Boo-Hoo Boehner Screwed Us Again! – GOP leadership killed measure to defund Obamacare

Boo-Hoo BOEHNER
washingtonexaminer.com
As Republican senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, and James Inhofe prepare to introduce a measure to defund Obamacare — and threaten to hold up a continuing resolution to fund the U.S. government if the measure is not given a vote — some conservatives are unhappy that the House, controlled by Republicans, did not do the same thing.
It wasn’t for lack of effort, at least on the part of some conservative Republicans.  As the House prepared to consider its own version of the continuing resolution last week — it ultimately passed 267 to 151 — more than two dozen conservative GOP lawmakers signed on to an amendment that would have defunded Obamacare.  They submitted the amendment and hoped it would receive a vote but were stymied when the House leadership declared that no amendments would be allowed.

As Republican senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Marco Rubio, and James Inhofe prepare to introduce a measure to defund Obamacare — and threaten to hold up a continuing resolution to fund the U.S. government if the measure is not given a vote — some conservatives are unhappy that the House, controlled by Republicans, did not do the same thing.
It wasn’t for lack of effort, at least on the part of some conservative Republicans.  As the House prepared to consider its own version of the continuing resolution last week — it ultimately passed 267 to 151 — more than two dozen conservative GOP lawmakers signed on to an amendment that would have defunded Obamacare.  They submitted the amendment and hoped it would receive a vote but were stymied when the House leadership declared that no amendments would be allowed.
“If that amendment had gone to the floor, far and above a majority of the conference would have voted for it,” said Arizona Rep. Matt Salmon, one of the supporters, in an interview Saturday.  “I think everyone in the conference would have voted for it,” added Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis, another supporter.
Nevertheless, the Republican leadership did not allow the amendment to be considered.  And that, Salmon, DeSantis, and other conservative Republicans believe, is a measure of the leadership’s uneasiness with continuing the legislative fight against Obamacare.  Some Republicans — lawmakers who might have felt pressure to vote to defund Obamacare — believe privately that the fight is essentially over, and that the GOP should come to terms with the reality of national health care.
“I do think there’s a feeling in the conference among some folks who think that the 2012 election settled Obamacare, that we kind of need to move on,” said DeSantis.  “I’m on the other side.  I don’t think it did, because I don’t think it was a major issue in the campaign.”
The main reason that House leadership would not want a fight over defunding Obamacare was that it might scuttle chances of passing a continuing resolution, and thus bring up the prospect of a government shutdown.  “They want desperately to take the idea of a government shutdown off the table,” says Salmon of the GOP leadership.  “That message has been resonating loud and clear.”  Although Salmon, who was in the House in 1995 during the last such fight — doesn’t want a shutdown, he nevertheless believes it “might be the only leverage we have with Obama to get to what we have to do, which is entitlement reform.”
For his part, DeSantis believes that if the GOP signals that it will do anything to avoid a shutdown, it will have little leverage to enact significant reforms.  Obama, too, has something to fear from a shutdown, DeSantis suggested, if the public places some part of the blame at his feet.  “If we don’t have a shutdown, that’s great,” DeSantis said.  “I’m not advocating one.  But at the same time, I’m not going to act like that would be the worst thing ever.”
“I don’t think we should ever take it off the table,” added Salmon.  “I don’t have a trigger finger, where I’m itching to pull that trigger.  But the fact is, we should never, ever say that all options aren’t on the table.”
House leadership sources did not respond to a request for comment.

Holder Won’t Prosecute Palestinian Killers of 54 U.S. Civilians

Holder Won’t Prosecute Palestinian Killers of 54 U.S. Civilians

via Holder Won’t Prosecute Palestinian Killers of 54 U.S. Civilians | The Jewish Press.
News broke out last week that the US has captured Osama Bin-Laden’s son-in-law, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith. It appears that the former Al-Qaeda spokesman was picked up as he was traveling from Turkey to Amman.
Actually, supposed ally Turkey released him.
But in Amman, capital city of Jordan, resides a woman who was far more active than Abu Ghaith in killing and maiming American citizens. Ahlam Tamimi, described as a university student and part-time journalist, planned the Sbarro massacre of August 2001 in Jerusalem, and personally led the guitar-case carrying bomber to the crowded destination.
President Obama is planning to visit Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Amman, Jordan this month. He could do a great service in the fight against terrorism by publicly committing his administration to the active prosecution of Palestinians who willfully murdered and wounded American citizens. U.S. terror victims are not asking for favors; we are asking our government to bring justice to those who have been devastated by wanton Palestinian terror funded by U.S. tax dollars.
Fifteen people were murdered in the Sbarro massive explosion, including two American citizens, and another four Americans were wounded. Tamimi was arrested, tried, and sentenced to sixteen life sentences in Israeli jail. But in October, 2011, she went free as part of the deal Israel made to release captive soldier Gilad Shalit. Today, Tamimi sits in Amman where she has her own talk show. As to her role in the bombing, one can hear it in her own words:

President Obama is planning to visit Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Amman, Jordan this month. He could do a great service in the fight against terrorism by publicly committing his administration to the active prosecution of Palestinians who willfully murdered and wounded American citizens. U.S. terror victims are not asking for favors; we are asking our government to bring justice to those who have been devastated by wanton Palestinian terror funded by U.S. tax dollars.
This state of affairs is not due to a lack of information: from the 1993 signing of the Oslo Accords to 2006, the tail end of the “Second Intifada,” Palestinian terrorists have murdered 54 American citizens and wounded another 84—including this author and his son—a total of 72 separate terror attacks. The FBI dutifully opened files on every attack and a new office was opened in the Department of Justice to “monitor” such cases: the Office of Justice for Victims of Overseas Terrorism (OJVOT).
If anything should be abolished during the present “sequester,” it is this office: the number of Palestinian terrorists tried since this OJVOT came into existence in 2005 is equal to the number prior to that date: Zero.
When Israel was set to release hundreds of convicted terrorists in the aforementioned Shalit deal, I frantically contacted officials in the US government: the two women who brought “our” bomber to downtown Jerusalem were on the launch pad for release. The U.S. belatedly passed along to the Israeli government that no terrorist with American blood on his or her hands should be released. This note was given the day before the prisoner exchange. Needless to say, Israel ignored the request and not a word was said in Washington about the matter.
It’s all too clear Holder isn’t interested in pursuing these killers however Israel had in their custody these terrorists responsible for killing Americans and knowingly released them. They share in the blame.

Vitter Releases Gina McCarthy’s “Icing on the Cake” Email

Vitter Releases Gina McCarthy’s “Icing on the Cake” Email

In an email, disgraced former EPA regional administrator brags about EPA’s collective action to “shame states” and boasts that Gina McCarthy -- EPA CZAR“Gina’s new air rules” are the “icing on the cake”
March 12, 2013 U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, along with four other senators are demanding answers from Gina McCarthy, nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), on her involvement with Dr. Al Armendariz, former Region 6 EPA administrator, to shame states and punish traditional energy producers such as oil, natural gas and utilities like coal.
"It appears there's a collective strategy at the EPA to punish energy producers, but also an effort towards ‘shaming the states,'" Vitter said. "The EPA's nominee, Gina McCarthy, created a rule that was apparently the ‘icing on the cake,' to this shocking strategy. If she wants to become the Administrator, an immediate and fully transparent response to this is absolutely necessary."
Dr. Armendariz resigned his position in April 2012, soon after the public learned of his controversial statement that the "general philosophy" of EPA's enforcement policy should be to "crucify" oil and natural-gas companies.
Here is an excerpt of an email from Dr. Al Armendariz:
Thanks Bob. But don't worry about me personally. Because of our collective work (rules, enforcement, science, soft power) we have dozens of states (including Texas) with brand new disclosure requirements for fracking fluid chemicals, new state rules specific to hydrofracking regulation, new state well cement/casing requirements, and more state resources to conduct air emission inspections. Add to that tighter federal rules for gulf-off shore NPDES discharges, GHG reporting for fugitive methane and engaging USGS and state geo surveys to take seismic activity seriously.
None of this would [have] happened had the 2008 election gone the other way. None.
We have set things in motion, including empowering and shaming the states, to clean up the oil/gas sector. Further progress is inevitable. I am extremely proud of the work that we have done collectively. Gina's new air rules will soon be the icing on the cake, on an issue I worked on years before my current job. (emphasis added). Click here to view a pdf of the email.
Joining Vitter on the letter are U.S. Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), and John Boozman (R-Ark.).
The text of their letter is below. A PDF copy can be found here.
March 12, 2013
The Honorable Gina McCarthy
Assistant Administrator
Office of Air and Radiation
Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20004
Dear Assistant Administrator McCarthy:
As you are aware, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has been investigating the highly questionable tactics employed by former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6 Administrator, Dr. Al Armendariz. Dr. Armendariz resigned his position in April 2012, soon after the public learned of his controversial statement that the "general philosophy" of EPA's enforcement policy should be to "crucify" oil and natural-gas companies. At the time, the White House and EPA distanced themselves from Dr. Armendariz stating that "[Armendariz's] comments are inaccurate as a representation or characterization of the way the EPA has operated under President Obama." Moreover, the President ran on a pledge to support an "all of the above" energy strategy - which deploys our abundant oil, gas, and coal resources. However, the Committee has recently obtained documents that demonstrate Dr. Armendariz was not a rogue actor, out of step with EPA leadership. Rather, evidence has emerged that indicates Dr. Armendariz's controversial tactics were, in fact, part of a broader effort at EPA to coerce the States and to constrain the domestic fossil fuel industry with layers of bureaucratic red tape and intimidation tactics.
The Committee has learned that prior to his resignation, Dr. Armendariz emailed senior-level EPA officials and outlined numerous EPA efforts during his tenure that were designed to restrain domestic fossil fuel production, as proof that his mission at EPA had been accomplished. Dr. Armendariz expressly highlights your new air regulations, as the "icing on the cake." The email stated the following:
Thanks Bob. But don't worry about me personally. Because of our collective work (rules, enforcement, science, soft power) we have dozens of states (including Texas) with brand new disclosure requirements for fracking fluid chemicals, new state rules specific to hydrofracking regulation, new state well cement/casing requirements, and more state resources to conduct air emission inspections. Add to that tighter federal rules for gulf-off shore NPDES discharges, GHG reporting for fugitive methane and engaging USGS and state geo surveys to take seismic activity seriously.
None of this would [have] happened had the 2008 election gone the other way. None.
We have set things in motion, including empowering and shaming the states, to clean up the oil/gas sector. Further progress is inevitable. I am extremely proud of the work that we have done collectively. Gina's new air rules will soon be the icing on the cake, on an issue I worked on years before my current job. (emphasis added).
This email is alarming for a number of different reasons. In the first instance, it appears that there is a collective strategy at the EPA aimed at reining in domestic natural gas production. This strategy includes not just EPA's foiled attempts to punish natural gas producers[1] but also includes an effort towards "shaming the states." EPA's actions against Range Resources have been highlighted as an example of Armendariz's overly zealous persecution of the oil and gas industry. The EPA issued an emergency order in 2010 accusing Range Resources of contaminating an aquifer west of Fort Worth and giving it 48 hours to provide clean drinking water to residents. At the time, Armendariz circumvented state regulators actively investigating the situation citing in the emergency order that EPA had "determined" that State and local authorities had not taken sufficient action. The order later was withdrawn after a state court ruled evidence that hydraulic fracturing had caused the contamination had been falsified. We now know that far from being Armendariz's pet project - the highest levels of EPA were aware of and endorsed his actions. In one email recently obtained by the Committee, Assistant Administrator Cynthia Giles sent the following email to her colleagues:
Just wanted to say how impressed I am at the terrific work the Region did on the Range order...and thanks to the HQ folks for supporting the region on this and getting this done as one EPA. Great job all!
After EPA withdrew the order, both Giles and Bob Sussman, Senior Policy Counsel to the Administrator, sent Armendariz personal emails expressing their disappointment that EPA withdrew the order.
Moreover, it appears that "Gina's new air rules," presumably the New Source Performance Standards for Electric Generating Units proposed on March 27, 2012, are part of a deliberate strategy to shut down new electricity generation. Dr. Armendariz proudly declared that the NSPS rules are "icing on the cake" and achieved a goal he had "worked on years before my current job." While it is not clear from the email, it appears that Dr. Armendariz was boasting about EPA's decision to list petroleum coke (pet coke) in the definition of coal so pet coke-fired power plants would also be captured under the proposed NSPS rule. In addition to our concerns over the credibility of EPA's decision to regulate pet-coke as coal in the proposal without substantial evidence or appropriate findings in the administrative record, the proposed NSPS rule, which was prompted by a 2011 settlement agreement between several environmental groups - including the Sierra Club - and the EPA, effectively outlawed the construction of the Las Brisas Energy Center (LBEC) in Corpus Christi, Texas. Dr. Armendariz had previously worked for the Sierra Club in preparation for the public hearings against the LBEC. Thus, Dr. Armendariz's reference to an "issue I worked on years before my current job" seemingly refers to his work for the Sierra Club on LBEC. Despite this obvious conflict-of-interest, documents obtained by the Committee reveal that you in fact exchanged emails with Dr. Armendariz on January 12, 2011, about the LBEC.
We are also concerned that as Region 6 Administrator, Dr. Armendariz brought on two attorneys, Leyla Mansuri and Chrissy Mann, who previously litigated against the construction of electric generating units - specifically the LBEC. Prior to her appointment, Ms. Mansuri was an attorney with the Environmental Integrity Project, and represented the Sierra Club in its litigation against LBEC. Ms. Mann was also engaged in litigation against the LBEC in her role at the Office of Public Interest at TCEQ. It appears as if Dr. Armendariz commandeered the resources of the EPA to accomplish his goals of killing the LBEC, all with the consent and knowledge of EPA leadership.
As the President's nominee to be Administrator, we require your immediate attention to the questions that have been raised by these documents. Failure to respond in a prompt and fully transparent fashion will leave a cloud of doubt over whether you intend to break with your predecessor and truly lead a transparent agency. Accordingly, I request that the EPA provide any and all records, electronic or otherwise, of meetings, conversations, e-mails, letters, or other communications or documents referring or relating to the LBEC, including, but not limited to, all communications between you, Dr. Armendariz or any other EPA officials concerning the LBEC. Please provide the requested documents and responses to the following questions no later than March 22, 2013.
1. As you are aware, Dr. Armendariz previously served as an expert witness for the Sierra Club in a proceeding against the LBEC. While this presents a clear conflict-of-interest, he was permitted to work on EPA's permitting decisions related to LBEC and actively engaged EPA leadership on this issue. 
a. Please explain why he was allowed, at any time during his tenure, to work on matters relating to the LBEC. 
b. Please list all entities in which Dr. Armendariz had an identified conflict-of-interest. 
c. What are EPA's criteria for identifying a conflict-of-interest?
d. After a conflict-of-interest was identified, how was Dr. Armendariz screened from working on covered projects?
2. While Dr. Armendariz has resigned his position from EPA, Leyla Mansuri and Chrissy Mann are still employed by Region 6. Both of these individuals represented entities opposed to the construction and permitting of the LBEC. 
a. Has EPA identified conflict-of-interest for either Ms. Mansuri or Ms. Mann? Please list all topics in which EPA has identified a conflict-of-interest. 
b. Has either Ms. Mansuri or Ms. Mann worked on any matter related to the LBEC?
c. Has either Ms. Mansuri or Ms. Mann worked on the development of the NSPS rule for greenhouse gases for new power plants Electric Generating Units?
3. On July 12, 2011, Dr. Armendariz sent you and your Deputy Administrator, Janet McCabe, an email stating the following: "I am looking forward to seeing Janet tomorrow to talk about a couple of air issues. On last Friday last week I received guidance from OGC ethics office that I have been in the agency long enough that my "cooling off period" has lapsed on working on matters that I had previously worked on before joining the agency." The next ten paragraphs are redacted. Your response to this email - sent at 9:11pm on the same date is also redacted.
a. Please provide the Committee with an unredacted version of both emails. 
b. Did you or Janet McCabe ever discuss the LBEC with Dr. Armendariz, Ms. Mansuri, or Ms. Mann? If so, characterize the nature of the conversation and provide the Committee with all such communications. 
c. Did you or Janet McCabe ever discuss the NSPS for Electric Generating Units rule with Dr. Armendariz, Ms. Mansuri, or Ms. Mann? Please provide the Committee with all such communications referring or relating to these conversations.
4. What is your interpretation of Dr. Armendariz's comment that your "air rules" were "icing on the cake"?
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact the Committee on Environment and Public Works at (202) 224-6176.

Private Property Assault: New Blueways and Wildlands Programs Could End Up In Omnibus

Private Property Assault: New Blueways and Wildlands Programs Could End Up In Omnibus

Below is a critically important Letter to the Secretary of Interior from The House Western Caucus. They are complaining about how the Obama US Wildlands ProjectAdministration and the Secretary of Interior are Bypassing Congress to make new land use designations. This letter has huge ramifications for you. You must read it carefully. For understanding the threat to your private property rights, see videos below. (click map to enlarge)
The letter talks about two new Interior Department programs. 
1) The Wildlands Secretarial Order (3310) (PDF DOC 229.01 KB)that the House Natural Resources Committee tried to stop three years ago but it is not stopped. This is where the Interior Secretary is secretly creating Wilderness bypassing Congress.

2) The second is the new National Blueways System created by a new Secretarial Order (3321)(PDF Doc 229.01 KB). You are headed for a train wreck if you fail to contact both your Senators and your Congressman about these Secretarial Orders because they may secretly be added to one of the coming Omnibus Federal Lands Bills. 
Here is the letter from the House Western Caucus:

The Honorable Ken Salazar
Secretary of the Interior
Department of Interior
1849 C St NW
Washington, DC 20240
Dear Secretary Salazar
We are contacting you regarding our serious concerns surrounding the disturbing trend by which the Department of the Interior (DOI) continues to bypass Congress, and the public, in establishing new federal designations and policies.
As you know, Congress expressed its serious reservations of the Wildlands designation through a Secretarial Order. The creation of that new federal designation was highly controversial, lacked transparency, and was legally questionable. Congress subsequently blocked funding for the Order. *However, you have never rescinded the controversial Order.* 
On August 2, 2012 members of the Senate and House Western Caucuses sent you a letter expressing concerns regarding Bureau of Land Management Manuals 6310 and 6320, which mirrored the same rejected policies of Wildlands Secretarial Order 3310. 
These manuals were crafted without public input or notice. These members asked you to withdraw these manuals, and set up a briefing for them. The manuals were not withdrawn, nor was the briefing request even acknowledged by your department. We would like to request once again, a briefing by DOI for our offices on the status of these BLM manuals. 
Now it has come to our attention that on May 24 of last year, you signed Secretarial Order 3321 establishing the “National Blueways System.” 
This system, according to the Secretarial Order would – “provide a new national emphasis on the unique value and significance of a ‘headwaters to mouth’ approach to river management and create a mechanism to encourage stakeholders to integrate their land and water stewardship efforts by adopting a watershed approach.” 
The Order goes on further to state that it authorizes the establishment of an “intraagency National Blueways Committee to provide leadership, direction, and coordination to the National Blueways System.” 
Despite the Order stating that “Nothing in this Order is intended to be the basis for the exercise of any new regulatory authority,” given the lack of transparency by Interior to date, this disclaimer is of little comfort to communities that will be negatively impacted by a Blueways designation. 
In fact, the Order specifically injects federal agency policies and programs into the management of the designated watersheds when the Order states that: “Bureaus within Interior, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with their missions, policies, and resources, shall endeavor to align the execution of agency plans and implementation of agency programs to protect, restore, and enhance the natural, cultural, and/or recreational resources associated with designated National Blueways.” 
According to the Order, it appears that any watershed in the United States could be designated without any vote in Congress and without proper public notice. The Order states that: “Following consideration of recommendations made by the Committee, the Secretary may designate the river and its associated watershed as a National Blueway that will become part of the National Blueways System.” 
Water is the lifeblood of our communities, and it should be managed for the benefit of the community in a transparent fashion. While water law varies by region, non-navigable water is managed by the states, not the federal government. 
Any designation by a federal agency that directly or indirectly attempts to manage the non-navigable headwaters of many of our nation’s rivers, would be a usurpation of state authority. 
We urge you to immediately withdraw Secretarial Order 3321. We also encourage you to bring proposals to Congress that are creating new land and water designations so that we may consider them through the normal committee process and with public transparency. 
End of Western Caucus Letter.

Stop the Wildlands Project from Destroying Private Property

What could happen is that the Interior Department works with allies in the Senate and House to add the Wildlands Program and the National Blueways System to one of the coming Omnibus Federal Lands Bills. That is exactly how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid slipped the National Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) into law. Former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt set it up during the Clinton Administration as a Secretarial Order. 
As a reminder, the National Landscape Conservation System put a National Park like overlay over all BLM special areas like National Monuments, Wild and Scenic Rivers and areas like the Steens Mountain in Oregon thereby ignoring all the laws and special requirements and agreements covering those areas when they were created. The NLCS did a lot of damage to grazing and mining while cutting off access to millions of acres. The NLCS sat, largely dormant, until the opportunity came to sneak it into law and Harry Reid did it. That is exactly what is likely to happen to the National Wildlands Program and the new National Blueways System just set up by former Interior Secretary Salazar. 
Consider this about a National Blueways System: The National Blueways System is massive in scope. It covers rivers from their mouth to their source, the whole watershed. This isn’t just about river corridors. It's about entire river watersheds. Consider this: 
  1. The Columbia River Watershed is over 144 million acres and covers all of Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon all of Idaho, Western Montana and small parts of California, Utah and Wyoming. 
  2. The size of the Mississippi watershed is almost 300 million acres. 
Video Educational Series, please view in sequence, NOTE: There may be a slight delay before the videos play
You must defeat the National Blueways System. You can stop the National Wildlands Program. To be sure Congress does not sneak a curve ball by you, you must stop any of the small or large Omnibus Federal Lands Bills coming your way.
*Read the Action Items below carefully. * 
  • To create a giant Omnibus Federal Lands Bill, Harry Reid goes to each Senator to ask what bills he or she want to get passed. They give most Senators one or two bills and sometimes more.* 
  • Reid and other Senate Democrat leaders then combine these bills into one or more huge Omnibus Federal Lands Bills. 
  • Each Senator then simply looks the other way on the overall bill or bills as they come forward and does not object to bills he or she would ordinarily be opposed to. This process hurts you and gets a lot of bad legislation passed. 
  • This how these Secretarial Orders hurt you. First Obama or the Interior Secretary designate a program like Former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt did with the National Landscape Conservation (NLCS) the 1990s. 
  • Then a later Congress comes along and turns that Executive Order or Secretarial Order into law, often using the Omnibus Federal Lands Bill of that year. This assembly line gradually undermines and takes away your rights and liberty as well as your private property and the use of Federal lands. This process must be stopped. 

You can stop the Omnibus Federal Lands Bill. 

Reid and his running buddies are going to try to trick you. They are planning to put together several smaller Omnibus bills combining 5 or 10 bills each time that would ordinarily go into a full-blown Omnibus Federal Lands bill. 
They likely will not use the word Omnibus but will try to trick you and your Senators using other names to pass a series of smaller bills containing a few bills each. 
You need to discuss this strategy with your Senators and the key Senators listed below and make sure they are aware of this strategy and are prepared to head it off. 
Don’t think that because you have called once or twice that you are done. You must keep up the pressure*. 

Action Items: If you only read and get upset, it does nothing, please ACT:

  1. Please forward this to at least 10 other people. Your whole list if possible.
  2. Send a copy of this e-mail or just a copy of the Western Caucus letter to both your Senators and Congressman and their staff.
  3. Tape a copy of this e-mail to your refrigerator door so you can remember what you need to do to defeat any Omnibus Federal Lands bill.
  4. Call both your Senators at (202) 224-3121. That’s the Capitol Switchboard. Ask for your Senator by name. When the office answers, ask for the person who handles Federal Lands or Natural Resources. 
Ask for a commitment from your Senator to oppose any Omnibus Federal Lands Bill or mini versions with several land use or environment bills combined. 
Remind the staff that Wyden, Reid and others may try to pass bills a few at a time to sneak them by you. Each bill must be considered individually on its own merits and not combined into a Legislative Stew that no one reads and few have any idea what’s inside. 
5. Call your Congressman also. He or she must vote on the Omnibus Federal Lands Bill so get a commitment from his or her staff to oppose any Omnibus Federal Lands or Omnibus Environment Bill or bills. You may call any Congressman at (202) 225-3121. Follow the same instructions as above for the Senators. 
Your Senator can stop this bill or bills. All he or she must do is promise the Leadership that he or she will object or filibuster the bill. That will make the bill controversial. You must make the bill controversial. 
These Senators are especially important to stop any Omnibus Federal Lands bill or bills. Be sure to send a copy of the Western Caucus letter about the Wildlands Secretarial Order and the National Blueways Secretarial Order.

Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” By Executive Order March 13, 2013 by Daniel Noe 20 Comments inShare7 On July 2nd, 2008, Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he promised the creation and establishment of a “Civilian National Security Force.” He further promised it would be “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the US Military.”

Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force” By Executive Order

On July 2nd, 2008, Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he promised the creation and establishment of a “Civilian National Security Force.” He further promised it would be “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the US Military.”

Petrus Romanus is here!


This is a rush script from Raiders News Update and we’ll be able to give you more information as we analyze this fantastic fulfillment of prophecy.

1. To start with, remember as we have told audiences repeatedly, the only thing needed to fulfill the Prophecy of the Popes would be a Cardinal of Italian descent and the new Pope Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the son of Italian parents (Roman).

2. Even more important is that he is the first Jesuit Pope ever (or at least for a very long time, we are researching this) and this is a VERY important aspect of the prediction in our book because we said the name "Petrus Romanus" from the prophecy "implies this pope will reaffirm the authority of the Roman Pontiff over the Church and will emphasize the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Faith and the Roman Catholic Church above all other religions and denominations, and its authority over all Christians and all peoples of the world" (Petrus Romanus pgs 437-438). Concerning the Jesuits, their order was organized "to stop Protestantism from spreading and to preserve communion with Rome and the
successor of Peter..."

Also note this from Wikipedia:

The 35th General Congregation of the Society of Jesus convened on 5 January 2008 and elected Fr. Adolfo Nicolás as the new Superior General on 19 January 2008. A month after, the Pope (Benedict) received members of the General Congregation and urged them to "to continue on the path of this mission in full fidelity to your original charism" and asked them to reflect so as "to rediscover the fullest meaning of your characteristic 'fourth vow' of obedience to the Successor of Peter." For this, he told them to "adhere totally to the Word of God and to the Magisterium's task of preserving the integral truth and unity of Catholic doctrine." This clear identity, according to the Pope, is important so that "many others may share in your ideals and join you effectively and enthusiastically." The Congregation responded with a formal declaration titled "With New Fervor and Dynamism, the Society of Jesus Responds to the Call of Benedict XVI", whereby they confirmed the Society's fidelity to the Pope.

As a Jesuit, Bergoglio also makes the perfect Pope to fulfill our second book's (Exo-Vaticana) Chardinian Jesuit predictions who have been secretly arguing in favor of a coming an alien savior (MUCH MORE ON THAT WITH THE BOOK RELEASE NEXT WEEK).

Also note this Pope was elected on 3-13-13 at 8:13 (phenomenally occult numerology) Vatican time while specifically on this date (13th) Pan-STARRS (Pan-demonium, all the demons) appeared close to the moon, even silhouetting it according to SPACE.com stargazing columnist Geoff Gaherty, an astronomer with the Starry Night Education night sky software company.

Ben Shapiro's Groundbreaking Advice for the GOP: Demonize Obama

Breitbart News Editor-At-Large Ben Shapiro is out with an innovative and pioneering game plan for Republicans: attack Democrats. Shapiro spoke to Pat Robertson today on the 700 Club where he maintained that Republicans lost the last election because they didn’t try to demonize President Obama, who “painted Mitt Romney as the worst guy since Stalin.”
That’s right, according to Shapiro, Republicans were simply too afraid to criticize Obama during the campaign.
Shapiro offers even more brilliant advice later in the interview, where he told Republicans to respond to allegations of racism by calling Democrats “racist for boiling racism down to anything with which you disagree; what that does is it demeans racism and makes racism into something that means nothing and that’s something that Republicans need to do on a more regular basis.”
He said that unlike conservatives, liberals “don’t have facts or evidence to back their positions.”
This revolutionary strategy is on display at Breitbart News, which recently ran an “exposé” on the nonexistent Friends of Hamas and cited a satirical article claiming Paul Krugman had filed for bankruptcy.

OBAMAS PLAN KILL US ALL Democrats Demand Reinstatement of The Draft

Democrats Demand Reinstatement of The Draft

capitol-washington_dc (Copy)
By Sebastian A.B.
C4SS
March 13, 2013
“They talk about conscription as a democratic institution. Yes; so is a cemetery.” -Meyer London
“Democrats have always been the worst on slavery. ” -Gregory Anthony
The “Universal National Services Act” of 2013 (H.R. 748) was proposed by Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY) on February 15, 2013 and referred to the Subcommittee on Military Personnel on March 6th. The summary is as follows:
“To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 25 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or as civilian service in a Federal, State, or local government program or with a community-based agency or community-based entity, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to provide for the registration of women under the Military Selective Service Act, and for other purposes.” Full.
But the blue team are the good guys, right “liberals”?
The most disgusting manifestation of state power is the draft. The state asserts that you do not own your body or your fate — that you must be sacrificed, if need be, for the always intangible greater good. The fact is that “war is a racket,” according to Smedley Butler, and wars do not occur unless the elites of the aggressor nation believe they have something to gain. To think, the Nuremberg Trials did nothing to delegitimize “just following orders” — your taxes enforce penalties for not killing on command.
As racist and plutocratic as they mostly were, the Founding Patriarchs recognized that standing armies are very dangerous – hundreds of thousands of brainwashed, sexually frustrated and jingoistic men just itching to go kill something. These young men (and sexually threatened women) are inevitably taught that the enemy is subhuman. They yearn for the glory of triumphant bloodshed. War is a force that gives us meaning, to borrow Chris Hedges’ phrase. By contrast, civilians require a helluva compelling reason to set down their work, leave their families and risk their lives forming a militia to defend against aggression (inevitably by a state).
When authentic threats to one’s family or community arise, people don’t sit idle. There is a rifle behind every blade of grass – networked guerilla resistance was enough to deflect and drain the then-superpower U.S. in Vietnam and Afghanistan, it can happen again if necessary. When a community faces real military occupation, conscription is unnecessary — volunteers come by the droves — just look at the Sandinistas, Zapatistas, Hamas or Hezbollah. But they’re terrorists (meaning an armed force that the OECD does not recognize as legitimate), while the Mexican army, Israeli Offense Forces and Contras defend(ed) freedom and justice for all.
This bill can only be intended to curb youth unemployment and indoctrinate poor ethnically-oppressed kids before they pick up any dangerous and radical books. Since Vietnam, dismal economic opportunity for the disenfranchized working class has been sufficient to swell the ranks of the biggest welfare program ever — the armed forces. The corporation-state suppresses labor power, wages and makes capital artificially scarce via a cartelized monetary system and then offers you a great job killing brown people sitting on our natural resources.
Neocon hawks traditionally support conscription, but Democrats have been the marginally dovish party — what gives? The liberals are backing this one because they think it will induce people to do the right thing.
The term “national service” means–
(A) military service; or
(B) civilian service in a Federal, State, or local government program or with a community-based agency or community-based entity that, as determined by the President, is engaged in meeting human, educational, environmental, or public safety needs.
If you reject the legitimacy of nation-states, or that Congress can ever know what is in the “national interest,” too bad. If this bill is passed under the guise of a “New Civilian Conservation Corps” it will prove emphatically that geneticist Dr. Gerald Crabtree was correct, human intelligence is waning and nobody cares enough to read the Porcine, obscuritanist and tyrannical bills anymore.
This section should be particularly irksome to aspiring academics and graduate students:
(b) Post Secondary Students.– A person who is pursuing a standard course of study, on a full-time basis, in a university, technical school or similar institution of learning shall be entitled to have induction under this title postponed until the person–
(1) obtains a certificate or diploma;
(2) ceases to pursue satisfactorily such course of study; or (3) attains the age of 24.
If the few neurons you’ve managed to preserve despite the TV and aspartame were sufficient to graduate college and you want to immediately enter a PhD program, too bad for you. You’ve got to drop your aspirations and either pick up a gun for peace or engage in some meekly paid community service position for two years (should you survive them with your soul intact). You were always bothered by the fact that federal financial aid came with the stipulation that you sign up for Selective Service. Now you realize how contracts work.
And if you, like RT’s Thom Hartmann, naively think conscription is a democratizing force, ask yourself two questions: Are the wealthy elite capable of shirking “duty”? Is the Israeli Offense Force democratic? Given that polls show most Israelis and Palestinians alike oppose armed conflict, perhaps something about being inducted into the military leads one to look more favorably upon mass murder. Maybe it has something to do with the atrocious, dehumanizing anti-Islam curriculum taught in the military?
You might complain about your post in the new Civilian Service Corps: Is your pay inadequate? Is your assigned position benefitting a local elite rather than those truly in need? Tired of killing women and children? Suck it up, soldier, er, “public servant” – your wages are paid in glory to the fatherland and your self-determination is subject to congressional oversight.
“Now, friends, do you suppose for one minute that this Government is big enough and strong enough and powerful enough to stop men who will not engage in the war because they don’t want the war, because they don’t believe in the war, because they are not going to fight a war for Mr. Morgan? What is the Government going to do with them? They’re going to lock them up — You haven’t prisons enough to lock up all the people.
The ruling classes fight a losing game. The Wall Street men are fighting a losing game. They represented the past and we represent the future.
The future belongs to the young men, who are barely of age and barely realizing their freedom. The future belongs to the young girls and young boys. They must be free from militarism. They must be free from the military yoke. If you want war, help yourself. Fight your own battle. We are not going to fight it for you. ”- Emma Goldman, Speeches Against Conscription

Obama blames his guards for closing White House tours

Neil Munro
White House Correspondent
  
President Barack Obama is blaming the U.S. Secret Service for the politically damaging decision close the popular White House tours, and also suggested he would restart the tours.
“You know, I have to say this was not — a decision that went up to the White House,” he claimed in an interview broadcast Wednesday by ABC News.
“What the Secret Service explained to us was that they’re gonna have to furlough some folks,” he insisted to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos, who worked as top aide to the nation’s previous Democratic president, Bill Clinton.
His claim clashes with a March 7 statement by his press secretary, Jay Carney, who declared that “the White House made the decision that we would, unfortunately, have to temporarily suspend these tours.”
Obama is now trying to backtrack.
“Well, what I’m asking them is are there ways, for example, for us to accommodate school groups — you know, who may have traveled here with some bake sales,” he said. “Can we make sure that — kids, potentially, can — can still come to tour?”
Under the terms of the long-scheduled 2011 sequester, which was suggested by Obama, the federal government is cutting 1 percent of spending from the 2013 budget of $3.8 trillion, during the period from March to October.
In the weeks up to March 1, Obama and his aides pushed to win public backing for their demand that the sequester to be canceled and replaced by tax hikes. They forecast immediate and major economic pain and inconvenience for the public. The Department of Homeland Security released roughly 2,000 illegal-immigrant prisoners, and the Secret Service — which guards the White House — announced the closure of the White House tours.
The tour cancellation saved roughly $74,000 a week, or roughly one-millionth of the government’s weekly spending.
The Secret Service is part of the administration, and reports to President Obama. On March 4, Obama appointed a new chief to run the Secret Service.
The White House’s response failed to move public opinion or GOP votes, and even prompted a spate of skeptical articles from the establishment press.
The strategy also may have cost Obama much public support.
A series of recent polls show the public’s approval of Obama’s policies have lurched downwards. For example, a poll released March 13 by the Washington Post shows that only 44 percent of Americans support his economic policies.
That sour attitude has also effected Obama’s other top priorities. For example, only 45 percent of Americans now trust Obama “to do a better job handling immigration issues.” The poll also showed that 39 percent trust the GOP on immigration, and 9 percent trust neither Obama nor the GOP leadership.
Since his sequester strategy has failed, Obama has shifted his tactics to show him working with the GOP.
However, he has coupled that outreach with campaign-style criticism of the GOP’s economic plan, which has been developed by House budget chief Rep. Paul Ryan.
“I you look at what Paul Ryan does to balance the budget, it means that you have to voucherize Medicare; you have to slash deeply — into programs like Medicaid; you’ve essentially got to either tax middle-class families a lot higher than you currently are; or you can’t lower rates the way he’s promised,” he claimed in the ABC interview.
Many GOP leaders and supporters say that Obama’s mix of threats, diplomacy, walk-backs and rhetoric is intended to help him win a House majority in 2014, not to negotiate a long-term budget deal.
Obama likely bolstered that view in his ABC speech, partly because he repeatedly insisted that the nation’s high $16.7 trillion debt — up from $11 trillion in late 2008 — is not a major problem.
“We don’t have an immediate crisis in terms of debt. In fact, for the next ten years, it’s gonna be in a sustainable place,” he claimed in the ABC interview, during which he said that also that he would not seek to balance the budget anytime during the next decade.
