It’s the mother of all boners. Barack Obama gambled the future of the US oil supply on Brazil.

He lost. China kicked his butt.

In March Barack Obama put on his best groveling suit (you know, the same one he wore when genuflecting to the Saudi King) and went off to Brazil looking for foreign oil. The schtick was thick:

Obama started by saying that being in Brazil was a great joy, and thanking his hosts on behalf of his wife Michelle and family for the warm welcome they received.

The US president said it was a pity that he had to come only days after the Carnival but: “my only regret is that we missed the party by coming a few weeks after Carnival. Maybe that’s the best — since I’m not sure I would have had the same level of productivity from my staff”.

While emphasizing US weaknesses, he promised the US would be Brazil’s best customer:

Obama also spoke about energy. “The oil you recently discovered off the shores of Brazil could amount to twice the reserves we have in the United States”, he said, adding that the US want to help Brazil with the technology needed to extract it and, when Brazil is ready to begin selling the commodity, “we want to be one of your best customers”.

That is not to be. Brazil blew off Obama for China instead:

BUENOS AIRES — Off the coast of Rio de Janeiro — below a mile of water and two miles of shifting rock, sand and salt — is an ultradeep sea of oil that could turn Brazil into the world’s fourth-largest oil producer, behind Russia, Saudi Arabia and the United States.

The country’s state-controlled oil company, Petrobras, expects to pump 4.9 million barrels a day from the country’s oil fields by 2020, with 40 percent of that coming from the seabed. One and a half million barrels will be bound for export markets.

The United States wants it, but China is getting it.

Less than a month after President Obama visited Brazil in March to make a pitch for oil, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was off to Beijing to sign oil contracts with two huge state-owned Chinese companies.

The deals are part of a growing oil relationship between the two countries that, thanks to a series of billion-dollar agreements, is giving China greater influence over Brazil’s oil frontier.

Apparently deciding that the US needed neither the oil nor the jobs, Barack Obama rejected the Keystone Pipeline.

President Barack Obama’s decision yesterday to reject a permit for TransCanada Corp.’s Keystone XL oil pipeline may prompt Canada to turn to China for oil exports.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper, in a telephone call yesterday, told Obama “Canada will continue to work to diversify its energy exports,” according to details provided by Harper’s office. Canadian Natural Resource Minister Joe Oliver said relying less on the U.S. would help strengthen the country’s “financial security.”

The “decision by the Obama administration underlines the importance of diversifying and expanding our markets, including the growing Asian market,” Oliver told reporters in Ottawa.

Once more, China will be the beneficiary.

Obama is strangling domestic oil exploration with bans and moratoriums pretty much everywhere in the US and at the same time is pouring billions of US tax dollars down the toilet on failed “green energy” projects for his top donors. Then in liquidation Obama made sure his donors got their money before us taxpayers.

No energy, no jobs, no oil. Barack Obama does seem determined to lead the United States into becoming a third world nation while making certain China prospers.

Change is….absolutely necessary.

Whose side is he on? I have already posed that question.

It’s not enough that Barack Obama gives away British missile secrets to the Russians:

The US secretly agreed to give the Russians sensitive information on Britain’s nuclear deterrent to persuade them to sign a key treaty, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Information about every Trident missile the US supplies to Britain will be given to Russia as part of an arms control deal signed by President Barack Obama next week.

Defence analysts claim the agreement risks undermining Britain’s policy of refusing to confirm the exact size of its nuclear arsenal.

The fact that the Americans used British nuclear secrets as a bargaining chip also sheds new light on the so-called “special relationship”, which is shown often to be a one-sided affair by US diplomatic communications obtained by the WikiLeaks website.

Now Obama seems bent on weakening our national defenses to the point of uselessness.

President Obama signaled Congress this week that he is prepared to share U.S. missile defense secrets with Russia.

In the president’s signing statement issued Saturday in passing into law the fiscal 2012 defense authorization bill, Mr. Obama said restrictions aimed at protecting top-secret technical data on U.S. Standard Missile-3 velocity burnout parameters might impinge on his constitutional foreign policy authority.

As first disclosed in this space several weeks ago, U.S. officials are planning to provide Moscow with the SM-3 data, despite reservations from security officials who say that doing so could compromise the effectiveness of the system by allowing Russian weapons technicians to counter the missile. The weapons are considered some of the most effective high-speed interceptors in the U.S. missile defense arsenal.

There are also concerns that Russia could share the secret data with China and rogue states such as Iran and North Korea to help their missile programs defeat U.S. missile defense.

Congress tried to stop him

Section 1227 of the defense law prohibits spending any funds that would be used to give Russian officials access to sensitive missile-defense technology, as part of a cooperation agreement without first sending Congress a report identifying the specific secrets, how they would be used and steps to protect the data from compromise.

but Obama has let it be known that he will have no part of anyone preventing him from giving away defense intelligence:

Mr. Obama said in the signing statement that he would treat the legal restrictions as “non-binding.”

“While my administration intends to keep the Congress fully informed of the status of U.S. efforts to cooperate with the Russian Federation on ballistic missile defense, my administration will also interpret and implement section 1244 in a manner that does not interfere with the president’s constitutional authority to conduct foreign affairs and avoids the undue disclosure of sensitive diplomatic communications.”

Apparently nostalgic for another massive breach of national security Barack Obama wants to arrange another Chinese nuclear scientist exchange:

Deputy Energy Secretary Daniel B. Poneman is working on a major Obama administration initiative that would renew scientist exchanges between U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories and Chinese nuclear facilities.

The idea is aimed at promoting openness and transparency by China’s military about its secret, large-scale buildup of nuclear weapons, according to U.S. officials.

Critics say the plan is similar to an exchange program in the 1990s that sent U.S. nuclear scientists to China and produced one of the worst cases of nuclear espionage. Secrets about every deployed warhead in the U.S. arsenal were compromised, including the W-88 small nuclear warhead deployed on submarine-launched missiles.

“We’ve seen this movie before, and it has a bad ending,” one official said.

Unlike Obama, the Chinese are resisting, recognizing the value of secrecy.

Chinese officials repeatedly have rejected U.S. calls for strategic nuclear talks, most recently in January during the visit there by then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates.

A 2008 State Department cable quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry official He Yafei as rejecting U.S. appeals for Chinese nuclear transparency, noting that openness “would eliminate the value of China’s strategic deterrent.”

How ironic that the President who wants to help prosecute the leaker of the climategate emails himself is so willing to leak national security secrets on his own.

It is no longer simply a good idea to change Presidents. It is absolutely imperative. Without such a change, we have no hope.

Keith Koffler has let us know that Barack Obama is taking 2012 off from Congress:

“In terms of the president’s relationship with Congress in 2012,” Mr. Earnest said at a briefing, “the president is no longer tied to Washington, DC”

Obama has decided that being President is simply not good enough and has appointed himself King.

But when Congress refuses to act, and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk, then I have an obligation as President to do what I can without them. I’ve got an obligation to act on behalf of the American people. And I’m not going to stand by while a minority in the Senate puts party ideology ahead of the people that we were elected to serve. Not with so much at stake, not at this make-or-break moment for middle-class Americans. We’re not going to let that happen.

No you don’t, sparky. James Madison, Federalist 47:

“When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person or body,” says he, “there can be no liberty, because apprehensions may arise lest the same monarch or senate should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner.”

Some of my fellow authors here tend to dismiss my concerns of the abuse of power by Obama, but I am undeterred. Not long ago Obama said this

“Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting. I promise you not just on immigration reform. But that’s not how our system works,”

Paging Jim Geraghty!

Nothing Barack Obama says at any time has any meaningfulness or durability. Nothing.

As my son points out to me- if Obama is this brash in his first term, what would a second term bring???

Blog contained threats of violence like ‘I want [Muslim] blood on my hands’

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that an anti-Muslim Internet hate site that contained a number of threats of violence targeting mosques, including the comment “I want [Muslim] blood on my hands,” has been taken down by its hosting company.

CAIR said visitors to “Bare Naked Islam,” hosted by WordPress.com, now see the message: “barenakedislam.wordpress.com is no longer available. This blog has been archived or suspended for a violation of our Terms of Service.”

[NOTE: "Bare Naked Islam" was one of the major promoters of the campaign to pressure Lowe's to drops its ads from TLC's "All-American Muslim."]

Last month, CAIR called on the FBI to investigate the threats of violence targeting mosques posted on the blog and urged WordPress.com to remove it for violating the hosting company’s terms of service (TOS), which prohibit blogs that “contain threats or incite violence towards individuals or entities.” Articles and comments posted on “Bare Naked Islam” urged attacks on and desecration of American and European mosques.

Glenn Reynolds:

“Shame on WordPress for giving in”

and he points out CAIR’s connections to terrorism.

Shame on WordPress indeed. The Religion of Perpetual Umbrage chips away at the Constitution of the United States with the cooperation of its victims. This also appears to be part of a larger effort to take on Lowe’s for dropping its TLC sponsorship.

Even though CAIR has a history of fabricating hate crimes one can expect the Hamas-linked organization to continue its efforts to Islamify the United States. It’s next most recent achievement is to force the JROTC to allow the wearing of Islamic headwear while in uniform . Meanwhile we kuffar still are threatened with incarceration for using the words “join in prayer,” “bow their heads,” “amen,” and “prayer,” “invocation” and “benediction” during school events.

Expect more of this in the future.

Karl Marx has indigestion; Cuba has just announced the imposition of private property rights and a citizen’s right to sell and buy real estate.

Fidel and Raul Castro have maintained the most classical example of Marxism in the world for over 50 years: consequently, the Cuban people live in abject poverty under totalitarian rule, while their leaders enjoy wealth, opulence, and outrageous personal economic portfolios so typical of iron fisted thugs ruling over a Socialist dystopia.

Raul Castro, brother of Fidel, is the strongman of Cuba, ever since his brother went into semi-retirement, due to failing health. Raul has just opened up the small island country to its first glimpse of private property and a market economy since the revolution. This latest move offers a degree of hope to the poverty stricken people of Cuba, who hope to reshape and modernize this country that has suffered such tremendous hardship and poverty under Socialism.

The law becomes effective on November 10, it will allow Cubans to set their own prices and to move at their own discretion. These are major deviations from the strict Socialism that the dilettantes of the OWS movement are pleading for, while they take time out from their expensive educations, preparing for degrees that should be considered hobbies rather than career enhancements. How ironic, Cubans are celebrating their first glimpse of a free market and a free society, the very thing the OWS crowd wants to throw away in their hunger for Wealth Redistribution. Cubans have another disadvantage over the OWS Mob: no one remembers who actually owns anything or the procedures for selling or buying real estate.

There will still be strong vestiges of central control. Financing must go through Cuba’s Central Bank, there will be fees charged, fees that are yet to be determined, and there will be an 8% tax to be split equally between the seller and buyer. A move that will reassure the Socialist hearts of our own leaders. Cubans will be limited to two homes; this rule does not apply to dictators, the Castro brothers already own multiple dwellings. Obama will surely be relieved to hear that the rules don’t apply to dictators.

The earlier freedoms of opening a small business and private agriculture failed to invigorate the Cuba’s comatose economy. Some economists attribute this to a lack of capital and poor central planning; however, people who have been born under the iron fist of Marxism with state control of every facet of their life are probably fearful that success will eventually be punished and appropriated by the state. There is also the natural psychological fear of a repressive state for the entrepreneur; why should he risk his personal capital, while living in fear of a totalitarian state that can regulate your business out of existence.

Obama is perplexed by American capitalists and their reluctance to start or expand their business holdings; yet, he has forgotten about liquidating the General Motors dealerships that were not contributors to his campaign.

The Cuban economy will be slow to start, for the same reason the American economy refuses to start, the people with the capital to invest, just don’t trust the overbearing leadership.

These High-end Condos Are Expected To Sell Within A Few Hours

This is the latest popular image that seems to be making its rounds amongst my liberal friends on Facebook…

Conquests and Cultures:

Another cliché among the American chattering class is that the European discovery of the Western hemisphere was an unmitigated disaster for the native peoples. Columbus Day is now an occasion for mourning and self-flagellation. But, Sowell points out, there were benefits as well as costs. Diseases that ravaged the natives were spread by whites—ruthless conquistador and benevolent missionary alike—but so was the ability to combat all disease. Liquor led to much drunkenness, but European manufactured goods, such as cloth, were superior to the products the Indians could produce themselves, and they gladly traded to get them. There certainly was inexcusable brutality against the Indians, but, given the degree of brutality that had existed among Indians for centuries, establishing the Western idea of the rule of law undoubtedly reduced the prevalence of violence in the long run.

The fact that cultural contact gave some benefits to the Indians is no justification for forced resettlements, reneging on treaties, or massacres. Sowell makes no such argument. He merely observes that history is a very mixed bag of causes and effects.

It’s no longer politically correct, and hasn’t been for decades, but…Happy Columbus Day!

In fairness, Columbus was an exceptional sailor and entrepreneur who was obsessed, as so many were at the time, with finding a quicker and more cost-effective route from Europe to China and India. He bumped into America because it was in the way.

So Columbus’ motivation was self-interest. He did not explore to improve humanity, but he didn’t do it to inflict catastrophe either.

I’m not even sure why we celebrate/recognize Columbus Day at all since it only peripherally has anything at all remotely to do with North America…

The OWS Is A Celebration Of The Ongoing Train Wreck Of The Obama Presidency

In a cartoonish caricature of himself, columnist Paul Krugman, of the NYT, has written a rambling and unfocused apology for the incoherence of the Occupy Wall Street comedy, in a lame attempt to steal the energy of the mindless mob. Borrowing the first two lines from a popular 1967 song, by Stills of Buffalo Springfield, Krugman begins his clownish attempt of a unifying message for the mob by clumsily injecting his personal prejudices in a vague but obvious method, thereby parroting a nonexistent voice of leadership to the rebellion without direction, by offering some helpful if flaccid finger pointing.

There’s something happening here. What it is ain’t exactly clear, but we may, at long last, be seeing the rise of a popular movement that, unlike the Tea Party, is angry at the right people.

By employing the first line of the first verse, as his opening sentence, Krugman accomplished considerably more than in the entirety of his uninspiring article. The first sentence reads, “There’s something happening here”; indeed, there is the potential for a mob, a mob without direction or intellect to guide it in a particular direction. A point illustrated by the second line of the song and this phrase of the second sentence, “What it is ain’t exactly clear,” this was the high watermark of Krugman’s article and with a nice closing sentence, it could have been considered a great article. For the true purpose of the OWS movement and of Krugman “ain’t exactly clear” isn’t exactly clear, except for the efforts of the Left to co-opt a movement without a message as a populist movement of their own to counter the concise and effective message of the TEA Party.

Paranoia strikes deep and it is hard to counter a message that resonates clearly with the public and cuts dangerously close to the corrupt and incompetent heart of the Democrat movement like a razor sharp blade between the ribs working ever closer to that same heart.

If we analyze that first verse further, we see why Krugman pulled up early with his metaphor: “I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down.” While the first two lines were an alliteration of Krugman’s covert premise, the last two lines illustrate the pathetic and impotent nature of a movement without direction.

There’s something happening here.
What it is ain’t exactly clear.
There’s a man with a gun over there,
Telling me I got to beware.
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down.

The most glaring inconsistency of the OWS mob is not that they fail to note the corruption and greed of Wall Street, no they are obviously upset with the corruption of Wall Street, but they fail to note the symbiotic relationship of that same greed and corruption of Wall Street with Obama, the messiah of Socialism. Of course Obama campaigned on a platform of ending this corruption and of correcting the injustices inflicted upon the common man, but remember, he sends young people text messages when the elections are on the horizon, a real reason to vote for the man.

The second verse could have been used more effectively by Krugman, but we are here to bury him not to help him. For “There’s battle lines being drawn;” unfortunately, when we look at the overwhelming whining of the young protesters, the common complaint of oppressive student loans comes through quite clearly.

Now why are there problems with student loans? Sympathy from a man who worked as a welder at night and a horse shoer on weekends to go to college during the week won’t be forthcoming, for he who has seen the carefree attitude of the non-disciplined college student who wasted time and money on degrees that benefited no one in particular and can be contemptuous of those who have time and resources to attend protests during college as if they were rock concerts.

Yet, people stand in line to attend college, partially to avoid responsibility, adulthood, and that ever looming dark cloud called work; all justified by the Peter Pan syndrome of avoidance of work and a mature life. To what purpose do they attend these colleges, the observer is bound to ask, oh, but to prepare them for some non-dirtying of the hands type job that will allow them to repay their student loans quickly and join that same society they are now condemning. To acquire a home, a mate, two SUVs or tin cans on wheels according to their moral compass, these are the goals, but because of this damned economy and the fact that Obama can’t manage to transform us into a Socialist Utopia, their dreams seem unobtainable.

Yes, “Young people speaking their minds,” right after having the last parental diapers of protection pulled is at the heart of the matter, they are quick to bemoan their woes while reaching out to commiserate their misery in a mournful dirge of despair, “Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.” The collective grief and anguish pleas find little sympathy among those with forty years of work behind them, who now face the loss of everything. Many of whom have never had the opportunity to gambol about on one of the country clubs of senseless and impractical learning, in a magical time warp of leisure and social excess; being faced with that ever nagging force of increasing principles on student loans and the inevitable hopelessness of a job search during an Obama Economy and the very real possibility that potential employers might not regard them with the same esteem they feel they deserve for working so hard at a degree that is considered by many employers to be of dubious value in the mean world of reality. Therefore, the whole country should, “look what’s going down,” the world is being mean to them; mommy and daddy didn’t prepare them for this life, not the cold hard realities of this life. The realities of actually holding down a job instead of the hedonism of a continual search for improvement and self-awareness are not exactly why they attended these expensive universities.

There’s battle lines being drawn.
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong.
Young people speaking their minds,
Getting so much resistance from behind.
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down.

Krugman’s liberalism needs virtuous zealots to carry forth the banners of Socialism, so what if they are nonsensical and witless poets in rags; they are taking a stand and God knows there are precious few willing to stand with Obama these days.

From Krugman’s feeble attempt at subversion, he uses the classic three part play to illustrate his anemic and pathetic plea:

In the first act, bankers took advantage of deregulation to run wild (and pay themselves princely sums), inflating huge bubbles through reckless lending. In the second act, the bubbles burst — but bankers were bailed out by taxpayers, with remarkably few strings attached, even as ordinary workers continued to suffer the consequences of the bankers’ sins. And, in the third act, bankers showed their gratitude by turning on the people who had saved them, throwing their support — and the wealth they still possessed thanks to the bailouts — behind politicians who promised to keep their taxes low and dismantle the mild regulations erected in the aftermath of the crisis.

I seem to remember Obama bailing out the bankers with obscene amounts of taxpayer dollars, Krugman must have run short of ink or he would have mentioned that inconvenient fact. Is it convenient to leave out how Rubin rewrote the bank rules and of Obama’s declaration that the banks were too big to fail? Let’s not mention that Cuomo made predatory lending legal. It is awkward to mention that Clinton opted not to regulate derivatives. The Occupy Wall Street group will become confused if they know that Democrats securitized the bogus loans at Fannie and Freddy. That Goldman and Sachs, Obama’s main corporate supported and one of the beneficiaries of obscene amounts of Obama’s stimulus, packaged and sold worthless debt as high value securities. All made possible, because they own Obama. No these are inconvenient facts, it is far better not let the crowd suffer from Aristotle’s anagnorisis described so well in “Poetic’s” as the instant when ignorance gives way to truth. No Krugman is perfectly willing to pimp for the Democrat Party and lie to the mob, telling them what he thinks they want to hear while the potential for rage over perceived social injustice increases. Little do these people of little cerebral capacity or experience realize that all of middle class America is suffering under the imposition of the Socialist Regime of Obama; they may rightly feel they have no future, the overwhelming majority is watching their lifetime investments of work and money eroding away into oblivion. Krugman implores them to jump on board and complete the transformation of America into a Socialist Dystopia and guarantee they will never have a chance of success, but an opportunity of collective mediocrity.

Krugman tries to soothe the savage beast that resides within the heart of every mob and expresses the oft-repeated premise of the Elite that guides every Useful Idiot and mindless lemming hiding within the collective of the faithful.

A better critique of the protests is the absence of specific policy demands. It would probably be helpful if protesters could agree on at least a few main policy changes they would like to see enacted. But we shouldn’t make too much of the lack of specifics. It’s clear what kinds of things the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators want, and it’s really the job of policy intellectuals and politicians to fill in the details.

How reassuring to those who sleep on the side walks, intellectuals and politicians will show the way just trust in us: “It’s clear what kinds of things the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators want, and it’s really the job of policy intellectuals and politicians to fill in the details.”

For the witless Useful Idiots who were laughed at by Stalin, theirs is not to think, but to follow the whims of intellectuals and politicians, forget those ridiculous attempts at eduction and knowledge, lest you suffer a crippling attack of anagnorisis and be of little or no use to the movement, for if ignorance gives way to truth the movement will be doomed. Remember the words to the song:

What a field day for the heat.
A thousand people in the street,
Singing songs and carrying signs,
Mostly say, “Hooray for our side.”
It’s time we stop, hey, what’s that sound?
Everybody look what’s going down.

“A thousand people in the street, Singing songs and carrying signs, Mostly say ‘Hooray for our side’.” This is all you need to do, trust in the Elites and we will grant you a life and guide you through the dark scary forest of life.

Fortunately, the Left and the New York Times has intellectual lightweights like Krugman for guidance; otherwise, the country could be in far worse shape with the mounting anger of our worsening economic situation being directed at the party that has controlled approximately one fourth of the legislative government, for nine months, rather the party that controls the Executive and the Senate and controlled it all for two years of this debacle. Yes rather than ridicule our opposition we should be thankful they are so clueless in the arena of ideas.

“What we’ve got here is… failure to communicate.”

A quote from the movie Cool Hand Luke: spoken by The Captain, the imperious warden and by Cool Hand Luke at the conclusion of the film.

Anagnorisis is the moment or instant when ignorance gives way to truth; assumed to be first described by Aristotle in his “Poetics,” it along with peripeteia (reversal of fortune) describe Eric Holder’s recent encounter with facts and soon justice and perhaps federal prison in Leavenworth.

How poetic, the ancient Greeks so aptly described the present situation Holder created for himself by committing perjury, a crime he would no doubt prosecute against another felon with fast and furious efficiency, but now he is the one who faces prosecution and imprisonment for committing perjury during a congressional hearing.

Chain Gang Street Sweepers, DC 1909

The race card will be difficult to play effectively and Affirmative Action has run out for Eric Holder. Actually, the race card has been so overplayed by Obama, Holder, and the Congressional Black Caucus, it may have lost all relevance.

Click here to view the embedded video.

New emails indicate that Holder lied during congressional hearings on May 3, in front of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. During sworn testimony, he stated that he first heard of Operation Fast and Furious “over the last few weeks;” however, he had been briefed in a memo almost a year earlier on July 5, 2010. Actually, he was briefed on the operation in a continuous stream of emails that updated him and other key members of the administration on the progress and relative success of the operation. He was well aware of the fact that thousands of weapons were being bought by the Sinaloa cartel and being carried across the border.

Here is a sample excerpt:

From July 12 through July 16, the National Drug Intelligence Center Document and Media Exploitation Team at the Phoenix Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCTDETF) Strike Force will support the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives’ Phoenix Field Division with its investigation of Manuel Celis-Acosta as part of OCDETF Operation Fast and Furious. This investigation, initiated in September 2009 in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Phoenix Police Department, involves a Phoenix-based firearms trafficking ring headed by Manual Celis-Acosta. Celis-Acosta and [redacted] straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug trafficking cartels. They also have direct ties to the Sinaloa Cartel which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of firearms in the greater Phoenix area.

Besides the race card, Holder’s defense attorney will surely claim that an AG is overwhelmed with dozens of reports each week and these particular reports escaped his attention because of overwork and incompetence. Ordinarily, in the case of parking tickets and run of the mill political corruption, these three defenses warrant acquittal, but this case is a little different. Two federal agents have been murdered with these weapons that the Obama Administration tried beyond measure and common sense to place in the hands of Narcotics traffickers and killers; their sense of accommodation is to be commended, if only they could have placed such efforts on the economy. There have also been hundreds if not thousands of Mexican nationals killed with these same weapons; yet by a simple plea of incompetence and of overwork, Holder will surely try to distance himself from the mayhem and murder brought about by the Obama plan to arm Mexican Drug gangs.

It will be hard to convince a jury that he missed similar reports every week for a number of months, but he may putting too much faith in the color of his hide if he relies on that defense. It is far more likely that he will turn State’s Evidence and give up Napolitano and Obama to avoid a lengthy prison term, but he better move quick, the memos and reports are coming to the surface daily.

They Don't Use Stripes Anymore, It's Stylish Orange Jumpsuits for The Obama Administration

At this point it is conjecture as to whether the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has the power or the cojones to imprison a sitting AG for contempt of congress, surely they will appoint a special prosecutor to prosecute for a much longer prison sentence than the one year sentence they can impose for contempt of congress and thus increase the scope of the investigation. Constitutional issues will surely arise on whether a congressional committee has the power to prosecute a member of the Executive, but it seems to be a more difficult and dubious path than selecting a special prosecutor and bringing down the entire Obama Administration.

A number of the emails that have surfaced involve two Department of Justice officials, Deputy Chief of the National Gand Unit James Trusty and Jason Weinstein, Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division. These two men discuss in detail the details of another gun-walking operation in Tucson (Fast and Furious was based in Phoenix) and a third unnamed gun-walking operation.

Trusty to Weinstein:

Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the tucson case sooner than Fast and Furious (although this may be the difference between Nov and Dec). It’s not clear how much we’re invlvoed in the main F and F case, but we have Tucson and now a new, related case with [redacted] targets. It’s not going to be any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX, so I’m not sure how much grief we get for “gun walking.” It may be more like, “Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.”

Recent documents confirm at lest three and possibly four gun walking operations, thus probably implicating Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the State Department, and the White House.

It is time for Holder to sing like a bird or ask for a tailored orange jump suit with matching wingtips.

This is only starting to become interesting, but remember, timing is critical. If Holder takes the fall, Obama can pardon him before leaving office; however, there are too many that are facing possible charges on this one, including the skinny guy in the White House.

Epilogue: Don’t hesitate to email this and other reports around the country; it’s a dead cinch the MSM won’t cover it until Holder and Napolitano are read their Miranda Rights. Put some popcorn on the stove, this will be better than color TV.

Addition: Holder now says he saw the memos, but didn’t read the details. Bill Clinton must have given him that one, since the definition of “Is” has been played out.

Barack Obama ordered the assassination of two American citizens. No one is arguing that they weren’t bad, but this is a terrible precedent.

An American President now can order the assassination of American citizens.

An American President can now suspend any American’s constitutional rights at will.

Think about that.

Why did we give Timothy McVeigh a trial?

Why don’t we just kill Case Anthony? We all know she’s guilty.

Why do we even bother having trials?

Over at Huffington Post there is division on this issue. They quote Jane Harman:

“It’s tricky that he was a U.S. citizen, but he clearly stated his intention to kill Americans and the Justice Department thoroughly vetted the legal issues and this strike was within the law,”

The Justice Department vetted this? Holder vetted this?

That borders on insanity. This is the same Holder “Justice Department” who put an end to the Black Panther intimidation case. The is the same Holder “Justice Department” which intentionally sent weapons into Mexico. This is the same Justice Department that sues states for attempting to protect their borders. This is the same “Justice Department” that wants a civil trial for Khalid Sheik Muhammamed.

HuffPo is allowing no comments that question Obama’s decision to assassinate an American citizen. I suspect that even they know how wrong this was.

What is the threshold for ordering the death of American citizens?

Joe Biden likened Tea Party members to terrorists.

Vice President Joe Biden joined House Democrats in lashing tea party Republicans Monday, accusing them of having “acted like terrorists” in the fight over raising the nation’s debt limit, according to several sources in the room.

Biden was agreeing with a line of argument made by Rep. Mike Doyle (D-Pa.) at a two-hour, closed-door Democratic Caucus meeting.

“We have negotiated with terrorists,” an angry Doyle said, according to sources in the room. “This small group of terrorists have made it impossible to spend any money.”

Biden, driven by his Democratic allies’ misgivings about the debt-limit deal, responded: “They have acted like terrorists.”

Golly, if they’re terrorists, then Obama can have them killed, right?

Obama himself called Americans his enemies

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’

And why not punish them with a nice Predator missile?

In fact, we are “treacherous enemies.”

Obama’s website once trumpeted this:

“All 50 States are coordinating in this – as we fight back against our own Right-Wing Domestic Terrorists who are subverting the American Democratic Process, whipped to a frenzy by their Fox Propaganda Network ceaselessly re-seizing power for their treacherous leaders.”

Terrorists. Terrorists need to be killed, even if they are Americans.

How about killing anyone who is a threat to democracy? Barack Obama once said that the Chamber of Commerce was a threat to democracy. Why not kill them?

David Plouffe said those who support Republicans are a threat to democracy

“They are becoming the central financial actors in the 2010 election,” Plouffe told reporters in Washington yesterday. “What’s happening out there is really a hijacking of our democracy.”

I guess they can be killed as well. Eric Holder would no doubt permit it.

A whole new world of opportunity has been opened up for Obama.

What now is the threshold for an American President to order the assassination of American citizens? Who can Obama have killed simply because he’s in a pissy mood?

Who’s next?

Aren’t we bombing Libya because its leader was killing his people?

Schumer Has A Plan

Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat, N.Y. thinks the president’s plan to raise the taxes on households making more than $250,000 may require a special dispensation for New Yorkers.

After President Obama unveiled his totally new plan for the new plan for deficit-reduction that Americans hear about every other month, the plan that raises taxes on households that have an income of over $250,000, he flew to New York for a fundraising event (tickets were priced at $36,000).

A reporter, Marcia Kramer asked lawmakers from the New York region what they thought of President Obama’s tax plans. Most of the legislators were in step with the president, but Schumer stood up for his limousine Liberals. He supports the millionaire’s tax, but with caveats. He feels the $250,000 limit is unacceptable for the metropolitan area of New York, because of the high cost of living within the city.

Schumer Logic

“$250,000 makes you really rich in Mississippi, but it doesn’t make you rich at all in New York and there ought to be some kind of scale based on the cost of living on how much you pay.”

Schumer already has the rest of the country subsidizing the high rollers of New York with federal tax deductions for local and state taxes, but he seeks more advantages for his constituents.

While our Limousine Liberals beg to be taxed more, they like Buffet will use every device to keep from paying the taxes they have asked for; they don’t really plan to be required to pay the taxes, after all they paid $36,000 for a dinner, they want the people in fly over country paying the taxes.
