What Obama's National Emergency Can Mean

According to Sentinel Radio's Hanen, quoting the statistics of the U.S. Center for Disease Control, the h1n1 flu has, so far, caused approximately 1,000 known deaths in America and every year, approximatley, 36,000 Americans die from various influenza illnesses. Yet, Barack Obama just signed an order pronouncing the set of h1n1 illnesses extant, a "National Emergency."

So....

Why so serious?

American Daughter's Nancy Matthis represents the concerns of many Americans as they consider this question.
Seizing Power on the Weekend

Late Friday, Barack Obama declared the H1N1 virus to be a national emergency. He announced the measure on Saturday. The declaration gives him the following authority:

93d Congress
SENATE Report No. 93-549
1st Session
EMERGENCY POWERS STATUTES:….
U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
WASHINGTON: 1973

These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners. This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal Constitutional processes.

Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may: seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and, in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens….

Whenever the government wants to do something that is likely to be alarming or unpopular, it is done late on Friday night, so that the normal news cycles can be avoided. The fact that Obama did this late on a Friday night and did not announce it until the following day, a Saturday, should be sufficient warning to every American that this administration is up to no good.

Most citizens are unaware that the Constitution has long since been effectively set aside by a series of Executive Orders, which grant the sitting president sweeping dictatorial powers. As far as personal freedom is concerned, we have been living on borrowed time.

Another thing that most folk don’t realize is that elected officials have had a plan to protect themselves against armed insurrection by an outraged populace when the situation is discovered. On March 13, 2008 the U.S. House of Representatives held a secret closed door meeting, with attendees sworn to secrecy. Ostensibly to work out Electronic Surveillance of Terror Suspects, the meeting actually dealt with the possibility of civil war in the United States. Here are the details which were leaked and widely published, not in the mainstream media, but in the Blogospehre:

  1. The imminent collapse of the U.S. Economy to occur sometime in late 2008
  2. The imminent collapse of the U.S. Government finances sometime in mid 2009
  3. The possibility of Civil War inside the United States as a result of the collapse
  4. The advance round-ups of “insurgent U.S. Citizens” likely to move against the government
  5. The detention of those rounded up at The REX 84 Camps constructed throughout the United States
  6. The possibility of public retaliation against members of Congress for the collapses
  7. The location of safe facilities for members of Congress and their families to reside during massive civil unrest
  8. The necessary and unavoidable merger of The U.S. with Canada and Mexico establishing The North American Union
  9. The issuance of a new currency called the AMERO for all three nations as an economic solution.

There is little indication that Barack Obama wants to continue the Bush-initiated pursuit of the North American Union. However, it is abundantly clear that he wants to abolish personal freedoms and private enterprise to institute socialism, with a focus on an eventual global world government.

This declaration may be the trigger. And, suspiciously, it is not made in response to any actual data. CNN Health reports:

Calling the emergency declaration “an important tool in our kit going forward,” one administration official called Obama’s action a “proactive measure that’s not in response to any new development.”

Another administration official said the move is “not tied to the current case count” and “gives the federal government more power…”….

Are the sheeple prepared to succumb?

If you are an American Citizen, you are one of many individuals who are the fundamental, Sovereign Rulers of our nation. Thus, it is your responsibility to research and investigate these matters and to make your own decisions, based upon them. Remember, we have a Constitution and whether those we have entusted to only abide by it do so or not, it is squarely based upon the principles and pronouncements of the charter which originally founded the "United States of America," the Declaration of Independence. We have been warned by our founders that sometimes our freedom must be renewed and our sovereignty, re-established, if we are to continue to be authentic America. As the Declaration states, this is our "duty."

Readers may also wish to consider the recent commentary, "How Far Will Obama Go, this Fall, in the Insurrection Against America?" But remember, that was written only about this Autumn season. I.O's working assessment of Barack Obama is that he is an agent intended to bring America to its knees, economically, militarily, and in any other way which serves the purpose of it's merely becoming another part of a global, Marxofascist, controlled society. So far, the way of both the Obama campaign and administration has been to propose or initiate outlandishly threatening usurpations of power by "police action," but then, to back off and watch. Then again, such a tactic is generally preparatory.

You may also wish to read "Things to Watch for, During a 'Declared National Emergency,'" by Marion Valentine and related articles in the Sentinel Radio blog.

And remember, God rules in the affairs of men -- and He expects us to live in faith and act in faithful obedience to Him -- and He promises to bless those who do.

Lord Monckton's Bethel University Presentation, in its Entirety

The presentation of Lord Christopher Monckton, at Bethel University on Wednesday, October 14th, from beginning to end

The subject: a treaty, planned for December signing by all parties, for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- and what this really is: warfare against America, by Man-made Global Marxism -- and High Treason, planned by Barack Obama, et. al. The enemy are "transnational progressives" who are "breathing together" around the world, to bring America and Americans down, financially, militarily, politically, and in the process, to destroy our personal, "popular" sovereignty and our national sovereignty.

Yes, Virginia, there are malignant conspirators for one-world government and the controlled society and they are very far down the path of their evil plan. In fact, they control the Executive Branch and dominate at least the Legislative, in the unwalled city of Washington DC. And, they never cease in their teeming and teaming, in lower Manhattan.


Man-made Global Deceit ~ Man-made Global Mega-Theft ~ Man-made Global War

American citizens should peruse the entire presentation. Everyone in this world who cares about freedom, should look and listen with full attention applied.

Then, it is time to very quickly decide how to apply ourselves to win this particular battle -- preferably, before December 7, and to win this entire war for the the authentic America of, by, and for its free and Sovereign American Citizens.

On this Monday night's net-cast of "The Awakening," on Sentinel Radio, our special guest will be Jared Law. Mr. Law is primary coordinator for The 9/12 Project, founded by Glenn Beck. He will join a small panel, to help us find our answers to the question, "What do we do now?"

Thank you, Lord Monckton and the Minnesota Free Market Institute.

Lord Monckton Live on Net-Radio, Thursday 10/22, Noon ET, Host: Wiley Drake, Panel Includes Guests & Host of "The Awakening"

Lord Christopher Monckton, the former science advisor to Margaret Thatcher who, one week ago, blew the cover off the conspiratorial, globalist sovereignty grab of the proposed "Climate Change Treaty," will be interviewed by Wiley Drake, Thursday, 10/22 at Noon, ET. If Barack Obama signs that treaty this December, the abrogation of our national sovereignty to a foreign governing body of the U.N. would be an act of national sabotage and civil war, by an anti-American, American regime. We must stop it, by applying all the constitutional, non-violent power, that We, the People hold.

The program will be net-cast on Crusade Radio and is available for pick-up, live or otherwise, by other media. Link to the site of this net-cast:


Lord Monckton will be the principle speaker for at least thirty minutes and the program will open to invited panelists. Regular listeners to "The Awakening" will be familiar with five invitees: Walter S. Hudson, James Simpson, Markham Robinson, Allan Erickson, and myself. All indicate their attendance.

Walter Hudson is the man who broke the Lord Monckton story last week on his blog, Fightin' Words and he has since done further key research and reporting (check for the latest). James Simpson featured this burgeoning national crisis shortly thereafter, in his examiner.com story, "Obama to Surrender US Sovereignty at UN Global Warming Conference." Allan Erickson has also covered this story and has expanded upon it with his new post, "The Case of Dr. Richard Lindzen," (MIT climatologist).

This past Monday, Walter Hudson was our guest on "The Awakening," while the program also replayed an informative interview of Lord Monckton by Glenn Beck from earlier that afternoon.

This Isn’t Change, It’s Treason

by Jayme Evans

There used to be a time in this country, not that long ago, when, despite our religious, cultural and societal differences, there were at least a few basic tenets upon which we, as Americans, could all agree. We could locate our borders, we spoke a common language and shared a common understanding of our Founders and constitutionalism. There was no confusion over what constituted acts of heroism and patriotism. Conversely, we also understood and clearly recognized, evil, greed, treason and hypocrisy.

But, alas, the beloved country that was so united in my youth has become a cesspool of unabated and accelerating filth, selfishness, decadence and immorality. The scoundrels that supposedly represent us don’t even have the decency to tell us the truth, read the laws they use to enslave us or listen to our objections.

Some, including myself, have described what Obama and his Socialists are up to as as bloodless coup. But, after further evaluation of what’s really going on behind the scenes in Washington, I have come to an even more alarming conclusion: What they are doing is committing legislative jihad.

Socialists have declared jihad on our economic prosperity. The stinkulus was a failure: The jobs it did create came at astronomical cost or simply grew the bureaucracy. Government now controls major players in several sectors of the economy with no signs of easing that control. Government spending now comprises alarming percentages of our Gross Domestic Product. We’ve ran out of money, we’ve essentially accumulated over 100 trillion dollars in unfunded future entitlements, foreclosures have accelerated and we continue to bleed jobs. Add to the mix, health care, one sixth of the entire US economy, and it doesn’t take an economist to see where Democrats are taking us.

Socialists have declared jihad on the US dollar. They have printed or borrowed their way into such a deep hole, and have devalued our currency to such an extent, that other countries are now worried about our economic sustainability and have quietly called for oil to be traded in other currencies. Obama’s redistributionist policies increase the danger. The more dollars we simply pump into circulation out of thin air to give to the less fortunate in the form of subsidies, $250.00 stimulus checks, credits for homes, vehicles or appliances, the further our purchasing power erodes. And, the further they drive us into insolvency, the louder they carp for additional spending. If Barack Obama doesn’t stop spending, the dollars in your wallets, purses and bank accounts will be worth less than the ink used to print them.

Socialists have declared jihad on the Constitution and attack on several fronts: Barack Obama still fights the release of any personal information, despite increasing questions over a possible foreign birth and his media lackeys continue to bury the controversy and scrub references to it from websites. The TARP program was unconstitutional, as was directing TARP funds to auto companies, allowing both Congress and their union lapdogs to bail out their pension funds, while the Supreme Court took a nap. I also question the constitutionality of compulsory health care. This would be the first time in US history, that Americans would be forced to purchase something.

In a Nixonian twist, Socialists have declared jihad on the First Amendment rights of Fox News, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage and many other Americans in feeble attempts to silence them. They illegally collected the email addresses and illegally accessed the records of private citizens in an attempt to intimidate them. Like impudent little children, they’ve blurred the distinction between hard news and opinion. They refuse to engage skeptics on Fox, which only deepens resentment, wastes an opportunity and hurts their cause. Silencing the opposition is Stalinist. It is un-American. It won’t work, it could result in civil rights litigation and will only rally support for the opposition.

The Socialists have declared jihad on our sovereignty. They’ve declared their intent at Amnesty for a deluge of illegal aliens as soon as the other dozen or so manufactured crises ease a bit. Obama also narcissistically accepted what is now an irrelevant piece of European attic trash, the Nobel Peace Prize, despite his own admission he didn’t deserve it. Obama has also continued to denigrate us internationally, apologizing and capitulating to Russia, China, the UN and other European snobocracies. At the same time, he has openly snubbed some of our most steadfast allies, Canada, Israel, Czechoslovakia and Poland.

The Socialists have declared jihad on the CIA and continue to weaken, hamper and demoralize our clandestine services through power grabs, investigations and threats of public disclosure, which would actually put covert agents in danger.

The Socialists have declared jihad on Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and state’s rights by trying to strip him of his power to enforce the law within his own jurisdiction because they don’t like his no nonsense style.

The Socialists have declared jihad on insurance companies. Despite the mountain of BS they’ve built over the practical effects of their “reforms”, an objective observer can only conclude that the private insurance market will be destroyed and government will then step in and take control. Claims of the Baucus’ Bill’s “deficit neutrality”, which used only one year’s worth of calculations, were complete lies, yet paved the way for a vote that ultimately advanced this garbage.

The Socialists have declared jihad on the Middle Class. Health care reform won’t cover “everyone”, deficit neutrality is a smokescreen and your premiums and taxes must skyrocket to pay for it. Why would government need to subsidize health care for those earning over $50,000.00 per annum? Because those people are going to need it. Cap and Trade is a tax on your very existence and will further kill jobs, raise taxes, destroy small businesses and hike the production costs of virtually everything in existence.

The Socialists have declared jihad on the truth. They’ve promised sunlight. They’ve promised ethics. They’ve promised transparency. They’ve promised to post legislative text and give us time to review it. They’ve delivered squat. Obama fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin for allegedly getting too close to the truth and then his minions painted Walpin as senile. His lapdogs in government, media and academia bury everything negative, scrub websites of damaging info, put impostors in lab coats for press conferences, indoctrinate children and they’ve openly admitted they don’t even read the legislation they oppress us with. They draft 1,000 page bills they themselves can’t even understand. And, sadly, Barack Obama isn’t even man enough to take responsibility for his own actions, still blaming the previous administration for his job-killing agenda and every other problem he faces. Perhaps we should begin reversing every one of Obama’s Executive Orders, scrutinize his every decision and investigate his Attorney General and his three dozen Czars the moment he leaves office? That seems to be the precedent he wants to set with this chicanery.

The Socialists have declared jihad on the US. military. They tried but failed to force a premature withdrawal in Iraq and they’re attempting, and may succeed in doing the same thing in Afghanistan. While they dither, US combat forces continue to die in unacceptable numbers and treasonous snakes in Congress divert money meant for ammunition and spare parts to a library for one of the nation’s most divisive dead senators and other pet pork projects. Eventually, if allowed, Democrats will force open homosexuality on the military, affecting readiness, destroying unit cohesion and morale and causing a mass exodus.

The Socialists have declared jihad on race relations. Who can forget Obama’s ignorant, irresponsible and utterly wrong comments about the infamous Gates/Crowley affair? Criticizing this Socialist muckraker for anything, even policy, has now been equated to racism. Who, in their right mind, will ever vote for another black president, if even their policies are above criticism?

What I have presented above is a damning indictment of the tyrannical power power structure and Chicago mob-mentality that is destroying this nation from within. And, this only scratches the surface. What Obama and liberal Democrats are doing isn’t change. He doesn’t love this country and he isn’t interested in equal opportunity, only equal outcome. He is a closet Marxist who hates this country and must transform it into something else . If he was being honest and open about his beliefs, that would be one thing. But, he ran as a moderate. What he’s doing is dishonest. It’s hypocritical. It’s criminal. It’s treason. It’s sedition.

So, the question then becomes what do you do about it? Do you, as an American, roll over and allow them to destroy your country or do you stand and resist?

Every living veteran who served to preserve our way of life; all 26 million of you must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every active duty military officer, who objects to his social experimentation and battlefield indecision must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every single police officer ordered to profile domestic terror suspects based on possession of a political bumper sticker or concealed carry permit must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every single American asked to tank business deals or destroy someone’s livelihood through litigation, intimidation or invasions of privacy, like so many have done to Americans like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Carrie Prejean, Joe Wuzelbacher, Hannah Giles, must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every single God-Fearing Christian, tired of the attacks on your religion, tired of the suppression of your freedom to assemble, tired of the silencing of your prayers and destruction of your monuments must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every single politician and other government official throughout local, state, and federal governments, who believes that the constitution and the Rule of law trumps the Cult of Personality must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

Every single voter who puts their trust in this man and now feels betrayed, must resist Barack Obama’s agenda.

There is still time to save this great nation, but the clock is ticking. The pace of the socialist takeover is accelerating. The time for complacency and standing on the sidelines is gone. Richard Nixon resigned and Bill Clinton was impeached for far less.

Lord Monckton's Blogger, plus MissTickly - 2 Bombshells on The Awakening (Archived from Monday 10/19, 9-11pm ET)

Live, Monday evening and still available, via archive -- click the widget below, or go to: the "Awakening" page to listen and chat, here.

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT STORIES OF THE YEAR ?!

WALTER HUDSON is the blogger who witnessed, recorded, and broke the news of LORD MONCKTON's siren call for our paramount American Sovereignties, under attack by the "Climate Change Treaty." We will listen to Mr. Hudson and to Lord Monckton's brief conclusion, hour-1.

Then, MissTICKLY may have found evidence tending to indicate that
(please take a deep breath) Barack Obama is the son of cousins, Stanley Ann Dunham and Frank Marshall Davis -- and Hawaiian royalty -- perhaps heir to the Hawaiian throne. If true, this would imply criminal fraud by Obama.

Don't miss these two hours. You may wish to prepare first, by reading Hudson's posting in Sentinel Radio Blog and Mr. Hudson's own Fightin' Words. The video of Monckton's messege is at these sites, too.

MissTickly, a.k.a. TerriK continues to break the news of her Hawaiian documents investigation in her blog as she did in last week's "Awakening" broadcast. The prior week, Leo Donofrio told us about his own, related, Hawaiian investigation.

The conclusion of Lord Monckton's Bethel University presentation:

Surrender of US Sovereignty at UN Global Warming Conference, Copenhagen, December - James Simpson Reports

This article begins below. See Simpson's entire article, with its very pertinent links, on its examiner.com page.
Obama to Surrender US Sovereignty at UN Global Warming Conference

Not content with his humiliation at Copenhagen, Denmark this past September, President Obama will be traveling there again in December to attend the UN COP15 Climate Change Conference. This agreement would commit the United States to punitive and expensive greenhouse gas regulations dictated by the United Nations without recourse.

COP stands for "Conference of the Parties" and the December Copenhagen conference will be the 15th under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), hence COP15. According to their website, it will be one of the largest conferences ever held outside the New York or Geneva headquarters, with an anticipated attendance of over 10,000 people, including governmental representatives from 189 countries, industry groups, and other non-governmental organizations.

The theme of the December 7 - 18 conference is "Hope," so perhaps Mr. Obama will have more luck this time. Instead of soliciting the International Olympic Committee with trite clichés and no payoffs, he will be doing something much easier: selling out our country. After all, ceding power, relinquishing billions in U.S. tax dollars and destroying U.S. economic competitiveness is a pretty easy sell to the countries that will benefit, and he has had a lot of practice doing the same thing here at home. He will have a hard time screwing this one up.

The Hope site optimistically pronounces:
On 7 December, leaders from 192 countries gather for UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen and decide the fate of our planet...
Decide the fate of our planet... Do these people have any idea how mindlessly grandiose they sound? Of course not. They are out to save the planet, just like Nancy Pelosi! It is hard for a normal person to imagine making such proclamations without embarrassment. But this is today's political class.

This agreement will cede U.S. sovereignty permanently and irrevocably to the United Nations. So says British Lord Christopher Monckton at an event at Bethel University in St Paul, Minnesota this past Wednesday, October 14th.

Lord Monckton was former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's science advisor. He has lectured and written extensively on the issue, including an in-depth scientific critique to the 50,000 member American Physical Society, a serious side-by-side comparison slap-down of Al Gore's global warming assertions, and a recent summary of the global warming issue. In introducing his topic at Bethel University, he states unequivocally:
...and I am going to show you the latest science, which now doesn’t leave the question unsettled any more, this is now settled science, it is now settled science that there is not a problem with our influence over the climate. The science is in, the truth is out, and the scare is over.
You can watch his entire 1 hour 35 minute presentation here - well worth the time if you can spare it. The slideshow he frequently points to in this presentation can be viewed along with the video, here. Lord Monckton presents a series of statistics, charts and studies showing not only convincing evidence that global warming is insignificant - if it exists at all - likely not manmade, and more importantly, that the global warming alarmists have repeatedly, blatantly, deliberately lied, suppressing the real story to promote the myth.

Despite his effective refutation of manmade global warming, his closing remarks about the Copenhagen treaty are chilling:

Sarah Palin: Good Intentions Aren't Enough with Health Care Reform

Sarah Palin weighs in on the Baucus bill for fascist come Marxist healthcare control. She does not fail to address Barack Obama and what we should characterize as his deceit and destructiveness. Photos added by I.O.

by Gov. Sarah Palin, 10/17/2009, 10:57pm CT

Now that the Senate Finance Committee has approved its health care bill, it’s a good time to step back and take a look at the long term consequences should its provisions be enacted into law.

The bill prohibits insurance companies from refusing coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and from charging sick people higher premiums. [1] It attempts to offset the costs this will impose on insurance companies by requiring everyone to purchase coverage, which in theory would expand the pool of paying policy holders.

However, the maximum fine for those who refuse to purchase health insurance is $750. [2] Even factoring in government subsidies, the cost of purchasing a plan is much more than $750. The result: many people, especially the young and healthy, will simply not buy coverage, choosing to pay the fine instead. They’ll wait until they’re sick to buy health insurance, confident in the knowledge that insurance companies can’t deny them coverage. Such a scenario is a perfect storm for increasing the cost of health care and creating an unsustainable mandate program.

Those driving this plan no doubt have good intentions, but good intentions aren’t enough. There were good intentions behind the drive to increase home ownership for lower-income Americans, but forcing financial institutions to give loans to people who couldn’t afford them had terrible unintended consequences. We all felt those consequences during the financial collapse last year. Unintended consequences always result from top-down big government plans like the current health care proposals, and we can’t afford to ignore that fact again.

Supposedly the Senate Finance bill will be paid for by cutting Medicare by nearly half a trillion dollars and by taxing the so-called “Cadillac” health care plans enjoyed by many union members. The plan will also impose heavy taxes on insurers, pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, and clinical labs. [3] The result of all of these taxes is clear. As Douglas Holtz-Eakin noted in the Wall Street Journal, these new taxes “will be passed on to consumers by either directly raising insurance premiums, or by fueling higher health-care costs that inevitably lead to higher premiums.” [4] Unfortunately, it will lead to lower wages too, as employees will have to sacrifice a greater percentage of their paychecks to cover these higher premiums. [5] In other words, if the Democrats succeed in overhauling health care, we’ll all bear the costs. The Senate Finance bill is effectively a middle class tax increase, and as Holtz-Eakin points out, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation those making less than $200,000 will be hit hardest. [6]

With our country’s debt and deficits growing at an alarming rate, many of us can’t help but wonder how we can afford a new trillion dollar entitlement program. The president has promised that he won’t sign a health care bill if it “adds even one dime to our deficit over the next decade.” [7] But his administration also promised that his nearly trillion dollar stimulus plan would keep the unemployment rate below 8%. [8] Last month, our employment rate was 9.8%, the highest it’s been in 26 years. [9] At first the current administration promised that the stimulus would save or create 3 to 4 million jobs. [10] Then they declared that it created 1 million jobs, but the stimulus reports released this week showed that a mere 30,083 jobs have been created, while nearly 3.4 million jobs have been lost since the stimulus was passed. [11] Should we believe the administration’s claims about health care when their promises have proven so unreliable about the stimulus?

In January 2008, presidential candidate Obama promised not to negotiate behind closed doors with health care lobbyists. In fact, he committed to “broadcasting those negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are. Because part of what we have to do is enlist the American people in this process. And overcoming the special interests and the lobbyists...” [12] However, last February, after serving only a few weeks in office, President Obama met privately at the White House with health care industry executives and lobbyists. [13] Yesterday, POLITICO reported that aides to President Obama and Democrat Senator Max Baucus met with corporate lobbyists in April to help “set in motion a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign, primarily financed by industry groups, that has played a key role in bolstering public support for health care reform.” [14] Needless to say, their negotiations were not broadcast on C-SPAN for the American people to see.

Presidential candidate Obama also promised that he would not “sign any nonemergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House Web site for five days.” [15] PolitiFact reports that this promise has already been broken three times by the current administration. [16] We can only hope that it won’t be broken again with health care reform.

All of this certainly gives the appearance of politics-as-usual in Washington with no change in sight.

Americans want health care reform because we want affordable health care. We don’t need subsidies or a public option. We don’t need a nationalized health care industry. We need to reduce health care costs. But the Senate Finance plan will dramatically increase those costs, all the while ignoring common sense cost-saving measures like tort reform. Though a Congressional Budget Office report confirmed that reforming medical malpractice and liability laws could save as much as $54 billion over the next ten years, tort reform is nowhere to be found in the Senate Finance bill. [17]

Here’s a novel idea. Instead of working contrary to the free market, let’s embrace the free market. Instead of going to war with certain private sector companies, let’s embrace real private-sector competition and allow consumers to purchase plans across state lines. Instead of taxing the so-called “Cadillac” plans that people get through their employers, let’s give individuals who purchase their own health care the same tax benefits we currently give employer-provided health care recipients. Instead of crippling Medicare, let’s reform it by providing recipients with vouchers so that they can purchase their own coverage.

Now is the time to make your voices heard before it’s too late. If we don’t fight for the market-oriented, patient-centered, and result-driven reform plan that we deserve, we’ll be left with the disastrous unintended consequences of the plans currently being cooked up in Washington.

Anita Dunn's "Favorite Political Philospher" is Mao, Glenn Beck on FoxNews; Obama Quoted Mao for Inspiration Before Election - Updated

See bottom of this post, for the fuller video presentation by Glenn Beck, of the Anita Dunn video

As Posted 10/15/2009, 4:07pm+
This video is from tonight's Glenn Beck program. It is an address by Anita Dunn, now White House Communications Director, to graduating high school students, on June 5, 2009. According to her own words, a special, "favorite political philosopher" of Ms. Dunn is...


...Chairman Mao, the Communist mass enslaver, mega-thief of land and other properties, and of course, classic Marxist mega-liar. This is Mao Zedong, the Marxist who surpasses Stalin and Hitler in atrocity deaths with 60,000,000. Dunn actually goes as far as granting Mao effective moral equivalence with... Mother Theresa.

Anita Dunn is the designated White House hound assigned to chase after and discredit Fox News. Beck: "...the enemy is not only inside the gates, it is inside the house." Mao seems to be a special favorite of numerous figures in the present White Household, including perhaps, its chief resident, Mr. Obama. There is more to come about this (here, as well as on Mr. Beck's program). In the mean time, you may wish to see this old posting in I.O., made on Election Day:

Obama's "righteous wind" quotes Mao, gives a nod

fm. robboyce.com blog:

Obama:

I feel like we got a righteous wind at our backs here, but we’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to struggle. We’re going to have to fight

From the writings of Chairman Mao:

The ill wind of opportunism is falling, the righteous wind of socialism is on the rise.

By the end of this year the victory of socialism will be greatly assured. Naturally there will be many struggles ahead and we must struggle hard.

IOW, "keep the faith while I spout centrist American campaign drivel, my neo-Marxist boosters."
In November of 2008, I verified that this quotation was documented on the page to which it links. You may notice that this has since been "scrubbed" from it's online site. Here is one of many of Obama's "righteous wind" references, in his home-stretch speeches, oft delivered before the general election.


Incidentally, in those speeches, the promise with which Obama was typically concluding, at the point when this video's whooper was whooping, was, "... together, we are [n] days from fundamentally changing America." Do you remember getting angry when you heard him say that?

The greater Beck video should be posted when it becomes available. Hat tip to Hanen for finding the video above, and the YouTuber, OEyeCu812, for quckly grabbing its broadcast.

'America for Sale,' by Jerome Corsi: Documenting the Theft & the Treason; Interviewed by Hannity

Sean Hannity featured this interview with Jerome Corsi on his Tuesday, 10/13/2009, Fox News broadcast. Mr. Corsi's book appears to shine the headlights down the road. I.O. hopes he documents well. The plan is to subject America to transnational control, while redistributing Americans' wealth throughout the world. And this is actual, criminal theft, to a scale that makes Bernie Madoff's work microscopic by comparison. This is also, actual, criminal treason. This is also, actual warfare.
...Barack Obama is a globalist... ...[they] want to level the U.S. economy... ...destroying the dollar... ...our sovereignty would be subject to the dictates of the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the U.N.... ...I quote, page by page, out of George Soros' writings... ...agreements have been signed that undermine the dollar... ..the Obama administration has gone along with this globalism... ...What I show is President Obama is post-American... ...Zbignew Brzezinski... ...Joseph Stiglitz... ...saying no to a global "new deal"... ...we need to be in an international environment, but not to the detriment of U.S. sovereignty...




Dr. Corsi's emphasizing of the word, sovereignty is quite apt. That is the philosophical focal point of the systematic war in which we find ourselves. But not only has our national sovereignty been under continuous attack, also, our popular sovereignty, i.e., not a pseudo-sovereignty of the collective, but the authentic sovereignty of the individual American citizen.

See the recent I.O. post, "World - Behold your Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 2009" and the treason becomes clearer. Search "George Soros" in this site, for a short-cut to more.

Anti-American Insurrectionists Blogroll; New in Investigating Obama

In addition to articles, Investigating Obama seeks to be a portal for all things Soros/Obama/Pelosi--global--Marxofascist--insurrection. Well... not all things. That is not possible, but hopefully, it skims some of the most important things. I'll state that again, for the more scanning and flitting eyes to notice, with your indulgence:

I.O. is meant to be a portal, if you want it to be.

You may wish to check into the I.O. Sidebar daily. I intend to unclutter it a bit, for that purpose.

The new Anti-American Insurrectionists blogroll should be helpful, for filling some gaps and especially for hearing right from the "transnational progressives'" mouths. These are the people who both conspire and overtly plan and execute their plans, to...

...destroy authentic, free American civilization...

...the "American experiment," founded as its founders solemnly attested, under Divine Providence, that is, and all, for the sake of their horrendously tragic ends of the globally controlled society, a.k.a. the "Open Society." We should keep track of them, eh?

This blogroll will be featured at the top of the sidebar for a day or two, then put in a sensible place, down the column.

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


Strand 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.

World - Behold your Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, 2009

Dire warnings of the crippling of America, as a senator & presidential candidate;
The global plan for 'success,' with an America crippled, as president
.


Barack Obama, chosen practitioner of the strategy and tactics of nation raider, George Soros, champion of the "Open Society" has been successful, so far.

Open Society? -- i.e., formerly sovereign nations opened up for centrally planned globalist control. For this "transnational progressive" plan to succeed, its proponents postulate that America must be severely weakened. That means your personal sovereignty, your livelihood, your self-reliance, your freedom, and America's national sovereignty -- lost.

Update ~ Along with this video, I suggest the 10/14/2009 I.O. post, "'America for Sale,' by Jerome Corsi: Documenting the Destruction; Interviewed by Hannity."

'Quo Warranto for 'Interested Persons'' - Leo Donofrio; Plus Related Items: Are You 'Interested?'

Constitutional lawyer, Leo Donofrio and constitutional journalist, John Charlton have weighed in, on the question of jurisdiction for federal quo warranto petitions for District of Columbia office holders (including those which may question their eligibility - and in case our Attorney General is reading, no pun is intended for the word "holder," yet).

This is of import to the eligibility case, Barnett, et. al., v. Obama, et. al. In addition to this Donofrio article, see references at bottom, for further context, both in history and in present ramifications.

Quo Warranto for 'Interested Persons'

by Leo Donofrio, 10/9/2009

Section 16-3503 of the federal quo warranto statute allows an “interested person” to approach the DC District Court concerning a quo warranto trial (by jury) without requiring the permission of the US Attorney General or the US Attorney for DC.

An “interested person” may sign a “certified complaint” which states facts and those facts must be sworn to under penalty of perjury. Only facts may be sworn to, not allegations. The “interested person” gathers up all facts known to him/her and puts them in the petition, swears to them under oath and hands that in to the Court. Pretty simple, folks.

One fact which could safely be sworn to is that Obama was governed by the British Nationality Act of 1948 and that he was – at birth – a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies. These are facts admitted by Obama. These facts have never been laid before the DC District Court. These facts are not in the complaint before Judge Carter. Why not?

16-3503 states:

If the Attorney General or United States attorney refuses to institute a quo warranto proceeding on the request of a person interested, the interested person may apply to the court by certified petition for leave to have the writ issued. When, in the opinion of the court, the reasons set forth in the petition are sufficient in law, the writ shall be allowed to be issued by any attorney, in the name of the United States, on the relation of the interested person…

Plaintiffs in Barnett v. Obama allege that they have standing which is unique and special compared to the public at large. Therefore, they should have availed themselves of 16-3503.

But they’ve never even tried.

Plaintiffs have only attempted to avail themselves of 16-3502. All citizens are considered “third persons” under 16-3502, but all citizens don’t have unique standing and therefore 16-3502 requires permission by the Department of Justice to use the name of the US – ex relator – ina quo warranto proceeding.

But if you are an “interested person” under 16-3503 – aka a person with unique standing – then you do not need permission from the Department of Justice for the quo warranto.

The DC District Court examines the certified petition prior to allowing the suit to go forth based upon that petition. If the court is satisfied that the person issuing the petition is an “interested person” then that person is not needed any longer for the trial.

Once the name of the United States is allowed to be used, the “interested person” may step off, and the facts alleged are to be tried independently. For example, facts concerning what makes the President ineligible have nothing to do with the particular plaintiffs in Barnett v. Obama. So there’s no need for them to travel across the country for the trial. The trial is brought against the alleged usurper in the name of the United States.

There’s nothing stopping the plaintiffs from petitioning the DC District Court right now based upon facts known and verifiable as to the President’s British birth.

Why has this option been ignored? 16-3503 provides an excellent chance for review of these facts. There it is. Why not use it? A golden opportunity is being thrown by the way side.

Either the DC District Court will agree that these military persons are “interested persons” or it will not. Either the DC District Court will agree that 2008 Presidential candidate Alan Keyes is an “interested person” or it will not.

If the DC District Court does not agree that these plaintiffs are “interested persons” under the statute, then plaintiffs can make the same arguments they are making now before Judge Carter.

I don’t see any tactical advantage at all in avoiding the DC District Court.

Why give one of your tickets away for free? Why give away your best ticket for free? Why not avail yourself of the very statute created by Congress to review the eligibility of all US national office holders?

Doing so also avoids “political question doctrine” issues because the quo warranto statute is a congressional exercise of Constitutional authority to review the President’s eligibility. Why not kill two birds with one stone? Also, all arguments that a quo warranto action is too late now that he’s been sworn in are just patently bogus.

Quo warranto can only be invoked against somebody holding an office under false title.

Quo warranto only applies to actual usurpation not possible usurpation. It is the legislature’s sole enactment which allows judicial review of the President’s eligibility. And it appears that serious attempts are being made to avoid it. Before going off point and trying to force this issue upon courts which have not been given such authority, an action should have been brought – and still can be – under 16-3503.

Look people, I’m trying to help. Read this over a few times until it sinks in.

Leo C. Donofrio, Citizen Attorney - http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com

Copyright 2009

This article follows Mr. Donofrio's Natural Born Citizen piece, "Judge Carter Does Not have Subject Matter Jurisdiction for Quo Warranto in Barnett v. Obama." There, he muses over the ostensible failure of Obama's personal Department of Justice representation (personal DoJ representation? - what nation is this?) in their not citing the most relevant case, to demonstrate inappropriate jurisdiction. That case is State of Wisconsin v. First Federal Savings and Loan Association.

In The Post & Email, John Charlton analyzes the Wisconsin decision and this underscores the validity of Donfrio's point: "The 7th Circuit Court's Argument Against Quo Warranto's Use - and its Applicability to Barnett vs. Obama." At the same time, he would be reaching a bit, to find any other valid, quo warranto path. A path must be made, potentially via the People's petition for redress of grievances, where government has not already provided a path for constitutional rights and powers to be maintained. However, as Donofrio described, a sensible path has been provided.

Why so Wisconsin-less?

This is a strategically important question, indeed. DoJ attorneys do not fail to find cases cataloged as being those, most directly relevant. And this question is particularly, painfully relevant for those who seriously consider the little daydream: What if this Orly Taitz case were, somehow, set up to be Obama's "chosen one," for the doing of his Marxofascist insurrection's bidding?

Do Obama (and his "transnational progressive" web of string pullers) want eligibility cases brought to a head... in this particular case... in its particular, scheduled time? If so, why?

But, perhaps the most important questions here, are these:
  • Do we who seek the authentic, constitutional America, wish to petition the court constitutionally, in the District of Columbia?
  • Is this the appropriate move to make, at this time?
  • Are some willing to take the lead before Orly Taitz does, this time?
  • As the Soros-Obama-Pelosi revolution continues to destroy America, chiefly through violently and steadily draining our economy, is there any time to waste?
Leo Donofrio discussed this quo warranto quandary at the end of the first hour, of his Monday 10/5 interview, on "The Awakening," hosted by yours truly. The rest of the discussion focused upon the new Hawaiian investigations of Barack Obama's birth certificate and related documents, subject to Hawaii's open access law.
