Lessons From "It's A Wonderful Life"

I have just finished watching "It's A Wonderful Life" for the umpteenth time. I love that movie! People say, "Merry Christmas" throughout the course of the movie so often I would imagine that it must make the skeptic, bah humbug anti-Christmas types cringe! Ha!

Plot summary:

George Bailey has spent his entire life giving of himself to the people of Bedford Falls. He has always longed to travel but never had the opportunity in order to prevent rich skinflint Mr. Potter from taking over the entire town. All that prevents him from doing so is George's modest building and loan company, which was founded by his generous father. But on Christmas Eve, George's Uncle Billy loses the business's $8,000 while intending to deposit it in the bank. Potter finds the misplaced money and hides it from Billy. When the bank examiner discovers the shortage later that night, George realizes that he will be held responsible and sent to jail and the company will collapse, finally allowing Potter to take over the town. Thinking of his wife, their young children, and others he loves will be better off with him dead, he contemplates suicide. But the prayers of his loved ones result in a gentle angel named Clarence coming to earth to help George, with the promise of earning his wings. He shows George what things would have been like if he had never been born. In a nightmarish vision in which the Potter-controlled town is sunk in sex and sin, those George loves are either dead, ruined, or miserable. He realizes that he has touched many people in a positive way and that his life has truly been a wonderful one. Written by alfiehitchie

When George Bailey's Uncle Billy accidentally left the $8,000 in the newspaper that Mr. Potter took back with him into his office, I watched the expression on the face of the man who wheeled greedy Potter around in his wheelchair. The sidekick's silence while watching such an injustice happen right before his very own eyes spoke volumes about the empty, couldn't-care-less attitude he harbored as Potter ordered him to wheel the nasty old man back towards the door so he could view Uncle Billy frantically looking for the lost money. Potter's "assistant" was obviously bought and sold and wouldn't betray or snitch on his evil boss - no matter what he did or how much harm he inflicted upon the people of the town. Remember, that money belonged to THE PEOPLE who were investing through Bailey's savings and loan company.

I see that a similar kind of theft is (unfortunately) alive and well within our current corrupt government.

Potter practically owned the entire town - except for Bailey's savings and loan company. He desperately wanted that too because the beautiful little homes being built by the company were taking people out of poverty and out from under the clutches of this money grubbing evil marketer.

Hmmm... it seems that Obama & cohorts are intent on keeping millions of Americans at the mercy of the government instead of doing what is right to help get jobs for people in order to get them out of poverty.

Recall that Bailey was offered a dream job by Potter - $20,000 a year (a fortune in the 1940's - when the film was made), but as Bailey started to shake Potter's hand, the slimey sweat he was feeling awoke George to what Potter was actually doing. Potter was going to "draw up the papers" of the agreement and you can bet that such an agreement would have taken Bailey's building and loan company away from George.

I see so many parallels in this movie as compared to what is going on via our current gangster government today. But some people STILL don't see the harm Obama & his cohorts are doing to our economy! The lure of "free" money - a third extension of unemployment benefits - is keeping people from seeking jobs. Some people choose not to make an effort to get off of the dole until the unemployment runs out. Many take the benefits and at the same time work "under the table" in order to get paid tax-free.

So, what is the solution to all of this? I think it would definitely help to keep the Bush tax cuts in place so that people will keep more of their earned money while at the same time, not add any of the pork or earmarks that the Dems want to the bill. Unfortunately, this lame-duck Congress will probably keep the pork in there and add more to the deficit before their final hurrah is over at the end of the month.

Yesterday, Legal Insurrection blog had a good post about this bait-and-switch scheme that the liberal leftist Dems and some of the more progressive RINOS are attempting:

I Have A Sinking Feeling That We Wuz Had

posted by William A. Jacobson at Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion - 1 day ago
When the "framework" of the tax deal was announced, I wrote that Obama "had a pretty good day." As the details of the actual bill are coming out, it looks like Obama had a great day, Senate tax bill lures...

My comment there:

Christinewjc said...
I, along with millions of Americans want the Bush tax cuts to remain in place. However, whenever this liberal leftist majority in Congress is involved in anything, you know that they will sneak stuff into the bill that doesn't belong there!

When Harry ReiDUNCE comes on board, you know the bill is troublesome and the RINOS in Congress have NOT learned their lesson from the TEA Party protests and the Nov. election results!

I'm so proud of Jim DeMint for being one of the first to recognize, and resist, this stink bomb for what it is!

The "deals" that this corrupt Congress are trying to press through are just as damaging to our nation's free market capitalistic system as was Potter's evil, money grubbing schemes which allowed him to take over most of the town of Bedford Falls economic industries.

More great comments at the Legal Insurrection link. In one of his latest posts, blog author William A. Jacobsen writes:

More Cornhusker Kickbacks and Louisiana Purchases

posted by William A. Jacobson at Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion - 20 hours ago
The original compromise tax bill was a mixed bag, at best. I understood the benefits, as well as the conservative arguments against. At least we were arguing over the merits of the bill. Now the tax dea...

Mr. Jacobsen concludes:

So, once again we get a Cornhusker Kickback and Louisiana Purchase in order to pass legislation which apparently cannot stand on its own merits. Except this time it's worse, because Republicans are a party to the payoffs, not standing in opposition as they were with Obamacare.

If there aren't enough Democratic votes to pass the tax deal without payoffs, then let it fail. Elections matter, and the nation is sick and tired of passing unpopular bills by paying off Senators.

If the original tax deal was good enough, then there will be plenty of opportunity in January to pass a bill without these payoffs. Or perhaps an even better bill.

I think he's correct! It would be better to hold off and vote on a clean bill without the Louisiana Purchase or Cornhusker kickbacks that the Dems want to pile onto the Bush tax cut extension bill.

The corruption, dishonesty, evil intent and willful ignoring that our current elected officials in Washington D.C. are guilty of is like the U.S.A. having a boat load of "Mr. Potters." I pray that things will change - for the better - with the new Congress getting into office.

One commentator at the "Wonderful Life" link (above) wrote something about the film that I think also could be related to the message that was sent by WE THE PEOPLE during the November election results of 2010 (see italicized portions):

This film has become a Christmas tradition in my family. We watch it every year and never tire of it. Frank Capra is a master of creating films with a message that reinforce strong values. This is probably his greatest film in that regard. Both he and Stewart have publicly stated that this is their favorite film.

The message in this film is one of courage and sacrifice for the greater good as George Bailey, a man with big ideas about seeing the world, continually forsakes his own desires to do what is right for the town. The second message is that each life [is] important. No matter how insignificant we feel we are, we are all inextricably linked to each other and play an important part in the fabric of one another's lives.
Capra's direction is brilliant. His genius is bringing human stories to life in ways that not only make a point, but that totally involve the audience in the lives of the characters. He is always extremely optimistic about the human condition. He is known for testing his characters with overwhelming adversity to make them struggle to triumph in a way that causes the world to change and the character to grow.

That is the exact prescription that our nation needs to learn and understand in order to get out of the grip of tyranny that the current liberal leftist cronies of Obama want to inflict upon the American people:

1. We need leaders in Washington who: "forsake [their] own desires to do what is right for the [nation].

2. WE THE PEOPLE must realize that perhaps God is "testing his [people] with overwhelming adversity to make them struggle to triumph in a way that causes the world to change [away from evil and back towards the Lord] and the [individual] character [within each of us] to grow" more in the direction of what God's Word would have us do.

Those Who Promote Evil Are Offended By Everything Good

Someone recently gave me an opinion about George Soros and Barack Obama. He wrote that he doesn't personally think that these two men (and others in and around the administration) are out to destroy America, but sincerely think that what they are doing is "good" for America.

I'm sorry, but I cannot agree with that!

All of the evidence points towards this truth - that the "evil emperor Soros" and his "puppet-man Obama" are out to "fundamentally transform America" (from what the Founding Fathers and most patriots here in America desire for our nation) into a Marxist, anti-capitalist, globalist regime which would end America as we know it - the Constitutional Republic that Benjamin Franklin described to the lady who asked him, "what type of government have you given us sir?"

Those of you who are to preoccupied with your own lives and perhaps pooh-pooh the dangers that America is facing today need to wake up, pull your heads out of the sand of complacency, and prepare for what is inevitably coming down the pike.

Much damage has already been done by the out of control Democratic destructive leadership in Washington D.C. Thank God that the 2010 election results will stop the Obama destruction machine in its tracks. But right now, during the Lame Duck session of Congress we are going to see a push for all things socialist and evil before the Republican leadership takes over in January.

On a personal note, my 86-years-young mother - a lifelong Democrat - is reading Sarah Palin's first book, "Going Rogue" and guess what? She is highly impressed with the lady! You see, prior to being at my home, my mom was a victim of the liberal media elites on all of the non-cable channels. Now that she has gotten a good dose of Fox News and is reading THE TRUTH about just who Sarah Palin is and what she has accomplished, her opinion of the woman has changed dramatically - and for the better!

I love the new blog post up over at American Thinker: Sarah Palin's Charisma

Excerpts:

If 'Bam is "historic" for being black (which is bizarre enough), Palin will be doubly historic for being a passionately conservative female president. Skin color is only skin-deep.


With President Sarah Palin, we will get a sane and moral foreign policy, totally different from Obama's wacky prostration to the King of Saudi. Palin will work to reverse the damage done by Obama's Medical Piracy Act -- a big, big job. And best of all, Palin gives a wonderful example of what women (and men) can achieve. Sarah Palin is a normal person with a normal life who decided to fix what's rotten in Anchorage -- and now Washington, D.C.


What could be better than that?

"Bam"...HA! Reminds me of the Flintstones cartoons where Barney Rubble's son, appropriately named "Bam-Bam" would attempt to destroy everything in sight with his over sized club!

Continuing:

While you're thinking about the next election, just enjoy the sight of Sarah Palin's charisma. Ronald Reagan had it. Obama lost it.

[T]his may be the crucial time for history to produce the woman, a critical time for a charismatic conservative to reverse the damage done by the Left. The single most important fact is that Sarah Palin can communicate. She can talk to the American people without talking down to them. She can have a real conversation, and it is high time to have a good talk with the American people...

Hers isn't the fake kind of "charisma" that was created via teleprompter (and the lap-dog media) for the Bam-Bam man. Nope. Sarah Palin is a real, genuine person who knows what she believes and why she believes it. And her morals, values, ethics, and love for America and America's Founders and Founding Documents shines through for all to see!

The first question that Sarah Palin asks in her new book, "America By Heart" is "Do you love your freedom?!" Of course, her audience of "rowdy patriots waving American flags and chanting, USA! USA!" roars in the affirmative in answer to her question.

"If you love your freedom, thank a vet."

How sad it is to realize that our military is being targeted towards destruction by the treasonous bunch running the show in Washington D.C. It totally disgusts me! But let's get back to Sarah Palin's introduction called "An American Awakening."

Palin mentions some of the signs that were held by TEA Party Patriots during demonstrations and states:

What honest, heartfelt sentiments. These people aren't an angry mob - they're Americans. Why do some feel the need to demonize them?

The answer is because of the evil likes of Soros-backed groups such as "Open Society," "SEIU" and other corrupt unions, and their Marxist bosses.

Don't believe me?

Then purchase and read WND's latest Whistleblower Issue: GEORGE SOROS AND HIS EVIL EMPIRE: Exposing the real power behind the radical transformation of America.

This issue illuminates the heart and soul of this mysterious leftwing transformer of societies. It reveals how he creates and financially sustains scores of influential and shockingly anti-American organizations – all dedicated to converting America into a European-style, government-controlled, socialist state.

"Soros, like Obama, is wired very differently than most of us," says WND Managing Editor David Kupelian. "He rejects and reviles most things decent Americans regard as good and sacred, and he tends to favor everything rotten: He wants to legalize drugs. He supports euthanasia. He's for socialism and opposes free-market capitalism. He’s for devaluing America's currency, telling the Financial Times last year 'an orderly decline of the dollar is actually desirable.' He supports the destruction of American sovereignty in favor of global governance. He detests conservative talk radio, Fox News and WorldNetDaily, and funds organizations that constantly attack the only free press America currently has."

In short, says Kupelian, "if it's immoral, subversive or harmful to America, Soros favors it, organizes it and funds it. If it's noble and freedom-producing, like free markets and small government, he despises it and creates organizations to undermine and ultimately destroy it. This issue of Whistleblower shines intense daylight on all of this."

Contrast people like Obama and Soros with people like Sarah Palin and TEA Party Patriots, and you see the obvious struggle over the future of America. Will we remain as Franklin stated, "a Constitutional Republic" (if we can keep it??) or become what the evil emperor and his cohorts have in mind for us - a "European-style, government-controlled, socialist state?"

I know my preferred choice to that question!!

Sarah Palin describes "the left" this way:

The Left seems to think that there's something wrong with America -- not something wrong with our policies or our government, but something wrong with our country and what we value. So they're hell-bent on changing it. They don't seem to share the timeless values that so many of us hold dear: our belief in our God-given freedom, our faith in free markets, and our certainty that the truths of our American founding are the way to a more perfect union.

A friend sent me a perfect illustration of this mind-set. It was a copy of the U.S. Constitution that was purchased with this warning label printed on the back: "This book is a product of its time and does not reflect the same values as it would it if were written today. Parents might wish to discuss with their children how views on race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and interpersonal relations have changed since this book was written before allowing them to read this classic work."

That's right: a warning label attached to the Constitution of the United States! It's outrageous, but in a sense it's a perfect reflection of the thinking of those who believe America needs a "fundamental transformation." They believe that the ideas of limited government and personal liberty that are contained in documents like the Constitution are dangerous and outdated. They honestly believe that our founding ideas and documents are obstacles to their vision of America. The Constitution doesn't reflect their values because it is a document that fundamentally constrains government. So they work to get around those constraints.

I think that Sarah Palin is being kinder than she needs to be about our political opponents. A LOT is at stake here and those who are "hell-bent" on changing our nation into a socialist utopia are not just different in their beliefs - THEY ARE ALSO DANGEROUS PEOPLE!

There is so much more that I could share about the introduction of Sarah's book. But I will save it for another day. For now, I will share what David Kupelian of WorldNetDaily wrote at the above link:

"Make no mistake," concludes Kupelian. "George Soros' goal is nothing less than to overthrow the United States of America and its Constitution. Fortunately, armed with the kind of information and insight found in this issue of Whistleblower, there's real hope we can engage and defeat the forces of the atheistic left which, for some strange and ungodly reason, always seem to be offended by everything good."

So true! The radical progressive left "IS offended by everything good." Why? For "strange and ungodly reasons."

Those of us who have read and studied the Bible - especially the books of the Bible that are detailed about prophecy - are not surprised by what is transpiring on earth the closer we get to the end times. However, I don't read anywhere in the Bible that we are to be complacent and just let evil take over here in America. We are here to preserve and protect American values for the sakes of our children and grandchildren! Listen and learn from Ronald Reagan's wise words:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. it must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States when men were free.

The Lies and Evil of ObaMarxist

1. Investigating Obama: Misrepresenting Scientists Comments and Opposition Arrests - Obama Police State Begins

Excerpt:

Lies, Lies…and More Lies

by Sher Zieve

Here we go again with ‘another day and another Obama & Co lie’. Guess our days would no longer be complete without a few dishonest pieces of ObamaPropaganda with our morning coffee. Tragically, many of our fellow citizens are becoming far too used to the tyrant’s hypocrisy and some are, now, even ignoring it as ‘Obama’s business as usual’. To accept patent lies from our country’s leaders is what got us into out current mess in the first place folks. And--as he continues to intensely revel in his still-unstopped destruction of our country--The Obama tells whoppers!

As Obama continues to run from his own legal duties, under both the Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act, he tells us that BP must correct the problem; while thousands of barrels of oil are dispensed into the Gulf each and every day destroying all life with which it comes into contact. But, Obama sees this as a political boon; one in which he plans to use in order to shove through his Cap & Trade bill that will hobble us all. So, he asked a group of scientists (the best in the country he told us) to provide him with a report. Note: Obama wants reports whilst he watches the totality of the occurring daily destruction. We believe he is, again, smiling broadly at his malicious work.

Obama’s scientific experts did--indeed--provide the dictator-in-chief with his requested--demanded--report. However, it did not go far enough for The Obama. So, Obama’s Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar surreptitiously “added” a few paragraphs at the end of the report suggesting the experts had recommended a cessation in drilling for oil. But, nothing could be further from the truth. The experts--via Ken Arnold--advised Fox News: “None of us actually reviewed the [Salazar revised] memorandum as it is in the report." Arnold said that it was a false addition and that not one of those preparing the report had recommended any cessation in drilling. In fact, he and the other experts said that doing so would be devastating to the US economy. Surprise! Obama & Co lied again in order to get their way. Salazar, of course, said he was sorry for the lie. But as we know, in ObamaLand, the end--whatever is employed by the Marxists to get there--justifies ANY means used and being a Marxist-Democrat means saying you’re sorry is all that’s needed. And the ObamaMedia will continue to largely ignore the oppression.

Obama’s Police State Begins in earnest

Obama now has had his Congressional minions--aka US Senators--propose a bill that will give the dictator total and uncontrolled seizure under anything Obama deems to be an “emergency”. Note: We suggest this “emergency” applies to the spreading of truth to We-the-People; especially but not limited to elections. Obama is now--officially--Hugo Chavez’ twin brother--only worse.

2. Lame Cherry Blogspot: Obama Deliberately Did This

Excerpt:

Remember after 9 11 that Bush 43 had Norwegian fighters patrolling American skies? Remember after Katrina how Bush 43 waved maritime laws which forbid foreign ships from operating port to port in America?
Yet Obama deliberately has shut down every effort to do anything to cap this gusher.

This blog offered the fix immediately after revealing exclusively the lies being put out this was a methane ice event in capping the well. BP only took like 45 days to do an inferior method, which allowed the complete pollution of the Gulf.

America has not seen the end of this, as Americans are so concerned about a hurricane driving that oil up on American shores, but what happens with Bowbama in a hurricane when this oil floods over Cuba, Venezuela or Brazil, and they haul the American taxpayer in for clean up costs and not "bankrupt" BP still making billions?
Obama will be borrowing more money Americans will have to pay back to clean up other nations for the deliberate criminal dithering he has played out.

There are absolutely no doubts in this. This all could have been handled as the Saudi's did in their massive spill, but Obama denied, defied and dithered any action to take place to alieviate this until a month into this. It is all so completely Obama motive in repeated criminal process that I honestly wonder how long it is going to take a united voice from the pundits to point out what this blog has revealed from the beginning in Obama deliberately did all this.

Obama is thee most heinous environmental holocaust instigator since Saddam Hussein, and if the Gulf were Jews instead of gulls, he would have even surpassed Adolf Hitler's final solution.

I state none of that lightly as Obama wiped out deliberately the GOP Gulf States. He is in process destroying 1 million jobs there in a Super Depression.

For those who have not been listening, there is ONE STATE in North Dakota which has been sinking a hundred oil wells, has an economic surplus, has made hundreds of millionaires.........AND BARACK OBAMA IS CURRENTLY IMPLEMENTING A TAX ON CRUDE OIL IN AMERICA TO DESTROY THAT GOP STATE NOW TOO.

I realize that Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are too good of souls to even contemplate that someone like Obama would be in a conspiracy to destroy individual GOP States, and deliberately pollute an entire gulf just to keep money flowing to his Muslim oil mafia and European banking cronies as America is disassembled by him from within so he can set up a thugocracy perpetual power Obamanation, it is time Paul Revere in this ride from this blog echo in the minds of talkers for them to finally grasp how heinous B. Hussein Obama is, as that is what the evidence is.

Obama Lacks a True American Voice

In this current climate of polarization between Republicans and Democrats, Conservatives and Progressives, Independents and Liberals, Peaceful and non-violent TEA Party activists and the violent, agitators/ Union thugs (e.g. SEIU), and the Birthers and their detractors etc., it is often necessary to scrutinize and dissect articles that any blog owner decides to include as a link in their post.

[Update: Ultimately, all of these conflicting ideologies can be included under the banner of the battle between free enterprise and statism (socialism, Marxism, Communism). See the videos over at Daily Thought Pad]

Case in point.

Legal Insurrection blog has a post up with excerpts from a Wall Street Journal Opinion Commentator - Dorothy Rabinowitz, who writes a stinging article about Barack Obama's "alien" status as our current Resident in Chief. [Note: Resident in Chief are my words, not hers.]

However, her use of the word "alien" in the article is probably not what you might first think!

Let me begin with a small portion of all (which is most of it) that I agree with in her article.

Excerpts:

The deepening notes of disenchantment with Barack Obama now issuing from commentators across the political spectrum were predictable. So, too, were the charges from some of the president's earliest enthusiasts about his failure to reflect a powerful sense of urgency about the oil spill.

There should have been nothing puzzling about his response to anyone who has paid even modest critical attention to Mr. Obama's pronouncements. For it was clear from the first that this president—single-minded, ever-visible, confident in his program for a reformed America saved from darkness by his arrival—was wanting in certain qualities citizens have until now taken for granted in their presidents. Namely, a tone and presence that said: This is the Americans' leader, a man of them, for them, the nation's voice and champion. Mr. Obama wasn't lacking in concern about the oil spill. What he lacked was that voice—and for good reason.

Those qualities to be expected in a president were never about rhetoric; Mr. Obama had proved himself a dab hand at that on the campaign trail. They were a matter of identification with the nation and to all that binds its people together in pride and allegiance. These are feelings held deep in American hearts, unvoiced mostly, but unmistakably there and not only on the Fourth of July.

A great part of America now understands that this president's sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class.

The next sentence is quite ironic. She simultaneously labels Obama as an "alien," (meaning that he is not like any of our previous American presidents); yet reveals her absolute disdain and rejection of the so-called "Birthers":

He is the alien in the White House, a matter having nothing to do with delusions about his birthplace cherished by the demented fringe.

Hmmm....

Well....

The last part of that sentence should delight the detractors of Talk Wisdom's coverage regarding Obama's ineligibility! I have been accused of being a racist, un-Christian, a tin foil hat wearer...and the list goes on. Now the haters of my blog can add "demented fringe" to the list!

HA HA HA HAAAAAA! For some reason, I find this all very humorous!

Even though I, and millions more Americans who want to see Obama's bona fide records have good reason to doubt that he is telling the truth about his birth place, I will take that derogatory label and wear it proudly. One day, the truth will come out. The fact is that Obama is hiding SOMETHING. What it is - we cannot know for sure. But it has to be big and very important in order for him to spend 2 million dollars to keep the lawsuit investigations out of court.

You must read the rest of this excellent article here.

Ms. Rabinowitz might be correct about this:

Long after Mr. Obama leaves office, it will be this parade of explicators, laboring mightily to sell each new piece of official reality revisionism—Janet Napolitano and her immortal "man-caused disasters'' among them—that will stand most memorably as the face of this administration.

...because Obama's residency in the White House and his corrupt parade of cronies really ARE "new piece(s) of official reality revision(ists)!" But I disagree that it will stand as the MOST memorable feat of this alien residency. IMO, there will be MUCH MORE that will be revealed and Americans will be wiping their brows after the long, hard, and very difficult struggle it will take to keep our Constitutional Republic, liberty and freedom alive. One day, we will all be saying WHEW! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! We will be celebrating our hard-earned ESCAPE from the journey into serfdom that the revolutionary Marxists/Islamo-Fascists tried to do here in the United States of America!

Thank God that the reality of the danger we face with this gangster government is finally sinking into the minds of most Americans!

In regards to the distance between Obama's terrible ideology and that of most loyal, patriotic, Constitution affirming and Declaration of Independence believing Americans (even some of the rabid leftists in the Lamestream Media of Mass Deception are questioning Obama's extreme ideology now!!) Ms. Rabinowitz concludes:

The truth about that distance is now sinking in, which is all to the good. A country governed by leaders too principled to speak the name of its mortal enemy needs every infusion of reality it can get.

Yep!

What If Pres. Bush Did This?

I have a question for my liberal blogging friends who occasionally choose to comment here at Talk Wisdom. Please read the following post from American Thinker, and then answer me what would have happened if President George W. Bush (or any other Republican president) did such a stunt?

Obama Attends Non-Existent Soccer Game?
posted by null at American Thinker - 11 hours ago
We are told that President Obama broke tradition and ditched the presidential press pool over the weekend to watch one of his daughter's soccer games. But the story has several problems.

Recall that my previous post shared links that brought up Obama's mysterious actions which were initially explained away by a spokesperson as "Obama attending one of his daughter's soccer games."

The American Thinker commenter's have been speculating about Obama's 41 minute disappearance without the press. Apparently, it has also been reported that the Secret Service didn't accompany him either! Don't you find that very odd???

Some of the speculations regarding his whereabouts included:

1. The daughter's soccer game (now know to have been non-existent).
2. He went to buy drugs.
3. He may have been involved with giving secrets to Russia.
4. It was a ruse to get people (especially the press) away from the White House for some nefarious purpose. Who was let in at that time? I know. People will say that there are logs taken for everyone who enters the White House. What makes anyone think that this lying, cheating, unconstitutional, fraudulent, America-destroying usurper would follow any "White House rules?" He doesn't even follow the United States Constitution!!
5. He had a gay sex tryst. (After all, isn't Michelle out of the country in Haiti?)
6. He went to smoke some crack.

Better yet, let me share some of the comments:

Every thing about this guy, Barry Soetoro, is suspect. Everything he does and says is just down right creepy. Just to look at him with that smirk on his face. If you look closely enough at his eyes you can see evil and the eyes say, almost out loud, "I'm lying and I really want to hurt you". That's what my gut instinct tells me about O'Barry. He's always sneaking around and you can't believe anything he says. I mean, what can you expect from a guy who's first executive order is to seal his birth certificate and school records? What kind of person would do something like that? Someone with something to hide? That would be my guess.

He ditches the press lackeys and Lady M, and goes away for about 41 minutes. No soccer game is scheduled, the field is abandoned, the press is told to turn around. Sounds like he had to meet his connection alright. Maybe a little storm blew in from Bolivia, maybe a little local "agriculture".

BTW, you are not allowed to smoke TOBACCO in the White House. Rules don't say anything about anything else.

Where were his kids?

We have every reason in the world to suspect something foul when Obama disappears like this. It's not the first time. Obviously he didn't want the press corps following and photographing him. Since there was no verifiable "soccer game," his leaving the WH like that is provocative. He's hidden his documents and most of his history. He doesn't care about the process of how things get done......he said so himself. What was he "getting done" this time?

Since Emudude has brought up the topic, I would add that if Obama has found a place to hide he better keep it a secret, he may want to return there.
The Hansard reports that “Obama born in Kenya”. (March 25, 2010, page 31.) [www.bunge.go.ke]
In fact this record of the Kenya Parliament has revealed much about the great love and devotion that the Kenyan people have for their “son of Kenya”. The records of November 5, 2008 and March 25, 2010 alone are evidence enough suggesting that Obama has a great connection with the African country. [www.bunge.go.ke] And should not the question be asked, will the Kenya government ask to see and examine Obama’s long form birth certificate now under seal?

I think we are being led down a rabbit hole. This administration is very good at creating red herrings. What ever happened during that time, we would need to look at something bigger than just where the president was, and why the press corps was lured away, and why none of the players seem interested in truth. The commentators who mention that the heads of several important nations were in town, and that Poland's highest officials had just died, are most likely onto something. If this is indeed a nice neighborhood, rather than a bad one, I think that hints at a secret meeting, rather than a drug run. But it could have been both. Imagine how much blackmail power a foreign country could have in the white house is they were the supplier for POTUS. But life isn't a Tom Clancy novel. Beware the red herring.

Meanwhile, in other news, Code Pink leader Jodie Evans meets with White House officials and then Taliban members in Afghanistan....

How in the heck he ever got elected without knowing any more about him than we do is a mystery in to and of itself. It may come out someday, but as often is the case, there is much more to this than has been reported. The whole thing just simply cannot be explained away by fatuous love displayed by the media.

Come on! He could have found a better story than the soccer games scam for that, or no story at all. Why not say, the President is busy now - with no further explanation? Or that he is studying a CIA intel document that cannot be discussed?
The only plausible reason for using the soccer story is to get rid of the press for awhile, but why that?

Its disgusting that the MSM has done nothing to vet Obama or to keep him honest. A President doesn't have the right to sneak away for 40 minutes -- it might suck, but its the way it is. For the media to ignore this borders on treason. I don't care how innocent the 40-minute mission was, he's the president and he is accountable to the U.S. for every minute of his time. F-stop that sounds very plausible. It also sounds plausible that he met someone secretly. That part of Pennsylvania Avenue and immediately surrounding is not a bad neighborhood BTW. I don't trust this guy one bit and its things like this that make it worse.

Wow! The following article is certainly chilling... very chilling in fact! What makes it all the more important to read and pay attention to is the fact that the writer admits to being a recovering liberal!

The Shock of Barack
posted by null at American Thinker - 11 hours ago
I've been feeling funky since Black Sunday, the day of the health care debacle. As a therapist, I'm usually able to identify my feelings. But this one had left me stumped.


Excerpts:

It took a conversation with a conservative friend, Nancy, for me to pinpoint the feeling. Nancy told me that a Jewish co-worker, a staunch Obama supporter, was feeling "shell-shocked" by Obama's vilifying Israel.


Bingo. That's what it is: stunned, shell-shocked, traumatized.

[T]rauma means witnessing something that humans are not designed to see, a horror that is more than the self can absorb. The brutality of war, a gruesome crime scene, the sudden death of a loved one. Or the evil that unfolds through unchecked power yielded by megalomaniacs.

For me, trauma was that cloudless November day, years ago, when I exited an Oakland restaurant at noon and soon thereafter, lay prone on the concrete, bloody and broken.


Just moments before, I had looked into the eyes of a man who didn't know that I was human, or who knew but didn't care. I saw something sinister in him, but I ignored my gut. I was still steeped in liberal political correctness and didn't want to appear racially insensitive.


When I see what Obama is doing to this country, how he is treating its citizens, I'm reminded of the man who mugged me. I think that both are constitutionally incapable of seeing our humanity. And each day that Obama is in office, he communicates this same deadly message to the masses -- that opponents are not human.


This would explain the burgeoning of hate and even violence towards those who deign to disagree. And why Tea Party members and conservatives are being targeted, as well as entire countries like Israel.


And this would illuminate why Obama is unfazed while the economy crashes. And why he cavalierly demonizes Israel, putting millions of Israelis at risk. And it explains why Obama mocks conservatives who are legitimately worried about this administration's violating fundamental rights.



But how could Obama see us? Did anyone in his childhood ever see him?

Read it all here.

She concludes:

From what I have seen this last year, Obama shows no ability to walk in another person's shoes. This would require empathy and sensitivity, traits that are nowhere to be found.


Frankly, every time I see Obama, I catch a glimpse of the man who mugged me.


And that, to me, is the true danger and horror and shock of Barack.

In my mind, the sentence that ultimately describes all of the corruption, contempt, cheating, lying, bribing, threats, dishonesty, hatred, race-baiting, targeting, betrayal, attacks, abuses, looting of American taxpayers, contempt towards Israel, infliction of Marxism, appeasement of terrorists and rogue nations, and all the rest of the unconstitutional acts that are being wielded upon the American people by this despicable gangster government can be described in the 5 most descriptive words chosen from the article for the title of this post:

Ten Most Corrupt Politicians

FYI - I have been on the road all weekend so the post that I intended to do on Glenn Beck's documentary will be posted sometime early this week.

Meanwhile, I found Judicial Watch: Announces List of Washington's "Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians" for 2009 very interesting. So are the comments. Will cite more of the comments when I get a chance.

My first question is, why only a top ten? There are plenty who could fill a list of twenty - maybe even thirty dirty politicians!

One comment that caught my eye was this one about Nancy Pelosi:

Wed, 12/30/2009 - 10:08am — Anonymous (not verified)
Nancy Pelosi aiding and abetting
Let's not forget that Nancy Pelosi signed two different nomination certification documents after the DNC convention. The certifications for now Pres. Obama and VP Joe Biden contained Constitutional verbiage for only the Hawaii certification, the other 49 states received a version without the Constitutional verbiage. This at least limits her liability to being prosecuted in one state as opposed to all 50 for the falsification.

It's VERY interesting that the lone Republican is up for a sex scandal, routinely dismissed as 'typical, forgivable human failings' for most Democrats.

If any lawyers (or people knowledgeable about lawsuits) come along, could you please tell readers here why a lawsuit cannot be filed against Pelosi for falsification of Obama's nomination certification documents in 2008?

This one is really good too:

2009 and Government
I did not vote for President Obama but when he won the election I did not realize that Obama hated America and Americans to the degree he has shown over the last 11 months. I did not realize the Obama would dismantle our private sector to the point where many industries are now owned and/or run by the federal government (AKA communism, Marxist, socialism...take your pick); push unions and put working Americans down; push Marxist health and put seniors at risk; care more about being a buddy to terrorists in foreign lands than protecting the USA!

But the best thing that came out of this is....even though I had stroke and didn't walk very well I got to be part of 1.7 million Americans who marched on DC on 9 12! The best experience of my life! I am part of a letter writing group (one of thousands in our country) writing to senators and representatives asking them NOT TO PASS OBAMACARE, NOT TO PASS OBAMAENERGY!

I have seen an army of Americans go to war on our land every way they can to save our country from Obama, Rahm, Pelosi, Reid, Van Jones, Eric, all the Marxist czars, Rangel, Schumer, Baucus, Waxman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what Glenn Beck wants to know. This week, Glenn is presenting a special - The New Republic: America's Future? Reasonable Questions for Unreasonable Times. Tonight's show was simply awesome! Very scary - but being informed is far better than keeping one's head in the sand!

Here are some of the questions that Glenn (and, now, all who have been watching his show) wants answered:

August 25, 2009 - 2:05 ET


Watch Glenn Beck weekdays at 5p and 2a ET on the Fox News Channel...

Am I hateful if I ask:


- Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?

- Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?

- Are the President's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?

- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?

- What roles do they have in crafting bills?

- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?

- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?

- What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?

- Do the czars have power?

- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?

- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?

- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?

- How many people in the administration are connected to the movement for a democratic society?

- What role does George Soros play... CONSTITUTIONALLY?


- Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?

- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?

- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?

- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?

- Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them, how exactly does that work?

- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?

- Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?

- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?

- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?

- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people?

- If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?

- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?

- Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?

- Why would you want to overwhelm the system?

- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?

- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

Former Talk Wisdom blog posts about Soros:

Financial Terrorism?

Nobama's Radical List Grows

The following is an excerpt from From Bill O'Reilly's "Culture Warrior" book which is also posted in the "Nobama's Radical List Grows" link:

Bill O'Reilly has opined MANY TIMES that Soros is A VERY DANGEROUS PERSON. In his book, "Culture Warrior," O'Reilly shares much of the awful truth about this evil man. There are over two dozen pages that either mention or describe how despicable a man Soros truly is! You owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of Culture Warrior and read Chapter One.

Soros has several partners in crime and organizations that he supports which are bent upon destroying America. WAY to much information to type out here. However, O'Reilly sums it up this way:

To sum up, Soros is a smart, ruthless ideologue who will stop at nothing to advance the secular-progressive offensive. He has no scruples, ethics, or sense of fair play. The guy reminds me of Colonel Banastre "Butcher" Tarleton, the most justly hated Redcoat during the Revolutionary War. Soros and Tarleton can both be associated with take-no-prisoner policies: In both cases, their prey, whether traditionalists today or colonial rebel fighters in the eighteenth century, were simply people trying to strengthen their country.

I mean it. for traditional-minded Americans, George Soros is public enemy number one. Without his unlimited cash (along with that of Peter Lewis), the S-P movement could not attack so readily and so effectively - and with such venom. Soros envisions a libertine society that soaks the rich (except for him) and forms no judgments on personal behavior. His one-world philosophy would obliterate the uniqueness of America and downsize its superpower status. His secular approach would drastically diminish Judeo-Christian philosophy in America and encourage his own spiritual philosophy: atheism. George Soros is truly an imposing force, and his elite media allies are making him even more so. We ignore him at our peril.

Obama's Strawberry Fields? Kenyan Birth Proof?

Recall that Beatles' song, "Strawberry Fields?" Here are the lyrics:

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right.
That is I think it's not too bad.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out.
It doesn't matter much to me.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always no sometimes think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think, er No, I mean, er Yes but it's all wrong.
That is I think I disagree.

Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

For some reason, that song popped into my mind as I read a string of comments by "anonymous" over at Investigating Obama

Last evening, when most of the blogs (including this one) were gleefully reporting on the new found "Obama Kenyan Birth Certificate," the author at Investigating Obama wrote: "New Kenyan Birth Certificate is Most Certainly a Hoax." This morning, he included: "Or Is It, Sam?"

Commentator "Emudude" corrected us all by writing:

For Starters, This is not the actual Birth Certificate. It is a Certified Copy of Registration of Birth from Kenya stating that there is a Kenyan (British) Birth Certificate on File of Him being born in Kenya. Just like there is a Certification of Live Birth (not a Birth Certificate) stating that there is a Birth Certificate located in Hawaii for Barack Obama II. It Looks way more Official and real than the one Obama posted on his website. This is a Photograph of an Actual Document from 1964. More than likely this was made for the Divorce Document for Obama Sr and Stanley Ann Dunham. Personally, I think its Real. Obama has never shown that he Supports America. He refused to wear the Flag during the Campaign, Didn't put his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance. He has done nothing but Bad Mouth America since he first showed up. When has this man showed ANY support for this Country. Even now he is Socializing this Country. Would an American do this????

August 2, 2009 10:04 PM

Next a commentator by the screen name of "Aristotle the Hun" wrote:

I'm not certain yet but my hunch is it is authentic.

Here we go:

Ann filed for Divorce Jan. 20, 1964 (Inauguration Day – what are the odds?), and the date was set by the presiding judge for the trial to commence 30 days after Obama SR would have responded to his notification, sent to Cambridge, Mass (Cambridge – what are the odds? ).

Judge Samuel P. King who granted the divorce – last I heard was retired and alive (for now) in his 90s in Hawaii — MAY or MAY NOT have asked to see the Marriage Certificate. BUT, I bet Judge King asked to see Obama JR’s Birth Certificate to confirm Ann’s claims that Obama SR was in fact the father. That is “standard” policy to have a Birth Certificate in case the mother asks for child support from the father (or Welfare) later after the divorce. Judge King probably told Ann to produce a birth certificate before or at trial, which would have been sometime in mid- to late-February 1964 HAD Obama SR answered his notice that was sent to Cambridge.

When Judge King wrote the order on Jan. 23, he had his clerk notify Obama SR via what’s referred to as a “knock and nail”. That is, the postman leaves the notification on the door for (generally) 10 days and retrieves it after that time passes — signed or unsigned. That order was sent on Jan. 23 via airmail from Hawaii and was probably posted on Obama SR’s door Jan. 27-28.

Obama SR’s notification was unsigned by him and apparently IGNORED — either he didn’t want to accept it OR he was NOT at that location.

However, Judge King granted the divorce to Ann Obama (which changed back to Ann Dunham) exactly 60 days from when the original order was request by Ann by default.

NOW, my guess is that Judge King asked to see Obama JR’s Birth Certificate before he’d be willing to grant the divorce, either at trial or by default on March 20, 1964. Ann probably didn’t have the birth certificate when she filed on Jan 20. That’s when this birth certificate would have been generated — before trial for the 1964 divorce.

Important side note: the Certificate issue date of Feb 17, 1964, is JUST A FEW SHORT MONTHS AFTER KENYA BECAME INDEPENDENT on Dec. 12, 1963. TO THIS DATE, this may be the only certificate on Kenyan file today if British documents were sent to the UK for archiving leading up Kenya becoming an independent nation.

If you note the date on the Certified Copy, it was created by the Registrar in Kenya on Feb. 17, 1964. The Kenyan Birth Certificate would have been issued in the midst of the divorce — AFTER the divorce was filed by Ann in Hawaii on Jan. 20, but BEFORE the divorce was granted by Judge King on March 20.

Furthermore, it’s quite plausible that once Ann actually had this Kenyan birth certificate in her hands, and the divorce was granted on March 20, her attorney, George Kerr, counseled her on Hawaiian birth certificate “loopholes” and told her how to file for a Hawaiian “Certificate of Delayed Birth” to get Welfare or OTHER support for young Obama as a child of a non-supporting foreign national.

As Hawaiian law allows, that CODB could have been “upgraded” later to a “Certificate of Live Birth” in the 60s or 70s, which would then be a “root document” of the shorter “Certification of Live Birth” we see today presented as proof of birth from Barack Hussein Obama II.

I can’t vouch for the veracity of the Kenyan birth certificate itself, not knowing how or from whom Orly obtained the birth certificate (the chain of evidence). It may have been obtained quite surreptitiously from the only filed Kenyan birth certificate record copy requested — likely generated from the 1964 divorce.

It’s QUITE possible that all other copies of this Kenyan birth certificate may have been scrubbed from Kenyan archives, but this one may have survived in a lone Vital Statistics office somewhere in Kenya not known about until now.

HOWEVER — the dates DO “line up” for the Kenyan Birth Certificate to be REAL.

I read similar postings at several blogs last night. It appears to have been copied and circulated around.

The next few comments by "anonymous" appear to have been copied and posted as well. However, when I read through them, it was then that I thought of the Strawberry Fields lyrics. Even though the original lyrics were meant to be applied to the druggie lifestyles of the 60's and 70's, they could also (some of them, anyway) be applied to the current NWO attempted takeover of America - utilizing the ObamaFRAUD usurpation occupation at the White House for implementing all the strategies cooked up by the radical leftist Soros types in the world who have been spent BILLIONS over the course of many elections to get our nation to the point of destruction.

All the groups that Glenn Beck has been exposing on his radio and T.V. show are part of an intricate puzzle that is now being revealed and coming into much clearer focus, for the purpose(s) of the treasonous actions that we are all witnessing in Washington D.C..

Here is a copy of the "anonymous" comments:

AAAhhh.....and the play continues with the amateur investigators going over a few old posts on this subject[the 1964 divorce] from CW and elsewhere,missing the larger picture,and how Intelligence operations are carried out.Looking beyond this or any forthcoming birth certificate requires looking at what has transpired between governmental agencies,all three branches of our government,and all the eligibility lawsuits,and the focus on certain individuals.Then researching any CIA,NSA,MI6 and Mossad connections.And then look at the convenient timing of all this coming down at the same time with the GJs and criminal complaints being filed as well as geopolitical events and the cabal running the show.But most people take the bait each and every time right up to the end.Gee,
I guess the defense just flubbed and defaulted by accident in the Keyes case.And our CIA and FBI are just a little slow at finding information in this high tech age.Just another coincidence the MSM is covering this and now working feverishly to belittle the NBC issue.I guess they aren't that good at that dreaded Cloward-Piven strategy any longer.

It never dawns on some people that anything can be forged,and most people can be bought off.Or that an authentic BC could be released to a celeb lawyer on purpose.Or that Barry was chosen for this position before his birth and has no BC,and the only record of his birth would be written in blood and kept in sacred books[for elite bloodline families],and the rest of his life a monumental fiction.Or the spiritual significance of choosing both Hawaii and Kenya as the focal points,and leaving out Papua New Guinea and Indonesia as a fringe sidebar to the story.Or the increase in racial unrest straight from the White House,and getting the birthers tagged as racists in the MSM.Or the fact that if anyone in the government cared there would be QW and we would get all this out in discovery,and having SCOTUS rule to uphold the Constitution and the NBC requirement and clarify the definition.But now,this will play out with the BC as the focal point,and not by any honest judges or representatives in our government.Keep dreaming folks.TownHall Meetings are being shut down because the elitist Reps are offended that an "unruly mob" dare ask for our will to be carried out.They have no fear,and desire the planned chaos coming.

The master planning in this usurpation and destruction of the USA is so complete,that otherwise intelligent people are losing their critical thinking faculties.With this crisis going on for so many months,it should dawn on thinking people that any legitimate documents coming from honest sources would make a hundred copies and circulate them far and wide in addition to giving them to a celebrity lawyer anonymously,and playing the old "I fear for my life" angle.Berg did his job well burning the BC distraction in the minds of the masses.This is like a high budget version of a Plains Radio Escapade.Yet,I know of only a handful of researchers that are seeing though this game.I'm sure there are more,but they are not covering this subject in great detail,so when we look at the blogosphere we are seeing a mass delusion across the board.But we have the so-called experts on all this Alinsky,and Ayers,and Coward-Piven stuff that simply have no grasp of the Global Conspiracy.I've read and listened to them for months,and they haven't a clue.And they are jumping on this Barry BC Bandwagon because of that lack of knowledge.Arlen,Sam already has you doubting your gut instincts,which is telling.Too many people do not research on their own.They rely on experts.Most of us are not lawyers or experts in any field,so we are all having a problem trying to find out who this mystery man is.But,that doesn't stop a good researcher from putting the pieces of the puzzle together by looking at what is going on in government and the courts,and putting it all together with the hundreds of admissions of the Globalists of bringing in a Fascist New World Order after a major global crisis.Barry is but one piece.

Here let it be noted that Obama claims Hawaii as his birthplace, although he has never proved that. Using his claim, however, we find some very interesting numbers. We know that Satan told Almighty God in Job 1:7 that he had come from walking to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it. To and fro would indicate latitude, and up and down would indicate longitude. The latitude of the claimed birthplace of Obama in Hawaii is 21.6. Those three digits that make up 21.6 are significant because the number 216 is the number 6 cubed, or 6x6x6=216. Obama was born on August 4th, 1961, which is the 216th day of the year, another 666. We also know that Obama’s office in Chicago, Illinois, had an interesting zip code: 60606. In the ancient Babylonian numbering system of letters having numerical equivalents increasing by six for each letter, we find that the words “A messiah Barack” equal 666. We also know from Revelation, chapters 7 and 14, that the number 144,000 represents the people of Almighty God. It is the Antichrist that tries to divide them. If we divide the number 144,000 by 666, we find an amazing quotient of 216.216216. If we divide 144,000 by 216 we get the number 666.666666
We must also remember that Obama’s claim of birth in Hawaii is further revealing, because Hawaii is in the Pacific Ocean. The word Pacific means “peace”, and the Scripture says that the antichrist will come as a man of peace. We also know that the metaphoric meaning of the word Hawaii comes from “Ha” (breath of life), and “Wai” (fresh water). Thus, in metaphor it means “the water of life.” The extra letter “I” would then indicate, “I am the water of life.” This is a title that belongs only to the Lord Jesus and not to Barack Obama.
Obama is also connected with Kenya, which is no doubt his real place of birth. The word Kenya is actually a feminine word pronounced “Keen-ya,” and it refers in feminine usage to the “cradle of mankind” in the native Kikuyu language. The literal meaning of the word Kenya is “the abode of the gods.” Even Obama’s political roots in Illinois are significant because the word Illinois is an Algonquin word which means, “Tribe of superior men,” or In other words, the master race. There is much more that could be said!D.Meyer 2-09

Of course,the spiritual dynamic has no effect in a court of law,but to dismiss what is taking place is folly.Don Nicoloff's research is excellent and yet he is never interviewed or covered by the so-called birthers,though I've heard Sam on his show.Which is why it is odd that he is falling for this BC so easily and quickly,even if he disagrees with the conclusions Don makes..Maybe Barry was born in Kenya,but I would not get so excited until a court examines it.And I certainly have no hunches or instincts that lead me,as an historian and researcher into the NWO and the occult,to get giddy over this BC.Real or not,this fight will be lost because people have been distracted and misdirected for too long.I don't blame a guy like Leo for giving up until urged to keep blogging for the historical record.I'll play the fool as well for telling the truth.Doom and gloomer as I'm known here.The truth hurts.This is bigger than just fighting against a few Marxists in DC.And regardless of where Barry was born the Hawaii and Kenyan angle has been a thesis and antithesis for people to play off of while the synthesis is about to become known to us.

You can find the story in the open thread.I knew Orly would get the BC and it would play out in the hellish courts.I didn't know how she would get it,or what it would say,but I knew she was the lawyer picked and Fiddler Farah did his job quite well in all this.That's not to say they are agents provocateurs,but rather useful idiots that have ignored sage advice over the months.I feel sorry for Mario.He is a good lawyer,but he'll never be allowed to follow through.He has more hurdles to overcome than just the "standing" one.But for show,he might get the standing and a scheduled court date for the next stage.

My question remains as it always has - when will those who drank the Kool-Aid of the ObamaFRAUD delusion come out of their stupor and stand with those who clearly see what is happening before our very own eyes? What will it take for the black loyalists who voted for the 50% white, 43% Arab, 7% black African man who lied throughout his campaign and duped them into thinking he was a patriotic American on their side of the issues finally see that he's a fraud - and worse yet - anti-American?? I ask you. Over the last 8 months or so - WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR YOU???
There has been speculation that Michael Jackson was murdered. There has been more speculation as to the reason for his murder. There has been speculation that it might have had something to do with the deliberate creation and spreading of the H1N1 virus and a Saudi billionaire who was owed millions of dollars from Jackson. There has been speculation that Jackson was going to use his European tour to expose the truth about the issue. There is speculation that the orders to kill Jackson came from very high places. I ask you. If Obama was involved in "ordering" the hit, would black Americans THEN WAKE UP and see that Obama is evil and a liar from hell???

I know. Harsh words. Very harsh words. But I don't think that such a scenario could only be speculation. What if it's true? What would it take to wake people up? Would proof that the death of a beloved (according to many) celebrity turn people like Sharpton and other black leaders against Obama?

I really don't know.

Perhaps the "race card" mantra that has been drilled into their heads for so long is just too strong an entity to ever be eliminated from their thinking.

Update: Yep...just as I suspected would happen: Blame it on whitey.

But the demise of our Constitutional Republic that is going on right before our very own eyes doesn't appear to be enough to get the black supporters to turn against Obama. It seems to me that they will fight to the death to support him, despite the fact that all of his bogus POTUS policies are leading our nation towards ultimate destruction.

It is then that the takeover will be complete.

However, patriots like Alan Keyes, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and Chuck Norris [Note: more to be added as I think of them.] won't allow us to go down quietly. I am certain of that! The more that is being revealed about the usurper puppet and his minions of America-hating surrogates; the more true, patriotic, U.S. American Citizens (OF ALL COLORS!!) will rise up and fight against them!!

I am still holding out hope that this latest discovery and exposure of the Certified Copy of Registration of Birth from Kenya stating that there is a Kenyan (British) Birth Certificate on File of Obama being born in Kenya is genuine! It will be the basis for America to take Obama out of office (hopefully, peacefully) and get our country back on the gifted and right track towards our Founding Fathers Constitutional Republic and the intentions and basis for our nation - Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

"One Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Our Gangster Government

I have been busy commenting on another blog today. Therefore, I thought that I would make my latest blog post about those comments.

As many of the blogs in my sidebar are reporting there has been a small victory in one of the Obama ineligibility cases.

I have been commenting at the Citizen Wells blog, mainly in the following two threads:

Miami Herald, Macon ledger-enquirer, Obama not a natural born citizen, Soldier: Obama not U.S. born, can’t send me to Afghanistan

My comment there:

Christinewjc // July 14, 2009 at 11:20 am

I may end up having a view that’s in the minority here, but I don’t agree that we should “keep this development under wraps” for fear that the ObamaFRAUD & cohorts will burst this balloon of progress. Remember Alinsky’s rules for radicals? Their job is to intimidate, debase, criticize, mock , cast fear, threaten – even with death and (add your own description here) in order to silence us all.

Think about the people (including Orly) who have been out there working hard to expose the usurper. These people are far to well known to have anything happen to them by the Obot thugs and not have raised much suspicion their way.

Yes. The “powers that be” may have already (allegedly) committed murders (e.g. Donald Young and several others) but they were done against people who were not well known at the time. We shouldn’t let the “fear” stop us from shouting from the rooftops about this issue! As Jacqlyn stated here, there are other cases that may well end up being successful at finally getting the usurper out of office.

The lawyers need to be careful about what they reveal – and what they should not reveal at this time. Hopefully all that are currently involved in cases against the fraud will not reveal their cards too soon…so to speak. I think that most are intelligent enough not to do anything that would inadvertently sabotage their own case(s).

As more and more Americans are becoming increasingly aware of the facts surrounding Obama’s ineligibility, they are realizing that there is good reason to doubt that Obama was Constitutionally eligible in the first place. The more people who come on board the “eject the usurper” train, the better it will be for our nation when the verdict comes down.

Think about how many more millions of people would have likely rioted if Obama was found guilty of being ineligible for POTUS and taken out of office just a few months after the inauguration. All hell would have broken loose!

Today, many hundreds of thousands of people WANT to know the answer to this question :

“During the election, then Senator Obama published a statement at his website which said that his birth status was “governed” by the British Nationality Act of 1948. Can you please tell the American people how a natural born citizen of the United States can be governed – at birth – by British law?”

They have also regretted their votes for him as they witness his continuing efforts to destroy our Constitutional Republic with his awful errors and terrible policies – including his Marxist/pro-Islam/terrorist releasing/bankrupting America/job losing/unconstitutional czar appointing/tax cheat Geithner appointing/ business destroying/anti-captitalism actions/ bank takeovers/car industry takeovers/the Crap and trade bill/ the Obama Hellcare/ the Stimulus bill that was a total bomb and went to cronies like ACORN/the Gitmo closing fiasco/the horror of the families of the U.S.S. Cole bombing victims when he halted the terrorists trial/….and the list goes on and on.

I have been posting about Obama for over a year at my blog- warning people about the dangers of this man. Sometimes, it’s necessary for people to see with their own eyes that a person IS dangerous, before they will believe us.

I have been praying for Obama’s removal since day one. It is hard to be patient. However, God’s timing is always perfect. He sees the future – we don’t. We can only surmise what may happen. I pray that Obama’s removal will be a peaceful transition – because the majority of Americans (except that 20% who will ALWAYS support Obama – no matter what crimes he would be found guilty of) see it as a necessary thing.

Just some of my opinions and views on the matter at hand.

In this comment thread, I was replying to Ms. Helga who wrote:

I am listening to Sean Hannity on the radio and he keeps saying that Drudge has a story on about some real estate plan that the gov. has that blah,blah,blah. You know what he is doing? He is afraid to say there is the story about Orly and the serviceman case against the usurper. He is still afraid of being called a Right Wing Nut instead of being called a Patriot. Oh well, he is trying to guide the unknowing into the fold.

I also replied to what Katie said:

Katie // July 14, 2009 at 3:01 pm

Anybody counted 60 days from July 13th yet?

It’s September 11th.

My response:

Christinewjc // July 14, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Ms. Helga -

I could be mistaken about this, but it is my understanding (from others who have told this to me) that Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, and other Fox News ANALYSIS pundits are prohibited from mentioning the Obama ineligibility issue. Why? Because of that Saudi billionaire that owns 7% (?) of the Fox News Channel stock.

If you notice, Glenn often does not blame Obama (directly, or only) for the mess we are in today. Glenn “spreads the blame around” and even encouraged protesters at the TEA Parties on April 15th not to “make it about Obama” or only blame Democrats.

One day during his radio show, I heard Beck claim that when he is able to, he will share more than he can share right now about what is really happening in America. I think this has to do with him keeping his job at Fox. If he was fired, then we wouldn’t be able to get the important information that he is sharing every day about our out-of-control government. The investigations that he does about it are very educational – and what I heard on the radio show today was quite astounding.

Remember how MSNBC mocked the “birthers” on several of their leftie pundit shows? They are trying to make the issue sound like a ridiculous conspiracy theory that is just a “rumor” going around the Internet via “right-wing nuts.”

Also, notice that Savage and Limbaugh have spoken about the COLB issue. They don’t have T.V. shows and so are more free to do that. I think I recall Mark Levin speaking about Obama’s BC on his radio show too.

Today, I did a search to see if Jon Voight has a blog. Couldn’t find one. I’m sure that he is aware of the ineligibility issue, but when he is interviewed on Fox he is (probably) forewarned not to discuss that. Does anyone know more about Voight’s stance on the issue?

Many pundits who agree with us may not think that anything can (or will) be done about this. I hope and pray that they are wrong!

I went on a couple other blogs today to read comments. Some are very suspicious that Orly got her hearing. They think that the Obots are about to present a forged COLB that will look so real that it will shut everyone up about the issue.

People are nervous about this issue and we all hope to God that ObamaFRAUD ultimately gets exposed and this usurper doesn’t get away with his flagrant treasonous actions against our country!

Also – notice that Brett Baier only reports the “straight news.” He doesn’t do any commentary about it. Did he bring it up with the panel of “all-stars” (as they call it) at the end of the show?

The naysayers on this issue will continue to pooh-pooh the evidence. The patriots will continue to expose the usurper. The lawyers will continue to bring their cases and all we need is for ONE to succeed.

Katie -

When you wrote this:

Anybody counted 60 days from July 13th yet?

It’s September 11th.

It sent chills down my spine! Coincidence? Only each individual can decide when we see the outcome of the case on that day.

A neighbor of mine (Christian) once told me that there appears to be a huge demonic spirit hanging over Washington D.C. As I thought about that comment, it seemed to me that the deception is so real upon those who would hold to Obama’s agenda. It is only those who “have eyes to see and ears to hear” what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches (meaning all believers in Christ) who were NEVER deceived about this issue in the first place. Sharing this information with all people (no matter what religion/faith etc.) is the duty of Christians everywhere. People are waking up to the TRUTH each and every day. The “scales are falling from their eyes” and they are realizing that we need to DO SOMETHING or we will lose our freedoms and Constitutional Republic.

I thank God for all the people (like Citizen Wells) who have been up close and in the center of this issue from the start. I’m certain that each and every patriot is being ridiculed and disparaged for their beliefs and work to expose Obama’s deception and lies. But we all need to consider it good works to help save this Republic.

Keep on talking, fellow patriots!! God is on the side of truth! One day, the truth will be made known. I just pray that it will be sooner, rather than later!

After I posted that comment I noticed that some news shows are reporting on the two cases:

You beat me to the punch…lol

Yes, Bret even mentioned Taitz lawsuit in Georgia as well.

I just here’d Fox report the Soldier Obama Eligibility lawsuit!!

OMG I almost fell out of my seat-LOL
The South // July 14, 2009 at 6:34 pm

I meant to say,

Bret even mentioned the California case yesterday, and said a judge has agreed to hear the case on it’s merits.

Glad to see FOX saying something about it anyway!

This is certainly good news that the media blackout seems to be lifting...albeit very slowly.

There is a not-to-be-missed video where Congresswoman Michele Bachmann exposes the current government take-overs as a "Gangster Government."


Here's a very poignant comment over at the Youtube site:

ls4vols (1 hour ago) This is only the beginning of what this country is facing. Gangster government - AMEN!! Hopefully those citizens out there who have half a brain, & who can think beyond their own specific needs will see what is happening to this country & stand up, be counted & boot out these radical, dishonest, hidden agenda types who are in it for themselves. Speaker Pelosi, Obama, Harry Reid, Barney Frank - all of them are crooks who are in it for themselves - no honor among thieves! GO SAVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!

Lastly, there is a very long essay that I will be reading soon. I have already mentioned some details about these groups here at my blog. This paper should give us all quite an education about them.

I thought that I would share it here so that readers can see the powerful characters that are behind the destructive policies that are being forced upon our nation through this current gangster government. Our current struggles for our freedoms and our beloved Constitutional Republic are at stake! Please become active in sharing this information so that more and more people will become aware!!
