Media props up Obama economy cheats Americans, Financial markets react to Fed and lies, Millions drop out of labor force on food stamps and part time jobs, Big brother promises fail
“If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world but I am sure we would be getting reports from hell before breakfast.”… William Tecumseh Sherman
“the Times of the ninteenth of December had published the official forecasts of the output of various classes of consumption goods in the fourth quarter of 1983, which was also the sixth quarter of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. Today’s issue contained a statement of the actual output, from which it appeared that the forecasts were in every instance grossly wrong. Winston’s job was to rectify the original figures by making them agree with the later ones.”…George Orwell, “1984″
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”…George Orwell, “1984″
I read the financial reports every morning and shake my head. False optimism abounds.
Certainly designed to prop up the Obama economy.
Millions have dropped out of the labor force. Not as some of the media lies have explained but because they cannot find jobs.
A large portion of the jobs created have been part time jobs.
And food stamp usage has climbed to record levels.
The mainstream media is lying to the American public.

“10 Stories From The Cold, Hard Streets Of America That Will Break Your Heart”
“But if you listen to the mainstream media, you would think that happy days are here again for America. Just check out some of the bizarre headlines that I have collected in recent weeks…
CNBC: “Stop whining! The US economy is in good shape”
USA Today: “Economists: U.S. will see better growth in ’14”
Newsday: “Why the economy isn’t doomed”
Most Americans will buy into this propaganda and will never see the next major economic crisis coming until it is too late to do anything about it.”
#10 An excerpt from a heartbreaking letter that an unemployed woman named Paula Bray sent to Barack Obama…
Dear Mr. President,
I write to you today because I have nowhere else to turn. I lost my full time job in September 2012. I have only been able to find part-time employment — 16 hours each week at $12 per hour — but I don’t work that every week. For the month of December, my net pay was $365. My husband and I now live in an RV at a campground because of my job loss. Our monthly rent is $455 and that doesn’t include utilities. We were given this 27-ft. 1983 RV when I lost my job.
This is America today. We have no running water; we use a hose to fill jugs. We have no shower but the campground does. We have a toilet but it only works when the sewer line doesn’t freeze — if it freezes, we use the campground’s restrooms. At night, in my bed, when it’s cold out, my blanket can freeze to the wall of the RV. We don’t have a stove or an oven, just a microwave, so regular-food cooking is out. Recently we found a small toaster oven on sale so we can bake a little now because eating only microwaved food just wasn’t working for us. We don’t have a refrigerator, just an icebox (a block of ice cost about $1.89). It keeps things relatively cold. If it’s freezing outside, we just put things on the picnic table.
Sadly, this is just the beginning.
The economic despair that we are witnessing right now is just a taste of the horrible economic nightmare that is going to unfold in the United States during the coming years.
And already there are signs that things are starting to take another turn for the worse. In recent months, we have seen a whole host of retail chains announce store closings. In fact, one of my readers wrote to me the other day and told me about a home appliance chain known as “American TV” that is going out of business in the Midwest. When these stores shut down, close to another 1000 Americans will soon be out of work…
“While this is a sad moment it is also a proud moment. It’s a moment to be proud of our efforts and to be proud of what we have delivered to the community”, said Doug Reuhl, President and CEO of American since 1988. “Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are to our millions of loyal customers, and to the incredible, dedicated family of employees that we have been blessed with over our 60 years of business”.
Advanced notice of the business closing has been given to the 989 employees affected in eleven locations. Employees will be compensated, with benefits, through the notification period, and the majority will continue employment through the closing process.”

“The last time JPMorga had an investor day, Jamie Dimon explained to Mike Mayo why he is richer than him (and pretty much anyone else). This year, Jamie will be more focused on explaining to 8,000 JPM workers why after firing 16,500 people in consumer and mortgage banking, the bank will now let go another 2K and 6K in those same two groups (which will bring total mortgage and consumer banking headcount reductions between 2013 and 2014 to at least 17K and 7.5K, respectively).

“Among the core self-identified purposes of JTRIG are two tactics: (1) to inject all sorts of false material onto the internet in order to destroy the reputation of its targets; and (2) to use social sciences and other techniques to manipulate online discourse and activism to generate outcomes it considers desirable. To see how extremist these programs are, just consider the tactics they boast of using to achieve those ends: “false flag operations” (posting material to the internet and falsely attributing it to someone else), fake victim blog posts (pretending to be a victim of the individual whose reputation they want to destroy), and posting “negative information” on various forums”

“Glenn Beck”
“As some readers will recall, I have little if no respect for Glenn Beck. As reported here, Glenn has refused to openly challenge Obama’s eligibility per the United States Constitution. He has constantly hid, ridiculed, and avoided the truth concerning the fabricated and fairy tale past of Barack Obama.
Now in his latest rant Glenn Beck says the following
‘Time to Forget the United States…’: Beck Says the ‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America Has Already Happened
…
Wake up Glenn, this happened because you and your other media whores failed to do their job. …”

“Glen Beck, a reality check says your part of the problem”
“Glen Beck’s ranting about the ‘birthers’ has hit a low note again. The fact is that every time the issue of Barack Obama’s ineligibility surfaces into the news and it can’t be ignored, the media mouthpieces all come out of the closet and spew the same talking points as if on queue and competing for the same coveted media pageant title like Miss USA parading around in her swimsuit, spouting her version of world peace.
Glen Beck , or as I liken him to the false patriot and profiteer, that’s right false patriot.
Glen likes to surround himself with bastions of society that taut the law and United States Constitution, but only to the point where it doesn’t conflict with his views and selling points.
This weeks rant on the so called ‘birthers’ was his lasted diatribe into covering up for his inaction and denying the facts that have been sent to Glen numerous times by a multitude of people.
Glen Beck on his radio show stated the following; “Stop with the damn birth certificate! Stop! If you’re going to lose your country– we’re going to lose it on a birth certificate? You have a real opportunity to talk about American exceptionalism … instead you’re going to waste time on the birth certificate? You’re out of your mind if you think that is a winning argument for the next election. You’re out of your mind. You have to go fight the battle on the principles of America!””

Since we are pretty sure that Mr. Beck has an IQ above 85 there only can be a sinister motive for him to make this absurd statement today…Threatened? Cozying up to left media or cable companies to carry his channel? Friends in high places that are complicit and leaning on Beck try to put the Birther movement into a conspiracy box? I don’t know, but I do know that Beck is too smart to really believe what he said today…My reaction? Stop funding Beck by canceling my Blaze subscription…. – Tony.”

“A Closer Look at Lang’s Photos”
Last week here at CW’s site, I predicted that after the Olympics were over that RUSSIA would move, WITH FORCE, against the UKRAINE uprising…..
Well it’s happening right now…
Today it’s being reported that RUSSIAN TANKS are being massed and now moving against SEVASTOPOL, UKRINE……
It reminds me of the Hungarian revolution of 56, where the people of Hungry were crying for help and the world stood by…..with their collective fingers up their Ass*s ..
The world stood by and watched as the Russian tanks slaughtered thousands of citizens, and destroy any semblance of freedom in that country…now we have “da ja vou”…all over again in the Ukraine….again we will watch.
But, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this revolt out…..the Russians need the seaports for their navy that that country offered….and they will not be denied this vital link to the outside world.
Now I will further predict the RUSSIANS will move quickly inside the UKRINE and crush, with whatever force it may require, any and all resistance to their presence there….the world will remain silent, except maybe a little puffing of the chest by Obey….who started this mess in the first place..
Meanwhile….Obey will go golfing.
Finally, I will also predict the free world, NATO, the EU, and the UN will do nothing to stop it……these are useless organizations to protect any country seeking freedom…that has been proven over and over.
Now ….I will put away my crystal ball for the day.
As the world burns around us….Chuck Hagel Calls for a DRAMATIC REDUCTION IN OUR ARMED FORCES……
Go figure …..has America run up the white flag?
My post at 10:27am was taken from a foreign press release…which may, or may not be true…..
but I would think if Russia was going to move against the Ukraine with tanks, , it would be coming from the north sweeping to the south…and not from the seaport of Sevastopol……
but after all that’s where the Russian ships are located.
GORDO — You may have read some of my posts in the past. Beck and other Conservative radio talk show hosts feel it their patriotic duty to discredit the “birther issue” because the CIA as vouched for Obama as being a natural born citizen. The CIA has an extensive PR arm. Obama worked for the agency. It paid for his Harvard education. His personal records are classified. Who is going to challenge this and call the CIA out on the carpet? Maybe someone like Breitbart, who ends up dead?
Just my point of view: Our intelligence agencies, like the rest of the Federal Government are out of control. Congress has abdicated its oversight role. The agency empire building that went on during the Cold War without checks and balances and adequate oversight, as led to this. This created a 5th arm of government–a secret arm with vast potential for abuse. Unless this is checked and brought down, we have lost our republic.
(For some reason “h” is not always printing on my screen and “has” is coming across as “as.” Maybe I’m typing too fast. Sorry.)
One last point: Radio talk show people are all ultimately unreliable as none I know of have taken up or really covered the “birther issue.” They all pooh pooh it away. They justify to themselves, I’m sure. Bottom line: they are cowards.
DEAM M..
You said at 12:07pm, ” Our intelligence agencies, like the rest of the Federal Government are out of control. Congress has abdicated its oversight role”…
You are so right my friend…….but it didn’t just happen yesterday…it has been going on for some time now…the American people are just now waking up to the reality that we have a non elected “Shadow Government” calling the shots.
Everything sitting in Congress and the White House is just for show !
DEAN M.
I meant to mention in my last post to you about a book that I am just finishing up on.
The title is, “Self-Portrait of a Scoundrel”, sub titled; “A memoir of Spooks, Hoods, and the Hidden Elite”. This book gives names , places and events in documented detail of CIA and Mafia activities for almost 30 years. .
It’s the story of Chauncey Holt, who started out as a bookkeeper and bean counter for Meyer Lansky, the big-time Mafia boss in out of Miami who was deeply involved in Cuban crime and was perhaps the most famous figure of organized crime, other than Big Al Capone…
After a short period, Lansky loaned Chauncey to the CIA during the operations leading up to and including the Bay of Pigs…from then on , Chauncey worked for both the organized crime rings and the CIA, both at the same time.
It was amazing to me as to just how intertwined the activities of organized crime and the Central Intelligence Agency was…and still is !
Holt confessed that he supplied the weapons used in the assignation of JFK and played a support role in that operation. He was “the hobo that America saw on national television being lead off for questioning” after the killing.
Holt admits he did not pull the trigger, and he confesses that he does not know exactly who did, but he said that THREE teams were involved.
He says that he did not know who killed Kennedy, but he knows who didn’t….and that was Lee Harvey Oswald…..who was just a minor, expendable CIA and FBI asset, according to Holt.
After Holt’s involvement in the JFK thing, he moved to Calf, still worked for organized crime and the CIA and took on a different role there…he played nursemaid to the screen personalities…along with still being an “enforcer” for the mob….
He openly hinted that he had pulled the trigger on the “Bugsy” Siegel killing in Las Vegas, on orders from Meyer Lansky….
Chauncey was also an experienced pilot who knew all the CIA connections of Air America, Southeaster Airlines, and many more CIA operations operating in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Burma and all of the southeast…..
The book is over 500 pages with documents proving what he says…He did not release this information until one week before he died….
The book was written by a Dutchman by the name of Wem Dankaar, who spent over 10 years researching and cataloging documents in the book….it is troubling that it took a foreign writer to tell the story that all the world knows , other than the people in America…..who still accept with blind faith that the Warren Commission is the FINAL word on the JFK killing.
I came across a very interesting comment in the early introductory pages of the book. , it was a statement made by the late comedian, Bill Hicks in reference to still talking about the JFK killing….Hicks said, “If the Kennedy assignation was too long ago, then stop talking to me about Jesus”.
The killing of Kennedy is more important today than ever before… what is happening today is a by- product and the grounds for our un-Constitution government of today.
We now are the end results of our earlier lawless years of “cowboy politics”….
There is a companion video that goes with the book called; “CROOKS, SPOOKS, and JFK”…..it is 2 hours of very interesting detail…..
So there you have it….IF YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AGAIN, BE PREPARED FOR A RIDE WITH A LOT OF TWIST AND TURNS….this book is a page turner that’s hard to put down….
One thing you will get out of reading it will be closer to the REAL truth than ever before……if the REAL truth is what you are seeking.
The “Before Obama” and “After Obama” history lesson for school children…
They say a picture is worth a thousand words…
Here’s a picture of Benjamin Netanyahu and Barry Soetoro (aka Obama) in their early twenties…which would you like for your child to emulate?

It simply won’t work……..
Trying to control the weapons of the “free people” of Conn… will be like “trying to round up a herd of 5000 cats”..”all going in 5000 different directions pooping on every thing in their path”..
Put another way, it would be like “putting windshield wipers on a Billy Goat’s A**..” .and expect not to have “any blow back” from the Billy Goat.
What happens when the threat period comes and go’s?….Does the brown shoe Gestapo goons go from house to house executing those who did not comply?
I think some idiot just opened a can of worms in Conn…that will surely be a gigantic failure with all those in charge losing the elected positions in the next election…or before !..
RMinNC — Thanks for the tip on the book. Air America tried to recruit me in Viet Nam (1972). CIA was running the war. I was trained by the Army in the language (Vietnamese). Your’re right, it has been going on a long, long time. Even under Reagan some really bad, illegal things were going on behind the scenes. As for Kennedy–that, too. Some day, it has all got to bust loose. I guess that’s what everyone is afraid of. There is an element of blackmail going on. Obama has the country by the gonads: “If you tell on me, I’ll tell on you.”etc.
I saw this quote over at “Give Us Liberty” and thought it was worthy of passing on for everyone’s enjoyment tonight……
John Kerry is as phony then his C in C which he lovingly adores and “brown noses” all the time…..they are cut from the same cloth. Here’s the quote:
“THE PHONY SHRAPNEL WOUND TO JOHN KERRY’S AS* HAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED HIM SOME SEVERE LASTING BRAIN DAMAGE”
Being from that generation and knowing full well that in Kerry’s short 3 1/2 month tour in Vietnam that he wrote up his own medal citations and faked his shrapnel wound in order to get a phony Purple Heart to go with his phony Silver Star…..I will always remember this quote…because it’s so true and…
It’s priceless !
My Chief of Staff (wife) just said to “get off the computer, Trooper” and take her to dinner….when the Chief speaks, …the Indians listen..

Good evening. I believe the idiot law makers, that asked for gun registration in Connecticut, thought the Citizens would just roll over and comply, after the Sandy Hook incident. Now those same idiots, are experiencing dose of good old American defiance, just like the King of England did. We all know what happened after that.
Idiots, it’s your move now!
Folks,
After today’s Governor meeting, the vast majority of them need to put Obama in his place, expose this bastard dictator once and for all.
“Rick Perry admitted at the RGA today that he was very troubled by Obama’s tone today addressing the National Governors Association:
I don’t mind telling you I was a bit troubled today by the tone of the president. …For the president of the United States to look Democrat and Republican governors in the eye and to say ‘I do not trust you to make decisions in your state about issues of education, about transportation infrastructure…’ – that is really troubling.”
..” As a matter of fact he said in that meeting “if I hear any of you pushing back, making statements about Washington spends too much money, you’ll hear from me.”
Couple with the FCC threats, this is reaching its height of arrogance, tyranny and about to come to a Head. Soon.

RMinNC — If you haven’t read it, another book you might find of interest is Ian Johnson’s A MOSQUE IN MUNICH: NAZIS, CIA & RISE OF THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD. Johnson’s contention is the CIA is responsible for the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood in our time. The CIA took over the Nazi effort to cultivate Muslims in the fight against Communism after WWII. As a result, there has been an alliance between the CIA and the Muslim Brotherhood, which got a lot of its support both arms and money from the US via the CIA.

The Conservatives in Talk Radio (Rush, Beck, Levin, Hannity, etc.) are the loyal opposition to Obama. He is legit. How dare we peons question his birth certificate! They are afraid in more ways than one. They justify their fear instead of standing for the truth. That is why I call them cowards. Notice how upset they all get whenever the birther issue gets past their call screeners.

…
The police are calling this an “attempted robbery”. However, there is video available where you can decide for yourself […] which was broadcast on local Philadelphia ABC channel.
…
The friend thinks it was attempted murder.
The friend, Mr. Williams, also happens to be black.
It’s obvious to both Mr. Williams, and any non-PC infected observer, this was not a botched robbery. WATCH THE VIDEO However, the PC infected police department just cannot allow the truth to be discussed.”

SB 1062 was a bill giving the right to business owners to refuse service to gays on religious grounds….of course the DOJ is putting all kinds of pressure on Brewer to VETO this…..which I think she will..
When and if she VETO’s this bill, she can kiss her political future goodbye in the state of Arizona….those good people have had just about all of Brewer’s double take/double speak as they intend to tolerate…..remember when she Vetoed the bill on questioning Obama’s qualifications for president…..a lot of people remember that one.

Police Charge Child With Felony After Throwing A Snowball

WARNING…WARNING….this post could SAVE you thousands of Dollars…in medical bills

How to Avoid the “Two Words” that Cost Thousands in Medicare Bills
By Kate Snow
It’s not something they teach doctors in medical school. And it’s probably not something you’d know to look for if you were suddenly rushed to the hospital in an emergency. But when a doctor decides to write the words “UNDER OBSERVATION” on a Medicare patient’s chart, it can have lasting consequences.
Those two little words can be the difference between spending thousands of dollars out of your own pocket and having Medicare cover the entire bill.
Brenda Kelley-Nelum was driving her husband Al ‘Doc’ Nelum to an appointment when he started having symptoms of a stroke. An ambulance took him to the nearest hospital with a stroke clinic. Hours later they were still there, waiting on test results, when someone mentioned her husband had been put “on observation status”.
As an advocate for seniors in Virginia, Kelley-Nelum had a vague recollection that she’d heard that term before. And it wasn’t good.
“I was really frightened about what’s wrong with my husband. And then they came up with this “observation status” and I questioned why?” Kelley-Nelum said.
She was right to worry.
As it turned out, her husband would go on to a nursing facility for rehabilitation, at a cost of about $22,000. Medicare pays for rehab only for people admitted to a hospital for three or more days as “inpatients.”
Medicare will not pay for rehab if they were classified as “observation status” when they received treatment at the hospital.
Kelley-Nelum did what advocates advise anyone on Medicare to do. She found out how her husband was classified and asked if he might need rehab later. Then she spoke up — loudly. She asked so many questions, she said, the doctors grew tired and sent in someone from hospital administration. That person relented and changed Doc Nelum’s status to “inpatient.”
His entire $22,000 bill was ultimately covered by Medicare.
Kelley-Nelum says her husband is lucky she was there.
“If I had not been there my husband probably would have accepted the “observation status” … on face value.”
———————————————————————————————-s BEWARE…IF YOUR DOCTOR TELLS YOU THAT HE IS GOING TO PLACE YOU IN AN “OBSERVATION STATUS”……BE PREPARED TO FIGHT IT…OR BE PREPARED TO PAY A BIG MEDDICAL BILL THAT IS NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE…
I will next post a video of this showing what you should do to prevent this should you encounter such a situation..

With those three Republican state senators joining all 13 state Senate Democrats in opposition, there would be enough votes to defeat the measure in a re-vote Tuesday.
The state lawmakers have joined forces with both U.S. senators from Arizona, Republicans John McCain and Jeff Flake, who have urged Brewer to veto the measure.

“With major events approaching in the coming year, including Super Bowl XLIX, Arizona will be the center of the world’s stage,” the group said in a letter to the governor. “This legislation has the potential of subjecting the Super Bowl, and major events surrounding it, to the threats of boycotts.”

The militant gay lobby in America has become so strong that they are using a form of extortion to get their way and force businesses to serve them regardless of the personal religious convictions of the owners.
(One definition of extortion is, “forcing someone into giving you something through threats.”) This is just the beginning. Wait until they apply for jobs in evangelical churches. Then what?

Well, with the lawlessness of this administration, then one could honestly ask the question, “Do I have to obey laws I disagree with?” He is setting the stage for revolt. Maybe that’s the intention?
IRS Warns: Obamacare Tax Must Be Paid with Tax Return
Agency employs Orwellian term “Shared Responsibility Payment” to describe Obamacare individual mandate tax.
President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service today quietly released a series of Obamacare “Health Care Tax Tips” warning Americans that they must obtain “qualifying” health insurance – as defined by the federal government – or face a “shared responsibility payment” when filing their tax returns in 2015. The term “shared responsibility payment” refers to the Obamacare individual mandate tax, one of at least seven tax hikes in the healthcare law that directly hit families making less than $250,000 per year.
In “Four Tax Facts about the Health Care Law for Individuals” the agency writes:
Your 2014 tax return will ask if you had insurance coverage or qualified for an exemption. If not, you may owe a shared responsibility payment when you file in 2015.
In “The Individual Shared Responsibility Payment- An Overview” the agency warns Americans they must prove they were covered each and every month of the year:
For any month in 2014 that you or any of your dependents don’t maintain coverage and don’t qualify for an exemption, you will need to make an individual shared responsibility payment with your 2014 tax return filed in 2015.
In “IRS Reminds Individuals of Health Care Choices for 2014”the agency details the calculations Americans can look forward to if they are liable for the tax:
If you (or any of your dependents) do not maintain coverage and do not qualify for an exemption, you will need to make an individual shared responsibility payment with your return. In general, the payment amount is either a percentage of your household income or a flat dollar amount, whichever is greater. You will owe 1/12th of the annual payment for each month you (or your dependents) do not have coverage and are not exempt. The annual payment amount for 2014 is the greater of:
•1 percent of your household income that is above the tax return filing threshold for your filing status, such as Married Filing Jointly or single, or
•Your family’s flat dollar amount, which is $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, limited to a maximum of $285.
