Obama Signs Executive Order Allowing for Control Over all US Resources

With last years military maneuvers on the west coast that look suspiciously like crowd control and intelligence gathering practice, along with recent drone overflights of U.S. cities, now quietly the White House announces to little fanfare this little jewel.... 

You can read the whole Executive Order for yourself Here.

In short, the 'National Defense Resources Preparedness' order gives the Executive Branch the power to control and allocate energy, production, transportation, food, and even water resources by decree under the auspices of national defense and national security.  The order is not limited to wartime implementation, as one of the order's functions includes the command and control of resources in peacetime determinations.
Section 101. Purpose. This order delegates authorities and addresses national defense resource policies and programs under the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended (the "Act").
(b) assess on an ongoing basis the capability of the domestic industrial and technological base to satisfy requirements in peacetime and times of national emergency, specifically evaluating the availability of the most critical resource and production sources, including subcontractors and suppliers, materials, skilled labor, and professional and technical personnel;
"Executive Orders created for national defense and national preparedness are not new in American history, but in each instance they brought about a Constitutional crisis that nearly led standing Presidents to hold dictatorial power over the citizenry......" 

"The Obama administration appears to be preparing for a long drawn out war in the Middle East, or at the very least, an expected crisis that will require the need to override Constitutional authority and claim dominion over all resources in the United States under the guise of national security...." - The Examiner

.......like violent OWS uprisings in major cities this summer that raise fears that could very well cost him the White House?

Our Teleprompter President’s Oratory

 A Comparative Analysis 
Conservative Resources

Barack Obama is renowned for his speechifying, but comparing him to historical figures is downright dispiriting because of the wide chasm that separates him from them. If Obama is a great orator by today’s standards, then we have a problem with our standards.

The man reads from his teleprompter like a pro but has little of import to say, lies shamelessly, uses eighth-grade language, leans heavily toward long-windedness, and stumbles over his own tongue like a stroke victim when the teleprompter is unavailable. This passage from Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address, delivered to a divided nation during the Civil War, shows how far standards have slipped:....Keep Reading........

I Purpose a Question.....

Why Would Anyone in Their Right Mind Run for President?


Take Mitt Romney for instance. He has a good life, his health, a devoted wife, tons of money, exceptionally thick hair, seemingly dozens of sons who look exactly like him, and so on. Yet he’s decided this isn’t enough and is running for president, with the result he now spends his days forced to make conversation with people he normally wouldn't let valet park one of his wife's Cadillacs. And watching him makes me wonder, “Why would anyone enter a presidential campaign?” After much contemplation, these are my possible reasons:

1. Believe your leadership will make America a better place.

2. Believe that, while your leadership won’t necessarily help  America, probably less damaging to America than the leadership of the jerk currently running things.


3. Believe that, while your leadership will almost certainly be spectacularly damaging to America, at least you’ll get the paycheck instead of the jerk.


4. America owes you the presidency (you’ve served your country nobly in at least one war).


5. America owes you the presidency (you’ve held a lot of other government jobs; might as well have this one too).


 6. America owes you the presidency (you’re very rich and if a very rich man can’t get what he wants, why did you bother inheriting that money in the first place?).


 7. Your dad ran for president and didn’t win; need to reach the White House to restore family honor.


 8. Your dad ran for president and did win but lost bid for reelection; need to restore family honor by claiming the White House for two terms this time.


9. Your moron husband was president; you might as well be president too.


10. Don’t actually want to run for president, but do want to boost your speaking fees and possibly get a book deal, so sticking it out for now.


11. Don’t actually want to run for president, but do like the media inexplicably taking you seriously when you mention you might want the job, plus you’ll need something to do when The Celebrity Apprentice is canceled.


 12. Don’t actually want to run for president, but have been brainwashed to seek the White House and overthrow the American way of life in a Manchurian Candidate-type deal.


13. You’re really, really sick of being the governor of Arkansas or Wisconsin or Nebraska or whatever messed up state you happen to be running and it seems a way out.


14. You’re already convinced armed men follow you everywhere, so shouldn’t be too tough to adjust to Secret Service protection.


15. You love what America was, but hate what it’s becoming.


16. You hate what America was, but love what it’s becoming.


17. You’re surprisingly neutral on America past and present; hope that ruling it for a time will stir up some passion one way or the other.


18. Chicks dig really
presidential candidates.
  

19. Free food, free gas, free house and a really cool airplane to ride around in for at least 4 years.

20. If you run for president enough times, someone will think you're really smart and make you Vice President (that one worked out pretty well, didn't it).

Let me know which ones I’m missing.

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

Osama Bin Laden's Eldest Wife May Have Collaborated with CIA

The IndependentOsama Bin Laden, physically and mentally frail and holed-up in a secret compound in a Pakistan garrison town, may have been sold out to the Americans by his eldest wife who was furiously jealous of the al-Qa’ida leader’s preference for a younger bride.

An eight-month investigation carried out by a retired senior Pakistani army officer, Brig. Shaukat Qadir, suggests Bin Laden’s eldest wife, Khairiah Saber, was so upset that after she moved into the house in February last year that she collaborated with the CIA teams that were hunting him. “Absolutely, I’m sure about it,” said Mr Qadir, speaking yesterday from Rawalpindi. “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

The retired officer has based his investigation on interviews with officials from the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and access to transcripts of interviews with Bin Laden’s three wives who were living with him in the Abbottabad house. The widows remain in Pakistani custody and who have this week been charged with visa offences.

Mr Qadir was also permitted rare access inside the compound, where he was shown blood-stains purportedly belonging to Bin Laden, who was shot dead by US special forces. He said the motivation to invest his own money and time in the issue was the number of contradictions that appeared in the various accounts of the CIA’s surveillance operation and the eventual raid to kill Bin Laden, who was codenamed Geronimo."

On Condoms and Catholics....

By Matthew@The Lunatic's Asylum
RE: The recent tempest regarding the ObamaCare mandates on birth control vis-à-vis religious institutions.

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me that Muslim religious institutions must comply with the law, too. There has been a curious silence on this matter. One would either expect that any Muslim negatory response would come with an ostentatious explosion, or since one has been lacking, that another 'secret' deal has been brokered behind the scenes which exempts the Exploding People from this provision of ObamaCare.

I'm also waiting to hear from all those Left-wing retards who screamed about the draconian threats to personal liberties and privacy that were embodied in the Patriot Act to explain why it is that the government should respect a terrorist's right to privacy, vis-a-vis wiretapping in order to prevent a mass murder, and that it should have the right to drag people's sexual lives into the light of day and infringing upon people's right of conscience in order to score a cheap political point on behalf of a walking-wounded President who hasn't got the proverbial snowball's chance in hades to be re-elected.

I'm not expecting to hear anything especially logical or coherent on either account, so there's no point in waiting for answers.

 A few words about birth control, which Muslims have been practicing since 632 AD -- only now with explosives and televised beheadings...oh, sorry, this isn't about Muslims, and I seem to have gone slightly off track. My apologies.


Bill Clinton to Join Obama for Fundraisers

From Bloomberg:
"Former President Bill Clinton has agreed to make joint appearances with President Barack Obama at a series of campaign fundraisers, according to three people familiar with the matter. The 42nd and the 44th presidents will appear together at events in the coming months in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, according to one of the people.
The New York fundraiser will be attended by donors in the financial services industry, said the person, who like the others spoke on the condition of anonymity because they hadn’t been authorized to talk about the events.  The prospect of a meeting with Obama as well as the former president, whose favorability rating was 67 percent in a Pew Research Center poll last year, may entice more donors.........."


"Democrats cheered the move and said it signaled a new stage in the campaign. The show of Democratic unity comes as Republicans are in the middle of a protracted primary fight."

Romney Offers Gingrich Deal

Middle Finger News Exclusive:
Drop out Now, I'll make you President of the Moon

In an apparent effort to mend the rift within their own party, a Romney spokesman told us that after the Super Tuesday primary results are in, they plan to offer that if he drops out of the presidential primary race, a Romney Presidency would gladly support Newt Gingrich as the first "President of the Moon" should the candidate's plan for a moon colony come to pass.

"Gov. Romney would be happy to take up the Speaker's idea of establishing a moon colony as a U.S. state, or whatever it was he proposed, as long as he drops out of the race now, and then, once it's established we can send Newt up to be president of that, hopefully sooner rather than later."
 
"There's nothing I'd like better than to see Speaker Gingrich on the moon," said Romney at a campaign stop Monday, drawing prompt agreement from the likes of Sen. Tom Coburn, former Sen. Bob Dole, CNN's John King, Gingrich's first wife and Gingrich's second wife.

TV talk show host Nancy Grace said today she also approved of the idea of a moon colony, so long as it contained no "sickos, perverts, psychos, criminals, kooks, killers or members of the Casey Anthony jury." As to whether she thought Speaker Gingrich fit into any of those categories, Grace thought for a moment and responded, "Well, I know he wasn't on the jury."

More and more, the GOP establishment has been rallying around Romney out of fear that Gingrich may gain some momentum and end up winning the nomination and prove unelectable against Barack Obama come November.

Gingrich, for his part, noted again at a campaign event yesterday that if the Obama administration had spent as much money on the space program as it had on food stamps and green fees, "We'd already be floating around a manned U.S. moon colony."

Gingrich said Obama was misguided in squandering this opportunity, and reiterated a point he'd made in his book To Renew America that moon colonization will be especially popular for couples, given the positive effects of weightlessness on sexual intercourse. "Personally I can't wait," he said.

When told of the comment, President Obama responded by throwing up a little bit in his mouth.

Hey Buddy, Can You Spare $38,500 to Save My Ass

Obama has shattered the amount of time and number of events 
any president has ever spent to focus on saving their own job.


Mark Knoller - CBS
By day's end, President Obama will hit 100 on the campaign fundraising scoreboard.
He reaches the century mark by doing four money-raising events for his re-election campaign during a seven-hour swing through New York City. The visit follows a speech this afternoon here in Nashua, New Hampshire on the energy components of his strategy to boost the economy and create jobs. It has taken Mr. Obama less than a year to do a hundred re-election fund-raisers since he officially filed his candidacy for a second term with the Federal Election Commission on April 4, 2011.
The hard-driving effort to raise money has taken Mr. Obama to 13 states. The contributions taken in at Mr. Obama's fundraisers go to the Obama Victory Fund, an entity set up to raise funds simultaneously for the Obama for America campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
The most well-heeled contributors are asked to contribute $35,800 each. It's the legal maximum under FEC rules and get split this way:
$2500 maximum to Obama campaign primary campaign
$2500 maximum to Obama campaign general election campaign
$30,800 maximum to the Democratic National Committee
The Obama campaign fundraising juggernaut has accumulated far more money than any presidential candidate.
The latest filing with the FEC shows the Obama campaign has raised over $140 million of which $106 million are from individual contributions. And as of January 31st, the campaign boasted a war chest of nearly $76 milllion collars "cash on hand." That compares to $63 million raised to date by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign, which had $7.6 million to spend as of the end of January.
Money doesn't always buy a political victory, but in 2008, a vastly superior war chest was an undeniable factor in helping a junior senator from Illinois win the presidency in a campaign against Arizona Sen. John McCain.
As president, Mr. Obama has yet another fund-raising advantage. He can travel the country at relatively little cost to his campaign. When he flies to Los Angeles for a series of fund-raisers, his campaign pays only a minuscule fraction of the $180,000 per hour it costs to fly Air Force One.
Like its predecessors, the Obama White House refuses to disclose exactly how it calculates the costs of political travel to be reimbursed to the government by the Democratic National Committee or the Obama campaign.
Unlike his predecessors, Mr. Obama claims to run the most open and transparent White House in history. When it comes to details of political fundraising, the transparency is opaque.

Ganett Newspapers Undergo Philosophic Change

"They Don't Really Read the Stories Anyway"

Middle Finger News Service - In a move that industry analysts say illustrates the challenges facing traditional media outlets, the Gannet company announced this week that it would run only photos of attractive people in its newspaper USA Today.

  Actually especially USA Today," noted new Ganett chairman Zig Dubose'.


"We asked ourselves: Is there ever a time that a story is better served by showing a fully clothed ugly person?" said Dubose'. "And then we answered ourselves: No, there isn't."

Dubose' noted several recent focus group studies from the Columbia School of Journalism that cited an audience preference for seeing attractive, well-groomed, scantily clad people in the publications that they read. The decision by Gannet is only the latest move on the part of media companies to tailor their products to modern audiences. 


Dow Jones, which publishes the Wall Street Journal and was acquired by media magnate Rupert Murdoch, turned heads when Murdoch announced all stories would be fewer than 300 words long and be "85 percent action verbs. "People don't have time for a whole lot of nouns or, God forbid, conjunctive adverbs," said Murdoch, noting that the new WSJ will have stories "as fast-paced and action-packed as an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie."
Other recent moves by newspaper companies have included:

- "Choose your own ending" news stories (Knight Ridder);

- "Who's the Secret Source?" contest (Washington Post);

- A woman in a bikini in every section, including Obituaries (Boston Herald).

Boston-based media critic Lanny Putz lamented the fading away of the traditional newspaper model - with its long stories on topics nobody was particularly interested in - but noted that newspapers must adapt to keep up with the Internet, which features naked pictures of Vanessa Hudgens."That's the challenge - finding the common ground between long and boring and naked Vanessa Hudgens," said Putz.


 Even the magazine publishing world recognizes the need to change in order to interest readers. Leftist rags like Mother Jones have plans to run full page layouts of Rosie O'Donnell in assless chaps, and The Nation magazine plan full nudes of Janeane Garofalo actually combing her hair.


In a related story, Community Newspaper Holdings has announced a new "Naked Vanessa Hudgens" section in every one of its more than 290 daily and weekly newspapers.

WikiLeak Dump Shines Light On Democrats Stuffing Ballot Boxes, Bribes, and Russian $$$

From PIC

Democrats have been rigging elections and committing fraud for decades. It is also not surprising that Obama, and his operatives, are involved. The Wikileak’s dump shines light onto the ballot stuffing that happened in Ohio and Philadelphia (isn’t that where the Black Panther goons were intimidating poll workers and voters?) and paid a bribe to Jesse Jackson to keep his constantly flapping mouth shut. It also details the Obama team accepting Russian money (Obama has done a lot to help Russia).

From Wikileaks:
To: secure@stratfor.com
Subject: Insight – The Dems & Dirty Tricks ** Internal Use Only – Pls Do
Not Forward **
 ** Internal Use Only – Pls Do Not Forward **
1) The black Dems were caught stuffing the ballot boxes in Philly and Ohio as reported the night of the election and Sen. McCain chose not to fight. The matter is not dead inside the party. It now becomes a matter of sequence now as to how and when to “out”.
2) It appears the Dems “made a donation” to Rev. Jesse (no, they would never do that!) to keep his yap shut after his diatribe about the Jews and Israel. A little bird told me it was a “nice six-figure donation”. This also becomes a matter of how and when to out.
3) The hunt is on for the sleezy Russian money into O-mans coffers.  smoking gun has already been found. Will get more on this when the time is right. My source was too giddy to continue. Can you say Clinton and ChiCom funny money? This also becomes a matter of how and when to out.
Many people have no clue about Stratfor but they are on of the best intelligence gatherers and several government agencies use their services. I subscribe to them and get updates about what’s happening worldwide. I guess now that these e-mails have been “outed” we will being to learn more about what the Democrats did and what ties this has to Obama. Let’s look at what the e-mails expose:...... Keep Reading

The Man Who Scares The Hell Out of the Left

By Yid with Lid 

The song may say you only hurt the one you love, but in politics you hurt the one who gives you nightmares and Marco Rubio makes democrats wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming at the top of their progressive lungs. Anybody who articulates conservatism as well as Rubio, who ties it to the American dream and presents it as the best hope for the average Joe in this country would frighten the Democrats. Rubio however, has two other significant and fear inducing things going for him.

First of all he is of Cuban decent, and being Hispanic means (to liberals) he is supposed to be on the their side. Progressives like to place people in groups, it makes it easier for them to take away their humanity and individualism.By destroying their neat and pretty picture of an Hispanic, Rubio scares the progressives.

Rubio's other threat is that he lives in a swing state with 29 electoral votes, 11% of the total needed to become president (270). Obviously that is a major chunk of electoral college votes (that went to Obama in 2008) the Democrats do not want to lose in what may be a very close 2012 election.

The junior senator from the sunshine state seems to be the consensus pick for Vice President. Usually a VP selection can destroy a ticket but does not really add to a campaign. The 2008 selection of Sarah Palin was an exception as the Governor from Alaska helped to rally the GOP base to John McCain.

Rubio would be another exception, especially of Mitt Romney was the pick, he would help rally the base, possible deliver Florida and make in roads with some of the moderate and conservative Hispanic voters who went for Obama last time. Marco Rubio might even make some misguided independents feel less guilty about turning the first half-African-American out of office. After all they would be exchanging him for the first Hispanic Vice President.

Put it all together and one realizes that the progressives are "scream for mommy in the middle of the night" frightened about the Florida Senator, which is way beginning with last October rumors began to spread about him that he wasn't really a "natural born US citizen."

It is the contention of these nut-jobs that because Rubio's parents were not yet Citizens of the US when the future politician was born, he is not a natural born US Citizen.

Now the Democratic smear machine is making hay about the fact that Marco Rubio used to be a Mormon. Rubio was baptized into the Mormon church when he was 8 and “remained active in the faith for a number of years,” attending LDS youth groups and walking to church most Sundays because his mother didn’t drive BuzzFeed reports.

Rubio left Mormonism to become a Catholic “a few years later,” and he got his first Communion when he was 13, in 1984, the Florida senator’s spokesman told the website.

Lets take this apart.

First of all, even if Rubio was still a practicing Mormon, it shouldn't matter. Even if he is on the ticket with Mitt Romney who is a Mormon. To put it a different way, I voted against the ticket that had Joe Lieberman, a fellow Jew, as VP. The bottom line is I vote for the ticket which will be the best for America. I am not voting for my Synagogue's Rabbi, a position which, quite frankly I would never chose a Mormon to fill (nor a Catholic, Muslim or Baptist--Call me bigoted!)

Point number two is that not many eight-year-olds have a choice about religion. Both my children went to Hebrew school at eight, they also observed the Sabbath and Jewish Holidays in the home and had no choice. When they are adults, if they want to change their faith I wont be able to stop them (although I might stick my head in the oven, kill myself and haunt them for the rest of their human existence, but I wont be able to stop them).

Have no doubt about it, calling Rubio's faith into question has much more to do with the calls for him to be the VP selection on the GOP ticket getting much louder, than any concern about his faith. This still is the United States and someone's faith should not matter.

 Just like the "natural born citizen" questions raised four months ago, the real issue is the thought of a conservative, Cuban-American from Florida on the GOP ticket gives the progressives nightmares. Just as they tried to do with Sarah Palin four years ago, the progressives are going to do their best to destroy Marco Rubio. The question is, will we let them!

Ringling Brothers Circus Sues Obama Administration

Contemplates Suing Democrat Party

Middle Finger News Service - Ringling Brothers Circus is suing the White House for infringements on the copyright claim of  ‘The Biggest Circus In The World ’. The Ringling Brothers, for a century the largest traveling circus on the circuit, is now upset that the White House and Democrat party are now cutting into their business.



Our clowns are at least professional!” stated Ringling Manager Pepe Roni , a midget trapezes artist with the circus.  “When we get laughs it is because we intend to. And we don't wear no three piece suits trying to look normal.  Believe me, the world is not a happy place when the clowns are pissed off!"

“It’s disgusting.” said Sue Flay, the Amazon strong-woman. “I put on a quality act wrestling boa constrictors and throwing cannon balls through stone walls, things that take real nerve and talent, and here's that crazy ass Debbie Wasserman Shitts going on stage acting a fool, talking out her ass and gets big buck contributions from all the lard butted businessmen who really just want to get in her pants. It is so unfair!”

“They are all cutting into our territory.” said Craven Moorehead, the chief clown and part time manure raker for the the circus. “We all spend years in clown school to perfect our craft, spending hours cramming into small cars, learning more about makeup application than Revlon will ever know and we get sidelined by this First Lady who obviously pays an ex-clown to dress her an give fashion tips. An those patent black leather shoe conformists like Nancy Pelosi who stand totally still on stage ranting like bad lunatic comedian about this amendment or that and they get all the air time in the world. And who the hell does her makeup, Stevie Wonder? They never have to endanger themselves with a prat fall or get shot out of a cannon. No! The worse thing they ever sprain is their jaw from so much blabbering."

Tess Steckle, the gate cashier and most normal person we could find to interview had this to say; “It is just disgusting. In all my years at the circus I have seen our people endangering life and limb to entertain people and these amateur clowns get more camera time than we have gotten since the fucking tent burned down in Pittsburgh back in 68'. They get Ma and Pa Small Town U.S.A. to come to their rallies and the media to cover them every time they fart . How are we to compete with that?”

Clown Car driver Jim Shorts ask us  “Why is it that America looks now to Joe Biden, mush-mouth Barney Frank and a sorry Bozo like Jay Carney and all these others for their comic relief? We're the ones out here trying to put on a professional show! These others are all rank amateurs. We're thinking of changing over to wearing suits to compete. I never thought I would see the day we'd have to stoop to being straight, but it appears to be the only way we can keep up with these guys. It is so humiliating!”

The Washington Law Firm of  Soo,Yu & Lovett have been retained to represent Ringling Brother. The White House legal team refuse comment from their weekly Ping Pong tournament at the time of this writing.
