“What Obama is asking now is totally insane” – Georgia Eligibility Hearing

OBAMA BOYCOTTING GEORGIA ELIGIBILITY HEARING

Barack Obama has announced through his attorney that he will boycott the administrative hearings scheduled tomorrow in Georgia to review evidence of whether he legitimately is a candidate for the presidency, prompting an attorney for one set of the plaintiffs to describe the nation’s commander-in-chief as acting like a “5-year-old brat.”

A letter apparently from his lawyer, Michael Jablonski, was posted today on the website for California attorney Orly Taitz, whose determined pursuit of Obama’s eligibility documentation has taken her to courts across the nation, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jablonski told Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in the letter that “serious problems” had developed in the hearings “pending before the Office of State Administration Hearings.”

He said, “At issue in these hearings are challenges that allege that President Obama is not eligible to hold or run for re-election to his office, on the now wholly discredited theory that he does not meet the citizenship requirements.”

Iranian Checkmate? Oil Embargo on the European Union to Be Announced

It appears that the news concerning the demise of Iran Daily was premature: only one day’s suspension for supporting Ahmadinejad over the opposition party. The stories below detail the Iranian response to the implementation of the European Union’s oil embargo. The Majlis (Iran’s parliament) will be drafting legislation to ban oil exports to Europe prior to the EU embargo. The impact of an Iranian oil embargo to Europe may deepen the announced European recession in what is fast becoming a game of high stakes chicken.

“Experts believe that once Iran’s oil embargo takes effect, there will be a surge in oil prices and Iran will definitely be one of the parties that will benefit from the rising prices. In fact, it is only Western countries that will be losers due to the oil price hike.”

Iranian oil sales to India and China should generate enough revenue to keep their economy from collapsing but not enough to stop the current round of hyperinflation. The Iranian people should be coming out in an Iranian Spring in a matter of weeks. Unless a war breaks out prior to a populist uprising.

A Message for the Future

Obama - Biden

Friend —

Last night, the President went to Congress and defined in clear terms what we’re going to be fighting for in the months ahead.

That means that right now, it’s on us to get his back and work like hell to build this campaign. If we want to see this President re-elected, it’s time:

Add your name and say you’re standing with the President — and our shared vision for this country.

The True State of the Union: US Banks Have $248 Trillion in Notional Derivatives at Risk

I know that the financial information presented in this article may be seen as just another piece of bad news to add the list. However, this may be the one article that explains the true gravity of our country’s financial condition and how the impending collapse of the European Union will impact our US banks. The executive summary from the OCC’s Quarterly Report on Bank Trading and Derivatives Activities Third Quarter 2011 paints a doomsday scenario for US Banks: The notional amount of derivatives held by insured U.S. commercial banks is $248 trillion. This is why there are currently 844 banks on the FDIC troubled bank list. Continue reading

Iran Daily Closed for Supporting Ahmadinejad

The English online newspaper from Iran has been closed down. Earlier editions of Iran Daily are still available but the above image is all that is left of the “reformist newspaper”. This action was taken after publishing an article that attacked Ahmadinejad’s rival conservatives. In Iran, Ahmadinejad is viewed as a moderate and his support by the ruling theocracy is waning.

Based on media reports in our country, this might be seen as good news. However, the reality is that like Obama, Ahmadinejad is only a front man for the real power which in Iran’s case are the Islamist ayatollahs.

Iran daily closed over Ahmadinejad aide interview

What Does Nancy Pelosi Know about Newt Gingrich?

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZL0PXAGeY0

So Nancy Pelosi knows something about Newt Gingrich that will prevent him from ever being president. Her “secret” knowledge will prevent the GOP from nominating him? She has alluded in the past that this information is part of the ethics violations against Newt but these records are sealed and cannot be disclosed to the public.

So does Nancy Pelosi actually know something that we should know? If she does, you can be sure that it will be announced right after his nomination at the Republican convention.

Here is Newt Gingrich’s response to her allegations:

Gingrich: Pelosi comments ‘hysterical’

Newt Gingrich, responding Wednesday to comments from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that he has no shot at winning the presidency, said his campaign makes his former House colleague and other Democrats “hysterical.”

“As my campaign has gotten stronger, the attacks have become more hysterical and more factually incorrect,” Mr. Gingrich said in an interview Wednesday with The Washington Times-affiliated“America’s Morning News” radio program.

Mr Gingrich challenged Mrs. Pelosi to “put up or shut up.

“I have no idea what she’s talking about, I don’t think she has any idea what she’s talking about. But bring it on,” the GOP presidential front-runner told hosts John McCaslin and Dana Mills. “When you’re a left-wing Democrat, the prospect of a Gingrich presidency is really sort of like a nightmare. And they’re right. My goal is to go to Washington to change it, not just to get along with the old order.”

Nancy Pelosi referring to public information about Newt Gingrich

Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that she wasn’t referring to any confidential knowledge of Newt Gingrich that would prevent him from becoming president.

Pelosi clarified her remarks after saying on Tuesday on CNN about Gingrich, “He’s not going to be president of the United States… . Let me just make my prediction and stand by it … There is something I know.”

Pelosi’s spokesperson said that the remarks were being misinterpreted, and that she was merely referring to things that were in a 1990s-era Ethics Committee report compiled on Gingrich, which is in the public record.

“The ‘something’ Leader Pelosi knows is that Newt Gingrich will not be President of the United States. She made that clear last night,” said spokesperson Drew Hammill. “Leader Pelosi previously made a reference to the extensive amount of information that is in the public record, including the comprehensive committee report with which the public may not be fully aware.”

Pelosi issued a statement Wednesday, saying, “Any reference I would make to the Ethics Committee is confined to the public record.”

This is the second time the minority leader has hinted that she might have some particular knowledge about Gingrich.

“One of these days we’ll have a conversation about Newt Gingrich,” Pelosi told Talking Points Memo in December. “I know a lot about him. I served on the investigative committee that investigated him, four of us locked in a room in an undisclosed location for a year. A thousand pages of his stuff.”

“Not right here,” Pelosi said, when asked for more detail. “When the time’s right.”

Newt Gingrich on Wednesday dismissed Pelosi’s most recent comments about him.

“She lives in a San Francisco environment of strange fantasies and strange understandings of reality. I have no idea what’s in Nancy Pelosi’s head. If she knows something, spit it out. Tell us what it is. I have no idea what she’s talking about,” Gingrich said on NBC’s “Today” show.

Israel Asks the United Nations to Take Action Against Iran

Israel has asked the United Nations to take action against Iran before they are capable of building a nuclear weapon. There is no question which country would be the first target of an Iranian nuclear attack.

Palestinian religious leader Muhammad Hussein in a sermon broadcast on television last week told believers that killing Jews was “a sacred goal for Muslims.”

The world leaders have a difficult choice to make. Do they allow Iran to build nuclear weapons which in their minds “might” be used against Israel or do they make a preemptive strike now? In reality, a preemptive strike would be comprised of a series of bunker busting bombs over a large number of targets. This strike would probably be the catalyst for World War III.

The reality is that George Bush should have let Israel take action in the summer of 2008. Whether his decision to block Israel’s attack on Iran was based on the upcoming election or personal beliefs, he just kicked the can down the road. Well the can is up against a wall and the decision must be made shortly.

Iran is also up against a wall. Their economy is dependent on oil revenues based on a minimum of $80/barrel. With no oil revenue coming in due to economic sanctions, their choices are limited. They either have to go to war along with their allies (Russia, Syria, Cuba and Venezuela at a minimum) or they can wait for an economic collapse leading to an internal revolution.

Israel to United Nations: Take action against Iran

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor: Never has it been so clear that Iran is seeking to build a nuclear weapon; Israeli diplomat also rebukes Jerusalem mufti for reciting hadith calling “killing Jews” a “sacred goal.”

George Soros: At times like these, survival is the most important thing

SOROS: OCCUPY TO TURN VIOLENT

Billionaire George Soros is predicting protests by Occupy Wall Street will turn violent, while warning the U.S. financial system may collapse.

In an interview with Newsweek writer John Arlidge, Soros reportedly said riots on the streets of American cities are inevitable.

“‘Yes, yes, yes,’ he says, almost gleefully,” when asked about the prospect of Occupy turning violent, writes Arlidge.

Soros claimed the riots will “be an excuse for cracking down and using strong-arm tactics to maintain law and order, which, carried to an extreme, could bring about a repressive political system, a society where individual liberty is much more constrained, which would be a break with the tradition of the United States.”

“At times like these, survival is the most important thing,” Soros continued.

“I am not here to cheer you up. The situation is about as serious and difficult as I’ve experienced in my career,” Soros said.

Iran will make the world unsafe for Americans in the shortest possible time

Mohammad Kossari, deputy head of the Iranian parliament’s foreign affairs and national security committee has warned the US not to interfere when Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz. While Russia, China and Iran are playing a game of chess, the Obama administration is playing tic tac toe. Obama underestimated the Iranian threat throughout his campaign and administration. This threat was always about Russia and power. There will never be a greater opportunity to defeat the United States than with our weakest president in our history. Do you think Russia will wait for the results of the 2012 elections?

Iran slams EU oil embargo, warns could hit U.S.

Occupy Raleigh: The First 100 Days

Cathy Martin of Emerald Isle with her sign as she attended Occupy Raleigh in October

Occupy Raleigh celebrated their 100 day milestone yesterday. It appears that most of the early “leaders” are gone. Stacie Borrello is still around and I thought it would be appropriate to show her speech at the Capitol in Raleigh. Just to be clear, their first day debut at the Capitol was part of the worldwide Day of Rebellion.

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yiVcC-QVk8

Stacie Borrello’s Talking Points From the Day of Rebellion:

Ms. Borrello’s description of ”Peaceful Revolutionaries” on the Worldwide Day of Rebellion seems to be contradictory. I wonder if Lenin felt that his useful idiots were peaceful revolutionaries?

Workers of the world unite” – straight from the Communist Manifesto.
