1984 - Shhh! You're being watched...don't say what's on your mind!

Re: How much is your privacy worth to you?
     Google CEO, Eric Schmidt once said, "if you have something that you don't want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place."
     Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook CEO, said, "The age of privacy is over."
     Scott McNealy, chief executive officer of Sun Microsystems said, "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it."
     As evident from the quotes above, corporations use propaganda just as dangerously as governments do. These are misleading statements that crony capitalists and government bureaucrats believe is you should accept as truths. Not so.
     Your best defense is, as is so often the case, knowledge. Improve your awareness and share the enduring value of privacy with your loved ones, friends, and neighbors:
     "The right to be let alone - the most comprehensive of rights and the right most valued by civilized men." --  Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, Olmstead v. U.S., 277 U.S. 438 (1928)
     TSA Makes Texans a "Deal They Can't Refuse"
     In recent days, the Texas House unanimously passed a bill (138-0) making it a criminal offense for a security agent, such as TSA agents, to perform any search that would be offensive to a reasonable person by inappropriately touching travelers on the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breasts.
     This is a popular bill, especially among those who've been on the receiving end of an invasive groping – just for going on vacation, visiting loved ones, or rushing on a business trip to make a living.
     Unfortunately, TSA and Department of Justice intimidators derailed it by threatening to shut down all Texas airports if the bill passed. In response, the Texas Senate took the "deal they couldn't refuse" and withdrew the bill without even bothering to vote on it. It's not as if their lives were threatened, yet they gave in to pressure and ignored the desires of their constituents.
     "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first."  Many people attribute the above quote to Thomas Jefferson; however, Monticello historians haven't been able to find this direct quote in his works. The point is, it's up to you to protect your privacy and help your friends, neighbors, and loved ones gain the awareness of what privacy means and the value of safeguarding it. Corporations, the feds, and criminals are not going to do it for you.
     "People Change Their Behavior When Being Observed..."
     The headline above is an abridged explanation of the "Hawthorn Effect" in psychology. Typically, it has a beneficial effect in a business or industrial setting, because employees tend to do better work when they know they're being watched.
     The dark side is you (and almost everyone you know) will change your behavior because you are, or think you are, under surveillance. This is a dangerous practice for a free society. Looking back at history, we can see the oppressive outcome of societies under surveillance, where everything is recorded and kept on file.
The American Library Association (ALA) states its position on privacy well, "The right to privacy is the right to open inquiry without having the subject of one's interest examined or scrutinized by others.... Privacy is essential to the exercise of free speech, free thought, and free association....When users recognize or fear that their privacy or confidentiality is compromised, true freedom of inquiry no longer exists... best practice leaves the user in control of as many choices as possible. These include decisions about the selection of, access to, and use of information. Lack of privacy and confidentiality has a chilling effect on users' choices. All users have a right to be free from any unreasonable intrusion or surveillance..."
     Microsoft Now Owns Skype; New Privacy Threat?
     If you wanted your phone conversations "left alone" so you could freely express your thoughts and feelings, Skype has been a good tool to consider.
     Its P2P infrastructure and encryption protocols made it a strong choice to keep your personal communications private.
     Corporations and governments have banned employees from using it at work partly because they had a difficult time monitoring the communication. Also, since Skype was not a traditional phone carrier, it was able to avoid forced installation of "lawful" interception capability (automated wire tapping/eavesdropping equipment such as other landline and mobile carriers must operate).
     Now that Microsoft owns Skype, this may all change. Microsoft will likely integrate Skype within its products such as the Lync unified-communications platform, Outlook, Xbox Live, and its mobile-phone platform. This may eventually make it easier to monitor communications.
     Privacy is vital to the fabric of our society. "The right to be let alone" is not an old-fashioned idea, as many crony capitalists and legalized government goons want you to believe.
     Raise the awareness of those around you so they don't "drink-the-Kool-Aid." There are many steps that you can, in fact MUST, take right now to lower your profile. The briefing appearing directly below tells you how.

o'der leader - Welcome to the police state, comrade...

From: Off The Grid News Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 Subject: Welcome to the police state, comrade...
     You'd want to think that your government has your best interests at heart, wouldn't you? However, time and again they just keep proving that we're engaging in wishful thinking when it comes to the "why" of what they do and the legislation that they pass. In fact ...
     ... we are subject to a government that seeks at every turn to undermine our constitutional rights ...
Take these executive orders, for instance:
  •  Executive Order 10995: Seizure of all communications media - radio, television, newspapers, CB and Ham radio, telephones and the internet (in effect, suspension of the first amendment)
  • Executive Order 10997: Seizure of all electrical power and fossil fuels
  • Executive Order 10998: Seizure of all food sources, farms and farm equipment. Food will be rationed. Today some states have anti-hoarding laws on the books, stating that anything over a one week's supply of food is considered hoarding and against the law.
  • Executive Order 10999: Seizure of all transportation and control of all highways, interstates and seaports. Any vehicle, public or private, can be taken.
  • Executive Order 11000: Seizure of all civilians for work under Federal supervision.
  • Executive Order 11003: Seizure of all airports and aircraft, public or private.
  • Executive Order 11004: Housing and Finance given authority for population relocation.
  • Executive Order 12919: Directs various Cabinet officials to be ready to take over virtually all aspects of the United States economy during a "state of national emergency" at the direction of the president.
  • Executive Order 13010: Directs FEMA to take control over all government agencies in times of emergency. FEMA is under the direct control of the executive (presidential) branch of government.
  • Executive Order 11490: Establishes presidential control over all United States citizens, businesses, and churches in times of "emergency"
     These are executive orders passed by presidents -- Republican and Democrat alike -- elected to preserve our freedoms and the Constitution. Their very duplicities show that they have no intention of honoring the ideals of the constitutional republic handed down to us, that they are the very men that the Founders warned us about.
In fact, our Founders understood that this constitutional model could be overturned and made ineffective should the restraining power of the people against the federal government be made moot through judicial or legislative process.
     Men like John Adams, James Madison, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton all viewed the separation of powers to be indispensible to the continuation and preservation of liberty and the United States.
     So what does the passage of these Executive Orders tell us? It tells us this ...
     The dominoes are in place to subject the American people to a state of martial law nationwide.
     And the sad thing is, this isn't even a new occurrence. American presidents, governors, and mayors have flexed their martial-law-imposing muscles at various times throughout our history.
  • In 1871, President Grant sent troops into South Carolina to confiscate all private guns.
  • In 1914, President Wilson ordered the infantry into Colorado to disarm everyone involved in a labor union dispute, including members of law enforcement and the National Guard.
  • In 1993, the U.S. Army provided advice, tactical support, and military equipment to the FBI and the BATF to raid the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, which resulted in the deaths of 74 men, women and children.
  • Martial Law was declared by General Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812.
  • President Lincoln declared it again during the War Between the States, arresting anyone who dissented from his war-time policies, including newspaper editors and legislators.
  • In 1931, Texas Governor Ross used National Guard troops to enforce limits on the size of private property.
  • Much of the Pacific Coast was under martial law after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
  • And as recently as 2005, New Orleans was under orders of martial law after Hurricane Katrina, orders which stripped remaining law-abiding citizens of their ability to protect and defend themselves and their property.
     Not only do we have Executive Orders paving the way for martial law, we have precedence for it. All that's needed in order to put it into motion is a trigger point, whether real or imaginary.
     However, if you think the facts listed above are enlightening, it doesn't even begin to compare to the wealth of examples, information, and tips included in the book Understanding and Surviving Martial Law. This book is so much more than just a historical perspective. It also details how martial law is and will be imposed in America and how you and your family can survive.  With its valuable information and instructions, it is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about the history of martial law in America; the current martial law state of America; and preparing yourself for a state of martial law in America.
     The first step to defending yourself in any situation is to be informed about it.

Remember Them, Honor Them - DoD cuts

Remember when the Washington scoundrels told America 'if the budget won't be approved, the Military won't be paid?'  To that we said BALDERDASH!
image003
It turns out; the Commander and Chief demand the U.S. Defense Department to review all U.S. military missions worldwide and seek ways to cut $400 billion from their budget. All the while starting a war in Libya which no one approved, no one knows why, and irresponsibly bypassed Congress. Muammar Gaddafi, once friend now has a price on his head, yet the White House refuses to justify why?  But don't worry, Obama called the U.N. asking for 'permission' to deploy the U.S. Military on Libya. Does this sound like someone who puts our Military first?
image004
image005
     Let me explain, our military forces are told to serve in wars dreamed up by confused and disoriented Washington pontiffs, all the while U.S. G.I.'s are used as pawns in a bollix budget game in Washington!
     How dare they hold the paychecks of our heroes as bargaining chips and tell the world America might have to let our Military families starve. How did this happen? Because, much of our Nation is on an 'out of control' spending binge, led by dithering political hacks. As the Washington budget irremediable calamity unfolds it becomes painfully clear Mr. Obama is demanding our budget to be balanced on the backs of Military men and women, who by their oath, cannot speak out and will face court martial if they did.
     In short, the Washington glut-masters revel in their spending orgy, soaking in taxpayer dollars all the while enjoying a drunken gala of spending overdose! NOW, these power saturated pontiffs dare to plunder the pittance earned by our heroes, thereby forcing many G.I.s into a sacrificed vigil.
     It is not enough for our men and women in uniform to lose arms and legs, be thousands of miles away from their loved ones, too far to hear their cries of help as the paychecks, support and Military budget is consumed by ever fattening bureaucrats. These severe reductions, at this magnitude, will undermine the ability of our military to perform the kind of heroic operations regularly expected of them.
     Now is the time to demand the Military budget be exempted from ALL budgetary discussions and the Obama cutting block! It's time to protect our finest from the budget debacle lead by the misadventures of a washed up and impotent autocratic machine.
     Washington's fat idea is to keep Military programs below inflation, slashing over $400 billion dollars from the budget over to the year 2023. Not only that, but ramping-down overseas operations.
     "They're going to have to plan a build down," Gordon Adams said. Adams oversaw the defense budget under the Clinton administration.
     To add injury to insult, the Defense Department already has slashed $400 billion by smart budget management. Yet, $330 billion is still on the table! Washington is eyeing cuts to weapons programs, such as, the cancelation of the Army's Future Combat Systems program, the Air Force's Next-Generation Bomber and more programs are still on the chopping block.
     It's true! Orders are being given to the Pentagon to slash $400 billion of additional cuts, but get this, without compromising our national security! All I can say is: O.M.G.!
image007     Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is deeply concerned the Obama cuts will have a harsh impact on our national security.
image005
      Rep. Buck McKeon stated: "I have grave concerns about the White House announcing a $400 billion cut to national security spending while our troops are fighting in three different theaters," McKeon went on to say: "Additionally, assigning a specific number to national security cuts prior to the completion of a comprehensive review of our military's roles and missions seems to be putting the cart before the horse."
     Even some 'so called Conservatives,' think defense programs should be on the table in any deficit reduction plan and have made a 2012 budget proposal to say exactly that!
     Former Senate Budget Chairman Pete Domenici, R-N.M., and former Clinton White House budget director Alice Rivlin, intends to freeze defense programs at fiscal 2011 levels. They claim it will save taxpayers $1.1 trillion through the year 2020, but at what price?
     Co-chairs of the National Fiscal Commission, Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles, are calling for defense budget reductions, of $100 billion through 2015.
     Todd Harrison, a senior fellow for defense budget studies at the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, said in an interview, "If you really want to get to significant budget savings, you have to start addressing some of those strategic questions about what you want DoD to be able to do in the future,"
     Mackenzie Eaglen, a defense analyst at the Heritage Foundation. "Mission sets cannot continue to grow while budgets precipitously decline without a serious discussion about American foreign policy"
     Many in the Pentagon are cautioning Representatives that cutting must have its limits! Too many and too deep cuts mean exposing America to potential harm.
     Defense Secretary Robert Gates" Suggestions to cut defense by this or that large number have largely become exercises in simple math, divorced from serious considerations of capabilities, risk, and the level of resources needed to protect this country's security and vital interests around the world,"
     Geoff Morrell Pentagon spokesman said "missions the country is willing to have the military forgo."
     Obama has called for reducing the deficit by $4 trillion which translates into $3 trillion in cuts and $1 trillion in new revenues over the next 10 years. Believe it or not, it seems Washington would rather make deep and harsh cuts into the Military, which only accounts for one-fifth of federal government spending, than cut into the other four-fifths of the federal budget.
     Why is that?
image005     In a nutshell, instead of bolstering our Military, Obama blindly starts inexplicable wars with former friends, putting Military Paychecks on the bargaining table and boasting about how 'he' got Osama Bin Laden. Outrageous!
     In truth, the position of the Tea Party is clear: KEEP THE GOVERNMENTS HANDS OFF THE MILITARY BUDGET! DON'T LET WASHINGTON REDUCE THEIR PAY! PROTECT THEIR FUTURE!
     Stop the Washington scallywags from gulping down Military dollars and jeopardizing the safety of America with cheap budget tricks. We must tell Washington to stop making the Military the scapegoat for Washington's fiscal misdeeds. 'We The People' are grateful for our Military pulling the trigger on Osama bin Laden
image008
      This is nothing more than short-changing and skinning our Military because the liberal socialist cabal thinks they can get away with it! We won't let them!
     The Military must get paid no matter what! Our heroes must never be the 'sacrificial lambs' to the Fat-Cat Washington cabal, Washington is just not worthy! 'We The People' must send a clear message to the Washington rapscallions to keep their dirty little fingers off the wallets of our men and women in uniform!
     Instead of reducing the Military budget, Washington should be increasing it!
     We must keep pressure on Washington and protect our Military from a budget scalping!
     Yes! We shall fight the reduction of Military Programs! We shall NOT go quietly into the night! We will fight it on the floor of the House of Representatives! We will fight it on the floor of the Senate!
     Hey! Shall 'We The People' turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the shrieks of our Men and Women in uniform as they serve thousands of miles away, only to learn their families will go broke as well?!
     Oh, don't get me wrong, petitions are good, marches and rallies are working, BUT sending RED HOT FAXES into the belly of the beast takes intestinal fortitude!
     It is now your turn to shake up the Washington varlets!
     How dare Washington threaten the Paychecks of our Military simply because of negligence of tax bloated bureaucrats! They want to balance the budget on the backs of our beloved men and women in the Military! The Tea Party says: NEVER!

faith - And the fastest growing religion is...

From: burd Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2011 Subject:  The fastest growing religion is...
Christianity taking over planet?
Evidence suggests it's fastest growing faith on Earth
What is the fastest-growing religion on Earth?
Most news reports suggest it is Islam.
     But the evidence suggests a new, or, perhaps, original form of biblically inspired evangelical Christianity is sweeping through places like China, Africa, India and Southeast Asia - making it, by far, the fastest growing faith on the planet.
    
In "Megashift," author Jim Rutz coins a new phrase to define this fast-growing segment of the population. He calls them "core apostolics" - or "the new saints who are at the heart of the mushrooming kingdom of God."
     Rutz makes the point that Christianity is overlooked as the fastest-growing faith in the world because most surveys look at the traditional Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church while ignoring Christian believers who have no part of either.
     He says there are 707 million "switched-on disciples" who fit into this new category and that this "church" is exploding in growth.
     "The growing core of Christianity crosses theological lines and includes 707 million born-again people who are increasing by 8 percent a year," he says.
     So fast is this group growing that, under current trends, according to Rutz, the entire world will be composed of such believers by the year 2032.
     "There will be pockets of resistance and unforeseen breakthroughs," writes Rutz in
"Megashift". "Still, at the rate we're growing now, to be comically precise, there would be more Christians than people by the autumn of 2032, about 8.2 billion."
     According to the author, until 1960, Western evangelicals outnumbered non-Western evangelicals - mostly Latinos, blacks and Asians - by two to one. As of 2000, non-Western evangelicals outnumbered Westerners by four to one. That moved to seven to one this year.
     "There are now more missionaries sent from non-Western nations than Western nations," he writes.
     This trend, says Rutz, has been missed by Westerners because the explosive growth is elsewhere.
     Hundreds of millions of these Christians are simply not associated with the institutional churches at all. They meet in homes. They meet underground. They meet in caves. They meet, he says, in secret.
     And what is driving this movement?
     Miracles, he says.
    
"Megashift" attempts to document myriad healings and other powerful answers to the sincere prayers of this new category of believer, including, believe it or not, hundreds of dramatic cases of resurrections ? not near-death experiences, but real resurrections of actual corpses.
     "When I was a kid in Sunday school, I was really impressed that 3,000 people were saved on the Day of Pentecost," he writes. "I thought, 'Wow, that'll never happen again!'"
     But, Rutz says, it now happens around the globe every 25 minutes.
     "By tomorrow, there will be 175,000 more Christians than there are today," he writes.
     The essence of
"Megashift" is about how Western Christians can tap into what he sees as a mighty work of God on Earth.
     "Very few people realize the nature of life on Earth is going through a major change," he writes. "We are seeing a megashift in the basic direction of human history. Until our time, the ancient war between good and evil was hardly better than a stalemate. Now all has changed. The Creator whose epic story flows through the pages of Scripture has begun to dissolve the strongholds of evil. This new drama is being played out every hour around the globe, accompanied sometimes by mind-bending miracles."

Australian Prime Minister does it again!!
     This woman  should be appointed Queen of the World.  Truer words have  never been spoken. 
It took a lot of courage for this woman to speak what she had to say for the world to hear.  The retribution could be phenomenal, but at  least she was willing to take a stand on her and Australia 's beliefs.  The whole  world  needs a leader like  this!
Prime  Minister Julia Gillard -  Australia:                                    
     "Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law  were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the  government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks..  
     Separately, Gillard angered  some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques.
 Quote: 
     'IMMIGRANTS,  NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT .. Take It Or Leave It.
     I  am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture.  Since the  terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge  in patriotism by the majority of Australians. '  
     'This culture has been developed over two  centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions  of men and women who have sought freedom.'  
     'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish,  Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any  other language.  Therefore, if you wish to become part of  our society.  Learn the language!' 
     'Most  Australians believe in God.  This is not some Christian,  right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles,  founded this nation, and this is clearly documented.  It  is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of  our schools.  If God offends you, then I suggest you  consider another part of the world as your new home,  because God is part of our culture.' 
     'We  will accept your beliefs, and will not question why.  All  we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and  peaceful enjoyment with us.' 
     'This is OUR  COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow  you every opportunity to enjoy all this.  But once you  are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take  advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE  RIGHT TO LEAVE'.'
     'If you  aren't happy here then LEAVE.  We didn't force you to  come here.  You asked to be here.  So accept the country YOU accepted.'"

2nd Amendment - "The Gun Is Civilization" [By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)]

From: baja Sent: Friday, May 20, 2011 Subject: "The Gun Is Civilization "
As the Supreme Court hears arguments for and against the Chicago, IL, Gun Ban, I offer you another stellar example of a letter (written by a Marine), that places the proper perspective on what a gun means to a civilized society.
Interesting take and one you don't hear much... Read this eloquent and profound letter and pay close attention to the last paragraph of the letter.....
"The Gun Is Civilization"
 By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret)

     Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force.  If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force..  Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception.  Reason or force, that's it.
     In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion.  Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
     When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force.  You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
     The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats.  The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
     There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations.  These are the people who think that we'd be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job.  That, of course, is only true if the mugger's potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat - it has no validity when most of a mugger's potential marks are armed.
     People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that's the exact opposite of a civilized society.  A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
     Then there's the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury.  This argument is fallacious in several ways.  Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
     People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don't constitute lethal force, watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst.  The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier, works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker.  If both are armed, the field is level.
     The gun is the only weapon that's as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter.  It simply would not work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn't both lethal and easily employable.
     When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone.  The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded.  I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid.  It doesn't limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force.  It removes force from the equation... And that's why carrying a gun is a civilized act !!
     By Maj. L. Caudill USMC (Ret.)


So the greatest civilization is one where all citizens are equally armed and can only be persuaded, never forced !!  This is worth printing and sharing with others........right?  Remember freedom is not free.

Presidents - Secret Service Perspective

From: rapa & baja Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011Subject: Presidents: Interesting Secret Service Perspective
Sent by a friend:
Reading a book about the Secret Service where they reveal an awful lot about  the presidents and Vice Presidents...very interesting..recap thus far:
• JFK and LBJ = Philanderers of the highest order.  Both kept a lot of  women in White House for affairs.   Both set up "early warning" systems for it and when their wives were nearby.  Total immoral men.  In addition, LBJ was as crude as the day is long.  (FHW - I heard some real horror stories about LBJ in particular.  But, a few good things too.  LBJ respected people who stood up to him).
Publish Post
• Nixon = Weird, moral man but very odd and weird. Paranoid etc. Horrible relationship with his family, almost a recluse.
• Agnew = nice, decent man, everyone was surprised at his downfall.
• Ford = A true gentlemen who treated them with respect and dignity
 
• Jimmy Carter = A complete phony who would portray one picture of himself to public and very different in private.   I.E. Would be shown carrying his own luggage, suit cases were always empty, he kept empty one just for photo ops. Wanted the people to see him as pious and a non drinker, but he and family drank alcohol a lot. Had disdain for the Secret Service, and was very irresponsible with the "football" nuclear codes.  Didn't think it was a big deal and would keep military aides at a great distance. Would never acknowledge military or Secret service they were there to serve him.
• Ronald Reagan = The real deal. Moral, Honest, respectful and dignified. Treated Secret Service and everyone else with respect and honor.
     Would always thank everyone all the time. He took the time to know everyone on a personal level.   One story was early on in Presidency the President came out of his room with a side arm attached to his hip.   The Agent in charge said "Why the pistol Mr. President."  Ronald Reagan replied, "In case you boys can't get the job done, I can help."  It was common for him to carry a pistol. People do not know that when he met with Gorbachev, he had a pistol in his briefcase.  Upon learning that Gary Hart was caught with Donna Rice during the election Ronald Reagan said, "Boys will be boys, but boys will not be President"
• Nancy Reagan = Very nice but very protective of the President..the Secret Service was always caught in the middle. Nancy would try to control what the President ate all the time (healthy) and he would say to the Agents  "come on you gotta help me out."   The Reagans rarely drank alcohol. Secret Service said they could count on one hand the times the Reagans were served alcohol other than wine during dinner. They made the comment for all the fake bluster of the Carters it was the Reagans who lived life as genuinely  moral people. 
     (FHW - I spent several weeks at the Reagan Pacific Palisades res. while he was campaigning and before being elected.  Everything above fits.  A genuinely nice and garrulous guy, and Nancy was a lady quite devoted to and protective of her Ronnie.  He was patient with her overprotectiveness, obviously devoted to her also, but occasionally would bark at her when he needed a little more space and independence.  And then she would give him some space, but not for too long). 
• George and Barbara Bush = Extremely kind and considerate. Always respectful. Took great care in making sure the agents comforts were taken care of. They would bring them meals etc. One time Barbara Bush brought warm clothes to agents standing outside a Kennebunkport.  One agent who was given  warm hat tried to nicely say no thanks when he was obviously freezing and President Bush said "Son, don't argue with the first lady, put the hat on."
      (FHW - In 1982, with an ATF partner, I stopped by the Secret Service command post for the Bush residence detail in Washington, D.C.  Bush was home at the time, but they were in residence and we did not see them, only talked with the detail and shared some food with them for a while. Several spoke up and expressed what great people and a great family they were.  Said that their kids and grandkids often came to visit, and without exception it was always happy times.  I was impressed at such intense enthusiasm.  With eveyone else I always heard at least some negatives (with the Reagan's, it was trying to manuever around Nancy and her overprotectiveness), but no negatives about Bush the Mom and Dad.
• Bill Clinton = Presidency was one giant party. Not trustworthy, he was nice because he wanted everyone to like him but life is just one big game and party to him.
• Hillary Clinton = Another phony. Personality would change the instant cameras were near. She hated with open disdain the military and Secret Service. Again another one who felt people are there to serve her. She was always trying to keep tabs on Bill Clinton..
 
• Al Gore = An egotistical ass who was once overheard by his Secret Service detail when he told his son he needed to do better in school or he "would end up like these guys" and pointed to the agents.
     (FHW - In 1984, on a detail, I laid eyes on and had one little interaction with AlBore while he was campaigning in Iowa, and egotistical ass is putting it mildly.  Strangely, he seemed much more insecure and fearful than he actually did egotistical.  Even though he really wanted to be somebody, I think he knew he was faking it and was in way over his head).
• G W Bush = They loved him and Laura Bush. They said no one is a nicer person than Laura Bush who never has a harsh word to say about anyone.
     The Bush's went out of their way to take care of the Secret Service and made sure they were well cared for with meals and other comforts. GW was the most prompt of the Presidents. He ran like a well oiled machine. He was also the most in shape who had a very strict work out regimen. The Bush's made sure their entire administration understood to respect and be considerate of the Secret Service.
• Karl Rove was the one who was the most caring of the Secret Service in the administration.
• Barack Obama - Clintons over again - hates the military and looks down on the Secret Service.

fable - Do You Dance?

From: baja Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2011 Subject: Do You Dance?
     An old prospector shuffled into the town of El Indio, Texas leading an old tired mule.  The old man headed straight for the only saloon in town, to clear his parched throat.  He walked up to the saloon and tied his old mule to the hitch rail.  As he stood there, brushing some of the dust from his face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other.
     The young gunslinger looked at the old man and laughed, saying, "Hey old man, have you ever danced?"
     The old man looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No, I never did dance ... Never really wanted to."  A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and said, "Well, you old fool, you're gonna dance now!" and started shooting at the old man's feet.
     The old prospector, not wanting to get a toe blown off, started hopping around like a flea on a hot skillet.
     Everybody was laughing, fit to be tied.  When his last bullet had been fired, the young gunslinger, still laughing, holstered his gun and turned around to go back into the saloon.
     The old man turned to his pack mule, pulled out a double-barreled shotgun, and cocked both hammers.  The loud clicks carried clearly through the desert air.
     The crowd stopped laughing immediately.  The young gunslinger heard the sounds too, and he turned around very slowly.  The silence was almost deafening.
The crowd watched as the young gunman stared at the old timer and the large gaping holes of those twin 10 gauge barrels.  The barrels of the shotgun never wavered in the old man's hands, as he quietly said, "Son, have you ever kissed a mule's ass?"
     The gunslinger swallowed hard and said, "No sir ... But... I've always wanted to."
There are a few lessons for us all here:
• Never be arrogant.
Don't waste ammunition.
Whiskey makes you think you're smarter than you are.
Always, always make sure you know who has the power.
Don't mess with old folks, they didn't get old by being stupid.
I just love a story with a happy ending, don't you?

o'sama laughs no more - o'mam hesitated, Panetta Issued Order to Kill bin Laden

From: piloto Sent: Monday, May 09, 2011 Subject: Obama Hesitated - Panetta Issued Order to Kill Osama Bin Laden
..a very interesting read.  No big surprise to me
What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him – and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound."
Note:  This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been "overruled" by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden.  What follows is further clarification of Insider's insights surrounding that event.


Q: You stated that President Obama was "overruled" by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound.  Was that accurate?
A: I was told – in these exact terms, "we overruled him."  (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president's "persistent hesitation to act."  There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so.  President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.
     I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper.  The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama.  Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position.  This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton.  She was livid over the president's failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such.  As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts.  One, that the military action could fail and harm the president's already weakened standing with both the American public and the world.  Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East .
Q: What changed the president's position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?
A: Nothing changed with the president's opinion – he continued to avoid having one.  Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again.  Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of.  Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel.  Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack.  Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives.  Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act.  But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta's failed policy.  Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta.  A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act.  It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated.  Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.
     What happened from there is what was described by me as a "masterful manipulation" by Leon Panetta.  Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden's location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president's inaction would be "…significant to the point of political debilitation."  It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid.  This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett.  Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure.  The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr. Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound.  Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him.  What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him – and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound.  Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go – including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice.  Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault.  This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other.      Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself.    Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat.  Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk.  During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary.  Similar support was then followed by Gates.  The following day, and with Panetta's permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president's full and open approval of the Panetta plan.  Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval.  Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval.  Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president's indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order.  At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.
     This insulation ended at some point with an abort order that I believe originated from Valerie Jarrett's office, and was then followed up by President Obama.  This abort order was later explained as a delay due to weather conditions, but the actual conditions at that time would have been acceptable for the mission.  A storm system had been in the area earlier, but was no longer an issue.  Check the data yourself to confirm.  Jarrett, having been caught off guard, was now scrambling to determine who had initiated the plan.  She was furious, repeating the acronym "CoC" and saying it was not being followed.  This is where Bill Daley intervened directly.  The particulars of that intervention are not clear to me beyond knowing he did meet with Jarrett in his office and following that meeting, Valerie Jarrett was not seen in the West Wing for some time, and apparently no longer offered up any resistance to the Osama Bin Laden mission.  What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates' office, a representative from Leon Panetta's office, and a representative from Jim Clapper's office.  I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound.  I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military - both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States.  There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier.  The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated.  President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission.  Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military.  When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking "very confused and uncertain."  The president was then placed in the situation room where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold.  Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice President was already "up to speed" on the operation.  A source indicated they believe Hillary Clinton had personally made certain the Vice President was made aware of that day's events before the president was.  The now famous photo released shows the particulars of that of that room and its occupants.  What that photo does not communicate directly is that the military personnel present in that room during the operation unfolding, deferred to either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates.  The president's role was minimal, including their acknowledging of his presence in the room.
     At the conclusion of the mission, after it had been repeatedly confirmed a success, President Obama was once again briefed behind closed doors.  The only ones who went in that room besides the president were Bill Daley.  John Brennan, and a third individual whose identity remains unknown to me.  When leaving this briefing, the president came out of it "…much more confident.  Much more certain of himself."  He was also carrying papers in his hand that quite possibly was the address to the nation given later that evening on the Bin Laden mission.  The president did not have those papers with him prior to that briefing.  The president then returned to the war room, where by this time, Leon Panetta had personally arrived and was receiving congratulations from all who were present.
     In my initial communication to you of these events I described what unfolded as a temporary Coup initiated by high ranking intelligence and military officials.  I stand by that term.  These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett.  If they had not been willing to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today.  There will be no punishment to those who acted outside the authority of the president's office.  The president cannot afford to admit such a fact.  What will be most interesting from here is to now see what becomes of Valerie Jarrett.  One source indicated she is threatening resignation.  I find that unlikely given my strong belief she needs the protection afforded her by the Oval Office and its immense powers to delay and eventually terminate investigations back in Chicago, but we shall see.

2012 - Allen West: Tired of Obama’s ‘Marxist Rhetoric’

Friday, April 22, 2011
By: Hiram Reisner, Newsmax
     Florida GOP Rep. Allen West says he stands by his statement that President Barack Obama exhibited “Third World dictator-like arrogance” in his speech last week on the budget and America’s skyrocketing debt, and he is sick and tired of the president’s “Marxist demagogic rhetoric.”
     “I do stand by those words — and perhaps one of the things that many people need to understand is that the truth needs to be said,” West Thursday said on Fox News, referring to a comment he made Tuesday on Laura Ingraham’s radio show. “When I go around and I talk to people down here in my district, and we get phone calls, that speech that was given last week Wednesday was absolutely beneath the statesmanship, or the atmosphere, or the aura of the personality that the president should show.
     “I am sick and tired of this class warfare — this Marxist demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the president of the United States of America,” he told Greta Van Susteren. “It is not helpful for this country, and it’s not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country — and I’m not going to back away from telling what the truth is.”
     West said it is time to “stop playing games” when it comes to discussing America’s deteriorating fiscal situation.
     “I don't think it's very presidential when Barack Hussein Obama refers to my colleague, [House Budget Committee Chairman] Paul Ryan, as a simple little accountant, either,” he said. “So I think that when you look at what a community organizer [Obama] is turning out to be, it does seem to be like a low-level socialist agitator.
     “When you look at the economic situation that we have, to have a gentleman in the White House that really has never run any type of business or organization — I myself, as a company commander, as a battalion executive officer, and as a battalion commander — have many times had to balance budgets, and take care of units, and operate a budget,” West continued.
     “So I think it does come back to experience,” he said. “And when I talk about the chickens coming home to roost — when we continue to play this election cycle ‘American Idol’ in the United States of America — this is what we end up with, with someone that really is not in tune with the American people.”

Many Americans actually pay $1 out of ever $2 earned to some form of tax while ~50% of people pay no taxes!  Do you pay your bills?  The Fed takes $3 in and spends $5.  Debt per citizen: $51,985 - Debt per taxpayer: $142,513! (13Dec12)

What were you doing in the last hour while the U.S. Gov't spent $188 Million Dollars of our money!  (Every Hour, Every Day!) (Apr11)   In 8 years, President Bush added $5 trillion to the national debt; President Obama, according to a revised Dec11 GAO report, added $4T+ to the U.S. deficit in 2011 alone!  The GAO estimates the deficit, including o'scamcare & mandates, may grow from $15T+ to over $26T+!  UPDATE: A little-noticed event occurred at approximately midnight on Monday, October 31, 2011.  The National Debt exceeded the GDP!  Imagine what these numbers are going to be now that Obama is reelected!

A trillion seconds pass in 31,688 years.  At $1/sec it would take 41,194 years just to pay off o'tax'n spend's new Feb12-Feb13 added debt - 538,696 years to pay only the national debt or 4,404,632 years to settle the debt+unfunded liabilities!

"Over the last four years our national debt has risen nearly $6 trillion, and just last week the debt topped an astounding $16 trillion.  To put that in perspective, $16 trillion is enough money to fund the US military, along with the military of every NATO country combined… for the next sixteen years!  Government spending is projected to hit $3.8 trillion this year alone.  Even after every tax dollar paid by Americans has been counted, the government will still overspend by another $1.13 trillion.  Every single second of the day our government spends over $12,000.  So in the time it takes you to read this article, roughly five minutes, our government has spent $3.6 million.  It take four seconds for the government to spend what the average American earns in an entire year."  (source: by Tim Phillips 17Sep12 at TownHall.com)
    "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself.  They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence … From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . the very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference – they deserve a place of honor with all that is good." -- George Washington

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11
     It has been suggested that o'who?, the clown, and 'those who surround him' are not the bumbling fools they appear to be.  Nor are they one of the 'Three Stooges' but rather are shrewd implementation/drivers and fellow-travelers of policies designed to disarm the citizenry & collapse the American economy.  Why?  o'nocchio's grandiose scheme to "fundamentally transform America" is more than simple campaign rhetoric as can be seen by his use of "enabling acts" to circumvent the Constitution of the United States.  As Ollie used to say, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into."
