Europe’s Woes: America’s Warning


Europe’s Woes America’s Warning

by Nidra Poller

SOURCE

It is difficult to imagine how European nations could find the will and the ways to counter the subversive forces they have invited upon themselves and allowed to flourish for more than three decades. The current phase of global jihad, already underway in the much vaunted decolonization process, coalesced with the seizure of power in Iran by Ayatollah Khomenei (who had been living as a pampered refugee in France). But the American reader should be wary of concluding that Europe is lost…and the United States is standing firm.

On the contrary, all of Western civilization is under fire. As promised during the campaign, Barack Hussein Obama is making a radical change in American policy. Not of course the glorious change his worshippers promised themselves, but a troubling shift toward dhimmitude. The newly elected president lost no time in pleading guilty as charged by Muslim authorities and promising to refrain from further rebellion in order to receive their benevolent indulgence.

Similar methods produce similar results. Jihad forces in Europe–and in the United States–used Israel’s Cast Lead operation in Gaza as a pretext to organize virulent, violent pro-Hamas demonstrations. Because Europe is further down the path to surrender, the enraged pro-Hamas mobs were more violent, destructive, and physically threatening here than in the United States. But in both cases they advanced their dominion. This should be recognized as authentic conquest of territory by enraged mobs bearing down on hapless victims in an ominous show of force and not, as claimed and widely accepted, citizen demonstrators exercising their right to free speech.

If you can carry signs equating the Magen David with the swastika, if you can scream “Jews to the ovens” in the face of Zionists in Ft. Lauderdale Florida, if you can storm into a synagogue in Caracas, Venezuela and terrorize the congregation, if you can bully the police in England, smash up the Place de l’Opéra in Paris, burn Israeli and American flags, shout Allahu Akbar without meeting resolute opposition, it means you can keep going and ultimately fulfill those murderous promises. Do American Jews understand what was acquired by these phony demonstrations that are really paramilitary operations? Wherever those enraged mobs set foot they transformed the streets into de facto waqf territory.

Each successive crisis is an opportunity to ratchet up Jew hatred and the concomitant assault on Western civilization, achieving, step by step, tacit acceptance of the unspeakable. Here is how it works: first, the provocation. Jihadist attacks—thousands of rockets launched against Israel, a few airplanes flown into the WTC, capture and beheading of hostages, roadside bombs, inhuman pizzeria bombers, nuclear weapons programs—finally provoke a riposte. Bingo! The Muslim wailing machine goes into action. It is immediately picked up by complicit Western media and transmitted, with a Good Journalism stamp of approval, to public opinion. Israel, the United States and anyone else who dares to fight back is accused of war crimes, peace crimes, and original sin. This justifies subsequent acts of subversion and aggression against the free world.

When the United States used its formidable military force and assumed its international responsibilities, European nations, with rare exceptions, exploited opposition to “the war in Iraq” to undermine the American superpower. This agitation was exploited in turn by jihad interests to advance the Islamization of Europe…and by ricochet to influence domestic politics in the United States as Obamamania surfed on the theme of repairing America’s battered image.

The European Union, with France in the lead, vaunting its diplomatic savoir faire, competes with the U.S. for influence in the Middle East, and always seems to pull in the Arab direction. French ceasefire diplomacy restrained Israel’s capacity to defeat Iranian proxies—Hizbullah in 2006, Hamas today. The harsh criticism of Israel and the U.S. that underlies this self-righteous peacemaking fuels domestic pro-jihad protest marches that end in attacks against police and property, further undermining government authority in Europe and endangering local Jewish populations.

All of this subversive activity is advanced by what I call “lethal narratives.” These are stories of what is happening generated by global jihad and relayed by Western media and officialdom. Unlike propaganda, which is used in conjunction with military activity aimed at defeating an enemy in battle, lethal narratives are used in lieu of military action. Promotion of enemy propaganda in past conflicts was limited to a small minority of traitors and fellow travelers; today, lethal narratives are swallowed by all but a minority of résistants, who are marginalized, labeled extremists, persecuted and prosecuted. Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers who stormed through European cities screaming “death to Israel, death to the Jews” go scot free but Dutch politician Geert Wilders is prosecuted for “hate speech” for showing the connection between these same declarations, from Qur’anic verses to contemporary sermons, and murderous acts such as 9/11.

The lethal narrative, a tissue of lies made credible by a superficial journalistic veneer, becomes the accepted version of what is happening. G.W. Bush lied about Saddam’s WMDs, the neocons wanted a war in Iraq, torture at Guantanamo, hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, an unbeatable insurgency, the war spawned a thousand terrorists for every one that was killed, etc. Another tissue of lies was issued during the Cast Lead operation: the homemade rockets were harmless; Gaza is an open prison; the Gaza population suffered a humanitarian crisis, no food, water, electricity, medicine; Israel engaged in intentional massacre of civilians, bombing mosques, UN schools, babes in arms and, the last straw, deliberately killed the daughters of the good-hearted doctor who practices in both Gaza and Tel Aviv.

In less than a decade life has become problematic for European Jews. It started with the al Dura blood libel on September 30, 2000 and has steadily worsened since. During periods of relative calm, we tell ourselves that the nightmare is over. When the tension exacerbates, as happened during the Gaza operation, it becomes obvious that we have no future anywhere in Europe—and Europe has no future anyway!

France, with the largest Muslim and Jewish populations and the greatest diplomatic ambition, is emblematic of the Western European condition. The Sarkozy government is sincerely troubled by the upsurge of anti-Semitism—approximately 150 incidents reported since the start of Cast Lead. The president promises to put an end to this unacceptable behavior but declares, in the next breath, that “Islamophobia” will be punished as severely as anti-Semitism, falsely implying that Jews are attacking Muslims, and effectively blocking an honest investigation of the Islamic sources of Jew hatred

On another level, the “Obama effect” works against Jews in France and more generally in Europe. Thrilled by the multicultural chic of a black president in the powerful U.S., Europeans vow to give more than equal opportunity to their own “visible minorities” in the hopes of getting themselves a YesWeCan president in the near future. Unfortunately, the integration of law-abiding Muslims into European society also serves as cover for infiltration by subversive Muslims.

Political enfranchisement of European Muslims in the absence of genuine acceptance of Western values is another destabilizing factor. Instead of promoting a peaceful climate of mutual respect, the rise of Muslims into executive positions in public and private sectors may lead to ethnic favoritism that will be prejudicial to Jewish colleagues and candidates, rebuffed to get even for an alleged previous supremacy or punished whenever there is a flare-up in the Middle East. Serious problems in public education, up to the university level, further compromise the future of Europe and more precisely of European Jews.

The far left, unashamedly aligned with European jihad movements, proudly marched with pro-Hamas mobs that systematically ended their “demonstrations” with attacks against property and the police. Fearful of losing ground, the parliamentary left also sidles toward this constituency, hiding its perfidy behind dubious humanitarian concerns. CID [Centre d’information et de documentation de démocratie et de Moyen Orient] reports from Brussels that all political parties except the droite libérale marched along with the keffieh-wrapped mobs that shouted “death to Israel, death to the Jews.” Another aggravating factor is the economic crisis, exploited by the left to mobilize and channel discontent into increasingly aggressive demonstrations, strikes and civil disobedience, while the right, hungry for capital, welcomes sharia finance with open arms.

In 2003, when Jewish boys from Hashomer Hazair were beaten up by anti-war protestors, I described the incident as a “peace march verging on pogrom.” Alain Finkielkraut applied the term to the 2005 banlieue riots, then withdrew it as inappropriate. Was it an exaggeration? Or foresight? There can be no doubt that the enraged mobs storming through European and American cities will go further.

No longer content to throw fire bombs or ram burning cars into synagogues, they now want to break in during services. Thirty men traveled from Mulhouse to Strasbourg for that purpose. Their plan failed…that time. Carjackers in a Parisian suburb, discovering their victim was Jewish, slashed his neck four times with exquisite cruelty until the blood flowed. That crime was denounced as anti-Semitic but the culprits have not been found, and other incidents are left hanging with question marks, as if to calm the populace. A Jewish doctor was shot dead in another Parisian suburb, the warehouse of the biggest kosher food distributor in still another was burned down.

Europeans who do cherish their freedom try to organize, speak out, influence their governments. They see—or saw—America as a refuge, a haven, a beacon of liberty. Many see Israel as a sterling example of résistance against global jihad. Though life looks quite normal on the surface, we are living in a perilous, highly volatile situation in which, precisely, normal life is a battlefield. As these lines are written, Iran announces the launch of a satellite that could leave southern European cities no less vulnerable than Sderot. The news landed like a monster walking into a bustling café. The excited chatter about peace talks and negotiation and friendly outreached hands falls silent. If existential fear has finally stricken the heart of European governments, all is not lost.

Ruby Ridge

Never Forget What The US Government Did At Ruby Ridge!

Recalled by John of AllFaith 02.28.2009

In harmony with accepted internet Fair use Policies

A lot of people seem to have forgotten about the Ruby Ridge Ambush!

But we NEED to remember what the U.S. government did at Ruby Ridge as we prepare for what they are planning to do to us all soon.

The following is an extract from a very long and good piece explaining the whole affair. I strongly recommend reading it all!

Ambush at Ruby Ridge

How government agents set Randy Weaver up and took his family down

Alan W. Bock | October 1993 Print Edition

There’s some question about whether Randy Weaver ever received a notification, even the one giving the wrong trial date. In any case, he apparently decided not to appear, fearing he would be railroaded into prison without an opportunity to defend himself properly, on the basis of false testimony. He spent the next 18 months on his mountain, hardly even venturing outside the cabin. Friends brought food and other supplies for the family, which by August 1992 included Sara, 16, Sammy, 14, Rachel, I0, and a 10-month-old baby, Elisheba.

Meanwhile, the feds began an elaborate 16-month surveillance of the cabin and surrounding area. Federal agents testified in court that they never seriously considered simply knocking on the door and serving the arrest warrant, because they feared an armed confrontation. Instead, they paid a neighbor (a relative term in this terrain but the house was on the only road to the Weaver property) to record the comings and goings of visitors and take down license numbers. They paid for a phone line to be installed at the neighbor’s house. They placed agents of the BATF and the U.S. Marshals Service on and around the property, usually in full camouflage gear. Agents went to the cabin in the guise of people interested in an adjacent piece of prop erty that had no source of water and hadn’t had a serious prospective buyer in years.’

Two concealed video cameras, one solar powered, were set up to monitor the family’s activities and visitors. Sniper positions were scouted The feds discussed various plans, including the the use of stun guns and tear gas, cutting the water supply and kidnapping Sara, who slept in the "birthing house" (a shed several yards from the main cabin) during her menstrual period. About 160 hours of videotape were recorded. Agents rented a whole condominium building in Spokane as a base of operations. Neighbors and friends were questioned. Planes and helicopters were rented for aerial reconnaissance and photography. The habits of the family dogs were studied. Phone taps were ordered for several residences and for the phones at the general store.

Your tax dollars at work. All to capture a man accused of a minor gun offense, a charge that might well have been rejected had it come to trial. Even if Weaver had been found guilty on the weapons charge, he would probably have gotten a shorter sentence than the one he imposed on himself by holing up in his cabin.

The Weavers were aware of being watched, although they may not have known how extensive the operation was. They saw lowflying aircraft, and Vicki even invited a couple of obviously nervous "real estate prospects" into the cabin for coffee one day. Some friends report the family believed they would all be killed eventually, while others say the Weavers expected the feds to get tired of the game. Perhaps their attitude shifted back and forth.

Finally, on August 21, 1992, the ultimate tragedy began. A six-man team from the Special Operations Group of the U.S. Marshals Service came onto the Weavers’ property at 4:30 a.m., dressed in full camouflage and ski masks, carrying night vision goggles and silenced 9-mm M-16 machine guns with laser scopes. Three deputy marshals, Lawrence Cooper, William Degan, and Art Roderick, poked around close to the cabin, while the other three, in radio contact, were placed at observation points. The agents testified that they were doing surveillance for a possible future operation. A medical team was on alert at the bottom of the hill...

... After poking around the property for a while, the three deputy marshals stood behind the rock near the driveway, well below the cabin, and started throwing little stones up toward the cabin, to "see if they could get the dogs’ attention." Soon Striker, the family’s yellow labrador, began following the agents, who circled the property along the logging road to the "Y," where there’s a thick stand of trees.

Sammy Weaver and Kevin Harris, apparently believing the dog had sniffed out a deer or some other game (the family was out of meat), followed the dog along the logging road. Randy Weaver went down the straighter, easier trail. It’s a fairly standard hunting practice to get a deer surrounded and trapped.

Cooper testified that before the deputy marshals could take cover (he said they feared being shot in the back), they saw Randy coming down the trail and ordered him to stop. Randy yelled at Kevin and Sammy to head back for the cabin, that it was an ambush. He fired a couple of shots in the air and ran toward the cabin.

Cooper and Degan took cover in the stand of trees. The dog and the two boys came to the "Y" and turned up the trail toward th cabin. What happened next is still in dispute.

Cooper told the jury that as the boys passed their concealed spot, Degan crouched on one knee and yelled, "Stop, U.S. Marshal!"–whereupon Kevin fired his .30-06 rifle from the hip and shot Degan in the chest. But Idaho State Police Capt. David Neale testified that shortly after the battle, Roderick told him that he, Roderick, had fired first, wounding and then killing Sammy’s dog, Striker. And although the government initially claimed that Degan was killed by the first shot of the battle, seven shells from his gun were found near the deputy marshals’ hiding place.

What is certain is that the dog was shot in the rear end (suggesting that he was running away) and then killed by a second shot. Sammy Weaver, who was running toward the cabin, wheeled around, yelled something like "you shot my dog, you son of a bitch," fired a couple of rounds, and started running again. He was shot twice–first wounded in the elbow and then killed by a bullet in the back. Kevin fired his .30-06 at the marshals and believed he had hit Degan, though he insists the marshals started shooting first and he was firing in self-defense after Sammy was hit....

..... Toward evening, Randy and Kevin retrieved Sammy’s body, wrapped it as best they could, and put it in the birthing shed near the main cabin. A siege that was to last 11 days was under way.

What happened the next day may have been determined on an airplane taking Richard Rogers, commander of the FBl’s Hostage Rescue Team, from Washington, D.C., to Idaho. The law ordinarily permits the use of deadly force by law-enforcement officers only when the officers or others are in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. But in writing the "rules of engagement" for the siege to follow, Rogers, who had not yet spoken to anyone who had actually been at the cabin, didn’t know aboutthe 14 shots fired by the deputy marshals. He seemed to be under the impression that a fierce two-way gun battle was going on even as he wrote. So he decided that any armed adult outside the Weaver cabin should be subject to "shoot-to-kill" sniping, whether or not that person was menacing anyone.

..... The family owned 14 weapons–all legal until a couple of shotguns were sawed off at a government snitch’s behest. That may seem like a lot of guns to some, especially city dwellers, but it isn’t very unusual in rural areas.

The arrival of the hostage team marked the beginning of buildup. At least 400 people equipped with sophisticated militar hardware, including "humvees," armored personnel carriers, an. various aircraft, were eventually deployed in the woods around Randy Weaver’s plywood cabin.

The rules of engagement supposedly required a warning before any shots were fired, but that didn’t happen. On August 22, the day after the shootout, Randy Weaver left the cabin for the little outbuilding that held his son’s body. As he raised his arm to unlatch the door to the shed, he was shot by a sniper posted on the mountainside. The bullet entered his right shoulder area and exited near his armpit. He and Kevin Harris, who was also outside, ran for the cabin. Vicki Weaver stood in the doorway, yelling for the two to hurry, cradling baby Elisheba in her arms. She was unarmed.

As Kevin Harris tumbled into the house, another shot from the sniper went through the glass window and entered Vicki Weaver’s temple, killing her instantly. The bullet and fragments of Vicki’s skull went on to injure Kevin Harris’s arm and torso, breaking a rib and puncturing one of his lungs.

The sniper, Lon Horiuchi, was a West Point graduate armed with state-of-the--art sniping equipment and trained to be accurate to within a quarter inch at 200 yards. He claims he missed Kevin and hit Vicki by accident. But Bo Gritz, the former Green Beret commander who eventually negotiated Randy Weaver’s surrender, said that after he became a negotiator the FBI showed him a psychological profile of the family prepared for the Marshals Service before the siege that described Vicki as the "dominant member" of the family. "Vicki was the maternal head of the family," Gritz told the Spokane Spokesmar-Review. "I believe Vicki was shot purposely by the sniper as a priority target.... The profile said, if you get a chance, take Vicki Weaver out."

In any case, Vicki Weaver was dead. Her body remained in the kitchen, covered with a sheet, for a week....

..... If the holocaust in Waco hadn’t happened even as the Weaver trial was under way, all this might be an essentially regional story of government bungling with tragic results. But Waco did happen. The lead agency was the BATF, determined to make an arrest of dubious public-safety importance with an overwhelming show of force. The FBI got involved when the confrontation became a siege (Dick Rogers was on the scene at Waco too), and massive amounts of military and paramilitary equipment were deployed against American citizens. The option of a simple arrest was rejected in favor of a military-style attack. Innocent people were killed.


And then a year the Federal government bombed the OK City Federal Building blaming it on the Militias.... And the tragedies continue to mount as the Federal Government of the United States continues its war on the American people in preparation for martial law and the implementation of the North American Union.

The following videos offer a fairly balanced view of the US Government Murders. Some of the information is a bit off. I obviously do not support the Antisemitism of the Aryan Nations nor did the Weavers even though they did have such associates. In any case, this assault on this American family was completely unjustified:

Interesting Glen Beck -- Chuck Norris Conversation

Part One

Part Two

This is a rush transcript from "Glenn Beck," February 26, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.

GLENN BECK, HOST: This show is insane, and I very well may be insane as well. I just don't know why people watch this show, but thank you for doing so.

Let's see. We've talked about the spending. We've had a gun expert on. We yelled at a senator, and now we got Chuck Norris here. Hey, Chuck, how are you, man?

CHUCK NORRIS, AUTHOR, "BLACK BELT PATRIOTISM": Doing great, Glenn. Thanks.

BECK: Good. Martial arts expert, TV star — you know. I'm going to tell you, if he was here, I would take him down with a chop to the neck. Also author of the best-selling book, "Black Belt Patriotism."

Chuck, we just had Scott, a gun store owner and we were talking about guns. And I know the blogs are going, "He made his kid cry, you know, having a gun." There is something to be said for the independents, not even with a gun, but just like with you. I mean, your whole body is a weapon, as is mine.

Why is everybody laughing like that? I could take you out. So there is something to be said — this is really obnoxious, how hard everybody is laughing.

NORRIS: Well, you'd better stop eating those cupcakes and all those M & M's, Glenn.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: That's what I'm saying.

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: You want a piece of me, Norris? Come on, brother!

(LAUGHTER)

NORRIS: There is something to be said about what, Glenn?

BECK: There is something to be said about the independent feeling of being able to be self-reliant, to be able to protect yourself, and be independent, is there not?

NORRIS: Well, yes. The whole thing is that's the Second Amendment — the Second Amendment. The final line in the Second Amendment says, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

That means not by the president, not by Congress. They are not allowed to take our rights away with this because of the Second Amendment, Glenn. And the thing is, I have a 700-acre ranch in Texas. And I have a lot of guns on my ranch.

I don't use them for hunting. I'm not a hunter. But the thing is, it's for protection. And the Second Amendment was designed for tyranny against the government. If the government decides to become a tyrannical government, our guns are to protect us against that. And that's really what the Second Amendment is all about, Glenn.

BECK: So you know, here is the thing, Chuck. You know, the government doesn't want us to have weapons and yet, they have weapons. I think the biggest weapon they have is the IRS. Nobody even understands. I just — I read a letter from ...

NORRIS: You're hitting a real sore point with me right there.

BECK: They can use taxes as a weapon, and the IRS code that that you can't even figure out — am I wrong on that?

NORRIS: No, the thing is that you are guilty until proven innocent with the IRS, the only law where you're guilty until proven innocent. The whole thing is with the IRS Tax code — you know, I heard on your show, the guy says like, 40,000 pages in the IRS. It's 66,498 pages in the IRS Tax code, Glenn.

BECK: OK.

NORRIS: Now, who in the world knows what's in all those pages? I mean, there’s a thousand pages in the stimulus.

BECK: All right. Hey, hey. Norris, Norris, Norris!

NORRIS: Yes.

BECK: Pipe down before I take your neck and go —

NORRIS: Hey, you're rubbing off on me, Glenn.

BECK: I mean — like that. On the other side of the break. Back in a second.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

BECK: Back with us once again is Chuck Norris, actor, martial arts expert and author of the best-selling — I think he's making fun of me. Come on, Norris. Come on. I'll take you on.

NORRIS: No, this is calming me down. I'm calmer now. This is calming me down. No. This is calming me down.

BECK: Don't screw with me, Norris. Don't do it.

NORRIS: I'm not screwing with you, Glenn. Truthfully, this is what I do eat, honest to God, I do. I really do.

BECK: You know what it is? This is like nature's Prozac. Well, not nature's Prozac, but pretty close to it. It's got sugar in it. I think sugar is made by God. I'm not sure.

NORRIS: But seriously, Glenn, we do need a fair tax in our country.

BECK: Tell me about it.

NORRIS: We need a fair tax to get the three million manufacturing jobs that are outsourced to other countries to bring them back into our economy, the $17 trillion that are being hidden in offshore accounts by the super-rich. They can bring that all back into our economy, so the Fair Tax is (UNINTELLIGIBLE) should get involved in.

BECK: Chuck, you never — I'd love to. Thank you for inviting me. Tell me this, they're never going to do it, because then they lose their — look, once you get into office, all you care about is getting re-elected. That's all you care about. And to get re-elected, you need to do special favors for everybody, so you lose your ability to do special favors.

NORRIS: Yes, but Glenn, that's what you're saying. The people have got to make this happen. Government is never going to do it. The thing is that we, the people, have got to be the ones that make these changes in our country.

BECK: Let me ask you this honest question — do you think the people of the United States are courageous? I've got a monologue on this on tomorrow night's television show.

Do you think we're courageous enough and responsible enough to take control of our own lives, and our own country now?

NORRIS: Well, the thing is why is your show such a high-rated show, Glenn? Because people are concerned about what's going on in our country. They're listening to you. You're our crusader.

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: That shows just how low our standards are.

NORRIS: No, I'm being serious here. I'm being serious, Glenn. You are — you are the crusader that we're all looking for to help make these positive changes in our society. And someone has to lead the pack, and I believe you're the one who's leading the pack. And I'm serious about this.

BECK: Well, I appreciate that. But I will tell you this, I just talked to my radio audience today about this, that everybody has to find their own voice because we are entering times where you have to know as an individual what you believe in.

And you've got to unite with your own family and neighbors and everything else. You know we're doing a special on March 13...

NORRIS: Yes, I do know.

BECK: On the values and the principles. That's what — you just need to bring your neighbors together. You need to bring your friends together and you need to start meeting and talking about the news and how to solve the problems that we're facing and what do we do to be able to restore our country.

NORRIS: Well, the thing is that we have to lead these people toward that, Glenn. The thing is, you know, we had such poor leadership for so long in our country, that we've got to get back to strong leadership that believes in the same principles we do, Glenn.

And we don't have that yet, Glenn. That's why, you know, I have a joke, Glenn. You know, these Chuck Norris facts that are circulating throughout the world?

BECK: I don't know that.

NORRIS: One of the Chuck — have you ever heard of them?

BECK: No.

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: Yes, I have! I hear your tears cure cancer. Too bad you don't cry.

NORRIS: No, no, no, listen. America is not a democracy. It is a Chuck-tatorship. If that was true — if that was true, I would go to Washington. I'd line up every member of Congress, and I'd have Ron Paul, who's probably one of the more honest men in Washington — I'd say, "Ron, point out the honest politicians and dishonest politicians."

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: I don't know.

NORRIS: As we're walking down the line, he would say, "He's honest, he's honest, he's dishonest." I would walk up to him and say "You're fired." And if he didn't move immediately, I would choke him unconscious and drag him over to the pile.

(LAUGHTER)

BECK: OK. OK. All right. Chuck Norris. Thanks a lot. We will talk to you again, my friend.


Another New Teaser of Our Film Just Released


Me as Jedi Jarjar Binks in Star Wars Made Me This Way!!

Comparing Lincoln and Obama

My brother sent me this as a lighthearted laugh, but I just HAD to over examine it hehe.

First here's what he sent me:

Lincoln and Obama are very much alike:

1. Lincoln placed his hand on the Bible for his inauguration. Obama used the same Bible.

2. Lincoln came from Illinois. Obama comes from Illinois.

3. Lincoln served in the Illinois Legislature. Obama served in the Illinois Legislature.

4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President.

5. Lincoln rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration. Obama rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration.

6. Lincoln was a skinny lawyer. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

7. Lincoln was a Republican. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

8. Lincoln was highly respected. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

9. Lincoln was born in the United States. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

10. Lincoln was called Honest Abe. Obama is a skinny lawyer.


BUT NOT Quite!
Consider this:

1. Obama intentionally flubbed his inaugural oath and retook it in private where he could exclude God. When he actually made his oath he didn't pledge on the Bible at all.
See My:
Why No Bible Obama? -- 1.20.26
We can discuss the issues raised here on my Blogs: Click here!

2. Lincoln came from Illinois BUT Obama comes from Kenya via Indonesia. He's not even an American.

3. Lincoln was elected to and served in the Illinois Legislature by honest means. Obama stole his Illinois Legislature seat by having all of his opponents, including Alice Palmer (the incumbent who encouraged him to go into politics) disqualified for minor infractions. The people of the state had no other options!

Blog EntryIs Hillary Doing Unto Obama What Obama Did To Alice Palmer?
I Hate to Say I Told You So But....



4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President so-called (he is not qualified under the Constitution so he is not president).

5. I'd replace the train one with: Lincoln oversaw the first Civil War, Obama is starting the Second one.


6. Lincoln was a skinny lawyer. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

7. Lincoln was a Republican. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

8. Lincoln was highly respected. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

9. Lincoln was born in the United States. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

10. Lincoln was called Honest Abe. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

Lucifer Will Now Take Our Kids! U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child

Its Baaaaaacckkk....

The Globalists have been trying to steal our children with the the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child for years. It appears they will now get them!

UNLESS WE THE PEOPLE STOP THIS!

We knew it was coming but did nothing. Consider this:

"Fundamental Bible-believing people do not have the right to indoctrinate their children in their religious beliefs because we, the state, are preparing them for the year 2000, when America will be part of a one-world global society and their children will not fit in." --Nebraska State Senator Peter Hoagland, speaking on radio in 1983.

With this legislation:

* It will be illegal for parents to raise their children according to their religious beliefs.
* It will be illegal for parents to tell their kids that other religions are false and to be rejected.
* Acceptable methods of discipline will be determined by the world court. Other methods will be illegal.
* Parent will be forbidden to keep their children from having sex or from getting abortions.

Basically ALL parental actions will be placed under UN control!

Here's the story:

Sen. Barbara Boxer

Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., is urging a hurry-up timetable for adoption of a United Nations treaty she says provides for "basic human rights" for children but opponents argue would destroy parental rights to raise their children as they choose.

"Children deserve basic human rights ... and the convention protects children's rights by setting some standards here so that the most vulnerable people of society will be protected," Boxer said, according to Fox News.

Boxer wants quick action on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, a proposal on which for 20 years Congress has refused to act because of concerns and questions.

The instrument was signed by President Clinton in 1995, but opposition and critics' concerns that it would override centuries of practice, policy and law regarding children have left it unadopted.

The document would create "the right of the child to freedom of thought, conscience and religion," which critics say would usurp the role of parents in directing their children's religious training.

But Boxer said during a hearing in the Senate recently she feels a "humiliation" that the U.S. has not adopted the plan.

WND reported just a week ago one of the nation's top experts on children's rights, Michael Farris, president of ParentalRights.org and chancellor of Patrick Henry College, said the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child would mean every decision a parent makes can be reviewed by the government to determine whether it is in the child's best interest.

"The left wants to make the Obama-Clinton era permanent. Treaties are a way to make it as permanent as stuff gets. It is very difficult to extract yourself from a treaty once you begin it. If they can put all of their left-wing socialist policies into treaty form, we're stuck with it even if they lose the next election," he warned.

The 1990s-era document was ratified quickly by 193 nations worldwide but not the U.S. or Somalia. In Somalia, there was then no recognized government to formally recognize the measure, and in the U.S. there's been opposition to its power. Countries that ratify the treaty are bound to it by international law.

The international treaty creates specific civil, social, cultural and even economic rights for every child and states that "the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration." While the treaty states parents or legal guardians "have primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of the child," Farris said government will ultimately determine whether parents' decisions are in their children's best interest.

According to the Parental Rights website, the CRC dictates the following:

  • Parents would no longer be able to administer reasonable spankings to their children.
  • A murderer aged 17 years, 11 months and 29 days at the time of his crime could no longer be sentenced to life in prison.
  • Children would have the ability to choose their own religion while parents would only have the authority to give their children advice about religion.
  • The best interest of the child principle would give the government the ability to override every decision made by every parent if a government worker disagreed with the parent's decision.
  • A child's "right to be heard" would allow him (or her) to seek governmental review of every parental decision with which the child disagreed.
  • According to existing interpretation, it would be illegal for a nation to spend more on national defense than it does on children's welfare.
  • Children would acquire a legally enforceable right to leisure.
  • Teaching children about Christianity in schools has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
  • Allowing parents to opt their children out of sex education has been held to be out of compliance with the CRC.
  • Children would have the right to reproductive health information and services, including abortions, without parental knowledge or consent.

The government would decide what is in the best interest of a children in every case, and the CRC would be considered superior to state laws, Farris said. Parents could be treated like criminals for making every-day decisions about their children's lives.

"If you think your child shouldn't go to the prom because their grades were low, the U.N. Convention gives that power to the government to review your decision and decide if it thinks that's what's best for your child," he said. "If you think that your children are too young to have a Facebook account, which interferes with the right of communication, the U.N. gets to determine whether or not your decision is in the best interest of the child."

At a Walden University presidential debate last October, Obama indicated he may take action.

"It's embarrassing to find ourselves in the company of Somalia, a lawless land," Obama said. "I will review this and other treaties to ensure the United States resumes its global leadership in human rights."

Fox News reported the standing U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, an 18-member panel in Geneva, would review the rights of children in all disputes.

Another Defeat for Obama: Another Victory For We the People and Israel!

As I posted before HERE, Caliph Obama joined with other hard core Antisemites in the ‘Durban II’ conference BUT We the People prevailed again and Obama has again backed down and dropped out!

Here's the story:

U.S. pulling out of ‘Durban II’ conference

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The Obama administration has decided to boycott the so-called Durban II conference out of concerns for anti-Semitism.

Multiple sources on a conference call with the White House on Friday told JTA that the Obama administration had opted not to attend any further preparatory meetings ahead of the planned U.N. conference against racism in Geneva in April.

The conference reprises the 2001 conference in Durban, South Africa that devolved into an anti-Jewish free-for-all. Canada and Israel have opted not to attend the conference, and some U.S. Jewish groups had been pressing the United States to do the same.

Preparations for a draft document so far have seen Iran leading a coterie of nations blocking inclusion of anything that might guarantee Jewish protections – including mention of the Holocaust – while inserting draconian language guarding Islam against "insult."

The State Department sent a delegation, including a senior staffer from the American Jewish Committee, to this month's preparatory talks. The delegation's conclusions were that the anti-Israel and anti-Western tendencies were too deeply entrenched to excise.

Now that the United States is withdrawing from the conference, European nations are expected to follow.

Speaking for the White House on Friday's call were Samantha Power and James Warlick, who handle international organizations for, respectively, the national security council and the State Department; and Jennifer Simon, an adviser to Susan Rice, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations.

U.S. Marines would be willing to fire upon American citizens


SOURCE
According to this study: "About one in four U.S. Marines would be willing to fire upon American citizens in a government gun confiscation program, according to the results of a survey undertaken nearly a year ago at a Marine Corps base in southern California. In addition, more that four out of five of the Marines surveyed indicated they would be willing to "participate in missions under a U.S. National Emergency Police Force."

Survivalist have for years stressed concerns of being attacked by bands of looters, street gangs, outlaw bikers and other such threats; when in reality the greatest threat comes from governmental tyranny and agressive use of "our" military against us. Remember Waco Texas and Ruby Ridge Idaho?

The stage has been set by the Bush administration, and will be used by Obammy to rein full military controll over U.S. citizens. My friends things are about to get interesting and I am afraid we are in for a bumpy ride, keep your head down and your powder dry...


If you have'nt ordered my Survival Library now is the time. I don't know how much longer it will be before this information is banned from public view? Knowledge is power and combat skills may prove invaluable in the near future...

So, a quarter of the U.S. soldiers are now willing to gun down Americans if so ordered (I've seen polls saying its as high as 55% but don't see them right now). So "Corporal Himmler" orders these soldiers to fire. They do. Then he orders the other soldiers to shoot. Will they? Many will! So he shoots a couple of Marines who refuse. What happens? MOST will fire on us. The other will escape to join the resistance, be jailed or be gunned down.

That's what Hitler did and that's what Obama will do.

Be you military or civilian

Decide while you can still can without undue duress!

Time is running out!

IF, GOD FORBID, this revolution must become a shooting struggle for independence SOME soldiers will be true to their oath to "uphold the Constitution but MOST probably wont.

What does our military pledge to?

(emphasis and link mine)

"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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

A Damnable Doctrine That Will Lead Millions To Accept the Antichrist

Welcome to Thus Says the Prophets!

A Most Damnable Doctrine!

The Doctrine That Will Lead Millions of Christians to Accept the Antichrist

By John of AllFaith © 02.26.09

First, imagine this scenario:

The U.S. and world economy fails as hyperinflation runs rampant.

Laws outlawing barter are passed to "protect the consumers."

The United States has become a poverty stricken, disease infested Third World Country. New York and most major cities are comparable to Calcutta (not picking on this impoverished city).

Following is a series of three very possible (if not probable) "what if" scenario videos. Accepting the basic scenarios Glen Beck and his guests discuss, consider the following and then continue to a scenario they do not address:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Beginning back in the 1970's Christians began abandoning the Authorized and historically honored King James Version of the Bible and exchanged it for the Global Elite-created counterfeit known as the New International Version or NIV. Based largely on this, the Good News for Modern Man, the Living Bible, the New King James, the New World Translation (of Jehovah's Witnesses) and similar pseudo-bibles based on wholly inferior source materials, the Christian world has largely adopted this Damnable Doctrine. In part with the adoption of the heretical New International Version (NIV) Christianity became the Laodecian Church (the Church of the End Times foretold in Revelation 3:14-19).

A LOT of Christians from different sects now embrace versions of this damnable doctrine! Here's a few examples:

    "ANTICHRIST AS A PAPAL SYSTEM—NOT A PERSON PER SE" Dave Hunt: Source

    "It will be a system of government which we call "autocratic democracy" which means "absolute government of the people." Good News Ministry and Outreach: Source

    Islam as the government of the Antichrist" The Prophetic Years: Source

False doctrines concerning the Antichrist abound. And with good cause!

People are basically good. They are driven to do evil by their environments.

Most people who voted for the Clintons sincerely believed they made the best decision they could.

Most people who voted for Bush Jr. sincerely believed they made the best decision they could.

Most people who voted for Obama were duped and sincerely believe they made the best decision they could. Many of these people are already beginning to wake up and they are angry!

In the same way for the coming Rex Mundi to be accepted he will use such lies and false doctrines! He will appear as an angel of light... at first.

    II Thess 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

Exactly what this lie is or will be is not clear from the text. It could be a general statement of his many lies or it may refer to one in particular. It could reference the claim that the Rex Mundi is God incarnate, that he is the second coming of Jesus, that he means well for the people, that he is Moshiach of Israel... He will tell a great many lies, as does his father

    John 8:44 When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

BUT regardless, THIS damnable Doctrine, the lie that the Antichrist will be a System rather than an individual ruler, will prove to be VERY effective later on!

As Charles Pierre Baudelaire (April 9, 1821 August 31, 1867) said concerning Secular Humanism: "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist."

Lucifer has now successfully convinced much of the Church and the world that neither he nor his chief servant the Rex Mundi exists!

Does it really matter if the Antichrist is a man or a system?

Consider this scenario. A few months or possibly years into the future:

The New World Order has devastated the global economy. People are dying in record numbers from contaminated foods, mysterious diseases, forced abortions, wars, terrorism, crime, random violence, toxins, poisons being released into the atmosphere via Chemtrails etc. etc. The people are finally waking up and identifying the culprit: The New World Order! They are desperate and they turn to religion (as people tend to do in dire times).

Christian ministers from several denominations are preaching that the New World Order -- which certainly is anti-Christ -- is the biblically foretold Antichrist! They warn their followers to resist the rising tide of global tyranny... but at this point what can they do?

Now from Western Europe a man of culture, wealth and wisdom arises. He is physically attractive and very charismatic. He seems to be amazingly intelligent and compassionate. As he moves quickly onto the world stage he shows himself to be a true humanitarian. Expertly using diplomatic political means he brings peace to Europe, he causes treaties to be signed with the Muslim Ummah, Europa, Australia, China, Russia, the American fiefdoms (or whatever remains of the devastated North American Union), he stops the die-off in Africa and releases amazing technological advances that allow for greater and healthier food production and water purification. He introduces a new automobile that runs on renewable non-polluting energy and through him it becomes possible to colonize other planets, thus solving the overpopulation problems without killing 90% of the human race as the New World Order had planned.

Then he signs a meaningful peace treaty with Israel and establishes peace throughout the Middle East.

But most importantly: he outlaws the New World Order!

The new global savior exposes their nefarious plans for world domination and establishes global peace and security (I Thess. 5:3)! He is universally praised and the world quickly and joyously adopts his new global economic and military solutions.

Living in peace thanks to the Leader, the Jews begin construction of the new Zion Temple. Poverty becomes a thing of the past and Islam is allowed to stand proud and strong without being forced to embrace Secular Humanism. Under the guidance of the Leader Sharia Law is redefined and Islam truly becomes the Religion of Peace. Even the Americans begin crawling out of their bunkers and begin rebuilding their civilization, although not to any substantial degree, that will take time but reconstruction begins. The few survivors in the Americas devote themselves to non-intervention, pacifism and service to the Global Union. The future looks bright indeed! About the only disturbances are the religious fanatics opposing the Great Leader. They are dealt with harshly but none can blame the Global Union for that! Religion is, after all, the opiate of the masses!

Jews around the world and even the state government of Israel itself (there are no more independent nations now) begin proclaiming that this Jewish man, this Rex Mundi, is their long awaited Moshiach. In defense of this they point out that the Rambam and others say that only the Moshiach will bring global peace and rebuilt the Holy Jerusalem Temple.

For the Christian world the fact that the Great Leader has defeated the Antichrist (the New World Order) and rebuilt the Temple at Zion will confirm his identity. They will admit their error in believing that he would descend from heaven on a white horse, that, all will now agree, was clearly metaphor. They will shun those who deny the Great Leader, who call him Antichrist! How ignorant these zealots will then appear (do even now in the eyes of most people)! They deserve what they get! This Peace Bringer is the true Moshiach! All hail! The sitting Pope will issue an ex cathedra Papal Bull and submit "the Throne of Peter" to the Catholic Messiah as the Church is reunified into the Universal Church (which is literally the meaning of "catholic") under the Pope (the Pope is NOT the False Prophet until this point).

This is the heresy that may well damn the Christian Church! The belief that the Antichrist is the New World Order rather than the man who will lead it.

Is the Antichrist a System?

NO!

But believing it is will lead Christians around the word to accept the one who will SEEM to destroy it.

Lies upon lies!

This is the Damnable Doctrine.

Be not deceived!

There are innumerable antichrists as I discuss elsewhere, those who are anti-God's anointing, but they are all but dim reflections of THE ANTICHRIST who will soon come and take the global New World Order (Novus Ordo Seclorum) Throne:

A Few Names of the Coming World Ruler:

    Antichrist: I John 2:18

    Son of Perdition: II Thess 2:3

    The Wicked One: II Thess 2:8

    Little Horn: Dan 7:8, Dan 8:9

    The Beast: Rev 13

    The Man of Sin: II Thess 2:3

    Rex Mundi: A name used by the Illuminati Elite and others.

    Dijal: Islamic name for the coming global despot

The Antichrist is NOT a System, a form of Government, the Roman Papacy, Sunday worship (this one still makes me scratch my head), a plague or any such thing. The prophets are abundantly clear on this point!

HE is a Man!

Rev. 13: Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The Rex Mundi or Global Ruler (Antichrist) will be an individual man born of the San Grael (holy bloodline) of the Merovingians.

HE will rule the globe through the New World World Order that the Merovingians have been preparing for him since ancient times.

His public agenda is spelled out for the world to see on the Georgia Guidestones:

MAINTAIN HUMANITY UNDER 500,000,000
    IN PERPETUAL BALANCE WITH NATURE

GUIDE REPRODUCTION WISELY —

    IMPROVING FITNESS AND DIVERSITY

UNITE HUMANITY WITH A LIVING

    NEW LANGUAGE

    AND ALL THINGS
      WITH TEMPERED REASON

PROTECT PEOPLE AND NATIONS

    WITH FAIR LAWS AND JUST COURTS

LET ALL NATIONS RULE INTERNALLY

    RESOLVING EXTERNAL DISPUTES

AVOID PETTY LAWS AND USELESS

    OFFICIALS

PRIZE TRUTH — BEAUTY — LOVE —

    SEEKING HARMONY WITH THE
      INFINITE

BE NOT A CANCER ON THE EARTH —

    LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE
      LEAVE ROOM FOR NATURE

We can discuss this on my blog if you'd like. For more on this Go Here.

HIS policy will be to usher in a thousand years of Luciferian rule where an Elite class of Mer overlords live in a strictly controlled paradise while subhuman serfs serve their every desire.

He will play good-cop bad-cop and convince the masses that he is their only hope, even as he oversees the systematic execution of at least 80-90% of the population of the earth. Both the biblical prophets and the Elite gives these figures.

    "...there was very strong agreement that religious institutions have to take primary responsibility for the population explosion. We must speak far more clearly about sexuality, about contraception, about abortion, about the values that control the population, because the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90 percent and there aren't enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage." Sam Keen, closing plenary session.

AND the Damnable Doctrine that the Antichrist will not be an individual person will lead millions of devout and faithful people -- including the vast majority of the world's Christians -- to embrace the Beast as God Incarnate:

    II Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
    2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
    3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
    4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
    5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

"Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review,
I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President,
but rather, a usurper to the Office -- an impostor,"
-- 1st Lt. Scott R. Easterling

Officer Calls Obama 'Usurper' President
February 25, 2009
Military.com|by Bryant Jordan

Reproduced in harmony with accepted Fair Use Policies

Using words such as "imposter" and "usurper," an active-duty Army officer in Iraq has joined a California lawyer's lawsuit intended to force President Barack Obama to prove he is a legal U.S. citizen, and therefore able to legally serve as the commander in chief.

"Until Mr. Obama releases a 'vault copy' of his original birth certificate for public review, I will consider him neither my Commander in Chief nor my President, but rather, a usurper to the Office -- an impostor," 1st Lt. Scott R. Easterling states in his letter published at Defendourfreedoms.com.

An Army spokesman told Military.com today that officials are aware of Easterling's letter.

Poll: Should a Soldier serve if he doesn’t think the president is legitimate?

"We are taking a look at that ourselves right now," Lt. Col. Christopher Garver said. "We are always trying to balance our ... military requirements under the Uniform Code of Military Justice versus critical freedoms that all Americans enjoy."

California dentist turned attorney Orly Taitz, who has brought the lawsuit, told Military.com Tuesday that it is her "understanding that there will not be a serious consequence to his career [for his statements], but I don't know for sure."

"I told him 'you're doing something very brave for this country, and that you can call me any time, 24/7 [for advice],' " she said. "If you're investigated by [the judge advocate general] and if there are any hearings ... and if an officer is defending you, I will provide documents totally proving it's illegitimate for [Obama] to be president."

The story was first reported in the right-leaning World Net Daily news site Feb. 24.

Taitz said she is willing to go to Iraq for Easterling's defense. Her Web site includes names and photos of congressmen and retired service members who she says are supportive of the lawsuit intended to force Obama to present documents showing he is an American citizen.

While Obama has presented a legal Hawaiian birth certificate, Taitz and others claim the state historically has permitted American parents of children born in other countries to apply for such documents. Easterling says he wants to see a "vault copy," which is not explained in his letter but is taken to mean the original document.

In his letter, Easterling said he was a KBR contractor in Iraq in 2005 and 2006, then joined the Army when it raised the maximum enlistment age to 40. He said he attended Officer Candidate School and was commissioned a second lieutenant in August 2007.

After an assignment to Fort Knox, Ky., he was deployed to Balad. He was promoted to first lieutenant on Feb. 2.

He said in his letter that it pains him to join the lawsuit against Obama, "but as an Officer, my sworn oath to support and defend our Constitution requires this action."

"I implore all Service-members and citizens to contact their Senators and Representatives and demand that they require Mr. Obama prove his eligibility. Our Constitution and our great nation must not be allowed to be disgraced."

Attorney Mathew B. Tully of the Washington, D.C.-based firm Tully Rinckey PLLC, cautioned "that nobody's actually heard directly from this ... lieutenant. We're getting this from a third party with an axe to grind."

It has happened in the past, he said, that stories emerging from the combat theater turn out to be wholly or partially false.

If true, however, Easterling, as an Army officer, "is subject to ... [provisions] against using contemptuous language toward the president." There were such incidents in the 1990s, he said, when service members were disciplined for comments made against President Clinton. In one case brought under the provisions of Article 88 of the UCMJ a major general was forced to retire for comments he made, Tully said.

Easterling also could be charged with conduct unbecoming an officer, he said.

If an officer actually believes there has been some misconduct by the president, Tully said, there are ways he could have responded.

Under Article 138, he said, any person can bring an allegation of misconduct by a commander through the chain of command, "though I don't think [it] has ever been used to allege misconduct by the president."

He may also have tried reporting his allegations under the whistleblower protection act, Tully said. But the Defense Department directive on that spells out the inspector general and the Congress as the places to take allegations, he added.

"People in the military ... have rights protecting them for reporting [alleged] misconduct, but there are strict procedures," Tully explained. "And joining a civil lawsuit and calling the president of the United States an imposter is not one of those avenues."

Tully said there already is extensive case law involving these allegations about Obama's birth and citizenship -- at least 10, he said -- that have been dismissed.

"And on TV last night I saw the chief of staff of the Army salute President Obama, so there are a lot of people who believe he is the president," Tully said.
