Communists Integrate with Obama's 'Organizing for America;' Plan Obama/Democrat Comeback in November 2010

posted at KeyWiki & New Zeal, 6/11/2010

Excerpts from a special report to the recent 29th National Convention of the Communist Party USA, by Joelle Fishman. Joelle Fishman role in the Communist Party's Political Action Commission, which gives her responsibility for organizing Party support for "progressive" Democratic Party candidates at the state, congressional, senate and presidential level. She is also, incidentally, the daughter - in - law of late Soviet spy, Victor Perlo

Fishman acknowledges that the Communist Party supported Barack Obama in 2008 - though certainly not for the first time.

The 2010 elections are at the center of the struggle for working class relief from economic crisis, poverty, inequality and environmental devastation. Why? Because this election will either solidify the progressive breakthrough of 2008, or send the country reeling backward. Barack Obama's election as president was a victory won by an amazing broad alliance of which we were a part. Our contribution focused on building unity, challenging racism and expanding voter participation.

She then quotes party chairman Sam Webb and goes on to stress the pivotal nature of the 2010 mid - term elections.

This was an extraordinary expression of political independence from the extreme right wing. As Sam's report reminds us, five years ago our major battle was entirely on the defensive under George W. Bush. The question of how we expand and build on this political independence has been a big part of the pre-convention discussion.

The 2010 mid-term elections represent the next step of our continuing project to decisively defeat the extreme right-wing and expand democratic rights, including ridding the federal government of entrenched corporate interests. All 435 House seats and a third of senate seats are up for election. A shift of 45 seats in the House and six in the senate would give Republicans the majority. Top battleground states for the Senate are California, Florida, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. We are up against a rabid right-wing that refuses to accept the election of the first Black president.

Republicans in Congress thought they could bring down the presidency by blocking health care reform. The Tea Party was birthed by media extremists and racist elements to break up the unity of 2008. They were able to change the debate and peel off some Democratic votes, but they were not able to stop the legislation. Newt Gingrich is attempting to frame the 2010 elections with a new Contract on America to whip up hysteria that government spending for social needs is against the interests of working people.

This election is about the ability of families and youth to make it through this economic crisis. In the first place it is about the federal government investing in job creation targeted to the highest poverty areas with training for displaced workers and young people. It is about relief for cities and towns, education and youth programs, housing and health care. Working people are angry and searching for solutions. Voters' anger can be turned into collective action for a pro-worker agenda or it can become manipulated by right-wing populism. So far there are examples of both taking place.

Our focus is on building up the strength of the labor movement, racially oppressed, women, youth along with LGBT, environment and peace allies as part of the broad electoral alliance This goes beyond any one election to the need for organizing a lasting movement and building working class leadership in our country that can reorder priorities and change foreign policy.

Fishman then goes on to trumpet the successes of the labor movement in countering the "Tea Party" movement, the Republicans and "moderate" Democrats.

The election of President Obama opened a door. The challenge to us and the labor and people's organizations is to walk through that door in the millions with mass struggle for jobs and relief. The anger of workers was turned into unity against the financial institutions in big mass actions during May Day week. Joint labor - immigrant rights marches and civil disobedience protests against the Arizona law represent the kind of unity that can increase workers' strength in the elections and improve the balance in Congress.

In Western Pennsylvania, Republicans poured $10 million into capturing the seat that was held by Rep John Murtha, but they did not succeed. Workers responded to the message of their unions. They rejected slanders against Democrat Mark Critz and attacks on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama.

A strong challenge to conservative Democrat Arkansas Sen Blanche Lincoln has forced her into a runoff election after she voted against health care reform. This campaign shows it is possible to enlarge the number of Democrats in the Congressional Progressive, Black, Hispanic and Asian Pacific caucuses and change the dynamics against the ultra-right within Congress.

Yet the Tea Party is making in-roads within the Republican primaries, spreading their poison with big money at their disposal. Richard Trumka's leadership of the AFL-CIO is providing clarity and maintaining unity by showing how racism hurts all workers and by exposing corporate greed.

Showing that the money is there for jobs and community needs by taxing the rich and corporations, cutting the military budget, and ending the wars is a further contribution to unity. Helping develop labor's infrastructure to educate members and bring out the vote is at the center of political independence.

This is a training ground for union leaders to run and win election to public office. It is the foundation for a future labor and people's political party. The Hill reported on a survey (5/12/10) showing 80% of people see problems with the two party system. A progressive labor and people's electoral structure like Working America, or Working Families Party must be clear and present or the only visible alternative will be the right-wing. The Communist Party must also be plainly visible on the issues, utilizing our websites, e-mail, social networking, the downloadable print edition and other materials. Each will strengthen the other. A Pew survey last week showed that half of young people think socialism is better than capitalism.

Fishman then urges the party to register and turn - out voters in the November elections.

Turnout will be key in the 2010 elections. This includes registering new voters and reaching out to voters in every area. On the weekend of June 5, Organizing for America will hold kickoff canvasses across the country to visit the 15 million first time voters who took part in the 2008 elections. Elections are won and lost in precincts, wards, election districts. Every need at the local level depends on the results of the 2010 election.

We should take a look and see in what congressional districts with key races we can bring our publications, establish a new club, or build up an existing one and participate with labor and other community groups. In a close election a few votes can make the difference. A lasting organization can make an even bigger difference. This approach can also open the door to more Communists running for public office on whatever ticket as part of grass roots coalitions.

Fishman gives two recent examples of what can be achieved by communists working through the Democratic Party , with union and "community group" support. Communist Party members Rick Nagin and Rudy Lozano, Jr. both almost won elections in Cleveland Ohio and Chicago Illinois in recent months, running as Democrats.

Rick Nagin's campaign in Cleveland last summer and the Chicago campaign at the beginning of this year were an early start to the 2010 elections. These campaigns were also walking through the door opened by the Obama election victory, projecting a people before profits approach to local issues.

Rick Nagin, center, campaigning with Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich

Fishman ends will a call to action in the weeks remaining until November.

We should revisit the initiative from our last convention and create a network of Communist and left elected officials to share problems, experiences and play a role in bringing the grass roots to the fore. Let's leave here at full speed for the 24 weeks between now and Election Day November 2, 2010.

While Fishman's party is only a few thousand strong, it has significant influence in the labor unions, the Democratic Party at all levels, churches and organizations such as ACORN and United for Peace and Justice and dozens of other many thousand strong organizations.

The Communist Party is the backbone the Democrats have long since lost.

Inspiring Message Tonight

I saw the Oval Office address tonight on Fox News. After this, I want to say that it was very refreshing to see genuine expertise, passion, and leadership, regarding our Gulf crisis, with the welfare of the people and the environment we steward in mind. Then, sadly, the time allotted to Gov. Palin was up and they went to a commercial.

Government Covering Up Crumbling Well Structure?

Without taking positions, I.O. passes this along to you, as purportedly informed speculation upon the reasons for the courses of action taken at the gusher site -- and for the ostensible cover-ups on the part of the Obama administration. And however that administration regards you, I.O. respects you enough to share this, for your joint scrutiny. It warns of a significant likelihood of worse events, yet to come at Deepwater Horizon:

http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6593/648967

While it has been common practice for embedded reporters to join even troops in battle, the news media have not been allowed access to the workings of the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command center and have even been shooed away from areas of operations. That is not very libertarian, nor democratic, for a president who would call himself a liberal Democrat. Then again, it is typical among authoritarian Marxists.

Seeing what on-the-spot reporters uncovered at NOAA in April, just after the explosion, their media crack-down is not surprising (for dishonest administrators with their own agenda). See immediate prior article in I.O.

April Video Indicates U.S. Government Aware of Much Greater Volume of Gulf Gusher; Evidence Raises Suspicion of Cover-Up

Some of the truth has been hiding in plain sight since May Day, at AL.com. Visit the government at work, specifically the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce (NOAA) meeting in "Warroom 1." They are intently collecting data on what is apparently the 22nd, 23rd, or 24th of April. They are scientists for an United States government which refused massive clean-up help from foreign sources. then, and refuses such help now -- an U.S. government which seems to have lied to us, all this time. Note the following:

At the 3 minute mark in the video and at 3m:17s, see what one member of this NOAA meeting has scrawled in his notebook: "53 to 110 K [brrel?]."

At 6 minutes 35 seconds, the man on the phone says, "I've heard two different estimates on, some'n, far as uh, between sixty-five and a hundred thousand barrels a day."

Then, see what is written, back at the War Room's white board (frozen in time, below). Those are numbers much, much higher than the story they have given the public, then or now: 64,000 to 110,000 barrels per day.

Last Wednesday evening, June 9th, I interviewed Mark Proegler, Director of Climate Energy Policy for BP plc, working for Deepwater Horizon Unified Command. He recounted to me that the early, officially released estimate of the rate of the leak was 5,000 barrels per day. Then, he said, the U.S. government put together two technical groups to assess the flow and they performed numerous tests. Their two results, according to the government, were between 12,000 and 19,000 barrels per day from one group and between 12,000 to 25,000 barrels per day from the other. At the time of this article's release, the latest official estimate by the government I have found was issued on June 10th: from 20,000 to 40,000 barrels per day.

Compare these early numbers with the evidence discussed here: 65,000 to 100,000 barrels per day on the telephone call, 64,000 to 110,000 barrels per day on the whiteboard, and 53,000 to 110,000, in the notebook. Look for anything written around those numbers in the video. Do you see words such as "could eventually become?" I do not. The white board prefaces its numbers with terse immediacy: "estim." Further, by that point, they had noted a "twelve mile long slick of emulsified oil," visible by aircraft.

The only part of this May 1st report by Ben Raines which seems at odds with observable facts is its title, in its use of the words, "potential for." No, these appear to be concurrent estimates of the actual oil being blasted out of that orifice in April, not analyses of potentials.

Video Shows Federal Officials Knew Quickly of Potential for Massive Oil Flow in Gulf Spill
by Ben Raines, Birmingham Press-Register, 5/1/2010


A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration video, shot as officials coordinated response to the Deepwater Horizon disaster, shows that federal officials almost immediately worried that the oil well could leak up to 110,000 barrels per day, or 4.6 million gallons.

The video appears on a federal Web site.

It was filmed in Seattle, at NOAA's Western Regional Center, as scientists and federal officials in Seattle, Houston and New Orleans engaged in telephone conferences, according to a companion document on the Web site.

View full size (NOAA video still)Federal officials discuss the Gulf of Mexico oil spill soon after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon offshore drilling rig. The image is a still frame from a NOAA Web site video depicting the meeting at the agency's Western Regional Center in Seattle.

The video appears to have been edited, and it was shot by a person carrying a camera from room to room.

In it, officials are discussing the search for survivors of the Deepwater Horizon explosion. There is a hand-drawn map of the spill dated April 22. At one point, the video freezes on a sign next to a door that reads, "War Room."

In one scene, officials say that the estimate for the leak in a worst-case scenario is between 65,000 and 100,000 barrels per day. A dry erase board on the wall reads "Estim: 64,000 to 110,000 bbls/day. CNN reported 300,000 gal/day."

The high end of the estimate, 110,000 barrels, is about 4.6 million gallons. At that spill rate, 32 million gallons of oil would enter the Gulf every week. By comparison, the entire Exxon Valdez spill was about 11 million gallons.

Officials estimate current flow from the damaged well at 210,000 gallons a day.

It is unclear from the video what events would have to transpire to raise the flow rate higher.

A confidential NOAA report, dated April 28 and circulated among federal agencies, makes similar projections regarding spill size in a worst-case situation.

View full size (NOAA video still)A hand-drawn map of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill dated April 22, 2010, is seen in this image from a video downloaded from the NOAA Web site. The video shows federal officials discussing the oil spill soon after the Deepwater Horizon exploded.

It describes newly discovered leaks in the tangle of riser pipe, attributing them to ongoing erosion of the pipe. The riser pipe, in this case about 5,000 feet long, connects the wellhead on the sea floor to the drilling rig on the surface.

"If the riser pipe deteriorates further, the flow could become unchecked," reads the report.

On Thursday, the day after the NOAA report was circulated, BP officials said they were worried about "erosion" of the piping.

Sand is an integral part of the formations that hold oil under the Gulf. The raw crude rising from the bottom of a well carries sand and other abrasive materials. In effect, the oil is sandblasting the piping as it rushes through with tremendous force, according to petroleum engineers.

"I think we need to be prepared for it to be the spill of the decade," Debbie Payton of NOAA, the meeting's coordinator, says during the NOAA video.

NOAA did not immediately respond to the Press-Register's request for comment on the video.

Does anyone reading this believe that BP is the problem in allowing this crisis to become more "significant," the word Rahm Emanuel used in his famous quote, "You never want a significant crisis to go to waste?" Is this administration allowing this disaster to worsen, in order to push for Cap and Trade law and a Climate Change Treaty? Are they actually fostering this horrific calamity, to build the coffers of investors in the Chicago Climate Exchange, while further transferring America's wealth to foreign nations and instituting global government over the sovereign United States of America (as reported here)? Is this effectively a false-flag attack upon this nation, blamed on an oil-rich "capitalist" corporation?

Follow the money, the means, and the ends, and see if you find extortion and globalist Marxofascism. As guest contributor, CJ affirmed last week, we need an honest and comprehensive investigation of this -- a criminal, RICO investigation which must include members of the United States Government. - AW

'Do You Fully Support the Obama Agenda?' - Video Shows Just One Hard Question

And what should Republicans in Congress be asked?

If you have not already seen it, you may want to watch this video first, without any explanation. It is in Washington, D.C. and it is from last week.


6/14 video, "Congressman Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk "
You may wish to read a bit about it (here) and (here) for some background.

Frankly, we do not know the full story here, even after Rep. Bob Etheridge's (NC-2, D) press conference apology. Had he been harassed by unidentified people with cameras prior to this? His behavior is not to be excused, but people who confront others with microphones and cameras should have the decency and sophistication of introducing themselves. Or, is he simply on his ear (and into another's) because he is being put on the spot about the Obama agenda?

Does Etheridge realize the Obama agenda is stealing and destroying the wealth of America's Citizens who happen to have a bit of it (the bourgeoisie)? Worse yet, that his agenda os one of eliminating our American Sovereignties, and of bringing Marxist revolution and its slave-class system to our nation, along with fealty to global government, through planned "transnational progressive" initiatives such as Cap and Trade and the Climate Change Treaty?

In other words, "the Obama Agenda" is treason against America and we are in the thick of this warfare. Do you know that? The weight of guilt upon Obama supporters in Congress is astounding. Reactions to this pressure as irrational and even as violent as Etheridge's, should not be surprising.

But, speaking of "the full story here," why do the "conservative" Representatives of Congress not talk (publicly) about the Obama agenda in terms of his cold, calculating Marxism? -- terms which those who honestly study neo-Marxists know so well by now. I suggest confronting Republicans in Congress, asking them, complete with video camera and microphone: "Why are you not telling American Citizens what the Obama agenda really is?"

Then ask them the three SOVEREIGNTY NOW questions and ask their challengers:

1. Are you a member of any organization supporting the ends of globalism, transnationalism, communitarianism, or U.N. Agenda 21 defined "sustainable development," or have you received money, or services, or other favors from any of these?

2. Do you pledge to uphold America's individual popular sovereignty, our parental sovereignty, the sovereignty of the states, and our national sovereignty, against every internal and external threat, according to our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence?

3. Do you pledge to support and not undermine the sovereignty of other free and benign nations, for example, an unified Israel, in its present borders, with its capital Jerusalem?

Then, let us ask for a full investigation of the unprecedented, monstrous scam of Cap and Trade, Climate Exchanges, and the Climate Treaty -- a RICO investigation, as my colleague "CJ" requested, last week.

We get only the government we ask for, at best. Are you seeking? What are you finding? - AW

Obama & Co steps up USA Destruction before November Elections

by Sher Zieve

The BP oil disaster was custom-made for The Obama. It’s a disaster that not only destroys jobs and the lives of the affected humans but, is killing off all wildlife it touches. The effective oil-skimmer systems utilized by the Saudis and others would work to greatly minimize the damage being caused to the US Gulf Coast. But, The Obama continues to drag his heels as States and lives are destroyed. Note: Obama, of course, remains aloof and untouched and continues to refuse all offers of help--only those that truly WILL help--as he smilingly watches and fiddles like Nero while the destruction and death continue. In fact, it is now apparent that destruction and death follow virtually all of Obama’s actions. Interesting, isn’t it?

Pretending that he is constrained by the “Jones Act,” Obama is doing the bare minimum so that destruction will be at an all-time maximum--in order to shove his Cap & Trade bill (which will complete our destruction) down our throats. Note: The Jones Act has been waived by real US presidents, in the past. And while We-the-People are mesmerized by this purely wicked occurrence, he and his Marxist-Maoist Congressional Democrats keep on pushing feverishly to steal even more assets and instill even more power and control from and over us.

The latest Obama and Democrat power grabs include but, are not limited to, assigning the EPA power to regulate carbon emissions (in case the dictator’s Cap & Trade doesn’t clear the US Senate), control over all of the US’ financial institutions (a bill in which control over US citizens’ bank accounts is also included), control over all students applying for educational aid (who will get financial aid who will not and what they will be taught), of course ObamaCare (passed against the will of a vast majority of the American people), “stimulus” bills that have destroyed middle-class jobs and stimulated ONLY the wealthy ruling elite and political class etc. etc. etc.

Now, however, we have the increasingly insane and unquenchably greedy Marxist Democrat Congress pushing for a bill that will--literally--destroy the US Military. The Democrat Congress is now openly and with no more hidden cunning and deceitfulness telling the American people and the world that it is going to gut virtually ALL of US defenses--by $1Trillon. We already know what they will do with the money--OUR money. You will find it in the Democrat and Marxist Congressional power brokers‘ bank accounts, their masters and the Democrat-Marxists’ war chests.

On Friday 11 June, Rep. Barney Franks’ (D-MA) chosen panel, “The Sustainable Defense Task Force“, recommended virtually doing away with any viable US Military at all to the tune of defunding it by $1TRILLIONS! Suffice it to say, San-Fran Nan Pelosi (D-CA) and the other now-openly Communist Congressional members think it’s a great idea. The patently demented Franks’ plan includes reducing virtually every defense measure the USA possesses, including gutting our nuclear arsenal, number of ships in our Naval fleet, lowering our soldiers’ pay, reducing recruitment etc. The list goes on and on. Our Executive and Legislative branch “Masters” are now in full-force feudal-Lord mode. We, of course, comprise the Serf-class who work for them. We must stop them now.

Is another march on Washington D.C. indicated, with this one even larger and louder than the last? We don’t want to give The Usurper and Dictator-in-Chief any additional ammunition to enact Martial Law. But, folks, we must do something active…now! The Republicans MUST filibuster, if at all possible, every power grabbing and revenue depleting bill proposed by the Marxist Dems from now until we can install a new US Congress. Everyone needs to call their Congressional Representatives and Senators and tell them NO MORE TYRANNY. That is, unless they really want a real second American Revolution.

Remember, even with the refurbished and newly staffed FEMA camps, there are still vastly more of us than there are “them.” We want a peaceful revolution. But, We-the-People have just about been pushed too far.

'Obama's Deepwater Horizon' - Brenda Elliott

The following is from Brenda Elliot's excellent blog, RBO - The Real Barack Obama.

POTUS Obama is to address the Nation about Deepwater Horizon on Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Previously, as of June 4: two days of media events (White House Correspondents Dinner and a tête a tête with Bono); three days of fundraising; four commemorations (graduations, Cinco de Mayo, etc); six days of vacation; six days of campaigning; six sports events; and seven days of golf.

Ms. Elliot and Aaron Kline of World Net Daily co-wrote the current bestseller The Manchurian President.

Mitch McConnell Almost Getting Effective against the Greatest Scandal in Modern History

Look! Signs of life among Republican Senators. Infirmity, but life.

McConnell Charges That ‘Major Part’ of Democrats’ Cap-Trade Bill ‘Essentially Written by BP’
Wednesday, June 09, 2010
By Penny Starr, Senior Staff Writer

Senate Minority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) spoke on the Senate floor on Wednesday about how BP -- the oil company responsible for the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf Coast -- helped write the Kerry Lieberman bill on global warming that is being debated by lawmakers. (AP photo)

(CNSNews.com) – Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that BP, the energy company responsible for the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, helped craft the bill proposed by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) that would tax businesses for carbon emissions and raise the cost of fuel for American consumers.

“The problem for Democrats is that debating the Democrat cap-and-trade bill might not fit neatly into the White House messaging plan since it’s been widely reported that a major part, a major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was essentially written by BP,” McConnell said on the Senate floor on Wednesday. “Let me say that again. A major part of the Kerry-Lieberman bill was written by BP. This is clearly an inconvenient fact.”

McConnell made his comments at a time when Congress is debating a “compromise” global warming bill introduced in May by Kerry and Lieberman in the wake of the deep-water oil rig explosion in April that killed 11 men and has dumped thousands of crude oil into Gulf Coast waters.

continued at CNS News

Now, Mitch, what about the massive "communitarian" theft (and "legally" enacted mega-graft by the super-wealthy) involved? What about global government? What about CCX? Mitch?

Mitch?

Anyone see where he went?

Misrepresenting Scientist Comments and Opposition Arrests - Obama Police State Begins

by Sher Zieve

Lies, Lies…and More Lies

Here we go again with ‘another day and another Obama & Co lie’. Guess our days would no longer be complete without a few dishonest pieces of ObamaPropaganda with our morning coffee. Tragically, many of our fellow citizens are becoming far too used to the tyrant’s hypocrisy and some are, now, even ignoring it as ‘Obama’s business as usual’. To accept patent lies from our country’s leaders is what got us into out current mess in the first place folks. And--as he continues to intensely revel in his still-unstopped destruction of our country--The Obama tells whoppers!

As Obama continues to run from his own legal duties, under both the Clean Water Act and the Oil Pollution Act, he tells us that BP must correct the problem; while thousands of barrels of oil are dispensed into the Gulf each and every day destroying all life with which it comes into contact. But, Obama sees this as a political boon; one in which he plans to use in order to shove through his Cap & Trade bill that will hobble us all. So, he asked a group of scientists (the best in the country he told us) to provide him with a report. Note: Obama wants reports whilst he watches the totality of the occurring daily destruction. We believe he is, again, smiling broadly at his malicious work.

Obama’s scientific experts did--indeed--provide the dictator-in-chief with his requested--demanded--report. However, it did not go far enough for The Obama. So, Obama’s Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar surreptitiously “added” a few paragraphs at the end of the report suggesting the experts had recommended a cessation in drilling for oil. But, nothing could be further from the truth. The experts--via Ken Arnold--advised Fox News: “None of us actually reviewed the [Salazar revised] memorandum as it is in the report." Arnold said that it was a false addition and that not one of those preparing the report had recommended any cessation in drilling. In fact, he and the other experts said that doing so would be devastating to the US economy. Surprise! Obama & Co lied again in order to get their way. Salazar, of course, said he was sorry for the lie. But as we know, in ObamaLand, the end--whatever is employed by the Marxists to get there--justifies ANY means used and being a Marxist-Democrat means saying you’re sorry is all that’s needed. And the ObamaMedia will continue to largely ignore the oppression.

Obama’s Police State Begins in earnest

Obama now has had his Congressional minions--aka US Senators--propose a bill that will give the dictator total and uncontrolled seizure under anything Obama deems to be an “emergency”. Note: We suggest this “emergency” applies to the spreading of truth to We-the-People; especially but not limited to elections. Obama is now--officially--Hugo Chavez’ twin brother--only worse.

And, the Obama-inspired--if not controlled--criminal behavior continues in the administrative and police-state bowels of Monroe County, Tennessee. As a brief recap, former Navy LTC Walter Fitzpatrick had originally filed a criminal complaint against Barack Hussein Obama (aka Barry Sotero) as having committed treason in that he was and is not eligible to be President of the United States. After doing so, and receiving the response of intimidation from Monroe County officials, he uncovered the fact that the Monroe County Grand Jury was operating illegally. One of the greatest illegalities was--and still is--the fact that an individual named Gary Pettway had been the Grand Jury Foreman for over 20 years. One of the arguments from the seemingly highly leftist controlled county is that there are no term limits for GJ Foremen. However, in looking further, the statute advises that the GJ foremen are to be randomly selected from a pool of jurors and shall serve as foremen for a period of 2 years. Pettway has been a GJ Foreman for 27 years. That hardly seems to be a “random” selection; in fact it defies all logic whatsoever. LTC Fitzpatrick attempted to affect a--legal under Monroe County and Tennessee law--citizen’s arrest on Mr. Pettway. That’s when Monroe County officials decided to release the dogs of war against Fitzpatrick.

So, as LTC Fitzpatrick challenged--and exposed--criminal behavior now inherent in Monroe County, the entire force of Monroe County--if not Obama--has been brought to bear against him. As retaliation for exposing (only) one of their secret illicit behaviors, Fitzpatrick has now been charged by the Monroe County Grand Jury with 6 criminal counts--one of which is causing or attempting to cause a riot (a “riot” of one???) and “the intent to intimidate Gary Pettway” (by calling him and Monroe County on their illegal behaviors). And guess who the foreman is…C’mon guess. That’s right--Gary Pettway. Those who came to observe and support Fitzpatrick have also been charged with various crimes. Obama-and-other-criminal-protecting Police State in Monroe County? You betcha’!

Another case is that of current LTC Terry Lakin, M.D. As a military officer, Lakin legitimately questioned Obama’s right to give orders as the US Commander-in-Chief if he is not eligible (under the US Constitution’s natural born clause) to be president. The military judge has denied Lakin ALL discovery that is pertinent to his case. Therefore, we are now dealing with--even in the military--Obama Kangaroo court or “drumhead courts martial.” Each and every judge that has had the eligibility issue brought before him or her has thrown it out on “standing” excuse. Even when harm has been shown--as it must with “standing,” the cases have been thrown out. Now, there is even a former Hawaiian elections clerk--Tim Adams--willing to swear that there is no long form Hawaiian birth certificate for Obama. Adams said: “I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity. I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama].”

Does The Obama now control the entire “judicial” system--both civilian and military? More important is the question “Is anyone we elected ever going to do anything to remove this tyrant and oppressor now running the country from our midst?” Anyone?

RICO Investigation Needed NOW about Gulf, Energy & CCX

A letter prompted by the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster, written and suggested by CJ of Patriot's Heart Network

Re: RICO Investigation Needed NOW about Gulf, Energy, and CCX

Dear Elected Official,

I am an average everyday American. Until this past election cycle, I was not very political. I am now an awake and aware American. Please take the time to read the information I am sending to you. I know it is extensive, but the continued existence of our free country, The United State of America, is at stake and I believe this with every fiber of my being. There is fear in the pit of my belly all of the time, fear that we are loosing America, and I do not mean “as we know it.”

I about fell out of my chair when Obama approved some offshore drilling, I was waiting for the other shoe to fall. Then all of a sudden, we have an unprecedented “gusher” in the Gulf, with rumors of sabotage I refused to believe. No one could be that evil. I did however find the timing very fortunate for the agenda of Cap and Trade and waited for those next pieces to fall into place as we knew they would. Please follow what I am seeing. There is something very smelly going on.

Then we find out that Goldman Sachs sold 4,680,822 shares of BP in the first quarter of 2010:

According to regulatory filings, RawStory.com has found that Goldman Sachs sold 4,680,822 shares of BP in the first quarter of 2010. Goldman's sales were the largest of any firm during that time. Goldman would have pocketed slightly more than $266 million if their holdings were sold at the average price of BP's stock during the quarter.
http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0602/month-oil-spill-goldman-sachs-sold-250-million-bp-stock/

And the chief executive of BP sold £1.4 million of his shares:

The chief executive of BP sold £1.4 million of his shares in the fuel giant weeks before the Gulf of Mexico oil spill caused its value to collapse.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/energy/oilandgas/7804922/BP-chief-Tony-Hayward-sold-shares-weeks-before-oil-spill.html

There is a boot on the throat of the press:

Conservative Examiner has also learned that the few authorized journalists and photographers that are allowed in the area have been instructed by the Feds not to write anything critical of the Obama Administration's response--or shall we say the lack thereof--to the crisis. Photographers have also been instructed to limit photographs of the devastation
http://www.examiner.com/x-37620-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m6d6-More-on-fallout-from-ObamaBP-Gulf-oil-disaster

Withholding information from the public:

But inside the unified command center, where BP and federal agencies were orchestrating the spill response, video monitors had already displayed hours of footage they did not make public. The images showed a far more dire situation unfolding underwater. The footage filmed by submarines showed three separate leaks, including one that was unleashing a torrent of oil into the Gulf.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/bp-feds-withheld-videos-showing-massive-scope-oil/story?id=10819367

And more cover-ups:

New videos show more clearly than ever how BP, with little resistance from the Coast Guard or other federal agencies, kept the public in the dark about just how bad things were beneath the surface of the Gulf of Mexico.
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/bp-feds-withheld-videos-showing-massive-scope-oil/story?id=10819367

Also, BP knew weeks in advance there were major problems with this well:

However, evidence shows that BP executives were aware of the looming disaster before March 17.

According to the May 31 Bloomberg article 'BP Lacked Well Control Six Weeks Before Gulf Rig Disaster, E-Mails Show':
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/6/5/15749/79934

The White House is right in the middle of the cover-up:

Contrary to early reports from the Obama Administration that it was not aware of the catastrophic nature of the Gulf oil spill, newly-released Coast Guard logs show that the government knew within hours that the spill would be devastating.
http://www.examiner.com/x-37620-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m6d4-Breaking-Coast-guard-logs-show-govt-knew-oil-spill-was-devastating-within-hours

Reports indicate Obama is to use the Oil Spill Disaster to renew a push for Cap & Trade. This is made more suspicious by his apparent delay and even obstruction of solutions:

Almost as if it had been created for him, it seems that the BP oil spill couldn’t have come at a better time for Obama. Just when [he] was cogitating over how to reintroduce the Energy Cap & Tax bill—which will skyrocket energy rates so that many of us will not be able to afford basic electricity—the BP oil spill occurred. This was most convenient for Obama and his plans to continue gutting the USA and its citizens.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/23949

If all of this is not enough to rouse suspicion, then we get reports of the dispersant being ineffective and unsafe, and of people getting sick as a result. The Obama Administration reported they asked BP to use something less toxic as a Dispersant. BP says “no” and Obama lets BP continue using Corexit, a Nalco product.

BP Won't Change Dispersants in Oil Spill Despite EPA:

BP has told the Environmental Protection Agency that it cannot find a safe, effective and available dispersant to use instead of Corexit, and will continue to use that chemical application to help break up the growing spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2010/5/23/869241/-BP-Wont-Change-Dispersants-In-Oil-Spill-Despite-EPA

Eight Fishing boat crews downwind of dispersant get sick:

Venice, Louisiana (CNN) -- Kindra Arnesen's husband often calls while he's out on a shrimping trip, so she wasn't surprised to hear her cell phone ring the night of April 29 while he was on an overnight fishing expedition.

However, this time, her husband, David, wasn't calling to tell her about the day's catch or to wish their children Aleena and David Jr. a good night. He was calling to tell her he was sick, and the strange thing about it, so were men on the seven other shrimping boats working near his.
http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/06/03/gulf.fishermans.wife/index.html

Corexit a Nalco product may be just masking the problem:

Cousteau was investigating whether Corexit, the environmentally-tenuous chemical dispersant that BP has been spraying into the Atlantic since the spill began is "breaking down the oil or if the byproduct they are forming is causing more damage to sea life." ABC Good Morning America reporter Sam Champion, who was along for the ride, was shocked and appalled at what he found.
http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/05/27/jacques-cousteaus-son-takes-nightmare-dive-into-oil-spill/

And more evidence of Corexit being ineffective and unsafe:

When we got into the water our worst fears were realized. One of the concerns has been what is happening in the Gulf with the application of these chemical dispersants into the oil and indeed, the oil was not confined to the surface, which was the original goal of applying chemical dispersants. It had permeated the water column down 15, 20 feet and would wash over us in these billowing waves, clouds of this red toxic soup in which we found dead fish and we could see dead jellyfish floating through it. It was really a terrible sight. You know, often times it’s out of sight, out of mind and no one had done this before. No one had seen what this looks like and what the condition of the water would be. And while we know very little about the effects of these chemicals and the oil in the water, what we do know is that we have put 800,000 gallons of a very toxic chemical into the water column and that it’s likely these plumes of dispersed oil and this toxic soup is now distributed from the surface to the bottom and will be spread throughout the Gulf of Mexico and potentially through the Gulf Stream, down the Florida Keys and all the way into the Atlantic.
http://www.theworld.org/2010/05/27/philippe-cousteau-dives-into-the-gulf-oil-spill/

Why do Obama and BP refuse to use most effective and safer method of oil cleanup?

As the Gulf oil disaster closes in on the 50-day mark, the Obama Administration and BP refuse to use the most effective method of oil cleanup. The top oil barons of the world--the Saudis--have used this method to avoid a mammoth oil disaster. And the result was swift, effective, and conclusive.
http://www.examiner.com/x-37620-Conservative-Examiner~y2010m6d5-Why-do-Obama-BP-refuse-to-use-most-effective-method-of-oil-cleanup

Nearly 50 Supertankers Are Waiting for BP for clean-up and collection (on the Cheap):

http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/bp-oil-spill-cleanup-costs060410#ixzz0q1RBS2Fg

John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil, and Nick Pozzi, a former pipeline engineering and operations project manager for Saudi Aramco say: "Supertankers Could Save the Gulf, So Why Won't BP Listen?":

Pozzi saw the technique used in the Middle East, where it recovered 85% of the oil from the Saudi spill. And he thinks it could work in the Gulf of Mexico. "The only downside is that you tie up oil tankers. That's why we think that BP won't listen to us. They don't want to spend that extra money.
http://www.fastcompany.com/1646820/could-the-gulf-oil-spill-could-cleaned-up-by-supertankers

Now a very industrious group of Citizen Journalists has uncovered what may be the real reason why BP is allowed to use unsafe, toxic, ineffective chemicals. Now please read this all very carefully. This is so EVIL I am sick to my stomach.

The real reason the oil still flows into the Gulf of Mexico:

Nalco is associated with UChicago Argonne program. UChicago Argonne received $164 million dollars in stimulus funds this past year. UChicago Argonne just added two new executives to their roster. One from Nalco. The other from the Ill. Dept of Educaution.

If you dig a little deeper you will find Nalco is also associated with Warren Buffett, Maurice Strong, Al Gore, Soros, Apollo, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Berkshire Hathaway.

Warren Buffet / Berkshire Hathaway increased their holdings in Nalco just last November. (Timing is everything).

The dispersant chemical is known as Corexit. What it does is hold the oil below the water's surface. It is supposed to break up the spill into smaller pools. It is toxic and banned in Europe.

Nalco says they are using older and newer versions of Corexit in the Gulf... (Why would you need a newer version, if the old one was fine?)

There is big money and even bigger players in this scam. While they are letting the oil blow wide open into the Gulf, the stakes and profit rise.

The Dolphins, Whales, Manatees, Sea Turtles and fish suffocate and die. The coastal regions, salt marshes, tourist attractions and the shore front properties are being destroyed, possibly permanently. The air quality is diminished. The Gulf of Mexico fishing industry is decimated.

All to create a need for their expensive and extremely profitable poison.

I am beyond livid at the Administration’s and it cohorts in crime covering-up and partying all the way to the bank. There is a lady with a little known oil company who writes this:

1. BP is one of the largest investors of alternative energy in the world and Cap & Trade gets voted on/passed this month so, it won’t hurt their pockets.

2. BP is one of the largest campaign contributors to Barack Hussein Obama.

3. Since early last year, it’s been speculated that gas prices would be over $4/ga by June, 2010 and $7/ga by Jan, 2011. When rumors were circulating there was no justification. Only way gas prices would jump like that is with a major oil shortage. Low & behold 1.5 months before rumors come true, we have an enormous oil spill.

4. I own a small oil company (www.strategic-oil.com) and we specialize in on and off shore cleanup. My CFO wrote all the checks for the Valdez spill.

5. I sat at an 1.5hr seminar by BP in 2008 at the OTC (offshore technology conference, the largest in the world) and witnessed first hand the technology aboard that ship particularly.

There is absolutely NO WAY possible for this to happen without it being sabotage (emphasis mine). There were way too many tiers aboard that ship and it could have been stopped at any facet. And, even if ever man aboard was knocked out with toxic gases and the oil somehow managed to make it to water, their have huge blowup looking mats that surround the ship for miles to prevent (93%?) the oil from mixing in open waters.

It could be stopped now. Cleanup easily within 72 hrs, and the oil salvageable and able to still be refined and produced IF they wanted to. I believe it’s intentional to drive up oil and gas prices and push cap & trade. It’s only speculation as to motives but, the events of this and my synopsis are based upon facts.
http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2010/06/03/you-want-the-truth-ask-an-intelligent-woman/

What I have laid out is just one facet of a very inter-connected web of deceit. As an elected official you swore an oath as follows:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

We have had health care reform pass in the ugliest arm twisting, middle of the night, back door dealing scheme ever. All against the will of the people, using fuzzy math and omissions to get the CBO to come up with acceptable (to them) numbers. They put a $940 billion price tag on what’s actually a multitrillion-dollar bill. It is also the single biggest assault on liberty in our history.

We have a president and congress who think they can spend the money of generations to come. What is this census costing us again? Didn’t we just pass the “Doctor fix” that was omitted from the cost of the heath care reform bill so it would pass?

We have at least two illegal “quid pro quos” in our election process directed from the White House, Anyone who can read can see that the Obama administration has broken the law. It does not matter if this is how politics are played. Illegal is illegal even if you are questioning the definition of “is.”

We have a media who refuses to cover the issues. If they do they are attacked by the White House as in Fox News and talk radio. We have a media outlet that is owned by GE who stands to gain incalculable riches from this president’s Cap and Trade scam. Cap and Trade is a SCAM and all of this and many of the players have been well documented by Glenn Beck and is what he now calls CRIME Inc.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,591790,00.html

Once again, of course, Barack Obama is front and center, along with the Chicago Climate Exchange, the Joyce Foundation, George Soros, Maurice Strong, Edmund de Rothschild, the Federal Reserve, Goldman Sachs, George W. Bush's Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, even Fannie Mae, and many others. It entails global Marxofascism / global kleptocracy, with Americans being the chief victims, while a few overlords rule at, and their financiers skim off, the top. If any "mainstream" reporters cared to cover this thoroughly (and could) they could be much bigger characters in U.S. and world history than Woodward and Bernstein. And as for Americans willingly instigating this, it is treason.
http://investigatingobama.blogspot.com/2010/04/greatest-scandal-in-modern-history.html

We have a country being overrun with illegal aliens and when a state takes action in the most legal way possible to protect their citizens, they are demonized. Unemployment is skyrocketing yet illegal aliens are allowed to come here and work. We have a federal government who will not protect our borders. This should be their first priority, and is their first duty, to keep America safe.

Now Barack Hussein Obama has put a moratorium on all drilling. This is going to devastate the Gulf Coast even further. This will bring our economy to its knees. There are thousands and thousands of jobs related to drilling that will leave and not come back. There are people in the food industry that specialize in offshore supply, crew boats, helicopter companies, drilling equipment and supplies, and cleaning services, to name a few. This will make us even more dependent on foreign oil and further weaken our national security. I believe now that this is the exact intention of this administration, to weaken us. I am not at all sure now that this “gusher” was not an accident.

The Oil Spill - Round Up the Usual Suspects:

In closing, an article that appeared in FrontPage about a year ago, noted that “CCX’s members include Ford, DuPont, Dow Corning and the states of Illinois and New Mexico. CCX also owns 50 percent of the European Climate Exchange (ECX), which features such members as Shell, British Petroleum, Barclays—and Goldman Sachs.” British Petroleum—better known as BP.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/22810

Enough! We The People demand that a RICO investigation and criminal charges be initiated to uncover the criminal actions of this administration and all of its radical cohorts in crime, like GE, BP, Goldman Sachs, the labor unions, Fannie and Freddie, ACORN, Organizing for America, George Soros, Maurice Strong, Warren Buffett, Al Gore, The Progressive Caucus, anyone who has close ties to this administration.

This is a cabal of crooks. All legislation should be halted until this is done. We, The People will not stop. We will know justice. We demand that you do your duty and uphold the oath you took to defend the Constitution. Our Country is depending on you like at no other time in history.

With respect,

What is it about Israel and the Jewish people that evokes such controversy and passion? Days before an Israeli interdiction which resulted in several deaths brought the wrath of the international community, down upon the small Middle Eastern nation, North Korea sunk an entire ship with comparatively little objection. How can such a desparity in reaction be explained?

How Many Oil Plumes are in the Gulf? - The U.S. Government Challenge (ask them with me) Updating

6/9 6:35pm CT - Further updates are made in "Comments" to this article.

6/9 1022am CT - I just got off the phone with Lt. Budaio of the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command. He stated that the U.S. Geological Survey had confirmed that there are numerous oil plumes off the coast of Texas, also Florida. These have been investigated and they are identified as naturally occurring. One of them is quite large, three feet in diameter.

These fissures tend to increase after earthquakes, explained the Lieutenant. There may be as many as twenty or thirty plumes of oil, of various sizes, but none are approaching the volume of the Deepwater Horizon disaster's gusher.

Asked if this number of fissures is unusual, he said it was not.

At the Deepwater site: Lt. Budaio stated that he knows of no significant oil leaks outside the one barrel-shaped leaking pipe joint, which has been partially capped. This is the one in the videos.

My name, telephone number, and email address have been given to BP by Lt. Budaio, with the request that they reply immediately, to confirm information about the leaks. He would not give a separate number for BP and did not pass me through at that moment, telling me there was a change-over of personnel at the time.

If I do not get an immediate response from BP, which, frankly, I do not expect, I will try to contact them, through the telephone number I last listed in this article's comments. I will be available to do this only sporadically though the middle of the day, but intend to pursue and to ask other questions when and if I speak with a representative of British Petroleum plc.

6/9 am - See comments to this post, for progress. Please call too, but I have posted better telephone numbers in the comments.

6/8 - Tomorrow morning, Wednesday, June 9th, I intend to ask the U.S. federal government this question:

How many oil plumes are there in the Gulf of Mexico - how many leaks?

I ask you to do the same. I will report my results. Please report yours, in the comments to this post. This is not about how many plumes that private sources have found. It is about how many leaks does the United States government know exist. They have had since April 20, to discover this. They should be able to tell us, should they not? And if they can tell us that, perhaps they can give us their coordinates on the globe. How close or far are they, from each other? And if they can tell us that, perhaps they can tell us what they are coordinating, to stop them. Right?
