Seems Bomber Jihadists' Money Traces Back to Saudi Arabia and Osama

North Caucasus jihadists’ money traces back to Saudi Arabia and Osama bin Laden

The seed money of major North Caucasus or Chechen terrorist groups such as the Caucasus Emirate, the Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade (IIPB), the Special Purpose Islamic Regiment (SPIR) and the Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs (RSRSBCM) can all be traced back to Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

Although we don’t yet know to which groups the two Russian-born brothers of Chechen descent who were identified as suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings may belong, it’s important to take a look back at the origins of the money behind the North Caucasus jihadist network overall.

Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade

The Council on Foreign Relations says that, “According to the U.S. State Department, the Islamic International Peacekeeping Brigade is the primary channel for Islamic funding of the Chechen guerillas, in part through links to al-Qaeda-related financiers on the Arabian Peninsula.”

The Middle East Forum has more on IIPB:

In October 1999, emissaries of [IIPB founder Shamil Basayev] and [mujahideen leader] Ibn al-Khattab traveled to Kandahar where bin Laden agreed to provide fighters, equipment, and money to conduct terrorism and aid the fight against Russia. Later that year, bin Laden reportedly sent substantial sums of money to Basayev, Ibn al-Khattab, and Chechen commander Arbi Barayev to train gunmen, recruit mercenaries, and buy ammunition.

The United Nations says that, “With Al‑Qaida’s financial support, Al-Khattab also mobilized fighters from Ingushetia, Ossetia, Georgia and Azerbaijan to fight in Chechnya and Dagestan.”

History Commons offers further details similarities between Ibn Khattab and Osama Bin Laden, and the U.S. and U.K.-based imams who have funded Chechen rebels:

They share fundraising and recruiting networks. For example, a Florida cell of radical Sunnis that is monitored by the FBI starting in 1993 is involved with both organizations (see (October 1993-November 2001). Radical London imam Abu Qatada raises money for jihad in Chechnya (see 1995-February 2001 and February 2001) and is a key figure in al-Qaeda-related terrorism who is in communication with al-Qaeda logistics manager Abu Zubaida. [BBC, 3/23/2004; Nasiri, 2006, pp. 273] The Finsbury Park mosque of fellow London imam Abu Hamza al-Masri is used as a conduit for funds for both jihad in Chechnya and bin Laden’s Darunta camp in Afghanistan (see March 1999 and March 2000-February 2001)…

Khattab repaid Bin Laden in kind: “In October 2001, Khattab sent additional fighters to Afghanistan and promised to pay the volunteers’ families a substantial monthly stipend or a large lump-sum payment in the event of their death.”

Special Purpose Islamic Regiment

In a 2003 study, the CDI found that, “Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda network provided much ideological and financial support to the SPIR after the mid-1990′s. The group has been known to engage in kidnapping, extortion, and contract killings as well to generate money.”

Riyadus-Salikhin Reconnaissance and Sabotage Battalion of Chechen Martyrs

RSRSBCM, like the other North Caucasus terrorist groups, is financially connected to Al Qaeda, as documented in a UN sanctions summary:

In October 1999, emissaries of [RSRSBCM leader Shamil Basayev] and Al-Khattab, who was a leader of IIB, traveled to Usama bin Laden’s home base in the Afghan province of Kandahar, where Bin Laden agreed to provide substantial military assistance and financial aid, including by making arrangements to send to Chechnya several hundred fighters to fight against Russian troops and perpetrate acts of terrorism. Later that year, Bin Laden sent substantial amounts of money to Basayev, Barayev and Al-Khattab, which were to be used exclusively for training gunmen, recruiting mercenaries and buying ammunition.

The RSRSBCM, IIB and SPIR were jointly responsible for the hostage-taking crisis at a Moscow theater in 2002.

Caucasus Emirate

The Caucasus Emirate is a confederation of different Chechen terrorist groups. The International Institute for Strategic Studies notes that in the 1990s, “Al-Qaeda also established a presence in the North Caucasus, where it organized training camps and provided weapons, financing and other logistical support to Chechen rebels.” Previous Money Jihad coverage of the use of zakat to fund jihad in the North Caucuses can be found here and here.

Last year, Caucasus Emirate began demanding “tribute for jihad” by imposing taxes on wealthy residents and businessmen in Dagestan, similar to the forced zakat of the Taliban, taxes levied by Al Shabaab in Somalia, and the revolutionary taxation of Basque separatists and the PKK.

Conclusion

The wealthy Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia, men like bin Laden and Khattab, fanned out in the 1980s and 1990s to wage jihad along the fringes of the Islamic world—places like Afghanistan, Bosnia, and the North Caucasus. They took their own money and the sadaqa donations of rich fellow Arabs to finance their cause. The disease could not be quarantined, and the infection spreads to this day.

Most recently, Chechen jihadists have made the news for joining forces with Syrian rebels, and declaring upon arrival that “Jihad needs very many things. Firstly it needs money.”

So what are the connections between this event?  The money? The Obama’s meeting with the ‘so-called person of interest’ they let get away??  So many questions… again.  So few answers!

Glenn Beck said: “After what I have learned this week I’m a changed person.”  And he has given the the U.S. government until Monday to come clean, or he will be blowing the whistle. 

Beck: “Let me send this message very clear: We know who this Saudi national is. It is in your best interest of the integrity of the people of United States of America. It’s best coming from you, not from a news organization. It’s best coming from you. You have until Monday. We have information on who this man is. And listen to me carefully. In your little “event” world, we know he is a very bad, bad, bad man. I know that doesn’t make any sense to you right now. But on Monday it will…

It makes sense to somebody in Washington.

I don’t bluff. I make promises. The truth matters.

On Monday I reveal everything we know. So let me just say this to those at the highest echelons of government. No the tagging system. They know about events. Not files, events.”

Please pray for Glenn and his family and pray that other patriots stand-up with him.

Ask Marion - h/t  themuslimissue and George King

The question for the day is… Will the American people stand-up and demand answers… the truth… and consequences for misdeeds or will we let this all go again, like we did Fast and Furious, Benghazi(gate) and so many other questionable actions by this administration (and others) that are covered-up or aided by the Progressive media who support them?!?  It is time to follow our common sense and to dig deep for all the strength we can muster!  For it is beyond time for all freedom-loving Americans to stand-up for the truth!  Time to rebuild!!

All the Little Communist Occupiers in a Row

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton – the NoisyRoom

Violent Occupiers Confront Outnumbered Police

Ah! Smell and experience the chaos in Oakland, Boston, Seattle and across the land of anarchy. Violence is only a breath away… Just waiting for that one tiny confrontation to set off an inferno that will engulf our nation. Hell’s bells are ringing for the Occupy movement, while the Communists, radicals and anarchists gleefully rage in anticipation of the spillage of blood to grease their wheels of revolution.

Hundreds, even thousands, gathered in places such as Oakland to protest financial institutions and to further class warfare. You know, the pot that our President stirs at every opportunity to engender a plea from the masses to help them by just making it stop – and if they do, the top will come slamming down from the government, because you will have just invited in the biggest vampire of all and he’s very, very hungry. The Progressives are very well organized and have a very detailed plan for taking us down. They even have manuals and instructions for children concerning revolution and anarchy. Nothing is beneath them and the truth means nothing to these people. The ends justify the means.

Anarchists on Parade

Protesters far outnumbered the police who bravely stood their ground in some areas, not giving an inch, while in other cities, they stood passively by while Occupiers spread their hate and abuse. Choking, stinging gas was used in some instances; batons in others. Police were hit by paint, food, bottles and refuse. On and on it went and we are just at the beginning of possibly the most nationally turbulent summer in our history since the Civil War.

Last year, we told you this was coming and by what I have seen, it is going to be worse than I thought. Don’t shrug these lunatics and freaks off, they are deadly serious and they will kill for what they perceive is theirs.

Blocking traffic, calling for general strikes, breaking windows, destroying cars – it was all in a day’s fun for the anarchists, Communists and radicals – the very heart of the mayhem was the Black Bloc. Hardcore anarchists bent on destruction and violence and their numbers are growing. All of them want revolution and it doesn’t matter whether you believe in their cause or not. They are bringing it to your door.

Supporting the New Black Panthers – who would kill her for the crime of being white

Many of the protesters, including anarchists, sported peace symbols on their shields, signs and shirts. They must have a different definition of ‘peace’ than most of us do. People proudly supported the New Black Panthers, like the girl above. Ironically, if they got their way, she would have her throat slit. But she wasn’t the only useful idiot. Many wore Marx, Mao and Guevara shirts – unwittingly singing the praises of those who murdered millions. Many more sported Communist insignia or anarchist chic attire and flags. Death, death and more death. When the long knives come out, these useful idiots will be among the first to die.

The Young, The Stupid, The Violent

One wonders what their parents think seeing them on television? Have they tried to warn them? Explain to them that this is evil and deadly? Do their families mourn them as already lost or celebrate them as martyrs to the cause? Or do they celebrate them as Marxists? Will they weep when it is finally too late?

Thousands came out across the world to protest austerity measures and demand that they be given more money, whether they earned it or not. But the truth is, there really is no more money and the worldwide party has already ended, they just don’t realize it yet. As more and more realize that austerity isn’t just an option, but a way of life, they will ratchet up the violence even more and the innocent will die with the rest of them. Yes, even here in America. With our debt and weak kneed leaders, we are no longer immune to darkness spreading its wings across the globe. If we don’t cut spending and reverse course — and soon — permanent financial night will fall across our land and a new form of the Dark Ages will come into being.

All the Little Communist Occupiers in a Row

It will be a long, brutal summer and this fall may be even worse leading up to the election. I want you to remember something. The people you see rioting are not the majority of Americans. They are not what we stand for. They are being used. They are the “one percent.” There is a choice between good and evil and they chose, either knowingly or unwittingly, evil. If we stand with God and with what is right, we will win. Good always prevails in the end, its just takes longer in some instances than others.

While all the little Communist Occupiers line up in a row, make sure your family isn’t part of that. Stay away from it as long as you can. Violence only begets more violence and it is this that the government needs to further their goals of bringing America down. Talk to your friends, family and neighbors. Vote for the most conservative candidate next election period. If Obama is reelected, we are done as a nation.

Zombie has three great posts up – make sure you read them. Time is short – don’t turn away from this. We must confront evil to defeat it.

The Haymarket Massacre–Chicago, Illinois

By: Dave Logan  -  ThirdWaveDave

Terresa Monroe Hamilton at NoisyRoom Blog gives you a taste of this year’s May Day. Below is history of the same type of event back in the old days of this movement, Chicago, Illinois. I added pics at the bottom with an assist from Marathon Pundit, Greater ChicagoLand Area.

You must read and understand history. Below is your lesson for this election cycle:

COMMIE DAY Print E-mail  -  Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler  -  Thursday, 03 May 2012

One hundred and twenty six years ago today, on the evening of May 3, 1886, a group of men met in the basement of Greif’s Hall on Lake Street in Chicago. Almost all of them were recent immigrants from Germany, and what brought them together was a hatred they had in common.

They called this hatred by various names – they were “anarchists,” “socialists,” “communists,” “syndicalists,” “revolutionaries” – all code-words for anti-capitalist. They all hated capitalism with a fanatically violent fervor. They all claimed to be champions of “workers,” of employees, people who had jobs – and above all human beings on earth they hated those who provided those jobs, the entrepreneurs who created the companies that made those jobs possible.

One of them was Louis Lingg from Mannheim, who had come to America less than a year before. He had taught himself how to make hand-held bombs containing dynamite (invented by Alfred Nobel in 1867), and at the meeting in Greif’s Hall, he gave one of his bombs to Rudolph Schnaubelt, the brother-in-law of one of the meeting’s organizers, Michael Schwab.

The following evening, May 4, a demonstration was held in support of “workingmen’s rights,” organized by an anarchist-socialist German-language newspaper in Chicago, Arbeiter-Zeitung, and its editor, August Spies from Hesse, Germany. It was at Haymarket Square, at West Randolph and Desplains Streets. It was chilly and drizzly, with some 600 in attendance.

At about 10:30pm, with a speaker calling out “To arms!” and advocating violence, Police Inspector John Bonfield, at the head of a contingent of 60 uniformed policemen, called for the meeting to be over and the crowd to disperse. Rudolph Schnaubelt lit Lingg’s bomb and tossed it into the police. Officer Matthias Degan was killed on the spot, six officers died thereafter, and dozens wounded.

A number of demonstrators then pulled out revolvers and began firing at the police, who returned fire, killing four.

History knows this as The Haymarket Massacre. There were eight arrests, including Spies, Schwab, Lingg, and Schnaubelt. Bombs and bomb materials were found in Lingg’s apartment. Schnaubelt escaped (fleeing to South America, he died in Buenos Aires in 1901). Five of the defendants were sentenced to be hung – but only four were, as Lingg committed suicide by smuggling a blasting cap into his cell, which he lit and put in his mouth. It blew off his lower jaw, and it took hours for him to die in agony.

Lingg, along with the four who were hung, lies buried in Chicago’s Waldheim Cemetery. And now comes the part of this story that may make you ill.

There is a Monument to the Haymarket Martyrs in the Waldheim Cemetery – and it is not in honor of the policemen murdered by the anarcho-communists. It is a monument to the murderers. Not only that, it is a Shrine of the Left’s, a pilgrimage site. The Haymarket Murderers have been turned into heroes. Just like a Palestinian terrorist suicide bomber who murders Israeli children is hailed as a shahid, a martyr (link to pic):

http://www.tothepointnews.com/images/stories/2012/haymarket1.png

And it gets worse. It is officially designated (by Clinton in 1997) as a National Historical Landmark, stating: “This monument represents the labor movement’s struggle for workers’ rights.” (link to pic):

http://www.tothepointnews.com/images/stories/2012/haymarket2.png

It is a monument to Communist anarchic murder. Which is why the Communist Party of Illinois calls its website The Spirit of Haymarket. And why May Day – May 1st – is Communism’s “day of international resistance and solidarity against capitalism,” designated as such by the Former Soviet Union, and celebrated by lefties in scores of countries the world over.

May Day was for millennia, especially in Europe, a happy, joyful celebration of life after winter, with dancing around a Maypole and crowning a pretty girl with flowers as Queen of May. Only Communists could take an innocent celebration of springtime and turn it into a day of hate, envy, and beggary.

Only Communists could hijack May Day (May 4th, Haymarket Martyrs Day – close enough to May 1st to hijack), and celebrate terrorist murder instead of life. But that’s what happened, and what happened on May Day this week, with “Occupy” Commies trashing San Francisco, and dozens of other US cities.

May Day is Commie Day. And here is the bottom line, folks. I want you to really pay attention here, to let this sink in to the deepest recesses of your limbic system:

If Zero is reelected in November, every day in America from then on will be Commie Day.

America as we know it will be da svidanya, over, finished, adios, done and dusted. America will be gone. The loss will be irretrievable. Irretrievable.

There is an on-going debate and discussion on this in the Forum. On one side are those who would rather have Zero be elected than Romney.

Their argument is that hell is coming to breakfast in the coming years, for which a RINO like Romney will get blamed, and who does not have what it takes to do more than apply band-aids (such as competing currencies, defaulting on federal debt, wholesale elimination of federal agencies, etc.). Thus in 2016, the horrific economic damage is all Romney’s fault, and Zero or some equally evil Dem will be back in the White House saddle. (Remember that a one-term Zero can always run again.)

So, if we let Zero continue to ruin America, we’ll have a better chance to rescue it four years from now. We’ll have to destroy the village to save it.
Sorry, no sale.

On the other side of this argument is Lynda Mae. I’ll let her own words speak for her:

“Think on these things, TTPers. What Romney would do as President is mere speculation — educated speculation, to be sure, based on his past actions and words. However, we don’t know exactly what he will do, whether he will cut back on governmental departments and government spending or whether he will be afraid to disturb the status quo.

“We don’t know whether Conservatism will have a huge influence on his Administration. It’s the great unknown of any new candidate for the Presidency — what will actually happen once they sit in the Oval Office.

“BUT we DO know what Obama has in store for us. He hates the U.S. He wants to see capitalism and the free enterprise system torn down and replaced with his dictatorial socialism. He wants to see YOU and your businesses not only marginalized but destroyed.

“If anyone thinks that a mess-up of a second term for Obama would mean that a Conservative Republican would be elected in 2016 must think that Obama will not completely and radically change the nation in the next four years, thus making such a change back to sanity possible.

“They must think that after destroying the Constitution, packing the court with Marxists, doing away with our freedom of religion and speech and rights to assemble, giving over U.S. sovereignty to the U.N., depleting our military effectiveness and readiness, rounding up his enemies and giving Holder even more power to race-bait, plus borrowing/spending/stimulating, that Conservatism would still be allowed as a political movement.

“They must think that there would be anyone left to form a government after the national burn-down and war which would ensue when patriots tried to overthrow the dictatorship.

“Hyperbole? Perhaps. Maybe a little too harsh in my opinion? Maybe. But do not think that re-electing Obama will give the nation anything less than a death blow from which recovering would take more years than any TTPer would have left on this earth, no matter his present age.”

I’m with Mae.

Is Skye? Frankly, you want to walk on eggshells when differing with someone whose IQ far exceeds 200. Here’s his advice on the Forum:

“The central government will claim ever increasing powers because words are cheap and the cheapest form of oppression is to make one’s victims believe that the Great Oz is omniscient and omnipotent.

“In reality, there will be ever increasing demands on the central government for resources from many politically powerful players, including recipients of literally hundreds of different types of goodies, entitlements, bailouts, and payoffs – the big brother oppressors have to compete for funding with these other powerful groups. Roman Emperors such as Diocletian found out to their dismay that they couldn’t allocate anywhere near all the available public monies to their goon squads.

“At the same time, the central government’s task of obtaining those resources will inevitably become more and more difficult. The Fed bought 61% of all Treasury Bonds issued last year. As the debt and deficit cans are kicked nearer and nearer to the economic cliff, the cost of either borrowing or printing ‘money’ to feed all those insatiably hungry mouths will increase rapidly.

“The interest on the publicly held National Debt is currently about $220 billion per year – about 10% of all tax receipts. At normal interest rates, it would be about $700-800 billion per year – about 1/3 of all tax receipts. At the interest rates of the late 1970s and early 1980s, it would be about $1,400-1,600 billion per year – about 2/3 of all tax receipts. Does any lender really believe that the US could politically afford to devote over half its income to debt service?

“These realities will, over the next decade, more and more severely limit the resources that the central government spends. If the central government tries to sustain even the current level of spending by printing however much money it takes, it will be game over – for the central government!

“Of course, the central government will do its very best to become more and more oppressive and abusive as it progressively loses its ability to tax, borrow, print, and spend. Those oppressions and abuses will not be equal everywhere, and they will not affect everyone equally.

“The central government will prioritize where it puts its goons and what they do in those areas because – even now – they don’t have enough goons to enforce every law and regulation everywhere all the time. As the central government destroys itself and its resource limitations become more and more imminent and severe, the consequences to decent productive people simply can not be the same everywhere.

“Don’t freak out and give up if ObamaCare BO is re-elected. And don’t buy more than a $10 bottle of cheap champagne if MassCare Romney is elected. Save that money for getting out of Dodge in time. There are always great investment opportunities during chaotic times – if panic or hopelessness doesn’t blind you to them.”

Skye is certainly right that the federalies are neither omniscient nor omnipotent. But it is not their purpose to be. They have no intention whatever of enforcing all their rules on everyone. The purpose of all these tens of thousands of rules and regs is to have one with which to screw you if they so desire, no matter what you do.

So, your choice, if you want to live in Zero’s America, is to hide, obey, not cause the slightest trouble nor draw the slightest negative attention to yourself, nor complain in any way about Zero – or risk being made an example of, with criminal prosecution for not filling out some required form or following some fascist regulation.

I’m not willing to live like that. I am not willing to ride out the Fascist Storm. I am not going to live in a country where every day is Commie Day. The reelection of Zero will be the death of America, and I am too old to wait around for a resurrection that most likely will never come.

We don’t live in Plato’s World of Forms. Marxist lefties and Rothbardian libertarians may dream of a world of perfect freedom however they define it, but such worlds don’t exist. We, all of us, are confined to the real world, as messy and imperfect as it is, for that’s the only one that exists. The choice the real world has now given us is Romney or Zero, for we will end up with one or the other.

With Romney, America has a chance. With Zero, America doesn’t. I’ll take the chance. I want America to survive. And I want this Commie Day last May 1st to be her last.

FTC…

Ps:
TTPers – this is just my two cents in this discussion. Please let the Forum discussion continue – and if you differ with me, do not let that inhibit you in the slightest way! Not that you would anyway….

Police Memorial in Haymarket Square–(Hat Tip: John Ruberry)

The Haymarket sculpture wasn’t the first monument to stand in the Randolph Street area. In 1889 the city erected a statue in memory of the policemen killed in the violence of that May night.

Unlike the 2004 memorial, there was no mention of the spectators who lost their lives. The statue became a popular location for protests, especially for any group that had problems with the police department or the power structure they represented. In the 1920s a public transit driver rammed the statue with his cable car and the sculpture was moved to a nearby park. By 1956, when the city no longer had any cable cars, the monument was brought back to Randolph Street, which is where I remember seeing it. In the 1970s, the Weather Underground took credit for blowing up the monument – twice. It was moved to the Chicago Police Academy in 1976, and in 2007, relocated to the new headquarters of the Chicago Police Department, where I doubt it will ever be blown up again.

Creating an Incident… Ignoring the Facts… Manipulating the Public… Controlling the Media

Sometimes I feel like I am living in an alternative universe… where nothing makes sense…like Alice after falling down the rabbit hole. In fact lately it is a lot more often than just sometimes.

Americans of all colors, religions and creeds elected Barack Hussein Obama to be the 44th President of the United States of America, hoping against all the signs, against all the whispers, in spite of the lack of vetting and the lack of experience of candidate Obama and really against all odds.  Why?  They wanted to believe that he would be the most transparent president ever.  They wanted a new beginning filled with hope for America.  And they wanted the cloud of America’s slavery and racist years to finally be over.  Even the people who didn’t vote for BHO hoped that their fears were wrong and that President Barack Hussein Obama really would be the man those who elected him had been almost hypnotized into believing.

Then came the International apology for America tour by our new president, the beer summit and the ObamaCare cram down and the illusion began to cave in along with the substantiation that the media really was in the bag for the Progressive left and Team Obama and the hope of transparency was an illusion.

There is an old saying: There are are 3-sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth… and then comes everyone’s opinions based on the first 3 sifted through the beholder’s personal bias, experiences and a combination of education, social conditioning and media propaganda.  Team Obama and the Progressive Left are doing their best to control them all.

Demonizing Conservatives

During the 2008 Election and since the Obama administration took power, the demonizing of conservatives has moved into overdrive.  It began with the demonization of Sarah Palin and it has never stopped.  Sean Hannity ran another installment of his Liberal Hate Speech Special Series recently:

Video: Liberal Media’s Hateful Obsession With Sarah Palin

Video: Elite media's biggest liberal offenders

The left attacked, lied about and brutalized not only Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin but her whole family, after Obama announced that politician’s children were off limits, which meant his children.  And the MSM, political pundits and so-called comedians from Ed Schultz to Bill Maher, to Katie Couric to Chris Matthews to Media Matters and the list goes have not only never stopped but have stepped up their game with a vile level of rhetoric that has never before been heard or accepted.  And the libelous attacks have been especially outrageous against women and black/minority conservatives including GOP candidates Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain.  And even though the truth has come out about Sarah Palin, that there was a ‘Journolist’ conspiracy against her, that the law suits against her turned out to be frivolous, most of the negative books written about her have been discredited and the emails released by Alaska from her governorship proved that she was competent and effective, the lies destroyed Palin’s 2012 presidential run opportunity and the attacks against Bachmann and Cain knocked them out of the 2012 election race as well. 

Palin, Bachmann and Cain are all also committed Christians, a category receiving as much distain from the progressive power elite as conservatives, highlighted in: Study Links Being ‘Born Again’ (or a Catholic) to Brain Atrophy.  Funny how ‘progressive atheists’ seem to be so obsessed with religion. (On the flipside on of the best books on American was written by atheist S.E. Cupp: Losing Our Religion)

Video: Bill Maher: Obama’s Million Dollar Man

We have even allowed the leftist media to get away with attacking Palin and Santorum's special needs children. And we have fallen for the media propaganda that Obama is such a fabulous speaker than nobody can debate him, except perhaps former Speaker Gingrich. Really? I’ve seen Sarah Palin speak live. She can mesmerize a room full of people, from a small intimate gathering to the Republican Convention in 2008 without a teleprompter or even notes. President Obama takes a teleprompter to his talks to elementary school children and if you get past the programming, he is pretty dull and often stammers through when they catch him off script and without his prompter, often making remarks that have to be corrected or walked back.  The difference is that the MSM ignores Obama’s mistakes and dwells on the GOP candidates’ and other conservative’s mis-speaks.

Juan Williams and Star Parker were two of the guests on Hannity’s Liberal Hate Speech show highlighting both personal experiences and attacks on themselves as well as the left’s use of intimidation and misinformation plus their use of the welfare system to control blacks and minority populations in general.  Juan Williams, author of Muzzled, was fired from NPR for stating his opinion on the O’Reilly show and was called a porch monkey by the left for a pervious statement.  Star Parker, the author of Uncle Sam's Plantation, was a welfare recipient, on and off for 7-years, until she became a Christian and changed her life around.  Both have been attacked even though Juan is a Democrat and Star is a conservative, but neither fit the progressive left’s stereotype or plan for African Americans in every instance.

  Sandra Fluke Spin

Does anything strike you about these four photos?

Margaret Sanger

Sandra Fluke

The Fluke Thickens… Are Sanger and Fluke Related and Was Rush Right Afterall?

It has become more and more evident that the appearance of Sandra Fluke is/was no fluke but rather she has turned out to be a straw woman for Team Obama and the Progressive left… Sandra Fluke’s appearances on-camera, as well as Rush Limbaugh’s well publicized reaction to her Congressional testimony, turned her into a martyr for the Left.

Sandra Fluke was used by the Obama administration to change the conversation and focus off the real issue, the religious freedom issue, that President Obama was losing when Rush Limbaugh did them a huge favor by allowing himself to be sucked in.  But now there are not only holes in her story but she has been connected to White House advisor and former Commincations Director Anita Dunn as well as to leftist Soros sponsored media group, Media Matters and is a professional activist for contraception, abortion and even taxpayer funds for sex change operations.

Yet again as both the real information and speculations surfaced, the MSM spun the story in Fluke and White House’s favor ignoring anything that resembled the truth or investigative reporting. They have even convinced themselves and more than one uninformed Obama-robot that Rush Limbaugh’s comments, even after an apology, rose to the level of the vile and unacceptable comments made regularly by the left, by the likes of Ed Schultz or Bill Maher, about conservative women.

The Trayvon Martin Case

The Trayvon Martin case is the latest… We are being told by the media that Trayvon Martin was an innocent kid, shown at age 12 instead of 17 by the photo being used on the news, who was just minding his own business walking home from the store while talking on his cell after buying Skittles.

Meanwhile the media has generally already tried George Zimmerman, consistently showing a mug shot instead of a decent photo,  while Obama weighed in on the shooting, saying the incident requires all Americans to “do some soul searching.”

“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids,” he said. “I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative to investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together – federal, state and local – to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened. But my main message is to the parents of Trayvon Martin: If I had a son he’d look like Trayvon. And I think they are right to expect that all of us as Americans are gonna take this with the seriousness it deserves and that we’re going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened.”

“How touching. Obama self-identifying with a ‘designated’ victim without waiting for even the most basic of facts. Don’t expect a beer summit to come from this, they are leveraging racism for chaos”, ignoring that  Zimmerman is half White, half Hispanic and that some of his relatives are Black.  Obama also immediately called on the DOJ to investigate for any racial or civil rights issues.  These actions caused the local Miami-Dade police chief to step aside during the re-investigation and gave the media and the activist left the signal that facts don’t matter.

And of course, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have gone wild spewing their usual racial venomous rhetoric, as the Black Panthers put out a Wanted Dead or Alive flyer offering a $10,000 reward for Zimmerman.

Meanwhile appears a video of: Trayvon Martin was punching Neighborhood Watchman when he was shot

Caption:

This video has statements by a key witness "John" who saw Trayvon beating Zimmerman and who heard Zimmerman screaming "help" contrary to liberal speculation. George Zimmerman followed a suspicious individual, Trayvon Martin through a neighborhood that had suffered 11 recent break ins. Trayvon appeared to be looking around at houses in the rain casing the neighborhood. Trayvon pulled his hoodie over his face and ran after he noticed Zimmerman watching him while he was casing the neighborhood. Zimmerman drove after him, but lost sight. Zimmerman got out of his truck and looked, started walking back to his truck and Trayvon approached him. Zimmerman asked him what he was doing in that neighborhood and Trayvon began violently beating him as opposed to saying he was staying with his father which a reasonable person who hadn't been burglarizing homes might say. Trayvon was a six foot three 17 year old high school football player, contrary to the child photos the media keeps showing.

Below are some more recent picture of Trayvon.  You can contrast with the innocent sweet picture(s) of him when he was 12 that the liberal media is using; just the opposite of George Zimmerman’s picture, showing him in the worst light instead of his employment photo here to the right.

Zimmerman as a private citizen, although not advisable, can follow suspicious people in his neighborhood and in his car and ask them questions. He also was under no obligation to obey the rules of other neighborhood watch organizations, which are being sited in the news.

The police operator said to Zimmerman "We don't need you to do that." when Zimmerman said he was following Trayvon. However that was not an order; it was a suggestion. The police try to discourage people from taking risks that police get paid to take. That suggestion has zero legal bearing on this case.

From the surfacing information, Trayvon committed a felonious, violent assault against Zimmerman – something liberals and the media apparently don't consider a big deal. The violent attack by Trayvon justified Zimmerman defending himself.  Instead of asking why Zimmerman shot Trayvon, perhaps we should be asking what Trayvon was doing for Zimmerman to notice him and why Trayvon violently attacked Zimmerman? And NO being followed by a Neighborhood Watchman is not a justification for a violent assault on the Watchman or anyone. (And yes, we would all have hoped that this would have ended differently, but more and more witnesses seem to be coming out on Zimmerman’s side.)

Everyone of all colors and political affiliations believes that the Trayvon Martin incident  deserves a full investigation but every fair minded person also believes that both parties George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin deserve fair treatment and a fair trial if one is warranted… not to be tried in the media or put in the hands of the New Black Panther Party.

Updates: 

It was announced by Mikhail Muhammad, leader of a small militant organization called the New Black Panther Party, who said he was seeking up to 10,000 black men willing to form a militia to find Mr. Zimmerman and administer what they regard as justice.  Really?  So where is the DOJ’s outrage on this?

The parents of Treyvon Martin attended a Congressional Forum which appointed a special prosecutor. 

Theyvon’s ‘grieving mother’ also found time to file two trademark applications containing her late son’s name amidst all this…  I’m must saying…

'I Am Trayvon': Trademark and more in works

Two days in U.S. Congress has now been taken up with Treyvon Martin –George Zimmerman case instead of dealing with our imploding economy. Rep Bobby Rush Kicked Off House Floor for Wearing ‘Hoodie’. Think about it. While Congressmen were ranting in Hoodies, without having all the evidence: The Fed was/is buying 61 percent of US Debt to push off a crash until after the November election.

And on a side note:

Meet registered Democrat and self-identified Hispanic American, George Zimmerman.  NPR refers to George Zimmerman simply as "white."

Zimmerman, the man at the center of the controversial Trayvon Martin shooting is a registered Democrat.  The MSM is trying their best to spin this as a white prejudice conservative hate crime by a crazy gun owner who took advantage of a good law (now also being targeted by the gun-control lobbyists), without saying it directly.  George Zimmerman is none of those things.  Zimmerman’s friends describe him as a Hispanic (half-white just as President Obama describes himself as Black), not a racist, and a good man working on his degree in criminal justice… including a good African-American friend who has been all over the airwaves defending his George.

But Wait For It… In the Words of Rahm Emanuel and Hillary Clinton… Never Let a Good Crisis go to Waste… So they Aren’t!! Are They Trying to Create a Bubba Effect?, Just Create Move Division?  Or Spark a Reason for More Gun Control and Martial Law?

Organizations exploit Trayvon Martin incident to push their COMMUNIST agenda

Talk about exploitation, Team Obama has just issued a new campaign Obama hoodie.  Coincidence or audacity?

'Hooded' legislators make a point  -  The Times Union

ALBANY — Citing "demonizing stereotypes," a group of mostly African-American and Hispanic state lawmakers wore hooded sweatshirts into the legislative chambers on Monday in solidarity with the family of Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager gunned down a month ago by a neighborhood watch officer who had told police the youth was acting suspicious.

Could This Be Anymore Organized??

In response to the slanted coverage of the Treyvon Martin Case

The University of Texas's Daily Texan and their cartoonist Stephanie Eisner produced this cartoon… on Yellow Journalism and media bias below:

The cartoon is/was right on, but purposely missing the point… instead of the Progressive MSM, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, the NBPP, the DOJ or Team Obama taking another look, the Progressive students  at UT (the bluest city in Texas) are demanding all kinds of crazy things from and of the Daily Texan and their cartoonist Stephanie Eisner.

I am a CNN junkie, but never saw this on CNN or any other TV channel or on the web. Most likely you didn't hear or see this on news either. WHY? yes a BIG BIT WHY?

My main purpose of this video is to let people know this kind of crime in sick, frightening, mentally devastating. My hope is this kind of crime never ever happen again. Thank you.

Hugh Christopher Newsom, Jr., 23, and Channon Gail Christian, 21, were a couple from Knoxville, Tennessee. They were murdered and, according to a Tennessee grand jury, both the man and woman were raped after being kidnapped early on the morning of January 7, 2007. Their vehicle had been carjacked.

The four suspects indicted in Knox County will be tried separately, at trials scheduled between May and August of 2008. Davidson has also been indicted for a second robbery which was committed after the murders. Why not NOW?

People involved in the Christian and Newsom Murder Trials

And Hey MSM, President Obama, Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton...where is your outrage on this?

BLACK teenagers poured gasoline on a WHITE boy walking home from school and set him on fire: cops said Boy's mother says she was told it was not a hate crime?!?

And how about the Near-Total Media Blackout Out on Obama’s Eligibility? <-- <-- Read More Here

Whether it is true or crap… shouldn’t we investigate and know the truth?

Excerpts:

When Fox was setting up the time for Jerome Corsi to be interviewed on Muller’s debut show, he was specifically prohibited by the show’s producers from discussing anything to do with the constitutional eligibility questions still plaguing Obama.

Corsi has been the nation’s leading investigative journalist on the Obama eligibility issue and is the author of the New York Times bestseller Where's the Birth Certificate? As such, he played a central role in introducing the issue to Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The sheriff’s investigative team recently completed the first phase of an ongoing law-enforcement investigation into the many vexing and totally un-vetted issues of Obama’s past that bear directly on the legality of his serving as president.

Corsi agreed to the restrictions on the Mancow interview, and the Fox segment was taped and scheduled for broadcast.

But then, Corsi’s publicist received a call from the show’s producer saying network executives had viewed the segment and determined that it “didn’t fit,” and thus would be scrubbed.

“It’s clear censorship at Fox,” according to Corsi.

If this is the case at Fox… you know it won’t be heard on MSM stations that are bias toward Obama and the Progressive left.  Even Russian media are exposing Obama birth 'forgery' and I have read the same in many International publications, who are laughing at us.

We are being played and manipulated America and it is time that we (the people) wake up, educate ourselves to understand the process and stand up!! The tools of divide and conquer; political correctness; mis-reported hate-speech; created chaos; manipulation of public opinion by selective reporting; and utilizing the Cloward & Piven strategy and Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, whereby you spin the news and blame your enemy for doing what you are actually doing and diverting everyone’s attention from you and what is important are being used on us daily. And between now and 2012 Election the spin, pressure, mis-information and chaos will continue to increase. 

Team Obama is worried and creating chaos and crisis is definitely and option in their wheelhouse.

Please join the fight and help make sure that others know the truth and see what is going on as well.  Help make Obama a one term president and prepare yourself for the worst… just in case.  There is too much at stake to remain a neutral bystander.

Now Playing - The Segmenter-in-Chief

A recent opinion piece in the New York Times revealed that Democratic Party strategists have effectively written off the white working class vote, 43% to 48% of the overall electorate. With that revelation, we have come full circle on a presidency built on a lie, one that was perpetrated on the American people the night of July 27, 2004 at the Fleet Center in Boston, Massachusetts. Here’s how it went down:

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us -- the spin masters, the negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of "anything goes." Well, I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America -- there is the United States of America. There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America.

The pundits, the pundits like to slice-and-dice our country into Red States and Blue States; Red States for Republicans, Blue States for Democrats. But I’ve got news for them, too. We worship an "awesome God" in the Blue States, and we don’t like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and yes, we’ve got some gay friends in the Red States. There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.

Those words, spoken by Barack Obama, then a U.S. Senate candidate from Illinois, set the stage for one of the most improbable victory runs in recent American political history. A little-known Illinois state senator made a name for himself that night. Less than four and a half years later, and after serving in the U.S. Senate for just over two years before announcing his candidacy for president, he stood on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, raising his right hand to take the oath of office as the 44th President of the United States of America.

I refer back often to his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention because he played a character that night, like an actor in a movie, and we bought into it. Behold “The Great Uniter,” bringing hope and change to a divided nation after years of foreign wars and domestic strife. His book, The Audacity of Hope, continued the charade, and even I was fooled after reading it:

My thoughts after reading the book? To paraphrase British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s comments after her initial meeting with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, “I like Mr. Obama. We can do business together.” Yes, we are on opposite ends of the political spectrum, but his words suggest he seeks to understand and doesn’t instantly dismiss people like me in the self-righteous and condescening way liberals have adopted when addressing their conservative counterparts. He speaks of extending “the presumption of good faith to others” with whom he may not agree. He speaks honestly about the complexity of the challenges we face and the need for both sides to give a little and stay focused on common desired outcomes to move us forward. As he describes his various positions on issues, he demonstrates a broad understanding and isn’t afraid to give merit and consideration to concepts and approaches outside of liberal orthodoxy. The bottom line is that he treats his readers, whether they agree with him or not, with respect, he doesn’t presume to have all the answers, and he searches for areas of agreement as a starting point for dialogue because his emphasis is on getting things done. I think Americans are hungering for that kind of maturity in our politicians, and that is why he’s having an impact in this presidential race that exceeds his relative inexperience on the national political stage.

That was over four years ago, before it became clear to me who he really is. I went from hopeful to conflicted, and from there to cynical as everyone swooned over "The Chosen One":

Perhaps Senator Obama is the perfect candidate for our times. In our celebrity-driven culture, substance matters less than style and Senator Obama has style in spades. Young, handsome, bright and oratorically gifted, he’s tailor-made for the age of “American Idol” and “Entertainment Tonight.” While it’s true that a President must be not just the nation’s chief executive but also a visionary leader and purveyor of hope, this is the first time in my recollection that the scales have tipped so dramatically toward inspiration over execution. We need to turn our gaze away from his illuminated being and think critically about what he actually proposes to do. As English philosopher, statesman and author Francis Bacon once said, “Hope is a good breakfast but it is a bad supper.”

Still, as he stood on that stage on Grant Park in Chicago that cool November evening, as grown men and women wept over the significance of what this supposedly irredeemably racist nation had just done, he once again stepped into character and, once again, he gave me false hope:

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.

There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who wont agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government cant solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.

I’m sorry, Mr. President, but this is not a movie, a play or a TV show. Just like many of our favorite entertainers disappoint us when they stop performing and actually open their mouths to express their opinions, you have revealed yourself to be a typical politician, willing to employ whatever political calculus you need to win.
Whether it’s ramming Obamacare through the Congress with false promises, backroom deals and “cooked” numbers that, slowly and over time, are revealed to be pure fiction, or launching a full-scale, all-out assault on success in America by demonizing the “makers” and antagonizing the “takers” over perceived injustices, or appealing to racial and class animus, you have dropped your mask and revealed yourself to be divisive, cynical and hypocritical.
Even as your party’s strategists dismiss the white working class voter as winnable for you, you continue to portray yourself as a populist fighting for the “little guy,” even though the numbers expose your lies.

Wall Street is fattening your campaign coffers more than all the Republican candidates combined, and they’ve made more money in the less than three years you’ve been the president than they did during the entire eight years of President Bush’s two terms. The public kabuki dance you and your Wall Street friends are performing, in which you say nasty things about each other, is yet another performance designed to mislead us.

I’m not falling for your act again, Mr. President. You are a charlatan and, worse, you are a fragmenter, a divider, a segmenter-in-chief. Are you so committed to victory that you’re willing to rip the nation apart in order to win?

Neither you nor your opponent, should he or she be the victor, will be able to put us back together again after you’ve done your damage and, in the midst of the worldwide crisis we are facing, your actions are unworthy of the leader of the free world.

May I suggest a new role, one which you have neglected for most of your term - how about president of and for all the people of these United States of America?

Anarchist Theater – Days of Stage

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton – at the NoisyRoom

LaborUnionReport.com

The Days of Rage non-event came and went Saturday. The overall conclusion was basically a giant meh… Instead of the publicized 20,000 purported to show, I understand it was between 700 and 1,000 in number. Not bad for a bunch of anarchist, Progressive hippies, but not exactly the end of America as we know it either. I heard wild reports of half a million and others of 5,000. I would put my money on the low end though.

You had the usual calls for throttling big business and wealth redistribution that Marxists are known for. There were a couple of passionate bullhorn rants on how tearing down the whole system is what America really needs. And then there was yoga in the park. You could hear the massive yawn from America as a whole from coast to coast as if to say, “Is that all you are bringing to this dead man’s party?” Impressive fail.

Ironic Surrealism

The protesters were blocked from marching on Wall Street by the NYPD, but they still continued onward. You had a wide assortment of the disaffected. Code Pink was there, the usual Israel-haters were in attendance, those who want money for nothing and chicks for free (or something to that collective effect) were enthusiastically marching in lock step as well. Democratic Socialists of America were there chanting: “The workers, united, will never be defeated.” There were about 25 of them. Another impressive fail.

The rabble rousers did call for revolution though:

We call for workers to not only strike, but seize their workplaces collectively, and to organize them democratically. We call for students and teachers to act together, to teach democracy, not merely the teachers to the students, but the students to the teachers. To seize the classrooms and free minds together.

Comrades in arms, no? Two were arrested for wearing bandannas on their faces and trying to illegally enter a Bank of America I believe. No one bothered getting permits. Hmmm… Permits must only apply to Conservatives and Tea Party groups.

Sigh… Don’t you people have something better to do? Like look for work or start a business?

But this is just the first in a series of protests. More to come in Chicago and other places and there was one in Seattle on Saturday as well. And they have supporters from multiple quarters, both confirmed and unconfirmed. Anonymous is the biggest backer, but I wouldn’t be surprised to find others funding these movements and the Democrats seem to support these protests. But if Russia Today was actually hoping for a great turnout and maybe a little mayhem, they were very disappointed.

But, don’t be fooled by how lame all of it appeared… There is real anger and outrage out there. And it is building. As America slips into a depression, that anger will mount and mount if nothing is done. It could very well boil over on both sides as the American Fall takes hold.

All of the protests, the anger, the suffering, can be attributed to our current administration. Obama is spending us off a cliff. While there are good and bad corporations out there, it is Progressive leadership that has led us down a debt strewn path towards a Cloward and Piven cliff – and Obama is waiting there with his comrades to push America off to her doom on the fiscal rocks below. With glee I might add. So the Days of Rage are just beginning. Never underestimate the potential for mischief from a bunch of petulant “fully-entitled” anarcho-wannabes.

One of my favorite authors, Mark Steyn, described the end of America in a succinct and colorful way. From his incredibly awesome book, After America:

A is for ADDICTION
We spend too much, borrowing from the future to such an extent it’s no longer clear we’ve got one.

R is for REDISTRIBUTION
Day by day, an unprecedented transfer of wealth from the productive class to the obstructive class is delivering a self-governing republic into rule by regulators, bureaucrats, and social engineers.

M is for MONOPOLY
Old ruling class: “We the People.” New ruling class: “We the People who know better than you frightful people…” America is ruled not be a meritocracy but by a cartel of conformicrats imposing a sterile monopoly of outmoded ideas.

A is for ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
“Yes, we can”? No, we can’t! By comparison with the past, America is already seizing up.

G is for GLOBAL RETREAT
As Britain and other great powers quickly learned, the price of Big Government at home is an ever smaller presence abroad. An America turned inward will make for a more dangerous world.

E is for ENGINEERING
“Celebrate Diversity”? The ideological homogeneity and social engineering of the nation’s schools would be regarded as child abuse in any other age. Aside from its other defects, it diverts too many Americans into frivolous unproductive activity, while our competitors get on with the real work.

D is for DECAY
Mired in dependency and decline, much of the United States will be on a fast track to the Third World. And, no matter how refined the upscale communities the elites retrench to, it will prove increasingly impossible to insulate yourself from the pathologies a decadent liberalism has loosed to rampage Godzilla-sized across the land.

D is for DISINTEGRATION
We are becoming the highly singular United States of America. No advanced society has ever tried hyper-regulatory direct rule for 350 million people. Will it work? Or is it more likely that increasingly incompatible jurisdictions and social groups will conclude that the price for keeping fifty stars in the flag is too high? Without the American idea, there will be insufficient glue to hold the United States together.

O is for OPEN SEASON
Do you find it hard to imagine a world without America? The Russians, the Chinese, and the would-be New Caliphate don’t. And on a planet where rich passive nations are defenseless while every failed state from North Korea to Sudan is butching up, it’s not hard to figure out what comes next.

N is for NUKES AWAY!
Addiction, Redistribution, Monopoly, Arteriosclerosis, Global retreat, social Engineering, Decay, Disintegration, Open season, Nukes away. Put them all together, they spell…?

From Big Government to busted government, from federally regulated school bake sales to Armageddon – in nothing flat.

So, the event Saturday was merely anarchist theater – call it the Days of Stage. But that was only the opening act. The real production is the American Fall. If we don’t clean house of the Progressives in our midst on both sides of the aisle, America will fall hard and fast at some point. It won’t be a genteel slide into decay as Europe has done. No, we are a world power and you know the old saying, “The bigger they are, the harder (and faster) they fall.”
