Free speech? Conservative meeting crashed by cops ~ By Barbara Simpson

Barbara Simpson sounds off on Breitbart meetup forced to disperse

Then there was the incident in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale, where a group of conservatives was meeting quietly in a restaurant when, suddenly, the place was surrounded by cops and squad cars and choppers and spotlights and a loudspeaker demanding that people disperse.

Needless to say, that broke up the meeting, which, by the way, had broken no laws and had disturbed no peace. No one was cited, but the meeting was effectively ended.

You heard about that, didn’t you?

This may be the most profound thing I've written about, so please pay close attention! Barbara Simpson provided THE best ammo that I could ever ask for!

I knew that I'd see it happen someday, but it happened much sooner than I thought it would. It's starting. Dissent is being silenced with sheer force.

It's starting with the small little groups, which gives me the greatest concern. Why? It is because the small little groups do not have the power of the press (not even Breitbart... remember what happened to Andrew?) or mainstream politicians to be defended, regardless of the most egregious treatment, by force, when they try to exercise their Constitutional rights of free speech. For right now, nobody cares. But really, believe me, they SHOULD care! They're NEXT! Just sayin'...

Free speech? Conservative meeting crashed by cops

You heard, didn't you, about the kid who devised what he called a clock but which looked, for all intents and purposes, like a bomb? He took the contraption to school and scared the wits out of a teacher who reported it and the you-know-what hit the fan. He insisted it was just something he invented…

WIFLI Briefing for May 20, 2012 - Going Public!

Yes, Friday's big news in the mainstream media is Facebook's initial public offering (IPO). Yes, it's finally happening, Facebook has gone public. However, that isn't what I needed to direct your attention to today. I'm not going to promote gambling here!  No, uh-uh!

In fact, I'm going to place a warning sign along the way like the ones that warn drivers of an upcoming construction site, traffic lanes will be reduced, and that caution and a much slower speed need to be adhered to. With this IPO, the last thing you want to do is get stuck in a bubble that could burst long before you have a chance to dump your stock in Facebook. Here's a video that makes my point:

Video provided by WSJDigitalNetwork on May 3, 2012

That is why I'm doing something so weird today. This might just shock you to see me posting a blog so soon after the last post. That is almost as rare as seeing the Chicago Cubs win more than two games in a row!

There were at least two other stories that caught my attention Friday. They both had to do with "going public." I had to take advantage of the situation, just so I could sneak in these stories on a Sunday, when nobody is watching. They call that, "UNDER the RADAR," I think.

Well, there you go. What else do we do with stories that deal with President George W. Bush's rare public commentary and the issue of "Obama's eligibility" appearing on Breitbart.com?

That's a good question, and I think I can give you the correct answer: Read the stories carefully, and don't be afraid to ask some questions. I don't know about you, but it is getting where what you read on the internet needs thorough investigation before accepting it 100% - i.e., lock, stock and barrel.

It doesn't matter if what you read in the mainstream media, or anywhere else, is 75% true or a total lie. Any kind of omission of facts is no better than a total fabrication. When you are not provided with all of the pieces of a puzzle, you should be warned; you are probably being manipulated, just so that you don't see the big picture.

Being that the content in this WIFLI Briefing is relatively very limited, you should have plenty of time to soak in the information, seek verification, and formulate your opinions. But remember, it's probably not a good idea to be "Going Public" with your opinions or news stories until you have ALL of facts to back you up.

Don't even write off the "birther" issue; not just yet. You never know when a news source, even if it's Breitbart.com and not one of the "mainstream outlets," exposes a new twist in the story.

The moral of the story is that not everything that "goes public" should be accepted as the complete, truthful story. But, at the very least, try to fit in one more puzzle piece in order to get the big picture.

Update, May 25, 2012:
Facebook, banks sued over pre-IPO analyst calls...Reuters...published May 23, 2012

It kind of makes my point, doesn't it?

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

I'm very impressed by the ideals that our former President endorsed in this column. But do I believe it is the reality that we face now? No, I don't. I am afraid that regardless of the tyrant, and the associated oppression of Arabs in those Middle East Muslim countries, the lack of freedom will still greet a large proportion of the population in those societies.

When the former President states that, "We only get to choose what side we are on," he was correct. However, are any of the alternative choices any better than what exists now? How are we going to determine which side to choose when neither side actually allows freedom?

George W. Bush: The Arab Spring and American Ideals
We do not get to choose if a freedom revolution should begin or end in the Middle East or elsewhere. We only get to choose what side we are on.
From The Wall Street Journal OPINION ~ By George W. Bush ~ Posted May 17, 2012, 6:56 p.m. ET

These are extraordinary times in the history of freedom. In the Arab Spring, we have seen the broadest challenge to authoritarian rule since the collapse of Soviet communism. The idea that Arab peoples are somehow content with oppression has been discredited forever.

Yet we have also seen instability, uncertainty and the revenge of brutal rulers. The collapse of an old order can unleash resentments and power struggles that a new order is not yet prepared to handle.

Some in both parties in Washington look at the risks inherent in democratic change—particularly in the Middle East and North Africa—and find the dangers too great. America, they argue, should be content with supporting the flawed leaders they know in the name of stability.

But in the long run, this foreign policy approach is not realistic. It is not within the power of America to indefinitely preserve the old order, which is inherently unstable. Oppressive governments distrust the diffusion of choice and power, choking off the best source of national prosperity and success.

This is the inbuilt crisis of tyranny. It fears and fights the very human attributes that make a nation great: creativity, enterprise and responsibility. Dictators can maintain power for a time by feeding resentments toward enemies—internal or external, real or imagined. But eventually, in societies of scarcity and mediocrity, their failure becomes evident.

A valid complaint has been made in the last few years by the Conservative side of politics is that Barack Hussein Obama was not properly vetted by those in the mainstream media prior to the 2008 election. While there were a few out there like Joseph Farah and Jerome Corsi at WND.com that brought up the birth certificate and Constitutional eligibility, many of the most Conservative talk-radio show hosts, and Fox News Channel, wouldn't touch it.

Following a story put out on Breitbart.com which you can see below, additional commentary and thought became part of some of the most popular radio shows. Both Glenn Beck and Joe Pagliarulo (on The Weekend), dedicated a major portion of their shows to discuss the Breitbart.com story.

Here is the story about the story: What Breitbart.com went public with is enough to make a lot of people become a little more curious about this situation. I know for a fact that when I posted stories in the past that i found on WorldNetDaily, now known as WND.com, the story got a lot of heat from the critics in the mainstream media as well as from the Conservative pundits.

At some point, the historians will be forced to deal with these events that may someday be known as "Birthergate." And I hope the historians will still be able to view and share the video you will see below:

The Vetting - Exclusive - Obama's Literary Agent in 1991 Booklet: 'Born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii'
From Breitbart.com ~ By Joel B. Pollak ~ Published May 18, 2012

Note from Senior Management [at Breitbart.com]:

ANDREW BREITBART

Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.


Yet Andrew also believed that the complicit mainstream media had refused to examine President Obama's ideological past, or the carefully crafted persona he and his advisers had constructed for him.


It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences.


It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet described below--one that includes a marketing pitch for a forthcoming book by a then-young, otherwise unknown former president of the Harvard Law Review.


It is evidence--not of the President's foreign origin, but that Barack Obama's public persona has perhaps been presented differently at different times.

***

Breitbart News has obtained a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by Barack Obama's then-literary agency, Acton & Dystel, which touts Obama as "born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii."

WIFLI Briefing for May 9, 2012 - There's Still Hope For Change!

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

FAIR USE NOTICE: This edition of the Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing may contain copyrighted material. Such material is made available for educational purposes only. This constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Title 17 U.S.C. section 106A-117 of the U.S. Copyright Law.

There was an event on my way to work the other night that had some influence on how I presented this WIFLI Briefing. I almost bought the farm when I missed seeing a sign that said the left TWO lanes would be closed ahead. When I arrived at those pylons in the middle of the lane I was in, I was forced to swerve into the right lane. At that point, all I saw were the dead bugs on the headlights and grill of that big semi in my rear view mirror. Fortunately, I didn't cause a major accident. I was spared.

And I was inspired in the last few days to begin wondering if something could happen to me for sharing the stories and commentaries here in the briefing. Thoughts of Andrew Breitbart came to my mind. Not to the point of psychotic paranoia, but I do realize that what I've written about might upset people in high places that would want me silenced.

Seriously, I am well aware of the fact that I don't need to be silenced in a way that has fatal consequences. (And I know that I'm not that important in the way of being an information warrior like Breitbart was.) But could I face other situations that would slow me down or even crush my efforts for awhile? Most definitely, as my buddy Phil Elmore wrote last week:

Liberals adore the idea of silencing dissent. To this end, and because they believe they hold the moral high ground when contending with heartless, selfish, benighted conservatives, liberals will use a combination of intimidation, threats and dishonesty to destroy or remove any and all critics.

The Obama administration has tried several times to exploit this tendency among its more ardent followers. There was the White House email hotline, flag@whitehouse.gov; there was the running joke that was “AttackWatch” and its Twitter account; more recently, Obama’s flacks have been pushing the Orwellian “Truth Team.” Liberals are also abusing Twitter’s spam-reporting system to trigger automatic blocking of conservative Twitter accounts.

Yup, been there, had that done to me, when my youtube account was terminated last year, thanks to anonymous complaints. I really had it going, and somebody didn't like my success (over 4 million views of my 1300+ videos).

Yet, I keep on trucking. So what keeps me going? Another "Ralphism" as I now call them. It happened that just today, Ralph Marston wrote another Daily Motivator that seems so relevant to today's theme to this WIFLI Briefing (There's Still Hope For Change!):

When life hands you a negative experience, respond with a positive action. Instead of letting the difficult circumstances pull you down, choose to let them inspire you.

Sure, it’s easy to become dismayed. Yet the truly empowering fact is that it’s just as easy to become determined.

Your attitude is always your choice. So you might as well choose the attitude that will serve you the very best.

Allen West to Conservatives: ‘You Must Be Like Sharks That Smell Blood In the Water & You Must Attack’
From THEBLAZE ~ by Billy Hallowell ~ Published May 7, 2012 at 7:15 a.m.

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) is known for his fiery — and fearless — commentary. In a speech he delivered to the Broward Republican Executive Committee in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the congressman delved into many of the challenges facing the nation. He encouraged the audience to “fight back against…liberal progressivism” and he accused those on the left of attempting to create fear and separation among Americans.

Rep. Allen West (R-FL)

West commenced the speech by speaking about some of the protesters who had assembled outside of his address at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six Fort, referring to them as “chuckleheads.”

“A chucklehead is a person who is so inept and incompetent that all you can do is look at them and laugh,” West said.

But he didn’t spend long describing his detractors, as he moved on to the economy and some of the progressive values he believes are dangerous to the nation’s survival.

“This is a moral discussion we’ve having in this country, because we‘re talking about what we’re going to leave for our children and grandchildren,” West said, going on to share his feelings about American liberals. ”I feel sorry for them because for whatever reason they don’t know the essence of the greatness of the United States of America.”

Obama launches campaign in empty arena
Organizers even had people move to floor to project larger crowd
Via WND ~ From Breitbart.com ~ By Alexander Marlow ~ May 6, 2012

Barack Obama launched his campaign in unspectacular fashion today at Ohio State University, the largest college in the crucial swing state. A photo posted to twitter by Mitt Romney's campaign spokesman Ryan Williams reveals sparse attendance. The [image below], according to Williams, was taken during the President's first official campaign speech.

During the speech, Obama ripped into the presumptive GOP nominee and discussed nation building at home, but the most newsworthy item of the day was not the talking points Obama delivered: it was the crowd... or lack thereof. According to ABC News, the Obama campaign had expected an "overflow" of people. Instead, the arena looked half-empty. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Obama organizers even had people move from the seats to the floor of the gym in order to project a larger crowd on television.

Back on March 1, 2012, I unfortunately needed to write a Special Edition for the WIFLI Briefing. Here is what I wrote at that time:

The news hit me very hard. The things that Andrew had worked on in the last few years were fearless. He was a courageous patriot that exposed the corruption in government. Andrew understood that Americans needed to know what is really going on. He exposed ACORN back in 2009, with the help of undercover videographers James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles.

I'm was speaking of Andrew Breitbart, who had suddenly passed away. There was a great amount of sorrow in the hearts of many people that knew Andrew personally, and those of us that knew who Andrew was and what he had accomplished.

However, Andrew was a terrible thorn in the side of many people because of the corruption that he managed to expose. The result was that there were a few people that considered Andrew as a dangerous enemy. Once the story broke that Andrew had passed away so suddenly, there were immediate suspicions that his death was not due to natural causes. There were plenty of reasons for people to have these suspicions, but no evidence had been available that could substantiate concerns that Andrew Breitbart was murdered, until now...

In the next three explosive stories that I am including in this edition, you will find out that there are some very peculiar circumstances surrounding the death of Andrew Breitbart. I don't believe that there is tangible physical evidence that would be enough for a grand jury to indict any individuals or uncover a large conspiracy plot, but it may be enough for you to believe and agree that something's not right.

Breitbart's coroner poisoned to death?
Police probe mysterious demise of L.A. medical examiner
From WND U.S. ~ By Joe Kovacs ~ Published April 29, 2012 at 10:15 PM

Medical examiners in Los Angeles are investigating the possible poisoning death of one of their own officials who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand who died March 1, the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced probable cause for forgery in President Obama’s birth certificate.

Michael Cormier, a respected forensic technician for the Los Angeles County Coroner died under suspicious circumstances at his North Hollywood home April 20, the same day Breitbart’s cause of death was finally made public.

“There are mysterious circumstances surrounding his death,” said Elizabeth Espinosa, a news reporter for KTLA-TV. “We’re told detectives are looking into the possibility that he was poisoned by arsenic.”

Michael Cormier

Cormier, 61, had been rushed to Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank after complaining of pain and vomiting.

“He was transported there early in the morning, and passed away late at night,” Ed Winter, assistant chief of operations and Cormier’s colleague at the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, told KTLA. “It affects everybody when you lose a co-worker, but we’ll proceed and do our job and try to figure out why Michael died.”

The hospital then notified Los Angeles Police about Cormier’s death.

“At this point we haven’t ruled out foul play,” police Lt. Alan Hamilton told the Los Angeles Times. “It is one of the things being considered. We are waiting for the coroner’s results.”

Now a witness to Breitbart's death vanishes
Follows suspicious demise of member of coroner's team
From WND ~ By Jerome Corsi ~ Published May 7, 2012

JEROME CORSI

A private investigator has been unable to find the only eyewitness to the sudden death of media innovator and conservative activist Andrew Breitbart.

The apparent disappearance of Christopher Lasseter, who says he saw Breitbart drop to the sidewalk in front of a restaurant, adds to the mystery surrounding Breitbart’s March 1 death.

On the day the Los Angeles County coroner released Breitbart’s autopsy report, a photographic technician at the coroner’s office died suddenly of suspicious causes.

In addition, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., just three weeks before Breitbart’s death – where he promised to unveil “damning” new video evidence of Barack Obama’s radical past that would change the election – Breitbart gave WND details of his upcoming revelations.

He claimed to WND that he had a video showing radical Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Barack Obama at Harvard planning revolution in the United States. But the video, aired just after he died, was of Obama introducing a radical Harvard professor, and the general response was flat.

Filmmaker Steve Bannon, appointed executive chairman of the Breitbart News Network after Breitbart’s death, has insisted to WND that the media mogul died of natural causes and to suggest anything else is irresponsible.

~~~ READ MORE ~~~

After reading Mr. Corsi's column, we may wonder if there is anything to the disappearance of "the witness" or the sudden death of the coroner, who turned out to only be a photographer for the Los Angeles Medical Examiner's office. Could the timing of these various "incidents" just be a strange coincidence? You decide.

Connect The Dots: Andrew Breitbart Was Murdered
From Before It's News ~ Published May 04, 2012 at 12:12

This revelation just came across the transom from the Minuteman PAC. Was Andrew Breitbart ASSASSINATED and his coroner POISONED TO DEATH? Is it possible that Andrew Breitbart – who died the same day Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced ‘probable cause’ and who was about to interview Sheriff Joe and share the Cold Case Posse investigation with world news outlets – was assassinated?

Is it possible that the coroner who may have worked on the case of Andrew Breitbart was likewise assassinated THE SAME DAY Breitbart’s cause of death was made public? Was Andrew Breitbart murdered by Obama and his thug Chicago-machine for not conforming to the radicals’ “Hope and Change” progressive agenda or staying mum on the eligibility investigation? The suspicious timing of the death of Andrew Breitbart's coroner has opened a new chapter in threats made against the Cold Case Posse investigation and anyone remotely connected or involved with it.

Herman Cain: "There is no excuse for anyone to buy it again in 2012"
From WND Commentary ~ By Herman Cain ~ Published May 6, 2012

HERMAN CAIN

Remember when Democrats, including a certain senator named Barack Obama, used to scream that President George W. Bush was abusing his executive powers?

Those were the good old days!

Since becoming president, Obama has turned the abuse of executive power into a high art form – especially since Republicans took control of the House of Representatives and rendered him incapable of getting the most extreme elements of his left-wing agenda through Congress.

Obama is especially brazen in his use of executive orders, and, most astonishingly, he makes no bones about the fact that he does so – telling a gathering in Las Vegas last October, “We can’t wait for an increasingly dysfunctional Congress to do its job. Where they won’t act, I will.”

In Obamaspeak, “dysfunctional” is a euphemism for “won’t give me everything I want.” So what are the big emergencies that require Obama to act on his own without congressional approval?

WIFLI Briefing for Apr 24, 2012 - If I Wanted America to Fail

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I borrowed the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

This constitutes a 'fair use' of any such copyrighted material as provided for in Title 17 U.S.C. section 106A-117 of the U.S. Copyright Law.

In this extremely important issue, you are about to become clearly aware of what we face in our near future should the enemies of freedom - GOLIATH - prevail. You will also learn that there are solutions, and there are many DAVIDs out there that are willing to take on that GOLIATH.

We remember Andrew Breitbart. He was not alone. Neither is Herman Cain. Neither are you or I.  There were many of us in the Tea Party that may have felt small on our own, but we soon realized that we weren't alone.  There was no reason to be afraid. We the People (DAVID) collectively gathered and helped to make things much more difficult for Obama to do by getting the GOP back in control of the House of Representatives in 2010. We at least slowed GOLIATH down a little.

It just happened that while watching "The Five" on Fox News on Monday (4/23/12), I happened to see a video that inspired me to get this issue published ASAP! And the video that caught my attention - If I Wanted America to Fail - is a true wake-up call.  We have a lot of work to do before November 6, 2012.

If I wanted America to fail, I would do nothing. However, I'll be happy to be somebody like George Bailey (DAVID) going up against the evil Mr. Potter (GOLIATH) like we saw in that tremendous classic film, "It's a Wonderful Life."

Watch the videos you will see below, and then decide if there is anything you and I can do.  I'm in complete agreement with what Herman Cain wrote in his column, "An army of Davids," especially that: "We the People must be an army of Davids to take our liberties back from Goliath."

What we must do was summarized exquisitely by Ralph Marston almost ten years ago!

No matter how much you push against the darkness it will not go anywhere. Yet the moment you shine your light, the darkness is no more. When you fight against your problems, all it usually accomplishes is to make them stronger and give them more validity. Instead, seek to transform those problems, those difficult situations, by virtue of your own positive values and efforts.

Rather than struggling against the situation, give the best you have to it. Rather than fighting darkness with more darkness, transform that darkness by letting your light shine.

— Ralph Marston, Light the darkness, Thursday, July 18, 2002

Quoting from Herman Cain's column once again, let's remember how We the People - the Army of DAVIDs - can light the darkness:

"We have more than one stone and a sling shot. We have the right and responsibility to vote, the power of the Internet and the power of the people. But we have to use that power wisely and collectively to stop the erosion of our liberties."

Seriously, I'm clinging to the hope that the videos that you'll see below will help you realize how close we could be right now to losing our liberty. I hope that thought terrifies you, as it should. And last, I hope that you will help to light the darkness in anyway that you can, even it is just by sharing this publication with your friends in the social media. I'm just sayin'...

An army of Davids
Exclusive: Herman Cain asks, 'Are we asleep, or just plain dumb and stupid?'
From WND Commentary ~ By Herman Cain ~ Published Apr 22, 2012

HERMAN CAIN

It’s tough being the underdog in any fight. But if a group of underdogs get together and work together, they can win. That’s the American people up against big government. We the People are fighting the political class.

The federal government has become too big, too bureaucratic and too controlling of our everyday lives, and it wants to control us even more every day, with every session of Congress. As a result, We the People are losing more and more of our liberties every day.

This administration is trying to tell us which cars to drive, which light bulbs to buy, what foods to eat, where not to take a vacation, how much health care we can have, what to believe, who to believe, how to live, how to spend our money, when to die, where to build a new plant for a business and what fairness ought to be – using our money!

Are we asleep, or just plain dumb and stupid?

Fairness is the liberty to make decisions about our lives and our money. But this administration is doing everything it can to take away our liberties with government mandates and income redistribution gimmicks like the Buffet Rule.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Tuesday, Mar 13, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing!

What is WIFLI?
You may be wondering what the acronym "WIFLI" means. I started out by calling these issues the Time 2 Escape Daily, but that didn't work out very well. I quickly learned that putting these issues together on a daily basis was a task I was unable to accomplish. To replace "Daily" in the title, I coined the acronym WIFLI, which literally means "When I Feel Like It." Putting together a post on this blog WIFLI works much better for my schedule, and for the higher quality of each issue that is eventually published!

It has been a week since my last edition of the Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing. That explains my decision to use my acronym, WIFLI (see above) in the name of these posts. After the last edition was published, I decided to take a couple days off from being productive. When I finally got back to work last Saturday, I actually expected to have an issue ready to publish by Sunday. But I found myself struggling to develop a theme for this issue.

It finally came to me early Sunday morning after listening to a radio show that caught my complete attention. The show was about the efforts of a very small group of the globalist elite that want to create a New World Order and global currency.  This has been a generational effort. The plans were detailed on how they would eventually accomplish their NWO goals. Because the undertaking of the plan has stretched over several hundred years, the changes have been extremely gradual, to the point where most people would never realize what was happening to them and our national sovereignty here in the United States. You know, like how you cook a frog.

Radical changes would never have worked... well, not until our current day. With so many of our children being indoctrinated over the last few generations in the public school system, and all of us soaking in the meaningless news that is dished out to us via the establishment-run mainstream media, I believe our globalist enemies believe that now is their time.

In 2008, the puppet-masters managed to get their progressive/socialist/globalist puppet elected as our President. Fortunately, enough of us were awake, created the Tea Party Movement, and managed to get the House of Representatives out of the control of the Democrats and the evil Marxist Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the very one that said we'd find out what was in Obamacare when it was passed. We slowed down the progress toward the socialist state that the globalist elites are steering us towards.

For those of us that want to halt the progress towards pushing our freedom off of a cliff, all of our efforts must be focused on making sure that many more Americans are made aware of the truth. We were lucky to have Andrew Breitbart here with us, even though that time was cut way too short. He set the standard. He moved the bar up higher than most of us can reach, at least on our own. However, I can promise you that thousands of the patriots out here, when our efforts are combined, will be able to carry on.

I happen to believe that Andrew Breitbart lived by the advice, or at least something similar, that Ralph Marston wrote in his Daily Motivator this morning: "Instead of resenting what you must do, rejoice at the opportunity to make a difference. Instead of casting yourself as a victim of low expectations, raise those expectations higher and higher through your commitment to excellence." You will want to know that if you are going to take action as Pamela Geller suggests:

Nonetheless, when I was speaking in Florida last Friday evening, someone asked me who would fill Breitbart’s shoes. No one. No one could. But all of us must. ~ Pamela Geller, in Gen. Patton leaves the field ...

That's right. Not one of us can fill Andrew's shoes, but we must, and that is going to take all of our efforts to go one better, to be going beyond what is expected of us. That's only if you believe that there really are people that want to end our freedom, and if you REALLY BELIEVE that your efforts can actually preserve our liberty. Oh, and we must all care! We must be Breitbart.  I'm just sayin'...

Iran War ‘Doomsday Clock’ Set to 10-Minutes-to-Midnight as Netanyahu Hints Conflict Could Occur Within Months
From THEBLAZE ~ by Sharona Schwartz ~ Posted on March 11, 2012 at 9:19am

The Iran War Clock - The Atlantic

On the heels of President Barack Obama’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week, diplomats and pundits continue to try to answer the perplexing question: Will Israel and/or the U.S. launch a military strike on Iran?

Now, one publication is throwing some science into the mix. Or at least political science. Modeled on the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists’ Doomsday Clock showing “how close humanity is to catastrophic destruction,” The Atlantic has assembled a group of former policymakers, journalists and academics to provide their private opinions, which are then combined into a collective prediction.

The clock is presently set at 10 minutes to midnight, or a 48 percent chance of war.

More from The Atlantic:

War or peace in the Middle East amounts to a coin toss. The probability that the United States or Israel will strike Iran in the next year is 48 percent according to a new project that predicts the chances of conflict–the Iran War Clock. And as a result, the clock is set to 10 minutes to midnight.

Panetta caught in one-world scheme
Defense secretary says 'international permission' trumps Congress
From WND ~ By Aaron Klein ~ Published Thursday, March 8th, 2012

LEON PANETTA

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta is facing criticism for statements he made at a hearing this week regarding the use of international military force without the explicit approval of Congress.

WND was first to report that before he was appointed chief of the CIA in 2009, Panetta co-chaired an initiative to regulate U.S. oceans and cede them to United Nations-based international law.

Panetta’s oceans initiative was a key partner of an organization that promotes world government, Citizens for Global Solutions.

Also, the group’s parent organization, the World Federalist Movement, promotes democratized global institutions with plenary constitutional power. It is a coordinator and member of Responsibility to Protect, the controversial United Nations military doctrine used by Obama as the main justification for U.S. and international airstrikes against Libya.

At the hearing this week, Panetta stressed the need for “international permission” to launch an international military campaign against Syria, skirting questions about seeking congressional approval for such use of military force.

Battle Hymn: Revelations of the Sinister Plan for a New World Order

Publication Date (paperback): July 7, 2011

This book presents frightening, but truthful, facts that will shake many of your deepest beliefs to the core. A dark plan, put into place centuries ago, has come to fruition. Consider Battle Hymn your wake-up call... Painstakingly researched through hundreds of sources and interviews, Battle Hymn rips the cover off the invisible government that controls our leaders and soon, our very lives. Composed of just a few hundred powerful but unelected people, this elite cadre seeks to create a one-world government to complete its already advanced globalist plans to end the sovereignty of all nations--including the United States. Its ultimate goal is complete control through a New-World Order where a socialist dictatorship ensures that every citizen is tagged, mollified and productive.

Wind farms in Pacific Northwest paid to not produce
From FoxNews.com ~ By Dan Springer ~ Published March 07, 2012

Wind farms in the Pacific Northwest -- built with government subsidies and maintained with tax credits for every megawatt produced -- are now getting paid to shut down as the federal agency charged with managing the region's electricity grid says there's an oversupply of renewable power at certain times of the year.

The problem arose during the late spring and early summer last year. Rapid snow melt filled the Columbia River Basin. The water rushed through the 31 dams run by the Bonneville Power Administration, a federal agency based in Portland, Ore., allowing for peak hydropower generation. At the very same time, the wind howled, leading to maximum wind power production.

Demand could not keep up with supply, so BPA shut down the wind farms for nearly 200 hours over 38 days.

"It's the one system in the world where in real time, moment to moment, you have to produce as much energy as is being consumed," BPA spokesman Doug Johnson said of the renewable energy.

Now, Bonneville is offering to compensate wind companies for half their lost revenue. The bill could reach up to $50 million a year.

The extra payout means energy users will eventually have to pay more.

‘This Spring, We‘ll See Action’: Piven Issues Dark Prediction on Occupy Wall Street
From THEBLAZE ~ by Madeleine Morgenstern ~ Posted on March 9, 2012 at 5:28am

According to Frances Fox Piven:

• The Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble.”

• “We’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”

• Different forms of protests that will engage many people.

• Occupy was helped by “sympathetic” press coverage.

Frances Fox Piven

Leftist professor and activist Frances Fox Piven last week predicted the Occupy Wall Street movement is entering the phase where it “makes trouble” and will soon be taking action against banks and other institutions.

“It may well be that the Occupy movement is now in its second phase, in the phase where it makes trouble, in the phase where it threatens to shut down institutions,” Piven said. “The Occupy movement has moved into the neighborhoods of our cities, it has moved into the schools….This spring, we’ll see action against the banks, against the corporations.”

She added, “It is going to be a spring with lots of protests that take different forms and engage lots of people.”

Just shut up!
Exclusive: Barbara Simpson fights back against assaults on freedom of speech
From WND Commentary ~ By Barbara Simpson ~ Published Mar 11, 2012

BARBARA SIMPSON

Did you hear the latest? The government-sponsored inquiry into the media and what it does resurfaced last week with a proposal to put restrictions on virtually everything – print, broadcast and the Internet.

In other words, all media would be scrutinized for “fairness and balance.”

Transgressions would be tracked, and media outlets would be legally accountable.

The same rules would apply to the Internet with government control over which URLs are permitted (domestic and foreign) and what content is allowed; even blogs with as few as 40 hits a day would be affected.

Breitbart's death just a coincidence?
Exclusive: Barry Farber shares concerns of famed medical examiner
From WND Commentary ~ By Barry Farber ~ Published Tuesday, Mar 6, 2012

BARRY FARBER

First, let’s nail down the difference between a conspiracy theorist and a broad-minded person. A conspiracy theorist says, “Of course, Andrew Breitbart was assassinated. Look how many people benefit from his absence. He told CPAC he had videos that could doom Obama’s re-election chances. He told Sinclair News three weeks before he died, ‘Wait till March 1st!’ He died on March 1st. You’re a blind, cowardly idiot if you can’t see he was murdered.”

That’s the conspiracy theorist. The broad-minded person says, “There’s something not quite right here!”

Dr. Michael Baden is a broad-minded person who sits at the tip-top of the medical examiner (coroner) profession. Congress made him the medical examiner equivalent of America’s poet laureate. In addition to being chief medical examiner of New York City for decades, Dr. Baden was called in to do forensic work on the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. He was called into the O.J. case. The Russian government reached across a continent and an ocean to have Dr. Baden determine whether newly exhumed bodies in Siberia were really those of the Romanoff (czarist) family. (They were!) There’s more on Dr. Baden, but that should do.

Andrew Breitbart at CPAC 2012

An article like this takes more character than stopping after one salted peanut. My editors would likely put this column “above the flag” – newspaper-ese for “maximum prominence” – if I could get Dr. Baden to say he suspects foul play in the demise of Andrew Breitbart. However, like a good football referee, let me put the ball exactly where Dr. Baden left it.

It’s known Breitbart had heart problems. And Dr. Baden believes, despite the almost supernatural coincidence of Breitbart dying precisely when his powerful enemies wished he would, that there was no foul play. But Baden doesn’t stop there.

Gen. Patton leaves the field
Exclusive: Pamela Geller says the world's a scarier place without Andrew Breitbart
From WND Commentary ~ By Pamela Geller ~ Published Tuesday, Mar 6, 2012

PAMELA GELLER

I cannot get my arms around Breitbart’s sudden death. I just can’t. Gen. Patton in the information battle-space leaves the battlefield at Normandy.

I mourn deeply on a personal level. My thoughts and prayers are with his wonderful wife and children. What a profound loss.

Andrew Breitbart was our warrior, our leader. Fearless, unapologetic, brilliant. I admire few people, but I admired him. He was in a league of his own. The herculean contribution he made to the war against the left and the enemedia cannot be calculated.

I just loved him. He was the only one on the right with fierce spine and courage. So many in the big right blogosphere and media are so afraid of tackling certain issues. They are weak. They are insipid. Andrew Breitbart was anything but weak or insipid. He loved to confront the lies, the corruption, the evil. He was the happy warrior indeed.

The world is a scarier place without him. I do not overstate his influence. The left and its organ grinder’s monkey, the enemedia, feared him. He terrified them. It’s why they despised him so.

He was a fearless champion.

Why we are a nation divided
Exclusive: Patrice Lewis says both left and right have turned gov't into an invasive cancer
From WND Commentary ~ By Patrice Lewis ~ Published Friday, Mar 9, 2012

PATRICE LEWIS

With the presidential elections coming up this year, I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to why we are so divided as a nation. I know division has always been endemic in our country – in any country, really – but lately it seems that things are getting worse.

Why is that, do you suppose?

In a previous column, I touched on an idea that may offer some insight. I believe we’re divided because each side wants the government to support its own agenda, rather than keeping the government within its constitutional limitations.

What I wrote was: “So when election-year promises come down to politicians informing us that ‘MY government solution is better than THEIR government solution,’ I’m not impressed. … If we got rid of unconstitutional government interference, most of our country’s problems would solve themselves through the often harsh corrections of the free market.

“The trouble is, by allowing free-market corrections, we’d have no one to blame but ourselves when things go wrong or fail. But when we accept Big Brother solutions, it means we can blame the other guy’s government. And that’s why this nation is so polarized – we no longer take personal blame and responsibility for our failures, and instead spend all our time blaming the other guy’s government ‘solution.’”

Corruption beyond our imaginations
Exclusive: Joseph Farah quotes Joe Biden in rundown of 'clean energy' skulduggery
From WND Commentary ~ By Joseph Farah ~ Published Tuesday, Mar 6, 2012

JOSEPH FARAH

How does Barack Obama’s administration get away with it?

How does it systematically redistribute billions in taxpayer money to sham companies, take political contributions from those companies, watch the government subsidies squandered, and pay no political price with voters?

How?

The secret to their success is being involved in corruption that is audacious and beyond the imaginations of most Americans, who simply cannot believe anyone would or could attempt to get away with such schemes.

[Editor's note:  Skipping down to the end of the column for these very important words of wisdom for the GOP ... Emphasis below is my own.]

Who benefits? The politically connected pseudo-entrepreneurs and Obama and other Democrats who benefited from the kickbacks to their campaigns.

Why aren’t Republican presidential candidates talking about this monumental scandal every day?

Why aren’t they making commercials of those appearances by Biden?

Why aren’t they running against what amounts to a criminal conspiracy?

Go one better
From The Daily Motivator ~ By Ralph Marston ~ Published Tuesday, Mar 13, 2012

RALPH MARSTON

Do circumstances demand that you get up an hour earlier? Then put yourself firmly in control, go one better, and get up two hours earlier.

As long as you’re making the effort, make it count. Rather than doing just the minimum required to merely get by, do the maximum of which you’re capable.

Don’t just break even by giving what you’re expected to give. Go one better, and exceed everyone’s expectations.

And finally, there is this video that I stumbled on several days ago in a tweet by Rick Santorum. Yes, I still support Rick Santorum for the GOP nomination. But, the real reason for sharing this video with you is the discovery of the First Love Band. I think that you will see these young musicians go somewhere in life. Why? They seem to understand the concept of "Going One Better," and they are living it! You will love this song. I believe that, because I know Rick loves it. He said so in his own tweet! (That was how I discovered this song, and the group, First Love Band!)
