o'snafu - Kill Mexicans, U.S. Officers, & the 2nd Amendment!

Evans Law of Inadequate Paranoia: "No matter how bad you think something is, when you look into it, it's always worse." -- M. Stanton Evans

---

     Been there, done that.  And it's still worse!  "Special Gun Controls for Border States" & "U.S. Threatened by Assault Weapons" >> W.H. and liberal left wing extremist Commie Marxist Socialists' spittle!

     The BATFE allegedly used taxpayer money to buy weapons, deliberately let'em walk into Mexico transported by criminals, to be used to murder Mexican citizens and one or more U.S. law enforcement officers.

     U.S. Customs (DHS/ICE/CBE) must've been blind, co-conspirators, or duped by a fellow Treasury Agency (+ the FBI & DEA) ..at the highest levels no less than Assistant Commissioners, Assistant Secretaries, the AG, U.S. Attorneys' Offices & the White House itself (though probably 'insulating', by 'word-of-mouth', the President from being vulnerable to direct testimony and culpability.)

     Field U.S. Attorneys (AUSAs) & up wouldn't dare to 'fart' without prior permission from the Criminal Division in Washington, D.C., all-the-while internally documenting, on paper, their dealings to 'cover their butts', while the AG held hands with State & the Executive Branch as they all violated local, state, federal and International laws, regulations, procedures, treaties, delegated & cross-designated authorty, mutual agreements and undertandings.  And, they intentionally violated the soveriengty of another nation.  The "approved" large amounts of funding for such a 'fubar' operation would have to have been authorized at the BATFE Headquarters, D.C., Main Treasury, and the DOJ itself.  None of which would be sanctioned without approval, tacit or not, from the President of the United States ...or who ever was acting under his authority and supervision.  Note:  Leading up to, and during the entire covert episode, the President, his leftist mouthpieces in Congress, and liberal media, were all touting the duplicitous idea that gun sales in U.S. border area firearms stores were fermenting armed criminal activity.  Little did we know (though many of us suspected) that the criminals wore badges of honor ...sworn to defend the Constitution of the United States, from all enemies ...foreign and domestic! -- rfh

From: ConservativeActionAlerts Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 Subject: New damaging ATF evidence

     U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman, wants to see a special prosecutor appointed to investigate ATF's Fast and Furious.

Rep. Issa calls for a Special Prosecutor for Fast and Furious!

     Rep. Issa said on Tuesday, "We'd like to have a true special prosecutor, particularly when it's obvious if Eric Holder didn't know (about Fast and Furious), it's because he didn't want to know or because he wasn't doing his job. That creates a clear pattern of we'd like to know who did know and why they didn't brief the attorney general."
     "One of the questions is, why wouldn't you have known? When was it appropriate for you to be briefed on this and who was keeping it from you?...Where do you spend your days and why aren't you briefed on something like this?"
     During his May testimony, Attorney General Eric Holder was asked when he first became aware he responded: "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
     Rep. Issa remains skeptical about current administration officials not knowing about this operation in advance. We support Rep. Issa's calling for a special prosecutor. Please fax every Member of Congress to call for a special prosecutor; and for the resignation of Eric Holder! Be sure to fax today!
     There is also brand new, damaging evidence against the ATF in secretly recorded conversations with a primary gun dealer. Apparently, some additional evidence was WITHHELD during the investigation of the murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
     The tapes were recorded in mid-March, this year, by the primary gun dealer cooperating with ATF in its Fast and Furious Operation. Andre Howard, owner of Lone Wolf Trading Company in Glendale, Arizona, has talked with the lead case ATF agent Hope MacAllister. Of course the tapes have been turned over to the Congressional investigation committee, as well as the Inspector General.
     The damaging revelations refer to a third weapon which was recovered at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Court records originally only mentioned TWO weapons, which were both sold to suspects who were under ATF's watch as part of Fast and Furious.
     Law enforcement sources and others close to the Congressional investigation say the Justice Department's Inspector General obtained the audio tapes several months ago as part of its investigation into Fast and Furious. Then, the sources say for some reason the Inspector General passed the tapes along to the U.S. Attorney's General Office in Arizona; also a subject in the investigation.
     It is very unclear as to why the Inspector General, who is supposed to investigate independently, would turn over evidence to an entity that is itself under investigation.
     In the audiotapes, ATF Agent MacAllister tells Howard that a THIRD WEAPON recovered at the Brian Terry murder scene last December is an SKS assault rifle. Of course it is very unclear as to why a weapon would be MISSING from the evidence disclosed at the crime scene under FBI jurisdiction.
     This NEW evidence incriminates the hierarchy of the Department of Justice, which oversees the ATF, for trying to hide the TRUTH from the American people!
     These admissions make the case for the RESIGNATION of Attorney General Eric Holder! NOW!
     America needs an independent counsel to see if President Obama was in the direct line of fire for this murderous injustice! Time will tell! This extraordinary cover-up by the Department of Justice shows the culpability of the Attorney General. We need a Special Prosecutor appointed by Congress to get to the bottom of this!
     Eric Holder MUST resign!
     Now, the family of deceased Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is demanding real answers! And Eric Holder cannot deliver!
     An internal ATF email dated the day after Terry's death reveals the quick decision to not disclose the source of weapons found at the murder scene: "...this way we do not divulge our current case (Fast and Furious) or the Border Patrol shooting case ."
     Agent Terry, killed on Dec. 21 near Rio Rico, Arizona, was murdered by drug cartel gunmen--using weapons smuggled across the US-Mexican border under the auspices of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms(BATF). This is under the "watch" of Attorney General Eric Holder. THIS MUST BE STOPPED---and NOW!
     "While the cartels shoot up half of Mexico, and terrorize the other half, it seems they've been getting a helping hand from those geniuses in Washington, whose 'law enforcement' agencies knowingly allowed sophisticated firearms to be smuggled across the border, into Mexico," as BATF special agent John Dodson told the House Oversight Committee:
     Justin Raimondo, writes: "'This is not a matter of some weapons that had gotten away from us or allowing a few to walk so that we could follow them to a much larger significant target. Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals was the plan. This was the mandate.
     "'ATF is supposed to be the guardians--the sheep dogs that protect against the wolves that prey upon us--especially along our southern border. But rather than meet the wolf head on, we sharpened his teeth, added number to his claws, all the while we sat idly by watching, tracking, and noting as he became a more efficient and effective predator.'
     "This goes way beyond mere 'blowback'--the CIA's terminology for actions that produce unintended and unpleasant consequences. Because it's hard to fathom exactly what was intended--unless it was the desire to sow chaos in Mexico and create a new threat to US citizens in the border states."
     Raimondo goes on to write, "Governments don't allow such large weapons shipments to pass over their borders to foreign customers without having some foreign policy objective in mind--and, when it comes to the empire-builders in Washington what other purpose could it be than the expansion of the imperial frontiers?"
     Quite frankly, the ATF Agents are the ones who are "telling" on Eric Holder!
     Mr. Holder---do you have no shame?!
     Patriotic Americans can see through the sham of what Eric Holder has thrown out to the public. He is the very culprit in this DOJ COVER-UP!!
          Just as we predicted almost three months ago, ATF Acting Director Ken Melson is the "official scapegoat" for the ATF Fast and Furious debacle.
     He was moved from this job at the Bureau. ATF Special Agents in Charge announced during a conference call that he was being "reassigned." 
     Kenneth Melson's "lateral move" as acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is a political SCAM of the highest order; when, in fact, the one responsible should resign---Attorney General Eric Holder. Or maybe his boss---President Obama!
     Contrary to his pleadings of innocence, he really did know what was going on! He has fraudulently misled the American people. He knew all about "Fast and Furious" selling of weapons to Mexican drug cartels. Yet, he pled innocence; even when federal agents were killed by Fast and Furious guns at the crime scenes.
     Please help us to alert the United States Congress to the fact that Eric Holder should RESIGN!
     We need to urge Congress to call for a Special Prosecutor so we can get to the very bottom of this sham!
     The Attorney General wants to make the public appear that he is acting in response to the Fast and Furious scandal, by replacing and reassigning the acting ATF Director. This scandal is under current investigation in both houses of Congress; and the finger tends to point to Eric Holder, in that he probably knew, all along, about the illegal activities of the ATF. Over one dozen crimes in the United States have weapons traced back to the Fast and Furious weapons trade to the drug cartels in Mexico!
     Quite frankly, Eric Holder is not only "covering himself,"but very possibly "covering" his boss--President Obama!

     This "reassignment" - especially since Acting ATF Director Melson gave some damaging testimony a couple of months ago--- does nothing to reassure the public that the ATF knows what they are doing.
     What federal agent will be next to be murdered because of an o'ill-conceived plan?
     ERIC HOLDER MUST RESIGN!

     Instead of Melson being the "fall guy," Eric Holder is the one who is responsible! In reality, "the buck stops" at the door of the White House!
     Under normal conditions, Melson might have been fired by Holder. But Melson testified before a special July 4th congressional investigation. He complained that the Justice Department had misled him about his right to testify without Department of Justice supervision.
     So, who is to blame for the over 2,000 guns that were sold during the operation?
     ATTORNEY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER AND PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA!

     President Obama is using this mistake (in his own administration and where the buck ultimately stops with him!) to say that guns should be MORE controlled! He is using his own faulty and DEADLY strategy to say that additional gun control must happen now! (When it was his fault---and the fault of Eric Holder---all the time!).
     Will you please call for the resignation of Eric Holder as Attorney General because his lack of leadership has caused the murder of federal agents due to Fast and Furious!! Support Rep. Issa's call for a special prosecutor!
     Please help the family of Agent Terry to find answers and CLOSURE from his death! This closure can begin with the RESIGNATION of Attorney General Eric Holder! Please fax today!

     Respectfully, Tony Adkins, Conservative Action Alerts at: www.ConservativeActionAlerts.com
     P. S. Eric Holder cannot be trusted to tell us the absolute TRUTH about Operation Fast and Furious. Please do whatever you can to ask for his RESIGNATION so that we can get the entire truth about this administration debacle!

W Ketchup Calls on Congress to Release Students from Debt Bondage

     Eagle Bridge, NY - September 28, 2011 - In ancient Rome, a creditor could not only seize the goods of an insolvent debtor, but also could sell him and his family into slavery.  In the Middle Ages, defaulting debtors had an ear removed, or were branded, to warn future would-be lenders of their credit history.  As recently as the mid-19^th century, borrowers who could not repay their loans were sent to debtors' prison.
     Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States charges Congress with creating a bankruptcy code.  The purpose of bankruptcy is to provide a non-fraudulent debtor with a fresh start to allow him to re-engage in the commerce of society, since neither debtor, nor creditor, nor society benefits from a debtor languishing in prison.
     The advent of bankruptcy codes in the 19^th century made economic failure tolerable, enabling the risk-taking that caused the economy to flourish.  Moreover, forcing creditors to evaluate the risk of a loan minimized predatory lending, adding efficiency to capital allocation.  It is no accident that the industrial revolution occurred simultaneously with the abolition of debtors' prisons.
     In the United States student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy.  Student debt outstanding has grown from $200 billion in 2000 to nearly $1 trillion today, surpassing the level of credit card debt.
     Dan Oliver, CEO of W Ketchup, commented: "It is no wonder that feral bankers enabled by corrupt politicians have focused their efforts on peddling a form of debt from which there is no escape.  Americans who fell victim to this scam now discover they are debt slaves to a plutocrat Wall Street class, just like the Roman plebeians before them."
     The largest student loan originator is Sallie Mae, a government sponsored enterprise created in 1972 and privatized in 1997.  The New York Times has estimated that Chairman and CEO Albert Lord was compensated with over $450 million in stock.  Lord was investigated for insider trading when he dumped shares in the company three days before Bush announced cuts to the student loan program.  He recently paid $30 million to build a private golf course.
          Other large holders of student loans include Citigroup, Wachovia, JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs.  In May, the Department of Education mobilized a SWAT team to raid a residential home in connection with a student loan.
     W Ketchup Chairman Bill Zachary reacted: "President Obama, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, has not only attacked several countries since he was elected, but it appears he has now militarized the Department of Education, even while attempting to restrict the gun ownership of law abiding citizens.  Obama has heeded his Wall Street masters' demands that he enforce their debt contracts by force."
     Goldman Sachs was the second largest contributor to Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, Citigroup was sixth, followed by JPMorgan Chase. University of California and Harvard University were first and third, respectively. The previous Chairman of the University of California, Russell Gould, served concurrently as a Senior Vice-President of Wachovia.
     Zachary added: "The incentuous overlapping among financial, educational, and political interests and individuals reveals the endemic corruption that the Democratic expansion of the state has engendered."

     In bankruptcy, the insolvent borrower surrenders all of his goods to his creditors, and the remainder of the debt is destroyed.  Without bankruptcy, the residual debt can compound at a rate that allows the creditor to lay claim to all of a borrower's future economic output, creating indentured servitude.
     In 594 B.C., Solon became the ruler of Athens and decreed that debtors could not be sold into slavery.  In 45 B.C. the Romans copied Solon's law abolishing debt bondage.
          Oliver charged: "It's past time for America to emulate the great, civilized nations of the past.  We demand Congress fulfill its Constitutional responsibility to allow all insolvent borrowers to declare bankruptcy and receive a fresh start, freed from the debt fetters of parasitic bankers."
      W Ketchup was founded to free Americans from the ketchup monopoly, and to allow all Americans to support a ketchup that shares their beliefs.

o'mam - Europe Died in Auschwitz: Eurabian multiculturalism & Islamomerica

Take the brief quiz below the newspaper article bottom and then read the opine below that.-- rfh  Without regard to the article's true origin or authenticity, what it speaks of is today's reality! -- rfh  

The first reference you get when you google "Sebastian Vivar Rodriguez" is an online Spanish magazine Gentiuno and their posting of Nov 21, 2004:Europa murió en Auschwitz (Europe Died in Auschwitz) by Sebastián Vivar Rodríguez (source: http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/03/sebastian_vilar_rodriguez_turn.html & http://plancksconstant.org/blog/2006/02/frontpage1.html)

From: ocz Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 Subject:  A 2008 newspaper article that bears repeating (related: http://frontpagemag.com & http://www.jihadwatch.org)

EUROPEAN LIFE  DIED IN AUSCHWITZ The following is a copy of an article purported to have been written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on Jan. 15, 2008.  It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest  of the  world.  REMEMBER  AS YOU READ How Europe Died  The following is an article written by a Spanish journalist, Sebastian Villar Rodriguez.  Europe died in Auschwitz         I was walking along Raval (Barcelona) when all of a sudden I understood that Europe died with Auschwitz.      We assassinated 6 million Jews in order to end up bringing in 20 million Muslims!      We burnt in Auschwitz the culture, intelligence and power to create.      We burnt the people of the world, the one who is proclaimed the chosen people of God.      Because it is the people who gave to humanity the symbolic figures who were capable of changing history (Christ, Marx, Einstein, Freud...) and who is the origin of progress and wellbeing.      We must admit that Europe, by relaxing its borders and giving in under the pretext of tolerance to the values of a fallacious cultural relativism, opened it's doors to 20 million Muslims, often illiterates and fanatics that we could meet, at best, in places such as Raval, the poorest of the nations and of the ghettos, and who are preparing the worst, such as the 9/11 and the Madrid bombing and who are lodged in apartment blocs provided by the social welfare.      We also have exchanged culture with fanaticism, the capacity to create with the will to destroy, the wisdom with the superstition.       We have exchanged the transcendental instinct of the Jews, who even under the worst possible conditions have always looked for a better peaceful world, for the suicide bomber. We have exchanged the pride of life for the fanatic obsession of death. Our death and that of our children.      What a grave mistake that we made!!! ******************************************************* related: http://frontpagemag.com/2011/09/27/sharia-vigilante-street-justice-in-america/ -- rfh A  lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine America can suffer defeat without any  inconvenience to themselves.      Absolutely No Profiling!  Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the following multiple choice test.      These events are actual events from history.  They really happened!  Do you  remember?

In 1985 TWA  flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy  diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered  by: a. Captain Kidd b. Charles  Lindberg c. Mother Teresa d.

No,  I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?      So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone,  particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of  the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former  Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.      Let's send this to as many people as  we can so that the Nancy Pelosis, Gloria Aldreds and  other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves - if they have any such  sense.      We cannot allow the socialist  transformation being brought on by the current  administration to continue.  Look at what it has done to Europe .      We all must stand together before it's too late and everything America stands for is lost.      The Global Islamic population is approximately 1,200,000,000; that is ONE BILLION TWO  HUNDRED MILLION or 20% of the world's  population.

Why do we detect some of the same currents even in the United States? And why on earth can’t Europeans give stronger support to the survivors of the Holocaust in Israel?      Yes, we have been sold out by our elites through the creation of Eurabia and the wiping out of our own cultures through Multiculturalism. But this is only half of the story. In democratic societies, even if sometimes flawed ones, this would never have been possible if there wasn’t a profound undercurrent of self-loathing present in the general public already. The trauma caused by the events of 70 years ago is clouding our judgment this time, since any talk at all about the threat posed by Muslim immigration or about preserving our own culture is being dismissed as “the same rhetoric as the Nazis used against the Jews.” Europeans have been taught to be so scared of our own shadow that we are incapable of seeing that darkness can come from the outside, too. Maybe Europe will burn again, in part as a belated reaction to the horrors of Auschwitz.      V.S. Naipaul has called India “a wounded civilization.” But maybe it’s really Europe that is the wounded civilization, the difference being that India’s wounds were inflicted from the outside, whereas Europe’s wounds are largely self-inflicted. Islam isn’t destroying Europe, Europe is destroying itself. Just as a patient with AIDS may formally die from flu or even a common cold, the real cause is the long, slow decay of his immune system. It resembles euthanasia on an entire civilization: Europe is tired of living. Islam just puts it out of its misery.      It is almost fascinating to see how self-loathing and West-bashing make scores of people in the media and the academia misunderstand and misrepresent the threat we are facing. The good guys become the bad guys and vice versa, or alternatively, we’re all equally good and bad, since all cultures are equal. Some would say that I am reading too much into a few simple movies. Perhaps. But these are the same people that claim that popular culture will destroy Islam.      Pop culture matters. It both reflects and shapes the values of a civilization. Judging from the message in too many films, almost five years after 9/11 we have hardly even begun to understand the scale of the Islamic challenge. On the contrary, many Westerners are busy demonstrating “understanding,” even sympathy, towards the enemies of civilization.      Britain in “V for Vendetta” is a totalitarian state where the authorities promise peace in return for total submission. Peace for submission, where have we heard this mantra before? I know: Islam. “Islam” means submission, and comes from the same root as “salaam,” which means “peace”. It is curious to notice that in the previous movie by the Wachowski brothers, “The Matrix,” people are turned into slaves and passive tools by living in a make-belief reality designed to pacify them and keep them in chains. In the real world, one fifth of humanity are proud to proclaim themselves “the slaves of Allah,” and consider it their mission in life to make the rest of mankind share their mental bondage.      Islam is the Matrix. Somebody better give the Wachowski brothers their red pills.

Blacks File Racial Discrimination Suit Against Democrats

From: baja Sent: Monday, September 19, 2011 Subject: Blacks File Racial Discrimination Suit Against Democrats

Blacks File Racial Discrimination Suit Against Democrats

     A class action lawsuit has been filed against the Democratic Party on behalf of "the African-American Citizens of the United States" demanding a formal public apology for its treatment of blacks in America.

     The plaintiffs, who refer to the defendants as "Father of Racism," claim that as an organization the Democratic Party has "consistently refused to apologize for the role it played in slavery and Jim Crow laws and for other subsequent racist practices from 1792 to 2011," according to a press release from the Frederick Douglass Foundation.

     The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle, Wash., last Monday. It lists as lead plaintiff Wayne Perryman, an African-American minister, author and community activist from Mercer, Wash.

     "The case cites the collective work of over 350 legal scholars and includes Congressional records, case law, research from our nation's top history professors, racist statements from Democratic elected officials, citations from the Democrats' National Platforms regarding their support of slavery, excerpts of speeches from Senator Obama, individual testimonies from blacks who lived in the Jim Crow South and opinions from the NAACP," the press release states.

     Perryman said President Obama was also named as a defendant because of his position as the official leader of the Democratic Party, and also due to certain statements he made about his party in his book "Dreams from My Father."

     In 2009, the president was asked to issue an apology to blacks on behalf of his party, but refused, according to the Frederick Douglass Foundation.

     The suit seeks a public apology, but no monetary damages.

     Perryman stated: "Any organization that has such a racist history and received 97 percent of the African-American vote (after doing all they could do to deny blacks the right to vote) should willingly apologize without being forced to do so through a lawsuit."

Boatlifters: The unknown story of 9/11 (By Katharine Herrup, Reuters)

From: lc Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2011 Subject: Boat Evacuation 9/11
Lest we forget.   We will never forget.  This is a must see video.  

Subject:  Boat Evacuation 9/11

     This is a great video.  It shows Americans and America at their best.  It is proof that the American spirit is still alive and well, just waiting for an opportunity to show itself.  It should also show Al Quida and their evil allies that they truly awakened a sleeping giant, a people who will never be "terrorized" into submission.

     The video is almost fourteen minutes long.  At first, I deleted it several times due to its length, but the last time I received it I finally opened and watched it.  I'm glad I did. It restored my faith in America and the American spirit.  It could do the same for yours.  I highly recommend you spend the fourteen minutes and watch it to the end.

The great boat evacuation.   I was amazed to see this story on the news yesterday morning.   I knew nothing about it.   We may be all a little overwhelmed by the 9/11 coverage but this overlooked story might really renew your faith in man-kind.   I think of all the stories we have heard about 9/11 this was the most amazing to me.   Heck, if Tom Hanks is narrating it, it has to be great.

Boatlifters: The unknown story of 9/11

article source: http://blogs.reuters.com/katharine-herrup/2011/09/09/boatlifters-the-unknown-story-of-911/

Sep 9, 2011 9/11 | world trade center

By Katharine Herrup
The opinions expressed are her own.
     Much has been written and said about September 11, 2001, on the occasion of its 10th anniversary, but one story much less known is the one about the band of boats that came together to rescue nearly 500,000 New Yorkers from the World Trade Center site on the day the towers collapsed.
     It was the largest boatlift ever to have happened – greater than the one at Dunkirk during World War II.   Yet somehow a story of such large scale became lost in all the rubble.  But a new 10-minute documentary called Boatlift by Eddie Rosenstein captures the boat evacuations that happened on 9/11.  The film is part of four new short documentaries that were created for the 9/11 Tenth Anniversary Summit in Washington, D.C.
     “Boats, usually an afterthought in most New Yorkers minds, were, for the first time in over a century, the only way in or out of lower Manhattan,” says Tom Hanks, the narrator of the film.
     New Yorkers don’t really think of Manhattan as an island since everything from the basics to beyond your wildest imagination is so accessible — not typically a feature associated with island life.  But on September 11, 2001, those trapped below the World Trade Center site who could not escape without swimming or being rescued by a boat were acutely reminded of that fact.

     “People were actually jumping into the river and swimming  out of Manhattan.  Boats were very nearly running them over,” says NY Waterway Captain Rick Thornton in the film.
     The captains and crew of the fleet of boats who rescued so many on 9/11 came together with no idea what they would be getting into and no idea whether Manhattan would be attacked again let alone their very own boats.  All they knew were that desperate people were in need of help and they couldn’t turn their backs on them, even if that meant putting their own lives at risk.
     “If it floated, and it could get there, it got there,” engineer of the Mary Gellatly Robin Jones recalls.
     “I never want to say the word ‘I should have’,” says Vincent Ardolino, captain of the Amberjack V.   “I tell my children the same thing, never go through life saying you should have.  If you want to do something, you do  it.” 
The New York Waterway, the Coast Guard, ferries, tug boats, private boats, party boats, small professional diving boats, and more ferried hundreds of thousands of people to Staten Island, Brooklyn, upper Manhattan, the Bronx and Queens in less than nine hours.  Their crews are typical (in every best sense of the word) New Yorkers and ordinary civilians who came together after a distress call came in from the U.S. Coast Guard in New York.

     Perhaps one of the most amazing aspects of this mass-scale operation was that were no evacuation plans for such a rescue.  “You couldn’t have planned nothing to happen that fast that quick,” Jones said.

     “I’ve never seen so many tug boats all at once,” captain of the Staten Island Ferry James Parese says. “I worked on the water for 28 years, I’ve never seen that many boats come together at one time that fast.  One radio call and they just all came together,” Jones said.
     It was the ethic code of the seas that made the boat rescues such a success.  If a boat needed refueling, another one would pull up alongside it and give it 10,000 gallons of fuel with no questions asked or no one asking for payment.  If a woman in a wheelchair needed to be lifted over the fence on the water’s edge to get into one of the boats, there were more than enough hands to help lift her. If people were stranded on a ledge by the water, they would get picked up by a boat.  No one was left behind.
     One of the arresting images in the film was of a massive throng of people pressed up against and even hanging over the rails along the water waving their hands, hoping someone would come to their rescue.  They were at land’s end in downtown Manhattan, no easy place to conduct any sort of boat rescue since there aren’t many docking places or spots to put a boat ramp.
     It was a day that lots of local, ordinary people become heroes.  It was a day that was supposed to tear America apart, but instead brought Americans together.  It was a day that brought out the best in many people.
     “We wanted to tell a story that reminds Americans that this is a country that bounces back from adversity,” the President of the Center for National Policy Stephen Flynn, who had been a U.S. Coast Guard officer, told me.  “Our national DNA is resilience.  The key for us is to move forward with some key lessons and one of the lessons missing is the strength of civil society and how it responded when 9/11 happened.

o'street organizer - Prepare: Labor Gearing Up to "Take What's Theirs."

From: Lee Bellinger  Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2011 Subject: Disturbing Signs Union Bosses Intend to Feast on Americans

Big Labor Bosses Gearing Up to "Take What's Theirs" – LOOK OUT!

     With housing market continuing to sink, most people are coming to grips with the reality that America's "good old days" of consumer-driven debt consumption funded by rising home values aren't coming back.
     And with most manufacturing, energy production, and other job-creating opportunities smothered under an ocean of regulations, the private sector simply cannot reinvent itself with the creation of new industries or products.
     So get ready, millions of Americans will probably end up working instead for Uncle Sam – not just by digging holes and filling them in, but also through grand construction projects that will be the modern-day equivalent of constructing pyramids for the ruling elite.
Should Workers Need Permission from Union Bosses to Get a Job?
     As state-level finances continue to deteriorate around the country, the White House is pushing yet another "jobs bill" that will spawn a number of construction projects and other make-work programs to "create jobs."
     While this legislation is dead on arrival up on Capitol Hill, some version is likely to eventually pass – especially as it becomes clear that the private sector can't and won't hire millions of workers anytime soon.  At some point, Democrats will elicit GOP support for launching new infrastructure projects.
     Which means that if most ordinary Americans want a chance at getting one of these politically created jobs, they had better be unionized.   Because it's Big Labor that construction projects funded by the central government primarily benefit (except where the bidding firm is owned by a woman, disabled veteran, or favored minority).
Big Labor vs. the Unemployed: Get Ready for Fireworks

     Enter the problem of union violence and intimidation being added to the causes of rising social chaos.   Earlier this month, union militants in Washington State reacted violently when a Port of Longview company hired workers who simply belonged to another union.
     Five hundred union hotheads forced their way into the Port of Washington.   The six security guards on duty were no match for the sheer number of union "protesters."   Before the raid was over, the union agitators broke windows, spilled grain supplies due to be shipped, and cut train brake lines to endanger the lives of rail workers and the public at large.
Rising Discontent Encourages Union Thugs to Attack Enemies
     Union bosses make up a powerful lobbying group, feel a tremendous sense of entitlement, and tend to react angrily when they don't get to call the shots.   And they have a virtual army of union activists who will do the union bosses' bidding of taking to the streets.   Get them stoked with beer and angry talk, and violence will often result.
     We're already starting to see events that foreshadow the coming societal and economic breakdown.   The violent union protest in Longview, Washington is just one example.
     Today, I'm going to tell you why you need to take notice of union militancy and how it can hit you right in the pocketbook.
Are We Headed for a Big Labor Showdown?
     When the social order starts to collapse, you can bet the big unions in this country – especially the government unions – won't sit idly by.   Union bosses will stir the pot to try to make things come out in their favor.   I've already mentioned the recent Longshoremen Union mayhem in Washington State, but there's more:
     At a Labor Day rally, AFL-CIO President Jimmy Hoffa incited union activists to prepare for a war and to "take these sons of bitches out," referring specifically to people calling for smaller government and more political transparency.
     In the spring of this year, Wisconsin union bosses turned to intimidation and threats to try to prevent the passage of a bill that would limit their special privileges.
     During the 2010 election season, several news accounts documented SEIU thugs intimidating and assaulting voters who spoke in support of candidates not endorsed by Big Labor.
     In many cities, close ties between organized labor and the political system are largely responsible for strapped budgets.  The largest single factor is the bloated, defined-benefit pension plans that commit the taxpayers for decades to trillion-dollar obligations.   Wasteful work rules, featherbedding, and pointless bureaucratic jobs that can never be cut are other factors.
     As private-sector jobs become more scarce and local and state budgets get stretched thin, you can bet that union bosses will resist cuts in government with all they have.
You can count on more violent protests and other ugly intimidation as the economy gets worse.   But that's not all you need to be concerned about.   You also need to keep a close eye on your wallet.
If the Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease... It's Time We Started Squeaking
     You and I need to pay attention to the effects organized labor is having on the political system, the economy, and even on the social order.   Of course, you're a savvy, informed reader, so I know you already do pay attention.   But, make sure you start following union disruptions in the news.   If they are carrying signs and chanting slogans today, they could be wielding crowbars and storming buildings tomorrow.
     Also watch how politicians treat the union bosses, watch for laws that union officials favor or oppose... and watch the extreme reactions when they don't get their way.
     Expect schools, hospitals, fire stations, and other public services increasingly to be held ransom to union-boss demands.
     And start voting with your dollars.  You might decide you don't want to avoid doing business with unionized companies.
     Also, start identifying products and services you use that could be at the mercy of union disruptions.  Foodstuffs are a big one here.  Union officials hold a lot of sway over shipping and trucking, and they could easily disrupt the flow of food supplies... at least temporarily.  (Nationwide transportation strikes happen routinely in France, for example.)   I've said it before, but it bears repeating: If you don't already have a 90-day supply of food on hand, now is the time to start stocking up.
     Finally, let other people know what you think.  When there's controversy, it's easy to clam up and keep your opinions to yourself.  But, we owe it to the future of our economy and our society not to be silent.
     Keep an eye out for your next Ready-for-Anything Report.  Each week, I bring you new information about the growing threats to your money, to your lifestyle, and to your health and comfort, so that you can be prepared for what's coming.  Stay tuned...
     Yours in Preparation, Lee Bellinger, Publisher -- Independent Living and Money, Metals, and Mining

"President Barack Obama's gaffe while speaking to the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC.)   He accidentally asks the crowd if they think a billionaire should pay the same tax rate as a Jew and then quickly corrects the flub with the word janitor." -- Rabbi Jason, 26Sep11

Welfare Stats By Race: Let's Get Down To The Nitty Gritty Posted on the African-American Forum, 28Oct07 White 38.8%   --  ~ lesser  Black 39.8        -- ~ 40% of total welfare, 2.5X population Hispanic 15.7   -- ~ same Asian 2.4 other 3.3      To break down these numbers, we look at how many Whites are in the population as a WHOLE.  If Blacks make up less 14% of the population and are almost 40% of all receipients, then they represent about 2.5 times their actual population.  Since Whites are over 50% of the total US pop., they represent less than their overall piece of the pie, population-wise.  Hispanics are at least 15% of the general population, so they take only about as much as what their population represents.  Why am I writing this?  Because I am tired of the misrepresentations on this issue.  I read so many on here claiming that more Whites are on welfare than Blacks (true, in terms of raw numbers), yet not accounting for the fact that there are over 4X as many Whites in this country than Blacks!  In statistics, you cannot go by mere numbers.  Only if the playing field is exactly equal, which is rarely is!  This thread was started, not to be racist, but to keep it real.  After all, there are some legitimate reasons for Blacks to be on welfare more than Whites.  But the worst thing anyone can do is be in denial.

"It's yet another gaffe by the Obama, overlooked by most media for whatever reason.  Like Obama saying Navy CORPSEman.  Or "Abraham-Come-Lately Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party."  Or the 'Austrian' language.  Or '57' states.  Or "we're the country that built the INTERCONTINENTAL railroad."  A railroad between continents?  A railroad from say New York City all the way across the Atlantic to France?  Imagine if it was a Republican saying all this dumb crap.  You'd never hear the end of it." -- logansGT
