On July 2nd, 2008, Obama spoke in Colorado Springs and hit themes of
national service, foreign policy, and national security. In that vein,
Obama proposed a rather extraordinary idea -- that the US should spend as
much money on a civilian national security force as it does on the military.
(video)
"We cannot continue to rely on
our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve
set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as
powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Public Allies
Barack and Michelle
Obama have been
organizing the cadre of his civilian national security
force since 1993 -- his "shadow army" -- at fifteen fully-staffed and
populated indoctrination centers.
Public Allies, modeled after Alinsky's "people’s organizations,"
is operating under the watchful eye of Michelle Obama and it has a ton
of money -- more than
$75 million per year -- and an impressive list of
donors. Naturally, it also receives grants from federal, state and
municipal sources. Its mission has been, and is, to produce "community
organizers" -- baby Obamas -- and its process is replicable and
repeatable -- continually producing more apparatchiks in "the
community," where these people are perceived of as leaders. They answer
to only one person -- Obama.
Camp Obama
During the campaign, Obama also ran, at the state
level, a "national program for social change,"
called "Camp
Obama" --here is their sign-up page
-- you too can be a "Deputy Field Organizer."
The Obama Campaign's website
promised that "you'll get the kind of experience that Barack got as a
community organizer on the South Side of Chicago," and "Camp Obama is
your chance to step up and become a leader in 'this movement'."
Political Actions
These
community organizers have constituencies that can be mobilized, at the
touch of a button, into political actions -- mobs in the streets -- to
influence public opinion and the political process -- real visual stuff
that Obama's water-carriers in the media will broadcast 24/7.
In addition to these shock
troops, Obama has a reserve of 13 million-plus in his personal database
that he is
actively expanding. This pool of Internet-savvy people can be used
to promote or attack any issue. Obama can direct tens of thousands of
emotional emails, phone calls and letters on any target.
Here's an example of Obama's
Internet marketing -- and here's
another. It's cool the way the letters promote the message,
attack its opponents and scrounge for money in 500 words or less.
Remember, in September, when
Chicago radio station
WGN-AM twice came under attack from the Obama Campaign for offering
airtime to an author who was politically opposed to Obama. As the
result of an "Obama
Action Wire" alert to supporters, the Tribune-owned station was
flooded with phone calls and e-mails about an hour before an Aug. 27
interview with Stanley Kurtz, a conservative writer who examined Obama’s
ties to former 1960's radical William Ayers.
The phone calls effectively shut
the station down.
Media Subterfuge
These shocking words are not included in a transcript of the prepared
remarks published by the
Denver Post and
Wall Street Journal.
According to
the transcript, Obama was to have
said:
"We'll send more
college graduates to teach and mentor our young people. We'll call
on Americans to join an Energy Corps to conduct renewable energy and
environmental cleanup projects in their neighborhoods. We'll
enlist veterans to help other vets find jobs and support, and to be
there for our military families. And we'll also grow our Foreign
Service, open consulates that have been shuttered, and double the size
of the Peace Corps by 2011 to renew our diplomacy."
But a YouTube
video of the
speech (slide to the 16:45 mark), shows Obama spoke the following lines:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to
achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to
have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as
strong, just as well-funded."
But those words are omitted from the
transcript.
Is He Serious?
The U.S. Army alone has nearly 500,000 troops. That doesn’t count
reserves or National Guard. In 2007, the U.S. Defense budget was
$439 billion.
Is Obama serious about
creating some kind of civilian national security force "just
as strong, just as well-funded" than that?
Rahmbo's Plan
In his book, "The Plan: Big Ideas for
America," Rahm Emanuel writes: "It's time for a real Patriot Act that
brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian
service for every young American. Under this plan, all Americans between
the ages of 18 and 25 will be asked to serve their country by going
through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and
community service."
Emanuel and his
co-author Bruce Reed, insist 'this is not a draft,' but go on to write
of young men and women, 'the nation will enlist them for three months of
civilian service.' They also warn, 'Some Republicans will squeal about
individual freedom,' ruling out any likelihood that they would let
people opt out of universal citizen service."
Joseph Farah raised the
issue and then urged reporters to start asking questions about it.
"If we're going to create some kind of national police force
as big, powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces,
isn't this rather a big deal?" Farah wrote. "I thought
Democrats generally believed the U.S. spent too much on the military.
How is it possible their candidate is seeking to create some kind of
massive but secret national police force that will be even bigger than
the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put together?
"Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic
security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why
did he say it? What did he mean?"
Three months of basic
training, civil defense preparation? -- everybody between 18 and 25? --
is Obama expecting an invasion?
America Serves
The official website of
President-Elect Barack Obama, Change.gov,
originally announced that Obama would "require" all middle school
through college students to participate in community service programs;
but after a flurry of blogs protested children being drafted into
Obama's proposed youth corps, the website's wording was softened.
Originally,
under the tab "America Serves"
Change.gov read, "President-Elect Obama will expand national service
programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom
Corps to help teachers in under served schools, as well as a new Health
Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps.
"Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by
developing a plan to require 50 hours of community
service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community
service in college every year," the site announced.
The language of requiring students to serve and the creation
of a "Classroom Corps" sparked a surge of criticism from bloggers for
bringing back memories of the much-publicized video of marching Obama
youth and Obama's "civilian national security force," which the
candidate
said in July would be just as powerful and well-funded as the U.S.
military.
Organizing for America
Obama recently released
this video, in which he calls for MORE "volunteers" to help him
"change America" -- and he makes it sound like a noble cause.
In the video, at the end, he even places "The Movement" before "our
country" -- the United States of America."
Never before has such a massive,
organized political action force -- independent from the federal
government --existed. Obama sardonically calls it, "Organizing for
America."
DoD Directive 1404.10
On January 23rd, 2009 -- three days after the
inauguration -- a little-publicized Department of Defense Directive (Number
1404.10) established a "DoD Civilian Expeditionary Workforce."
This document authorizes the mission and funding of hundreds of thousand
foot-soldiers to fill the ranks of "The Movement."
On A National Scale
The blogworld is beginning to recognize "The Movement."
On American Thinker, March 16, 2009, Thomas Lifson
writes, in "The Obama pledge"...
Another polarizing move from
Barack Obama. His permanent campaign is organizing a political
organization loyal to him, bound by a pledge, outside the government and
existing party apparatus. The historical precedents are ominous.
Only this time around the Obama organization supplies YouTube videos on
how to organize, and social networking software connects them.
Saul Alinsky would be proud. And rightly so. For
this is simply the continuation of Mr. Obama's perpetual community
organizing -- but on a national scale.
We were warned by Michelle Obama about this:
"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand
that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you
come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones.
That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will
never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved,
uninformed."
National Defense University
Just this past week while speaking at
the dedication of Abraham Lincoln Hall at the National Defense
University in Washington, D.C., Obama said this:
"… And that’s why my administration is committed to renewing
diplomacy as a tool of American power, and to developing our civilian
national security capabilities… … We have to enlist our civilians in the
same way that we enlist those members of the armed services in
understanding this broad mission that we have."
Obama spends a lot of time thinking about this "civilian national security force."
And, exactly what is "this broad mission that we have?" You
wanna spell that out for me, Obama?
Unity '09
Here's
Politico's take on "Unity '09" -- and
here is Carl Rove's.
The Machine
On the web page, "The
Movement" it says that Obama has...
...been organizing the
cadre of his personal, civilian national security force -- his "shadow
army" -- at fifteen fully-staffed and populated indoctrination centers
since 1992.
Public Allies, modeled after Alinsky's "people’s
organizations," is operating under the watchful eye of Michelle Obama
and it has a ton of money -- more than $75 million per year -- and an
impressive list of donors. Naturally, it also receives grants from
federal, state and municipal sources. Its mission has been, and
is, to produce "community organizers" -- baby Obamas -- and its process
is replicable and repeatable -- continually producing more apparatchiks
in "the community," where these people are perceived of as leaders.
They answer to only one person -- Obama.
These community
organizers have constituencies that can be mobilized, at the touch of a
button, into political actions -- mobs in the streets -- to influence
public opinion and the political process -- real visual stuff that
Obama's water-carriers in the media will broadcast 24/7.
In
addition to these shock troops, Obama has a reserve of 13 million-plus
in his personal database that he is actively expanding. This pool
of Internet-savvy people can be used to promote or attack any issue.
Obama can direct tens of thousands of emotional emails, phone calls and
letters on any target.
Now, Breitbart
reports in, "Obama musters campaign army for economic fight," that
Obama is out to do just that -- to muster his powerful people's army,
calling on his millions of supporters to write letters, make phone calls
and send emails to lobby on behalf of his budget and economic plan.
The appeal to back the president was made in an email and video sent
out by "Organizing for America," the organization which morphed out of
Obama's campaign machinery to push his agenda when he entered the White
House.
In the video, Mitch Stewart, the director of "Organizing
for America," urged the president's supporters to take part in the
"Organizing for America Pledge Project."
"By pledging and
building support you will be taking the first steps towards establishing
a nationwide grassroots network, neighborhood by neighborhood, standing
side by side with President Obama as we bring about our agenda for
change."
David Plouffe says that "Organizing for America" is not
aimed at twisting the arms of members of Congress but meant to keep
activists engaged on issues such as health care, energy and the economy.
When Obama's people control health care, energy and the economy, they
pretty much have you by the shorts.
Good little Maoists swim with the fishes. Change is
implemented bottom-up. Alinsky says so
If need be, you can
expect to see the demonstrations, led by Obama's trained and ready-to-go
community organizers --and ACORN will have its part to play.
Their "actions" will be all over TV,
dramatically described by "independent journalists" like David Gregory
and Chris Matthews.
Conspiracy Theory
Hot Air
tells us about Rahm Emanuel’s friendly
daily chats with Begala,
Carville, and Stephanopoulos, then there was the expose on the
group effort ("explicitly
authorized" by
David Axelrod) to make Rush
Limbaugh the face of the GOP, and now
this. No wonder Ben
Smith’s using the word "conspiracy."
Twenty
politically-left groups are holding daily conference calls to coordinate
their messages.
The vast new left-wing conspiracy sets its tone
every morning at 8:45 a.m., when officials from more than 20 labor,
environmental and other Democratic-leaning groups dial into a private
conference call hosted by two left-leaning Washington organizations…
The call has proved particularly effective at coordinating attacks
on critics, said Jackie Schechner, the national communications director
for Health Care for America Now, a labor-backed alliance of groups that
support Democratic efforts to expand health care.
"There’s a
coordination in terms of exposing the people who are trying to come out
against reform -- they’ve all got backgrounds and histories and pasts,
and it’s not taking long to unearth that and to unleash that, because
we’re all working together," Schechner said.
When a new group
called Conservative for Patients Rights, for instance, launched an ad
campaign featuring former health care executive Rick Scott, "There was a
discussion about what do we know about this guy and in a very quick
period of time we were able to come up with his background," she said…
Though White House officials do not participate in the calls,
Palmieri said, the new infrastructure is closely tied to the White
House. Podesta directed Obama’s transition, and
Americans United
for Change exists
largely to run ads promoting the White House agenda. Some on
the left, however, remain skeptical of the White House’s embrace.
GIVE Act
The Senate is
working on the
Kennedy/Hatch Serve America Act of 2008, and the House is working on a
similar bill, called the Generations Invigorating Volunteering and
Education (GIVE) Act (H.
R. 1388).
Each would more than triple the number of
AmeriCorp volunteers from 75,000 to 250,000, at an estimated cost of a
billion dollars a year.
House Education and Labor Committee
Chairman George Miller, D-Calf., said his committee will act on the bill
this week, bring it to a vote by next week, with the goal of getting it
to the president's desk before the April recess.
"This bill is
going to the president's desk because he's absolutely captured the
imagination of America to create a new generation of volunteers to
expand the opportunities for volunteers from middle school to retired,"
Miller said.
The bill would also create "green" opportunities --
including a Clean Energy Corps to focus on environmental conservation. It would also create a Healthy Futures Corps, focusing on health care; a
Veteran Services Corps, focusing on services for military veterans; and
an Education Corps.
One of the participants said, ""It's a
construction job, but the skills aren't construction -- it's volunteer
management, leadership..."
There's Obama's 3-pronged attack again -- environment, health and
education. Watch for those three in everything he does.
And
it dovetails nicely with this:
On July 2nd, 2008, Obama spoke in Colorado Springs and hit themes of
national service, foreign policy, and national security. In that vein,
Obama proposed a rather extraordinary idea -- that the US should spend as
much money on a civilian national security force as it does on the military.
(video)
"We cannot continue to rely on
our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve
set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as
powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."
Just this past week while speaking at the dedication of Abraham
Lincoln Hall at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C.,
Obama said this:
"… And that’s why my administration is committed
to renewing diplomacy as a tool of American power, and to developing our
civilian national security capabilities… … We have to enlist our
civilians in the same way that we enlist those members of the armed
services in understanding this broad mission that we have."
And, exactly what is "this broad
mission that we have?" You wanna spell that out for me,
Obama?
Organizing For America
A sitting President of
the United States is organizing a political organization loyal to him,
bound by a pledge, outside the government and existing party apparatus.
The historical precedents are ominous. (video)
Obama's
movement,
Organizing for America (OFA), was announced in late January but
officially unfurled last weekend. Obama describes OFA as a "grass-roots
movement" -- it is no such thing. It is really a highly
organized, top-down project, created, funded
and managed by the Obama Campaign. It
identifies itself with the "O"-shaped logo of the Obama campaign.
New OFA enrollees will expand Obama's existing 13
million person database that is being used to mobilize support for
Obama's agenda.
The OFA
website reveals that
supporters are not simply asked to sign up, they are asked to take a
pledge. A pledge to support -- not the constitution, not
the country, not the flag, not even the Democratic party -- but Obama and his "bold plan."
Organizing Update - March 9, 2009 (02:37)
You will
not find any mention of OFA`s governing structure, their budget, their
bylaws, or their officers at the OFA website. Donations to the website
go to the DNC, but OFA is managed out of the White House. If you click
on the comments button, you are taken to a link to the White House
email.
Those who take the pledge are asked to "talk with people
about the President's plan" and to "ask them to sign their names to the
pledge" in support of Obama's policies.
So we have a Movement --
their term, not mine -- organized by, and loyal to, a sitting
President. Pledge canvassers, armed with your name, will ask you to
pledge loyalty to the President too. A president whose term has already
become a permanent campaign, is signing up ground forces in a mass
organization pledged to personal loyalty to their Leader.
Does
you know of any historical precedents for US citizens pledging fealty to
a politician? And, these are the same people who won't pledge
allegiance to the flag.
Will You Take The Pledge?
The Pledge: "I
support President Obama's bold approach for renewing America's economy. I will ask friends, family, and neighbors to pledge their support for
this plan" -- (video)
They have taken a pledge of loyalty to Obama, and they
say they are coming your way tomorrow for yours. Organizing for America
(OFA), the Obama-for-President campaign morphed into
Obama-for-Maximum-Leader army, will hit the streets on Saturday for their "Pledge
Project Canvass," knocking on doors and accosting folks in parking lots
and sidewalks to ask them to sign a pledge to support Obama's policies
for health care, energy and education reform.
Organizing for
America is variously
described in the media as [President Obama's] "own version of a lobbying
firm", "a parallel organization to the Democratic National Committee"
and "an independent force to lobby for Obama's goals" (Houston
Chronicle); "an independent group" (Dayton Daily News); Obama's "citizen
army," and a way of building public opinion" (The Bergen County Record);
"a grass-roots lobbying group," (Roll Call), "Obama 2.0" (Newark
Star-Ledger), "a joint partnership," (DNC press release), and as a
"political bully," (AP).
Whatever OFA is, David Plouffe at least
thinks ''[t]his has obviously never been undertaken before. So it's
going to be a little trial and error.''
It seems as though OFA's
organizers are ignorant of the lessons of history and of the sinister
ambitions of leaders who created their own private organizations, loyal
only to them -- or not.
The biting winds of change are
blowing through ObamaNation. The same "volunteerism" that kept
America running since the days of its founding, wiped out with the
stroke of a pen, will no longer be volunteerism. It becomes forced
labor and like the practice of another era,
presses
American citizens of all ages and creeds, unknowingly into military
service.
On paper,
H.R. 1388
is the "Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act"; the
more innocuous sounding "The Give Act", for short. But "The Give
Act" is not part of Obama’s distant future for unsuspecting American
citizens, because it hit the House floor on March 18th.
Democrat
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy is sponsoring the bill with 25 co-sponsors,
Democrats down to the last one. Ayes and Nays 321-105, with 70
Republicans voting "Aye.".
The Give Act puts the finishing
touches to Public Allies New Leadership
for New Times, modeled after Saul Alinsky’s "Peoples Organizations" and
operating under Michelle Obama with an alleged operating budget of more
than $75-million a year. According to a Fact Sheet About Public
Allies, "President Obama was a member of the founding advisory board of
the non-profit organization. Michelle Obama was the founding
Executive Director of Public Allies Chicago from Spring, 1993 until Fall
1996 (italics CFP’s). She served on Public Allies national board
of directors from 1997 until 2002. Obama was no longer on the
board when Michelle was hired.
Like most things Alinsky,
H.R. 1388 sounds noble in stating why wide-sweeping change is necessary.
"The Give Act" aims to "leverage investments to increase State, local,
business and philanthropic resources to address national and local
challenges."
Comprehensive in its power, H.R. 1388 goes straight
to the heart of volunteerism in America, impacting everything from the
lemonade stands of neighborhood children, to the residents of senior
citizens homes.
"American volunteers" from across the spectrum,
once pressed into service of the Civilian Community Corps, in the
fullness of time, shall be called the "National Civilian Community
Corps."
You might want to run, but you can’t hide from H.R. 1388.
Whether you are young or old, or
firmly believe that volunteering means you are offering your time to the
good of community work, you will be pressed into Obama’s National
Civilian Community Corps.
The National Civilian Community Corps
is year-round and will impose itself on children away at summer camp.
Even private schools will not be immune from its membership.
Down through the generations, wearing a uniform has always appealed to
the sincere at heart.
According to H.R. 1388, "the Director determines
appropriate "uniforms."
H.AMDT.49 to H.R.1388 cancels out
-- "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,
or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
S. 277
The Senate
agreed
Monday to take up legislation to triple the size of the AmeriCorps
program and open up opportunities for more people to serve their
communities.
Lawmakers voted 74-14 to move to the legislation,
named the "Serve America Act,"
that would expand AmeriCorps from its current 75,000 positions to
250,000 over the course of eight years. Sixty votes were needed to bring
the bill to the floor. The measure is expected to come up for a final
vote in the Senate sometime this week.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who is being treated for brain cancer, made a rare appearance
on the Senate floor to vote for the bill that he co-sponsored with Sen.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
The legislation would also create five
groups to help poor people, improve education, encourage
energy
efficiency, strengthen access to health care and assist veterans.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, said the proposal is an
investment that "will pay dividends long beyond anything that we can
imagine."
The House last week passed a
similar bill to add
175,000 participants, and
S. 277 would amend and reauthorize programs
established under the National and Community Service Act of 1990 (NCSA)
and the Domestic Volunteer Service Act of 1973 (DVSA). The bill also
would authorize a "Volunteers for Prosperity" program at the U.S. Agency
for International Development (USAID).
Assuming appropriation of
the estimated amounts, CBO estimates that implementing the bill would
cost $4 1 8 million in 20 10 and about $5.7 billion over the 20 10-20 14
period.
On April 4,
at Roosevelt University's downtown Chicago campus, there will be a
workshop entitled "Getting Paid to Cause Trouble: Careers in
Organizing for Social Change (Community Service)."
"Organizers from Illinois AFSCME, UNITE HERE, UFCW, Communities for an
Equitable Olympics (CEO), Center for Community Change and other unions
and community groups will be here to talk about jobs and internships
available NOW!"
AFSCME, UNITE HERE, and UFCW are all unions.
The other two groups are "progressive" Alinsky-model advocates for
low-income people. Listed as a sponsor is the Chicago Center for
Working-Class Studies, also a labor-oriented group.
"Come meet
organizers from local community organizations and unions ‘walking the
walk'," the page encourages. "Learn about careers in grassroots
organizing."
Atlas Shrugs asks if you have you seen
this .pdf? It is Obama's fascist blueprint to create a police
state and legalize gulags. This is not a spoof. This is
the "mission statement" for Obama's "civilian army."
The Document's "Scope"
This product is one of a
series of intelligence assessments
published by the Extremism
and Radicalization Branch
(Homeland
Environment Threat Analysis
Division, Office of Threat
Analysis. Coordinated with the
FBI.) to facilitate a
greater understanding of the
phenomenon of violent
radicalization in the United
States. The information is
provided to federal, state, local,
and tribal counterterrorism and
law enforcement officials so they
may effectively deter, prevent,
preempt, or respond to terrorist
attacks against the United States.
Federal efforts to influence
domestic public opinion must be
conducted in an overt and
transparent manner, clearly
identifying United States
Government sponsorship.
So, now only the federal
government may "influence domestic
public opinion."
Rightwing extremism in the
United States can be broadly
divided into those groups,
movements, and adherents that are
primarily hate-oriented (based on
hatred of particular religious,
racial or ethnic groups), and
those that are mainly
antigovernment, rejecting federal
authority in favor of state or
local authority, or rejecting
government authority entirely.
It may include groups and
individuals that are dedicated to
a single issue, such as opposition
to abortion or immigration.
Obviously, Homeland Security
is no longer concerned with
Islamic extremism, and even
though left-wing extremists tear
up cities from Seattle to New
York, they are not a threat.
Only the "right-wing" is now a
threat -- but is that perceived
threat a threat to America, or is
it a threat to Obama's socialist
and fascist policies?
Key Findings
The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no
specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are
currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be
gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several
emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the
first African American president present unique drivers for
rightwing radicalization and recruitment.
Translation: There is no threat.
Give us time, we'll create one.
Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment
groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated
plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences
of a prolonged economic downturn -- including real estate foreclosures,
unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit -- could create a fertile
recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in
confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to
those in the past.
Translation: There is no threat. Give us time, we'll
create one.
The current economic and political climate has some
similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a
resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the
outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and
sovereignty by other foreign powers.
American sovereignty is now a radical position.
During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth
in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and
an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law
enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.
Sounds like they are describing Bill Ayers and Bernardine
Dohrn, Obama's great friends and terrorist patriots!
Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased
government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City
bombingand disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and
the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.
Their evidence is one terror attack 15
years ago -- but fail to mention the
13,000
Islamic attacks since 9/11.
The possible passage of new restrictions on
firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant
challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the
potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable
of carrying out violent attacks.
Ah, there it is. take their guns away.
Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and
weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of
rightwing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to
begin planning and training for violence against the government. The
high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by
rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some
parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law
enforcement.
Ban? What ban? This is a staging. Fake staging to seize
weapons.
Returning veterans possess combat skills
and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is
concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and
radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent
capabilities.
America's heroes are to be considered extremists
because they have combat skills.
These wonderful young people, who daily
risks their lives in defense of our
country are now being painted as
extremists by the bunch in the White
House.
And these paragraphs are just the
introduction to this radical document,
which is nothing more than Obama's plan to
paint anyone that disagrees with Obama's
agenda as an extremist.
If you
oppose illegal immigration -- you are an
extremist.
If you are a supporter
of your 2nd Amendment rights and an
opponent of federal firearms registration
-- you are an extremist.
If you oppose mandatory tagging and
registration of ammunition -- extremist!
If you oppose a "One World Government"
-- you are an extremist.
"Disgruntled" military veterans --
yup, extremists!
If you oppose government infringement
on civil liberties -- you are an
extremist.
Are you a member of the "cabal of
Jewish financial elites" -- you're an
extremist.
Do you "bemoan" the decline of U.S.
stature -- away with you -- you are an
extremist.
If you are unemployed, you are
susceptible to forming rightwing extremist
beliefs in your children -- specifically
xenophobia and antidemocratic ideals --
you are an extremist.
And, it goes on and on.
This document was prepared by the Obama
Administration as a result of "the
historical election of an African
American president and the
prospect of policy changes (that) are
proving to be a driving force for
rightwing extremist recruitment and
radicalization."
The document closes with a charge for
Americans to spy on their fellow
Americans:
"DHS encourages recipients of this

Obama's Youth Indoctrination Program
The
AmeriCorps program will
triple in size over the next eight years, and tens of thousands of
other Americans will soon see new opportunities to "volunteer."
It's all part of a $5.7 billion national service bill Obama is
scheduled to sign Tuesday to foster and fulfill people's desire to make
a difference, such as by mentoring children, cleaning up parks or
building and weatherizing homes for the poor.
Bolstering
voluntary public service programs has been a priority of Obama,
who credits his work as a community organizer in his early 20s
for giving him direction in life.
The White House said Monday
that Obama "will call on people across the country to serve their
communities and work together to tackle the nation's tough challenges."
The
legislation provides for gradually increasing the size of AmeriCorps to
250,000 enrollees from its current 75,000. It outlines five broad
categories where people can direct their service: helping the poor,
improving education, encouraging energy
efficiency, strengthening access to health care and
assisting veterans.
The
operative section of this item is, "...a priority of Obama, who credits
his work as a community organizer..."
This program will be used
to indoctrinate the young -- plain and simple. It is not an accident
that this Obama-friendly article identifies Obama's three principal goals
as the areas in which these "volunteers" will be utilized. These
"volunteers," believing they are engaged in "community service," will be
Obama's shock troops in implementing his agenda.
Remember these
words:
"We
cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national
security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national
security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as
well-funded." (video)
Obama's Jugend
Yesterday, Obama signed a huge
expansion of his "youth brigades" legislation when he signed into law the
"GIVE Act," H.R. 1388. This bill provides for the massive
expansion of the National Service
Corporation and allocates to it billions of dollars. One of the
program's executives says it will allow for the management of up to eight
or nine million people.
The Obama File has been tracking Obama's
plans to assemble such a corps ever since Obama told a campaign stop in
Colorado Springs in 2008 that he wants a "Civilian National Security
Force" as big and as well-funded as the U.S. military.
H.R. 1388
includes a National Service Reserve Corps whose members have completed
a term of national service, training and not less than 10 hours of
volunteering each year.
In a conference call with
WorldNewsDaily.com reporters, Alan Solomont, the chairman of the
Corporation for National and Community Service,
said the 75,000 current members of the AmericCorps program
"leverage" about 2.2 million volunteers, and the total of all such
volunteers who are managed through the federal program total about four
million.
He said the possibility with the expanded authorization
and funding means that up to eight or nine million could be involved.
"If we triple the size of AmeriCorps from 75,000 members to 250,000
members annually, and if we -- if those 75,000 AmeriCorps members are
currently engaging 2.2. million volunteers a year, we could triple that
to 6.6 million volunteers, 250,000 AmeriCorps members. So I think -- you
can do the math -- I think that was about six or seven million, and then
we have another half a million in Senior Corps and another million or so
in Learn and Serve America [for children]," he said.
And
he's not counting the people in Obama's
Public Allies, nor those trained in the many Camp Obamas.
Congress is
also considering a "public service academy, a four-year institution that
offers a federally funded undergraduate education with a focus on
training future public sector leaders."
Joseph Farah, warns,
that if we're going to create some kind of national police force as big,
powerful and well-funded as our combined U.S. military forces, isn't
this rather a big deal? I thought Democrats generally believed the U.S.
spent too much on the military. How is it possible their guy is seeking
to create some kind of massive but secret national police force that
will be even bigger than the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force put
together?
Is Obama serious about creating some kind of domestic
security force bigger and more expensive than that? If not, why did he
say it? What did he mean?
Melody Barnes, director of the White
House domestic policy council, confirmed the plan was in response to
Obama's demand for civilian service during his campaign.
"That's
certainly something that the president has spoken about. And he started
his call around nation service publicly during the course of the
campaign when he talked about the fact that government cannot be a
solution to all of our problems, and we have to work together," she
said.
Officials said there also are specific programs for
seniors and children to become involved in the government operation, and
the plan goes far beyond just working on planting trees or addressing
storm damage.
"The bill provides the opportunity for a social
innovation fund," said one official, that will allow the government to
pursue changes in health care, energy and education -- Obama's trifecta.
Judi McLeod wrote for Canada Free Press that the bill simply would turn
everybody into a community organizer.
"Everybody
means the roughly seven million people called to public duty in the $6
billion National Service effort," she said. "But members pressed into
the service of the one million-strong Youth Brigade, sanctioned by
'Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE),' will have
none of the freedoms of the community organizer who started it all.
"There's no room for God in Obama's long promised Youth Brigade, no
room to protest, petition, to boycott or to support a strike, and
loopholes to give its mandatory membership a pass," she wrote. "Obama's
plan requires anyone receiving school loans, among others to serve at
least three months as part of the brigade."
Gary Wood at
Examiner.com said it's part of Obama's plan to set up national service. He noted the explanation offered by White House Chief of Staff Rahm
Emanuel: "It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot
in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young
American. Under this plan, all Americans between the ages of 18 and 25
will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of
basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."
This is nothing more than one, big,
government-funded indoctrination program -- Obama intends to create his
ow own Jugend.
The Walpin
Scandal
A new report reveals that there is substantial evidence that
Inspector General Gerald Walpin was fired from his post where he was
investigating AmeriCorps funding to avoid embarrassment for Barack Obama
and his wife, Michelle.
The
report is from Byron York at the Washington Examiner. On his
blog, he wrote he interviewed a Republican member of the board for the
Corporation for National and Community Service, the overseer for
AmeriCorps, a favorite program for the Obamas.
The report said
the board discussion was revolving around the St. HOPE program in
California, which has been given hundreds of thousands of federal
dollars and used it for, among other things, washing cars for Obama
friend and Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson.
The board member told
York Walpin opposed an agreement that would require a return of only
part of the allegedly misused money and leave Johnson open to receiving
more federal dollars.
"Walpin told board members at the meeting
that he wanted to issue some sort of public statement to the effect that
there should be more investigation of the St. HOPE matter," York
reported.
"He said, 'I feel so strongly about this that today I
am going to issue a statement to the press calling for further
investigation,'" the member said, York reported. "The board members all
caught that."
The report said that was distressing for the board
because of AmeriCorps' high profile and the fact it was a favorite
program for the Obamas and was in line to receive some of the $5.7
billion from the new Serve America Act.
"In the midst of that,
here was the agency's inspector general saying he might re-open an
investigation into an embarrassing episode involving hundreds of
thousands of misspent dollars and a politically prominent supporter of
the president," the report said.
"We did not need any press out
there on this St. HOPE matter, which was already settled," the board
member told York.
Ultimately the FBI was contacted and asked to
look into the St. Hope scenario, and the White House issued a statement
that Walpin was confused and disoriented at the meeting and that was why
he was being dismissed.
"But there is no doubt that, whatever
the other reasons, the board feared that a revival of a scandal they
thought was in the past would be embarrassing to the newly-prominent
AmeriCorps," the report said.
Always Organizing
Michelle Obama is kicking off a White House
push to underscore the importance of
volunteerism in San Francisco on
Monday.
Michelle will visit a community playground service
project at Bret Harte Elementary School in San Francisco, and then
deliver the keynote at Moscone Center, before the 2009 National
Conference on Volunteering and Service. That meeting, hosted by the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and the Points of Light
Institute, will give her an audience of thousands of folks who are
leaders in volunteer projects and service projects across the country.
Mrs. Obama's effort marks the start of the United We Serve
summer service initiative supported by the White House, which has set up
a whole series of events starring Cabinet Secretaries and senior
administration officials across the country to mark the occasion on
Monday.
"During this summer, the president is renewing his call
to all Americans to identify needs in their communities, engage in
meaningful service to create change -- and stay engaged with these
projects long after September,'' says the Obama Administration press
release, which urges Americans to hit the website of the CNCS for ideas on where to volunteer.
Flopping Aces
points out that CNCS is the parent organization of AmeriCorps.
It’s the same CNCS that last year
suspended
Sacramento mayor/Obama crony Kevin Johnson from receiving federal funds
after then-inspector general Gerald Walpin
blew the whistle on massive fraud and abuse of AmeriCorps dollars
for personal and political gain.
It’s the same CNCS that then sat
by and meekly watched Team Obama and the U.S. Attorney in Sacramento
railroad Walpin after the November 2008 election for doing his
damned job.
And now, there is no honest, independent watchdog to
raise questions on behalf of taxpayers as the Obama political machine
takes over the national service juggernaut. How…convenient.
And we’re not only talking about a few speeches to the
organizations, we’re talking about the First Lady being waaaay to
involved in them.
Mrs. Obama’s interest is more than passing.
She ran the AmeriCorps-funded non-profit Public Allies in Chicago from
1993-1996 and served on its national board until 2001. Like so
many of the AmeriCorps recipients investigated by the inspector
general’s office over the years, Public Allies was found to have
violated basic eligibility and compliance rules. A January 2007
audit reported that the group lacked internal controls verifying
that recipients who received education grants and living allowances were
legal citizens or permanent residents as required by law.
And
lets not forget that the former chief of staff for Michelle Obama is now
a "senior adviser" at CNCS.
First Lady Michelle Obama’s chief of
staff, Jackie Norris, is being sent to the Corporation for National and
Community Service (CNCS) in what is both a White House shake-up and an
indication of the first lady’s sway over the corporation that oversees
AmeriCorps, Learn and Serve and the Senior Corps.
Observers
believe Norris, who Obama came to know early in the Iowa caucus
campaign, was forced out of the White House so that long-time Obama
friend Susan Sher could take over. But those same observers see her
appointment as senior adviser to the corporation as an overall win for
CNCS, believing that Norris still will have a straight line to the White
House.
On another note, the FBI is finally investigating
Sacramento Mayor Johnson’s obvious obstruction:
The FBI is
investigating allegations that an executive at a nonprofit founded by
Mayor Kevin Johnson obstructed a federal inquiry into the group’s
spending.
Two months ago, Johnson and the St. HOPE Academy agreed
to repay nearly $424,000 in federal grants to settle an investigation
into whether the nonprofit misused AmeriCorps money.
Acting U.S.
Attorney Lawrence G. Brown said he asked the FBI’s Sacramento division
to determine whether e-mails written by Johnson were deleted during the
earlier investigation.
And lastly, how can we forget how deeply
connected these groups in question are with
ACORN?
Here's more on
Michelle's involvement in Public Allies and Obama's National Security
Force.
