Rush Limbaugh: Guns for Yee, But Not for Thee

RUSH: From the Los Angeles Times: “Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment against state Sen. Leland Yee in court Wednesday, accusing him of conspiring to commit wire fraud and traffic firearms.” Military grade weapons Senator Yee allegedly trafficking. Senator Leland Yee was among the most vocal anti-Second Amendment Democrats in the country. This guy wanted to eliminate it. He didn’t want you to have any guns, and here he is indicted for trafficking in military grade weapons.

“In all, 26 people, including former school board president Keith Jackson, were indicted on charges related to an extensive crime ring headed by well-known Chinatown figure Raymond Chow.” (interruption) Yeah, he’s also known as the Shrimp Boy. Raymond Chow, the Shrimp Boy. He was also arrested and charged. Now, Raymond Chow, the Shrimp Boy, is head of the Wo Hop To gang. It’s a well-known criminal gang, California, Shrimp Boy, Raymond Chow heads it up.

Truly a shocker, an anti-2nd Amendment Liberal Democrat, Leland Yee, had been indicted and arrested on Wednesday (Mar 26, 2014) morning for various Federal crimes, including the trafficking of guns. It is the epic level of hypocrisy that this story represents which makes it so important for people to know about. Because of a long on-going FBI investigation, it will be impossible for President Barack Obama to call it "another phony scandal." In fact, he won't be able to blame it on George W. Bush, either, as the investigation didn't get underway until Obama was in office. And, it's unlikely that the FBI turned over illegal weapons to Mexican drug cartels like in the Fast and Furious operation run by the Justice Department and ATF.

It was this part that I heard Thursday morning that kindled my interest in this story:

RUSH: But, man, they’re going after Democrats and they’re nailing them. It’s like they’ve been doing this for years under the cover of darkness and everything else in a way that is perhaps saving the country.

Could this mean that other people are being investigated "under the cover of darkness" that we don't know about yet? Is there somebody inside the FBI that wants to clean up the corruption? Wouldn't it be great to see Eric Holder, or even President Obama, taking the perp walk? Okay, I was just dreaming. Just sayin'...


Rush Limbaugh: Guns for Yee, But Not for Thee

Transcript from Rush Limbaugh

March 27, 2014

From Teaparty.org

(Rush Limbaugh) – BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Folks, the FBI is up to something. The FBI is raiding and arresting Democrats all over this country. You know, it’s incredible. I mean, Democrat mayors, and in California, a secretary of state, old buddy Leland Yee, man, is this guy in bad trouble. This guy’s in deep. Details coming up on Leland Yee. In fact, Sacramento, local media, my adoptive hometown, they feel so sorry for Senator Yee because, A, he got caught in a massive gunrunning operation. They feel sorry for him. He got caught in a massive gunrunning operation. He’s one of the biggest anti-Amendment Two people you’ll find in the Democrat Party. He’s the biggest hypocrite you can find. He’s out there saying nobody can have their guns, and here he is running ‘em.

AKs, folks! We’re not talking about Saturday night specials. This guy’s into the big stuff that kills people, like automatic weapons. That’s the automatic word for liberals. You say automatic weapons and they just have conniptions. So the local Sacramento media’s feeling so sorry for Senator Yee because this happened to him. He didn’t do anything, see, it happened. And then they really feel bad because he was criticized by me yesterday.

I’m gonna get to all this FBI stuff. I’ll tell you, this is fascinating to me, what the FBI is doing, and they’ve been doing this for a while. These investigations that they’ve been engaged in have been going on for years. If I didn’t know better — and I don’t know better, I’d have no idea, but it just seems like, I mean, the number of years this has been going on, it’s almost as though somebody — and the FBI’s part of the Regime. Obama runs the FBI. They’re part of the executive branch. But, man, they’re going after Democrats and they’re nailing them. It’s like they’ve been doing this for years under the cover of darkness and everything else in a way that is perhaps saving the country.  [Emphasis my own]

Anatomy of government cover-ups ~ By Larry Klayman

And, as the Justice Department-run grand juries carry on – usually endlessly until after the administration in power leaves office – little to nothing happens in terms of law enforcement. If indeed a person or two wind up being indicted, they are almost always lower or middle level officials who take the fall for the higher ups, including but not limited to the president himself.

Why do these lower and middle level officials take the proverbial fall for their masters who put them in power? Assuming that they have not been bribed – which does happen – this is because if they do not play ball they will have no chance of being appointed to any future government position and could even risk, as in the Clinton years in particular, being killed. During these years, over 80 government witnesses and others capable of implicating the Bonnie and Clyde of American politics in major crimes simply vanished off the face of the earth like a Malaysian airliner. One can call my “observations” rank speculation and so-called conspiracy theory, but the law of averages would more than suggest that of the 80, at least a few were offed by the henchmen of Bill and Hill.

So many of us during the 1990's felt that both Bill and Hillary Clinton were monsters who were able to get away with murder. However, as Larry Klayman points out, the Clintons were just into the corruption for protection of their personal power. In contrast, President Barack Hussein Obama and his corrupt administration are trying to end American exceptionalism and trying to get and keep the Marxists in power.  The problem is that the corruption will keep going on, and there will never be justice, as Klayman points out in this column, unless "we ourselves have the courage, as the Founding Fathers did in 1776, to risk all to save the nation and by extension ourselves and loved ones."

Anatomy of government cover-ups

On WND.com

Having been a U.S. Justice Department prosecutor and self-appointed crime fighter for many years, founding and running Judicial Watch and now Freedom Watch, I have come to learn the hard way how our so-called government attempts to cover up its deceit, fraud and corruption. Indeed, there is a formula that applies in almost every case. This helps explain why congressional committees have not been able to obtain even a scintilla of justice for the atrocities committed by President Barack Hussein Obama and his comrades in scandals ranging from Fast and Furious-gate to Benghazi-gate, IRS-gate, Extortion 17-gate and a host of other egregious violations of the public’s trust.

A textbook Washington scandal can usually begin with a whistleblower – that is, someone inside the government who has a conscience and “blows the whistle” over criminal activity – coming forward to the press. When this happens, the media seize on and frequently sensationalize the story to reach readers and, in the case of cable news, viewers. After the story takes hold and begins its journey to reach critical mass, congressmen and senators exploit it to further their political interests and goals, appearing on Fox News or MSNBC and CNN, depending on which proverbial ox is gored – left or right, Democrat or Republican.

WIFLI Briefing for Jul 18, 2012 - Wake Up! Just Wake Up!

You may have noticed that I haven't been very active here lately. I'll explain that here, eventually, so please just bear with me for a little bit. First, though, I have a story to tell you.

What I heard on Sunday night, July 15, really had to be a wake up call! I thought I knew I heard it correctly, but I needed to get the quote right to confirm that it happened. I found it. It was on the Christian Science Sentinel - Radio version: "Spiritual healing in life-threatening situations," with Diane Marrapodi, airing from July 14 – 20, 2012.

Sunday night, with my weekend just one day on the job away, seemed to be surreal. I went to bed earlier than usual, and I had a good reason to make the conscious effort of arriving to work a little early.  The alarm clock was carefully set accordingly. For some reason, however, I woke up just prior to when the alarm clock was set to awaken me.  I always have the alarm clock set to go off about a half hour early, so that I can hit the snooze button a couple of times. For some reason, though, the alarm was silent at the time it was set for. Since I was awake, I reset the alarm for the half hour away when I would have to get out of bed. This time, the alarm clock worked, and being that I have it so the radio comes on, I heard the words, "...wake up, just wake up!"

I told several people about that experience when I was at work that night. However, it wasn't until I started making my decisions about which stories I would include in this issue, and I found the column by Erik Rush, I knew that there was a reason I woke up as I did. Having that unbelievable alarm clock episode, with hearing those words, followed by reading Erik's column, "Tell your neighbors: Time to wake the hell up," couldn't be just a coincidence.

In the commentaries that you will find below, there is the theme that it is time to wake up. Every one of the columns are going to focus on the fact that there is an obvious contrast between the ideologies of the two parties, and ultimately, the candidates. What is exposed in this edition is the fact that it is extremely important for you - who love this country - to get out and wake people up.

A little over a month ago, I started several other projects that have consumed my time. One of the projects involves increasing my income, and perhaps replacing my current employment income someday. It has been a time consuming endeavor, and I'm glad to be taking on that challenge. The other project has been in getting a new Facebook "fan page" started, and building up a following. That project is a major part of my objective to help wake up our neighbors!

The irony is that I had to hear the "Wake up!" message on the radio before I could confidently and consciously make the effort to try to wake up any of "my neighbors." And it seems to be ironically twisted in that I decided to start a new page, Johnny2k's America, in order to share information with my "neighbors." It was twisted, because it seems to contradict the whole idea of sharing information with my neighbors to "wake them up." When I tried that on my personal facebook page, it didn't seem to go over well. Friends and relatives alike seemed to start avoiding my personal page because they didn't want to hear about politics and religion.

That's right, I was one of those people that was afraid to try to wake people up, because I was afraid I would lose some relationships that I've been trying to develop on Facebook, my virtual neighborhood. Friends or relatives, I just wasn't ready to sacrifice my connections and re-connections. Not all the people I have "friended" on facebook would agree with my ideologies.

As a "compromise," I started a new page, which is now called "Johnny2k's America." It was the best I could do to make an effort to wake people up without losing friends along the way. It was a compromise, but I don't regret it.

My conscience is clear, and I am still trying to "wake my neighbors the hell up."  I'm not ashamed of my efforts. While avoiding the pitfalls of losing friends because of disagreements in ideologies, I have survived by giving my fellow patriots a way to shove a little information in the direction of those that aren't informed, without being offensive.

You should read every one of the columns and watch every one of the videos that is included in this WIFLI edition. But, even if you don't, there will be all the information you need to know to get out to inform and educate your "neighbors." Do not depend on them finding the information by themselves. The ones that really need to know what is going on may not be keeping up. Only by you being informed will you be able to reach those that haven't yet heard the Truth. The Truth will set us free, and keep us free! It is still up to you. I'm just sayin'...

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!

Erik Rush provides the epic introduction to this edition of the WIFLI, and explains why it is important for us to reach out to those that need to hear more than what they may ever encounter in their day-to-day existence with only the assistance of a water-cooler conversations with even more uninformed idiots...

Tell your neighbors: Time to wake the hell up 
Exclusive: Erik Rush advocates stigmatizing the uninformed prior to November 
From WND Commentary ~ By Erik Rush ~ Published July 11, 2012

ERIK RUSH

Millions who cast their votes this November will do so believing, as they have for many years, that they have a pretty good understanding of the issues at hand. The fact is that few have any idea at all what has really transpired in America over the last several decades, nor do they understand the true nature of the forces that have conspired to make this election into such a pivotal one.

The time for having reservations over telling casual acquaintances that they need to wake the hell up is over. People have been conditioned by design to believe that their superficial perceptions can be trusted, and they tend to have a certain amount of ego-involvement in the beliefs they have cultivated around them. This can no longer be tolerated on the grand scale to which it has been tolerated; it is this kind of intellectual indolence that helped to get us where we are.

Herman Cain explains why depending on the legacy mainstream media for your news will leave you with a large deficit of information that you will need to make a good decision when you vote in November.

Media imbalance: News they let you see 
Herman Cain exposes press' questionable judgment on which stories are covered 
From WND Commentary ~ By Herman Cain ~ Published Jul 8, 2012

HERMAN CAIN

Today, between Fox News Channel, talk radio, leading conservative blogs and now the new CainTV.com Internet network, stories like “Fast and Furious” – or the worst aspects of Obamacare, for example – have outlets to see the light of day. And because news can spread so quickly today via social media, these stories can be seen by a lot more people than just the direct audiences of these outlets.

So even if media imbalance, as practiced by the dinosaurs, results in ignoring a story, the story can still become known.

A problem, though, is low-information voters who often play a major role in deciding elections. These are the 20 percent in the middle of the electorate who don’t lean strongly toward one party or the other and still rely largely on traditional media to get their news. If these folks knew the real nature of “Fast and Furious,” or the real costs of Obamacare, or the true nature of our economic and fiscal situations, they would likely vote to send Obama packing in massive numbers.

But they won’t know any of that if they rely solely on the old-guard broadcast networks and print outlets. Media imbalance will see to it. That’s why organizations that can expose this information to the public must do so. News organizations that cover up stories that matter are no news organizations at all.

Barry's stories... And here Barry told the biggest story imaginable, just last week, that defines what he considers to be the what he expects his voters to believe, that the government will be the solution to all that ails this nation. Mychal was correct: We the People were listening.

Barry's stories: A chronicle of destruction
Exclusive: Mychal Massie responds to Obama's latest 'the dog ate my homework' excuse
From WND Commentary ~ By Mychal Massie ~ Published Jul 16, 2012

MYCHAL MASSIE

The country is going to hell in a hand basket specifically because of Obama’s pernicious permutation of our domestic and social policies – and the best he can come up with is: “When I think about … the mistake of my first term … [was forgetting that] the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times.” (“Obama: My Biggest Mistake Was Not ‘Telling a Story,’” Weekly Standard, July 12, 2012)

That is the most hebephrenic mea culpa I’ve heard in my life, in or out of politics. As an excuse it borders on “the dog ate my homework.” The truth is that you did tell a story, Barry – and We the People were listening.

Your promise to “fundamentally change” our nation was the story of your plan to transmogrify America into that which Erebus, Lenin and Marx would applaud, and people are awaking to that fact. We heard your story when your wife hissed through her toothy overbite that she had been ashamed of America her entire life, right up until you came on the scene.

In order to inform our neighbors, we must help them understand that there is a huge difference in the platforms of the two parties that will make up most of the total votes in November. Here are just a few examples of ideologies that you will never see the Democrats and Republicans compromise on.

No, the 2 parties are not the same
Exclusive: Phil Elmore puts excerpts of platforms side by side
From WND Commentary ~ By Phil Elmore ~ Published June 20, 2012

PHIL ELMORE

We must stand up for the United States Constitution. We must hold politicians to their claims. This starts by electing the party that stands, explicitly, for liberty, decency and individual rights. When those we elect for these reasons go on to fail us, we must immediately eject them from office and elect more representatives who stand for the correct ideals. We must not simply elect the “other guy” in the hope that something will change – for if we fight evil by electing those who actively advocate it, we have accomplished nothing.

There is a difference between Democrats and Republicans. That difference is found in what the two parties say they want to do. The only answer to the problems facing our nation is never again to elect a Democrat – while holding elected Republicans to a high standard and throwing them out of office when they fail to meet it. Only by standing against the Democrats, the party of abortion, the party of vote fraud, the party of gun control, the party of socialism, the party of surrender and appeasement in the face of our nation’s enemies, can we prevail.

Diana West has it right, we get one more chance. But in order to make a change in November, there is no doubt that our neighbors need a wake-up call. Once more, it is important to emphasize the kind of America we will have to live with, should we not take advantage of our last chance to get it right.

Ever-Bigger-Government America 
Diana West: In November, we get one more chance to save the republic 
From WND Commentary ~ By Diana West ~ Published July 5, 2012

DIANA WEST

Such fundamental transformation was a long time coming. Its course was largely set three quarters of a century ago during the 12-year reign of FDR, whose signature “New Deal” entrenched the Marxist (socialist, Leninist, progressive, collectivist, Alinskyite – take your pick) mindset in Ever-Bigger-Government America. In a sense, Barack Obama ranks only as the most audacious of FDR’s successors in his ideological drive to socialize the USA. As Obama himself explained in a 1995 interview with the Chicago Reader (unearthed by Obama biographer Stanley Kurtz), the “right-wing … individualistic bootstrap myth” needed replacing. “We must unite in collective action,” Obama said, “build collective institutions and organizations.”

That certainly describes SCOTUS-approved Obamacare.

Taking the long view, we might say the collectivists inspired by the Russian Revolution of 1917 have won. The individual has lost. The state has only grown, and liberty has only shrunk. The fireworks went off all right, but somehow, the home of the brave remains in the dark.

At least until November, when we get one more chance.

Bad days for freedom
Andrew Napolitano: 'Imagine Jefferson being told what to eat or stopped and frisked'
From WND Commentary ~ By Andrew Napolitano ~ Published July 11, 2012

ANDREW NAPOLITANO

Imagine Jefferson being told what to eat or stopped and frisked on a whim. And then imagine the Supreme Court telling him that he must pay a tax if he fails to comport his personal private behavior as Congress – which doesn’t believe in privacy or personal freedom – commands.

Here is how you can tell that these are bad days for freedom: Does the government need your permission to violate your rights, or do you need the government’s permission to exercise them? The answer is painfully obvious.

Presently in America, what are we going to do about it?

In my heart, I know that I could never believe that success is only achievable with the help of government. In fact, it is just the opposite of what I believe. Hopefully, all Americans have the same opportunities, and that government programs would never favor any group of people over another... Well, even if that is not the case, there are people that just seem to make it on their own, despite the government "assistance" that is available!

And here I thought it was the role of government to make sure that nobody had an unfair advantage due to race, religion, gender, age, and whatever other minority "victims" there are.  I thought it was about keeping the playing field of opportunity to remain level.

Obama's view of a level playing field is by having the government being the officials that change the rules as we go, just to make sure the results we end up with are equal... And that can not and never will happen.

There will always be people that are a lot more passionate about finding a way to succeed in life. Success is NOT defined by what the government can provide with you with. It is ALL up to each individual, and their faith that the Lord has given them the tools they need. The government can never provide what our faith does!

Obama: Success is Only Achievable through Government
From GOPUSA "The Loft" ~ By Bobby Eberle ~ Published Jul 17, 2012 at 7:13 am

BOBBY EBERLE

What an incredible few days it has been. Barack Obama has been trying everything in his campaign... pulling ideas from the same, tired leftwing playbook used in the past. He has called for higher taxes. He is using class warfare. He is using character attacks rather than hitting the issues. But with just one speech, Obama showed that he far surpasses left wing presidents of the past. By implying that no American can be successful without government "help," Obama showed that it's impossible for him to lead, because he has no clue what the American Dream is.

It will be interesting to see in the upcoming weeks what the media have to say about Obama and his actions. Yes, they are all firmly in his corner. Yes, they buy into the same "big government" mentality as he does. But Obama is so far out of touch, one would think even some of the "normal" leftists would catch on.

In a speech on Friday, Obama -- whether he intended to or not -- blasted small business owners and entrepreneurs by saying that if you were successful, "somebody else made that happen." Incredible. Incredibly stupid. Incredibly out of touch.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Mar 28, 2012

Welcome to this edition of Time 2 Escape WIFLI Brief!

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."

No, I'm not gone yet.  I'm not done yet.

The government hasn't come to take me away, ...yet.

There is an advantage to being just one little citizen journalist, too tiny to see, able to fly under the radar...so far.

I open this briefing with the above words, because I am wondering how long it may be that I have the opportunity to keep paying it forward for the liberty of our children and grandchildren.

No, I had a slight physical affliction that affected my productivity in the last two weeks, and will soon have another medical procedure done on me that will prevent me from doing much here in April (2012). I don't like it much when I can not perform up to the standards that I expect from myself.

I read an incredible edition of Ralph Marston's Daily Motivator during my "down time" that did keep my inspiration high, and at least kept me hoping for a quick recovery. I knew this was a quote that should be spread far and wide in order to keep the love of liberty going:

Most of the work of achievement is done when no one is paying attention. Those who achieve, do the work even though it is difficult, demanding, tedious and far from glamorous.

More often than not, even the most impressive results come from plenty of plain old, ordinary hard work. It’s not extraordinary talent that distinguishes achievers, but rather an extraordinary level of commitment to getting the work done.

~ Ralph Marston, Ordinary hard work, Tuesday, March 20, 2012

It was pretty much an exercise of torture for me, like water-boarding, when I knew that I had so much to say, but was physically unable to just do the ordinary, let alone, the extraordinary. But at least I was able to go through the motions by determining the content I wanted to include in this issue.

Just don't freak out when my next absence occurs in the first part of April 2012. It can't be helped, but I do believe that we will somehow endure another lengthy time of inactivity here on the Time 2 Escape blog. I will, however, have some of "my people" keeping me advised of what needs to be included in the next issue that you will see here. One of those friends has already contributed to this briefing, and I owe a lot of gratitude to that individual.

I also owe some fist bumps to the Anonymous person that wrote a comment on my previous blog post. I don't get a lot of comments here, but one that was written made a lot of sense. It may explain a lot about our culture. and what you will read in this post that Paul Harvey talked about, that we have a short attention span. If that's the case, folks, we're going to lose. We need to focus, even if we can only do just a little bit every day. Just keep in mind the wise words of Ralph Marston, that "the most impressive results come from plenty of plain old, ordinary hard work. It’s not extraordinary talent that distinguishes achievers, but rather an extraordinary level of commitment to getting the work done."  

Sometimes, we have to just be happy to take one bite of the elephant at a time. It's a long process. The Commies (Progressives) took just a 100 years to accomplish their goals here in America.  I'm just sayin'...

The Vetting - Holder 1995: We Must 'Brainwash' People on Guns
From Breitbart.com ~ by Joel B. Pollak ~ Mar 18, 2012

Breitbart.com has uncovered video from 1995 of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder announcing a public campaign to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way."

Holder was addressing the Woman's National Democratic Club. In his remarks, broadcast by CSPAN 2, he explained that he intended to use anti-smoking campaigns as his model to "change the hearts and minds of people in Washington, DC" about guns.

"What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that's not cool, that it's not acceptable, it's not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes."

Holder added that he had asked advertising agencies in the nation's capital to assist by making anti-gun ads rather than commercials "that make me buy things that I don't really need." He had also approached local newspapers and television stations, he said, asking them to devote prime space and time, respectively, to his anti-gun campaign.

Holder's Brainwashing Against Guns Foreshadowed Operation Fast and Furious
From Breitbart.com ~ by Mary Chastain ~ Mar 19, 2012

Yesterday, Breitbart.com revealed exclusive video of then-U.S. Attorney Eric Holder speaking to the Woman’s National Democratic Club, stating that he wanted to “brainwash” people against gun ownership.

The video reveals Attorney General Holder’s early, consistent, and strident enthusiasm for gun control legislation. He wanted schools to talk about anti-gun propaganda “every day, every school, and every level."

ATTY GENERAL ERIC HOLDER

Operation Fast and Furious -- in which Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ) smuggled guns illegally to Mexican drug cartels -- could finally have provided Holder the material for that anti-gun curriculum.

On December 7, 2011, CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson (who is the only one in the mainstream media faithfully reporting this story) shared documents proving that the motive behind Operation Fast & Furious was to implement harsher gun regulations.

Ms. Attkisson reported that Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) officials within the DOJ discussed using the illegal gun sales to justify “Demand Letter 3,” which would require some gun shops to report the sales of multiple rifles or long guns.

Each new revelation pushes Operation Fast and Furious up the chain of command and provides more evidence that it was to be used for more gun control.

The mainstream media tends to trickle out small bits of narrative as a story goes on. However, the first impression is the one that seems to prevail, just like when we meet new people. Our collective sentiment builds up to a point of no return, based on the initial elements of the story that we hear and see, over and over again.

But thanks to the new media - the citizen journalists - you will now find out more about a story which shatters the initial media spin of some kind of aggravated hate crime, where an innocent young black man was shot in cold blood because he was wearing a hoodie.

From this story: "Most media accounts of the story suggest Martin was walking down the street minding his own business when he was shot without provocation by Zimmerman." We learn, though, that it didn't really go down that way.  I'm just wondering now if the New Black Panthers will put a bounty on my head, too, for letting you know about this?

Witness counters Trayvon Martin media narrative
Says 17-year-old was beating Zimmerman before shooting
From WND ~ Published Saturday, Mar 24, 2012

Maybe George Zimmerman did act in self-defense when he shot and killed Trayvon Martin, whose death Feb. 26 in Sanford, Florida, has been the focus of a media and political circus that even included Barack Obama weighing in this week.

TRAYVON MARTIN

An eyewitness to the incident told police Martin was beating Zimmerman before he shot him.

Zimmerman had called 911 to report the suspicious activities of a youth in his neighborhood, telling the dispatcher that he was following Martin.

On the recording of another 911 call, repeated cries of “help” can be heard before the gunshot.

The witness, identified only as John, says those cries were made by Zimmerman who was on the ground being beaten by Martin.

“The guy on the bottom who had a red sweater on was yelling to me: ‘help, help … and I told him to stop and I was calling 911,” he said.

Executive-order panic: Martial law in U.S.?
White House quietly releases document that creates widespread worry
From WND ~ By Drew Zahn ~ Published Mar 18, 2012, at 5:13 PM

DREW ZAHN

The White House’s late-week release of an executive order has sent the online community into an uproar, worried that President Obama had secretly provided himself means to institute martial law in America.

In the common practice of dumping government documents on a Friday afternoon, just as the news cycle is wrapping up for the week – a move critics say allows the administration to avoid widespread coverage of embarrassing actions – the White House released an executive order on “National Defense Resources Preparedness.”

Filled with language about “government-owned equipment” and a “defense executive reserve,” among other vague statements, rumors began to spread that the executive order expanded the president’s power to do everything from seizing whole industries to drafting private armies.

A Canada Free Press article titled “Obama Executive Order: Peacetime Martial Law!” spread concerns of gasoline ration cards; while an Examiner article declared the order would “nationalize everything” and “allow for a civilian draft.” Facebook, email and Twitter were suddenly abuzz, and even the extremely popular Drudge Report posted a link to the White House release under the title “Martial Law? Obama Issues Executive Order.”

But are the cries of martial law and expanding executive power justified?

Why The March 16th, 2012 White House Executive Order Is Different
From Patriots For America ~ By Ann Barnhardt ~ Posted by Twana Blevins on Mar 19, 2012 at 10:58am

ANN BARNHARDT

I’m getting really, really sick of these pundits and talking heads on the so-called “right” clucking their tongues at the unwashed masses and telling us that we’re crazy and paranoid to be the least bit concerned each and every time the Obama regime takes another stride toward totalitarianism. And it is EACH AND EVERY TIME.

Let me break it down for Ed Morrissey, and all of the other pundits in that social circle so that you can get your heads around this. We are concerned and even, dare I say it, panicked, because we can see the big picture of the Obama regime for what it is. We can take the totality of the dataset and draw not just a logical, reasoned conclusion, but a conclusion that is supported by centuries – nay millenia – of past precedent.

We are, as Patrick Henry put it, “willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”

Why is the 3/16/2012 Executive Order worthy of grave concern? Simply put, because of the man and the regime who issued it... [EMPHASIS MINE]

Why Fear Communism?
From The Patriot Update ~ By Victoria Jackson ~ Written on Mar 13, 2012

VICTORIA JACKSON

They used to say, “He is not a Communist!” Now they say, “What’s so wrong with Communism?”


I got this email from my 28 year old friend “Al” yesterday:

We aren’t living in the 1950’s anymore. Why is there a fear of the communist bogeyman? Isn’t creating and perpetuating this fear just another form of propaganda?

Obviously, this boy has been brainwashed. I was so frustrated a cartoon cyclone came out of my head and ears. Then I wrote him back:

We aren’t living in the 1950′s anymore…so, suddenly communism works?! Which country is it working in?! (I wanted to say ‘you idiot!’) North Korea, Russia, Cuba? Are people flocking there to live? Risking their lives on rafts to get there?

The liberal Miami Herald today had an article about tourists visiting Cuba. They hated to admit that the place is a falling apart poverty stricken mess. They didn’t use the “c” word of course to explain why it suddenly went bad when Castro took over. All they would offer was, “…There’s no way tourism alone can prop up a system so enfeebled by the weight of government bureaucracy, market controls and limits on personal freedoms.”

“…a system enfeebled by the weight of government bureaucracy, market controls and limits on personal freedoms…” sounds like the Obama administration.

28 year old – do you want America to look like Cuba? Than stop defending communism!

The “utopia” of communism killed 94 million, according to The Black Book of Communism.

... Finally, Trevor Loudon makes it simple. Why should young people hate communism?

OUTSIDE of the BOX

This is the part where I put it all together. I hope you have been paying close attention.

Paul Harvey, in 1965, tells you about what the evil soviet empire wanted to accomplish, and how they would accomplish their objective. This will be followed by a video that tells us how Saul Alinsky helped the goals along the way. Now, all you have to realize is that the President studied Alinsky's tactics. I think you'll see how so many pieces of the puzzle now fit together.

The prophetic words of Paul Harvey from 1965
From glennbeck.com ~ Wednesday, Mar 21, 2012 at 1:47 PM CDT

Glenn played some incredible audio this morning on the radio program of radio commentator Paul Harvey from 1965. Glenn knew Harvey, and described him as “absolutely inspired of God.”

Last night on GBTV, Glenn explained to viewers that America has crossed over into new territory. “The progressives, I believe, have realized their dream. They have taken those baby steps,” Glenn said. “It is time to stop studying progressives.”

Glenn challenged those that don’t think the progressives have accomplished their goals to “listen to the prophetic words of radio commentator Paul Harvey.”

The audio is of Paul Harvey explaining how he would destroy us [America] if he were Satan…

“If I were the devil, I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree—Thee. So I’d set about however necessary to take over the United States. I’d subvert the churches first—I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: “Do as you please.” “Do as you please.” To the young, I would whisper, “The Bible is a myth.” I would convince them that man created God instead of the other way around. I would confide that what is bad is good, and what is good is “square”. And the old, I would teach to pray. I would teach them to pray after me, ‘Our Father, which art in Washington…’

And then I’d get organized. I’d educate authors on how to lurid literature exciting, so that anything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I’d threaten TV with dirtier movies and vice versa. I’d pedal narcotics to whom I could. I’d sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I’d tranquilize the rest with pills.

If I were the devil I’d soon have families that war with themselves, churches that war that themselves, and nations that war with themselves; until each in its turn was consumed. And with promises of higher ratings I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flame. If I were the devil I would encourage schools to refine young intellects, and neglect to discipline emotions—just let those run wild, until before you knew it, you’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door.

Within a decade I’d have prisons overflowing, I’d have judges promoting pornography—soon I could evict God from the courthouse, and then the schoolhouse, and then from the houses of Congress. And in His own churches I would substitute psychology for religion, and deify science. I would lure priests and pastors into misusing boys and girls, and church money. If I were the devil I’d make the symbols of Easter an egg and the symbol of Christmas a bottle.

If I were the devil I’d take from those, and who have, and give to those wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What do you bet I could get whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I would question against extremes and hard work, and Patriotism, and moral conduct. I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned, that swinging more fun, that what you see on the TV is the way to be. And thus I could undress you in public, and I could lure you into bed with diseases for which there is no cure. In other words, if I were to devil I’d keep on doing on what he’s doing. Paul Harvey, good day.”

“That is unbelievable,” Glenn said after listening to the audio.

Time 2 Escape WIFLI Briefing for Saturday, Feb 18, 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!

I watched a big portion of Whitney Houston's home going (aka: funeral, celebration of life) today. I was celebrating her life much more than I was mourning our loss. I did feel much relief knowing that she was a Christian, which I heard from many of the speakers today.

There are people that say that Americans spend too much time paying attention to entertainment. They say that the New World Order, or Satan, uses entertainment and sports to keep us from seeing what is happening to our Freedom. Sure, there are definitely people out there that are totally oblivious to what is going on the world, but could tell you what they were doing when they heard that Michael Jackson, or even Anna Nicole Smith, was dead. The point is, not everyone is that consumed in the entertainment and sports industries. In actuality, there are many of us that point to the great abilities of various Americans, and celebrate those people in the name of American Exceptionalism. It is truly a great country that allows people to use their abilities to succeed to higher levels. I believe that was what Rick Santorum was saying just the other day, as a matter of FACT.

The great battle in this election year is truly defined by the ultimate conflict between Capitalism and Marxism. Which ever Republican wins the nomination will be the one that best communicates it to the GOP voters. In order to win the election for President this fall, they will need to be able to continue that message in order to also win over the independents and conservative Democrats.

As always, I've put together this issue of the WIFLI Briefing so that you can catch up with things, especially for those of you who were taking your Time 2 Escape this weekend into the realms of entertainment and sports. It's okay. I do that occasionally, too. I'm just sayin'...

Boehner supports Fast and Furious investigation
Committee moves closer to contempt procedures against Holder
From WND Politics ~ By Jerome Corsi ~ February 16, 2012

As House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., moved closer to beginning a contempt-of-Congress process against Attorney General Eric Holder, Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-Ohio, reaffirmed his strong support of the investigation of the Department of Justice gun-tracing operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

Issa spokesman Michael Steel rebuffed rumors that circulated during the recent Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington claiming Boehner had learned from his time as a young congressman under then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich that it is unwise for a Republican majority in the House to oppose a sitting Democratic Party president.

“Such speculation is absurd and untrue,” Steel told WND in an email.

Boehner confirmed as much, himself, today at a news conference.

The speaker was asked by a reporter if he would support the more than 100 members of the House who have called for Holder to resign and bring a proposed resolution of no confidence to the House floor.

“I think Chairman Issa and the members of the committee have done a very good job of investigating this abuse of government power, and I continue to support their efforts and believe that this Justice Department must be held accountable,” Boehner said.

Santorum: I'm Against Government Bailouts — 'Period'
From NEWSMAX ~ By Hiram Reisner ~ Friday, 17 Feb 2012 05:09 AM

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum says while both he and opponent Mitt Romney were against the government’s bailout of the auto industry, there is a fundamental difference between their two stances on federal intervention in salvaging businesses. The former Pennsylvania senator told Fox News’ Greta van Susteren Thursday that voters in Michigan — an auto industry and important primary state — will come to realize he is against government bailouts of any kind: ‘Period.”

RICK SANTORUM

“Well, I think I’m different than Governor Romney on that front — I mean, Governor Romney supported the Wall Street bailout, it was OK to go in and have the government take a huge role in bailing out big financial institutions, but it wasn’t OK for them to come and bail out the big manufacturers in this country, which are the hub of the manufacturing industry,” Santorum said, adding that voters in Michigan, which holds its GOP primary on Feb. 28, will see that “my position is consistent.”

“My position says: I’m not for the government getting involved in bailouts, period. And that to me is something that the folks in Detroit [will] say: ‘Well, look, here’s a man of principle,” he said. “Romney, who claims to be — you know, hails from southwest Michigan — and be a great defender of, and [have an] understanding of, the industrial heartland of this area . . . he supported his friends on Wall Street, but did not support the auto industry. And that’s where I think the inconsistency is. It’s not in my position.”

Al Qaeda on rise in Syria, has 'marriage of convenience' with Iran, US intelligence director says
Fox News' Catherine Herridge and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
 From FoxNews.com ~ Published February 17, 2012

WASHINGTON – The nation's top intelligence adviser told Congress on Thursday that Al Qaeda "is extending its reach into Syria" -- possibly with Iran's help.

JAMES CLAPPER
Director of National Intelligence

In a rare public admission, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said Al Qaeda and the Iranian regime have a "shotgun marriage, or marriage of convenience." More significantly, given the series of attacks this week linked to Iran, Clapper said Tehran appears to see Al Qaeda as an insurance policy -- a "surrogate or proxy" -- against future Western aggression.

This public confirmation comes as U.S. officials investigate the release of five Al Qaeda members after "years of house arrest" in Iran. The men include Saif al-Adel, who was tipped as the likely replacement for Usama bin Laden.

300 million government slaves?
Exclusive: Phil Elmore explains how natural rights mitigate against Obama liberalism
From WND Commentary ~ By Phil Elmore ~ Published Feb 15, 2012

PHIL ELMORE

The debate over Obama’s attempt to order religious organizations and insurance companies to offer specific coverage has until now centered on a threat to religious freedom. Most of this debate completely misses the philosophical and political issue we should be arguing, namely: What part of the United States Constitution mandates that citizens pay, through taxes, for other citizens’ entirely elective medical treatments? When did contraception or abortion become “rights,” and where do these demands end?

Setting aside the obviously false notion that abortions are regularly and routinely required to save the lives of otherwise healthy pregnant women, the debate over Glorious Leader Obama’s health-care dictates should and must be centered on the fundamental violation of individual rights they represent. Explanations of this infringement are found in the work of the founders; they are found in the writings of philosophers both ancient and modern, from Aristotle to Ayn Rand, John Locke to Friedrich Nietzsche, David Kelley to Robert Nozick. These men and women understood that philosophy is politics, and the reality of the world around us precludes any justification – morally and rationally – for government theft of your property.

Briefly, the Founding Fathers of the United States indicated their acceptance of, and based the United States Constitution on, the concept of natural rights. Your natural rights stem directly from a fact few can argue: You are a discrete biological entity.

Thomas Sowell continues analysis of early 20th century's interventionist policies
From WND Commentary ~ By Thomas Sowell ~ Published Feb 16, 2012

THOMAS SOWELL

“Often wrong but never in doubt” is a phrase that summarizes much of what was done by Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, the two giants of the Progressive era, a century ago.

Their legacy is very much alive today, both in their mindset – including government picking winners and losers in the economy and interventionism in foreign countries – as well as specific institutions created during the Progressive era, such as the income tax and the Federal Reserve System.

Like so many Progressives today, Theodore Roosevelt felt no need to study economics before intervening in the economy. He said of “economic issues” that “I am not deeply interested in them, my problems are moral problems.” For example, he found it “unfair” that railroads charged different rates to different shippers, reaching the moral conclusion that these rates were discriminatory and should be forbidden “in every shape and form.”

Time to tame the federal beast
Andrew Napolitano: 'We need a game changer in the White House, now more than ever'
From WND Commentary ~ By Andrew Napolitano ~ Published Feb 15, 2012

ANDREW NAPOLITANO

When the federal government was created, those who risked their lives and their fortunes and their scared honors to secede from England were animated by recent events. The government did not come into existence in a vacuum. Rather, those who led the Revolutionary War joined those who fought and financed it to create a central government that would be constitutionally incapable of doing to Americans what King George III and Parliament did to the colonists.

The king abridged many personal freedoms, but among them, religion and the right to keep income were at the top of the list, along with the freedom of speech and the right to be left alone. The reason religious rights and property rights so animated the founders is simple: They had been aggressively assaulted by the British government, and most of it had to do with money.

The king and Parliament imposed a tax on the colonists to support the king’s church in England. And the king and Parliament imposed an obligation on the colonists to purchase the king’s stamps and to affix them to all papers in their possession in America. The Stamp Act led to the invasion of the colonists’ homes by British soldiers without warrants, ostensibly looking for the stamps. Both of these taxes led to the Revolution, and the bitter aftertaste they left behind, in turn, led to a firm determination on the part of those who wrote the Constitution to craft a document that would assure that the new government would be constitutionally incapable of similar behavior.

Social Conservatives Must Remain United
From NEWSMAX ~ By David Limbaugh ~ Published Friday, 17 Feb 2012 09:23 AM

DAVID LIMBAUGH

A strong move is on to demonize and marginalize social conservatives, a move that originates from the political left but is being aided by some on the right, a move that is based on assumptions that better describe the leftist accusers than they do their targets.

Obama, by rewriting the Bush rules to protect healthcare providers who objected on moral grounds to abortion, has breached his repeated promise to preserve them and has dealt a significant blow to religious liberties, yet he is painting people of faith as the extremists.

In his University of Notre Dame speech, he said, "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion and draft a sensible conscience clause and make sure that all our healthcare policies are grounded not only in sound science but also in clear ethics, as well as respect for the equality of women."

In his propaganda speeches for Obamacare, he said, "One more misunderstanding I want to clear up: Under our plan . . . federal conscience laws will remain in place."

But what about his actions? Well, a few months before his Notre Dame speech, the administration disclosed that it had begun the process of overturning the Bush protections.

Your life is yours
From The Daily Motivator ~ By Ralph Marston ~ Saturday, February 18, 2012

RALPH MARSTON

True fulfillment requires responsibility. Your life is yours, so step up and take responsibility for it.

If you expect someone else to do it for you, what you end up with will have no real meaning to you. When you avoid responsibility you cheat yourself out of much of life’s richness.

Living with full responsibility for your own life is not easy. Yet taking the easy way out in the short term, leads to a life that is tragically difficult in the long run.
