Homeland Security Monitoring THE DRUDGE REPORT — Homeland Security, Monitoring YOU?

Posted on by


I’m sorry, but this is getting rather silly.

More Gub’mint DoubleSpeak contained below (from The Atlantic Wire):

It’s unclear exactly why, but the Department of Homeland has been operating a “Social Networking/Media Capability” program to monitor the top blogs, forums and social networks online for at least the past 18 months. Based on a privacy compliance review from last November recently obtained by Reuters, the purpose of the project is to “collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture.

Here’s where I’ll be Homeland Security Blunt for a moment.
Any government or administration fears two major points when it detects loss of control, possible insurrection or popular disagreement with a paradigm:
1. An armed populace, and
2. An informed populace, via communications; i.e., the internet
You’re seeing both of these venues placed under the microscope for diminishment or removal by our current federal government. And I’m not wearing tinfoil right now. I’m merely stating the truth.
So: Homeland Security monitoring The Drudge Report? I am not placing myself into the Shocked Category. Perhaps even monitoring me? You? Who knows?
Because, apparently, the federal government needs to “collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture.” Wondrous DoubleSpeak, yes?
And every day, the frog in the boiling pot gets his water temperature increased just a bit.
As a parting shot, think about this: how many times per day do you think you’re captured on someone’s camera, at work, in the street, at the ATM, in your bank, in any number of places?
And up to now — have you even thought about your lack of privacy?
Who’s Big Brother now?

First: BATFE’s Fast & Furious; Now: DEA Launders Cash For Mexican Drug Cartels

Posted on by


And it goes from deadly stupid to completely incomprehensible.

It was bad enough that USBP Agent Brian Terry was killed as the result of BATFE’s “Fast and Furious” cock-up. And that documents relating to that event were sealed in order to purposely cover the asses of Mr Obama’s higher-ups. Deniability. Just not plausible in any fashion.

Now, America’s DEA is allegedly laundering money for Mexican drug cartels. From RT.com:

The Mexican Drug War has so far yielded around 50,000 deaths and has become one of the biggest problems poised on North America during the last century.

It might be a tremendous tally of lost lives, but just as impressive though is the amount of money that the US has invested in the war. Since attempting to cooperate in the battle against dangerous cartels in the south, the United States has moved millions of dollars of narcotics and profits around the world in a money laundering scheme meant to infiltrate the seedy underbelly of Mexico’s drug trade.

What America did, instead, was consequentially fund a deadly campaign that has left a bodycount built with the massacre of thousands of journalists, officers, agents and civilians.

Recent reports obtained by the New York Times reveals that American drug enforcement agents posed as money launderers in an elaborate scheme that was meant to install men within the ranks of the cartels and take them down from the inside. The documents suggest that American agents worked hand-in-hand with Mexican law enforcement officials and a Colombian informant working undercover in 2007 to try to get to the inside. Doing so, they participated in massive felonies, moving millions worth of contraband and cash all over the world.

According to the documents made possible through an extradition order by the Mexican Foreign Ministry, US efforts in conjunction with Mexican and Columbia contacts included a plethora of wire transfers of tens of thousands of dollars at a time and the illegal smuggling of millions of dollars in cold, hard cash. The Times reports that there was also at least one in-depth international incident that led to American agents accompanying a massive coke shipment from Ecuador, into Dallas, Texas and then Madrid.

Wonderful. US agents were coke security escorts for major drug dealers.

Let me be blunt: this isn’t what I learned at Quantico. But it makes me glad I left the federal venue, lo, those many years ago.

And wait, it’ll get better: just like “Fast and Furious,” NO ONE in the AG’s office will know ANYTHING about this. Source New York Times article is here.

I can hear the sphincters clenching and slamming shut in DC from here.

Our Debt Now EQUALS Our GDP

Posted on by


As everyone else frets about who can spew Attack Vomit from one GOP contender to another, I’d instead care to direct your attention to an incredible fact.

Clearly, one thing you will NOT hear trumpeted by the DEM/MSM — and everyone “in the tank” for Barack Hussein Obama:

From USA Today:

WASHINGTON – The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It’s now as big as the entire U.S. economy.

The amount of money the federal government owes to its creditors, combined with IOUs to government retirement and other programs, now tops $15.23 trillion.

That’s roughly equal to the value of all goods and services the U.S. economy produces in one year: $15.17 trillion as of September, the latest estimate. Private projections show the economy likely grew to about $15.3 trillion by December — a level the debt is likely to surpass this month.

So whilst Mitt attacks Rick attacks Newt attacks Jon attacks Rick, the IMPORTANT things get shuttled aside.

40% of persons polled portray themselves as CONSERVATIVE. 30% of those polled portray themselves as REPUBLICAN. That’s called a CLUE to you, GOP.

Which is primarily why I no longer contribute to the GOP or any formally-linked GOP site. I write my checks to specific individuals. You know who you are.

From KnickLedger.com:

The debt of the U.S. now equals the total gross domestic product (GDP) of the country, U.S. Treasury figures show.

Treasury reported an increase of $238 billion of new debt immediately after President Obama signed the debt ceiling increase into law.

New borrowing now is at $14.58 trillion, over last year’s GDP of $14.53 trillion – putting the U.S. into the same classification of other indebted nations such as Italy and Belgium. Public debt is now $14.53 trillion, rising from a previous cap of $14.29 trillion on Monday.

We’re spiraling DOWN.

Why can’t you GOP potentials focus like a LASER BEAM on the subject of your PURPOSE?

Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Hello?

DEBT now = GDP?

Hello?

Anyone listening??

Tebow 3:16

Posted on by

Coincidence?

Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow and the biblical verse John 3:16 have long been entwined. So why is it now trending on Google?

Turns out that the evangelical Christian — whose dramatic sideline praying on one knee has even spawned the phrase “tebowing” — churned out some timely 3-16s in his team’s big playoff win over Pittsburgh on Sunday night.

Most notable, Tebow threw for a season-high 316 yards and set an NFL record with 31.6 yards per completion.

For the record, John 3:16 reads:

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Complete co-inky-dink.

Michelle Obama: We’re Coming For Your 2nd

Posted on by


And thanks for the clear warning, I say.

At a recent fundraiser for President Obama’s re-election campaign in Providence, Rhode Island, the first lady told her audience:

“We stand at a fundamental crossroads for our country. You’re here because you know that in just 13 months, we’re going to make a choice that will impact our lives for decades to come … let’s not forget what it meant when my husband appointed those two brilliant Supreme Court justices … let’s not forget the impact that their decisions will have on our lives for decades to come.”

Those two “brilliant Supreme Court justices” refer to Elena Kagan (replaced John Paul Stevens in 2010, no loss) and Sonia Sotomayor (replaced David Souter in 2009, no loss).
The only clear and rational interpretation for that is this: we’re coming for your Freedoms, we’re coming for your 2nd Amendment and we’ve made great inroads on eliminating portions of the 4th, 5th and 14th.
The point of my Monday post is this:
Should Mr Obama win a second term, you can be guaranteed — repeat, guaranteed — that he will be able to make a third appointment or possibly even a fourth SCOTUS appointment and, absent a complete and overwhelming takeover of both the House and Senate (not likely), his choice(s) will be Leftist in nature with a philosophical bent not in keeping with the traditional US Constitution but individuals who believe in a “living, breathing Constitution” that is “informed” on not only national precedents, but “global” precedents and “needs” as well.
You can take that to the bank, what’s left of it.

When Americans flock to the polls in 13 months, we will not simply decide which direction our country should take over the next four years. Rather, we will decide whether or not our fundamental, individual right to keep and bear arms will survive over the next several decades.

Currently, the Second Amendment clings to a 5-4 pro-freedom majority on the Supreme Court. Just one vote is all that stands between the America our Founding Fathers established and a radically different America that Barack Obama and his supporters envision.

If you want to read something scary, take another look at the minority opinions in the Supreme Court’s landmark Heller and McDonald decisions that struck down Washington, D.C.’s and Chicago’s unconstitutional gun bans. In the Heller dissent, four justices concluded that the Second Amendment does not guarantee an individual right to own a firearm, nor does it protect our right to defend ourselves, our families, or our property. In McDonald, the same four justices argued that the 5-4 Heller decision should be reversed.

And if that isn’t sufficiently frightening for you, ladies and gentlemen, then I give up hope for this nation.
