigns. Tens of thousands of pastors and thousands of “conservative” talking heads have made anti-Muslim vilification a daily staple. And of course, the solution to the Muslim problem is…you guessed it: MORE GOVERNMENT.

Since early 2014, U.S. laws have become very broad and very strict in prosecuting anyone who is connected or associated with alleged Islamic terrorists. People who are convicted of providing “material support” (federal prosecutors are able to define that phrase in just about any way they want to) face median sentences of over fifty years in prison.

John Carlin, the Justice Department’s chief of national security, recently said in a Reuters news interview that his counter-terrorism team, including a recently hired counsel, is taking “a thoughtful look at the nature and scope of the domestic terrorism threat” and helping to analyze “potential legal improvements and enhancements to better combat those threats.”

The Reuters interview continues saying, “The counsel, who was appointed last October and has not been named publicly, will identify cases being prosecuted at the state level that ‘could arguably meet the federal definition of domestic terrorism,’ a Justice Department official said.

“That would give the department a direct role in more domestic extremism cases.”

The report began by stating, “The U.S. Justice Department is considering legal changes to combat what it sees as a rising threat from domestic anti-government extremists, senior officials told Reuters, even as it steps up efforts to stop Islamic State-inspired attacks at home.

“Extremist groups motivated by a range of U.S.-born philosophies present a ‘clear and present danger,’ John Carlin, the Justice Department’s chief of national security, told Reuters in an interview. ‘Based on recent reports and the cases we are seeing, it seems like we’re in a heightened environment.’”

See the report here.

In other words, the U.S. Justice Department wants to start treating American citizens who are deemed to be “domestic terrorists” in the same way that Islamic terrorists are being treated.

Not coincidentally, the featured article in the current issue of Newsweek magazine is entitled “Right Wing Extremists Are A Bigger Threat Than ISIS.” Of course, in the jaded world of the publishers of Newsweek, the SPLC, and scores of liberal think tanks and news outlets, there is no such thing as “Left Wing Extremists.”

And prominently displayed in the Newsweek article is a large photograph of LeVoy Finicum, the man who was recently shot by an Oregon state police officer (or officers) for allegedly reaching for a handgun after having resisted arrest on a remote Oregon highway. Finicum–along with Ammon Bundy and about twenty others–had illegally mounted an armed occupation of a group of empty buildings on a national wildlife refuge outside the small town of Burns in protest over continued mistreatment of western farmers and ranchers by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

Unfortunately, the death of Mr. Finicum has served to fuel more anti-government passions with comparisons to Waco and Ruby Ridge abounding–which, in my opinion, such comparisons do not exist. All this does is to play right into the hands of a U.S. Justice Department already looking for an excuse to pull American citizens–especially “right wing” Christians (albeit Bundy and Finicum both claimed Mormonism)–into the same category as Islamic terrorists.

To say that we Americans are living in jeopardous days is an extreme understatement. Very understandably, the American people are increasingly distrustful of their government, their news media, and even their future. We desperately need cool heads and wise hearts to peacefully and successfully navigate these troubled waters. And what we need most is leadership from America’s pulpits. But it’s the lack of pastoral leadership that has mostly created this mess to begin with. The good news is America’s pastors could help lead our country out of this morass. If only they would.

As an introduction to my thoughts on Lavoy Finnicum’s killing in Burns, Oregon, consider my article published in the Flathead Beacon’s Two For Thought weekly Opinion section:

The FBI and Oregon police killed a rancher, Lavoy Finicum, last week. Savoy joined Ammon Bundy, among others, for three weeks in occupying a refuge on public lands in Burns. Like many Americans, the occupiers believed BLM had been long abusing power. Police released one video of the incident (but not other pertinent surveillance). Was this killing lawful?

Under the Fourth Amendment, police who use deadly force have a burden to prove their actions were objectively reasonable in light of the facts and circumstances confronting them based on the totality of the circumstances.

Regardless of one’s view of the occupation, the video raises issues regarding police’ actions: (1) Why block the highway in nowhere-ville? (2) Why use snipers and a dozen-plus officers? (3) Why not use spike strips to stop him? (4) When exactly was Lavoy likely to harm police?—when shot, Lavoy was facing no police, could barely walk in deep snow and held no gun. (5) Lavoy had not just committed a dangerous felony and fleeing therefrom. (6) Police had prior opportunities to serve an arrest warrant in a safe manner. (7) Why immediately rush Lavoy and spark conflict rather than contain the area and determine his actions?

The occupiers did not convince the greater part of society to aid them, given their seeming “state of war” approach. Still, if our laws can condemn Lavoy, they can also condemn police.

In fairness, there are some who are not normally forgiving to government abuse but believe police were justified in killing Lavoy: one such notable viewpoint on this incident is my dad, Chuck Baldwin. I, on the other hand, believe the video suggests that police were not justified in killing Lavoy when they did–even assuming he had a pistol inside his jacket and was reaching for it.

After Lavoy’s death, his family was able to view his body. They released a press statement that they observed nine (9) bullet inserts in Lavoy’s body. Police have yet to release autopsy records or comment on that statement; however, reports record police admitting that Lavoy was shot several times.

For now, assuming Lavoy was shot multiple times, those shots had to occur before the last shot–the kill shot to Lavoy’s head, which dropped Lavoy to the snow-covered ground.

Since police did not release any audio or other videos–all of which they possess and could release–of the incident, the public does not know exactly when and how many times police shot Lavoy, with the exception of what appears to be the last shot to Lavoy’s head.

Regardless of whether Lavoy was shot 9 (as Lavoy’s family states) or a few times (as police state), the video shows that the last shot was the fatal head shot. Thus, the other shots were to his body before Lavoy was shot in the head. Of course, all of these shots had to happen within seconds after Lavoy exited his vehicle with his hands up.

If Lavoy was shot more than once in his body before the last shot to his head, this supports the argument that quickly after Lavoy exited his vehicle with his hands up (signaling his surrender) police shot him in his body. This would have caused Lavoy to drop his hands where he was shot.

Since Lavoy dropped his hands to his body and statements from both Lavoy’s family and police state that Lavoy was shot several times in his body, one must assume that Lavoy dropped his hands and placed them on his body where he was shot. Ironically, Lavoy’s dropping his hands in this manner was the alleged justification for killing Lavoy.

Did police create the “justification” of killing Lavoy by shooting him in his body, which caused him to drop his hands?

Still, assuming police did not shoot Lavoy in his body before they shot him in his head (which means they shot him while he was dead on the ground–why would they do that?) and assuming Lavoy was reaching for a pistol inside his jacket or pocket (which is it?), the video reveals that the police who rushed out of the woods and charged Lavoy killed him prematurely.

The video shows two police charging Lavoy (one from the bottom and one from the top of the video) immediately after Lavoy exited his truck. This rush approach was not only unnecessary, but also needlessly provocative under these circumstances.

In a real sense, police created the exigency needed to kill Lavoy for “officer safety”, similar to police creating the exigency of completely blocking the road in what appears to be a location that gave Lavoy very little time to slow down or stop his truck. (One would need to study Oregon’s and federal laws of when and how road blocks are to be conducted: there are limits by law. See e.g. State v. Boyanovsky, 304 Ore. 131, 134, 743 P.2d 711, 712 (Or. 1987) (ruling road block was unconstitutional); see also Nelson v. Lane County, 304 Ore. 97, 125, 743 P.2d 692, 70 (Or. 1987) (discussion of constitutionality of road blocks).

This is clear from the video: police did not give Lavoy a reasonable opportunity to surrender and enough time to assess the danger level. Instead of the heavy force of police maintaining their positions behind cover until such time as Lavoy clearly demonstrated his intent, police–who appeared little concerned about containing the safety of everyone and use as little force as necessary–immediately charged Lavoy and quickly shot him.

But here are the factors that essentially demonstrate that police killed Lavoy unjustifiably.

During the short and quick period of time that the two aforementioned police rushed him, Lavoy (1) could hardly keep his footing in the deep snow, (2) had no gun in his hand, (3) had no meaningful opportunity to draw a pistol inside his clothing quickly enough to take accurate aim and shoot any nearby police, and (4) was not even facing the two nearest police (who charged him) when he was shot in the head and killed. The totality of these circumstances supports the conclusion that he was killed prematurely, or at a minimum, calls into question the police’ claim of justification.

Assuming Lavoy would have pulled a gun at any time and posed a legitimate threat to a police officer, there were dozens of police ready and able to kill or disable Lavoy. This reality is what makes the actions of the two police who charged Lavoy appear so unnecessary, excessive and provocative. One must wonder how much training and experience the police had (especially who shot Lavoy) for these situations; what kind of briefing took place before the incident; and whether the rush tactic at a road block was preplanned or orchestrated.

Admittedly, more facts are needed to form a solid opinion here.

The government has a heavy burden of proof of justifying their killing of Lavoy. The released video and summary statement by police that since Lavoy was “going for a gun” police were justified in killing him do not meet that heavy burden: the totality of the circumstances simply does not appear to justify their killing Lavoy.

Police should release (as they should in time with demands from the Finnicum family attorneys) all of the evidence relative to the question, including:

• use of force reports
• incident reports
• police training manuals and certifications
• applicable warrants or court orders and affidavits in support
• written and recorded witness statements
• photos of entire scene and Lavoy’s body
• in-car video surveillance of all vehicles and drones
• police body-cameras of all officers
• police policy and procedures (state and federal) for use of deadly force
• briefing memorandums
• dispatch records
• road block planning memorandums
• officer duty and task assignments
• autopsy report
• ballistic reports

One interested in justice would hope that the government does not withhold, destroy, lose or fabricate the evidence. Whether you agree with Lavoy and the Oregon occupiers or not, the government must follow the law. Accepting any other standard places all political dissidents and protestors in the government’s absolute wrath and arbitrary use of deadly force. Liberty cannot survive in that environment.

Lastly, there are federal laws in effect to detain and prosecute “enemy combatants” and “domestic terrorists” who place themselves in a state of war with the United States. Notably, the federal and state governments did not treat Lavoy and the occupiers under such laws. Rather, they treated them as normal citizens of the United States who were simply breaking the law, such as criminal trespass, intimidation, and impeding an officer’s investigation/duty. Therefore, Lavoy and the occupiers deserved the same treatment and respect of the law as you and I.

Portland Oregon — While the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primaries were widely covered by the national news media, a number of conservative groups under the umbrella movement — the Oregon Liberty Alliance — held a moving political rally in Portland, Oregon, on Saturday, February 6.

The group’s 2016 Freedom Rally boasted a guest list of some of the nation’s top conservative voices including blogger extraordinaire and immigration activist Michelle Malkin, author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, and Fox News contributor Todd Starnes. The non-profit groups represented were the Oregon Women’s League, Oregon Anti-Crime Alliance, Oregon Right to Life, Taxpayer Defense Project, Oregon Family Council and others. [Link]

More than 1,700 people attended Saturday’s 2016 Freedom Rally for conservative values at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. The rally, put on by the Oregon Liberty Alliance, was to support fiscal responsibility, life, public safety, family values, and religious liberty.

This was the third year for the rally, and attendance has continued to grow. There were more than 750 people at the first rally in 2014, over 1,500 at last year’s rally and more than 1,700 at this year’s rally.

Rally attendees heard energizing and inspiring talks from Starnes, Malkin, Oregon Republican Congressman Greg Walden and D’Souza. Attendees could also visit booths at the rally and learn more about numerous conservative causes, groups and candidates.

Also attending the political rally were members of the management at the top news and commentary web site NewsWithViews.com. Unfortunately, some of the speakers were not enthralled with the leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

As Michelle Malkin was speaking and paused for a few seconds, the editor of NewsWithViews.com used the opportunity to shout out ‘God Bless Donald Trump.’

“Upon hearing that, she started attacking Mr. Trump: Malkin said, ‘He believes in Eminent Domain’ and will take people’s property.’ She was downright nasty and negative towards Mr. Trump,” said the editor-in-chief of NewsWithViews.com.

Senior Editor Paul Walter said, “It was disheartening for me to hear that because I know it’s a total fabricated lie. I love Trump, who I believe is a decent man with a heart of gold. I know without a shadow of a doubt that he is the only one who can save what’s left of my beloved America.” Mr. Walter, who attended the rally with his film actress wife Yutte Stensgaard, noted that out of all the speakers participating in the rally, Ms. Malkin was the only one trashing Mr. Trump. She did however, give Mr. Trump credit on the open border issue. said Walter.

“I find that surprising because out of all the candidates, Trump is the only candidate taking a tough stance on illegal immigration and our national sovereignty. Michelle Malkin gained national attention as a result of her tough immigration stance and her call for tighter border security and immigration enforcement,” said political strategist.

The Republican Party’s neo-cons are using Eminent Domain strategy against Trump because it works — it scares conservatives and libertarians. Mr. Walter and other political observers believe they are stooping to the use of a strategy employed by Adolph Hitler’s Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels: If you repeat a lie often enough people will eventually come to believe it.

“The Democratic Party uses that tactic frequently. For example, ask people who started the Ku Klux Klan, a large number of them will say the Republicans. The truth is, the Ku Klux Klan was created by Democrats. But the Democrats lied about that fact for decades until now college kids believe the KKK is a part of the GOP,” said former attorney and political consultant Joshua Tannenbaum. (read Kelleigh Nelson’s article “Voter Fraud? Thank Howard Baker”)

“The neo-cons are going on the offensive with this lie in the hope of putting Mr. Trump on the defensive,” added Paul Walter.

Mr. Walter also advises that NewsWithViews.com will soon release an article researched by Kelleigh Nelson that accuses Jeb Bush, when he served as Florida’s governor of being the real Eminent Domain villain. The article will reveal that on his watch the State of Florida wanted to confiscate Jesse Hardy’s 160 acres using the Eminent Domain strategy. Stalin said: “Accuse others of what you do”

Yet, the neo-con hypocrites are taking the advice of Barack Obama’s and Hillary Clinton’s mentor, Saul Alinsky: “Accuse others of what you do,” claims a former New York police detective and prosecuting attorney Rafael Menendez. “The neo-cons are accusing Trump of what they do [regarding Eminent Domain]. They know that people are gullible and the only way to stop Trump is with outright lies, dirty tricks and voter fraud.”

After the rally, NWV’s editor-in-chief spoke briefly with Mr. D’ Souza. “He told us that he has a new documentary film being released this summer — the week before the Democratic Convention — in 1,500 theaters across the nation in order to expose the lies, dishonesty and criminal acts of Bill and Hillary Clinton,” he said.

“This will defiantly help the Republican nominee. Mr. D’Souza was extremely polite and friendly. He encouraged us to see his new documentary movie the first weekend of the release because it will help launch it in more theaters across the nation,” said Mr. Walter.

Unfortunately only Dr. Ben Carson and Marco Rubio were GOP candidates with booths staffed by campaign workers passing out campaign flyers. There were upwards of 1,700 people in attendance. But no one was officially representing Mr. Trump.

A former deputy manager for the Romney for President campaign, who is now a devout Rubio supporter, Katie Packer, has made it her primary mission to thwart Republican front-runner Donald Trump’s nomination for President of the United States. In fact, Ms. Packer is credited with saying: If it bleeds we can kill it, obviously meaning Trump’s presidential ambition.

And it’s not a coincidence that Parker is linked to a mysterious Super PAC with ties to current GOP presidential hopeful Marco Rubio and her old boss Mitt Romney who are promising the Republican Party’s so-called establishment they will end the Trump juggernaut in South Carolina.

The Mitt Romney-linked Super PAC is telling donors and supporters that there is an all-out war to prevent the New York real-estate magnate Trump from getting the Grand Old Party’s nomination to run against Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

The anti-Trump effort is called the “Our Principles PAC” and is believed to be chaired by Ms. Packer who reports directly to the former Massachusetts governor who lost to Barack Obama in 2012.

Katie Packer’s chief complaint regarding a Donald Trump candidacy is that he is a RINO (Republican in Name Only). Ironically, she served on the campaign team in 2011-12 for the arguably chief architect of Obamacare, Gov. Mitt Romney, who ran as a Northeast Republic a/k/a moderate. Her opponents claim it is almost comical to hear her now complaining that “The Donald” isn’t a real conservative.

Packer is being supported by a number of GOP bigshots, including John McCain, in order to try to form a steady barrage of anti-Trump messages that will ultimately turn voters against the New York billionaire no one can buy.

Packer has also admitted she supports Marco Rubio, but says she is not affiliated with the Rubio campaign.

For example, Packer had her minions send out obviously dishonest pamphlets before the primary in New Hampshire. The mailing claimed Donald Trump was anti-Second Amendment despite his being given an award by a police firearms organization.

And while Packer has repeatedly refused to identify the people financing her Super PAC, which has already spent $2 million in Iowa. She now is preparing to spend millions more before the primary in South Carolina. Because of her links to wealthy GOP backers, it isn’t difficult to guess that her former boss Mitt Romney is expected to endorse Marco Rubio.

As previously reported in NewswithViews.com, the GOP’s political establishment has gone as far as advocating violence against their own party’s front-runner. Pat Brady, the co-chairman of the John Kasich for President Campaign, said in an interview that the only way to beat Donald Trump is with a “head shot,” a term used to describe a single-bullet killing. Once he realized the ramifications of what he said, Brady then claimed that his head shot comment regarding Trump wasn’t referring to a literal gunshot to the head.

Not to be outdone by Brady, Republican political consultant Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC and was more direct when he said the GOP political establishment has to “put a bullet” in Trump’s head

According to conservative firebrand and Trump supporter Ann Coulter, “FOX News is ignoring these death threats against Donald Trump. Disgusting.” And NRA firearms instructor Rick Smith noted, “Never thought it would be possible, but Fox now makes MSNBC look like a professionally run news media [organization]!”

I have always wanted to know how cars worked. If you are anything like me you are at a loss when something goes wrong and the vehicle doesn’t operate the way it was designed. Although I have had a great deal of experience DRIVING cars I have absolutely no training on how to FIX a car when it stops running.

That is why we have auto mechanics. They help us out when our ability to drive is useless because the car is not functioning the way it was designed. So, I decided to do something about it. I signed up for a class on how to repair cars.

It wasn’t cheap. In fact the mechanic who was training me told me that in order to take the class I would be required to pay him 10% of my gross income. He told me that this giving was required because he had a lot of overhead and that it was necessary to keep his shop open.

Plus, he told me that he was worthy of his wages because he had invested a lot of time and energy in learning about cars. He could always earn a living repairing cars, he told me, but that he thought he could be more effective if he trained others how to do it.

This way, he assured me, more and more people would live better lives because of their ability to take care of the cars they owned. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, he told me. If we simply learned how to better maintain our cars we would find that most of our car-issues would go away.

So I signed up for the class, promised to show up every Sunday at 10:00 am, paid my 10%, and took my seat on the third row of the auditorium.

The class started out really well. I had no idea how little I knew about automobiles and the history behind the companies that made them. The first week we learned about Henry Ford and how he started the whole automobile thing. We learned about the assembly line and how this was one of the keys to the industrial revolution. I quickly realized that there was so much about cars that I had never learned.

The 2nd week I showed up at Sunday with my 10% in hand and took my usual seat on the third row. The mechanic had improved his presentation and unveiled a new power-point system that made it easier for us to follow along. He gave us a manual to use but told us that we needed to read that at home in our spare time, but if we really wanted to learn how to fix cars we needed to faithfully come to class and let him explain it to us.

The class was exciting. Each week I attended, with my 10% in hand, the senior mechanic used his power-points to give us more information on cars. We learned about Chevys, Volkswagens, Buicks, Chryslers, and many other makes and models of automobiles. He gave us the history on each company, and exactly what differentiated the models from one another. It was fascinating as I learned about all of the different types of automobiles.

I was really becoming an expert on cars and he was the best teachers ever at explaining cars.

But something happened on the way to my 12th Sunday session. The car I was driving, a 2005 PT Cruiser sputtered and died on the way to the class. I struggled to steer the car onto the shoulder on the passenger side of the highway. I was dressed in my Sunday best with my 10% check hanging out of my shirt pocket and wasn’t exactly sure what to do next.

So I hopped out of the car, popped the hood and gazed into the pit where the engine was steaming. I don’t know if I had ever felt so helpless in my life. After 11 weeks of instruction ABOUT cars from an expert mechanic I came to the startling revelation that I still knew nothing about what makes an engine run. I was still not equipped to fix the car when it began to malfunction.

I had no other choice but to use my 10% check on a tow truck. The driver towed my PT to a garage where some greasy-handed mechanic quickly identified and repaired my mechanical issue. Needless to say, the delay caused me to miss the 12th class on cars.

I never went back to the class. So much of what I had learned about cars was informative…but useless because it had no practical application when the engine stopped.

Although the class equipped me with a diverse knowledge about the history of automobiles I still did not have the ability to repair my own car, and even worse, had no ability to explain to my children the intricacies of auto mechanics.

Last week I changed the oil in my car for the first time. Never before in my 63 years had anyone ever shown me how to do it. But I grabbed the manual that the senior mechanic had given me that day and I turned to the part where the author explains how to change engine oil.

I took the book with me and I went out into my driveway and followed the directions in the Book. Yesterday I took my wife out in the garage and showed her how to do it. It is so easy. I can’t wait to show all of my kids and grandkids.

I don’t have a degree in auto mechanics but I found out that if you simply pick up the manual and follow the directions it is easy to do. The Book also shows how to change all of the other fluids…and so much more.

Learning all about Henry Ford was interesting and all…but all I ever really wanted to do was learn to change my oil.

As far as the senior mechanic is concerned, to be honest, I don’t know if he really knows how to fix a car either. Every time I see him he is talking about cars but I don’t recall ever having seen him with his head under the hood.

I hate conspiracy theories. Lizard People. Annunaki from Orion. The guy around the corner posing as a retired pogo stick designer, when in reality he manipulates human history from his laptop.

But what am I to make of this? Agatha Christie wrote it in 1927: “The worldwide unrest, the labor troubles that beset every nation, and the revolutions that break out in some… [T]here is a force behind the scenes which aims at nothing less than the disintegration of civilization” (Christie, “The Big Four,” 1927).

I would answer her, “But it’s not behind the scenes—it’s right out in the open. We see it every day. We know who these people are, who are destroying our civilization. They tell us what they mean to do, and then they try to do it.”

A recent example: unnoticed amid the Superbowl hoopla, the brass hats at the Pentagon—aka bootlicking yes-men of the president—ordered all commanders, from now on, to “prioritize Climate Change” in all military plans and operations.

How do we even work out what that means? Can it possibly mean that, in case of a life-and-death military emergency, the commanding officer is supposed to sit there and try to calculate the “climate change impact” of defensive measures?

But we do have a “president” who insists that Climate Change/Global Warming is the No. 1 national security threat facing America.

This is crazy. It is criminally insane. And there sits Congress mum as mummies and every bit as useful. The commander-in-chief is wack-wack-wacko and they just sit there. Maybe they’re nuts, too.

But this is nothing, compared to the collective craziness that has overtaken Western Europe.

One is forced to wonder: what do they imagine is the end game of all this Muslim immigration? What are we going to see when they’ve finally finished importing violent, lawless, rape-happy Muslims into Europe?

So what’s it gonna look like? If we were to go over to Syria, would we find the country empty? Or would it be ISIS still sitting pretty, still beheading victims because, for their purposes, any old victim will do, and laughing themselves silly at the chaos and the failure of the whole Western world? Will we find the Europeans still in Europe cowering in shelters, kow-towing to every passing imam?

I don’t know what Angela Merkel and Co. are hoping to accomplish. I really can’t imagine what her end game looks like. But it does seem obvious, based on what these leaders and thinkers say and do, that their dream, their end game, has national borders abolished everywhere and a global government with themselves in charge of it.

You can’t call it a conspiracy when it’s done right under your nose in plain sight, with the bad guys, the Soros-Obama-Kerry crowd, writing papers and giving speeches about how the time for global governance has come, publicly bragging about how clever they’ve been in creating crises and using them to prod the world toward their micromanaged utopia.

Thing is, there are sane and even common-sense answers to these “problems.” Answers no one wants to talk about.

Would there be a Syrian refugee problem, if Syria were not allowed to be a hell-hole? What if all the civilized countries of the West acted together to exterminate ISIS, get rid of the Assads, and create a protectorate over Syria, where the military might of the advanced nations would be used to prevent anyone from turning the place into a hell-hole ever again. Then no one from Syria would have to flee to Europe, right?

Is there any sane reason for thinking that people who have turned their own country into a slaughterhouse will calm down and be nice in any other country? Why are the people of Europe forced to pay the price for their leaders’ fantasies?

But our American leaders are just itchin’ to do the same to us.

Because they’re crazy.

vote fraud as well, mostly on the Democratic side, but questions have arisen.

title was, “Ted Cruz Says Voters Don’t Want Attacks—Then Takes Aim at Donald Trump.” 

It appears that the GOPe wants Rubio as president, but when Trump jumped into the fray, this created a big block of votes, and the GOPe felt it had to be split. They seem to feel they need to keep Ted in the race for now to hold down the Trump coalition. 

Plans to Derail Trump

The Conservative Treehouse documents in detail how the GOPe plan was working as predicted, and how Mr. Trump has thrown a wrench into all their plans. The establishment had to modify everything they were doing when The Donald showed up. Levin, Limbaugh, Beck, Barton, Fox News, and the rest of them are all in on it. With Rand Paul and Santorum dropping out, weight will be thrown behind Cruz first, and then Rubio.

gang of eight” anchor baby Rubio, shows how the GOPe is working hard to oust the one who is not part of their globalist cabal. Oh yes, and Rubio endorsed Mitch McConnell for re-election.

Link] Fox News’ Vice President, Bill Sammon’s daughter, Brooke, is Marco Rubio’s national Press Secretary.

Gang of Eight

Conservative Tree Housetells what Ted Cruz is now doing in South Carolina. One of their readers sent in this information:

“I live in SC, and I received a call from TPC Polling – a push poll against Trump.

The last two questions came after I identified Trump as my candidate. They (recording) asked something about how Trump wanted to work with Putin, and “was that a good idea”?

Then they asked the slanderous question, saying that Trump wants to close veteran-owned small businesses because they made the neighborhood look bad, and does that make me very angry, a little angry, or not angry at all.

After that, the call disconnected.

It would appear Senator Ted Cruz’s campaign is picking up in South Carolina right where his campaign left off in Iowa – same tactics. 

Conservative Tree House has stated that it is not Kellyanne Conway’s organization. Her organization was not responsible for this push poll. There is another organization called Target Point Consulting, but we’re not sure they were the push poll organization either. Our apologies to Kellyanne’s organization.

If you read my last article, you understand why the New York Times Co. v. Sullivan Supreme Court decision allows media and public figures to get away with these types of lies, especially when Trump supports the veterans and has for decades. 

Lack of Discernment

Republican Howard Baker and Vote Fraud

Link] Suspect? I think so. In today’s world, there are no coincidences.

There is ample proof that twelve Indiana counties have more registered voters than residents. This is also the case in many counties in Ohio. Across the country, there are at least 160 counties spread over nineteen states that have more registered voters than residents.

Most aware Americans know about these breaches, only because of the diligent work of volunteers eager to help the RNC fight back. Since 1982, the RNC has been quiet, but they too are culpable. Their goal is to always elect one of their own establishment hacks.

This agreement between Baker and Byrd came about because Democrats in New Jersey, arguably one of the most corrupt states in America, complained that Republicans had been investigating voter fraud in predominantly minority districts. Among the specific charges was that off-duty police officers posted themselves at polling places to help insure voting integrity. [Link]

The GOP sellout started a long, long time ago. 

Conclusion

Voter fraud exists because fawned over, traitorous, Tennessee Senator Howard Baker, sold out the party and the American people. The only way we can counter it is to be precinct workers and watch everything very closely.

Donald Trump has a huge fight on his hands. He needs to come out with both barrels blazing now because the Cruz fanatics will use any subversive and underhanded tactic they can to get the votes.

There is only one hope, and anyone with any discernment and ability to research and read, knows it is the true outsider, businessman, Donald Trump.

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” Martin Luther King, Jr.

When rational environmentalism became radical environmentalism in the 1970’s, the aggression AGAINT the rural landowner has grown to an all out war ON the rural landowner, enforced by ever-growing, ever-expanding federal agencies that have morphed into a Nazi-like, heavily-armed police force. A way of life on the range that grew out of the American West and raised the protein that Americans consume, has been determined by the environmentalists and the government to be an anachronism and passé, in favor of the creatures and the plants. Legal grazing and water right allotments, with the force of law, have been unilaterally overturned by federal agencies, irrespective of the law of allotments, protected by U. S. Supreme Court decisions. Allotment fees have been raised by several factors and grazing and water permits have been reduced, or eliminated. Private lands have been saddled with massive buffers and conservation easements, or outright confiscation. Due process is a mirage as many landowners have found out the hard way.

We depict this ongoing assault on rural landowners in our video entitled, “Rural America in the Crosshairs.”

The government, at the behest of the radical environmentalists, has decided to turn the American West into a private reserve for flora and fauna where no human can go. Much of America has become off limits to any human activity. Ranches and farms are being seized and raided by government, or are being forced out of business by government actions. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) are the tools that government, the environmentalists and lawyers use to do their dirty work. The individual landowner is helpless when the all-powerful government sets its sights on a rancher or farmer.

In a recent article in the Independent Sentinel they wrote this:

“The land grabs began more than two decades ago.”

“Thanks to the extremists involved in The Wildlands Project of 1992 and their cozy relationship with greedy government bureaucrats, ranchers throughout the West are being squeezed off their land. The extremists work in conjunction with liberal Federal judges who aid and abet the theft.”

“Ranchers are having their cattle seized and being refused water and grazing rights so the government can take over Western land and declare it “open spaces.”

“The Wildlands Project, now called the Wildlands Network, works in coordination with the government and other extremist groups. They have “set aside the goal of preserving 50% of the North American continent as ‘wild land’ for the preservation of biological diversity, according to their own stated goals on their website. It conforms to the UN plan.”

“The Wildlands plan is to create larger public lands by acquiring private lands adjoining public lands. Re-wilding the land that they have set aside for nature, requires moving humans into human settlements.”

That’s right. The environmentalist’s stated goal is to move “man” out of the rural areas and into big cities with mass transportation, where they can walk or ride their bicycle to work. No cars. Cars are bad. National and international environmentalists have seduced the U. S. Government to pass legislation to further that goal and they are well on their way to achieving it.

Those that live in big cities and are dependent on government for just about everything, are all for shoving “man” off the land to join them in their dependent cities. Thanks to endless government and environmental propaganda on the airways, in newspapers, in our public schools and our liberal colleges, the general, un-informed public, thinks it’s a great idea.

People always say that times change and they do, but not so when you are raising America’s food and protein. It takes a lot of rangeland and water to raise cattle and sheep. It takes a lot of flat land to raise crops. If we give the land all away to the plants and animals and drive the ranchers and farmers out of business, what will American’s eat?

All across the West, resistance to government oppression, driven by radical environmentalism and Agenda 21, is on the rise. The government is restricting access to known water rights and cutting off access to private lands that must go through public lands, even though the access is granted by deed or allotment. The reaction by one landowner was swift and succinct. “Our fight was about our land. They wanted me to put a fence 180 feet from my creek and keep my livestock from using it. I paid for that land, and I’ll be damned if the feds are going to tell me I can’t use even a sliver of it.”

In the West, range wars were fought over water and grazing rights and fencing off the open range. Many people died in those wars. Then, it was private landowner at war with other private landowners or settlers who were fencing off the land for farming. Now the war is private landowners against the government.

But what the GOVERNMENT giveth, the GOVERNMENT can taketh away.

From the middle of the 1800’s to 1934, the government allowed virtually unrestricted cattle and sheep grazing on unreserved public lands. These grazing “rights” were called allotments. Then in 1934, it was determined that the government should better manage unreserved public lands and passed the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 that provided for the regulation of grazing and water rights. Currently, there are some 182,000,000 acres of public land under grazing allotments. 182,000,000 acres is larger than the State of Texas.

As we said, it takes a lot of land to raise cattle and sheep. The government allotments allowed ranchers to expand their herds on other than private land holdings. Those allotments came with water rights because you can’t raise cattle and sheep without water. Under the Taylor Grazing Act, the allotments were actual contracts with ranchers and were good for 10 years, but renewable. The ranchers had to pay grazing fees during the life of the allotment contract. Grazing cattle and sheep on public lands became a necessary and vital component of feeding a growing and hungry nation.

Along came environmentalism in the 1970’s and grazing cattle and sheep on the “public’s” land just wouldn’t do. Environmental laws were passed that mandated the government to take back the grazing and water rights on public land from the ranchers, in the interest of “protecting” the environment and the protection of endangered or threatened species. The environmentalists were intent, with government’s help, to re-wild America and they didn’t care that it was eliminating one of the vital components of feeding this hungry nation, land and water. To facilitate their goal, the government started dramatically raising allotment fees, or canceling allotment contracts at the end of the 10-year term. Unreserved public land for grazing and water rights was evaporating right under the ranchers’ noses.

Many ranchers have tried to fight back in the courts, only to find the courts were rigged in favor of the government and the environmentalists. The Wayne Hage family, Nevada ranchers, found out the hard way about just how powerful the federal government really is. The Hage story and others that have come up against an intransigent, dictatorial government, was chronicled in a Fox News Special entitled, “Enemies of the State.” That special can be viewed at the video below.

Over the last several decades, small, local skirmishes, sometimes violent, started erupting in different parts of the West, in response to the government and environmental land grab, which led to the Sagebrush Rebellion in the 1970’s. The skirmishes started to grow in size which culminated in the Bundy Ranch standoff in 2014 between 200 heavily-armed BLM agents and a couple of hundred private citizens carrying guns. A shooting war where private citizens would start dying in the desert for all to see at the hands of federal agents, wouldn’t play well with public opinion. The event was widely covered by the news media and the government wisely stood down.

Emboldened by the success of the Bundy Ranch standoff, Ammon Bundy, son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, with the help of a bunch of rag tag armed militia, took over the Malheur Wildlife Preserve in Southeastern Oregon. They came there in defense of Oregon ranchers’ Dwight and Steven Hammond, who ended up in jail on a trumped up arson charge at the hands of the BLM. The Hammond’s had continuous run-ins with the BLM over grazing, water rights and back-burn wildfires. The arson charged appeared to be a way for the BLM to get even.

By now, most of the public knows how the Oregon armed standoff ended. One man was shot dead by law enforcement and the rest have been or will be arrested. Those arrested will probably spend some considerable time in jail. The federal court in which they will be tried, will not be sympathetic, nor will any jury of their peers. It was a lose-lose proposition unless their martyrdom triggers more rural Americans to stand up and be counted. We have described the Hammond ranch events in Oregon on the NARLO website on a dedicated web page HERE.

A story out of Okanogan County, Washington further illustrates the divide between ranchers, farmers, government management of public lands and wildfires. That story can be read here.

But this isn’t the end of the story in the West. The government may have won this battle in Oregon, but they have only incited greater anger in Western landowners. Where that goes is anyone’s guess, but from our perspective and the reading of the tealeaves, it does not appear to end peacefully.

Many will ask, is the fight against government by rural landowners a righteous fight? After all, the government allegedly owns the land upon which the ranchers’ cattle and sheep are grazing. But isn’t the better question, does the government under the U. S. Constitution, have the right to own, control and manage the land in the first place? In Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17, the federal government is only supposed to own and control such lands as follows:

“To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings.”

If the literal translation of Clause 17 is true, then Ammon Bnndy, Wayne Hage and all other Western ranchers are right in their demand for the federal government to cede the public land back to the states and cease and desist government’s attack on the ranchers and farmers.

The issue is far from settled and this is what has given rise to the current conflict. When the government was reasonable in managing the unreserved federal lands, everything went fairly smoothly. But when government started clamping down on the ranchers’ legal contract rights to government allotments in the name of environmentalism, the smooth-running relationship between rancher and government evaporated and a land war has ensued.

When in a war, and we are in a war with the government, there are going to be all kinds of twists and turns and skirmishes in that war. The Oregon standoff was just one of the twists and turns. There will be many more to come as the wall between government and the citizens gets higher and higher. It has to come to a head eventually. We can only hope the outcome will be in favor of freedom and the Republic, but it is not a sure thing.

There are millions of Americans that still believe in individual, unalienable rights and want the government to stay the Hell out of their lives. Unfortunately, the government has shoved its ugly head in every “tent” and some of the people are beginning to balk, a totally predictable reaction to rising government oppression. The Oregon armed standoff was a symptom of the people’s resistance to that oppression, not a cause.

“In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.” – President Franklin D. Roosevelt

Outside of the fact that a good portion of Americans believe that The Clintons operate outside and above American Laws, the Clintons, along with other criminal players, have gotten America’s eyes off of Oregon. They have been found to be taking massive payoffs, while promising the Hammond Ranch and other “publicly owned lands” to Russians with one-fifth of our uranium ore. This is one detail the state-controlled narrative steers clear of concerning what is taking place in Oregon.

Recently, the lawless Hillary Clinton even came out of the closet sharing on her Facebook account about how her beliefs are aligned with the Ten Commandments.

During a town hall meeting in Knoxville, Iowa, a young woman asked Clinton, “I’m just curious how you would say that your beliefs align with the Ten Commandments, and if that’s something that’s important to you.”

“I am a person of faith,” declared Clinton. “I am a Christian, but I do believe that in many areas, judgment should be left to God…”

It’s interesting that she would say that because The Lord said just the opposite in Leviticus 26:15-17.

She goes on to state, “…being more open, tolerant (to the issues that are destroying America) and respectful of people who’ve had different life experiences is part of what makes me humble about my faith.”

This daughter of Belial advocates what God condemns with every word that comes out of her lying mouth and wicked heart (Jeremiah 17:9).

It is also interesting to note that without fail these wicked politicians talk of their “Christian faith” during the campaigns. Barack Hussein Obama did the same thing (Matthew 24:5).

This should be a wake-up call to all those who deny that America is a Christian nation. Today, 78% of Americans identify themselves as Christians. However, these politicians are attempting to appeal to the majority of Americans during their campaigns and, in-between, do the devil’s biddings at every step.

Also, when I pulled up Mrs. Clinton’s Facebook account, I notice there were other pages that have been set up in opposition to her, such as “Hillary Clinton Sucks,” “Hillary Clinton is WRONG for America,” and several titled “HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRISON.”

When I finally got to her page, there were a whopping 2,355,735 likes on her page!

Even more telling was that when Clinton was in her position as Secretary of State, the Associated Press reported that the State Department was buying Facebook “likes.”

In 2013, the State Department, which has more than 400,000 likes and was recently most popular in Cairo, said it would stop buying Facebook fans after its inspector general criticized the agency for spending $630,000 to boost the numbers. In one case, its fan tally rose from about 10,000 to more than 2.5 million.

But that isn’t all. When Hillary opened up her campaign in Iowa, there were actually more reporters who attended than voters.

Clinton’s Iowa campaign kickoff event roused a whopping 22 people! National Journal reports:

Gone are the soaring speeches and the big rally crowds, swapped out for roundtable discussions and meet-and-greets with local activists.

But the dozens of reporters both in the room and chasing after her van outside were a reminder of just how difficult it will be for one of the most recognizable public figures in the world to hold events that truly feel intimate.

On Tuesday, for example, Clinton was seated at a table with just seven other people for the discussion, with an audience of another 15. But those Iowans were far outnumbered by the dozens of reporters who were bunched together behind a thin yellow rope at the back of the room.

Indeed, despite some limits on the number of press credentials handed out by Clinton’s Iowa team—each outlet had one person in the room, and national television and photography was pooled—it still was a big group. Bigger yet was the press crowd outside, where reporters who weren’t admitted to the event chased Clinton’s van when it first pulled up here, contributing to the feeling of a media circus surrounding the former Secretary of State’s Iowa launch.

Clinton joked about the horde of reporters as the event opened, telling the seven roundtable participants: “Well, thank you for having me here—and a few of my friends.”

That is not all friends. According to her Twitter account as of April 14, 2015, Clinton had 3,351,547 Twitter followers. However, as the Daily Mail reports:

According to two popular online measuring tools, no more than 44 percent of her Twitter fan base consists of real people who are active in using the social media platform. And at least 15 percent – more than 544,000 – are completely fake.

Like her Alinsky comrade Barack Hussein Obama, who had more than 19 million fake Twitter followers, 56% of Clinton’s Twitter followers were created out of thin air. Simply put, they create the support that they do not have.

We know that the only ones who show up to her speeches are the state-controlled media in an attempt to make her campaign look legitimate. Remember America, this is nothing more than a Saul Alinsky tactic: Cause the enemy to believe that that there are more of you than there really are.

Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals

While many people in America may have been distracted by Cam Newton’s mystifying two-minute defeat interview, and Beyoncé’s “Black Panther” shuffle, Americans were strategically set up again.

Over Super Bowl weekend, President Barack Obama was working on his new $4 trillion budget set to be released on Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary, which will likely ensure it gets minimal attention.

WASHINGTON (AP) reported, “Typically these type of budgets are released on a Monday, but White House press secretary Josh Earnest says Tuesday’s release allowed hard-working administration employees and journalists a chance to watch the Super Bowl.”

“The 2017 budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 will combine proposals for new spending on infrastructure, education and combating opioid abuse with tax increases on corporations and wealthy individuals to keep deficits down. This will avoid proposing cuts to popular programs like Medicare, student loans or food stamps.”

Big Government Morphine economic solutions sound like a broken record, making statements such as: “We can’t cut Medicare, student loans, or food stamps,” or, “We have to increase taxes on corporations and successful Americans that generate wealth in our country.”

The temptation to covetousness is a very real sin to humanity and to the Constitution of We the People of the United States.

You see, stealing from certain socio-economic groups to provide for other socio-economic groups is, and always has been, sinful and destructive to the soul of man and any nation.

The Bible states unequivocally, “You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the POOR nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly.”

Seeing as the Bible is the source of authority for law in American Jurisprudence, I would say our economic policies are in a perilous position – which will bring retribution from the divine Author of Rights.

Thomas Jefferson forewarned us, “Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.”

Our Founders understood this, which is why Article One, Section Eight, of the Constitution enumerates no powers to the federal government to redistribute wealth.

With no lawful authority this redistribution of wealth becomes an exercise of breaking the law, the crime being “legal plunder,” a term coined by French economist Frederick Bastiat.

What is the consequence? We create a society addicted to the morphine of government entitlements, and once authorized we become too stoned to pursue a virtuous solution.

Morphine is a treatment used to help certain “so-called” heroin addicted people. The morphine acts as a substitution for the coveted drug, heroin.

For the sake of the comparison, lets call “heroin” the addiction of Americans who sinfully desire what does not belong to them. “Morphine,” or unauthorized entitlements, becomes the solution. Utilizing sympathy for the poor, emotional pleas for the less fortunate, and empathy for people who are not rich, the federal government treacherously steals wealth, property and the ability to pursue happiness from most Americans and instead gives the “morphine” of entitlement to addicted people among their ranks.

The legendary Robin Hood solved this problem by recovering from government what it had stolen and then redistributing it to those who were victimized.

I believe our solution is much more simple than the bow-and-arrow tactics of our friend from Sherwood Forest. We must reinvigorate Americans with the morality of a Biblically harnessed government and we sure could use your help to do this.

After the massacres in San Bernardino, Boston Marathon, Chattanooga and Fort Hood along with dozens of foiled attempts in 2015, our U.S. Congress continues importing Islamic refugee terrorists monthly by the thousands.

Would you invite a known murder into your house? Would you pay for him with your tax dollars? Would you allow him to travel throughout your house knowing that he could harm your wife and children?

Hundreds of thousands and now into the millions of Muslims slipped into America without any intention of becoming Americans. Total take-overs in Miami, Detroit and Minneapolis. Mexican illegal aliens march in the streets of America demanding their ‘rights’. That’s like a band of bank robbers demanding not to be arrested and allowed to keep robbing more banks by bringing in their buddies to help them.

What you’re seeing is a complete breakdown of the rule of law in America. What you’re witnessing: the colonization of America by other countries. Further, you’re watching Obama and your senators and House members aid, abet and assist this assault on the United States.

Congress imported over 4,000,000 (million) Muslims who stand with one of their leaders, “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” Omar Ahmed, director of Council on American Islamic Relations.”

Islam possesses no work ethic. Islam’s philosophy remains: conquest. Islam’s economic system means the conquerors live off the bounty of the conquered and look for new people to loot. You see it in Europe today, but Canada, America and Australia grow large in their cross-hairs. You may forget that the Middle East remains a desert, however oil makes its leaders rich, but it’s people remain illiterate and poverty stricken. Their oil gives the illusion of functioning economies, but foreign interests run their management of the oil fields. Importing millions of Muslims creates welfare and conflict within a host country.

Obama’s top aide Valerie Jarrett said this in 1977 in the yearbook at Stanford University: “I’m an Iranian by birth and my Islamic faith. I am also an American citizen and I seek to help change America to be a more Islamic country. My faith guides me and I feel like it is going well in the transition of using freedom of religion in America against itself.”

If you travel to Dearborn, Michigan, you see a complete and total takeover by Muslims known as a “caliphate” or nation within our nation. They practice de facto “Sharia Law” which subjugates women to the Islamic practice of female genital mutilation, honor killings and arranged marriages. They use our tax dollars to support their four wives, which the call “extended family.” In Detroit, Muslims fly the Islamic black flag and never fly American flags. They won’t sing our National Anthem or Pledge of Allegiance. They cannot and never will become Americans, but they will degrade America into Sharia Law with their growing numbers brought to you by Congress and Obama.

The latest report shows that 500,000 Muslim women in America suffered female genital mutilation, a barbaric practice of cutting a woman against her will into total loss of her sexual being. This 6th century barbarity in our 1st world country? How insane can we be to allow it?

“Immigrants devoted to their own cultures and religions are not influenced by the secular politically correct fa?ade that dominates academia, news-media, entertainment, education, religious and political thinking today,” said James Walsh, former Associate General Counsel of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. “They claim the right not to assimilate, and the day is coming when the question will be how can the United States regulate the defiantly unassimilated cultures, religions and mores of foreign lands? Such immigrants say their traditions trump the U.S. legal system. Balkanization of the United States has begun.”

Meanwhile in Arizona, “Illegal aliens cost taxpayers $69 billion annually (just in social services) in federal programs in 2014. Studies estimate that amnesty would increase that three fold. Perhaps as high as 80 percent of the violent crime in Phoenix area involves illegal aliens (according to Phoenix Chief Hurt and Mesa police violent crimes response team). Over 4000 homicide warrants issued by the Border States to suspects who are believed to have fled south of the border into Mexico.”

Citizen Robert Tecau said, “I am compelled to contact you regarding the ongoing invasion, occupation and colonization of the United States of America, by hostile enemies from Mexico and points south…an invasion that is being facilitated, aided, abetted by many U.S. politicians.

“Since when does a mob of hostile, foreign criminals, in this country illegally, have any say whatsoever in how our nation is to be governed, much less demand that they be extended the same rights and privileges as legitimate, law-abiding, U.S. citizens?

“Is it not yet obvious that we have reached critical mass with this terrible situation? What’s it going to take, another bloody Civil War, culminating in the deaths of countless Americans, before our federal government finally comes to a realization as to just how far down this dangerous rabbit hole they have taken us?”

One look at Paris, France or Berlin, Germany or London, England shows you the final ending of the immigrant invasion. You either vote in a president who will stop it, Donald Trump, or you watch your country being invaded by invitation of your own elected representatives.

Congressman Mike Rogers Introduces Bill to Get U.S. Out of UN
Citing wasted tax dollars and attacks on the constitutionally guaranteed liberties of Americans, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.) introduced a bill to restore U.S. soverei…
In my humble opinion, Donald Trump, if he wants to “make America great again”, should jump on this one … should support Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers bill to get the USA out of the United Nations. Support for H.R.1205, the American Sovereignty Restoration Act of 2015, could hand him the Presidency on a silver platter.
Even “normal” Democrats hate the United Nations. It’s only the hard-left Democrats, neoconservative Trotskyites, like the Heritage Foundation, leftist-oriented and New Age churches, the U.S. State Department, multinational global corporations, the Federal Reserve Bank, and billionaires from both political parties who support it.
When will thoughtless support for this evil, very elitist, atheistic communist organization cease?
There is no way any one of us can have victories related to the individual evils we are confronting in our nation and on this planet until the head of the octopus is cut off.
That head is the United Nations, and the evils are its affiliated organizations: United Nations Educational, Cultural, and Scientific Organization (UNESCO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and all other acronym groups, and the UN’s unelected/”controlled” non-governmental agencies.
The enemy of the majority of normal human beings living on Planet Earth, who want to be left alone, is the United Nations.
The groups mentioned in the above paragraphs will howl, and tell us unwashed humans how much we need this evil organization in order to:
(1) “keep the peace”. Oh, really?…remember the two “No Win” so called “peace actions”: Korea (1950-1953) and Vietnam (1961-1975), both of which were directed by a Soviet General out of the UN? Americans lost 54,246 soldiers in Korea and 58,209 soldiers in Vietnam;
(2) “educate/Marxist brainwash” the world’s population, using UNESCO’s Skinnerian/Outcomes Based Education, OBE/TQM/Communist Core to create a global workforce to spin off profits for the global elite.
(3) wipe out local wars, poverty and disease. There is more war/strife, poverty, and disease in the world in 2016 than there was prior to creation of the United Nations. Don’t believe UN statistics!
(4) control immigration (definition of “control” please!!!!);
(5) control population (through disease, abortion and euthanasia?);
(6) bring about sustainable development, through United Nations 2030 Smart Growth regionalism (communism);
(7) create “free trade” with NAFTA, TPP, etc. Karl Marx loved “free trade”.
(8) plans in the making to create a North American Union. If former President of he USSR referred to the European Union as the “new European Soviet”, what does that make the North American Union?
(and this writer could go on and on)
The UN is the head of the octopus.
Even if we succeed in cutting off the above-cited various tentacles of the UN octopus , which it appears we are unable to do, we cannot and will not win the global battle for human freedom, dignity, and prosperity until we (all citizens) focus on cutting off the head of the octopus, which designs, dictates and controls all the above activities, and throwing it into Hell where it originated.
Doesn’t the rest of the word deserve a crack at experiencing some of the wonders of the greatest experiment in human freedom, found in our own backyard…here in America?

Let’s not continue to allow UN directives and mandates to kill the United States of America, the goose that laid the golden egg, to which millions of foreigners have immigrated in order to enjoy and benefit from the freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.

Nothing will change for the better on this planet until the totally unconstitutional United Nations is abolished, never, ever to be resurrected in any form whatsoever.
Get out of the United Nations!
Support Cong. Mike Rogers H.R 1205, American Sovereignty Restoration Act!

The Republican field of contenders will likely be a lot smaller after the Nevada primary on February 23. At that point all of those who have not been able to be true contenders, with the exception of Jeb Bush, will lack the financial wherewithal to continue. Thus far we have learned a great deal about the strengths and weaknesses of the apparent major contenders.

Donald Trump remains a brash and direct populist with an ego that reaches into the stratosphere. He is decisive but has yet to present a position, beyond his tax plan, that enables Americans to determine whether, indeed, he will govern as an advocate of limited government and a return to constitutional restraints on power. He has repeatedly said that he will repeal and replace Obamacare (but with what?). He is committed to restoring American military power and wielding that power against terrorists. He has called for establishing a physical border, a wall, with Mexico paying for it, and for deporting illegal aliens. His rash personal attacks and unpredictable nature must engender fear in our enemies ISIS, al-Qaeda, and other terrorist groups; Russia; China; North Korea; and Iran. He is clearly an antidote to a weak and feckless Obama, who is manipulated with such ease by those who seek our destruction.

Ted Cruz is an intellectual with a deep appreciation for the Constitution and with an expressed desire to reduce the size and scope of the federal bureaucracy. He is also committed to a zealous military campaign against Muslim extremists, seeking to build an international coalition to effect that end, and to restoring American relations with Israel. He is also committed to repealing Obamacare. His tax plan troubles many because it depends on a Value Added Tax (VAT) system. The issue concerning whether he “stole” the Iowa primary because his campaign falsely represented to delegates that Ben Carson had dropped out of the race remains a character problem for him. That character issue will dog Cruz because he has represented himself to be an evangelical Christian and, thus, has raised the bar for himself beyond what goes as standard political fare these days. In other words, as a Christian, he is expected to follow the commandments and be honest in all his dealings with others. Using falsehood to achieve political victory makes him appear hypocritical, as does his failure to admit that he once supported amnesty for illegal aliens.

Marco Rubio is the most articulate candidate, whose soaring rhetoric conveys an optimistic message of American renewal. Despite strident attacks made by Cruz, challenging Rubio’s conservative bona fides, Rubio professes a commitment to limited government and to revoking Obama’s unconstitutional executive actions, repealing Obamacare, terminating the deal with Iran, and restoring the separation of powers.

Doubt remains as to what extent Rubio will devote himself to eliminating the federal bureaucracy, but no doubt attends his commitment to destroying radical Islamic terrorists, to rebuilding the American military, or to repealing Obamacare.

The good news is that any one of these three candidates would be vastly superior to either remaining Democratic candidate, one of whom, Hillary Clinton, is likely on the verge of being recommended for indictment by FBI Director James Comey (which may force an end to her campaign). The bad news is that millions in the Democratic Party have no problem supporting an avowed socialist for President, albeit the socialist agenda of the Democratic Party has been a mainstay since at least the start of the Obama Administration, just not labeled as such. That growing new left movement will be a force affecting the outcome of the general election. We shall see whether enough Americans still believe in this country and are willing to fight for the Constitution to save it from destruction at the hands of socialists.

A Class Act

People often mistake Donald Trump’s self-confidence for arrogance or even narcissism. But there is not a narcissist on the planet who would have put themselves into a position like Trump did to assist a competing colleague at the latest debate. 

The other names continued to be called, and proceeded as mentioned. But not Donald Trump, he remained with his friend thereby reducing the internal anxiety felt by Dr. Carson. 

Then, like a boss, when Dr. Carson was called to the stage, Trump waited and allowed Ben to get the audience response and appreciation. It takes a lot of courage to make split second decisions like this, and it shows a remarkable insight into the man’s character.

Make sure you check out The Classiest Debate Moment That No-One Noticed – Never Leave A Good Man Down… This shows the real Mr. Trump, a class act, unlike the rest of the candidates who just walked on by Dr. Carson. Make sure you watch the videos too.

The Stacked Bush Audience

If you watched the February 6th debates, you noticed it was another stacked deck against Trump. This time however, it was far more subtle than it has ever been on Faux News. According to Gateway Pundit, only 20 tickets were sold to Trump supporters. The rest of the audience appeared to be Bush supporters. 

Business Insider reported:

Frontrunner, Donald Trump confronted a Republican debate audience who repeatedly booed him during an exchange with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush: 

The audience loudly booed Trump, driving the back-and-forth off the rails. Trump said audience members were all members of the Republican establishment.

The booing continued. Trump said he was self-funding his campaign, so Republican donors weren’t a fan of his candidacy.

“The reason they’re not loving me is I don’t want their money.

Trump was right.

The audience was stacked against the GOP frontrunner.

Trump’s close associate Roger Stone tweeted out that the Trump camp was only given 20 tickets by the GOP!

Jeb Bush Attack

Trump who saved a Georgia family farm, is going to oust a homeowner who doesn’t want to sell? The town tried to condemn her property and take it, but she won the court case and kept her home.

Agenda 21 destroys private property ownership, and the Ford Foundation’s New States Constitution, waiting in the wings to replace our 1787 Constitution, does the same thing.

ABC News anchor David Muir and ABC News chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz were moderators. Additional questions were posed by WMUR political director, Josh McElveen, and conservative blogger, Mary Katharine Ham. The questions were not targeted to destroy a particular candidate as they were in the previous Fox News debates, but the audience was definitely stacked against Trump.

Was it stacked? You bet it was! For Jeb Bush! Nevertheless, Trump came off looking Presidential and answering the questions with perfect aplomb and skill. He was calm, deliberate, and had brilliant answers ready for every subject matter questioned. 

Despite the audience being very light on Trump supporters, purposefully only 20, I believe this was one of the better debates so far. If you missed it, you can read the transcript here.

Cruz and Rubio Should Bow Out

Vattel’s The Law of Nations, which defines “natural born citizen” from Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution. There were three copies of The Law of Nations at the 1787 Convention for the very purpose of defining “natural born citizen.”

Proof That Ted Cruz did Not Become an American Citizen at Birth, brings up some valid points.

Marco Rubio is an anchor baby and is not eligible. Despite being born in America, his parents were both Cuban citizens at the time of his birth.

The truth of the Constitution is this. To be eligible to run for President or Vice President in America, you must be born to two American citizen parents. Here again are two great articles on this very subject. 

The Elephant in the Constitution that No One References When Dealing with the Natural Born Citizen Issue.

More War With Cruz and Rubio

Foreign Policy Advisors

Several of the Republicans are using the same foreign policy advisors as Hillary Clinton. What’s the difference between Hillary Clinton and globalists like Cruz and Marco Rubio?

Beacon Global was founded in 2013 by former senior officials from the State Department, Department of Defense, and Central Intelligence Agency, and has more than a dozen clients, primarily defense contractors, according to Defense News.

here, and note the last paragraph:

Beacon Global Strategies’ seed funding came from Claude Fontheim, a former Clinton adviser who now serves as a lobbyist to the U.S.-China Exchange Foundation, a nonprofit reportedly used by Chinese government officials and Hong Kong tycoons to shape American policy toward China.

Conclusion

Despite the manipulation of every single debate to destroy Donald Trump, the support for his candidacy keeps growing. He is beholden to none of the groups the globalists are funded by. The people know, and the people want him. The only way this man will not win the nomination, and then presidency, is through fraud and corruption by the Republican party and the phony conservatives who so many people put their faith in falsely. 

And guess what? All the polls still show that Trump won this debate too. [Link]

“It is necessary to the happiness of man that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what one does not believe.

It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime.” -Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason

Fraud: deceit, trickery, breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage: mail fraud; election fraud. Farce: mockery; a sham.

All the jabbering about Cruz and Rubio, what their polling numbers are and their positions on the issues is worthless hot air. Neither one of them are constitutionally eligible to run for president. The most common lie I read from articles on the Internet from ABC.com to FOX and countless web sites from “experts” is that only one parent must be a U.S. citizen at the time of the child’s birth to qualify as a natural born citizen. That is not true and in Rubio’s case, both of his parents were foreign nationals when he was born. Rubio’s parents did not become U.S. citizens until he was four years old making him absolutely ineligible.

Any mention of Cruz’s eligibility is treated like a joke on some comedy show. Conspicuously absent is any mention of Rubio in the same vein. The reason why is quite obvious: Marco Rubio is the establishment’s back up plan to loser Jeb! Rubio will betray this country with amnesty. The corrupt media apparatus in this country from FOX to CBS to the NY Times continue to prop up the lie that only one parent need be a U.S. citizen. Donald Trump has brought up Cruz’s ineligibility while wasting his time and energy going up against two candidates, Cruz and Rubio, who have no legal right to even be in the race.

Trump has vocally stated if Cruz gets the nomination the Democratic/Communist Party USA will sue over Cruz’s eligibility. I am one who thinks that probably won’t happen. To do so would open the flood gates in proving the criminal impostor in the White House usurped the office of president.

Ted Cruz, using the Obama deception play book (Ted Cruz Cracks to Press: ‘I Am Secretly a Citizen of Ethiopia’ ) is ineligible.

Years ago under the state open records law in Illinois I requested a copy of Barry Obama’s candidate submission for state senator. Barry Obama filled out a form with absolutely nothing to verify his eligibility and was simply declared eligible. Incredible! The same damn thing is happening all over again with Cruz and Rubio and it has to stop.

The Illinois Board of Elections Got It Wrong: Ted Cruz Is Not a Natural Born Citizen, Mario Apuzzo, Esq., February 5, 2016 (Emphasis mine)

“The Illinois Board of Elections recently found that Presidential contender, Senator Ted Cruz, is an Article II “natural born citizen.” Lawrence Joyce and William Graham objected to Cruz being placed on the presidential primary ballot in Illinois, contending that he is not an Article II natural born citizen.

“The Board rejected the challenge and found that Cruz “is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth.” The Board so found because it said he “did not have to take any steps or go through a naturalization process at some point after birth.” The Board also had the audacity to cavalierly state: “Further discussion on this issue is unnecessary.”

“The Board erred. The Board’s ruling is an expression of Congressional Research Service attorney Jack Maskell’s baseless thesis of his definition of a natural born citizen. Not only is Maskell’s definition a fabricated and revisionist definition of a natural born citizen, it also is nonsensical. See Mario Apuzzo, The Fallacies of Congressional Legislative Attorney Jack Maskell’s Definition of a “Natural Born Citizen….

“For those born after the adoption of the Constitution, if one is a “citizen” of the United States but not also a “natural born citizen” of the United States, then one is prohibited from being President. The Twelfth Amendment requires that also the Vice-President be a natural born citizen.

“As we can plainly see from the text of Article II, today, if one wants to be President, one must demonstrate that one is a “natural born citizen” of the United States, not just a “citizen” of the United States. The text also does not say “citizen” of the United States at birth. As I will demonstrate, there is a critical constitutional difference between these two types of U.S. citizenships and that only a natural born citizen of the United States is eligible to be President. I will show that Ted Cruz might be a citizen of the United States at birth.

“But having acquired that at birth status by naturalization and not by birth alone, he is not nor can he be a natural born citizen. That Cruz did not have to go through any naturalization process after his birth, assuming that to be true, does not nor can it erase the fact that he was by law naturalized at birth by Congress through its naturalization Act applicable to Cruz when he was born in 1970. Needing Congress to naturalize him at birth, Cruz is not nor can he be an Article II natural born citizen.”

I encourage reading that entire legal analysis because the internal links are very important. I fully understand those who support either Cruz or Rubio and want him to be constitutionally eligible being disappointed. Believe me, a few weeks ago I had a few bad moments when the issue of Donald Trump’s mother came up; she was born in Scotland. But, Trump’s mother became a U.S. citizen several years before he was born. Since BOTH of Donald Trump’s parents were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth, he is constitutionally eligible.

If Winston Churchill Was Not Even a Citizen of the United States, How Can Ted Cruz Be Its Natural Born Citizen? (Churchill was made an honorary American citizen by JFK)

Once again, governmental bodies like the Illinois Board of Elections are refusing to verify candidates as to their eligibility to even run for president. I can already see cowardly dismissals by Secretary’s of States for the lawsuits already filed. Contrary to the lies put forth by the alphabet soup networks including pro-Rubio FOX News Network (Megyn Kelly Praises Marco Rubio: ‘You Are Very Smooth’) (The 5 Basic Questions Megyn Kelly Forgot to Ask Marco Rubio) (The Anti-Trump Network: Fox News Money Flows into Open Borders Group), not a single case has ever been decided on the core issue of natural born.

• Phyllis Schlafly Issues 15 PAGE ‘Rubio Betrayal Memo’
• Schlafly unloads on Rubio: ‘He betrayed us all’- Conservative icon calls media favorite ‘lackey for the establishment’
• Senior Senate Staffer Reveals Shocking Marco Rubio Story You’ve Never Heard… ICE Agent Kicked Out of Immigration Hearing

What can Donald Trump do? If it were me I would retain Dr. Edwin Vieira (if he agrees) as a legal consultant. There have been commentaries about the danger of this issue going before the rotten, corrupt U.S. Supreme Court. Edwin has been there: “In the Supreme Court of the United States he successfully argued or briefed the cases leading to the landmark decisions Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, and Communications Workers of America v. Beck, which established constitutional and statutory limitations on the uses to which labor unions, in both the private and the public sectors, may apply fees extracted from nonunion workers as a condition of their employment. ”

I have known Dr. Edwin Vieira since 1993. In the hundreds and hundreds of hours of conversations over the years, I am always blown away when he explains something to me the average person would not have thought of relating to the subject at hand. His mind is a machine and there’s no doubt in my mind Edwin would come up with a battle plan to take on this issue and win.

There’s also still the major issue of whether or not Cruz is even a naturalized citizen:

Ted Cruz is in the US Senate Illegally?

“Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that the parent or parents of Ted Cruz ever filed a CRBA form (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) with the U.S. Government in or around 1970, which is why Ted Cruz released a copy of his Canadian citizenship records and not any U.S. citizenship records. At present, all FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests filed in search of any U.S. citizenship documents to confirm the true official U.S. citizenship status of Ted Cruz have been denied access. All citizenship records for Ted Cruz are sealed unless and until Ted Cruz agrees to allow any such records to be released by either U.S. or Canadian agencies.

“As a result, there remains no authentic evidence to support the claims that Ted Cruz is either a “natural born” or “naturalized” citizen of the United States.” I think Donald Trump should ask Cruz to produce a certified copy of the CRBA form, don’t you? If Cruz has nothing to hide, he’d do it in a NY minute.

During one of the phony little voter meet up segments on Megyn Kelly’s FOX show one of the voters said no one cares about the eligibility issue. Well, that low information voter is dead wrong. It matters to millions of Americans and for Cruz and Rubio to continue in the primaries is fraud. The RNC submitting paperwork to put his name on any ballot is fraud. It sickens me to watch this play out again as it did in 2008 & 2012 with Barry Obama. We are either a nation of laws or lies. We can’t be both and be a great nation.

As for Ted Cruz and the slick trick pulled against candidate Dr. Ben Carson last week just as the Iowa Caucuses were about to get underway, it screams how dishonest he is and how dirty he will play to win. Ted Cruz Requests Private Meeting With Ben Carson – I’ll just bet he does. Ted Cruz’s treatment of Carson might cost him votes in NH and other states. I’ve written before I don’t like or trust Ted Cruz. His personal ambition oozes out of him and to me that makes him dangerous.

• Cruz wrong in debate about CNN’s reporting – Network never reported Carson suspending campaign, never issued correction
• Timeline: The Cruz-Carson-CNN Controversy
• Karl Rove Explains How Cruz Camp’s Cheating Stole Iowa from Trump – Rather amazing
• Ted Cruz Picks Rep. Steve King as a Campaign National Co-Chair. Is he doing it on the taxpayer’s dime? Congress is still in session.

The recent Iowa primary has been dissected every which way. The dangerous Marxist propagandist, Bernie Sanders, believes vote fraud gave Hillary the Hun a win by 4 votes.

The Iowa Caucuses are, well, unusual. Instead of voting, a voter goes to a location, individuals exchange dialogue over which candidate gets their vote and then a vote is taken. In this video you see children walking around at 9:45 PM and you’ll see just what a mess that system can be as far as accurately counting votes. Hey, no need for a recount!

Of course, using any type of electronic voting system is the sure fire tool of tyrants to rig our elections: Microsoft app used to tally votes at Iowa caucus fails in some areas. It’s been going on since the 1960s and still Americans tolerate the fraud every two years both at the state and federal level for offices. I’ve been writing about it since 1993. Vote fraud is what kept me from winning the GOP primary in 1996. First of all, even though I was legally on the ballot, my name was not on the ballot in the largest voting precinct in Butte County. That’s right. Come primary night and time to vote and my name was not on the ballot. I had to write in my own name; who knows if it even got counted.

Second, from one of my recent columns:

“Every GOP incumbent I can see is creaming legitimate challengers. Same thing that happened to me in 1996 even though I was only 7% behind the incumbent right up to “election” night with all it’s fraud in my race. At one minute after the polls closed, Peter Jennings (deceased) called all 52 house seats in California; none of the numbers changed when they quit counting votes at 4:13 am – including my race. What a remarkable feat.

“Incumbents in most districts are so far ahead – by 40% to a challenger, it’s not likely it will turn around. Gee, isn’t it strange the old 81% to 18% for an incumbent popped up? I voted for Shannon Thomason to replace the state rep shoved down our throats because of redistricting; he’s a real dog, Rep. Darby. I know Shannon from local community meetings. He’s allegedly losing 81 to 18.

“From my Blind Loyalty booklet of nothing but vote fraud, check these winners/losers that night (primary March 26, 1996): 85-15, 81-18, 85-15, 81-18, 85-15, 86-14, 87-13, 81-18 and 81-14 which was my race. Those were the results for incumbents vs challengers for the U.S. House throughout the state. Every incumbent voted for NAFTA; all challengers including me were opposed. Wonder why we allegedly lost? Those house seats were scattered all over the state of California. Unless you’re specifically looking at a particular race, in a state the size of California or Texas, people don’t put together the pattern, but it sure as hell is there and I’m looking at it tonight.”

In one of the precincts in my race the ballots were spread all over a table in violation of state elections laws. Neither that nor the fact my name was not on the ballot on primary night bothered the Republican Secretary of State who did nothing. In his letter to me: If you don’t like the outcome of the election, file a lawsuit. And, pray tell where would I get $20-$30 grand to sue the state? March 1996. That’s when I left the Republican Party and remain no party to this day.

Here is another example of the numbers from my Blind Loyalty booklet; comments at bottom explain the farce. As I have also written before, Bush did not win the 2004 election because of vote fraud in Ohio and therefore did not win the general election. That is a proven fact.

If anyone thinks there wasn’t vote fraud against Donald Trump during the Iowa Caucuses, they would be mistaken. Microsoft provided the app for both parties. ‘Something smells:’ Des Moines Register calls for audit of Iowa Dem caucus

Here’s one opinion on that:

“I remember how six years ago a tea party star and a great patriot of this nation, Sharon Angle, ran for senate in Nevada against the ruling establishment uber-puppet, Harry Reid. I volunteered at her office in Las Vegas. Till the election day Sharon led by 4-5% according to all the polls. I remember one of her campaign managers told me: we have to lead by over 10% as they can rig about 10% of the vote. I knew it was possible but didn’t want to believe it.

Advertising

“Well, in the morning the vote count was 4-5% for Sharon, in the evening it was announced that the vote flipped, 5% for the regime puppet, Harry Reid. I urged Sharon to verify the vote, unfortunately, she never did it.

“It is interesting that until Bush-Gore 2000 the media conducted exit polling. After 2000 the exit polling stopped. What people do not understand, is that we have no vote verification. We have two types of ballot counting scanners, Diebold and Sequoia, which can be programmed to rig the count any way you want.

“Going into Iowa primary Trump led by an average of 6% according to multiple polls. Both Real Clear Politics and Huffington Post posted about the same average, Trump had 31%, Cruz 25% and Rubio 14%. As the results were announced, Cruz had 28%, Trump 24% and Rubio 23%. The swing that we saw is just impossible. There is no way Rubio jumped 9% within hours. Rubio did poorly in the evangelical state of Iowa for the whole year. His sudden rise by 9% in one day smells heavy rigging of the vote to me.

“Additional indication of the heavy rigging, is the fact that there was a very heavy attendance. 180,000 showed up to vote. Previous record was about 130,000. Most analysts believed that a heavy turnout will benefit Trump as he had the biggest crowds of supporters, new voters. Every analyst believed that the heavy vote will mean Trump election by a landslide. There is no way the vote went up by 50% to benefit establishment puppets, particularly Rubio who was heavily disliked in Iowa.”

It’s called vote flipping. Also from my Blind Loyalty booklet: “In the Rogan Race 10:36 pm, Rogan was ahead of the Democrat 53% to 44%. At 6:28 am on November 8th, the Democrat allegedly moved ahead 53% to 44%. Congressman Rogan, one of the 13 House Managers in the phony Clinton impeachment, allegedly lost his race: 44% to Schiff’s 53%. I don’t believe it for a moment. The numbers are too obvious, at least to me: Rogan leads with 53% to 44% and loses by 44% to 53%. Flip flop! ”

Stop The Election: Accurate Vote Count Impossible, November 3,2008

“Two weeks ago, Ohio “relaxed” its voter registration requirements to allow individuals to simply sign up and vote on the spot. For weeks, advocacy groups have been “assisting” non-English speaking minorities on how to vote. Most likely a large number of them are illegal aliens because we know illegals are voting in huge numbers thanks to the insidious Motor Voter Law of 1993.

“Citizenship is a five year process. If you can’t speak English by then, how committed are you to your new country and how our government operates? I guess it doesn’t matter if you have someone instructing you on which box to punch on a card inside the voting booth. BEFORE my grandparents got on the boat from Sicily, they had to take an English proficiency test (reading and writing) and have a valid health certificate. The same applied to my other grand parents when they left Munich. We know what’s going on here and it’s hijacking our elections.

“Even with paper ballots in many states, between dirty voting rolls that are supposed to be purged and cleaned, and multiple voting by one person thanks to registration fraud, there’s no way to get an accurate count on election night. The switch to scanners over electronic voting machines is simply switching the deck chairs on the Titanic. 31 states – with big ‘swing’ states included – still use electronic machines and/or scanners. Ripe for fraud. In smaller states with small precincts, it’s harder to hide the vote fraud. In major metropolitan cities, it’s as easy as walking across your living room.

“By Oct. 30, 2008, more than 17 million people voted; no telling how many are multiple votes. Last week, the city fathers in DC announced they have no idea how many absentee ballots were mailed out! In Madison County, Mississippi, they have over 123% more registered voters than people over the age of 18. Is anyone outraged yet? This has been going on for election after election after election for decades. Contrary to the propaganda being pitched, most of these machines do NOT have a real paper trail. See Oct. 31, 2008, transcript from Lou Dobbs – close to half way down. The lawsuits are coming. The insidious Motor Voter Law of 1993 added gasoline to the bonfire and Secretary’s of State across the Union have allowed the situation to simply snow ball from one rip off election to the next. ”

Urgent: Election fraud volunteers needed in WI, OH, PA, VA, FL, November 10, 2012: Obama Lost in Every State With Photo ID Law

“November 7 | Was the election stolen? Remember all those lawsuits by Democrats demanding that any voter identification laws be repealed. Well, now we know why they filed them. They needed to steal the vote in certain key states so that Obama could be reelected.

“Curiously, Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting. A list of closely contested state elections with no voter ID, which narrowly went to Obama include: Minnesota (10), Iowa (6), Wisconsin (10), Nevada (6), Colorado (9), New Mexico (5) and Pennsylvania (20). This amounts to a total of 66 electoral votes. When added to Romney’s total of 205 electoral votes, that would give Romney 271 electoral votes, enough votes to win even without Ohio or Florida.

“Romney also likely had the states of Florida and Ohio stolen from him, which don’t require photo IDs. Ohio requires a non-photo ID. Would a library card do? Florida “requests” a photo ID, but doesn’t require it. So what happens if they request a photo ID and the illegal alien Haitian doesn’t have one? Do they just count the vote anyway?”

While New Hampshire uses paper ballots, there was an outcry in 2012 because of tally discrepancies for Ron Paul when he ran: Significant Evidence of Algorithmic Vote Flipping in the 2012 GOP Primary and (Ron Paul 100% proof of Maine Election fraud! Ben Swann Reality Check WXIX FOX 2/15/12). The upcoming primaries in SC, NV and then Super Tuesday will be done by machines. The shadow government will do everything they think they can get away with to keep Donald Trump from accumulating enough delegates to win the GOP nomination and that means losing primaries and caucuses by fraud in the counting process.

The primaries in this country have become a farce. Eligibility of candidates is brushed off like lint as if it’s of no importance. Fraud was committed by the DNC and Nancy Pelosi to get Barry Obama on the ballot and now the GOP is doing the same damn thing by allowing Cruz and Rubio to appear on any state ballot. Regardless of who you support, if we don’t have honesty and integrity in our election process we may as well change America to Venezuela.

The debate over whether or not Senator Ted Cruz is eligible for the U.S. Presidency is about to end. It has now been confirmed that Senator Ted Cruz is neither a “U.S. natural born Citizen” or a “legal U.S. citizen.”

According to all relative legal citizenship documentation available at present, Senator Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz, a legal citizen of Canada on December 22, 1970 and maintained his legal Canadian citizenship from birth until May 14, 2014, 43 years later.

The Cruz Campaign for the U.S. Presidency has claimed that Senator Ted Cruz was a “citizen at birth” via his U.S. mother and a “dual citizen” of both Canada and the United States in 1970 and that by renouncing his Canadian citizenship in 2014, he would become eligible for the Oval Office.

There are several problems with this claim… which make the claim false

1. “citizen at birth” is a 14th Amendment naturalization term based upon “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

Senator Cruz was born in Canada, subject to the jurisdiction of Canada. Further, any U.S. citizen by virtue of the 14th Amendment only, is a “citizen” and not a “natural born Citizen,” as you will see below. (Source is Cornell Law on the 14th)

2. “dual citizenship” was prohibited in Canada in December 1970. (Source is Canadian Law)

From May 22, 1868 until December 31, 1946, all residents of Canada were British subjects. There was no such thing as a Canadian citizen or Canadian citizenship until January 1, 1947.

From January 1, 1947 until February 15, 1977, Canadian law prohibited “dual citizenship.” Foreign parents giving birth to a child in Canada in 1970 were forced to choose between Canadian citizenship only, or citizenship in another country, and to declare that with Canadian officials at the time of birth. The parents of Ted Cruz chose and declared “Canadian citizenship” for Rafael Edward Cruz.

3. United States laws make it possible to be a legal U.S. citizen by only the following means…

a) NATURAL BORN CITIZEN – “As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.” (The Natural Law as understood by the Founders in Article II of the US Constitution)
b) NATIVE BORN CITIZEN – All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. (The 14th Amendment definition for “citizen”)

c) NATURALIZED CITIZEN – the legal act or process by which a non-citizen in a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country. It may be done by a statute, without any effort on the part of the individual (aka anchor baby), or it may involve an application and approval by legal authorities, (such as a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) form filed with the US State Department at the time of birth). (This includes “anchor baby” or “citizen at birth” born here or abroad, under the 14th) Source is U.S. State Department

4. “dual citizens” are prohibited from being “natural born Citizens” as it pertains to Article II requirements for the Oval Office.

As the stated purpose of the Article II “natural born Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office is to prevent anyone with foreign allegiance at birth from ever occupying the Oval Office, and all “dual citizens” at birth are born with “dual national allegiance” at birth. The mere condition of “dual citizen at birth” would be a direct violation of the known purpose and intent of the natural born Citizen requirement in Article II. Source is a letter from Founder John Jay in proposing the NBC requirement for the Oval Office.

Now, Senator Ted Cruz has repeatedly stated that he has never “naturalized” to the United States, which eliminated the possibility that Ted Cruz is a “naturalized” U.S. Citizen.

Senator Ted Cruz has also documented the fact that he was not a “native born citizen” of the United States, but rather a “native born citizen” of Canada on December 22, 1970, who maintained his legal Canadian citizenship until May 14, 2014.

The Harvard opinion letter written by two of Senator Cruz’s Harvard friends, Neal Katyal & Paul Clement, a mere “commentary” on the subject, relies upon the 14th Amendment naturalized citizen at birth concept, despite the fact that Ted Cruz was not “born in or under the jurisdiction of the United States,” was never “naturalized” to the United States, and completely ignoring the fact that Canada prohibited “dual citizenship” in 1970, as well as the fact that “dual citizenship” alone would prevent him from “natural born U.S.” status.

All of this explains why Senator Ted Cruz has no legal U.S. citizenship documentation of any kind. He is not a “natural born” – “native born” or “naturalized” citizen of the United States. Because someone must be one of the three in order to be a legal citizen of the United States, Senator Ted Cruz cannot possibly be a “legal U.S. citizen” of any form.

Only days ago, a 17-year-old first time voter at a New Hampshire town hall meeting for Senator Ted Cruz asked a very reasonable question… “How and why, until recently, were you unaware that you were a Canadian citizen?”

As the young man explained, this is not an eligibility question, but a credibility question… which Senator Cruz refused to answer, preferring instead to regurgitate the talking points carefully crafted by his Harvard friends and eventually, shouting the young man down, after a Cruz fan in the audience shouted “better a Canadian than a Kenyan!” (VIDEO) Meanwhile, a growing number of Constitutional Law Professors agree, “Cruz is NOT eligible.”

Of course, Senator Marco Rubio is also “ineligible,” as a “native born citizen at birth” by virtue of 14th Amendment “anchor baby” policies only.

In the end, the only possible way to consider Senator Ted Cruz eligible for the Oval Office is if every “undocumented resident alien” is eligible for the Oval Office, which I personally believe is the real agenda of both political parties, as they work to meld the USA into the global commune where there is no legal difference between “natural born Americans” and “undocumented aliens.”

The fact that so many Americans do not know or care to know the truth about the Constitutional “natural born Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office, demonstrates just how far down the road of “hope and change” for the destruction of the Constitutional Republic, the enemy within has already achieved.

Soon, “natural born Americans” will be in the American minority… and they will be ruled by foreigners who have no legal U.S. citizenship at all.

It won’t be easy but here’s why it will happen.

Life is a war between good and evil. The hero risks his life to make good prevail over evil. Joseph Campbell wrote about this in his “The power of Myth.”

Campbell said our popular myths derive from the meaningful stories of old. They survived hundreds of generations.

Campbell’s “Power of Myth” became the foundation of George Lucas’s Star Wars movies. That’s why we like Star Wars movies. Our hero, Luke Skywalker, led the war against the forces of evil.

Donald Trump is in a war for the presidency. Coincidently, Trump’s war occurs during the new Star Wars movie. Trump is the hero who leads America’s war against the dark forces of evil.

He will win some battles. He will lose some battles. In the end, like Luke Skywalker, Donald Trump will prevail. This end of the story is written in our genes and our culture.

Campbell wrote,

“The adventure matches the readiness of the hero. Follow your bliss and doors will open for you where they would open for no one else.”

The anti-Trump forces are split between Cruz and Rubio. The two-forked dark plan is to use Cruz to steal votes of the unwary from Trump while Rubio leads the forces of evil.

Behind the curtain of evil are the sinister men who control Cruz and Rubio and even Hillary. If their puppet wins, they will control America.

We already know two truths. Cruz cannot beat Rubio. Rubio can’t beat Hillary or Bernie. Therefore, Donald Trump is the only Republican candidate who can win the presidency.

Some will deny these truths because they support another candidate. Yet, the data clearly show these truths will prevail.

The Climate Scam

The puppeteers behind both Cruz and Rubio benefit from the climate scam. Therefore, no matter how strong Cruz may seem against the climate scam, he will not be able to stop the detrimental effects of the climate scam on America. Nor can Rubio.

Donald Trump is the only candidate we can trust to stop the climate scam, the EPA, and all the economic damages the climate scam does to our economy.

What happened in Iowa?

Des Moines Register/Bloomberg poll right before the caucus scored Trump 28, Cruz 23, Rubio 15, and Carson 10. The caucus produced the following differences from the polls:

• Trump went from 28 to 24.
• Cruz went from 23 to 28.
• Rubio went from 15 to 23.
• Carson went from 10 to 9.

These changes, especially the rise of Rubio from 15 to 23, are statistically out of range. Today’s polls typically have an error range of about plus or minus 3 percent. They are very good because today’s pollsters use good ground data and good mathematics to make their predictions.

Nate Silver, of FiveThirtyEight, predicted Trump would win Iowa and the next five elections. Nate’s predictions are never wrong unless something happened to mess up the elections.

Well, here are some problems with the Iowa caucus.

A minor point shows a GOP bias. There were a total of 186,874 GOP caucus votes. Cruz got 51,666, Trump 45,427, and Rubio 43,165 votes. Iowa has 27 delegates to distribute. The GOP rules read, “The proportional allocation shall be rounded to the nearest whole delegate.” Delegate means integer.

A simple calculation using the above data shows Cruz scored 7.46, Trump scored 6.56, and Rubio scored 6.24. These numbers round to Cruz 7, Trump 7, and Rubio 6 delegates each. But the GOP gave Cruz 8 delegates.

The truth is Trump tied with Cruz for 7 delegates each. Have you heard this from the news media? Or Rush or Hannity? Or Newsmax? NO. Even the so-called conservative news media tells us lies.

Some 250,000 people stood in line in the snow to attend Trump’s Iowa rallies. Do you really believe only 45,427 Trump supporters attended the caucus?

Rubio’s rise from 15 to 23 percent can’t happen. Iowa has twice the ratio of conservative to moderate voters as the other states. A moderate like Rubio can’t come close to Cruz in Iowa.

Rubio’s Iowa campaign was virtually nonexistent. His events had at most 10% of the attendees of Trump’s events. Do you really believe Rubio scored close to Trump and Cruz?

One caucus observer noticed the reported votes for Cruz maintained exactly 3000 votes ahead of Trump until near the end of the count. Every time Trump got a vote, Cruz got a vote.

An Iowa voter reported the GOP caucus turned away about 100,000 voters because they “ran out of ballots.”

Another Iowa voter reported the GOP caucus was unlike any before. Before, they went into rooms for their candidate. This year, whole crowds of 4000 went to any table they wanted and they could easily vote more than once.

Cruz was the only candidate who was against subsidies to make ethanol from corn. Yet caucus data show Cruz won Kossuth and Sioux counties. These are the first and fourth biggest corn-producing counties in Iowa. Do you really believe Cruz won these counties?

Who counted the votes?

“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.” – Joseph Stalin

The GOP contracted with Microsoft to count Iowa votes with new Microsoft software. Microsoft is the second largest direct donor to Rubio.

Rubio is a lead sponsor of a bill called I-Squared, which triples the number of H-1B visas. Big technology firms like Microsoft and Oracle support I-Squared. In 2013, they backed Rubio’s “Gang of 8” immigration bill.

Oracle’s Larry Ellison hosted a fundraiser for Rubio’s campaign. Ellison also gave $3 million to the pro-Rubio super PAC.

Why did the GOP allow Rubio donor Microsoft count the votes?

I am a software professional. One year, I won the “People’s Choice Award” in a Microsoft and Computerworld “Windows World Open Custom Application Contest.”

There are general rules when you implement new software. One rule is to always keep your original method for doing calculations until you can test and certify new software.

Yet, the GOP discarded its old vote-counting methods when it let Microsoft count the votes. It’s a perfect crime. Neither the GOP nor Microsoft has a paper trail to recount votes.

Microsoft even miscalculated the 8 delegates for Cruz when it Cruz really got 7. (Software, by the way, has different methods to round numbers to an integer. Microsoft did not use its own software properly.)

Why Rubio can’t win the presidency

Obama still has a 47 to 50 percent approval rating. That’s the famous “47 percent” Romney referenced in 2012. This means the only way a Republican candidate can win the presidency with today’s voter demographics is to attract Democrat voters.

Rubio’s “manufactured” third place finish in Iowa means he is now the consensus establishment candidate. However, Rubio does not attract Independent and Democrat voters. Rubio would be another Romney.

To further guarantee they win, the Democrats will file eligibility lawsuits against Cruz or Rubio, if the GOP nominates either of them. This political tactic will assure the Democrats win the presidency whether or not the Supreme Court decides later that they are eligible.

Why Cruz can’t win the nomination

Cruz is not the innocent, ethical, conservative evangelical candidate his supporters believe he is. My tweet about Cruz went viral:

“Cruz is worst insider. Owned by CFR. Ineligible. Lies. Cheats. Dominionist. Globalist. No ethics. Big $ Puppet.”

Cruz told thousands of caucus voters that Trump strongly supported ObamaCare.

Cruz mailed a false “Voter Violation” certificate to thousands of voters, a misdemeanor at minimum.

Cruz sent a false announcement that claimed Ben Carson had abandoned the race and told Carson voters to vote for Cruz.

In the debate without Trump, Cruz crashed. Here are some viewer comments on Cruz:

• When Cruz got booed, he said “I might have to leave the stage!” He barely got any laughter. Very awkward.
• Cruz started whining and was called out on his lies and flipflops.
• Cruz got his tail caught in Megyn Kelly’s cage on amnesty.
• Cruz appeared stiff & rehearsed. He was typical “Cruz”. No authenticity.
• Cruz is unlikable. Period. Not funny.
• According to CNN Trump won.
• Shapiro gave Cruz a “C” on the debate and he loves Cruz.

Cruz never “settled” his eligibility question after Trump challenged him. Yet, Iowa voters did not penalize Cruz on his questionable eligibility.

New Hampshire

A recent University of Massachusetts poll for New Hampshire has Trump at 36, Rubio 15, Cruz 14, Bush 8, Kasich 7, Christie 5, Carson 4, Fiorina 4, Undecided 7. We can use these data to draw some conclusions.

After Rubio’s fraudulent rise in Iowa, he will attract the votes for Bush, Kasich, Christie, and Fiorina. Using the New Hampshire data, Rubio would add 24 votes to his present 15 to give him 39 percent.

But Trump has a few cards up his sleeve as well. Carson voters may move to Trump. This would give him 40 percent. It’s going to be close.

About half the Cruz votes will eventually move to Trump. The other half will support Cruz to the end. They are the former Ron Paul supporters who would not support Romney after the nomination.

They booed Trump when he mentioned Cruz might not be eligible. They think they are pristine constitutionalists but they ignore the Constitution when it conflicts with their desires. Those who stick with Cruz really support Hillary or Bernie.

Trump

Trump is the only Republican candidate who can beat Hillary or Bernie because only Trump draws votes from Independents and Democrats.

Here are some comments by callers to C-Span after its showing of Trump’s fund raiser:

• I’m a Democrat and I am voting for Donald Trump. I have many Democrat friends who will also vote for Trump.
• Trump is authentic. He is not political. He does not have to do this. He is doing this for America.
• I’m a Democrat. I have never voted before but I am changing parties so I can vote for Donald Trump.
• This is the first time I have been excited about an election. I am voting for Donald Trump.
• I’m a Democrat. I voted for Obama and I now realize that was a big mistake. I am voting for Donald Trump.
• Every American must get out and vote for Donald Trump. Only Trump will make America great again.
• I have never voted before but I will vote for Trump.
• Trump is the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for America. We will never have a chance like this again.

Some people criticize Trump for not spending more money at his campaign. He spent about one-tenth what Cruz spent in Iowa. That’s the kind of president we want. Trump knows how to get the most bang for the buck.

Some people criticize Trump because he used Chapter 11 for 4 of his over 500 companies. The other candidates have not started one company. Candidates with no real business experience should not be put in control of America.

I don’t trust a man who has never failed. We learn our best lessons from our failures.

Would you hire a pilot with 100 hours or with 20,000 hours? Unless you have a death wish you will choose the pilot with 20,000 hours.

Cruz and Rubio are like pilots with 100 hours. Trump is like a pilot with 20,000 hours. Trump can make America great again. Cruz or Rubio or Hillary or Bernie cannot.

Joseph Campbell has words of advice for Donald Trump and all those who wish to win life’s battles:

• Follow your bliss. The real end is the journey.
• We are all agents in the structuring of other peoples’ lives.
• Eternity is now. Time is our experience.
• “Use the force, Luke!”
• Later, we will ask: “Who composed this plot?”

It has happened again. Another murder of an unarmed citizen took place last Tuesday by entities posing as a government, otherwise known as the FBI and the Oregon State Police. What is happening in the collapse of America is that the civil government is not only wasteful beyond imagination; it violates the Constitution which it swears to uphold at every turn. It has become highly incompetent in nearly everything it does. In fact I would argue that it only seems to do two things effectively, murder babies and kill unarmed citizens. So by the standard of Romans 13, it has switched from being a minister of God and has instead become a minister of Satan.

LaVoy Finicum was the spokesman for the citizens who were protesting the unjust imprisonment of the ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond in Southwest Oregon over false charges made against them in a design evinced over many years to drive these ranchers off their land. Now you might disagree over tactics but not over the issues as the Federal Government holds an illegal claim to own one in every three acres in America. Read the Constitution and you’ll see they have no permission from We the People to own that land. If you want to see the issue clearly just do a web search on “Federal Land Grab” along with my name and watch the presentation.

Lavoy was a patriot, a father of 11, with no criminal record at all, yet gunned down in cold blood, unarmed, with his hands in the air, before six witnesses, who are still alive at this point in time. It is a chilling reminder of Ruby Ridge, Idaho and of Waco, Texas where our “government” by some made up excuse murdered and burned alive men, women and children, shooting to death anyone who fled the flames. There is evidence aplenty that they have become a minister of Satan as defined by Romans 13.

The underlying issue of what has taken place in Oregon in the area of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge and the Hammond ranch is essentially an issue of who owns the land. There is a direct link therefore to the law of God. Turn to Exodus 22. You might think the topic of the Financial Ministry to the Poor wouldn’t have anything to do with land ownership, but this morning I’d like to show you that it does.

The Financial Ministry to the Poor – Exodus 22:25 “If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.” So God forbid the charging of interest in what may be called Charity loans. In the common application of the Israelites of that day, it would often mean an advance loan for work that had not yet been done would be made. So a farmer contracts with harvesters to bring in his crops. The laborer is in need of funds for basic necessities before the work takes place, so the farmer loans him the money in advance of the harvest, but he is prohibited by God from charging interest with this charitable loan. This prohibition was important enough to deserve repetition.

Charity loans are not to include interest payments – Deuteronomy 23:19-20 “Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.” Notice the blessing God promises to those who obey His Law. A blessing in every thing you set your hand to do. Notice also that these charity loans are to be made only to …

“My people” and “your brother” indicating that this law applies only to fellow believers of the One True God. You could choose charge interest to those who were not believers. It reminds me of what God inspired the Apostle Paul to write to the Galatians in 6:10 “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” God set structures in law to prevent enslavement of the people.

The gleaning laws – Leviticus 19:9-10 “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God.”

The latest example of America’s places of higher learning serving as little more than an indoctrination tool for the Far Left’s visions of nirvana comes by way of Iowa State University and its planned “Social Justice Summit” set for mid-February.
Enough of the social justice already. It’s not that the idea of “justice for all” is a flawed concept. It is, after all, part of our national flag pledge – “with liberty and justice for all.” But where these training sessions go awry is turning “justice for all” into “justice for the few” or “justice for the select.”
Or worse, as Iowa’s day-and-a-half long summit does, turning the definition of justice into something it’s not.
The university defines social justice on its website as “the continuous process of eliminating ignorance and prejudice … to bring about greater equity among all members of sociiety” via – and this is the key part – the “redistribution of resourcess, opportunities, and responsibilities.”
Whenever redistribution is talked about, the next question that creeps is this: By whose authority?
And far, far too often those discussing this notion aren’t doing so in a church or nonprofit setting, where charity or Christian-based values dictate the voluntary terms of the redistribution. Rather, they’re talking about it as a government venture – indeed, as a government mandate. That’s hardly constitutional. The redistribution of “resources, opportunities, and responsibilities” by government is a socialist principle.
This is what our next generation of leaders is learning.
The topics of social justice discussion range from minority rights, equality issues between genders and among races, and LGBT causes, to ones dealing with poverty, housing, education and jobs, mostly as seen through the lens of race, gender and sexual preferences. The problem with this type of analysis, however, is it discounts the notion of God-given talents – the idea that all individuals aree embedded with seeds of greatness from a higher power, albeit not all are given the same abilities – while it plays up the victim card. It teaches the idea,, say, that a homeless man is homeless because he was raised by alcoholic parents, or because he was the product of poverty, or because he suffered unfairly and turned to drugs as solace – but not because he made poor choices in life thatt led to his deplorable condition.
So when he’s a victim, and not accountable for his own choices, his problems become all of society’s – and if that line of logic is drawn to its concllusion outside of a church or charitable setting, the inevitable result is more government action, more bureaucratic overreach, more taxpayer burdens.
It’s one thing to look for root causes for human misery. It’s quite another to make the leap that all human misery can be cured by government provisions.
But that’s social justice training. And it’s not just in Iowa – or for just aa day or two. The seven-day Social Justice Week kicks off at Georgetown University on February 20. It just wrapped at the University of Miami. It’s due to begin in March at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.

Those are just the voluntary offerings – the little side events presented on campus ass “something students can do” to pass the time. As Inside Higher Ed reported, plenty of other schools have been pushing social justice as a core curriculum, and for plenty of years.

In 2012, the outlet reported: “Whitman College in Washington and Philander Smith College in Arkansas both have new programs on social justice. Brandeis University offers a minor in social justice and social policy. Grinnell College offers an award to young social justice leaders. Lake Forest College in Illinois also offers a minor. Saint Mary’s College of California just announced a new master’s degree concentration in social justice leadership. And the movement isn’t limited to private institutions: Arizona State University introduced a master’s degree in social justice and human rights last fall.”
Get ready for the lawsuits. It won’t be long before these highly trained, highly educated and highly charged graduates learn the best way to bring about their visions of equality and justice isn’t the poster, protest and banner, but rather the courts, state houses and Congress.

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly signed a book deal with HarperCollins, the publisher has announced now that the Fox News anchor has attained national notoriety thanks to her ongoing feud with GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“Megyn Kelly is among the most interesting and influential people in America today and we are thrilled to be publishing her first book,” said Lisa Sharkey, a vice president at HarperCollins, said in a statement. “This book is coming out at the perfect time and is bound to be one of the most read and talked about books of the fall.”

HarperCollins Publishers, a subsidiary of News Corp — which also owns Fox News, the Wall Street Journal and the conservative-magazine The Weekly Standard — announced it has acquired world rights to a book from Kelly. It will be published by the Harper imprint this fall, just before the November 2016 presidential election. The book was acquired by Lisa Sharkey will be edited by Matt Harper, executive editor.

Megyn Kelly currently serves as anchor of FOX News Channel’s The Kelly File. Throughout her tenure with FNC, Kelly has covered breaking news and reported on location.

Before joining FNC, Kelly served as a general assignment reported for WJLA-TV (ABC 7) in Washington, D.C., where she covered national and local stories of interest. Prior to her career in television news, Kelly practiced law for nine years, seven years as a corporate litigator at Jones Day and was an associate for two years in the Chicago office of the law firm Bickel & Brewer LLP.

Kelly has gained a national spotlight due to her questionable debate performance when she arguably attacked Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, which started when she accused him of frequently making negative comments about women during his appearance at the first Republican presidential debate last year.

Trump has since called Ms. Kelly a “lightweight” journalist and raised eyebrows after the debate by saying Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever,” according to The Hill.

Trump boycotted the last Fox News debate after publicly questioning Kelly’s ability to be unbiased and fair. Still, he insisted his boycott had more to do about Fox’s treatment of him than about Kelly’s role as debate moderator.

MSNBC’s only Republican host, former Congressman Joe Scarborough, appears to agree with Trump’s boycott. Scarborough said that he would rather “set himself on fire” than have Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly’s biased questioning.

Scarborough slammed Kelly, accusing her of being a biased journalist the morning after Donald Trump announced he’d skip last Thursday’s GOP presidential debate out of protest to Kelly’s inclusion as a moderator.

During his “Morning Joe” program, Scarborough played a series of news clips showing Kelly criticizing Trump’s decision to skip the debate hosted by Fox.

“That is just good, unbiased journalism. And if I were a candidate, I certainly would want that person asking me questions in a fair and balanced way,” Scarborough said with obvious sarcasm. “As I’ve said before, I would rather set myself on fire in front of the Fox News studio than go on the debate stage with that.”

Kelly did herself no service when she invited pseudo-filmmaker Michael Moore, an icon of the far-left, to be a guest on her show. During his segment, Moore then proceeded to lambaste Trump and feigned comforting Kelly, who has enjoyed popularity among conservatives and moderates.

“Kelly may be hurting herself in the long run by lurching to the left on a news network that became successful thanks to conservatives and Republicans,” said political strategist Michael Baker. “I guess the $10-million smackers she’s getting for her book is worth losing viewers and their trust,” he added.

The New York Times endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, calling her “one of the most broadly and deeply qualified presidential candidates in modern history.” There was one big problem with the editorial. Her policy toward Russia laid the groundwork for the Russian aggression that the Pentagon now has to spend billions of dollars to prepare for. The paper somehow forgot to mention that.

The Obama/Clinton Russian “reset” policy in 2009 set the stage for Russian wars of aggression and military intervention in Ukraine and Syria, and Vladimir Putin’s decision to give sanctuary to NSA defector Edward Snowden. Snowden’s stolen documents have assisted the rise of ISIS.

The liberal paper is entitled to endorse anybody it pleases. But to endorse Mrs. Clinton and not explain or justify her failed policy with regard to Russia is an oversight that borders on dishonesty.

When President Obama’s own Secretary of Defense Ash Carter, just a few days later, identified Russia as one of America’s biggest threats, the Times was put in a bad spot. How could it defend endorsing the former secretary of state when the Russian threat she had ignored was now taking center stage, and going to cost the U.S. billions of dollars?

The paper’s editorial writers had to think fast. That’s right: blame Secretary Carter for asking for too much money! The Times ran an editorial suggesting in a vague way that Carter’s $582.7 billion budget request for the Pentagon was not correct, and that additional spending on the threats from Russia and ISIS needed to be recalibrated in some way. The Times wasn’t too specific, but it decided to call his request a “blank check,” and added that “it is unclear” that Carter’s plan is the right one. This was supposed to take the heat off of Mrs. Clinton for not anticipating the threat that the United States and its allies now have to face.

It’s important to set the record straight. Not only was the reset policy wrong, but even the photo opportunity where the new policy was announced was a disaster. Hillary Clinton had presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a mock reset button with the word, “peregruzka,” meaning “overcharged,” not “re-set.” She said, “We worked hard to get the right Russian word.” He replied, “You got it wrong.” The video of the embarrassing exchange includes the infamous Hillary Clinton cackle.

Ignoring all of this, the Times said, “As secretary of state, Mrs. Clinton worked tirelessly, and with important successes, for the nation’s benefit. She was the secretary President Obama needed and wanted: someone who knew leaders around the world, who brought star power as well as expertise to the table. The combination of a new president who talked about inclusiveness and a chief diplomat who had been his rival but shared his vision allowed the United States to repair relations around the world that had been completely trashed by the previous administration.”

The Russian “re-set” was one such effort to “repair relations.” It failed. It’s best, from the Times’ point of view, just to ignore this disaster.

“Russia and China are our most stressing competitors,” said Defense Secretary Carter the other day. “They have developed and are continuing to advance military systems that seek to threaten our advantages in specific areas. And in some cases, they are developing weapons and ways of wars that seek to achieve their objectives rapidly, before they hope, we can respond.”

In regard to what he called a “resurgent Russia,” Carter spoke of the need for “a strong and balanced approach to deter Russian aggression…” He said that “we haven’t had to worry about this for 25 years; while I wish it were otherwise, now we do.” He went on to talk about threats from China, North Korea, Iran and ISIS.

It’s true that, for 25 years, administrations of both political parties have misjudged Russia. The Times and other media need to demand accountability from those who thought Russia could be our “partner” in global affairs. Instead, the paper ran an editorial endorsing Mrs. Clinton for president and cited her alleged expertise. This is the mark of a paper that is determined, for political reasons, to make Mrs. Clinton into something she is not. She was not a success. She was a failure. The editorial won’t hold up under scrutiny.

The honest approach would be to analyze why Mrs. Clinton was so wrong about Russia. Interestingly, the Times may have the answer to this question in its own pages.

Could it have something to do with the contributions to the Clinton Foundation from Russian interests? The Times itself ran the story, “Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal,” on April 23, 2015. It talked about how Russian President Putin had moved “closer to his goal of controlling much of the global uranium supply chain,” based on a Russian deal to acquire a company called Uranium One—a deal that required U.S. State Department approval when Mrs. Clinton was the secretary of state.

The paper said that as the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One during the time period 2009 to 2013, millions of dollars in “donations” were flowing to the Clinton Foundation from Uranium One’s chairman and his family foundation. “Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.” The deal gave the Russian government control of 20 percent of the uranium in the United States.

We can conclude that the Russian reset was an exercise in selling our national security to Russia. It was corruption. But rather than retire from public life, which would have been the honorable thing to do, Hillary Clinton decided to run for the highest office in the land, and has the support of The New York Times. She hopes the American people will forget what she did. The Times has already done so, for political reasons.

Today, in order to counter the Russian threat, Secretary Carter is calling for “reinforcing our posture in Europe to support our NATO allies in the face of Russia’s aggression.” He calls it the European Reassurance Initiative. It cost $800 million last year, Carter said, and this year’s budget request asks for $3.4 billion. The Russian reset will be incredibly expensive. But the Clintons already have their millions.

The New York Times quibbles with the financial cost of addressing the threat while ignoring Hillary Clinton’s role in making the world a more dangerous place. The paper shares in the corruption that the Clintons have specialized in. In fact, the Times has become nothing more than a house organ of Hillary’s presidential campaign.

Responding to one of Anderson Cooper’s softball questions, socialist Bernie Sanders (I-VT) told the CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night that he lives a frugal life and indicated that he doesn’t care about money or status. “I have a small Chevrolet,” he said. “It is one of the smallest Chevys that they make.” He said it was about five years old.

But James O’Brien, a political consultant and former publisher of Campaigns & Elections magazine, says the career politician, who has been a mayor, member of Congress and U.S. senator, has achieved the financial status of a millionaire.

O’Brien has analyzed the financial status of Sanders and his wife, including their financial disclosure report, and has concluded they have a net worth in the range of $1.2 to $1.5 million, not the $700,000 or less that is usually reported by the media.

Rather than “Feel the Bern,” the phrase associated with popular support for the self-declared “democratic socialist,” O’Brien says that Sanders is personally “Feelin’ the Wealth.”

Equally significant, his wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, left her position as president of Burlington College under controversial circumstances and is now being accused of federal bank fraud. She left her position at the college and was given a severance package known as a “golden parachute” that also benefited Senator Sanders’ personal wealth.

Brady C. Toensing, a partner with the law firm of diGenova & Toensing, has filed a legal complaint with federal authorities requesting an investigation into apparent federal bank fraud committed by Ms. Sanders. His complaint was sent to Eric S. Miller, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Vermont, and Fred W. Gibson, Jr., Acting Inspector General with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

A Sanders spokesman told the Burlington Free Press that the complaint was an effort to throw mud at the presidential candidate.

O’Brien says that Sanders’ financial disclosure forms are incomplete. “For someone who doesn’t care about money, he goes a long way to cover up his true net worth,” he says. “Bernie does not disclose the value of real estate holdings. He can. He is not required to, but he could if he chose. It is known that he and/or his wife own at least two homes—one with rental income in Vermont and one near Capitol Hill where the median home value is $722,000.”

O’Brien bases his conclusions about Sanders’ millionaire status on what is known and can be estimated about his salary, the income of his wife, joint income, investments, pension, and value of his real estate properties.

On top of this, O’Brien notes that Sanders benefits from a multi-million dollar U.S. Senate staff and a multi-million dollar U.S. presidential campaign staff.

In addition to the questions about his real net worth, Jane Sanders’ exit from Burlington College continues to generate controversy, even scandal. She was president of the college from 2004 until 2011.

Federal officials have acknowledged the complaint about Jane Sanders from attorney Brady C. Toensing, but they won’t say whether they are going forward with an investigation.

Although Senator Sanders frequently complains about the “corporate media” that are supposed to have a bias against his candidacy, the necessary task of digging into the finances of his wife has been left to the conservative media and some local Vermont news organizations.

At the very least—as noted by Bruce Parker, a Vermont reporter for Watchdog.org—Senator Sanders should be asked to explain how his opposition to severance packages for corporation executives squares with his wife getting a cushy severance of $200,000.

In a story headlined, “Bernie Sanders’ Wife May Have Defrauded State Agency, Bank,” reporters Blake Neff and Peter Fricke of the conservative Daily Caller News Foundation reported the essential facts of the case, noting that she nearly bankrupted Burlington College when she took on $10 million in debt to finance the purchase of a new, far more expansive campus. “The move backfired massively, leading to Sanders’ departure from the college and the near-collapse of the institution,” Neff and Fricke report.

By any standard of fair and objective news reporting, a candidate who promises “free college” to America’s young people should be asked to address the issue of his wife’s financial shenanigans almost bankrupting an institution of higher learning. But it hasn’t been raised in the debates.

At one point it was reported that Burlington College was fighting for its very survival. “As a result of its financial woes, Burlington College is on academic probation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges,” reported VTDigger.org, a statewide news website, in 2014.

VT Digger confirmed the nefarious role played by Jane Sanders, noting that she “overstated donation amounts in a bank application for a $6.7 million loan that was used by the college to purchase a prime 33-acre property on Lake Champlain in 2010.” Jane Sanders “resigned under pressure from the Burlington College board of trustees nearly a year after obtaining the multi-million dollar loan,” the site reported. “After both sides lawyered up, the board gave Sanders the title of president emeritus and a $200,000 severance package.”

A Republican activist named Skip Vallee produced a 60-second television advertisement entitled, “Bernie’s Golden Parachute,” describing the nature of the $200,000 severance package and making the point that while Sanders was planning a presidential run “on a theme of railing against golden parachutes and excesses” on Wall Street, he took “his own golden parachute” through his wife’s curious dealings with the cash-strapped college.

The ad features the “S” in Sanders in the shape of a dollar sign and shows Sanders saying the rich in America “manipulate a rigged system” and benefit from “golden parachutes.”

On top of this scandal, The Washington Free Beacon has reported that Senator Sanders used campaign money to benefit members of his family, and that Jane Sanders directed six-figure sums from Burlington College to her daughter and the son of a family friend.

“Getting money out of politics” is one of the planks in Sanders’ presidential campaign platform.

It’s true folks. Patriot sister Sharron “Braveheart” Angle has taken on battling voter fraud; sounding the alarm that it is running rampant in America. What good is winning the hearts and minds of voters if we allow Democrats to steal elections?

Sharron suffered the devastation of election corruption when she almost defeated Harry Reid in 2010. Illegals voted for Harry Reid. There is evidence that Reid possibly stole the election from Sharron Angle using dead voters, people in prison and illegals.

Romans 8:28 says “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” I suspect Sharron’s painful loss has made her a passionate crusader; committed to cleaning up the electoral process.

Remember the Black Panther Party thugs who stood outside the polls armed with clubs? Though charged with voter intimidation, Obama’s DOJ arrogantly and without apology outrageously dropped the charges because the perpetrators were black. Can you believe that folks? Meanwhile, Obama looks down his morally superior nose at us, proclaiming himself a defender of equal justice.

South Carolina’s attorney general found evidence that at least 900 dead people voted in an election. Philadelphia flagged 50,000 duplicate registrations. Voting machines are changing peoples’ votes. A voter was caught registering six times. Meanwhile, Democrats act outraged and seek to shackle and flog Republicans in the public square for suggesting that all Americans must show a photo ID to vote; claiming it is an evil racist Republican plot to disenfranchise black voters. Fearlessly, along with fighting voter fraud, Sharron has a Voter ID initiative. www.sharronangle.com

As an American who happens to be black, I am highly insulted. In essence, Democrats are saying it is too challenging for us poor inferior simpleminded blacks to find our way to the DMV or other places to acquire a photo ID. It frustrates me that fellow black Americans remain blind to the truth that Democrats consistently talk down to them. Presented as compassion and fairness, Democrats always seek to lower expectations and standards for blacks; inferring that we are inferior. But, I digress.

Sharron Angle is leading the charge to stop voter fraud, producing “Not On My Watch”, a 90 minute documentary scheduled for nationwide release in theaters June 2016. The documentary will show undeniable evidence of voter fraud and smart ways to stop it. I’m excited folks.

Angle believes her documentary will be an integral part of a win for Constitutional Conservatism in 2016. She believes it will inspire voters to go to the polls and vote and volunteer to be eyes on the process.

True-the-Vote plans to have 1,000,000 trained citizens as poll watchers in place across America on Election Day 2016.

Sharron’s documentary is a grassroots, We the People project folks. She needs your help to git-r-done. Please go to the website and do whatever you can.

Sharron has an LLC to take big donations that will fund the completion of the documentary with returns on those investments of $20,000 or more.

2 out of 3 American voters are wisely concerned about the serious problem of voter fraud; Democrats stealing the 2016 presidential election. We simply cannot allow that to happen folks. Every America loving voter must proclaim, “Not on my watch!”

Freedom and the integrity of our electoral process are under siege, hanging in the balance. All-hands-on-deck folks. Please, please, please rally behind our brave sister Sharron Angle; leading an army of patriots on her white horse, her sword-of-faith held high in the air while yelling, “Freedom-m-m-m!!!”

This presidential election is about changing the ungodly course that our country is on; crucial to the survival of our founding father’s vision of America. We must not tolerant honest election vote counters saying, “We see dead people.” www.sharronangle.com

His Scary Federal Education “Choice” as a Civil Right, His Fake Repeal of Common Core, and His Phony Support of Homeschools Revealed.

Ted Cruz forces Common Core onto every private, religious, and homeschool in his proposed S 306 with Federal Choice (which is NO choice at all).

Explaining the Disastrous Impact of Ted Cruz’s S 306 and His Federal Choice.

• Common Core sets the stage for ALL children to be identified as “At-Risk” in public schools under Title I. This is now a given since the Every Student Succeeds Act, ESSA, was passed in December. ESSA was a bill sponsored by two establishment Republicans, Sen. Lamar Alexander and Rep. Kline. A “schoolwide” Title I banner means that Common Core now covers the entire school, and every child will receive a blanket of supports, techniques, and interventions that will force every child into compliance to meet Common Core standards.

• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 uses these Title I school-wide federal funds to identify and follow the child. S 306 expands “portable” funding to every child, which means they will take “public school choice” with them into any private or religious school. This means every child is “At-Risk or becoming At-Risk” of not meeting Common Core. This baggage then goes with the child into that private or religious school. This baggage includes psychological supports and interventions carried out by IDEA (Individual With Disabilitites Education Act), which is the Special Education behavioral conditioning for all students to meet Common Core non-academic standards.

• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 Federal so-called “Choice” funds are “portable,” meaning a Title I child takes his/her funds with them to any school. The “portable” funds “follow the child.” This means that schools will no longer be funded as they have been in the past. Rather, children are funded. This eliminates zip codes as a destination for a better local school. “Equitable” funding means schools will “spread the Common Core wealth around” and that all schools must be the same.

• The “portable” funds following the child amount to a “micro-voucher” for every child. This is used as a backpack of funds which includes a per pupil expenditure so that every child receives an equal amount of money. An algorithm is designed by the Federal IES, Institute for Educational Science, to determine regional “equity.” Federal, state, and local funds combined are deposited into an education savings account, called an ESA, used for school tuition and Common Core services at any school or even online. The State decides what is qualified as Common Core and aligns all curriculum with Common Core. The State is the overseer of this federal financial assistance accountability. Thus “choice,” in essence, is no choice, just Common Core in any school for every child.

• Sen. Ted Cruz’s S 306 appears to eliminate the church/state controversy when the funds “follow the child.” The “portable” micro-vouchers are given to parents to use in any private and religious school that accept Title I children with their allotted micro-voucher in hand. Schools do not receive money from the government, but receive the money from parents. So it deceptively looks like parental freedom of “choice.” But it is not.

• Sen. Ted Cruz redefines a homeschool as a private school, thereby forcing homeschooled children to come under the federal Title I net which mandates Common Core. A homeschool can set up a micro-voucher ESA, education savings account, and collect the same federal, state, and local funds to use to teach their child/children Common Core. Or use an ESA in any public, charter, private, religious school, or online class which must align to Common Core.

• Sen. Ted Cruz eliminates the cap on ESA’s in order to accept ALL funds that mandate services AND support interventions to meet Common Core. These services and supports are used in order to make sure that every child’s personalized career pathway conforms to Common Core. The government micro-voucher, which becomes substantial by including ALL funds, are deposited into this Lifelong Learning ESA backpack. This wide array of funds is the carrot for parents to support what they think is Choice, but no one explains to parents that there is Common Core baggage attached to the funds. This personalized plan is NOT for your child to reach his/her potential, but only to acquire Common Core standards!

• Services, supports, and interventions are defined, funded and carried out under IDEA, special education. ALL children get the same Common Core poison including the controversial psychological/behavioral treatment. You see, Common Core measures and scores non-academic government-prescribed attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions. A student must meet these pre-determined psychological outcomes. Psych interventions are defined as: positive behavior intervention and supports, multi-tiered and school-wide tiered system of supports, response to intervention, early intervening supports, and universal design for learning. These are all mandated in federal legislation, the Republican establishment’s ESSA. Mental health psychological coding is a must for reimbursement of funding treatment.

• Sen. Ted Cruz changes 529 plans to accept all children from birth up to age 21, or the entire Common Core/Mental Health/Healthcare P-20 agenda. 529 plans are converted into Lifelong Learning micro-vouchers, deposited into ESA backpacks. Cruz’s Federal “Choice” will fund Common Core/Mental Health for ALL children. including free universal Pre-K, free federal “choice” in any elementary and secondary school, and 2 free years of community or vocational college. Lifelong Learning micro-voucher backpacks will extend the entire school life of a child until age 21. This mimics the same socialized education/healthcare proposal from President Obama’s State of the Union Address!

• THE DREADFUL IMPACT OF SEN. TED CRUZ’S CHOICE: Local taxes will no longer support your neighborhood local public school when “follow the child funding” is directed to multiple schools through so-called choice. What happens to your local public school where you have duly-elected representative school board members who are accountable to citizens in your district? This whole plan collapses the traditional public school and your elected school board. When your neighborhood public school goes financially bankrupt or Common Core bankrupt, your locally collected school taxes will be regionalized or redirected for a State takeover. Charter schools, that have no elected representative boards, were expanded in the federal education Reauthorization of ESEA (the ESSA) and replace “failing” public schools. State departments of education become more powerful. This is all playing into the false “abolishment of the US Department of Education” mantra which appeals to conservatives who don’t truly understand this insidious agenda.

• It gets worse. The entire Common Core/Mental Health agenda ties into ObamaCare for all children birth to age 21. All psychological services carried out by IDEA and rendered to children can be billed to Medicaid, where schools become providers for health and mental health services. Mental health codes follow every child, thus potentially adversely impacting your child’s future jobs, college, and licensing (including gun ownership).

• Under this plan ALL schools become chartered and accredited including private, religious, and homeschools, by the state charter authorizing agency which mandates Common Core accountability. Representative government is thereby dissolved. Your taxes no longer subsidize your local education. Education becomes nationalized, i.e. federalized. Parents are locked out. There is no choice.

• This is the SCARY “civil rights” Common Core agenda that Sen. Ted Cruz supports. He stated, “every child in America, regardless of race or ethnicity, wealth or zip code has the right to a quality education,” and his federal school choice amounts to federal control. This mandates the Common Core nightmare to every child in the United States.

Ted Cruz is an establishment insider.

The GOP’s charismatic presidential candidate Donald Trump’s private plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Nashville, Tennessee, as a result of what’s being called “engine trouble,” by his campaign staff. But in light of some statements by several people — such as two well-known GOP political consultants who advocate shooting Trump in his head — a thorough investigation should be conducted, said political strategist Mike Baker.

Trump’s personal Boeing 757 — which he jokingly christened his own official Air Force One — was on its way to Little Rock, Arkansas, from New York, but his pilots had to make the emergency detour and landed at Nashville International Airport. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials released a statement claiming that Trump’s plane landed safely at 4:40 p.m. (Central Time) after the plane’s captain reported he was experiencing problems with the jet engine. The FAA investigators responding to the incident said they will investigate the incident with an “open mind.”

Trump, who is known as The Donald to his friends and supporters, completed his trip using a charter plane for him and his campaign entourage. This latest report builds on existing best practices for threat assessment investigations established by the Secret Service through its research, training, and operational experience over the last 20 years. While all presidential candidates now have Secret Service protection, including Trump, he already had a large, well-trained security force protecting him.

The Secret Service’s protection bureau details information about possible offenders’ planning behavior, motives, and other concerning behaviors they exhibited prior to the attacks. Although the strategy addresses attacks on federal targets, the report is designed to offer guidance to federal, state, and local law enforcement officials in their efforts to identify, assess, and manage a range of potential threats when they protect VIPs (Very Important Persons).

“The reports released by National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) provide front line law enforcement and public safety professionals with in depth analysis into targeted violence incidents throughout the United States,” stated Kelly Nee, Deputy Superintendent of Boston Police Department’s Regional Intelligence Center. “This information is invaluable to local law enforcement in our mission to keep our citizens safe.”

DEATH THREATS AGAINST TRUMP

While the Secret Service and Trump’s security people get reports about “crazies” and “madmen” making death threats against the GOP’s most controversial candidate, even some of the nation’s top political minions are making violence-prone statements.

For example, Pat Brady, the co-chairman of the John Kasich for President Campaign, said in an interview that the only way to beat Donald Trump is with a “head shot,” a term used to describe a single-bullet killing. Once he realized the ramifications of what he said, Brady then claimed that his head shot comment regarding Trump wasn’t referring to a literal gunshot to the head. See Youtube video.

Not to be outdone by Brady, Republican political consultant Rick Wilson appeared on MSNBC and was more direct when he said the GOP political establishment has to “put a bullet” in Trump’s head.

According to conservative firebrand and Trump supporter Ann Coulter, “FOX News is ignoring these death threats against Donald Trump. Disgusting.” And NRA firearms instructor Rick Smith noted, “Never thought it would be possible, but Fox now makes MSNBC look like a professionally run news media!”

Last year, the Director of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson appointed Craig D. Magaw to be Deputy Director of the Office of Strategic Intelligence and Information of the U.S. Secret Service, a brand new position.

“The position, which was a recommendation of the Independent Panel, We intend to embark on a wide search for the right person for the job. The COO will be equal in rank to the Deputy Director, and will serve as the principal administrator and be responsible for planning and directing all business and program activities. The position will focus on improving performance, directing coordination and liaison activities, and aligning budgetary and strategic planning efforts. As recent events have clearly shown, there is more to be done to promote operational excellence and public trust in the Secret Service. However, change does not happen overnight,” said Johnson is a statement.

Slovenian born Paul Walter Senior Editor of this news site said, “Mr. Trump is the only hope for America. I hope that all his planes, helicopters, automobiles are guarded around the clock not only with cameras but also with trusted personnel to make sure nothing is planted on them. I would also recommend when it comes to grocery shopping that the groceries come from different places all the time, never the same place twice in a row. Not to be paranoid of course, but one can not be too careful. We live in dangerous times and what’s at stake is our beloved America, the only hope for the free world.” “The only way they can beat Trump is with outright lies, dirty tricks and vote fraud. He is the only candidate who will seal our border, Rubio, Cruz and Bush are globalists.” added Walter

With the Muslim rioting expanding in Europe, Americans continue thinking it won’t happen here. Americans remain clueless that by adding hundreds of thousands of Muslims, Mexicans, Central Americans, Chinese, Indians, Africans and others from around the world—we face incredible fragmentation of our civilization.

Have you noticed dozens of languages being spoken by citizens and illegal aliens in America? Do you feel the disrespect and the separation? Do you feel violated? Are you angry that new citizens and illegal aliens disrespect us so much that they refuse to learn our language? Have you heard the growing Spanish speaking TV and radio stations across the USA? Do you feel like your country is being stolen from you along with your language? Do you feel the confusion it creates?

Immigrants invited to walk all over us!

It’s much worse. Former President Bill Clinton created Executive Order 13166, which is an un-legislated multilingual policy that requires all government agencies like the IRS, Social Security Administration, the INS, Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice, and others to print all documents in foreign languages and provide for non-English speaking people. It costs you millions of your taxpayer dollars to service foreigners who came to our country but will not honor that privilege by speaking English.

Over 329 languages are spoken in the United States making it impossible for all minority languages to be represented in such sectors as government, education and health care. Further, it creates separation and balkanization when you can’t speak to fellow Americans.

The cost of Executive Order 13166 in the healthcare sector alone stands at a staggering $267 million of your taxpayer dollars annually. In the last California governor election, over a dozen languages were represented on the voter ballot. Whose country is this anyway? Who is paying for it? YOU!

Former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm said, “A nation is much more than a place on a map. It is a state of mind, a shared vision, and a recognition that we are all in this together. A nation needs a common language as it needs a common currency. America has been successful because we have become one people. There is a social glue of a common language, a shared history, uniting symbols that tie us together. We live under a common flag, which we honor and salute.”

One scholar, Seymour Martin Lipset said, “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy. Canada, Belgium, Malaysia, Lebanon all face crises of national existence in which minorities press for autonomy, if not independence. Pakistan and Cyprus have divided. France faces difficulties with its Basques, Bretons and Corsicans.”

Lamm said, “Some people say Switzerland is an example of a successful bilingual country, but that claim does not survive close scrutiny. Switzerland has divided its geography into three separate areas, each of which has a common and dominant language—French, German and Italian.”

Immanuel Kant said, “Language and religion are the dividers.”

Why is EO 13166 a bad deal for Americans? It’s an outrageous rip-off for an American taxpayer as well as an administrative nightmare. It’s a monstrous burden to healthcare officials and a major injustice to immigrants. It will destroy national unity and our culture. From the melting pot, we are becoming a battleground of language confrontation and conflict.

Cost? Hold on to your hat: Welfare/food stamp costs at $21 million for translators. Congressional Budget Office estimates costs at $150 million annually. Health care is $180.8 million for multilingual outpatient services, $78.2 million for multilingual in-patient services, $8.6 for multilingual emergency room services. (Source: U.S. Government records, economist Edwin Rubenstein “Costs of immigration”.)

Taxpayer money funneled into Medicare is being diverted to pay for requirements to provide interpreter services. It’s killing doctor time with patients by forcing them into longer sessions with so much confusion. And, those illegal aliens are not paying for medical services. Taxpayers are!

But what about you? How do you feel about your country overrun by those who refuse to speak our language? How do you feel about your kids suffering a dozen or more foreign languages in their classrooms? It dumbs down the entire educational process for your kids. In Denver, Colorado where I live, 172 languages are spoken in our public schools. Consequently, 50 percent of the potential graduating class flunks out or drops out every year for the past five. The classroom chaos is so horrific, one in five Denver teachers quits or transfers every year. At North High School in Denver, they’re lucky if they can get half the 1,400 students to attend class each day. How do you think your kids suffer when someone that cannot speak English?

Four factors were required to make this Republic viable and the greatest success in the history of the world:

1. We have enjoyed a highly educated population.
2. We have a similar moral code, which everyone follows.
3. We maintain a similar ethical standard for all citizens.
4. We have sustained one standard language so we can debate together and move forward together as a people.
Current Muslim immigrants will not stand for our national anthem because they said, “It’s too oppressive.” They refuse to learn English. A recent poll showed that 51 percent of them demand Sharia Law. Islam counters everything in Western societies: women’s rights, men’s rights, gay rights, religious choice, religious choice, choice of mate. Worse, it advocates for honor killings, female genital mutilation and arranged marriages.

Ladies and gentlemen of America—we are losing those four factors of a cohesive society and more. If you look around you, we are losing the connecting thread of our society at over 1.5 million legal and illegal immigrants annually. They are not assimilating nor are they speaking our language. The obvious result of that will be much like the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel. Once everyone couldn’t speak the same language, they argued, fought and separate into different factions. You’re seeing the same thing happen with blinding speed in America.

What can you do? Join www.useenglish.org and www.proenglish.org

We must mandate that English is the only official language of America and that it is the only allowed language for all official documents, schools, voter registration, driver’s licenses and everything else. We need citizens who can read, write and speak English. We must demand it for citizenship. It matters little if you speak a dozen languages, but, if you’re an American, you speak English.

If you don’t want a Paris, France or San Bernardino event in your community, it’s time to call for a total “Immigration Shutdown Now.”

Call your senators and House rep: 1 202 224 3121. Demand a stop to all immigration and stop to any Syrian immigration.

Definition of slogan: “Immigration Shutdown Now means the American people want a total shutdown on all legal and illegal immigration. That means we want all illegal immigration stopped by arresting, prosecuting and jailing employers of illegal aliens. We deport all illegal aliens by taking their jobs away and as we catch them. We want English mandated as our national language. We demand a cessation of Muslim immigration in order to protect our culture, language and way of life. We can’t save the world but we can destroy our civilization. We demand a stable population that allows everyone to live, work and thrive into the 21st century. Especially our children.” FHW

That’s why you need to take action. Send this series to everyone in your network. Educate them. Urge them to take action by joining these websites to become faxers of prewritten letters and phone callers. We must force Congress into an “Immigration Shutdown Now!

“The difference between a politician and a statesman is that a politician thinks about the next election while the statesman think about the next generation.” — James Freeman Clarke

“Our leaders know we’re turning into a giant ghetto and they are taking every last hubcap they can get their hands on before the rest of us wake up and realize what’s happened.” — Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone (Goldman Sachs)

certain conservative circles, (those who signed onto National Reviews’ ‘Against Trump’) that Donald Trump does next to nothing to help veterans. It turns out Trump has been generous with veterans over the past decades–all it takes is a little more research than those with an ax to grind seem willing to do.

UPI reported in 1995 how Trump was credited with ‘saving’ the New York Veterans Day Parade. The parade that year was marking the fiftieth anniversary of the end of World War II. A 1995 video report archived by Getty Images features Trump speaking about the parade.

Donald Trump with wife Melania and sons Eric and Donald, Jr. Trump holds the Phelps Award as 2008 Honoree of the Year by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Plaza.

Trump said, “The fact is you have a group of people that has been so tremendous for this country and they’ve been forgotten. And I think that tomorrow they’re going to be remembered.”

This was not Trump’s first time supporting the New York Veterans Day Parade. In 1987 Trump gave $1 million to help the parade when it was in transition, according to a history of the parade reported by Business Insider in 2013. [Link]

Why They Can Lie

We can thank the liberal 1964 Warren Supreme Court for a unanimous decision in New York Times Company v. Sullivan. It was argued on January 6-7, 1964, and decided on March 9, 1964. (In a 1962 case, this Court was the one who ruled that religious prayer in public schools was unconstitutional according to the First Amendment principle of church and state.)

The Warren Court

Link]

In August 1962, the Alabama Supreme Court upheld the judgment. 

The oral arguments on the case before the US Supreme Court took place in January 1964.

Mr. M. Roland Nachman was the lawyer for the plaintiff, Mr. Sullivan. His daughter, Linda Connelly said, “Daddy said to his colleagues and family, ‘Either I will win the case or they will change the law of the land.’” The law of the land was changed.

The following few paragraphs tell the story:

First and Fourteenth Amendments in a libel action brought by a public official (Sullivan) against critics (NYT’s) of his official conduct. The decision further held that under the proper safeguards the evidence presented in this case is constitutionally insufficient to support the judgment for Sullivan. 

And just how does one now prove ACTUAL MALICE? 

The Decision:

Thanks to the decision in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, we now know why they can lie and get away with it.

Republican House Representative from Michigan’s 7th District Tim Walberg was once a leading “birther” not so long ago, when he was seeking a seat in the U.S. House in the 2010 election. This is a VIDEO of Representative Walberg at a local town hall meeting during his bid for the U.S. House in 2010, in which Mr. Walberg acknowledges the known “birther” (Constitutional eligibility) questions surrounding Barack Hussein Obama, and mentions the word “impeachment” for the first time…

On January 26, 2016, the 7th District of the Michigan Republican Party passed a Resolution calling upon their U.S. House Representative Tim Walberg, to initiate TNALC Articles of Impeachment against Barack Hussein Obama, deemed by Mr. Walberg and many House and Senate Republicans to be the most impeachable administration in U.S. history. (HERE IS THE SIGNED RESOLUTION)

The 7th District GOP covers seven Michigan counties and is represented by twenty-five District GOP Committee members, twenty-four of whom were present for the vote last week. The 7th District Resolution for Impeachment passed by a 14-10 vote.

In a pre-meeting ahead of the official gathering, the committee was unanimous on the following issues…

• Barack Hussein Obama is guilty of impeachable offenses
• Barack Hussein Obama has been very destructive to the USA and continues to be
• Impeachment is the proper constitutional solution to Obama treason, tyranny and treachery
• Obama should be impeached
However, as indicated by the 14-10 vote on the Resolution to Impeach, members of the 7th District were not quite so united, given the opportunity to take an official stand on the record. In part, this may be due to the fact that Representative Walberg and two aides decided to show up and speak against the impeachment resolution, after the pre-meeting and before the actual vote was taken.

Even though Representative Walberg has been a very outspoken critic of Barack Obama’s since 2010, speaking about how “we are slaves of government” in this May 2014 VIDEO, and then just last November, Representative Walberg had this to say about the threat of Obama aiding and abetting known terrorists across the Middle East and importing them to the USA under the guise of “refugee resettlement” …

“Michigan has a long and rich tradition as a welcoming state, and we can provide humanitarian assistance while at the same time prioritizing the safety of our citizens. Given the recent terrorist attacks abroad and the very real threats we face, it is common sense to pause Syrian refugee admissions until a thorough review of our security processes is conducted. We need absolute certainty that rigorous vetting procedures are in place and enhanced safety measures are taken to protect the people of Michigan and all Americans. Ultimately, we need a plan to address the root cause of the refugee crisis—the President’s failed foreign policy in the region—and develop a strategy to destroy, not merely try to contain, ISIS,” said Walberg.
Last October, Walberg had this to say about Obama’s weakening of our own military…

“It’s reckless and wrong for President Obama to veto the critical funding our military needs at a time of escalating threats at home and abroad. In just the fifth veto of this entire presidency, the President has undercut our sacred constitutional responsibility to provide for a strong national defense. It’s a sad day when a bipartisan bill to ensure our troops are equipped to carry out their missions and keep America safe is vetoed purely for political gamesmanship to force an increase of deficit spending,” said Walberg.
But Walberg stopped short of saying it the way DNC Vice Chair Tulsi Gabbard said it on Real Time HBO. Gabbard essentially accuses the Obama Administration of aiding and abetting known enemies of the United States, including working hand-in-hand with ISIS in the Middle East, and giving rise to the Muslim caliphate.

However, after the 7th District vote in support of Impeachment last week, Representative Walberg was singing a very different tune, while chatting it up with constituents who had just given him GOP marching orders on Impeachment from his entire District….

7th District GOP Committee member Jimmie Minnick, Jr. talked about his motivations in an interview with TNALC Radio here and here. Just like Carroll County in Tennessee and Gratiot County in Michigan a few days before, GOP Committees at the County and District level have been working to pass a resolution supporting impeachment for months now. Why?

Because House Republicans like Louie Gohmert of Texas and Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee have been stating that they know they can and should impeach, but “the people do not support impeachment.”

Yet even after the 7th District passed their Resolution, Representative Walberg told constituents that “he knows of no reason to impeach Obama…” – his memory lapse of all of his previous statements to the contrary notwithstanding…

Hillsdale County GOP Chairman Glenn Frobel was at the 7th District meeting and asked Representative Walberg if he would act on the resolution just passed by his district. In Mr. Frobel’s words…

Representative Walberg stated – “Obama has not done anything impeachable.” Mr. Frobel then asked Walberg, “what about changing the Affordable Care Act with his pen?” to which Walberg said “The Supreme Court said he (Obama) could do that.” The conversation concluded with Representative Walberg telling Mr. Frobel, “get me a list of impeachable things Obama has done…”
One of Representative Walberg’s most interesting excuses was his statement to meeting attendees that he had sought counsel with Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn, who has made Hillsdale College a Tea Party favorite through their Constitutional Course.

According to Representative Walberg’s statements at the meeting, Arnn advised Walberg against impeachment, the “constitutional solution” for the most impeachable administration in U.S. history, which left Walberg constituents wondering, why did they elect Walberg if it is the unelected Larry Arnn who is going to make Walberg’s decisions, at odds with his District, I might add? Everyone’s a constitutionalist until the time comes to take a stand for the constitution… then many self-proclaimed constitutionalists scatter for cover.

This is why GOP registration and participation is going the way of the Whig party.

Republican politicians like Walberg want to be relevant to their voters, donors and committee members, especially at election campaign time, while at the same time sending a clear signal that none of them are relevant to Walberg.

In 2010, the people entrusted the national purse strings to Republicans in the House for the sole purpose of defunding Obama’s entire agenda against America. Since then, Republicans have defunded nothing of Obama’s agenda, not even Planned Parenthood, even after film of butchered baby parts for sale hit the internet. Five years later, the nation has doubled its national debt. It took America more than seventy years to arrive at $10 trillion in debt, and it took Obama and House Republicans only six years to double that number, with another estimated $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities…

But bankrupting the nation is not an “impeachable offense?” Numerous House Republicans said, if we can get control of the Senate, then we will impeach… which happened over a year ago now. Then they said, if Obama does the Iran deal, or doesn’t stop the inflow of Middle Easterners that we cannot even vet, or doesn’t comply with court orders to stop illegal immigration on our southern border, then we will impeach…. But still, nothing…

So, what are the people to do?

Tea Party and Constitution groups across America started forming State Constitution Accountability Coalitions seven months ago, in at least 29 states, for the sole purpose of pushing Republicans to impeach Obama…

The North American Law Center has proposed three Articles of Impeachment encompassing forty-eight criminal charges. GOP District Committees across the country are working to pass resolutions like the 7th District Resolution in Michigan, just to demonstrate to their elected Representatives in the House that “We the People” expect them to keep their oaths to defend the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, including a rogue administration which has become more of a threat to the well-being of our Constitutional Republic than any outside threat.

Clearly, unless forced to do the right thing by “the people” and GOP Committee members at the county and district levels, no one in the House intends to do the right thing.

Even the US Taxpayer Party of Michigan just passed a Resolution supporting Impeachment. As long as Obama is in power, he remains a threat and it is not too late to impeach. If even treason is no longer worthy of impeachment, then nothing is…

But what kind of country will exist in the wake of Obama’s two anti-American unconstitutional terms is beyond my imagination. I can only hope and pray that there are enough real patriots left in America to join the good people of Michigan, who are leading the charge for Constitutional Accountability. If not, the future for this country is indeed frightening…

Mr. Walberg, as a Christian man, a fellow Republican, a Representative of the 7th Congressional District of Michigan and all Republicans across this country… I call upon you to grow the courage to stand with the good people of your district, for the Constitution and against the evil that currently holds our White House, while you still can.

A Ted Cruz victory in Iowa was not surprising. Not at all. Typically, the Republican presidential candidate that can “Out Christian” the rest of the field wins in Iowa. And Cruz is the best at doing that since G.W. Bush that I’ve seen. But unlike Bush, Cruz will NOT be the Republican nominee. Count on it. And I, for one, am glad he won’t be.

The Cruz victory has got to be seen as a slap in the face for Liberty University’s Jerry Falwell, Jr., who personally campaigned in Iowa for Donald Trump. As much as I like Jerry, Jr., he is not his dad and will never be able to galvanize Christian conservatives like Jerry, Sr., did. The once powerful Religious Right passed with Jerry Falwell, Sr.

Faithful readers of this column know that I have already expressed my feelings that Cruz cannot be trusted to be faithful to the Constitution–especially in matters that pertain to the Warfare State and the Police State. His ties to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and Goldman Sachs cannot be taken lightly. Birds of a feather still flock together. His staff is littered with New World Order fellow travelers. You are reading one Christian writer who would FAR rather vote for an unbeliever that will preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States than vote for a believer who will NOT preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. And there is nothing about Ted Cruz that convinces me he would be faithful to the Constitution–his Christian rhetoric notwithstanding.

Plus, of all of the GOP presidential candidates, Ted Cruz is probably the deepest in the pocket of the Israeli lobby–not that the rest of them aren’t also. However, I still maintain that Rand Paul is the LEAST obligated to the Israeli lobby of all of them. (Rand Paul also demonstrates more fidelity to the Constitution than the rest of the field put together. And now that Rand has pulled out of the race, there really isn’t a constitutionally literate contender left.) Unlike many of my Christian brethren, I am convinced that the Zionists in Israel and America are a major destructive force to liberty and a direct threat to the Biblical, Natural Law principles upon which the United States was founded. The more allegiance a U.S. politician has to Zionism, the more harmful he or she is to America. Put Ted Cruz at the top of the list.

Obviously, this primary season has just begun, and an Iowa victory portends very little for things to come. This could wind up being a very interesting and unusual election season. Let your mind ruminate over some of these possible scenarios:

1. The GOP has a brokered convention, and establishment insiders pick Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio.

This is a distinct possibility. The establishment is going all out to defeat Donald Trump, but his momentum is significant. It is very feasible that no candidate will have mustered the necessary delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot. If that happens, you can be sure that the establishment knows how to manipulate the convention to ensure that an insider wins. The two candidates who fit that bill the best are Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio. Rush Limbaugh is revealing his establishment loyalties by saying (with a straight face even) that Rubio is NOT an establishment candidate. But he is.

If this scenario becomes reality, a host of the Trump/Cruz/Carson/Paul supporters would abandon the GOP in November like rats off of the proverbial sinking ship. Then again, the GOP establishment would rather burn the house down than let a principled conservative win, as they are much more closely aligned with liberal Democrats than they are conservative Republicans.

2. Donald Trump sees the GOP establishment rigging primaries to defeat him and decides to run as an Independent.

I realize Trump signed a pledge that he would not bolt the GOP, but everyone knows that Trump is still holding that ace up his sleeve. Of course, many people know that Trump has had a long-standing personal friendship with the Clintons, and they fear he is playing the system to ensure a Hillary victory. That’s speculation, of course. But given that Trump talks and acts “from the hip” (assuming he is NOT a Hillary mole), his loyalty to his pledge will surely be tested, as the GOP establishment will do everything it can do to stack the deck against him. As the primaries (and passions) heat up, Trump is indeed the loose cannon in the field that could do just about anything–including jumping ship and running as an Independent.

3. Hillary is indicted or begins losing significantly to Bernie Sanders, and Democrats scramble to bring another insider (like Joe Biden) into the race.

Officials in Iowa are saying Hillary defeated party rival Bernie Sanders by the skin of her teeth. Plus, everyone is aware that some of those local victories were determined by coin tosses. The Democratic machine gave Hillary the win in Iowa and everyone knows it.

The Clinton camp has got to be worried after the embarrassing “victory” in Iowa. Sanders’ support is growing, while Clinton’s support is waning. The party machine is going to have to work around the clock to keep her afloat. But if Sanders begins to pull away from Hillary, her establishment buddies will turn on her like a pack of wolves on a bleeding lobo. Indictments are still hanging out there, and if it becomes obvious that Hillary isn’t winning primaries by landslide margins, watch the insiders throw her to the wolves and enlist another insider such as Joe Biden. Such an event would upset the applecart BIG TIME. And don’t forget that the former Democratic senator from Virginia and true war hero who served in the Reagan cabinet, Jim Webb, is waiting in the wings for just the right opportunity to enter the race. Wow! The possibilities are almost endless.

Obviously, Bernie Sanders is to the Democrats what Donald Trump is to the Republicans: a major thorn in the side.

4. Former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg enters the race as an Independent–bringing with him $1 billion to spend. Or, Democrats tap Bloomberg if they abandon Clinton.

Bloomberg is another loose cannon that could shake things up this year. No doubt about that. But a billion dollars or no billion dollars, Bloomberg is mostly a one-string banjo. The only thing he is passionate about is disarming the American people. And while Clinton and Sanders might be just as bad on the Second Amendment, Bloomberg’s fanaticism on the issue would drive away virtually all of the gun owners in the country–including Democrats and Independents. The fact is, the mood of the country is more favorable toward the Second Amendment now than at any time in recent memory, which is why the Democratic Party will probably ignore Bloomberg.

But two independent billionaires in the general election (if it came to that)–one an ultra-liberal and the other a tough-talking “conservative”–would definitely shake things up. No doubt about it. Imagine (we are just ruminating here) a four-man race that includes the two major party candidates and two independent billionaires. And if it does become a four-man race between the above-mentioned people, can you imagine what would happen if Ron Paul suddenly decided to jump back in the race? Ron is still as sharp as a tack and more fit than many men half his age.

The last time anything remotely resembling the above happened was in 1860. And you know what happened the year after that.

And personally, I see regional separation (no, it would not have to be bloody–and I highly doubt that it would be) as a good thing, not as a bad thing. In fact, I think it is inevitable. It’s not a matter of “if.” It’s only a matter of “when.” But I digress.

Suffice it to say, folks, this is shaping up to be the most unusual and unpredictable election season in my lifetime–maybe since that election back in 1860. Hold on!

P.S. Recent events have graphically illustrated the need for the American citizenry to have an educated and informed understanding of the laws and protocols–as well as our rights and duties–when placed in contact with police officers. Sadly, most Americans are totally unprepared to deal with even “routine” traffic stops. Violent interactions between police officers and citizens are escalating. Sometimes the blame lies with law enforcement, and sometimes the blame lies with the citizen. Knowing how to respond to a police contact has never been more important.

My attorney son (a former prosecutor and now defense attorney) recently delivered an address to the folks at Liberty Fellowship in Kalispell, Montana, entitled “Police Contact: How To Respond.” I believe EVERY citizen in the country needs to watch this video. It might even save some lives. I encourage readers to order at least two: one for themselves and one for a friend.

All eyes may be on the Republican primary and the brewing battles between Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump and Fox News, and Donald Trump and National Review, and Donald Trump and fill-in-the-blank — but the Democratic race is where the real news is happening.
The fact that Sen. Bernie Sanders, a self-declared Socialist, is heating up the campaign trail against the one-time presumptive primary winner, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, is one of the biggest tragedies facing America right now. It also happens to be one of the most under-reported.
Flash back to February 2009 when the cover of Newsweek blared forth the shocking headline, “We Are All Socialists Now” and the inside article elaborated with the subtitled query: “Can America Adopt a More European Model, Only With a Faster Rate of Growth?” Then there were the widely watched “Hardball” interviews of July 2015 and January 2016 when MSNBC host Chris Matthews asked the Democratic National Committee’s Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Mrs. Clinton, respectively, to define the differences between their political party and Socialism, with the ensuing results in both cases being wide-eyed stutters and off-guard stumbles. Then there was the should-be-historic reach-out of President Obama to Socialist Mr. Sanders with a January 27 closed-door meeting at the White House, the nation’s highest hallways of power, to trade thoughts on ISIS, foreign policy and other matters of political importance.
Anybody else see the alarm here?
Add in Mrs. Clinton’s lagging poll numbers, due in large part to her own doing, and the simultaneous rise of Mr. Sanders’, and what we have is a seismic shift in politics, one that says bluntly, It’s okay to admit being a Socialist. The tag doesn’t bring a blacklist. It brings an invite to the White House.
True, Democrats have been leaning Socialist for some time. But they’ve been masking it as progressive policy.
Mr. Sanders now represents for Socialists what Michael Sam, the first openly gay NFL player, represented for the homosexual rights movement – legitimacy. His Siimon and Garfunkel “America” all-court press has freed Socialists from the shadows. Their stigma is gone. And that – not the pooll numbers, or the day-to-day politicking, or the he-said, she-said arguments, but rather the sad disappearance of America’s noble republic, complete with principles of limited government as based on God-given rights – is the big story, the media-missed picture. Giving Mr. Sanders suuch a large platform is a startling commentary on the state of U.S. politics and culture. Watching his Socialist race be greeted with such favor is a pitiful discovery that speaks volumes about the country’s demise.

The fact that some argument has popped from the far-left camps condemning Mr. Sanders as little more than a Socialist wanna-be, and that the candidate himself often says he’s more a Democratic-Socialist, is little comfort to those who see America in the same vein as the Founding Fathers – or little maatter. It’s the movement of Socialism into the mainstream, in either hyphenated form or stand-alone, that’s the larger concern, the loudest outrage.

Thomas Jefferson was said to have written, “It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all.” Mr. Sanders, on the other hand, offered this, in a January 19 Twitter post: “Our job is to tell every kid in this country, that if they work hard, regardless of family income, they will get a college education.” Or this, the same day: “I got a message for the Walton family of Walmart: Get off of welfare and pay your workers a living wage.” Or this a day earlier, of a Martin Luther King Jr. quote: “Call it democracy, or call it democratic socialism, but there must be a better distribution of wealth.”
These are the ideas that are gaining steam in America. Truthfully, they have been for years, and from both sides of the political aisles. The disappointing and depressing realization, though, is that thanks in large part to Mr. Sanders and his steaming charge through Iowa toward New Hampshire, outing them out as Socialist is not dimming their appeal.

Last Thursday, NewsWithViews.com’s political reporter appeared on the Christian radio talk show Crosstalk with Jim Schneider, to discuss Democratic Party presidential wannabe Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, the Battle of Benghazi, and the investigation of the Clinton Foundation.

NewsWithViews.com thanks former CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, an Emmy award winning investigative journalist who is the host of the Sunday morning news program “Full Measure,” and author of the New York Times bestseller: “Stonewalled,” for providing a chronological breakdown of the most devious and corrupt political cover up since President Richard M. Nixon’s Watergate Scandal.

Attkisson was one of the first journalists to fly on a military combat mission: a B-52 sortie in Kosovo. She also flew on an F-15 fighter jet Combat Air Patrol (CAP) flight.

2008

December: President Obama nominates Hillary Clinton for secretary of state.

2009

Sept. 11: Islamic extremists launch the terrorist attacks on U.S. compounds in Benghazi, Libya, killing Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

October: Clinton convenes Accountability Review Board (ARB) to investigate State Dept. actions surrounding Benghazi.

After the ARB and Congress call for Benghazi-related documents, top Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Jake Sullivan are allegedly present at a document sorting session in the basement of the State Dept., according to Deputy Assistant Secretary Raymond Maxwell, who later told me he witnessed the operation. No law enforcement body contacted or interviewed Maxwell.

Nov. 7: Judicial Watch files Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request with State Dept. for Benghazi-related emails and other information.

Dec. 13, 2012: State Dept. discloses that Clinton had “fallen” while suffering from a stomach virus sometime the previous week and gotten a “concussion” that was “not severe.” Bill Clinton would later say that her injury “required six months of very serious work to get over.”

Clinton postpones imminent Congressional testimony which had been scheduled.

Dec. 18-19: Clinton writes Congress promising to implement ARB recommendations and ARB officials provide briefing on their findings.

Judicial Watch files another FOI request with State Dept.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright uttered the phrase “The Chickens Are Coming Home to Roost” in reference to the effects of racism in America. In retrospect, we would have done well to heed his admonition.

The chickens always come home to roost.

“Eating crow” is another hackneyed cliché spewed by one of Pastor Wright’s more infamous parishioners and is often used out here in the heartland where folks still cling to their “God and their guns.”

There is a lot of crow soon to be served up and the chickens will soon be lining up at the door of the coop.

The Bible puts it this way, “be sure your sin will find you out.” (Numbers 32:23)

The controversy regarding Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and the natural born citizen requirement in the Constitution is about to bite them in the butt. The farther down the road to the White House we get, the more of an issue their citizenship is going to become.

I think it is pretty clear that neither of them fit the natural born citizen requirement specified in Article II Section I of the Constitution. Even though you will find legal “experts” making arguments on both sides of this issue, there is no doubt that at some point a court is going to be forced to hand down a decision.

The issue is not going to go away—at least not until the Supreme Court rules on precisely what the Founders meant when they inserted the requirement in the document.

This is the elephant in the room; the poison pill that is waiting to derail any Republican attempt to regain control of the White House. I don’t know about you, but the last thing I would want is to put the future of the Republican nominee in the hands of the most corrupt Supreme Court in the history of this nation.

Lawsuits challenging the eligibility of Cruz and Rubio will continue to stack up until some leftist judge somewhere rules that the presumed Republican nominee does not meet the qualifications to hold the highest office in the land.

A series of appeals will ensue until the case, at the last minute, is rushed to the Supreme Court for a determination of eligibility. I’m neither a legal expert nor a bean counter, but I can count the votes: Kagen, Sotomayor, Ginsburg, Breyer on one side versus Roberts, Thomas, Scalia, Alito on the other, leaving good old Mr. Sodomy himself, Anthony Kennedy, holding the future of the election in his unsteady hands.

Yep, the chickens are coming home to roost. This is setting up the Republicans (the gang that couldn’t shoot straight) for disqualification by virtue of shooting themselves in the foot.

Kicking the can down the road will be impossible with a hole in their metatarsals.

The Republican Party could have avoided this conundrum had they simply done their duty in the election of 2008 and challenged the citizenship of Barack Hussein Obama and forced a court to rule on the issue once and for all.

The Republican crow is being cooked on the grill even as we speak.

Candidate Obama was not a natural born citizen either. Hillary Clinton was the first one to raise the issue in her primary run against Obama in 2007. She, and members of the Democratic Party, chose not to pursue the issue for fear of the damage it would do to their strangle-hold on the voting block known as the “African-Americans.”

Early in the election of 2008 some Republicans began to raise the issue, but they were soon ridiculed into silence for fear of being labeled “racists” and losing the “black” vote which was never going to their candidate anyway. This willingness to compromise principle for pragmatism is the bullet in the chamber that could kill a “conservative” victory before the first ballot is cast. All laws matter.

Barack Obama does not meet the natural born citizen requirement. This fact was whispered in the backrooms of Republican circles for years. But fear of being labeled “birthers” or “truthers” caused their knees to buckle at a time when their spine needed to be stiffened. For either Cruz or Rubio to scream “Hispanic” does not carry the same power as the word “African.”

Now we are hearing that certain Republicans are not “conservative” enough to be elected. It’s funny that Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and their ilk, who the claim to be staunch conservative constitutionalists, have never demanded that the first African-American President prove his eligibility before handing him the keys to the most powerful office in the world.

Folks, rule of law matters! We are a nation of laws, and no one is above the law. What principle is more “conservative” than that?

Was Obama eligible to be President? Are Cruz and Rubio eligible to be President? I have a feeling that five black-robed terrorists sitting across the street from the Capitol building will eventually be weighing in on the issue. What do you suppose are the odds of them ruling in favor of the first Hispanic Republican candidate?

The leftists in America have been seething ever since the Supreme Court ruled for the Republicans in Bush v. Gore. This challenge to eligibility could give them the opportunity to even the score for losing the White House in 2000.

I don’t know about you, but I am not too excited about once again putting the fate of the nation in the hands of a make-it-up-as-you-go Supreme Court.

The self-identified “constitutional conservatives” did it to themselves.

Cockadoodledoo!!! The chickens are coming home to roost.

Reality is only real if we choose to think it’s real. That’s a load of twaddle, but it’s what our great colleges and universities have been selling for the last twenty years or so. It got started in college English departments as a way of deconstructing a literary text to make it mean whatever you want it to mean. This used to be known as lunacy. Now they call it education.

Coming soon to a major university near you, the 2016 White Privilege Workshop will be open to high school and middle school kids as well as college students. This is 150-proof academic firewater, guaranteed to rot your brain. And, hey, if you’re having trouble nailing down that Gender Studies degree, they’ll give you course credit just for showing up to this wingding.

As is the mode in higher education today, the workshops try to instill in participants a weird combination of the most arrogant, unearned self-esteem and the most cringing fragility of the psyche. To put it another way, they teach you how to be a nut.

So, for instance, after anointing all these crybabies as Social Justice Warriors—who are going to “disable white racism” (but not any other kind) and force utopia upon a world too stupid to appreciate how smart these college kiddies are—they will herd them into a “safe-space” where they can all whine about how tough it is to change the world, without any risk of hearing a single dissenting word. This is what they call Diversity.

There will also be workshops on how to glorify and elevate cisgendered womyn, whatever those are.

It would be nice if we could just sit back and laugh at this. What could be more ludicrous?

But the trouble is, this academic hogwash seeps out of the universities and infects the whole society. No institution is immune to it. And government, these days, is especially susceptible.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor, for one, has recently announced a scheme to spend millions of tax dollars to replace all its posters and flyers as part of a war “against the Gender Binary” In all of these printed materials, ordinary pronouns like “he” and “she” will be deleted and replaced with “gender-neutral language.” According to a Labor Dept. spokesidiot, this will provide some great, undefined “benefit” to American society.

Reality isn’t real unless you think it’s real. The world’s smartest amoebas tell us so.

Thus the 2015 Woman of the Year was a man.

And a 16-year-old nincompoop in Norway gets international huzzahs for insisting she’s a cat.

At this point I think it’s fair to ask, What, exactly, are they trying to do to us? Who benefits from raising up a whole generation of wackos?

Part of it has got to be the simple over-expansion of our university system. College used to be for scholars, but everyone is not cut out to be a scholar. College is also used, now, to try to teach basic skills and knowledge that the kiddies failed to learn in high school. With virtually everyone going to college, the colleges have to offer degree programs for the great mass of students who have no bent for scholarship. And after that, they have to find college-type jobs for graduates who aren’t fit for anything but—well, more college.

But this is only part of it. After all, they could be handing out degrees in surfing, comic book analysis, or making funny noises—silly enough, but in the long run, harmless.

But what is the point of transforming so many young people into a horde of puffed-up, self-important, thin-skinned, injustice-collecting, profoundly useless idiots who deny such basic aspects of reality as whether someone is a woman or a man?

I don’t know who benefits by this. I don’t know how our country benefits by having such a large portion of her population, year by year, rendered incapable of making any worthwhile contribution.

But this I do know: for whatever their reasons, these “educators” are doing it for all they’re worth; and it is damaging America and her prospects for survival.

The ignorance of one voter in a democracy (Republic) impairs the security of all. —John F. Kennedy

Voting is a right best exercised by people who have taken time to learn about the issues. —Tony Snow

As I mentioned in an earlier article, in 1980, Reagan did not attend the last debate before the Iowa Caucus and he lost to George H.W. Bush. This really shocked the nation. When it came to winning the election, he only lost a few states.

In 1996, Bob Dole won the Iowa Caucus. He won the nomination, but lost the election to Bill Clinton. Remember that was the year of Ross Perot as well.

In 2000, George W. Bush won the Republican Iowa Caucus, and went on to be elected president.

John Kerry won the Iowa Caucus in 2004, and was defeated by George W. Bush.

And of course, in 2012, Rick Santorum won the Iowa Caucus, but again, did not make it to the nomination for Republican President. Instead, Willard Mitt Romney won the nomination and then lost to Obama.

Iowa and New Hampshire

Former Presidents

In the last 40 years, just one person has gone on to win the presidency after losing both Iowa and New Hampshire — Bill Clinton.

Eric Draper/AP 

Then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush spoke in front of a painting of Jesus Christ during a campaign stop in Colfax, Iowa in 2000. Bush is the only Republican to win Iowa since 1976 and become president. 

Republican Nominees

New Hampshire has been better at picking nominees for Republicans. Since 1976 (Gerald Ford won the nomination but lost to Jimmy Carter):

Some Facts

— Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan all lost Iowa but went on to win the presidency.
— Bill Clinton didn’t win either Iowa or New Hampshire in 1992, but was still declared “The Comeback Kid” after his second-place finish in the New Hampshire.
— The person who led the longest in Iowa in the crowded Republican field in 2015, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, was … Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. He led for six months, from February to August, before dropping out because of falling support. Remember when he dropped out, he made the statement that Trump must be defeated.

Praise Jesus then lie like hell

Link] “To have campaigns come out and send emails to their caucus speakers suggesting that Dr. Carson was doing anything but moving forward after tonight is the lowest of low in American politics,” said Carson campaign manager Ed Brookover. [Link]

Check out these cards that were being distributed at caucus locations in Iowa. I think there should be an investigation conducted and the results of the Iowa caucuses declared invalid. Appearances of these cards equates to distribution of campaign materials, since it is clearly an attempt to discredit Trump by showing him associating with the Clintons at his wedding. Not sure who is behind it, Cruz or Rubio, but it is called electioneering to distribute campaign materials at polling places on election day, and it is a major violation of federal election laws.

Globalist Game Plan

Conclusion

I believe with the obvious poll numbers prior to the Iowa Caucus that there is absolutely no way Cruz could have won, nor could Rubio receive the votes he garnered. Many strongly believe that votes were siphoned from Trump and given to Rubio. It has been done before and no one has stopped them.

The Elephant in the Constitution that No One References When Dealing with the Natural Born Citizen Issue.

Pray for our nation, and pray that we do not end up with another globalist in our White House. We need an outsider to try to straighten out this huge myriad of filth that has pervaded our country for dozens of decades.

As advocates for the American rural landowner, (NARLO) we have great empathy for what landowners are having to endure at the hands of a heavy-handed government, the environmentalists that have infiltrated every nick and cranny of government and the Indians that are finding creative ways to seek revenge against the White Man with sympathetic courts, high-paid lawyers and ancient Indian treaties. The fact that the anger is rising in the landowners of the American West is as predictable as the Sun rising in the East.

There have been many confrontations between landowners and the government, environmentalists and the Indians and those confrontations are only going to grow. That rising anger has led to the Jarbidge Shovel Brigade in Northern Nevada near Elko, the Klamath Bucket Brigade in Southern Oregon, the infamous Wayne Hage lawsuit against the government and the Bundy standoff against heavily armed BLM agents in Southeastern Nevada and now the standoff at the Malheur Nature Preserve in Southeastern Oregon.

On the Indian front, besides Indian Casinos, little has been said or is known about the Boldt decision that gave the Indians 50% of the Salmon harvest every year, or the giant monetary award to the Puyallup Indians in Washington State ($162,000,000) over a land claim, or the Coeur d’Alene Indians trying to claim for the tribe all of Lake Coeur d’Alene in Idaho, or the Flathead Indians taking control of all land, water and electricity rights in Western Montana, with the help of the federal and Montana State governments.

Then there is the dictatorial control and abuse by the Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Agency in the management of federal lands that have spilled over into private land holdings with a vengeance.

All of these events directly affect the rural landowners of the Western United States and has lit a match to what could become a raging land war in the West.

The Western landowners have found themselves in the unrelenting grip of a giant bully known as the U. S. Federal Government. They have tried in numerous legal ways to fight that government, but with courts leaning in favor of the government and the radical environmental movement, the rural landowner has found little redress going the legal route. The hard truth is, you can’t fight the power of the federal government alone, which way too many landowners try.

A blaring case in point is the Wayne Hage family ranchers in Southeastern Nevada. They actually had won a court decree from the U. S. Court of Claims to the tune of $14,000,000 after fighting horrendous attempts by the federal government to thwart their every legal move. The elder Hage’s have since died and their son has had to pick up the fight. Some reports indicate that the Hage Family has spent over $2,000,000 in lawyers, court costs and expert witnesses. In over 20 years of that court case and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel by a favorable court award, the family’s hopes were dashed when the federal government took the case to the 9th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals that reversed the lower court’s award and remanded the case back to the lower court with a new judge.

The younger Hage said in a telephone interview Monday that an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court would be difficult. “I don’t know what the future has in store for us.” We have been dealt a lot of ugly over the years. I’m not sure where it’s going to go. It is a big disappointment, not just for my family but for the entire industry. They felt relief at the Jones decision. Ranchers’ rights had been upheld but now it has all been overturned. It looks to me like the 9th Circuit just swelled the ranks of the militias.” Hage said he is not involved with the militias but that he understands their frustrations with the federal government.”

The 9th Circuit overturned the lower court’s ruling because the lower court judge allegedly harbored “animus” towards the federal agencies. Imagine that! Since the courts most always lean in favor of the government and against the citizens, that’s OK in the minds of the FEDS, but woe be to the judge who dares to lean in favor of citizen’s rights and the constitution.

Given this backdrop and the frustration of the landowners trying to fight an intransigent government, it is no wonder that some landowners decided to take matters into their own hands and confront the government with guns at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada where a blood bath was averted by cooler heads.

The Bundy standoff in 2014 has led to the current Oregon standoff where trigger happy Oregon State Patrol and FBI agents couldn’t wait to shoot one of the landowners at a traffic stop in what has been reported by eyewitness Victoria Sharps, who was in the white SUV, as, “red laser lights everywhere, shined on all of the occupants of the rancher’s car, and a hail of bullets from the FBI agents fired into our car where Ryan Bundy was wounded. It’s a wonder we weren’t all killed.”

See eyewitness video/audio here

The apparent summary execution of Lavoy Finicum at the traffic stop was murder according to Ms. Sharps. She stated that Lavoy. 54, a Mormon and father of 11 children and 19 grandchildren, had his hands up when the FBI agents shot him several times and while he was laying on the ground, they shot him three more times. But let’s not forget that Lavoy Finicum tried to run a roadblock.

The FBI calls Ms. Sharps’ testimony false and has released a video of the event. The FBI claims Lavoy was reaching for a gun when they shot him. Couldn’t they have at least waited to see the gun before they shot him? The FBI video doesn’t mention or show the bullet-riddled SUV. Any investigation into the shooting will likely be a whitewash.

But this begs the question of why would a father of 11 children be at a place where he could be killed? That’s irresponsible. Who will take care of the children and his ranch now that he is gone ….. the government?

By the time this article is published, the Malheur Nature Preserve occupation will probably be over. The apparent leader of the ranchers, Ammon Bundy, from his jail cell, has strongly urged the other remaining ranchers to go home, if they can get out of there without being arrested, or shot. Hopefully, they will leave peacefully and no more blood shed will occur.

There were only two possible outcomes from the Oregon standoff. The first outcome is all of the ranchers would all be shot dead by government agents. The other outcome was that they would be arrested for breaking the law. Only one was shot dead and the rest have been, or probably will be, arrested. They could serve many years in jail.

What did the ranchers hope to accomplish? Yes, they obtained national news coverage, but that coverage labeled the ranchers as thugs and terrorists. What the ranchers wanted was the Hammond Father and Son Oregon ranchers to be released from prison for a trumped up arson charge by the government giving them a five-year sentence as terrorists. That sentence was obviously over-kill by the government and was and is a travesty of justice. Nevertheless, even after the standoff is over, the Hammonds will still be in prison. So there was no win on this demand.

The ranchers’ second demand was for the federal government to cede all federal lands to the states. That demand was never going to happen in the short term but several states are attempting to regain control of federal lands in their states. We see movement along these lines in Utah, Nevada and Idaho.

Even though we sympathize with the ranchers and their cause, the occupation was futility by any other name, driven by irrational anger and frustration. The news of the occupation will be dead in a week or two, drowned out by the Presidential race. The trials of those arrested might be covered but it won’t be front-page news. The press will crucify the ranchers and when the ranchers go to jail, no one will care. The ranchers will become nameless martyrs in a long war against rising government tyranny, even though the ranchers’ honorable goal was to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

What are the lessons learned from the Oregon occupation event? The first lesson is, you have to be smarter than the government and that shouldn’t be too hard given that government employees are intellectually challenged at best. What the ranchers did was not being smarter than the government.

The second lesson is that you don’t go up against a superior force with a handful of disorganized armed citizens. That’s not only folly it can be deadly and is in direct violation of the art of war. If Americans decide they want to challenge the military power of the federal government, they had better have no less than 10,000 heavily armed, dedicated citizens with a tight organization, strong leadership, adequately supplied and funded, a detailed plan and the commitment and courage to confront government no matter what the cost. Any outright war with the 10,000 would be perceived by the public as heavy handed and dictatorial and the mask of government tyranny would finally be removed for all to see. That is probably why the government backed down at the Bundy Ranch in Nevada in 2014 because of the adverse public opinion if civilian Americans started dying in the desert at the hands of BLM agents.

Anyone should know that the government can easily over power a smaller force as they did in Oregon and the smaller force will have gained nothing out of the confrontation. But a force of 10,000 or more raises the stakes to a whole new level where the government will think twice about a war where Americans are killing other Americans, albeit that didn’t stop them in the civil war.

Government could not ignore the demands of an army of 10,000 armed and dedicated civilians who intended to punctuate their demands with guns. However, as far as we know, there is no force of an organized group of 10,000 heavily armed citizens lurking in the shadows of America right now.

Consequently, the only other way is to legally challenge the government by using the courts, like the environmentalists do, even knowing that the courts and brainwashed juries lean in favor of the government and especially the environmentalists. Such a strategy requires a non-beatable legal team and tens of millions of dollars to fund the legal battle. Yes, we can take back America in the courts, with enough money.

If the 50,000,000 or so voters that voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 election donated $10.00 per month for a year, a war chest of $500,000,000 would be raised each month (that’s $6 Billion Dollars in a year) to fight a legal battle. Even if 10% of that 50 million would donate $10.00, that would be enough. The giant legal firms would fall all over themselves to represent this group in that they would sue their own mother if there were enough money in it for them.

But until such a legal strategy is mounted and the funds raised, nothing will change in America. As we said in our last article entitled, “America’s Collapse Is A Self-Fulfilling Prophecy – UNLESS”, “….. a critical mass of dedicated American citizens finally decide to resist government tyranny by acts of civil disobedience on a grand scale, punctuated by the threat of force if necessary.” A Boston style tea party, or even a million-man march on Washington DC, or an armed occupation at a nature preserve in Oregon to seek a redress of grievances, just doesn’t cut it in today’s America. The corrupt “system” will just swallow them up and spit them out.

But we wonder who gets it, or even whose listening, or worse, who cares?

If you care, let us know HERE.

“It remains to be seen what God will do with a man who gives himself up wholly to Him.” -D. L. Moody

America, can you imagine if 78% of those who claim to be Christians actually loved God (John 14:21) enough to obey Him (Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4), what this country would be like? I can! If only the American people would meet The Lord on His terms (Jeremiah 29:11-13).

John Adams, the second President of the United States, wrote an entry his diary dated February 22, 1756,

“Suppose a nation in some distant region should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love and reverence toward Almighty God…What a Utopia, what a Paradise would this region be.”

With all the lawlessness that is abounding in America, genuine Christians know that grace does still abound over sin (Romans 5:20; 1 John 4:4). The Scriptures tell us, “In all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans 8:37). We are also told, “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4), and that Jesus Christ is “the author and the finisher of that faith” (Hebrew 12:2). Those who have that faith, the faith of the Son of God, are crucified to the world, and the world to them (Matthew 16:24; Galatians 2:20; 6:14).

Yet, there are some that simply do not hear (1 John 4:5-6).

D. L. Moody the Chicago preacher said,

“It remains to be seen what God will do with a man who gives himself up wholly to Him.”

In Matthew 4:9, the devil offered Christ the world when he said, “All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.”

Yet, Christ created all things (Colossians 1:16-17).

Scripture tells Christians to ask of God, and He will give the heathen to them for their inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for their possession (Psalm 2:8).

That is the heart of God, and His objective is to “seek and save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10; Ezekiel 33:11).

Feeling within myself the life and the leading of the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14), and that my objective is aligned with The Lord’s (Psalm 37:4), if the devil has the world to offer those who bow to him, what might the Lord offer to His children for His glory when asked (Daniel 3)?

He said that we are to open our mouths wide so He can fill them (Psalm 81:10).

He asks, “Who has believed the report of the Lord? And upon whom is the arm of The Lord revealed (Isaiah 53:1)?

The Lord tells us that those whose hearts are perfect towards Him shall do great exploits (2 Chronicles 16:9; Titus 3:5)!

We are to call unto Him and He has promised to show unto us great and mighty things (Jeremiah 33:3).

Jesus told His Church that they would do greater things than He did (John 14:12). Scripture goes even further to tell us that if all the things that were done by Christ were written, that all the books in the world could not contain them (John 21:25)!

Therefore, what God did for others in their day, He promises to do, and more, in ours (Malachi 3:16; Hebrews 13:8). He is faithful to a thousand generations, which includes ours, Christians (Psalms 105:8).

I love to talk of the “cloud of witnesses” (Hebrews 12). Remember the God of these men?

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of Moses, Joshua, David, The God of Gideon, The God of Samson and The God of Elijah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, The God of Amos, The God of my Lord Jesus Christ “The Lion of the tribe of Judah, etc….

I also love to talk about the presence and power of God that abode upon our fathers of the faith: Martin Luther, John Knox, John Calvin, John Bunyan, Charles Spurgeon, John Wesley, George Whitfield, William and Catherine Booth, etc….

These men and woman were those who responded to the Lord and they found Him! The results are that the world saw the Most High God in action and in demonstration through His Church (1 John 5:12).

It is one thing to talk of these men of God. Yet, it is another thing to know the God of our fathers, to walk with God and to be known of God. These that I mentioned proved Him and found Him to be exactly what Scripture declares of Him!

To do otherwise is to limit The Holy One of Israel.

“Those that teach that the day of miracles is past, teach the most disastrous lie ever told… Such lies are responsible for the prevalent lack of faith in God and have robbed Christianity of the power to demonstrate itself.” -John G. Lake

In America, how can anyone deny the divine hand of the Living God? They cannot! Where our forefathers left off, it is for the American Church to pick up.

Alright, let’s rid ourselves of this “God Thing”! We will accept the fact that there is no God. No Creator. No divine plan manifest in a divine creation. No real rhyme or reason for world events or our personal lives. Everything is “only” an accident or incident that just happens through men’s action or a evolutionary process that just happens to occur. There are no “absolute” laws that govern every aspect of all life. Just a kind of survival of the fittest that causes changes and evolution in all orders of life. Physical, mental and “spiritual” change caused by “accidental” decisions based on the necessity of the moment.

Let’s just forget the foolish idea that the Bible is the inspired, eternal, immutable word of an all powerful and all knowing God. We’ll ignore Prov. 3:5-7, Romans 1:28, Ps. 2:1-3, Prov. 14:12 and Ps. 14:1.

Good! That’s settled! Just one question please? How do we live then? Who gets to make the rules? Whose rules or laws are the final solution and answer to moral or ethical questions? Gosh, what is morality then anyway? You know the God thing rules like, it’s a sin to murder, steal, commit adultery or to fornicate, to bear false witness, or dishonor your parents. How did we live with such an old-fashioned idea as “sin”? Golly, we were so stupid! I mean, to believe and think that mankind should live by a set of rules or laws that would dare judge them for doing wrong!! How absolutely ignorant! Oops, I forgot, there is no absolutes! I mean how silly of us to judge others by standards that we believe in!

Gee, just think! Fifty years ago we actually thought that we could tell a woman that she couldn’t kill that “blob of tissue” in her womb! How arrogant and self-righteous! And who am I to expect my wife to not have an “extra marital affair”. After all, what set of rules say it’s wrong? Even if she or I want a same sex partner, whose business is that? It’s not a sin! There is no more sin! It’s what I desire! Who dares to judge either of us for fulfilling our “natural born” tendencies!?

Isn’t that a damned foolish way of thinking?!! Psalms 14:1! Romans 1:28! But as a society we have allowed by our silence, God’s word and laws to be ignored to our destruction! You can’t build an individual life or family without the absolute, immutable and “fundamental” laws set by a Holy God, much less a whole society! There is no foundation without an unchanging base to build it on!

Don’t blame Obama, your legislators, your courts or white house for America’s destruction. The blame lies exclusively in the church house! Even more precisely, the pulpits have damned the nation! The pastors have become stupid, insensible and cowardly! They have scattered the flock, caused mass confusion and compromise! They have become dumb dogs! Lazy and apathetic to evil. Jer. 10:21, Is. 56:10

Again, the question, “How shall we live then?” If you are truly a blood bought, spirit-filled child of the only living God of all creation, you will live by His laws and directions as much as you are capable of understanding, or you will be damned. For all eternity! John 14:15, Matt. 10:33. Thank God for His marvelous grace! But don’t misuse or abuse His grace! You will damn yourselves!

Hebrews 10:28-29

You almost cannot help but appreciate that Americans feel desperation in their lives at their inability to stop the invasion of their country by endless immigration.

Our U.S. Congress won’t moderate a rogue Muslim president. Another 200,000 Syrian refugees continue flooding into our country—without our acceptance. The president won’t secure our borders. The annual flow of 1.2 million legal immigrants proceeds without pause or question. None of the past five presidents protected our borders. The past 10 Congresses never, ever established laws for visa overstays that now make up more than 30 percent of illegal aliens within America.

The results of this invasion manifested in 9/11, Fort Dix Six, Boston Marathon, Chattanooga, Tennessee; Moore, Oklahoma, Phoenix, Arizona; New York Times Square bomber; San Bernardino, California—and MANY more to come. Worse, we added 100 million people in the last 45 years and expect another 100 million within 34 years by 2050.

Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, New York City, Houston, Miami, San Francisco—face incredible consequences from sheer human numbers from water shortages to air pollution to horrible qualities of life for all citizens. Just watch the news every night for murders, accidents, failing schools, homelessness, despair and drug gangs.

One reader responded to my latest column:

“You know, America is the third most populous nation on Earth and yet we receive the highest number of immigrants,” said Tim. “There is something wrong with that equation. Neither China nor India encourages immigrants into their countries. In fact Russia, with a reasonably low population density in Siberia, doesn’t really do so either. When will the ‘no vacancy” sign be turned on.

“I first became aware of this decades ago when speaking with an English owner of a small pub in a little Missouri country town. He said England was far more rural outside of the big cities than America. That really surprised me – and thirty years later it is truer than ever. I assumed the English countryside was more densely settled than America.

“And we are settling people with little or no connection to our culture or heritage. A nation cannot remain what it is if it is out-bred by invaders. Rome fell for that reason (among others). Lebanon is another example, one from modern times; the Lebanese allowed Palestinians to come as refugees and they more or less took over. Now Lebanon – which had a vibrant Christian culture and a peaceful multicultural society – is an Islamic hell-hole. That’s what unrestrained immigration does.

“In fact, many nations have been blotted out by immigrants throughout history. The Britons are now but a memory, having been driven into the small peninsula of Wales by the invading Germanic tribes. The Khazars of Russia, a unique nation that practiced Judaism, is gone, driven out by Russians and Mongols.

“The Ainu of Japan are down to just a few thousand individuals. They once owned the Japanese Islands, Caucasian peoples who were swallowed up by the Asiatic Japanese. Missouri was once owned by the Osage; haven’t seen any of them around here in a long time. We are next if we don’t put some rational limits on immigration.”

Because of immigration, we explode as the third fastest growing nation on Earth behind China and India. China grows by 8,000,000 annually and India by 16 million by their own hands. We add 3.1 million via immigration.

Right now, Catholic Charities, Lutheran Church Refugee Centers and other organizations work overtime to flood America with refugees. They fail to consider what another 200,000 Syrian refugees will do to the communities where they land. Talk about mixing Muslims with Christians! Result: disaster after disaster. Just look at Europe!

Congress continues to flood our country with 1.2 million refugees from 190 countries year in and year out, decade in and decade out.

Those same Congressional Critters live in gated communities, private schools for their kids, and enjoy massive paychecks—$174,000.00 annually for members of Congress—while the rest of us with average American incomes in the $40,000.00 range, pay for all the welfare given to immigrants.

Weren’t immigrants supposed to benefit our country by contributing? Instead, they use welfare as a way of life. It’s a fat life, too.

Why aren’t big national journalists writing about what’s happening to us—middle American citizens paying for all this nightmare? Answer: Thomas Friedman, Kathleen Parker, Scott Pelley, David Muir, Lester Holt, Wolf Blitzer, Charlie Rose and the rest of them don’t have to live in the mess they refuse to report about.

Within 30 years, it’s not “if”, but at the current rate of legal immigration, it’s a demographic fact that we expect to import 100,000,000 (million) more legal immigrants injected into our country.

But you won’t hear a word about it. Not one single word from the likes of “60 Minutes” or Matt Lauer or Charlie Rose or NPR’s Terry Gross or Robert Siegel. I know because I queried all of them countless times in the past 15 years for an interview of my work and 35 other top experts.

We must flat out demand a national debate on whether or not we want to destroy out country with THAT many people. I am about to create a “Social Media” campaign to invite everyone across the country to write top TV programs to feature interviews on what we face as a civilization. I will be giving addresses and letter templates so everyone can write top shows such as “60 Minutes” at 60M@cbsnews.com. My Facebook page covers all of what we face daily: Frosty Wooldridge

We need to force the leaders of our country into a debate on legal and illegal immigration. Next column will give you instructions. Be ready to send the template and addresses to all your networks.

“Any culture that will not defend itself against displacement through mass immigration faces extinction. That includes both time-tested and successful cultures. Embracing diversity results in cultural suicide. America’s multicultural path guarantees its destruction via cultural clashes and conflict with Islam, Mexican and African cultures that diametrically oppose American culture. The more diverse a country, the more destructive and broken-down its future. The more people, the more it destroys its quality of life and standard of living. The more it adds immigrants, the more destruction to its environment. The more it imports refugees, the faster America, Canada, Europe and Australia lose their own ability to function and worse, their identities. Exponential growth of any civilization leads to ultimate collapse. You see it in Africa, India and China today. You will see it in Europe, Canada, Australia and America in the coming years, “IF” Western countries don’t stop all forms of immigration.“ Frosty Wooldridge, 6 continent world bicycle traveler, witness to what’s coming to Western countries as to endless refugee immigration.

With the presidential race the focus of most of the media attention, a major division among Senate Republicans over so-called “criminal justice reform” has gotten little attention. But the liberal media are now beginning to notice that conservatives are mounting a campaign to stop a piece of legislation that has been advertised as a major part of President Obama’s left-wing legacy.

The Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act (S. 2123) would release thousands of criminals back on the streets at a time of rising crime rates, in the name of reducing what liberals call “mass incarceration.”

In a major story on the new developments, The New York Times noted that the effort to pass the bill “has been driven by an unusual right-left alliance that includes the conservatives Charles G. and David H. Koch and the American Civil Liberties Union,” but that Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has now taken a strong leadership role against the bill.

In fact, the Koch brothers are libertarians, not conservatives.

Cotton told the Times, “I don’t believe we should allow thousands of violent felons to be released early from prison, nor do I believe we should reduce sentences for violent offenders in the future.”

A key development has been a triple murder committed by a convicted crack cocaine dealer who was back on the streets because his prison sentence on drug charges had already been reduced twice. The crimes were committed in Columbus, Ohio, and are now starting to get national media attention.

The Columbus Dispatch (Ohio) reports that Wendell L. Callahan, who is charged with killing his ex-girlfriend and two of her children, twice benefited from changes in federal sentencing guidelines, which reduced his sentence by a total of more than four years. His ex-girlfriend, Erveena Hammonds, 32, and her daughters, Breya Hammonds, 7, and Anaesia Green, 10, were viciously stabbed to death.

The publication Politico cited the triple murder case as a major complicating factor in the effort to pass the bill.

A conservative organization called Americans for Limited Government is leading opposition to the bill, taking issue with Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) for working with Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) to pass the controversial legislation.

The Times said, “Some analysts have suggested that it could help Republicans by broadening their appeal to independents, Democrats and minorities who believe that the criminal justice system is unfairly tilted.”

Cornyn seemed to accept this, telling the paper that Republicans should support the legislation to show that they care about people in prison and want to give them a second chance. “It doesn’t hurt to show that you actually care,” he said. “This is a statement that is not just symbolic, but actually shows that you care about people. It doesn’t hurt to show some empathy.”

Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning countered, “Senator John Cornyn, whose sense of empathy must have developed at Washington, D.C. cocktail parties, should prove he truly cares for people whose neighborhoods have been ravaged by drugs and violent crimes by moving to one of those neighborhoods so he can see for himself the impact of releasing early thousands of hardened drug kingpins and violent criminals back on to the streets of America. Senator Cornyn’s ‘empathetic’ conscience needs to meet the reality of the street, where a 77 percent recidivism rate amongst released prisoners is the norm, with 25 percent of those crimes being violent in nature.”

The alleged killer in the Columbus case was released early from prison because Congress passed the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced sentences for those in prison for dealing crack cocaine and directed the U.S. Sentencing Commission to amend federal sentencing guidelines to let drug dealers out of prison at an earlier date.

President Obama supports the Sentencing Reform and Corrections Act legislation, as do many in the liberal media anxious to see a piece of “bipartisan” legislation pass and become a part of the Obama legacy.

In addition to Senators Cornyn and Lee pushing the Senate bill, Politico had previously reported that House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) wanted the GOP to pass “criminal justice reform” in early 2016, and that he had said, “I think criminal justice reform is probably the biggest [issue] we can make a difference on… There’s a real way forward on that.”

Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning called Ryan’s plan a “risky mass criminal release scheme” that comes at a time when “police are overwhelmed with record murders in cities like Baltimore and Chicago.”

There were 342 murders in Baltimore in 2015, an all-time high. There were 468 murders in Chicago, compared to 416 in 2014.

The U.S. Sentencing Commission had announced in July of 2014 that it was launching a plan to release 46,290 drug offenders from federal prisons.

Obama is already in the process of releasing 6,000 drug dealers from prison in what The New York Times calls “one of the largest discharges of inmates from federal prisons in American history.” Last December he issued 95 commutations, mostly to drug offenders.

On the Columbus Dispatch Facebook page, one citizen commented, “For all of you who thought Prez O [Obama] was so compassionate when he pushed for letting drug dealers out of prison early, well what do you think of Prez Hope and Change now?”

The Columbus Dispatch said that the alleged killer “likely would have been deep into a 12 1/2-year federal prison sentence if sentencing guidelines for convicted crack dealers had remained unchanged.” It added that “The changes to his federal sentence came as part of retroactive attempts by the U.S. Sentencing Commission to rectify sentencing disparities between dealers who sold crack and those who dealt powdered cocaine.”

A local citizen wrote to the paper to note, “Hammonds and her daughters should be living examples of how harsh sentences against drug dealers and violent criminals protect our welfare. Instead, they’ll be laid to rest as examples of a broken system.”

Despite the murders, liberal pressure groups are demanding that the Senate Republican majority pass S. 2123. In a release headlined, “Civil and Human Rights Coalition Urges Senate Republicans to Stay the Course on Sentencing Reform in 2016,” Wade Henderson, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, referred to “recent reports” about divisions among Senate Republicans and urged the Senate GOP conference “to stay the course on passing a sentencing reform package in 2016.” The Senate Republican Conference is the organization of Republican members in the U.S. Senate and is chaired by Senator John Thune of South Dakota. Thune has been quoted as saying that criminal justice reform has a “better than 50/50” shot of passing Congress and reaching Obama’s desk.

“The window of opportunity is here,” said Henderson. He claimed passage of the “bipartisan bill” and Obama’s willingness to sign it into law “is a rare chance to show the country that Washington can both reduce the size of government and protect its citizens all at once.”

The phrase “reducing the size of government” means cutting the cost of prisons. But the idea of “protecting” people by releasing criminals doesn’t make a lot of sense to law-and-order conservatives and the public at-large.

While a number of constitutional scholars are challenging the “natural born” citizenship of several GOP presidential candidates and the GOP neo-cons are once again doing their best to cause divisions in the GOP by attacking Donald Trump, and then there are Hillary’s e-mail scandal and all the time the United Nations environmental crowd is working diligently to eliminate the middle class saying anthropogenic (man-made) pollution with their gas guzzling driving machines is producing global warming (AGW) so the UN must shackle the planet to “save” It.

WHY MANY REPUBLICANS HAVE EMPATHY FOR DONALD TRUM

Donald Trump is popular because of the many times the same scallywags trying to demonize and set him up have done likewise to county and/or state GOP activists who now have great empathy for Donald and pray for his safety because they, too, have been treated likewise only on a smaller scale, perhaps.

GET US OUT OF THE UNITED NATIONS

The 2016 Presidential election is simply another distraction from the redistribution of wealth goal by the U.N. One World Elitists Group. And have we heard one presidential candidate in either party announcing we should get out of the mostly communist controlled United Nations which is costing the U.S. taxpayers more than one-fifth of the U.N. Budget?[1] The 2013-2015 U.N. budget was $5.4 billion and the U.S. has accounted for 22 percent of the total regular budget every year since 2000.The headquarters of the United Nations property in New York City was originally a slaughterhouse before globalist John D. Rockfeller donated the land to the city.

PLEASE UN – LEAVE US BEHIND

“As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind,” reads the UN Manifesto, entitled Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. But if you love liberty, self-government, free markets, or the U.S. Constitution, you will almost certainly wish that the UN would leave you behind,” said Alex Newman in his article: UN Agenda 2030: A recipe for Global Socialism. The preamble even claims the UN goals will “free the human race from the tyranny of poverty” and “heal” the planet, or as the planet is also referred to in the document, “Mother Earth.” Not – so subtly purporting to usurp the role of God, the UN even claims that the “future of humanity and of our planet lies in our Hands.”[2]

“The new agenda is a promise by leaders to all people everywhere…presumably conflating ‘leaders’ with mass-murdering gangsters such as Kim Jong-un, Raul Castro, Robert Mugabe and other despots who hold great sway with most of the regimes comprising the UN,” says Newman. It’s a universal, integrated and transformative vision for a better world just like the Utopia the Owenites/Harvard/Unitarians dreamed about in the 19th century who said man was basically good while the Calvinists were declaring mankind was depraved and in need of a Savior. To create this Utopia, a process called Smart Growth or “visioning” is implemented. In order to pull this charade off, they needed the children early and in public schools.

THE STORY OF CAIN AND ABEL

Let me use the illustration of Cain and Abel in Heb. 11:4. A great many people today think that environment is what makes the real difference between men. They say if you can just make the environment Politically Correct, every person would be all right. If we could just get rid of the slums and put people into nice homes, then the people would be nice also and this, of course, is what President Obama is already proposing as described in the DeWeese article above about Utopia.

THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG

Ottmar Edenhofer, who from 2008 to 2015 was a co-chair of the UN”s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group III on “Mitigation of Climate Change,” said that the AGW is all about politics masquerading under a false label of science. He should know because he is also deputy director and chief economist of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, one of the major tax-supported climate think tanks providing the World Bank with pseudo-scientific studies to justify confiscating the wealth of the planet in the name of saving nature; however, now that the cat is out of the bag we learn the real goal has nothing to do with saving the environment and is totally aimed at redistributing the wealth of the planet – from the middle classes to the ruling classes.[2]

UNITED NATIONS NEEDS CHAOS AND DISTRACTIONS

Governments and dictators from around the world have agreed to a “climate” deal dubbed the Paris Agreement. And to what do we have to look forward? In 1965, Democrat president Lyndon Johnson signed into law the “Immigration Reform Act…” which overturned America’s traditional immigration policy and replaced it with the most liberal, “easy-access” immigration policy in our history. And now we learn the founder of FOX News, Rupert Murdoch is co-chair of what is arguably one of the most powerful immigration lobbying firms in the country, the Partnership for a New American Economy (PNAE) consisting of progressive mayors, executives from large corporations and the Chamber of Commerce and they lobby Congress to open the flood gates for more immigrants. Once again, business craving cheap labor and forgetting about the welfare of the community so the Trump campaign is a direct threat to Murdoch’s efforts to open America’s borders.

The UN agreement aims to restructure the global economy, phase out cheap and abundant energy over the coming decades, redistribute the wealth of Western taxpayers to Third World regimes, and empower the UN to oversee a planetary “climate” regime that would require comprehensive monitoring and tracking of emissions across the West, as well as huge reduction in emissions.

And who will suffer the brunt of the regulations: The Western governments, of course. While the Third World governments will receive bonus points for denying their subjects access to resources. Western governments will be required to fund expensive and unreliable “green” energy projects that can’t find adequate private funding. Let’s not forget: The Republicans held power for 12 years and they did nothing about the energy problem that would only get worse. Readers will remember earlier bad investments at the behest of President Obama. One, of course, was Solyndra which supposedly produced an innovative new type of solar cell using U.S. tax dollars before going bankrupt. The owners were Obama’s cronies. And then there was Obama’s idea: Cash for Clunkers.

AND MORE ORECHESTRATED DISTRACTIONS WITH HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON

As I draft this article Ammon Bundy and his family is pleading for the occupiers to ”stand down” and go home to their families. He’s in jail with 8 others while four at the Malheur compound remain vigilant. A community candle light service was held honoring the spokesman, Robert “LaVoy” Finicum who was shot and killed along Oregon Highway 395 near milepost 50 in Harney County on 1/26/2016. The complete, unedited video of Joint FBI and OSP operation on 1/26/2016 can be seen here.

IT ALL STARTED WITH UNCONSTITUTIONAL INTERFERENCE BY GOVERNMENT

From my Prehistoric Googling files, I have some old articles that tell of unemployment in Harney County in 1985 as looking very bleak with the outlook uncertain. While there were job gains in many industries, the increase did not measure up to 10-year averages. And, once again, the only services that increased more than average were state government and local government jobs – more cronyism. The area’s non-farm wage and salary employment index- considered one of the agency‘s most reliable economic indicators- actually declined from 108.5 in April to 107.9 in May.

In 1991 the Oregon legislature was allocating funds to have dislocated workers retrained, moved to the cities to live in high rise apartments like cattle where few residents have cars and the cars you see on the roads are electric vehicles. In fact, large parts of many cities are designated as “car-free” areas. Most people, therefore, walk, ride bicycles or use public transportation to get around during the day. People who live in these designed urban areas are called “megaregions.”

And then the 9/22/1992 headline reads: Harney County joblessness takes a turn for the worse and Oregon counties and schools were going to lose $45 million a year from timber receipts due to the Spotted Owl being put on the endangered list shutting down the forest industry. The current 2015-16 Oregon Blue Book says Harney County’s economy is forest products, manufacturing, livestock and agriculture. What isn’t mentioned, however, is how the United Nations wacko environmentalists once again used distorted science and the spotted owl to close down the timber industry and the same thing is happening in Harney County with the cattle ranchers. Beginning in the mid 80s, 1.2 million acres of old growth forest was being preserved to protect 550 pair of spotted owls at a cost to the Pacific Northwest of $2 billion to $5 billion and between 760 and 1,330 jobs in the forest products industry. The Malheur Wildlife preserve is for the “birdies,” people who come to worship them.

OWL AMONG SACRED BIRDS

The 2005 book Hidden Secrets of the Alpha Course said originally the owl was the symbol of the Canaanite sun-god Molech, mentioned in the Bible. Today, the owl is one of the emblems of the Illuminati. For over 128 years world-wide leaders participate in the Bohemian Grove festivities in the woods the last two weeks in July 65 miles north of San Francisco for Satanic Rituals- their mascot burned in effigy to an owl god (Moloch).

Isn’t it interesting how so much of what is happening today seems to be occultic. The timber industry shut down to protect the owl. Abortions and Planned Parenthood are mentioned in Jeremiah 32:35 where their sons and their daughters had to pass through the fire into Molech. The videos that went viral about Planned Parenthood selling aborted baby body parts was just another distraction which brings us currently to the protesters in Eastern Oregon at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that has attracted worldwide attention. This so-called “siege” is simply a carry-over from the showdown on the range that began in 2014 at the Bundy ranch in Nevada that was once again, clouded by deliberate misinformation from government officials and the media.

AND WHERE WAS THE SHERIFF TO PROTECT THE HAMMONDS?

In an article on 1/25/2016 CONSTITUTIONAL SHAKEDOWN in Harney County, Oregon by John Davis, we find that David Ward, the sheriff it turns out, used to work for the BLM and testified against the Hammonds regarding the fires. And for the full story about what is going on in Eastern Oregon, check this out.

The international press seems to be covering the Malheur standoff sufficiently. But have you read it appears the Bundy and Hammond ranches may have rich uranium deposits which BLM desperately wants? [Link]

VETERANS STAND IN SOLIDARITY

Testimonies of others who had their land taken by the same means tell of their abuse and how they’ve lost everything, so Jon Ritzheimer, a former marine, veteran of the Iraq war from Lakeside, California wanted to go to Harney County to stand with the patriots in solidarity. Before leaving, he made a video for his wife and 3 and 5 year old daughters saying,” I love you but your daddy swore on oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and that’s why he couldn’t be with you on Christmas nor why he can’t be with you on New Years. The oppression and tyranny that has taken place in Oregon we know it is taking place all across the U.S. The Bundy ranch was the prime example and we, the people, need to take a stand and no matter what happens, no matter what lives are pushed out, just know that I stood for something. Don’t let it die in vain.”

Micahel Medved, a Seattle radio station talk show host, seemed perplexed that these militants, as the media calls them, are trying to take over this public property which is used by hikers, hunters, boaters and people who are birdies, people who come to watch the birdies. The words highlighted are the same words that a “crisis actor” at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge spoke to the cameras. The following is self-explanatory. Please remember neo-con Medved’s name was on the recently published National Review list against Trump.

TWO PARTY SYSTEM ANOTHER HOAX LIKE OBAMA’S PRESIDENCY

Our two-party system leaves a great deal to be desired from our Constitutional Republic. What we have today is U.S. administrative government – form of Communism. The two parties are a constant form of distraction, a sideshow designed to grab and keep our attention by producing a lot of “heated” debate that accomplishes nothing. And short of divine intervention, there is the upcoming farce called an “election” that will show America is a one-party state. Both Democrats and Republicans work for the agenda of the Illuminati.

The study of homicide statistics is a morbid undertaking, because the analyst is dealing with numbers that represent real people who were homicide victims.
So why pore over such statistics? It’s the hope that the discovery of patterns and trends might help in the reduction of homicides.

There are various ways to crunch the numbers. You can compare and contrast homicide rates by country or by divisions within a country. (See Looking at Mexico’s Latest Homicide Stats and those of others in the Americas).

Another way is to list the statistics by city.

A Mexican NGO called the Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pública y Justicia Penal, A.C. (Citizen Council for Public Security and Penal Justice), whose president is Jose Antonio Ortega Sanchez, released a list of the world’s 50 cities with the highest homicide rates in 2015.

In order to be on the list, the city must have at least 300,000 inhabitants. The ranking is based on homicide rates calculated per 100,000 inhabitants. (Cities in war zones are not included in the ranking).

Of the 50 most murderous cities, 41 are in Latin America. (In last year’s list, 47 were).

The country with the most cities on the “Top Fifty” list was Brazil, with 21, which is up from 19 last year’s.

Venezuela was in second place with 8 cities on the list (double from 4 last year). Mexico was in third place with five of the world’s most murderous cities, which is half of last year’s Mexican city tally of ten.

The United States and South Africa were tied at four cities each, followed by Colombia with 3, Honduras with 2 and El Salvador, Guatemala and Jamaica with 1 city apiece.

Caracas, Venezuela, was the world’s murder capital with a rate of 119.87 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

Caracas replaced San Pedro Sula, which had been the world’s murder capital for four years straight. In this year’s tally, San Pedro Sula is in second place with a homicide rate of 111.03 per 100,000.

The third most murderous city was San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, with a homicide rate of 108.54 per 100,000. That’s not much higher than the murder rate for the whole country of El Salvador, 103 per 100,000.

The fourth most murderous city, and Mexico’s highest ranked city , is Acapulco, on the Pacific Coast, with 104.73 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.

Maturin, Venezuela was #5; followed by Tegucigalpa Distrito Central, Honduras at #6; Valencia, Venezuela at #7; Palmira, Colombia at #8; Cape Town, South Africa at #9 and Cali, Colombia at #10.

Mexico has five cities on the Top 50 list:

1. Just as last year, Acapulco was the Mexican city with the highest homicide rate, #4 on the list, with a murder rate of 104.73 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants.
2. Just as last year, the second most murderous city in Mexico was Culiacan, capital of the western state of Sinaloa. Culiacan was #17 on the world list, with 56.09 homicides per 100,000, an increase from 42 per 100,000 last year.
3. The border city of Tijuana was #3 in Mexico, and #35 on the world list, with a homicide rate of 39.09 per 100,000.
4. In 46th place on the world list was Ciudad Victoria, capital of the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, with a homicide rate of 30.50 per 100,000.
5. The fiftieth most murderous city on the Top Fifty list was Ciudad Obregon, in the northern state of Sonora. It had a homicide rate of 28.29 per 100,000.

Five Mexican cities dropped off the Top Fifty list this year: Chihuahua, Cuernavaca, Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Torreon.

As for the United States of America, it has four cities on the list: They are:

1. St. Louis, Missouri, #15 worldwide, with a homicide rate of 59.23 per 100,000.
2. Baltimore, Maryland, #19, with a homicide rate of 54.98.
3. Detroit, Michigan, #28, with a rate of 43.89.
4. New Orleans, #32, with a homicide rate of 41.44.

Note that St. Louis has a higher homicide rate than any city in Mexico with the exception of Acapulco.

As for Baltimore, Detroit and New Orleans, each has a higher homicide rate than any city in Mexico except for Acapulco and Culiacan.

Fox’s Megyn Kelly has raised the visibility of a dispute between the families of those slain at Benghazi and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton concerning what Clinton told those families on September 14, 2012. According to four different relatives of those slain, including those who attended the Joint Base Andrews’ Transfer of Remains Ceremony for the return of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other slain Benghazi embassy employees, Secretary Clinton assured the families that she would have the “filmmaker responsible for the deaths arrested,” feeding into a narrative Hillary Clinton knew then to be false: that the Benghazi attacks were the result of a spontaneous uprising in response to an anti-Muslim video rather than a terrorist attack on the embassy compound. The father of Ty Woods, slain at Benghazi, kept a contemporaneous journal in which he quoted Clinton’s statement: “We are going to have the filmmaker arrested who was responsible for the death of your son.”

Assembling all of the facts, it now appears clear that Secretary Clinton endeavored to misdirect the public to avoid accountability for her own dereliction of duty and engaged in an extensive cover-up which persists to this day. She failed to call on Secretary Panetta to dispatch the military in an immediate defense of the besieged embassy compound, and she failed to heed the repeated calls weeks before from Ambassador Stevens to reinforce the compound in light of a clear and present threat to the compound posed by Ansar al-Sharia terrorists. Instead of admitting the derelictions and taking responsibility for them, she propounded a false narrative, callously, indeed heartlessly, communicating that falsehood even to the families of the brave men who died on September 11, 2012, in Benghazi.

The film 13 Hours adds more to this picture, as Megyn Kelly adduced directly from the heroic American soldiers whose story is told in that film. Those soldiers were stationed at The Annex, a CIA facility a mile and a half away from the embassy compound. In The Kelly File interview with three of the five surviving soldiers who were stationed at The Annex, Mark “Oz” Geist (former Marine), John “Tig” Tiegen (former Marine), and Kris “Tanto” Paronto (ex-Army Ranger), each stated that they had received a “stand down” order from their superior, the CIA Chief in the region, that delayed their intervention for thirty minutes despite desperate calls from the compound for help. In the end, the three soldiers say they violated the stand down order and proceeded with a counteroffensive, but it was too late for Ambassador Stevens and the other Americans slain in the embassy compound. The CIA Chief, whose identity has not been released, is adamant that he never gave the “stand down” order.

It is beyond doubt, however, that the claim that the attack was a spontaneous uprising to an anti-Muslim video is a complete fabrication, one that deflected attention away from the real source of the attack, Ansar al-Sharia terrorists fulfilling threats repeatedly made that they would kill Americans in Libya (a fact well known to Ambassador Stevens who called for greater security for weeks prior to the attack). There can be but one motive for the fabrication, to avoid scrutiny of the handling of the affair by government officials and, in particular, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

It is beyond doubt that Hillary Clinton emailed her daughter Chelsea the very night of the attack on the Benghazi compound, Tuesday, September 11, 2012, stating that the attacks were undertaken by an “Al Queda-type group.” That same night the State Department issued a public statement, under Secretary Clinton’s own name, wherein it identified as the source not the Al-Qaeda group Clinton mentioned to Chelsea, but a spontaneous uprising to an anti-Muslim video. The State Department’s schedule reveals that three days later, on the morning of September 14, 2012 (the very same day Hillary Clinton met with the families of the slain at Andrews), Clinton met with U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice preceding Rice’s media tour on Clinton’s behalf that coming Sunday. Two days thereafter, Rice appeared on the Sunday talk shows, restating Clinton’s official statement that the attack was the result of a spontaneous uprising to an anti-Muslim video, leading the media away from the view that the event was a terrorist attack.

It is beyond doubt that within an hour of the start of the attack, U.S. military, the U.S. intelligence community, and the Libyan government knew the attack to be from a hostile, well-armed force, involving heavy munitions. Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell, who was at the time in command in the region, confirmed in testimony before Trey Gowdy’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform that “we did know early on . . . that this was a hostile action” against the embassy compound and that “this was no demonstration gone terribly awry.” The demonstration idea was thus a fabrication, a story concocted to direct attention away from the true source of the attack.

It is beyond doubt that the military had a drone overhead in the immediate vicinity of Benghazi, receiving active intelligence. In his testimony General Lovell confirmed that the military did not respond immediately because they had not received a request for assistance from the State Department, a request that was never timely given. Perhaps because of the absence of that request or a failure of Secretary Clinton to coordinate with then Defense Secretary Panetta, tactical response teams were not dispatched expeditiously. The military could have scrambled F-16s from Aviano Air Base in Northern Italy to Benghazi, but the order for that dispatch did not timely come. F-16s can fly from Aviano to Benghazi (a distance of 3,609 km) within 1.5 hours. Had they been scrambled from Aviano at the start of the attack, they could have fired upon the attackers and driven them off, perhaps sparing the lives of some embassy personnel and certainly former Navy Seals Ty Woods and Glen Doherty who were dispatched from Tripoli to Benghazi. Bogged down at the Benghazi airport, Woods and Doherty were unable to make it to the compound until hours after Ambassador Stevens had been killed and his body removed to a hospital. Shortly after Woods and Doherty arrived at the compound they were killed by mortar fire from the terrorists.

The sum of this evidence is a damning indictment of Secretary Clinton, the Clinton State Department, and the Obama White House. The evidence points to Hillary Clinton as the primary promoter of the anti-Muslim video explanation, despite the fact that she knew at the time she promoted that narrative that it was false and misleading. We know that on the very day of the attack, she met with Ambassador Rice after which Rice recommunicated the false narrative to the media on the Sunday talk shows. On the very day that Clinton met with Rice, she met with the four families and, at that time, it was the State Department narrative, under her own name, that the attack was a response to an anti-Muslim video. It thus comes as no surprise, then, that the families would be told that narrative by Secretary Clinton. Indeed, had she not told them the narrative, it was nevertheless her position vis-à-vis the State Department official statement that the source of the attack was an anti-Muslim video. Thus, it would have been extraordinary for her to deviate from that narrative when speaking to the families, and, in any event, she lied to them, as she did to the public, through the official statement.

Why would Clinton lie to the public and even to the families of the slain Americans on the very day they and the nation received the coffins of those families’ deceased loved ones? Why would she condone the statement by Ambassador Rice on the Sunday talk shows reiterating the false narrative? The answer appears unmistakable at this point. She must have feared that revelation of the fact that this was a terrorist attack would invariably lead to greater inquiry into why the State Department did not authorize the reinforcement of the Benghazi compound and why she had not acted promptly to request military assistance at the start of the attack. No doubt fearing blame for the derelictions of duty that left Ambassador Stevens and the embassy staff virtually defenseless against an attack, Secretary of State Clinton agreed to the false narrative.

Although there are many reasons why Hillary Clinton is unfit to be President of the United States, not least of which involves her unlawful mishandling of classified information and her comingling of Clinton Foundation and State Department functions, the failure to secure the lives of Americans under her watch despite repeated calls for help and despite urgent demands for intervention the night of September 11, constitute proof positive that she cannot be trusted with the awesome responsibility of protecting Americans lives as Commander-in-Chief.

We have a right to expect public officials not to lie to us. We have a right to expect that those given power that affects the lives of Americans will use that power judiciously to protect those lives. We have a right to expect leaders of this country to be held responsible for gross negligence and derelictions of duty that result in the loss of life. Hillary Clinton has escaped all of this so far, but I doubt she will escape the ultimate wrath of the American people. If she achieves the extraordinary by escaping a federal indictment for mishandling classified information and for public corruption, the misdeeds of her past will come home to roost in the general election if not sooner.
