SEAL Team Six Families Set News Conference Thursday Morning; Obama to Face Tough Questions

Posted on May 8, 2013 by BobMcCarty

At 10 a.m. Eastern Thursday, Navy SEAL Team VI Families are holding a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. According to the NPC web page for the event, the families will reveal the government’s culpability in the deaths of their sons in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan following the successful raid on Osama Bin Laden’s compound. Taking place a day after the House Benghazi Hearings, this could be the proverbial “nail in the coffin” of the Obama Administration.

Below is the text of the news advisory on the NPC webpage:

(Washington, D.C.). Three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, will appear at a press conference on May 9, 2013, to disclose never before revealed information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the successful raid on the compound of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the master terrorist’s death.

Accompanying the families of these dead Navy SEAL Team VI special operations servicemen will be retired military experts verifying their accounts of how and why the government is as much responsible for the deaths of their sons as is the Taliban.

The areas of inquiry at the press conference will include but not be limited to:

1. How President Obama and Vice President Biden, having disclosed on May 4, 2011, that Navy Seal Team VI carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in the master terrorist’s death, put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes.

2. How and why high-level military officials sent these Navy SEAL Team VI heroes into battle without special operations aviation and proper air support.

3. How and why middle-level military brass carries out too many ill-prepared missions to boost their standing with top-level military brass and the Commander-in-Chief in order that they can be promoted.

4. How the military restricts special operations servicemen and others from engaging in timely return fire when fired upon by the Taliban and other terrorist groups and interests, thus jeopardizing the servicemen’s lives.

5. How and why the denial of requested pre-assault fire may have contributed to the shoot down of the Navy SEAL Team VI helicopter and the death of these special operations servicemen.

6. How Afghani forces accompanying the Navy SEAL Team VI servicemen on the helicopter were not properly vetted and how they possibly disclosed classified information to the Taliban about the mission, resulting in the shoot down of the helicopter.

7. How military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” will be shown with a certified translation.

“This press conference takes on special significance given that our government has over the last twelve years since September 11th committed brave American servicemen to wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that, in large part as a result of politics, were poorly conceived of and implemented, resulting in the deaths of thousands and the maiming of tens of thousands of our brave heroes. To make matters even worse, America has effectively lost these wars,” stated Larry Klayman, legal counsel for the families.

Pritzker ‘Definitely Confirmable’ as Commerce Secretary? No

Posted on May 2, 2013 by BobMcCarty

President Barack Obama is set to nominate hotel heiress and fellow Chicagoan Penny “Subprime” Pritzker to serve as Commerce Secretary, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune this morning. That report included one sentence which, in my opinion, is a stretch:

A senior administration official who asked not to be identified in order to talk about internal White House discussions said the administration concluded Pritzker was “definitely confirmable.”

Penny Pritzker Mini-Resume

Though I’m not going to take you too deep into the woods as I contest that statement, I will point you to a Feb. 14, 2008, article, Obama Campaign Finance Chair Tied to Subprime Scandal. It reveals Pritzker exercised poor judgment at best and corrupt thinking at worst, thereby disqualifying her for the role of Commerce Secretary.

From that article:

According to a Forbes article (Shaking the Family Tree by Stephane Fitch) published Sept. 30, 2002, “(Pritzker) represented her family’s half-interest in Superior Bank, a thrift operating in the Chicago suburbs” that “ran into trouble early in 2001 when a large number of subprime loans went into default.”

Is Prtizker a good fit for Commerce Secretary? If you consider Secretary of State John Kerry and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, just to name a few, “good fits” in their respective cabinet roles, then I suppose she it, too.

BENGHAZI: Obama Fails to Deliver on Promise of Justice

Posted on April 20, 2013 by BobMcCarty

By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Writer

Barack Obama stepped before the TV cameras, glanced at his teleprompters, and said, resolutely, “No act of terror will dim the light of the values that we proudly shine on the rest of the world, and no act of violence will shake the resolve of the United States of America.”

Obama’s reaction to the terrorist bombing in Boston? No, those were Obama’s words at a political fundraiser in Las Vegas Sept. 12, 2012, the day after the murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans in Benghazi, and less than 24 hours after he claims to have given the order to “secure our people” in Benghazi.

The next day, as he was massaging his radical base at the University of Colorado, and by which time he still had not checked with his Secretary of State or his Secretary of Defense to see what progress they’d made in rescuing our people in Benghazi, he said, “I want people around the world to hear me: To all those who would do us harm, no act of terror will go unpunished.”

Yeah, right. In the hours after the terrorist attack on innocent civilians in Boston, Obama’s principal concern was that we exercise caution in assigning blame. He certainly wouldn’t want to anger his friends in Cairo or Riyadh. Clearly avoiding the use of the words “terrorism” or “attack,” he said, “We still do not know who did this, or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But make no mistake: we will get to the bottom of this, we will find out who did this, we’ll find out why they did this. Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice.”

Reading between the lines, what he was saying was that he still had not heard from Morris Dees at the Southern Poverty Law Center, instructing him to blame the attack on either right wing militias or Tea Party activists… as was the case with Bill Clinton and Janet Reno in the hours after the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Not only do we not know who carried out the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, we still have not heard from the survivors who’ve been held incognito and who’ve been made to sign non-disclosure forms to prevent them from telling the Congress what they know.

So, Mr. Obama, please allow me to administer a brief multiple-choice test. There is one group of people on the face of the Earth who regularly explode bombs in public places, hoping to kill and maim as many innocent men, women, and children as possible. Would you say that group is composed of: a) Boy Scouts, b) Girl Scouts, c) Rotarians, d) Kiwanians, e) Daughters of the American Revolution, f) Carmelite Nuns, or g) Muslims?

You say you’re not sure? Well, neither were Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, your Democratic predecessors.

President Bill Clinton

On Feb. 7, 1995, ten weeks before the Oklahoma City Bombing, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center attack was arrested in Pakistan and turned over to U.S. authorities. Yet, it still didn’t occur to Bill Clinton and Janet Reno that they were dealing with something far more sinister and far more deadly than an “isolated criminal event,” which is how they characterized the first attack on the World Trade Center.

If they’d learned anything at all from the World Trade Center Bombing and the Islamic terrorists they’d convicted, one would think that they would have been acutely attuned to the possibility that the bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City just might be part of a pattern… especially in light of the fact that numerous eye witnesses and security cameras showed at least five individuals, Timothy McVeigh and three or four “Middle Eastern types,” speeding away from the Murrah Building just moments before a massive explosion took it down.

Police investigator Craig Roberts, the Tulsa police investigator assigned to the Oklahoma City investigation, author of The Medusa File, speculates that the FBI dropped the notion of Islamic terrorist involvement when the Southern Poverty Law Center, with an anti-right wing agenda, began spreading the word that right wing militia groups were among the most likely suspects.

Not surprisingly, the FBI investigators made an almost instantaneous 90-degree left turn, totally ignoring mountains of evidence of Middle Eastern involvement developed by local law enforcement and local news organizations.

In fact, when irrefutable evidence of Arab involvement was presented to FBI agents on the scene, they put their hands behind their backs and refused to even touch the documents. Did they have orders from Clinton and Reno to abandon the solid leads they were following and concentrate on chasing right ring militia groups and a couple of disgruntled white guys… McVeigh and Nichols?

Dr. Frederick Whitehurst, the FBI “whistle-blower” who charged the FBI laboratories with falsifying evidence to benefit prosecutions, said, “We (the FBI) find ourselves aligned against an administration that has demonstrated that its first allegiance is to determining guilt, and to hell with truth.”

If the Clinton Justice Department had followed the evidence in Oklahoma City, the trail of evidence would have led them directly to Abu Sayyef, and al-Qaeda in the Philippines. Their leader, Ramzi Youssef, was already aware that the federal building in Oklahoma City would be bombed, months before it happened.

If al-Qaeda had been interrupted at that point in time we might reasonably expect that the attacks on the Khobar Towers (1996), the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (1998), the USS Cole (2000), and the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (2001) might never have happened. Unfortunately, they didn’t do that. Once they had Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols in custody they simply stopped looking. They were more interested in “determining guilt” than in finding truth.

Less than eight months after President George W. Bush moved into the White House, Islamic terrorists flew four jet airliners into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in western Pennsylvania, killing some 3,000 people. Bush recognized the massive attack for what it was… another attack in a war that had been ongoing for many years… and he finally took steps to fight back.

Eric Holder

On Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder said that the FBI was committed to working with Libyan authorities to track down those who attacked and killed four Americans at Benghazi on September 11. Yet, a month later, the FBI still had not sent an evidence team to the American consulate in Benghazi. American newsmen found the floor littered with State Department documents, some of them of a classified nature.

Just hours after the Boston Marathon bombing, the Associated Press reported that “Eric Holder has directed the full resources of the Justice Department be deployed to investigate the bombs that exploded at the Boston Marathon.” Are those the same “full resources of the Justice Department” that were assigned to track down the guilty parties in Libya?

A department official said Holder has spoken with FBI Director Robert Mueller and with Carmen Ortiz, the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. The official said Ortiz’s office was coordinating the department’s response with the FBI and other federal, state and local law enforcement authorities.

Now, just four days later, the American people have been shown just what can be accomplished if the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and state and local police organizations are really determined to solve a heinous crime. So why are we still awaiting answers on what happened in Benghazi? When are the guilty parties going to be punished, as Obama promised? Could it be because he and Holder are just not that interested in having the American people learn the truth about Benghazi?

Obama and Holder may think they’re off the hook on Benghazi, but they’re not. Some 700 retired Special Operations officers and non-commissioned officers have signed an open letter to Congress, demanding that the Congress convene a Special Select Committee to get answers to the Benghazi debacle, and they will not relent. The Congress will ultimately get to the bottom of it.

And, oh yes, Mr. Obama, as you should know by now, the answer to the multiple choice question is… g) Muslims. They are the only people on the face of the Earth who regularly explode bombs in public places, hoping to kill and maim as many innocent men, women, and children as possible. And don’t let Morris Dees and his left wing radicals at the Southern Poverty Law Center convince you otherwise.

Communists Around the World Cheering Barack Obama

Posted on December 15, 2012 by BobMcCarty

By Paul R. Hollrah, Guest Writer

Ronald Reagan brought down the Soviet Union during the 1980s by bankrupting the “evil empire,” forcing the Kremlin to try to compete with his “Star Wars” missile defense program. They couldn’t keep pace in the arms race and the Soviet empire imploded.

So, as we now find ourselves racing headlong toward the so-called “fiscal cliff,” is this payback time for international communism? Is that what Barack Obama is all about? I have never been much of a conspiracy theorist… I try as best I can to stick to what we actually know to be true… but I’m beginning to see the outlines of a major international conspiracy. So humor me for a few moments, if you will.

In early 2008, when it looked as if Barack Obama might actually defeat the vaunted Clinton political machine, an article titled “The First Time I Heard of Barack” circulated on the Internet. It was written by a man named Tom Fife who claimed to have made frequent trips to Moscow in the early 1990s, working on a software-development joint venture with Russian partners.

On a trip to Moscow in early 1992, he and several other Americans were invited to dine at the apartment of their Russian associate. As he describes the evening, everything went well until late in the evening when their Russian partner’s wife, a hard core communist, launched into an anti-American tirade. She said, “You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven’t you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn’t do it… Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon.”

The Americans expressed the opinion that, yes, there was nothing to prevent a black man or a black woman from being elected president. The right person, at the right time, could easily be elected. To which the woman responded, “What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist? Well, you will; and he will be a Communist.”

As her husband tried vainly to change the subject, one of the Americans said, “It sounds like you know something we don’t know.”

According to Fife, she replied, “Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call ‘Ivy League.’ You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That’s right, a chocolate baby! And he’s going to be your President.”

I tried several times to locate Tom Fife so that I could ask him to confirm or deny the story attributed to him, but with no success. However, a four-part interview — Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4 — with Fife, by Jeff Rense, has recently surfaced:

Fast forward to the late ’80s or early ’90s, when Obama would have been in his late 20s. Postman Allen Hulton regularly delivered mail to the home of Bill Ayers’ parents in Glen Ellyn, Ill., a Chicago suburb. The Ayers family was quite proud that they had helped finance the education of a young black foreign student. One day, Hulton met the young man, who he claims was Barack Obama, on the sidewalk in front of the Ayers home. And when Hulton asked the young man about his plans for the future, he replied that he was going to be president of the United States.

Barack Obama Caricature by Political Graffiti Fast forward once again some ten or twelve years when a young black Illinois state senator first emerged as a rising star in the Democratic Party. On June 11, 2003, during the 108th Congress, Rep. Victor Snyder (D-AR) introduced House Joint Resolution 59, a proposal for a constitutional amendment to eliminate the “natural born Citizen” requirement of Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. The Snyder proposal was followed by H.J.R. 67, introduced on Sept. 3, 2003, by Rep. John Conyers, a radical black Democrat from Michigan. The Conyers amendment would have required only that presidents be U.S. citizens for 20 years, eliminating the “natural born” requirement. Few members could see the need to amendment the Constitution. Both proposals died in committee.

However, on July 27, 2004, an unknown young black man, Illinois state senator Barack Obama, delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention, creating immediate speculation among Democrats that he might one day be a candidate for president.

Just over five months later, on Jan. 4, 2005, early in the 109th Congress, Representative Conyers made a second attempt with the introduction of H.J.R. 2, proposing the same language as contained in H.J.R. 67 of the 108th Congress. And on April 14, 2005, Representative Snyder made yet another attempt, introducing H.J.R. 42, containing language identical to his H.J.R. 59 of the 108th Congress.

Since the “natural born Citizen” requirement of the U.S. Constitution had never before created a shortage of presidential candidates, why did the congressmen feel the need to overturn the desire of the Founders that all presidents must be “natural born” citizens? Perhaps we should be asking them what they knew about Obama’s lack of eligibility, and when did they know it?

Barack Obama was elected to the United States Senate in November 2004 and was sworn in during the first week of January 2005. Within weeks after taking the oath as a U.S. Senator, he launched into a campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

His principal opponent for the Democratic nomination was U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), but the powerful Clinton political machine was no match for the Chicago Democratic machine and on Aug. 27, 2008, a man with no real world experience… literally no experience of any kind… and who failed to meet the “natural born Citizen” requirement of Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution, was handed the Democratic presidential nomination.

However, as the convention drew to a close on Aug. 28, 2008, the chairman and secretary of the convention, Nancy Pelosi and Alice Travis Germond, respectively, had one final task to perform. It was their job to prepare certifications for all fifty state election boards, officially certifying the names, home addresses, and constitutional eligibility of the party’s candidates.

The certification sent only to the State of Hawaii, pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes §11-113 which requires that all certifications must contain eligibility language, read as follows: “THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though (sic) 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution.”

The remaining forty-nine states received the following certification: “THIS IS TO CERTIFY that at the National Convention of the Democrat Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 though (sic) 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party for President and Vice President of the United States respectively:”

Affixed were the names and home addresses of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The documents were signed by Pelosi and Germond, chairman and secretary, respectively, of the 2008 Democratic National Convention, and notarized by Shalifa A. Williamson.

The phrase, “… and that the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provisions of the United States Constitution” was purposely omitted. Other than that, all of the documents were absolutely identical… even to the misspelling of the word “through” in the second line of the certifications.

So when did Pelosi first learn that Barack Obama was ineligible to serve as president of the United States? And who else was involved in the conspiracy to make him president?

And now, as the greatest nation in recorded history rushes headlong toward fiscal ruin, that same community organizer from Chicago who hoodwinked enough voters, or stole enough votes, to get himself elected to two terms in the White House, stands alone with the power to either save or to bring down our nation.

As he sits across the desk from Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), refusing to make real spending cuts and refusing to discuss entitlements reform, it is quite clear that he has no desire to prevent our country from plunging over the “fiscal cliff.” Instead, as the committed communist he is, he would much prefer to see the capitalist system destroyed, and all of its adherents along with it. In the dark crevices where communists gather around the world, they are drinking to his health and cheering him on. This is known as “payback” time. Am I wrong?

Union Members Shoot Selves in the Twinkies®

Posted on November 16, 2012 by BobMcCarty

Twinkies® survived through more than eight decades, through good times and bad, but the junk food icon just couldn’t survive the reckless and destructive policies of Barack Obama and the mindset of the bakers union people who support him. A news release from the Hostess Brands website tells the sad tale.

Hostess Brands is Closed.

We are sorry to announce that Hostess Brands, Inc. has been forced by a Bakers Union strike to shut down all operations and sell all company assets. For more information, go to hostessbrands.info. Thank you for all of your loyalty and support over the years.

HOSTESS BRANDS TO WIND DOWN COMPANY AFTER BCTGM UNION STRIKE CRIPPLES OPERATIONS

Friday, November 16, 2012 at 7:00AM

Irving, TX – November 16, 2012 – Hostess Brands Inc. today announced that it is winding down operations and has filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to close its business and sell its assets, including its iconic brands and facilities. Bakery operations have been suspended at all plants. Delivery of products will continue and Hostess Brands retail stores will remain open for several days in order to sell already-baked products.

The Board of Directors authorized the wind down of Hostess Brands to preserve and maximize the value of the estate after one of the Company’s largest unions, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM), initiated a nationwide strike that crippled the Company’s ability to produce and deliver products at multiple facilities.

On Nov. 12, Hostess Brands permanently closed three plants as a result of the work stoppage. On Nov. 14, the Company announced it would be forced to liquidate if sufficient employees did not return to work to restore normal operations by 5 p.m., EST p.m., Nov. 15. The Company determined on the night of Nov. 15 that an insufficient number of employees had returned to work to enable the restoration of normal operations.

The BCTGM in September rejected a last, best and final offer from Hostess Brands designed to lower costs so that the Company could attract new financing and emerge from Chapter 11. Hostess Brands then received Court authority on Oct. 3 to unilaterally impose changes to the BCTGM’s collective bargaining agreements.

Hostess Brands is unprofitable under its current cost structure, much of which is determined by union wages and pension costs. The offer to the BCTGM included wage, benefit and work rule concessions but also gave Hostess Brands’ 12 unions a 25 percent ownership stake in the company, representation on its Board of Directors and $100 million in reorganized Hostess Brands’ debt.

“We deeply regret the necessity of today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike,” said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer. “Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.”

In addition to dozens of baking and distribution facilities around the country, Hostess Brands will sell its popular brands, including Hostess®, Drakes® and Dolly Madison®, which make iconic cake products such as Twinkies®, CupCakes, Ding Dongs®, Ho Ho’s®, Sno Balls® and Donettes®. Bread brands to be sold include Wonder®, Nature’s Pride ®, Merita®, Home Pride®, Butternut®, and Beefsteak®, among others.

The wind down means the closure of 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers, approximately 5,500 delivery routes and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the United States.

The Company said its debtor-in-possession lenders have agreed to allow the Company to continue to have access to the $75 million financing facility put in place at the start of the bankruptcy cases to fund the sale and wind down process, subject to U.S. Bankruptcy Court approval.

The Company’s motion asks the Court for authority to continue to pay employees whose services are required during the wind-down period.

For employees whose jobs will be eliminated, additional information can be found at hostessbrands.info. The website also contains information for customers and vendors. Most employees who lose their jobs should be eligible for government-provided unemployment benefits.

The first ad (above) features the names of more than 500 flag officers (i.e., retired admirals and generals) who endorsed Mitt Romney’s campaign for president and ran early this week. The second ad (below) ran today in a 40-story special section of the newspaper and calls for an investigation of potential high crimes and misdemeanors related to “BenghaziGate,” the tragic and preventable series of events that took place Sept. 11, 2012, and resulted in the deaths of four Americans at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Voting is the Best Revenge?

Posted on November 5, 2012 by BobMcCarty

On the campaign trail recently, President Barack Obama said, “Voting is the best revenge.” Really? In an editorial published yesterday beneath the headline, Getting even is the best revenge, writer Dana Beyerle eloquently challenges Obama’s assertion.

Writing on his “Capitol Insider” blog, the capital bureau reporter for The Gadsden (Ala.) Times and Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News begins by defining the term, “revenge,” and then asks some important questions of the president:

“Spite or vindictiveness.” Mr. President, what did anyone ever do to you that you want revenge inflicted? What could possibly have led you to seek revenge or urge vindictiveness? What injury or insult did anyone ever inflict on you? You had a charmed upbringing, the product of all the right private schools: St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School (and the public Besuki School) in Indonesia, Punahou School in Honolulu, Occidental College, Columbia University in the City of New York and Harvard University.

Beyerle goes on to take Obama to the proverbial “woodshed” in a manner far more civil than the one in which he probably deserves to be taken.

Though the headline seemed to be missing a question mark at the end, the editorial is one every voter should read before they vote for president Tuesday. I hope you’ll share it.

EDITOR’S NOTE: I think the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate all of Obama’s anti-American/criminal actions is in order. Let’s call it meting out justice, not revenge.
