      <description>For those of us that actually take the time to do our own homework, to investigate the facts, and learn the truth..We  already know a lot  about of what  Mr. Larry Grathwohl is saying in this interview. How the communist, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and The Weather Underground terrorist group, nurtured, and financed, Barack Hussein Obama along to be the radical un-American that he is today. How they eventually became so called, respected Marxist Professors at prestigious colleges,teaching their Marxist ideology to the Progressive Liberals, dumbing them down, making them hate America,Our forefathers,our  constitution and bill of rights, our way of life. As we have taken the time to do our own homework, to investigate the facts, I suggest you take the times to watch and listen to this interview. I did and Mr. Larry Grathwohl spoke of some things I wasn't aware of, and maybe you are not aware of either.</description>

      <description>North Korea TV: USA Perversions - Special Report, All Perversions Covered, Except One

In this in-depth report, North Korea Television looks at perversions in the USA today.

The report, filmed at great personal risk to the presenter, Alun Hill, includes the sins of under-utilized caffeine, homosexualism, double entendre shampoo, lesbianism, sadism, radioactive atomically energetic militarism, mob starvation riotism, communist-coached sex educationalism, pornographicism, and other 'isms' left unnamed. 

He also shows the government-sponsored perversion shelters -  which have been built in the United States in every town and city - to house all upstanding, incorruptible American families in their valiant but ultimately in vain efforts to remain normal.

Can you work out the missing perversion?

      <title>Some Chinese Tourist Have Uncivilised Behaviour</title>
      <pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 22:55:44 -0400</pubDate>

      <description>The dire manners and &quot;uncivilised behaviour&quot; of some Chinese tourists abroad are harming the country's image, said a top official who lamented their poor &quot;quality and breeding&quot;, according to state-run media.

Wang Yang, one of China's four vice premiers, singled out for condemnation &quot;talking loudly in public places, jay-walking, spitting and wilfully carving characters on items in scenic zones&quot;.

Such &quot;uncivilised behaviours&quot; were &quot;often criticised by the media and have damaged the image of Chinese people and caused vicious impact&quot;, he said, according to the website of the People's Daily, the ruling Communist Party's mouthpiece.

China proclaims itself a 5,000-year-old civilisation but at a government meeting Thursday on a new tourism law Wang said: &quot;The quality and breeding of some tourists are not high yet.&quot;

Chinese consumers have become increasingly affluent on the back of its economic boom and foreign holidays are ever more popular, with shopping often a key activity.

Destination countries, including debt-laden European states, have been easing visa restrictions to attract more tourists from China, but reports have also emerged of complaints about etiquette.

&quot;Improving the civilised quality of the citizens and building a good image of Chinese tourists are the obligations of governments at all levels and relevant agencies and companies,&quot; said Wang, a former party chief of Guangdong province, which borders Hong Kong.

Authorities should &quot;guide tourists to conscientiously abide by public order and social ethics, respect local religious beliefs and customs, mind their speech and behaviour... and protect the environment,&quot; he said.

A mainland Chinese mother who asked her son to relieve himself in a bottle in a crowded Hong Kong restaurant sparked an outpouring of online anger in February in the former British colony, where some locals deride mainlanders as &quot;locusts&quot;.

Travel authorities in rich eastern province of Jiangsu earlier this year urged travellers to &quot;take less cash, never show off money or valuables&quot; after 23 Chinese visitors were robbed in Paris.

      <title>North Korean pirates seize Chinese hostages, demand a ransom</title>

A group of Chinese fishermen are said to be held hostage in North Korea, straining ties already frayed by North Korea's missile launches.
By Arthur Bright 
 o A daily summary of global reports on security issues. 

The Chinese embassy in  North Korea  is &quot;working on&quot; securing the release of the crew of a Chinese fishing boat held by unidentified armed North Koreans, who are reportedly seeking a ransom.

 The Associated Press  reports that, according to the ship owner Yu Xuejun, the  Liaoning -based boat was seized on May 5 by kidnappers demanding 600,000 yuan ($100,000) ransom  for the 16 crew members' safe return.

In another plea for help on Monday, Yu wrote on his blog that he received another call from &quot;the North Korean side&quot; on Sunday night, still demanding money.

&quot;My captain gave me the phone, his voice was trembling, could feel he was very afraid, told me no later than 5 p.m. today,&quot; Yu wrote. He said he suspected his crew had been mistreated.

RECOMMENDED:  How much do you know about China? Take our quiz. 

Mr. Yu said that the boat was seized in Chinese waters, although the kidnappers reportedly claimed it was in North Korean territory.

RECOMMENDED:  How much do you know about China? Take our quiz. 

Yu told  Agence France-Presse  that he believes the kidnappers are  part of the North Korean military , though he is not certain. He reported the incident to the Chinese government, but took to social media to publicize his crew's predicament after becoming frustrated with a lack of official action.

&quot;It has almost been two weeks, but I haven't seen any results,&quot; he told AFP.

Chinese state news agency Xinhua  published its first report  on the matter on Sunday, writing that the Chinese embassy in North Korea &quot;is working on the detention&quot; and is &quot;asking  Pyongyang  to ensure the safety and legitimate rights and interests of the fishermen.&quot;

The incident comes amid a tense situation on the  Korean peninsula . North Korea in recent months has conducted several missile launches and nuclear tests, including six short-range rocket launches over the weekend and  two more today .  China , a traditional ally of North Korea, has been showing greater irritation with its neighbor, including supporting  UN  sanctions against Pyongyang over its most recent nuclear test.

AP writes that kidnappings of Chinese nationals by North Korean pirates are actually fairly common - including a similar event last year in which 29 fishermen were seized by armed North Koreans and later released.

&quot;Whatever you call North Korea - rogue state or whatever - these kind of cases just keep happening,&quot; said a Liaoning Maritime and Fishery Administration official who identified himself only by his surname, Liu. &quot;We had such cases last year and the year before. There's very little we can do to prevent them.&quot;

The Global Times, a  Chinese Communist Party  newspaper, suggests that the current tension between Beijing  and Pyongyang may result in a greater willingness for the Chinese to publicize the incidents - and that North Korea  is deliberately targeting China .

Cui Zhiying, director of the Korean Peninsula Research Center at the  Shanghai -based Tongji University , told the Global Times that as the relations between China and North Korea are gradually changing from traditional ideological allies to normal bilateral relations, these kinds of reports are being disclosed more frequently than before.

Jin Qiangyi, director of the Asian Studies Center at Yanbian University, told the Global Times Sunday that China has been inclined to deal with such disputes in a low-key manner, which has been taken advantage of by North Korea to infringe upon Chinese fishermen's interests.

&quot;It's also possible that the nuclear state is taking revenge on China after the UN imposed a series of sanctions on it following its third nuclear test,&quot; said Jin, stressing that the Chinese government should hold firm in safeguarding the safety of its citizens, otherwise, such incidents will reoccur in the future.

      <title>Founders envisioned 'petty dictator' like Obama</title>

      <description>'It was a man like him that they feared would come to possess the presidency'

Amid a three-pronged attack on the U.S. Constitution by Democrats, talk-radio host Michael Savage reminded his listeners that America's Founding Fathers built into the nation's founding document checks and balances that anticipated the rise of a dictator who would try to seize power.

Barack Obama is the type of &quot;petty dictator&quot; the Founders envisioned, Savage told his national audience tonight.

The top-rated talk host noted Obama expressed frustration in an interview Sunday regarding the limits imposed by the Constitution &quot;without even understanding that it was a man like him that   feared would come to possess the presidency one day.&quot;

You've always known that &quot;Liberalism is a Mental Disorder&quot;: Get Savage Solutions

Obama told NBC's Matt Lauer Sunday that &quot;people&quot; have been &quot;frustrated&quot; that &quot;I have not been able to force Congress to implement every aspect of what I said in 2008.&quot;

&quot;Well, you know,&quot; the president continued, &quot;it turns out that our Founders designed a system that makes it more difficult to bring about change than I would like sometimes.&quot;

Savage also pointed to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's disdain of the U.S. Constitution in an interview with Egyptian television in Cairo last week and a New York Times story published today that characterized the founding document as old and insufficient for today's world.

Ginsburg said in the interview with Al Hayat television Feb. 1 that the Middle East country's revolutionaries should not regard the U.S. Constitution as a model.

&quot;I would not look to the U.S. Constitution, if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012,&quot; Ginsburg said. &quot;I might look at the constitution of South Africa. That was a deliberate attempt to have a fundamental instrument of government that embraced basic human rights, have an independent judiciary. It really is, I think, a great piece of work that was done.&quot;

Savage commented that there's been &quot;a concerted effort on the part of Obama, Ginsburg - and now the New York Times is chiming in - saying the Constitution is out of date, it's old, it guarantees too few rights and it's time to change  .&quot;

&quot;They want the Constitution to be rewritten,&quot; Savage said.

The New York Times article, by Adam Liptak, began with asserting the Constitution &quot;has seen better days.&quot;

&quot;Sure, it is the nation's founding document and sacred text,&quot; Liptak wrote. &quot;And it is the oldest written national constitution still in force anywhere in the world. But its influence is waning.&quot;

Savage surmised that Liptak's ancestors likely fled czarist Russia or a similar land &quot;specifically so they would be protected by the U.S. Constitution.&quot;

&quot;And now their subterranean grandson, Adam Liptak, is dong the bidding of the petty dictator by saying the Constitution has seen better days,&quot; he said.

Liptak wrote that the Constitution is &quot;out of step with the rest of the world in failing to protect, at least in so many words, a right to travel, the presumption of innocence and entitlement to food, education and health care.&quot;

Savage commented: &quot;In other words, because the U.S. Constitution does not guarantee a socialist or communist view of the world, it is, therefore, useless.&quot;

The Times writer also characterized the right to bear arms as an &quot;idiosyncrasy,&quot; pointing out that only 2 percent of the world's constitutions protect that right.

&quot;Do you have any idea what is going on here?&quot; Savage asked. &quot;Do you realize that we have a power-mad Leninist in the White House, Barack Obama?&quot;

      <description>

By Colbert King
East Germany's Ministry for State Security, also known as the Stasi, posed a major challenge during my three-year stint as an attache at the U.S. Embassy in Bonn during the 1960s. Detecting and preventing Stasi agents from penetrating the security of U.S. diplomatic facilities in West Germany was a 24-7 undertaking.

The East German secret police were even more ruthless and relentless in operations against their own citizens. Political suppression in that communist state was total. There was no room for dissent. Thousands of East Germans were arbitrarily imprisoned for &quot;internal security&quot; reasons.

So it was especially galling to learn upon returning to the states in 1969 that the FBI had a counterintelligence program, known as COINTELPRO, that was, in some ways, as pernicious as the threat we were working against overseas.

Senate hearings in the 1970s revealed that the FBI, under the guise of protecting national security, had treated rights guaranteed by the First Amendment as little more than a collection of antiquated wishes best ignored.

With its surveillance of citizens, infiltration of civil rights groups and disruption of legal activities, the FBI's counterintelligence program echoed the behavior of East Germany's Stasi. The FBIacknowledges on its Web site that &quot;COINTELPRO was later rightfully criticized by Congress and the American people for abridging first amendment rights and for other reasons.&quot;

Fortunately, Congress reined in the FBI, placing it behind, and not beyond, the Constitution.

Where are we now?

The revelations that the Justice Department had secretly seized journalists' phone records and that the Internal Revenue Service had targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status show that government's heavy hand has not been lifted. Are these examples of COINTELPRO revisited?

Not quite, though they are disturbing.

Governments spend millions to prevent secrets from falling into enemy hands. A Justice Department probe into a compromised Middle East intelligence operation last year was not focused on the surreptitious work of a foreign power. The unlawful disclosure came from within.

The Justice Department sought to discover who in the U.S. government allegedly told the Associated Press about a failed al-Qaeda plot in Yemen.

The compromised Yemeni operation differs from some breakdowns in national security for its cause. Chalk up that serious breach to hubris: the leaker's puerile chest-thumping about having bested a sworn enemy or, worse, a self-serving desire to burnish the Obama administration's credentials as an al-Qaeda slayer.

In this regard, the administration has only itself to blame.

On top of the mistakes made by a U.S. official leaking the nation's secrets, the administration compounded things by launching a dragnet for the records of callsreceived and made from 20 phone lines (including office, home and cell numbers) of the AP journalists in five area codes and three states.

Talk about power running amok.

Meanwhile, back in the bureaucracy, Internal Revenue Service workers were having a high old time putting conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status through hoops. IRS employees were instructed to be on the &quot;lookout&quot; for groups with &quot;tea party&quot; and &quot;patriot&quot; in their names, according to the report of the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration.

The acting IRS commissioner has already been forced to walk the plank, and more heads may roll. The IRS has a steep hill to climb to gain the public's trust. But there is one bright spot: This misbehavior was detected and exposed by government self-policing. Of course, the selective screening never should have occurred. But the inspector general system created to ferret out government fraud, waste and abuse worked in this case.

The Justice Department, meanwhile, is in an even deeper hole.

Who can take seriously the department's mission, as stated by its Office of Privacy and Civil Liberties, &quot;to protect the privacy and civil liberties of the American people&quot;?

Famed First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams told the Daily Beast this week that the Justice Department's broad seizure of journalists' phone records was &quot;certainly one of the most intense intrusions by the government into a pressroom that I can remember.&quot;

&quot;Why couldn't they put this issue before a judge?&quot; Abrams asked. &quot;What they have done is foreclose any meaningful response by the AP. This isn't just seeking a record of one journalist for one day. This is breaking and entering into the heart of the journalistic process of the Associated Press.&quot;

Media outlets covering D.C. affairs should also be concerned. Journalists who draw on confidential sources while aggressively covering the city's corruption scandal may now wonder if U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen is going after their phone records. After all, it was Machen's office that served the subpoenas in the AP case.

COINTELPRO? No. Unchecked government power? Yes.

      <description>The 
				Left vs. the Liberal Media

				Media Lens 
				debunks the BBC's humanitarian interventionists

				

				 By Neil Clark 

				

				May 16, 2013 
				&quot;Information 
				Clearing House &quot; -&quot; The 
				American Conservative &quot;-  
				It all started in July 2001 when two men, concerned about bias 
				in the corporate news media in the UK, began to send out &quot;media 
				alerts&quot; to a small number of family and friends. Twelve years on 
				and Media Lens-the brainchild of writer David Edwards, a former 
				manager in sales and marketing, and David Cromwell, a physicist 
				by background-has established itself as the UK's media watchdog. 
				There's no doubting the impact they have made. &quot;Without their 
				meticulous and humane analysis, the full gravity of the debacles 
				of Iraq and Afghanistan might have been consigned to bad 
				journalism's first draft of bad history,&quot; is the verdict of 
				veteran reporter and filmmaker John Pilger.
				It's been 
				an eventful twelve years. In addition to the &quot;debacles&quot; of Iraq 
				and Afghanistan, we've had the (ongoing) menacing of Iran on 
				account of an unproven nuclear-weapons program and Israeli 
				military assaults on Lebanon in 2006 and on Gaza in 2008 and 
				again in 2012. Add in the global financial crash of 2008, and 
				there's been plenty to keep the two Davids occupied.
				David 
				Cromwell's new book,  Why Are We The Good Guys? , discusses 
				these events and the work that he and Edwards have done to 
				counter the &quot;elite-friendly value assumptions and judgements&quot; 
				that characterize their coverage in Britain. Although he is 
				clearly a man of the left-his working-class childhood was an 
				&quot;interesting mix of Catholic and Communist&quot; 
				influences-Cromwell's not one to be deceived by labels, an 
				important skill to possess in an age when wars are sold as 
				&quot;humanitarian interventions&quot; to gain support from liberals.
				Media Lens 
				has been outspoken, when the need arises, in its critique of 
				so-called liberal-left media. Many on the British center-left 
				give the BBC a free pass because they have swallowed the line 
				that the organization is somehow &quot;left-wing.&quot; Yet Cromwell and 
				Edwards have shown that when it comes to propagandizing for 
				illegal wars and peddling establishment views, the BBC has at 
				least as bad a record as commercial news networks.
				When I 
				caught up with David to talk to him about his new book, the BBC 
				was in the middle of what has been described by some as the 
				biggest crisis in its 90-year history: the resignation of its 
				Director-General and other bigwigs after the fallout from a 
				&quot;Newsnight&quot; program on child abuse. But while heads rolled over 
				the state-owned broadcaster getting allegations wrong on just 
				one program, Cromwell points out that the BBC was never held 
				accountable for the role it played in the lead up to the Iraq 
				War.
				&quot;There was 
				no such pressure for senior BBC staff to go over the 
				broadcaster's systemic failure to challenge US-UK propaganda 
				over Iraq's non-existent WMD. This media failure paved the way 
				towards war in Iraq and the subsequent brutal and bloody 
				occupation. Instead of responsible public-service journalism, 
				BBC News provides a reliable conduit for government propaganda, 
				most notably the state's supposedly benign intentions in foreign 
				wars and international relations. That is the daily news diet we 
				are all spoon-fed.&quot;
				No such 
				presumption of good faith applies when journalists discuss the 
				actions of countries that don't toe the Washington line. &quot;It is, 
				of course, fine for journalists in the West to point to the 
				crimes of official enemies and to mock them for their 
				transparent propaganda efforts. Thus, the BBC's Emily Maitlis 
				was able to introduce the flagship television program 
				'Newsnight' with a touch of sardonic wit: 'Hello, good evening. 
				The Russians are calling it a &quot;peace enforcement operation.&quot; 
				It's the kind of Newspeak that would make George Orwell proud.'
				&quot;Maitlis 
				was referring to the invasion of Russian forces into the 
				Georgian province of South Ossetia in August 2008. By contrast, 
				imagine a BBC presenter referring skeptically to the 
				government's claim of a 'peace enforcement operation' for the 
				West's invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, or Libya and describing 
				such language as 'the kind of newspeak that would make George 
				Orwell proud.' It just would not happen.&quot;
				I ask 
				Cromwell how he would respond to those who say that Media Lens 
				should devote all its energies on attacking neocon  &quot;uber -hawks 
				rather than criticizing the liberal media, which might agree 
				with the group's standpoints, say, 70 percent of the 
				time. &quot;Media Lens has indeed spent more time analyzing the 
				liberal media than right-wing outlets. Why? Because the liberal 
				media is often regarded as the outlets where the most 
				progressive and the most challenging views can be seen and 
				heard. If you like, it's one end of the acceptable spectrum of 
				news and views. But if even here there are severe limits on 
				permissible challenges to state-corporate power, what does that 
				say about society generally? It's like a litmus test for 
				dissent.&quot;
				Cromwell 
				believes that the role of the media in promoting the doctrine of 
				&quot;liberal interventionism&quot; has been absolutely crucial. &quot;If the 
				public was better informed, and not so often misled by those in 
				power, there would likely be a stronger rein on the governing 
				elite. But it's not happening. A major reason for this is that 
				the corporate media acts as an echo chamber and amplifier of 
				government propaganda. Even when challenged, senior journalists 
				say that their role is to report what those in power say and 
				do-even what they 'think.'
				&quot;For 
				example, when the BBC's Nick Robinson was the ITN political 
				editor, he wrote of the war in Iraq:
				
					In the 
					run-up to the conflict, I and many of my colleagues, were 
					bombarded with complaints that we were acting as mouthpieces 
					for Mr Blair. Why, the complainants demanded to know, did we 
					report without question his warning that Saddam was a 
					threat? Hadn't we read what Scott Ritter had said or Hans 
					Blix? I always replied in the same way. It was my job to 
					report what those in power were doing or thinking... . That is 
					all someone in my sort of job can do.
				
				&quot;Robinson 
				performs the same compliant role today as political editor for 
				the BBC,&quot; Cromwell says.
				In the 
				'90s we saw an informal alliance formed between neoconservatives 
				and progressives united behind their support for &quot;liberal 
				intervention.&quot; I ask Cromwell if he thinks that a similar 
				alliance can be formed between the antiwar left and the antiwar 
				right. &quot;I'd be wary of an overt alliance with anyone, right-wing 
				or otherwise, who espouses other views that I might find 
				distasteful. But certainly traditional conservatives should 
				be-and often are-vehemently opposed to what goes by the 
				benign-sounding term 'neo-liberalism,' which I unpack in the 
				book.&quot;
				One of the 
				most riveting chapters in Cromwell's book is called &quot;Beyond 
				Indifference,&quot; in which he talks about his philosophical 
				influences. He concludes-rather like Aldous Huxley-that if we do 
				want to &quot;free ourselves&quot; and live better lives, it all starts 
				with undertaking &quot;small acts of kindness for others.&quot; And in 
				contrast, he writes,
				
					
					Violence feeds on violence, as wise people have known for 
					thousands of years. For example, if brutal state repression 
					is met by violence from some elements of society, it 
					provides an excuse for state forces to ramp up fire-power 
					and crush dissent with even more brutal and widespread 
					violence. The current state of Permanent War can only be 
					ended by people coming together peacefully to overcome state 
					power.
				
				Cromwell 
				certainly thinks that in challenging elite state propaganda 
				we're in a better position now than we were when Media Lens 
				began in 2001. &quot;One positive thing I've noticed is that more 
				people are challenging the media, at least judging by the 
				messages posted on our board and Facebook page, the emails we 
				get and the tweets we receive. Often, even before we've worked 
				up a media alert, we've been beaten to it by our 
				readers-although, to be fair to ourselves, we do typically wait 
				a few days or longer to see how an event is being played out in 
				the media. Ideally, I would hope that in five years' time there 
				would be less need for Media Lens to be on the internet 
				'haranguing' and 'vilifying' journalists, as skeptics and 
				opponents sometimes say! And surely by ten years from now I can 
				be happily retired and pottering about in a garden shed. 
				Preferably my own and not some random neighbor's.&quot;

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

by  Margery Eagan 
You know the worm has turned when even MSNBC's Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow hold their noses at the stench from Barack Obama's scandals - when so many stories from the so-called liberal press now describe the erstwhile Messiah as &quot;aloof,&quot; &quot;arrogant&quot; and &quot;holier than thou.&quot;

Obama announced the acting IRS chief's resignation last night. It's a start. But not quite enough to make up for the continuous late-night news loop from the Benghazi cover-up to the IRS scandal to the seizing of phone records of Associated Press editors and reporters.

Comedy Central's Jon Stewart - the chief news source for millions of young and liberal Obama voters - has laced into the president nonstop over White House claims that the president has learned of all this malfeasance on the TV news, just like any old bar stool Joe.

The way things are going, Stewart said, &quot;I wouldn't be surprised if President Obama learned Osama bin Laden had been killed when he saw himself announcing it on television.&quot;

The same media types accused of covering Obama on bended knee - such as myself - are now turning our collective backs. And no wonder. What we're learning about his administration has undermined our basic trust in government.

Yet the president seems oblivious to how serious and unsettling these scandals are, and how much damage he's done to his own agenda. And how he's fed right into the fears of the tin-foil hat set who can point to these very scary power grabs and say, &quot;See? He really is coming to get us.&quot;

Obama is no Nixon - at least not yet. Tricky Dick was the prime mover behind the White House &quot;plumbers,&quot; the notorious &quot;enemies list&quot; and the Watergate break-in, while Obama remains oddly passive in the face of his own administration's perfect storm of scandals.

As for the IRS, we can't forget its long and disgraceful history of targeting citizens for political payback: from Clinton ladies Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones to Martin Luther King Jr. to the John Birch Society and supposed communist sympathizers. The Wall Street Journal just reported that congressmen from both parties are seeking hundreds of politically motivated audits in the Clinton era.

Until now, whenever Obama screwed up, Hillary voters could say, &quot;I told you so.&quot; But that ended when Hillary, inexplicably, told congressmen pressing her on why Americans at our embassy were killed, &quot;What difference does it make?&quot;

Now we die-hard Dems are depressed, discouraged ... and bracing for &quot;Joe Biden in 2016.&quot;

      <title>Ex &lt;span class=&quot;highlight&quot;&gt;Communist&lt;/span&gt; Mike Vanderboegh at Liberty Oath Keeper with Stewart Rhodes - Killer Tomatoes </title>

      <description>This is an absolutely incredible video you need to watch from Mike Vanderboegh...Especially for One punch, (who suffers from short attention span) that tells me I don't know what Communism is. Maybe you should get in touch with Mr. Mike Vanderboegh who is an Ex Communist and tell him he doesn't know what what communism is either...You dumb ass!

Mike Vanderboegh is an ex-communist who founded the Three Percenters Movement, which is based on the reality that only three percent of the early American colonists took to the battlefield and still won. He is also the guy who not only broke the Fast and Furious story in December of 2010, but continuously exposed breaking stories and accounts from confidential sources regarding this scandal.

Vanderboegh is spot on concerning Collectivist butchers and the intentions of the Obama Administration. There are a couple of items in his video I especially enjoy. One concerns the language of Collectivists - a 'Radish' is a derogatory term that indicates a Communist who is only red on the outside. A 'Tomato' is red through and through. But a 'Killer Tomato' is a Communist who is willing to pull the trigger. Obama is the leader of the 'Killer Tomatoes.' I also enjoyed Mike's daughter's explanation of the difference between a Communist and a Socialist. Paraphrasing here... a Communist is a Socialist who has found his AK47 and is not afraid to pull the trigger. A Socialist is a Communist who has not found his AK47 yet and is afraid to pull the trigger. How true that is. All 'isms are just different vantage points of the same view.</description>
