Nah. Not even close. Entertaining to watch? Hell yes. I didn't know what to think the first time I saw Augustus... I just knew that I wanted to see more of it. Anylyze the video as hard as you want, and watch it as many times as you need to. Only about two hits land flush throughout this video. I haven't seen anyone post about him yet, being my favorite boxer I felt entitled to. Bonus video is Floyd Mayweather talking about how his hardest fight was against Augustus.

The attack, which occurred in Mesa, Ariz., on Friday, is suspected to be a copycat crime of a similar attack earlier last week. Derri Velarde, 41, told KPNX T-V in Arizona that she was in an apartment complex parking lot when an unidentified woman flung liquid into her face and ran off. "I saw... a woman, you know, walking up, with what looked like a drink of water in her hand," Velarde said. "It immediately just started to burn, I was on fire." Mesa police combed the area for the suspect and do not feel that this was a random act of violence. Many now believe that this is a copycat crime of Monday's incident in Washington. On the Monday prior to the attack on Velarde, 28-year-old Bethany Storro of was attacked by a complete stranger outside of a coffee shop in Vancouver, Wash. "A woman approached her and said, 'Hey pretty girl,' and she turned around and she asked if she wanted something to drink, and my daughter said, 'No,'" Storro's mother, Nancy Neuwelt told reporters. The attacker, who Storro described to "Good Morning America" as having a look of jealousy and rage about her, then threw a cup of liquid at her face. "It was like it almost didn't hurt right away because of the panic, you know, like, what just happened, and you're so focused on that, and then once I let it soak in I could start to feel it burning through my flesh," Storro said from her hospital bed, her head covered in gauze. Luckily, Storro had made an impulse purchase of a new pair of sunglasses just 20 minutes before the attack. She says that she doesn't normally wear sunglasses, but that decision may have saved her eyesight. "Why did you? Did you wake up that morning and go, 'I'm going to, I'm going to carry some acid in a cup and throw it at the first person that I see? Was it a dare? You know, why me?" Storro said to reporters Thursday at Portland, Oregon's Legacy Emanuel Hospital. "God is watching over me. ... I believe in him," she added. "That his hands are on me and I can't live the rest of my life like that - in fear. I can't let what she did to me wreck me life." Similar attacks are more common in countries like Cambodia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, where women are attacked by men who feel emasculated because of marriage refusal or sexual disgrace. These attacks -- whatever the motivation may be -- are increasingly occurring in western countries. Brad Garrett, ABC News consultant and former FBI Profiler says that 80 percent of acid attacks are perpetrated by men, but in cases of women attackers, the motivations are similar. "You're talking about rage, power and anger as the primary motivators," Garrett told "Good Morning America." "The perpetrator wants the person to suffer for the rest of their lives. These crimes are actually evil." "The motivations are about something that a person has done that another does not like," Garrett added. "I think if you look at high profile crime, there will be copycats afterwards. People use it as a justification to commit an act they have been thinking about." http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=53d_1365382895 Pakistan_Has_Nukes Acid attacks increasing in the USA usa Sun, 07 Apr 2013 20:55:23 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b31_1365382454 Pakistan_Has_Nukes Bethany Storro had just bought a pair of sunglasses and was celebrating a new job when a woman walked up to her with a cup and said: "Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?" The woman then splashed acid in the cup on Storro, who stumbled in pain and fell to the ground screaming. She felt agonizing pain as the skin on her face bubbled and sizzled and portions of her blouse disintegrated. "It was the most painful thing ever," Storro, 28, said Thursday. "My heart stopped. It ripped through my clothing the instant it touched my shirt; I could feel it burning through my second layer of skin." Story: Acid attacker: 'Hey pretty girl, do you want to drink this?' Police are seeking the woman in the Monday attack as Storro, with her head wrapped in white bandages, recounted Thursday how only days before, she had been celebrating a new job and a recent move to Vancouver, Wash., from Idaho.

Storro said she had spinal meningitis twice as a child, which robbed her of most of her hearing. "Oh my gosh, to be hard of hearing and blind? That would drive them nuts," she said, laughing and pointing at her parents, Joe and Nancy Neuwelt. "They have to be in the same room for me to hear them. I'm just so glad it's a miracle." Advertise AdChoices Doctors at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland performed surgery on Storro's face Wednesday night, removing dead skin from the areas that were most deeply injured. AP Bethany Storro is shown before surgery at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center.Her mother said Storro was getting something out of her car before heading into a Starbucks when the woman approached her with the cup. Storro told police the attacker was a black woman with slicked-back hair in a ponytail, wearing a green top and khaki pants. "I have never, ever seen this girl in my entire life," Storro said. "When I first saw her, she had this weirdness about her - like jealousy, rage." After the attack, the woman ran off. A passer-by called police using Storro's cell phone. Dr. Nick Eshraghi, a burn surgeon who operated on Storro, said it was an acid as strong as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Storro said she wanted to find her assailant and ask: "Why?" Was it was a dare, or did the woman wake up Monday morning and tell herself that today, she was going to "carry some acid in a cup and throw it on the first person I see?" Storro said. Most popular Storro said she has received letters and e-mails from people all over the country, and has been relying on her friends, family and faith to get her through this ordeal. Nancy Neuwelt called the attack "an act of evil." Joe Neuwelt said the family hopes the attacker is found, but is focused on Storro's recovery. "You can imagine how I feel," Joe Neuwelt said. "This is my little girl. We're going to get through this we're not going to allow this to stop our lives. We're going to get through it." Meanwhile, the Vancouver Columbian newspaper reported that law enforcement officials in Vancouver had spoken to officials in another city about a similar attack. The paper said a police lieutenant from Puyallup, Wash., south of Seattle, said his department had spoken to Vancouver officials about the July 30 incident. In that attack, 23-year-old woman was approached in an apartment complex parking lot by a man who said he'd been locked out of his apartment and needed water for his vehicle. When she returned with a container of water for him, the suspect threw on acidic substance on her using a cup. The woman suffered severe chemical burns to her face and eyes. Police described the suspect in that case as a husky black man about 5-foot-10 with two distinctive marks on his right cheek. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=b31_1365382454 Pakistan_Has_Nukes American woman in acid attack recounts agonizing pain usa Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:43:56 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=951_1363606851 LostRothschild The five minute NRA speech that would change the gun control debate forever . Editor's note: Author Scott Pinsker is a marketing and publicity expert who writes occasionally for Fox News Opinion. This is his vision of a speech he would like to see delivered by leaders at the National Rifle Association. It has not been delivered by the NRA. Greetings. My name is Wayne LaPierre, and I'm the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. After the national tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, it was my hope that Red America and Blue America would finally come together and try to solve a serious problem, because protecting our children from violent madmen isn't a conservative position or a liberal position; it's a common-sense position. Sadly, instead of offering new solutions, the same anti-gun zealots who've always hated the Second Amendment have politicized the deaths of kindergartners, adopting the Rahm Emanuel tactic of "Never letting a good crisis go to waste." Anti-gun newspapers have even published the names and private addresses of law-abiding gun-owners - something they would NEVER do to sex offenders, drug addicts, wife-beaters, AIDS victims, welfare recipients or women who've had an abortion - and rightly so. The Sandy Hook tragedy, the Virginia Tech shooting, the Aurora "Batman" shooting, the Tucson shooting - all of the killers were mentally unstable young men who were prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs. The NRA tried to help: Since we protect our president, vice president, governors, senators, judges, banks, hospitals, office buildings and jewelry stores with armed guards, why does it make sense to protect our schoolchildren with a small sign that says, "This Is a Gun Free Zone" - and then hope that someone with a gun can get there quickly if there's an emergency? Why do we have armed guards at middle school and high school football games - but not at the actual middle schools or high schools? But this still doesn't do enough to protect our children. The time for partisanship is over; now is the time for action. And that's why the NRA is requesting the assistance of the ACLU. The Sandy Hook tragedy, the Virginia Tech shooting, the Aurora "Batman" shooting, the Tucson shooting - all of the killers had something in common: They were all mentally unstable young men who were prescribed mind-altering psychiatric drugs. These killers didn't purchase their guns illegally, or watch Fox News, or circumvent background checks by attending gun shows. They didn't have prior convictions or troubling police records. That's not the common denominator. The common denominator is that these young men were sick - and everyone knew it. The ACLU has done more than any other organization to protect the legal rights of mentally sick people. This is a fact. Because of the ACLU, mentally sick people can refuse medical treatment or psychiatric care, even when their mental condition has left them homeless and penniless. Even in situations like Adam Lanza, the 20-year-old Sandy Hook killer, whose own mother, according to reports, was unable to mandate medical treatment for her son. The NRA doesn't hate the mentally ill. They deserve our compassion and our help. But sick young men have spilled far too much innocent blood. This simply cannot continue. The NRA is hereby inviting the ACLU to join us on a study to find common-sense solutions that will prevent violent madmen from harming our children. And then together, it's our hope that the NRA and the ACLU will offer these solutions directly to President Obama. This won't be easy. It's anathema to the NRA to deny any law-abiding American the right to bear arms, just as it's anathema to the ACLU to deny any American the same civil liberties of his neighbors. But despite our personal biases, there must be a solution that's better than the status quo! An inspirational politician once declared that there isn't a Red America and a Blue America, or a black America and a white America - there's the United States of America. As Americans, let's come together, rise above the rhetoric, and actually do something that protects our children. Thank you.

Corsi, a Harvard Ph.D A prominent member of Chicago's homosexual community claims Barack Obama's participation in the "gay" bar and bathhouse scene was so well known that many who were aware of his lifestyle were shocked when he ran for president and finally won the White House."It was preposterous to the people I knew then to think Obama was going to keep his gay life secret," said Kevin DuJan, who was a gossip columnist in Chicago for various blogs when Obama was living in the city as a community organizer and later a state senator."Nobody who knew Obama in the gay bar scene thought he could possibly be president," said DuJan. DuJan, founder and editor of the Hillary Clinton-supporting website HillBuzz.org, told WND he has first-hand information from two different sources that "Obama was personally involved in the gay bar scene." "If you just hang out at these bars, the older guys who have been frequenting these gay bars for 25 years will tell you these stories," DuJan said. "Obama used to go to the gay bars during the week, most often on Wednesday, and they said he was very much into older white guys." Obama, DuJan said, is "not heterosexual and he's not bisexual. He's homosexual." Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen, who worked with the National Security Agency from 1984 to 1988 as a Navy intelligence analyst, confirmed DuJan's claims."It is common knowledge in the Chicago gay community that Obama actively visited the gay bars and bathhouses in Chicago while he was an Illinois state senator," Madsen told WND. WND also spoke with a member of the East Bank Club in Chicago, who confirmed Obama was a member there and was known to be a homosexual. The upscale fitness club, which has some 10,000 members, is not a "gay" facility. But it's one of a number of places identified by the Chicago homosexual community as a "gay gym," where homosexuals meet and engage in sexual activity. In April, WND reported a federal judge dismissed a libel case against Larry Sinclair, a homosexual who claimed Obama's 2008 presidential campaign had paid to rig a polygraph test regarding Sinclair's sensational charge that he had sex and used cocaine twice with Obama while Obama was an Illinois state senator. Sinclair tells his story in "Barack Obama &amp; Larry Sinclair: Cocaine, Sex, Lies &amp; Murder." WND also reported former radical activist John Drew has said that when he met Obama when Obama was a student at Occidental College, he thought Obama and his then-Pakistani roommate were "gay" lovers. In addition, rumors have swirled around Obama's relationship with his personal aide and former "body man," Reggie Love, who resurfaced on the eve of the Republican National Convention to support his old boss . Love resigned from the White House in November 2011 after compromising photographs of him as a college student received wide circulation. WND also has documented in two separate articles, here and here, that Obama wore a gold band on his wedding ring finger from the time he attended Occidental College through his student days at Harvard Law School. DuJan said that during Obama's first presidential campaign, "there was fear in the gay community" about talking openly about Obama being homosexual, particularly after the murder in December 2007 of Donald Young, the openly gay choir director at Jeremiah Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ, who was known to be a close friend of Obama. "People did not want to talk openly about Obama being gay," he said. "Then, when we saw how Larry Sinclair was demonized, anybody who would expose Obama worried they would be silenced if they dared to speak the truth about Obama's gay life," DuJan said. 'Obama's secrets' DuJan said he has been told "Obama's secrets would have to come out just like John Edwards' secrets came out." He said Obama stopped going to gay bars and bathhouses in Chicago when he began running for the U.S. Senate in 2004. "Back then, Obama could walk around Chicago and people generally wouldn't recognize him, even though he was a state senator in the Illinois assembly at the time," DuJan said. DuJan insisted that while he's a supporter of Hillary Clinton, he holds no personal animus toward Obama. He said he campaigned for Clinton in 2008 "because I had waited for years for her to be able to run." "I opposed Obama not because I'm a racist, or that I hate Obama, I just knew the type of person Obama associated with in Chicago," he said. He pointed to Obama's association with convicted Chicago real estate magnate Tony Rezko, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Wright. "Obama was a dirty politician that the media never wanted to vet - that's what concerned me about Obama," Du Jan said. DuJan spoke further of his claims about Obama in an interview Monday night on Andrea Shea King's show on BlogTalkRadio.com , which included questions from WND during the last half of the show. Man's Country Madsen published an article in his Wayne Madsen Report in May 2010 claiming Obama and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel were members of the same bathhouse in Chicago. "President Obama and his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel are lifetime members of the same gay bathhouse in uptown Chicago, according to informed sources in Chicago's gay community, as well as veteran political sources in the city," Madsen wrote. He said the bathhouse, "Man's Country," catered "to older men," noting "it has been in business for some 30 years and is known as one of uptown Chicago's 'grand old bathhouses.'" Madsen wrote his 2010 report after traveling to Chicago to interview bartenders and customers at several "gay" bars. DuJan gave WND a list of "gay" bars in Chicago where older customers hang out and tell stories about how Obama, prior to 2004, frequented visited to pick up men for sex, including several on Halstead Street, widely known as an "uber-gay Chicago street . Writing in HillBuzz.org Tuesday , DuJan said rooms at Man's Country bathhouse are still referred to as the "presidential suite," or the "Oral Office," because "the current President used to haunt the place when he was a just another Illinois state senator that no one had ever heard of or cared about." DuJan said he believes that, someday, "all of this is going to be as public knowledge as JFK's affair with Marilyn Monroe and the other women he cavorted with while married to Jackie." "Someday," he said, "in the next 10-20 years, everyone will know all about Man's Country, and the place will no doubt get a plaque of sometime commemorating that place as a gay hangout for the future leader of the free world." http://www.wnd.com/2012/09/claim-obama-hid-gay-life-to-become-president/ http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8b3_1363206565 dfaugust Claim: Obama hid 'gay life' to become president obama, homosexual, democrrats, propagandist leftwing media Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:54:59 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d5d_1362970215 Detroit Iron Lisa Putnam is a fifth grade teacher in the Chicago Public School system. She and her students were very excited about participating in the Michelle Obama's Let's Move kickoff even in the Windy City. The event was being held at the McCormick Place, billed as the largest convention center in all of North America. Their day of fun and excitement turned out to be anything but fun and exciting. The students spent over 7-8 hours without food for what turned out to be nothing more than a commercial for Michelle Obama who literally ignored the 6,000 kids brought in for the event. When Obama took the podium, she never faced the kids. Instead, she faced the cameras and media covering the event. Putnam, a supporter of the First Lady was so appalled by what happened that she felt compelled to write about what happened. This is what she wrote: "If you are a parent, imagine that you take your child on a trip and they are very excited. Now imagine they have to wait on a bus and stand in straight lines for three hours straight. Then imagine after one hour of "fun" that they have to sit around and wait for three more hours that bus to pick them up. Oh, did I mention that are not allowed to have a morsel of food the entire time? Now, multiply that by 25 to 35. Sounds fun right?! That's a little bit what the day was like for CPS students, parents and teachers at the Let's Move! Campaign." "When offered the chance to participate in the Let's Move! campaign, I thought it would be a lot of fun and jumped at the chance. After all, my students have been working very hard to prepare for next week's ISAT test and deserved a to let loose a little. Had I known what this event entailed, I would have definitely taken a pass. "The day began with the buses picking us up from our school. As we arrived at McCormick Place, we passed bus after bus after bus, full of students. Our bus took its place at the end of that line, and we waited for over 45 minutes to reach our destination. I thought the 90 total minutes in a school bus full of children would be the extent of my stress, but I was a bit naive at this point." "As we entered McCormick place we were ushered immediately to metal detectors and our bags were searched. We didn't bring food or drink as was requested, so the security check went by flawlessly. Then we waited in another line, this time for t-shirts. When my 10 year old students received their XL men's t-shirts, I did my best to tell them with a straight face that the shirts would shrink and the girls could maybe wear them as a dress." "We were moved to a location in a large concrete room with thousands of children. We were told to keep our students in three straight quiet lines. The students stood there for almost an hour. Then, the students were ushered into a giant room with a stage and told they had to be very quiet, that there was a "surprise in there for them." 6,000 kids quiet? Good luck guy. As the students went into the room, they were all assigned to stand in different areas. The students framed the stage on three sides and the media was seated on the four side of the rectangular square. As the commercial, I mean event, began each athlete was introduced. They all had a 1-2 minute motivational speech that was so cheesy that none of the athletes really seemed to connect with the students and the messages did not resonate. It seemed like one giant Nike advertisement. Finally, the first lady came out. Although she was stunning and her message was powerful, her back was to the children. She was facing the media. I couldn't help wondering, who is this event really for? Then I realized my students were just a backdrop to this campaign/commercial." "Finally, the exercise program began. I enjoyed watching Bo Jackson trying to keep up with the squat twists and Rahm Emanuel's teeny tiny t-shirt. My students were not enjoying it at all. Not because they are not fit, because it was 1 pm (2 hours past their usual lunch time). They were dropping like flies, most of my students were sitting on the ground by the time Jordin Sparks started singing." "Around 1:30 pm the concert was over, everyone was corralled back into the very large room we started in and went back to where we were originally waiting. They began calling buses, starting with 1-10. Imagine my thinking when I looked down at my wrist band and saw "bus 291." The next two and a half hours broke my heart as my students continually came up to me to tell me that they were hungry and ask why this was happening. We teachers feel responsible for our students and there was nothing we could do but wait. We were at the mercy of this poorly run event. Some students entertained themselves by making their t-shirts into a ball and throwing them around, some laid down on the ground miserably. My pregnant coworker was dehydrated and hadn't eaten in 10 hours. It was mentally and physically exhausting for every teacher, parent and student stuck at McCormick Place. Many of the parent chaperones had to make various arrangements for their younger students that they could no longer pick up from school. Many of our students are responsible for their younger siblings and our school had to make arrangements for these children. Some of those parents had worked the night before, and had to go back to work when we returned. The after school programs we teach were either cancelled or taken over by other teachers." "At 3:52 we finally departed from McCormick Place, exhausted, deflated, and hungry. This event was clearly not about the children, because their needs were not put first. Politics and big business before children; was this event an eerie foreshadowing of what is to come for education in Chicago?" Obama wasn't there for the sake of the kids, she was there to get publicity for herself and to say, 'See what I'm doing to help solve obesity.' In fact, if you compare photos of the Michelle Obama taken just prior to her moving into the White House with current ones, you will see that she has definitely added on a few inches and pounds. Perhaps she needs to take action with her own weight issue before she tries to force action on others. This is another prime example that neither of the Obamas care about the American people. If you ever watch Michelle Obama's facial expressions during many public events, she continually has a look of haughty disgust for all of the lowly peons around her. Michelle's actions were obviously so self-centered that it incensed a loyal supporter like Lisa Putnam.

There exists a plethora of confirming information to support the fact that America's days may be numbered and that we are totally unprepared for what is coming. Russia, through the traitorous cooperation and complicity of President Obama, is positioning its assets in order to attack Alaska. Before I piece together the many elements of the planned Russian "surprise attack", it is important for America to understand that it takes a communist to bring communism to America. Obama was bred by communists, raised by communists, educated at the finest schools with communist money, his political career was launched by communists and his controllers in the White House are communists. Part one of this series will clearly establish the fact that Obama is the lynchpin of a multigenerational plan to hand America over to the Russians and to the Chinese communists. Obama did not just wake up one day and decide to weaken American defenses and hand over the country to the Russian communists. Obama was groomed for this position for the past several years. He is indeed the right communist, at the right time, whose mission is to bring America the most crippling form of communism the world has ever seen. Russian Defectors Have Warned the US About This Moment High-profile Soviet defectors have been telling American intelligence agencies for decades that the Russians have engaged in a multigenerational plot to destabilize America prior to the takeover in which both the Russians and the Chinese will unleash a ferocious military assault upon our country. The high-ranking defector, Sergei Tretyakov,who repeatedly warned Americans that Russia's core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to destroy the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to "wake up" the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union. His death was reported as a cardiac event, however, his family remains suspicious. Tretyakov joined a plethora of others who defected from the former Soviet Union in order to warn the American people about a planned attack sponsored by the Russian government with assistance from within the American government. LEGENDARY RUSSIAN SPY SERGEI TRETYAKOV DEAD AFTER YEARS OF WARNING U.S. Posted by TCA STAFF On July - 17 - 2010 Sarasota County, FL - Esteemed double agent and former Russian spy Sergei Tretyakov died on June 13th of massive cardiac arrest, according to Pete Earley , his biographer and friend. The spy defected from Russia after working as a double agent for the U.S. for several years, passing an estimated 5,000 secret SVR cables to the FBI along with more than 100 Russian intelligence reports, according to one U.S. intelligence official cited by Earley. Although a notoriously private person, Tretyakov shared some of his secrets in the late 90's when he published "Comrade J: The Untold Secrets of Russia's Master Spy In America After The End Of The Cold War". Although his death occurred near the middle of June, it wasn't announced until July 9th on Earley's website, reportedly because his family wished to conduct an autopsy and prevent the Russian government from using his death for propaganda purposes. The high-ranking defector repeatedly warned Americans that Russia's core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to destroy the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to "wake up" the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union. Prolific scholar and author J.R. Nyquist penned a fitting tribute to Tretyakov in his weekly column, writing "Tretyakov tried to warn the American people, but the American people didn't want to hear. Despite the fact that he was the subject of a best-selling book, Tretyakov's most important message was ignored by nearly everybody." Nyquist's tome was an appropriate literary representation of the media blackout imposed on Tretyakov's warnings, symptomatic of a larger Western tendency to accept the Russian government as peaceful and their intentions as benign. Tretyakov joins a litany of others who fled the former Soviet Union in order to warn the American people about the impending attack planned for them by the Russian government. Among others were Alexander Litvinenko, a Russian spy who was poisoned soon after speaking out, along with Anatoliy Golitsyn, Yuri Bezmenov, and Jan Sejna, to name a few. Speaking as the man who has become the face of the anti-Putin and pro-American defense movement, Nyquist ended his tribute with these solemn words: "I am obligated to say something, because nobody else seems willing to step up: The Russian government seeks to destroy the United States and dominate Europe. If we want to honor the memory of Sergei Tretyakov, we need to honor his message." Russia Is Preparing To Attack America by Dave Hodges - thecommonsenseshow.com February 26, 2013 - Conspiracy , Featured , Main , War Tagged: government , new world order , obama , petrodollar , police state , war - 17 comments United States has not been attacked on the home front for 200 years dating back to the War of 1812. There exists a plethora of confirming information to support the fact that America's days may be numbered and that we are totally unprepared for what is coming. Russia, through the traitorous cooperation and complicity of President Obama, is positioning its assets in order to attack Alaska. Before I piece together the many elements of the planned Russian "surprise attack", it is important for America to understand that it takes a communist to bring communism to America. Obama was bred by communists, raised by communists, educated at the finest schools with communist money, his political career was launched by communists and his controllers in the White House are communists. Part one of this series will clearly establish the fact that Obama is the lynchpin of a multigenerational plan to hand America over to the Russians and to the Chinese communists. Obama did not just wake up one day and decide to weaken American defenses and hand over the country to the Russian communists. Obama was groomed for this position for the past several years. He is indeed the right communist, at the right time, whose mission is to bring America the most crippling form of communism the world has ever seen. Russian Defectors Have Warned the US About This Moment High-profile Soviet defectors have been telling American intelligence agencies for decades that the Russians have engaged in a multigenerational plot to destabilize America prior to the takeover in which both the Russians and the Chinese will unleash a ferocious military assault upon our country. The high-ranking defector, Sergei Tretyakov, who repeatedly warned Americans that Russia's core government had never abandoned the Cold War and still aimed to destroy the United States. In his later years, he said his main goal was to "wake up" the American people to the deadly threat posed to them by the former Soviet Union. His death was reported as a cardiac event, however, his family remains suspicious. Tretyakov joined a plethora of others who defected from the former Soviet Union in order to warn the American people about a planned attack sponsored by the Russian government with assistance from within the American government. Former Soviet defector, Yuri Bezmenov, a well renowned media/propaganda expert defected to the United States. in 1970, and subsequently exposed the KGB's subversive tactics against American society. Yuri Bezmenov has conducted a number of interviews in which he explains how Marxist ideology is deconstructing America's values by controlling the media and which would ultimately serve to demoralize the country , destabilize the economy, and provoke crises in order to Sovietize the United States. Bezmenov is well known for revealing Russia 's doctrine of "ideological subversion", a slow, long-term multi-decade process of media-based brainwashing in which the sole purpose is to confuse, confound, and destroy the moral base of America. Can anyone argue that our country's values represent a debasement of our national sense of morality? Every perversion known to mankind in now honored in our media. Christians are out and hedonists are in. Loyal husbands and fathers are out and a philandering lifestyle is a honored "virtue." On this point, the Russians have won. Former Russian Colonel Stanislav Lunev has the distinction of being the highest ranking Russian military officer to defect to the United States after doing so in 1992, after Boris Yeltsin came to power. Lunev's information was considered to be so volatile, but accurate, that the CIA, DIA, FBI, NSA placed Lunev, where he remains to this day, in the FBI's Witness Protection Program. Lunev reported that Russia's military, despite "losing the cold war", continues in its war preparations which are designed to conquer the United States by stealth Anatoliy Golitsyn, a high-ranking KGB defector who fled to the United States in order to warn Americans about the secret Russian plan to attack the United States. Golitsyn is generally considered to be among the first and most revealing on the subject of the secret Russian plans to attack. Having authored the The Perestroika Deception in which Golitsyn wrote about the deceitful intent behind the Leninist strategy in which the present-day Communists are actively pursuing as they fake American style democratization efforts in Russia. According to Golitsyn, the short-term strategic objective of the Russians is to achieve a technological convergence with the West solely on Russian terms and mostly through a series of one-sided disarmament agreements. According to Golitsyn, after the United States military is eliminated as a strategic threat to Russia, the long-range strategic Russian plan is to pursue Lenin's goal of replacing nation states with collectivist model of regional governments as a stepping stone to global governance. In order to achieve their final goal, Golitsyn states that Russia, after lulling America to sleep, will join with China in order to attack the United States from both the outside and inside as he detailed that ... the Soviets and the Chinese will be officially reconciled and enact a "scissors strategy" in which China will attack the US through the southern border and Russia through northern border by way of Alaska. As the reader will clearly see in the following paragraphs, Obama is the catalyst in making these long-range communist plans come to fruition. Obama the Communist Obama has been surrounded by nothing but communists for all of his life. From Obama's real father, Frank Marshall Davis , to the husband and wife communist terrorist team of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn from the Weathermen Underground terrorist organization, Obama has known nothing but Marxist communist philosophy in his formative years. The late Senator, Joseph McCarthy, is rolling over in his grave due to the fact that a sitting President has such a retrograde pattern of communist associations and still managed to attain the presidency. Former FBI Weatherman Task Force supervisor, Max Noel, notes that the FBI utilized a CARL test when it conducted background checks on various suspects. The acronym CARL stands for Character, Associates, Reputation, and Loyalty used to assess candidates fitness to hold the highest office in the country. On each of these four points of power, Obama fails and fails miserably. Like many FBI law enforcement agents and officials, Noel was alarmed by the fact that someone like Barack Obama could capture the presidency. For some unexplained reason, Obama was never vetted before he became a candidate for the presidency by the FBI. This is an unacceptable result of our national security system and is wholly suggestive of internal plot to allow the installation of a blatantly communist advocate into the highest political position in America. Today, many people have been in a position to now vet the President after Obama's four years of "fundamentally transforming America". This particular series will continue to connect the dots of the secretive and nefarious communist background of Barack Hussein Obama and tie his associations, actions and internal belief system to a current coup d''etat which is close to capturing all of the vital elements of power in this country. Comrade Obama's ascension to the presidency has been a long time in the making. Interestingly, Barack Obama's past associates especially the communist terrorists which funded his Harvard legal education and ultimately launched his political career as an Illinois state senator, namely, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, have been in lockstep with Obama his entire adult life. However, Dohrn and Ayers were not the first to indoctrinate Obama with the Marxist communist philosophy. For that information, we have to begin with Frank Marshall Davis. Obama's real father, Frank Marshall Davis, was a member of the Communist Party and a former Soviet Agent who was under FBI investigation for a total of 19 years. In 1948, Davis moved from Chicago to Hawaii leaving behind a colleague named Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of Senior White House advisor, Valerie Jarrett. Yes, the Jarrett's are communists as well. Both Jarrett and Davis wrote for a left wing newspaper called the Chicago Defender in which they espoused a communist takeover of the United States Government. In 1971, Davis, according to Joel Gilbert, reunited with his then nine-year-old son, Barack Obama, and schooled him in the ways of being a good communist for the next nine years. Chicago Slum Lord, Valerie Jarrett White House advisers, David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, were both " Red Diaper Babies , in which they were the sons and daughters of well-to-do parents who desired communism and lived out their dreams through their children's revolutionary activities. Other notable red-diaper babies also included Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder. Jarrett's situation is particularly interesting in that her family and the Ayers family have been multigenerational friends which also included a marriage between the two families. Much of the Obama administration is a nest of communists and this should serve to gravely concern every American citizen. Following the nine years of mentoring and parenting by Frank Davis, Obama made some very important communist connections which ultimately led to him obtaining an impressive college education financed by some very familiar communist activists', namely, Tom Ayers, Con Ed CEO, and then his son Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. You remember Bill and Bernardine, don't you? Bill Ayers Mug Shot The Prairie Fire book was co-authored by Dohrn and Ayers, and, quite unbelievably, it was dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan, Robert Kennedy's assassin. Former FBI informant, While appearing on The Common Sense Show, Larry Grathwohl, revealed that he testified in a court of law that Ayers and Dohrn had direct involvement in a terrorist plot which killed San Francisco police sergeant, Brian V. McDonnell, by a bomb made and planted by these Weathermen Underground terrorists. Grathwohl also revealed that he asked Ayers, in a meeting of about 25 well-to do Weatherman, most with advanced degrees from Ivy League Universities, what the Weathermen planned to do when they achieved their goal of a communist take over the government. Grathwohl stated that Ayers paused for a moment and then said that it was likely that about 50 million Americans will have to be re-educated in concentration camps located in the American Southwest and that about 25 million would have to be eliminated, meaning that they would have to be murdered. Bill and Bernardine's Weather Underground had the support of Cuba, East German intelligence and the North Vietnamese. I believe that since Obama was able to secure a second term, and with the power granted to him by the NDAA, that he will fulfill Ayers' promise to Grathwohl to murder 25 million Americans who cannot be "re-educated". Obama's educational and political benefactors, Ayers and Dohrn, raised a son, Chesa Boudin, who worked for Hugo Chavez , communist dictator in charge of Venezuela. Chesa Boudin was the child of Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, members of a Weather Underground spin-off group who went to prison for an armored car robbery that resulted in the murders of two police officers and a security guard. Dohrn served seven months for her role in the robbery and this is the reason that she is ineligible to become bar certified as an attorney. Is anyone else uncomfortable with the fact that Ayers and Dohrn were the ones primarily responsible for educating Obama with communist funds and then subsequently launched his political career from their living room? Well, it is true, please read on. Allen Hulton, a 39 year veteran of the postal service, provided a sworn affidavit to Maricopa County, AZ. Sheriff investigators, led by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, in an effort toward determining whether or not former foreign college student, Barack Obama, is eligible to be placed on Arizona's 2012 election ballot. After reviewing Hulton's affidavit, it is apparent that Ayers and Dohrn were in fact the de facto adoptive parents to this foreign student destined to become the first illegitimate President of the United States. As a result, Obama was treated to the finest Ivy League education that communist backed money could buy as Hulton maintains that the Ayers' told him that they were financing the education of a promising foreign student at Harvard. Hulton also testified that he met Obama while at the Ayer's home and he asked Obama what he going to do with all his education, to which Obama politely answered, "I am going to become the President". Readers should take note that this is an affidavit, and as such, is formally considered to be evidence, not conjecture or hearsay. There can be no other conclusion that the communist terrorist, Bill Ayers, began grooming Obama to become America's first communist President during Obama's college years. Their relationship continues into the present time as it is on record that Ayers visited the White House in August of 2009. We also know that Obama's communist affiliations continued well into his adulthood because of the good work of Joel Gilbert who discovered that Obama was active with a Weathermen Underground support group known as The May 19th Communist Organization, in New York. Perhaps, this is why Ayers was visiting the White House. Frank Chapman, a communist activist and a member of the communist front group known as the World Peace Council. Chapman clearly used the term "mole" to describe Obama. He said Obama's political climb and subsequent success in the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries was "a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle." Chapman further stated that, "Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through. The Communist Party USA backs Obama to the hilt." It is clear that Obama is their man! America is at a serious crossroads. The United States is preparing to go to war with Iran and its allies, China and Russia, in a last ditch effort to save the Petrodollar scheme as opposed to letting China and Russia buy Iranian oil in gold. If America loses this struggle, the dollar will collapse. America's economy is in shambles and the country can ill-afford being purposely run into the ground by a series of red-diaper babies bent on the communist takeover of this country. There can be no doubt about it, Barack Obama is a traitor to this country. He is the culmination of a distinct and purposeful mufti-generational communist plot to install a communist dictator who would weaken this country to the point that it is very vulnerable to an outside Russian attack. Russian troops have infiltrated the United States and all signs in and around Alaska point to the fact that the Russian attack will commence through the Bering Strait and proceed southward into British Columbia, Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Part two of this series will explore the emerging evidence to support the belief that Alaska is about to be attacked by Russia. Director Q &amp; A Q &amp; A with Director Joel Gilbert Download Interview as PDF file Why does it matter who Barak Obama's father really is? Obama sold himself to America as the multi-cultural ideal, a man who stood above politics. His father was a goat herder from Kenya, he would bring people together, so it went. While voters will overlook some fudging by politicians, promoting a false family background to hide an agenda irreconcilable with American values is a totally unacceptable manipulation of the electorate. Admittedly, at age 18, Obama arrived at Occidental College a committed revolutionary Marxist. Dreams from My Real Father presents the case that Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA organizer and propagandist, was Obama's real father, both biological and ideological, and indoctrinated Obama with a political foundation in Marxism and an anti-White world view. This is a known phenomenon in the radical left, referred to as "Red Diaper Babies" or "hand-me-down Marxism." Much of the leadership of the SDS and Weather Underground were children of Communist Party USA members, including Katherine Boudin, Jeff Jones, and many more. David Axelrod is also a "Red Diaper Baby." What final conclusions have you made about President Obama? Until now, Barack Obama was perceived as a nice man with an inspiring family story. Now, it seems likely President Obama intentionally hid a deeply disturbing family background and a Marxist agenda. If this is true, he is no longer likeable. Unfortunately, Obama's style is to minimize, misdirect, and outright lie about damaging information about his past. I hope the media will now demand that he come clean about his family background, his political foundations, and fully reveal his agenda for transforming America. It's one thing for "journalists" to give Obama leeway because they support national health care, but providing cover for lies is scandalous and unjustifiable. If I could find evidence that Obama's real father was not the Kenyan Obama, so could foreign intelligence agencies. What does all this mean for US elections in 2012? Obama's election was not a sudden political phenomenon. It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that Frank Marshall Davis nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii, and has been quietly infiltrating the US economy, universities, and media for decades. "Problem solving" and "fair play" are the new code words that socialists employ in a determined strategy to move the Democratic party to the far left, and embrace socialism as their natural ideology. Obama's anti-democratic behavior, including consolidation of power through Czars, going around Congress, intimidating the Supreme Court, and class polarization tactics can be better understood after viewing Dreams from My Real Father. French historian Alexis DeToqueville, who traveled throughout our country in 1831, wrote that American democracy would always be in grave danger. American voters had no idea what Obama meant by "change." Obama now uses terms like "helping middle class families" and "fairness" to rally support. Simply speaking, bankrupt socialist economies do not have a middle class! They have just one big lower class with a handful of political elites controlling the wealth. To understand Obama's plans for America, look no further than Communist Frank Marshall Davis. How does your "Dreams" film compare to Obama's autobiography? My "Dreams" provides the first cohesive understanding of Obama's deep rooted life journey in socialism. It includes Obama's indoctrination in Marxism by Frank Marshall Davis, his college years, his job as "organizer," his involvement with Project Vote and the subprime mortgage crisis, the Ayers family, Alinsky and Reverend Wright, all the way to his campaigns and Presidency. Dreams from My Real Father is an alternate theory to Barack Obama's autobiography. The film narrative is based on both new and existing factual pillars, then presents reasoned logic, re-creations of probable events, and speculation for a complete story. Some dialogue is taken directly from Davis and Obama's writings, while some is approximated to bridge known facts. Viewers must judge the story for themselves. I believe they will agree that my "Dreams" is closer to reality than Obama's account, which more resembles a fairy tale. What new revelations are in Dreams from My Real Father ? First, I make the case that Barack Obama's real father was Communist Frank Marshall Davis. Next, the relationship between Davis and Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, is illustrated with seven indecent photographs of Dunham, some including other women, taken at Frank Marshall Davis' house in Honolulu. I was not happy to include these racy photos in the film, but found it necessary to substantiate the intimate relationship between them. Those photos ended up in a men's mail order catalog of nude women, likely sold to them by Davis. I placed black bars on parts of the photos to be respectful. Next, Obama's timeline of his early family life is debunked as false. Obama's mother returned to Seattle in late August of 1961, only a few weeks after his birth, and commenced studies at the University of Washington. The Kenyan Obama remained in Hawaii. The family did not split up when the he went to Harvard University a year later as President Obama has alleged. All evidence points to a "sham" marriage covering up an illegitimate pregnancy. In another example, while Obama cites a string of racial incidents in his childhood, according to high school friends, no such events occurred. Hawaii was a multi-racial society where Blacks were highly respected, referred to as "Royal Hawaiians." Another new issue is Obama's likely membership in the May 19th Communist Organization during his time at Columbia University in the early 1980's. What was the May 19th Communist Organization and how was Barack Obama involved? The May 19th Communist Organization was an above ground support group for the Weather Underground based in New York City from 1978-1985. 'May 19' carried out raucous anti-Apartheid and anti-Klan protests and operated a host of front organizations. At the time, Bill Ayers wrote that May 19 provided "a sea for the guerillas to swim in." Some May 19 members committed acts of violence and terrorism, such as the 1981 Nanuet Brinks robbery and murders, the bombing of South African offices in 1981, and the US Capital bombing in 1983. I spoke with a former FBI informant who told me the May 19th Communist Organization had a weapons training camp in the Catskill Mountains, run by former Black Panthers. In addition, some May 19 members were sent to Cuba for several weeks each year with the Venceremos Brigades, a continuation of the SDS/Weather Underground program begun in the sixties, for explosives training from Cuban intelligence, DGI. A former May 19 member I spoke with identified Obama as participating in their public protests and meetings. In his "Dreams" book, Obama mentions transferring to Columbia to pursue his interest in activism and recounts attendance at some events similar to those sponsored by May 19. How did you come to investigate President Obama's life history? I have a background in Middle East and Islamic studies and in 2010 wrote and directed a film called Atomic Jihad: Ahmadinejad's Coming War and Obama's Politics of Defeat. While reviewing video of over 200 Obama speeches for that film, I noticed an odd pattern. When speaking of issues relating to the rich and the poor, Obama became very excited, speaking rapidly and louder, always in a higher pitch. On other subjects, he was quite calm. Why would Obama have an inner passion for class struggle? From my knowledge of his background, exclusive prep school, Ivy Leagues, Harvard Law - it didn't seem to fit. I then read his autobiography, Dreams from My Father , and noticed numerous references to Obama seeking out Marxist professors and friends, emulating Malcolm X, attending socialist conferences, and organizing. It was a life journey in socialism! Plus, of his visits to Communist Frank Marshall Davis' house with his grandfather, Obama wrote, "it was as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men." I decided to investigate Frank Marshall Davis. His close physical resemblance to Obama was shocking, while Obama little resembled the Kenyan Obama. How could this be? Next, I unearthed two film archives of Frank Marshall Davis, one from 1973, the other from 1987, as well as Davis' photo collection. I then acquired 500 copies of the Honolulu Record, the Communist run newspaper where Davis wrote a weekly political column for eight years. I also obtained seven indecent photos of Ann Dunham, Obama's mother, taken at Frank Marshall Davis' house, suggesting an intimate connection between Dunham and Davis. I concluded that to understand Obama's plans for America, the question was "Who is the real father?" Coming Russian Nuclear Sneak Attack on America Image : Video grab map of the cities seen annihilated by nuclear strikes. Henry Gruver December 14, 1985 I saw a massive military movement coming out of an area up by the Arctic. And I couldn't figure out what this was, what was going on. WHY a military, Navy, and Air Force WHY it would be going out between the United States and Europe up above Finland going out through the Icelandic Gap and heading down between the United States and Europe. And making a curl all the way around the Horn of Africa towards the Persian Gulf. Now that's significant. But all of a sudden I was alarmed because of that, you would have been too. I looked over towards the United States and I saw something I have never seen in my life, I have never even preconceived the thought of it. I had always thought that the United States was WISER and MORE POWERFUL than to allow Russian subs to be parked right almost on our beaches per say. What I mean by that is you could see the submarines down under the water but there were areas that the sand still had drifted on down from the beaches into the depths. And the submarine was sitting there aimed at America. I saw them sprinkled all the way across the East coast. When I saw that, my family at that time lived in Portland, Oregon. I was alarmed of course and I wanted to look over towards Portland to see what was going on. And as I looked across the continent of the United States of this globe I saw the submarines from way up by Washington the top of Washington all the way down around towards San Diego poised in the same way all the way along our coast on the North from the Pacific side. Than something else caught my Attention. I began to see Radio Towers going up all across the Nation and these Radio towers as they went up (dut dut-dut dut) the dotted lines begin going out as though they were transmitting and than there an alarm went off in me. They're sounding the alarm. We're going to be under attack. The siege has been waged. When all of a sudden I was watching these Radio Dots going out like the transmitting of a warning and instead of the people being warned they sprinkled to the ground like dust. And an alarm went off in me and I cried out in the Heavens and I said "Oh God THEY WON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HIT THEM !!!" And at that time all of a sudden I looked down on the eastern seaboard at the submarine was drawn to that one right off from New York City and I saw the missile come right out of that submarine and go right up and come right over the City of New York and the entire City disappears. Then I looked down, on down towards Florida, down there I could see another explosion take place. I looked across because of my family being in the Pacific Northwest. I looked across another explosion took place up by Seattle/Bellevue. And then another one down by San Francisco. and another one down towards Los Angeles, and another down towards San Diego. There I stood in shock as I watching these explosions take place and these cities literally disappearing from off the face of the earth. The next instant I was standing back down on the Eagle Tower and I found myself looking down in the Village there was no alarm going off, the cars were going the normal speed, people were walking. I looked out over the Bay where there were some British ships; warships. And I watched them and studied them for a few seconds, there was no alarm there. And I found myself saying this, "Oh God, if this has not happened. What will be the sign of it and of it's Time?" God spoke to my spirit and these were the words He says December the 14th, 1986 before Glasnost, Perestroika the Berlin Wall was still up the Cold War was still in full around. We supposedly were still on alert. The words were spoken to me, "When Russia opens her gates and lets the masses go. The free world will occupy themselves with transporting, housing, and caring for the masses. We'll begin letting their weapons down crying peace and safety. And that's when it will happen" Now the question I submit to you is this: Where are we on that scenario? Where are we in that Prophetic Timetable? Is that Vision being fulfilled before our eyes? Are we seeing it literally take place? The Bear Has Become Enormous and the Bear is in cahoots with the Arab countries 12 to 14 of them and there is high activity in and out of sight. It's January of this year it looked like we were going to build up again and have another Desert Storm didn't it? And I cried out to the LORD because I was getting ready to go to Europe and the LORD said "Tell the people that this is not the real thing this is only a Policing Action. There will be Policing actions but WATCH. Because that it will happen what you said". And I said we will be drawn again to the Middle East in mass. We will be drawn to conflicts like Bosnia and like Taiwan and like North Korea. Conflicts are going to come up to draw us away from Home Base to deplete our Home Defense mechanism. That's the Strategy. Than Revolution breaks loose inside of our Nation. Why? To throw us into CHAOS AND CONFUSION Because out of CONFUSION AND CHAOS THE COMMUNIST SYSTEM says they gain Strength and Power. And I've shown you that in the mentality of these people. They don't mind Revolution. They don't mind it at all. This is some of the things that we are facing. We're facing very Serious Times. Undetected Russian submarine in US waters teaches Washington a lesson In June-July, the Akula-class submarine, an attack warship capable of carrying long-range ballistic missiles, travelled in the Gulf of Mexico patrolling the US coast. The US satellites and hydro-acoustic sensors failed to spot it. The US Navy spotted only the submarine's tail when it was leaving the waters of the Gulf. Without breaking international law a Russian nuclear-powered submarine has successfully accomplished its training mission near the coast of the US. The submarine, which is equipped with long-range cruise missiles, shuttled for one month in the Gulf of Mexico without being detected by the US Navy, Washington Free Beacon reports citing unnamed high ranking sources in the Pentagon. The US Navy detected the submarine only when it was leaving the waters of the Gulf. Without violating international legislation and the sovereignty of another state the Russian Navy has managed to accomplish several tactical and strategic tasks. First, the crew has completed a successful training mission. Second, the Russian military forces have received data about the routes of the US submarines and ships in the Gulf. Russia has also showed the US that an absolutely flawless security system does not exist, Vladimir Yevseyev, head of the Center of social and political studies, said: "This is a good lesson for the US, demonstrating that it should not pursue its foreign policy interests all over the world using force. Other states also have some military potential. If the US pursues its national interests only by means of force a boomerang effect will take place. The US should realize that it is also vulnerable because the anti-missile system is not efficient enough when it comes to cruised missiles, that can fly at low altitudes. Nuclear submarines carry cruise missiles, that cannot be detected using conventional means designed for repelling ballistic missiles attacks. Cruise missiles create a breach in anti-missile defense. They show that an ideal anti-missile system does not exist. This destroys the image of the US' invincibility, which backs its policy of all permissiveness on the global arena." While Russian military experts are congratulating each other on the successful mission, the US' inability to spot a submarine aroused concerns in the military circles. So far there have been no official statements from the US authorities and the military. But it is unlikely that the information leak was accidental. By disclosing this information the Pentagon is trying to convince the Congress not to reduce expenditure on military needs, Alexander Kramchikhin, expert with the Institute of political and military studies, says: "I don't doubt that this information was disclosed in connection with the budget. Now significant cuts of the US military budget are under way and this campaign is aimed at preventing budget cuts in the Navy." Akula is a multi-purpose submarine of the Russian Navy, which is distinguished by a high level of stealth. Russia has produced 15 submarines of this class and transferred one of them to India. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=094_1362188178 Eternal Agony Russia Is Preparing To Attack America - Russian Sneak Nuclear Attack Warning Russia, nuclear attack, submarines, USA Mon, 25 Feb 2013 18:21:21 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=58f_1361834095 Detroit Iron February 25, 2013 6:49am By Quinn Ford , DNAinfo Reporter/Producer UNIVERSITY VILLAGE - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan told thousands of followers Sunday he was planning to reach out to gang leaders to help "protect" the Nation of Islam. That came at the Nation of Islam's annual Saviours' Day convention. Farrakhan , 79, renewed the call for African Americans to pool money and buy as much land as possible, in order to "control means of production" and produce food and other goods, such as clothing. Farrakhan said collectively owning land is a way for black people in America to prosper economically. The calls were part of a speech that lasted more than three hours and touched on topics including Libya's Moammar Gadhafi , U.S. Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel and a national push for gun control. Farrakhan told a crowd of more than 7,000 people at the UIC Pavilion that national lawmakers are using Chicago's violence epidemic to push for stronger gun control laws but said the Second Amendment has nothing to do with the spate of shootings in Chicago. "The guns that every one of our young people have, are they legal? No!" Farrakhan said. Instead, Farrakhan had a different idea for how to address gun violence. In addition to sending letters to black military leaders, Farrakhan said he planned to contact the city's gang leaders to recruit gang members to "protect" any land the Nation of Islam might buy in the future. "All you gangbangers, we know you love to shoot, but you're killing yourselves," Farrakhan said. "All your weapons are illegal and you're using them like savages." But Farrakhan said gangbangers are "natural soldiers" and could be taught "the science of war" to become protectors of the Nation of Islam's assets in the future. On Monday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel weighed in on Farrakhan's gang plan. "I don't think gang members are part of public safety," Emanuel said during a news conference . "They're the problem. And it's quite clear they're the problem." Last summer , Farrakhan led 500 men known as the Fruit of Islam, who traditionally serve in his security detail, to the city's Auburn Gresham neighborhood in response to the spike in violence in the first half of 2012. He praised the re-election of President Barack Obama as a significant historical milestone, but added that Obama's victory would not mean prosperity for black people. Farrakhan also decried the death of Gadhafi, who was killed in 2011. He blamed the former Libyan leader's death on American and European governments, saying they wanted Gadhafi dead because he was an "impediment" to American and European interests having access to natural resources in Africa. Farrakhan said he believes the American government also wanted to see black leaders like himself go away. "You killed my brother , and now you got the same thing in your mind for me," Farrakhan thundered as the crowd rose to its feet applauding. "You want to put your hands on me. In fact, you're plotting it as I'm speaking." Regarding Hagel, Farrakhan said the Senate was holding up his confirmation because Hagel did not express unconditional support for Israel. He said Israeli lobbyists are applying pressure to senators to reject Hagel. Farrakhan said the country needs a Defense secretary like Hagel, who will follow his own conscience.

Through two presidential campaigns and his first term, President Obama and his political surrogates lied to the American people, claiming Obama supports the Second Amendment. In the last presidential debate of 2012, he even repeated his false claim of allegiance to the Second Amendment as he announced his support for a gun ban. Now, we see the real Obama. After the horrific murders of schoolchildren in Connecticut, he assigned Vice President Joe Biden to put together an agenda for new gun control. Biden even went through the motions of meeting with gun owners' groups, including the NRA. However, that meeting made clear that the administration was not really interested in real solutions to protect our children and our communities, but only in pursuing the long-sought goals of the gun ban crowd. On Jan. 16, Obama announced his upcoming gun control agenda . Below is the heart of what Obama wants Congress to pass: A ban on all private firearms transfers, even between lifelong friends. A ban on commonly owned semi-automatic firearms, far stricter than the ban that expired in 2004. A ban, once again, on standard-capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, even as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo successfully pushed for a seven-round limit in his state. These proposals are nothing new, of course. They are the core of what anti-gun groups and politicians have wanted for years. And the results won't be new, either. Just as a semi-auto and magazine ban had no impact on crime in the 1990s, a new ban will not stop criminals and madmen today. Nor will a fundamentally unenforceable ban on private transfers stop felons from stealing guns or trading on the black market, just as they do today. What it will do is set the stage for the next step: federal gun registration. When that happens, gun ownership will no longer be a right. Obama also took several actions under his executive powers that should be of concern to gun owners. One of those was an order to the Centers for Disease Control to resume spending taxpayers' dollars to conduct research on gun issues. Congress has passed legislation that bans the CDC from using taxpayer money to advocate for new gun laws. That restriction does not stop legitimate research, but the reality was that much of the CDC's output in the 1990s was more propaganda than science. This new assault on our rights was no surprise. Obama has supported massive restrictions on Second Amendment rights throughout his political career. Now that he has faced the voters for the last time, he no longer is constrained by the potential political fallout from taking action against gun owner's rights. Rahm Emanuel's famous assertion, that no crisis should go to waste, may as well be the motto of the Obama Administration. Fortunately, as much as I am sure he would like to, Obama cannot simply impose his will on the people. To pass the worst of his agenda, he'll need support from Congress. Today, every gun owner needs to contact his or her U.S. Senators and congressman, and urge them to oppose these new attacks on the Second Amendment. The murders in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School were beyond tragic. No one sees that more than the moms and dads, and sons and daughters, who make up the NRA. But using the despicable act of a deranged man to advance long-held anti-gun political goals is equally deplorable. That's especially so when those solutions will make us no safer, and much less free. Chris W.

Steward, owner of the Kronk Gym in Detroit and an International Boxing Hall of Fame trainer, died Thursday. He was 68. His executive assistant, Victoria Kirton, said Steward died Thursday at a Chicago hospital. She didn't disclose the cause of death. "It is not often that a person in any line of work gets a chance to work with a legend, well I was privileged enough to work with one for almost a decade," Klitschko said Thursday. "I will miss our time together. The long talks about boxing, the world, and life itself. Most of all I will miss our friendship." Steward, whose father was a coal miner and mother was a seamstress, was born in West Virginia. He got boxing gloves as a Christmas present at the age of 8, the start of what would become a long career in the sweet science. He moved to the Motor City just before becoming a teenager and trained as an amateur boxer at Brewster Recreation Center, which once was the home gym of Joe Louis. Steward, at the age of 18, won the national Golden Gloves tournament as a bantamweight. Instead of trying to make it as a professional boxer, he went to work for the Detroit Edison Co. and in 1971 accepted a part-time position as head coach - for $35 per week - of the boxing program at the Kronk Recreation Center. A dynasty was born. The Kronk's first professional champion was Hilmer Kenty, a lightweight from Columbus, Ohio, who started training there in 1978 and won the WBA title two years later. But It was Hearns who really put Kronk - and the trainer known as Manny - on the map. The boxer known as Hitman was the first man to win titles in four divisions - he won five overall - and topped his 155-8 amateur record by going 61-5-1 with 48 knockouts as a pro. Even though Steward had a lot of success with Hearns, some of his setbacks from his corner were among the most memorable in the sport. Hearns was knocked out in the 14th round by Sugar Ray Leonard in 1981 - Steward said that was the most painful experience of his life - and Hearns was on the short end of a three-round fight with Marvin Hagler in 1985 that is considered one of the best bouts in boxing history. "He brought the very, very best out of me," Hearns once said of Steward. Hearns wasn't alone. Steward trained, helped train or managed some of the greatest fighters - and some kids who just needed to get off the streets - of the past 40 years out of Kronk and in other facilities across the globe, putting fighters from many countries in red and gold trunks. "Lennox used to say when fighting as an amateur that everyone was afraid of the Kronk guys," Steward once said. "He saw the respect when they saw the colors." The gym for years was seen as a way to keep kids out of trouble in southwestern Detroit. "A lot of these kids would be in the streets," Steward once said. "They live for this." And, Steward lived for it, too. He loved boxing - and boxers - but like the Motor City, the gym he adored fell on hard times. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=342_1351215453 kings World RIP <span class="highlight">Emanuel</span> Steward, Boxing Trainer of Oscar De La Hoya and Wladimir Klitschko RIP Emanuel Steward, Boxing Trainer of Oscar De La Hoya and Wladimir Klitschko Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:07:27 -0500 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d92_1328578684 HydrogenEconomy + returning troops, journalists report boy rape pedophilia rampant in Afghanistan. + Ginsburg slams The Constitution she is charged with defending in egypt - The rise and fall of an anti-Second Amendment career dirtbag, Dennis Burke (featuring buddy Rahm Emanuel) .

It is a resume that spans more than two decades in three branches of government. Then, suddenly, it nose-dives on Aug. 30, 2011, when Burke resigned as U.S. attorney amid a scandal over a gun-smuggling case known as Operation Fast and Furious. Since that day, the gregarious public servant has gone silent, and nearly invisible, except that his name appears prominently in Justice Department documents, congressional hearings and news reports. Burke's political downfall may have been shocking, but an Arizona Republic analysis of his career suggests that the cause - firearm politics - has been a pet theme through most of his 23 years in government. The end came after federal records and testimony revealed that Burke last year pressed colleagues and superiors to deny that the Justice Department knowingly allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico under his watch, and that two of those weapons wound up at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. In e-mail exchanges with DOJ officials, Burke incorrectly described allegations about Fast and Furious by Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, as "categorically false." He also reviled congressional investigators as "stooges" for gun-rights zealots. Burke finally quit his post after testifying in secret to congressional investigators about the case. He was not the only federal official to suffer fallout. At the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, national Director Kenneth Melson was reassigned and Arizona's top agent, William Newell, was transferred. On Capitol Hill, Grassley called for the removal of Lanny Breuer, second in command of the Justice Department, and many in Congress have said Attorney General Eric Holder should be fired. But, of all the officials caught up in America's so-called "gun-walking" scandal, Dennis Kiernan Burke is the only one to lose his job. A resignation letter to President Barack Obama said simply, "It is the right time to move on to pursue other aspects of my career and my life." The question: Has he hit bottom yet, and can he rise again? 'A stand-up guy' Since leaving his skyscraper office in downtown Phoenix, Burke has turned down all interview requests, leaving his lawyers to describe him as a "stand-up guy" who didn't intentionally mislead Congress or the public. An inspector general probe is still under way, as well as congressional investigations. Friends say Burke, who had been touted as a possible candidate for governor or Congress, is lying low, volunteering full time with a rape-crisis network and playing golf. All of them speak of him with glowing adjectives: articulate, positive, hardworking, decent, funny, loyal. "He doesn't have enemies," said Robbie Aiken, a longtime friend and vice president for federal affairs with Pinnacle West Capital Corp. "All the things he's done, yet I've never really heard anybody say anything negative about him." But there are critics, especially among staunch Second Amendment advocates, who paint Burke as a liberal apparatchik who was willing to let criminals move weapons to Mexican cartels if it would help justify new firearms restrictions. "It's no coincidence that Dennis Burke, a longtime anti-gun policy person, was made U.S. Attorney in mid-2009 ... the same month (sic) that Fast and Furious begins," said Mike Vanderboegh, a gun-rights blogger. "They picked precisely the right guy to run a clandestine program." (The operation began a month after Burke's appointment was confirmed.) Curiously, the supporters and detractors agree on one point: They say Burke became a scapegoat to protect higher officials in the Justice Department or White House. Dave Workman, a gun-rights blogger, described Burke as "the chief sacrificial lamb." Sen. Grassley, in an October statement, said: "Mr. Burke is to be commended, to some extent, for being the only person to resign and take responsibility for the failed operation. Of course, I do not believe he should feel obligated to be the only fall guy." Phoenix attorney Andy Gordon, a close friend for nearly two decades, said Burke may be loyal to a fault, protecting higher-ups in the Justice Department. "DOJ threw him under the bus. That's my view," Gordon said. Another friend, attorney Tim Nelson, said: "I don't know the workings of the Obama administration, whether they were looking for a fall guy or what. But it certainly looks that way." Whether those evaluations are valid or not, associates agree Burke was devastated to lose a dream job and see his reputation tainted by scandal. Kevin Burke, an older brother who serves as a county judge in Minnesota, said Dennis is focused on defending himself as investigations continue. "He's certainly bummed," Judge Burke said. "You want people to understand what you did and why you did it." Asked if Dennis privately admits to making mistakes, Kevin answered, "I can categorically deny that. The idea that he is going around saying, 'Boy, I really screwed up'? He's never told me that." Strong work ethic and ambition Since Dennis Burke got his law degree at the University of Arizona in 1988, he has flourished in high-profile government jobs, handling politicians, journalists, lobbyists and lawyers with aplomb. Born in 1962 in Chicago, the last of five children in an Irish-Catholic home, Burke once credited his immigrant grandfather with instilling a work ethic to match ambitions. When Dennis was just a boy, the family moved to Phoenix, where he attended Catholic schools. (As an adult, he once said his life motto was "Love your neighbor as you do yourself" because "several nuns beat that into my head in grade school.") After graduation from Brophy College Preparatory, Burke earned a bachelor's degree at Georgetown University and got an early taste of national politics by serving as an intern for U.S. Rep. Martin Sabo, D-Minn. "He was kind of bitten by the Hill bug," said Kevin Burke, who is president of the American Judges Association. Former Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., who hired Burke from law school as a congressional intern, said the student stood out for legal smarts and people skills. "Just really bright," DeConcini said, "and he was good with Republicans." Fresh out of law school, Burke won a coveted position as clerk with the Arizona Supreme Court under Justice James Moeller. Then, in 1989, he was hired as a low-level staff lawyer at the U.S. Senate. Within a year - at age 27 - Burke was assigned to the Judiciary Committee, eventually playing a behind-the-scenes role in confirmation proceedings for three Supreme Court justices. And he began working on gun control. DeConcini said Burke helped draft the Anti-Drug Assault Weapons Limitation Act of 1989. A five-year battle ensued, ending with President Bill Clinton signing the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which made it a federal offense to possess certain semiautomatic rifles manufactured after the law's passage. DeConcini said Burke fostered the measure in concert with a key figure in the White House, policy analyst Rahm Emanuel, who years later would become chief of staff for President Obama. Emanuel now is mayor of Chicago. "Dennis was the one who worked with everyone on the Judiciary Committee to line up these members and votes," DeConcini said. "Dennis had all these pictures of these guns - the Streetsweepers and the AK-47s. And it passed by one vote. A lot of it was not my eloquence on the bill, it was stuff that Dennis had done." The law was adopted shortly before Burke left his Senate job for a position in the Clinton White House as a senior policy analyst for law enforcement and drug issues, again working with Emanuel. According to preserved e-mails, Burke continued handling firearm issues, discussing whether executive orders could be used to extend the Brady Handgun Violence Protection Act requirement for background checks. In 1997, Burke became a federal prosecutor under U.S. Attorney Janet Napolitano, getting firsthand experience with Mexican syndicates that were smuggling narcotics and firearms. In an interview that year with the Arizona Business Gazette, he identified earlier gun-regulation efforts as the most fulfilling professional assignment he'd undertaken. Over the next decade, he served as a chief deputy to Napolitano as she became Arizona attorney general, governor and then director of Homeland Security, where he again dealt with gun-running into Mexico. Fast and Furious launched On July 10, 2009, President Obama named Burke as his nominee for U.S. attorney for Arizona. He was confirmed by unanimous consent in the Senate on Sept. 15 of that year. From the beginning, there were huge controversies: Senate Bill 1070, Arizona's anti-immigration law, was under challenge in court. The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office was being investigated for alleged civil-rights violations. Border security had become a political firefight, with Arizona as a funnel point for smuggling amid growing fear that Mexican violence would spill onto U.S. soil. Authorities in both nations were blaming liberal U.S. gun laws for arming the cartels. The assault-weapons law had expired in 2004. Restoration of the statute had been on Obama's platform, and Burke was among the public adherents. During a news conference in 2010, Burke complained that scores of guns from Arizona were being recovered in Mexico. "We have a huge problem here. We have now become the gun locker of the Mexican drug cartels." What Burke did not mention was that his prosecutors had allegedly instructed ATF agents to let some of those weapons "walk" across the border. In fact, just one month after Burke's appointment as U.S. attorney was confirmed by the Senate, Operation Fast and Furious was secretly launched in Arizona. According to congressional testimony and DOJ records, the idea was to follow the firearms south so that drug lords who received them could be identified and prosecuted. Over a two-year period, smugglers moved as many as 1,400 weapons across the border. The problem: Those AK-47s and .50-caliber rifles were being used for mayhem in Mexico, and U.S. investigators had not devised a successful way to track them. Agent Terry's death Burke's supporters question whether he understood that the ATF strategy knowingly let guns into Mexico, but critics say e-mails and other Justice Department records indicate he knew exactly what was going on. For example, an ATF memo in January 2010 says Burke was briefed in detail on Fast and Furious and expressed "full agreement" with a strategy allowing "the transfer of firearms to continue to take place ... in order to further the investigation and allow for the identification of additional co-conspirators." In an April 2010 e-mail to a colleague, Burke predicted that the operation would have a huge public impact: "It's going to bring a lot of attention to straw purchasers of assault weapons," he wrote. "Some of these weapons bought by these clowns in Arizona have been directly traced to murders of elected officials in Mexico by the cartels, so Katie-bar-the-door when we unveil this baby." However, available Justice Department documents do not include any record where Burke explicitly acknowledged an awareness of the gun-walking strategy, and it is unclear whether he believed a furor would result because of the investigative tactic, or because so many U.S. firearms were responsible for Mexico's cartel bloodshed. At least some ATF agents bristled at the ATF operation, warning of potentially fatal consequences. Those predictions proved true on Dec. 14, 2010, when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a midnight shootout with bandits near Nogales. Within hours, Burke was notified that two guns found at the scene were linked to Fast and Furious. A man, who bought them 11 months earlier at a Glendale firearms store, was promptly arrested on suspicion of illegal-weapons purchases, along with other gun-buy suspects. Yet, at a news conference announcing the busts, federal officials failed to reveal the link with Terry's death and denied that guns had been allowed to "walk" as part of the case. ATF agents, horrified at what happened, became whistle-blowers, leaking information to Congress. Last January, Sen. Grassley sent letters to ATF, alleging that the bureau had knowingly allowed guns into the hands of Mexican criminals and that two of those weapons were tied to Terry's murder. Burke reacted by sending e-mails to DOJ colleagues denouncing the senator's assertions as "categorical falsehoods." In early messages to DOJ superiors, he incorrectly claimed weapons found at the murder scene were purchased before Fast and Furious started. Later, he clarified that although Fast and Furious was under way, the buyer was not being surveilled at the time he bought them. Bitter denunciations On Feb. 1,The Republic published the first mainstream news story on the gun-running scandal and about a congressional inquiry into Fast and Furious. Burke e-mailed a top Justice Department official, complaining about the bad publicity and about Grassley's letter. "They (ATF) got smoked today in the Arizona Republic. Just smoked," he wrote. "They punted going on the record to deny completely fabricated assertions that cut at the heart of their agency and the mission of law enforcement." ATF and Justice officials spent three days arguing over language for a rebuttal to Grassley's letter. Burke, who wanted a hard-line denial, complained bitterly to colleagues: "What is so offensive about this whole project is that Grassley's staff, acting as willing stooges for the Gun Lobby, have attempted to distract from the incredible success in dismantling SWB (Southwest Border) gun trafficking operations," he wrote. "Not uttering one word of rightful praise or thanks to ATF - but, instead, lobbing this reckless, despicable accusation that ATF is complicit in the murder of a federal law enforcement officer." In another missive, Burke wrote, "I am so personally outraged by Senator Grassley's falsehoods. It is one of the lowest acts I have ever seen in politics." DOJ eventually issued a letter denouncing Grassley's allegations about Fast and Furious as "false." Holder has since acknowledged that the senator's assertions were true, and that Fast and Furious was a flawed operation. Spurred by those admissions, congressional investigators redoubled their efforts, digging up more records and questioning witnesses under oath. This past summer, Burke was called before congressional investigators for two closed-door interviews. According to subsequently released excerpts, Burke acknowledged mistakes and accepted blame. "It should not have been done the way it was done," he said, "and I want to take responsibility for that. And I'm not falling on my sword or trying to cover for anyone else." Motives debated Attorneys Lee Stein and Chuck Rosenberg , who represent Burke, said their client did not intentionally provide false information to colleagues and superiors in the Justice Department. "Dennis has cooperated with congressional investigators and the (Justice) Department's inquiry into this matter," Stein said. "He takes his public service seriously." Critics say the constellation of facts points to Burke as a ramrod behind Fast and Furious, working to provide political powder for more firearm regulations. In a Dec. 18 post, Second Amendment blogger John Richardson wrote: "Looking at Burke's background and his attitude towards gun rights and those who support them, I see this as even further confirmation that the intent of Operation Fast and Furious from the very beginning was to build support for another so-called assault-weapons ban. I just don't think it was coincidental that Operation Fast and Furious was centered in Arizona." DeConcini, who has sought to help Burke behind the scenes with members of Congress, said such inferences are "totally unfair," and he insisted that Burke did not learn of the gun-walking strategy until after Brian Terry's death. Kevin Burke said it is absurd to suggest that his brother came up with some "Machiavellian plan" to justify gun-control measures. He said Dennis was dedicated to stopping firearm deaths - not adding to them - and he would never have risked lives or his career on such a gambit. David Steele, a political consultant and friend, agreed: "The Dennis Burke I know doesn't engage in that kind of political triangulation," he said. "The whole notion that he did this as a conspiracy for gun control is laughable." Epilogue Investigations by Congress and the inspector general are ongoing. Guns from Fast and Furious continue to surface at crimes scenes in Mexico and the United States. The case against those accused of killing Brian Terry is sealed in federal court. And Dennis Burke remains under a cloud. His attorney Stein said the experience has been "sobering," but Burke keeps busy volunteering with a rape-crisis network. "He's really been using this time to reconnect with family and friends, and to try to get through all this and decide what he'll do with the rest of his life," Stein said. Other friends say he understands how scandals work in the nation's capital. "It's a tough town," said Aiken, who worked in the Reagan administration. "Dennis knows that. He's a tough guy. And I suspect he'll come out of this A-OK. (But) I don't think he was treated altogether fairly." - http://www.examiner.com/gun-rights-in-national/breaking-issa-subpoenas-az-us-attorney-criminal-division-chief Breaking: Issa subpoenas AZ US Attorney Criminal Division Chief "District of Arizona Criminal Division Chief Patrick Cunningham will resign from the US Attorney's office effective January 27.

Now from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform comes this bombshell, giving further details on what's going on with Cunningham: Issa Subpoenas Criminal Division Chief from Arizona U.S. Attorney's Office WASHINGTON, DC - House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) today announced the issuance of a subpoena to Patrick J. Cunningham, Chief of the Criminal Division in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona. Mr. Cunningham's repeated refusals to testify voluntarily have forced the Committee to use compulsory process. "During the course of our investigation, the Committee has learned of the outsized role played by the Arizona U.S. Attorney's Office - and you specifically - in approving the unacceptable tactics used in Fast and Furious," Chairman Issa wrote to Cunningham in a letter informing him of the subpoena. "Senior Justice Department officials have recently told the Committee that you relayed inaccurate and misleading information to the Department in preparation for its initial response to Congress. "These officials told us that even after Congress began investigating Fast and Furious, you continued to insist that no unacceptable tactics were used. In fact, documents obtained confidentially just last week appear to confirm that you remained steadfast in your belief that no unacceptable tactics were used, even after the Department's initial response to the congressional inquiry. Given that the Attorney General has labeled these tactics as unacceptable and Fast and Furious as 'fundamentally flawed,' this position is startling."

That ruling is being appealed, and one might almost be compelled to thank the City of Chicago for paying its court-mandated legal reimbursement to SAF for the landmark Supreme Court case of McDonald v. City of Chicago. And the amount of that bill? How does $399,950 sound? "That is the single largest check that has ever come to SAF in the history of the foundation," said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. Chicago's legal liability might be partly due to the city's pattern of, as Gottlieb put it, "jacking SAF around" to run up its legal bills, perhaps to discourage the group from pursuing its litigation. The city is doing it again in another SAF-funded case, Ezell v. City of Chicago, related to the city's ban on gun ranges inside city limits, despite a city requirement that people applying for Chicago gun permits must take a training course that includes live-firing at a gun range. Chicago's legal strategy appears to include financially draining those who sue, with an endless stream of required depositions and other maneuvers. Perhaps the city has millions of dollars it can devote to paying legal bills when it loses. See, the more you make the other side pay in attorney's fees, the more you could wind up reimbursing when you lose in court. But of course in this instance, it's just taxpayer's money, so who really cares, right? Money from the McDonald victory will go right back into current litigation, which brings us around to Friday's setback in the case of Moore v. Madigan, challenging the constitutionality of Illinois state laws that prohibit the carrying of loaded firearms for personal protection. The federal judge in that case, Sue E. Myerscough, dismissed the complaint last Friday, noting in her 48-page ruling that: This Court finds that the Illinois "Unlawful Use of Weapons" and "Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon" statutes do not violate Plaintiffs' Second Amendment rights. The United States Supreme Court and the Seventh Circuit have recognized only a Second Amendment core individual right to bear arms inside the home. Further, even if this Court recognized a Second Amendment right to bear arms outside of the home and an interference with that right, the statutes nonetheless survive constitutional scrutiny. SAF has already appealed. Judge Myerscough is an Obama administration appointee who previously served on the Illinois Fourth District Appellate Court, according to a biography on Wikipedia. Her reasoning provides a text book example about the importance of electing people who nominate the right judges. In this case, we are discussing the president, who nominates federal judges, and members of the Senate, who confirm or reject those nominations. Arizona attorney Sandy Froman, a former president of the National Rifle Association, told this column in an exclusive interview Monday that she has spent years explaining to firearms owners and others the importance of elections, particularly those for president and the Senate. "When I go around and talk about elections, I always tell people that elections matter, but not always for the reasons you might think. The presidency and the senate are very important because what they do can last long beyond their terms...those judges serve for life, and their decisions have precedential value that carries well beyond their lifetimes."-Sandra Froman, attorney and former NRA president When a federal judge - in this case Myerscough - can issue an opinion that a civil right is limited to the confines of one's residence, that is a red flag warning to anyone who sits back and relaxes while others go to the polls. Quite a few gun owners at one time proudly noted that they voted for Obama. Now, they are not so vocal. But Obama appointed Myerscough, and here's what she thinks of the Second Amendment: This Court finds further support for its conclusion in recent decisions of the Illinois Appellate Court, which has also concluded that Heller and McDonald affirm a Second Amendment right to bear arms in the home but not outside of the home... ...Alternatively, assuming, arguendo, that there is a right to bear arms outside of the home, such a right is not a core Second Amendment right as defined by the Heller Court, which defined the core of the right as the right to bear arms in the home for self-defense. It can be reasonably argued that a right that is limited to its exercise within the confines of one's home is not a right at all, and to suggest so is to defy common sense. Do we confine the right of free speech to the home? The mere exchange of opinion would thus be rendered impossible, for the people exchange opinions in public forum every day. Likewise, do we render the right against self-incrimination applicable only within the confines of one's residence? If we were to apply the "inside-the-home" standard to the Fourth and Fifth amendments, then it would be permissible, if not routine, for suspects to be taken to police stations where they could be interrogated without counsel until they confessed, and then they could be forced in the courtroom to admit to all manner of criminal activity, whether guilty or not. Would the American press be able to function if reporting and editorializing were not permitted outside the front door of the journalist's home? No other civil right is treated so contemptibly as is the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. SAF's Gottlieb has vowed to fight this case all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. "We look forward to winning this important case on appeal even if it means going back to the United States Supreme Court for a third time. The Second Amendment does not say, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed except outside your home or that it only applies inside your house. We don't check our constitutional rights at the front door."-Alan Gottlieb, Second Amendment Foundation First Amendment advocates are currently defending the Seattle Library's decision to allow people to visit pornography sites on library computers, even though others find this offensive. Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat wrote about the controversy here, and actually quoted this writer. If it is acceptable for people to view pornography on publicly-owned computers in a public library, than there should be no disdain about a citizen's right to peaceably carry a firearm for personal protection in a public place, even that same public library. To advocate less smells of hypocrisy, and to believe that the exercise of a constitutionally-protected civil right ends at one's doorstep is a monument to the social bigotry that is routinely practiced against the Second Amendment. Froman said something else that gun owners should ponder over the next several months, leading up to the November election. George Bush appointed both John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court. Had they not been there, both the Heller and McDonald rulings could have, and possibly would have, gone the other way. And she added this: """""'Some of the commentators are already noting that if Obama is elected for a second term, he could have perhaps three and maybe four more appointments to the Supreme Court, and that scares me."

The story began with the Dayton Daily news, who reported: Boston-based State Street Bank won work worth $1.27 million from Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce's office this year after hiring a lobbyist with personal connections to Boyce's deputy treasurer. State Street Bank was the low bidder on a subcontract to be the custodial bank for global assets at three of Ohio's five public pension systems - a job that entails keeping track of more than $23.6 billion in assets. No laws were broken and Boyce's office makes a solid business case why State Street got the work. But just two days before proposals were due, the bank hired an immigration attorney with little experience in banking or lobbying to lobby for the contract. In fact, Noure Alo's only lobbying contract is with State Street, according to records filed with the Joint Legislative Ethics Commission. Alo, who lives in Dublin outside Columbus, also appears to have ties to Amer Ahmad, Boyce's deputy treasurer. To say that they have ties is an understatement. Noure Alo was the registering attorney for Ahmad's consulting corporation, Five River Partners LLC. Both attend the Noor center mosque, and Alo is actively involved in Ahmad's service organization, Salam Corps. As both the Dayton Daily News and Cleveland Plain Dealer have reported, State Street won the no-bid contract to manage $23.6 billion in state assets just days after hiring immigration attorney Alo as a lobbyist. State Street is Alo's only lobbying client registered with the state of Ohio. State Street is currently facing a lawsuit filed by the state of California for defrauding it of $56.6 million - a lawsuit that had already been filed before the state of Ohio awarded the no-bid contract to State Street (who just happened to hire Noure Alo two days before the RFI deadline). As the late Billy Mays would say, but wait, there's more! The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Sunday that Noure Alo's wife, Walaa Waeda, was hired by Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce as an assistant for a job that was never posted, only announced at Ahmad and Alo's mosque, and she the only candidate who applied and was interviewed: Ahmad said his wife belongs to the same professional organization as Alo, and he met him through her. They also have been involved in the same community service activities and attend the same mosque. In 2008, Alo filed business organization papers with the secretary of state on behalf of Ahmad and his wife. The company, Five Rivers Partners LLC, is related to consulting services Ahmad's wife performs, he said. Boyce hired Alo's wife in late December to fill a sudden opening in his office. Ahmad said the job, which pays $37,500 a year, was not posted. He announced the opening at his mosque and Alo's wife, Waeda, responded. She was the only job candidate interviewed, Ahmad said. Ohio state jobs openings only announced at a terror-tied mosque? Not quite sure how that is legal. We'll have more on the sudden rise of Noure Alo as a financial industry lobbyist in the coming days. - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2531840/posts Ohio Treasurer's Muslim CFO Amer Ahmad hands out contracts, state jobs to fellow Islamic extremists Jawa Report ^ 6-10-2010 - TOPICS: Government; Politics KEYWORDS: deputytreasurer; islam; ohio; terrorist Amer Ahmad http://crcc.usc.edu/initiatives/amcli/amer-ahmad.html Noor Islamic Cultural Center http://www.foxnews.com/us/2009/08/31/attorney-targets-alleged-terror-ties-case-runaway-girl/ Dayton Daily news, who reported: http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/politics/bank-hired-lobbyist-with-boyce-aide-ties-just-days-before-landing-state-contract-722105.html Noure Alo http://www.harrisonalo.com/Bio/NoureAlo.asp registering attorney http://www2.sos.state.oh.us/reports/rwservlet?imgc&amp;Din=200828300828 manage $23.6 billion in state assets http://www.tos.ohio.gov/ForBusiness/Default.aspx?Section=Global%20Custody%20Services lobbying client http://www2.jlec-olig.state.oh.us/olac/Reports/ViewAgent.aspx?id=4090 defrauding it of $56.6 million http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/21/business/21street.html?_r=1 The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported on Sunday http://www.cleveland.com/open/index.ssf/2010/06/ohio_treasurer_picks_bank_faci.html - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/24/us/24cncgreising.html?_r=1 In Emanuel's Team, a Mirror of the Man - http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/politics/bank-hired-lobbyist-with-boyce-aide-ties-just-days-before-landing-state-contract-722105.html Bank hired lobbyist with Boyce aide ties just days before landing state contract Ohio deputy treasurer's Facebook 'friend' works for firm that got $1.27M contract. COLUMBUS - Boston-based State Street Bank won work worth $1.27 million from Ohio Treasurer Kevin Boyce's office this year after hiring a lobbyist with personal connections to Boyce's deputy treasurer. State Street Bank was the low bidder on a subcontract to be the custodial bank for global assets at three of Ohio's five public pension systems - a job that entails keeping track of more than $23.6 billion in assets. No laws were broken and Boyce's office makes a solid business case why State Street got the work. But just two days before proposals were due, the bank hired an immigration attorney with little experience in banking or lobbying to lobby for the contract. In fact, Noure Alo's only lobbying contract is with State Street, according to records filed with the Joint Legislative Ethics Commission. Alo, who lives in Dublin outside Columbus, also appears to have ties to Amer Ahmad, Boyce's deputy treasurer. They are Facebook "friends" and follow one another on Twitter. Their wives, too, are Facebook friends, and their children are pictured together on the social networking site. Alo and Ahmad's wife attended Ohio State University law school together. State documents also show that Alo acted as statutory agent for Five Rivers Partners LLC, a business in which Ahmad owns an interest. Alo contributed $500 to Boyce's campaign last summer and attended a Boyce fund-raiser in January at the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton. Ahmad, however, said in an email: "Our competitive and transparent RFP process was designed to take politics, personalities and people out of the decision-making. No relationships influenced the process because it was based on competitive bidding. As a result, the State Treasury saved Ohioans over $19.7 million." Alo declined to answer questions about why State Street hired him, other than this email: "My relationship with Deputy Treasurer Ahmad is the same as any other lobbyist in the state of Ohio. It's professional." State Street Bank declined to comment on why it picked Alo as its lobbyist. Ahmad pointed out that State Street Bank had done some of the same work for the state treasury between 1998 and 2004. Still, Boyce's political opponent is questioning the deal. "It appears that Boyce and Ahmad are steering lucrative contracts and taxpayer dollars to a suspect out-of-state bank that just happened to hire the personal attorney, business associate and fellow Mosque member of Amer Ahmad as its lobbyist," said Joe Aquilino, spokesman for the campaign of Republican Josh Mandel. "The deeper you dig, the worse this looks." By law, custodial bank contracts must be bid out every two years but the custodial subcontracts for international assets may be awarded at the treasurer's discretion. Boyce is the first Ohio treasurer to bid out both parts, a move that is expected to save Ohio taxpayers $19.7 million over two years, Ahmad said. In May 2008, Ahmad, 35, left an investment banking career in Chicago to work for then state treasurer Richard Cordray. Boyce kept him on staff when he was appointed treasurer in 2009. Ahmad's credentials are top-drawer: a bachelor's from Columbia University; a masters in business administration from Harvard University; a Rhodes Scholar semi-finalist; and a decade in investment banking. The state of California is currently suing State Street Bank, alleging that the bank cheated two of California's largest pension systems by overcharging for foreign exchange trades. Ahmad noted that many large banks are in litigation with public pension systems. If pending litigation disqualified a bank from bidding on treasury work, few would be left to be considered, he said. State Street is among the four largest custodial banks in the world, he said. - Amer Ahmad's mosque: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2009/08/31/attorney-targets-alleged-terror-ties-case-runaway-girl/ Attorney Targets Alleged Terror Ties in Case of Runaway Girl "the Noor Islamic Cultural Center near Columbus, Ohio." ----------------------------------------------------------------------- sharia islamists must deceive, lie, much like Democrats, to further their hateful message ("defending religious freedom" dot org-islamists hijacking the Christian concern of banning any "religion" could have a boomerang domino effect to include Christianity): "a billboard seen by one of our members in the Kansas City area: The billboard is sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a Muslim Brotherhood connected organization. Note the strategy-that opposition to sharia law is supposedly an infringement on the first amendment protection of religious freedom. This is, of course, disingenuous. Is ICNA arguing that the following provisions of sharia law be protected by the first amendment? A Muslim man beating his wife for disobedience. Punishment, up to capital punishment, of "apostates"-those who leave Islam. Polygamy. (In 1879, the Supreme Court ruled that Mormon polygamy was not protected under the first amendment.) Jihad. Suppression of criticism of Islam or Muhammad. (This is particularly obnoxious, since the first amendment also protects freedom of speech.) Punishment for the practice of homosexuality. We highly doubt anyone who calls ICNA will be told these facts about sharia law! ACT! for America does not argue that Muslims do not have a first amendment right to practice the peaceful, spiritual tenets of their faith. What we oppose is the imposition of a supremacist political ideology and its legal code (sharia) where its provisions and doctrines threaten the security, freedom, and the Constitution of our nation. ICNA is wrapping sharia in the first amendment in the hope that Americans won't look closely at what sharia really includes.

As we noted then, "It's common to find Muslim leaders decrying the "debauchery" and "depravity" of the West, and how this "immorality" is "invading" the Muslim world." What's more, these allegations are frequently used as an excuse for the rise in Islamic terrorism against the West. America is far from perfect, and it's true that many of the world's porn sites originate in America and western Europe. It's also true that no one is forced to access them. Now we have the Examiner article below (highlights added) entitled "Afghan Pedophilia: A Way of Life." No one could argue this is a result of "Western debauchery" invading Afghanistan, which has been a hotbed of jihadism for years." - http://www.examiner.com/law-enforcement-in-national/afghan-pedophilia-a-way-of-life-say-u-s-soldiers-and-journalists?CID=examiner_alerts_article Afghan Pedophilia: A way of life, say U.S. soldiers and journalists Jim Kouri Law Enforcement Examiner Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or 'Boy Play' is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation's mainstream. Citing the Afghanistan strategy review, Vice President Joe Biden reported "great progress" in the counterterrorism effort that has significantly degraded al-Qaeda and the Taliban, particularly their leadership. Lagging behind, he said, is progress on the counterinsurgency front - eliminating terrorist safe havens in Pakistan and building a stable Afghan government. However, not once did Biden - nor Defense Secretary Leon Panetta -- mention Afghanistan's dirty secret - a large number of pedophiles and pederasts among the Afghan male population. Pedophilia is a widely-accepted practice in southern Afghanistan, where "boys are given to older men for the sexual gratification of the elder and the sexual education of the child," say many returning U.S. troops. Afghans say pedophilia is most prevalent among Pashtun men in the south who comprise Afghanistan's most important tribe. Apologists say that Bacha Bazi or 'Boy Play' is a very old cultural practice in Afghanistan and part of that nation's mainstream. When U.S. officials such as President Barack Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta discuss the war in Afghanistan and make claims of success in that fledgling democracy, one issue that's avoided is the widespread sexual intercourse between Afghan men and young boys. In non- diplomatic terms, Afghanistan is a haven for child rape, according to several American military officers just returning from the frontlines of the Global War on Terrorism. In a country that is considered overly repressive due to its adherence to the precepts contained in the Muslim religion's Koran, it's difficult for American service members and diplomats to understand the fact that a large portion of the Afghan male population are pedophiles (adults who enjoy sexual contact with prepubescent children) or pederasts (adults who enjoy sexual relations with pubescent or post-pubescent children). While Muslims in Iraq have on several occasions stoned homosexuals for their sexual activities, not all Muslims believe pedophilia is a violation of Sharia law. Those who believe in the sacredness and infallibility of the Koran adhere to the teaching that women are sub-human and quasi-slaves, and therefore Muslim men will look for relationships -- even sexual relationships -- with others of their own gender. According to Reuters, there is a lot of homosexuality going on in Afghanistan, but those engaging in it don't think of themselves as gay, so that makes it okay since Islam officially disapproves of the gay and lesbian lifestyle. "They regard themselves as non-gay because they don't "love" the sex object so Allah is happy. These are the men who avoid their wives as unclean. Apparently there is very little love of any kind in Afghanistan, which explains a lot," according to Reuters. "Having a boy has become a custom for us," Ena Yatullah, a 42-year-old in Baghlan province, told a Reuters reporter. "Whoever wants to show off should have a boy." Sociologists and anthropologists say the problem results from a perverse interpretation of Islamic law. Women are simply unapproachable. Afghans cannot talk to an unrelated woman until after proposing marriage. Before then, they can't even look at a woman, except perhaps her feet. Otherwise she is covered, head to ankle, according to columnist Joel Brinkley, a professor of journalism at Stanford University, and a former Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent for the New York Times. In Kandahar, a city with a population of about 500,000, and other towns, dance parties are a popular -- often weekly -- pastime. Young boys dress up as females, wearing makeup and bells on their feet, and dance for a dozen or more leering middle-aged men who throw money at them and then take them home. A recent State Department report called "dancing boys" a "widespread, culturally sanctioned form of male rape." If women dressed and behaved in such a way, they would surely be punished by Muslim men. Even after marriage, many men keep their boy-lovers, according to former U.S. military personnel who served in Afghanistan. That helps explain why women are compelled to wear clothing that hides their faces and bodies and if they "sin" they are stoned to death in accordance with Islamic law. That same law also forbids homosexuality, but the pedophiles explain that it's not homosexuality since they aren't in love with their boys only fulfilling a bodily need. Paradoxically, the Taliban frown on sexual relations between men and boys and enforce Sharia law to the letter. Are the followers of Islam, who adopt a more "liberal" approach to practicing their religion, perhaps responsible for the widespread rape of male children in Afghanistan? So, why are American military forces fighting and dying to protect pedophiles and pederasts in a country considered by many to be the pedophilia capital of Asia? Why is there hesitation on the part of Obama, Clinton, Panetta and others to discuss the widespread sexual assault of male children in Afghanistan? Could it be that it is politically incorrect to discuss any immoral and unlawful behavior on the part of Muslims? It's quite evident that U.S. politicians may bash Christians without fear of adverse effects on their political careers. But these same leaders will behave as if they are walking on egg shells to avoid even the hint of criticizing Muslims. In addition, there is always a hesitation to discuss man-on-boy sexual relationship for fear of mentioning the obvious: such a relationship is homosexual in nature. ------------------------------ "We find it ironic that the author of the column below that recently appeared in the Washington Post is also the author of "Holy Ignorance." How else to explain how someone can be so blind to what is happening in countries like Egypt? Has he not read the polls taken in Egypt over the past few years, showing strong support for sharia law? Does he really believe that the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafist political parties, which won over 2/3 of the seats in Egypt's parliamentary elections, were elected simply because they promised a better economy? Does he really believe the Muslim Brotherhood would support the right of Muslims to convert to Christianity? There are those who see what they want to see, in spite of all evidence to the contrary. Many of them are in our government, in the media, in academia. We, too, would be delighted to see a reformed Muslim Brotherhood, one that, according to the author below, is "middle class bourgeois." One that has given up its aspirations for worldwide Islamist rule. But we can't afford to engage in such flights of fancy." ================================================== A new generation of political Islamists steps forward By Olivier Roy, Published: January 20 Olivier Roy is a professor at the European University Institute in Florence and the author of "Holy Ignorance." http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/muslim-brotherhood-other-islamists-have-changed-their-worldview/2012/01/10/gIQAZgjoEQ_story.html?wpisrc=nl_headlines Everywhere, the Muslim Brotherhood is benefiting from a democratization it did not trigger. There is a political vacuum because the liberal vanguard that initiated the Arab Spring did not try, and did not want, to take power. This was a revolution without revolutionaries. Yet the Muslim Brothers are the only organized political force. They are rooted in society, and decades of opposition against authoritarian regimes gave them experience, legitimacy and respect. Their conservative agenda fits a conservative society, which may welcome democracy but did not turn liberal. Under these circumstances, the ghost of a totalitarian Islamic state is raised, with the specter of imposing sharia and closing the short democratic parenthesis. But such an outcome is unlikely. The Islamists have, in fact, changed: They are more middle-class "bourgeois," and they benefited from the liberalization of local economies during the last decades of the 20th century, especially in countries with no oil rent. The Islamists have also drawn lessons from the failure of ideological regimes and from the success of Turkey's AKP party. They are no longer advocating jihad and understand geostrategic constraints, such as the need to maintain peace, even a cold one, with Israel. Realism is the starting point of political wisdom. The Islamists have been elected with a clear agenda: stability, good governance and a better economy. If they have been able to reach a larger constituency than the hard-core supporters of sharia, it is precisely because they can combine such a reformist agenda while talking about religion, values, identity and tradition. The Nahda party won the majority of the votes cast at the Tunisian consulate of San Francisco, although Tunisian expatriates in Silicon Valley are not known for their Islamic fundamentalism. This mix of technocratic modernism and conservative values is their brand, and to turn their back on multipartism and legalism would alienate a large portion of their constituency, at a time when they have no means to confiscate power. They have neither military forces nor oil wealth to bypass the people: They have to negotiate and deliver. Their electorate wants stability and peace, not revolution. They are stepping into a new political landscape: a democracy, although a fledgling and fragile one. The only way to maintain their legitimacy is through elections. Even if their pristine political culture is not democratic, they are formatted by the democratic landscape, much as the Roman Catholic Church ended up accepting democratic institutions. But it will take time. Another important change, if we refer to the "revolutionary" period of the 1970s and 1980s, is that the Muslim Brothers do not monopolize Islam in the public sphere. In fact, the religious revival that has engulfed Arab societies led to a diversification and an individualization of the religious field. Religious state institutions such as Al Azhar, so recently discredited, are regaining autonomy after so recently being discredited. Al Azhar's dean, Sheikh Ahmed Al-Tayyeb, openly spoke in favor of democracy and of separating religious institutions from the state. A new phenomenon is the decision of the Salafis, an ultraconservative Sunni sect, to establish political parties. On the one hand they will push for a more Islamic agenda, trying to outbid the Muslim Brothers on Islam, but this will force the Brotherhood to clarify its own position and to find a way to distance itself from the call for sharia. To do that, the Muslim Brothers have to turn purely Islamic norms into more universal conservative values - such as limiting the sale and consumption of alcohol in a way that is closer to Utah's rules than to Saudi laws and promoting "family values" instead of imposing sharia norms on women. In the coming months the hot issue in Egypt, beyond the status of women, will be religious freedom. Not in the sense that Coptic Christians will have less freedom to practice - there were a lot of limitations under the so-called secular dictatorship of Hosni Mubarak - but in defining religious freedom as not merely a minority right but an individual human right, implying the right to convert from Islam to Christianity. The issue is institutionalizing democracy, not promoting liberal policies. Democracy could take hold only if it is based in well-established values. Liberalism does not precede democracy; America's Founding Fathers were not liberal. But once democracy is rooted in institutions and political culture, then the debate on freedom, censorship, social norms and individual rights could be managed through freedom of expression and changes of majorities in parliament. However, there will be no institutionalization of democracy without the Muslim Brothers. - Sharia Law: Muslim "honor killing" of 3 North American teen girls "Our friends at OneNewsNow.com broke a shocking story of how Muslim Sharia Law is privately enforced in North America with "honor killings" of children. This give us yet another reason to petition Congress to ban Sharia law in American courts, excerpts follow: KINGSTON, Ontario - A jury on Sunday found an Afghan father, his wife and their son guilty of killing three teenage sisters and a co-wife in what the judge described as "cold-blooded, shameful murders" resulting from a "twisted concept of honor." The jury took 15 hours to find Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba Yahya, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder in a case that shocked and riveted Canadians from coast to coast. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. After the verdict was read, the three defendants again declared their innocence in the killings of sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar 17, and Geeti, 13, as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Shafia's childless first wife in a polygamous marriage. Their bodies were found June 30, 2009, in a car submerged in a canal in Kingston, Ontario, where the family had stopped for the night on their way home to Montreal from Niagara Falls, Ontario. Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three teenage sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and going online. Shafia's first wife was living with him and his second wife. The polygamous relationship, if revealed, could have resulted in their deportation... Judge Robert Maranger was unmoved, saying the evidence clearly supported their conviction for "the planned and deliberate murder of four members of your family." "It is difficult to conceive of a more despicable, more heinous crime ... the apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameful murders was that the four completely innocent victims offended your completely twisted concept of honor ... that has absolutely no place in any civilized society."... The family had left Afghanistan in 1992 and lived in Pakistan, Australia and Dubai before settling in Canada in 2007. Shafia, a wealthy businessman, married Yahya because his first wife could not have children... The prosecution said her parents found condoms in Sahar's room as well as photos of her wearing short skirts and hugging her Christian boyfriend, a relationship she had kept secret. Geeti was becoming almost impossible to control: skipping school, failing classes, being sent home for wearing revealing clothes and stealing, while declaring to authority figures that she wanted to be placed in foster care, according to the prosecution... The prosecution presented wire taps and cell phone records from the Shafia family in court to support their honor killing theory. The wiretaps, which capture Shafia spewing vitriol about his dead daughters, calling them treacherous and whores and invoking the devil to defecate on their graves, were a focal point of the trial. "There can be no betrayal, no treachery, no violation more than this," Shafia said on one recording. "Even if they hoist me up onto the gallows ... nothing is more dear to me than my honor."...

Ask Congress to pass H.R. 973 today! Congresswoman: Stop judges who promote Sharia and Foreign Law over Constitution. Conservative Congresswoman Sandy Adams (R-FL) has taken a stand for liberty and to defend the U.S. Constitution and US law, by sponsoring a bill that stops liberal activist judges from enforcing Muslim Sharia law, or foreign laws, in American Courts. Adams wrote an op-ed article explaining her bill, saying in part: "Imagine waking up one Sunday morning and reading the headline in your local newspaper: 'Supreme Court rules that the press can't question the president,' and imagine that their ruling cited international case law from nations like China or Cuba, where it is illegal to question the word of the executive branch. While this idea may seem far-fetched, it is a daunting possibility. "Foreign law poses a very real threat to the American judicial system...Our Constitution laid the foundation for our nation's judicial system, and referencing or using foreign law in American courts will lead to its erosion... "That is why I have introduced legislation to protect our Constitution and federal court systems from this type of practice. My two-page bill, H.R. 973, simply states that 'in any court created by or under Article III of the Constitution of the United States, no justice, judge, or other judicial official shall decide any issue in a case before that court in whole or in part on the authority of foreign law, except to the extent the Constitution or an Act of Congress requires the consideration of that foreign law.' "Not only is using international precedent a transparent disregard for the Constitution, but it could be used to advance a judge's personal political agenda over the best interests of the nation. Judges have a responsibility to interpret the laws of the land, not legislate from the bench, and the practice of referring to foreign law puts their underlying motives into question. There are three particular Supreme Court cases where judges have cited foreign and international precedent: Lawrence v. Texas, where the court overturned state anti-sod omy statutes; Atkins v. Virginia, where the court held against the execution of mentally retarded capital defendants; and Roper v. Simmons, where the court outlawed application of the death penalty to offenders who were under 18 when their crimes were committed. International and foreign laws were cited in all three cases by our Supreme Court justices in reaching their decisions, setting precedent for future rulings..." Adams continued: "Currently there are over a dozen states that have introduced legislation banning foreign law on the state level - including the state I represent, Florida... become a fixture of the confirmation process for Supreme Court justices. In her 2010 confirmation hearing, Elena Kagan was questioned by Senator Charles E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican, who asked if she thought international law should factor into a federal court's decision-making process. She confirmed that she did, stating: 'I think it depends. There are some cases in which the citation of foreign law, or international law, might be appropriate.' "This kind of practice begs the question: Are we going to allow our court systems to dictate our policymaking process based off of foreign sources or are we going to go through the proper channels prescribed by our Constitution? We must remember that we have an American judicial system in place for a reason; it is based off of our country's rich history and it is intentionally unique to our great nation. As we move forward as a country, we must work to protect it." --Rep. Sandy Adams represents Florida's 24th Congressional District.

"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." - http://oversight.house.gov/images/stories/Letters/2012-01-18_DEI_to_Cunningham_re_Committee_hearing.pdf http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d92_1328578684 HydrogenEconomy $399,950.00 check from Rahm <span class="highlight">Emanuel</span>/islamist Amer Ahmad...oh, yeah! second,amendment,2A,rahm,emanuel,amer,ahmad,islamist,islamist,sharia,shariah,deception,fast,furious
