White House: Pierson resignation in best
interest of agency
Secret Service Director Julia Pierson resigned Wednesday, after
a security breach at the White House and other high-profile incidents raised
widespread concerns about the safety of the president and his family.
Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced the
resignation in a written statement, and the White House confirmed her decision
shortly afterward. President Obama "concluded new leadership of that
agency was required," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.
Johnson said: "Today Julia Pierson, the Director of the
United States Secret Service, offered her resignation, and I accepted it. I
salute her 30 years of distinguished service to the Secret Service and the
Nation."
A source familiar with the situation told Fox News that Johnson
told Pierson the resignation would be effective immediately, after she
offered.
The resignation comes just days after the Sept. 19 incident
where an intruder jumped over the White House fence and darted past several
layers of security to enter the White House itself. He was able to make it to
the East Room before being apprehended.
Pierson's departure, though, marked a sharp turnaround from a
day earlier, when despite her rocky performance during congressional testimony
the White House voiced support for her leadership. Asked Tuesday whether Obama
had confidence in the director, Earnest said "absolutely."
But on Wednesday, the director was facing bipartisan calls to
step down. Rep. Elijah Cummings, top Democrat on the committee that grilled
Pierson, notably told NPR she is "not the person to lead that agency"
-- though he later clarified he thinks she should go if she can't restore
public trust.
Asked what had changed to lead to her resignation, Earnest said
foremost that Pierson had offered her resignation.
But he also said Wednesday that "recent and accumulating
reports" raised "legitimate questions" about the agency. Earnest
said Obama agrees that Pierson's resignation is in the best interest of the
agency.
Among those reports was the revelation that on Sept. 16, a
security contractor armed with a gun who had previously been arrested for
assault rode on an elevator with Obama and his security detail at the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, violating Secret Service
protocol. Earnest said the president only learned about that incident on
Tuesday.
New and alarming details also emerged -- seemingly by the day --
about the multiple security failures in the Sept. 19 intrusion. Not until late
Monday was it reported that he made it into the East Room, a detail that was
confirmed by Pierson during her testimony.
Johnson said that he now agrees that a "panel of
independent experts" should review the Sept. 19 incident -- something that
had been called for by lawmakers. He said such a panel will submit its
assessment and recommendations by Dec. 15.
"I will also request that the panel advise me about whether
it believes, given the series of recent events, there should be a review of
broader issues concerning the Secret Service. The security of the White House
compound should be the panel's primary and immediate priority," he
said.
He said a separate internal review will be completed by Nov.
1.
Johnson said he's appointing Joseph Clancy, a former special
agent in charge of the Presidential Protective Division who retired in 2011, as
interim director.
The Sept. 19 incident involving a Texas Army veteran who jumped
the White House fence and was able to make it deep into the Executive Mansion
before being stopped is now just one of several embarrassing disclosures about
lapses in presidential security involving the Secret Service.
Despite more than three hours of questioning by House lawmakers
on Tuesday, Pierson neglected to mention the incident in Atlanta. Her failure
to do so prompted Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, to call for Pierson's
resignation -- or firing -- in an interview with Fox News Tuesday night. In a
statement on Wednesday, Chaffetz welcomed the decision to step down and urged
the president to fill the post with "new leadership from outside the
Secret Service for a fresh start."
At Tuesday's hearing, Pierson said she was the one who briefs
Obama on threats to his personal security and said she had briefed him only
once this year, "for the Sept. 19 incident." She also disclosed that
shortly before the alleged intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, scaled the fence at
least two of her uniformed officers recognized him from an earlier troubling
encounter but did not approach him or report his presence to superiors.
Lawmakers were aghast, too, about a four-day delay in 2011
before the Secret Service realized a man had fired a high-powered rifle at the
White House, as reported by the Washington Post on Sunday.
Pierson told the hearing the security plan for protecting the
White House was not "properly executed" on Sept. 19. The Secret
Service's story about the extent of that breach changed late Monday night after
the Washington Post first reported that Gonzalez got well past the front door
of the White House. Previously it had said Gonzalez had been stopped just
inside the front door. After hours of questioning Tuesday, it remained unclear
what and when Pierson and Johnson knew about the incident. The Secret Service
is part of the Homeland Security Department.
The Sept. 19 breach was the latest black eye for the agency.
Pierson was originally brought in early last year after the 2012 prostitution
scandal in Colombia.
Gonzalez was indicted Tuesday and pleaded not guilty on
Wednesday before Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson in U.S. District Court.

Pentagon Official: The
President Is Lying To America — About Us, And About ISIS
Posted on October 1, 2014
This Pentagon official is
calling BS on Obama’s ’60 Minutes’ interview. Check out what he has to say.
President Barack Obama has taken a lot of
flack since his Sunday night “60 Minutes” interview, in which he blamed the
intelligence community for his failure to tackle the threat posed by the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. And that is right and proper. Because not only
was his excuse of blaming us a lie, but when questioned on his lie, White House
press secretary Josh Earnest doubled down with a whole new lie — both of which
are easily, publicly proven false.
On Sunday, Obama said the intelligence
community had underestimated the rise of ISIS, saying in an interview
with CBS, “Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has
acknowledged that, I think, they underestimated what had been taking place in
Syria.”
But we know that isn’t true, as nearly a dozen
administration officials have testified to the threat posed by
ISIS publicly over the last year.
Ebola in America – They’re doing it on
purpose
Something to consider. Though
I would say it is more just incompetence than them doing it on purpose.
Check it out:
Check it out:
So, Ebola has finally arrived.
I’m not surprised, and you probably aren’t, either. But, there are a few things
that you might not be aware of.
For instance, you might not
know that:
Ebola is MORE contagious in
colder climates, in the winter -than in areas where the outbreak occurred.
It is AT LEAST as contagious as Influenza A.
It takes an amazingly small amount of the Ebola virus to infect you.
They’ve been lying to you about this virus.
Oh, and one more thing…
It is AT LEAST as contagious as Influenza A.
It takes an amazingly small amount of the Ebola virus to infect you.
They’ve been lying to you about this virus.
Oh, and one more thing…
…they’re doing it on purpose.
But, you knew that.
Ebola in America – The Deadly
Implications
With this positive identification of the arrival of Ebola in America, we now have to ask ourselves about how much of a threat this is, and what the elites are attempting to do with this threat.

The Massive Threat
When you look closely at this
virus, it’s hard to see any reason for optimism. It really is one of the most
horrifying viruses known to man. It is massively contagious. It has an
extremely low survival rate. Those that survive will often die later on – from
organ failure, because of the massive internal damage this virus causes to even
those who survive.
It truly is a nightmare
disease.
Unfortunately, this nightmare
won’t go away by ignoring it, so let me show you a vitally important video that you must see and
understand:

White
House Pretends to Loosen Standards for Drone Killing
Drone killing, as anyone knows who bothers to keep up with it, doesn’t
have very strict standards. As the New York Times reported
back in June,
The group found that more than a decade
into the era of armed drones, the American government has yet to carry out a
thorough analysis of whether the costs of routine secret killing operations
outweigh the benefits. The report urges the administration to conduct such an analysis
and to give a public accounting of both militants and civilians killed in drone
strikes.
The findings amount to a sort of report card — one that delivers
middling grades — a year after President Obama gave a speech
promising new guidelines for drone strikes and greater transparency about the
killing operations. The report is especially critical of the secrecy that
continues to envelop drone operations and questions whether
they might be creating terrorists even as they are killing them.
“There is no indication that a
U.S. strategy to destroy Al Qaeda has curbed the rise of Sunni
Islamic extremism, deterred the establishment of Shia Islamic extremist groups,
or advanced long-term U.S. security interests,” the report concludes.
“No indication that a U.S. strategy to destroy Al
Qaeda has curbed the rise of Sunni Islamic extremist groups”? You mean like
ISIS, ISIL, or the Islamic State—by whatever name you use?
Anyone can look at our documented “double tap”
policy to know our
standards have always been a sham.
So now that it more months have passed since President Obama did not give new guidelines, what does he do
now? He loosens the standards that were allegedly in
place. What else would a Nobel Peace Prize winner do?
Thus, Yahoo News tells us, “White House exempts
Syria airstrikes from tight standards on civilian deaths.”
The White House has acknowledged for the first time that
strict standards President Obama imposed last year to prevent civilian deaths
from U.S. drone strikes will not apply to U.S. military operations in Syria and
Iraq.
A White House statement to Yahoo News confirming the looser policy
came in response to questions about reports that as many as a dozen civilians,
including women and young children, were killed when a Tomahawk missile struck
the village of Kafr Daryan in Syria’s Idlib province on the morning of Sept.
23.
The village has been described by Syrian rebel commanders as a
reported stronghold of the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front where U.S officials
believed members of the so-called Khorasan group were plotting attacks against
international aircraft.
But at a briefing for members and staffers of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee late last week, Syrian rebel commanders described women and
children being hauled from the rubble after an errant cruise missile destroyed
a home for displaced civilians. Images of badly injured children also appeared
on YouTube, helping to fuel anti-U.S. protests in a number of Syrian
villages last week.
So, basically, Obama imposed “strict standards”
that don’t actually apply to the major battlefield. So why not put it out there
as a general principle:
The strict standards President Obama imposed last year to prevent
civilian deaths from U.S. drone strikes will not apply to U.S. military
operations using drones anywhere in the world.
As much as I am opposed to sending troops back to
Iraq, these deaths are the inevitable result of launching mass death from the
sky. You can’t do surgery with a sledge hammer.
The main reason we were told we had to intervene in ISIS was because
they were killing people, including women and children. Does this long-term, gradual (assuming it
will ever succeed) “degrading” of ISIS really constitute help for those victims when we
are victimizing them more?

Webb 'Suicide' Looking More Like Murder
Then there's that
literal smoking gun. We're to believe that Gary shot himself in the head TWICE
with a .38? Call some gun shop owners, talk to coroners, and medical personal
about the likelihood of that scenario. Even coroner Robert Lyons admits it's
only a distinct possibility. I'd say that suicide is a slim to none
possibility...just based on the fact that there were 2 shots to the head. It's
more like a CONFIRMED COVER-UP. Yet, based on this selective pastiche of
flimsy, circumstantial evidence, projections and mere possibilities, we're told
it's a confirmed suicide, and to move on nothing, to see here.

Información Se Dijo
Looking back on
the weeks immediately following the publication of “Dark Alliance,” the
document offers a unique window into the CIA’s internal reaction to what it
called “a genuine public relations crisis” while revealing just how little the agency ultimately had to do to
swiftly extinguish the public outcry. Thanks in part to what author Nicholas
Dujmovic, a CIA Directorate of Intelligence staffer at the time of publication, describes as “a ground base of already productive relations with
journalists,” the CIA’s Public Affairs officers
watched with relief as the largest newspapers in the country rescued the agency
from disaster, and, in the process, destroyed the reputation of an aggressive, award-winning reporter.
Lo más interesante de este caso, es
que fue la CIA, con Total Impunidad, la que publicó las pruebas! No fue ningún politiquero congresista o senador!
La publicación por la CIA del caso Webb, no es nada más que una amenaza a todos los

¿Dónde está la Primera Enmienda?
¿Libertad de Expresión?
¿Qué hace la Prensa?
SILENCIO TOTAL...
Cuando yo digo
que vivimos en un estado policial y existe terrorismo de estado en EEUU,es
porque las pruebas están publicadas.
Freedom is not
Free!
Hay que defender
nuestras libertades o las perdemos!!
Permitir que una
agencia del gobierno, importe drogas, blanquear dinero, exporte armas,asesine
sus oponentes, silencie la prensa, todo esto en SUELO AMERICANO, es la definición de una Mafia
fuera de control y estamos, solo a un paso de una Dictadura… El Director de la CIA acaba de pedir
“DISCULPAS” a los Senadores por haberlos ESPIADO… y no se ha vuelto a hablar
del caso… ¿Para Quién Espiaba? Claro está que para Obama… y por eso el
crimen de espiar a nuestros senadores ha quedado IMPUNE… ni siquiera han tenido el valor los senadores de
pedir su renuncia…
No hay ni un solo
politiquero que se haya expresado publicamente contra la CIA!
Por qué? Solo hay 2 respuestas.
· No están enterados…
· Están aterrorizados por
la CIA
No importa cuál
sea su excusa, Todos los politiqueros que se han quedado
callados se merece ser expulsado de su cargo
por incompetencia a la Constitución!
Supuestamente,
hay 3 ramas equivalentes del Gobierno.
Ahora sabemos que

The

In
this video, Gowdy takes it to the Secret Service due to the fact it took them
“three to four” days after a shooting at the White House to find any evidence
of the shooting.
The

Alberto Pérez “Amenper” Thomas Eric Duncan has been
identified as the first patient with the Ebola virus in the United States. He
was visiting family in Dallas, Texas after contracting the disease while in
Liberia just days ago.
Experto de Inmigración: La administración de Obama es responsable por
permitir la entrada de paciente de Ébola en Estados Unidos.
by MATTHEW BOYLE 1 Oct 2014, 1:03 PM PDT
“La secretaria del departamento de Salud y Servicios humanos
del presidente Barack Obama, Sylvia Burwell, y el
secretario del Departamento de Seguridad Nacional Jeh Johnson, y el secretario
de Estado John Kerry son directamente responsables por permitir que el Ébola
entrara en los Estados Unidos” Dijo la directora de Estudios de Política del
Centro para Estudios de Inmigración, Jessica Vaughan a Breitbart
Noticias.
Vaughan señala la ley federal - la Ley de Inmigración y Nacionalidad (INA)
– da autoridad a la administración con "amplias facultades" para
prohibir los no ciudadanos como Thomas Eric Duncan, el primer paciente del
Ébola, la entrada al país . El gobierno no tomó ninguna medida, poniendo
potencialmente en peligro a los estadounidenses.
"Ellos tienen amplia autoridad para impedir que cualquier persona no
ciudadana de entrar en el país", dijo en una entrevista telefónica con
Breitbart News. "Así que lo que tienen que hacer es establecer un sistema
de detección para asegurar que la gente con peligro de contagio no se les va a
a permitir viajar en el país sin que sean examinadas", explicó. "Lo
hemos hecho con algunas de estas otras enfermedades en el pasado-y la forma de
hacer esto es que con cada emisión de visa tenga los resultados de los médicos
locales los cualtes examinarán las personas que reciben visas de inmigrante
para asegurarse de que no tienen la tuberculosis o la lepra y otras
enfermedades. Usted podría requerir de manera similar que las personas que
quieran viajar aquí con visas de visitantes pasen por un reconocimiento médico
y poner la carga de la prueba sobre el viajero para demostrar que no están
infectadas y no llevan la enfermedad ".
El senador Rand Paul (R-KY), en una aparición en el programa de radio
distribuido nacionalmente, la mañana del miércoles de Laura Ingraham, también
advirtió que el gobierno no estaba actuando con suficiente fuerza. "Creo
que está siendo dominado por la corrección política, y creo que porque está
siendo dominado por la corrección política no estamos realmente haciendo el
trabajo de las decisiones racionales y científicas", dijo Paul.
El gobierno ha puesto Ebola en la lista de "enfermedades
prohibidos", pero no ha tomado ninguna medida para poner juntos un proceso
de selección o la barra de la inmigración procedente de los países afectados-Ébola
en los EE.UU.
"Todo está bajo la autoridad del poder ejecutivo como manejar
eso", dijo Vaughan. "Ellos deberían estar trabajando con los expertos
en salud pública sobre la forma de detectar la enfermedad y por qué período de
tiempo las personas se deben despejar. Pero mi comprensión al escuchar los
informes sobre este caso en Dallas es que es la aerolínea lo que está haciendo
es llenar informes y tomando su temperatura. Por lo que he leído que no es
suficiente ".
"La gente tiene que no haber tenido contacto con una persona infectada
durante 21 días y esto no se está implementando- - Algunos de los miembros del
Congreso habían pedido una prohibición total de viaje desde y hacia
estos países y que es el enfoque más agresivo que se puede hacer, dicen que
simplemente no vamos a admitir personas que han estado en estos países en los
últimos tres meses ", continuó. "Eso es lo que pidió un congresista
porque eso es lo más seguro que se puede hacer.
Pero si no quieren hacer eso, se pueden hacer otras cosas como requerir la
autorización de su médico y trabajar con el médico y la gente tiene que
demostrar que no han estado en contacto con alguien durante 21 días
y sin fiebre por 21 días. "
La ley establece explícitamente que "cualquier extranjero" o
inmigrante legal o visitante ", que está expuesto (de conformidad con los
reglamentos prescritos por el Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos) para
tener una enfermedad transmisible de importancia para la salud pública", o
alguien que es "quien se determina (de conformidad con los reglamentos
prescritos por el Secretario de Salud y Servicios Humanos en consulta con el
[Secretario de Seguridad Nacional]) que pueda. tener un trastorno
físico o mental y la conducta asociada con el desorden que pueda representar, o
que ha representado, un amenaza a la propiedad, la seguridad o el bienestar del
extranjero o de otros, o "se considera que es" inadmisible ".
Como tal, Burwell y Johnson - y el presidente - lleva la responsabilidad
directa por no establecer un sistema de este tipo, dice ella. También incluye
Kerry porque el Departamento de Estado tiene amplia libertad en cuanto a la
expedición de visados a las personas
que deseen visitar o emigrar, ya sea a partir de estas naciones.
"En la expedición de visados, el DHS ha
tenido siempre esta ligera ventaja sobre Estado, pero si John Kerry quería algo
hubiera podido hacerlo", dijo Vaughan. "Y ellos [DHS y el
HHS] no podían decir Kerry en el Departamento de Estado lo que debe
hacer. Pero creo que Kerry tiene una responsabilidad aquí también porque en [el
Departamento de Estado] saben cuáles son las condiciones sobre el terreno en
esos países ".
Pero Vaughan dijo que la administración Obama no ha hecho "nada"
para la detección de Ébola entrando en los EE.UU. o para dejar de dar visas a
esos países.
"Parece que todo ha sido subcontratado a las compañías aéreas. No sé
si el Departamento de Estado ha dejado de emitir visados-Desde luego, no he oído hablar de
eso ", dijo, y agregó que si se
hubieran tomado todas las medidas se hubiera anunciado públicamente por
la administración. El único
anuncio la administración hizo en Liberia hasta el momento es que suspende las
deportaciones de inmigrantes ilegales en los EE.UU. de ese país
para que esas personas no contraigan la enfermedad a su regreso.
Vaughan dice que significa Obama está protegiendo a los extranjeros ilegales de
Ebola, pero no hace nada para proteger a los estadounidenses de la enfermedad.
"Lo que hicieron fue anunciar que suspendían las deportaciones a
Liberia con el fin de proteger a los delincuentes extranjeros que viven aquí de
tener que regresar a su propio país y contraer esta enfermedad", dijo.
Vaughan dijo que si el gobierno realmente tenía un plan anterior, no es
probable que haya habido este caso en Dallas.
"Si hubieran intervenido antes con un plan de prevención más robusto,
presumiblemente este caso de Dallas no habría ocurrido", dijo, y agregó
que Duncan - el hombre con Ebola en Dallas – debería de haber sido detenido la
entrada a Estados Unidos .
"En primer lugar, es lo que llamamos un inmigrante de un tercer país -
alguien que solicita una visa de no-inmigrante fuera de su país de
ciudadanía", dijo Vaughan. "Es una señal de alerta, porque significa
que los vínculos del solicitante con el país en el que vive se supone que son
débiles. A esto se añade el hecho de que al parecer es un joven soltero de
estado liberiano masculino desempleados en Ghana y un ciudadano del país que
tiene una de las tasas más altas de violar visa de cualquier país en el mundo y
ya tiene un familiar cercano ilegal en los EE.UU. , y este era su primer viaje
a los EE.UU. ".
"Hay muchos factores que pesan en contra de la emisión de este tipo de
visa, en cualquier caso, independientemente del problema de Ebola",
explicó. "Personalmente, estoy cómodo diciendo que probablemente no habría
emitido este hombre visa de visitante de ninguna manera. Este tipo de persona
era un prototipo de un caso en que la violación de visa hubiera ocurrido."
Iranian Doctor Hung for ‘Heresy’ After
Eight Years in Prison
Executed
for making claim that Jonah did not emerge from whale's belly
(Reuters) –
A former psychologist has been executed for heresy in Iran after eight years in
detention, human rights groups said, in the latest example of what activists
say is a worrying rise in the use of death penalty by the Islamic Republic.
Mohsen Amir
Aslani was hanged in a prison near the city of Karaj west of Tehran on Sept.
24, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), which is based
outside Iran, for “corruption on earth and heresy in religion”.
Iranian
opposition news websites have said Aslani, 37, had given religious classes
where he propagated a new interpretation of the Koran. He was also accused by
the authorities of insulting the Prophet Jonah.
The Iran
Wire website reported that in one of his classes he told his audience that
Jonah could not have emerged from the whale’s belly, and it was this statement
that led to his charge of insulting the Prophet Jonah.
U.N.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has expressed alarm at a reported increase in
executions in Iran. Iran has one of the highest levels of executions in the
world, second to China, according to Amnesty.
Some human
rights activists and others fear that hardliners who oppose pragmatic President
Hassan Rouhani and his negotiations with Western powers over the country’s
nuclear program are pushing the executions to weaken him.
Iran
officially executed 373 people in 2013. But according to Cornell University’s
Deathpenaltyworldwide.org database, there were between 624 and 727 last year,
up from an estimated 314 to 580 in 2012.
The
U.S.-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Centre puts the total number of
executions at 531 for this year.
On
Thursday, in an open letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, 18 physics
Nobel laureates called for the “immediate and unconditional” release of Iranian
physicist and prisoner of conscience, Omid Kokabee, according to a statement by
the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran.
He is
suffering serious health problems, according to the campaign.
Kokabee,
who was arrested while on a visit to Iran from the United States in 2011 where
he was studying, was charged with “communicating with a hostile government,”
and receiving “illegitimate funds.”
In an open
letter from Evin prison, in April 2013, Kokabee wrote that his imprisonment was
the result of his refusal to heed pressure by Iranian intelligence agents to
collaborate on a military research project.

¿Qué cosa es
ISIS y quien carajo son ellos?
QUIENES SON Y QUE LOS MOTIVA,
He estado
tratando de observar para averiguar exactamente quiénes son esas personas que
están jodiendo tanto.
Así me he
puesto a observar lo qué (combatientes de
ISIS) dicen acerca de sí mismos, lo que aparece en los medios sociales y
leyendo lo que personas que observan la situación y saben qué está pasando en
el terreno de fuentes locales tienen que decir.
Así que he venido a través de la observación con una división de los soldados de ISIS en tres grupos.
Así que he venido a través de la observación con una división de los soldados de ISIS en tres grupos.
El
primero de ellos son psicópatas, quienes son personas que en realidad
tienen una especie de odisea personal y que los ha impulsado a desear
sangrientos crímenes, que justifican con una ideología
fanática-religiosa de la que se han rodeado en su escape del establecimiento
social de sus países que los consideraron inadaptados sociales y
criminales.
Los
psicópatas tienden a ser extranjeros, algunas veces loquitos de los Estados
Unidos y de Europa, no siempre occidentales, pero casi siempre
personas que no son de Siria o Irak. La razón de esto es que la gente de Siria
e Irak tiene que vivir allí. No quieren hacer las cosas que son tan horribles y
grotescas que podrá enajenar las personas con las que tienen que pasar el resto
de sus vidas. Además los habitantes son sus amigos y familia que lo
conocen. Los psicópatas de Siria e Irak se van probablemente para
Afganistán o vienen a vivir a los Estados Unidos bajo las leyes de inmigración
de Obama..
El
segundo grupo son los verdaderos creyentes, quienes son investidos
profundamente en la importancia de un califato, la realización física de una
idea particular tradicional y religiosa en el mundo Islámico.
Este es probablemente el grupo más grande, y el más peligroso, son
fanáticos que están dispuesto a morir por el Islam. Estos
son los mejores soldados y los que se están entrenando para venir a los Estados
Unidos para destruirnos. Es la vanguardia de ISIS.
El último
grupo se compone de Sunitas pragmáticos que son esencialmente políticos.
Estas son
personas que han venido a la causa porque ellos ven esto como una manera de
conseguir un poco de dinero y una influencia
política Los Sunitas pragmáticos, son creyentes de la fe
musulmana pero políticos por encima de todo. Quizás sean capaces de morir
para estar con las 72 vírgenes, en el paraíso, creo que las prefieren tener en
este mundo. Este grupo es el más pequeño, pero como políticos tienen
una gran influencia en el gobierno de ISIS
En
resumen, este grupo disímil de locos, fanáticos religiosos y políticos tienen
algo en común que los une, sin este común denominador no podrían existir porque
cada grupo es diferente. Lo que tienen en común es de una manera o
de otra, es su fe Islámica.que los une en su odio al occidente.
Sólo
cuando se acepte esta realidad se puede reconocer cual es el tendón de Aquiles
de ISIS. Hay que atacar y neutralizar al Islam, esta es la única
manera de combatir a ISIS.
En otras
palabras si se acaban las virgenes ya no tienen motivación para pelear.
Amenper: La Culpa Descargada, ¿o la Culpa Descarada?
Se la pueden jugar al Canelo que a Obama
no lo van a invitar a la fiesta de Navidad de la CIA este año.
Obama, en una entrevista con
"60 minutos" CBS el domingo, una vez más descargó la culpa de los
problemas de su administración en otros. Esta vez culpó a servicio
de inteligencia exterior de la nación por supuestamente subestimar el peligro
del grupo terrorista conocido como ISIS. Como recuerdan
ISIS es el mismo grupo que Obama había comparado como un equipo
deportivo de segunda categoría y que dijo que no ofrecía peligro para los
Estados Unidos.
Pero las agencias de inteligencia
no se han quedado calladas y han reportados que Obama había sido informado y
advertido de la creciente tormenta que representaba ISIS.
Claro que CBS reportó esto en las
noticias de la madrugada, donde sólo unos cuantos desvelados se enteraron.
Pero dados los hechos, el
Presidente debe compartir la culpa. Sin embargo esto no se comenta mucho,
porque los medios de comunicación se ocupan de darle una vuelta a la
situación. Ahora dicen que la culpa es de todos, que todos se equivocaron,
de esa manera la culpa de Obama luce más disminuida.
Esta fue la segunda bofetada
que Obama le da a las agencias de inteligencia en Estados Unidos en tantos
meses. Dijo el Presidente en agosto, "Creo que sin duda hay avance ese
(ISIS), (su) movimiento durante los últimos meses ha sido más rápido que las
estimaciones de la inteligencia y creo que las expectativas de las autoridades
tanto dentro y fuera de Irak".
Todo el mundo tiene la culpa menos
Obama. No dijo nada de Bush esta vez, porque la culpa de Bush es omnipresente
en las noticias de la prensa complaciente, así que no tiene mucho que
preocuparse por repetir tanto sobre la culpa de Bush como lo hacía al principio
de su administración.
Pero el registro muestra claras
advertencias dadas en sesiones del Congreso en enero y febrero (si no antes)
sobre la creciente potencia de ISIS. Y agregó a un ex alto funcionario del
Pentágono para el The Daily Beast, "o el Presidente no lee la inteligencia
o él se va en imprecación” (una figura retórica que consiste en expresar
el deseo de que les acaezca el mal a otros) Una manera de decir
que el insulto del presidente a las agencias es basado en
la "mentira".
Érase una vez bajo un tipo llamado
a Harry Truman, que dijo el cubo se detiene con el Presidente.
Esto se refiere a cuando en el pasado el
fuego se apagaba pasando un cubo de agua de mano en mano, en el último que era
el que tenía que echar el agua al fuego era donde se detenía el cubo.
Pero con Obama lo que se debiera detener
son las ruedas de los camiones bajo las cuales el Presidente sigue lanzando a
otros cuando los culpa por sus propios fracasos de liderazgo.

Mark Levin Calls for Investigation into Obama
Intel Briefings
He has only attended 42% of the intel briefings…
Check it out:
Check it out:
On Tuesday, conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin called
for an investigation into the contents of President Barack Obama’s daily intelligence briefings that warned of the
Islamic State’s (ISIS) rise years ago–a claim substantiated by Obama’s own
national security staff in comments to the Daily Mail.
“He was aware of all of it, if he had read his intelligence briefings,” said
Levin. “He is the commander-in-chief. The reason they put together that daily
intelligence briefing–Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
and Sunday, and sometimes two or three times a day, depending–is so he’ll read
it. That’s the least he can do, because most presidents, all previous
presidents, have had it explained to them, so they can ask questions right
there on the spot and interact. But not Obama.”

Miriam Dopico: Local
paper "Testing on Trial"
Good info from a local reporter, new info on Gov. Scott and Jeb Bush.
At least
this reporter made an effort. We know there is such a huge problem with the
testing and the "follow the money" but it would take another huge
article to disclose the indoctrination, the deliberate, dumbing down, the
controlling of a child's life, the lack of parental control, the distorting of
American history, the "human capital" and the misinformation about
why "opting out" of the testing is going to have some many ill
effects (on that alone we need to get Dr. Karen Effrems' 10 page summary of the
"Response to Dire Consequences Predicted for Students, Employees and
Funding if Lee County Opts Out of State Tests" in front of the reporter).
I give this gentleman a lot of credit, he spent time on the subject, but we
know so much more is wrong about the Federal Program known as Common Core and
what damage it is having to our children, our families and our country!
IS TEXAS BECOMING A
BATTLEGROUND
Wayne Thorburn
In early 2013,
Democratic activists who had previously coordinated field work for the Obama
campaign in other states launched “Battleground Texas,” dedicated to turning
Texas blue. Backed by a number of major Democratic donors, the group
claims to have raised more than six million dollars in its drive to build a
Democratic infrastructure, recruit candidates, register and turnout voters for
the Democratic ticket. Originally operating out of Austin, the project moved
its headquarters to Fort Worth and is closely coordinating its efforts with the
Davis for Governor campaign. While the names Wendy Davis and Greg Abbott will
be on the November ballot, the more lasting verdict for Texas politics may well
be the performance of Battleground Texas. Though it has received much media
focus and the attention of many political observers, the results to date are
anything but positive.
The late
Democratic Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Tip O’Neil, once
declared that “all politics is local.” If rebuilding the Texas Democratic Party
involves strengthening the grass roots and building a farm team, then this year
was an abysmal failure for Battleground Texas. Of the 254 counties in Texas,
Democrats were unable to find anyone to run for County Judge – the chief
elected official in county government – in 165 counties. Without a single vote
being cast, Republicans will control at least 65 percent of all the county
judge offices for the next four years.
Not a single
Democrat could be found who was willing to run for any county office in 86
counties – more than one-third of the total. These 86 include the
heavily-populated suburban counties of Denton, Montgomery, Johnson, Parker, and
Comal as well as the other urban counties of Bell (Temple), Randall (Amarillo),
and Grayson (Sherman). For the Texas legislature, the party was unable to
recruit anyone to run in 42 percent of the state representative districts and
40 percent of the state senate seats on this year’s ballot. As the old
saying goes, “you can’t win the game when you don’t field a team.”
Beyond
recruiting candidates, the next task for anyone attempting to rebuild a party
is to locate individuals willing to help conduct a primary election. This year
Democrats were unable to find anyone to administer a primary in twenty-two
counties, almost ten percent of the state’s counties. This is the greatest
number in the state’s history and an increase from eight in the last
gubernatorial election year. When no Democratic primary is held, that county’s
voters have no opportunity to choose the Democratic Party’s nominees for
governor, U.S. senator or any other offices. Without a primary, no Democratic
candidates for county-level office can be nominated.
If
Battleground Texas is committed to registering more voters and turning them
out, then their first test was the 2014 Democratic primary. This year,
some 555,000 Texans cast a ballot in the Democratic primary, a total that for
the third straight election year has been decreasing rather than increasing. In
fact, this year’s total of Democratic primary voters is lower than in any year
since 1920 when 450,000 voted. In 1920, however, the state’s total
population was only 4,723,000 as contrasted with a current population of some
26 million.
Having failed
to recruit candidates for many county and state legislative offices, with no
one willing to conduct a primary in twenty-two counties, and the lowest primary
turnout in more than ninety years, the remaining test for Battleground Texas
and the state Democratic Party is the performance of its statewide candidates this
November. Over the last nine elections, Democrats have run seventy-nine
candidates for statewide offices; none of them has won and only fourteen of
them (17.7%) have been able to obtain a minimum of 45 percent of the vote, one
measure of a competitive election. Should this year’s slate of candidates
fail to do much better one must wonder whether Democratic big-dollar donors
will continue to pour money into Battleground Texas or move their contributions
and resources to more favorable territory.

PERSONAL LIBERTY DIGEST:
Do You Support Obama's Airstrikes Against Islamic Terrorists?
Mr. Lázaro R González Miño “En mi opinión”
Dear Friend,
Terrorist activity is at a fever pitch as Islamic terrorists carve a path of death and destruction across the Middle East. Citing the recent beheadings of civilians, including two American journalists, President Obama says the United States will not back down from their threats. To counter the violence, the President, backed by Congress, authorized airstrikes by U.S. military on terrorist targets in the Middle East.
There are concerns the President's plan has the potential to commit the U.S. military to another costly long-term engagement in the Middle East. But the experts tell us Islamic terrorists present a significant threat to the United States and our interests and should be dealt with strongly and swiftly.
PersonalLiberty.com, America's #1 news site for independent-minded individuals, is conducting an urgent poll to find out if you support the President's decision to bomb Islamic terrorists or if you believe we have spent enough time and money on the deteriorating situation in the Middle East.
The results of the poll will be available to you after you submit your vote, and we'll also share the poll results with major media outlets across the country. Thousands will vote, so take a moment right now to stand up and be counted. Your opinion matters!

Reports: ISIS Within a Mile of Baghdad
Islamic State militants are reportedly within a mile
of Baghdad despite battling Iraqi forces and U.S.-led airstrikes, and there is
"immense fear among everybody," the vicar of the only Anglican church
in Iraq said Tuesday.
"We are at a crisis point," Canon Andrew White, vicar of St George's Church in Baghdad, told Sky News. "People know ISIS are coming nearer."
The Islamic State is also known as ISIS.
White's work is supported by the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, which said late Monday in a Facebook posting: "The Islamic State are now less than 2km away from entering Baghdad."
"We are at a crisis point," Canon Andrew White, vicar of St George's Church in Baghdad, told Sky News. "People know ISIS are coming nearer."
The Islamic State is also known as ISIS.
White's work is supported by the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East, which said late Monday in a Facebook posting: "The Islamic State are now less than 2km away from entering Baghdad."
"They said it could never happen, and now it almost has. Obama says he overestimated what the Iraqi army could do," the posting said, referring to President Barack Obama.
"Well, you only need to be here a very short while to know they can do very very little," the posting said.
He told Sky News that the U.S.-led airstrikes against ISIS are doing little more than killing civilians.
"People are being killed by the attacks of the coalition," he said.
"This is horrendous," he said about the Islamic State's advance into Iraq's capital city. "We have civilians being killed, yet [the Islamic State] are moving toward Baghdad."
Renewed fighting has also occurred in such central Iraqi cities as Baquba and Ramadi, Sky News reports, as ISIS fighters appear to have advanced within 3 miles of Kobani, a critical border town in Syria, despite the airstrikes.
The reports come as the White House remains in damage-control mode after Obama toldCBS' "60 Minutes" on Sunday that U.S. intelligence officials had underestimated the ISIS threat.
The suggestion angered congressional Republicans, leading Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, to charge that "this was not an intelligence community failure, but a failure by policymakers to confront the threat."
Obama had said:
"Our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria." He was referring to James Clapper, director of national intelligence.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest sought to clarify Obama's remarks, noting that he was not blaming anyone as the U.S. sought global cooperation in the airstrikes that seek to weaken ISIS strongholds in Syria and Iraq.
"That is not what the president's intent was," Earnest said Tuesday. "What the president was trying to make clear" was "how difficult it is to predict the will of security forces that are based in another country to fight."
In his Sky News interview, White said of Baghdad: "I've never known the city like it is at the moment."
"Streets which are usually choc-a-bloc with traffic, cars and people are almost empty. People are too fearful to even leave their homes."
He said that his church most likely would be "very high up" on the Islamic State's target list and that "I must be at the top of the list."
White told Sky News that one Iraqi soldier told him that if he was confronted by ISIS he would "take off his uniform and run," and that he was in the army "because he needs the money."
"This, sadly, is the kind of attitude of so many of these forces who should be coming to our aid and help," he said.
According to The Daily Mail, airstrikes over the weekend appeared to have halted ISIS militants' advance at Ameriyat al-Falluja, a small city about 18 miles south of Fallujah and 40 miles west of Baghdad.
But most of the fighters were undaunted — and many are making their way to the suburbs of Baghdad, the Daily Mail reports.
In a Facebook posting earlier Monday, White said: "Over 1,000 Iraqi troops were killed by ISIS yesterday, things are so bad."
"All the military airstrikes are doing nothing," he added. "If ever we needed your prayers, it is now."

Urgent: Should Obamacare Be Repealed? Vote Here Now!
El Estado es "esencialmente" ineficiente.
Enviado por Clemente Sanchez.
Afirmar que el Estado es
"esencialmente" ineficiente puede resultar una afirmación algo audaz
para muchos, pero solo se trata de una mera descripción bastante concordante
con lo que muestra el presente.
Es importante no caer en la trampa que proponen los que se sienten a gusto
equiparando la realidad con sus propias utopías. No es razonable discutir
intentando poner en un plano de igualdad, una evidencia de la vida cotidiana
con esa entelequia con la que sueñan los mismos que dicen que el problema son
los protagonistas de la historia y no la estructura conceptual sobre la que se
edifica cierta visión ilusoria.
Los defensores de la idea del Estado eficiente dicen que existen sobrados
ejemplos en la actualidad de naciones que han llevado adelante proyectos
exitosos que permiten dejar atrás las recurrentes críticas a las eternas
deficiencias que se describen con lujo de detalles.
Lo cierto es que esos países que parecen victoriosos en esta batalla por
conseguir esa fantasía, son buenos ejemplos gracias a un proceso de comparación
superficial con otros efectivamente peores como los que se conocen tan
frecuentemente en estas latitudes. Se trata, en todo caso, de una mirada
relativa, que elogia exageradamente desempeños considerados aceptables respecto
de otros claramente desafortunados.
Es solo una cuestión de matices, pero no de fondo. El Estado y la eficiencia
son conceptos absolutamente contrapuestos, definitivamente incompatibles, que
no tienen consonancia alguna. Tal vez para profundizar la discusión sea
necesario recordar que la eficiencia está directamente asociada a
"conseguir un propósito empleando los medios idóneos" y se debería
partir desde allí si se quiere analizar el asunto con seriedad y sin
apasionamientos excesivos.
El Estado dispone habitualmente de administradores circunstanciales, simples
operadores del sistema, que en general son los que han superado ciertos
procedimientos de selección, que en el mejor de los casos son representantes
elegidos por el mandato popular en las democracias más desarrolladas, y en
otros ni siquiera bajo esa modalidad, sino bajo las reglas de esquemas mas
autoritarios y arbitrarios.
En todos los casos, los que toman decisiones son personas que administran un
patrimonio ajeno, bienes que son de todos los ciudadanos de una jurisdicción,
dineros de cada habitante local. A la hora de orientar esos recursos, aun
mediando la buena fe, la mejor de las intenciones y un espíritu saludable, se
cae inevitablemente en cierta injusticia.
No es que en el sector privado eso no pueda suceder. También allí se toman
determinaciones inadecuadas y se cometen errores, muchas veces groseros. La
diferencia pasa por quien paga los costos de esos desaciertos.
Cuando algo sale mal y están involucrados solo privados, pues se trata de
decisiones que se han tomado asumiendo la existencia de riesgos y los costos de
esas cuestiones las pagan solo los individuos involucrados.
Ahora cuando esas decisiones equivocadas se incurren en el ámbito estatal, los
disparates los pagan todos los ciudadanos. Eso significa que cada individuo
deberá trabajar más para que nuevamente le sean quitados más recursos ganados
con su esfuerzo vía más impuestos, endeudamiento o emisión monetaria.
Los criterios de eficiencia tienen que ver con ideas relacionadas a la
austeridad, al lucro y a la humana necesidad de solo gastar con la visión
de maximizar utilidades. Al menos así se razona en el medio privado, y hasta en
el estrictamente individual y familiar. No es que se trate de un mecanismo
infalible, de hecho no siempre sale bien, pero cuando alguien falla el que paga
los costos también es ese operador particular y no todos.
En el sector estatal, la austeridad es un concepto casi siempre ausente. A la
hora de elegir, de erogar y comprar, no necesariamente se tomarán decisiones
como en el sector privado. Se incurrirán probablemente en excesos, lujos
superfluos y privilegios que ni se justifican. A cambio de eso se obtendrá un
resultado de menor jerarquía, que insume más recursos de los necesarios, al
menos si se toma como referencia el criterio con el que se hubiera manejado una
inversión llevada adelante con dinero propio.
Al final del camino, la discusión conducente solo debería pasar por minimizar
los niveles de ineficiencia. Pero se debe asumir previamente esa ineficiencia
intrínseca del Estado, propia de su esencia, que forma parte de sus entrañas
más profundas y que no debe ser negada para poder operar adecuadamente. La
tarea pasa por atenuar el impacto de esos despilfarros, acotar lo improcedente
e incorporar cierta dosis de racionalidad.
No es que no exista forma alguna de lograr parcialmente resultados alentadores.
Pero algunos ingredientes son imprescindibles para conseguirlo. La
transparencia en el uso de los recursos, la publicación de los actos de
gobierno, la información abundante y al alcance de los ciudadanos, permite
disminuir el costado negativo de esta innegable realidad.
Los procesos abiertos de información, evitan parte de la corrupción estructural
y reducen la chance de que el funcionario de turno seleccione caminos con
absoluta discrecionalidad. Se debe trabajar mucho en esta cuestión, pero
resulta indispensable entender el problema con claridad y asumir
definitivamente que el Estado es esencialmente ineficiente.

Teacher: We’re Overwhelmed by Illegal Kids
The headline of the story: “Schools Scramble to Help Teenagers Who
Crossed the Border,” and I must warn you: The AP is not even calling them
“undocumented migrants” anymore.
Now they are just “unaccompanied minors.” It’s from Frankford,
Delaware. “American schools are scrambling to provide services to the large
number of children and teenagers who crossed the border alone in recent months.
Unaccompanied minors…” As I say, they’re no longer “undocumented migrants,” no
longer “illegal immigrant children.” Nope. These are “unaccompanied minors who
made up the summer spike at the border have moved to communities of all sizes,
in nearly every state, Federal data indicates, to live with a relative and
await immigration decisions.”
To live with relatives.
That’s the key to this. At least they want us to think it’s the
key.
“The Supreme Court has ruled that schools have an obligation to
educate all students regardless of their immigration status, so schools have
become a safe haven for many of the tens of thousands of these young people
mostly from central America living in limbo.” They’re not in limbo. They’re
home free! That’s what’s happened here. They’re not in limbo. What is this
limbo business? They’re home free. The taxpayers are gonna be paying through
the nose for it.

Staggering Prediction About Ebola In America
In an article published in a scientific journal one month ago, an
international team of scientists correctly predicted Ebola would reach the
United States by the end of September, arguing a reduction in airline travel of
as much as 80 percent would only delay the international spread of the disease
by three to four weeks at most.
The study, published in the scientific journal PLOS Currents:
Outbreaks, used data supplied by the World Health Organization on the current
Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Yesterday, the Centers for Disease Control reported the first case
of Ebola brought to the U.S. by an airline passenger.
The study noted the near impossibility of completely ending air
travel from Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the three West African countries
most affected by the disease. It pointed out that airlines that have
discontinued flights continue to assist West African travelers by booking them
on other airlines.
“We have explored the scenario assuming an 80 percent airline
traffic flow reduction to and from the West African region that provided
evidence of a general time-delay of the distribution characterizing the
probability of case importation of about three to four weeks,” the scientists
said.
