This is unacceptable. Why isn't this story blasted all over TV and radio stations? Because the American people are more interested in Britteny Spears and the Hollywood pill popping clan. Slime sells. Our numb and brain-dead fellow Americans need a serious reality check.
The brave BP agents are risking their lives daily to protect our asses. Turn of the pill poppers.

Obama mentor identified as communist
Frank Marshall Davis 'discussed American imperialism, colonialism, exploitation'
WorldNetDaily
The mysterious "Frank" cited as a friend and adviser by Democratic president contender Barack Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii has been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA.
The identification comes from Cliff Kincaid in his column, "Obama's Communist Mentor," which was made available on the Accuracy in Media website.
"Let's challenge the liberal media to report on this," he wrote in his column. "Will they have the honesty and integrity to do so?"
Kincaid, who earlier reported on Obama's pending plan to ship $845 billion overseas to battle "global poverty" as evidence of his socialist leanings, said the newly revealed connection is even more worrisome.
"Obama's communist connection adds to mounting public concern about a candidate who has come out of virtually nowhere, with a brief U.S. Senate legislative record, to become the Democratic Party frontrunner for the U.S. presidency," he wrote.
In Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father," he repeatedly refers to his friend and adviser as "Frank."
"The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several Communist front organizations," Kincaid said.
Kincaid noted Obama has admitted attending "social conferences" and seeing Marxist literature. "But he ridicules the charge of being a 'hard-core academic Marxist,' which was made by his colorful and outspoken 2004 U.S. Senate opponent, Republican Alan Keyes."
He described the link as "ominous." CONTINUED

The Real Barack Obama
By Ronald Kessler
Michelle Obama’s comment that, for the first time in her adult life, she feels proud of America helps crystallize who Barack Obama is.
To be sure, the wife of a candidate is perfectly free to have views that are distinct from her husband’s. But on a matter that is so fundamental to one’s being as love of country, it is difficult to imagine that Michelle Obama would publicly twice make such a statement suggesting disdain for America unless she felt it comported with her husband’s views.
Equally important, her statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in his church magazine Trumpet. “White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
Wright has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in December, honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement, saying he “truly epitomize[s] greatness.”
Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals.
Those who think two of the closest people to Obama could publicly make anti-America statements unless Obama himself felt that way, are fooling themselves. To date, Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than a great orator, rendering the statements of those around him even more important in illuminating his true character and agenda. During his Senate career, he skipped 17 percent of the votes and sponsored only one bill that became law. That bill was to promote “relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.” READ MORE

I Want My Matricular Consular
BY James E. Horn
Mexican consulates are busily issuing Matricular Consular cards to people who come to them claiming to be Mexicans. The vast majority of those claiming their Matricular Consular cards are in the United States without Mexican passports or visas. They crossed the border illegally and are therefore criminals.
Mexican officials deny that these criminal aliens have broken the laws. Mexican officials continually claim that California, Nevada, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico are Mexican territory seized from Mexico 160 years ago. So be it. I live in one of those five states along with about seventy-five million others who are truly American citizens, as well as citizens of those five states.
Now, taking into consideration the claims of Mexican officials that these five states are Mexican, that would make us seventy-five million eligible for Matricular Consular cards.
Accordingly, we should all go to the Mexican consulates nearest us immediately and claim, nay – demand our Matricular Consular cards immediately. Walk right up thee in large groups and demand our rights, our Matricular Consular cards, and refuse to step outside of the line until our demands are met. Then we can demand Mexican passports, start buying beachfront property in Mexico as Mexican citizens, vote in Mexican elections and have a real impact on Mexico.

Why A Muslim Should Never Be Allowed Into Politics In America.
2/07/2008 Loyalist Staff Writer
’Obama! Obama!’, the crowds cheer. They are a growing mass of Americans who are following their new leader. And if their leader gets elected, they believe he will bring change to the country. But they have no idea how right they are.
Obama was raised a Muslim, a fact that many Americans know, but don’t understand the relevance of. What’s more extraordinary, Obama has said on numerous occasions that he is proud of his Islamic heritage, and although he has stated that he is a practicing Christian, he believes that his ’background’ will help him relate to the Islamic world in a constructive way.
We must not let our guards down to his charms. We must recognize the unbelievable inherent threat of electing a once-practicing Muslim to the highest office in our country. And we must also understand that he may very well be the biggest wolf in sheep’s clothing that our country has ever endured.
Many Americans will argue, that even though he may be a Muslim, he is not a terrorist or an extremist. But the greatest threat to our country comes not from Islamic terrorists or ’extremists’, but from ordinary, everyday Muslims and Muslim supporters.
For terrorists and ’extremists’, jihad means acts of terrorism, war and violence. Yet there is a far greater war being fought; an everyday jihad, fought by everyday ’moderate’ Muslims, where the daily goal is simply to increase the power, authority and dominance of Islam. Whether it is writing a letter, instigating defamation litigation, or protesting schools that include ’The three little pigs’ in their curriculum, all jihad is the empowerment of Islam at the expense of America and her non-Muslim citizens.
There can be no shared ground with Islam. Muslims, by their very nature, are committed to transforming every area they live and work in into an Islam-dominated world. And freedom for Islam, is doom for anything and anyone else.

CAIR bites it
The UAC brings us great news:
CAIR Loses Tax Status?
A major victory in the fight against Jihad has apparently occurred. Somewhere in the dead of night, without any known announcement from the organization, the highly controversial Washington DC based group CAIR, the Council on American Islamic Relations has apparently lost the tax status which enabled it to conduct lobbying activities. The organization was registered for many years under the IRS tax code 501c(4) which allowed the organization to conduct lobbying activities, campaign funding, legislation and candidate backing, and many other government and litigation related activities. A 501c(4) tax status is very difficult to maintain, requiring quarterly public filings, and is very regulated under strict lobbying laws, yet is the most powerful tax status for organizations wishing to influence government. CAIR, who was under this status, had numerous members of their leadership indicted on terrorism related charges in the past, and had received large amounts of funding from questionable foreign sources. Many critics of the group often wondered how CAIR was able to hold on to such a highly critiqued tax status such as 501c(4). In contrast there is another tax status which is much weaker, and one that is very easy for most anyone to receive, and that status is 501c(3), a status which U.S. tax laws prohibit such organizations from engaging in large amounts of lobbying and government influence activities, it is a status for educational groups and churches, which is greatly restricted in the ability to influence any kind of legislation. CAIR has recently downgraded the description of their organization on their website to 501c(3). While calls to their office could not confirm the reasons, it appears that CAIR may have lost the status as of the first of this year.
Note, the current organization description on CAIR's website reads:
"CAIR is a not-for-profit organization recognized as tax-exempt under U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3)."
While internet archives of the site as of June 2007 read as follows:
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a nonprofit 501(c)(4), grassroots civil rights and advocacy group."
Chalk one up for the good guys.

Los Angeles: 12 arrested in counter-terror and drug-trafficking investigation
Jihad Watch
Including, evidently, at least one supporter of Hizballah.
There is, of course, a close link between jihad finance and drug trafficking. The Taliban made its living off drugs when it was in power, and probably still does. Several years ago, Abdul Rashid, a Taliban anti-drug official, explained that his job was to limit hashish use by Muslims, but said: "Opium is permissible because it is consumed by kafirs in the West and not by Muslims or Afghans."

"12 arrested in counter-terrorism and drug-trafficking investigation," by Greg Krikorian for the Los Angeles Times (thanks to Sr. Soph):
A dozen people were arrested Tuesday on charges of narcotics trafficking, money laundering and selling counterfeit goods after a two-year counter-terrorism and drug investigation centered in Los Angeles' downtown garment district.
The focus of the federal investigation was Ali Khalil Elreda, 32, who was detained at Los Angeles International Airport last year, accused of trying to smuggle $120,000 in money orders and cashier's checks, hidden in a child's toy, to Lebanon, according to an indictment and an affidavit filed in the case.
In 2005, a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department official showed a Senate committee a picture of a tattooed shop owner who had been arrested the year before on charges of selling counterfeit high-fashion merchandise. The tattoo was a symbol of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed guerrillas operating in Lebanon.
In his testimony, Lt. John Stedman, a top supervisor in the department's emergency operations bureau, did not identify the shop owner. Stedman was not involved in the most recent investigation.
But two law enforcement sources said Tuesday that the merchant was Elreda.
Elreda and Hussein Saleh Saleh, 37, both of Bell, were charged in one of two indictments returned in the case with conspiring to smuggle cash out of the United States.
Five years ago, in an interview with The Times, Asa Hutchinson, then the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said authorities were examining dozens of domestic drug cases with potential links to Islamic terrorists, including a methamphetamine ring allegedly tied to Hezbollah.
During the recent Los Angeles investigation, law enforcement authorities allegedly seized 30 kilograms of cocaine and counterfeit clothing worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Others arrested Tuesday included Elreda's brother, Mohamad, 25, of Bell; his sister, Susanne, 34, of Smyrna, Ga.; Robert Bell, 36, of Corona; Dalisa Johnson, 37, of Corona; Moussa Matar, 48, of Cudahy; Matar's sons, Mohamad and Ali, both 28, of Cudahy; Juan Gonzalez, 26, of Lynwood; Frankie Higuera, 24, of Downey; and Crystal Hill, 25, of Hawthorne.
FBI warns of possible shopping mall attacks
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An FBI report warned al Qaeda may be planning to strike shopping malls in Chicago and Los Angeles during the Christmas season, but a bureau official said on Thursday there was no information it was a credible threat.
ABC News first disclosed portions of the report that was based on intelligence received by the FBI in late September. The report said al Qaeda hoped to disrupt the U.S. economy and had been planning the attack for the past two years.

The United States, having been invaded by Mexico and Central America, is now experiencing the genesis of an insurgency. Led by communist and socialist groups, illegal aliens and their offspring are turning out immigration rallies to spew hate and anti-Americanism in our very own streets.

Covering Up the Nazi Past of "Gun Control" (JPFO)
As we have documented in our book _"Gun Control": Gateway to Tyranny_ ( www.jpfo.org/gateway.htm ), the 1968 Gun Control Act (GCA) was copied from the 1938 Nazi Weapons Law. Reading the two laws side-by-side, the evidence is insurmountable. And who chose to incorporate Nazi law into American law? Connecticut Senator Thomas Dodd, who
participated in the Nuremberg trials and was intimately familiar with the Nazi regime.
The GCA is drenched in the blood of those who have been murdered by the BATFE with the blessing of the US Congress.

Machiavellian Plot Emerges Among Limbaugh Attackers
By Chris Adamo, New Media Journal.US
Conservative Americans who witnessed the deliberate misinterpretation and unwarranted liberal hysterics over Rush Limbaugh’s “phony soldiers” commentary, will be tempted to brand the incident an isolated, albeit ridiculously overblown, effort to discredit the powerhouse of conservatism in America. Yet while this assessment is not entirely inaccurate, it reveals only the tip of a malevolent “iceberg.”
To many people’s amazement, the sorry episode drags on. Yet its protracted nature reveals the intentions of those who seek to execute a much darker and grander scheme.
It is true that, as a result of their exaggerated complaints and indignant screed, this continued droning of key liberal players and the Democrat Party faithful makes them appear petty, hypocritical, and buffoonish for their participation in this squabble. Moreover, Limbaugh is having his usual good time successfully portraying them this way. Yet, that is a price they are willing to pay, and moreover believe they are compelled to pay, being that their future political successes are so contingent on neutralizing him and his kind. CONTINUED

Another U.N. Power Grab
What would Reagan do? On the Law of the Sea Treaty, we know the answer.
BY WILLIAM P. CLARK AND EDWIN MEESE
It is an impressive testament to the abiding affection and political influence of former President Ronald Reagan that the fate of a controversial treaty now before the U.S. Senate may ultimately turn on a single question: What would Reagan do?
As we had the privilege of working closely with President Reagan in connection with the foreign policy, national security and domestic implications of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (better known as the Law of the Sea Treaty or LOST), there is no question about how our 40th president felt about this accord. He so strongly opposed it that he formally refused to sign the treaty. He even sent Donald Rumsfeld as a personal emissary to our key allies around the world to explain his opposition and encourage them to follow suit. All of them did so at the time.
Proponents of LOST, however, have lately taken--on these pages and elsewhere--to portray President Reagan's concerns as relatively circumscribed. They contend that those objections were subsequently and satisfactorily addressed in a multilateral accord known as the Agreement of 1994. To the extent that such assertions may induce senators who would otherwise oppose the Law of the Sea Treaty to vote for it, perhaps within a matter of weeks and after only the most cursory of reviews, we feel compelled to set the record straight.

Hamas: Coming to a School Board Near You?
By Patrick Poole
Exactly how did a known Hamas operative obtain an interview with and almost get appointed to the Columbus, Ohio Public School Board, which oversees one of the largest school districts in the country? And what does this incident tell us about the domestic terror threat and the process of radicalization happening right now in the US?
Those were the questions raised during my research for an article I recently wrote titled “Hamas in the House.” It revealed that a woman named Anisa Abd El Fattah was scheduled to speak at an “interfaith” event to be held in the atrium of the Ohio State Capitol later this month. Not only was Fattah past president of the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), an organization founded by Specially Designated Global Terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook and described by another convicted terror leader as “the political command for Hamas in the United States,” but she also co-authored two books with current Hamas spokesman Ahmed Yousef. Yousef fled the US in 2005 to avoid prosecution and immediately reappeared as one of the top leaders of Hamas. He has been described by one Middle Eastern newspaper as “The Smiling Face of Hamas.” CONTINUED

Bush U.N. ambassador says he's 'caving' on world court
Bolton sees blocking of death sentence for Mexican rapist-murderer 'ridiculous'
(WorldNet Daily) Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton says the Bush administration is caving in to global opinion by siding with Mexico and the International Court of Justice in their attempt to overturn the death penalty of an illegal alien convicted of raping and murdering two teenage girls.
It's "a bad mistake, but one of many mistakes, I'm sad to say, the administration has made recently," Bolton said in an interview with nationally syndicated radio host Laura Ingraham.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in the case of Jose Medellin, who confessed in 1993 to participating in the rape and murder of Houston teenagers Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena. The girls were sodomized and strangled with their shoe laces. Medellin bragged about keeping one girl's Mickey Mouse watch as a souvenir of the crime.
Medellin and four others were convicted of capital murder and sent to Texas' death row. The intervention in the case by the Bush administration comes after the International Court of Justice in the Hague found Medellin was not informed of his right to contact the Mexican Consulate for legal assistance. The cases of some 50 other Mexicans on death row could also be affected.
Bolton insisted the U.S. has no obligation to the world court in this case.
"It is ridiculous," he said. "The Vienna Convention on consular relations does not create rights personal to the individual. It's a state-to-state agreement." CONTINUED
US Designates 3 Saudi Funders as Terrorists
The US Department of the Treasury has designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists three individuals based in Saudi Arabia who have served as significant sources of financial and other support to individuals and entities in Southeast Asia previously named as SDGTs and listed pursuant to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1267. "These three terrorist financiers were instrumental in raising money to fund terrorism outside of Saudi Arabia," said Stuart Levey, Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. "In order to deter other would-be donors, it is important to hold these terrorists publicly accountable." Abdul Rahim Al-Talhi, Muhammad Abdallah Salih Sughayr, and Fahd Muhammad Abd Al-Aziz Al-Khashiban were designated for providing support to the Abu Sayyaf Group, an al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group responsible for multiple bombings, kidnappings and other terrorist attacks in Southeast Asia. The action was taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224. EO13224 is aimed at financially isolating terrorists and their support networks. Designations made under this authority freeze any assets the designees may have under US jurisdiction and prohibit transactions by US persons with the designees. This action under EO13224 also implements the decision by the UN1267 Committee to include these three persons on its Consolidated List of persons and entities associated with al Qaeda , the Taliban, or Osama bin Laden. This UN decision obligates UN member countries around the world to freeze the assets of the designees. SOURCE
