The pedigree of Beck’s circle reveals he is not a libertarian and does not believe in the Constitution

April 25, 2014
Glenn Beck, who fancies himself a libertarian, is working with corporate media insiders and a former CIA employee who flaunts his membership in the globalist Council on Foreign Relations. The objective of this group at the very heart of Beck’s operation, now readily apparent following the Cliven Bundy standoff, is to portray the Nevada rancher as a racist zealot, a member of a dangerous and outlaw sovereign citizen movement, and inseparable from violent and conspiracy crazed “militia” domestic terrorists. Beck’s campaign mirrors that of the Obama administration, Eric Holder’s Justice Department and the liberal media intelligentsia.
Beck and company are exploiting a carefully crafted meme manufactured in the intervening years since the Oklahoma City bombing by the Southern Poverty Law Center in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the establishment media. They are using this government created and SPLC disseminated mythology to foment discord within the patriot movement and also set the stage for a false flag event that will serve as a coup de grĂ¢ce that will destroy the movement.
The correlation between the Obama administration, the Justice Department and Beck became obvious as the standoff progressed, most notably when Beck began to repeat government talking points to attack Bundy and his supporters.
Establishment Talking Points
On April 13, as the Bundy standoff was in full swing, Becket Adams, writing for Beck’s The Blaze, openly echoed the government narrative. He attempted to disprove Senator Harry Reid’s connection to a Chinese energy firm and plans to build a solar plant on public land, an effort documented on April 11 by Infowars.com journalist Kit Daniels.
Beck and Adams also cited the debunked claim that the federal government owns and manages “public land” in Nevada (in direct violation of the Constitution) and insisted Bundy is breaking the law. This claim conforms to the narrative established by the federal government and its propaganda media.
In addition, Adams supported the claim pushed by the government and the establishment media that Bundy’s cattle grazing endangered a tortoise (in fact, as Adan Salazar demonstrates, the tortoise has benefited from cattle grazing).
Finally, Adams tried to argue the Bundy family was a threat to heavily armed BLM agents because they cited Ruby Ridge and Waco and, like millions of ranchers, farmers and other rural Americans, keep and use firearms. Adams’ commentary is nearly indistinguishable from rhetoric put out by Democrats (and, to a lesser degree, Republicans, including the Koch Brothers) and the establishment media. In fact, the establishment media dutifully ignored the story until it went viral in the alternative media and they were required to engage in damage control.
bewareOn his nationally syndicated radio show, Beck accused Alex Jones and Infowars of exploiting the Bundy affair as a catalyst to launch a violent revolution. “Quite honestly, some of the people from… uh, what’s that stupid website’s name? Infowars,” Beck said. “Because these guys were so deeply embedded with the Bundys, we thought there’s something wrong… if you don’t see these guys a mile away, that’s a red flag and it’s not a false flag (laughter). These guys are dangerous. They are looking for revolution, they’re looking for a fight, and keep those guys a million miles away. Anybody with any spiritual radar can see that one coming.”
Beck’s accusation appeared several days before Senate majority leader Harry Reid made similar remarks. Reid characterized Cliven Bundy and his supporters as armed “domestic terrorists.” In addition, Reid called for a “united front” against Bundy, a call that paralleled Beck’s remark Americans should reject Bundy’s stand against the federal government and should distance themselves from his supporters who Beck slandered as crazed followers of Alex Jones.
Finally, sounding like a spokesman for FEMA and the government, Beck advocated non-resistance to government tyranny during the standoff.
“This morning I got up and I saw some more news reports, and more people in America that are standing up now and crying for revolution, insurrection, arming yourself, and a call to arms,” Beck said on his radio program on April 15. “I will tell you I believe in the Second Amendment, and I will defend myself. I believe in the rights that we have. But I will tell you more than I believe in my rights, I believe in the responsibilities that we have to God. And God does not call anyone to anger. God does not call anyone to vengeance ever, ever, ever.”
Glenn Beck and Company: CIA, CFR and Establishment Media Insiders
Beck’s coterie is indisputably linked not only to the establishment media and its endless diversionary game of false left-right politics, but also the intelligence community. If this does not reveal the true nature of Beck’s operation, nothing does.
Buck Sexton. A Blazetv host, Sexton is Beck’s direct link to the CIA and the CFR. His LinkedIn profile states he worked for the agency from 2005 until 2010. He also spent time with the Council on Foreign Relations, the premier globalist organization operating as the shadow government, a fact revealed by Hillary Clinton.
Betsy Morgan. According to LinkedIn, she is the president of The Blaze and has a background serving the corporate media, from CEO of AOL’s Huffington Post to Senior Vice President of CBS Interactive. She has an MBA from Harvard Business School.
S. E. Cupp. She is one The Blaze’s program hosts.  She has an extensive background in establishment media circles, including The New York Times, MSNBC (where she was a talk show co-host), CNN, Fox News, and The New York Daily News. Describing herself as a “mainstream [establishment] conservative,” Cupp has criticized Ron Paul’s foreign policy views and his views on the Federal Reserve.
Laurie Dhue. She hosts The Blaze’s For the Record and is the channel’s primary news anchor. She also sports a background in establishment media. Dhue was a Fox News anchor and worked at MSNBC, a fact demonstrating how effortless the crossover is between so-called conservative and liberal circles in the establishment.
Dana Loesch. Another The Blaze media host demonstrating the linkage between corporate and faux alternative media. Loesch has appeared as a political commentator on Fox News, CNN, CBS, ABC and HBO. She left the St. Louis Tea Party after a failed attempt to get the organization to back an establishment candidate during a congressional race. In December, 2012 she sued Breitbart.com, claiming she endured a hostile work environment.
Considering the pedigree of Beck’s circle, it is obvious he is not a libertarian and he does not believe in the primacy of the Constitution. It is accurate to say Beck is working in concert with the government to sabotage patriotic Americans who believe the Bundy standoff and the armed and menacing reaction by the federal government represent a mortal danger. It is one worth drawing a line in the sand in response as Beck’s former colleague at Fox News, Andrew P. Napolitano, rightly said.

Report claims Eric Holder approved drone strike against Bundy ranch

Report claims Eric Holder approved drone strike against Bundy ranch

See also

On Friday, John Jacob Schmidt of Radio Free Redoubt said that according to Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, Attorney General Eric Holder has approved drone strikes against the Bundy ranch to take place some time in the next 48 hours. According to Schmidt, the information came from a source Oath Keepers has within the Department of Defense.
That source, according to the report, allegedly said Attorney General Eric Holder authorized what is known as a "hot drone strike" against the ranch. Such a strike, he added would effectively kill everyone at the ranch.
Schmidt said that as far as he could determine, there has been no attempt to follow through with the alleged threat. He also expressed hope that a planned strike against Americans on U.S. soil could be averted.
According to a post at The Liberty Beacon, Rhodes said feds are treating the Bundy ranch situation like a bomb threat in a school. Leslie Bishop Paul, the national administrator of Oath Keepers, said on Facebook the information "may, or may not" be valid, but hoped that "sunlight' would cause federal agencies to back down from such an act.
"Pray it isn't true and pray it never happens," Paul added.
Liberty Beacon went on to say that such a move by the government would be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. The blog went on to suggest that the information might be intended to provoke violence, giving the government reason to impose martial law.
"So is this disinformation to get the boots on the ground to evacuate the scene so that BLM people can move in Waco style, or is it absolute bull to have us put out false info and destroy our credibility," the blog asked. During an interview with Schmidt, Rhodes said it is possible the report could be part of a disinformation campaign. The person who reportedly gave the information, he said, believes what he heard.
Rhodes also said that Holder felt justified in his decision, based on comments made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. As we reported last Friday, Reid called Bundy supporters "domestic terrorists."
Attempts to obtain comments from the Department of Justice have so far been unsuccessful. The entire 20-minute report can be heard here.

Ga. Congressman says VA secretary should be fired for patient deaths

Ga. Congressman says VA secretary should be fired for patient deaths


Eric Shinseki
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki was on Capitol Hill on Thursday to testify before Congress about the VA budget.
WASHINGTON —
A Georgia congressman is reacting to an interview he saw Thursday on Channel 2 Action News.

Channel 2’s Justin Gray spoke exclusively to the head of the Veterans Administration about the management problems at the Atlanta VA Medical Center linked to patient deaths.

Gray talked to Rep. David Scott Friday in Washington, who is demanding that the VA secretary resign.

Scott said he is not satisfied with the answers VA Secretary Eric Shinseki gave about the patient deaths at the VA hospital in DeKalb County.

Scott has personally asked President Barack Obama to fire Shinseki.

“How in the world can he even begin to say he has his hands on the problem when he hadn't even set foot there,” Scott said.

Channel 2 action news was the first to report on Veterans Affairs department audits that linked the deaths of three vets to mismanagement in the mental health unit at the Atlanta facility.

On Thursday, Shinseki told Gray the Atlanta VA is now in better shape.

“I believe we have the right leadership in place and the appropriate changes are being made,” Shinseki said.

But Scott said he thinks Shinseki himself and other top managers should lose their jobs.

“The buck starts at the top,” Scott said.

Sources tell Channel 2 Action News that seven staff members were given written reprimands. Two, including the hospital's director, retired.

But Scott said that's not enough.

“Those families right now have question marks as to whether they want their sons or daughters in the VA hospital and that is a damn shame,” Scott said.

“Do you think heads should roll?” Gray asked.

“Heads should roll, they should have been rolled,” Scott said.

An audit by the VA's own inspector general found that the Atlanta VA Medical Center has completed seven of the 19 changes that were recommended after Channel 2's original investigation last year.

Veterans rally over concern about medical care

Veterans rally over concern about medical care

by Dennis Welch, 3TV Political Editor

Updated Thursday, Apr 17 at 12:35 PM

PHOENIX -- Dozens of military veterans held a rally outside the VA Medical Center in Phoenix on Wednesday following reports that as many as 40 veterans may have died while waiting for medical care.
The veterans are calling for a change to the system.
Many place the blame on Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake for not keeping an eye on the federally-run hospital.
Phoenix veteran Steven Shockome said he tried warning the politicians about problems plaguing the VA years ago.
"How many lives could have been saved if Senator Flake and Senator McCain would have investigated back in '07," said Shockome.
The Department of Veterans Affairs released a report last week showing that two veterans in Phoenix died waiting for medical treatment, but one congressman says that number is a lot higher and is calling for a full-blown investigation into the Phoenix veterans hospital.

In congressional hearing, Florida Rep. Jeff Miller questioned a report that found 27 veterans across the country died because of long wait times for health care at the VA.
The revelations prompted the advocacy group Concerned Veterans for America to call for the rally in Phoenix.
"If they're hiding stuff that person needs to be held accountable," said Vietnam veteran Oscar Urrea.
Urrea said he has had friends die at the VA hospital because of botched care and he says the protest is the start of a movement.
Senators McCain and Flake have scheduled a news conference for 12 p.m. on Friday to discuss the Veterans health care system in Phoenix.
Phoenix VA hospital under fire for alleged delayed medical care

VA Received Backlog Manipulation Warnings in 2012

VA Received Backlog Manipulation Warnings in 2012

Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki
Allegations that veterans died awaiting care at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Arizona comes two years after a former VA official warned Congress that manipulation of patient appointments was a systemic problem.
Nicholas Tolentino, a former mental health administrator at the VA Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire, said in April 2012 that VA hospital managers across the country regularly sought loopholes to get around meeting performance requirements.
The officials also had a financial incentive to game the system, since the numbers were tied to bonuses worth thousands of dollars a year, said Tolentino, an Iraq and Afghanistan combat vet who served 14 years in the Navy before being medically retired.
"The upshot of these all too widespread practices is that meeting a performance target, rather than meeting the needs of the veteran, becomes the overriding priority in providing care," he told Congress.
Veterans' organizations on Thursday had harsh words for the VA over a CNN report that 40 vets died awaiting care at the Phoenix, Arizona hospital, including many on a secret list intended to hide just how long patients were waiting to see a doctor.
The hidden list, which numbered between 1,400 and 1,600 names, was separate from an official wait list that was reported back to VA headquarters in Washington, CNN reported.
CNN's source for its information is Dr. Sam Foote, who recently retired after a 24-year career with the Phoenix VA hospital. CNN said it confirmed Foote's information with several other high-level VA staffers.
"Regarding VA leadership in Phoenix, there is zero trust in their ability to lead, much less to properly care for America's heroes," Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commander William A. Thien said on Thursday. "If the allegations of veterans dying as a result of this internal process are true, then the individuals responsible should be prosecuted criminally to the fullest extent of the law. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs needs to fire them all, then let the lawyers sort it out."
American Legion National Commander Daniel Dellinger said the Phoenix report, if true, "is a new low in a string of breakdowns at VA medical centers, recalling the avoidable deaths of patients at VA hospitals in Columbia, South Carolina, Augusta, Georgia, and Jackson, Mississippi.
"We're going to find out what happened in Phoenix," Dellinger said. "We are going to find out who was responsible for this secret list and if they are still working for VA. These preventable deaths keep mounting, and yet we see not a single VA manager being held accountable."
Paul Rieckhoff, executive director and founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, called the allegations at Phoenix VA "shockingly unacceptable."
The VA did not comment on any of the specifics in the CNN report, but in a statement Thursday, VA spokesman Drew Brookie said the Phoenix hospital is taking the allegations very seriously. He said officials there have asked the VA Office of the Inspector to conduct a comprehensive investigation.
He also said the VA has sent a team of clinical experts to the Phoenix facility to review appointment scheduling procedures and the existence of any delays in care.
"If these reviews find any areas that need to be improved, VA will address them swiftly, as our mission is to provide the best care possible to our veterans," Brookie said.
Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, said his panel will hold a hearing on the Phoenix allegations once the IG completes its investigation.
In his testimony two years ago Tolentino referenced an Electronic Waiting List that sounds very much like the secret list that is being reported by CNN. The purpose of the EWL is so that VA officials can "track demand versus the availability of services," Tolentino testified.
In the case of the Manchester VA hospital, however, the list was not secret – it was non-existent because management did not want to know the numbers.
Tolentino told Congress that hospital managers "officially ordered" that the electronic list was not to be used under any circumstances.
Tolentino said offering bonuses to managers to make sure they met performance requirements "creates a perverse administrative incentive to find and exploit loopholes ... that will allow the facility to meet its numbers without actually providing the services or meeting the expectation the measure dictates."
Whenever new requirements are issued Veterans Integrated Service Network leaders, facility managers, quality management staff, and service line staff start looking for workarounds, he said.
CNN, in its Wednesday report, said that Phoenix VA director Sharon Helman earned a $9,345 bonus in 2013, on top of her annual salary of $169,900.
The VA has come under fire for years over long wait times for veterans seeking care.
Last month, the department was forced to defend itself against allegations the Lost Angeles VA Medical Center purged its records system of thousands of medical appointment requests starting in 2009.
A former Marine working as a scheduling clerk at the hospital told The Daily Caller that he was ordered to delete the appointments to make it appear the center was not way behind in getting vets in for requested appointments, particularly for MRIs.
VA spokesman Drew Brookie said the deletions were properly done after an extensive review. VA policy is that if patients do not show up for appointments or fail to respond to scheduling attempts, the test orders are discontinued after 12 months because anything older than that would not be medically relevant.

New ID Cards for Vets Enrolled in VA Health Care

A man hands an ID card to a woman at a desk
Your new card has additional security features and a different look and feel.
by Hans Petersen, VA Staff Writer
Monday, February 24, 2014
VA is introducing a new, secure identification card called the Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC). VHIC replaces the Veteran Identification Card (VIC), which was introduced in 2004.
VA is committed to providing the high quality, safe and effective health care Veterans have earned and deserve, and part of this effort includes ensuring the personal security of Veterans.
As part of a phased rollout, on February 21, 2014, VA began issuing the newly designed, more secure VHIC to newly enrolled and other Veterans who were not issued a VIC. Starting in April VA will begin a replacement effort to automatically mail the more secure VHIC to Veterans who have the old VIC.
All Veterans who are enrolled and have the old card should have their new replacement card by July.
VA expects to complete mailings of the replacement VHICs by July. To ensure receipt of the new VHIC, enrolled Veterans should make sure that VA has their correct mailing address.
The new VHIC is distinguished by additional security features and will have a different look and feel. The Social Security number and date of birth were removed from the barcode and magnetic strip. Similar to a typical health insurance card, the VHIC displays the Veteran’s Member ID and branch of service emblem, a new unique identifier, as well as a Plan ID which reflects the Veteran’s enrollment in VA health care.
The VHIC is for use in VA medical facilities and does not authorize or pay for care at non-VA medical facilities.
Example of the front of an ID card, showing the VA logo, a flag, portrait of a woman, Army insignia and Text: Member ID 1234567890,Plan ID (80840) 1234567890, Member Jane D Sample, VA healthcare enrollee, service connected, medal of honor, purple heart,former POW
Detail view of the front of the new card

Your Current Card is Good until You Receive Your New Card

Veterans can continue to use their current VIC card until their new VHIC is received as VA health care applications have been enhanced to read both the new VHIC as well as the old card. VA recommends Veterans safeguard their VIC as they would a credit card, and cut up or shred the card once it is replaced with the new VHIC.
If enrolled in VA health care, a Veteran who does not currently have a VIC can request a VHIC at their next VA health care appointment. In order to ensure your identity, you’ll need to present an appropriate form of ID, such as your driver’s license. And while you’re there make sure that your record is updated with your current address. Your VHIC will be mailed to you, generally within 5-7 days.
If you are not enrolled with the VA and want to receive a VHIC, you will need to apply for enrollment. You can do that online (which is the fastest way to apply for enrollment) at www.va.gov/healthbenefits/enroll. You can also apply by phone at 1-877-222-VETS (8387), by mail or in person at your local VA health care facility. Of course, you will need to go to your local VA to have your picture taken. Veterans who were issued a VIC do not need to return to their VA medical center to have a photo taken for the VHIC.
Veterans find it is convenient to bring in their identification documents and get their picture taken for their VHIC at their first scheduled appointment. Be sure to bring an appropriate form of ID such as your driver’s license. Once your enrollment is confirmed, your new VHIC will be mailed to you, generally within 5-7 days.
For more information, you may contact us at 1-877-222-VETS (8387), you may visit your local VA medical facility Enrollment Coordinator or you may find more information online at www.va.gov/healthbenefits/vhic.

99 Years of Islamic Genocide of Armenian Christians, Obama breaks promise to acknowledge Armenian genocide

99 Years of Islamic Genocide of Armenian Christians, Obama breaks promise to acknowledge Armenian genocide

25 Comments
Armenian genocide
Almost 100 years and millions dead, but still the Muslim world refuses to call it a genocide. Worse, the Turks will prosecute anyone who does. That’s how far the Muslim world has come in the past 100 years. Stuck. in. savagery.
And the West still wrestles with whether to call the Armenian Genocide a genocide. Shame on us. For 6th year in a row, Obama breaks promise to acknowledge Armenian genocide.
For the sixth year in a row, President Barack Obama has broken his promise to the Armenian community, made when seeking their votes as a senator and a presidential candidate, to use the word “genocide” to describe the massacre of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Empire a century ago. He did this in deference to the government of Turkey, which – historical revisionism aside – the Obama administration regards as a more crucial ally.
Shame on Obama. Shame on Abe Foxman of the ADL, who refuses to call it a genocide, but his flapping tongue lambastes me and others whose lifework is truth in the defense of freedom.
Adolf Hitler was inspired by the Islamic genocide of the Armenian Christians and the silence that followed it.
It is well known by genocide scholars that in 1939 Adolf Hitler urged his generals to exterminate members of the Polish race.[1]Who speaks today of the extermination of the Armenians?” Hitler asked, just a week before the September 1, 1939 invasion of Poland.[2]
Still, there is evidence that the massacre of the Ottoman Armenians helped persuade the Nazis that national minorities posed a threat to empires dominated by an ethnic group such as the Germans or the Turks. Furthermore, these minorities could be exterminated to the benefit of the perpetrator with little risk. Indeed, it was German officials who had smuggled out of the Ottoman Empire the leaders of the Young Turk regime, culpable for the deaths of over a million Armenians and a million or more other Christian minorities such as the Assyrians and Greeks.[5] Diverse historical evidence suggests that Hitler viewed the Armenians and Poles as analogous; in several ways, his statement about the Armenians was consistent with his other beliefs and writings.

Silence is sanction.
AINA Editorial
99 Years of Turkish Genocide
(AINA) — On April 24, 1915 the Turkish genocide of Assyrians, Greeks and Armenians began very simply, without pomp and circumstance. “We have made a clean sweep of the Armenians and Assyrians of Azerbaijan.” Those were the words of Djevdet Bey, the governor of Van Province in Ottoman Turkey, who on April 24, 1915 lead 20,000 Turkish soldiers and 10,000 Kurdish irregulars in the opening act of the genocide of Assyrians, Armenians and Pontic Greeks. In three short years, 750,000 Assyrians (75%) would be killed, 1.5 million Armenians and 500,000 Greeks.On April 24 Assyrians, Greeks and Armenians will commemorate the 99th anniversary of the genocide with vigils, church services, lectures, demonstrations and personal reflection.
Much progress in recognizing the genocide has been made throughout the world since 1915. Many states officially recognize the Armenian genocide. Australia and Sweden have officially recognized the Assyrian genocide — called Seyfo (sword) in Assyrian. The International Genocide Scholars Association Officially Recognized the Assyrian and Greek Genocides (AINA 2007-12-15
But recognition for the genocide by the most important country has not been made. Turkey has not only denied the genocide, but has actively worked to block its recognition throughout the world. In February, 2013 the Turkish EU minister Egemen Bagis compared the Assyrian genocide with the act of masturbation (AINA 2013-02-26).
That the genocide occurred is beyond dispute1. The evidence comes from multiple sources. The genocide was recorded by Arnold Toynbee, famed British historian, as well as countless American and German missionaries. Toynbee’s document runs for more than 600 pages and is entitled, “Arnold Toynbee Papers and Documents on the Treatment of Armenians and Assyrian Christians by the Turks, 1915-1916, in the Ottoman Empire and North-West Persia.” The national archives of the British, French and American states contain a large collection of documents related to the genocide. The Diplomatic French archives, for example, included 45 volumes on the Assyrian question from 1915 to 1940.
There is also the testimony of thousands of Assyrian, Greek and Armenian survivors.
Joseph Zaya (1906-2006) survived the genocide. He was born in a village in the Hakkary mountains (presently South-Eastern Turkey). The Ottoman Empire was something he lived in until the age of nine, when, in the face of genocide, he and his family was forced to flee. He remembered it vividly: long marches, hunger, starvation, butchery, impalement, burning.
“I lost my brother and his wife and four kids right in front of my eyes. Three Kurds and two Turks dragged my brother out and cut off his arms, right in front of me and his wife and kids. They then proceeded to rape his wife and eleven year old daughter, all the while looking at him and taunting him. After which they shot all of them. But they spared me. I don’t know why.”
“During our escape through the mountains,” he continued, “I remember the bodies strewn on both sides of the path. Most women and children were crying but would not dare stop to care for the sick and dead because they knew the Turkish and Kurdish armies were behind them. I remember a child on the side of the road suckling on his already dead mother who had died with her arms around him. That image has haunted me all my life. This is something that we Assyrians should never forget, and the world should not forget it, either.”
No objective inquisitor can deny this horrific genocide occurred, the first of the twentieth century. Yet Turkey’s official policy, which it pursues zealously, is to do exactly that. For Turkey, the genocide did not occur, what occurred was “civil strife.” Turkey even goes as far as claim the Armenians mounted an insurrection and hence it was war and they were only casualties of war. This is not true, but even if it were, how would that explain the massacres of Assyrians and Greeks? They never rose against the Ottoman state. They remained loyal subjects until at last they realized their fate, and only then started literally defending their lives.
Ninety nine years later, most of the world has come to accept that genocide was perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks. Even the Kurds, who did most of the actual killing during the genocide, have admitted it. On April 23, 1995 the Parliament of Kurdistan in Exile issued a statement saying “Let history note that we at the Parliament of Kurdistan in Exile share the pain of the survivors and their relations. We unequivocally denounce the act and condemn the perpetrators of this inhumanity, the Ottomans and their collaborators of the Kurdish auxiliary forces. We urge you all to do the same” (AINA 4-23-1995).
But Turkey still refuses to come to terms with its past. In November of 2000, an Assyrian priest from St. Mary’s Syrian Orthodox Church in Diyarbakir, Turkey was arrested for affirming the Assyrian genocide of 1915. Fr. Yusuf was interviewed by reporters from the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet during deliberations in the U.S. Congress regarding HR 596, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The reporters apparently had hoped to quote a Christian priest denying the validity of the Assyrian-Armenian-Greek Holocaust of 1915, but instead were angrily surprised by Fr. Yusuf’s defiant affirmation. Fr. Yusuf’s defiance has itself surprised those who have described him as an otherwise gentle and amicable man of faith. Following the interview, the Hurriyet reporters printed an inflammatory article with a photograph of Fr. Yusuf holding a cross under the headline “A Traitor Amongst Us” (AINA 11-23-2000).
For Assyrians, Greeks and Armenians, the genocide has not ended, it cannot end so long as Turkey denies the genocide. The psychological wounds cannot be healed if the crime is not acknowledged by the perpetrator.
The genocide did not end in 1918, it continues to this day. It has been 99 years of genocide.

Lies , lies and more lies, always to cover for monstrous Islamic war crimes.
But no worries. CNN says that the kidnapping of hundreds of school girls by jihadists “isn’t shocking.” The soulless enemedia. My fellow human beings, it is shocking and savage.
“Parents say 234 girls missing from Nigerian school kidnapping by extremists, not 85 reported,” AP
Parents say 234 girls are missing from the northeast Nigerian school attacked last week by Islamic extremists, up significantly from the 85 reported by education officials.
The higher figure came out Monday, a week after the kidnappings, when the Borno state governor insisted a military escort take him to the town. Parents told the governor that officials would not listen to them. Security officials had told Gov. Kashim Shettima that it was too dangerous for him to drive to Chibok, 130 kilometers (80 miles) from Maiduguri, the Borno state capital and birthplace of the Boko Haram terrorist network blamed for the abductions.
The discrepancy in the figures could not immediately be resolved

He converted to Islam and ended up killing himself in a jihad attack in Syria. His conversion to Islam led him to embrace hatred for the kaffir, and ultimately to devote his life to jihad warfare against them. He was a criminal who had served time in prison before his conversion to Islam, and his conversion only reinforced his hateful, violent, and anti-social tendencies.
GermanRapper“German rapper turned Islamist militant killed in Syria suicide attack,” AFP, April 22, 2014 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BEIRUT // A German former rapper who joined jihadists fighting in Syria has been killed in a suicide bombing carried out by rival fighters.
Denis Mamadou Cuspert, who rapped under the name Deso Dogg but took on the name Abu Talha Al Almani in Syria, was reported to have been killed in a suicide attack on Sunday in an eastern province.
He was a member of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and was reportedly killed in a double suicide bombing carried out by Al Nusra Front, a rival Islamist militant group that is Al Qaeda’s Syria affiliate.
Messages posted on militant internet forums announced his death.
“The Islamic nation is bleeding with the news of the martyrdom of the jihadist fighter, brother Abu Talha Al Almani. May he be accepted by God,” one message read.
“His death is the result of a suicide bombing carried out by the traitorous soldiers of (Nusra chief Abu Mohammed Al) Jolani against a house in which a number of ISIL brothers were staying,” it added.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a British-based monitoring group, also reported the suicide attack carried out on Sunday.
“Two members of Al Nusra Front blew themselves up the day before yesterday, killing 16 ISIL fighters,” Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Abdel Rahman said a fighter known as Abu Talha was among those killed in the attack in Deir Ezzor province near the boundary with Hasakeh province.
Since early January, ISIL has been in open combat with Al Nusra and other Islamist and moderate rebel groups, who accuse it of abuses against rival opposition fighters as well as civilians.
Both ISIL and Al Nusra have reportedly targeted each other with suicide attacks

Glenn Beck, who fancies himself a libertarian, is working with corporate media insiders and a former CIA employee who flaunts his membership in the globalist Council on Foreign Relations. The objective of this group at the very heart of Beck’s operation, now readily apparent following the Cliven Bundy standoff, is to portray the Nevada rancher as a racist zealot, a member of a dangerous and outlaw sovereign citizen movement, and inseparable from violent and conspiracy crazed “militia” domestic terrorists. Beck’s campaign mirrors that of the Obama administration, Eric Holder’s Justice Department and the liberal media intelligentsia.
Beck and company are exploiting a carefully crafted meme manufactured in the intervening years since the Oklahoma City bombing by the Southern Poverty Law Center in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security, the Justice Department and the establishment media. They are using this government created and SPLC disseminated mythology to foment discord within the patriot movement and also set the stage for a false flag event that will serve as a coup de grĂ¢ce that will destroy the movement.
The correlation between the Obama administration, the Justice Department and Beck became obvious as the standoff progressed, most notably when Beck began to repeat government talking points to attack Bundy and his supporters.
Establishment Talking Points
On April 13, as the Bundy standoff was in full swing, Becket Adams, writing for Beck’s The Blaze, openly echoed the government narrative. He attempted to disprove Senator Harry Reid’s connection to a Chinese energy firm and plans to build a solar plant on public land, an effort documented on April 11 by Infowars.com journalist Kit Daniels.
Beck and Adams also cited the debunked claim that the federal government owns and manages “public land” in Nevada (in direct violation of the Constitution) and insisted Bundy is breaking the law. This claim conforms to the narrative established by the federal government and its propaganda media.
In addition, Adams supported the claim pushed by the government and the establishment media that Bundy’s cattle grazing endangered a tortoise (in fact, as Adan Salazar demonstrates, the tortoise has benefited from cattle grazing).
Finally, Adams tried to argue the Bundy family was a threat to heavily armed BLM agents because they cited Ruby Ridge and Waco and, like millions of ranchers, farmers and other rural Americans, keep and use firearms. Adams’ commentary is nearly indistinguishable from rhetoric put out by Democrats (and, to a lesser degree, Republicans, including the Koch Brothers) and the establishment media. In fact, the establishment media dutifully ignored the story until it went viral in the alternative media and they were required to engage in damage control.
bewareOn his nationally syndicated radio show, Beck accused Alex Jones and Infowars of exploiting the Bundy affair as a catalyst to launch a violent revolution. “Quite honestly, some of the people from… uh, what’s that stupid website’s name? Infowars,” Beck said. “Because these guys were so deeply embedded with the Bundys, we thought there’s something wrong… if you don’t see these guys a mile away, that’s a red flag and it’s not a false flag (laughter). These guys are dangerous. They are looking for revolution, they’re looking for a fight, and keep those guys a million miles away. Anybody with any spiritual radar can see that one coming.”
Beck’s accusation appeared several days before Senate majority leader Harry Reid made similar remarks. Reid characterized Cliven Bundy and his supporters as armed “domestic terrorists.” In addition, Reid called for a “united front” against Bundy, a call that paralleled Beck’s remark Americans should reject Bundy’s stand against the federal government and should distance themselves from his supporters who Beck slandered as crazed followers of Alex Jones.
Finally, sounding like a spokesman for FEMA and the government, Beck advocated non-resistance to government tyranny during the standoff.
“This morning I got up and I saw some more news reports, and more people in America that are standing up now and crying for revolution, insurrection, arming yourself, and a call to arms,” Beck said on his radio program on April 15. “I will tell you I believe in the Second Amendment, and I will defend myself. I believe in the rights that we have. But I will tell you more than I believe in my rights, I believe in the responsibilities that we have to God. And God does not call anyone to anger. God does not call anyone to vengeance ever, ever, ever.”
Glenn Beck and Company: CIA, CFR and Establishment Media Insiders
Beck’s coterie is indisputably linked not only to the establishment media and its endless diversionary game of false left-right politics, but also the intelligence community. If this does not reveal the true nature of Beck’s operation, nothing does.
Buck Sexton. A Blazetv host, Sexton is Beck’s direct link to the CIA and the CFR. His LinkedIn profile states he worked for the agency from 2005 until 2010. He also spent time with the Council on Foreign Relations, the premier globalist organization operating as the shadow government, a fact revealed by Hillary Clinton.
Betsy Morgan. According to LinkedIn, she is the president of The Blaze and has a background serving the corporate media, from CEO of AOL’s Huffington Post to Senior Vice President of CBS Interactive. She has an MBA from Harvard Business School.
S. E. Cupp. She is one The Blaze’s program hosts.  She has an extensive background in establishment media circles, including The New York Times, MSNBC (where she was a talk show co-host), CNN, Fox News, and The New York Daily News. Describing herself as a “mainstream [establishment] conservative,” Cupp has criticized Ron Paul’s foreign policy views and his views on the Federal Reserve.
Laurie Dhue. She hosts The Blaze’s For the Record and is the channel’s primary news anchor. She also sports a background in establishment media. Dhue was a Fox News anchor and worked at MSNBC, a fact demonstrating how effortless the crossover is between so-called conservative and liberal circles in the establishment.
Dana Loesch. Another The Blaze media host demonstrating the linkage between corporate and faux alternative media. Loesch has appeared as a political commentator on Fox News, CNN, CBS, ABC and HBO. She left the St. Louis Tea Party after a failed attempt to get the organization to back an establishment candidate during a congressional race. In December, 2012 she sued Breitbart.com, claiming she endured a hostile work environment.
Considering the pedigree of Beck’s circle, it is obvious he is not a libertarian and he does not believe in the primacy of the Constitution. It is accurate to say Beck is working in concert with the government to sabotage patriotic Americans who believe the Bundy standoff and the armed and menacing reaction by the federal government represent a mortal danger. It is one worth drawing a line in the sand in response as Beck’s former colleague at Fox News, Andrew P. Napolitano, rightly said.

“Easter day rape of 7 year old Pakistani Christian girl,” British Pakistani Christian Association, April 26, 2014
Here is a report of another Christian girl that was raped in Pakistan. The report was received from Advocate Mushtaq Gill and is copied in verbatim:
Sialkot: On Easter Day, Saira,a Christian girl (7 yrs), was raped by one Muslim man Mohammad Fakhar Alam alias Phool in village Mahly Ki Tehsil Daska District, Sialkot.
The little girl was not hospitalized for three days despite severe bleeding .Two Muslim Landlords Mr. Ahmad Yar Nagra and Mr.Zulifqar Nagra pressurized her family not to file a complaint against the rapist.
On 22 April the FIR NO.152/2014 under sections 201,376 PPC was registered against the rapist and two other violent perpetrators. The report was made to Daska police despite the threats from the guilty parties. On the direction of DPO in Sialkot, the rapist was arrested and one of the other co-accused villains were put on pre-arrest bail. A third co-accused under the FIR was later declared innocent by the police investigators. Police have informed the victim’s family that a medical examination has confirmed a rape took place on the underage girl. They have also informed the family that the accused rapist Fakhar has confessed his part in the attack.
Saira is still hospitalised at Alama Iqbal Civil hospital and is currently assessed as being in critical condition. Sialkot.Advocate Sardar Mushtaq Gill,a Human Rights Defender and Chief of LEAD has demanded justice for the victim and her family.
Mr.Gill was informed of the incident by Advocate Ch.Tariq Seraj. Mr.Gill has spoken with the girl’s mother,Nasreen Bibi,and assured her that LEAD will stand with them and fight for justice.
Mr.Gill, a Human Rights Defender who is involved in the protection of religious minority rights, strongly condemns the sexual assault of a minor girl of only seven years. He is frightened by the sheer and increasing volume of Christian girls being kidnapped and raped, by Muslim men.
In December , 2012 A 6 years old Hindu girl Wijenti Meghwar, student of class 1 who was raped in Ghulam Nabi Shah town while playing in street.
Last year 2013 January in Kasur District ,a Christian girl named, Fouzia Bibi, aged 15 years, was raped by two landlord and in July 2013 a Christian minor girl student of Class 7th in Village Doctor Wala, Vehari was also raped by one Muslim boy under the supervision of two armed men.
Wilson Chowdhry Chair of the BPCA, raised his concerns about this recent attack. He said;

Obamacare Navigators: Criminals and ACORN Activists? Judicial Watch Sues for Details
Tens of millions of people struggling to find their way through the bureaucratic mess that is Obamacare to find quality health care.  Do not despair.  Your government is there to help you!
The Obama administration has hired some 50,000 “navigators,” at a taxpayer cost of $67 million, to help guide Americans through the Obamacare labyrinths.  There’s just one catch.  You might be feeding your personal information to a convicted felon.  And that’s not a claim coming from any “right wing conspirators,” but rather, directly from the mouth of outgoing Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Check out this remarkable exchange between Sebelius and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) during a November 6, 2014, Senate Finance Committee hearing.
Cornyn: So I want to ask you about the navigators … Isn’t it true that there is no federal requirement for navigators to undergo a criminal background check, even though they will receive sensitive personal information from the individuals they help to sign-up up for the Affordable Care Act?”
Sebelius:  That is true ….
Cornyn: So a convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information from an individual unbeknownst to them?
Sebelius: That is possible.
Criminals in control of your sensitive data? It’s not just “possible.” It could be happening right now under Obamacare.
Last August, 13 state attorneys general warned Sebelius that training and safeguards in place for the navigators appeared to be inadequate. In a letter to the HHS secretary, they wrote that the background check system “pales in comparison” to what is typically required for workers in programs receiving federal health dollars, adding, “It is not enough simply to adopt vague policies against fraud.”
In January 2014, National Review reported that as many as 43 convicted criminals were working as Obamacare navigators in California. (Offenses include forgery, burglary, child abuse, battery, petty theft, and evading a police officer.) And in March, Breitbart reported that Obamacare navigators were enrolling clients at Mexican Consulates nationwide, including Mexican nationals.
Add to this the enormous security holes in the Obamacare website Healthcare.gov – currently the subject of another Judicial Watch lawsuit – and it’s impossible to see how anyone would trust their personal data, indeed their very health and well-being, to this bureaucratic boondoggle.
Truly, when it comes to these navigators, the security concerns are just the tip of the iceberg. There’s also the corrupt deal-making between the Obama administration and the political organizations who employ these navigators.
According to a November 11, 2013, article in National Review Online, among the organizations providing Obamacare navigators is Local 100 United Labor Unions, a New Orleans group run by ACORN founder Wade Rathke. The article reports, “Local 100 is a ‘sub-grantee’ providing navigators for the Southern United Neighborhoods group, which received a $600,678 grant to promote Obamacare enrollment. It also received a $270,193 grant for similar work in Arkansas and a $486,123 grant for Louisiana.”
Other organizations include the National Urban League, which was paid $376,000 for its Obamacare outreach in Texas, as well as such leftwing groups as Planned Parenthood and the Virginia Poverty Law Center Inc.
So we have the Obama administration paying leftwing groups to hire untrained, unskilled operatives to recruit Obamacare customers and collect sensitive data. What could possible go wrong?
James O’Keefe, the conservative investigator and journalist who effectively helped shut down ACORN’s first incarnation with his incriminating undercover videos, has some answers. O’Keefe has new evidence, again on video, showing the nefarious activities of these navigators. Per The National Review:
“You lie because your premiums will be higher,” one navigator advises an investigator for O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, who tells the worker he sometimes smokes. “Don’t tell them that. Don’t tell ’em.”
The investigator then poses as a low-income worker at a university who has unreported cash income on the side, worrying about how that might affect his premium subsidies. That’s no problem for a navigator, who says, “Don’t get yourself in trouble by declaring it now.”
“Yeah, it didn’t happen,” another navigator says. One more chimes in: “Never report it.”
As I mentioned, there are more than enough flags to warrant Judicial Watch’s attention, and we are now in court to get to the truth in the matter.
On March 27, 2014, JW filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against HHS to obtain records about controversial Obamacare navigators, including records about navigator qualifications and background checks. Here’s what we’re after according to our original FOIA request filed in November 2013:
  • Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to contracts awarded to private entities to provide navigators to assist individuals obtaining health insurance under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; and
  • Any and all records concerning, regarding, or related to federal requirements for the above-mentioned navigators, including but not limited to background checks and qualifications.
The Obamacare navigator program seems as corrupt as any Chicago patronage operation – and is a danger to the privacy of millions of Americans who are participating in Obamacare. The use of Obamacare navigators and the Healthcare.gov web site should come with consumer warnings. The Obama administration’s illegal secrecy about these Obamacare navigators should make Americans very nervous. As if we didn’t have enough reason for rattled nerves already. And on that front…
Is Obama Lying About Obamacare Numbers?
When does government incompetence turn to government corruption? When the incompetent government officials lie, stonewall, and refuse to obey transparency laws.
And that is exactly what is happening inside the Obama administration in an attempt to cover up an Obamacare blunder that places healthcare consumers in danger of having no coverage at all.
Judicial Watch initiated an investigation of the matter and ran right into an Obama administration stonewall. And on March 27, 2014, JW was forced to file a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Specifically, JW seeks records regarding the testing and oversight of the Obama administration’s error-filled Healthcare.gov “834” reporting forms.
Form 834 is an electronic file sent from HealthCare.gov to an insurance company after a consumer picks a health care coverage plan. The file is supposed to contain the person’s name, address, contact information, Social Security number, and information about the plan they have chosen. Insurance companies use the form to enroll people in insurance plans and bill consumers for their portion of the payment. An inaccurate 834 form may result in consumers either not having coverage, or being turned down for payment claims.
It has been estimated that as many as 33 percent of the 834 forms for enrollees in the federal health care website may have been inaccurate, incomplete, or missing altogether.
Of course, this problem threatens the Obama administration’s narrative that everything is hunky dory with the Obamacare rollout, and that the administration hit all of its goals for the number of Americans covered; hence the cover-up.
Here’s what we’re after:
  • Any and all documents and communications generated on or after April 1, 2103, regarding the timing and procedures for testing the back end systems that are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of Form 834 transactions on Healthcare.gov;
  • Any and all documents and communications generated on or after April 1, 2013, regarding reports of instances or potential instances of inaccuracies, discrepancies, and/or missing information in Form 834 transactions;
  • Any and all documents and communications generated on or after April 1, 2013, regarding the establishment and operation of an official mechanism to report and/or remedy instances of inaccuracies, discrepancies, and/or missing information in Form 834 transactions.
In a December 2, 2013, article entitled “Health-care enrollment on Web plagued by bugs,” the Washington Post reported: “The enrollment records for a significant portion of the Americans who have chosen health plans through the online federal insurance marketplace contain errors — generated by the computer system — that mean they might not get the coverage they’re expecting next month.” Also, the Form 834 problems “have affected roughly one-third of the people who have signed up for health plans since Oct. 1.”
Though the administration has refused to reveal how many consumers have been affected by the Form 834 failures, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services spokesperson Julie Bataille admitted in early December that it is a major problem, being worked on by “a team of experts from CMS, key outside contractors working closely with health plan representatives and overseen by CMS’s general contractor, Optum/QSSI.”
At a December 5 press briefing White House Press Secretary Jay Carney described the costly Form 834 failures as “self-inflicted problems,” adding, “We know every person who has enrolled, or believes he or she has enrolled, we – the CMS and others, and every one of them is being contacted …”
None of this is reassuring.
The Obama administration has been playing games with the enrollment numbers from the very beginning. And it speaks volumes that the Obama administration doesn’t want to give us information about whether those who want insurance were actually able to get it through Healthcare.gov.
Given HHS’s unlawful cover up, it is fair to presume that President Obama’s touted figure of eight million Obamacare enrollments is a knowing fiction. With all its illegal stonewalling of basic information, we frankly can’t believe much of anything this administration has to say on what Obamacare is doing to the American people.
“USA is an Islamic Country” – Says FBI Award Winner under Investigation by Judicial Watch
The response of the FBI to the threat of Islamic terrorism too often has been nonsensical. In the years following the 9/11 attacks, the FBI implemented a “catch and release” program for terrorist criminals, purged its training curricula of material deemed “offensive” to radical Muslims, and, almost to the day of the tenth anniversary of 9/11, gave a prestigious award to a radical Muslim who once “tweeted” that the U.S. is an “Islamic country.”  This radical, Mohammed Elibiary, also serves as a Homeland Security Advisor to the Obama administration and has been under Judicial Watch’s microscope for some time.
Can any of you make sense of this? We can’t, which is why we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuiton March 25, 2014. We’re seeking agency records related to the awarding of the Louis E. Peters Award in 2011 to Mohammed Elibiary, who is alleged to have close ties to radical Islamist organizations, including the Muslim Brotherhood.
Our request, which has been ignored for nearly a year by the FBI, is simple:
Any and all records regarding, concerning, or related to the awarding of the Louis E. Peters Memorial Award to Mr. Mohamed Elibiary on September 8, 2011. This request includes, but is not limited to, any and all recommendations and other records of communications regarding, concerning, or related to the award.
Elibiary, who in his role as Homeland Security advisor has regular access to classified information, most recently came under fire in November 2013 for tweeting out the message that America is “an Islamic country with an Islamically compliant constitution.” In its December 2013 “Special Report: U.S. Government Purges of Law Enforcement Training Material Deemed ‘Offensive’ to Muslims” Judicial Watch identified Elibiary as one of nearly a half-dozen “Islamist influence operators” within the Obama administration “seeking to advance an ideological agenda completely at odds with our constitutional system.”
In October 2010, when DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that she had sworn in Elibiary as a member of the agency’s Advisory Council, Judicial Watch reported he was a backer of the Ayatollah Khomeini, the Iranian revolutionary whose teachings continue to govern Middle Eastern terrorist organizations.
In December 2004, Elibiary had participated in a Dallas, Texas, tribute to Khomeini called “A Tribute To The Great Islamic Visionary, Ayatollah Khomeini.” In 2012, Judicial Watch reported that Elibiary leaked classified documents to a media outlet that had declined to do a story supposedly exposing DHS’s promotion of “Islamophobia.” Records obtained by Judicial Watch included documents showing that Elibiary was given access to the Texas state terrorism database on October 18, 2011. The investigation of the allegation by the Texas Department of Public Safety found that Elibiary downloaded two documents from the system just days before he allegedly offered to leak documents to Newsweek/The Daily Beast.
In October 2013, the Center for Security Policy, a Washington, DC, think tank, published a revealing 33-page report based on a lengthy, five-part interview with Elibiary. In the interview, Elibiary admitted he was a longtime friend of self-described Islamist Shukri Abu Baker, who was convicted in 2008 of financing the terrorist organization Hamas through his U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity, the Holy Land Foundation. Elibiary disclosed that he donated to the Holy Land Foundation monthly until it was shut down by the U.S. government and he defended Baker, depicting his prosecution as a case of political persecution.
The document includes a number of alarming details of Elibiary’s close relationship with a wide array of U.S. Islamist groups, including the radical Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, which declares that the only legitimate law according to Islam is Sharia. The group also urges American Muslims to nurture hostility toward U.S. law, according to Arabic documents discovered and translated into English by the Center for Security Policy.
I’m sure none of this information found its way into Elibiary’s acceptance speech when receiving his Louis E. Peters Award, which is presented annually “to that person who best exemplifies the standards set by Peters in providing service to the FBI and the Nation.” In 1977, Peters informed the FBI of a shakedown attempt by mob boss Joe Bonanno. At the time, the California car dealer was recognized by then-FBI Director William Webster as having “set new standards of patriotism.”
We have no doubt why the FBI would be embarrassed about giving an award to someone with Elibiary’s extreme Islamist views. But embarrassment does not excuse the FBI’s cover-up of its relationship with this radical.
You would think the FBI, of all agencies, would follow the law.  But it doesn’t.  It is especially egregious that the government agencies that can arrest you for violations of law don’t bother to follow the law themselves.
Supreme Court Decision in Michigan Affirmative Action Ban
I will close this week with some good news. The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-2 decision to uphold Michigan’s affirmative action ban, which prevents the use of race as a factor in college admissions. Justice Kennedy issued the Court’s opinion, joined by Justices Alito and Chief Justice Roberts. Justices Scalia, Thomas and Breyer while concurring with the decision wrote separate opinions, as did dissenters Justices Sotomayor and Ginsberg. (Justice Kagan recused herself.)
Here’s the statement I offered to the press in response to the ruling:
Today’s decision is a green light for more states to take steps to end discriminatory racial preferences. The Court’s ruling was a strong statement in support of the people’s right to democratic self-governance, and against the detrimental spread of racial politics into all areas of American public life. Today’s ruling is also a signal that Obama administration’s dishonest use of the “race card” to advance its policy agendas may face significant skepticism in the Supreme Court.
The High Court decision overturned a November 15, 2012, ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The lower court had ruled 8-7 that the affirmative action ban, which Michigan voters overwhelmingly passed in a 2006 referendum, violated the U.S. Constitution’s equal protection laws.
This is a case in which Judicial Watch took legal action, having joined with the Allied Educational Foundation (AEF) to file an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court in support of Proposition 2, Michigan’s seven-year-old ban on the use of racial preferences in college admissions.
Here’s a squib from the Judicial Watch-AEF amicus brief filed on July 1, 2013:
Among the harms caused by the Sixth Circuit’s decision are: a dangerous erosion of the people’s right to democratic self-governance; the needless further enshrinement of the intellectually impoverished concept of race into law; the perpetuation of a culture of racial and ethnic politics in American public life; and the perpetuation of racial and ethnic resentment and intolerance in American society.
Justice Scalia, in a stinging concurrence, argued that the courts must remove themselves altogether from the “dirty business of dividing the nation into racial blocs,” through an affirmative action theory that “promotes the noxious fiction that, knowing only a person’s color or ethnicity, we can be sure that he has a predetermined set of policy ‘interests,’ thus reinforcing the perception that members of the same racial group—regardless of their age, education, economic status, or the community in which they live—think alike, and share the same political interests.”
I rather like what Chief Justice Roberts wrote in a previous lawsuit involving the issue of race based preferences: “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.”
Let us hope this judicial wisdom continues to prevail.

Until next week…
