Phyllis Schlafly
… the "First Lady of the Conservative Movement," and the Founder of the invaluable Eagle Forum, has penned a great editorial I received in my inbox today, "Obama STARTS to Disarm America." It is a great editorial, and I strongly recommend that all 9.12'ers read it and then share your thoughts below (After the Documentary Trailer at the bottom).Whatever one thinks of the Obama Regime, one cannot ignore the threat to American National Security posed by the policy decisions of the current occupant of the White House. I honestly believe that Barack Hussein Obama is a traitor, and his actions are those of an enemy to America, and have been since he was first installed in the White House.
The timeline appears to have been accelerated thanks to the fact that America is waking up to the loss of their freedoms, and the radical extremists in the Obama Regime, and the powers behind it, recognize that their window of opportunity to overlay a global governance regime onto America is beginning to close. By this time next year, it may be nearly impossible for them to impose their vision of American enslavement upon us, and by this time in 2013, I honestly believe they'll either be in a position of iron-fisted control, or out of power, attempting to once again shape-shift into a new identity. Either way, we MUST do our best to throw a wrench in the works of the Obama regime's attempts to "collapse the system."
Please INVITE your friends, relatives, neighbors, co-workers, church congregation members, customers/clients, and other peers to join us!
The wisdom of food storage, energy independence (including at your own home, as in solar panels, wind energy, solar water heaters, etc.), and general preparedness is now much more apparent and personal, and our need to be prepared is far more urgent than even a month ago. It might be a good time to look into FoodInsurance.com, like Glenn Beck recommends, for all who don't have a guaranteed supply of food to last them a year or more. And if one has nothing saved up, food-wise, gold-wise, or other-wise, but can see what is coming, nothing will bring peace of mind like the ability to eat, no matter what. When I got my first order from FoodInsurance.com, I felt like Glenn talks about feeling when he's advertising for them on the radio: the burden which began to lift off of my shoulders is surprisingly heavy. In my case (as I'm sure it is in many of yours), with a wife and three kids, the burden to provide, whatever comes, weighs heavily in a time such as now. If you can't afford Gold (and even if you can), if you don't yet have food security, it's a good idea to get food you don't have to worry about rotating, because it will still be good in one year or twenty; regardless of how this turns out, at some point the wisdom of preparedness will be as obvious as the nose on one's face. Honestly, if things get bad enough, many believe that food will be worth its weight in gold. A starving man will definitely part with whatever he has to in order to survive, and even more so if he has a starving wife and starving children.
Please also remember to prepare go-packs (a backpack with everything you'd need to survive on foot, in case you must leave your home on short notice). And try to store clothing, shoes, fuel, water, toothpaste, soap, etc. in addition to food - if this happens soon, you won't want to have to divide your resources among other essentials like soap, shampoo, Q-tips, toothbrushes/heads, toilet paper, etc. Don't forget copies of the Constitution & Declaration and other essential publications. See our Preparedness Group for more.
But enough of my words. Here's Phyllis Schlafly:

Obama STARTS to Disarm America
May 28, 2010 - by Phyllis Schlafly
Would you be satisfied if your only access to a computer was to try to boot up one that hadn't been used or tested since 1992? That's the predicament of our nuclear deterrent on which we depend for our ultimate physical survival.
On April 8 in Prague, President Obama signed what is called the New START bilateral arms control agreement. It reads like it was written by the Russians and has nothing good in it for the United States.
Obama is demanding a rush to ratification, after which we can then discover the details of what the treaty requires. Does that remind you of the procedure used for Obamacare?
If there ever were a need for the Senate to read the bill and for the Senate to use its "advice" power as well as its "consent" power, this is it, including reading the treaty's protocols and annexes. Harry Reid's Senate promptly held one hearing, but heard only from treaty advocates, not from its critics.
In the globalist world that Obama inhabits, he dreams of a nuclear-zero world. But his "world without nuclear weapons" would be a world where the United States is a sitting duck for nukes fired by a rogue nation.
The treaty allows Russia to build new and modern weapons to reach New START limits, whereas the United States is locked into reducing its current number. That means Russia will have new and tested weapons, but the U.S. will be stuck with its current, out-of-date, untested warheads.
We live in a dangerous world in which bad guys respect strength and weapons, and disdain weakness and disarmament. Yet, Obama is already presiding over the steady obsolescence of our aging deterrent, a failure to test our weapons, and the phasing out of our skilled workforce to sustain them.
The fantasy that our abandonment of nuclear weapons will inspire other nations to follow our example is so foolish that it can only be described as nuts. When the Cold War thawed and the U.S. and the old U.S.S.R. dramatically reduced their nuclear warheads, that encouraged proliferation, with India, Pakistan, North Korea, Syria and Iran trying to join the nuclear club.
New START allows the United States to have only as many nuclear warheads as Russia can afford to build. And Russia gets to set the count of weapons.
Equal ceilings on warheads are ridiculous because, while Russia only has to defend its own people, our allies all over the world count on us for protection. If the treaty prohibits us from having weapons to fulfill those expectations, they will try to build their own.
The treaty does not limit tactical nuclear weapons, leaving Russia with a 10-to-one numeric superiority, which Russia has threatened to use in regional conflicts. We could build more tactical missiles, but there is no chance Obama will do that.
New START gives up the verification, on-site inspections and monitoring of production that were requirements of previous treaties. Whatever happened to Ronald Reagan's maxim, "Trust but verify"?
Obama has made it clear that his eagerness for a nuclear-zero world also means a world without any defense against nuclear weapons. He has cut spending for missile defenses and killed or moth-balled the few innovative programs we have to knock down incoming rockets in their boost phase.
Ever since President Reagan announced his Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) in 1983, the Kremlin has tried to ban all U.S. missile defenses. The Kremlin brags that it achieved this goal in New START.
This treaty gives Russia a veto over all U.S. defenses against incoming missiles. Article V contains a binding clause that we "shall not convert and shall not use ICBM launchers and [submarine-launched ballistic missile] launchers for placement of missile defense interceptors therein."
Article XIV confirms this prohibition, stating that any party can withdraw from New START if "extraordinary events ... have jeopardized its supreme interests." Russia explained that this means it will stick with New START "only if the [U.S.] refrains from developing its missile defense capabilities quantitatively or qualitatively."
The wisdom of the Founding Fathers is available to save us from New START folly, i.e., the constitutional provision that ratification requires approval by two-thirds of Senators. That's the provision the globalists hate the most.
The Council on Foreign Relations complained in print on May 1, 2008 that "the separation of powers enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress a critical voice in the ratification of treaties and endorsement of global institutions, complicates U.S. assumptions of new international obligations."
Our Constitution can save us from New START if 34 Senators will stand up for America.

You may also wish to host a local screening of the excellent, if brief, missile defense documentary, 33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age, ASAP, to raise awareness of this, and to help recruit and awaken Americans to the cause of defending America:
