Obama is a pathological liar!! LIAR LIAR TURBAN ON FIRE


Obama is a pathological liar!!
LIAR LIAR TURBAN ON FIRE
Top 60 lies and broken promises

Republican Examiner looks at Obama's speeches and campaign pledges between 2007 and 2013 to assess the president's lies, broken promises, hypocrisy, and empty rhetoric. In Washington, the easiest thing to do is talk about change, especially when you're a former "community organizer" (i.e., code word for frustrated socialist) with zero business experience.
Psychologists define pathological lying as "falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view . . . and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime". The individual may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth, being unaware that they are living in a fantasy, according to the Journal of American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law.
Here's our top 60 list of Obama's deceit, in no particular order. (All quotations are statements Obama made in recent years.)
1. Promised an open, more transparent government. In 2008, candidate Obama said "No more secrecy. That's a commitment I'm going to make to you as president. No more secrecy." (Video)
a. Obamacare, Obama's landmark legislation from his first term, was passed in secrecy. In an infamous 2009 interview with ABC, the president insisted several times that Obamacare "is not a tax". However, Obama's solicitor general argued before the Supreme Court that the healthcare act was indeed a tax, and in 2012, the nation's highest court agreed. Transparency? In 2012, Donald Trump offered $5 million to a charity of Obama’s choosing in exchange for the release of the president’s college and passport records. As of 2013, Obama has spent over $2 million in legal fees to seal his personal and professional records from public view.
2. “I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.”
a. (Video) Apparently, the campaigner-in-chief doesn't understand that communism destroyed the Soviet Union. Pathalogical liars live in a fantasy world.
3. In a 2008 interview with interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, then-candidate Obama said “. . . you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith . . .”
a. Obama has always maintained that he is Christian. However, the above interview showed his Freudian slip. Also, his wedding ring allegedly bears the inscription “There is no God but Allah”.
4. In 2008, the Associated Press obtained Obama's Indonesian grade school registration which, when translated into English, identifies him as an Indonesian citizen.
a. Article 2 Section 1 of the constitution states that “No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.”
5. In 2011, a team of forensic experts organized by Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio looked into Obama's submitted birth certificate. Arpaio told Fox News his forensic team's conclusion that Obama's birth certification is “definitely fraudulent”. After six months of analyzing the document, Arpaio's team discovered code errors, computer-generated marks, and manipulated seals on the document.
a. The White House responded by releasing a different birth certificate.
6. “As president, I’m going to make it impossible for congressman and lobbyists to slip pork barrel projects or corporate welfare into law when no one’s looking . . . . No more secrecy.”
a. Pork barrel spending continues. In 2011 it was disclosed that the Obama administration has been conducting secret talks with lobbyists at coffee shops so that the meetings could not be recorded by the White House logbook. In 2012, earmarks are expected to exceed $40 billion.
Want some examples of pork barrel spending under Obama's watch? (Video)
  • $255,000,000 to upgrade the M1 Abrams tank, which is opposed by the Pentagon.
  • $120,000,000 for alternative energy research within the Air Force, Army, and Navy. According to Sen. John McCain, the Navy has spent in excess of $400 per gallon for approximately 20,000 gallons of algae-based biofuel.
  • $3,000,000 for "aquatic plant control".
  • $3,388,000 for "national fish hatchery system operations".
  • $114,770,000 for the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF), which supports global democratization efforts.
  • $18,000,000 to rebuild the government's recovery.gov website. Indian IT firms could have done this project for less than $50,000.
  • $10,000,000 to build a one-mile, 20-lane highway outside of Salt Lake City.
  • $19,000,000 free-clam program to benefit people who have never eaten clams.
  • $1,800,000 million to study why pigs smell.
  • $1,900,000 million for a water taxi in Connecticut.
7. “When there’s a bill on my desk as president, you – the public – will have five days to look at it online and find out what’s in it before I sign it.”
a. (Video) Not even one credible attempt at this initiative.
8. In 2009, Obama submitted his 2009 IRS tax return which shows him using a Connecticut social security number that fails the government’s E-verify background check. The SSN is tied to a Harrison J. Bounel. The Social Security Administration does not recycle social security numbers and duplicate use is a red flag for identity fraud. Bounel is reportedly a relative of Michelle Robinson, Obama’s wife.
9. In May 2012, the president's former literary agent Acton & Dystel produced an unpublished leaflet stating that Obama was “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii”. The promotional booklet was written in 1991. In the vast majority of cases, authors write their own bio which implies that Obama himself stated that he was “born in Kenya”.
10. Post meetings between federal agencies and lobbyists online.
a. Never happened. In 2013, it was disclosed that the Environmental Protection Agency caved in to lobbying pressure from the American Chemical Association and reversed itself on enhancing drinking water safety standards.
11. “When there’s a tax bill being debated in congress, you would know the names of the corporations that would benefit and how much money they would get.”
a. (Video) Never happened.
12. “We would put every corporate tax break and every pork barrel spending on the online for every American to see, and you will know who asked for them. And you can decide whether your representatives are actually representing you.”
a. Not this one either. But the sheeple applauded at the time.
13. “. . . broadcasting [health care] negotiations on C-SPAN so the American people can see what the choices are. Because what we have to do is enlist the American people in this process.”
a. (Video) On the contrary, Obama encouraged congressional leaders to skip conference committee negotiations on the healthcare reform act. C-SPAN CEO Brian Lamb sent a letter to Obama and congressional leaders requesting television coverage of the negotiations. His request was denied. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs refused to answer questions about the broken campaign pledge.
14. “I’m in this race to tell the lobbyists in Washington that their days of setting the agenda are over.”
a. One word: Solyndra. One taxpayer-funded loan down the drain: $500 million. The Washington Post reported in 2012 that lobbyists are a constant presence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
15. Obama’s official Facebook page shows a doctored photo of Ann Dunham, his mother, having a right hand of an African American man.
16. In 2012, the New York Times reported that up to 70 percent of Obama’s Twitter followers are fake.
17. “They [lobbyists] will not work in my White House.”
a. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, at least 374 people in the Obama administration are known lobbyists. Several work in the White House due to a loophole in the executive order on lobbyists that Obama signed in 2009.
18. “Lobbyists won’t drown out your voice when I am president of the United States of America.”
a. According to the New York Times, at least 15 “bundlers” who raised money for Obama’s campaign efforts are current or former lobbyists.
b. As a U.S. senator from Illinois, Obama issued a public apology for reaping a $300,000 discount on his $1.65 million mansion in Illinois from convicted lobbyist Tony Rezko.
19. “. . . having inherited a trillion dollar deficit . . .”
a. (Video) Obama created trillion dollar deficits, and is projected to create the biggest budget deficits in U.S. history. In 2013, the deficit is projected to be $977 billion. When Bush left office in 2008, the deficit was $438 billion for the year. Obama never inherited “trillion dollar deficits”. That’s a lie.
20. “We need to focus on what we need to move the American economy forward, not on what’s nice to have.”
a. In his first term, Obama’s signature legislation was Obamacare, which is the single biggest tax increase in American history. Not jobs or the economy. He blocked construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline which would have immediately created tens of thousands of jobs.
21. “. . . as we develop a full budget . . . we’re gonna go through our books page by page . . .”
a. The U.S. senate has illegally refused to pass a budget since 2009 because Democrats, led by Harry Reid, won’t let the item go to the full floor for a vote. (Video) Obama can easily pressure senate Democrats to pass a budget, as federal law requires each year, but he won’t do it.
22. “ . . . we’re gonna go through our books page by page, line by line, to eliminate waste and inefficiency.”
a. Spending items and pork barrel projects still costs taxpayers tens of billions of dollars each year on useless projects. According to the Citizens Against Government Waste, the Obama administration spent $20 million on a demonstration project to build wooden bridges, $1.2 million to study the sexual behavior of woodchucks, $2 million to construct ancient Hawaiian canoes, $1 million to preserve a sewer as a historical monument, and $19 million to study the gas emissions of cow farts. Yes, cow farts.
23. “We have already identified over $2 trillion dollars in deficit reductions that will help us cut our deficit in half by the end of my first term.
a. Instead of cutting the government’s annual budget deficit in half, Obama has more than doubled it.
24. “The process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now (2009) . . .”
a. (Video) Four years later, Guantanamo is still open and Obama has no intention of closing it down.
25. In 2004, then-U.S. senator Barack Obama said that there was no (policy) difference between him and George W. Bush on the war on terrorism.
a. When running for president, Obama repeatedly vilified George W. Bush and claimed that he was always against the war on Iraq.
26. “I’m proud of our campaign because it’s based on telling the truth.”
a. In 2012, analysis done by Forbes concluded that much of Obama’s negative television ads aimed at Mitt Romney contained false claims and misleading attacks. In other words, Obama has run a campaign full of lies in 2008 and 2012.
27. In 2009, Obama told NBC that his presidency would be a “one-term proposition” if the economy did not turn around in three years.
a. In running for a second term, Obama claimed to voters that the economy had improved since taking office. That was clearly not the case. The unemployment rate hovered at 8 percent and would have been much higher of the Labor Department counted the 9 million Americans who have left the workforce since 2011. Also, by 2012 a record 46 million Americans have become dependent on food stamps.
28. In 2008, Obama said that “adding $4 trillion to the national debt is unpatriotic” in a campaign event in North Dakota.
a. Since taking office, Obama added $5.8 trillion to the national debt, which represents the largest increase under one president. Not only that, he broke the record in just one term.
29. During the 2008 presidential debates, Obama blasted George W. Bush for doubling the nation’s debt to $10 trillion.
a. As of early 2013, America’s national debt equals 104 percent of GDP. The national debt increased by 60 percent during the first four years of Obama’s presidency. That’s a rate higher than George W. Bush’s eight years in office.
30. In 2006, Sen. Barack Obama said, “Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America’s debt limit.”
a. (Video) In April 2011, White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Obama "regrets" voting against raising the debt ceiling in 2006 as U.S. senator. As president, he had flip flopped on the issue. In 2012, Obama proposed to congress that he be given the unilateral authority to increase the debt ceiling on the federal government. This is against the constitution which assigns the government’s spending and borrowing powers solely with the legislative branch.
31. As an Illinois state senator, Obama opposed gay marriage. During both inaugurations, he also swore – with his hand on the bible – to uphold the laws of the land.
a. (Video) After occupying higher political office, Obama began to support gay marriage. More troubling, he ordered the Justice Department to refuse to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act which was signed into law during the presidency of Bill Clinton.
32. “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that.”
a. Obama’s infamous words on July 13, 2012 that almost cost him re-election. The White House would later claim that Obama’s words were taken out of context. Common sense dictates that Obama’s statement was a plain lie, so was the White House’s claim.
33. “Any middle class family will see their incomes go up by $3,000 because of the Recovery Act, helping them get back much of what they lost due to this recession.”
a. Despite the $831 billion stimulus bill passed in 2009, the median income has dropped by more than $3,000 to $50,100 in 2012. That’s a more than $6,000 yearly difference per U.S. household between what Obama promised in 2008 and what he delivered by the time of his re-election.
34. In a June 2012 with the White House press corps, Obama said that the “private sector is doing fine. Where we’re seeing weaknesses in our economy is in the state and local government.”
a. Thus, Obama claimed, during the worst recovery in the nation’s history, that the economy is “doing fine” and that the government, at all levels, needed to grow despite America’s unsustainable debt and spending levels. When he made the statement, the number of Americans relying on food stamps had doubled since Obama first took office. Even the president’s former adviser, Steven Rattner, did not think that the private sector was “doing fine”.
35. In early July 2011, Obama said that he'd "be turning [50-years-old] in a week". However, his submitted birth certificate shows that he was born on August 4, or three full weeks after the date of the press conference.
36. Obama's INS documents at the national archives are missing for the entire week (around August 1961) in which Ann Dunham was supposed to have returned to the United States with young Barack in tow.
37. In 2007, then-Senator Obama said he wanted to make sure no American is without access to vital medical attention.
a. Even after passage of Obamacare, health experts estimate that in 2014 over 22 million Americans will still lack access to basic health services.
38. In 2007, Obama said, “If American workers are being denied their right to organize and collectively bargain when I’m in the White House . . . I’ll walk on that picket line with you as President of the United States of America.”
a. There have been state-level efforts in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio, Maine, Florida and Indiana to curtail collective bargaining rights. Obama has never appeared in a single protest rally.
39. In 2008, candidate Obama pushed for reform of the Patriot Act. He also called for enhanced judicial oversight and a reduction of certain warrantless searches.
a. (Video) During his first term, Obama resisted any reforms to the sweeping spy law and sought to extend the Patriot Act. He also used extensive use of drone killings that have resulted in the deaths of American citizens overseas without granting those individuals due process, judicial or legislative oversight.
40. In 2008, candidate Obama promised that he would end the war in Afghanistan by July 2011. In a campaign speech, he said "you can take that one to the bank".
a. (Video) At the time of his campaign speeches, most military leaders did not believe Obama’s timeline was realistic. The president has since targeted 2014 as his deadline for withdrawing most, not necessarily all, U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
41. In September 2012, the Obama administration blamed the Benghazi attacks on a purported YouTube video that attacked Islam.
a. (Video) The eight-hour ordeal, which resulted in the deaths of four Americans, was a planned attack by Al Qaeda fighters.
42. In the aftermath of the Benghazi attacks, Obama claimed that he was in constant communication with his staff and national security apparatus. He also claimed to have issued “three directives” to protect diplomats.
a. During congressional hearings in February 2013, defense secretary Leon Panetta and joint chiefs chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey admitted under oath that they only had one phone call with the president during the Libya attacks.
43. In April 2012, Obama claimed that if the Supreme Court overturned Obamacare, the high court’s actions would constitute “judicial overreach”.
a. The constitution grants the judicial branch the authority to limit the powers of the legislative and executive branches of government. Obama was a lecturer on constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Yet, he failed to grasp this elementary lesson on the U.S. constitution and the separation of powers between the three branches of government. Judge Andrew Napolitano, a constitutional scholar, remarked that when the president questions whether or not the Supreme Court has the authority to invalidate the statute, it “belies the history of the country and the president’s education of that history.”
44. “Let me be absolutely clear: if you are a family making less than $250,000 a year . . . you will not see your taxes go up.”
a. (Video) Obamacare is considered the largest tax increase in U.S. history. Additionally, Obama has proposed multiple tax increases throughout his first and second terms. Just sixteen days into his presidency back in 2009, he signed into law and increase in the federal excise tax on tobacco. All smokers making less than $250,000 a year saw their taxes go up.
45. In 2008, then-candidate Obama said “If you choose change, you will have a nominee who doesn't take a dime from Washington lobbyists and PACs.”
a. (Video) By the 2012 November elections, Obama’s Super Pacs had raised hundreds of millions of dollars and were run by former White House staffers. The campaign also received tens of millions of dollars from groups, such as Solyndra, who received government bailout money or guaranteed loans. Records show that Obama ranked second only to Chris Dodd in the entire congress in receiving donations from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac which were responsible for the housing collapse and financial crisis of 2008.
46. Throughout the 2012 campaign, Obama pushed for ending the Bush-era tax cuts.
a. (Video) In reality, he agreed to extend the tax cuts which contained certain tax advantages for the wealthy.
47. Cap-and-Trade. In 2007, then-senator Obama said “As President, I will set a hard cap on all carbon emissions at a level that scientists say is necessary to curb global warming — an 80 percent reduction by 2050.”
a. (Video) After Democrats in congress suffered heavy losses in 2012, Obama reversed himself on Cap-and-Trade. "[Cap-and-trade] was just one way of skinning the cat; it was not the only way. It was a means, not an end."
48. In 2008, Obama promised to send people to the moon by 2020, and then Mars. One campaign material said “He endorses the goal of sending human missions to the Moon by 2020, as a precursor in an orderly progression to missions to more distant destinations, including Mars.”
a. (Video) Obama ended NASA’s space shuttle program on August 31, 2011. America is now dependent on Russia for trips to the International Space Station.
49. In 2008, Obama supported a federal guarantee that all employers provide seven paid sick days per year.
a. Hardly tried to get this done. Never happened once he got elected.
50. In 2008, Obama promised to introduce a comprehensive immigration reform bill in congress by the end of his first year in office.
a. By spring of 2013, three years later, he still hasn’t introduced a bill in congress. In February 2013, a proposal was leaked by an administration official to USA Today. It discloses that Obama wants full amnesty for over 11 million illegals.
51. In a 2008 speech in Jordan, Obama said “Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.”
a. (Video) Throughout his presidency, Obama has been lambasted for alienating Israel. His nominee for secretary of defense, Chuck Hagel, has repeatedly made anti-Israel remarks in public, and considers Israel a bigger threat to stability in the Middle East than Iran. In 2012, Obama famously ignored Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request for an urgent meeting when Netanyahu was visiting America.
52. In 2008, without his teleprompter, Obama told a crowd in Oregon that he has campaigned at all “57 states”.
a. Even grade school kids know what’s wrong with this statement.
53. In 2008, then-candidate Obama gave a radio interview in which he spoke about his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham. “She is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away . . . and that's just the nature of race in our society.”
a. (Video) In other words, Obama believes that a “typical white person” in American society automatically has an adverse reaction towards other ethnic groups.
54. In 2009, Obama said “ . . . there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died – an entire town destroyed.”
a. (Video) A president has a duty to understand the nature of a tragedy. The Kansas tornado he was referring to killed 12 people, not 10,000.
55. “I am not an ideologue. I’m not”
a. (Video) Hello, anyone home?
56. In 2009, Obama promised to end the income tax for seniors making less than $50,000. “Will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This will eliminate taxes for 7 million seniors -- saving them an average of $1,400 a year – and will also mean that 27 million seniors will not need to file an income tax return at all.”
a. After taking office, Obama never proposed legislation honoring such a promise and never covered the subject again.
57. In 2008, candidate Obama promised to end all no-bid contracts over $25,000. “Will ensure that federal contracts over $25,000 are competitively bid.”
a. Since taking office, Obama never ordered the Office of Management and Budget to require competitive bids for government contracts over $25,000.
58. In an effort to secure votes from battleground states like Florida, in 2007 then-candidate Obama said that he will double federal spending on cancer research. “ . . .will double federal funding for cancer research within 5 years, focusing on NIH (National Institutes of Health) and NCI (National Cancer Institute).”
a. Obama increased the budget by just 8.3 percent in his most recent budget (2012).
59. During the 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed four Americans, Obama claimed that he was in constant communication with his national security team. On November 4, David Axelrod, Obama's senior adviser, appeared on Fox News Sunday and he told Chris Wallace, "When word of the attack campaign, the president was meeting with his top national security folks."
a. Not true. In February 2013, Leon Panetta told a congressional hearing that the president only had one phone call with his secretary of defense and military advisers while the eight-hour attack took place. White House staffers also attributed the consulate attack to a YouTube video when intelligence officials knew it was a terrorist plot organized by Al Qaeda. An unreleased CBS video shows Obama admitting that the attack was planned by Muslim radicals but the footage was never aired on national television.
60. In 2012, Obama was secretly taped telling Russian president Dmitry Medvedev, "This is my last election . . . After my election, I'll have more flexibility." Obama was talking about U.S. missile defense.
a. (Video) Self explanatory.

VOTER FRAUD IN NORTH CAROLINA. SUPREME COURT COMPLICIT IN HIJACKING AMERICA

Elections Bureaucrats Ran Amok

In a blatantly partisan move, the staff of the North Carolina State Board of Elections (SBE) successfully subverted state law to facilitate online voter registration in North Carolina by the 2012 Barak Obama campaign. In doing so they coordinated with partisans behind closed doors, lied about the NC Attorney General’s Office concurring with the SBE staff on the issue, and dodged oversight by their own board and the legislature. The end result was to add thousands of people to the North Carolina voter rolls illegally.
The SBE staff’s audacity is so breath-taking that it’s hard to believe, so let us emphasize:  The Civitas Institute has documented how SBE bureaucrats conspired with a private company, working for the Obama campaign[i], to facilitate a form of online voter registration for the 2012 General Election – in violation of state law. It’s a classic example of how bureaucrats ignore the democratic process and hijack an agency for partisan purposes.

Breaking the Law

Civitas initiated a series of public records requests to uncover this scheme concerning online registration in defiance of state law.
NCGS 163-82.6(b) clearly states that the only form where an electronically captured signature can be used is one offered by a state agency:
NCGS 163-82.6 (b) Signature – The form shall be valid only if signed by the applicant. An electronically captured image of the signature of a voter on an electronic voter registration form offered by a State agency shall be considered a valid signature for all purposes for which a signature on a paper voter registration form is used. [Emphasis added]
The major use for this is for voter registration when people get their drivers licenses.
Yet the SBE staff set in motion a scheme that in the last two months of the election resulted in more than 11,000 people being allowed to register online. Civitas has confirmed this by a public records request to all 100 counties and is still compiling the total number of registrations as counties comply with the request. Thus far, 68 percent of the registrations we have received were Democratic voters, 10 percent were Republican voters and 21 percent from unaffiliated voters.
Don Wright, SBE General Counsel, played word games when answering inquires about the Obama campaign’s own re-election site Gottaregister.com, which utilized the technology that SBE staff approved.  Wright repeatedly denied that the SBE allowed online voter registration, insisting that it was “web-based voter registration”[ii] instead, as if there could be a “web-based” process that wasn’t online.
The technology from Allpoint Voter Services uses remote-control pens to transmit “signatures” over the Internet, according to techpresident.com[iii]. After entering voter information in an online form, the citizen “signs” it with a stylus or a finger. The Allpoint technology records the signature and then transmits it to one of two autopens – one in California, the other in Nevada[iv]. One of the pens transcribes the signature on to a paper voter registration form. Allpoint then mails the documents to local election boards – or is supposed to, a point we’ll come back to.
To say this is not “online” registration but “web-based” is like saying a certain vehicle is not a car, it’s an automobile. The point of having a “wet signature” – one in ink – is to provide a universally accepted way proving that a prospective voter is affirming in person all the facts on the form. To have an auto pen inserted at one point in this long computerized process is a far different thing. Even the Obama campaign called it online voter registration. Because, no matter how you twist words around, that’s what it is.
North Carolina law does not authorize any kind of online voter registration, however “wet” or “web-based” it might be. Neither the term “wet signatures” nor the phrase “reduced to paper” appear in the NC General Statutes. The term “wet signature[v]” was put in use in the context of elections by Allpoint Voter Services promoting the product it was providing to the Obama campaign. “Wet signature” is a term that Wright returns to often, even in the legal opinion he authored to support the staff decision.

Following the Paper Trail

The scheme appears to go back at least three years, beginning with cautious probes into the topic. The oldest document found pertaining to online voter registration was uncovered in a previous, unrelated Civitas records request to the SBE.  It is a letter to Attorney General Roy Cooper[vi] from Gary Bartlett, Executive Director of the SBE, dated September 11, 2009, formally requesting an advisory opinion of the “effect NCGS 66-311 Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) upon possible electronic voter registration.”  That in itself is a bit odd, as UETA is the state law governing commercial transactions in general, and is in a totally different section of the state’s legal code from the election laws. Bartlett asked specifically whether UETA would make it permissible for a county board of elections to accept an electronically submitted voter registration application that has been electronically signed. Bartlett also asked the AG if voter registration is outside the scope of UETA.
Since we did not have a reply to Bartlett’s request, we submitted a records request on January 16, 2013, to the Attorney General’s Office. In answer to our request, Special Deputy Attorney General Susan Nichols informed Civitas that Bartlett orally withdrew the written request in question before a response was prepared.
The next documents[vii] in the timeline can be attributed to the Attorney General’s Office also. Nichols forwarded to Civitas a string of emails dated April 12 – 13, 2010. The emails were a conversation between Nichols and David Becker, Director of Election Initiatives for the Pew Center on the States. Nichols, on behalf of Gary Bartlett, was seeking contact with other states that had adopted UETA.  Bartlett wanted to know if the other states chose to also adopt new legislation to facilitate electronic voter registration. Yet why would Bartlett need the AG’s Office to be the go-between? Did he want to keep his profile low?
This inquiry into UETA also appeared to die after an email from Becker to Ms. Nichols. He included a list of states that had passed some form of online voter registration: Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
We could surmise from these two tentative inquiries that the SBE was hoping UETA would supersede NCGS 163-82.6, the only North Carolina election statute that speaks to the use of electronic voter registrations.  We might also suspect that the conversation stopped abruptly with both these inquiries because the SBE could not risk a written decision that would prevent it from forging ahead with its online voter registration scheme.

Party Politics

The SBE staff’s following move shows their deep collaboration with Obama allies. The next document pertaining to online voter registration was dated more than a year later, on August 23, 2011. Gary Bartlett was forwarded an email from Veronica Degraffenreid[viii], SBE Elections Liaison, with the link to consulting firm Catapult Strategies, specifically the page that introduces Jude Barry. Barry is Catapult’s CEO and co-founder and is co-founder of Verafirma and Allpoint Strategies.
Jude Barry’s political credentials would be considered stellar in Democratic/liberal circles. According to the Catapult site; “In December 2006, he created the Obama for America Draft Committee, the first political committee to raise thousands of dollars online to encourage then-Senator Obama to run for the Presidency.” The Catapult website elaborates on Barry’s political accomplishments[ix] by noting that he began his career in politics as Senator Edward Kennedy’s press aide and later deputy political director. He also worked on presidential bids by liberal Democrats Gary Hart, Richard Gephardt and Howard Dean.
The next day, August 24, 2011, Peter Allen, Lead Organizer for Verafirma, contacted Gary Bartlett by email[x] in reference to a phone call he had with the SBE staff. Note that Allen is also an Associate on the Catapult Strategies team.
Catapult Strategies, Inc. describes itself as “a Silicon Valley-based social media, public relations, and political consulting firm with strong ties to and extensive knowledge of Silicon Valley business and political communities.”  Verafirma is a technology company whose projects include the use of electronic signatures for politics. The firm is featured on Catapult Strategies’ website as a “related company.”
On the Catapult site, Allen’s bio refers[xi] to Democratic connections too, “Peter has dedicated the past few years developing a rich understanding of online social media tools and how they can be used to empower and mobilize people on behalf of a candidate or cause. He saw this potential come to fruition as an organizer on Barack Obama’s historic 2008 presidential campaign ….” Allen was on the Obama campaign’s payroll in May 2008.
It is important to note that in a September 26, 2012 email to Civitas[xii], Don Wright insisted that the SBE had not been contacted by any campaign, candidate, legislator, or political party.  That looks like another word game. Catapult Strategies could easily pass for the outreach and new media wings of the Obama Campaign.
There’s a money trail too: from October 2, 2012 to October 24, 2012, according to Federal Elections Commission data, there were 12 separate payments from the Obama campaign to Allpoint Voter Services, Inc. (See table below.)
Moreover, the number of payments raises another question.  That is, there isn’t a single fee or two, but a series of fees of varying sizes as Allpoint collected signatures. Was the Obama campaign paying Allpoint Voter Services for each registration collected? Doing so would be a violation of NCGS 163‑82.6 (a) (2), which states “To sell or attempt to sell a completed voter registration form or to condition its delivery upon payment” is a class 2 misdemeanor.
SBE attorney Don Wright, in response to inquiries as to whether there was any discussion with Allpoint Voter Services in reference to payments for registrations, said that he had no direct contact with the company but Gary Bartlett, Veronica Degraffenreid and Marc Burris were the staff members who talked directly with the company. According to Wright, the company was never asked if they were being paid for each registration delivered.
We do know that not all forms completed on the site were accepted. Some users were told to print and mail the form on their own. This shows that they were not intending to serve all citizens, but only ones that met a preselected criterion.
After a few short emails over a matter of a few days, but without ever having talked to the company himself, Wright produced a legal opinion approving the Allpoint Voter Services voter registration technology in North Carolina. His opinion dated September 16, 2011 [xiii] claimed it was reviewed by the North Carolina Attorney’s General Office, which concurred in it. That statement is untrue (as you will see later), but since this appears to be an internal SBE staff document it went unchallenged at the time.
On September 19, 2011, Bartlett forwarded Wright’s opinion to Peter Allen. The same day, Allen emailed back and asked for the point person they will be working with to make the SBE’s part “as painless as possible.” Bartlett responded that Degraffenreid and Burris would be the points of contact going forward.[xiv]

Election Year Revelations

A year went by without evidence of discussion about the new voter registration technology, however. No documents for the period from September 19, 2011 to September 11, 2012 were turned over as part of our public records request, almost a year of silence on this by the SBE staff.  This silence was broken with less than two months to go before the General Election.
Betsy Meads, a former Pasquotank County BOE member, was the first person to ask about the online voter registration process. It was a happenstance that her son ran across the gottaregister.com website. The next day, September 11, 2012, Betsy Meads sent an email[xv] questioning Don Wright as to the legality of the President’s online voter registration site.  She wrote, “This is contrary to the Statute as I read it, and as I was just in Chapel Hill at training for local board members August 14th, I’m sure I didn’t hear anything about electronic registrations in NC being allowed.” The SBE held the Annual Training for Elections Officials on August 13-14, 2012.[xvi]
On September 13, 2012, Wright delivered an answer to Meads – which was also the answer he gave later to Civitas and one other person who would ask the question about registering to vote online in North Carolina: “There is no online voter registration[xvii] allowed in North Carolina ….” He also forwarded Ms. Meads the legal opinion he had written in 2011 which stated that the North Carolina Attorney’s General Office had concurred in it.
As previously referenced, the statement that the AG’s office had concurred is false. In an email I received from the Attorney General’s office, dated September 18, 2012, Susan Nichols informed Don Wright that she did not concur[xviii] in that decision. In fact, before she had taken her post with the AG, the AG’s office ended the procedure of allowing attorneys to state they concur in an opinion they did not author.
By the time Wright received Nichols’ email, revelations about the online registrations were breaking into the open.
In what appeared to be a move to head off any problems at the local level, on September 18, 2012 the SBE notified the 100 counties to expect a new kind of voter registration. Veronica Degraffenreid sent the email to the County Directors[xix], explaining, describing and defending the new registrations. This email explanation went out just over a month after the SBE had election representatives from across the state at a training session in Chapel Hill – at which they never mentioned this new kind of registration.
Her email went out a day after Gary Bartlett received an email from George Gilbert, Guilford County BOE Director, reporting that they had received “a good number of registration forms from Allpoint Voter Services.” Gilbert went on to say they contained signatures that were “immediately suspect.[xx]” The timing of the responses to Meads and to the counties raises the question of when, if ever, the state SBE would have brought the online registrations to the notice of the counties. Were SBE bureaucrats hoping no one would bring up the online registrations until after all the votes were certified?
Subsequently other counties questioned these forms and offered some observations about problems with them. For example, the Duplin County BOE Director said, “The part we find the most questionable is the similarity of all the signatures ….” Rockingham County wrote, “The forms have info typed in and the signatures all resemble each other and it appears the envelope was addressed with the same marking pen.” Rockingham County also noted one signature did not match the voter’s registration with the DMV.
There are many problems and questions about the decision that the SBE bureaucrats’ made in relation to registering to vote online. For instance, Betsy Meads used gottaregister.com to change her party affiliation from Republican to unaffiliated.  Once she “signed” her iPhone, she was informed that her registration would be forwarded to her local BOE. That didn’t happen: 36 hours later she received an email with a link to her registration.  She was told to print the form, sign it and then mail it to the SBE. Did the Obama Campaign prioritize registrations? Did they send some registrations directly to the elections board and decide that others could be sent to the voters?
Perhaps most disturbing, the SBE staff apparently tried to keep this all from the view of the public and even county elections boards until mere weeks before the election, which raises the disturbing question of whether those involved were aiding a last-minute registration surge planned by the Obama campaign.
This is not an isolated incident[xxi], but just one more example of how the SBE staff flouts the law, the legislature and their own board in order to further a partisan agenda. All North Carolina citizens should be aware of the importance of reforming the SBE so that it carries on its duties in a transparent manner, with full regard for the democratic process and in a way that instills trust in the North Carolina election system.

Backdoor Gun Registration via Insurance Requirements!

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS BACKDOOR APPROACH TO GUN REGISTRATION !!!

Once they have your name on an insurance file they can come for you to confiscate your guns... when they are ready for the PURGE !!

Unarmed citizens are easier to control and round up than armed Patriots!



Via The Washington Times:
A bill introduced in the New York State Assembly by Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, would require the state’s residents to acquire liability insurance as a condition for gun ownership.
“Any person in this state who shall own a firearm shall, prior to such ownership, obtain and continuously maintain a policy of liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars specifically covering any damages resulting from any negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person,” the measure, dubbed S2353, reads.
Any person who has not purchased insurance in compliance with the law within 30 days of its passing would be in violation of the law.
Such an occurrence “shall result in the immediate revocation of such owner’s registration, license and any other privilege to own such firearm.”
The bill also states that if a gun is stolen, the legal owner of that gun is responsible for any damage incurred until a loss or theft is reported to the police department.
Liability insurance for $1 million in coverage for gun owners is estimated to cost between $1,600 and $2,000 annually, the Examiner reports.
The bill has been referred to the Assembly’s Insurance Committee.
Mr. Ortiz represents a district in the New York borough of Brooklyn.



The Judiciary at the highest level has been corrupted. Now there is NO LAW OR ORDER IN AMERICA..

HANG THE BASTARDS... ALL NINE JUSTICES AND THEIR LAW CLERKS.


DID YOU KNOW.... THAT
4 AFRICAN CLERKS LOYAL TO THE AFRICAN REGIME IN POWER DID NOT CIRCULATE THE BRIEFS TO 5 of the 9 JUSTICES...

THERE IS NO LAW IN AMERICA TODAY.. ALL LAWS ARE MOOT IF THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND HAS NO LAWS...

KAGAN AND SOTEMEYOR SHOULD HAVE RECUSED THEMSELVES... THIS IS NOW OFFICIALLY A KENYAN KANGAROO COURT ( OR IS A KENYAN CAMEL COURT?? )

UPDATE: "Attorney Orly Taitz continues with the demand for the Judiciary Committee to investigate the fact that 5 out 9 Justices of the Supreme Court never saw the case supposedly heard in conference by the Supreme Court and all 9 never saw the supplemental brief filed with SCOTUS, as 5 original sets of briefs were sent back and all supplemental briefs were sent back and never docketed.

An order by the Supreme Court shows a notation after case 12A712 applications denied, which appear to relate to case 12A606, however evidence shows that the case was not heard at all as 5 out of 9 Justices never even got a packet with pleadings.

There are 7 other cases that are proceeding in other courts.

While a part of those cases might be considered moot, such as stays of certifications, the bulk of the cases is not moot, such as Declaratory Relief and RICO (racketeering) cases. ..." - Law Office of Orly Taitz.



On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of the United States rejected a birther eligibility case against President Barack Obama. Docket No. 12A606 entitled Noonan v. Bowen is listed on the SCOTUS website. On Feb. 19, the nation's highest court stated:
Feb 19 2013 Application (12A606) denied by the Court.
The plaintiffs contend that Obama used forged government IDs and a fake social security number in order to run for political office. (See YouTube video at the bottom on CNN's 2008 story on Obama's alleged real father Frank Marshall Davis, a card-carrying communist who the president mentions in his autobiography Dreams from My Father.)
On Tuesday, Orly Taitz - an attorney for the plaintiffs - conveyed some additional allegations against the president beyond what was included in Noona's case pleadings. This week, an unidentified source has informed the California-based lawyer that the reason why Michelle Robinson Obama (a graduate of Harvard Law School) ceased to have a law license in Illinois is because she got in trouble for letting Barack Obama use a relative's social security number (Harrison J. Bounel).
The SSN 042-68-4425 is simultaneously tied to Obama and Bounel in background check systems. The source's claim is unsubstantiated. However, birthers are currently investigating the allegation.
On Tuesday, the plaintiffs also protested lower-level clerks' decision to withhold the Supplemental Brief and other case pleadings from several of the Supreme Court justices. Taitz had vouched for a thorough review of the arguments to as many of the high court's judges.
Court records show that on Dec. 26, 2012, or three weeks before Obama's second inauguration, Chief Justice John Roberts reversed Justice Anthony Kennedy's rejection and ordered the case distributed for conference on Feb. 15.
Related: Is Obama a pathalogical liar?
However, on that day SCOTUS released its list of granted petitions and Noonan v. Bowen was not included. Tuesday's decision is a major setback for the birther movement as the federal government's judicial branch has rejected hearing the case.
While there are multiple lower-level lawsuits, such as in California and Washington, birthers now appear to be targeting members of congress to initiate formal hearings which could lead to impeachment of the president.
Impeachment is highly unlikely given that Democrats control the U.S. senate. House Republicans have also been unwilling to investigate Obama's personal and professional background in light of urgent tasks, including the need to address the March 1 sequestration cuts. During the 2012 presidential elections, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his Super Pacs also abstained from questioning Obama's eligibility to serve as president.
On Feb. 17, Taitz sent a request for an investigation to Rep. Bob Goodlatte (Virginia, Republican), who serves as chair of the judiciary committee in the house of representatives.
Plaintiffs and their attorney are demanding an immediate investigation of both the actions of the employees of the Supreme Court of the United States in hiding pleadings and exhibits from the Justices and Barack Obama’s use of forged IDs and a stolen Social Security 042-68-4425.
Thus far, an online petition requesting a formal investigation into the president's government IDs and SSN have resulted in over 32,000 letters and emails to members of congress.

ITS TIME FOR 
REVOLUTION IN AMERICA


Tuesday, February 19, 2013

Are you ready for revolution. Its coming whether you like it or not!






Is It Time to Organize the Revolution?


“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.” -Patrick Henry
libgun
Think about it....are you ready for revolution. Its coming whether you like it or not!
Well on December 15th  2013, people were still not saying what needed to be said and I suppose I was one of the first to say it. It is not about deer hunting and we are all covered by a second amendment which is about our rights to protect ourselves from tyranny. So I said it. If they come for your guns it is not only your right but your responsibility to fight. Yes, that includes firing upon them. It’s not about hunting deer. The second amendment is about hunting tyrants.
Since pushing the “publish” button, I have had literally hundreds of conversations with people who believe that tyranny is an unchecked virus within our own federal government. I get so many messages every day that I can literally not respond to all of them. So, today I want to talk about where we go from here.
It is a growing conception that we can not wait. While we sit and wait, our government continues an all out assault on our rights as free men and women of the United States of America. Many people believe that there is no peaceful alternative. Many people believe that we must organize and fight. Today I can offer no concrete set of actions but I do want to lay out some thoughts that I think need to be discussed.
First I need to tell you that I sincerely believe that the government is, in a twisted way, hoping that a small group of Patriots will organize and start a half-cocked rebellion. I think they realize that this can happen and also realize that it can strengthen their case for gun control. I would not put it past them to stage such an event.
I believe that a small, poorly planned rebellion will do us more harm than good. It will be easily suppressed and it will give the powers that be even more ammunition for a declaration of martial law. It is my belief that martial law, or a “police state,” is the end goal of this administration. IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY CAN SUCCEED.. GIVEN OUR NUMBERS AND OUR RESOLUTION. You don’t have to look hard to see that they are preparing for it. As recently as a few months ago the Reverend Jesse Jackson was even asking for it in his home town of Chicago.
We must understand that there are literally millions of people who have concluded that letters, petitions, peaceful demonstrations and elections are not working. They are in agreement that revolution is the only way to potentially fix this problem. But if a small group of 50 or even 500 people start the revolt, it is likely to go nowhere. We must develop a united front and we must go through proper channels. We can not skirt the law to try to uphold it.
The problem I see, once again, is the same problem that I witnessed 45 days ago. Everyone is waiting for someone to take the lead. So TODAY I AM CALLING FOR ACTION NATIONWIDE!!

With that said, I want to tell you that I am nothing more than a blogger. I don’t have any grand visions of being elected to any office but I am a fairly skilled military strategist.

I am not an advanced “prepper” or survival expert. I am nothing special. I suppose the only thing truly special about me is that I am not afraid to speak my mind. I still understand that this is my God-given right as an American citizen.
ndaa 

I know full well that the first amendment in this country is currently an illusion. I know that writing this could get me arrested or killed. If you were to ask me if I was afraid I would simply answer that yes I am afraid, but I am more afraid of what will happen to our country if people do not begin to speak up.
I understand and follow the methods our current administration and lawmakers are using to take away our most basic rights. They can detain me indefinitely. If they choose to see me as an enemy of the state they can do worse. There will be no due process. It will not matter how many people support me. I can be made to disappear and become a non-factor. So why am I speaking about this?
Once again, it’s because someone has to. Until someone starts to speak of these things we have zero chance to change anything. We can’t fight the destruction of America with splintered cells of people who are afraid to raise their voices. We must be United. This is not negotiable.

I will not endorse an open attack (violent or non-violent) upon the federal government unless and until I feel like we have given them one last chance to represent us. As of now I think they have failed.
wetheppl 

The first thing that “We the People” must do is set forth a list of our demands. This is our country. We need to pinpoint every change that we wish to see made and we must deliver these to the lawmakers. WE MUST OFFER THE MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR That is one thing that I can do, but I can not do it alone. We will need massive response. The only way that will happen is if this post goes viral like the post from 45 days ago. 

I can not guarantee that will happen, but I can guarantee it will happen if millions of people are truly in support of this revolution. Time will tell.
If we get little response then I will assume that my theories are wrong. The people will decide. I’ve been wrong before. It would not be the first time.
netcontrol

Here is what I need. I need people to list executive orders and laws that are in violation of our constitutional rights (list everything in the comments below). We will be demanding that these laws and executive orders be repealed.
I need open discussion of what we need to do with the people currently in office.

Do we call for new elections?
Can we literally remove them all?
We are talking about more than Obama here.
We have to understand that many people have been compliant (Republicans and Democrats) with the policies and actions that we too easily credit to Obama.
This is not a problem isolated to one person.

My thought is that they should keep their jobs if they start to work within the framework of the constitution. But if they do not then we will have to forcibly remove them.
Make no mistake the constitution is the law of this land, not public opinion.
We need to discuss policies (foreign and domestic) and cabinet appointments as well. We need to literally make a list of everything that needs to change. We can’t expect everything to change 13603immediately but we must address the issues that are important to freedom. We must list things that are constitutionally based. In other words, I don’t like everything about my government but my major concerns are the things that blatantly violate the constitution. I have to focus on these things and not merely on my opinions. Unless we can constitutionally support our arguments we have no credibility.
What we must do is first gather volumes of ideas and then start putting them into a format that we can use. We can’t just start shooting politicians. That will get us nowhere but dead or in jail. 
Let’s get our ideas out in the open. We will then gather again to vote on the constitutional relevancy of certain opinions before we submit them to the White House and both branches of our legislature. If they have our “constitutionally based” demands in print and choose not to respond in a manner that we feel conducive to change, then we will move forward to our only remaining option. It will be time bear arms against our government.
borI feel like we have no grounds to call for the revolt until we first present our conditions to our elected officials.

 If this post falls dead in the water with 5 or even 50 comments then we are going nowhere.
This is the time for people of America to speak up if they really want to make changes in this government. Once we have all the terms and conditions ironed out we will formally petition our government. If that goes no where then we will look toward full use of our second amendment rights.
For now you must reject any new attempts to try to infringe on your second amendment rights and if you want to be involved in this “Think Tank” you must do three things for me:
  1. By all means I need to your ideas and comments below. Keep them constitutionally based. If you have no ideas or comments, at least let us know that you support us.
  2. I need you to join us on Facebook. Why is this important? Well did you notice that this is the first post on a brand new site? We have already been censored once and I need people to gather where we can inform them of developments.
  3. If you believe in this cause then you need to help us spread the word. Share it on your social networks or however you possibly can.
I will be watching the development of this post in regards to traffic and comments. I’m all in. I have made the offer. But again, if this ends up being a group of 5 or 50 people trying to push a revolution, we have nothing. The only way this works is if people unite right here and now. On an average blog post, it takes about 150-200 readers to generate 1 comment. If people can’t open their mouths this time then they will simply get what they deserve. I am putting myself out on a limb here. I will not fight for people who will not fight for themselves.
If you agree that this is the only way then you have to come out of hiding and get really loud now. You are allowed to disagree as well. This is America and I support your right to free speech. We have to know where we stand before we can make a decision to move forward.
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.” -Noah Webster
I have put myself out on a limb once before and people responded. Make no mistake, this is a frightening place to be. I have children... I am afraid for my safety and theirs, but my biggest fear is that they will have to live with the results of an American public resolved to cowardice. America must wake up. Apathetic no more! We must do something.




MOLON LABE!
