More Jobs LOST!
Regardless of what Obama was saying in Michigan a few days ago, our economy is NOT getting better. We lost a net of 131,000 jobs in July. He won't admit that his programs and directions are leading the United States into a depression - not a recovery.
Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the Stimulus was sponsored by George Soros. Obama's Stimulus bill was NOT written by our Congress. Instead, it was conceived and produced by the Apollo Alliance - funded by George Soros.
If that name does not sound familiar, how does Van Jones strike you? He and several other Obama appointees wrote the Stimulus bill as employees of the Apollo Alliance. Recall, Van Jones is a self-admitted Communist who was hired by Valerie Jarret to be the Green Energy Czar. The fact that a Marxist, racist, anti-American, radical had anything to do with the "recovery" of the United States was Never explained by the administration. So it should come as no surprise that the Stimulus ISN'T WORKING in spite of the BS coming out of Obama's mouth.
Why would anyone tax and spend heavily in a weakened economy? Does that make sense? It does if you want to break-down the whole Capitalist system. Remember the Cloward and Piven strategy? Collapse the American system by overloading it. This is the Obama strategy. He's collapsing our economic system in order to "Fundamentally Change America." Into what? A Socialistic Democracy. Goodbye Republic. Hello Socialism/Marxism.
The unemployment numbers aren't any surprise to Obama. This is exactly what he wants to accomplish. Break-down America piece by piece so he can establish a new form of government. He blathers about how things are working, but Americans are waking up. He's either totally incompetent like Jimmy Carter, or he's deadly serious about his mission to change America by deliberately destroying it first.
In less than 19 months, he has written more Presidential Directives and taken more back-door approaches to trying to gain more government control over your lives than any President before him. It's no accident, because he told us he wanted to change America while campaigning.
Action To Take
It's time to take back America - NOT BY Force, but by action, peaceful political action. You need to show-up in Washington, DC on August 28, 2010 and show your support to the rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
If YOU CARE - BE THERE!

Obama Vacation Time AGAIN!
Pinch Pennies? NEVER!
The First Lady is on yet another vacation in Spain! This time, they closed the whole beach so she and the kids could go for a swim.
Most Americans know the meaning of the word "sacrifice" - especially during an economic down-turn. However, it seems that the Obama family does not. Ironic that her husband can tell us how to cut-back and tax us to death while his wife goes all out!
While the rest of the country is pinching their pennies and downsizing vacations or foregoing them altogether, the Obamas aren't taking their own advice. That's the definition for "hypocrisy."
Meanwhile Michelle is spending several days in a five star hotel on the Costa del Sol with 40 of her most "intimate" friends - and remember the Taxpayers pay for her security! Her group occupies over 60 rooms in the resort. Rooms are reported to only cost $2,500 per night. And oh yes, her method of transportation was Air Force 2 (the President's back up plane). We know she's not paying that fuel bill either!!
Wouldn't a more appropriate venue would have been the beaches in Louisiana? Those people could use the tourist business. Apparently that's NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
It's clear that the Obama's have a different view of "cutting back." They tell us that they are just common folks, but they seem to have champagne tastes. That's just DISGUSTING. They have No apathy and we deserve better!

FCC at it Again!
Free Speech Attacked Again!
What a surprise. The Obama administration is attacking the 1st Amendment once again. This time it's coming from the FCC Chairman Jukius Genachowski. He is continuing to push for dramatic increases for regulatory powers over the Internet.
Unfortunately whenever the Chairman strives for more Internet control he always neglects to provide the legal justification for these actions. Reason? THERE ARE NONE!
These continuous requests for more power keep getting squelched in the courts. Let's hope and pray that they continue to succeed to block these overt actions.
What Does This Mean?
It means that the government wants to silence free speech - political or otherwise - Mainly political. By getting more power to "regulate" the government can do what ever it damn well pleases as far as allowing political dissent to continue. If they don't like it, they will shut it down.
You SHOULD BE AFRAID America! This is YOUR government trying to silence opposing opinions. Take heed and vote accordingly.

Featured Article - Obama's Blunders
Blood on Obama’s Hands
By Floyd and Mary Beth Brown - FrontPage Magazine
"With the deaths of three additional U.S. troops on July 29, July officially became the bloodiest of the nine-year conflict in Afghanistan. The death toll for July was 63 and it captured the record as the deadliest month for Americans so far.
We all need to understand that the increase in deaths is directly the result of Obama’s personal mismanagement of the war. The blood of our servicemen is on his hands.
Why? Upon taking management of defense policy, the Obama administration intervened to change the rules of engagement. Ralph Peters explained it this way in the New York Post: “Unless our troops in combat are absolutely certain that no civilians are present, they’re denied artillery or air support. If any civilians appear where we meet the Taliban, our troops are to ‘break contact’ — to retreat” [my emphasis].
Peters concludes, “When our own moral fecklessness murders those in uniform, it’s unforgivable. In Afghanistan, our leaders are complicit in the death of each soldier, Marine or Navy corpsman who falls because politically correct rules of engagement shield our enemies.”
Obama dithered in adopting a new policy in Afghanistan deep into 2009. This led to criticism from even a left-wing dove like Sen. John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts. Of Obama’s indecision, Kerry said in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, “At the very moment when our troops and our allies’ troops are sacrificing more and more, our path and our progress seem to be growing less and less clear.”
Next came the wrongheaded announcement of our deadline for withdrawal. Obama basically told our enemies the date of our leaving; now they are emboldened by foreknowledge of our defeat.
And who can forget the Stanley McChrystal firing and all the interruption to the chain of command and subsequent uncertainty over policy?
Now we face the Wikileaks scandal, and even this cannot focus the foreign policy team lead by Obama. Obama is downplaying the importance of this leak of thousands of classified secret documents.
But he won’t be able to laugh off the latest allegations. We have now learned that with quick action he and his White House staff may have been able to limit the damage, but they were too incompetent to act.
A video interview by Judge Andrew Napolitano on Fox Business News blows this scandal wide open. When asked by Judge Napolitano why he should not be held responsible for potential deaths caused by the leak, Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, answered that he contacted the White House about the leaks before they were released and asked them to review them."

Featured Article - Cyber Snooping on YOU!
Stealthy Government Contractor Monitors U.S. Internet Providers, Worked With Wikileaks Informant
Andy Greenberg is a technology writer for Forbes.
"A semi-secret government contractor that calls itself Project Vigilant surfaced at the Defcon security conference Sunday with a series of revelations: that it monitors the traffic of 12 regional Internet service providers, hands much of that information to federal agencies, and encouraged one of its "volunteers," researcher Adrian Lamo, to inform the federal government about the alleged source of a controversial video of civilian deaths in Iraq leaked to whistle-blower site Wikileaks in April.
Chet Uber, the director of Fort Pierce, Fl.-based Project Vigilant, says that he personally asked Lamo to meet with federal authorities to out the source of a video published by Wikileaks showing a U.S. Apache helicopter killing several civilians and two journalists in a suburb of Baghdad, a clip that Wikileaks labeled "Collateral Murder." Lamo, who Uber said worked as an "adversary characterization" analyst for Project Vigilant, had struck up an online friendship with Bradley Manning, a former U.S. Army intelligence analyst who currently faces criminal charges for releasing the classified video.
In June, Uber said he learned from Lamo's father that the young researcher had identified Manning as the video's source, and pressured him to meet with federal agencies to name Manning as Wikileaks' whistleblower. He then arranged a meeting with employees of "three letter" agencies and Lamo, who Uber said had mixed feelings about informing on Manning.
"I'm the one who called the U.S. government," Uber said. "All the people who say that Adrian is a narc, he did a patriotic thing. He sees all kinds of hacks, and he was seriously worried about people dying."
Uber says that Lamo later called him from the meeting, regretting his decision to inform on Manning. "I'm in a meeting with five guys and I don't want to do this," Uber says Lamo told him at the time. Uber says he responded, "You don't have any choice, you've got to do this."
"I said, 'They're not going to throw you in jail,'" Uber said. "'Give them everything you have.'"
Wikileaks didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. IDG reporter Robert McMillan confirmed Uber's relationship with Lamo, who told McMillan that "Mr. Uber was, among a few others, an instrumental voice in helping me come to my ultimate decision."
Uber's Wikileaks revelation is one of the first public statements from the semi-secret Project Vigilant. He says the 600-person "volunteer" organization functions as a government contractor bridging public and private sector security efforts. Its mission: to use a variety of intelligence-gathering efforts to help the government attribute hacking incidents. "Bad actors do bad things and you have to prove that they did them," says Uber. "Attribution is the hardest problem in computer security."
According to Uber, one of Project Vigilant's manifold methods for gathering intelligence includes collecting information from a dozen regional U.S. Internet service providers (ISPs). Uber declined to name those ISPs, but said that because the companies included a provision allowing them to share users' Internet activities with third parties in their end user license agreements (EULAs), Vigilant was able to legally gather data from those Internet carriers and use it to craft reports for federal agencies. A Vigilant press release says that the organization tracks more than 250 million IP addresses a day and can "develop portfolios on any name, screen name or IP address."
"We don't do anything illegal," [my emphasis] says Uber. "If an ISP has a EULA to let us monitor traffic, we can work with them. If they don't, we can't."
And whether that massive data gathering violates privacy? The organization says it never looks at personally identifying information, though just how it defines that information isn't clear, nor is how it scrubs its data mining for sensitive details.
ISP monitoring is just one form of intelligence that Vigilant employs, says Uber. It also gathers a variety of open source intelligence and employs numerous agents around the world. In Iran, for instance, Uber says Vigilant created an anonymous Internet proxy service that allowed it to receive information from local dissidents prior to last year's election, including early information indicating that the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was skewed by fraud.
Uber, who formerly founded a private sector group called Infragard that worked closely with the FBI, compares the organization's techniques with Ghostnet, the Chinese cyber espionage campaign revealed last year that planted spyware on computers of many governments and NGOs. "We've developed a network for obfuscation that allows us to view bad actors," he says.
Uber says he's speaking publicly about Vigilant at Defcon because he wants to recruit the conference's breed of young, skilled hackers. By July 2011, the organization hopes to have more than 1,300 new employees.
The organization already has a few big names on its roster. According to a San Francisco Examiner article last month, its volunteer staff includes former NSA official Ira Winkler and Suzanne Gorman, former security chief for the New York Stock Exchange."
Conclusion for Americans
Are you concerned yet? Do you see the ramifications of this activity? Is YOUR privacy protected? Is it right for OUR government to be doing this without permission? You decide, but don't wait too long.

Take Back America
Economy Getting Better?
Think Again! Our national rate of unemployment stands around 9.5%. (That's if you can believe the government numbers). You see, the government no longer counts individuals who have stopped receiving unemployment benefits or those who have given up and just quit looking. They are STILL out there - just not accounted for any more. In REALITY, you can double the quoted government unemployment numbers. So that's 19 to 20% unemployment - at least.
Do you know anyone who is out of work? Are you out of work? How long have these people been out of work? Why can't they find jobs? If the economy is so great, then why aren't there more jobs? Have they given up? Do they still collect unemployment insurance? How long should the government borrow money to pay for this insurance? Doesn't this add to our national debt? Aren't we digging the hole deeper by borrowing more?
Do you still believe Obama when he faces the cameras (after another vacation) and says with a straight face that the Stimulus worked and that the economy is getting better? How out-of-touch can any one guy be? He's too busy playing golf, taking expensive fund-raising trips, and throwing too many parties. How would he know that YOU are hurting? Or, worse yet, if HE DOES KNOW, why does he continue to LIE to the American public?
We trusted him by putting him in office. And this is what we get? We deserve better. Where's the honesty and integrity that he promised? Obama is no different than any other Politician - maybe worse. Example: Look at how his policies are destroying America.
Change the Music
It's time to change directions. We need to stop government spending and pull back - way back. We should rescind ObamaCare immediately after the November elections. It's too expensive and we cannot afford it. Not now. This is one reason why we need to get out the vote. We need to replace the one party Progressive/DEMs. Vote-out incumbent Progressive/DEMs who have legislated us into the worst deficits in our history for THEIR AGENDA. Get rid of this irresponsible behavior.
Take back America. Attend the rally in Washington, DC on August 28, 2010 at the Lincoln Memorial. Show the Washington politicians that YOU care and are fed up with their unaccountability and irresponsibility.
