Most of the senior Islamic Iranian Mullahs attended Lumumba University in Moscow and were indoctrinated into Marxist principles by the then Soviet Union even though the atheist Communist society was in stark contrast with a repressive "religion" based on Allah.
In fact the two "isms" Communism and Mohammadenism (as the Islamists were named for manu centuries) closely resemble each other in methods of rule by force by an oligarchy of a few (clerics or Kommisars) and suppression of human rights and all freedoms, leaving only obedience, specially for women that would lead to democracy.
Islam recognizes no authority nor allegiance but Allah and thus is not capable of following democratic political policies, recognizing nationalities, sovereign borders nor any of the principles that are part and parcel of a free Western society.
Oba-Hussein, the American Khomeini, though still short of the Ayatollah Khomeini blood baths, is implementing the worst of both Islam and Communism inside the USA - BUT IN SMALLER INCREMENTS. We are just being choked in a slower fashion rather than being annihilated in a bloody putsch.
With a cowardly "marine" Judge Carter failing the country and history by caving to the Obama camp and refusing to address 300 million instead of 69 million, and defend the Constitution, the only recourse that seems to be appearing in people's minds is to "take to the streets in protest" - as did the protestors against the Iranian usurper president Ahmadi-Nejad in a parallel fashion.
Will Obama's riot troops he has been training, or foreign U.N. soldiers he has in mind to bring in to control "we the people" in Georgia also kill us as did the Ayatollah regime Revolutionary Guards in Iran for the past 30-years at every sign of protest? When suppression did not work as well as they hoped and hundreds of thousands preished at their hands and millions fled the country to the corners of the FREE world?
I know quite a few people, including ex-patriate Iranians, who having lived through the Iranian Khomeini's revolution and fled to survive - are now searching for somewhere else to find shelter from the American Islamic-Marxist Oba-Hussein-Khomeini.
They clearly recognize what is happening here while most of our citizens have no clue of the danger descending on them. They simply cannot envisage nor recognize it.
Some are waking up and the Tea Parties could be precursors to civil disobedience and resisance to the power grab and removal of our free speech and freedoms. Not far behind in the footsteps of what has happened in Iran.
Bloodshed or lack of it depends on the degree of oppression or even violence with which the rights of "we the people" are trampled by the Administration in their power grab of every aspect of our lives.
If you have never been gang raped in an Iranian prison, you cannot truly imagine the pain, horror and loss that follows. So when a possible gang rape comes at you, you have no way of evaluating it, or knowing what it is.
Thus "we the American" people have no bench marks by which to evaluate what Oba-Hussein is bringing down on us with his Marxist-Islamist Chicago thuggery. We simply cannot believe this is happening and so continueplacidly in full denial.
Those of us who were hurt, harmed or had their near and dear killed in the 1979 Iran Revolution or experienced the Soviet, Chinese, Cuban or even the still comparatively mild Venezuelan power grabs KNOW what is happening and weep for the imminent, on-going demise of the USA. Which so many of us love or in which we have found shelter from brutality elsewhere.
Just as Pesident teh idiot Jimmy Carter used the Ayatollah Khomeini to destroy sanity and life and structure in Iran, Globalization forces are using Oba-Hussein to destroy America, which stands/stood in the way of the global government under the United Nations or the Islamic Caliphate under Islam and sharia law. Or a hybrid of these two.
America, you are looking at this but NOT seeing, nor recognizing what you see.
We may already be past the point of rescue and a fearful Judge Carter has thrown us all under the bus by shutting down the only thin thread of salvation that could have saved us. Short of coming out in the streets and encountering deadly force.
LINK AND ANOTHER COPY IN CASE ORIGINAL DISAPPEARS AGAIN
She is from the city of Babol and activism has been in her family for a long while. Her mother was/is a member of the National Front (Jephe Melli) a leftist student organization, which opposed the late Shah and helped General Teymour Bakhtiar (deceased) send terrorists into Iran against the Shah before the 1979 revolution.
The NF was partly responsible for the Khomeini revolution and this young activist's clothes, while following an Islamic modesty, include a stylized East German hat from one of the former operating centers of the National Front. And served, for quite a while, as a recognition item for left-wing or Communist adherents.
WITH WHAT'S GOING ON IN AMERICA WITH OBA-HUSSEIN-KHOMEINI, WILL WE BE DESCRIBING THE "UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA" IN SIMILAR WORDS AND ASKING FOR FREEDOM TO RETURN TO THE LAND?
Was this decision actually written for Carter by his new Law Clerk brought in by him from Obama's defense law firm?
I find the decision disappointing but there is something good to take from it. That is the conclusion that the Plaintiff candidates were harmed. I think the justiciability prong can be turned around since Carter created a false premise to justify his lack of justiciability. We all know he does not have jurisdiction to impeach Obama. What he does have jurisdiction and a duty to do is interpret the Constitution.
The Legislative Branch does not have the jurisdiction or ability to interpret the Constitution.
All Judge Carter should have done is apply Obama’s facts (after conducting a hearing) to the natural born citizen term in the Second Amendment. The district court has exclusive jurisdiction and the duty to interpret the Constitution which he should have done.
Then, the Legislative Branch would be required to take action based on whatever the court’s interpretation was.
On appeal, this distinction must be highlighted.

CARTER CAVES!! - what a travesty. And how badly I misjudged the man in my previous post. He should be ashamed to call himself a Marine and have folded in such a cowardly fashion that puts so many military in jepoardy.
He stated the following in his decision:
“Therefore, for the reasons stated above, Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: October 29, 2009”
It looks like the Judge has been had. He granted the motion to dismiss the suit against Obama, stating that over 69 million people wanted the Obamamessiah and he wouldn’t overthrow him. In saying so, he is also saying that The Constitution is no longer in effect — and he used a bogus Constitutional argument to do it.
“Plaintiffs request asking this Court to sweep away the votes of over sixty-nine million Americans with the stroke of a pen and order a new election during which the country would be in a state of turmoil, ignores the Constitution’s processes and separation of powers that were developed by the founders.”
Alan Note: UNLESS HE IS SURE THAT OBAMA IS A FRAUD, HIS TAKING THE CASE FORWARD DID NOT NECESSARILY MEAN HE WOULD BE NEGATING THOSE MILLIONS OF VOTES.
THIS INDICATES TO ME CARTER WAS SURE OBAMA WOULD BE FOUND INELIGIBLE!
What Carter said:
• It’s OK to ignore Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of the U. S. Constitution.
• Votes trump the U. S. Constitution.
• The U. S. Constitution does not allow the judicial branch to interfere in a coup d’etat.
The fix was in. Velamoor probably brought Judge Carter’s ruling with him from Perkins Coie.
UPDATE: BOY WAS I WRONG ABOUT JUDGE CARTER IN THIS ARTICLE!!!!!
FORMER PREZ JIMMY THE IDIOT CARTER STARTED ALL OUR CHALLENGES LEADING TO THIS TODAY AND JUDGE DAVID CARTER, MADE SURE IT CONTINUES TO THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR WHOLE COUNTRY!
CALM, REASONED VIEW (DUAL VIDEOS) AT THE END HERE BY ALAN KEYES, EXPLAINING WHY HE IS ASKING JUDGE CARTER TO HELP ESTABLISH LEGALLY, BY AN EXAMINATION OF SUBSTANTIATED FACTS, (ON THE MERITS) THAT OBAMA HAS ELIGIBILITY TO RESIDE IN THE WHITE HOUSE - WHATEVER PROVES TO BE THE ACTUAL RESULT.
This information about Judge Carter's new Legal Clerk has heads scratching BUT they may not know Judge Carter as well as I THINK I do:
And now that we learned last night that White House Communication Director Anita Dunn's HUSBAND, Robert Bauer, is going to become the White House's Chief Legal Counsel — the SAME Robert Bauer who is Chair of the Political Law Group of Perkins Coie with whom Siddharth Velamoor is also a MEMBER not partner — well, all of the other pieces regarding the Obama v Keyes case and Siddharth Velamoor's placement as a Legal Clerk with Judge Carter (who's likely unaware of the conflict-of-interest) are coming together now.
If you believe Judge Carter to be an honorable man, a patriotic Marine, who swore an oath to defend the Consititution and a solid member of the federal judiciary, who has faced death threats when he undertook a case against the highly LETHAL Mexican Mafia, then you will also believe that he would not
allow the Founding Document to be shredded by anyone for any reason.
On that basis alone, public reaction that he hired an "enemy camp" person for his team and thus created a conflict of interests - or lack of impartiality toward Alan Keyes and Orly Taitz or Gary Kreep and their clients, does not ring true.
Even with the obvious consideration that he has been pressured into finding a way out for himself and chose this "conflict" one to recuse himself at a later date.
Or, as many fear, be so influenced by a junior, "opposing camp" lawyer that he dismisses the case.
Here is a more honorable analysis for his action:
1. He wants to ensure that his decision is NOT tainted by any accusation of bias against Obama on appeal by either side. Specially the Obama lawyers.
2. With the enormous import of this decision to try the case on its merits, he needs to :
a) Get his legal facts straight as far beyond challenge as anything can be.
b) Get an experienced political law thinker to do the research that the Obama side would use. (The new law clerk would function as this "knowledgeable" person).
c) Use the research to balance or offset his own forming conclusions.
d) Find contradictions or conflicts, if any, to the research he is provided by the new Law Clerk by tasking other sources to examine and confront them.
d) Provide himself with a bullet proof logic for whatever decision he reaches about dismissing or not dismissing.
e) With that solid footing to do what needs to be done for the country according to the Constitution. Not politics.
f) Without fear of consequences such as Obama supporters rioting.
g) Without fearing the temporary political chaos of defending the Constitution, requiring straightening out of laws and orders, appointments etc.
h) Nor concern that many, like Pelosi or Reid might be felons alongside Obama if the jury decides he is ineligible and perpetrated fraud on the nation with their assistance of negligence.
NOTE: He is NOT obliged to simultaneously pursue Quo Waranto (removal of Obama) in the primary case which would serve ONLY to establish eligibility. The next step, which might have to be filed in Washington D.C., could be step two and dealt with as appropriate.
3. The final chapter would be to try to legally PREVENT Obama pardoning himself nor Joe Biden, or Pelosi or anyone in the chain of succession doing so if acting as President. The reasonin/logic would be that they were co-conspirators (willing or unwillinig) of Obama's and illegible to do so.
Would you not prefer Judge Carter took his time, used his expertise as a complex case judge, used the political research experience of his new Law Clerk as a foil to the opposing side and arrived at a decision he can defend as just, even handed and viable instead of hurrying and dumping the case off the cliff?
Meanwhile, a look back at what went on October 5th, 2009 i sdescribed by this misive from Gary Krep, who whule trying to take al the credit, does present the case situation fairly well:
From The Desk Of Gary G. Kreep
Dear Friend of the Constitution,
Barack Hussein Obama is not happy! When his taxpayer paid U. S. Department of Justice (”DOJ”) attorneys walked into court on October 5, 2009, expecting United States Federal District Court Judge David Carter to immediately dismiss the birth certificate case, he did not get his way! Their legal arguments were hollow and unconvincing. and after hearing hours of argument, Judge Carter “took the matter under submission.” He has still not issued a ruling, 14 days later!
According to the DOJ Attorneys: The President Is Above the Law and the Courts!
The DOJ attorneys told the Judge that no Court in the United States had the right to rule on whether Barack Hussein Obama was eligible to serve as President of the United States! In their view, he could only be impeached and/or disqualified from the Office of President under the 25th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution.
THIS IS NOT TRUE! As USJF pointed out to the Court, both in our pleadings and in our oral presentation at the hearing, both the impeachment statutes, and the 25th Amendment require a sitting President. However, if Mr. Obama is not eligible to serve as President, he could not be, and never was, a sitting President, so those options for removal could not apply. Therefore the courts would have jurisdiction.
Monday, October 5, 2009, , at 8:30 a.m., in California, was a critical milestone for our entire legal and public relations effort to force Barack Obama to produce his birth certificate, as well as other documents, to prove whether he is eligible to serve as President of the United States. And with your support USJF was able to be there to argue the case.
This case has an excellent chance to survive the Department of Justice (”DOJ”) motion to dismiss, and it what has proven to be the best chance for America to have a hearing on the merits on this critical Constitutional issue.
What happened that day in Court? It’s very simple—the DOJ attorneys brought up every argument that they could to try to persuade the Court to dismiss this case
USJF provided sound legal arguments against all of the DOJ legal theories, and we were the only ones to do so; otherwise the whole case could have been over right then and there! The USJF oral arguments at the hearing may well be the difference between this case surviving or being dismissed.
The Judge raised issues critical to our case:
1. Did U.S. Senators question the eligibility of Mr. Obama? (Only USJF was able to tell the Court that Senators Coburn and Shelby and a number of House of Representative members had done so.)
2. Were objections made by Members of Congress when the vote of the Electoral College was certified? (Only USJF was able to tell the Court that NO, then Vice-President Cheney had not performed his required duty of asking for objections, so there could have been none raised.)
DOJ attorneys also argued that only Congress, and/or the Electoral College, could decide on the eligibility of Mr. Obama. Fortunately, the USJF legal team, and only the USJF legal team, filed pleadings pointing out that the DOJ legal arguments in this regard WERE WRONG! And, I was there to argue against those false claims.
People at the hearing and those who have found out what happened there since have been contacting USJF, thanking us for standing up for the truth!
But the fight is not over yet! We expect a ruling from the Court any day now. If we defeat the dismissal motion, then we’re immediately filing pleadings (”discovery”) seeking Mr. Obama’s birth certificate, his college records, and much, much more. AND, we’ll be seeking to depose Mr. Obama ASAP!
And if the Court grants the motion to dismiss, we’ll be immediately filing an appeal of the decision!
Judge Carter has set a trial date of January 26, 2010 in this case. To keep that date, we need to defeat the DOJ dismissal motion, and then, IMMEDIATELY, move right into the discovery phase discussed above. WE WILL NEED TO:
Retain attorneys in Washington, D. C., to take the Obama deposition.
Retain attorneys in Hawaii to take the deposition of those in control of the Obama birth records and school records.
Take the deposition of Occidental, College officials to obtain Obama school records.
Retain attorneys in Massachusetts to take the deposition of Harvard. Law School officials to obtain Obama school records there.
Pay the cost of the court reporters for all of these depositions. Plus,
Pay the cost of serving the subpoenas on the various witnesses.
We expect the DOJ, as well as Mr. Obama’s private attorneys, to fight us every step of the way! Mr. Obama’s attorneys will file motions to block the depositions in each and every state, and the District of Columbia, trying to block us from obtaining the truth at every turn !
Question the issue of the passport files of Mr. Obama! We’re going after the records of how he traveled abroad without a United States Passport in the 1980’s, as he admits doing.
Question the issue of his alleged adoption by his step-father in Indonesia! We’ll be seeking records about that also!
Resolve questions about his Selective Service files! We’ll be seeking records concerning that also!
But, first, we have to get past the DOJ dismissal motion!
The DOJ’s motion to dismiss also claims that our clients have no “standing,” and that the matter is “political.”
But, if we as citizens of the United States have no “standing” to verify the citizenship of the man occupying the White House, who does? If our Federal Courts have no jurisdiction to hear this case, who does? It’s not a “political” question, it’s a CONSTITUTIONAL question!
Last November, people said we were crazy to pursue this issue. Now, we’ve been shown to be right in our pursuit of the truth. It’s not just the original birth certificate that they’re refusing to release.
Barack Obama’s legal team has spent, according to published reports, over $1.4 million dollars so far to STOP anyone from seeing ANY of his actual identification documents, and many other documents.
WHAT is Barack Obama trying to hide? WHAT is he afraid of? WHY doesn’t he just release these documents to prove if he is a natural-born citizen and therefore qualified to be president — especially his actual birth certificate?
When Barack Obama officially entered the office of President, he became, in essence, apparently, a “pretender to the throne.” According to the Constitution, only a “natural born citizen” can occupy the presidency.
Even though he was sworn in on January 20, 2009, Barack Obama is NOT legally the President of the United States, unless he can prove that he is a “natural born citizen.”
What’s more, every action taken by him while he occupies the White House may be invalid. If he cannot legally be President, every law passed by Congress will be null and void because the Constitution clearly requires that all laws be signed by the President... and, without a legally elected and sworn in President in office, that becomes an impossibility.
This Constitutional crisis must be ended! And it must be ended NOW!
And that’s just what we’re fighting to do. The United States Justice Foundation is spearheading a campaign to protect the United States Constitution... and your liberty.
We have to press our case to stop Barack Obama from, apparently, illegally holding the Presidency, despite the ongoing threats against us. We are speaking of filing additional lawsuits and administrative actions, over and above the dozens already filed, if you will help us today.
Are you willing to see the Constitution shredded by the Left? Will you sit back and do nothing while a foreign-born person may be illegally occupying the White House as President of the United States?
Our country is on the fast track to disaster. This is the biggest political cover-up in American history! It would be so simple to release the documents to PROVE Obama is a natural-born citizen… IF THEY HAD THE DOCUMENTS!
America has never before faced such a threat. Everything we hold dear is at risk with Barack Obama sitting as President without him releasing his actual birth certificate, plus the dozens of other documents that he refuses to produce.
Please remember that we are fighting in the California Appellate Court system.
Barack Hussein Obama thinks he can get away with DUPING the American people and DESTROYING the U.S. Constitution.
This attitude put in place last year in one State now broadens with new efforts to suppress any dissent or criticism of Oba-Hussein, his people or his or their IDEOLOGIES - Islamic-Marxism or lunatic fringe mind sets. All of which will fall under hate crime legislation slipped into the Military Budget he signed today and into the changes of the Human Rights Declaration at the United nations, where only Moslems are allowed to talk about Islam let alone find fault with it! That would be abuse of human rights.

Alan Note:another case to obtain facts about Obama's eligibility rests with Federal District Judge David O. Carter in Santa Ana, California but appears to be in a state of limbo. He has taken the request to dismiss the case, filed by Orly Taitz, by Obama's attorneys under submission but has not stayed with his original indication that he would make a ruling a few days later in early October.
He has, however, set a pre-trial date of January 11th, 2010 and a jury trial date of January 26th, 2010
By WorldNetDaily
A case alleging Congress failed in its constitutional duties by refusing to investigate the eligibility of Barack Obama to be president has been sent on appeal to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
WND previously reported when a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit filed by Charles F. Kerchner Jr. and others against Congress.
Attorney Mario Apuzzo filed the action in January on behalf of Kerchner, Lowell T. Patterson, Darrell James Lenormand and Donald H. Nelson Jr. Named as defendants were Barack Hussein Obama II, the U.S., Congress, the Senate, House of Representatives and former Vice President Dick Cheney along with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The case focuses on the alleged failure of Congress to follow the Constitution. That document, the lawsuit states, "provides that Congress must fully qualify the candidate 'elected' by the Electoral College Electors."
The case asserts "when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same."
The Constitution provides, the lawsuit says, "If the president-elect shall have failed to qualify, then the vice president elect shall act as president until a president shall have qualified."
"There existed significant public doubt and grievances from plaintiffs and other concerned Americans regarding Obama's eligibility to be president and defendants had the sworn duty to protect and preserve the Constitution and specifically under the 20th Amendment, Section 3, a Constitutional obligation to confirm whether Obama, once the electors elected him, was qualified," the case explained.
The attorney now has posted online a notice of his appeal to the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia.
"Through his dismissal, Judge Simandle avoided having to reach the merits of the question of whether Obama is an Article II 'natural born citizen' and eligible for the office of president and commander in chief," Apuzzo said.
"We allege that Obama has not conclusively proven that he was born in Hawaii. More importantly, we also allege that he is not an Article II 'natural born Citizen' because when Obama was born his father was a British subject/citizen and Obama himself was the same."
The lawyer said it is important that the court did not rule Obama was born in Hawaii, nor did it rule that the claim was frivolous.
It simply said the case was dismissed because of a jurisdiction issue.
"By the court finding that plaintiffs do not have standing and that their claims present a political question, the court was able to avoid having to address the underlying merits of the Kerchner case. With such a decision, the American people unfortunately still do not know where Obama was born and whether he is an Article II 'natural born Citizen' and therefore constitutionally eligible to be president and commander in chief," the attorney said.
"A court cannot refuse to hear a case on the merits merely because it prefers not to due to grave social or political ramifications," he continued. "The court's opinion dismissing the Kerchner complaint/petition did not address the real Kerchner case but rather looked for a way to dismiss the case without having to reach the merits of the question of whether Obama is an Article II 'natural born citizen.'
"The American people deserve to know whether Obama was in fact born in Hawaii. More importantly, even if he is born in Hawaii, given that he was born with dual allegiance and citizenship, the American people deserve to know whether he is an Article II 'natural born citizen' which would make him eligible to be president," the attorney said.
WND had reported only days earlier when Kerchner publicly argued that the courts have an obligation to make a decision on Obama's eligibility.
He wrote, "The federal courts and judges are committing treason to the Constitution by not taking jurisdiction and getting to the merits in the various cases before them regarding the Article II eligibility clause question for Obama."
He said his basis for such a statement is the opinion of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, who wrote in an 1821 case, Cohens vs. Virginia:
"It is most true that this court will not take jurisdiction if it should not: but it is equally true, that it must take jurisdiction if it should. The judiciary cannot, as the legislature may, avoid a measure because it approaches the confines of the constitution. We cannot pass it by because it is doubtful. With whatever doubts, with whatever difficulties, a case may be attended, we must decide it, if it be brought before us.
We have no more right to decline the exercise of jurisdiction which is given, than to usurp that which is not given. The one or the other would be treason to the constitution. Questions may occur which we would gladly avoid; but we cannot avoid them. All we can do is, to exercise our best judgment, and conscientiously to perform our duty. In doing this, on the present occasion, we find this tribunal invested with appellate jurisdiction in all cases arising under the constitution and laws of the United States.
We find no exception to this grant, and we cannot insert one."
Kerchner added, "The … judges in the … cases should simply read the words of U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Marshall from the past and take jurisdiction of the constitutional question of the Article II eligibility clause in the Constitution and proceed to a fact finding hearing and trial on the merits.
The obvious answer should be "of course"! But actions rather than empty Obama House words put this to the lie.
Has he simply given up?
Or does he see this as useful events for his power grab. Remember his Administration philosophy, as declared by Rahm Emanuel, is no crisis should go to waste - even one they allow to happen or purposely manufacture!
Unlike the Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini who had hundreds of thousands killed on his orders, will our Oba-Hussein-Khomeini simply outsource the task to terrorists he alllows into the USA, including the myriads he is importing OPENLY?
Paying for their training by U.S. military and providing millions to improve their technology, which they can/will turn against us.
This site was established to oppose and remove the bloody, murderous clerical regime in Islamic Iran but now it is hard to distinguish the Mullah supporting, terrorist friendly, Oba-Hussein administration from the Mullahs and our Islamic enemies!
Looking at whom Oba-Hussein has chosen and put into places of power at the Obama House, you get the feel of how weird and corrupt policies slide along as normal activity.

“Denying the Green Revolution” (Wall Street Journal, October 23 2009) reports that Barack Obama’s State Department has cut funding for Freedom House, the bipartisan organization that reports on freedom and human rights throughout the world, because it publishes material critical of Iran’s murderous regime. Freedom House was founded largely by Franklin Roosevelt, and Eleanor Roosevelt was its honorary chairman. As reported by the Wall Street Journal article,
The Boston Globe reported this month that the Connecticut-based Iran Human Rights Documentation Center recently lost its State Department funding. The Center—a nonpartisan group that documents Iran’s human-rights abuses—had received $3 million over the past five years. It will shut down in May, said Executive Director Renee Redman, unless private donors save it.
Less widely known is that Freedom House, the nonpartisan watchdog group founded in 1941, also lost State Department funding. It applied in April for significant funds to support initiatives including Gozaar, its Farsi-English online journal of democracy and human rights, and was turned down in July. Since 2006, Freedom House had received over $2 million from the U.S. and European governments for Iran-related efforts. “We might have to close Gozaar if we run out of money,” deputy executive director Thomas O. Melia told us this week.
The reason for these otherwise inexplicable funding cuts is the fact that Barack Obama wishes to placate Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by silencing critics of Iran’s human rights records and plans for nuclear war.
The President of the United States has therefore made himself the accomplice of murderous dictators who just sentenced three people to death for protesting the Iranian “election,” as well as religious judges who sentence women to be stoned to death or to be raped by prison guards prior to their execution.
“There has been a view within the Obama administration at a senior policy level that this Iran democracy program is a chit, and a chit that can be traded away to the Iranian regime,” says J. Scott Carpenter, a State Department official under George W. Bush. As Iran expert and human-rights advocate Mariam Memarsadeghi told us, the Obama team sees the democratic movement “as a wrench in the works of nuclear negotiations.”
Barack Obama is an empty suit who stands for no values or principles whatsoever.
Alan note: Except the doubtful "principle" to feed his narcisstic, Marxist-Islamic self-gratification at any cost to anyone else or the USA! Nearly 300 U.S. soldiers have been killed since more troops were requested for Afghanistan and he has refused to make a decision.
With his submit or die philosophy he has ordered the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to review cancelling Fox News' broadcast license!
Vicious, spiteful, Ahmadi-Nejad style, five-year old child-bully mentality running the Obama House? Judge for yourself.
If Hillary Clinton stood for anything, she would meanwhile resign as Secretary of State rather than carry out these directives. “I was only following orders” doesn’t quite make it, Hillary.
MUST WATCH PART TWO AND NEXT ONES OF THE VIDEO WHICH LOAD AUTOMATICALLY
So far 1,000 people have died this 'flu season in the USA from Swine 'flu, compared to the annual deaths of about 30,000 EACH YEAR from regular 'flu! But Oba-Hussein is scaremongering to implement a forced control of Americans by military force.
Just as the Mass Media turned on him over Fox News, is he making another error by pushing the military card to a point where they stop obeying him? Realizing it is political ploy and not even constitutional?
The recently elected Democratic President of the United States can’t fill a room in bluest Massachusetts. Surveying the nearly half-empty Westin Copley ballroom, 2008 “Yes We Can” Hope-and-Changer Barack Obama says on behalf of his longtime political doppelganger Deval Patrick, who in 2006 was the “Together We Can” template O drew on:
“There really should be no doubt that this guy gets a second term. But let’s be honest. This is going to be a tough race … ”
Boston Herald. Geez. I’m sure Deval is glad to have the $600,000 grand, but maybe Barry should have done him a favor and stayed in D.C. To avoid the Bush-like embarrassment of low turnout and protestors. And we aren’t even a year into the first term yet.
Boston Globe helpfully plays down and buries five long graphs down but can’t quite ignore Obama’s low draw. We’ll get to that eventually, like they did. First, It was all about lowering expectations. And keeping the insider positioned as an outsider:
Sweeping into town for the fund-raiser and to deliver a speech on clean energy at MIT, Obama said Patrick deserves credit for implementing near-universal health care, investing in education, and making the alternative energy and biotech industries a priority. If voters fail to recognize this hard work in next year’s state election, the president said, it will not bode well for the United States.
I’m sorry. It was about lowering expectations and claiming dire consequences for the very nation itself if the agenda doesn’t get pushed. Maybe what he means is, 2010 losses won’t bode well for US … as in “we” … in 2012. Because, he suggests, it will effectively render him a lame duck.
Otherwise, Obama said, other political leaders will say “then maybe I shouldn’t, as a member of Congress or as a senator, take some chances and take some tough stands in pursuit of that same vision.’’
Damn, for an early first-term mandate holder, he’s not sounding very confident. But facing addressing all those empty chairs in blue Mass must have been disheartening. (SPECIALLY to our Narcissist in Chief who believes it's all about him)
He tried to silence Humana when they sent out a warning to their members about the dangers of the health care plan, his Congressional cohorts removed mailing priviliges when Republicans tried to send out a comment to their constituents, he banned Fox News from being included in interviewing one of his czars (until the other networks said they would not participate if Fox were not allowed in. So he backed down!
While our soldiers get killed in Afghanistan, instead of listening to the EXPERT military (Obambi is TOTALLY ignorant on the subject ) the Marxist-Islamist jaunts off to Copenhagen to make money for his friends Mayor Daley, and his favorite Iran born advisor Valerie.
His equally corrupt Senate leader changes the locks on his meeting room and BANS any Republican senators or their staff from knowing what is being secretly written into the healthcare disaster.
He has global desires which means he has just ordered his Adminstration to cede our sovereignty to an international CLIMATE CHANGE organization that can OVERRIDE the USA governmment to implement their international mandate (just an excuse to wield their power) - ask Lord Monckton of Britain.
Already diagnosed publicly as a narcissist, he has proved himself a pathological even vicious liar who will say anything to try to fool us and have his way.
European and Russian leaders already consider him without merit and an incapable, arrogant person concerned only with self-aggrandisement and purposely destroying American to open the path for a global government in which he imagines he will play a leading role, for talking and talking and telling lies whenever he opens his mouth.
With Britain being buried by Islamists to where showing national pride or the Britsh Union Jack flag is being increasingly banned to avoid offending other come-lately ethnicities, many of them born in England but not British in their minds, the same RESTRICTIONS are appearing in the USA (read on).

New American Truth

In this article we read about an apartment complex where the management has ordered residents to take down all flags. And while they say this applies to ALL flags – including sports penants, etc – they seem to be specifically targeting those flying American flags and are justifying their requirement for flags to be taken down because they’re worried the flags might offend someone in the culturally mixed community.
EXCUSE ME? This IS the United States of America, right? And we’re worried – ANYONE is worried – that flying an American Flag here might offend someone? Let me extend a cordial offer to anyone who is currently residing in the United States and is offended by the sight of an American flag: Go back to your own country or wherever else you think might be better.
Now, don’t misunderstand. I’m not a person who SO loves the flag that I’ll go out and jump on someone who is burning one and beat them to the ground. Sure, I’d LIKE to – but I recognize that our First Amendment to the Constitution protects their right to free speach and that has been extended to a freedom of self-expression and that makes it LEGAL for them to burn a flag. It doesn’t make it RIGHT in my eyes, but it does make it LEGAL. I spent too many years in a uniform defending and upholding the Constitution to deprive someone of their rights now.
That said, THEY SHALL NOT DEPRIVE ME OF MINE EITHER. MY right of self-expression… freedom of speach gives ME the right to fly my American flag anywhere I darn well please. If someone doesn’t like it, tough schtuff!
The very people who own and management that apartment complex, who demand people remove American flags because they’re “worried about offending someone” should worry about offending Americans. Since when is it okay to spit in the face of an American but not anyone else in the world? Where is our pride? Where is our sense of honor? What has become of America if we accept being told we’re NOT allowed to be proud of our country; our heritage; who we are?
It’s time for all of us: every proud American to stand up and say, Get over it! We are Americans. We are proud of it. This is our flag. We will proudly fly it everywhere we go. If the sight of our American flag offends you, get the hell out of our country and go somewhere they fly a flag that doesn’t offend you.
A brave young man at a private reception in New York protested this nutjob's participation in the killing of so many protestors (over 1,000 counting those murdered under torture in the prisons - 700 names listed in the Multilingual section) who objected to his power grab and fraudulent election.
Like his counterpart, Oba-Hussein, he hides this truth - that the majority of the nation does not support him. The Turd never had support, Oba-Hussein has lost his in a rush of reality opening American eyes.
Is Oba-Hussein going to also force his thuggish Islamic-Marxist narcissistic policies on us as they do in Islamic Iran? He is already stifling dissent, controlling the Media, taking control of the Internet to limit dissent by Bloggers, ceding our sovereignty to a global government and so and so on.
Sounds a bit like Islamic Iran to me with a layer of Communism "caking" us the people.
Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.
I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding."
Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him.
At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me.
No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It's very strange." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia.
NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)
Following previously posted news about the state of health (lack of it) of Supreme Ruler Ali Khamenei, a meeting took place at the Presidential Palace of Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad the Turd, on Pasteur Street, last night between 9 -11 p.m. and was attended by:
President Ahmadi Nejad
Major-General Firoozabadi, Commander of the IRGC (Revolutionary Guard)
Leadership Members of the Council of Experts (senior clerics)
1. Ali Akbar Rafsanjani - Council Chairman
2. Ahmad Janati - Council Secretary
3. Ghorbanali Dari Najafabadi - Member
4. Taghi Mesbah Yazdi - Member
5. Mohammad Reza Mahdavi Kani – Member
6. Seyed Ahmad Khatami - Temporary Friday Prayer Leader of Tehran & Member
7. Seyed Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroodi – Former Head of Judiciary & Member
In this meeting reports from Khamenei’s treating physicians were reviewed and discussions took place about his replacement. (reportedly in the event of his death but more probably because he is dead)
At this point all members of the IRGC bodyguards, servants and others were ordered out of the general meeting hall of the palace and the talks continued behind closed doors and lasted till 11:30 p.m. after which those mentioned above departed.
Impeachment assumes that the usurper is legally holding the office of President, so unlikely a valid action.
The remedy for removal of a usurper is a federal statute called QUO WARRANTO.
The understanding here is that quo warranto must be brought against a usurper in the jurisdiction where he is holding that office.
In this case of course, Barry is holding federal office in Washington DC so the DC District Court is the correct venue.
The rub is that quo warranto must be brought through Eric Holder, who is of course Barry's Attorney General.
Since this is a blatant conflict of interest, a special prosecutor will be necessary.
BUT, BUT, BUT (out of the mouths of babes and fools) I hope Judge David Carter sees this and thinks about it (though what I know about him would indicate he has already thought of this way ahead of me) and so does Orly Taitz:
Instead of Quo Warranto (removal of the President/Official from office) the whole case should target ELIGIBILITY only (for now). And perhaps a bunch of peripheral felonies that Obama appears to have perpetrated.
And probably as his enablers did, like nancy Pelosi et al.
Without the Quo Warranto aspect , jurisdiction for establishing eligibility - or lack of it - does not appear to conflict with Judge Carter taking the case to trial in Santa Ana.
The result of the trial, if the jury finds Obama was NOT eligible could then be filed in the Wasington D.C. jurisdiction for the next phase of Quo Warranto. (Or Judge Carter could decide what avenue to follow based on the jury verdict)
By then, the evidence that came out and sufficed to persuade the jury would also be available as a factual basis to the D.C. District and hard to refute. (Whether appealed or not).
The military would find itself in a conflict but faced with finding a solution, which it currently - without a basis to which to adhere - avoids considering.
The populace would become aware of court "verified" facts and form their own opinions and conclusions which would be reflected in coming elections. In whatever direction they choose.
If felonies are attributed to Obama in the jury verdict, this would color the Quo Warranto decision.
As a personal opinion , I believe Judge Carter would be potentially saving the country by clarifying the truth of matters.
And IF Obama is NOT (or was not) eligible the ensuing potential chaos WOULD BE NO WORSE than the strangulation death our country faces at his Marxist-Islamist hands and policies.
What would possibly ensue, in my opinion, is the equivalent of an invasive surgery to remove cancerous tissue from a dying body and saving the patient. Our USA.
And preventing the certain death of our culture and country at the hands of the Obama administration and his often perverted (NAMBLA), usually politically radical and even Maoist or Leninist czars.
Judge Carter, regardless of the final outcome, PLEASE give us the people a chance to survive and live as free people, not the slaves of the intentionally destructive Obama power grab and suppression we now face. That's a reality!
And Orly Taitz take a step back to allow a surge forward and leave the Quo Warranto for phase two and release Judge Carter from the chains Quo Warranto might be imposing on him. So not drop, just separate it for the next venue after you have obtained the evidence to persuade a jury on eligibility.
THAT victory will bring others as sure as lined up dominos will fall when the first one is knocked over.
Another phone call from Iran denying KHamenei died. Each story is different.
His absence since Octobe 7th is now being explained as his having been in the North of Iran and unable to return because bad weather prevented his return (auto or plane not specified).
When he returned he felt a bit ill so his three doctors were summoned and told him to rest and asked nobody to disturb him except for wife and sons.
He will either appear in public in a few days on the anniversary of one of the Shia "saints" or will host a meeting with some senior clerics!
Reminds me of when Ayatollah Khomeini fell into a coma back in 1989 and was forbidden visitors. Meanwhile the regime, desperate to find a successor before announcing Khomeini's death, cobbled together videos of bits and pieces of previous speeches and broadcast them as a current speech, he had just made.
Jagged splicing and seque was attributed to poor technology of that era.
Regardless of whether Khamenei is still breathing or not, the increasing desire of the other clerics to remove him from office and a Revolutionary Guard coup in the making to remove the Supreme Leader position from the Khomeini "Constitution" and instead of the Velayat Vaghih (Rule of Religious Jurisprudence) set up by Khomeini back in 1979 to have a Republic and rest power to the Presidency - indicates he is not going to come out of it alive for long anyway.
With conflicting reports and differing story versions emanating from inside Iran and at best a very short life span for the Supreme Ruler politically, he might as well be dead.
One speculation was that he was shot in an assassination attempt on his life.
The intense effort by the regime to deny and discredit the death reports, which like Obama's birth certificate could easily put to rest by producing Khamenei himself or the Obama's Long Form BC, neither action has yet been taken.
So let's wait and see what develops - in both matters.
And our sources were not the same as Michael Ledeen's so the information came through different channels adding some credence.
Ours, from inside Iran, still insist they are correct.
He had the courage to stand by his information and does not deserve the criticism being levelled at him. Iran is not a free society so informatin flows with difficulty and is not always immediately confirmable.
Bazaar merchants who are usually privy believe he is dead and have closed the bazaar down in concern. Partly for this reason and partly because of the fire set in the mattress section of the Tehran bazaar by the protestors, who had asked the merchants to support them and paralyze imports and exports by closing down.
The merchants responded they had been threatened by the regime with never having their licenses renewed if they did so. The reported death and fire has given them cover to go home. So they have.
Some reports coming out of Iran deny the Supreme Leader has died or IS EVEN ILL!
Over the past month, rumors circulated that he was in a coma and his ruthless son Mojtaba was ruling (with Ahmadi-Nejad's help) in his father's name.
This son visits prisons just to watch and participate in torture sessions of arrested demonstrators and take pleasure in raping some of them himself!
Denial of Khamenei Senior's death has to overcome some visible changes:
1. Government buildings are being draped in black cloth. (Reports on this come from multiple Twitters).
2. All Islamic Iranian TV announcers have suddenly turned to wearind all black clothing.
3. Bassiji Suppression forces have poured into the streets to enforce crowd control and prevent gatherings, which have not yet taken place.
4. The constant grumbling of clerics about the Supreme Ruler and efforts to replace him with a Ruling Committee have abruptly ceased.
Having him dead instead of the disruptive campaign to unseat him has solved their complaints and now they can go ahead with the "succession" process.
It took nearly two months from the time Ayatollah Khomeini went to hospital and fell into a coma till he was OFFICIALLY pronounced dead.
Like the isolated Khamenei today, he was ordered isolated with only his son Ahmad (and his low level cleric companion at the time, the present ruler) allowed in his room.
Meanwhile edicts with spider crawl forged signatures but with Khomeini's official seal emerged from that room. Including the one which rejected the formerly selected successor Ayatollah Montazeri (a relatively enlightened cleric) and replacing him with Ali Khamenei, who was a Hojat-ol-Islam not an Ayatollah let alone the Grand Ayatollah needed to fill that position.
Two Ayatollahs have to declare another Ayatollah their religious/spiritual mentor to have the latter become a Grand Ayatollah. Ayatollah Shahroodi in exile from Iraq provided one vote and was rewarded by being appointed head of the Judiciary.
The other was loony tunes Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi, President Ahmadi-Nejad's spiritual mentor. These two believe that there has to be so much oppression, suffering, misery, death and bloodshed taking place in our world that the 12th descendent of Mohammad, a 13-year boy who hid down a well at Jamkaran, Iran, to avoid being killed and never reappeared and the Imam of the End Times would notice and return to create a global Caliphate for Islam to rule the planet.
Even the heartless Khomeini, who had many tens of thousand killed in his prisons and over another million slaughtered in the Iran-Iraq war could not stomach Mesbah Yazdi's religious philosophy and banned his cultish activites, which went underground till after Khomeini's death.
Currently the clerical and IRGC (Revolutionary Guard Corps) power conflicts, with the IRGC recently taking greater control of the Bassiji and teh schisms among the senior Ayatollahs seems to be preventing a formal declaration taht Khamenei has died.
They are simply not ready nor have worked out their interactions without a Superme Ruler at teh tip of the pyramid.
So, while every indication points to the death of the Supreme Ruler being the reality, nobody is ready to admit it officially and face the probably unruly reactions of the poulace. Who more likely than not will rejoice the death and flood the streets in a show of delight.
Something that could escalate into a major revolt against the regime.
Early morning in Tehran right now. We should be able to know more in a few hours - while we sleep.
ALSO Good evaluation from Ali Alfoneh - American.com
The passing of Khamenei would represent a seismic shift in the Islamic Republic’s power equations. With no successor-designate, Khamenei’s death would unleash a huge power struggle.
Several things will happen once Khamenei dies. Officially, the Assembly of Experts, currently headed by former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, anoints the next Supreme Leader. Behind the scenes, however, the major power brokers—whether on the assembly or not—will jockey for power and seek consensus. If the decision is fractious, the assembly may decide to appoint a clerical council in the interregnum period.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) will seek to influence the selection, either of the interregnum council or of the next Supreme Leader. The most radical scenario—but an increasingly plausible one—would be for the IRGC to lobby to abolish the institution of leadership, thereby transforming the Islamic Republic into a presidential system and giving ultimate power to current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a veteran of the IRGC and its primary benefactor.
Under any circumstance, governance in the Islamic Republic is fast degenerating into a military dictatorship with an eclectic ideology composed of Shi’a Messianism, Iranian nationalism, and populism.
