Waives initial hearing on charges of failing to obey chain of command
An Army officer who invited his own court-martial to resolve for the nation questions about Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president has waived a preliminary hearing in his case.

Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin, who refused orders from a chain of command led by Obama, also today (June 11th) released a new video explaining why documentation needs to be released by Obama that could confirm that he qualifies to be president under the Constitution’s demand that the office by held only by a “natural born citizen.”

Lakin was scheduled for an Article 32 military hearing tomorrow (June 12th), the equivalent of a civilian preliminary hearing in a court case. But Daniel J. Driscoll, an Army hearing officer, had banned Lakin from bringing in evidence about Obama’s birth as well as testimony from Hawaii officials who may have information on the subject.

“In my view our constitutional jurisprudence allows Congress alone, and not a military judicial body, to put the president’s credentials on trial,” Driscoll wrote in a memorandum determining what evidence the defense for Lakin would have been allowed.

But in a new video, Lakin said the issue is important:

Enjoy the Switzerland of Central Asia

Can you find Kyrgyzstan on a map? Hint - it's in green, just northeast of Afghanistan.

I know many of you are psyched about the big Tea Party Rallies today, and I hope you have a great time and really show everyone the spirit of taking back your country.  I also hope you don’t run into any phony Tea Pary activists.  Hey, maybe you could carry a fold-up sign that says, “Phony Tea Party Activist” with a big arrow pointing to one side.  Than way, when some faker holds up a big sign for the camera with all sorts of swastikas and hate speech all over it to prank all the Tea Partiers, you could sneak up behind him and hold up your sign for the camera, pranking him.  It’d serve him right.

But if she gets there first, she gets to use her whip on him all the way back to the starting line.

But hey, all this organizing for freedom and liberty is hard work.  If it gets you down, you need a break.  You need to go to some nice, pleasant place to relax, unwind, and just get away from it all.

I recommend beautiful, sunny Kyrgyzstan.

Well, the other day I was driving by the post office in Tomball. I noticed a sign on the front door of McCaul’s CD 10 Tomball Office door…

I wonder what that is about?? Hmmmmm ….

[From TimesWatch.org]

Long-time welfare-beat reporter Jason DeParle took yet another victory lap in his Thursday story on how food stamps are losing their stigma in a piece co-written with Robert Gebeloff: “Once Stigmatized, Food Stamps Find Acceptance.”

These same two reporters wrote a national version of the same story with virtually the same headline less than three months ago, which appeared on the front page November 29, 2009: “Food Stamp Use Soars Across U.S., and Stigma Fades.” Both stories are apart of the paper’s occasional series “The Safety Net.”

The triumphal headline and DeParle’s accompanying attitude of barely concealed vindication is no surprise, given his long-time opposition to welfare reform, noted most bluntly in a sour and alarmist piece he penned as a Times reporter, opposing the passage of Clinton-era welfare reform in the July 28, 1996 Times Week in Review: “Get a Job — The New Contract With America’s Poor.” DeParle warned in that 1996 piece:

The risk is that it may also end poverty as we know it. By making it even worse….But the weight of the evidence suggests that most either cannot or will not lift themselves from poverty in an economy where, for more than two decades, the bottom has been dropping out for low-skilled workers. In a nation that already has the highest child poverty rates in the industrialized world the poor may indeed get poorer. And more numerous and desperate as well…If he signs the measure as it is, President Clinton will appear to have fulfilled his famous pledge about ending welfare. In truth, he will have abandoned the vision that animated the slogan. Having sought office with the aim of a redefined social contract — health care for every American — he will be seeking re-election with a bill that begrudges poor infants their Pampers….No doubt the harsh reality of an empty stomach will cause some people to do better. Some may indeed get jobs and marry, as [Fla. Rep. Clay] Shaw predicts. Others may turn to prostitution or the drug trade. Or cling to abusive boyfriends. Or have more abortions. Or abandon their children. Or camp out on the streets and beg.

Ooops!! Looks like someone forgot to scrub something!!  “Home” goes to a home page for a Kenyan newspaper archive for 2004. Updating the format for the web address to “http://www.eastandard.net/” takes you to the current day’s edition of this newspaper.

It’s relatively easy to fake an old internet news article but not an entirely new set of current-dated articles.  Especially since most of Eastern and Southern Africa was taken over by British, Danish and Norwegians who like to spell our “z” words with an “s”, for example, ‘organisation’ versus ‘organization.’

An acquaintance of mine sent it to a morning radio show my acquaintance listens to and they talked about it.  They said that if the powers that be were ever to respond, it would be only to say that “well, these african papers are not known for their accuracy and fact checking.”  Yeah, right.  Unlike CNN, who only fact checks SNL when they FINALLY make a lame attempt at satirizing Obama…

It just shows that “they” can’t even do something underhanded like try to scrub the internet efficiently. Lets’ put THEM in charge of every aspect of our lives, huh?

The award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.

The pretext for the prize was Mr Obama’s decision to “strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples”. Many people will point out that, while the President has indeed promised to “reset” relations with Russia and offer a fresh start to relations with the Muslim world, there is little so far to show for his fine words.

East-West relations are little better than they were six months ago, and any change is probably due largely to the global economic downturn; and America’s vaunted determination to re-engage with the Muslim world has failed to make any concrete progress towards ending the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Dinner at the White House…. a parable

Once upon a time, I was invited to the White House for a private dinner with the President. I am a respected businessman, with a factory that produces memory chips for computers and portable electronics. There was some talk that my industry was being scrutinized by the administration, but I paid it no mind. I live in a free country. There’s nothing that the government can do to me if I’ve broken no laws. My wealth was earned honestly, and an invitation to dinner with an American President is an honor.

I checked my coat, was greeted by the Chief of Staff, and joined the President in a yellow dining room. We sat across from each other at a table draped in white linen. The Great Seal was embossed on the china. Uniformed staff served our dinner.

The meal was served, and I was startled when my waiter suddenly reached out, plucked a dinner roll off my plate, and began nibbling it as he walked back to the kitchen.

Summary of this week’s report:

Obama’s speech to America’s school children was far less innocuous than it appeared. It was an attempt to capture the hearts and minds of our kids, and to have them ask themselves how they “can help the President”. Conservatives were right to oppose it. We need to speak out against Obama’s plans to indoctrinate vulnerable young minds.

The full report:

On September 8th, Barack Obama delivered a speech to 1500 students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, which was also broadcast to almost every public school in the nation (as well as many private schools). Obama’s plan was to have every student in American schools watch the speech. He and his liberal apologists in the media billed it as simply a motivational speech along the lines of “work hard, stay in school, and you can achieve your dreams.” That certainly sounds good; who could possibly be against something like that? (Even many Christian schools fell for this line.)

I thoroughly disagree with what you say, but I shall defend to the death your right to say it.

–Voltaire

I want a hundred ideas to germinate in my country, and a hundred buds to sprout.

–Mao Tse-Tung

Freedom of speech, if it is to be real, must be extended to all and not be the prerogative or special gift of anyone. That is the crux of the problem.  It is not a question of defending the ideas maintained by the newspaper The Daily Fleet. It is a question of defending The Daily Fleet’s right to express its ideas, and the right of thousands of American citizens to read what they think is worth reading.  Hard battles have been fought in America on behalf of that freedom of expression and freedom of choice.  And it has been said that if one began by persecuting a newspaper for maintaining an idea, he would end up persecuting all ideas.  And it has been said that there was a desire for a regime in which there would be room for the newspaper Today, of the Communists, and The Daily Fleet, of the conservative leanings.  Despite that, The Daily Fleet has disappeared as a vehicle of thought. And the newspaper Today remains freer and more firmly established than ever.  Evidently the regime has lost its determination to maintain balance.
