Circle Jerks: Delaware Distraction Obscures Oval Office Atrocities

Chris Floyd - News - Mon, 2026-04-27 14:36

 

I.
The political-media-blogospherical establishment is currently working itself into a lather over the elevation of a "nutty" Tea Party woman to the Republican nomination for a Senate seat in Delaware. The selection of Christine O'Donnell by a tiny sliver of voters in a closed primary in a tiny state whose main claim to fame is its decades of whorish service as a protective front for rapacious corporations is, we are told, an event of world-shaking proportions fit for endless analysis and scary headlines all over the world.

It's true that O'Donnell has taken the politically risky step of denouncing America's national pastime -- masturbation -- and has, over the years, supported any number of positions that put her on the far side of common sense. But one struggles in vain to find that she has advanced anything remotely as radical -- or lunatic -- as the idea that the President of the United States is some kind of intergalactic emperor who holds the power of life and death over every living being on earth in his autocratic hands. Yet this is precisely the position proclaimed -- openly, before Congress, God and everybody -- by the highly educated, intellectually sophisticated, super-savvy Laureate of Peace currently residing in the White House.

This same president has also fought tooth and nail -- often in open court -- to shield torturers, escalate pointless wars of aggression, relentlessly expand a liberty-stripping Stasi-style security apparatus, give trillions of tax dollars to rapacious financiers, health-care corporations, insurance companies and bloodstained war profiteers, while launching cowardly drone missile attacks on the sovereign territory of close ally, killing hundreds of civilians in the process - and has just signed off on the biggest arms deal in history with one of the most viciously repressive tyrannies on earth.

So I'm sorry, but I just don't see how a putzy, klutzy, wilfully ignorant Tea Partier from perhaps the most corrupt state in the Union is somehow more dangerous than the people we have in power now -- including a Vice-President who for decades was the senator (and corporate bagman) from this very same most corrupt state in the Union, and used his power to advance a "Bankruptcy Bill" that was one of the most savage class-war attacks on working people -- and the poor, and the sick, and the vulnerable -- that we have seen in many a year. Then again, as far as I know, Joe "Bankruptcy Bill" Biden has never publicly condemned the practice of masturbation.

Do I want to see Christine O'Donnell in the Senate? No, of course not. Not only because in her freely chosen ignorance she has embraced the most primitive, bleakly reductive understandings of religion, politics, power, sexuality and human reality in general, but also -- and mainly -- because she will support all of the policies delineated above: the imperial wars for loot and domination, the presidential power to kill and incarcerate at will, the slavish support for Big Money in all of its destructive manifestations, the perversion of every single public program into an engine of private profit for the elite, and so on down the line. But as her Democratic opponent will do the same thing if he is elected, I don't see why we should be all het up about O'Donnell's corporate-funded victory in the teeny-tiny Republican primary in little bitty Delaware.

But hey, it's all good fun, right? The tribal partisans get to jerk their knees in orgiastic spasms, drawing oceans of newsprint and TV airtime, while the real business of empire -- slaughtering, torturing and repressing human beings -- goes on unnoticed and unabated.

II.
But a hardy few out there are still trying to draw attention to the actual crimes and moral atrocities being committed by the actual holders of actual power. One of these is Andy Worthington, who is beginning an eight-part series on the remaining prisoners still being held in the still-unclosed American concentration camp at Guantanamo Bay. As Worthington says, the series will

help explain how few of the remaining prisoners have any connection to terrorism, how some are civilians, and how others were foot soldiers for the Taliban, in an inter-Muslim civil war in Afghanistan that had nothing to do with 9/11, and very little to do with al-Qaeda. I also hope that it may contribute to the almost non-existent debate regarding the Authorization for Use of Military Force, and the administration's misplaced use of it to hold foot soldiers in Guantanamo, as well as highlighting other aspects of the habeas litigation, the military commissions, the moratorium on releasing Yemenis, and the decision to hold 48 of the prisoners indefinitely without charge or trial.


Hey, but you know what's more important than that, Andy? The fact that someone who won the votes of a sliver of the electorate in a tiny state doesn't think people should masturbate! Let's get our priorities straight here.

Another campaign now underway is a major effort to free Bradley Manning, the young soldier who committed the cardinal sin of trying to unearth a few nuggets of truth about the murderous reality of the American Terror War, now being prosecuted and expanded so assiduously by the Continuer-in-Chief. On Thursday, filmmaker Michael Moore and Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg launched "The Campaign to Free Manning" in Oakland. The Guardian reports:

Demonstrations are planned in the US, Canada and Australia over the next three days in support of Manning, an army intelligence analyst who is being held at a military prison in Virginia ...Manning, 23, is also accused of involvement in WikiLeaks' exposure of a video of a US helicopter attack on apparently unarmed Iraqis in a Baghdad street. Two Reuters employees were among those killed.

Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon papers to the New York Times that laid bare the extent of US government duplicity in its claims to be winning the Vietnam War, said Manning was defending the constitution in revealing the truth about the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Soldiers' sworn oath is to defend and support the constitution. Bradley Manning has been defending and supporting our constitution," he said.

Moore ... said the US military was being hypocritical in its attempts to discredit Manning and accuse WikiLeaks by asserting that making the secret documents public endangered the lives of Afghans collaborating with coalition forces.

"To suggest that lives were put in danger by the release of the WikiLeaks documents is the most cynical of statements," Moore said. "Lives were put in danger the night we invaded the sovereign nation of Iraq, an act that had nothing to do with what the Bradley Mannings of this country signed up for: to defend our people from attack. It was a war based on a complete lie and lives were not only put in danger, hundreds of thousands of them were exterminated. For those who organised this massacre to point a finger at Bradley Manning is the ultimate example of Orwellian hypocrisy."


Below is a quick roundup of a few other recent stories that aren't nearly as important as the selection by a minority party of a candidate who doesn't approve of masturbation.

1. Seven Civilians Killed in US-Iraqi Raid
That was the original headline for the New York Times story about the raid in Fallujah; within a few hours, however, the Pentagon PR units had rolled into action, and the seven civilians killed at the site of perhaps the most savage American campaign of the war had suddenly morphed into figures of vague menace. The story did note that of the dead, four were brothers "between the ages of 10 and 18." So America's non-combat soldiers killed a 10-year-old boy in a non-combat raid in the brave new era of non-combat service that has opened for the 50,000 U.S. troops still in Iraq.

But what is the life of that boy compared to the sliver of voters in a tiny state who voted in a closed, partisan primary for some gushing goober who doesn't like masturbation?

2. US Drone Strikes Kill 15 in N. Waziristan
Juan Cole reports:

The Associated Press does an important story about an intensive drone strike campaign by the US military since September 2 in southern Afghanistan and in Pakistan’s North Waziristan that has left 60 persons dead, among them innocent civilians.

On Tuesday alone, US drone attacks targeted suspected militants killed some 15 persons in the village of Dargah Mandi village on the outskirts of Miranshah, N. Waziristan’s main city.

The drone strikes have targeted fighters of the Haqqani network, one of five or so major insurgent groups fighting against the US & NATO presence in Afghanistan and against the Karzai government. Jalaluddin Haqqani is one of Ronald Reagan’s “Freedom Fighters,” who battled the Soviet occupiers of Afghanistan in the 1980s with American aid. He could not accept the US invasion and occupation of his country, either, and organized an insurgency now mainly led by his son Siraj. The Haqqani group is not Taliban but rather Mujahidin and has only a vague tactical alliance with Mulla Omar’s Taliban and similar groups.


Cole also notes that protests against these continuing deadly incursions into Pakistan have been muted -- because the Pakistanis are still dying in floodwaters, and in the water's pestiferous wake. Millions are living in deadly deprivation. But look over there -- somebody's masturbating, or not masturbating, or something! Who cares about the drowned and drone-bombed dead?

3. Obama's Thatcherite Gift to the Banks
OK, the Terror War goes on -- but at least Obama's finally waking up to the need for more FDR-like stimulus for the economy -- and more FDR-style war on the fat cats who are strangling us, right? What about that big $50 billion infrastructure plan he announced on Labor Day?

Well, as Michael Hudson explains, the plan is yet another giveaway of billions of tax dollars to rapacious financial interests:

The Obama transport plan is like a Fannie Mae for bankers, based on the President’s guiding mantra: “Let’s help Wall Street put Americans back to work.” The theory is that giving public guarantees and bailouts will enable financial managers to use some of the money to fund some projects that employ people – with newly created, non-unionized companies, presumably.

Here’s the problem. Transportation projects will make real estate speculators, the construction industry and their bankers very rich unless the government recovers its public spending through windfall site-value gains on property along the right-of-way ...  But Obama’s infrastructure plan is for Wall Street investors to get the windfall – as property owners or as mortgage lenders making much larger loans against the enhanced site value.

The plan would not add to the government deficit,  Obama promised. Unfortunately, in place of government taking more revenue, it will be the finance, insurance and real estate (FIRE) sector that does the taking. The banking system will now do what government was supposed to do back in the Progressive Era: finance infrastructure. The difference today is that instead of funding transportation out of tax proceeds (levied progressively on the wealthy) or by the central bank monetizing public debt, the Obama plan calls for borrowing $50 billion at interest from banks.

The problem is that this will build in high interest charges, high private management charges, underwriting fees – and government guarantees. User fees will need to cover these financial and other privatization costs “freed” from the government budget. This will build about $2 billion a year into the cost of providing the transport services.

This threatens to be the kind of tollbooth program that the World Bank and IMF have been foisting on hapless Third World populations for the past half-century. ... It looks like President Obama sat down with Larry Summers, Tim Geithner and his other Rubinomics holdovers from the Clinton/Goldman-Sachs Administration and asked what policies can be funded without taxing the wealthy, but by borrowing via a separate entity – with a government guarantee like the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac gravy train for Wall Street.


Well, yeah, but at least you don't hear him talking trash about masturbation, do you? That's why we must support him. If we don't, a bunch of kooks who just want serve corporate interests will get into power! Then what will happen?

4. State Secrecy and Official Criminality
Scott Horton at Harper's tells us how Barack Obama -- whom we have every reason to believe is a modern, rational man who has no problem with masturbation -- is diligently, doggedly working to protect not only the torturers of the Bush Administration (and his own) from the legal process, but also any and every kind of state criminality.

Obama has just won a great court victory for state torturers, state murderers, state terrorists -- and good old-fashioned grafters pigging out in the public trough -- when an appeals court voted narrowly to uphold Obama's contention that the government can shield any criminality from justice by crying "state secrets."

Horton quotes the LA Times' description of just what Obama wanted to cover up by killing a civil suit filed by an innocent victim of America's gulag. The victim was suing the CIA agent who had "rendered" him over to America's terror war allies, knowing he would be tortured:

The decision to short-circuit the trial process is more than a misreading of the law; it’s an egregious miscarriage of justice. That’s obvious from a perusal of the plaintiffs’ complaint. One said that while he was imprisoned in Egypt, electrodes were attached to his earlobes, nipples and genitals. A second, held in Morocco, said he was beaten, denied food and threatened with sexual torture and castration. A third claimed that his Moroccan captors broke his bones and cut him with a scalpel all over his body, and poured hot, stinging liquid into his open wounds.


There were no "state secrets," real or otherwise, involved in the case. The details were already known, around the world, from legal proceeding in the UK and elsewhere. But for Obama -- imperial militarist to the core -- there was a matter of principle at stake; i.e., the principle that the imperial court can shield the minions who carry out its ordered atrocities behind the unpassable gates of "state secrets."

Truth? No. Justice? Out. Compassion? Nix. Peace? Never. But masturbation -- sure, why not? We're not kooks like that Christine O'Donnell!

Now that's "progressivism."


Can the US Constitution survive dictator Obama?

June 17, 2009

By Sher Zieve

EXCERPT:

Sher Zieve : There seems to be a growing malaise amongst many US citizens that they can do nothing about Obama’s destruction of the US Constitution — via his ignoring it — and his reconstruction of our republic into his personal fiefdom except complain. With your own filing of the criminal treason complaint against him, you have disproved that belief. How do you suggest each individual proceed toward filing their own treason complaint against him?

Retired Navy Commander Walter Francis Fitzpatrick III: I do not agree there’s a “malaise.” By the way, I hate the word malaise ever since Jimmy Carter uttered it eons ago. Malaise is not what made America great! It just isn’t a thread in the American fabric.

What I see instead is growing frustration, bewilderment, and anger that is the sure product of betrayal. Betrayed by Obama, by the politicians, by the military aristocrats, the judges, the lobbyists, and so it goes…

People, looking for a way to fight back against a totalitarian government rediscovered and then embraced our Constitution.

Mr. Obama’s greatest achievement — to his credit as he heads to prison — will be that he and his criminal assistants awakened an American spirit not seen in my lifetime. People are focused as never before on the Constitution, its words, their meanings, and on how the government is supposed to work. In his attempted murder of the Constitution, Mr. Obama has betrayed himself and his fellow TREASONERS that in great irony will serve to restore the Constitution to its majesty and power. Look around, and take a very close look. Malaise is not what you see.

Given a way to fight back, in the rebirth of the Constitution, We The People are forming Grand Juries like a slowly heating pop-corn machine. Indictments and presentments are already handed down. Advance of the extant federal criminal complaint for TREASON has become frenetic.

Look around…and look close. What you see is MOMENTUM, not malaise.

Folks just needed the tools to get ‘er done. Now, there’re “forming and swarming!” And we are going to prevail. It’s not going to be easy. In truth, the way back to the Constitution is going to be brutal.

But folks are now incited to the Constitution. We just need to keep that fire burning brighter and hotter.

Incite We the People to the Constitution and we’ll be right.

AMERICA, LAND OF THE TREE ©

By James Madison- 2009

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4


ONCE UPON A TIME time there was a beautiful tree. This tree stood out above all the other trees of the forest as the biggest of all. The People of the tree were very proud of the tree they lived in. Over time they became so comfortable in the tree they began to believe nothing could ever stop the tree from holding its stature in the forest. The People of the tree formed a group of fellow tree Dwellers and set them as Watchers of the tree to ensure that all the Dwellers could live as they liked without being bothered.

As time passed, the People of the tree became comfortable with their living and stopped paying attention to the group of Watchers. They went about their daily work so they could build their nests and have the things they wanted, and spent their remaining time seeking to be entertained. They sat around all the days and ate of the fruit of the tree and drank of the water from the leaves and had a grand time playing games and having fun.

The Watchers came to the Dwellers one day and told them that the tree had to be cared for and maintained, and since the Watchers could not do this work they would have to hire others to do it. But, since the Watchers had no fruit of their own to pay for the work, they told the Dwellers that each of them would have to give a very small portion of their fruit to the Watcher who would gather it together and then have enough to pay for the work needed to keep the tree beautiful and standing strong. Since by doing this the dwellers would not have to do the work, they agreed to do it and gave some of their fruit to the Watchers. So the tree was cared for and the Dwellers lived happy lives doing as they pleased.

Now when the Watchers saw how easy it was to convince the Dwellers to give a little of their fruit to them, they thought to tell the Dwellers that more was needed for more work, and they gathered the fruit for themselves and became owners of large portions of fruit. The Watchers became greedy and wanted more and more fruit, and easily convinced the dwellers to give more and more.

Over time the Watchers became so possessed with greed and desire to have power over the tree that they grew unsatisfied with just the fruit given them. They decided to take for themselves pieces of the tree from the base. They began to chop pieces out of the base of the tree. As they gathered the pieces, their greed made them chop away more and more each day.

Honest Joe was a hard working tree Dweller who spent most of his life like the rest of the tree Dwellers, working and building his nest in the tree, and giving his proper portion of fruit to the Watchers. One day Honest Joe was told of a noise coming from the base of the tree. A few of the tree Dwellers saw what the Watchers were doing. It was obvious that this had to be stopped and that the rest of the tree Dwellers had to be told.

It soon became apparent that the People of the tree would not listen. They did not want to think that their beautiful tree could be hurt. It was too strong. They had placed their faith in the Watchers and would not believe they could do such a thing. Instead of looking down to see, they just called the loyal tree Dwellers fools and trouble makers.

For a time, Honest Joe banded together with the Wise Ones, those who knew about what the Watchers were doing. Some of the Wise Ones had known for a long time, and had the same difficulty getting the People to wake up. The Wise Ones had many meeting to discuss what to do. Some would say, “We need to go to the top of the tree and shout down to the Dwellers”. Others would say, “No, we need to stand low in the tree and shout up – look here, see what the Watchers are doing.” And others would say they needed to go to the east, or west, or north, or south.

Honest Joe said, “Look, we see the Watchers down there with an axe chopping away at the tree. Let us go down immediately ourselves and stop them.” But the Wise Ones said “You do not know what you are saying. Can you tell us what size the axe is? Can you tell us what kind of wood the handle is made of? You do not even know how big the chips are that come off the tree with each blow. What makes you think you can give Wise Ones advice? You need to just sit there and listen and learn while we talk about this. Some day we will find the answer.

So Honest Joe kept going to meetings and listening to the Wise Ones. He heard them saying that the Dwellers had to stop this illegal action in a legal way. He listened to the Wise Ones debate for months about what to do and how to do it. He heard the talk about more meeting in the future, more important than the last, but saw fewer and fewer People at each meeting. It seemed obvious that the Wise Ones would never learn to do more than debate over who had the best idea. And every day he watched the chips fly more and more. He soon became aware that nothing would be done before the big tree fell, so he went to his home and started to do everything he could to prepare for the fall of the tree, and prayed he would survive it.

Honest Joe is now silent, watching and waiting for the rest of the tree Dwellers and Wise Ones to decide to act. If it is not too late, he will join them again if they decide to DO something to stop the Watchers before the tree falls. He no longer speaks his ideas to be ridiculed and rejected. He studies to learn and hopes to one day be smart enough to be a Wise One, knowing what to say and how to say it, and to be able to be heard. Perhaps in time, after he has taken on the Watchers and served his time in the battlefield against them, he will be considered someone whose ideas have substance.

Honest Joe knows that there are enough Wise Ones and tree Dwellers out there to stop the Watchers if they just come together as a People and do it. But until they do, there will only be more talk that accomplishes nothing.

THE CHIPS ARE FLYING PEOPLE.

THE TREE IS COMING DOWN!!!

THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER

THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!!

Another Reason We Need the Continental Congress

Think about what could be considered the “ordinary, average” American adult of the last 70 years. Now let’s break that group in ½, the first ½ of them becoming adults from 1930 to 1965 & those others reaching adulthood between 1965 & today.

The older, first group suffered through the Great Depression or were raised by parents who did. That national cataclysm had much to do with the way they acted, worked, conserved. It taught them resourcefulness, tenacity, & an appreciation for what then earned & had. These people learned first hand what it meant to go without jobs, education, a car, indoor plumbing, & even food. This gave them that enormous appreciation to simply be able to have the wherewithal for life while they earned everything they got. Life taught them that the most important things any American can possess are a job, a home, a family, integrity, responsibility, self-reliance, religious faith, & a deep appreciation for America’s Founders, the documents they wrote, & what they stood for.

Another dire event that undoubtedly had great impact on their state of mind is that so many of them learned what it meant to join the military to fight for the very survival of America. They suffered no doubts that undeterred, the Kaiser, the Furher, the Emperor, Mussolini, Stalin or others would invade, take over &/or wipe out the United States forever if they did not act. They fought, bled, killed & died in direct response to actual threats to the survival of America.

All this made them tough, dedicated Americans who believed they spent their lives to make the world a better, safer place to leave to the second ½ of the above group, those who have come of age since 1965, to which I belong.

It can probably be said that we of the 2nd group have had our moments. Clearly, it can be said that our generosity to those in need is unprecedented in world history. More on that below. The wars in which we have found ourselves have not been as cut & dry as those previous. Aside perhaps from our incursion into Afghanistan after 9/11, the wars we’ve been asked to fight have been mostly to protect, save or defend others.

The Vietnam era spawned a rebellious counter-culture that has been our main defining factor. We were born into so much privilege & plenty that was just handed to us, that we seem to have no compunction about throwing or giving it away. No one can say we are not generous & compassionate, but we are reckless & foolish as well. We are attempting to stand on principles without the courage or conviction to enforce them. This is merely slowing our demise.

We have permitted the election of people who, while they are giving away our sovereignty, money, & property, they are taking our industries, liberties, rights & self-rule. We all know the specifics. And what are we doing about it other than quoting law, pounding our fists into our hands & screaming that they must operate by the rules? We are shooting ourselves in the foot, that’s what; & here is how. There are two supposed political parties; the Marxist/ socialist Democrat Party, & the liberal/spineless Republican Party. The Marxists are getting what they vote for, re; higher taxes, government control of citizens & business, rule of lawyers instead of law, no borders, etc. In other words, they vote for fascism. Conservatives who vote Republican get EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS!

So what do we do? Some, like me, vote for the conservative of another party. We vote the liberal bums out. Now what? A Marxist fills the seat. I’ve had discussions with those who advocated throwing out the liberal Republicans. We’ve done that. Now all that are left are a couple Marxist RINOs, a few real conservatives, & an enormous cesspool of socialists run by a mafia boss & his crime syndicate. Welcome to 21st century America.

Again, what do we do? First we must accept that the Republican Party as it is currently constituted wants no part of conservatives. They are looking for the liberal likes of John McCain, Colin Powell, & others who will quietly assist the dissolution of our Constitution. If we seriously want to return to our Constitutional form of government, we are going to have to mount campaigns through parties that have not been infiltrated by liberals & socialists. We can’t just vote them out without replacing them with a patriot (statesman). That’s like replacing a severed foot with a cinder block; it may prop you up for now but it will make your life miserable.

We must do more than vote. We must do more than whine. We must do more than demand our rights (petition) because no one is going to give them back without a fight. We had better start or join a nuclear conservative party & get conservatives elected soon or our descendants will never know the free, constitutional, capitalistic America that was handed to us.

North Dakota House Passes HR59 for State Sovereignty
Posted on April 10th, 2009 by David-Crockett

Tenth Amendment Center logo

On April 7, 2009, the North Dakota House of Representatives passed House Concurrent Resolution 59 (HR59) “affirming North Dakota’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and to demand the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and imposing mandates on the states for purposes not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States.”

The final vote tally was 52-40. See the votes here. (http://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/61-2009/journals/hr59.pdf#Page1184)

Here’s some excerpt text of the resolution:

A concurrent resolution affirming North Dakota’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and to demand the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and imposing mandates on the states for purposes not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States.

WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reads as follows: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people”; and

WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment defines the total scope of federal power as being that specifically granted by the Constitution of the United States and no more; and

WHEREAS, the scope of power defined by the 10th Amendment means that the federal government was created by the states specifically to be an agent of the states; and

WHEREAS, in 2009 the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government; and

WHEREAS, many powers assumed by the federal government and federal mandates are directly in violation of the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the 10th Amendment assures that we, the people of the United States of America and each sovereign state in the Union of States, now have, and have always had, rights the federal government may not usurp; and

WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court ruled in New York v. United States, 112 S. Ct. 2408 (1992) that Congress may not simply commandeer the legislative and regulatory processes of the states; and

WHEREAS, a number of proposals from previous administrations and some now pending from the present administration and from Congress may further violate the Constitution of the United States;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF NORTH DAKOTA, THE SENATE CONCURRING THEREIN: That the Sixty-first Legislative Assembly affirms this state’s sovereignty under the 10th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States and demands the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated in the Constitution of the United States


The Rise of the American Patriot

Exclusive for TexasDarlin

(Author’s note: This article kept growing…and it marks, at last, the beginning of my emergence from the morass of obama that has consumed my efforts in the last several months.  In part this is designed to elicit a long-term dialogue about building our toolbox for reclaiming our Constitutional Republic…NOW!  Free America!)

W E  D I D  IT !!

We unmasked them all (ok, most of them): Soetoro-Obama, the DNC, the democratic party and its rotting infrastructure, the ‘false feminists’, the racists, CDS, the so-called ‘fourth estate’, the false republicans, “blog-trash”, the bots, trolls and idiots, the unbelievable connections, and the most obvious money-men. Most importantly, we uncovered the lies, psychology, deceptions, strategies, and Alinsky tactics used on the American people to place Soetoro-Obama in the White House.

Soetoro-Obama said he was an empty vessel to fill with dreams…now we know that when he fills that vessel with your dreams, he will exploit and then bury them. What he says, look for the opposite.

Each individual that read, blogged, investigated, pondered, and anguished over this sad exposure of corruption came to a certain point: do I belong to my party or my Country? You can imagine the same question before our Founding Fathers and citizenry: am I a Tory, a Whig, or am I part of a new country? The Patriots born then, and their words, actions, and sacrifices– that have been such inspiration to our research– have given rise to the new American Patriot.

And now, just because of a few American Patriots, that Trojan Candidate lies all disassembled on the floor, now a mere humpty dumpty. We see the pieces and have no intention of putting him back together again. What is he to do??
