The Hero Navy Seal Smells Fishy To Me

I'm re-blogging this from the Daily Mail. Something doesn't seem right about this guy. I'm not sure what or why but it all seems a little too "cute" and convenient. He had to of been given permission from very high up to talk about this mission. I'm not buying it.

EXCLUSIVE: SEAL Rob O'Neill under fire from his home state Congressman for breaching 'national security' - and faces new claims he is lying by saying he killed Osama bin Laden

• MailOnline revealed that O'Neill is 'The Shooter' and the man who will be interviewed next week publicly discussing the death of bin Laden 
• His account says that he rushed into bin Laden's room and shot him in the head, killing him dead  
• But other SEALs today said his version is untrue and that he is not the man who killed 9/11's evil mastermind
• His hometown Congressman is ex-SEAL who told MailOnline special forces missions must 'remain secret' in rebuke to O'Neill 
• SEAL commanders have written angry letter freezing him out of Special Forces circles for going public 
• Donated his SEAL uniform to 9/11 museum where it is now on display

Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill today faced fresh criticism and accusations of lying from his former comrades over his decision to publicly call himself the man who killed Osama bin Laden.

The newly elected Congressman from Montana - himself a former member of SEAL Team 6 – hit out at the ex-serviceman, telling MailOnline in an exclusive interview no details of special operations actions should ever be revealed.

‘Sensitive operations should remain secret,’ said Ryan Zinke, who is due to take his place in the House of Representatives in Washington in January.

‘It should be known as an operation conducted by US Special Forces and never disclosed what was involved,’ added Zinke, a Republican who won Montana’s sole seat in the House by 15 percentage points on Tuesday. 

It is not known if the two men know each other directly, but their service as SEALs overlapped.

O’Neill, 38, who grew up in Butte, Montana, now lives in Virginia. He is due to appear in a two-part documentary on Fox News next week, detailing his part in the killing of bin Laden.

MailOnline exclusive disclosed his identity this week ahead of the broadcast.

O’Neill has already described the night of May 2, 2011 in an interview with Sharon Stone’s ex-husband Phil Bronstein that appeared in Esquire magazine in February 2013. But his name was not revealed at that time and he was referred to only as ‘the Shooter.’

 The specifics of operations are a matter of national security and should remain that way

Now his identity has become public, military leaders and fellow SEALs are lining up to discredit his version of events.

A former SEAL Team 6 commander told the New York Times O’Neill only fired ‘insurance shots’ into bin Laden’s twitching body after the terror leader had already been mortally shot by an unidentified SEAL who is still in the service. 

That hero is described as the ’point man’ who led the SEALs up the stairs in bin Laden’s compound to the bedroom where he was hiding.

Another Team 6 member also disputed O’Neill’s version, saying the 'point man' had wounded bin Laden with a shot to the side, and then grabbed the women in the room for fear they were wearing explosives. O’Neill, he said, had then finished Osama off.

And Reuters quoted an unidentified source close to a SEAL Team 6 member as saying the fatal shot was fired by one of two other men who entered the room before O'Neill. 

But O’Neill told Bronstein last year: ‘I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! same place. That time I used my EOTech red-dot holo sight. He was dead. Not moving. His tongue was out. I watched him take his last breaths, just a reflex breath.’

One SEAL source told MailOnline: 'The real shooter would never discuss it publicly.

'Members of SEAL Team Six haven’t discussed it publicly so there’s a reasonable chance he’s not being truthful.

'There is no way O’Neill could really prove it was he who took the fatal shot on Osama bin Laden unless his comrades all attested to it.

'But again, the code of secrecy with these special operators would preclude that.'

A second source told MailOnline that other SEALs are expected to speak out anonymously against O'Neill.

When another SEAL, Matt Bissonette, went public, the then-head of U.S. Special Operations personally asked members of SEAL Team Six whether his account was accurate.

Bissonette has since been forced to give up $4.5 million he made from his book ‘No Easy Day’ to the federal government. He is now suing his lawyer Kevin Podlaski for $8 million for giving him bad advice, by allegedly saying he did not need to submit the book to the Department of Defense for vetting.

Although it is not known if a similar operation is planned against O’Neill, a SEAL Team Six 'operator' spoke to CNN in March 2013 to contradict the version of events O'Neill had then given anonymously to Esquire magazine.

And on October 31 the SEALs’ top commander Rear Adm. Brian Losey and the senior enlisted member Michael Magarachi wrote to present and former SEALs warning them of speaking out on details of top-secret missions.

IN HIS OWN WORDS... ROB O'NEILL TELLS HOW HE KILLED BIN LADEN 

'I rolled past him into the room, just inside the doorway

'There was bin Laden, standing there. He had his hands on a woman’s shoulders pushing her ahead, not exactly toward me but by me, in the direction of the hallway commotion. It was his youngest wife, Amal.'

O'Neill said that bin Laden looked confused and 'taller' than he had expected. 

The SEAL feared the woman was wearing a suicide vest. 

The terror leader was standing up, and O'Neill said he saw a gun, the AK-47 which bin Laden was known to have, on a shelf.

'I need to havea head shot so he won't have a chance to clack himself off,' he said,

'In that second, I shot him, two times in the forehead. Bap! Bap! The second time as he's going down. He crumpled onto the floor in front of his bed and I hit him again, Bap! same place.'

The three shots killed bin Laden and O'Neill could see his 'brains' through the wound.

Bin Laden's wife was screaming and O'Neill realised that a child was present too - bin Laden's youngest son.

The point man - the still nameless SEAL  - then entered the room and zip-tied the two women he had already grabbed.

The entire episode was over in 15 seconds. 

As told to Phil Bronstein in Esquire magazine 

‘We will actively seek judicial consequences for members who wilfully violate the law, and place our Teammates, our Families, and potential future operations at risk,’ the two men wrote.

O'Neill told the Washington Post that he had decided to reveal his identity after addressing relatives of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks at the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New York before it was officially opened.

He decided to tell the relatives about his actions. 'The families told me it helped bring them some closure,' he told the Post.

O’Neill donated his SEAL uniform to the museum's collection after the meeting, which was arranged by Carolyn Maloney, a Democratic member of the House of Representatives for New York. 

Maloney described O’Neill as ‘Maloney praised O’Neill as ‘a great American hero and a fine, articulate gentleman who has been very careful to always praise his team for the success of this mission.’

'He insisted on doing this anonymously to honor his unit, however the incredible interest in this story made this difficult,' she told the Post.

'I represent thousands of individuals whose lives were forever scarred by the tragedy of September 11, and Mr. O’Neill’s private words to the families who lost loved ones brought a remarkable comfort to them,’ Maloney added.

O’Neill himself spoke in Maryville, Tennessee, on Thursday night at Blount County’s Best of Blount Awards. ‘I've been busy preparing this speech today. I've had my phone and computer off. Anything interesting on the Internet?’ he joked at the start of his speech.

He did not mention Osama bin Laden or the raid on his compound in his speech, but he talked about how difficult it was leaving his family, knowing there was a good chance he would never see them again. He said he had to leave his daughter’s birthday party to go on the mission to rescue American seamen who had been kidnapped off Somalia.

‘There's a huge difference between kissing your kid goodnight and kissing your kid goodbye. My kid is 10 years old and in her lifetime I've kissed her goodbye 11 different times,’ he said according to WBIR-TV in Knoxville. 

But he has been heavily criticized for speaking out.

O'Neill grew up in Butte, Montana, a former copper mining boomtown that has now fallen on hard times.

O'Neill has said the basic reason he became a SEAL was a teenage romance gone wrong. At 19 he went to a Navy recruiter's office in an attempt to get over his lost love.

But his father gave a different story in his exclusive interview with MailOnline. 'We were going hunting and a friend asked us to take a guy who was a Navy SEAL with us,' said Tom O'Neill, 65. 'We were expecting someone who was 6 ft. 8 in. who could lift a house with his bare hands, but he was this normal guy. And Rob said if this guy could be a SEAL, then so could he.' 

In total he was deployed on more than a dozen tours of duty in active combat, in four different warzones, including Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the course of those tours he undertook more than 400 separate combat missions. 

He was decorated 52 times, leaving as senior chief petty officer. His decorations include two Silver Stars, four Bronze Stars with Valor, a Joint Service Commendation Medal with Valor, three Presidential Unit citations, and two Navy/Marine Corps Commendations with Valor. 

Silver Stars, the military's third highest honor, are awarded for extraordinary gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States. 

Bronze Stars with Valor are awarded for merit, signifying a heroic act and direct participation in combat operations. 

It is the fourth-highest combat award of the U.S. Armed Forces and the ninth highest military award overall. 

Joint Service Commendation Medals are given for senior service on a joint military staff and is the most senior of the commendation medals.

Details of three of his missions have been turned into Hollywood action hits.  

He was the lead jumper on the Maersk Alabama, the ship taken over by Somali pirates, whose rescue turned into the Oscar-winning movie Captain Phillips.

He helped save SEAL Marcus Luttrell, the one man who lived to tell of a failed mission to capture a Taliban leader in Afghanistan. That made it to the big screen as 'Lone Survivor.'

And then there was 'Zero Dark Thirty,' the Oscar-nominated story of bin Laden's killing.

But deciding to speak publicly may surprise some. In the Esquire interview his wife spoke about her concerns over a retaliatory attack.

'Personally I feel more threatened by a potential retaliatory terror attack on our community than I did eight years ago,' his wife said in 2013. 

At the time the couple were estranged. Their marital status is now unclear.

'We're actually looking into changing my name,' his wife.

'Changing the kids' names, taking my husband's name off the house, paying off our cars. Essentially deleting him from our lives, but for safety reasons. We still love each other.'

Obama on Gruber: I Just Heard About This Today

 

Sunday on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends," network White House correspondent Ed Henry asked President President Obama about Jonathan Gruber and the president claimed he had just heard about the ObamaCare architect before walking out on stage in Australia.

President Obama said, "I just heard about this. I get well briefed before I come out here. The fact that some adviser who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that I've completely disagreed with in terms of the voters, is no reflection on the actual process that was run. We had a year-long debate, Ed, I mean, go back and look at your stories. The one thing we can't say is that we did not have a lengthy debate about health care in the United States of America. or that it was not adequately covered. I think it is fair to say that there was not a provision in the health care laws that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent."

Sixth Gruber Video Reveals Lies Told to Sell Obamacare's 'Mislabeled' Tax Breaks

 

A sixth video of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber surfaced, where he explains how Democrats lied to sell Obamacare to the "stupid voters," this time noting how taxes were purposefully "mislabeled" to get the bill passed.

The newest video shows Gruber talking about the lies shoring up Obamacare and features his explanation of how taxes for employer-based healthcare insurance policies were purposefully mislabeled. He also noted that the writers of the bill took pains to hide from voters whom these taxes would hit.

Gruber was addressing the "Cadillac tax," sold as a tax only on "the rich" because it was a tax on expensive insurance plans that only eight percent of Americans currently have. The tax on these expensive plans was to be at 40 percent -- this with the expectation that such high-dollar plans might eventually be canceled.

Gruber said that the trick to selling the "Cadillac tax" was to claim it was a tax on insurance policies and not "people."

"[T]he only way we could get rid of it was first by mislabeling it, calling it a tax on insurance plans rather than a tax on people when we all know it's a tax on people who hold those insurance plans," Gruber says on the video.

But the next sneaky part of the Obamacare plan is that the "Cadillac tax" is tied to the slow-growing Consumer Price Index -- not the rate of the more quickly growing medical inflation rate.

This means that as time goes on, more employer insurance plans would suddenly be considered a "Cadillac" plan and more and more people would find themselves whacked with the 40 percent tax.

"What that means is the tax that starts out hitting only eight percent of the insurance plans essentially amounts over the next 20 years essentially getting rid of the exclusion for employer sponsored plans," the President's Obamacare expert said.

The long-term purpose of this tax was to make as many employer-based healthcare plans as possible too expensive to maintain, thereby getting them canceled and leaving only the government offering healthcare to the public. It was a long-term plan to usher in a single payer, government-sponsored healthcare system -- something Democrats all denied as Obamacare was being sold to the public.

All this was hidden from voters as Obamacre was being crafted.

Gruber, who received hundreds of thousands of tax dollars for his work on Obamacare and millions from consulting with states on the law, has drawn criticism for exposing Obama's "master strategy" to "confuse" people in order to get Obamacare passed into law.

The revelations of this mountain of lies has caused Democrats to run from his comments and sent the White House scrambling to distance itself from his comments.

Gruber is also now a target for Republicans who are planning to call him to testify before Congress.

'Jihadi John' Reported to Have Been Injured in Airstrike

 

Jihadi John, the London-born ISIS terrorist who has brutally beheaded four American and British hostages over the last few months, is understood to have been injured by a coalition airstrike. The strike took place last week, and was the same raid that injured ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the Mail on Sunday has reported.

The American led airstrike targeted a high-level meeting of tribal leaders, who were pledging their allegiance to Al-Baghdadi in a makeshift underground bunker, under a house in the border town of Al Qaim, in Anbar Province, Western Iraq. Ten other attendees were killed by the bombing raid and around 40 injured.

Reports quickly emerged that the injured, including Al-Baghdadi, had been rushed to a nearby hospital, and that appeals for blood donations were broadcast over loudspeakers across the town. Now evidence is emerging that Jihadi John, known in the region by his nom-de-guerre Jalman al-Britani, was also injured in the strike and taken to the same hospital.

The Mail has spoken to an unnamed source with links to the Islamic State (IS) leadership. According to that source, a nurse working at the hospital identified Jihadi John as one of those treated as “the one who slaughtered the journalists”.

The source explained how the injured, including Al-Baghdadi and Jihadi John, were later moved from the General Hospital in Al Qaim to a captured Syrian army barracks in Raqqa. Medical supplies and staff from hospitals in Raqqa and Deir-ez-Zour were ordered to treat them there in a reinforced bunker.

The Foreign Office has released a statement saying that they are “aware of the reports”, but that they “cannot confirm these reports”. A spokesman also told the Mail: “We are aware of reports that this individual [Jihadi John] has been injured, and we are looking into them. We have a number of sources of information coming in.

“The incident occurred last weekend, and so we have received the reports in the last few days. We don’t have any representation inside Syria, and so it is difficult to confirm these reports.”

A US Central Command spokesman has said that they cannot reveal any details for security reasons.

It appears that Jihadi John simply happened to be present at the meeting, as opposed to being specifically targeted, as British SAS forces were dispatched to Syria on the 8^th November in order to track down the terrorist while the strike occurred on November 7^th.

Unlike the majority of Western Jihadists, John has risen to a senior level within the Islamic State. Most are used as foot soldiers or prison guards, as Jihadi John himself was before carrying out the beheadings. But he has now been made a member of a shura council for the ‘wilayat’, or province, of Al Furat, an area that crosses the Iraqi-Syrian border and includes the town of Al Qaim.

It is thought that Jihadi John, who is aged between 28 and 31 and speaks English, Arabic, and classical Arabic fluently, was attending the meeting in this capacity. Fellow council member and cleric Abu Quatayba was killed in the strikes.

In the confusion following the strikes Al-Baghdadi was first rumoured to have been killed. In order to quash the rumours, a 17 minute audio recording was released in which the leader urges followers to unleash “volcanoes of jihad”. Although it is not clear when the recordings were made, the speech makes references to a decision taken by President Obama on the 7^th November to double the US troop deployment in Iraq, the Washington Post reported.

Hisham al-Hashemi, an Iraqi researcher and expert on the Islamic State told the Post “When he was reported injured, I said: ‘By the end of the week, we will either have a new speech [from Baghdadi] or a new caliph.’”

World View: Obamacare and the 'Stupidity of the American Voter'

Vladimir Putin eats lunch alone at G20 meeting

An isolated Vladimir Putin eats lunch alone at G20 meeting on Saturday(Reuters)

Nobody wanted to eat lunch with Russia's president Vladimir Putin on Saturday at the G20 Leaders' Summit being held in Brisbane, Australia. It was supposed to be an economic summit, but most other leaders used the opportunity to blast Putin for Russia's repeated military intervention in Ukraine, for annexing Crimea, and for supplying the weapons and training to the Russians who shot down the MH17 airliner over Ukraine, killing hundreds of innocent passengers. Several leaders told Putin bluntly to "get out of Ukraine."
By lunch time, Putin was so isolated that no one wanted to be seen having lunch with him, so he sat at a lunch table alone. Later, his delegation announced that he would be leaving the G20 meeting early, calling the meeting "nonsense." Australian Broadcasting

Jonathan Gruber on Obamacare and the stupidity of the American voter

Obamacare supporters have been fleeing in droves from MIT professor Jonathan Gruber, who was the principal architect of Obamacare. But there's no getting away from him. A glowing article in the NY Times on March 28, 2012, made it clear that Gruber was the number one health care expert in the country, not only because he had been developing models for decades, but also because he was a prime architect for Romneycare in Massachusetts, on which Obamacare was based.
Gruber's lectures at MIT are available on videotape, and they've revealed everything from the contemptuous attitude of Obamacare officials, and also deception and fraud in the selling of Obamacare.
According to Gruber:

This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that. In terms of risk rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed.... Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass... Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.

I'd like to point out that it's not people like me that Gruber is calling "stupid." The stupid people, in Gruber's view, are the supporters of Obamacare, who are presumably too stupid to see through the deception and fraud of Obamacare, as I was and many others were able to do. Gruber's remarks are an indictment of the Obamacare supporters, mostly Democrats who, in Gruber's view, were too stupid to see what was going on.
When I first wrote about the "Obama's health plan, a proposal of economic insanity" in 2009, I said that this plan would never be implemented because it would destroy markets and be economically disastrous. I compared it to President Richard Nixon's wage-price controls which were not as disastrous for the markets as Obama's health plan, but still wrecked the economy for close to a decade. I've repeated that many times since, and I'll discuss if further below.
However, let's turn to another Gruber quote, this one revealing financial fraud on the part of the Obamacare officials.
Obamacare advocates have repeatedly made statements to the effect, "Romneycare worked in Massachusetts, which proves that Obamacare can work across the country." However, another Gruber videotape says that's not true, because Romneycare was essentially bailed out by the federal government:

We had a pretty powerful senator you may have heard of named Ted Kennedy. Ted Kennedy had managed to figure out a way to rip off the federal Medicaid program to the tune of about $500 million a year through a series of strange manipulations.
Here was Mitt Romney’s dirty little secret that we don’t like to talk about in Massachusetts, which is the way we passed our law is the federal government paid for it.
George Bush said why am I sending this Democrat $500 million a year, I’m taking it back. Mitt Romney to his credit went to George Bush and said, look, can we keep the money if we use it for universal coverage. And Bush to his credit said yes.
We realized that we can’t do this at the state level anymore. The feds are going to have to get involved. [...]
[Kennedy was] delivering about $400 million a year in slush funds to our SafeNet hospitals, basically ripping off the federal Medicaid program.

So Romneycare was never self-sustaining, as Obamacare supporters have said, but was actually "ripping off the federal Medicaid program" to survive, according to Gruber. We now know that Obamacare was based on deception and fraud on many levels:

• "You can keep your doctor" was a knowing lie.
• "You can keep your health plan" was a knowing lie.
• "Premiums will decrease by $2,500" was a knowing lie.

Daily Caller and Washington Examiner and New York Times (29-March-2012)

Massachusetts health care site finally up -- for $254 million

It's almost impossible to even imagine the astronomical sums that have been spent on the greatest IT disaster in world history, the HealthCare.gov web sites. As I wrote a year ago, this would have been a $10 million project if implemented in the private sector. (See "1-Dec-13 World View -- Obamacare: 500M lines of code, $500M, only 60% completed" from last year.)
But let's say that it should have cost $20 million. Then triple that amount because everything the government does is inefficient, and wastes enormous amounts of money, due to corruption, public sector labor unions, and cronyism. So that would be $60 million paid to the government for something that the private sector could do for $10 million.
According to some estimates, Healthcare.gov implementation costs are now in the billions of dollars.
On Saturday, open enrollment began, and the Massachusetts Obamacare web site, known as the Health Connector, came up. The cost for this one state web site? $254 million. And that was $80 million over budget.

This is almost unbelievable. Where is all this money going? There's no way that this is simply IT development expenses. There must be hundreds of millions of dollars being skimmed off by the contractors implementing Obamacare, and those contractors are going to be big Obama supporters and Democratic party contributors. My guess is that Obamacare contractors are skimming off hundreds of millions of dollars and kicking it back to Obama administration cronies, to pay for the 2016 elections. That's the most credible explanation, until someone tells me where billions of development costs have been going.

The implementation of Obamacare

As soon as Obamacare was proposed, I called it a "proposal of economic insanity," and compared it to Nixon's wage-price controls, which is the same kind of proposal as Obamacare, at its core. I said that Obamacare would never be implemented, and I've repeated that many times.
Has Obamacare been implemented? It was supposed to be universal health coverage, and it certainly is not.
Nixon's wage-price controls were supposed to reduce inflation from 4% to 2%. That didn't happen. Instead, the economy was so screwed up with shortages and misallocations that the inflation rate rose to 12%. In other words, Nixon's wage-price controls destroyed the economy, and not only accomplished nothing, but were much worse than nothing.
Nixon's wage-price controls were popular because they promised something for nothing. They promised price controls that would keep prices of everything low. But then the shortages started occurring -- gasoline, heating oil, red meat, soybeans, and numerous other products. Nixon did everything he could to save the controls, granting special exemptions and perks to favored people, announcing frequent rule changes to resolve each new problem as it arose, and so forth.
Obamacare has followed the same path. People loved the promise of low-cost health care. But then shortages started showing up in the form of restricted networks. Skyrocketing insurance premiums are being ameliorated by federal subsidies that are a clearly in violation of the Obamacare law, and are being reviewed by Supreme Court, with a decision to be announced in June. (At least Nixon didn't try to reduce high prices with federal subsidies. That's an Obama invention.) And Obama has issued a wealth of rule changes and modifications to Obamacare to keep it from collapsing.
Obamacare supporters like to brag that there are 8 million more insured people now. That's a distortion of the situation. There are millions of "insured" people with deductibles of $5,000-$15,000. These millions of people are effectively uninsured, because they have to pay all of their medical expenses, in addition to the Obamacare insurance premiums.
The heart of Nixon's wage-price controls were the mandates -- it was illegal to increase prices or wages by more than a certain amount.
The heart of Obamacare are the mandates -- the employer mandate that forces employers to provide insurance, and the individual mandate that forces people to purchase insurance.
Both of these have been eviscerated, for the time being. Because they were so unpopular, Obama was forced to effectively postpone them until 2015, under the assumption that Obamacare would be so wildly popular by 2015 that the mandates could be implemented then. Even so, millions of people with full-time 40 hour/week jobs have been forced into part-time 29.5 hour/week jobs by employers who can't afford to pay for health insurance for their employees. These mandates are at the core of Obamacare, just as wage/price mandates were at the heart of Nixon's controls, and without the mandates, both Nixon's controls and Obamacare become meaningless.
Nixon desperately did everything he could to save his wage-price controls, but in the end they were so unpopular and so disastrous that Congress forced them to be ended. They did enormous damage to the economy and accomplished nothing.
Similarly, Republicans are going to control both houses of Congress next year. My expectation is that some "compromise" will be found to weaken the mandates so much as to make them meaningless. In that case, both Obama and Republicans will be able to declare victory, and the only casualty will be the health care system which has been enormously damaged by Obama's "Obamacare" ego trip. But no matter. Obama will have his meaningless Obamacare legacy, and his cronies will have their hundreds of millions of dollars.

The Beauty Of Liberal Tears

The web is alive today with liberal BS. They are in a panic. What will happen to the world now that Republicans have swept them out of power in the house, the senate and in a large number of governorship's across America? They whine. They cry. Nothing new under the sun. They did that BEFORE the election. Celebrities are really taking it hard. Bette Midler tweeted:

There is no "reaching across the aisle" with this

If Republicans Control The House And Senate...

I believe God's Word with all my heart. I also believe that Daniel 11:20 refers to Obama. However, with everything this lawless (p)Resident has gotten away with, it is hard to fathom that he will ever be destroyed. But everything on God's time according to His will, not ours. If it were our will, this imbecile would have never been elected in the first place. Just as when Saul was chosen king over the people of Israel, so now we have Obama. Saul was a king after the people's own heart. They chose to have a tyrant over God. Nothing new under the sun.

But I have been thinking about the ways in which his destruction could come about. It seems highly unlikely that it would ever happen if Republicans do not take the Senate and hold the House. So what would president stompy foot do if he lost control of both houses? Well, first he would throw a tantrum. That much is a given. Second, he would attempt to do everything with his phone and his pen...much like he does now except this time, he wouldn't have the control like he has been used to. 

We all know that Obama does not do well when he doesn't get his way and so far, he has not had any real opposition. He has placed his puppets in key positions and they have served his agenda well. But everything king Midas here touches does not turn to gold. He's sloppy and he isn't very bright. He has been placed high upon a pedestal by the ever adoring left and as a result feels as though he is completely untouchable. And to date, that has been true. But his armor is tarnishing and the magic is fading. Even the left knows he is toxic. But even rats know to jump from a sinking ship and swim to safety. 

I'm not sure exactly what executive order will be the one to end his reign, but rest assured, one of them will be. Or perhaps Hillary will let slip some very important information concerning Obama. Don't think that shrewd cow doesn't have damning evidence against dear leader. 

The coming days will be very interesting to say the least. The only thing I know for certain is that God is still very much in control and His Word holds true. Always.

Message For Houston Mayor, Annise Parker

Pictured right is Houston, TX Mayor, Annise Parker at her "wedding" to her lesbian partner. She has made news recently for sending subpoenas to 5 Houston pastors, demanding they turn over their sermons and notes. After the news became widespread, she back-pedaled and now is only demanding their notes. In short, she wants to know what they are telling their congregation to see if they are talking about her.

My first suggestion to her is that if she desires to know what the preachers are teaching, then she should go plop her fat ass down in a pew and listen. But she is an atheist so the message would be lost. She only cares if they are speaking out against homosexuality. I would like to help her out. Here are my "notes" concerning her "lifestyle" and the letter that I will be forwarding for her perusal.

Dear Sir, (not a typo)

In all the history of mankind in the flesh, from the very beginning, God has only come to this earth ONE time Himself for the sole purpose of destroying. It was when He came and spoke with Abraham and after telling Abraham that He was going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. In the book of Genesis, which is the very first book in the Holy Bible, God told us about Sodom. Genesis 13:13 says,

But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.

In order for you to understand why exactly God would say this, you have to understand what Sodom was all about. I will explain in terms that will leave no room for error, exactly as God's word is meant to be read and understood. Sodom received its name because of the acts the citizens would perform. Sodomy...homosexual acts. In short, the entire town was full of homosexuals who cared more for their own lusts than they ever cared for God. Sort of like you, Mr. Parker. Again, not a typo. In fact, these acts were such an exceeding abomination of the eyes of God, that He, Himself came to this earth for the sole purpose to destroy it. And destroy it He did. But there is nothing new under the sun, and now we are overrun once again with Godless people forcing their filth down the throats of those of us who wish to remain apart from the life you live. You sir, are nothing more than a bête noire, not only to me and those millions of Christians like me, but to God.

But I digress, let's get back to God's word. Genesis 18:20 says,

20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

(God has heard the cry of those who were molested there.)

21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

(God is very fair. He will find out for certain if the acts being committed in Sodom is as great as the cry of those being molested say it is.)

 32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

(Ten stands for testimony, law and responsibility. All that had to be found is 10 righteous people and the cities would have been saved.)

Only 10. Had God found 10 people in those evil cities, they would not have been destroyed. We know they were destroyed so not even 10 people could be found worthy and free from the sin of homosexuality. Perhaps instead of trying to force your Godless agenda on Christians, you should be counting your blessings that there are enough of us around to save your sorry ass from hail fire and brimstone. Not believing doesn't make it untrue. Now read about the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah in Genesis chapter 19:

 1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

(To sit in the gate means that you were a judge of a place. So Lot was a judge in Sodom. He had a position of authority in this place.)

 2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
(Lot knew what would happen to them if they stayed in the streets. The men of the city would attempt to rape them.) 3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
 4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
(The men of Sodom, all of them, surrounded the house.) 5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
(The men are telling Lot to bring the angels out so that they could molest them, or to have a sexual relationship with them.) 6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
 7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
 8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
(Lot knew that the men were not interested in women. They were only interested in other men.) 9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
(Now the men are angry with Lot so they are trying to rape him.) 10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
(The angels grabbed Lot and pulled him back inside.) 11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
(The angels made all the men outside blind. Even though they have all just been blinded, they are still trying to find the door. It is a sin for man to lie with his own kind, that is to say homosexual acts. This is not man's opinion, it is God's word. It isn’t about hate. God’s truth is just that. People have free will in this life. They are able to choose their own path. The rewards or consequences will be given to all. By God and by God alone.)12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
 13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
(This should make us all wonder how great the cry is to God in today's world.) 14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
(Lot's sons in law and married daughters made fun of Lot. They liked where they lived and did not mind the evil that went on.) 15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
 16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
(Lot kept hesitating so the angels made them leave. God was merciful to Lot. He was merciful to Lot because of Abraham, who was righteous before the Lord.) 17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
(Lot and his family were told not to look back when they left. To look back is to signify that you miss the place in which you were.) 18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
 19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
(Lot doesn't have faith that God will take care of him and his family. He likes dwelling in cities where life is easier.) 20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
(Lot is talking about Zoar. Remember Lot had chosen Sodom and chose not to leave. We shouldn't look back too many times in our lives. God's patience goes only so far.) 21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
(At least not yet. It won't take much encouragement for Lot to head for the mountain.) 22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
(Remember that Zoar was called Bela. Bela means destruction, so Lot chose destruction as a place to live. He never really chose very well. He chose places that seemed prosperous over places that would please God.) 23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
 24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
(God will not tolerate perversion.) 25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
 26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
(Lots wife did not listen to the order to not look back. She looked back in remorse for having to leave and therefore was turned into a pillar of salt. Sodom and Gomorrah was located on the extreme south of the Dead Sea. The vapors from the Dead Sea will encase everything near it in salt.) 27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
 28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
 29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
(Abraham is the reason God spared Lot.)

Homosexuality is smoke in God's nose. It is an abomination to Him and to those who love and serve Him. There is a judgment coming where all mankind receives their reward for the life they lived here on earth. Some have already had their reward here on this earth. They hold positions of power and live a very Godless lifestyle. Lest they repent, they have had their reward and there isn't one in the hereafter. Others have their reward waiting for them for an eternity.

I am supposing that you are considering this message "hate speech" but if you label this "hate", then you have effectively labeled Christianity as hate and God as hateful. Simply because the lusts of your own flesh are far more important to you and because there is a message of love that disagrees with you. 

I am guessing that the reason you are so concerned with what Christian preachers are teaching is because deep down, somewhere inside of yourself, you know your lifestyle is wrong. It is the same with all liberals. They know deep down they are wrong and that is why they fight so hard against what is right. Conservatives do not waste time or sleep over the fact that an atheist disagrees with them or what message they teach to their own followers. We do not care because we are secure in our faith. It does not matter what you say, because in the end, we are right.

We do care about how you wish to fundamentally transform this free nation. Tell me of another nation where you are free to do and say as you wish without consequence. Only here in America are you free to use the beautiful gift from God called Free Will. You are free to be an ass. You are free to make a mockery of Him. And you are free to live your life in complete sin. But do not expect that there will be no consequence for your choices. There are always consequences and this life is no different. You have been free to do as you choose. Now show some respect and back off the Church. God does not like it when His children are persecuted and make no mistake, Mr. Parker, He IS keeping tabs.

The CDC Has A Patent On Ebola

There is a lot of information and dis-information being spread right now about Ebola. Naturally, when Obama said that we have nothing to worry about from Ebola, I began to worry. If you like your virus-free body, you can keep..... you get the idea. We are being told that the Ebola virus is very hard to transmit. This is not true. In fact, it has been categorized by USAMRIID as a Class A biological weapon. In order to be classified as such, it has to be easy to spread and it is airborne.

Now recall that on July 31, 2014, Obama signed Executive Order 13295. Why is that important? Let's find out.

EXECUTIVE ORDER

- - - - - - -

REVISED LIST OF QUARANTINABLE COMMUNICABLE DISEASES

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 264(b) of title 42, United States Code, it is hereby ordered as follows:

"(b)  Severe acute respiratory syndromes, which are diseases that are associated with fever and signs and symptoms of pneumonia or other respiratory illness, are capable of being transmitted from person to person, and that either are causing, or have the potential to cause, a pandemic, or, upon infection, are highly likely to cause mortality or serious morbidity if not properly controlled.  This subsection does not apply to influenza."

Sec. 2.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department, agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

Sec. 5. Executive Order 12452 of December 22, 1983, is hereby revoked.

George W. Bush

The White House,

April 4, 2003. 

Notice that Obama changed section "B" which referred to SARS. Obama changed it to be much more broad to include Pneumonia and other "like symptoms". He has given himself the power to apprehend and detain individuals who have something such as pneumonia. And that was back in July. Now we have this Ebola outbreak, which according to USAMRIID, is a biological weapon Class A. There is a report over at sage journals that discusses how Ebola can be used as an aerosol biological weapon. That link is here: http://vet.sagepub.com/content/50/3/514.long

And health.gov has an interesting info sheet about Ebola. #6 says that it can be contracted from the "inhalation of contaminated air". And then this from sciencemag.org: 

With increasing human incursions into endemic regions and the reported possibility of airborne transmission, EBOV is a high-priority public health threat for which no preventive or therapeutic options are currently available.

People have called "right-wingers" crazy for talking about FEMA detention camps. Telling us they don't exist and other such non-sense when in fact, they do. And if they don't, then why is the Army hiring for "Internment/Resettlement Specialists? Don't believe it? Here's the link: http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jobs/browse-career-and-job-categories/legal-and-law-enforcement/internment-resettlement-specialist.html

Internment? Resettlement? Of who exactly? Anyone that the president deems a terrorist or a threat. If you're a conservative and you love America...that's you! Now, he knows he can't just round people up...at least not yet. There would be an uprising like he's never seen. But Ebola? Pneumonia like symptoms? Now we're getting somewhere. 

Now I want to put forth to you this. What if the entire Ebola outbreak is not here? What if, it is nothing more than a scare tactic being used by Obama and his minions to strike fear into the hearts of every American so that they would not only not riot in the case of internment, they would actually rally for it? Either way, evil is afoot. And many Americans will pay the price. Why would I say that the Ebola scare is manufactured? Because of the way it has been handled.

It is no secret that every single "scandal" associated with this president has been wrought with incompetence and those awake enough to notice the flaws try very hard to get the word out for others to see. Every thing Obama has done has been sloppy to say the least. The same for this Ebola thing. In Dallas, camera crews caught the clean up of vomit from the Ebola patient. No protective suits or face masks. Nothing but a power washer to "wash it away". 



And then the guy delivering the food to the quarantined lady and her son that shared the same apartment with Ebola guy was wearing no protective gear and no face mask.



This guy went right inside. Seems a little odd to me. And another thing that I find very "curious" is the fact that the CDC owns the patent on the Ebola "Invention". What? Yep. Patent No. CA2741523A1 and it was awarded in 2010. You can find it here: http://www.google.com/patents/CA2741523A1?cl=en 

The summary of this patent states, "The invention provides the isolated human Ebola (hEbola) viruses denoted as Bundibugyo (EboBun) deposited with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on November 26, 2007 and accorded accession number 200706291." It further states, "The present invention is based upon the isolation and identification of a new human Ebola virus species, EboBun. EboBun was isolated from the patients suffering from hemorrhagic fever in a recent outbreak in Uganda."

Recently on Justice with Judge Jeanine on Fox News, Dr. Bob Arnot, who is an infectious disease specialist who has spent time in developing nations, stated that "there is no medical reason to bring them (Ebola patients) here." No medical reason to bring them here. But there is if they are harvesting the disease that they invented and patented. Perhaps they are working on an Ebola vaccine. Infect you with a small amount of Ebola so that your immune system can adjust and overcome the deadly disease. Change.org, a George Soros owned entity, has created a petition to approve a vaccine for Ebola. Anything George Soros and lefties want, I can tell you I don't.

There is certainly more to this than what meets the eye. I suggest you share the heck out this information. Only when we are informed are we able to fight back against the fiery darts. And whether the Ebola risk is real or imagined, the effects are very real and either scenario is not good for the American people.
