Obama Rallies Far Left Human Rights Groups Before Security Speech

In a sane world the president might meet with military or intelligence officials before a major speech on national security.

But,Dear Leader Obama chose instead to meet with Far Left sham human rights groups (You know, the ones who somehow manage to blame America for every tragedy in the world while ignoring real human rights abuses) before his major post-Cheney national security speech today in Washington DC.

Greg Sargent reported that all three cable news outlets will carry Cheney’s speech tomorrow morning live directly after Dear Leader makes his speech.

The Huffington Post reported:

Under heavy criticism for a series of decisions on national security that resembled, for some, those of the Bush years, President Barack Obama hosted a lengthy meeting on Wednesday with the leaders of several key human rights and civil liberties groups.

Addressed were the topics that promise to be front and center during the President’s major foreign policy speech scheduled for Thursday.

According to an attendee, Obama expressed frustration with Congress’ decision to remove funding for the closure of the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay. The president declared that his hands were tied in some ways regarding the use of reformed military tribunals, though he pledged to try as many detainees as possible in Article III federal courts.

Speaking to human rights officials on Wednesday, the president also left the door open for the future release of detainee abuse photos, saying that his administration’s current opposition to the release was dictated by immediate concern over the complications it could cause to America’s mission in Afghanistan.

In an interview with the Huffington Post, Massimino detailed what she described as a “lively and detailed and serious” discussion on some of the days most vexing national security issues. Over the course of roughly an hour and fifteen minutes, Obama, along with Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Attorney General Eric Holder, advisers Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, foreign policy hand Dennis McDonough, and counter-terrorism chief John Brennan, held court with a group of academics, as well as officials with the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, and the Center for Constitutional Rights.

 
I’m thinking that our brave men and women inthe military will have something to say about this one and it won’t be

If Only . . . A Tale of the June Bug vs the Politician

Uncategorized May 19, 2009

Spring was short this year. We have gone from snow just a few weeks ago to near 90 degree weather and with that comes the yearly buzzing of the . . .

“June Bug“.

Now while they are really harmless creatures who come out of their underground world for such a short period of time, their constant buzzing and diving at you while out in public is totally annoying. Especially when you have been cooped up for a rather long winter and have been anticipating that 1st warm evening to just sit outdoors and enjoy the fresh country air on the log swing.

The June Bug’s seemingly lack of direction and ability to control its flight reminds me of many of the current elected officials in DC.

Soon these harmless pests tire and are back to crawling for cover, leaving the sidewalk or the drive a mess for you to sweep up.

If only it was that easy with a politician.

If only all we had to do was go to DC and sweep up the mess so a new swarm of would be fliers could come out the next day.

A new swarm of elected officials with better direction and the right kind of wings to take flight and soar while bringing the country back in the direction of Constitutionality.

Introducing: “Government Trucking Inc”

Action Item, Contact Your US Senators & Congresswoman, Economy, In The News, US Congress Legislation May 18, 2009

It seems we will now be the proud owners of a major trucking operation that was once 2 of the largest operations in the US that were on the brink of insolvency due to their pension plans and practices of not bidding freight rates that would sustain the operations. This I know, because we have to compete with them and are constantly having to either haul cheap to get moving or just plain let the wheels stay idle until competitive, fair marketed and rated freight is available. Rates are so bad right now thanks to these “RATE RAPERS”, and we knew it was only a matter of time before they went begging, but we didn’t think it would be our hard working dollars that would be bailing them out.

The ultimate question in my mind though is “why in the world would a transportation company need a billion dollars”?

…get this…”to keep their union pension plans afloat”!!!

 This in this weekend from Land-Line magazine:

Less-than-truckload giant YRC Worldwide plans to seek a $1 billion bailout from the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.

The Wall Street Journal reported the company, based in Overland Park, KS, says it needs to shore up its pension plan, which has a $2 billion obligation over the next four years. Chief Executive Bill Zollars says YRC inherited pension obligations for many employees who never worked for the company as it is presently configured.

YRC has already negotiated a 10 percent pay cut for its union employees in exchange for partial ownership of the company.

In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Zollars said the company had other cost-cutting measures planned if necessary, including closing 20 more terminals across the country in cities where the company has more than one.

But why this transportation company?

Maybe because as the WSJ reported: they have that special connection with “The One”?

Or maybe connections with one of the already bailed-out firms?

Unionized Yellow Transportaion and Roadway Transportaion are the biggest “thorn in the side” to hard working independent truckers. Their practices of manipulating the freight market by keeping rates too low for the little guy to be able to compete with, is the ultimate cause of their downfall. Rates to low to sustain their commitments and contracts with the unions.

Meet YRC Worldwide, Yellow-Roadway Worldwide, Inc, soon to be Government Trucking Inc.

Yep, just another Fortune 500 company and one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is the holding company for a portfolio of successful brands including YRC, YRC Reimer, YRCLogistics, New Penn, Holland, Reddaway and YRC Glen Moore. Building on the strength of its heritage brands, Yellow Transportation and Roadway, the enterprise provides global transportation services, transportation management solutions and logistics management. The portfolio of brands represents a comprehensive array of services for the shipment of industrial, commercial and retail goods domestically and internationally.

Now, call me ignorant, but how successful can you be if your going to the government for a $1 Billion dollar bail-out? Being around and in the trucking industry all my life, I know the only time we have gone to the bank was when we needed new equipment or when were needed a start-up loan. NEVER did we go to the bank to keep our employee obligations afloat.

After finding the previous connections, I decided to go play a game of “connect the dollars” via MUCKETY and I have to say, it was hard to decide which connections to use, the list is long, but here are the prominent ones:

 william d zollars bail-out connections to federal transportatipon boardwilliam d zollars bail-out connections3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Connection:

 

william d zollars bail-out connections to federal transportatipon board main

 

The main character is Carl W. Vogt, who is not only the Chairman of the Federal Transportation Board, he is also a Director of YRC Worldwide Inc.

YRC is also in deep with House minority leader, John Boehner, (R) Ohio as well as the top Republican PAC group. YRC is also connected to none other than the DNC via Howard Dean who is also a Director of YRC and it goes on and on.

So, why will I expect YRC to get their bail-out?

Let’s just say they are coming into the “GREEN” for the “NON” global warming agenda to ruin our economy:

YRC destination green

“The transportation providers of YRC Worldwide Inc. participate in programs and processes for protecting and preserving the environment. These strategies have the twin goals of reducing our carbon footprint while optimizing our corporate resources. Our industry-leading companies effectively and aggressively promote greenhouse gas reduction strategies, waste reduction, and conservation across their daily operations.”

There you have it folks.

It doesn’t matter your industry or occupation, the unions and the government have their greedy hands in it all to wipe out the little guys for their socialist, fascist, marxist global agenda.

We will all soon be part of “Government Worldwide Inc”.

I’ll have more on these self-insured mega trucking operations later in the week after I get through all the paperwork and phone calls to get the intial BS out of the way from another “mega mishhap” due to one of their drivers inability to handle his equipment. The 2nd in 2 years time:

truck frnder may 17 2009100_0615100_0614

 

This was yesterday……………………………………………………………………………………………………….This was 2 years ago

Both happened at truck stops, this weeks happened while innocently parked with plenty of room all around for another truck to maneuver, the other that happened a couple years ago was while the truck was parked at the fuel islands. In that case, the “BIG” company drivers tried to get out of it by pretending to…get this..”speak no English”. They were allowed to get back in their company truck, that had expired plates, and continue on, onto the truck scale, where the driver continued to wreak havoc doing more damage to his company rig as well as the guard posts at the scale. It took nearly 8 months to get compensated from that self-insured national corporate trucking operation. You see, they thought that they should only have to reimburse us according to their company rates, not what we actually were contracted to work for, and they also thought that they shouldn’t have had to pay for the rental truck we had to lease to deliver and finish the run.

So, my 1st action tomorrow: call Thune’s office and fill them in on this little web of deceit.

Then onto the task of prying out of the hands of another self-insured  mega trucking corporation, what is due to us to fix our equipment and make sure we are compensated for the revenue we will loose while it is in the body shop.

There you go Patriots, you now have a hint of what “Government Trucking Inc” will be like. For us, it will just be another day and another dollar in their favor.

 God Bless, drive safe and remember to thank a trucker should you happen along their path.

UPDATE: thought I would share our co-driver with you. She has 14 years of experience and a perfect driving record…

Tea Parties Thwarting the Global Agenda of the Elite Bilderberg Organization

In The News May 17, 2009

I haven’t done a lot of research into this group, however, what I have found out is that they are the Elite of the Elite, and they have high hopes of getting “their way” to keep their coffers full and in control of the world stock markets/economies.

I also am not sold on Alex Jones, however, he does have an inside connection that he gets his information through. An inside source that the WSJ (Wall Street Journal) is privy to for its articles.

It is an interesting read and the information can all be corroborated…though I “DO NOT” endorse all on this website, I have found the Bilderberg information to be reliable…

Paul Joseph Watson
Saturday, May 16, 2009

Veteran investigative journalist Jim Tucker has uncovered Bilderberg’s 2009 agenda, which includes the plan for a global department of health, a global treasury and a shortened depression rather than a longer economic downturn.

Tucker said that former Swedish Prime Minister and regular Bilderberg attendee Carl Bildt, “Made a speech advocating turning the World Health Organization into a world department of health, advocating turning the IMF into a world department of treasury, both of course under the auspices of the United Nations.”

Tucker noted that such moves would constitute giant steps toward the world government that Bilderberg has set about to achieve but has been frustrated in finalizing over the past 10 years.

Tucker said that Bilderberg are keen on stressing the problems caused by the economic crisis, as well as the threat of a disease pandemic, as a means of justifying centralization of power.

According to Tucker, Bildt also discussed global warming in the context of a global tax on carbon emissions, which has long been a part of Bilderberg’s agenda.

The global tax which will be paid directly to the UN will be introduced gradually, first of all as a barely noticeable tax at the gas pump, before being hiked up once it is in place, said Tucker.

Regarding the crucial Lisbon Treaty, which was struck down after Irish voters said no to its passage last year, Tucker said that Bilderberg were planning to privately send representatives to Ireland to talk to political leaders in an effort to push the treaty through. The EU requires all member states to ratify the treaty before it can be passed and Irish voters will again be asked to vote in a referendum later this year despite having already rejected the treaty last year.

Tucker said that a key component of this year’s Bilderberg Group meeting was an effort to get President Obama to, “Slip through ratification of the International Criminal Court treaty,” by forwarding it to the Senate to be voted on.

“Their tactics are this,” said Tucker, “Obama is to sweet talk the many left-wing Democrats in Congress who really want the International Criminal Court treaty, they’re just scared because people were so strongly opposed to surrendering sovereignty that they were afraid to vote for it – political cowards – so Obama’s going to sweet talk them and say don’t worry, we’ll have more liberals in the Senate after the 2010 elections so in January of 2011 when the new Senate is seated you can ratify it late on a Saturday night when it’s too late for Sunday morning papers and to re-plan the Sunday talk shows….there will be no political reprisals.”

Tucker confirmed the information first released by Daniel Estulin, that Bilderberg were discussing whether to sink the economy quickly or drag on a long agonizing depression. “Treasury Secretary Geithner and Carl Bildt touted a shorter recession not a 10-year recession….partly because a 10 year recession would damage Bilderberg industrialists themselves, as much as they want to have a global department of labor and a global department of treasury, they still like making money and such a long recession would cost them big bucks industrially because nobody is buying their toys….the tilt is towards keeping it short,” said Tucker.

Tucker concluded by noting that Bilderberg members seemed grim faced at this year’s meeting and that geopolitically, “Things are going bad for them, Americans are responding, Europeans are responding, and their program is being blocked.”

Now, wasn’t it nice of our Treasury Secretary “Turbo Tax Timmy” to take time from his job, the one he doesn’t seem very good at, to fly to Greece to meet behind closed doors and help the elitists to decide where our money should go and how we should live our personal lives? I also wonder if we paid for it. Some phone calls will be going to DC 1st thing Monday as this is NOT official US business in the Constitutional sense.

It’s time for that AUDIT ( bill co-sponsored by Rep Herseth Sandlin, Stephanie [SD] – 5/6/2009 and 155 other Congressmen/women)!!

A Tale of Two Courageous County Sheriffs

By Ron Ewart

All around us, the power of the federal government is manifested by hundreds of presidential executive orders, thousands of un-read legislation emanating from the U. S. Congress and millions of bureaucratic rules, regulations, restrictions and ordinances, issuing forth from the government’s massive bureaucracy ….. laws, rules, regulations, restrictions and ordinances that in most cases, bear no resemblance to constitutional law, much less constitutional authority. These people don’t seem to care about constitutional law or constitutional authority, they just do it, because they can and it takes an alert citizenry to challenge them. How do you fight such a monster?

 

 

The U. S. Constitution is still in tack and upon occasion the U. S. Supreme Court will rule along the lines of the actual intent of the Framers of that Constitution. But it took two brave sheriffs of the great state of Arizona and the great state of Montana, both Western States who still believe strongly in states rights, to “esplain” it to the federal government, whom apparently does not think that they are governed by that famous document of liberty, or falsely believes that their “rule” supersedes it. It doesn’t…

It is not necessary to resort to civil war or revolution, to upset the “apple cart” of an arrogant, out-of-control federal government that has lost all allegiance to the Supreme Law of the Land. We only need use the most important tool of all, that the Founders gave us, our Constitution. With it, we can challenge the “bully” and win.

Finally, throughout our history, from even way before the ratification of our Constitution, the County Sheriff was the ultimate law for his jurisdiction. He is the only law enforcement officer in America elected by the people and answerable only to the people. He swears on solemn oath to preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States and most sheriffs take that oath very seriously. The County Sheriff, operating under the authority of the 10th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, could very well be the last line of defense of the God-given, unalienable, individual rights of the people and the protector of the Constitution, as well as American sovereignty.

In Mack/Printz v USA, the U S Supreme Court declared that the states or their political subdivisions, “are not subject to federal direction.”

Sheriff’s Mack and Printz paid a very heavy price for their courage but it was that courage and their sacrifice that scored a victory for all citizens of the United States, proving that we are still a Constitutional Republic under the rule of law and we have not morphed into an Absolute Democratic Monarchy, under the rule of the mob ….. yet!

Urgent UPDATE: Going Down a Dangerous Road

Action Item, In The News, Youth Educational Material May 13, 2009

itstartedwithprayerI’ve been following the “American Grand Jury” movement, even to the point of asking for an application, which I have never returned and in all reality, will never print it out, let alone fill it out and return it.

While I admire the Patriotism of those who are promoting and over seeing the grand juries, I have this nasty “GUT” feeling that there could be real trouble down the road “if and when” any of the presentments/indictments ever see the light of a court room.

Why?

It became all too clear while listening to a recent blog-talk radio episode, that there is a deep seeded biased effort to bring a “guilty as charged” mentality to the grand jury. When the guest promoted getting as many of these juries together to bring more indictments all across the country, while they openly promote and brag about the presentments/ indictments already handed down, my heart stopped a beat and my head was sent spinning in disappointment.

Of all things, juries are to be non-biased and is the reason many court proceedings are moved from their original jurisdictions.

Unless those overseeing these grand juries can show without a shadow of a doubt that ANY and ALL grand jury members haven’t been subjected to biased views/evidence against the defendant prior to the grand jury proceedings, NONE of these presentments/indictments will hold up to the scrutiny of any open court where lawyers are allowed to enter into the picture.

But, should this discourage those from continuing the grand juries? I think NOT. If nothing else, they bring awareness to the tyranny and treason being perpetrated upon the Constitution and the citizens of the United States.

So, to all my fellow patriots who are caught up and running with the grand jury movement, I wish you well, but I also wish you the sense to see a HUGE problem down the road that CAN and WILL come back to bite you if you continue to recruit grand jury members openly and publicly on the same website where conclusions of previous grand juries are being reported.

UPDATE: here is my proof:

35 Texas Citizens The indictment: Fraud and Treason


There was never a hint of indecision when this group of concerned citizens got together in Texas and decided to go to work. In their minds “the man who hates America” needed to be indicted and the sooner the better.

The jury spent a week reviewing and contemplating the evidence but the vote was swift and decisive. All 35 members raised their hands and said, “we want this man tried in court and we are now looking to the Great State of Texas to bring that justice to our citizens.”

I hardly think our founding fathers would approve of this sort of activity being promoted under the guise of a constitutional grand jury. They have sunk to the level of the statist/progressive actions in which they claim to deplore: the abuse of the Constitution.
