Soros Funded Democrats Praise Obama’s War Crimes Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com November 15, 2011 Think Progress, the Soros funded “progressive” media operation, has once again inadvertently made the case that there is very little difference between so-called liberals and conservatives when it comes to killing Muslims and spreading around misery mixed with depleted uranium. Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the slaughter of innocents in Afghanistan. Prior to the Republican dog and pony show masquerading as a debate last week, the website posted a litany of myths and crime scene stats attributed to the unpopular teleprompter reader Barry Obama. Obama’s “accomplishments” include the supposed assassination of Osama bin Laden, the CIA asset that died in late 2001, and the “humanitarian” mass slaughter in Libya that installed alQaeda and promises to reduce the country to the status of post-war Iraq. Think Progress stands squarely behind the illegal effort to take down Iran just like the establishment Republicans who “debated” (read scripts) in South Carolina last weekend. TP takes Mitt Romney to task for claiming Obama is not willing to bomb Iranian school children and remind us that Obama has not taken military action “off the table.” TP is really outrageous when it comes to Egypt. The John Podesta gang claims Obama helped facilitate Egypt’s “transition to democracy” which was in fact a transition from the U.S.supported and financed dictator Hosni Mubarak to the decidedly undemocratic military “council”
that is now suppressing demonstrations. TP does its best to continue the al-Qaeda myth by lauding Obama’s supposed murder of Anwar alAwlaki, the former Pentagon dinner guest. Dems invariably express scripted reluctance over such blatant violations of international law, but enthusiastically engage in them regardless. “While there are legitimate questions surrounding the use of force in this case, the killing of al Awlaki and bin Laden undoubtedly weakens Al Qaeda’s ability to operate in the Middle East and plan and execute attacks,” TP writes. Even 1. TP’s friends at the CFR admit that the al-Qaeda myth is vastly overblown. The CFR wants to know why al-Qaeda’s imaginary sleeper cells in America have not “been sniping at people in shopping centers, collapsing tunnels, poisoning the food supply, cutting electrical lines, derailing trains, blowing up oil pipelines, causing massive traffic jams, or exploiting the countless other vulnerabilities that, according to security experts, could so easily be exploited?” On Sunday, Glenn Greenwald wrote for Salon that many Democrats not only passively acquiesce to Obama’s continuation of core Bush/Cheney Terrorism policies, but enthusiastically cheer it as proof that they, too, can be Tough and Strong (manly virtues demonstrated by how many human beings their leader kills from afar). So here you have Think Progress heaping praise on Obama for seizing what is literally the most radical power a President can seize: the power to target — in total secrecy and with no checks or due process — their fellow citizens for execution: specifically, assassination-by-CIA. (emphasis in original.) Of course, this should be expected – Think Progress is after all the brainchild of The Center for American Progress and its leader, John Podesta, the one-time chief of staff for Bill Clinton. CAP and Podesta played a major role in getting Obama elected.
CAP is at the forefront of support for Obama’s murder campaign in Afghanistan. It issued a report titled Sustainable Security in Afghanistan (written by CFR insider Lawrence Korb). The report was released in 2009 during a forum entitled A New Way Forward in Afghanistan that featured American Enterprise Institute scholar Frederick W. Kagan. AEI is a neocon organization responsible advocating the invasion of Iraq (current number of dead souls: 1.5 million). The TP “progressive” Democrats are the flip-side of the neocon Republicans. It is amusing to read TP’s diatribes against Republicans when they basically share the same ideology when it comes to killing Muslims. “That D.C.’s leading Democratic Party think tank celebrates so many” of Obama’s brutal acts, Greenwald continues, “and particularly thinks exactly like Newt Gingrich and Michele Bachmann on one of the most controversial civil liberties issues of our generation — the power of the President to secretly target even American citizens for assassination — speaks volumes about the true legacy of the Obama presidency in these areas.” More specifically, it speak volumes about the obvious fact that a single-headed and one-minded plutocracy runs the federal government. It is determined to wage war against invented enemies regardless of who warms a seat in the White House.
OBAMACARE FAILURE: Number of Uninsured (and Untreated) Grows by Noel Brinkerhoff All Gov November 15, 2011 Americans are continuing to lose health insurance coverage and to struggle paying for serious medical conditions, according to two separate surveys. A Gallup poll found the proportion of adults with no health insurance has been above 17% for the last six months. The rate in the third quarter of 2008 was 14.4%. One positive impact from President Barack Obama’s health care reform is that the uninsured rate for 18-25 year olds is down to 24.2%; it was 28% in mid-2010. The change is attributed to the law’s provision allowing parents to keep their children on their health insurance plans until age 26. But things are worse for older adults (26-64 years of age). The uninsured rate for them has climbed from 18.1% to 19.9%. The percentage of Americans with employer-based health insurance has declined steadily, from 49.8% at the beginning of 2008 to 44.5% in the most recent poll. Also, Americans with chronic illness or serious health problems have it tougher than their counterparts in other high-income countries when it comes to paying their medical bills, according to a survey of 18,000 adults in the U.S. by The Commonwealth Fund. “Despite spending far more on health care than any other country, the United States practically stands alone when it comes to people with illness or chronic conditions having difficulty affording health care and paying medical bills,” Commonwealth Fund President Karen Davis said. The survey found that 42% of adults with health problems went without care because of costs, and more than a quarter said they could not pay or found it difficult to do so. In comparison, the rate in other countries (Australia, Canada, France, Germany, theNetherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland) ranged from 1% to 14%.

CIA operations in Iran underway to take out Tehran bigs in mission to dismantle weapons program Explosions and assasinations at Iran nuke base pinned to Israel may have been CIA BY Helen Kennedy NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, November 14 2011, 12:11 AM In public Sunday, President Obama was at a summit unsuccessfully leaning on Russia and China to back diplomatic efforts to curb Iran’s nuke program. In private Sunday, there was more evidence of an efficient and brutal covert operation that continues to degrade Iran’s military capabilities. Iranian officials revealed that one of the 17 men killed in a huge explosion at a munitions depot was a key Revolutionary Guard commander who headed Iran’s missile program. And the IRNA state news agency reported that scientists had discovered a new computer virus in their systems, a more sophisticated version of the Stuxnet worm deployed last year to foul up Iran’s centrifuges. Iran said the army base explosion was an accident and the new Duqu virus was contained. But Israeli newspapers and some U.S. experts said it appeared to be more from an ongoing secret operation by the CIA and Israel’s Mossad to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. The covert campaign encompasses a series of assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and a similar explosion at another Iranian missile base two years ago both widely attributed to the Mossad. “May there be more like it,” was all Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said when Army Radio asked about the new blast. There was a third mysterious event: The son of a top
Iranian hard-liner was found dead — a seeming suicide — in a Dubai hotel on Sunday. His father called it “suspicious” and linked to the base explosion, without elaborating. Israel was accused of deploying the 11 agents who killed a top Hamas terrorist in a Dubai hotel last year. Tension has risen in recent weeks between Iran and the United States as a key United Nations report said Iran was close to being able to build a nuclear weapon. At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in Hawaii, Obama tried to get Russia and China to back a bid to tighten sanctions on Iran, meeting individually with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Chinese President Hu Jintao. Afterward, Hu didn’t even mention Iran, and Medvedev said only that he had spoken with Obama about Iran. Obama came under withering fire from the GOP presidential candidates at a debate Saturday, when the front-runners agreed he had been too weak on Iran and vowed to go to war to stop Iran’s nuclear ambitions if needed. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) slammed Obama for not being “smart” on Iran. Gingrich said he would launch “maximum covert operations” against Iran, “including taking out their scientists. . . . All of it covertly, all of it deniable.” White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters that pressure on Iran had put its leadership in disarray, and “the Iranian economy has ground to a halt.” hkennedy@nydailynews.com
Ventura’s Venture Against the TSA Becky Akers 1. LewRockwell.comNovember 15, 2011 He called it the “The Fascist States of America” and thrilled patriots everywhere when he promised, “I will never stand for a national anthem again. I will turn my back and I will raise a fist” after “a U.S. District Judge dismissed [his] lawsuit against full-body scanners at airports” on a technicality. In that suit, “ 1. Governor Jesse Ventura, a/k/a James G. Janos … [sought] a declaration that the TSA [Transportation Security Administration] and DHS [Department of Homeland Security, the TSA’s über-bureaucracy] have violated Ventura’s Fourth Amendment rights by subjecting him to airport security searches.” Mr. Ventura added, “It’s really sad … [The judge] claimed her court didn’t have jurisdiction. But this is a constitutional question…” Actually, it isn’t – at least to Our Rulers. And not just because they’re evil tyrants who spit on the Constitution. They are and they do, but what Mr. Ventura bumped up against is monstrously worse, something far more dangerous, entrenched, and systemic. Yet it remains so incognito and unsuspected that our hero might want to investigate it for his series, Conspiracy Theory, on TruTV. The culprit is a totalitarian nightmare known as “administrative law.” And when we victims assume the Constitution reigns supreme, Our Rulers laugh: they legally (even if unconstitutionally) replaced it about a century ago with administrative law.
You’re undoubtedly more familiar with “administrative law” by its acronyms: IRS, BATF, DHS, DEA, SEC, FDA, FCC, FAA, TSA…in other words, bureaucrats. And yes, with their allergy to common sense, their ineptitude, and their unfathomable Jargon, bureaucrats are utterly worthless except as punchlines. But they’re also responsible for most of the despotism smothering us, with scads of legal triumphs and precedents fortifying their dictatorship. Bureaucracies have cursed Americans since the nation’s birth; one even enjoys Constitutional imprimatur. The Post Office had barely delivered its first mail when Congress spawned another agency, US Customs – grossly ironic, given that tariffs and mercantilism had sparked the recent Revolution. But few other bureaucracies plagued the country until the despicable and thoroughly (dis)”Honest Abe” destroyed the railroads. When Lincoln rewarded his cronies in that burgeoning industry with immense tracts of land and equally immense subsidies for a transcontinental line, they stopped pleasing customers in favor of toadying to politicians. Within a few years, rates for shipping wheat were so high and abuse of passengers so egregious that the outcry afforded government an excuse to meddle even more. In 1887, it hatched the Interstate Commerce Commission – the first “modern” bureaucracy – and “delegated” to it power it didn’t have. I’d like to suppose the skies darkened and lamps across the country flickered at this corruption and outrage. Nowhere does the Constitution grant Congress any authority whatever over transportation in general or railroads – and airlines – in particular. And it certainly never allows Congress to delegate its legislative power: in fact, Article 1, Section 8 insists that only Congress shall “make all Laws…necessary and proper for carrying into Execution…all other Powers vested by this Constitution…in any Department…” But the Progressives then rising to cultural power and political office adored Leviathan. They portrayed the beast as mankind’s nurturer and benefactor rather than the dire predator the Founding Fathers had feared. And they despised the Constitution leashing that beast as much as the “ordinary” Americans whose freedom it
protected revered it. So rather than openly repealing the thing, Congressional Progressives worked around it by delegating more power they didn’t have to more agencies. The Constitution purposely divides government’s three functions – making laws, enforcing them, and judging those who break them – while seriously hampering the first. Legislating is slow and cumbersome precisely so that an exhaustive and exhausting legal system can’t enslave us. And the division of power helps restrain the Feds. The Progressives deliberately overturned that. They sought to “streamline” government and make it more “efficient” by combining those separated functions in the most inefficient of all Rube Goldberg machines, the bureaucracy. And so “administrative law contains all the statutes, judicial decisions, and regulations that govern [bureaucracies]. It is the body of law created by administrative agencies to implement their powers and duties in the form of rules, regulations, orders, and decisions,” 1. says West’s Encyclopedia of American Law. Astounding, isn’t it? Agencies write the laws that empower them to write laws. They set the rules of the game they play against us, enforce those rules, and judge us when we violate them in “administrative hearings.” Meanwhile, a single agency in a day can churn out more laws – euphemized as “regulations” – than Congress can all year. Nor does that end the evil. Progressive courts have created a fallacious, profoundly anticonstitutional dichotomy to support the bureaucratic regime: they pretend that actions agencies pursue are administrative rather than criminal. Therefore, they allege that Constitutional prohibitions of such horrors as warrantless searches don’t apply since the document protects us from overweening police power, not overweening government in general. Agencies, you see, are benevolent. The FDA secures us against filthy food and dangerous drugs; it’s not trying to imprison anyone, goodness, no! Likewise, the TSA guarantees our safety on planes – and on trains, busses, ferries, and Tennessee’s highways. It lacks punitive intentions; it’s our friend. Ergo, we can trust bureaucrats and allow them wide discretion – though virtually anything they do, even pedophilia, is kosher so long as they claim it helps them fulfill their mandate from Congress. These presuppositions make the Bill of Rights completely irrelevantbecause it guards us from punitive government, whereas agencies are trying to protect, not punish, us. The fact that bureaucrats ruin lives, that people languish in prison thanks to “administrative” searches, is as irrelevant as our rights. Congress arrogated to itself the unconstitutional power of delegation while pronouncing bureaucracies beneficial, and clowns in gowns winked, so we
overlook the inconvenient reality of political prisoners. These legal theories permeate and poison American government and jurisprudence. And though our grandparents muttered mutinously as the bureaucratic hold on them tightened in the 1920’s and ‘30’s, there is no longer any juridical debate: Our Rulers long ago settled it to their satisfaction with the Administrative Procedures Act of 1946 (which supposedly curtailed agencies’ control over us while actually increasing it) and other sops to the serfs. Continuing to call for Constitutional rights under the bureaucratic regime is like expecting Sabbath services in Bergen-Belsen. Mr. Ventura viscerally grasps this, as do most of us, even if we can’t explain the “legal” maneuvers behind it; he mourned, “My case clearly shows that the Bill of Rights doesn’t exist anymore. There’s nowhere to go to remedy grievances. It’s phony, a fraud. … I could have gotten equal justice in Cuba.” Indeed. Progressives aren’t the only authoritarians to recognize bureaucracies as the handiest tool for tyrannizing citizens. Communists, socialists, democrats, and fascists do, too. What would have happened had the court heard Mr. Ventura’s case? The same thing that has happened in other, similar ones: it would have ruled in the TSA’s favor, implicitly relying on Congress’ delegation of power it never had – power that is virtually limitless under the administrative regime. The TSA can do as it pleases, providing it asserts such criminality helps it carry out Congress’ mandate to “protect” transportation – and its perverts take care to constantly prattle just that preposterous justification. So long as we sue the TSA – or any bureaucracy – for violating our Constitutional freedoms, courts will rule against us and smirk while they do. The remedy for administrative law’s totalitarianism lies in abolishing bureaucracies, not pleading with Our Rulers to defend us from them, pretty please.
