What’s WALNUT?

A little known fact is that China has an organization that has operated for 63 years funded by the communist Chinese government called WALNUT (acronym has no English translation) that works to address issues of discrimination, affordable housing, a quality education, or better public services.

The only thing that sets the Chinese group apart from our American ACORN is that the Chinese community organization, WALNUT actually seeks to keep the oppressed, oppressed the poor, poor and the stupid, stupid.

Oh… Maybe they’re not so different after all.

My bad.

Obama’s Surrender

Bowing to foreign potentates is common for their subjects, but when the leader of another nation bows it is also a sign of surrender.

The United States of America is only in one formally declared armed conflict and that is the former “war on terror”. But there is another war we are fighting against socialism and that unfortunately appears to be a civil war. Obama has basically surrendered to the New World Order and the United Nations. He alienates our friends and makes back room deals with our enemies.

While in the Senate Barack Obama sponsored (not co-sponsored, he actually was responsible for the writing and introduction of) S.2433. (For those interested in research you can check which Bills Obama sponsored or co-sponsored at GovTrack) S.2433 was named the Global Poverty Act of 2007.

The stated purpose of this proposal is to “To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $2 per day.”

It sounds innocuous until you read the Millennium Development goals. Basically the GPA is designed to rape American resources in order to raise the standard of living for everyone else. The GPA basically gives the United Nations control of the American economy and resources. It would make America subservient to the UN. It would require all Americans to pay a tax to the UN. The amount and method of taxation would be determined by the UN not the citizens of America.

Hidden within the GPA is the requiring of America to meet the Millennium Development Goals. One of those goals is the elimination of the manufacture and sale of small arms and ammunitions and the mandatory control of these. The GPA would in effect subjugate our Constitution to the UN, like many of Obama’s plans.

The GPA is also an open door to Shariah Law. The UN for some time has disapproved of our State based penal codes. They claim that there is a disparity between punishments. One country the Maldives have already rewritten their criminal code to correspond with the Koran.

Since action on the GPA has been moved down Obama’s priority list he is now attempting another run at the second amendment with a change in position the UN Arms Trade Treaty.

Obama does not like an armed populace. It appears that he will do anything to disarm America and Americans. Obama’s vision for America does not involve capitalism, freedom, the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

The position of President of the United States does not give the holder a unilateral ability to surrender, yet Obama is surrendering and apologizing to everyone, except the American peoples; them… he is selling down the river.

Wake Up America!

Fortune Telling

 

The events of the last week, as evidenced by reactions to the horrific mass murder at Fort Hood, give indicators where Obama and his minions want to take this Country.

Obama in his remarks at the Department of the Interior the day of the shootings disrespected the military in a couple of ways. First when he did a shout out to a man whom he claimed was a Medal of Honor recipient. The man actually was awarded a civilian medal of freedom. They are not even close to being the same. The Congressional Medal of Honor is the highest award for valor against an  enemy force which can be bestowed upon an individual serving in the Armed Services of the United States. A fact that seemed to not be in Obama’s vast knowledge base. In his speech he makes reference to the fact that he is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Services but his lack of empathy with the victims, their families and the military spoke louder than his tele-prompter reading. His ignorance about the Medal of Honor also speaks volume about his knowledge of military traditions and protocol.

Even after a few days with it, Obama still wants you to have sympathy for the … shooter. Obama wants to portray Hasan as a soldier (one who has never been to war)who simply snapped under the pressures of serving. He was a dedicated Officer in the US Army.

Obama in an interview with Jake Tapper of ABC News, implied that Hasan “cracked” under stress. Cracked? This is a man whom purchased an expensive weapon ($1200 to $2000) months before and practiced extensively.   This is a man whose own family can’t keep his story straight about when he entered the Military and why. This is a man who put his ethnicity and religion over his oath to this Country. This is a man who purchased additional high capacity magazines for one of his pistols to expedite reloading (He fired in excess of five full magazines; over 100 rounds, 20 rounds per magazine in less than four minutes, weapon new comes with only three magazines). His actions were not those of a person who snapped, they were planned and premeditated. They were thought out before hand and then executed. This is a man who took a medical oath to do no harm and violated it. This is a man who had business cards made up identifying himself as an “SOA” (Soldier of Allah) (ht Pamela Gellar). This is a man who on official paperwork claimed to be born in Virginia but who listed his nationality as Palestinian. This is a man who proselytized Islam, and either conned members of his mosque into believing he was a good and dedicated US Army soldier or they are all part of the plot and are lying.

After days of reflection (pouring over poll results) and news reports about the life of the latest attempt at Islamic martyrdom, Obama suggests that we try to understand the poor depressed shooter.

This was not an attack on the Great Satan’s Army as has been suggested by radical Muslims, this was an attack on America and Her heart. There is still much we do not know about Hasan’s motives but from his actions it is clear that he typifies the enemy and that we are in a war not only against terrorism but against radical Islam.

Surf by Youtube and watch the videos posted by the acolytes of radical Islam.  They openly malign and curse America. Why not? Even our POTUS apologizes for this Country every chance he gets. 

This is not the first attack on our military by another uniformed service member.  Hasan Karim Akbar (aka Mark Fidel Kools) tried to wipe out a command control group in Kuwait in 2003. Interesting that his mother originally named him after Castro. He was sentenced to death but his case is languishing in the Court of Military Appeals.

The timing couldn’t have better for this Administration. It pushed the unconstitutional acts of Congress from the front pages of America. It allowed this Administration to perform their slight of hand magic and thuggery to push this country down the doomed road to socialism.

Expect increased pressure by this Administration to allow shariah law to gain access to our court system. You can also expect a lot of Administration pressure on military authorities to “hide” information. Scapegoats will be found and “exposed”, all in an attempt to minimize any responsibility by Nidal Hasan.

Hasan didn’t slip under the radar he was given a “political correct” pass by people more interested in their own agendas than the needs, desires or tenets of America. But those people who gave him the “pass” will escape scrutiny for they have served their masters well in bringing America down.

Opening our borders to travelers and immigrants with AIDS and HIV; the Congress threatening to imprison anyone who object to their brand of socialism as demonstrated in the House Healthcare Bill; the “bribing” of elected Representatives with re-election funds; the appalling lack of emotion by Obama to the Fort Hood tragedy;  the victimization of the shooter and the implied condoning of his actions; the subjugation of American sovereignty to the UN; the indoctrination of school children into the “Cult of Personality”; the subjugation of free speech;  and the bankrupting of this Nation are not small steps they are giant leaps into the abyss.

Unless the American people wake up and start speaking up so loudly that it affects  the great one’s polling numbers expect more seditious behavior.

How much more will it take to wake YOU up?

Obama Praised for Golf, Bush Demonized

Barack Obama has already matched George W. Bush’s 24 rounds on the golf course in 10 short months what took Bush 34 months.  Eventually, Bush quite all together because of media criticism.

As USA Today points out:

The Oval’s good friend Mark Knoller of CBS News reports that Obama on Sunday played his 24th round of golf since his inauguration Jan. 20 — matching Bush’s presidential total, which he racked up in two years and 10 months. …President Bush played his last round in 2003, telling reporters he didn’t think it was appropriate to play the game with the  U.S. at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Previously, Bush’s mixing of golf and foreign policy had gotten him into trouble.

Despite two war locations, a massive recession, 10 percent unemployment, and a runaway spending, Obama’s golf game is not criticized by the media.  However, when Bush played golf he was demonized.  Can somebody say “double standard” out there?

Obama Admits He Wants the Entire Country to be Like the South Side of Chicago

I got lost on the south side of Chicago once. It was an experience I’ll never forget, and I don’t mean that in a good way. Considering that people who live in and love Chicago generally try to avoid going to the south side of their own city, I find it a little creepy that our current President was caught on tape boasting at an SEIU event during the campaign season last year about all that he had accomplished there, and proclaiming that, “…Now the time has come…to do it all across this country…?!” Listen for yourself:

The Hawaiian Investigation of Obama Birth Certificate Attestations & Realities: TerriK, Donofrio, et. al.

Strand Magazine
~ ‘magazine’ or compendium if you prefer, of the strands of evidence

Hawaii has an open records law, similar to the federal “Freedom of Information Act.” A few individuals are looking for equal justice under that law. The articles below are suggested, roughly in this order, to understand the events, aspects, and nuances of the attempts to discover what the alleged “Hawaiian Birth Certificate” of Barack Obama actually is and what has been done with it, by whom, over the years.

Arthur Conan Doyle originally wrote his Sherlock Holmes stories as serials, published in a magazine. That art imitates the real life of a journaled investigation.

Demons From a Doomed War

(Updated)

I received an email this past week about a flight where some people bought sack lunches for soldiers going off to war. This email is one of several making the rounds. There are also a couple of videos and even commercials making the rounds about people offering support to our military men and women.

These are a big change from my landing in Oakland on my first trip home from Vietnam. We were advised not to wear our uniforms in public so as not to “agitate” or exacerbate public opinion. Protestors were known to spit on returning soldiers. They were also known to throw blood or fake blood on service members. GIs were subjected to derogatory name calling and dishonored at every turn.

Try as I will I have never gotten over my treatment upon returning from a war that we forfeited and slunk away from like cowards. The protestors of the early 70s are now in charge of this country and once again they have no guilt about denigrating our servicemen and women.

I have spent the last couple of weeks fighting off the demons caused by my PTSD. Normally I avoid “triggers” but I have discovered some new ones. Peace symbols are now back in vogue worn by Obama’s kids, celebrities, and fashionistas. One of my frequent nightmares involves me getting hit with a Molotov cocktail while guarding the Army Post Office in Oakland, California. The burn scars are still on my arm, faded but I can see them. The last thing I saw before covering my face to protect it was the peace symbol and tie dyed clothing.

I recently went to a neighborhood reunion, where those from the community that have given all in defense of our freedoms were honored with a moment of silence, but all I could see was people there wearing peace symbols. Those symbols didn’t translate as peace to me, they translated as surrender, as treason, and as my enemy.

I gave a lot for this country. I don’t expect anything for my sacrifice. I never did. It was my duty and I did it.

I am of an age I don’t expect to be around much longer. I will leave nothing behind; my lineage will end. I pray that this Country and the freedoms I and every other veteran has fought to preserve will be our lasting heritage. That is my reason for adamantly opposing the slide into socialism that the Obama Administration is trying to shove down our throats.

We didn’t start the fire, but when we are gone, will it still burn on, and on, and on, and on…?

More Obama Worship – This time in Columbia, MD (To the Tune of ‘This Little Light of Mine’)

Those of you who are like me, and grew up singing Gospel music in Church will be horrified by this. I’m still trying to pick up my jaw off the floor.

 

Isn’t this precious? Third-graders declaring they’re ‘free at last,’ now that Obama is POTUS

This is from Breitbart.tv. I’m not sure exactly what this little kids believe they’ve been liberated from or to…listen for yourself. Here are the lyrics:

The Obama Song (”Proud American”)
By Mr. B and the students of Room 8
February 2009

Obama is the President!
First African America in history
44th president of the United States
The ground has shifted
The world has changed!

CHORUS:
Oooo I’m a proud American
Oooo yes yes yes yes YES WE CAN!

Im going to study really hard just like Barack
Learning never ever stops
Gonna set my goals HIGH and graduate
You might be looking at the President of 2048!

We are a nation of a thousand colors, look at me
Our strength is our diversity
Walking hand in hand we sing
Each a day a little closer to the dream of Dr. King

(Exerpt from MLK’s “I Have a Dream,” 1963)

Together we walk
Me and you
So so much work
Left to do.

These kids are apparently in San Francisco (according to the newspaper used in the video). Here is the teacher, “Mr. B’s” story of how the video came about.

Just as information – the little girl wearing a hijab is not old enough to be required to do this, even under Muslim law. I don’t know if she was doing this for the video, or if her parents are using her as a tiny propoganda tool.

Obama wants you to read this post.

Actually, President Obama doesn’t know about this post (yet), but I was very curious about this advertising tactic I’ve been seeing in Facebook ads recently. So, I did a little research, and have come up with more questions than answers.

Lately, I’ve been seeing these ads in the right sidebar of my Facebook profile:

Obviously, with the popularity of Obama during the last election season among internet users, it’s easy to see why some advertising companies would be tempted to wring every last bit of social energy they can out of his name for as long as possible. These ads are appearing on Facebook feeds that talk about Obama, so they are apparently utilizing keywords, but obviously not semantic web techonology (as any reading of “tone” would detect that I am not exactly a fan of the current administration, and would not be likely to do ANYTHING simply because “Obama urged me to”).

Several companies have tried this, unsuccessfully. Here are some examples:

• Fried Chicken Places Slapped For Using Pres Obama’s Name
• Gun store catches heat over using Obamas name
• Russian ice cream ad using Obama’s image accused of being racist
• NBC rNBC rejects pro-life ad using Obama ejects pro-life ad using Obama

The problems encountered by the above companies have been carefully avoided in the ads appearing on Facebook. Obama’s name was not used as the name of the company in any of the ads, and the content of the ads was not controversial in nature.

Ok. But wait, there’s more…

A couple of days ago, I started clicking on these ads, and discovered that they are all being produced by the same company – Experian. Does that name sound familiar? Here’s a list of companies in what they call the “Experian Interactive Family”:

• PriceGrabber.com
• FreeCreditReport.com
• ClassesUSA.com
• Experian.com (one of the three major credit-reporting bureaus)

That’s right – a company that has access to ALL of your personal information – name, DOB, SS#, bank accounts, credit cards, etc., feels perfectly comfortable claiming that President Barack Obama endorses their products. Why is that?

I’d like to know what you think. Am I making something out of nothing, or is this something to be concerned about?
