MR. PRESIDENT: PUT THE STARS BACK IN OUR FLAG © 2009-2010
7-02-10–Breaking News©
Really Breaking News:
Watch and hear Obama admit that he was not born in Hawaii.
I am sending this to you with some trepidation. I have a little concern with the cutoff of Obama’s admission. However, he appears to clearly state that he was not born in the U.S. but in Kenya.
Given the huge effort and expense that Obama has gone through to hide every aspect of his past, I have to give this some credibility. Normal people don’t do that. I think you will find this very interesting and a major reason that Obama is trying to get control of the internet.

Thanx Bill
Today’s attachment is a little article on Friedrich von Hayek, the world’s most unpopular economist.
I noted in a recent newsletter about my lack of “larnin’ when it came to economics and having to rely on common sense. Well, a reader sent me this yesterday and I finally have an economist that agrees with me. So we are probably equally unpopular. I think you will find it both entertaining and informative. Thanx Bruce
I sent out that video yesterday of that snotty performance by Pete Stark regarding securing the border. Well, apparently, Atlanta, GA is getting concerned because terrorists coming over the Arizona border are showing up in Atlanta. They sent a news team to AZ to investigate. Here is one
of the Videos… http://www.wsbtv.com/video/23438712/index.html (Copy and paste to your browser. It pretty much bears out what I have been saying for the past two years…
Thanx Rob
Quote(s) of the Day:
“Surely, if we have learned anything from 9/11, it is that borders are important.”
J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Candidate for Senate
Pete Stark, (D-CA) doesn’t think so!
“Never did a government commence under auspices so favorable, nor ever was success so complete. If we look to the history of other nations, ancient or modern, we find no example of a growth so rapid, so gigantic, of a people so prosperous and happy.” –James Monroe (1758-1831) American president
Well, we sure managed to screw that up…
Observation of the Day:
What is so great about socialism? Ever wonder about that? Why do these people keep trying to take care of us with socialism? Are they really that nice?
Socialism is a populist program for taking over countries. The one thing that Socialists need is a dumbed down, uneducated population to get it done. They also need unions, which usually enjoy a golden existence with the people in power, in return for financial support as well as physical support if needed.
No socialist country has been successful to date. The U.S.S.R.? That country imploded after keeping their people in abject misery for 70 years.
East Germany? They had to build a wall and keep it covered with machine guns to keep their people from escaping to West Germany or other countries. Many people were so desperate to get out that they risked being shot and in fact were killed trying to get out of the country.
Ancient history? Nope. The wall didn’t come down until 1989.
Venezuela? Hugo Chavez has turned into a bad cartoon character in the process of ruining Venezuela. He has taken over or jailed executives of all media outlets that were critical of him; he has nationalized the oil business, their biggest industry; he has nationalized the power companies, leading to massive blackout over the past 6 months; he has taken over the food industry and prices are skyrocketing and 80,000 tons of rotting food were recently found in a government warehouse, while food shortages abound. This travesty is happening now.
China? Now there is the great example. Thirty or forty years ago, China was so far behind and becoming so stagnant that in desperation, the Party brought in instructors to teach company owners capitalism so that they could compete on the world stage. The Chinese did not call it capitalism but that is in fact what one instructor recently reported.
However, while China didn’t medal with their industry as much as Obama and his Democratic Socialists want to, they did control who became a success. Today, of the 300 Chinese that have a net worth of $20 Million +, all but a handful are upper echelon party members.
How about the European socialism that the liberals are so fond of holding up to us as a great example. Britain? Between their health care program which is turning into an unmitigated disaster, and their other socialist policies, they are on the edge of bankruptcy, just as we are.
Sweden? I don’t know if the socialist held onto power in their recent election or not. People were so fed up with socialism that the socialists didn’t think that they would be able to hang on to power.
France? Their health care is in bankruptcy and the country is tanking. Sarkozy is trying to save things but public unions are striking against raising the retirement age from 60 to 62.
Greece? Greece went European socialist about 15 years ago and are now literally bankrupt. Again, the public unions are blocking reforms.
California? The most socialistic state this side of Massachusetts is in deep doo doo, financially with a budget short fall this year of something like $21 Billion. One town has fired all of their employees and are outsourcing all of their police, fire and other activities to surrounding towns. Of course, the problem with that is that local citizens no longer have a say in the quality of their police protection, fire response and other services that the city delivers.
Other towns are considering bankruptcy. The City of San Jose just laid off 70 janitors who were making $41 per hour. Not bad for pushing a vacuum or mopping a floor or dumping a wastebasket. They were replaced by a janitorial contract with a private company at $19 per hour.
No one has been able to demonstrate one socialist country that was even a fair success; and certainly nothing even approaching the greatness that the United States once achieved!
So tell me again, what is so great about socialism?
Observation of the Day II:
Having watched the video clip of Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) that was included in the last newsletter, it sheds light on the nasty, vacuous mental state of the elected politicians from California and I now understand why those politicians are boycotting Arizona. Knowing who they really are gives me comfort. If they had any mental credentials, I would be a lot more upset with their boycott.
Observation of the Day III:
I watched the president’s speech on immigration reform on Thursday. Never have I seen a better speech designed to mislead through half truths and bogus information so masterfully delivered. He makes B.S. sound so good that he probably should be granted an Oscar for Best B.S.
He will not be denied his permanent sub-culture which will insure a permanent democrat majority that will respond to government handouts and vote to keep them coming.
A couple of things to keep in mind here. First, he said that there are 11,000,000 illegals in the country now. If memory serves me, three or four years ago, the number being bandied about was 20,000,000. If that is correct, the administration is participating in a fraud again.
Secondly, the illegals are, for the most part, uneducated; the exact formula for the dems to maintain their majority. Being undereducated, whether they are legal or illegal, families will still use about 4 times the government services that they pay for through taxes.
This is exactly why every first world and most second world countries won’t let you in unless you have money or a needed skill; especially if they have extensive social programs, such as we do.
Check it out folks. Try countries that you would like to live in and see what their requirements are. Canada and Russia probably don’t count because the weather up there is so miserable most of the year and in most areas that given a choice, no right thinking person would move there. ( With all due apologies to my Canadian friends…note that I said “most” of the time and “most” areas)
So if the illegals are made legal, count on huge taxes to support them.
Also, I believe that Latinos have an average of 4 children each in a traditional family. Assuming that 40% of the 11,000,000 illegals (Obama’s figures) are husband and wife, which would give us 2,200,000 nuclear families. Now if we invoke the law of progression… Those nuclear families would produce and average of 8,800,000 children. If 50% of them were of each sex, then on the second round they would
produce 17,600,000 kids. Using the same ratios, the third round would produce 140,800,000 offspring. The fourth round would produce 281,600,000 kids. That is real close to the current population of this country.
Do you now see why the Latino agitators are telling us that they will take over this country?
And this does not take into consideration legal Latinos, the other 7,000,000 illegals that we arbitrarily said were single males and the offspring that they may produce among legal Latinos.
Of course, the only way that undereducated Latinos will be able to afford 4 kids will be through healthy subsidies from tax payer funded government programs.
Folks; Because I have so many Latino friends, I have been luke warm on amnesty until just now when I took the time to run these numbers and the results scared the hell out of me.
However, in light of my figures, this is not a race program, it is one of principal (nation of laws) and one of the survival of this country as we know it.
And if you don’t think that all the brou-ha-ha over Arizona’s immigration bill is politically motivated, think about this: The law hasn’t even gone into effect yet and won’t until the end of July. The bill prohibits racial profiling so we won’t know for some time whether there is a problem or not!
OBSERVATIONS:
The Supreme Court has scored one for the Constitution and all Americans…well, at least 88% of the people in America who are non-leftists by upholding the second amendment about striking down anti-gun laws in all states.
You can bet your sweet Bippy that the leftists are already formulating ways to disregard that decision by putting very high financial requirements on owning a gun, requiring a lot of education and other things that would put the ownership of guns out of the realm of possibility for everyday Americans.
In the “Fix is in Department”, Chase Bank has just hired 1200 mortgage brokers, nationwide, to handle their loan programs. It is likely that other big banks will follow their lead…
It is interesting to note that the big banks, in light of Obama’s financial regulation’s restriction on income to mortgage broker based on the yield split premium, are now moving in this direction. Why? Because the big banks are in a better position to hide broker compensation through paying on the SRP (Service Release Premium) which is not now, nor will be regulated and since it is not a point of sale item, it will not appear on the buyer’s HUD 1 settlement statement.
The banks are gearing up to take advantage of the new Obama bill’s provisions. In case you didn’t realize this, socialist governments prefer regulating a few large companies over many small companies. It allows more time on the golf course for the regulators.
So the buyer will still be bagged; he just won’t know about it…
In another related, but unrelated development, Freddie Mac just revealed that they have contracted with a single home warranty company to provide a 2 year home warranty for up to 2 million of their foreclosed homes. Why should you care?
How about the fact that Freddie Mac has contracted to pay $1,100.00 for each home warranty, a nearly 40% premium over what the industry normally charges for
a similar home warranty. That would mean that Freddie Mac (and taxpayers indirectly) would pay about $800,000,000.00 over the prevailing rate for a similar home warranty.
It is also reported that the warranty does not cover septic tanks and water wells which would require an extra premium to be covered.
They sure play fast a loose with your money, don’t they.
And in the “Fix may not be in, after all Department”, a D.O.J. attorney has blown the whistle on the decision of the D.O.J. not to prosecute Black Panthers for voter intimidation in the 2008 election.
I reported on this early last year and observed that the “fix was in” when it was decided that the D.O.J. wouldn’t pursue this case because of a “lack of evidence”.
The D.O.J. attorney that was handling the case said the decision not to pursue the case was based on politics and race. He said that as far as not having the evidence, he said that he had video and eye witnesses to the incident. It doesn’t get any easier to make a case then that, he observed.
Yep. Good ol’ Crime Incorporated is already demonizing the attorney. By the way, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights is opening an investigation into the D.O.J.’s dropping of this case. I wonder how far that will get?
And in another “The Fix is In” development, George Soros, the ultra left wing multi-billionaire currency trader and staunch Obama supporter, has lectured Angela Merkel, Prime Minister of Germany, that Germany needs to spend more, rather than tighten its belt, to come out of the recession.
This, from the guy that single handedly brought down the British Pound in a currency manipulation deal a number of years ago. He is chiding Germany that they need to follow Obama’s lead in runaway spending. Merkel ain’t buying it.
Most experts say his advice will lead to a financial meltdown…
Do you suppose he is feeling the need to get even again after losing $2 Billion in a Russian currency deal that went awry in 1998?
I speculated a year and a half ago about a connection between Soros and Obama. Do you suppose that Obama is getting a commission from Soros for leading this country into a financial meltdown in which Soros will make billions in currency speculation?
The open border advocates from the border states are meeting in San Diego, ostensibly to re-examine their options because, as they put it, Obama is tougher on border security than “W” was.
That is total Horse Hockey!!! They are providing cover for Obama as he gives lip service to border security while doing nothing! These guys are just plain slimy! It should be noted that this piece of crap was obediently printed in the government controlled Washington Post, who are aiding and abetting this travesty.
The congressional budget office has just announced that the public debt will be 62% of the GDP by the end of the fiscal year. It will be 100% within the next few years.
What does this mean? It means that in order to pay just the interest on the national debt, we will have to cut defense spending and all other social programs. That means cuts to social security, Medicare, Medicaid (to which we are adding 15,000,000 new users, courtesy of Obama) national defense, welfare, highway maintenance, the staffs of the FDA, FBI, and other government entities and these cuts will be echoed at the state and local levels.
It is now estimated that the problem will be so serious that we won’t be able to tax ourselves out of this mess. That means total default. Simply put, we could have anarchy.
This will be a disaster, the magnitude of which the people of this country have never dreamed of, let alone experienced.
Did you know that about 30,000,000 gallons of oil products wash into the ocean from this country every year. Worldwide, the estimate is about 4 Billion gallons per decade.
What is even more interesting is natural seepage of oil from under the ocean floor. The best current estimate is that about 50,000,000 gallons of oil annually seeps out naturally from the oceans floor around North America, primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and off the coast of California.
My question is; ‘Shouldn’t we be drilling more in these areas to cut down on the natural pollution?’
Speaking of oil, I received a report the other day from what I consider a credible source stating that when the BP oil spill happened, Denmark, which has state of the art oil skimming equipment, of which, some were in the area, offered Obama the immediate use of that equipment and Obama turned them down.
Why did he turn them down? To allow the spill to get bad enough that he could put a ban on off-shore drilling. In other words, Obama is sacrificing the environment and about 40,000 jobs for political expediency. If you remember, his environmental gunsel fraudulently altered a report from experts to justify the shut- down of off shore drilling!
You do understand the Obama is killing jobs on purpose, don’t you? The off-shore drilling ban, which has been struck down twice by federal courts is still in place and no one is drilling. When those rigs move out of the gulf, they will be gone for at least 6 years. So Obama is purposefully killing 20,000 direct jobs and an additional at least 20,000 indirect jobs (although I heard Governor Jindal of Louisiana say that it would affect 80,000 jobs). For all of the people concerned, 6 years is tantamount to a permanent job loss.
Folks, these people are criminals. He is routinely sacrificing the well being of Americans to bring this country down. By the time he is finished, the Constitution will have been burned and we will be operating under Sharia law!
We will be broke, hungry and homeless! Good luck with sitting on your fanny, then!
And something else that is in store for you. If you are an atheist, you won’t care so you can skip this paragraph.
A European Court of Human Rights in Brussels, 8 months ago, banned crucifixes in Italian Schools because they said the crucifixes violate religious and education freedom. Now, nine European countries have appealed that finding in an effort to overturn it.
Sound familiar?
And the ACLU has issued a travel warning for Arizona for the 4th of July weekend.
I guess it is better that Obama stay out of Arizona, lest he have to show citizenship documents.
You know why all of these people, including the yellow rat dems and Obama are so upset with the immigration bill, don’t you?
The sad fact is that they all consider the illegals so dumb that they will be easy to manipulate. While they may be uneducated, I think better of them. However, they will be no match for the politicians here.
In Latin America, when someone doesn’t wish you well, they tell you to your face and may even try to kill you. In America, the politicians put their arm around you, tell you how much they like you and then slowly poison you.
A huge tent city has sprung up in Hawaii to house the homeless and a town in New Jersey is suing homeless squatters that are camping in a near-by woods.
And you don’t think this country is in trouble?
Surprise! Jobless claims are continuing to rise in this “summer of recovery”.
Can you say “double dip” recession? I tell you, this guy is killing us!

Dollar Plunges After UN Call To Ditch Greenback:
Prison Planet.com: The dollar plunged today following a United Nations report which called for the greenback to be replaced as the global reserve currency by the International Monetary Fund’s special drawing rights (SDRs).
The dollar’s trend of moving inversely to the stock market has seemingly been snapped, with the Dow Jones falling over 100 points at one stage today. However, as soon as markets began to claw back losses, the greenback failed to follow suit, indicating that whichever way markets move, the dollar is in big trouble.
The UN report called for “abandoning the U.S. dollar as the main global reserve currency, saying it has been unable to safeguard value,” according to Reuters.
“A new global reserve system could be created, one that no longer relies on the United States dollar as the single major reserve currency,” stated the report, adding that this new system should not be based on a basket of currencies, but on IMF-controlled SDR’s.
WE are sitting on our couch watching our country be dismantled piece by piece.
What the hell can be the matter with us that we just sit here?
PROOF! Private insurance targeted for annihilation
Socialist group tied to president’s plans to use Obamacare to create state system
WORLD NET DAILY: A socialist organization with close ties to Barack Obama has outlined a plan to turn the president’s health-care legislation into a government-run system that will ultimately eliminate private insurance companies.
Obama’s health-care bill “should create millions of new stakeholders in a health-care system governed by democratically established rules rather than by the fiats of private insurers,” wrote Frank Llewellyn, national director of Democratic Socialists of America.
Writing in the latest issue of the socialist Democratic Left magazine, Llewellyn said “progressives” must use Obama’s health-care legislation “to build support for the elimination of private insurers.”
Llewellyn called for a public information campaign regarding “Obamacare” and socialized medicine.
“DSAers (Democratic Socialists of America members) in every state and city,” he said, “should be prepared to rebut distortions with letters to the editor and op-eds that talk about what socialism really is – and what true social democratic public provision would look like, particularly when health care is the paradigmatic public good that markets, let alone for profit oligopolies, simply cannot justly and affordably supply.”
He recommended removing Democratic lawmakers who oppose single-payer and socialized health care.
“Progressives must now work to ensure that some conservative Democrats who did not support the final bill will be punished with primaries or even third-party challenges,” he wrote.
Llewellyn argued the passage of Obama’s health-care bill opens the door for other progressive policies, such as immigration reform, anti-corporate measures and an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He wrote: “Passage of the bill does keep the door open for popular movements to demand strict financial regulatory reform, immigration reform, massive aid to states and localities, and a much-needed public jobs program.
“DSA and the larger progressive movement must create street heat in favor of these anti-corporate measures, as well as for a just resolution to the foreclosure crisis, and an end to United States involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
Communism researcher Trevor Loudon, writing at his KeyWiki website, notes the DSA previously outlined its goal as destroying private ownership in the U.S.
“Our goal as socialists is to abolish private ownership of the means of production,” wrote DSA National Political Committee member David Green in a 2007 Democratic Left article.
Obama connected to socialist group
Top DSA members have been closely linked for years to Obama.
Obama himself spoke at a DSA-organized forum at the University of Chicago in early 1996 called “Employment and Survival in Urban America.”
Quentin Young, considered the father of the U.S. single-payer movement, is a longtime DSA activist. He has had a relationship with Obama, particularly in the 1990s, when he reportedly advised Obama on health care.
Young was reportedly present at a 1995 meeting at the home of former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers who was said to have launched Obama’s political career.
Young has been active in Chicago socialist circles and was previously accused of membership in a communist group. In 1992, Chicago’s branch of the DSA awarded Young, a member, with their highest honor – the Debs Award.
In a 2008 article in the official Communist Party USA magazine, Young noted Obama previously expressed support of a single-payer universal health-care program, although he later waffled when asked about his position.
As an Illinois state senator representing a mostly black district on the South Side of Chicago, Obama publicly supported universal health care. He also co-sponsored the Bernardin Amendment, which did not pass but would have amended the Illinois State Constitution to add health care to the list of basic rights for residents.
Meanwhile, Obama spoke at the March 29, 1998, memorial service for Chicago DSA member Saul Mendelson.
Timuel Black, a DSA activist, mediated political disputes on behalf of Obama in the 1990s and was reportedly involved in Obama’s campaign committee during his successful 2004 Senate race.
Longtime DSA activist Arnold Wolf was a member of “Rabbis for Obama” and has held fundraisers in his home for Obama, including a function in 1995 that was aimed at introducing Obama to the Hyde Park activist community.
Eliseo Medina, international executive vice-president of Service Employees International Union, or SEIU, has been honored by the DSA. During the most recent presidential campaign, Medina served on Obama’s National Latino Advisory Council.
WND reported Medina, speaking at a 2009 Washington, D.C., conference, declared granting citizenship to millions of illegal aliens would expand the progressive electorate and help ensure a progressive governing coalition for the long term.
I warned you that the health care bill would lead to single payer insurance by the government.
I have been saying that they are leaving the borders open to bring in a permanent subclass of voters to keep them in power for over a year now! Finally, we have it out in the open!!!
And remember, the former president of the SEIU is now a cabinet member for Obama. How close a tie is that?
Venezuela seizes oil rigs owned by US company:
(AP) CARACAS, Venezuela – Venezuela’s government has seized control of 11 oil rigs owned by U.S. driller Helmerich & Payne, which shut them down because the state oil company was behind on payments.
Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez announced that Venezuela would nationalize the Tulsa, Oklahoma-based company’s rigs. He said in a statement Wednesday that Helmerich & Payne had rejected government demands to resume drilling operations for more than a year.
Helmerich & Payne announced in January 2009 that it was stopping operations on two of its drilling rigs, because Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PDVSA, owed the company close to $100 million. It said it would shut down the rest of its rigs by the end of July as contracts expired unless PDVSA began to make good on its debts.
I suspect that if we had anyone else but Obama as president, we would have an aircraft carrier parked near those rigs by now.

That is what Thomas Jefferson did when the muslims were raiding our shipping. (well, he didn’t send an aircraft carrier; just 6 Men O’ War.) Porker of the Month: Sen. Richard Shelby |
|
Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) has named Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) Porker of the Month for blocking the Obama administration’s attempts to eliminate funding for Constellation, a NASA program that is chronically behind schedule and over budget. Initiated under former President George W. Bush, Constellation aims to put man back on the moon by 2020. However, the Government Accountability Office, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Review of Human Spaceflight Plans Committee led by former aerospace executive Norm Augustine have criticized NASA’s management of the program. Sen. Shelby, whose state is home to Radiance Technologies, a NASA contractor and major Shelby campaign contributor, co-sponsored an amendment to the fiscal year 2010 emergency war supplemental bill that would shield Constellation from proposed budget cuts. “Americans are being forced to tighten their belts and the economy is limping along, but that doesn’t deter the porkers in Congress, like Sen. Shelby, who are still spending and rewarding government contractors orbiting the program. Sen. Shelby’s actions just perpetuate the notion that politicians in Washington are living on a completely different planet,” asserted CAGW President Tom Schatz. For launching pigs into space and contributing to the black hole of deficit spending, CAGW names Sen. Shelby June Porker of the Month. |
