Attacks On Infrastructures Being Downplayed Or Kept A Secret?

 

Two frightening occurrences on American soil have gone largely unreported and outright ignored. The question is why? As in the Boston Marathon bombing, there appears to be a Muslim connection. There was much speculation that there was a Saudi involved in that bombing, but he was apparently exonerated. Was there a cover-up. Even if he were not involved, people can be forgiven for having their suspicions in view of the number of Saudis executing the 9/11 attacks plus a growing lack of trust in this WH, which is clearly "Muslim Friendly". Read more at  Discover The Networks 

Jihad has been declared on the Western World, and that includes America. There is much speculation that the out of control forest fires experienced in the western US was the result of jihad.
"...in spring 2012, al-Qaeda’s English-language online magazine, Inspire, published an article called “It Is of Your Freedom to Ignite a Firebomb,” which featured instructions on how to build an incendiary bomb to light forests on fire. A few months later, Russia’s security (FSB) chief, Aleksandr Bortnikov warned, ”al-Qaeda was complicit in recent forest fires in Europe” as part of the terrorists’ “strategy of a thousand cuts.”source.


The first largely ignored attack was on April 16, 2013. From:  San Jose Area PG&E Metcalf Substation Attacked: $250,000 Reward  Two incidents of “sabotage” happened in the San Jose, California area on April 16, 2013. The PG&E Metcalf substation was entered through manholes. High-powered rifles were used to damage transformers, and a month later a man dressed in black was seen “lurking” near the area. Reward information at end of this article. The attack happened on the day after the Boston Marathon bombings. Perhaps that’s why this story was not noticed by many. ForeignPolicy.com is asking why we are not paying more attention to the physical state and security of our power grids". Read the rest here .

The second was on May 14, 2013. From: Quabbin 7: Reservoir Breach of 412 Billion Gal Water Supply for Boston Goes Unpunished, Undisclosed – Secreted From FOIA 
"On May 14, 2013 seven trespassers (Muslims?) were apprehended in the Quabbin Reservoir in Belchertown, Massachusetts. It was just after midnight. The seven were from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore with residences in Amherst, Cambridge, Northampton and Sunderland, Massachusetts and New York City. The Boston Globe said they were “college-aged,” and recent graduates of the University of Massachusetts and Smith College. Of the seven, five men and two women, only the men claimed to be “chemical engineers.” Some reports say the seven were arrested but it appears they were simply “detained” with court dates set."  Read the entire eye opening post  here.

Our land and infrastructures are ill guarded soft targets.  Ignoring/denying that there is a jihadi threat to these vulnerable sites and areas will not make that threat disappear.  Are "The Powers That Be" just plain stupid, incompetent or, I really hate to say this, in collusion with the enemy.

 

 

Why are 8 Democrats sponsoring a bill to eliminate the death penalty for treason?

by 







Nearly a year ago, on January 2, 2012, eight Democrats in the House introduced a curious piece of legislation – H.R. 3741: Federal Death Penalty Abolition Act of 2013, which seeks to abolish the death penalty under federal law. But the bill has only just been discovered by the media, notably The Hill on Dec. 16, 2013.

Trey Gowdy Says It All






I read the NYT article on Benghazi and proceeded to ask myself if they were operating in an alternate universe. Andrew Rosenthal's defense of the paper's position and seeming out right denial of the facts border on the surreal.  source
The pathetic attempt to focus on the name of the terrorist organization rather than on the attack itself, and to focus on a video which may not even have been as yet released speaks of desperation or possibly of an inability of the brain to integrate audio and/or visual data.
In an interview with Dana Perino, Trey Gowdy cuts loose & hammers on the truth.
Transcript & video available here
The video is short and can be listened to while doing something else. Well worth the watch/listen.

2013 Year End Review Of Tyranny, Corruption And Lies By The Obama Administration

Pravda Calls Obama a Communist, Blames his Reelection on ‘Illiterate Americans’


Oh, how times have changed. Obama is too Communist even for Pravda.
Pravda, the famous Russian newspaper most notable for being the bullhorn of the former Soviet Union, has announced their bewilderment at the stupidity of America for reelecting Obama. Citing his reelection as a result of “illiterate Americans,” the author, Xavier Lerma, explains that Obama is a communist through and through and shakes his proverbial head at the willingness of America to reelect a communist who aims to follow the catastrophic Soviet model.

Don't Wait Until 2014 to Understand Obamacare

By Keith Speights





Next year will be the year. Although the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, was passed back in 2010, the most significant parts of the major health-reform legislation don't become effective until 2014. 

Lawless: Obamacare and Federal Power


by Anthony Esolen

When referring to the nationalizing of medicine known as the Affordable Care Act, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, “We have to pass the law to see what’s in it.”

“[Law] is nothing else than an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated,” said Thomas Aquinas, defending the claim that promulgation is one of the essential characteristics of law (Summa Theologiae, Ia.IIae., q. 90, a. 4).

We should not suppose that promulgation is necessary only as a practical matter, since it is not possible to be certain that one is obeying the law unless one knows what the law is.  It is also necessary because law is meant for rational beings.  It is not something extrinsic to the lawgiver or the law-receiver, for “the proper effect of law is to make those to whom it is given, good, either simply or in some particular respect” (q. 92, a.1), by the virtue it inculcates.  Since virtue is a habit in accord with reason, the law must be capable of entering into the minds of those who must obey it, not so that they may deliberate about it, since the deliberation will already have been completed, but so that they may order themselves by it.  For example, “the natural law is promulgated by the fact that God has instilled it into man’s mind so as to be known by him naturally” (q. 90, a.4).  Jonathan Swift understood the point, writing in Gulliver’s Travels of the well-governed Kingdom of Brobdingnag, whose laws could not exceed in words the number of letters in the alphabet, “wherein those people are not mercurial enough to discover above one interpretation.”

Looking for a Pet Peeve


All my life I've been hearing about people having pet peeves. I finally asked one guy what kind of critter it is and he yelled "That's one of 'em!" Some people. I've had dogs, cats, birds, fish, an occasional reptile and once a pet rock back in the 70s, but I've never seen a pet peeve. I don't know where they come from, how big they are, what they eat, or if they're potty trained. Are they good home security, or do they just lay around all the time licking themselves?
Well, I thought the internet would give me a straight answer, but it just muddied the water. It seems whatever a pet peeve is, people don't like them very much. In that case, why have one to start with? The dictionary says a pet peeve is irritating and annoying, and then goes on to compare it to random things that frankly have nothing to do with having a pet. For instance, there's this website called GetAnnoyed.com that has a list as long as your arm of things that are suppose to remind people how bad a pet peeve is. Makes me want to vow to never have one, that's for sure, but it also makes me more determined to find a picture of it so I can avoid it. For instance, a pet peeve is like a driver who doesn't use their turn signal. Those kind of folks don't bother me in the least, because I don't know where I'm going half the time anyway. Another pet peeve reminded a fellow of someone talking out loud while they're writing a letter or email. Heck, I kind of enjoy hearing what other people have to say. Some other guy compares a pet peeve to kids who tease dogs through the fence. I suppose you should leave your pet peeve inside if you want peace with the neighbors.
Pet peeves must be pretty wicked, what with so many people upset with them. I knew a man once that owned a pet rattlesnake. He always tried to get the rattler to share its space with mice, but that never worked out. If I ever break down and get me a pet peeve I believe I'd keep it locked in the bedroom when company drops by. There's this other website that even has a top ten list of comparisons to pet peeves, called (of course, der) thetoptens.com/pet-peeves.com. Their number one problem with pet peeves is like someone chewing and talking with their mouth open. I have to admit, that can get fairly messy when you're slurping soup, but if you have, say, a dog around while you're smacking away at your dinner, he won't mind in the least if some vittles drop out of your mouth. As a matter of fact, some dogs have no problem eating food you've already chewed up, especially if you open your mouth wide enough. Pet peeves must not be very clean animals, because the number three reason why they're disliked is because it's like not washing your hands after going to the toilet. What kind of sick pervert goes around watching other people in the toilet? If you don't like your pet peeve's hygiene, bathe it from time to time for goodness sake!
I think pet peeve owners should really try to get a life. One woman's pet peeve annoyed her so much she said it was like having a road map that wasn't folded properly. I'm starting to wonder if pet peeves are getting a bum rap. Another guy compared his pet peeve to people who don't use coasters. For cryin' out loud, mister! Use a napkin! Just the other day a lady at Wal-Mart complained that her pet peeve left the toilet seat up. How rude! How do you think the pet peeve feels having to close the toilet seat all the time? It's just an animal, remember?

I think I'll get me one of those pet peeves if I can just find one. Nobody I talk to wants to part with theirs, even though all they want to do it bitch about it. Once I have one for my very own, I'll let it leave the toilet seat up, and it won't even have to wash afterwards.

Pelosi’s Jedi Mind Trick:

Reblogged from Rat Nation


Says Extending Unemployment Benefits ‘Could Produce As Many As 300,000 Jobs’



This woman truly is delusional. Maybe it’s Botox seepage.

Extended unemployment benefits ended Saturday for roughly 1.3 million people as Congress allowed the program to expire. As to be expected, each side blamed the other. Then, of course, there was Nancy Pelosi.
As reported by The Hill, Democrats — angry that an extension wasn’t included in the recently-enacted budget agreement — have vowed to make the benefits the first item on their 2014 agenda.
Republicans contend that lawmakers would better serve their constituents by directing their efforts to other job-boosting areas, especially given that a year-long unemployment extension comes with a $26 billion price tag. They also are waiting on Democrats to put forward a specific plan.
Meanwhile, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi went all Nancy Pelosi, repeating her oft-made claim that, in effect, the more people that are unemployed in America, the better it is for the economy. Here’s San Francisco’s finest, Friday:
“Starting tomorrow, too many American families will face the New Year with uncertainty, insecurity, and instability as a result of congressional Republicans’ refusal to extend critical unemployment insurance. … Every dollar invested in this initiative yields $1.52 in economic growth, and an extension of UI could produce as many as 300,000 jobs.”

While Pelosi’s claim is obviously based on this recent CBO report, most economists – such as Arthur Laffer disagree – saying reducing the incentive of unemployed Americans to find work hurts the economy in the long run. I’m with Art on this one.

Bob Woodward: ‘Rat’s Nest of Concealment & Lies’ Behind Obamacare Website Disaster

Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday a huge “secret government” and a government on “automatic pilot” has led to many of the concerns now making headlines. “They need to review this secret world,” he said of the Obama administration on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “You get to a point where it’s what do you worry about? Secret government.” National Security Agency spying both domestic and abroad and the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act are the results, he said.

WWII Veteran: 90% of Congress Are Traitors To Our Country



World War II Airborne combat veteran Warenn (Renn) Bodeker, from Plains, Montana gives us an important message from his past experiences. Renn is a member of Oath Keepers, a non-partisan association of current and formerly serving military, police, and first responders who pledge to fulfill the oath all military and police take to “defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” That oath, mandated by Article VI of the Constitution itself, is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and Oath Keepers declare that they will not obey unconstitutional orders, such as orders to disarm the American people, to conduct warrantless searches, or to detain Americans as “enemy combatants” in violation of their ancient right to jury trial

Bipartisanship Is Generally a Good Thing…but for Politicians rather than Taxpayers

The Treason Of Barack Obama

by Allan Erickson



After Obama’s recent presidential press conference it is more pressingly obvious than ever: Barack Obama must be removed from office immediately, if this country is to recover and become again the defender of liberty at home and abroad.  As long as the Failure in Chief remains in office, there is no hope of recovery, and little hope for liberty.
We cannot wait a year betting Congress will bring impeachment proceedings.  We need a guaranteed plan of action, now.

The end of private property


If the government can tell you what you can and cannot do within the privacy of your home, whether it relates to what you eat, what you smoke or whom you love, you no longer have any rights whatsoever within your home.
If government officials can fine and arrest you for growing vegetables in your front yard, praying with friends in your living room, installing solar panels on your roof, and raising chickens in your backyard, you’re no longer the owner of your property.

Missouri Bill to Gut Obamacare, Ban Penalties, Ban Healthcare Exchange

Social Security Will Begin Running a Permanent Deficit This Year




Previously the CBO said we had until 2016, now they’ve revised that estimate:
The Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday that Social Security will pay out $45 billion more in benefits this year than it will collect in payroll taxes, further straining the nation’s finances. The deficits will continue until the Social Security trust funds are eventually drained, in about 2037.

Heck, I’m even surprised when a reporter mentions that the money originated from Uncle Sam to begin with.
