			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Should this old blog get any new readers, or those from previous views &#8211; I wonder now, 2.5 years later, just how people who supported Obama feel about him now?  So many claims of racism for criticizing, or questioning.  But the time past has made it quite clear that this blogger&#8217;s predictions and concerns have been born out &#8211; alas.  The problem is that the issues are far greater than most expected or assumed &#8211; primarily because so few connect the dots, disparate as they may be, to reflect the big picture.  The big picture is the long-existing objective to topple America, our economy and currency &#8211; and to turn our wealth into the IMF and World Bank.  We are under attack by a number of forces, not the least of which is George Soros who has emerged to be visible, overt, and the most evil entity on earth!    There is much to come in the remainder of 2011 and in 2012 &#8211; and if it all comes to pass, America as we know it will be gone forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#002060;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Dick Morris is often on FOX, providing a ‘conservative’ view of this campaign.  But, did you know that less than 2 years ago Morris was in Kenya – at a press conference with Ralia Odinga, where he told Kenyans that he was going to manage Odinga’s campaign, pro bono?  Or that Obama donated a chunk of money to Odinga’s campaign, along with the pro bono value of Morris’ work?  (see link to campaign accounting below)</span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;"><span style="font-size:small;color:#002060;font-family:Verdana;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#002060;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Odinga, the thug in Kenya who called for riots if he lost; and who has an agreement with Muslims to make Sharia law the law of Kenya?  This seems to make Dick Morris highly suspect in all he says and does.  And I might add (if you view the videos) you will see a remarkable similarity in the Odinga rhetoric and call for “change” to that of his cousin, Obama (who was over there about the same time as Morris).</span></span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#002060;"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">(note the list of donors to Odinga – “Friends of Senator BO” – according to a person in Kenya, that donation equals $1 million US and was from both Dick Morris and Barack Obama !!!!  And Dick Morris donated his time to organize and run the Odinga campaign!!!! </span></span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">It is now election day &#8211; and many of us hold anxiety that is palpable!  We worry that too many people have not really looked at Obama; too many have never bothered to do any research on the guy.  Too many have closed their minds, believing that &#8216;change&#8217; in and of itself is all that is required and that Obama will deliver a change that suits us.  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Too few people &#8216;get&#8217; what is going on with Obama.  Far too few understand that the change we have coming is not the change we wanted or were told about.  And far too few realize that the real Obama is vastly different than the man behind the facade, and of those people, that have no clue what lurks behind.  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Sadly most people who have or will vote for Obama never bothered to do their homework, never took the time to investigate who the real Obama is and what his agenda is about.  They do not know they are being duped.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">What we have in this global community now is like a tipsy domino chain.  So fragile, that if a domino is moved slightly others flutter, others topple, and a chain reaction begins.  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The chain is part economics, part ideology, part security, part internal stability, part diplomacy.  Mess with any of the parts, and all are affected.</span></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Obama&#8217;s plan &#8211; and if any who may read this have not bothered to do any investigation, I urge you to Google and read two things &#8211; just two &#8211; one is about the &#8220;New Party&#8221; and the other is the Cloward-Piven Strategy.  Obama was a member of the New Party (some believe he still is, but most who have studied his background believe that the philosophy of the New Party remains at the core of Obama&#8217;s beliefs today).  And Cloward-Piven has served as the foundation of most &#8216;progressive&#8217;, radical, and/or socialist organizations, of which many are a part of Obama&#8217;s alliances (both individuals and organizations).  If you read a bit about those two topics you will have some insight into the real Obama.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Those 2 matters are the bottom line.  Much has been written about his alliances, much has been divulged about his actions over the years, much has been speculated about all the unanswered questions (some of which have been answered through research), and much has been said about the many audio and video clips of his own words.  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">If you have not bothered to assess any of that it is too late to educate you now.  But it won&#8217;t take long to look up and read about the 2 factors above.  You owe that much to yourself, to your family, your city/state/country.  It is the very least you should do and in reality you should have done a good deal of inquiry about a man with virtually nothing known about him (still).  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Today, after 2 years of observation and investigation, dozens of experts in areas of economics, energy, finance, stock market, body language, security, military, personality characteristics, media, politics, international relations have analyzed Barack Obama.  These people have no vested interest in the individual, merely the reflection of policy and impact, personality and impact, strategy and impact.  He has garnered enormous concern from most all such experts.  He&#8217;s regarded as a man who poses great danger for this country on so many levels.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Again, you should have done your research and I&#8217;m not going to attempt to inform, as I have done that for many weeks.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">History has a way of telling us what is to come based on what has been.  It applies to all nature of aspects of any civilization, country, leader, form of government.  There are huge lessons to be learned from other countries and other times, lessons that many have forgotten or never even heard about (such as Vietnam).  One lesson we need to keep at the forefront of our minds &#8211; terrorism.  Over the last several years, as each country in the West has elected a new leader, they have been struck with deadly force by terrorists &#8212; anywhere from the day before the election to 3-4 days after.</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">We know (because they have told us time and again, continually) that the terrorists (of every stripe) and their supporters (Saudis, Iranians, Hamas, Palestinians, Kenyans, etc) that their main target is the US, for which they have their biggest plans.  </span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Can we really afford on the job training during the &#8216;crisis&#8217; that Biden promised, and various military and security types indicate is likely?  Good God NO.  </span></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Well, our time is nearing the end.  We are in the transition from Republic to Democracy (massive government intervention  over the people) and about to become an Oligarchy &#8211; and that is where all bets are off, all of what we know as America dissolves.  That is when total control over the people is mounted by a &#8216;few&#8217; elites.  Those folks have been forming a line &#8211; behind Obama &#8211; and within 4 years their job will be done &#8211; the cake baked &#8211; and everything you knew, believed in, trusted &#8212; all gone.  I believe that to the core &#8211; without any shadow of a doubt.  So much do I believe it I&#8217;d bet my life on it.  </span></span></strong></p>

<div class="entry-body">
<p>Sometimes a foreigner sees us more accurately than we see ourselves.</p>
<p>From the British author Melanie Phillips, writing in The Spectator (UK):</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;You have to pinch yourself&#8212;a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists, and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently, it&#8217;s considered impolite to say so.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>Five days left.</p></div>
</div>
<div class="entry-footer">
<p class="entry-footer-info">Truly, America has gone braindead, flat-lined, unconscious, in leave of their senses.  This election shows that at least 30% of the population should not be voting (they do not get what is going on).  And the other 20% are aware of what Obama says and believe him.  Egads!</p>
<p class="entry-footer-info">Despite evidence to the contrary on ALL matters, people are willing to suspend reason in favor of believing.  Will these be the first to cry foul when the truth comes out?  What is compelling is that the very people who support Obama (be they poor or rich) will find him turn on them.  They will find that his plan is not what he says.  The left-wing Democrats with money, power, position &#8211; those in the arts, sciences, media, wealthy,  philanthropy, society, and the elderly and Jews &#8211; who find it so marvelous to have a &#8216;black man&#8217; as the next President, who find his progressive thinking so in line with their own, and who have given lavishly to his cause, will find themselves out in the cold.  They will have served their purpose.  And Obama will carry on, with his inner circle, paving the way for his master plan. </p>
<p class="entry-footer-info">Indeed, foreigners see things vastly more clearly from afar than we see at arm&#8217;s length.  Could it be any more ironic and sad?  NOPE! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>During 2008 Obama has pressed lowering taxes and sharing the wealth.  What has happened however, is that the income to not get an increase has gone from $1 million (in the Spring) down to $500,000, then down to $250,000, then $200,000 and then $150,000.</strong></p>
<p>I see a trend here.  And worse, what Obama is NOT saying is that there will be other taxes &#8211; oh so many.  Forget the death taxes, the capital gains taxes and let&#8217;s just look at the taxes piled atop an increased income tax.  <strong>The income tax will go to about 40% (for what income level we can&#8217;t be sure since it keeps dipping downward) &#8211; but on top of that will be increases in social security tax and medicare tax, taking those of you at some rate about $150,000 (or lower) up to nearly 50% !! </strong> That is ONE HALF OF EVERY DOLLAR MADE GOES TO THE GOVERNMENT to be used to pay for welfare programs and entitlements for those who don&#8217;t work.  Now I realize some of those on welfare really need it due to disability, illness etc.  No one begrudges them assistance.  But what about the billions of people who have been on the dole for decades and see no need to work? </p>
<p>The loss of half of one&#8217;s income will make a huge difference in one&#8217;s ability to support their family, possible only with a major change in lifestyle.  And keep in mind that this near <strong>50% is FEDERAL taxation and does not include sales tax, state taxes, property taxes etc.  Some people could find themselves at well over 60% taken out of their paychecks.  </strong></p>
<p>If one lives in most of the East, $250,000 is hardly wealthy due to the cost of living (i.e. $4000 a month rent for a tiny apartment in Manhattan or Boston, or in the West in San Francisco or Los Angeles).  It might be a comfortable income in Iowa or Nebraska, or Mississippi, but still, 60% taxation?  Outrageous!!</p>
<p>With all that however, economic experts have run the numbers and have determined that it is virtually impossible to give 40% of the population (those who pay no taxes) a $500-1000 a year check, pay for all the added welfare and social programs Obama indicates he will deliver) on the backs of those uber-rich and the upper middle class. </p>
<p><strong>What does that mean?  It means that most everyone is going to see tax increases &#8211; it is a Fact of Life in an Obama world.  How many entrepreneurs are going to expand business, hire new employees and increase sales under such enormous tax penalty??  NEXT TO NONE</strong></p>
<p><strong>The choise is clear on so many levels &#8211; security, cleaning up waste in government, taxation, our economy and its growth, honesty, and an open and transparent government dedicated to Free Speech and total accountability    VERSUS  an administration of secrecy, limited powers under control of a handful of people, restrictions on free speech, increased taxes, declining productivity, increased unemployment, and serious risk and exposure to foreign attack (economic, terrorism and ideological).  </strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Khalid Al-Mansour, Senior Advisor, HRH Prince Al-Waleed Bin TalalDr. Al-Mansour is an international attorney and businessman and is renowned as an intellectual, activist, author, and teacher. He co-founded the law firm of Al-Waleed, Al-Talal, and Al-Mansour and has served as a director of the Saudi African Bank and the United Bank of Africa among others.  He travels the world giving speeches against America and in support of Islam.  He and Al-Waleed have their fingers in many US businesses and real estate, from which they have made a huge sum of money. </p>
<p><strong>Al Monsour detests Jews, Christians and Whites with a passion!</strong> </p>
<p>Bin-Talal has donated millions of dollars to various American universities to sponsor and expand on Islamic studies.  It is Khalidi that is now at Columbia U in charge of Islamic and Middle East studies, where he has created a platform to promote anti-Semitism.  It is, according Percy Sutton (civil rights activist, millionaire) gave an interview in which he said that years ago Al Monsour asked him to help get Obama into Harvard, and that Obama was receiving financial backing from bin-Talal. </p>
<p>So, the trail goes thus:  Obama met Al Monsour in Chicago before going to Harvard.  Al Monsour was friends with Khalidi, and Percy Sutton.  He was also friends with Ayres, whom Obama knew.  Al Monsour introduced Obama to Khalidi and the Prince Al-Talal and the group remains allied, and includes more people, like George Soros, who also hates Jews and Israel. </p>
<p>The common thread between these men is pro Islamic philosophies, anti-Semitic attitudes, and support for Palestine.  There is great power and money within this group, ready and waiting.</p>

</table>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">The speech was sponsored by the Hudson Institute on September 25.</span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Dear friends, </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Thank you very much for inviting me. Great to be at the Four Seasons. I come from a country that has one season only: a rainy season that starts January 1st and ends December 31st. When we have three sunny days in a row, the government declares a national emergency. So Four Seasons, that&#8217;s new to me.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">It&#8217;s great to be in New York. When I see the skyscrapers and office buildings, I think of what Ayn Rand said: &#8216;The sky over New York and the will of man made visible.&#8217; Of course. Without the Dutch you would have been nowhere, still figuring out how to buy this island from the Indians. But we are glad we did it for you.. And, frankly, you did a far better job than we possibly could have done.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The danger I see looming is the scenario of America as the last man standing. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe. In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe? Patriots from around Europe risk their lives every day to prevent precisely this scenario form becoming a reality.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">My short lecture consists of 4 parts.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. Thirdly, if you are still here, I will talk a little bit about the movie you just saw. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. The Eiffel Tower and Trafalgar Square and Rome&#8217;s ancient buildings and maybe the canals of Amsterdam. They are still there. And they still look very much the same as they did a hundred years ago.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world, a world very few visitors see – and one that does not appear in your tourist guidebook. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration. All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighbourhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It&#8217;s the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighbourhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighbourhood by neighbourhood, city by city. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><a name="11d4a0c29d3b892a_11d46a1e9c228b73_11cb70"></a><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighbourhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities. In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims. Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear &#8216;whore, whore&#8217;. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin. In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can in many cases no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity. In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighbourhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan. Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favour of a worldwide caliphate. A Dutch study reported that half of Dutch Muslims admit they &#8216;understand&#8217; the 9/11 attacks.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Muslims demand what they call &#8216;respect&#8217;. And this is how we give them respect. Our elites are willing to give in. To give up. In my own country we have gone from calls by one cabinet member to turn Muslim holidays into official state holidays, to statements by another cabinet member, that Islam is part of Dutch culture, to an affirmation by the Christian-Democratic attorney general that he is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behaviour, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. Some prefer to see these as isolated incidents, but I call it a Muslim intifada. I call the perpetrators &#8216;settlers&#8217;. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies, they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighbourhoods, their cities, their countries. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Politicians shy away from taking a stand against this creeping sharia. They believe in the equality of all cultures. Moreover, on a mundane level, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Our many problems with Islam cannot be explained by poverty, repression or the European colonial past, as the Left claims. Nor does it have anything to do with Palestinians or American troops in Iraq. The problem is Islam itself. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Allow me to give you a brief Islam 101. The first thing you need to know about Islam is the importance of the book of the Quran. The Quran is Allah&#8217;s personal word, revealed by an angel to Mohammed, the prophet. This is where the trouble starts.. Every word in the Quran is Allah&#8217;s word and therefore not open to discussion or interpretation. It is valid for every Muslim and for all times. Therefore, there is no such a thing as moderate Islam. Sure, there are a lot of moderate Muslims. But a moderate Islam is non-existent.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">The Quran calls for hatred, violence, submission, murder, and terrorism. The Quran calls for Muslims to kill non-Muslims, to terrorize non-Muslims and to fulfil their duty to wage war: violent jihad. Jihad is a duty for every Muslim; Islam is to rule the world – by the sword. The Quran is clearly anti-Semitic, describing Jews as monkeys and pigs.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behaviour is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. He advised on matters of slavery, but never advised to liberate slaves. Islam has no other morality than the advancement of Islam. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad. There is no gray area or other side.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Quran as Allah&#8217;s own word and Mohammed as the perfect man are the two most important facets of Islam. Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means &#8216;submission&#8217;. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">This is what you need to know about Islam, in order to understand what is going on in Europe. For millions of Muslims the Quran and the life of Mohammed are not 14 centuries old, but are an everyday reality, an ideal, that guide every aspect of their lives. Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam &#8216;the most retrograde force in the world&#8217;, and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Which brings me to my movie, Fitna.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">I am a lawmaker, and not a movie maker. But I felt I had the moral duty to educate about Islam. The duty to make clear that the Quran stands at the heart of what some people call terrorism but is in reality jihad. I wanted to show that the problems of Islam are at the core of Islam, and do not belong to its fringes. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Now, from the day the plan for my movie was made public, it caused quite a stir, in the Netherlands and throughout Europe. First, there was a political storm, with government leaders, across the continent in sheer panic. The Netherlands was put under a heightened terror alert, because of possible attacks or a revolt by our Muslim population. The Dutch branch of the Islamic organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir declared that the Netherlands was due for an attack. Internationally, there was a series of incidents. The Taliban threatened to organize additional attacks against Dutch troops in Afghanistan, and a website linked to Al Qaeda published the message that I ought to be killed, while various muftis in the Middle East stated that I would be responsible for all the bloodshed after the screening of the movie. In Afghanistan and Pakistan the Dutch flag was burned on several occasions. Dolls representing me were also burned. The Indonesian President announced that I will never be admitted into Indonesia again, while the UN Secretary General and the European Union issued cowardly statements in the same vein as those made by the Dutch Government. I could go on and on. It was an absolute disgrace, a sell-out. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">A plethora of legal troubles also followed, and have not ended yet. Currently the state of Jordan is litigating against me. Only last week there were renewed security agency reports about a heightened terror alert for the Netherlands because of Fitna. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Now, I would like to say a few things about Israel. Because, very soon, we will get together in its capitol. The best way for a politician in Europe to loose votes is to say something positive about Israel. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I, however, will continue to speak up for Israel. I see defending Israel as a matter of principle. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Samuel Huntington writes it so aptly: &#8216;Islam has bloody borders&#8217;. Israel is located precisely on that border. This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam&#8217;s territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. Therefore, it is not that the West has a stake in Israel. It is Israel.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">It is very difficult to be an optimist in the face of the growing Islamization of Europe. All the tides are against us. On all fronts we are losing. Demographically the momentum is with Islam. Muslim immigration is even a source of pride within ruling liberal parties. Academia, the arts, the media, trade unions, the churches, the business world, the entire political establishment have all converted to the suicidal theory of multiculturalism. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a &#8216;right-wing extremists&#8217; or &#8216;racists&#8217;. The entire establishment has sided with our enemy. Leftists, liberals and Christian-Democrats are now all in bed with Islam. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">This is the most painful thing to see: the betrayal by our elites. At this moment in Europe&#8217;s history, our elites are supposed to lead us. To stand up for centuries of civilization. To defend our heritage. To honour our eternal Judeo-Christian values that made Europe what it is today. But there are very few signs of hope to be seen at the governmental level. Sarkozy, Merkel, Brown, Berlusconi; in private, they probably know how grave the situation is. But when the little red light goes on, they stare into the camera and tell us that Islam is a religion of peace, and we should all try to get along nicely and sing Kumbaya. They willingly participate in, what President Reagan so aptly called: &#8216;the betrayal of our past, the squandering of our freedom.&#8217;</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">If there is hope in Europe, it comes from the people, not from the elites. Change can only come from a grass-roots level. It has to come from the citizens themselves. Yet these patriots will have to take on the entire political, legal and media establishment.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Over the past years there have been some small, but encouraging, signs of a rebirth of the original European spirit. Maybe the elites turn their backs on freedom, the public does not. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat to our national identity. I don&#8217;t think the public opinion in Holland is very different from other European countries. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">Patriotic parties that oppose jihad are growing, against all odds. My own party debuted two years ago, with five percent of the vote. Now it stands at ten percent in the polls. The same is true of all smililary-minded parties in Europe. They are fighting the liberal establishment, and are gaining footholds on the political arena, one voter at the time. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Now, for the first time, these patriotic parties will come together and exchange experiences. It may be the start of something big. Something that might change the map of Europe for decades to come. It might also be Europe&#8217;s last chance.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">This December a conference will take place in Jerusalem. Thanks to Professor Aryeh Eldad, a member of Knesset, we will be able to watch Fitna in the Knesset building and discuss the jihad. We are organizing this event in Israel to emphasize the fact that we are all in the same boat together, and that Israel is part of our common heritage. Those attending will be a select audience. No racist organizations will be allowed. And we will only admit parties that are solidly democratic.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">This conference will be the start of an Alliance of European patriots. This Alliance will serve as the backbone for all organizations and political parties that oppose jihad and Islamization. For this Alliance I seek your support.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">This endeavor may be crucial to America and to the West. America may hold fast to the dream that, thanks to its location, it is safe from jihad and sharia. But seven years ago to the day, there was still smoke rising from ground zero, following the attacks that forever shattered that dream. Yet there is a danger even greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America &#8211; as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe&#8217;s children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;"><span style="font-size:small;">This is not the first time our civilization is under threat. We have seen dangers before. We have been betrayed by our elites before. They have sided with our enemies before.. And yet, then, freedom prevailed. </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">These are not times in which to take lessons from appeasement, capitulation, giving away, giving up or giving in. These are not times in which to draw lessons from Mr. Chamberlain. These are times calling us to draw lessons from Mr. Churchill and the words he spoke in 1942:</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background:white;line-height:160%;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="color:#333333;font-family:&quot;">&#8216;Never give in, never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy&#8217;.</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></span></p>

<p>A speech given months ago (link sent earlier) shows Obama saying that he will immediately create a national ‘security force’ with as much strength and power as the military.</p>
<p>Here is the link to the speech mentioned just over 1/2 way through &#8211; about a National Security Force<br />
Here is the full speech on July 2, 2008 in Colorado Springs, Colorado  <br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df2p6867_pw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df2p6867_pw</a></p>
<p><strong>And that would be for what? WHY do you need a costly armed security force in this country when we have city police, county sheriffs, FBI, fire department and state police? WHY? I leave you to your own conclusions.<br />
</strong><br />
<em>BUT may I bring up another instance when a similar force was called for, and what happened then? Harkin back to your personal knowledge of, or from the history books (or just Google) the time when the infamous Brown Shirts and Black Shirts were created. And what happened then?<br />
</em><br />
The potential for comparison is frankly frightening!</p>
<p>PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TODAY &#8211; ALL AMERICANS MUST MUST MUST KNOW WHO THIS MAN IS AND WHERE HE WILL TAKE US. SEND EMAILS NOW PLEASE !!!!!</p>

<div class="entryContent">Rezko financier linked with late Iraqi tyrant<br />
Posted: October 28, 2008<br />
9:22 pm Eastern</p>
<p>© 2008 WorldNetDaily</p>
<p>Former Baathist official Nadhmi Auchi with cousin Saddam Hussein Just 23 days before a crooked fundraiser helped Sen. Barack Obama buy his Chicago mansion, a billionaire bagman for Saddam Hussein wired millions into the crook&#8217;s account.</p>
<p>&#8220;Barack Obama appears to have personally benefited from funds originating in Saddam Hussein&#8217;s regime,&#8221; said Mideast expert Daniel Pipes.</p>
<p>Former Iraqi official Nadhmi Auchi bankrolled his longtime friend and business partner, Syrian immigrant and Chicago slumlord Tony Rezko, who in turn bankrolled Obama&#8217;s political career before being convicted this year of fraud.</p>
<p>That much is known. What&#8217;s not known is whether any Auchi funds aided Obama&#8217;s 2005 purchase of a $1.65 million mock-Georgian mansion in the leafy Kenwood district of Chicago. On the same day, Rezko purchased an adjacent lot from the same seller.</p>
<p>In addition, Rezko personally toured the house with Obama before their same-day purchase of the adjoining parcels. He also advised Obama on negotiating his end of the deal.</p>
<p>(Story continues below)</p>
<p>Obama ended up buying his side of the property for $300,000 below the asking price, while Rezko, through his wife, paid full price, $625,000, for the adjacent vacant lot.</p>
<p>Just three weeks earlier, Rezko – who at the time was under indictment and virtually bankrupt – received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Auchi, his &#8220;close friend&#8221; and partner, who smuggled weapons to Saddam&#8217;s regime.</p>
<p><strong>Illinois State Senate President Emil Jones Jr. and his protege Barack Obama<br />
</strong>A year before their real estate deal, Obama, fresh off his U.S. Senate win, attended a dinner that Rezko hosted honoring Auchi at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Chicago. There, he met with Rezko, as well as his career mentor, Emil Jones, president of the Illinois senate, where Obama had previously served. Jones also is close to Auchi.</p>
<p>While Obama acknowledges attending the 2004 event, he claims having no memory of meeting Auchi there.</p>
<p>&#8220;I just don&#8217;t recall,&#8221; he said, even though the dinner was held in Auchi&#8217;s honor and Rezko had invited Obama to meet him and other friends.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, Rezko that same year had held another reception for Auchi, this time at his mansion; and according to court testimony in Rezko&#8217;s trial, both Barack and Michelle Obama attended the reception and met Auchi.</p>
<p>Auchi at the time was under investigation by the U.S. government. The Pentagon had accused him of perpetrating fraud in Iraq, and he was subsequently barred from future entry into the U.S.</p>
<p>Auchi turned to Rezko to lobby several politicians in an unsuccessful bid to reinstate his visa.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not clear if Obama, a vocal Iraq war critic, was one of those politicians. But the senator did intervene on behalf of another shady Iraqi official at Rezko&#8217;s request.</p>
<p><strong>Emil Jones and Nadhmi Auchi</strong><br />
After Aiham Alsammarae was jailed in Iraq for fraud in 2006, Obama&#8217;s Senate office sought information from the State Department about his status and relayed it to his family living in Chicago.</p>
<p>Alsammarae, a dual Iraqi-U.S. citizen who donated the maximum $2,300 to Obama&#8217;s campaign, attended the same Four Seasons reception for Auchi attended by Obama.</p>
<p>A 2004 Pentagon report identified Auchi as an Iraqi billionaire and global arms dealer &#8220;who behind the facade of legitimate business, served as Saddam Hussein&#8217;s principle international financial manipulator and bag man.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report states that &#8220;significant and credible evidence has been developed that Nadhmi Auchi has engaged in unlawful activities,&#8221; such as bribing &#8220;foreign governments and individuals prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom to turn opinion against the American-led mission to remove Saddam Hussein.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama and top fundraiser Tony Rezko, a business partner and close friend of Auchi<br />
He also helped &#8220;arrange for significant theft from the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program to smuggle weapons and dual-use technology into Iraq.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since October 2002, Obama has publicly opposed Operation Iraqi Freedom, which ousted Saddam Hussein. Auchi was a cousin of the executed dictator.</p>
<p>As for Rezko, the Obama campaign says the presidential hopeful was unaware of his dirty dealings and has returned more than $200,000 in donations tied to him.</p>
<p>Obama has confessed misjudgment only in the subsequent purchase of a 10-foot strip of the adjacent S. Greenwood Avenue property from Rezko, not the original seemingly coordinated purchase of the parcels with Rezko on the same day, which political watchdog groups have called a &#8220;sweetheart deal.&#8221;</p>
<p>Plot of land Rezko bought on same day Obama bought $1.65 million Georgian mansion next door<br />
Obama described his subsequent $105,000 transaction a &#8220;boneheaded move,&#8221; only because Rezko was under indictment at the time for bribing elected officials and other influence-peddling charges.
