Some call it law

Scott Johnson

 

President Obama and his minions have taken to instructing us that Obamacare is the law of the land. But it’s a funny kind of law — a law for the Age of Obama. Like words in the mouth of Humpty Dumpty, Obamacare is a law that means just what Obama chooses it to mean — neither more nor less. A law that is equal to the will of the ruler. Peter Suderman usefully compiles expressions of the ruler’s will as to the law to date. Suderman properly omits a discussion of what I have called Obamacare’s adventures in administrative law, which is a different (if closely related) subject.

DIANNY RANTS: The Trouble with Inbreeding http://alltherightsnark.org/dianny-rants-the-trouble-with-inbreeding/

 

For a class of folk who think very highly of themselves, the Political Aristocracy is suffering the consequences of its own arrogance. Nobody is as smart as they. Nobody is as sophisticated. It would be the height of folly to permit their blood to be tainted by the hoi polloi.

 

Look at the history of the British throne. They kept their bloodlines pure. Cousins would marry cousins in a never-ending parade of inbreeding.

 

And pure they kept it.

 

Problem is, they also tended to become a bit, well, inbred.

 

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried this, but if you take a photocopy and photocopy it, then photocopy the photocopy, then photocopy the photocopy of the photocopy and on and on, eventually, what you are left with is a document so grainy and distorted it is no longer legible.

 

This is why most people who have to make copies of something like to keep a file of the “originals” so that they don’t end up with an unreadable Rorschach Test instead of a legible document.

 

The political class in Washington have become a sheltered, inbred aristocracy — so fearful of a loss of power that they try to keep things “in the family.” They endorse one another for reelection. They even encourage the children of their colleagues (photocopies) to run for office, and their children (photocopies of photocopies) and on and on. (Think Kennedy Clan)

 

They support those incumbents who face primary challenges from outsiders because for them, it is in bad taste to support a primary challenger over one of their own. No matter how poor a legislator the incumbent might be.

 

They shriek in outrage when some new guy gets elected into office — a guy like Ted Cruz or Jim Bridenstine. They flutter about like wet hens when new blood refuses to accept their place and actually stand up and stand out. Oh, how they bitch! Like John McCain howling about “wacko birds” who stole unearned, undeserved attention away from the old bulls. The nerve!

Scissors-32x32.png

The downside to this inbred Permanent Political Aristocracy is they have become flaccid. Inbreeding does that. Their desperate clutching for power has left them weak and unwilling to fight. What little strength remains they use to fight off those peasants who would dare to have the presumptuous arrogance to vie for a seat in office.

 

If you have been asking yourself, “Why don’t the Republicans fight?!”

 

This is your answer.

 

They do not have the strength.

 

They do not have the fortitude.

 

They are weak and small.

 

It’s what happens when the aristocracy insists on inbreeding.

 

They are no longer capable of great things.

In 2016, this needs to be shouted from rooftops:

 

Hillary Group Partnered With Company That Laundered $250 Billion For Iran And Violated Sanctions http://www.dickmorris.com/hillary-group-partnered-with-company-that-laundered-250-billion-for-iran-and-violated-sanctions/?utm_source=dmreports&utm_medium=dmreports&utm_campaign=dmreports

 

By Dick Morris And Eileen McGann on August 14, 2013

 

On July 29, 2009, at a news conference in New Delhi, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton proudly announced that “Vital Voices Global Partnership,” an NGO that she said she had “founded”, had partnered with Standard Chartered Bank to promote women’s causes throughout Asia.

 

Unfortunately, Standard Chartered, which also donated generously to the Clinton Foundation Global Initiative, was charged by federal and New York State prosecutors of laundering over $250 billion for Iran and “deliberately” helping Iran circumvent sanctions imposed to cripple its nuclear program. In August and December, 2012 — Standard Chartered paid a total $667 million in fines to settle the cases and admitted its criminal activity.

First, the New York State Department of Financial Services fined Standard Chartered $340 million and, several months later, the Department of Justice negotiated a fine of $327 million in December of last year. Jaspal Bindra, the CEO of Asia Standard Bank, serves on the board of Vital Voices.

According to the New York State Department of Financial Services the ten years of illegal activity by Standard Chartered “left the US financial system vulnerable to terrorists, weapons dealers, drug kingpins, and corrupt regimes and deprived law enforcement investigators of crucial information used to track all manner of criminal activity.”

And all the while, Standard Chartered was funding programs related to the Clintons. The ties among former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Global Initiative and Standard Chartered run long and deep:

The involvement of Vital Voices with Standard Chartered flies in the face of Hillary Clinton’s strong condemnation of Iran and her vigorous efforts to promote global sanctions to deter its nuclear weapon development. But the extensive involvement of the former Secretary’s NGO — with which she still maintains a close connection — with a company central to evading sanctions raises serious questions about possible conflicts of interest.

Report: Jailed Muslim Brotherhood Leader Al-Shater Has Information That Will Land Barack Obama in Jail

 

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/08/report-jailed-muslim-brotherhood-leader-al-shater-has-information-that-will-land-barack-obama-in-jail/

 

 

Obama’s Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and European Union envoy Bernardino Leon were scheduled to meet with the Muslim Brotherhood’s second in command Khairat el-Shatar on August 5, 2013. The Obama administration was set to offer the Muslim Brotherhood three positions in the Egyptian cabinet.

 

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Now this…
Saed al-Shater, the son of Khairat el-Shatar, told the Anatolia News Agency in Turkey that his father has evidence that will land Barack Obama in prison.

World Net Daily reported:

 

The son of a jailed Muslim Brotherhood leader in Egypt is claiming his father has evidence that will land President Obama in prison.

The claim came as the Obama administration, with the assistance of Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and the open involvement of the No. 2 man at the U.S. State Department, made a concerted effort to see Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt released.

Scissors-32x32.png

Arabic-speaking former PLO member Walid Shoebat has translated the report by the Turkish News Agency Anatolia as follows:

 

In an interview with the Anatolia News Agency, Saad Al-Shater, the son of a Muslim Brotherhood leader, the detained Khairat Al-Shater, said that his father had in his hand evidence that will land the head of United States of America, President Obama, in prison. He stressed that the senior U.S. delegation currently visiting Egypt, knows full well that the fate, future, interests and reputation of their country is in the hands of his father, and they know that he owns the information, documents and recordings that incriminate and would condemn their country. Such documents, he says, were placed in the hands of people who were entrusted inside and outside Egypt, and that the release of his father is the only way for them to prevent a great catastrophe. He stated that a warning was sent threatening to show how the U.S. administration was directly connected. The evidence was sent through intermediaries which caused them to change their attitude and corrected their position, and that they have taken serious steps to prove good faith. Saad also said that his father’s safety is more important to the Americans than is the safety of Mohamed Morsi.

 

Writing in his blog, Shoebat noted that six different Arabic sources confirmed the interview with Saad Al-Shater and the report of Al-Shater’s claims.

..........and from Walid Shoebat....more evidence:

 

Does Jailed Brotherhood leader have goods on Obama? http://shoebat.com/2013/08/13/does-jailed-brotherhood-leader-have-goods-on-obama/

 

 


 

The Obama administration’s call for the release of Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Egypt is inexplicable. The trip to Egypt by Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), during which they called for the same thing is even more inexplicable, especially since both men are demanding answers in Benghazi. Yes, we know Obama’s leanings but why the rush to release these prisoners and not shine a spotlight on them? If the details of an interview with the son of one of those imprisoned leaders is any indication, we may be getting closer to answering that question.

Scissors-32x32.png

"In an interview with the Anatolia News Agency, Saad Al-Shater, the son of a Muslim Brotherhood leader, the detained Khairat Al-Shater, said that his father had in his hand evidence that will land the head of United States of America, president Obama, in prison. He stressed that the senior U.S. delegation currently visiting Egypt, knows full well that the fate, future, interests and reputation of their country is in the hands of his father, and they know that he owns the information, documents and recordings that incriminate and would condemn their country. Such documents, he says, were placed in the hands of people who were entrusted inside and outside Egypt, and that the release of his father is the only way for them to prevent a great catastrophe. He stated that a warning was sent threatening to show how the U.S. administration was directly connected. The evidence was sent through intermediaries which caused them to change their attitude and corrected their position and that they have taken serious steps to prove good faith."

Scissors-32x32.png

That this interview happened and the younger Al-Shater made these claims is backed up by at least six Arabic sources.

 

When Saad’s comments are viewed in the context of the bizarre behavior of U.S. officials, it provides the best explanation to date for extremely irrational and inexplicable behavior of those officials.

 

 

First, the interview with Saad was dated August 7, 2013. The reference made to “senior U.S. delegation currently visiting Egypt” is presumably a reference to McCain, Graham, and Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns. During that trip, McCain and Graham both called for the release of Muslim Brotherhood leaders with McCain making news by calling Mursi’s ouster a “coup”. Graham suggested that Egypt was “looking into the abyss” and then suggested releasing Brotherhood leaders was the path away from it (huh?). In an interview with CNN, McCain named Al-Shater specifically when asked about individuals that could negotiate a future Egyptian government.

Scissors-32x32.png

Second, how about Saad’s claim that his father’s safety is more important to the Americans than is the safety of Mursi? This is where we’d like to introduce Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns. While Graham and McCain were busy sucking up to the Brotherhood in Egypt, Burns visited one of its leaders in prison.

 

He didn’t visit Mursi; Burns visited Al-Shater. Reports put that visit at about 90 minutes, despite attempts by both parties to play the visit down. As we reported in EXHIBIT A-1 of Addendum A, Al-Shater is implicated in weapons trafficking through the Sinai and into Gaza as well as negotiating prisoner releases in exchange for terrorists. He has also been jailed multiple times.

 

Again, why would the United States’ #2 diplomat traipse over to Egypt to talk with a jailed Muslim Brotherhood leader? And why Al-Shater?

Black American citizens file “Articles of Impeachment” against Obama http://watchdogwire.com/florida/2013/08/13/black-american-citizens-file-articles-of-impeachment-against-obama/

 

The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) http://www.nbra.info/ based in Sarasota, FL, headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama with the following language:

 

We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.

 

On July 4, 1776, the founders of our nation declared their independence from governmental tyranny and reaffirmed their faith in independence with the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791. Asserting their right to break free from the tyranny of a nation that denied them the civil liberties that are our birthright, the founders declared:

 

“When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

 

THE IMPEACHMENT POWER

 

Article II, Section IV of the United States Constitution provides: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

Assumption of Mary, Where Science and Theology are Met
August 15, 2013 By Elizabeth Scalia Leave a Comment

Scissors-32x32.png

I’ve never understood why people who have no problem with Elijah and Enoch being assumed into paradise have a problem with Mary — the greatest, and most blessed of all created creatures — being assumed into heaven. “It’s not in scripture” doesn’t cut it, (as Msgr. Charles Pope demonstrates here) because what did the early Christians reference before the bible as we know it finally came into being in the fifth century? Teachings and traditions, as Saint Paul writes to the Thessalonians, “…stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.” (2 Thessalonians 2:15)
