Even More Warning Signs: Obama Poised for Hostile Military Takeover of U.S. – Part 2

Read Part 1 here.

A week ago, I laid out a list of things President Obama has put in place to set the nation up for his hostile military takeover.

After my first post about Obama’s hostile military takeover, I received an  email from a reader that offered an explanation to my pondering of why NOAA  (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) would also be ordering millions of rounds of ammunition and assault rifles. He offered the idea that it is an ironic twist to Obama’s relationship with terrorist Bill Ayers.

Ayers was a wanted domestic terrorist back in the 1960s and 1970s. Ayers was a co-founder of the terrorist group known as the Weather Underground. Now, Obama is using NOAA, a federal weather agency to  stockpile weapons and ammunition for his terrorist assault on the American  people.

Today, I would like to add a few more items to that list that makes the case for his hostile military takeover even more compelling.

It has now been confirmed that the goal of the Department of Homeland Security is to purchase a total of 1.6  billion rounds of ammunition. A portion of that ammunition is hollow point bullets, which have been banned from use in war by international law. Another portion is specialized sniper ammunition.

In case you have a difficult time comprehending the significance of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, allow me to give you a couple of  comparisons.  During the height of the war in Iraq, the US  Army fired less than 6 million rounds per month. That means DHS has  enough ammunition to supply the US Army for 266.67 months (22.22 years) of  intense war.

Currently, the DHS uses approximately 15  million rounds of ammunition every year at their various training  facilities. At that rate, they have enough ammunition for 106.67 years of training.

So ask yourself, what is the justification for the purchase of 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition by the Department of Homeland Security, especially when some of it is illegal to use in war?  Now ask yourself why Sen. Dianne Feinstein is so concerned about private citizens stockpiling ammunition, weapons and using high capacity magazines when the federal government is doing the same time only a thousand times more?

Perhaps the abundance of ammunition goes along with the purchase of ‘Mine Resistant Protected’ MaxxPro MRAP vehicles that are scheduled to be deployed on the streets of America. The number of vehicles they are purchasing has not been released, but they are part of the 2,717 that have been recently retrofitted by the manufacturer. The DHS appears to be taking delivery of  the armored vehicles through the Marine Corps Systems Command located in Quantico, Virginia.

The scary part of the DHS acquiring MRAP vehicles is that they have been already been spotted in a number of cities throughout the country. DHS cannot deny their existence since a number of them have been photographed and videoed by citizen observers. Why would DHS need so many, assuming they are purchasing over a thousand, MRAP vehicles deployed throughout the US, unless they are preparing for a war of some kind. Now add to that question the  fact that the MRAP vehicles are equipped with gun ports.

There can be no doubt that Barack Hussein Obama is preparing for the bloodiest war in American history and it’s going to take place here on American soil.  When?  It has to be prior to the 2016 election, unless he  manages to force a constitutional amendment allowing himself to run for a third term. However, I truly don’t think the amendment will be necessary, because he plans to forcibly take control of the country prior to the election. Everything points to the conclusion that this is all in  preparation for a hostile military takeover.

Obama Sucks!I’m going to enjoy sitting back and observing how the arrogant plebeian in the white house handles this issue.

His hubris hates anybody or anything that curbs his outlandish Marxist behavior. How dare anybody tell him anything! He’s the DICKtator-in-chief, by Allah!

I say, if he wants to play dictator, he should head back home to Kenya and hang with his tribesmen on the Serengeti plain. He and his homeys there can hatch all kinds of big plans as they swat flies all day long.

Obama is being forced to come back down to earth, so his days of usurping/circumventing/breaking the law are over.

Somehow, he and his homey in the Justice Department, ‘Huckleberry’ Holder, seem to think they’re above the law. Guess we’ll see about that. He’s already a lame duck POTUS and his second term has just begun. Quack, quack, quack…

OBAMA IMPEACHMENT BILL NOW IN CONGRESS

Declares president’s use of military without approval ‘high crime, misdemeanor’

Let the president be duly warned.

Rep. Walter B. Jones Jr., R-N.C., has introduced a resolution declaring that should the president use offensive military force without authorization of an act of Congress, “it is the sense of Congress” that such an act would be “an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor.”

Specifically, Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution reserves for Congress alone the power to declare war, a restriction that has been sorely tested in recent years, including Obama’s authorization of military force in Libya. (more…)

Dinesh D’Souza has taught us one thing. Psychological understanding and exposition of Obama’s evil portent was ineffective in preventing his re-election.

There is only one sure way to deal with dictators like Hitler, Stalin or any political figure who abuses their power and takes your country hostage. You declare revolutionary war on them and don’t stop until they are brought to justice or killed. It really doesn’t matter which. Anybody heard much from Saddam Hussein or Manuel Noriega lately?

But to do this, you must accept that you may not survive the fight, and you must be prepared to kill. Millions of Americans would accept these terms in a second. Millions already have.

There comes a point when words are no longer effective and you must fight. That point for traditional Americans is now. This is why the government wants your firearms.

They couldn’t care less about “the children.”

Yesterday I wrote a piece on the Obama-Biden Libyan fiasco: Libya: Obama’s ‘Pillow Fight’.

Today I have a simple message for the highly hypocritical Obama-Biden team.

I agree with Biden when he ranted about the Bush-Cheney possible launch of military action against Iran without congressional approval. In fact, I agree so deeply that I challenge the Obama-Biden team to impeach themselves for their actual illegal actions against Libya. If it would have been illegal for Bush-Cheney, then it’s illegal for Obama-Biden as well.

Dear VP Biden,

I agree with your take on the possible Bush-Cheney illegal military action against Iran which you stated in the article from my post Libya: Obama’s ‘Pillow Fight.

As I see it, you now have two choices.

1. Impeach yourself and Obama immediately, then SHUT THE FUCK UP!

2. Just SHUT THE FUCK UP!

I really don’t care which way you choose, but please have the balls to make a choice. Or, again, I invite you to SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Joe Biden's zipper is open

Instead of calling it a war, which is precisely what bombing military assets of some other nation is, the loony left regime has chosen to tone down Obama’s illegal and impeachable (according to Joe Biden’s definition) actions taken against Libya by labeling it a ”Kinetic Military Action.”

I’m a scuffed-in Cavalry veteran. Excuse me while I laugh here. Ha ha ha.

Given the left’s obvious denial and subsequent rally to protect Obama “The Anointed One,” why not instead call the action against Libya a pillow fight? If one is aimimg for the absurd, why not go all the way?

Moreover, Obama has now yielded complete control of military action against Libya to the United Nations. Why? Perhaps to undo his mistake of sending military assets to Libya in the first place, again something Biden views as illegal (and the UN is as worthless as teats on a boar hog).

No matter how you slice it, we were at war with Libya for at least a handful of days. Yet Biden is eerily quiet on this subject he so energetically and angrily deployed against Dick Cheney and G.W. Bush when they contemplated using US troops to ”launch an attack on a foreign country without congressional authorization.” In that case it would have been Iran.

The tables have now turned. Obama-Biden is the new Bush-Cheney team and Libya is the foreign country in queston. They had no congressional authorization to attack. Oops!

Don’t get me wrong. I believe we should have gone in sooner and stayed the course until Wacky Qackdaffy was ousted. But fair is fair and somebody needs to press hypocritical Biden on this issue and sound off now just as he did in the article below.

Biden’s words about Bush:

Biden: Impeach President for Unauthorized Attack

Vice President Joe Biden has a very clear idea of what should happen to a president who orders U.S. military forces to launch an attack on a foreign country without congressional authorization: impeachment.

With some voices saying President Barack Obama should face impeachment for attacking Moammar Gadhafi’s forces in Libya, a videotape has surfaced from the 2007 campaign trail showing Biden threatening to impeach President George W. Bush if he attacked Iran without the approval of Congress.

“I have written an extensive legal memorandum with the help of a group of legal scholars who are sort of a stable of people, the best-known constitutional scholars in America, because for 17 years I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee,” Biden said in an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on “Hardball.”

“I asked them to put together [for] me a draft, which I’m now literally riding between towns editing, that I want to make clear and submit to the United States Senate pointing out the president has no authority to unilaterally attack Iran.

“And I want to make it clear, I want it on the record … if he does, as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and former chair of the Judiciary Committee, I will move to impeach him.”

He went on to say: “I think the best deterrent is for the president to know, even at the end of his term, we would move and move to follow through with that so his legacy would be marred for all time if he acted in what was clearly, clearly an impeachable offense.

“In the absence of that, what happens is, and you’re going to think I’m joking about this — I’m not. If you’re going to impeach George Bush you better impeach Cheney first. Not a joke.” src

So, if they’re going to impeach Obama, should they impeach Biden first? According to Biden, the answer is yes and “not a joke.” This could explain Biden’s silence on this subject.

The hypocritical double standard is obviously still alive and thriving inside the DC beltway.

Minorities

We need to show more sympathy for these people.

  • They travel miles in the heat.
  • They risk their lives crossing a border.
  • They don’t get paid enough wages.
  • They do jobs that others won’t do or are afraid to do.
  • They live in crowded conditions among a people who speak a
    different language.
  •  They rarely see their families, and they face adversity all day ~ every day.

I’m not talking about illegal Mexicans. I’m talking about our troops! Doesn’t it seem strange that many Democrats and Republicans are willing to lavish all kinds of social benefits on illegal’s, but don’t support our troops, and are even threatening to defund them? If you wish, pass this on. It is worth the short time it takes to read it.

On June 14, 1775, Congress in Philadelphia authorized a new Continental Army to prosecute what had just become a shooting war with British regulars around Boston — dispatching Gen. George Washington to organize a siege of the city.

The army’s first major victory came only months later, as a daring nighttime expedition to install artillery at Dorchester Heights forced the British evacuation of the city.

Today, the United States Army celebrates its 234th birthday — marking a proud history in which it has triumphed everywhere from the breastworks of New Orleans to the beaches of Normandy and New Guinea to the streets of Baghdad.

Indeed, the ragtag force that nearly froze at Valley Forge has long since evolved into the most effective defender of human freedom in world history.

Not a bad record, that.

To be sure, today’s Army faces daunting challenges: After nearly eight years of war — most spent fighting a pair of grueling counterinsurgencies — it still must be prepared to defend America’s security from threats all over the world.

Yet the men and women who wear the uniform — some of their generation’s best and brightest — have never shrunk from the task.

Clearly, the country’s freedom remains in good hands.

Happy birthday.

And…

HAPPY FLAG DAY!

IN his press conference Wednesday night, President Obama offered a nice little sermonette on “shortcuts.”

Asked about his decision to release the “torture memos” and ban waterboarding, Obama said: “I was struck by an article that I was reading the other day talking about the fact that the British during World War II, when London was being bombed to smithereens, had 200 or so detainees. And Churchill said, ‘We don’t torture,’ when . . . all of the British people were being subjected to unimaginable risk and threat . . . Churchill understood, you start taking shortcuts, over time, that corrodes what’s best in a people. It corrodes the character of a country.”

It’s a nice, honorable statement. But there’s not much evidence it’s true. (more…)

Time to Disambiguate Misunderstandings Surrounding U.S. Military Veteran Holidays

Today we honor our veterans, those who have served bravely and courageously to keep America safe, secure and free. Happy Veterans Day to those who are military veterans.

How is one classified a U.S. veteran?

From Wiki:

“The most common usage is for former armed services personnel. Veteran is one who has served in the armed forces, but usually not someone who had a dishonorable discharge. It is especially applied to those who served for an entire career, usually of 20 years or more, but may be applied for someone who has only served one tour of duty. A common misconception is that one had to have either been in combat and/or has retired from active duty to be called a military veteran. Because of this widely held misconception, women have sometime excluded themselves from veterans groups or benefits, despite military service.”

Also, I would love it if somebody would please “splain” to TV networks, Obama and the Democratic party, liberals, and anyone else who does not realize that Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day, and vice versa.

For their edification:

  • VETERANS DAY is for honoring LIVING veterans, observed each November 11th.
  • MEMORIAL DAY is for honoring DEAD veterans who were killed during wars/conflicts, observed the last Monday of each May.

Q: How do I know this?

A: I’m a DAV.

And…

Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corp

To all Jarheads out there, especially to my best friend TB who is a Vietnam Veteran, we offer a hearty and belated Happy Birthday to the United States Marine Corp, which is observed each November 10th — the day before Veterans Day.

From Wiki:

“The United States Marine Corps traces its institutional roots to the Continental Marines of the American Revolutionary War, formed at Tun Tavern [gotta love that!] in Philadelphia, by a resolution of the Second Continental Congress on November 10, 1775, to raise 2 battalions of Marines. That date is regarded and celebrated as the date of the Marine Corps’ ‘birthday’.”

Got it now?

You’re welcome.

Iraqis in Jordan More Interested in US Elections Than Jordani Citizens

by Mohammad Ghazal, Ashlea Surles and Shlomo Muslim, PhD

AMMAN – Democratic candidate Barack Obama supports putting a time frame for withdrawal of troops while Republican John McCain supports more troops in Iraq.

“The elections are so important to me. It means I either go back to Iraq or never. I follow them everyday,” Yousef Rabaii, a 42-year-old Iraqi who has been residing in Amman with his family for three years, said.

Rabaii said the two candidates do not usher in a secure and safer Iraq. However, he thinks a win by Obama is not a positive impact on Iraq. (more…)

I can identify with this piece as if I wrote it myself. I hope other veterans might also share my emotions as they read this thoughtful poem.

I Was a Soldier Once

I was a soldier once, fast, strong, young, and smart.

I stood with the deadly and was counted dangerous amongst them.

I have fought on foreign soil for things that did not own my heart and have plumbed the depths of my soul for its last ounce of true loyalty.

I have known the loneliness of a night vigil at a distant post and the joy of a dawn victory surrounded by hard won friends.

I have defended the weak and the sacred.

I have known justice as a craftsman knows a well worn tool but too I have represented iniquity.

I cry now.

Time and distance and the violence of battle has removed my health, my sanity, and the comrades I held dear.

I have never feared death, for I do not believe it to be an end except to mortal pain, and I do not fear it now.

I fear being useless.

If nothing else I ask for a warm soft spot from which to tell stories to the coming generations, so they too might one day stand, knowing they once shined in the sun and their deeds might not be forgotten.

Jewish Georgian Official: Our army has IDF training to thank

From Haaretz

Jewish Georgian Minister Temur Yakobshvili on Sunday praised the Israel Defense Forces for its role in training Georgian troops and said Israel should be proud of its military might, in an interview with Army Radio.

“Israel should be proud of its military which trained Georgian soldiers,” Yakobashvili told Army Radio in Hebrew, referring to a private Israeli group Georgia had hired.

Yakobashvili, Georgia’s minister of reintegration, added that this training provided Georgia with the know-how needed to defend itself against Russian forces in the clashes which erupted last last week in the separatist region of South Ossetia

Yakobashvili said that a small group of Georgian soldiers had able to wipe out an entire Russian military division due to this training.

“We killed 60 Russian soldiers just yesterday,” said Yakobashvili. “The Russians have lost more than 50 tanks, and we have shot down 11 of their planes. They have enormous damage in terms of manpower,”

Yakobashvili warned that the Russians would try and open another battlefront in Abkhazia and he denied reports that the Georgian army was retreating. “The Georgian forces are not retreating. We move our military according to security needs.”

“There was no attack on the airport in Tbilisi. It was a factory that produces combat airplanes,” said Yakobashvili referring to the attacks in the country’s capital.

“The whole world is starting to understand that what is happening here will determine the future of this region, the future price of crude oil, the future of central Asia, and the future of NATO,” the Georgian minister added.

According to him, “every bomb that falls over our heads is an attack on democracy, on the European Union and on America.”

Iran Rejects Deadline to Curb Nuclear Program

Just before the Saturday (Aug. 2) deadline set by an international body calling for the Islamic Republic of Iran to curb its nuclear program, Iran has issued a response in the form of its own proposal: more talks.[1]

The answer follows a July 19 meeting in Geneva at which the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany, led by European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana, gave Iran two weeks to stop enriching uranium in exchange for a package of incentives.

The incentives included providing Iran numerous political and trade benefits and as much nuclear energy as it needs for civilian uses. [2] In return, Iran would agree not to enlarge its uranium enrichment program for six weeks while it held talks about dismantling its nuclear program.[3]

But in an article published today (Thursday) by the government-run Fars News Agency, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Iran rejected both the deadline and the concept of a deadline. (more…)

Gates, the Pentagon Chief, Says “Never Fight Unless You Have To”

Then he goes on to explain why a war with Iran is virtually inescapable.

By Amir Oren

A war with Iran would be “disastrous on a number of levels,” according to U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

In an article appearing in the latest issue of Parameters, the U.S. Army War College quarterly, Gates wrote that with the army already bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan, “another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need” – despite the fact that Iran “supports terrorism,” is “a destabilizing force throughout the Middle East and Southwest Asia and, in my judgment, is hell-bent on acquiring nuclear weapons.” (more…)

Violence in Iraq has dropped sharply. Can we finally say we’re winning the war? Under what circumstances can the U.S. declare victory?

Something strange has happened. Instead of reporting on America’s situation in the world dishonestly, the major media have begun to report what’s happening more realistically. Here’s a fine example:

By David B. Rivkin

The situation in Iraq has improved dramatically as a result of the surge, innovative counterinsurgency tactics and improved outreach by U.S. forces to local elites. The level of violence is drastically reduced, and so is the U.S. casualty rate. Al Qaeda in Iraq is reeling. Its leadership has been decimated; its ability to mount major operations has been considerably reduced; and, according to Al Qaeda’s own internal communications, the terrorist organization is having serious trouble attracting and motivating new recruits. Further, Al Qaeda’s plans to create a state in Iraq’s Sunni heartland are in shambles, and its reputation for prowess in the jihad has suffered. That so many of Iraq’s Sunni tribes have allied themselves with U.S. forces in a movement dubbed the “Sunni Awakening” strikes a particularly severe blow to Al Qaeda’s attempt to pose as the champion of Sunni Islam.

It Wasn’t A Little Hate, It Wasn’t A Little Terror, We Weren’t Even Decimated

The definition of “decimate” was to kill ten percent of a population. Any war that involves the death of even five percent of a population is considered cataclysmic; it almost never happens.

Most wars kill tiny percentages of the entire population before the targeted society buckles under and yells “uncle.” That is one of the reasons that World War II was the exception. The 50 million dead was well within acceptable parameters for such a war, but the two-thirds of European Jewry who were killed, that was way out-of-bounds. Sure, there are many, like Rev. Jesse Jackson, who tired long ago of hearing about the Holocaust. He, and those like him, aren’t interested in the lessons learned from the past. Instead, they’re interested in shaking down corporate “clients,” boinking employees, and undermining disparaging all those they view as their competition. America was built on competition. It’s what makes our system strong and healthy. To hate those you compete with, or worse, to cut their balls off, is unAmerican. Jesse the Reverend, who doesn’t want to hear about the Holocaust, has lived a long and successful life despite his many mistakes, and his son who is still young has already carved out a place in the United States Congress and a high position on Barack Obama’s team. For these reasons, I feel it is important to remind Jesse’s son of a little known fact that I’m sure his father failed to teach him:

“It is estimated that over eighty percent of the Jewish scholars, rabbis, full-time Torah students alive in 1939 were dead by 1945.”

-from “World Jewry and the State of Israel” edited by Moshe Davis, the above quote is an excerpt from the chapter by Irving Greenberg.

Young Americans a film by Pat Dollard -Credit Sequence

When I saw some of the clips from Young Americans last year I was blown away.

(from an interview in Maxim, Nov. 2006) “Pat Dollard gave up a life of
luxury as a Hollywood agent for that of war journalist dodging bullets
and shrapnel along side Marines in Iraq. He did so you could see the
truth…his version of the truth.”

Heart Of Darkness
“I had about 15 employees, a wife, a daughter, and no one believed I
was going to lock horns with Al Qaeda, especially because my only
motivations was to keep more American civilians from dying, and to
honor those who were already risking their lives for that very reason.
Who does such a thing? But go I did, and like Kurtz, when i got back
from the first three months, sold the house, sold the car. Well not the
car. I love my H2. But I got out of the Hollywood agenting game, at a
cost of about 10,000,000 in future income.

Death Humvee

Photo of actual Humvee Pat Dollard was blown up in and badly wounded that night.

“Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of
myself. I landed for my first stint in Iraq in November 2004 armed
with a video camera instead of a weapon. I obtained a rare imbed
with the United States Marine Corps for a nonjournalistic private
citizen to make a documentary Young Americans.”

After a long wait by his supporters, Pat promises the film will be
released soon. His magnam opus Young Americans has also spurred
a website which is in my opinion, one of the best sites for news.
And around the site has developed a community of like minded, pro-
military folks. Look for the movie and support a serious effort to get
the truth about our troops and their mission into the general public.
You can feel the pulsating energy of the film in this credit sequence.
You want superheroes? This is the real deal.
