Stunning: California Couple Says They Were Asked to House Immigrant Children

July 08, 2014

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: This is Ann and Ed in Southern California. Welcome. It’s great to have you on the phone. Hello.

ANN: Hello.

RUSH: Hi.

ANN: Hi, Rush. How are you?

RUSH: Just fine. Thank you very much.

ANN: Great. Well, we have some interesting news. My husband Eddie is on the phone with us. We live in Southern California, and we’re Catholic, active Catholics in our community, and there was a town hall meeting last evening, emergency meeting called by our local parish priest, ordered by our bishop (unintelligible) and the Archdiocese of San Bernardino. They have made the decision that they’re going to absorb the immigrants that are coming through because the federal government called the bishop’s office on Monday and they’re gonna be busing these immigrants to our communities and asking us to open our homes and to house them for up to a month. The church will reimburse us for any out-of-pocket expenses and we were told not to talk to anybody about it, especially the media. I’m not especially happy about it. My husband is a retired doctor, and he will share his concerns with you regarding this matter. Eddie, do you want to go ahead and talk about your thoughts?

EDDIE: Longtime listener, Rush. Thanks —

RUSH: Thank you, Eddie.

EDDIE: I’m very concerned about the health care crisis that we’re facing and these illegal aliens that are coming into the United States. Doctors are being asked not to talk to the media, they’re on gag orders, both doctors and nurses, and we got a big problem because there are a lot of diseases that can come through this border bringing all kinds of stuff —

RUSH: Eddie, I just read that in some cases the lice are so bad you can see them crawling down the faces of some of the kids.

ANN: Yeah, the lice won’t kill you, but Ebola will, and so will gonorrhea and there’s syphilis and AIDS and hepatitis and diphtheria and polio, meningitis, and this new coronavirus coming in from the Middle East, so —

RUSH: Hang on. I gotta take a break. Hold your thought and we’ll continue after the break.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: We rejoin Ann and her retired doctor husband, Eddie, on the phone jointly, together with us from Southern California. Eddie, could you put Ann back to the phone or is she on with you?

ANN: Yes. Hi. I’m here with you.

RUSH: Okay, Eddie, I’ll come back to you in just a second, but, Ann, I want to clarify. Did you say that it is the Catholic Church that the government called and asked for assistance?

ANN: Yes.

RUSH: Okay. And then the Catholic Church accepted and said, "Okay, we will," at least the Catholic Church in your town. You haven’t identified where you’re from.

ANN: Yes.

RUSH: And then the bishop has asked you and the other parishioners to help pay for this, but you are not supposed to tell anybody this, which you’ve just done.

ANN: Yes. That’s what they asked us, not to get the media involved. The diocese will reimburse us for any out-of-pocket expenses.

RUSH: Now, wait. Because you’re gonna be asked to house some of them yourself?

ANN: Yes.

RUSH: Are you going to?

ANN: No. That’s why I’m calling. I’m letting people know this is not in the best interests. We have a FEMA — at Norton Air Force Base is a designated FEMA camp. This is an emergency. They need to go there.

RUSH: You know, that just frosts me. This whole thing, Air Force Bases, military bases are being turned into day care centers here. But that’s another thing. I don’t mean to distract you.

ANN: Yeah.

RUSH: Why did they tell you not to tell the media about this?

ANN: They don’t want a lot of people there at the churches when they busload these mothers and children.

RUSH: A-ha. Why do you think the Catholic Church accepted this?

ANN: We’re sympathetic and we want to help, but this is not always the best way to help. And the government created the problem; they should fix the problem.

RUSH: Exactly. Why do you think that your local Catholic Church is helping Obama and the government do this? I mean, this administration has targeted the Catholic Church.

ANN: I don’t know. I called the diocese in my community and made a request, and so they had a town hall meeting, emergency meeting last evening with a hundred people in attendance. I would say 70% of the people are on board. I’m on board in theory. And my husband, Eddie, can share his thoughts about the reaction far more articulate than I can, so I’ll let you express to Rush your thoughts.

EDDIE: Well, I just brought up the diseases that are coming through and the lack of screening that’s going on, Rush. I mean, we’ve got FEMA facilities that can provide medical care, housing, nutrition and clothing, safety and transportation and stabilize the situation so that these people can be reintegrated or be dealt with, but to put us and subject us to health care —

ANN: Risk.

EDDIE: — problems, risk, whatever you want to call it, seems to be an incompetence on behalf of the government when they themselves, these different agencies are not talking to each other. FEMA’s not talking to Homeland Security, and Homeland Security isn’t talking to the other agencies. To me there’s just a lack of coordination that’s going on between these bureaucrat, enormously bureaucrat institutions.

RUSH: Eddie, look. You have to forgive me here. I think I’m on a different wavelength. And I don’t mean this question to be rude. But would this all be okay with you if there were more coordination?

EDDIE: No. But they’re coming in and we have to deal with this. We can’t — I mean, as Americans we can’t stop it.

RUSH: Well, see, that’s the nub of it. So they’ve got you.

EDDIE: Yeah.

RUSH: "They’re coming in; we’ve got to deal with it." Okay, so they’ve won. It doesn’t matter what’s happened after they get in. Once they have coerced everybody into thinking that what they have to do is make it okay after they get here, there’s never gonna be an end to it.

EDDIE: That’s the big concern. They told us that this was gonna last for 30 days, but many of us are scratching our head going, "Thirty days? I just can’t believe that’s gonna be cast in concrete." We know that it’s gonna go beyond 30 days, and it’s gonna go on and grow and grow and grow, unless this stops.

RUSH: Well, it isn’t gonna stop, because the government doesn’t want it to stop.

EDDIE: Exactly.

RUSH: There’s no effort to make it stop. There’s a lot of lip service in that direction. It’s understandable that when churches are called upon to be charitable, that they would do it. That’s actually a mart move on the part of the Regime. Not gonna have too many churches say "no" to a request for charity, but then they are turning around and asking parishioners to temporarily house some of these people, and you pay for it on the promise that you’ll be reimbursed.

EDDIE: Especially when there’s a FEMA facility literally 10 miles away. And it really bothers me when doctors and nurses are on gag orders not to talk about the health care risks of these immigrants coming through the border. We have to do this right. We need to protect the American citizens and it’s the duty of the government to do that, and they’re not doing it.

RUSH: Ed, let me remind you of something. The left in this country — and I don’t mean to politicize this, but they do, so let me respond in this way. The left in this country blames the original white European discoverers of this country with bringing in syphilis, racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, environmental destruction. This is in the public school curriculum today. Young people are taught that this is what Christopher Columbus and the Pilgrims and all of the white Europeans who settled in this country and eventually founded it, they brought all this stuff in. So who are you, doctor, to complain about a little disease coming in because this is not the first time it’s happened. That’s what they would say to you if you called a liberal talk show, if you could find one, that’s what the host would say to you.

EDDIE: Yes. Unfortunately we have a health care system that’s bankrupt, that is being destroyed by Mr. Obama. And it can’t take on this burden.

RUSH: Well, it is.

EDDIE: It is.

RUSH: It is taking on this burden.

EDDIE: It is taking on this burden. And Dinesh D’Souza did such a great job in his movie — we saw it this last weekend — talking about how diseases had moved in Europe and with even the Indians, that they died mainly because of viruses and diseases coming in as things got repopulated. It wasn’t because there were soldiers killing Indians. It was literally because they were dying of disease. And we’ve got Ebola, Rush, that has moved from Africa to New Guinea and may be in Europe. What the heck are we going to do if we get an Ebola outbreak in the United States? We’re not prepared for this, and it’s a 90% mortality rate, that virus.

RUSH: Ed, do you really think that’s possible because of this? Do you think an Ebola outbreak is possible because of this or are you being maybe a little exaggerated in your caution here?

EDDIE: Well, I’m concerned, and I feel like the Paul Revere just waving the flag wanting to get us to take a look at this. And there’s a way to solve this with existing facilities that are already in place, that have medical clinics that have the ability to bring nurses and doctors in. Just screen —

ANN: And create jobs for Americans.

EDDIE: Yeah.

RUSH: I don’t believe I’m hearing that.

ANN: What’s that?

RUSH: This is a job creation opportunity?

ANN: Well, I’m just saying, if they open up these FEMA camps to house these illegal immigrants it will create jobs in the community where we live.

RUSH: Uhhh…

ANN: I don’t know.

RUSH: It’s complicated. It is truly complicated. The last thing I ever considered any of this to be was a job creation opportunity, but I thank you for presenting that perspective. In the meantime, you seem resigned to the fact that this has no end and that you have to come up with a way of making this as acceptable or manageable as possible, and it sounds like your primary concern here is that the people attempting to organize this repatriation or patriation of the refugees is not being done right.

ANN: Yes. That is the correct assessment. It was just Monday he got the call from the government. Tuesday we’re meeting, and Tuesday night everyone is saying "yes" and there hasn’t been much time to really think strategically and carefully about the ramifications of saying "yes."

RUSH: Well, speaking of that, I mean, something I meant to ask your husband, Ed. Ed, are you still on the phone? I assume you are.

EDDIE: I am, yes.

RUSH: How can these people, the arrivees, be screened for illnesses and disease in the short time they’re in these processing centers?

EDDIE: You know, we were told that they went through two brief screenings. I don’t know what that entails, but you’ve got a great point. I mean, you can’t really do a thorough job —

RUSH: I don’t believe I’m even asking the question.

EDDIE: — in a McDonald’s type of fashion where you’re just running people through. You’ve got to spend the time doing proper testing to make sure that certain diseases are not coming through the border.

RUSH: Right. But they are. They are coming through —

EDDIE: But they are.

RUSH: — the border, that’s what you just said. Back to you, Ann. What is — I’ve never heard this term, either — what is a FEMA camp?

ANN: It’s federal emergency — what’s the E stand for?

EDDIE: Rush knows what FEMA is.

RUSH: I know what FEMA is, but what is a FEMA camp?

EDDIE: Well, it’s a FEMA facility, they’ve been established throughout the United States —

ANN: There’s like 600 of them, at least.

EDDIE: — in military bases that —

RUSH: So that’s why they’re calling this Obama’s Katrina. I thought this was —

EDDIE: Yeah.

RUSH: — the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

ANN: Correct.

RUSH: Right.

EDDIE: But Rush, isn’t this an emergency? Isn’t this a federal emergency, and shouldn’t FEMA be involved in this?

RUSH: It’s not an emergency. That’s the point. It isn’t an emergency. It is planned.

EDDIE: Yes, I agree. I agree it is planned, and I believe —

RUSH: It’s an emergency for you. It’s an emergency for people who live where you live, but this is not an emergency. This is payback. This is who knows what. This is political. This has a political objective for Obama and the Democrats. Obama’s not treating it as an emergency. Is he down there? They said Bush never flew over, didn’t go down to New Orleans for Katrina. Has Obama been there? Where’s Obama visiting the refugee FEMA camps? He’s not there. What emergency? He’s out raising money for more of this.

EDDIE: This is being done to overwhelm the government. The Cloward and Piven scenario, overwhelm the government, this is just part of his plan.

RUSH: Well, yeah. Yeah. Except it’s overwhelming you. It’s overwhelming the country. The government that results from this is what Obama wants. We were never set up to be able to provide for and handle limitless numbers of people who are unproductive. From everybody’s perspective, yeah, it’s an emergency the way you look at it. It’s an emergency for your neighbors. It’s an emergency for the doctors and everybody that has to deal with this. But it’s not an emergency. This is a number of things, but it’s not an emergency.

I defy anybody to tell me where the government’s treating it as an emergency. It’s an emergency where you are violating a church order by calling me and talking about it? That’s not an emergency. That’s something far worse. I appreciate your bravery. I’m glad you took the time to call. I’m a little long. I’ve gotta take a time-out here. But I’m stunned at what you’ve had to say. I’m also stunned at the attitude that you have about it, not being critical. I don’t mean to be critical. It sounds like you have accepted your fate, and now you’re trying to make the most of it, which I guess is all you can do. But that in itself to me equals victory for them.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: Well, folks, if you had any question… Do you know what’s going on? If you had any uncertainty or any doubt, let me explain it to you after the call from Ann and her husband, Eddie, the retired doctor. The idea here — and this is why I say this is not an emergency. It is for them, but it’s not an government emergency. It’s not an Obama emergency. This is not a problem for Obama and the Democrats.

The idea for them is to get as many people across the border and then transferred where they want them to live in this country as they can, as quickly as possible. That’s why gag orders are being issued. "Don’t talk to anybody in the media and tell ’em about the diseases! Don’t talk and tell ’em about anything to do with these arriving kids, or whoever else is also." It’s not just kids, folks, the 300,000.

These are government numbers: 300,000 since April. It’s not just kids. So it’s clear here, from the Democrat Party standpoint, the idea is to get as many people here across the border and then transferred out all over the rest of the country where they’re going to live, as quickly as possible. FEMA might slow that down. Legitimate health inspections might slow that down. So you process ’em quickly.

You bus ’em, you fly ’em, and you do it before anybody really knows what’s happening. So far, only one little town in California even seems to be trying to stop this, and that’s Murrieta, California. Everywhere else they’re just saying, "What happened?" Well, they’re overwhelmed. They don’t know what to do about it. Think about what a perfect situation this is for the Democrats.

They are getting illegal alien single mothers with dependent children, who are even more certain to vote Democrat — and did you hear Eddie and Ann? They’ve already accepted it. The problem for them is not stopping it. The problem is dealing with it. So it isn’t gonna be long, folks, before this is just going to be accepted as "the new normal," just like 8% unemployment or 12% or whatever, or everybody working part time.

The new normal.

This is what it is.

It’s also highly likely that Obama’s approval numbers in the Hispanic community might be on the rise as a result. So this is not an emergency.

This is mission accomplished.

BREAK TRANSCRIPT

RUSH: You know, look at how the numbers of illegals in this current influx has been quietly ratcheted up. When this first started, we were talking about, eh, a couple of thousand kids, maybe few hundred. Then it became a few thousand, and then it became 30,000, and then it became 50,000. Finally, we heard that there was a memo. We find a memo, a government memo sent in January.

There was a jobs posting. See if you remember this, ’cause we found it. It was a jobs posting memo by the federal government in January where they were looking for transportation and logistics companies to bid on jobs involving the transportation and resettling of 65,000 illegal immigrant children. This was back in January. We either had this news for you last week or the week before.

It was when we found that that we had our suspicions confirmed that this is not just happening, that this is not just some spontaneous invasion. Somebody knew that this was gonna happen, and that they were planning for it, and they were seeking job applicants from transportation-logistics companies to be able to handle the "dispersion," if you will, of these new arrivals. At any rate, that number was 65,000.

Now, over the weekend, the number shot up to 300,000 in the Drive-By Media. A New York Times story just cavalierly mentions that since April, 300,000 illegals have flooded the border. As I sagely pointed out yesterday, that is twice the size of the invasion force at the Normandy beaches on D-Day. The Allied forces had 150,000 soldiers invading Omaha Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Sword Beach, all that, the Normandy Beaches on D-Day.

This is 300,000, and it’s just in there in a Sunday story in the New York Times. As far as I know, only one tiny town in California even seems to be trying to stop it. That would be Murrieta, California. It seems that this circumstance is just being accepted, in the sense that there may be some people who are protesting to stop it, but it’s gone beyond that point now. The idea of stopping it doesn’t even seem to be a realistic expectation.

Everybody now is focused on, "Okay, what do we do with these people?" Look, I understand you just can’t ignore them and leave them to the wolves. Don’t misunderstand. But I don’t get the acceptance. I don’t get the idea that there’s no end to this. I understand what Obama’s doing. He’s trying to get Hispanic numbers up; he’s trying to put pressure on Republicans to vote for amnesty before the November elections.

I understand all of that.

I understand the politics of it.

On one side, I have a tough time coming to grips with the idea that there’s nothing that can be done. That’s just me. I admit, folks, I may be on a different wavelength than all these people. I think even if I lived where this were happening, my first question would be, "When is this gonna stop?" But maybe you don’t have time to ask that question when you’re surrounded by it.

Maybe there are other concerns that take precedence, which is probably part of the plan.

Will a Military Coup fix America?

I personally just don’t see a military coup in the United States as an option.  But is my view of the world the same as others’ beliefs?  Probably not.  When it comes right down to it, with my vast amount of time as a military man, from my point of view, I can’t say that absolutely, definitely a coup could or would take place.  The truth is, in MY time, no such thing could have or would have happened.  But other factors are in play here that I would never have considered myself – but others might.

The Spanish have a long and storied history for coups – in fact, Mexicans and most Previously-ruled-by-Spain Central and South American countries follow suit.  When the people get mad, they start a war.  Someone winds up on top in the end, usually the existing military and a strong leader (regardless of his moral and ethically leanings).  Most south and central American countries are what we consider “banana republics”.

Is America becoming a Banana Republic?

Let us look:

A Banana republic is a pejorative term for a country with a kleptocratic government, often with a primitive economy and sometimes a puppet state of a major power.

The more proper definition being: Banana republic is a political science term for a politically unstable country whose economy is largely dependent on the export of a single limited-resource product, such as bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy that comprises the elites of business, politics, and the military. This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions and thereby exploits the country’s economy. (Wikipedia)

kleptocracy: Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, (from Greek: κλέπτης – kleptēs, “thief” and κράτος – kratos, “power, rule”, hence “rule by thieves”) is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often without pretense of honest service. This type of government corruption is often achieved by the embezzlement of state funds.

plutocracy: Rule by the wealthy. We’re technically not being ruled by the wealthy, but then again we are. Rich lawyers are elected thus rich lawyers are in charge of most of the government’s various sectors. Companies lobby for power in the government (and I have no trouble with open markets).

So this author’s guess is that  ARE a Banana Republic, or more accurately rapidly degenerating into a Banana Republic. We still have a Constitutional Republic and most of us KNOW this and MOST of us wouldn’t do anything against “the government” in the military. Whether some rogue officer would start something, I just don’t know – but I just can’t SEE it happening.

On the other hand…

1) Morals are in decline.
2) America is in decline.
3) Money is becoming worthless.
4) The economy is tanking.
5) Things are not worth what they once were.
6) People are in “gimme gimme” mode.
7) The President himself is working to divide people of this country.
8) The Left is fighting the Right on guns and every other thing you can imagine.
9) Detroit is the first major city to have fallen.
10) Other cities won’t be far behind.
11) Obamacare will destroy what’s left of the economy.
12) Oil and Coal are verboten.
13) Scandal after scandal has rocked DC and those are being called “phony”.
14) More people are on government help than are working now.
15) Political corruption
16) Government corruption
17) borders are uncontrolled, the “barbarian hordes” are coming through daily, by the thousands
18) the government coffers are being sucked dry by “entitlements” and the government keeps wanting more from the working people, the “rich” and corporations.

Rome fell for the many of the same reasons; moral decline, political corruption, “barbarian knowledge of Roman tactics” (think about that for a moment), a failing economy, unemployment of the working “class”, decline in ethics and values, natural disasters, barbarian invasion (Hmmmm…. border security?), military decay (not being trained right, and reduction in forces), and many other reasons.

So could a military coup take America back?  I can not answer that question but I can certainly suggest that this country is in a condition which will facilitate such a thing happening.  But will some military officer be able to gain enough power to lead enough American men, who are independent thinkers, into such a one way path?  I seriously doubt it will happen.  I don’t doubt the fall of America is upon us.

America on the Abyss

On July 4th, tomorrow, America celebrates it’s Independence from Britain but we stand on the verge of destruction of this very country we all love.  From within.  From our own, overbearing, overreaching government.

There is not a Patriotic American within the sound of my voice, or with in reach of my writing who will not agree that this country is the Greatest Country that has ever existed, and almost every, single one of them, myself included would or have been willing to stand up to keep this country great.  Every one of us will fight to protect our country if it were invaded.  Every one of us has an opinion about how it should be run.  Almost none of us stand together on one, simple act – defiance of what is happening to us right now in this country.  Some shrug their shoulders and move on, some ignore the problem completely, some of us loudly, vocally proclaim the wrongs done but can’t fix it alone.

Unfortunately for Americans we are in the midst of what I called “The Throes of Progressive Tyranny”.  A few years ago I created a forum on our TAA web site to track the progress of Progressiveness and the Progressive Tyranny that is haunting this country, from the most basic precepts of “Political Correctness” to Nationalization of the Health Care system and everything in between.

On 20 January 2009, Barack Hussein Obama was innagurated as the 44th President, running on a platform of “Hope and Change”, talking about “Fundemental Change” in America.  Most of us saw this man then for what we now know he is.

On 14 December 2012, Adam Lanza is believed to have walked into a school (without any assistance) to shoot and kill twenty small children, babies really, and six adults.  Before that he killed his mother in cold blood while she was sleeping, took guys, put on military style armor and went to the school.  Immediately there were calls to ban guns.   Most of us saw this coming the moment we were learning children had died.

Obamacare, the so-called “Affordable Health Care Act” was “passed before we get to see what’s in it”…. Congress created, then opened Pandora’s Box.  (For the uneducated, who don’t know the story of Pandora, I’ll leave it to you to look it up….).  Everyone in the United States, no matter how naive they pretend to be grasped the ramifications of Nationalization of the Medical Care in America.

Then the media started breaking scandal after scandal.  Everything from “Project Gun Walker” to the NSA leaker Snowden letting the world know Americans were being spied upon by their own government.  The Justice Department investigating journalists as “terrorists”, spying on them, and entire news organizations, to lying through their teeth to cover their asses.

There is so much more that has gone against our very way of life, to coin a phrase, truth, justice and the American Way.  So much for Superman, huh?

Americans are just DAMNED sick and tired of being lied to.  They are damned tired of the Government getting into their business.  One could certainly compare 1775 and events leading up the American Revolutionary War with today.  In fact, one COULD sit and start writing down all of the abuses by this government against the people, starting with the very idea the government seems to have forgotten their place; that is that they work for us, we don’t belong to them.  Most of us are simply too lazy though to do ANYTHING about it.

Indeed this country stands on an abyss.  Tomorrow we celebrate, but who knows what happens next Monday?  I don’t.  Perhaps nothing will change, just status quo.  Sheep getting up and going to work, working their lives away to pay our debt to our great grandchildren.

Obama and his administration have certainly accomplished their “fundamental change” haven’t they?  Americas are about to be shepherded by the IRS to ensure they pay for their own health care.  We’ve had states ban our guns.  We’ve had police forces become military-strong.  We’ve been told where to go, when to go, how to go and by the way, don’t use Gas, Oil, Coal or any of that nasty carbon-producing-stuff that kills things.  Oh and if you don’t mind, just die you human because you eat, and excrete and make it bad for “Mother Gaia”.

The Abyss is… step up and stop the crimes against this country, or stand down and be a sheep.  Sheep eventually are sheared, and many are just led to slaughter.

Which will you stand up and be, sheep or Patriot?

 

Is America in a Pre-Revolutionary State this July 4th?

July 2nd, 2013 – 12:23 am

As we approach July 4, 2013, is America in a pre-revolutionary state? Are we headed for a Tahrir Square of our own with the attendant mammoth social turmoil, possibly even violence.

 Could it happen here?

We are two-thirds of the way into the most incompetent presidency in our history. People everywhere are fed up. Even many of the so-called liberals who propelled Barack Obama into office have stopped defending him in the face of an unprecedented number of scandals coming at us one after the other like hideous monsters in some non-stop computer game.

And now looming is the monster of monsters, ObamaCare, the healthcare reform almost no one wanted and fewer understood.

It will be administered by the Internal Revenue Service, an organization that has been revealed to be a kind of post-modern American Gestapo, asking not just to examine our accounting books but the books we read. What could be more totalitarian than that?

Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal warns the costs of ObamaCare are close to tripling what were promised, and the number of doctors in our country is rapidly diminishing. No more “My son, the doctor!” It doesn’t pay.

And young people most of all will not be able to afford escalating health insurance costs and will end up paying the fine to the IRS, simultaneously bankrupting the health system and enhancing the brutal power of the IRS — all this while unemployment numbers remain near historical highs.

In the past few months – to a year – We’ve had a dozen “scandals” coming out of Washington.  Here’s a list of them that have been compiled by various sources.

 Benghazi (Four Americans killed by Terrorists and the Government pretended it was over a movie)

GSA (remember Hot Tub man? The General Services Administration in 2010 held an $823,000 training conference in Las Vegas, featuring a clown and a mind readers. Resulted in the resignation of the GSA administrator.)

IRS (Targeting Tea Party members and organizations,  the IRS enjoyed outrageous conventions that included “line dancing” video, luxury suites ($3,500))

NSA (Spying on America, snooping on “We the People” instead of terrorists)

FBI (doesn’t know who is investigating the IRS)

EPA (gave names, addresses and email addresses of farmers to liberal groups)

Justice Department (Watching the AP and other news agencies

Justice Department and Rosengate – JD suggested that Fox News reporter James Rosen is a criminal for reporting about classified information and subsequently monitored his phones and emails.

Eric Holder (Perjury)

ATF (Fast and Furious, project Gun Walker, the ATF allowed weapons from the U.S. to “walk” across the border into the hands of Mexican drug dealers. The ATF lost track of hundreds of firearms, many of which were used in crimes, including the December 2010 killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.)

EPA (Former EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson used the name “Richard Windsor” when corresponding by email with other government officials, drawing charges she was trying to evade scrutiny.)

Black Panthers (The Justice Department was accused of using a racial double standard in failing to pursue a voter intimidation case against Black Panthers who appeared to be menacing voters at a polling place in 2008 in Philadelphia.)

HHS (HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius solicited donations from companies HHS might regulate. The money would be used to help her sign up uninsured Americans for ObamaCare.)

HHS (Also, Sebelius violated the Hatch Act: A U.S. special counsel has determined that Sebelius violated the Hatch Act when she made “extemporaneous partisan remarks” during a speech in her official capacity last year. During the remarks, Sebelius called for the election of the Democratic candidate for governor of North Carolina.)

Solyndra: Republicans charged the Obama administration funded and promoted its poster boy for green energy despite warning signs the company was headed for bankruptcy. The administration also allegedly pressed Solyndra to delay layoff announcements until after the 2010 midterm elections.

Obama (“I’ll pass my own laws”…making end runs around Congress on everything from Global Warming to Gun Control)

Obama most likely violated the law of the land, the Constitution and the spirit of the War Powers Resolution by attacking Libya without Congressional approval.

Former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to probe whether former Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) would accept a prominent, unpaid White House advisory position in exchange for dropping out of the 2010 primary against former Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).

The administration paid millions to the former firm of then-White House adviser David Axelrod, AKPD Message and Media, to promote passage of Obamacare. Some questioned whether the firm was hired to help pay Axelrod $2 million AKPD owed him.

Vice President Biden’s office has repeatedly interfered with coverage, including forcing a reporter to wait in a closet, making a reporter delete photos, and editing pool reports.

The Pigford Scandal — An Agriculture Department effort that started as an attempt to compensate black farmers who had been discriminated against by the agency but evolved into a gravy train delivering several billion dollars in cash to thousands of additional minority and female farmers who probably didn’t face discrimination.

Anti-Gun forces including Congress people all the way up to the President and down to Mayor’s of cities have acted to destroy the Second Amendment. 

Other forces are acting to destroy our First, Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights – among others.  In fact there appears to be a concerted effort on the part of many of these former hippies to completely destroy the Constitution; they try hard to make us believe it is a “Living Document” to be changed at the whim of a loud mouthed minority, or a simple majority.

Throughout all of this it appears many Americans have held their tongues and resisted the urge to “get mad”, worse, many are as clueless today about most of these scandals as they day they were born naked into this world.

In my past “life” I helped run a forum and web site that was concerned with things like UFOs, Bigfoot, Conspiracies and similar things.  In my ten years on that site I was the “Target” of many of the posters because I tended to rip apart their ideas as nonsense and would factually back up my arguments against their “supposed facts”.  It isn’t difficult to take apart Conspiracy Theory when there are indeed facts to back up your own side and the Conspiracy Theory is based solely upon “feels”, “belief”, disconnected and interconnected true facts that are actually unrelated by anything other than “that sounds like [it should go there] in the puzzle”.

So for me to read my own list above and then grasp that this country is headed down a path it is being DIRECTED down is hard for me to say, or even believe myself.  As a Patriot (A real one, one who has fought in battle, one who spent many years in the military, one who has taken his oath of office to the military to protect and defend the Constitution SERIOUSLY, one who has studied American History, lived through and “fought in” the Cold War and was raised by a Father and Mother who were both Democrats to “Do the Right Thing”) it is very difficult for me to come to the conclusions I have finally reached in my 50+ years of life.

As you can see, I am about as anti-conspiracy theory as one can be.  But in this case, given this administration, and reading the rotten and terrible things that are going on in the scandals coming out of DC, I can’t help but SEE some Conspiracies in action here.

The Federal Reserve banking system has been manipulating the market for years. Why? To keep the dollar “strong”? I just don’t know. I’m not an economist and hated stats, economics (micro and macro) and accounting in college. HATED it. I don’t really “grasp” it the way professors wanted me to. I DO “get it” on a personal basis and can see a short term change coming. Dunno why.

But the rest of the crap going on, the NSA, the Justice Department, the refusal of IRS leaders to correct or even admit how wrong things are is a tick mark against the current administration.

In fact, at this point I believe these agencies, directly controlled by “minions” of the current President are actively working to destroy America all at once. One, big, serious crash.

One day, the Markets will plummet, the price of houses goes up, the ability to own one goes down, the family farms are taken by the government, rural people forced to move to the cities by armed agents of the government. Food prices climb, welfare suddenly stops. Riots begin. Guns start getting confiscated by jack booted thugs.

America becomes a totalitarian state, “for your own good”.

Those who refuse to comply are shot, re-educated or “disappeared”.

The truth is, I don’t see anything “good” coming down the pike unless we reverse this trend.

I’m just one, tiny voice out here in the dark. I don’t have all the answers, but I have more questions than can be answered. I can only go with the flow and hope Americans are mostly like me and will stand up and fight if we must.

Is the United States of America doomed now to fall through no fault of the People of this country, but rather through the fault of a corrupted, screwed up, wrong-headed Government full of Progressives, Communists and Socialists?  I think it is.  Of course, true Americans will come together eventually to prevent this from occurring.  We hope.  We the People however are still “In Charge”.  We’d better start acting like it, and soon.

In the mean time, I will do what I must to protect my wife and myself from total and complete destruction.  My children are all adults and can make their own decisions now, but the majority of them stand with me.

To my Patriot Friends

Your blogs are monitored.  Your phone records are being gone through.  Data from your computer goes through an ISP and is vacuumed up by “No Such Agency”, collected, collated, stored and kept on ice for at least five years hence.  Anything you write, every site you visit, every blog you read or post you make is subjected to reading – even if it isn’t really “read” by a person it is there “just in case”.

The Fourth Amendment states clearly what your rights are.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

To be clear, your “papers” in the form of “data” or “metadata” have been searched, seized, violated and kept.  No warrants were issued.  No “Oath of Affirmation” by those whom consider you “suspect” was given.  No Judge consulted.  Your home was invaded.  You phone “tapped” – perhaps not in the conventional sense where a human listens in, but your phone calls were logged, collected and linked to those numbers you called, and those who called you.

Trust is sometimes a difficult thing to grasp, and nearly impossible to retrieve once lost.  The NSA, an arm of the US Intelligence community is there for a reason; their job is collect data on our adversaries, not on our own people.  This Agency is being abused by the US Government, plain and simple.  The Justice Department is corrupt.  The Internal Revenue System is corrupt.  Congress is remiss.  The President is culpable in breaking all the laws of our Constitution.

Do YOU trust your information to the US Government?  Do you trust your health to the IRS?  Do you trust your Freedom to this President?  Do you trust your life in the hands of the Justice Department?

Pens, paper, hand-carried messages, whispered conversations, coded communications.

Survivalists out here in the real world KNOW that counting on technology is probably a cool thing to do, but not always is it practical.  When the power goes out (and it will) you can’t count on your electric motors, vehicles, phones, radios and such.  You can’t always depend on technological marvels no matter how small.  Remember this; pen and paper can’t be data mined unless it it taken into custody.  Whispered conversations to those near you are rarely listened in on.  Turning off your cell phone is not a promise of security, but removing the battery is.  Posting something on a computer is kept for years; perhaps forever for all we know.Survivalists do understand this world, they do things in a simpler way for a reason.

Perhaps we should all consider “simple is safer”….

 

A Safer, Freer America

Do you feel “safe” today?

Do you believe that the government is protecting you by vacuuming up every piece of data on you they can?

Do you honestly believe that stopping a terrorist attack requires we give up all our privacy?

Or

Are you an American, like most of us, who’ve never broken a law unless perhaps it was a traffic ticket, you have no intention of robbing a bank, blowing up a bomb in a crowded marathon, mall or airport, and you’ve never contemplated walking into your world place or movie theater with the “infamous” Bushmaster AR15 with body armor, gas mask and shoot up the place and random people?

When it comes right down to it, the laws of this country simply DO NOT trump the Constitution.  Period.  End of statement.

And yet our Congress, the last few Presidents (Obama, Bush, Clinton) have demonstrated they don’t really care about that old piece of paper.  Of course the Leftists in this country will tell you that it’s a “Living Document”, subject to change.

The 4th Amendment is clear as crystal:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

We are the people.  We have the right to be secure in our persons (and carrying a cellphone on our person), and houses (and our computers in our houses) and papers (and the data which isn’t written down but exists as fleeting bits and bytes in a data stream, hard drive, thumb drive, cloud or zipping along fibers) and unreasonable search and seizure (meaning we have committed no crime, thus it is UNREASONABLE to probe our data, search it, collect it aka seize it).

No warrants have been issues.  And according to the fourth amendment they SHALL NOT issues but upon probable cause.

If you’re not a criminal or suspected to be a criminal you should not be subjected to any of the above without a warrant.

Let me say this again…. IF you are NOT a criminal or SUSPECTED to be a criminal you should not be subjected to any of the above without a warrant.

Americans, essentially ALL of us, have 1) been subjected to the above CRIMES by the Government, 2) without a swore Warrant, 3) Our data searched (examined), seized (collected) and stored without our permission so that JUST IN CASE, you know in the future perhaps-maybe that data can be gone through again later and in more detail, just in case, you know, you think you might want to do something.

The collection of metadata means “Data about data”, that’s the way we network security people, system administrators and security engineers view it.  It means that pointers to other data are collected.  Those pointers of course are phone numbers you are using, calling and times you’re online talking to that other number.  It means a list of links you visit, your geolocation information, your likes and dislikes all associated with you.

A good detective doesn’t need to know WHAT you said on the telephone if he knows to whom you spoke for thirty minutes this morning on the way to work.  A great detective can make inferences with great accuracy about your conversation.  In a court of law this is called “Circumstantial evidence”.

A government agency like the National Security Agency (NSA) has tools and young computer gurus (not unlike myself many years ago) who can examine data, put a few pieces together and determine a lot about a person.

They didn’t stop Sandy Hook, they didn’t stop 9-11, they didn’t stop Boston, they didn’t stop numerous other small terrorists attacks in this country (which they won’t even CALL terrorism).  They’ve stopped only what they wanted to stop.  (Never let a crisis go to waste you know!)

If every person in the United States isn’t upset about this you might fit the first three questions originally asked and might be comfortable with the government literally spying on everything you do online, on the phone or even clicking on the buttons of your microwave.  You might think you’re safe from terrorists.  You might believe that you’re safe and the government is “protecting” you.

What if this is all benign and no one has any intention of using the data collected against you today or tomorrow.  But what about after the next election?  What about next Thursday?  What IF some “government official” somewhere with access to this stuff decides to start using this data to root out enemies of the State?

Once, when I was still a child we all knew that our society existed to raise children to be considerate of others, to know that each thing we did to improve ourselves in turn, improved society.  Today Society seems to exist only to further the goals of a collective hive mind, to think alike, to act alike, to dress alike, to live in a Socialist Utopia.  That indeed seems to be the ultimate goal of not only “Society” as a whole (with a few individual exceptions, usually those reading these blogs) but to force all of us to act alike (including us “individuals”).

Targeting and auditing”Tea Party” and “Conservative” groups into oblivion, if that isn’t tyranny I don’t know what is.  Trying to limit, take and ban our guns, that’s tyranny.  Spying on us, that’s tyranny.  Going after journalists (against the 1st amendment), that’s tyranny.  Lying to us time and again about Benghazi, about everything they can lie about, that, my friends is tyranny.  Forcing religion on us (Islam), that’s TYRANNY.  Forcing Political Correctness on us, that’s tyranny.  Attacking us for having our say, that’s tyranny.  Passing state laws in the face of a majority of people who don’t want the law, that is absolute tyranny.  Telling Americans “its for your own good” – that’s tyranny.

At what cost do we continue this charade?

I’ll tell you the cost.  The cost is  ultimately our Freedoms and the fall of the United States as a Great Republic.

If we continue on the path which wends through Society today and into the future, in less than One Hundred Years the one great America will be nothing more than a memory for our great-great Grand Children.  In less than another decade we will have lost and we will be erased from the face of the world.  Our

We must stop this drive to defeat America from within.

If you want a Safer, Freer America then it is time to wake up, get off your asses and accept personal responsibilty for yourselves, your families and your GOVERNMENT.  We must insist, demand that the current elected Representatives stop the madness and get back to the bottom line of running this country.  That doesn’t mean making NEW laws, it means throwing out the old, bad laws, enforcing the correct laws and stopping snooping on our own people.  It means SHUTTING the border TONIGHT.  We don’t need “immigration reform”, we need “Government Reform”.

There is nothing wrong with immigration laws as they are, they simply need to be enforced.  We need to secure the border.  We need to let people take the normal path to citizenship.  We have no issue with immigration, we have a problem WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

We can’t let the government continue to grow in size, power and money sucking abilities.

We can’t allow the IRS to continue to abuse us.

We must NOT allow the IRS to become our overlords on medical care.  Government death boards are an absolute (see the young lady with the lung transplant problem).

We can’t allow the Department of Justice to continue to abuse us.  By letting them get away with “Fast and Furious” we’ve allowed the death of a young agent to go without justice.  The murderer might have been caught, but why haven’t those who passed those guns out ILLEGALLY I might add been brought to justice?  Arrest them, all the up to Eric Holder if necessary.

We can no longer allow our Department of State to let ambassadors just “die” in foreign service.  Where were the Marines and why was the military stood down?

If you want a Safer, Freer America then you, yes YOU, need to stand up and do something about it.  Run for office, pester the holy hell out of Congressmen and women.  Call the President.  Make your voice heard.  Organize protests (yes, PROTESTS).  Become visible.  Don’t hide in the shadows any longer.

We are AMERICANS. We do not give up.  We do not tolerate losing.  We do not tolerate losers.  Kick those losers out of office and put yourselves IN.

The time has come.

Don’t let up until we win.

And we will, we’re Americans!

Boston Marathon Terrorist Attack update

Doctors in the news conference stated today that ball bearings and nails were being removed in such concentration from wounds that they “could not have been a part of the environment” and were in one doctor’s opinion “were a part of the bomb”.

Ask the Israelis who routinely use nails and ball bearings in bombs….

 

Also… an aircraft was turned around to Logan Airport a short time ago.

BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) – Sources told FOX 25 there was an American Airlines flight that was headed to Chicago. There were two men on that plane – not sitting next to each other – and speaking Arabic.

Boston’s Patriot’s Day Bombings: A Timeline For Reference

Just thought I’d pass this along, thanks Unamused.

Breaking: FNC reporting explosions at Boston Marathon

Latest edit (16:20 ET):  This appears to have been two timed bombs from the videos I’ve watched.  I’m not going to speculate on WHO did this, but I will say this… what the HELL happened to the “Department of Homeland Security” again?  Once again they force all these drastic and idiotic “security measures’ on the public at airports, train stations and even bus stations and yet at an event like this someone let’s a bomb get through?

Seriously?  Time to shut down these damned money sucking agencies that don’t actually do what they claim to do.

Another major failure.  WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR DHS? Why are they trying to TAKE OUR GUNS?

=========================

Appears there were two explosions.
Explosions happened right at 3PM Boston time, so about 29 minutes ago from now.

Confirming, three dead.

Devices were probably placed in barrels.

This is coming from the Boston Police.

More injuries…. Not good.

Edit:  At least 30 injured, 3 dead.  These are probably bombs, because at least one saw an explosion “in an object, probably a trash can”.

Boston Police are requesting all Bomb Squads to report to the finish line.  They believe they have at least one more “device”.

Security stepped up.

Another blogger has some here: http://wr2a.wordpress.com/2013/04/15/patriots-day-bombing-in-boston/

Another source just told me that 12 are confirmed dead.  I haven’t verified it myself yet.  Working this.

Other news sources are reporting at least 10 individuals with amputation injuries.

I am not going to report on the number of casualties because I don’t think there is enough information.  Fox is stating 2 dead, and a lot of injuries.  So I’ll leave it to the news.

Common Sense Survival

Read and heed….

rmactsc

When it comes to any type of TEOTWAWKI (The end of the world as we know it) survival situations, there are some common sense survival tactics that everyone should be aware of.

• Survival requires proper planning, a proper mindset and good gear.
• Food, water, guns, ammo and other necessary survival gear should be already stocked before a survival situation occurs.
• Avoid dehydration and starvation at all costs.
• Have a secure, well stocked, defendable location available.
• Firearms and knives for defensive purposes are essential.
• Avoid strange, dangerous areas and strange, dangerous people.
• Crowds can quickly turn violent and can get you killed.
• Light and noise discipline when appropriate is essential.
• People will fight over scant resources.
• Thugs will try and take what you have.
• Martial law is always bad.
• People who thought you were nuts for prepping when times were good will start showing up on  your doorstep when times are bad. 
• Never show weakness.
• You…

EMP threat?

A few weeks back the North Koreans made a huge stink in the world when they launched a “satellite” into space.  That payload is still tumbling through space on a polar orbit.  It occurred to me that perhaps the payload might have been a test to see if they could orbit something; in fact most of the experts in field believe this is what they accomplished.

However, there is now some “concern” in the field of Missile Defense that the North Koreans might have actually orbited a nuclear bomb, a small one to be sure, not anything that would be any bigger than say the Hiroshima bomb. 

In case you are not aware, Electromagnetic Pulse can be generated with an atomic or thermonuclear device at a few dozen miles above the Earth.  Assuming (and of course this is a low probability) they orbited a nuke of any sort and can remotely detonate the device there is a possibility this alleged device could create an EMP over the US.

There is plenty of evidence to show EMP could cripple the US (or any other country for that matter) and this isn’t a laughing matter. 

http://mobile.wnd.com/2013/04/u-s-on-alert-for-overhead-nuclear-blast/

On top of all of this, the Chinese have decided to move large numbers of troops along the Northern border.  They have decided to push for “operations in an EMP environment” (www.china.org.cn/china/2013-04/01/content_28422591.htm) and the Russians have decided to accuse the US of provocation.

As an old, retired “Cold Warrior” from the 70’s and 80’s I am giving my personal warning that something “is up”.  We’re watching the old Cold War Signs we worked hard to observer before the Russians would jump the gun and nuke the US.  I can’t emphasize how serious this situation is, regardless of Comical Kim.  While he is probably the most impotent leader in the world, he commands a rather large army, does have atomic bombs, can possibly install them on missiles and is as unstable as nitroglycerin.

The Communists band together for the purpose of destroying Capitalism, which places Russia (a supporter of North Korea anyway) and China (an ally of North Korea in the Korean War my father fought in) firmly in the Court of Comical Kim.

If that tumbling satellite happens to have a bomb on it, and it happens to be detonated above the US the EMP generated will take out power grids in a very wide foot print (depending on the altitude, and geo-location of the blast).  Such an event could trigger a much, much larger, more serious event than a DPRK Comedy Show.

Certainly, the US would retaliate and Pyongyang would be a glowing hole in the surface of the planet.  But there is China and Russia, both with nuclear weapons, mostly aimed at the US and allies. 

The continued blackmail cycles that Kim has taken us through (from his father first and now him) have to stop.  The cycle must be broken here and now and before the next incident actually takes us not to the brink of nuclear war, but into Armageddon.

Patriots, if you’re NOT prepared yet for what is coming you’d better take some time now to get right with God, your family and get your shit together.  I can tell you that I’m rarely right in any of my “global predictions” – but I can also tell you that what I am seeing isn’t just some lame brained dufus peasant rattling his crappy wooden stick at the Roman Empire. 

We’re looking at the one guy who has the ability to create a situation that drags the United States, Russia and China – not to mention other allies of the US into global thermonuclear war.

The current administration in the US has us in turmoil over gun rights; this is planned in my opinion, and this North Korean thing is either a Wag-the-Dog situation to keep us from paying attention to things closer to home, or it (with the involvement of Russia and China) are planned events to disarm the public, and turn over the land mass and slaves in America to the Communists.

Maybe I’m being over dramatic and this is nothing more than another Korean Kommiety Show – I don’t know, but I don’t have a good feeling about any of this.

Why Your Doctor Won’t Help You Prepare

Why Your Doctor Won’t Help You Prepare–And What You Can Do About It, by Cynthia J. Koelker, MD

This past week I had a pharmacy call me about a multi-year prescription I had written for a fellow prepper.  The pharmacy would not fill the prescription, and didn’t even know if was legal.  At first they told the patient I would have to write a note regarding the purpose of so much medication, and that the drug might not even be good beyond a year.  On further consideration, they informed him that he would have to get a new prescription written for a smaller amount.  It seemed they did not even want to keep the written prescription in their records (which are periodically reviewed).
