FDR Exposed Part 5: Running with the Devil

By: Jay Loeffers

My apologies to Van Halen. I could not help myself with this title when considering the subject matter. I also want to make a correction from the Part 4 article… the number of the Executive Order that FDR signed for the internment camps was 9066 and not 066. Sorry about that folks. Tonight, I am going to be writing about Roosevelt’s bromance with Joseph Stalin and all of the great stuff Uncle Franklin gave out for free to the Russians. I’ll also cover how an iron fisted mass murderer grabbed the ear of a weak-minded progressive president and was able to plant spies inside the White House, fly out secret government documents from Montana and give major veto power to a new United Nations. I will also show that Roosevelt turned his head and a blind eye to Stalin’s invasion of Poland and his mass murder and labor camp imprisonment of the Poles. I’ll also show how FDR could have helped with the Warsaw Uprising with the backing of Churchill, but it was “communist bros before friendly allies” day it seems.

During March of 1942, Roosevelt had an almost bromantic relationship with Joseph Stalin and this relationship extended to special diplomatic favors which included providing free stuff at will to Russia; things like 4.5 million tons of food, 2.5 million tons of fuel for aircraft, secondhand P-39 planes, Army trucks, steel for railway repairs, rail cars, machine tools, tanks, motorcycles and clothing. Most Americans in general, were skeptical of Russia since the revolution in 1917. There were good reasons for this. Just ask Ayn Rand. She was born there during that time.

Stalin had promised to repay the money needed for this stuff with money from business funds the Russians confiscated and from money they themselves had borrowed. You know, that gag does not work in real life either. It’s like paying one credit card off with another one; it’s the same idea. Of course, Stalin reneged on the deal, but would placate Roosevelt by kissing his wheel chaired butt and FDR fell for it.

Others in Roosevelt’s staff were wary of Stalin. Both his Secretary of State, Cordell Hull and the US Ambassador to Russia, William Bullitt, warned not to trust Stalin in 1939 because he had joined with Hitler to push in and divide up Poland. At one time, Roosevelt had stated, “We must therefore continue to support the USSR by providing the maximum amount of supplies while it can be delivered to her ports. This is a matter of paramount importance.”

When FDR was told about Stalin joining Hitler, he was angry at Stalin and was very indignant. But as usual with Roosevelt, it didn’t last too long and he forgot about the whole thing it seemed. During that time, his female Secretary of Labor was telling Roosevelt that she had heard the Russian communists, “Had the desire to do the holy will.” Roosevelt responded to her, “You know there may be something to that.” Well with that in mind, can I say one thing? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! That was the most naive thing I have heard besides just about any foreign policy of Obama’s as of late. Talk about the dangerous mindset of progressives and liberals… you can’t fix evil dirt bags period (except maybe with a .35 cent bullet).

Winston Churchill, being a wise man, knew not to trust Stalin and said as much to FDR. But this was where they would butt heads because Roosevelt thought Churchill was an “imperialist” and that he had no right to tell him who he should trust. Roosevelt kept on pounding at the idea that Russia was a country of “freedom of conscience” that promoted “freedom of religion.” Much to the chagrin of Stalin, who already knew that he had Roosevelt eating out of his hand.

Roosevelt wrote a letter to Churchill stating his stance with Stalin:

“I know you will not mind me being brutally frank when I tell you that I think i can personally handle Stalin better then either your foreign office or my State Department. Stalin hates the guts of all of your top people.(Because they knew what Stalin was all about and FDR’s naive view didn’t help.) He thinks he likes me better and I hope he will continue to.”

Now, Stalin already had his spy network set up in the White House and in several key areas in the country. In the United States, they would report on everything from Roosevelt’s health, new foreign policy, new military weapons and the mood of the country. You would be surprised how the mood meter was used later on in the 1960’s peace movement where the KGB had useful idiots and even later in 1980 with the so-called anti-nuke protests designed to defeat Reagan took place. But that little plot failed. A person that quit being a spy – a guy named Whittaker Chambers – turned himself in and reported on the spy ring closest to the White House people. Like Alger Hiss, who was the head of the A.A.A.; Currie, White and Duggan told all this to Adolph Berle and then he reported it to Dean Acheson. This report was dismissed. They considered Chambers to be kooky and nothing was done.

Part of the Roosevelt-Stalin land-lease deal was that FDR had an airfield built in Great Falls, Montana. All the Russian pilots had to do was hop over from Russia to Alaska and then to Montana. They could just drop on by any time to pick up anything they wanted with little or no security on most days. Two men working at this airfield – one Randolph Hardy, a civilian worker and a military guy named Major George Jordan, both noted something was up and was really fishy. Sometimes the pilots would act friendly and some days they would be way too private. So, they got the Russian pilots drunk on good ole Vodka. As they were partying, both men went to the plane’s hold and found not only their ordered goods, but reams and reams of high and low security government documents just piled everywhere. These men went to Roosevelt’s staff to warn them about what was going on and their report went all the way to FDR’s right hand man, Stimson. All he could say was, “I already know about it, but I can’t do anything about it.”

So, you’re telling me you can put a small time dry cleaner in jail for .35 cents, you can protect union labor members and get people to do “make work” projects, but you could not stop the Russians from spying and stealing from America? That’s not so funny guys.

One small note… Vice President Wallace in 1944 went to Russia and found all kinds of American food, American aluminum, American machine tools in there shipyards… well you get the picture. But the one important thing the Russians didn’t show Wallace was all the American war time P.O.W.s they had in prisons. They kept that their little secret and who knows what happened to them after the war because no one knew about them and that’s a real tragedy.

Roosevelt’s Deal with the Devil: Poland, Warsaw and Yalta

Russia had SOME KIND OF MONSTER (yes, more Metallica references) in Joseph Stalin. This was a man at one time in league with Hitler and in turn, he gave Hitler the great house warming idea to get rid of those pesky Jews with large ovens and gas chambers. What a great guy (yuck).

Stalin’s grand invasion of Poland in 1942 occurred with the help of the Nazis. The main push was first through the city of Warsaw, but the brave people gave Stalin’s troops a few problems. They fought back with determined hearts and minds, but unfortunately they were crushed in 66 days. Sadly, I have read the diaries and letters from the survivors. They are very sad and happy stories mixed together. After the Poland defeat, Stalin had thousands of Poles taken to hard labor camps and then the officers and other fighters were taken to the Katyn Forest and were buried in a mass grave – they murdered them all at once. Stalin had them all buried, the area cleaned up and wiped out.

Later on when Roosevelt started to hear about this mass murder and the other facts about how truly evil Stalin really was, FDR simply stated that this was not possible and it must be a lie. Is there proof of this? He asked and was told, not yet, but the Red Cross is helping to find out more. Roosevelt then asked Stalin about this and Stalin, faking shock, said there was no way we could have done this… the Nazis must have done this. You know how those Fascists are… That was enough to placate Roosevelt and keep him off Stalin’s back.

Now during the Warsaw Uprising, Churchill wanted to help Poland’s people with food, supplies and other items. He wanted to help defeat Stalin’s troops and again this is where he and Roosevelt butted heads. In a letter to FDR, he stated what he wanted to do. This idea made Roosevelt nervous and he told Churchill he was on his own. That he would not do anything to help him or to damage his bromance with Stalin. So, FDR what happened to helping the little guy? I guess trying to defeat evil is not a real problem; just getting votes is.

Oh yes! The Yalta ‘sell America down the river Talks.’ What a great idea with all the advantages given to Russia and the then new and shiny United Nations. Stalin knew how to take advantage of Roosevelt’s failing health and poor mindset. The long travel time and the mileage would tire out Roosevelt and he would agree to almost anything. In Tehran, Stalin manipulated Roosevelt right off the bat.

For the Yalta Talks, Roosevelt had two goals in mind and they were:

FIRST – He wanted Russia’s help with Japan after the war and after the Germans surrendered. That’s if the A-bomb didn’t work.

SECOND – He wanted Stalin to be a major partner in achieving world peace through the future United Nations. You know my thoughts on these evil dirt bags – the United Nations was never about world peace in any size, shape or form. It was designed to destroy all Western ways of life with America at the top of its list and with 99% of the scumbag UN wanting America overthrown/destroyed. They are not America’s or the world’s friends.

Stalin, finding he had Roosevelt eating out of his hand, had no problem with helping with the formation and partnership of the UN. They would be useful for him as long as Russia would have veto power in the Security Council. Both of Stalin’s goals were met without giving anything to Roosevelt. Stalin knew how to play to Roosevelt’s weaknesses and naive progressive way of thinking. He knew him to be a weak president on foreign policy and was able to win the first battle of the cold war without a shot being fired.

There are Lies, Damned Lies, and now…”Obama Lies”

By: Jeffrey Klein
Examiner.com

Today President Barack Obama, along with his royally expensive Air Force One entourage, landed in Cushing, Oklahoma–the nation’s oil and gas pipeline capital–for another non-public mainstream media event, designed to stifle the public fury over skyrocketing gasoline prices.

The president once again exclaimed his standard slate of “Obama Lies;” specifically, the U.S. must always rely on foreign oil, because we only have 2% of the world’s oil reserves, but we use 20% of the world’s oil production–therefore, no amount of increase in domestic production can lower the price of gasoline.

Not so, say those in the know, along with several federal agencies–including the U.S. Department of Energy, run by the famously anti-oil Secretary, Steven Chu.

“It’s accurate but extremely misleading,” says Dan Kish of [the] Institute for Energy Research, which is supported by the industry. “What he is talking about is oil we already have found,” according to Jim Angle’s excellent FOXNews article yesterday.

Kish argues that it is at least very misleading, because Obama is referring to “proven” reserves of some 21 billion barrels.

However, analysts point out that so-called “proven reserves” were pegged at 20 billion barrels back in 1944. Interestingly enough, since then, the U.S. has extracted about 170 billion barrels–but we still only show 20 billion barrels of “proven reserves” on the books.

The Obama Administration is already famous for double-counting 500 billion Obamacare bucks.

One federal agency says there’s 10 times more — 219 billion barrels of “technically recoverable” energy [sic].

Author’s note: For purposes of accuracy and the elimination of political and environmental “fashion-speak” in this context, only oil volume is measured in barrels–not “Energy.” There is no such recognized thing as a “barrel of energy.” Further, in this context, [usable] “energy” is produced by some form of [combustion] “engine” via the consumption petroleum byproducts, refined from barrels of oil.

Another agency in the Energy Department says there’s 20 times that much–400 billion barrels; while some in the oil and gas industry claim there’s 60 times that amount–1.4 trillion barrels in untapped resources.

That’s energy the government knows we have but that has not yet been drilled for; and, industry experts argue it’s there for the taking.

“The trillion-plus barrels of oil in this country, more oil than in Saudi Arabia, is not counted by the president, and I think that’s misleading the American people,” John Hofmeister, the former CEO of Shell Oil, said.

With those kinds of resources, the U.S. could continue at its current consumption rate for 200 years without any imports, Kish of IER said. “And add Canada and Mexico? The numbers go off the chart.”

Another favorite Obama lie is … “As much as we’re doing to increase oil production–we’re not going to be able to just drill our way out of the problem of high gas prices.”

“Some of us believe that the president is trying to suggest that we don’t have adequate resource[s] here in the United States, which is just not true,” says Jack Gerard, president of the American Petroleum Institute, another industry group.

In fact, one industry analyst says [that] by tapping American oil along with Canadian resources and renewable energy, the U.S. could be self sufficient in just 12 years.

Nonetheless, the Obama lies continued, with the president taking credit for approving the “fast-tracking” of the Oklahoma-to-Texas [last] leg of the Keystone XL pipeline–even though he will not, and has not, had anything to do with it–whatsoever.

Infiltration, Crisis, Liquidation: Beck Maps Out 3 Phases of ‘Political System X’

Hat Tip: BB

The Blaze:

Phase I:

Beck mentioned that Phase I started in earnest with Teddy Roosevelt’s progressive Bull-Moose Party in 1912. With a gestation period that has taken some 100 years to complete, Beck laid out the key strategies the left enacted and completed:

  • Organize Groups for Control: Groups only care about the collective, not the individual, thus they have been a perfect way for the left to move its agenda forward en masse. The Tides Foundation is a good example of a group in action.
  • Infiltrate: Government, labor, education, media, military, courts, and so on must all be infiltrated. This was discussed extensively in Beck’s Tuesday broadcast, covered here at The Blaze.
  • Weaken: Faith, youth, heritage, traditions and community must be torn from asunder. Beck recalled that, growing up, people who sat on opposite sides of the political fence rarely if ever fought the way they do now. “Now, [the mindset is] you can’t even do business together unless you voted for my guy!,” he exclaimed. When Easter becomes nothing more than a chocolate egg and nativities are forbidden from being displayed at Christmas, people’s faiths and traditions are washed away from view.
  • Confuse the Concept of Right vs Wrong: We see this daily in the myriad instances of double standards and moral equivalency.
  • Bring Everything to a State of Near-Crisis

Phase II:

Beck said that we are now in Phase II of this transformation and while Phase I took 100 years to complete, Phase II can achieve its mission at lightening speed. Below are the steps:

  • Allow Chaos: According to Beck, this is the point the country is currently experiencing. The government now allows and encourages people to rise up. Leftist lawmakers’ treatment and encouragement of the Occupy movement is one example of how chaos is being fostered here at home. An instance when this has occurred abroad was when the U.S government encouraged Egyptians to rise up and overthrow Hosni Mubarak.
  • Enforce Negative Stereotypes: Beck explained that enforcing stereotypes is why the Tea Party is regularly attacked but the Occupy movement is not. Another stereotype frequently reinforced is that “white people are hate mongers” and racists, or faith-seekers are “backwards” and closed-minded.
  • Isolate, Destroy, and Discourage “Truth”: This is perhaps why many who speak out against progressivism are targeted for either condemnation or outright “red-flagging” (which will be discussed in greater detail during Phase III).
  • Encourage Reckless Habits: The government doesn’t want Americans to be self-reliant, thus it encourages people to engage in self-destructive behaviors. When enough reckless habits are perpetuated on a regular basis by the general population, the general population will find itself in need of help. Where will they turn for help? The government. Beck asked why he is dubbed “crazy” for telling people to prepare and become independent. He reminded that, like most parents take steps to prevent becoming a burden on their children, so, too, should Americans of all age-groups. “How is it suddenly insane to do what our parents have showed us to be noble?” Beck asked rhetorically.
  • Remain in Shadows

Phase III: Political System X

  • Grab Control to “Protect”: Citizens will eventually need protection from the very chaos and crisis they themselves were encouraged to perpetuate. This is when government will protect us from ourselves.
  • “Liquidate” Those who Oppose or Have Served Their Purpose: Beck posited that if the left has not been able to silence or corrupt you by Phase II, Phase III will be the time in which they silence you for good. At its core, Beck said that “red-flagging” is when, in a case of great crisis, the government can “shoot, detain, discredit, or do whatever [it must]” to make disappear, anyone able to rally others in opposition. This scenario has happened in many countries, notably Russia and Germany. Beck admitted that he himself has likely been red-flagged, just as outspoken religious leaders and other vocal opponents of this system likely are.
  • Activate Shadow System: This is when the current state has become unbearable and Americans begin to beg for the government’s help. One can look back to the “Night of the Long Knives,” to see when Germany fully transformed. Night of the Long Knives was the systematized execution of not only many of Hitler’s opponents, but more importantly, his own allies – the brown-shirted storm troopers of the Sturmabteilung (SA), who raided the streets of Germany ravaging all those who did not comply with the ways of the new Reich. The SA were loyal servants of the Führer, but once Hitler deemed them a threat to his own power, and they had outlived their usefulness, he ordered members of the SA be destroyed. This has been the scene, Beck reminded, in nearly every bank-robber film. At the end of the movie, members of the robbers’ “inner-circle” are turned on by their leader. This, too, will happen in Political System X. Think: “Occupy Wall Street” once it’s served its purpose.
  • Remain in Crisis Mode: Then you will always be reliant on the government.

Rubber-stamping Obama’s African War Policy

By: Cliff Kincaid
Accuracy in Media

As media-induced frenzy over African warlord Joseph Kony reaches a fever pitch, Democratic Senator Christopher Coons has introduced a resolution that seems to provide legal cover for President Obama’s deployment of U.S. combat troops to Africa. Obama ordered the military intervention last October, without the approval of Congress, saying he wanted the “removal” of Kony from “the battlefield,” wherever that may be.

Coons serves as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs.

Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) under a 2005 warrant for crimes against humanity in his native Uganda, could be anywhere in Africa or may in fact be dead. The ICC says he is “at large” while Coons says the “exact location” of Kony and his forces, who may number as few as 200-300 men or as many as several thousand, is “unknown.”

Kony is certainly a minor player compared to his reported patron, the Islamic government of Sudan, which is accused of killing more than two million civilians in the South but provides oil to the Chinese government.

“On October 14, 2011, the President notified Congress that he had authorized approximately 100 combat-equipped U.S. forces to deploy to central Africa to provide assistance to regional forces that are working toward the removal of Joseph Kony and senior LRA [Lord’s Resistance Army] commanders from the battlefield,” according to a resolution issued without comment. The resolution also highlights the ICC warrant against Kony as justification for this international action and cites efforts by the United Nations and the African Union to bring Kony to justice and address the threat posed by the LRA.

Obama, who has criticized Republicans for their alleged war-making rhetoric over Iran, believes his African adventure did not need explicit approval from Congress because the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act, passed by Congress in 2010, authorized U.S. efforts “to help mitigate and eliminate the threat posed by the LRA to civilians and regional stability.” However, it did not authorize the use of combat troops in Africa.

The resolution does not take issue with the deployment and appears to be designed, at least in part, to give it the appearance of legality and constitutionality. The Senate action comes as a “Kony 2012” video that focuses attention on the Ugandan warlord has now surpassed 84 million YouTube views.

The media have failed to question Obama’s military intervention in Africa, with Politico being one of the latest news organizations claiming that Obama had sent the 100 U.S. military troops “with Congress’ blessing.” In fact, Congress did not authorize this deployment.

“We’re in another war,” commented Andrew McCarthy on National Review online, at the time Obama announced the action. Noting that Obama had justified the deployment in the name of “our national security interests,” McCarthy rhetorically asked: “…didn’t Kony just try to rub out the Saudi ambassador or something? This’ll teach him to mess with us. Oh, he didn’t mess with us? Well, whatever—‘duty to protect,’ right?” The “duty to protect” is a U.N. doctrine justifying foreign intervention in the internal affairs of sovereign countries, supposedly to prevent atrocities.

It looks like Obama is primarily using U.S. troops to carry out the orders of the International Criminal Court, which wants Kony apprehended and put on trial. However, the ICC treaty, known as the Rome Statute, has not been approved by the U.S. Senate.

The Kony mission also seems to be part of an administration campaign through Presidential Study Directive 10 to expand U.S. military involvement in U.N.-approved missions while cutting back on those defending U.S. national interests. PSD-10 seems designed to transform the U.S. military into a vehicle for preventing atrocities, rather than fighting wars.

Senator Coons’ resolution is also sponsored by Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, a conservative who usually opposes the U.N.’s global initiatives. In this case, however, he has put a release on his website that explicitly supports “ongoing international efforts to remove Kony from the battlefield…” U.N. peacekeepers operating through the U.N. Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) and other countries have been brought into the campaign against Kony and the LRA, primarily by protecting civilians from the group.

Inhofe aide Jared Young told AIM that the senator believes the mission is justified by existing legislation and didn’t need any additional authority from Congress. He added, “Senator Inhofe does not support U.N. interference in Africa. The U.N. does not have a mandate related to Kony or the LRA, and Senator Inhofe believes that we should be helping African countries deal with African problems (that is what the current mission does). He also does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC.”

In addition to pointing to an “international obligation” to get Kony, Obama sent a letter to Congress claiming the deployment of U.S. troops was “consistent with the War Powers Resolution.” However, the War Powers Resolution says the president can go to war on his own without advance congressional approval only if there is an imminent threat to the U.S. The act also requires withdrawal of U.S. forces in 60 days.

Although Kony has been designated a “global terrorist” by the U.S. Government, he has never been blamed for any attacks on U.S. troops or civilians.

The Coons/Inhofe resolution is cosponsored by Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), Carl Levin (D-Mich.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Dan Coats (R-Ind.), Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), Mary Landrieu (D-La.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Jack Reed (D-RI), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Mark Begich (D-Alaska), Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Jeff Merkley, (D-Ore.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).

A similar resolution (H. Res. 583) was introduced in the House on March 13 by Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern and Republican Rep. Edward Royce. It justifies Obama’s deployment of troops to Africa by saying it is “consistent” with a “Strategy to Support the Disarmament of the Lord’s Resistance Army” that was developed by the Obama Administration, in response to the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act.

This 33-page strategy, however, does not authorize U.S. military force and in fact states that “United States Government assistance will be provided in a manner that is consistent with U.S. and international law…”

Obama called it an “international obligation” in an interview with ABC News but it is not backed by a U.N. Security Council Resolution.

Writing on the Lawfare blog, Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith noted that Obama claimed his deployment was “in furtherance of the Congress’s stated policy” but relied as authority for the intervention solely on his “constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.” Goldsmith added, “It will be interesting to see whether the White House consulted with congressional leadership before the intervention, and how Congress reacts.”

The results are in: many members of Congress in the House and Senate from both political parties are lining up with Obama and supporting another U.S. military intervention, which appears to be lacking justification under U.S. and international law. The latest legislative effort seems based almost completely on the power of a video whose director, Jason Russell, was himself captured on film running around the streets of San Diego shouting about the devil and pounding the pavement.

Russell is said to have experienced a mental breakdown or psychosis. However, there is no excuse for Congress failing to protect U.S. law and the Constitution from Obama’s pro-U.N. schemes.

TSA Sells 4th Amendment Protection

By: T F Stern
T F Stern’s Rantings

You read that right, TSA is now selling individuals their unalienable right that protects them from unreasonable and unwarranted searches. It will only cost $100 for the new government entitlement that permits frequent flyers to avoid having to wait in long lines, take off their shoes, expose their toiletries in a clear plastic sack or even turn on their computer at the airport. This was explained in an article which appeared in the Wall Street Journal last week; but gave the impression that folks thought this was a good thing.

“The Transportation Security Administration is rolling out expedited screening at big airports called “Precheck.” It has special lanes for background-checked travelers, who can keep their shoes, belt and jacket on, leave laptops and liquids in carry-on bags and walk through a metal detector rather than a full-body scan. The process, now at two airlines and nine airports, is much like how screenings worked before the Sept. 11 attacks.

To qualify, frequent fliers must meet undisclosed TSA criteria and get invited in by the airlines. There is also a backdoor in. Approved travelers who are in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s “Global Entry” program can transfer into Precheck using their Global Entry number.”

Precheck, well isn’t that special… (doing my best Church Lady voice from the old Saturday Night Live show). If you’ve passed the government’s rigid interview, which as the article states are “undisclosed,” then you can pay the government a hundred dollars to restore your unalienable God-given right previously covered under the Fourth Amendment.

“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.”

Do you see what is going on? We as a people have lowered our expectations and accepted the fact that our government no longer is restrained from violating our rights. The purpose for the Fourth Amendment was to acknowledge that all men have the right to be secure in their person… to be free from unreasonable searches; not just those who’ve passed some government established rule. Rather than fight them to the ground and force them to follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights, we cower and suffer their abuses; even pay them to speed the process of enslavement and think we are the better for it.

“…let us first consider the origin of those freedoms we have come to know are human rights. There are only two possible sources. Rights are either God-given as part of the Divine Plan, or they are granted by government as part of the political plan. Reason, necessity, tradition and religious convictions all lead me to accept the divine origin of these rights. If we accept the premise that human rights are granted by government, then we must be willing to accept the corollary that they can be denied by government.” Ezra Taft Benson from his talk, The Proper Role of Government.

Where are Thomas Jefferson, Ezra Taft Benson and Fredrick Bastiat, when we need them in our day? You can find them; their voices springing forth from folks like Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and other prominent conservatives who unrelentingly point out the abuse of powers by our government and bring them into focus through their daily on air messages and through their writings.

Modern day “pamphleteers” have a stake in the awakening of public opinion; but now-a-days they’re called “bloggers.” If you consider how many people are influenced by the written word as found on the Internet through social media such as Facebook or Twitter entries which contain significant political issues; are they not modern day pamphleteers? So, stick a feather in my cap and call it macaroni!

Caught On Video: Occupy Protesters Dump Container Of Human Feces, Urine In ATM Lobby

Hat Tip: BB

Breitbart.tv:

Surveillance video captured Occupy Wall Street demonstrators just before 8 p.m. on March 14 dragging large quantities of human urine and feces in containers to an open-air plaza at the corner of Nassau and Cedar Streets in Lower Manhattan, then pouring the waste down the stairs there. In a separate incident the same night, approximately 20 minutes later, one of the suspects entered a Chase ATM vestibule on Water Street and poured the human waste inside the vestibule.

According to NYPD sources: “A witness provided a license plate number of the van used to transport the waste and Jordan Brooks Amos, 25, of Philadelphia, PA its registered owner, was apprehended March 16 on Wall Street and charged with Unlawful Possession of Noxious Matter (human urine and feces) and Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of Motor Vehicle. Police also recovered a stun gun from inside the vehicle.”
