Georgia's flag contains the phrase In God We Trust under a sentry guarding the state constitution(Jan. 3, 2012) — Atty. Orly Taitz has posted on her website an order from Judge Michael Malihi denying the request of an attorney representing Barack Hussein Obama to dismiss three ballot challenges filed respectively by Taitz, Atty. Van Irion, and Atty. J. Mark Hatfield on behalf of Georgia registered voters and others.Taitz represents four presidential candidates and a Georgia voter, David Farra; Irion represents David Welden, a Georgia voter; and Hatfield represents Carl Swensson and Kevin Richard Powell, both Georgia voters.The Post & Email published an article on January 2, 2012 regarding Taitz’s ballot challenge in Georgia as well as in other states.Also on January 2, 2012, The Post & Email spoke with Atty. Van Irion, who described his ballot challenge on behalf of David Welden. Irion had stated that a hearing was scheduled for January 26, 2012, and we have contacted him to inquire as to whether or not that hearing will take place given today’s order from Judge Malihi.
In his order, Malihi wrote, in part:The Georgia Election Code (the Code) mandates that [e]very candidate for federal and state office who is certified by the state executive committee of a political party or who files a notice of candidacy shall meet the constitutional and statutory qualifications for holding the office being sought.O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(a).The Post & Email had published another Georgia voter’s petition asking that a special grand jury be convened to investigate the non-response of Secretary of State Brian Kemp to the voter’s previous FOIA request and formal letter inquiring as to the information Kemp relied upon in 2008 to place Obama’s name on the ballot. The voter cited the same statute as Malihi in contending that registered voters have a right to challenge candidates’ qualifications for any office. The voter, Millard Blanchard, claimed that Kemp had broken the law by failing to remove Obama’s name from the 2012 presidential ballot.
Judge Malihi appeared to support Blanchard’s claim in his decision:Both the Secretary of State and the electors of Georgia are granted the authority under the Code to challenge the qualifications of a candidate. The challenge procedures are defined in Code Section 21-2-5(b), which authorizes any elector who is eligible to vote for a candidate to challenge the qualifications of the candidate by filing a written complaint with the Secretary of State within two weeks after the deadline for qualifying. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-5(b).A former secretary of state, Karen Handel, utilized the law when she disqualified someone from his candidacy for local office.
Of the new development, Taitz stated on her website, I still can’t believe this…Judge Malihi, Deputy Chief judge of the Administrative court in GA, ruled, that Obama’s motion to dismiss is denied. He will have to stand trial and prove his eligibility for office…Now judge Malihi is sending a message: nobody is above the law.Questions have swirled since 2008 regarding Obama’s constitutional eligibility for the office of president. While he claims a birth in Hawaii, many experts deemed the long-form birth certificate issued on April 27, 2011 a forgery. Obama also claims having been born to a foreign father who never held U.S. citizenship, thereby raising the issue of whether or not he meets the criterion of natural born Citizen as stated in Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution.
The Post & Email is aware of at least one researcher who has stated that Obama falsified his entire background and that he was actually born in New York City to two U.S.-citizen parents but sent to live in Indonesia as a toddler. Trowbridge has asked Obama to step forth in integrity.Today in Concord, NH, several state legislators held a press conference to inform the public about what they believe could have been election fraud committed in 2008 by Barack Hussein Obama if he was not constitutionally eligible to seek the office of president. They have also objected to the denial by the New Hampshire Supreme Court to review a decision by the state Ballot Law Commission to include Obama’s name on the ballot for the 2012 election. The Commission as well as the Secretary of State’s office claimed they were not responsible for vetting candidates, but in both 2011 and 2008, the Assistant Secretary of State had disqualified one candidate, respectively, for failing to meet constitutional eligibility requirements for the presidency.In 2010, a candidate for U.S. Congress from Texas was disqualified by the Secretary of State for apparently having a party affiliation as he was planning to run as an Independent.A challenges to Obama’s eligibility has also been filed in New York, and a website with national scope has been established to assist voters to do so in each of the 50 states.

Hungarian leader accused of dictatorship over new constitution Today JAN 3,12 @ 09:30 By Valentina Pop
BRUSSELS - Tens of thousands of Hungarians on Monday (2 January) went on the streets of Budapest in protest against controversial constitutional changes enacted one day earlier by centre-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban, with former dissidents accusing him of dictatorship.According to the organisers of the rally, up to 100,000 people marched outside the opera house in central Budapest where Orban and other politicians celebrated the new constitution.Protesters chanted slogans denouncing Orban's dictatorship, holding up boards saying Enough! and Orbanistan as dignitaries arrived for the event.Viktor Orban and his servants turned Hungary from a promising place to the darkest spot in Europe,Socialist MP Tibor Szanyi said according to AFP.
Earlier that day, in a statement entitled The decline of democracy - the rise of dictatorship, 13 former Communist dissidents, a group to which Orban once belonged, accused him of removing checks and balances and pursuing a systematic policy of closing autonomous institutions.The letter also urged the EU not to sit back and watch as [Hungary] is being held hostage by an outdated, provincial tyrant,and to make a stand against him.Thanks to his super-majority in the Hungarian parliament, Orban last year passed a series of constitutional changes which critics say will limit media freedom and judicial independence. He also passed a banking law which has drawn the ire of the EU, the International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank for putting the Hungarian central bank under Fidesz party control.The constitution now references God, defines marriage as a union between man and woman and life as beginning at conception, sparking criticism from international organisations and EU members.In Orban's view, the new legal text marks the end of the country’s transition to democracy from Communism - as he explained in an interview with the Magyar Nemzet newspaper on 24 December.Foreign journalists are right when describing what happens in Hungary not just as simple governance, but a regime change,he told the newspaper.They say this in a disparaging way but I think this is a compliment. We Hungarians have failed for over a hundred years to show western Europe our own virtues.For his part, Mark Palmer, a former US ambassador in Budapest during the country's last years of Communism until 1990, told the main opposition newspaper Nepszabadsag that Hungary's ejection from the European Union is now no longer unthinkable.The country won’t be tolerated if it no longer counts as a democracy.The former diplomat's outrage at Orban's constitutional reforms comes one week before an attempt in Washington to resume informal talks between the Hungarian government and the International Monetary Fund for a loan to prop its ailing economy.
An initial round of talks broke off last month because Fidesz approved a law curbing the independence of the central bank.Orban defied two letters from EU commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso and approved the bill. His country's credit rating was also downgraded to junk by Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
US Closes 2011 With Record $15.22 Trillion In Debt, Officially At 100.3% Debt/GDP, $14 Billion From Breaching Debt Ceiling Tyler Durden's picture Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2012 16:49 -0500
While not news to Zero Hedge readers who knew about the final debt settlement of US debt about 10 days ahead of schedule, it is now official: according to the US Treasury, America has closed the books on 2011 with debt at an all time record $15,222,940,045,451.09. And, as was observed here first in all of the press, US debt to GDP is now officially over 100%, or 100.3% to be specific, a fact which the US government decided to delay exposing until the very end of the calendar year. We wonder, rhetorically, just how prominent of a talking point this historic event will be in any upcoming GOP primary debates. And yes, technically this number is greater than the debt ceiling but it excludes various accounting gimmicks. When accounting for those, the US has a debt ceiling buffer of... $14 billion, or one third the size of a typical bond auction.
World’s Biggest Economies Face $7.6 Trillion Bond Tab as Rally Seen Fading By Keith Jenkins and Anchalee Worrachate - Jan 3, 2012 11:33 AM ET
Jan. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Governments of the world's leading economies have more than $7.6 trillion of debt maturing this year, with most facing a rise in borrowing costs. The amount needing to be refinanced increases to more than $8 trillion when interest payments are included. Linda Yueh reports on Bloomberg Television's First Look with Caroline Hyde.Governments of the world’s leading economies have more than $7.6 trillion of debt maturing this year, with most facing a rise in borrowing costs.Led by Japan’s $3 trillion and the U.S.’s $2.8 trillion, the amount coming due for the Group of Seven nations and Brazil, Russia, India and China is up from $7.4 trillion at this time last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Ten-year bond yields will be higher by year-end for at least seven of the countries, forecasts show.Investors may demand higher compensation to lend to countries that struggle to finance increasing debt burdens as the global economy slows, surveys show. The International Monetary Fund cut its forecast for growth this year to 4 percent from a prior estimate of 4.5 percent as Europe’s debt crisis spreads, the U.S. struggles to reduce a budget deficit exceeding $1 trillion and China’s property market cools.The weight of supply may be a concern,Stuart Thomson, a money manager in Glasgow at Ignis Asset Management Ltd., which oversees $121 billion, said in a Dec. 28 telephone interview. “Rather than the start of the year being the problem, it’s the middle part of the year that becomes the problem. That’s when we see the slowdown in the global economy having its biggest impact.
Competition for Buyers
The amount needing to be refinanced rises to more than $8 trillion when interest payments are included. Coming after a year in which Standard & Poor’s cut the U.S.’s rating to AA+ from AAA and put 15 European nations on notice for possible downgrades, the competition to find buyers is heating up.It is a big number and obviously because many governments are still in a deficit situation the debt continues to accumulate and that’s one of the biggest problems, Elwin de Groot, an economist at Rabobank Nederland in Utrecht, Netherlands, part of the world’s biggest agricultural lender, said in an interview on Dec. 27.While most of the world’s biggest debtors had little trouble financing their debt load in 2011, with Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Global Sovereign Broad Market Plus Index gaining 6.1 percent, the most since 2008, that may change.Italy auctioned 7 billion euros ($9.14 billion) of debt on Dec. 29, less than the 8.5 billion euros targeted. With an economy sinking into its fourth recession since 2001, Prime Minister Mario Monti’s government must refinance about $428 billion of securities coming due this year, the third-most, with another $70 billion in interest payments, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Rising Costs
Borrowing costs for G-7 nations will rise as much as 39 percent from 2011, based on forecasts of 10-year government bond yields by economists and strategists surveyed by Bloomberg in separate surveys. China’s 10-year yields may remain little changed, while India’s are projected to fall to 8.02 percent from 8.36 percent. The survey doesn’t include estimates for Russia and Brazil.After Italy, France has the most amount of debt coming due, at $367 billion, followed by Germany at $285 billion. Canada has $221 billion, while Brazil has $169 billion, the U.K. has $165 billion, China (PRCH) has $121 billion and India $57 billion. Russia has the least maturing, or $13 billion.Rising borrowing costs forced Greece, Portugal and Ireland to seek bailouts from the European Union and IMF. Italy’s 10- year yields exceeded 7 percent last month, a level that preceded the request for aid from those three nations.
Bad Combination.The buyer base for peripheral Europe has obviously shrunk at the same time that the supply coming to the market is increasing, which is not a good combination,said Michael Riddell, a London-based fund manager at M&G Investments, which oversees about $323 billion.The two biggest debtors, Japan and the U.S., have shown little trouble attracting demand.Japan benefits by having a surplus in its current account, which is the broadest measure of trade and means that the nation doesn’t need to rely on foreign investors to finance its budget deficits. The U.S. benefits from the dollar’s role as the world’s primary reserve currency.Japan’s 10-year bond yields, at less than 1 percent, are the second-lowest in the world, after Switzerland, even though its debt is about twice the size of its economy.
The U.S. attracted $3.04 for each dollar of the $2.135 trillion in notes and bonds sold last year, the most since the government began releasing the data in 1992. The U.S. drew an all-time high bid-to-cover ratio of 9.07 for $30 billion of four-week bills it auctioned on Dec. 20 even though they pay zero percent interest.
Tougher Year
With yields on 10-year Treasuries (USGG10YR) below 2 percent, an increasing number of investors see little chance for U.S. bonds to repeat last year’s gains of 9.79 percent. The U.S pays an average interest rate of about 2.18 percent on its outstanding debt, down from 2.51 percent in 2009, Bloomberg data show.Given how well they have done, we don’t think they’re any longer a very good hedge, Eric Pellicciaro, head of global rates investment at New York-based BlackRock Inc., which manages $1.14 trillion in fixed-income assets, said in a Dec. 16 telephone interview.
The median estimate of 70 economists and strategists is for Treasury 10-year note yields to rise to 2.60 percent by year-end from 1.95 percent at 11:27 a.m. New York time. In Japan, the forecast for the nation’s benchmark note yield is 1.35 percent, while it’s expected to rise to 2.50 percent in Germany, from 1.90 percent today.
Central Banks
Central banks are bolstering demand by either keeping interest rates at record lows or reducing them, and by purchasing bonds in a policy know as quantitative easing.
The Federal Reserve has said it will keep its target rate for overnight loans between banks between zero and 0.25 percent through mid-2013, and is now selling $400 billion of its short- term Treasuries and reinvesting the proceeds into longer-term government debt in a program traders dubbed Operation Twist.The Bank of Japan has kept its key rate at or below 0.5 percent since 1995, and expanded the asset-purchase program last year to 20 trillion yen ($260 billion). The Bank of England kept its main rate at a record low 0.5 percent last month, and left its asset-buying target at 275 billion pounds ($431 billion).The European Central Bank reduced its main refinancing rate twice last quarter, to 1 percent from 1.5 percent. It followed those moves by allotting 489 billion euros of three-year loans to euro-region lenders. That exceeded the median estimate of 293 billion euros in a Bloomberg News survey of economists. The central bank will offer a second three-year loan on Feb. 28.
Flush With Liquidity
The money from the ECB may be used by banks to buy government bonds, according to Fabrizio Fiorini, the chief investment officer at Aletti Gestielle SGR SpA in Milan.
The market is now flush with liquidity after measures taken by central banks, particularly the ECB, and that’s great news for risky assets,Fiorini said in a telephone interview on Dec. 20. The market will have no problem taking down supply from countries like Spain and Italy in the first quarter. In fact, they should be able to raise money at lower borrowing costs than what we saw in recent months.Italy’s sale last week included 2.5 billion euros of 5 percent bonds due in March 2022, which yielded 6.98 percent. That was down from 7.56 percent at an auction Nov. 29. It sold 9 billion euros of bills on Dec. 28 at a rate of 3.251 percent, compared with 6.504 percent at the previous auction on Nov. 25.
Phony War
Investors should be most worried about the period after the ECB’s second three-year longer-term refinancing operation scheduled in February, according to Ignis’s Thomson.The amount of liquidity that has been supplied by central banks, with more to come from the ECB in February, suggests the first couple of months will be a sort of phony war as far as the supply is concerned,Thomson said.The ECB has bought about 212 billion euros of government bonds since starting a program in May 2010 to contain borrowing costs for Greece, Portugal and Ireland. It began buying Spanish and Italian debt in August, according to people familiar with the trades, who declined to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the transactions.There’s a lot of talk that the ECB might have to give more direct support to the governments,Frances Hudson, who helps manage about $242 billion as a global strategist at Standard Life Investments in Edinburgh, said in a Dec. 22 telephone interview.Following is a table of bond and bill redemptions and interest payments in 2012 for the Group of Seven countries, Brazil, China, India and Russia, in dollars, using data calculated by Bloomberg as of Dec. 29:
Country 2012 Bond, Bill Redemptions ($) Coupon Payments
Japan 3,000 billion 117 billion
U.S. 2,783 billion 212 billion
Italy 428 billion 72 billion
France 367 billion 54 billion
Germany 285 billion 45 billion
Canada 221 billion 14 billion
Brazil 169 billion 31 billion
U.K. 165 billion 67 billion
China 121 billion 41 billion
India 57 billion 39 billion
Russia 13 billion 9 billion

Iran Warns the United States Over Aircraft Carrier Kenneth Abbate/U.S. Navy, via Associated Press-The aircraft carrier John C. Stennis in the Strait of Hormuz in November.By J. DAVID GOODMAN Published: January 3, 2012
The warning, by Iran’s military chief, was the latest and most aggressive volley in a nearly daily exchange of barbed statements between Iran and the United States. Iran has just finished ambitious naval exercises near the strait, and it has repeatedly threatened to close the passage — through which roughly one-fifth of all the crude oil traded worldwide passes — if Western powers move forward with new sanctions on Iran’s petroleum exports.We recommend to the American warship that passed through the Strait of Hormuz and went to Gulf of Oman not to return to the Persian Gulf, said Maj. Gen. Ataollah Salehi, the commander in chief of the army, as reported by Iran’s official news agency, IRNA. The Islamic Republic of Iran will not repeat its warning.General Salehi did not say what action Iran would take if the carrier were to re-enter the Persian Gulf.A spokesman for the Defense Department, Cmdr. Bill Speaks, declined to discuss future movements of the carrier, the John C. Stennis. He said that the deployment of U.S. military assets in the Persian Gulf region will continue as it has for decades.The United States dismissed Iran’s threats to close the strait. The U.S. Navy operates under international maritime conventions to maintain a constant state of high vigilance in order to ensure the continued safe flow of maritime traffic in waterways critical to global commerce, Commander Speaks said.Iran’s economy, already reeling from Western sanctions over its nuclear program, has been hit hard by discussion of new sanctions aimed at its oil exports, the world’s third largest. President Obama signed new legislation on Saturday that could penalize buyers of Iranian oil, and the European Union has openly talked of a boycott of Iran’s oil. On Tuesday, France urged the European Union to adopt stricter sanctions, including an oil embargo, by the end of the month.
Iran’s currency, the rial, fell to record lows against the dollar on Tuesday, news agencies reported. Oil prices rose sharply in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with the benchmark contract for crude up more than 4 percent to $102.91 a barrel.The attempts by Iran’s leadership to flex the country’s muscles on the world stage coincide with efforts to stamp out dissent at home ahead of planned parliamentary elections in March, the first ballot to be held since a disputed presidential vote in 2009 prompted national protests and a severe crackdown.On Tuesday, an Iranian court sentenced Faezeh Hashemi, the daughter of former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, to six months in prison for spreading what it termed propaganda against the Islamic system, the semiofficial Mehr news agency reported. The court also barred her from engaging in any political, cultural or media activities for five years.Last week, access to the Web site of Mr. Rafsanjani, who is widely perceived as having supported Mir Hussein Moussavi against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the 2009 election, was blocked in Iran.Ms. Hashemi, a former Parliament member and an outspoken critic of Mr. Ahmadinejad, has been active in opposition politics; she was briefly detained last year after being accused of chanting antigovernment slogans during a banned rally in Tehran. She was also detained during a demonstration in 2009 over the disputed presidential election.The government has prosecuted and convicted many opposition members since the 2009 street protests, but it has so far shied away from holding trials for Mr. Moussavi or Mehdi Karroubi, the principal opposition figures in Iran, who have been under house arrest for months.While the Iranian leadership has offered assurances that reformist candidates will be permitted to run for office in the March elections, Mr. Moussavi and Mr. Karroubi have urged their supporters to stay home.
JOB 24:1-25 (WHAT NEW WORLD ORDER CONTROL FREAKS DO TO US)
1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Will Google be forced to ban its own browser from its index? Google's policy of penalising companies by removing them from its index for infringing rules on paid links may have come back to haunt it Charles Arthur guardian.co.uk, Tuesday 3 January 2012 18.22 GMT
Google is wrestling with a thorny conundrum: should it block its own Chrome browser from its search index for between a month and a year for breaking its own rules on paid links, after a mixup by some bloggers for a video advertising scheme? The problem has arisen after Google paid Unruly Media, an international media agency, to get a number of paid bloggers to promote a video for its Chrome browser featuring a US flour company.But while the bloggers did the job they had been asked to, and put up the video, some went beyond what Unruly Media – and Google – had expected them to, and included links to places where you could download the Chrome browser. Crucially, though, they didn't use the nofollow text that Google mandates for paid links. That, strictly, took them over the line on paid links.Update: a company called Essence Digital has now said that it acted as an intermediary between Google and Unruly Media. In a post on Google+, it said:
We want to be perfectly clear here: Google never approved a sponsored-post campaign. They only agreed to buy online video ads. Google have consistently avoided paid postings to promote their products, because in their view these kind of promotions are not transparent or in the best interests of users. In this case, Google were subjected to this activity through media that encouraged bloggers to create what appeared to be paid posts, were often of poor quality and out of line with Google standards. We apologize to Google who clearly didn't authorize this.The sponsored blogposts (such as this one, though it does not link to Chrome) were first noticed by Aaron Wall at SEO Book. He commented: You can say they didn't require the links, that the links were incidental, that leaving nofollow off was an accident, etc ... but does Google presume the same level of innocence when torching webmasters? They certainly did not to the bloggers who reviewed K-Mart [who were removed from the search ranking] and the Google reconsideration request form states: In general, sites that directly profit from traffic (e.g. search engine optimisers, affiliate programmes, etc) may need to provide more evidence of good faith before a site will be reconsidered.At Search Engine Land, Danny Sullivan wrote: Potentially, all this means that Google will have to ban the Google Chrome download page over paid links. That would suck for Google, since it's busy running ads for Google Chrome, which will in turn prompt people to search for it. Right now, the page appears at the top of results for searches on google chrome.Andrew Girdwood, who has worked in the past with Unruly Media, said: My hunch is that individual bloggers have written editorials for their sponsored video (which is just a CPA [cost per action] ad [where bloggers would get paid any time somebody watches the ad] – like so many others, just like any affiliate deal) and put a link naturally into that text … I doubt these posts were about links.Scott Button, the chief executive of Unruly Media, told the Guardian: A blogger, who we didn't ask to link to a Google Chrome page, linked to a Google Chrome page, and did so without using the nofollow attribute. Obviously they shouldn't do this in the context of a blog post that embeds one of our sponsored videos. As soon as we found out about it, we got it fixed. To be clear, we're not in the business of getting bloggers to write about products or link to advertisers' websites. We distrubute branded video content, and we pay bloggers (and big websites and app developers) when their audiences watch the videos. That's what Google paid us to do, and that's our business. The SEM [search engine marketing] angle is basically a red herring - it doesn't bear any relation to our business nor any relation to the objectives of the Google Chrome campaign.
Button declined to say how much bloggers are paid per viewing. Unruly Media runs about a thousand social video campaigns annually from nine offices, Button said. It's a grown up business and growing very fast, but this is still small beer in relation to the $500bn plus that brands spend on media each year.But just as concerning for a number of observers was the content of the posts preceding the video: Wall called it low-quality filler pablum content that the Panda update was alleged to discourage, while Sullivan commented: That's perhaps the bigger problem with this campaign, much more disturbing to me. Google's paying to produce a lot of garbage.But that garbage appeared to be having benefits, based on Sullivan's searching: the Telecommutingmommies post linked above ranked second, when he looked, in a search for google chrome benefits. When the Guardian tried the same search on Tuesday evening, the same post also ranked second.That, says Sullivan, pollutes the results: Imagine you're someone trying to understand the benefits to using Google Chrome versus other browsers. Out of 21m possible matches, two of Google's sponsored garbage posts make it into the top 10 results.Even worse, he says, is that the video which caused all the trouble doesn't actually mention Chrome at all. You may have seen on television already. It has nothing to do even with how Chrome actually helped the Vermont flour producer featured, King Arthur Flour, succeed … Since King Arthur Flour has been online since at least December 2006, I'm willing to bet it got its start through the Internet Explorer browser. It sure wasn't Chrome, which didn't exist at the time.In a statement, Google said: Google never agreed to anything more than online ads. We have consistently avoided paid sponsorships, including paying bloggers to promote our products, because these kind of promotions are not transparent or in the best interests of users. We're now looking at what changes we need to make to ensure that this never happens again.(Disclosure: Unruly Media provides the Guardian's Viral Video Chart)

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
REVELATION 20:4
4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Tue Jan 03 02:19pm EST-Terrell Suggs goes out of his way to bash Tim Tebow By Chris Chase-Terrell Suggs goes out of his way to bash Tim Tebow
The Baltimore Ravens have a playoff bye this week. Don't think that means Terrell Suggs' mouth will be taking it easy.The linebacker took a mostly unprovoked shot at Tim Tebow during a Tuesday appearance on ESPN's First Take.With all due respect we don't need God on our sidelines,Suggs said. Once again God had to save Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos. He couldn't even give them two drives? Seven to three? [Referring to the score Denver lost by on Sunday.]Technically, it was the San Diego Chargers that saved Tebow and the Broncos. Without the Bolts' win over Oakland, Tebow would be sitting in a pew Sunday instead of the locker room. Is Suggs trying to say that Norv Turner is some sort of deity? Never mind that. For now, let's point out that ripping on Tebow is the equivalent of shooting a dead fish in a small barrel. Pick a better target, T-Sizzle.It also bears noting that while Baltimore and Denver could meet up in the divisional playoffs, it would take a Cincinnati upset of Houston (possible) and a Broncos victory over Pittsburgh (nope) for it to happen. In all likelihood, Suggs won't be blitzing Tebow anytime soon.And that right there is why you spend four years hitting the books at Ball So Hard University. Where else would you learn that true artists don't need to be playing against an opponent to engage in some trash talking?

DOCTOR DOCTORIAN FROM ANGEL OF GOD
then the angel said, Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.
JAMES 5:1-3
1 Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
REVELATION 18:10,17,19
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
EZEKIEL 7:19
19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

New Year speeches voice fears on future of Europe
Today JAN 2,12 @ 18:08 By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU leaders have said in their festive messages the single currency is still at risk unless they take decisive action.For her part, German Chancellor Angela Merkel noted that the danger coincides with the 10th birthday of the now-familiar red, blue and brown banknotes with their little motifs of EU maps and Romanesque or Gothic windows.In a few hours it will be exactly 10 years since many of us at just around midnight withdrew our first euros from a bank machine. Since then, the euro has made our lives easier and our economy stronger,she said on national TV on 31 December.She linked the fate of the currency to the fate of the Union itself.We must never forget that the peaceful unification of our continent is a historic gift. It has given us over half a century of peace, freedom, justice, human rights and democracy ... You can rest assured that I will do everything I can to strengthen the euro. But this will only succeed if Europe draws lessons from past mistakes. One is that a common currency can only be truly successful if we work together more than ever in Europe.Her lesson on working together comes ahead of intergovernmental negotiations on a new treaty that will transform the Union into an economic federation with one central authority deciding how member states spend their money. A working group comprising of diplomats and parliamentary observers is set to resume talks on Friday (6 December).French President Nicolas Sarkozy used more alarming language.
This extraordinary crisis, without doubt the most serious one since World War II, this crisis is not over ... To get out of it, to construct a new model of growth, to give birth to a new Europe - these are just some of the challenges which await us,he said.The theme was repeated all around the continent.Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos said he will fight not to change the crisis into an irregular, catastrophic collapse, to remain in the euro.Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga urged fortitude no matter how radical the scenario which occurs.Estonian President Toomas Ilves warned: We have no idea whether Europe, coveted by us for so long, will bring us salvation or vexation.Leaders warned there will be more spending cuts, more taxes, less welfare and a growing threat to liberal values.The fat years are behind us. We must prepare ourselves for some lean years,Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who took over the rotating EU presidency on 1 January, said.Amid a rise in far-right movements in several EU countries, she noted that the Denmark we love is a country for the many and not for the few. It is a country based on diversity.Merkel also devoted a large part of her speech to condemning a neo-Nazi fraternity exposed in December for having murdered nine people of Turkish and Greek origin in recent years. It is our duty to defend the values of our open and free society,she said.The New Year's messages voiced optimism the euro will pull through. But the villains of the crisis - bankers and profligate former leaders - got bloody noses despite the festive season.Italian President Giorgio Napolitano described ex-prime-minister Silvio Berlusconi's legacy as one of corruption and parasitism, of widespread lawlessness and even criminal pollution ... [of] massive and unjustifiable tax evasion.Sarkozy told bankers they will be made to repair the damage they have done ... It's a question of justice. It's a question of morality. A tax on financial transactions must be put into force.And even British leader David Cameron - who just three weeks ago shocked the Union by vetoing an EU Treaty change in the name of protecting London's financial markets - fell in with the popular mood.
While a few at the top get rewards that seem to have nothing to do with the risks they take or the effort they put in, many others are stuck on benefits, without hope or responsibility. So we will tackle excess in the City just as we're reforming welfare to make work pay and to support families,he said.
The coming war inside America January 2, 2012 By Director By Douglas J. Hagmann
As the attention of most Americans was captivated by the shiny object in Times Square this weekend like infants fixated on car keys dangled in front of them, Barack Hussein Obama signed into law H.R. 1540, better known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Regardless of any concurrent executive signing statements that are mere window dressing and not legally binding, Obama and every member of congress who crafted and voted for this act has essentially declared war on American citizens on U.S. soil.To quote Rush Limbaugh, words mean things.As a career investigator, I can assure you that words contained in local, state and federal laws most certainly mean things, and provide the legal authority for conduct sanctioned by national or state authorities without regard to any promised judicial or prosecutorial discretion that could be likened to the signing statement. The NDAA now codifies the most controversial aspects of the Patriot Act, which candidate Obama publicly opposed. What changed?
Greasing the slope
Any person of reasonable sensibilities should be raising a multitude of questions upon considering the current and historical conduct of the executive and legislative branches of our government. It was the attack on 9/11 that ostensibly paved the way for the Bush administration to craft the USA PATRIOT Act, which was signed into law by congress on October 26, 2001. That legislation broadened law enforcement powers well beyond the rights granted to Americans by the U.S. Constitution. While many of the provisions contained in the PATRIOT Act were scheduled to end on December 31, 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a reauthorization bill containing numerous changes in July 2005, and the House of Representatives submitted a bill that kept most of the original bill intact. The largely unchanged bill passed congressional vote on March 2, 2006 and was signed into law by George W. Bush.Although the PATRIOT Act has gone through various subsequent incarnations, congress crafted and Obama signed a four-year extension last May, extending certain key provisions that particularly focused on businesses in the U.S. It is important to note that the manner and methods in which the U.S. government interprets and carries out the provisions of the PATRIOT Act are classified and kept secret from the American public, an issue rarely addressed by politicians or pundits. Why the secrecy?
Continuity of agenda
One must also question the obvious continuity of agenda from the Bush administration to the Obama administration, and from the congress seated in 2001 through today. Despite pro-Constitutional campaign rhetoric from both Republicans and Democrats, and the rapid acquiescence of some TEA party candidates who now occupy seats of power, it is obvious that the rights of Americans granted by the very Constitution elected officials swore to uphold are under attack. Why the change? As one looks at the larger picture, pieces of the puzzle seems to become more recognizable.
The move toward globalism
Once thought to be the fanciful designs of the conspiracy minded, there appears to be an acceleration toward one world governance, or the infamous New World Order.It is an agenda that has been in place for decades, yet the politically myopic and the agent facilitators deliberately avoid any discussion of its existence. Exposure of this agenda has been hobbled by the merger of major news organizations into a half-dozen corporations who control what is reported. Even many who present themselves as purveyors of the truth decline to discuss the globalist agenda, or are held hostage by big money contracts with editorial stipulations and controls.While the attacks of 9/11 paved the way for passage of the PATRIOT Act, what could explain the draconian legislation contained in the NDAA of 2012? Looking through the prism of current events, those with intellectual honesty can readily see events unfolding that would create conditions to necessitate its implementation.
Controlled economic collapse
Who could have predicted the economic crisis of 2008, just two months before the U.S. presidential election? Nearly everyone who was aware of the agenda of the global elite. The economic crisis of 2008, an incident which the banking elite used the specter of martial law to fund their global operations, landed a financial sucker punch on every American with the approval of congress. Using such phrases as too big to fail,banking giants, facilitated by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury and members of congress knowingly and deliberately defrauded the American public out of trillions of dollars, much of which remains unaccounted for despite dubious internal financial audit reports.While the corporate media remain lapdogs for the banking and global elite and report recovery on the horizon, the real story has yet to be told by our media and elected officials. There is a controlled demolition of not only our national economy, but the entire world economy. Look at the financial death throes of the European Union, which cannot survive, despite the best fiction from cable news economists to hired to hide the truth from the masses. The consequential social upheaval will not be contained to Europe, nor will the economic apocalypse. Due to the Ponzi scheme created by the globalist bankers and government leaders from the Goldman-Sachs bloodline, Americans will find themselves in financial turmoil unseen in modern history.Perhaps it is for those who cannot seem to take their eyes of the shiny objects, or those who camp out at big box stores for bargains on the latest and greatest electronic gadgets that the NDAA was crafted.Note: For detailed discussion on the signing of the NDAA, tune in to the new Hagmann & Hagmann Report, broadcast live in audio and video format weeknights from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. ET on the Liberty Broadcasting Network.

Dr. Laurie Roth as President will defend all stages of life By LAURIE ROTH(PRES CANDIDATE), on December 31st, 2011
Life is unique, authored by God and to be protected at all stages by the US President. I have written in my articles about the importance of life at all stages many times over the years and have shouted out about this on my radio show. I feel it is time to go even deeper for my readers and the country to know just who Laurie Roth is and what I will do out of conviction if elected President. I don’t plan to play word games.First of all, as President my role will be to defend, as the Declaration of Independence states so clearly, the right to life of ALL people I represent. It is a known scientific fact that life is established and starts growing when the egg is fertilized in the womb. It is not a head of lettuce in the womb but a baby growing. Quickly, in the first few months, the shape of a baby emerges. As it is now, most abortions occur between the 2nd and 4th month. Only God knows in truth how many babies have been literally murdered in the name of choice or Government not controlling my body.We have annihilated at least 40 million babies if not more. That is evil and most shameful.I have been called anti choice many times by abortion supporters over the years. I always have said that I am pro choice. Making a choice for life and doing the right thing is also a choice, a better and moral choice, it is not anti choice.President Obama is the most abortion pushing and supporting President we have ever had. His entire voting record before his election was supportive of Abortion, including Infanticide, not even wanting the baby who survived an abortion attempt to get any medical attention. He voted to just let the baby sit there on the cold table and die.He has made sure in the Obama health care bill, being disputed at the Supreme Court, that paid abortions are also written into this monstrosity.One of the first things Obama did once elected President was to reverse the Mexico City Policy started by Reagan and implemented by Bush. Now we get to support and pay for abortions worldwide.
I intend to answer some questions up front so everyone will know where I stand and what I will do on this critical issue if elected as President.First of all, since scientifically we have established where life actually begins, at fertilization and that the right to life is any person’s right at any age, then my first job is to defend that life and I will. I will stop all federal funding of abortion clinics and aggressively move to shut all abortion clinics down.Gregg Jackson, author of We won’t get fooled again has posted an article at www.greggjackson.com asking key questions for Presidential Candidates to answer. I agree with all his positions in this article. It is high time for the games to stop regarding the protection of life.When does human life begin? At fertilization of the egg.Are pre-born babies persons? Yes, made in the image of God.Does the 14th Amendment apply to pre-born babies? Yes. Since pre born persons are alive they are entitled to the same due process of law and equal protection under the laws’ as all other innocent human persons. It doesn’t matter their size.With all that established, lets go to the ‘mother load’ question’ Gregg Jackson asked that will make 99% of all Presidential candidates run for cover.
Just what will Outsider, Laurie Roth do about abortions going on everywhere? I believe according to the 5th and 14th Amendment, Declaration of Independence and the Holy Bible which defines life, that all abortions state and federal must be stopped.My first move once elected would be to stop the hemorrhaging of the patient. I would call on the states to enforce the 14th amendment and end all abortions in their states.I believe this is not a States Rights issue but is beyond that. It will be my obligation as President to protect all life in the country.The argument isn’t about going back to the 50s and dangerous, private abortion attempts. It is a crime and must be stopped. There are plenty of options for pregnant women to get care and adopt out an unwanted baby. In fact, I would make sure, as the abortion clinics were shut down that many options were supported, funded and available for pregnant women.If the States failed to close the abortion clinics down I would give an executive order closing down all abortion clinics and support the prosecution of all who continue this practice.Finally, regarding this battle I agree with author Greg Jackson’s opinion that the President must stand first with the law of the land, our constitution, declaration and Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.Regardless of what various courts would rule, even the Supreme Court, my obligation as a President would be to lead, not be intimidated into immoral submission by a faulty court ruling.Real leaders in our history with a moral core have ignored unconstitutional rulings, such as Adams and Lincoln. It is time for real leadership on this issue by a President who will support and protect life at all stages.Join me and speak your mind at www.rothrevolution.ning.com and listen into my show at: www.therothshow.com Find out how you can support my candidacy and sign up to volunteer at: www.laurieroth2012.com
A Conservative Voter’s Scorecard
- Daren Jonescu Monday, January 2, 2012 CAN FREE PRESS
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/43620
The Republican Party has finally arrived at the moment when all the Establishment’s efforts to rig the nominating process in favor of business as usual—in favor of itself—must take a back seat to actual human beings, the voters, who at last get to have their say. And, much to the chagrin of the powers that be, the period during which the voices of voting citizens can make their own case for or against the status quo lasts much longer than the manipulators would have one believe.Iowa is not decisive. New Hampshire is not decisive. None of the early states will be decisive. History shows that all sorts of things can happen after the first two, four, or even ten states, to turn a supposed tide around. (See examples here.)In order for American conservatives—by whom I mean those who regard the U.S. Constitution not as a quaint but antiquated historical document, but rather as a peak in the history of man’s effort to define human freedom in practical terms—to make the best decision for the future of their country, they must make every effort to cut through the haze of hyperbole from the various sub-camps that collectively comprise today’s Washington Establishment.Up to this point, it was perhaps natural to focus on the negative, i.e. to take on the Establishment’s template directly, and to debunk it. But rational criticism, valuable as it is in the face of the mass manipulations of a power-lustful cadre of moneyed interests and their intellectual lapdogs, is never enough. It is not enough to know that something is wrong, or even to know why it is wrong. One must have a clear and forward-looking sense of what is right, and how to achieve it.
With this fact in mind, I humbly offer the following checklist for use by Americans making one of the most important decisions of their political lives. Think of it as a tool for weighing the candidates against one another, or a conservative’s wish list against which real and flawed humans can be judged. For each issue, think about which candidates, in your opinion, measure up to the challenge that the issue presents, in a manner worthy of the gravity of this moment in history. Weigh the issues themselves according to your own priorities, assign points, whatever you like. But consider that none of these issues can be ignored by a voter looking for a candidate who is to have any chance of leading America out of its present existential crisis, and onto a path that just might, with luck and tremendous diligence, avert a final collapse.
1. Does the candidate (hereafter C) understand the seriousness of America’s financial crisis? All Republicans say that spending is out of control, and that taxes are too high. What is needed, however, is someone who is not merely rehashing the party platform of the past hundred years, but who actually speaks to the extraordinary urgency of the current situation; who understands, and is willing to say without qualification, that the coffers are empty, not just today, but for the foreseeable future, and that massive and painful spending cuts, undertaken immediately—and beginning with no budgetary sacred cows—are the only way to stave off a societal catastrophe that would make Greece look like Shangri-La.
2. Does C understand the significant national security threat entailed in allowing an ever-growing, irredeemable debt to be parceled out to Chinese dictators, thus giving said dictators extraordinary leverage in any potential diplomatic dispute (e.g. Taiwan), not to mention interest payments that are, in effect, support payments to the Chinese government and military?
3. Does C have a proven track record of standing up against ruinous fiscal policy, against the U.S. Treasury Department, and, of equal importance in the present climate, against a Republican Establishment which endlessly proves itself unwilling to resist the siren song of cronyism and deficit-laden power-brokering? Or does C display the forked tongue of a conservatism of convenience which is trotted out occasionally to impress the base, only to be buried in the bottom drawer once behind closed doors? That is to say, do you think of C as someone who, rhetoric aside, is prone to vote with today’s party brass, or against it, on major economic policy questions?
4. Does C understand what the Obamacare debate is really about? Every candidate claims to want to repeal the health care law. The question is, why? Obamacare is not just bad policy. It is a pivotal event in the history of the United States—the turn of the ratchet whereby, once and for all, the American principle of individual liberty will be put to bed. If government-run health care is allowed to proceed, the matter of individual rights will no longer even be on the table in future legislative debates. As I have explained in detail here, the principle at stake is much greater than a question of how to provide the best or most affordable health care; even the individual mandate is relatively small potatoes. The question is, Do Americans have a constitutionally protected right to life? If the government determines how, when, and under what conditions, your body will be preserved, then you belong to the state, pure and simple.A candidate who does not grasp how fundamental an issue this is, cannot possibly lead the charge to destroy Obamacare on the necessary moral and constitutional grounds. So I restate the question: Does C understand that the Obamacare debate is, at its heart, an individual rights issue? Or has C shown a lack of basic understanding of the principle involved, perhaps even supporting one or another aspect of government-run health care over the years, on the usual grounds that it creates greater efficiency, solves a health care problem, etc?
5. Where does C stand on anthropogenic global climate change? The time when one could be forgiven on this issue on grounds of insufficient information is long past. Given what is widely known—and has been for years (An Inconvenient Truth was being thoroughly debunked in 2006)—about the science, the history, the advocates, and the advocates’ purposes and proposals on this issue, any public figure who, when asked about it, jumps on the globalist bandwagon (or sofa), or puts on the elevated, pinched tone of the obfuscating agnostic, is not a constitutional conservative.
6. Does C have a sufficient grasp of the international threat of Islamic radicalism? Does C understand that this is not just an Israel issue, but rather that global jihad, which is not restricted to al-Qaeda, is a broader mindset gaining a foothold in many European and African nations? Does C acknowledge the reality of this spreading threat, and its ancient cultural roots? Or does C believe that the Islamists are exclusively mad at America, because America has been mean to them, and has supported Israel?
7. Does C believe that America, warts, missteps and all, has essentially been the good guy in global developments? Or does C agree with jihadists, European intellectuals, and the American Left that America has long been an imperialist bully, and thus the cause of most of its own national security problems?
8. Does C believe that dictators, theocratic and otherwise, rule their nations illegitimately, and therefore that U.S policy towards those governments should be determined by a consideration of the best interests of the U.S., rather than by respect for the dictators’ sovereignty? Or does C believe that dictators and theocratic oppressors can be defended against American opposition on grounds of being the leaders of sovereign states, and thus righteous in their objection to U.S. intervention?
9. Does C believe that U.S. foreign policy should be determined entirely according to a sensible, realistic consideration of long-term American interests? Or is C prone to grand design dreaming about democracy projects and the like, which are inevitably subject to endless local cultural factors beyond America’s capacity to comprehend or control? In other words, does C understand that the freedom to vote, in many parts of the world, will often mean little more than the freedom to choose one’s favorite strongman to wipe out the opposing factions? Or does C harbor anti-conservative fantasies of a human nature that requires no preparation for the full enjoyment of liberty—as though the American Founding was an accident that took place in a historical vacuum, and that could have happened anywhere?
10. Does C appear, to your heart and mind, to be a person of sincere principle, or a panderer? Does C sometimes frustrate you with rhetoric seemingly designed to win over a particular audience, to appeal to young voters, independent voters, religious voters, Occupy Wall Street voters, and so on? Does C appear to put a finger in the wind on too many issues, before coming out with a position one way or the other? Does C have a history of changing positions at convenient career moments, or of taking inconsistent positions on the same issue, when speaking to different audiences? Has C embraced, or sidled up to, positions, factions, or individuals in the recent past, which he/she might hope conservatives won’t ask about? (Consider how the most successful Republican presidential candidate of the modern era stacks up on this issue, and then consider its importance in choosing a nominee.)
11. Does C view Morality as primarily a Liberty issue, or, by contrast, does C view Liberty as primarily a Moral issue? The former view is libertarian at its heart, and appeals to people precisely by promising not to judge them—which is part of the reason that libertarianism is attractive to young people, entertainers, anarchists, and so on. The latter view, more in line with that of the Founders, is grounded in natural rights theory, which in turn is derived from a philosophical belief in a natural order, in which human life, defined by its god-like faculty, reason, has a particular dignity among the creatures of the earth.If C gives priority to the liberty of morality, then C is giving away the argument most needed at this time, which is the moral case for rejecting socialism and returning to a constitutionally limited government.If C gives priority to the morality of liberty, then C is in the best position to be a clear voice for the rejection of the nihilism, relativism, and infantilism of the culture, which, though perhaps an almost impossible task, is nevertheless the inescapable precursor to any meaningful long-term shift back in the direction of constitutional republicanism. Such a shift cannot be achieved as a trend or fad, which can just as easily be discarded when it becomes inconvenient or painful. It must be the product of a deeper movement of the moral tectonic plates in support of a new (or, rather, renewed) ethic of individualism, self-reliance, and mature adulthood. The most effective constitutional conservatism is one which can provide this moral leadership, not through white papers or a narrowly defined social conservatism,but by making the constitutional case for smaller government on moral grounds.
12. If C has an American Conservative Union lifetime rating, what is it? If C does not have a rating (i.e. has not served in Congress), what rating do you think might be indicated by C’s record, as far as you know it? The ACU rating system is not fool-proof, of course; and the ACU decision-makers are human beings with their own biases and blindnesses, like the rest of us. However, if one is trying to make the best possible choice, any reasonable source of information or opinion is worth taking into consideration.
13. Where does the Republican Party Establishment stand on C? Given that the RPE is as culpable as any other force in American society for the bleak present and bleaker future the nation is looking at, it cannot be stressed emphatically enough that anyone being hyped, justified, or subtly coddled by prominent voices within that Establishment should be looked at with extreme skepticism, at best. Prevailing forces do not seek out the means of their own undoing—they seek their own preservation, like everything else. But the RPE is precisely what constitutionalism must be bent on unraveling, as a necessary precondition for unraveling a whole lot of other things.Is C a favorite of some or all of the Party elite? Big negative points for a yes on this one. Or, on the other hand, is the RPE doing everything in its power to silence and bury C’s candidacy? If the answer to this question is affirmative, then a voter ought to be asking why. Since the answer will almost certainly be some variation on the self-preservation argument, this is the kind of candidate one should be paying most attention to with regard to questions 1 through 12, above. For it is from among these Establishment-threatening souls that one ought to be choosing the Republican nominee.There are other issues to consider, of course, but the foregoing list of questions is meant to encompass the widest possible range of the key concerns of anyone hoping that the United States can survive, and thrive, as the high-water mark in the history of human freedom that it once was.
Obama Announces he can imprison anyone he chooses…IF he chooses to do so - Sher Zieve Monday, January 2, 2012 BAN FREE PRESS
Today’s column will be short and to the point. It has finally arrived, folks. I’d hoped I was wrong about it but, tragically and chillingly I was not. Obama has just announced—in his own words—that he can detain (imprison) anyone he wants with the new unconstitutional NDAA bill passed by Congress and signed by the now self-proclaimed Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama. Note: As usual, the Marxist-media doesn’t care and is, instead, jubilant that Dear Leader Obama has finally done away with that pesky Constitution.In a statement published 31 December on his White House site, Mr. Obama states: Today I have signed into law H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.He goes on in the statement: I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.Note: Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) advised in the below YouTube video that the White House and Barack Obama DEMANDED the removal of any and all protections for US citizens and legal residents. So, the collaborative Congress gave him the dictatorial powers he has wanted since he usurped the Office of POTUS.
The now formal Dictator of the USA Obama also disingenuously stated: Section 1021 affirms the executive branch’s authority to detain persons covered by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section breaks no new ground [yes, it does] and is unnecessary. The authority it describes was included in the 2001 AUMF, as recognized by the Supreme Court and confirmed through lower court decisions since then.Two critical limitations in section 1021 confirm that it solely codifies established authorities. First, under section 1021(d), the bill does not limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.Second, under section 1021(e), the bill may not be construed to affect any existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.Note: But, it does.My Administration strongly supported the inclusion of these limitations in order to make clear beyond doubt that the legislation does nothing more than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as lawful under the 2001 AUMF.Note: No, it did not. In fact, per Democrat Senator Carl Levin, just the opposite occurred—as Obama demanded protections for US citizens and legal residents be removed before he would sign the bill! Obama continues with: Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.Translation: I may choose to be a beneficent dictator, if I wish to do so.
Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values [they are not ’traditions and values’ they are US law] as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.” Note: This is another abject ObamaLie. The new revised NDAA bill, which Obama demanded, effectively renders the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights—and the US Constitution, itself—null and void.
We have now reached the end of the road as a free country. As never before, only two choices now remain We-the-People:If we refuse to rise up and fight, we’ll be forced to lie down and die.And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable—Isaiah 3:5-Statement by the President on H.R. 1540:Proof Obama Will Sign NDAA 1031 Citizen Indefinite Detention Law in a Few Days and that the removal of protection for US citizens and legal residents was DEMANDED by the White House:

A New Year’s Mayan Calendar: Background & Prophetic Elements - Kelly OConnell Sunday, January 1, 2012
Given 2011 has officially ended, and we’ve entered into 2012 of the Gregorian calendar, many folks are hand-wringing over this as the end of the age, or that the Apocalypse is finally at hand. This is because the Mayan Calendar says so! Or does it? This article examines the theory that the Mayans foresaw the end of the world, as currently described by hundreds of new books, many of them available on Amazon.com. Yet, before anyone goes out and gives away all their belongings, and locks themselves in a reinforced root cellar—don’t forget we just experienced another end of the world hoax. Self-educated pastor and mortician-like heretic Harold Camping’s cult declared the world over twice in the last 12 months! More pointedly, one of the world’s great experts on the ancient Maya and their calendar, David Stuart, claims modern descriptions of the Mayan Apocalypse is just another load of prophetic rubbish. This is the topic of the present essay, which will hopefully help the sophisticated reader to decide the issue themselves (in between ringing in the New Year!).
I. History of the Mayans
The Mesoamerican Mayans (approx 1,800 B.C.—1,000 A.D.), created an incredible culture located in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Using borrowed inventions, Mayans were builders and stargazers, as well as superb farmers. They cleared large tracts of forests and made underground tanks to store rainwater for cultivation, and all without metal implements. The Maya constructed elaborate and picturesque ceremonial architecture, such as temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories. They also constructed extensive trails throughout their kingdom, helping encourage trade. One website describes their history:Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early 16th century.Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.
II. Mayan Religion
The Mayan religious worldview was typically pagan, featuring a pantheon of many gods and goddesses. Much still remains mysterious of Maya religious traditions, but they conceived the cosmos composed of three major planes—an underworld, the sky, and the earth. One of the most dramatic aspects of Mayan rites was the practice of human sacrifice, incorporating both adult and child victims, the latter in view of their purity.An overview of Mayan religion is described here:The Maya underworld is reached through caves and ball courts. It was thought to be dominated by the aged Maya gods of death and putrefaction. The Sun and Itzamna, both aged gods, dominated the Maya idea of the sky. The night sky was considered a window showing all supernatural doings. The Maya configured constellations of gods and places, saw the unfolding of narratives in their seasonal movements, and believed that the intersection of all possible worlds was in the night sky.There is a massive array of supernatural characters in the Maya religious tradition. Good and evil traits are not permanent characteristics of Maya gods, nor is only good admirable. What is inappropriate during one season might come to pass in another since much of the Maya religious tradition is based on cycles, not permanence.The life-cycle of maize lies at the heart of Maya belief. This philosophy is demonstrated on the Maya belief in the Maize God as a central religious figure. The Maya bodily ideal is also based on the form of the young Maize God, which is demonstrated in their artwork. The Maize God was also a model of courtly life for the Classical Maya.Regarding human sacrifices (which the related culture Aztecs also practiced), the book Gods and Goddesses: A Treasury of Deities and Tales From World Mythology (Edit by Dr Miriam Hallam) describes this:Tlaloc, a pre-Aztec rain god with a close affinity to the Mayan god Chac, was one of the most powerful gods in the Aztec pantheon. He could bring water to make the corn grow. His benevolence was of utmost importance, and at the end of the dry season many small children were ritually sacrificed on mountain top altars to ensure that a season of plenty would follow.Itzamna was a sun god, and lord of the east and west, and of day and night. He was founder of the Mayan capital and brought maize and cocoa to mankind, established religious ceremonies and rituals, and divided out the land. He was the most revered and benevolent, god of the Maya pantheon. Although Itzamna was benevolent, at Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan peninsula, human sacrifices were regularly made to the gigantic statue of a crocodile, thought to represent him. This was done to ensure that he did not turn against the people he had greatly benefited.
III. Mayan Calendar
Pictures of the unique and unforgettable Mayan Calendar—designed round with the central motif of a man’s head, mouth open, inside a wheel of separate figures—have made it famous (depicted here). According to researchers at the U of Delaware, the Mayan Calendar is based upon two main elements—a 365-day year intersected by an independent 260-day ritual-cycle based itself upon thirteen 20-day mini-cycles. The purpose of the 260-day cycle was to keep track of specific religious days. Whereas, the 365 day vague year plotted the solar year, as does the modern use of the Gregorian Calendar.The two separate measurements of time were then set up as wheels and run as cogs against one another like clockwork pieces (pictured here). When these two wheels run continuously against one another, it takes 52 years for them to come back exactly to the starting position. This so-called short cycle is known as the Calendar Round. Here, a combination of a day and month position will repeat every 52 years. Also, a longer cycle was their 73-year sacred year cycle.
A. Predictions of the Calendar
Many persons writing modern books upon the Mayan Prophecies have come to the conclusion they augur the end of the world. One such specific prophecy being relayed is that 2012 is zero hour and that the Mayan Calendar predicts that a year after December 21, 2011 the world will suffer an apocalypse. In fact, most books on the Mayan Calendar claim it predicts apocalyptic events—because, of course, predictions of disaster sell books.
B. Itzá Prophecy
The Itza Prophecy is a notable precursor to the hopes or fears of a modern belief in Mayan fortune-telling. David Stuart—one of the world’s greatest authorities on the ancient Mayans—in The Order of Days: The Maya World and the Truth About 2012, describes the so-called Itzá Prophecy:Itzá were a Mayan-speaking people who occupied a large, remote region in what is now northern Guatemala. The story of their eventual conquest in 1697 is a remarkable tale, a barely known episode of American history. What is most striking about it is that during the decades leading up to their fall, the Itzá Maya had prophesied their own end. Numerous written accounts tell us how King Kanek’ had a strong sense of his inevitable defeat, when, according to the sacred prophecies, a new era of the Maya calendar called a k’atun would begin. Yet, native prophecy played as much a role in the defeat of the Itzá as the political machinations of the time, or as did the superior weaponry and numbers of the Spanish soldiers. For the Itzá, the year 1679 was the inevitable end of an era, a foretold turning point when time would fold and repeat itself, and political change and transformation were utterly unavoidable. In a fascinating twist on how we usually look on the course of history, native prophecy made the Itzá look upon their conquest and conversion to Christianity as a foregone conclusion.
C. Mayan End of Ages
Many authors have predicted not just a new age, but even total destruction for the earth in 2012. Here is a typical statement, from John Major Jenkin’s book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date:While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya Calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded Mayan galactic cosmology. Mayans discovered the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution. These alignments also define a series of World Ages. The fourth age ends on Dec. 21, 2012, when an epoch chapter in human history will come to an end. Maya Cosmogenisis 2012 reveals Mayan insight into the cyclic nature of time, and prepares us for our own cosmogenesis—the birth of a new world.The problem with using the Mayan dates for the end of the world is that these people did not see their universe in a similar manner as modern folks do, according to Stuart. This is especially true regarding Mayan creation and destruction cycles. Writes Stuart,The Mayan worldview saw the universe as an evolving and developing system, punctuated by episodes of destruction and reformulation as it lurched toward the historical present. Over vast time periods, the gods performed multiple experiments with the creation of people until they got it right. I find it interesting that in very general terms, Mesoamerican myths describe the process of Creation as a series of starts, destructions, and restart. This recurrence of creation & destruction fits well with the idea that the present world may not have a well-defined ending.But Stuart insists the entire idea that the Mayans in their calendar prophesied a 2011-12 end of the world is superstitious drivel:Many of the books on 2012 have evocative, even alarming titles. According to these strange-sounding books and TV shows—and none of them is ever consistent in its message—the ancient Maya, having some keen insight into the mystical workings of our planet and the cosmos, were able to predict that the world would end or in some way be radically transformed in the year 2012—on the winter solstice December 21, to be exact (although, again, some sources differ on the precise day).
This is all complete nonsense. As someone who has studied the Maya for nearly all of his life, and who specializes in reading their ancient texts in order to understand their history, religion, and culture, I have to lay down the line and assert that any such statements about the Maya predicting the world’s demise or, alternatively, some transformation of consciousness in 2012 is, to put it as simply and directly as possible, wrong. Not only wrong, but misleading.
IV. Pagan Calendar Chaos—Apocalypse Now?
Is it possible we are at the end of the age, whether pagan or Christian—such as foretold as the biblical Apocalypse? If so, then how would ancient pagans be able to foretell this better than biblical prophets? Further, why would Christ say Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.(Matt 24:35-36) Yet many remain convinced that, in a general pagan revelation, all religions and prophecies are now leading to the end of the age on December 21st, 2012.But only time will tell.

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.

New Year speeches voice fears on future of Europe
Today JAN 2,12 @ 18:08 By Andrew Rettman
BRUSSELS - EU leaders have said in their festive messages the single currency is still at risk unless they take decisive action.For her part, German Chancellor Angela Merkel noted that the danger coincides with the 10th birthday of the now-familiar red, blue and brown banknotes with their little motifs of EU maps and Romanesque or Gothic windows.In a few hours it will be exactly 10 years since many of us at just around midnight withdrew our first euros from a bank machine. Since then, the euro has made our lives easier and our economy stronger,she said on national TV on 31 December.She linked the fate of the currency to the fate of the Union itself.We must never forget that the peaceful unification of our continent is a historic gift. It has given us over half a century of peace, freedom, justice, human rights and democracy ... You can rest assured that I will do everything I can to strengthen the euro. But this will only succeed if Europe draws lessons from past mistakes. One is that a common currency can only be truly successful if we work together more than ever in Europe.Her lesson on working together comes ahead of intergovernmental negotiations on a new treaty that will transform the Union into an economic federation with one central authority deciding how member states spend their money. A working group comprising of diplomats and parliamentary observers is set to resume talks on Friday (6 December).French President Nicolas Sarkozy used more alarming language.
This extraordinary crisis, without doubt the most serious one since World War II, this crisis is not over ... To get out of it, to construct a new model of growth, to give birth to a new Europe - these are just some of the challenges which await us,he said.The theme was repeated all around the continent.Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos said he will fight not to change the crisis into an irregular, catastrophic collapse, to remain in the euro.Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga urged fortitude no matter how radical the scenario which occurs.Estonian President Toomas Ilves warned: We have no idea whether Europe, coveted by us for so long, will bring us salvation or vexation.Leaders warned there will be more spending cuts, more taxes, less welfare and a growing threat to liberal values.The fat years are behind us. We must prepare ourselves for some lean years,Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt, who took over the rotating EU presidency on 1 January, said.Amid a rise in far-right movements in several EU countries, she noted that the Denmark we love is a country for the many and not for the few. It is a country based on diversity.Merkel also devoted a large part of her speech to condemning a neo-Nazi fraternity exposed in December for having murdered nine people of Turkish and Greek origin in recent years. It is our duty to defend the values of our open and free society,she said.The New Year's messages voiced optimism the euro will pull through. But the villains of the crisis - bankers and profligate former leaders - got bloody noses despite the festive season.Italian President Giorgio Napolitano described ex-prime-minister Silvio Berlusconi's legacy as one of corruption and parasitism, of widespread lawlessness and even criminal pollution ... [of] massive and unjustifiable tax evasion.Sarkozy told bankers they will be made to repair the damage they have done ... It's a question of justice. It's a question of morality. A tax on financial transactions must be put into force.And even British leader David Cameron - who just three weeks ago shocked the Union by vetoing an EU Treaty change in the name of protecting London's financial markets - fell in with the popular mood.
While a few at the top get rewards that seem to have nothing to do with the risks they take or the effort they put in, many others are stuck on benefits, without hope or responsibility. So we will tackle excess in the City just as we're reforming welfare to make work pay and to support families,he said.
The coming war inside America January 2, 2012 By Director By Douglas J. Hagmann
As the attention of most Americans was captivated by the shiny object in Times Square this weekend like infants fixated on car keys dangled in front of them, Barack Hussein Obama signed into law H.R. 1540, better known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Regardless of any concurrent executive signing statements that are mere window dressing and not legally binding, Obama and every member of congress who crafted and voted for this act has essentially declared war on American citizens on U.S. soil.To quote Rush Limbaugh, words mean things.As a career investigator, I can assure you that words contained in local, state and federal laws most certainly mean things, and provide the legal authority for conduct sanctioned by national or state authorities without regard to any promised judicial or prosecutorial discretion that could be likened to the signing statement. The NDAA now codifies the most controversial aspects of the Patriot Act, which candidate Obama publicly opposed. What changed?
Greasing the slope
Any person of reasonable sensibilities should be raising a multitude of questions upon considering the current and historical conduct of the executive and legislative branches of our government. It was the attack on 9/11 that ostensibly paved the way for the Bush administration to craft the USA PATRIOT Act, which was signed into law by congress on October 26, 2001. That legislation broadened law enforcement powers well beyond the rights granted to Americans by the U.S. Constitution. While many of the provisions contained in the PATRIOT Act were scheduled to end on December 31, 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a reauthorization bill containing numerous changes in July 2005, and the House of Representatives submitted a bill that kept most of the original bill intact. The largely unchanged bill passed congressional vote on March 2, 2006 and was signed into law by George W. Bush.Although the PATRIOT Act has gone through various subsequent incarnations, congress crafted and Obama signed a four-year extension last May, extending certain key provisions that particularly focused on businesses in the U.S. It is important to note that the manner and methods in which the U.S. government interprets and carries out the provisions of the PATRIOT Act are classified and kept secret from the American public, an issue rarely addressed by politicians or pundits. Why the secrecy?
Continuity of agenda
One must also question the obvious continuity of agenda from the Bush administration to the Obama administration, and from the congress seated in 2001 through today. Despite pro-Constitutional campaign rhetoric from both Republicans and Democrats, and the rapid acquiescence of some TEA party candidates who now occupy seats of power, it is obvious that the rights of Americans granted by the very Constitution elected officials swore to uphold are under attack. Why the change? As one looks at the larger picture, pieces of the puzzle seems to become more recognizable.
The move toward globalism
Once thought to be the fanciful designs of the conspiracy minded, there appears to be an acceleration toward one world governance, or the infamous New World Order.It is an agenda that has been in place for decades, yet the politically myopic and the agent facilitators deliberately avoid any discussion of its existence. Exposure of this agenda has been hobbled by the merger of major news organizations into a half-dozen corporations who control what is reported. Even many who present themselves as purveyors of the truth decline to discuss the globalist agenda, or are held hostage by big money contracts with editorial stipulations and controls.While the attacks of 9/11 paved the way for passage of the PATRIOT Act, what could explain the draconian legislation contained in the NDAA of 2012? Looking through the prism of current events, those with intellectual honesty can readily see events unfolding that would create conditions to necessitate its implementation.
Controlled economic collapse
Who could have predicted the economic crisis of 2008, just two months before the U.S. presidential election? Nearly everyone who was aware of the agenda of the global elite. The economic crisis of 2008, an incident which the banking elite used the specter of martial law to fund their global operations, landed a financial sucker punch on every American with the approval of congress. Using such phrases as too big to fail,banking giants, facilitated by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury and members of congress knowingly and deliberately defrauded the American public out of trillions of dollars, much of which remains unaccounted for despite dubious internal financial audit reports.While the corporate media remain lapdogs for the banking and global elite and report recovery on the horizon, the real story has yet to be told by our media and elected officials. There is a controlled demolition of not only our national economy, but the entire world economy. Look at the financial death throes of the European Union, which cannot survive, despite the best fiction from cable news economists to hired to hide the truth from the masses. The consequential social upheaval will not be contained to Europe, nor will the economic apocalypse. Due to the Ponzi scheme created by the globalist bankers and government leaders from the Goldman-Sachs bloodline, Americans will find themselves in financial turmoil unseen in modern history.Perhaps it is for those who cannot seem to take their eyes of the shiny objects, or those who camp out at big box stores for bargains on the latest and greatest electronic gadgets that the NDAA was crafted.Note: For detailed discussion on the signing of the NDAA, tune in to the new Hagmann & Hagmann Report, broadcast live in audio and video format weeknights from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. ET on the Liberty Broadcasting Network.

Dr. Laurie Roth as President will defend all stages of life By LAURIE ROTH(PRES CANDIDATE), on December 31st, 2011
Life is unique, authored by God and to be protected at all stages by the US President. I have written in my articles about the importance of life at all stages many times over the years and have shouted out about this on my radio show. I feel it is time to go even deeper for my readers and the country to know just who Laurie Roth is and what I will do out of conviction if elected President. I don’t plan to play word games.First of all, as President my role will be to defend, as the Declaration of Independence states so clearly, the right to life of ALL people I represent. It is a known scientific fact that life is established and starts growing when the egg is fertilized in the womb. It is not a head of lettuce in the womb but a baby growing. Quickly, in the first few months, the shape of a baby emerges. As it is now, most abortions occur between the 2nd and 4th month. Only God knows in truth how many babies have been literally murdered in the name of choice or Government not controlling my body.We have annihilated at least 40 million babies if not more. That is evil and most shameful.I have been called anti choice many times by abortion supporters over the years. I always have said that I am pro choice. Making a choice for life and doing the right thing is also a choice, a better and moral choice, it is not anti choice.President Obama is the most abortion pushing and supporting President we have ever had. His entire voting record before his election was supportive of Abortion, including Infanticide, not even wanting the baby who survived an abortion attempt to get any medical attention. He voted to just let the baby sit there on the cold table and die.He has made sure in the Obama health care bill, being disputed at the Supreme Court, that paid abortions are also written into this monstrosity.One of the first things Obama did once elected President was to reverse the Mexico City Policy started by Reagan and implemented by Bush. Now we get to support and pay for abortions worldwide.
I intend to answer some questions up front so everyone will know where I stand and what I will do on this critical issue if elected as President.First of all, since scientifically we have established where life actually begins, at fertilization and that the right to life is any person’s right at any age, then my first job is to defend that life and I will. I will stop all federal funding of abortion clinics and aggressively move to shut all abortion clinics down.Gregg Jackson, author of We won’t get fooled again has posted an article at www.greggjackson.com asking key questions for Presidential Candidates to answer. I agree with all his positions in this article. It is high time for the games to stop regarding the protection of life.When does human life begin? At fertilization of the egg.Are pre-born babies persons? Yes, made in the image of God.Does the 14th Amendment apply to pre-born babies? Yes. Since pre born persons are alive they are entitled to the same due process of law and equal protection under the laws’ as all other innocent human persons. It doesn’t matter their size.With all that established, lets go to the ‘mother load’ question’ Gregg Jackson asked that will make 99% of all Presidential candidates run for cover.
Just what will Outsider, Laurie Roth do about abortions going on everywhere? I believe according to the 5th and 14th Amendment, Declaration of Independence and the Holy Bible which defines life, that all abortions state and federal must be stopped.My first move once elected would be to stop the hemorrhaging of the patient. I would call on the states to enforce the 14th amendment and end all abortions in their states.I believe this is not a States Rights issue but is beyond that. It will be my obligation as President to protect all life in the country.The argument isn’t about going back to the 50s and dangerous, private abortion attempts. It is a crime and must be stopped. There are plenty of options for pregnant women to get care and adopt out an unwanted baby. In fact, I would make sure, as the abortion clinics were shut down that many options were supported, funded and available for pregnant women.If the States failed to close the abortion clinics down I would give an executive order closing down all abortion clinics and support the prosecution of all who continue this practice.Finally, regarding this battle I agree with author Greg Jackson’s opinion that the President must stand first with the law of the land, our constitution, declaration and Laws of Nature and Nature’s God.Regardless of what various courts would rule, even the Supreme Court, my obligation as a President would be to lead, not be intimidated into immoral submission by a faulty court ruling.Real leaders in our history with a moral core have ignored unconstitutional rulings, such as Adams and Lincoln. It is time for real leadership on this issue by a President who will support and protect life at all stages.Join me and speak your mind at www.rothrevolution.ning.com and listen into my show at: www.therothshow.com Find out how you can support my candidacy and sign up to volunteer at: www.laurieroth2012.com
A Conservative Voter’s Scorecard
- Daren Jonescu Monday, January 2, 2012 CAN FREE PRESS
http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/43620
The Republican Party has finally arrived at the moment when all the Establishment’s efforts to rig the nominating process in favor of business as usual—in favor of itself—must take a back seat to actual human beings, the voters, who at last get to have their say. And, much to the chagrin of the powers that be, the period during which the voices of voting citizens can make their own case for or against the status quo lasts much longer than the manipulators would have one believe.Iowa is not decisive. New Hampshire is not decisive. None of the early states will be decisive. History shows that all sorts of things can happen after the first two, four, or even ten states, to turn a supposed tide around. (See examples here.)In order for American conservatives—by whom I mean those who regard the U.S. Constitution not as a quaint but antiquated historical document, but rather as a peak in the history of man’s effort to define human freedom in practical terms—to make the best decision for the future of their country, they must make every effort to cut through the haze of hyperbole from the various sub-camps that collectively comprise today’s Washington Establishment.Up to this point, it was perhaps natural to focus on the negative, i.e. to take on the Establishment’s template directly, and to debunk it. But rational criticism, valuable as it is in the face of the mass manipulations of a power-lustful cadre of moneyed interests and their intellectual lapdogs, is never enough. It is not enough to know that something is wrong, or even to know why it is wrong. One must have a clear and forward-looking sense of what is right, and how to achieve it.
With this fact in mind, I humbly offer the following checklist for use by Americans making one of the most important decisions of their political lives. Think of it as a tool for weighing the candidates against one another, or a conservative’s wish list against which real and flawed humans can be judged. For each issue, think about which candidates, in your opinion, measure up to the challenge that the issue presents, in a manner worthy of the gravity of this moment in history. Weigh the issues themselves according to your own priorities, assign points, whatever you like. But consider that none of these issues can be ignored by a voter looking for a candidate who is to have any chance of leading America out of its present existential crisis, and onto a path that just might, with luck and tremendous diligence, avert a final collapse.
1. Does the candidate (hereafter C) understand the seriousness of America’s financial crisis? All Republicans say that spending is out of control, and that taxes are too high. What is needed, however, is someone who is not merely rehashing the party platform of the past hundred years, but who actually speaks to the extraordinary urgency of the current situation; who understands, and is willing to say without qualification, that the coffers are empty, not just today, but for the foreseeable future, and that massive and painful spending cuts, undertaken immediately—and beginning with no budgetary sacred cows—are the only way to stave off a societal catastrophe that would make Greece look like Shangri-La.
2. Does C understand the significant national security threat entailed in allowing an ever-growing, irredeemable debt to be parceled out to Chinese dictators, thus giving said dictators extraordinary leverage in any potential diplomatic dispute (e.g. Taiwan), not to mention interest payments that are, in effect, support payments to the Chinese government and military?
3. Does C have a proven track record of standing up against ruinous fiscal policy, against the U.S. Treasury Department, and, of equal importance in the present climate, against a Republican Establishment which endlessly proves itself unwilling to resist the siren song of cronyism and deficit-laden power-brokering? Or does C display the forked tongue of a conservatism of convenience which is trotted out occasionally to impress the base, only to be buried in the bottom drawer once behind closed doors? That is to say, do you think of C as someone who, rhetoric aside, is prone to vote with today’s party brass, or against it, on major economic policy questions?
4. Does C understand what the Obamacare debate is really about? Every candidate claims to want to repeal the health care law. The question is, why? Obamacare is not just bad policy. It is a pivotal event in the history of the United States—the turn of the ratchet whereby, once and for all, the American principle of individual liberty will be put to bed. If government-run health care is allowed to proceed, the matter of individual rights will no longer even be on the table in future legislative debates. As I have explained in detail here, the principle at stake is much greater than a question of how to provide the best or most affordable health care; even the individual mandate is relatively small potatoes. The question is, Do Americans have a constitutionally protected right to life? If the government determines how, when, and under what conditions, your body will be preserved, then you belong to the state, pure and simple.A candidate who does not grasp how fundamental an issue this is, cannot possibly lead the charge to destroy Obamacare on the necessary moral and constitutional grounds. So I restate the question: Does C understand that the Obamacare debate is, at its heart, an individual rights issue? Or has C shown a lack of basic understanding of the principle involved, perhaps even supporting one or another aspect of government-run health care over the years, on the usual grounds that it creates greater efficiency, solves a health care problem, etc?
5. Where does C stand on anthropogenic global climate change? The time when one could be forgiven on this issue on grounds of insufficient information is long past. Given what is widely known—and has been for years (An Inconvenient Truth was being thoroughly debunked in 2006)—about the science, the history, the advocates, and the advocates’ purposes and proposals on this issue, any public figure who, when asked about it, jumps on the globalist bandwagon (or sofa), or puts on the elevated, pinched tone of the obfuscating agnostic, is not a constitutional conservative.
6. Does C have a sufficient grasp of the international threat of Islamic radicalism? Does C understand that this is not just an Israel issue, but rather that global jihad, which is not restricted to al-Qaeda, is a broader mindset gaining a foothold in many European and African nations? Does C acknowledge the reality of this spreading threat, and its ancient cultural roots? Or does C believe that the Islamists are exclusively mad at America, because America has been mean to them, and has supported Israel?
7. Does C believe that America, warts, missteps and all, has essentially been the good guy in global developments? Or does C agree with jihadists, European intellectuals, and the American Left that America has long been an imperialist bully, and thus the cause of most of its own national security problems?
8. Does C believe that dictators, theocratic and otherwise, rule their nations illegitimately, and therefore that U.S policy towards those governments should be determined by a consideration of the best interests of the U.S., rather than by respect for the dictators’ sovereignty? Or does C believe that dictators and theocratic oppressors can be defended against American opposition on grounds of being the leaders of sovereign states, and thus righteous in their objection to U.S. intervention?
9. Does C believe that U.S. foreign policy should be determined entirely according to a sensible, realistic consideration of long-term American interests? Or is C prone to grand design dreaming about democracy projects and the like, which are inevitably subject to endless local cultural factors beyond America’s capacity to comprehend or control? In other words, does C understand that the freedom to vote, in many parts of the world, will often mean little more than the freedom to choose one’s favorite strongman to wipe out the opposing factions? Or does C harbor anti-conservative fantasies of a human nature that requires no preparation for the full enjoyment of liberty—as though the American Founding was an accident that took place in a historical vacuum, and that could have happened anywhere?
10. Does C appear, to your heart and mind, to be a person of sincere principle, or a panderer? Does C sometimes frustrate you with rhetoric seemingly designed to win over a particular audience, to appeal to young voters, independent voters, religious voters, Occupy Wall Street voters, and so on? Does C appear to put a finger in the wind on too many issues, before coming out with a position one way or the other? Does C have a history of changing positions at convenient career moments, or of taking inconsistent positions on the same issue, when speaking to different audiences? Has C embraced, or sidled up to, positions, factions, or individuals in the recent past, which he/she might hope conservatives won’t ask about? (Consider how the most successful Republican presidential candidate of the modern era stacks up on this issue, and then consider its importance in choosing a nominee.)
11. Does C view Morality as primarily a Liberty issue, or, by contrast, does C view Liberty as primarily a Moral issue? The former view is libertarian at its heart, and appeals to people precisely by promising not to judge them—which is part of the reason that libertarianism is attractive to young people, entertainers, anarchists, and so on. The latter view, more in line with that of the Founders, is grounded in natural rights theory, which in turn is derived from a philosophical belief in a natural order, in which human life, defined by its god-like faculty, reason, has a particular dignity among the creatures of the earth.If C gives priority to the liberty of morality, then C is giving away the argument most needed at this time, which is the moral case for rejecting socialism and returning to a constitutionally limited government.If C gives priority to the morality of liberty, then C is in the best position to be a clear voice for the rejection of the nihilism, relativism, and infantilism of the culture, which, though perhaps an almost impossible task, is nevertheless the inescapable precursor to any meaningful long-term shift back in the direction of constitutional republicanism. Such a shift cannot be achieved as a trend or fad, which can just as easily be discarded when it becomes inconvenient or painful. It must be the product of a deeper movement of the moral tectonic plates in support of a new (or, rather, renewed) ethic of individualism, self-reliance, and mature adulthood. The most effective constitutional conservatism is one which can provide this moral leadership, not through white papers or a narrowly defined social conservatism,but by making the constitutional case for smaller government on moral grounds.
12. If C has an American Conservative Union lifetime rating, what is it? If C does not have a rating (i.e. has not served in Congress), what rating do you think might be indicated by C’s record, as far as you know it? The ACU rating system is not fool-proof, of course; and the ACU decision-makers are human beings with their own biases and blindnesses, like the rest of us. However, if one is trying to make the best possible choice, any reasonable source of information or opinion is worth taking into consideration.
13. Where does the Republican Party Establishment stand on C? Given that the RPE is as culpable as any other force in American society for the bleak present and bleaker future the nation is looking at, it cannot be stressed emphatically enough that anyone being hyped, justified, or subtly coddled by prominent voices within that Establishment should be looked at with extreme skepticism, at best. Prevailing forces do not seek out the means of their own undoing—they seek their own preservation, like everything else. But the RPE is precisely what constitutionalism must be bent on unraveling, as a necessary precondition for unraveling a whole lot of other things.Is C a favorite of some or all of the Party elite? Big negative points for a yes on this one. Or, on the other hand, is the RPE doing everything in its power to silence and bury C’s candidacy? If the answer to this question is affirmative, then a voter ought to be asking why. Since the answer will almost certainly be some variation on the self-preservation argument, this is the kind of candidate one should be paying most attention to with regard to questions 1 through 12, above. For it is from among these Establishment-threatening souls that one ought to be choosing the Republican nominee.There are other issues to consider, of course, but the foregoing list of questions is meant to encompass the widest possible range of the key concerns of anyone hoping that the United States can survive, and thrive, as the high-water mark in the history of human freedom that it once was.
Obama Announces he can imprison anyone he chooses…IF he chooses to do so - Sher Zieve Monday, January 2, 2012 BAN FREE PRESS
Today’s column will be short and to the point. It has finally arrived, folks. I’d hoped I was wrong about it but, tragically and chillingly I was not. Obama has just announced—in his own words—that he can detain (imprison) anyone he wants with the new unconstitutional NDAA bill passed by Congress and signed by the now self-proclaimed Dictator-in-Chief Barack Hussein Obama. Note: As usual, the Marxist-media doesn’t care and is, instead, jubilant that Dear Leader Obama has finally done away with that pesky Constitution.In a statement published 31 December on his White House site, Mr. Obama states: Today I have signed into law H.R. 1540, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.He goes on in the statement: I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.Note: Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) advised in the below YouTube video that the White House and Barack Obama DEMANDED the removal of any and all protections for US citizens and legal residents. So, the collaborative Congress gave him the dictatorial powers he has wanted since he usurped the Office of POTUS.
The now formal Dictator of the USA Obama also disingenuously stated: Section 1021 affirms the executive branch’s authority to detain persons covered by the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) (Public Law 107-40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note). This section breaks no new ground [yes, it does] and is unnecessary. The authority it describes was included in the 2001 AUMF, as recognized by the Supreme Court and confirmed through lower court decisions since then.Two critical limitations in section 1021 confirm that it solely codifies established authorities. First, under section 1021(d), the bill does not limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.Second, under section 1021(e), the bill may not be construed to affect any existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.Note: But, it does.My Administration strongly supported the inclusion of these limitations in order to make clear beyond doubt that the legislation does nothing more than confirm authorities that the Federal courts have recognized as lawful under the 2001 AUMF.Note: No, it did not. In fact, per Democrat Senator Carl Levin, just the opposite occurred—as Obama demanded protections for US citizens and legal residents be removed before he would sign the bill! Obama continues with: Moreover, I want to clarify that my Administration will not authorize the indefinite military detention without trial of American citizens.Translation: I may choose to be a beneficent dictator, if I wish to do so.
Indeed, I believe that doing so would break with our most important traditions and values [they are not ’traditions and values’ they are US law] as a Nation. My Administration will interpret section 1021 in a manner that ensures that any detention it authorizes complies with the Constitution, the laws of war, and all other applicable law.” Note: This is another abject ObamaLie. The new revised NDAA bill, which Obama demanded, effectively renders the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights—and the US Constitution, itself—null and void.
We have now reached the end of the road as a free country. As never before, only two choices now remain We-the-People:If we refuse to rise up and fight, we’ll be forced to lie down and die.And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable—Isaiah 3:5-Statement by the President on H.R. 1540:Proof Obama Will Sign NDAA 1031 Citizen Indefinite Detention Law in a Few Days and that the removal of protection for US citizens and legal residents was DEMANDED by the White House:

A New Year’s Mayan Calendar: Background & Prophetic Elements - Kelly OConnell Sunday, January 1, 2012
Given 2011 has officially ended, and we’ve entered into 2012 of the Gregorian calendar, many folks are hand-wringing over this as the end of the age, or that the Apocalypse is finally at hand. This is because the Mayan Calendar says so! Or does it? This article examines the theory that the Mayans foresaw the end of the world, as currently described by hundreds of new books, many of them available on Amazon.com. Yet, before anyone goes out and gives away all their belongings, and locks themselves in a reinforced root cellar—don’t forget we just experienced another end of the world hoax. Self-educated pastor and mortician-like heretic Harold Camping’s cult declared the world over twice in the last 12 months! More pointedly, one of the world’s great experts on the ancient Maya and their calendar, David Stuart, claims modern descriptions of the Mayan Apocalypse is just another load of prophetic rubbish. This is the topic of the present essay, which will hopefully help the sophisticated reader to decide the issue themselves (in between ringing in the New Year!).
I. History of the Mayans
The Mesoamerican Mayans (approx 1,800 B.C.—1,000 A.D.), created an incredible culture located in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, northern Belize and western Honduras. Using borrowed inventions, Mayans were builders and stargazers, as well as superb farmers. They cleared large tracts of forests and made underground tanks to store rainwater for cultivation, and all without metal implements. The Maya constructed elaborate and picturesque ceremonial architecture, such as temple-pyramids, palaces and observatories. They also constructed extensive trails throughout their kingdom, helping encourage trade. One website describes their history:Around 300 B.C., the Maya adopted a hierarchical system of government with rule by nobles and kings. This civilization developed into highly structured kingdoms during the Classic period, A.D. 200-900. Their society consisted of many independent states, each with a rural farming community and large urban sites built around ceremonial centres. It started to decline around A.D. 900 when - for reasons which are still largely a mystery - the southern Maya abandoned their cities. When the northern Maya were integrated into the Toltec society by A.D. 1200, the Maya dynasty finally came to a close, although some peripheral centres continued to thrive until the Spanish Conquest in the early 16th century.Maya history can be characterized as cycles of rise and fall: city-states rose in prominence and fell into decline, only to be replaced by others. It could also be described as one of continuity and change, guided by a religion that remains the foundation of their culture. For those who follow the ancient Maya traditions, the belief in the influence of the cosmos on human lives and the necessity of paying homage to the gods through rituals continues to find expression in a modern hybrid Christian-Maya faith.
II. Mayan Religion
The Mayan religious worldview was typically pagan, featuring a pantheon of many gods and goddesses. Much still remains mysterious of Maya religious traditions, but they conceived the cosmos composed of three major planes—an underworld, the sky, and the earth. One of the most dramatic aspects of Mayan rites was the practice of human sacrifice, incorporating both adult and child victims, the latter in view of their purity.An overview of Mayan religion is described here:The Maya underworld is reached through caves and ball courts. It was thought to be dominated by the aged Maya gods of death and putrefaction. The Sun and Itzamna, both aged gods, dominated the Maya idea of the sky. The night sky was considered a window showing all supernatural doings. The Maya configured constellations of gods and places, saw the unfolding of narratives in their seasonal movements, and believed that the intersection of all possible worlds was in the night sky.There is a massive array of supernatural characters in the Maya religious tradition. Good and evil traits are not permanent characteristics of Maya gods, nor is only good admirable. What is inappropriate during one season might come to pass in another since much of the Maya religious tradition is based on cycles, not permanence.The life-cycle of maize lies at the heart of Maya belief. This philosophy is demonstrated on the Maya belief in the Maize God as a central religious figure. The Maya bodily ideal is also based on the form of the young Maize God, which is demonstrated in their artwork. The Maize God was also a model of courtly life for the Classical Maya.Regarding human sacrifices (which the related culture Aztecs also practiced), the book Gods and Goddesses: A Treasury of Deities and Tales From World Mythology (Edit by Dr Miriam Hallam) describes this:Tlaloc, a pre-Aztec rain god with a close affinity to the Mayan god Chac, was one of the most powerful gods in the Aztec pantheon. He could bring water to make the corn grow. His benevolence was of utmost importance, and at the end of the dry season many small children were ritually sacrificed on mountain top altars to ensure that a season of plenty would follow.Itzamna was a sun god, and lord of the east and west, and of day and night. He was founder of the Mayan capital and brought maize and cocoa to mankind, established religious ceremonies and rituals, and divided out the land. He was the most revered and benevolent, god of the Maya pantheon. Although Itzamna was benevolent, at Chichen Itza, in the Yucatan peninsula, human sacrifices were regularly made to the gigantic statue of a crocodile, thought to represent him. This was done to ensure that he did not turn against the people he had greatly benefited.
III. Mayan Calendar
Pictures of the unique and unforgettable Mayan Calendar—designed round with the central motif of a man’s head, mouth open, inside a wheel of separate figures—have made it famous (depicted here). According to researchers at the U of Delaware, the Mayan Calendar is based upon two main elements—a 365-day year intersected by an independent 260-day ritual-cycle based itself upon thirteen 20-day mini-cycles. The purpose of the 260-day cycle was to keep track of specific religious days. Whereas, the 365 day vague year plotted the solar year, as does the modern use of the Gregorian Calendar.The two separate measurements of time were then set up as wheels and run as cogs against one another like clockwork pieces (pictured here). When these two wheels run continuously against one another, it takes 52 years for them to come back exactly to the starting position. This so-called short cycle is known as the Calendar Round. Here, a combination of a day and month position will repeat every 52 years. Also, a longer cycle was their 73-year sacred year cycle.
A. Predictions of the Calendar
Many persons writing modern books upon the Mayan Prophecies have come to the conclusion they augur the end of the world. One such specific prophecy being relayed is that 2012 is zero hour and that the Mayan Calendar predicts that a year after December 21, 2011 the world will suffer an apocalypse. In fact, most books on the Mayan Calendar claim it predicts apocalyptic events—because, of course, predictions of disaster sell books.
B. Itzá Prophecy
The Itza Prophecy is a notable precursor to the hopes or fears of a modern belief in Mayan fortune-telling. David Stuart—one of the world’s greatest authorities on the ancient Mayans—in The Order of Days: The Maya World and the Truth About 2012, describes the so-called Itzá Prophecy:Itzá were a Mayan-speaking people who occupied a large, remote region in what is now northern Guatemala. The story of their eventual conquest in 1697 is a remarkable tale, a barely known episode of American history. What is most striking about it is that during the decades leading up to their fall, the Itzá Maya had prophesied their own end. Numerous written accounts tell us how King Kanek’ had a strong sense of his inevitable defeat, when, according to the sacred prophecies, a new era of the Maya calendar called a k’atun would begin. Yet, native prophecy played as much a role in the defeat of the Itzá as the political machinations of the time, or as did the superior weaponry and numbers of the Spanish soldiers. For the Itzá, the year 1679 was the inevitable end of an era, a foretold turning point when time would fold and repeat itself, and political change and transformation were utterly unavoidable. In a fascinating twist on how we usually look on the course of history, native prophecy made the Itzá look upon their conquest and conversion to Christianity as a foregone conclusion.
C. Mayan End of Ages
Many authors have predicted not just a new age, but even total destruction for the earth in 2012. Here is a typical statement, from John Major Jenkin’s book Maya Cosmogenesis 2012: The True Meaning of the Maya Calendar End-Date:While researching the 2012 end-date of the Maya Calendar, John Major Jenkins decoded Mayan galactic cosmology. Mayans discovered the periodic alignment of the Sun with the center of the Milky Way galaxy is the formative influence on human evolution. These alignments also define a series of World Ages. The fourth age ends on Dec. 21, 2012, when an epoch chapter in human history will come to an end. Maya Cosmogenisis 2012 reveals Mayan insight into the cyclic nature of time, and prepares us for our own cosmogenesis—the birth of a new world.The problem with using the Mayan dates for the end of the world is that these people did not see their universe in a similar manner as modern folks do, according to Stuart. This is especially true regarding Mayan creation and destruction cycles. Writes Stuart,The Mayan worldview saw the universe as an evolving and developing system, punctuated by episodes of destruction and reformulation as it lurched toward the historical present. Over vast time periods, the gods performed multiple experiments with the creation of people until they got it right. I find it interesting that in very general terms, Mesoamerican myths describe the process of Creation as a series of starts, destructions, and restart. This recurrence of creation & destruction fits well with the idea that the present world may not have a well-defined ending.But Stuart insists the entire idea that the Mayans in their calendar prophesied a 2011-12 end of the world is superstitious drivel:Many of the books on 2012 have evocative, even alarming titles. According to these strange-sounding books and TV shows—and none of them is ever consistent in its message—the ancient Maya, having some keen insight into the mystical workings of our planet and the cosmos, were able to predict that the world would end or in some way be radically transformed in the year 2012—on the winter solstice December 21, to be exact (although, again, some sources differ on the precise day).
This is all complete nonsense. As someone who has studied the Maya for nearly all of his life, and who specializes in reading their ancient texts in order to understand their history, religion, and culture, I have to lay down the line and assert that any such statements about the Maya predicting the world’s demise or, alternatively, some transformation of consciousness in 2012 is, to put it as simply and directly as possible, wrong. Not only wrong, but misleading.
IV. Pagan Calendar Chaos—Apocalypse Now?
Is it possible we are at the end of the age, whether pagan or Christian—such as foretold as the biblical Apocalypse? If so, then how would ancient pagans be able to foretell this better than biblical prophets? Further, why would Christ say Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.(Matt 24:35-36) Yet many remain convinced that, in a general pagan revelation, all religions and prophecies are now leading to the end of the age on December 21st, 2012.But only time will tell.
