Quit fantasizing about a utopia that can and will never happen – Arctic Patriot

Posted on May 14, 2012 by DRenegade

Here is a link to a Google docs page that is a record of actions taken to further this effort.

Here is the link for the page to record what actions you have taken in response to Bank of America’s actions.

Bank of America is not “the” problem.  Its actions, however, are a problem.

Americans handle their business without whining and crying to some elected or unelected government official to make the bad man stop.

Be an American.

If you are an “Occupier”, quit crying for momma.gov to help you out.  Quit looking to government and laws for the answer.

If you are part of the “patriot” or “liberty” movement, quit waiting for the “right” type of mamma.gov (whatever THAT is) to help you out.  Quit looking to government and laws for the answer.

WE ARE FIGHTING THE SAME ENEMY.

Civil War in US Before November Elections? Obama Gets What Obama Wants

Posted on May 14, 2012 by LT

The Obama administration, including his czars and his closest Progressive supporters, are planning a manufactured insurgency against America. Using the media to garner both sympathy and support for his unfinished goals.

Metaphorically speaking, there’s a revolution going on in the U.S., propped up by three legs. Economic chaos, chaos through racial division, and chaos through class division, all joined by one core element: Barack Hussein Obama and his stable of unelected czars. Obama is using the lessons learned in 1968 as the template for 2012, and many of those who were active in the late 1960s are now calling the shots for 2012.

“The Obama administration and many of the un-elected ‘czars,’ either directly or indirectly, are engaged in covert activities with the occupy movement, various labor protests, and other subversive activities inside the U.S.,” stated my source. Using untracked campaign funds, they are paying people to infiltrate the various movements to cause physical destruction of property and disrupt commerce. That began last year, but has increased ten-fold already this year,” stated this source. He added that they are using some lower level DHS agents to make the payments under the context of tracking subversives, but they are the unwitting subversives. “It’s like Fast & Furious” but in the social realm,” he added.

“Obama is using some high profile people as pawns to foment the revolution. I heard several times through very credible sources that [Louis] Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll. Others have been named as well, but I’m not prepared to identify them yet. Farrakhan is to coordinate the Blacks and the Muslims to prepare for riots this summer, using any means necessary.”

“Mentioned at the meeting Saturday were methods to use pawns to simulate the rioting in the Arab Spring countries, but to the benefit of this administration. A controlled chaos thing,” stated my source. They envision rioting starting in the urban areas first, such as New York and other major cities, followed by a disruption of business and commerce. This will allow the DHS to mobilize their various teams into the streets of America without objection of the people,” stated my source. Continue reading →

$2 Billion Loss for JP Morgan, $11 Billion Settlement for Bank of America

Posted on May 13, 2012 by DRenegade

Bank of America has put $11 billion aside to reduce principal on existing mortgages as part of yet another settlement to the government. What do you have to do to qualify:

1. Have a mortgage with Bank of America or have a loan serviced by Bank of America for an investor who is allowing the modifications.

2. Be 60 days late as of Jan. 31, 2012.

3. The mortgage must be underwater: the homeowner owes more than the home is worth.

So if I stopped paying my mortgage and paid too much for my home, I will now be rewarded with a reduction in the principal of my mortgage? Continue reading →

Iran: The Era of “Pressure Strategy” Has Long Ended

Posted on May 13, 2012 by DRenegade

Image

How do you appraise the intentions of an enemy? You analyze both their actions and their official statements. Iran is stating in very clear terms that they will not be pressured into a compromise concerning their nuclear program. Economic sanctions have failed and the West only has one option left: war. But no one wants war. Especially in an election year where Obama’s 2008 campaign promises concerning foreign wars have been broken. Our future is not in our hands but in the hands of Russia, Iran and Israel.

Probable outcome: Putin will use Iran or an Iranian conflict to deflect attention from the civil war in Syria. Nothing is more important to Russia at this point in time than saving their naval status in Tartus, Syria. Nothing is more important to Obama than getting reelected. Again, Iran is playing chess while the United States is playing checkers.

Iran Warns West against Miscalculations, Says Pressure Strategy Endangers Baghdad Talks

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran’s chief negotiator in talks with the six world powers called on the western states to avoid “unconstructive remarks” ahead of the upcoming talks between Tehran and the Group 5+1 in Baghdad, warning that the era of “pressure strategy” has long ended and “any kind of miscalculation” would endanger success of the negotiations.

“The era of the strategy of pressure has ended,” Saeed Jalili said in a meeting here in Tehran on Sunday with Former French Prime Minister Michel Rocard, alluding to some recent remarks by a number of western officials.

He further noted some western officials’ illogical comments and unfounded claims which have been repeatedly rejected by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and cautioned these western officials to avoid “unconstructive remarks”.

“Any kind of miscalculation by the West will deter success of the Talks,” Jalili underlined, and added, “In Baghdad, we will be waiting for the building of the Iranian nation’s confidence.”

The former French premier, for his part, said that the “Istanbul talks were a positive step ahead”, and expressed the hope that Iran and the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) would continue the path of understanding that they started in Istanbul so that “we will witness the pleasure and mutual understanding of all sides”.

“Such a success will be in the interest of all, including France,” he reiterated.

Iran and the Group 5+1 restarted negotiations in Istanbul last month and the sides have agreed to meet again in Baghdad on May 23.

Didn’t Obama Say That Iran Will Not Be Allowed to Have Nuclear Bombs?

Posted on May 13, 2012 by DRenegade

July 2, 2009

The following report from Debka will change the dynamics in the Middle East. The willingness of the West to compromise (appease) Iran through negotiations has now shown how Iran deftly played Obama and Hillary Clinton’s State Department as well as North Korea. So where does this leave us? In a worst case scenario of a EMP attack. Fear mongering or reality?

Connecting the dots:

  • Iran has successfully tested missile launches from ships capable of detonating a nuclear warhead to generate an EMP.
  • Iran has openly declared that the United States is the Great Satan and must be destroyed.
  • Obama has publicly stated above that Iran will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
  • If Iran knows that an attack is imminent, their option would be to launch a preemptive nuclear strike.
  • With the release of the Iranian nuclear experts’ names and the second round of talks in Iraq scheduled on May 23rd, time is running out for Iran.

Preparedness for Dark Times

Posted on May 13, 2012 by DRenegade

I am a deputy sheriff in Louisiana and patrol primarily on the night shift. A few nights ago my shift was alerted that the main city in our parish was under a complete “black out”, meaning a total loss of ALL electricity. The reason for the blackout was unknown but the repercussions were great. The power stayed out for a mere hour and a half, but that was all it took to cause chaos all throughout the city. In this hour and a half multiple shootings occurred, multiple wrecks occurred on the highways and city streets, and multiple stores and businesses were broken into and looted due to security systems malfunctioning. All within that small hour and a half. It really shows how fragile the order in our cities hangs in the balance. People who would probably have been watching television or engaging in other peaceful activities, were gathering in the streets starting fights. All because the lights and tv turned off. Wow. Only a handful of people had nothing to worry about because they were prepared with a few necessities such as: flashlights, food, water, protection (I.e. Rifle, handgun, or shotgun).

I am writing this to remind you of the importance of being prepared for a “lights out” situation like this.

Hizballah rushes arms to Syria, Iran sets up security cameras in Damascus

Posted on May 11, 2012 by DRenegade

The shocking impact of the twin explosions which killed 55 people and injured almost 400 in Damascus Thursday, May 10, galvanized Bashar Assad’s allies, starting with Iran, into frenetic activity. Within hours, Tehran had ordered its Lebanese proxy Hizballah to open up its arms stores and run quantities of weapons and military equipment across the border to the Syrian army – a striking reversal of the routine direction of arms supplies. Thursday night, Washington quietly asked Lebanese President Michel Suleiman to put a stop to the traffic.

The Bank of America Declaration

Posted on May 11, 2012 by DRenegade

Our actions to restore our nation to its original founding principles are coming to a crossroads. We have been divided in our efforts through an inability to focus upon one issue as a whole. Most of our efforts have been (and still are) focused on the 2012 elections and political ideologies. Our nation was founded on Liberty, not political power and agendas. We need a tangible goal now to show that patriots (not partisans) still control our destiny. One goal, one victory will show that We the People are in control of Liberty’s future.

We believe that the recent events surrounding the Bank of America can become this goal to win our first battle. This institution has decided that the 2nd amendment of the Constitution of the United States is not in line with their bank’s code of ethics. We understand that this amendment’s purpose was to protect us from an abusive government. It appears that they feel it may be used to protect us from abusive financial institutions as well. And they may be correct:  the distinction between government and financial institutions in our country is gone.

The Bank of America is the country’s largest bank with assets of $2.3 trillion. This bank currently has $75 trillion in credit derivatives.

Here is a list of additional grievances: Continue reading →
