Fort Hood Incident Saturates Media with Political Spins

For Any And All American Conserve-atives (not the British variety ala Fox News):

In light of the upcoming funerals and media coverage of the loss of additional American lives in the wake of the Fort Hood incident in Texas this week, it appears now the media spins are getting wider, deeper and more and more furious by the day.

Since America's presence in the Middle East in some form or another has been a fact since that British "taking" of the land now comprising Israel prior to World War I in an agreement entered into between a British Lord of the Realm and a British banker zionist, America's continued loss of life on behalf of this foreign non-U.S. based accord is becoming greater and greater by the year.

And what has been interesting has been one fundamental question which the media has not in any significant manner raised during the past several days of the "analysis" that are being made on both liberally based and focused mainstream sources - funded by either the Republican Globalists or Democratic Globalists ala FOX and CNN.

Just why would an avowed pacifist and war protestor enlisted or continued serving in the U.S. military during the continuation of this war, which has now gone on for more than eight years after the attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001.

Most enlistees, or even those career military officers - which is more likely since the accused is or was the base psychiatrist apparently - tours of duties come up for renewal in two to four year increments. 

The outrage of the American people, and the clearly questionable now basis for our continued presence in that region has been a well known fact as based upon false intelligence for over five years at this point.  And was, after all, the major focus of most of the liberals in their other extra-Constitutional positions who, however, were the major supporters of Mr. Obama in his run for the roses as the "change" candidate, after all.  Although disagreement with the continuation of this war as not in any way at all based upon Constitutional provision, or the intent of the founders with respect to defensive wars as hoping this country would remain as neutral as possible in such events as the continued Middle East situation, is not a liberal position at all, but actually a conservative one.

Most of these so called "progressives" and "liberals" of course now have continued to be suspiciously silent, although Mr. Obama is clearly following the Bush agendas and agreements which were reached with the "new" Iraqi government in his last 100 days in office calling for the withdrawal of all American troops by 2011, coincidentally just prior to the new U.S. presidential election cycle. 

So it will end just as politically as it began apparenlty - and not legally or Constitutionally brought or now ended in any manner whatsoever.

Now it is being reported the suspect will be tried in a military court, as deemed not an overt act of terrorism.  And, of course, terrorism itself is a practice used by many in our media and also those now serving on the Hill against the American people now more so than even most of these branded extremist Iraqi groups - whose very existence and training were, after all, at the hands of the U.S. military to begin with.

The suspects now behavior prior to the incident is now uncovering some connections to spiritual leaders in this country and the Middle East.

But just how did most of these individuals, after all, be approved for immigration to this country I haven't a clue, although the suspect appears to be an American citizen by birth and not an immigrant or naturalized citizen.

And at last count, over 80% of the American people are dissatisfied with our continued presence in this war now that the focus has shifted from the events surrounding what occurred those many years ago, to building up a U.S force and presence now in that region on behalf of Israel most of all once again.

And, of course, to fatten the bank books of the Wall Street financiers and those invested in the military industrial and manufacturing areas in this country.  All those "science based" technology firms which this Administration and the last were feeding at the cost of American soldiers and families.   Silicon Valley is bursting at the seams at this point, although California's governor whining about a shortfall.

Unbeliveable.

My heart goes out to the families of those affected, but it would appear that the perpetrators and blame that is shifting is being shifted from the true source of the cause of their actual losses.

And that is, once again, a foreign and military policy in this country that is centered not on national security whatsoever, but nation building and agressive and pre-emptive wars.

At the cost of the families of many Americans, not simply those that were and have been lost now in the past eight years - and a domestic security problem that has not been solved at all by the creation of that massive Department of Homeland Security.

Since that Department has decreased, rather than increased, its budgeting and funding for the measures needed to truly secure this country rather than giving monies to Mexico and Israel in the form of foreign aid for the Silcon Valley venture capitalists profits, many of whose investors are foreigners also, after all, with British and Middle Eastern investors.  

Funds were once again cut for the needed border fencing and security, and instead this and the last Administration also expanded its Visa waiver and immigration policies ten fold since 9/11 occurred.

In fact, a better name for this agency at this point is the Department of Homeland Insecurity.  With the running of their paid ads warning Americans to "have a plan" appearing to be the only real attempts to actually address the true defensive measures that would fundamentally secure this country from any such future incidents.

Such as reducing the number of airports and such available for those traveling to this country.  As Ellis Island was in the past maybe having three or four points of entry, rather than affording foreign based and owned airlines, ships and other modes of travel access to the interior airports and such would and could reduce the threat of any further attacks.

British Airways was given a contract for service to Phoenix years ago, and there are many foreign owned airlines with such contracts throughout the nation at the present time. 

It does appear that break downs in communications and also the shear number now of agencies involved in these domestic and foreign surveillance departments are having an adverse affect and not the solution, but part of the problem.

As it appears is becoming now clear in this incident, as it was in the original loss of lives on September 11th - since that also as blamed on a breakdown of communications between the FBI and DoD.  Now we have the FBI, DoD and Homeland Security pointing fingers.

So just where is the change, except more of the same, and around another 50 more dead or wounded Americans?

Washington Facilitating Foreign Leveraged Buy-Out Of American Assets?

For Any And All Conserve-ative Americans (not Global Socialists):

Due to many recent events, and some independent research I have done on my own rather recently as a now a political exile from the State of Arizona due to the ramifications which have progressively occurred to many long term residents and former natives in the loss of their homes, jobs and very state to an invasion now that is occurring from Mexico with the federal government's explicit support (hence, twice attempting to provide a "pathway to citizenship" and also amnesty for Mexican nationals in this country presently), and other rather recent legislation that was foreigner friendly at the cost of Americans, it is long overdue in asking some fundamental questions.

Is Washington purposely facilitating a leveraged buyout of American assets, in corporate speak.

After the truth of the bogus "foreclosure rescue" scams have now come to light more and more as throwing money at the Federal Reserve bank branches that were primarily responsible for writing some of those overly restrictive, and high cost "low interest" or "interest only" loans (when many were loaded with junk fees and costs also on the front end) as being nothing more than using those banks to "buy down" those investor's debts in order to then flip those properties for more banker revenue, the MO in Washington is becoming clearer.

Those homes now are being depressed to the point that if Mr. Obama (as Mr. Bush) again pushes for an amnesty, some of those properties taken from the existing Americans who were raped of much of their assets, and now with credit reports precluding any new home purchase for at least a decade, that it will be those "new" Americans that will be seeking some of them. 

Who, of course, won't speak very fluent English and thus prime patsies for the next economic manipulation and depression in the next 20 years under those now 40 year loans.  That has been the case since this is the third such manipulation in the Southwest in 30 years.  First in the 70's, then during the savings and loan Keating disaster, and presently.

Right now, foreign investors own a great deal of stock in some of America's foremost industries, some outright now such as China and the Hummer Division.   And even a great many of the American public utility companies, believe it or not, when Washington and the state governments afforded those "public" corporations then to privatize. 

Even our nuclear power plants at this point, since Palo Verde in Arizona was privatized after the ratepayers were promised the moon in reduction of utility costs in order to "go green" and go nuclear. 

After which, rates skyrocketed then to provide for those foreign investor profits, since their currency also was then higher than our own due to Federal Reserve manipulation. 

Which is, after all, owned by the European and British banking cartels.

Interesting enough also, while then homeless yet also concerned for the somewhat declining health of my elderly parents who live outside New Orleans and were evacuated for both Katrina and Gustav recently, and as a now struggling artist and photographer I visited the French Quarter while I was there for an extended period of time during which time my mother suffered two heart surgeries for blockages in her arteries by a South American heart surgeon. 

As having both a public and private supplemental plan provided by AARP, the corporate practice to which he belonged failed to check for a blockage when her blood pressure was off the charts and did relatively nothing insofar as testing basically until she eventually did suffer the inevitable.

At that time I also had a chance to visit the still recovering New Orleans greater metropolitan area. 

And made a visit to the French Quarter, which I had visited on former trips with my family since my extended family has lived there over 30 years.

The area is still struggling and rebuilding.  Mostly with federal contractors hiring illegal immigrant labor for much of the construction, and has it own now Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in order to promote their agendas and welfare. 

And the homes which were built on the only really habitable land there in the French Quarter which was surveyed by those original settlers and chosen for their settlement as a port on the highest ground available, are still standing and suffered relatively little damage due to the degree of construction used by those original inhabitants.  And of course also built on the highest ground near the Mississippi.

Many are now listed for sale mostly by a British real estate firm, Sotheby's of London, and being marketed to mostly British and Candian citizens. 

In fact, I ran in to several of them while walking through the Garden District taking some photographs.

Due to the differences in accents, it didn't take a formal statement of country of origin.  Some of the licenses and identifying personalized stickers on their vehicles also were in plain view.

And the most famous "new" American who now owns a good deal of our media and internet news sources is also a former Brit from Australia, Rupert Murdoch. 

And bringing his British style of reporting and political agendas with him in the process as not really also assimilating to this country, but attemping to make it more like his own.

So for all you foreigners wishing to leave yours in the belief that America still stands as that beacon of freedom and liberty, and land of opportunity in order enjoy the fruits of your labor, and lower taxation I have news for you.

The British won the war, apparently, without most of the American public being aware, and without firing a shot.

They simply bought our bank.  And have progressively also been buying up most of our valuable real estate. 

Including those homes now being lost that you hear about on your news in the Southwestern United States for the Mexican nationals, and Canadian retirees.

Who, of course, will be the next victims in this global pyramid scheme.

Senate Hearings Scheduled to Investigate Border Issue

In reading the online version of the Arizona newspapers as a political refugee from that state, I came across an article with respect to an upcoming hearing that is to be conducted over the border issues in Arizona in the very near future. After reading the article and as a multiple victim of this negligence who has family and friends still living there under war zone conditions, I sent the following letter to the Arizona legislature:

Dear Legislators:

I read with interest in the Republic that there is to be a Senate hearing now over the border issue and violence which has been occurring by one of the Senate Committees in the near future. Another "shut up" measure it appears, prior to Obama/McCain's push for that amnesty coming up in the fall, and scheduled after Obama's commencement speech at ASU on his "Push the Amnesty" tour now it would appear.

Due to the universities in which he has scheduled his public relations appearances (ASU and Notre Dame), it would appear that these occasions will be used for an agenda since this amnesty is something Washington eventually intends to push down the American people's throats whether they like it or not.

Interesting also that "as with all Senate hearings" there will be no public input. You would think in a government "of the people" that it is the people, not public officials, input that would be given the most weight - after all, it is the people and not the public officials who have been victimized, since a great many of those public officials also have agendas in their political positions.

Mayor Gordon is scheduled to speak - Mr. Sanctuary City, who even gave police protection to those illegals for their last demonstration. Terry Goddard, who has hidden in his office for the last six years, and has failed to prosecute in any meaningful way any of the illegals who have victimized state residents. Jan Brewer, who as Secretary of State and a new Governor to boot will have little in the way to add since she is there mostly for the big businesses profiting off this situation.

What a sham. And I guess merely another PR stunt, and way in which the Senate Committee members can get in some golf and a free trip to Arizona. The FBI statistics alone should paint the picture. And the amount of homeless in that state who have also been victimized. The facts are there - but it appears that facts are not something that those in Washington consider in any of their deliberations - nor the law or Constitution as to whose lives and property they are duty bound to protect.

I wonder what the tab on the taxpayers will be for this, again, bureaucratic PR stunt? Napolitano must have volumes in her office of background and statistics on this. And since even the public has voted at the ballot boxes and also screamed for those National Guard troops - just what additional "evidence" does this committee need anyway?

Merely a bonding exercise, it would appear, for those on this "committee," and visit to Troon.

And I wonder just how "political" and "downplayed" that testimony is truly going to be from those "officials" who have also betrayed their fellow Arizonans for literally years - such as Gordon, Goddard, the Governor's office, and the rest? Including the legislature.

Obamanomics: Spend, Spend, Spend Some More

For a candidate that ran on a platform of balancing budgets by "red-lining" and cutting the fat from government, and other rather fiscally conservative stances (for a Democrat), Barack Obama has really done a 180 since the election - and in less than 100 days in office.

After the horror of the 10 trillion dollar stimulus package he had rushed through Congress in order to "save the American economy," which included a great deal of funding for federal agencies and their expansion, upgrades for high tech improvements in federal office buildings, state and local government expenditures, and for basic infrastructure needs (Budget #1),  Congress then passed earlier this week the 2010 fiscal year end budget again exceeding 3 trillion dollars (Budget #2).  There was a great deal of political posturing involved, and backroom wheeling and dealing, but in the end this enormous budget passed both the House and the Senate.

Prior to it's passage, it was reported in several news sources that included within Budget #2 and in accordance with Mr. Obama's stated "transparency in government" agendas were sums in order to continue funding the War(s) in Iraq and Afghanistan until the planned troop withdrawals in 2010 and 2011 per agreements reached by the Bush Administration with the Iraqi government his last 100 days in office.

However, less than a week after passing this precedent setting budget, Mr. Obama has again asked to have prepared another supplemental appropriations bill for over $83 billion in addition to be earmarked for both the Iraq and Afghanistan war efforts.

And then ordered a pizza delivery for his invited guests Friday night from a restaurant in St. Louis.

So, just when IS that red-lining going to start?

Obama Orders Pizza Delivery From St. Louis

Apparently, when politically things couldn't seem to get more ludicrous than they already are here in the United States, a story comes out that simply is just too incredible to believe.

In a recent news report carried by the Chicago Tribune, it appears that Barack Obama decided that the menu for his 140 invited guests for a Friday night get together was to include pizza. 

But not just any pizza.  Pizza from a St. Louis eatery, Pi Pizza (as in pizza pie).

The White House flew the staff from the restaurant and their dough, sauce, cheese and pizza pans in order to deliver their haute cuisine personally.

In this declining economy and with Mr. Obama's stated concerns about "global warming" and energy conservation, I wonder just exactly how big those carbon footprints were for this take out order?

And to top it all off, the Tribune reported that the owner of one of the largest pizza restaurants in his home state of Illinois was miffed that he had been snubbed in favor of the St. Louis establishment.

The Tribune article:

Simply incredible.

Americans FED UP Over Border Issue

Recently, another writer expressed the frustration of many Americans due to the failure of our federal government to perform it's primary function, securing our borders and also addressing the enormous and massive amounts of illegal immigrants in this country, especially now in light of our economic condition.  He set forth his reasons and the article may be seen at:

http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/2009/04/americans-fed-up-with-politicians-who-refuse-to-enforce-the-law/

But I have some in addition, that only a border state resident at this point would be fully aware that I would like to contribute, and below is a copy of my Letter to the Editor of the publication which originally ran the opinion article:

Dear Editor:

I read with interest the opinion column of John Lilipop with respect to the illegal immigrant and border situation.  As a former 45 year Arizonan now a political refugee in another state due to this problem, and the costs it had progressively had on me and my family personally, I would like to add a few more items which many in the border states are FED UP with:

FED up that the U.S. is providing billions of dollars now to the government of Mexico in order to purportedly "fight" their own civil war against the drug cartel members;

FED up that Hillary Clinton blamed America for the access to guns and ammunition that these cartel members have been able to obtain, when it is more than likely that  most of those arms are being smuggled into the country either through South America, or are being allowed through Mexican customs by their own government officials (however if the fencing was done, such stockpiles of arms would not then be able to be smuggled as readily through also the over 700 miles of open desert bordering Mexico);

FED up that the American taxpayers are providing three Black Hawk helicopters to basically protect the American corporate interests in Mexico who have outsourced American labor, including those in the auto industry;

FED up that the lives of the American citizens now are viewed as no more than collateral damage for U.S. appeasement policies and corporate interests;

FED up that the historic corruption of the Mexican government as many Americans who have traveled and visited Mexico frequently are aware has also been whitewashed by our media, and the U.S. officials;

FED up that Mexico is being portrayed as a "poor" country, when in fact it is one of the richest countries due to both its oil holdings, and the drug trade which it has backhandedly supported for many, many years for Americanos dollars;

FED up that the media continues to be silent about the fact that in Mexico, non-citizens are not allowed to hold land or any property real property outright, nor are they allowed to participate in the political process of Mexico in any manner and to violate this law results in immediate deportation, WITHOUT hearing;

FED up with the lack of disclosure of the fact that if Americans had ever organized to stage the protests that the Mexican illegals have in this country, all Americans would either have been shot, or arrested and sent to Mexican prisons forthwith;

FED up with the lack of disclosure of the fact that there have been many Americans from the border states who have languished in Mexican prisons for years without trials, with their friends and family then charged sums in order to so much as visit their loved ones, over trumped up charges which instances have also gone unmentioned in the media;

FED up that instead of doing their Constitutional duty and protecting American lives and property, the U.S. government continues to promote "globalism" in order to convince Americans that Mexico's "democracy" and government is similar to ours;

FED up that the lives of children and young women and the number of American lives which have been lost due to the open borders situation continues to be downplayed and/or withheld from the public, while the number of lives lost due to the drug cartel wars, announced now at over 6,000, has been severely inflated in order to gain the foreign aid promised by the U.S. to Mexico in Merida;

FED up that our children are being actively marketed to in front of local high school and middle schools within yards of the "Drug Free" zones by those same cartel member distributors during lunch and before and after school;

FED up that in the border states at many times during the year the hospital emergency rooms are full of illegals with case of the flu resulting sometimes in 4-5 hour waits for Americans in order for they or their families to receive treatment, and are given preference over Americans for such care due to the federal statute that reimburses these hospitals at the American citizens expense, while many Americans can now no longer afford themselves to get insurance or visit a doctor due to crushing tax burdens;

FED up that the U.S. now is becoming more and more like Mexico's two class system;

FED up that the jobs that these illegal immigrants are taking in many sectors are not simply "jobs Americans don't want," but were and are jobs that our youth, military, construction workers and those  the lawful Mexican-Americans of the past formerly held;

FED up that this is being portrayed as a "racial" issue, when it is an American vs. non-American issue at it's core;

FED up that the illegal immigrant community has gained a voice in our Congress through taxpayer paid organizations that now lobby on the American citizens' dime for "foreigner" rights equal to and even over those of the lawful citizens at both the federal and state levels for grant monies and their legal fees, which is progressively bankrupting the lawful citizens in the process, and adding to our national debt on behalf of those who do not wish in any manner to truly make America their home;

FED up that while many in the illegal population may be gainfully employed in this country, in addition there are a great number who supplement their incomes with either drug trafficking, or theft of American citizen's property, including their identities, cars and other personal property;

FED up with the Catholic communities support for the "rights" also of illegal immigrants enmass in this country, while neglecting to mention that the Pope himself has a fortress wall around his own country in order to secure it, and which neither has made or given any indication of it's degree of support in whether or not the Church and/or members personally would be willing to "sponsor" many of these illegals until achieving citizenship as a demonstration of their commitment to their religious, political and personal agendas;

FED up that Janet Napolitano, Mr. Obama's chosen Secretary of Homeland Security and former Governor of Arizona, is now using the bulk of the stimulus monies in order to buy full body scanners at U.S. airports in order to further invade the rights and privacy of American citizens, while continuing to support open borders - which support actually has lead to further increasing the danger to her fellow countrymen in Arizona's lives and property, and which end result is now this escalating situation and border war due to her failure to truly address the severity of the border situation during her term as Arizona's Governor;

FED up that unless and until something is done relatively soon in order to effectively secure and fence our borders, more Americans lives will be taken, made homeless, and we quite clearly could lose the American Southwest in the not so distant future if the drug cartels profits continue, and they gain more and more strength in number and support;

And finally,

FED up with fellow Americans who continue to support open borders and massive immigration to the detriment of the lives and property of their fellow countrymen in the border states, which negative impact is and has been spreading throughout the country.

"Go Green" And The Global Greeners

It has been interesting to watch and listen to the "new" political party, global socialists,  (who spread on both sides of the American political aisle in the form of Dems or Republicans) and their rhetoric with respect to global warming, and the emphasis now on "Going Green," in the new Obama Admnistration.

At this point, I'm simply wondering if this new cause celebre out of Hollywood and the Globalist Party is the same as the Green Movement of the 60's.  The ones that were responsible for "saving the trees" and all that, who have now merged our two party system now into one focused on the "global economy" and "global free trade" for their corporate and personal interests. 

Those now responsible for the wildfires in California, North and Southwest and the timber waste and devastation continuing forty years later in dense, overgrown forests that are set off by lightening, or even static electricity, and then burn and destroy thousands of acres because the trees are now so dense that the flames spread out of control within a few short minutes.

Of course then abandoning their homes while still wet from their dip in their pools or spas - during, of course, the worst drought conditions in many years.  And battling Arizona, a desert state, over water whose forests also have suffered severe wildfires in the last several years due to those same "save the trees"  60's Greeners in that state.

The ones that prevented the timber and lumber industry from cutting down some of those trees, or even buying some of that land in order that "nature" was preserved in it's pristine state.

The ones that would bend over backward in order to "save the animals," castrated George W. Bush (although his presidency will go down in infamy due to his own liberalism with the Constitution), yet seem to be blinded to just how far Mr. Obama has strayed from his campaign rhetoric, and his minions sliding the cash over to those bankers who also were instrumental in funding his own campaign - and was instrumental in getting that bank bailout bill passed back in September.

The ones who fought for "cleaner fuel" and energy also in the 60's, but who didn't want those "ugly" wind towers in their own backyards due to the fact that the towers ruined their view of nature in all it's glory.

The ones who push for electric cars, but heaven forbid we build a nuclear power plant in order to upgrade the technology which would be needed to "Go Green" with electrically powered automobiles in this country in the amounts that would be necessary.

The ones who hold office on the Hill, yet fly their private jets and make unnecessary trips to foreign nations when they could be "Going Green" by using faxes and teleconferences in this blighted economy.

Just how many trips to Mexico and how many U.S. federal officials are needed in order to appraise the U.S. border situation?

Especially since the head of DHS is the former Governor or Arizona and should by now have enough information with respect to the declining border situation to fill twenty or thirty volumes on her recyclable paper.  After all, she is one of those on the Hill that is primarily responsible for this situation escalating due to her negligence in supporting the needed fencing that would curtail the drug trafficking to begin with.

The cartels do not cross at the ports of entry, so those new gadgets Ms. Napolitano is buying with the stimulus monies will have no effect whatsoever on the problem.

With Mexico blaming the U.S. for the ammo in which these cartels are equiping themselves, you would think that Mexico - if it was truly interested in stopping these drug cartel members - would actually be supportive of getting those borders fenced and secured so they could contain the problem.

The caliber and amount of guns with which the cartels are now armed could not have been smuggled through the ports of entry without assistance from Mexico's customs agents themselves.  It's a little hard to hide heavy artillery, even in a Humvee.

Instead of "green" fencing, we are equipping the Mexican government with high octane Black Hawks to fight their war, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayers.

Now they've even figured out a way to tax the air we breathe.  Its called a "carbon tax."  It's for the good of the planet, and Washington's wallet in order to spread more of America's generosity throughout the world, even while it's citizens continue to lose their jobs and homes left and right due to Washington's generosity on behalf of the American people (without, of course, their consent, i.e., taxation without representation).

I think I've figured out the type of "green" the new party, global liberals, actually mean when they use the term.  Finally.

U.S. dinero. Americanos dollars.

Go green.
