By now, everyone who cares has heard or read about Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) transparent and cowardly slandering of Gov. Mitt Romney last week, while protected from being sued over the matter because he was speaking on the Senate floor.
Using the old…’someone, who shall remain anonymous, called me today’ routine, the diminutive Nevada Democrat said an investor in Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital, told him Romney had not paid any income taxes over the past 10 years…
The word’s out that he hasn’t paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t.
Mitt Romney, rightfully and forcefully denied Reid’s accusation, and immediately called his bluff from the stump, and later on Sean Hannity’s FOXNews show, demanding that “Harry” … “put up, or shut up,” according to a FOXNews article today.
Harry’s going to have to describe who it is he spoke with, because, of course, that is totally and completely wrong. It’s untrue, dishonest and inaccurate. It’s wrong.
So, I’m looking forward to have Harry reveal his sources, and we will probably find out it’s the White House.
Any proverbial ‘fifth-grader’ would have immediately spotted Reid’s [juvenile] gambit as just another impotent tactic in the broader Democratic attack on Romney for declining to release more than the legally required two years of tax returns.
Not surprisingly, Obama campaign adviser, David Axelrod, told “Fox News Sunday” that he doesn’t know “who Harry was talking to,” according to a FOXNews article today.
Why would Team Obama heavy-weights like Harry Reid and David Axelrod cast themselves as ‘Dumb and Dumber’ on the national stage?
Simple…the very expensive, but light-weight Obama assaults against Romney have completely missed their target, regardless of what Democrat-over-sampled mainstream media polls ‘reveal,’ and they feel they may find a ‘silver bullet‘ in those additional tax returns, with which to beguile the electorate.
Unfortunately for them, Team Romney rightfully refuses to ship.
The truth is that time is running out and the walls are closing in quickly on Team Obama–especially in the fundraising department, as Mitt Romney and the RNC raised another $101 million in July, bringing their total bank balance to $186 million…not including the financially formidable GOP Super PACs.
Pitifully, Reid and Axelrod’s detestable behavior confirms this, and that Democrats truly believe Independent voters have no cognitive powers or integrity, and that misguided calculus is exactly what will deliver a dramatic Democrat demise 95 days from now.
Soros-funded organization charged former Fox News host with 'anti-Semitism'
A George Soros-funded leftist group that describes itself as a Jewish organization last night honored Van Jones at its annual dinner gala.
The Jewish Funds for Justice, or JFFJ, was the driving force behind a campaign to paint former Fox News host Glenn Beck as anti-Semitic after Beck used his show to air a special investigation into Soros.
WND previously found JFFJ is led by individuals associated with communist and socialist groups, the children of Soviet spies and a U.S. socialist organization that seeks to infiltrate the Democratic Party.
The group has been vocal in its support of the Occupy movement.
Together with the Progressive Jewish Alliance, the JFFJ held its annual “Pursuit of Justice” award gala last night. The event took place at the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles and was hosted by comedian Paula Poundstone.
The dinner honored Jones, President Obama’s infamous former “green jobs” czar who resigned after it was exposed he founded a communist revolutionary organization and called for “resistance” against the U.S.
The gala also honored Steve Rohde, the former president of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.
“Attending this event will be over 500 deeply committed, politically active, highly influential and progressive supporters which ally themselves with social justice issues. Join us!” read the JFFJ invitation.
It was Beck’s Fox News show that helped spotlight Jones’ radicalism, which was first reported by WND and by the New Zeal blog months before Beck took up the issue. The Fox News spotlight eventually led to Jones stepping down.
After Beck’s weeklong special on Soros, the JFFJ in January 2011 delivered a petition with 10,000 signatures to Fox News in protest of the Soros show in which Beck referred to the billionaire as a “puppet master.” JFFJ deemed the show anti-Semitic.
JFFJ also took out full-page ads in several newspapers, including the Wall Street Journal, demanding that Beck be sanctioned.
JFFJ recently had defended the Occupy movement in the face of charges it had taken an anti-Semitic tone, as WND previously exposed.
JFFJ activists also reportedly led high-holiday services last year at New York City, Boston and Los Angeles Occupy sites, including prayers for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. The group helped erect sukkot, or customary temporary booths, at Occupy sites during the Feast of Tabernacles.
JFFJ is led by an assortment of radicals.
The group says it is seeking to create a just, fair and compassionate America, with social and economic security for all citizens. The group believes that “by transforming leaders, we are better able to transform society” and “create a more just world.”
The group also promotes “green” jobs, immigration reform and was a champion of Obama’s health-care bill.
JFFJ was founded by Si Khan, who serves on the board of the Rosenberg Fund for Children, which seeks to aid the children of parents the group deems “targeted, progressive activists.”
“We also assist youth who themselves have been targeted as a result of their progressive activities.”
The group was founded by Robert Meeropol, whose parents Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were accused of passing crucial nuclear secrets to the Soviets and executed in 1953.
JFFJ board member Amy Dean, meanwhile, has keynoted a Communist Party event and was involved with a U.S. socialist party.
She keynoted the Chicago Communist Party USA’s 22nd Annual People’s World Banquet last December. At the event, CPUSA labor secretary Scott Marshall deemed Dean’s work visionary and innovative.
Dean reportedly used the address to call for “much more” to be done “to build up the movement to ensure the Obama agenda and progressive change is advanced in Congress.”
In November 2011, Dean keynoted the seventh annual Working Class Media & Democracy Forum in St. Louis, which the New Zeal blog reports was arranged by Communist Party member Tony Pecinovsky.
Dean also was involved with the New Party, a controversial 1990s political party that sought to elect members to public office with the aim of moving the Democratic Party far leftward to ultimately form a new political party with a socialist agenda.
WND previously reported on evidence from the party’s own newsletter listing President Obama a member of the New Party.
Also, Marxist activist Carl Davidson recalled in a 2009 WND email interview that Obama participated in the New Party. He affirmed that Obama’s views overlapped with those of his party.
JFFJ board member Janice Fine was also a New Party leader and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, another socialist group.
JFFJ board member Donna Katzin is a former activist with the Cuba Resource Center.
New Zeal reported she is a donor to the Oakland, Calif.-based Data Center, which itself has close ties to Cuba.
JFFJ’s president and CEO, Simon Greer, previously worked as a labor and community organizer and social change leader for 15 years.
Greer previously wrote that he has had the “privilege of getting to know George Soros.”
“During our conversations, he made it clear that his experience surviving the Holocaust seared a simple but profound truth in his brain,” Greer said.
WND reported JFFJ runs a Selah Leadership Program, which provides community organizing training to local leaders. As of mid-2007, more than 200 leaders from 165 organizations had gone through the program.
Past participants include Heather Booth, founder of the radical Midwest Academy, which teaches the tactics of radical 1960s community organizer Saul Alinsky.
WND was first to report that the Woods Fund, a Chicago nonprofit on which Barack Obama served as paid director alongside Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers, provided money to Midwest Academy.
WND also broke the story that the executive director of Midwest Academy was part of the team that developed and delivered a group of volunteers for Obama’s 2008 campaign.
Another past participant in JFFJ’s training program is Working Families Party Executive Director Dan Cantor.
JFSJ was listed as an endorsing organization of the One Nation rally in Washington, D.C., in October 2010, which was meant to counter Beck’s Washington event in August of that year.
The group has worked with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
“We are proud to be associated with the work of CAIR,” declared Jeffrey Denko, JFSJ’s senior vice president.
Self-Avowed Communist, Obama friend & operative, and former Green Energy Czar Van Jones and his organization Color of Change was/is now attacking the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). ALEC is the nation’s largest nonpartisan individual membership association of state legislators, with over 2,000 state legislators across the nation and more than 100 alumni members in Congress. ALEC’s mission is to promote free markets, limited government, and federalism throughout the states.
The following statement was released by ALEC in Response to the Outpouring of Support in Wake of the Intimidation Campaign Against Its Members:
Statement by ALEC in Response to the Outpouring of Support in Wake of Intimidation Campaign Against Its Members
(Washington, D.C.) April 12, 2012—Ron Scheberle, Executive Director of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), issued the following statement today in response to the support the organization has received in response to the intimidation campaign against its members:
“Over the last 24 hours, ALEC has been inundated with letters of support from elected officials, community leaders and concerned citizens in response to the intimidation campaign launched by a coalition of extreme liberal activists committed to silencing anyone who disagrees with their agenda.
“I am thankful for the support and want to take this opportunity to remind people what we are facing:
“First, the people now attacking ALEC and its members are the same people who have always pushed for big-government solutions. Our support for free markets and limited government stands in stark contrast to their state-dependent utopia. This is not about one piece of legislation. This is an attempt to silence our organization and it has been going on for more than a year.
“Second, ALEC is one of America’s premier ideas laboratories when it comes to advocating free market reforms. We are a target because our opponents believe they have the opportunity to attack an effective, successful organization that promotes free-market, limited government policies that they disagree with. We work to promote the Freedom of Choice in Health Care initiative against ObamaCare’s individual mandate. We support fair tax policies and tort reform. This is an all-out intimidation campaign designed to promote government-based solutions rather than the free-market principles that we have seen work.
“Finally, now more than ever, America needs organizations like ALEC to foster the discussion and debate of policy differences in an open, transparent way and not fall back on bullying, intimidation and threats.”

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is the nation’s largest nonpartisan individual membership association of state legislators, with over 2,000 state legislators across the nation and more than 100 alumni members in Congress. ALEC’s mission is to promote free markets, limited government, and federalism throughout the states.
This attack is just another Team Obama attack in their ongoing war to silence conservative and pro-Constitutional voices in government and throughout America! If there is a problem with ALEC, how about with the Congressional Progressive Caucus and other liberal and Progressive groups in Washington D.C., in and around all branches and levels of government directly or indirectly and groups like the Color of Change trying to affect them?
This is not the first time that Color of Change has launched an attack campaign that has backfired:
This topic hits home because I am a product of the California public school system and of the UC college system… And most of my friends and our children went to school and college in California as well. I was a college student in the early 1970’s, when Berkley radicalism was in its hay day and Angela Davis was teaching at UCLA. (Even in the 1970’s the focus was on politics and for the professors to publish… not on teaching the basics. I once had an English professor, who regularly said, “Once you are our of college and have time to get a real education, you should read this book…”) It was a time when all things radical were cool with the young and most parents thought it was just an unsettling fad… that would pass. Instead it was the first open test of the modern American Progressive Movement that changed America forever. But as the turbulent 1960’s and 1970’s drew to a close and the radicals went to work underground to promote their progressive ideas to eventually become mainstream enough to ‘become the man’, mainstream middle-America went back to sleep believing that it was just a minor flare-up.
The radicals of the 1970’s who were inspired by Saul Alinsky and his writings and Cloward & Piven and their strategies are still politically active and are still working to overthrow Capitalism and the American system as we know it. They are teaching in our universities where they have trained several new generations of radicals and are teaching them to agitate using the same techniques they used… to reach the planned endgame.
The next generation, inspired by these ‘60’s radical progressives, included the Clintons (Video: Remember Hillary’s famous debate comment in 2007: “I prefer to think of myself as a Progressive!”, after being asked if she was a liberal.) and Barack Obama and his Team in the White House. The newest generation are out in the streets as Occupy Wall Street or Occupy all over America and all over the world, being manipulated by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, the Radke brothers, Andy Stern, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and many progressives in our government, including in the White House… and their disciples, people like Van Jones.
William Ayers, in a pep talk to an Occupy Wall Street gaggle, said he (still) wakes up every morning thinking about how he's going to end capitalism -- though he acknowledged he goes to bed "every night disappointed."
The co-founder of the radical, Vietnam-era Weather Underground was videotaped chatting up what was identified as an Occupy Union Square group this past week in New York City. He was out checking on the seeds of his American Bolshevik Revolution.
For anyone who missed it, Barack Obama started his political career in Bill Ayer’s home and now it seems that Ayers’ family helped Obama with college, as well as Ayers’s being involved in the writing if not the actual author of Obama’s 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father. Yet Obama tells us he hardly knew him?!?
Berkowitz’s findings confirm what most non-progressives who have spent anytime on a college campus, in California or most anywhere else in the United States, or with college students already figured out. The universities (the UC system) are hot beds for radicals: Progressives, Communists, Marxists who generally proselytize their beliefs in the classroom and at activities on and off campus… and are encouraged to do so. (Conservative ideas, critical and free thinking and individualism are pretty much non-existent and not taught… if even tolerated.)
The politicization of higher education by activist professors and compliant university administrators deprives students of the opportunity to acquire knowledge and refine their minds. It also erodes the nation's civic cohesion and its ability to preserve the institutions that undergird democracy in America.
So argues "A Crisis of Competence: The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism in the University of California," a new report by the California Association of Scholars, a division of the National Association of Scholars (NAS). The report is addressed to the Regents of the University of California, which has ultimate responsibility for governing the UC system, but the pathologies it diagnoses prevail throughout the country.
The analysis begins from a nonpolitical fact: Numerous studies of both the UC system and of higher education nationwide demonstrate that students who graduate from college are increasingly ignorant of history and literature. They are unfamiliar with the principles of American constitutional government. And they are bereft of the skills necessary to comprehend serious books and effectively marshal evidence and argument in written work.
Hoover Institution fellow Peter Berkowitz on the politicization of higher education by activist professors:
This decline in the quality of education coincides with a profound transformation of the college curriculum. None of the nine general campuses in the UC system requires students to study the history and institutions of the United States. None requires students to study Western civilization, and on seven of the nine UC campuses, including Berkeley, a survey course in Western civilization is not even offered. In several English departments one can graduate without taking a course in Shakespeare. In many political science departments majors need not take a course in American politics.
Moreover, the evidence suggests that the hollowing of the curriculum stems from too many professors' preference for promoting a partisan political agenda.
National studies by Stanley Rothman in 1999, and by Neil Gross and Solon Simmons in 2007, have shown that universities' leftward tilt has become severe. And a 2005 study by Daniel Klein and Andrew Western in Academic Questions (a NAS publication) shows this is certainly true in California. For example, Democrats outnumbered Republicans four to one on University of California, Berkeley, professional school faculties; in the social sciences the ratio was approximately 21 to one.
The same 2005 study revealed that the Berkeley sociology department faculty was home to 17 Democrats and no Republicans. The political science department included 28 Democrats and two Republicans. The English department had 29 Democrats and one Republican; and the history department had 31 Democrats and one Republican.
While political affiliation alone need not carry classroom implications, the overwhelmingly left-leaning faculty openly declare the inculcation of progressive political ideas their pedagogical priority. As "A Crisis of Competence" notes, "a recent study by UCLA's prestigious Higher Education Research Institute found that more faculty now believe that they should teach their students to be agents of social change than believe that it is important to teach them the classics of Western civilization."
Some university programs tout their political presuppositions and objectives openly. The mission statements of the Women's Studies program at UCLA prejudges the issues by declaring that it proceeds from "the perspectives of those whose participation has been traditionally distorted, omitted, neglected, or denied." And the Critical Race Studies program at the UCLA School of law announces that its aim is to "transform racial justice advocacy."
Even the august American Association of University Professors—which in 1915 and 1940 published classic statements explaining that the aim of academic freedom was not to indoctrinate but to equip students to think for themselves—has sided with the politicized professoriate.
In 1915, the AAUP affirmed that in teaching controversial subjects a professor should "set forth justly without suppression or innuendo the divergent opinions of other investigators; he should cause his students to become familiar with the best published expressions of the great historic types of doctrine upon the questions at issue."
However, in recent statements on academic freedom in 2007 and 2011, the AAUP has undermined its almost century-old strictures against proselytizing. Its new position is that restricting professors to the use of relevant materials and obliging them to provide a reasonably comprehensive treatment of the subject represent unworkable requirements because relevance and comprehensiveness can themselves be controversial.
On the boundaries, they can be—like anything else. However, it is wrong to dismiss professors' duty to avoid introducing into classroom discussion opinions extraneous to the subject and to provide a well-rounded treatment of the matter under consideration. That opens the classroom to whatever professors wish to talk about. And in all too many cases what they wish to talk about in the classroom is the need to transform America in a progressive direction. Last year the leadership of AAUP officially endorsed the Occupy Wall Street movement.
Excluding from the curriculum those ideas that depart from the progressive agenda implicitly teaches students that conservative ideas are contemptible and unworthy of discussion. This exclusion, the California report points out, also harms progressives for the reason John Stuart Mill elaborated in his famous 1859 essay, "On Liberty": "He who knows only his own side of the case, knows little of that."
The removal of partisan advocacy from the classroom would have long-term political benefits. Liberal education equips students with intellectual skills valued by the marketplace. It prepares citizens to discharge civic responsibilities in an informed and deliberate manner. It fosters a common culture by revealing that much serious disagreement between progressives and conservatives revolves around differing interpretations of how to fulfill America's promise of individual freedom and equality.
It is certainly true that not all progressive professors intrude their politics into the classroom, but a culture of politicization has developed on campus in which department chairs and deans treat its occurrence as routine. "UC administrators," the California report sadly concludes, "far from performing their role as the university's quality control mechanism, now routinely function as the enablers, protectors, and even apologists for the politicized university and its degraded scholarly and educational standards."
In California, this is more than a failure of their duty as educators. It is also a violation of the law. Article IX, Section 9, of the California state constitution provides that "The university shall be entirely independent of all political or sectarian influence and kept free therefrom."
It is incumbent upon the UC Board of Regents, not to mention the governing bodies of other institutions of higher education across the country, to begin the long and arduous work of depoliticizing our universities and renewing liberal education.. and critical thinking.
Our daughter attended Chapman University, a small private college in California and went off to Semester at Sea as part of her college experience, a fabulous adventure of traveling around the world and studying along the way that we managed to provide for her. They even had Desmond Tutu join them onboard for one leg of the journey where he lectured and the students had one on one access to him. I think the vicarious journey was as exciting, if not even more exciting, for us as it was for her. The professors and staff onboard were rotational from all over the United States and in some cases the world. When our daughter returned home from her sail, she was full of exciting stories but our somewhat apolitical artsy daughter also came home espousing all that is wrong with America, our free-market system and an over-night expert on all that horrors and ills of the world either caused or not fixed by the country that her parents loved, gave her the opportunity to make this amazing journey and that her maternal grandparents sacrificed and left everything behind for to bring their families to the land of freedom and opportunity.
While mainstream America went back to sleep, was hypnotized by the left-controlled media and worked tirelessly to send their children to college, the likes of George Soros, the Rockefellers, Bill Gates and other wealthy progressives funded the radical transformation of America from college campuses to the White House that culminated in the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008 and has been working in overdrive ever since.
Ask Marion~
April's Whistleblower magazine, "THE COLLEGE ILLUSION," this almost sacrosanct belief in college is currently disintegrating before our eyes. It talks about why chasing a degree so often ends in financial and educational chaos. In light of this new study and what those of us paying attention realize, it seems they are right. Unless your child wants to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer or something that absolutely requires a specialized college education skills looking at trade school, entrepreneurship or working yourself up from the bottom and volunteering for internships may be better and definitely cheaper alternatives. And if college is the path, while the college system rebuilds itself, check out the institution you are sending your child off to. Hillsdale College is a good place to start.
It is time that Americans put aside their other activities and interests (including and especially TV) and take a stand. The subscribers to the Progressive Movement have been busy since the early 1900’s and even more so since the end of the open revolution of the 1960’s and 1970’s, now infiltrating every aspect of our lives… from media to education, to control of the food we eat to the White House and Congress… all the while dumbing us down generation by generation… radicalizing and sexualizing our kids. It is time for us all to stand and work or we will surely fall as we sit on our couches watching the hypnotic screen(s)… TV, computers, games…

4/27 thru 4/29 Communist Expo in SF - Bill Ayers is a speaker and 5/3 Van Jones will speak at Berkeley Middle School
One of my patriot friends sent this to me. We need to either get people to both protest the event and also get people to attend. I am going to attend. There is a Communist Expo in SF on 4/27 through 4/29. And then Van Jones will be speaking at a middle school in Berkeley on 5/3.
I say we get people to attend the expo. Split up in groups and do recon. I’m going to register. Anyone want to go let me know. Three days of this crap is going to kill me!
Here’s what Linda sent me:
I received a mailer call a couple of days ago called "11th Annual New Living Expo"....very new age looking. Normally I would have thrown this away but for some reason I looked at every page in this brochure. To my surprise, Bill Ayers will be conducting a workshop on Sunday 4/29! His blurb was sandwiched between "Solutions and Strategies for the End of Time" and "The Secret of Sion" Assembling the Kit". Bill will be leading a workshop on "Occupy This, Occupy That, Occupy Everything!"
The website is www.NewLivingExpo.com and the event will be at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco on 4/27 to 4/29/12.
The workshop description says "Crisis is becoming the new normal in all areas: with approaching catastrophe, and upheaval and resistance punctuating the air and echoing to the far horizons. These times cry out for an opening of our wildest and most radical imaginations. Let's talk together about entering and re-framing the debates, unleashing and re-imaging the possible, reconnecting and organizing for a world in balance, powered by love, and gesturing toward joy and justice".
Also, Van Jones will be speaking at a different venue...5/3 at King Middle School, Berkeley re: "Rebuilding the Dream".
I notified Brian Sussman but have not yet contacted the Minutemen.
Van Jones Rallies with Hawaii's Community Organizers for 'Economic Fairness, Justice' - and a State Bank
Hawaii Reporter - Tuesday, March 20th, 2012
BY MALIA ZIMMERMAN - Van Jones, President Barack Obama’s former green jobs adviser who heads the “Rebuild the Dream” organization, keynoted a rally and a “mass action event” at the Hawaii State Capitol Tuesday night to promote “economic fairness” and “economic justice.” (see the video here)
Environmental activists groups, a union, and the University of Hawaii organized the five-hour event to promote legislation that would establish a State Partnership Bank, or a “clean” and “green” bank, to fund green energy projects, as well as “highlight other legislation that would make the local economy more just and sustainable.”
If Hawaii lawmakers establish a state bank, it will be only the second one in the country, and in some proposals being floated at the capitol, the governor chairs the bank, union leaders serve as directors, and Democrat lawmakers appoint the remaining board. Republicans, who make up just 9 of 76 seats in the legislature, oppose the establishment of a state bank because they say the institution will be financed by taxpayers, will be led by political insiders and will loan money to people for projects that no private bank would authorize, but they are outgunned.
Jones, author of the New York Times bestseller The Green Collar Economy, said Hawaii is one of 10 stops on his tour of the “front lines of the fight for the future of this country.”

“Each of our 10 targeted urban, suburban, and rural stops across America will support a strategic state initiative, such as making corporations pay their fair share, and create a replicable model for grassroots action," Van Jones proclaimed, stating the movement is a “cultural, political, spiritual and educational vehicle bringing together tens of thousands of everyday people in the movement for economic justice and a new economy.”
In his keynote, Jones did not directly address the bank legislation or other legislation pending in Hawaii. Instead he spoke of the dream being “under threat.”
“Not the American dream they talk about on TV,” Jones said. “There are two American dreams. One of them I call the ‘American fantasy.’ You know that one? Everyone is going to be rich. Everybody. And we're all going to be able to ride out to the great white suburbs, get a McMansion, get flat-screened TV to cover up the holes in our lives. That is the American fantasy, which is turning out to be the American nightmare. It is dying out on its own accord - it deserves no defense and it will get no defense. I am glad that is going away. That was not serving anybody.”
Jones called out the people he called “dream killers in America” and “dream killers right here in Hawaii.”

“There are people who have taken the American dream and turned it upside down, inside out. The dream is supposed to be that you can work hard, play by the rules and get somewhere. But you and I both know right here in Hawaii, and across America, the people who are working the hardest and following the rules are the ones who are being left behind, the ones who are suffering the most, the ones who are hurting the most. And yet some people who are not working that hard at all, their investments work for them. And sometimes they break a lot of rules, especially on Wall Street. But they are the ones doing well. That is taking the American dream upside down, inside out. That's killing the dream.”
Jones, who served as an adviser to the White House Council on Environmental Quality for 6 months before resigning in September 2009 amid controversy over statements he made and alliances he had, briefly addressed his time in Washington DC.
“I was there for 6 months. Best 6 months of my life, followed by the worst two weeks. ... What I saw there is why I am here today. I saw some of the most beautiful people, some of the most well intentioned people, some of the smartest people ever to serve in our government, be stopped in their tracks, stopped in their tracks, by people who mean us no good. People who claim to be patriots but seem to hate everybody in America.”
During an address that was videotaped earlier in 2009, he called Republicans "assholes", but it was a petition he signed in 2004 endorsing the "9/11 truther" movement that caught many by surprise. Those supporting the truther movement believe President Bush and his administration were involved in the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on America.
Council Member Tulsi Gabbard spoke at the March 20 rally and thanked her 'pops' - Sen. Mike Gabbard - for passing the state bank legislation out of his energy committee that day. She is a Democratic candidate for Congress. (photo by Mel Ah Ching Productions)
Despite a rocky political past, which ended with the President accepting Jones’ resignation, he is still considered a rising star in the green-energy movement. Jones shared some of his feelings on his political opponents:
“That always struck me as strange. When I said I love America, I mean I actually love the people in America - the people who live in America. Some of them are brown, some of them are female, some of them are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, some of them have bizarre piercings and tattoos, but I love them. How can you say you love America but then despise most of the people who live here. I don't understand that politics. I don't understand how you can say you love America and love the Statute of Liberty, but then not read the poem at the bottom that says "Give me your tired, Give me your poor, Give me your huddled masses who yearn to breathe free." The way I was raised. You can't be an anti immigrant bigot and a patriot at the same time. They don't go together. They don't go together. Not in my America. They don't go together.”
Hoping to capitalize on the energy and excitement many Hawaii Democrats experienced in 2008 when Obama won the presidency, Jones said: “What happened to all that hope? What happened to all that beauty? What happened to all that spirit? Did the people leave the planet? Was there a rocket ship I missed? Did people join that other party with the warm beverage - what is it - the coffee party? No we're still here. We're still here. And we still have each other. We still have each other. No one can take that from us.”
Jones said he looked forward to being in Hawaii because “it is a community working hard to shape an economy that honors people’s environmental, social, and cultural concerns.”
“We also hope the Revivals to build a base of informed and engaged citizens ready to carry their ideas into the 2012 election cycle," he said.

Faith Action for Community Equity (FACE) Hawaii, a group of community organizers affiliated with various local religious groups, co-chaired the event. Other sponsors included Kanu Hawaii, Sierra Club, UNITE HERE Local 5, University of Hawaii, Blue Planet, and Surfrider Foundation. Council member Tulsi Gabbard, who is a candidate for Congress in the upcoming Democratic primary, spoke at the rally.
Also in attendance at the rally that attracted around 400 people were several Democratic lawmakers, including Tulsi’s father, Senator Mike Gabbard, who earlier that day passed the bank legislation out of his energy committee, as well as Senator Will Espero and Gov. Neil Abercrombie.
Earlier in the day, Jones testified at a hearing in support of House Bill 1033, which "establishes the Clean Economy Bank of the State of Hawaii to, among other things: (1) Enable the State, along with other participating states, territories, and municipalities, to leverage aligned resources and collective influence to build a national clean economy that creates jobs, reduces carbon emissions, and ensures the nation's energy security; (2) Support clean economic development within the State and other participating entities; and (3) Lessen the burden on the State and other participating entities to finance qualified renewable energy and other related purposes." The bill, which would tap into $10 million in federal stimulus funds, has already passed the House, and on Tuesday passed the Senate Energy and Environment Committee.
Rebuild The Dream (Van Jones) Putting Up Anti-Romney Billboards!
I just received my email from Rebuild the Dream and it looks like they are going to give Newt Gingrich and all other NON ROMNEY candidates a helping hand. How and Why? Well, take a peak at this newsletter and perhaps you will get as big of a chuckle out of this as I did. I am still laughing! Go put up the billboards RTD and we will thank you for it later! :)
Wow. Just hours before the president called for fairer taxes in the State of the Union address, millionaire Mitt Romney released his tax returns, revealing that he paid a tax rate of just 13.7% on more than $45 million of income.
That is grossly unfair, but these kinds of outrages disappear from the headlines after a few days all the time. We can't let the Romney Loophole become old news, and we need to keep the pressure up on Congress.
Rebuild the Dream is planning to put up billboards in Washington, D.C. with bold headlines proclaiming, "CLOSE THE ROMNEY LOOPHOLE."
The billboards will help keep this tax fairness issue at the center of the debate in Washington. But to get them up, we need to raise $50,000 in the next few days. There are thousands of us reading this email. If we chip in just a few dollars each, we can reach our goal. Can you help?
Hours after we all learned about Mitt's low tax rate (and his Swiss bank account), the president called for fairer taxes including a new minimum tax for millionaires and no higher taxes for 98% of Americans.
That is good, but the tax debate is going to be as tough this year with the Tea Party in Congress as it was last year. We can put the opponents of fairer taxes on defense if we all do our part. Can you chip in?
Thanks, Natalie, Van [Jones], Billy, Jim, Ian, Somer and the rest of the Rebuild the Dream team
Wake-up Peeps… Team Obama is afraid of Romney and are creating this whole Gingrich phenomenon because they know Newt has too much baggage and the the independents won’t vote for him and we are playing right into their hands.
This is another one of of these “the truth doesn’t matter” campaignson Team Obama’s part. They want to run against Gingrich… not Romney!
The Truth About Romney’s Taxes:
As Dennis Miller explains:
Romney (the wealthy) pay 35% corporate taxes. Then they pay 15% capital gains taxes (again, a second bite of the apple on that same money) if it is invested, plus money given to charity and his church. And then when he dies they hit his family with a huge estate tax.
50% of Americans now pay ‘no’ taxes at all. So who is not paying their fair share. Think about it… don’t let the muckrakers convince you of things that aren’t true… or it will hurt our country and economy in the long run.
After nearly a week on the defensive, CNN's John King reports tonight that Newt Gingrich's claim about offering witnesses to ABC News in his defense — to rebut the network's interview with his second wife, Marianne Gingrich — was not true. "Tonight, after persistent questioning by our staff, the Gingrich campaign concedes now Speaker Gingrich was wrong — both in his debate answer, and in our interview yesterday," King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage." An important victory for John King in his ongoing effort to justify last Thursday's confrontation. (Politico)
Latest Poll: Florida GOP Primary: Romney 39%, Gingrich 31%, Santorum 12%, Paul 9% - This Florida survey of 750 Likely Republican Primary Voters was conducted on January 25, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports.
Adding one more to an extensive list of Marxist supporters of Occupy Wall Street, Democratic Socialists of Americajoined the leftist fray with a page dedicated to the movement today. And why not? They share the goals of chaos and top down, bottom up, inside out that the radical left jointly embraces. They are targeting the young, filling them to the brim with propaganda and then sending them out to their local Occupy Wall Street rallies. An army of useful idiots descends not only on Wall Street, but America as a whole. These are your children, your friends, your neighbors… and they are being sucked into a death trap baited with honeyed phrases of hope and redistributive wealth that in actuality are as poisonous as the apple that struck down Snow White. But this time, there is no prince, just the grim reaper lying in wait to collect as violence, death, hunger and war bloom in America’s streets. Viva la revolucion!
Evidently, the Socialists are here to save the day. Yesterday, I heard about a transaction tax the Democrats are pushing. Guess what the top idea of DSA is? Bingo. Welcome to Conyers HR 870: The Humphrey- Hawkins 21st Century Full Employment and Training Act. Mark my words, this will not create jobs, it will just redistribute more wealth through more taxation and cause more chaos and pain. Which is exactly what DSA and their cohorts want.
DSA is incredibly well-organized and well-funded. And these smooth-talking, slick devils have their game down pat.
Chris Maisano: What have you thought of the protests so far?
Frances Fox Piven: I think they’ve been pretty terrific. And I really am hopeful that it’s the beginning of a new period of social protest in this country. I think a lot about the protest is absolutely on target, it’s so smart. It was so smart to pick Wall Street because Wall Street looms so large not only in the reality of inequality and recession policy, but it looms so large in the minds of people now because everybody knows that they’re stealing the country blind. So they picked the right place, they had somehow — I don’t know how self-consciously, maybe self-consciously — absorbed a kind of lesson from Tahrir Square of staying there, because usually we have demonstrations and marches and parades and things, and they’re over in a nanosecond. And all that the authorities have to do is wait, because they’re gonna be over.
So what they tried to do is take this classical form of the mass rally — they didn’t do it alone, obviously it happened in Egypt too — and connected it with the disruptive potential of mass action because they said “we’re staying.” And “we’re staying” is more troublesome. Not only that, “we’re staying” makes it possible for them to organize and mobilize throughout the course of the action, which is what they do. So that part of it was pretty, pretty smart.
They are smart in being very inclusive. I mean, they’re very happy to include everybody, and they’ve actively reached out to the unions. When has a youthful protest done that in living memory? A very long time since that’s happened. But they knew from the beginning — probably they were helped to learn that from Wisconsin. And they’re so happily counter-cultural, you can’t even get angry at them if you’re a stiff old person! Then you read their statements, I’m sure you do. Well, I do too. And I think they’re very thoughtful for statements issued by a general assembly sitting on the cold cement – they’re very good statements, and they really are statements that include the 99%. So it’s great.
Smart indeed, as the whole idea was cooked up by Marxists like Piven who poured lots of money into coming up with phrasing such as the 99% vs. the 1%. That didn’t just appear out of no where. If was lovingly crafted and staged as all the protests are. It’s an old revolutionary tactic to make things look like they have no organization when they are just the opposite. It’s been used time and again throughout history and now it is being used against America. And none of these dingbats seem to be able to figure out that they are being used. That they are fodder for Marxists who don’t give a damn about them and will cheerfully eliminate them once they have served their purpose. Oh, a purging they will come…
There is no way the Marxists will let this opportunity to ‘remake’ America slide. They hate our form of government, they hate our Constitution and they hate capitalism. Winter may slow them down a bit, but this is Obama’s army of radicals. They won’t stop until they are forced to. DSA is just one face of the an evil hydra leading us into another civil war. Get ready because something wicked indeed this way comes by next spring and summer. Occupy Wall Street and the Marxists behind the curtain have taken the movement national – coming soon to your city or town.
And right on the heels of OWS, look for Van Jones who will be singing a siren’s song that many will fall for. He will try and falsely appear as another Reagan, when in reality what he brings is Communism and revolution. Don’t fall for his words or his promises – among all of them, Van Jones is perhaps the most dangerous of the lot. Whatever you do, stay as far away from Van Jones and these movements as you can get. They will not end well.
The Occupy Wall Street anarchy continues. It has managed to draw some radicals and many clueless to downtown New York. The group can only be described now as a mob and a mob is a dangerous thing.
A mob, when formed and whipped into a frenzy, gets locked into a primitive groupthink. The rule of law and the rules of civilization go out the door. So far the violations of the Rule of Law have been fairly minor, such as trying to cross a bridge not meant for pedestrian traffic and trying to crash their way into the National Air and Space Museum.
The problem with mobs is, they grow and their lawlessness grows as well. How long will it be before we see full scale rioting, looting (after all the left always believes it getting something someone else has paid for) and even injury or death?
The mobs have put out their list of demands. They vary from place to place but they are some of the wildest dreams of left wing lunatics. They want a minimum wage of $20 an hour. Hey, if they think unemployment is bad now, just wait until that is implemented. They want free college and a “living wage,” whether you are working or not. They want an end to free trade and at the same time “open borders.” Perhaps someone should point out the contradiction there.
None of their lunatic demands are going to be met. Some of their demands are so incoherent it is tough to figure out exactly what they are demanding.
No matter what it is they are demanding or not demanding, it is not going to be agreed to.
Then what happens?
Civil unrest.
The groups behind Occupy Wall Street, including the SEIU and others want not only unrest but violent unrest. They want to have police in the streets and they want to create problems.
These far left groups have an agenda. They want to bring down the United States as we know it and replace it with a socialist style regime.
Socialism gives us nothing but misery and tyranny.
These mobs should be very alarming to everyone with the ability to think. Mobs and ultimately mob rule is always a disaster. Look at the terror of the French revolution or the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. Look at the so-called Arab Spring. They may have overthrown dictators but is what replaced the dictators been any better?
Former White House Czar and Marxist Van Jones has called for an “American Autumn.” What he wants to see is these mobs force the American government to surrender and be replaced by his idea of what a government should be. Based on history, his idea of what government should be will involve the death of liberty and a lot of other people as well.
Herman Cain had a lot of wisdom for the anarchists of Occupy Wall Street. He told them that if they were poor, they had only themselves to blame. He is right about that. In America, you have only yourself to blame.
Unfortunately, if these people have their way and make the changes they want to make in America, we will all be poor.

Progressive TV and radio star Thom Hartmann took time off from covering Van Jones and his “Rebuild the Dream” movement on Wednesday to briefly talk to this columnist about his relationship with the Vladimir Putin regime of Russia. The conversation quickly went sour when Hartmann objected to questions about how much he is being paid by Moscow. He grabbed my video camera, covering the lens briefly in the process, and stomped away, objecting to “gotcha” questions.
During another embarrassing incident, Van Jones refused to sign a copy of his Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement (STORM) manifesto when asked to autograph it. “No thank you,” he sternly said before asking, “Who are you?,” looking at my name badge, and walking away to the next adoring crowd of Van Jones groupies. Jones, a “former” communist, is the new face of the progressive movement that is backing the “Occupation Wall Street” protests and is trying to guarantee President Obama a second term. He was fired as Obama’s “green jobs czar” when the truth about his extremist background and statements started to emerge in reports originally by blogger Trevor Loudon and then Glenn Beck on Fox News.
While Jones made remarks in his own conference speech about losing his White House job, he also mocked Beck, noting that he had lost his program on the Fox News Channel. Progressives demanded Beck’s ouster after he began exposing billionaire hedge fund operator George Soros, a major funder of the liberal-left.
Soros, who operates an off-shore hedge fund with mysterious sources of cash, has just failed in his effort to have the European Court of Human Rights lift his conviction in an insider trading case in France.
The STORM document is about the history of a communist group that Jones led and whose members traveled to Cuba. He has, however, tried to leave his communist past behind as he reinvents himself as an American patriot trying to “rebuild the American dream.” At almost every stage of his career, he has been supported by money from Soros.
During an extended interview, Joelle Fishman of the Communist Party USA talked about Jones’s leadership in this new phase of the progressive movement and how the conference welcomed socialists and communists. She said the Communist Party, which usually fields a presidential candidate, will not run anyone against Obama in 2012. Communist literature was openly displayed at the conference and the Democratic Socialists of America, a group which backed Obama’s political career from the start, had an information table.
Judith LeBlanc, who runs a group called Peace Action and is one of the vice-chairs of the Communist Party, was introduced on stage as one of Van Jones’s “partners” in the “rebuild the American dream” movement.
Hartmann, a leader of Progressive Democrats of America, has a show distributed nationwide by Russia Today (RT) television and Free Speech TV. He apparently didn’t grasp the irony of trying to silence a recording device while touting the virtues of the First Amendment.
Hartmann spoke to me after participating in a “Taking Back the Media” panel discussion during the Take Back the American Dream Conference sponsored by the Campaign for America’s Future. Hartmann was hailed in an official press release as a key part of Free Speech TV’s exclusive live coverage of the conference, which was held in Washington, D.C. October 3-5. An affiliate of the Campaign for America’s Future, the Institute for America’s Future, is heavily subsidized by Soros.
The head of Free Speech TV is Don Rojas, former press secretary to communist Maurice Bishop, the leader of the Caribbean island of Grenada before President Reagan ordered its liberation by American troops in 1983.
Rojas, in a taped interview, spoke fondly of the days when he worked for Grenada’s revolutionary government, even signing a copy of an address Bishop had made to the sixth summit of the non-aligned movement in Havana, Cuba, in 1979. Rojas said he helped to write the speech and was in Havana at the time. He signed it, “Forward Ever, Backward Never,” an inspirational quotation from Bishop which was supposed to capture the essence of the revolutionary process.
Rojas was captured, arrested, and then deported from Grenada by U.S. forces. Today, however, his channel is called the “anti-Fox” network and claims carriage on 200 cable affiliates, Dish Network and DirecTV, reaching 35 million homes. Free Speech TV has been promoting the “Occupation of Wall Street” protests and also distributes Al-Jazeera. Rojas says he has applied for cash from the Soros-funded Open Society Institute (OSI). “We are knocking on the OSI’s door as we speak,” he said.
In the speech, Bishop had talked about the “revolutionary process” which “has seen the emergence of successful and progressive revolutions in countries like Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Laos, and Kampuchea and, most recently Nicaragua and Iran, has had a vital impact on the balance of forces in today’s world.”
Kampuchea, the communist word for the country of Cambodia, saw a takeover by the communist Khmer Rouge, after America’s defeat in Vietnam, that took the lives of about two million people in a bloody genocide. Iran was taken over by radical Islamists, who remain in charge and are working to obtain nuclear weapons in order to destroy the state of Israel and threaten the U.S.
“Long live the Cuban revolution!” was one of the concluding phrases in the Bishop speech.
While Rojas talked openly about his service to Bishop and Castro, AFL-CIO official Karen Nussbaum was close-mouthed in regard to her trip to Cuba in 1970 as a member of the Venceremos Brigades to the communist-controlled island. “No,” she curtly replied, when asked to talk about a trip that reportedly included a meeting with Castro himself. Asked why she wouldn’t talk about it, she said it was “not relevant.” Nussbaum was on a panel discussing feminism that was organized by the Rockefeller Fund.
This was the second time I had tried to talk to Nussbaum. She appeared at a previous Campaign for America’s Future conference and turned and walked away when I raised similar questions. This time she had a press representative intervene to say that he would try to get answers to my questions. I am not holding my breath.
A published report about Nussbaum’s trip to Cuba said she “was impressed with Castro and with Cuban socialism.” In an oral history of her days as a young radical, Nussbaum talked about the large number of Weathermen in the brigades to Cuba. The Weathermen became a terrorist group, the Weather Underground, after being brainwashed and trained in guerrilla warfare in Cuba by Castro’s intelligence operatives.
Nussbaum heads the AFL-CIO’s three-million-strong Working America affiliate. Her boss, AFL-CIO chief Richard Trumka, was a featured speaker at the Take Back the American Dream Conference and referred to the protests on Wall Street, saying that“It’s our time” and calling Van Jones “my friend.”

Stated by a Muslim Liberal Democrat Marxist who worked and campaigned for Barack Obama:
“I want you to focus and I hope you can talk to your families and your friends and your neighbors that when someone says that there is a penetration of Jihadi Islamists within Canadian society, do not dismiss it as some right-wing xenophobic racist rant.
Today in the White House there are three members of the Muslim Brotherhood that influence Obama’s policy.
Rashad Hussain
· One is Rashad Hussain of Indian origin who is the American Ambassador to the 52 nation organization of Islamic countries.
· Dialia Mogahed who writes his speech who comes from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
· Just day before yesterday, another woman, an academic, was appointed in that circle.
This is happening while we sit silent and I say that as a Liberal Democrat, as someone who worked and campaigned for Barack Obama.
We have evidence in Canada of this penetration that’s going on.”
Tarek Fatah, a moderate Muslim advocate and Liberal Democrat Marxist, told an auditorium filled with thousands of Canadians at Ideacity that “the religion of Islam is being used as a tool by a fascist force.”
Americans need to know, as Tarek clearly states…
“Instead of bringing victory over the fascist forces of the Muslim Brotherhood, we now recognize that their infiltration is right up to the American White House, but we can’t say that.”
“Today we are fighting another idea of Islamo-fascism that has shut our mouths and we can’t speak because we’re too scared that someone may turn around and call us a racist. And mind you, everyday as I speak, a few dozen Muslims would have been killed by now by these Jihadi’s.”
He says that he has seen his own “fellow travelers betray the cause of Social Justice and align themselves with the most horrendous fascists that you could ever meet.” The far-left has joined with radical Islamists and they are working together. Recall that Glenn Beck warned of this in January 2011 and now, from inside the Liberal Democratic movement, Tarek sees it with his own eyes and speaks out about it.
America’s government-controlled media fail to report the truth, which is why many Americans research, self-educate and become citizen journalists in order to bring you the truth. On this subject, we have previously explained that Islamism is not a religion; it is a complete system comprised of totalitarian rule over day-to-day life – political, financial, legal, social, cultural and religious – and its mission is Jihad. Tarek explains this too.
“Please understand that there is a distinction between Islam as a faith which, along with every other religion, has its own problems, and “Islamism,” which is an ideology, a political ideology, that says that Western Civilization has to be destroyed.”
“The books that are distributed at Eaton Centre and the Dundas Square clearly state by the founders of the Muslim Brotherhood that all Western countries have to be destroyed.”
Obama’s embrace of those who hate America and actively pursue the destruction of our country from within and externally has been on display for quite awhile and it’s time we see, speak and hear the truth.
Obama brought the Muslim Brotherhood into our White House; no one but Obama did this. He brought George Soros into our White House, an anti-Semite who aided the Nazi’s and a financial terrorist who is making billions off the economic misery Obama has purposely caused in our country. Many Americans fail to understand this while the media hides the truth. From corrupt dictators (e.g. inviting President Ali Bongo of Gabon to the White House) to domestic terrorists (e.g. Bill Ayers) to self-proclaimed Communist/Marxist (e.g. Van Jones), these, and many more like them, are the people Obama brings into our White House… these are his friends and associates.
Do you know people like this? Do you work with people like this? Would you appoint three Muslim Brotherhood members to the White House if you were President?
The Muslim Brotherhood creed:
“Allah is our objective, the prophet is our leader, the Koran is our law, Jihad is our way, dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
“Jihad is our way” explicitly endorses the reinstatement of a worldwide Islamic regime.
As Tarek says, talk to your families, friends and neighbors; show them the warning from this Liberal Democrat Marxist (video below).
“Why is it happening? Because we are not speaking out. And the dangers we face… if we do not confront them today, our children will not forgive us tomorrow.”
Great article by buddy AJ at the NoisyRoom Please read! M~
Long Island City Housing Projects
The picture above represents the kind of structure we’ll soon be herded into – you, me, our families – everyone in America. Well… everyone except the powerful politicians and elites who are working to corral us into these government housing tenements. The streets will be replaced with trains and the cars will be gone.
Unbelievable you say? You think it’ll never happen? The planning is going on right now in your community and in every region throughout the United States. This is Agenda 21. This is what they mean by Sustainable Development, Smart Growth, ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives), etc. It’s already embedded into the general plan of every community. The transformation will be complete within 25 years and it’s funded with our tax dollars and funds from George Soros and Van Jones’ radical left organizations like OSI, the Tides Foundation, Apollo Alliance and Green For All.
This video contains a graphic simulation which reaffirms that Agenda 21 will change the way we live:
Notice during the Masdar presentation, the narrator uses statements like “a compact, high density city” (i.e. people packed tightly together), “the unique design of its walled city” and “one day, all cities will be built like this.” Don’t be fooled by the slick computer graphics; we know the government won’t be building slick futuristic cities for us. But they will be packing us in tightly and cutting off our ability to travel beyond the confines of our new tenements. They’re telling us exactly what they have planned for us.
The United Nation’s (UN) Agenda 21publication is meant to be complex so that it will be difficult to wrap our brains around its contents to envision how it will affect us. They want it to be hard for us to communicate it to others so that we can’t work together to stop it. Many people unfortunately focus on the “global warming” and environmental aspects of the plan to the point of creating a mental barrier that prevents them from truly understanding where Agenda 21 is taking us in our everyday lives.
Many people don’t realize that 77 – 84% of us live on just 3% of America’s land area. Only 16% of us live in rural areas. 95% of America’s land is rural and there are vast areas that are underdeveloped.
Agenda 21 is supported by past and current Presidents and the long-time “establishment” politicians in Washington D.C.; it’s being implemented by our state and local governments and city councils, some of whom are blindly following orders without knowing where all this is really leading. When Progressives hear us talking about Agenda 21, they ridicule us in an attempt to get us to shut up and sit down. The evidence is available and the UN promotes it openly, but Progressives won’t talk about that part.
You might be thinking Agenda 21 is too complex and there’s no way it’ll be fully implemented. Not so. It’s already being implemented and my goal is to provide information which shows some of the ways they’re getting us there. To describe how this works, it is presented below in the form of seven questions and answers.
First question: How will they get us to buy into such a radical transformation of our way of life? How will they get us into these government housing tenements?
Answer: Social Justice. They’re already infiltrating our churches and indoctrinating our youth so that their agenda will have momentum with easily influenced and impressionable kids and adults. We’re well aware that Progressives have been pushing the Social Justice mantra and making it sound altruistic, but what does Social Justice really mean and what does it look like? They won’t tell us, but Al Sharpton told his congregation. Listen closely and really think about what he’s saying. “The dream was to make everything equal in everybody’s house.”
So you see… herding us into government tenements equalizes everyone’s “social class” by making everything equal in everybody’s house. Social Justice is achieved when your home is just like mine and everyone else’s. It doesn’t mean we’ll all have a nice home; it means we’ll all be stacked and packed into homes that are the same – “equal.” Van Jones describes the social equalization of Social Justice too.
Another mantra is Global Citizen. Sounds cool, doesn’t it? The sheeple who are buying into this will have a rude awakening when global governance is instituted and they experience what it’s like living in third world conditions, losing all freedom and becoming enslaved under an international totalitarian regime.
For the past 2 years we’ve heard Progressive politicians tell us that a home, a job, food and healthcare are “rights.” If they can establish those things as “rights” granted by the government, they will have the power to tell us what home, what job, what and how much food and what healthcare we’re entitled to receive. History shows that totalitarian regimes already did this and it led to the murder and starvation of 135 million innocents, but public schools won’t teach this to our children. Nor will they teach them that our U.S. Constitution gives us inalienable rights granted by our Creator so that no man, no government, can ever take them away from us. That’s why Progressives have to change our Constitution.
Second question: What about our right to own property? They cannot take private property from its rightful owner, can they?
Answer: Yes, they can and they are. Laws and Executive Orders have been enacted and many people are already losing their property through eminent domain, greenlining and oppressive environmental regulations which make it cost prohibitive for them to comply or legally fight it in the courts. The relative few who are able to fight and win are throwing a monkey wrench into Agenda 21, but until Progressives can eliminate our property rights altogether, they’ll keep tightening the noose.
Again, we’ve noticed all the recent talk about our Constitution being outdated and in need of a re-write. Notice that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, owned by our Federal Government, are accumulating nearly all home mortgages and foreclosures in America. Our government has over 3,000 public housing agencies in the U.S. and Fannie and Freddie already instituted a ‘Deed to Lease’ program whereby homeowners turn their deed over to the government and rent their property from the government. Slowly but surely, they’re already taking possession of private property. And under Obama, they’ve been buying up land at break-neck speed.
Obama just enacted EO 13575, bringing the full weight and power of the entire Federal Government to bear as they begin to tighten the squeeze on 16% of our population who live in rural America. Why? They need to vacate those people so that they can take over all rural areas in America.
Third question: If a person doesn’t have a mortgage because they paid off their house/land, won’t they be safe?
Answer: The goal of our government is to make it cost prohibitive for you to hold onto your land. Whether they fight you through eminent domain, skyrocketing property taxes or regulations that are too costly for you to comply with, they will do whatever is necessary to exhaust your financial resources so that you’re left with no choice but to eventually walk away from your property.
Another tactic at their disposal is a “man-caused disaster.” That’s right. They could flood your land in order to displace you and then swoop in and offer you pennies on the dollar to take it off your hands. Hey, wait a minute… they’re already doing that. Yes, George Soros is already buying up the farm land that the government flooded when they exploded the dams in our heartland. Slowly but surely and through whatever means necessary, they will continue to make progress in acquiring the vast majority of all land in America – of which they already own at least 40%.
Fourth question: You mention food, healthcare and a job for everyone; isn’t that a good thing?
Answer: In short, food and healthcare will be rationed; you’ll receive only what they allow you to have. Your job will be what they tell you your job is.
For example, have you wondered why Michelle Obama has made it her mission to change the way we think about food despite the fact that so many of our daughter’s suffer from eating disorders because they won’t eat? She’s preparing us for food rationing by nudging us away from the foods we may enjoy most, while at the same time using the full weight (pardon the pun) of the White House to strong-arm those who sell food into limiting our choices. Mayor Bloomberg’s ban on salt fits nicely into their plan to recondition us. And wasn’t it Michelle Obama who said, “We are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversations; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history.” Separately, these things don’t seem like much, but when you know the agenda that’s at work, you’re able to see how these things fit into the overall plan.
Healthcare rationing has been taken care of with Obamacare and the 15-member panel of bureaucrats who will decide what care we will and won’t receive. And it’s no accident that Obamacare also cuts half a trillion from Medicare, enabling the start of rationing for our elderly in 2014.
Jobs will be assigned by the government and many of us will work to provide the food, healthcare and maintenance of the tenements that’s needed to sustain ourselves and those in our city. I’m sure we won’t be doing these jobs to earn a paycheck. We’ll do them in exchange for the food, home and healthcare they permit us to have. If we object, they’ll withhold those things from us and our family until we no longer object.
Fifth question: That’s slavery. How can they possibly keep us under control and prevent us from protesting?
Answer: Why would our President need a national civilian security force? To keep us under control. If this seems unbelievable, ask yourself: “Why did Obama say this?” He said it, not us.
Sixth question: If they get us into these tenement cities and keep us there, what will they be doing?
Answer: Here’s my guess… all my research and the use of good common sense tells me that they’ll be harvesting the bounty of natural resources that exist in abundance right here in America. Oil, natural gas, water, you name it. Using workers from other countries, they’ll be extracting our natural resources and selling them to the highest bidder on the international market. They’re already establishing Foreign Trade Zones, selling off our land to China and Russia, and granting citizenship through the EB-5 visa program so their laborers can work in our country.
Meanwhile, we’re aware that Obama’s working to collapse our economy, de-industrialize our country, and weaken our military and civilian defenses. Those are certainly essential components to achieving the goals and objectives of Agenda 21. Bring Americans to their knees and they’ll cry out to government for help. We already know the framework they’re putting in place, so they’ll usher the rest of us right into it.
There are other important aspects like monitoring our communication, rationing our energy usage, education, and population control that I haven’t yet touched on, but my goal in this article is to enable you to envision what their plan is and how they’re getting us there through things they’re already doing. Please do your own research; you’ll see that these things are truly happening and, as Progressives do, they make it available for us to see if we choose to look. Agenda 21 isn’t a theory and it’s not a conspiracy; it’s out in the open and being put in place. Item 2 below even shows you the kind of dog and pony show they put on in communities to get your buy in… so they can say the people in the community agreed.
Seventh question: What can we do to stop this?
Answer: Learn as much as you can, get involved locally and tell your neighbors.
1. Go to this website to learn more; some communities have been successful in stopping it locally. Many, many more are needed: http://www.freedomadvocates.org/
