The Enemy Inside the Wire

post by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. (President of the Center for Security Policy, a columnist for the Washington Times and host of the nationally syndicated program, Secure Freedom Radio, heard in Washington weeknights at 9:00 p.m. on WRC 1260 AM)

[I commented on this blog over and over about this but got no attention. Perhaps this is a beginning of what you as Americans refuse to acknowledge: the next Crusade!]

What would have happened if, during the Cold War, Soviet intelligence had been responsible for training Americans charged with countering communist aggression?  Surely, we would not have defeated the USSR. Perhaps, instead, Kruschev’s boast that his nation would dance on our graves would have been realized.

It should, therefore, be profoundly alarming that, today, the Obama administration is entrusting to agents of the Moslem Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan in Arabic) the responsibility for approving who and what is used in “countering violent extremism” training for our military, law enforcement, intelligence personnel. The use of the term “countering violent extremism” (or CVE) is, of course, the first clue that the enemy is inside the wire.  That euphemism is the term Team Obama allows to be employed in lieu of phrases that actually describe the nature of the principal enemy we face at the moment: Moslems who engage in holy war—jihad—to compel the rest of us to submit to the totalitarian, supremacist political-military-legal doctrine they call shariah.

“Countering violent extremism” is problematic for reasons beyond its lack of clarity about the threat.  It also explicitly excludes a facet of the menace posed by shariah that is at least as dangerous to an open, tolerant liberal democracy as the violent sort of jihad: the stealthy insinuation of this doctrine in ways that are non-violent or, more accurately, pre-violent.

The Moslem Brotherhood specializes in this sort of covert warfare, which it has dubbed “civilization jihad.” Its skills were honed during decades of operations under a succession of hostile Egyptian governments. Now that the Brothers have achieved—with no little help from Obama—the overthrow of the last of these under Hosni Mubarak, their true colors are becoming evident.  Ask the Coptic Christians who are now being massacred by the putatively “non-violent” Ikhwan.

Make no mistake: Stealthy civilization jihad is every bit as toxic and has precisely the same goals as the sort of holy war we have come to associate with murderous hijackers and suicide bombers of MB spin-offs like al Qaeda.

We know, for example, from evidence introduced uncontested by federal prosecutors in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation terrorism-funding trial that the Brotherhood’s mission here is “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying… Western civilization from within… by their hands [read, ours] and the hands of the believers so that God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”  We also are on notice that the MB has a five-phased plan for achieving this mission in the United States; the first four phases are stealthy and pre-violent. Which brings us to the alarming guidelines recently promulgated by the Department of Homeland Security for countering violent extremism training. Under the heading “Trainers should be expert and well-regarded,” the DHS directs that a “prospective trainer’s resume be “check[ed] with knowledgeable community leaders.”  Unfortunately, it appears that, as far as the Obama administration is concerned, such “leaders” are exclusively those associated with organizations that the federal government and the Moslem Brotherhood itself have identified as Ikhwan fronts. The DHS guidelines also direct that “training should be sensitive to constitutional values.”  To that end, it requires that “federal, state and local government and law enforcement officials organizing CVE training…review the training program to ensure that:

  • “It uses examples to demonstrate that terrorists and violent extremists vary in ethnicity, race, gender, and religion.
  • “Training should focus on behavior, not appearance or membership in particular ethnic or religious communities.
  • “Training should support the protection of civil rights and civil liberties as part of national security. Don’t use training that equates religious expression, protests, or other constitutionally protected activity with criminal activity.”

In other words, Muslim Brotherhood-associated individuals are being afforded the opportunity to veto the use of trainers who might actually understand the nature of the danger its operatives and organizations pose to our country. And those who are allowed to train are not permitted to focus their students on the actual threat emanating from a subset of the Moslem community.  Rather, they must promote the notion that there are really no indicators in belief or nationality that can help the authorities apply limited security resources in a sensibly prioritized manner. Some try to excuse this behavior as nothing more than being “sensitive,” “tolerant” or “politically correct.”  The danger is that shariah-adherent Moslems regard such conduct as submissive—and, according to their doctrine, they are obliged to redouble their efforts to, as the Koran puts it, make us “feel subdued.”  That means more violence, not less.

That prospect becomes all the greater when one adds into the mix the presence of government officials who are themselves tied to the Moslem Brotherhood and/or its shariah doctrine—including in senior positions in the White House, the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security.  Such individuals are products of and greatly facilitate the Brothers‘ influence operations and contribute greatly to our failure to date to recognize, let alone counteract, them.

If we would not have won the Cold War had the KGB been able to call the shots here, we surely will not prevail if we allow the Moslem Brotherhood to do the same in the struggle against today’s totalitarian ideology, shariah—a doctrine some have dubbed “communism with a god.”  Congressional oversight is urgently needed to prevent that from happening.

Where’s The People’s Voice

post by Michael Krull, Newt 2012, Campaign Manager

[What Mr. Krull talks about below has already begun. In earlier post on this blog, I repeatedly talked about this, posted articles about this, now it's our reality. Here it goes: My son is in the Louisiana National Guard. One of his best friends swore the oath about seven weeks ago. He went through his physical at MEPS and then a week after his wedding, he was shipped off to Fort Jackson, South Carolina (my old stomping ground) for basic. In less than a week, him as well as over 200 other newbees were summoned into a large room to be told that they were being immediately discharged. My son's friend was told he had ADD and could not serve. So, while the other soldiers began their basic training, these 200+ young men had to sit around for five weeks to be out processed. That's right FIVE weeks. Here's how volunteers for freedom are treated!]

In just seven days, the super committee is required to present a bipartisan agreement to Congress and, in what should be a shocking development, word yesterday is that they were working on a “two-part solution” or, as Rep. XavierBecera commented, a “multi-part solution.” Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta warned that the trigger to slash defense spending by $600 billion if a deal could not be reached would lead to the smallest ground force since 1940, the smallest number of ships since 1915, and the smallest Air Force in its history! This would cripple our military right in the middle of serious global unrest!

That a “super committee” was formed with triggers that would literally cripple our ability to protect our interests around the world is unforgivable, and the direct result of failed leadership. With a gun pointed toward things as important as Medicare and Defense, this president has the audacity to go to Australia and proclaim that “this region is going to be the engine of economic growth for a long time.” This, following comments by the puppet that Americans are “a little bit lazy.”  This country is suffering from a severe lack of competent leadership, and the only solution is to force the puppet to defend his radical policies.

Nullication–Interposition: The Difference

post by Steve Palmer, The Tenth Amendment Center

[The following article clears up the Nullification process. I'm glad I found it. The discussion is very professional and eye opening. Please take the time to read this and visit The Tenth Amendment Center. Education is the key. George Washington said educating our youth about our way of life and our Constitution was the key to our survival. Down here in South Louisiana, Civics is a half-year course, and people wonder why America is like it is.]

One thing I have noticed during my fifteen months working with the Tenth Amendment Center is that when people use the words, nullification and interposition, they don’t always seem to mean the same things.  Even articles by people who agree about these concepts give subtle, contextual clues that we aren’t necessarily thinking of the same ideas when we use these words. On the surface, it’s simple. Nullification is when a State declares a law null, void and invalid. Interposition is when a State inserts itself between the federal government and the State’s citizens on behalf of the citizens. Surprisingly, though, when you think a little more carefully about it, things start getting muddled pretty quickly. For example, are nullification and interposition two words for the same thing? If not, do they overlap? Which branch of government does them?

Matt Spalding, with The Heritage Foundation gives us a great example of this confusion. In his article, rejecting the concept of nullification, he writes, “The important distinction between Madison’s idea of interposition and Calhoun’s theory of nullification should be kept clear and bright, and has practical application in today’s debates…A different approach can be seen in the Firearm Freedom Acts passed in 8 States (proposed in 22 more) cleverly designed to challenge expansive federal claims of regulatory authority under the Commerce Clause. South Carolina is doing the same with the Incandescent Light Bulb Freedom Act. These acts are aggressive State actions that challenge federal laws—but they are not nullification. Nor is it nullification when States refuse to participate in federal programs and mandates, such as the REAL ID Act. (emphasis added)

From these excerpts, it becomes clear that not only do Mr. Spalding and I disagree about the proper role for nullification in the States, but worse, we don’t even agree about what nullification means. To me, when a State refuses to participate in a federal mandate, such as the REAL ID Act, that is just about as close as possible to the textbook meaning of nullification as you can get.

We’re never going to be able to agree about the proper role for nullification if we can’t even agree on what it means. Apparently, Mr. Spalding is on board with all these legislative examples he lists, but rejects some nebulous concept known as “Calhoun’s theory of nullification.” While it would also be useful to address some of the other points in Mr. Spalding’s article, that will have to wait for another day. The point of this article is simply to propose a way of organizing the concepts of nullification and interposition so that when we discuss them, we are at least thinking of the same ideas.

Proposing a Framework—To this end, I decided to try to draw a diagram to organize my own thoughts on these concepts.  It turned out to be more difficult than I thought, but here is what I came up with (so far).

Describing the Diagram—In this diagram, nullification is a subset of interposition. That is, nullification is interposition, but interposition is not necessarily nullification. Nullification and interposition themselves are not seen as specific actions, but rather as categories into which actions fit. The various ovals in the diagram are color-coded to represent the strength of the measure and positioned within the lines to reflect the branch of State government which can execute them. The royal blue ovals represent forms of interposition which are not nullification. The turquoise ovals are passive forms of nullification where the State declares a federal action invalid, but doesn’t actively resist federal efforts at enforcement or implementation. The red ovals are the confrontational forms of nullification where the State says that a federal action is invalid and the State will prevent the federal government from enforcing or implementing its program.

It should be noted that all of these actions can, theoretically, be applied before or after a Supreme Court ruling. The position of the Tenth Amendment Center is that the State has the final authority to interpret the Constitution for itself. Unfortunately, that opinion is not yet held by everyone. Before a Supreme Court ruling, however, none of the actions in this diagram should be controversial.

Interposition—In this model, I included three forms of interposition—1.) Resolutions by the State legislature, 2.) litigation by the State’s executive branch and 3.) nullification by one or more branches of the State government.

Examples of legislative resolutions include the Tenth Amendment Resolutionswhich have passed or are presently under consideration in many States. Another example is Pennsylvania’s 1811 Resolution Against the Bank. An example of interposition in the form of litigation by the executive branch comes to us in the form of the lawsuits by 28 States, including Pennsylvania, against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. I do not consider these State actions to be nullification because neither one effects the functioning of the federal law which it targets. Instead, both depend upon further action by another branch or level of government in order to restore the Constitution. The stay and injunction by the judicial branch also come to mind as possible forms of interposition, but I couldn’t think of any specific examples off the top of my head, so I did not include them.

Nullification—And that brings us to nullification. In this framework, nullification can be performed individually by any of the branches of State government or by multiple branches in conjunction.

Executive Branch—One form of nullification comes when the executive branch refuses, without prompting by the State legislature, to implement or enforce a federal program. Examples can be seen in the States of Florida and Alaska, both of whom have announced their refusal to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act. Even the Supreme Court agrees that the executive branch of the State may refuse to enforce or implement a federal program, writing in the case of Mack/Printz v. USA—”We held in New York that Congress cannot compel the States to enact or enforce a federal regulatory program. Today we hold that Congress cannot circumvent that prohibition by conscripting the State’s officers directly. The Federal Government may neither issue directives requiring the States to address particular problems, nor command the States’ officers, or those of their political subdivision, to administer or enforce a federal regulatory program. It matters not whether policymaking is involved, and no case by case weighing of the burdens or benefits is necessary; such commands are fundamentally incompatible with our constitutional system of dual sovereignty.”

In other words, the federal government cannot require any State official to enforce or implement a federal program. End of discussion. Sheriff DeMeo took nullification into the red zone by actively preventing the Federal Bureau of Land Management from enforcing their program. It is interesting to note that Nye County, NV joined Sheriff DeMeo, interposing by passing a resolution. While this article focuses on nullification and interposition by the State, it happens at other levels, too.

Judicial Branch—A State’s judicial branch can nullify a federal law by simply declaring it unconstitutional. This was done, for example, in the instance of Joshua Glover, when the Wisconsin Supreme Court declared the Federal Fugitive Slave Act to be unconstitutional.

Legislative Branch and Collaboration—When the legislative branch passes a law which is in conflict with a federal law, that branch of government is acting to nullify the federal law. There are numerous examples of this form of nullification, including State medical marijuana laws,Real ID non-compliance measures and firearm freedom acts. Legislative measures of this sort are more effective when they are also supported by the actions of the executive  branch and the decisions of the courts. As we see in California, where LAPD and LA County Sheriff department members joined federal officials on a recent raid of a medical marijuana dispensary, the other branches of State government do not always collaborate.

Pennsylvania’s Personal Freedom Law, which made it kidnapping when a bounty hunter attempted to return an escaped slave to his State of origin, was an example of a legislative measure which had escalated into the red zone of our diagram. Proposed TSA limiting laws in PennsylvaniaNew Jersey, New Hampshire and Texas which consider unconstitutional strip searches and aggressive pat downs to be assault are modern examples.

Conclusion—While it may not be important that everyone adopts this particular framework when talking about nullification and interposition, it is tremendously important that we know what framework is being used when we talk to each other about these concepts. When confronted with someone who opposes the concepts of nullification and interposition, before arguing about the validity and proper uses for nullification, perhaps the starting point should be to seek common ground on the definitions of the words. It may turn out that by agreeing on what the words mean, we may find that we have more in common than we knew. Also, organizing the instances of nullification and interposition using a framework like this may illuminate some tactical understandings that aren’t as easily discerned through verbal descriptions.

Erase the Hypocrisy, Please!

post by k. e. leger

You know I’m so sick and tired of the phrases conservative movement and grass roots. The United States of America was founded on Christian values that once upon a time took morals, values, and loyalty to their country very serious. Radical liberals were not accepted. In my opinion, whoever came up with these phrases are not true Americans in any since of the word. With that said, on with the 2012 campaign.

Ridiculous. The only word for it.

Conference in Louisiana after Oil Spill. Notice there's no flags. No U.S. President has ever forgotten the flags!

Candidate (so-sure-of-himself) #1—As anyone who reads my opinions here knows, the puppet shouldn’t even be in the Oval Office. He should have never been elected, but since he has (or placed), he should have been impeached that first year. My argument is strong here. Just read this site and you will understand the footing on which I stand.

Like many others I was floored after the November 2010 election. We called for impeachment but nothing happened. But then things cleared up, for me anyway. If you paid attention to who got elected, you would have noticed that many seats were incumbents (meaning, of course, that they were reelected—furthering their careers as politicians which should be a no, no since we taxpayers fit the bill.)

These incumbents were the ones (including the puppet) who signed the stimulus package of 2008. Remember that? It doesn’t seem like many people paid much attention to who was getting the money. AIG was one. Did you know that? Well, did you also know that AIG supports the Islamic world-destructive views? No, well, just do a little research and you will find that this company refuses to do business with Christians or any company or person associated with Christianity. That’s right! Okay, put a little sense in that one and you get the United States Congress giving money to support terrorism. That’s a big assumption but yet if they don’t do business with Christians, then who are they doing business with and who owns them? Check out what Insurance Journey and The Voice Magazine has to say about this issue.

So, I would assume that none of these Congress members who signed this package would want to face treason charges; and, since we have a president who is highly questionable in every aspect of his life, it would be right to assume there was some blackmail going on behind closed doors. “Impeach me and I’ll make sure everyone knows what you did!” I would not put it pass this puppet master because he lacks any kind of character.

Another question I keep asking myself is—should a president of the United States be campaigning 1 1/2 years before an election? Shouldn’t he be running the country instead? Shouldn’t he be protecting the country? Just wondering because I think it lacks a considerable amount of character to be doing what the puppet is doing.

For the other contenders. Here’s where my comment above about conservative movement comes into play. Humm.

How many times has he been married? A liar, a cheater, a traitor.

Candidate Prospect #2—Shouldn’t Trump be running on the Democratic ticket since he so proudly announced how he made more money on one transaction, that of renting American soil to a dictator who supports terrorism, than he did all year? Then he tried to cover his a…

As reported by Ryan Witt on examiner.com—”Donald Trump tried to justify his relative recent business dealings with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.  Yesterday, Donald Trump boasted about how he screwed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi in some business dealings.  Critics questioned whether Trump should be profiting at all off of a known supporter of terrorism who has since become infamous for his brutal rule over his own people. …[A] CNN interviewer then asks if he gave Gaddafi’s money to charity. Trump goes on to claim that he did, in fact, donate the money he made off of Gaddafi to charity.”

Then he changed his story stating to Timothy Christopher of Mediate that he  “made it impossible for Gaddafi to rent the property, but instead it was local government officials.” Then he states that he didn’t know who he was renting the property to—”Trump claimed that he did not know it was Gaddafi who was renting the property. At the time, Trump claimed he thought the property was being leased to the United Arab Emirates, with no connection to Gaddafi.”

The joke’s on us. Of course, American politics has become a joke all around the world. We can easily be manipulated and deceived. Oh, and taken advantage of . Is Trump just playing around with us, too? South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, says to NewsMax—“Anybody that thinks he’s doing this for name recognition—that’s just not true. He’s very serious about it and he’s convinced he can win.” Now remember that he rented American property to a terrorist and dictator. Was there a deal made under the table? Think about it. Trump proudly announced that he made more money in that one transaction then in a whole year! Trump’s a very rich man. Does anyone know how much he made last year? It is reported that he is worth $2.9 billion.

So, better yet, should he be running for the President of the United States at all? He’s rich. Okay. And? That’s all that I see. Sure he built himself an empire in business. Oh, boo-hoo. That doesn’t make him worthy of being an American President. Did he hold any public service office? I mean maybe the public would vote for him since the puppet got in office with hardly any public service experience along with having friendships with Islamic terrorist criminals. Maybe Americans just don’t care to be free anymore.

Another point about Trump is—Just because he stirred up mess about the puppet’s birth certificate doesn’t makes him credible. The people should have taken care of that from the start. No, take that back, the United States Judicial system should have done this. And, once they failed to do their job, then the people should have stepped up to the plate and called for recalls across the board. That’s how it is suppose to be done. Now they are looking up to a traitor because he’s got enough money to do so? How absurd!

If she runs and if she does what she did for Alaska, America would say farewell to all those who want to destroy her because she would regain her power.

Presumed Candidate #3—Tell me Sarah Palin doesn’t have experience and you’d be a liar. She has a lot of experience. What she did for Alaska is amazing. Why wouldn’t she make a good candidate? Because she is a strong Christian? Oh, yeah, the moslums in Washington wouldn’t like that one because she would interrupt their take-over plans! That’s the only reason I see that would be anyone’s reason to not support her. After all, there’s no one else willing to step up to the plate that’s worthy enough. Isn’t that true?

But still there’s still mess. NewsMax reports “a battery of recent polls that suggest her once sky-high popularity is plummeting on many key fronts—among Republicans and independents, for example, as well as Alaskans.” Very interesting. I guess these poll takers didn’t read her books. I did. Maybe Palin should create her own ticket. After what she witnessed during the 2008 campaign, I doubt that either party—Republicans and Democrats—value the Constitution much anymore. George Washington was right on the mark when he said that parties bring only corruption and separation. I mean no one seems to be questioning why Americans aren’t voting for people who really care about our ways and our laws; instead, they are voting (or something else) people in office that really hate this wonderful country!

Career Politician!

Candidate #4—And who’s Rep. Michele Bachmann? Here’s what NewsMax had to say, “Somewhat surprisingly, Bachmann may be the trio’s most serious candidate—at least, her recent fundraising suggests she is. The three-term congresswoman raised $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, according to her newly released Federal Election Commission filings. Of that total, $1.7 million came from her congressional committee, and $500,000 from her political action committee. She even outpaced former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who’s noted for his fundraising strengths and is viewed by many as the party’s 2012 frontrunner. Romney raised $1.9 million in the first quarter of this year…Indeed, political insiders say Bachmann has distinguished herself from Palin and other GOP candidates by walking the walk with tea party activists. “She’s got so much money, and she’s a true believer. And she’s beaten the odds, repeatedly,” Sabato said. “She’s egged on by the media in a different way than Palin. Palin gets irritated, while Bachmann gets even. And she gets even by running.””

Let’s not keep making mistakes. First, a 3-term congresswoman? Power. That’s all I see. While the American people are continuously financing her life style, she’s gaining power and living high on the hog. Aren’t we tired of this? Weren’t Republicans trying to limit congressional terms to 2, and yet, they are supporting a 3-term candidate? Do you see the hypocrisy?

That’s the candidates. So far I haven’t seen any democrats stepping up to take on the hate-Americans agenda puppet.

The plot thickens. Now, there’s all this BS about the tea parties. As NewsMax stated “all three would-be candidates are forcing tea party activists to make some important decisions as they try to grow into a more enduring force in American politics.”

I don’t think you can force anyone to do anything. The tea party Americans are for what this country is suppose to be about—loyalty to God†, loyalty to the country, less taxes, and freedom. So, why is there so much hype about them? After all, we are all suppose to be Americans. After all, everyone living here claiming their citizenship by birth or other are enjoying all that America stands for. Shouldn’t everyone be fighting for the same thing?

My point is that when ideas like those the tea party goers had when they first began change radically, I begin to wonder who’s telling the truth. Newsmax reports that “early polls suggest that Trump is dominating the GOP field—among Tea Party activists and more mainstream Republican voters. A new PPP poll showed Trump leading his nearest GOP competitor by 9 points. (That’s likely a result of Trump’s towering name recognition; according to a Pew Research Center survey released Wednesday, 39 percent of Republicans named him as the potential candidate they’ve heard the most about lately. That was more than all other candidates—combined).”

Who’s giving and taking these polls? You mean to tell me that the very people who rallied for the Constitution are going to support a man who rented American land to a terrorist? I don’t believe that one for a second. I see the press pushing their agenda on innocent people. Again!

After all, the press pushed the puppet. They made him look like a saint while bashing a true, Christian (honest) candidate. They even went as far as turning the State of Alaska against her. Is this jealousy? Then the press made the puppet look like he was the next best thing to the invention of bread while bashing a war hero who honored America enough to suffer torture instead of giving up secrets! The press is known for supporting the release of secret information as they did during the Bush years after 9/11 putting the United States citizens at risk, not even thinking or caring about their actions. So, why do Americans even trust them anymore? They are not sticking to the ethics of true journalism. I bet over half of them don’t know what the word objectivity means. It’s all about fame and money!

I’m disappointed to say the least. We, as Americans, should have already recalled over half of the judicial branch and most of congress, and we should have forced the impeachment of the puppet. But no one is doing anything! My own family hates the fact that I write about politics and refuses to hear me when I talk about it. That says a lot to me.

We have lost the meaning of being an American. We have forgotten those who sacrificed for the freedoms we have. We are willing to give up the Constitution and our freedom so we don’t have to struggle with making decisions. “Oh, let someone else do it!” is the mind-set of today’s American. Oh, what a sad, sad world this is.

It’s time to step up to the plate. Put fear behind us and just do it! It’s now or never. Have American anyone?

Change?

Just take this last item—In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane 27 times faster, it would be doing 7,555 MPH! (Over 10 times the speed of sound) No wonder we did not see it!
