Trevor at New Zeal has a new post up on the Obama Files and it’s a great one:

Obama File 96 Coincidence? Obama, Frank Marshall Davis and the Earl Durham Connection

New Zeal does an excellent job of connecting the dots between Barack Obama’s communist childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis and Chicago journalist Vernon Jarrett, father-in-law of senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. Valerie Jarrett, in my opinion, is as radical as they come and you know what they say about birds of a feather… Take a peek at some of Obama’s radical Community Organizing and Family Issues colleagues who included:

• Ken Rolling, signer of a 2008 statement in support of Bill Ayers.
• Jackie Grimshaw, Obama’s Hyde Park next door neighbour, Democratic Socialists of America honoree board member of the radical DSA controlled Midwest Academy.
• Barbara Engel, served with Bernardine Dorhn in 1991 on a committee of the communist front organization, Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights.
• Anne Hallet, signer of a 2008 statement in support of Bill Ayers, active with both Illinois and national ACORN.
• Judy Hertz, involved with Illinois ACORN and the Midwest Academy.
• Elce Redmond, recently close to the Chicago Communist Party and active in the Committees of Correspondence/Democratic Socialists of America dominated Chicago Political Economy Group.
• Mary Scott-Boria, 1998 co-president of the Democratic Socialists of America influenced Progressive Chicago Area Network (PROCAN).
• Ellen Schumer, board member of the Committees of Correspondence/Democratic Socialists of America infiltrated, Obama, Ayers, Dohrn and Earl Durham supported Crossroads Fund.

That Barack Obama has mixed with Alinskyites, communists and socialists for his entire time in Chicago is beyond doubt.

Ask yourself, how much evidence do you need to see of Obama’s radical ties before you label him a radical beyond all doubt? Not too many years ago, you were judged by the company that you keep. Once again, concerning his friends, associates and cronies, President Obama gets a solid F. They say that the Kennedy’s brought the Mafia into the White House… Well, Obama has done one better. He has made the White House the Mafia. Well done…

Make sure you read ALL of Trevor’s post here… Then take the time to go through the Obama Files at New Zeal and learn about the REAL Obama.

If you are going to run for the U.S. Senate, you have to stand in front of voters and be willing to say what it is you are going to do if elected. That is why I have announced my economic plan for Nevada – and America. Read it here.

Tax Cuts for Families and Businesses, Deep Cuts in Federal Spending

As you will see, the plan focuses on tax relief and deep spending cuts. Specifically I recommend tax relief for families so they can start saving and spending again, and tax relief for businesses as well so they can begin hiring. And we must couple the tax relief with the deep spending cuts needed to get government out of the way of the private sector. That means no more phony stimulus plans loaded down with pork.

Energy Independence Through Nuclear Energy

But my plan digs deeper. Our economic freedom and therefore our future prosperity depends on being able to achieve energy independence. My energy plan focuses on using clean nuclear energy and recycling it at Yucca Mountain to reap millions in revenues and create thousands of jobs.

With the power of nuclear energy, we can stop funding foreign dictators at the pump and fighting endless resource wars. We are a self-sufficient country and a self-sufficient people; certainly we can be self-sufficient when it comes to our energy needs.

I hope you will read the plan today and spread the word that a true conservative who opposes the bailouts and opposes all pork and new taxes is finally going to replace Harry Reid in the U.S. Senate.

Best wishes,

Danny Tarkanian

“Some may say it only represents 7 .7 billion dollars in a multi-trillion dollar budget, but I believe pork spending is actually the most expensive spending of all,” said Tarkanian. “This is the slush fund used to leverage the irresponsible budget votes that have spent our grandchildren’s money before they’ve worn their first diaper.”

Though I cannot prove this, as I have tripped over Wikipedia entries – a number seem to have been modified. Governor Brewer’s was one of them – it should be noted that all I found on her was basically conservative in nature except when it came to stimulus funds. The discrepancies have something to do with something labeled the New Progressive Party which I can find little on. I have to wonder if this council is connected somehow on Progressive goals and issues. Here are the historical entries of the Progressive Party that I have found:

Progressive Party (United States, 1912)

Progressive Party (United States, 1948)

Check out the Progressive Party’s Platform… Very interesting and chilling reading. It will change your whole viewpoint on President Theodore Roosevelt.

If anyone finds a common link between these 10, please let me know. Also if you find anything on a New Progressive Party or the actual Progressive Party as it now is, send it to us here at terresa AT noisyroom.net.

Bernanke warns debt threatens recovery

But Mr. Bernanke adamantly denied that would happen. “The Federal Reserve will not monetize the debt,”he said. “Either cuts in spending or increases in taxes will be necessary to stabilize the fiscal situation.”

Really?

Ponzi Scheme: The Federal Reserve Bought Approximately 80 Percent Of U.S. Treasury Securities Issued In 2009

No, the headline is not a misprint. According to CNBC, the Federal Reserve bought approximately 80 percent of the U.S. Treasury securities issued in 2009. In other words, the Federal Reserve has been gobbling up the massive tsunami of U.S. government debt that has been created over the past year. This is absolutely unprecedented, and it is yet another clear indication that the U.S. financial system is on the verge of a major economic collapse.

Monetizing debt

In the United States, and in many other countries, the government does not have the power to issue new currency to pay its bills[citation needed] – it must instead finance the deficit by issuing new bonds and selling them to the public to acquire the necessary money to pay its bills. However, if these bonds do not end up in the hands of the public, the only alternative is for them to be purchased by the central bank. For the bonds not to end up in the public hands the central bank must conduct an open market purchase. This action by the central bank increases the monetary base through the money creation process. This process of financing government spending is called monetizing the debt.[1] Monetizing debt is a two step process where the government issues debt to finance its spending, the central bank purchases the debt from the public and the public is left with high powered money.

We miss you President Reagan – every day… Possibly one of the greatest conservatives who ever lived and a patriot and leader that the founding fathers would have been proud of. America cries out for another Reagan to lead them out of the Progressive hell enveloping us into the light of freedom…

JammieWearingFool – Happy Birthday, Mr. President

1755

The French and Indian War, as the Americans called it, was a phase, and perhaps the most important one, of a global conflict (called by some historians the Seven Years’ War, by others the Great War for the Empire) between France and Britain, fought over the issue of which empire would control the future of the North American continent. In the American colonies, the war broke out in the Pennsylvania wilderness on May 28, 1754, when George Washington, aged twenty-two, attacked a small French force at Great Meadows. Washington was forced to surrender on July 3, but this was only a minor skirmish; the war began in earnest the following year, when General Braddock attempted to capture Fort Duquesne, which the French had recently built on the site of what is now Pittsburgh. Braddock’s regulars — Colonel Washington was a member of the general’s staff — had chopped their way westward for over a month through dense forest. On July 9, 1755, they were surprised by a small force (mostly Indians) seven miles from the fort that was their objective. The ensuing fight ended in a complete rout of the British; Braddock was killed, and Dunbar, the new commander, led the survivors — only about 1,500 out of an original 2,500 — back to Philadelphia. Despite Braddock’s crushing defeat, the bravery of the “Virginia blues” was caught up in the postwar myth of the vast superiority of the quick-witted American farmer-soldier over the British regular. In the following letter, written by Washington to his mother on July 18, Washington described the battle, and told her of his near escape from death.

Honored Madam:

As I doubt not but you have heard of our defeat, and, perhaps, had it represented in a worse light, if possible, than it deserves, I have taken this earliest opportunity to give you some account of the engagement as it happened, within ten miles of the French fort, on Wednesday the 9th instant.

We marched to that place, without any considerable loss, having only now and then a straggler picked up by the French and scouting Indians. When we came there, we were attacked by a party of French and Indians, whose number, I am persuaded, did not exceed three hundred men; while ours consisted of about one thousand three hundred well-armed troops, chiefly regular soldiers, who were struck with such a panic that they behaved with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive. The officers behaved gallantly, in order to encourage their men, for which they suffered greatly, there being near sixty killed and wounded; a large proportion of the number we had.

The Virginia troops showed a good deal of bravery, and were nearly all killed; for I believe, out of three companies that were there, scarcely thirty men are left alive. Captain Peyrouny, and all his officers down to a corporal, were killed. Captain Polson had nearly as hard a fate, for only one of his was left. In short, the dastardly behavior of those they call regulars exposed all others, that were inclined to do their duty, to almost certain death; and, at last, in despite of all the efforts of the officers to the contrary, they ran, as sheep pursued by dogs, and it was impossible to rally them.

The General was wounded, of which he died three days after. Sir Peter Halket was killed in the field, where died many other brave officers. I luckily escaped without a wound, though I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me. Captains Orme and Morris, two of the aids-de-camp, were wounded early in the engagement, which rendered the duty harder upon me, as I was the only person then left to distribute the General’s orders, which I was scarcely able to do, as I was not half recovered from a violent illness, that had confined me to my bed and a wagon for above ten days. I am still in a weak and feeble condition, which induces me to halt here two or three days in the hope of recovering a little strength, to enable me to proceed homewards; from whence, I fear, I shall not be able to stir till toward September; so that I shall not have the pleasure of seeing you till then, unless it be in Fairfax…

I am, honored Madam, your most dutiful son.

P.S. We had about 300 men killed and as many, and more, wounded.

Andrew finished his speech with this warning to the media:

“If you don’t start reporting the truth I will organize a protest in New York City on Madison Avenue and you won’t be able to escape to the Hamptons for the weekend.”

Awesome, just awesome…

The lyrics:

Half-way across the globe,
And we’re standing on new ground
Screaming ‘cross the waves
You can’t hear a sound
There’s no fair trials, no trade, no liberties
No tea!
We’ve colonized America. We won’t stand for tyranny!
O king:

And its too late to apologize.
Its too late!
I said its too late to apologize
Its too late!

We’ve paid your foolish tax, read the acts
And they just wont do.
We want to make it clear, we believe this much is true:
All men were created with certain
Unalienable rights!
Among these are life-liberty, and the pursuit
Of happiness!

Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!
I said Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!

Its too late to apologize!
Its too late!
I said its too late apologize!
Its too late!

I said its too late to apologize! Yeah!
Its too late!
I said its too late to apologize, yeah!

Half-way across the globe
And we’re standing on new ground

BREAKING:: TARKANIAN LEADS KROLICKI, LOWDEN OVER REID

Contact: press@tark2010.org | February 5, 2010

In a new Rasmussen poll, conservative Republican U.S. Senate candidate Danny Tarkanian leads all GOP candidates – including Lt. Governor Brian Krolicki and former GOP Chair Sue Lowden – in head to head matchups over Harry Reid.

• Tarkanian 47%, Reid 39% (+8)
• Lowden 45%, Reid 39% (+6)
• Krolicki 44% Reid 41% (+3)

In the last Mason-Dixon/LVRJ survey, Tarkanian – featured recently on Glenn Beck as the Tea Party candidate – also led the primary and had gained support over the last three surveys.

• Tarkanian 28%
• Lowden 26%

“Danny Tarkanian has the right message at the right time,” said Tarkanian consultant James Fisfis. “He is a strong fiscal conservative who will stand up to the establishment Washington DC culture of endless bailouts, borrowing and spending.”
