<b id="docs-internal-guid-52d1aa4f-afac-d9c6-4076-5e99e242d21b"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">It happened last Thursday, 16 January 2014. Not one, but two petitions have been filed and were posted simultaneously at the official petition website of the White House. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: cyan;">The proponents of the petitions are calling for the American Administration to “recognize Muslim holidays throughout the United States of America. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Both petitions have been posted on behalf of two groups: </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: cyan;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Support the movement of having Muslim holidays recognized in the school year, throughout the United States of America</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">; and, </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: cyan;">- Recognize Muslim holidays throughout the school year</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">However, as required by the White House petition protocol, the petitions will have to get 100,000 signatures by 15 February and only after that the White House may consider answering the petition.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Some make comparisons between Islam and other religions, purposefully oblivious that there is absolutely no other religion whose members go around the globe blowing themselves up, massacring innocent victims with them, to the cry of Allah hu Akbar. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;"><br class="kix-line-break" />Therein lies one of the main differences in comparing Islam with other religions. But, comparisons do not stop there, far from that. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Pseudo-religious Muslims, their extremists, radicals and their terrorists, are keen in following instructions from some of their self-asserted, self-righteous leaders, their Prophet and others that operate safely behind the scenes, pulling the strings in an almost silent but subtle, insidious way. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Their XXIst century, hypocritically gentle, misleadingly soft-spoken “theoreticians” who, in the mildest of manners, relentlessly incite their masses and give them excuses to commit violence. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">From a theological point of view, the fact that Muslim radicals and terrorists actually implement men’s dictates, give the latter the form of human-deities. But, wait, aren’t they precisely against idolatry? Go figure. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Muslims celebrate - EId Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha, then Ramadan, which takes place during 30-days, and Ashura, which is also another Islamic holiday. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Just as the Jewish calendar, the Muslim calendar is also based on the lunar cycle, which means the holidays fall on a different date each year.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: cyan;">Read the argument stated by the Muslim petitioners: </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: cyan;"><br /><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: cyan;">"With the growing population of Muslims in the United States of America (including first, second, third, and fourth generation) we believe it is high time that Muslim holidays are recognized by schools throughout this nation. Unfortunately many Muslim families are forced to choose between their children's education and their religious obligations. Muslim school children and staff deserve the same benefits afforded to the followers of other faiths. We call on President Obama to support this petition and advance the inclusiveness of our great nation.”</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Last December, three middle-school students from Virginia posted their first petition asking for recognition of Muslim religious holidays, but it failed for lack of signatures. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Indeed, Muslims are feeling more and more emboldened as time goes by. The 2011 census, it showed that the number of Muslims in America has skyrocketed from 1.5 million to 2.6 million. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">The 9/11 Muslim massacre that cost the lives of 3,500 innocent Americans in times of peace, has never been followed by a massive Muslim apology and the contrite repentance plus the unconditional promise they would reign in their terrorists and stop their designs of world domination.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">On the contrary, they have received help from a key ally who managed to be given the role of the American President and who has, without much ado, ordered the removal of Islam and has forbidden its mention as the source of inspiration and implementation of the 9/11 massacre and other acts of terrorism committed thereafter. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Despite all that, Muslims keep accusing the American society of being increasingly hostile to the Muslim community and have had the audacity of accusing Americans of fighting “covert battles through indirect oppositions.”</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Animosity at large, they say, has opposed construction of mosques and other Islamic facilities. The most recent incident remains the national uproar over plans for a community center that became known as the "Ground Zero mosque" in Lower Manhattan, a few steps away from the place where the 9/11 attacks took place. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Americans know that Islamic conquests are crowned by the building of huge mosques at the place that once was meaningful to the life of locals, like the Al Aqsa mosque built on top of where was the Second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Israel, but there are other such examples in the world. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obviously, </span><a href="http://elianaschoice.blogspot.ch/2011/07/list-of-muslim-institutions-in-america.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Muslims think they do not have enough mosques in America, but there is crushing proof to the contrary</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Let’s take a look at the situation of Christianity, Judaism, Baha’ism, as well as other religions in the midst of the Muslim world, the realm of Islam. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Not only there are practically no churches and even less, synagogues, temples, etc., but Christians are being outright and mercilessly persecuted as a result of what their Prophet has ordered them to do. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Churches are being burned, Christians are being summarily executed, beheaded and their children are being forced to convert to Islam, plus other atrocities. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">As for Judaism, it is a religion that does not proselytize, and whoever wants to convert has to deal with a great amount of intense rejection. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Regarding religious holidays in America: </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Only Christian holidays are national holidays, and so it should be. America is a Christian country. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">Saudi Arabia, for instance, is a Muslim country where Islam is the religion and they celebrate nationwide their own holidays. And so it should be. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffd966;">As for Jewish holidays, NONE of them are part of the “national” American holidays. They are all observed in the discretion of the Jewish homes and their synagogues. There has never been any attempt from the American Jewish communities to impose their holidays as American national holidays. Period. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: cyan;">All that said, the American people should be wary of how the Obama Administration will deal with that petition. It is only a question of time for Muslims to get those 100,000 signatures. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: cyan;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">ISLAM is not only terrorism and the sickening endless quest for world domination. There are indeed some Muslim voices who are just the people's voices. They love good things, they enjoy Western style of life. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">As it is, Islam's louder rhetoric is pushing many of their own away from their nest in a way that they are losing the faith in God altogether. And that's the troublesome and most difficult peril,, for atheism and secularism are the doors to more and more renunciation of morale values and principles. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 22px;">That deterioration comes unsuspecting by the </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">recipients, who innocently aspire for a democracy that's intrinsically damaging the values of God, country and family. They also long for equality, when equality does not and cannot and will never exist -except in the minds of those magician demagogues who astutely try and convince the masses of the contrary. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">This, is the story of the quest and courage of a Muslim woman who has left her people and her religion at the risk of her life: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">Amal Farah, a 32-year-old banking executive, is laughing about a contestant singing off-key in the last series of The X Factor. For a woman who was not allowed to listen to music when she was growing up, this is a delight. After years of turmoil, she is in control of her own life.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffd966; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">On the face of it, she is a product of modern Britain. Born in Somalia to Muslim parents, she grew up in Yemen and came to the UK in her late teens. After questioning her faith, she became an atheist and married a Jewish lawyer. But this has come at a cost. When she turned her back on her religion, she was disowned by her family and received death threats. She has not seen her mother or her siblings for eight years. None of them have met her husband or daughter.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Obviously, Obama is reading many of us. Watch his parable, his vocabulary, speaking of all that the opposition has been speaking about. No doubt, the Obama machine has some very shrewd minds that will try to wrap his rhetoric in the gift paper in which they can easily wrap their gullible remaining loyalists. </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>In the words of Obama and his speech writers: </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>At the dawn of our Republic, a small, secret surveillance committee borne out of the “The Sons of Liberty” was established in Boston. The group’s members included Paul Revere, and at night they would patrol the streets, reporting back any signs that the British were preparing raids against America’s early Patriots.</b></span><br />

<div id="continue">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Throughout American history, intelligence has helped secure our country and our freedoms. In the Civil War, Union balloon reconnaissance tracked the size of Confederate armies by counting the number of camp fires. In World War II, code-breaking gave us insight into Japanese war plans, and when Patton marched across Europe, intercepted communications helped save the lives of his troops. After the war, the rise of the Iron Curtain and nuclear weapons only increased the need for sustained intelligence-gathering. And so, in the early days of the Cold War, President Truman created the National Security Agency to give us insight into the Soviet bloc, and provide our leaders with information they needed to confront aggression and avert catastrophe.</b></span></div>
<div id="continue">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Throughout this evolution, we benefited from both our Constitution and traditions of limited government. U.S. intelligence agencies were anchored in our system of checks and balances – with oversight from elected leaders, and protections for ordinary citizens. Meanwhile, totalitarian states like East Germany offered a cautionary tale of what could happen when vast, unchecked surveillance turned citizens into informers, and persecuted people for what they said in the privacy of their own homes.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>In fact even the United States proved not to be immune to the abuse of surveillance. In the 1960s, government spied on civil rights leaders and critics of the Vietnam War. Partly in response to these revelations, additional laws were established in the 1970s to ensure that our intelligence capabilities could not be misused against our citizens. In the long, twilight struggle against Communism, we had been reminded that the very liberties that we sought to preserve could not be sacrificed at the altar of national security.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>If the fall of the Soviet Union left America without a competing superpower, emerging threats from terrorist groups, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction placed new – and, in some ways more complicated – demands on our intelligence agencies. Globalization and the Internet made these threats more acute, as technology erased borders and empowered individuals to project great violence, as well as great good. Moreover, these new threats raised new legal and policy questions. For while few doubted the legitimacy of spying on hostile states, our framework of laws was not fully adapted to prevent terrorist attacks by individuals acting on their own, or acting in small, ideologically driven groups rather than on behalf of a foreign power.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>The horror of September 11th brought these issues to the fore. Across the political spectrum, Americans recognized that we had to adapt to a world in which a bomb could be built in a basement, and our electric grid could be shut down by operators an ocean away. We were shaken by the signs we had missed leading up to the attacks – how the hijackers had made phone calls to known extremists, and travelled to suspicious places. So we demanded that our intelligence community improve its capabilities, and that law enforcement change practices to focus more on preventing attacks before they happen than prosecuting terrorists after an attack.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>It is hard to overstate the transformation America’s intelligence community had to go through after 9/11. Our agencies suddenly needed to do far more than the traditional mission of monitoring hostile powers and gathering information for policymakers – instead, they were asked to identify and target plotters in some of the most remote parts of the world, and to anticipate the actions of networks that, by their very nature, cannot be easily penetrated with spies or informants.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>And it is a testimony to the hard work and dedication of the men and women in our intelligence community that over the past decade, we made enormous strides in fulfilling this mission. Today, new capabilities allow intelligence agencies to track who a terrorist is in contact with, and follow the trail of his travel or funding. New laws allow information to be collected and shared more quickly between federal agencies, and state and local law enforcement. Relationships with foreign intelligence services have expanded, and our capacity to repel cyber-attacks has been strengthened. Taken together, these efforts have prevented multiple attacks and saved innocent lives – not just here in the United States, but around the globe as well.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>And yet, in our rush to respond to very real and novel threats, the risks of government overreach – the possibility that we lose some of our core liberties in pursuit of security – became more pronounced. We saw, in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, our government engaged in enhanced interrogation techniques that contradicted our values. As a Senator, I was critical of several practices, such as warrantless wiretaps. And all too often new authorities were instituted without adequate public debate.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Through a combination of action by the courts, increased congressional oversight, and adjustments by the previous Administration, some of the worst excesses that emerged after 9/11 were curbed by the time I took office. But a variety of factors have continued to complicate America’s efforts to both defend our nation and uphold our civil liberties.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>First, the same technological advances that allow U.S. intelligence agencies to pin-point an al Qaeda cell in Yemen or an email between two terrorists in the Sahel, also mean that many routine communications around the world are within our reach. At a time when more and more of our lives are digital, that prospect is disquieting for all of us.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Second, the combination of increased digital information and powerful supercomputers offers intelligence agencies the possibility of sifting through massive amounts of bulk data to identify patterns or pursue leads that may thwart impending threats. But the government collection and storage of such bulk data also creates a potential for abuse.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Third, the legal safeguards that restrict surveillance against U.S. persons without a warrant do not apply to foreign persons overseas. This is not unique to America; few, if any, spy agencies around the world constrain their activities beyond their own borders. And the whole point of intelligence is to obtain information that is not publicly available. But America’s capabilities are unique. And the power of new technologies means that there are fewer and fewer technical constraints on what we can do. That places a special obligation on us to ask tough questions about what we should do.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Finally, intelligence agencies cannot function without secrecy, which makes their work less subject to public debate. Yet there is an inevitable bias not only within the intelligence community, but among all who are responsible for national security, to collect more information about the world, not less. So in the absence of institutional requirements for regular debate – and oversight that is public, as well as private – the danger of government overreach becomes more acute. This is particularly true when surveillance technology and our reliance on digital information is evolving much faster than our laws.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>For all these reasons, I maintained a healthy skepticism toward our surveillance programs after I became President. I ordered that our programs be reviewed by my national security team and our lawyers, and in some cases I ordered changes in how we did business. We increased oversight and auditing, including new structures aimed at compliance. Improved rules were proposed by the government and approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. And we sought to keep Congress continually updated on these activities.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>What I did not do is stop these programs wholesale – not only because I felt that they made us more secure; but also because nothing in that initial review, and nothing that I have learned since, indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>To the contrary, in an extraordinarily difficult job, one in which actions are second-guessed, success is unreported, and failure can be catastrophic, the men and women of the intelligence community, including the NSA, consistently follow protocols designed to protect the privacy of ordinary people. They are not abusing authorities in order to listen to your private phone calls, or read your emails. When mistakes are made – which is inevitable in any large and complicated human enterprise – they correct those mistakes. Laboring in obscurity, often unable to discuss their work even with family and friends, they know that if another 9/11 or massive cyber-attack occurs, they will be asked, by Congress and the media, why they failed to connect the dots. What sustains those who work at NSA through all these pressures is the knowledge that their professionalism and dedication play a central role in the defense of our nation.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>To say that our intelligence community follows the law, and is staffed by patriots, is not to suggest that I, or others in my Administration, felt complacent about the potential impact of these programs. Those of us who hold office in America have a responsibility to our Constitution, and while I was confident in the integrity of those in our intelligence community, it was clear to me in observing our intelligence operations on a regular basis that changes in our technological capabilities were raising new questions about the privacy safeguards currently in place. Moreover, after an extended review of our use of drones in the fight against terrorist networks, I believed a fresh examination of our surveillance programs was a necessary next step in our effort to get off the open ended war-footing that we have maintained since 9/11. For these reasons, I indicated in a speech at the National Defense University last May that we needed a more robust public discussion about the balance between security and liberty. What I did not know at the time is that within weeks of my speech, an avalanche of unauthorized disclosures would spark controversies at home and abroad that have continued to this day.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Given the fact of an open investigation, I’m not going to dwell on Mr. Snowden’s actions or motivations. I will say that our nation’s defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation’s secrets. If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy. Moreover, the sensational way in which these disclosures have come out has often shed more heat than light, while revealing methods to our adversaries that could impact our operations in ways that we may not fully understand for years to come.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Regardless of how we got here, though, the task before us now is greater than simply repairing the damage done to our operations; or preventing more disclosures from taking place in the future. Instead, we have to make some important decisions about how to protect ourselves and sustain our leadership in the world, while upholding the civil liberties and privacy protections that our ideals – and our Constitution – require. We need to do so not only because it is right, but because the challenges posed by threats like terrorism, proliferation, and cyber-attacks are not going away any time soon, and for our intelligence community to be effective over the long haul, we must maintain the trust of the American people, and people around the world.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>This effort will not be completed overnight, and given the pace of technological change, we shouldn’t expect this to be the last time America has this debate. But I want the American people to know that the work has begun. Over the last six months, I created an outside Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies to make recommendations for reform. I’ve consulted with the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board. I’ve listened to foreign partners, privacy advocates, and industry leaders. My Administration has spent countless hours considering how to approach intelligence in this era of diffuse threats and technological revolution. And before outlining specific changes that I have ordered, let me make a few broad observations that have emerged from this process.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>First, everyone who has looked at these problems, including skeptics of existing programs, recognizes that we have real enemies and threats, and that intelligence serves a vital role in confronting them. We cannot prevent terrorist attacks or cyber-threats without some capability to penetrate digital communications – whether it’s to unravel a terrorist plot; to intercept malware that targets a stock exchange; to make sure air traffic control systems are not compromised; or to ensure that hackers do not empty your bank accounts.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Moreover, we cannot unilaterally disarm our intelligence agencies. There is a reason why blackberries and I-Phones are not allowed in the White House Situation Room. We know that the intelligence services of other countries – including some who feign surprise over the Snowden disclosures – are constantly probing our government and private sector networks, and accelerating programs to listen to our conversations, intercept our emails, or compromise our systems. Meanwhile, a number of countries, including some who have loudly criticized the NSA, privately acknowledge that America has special responsibilities as the world’s only superpower; that our intelligence capabilities are critical to meeting these responsibilities; and that they themselves have relied on the information we obtain to protect their own people.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Second, just as ardent civil libertarians recognize the need for robust intelligence capabilities, those with responsibilities for our national security readily acknowledge the potential for abuse as intelligence capabilities advance, and more and more private information is digitized. After all, the folks at NSA and other intelligence agencies are our neighbors and our friends. They have electronic bank and medical records like everyone else. They have kids on Facebook and Instagram, and they know, more than most of us, the vulnerabilities to privacy that exist in a world where transactions are recorded; emails and text messages are stored; and even our movements can be tracked through the GPS on our phones.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Third, there was a recognition by all who participated in these reviews that the challenges to our privacy do not come from government alone. Corporations of all shapes and sizes track what you buy, store and analyze our data, and use it for commercial purposes; that’s how those targeted ads pop up on your computer or smartphone. But all of us understand that the standards for government surveillance must be higher. Given the unique power of the state, it is not enough for leaders to say: trust us, we won’t abuse the data we collect. For history has too many examples when that trust has been breached. Our system of government is built on the premise that our liberty cannot depend on the good intentions of those in power; it depends upon the law to constrain those in power.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>I make these observations to underscore that the basic values of most Americans when it comes to questions of surveillance and privacy converge far more than the crude characterizations that have emerged over the last several months. Those who are troubled by our existing programs are not interested in a repeat of 9/11, and those who defend these programs are not dismissive of civil liberties. The challenge is getting the details right, and that’s not simple. Indeed, during the course of our review, I have often reminded myself that I would not be where I am today were it not for the courage of dissidents, like Dr. King, who were spied on by their own government; as a President who looks at intelligence every morning, I also can’t help but be reminded that America must be vigilant in the face of threats.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Fortunately, by focusing on facts and specifics rather than speculation and hypotheticals, this review process has given me – and hopefully the American people – some clear direction for change. And today, I can announce a series of concrete and substantial reforms that my Administration intends to adopt administratively or will seek to codify with Congress.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>First, I have approved a new presidential directive for our signals intelligence activities, at home and abroad. This guidance will strengthen executive branch oversight of our intelligence activities. It will ensure that we take into account our security requirements, but also our alliances; our trade and investment relationships, including the concerns of America’s companies; and our commitment to privacy and basic liberties. And we will review decisions about intelligence priorities and sensitive targets on an annual basis, so that our actions are regularly scrutinized by my senior national security team.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Second, we will reform programs and procedures in place to provide greater transparency to our surveillance activities, and fortify the safeguards that protect the privacy of U.S. persons. Since we began this review, including information being released today, we have declassified over 40 opinions and orders of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which provides judicial review of some of our most sensitive intelligence activities – including the Section 702 program targeting foreign individuals overseas and the Section 215 telephone metadata program. Going forward, I am directing the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Attorney General, to annually review – for the purpose of declassification – any future opinions of the Court with broad privacy implications, and to report to me and Congress on these efforts. To ensure that the Court hears a broader range of privacy perspectives, I am calling on Congress to authorize the establishment of a panel of advocates from outside government to provide an independent voice in significant cases before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Third, we will provide additional protections for activities conducted under Section 702, which allows the government to intercept the communications of foreign targets overseas who have information that’s important for our national security. Specifically, I am asking the Attorney General and DNI to institute reforms that place additional restrictions on government’s ability to retain, search, and use in criminal cases, communications between Americans and foreign citizens incidentally collected under Section 702.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Fourth, in investigating threats, the FBI also relies on National Security Letters, which can require companies to provide specific and limited information to the government without disclosing the orders to the subject of the investigation. These are cases in which it is important that the subject of the investigation, such as a possible terrorist or spy, isn’t tipped off. But we can – and should – be more transparent in how government uses this authority. I have therefore directed the Attorney General to amend how we use National Security Letters so this secrecy will not be indefinite, and will terminate within a fixed time unless the government demonstrates a real need for further secrecy. We will also enable communications providers to make public more information than ever before about the orders they have received to provide data to the government.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>This brings me to program that has generated the most controversy these past few months – the bulk collection of telephone records under Section 215. Let me repeat what I said when this story first broke – this program does not involve the content of phone calls, or the names of people making calls. Instead, it provides a record of phone numbers and the times and lengths of calls – meta-data that can be queried if and when we have a reasonable suspicion that a particular number is linked to a terrorist organization.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Why is this necessary? The program grew out of a desire to address a gap identified after 9/11. One of the 9/11 hijackers – Khalid al-Mihdhar – made a phone call from San Diego to a known al Qaeda safe-house in Yemen. NSA saw that call, but could not see that it was coming from an individual already in the United States. The telephone metadata program under Section 215 was designed to map the communications of terrorists, so we can see who they may be in contact with as quickly as possible. This capability could also prove valuable in a crisis. For example, if a bomb goes off in one of our cities and law enforcement is racing to determine whether a network is poised to conduct additional attacks, time is of the essence. Being able to quickly review telephone connections to assess whether a network exists is critical to that effort.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>In sum, the program does not involve the NSA examining the phone records of ordinary Americans. Rather, it consolidates these records into a database that the government can query if it has a specific lead – phone records that the companies already retain for business purposes. The Review Group turned up no indication that this database has been intentionally abused. And I believe it is important that the capability that this program is designed to meet is preserved. </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Having said that, I believe critics are right to point out that without proper safeguards, this type of program could be used to yield more information about our private lives, and open the door to more intrusive, bulk collection programs. They also rightly point out that although the telephone bulk collection program was subject to oversight by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and has been reauthorized repeatedly by Congress, it has never been subject to vigorous public debate.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>For all these reasons, I believe we need a new approach. I am therefore ordering a transition that will end the Section 215 bulk metadata program as it currently exists, and establish a mechanism that preserves the capabilities we need without the government holding this bulk meta-data.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>This will not be simple. The Review Group recommended that our current approach be replaced by one in which the providers or a third party retain the bulk records, with the government accessing information as needed. Both of these options pose difficult problems. Relying solely on the records of multiple providers, for example, could require companies to alter their procedures in ways that raise new privacy concerns. On the other hand, any third party maintaining a single, consolidated data-base would be carrying out what is essentially a government function with more expense, more legal ambiguity, and a doubtful impact on public confidence that their privacy is being protected.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>During the review process, some suggested that we may also be able to preserve the capabilities we need through a combination of existing authorities, better information sharing, and recent technological advances. But more work needs to be done to determine exactly how this system might work.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Because of the challenges involved, I’ve ordered that the transition away from the existing program will proceed in two steps. Effective immediately, we will only pursue phone calls that are two steps removed from a number associated with a terrorist organization instead of three. And I have directed the Attorney General to work with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court so that during this transition period, the database can be queried only after a judicial finding, or in a true emergency.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Next, I have instructed the intelligence community and Attorney General to use this transition period to develop options for a new approach that can match the capabilities and fill the gaps that the Section 215 program was designed to address without the government holding this meta-data. They will report back to me with options for alternative approaches before the program comes up for reauthorization on March 28. During this period, I will consult with the relevant committees in Congress to seek their views, and then seek congressional authorization for the new program as needed.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>The reforms I’m proposing today should give the American people greater confidence that their rights are being protected, even as our intelligence and law enforcement agencies maintain the tools they need to keep us safe. I recognize that there are additional issues that require further debate. For example, some who participated in our review, as well as some in Congress, would like to see more sweeping reforms to the use of National Security Letters, so that we have to go to a judge before issuing these requests. Here, I have concerns that we should not set a standard for terrorism investigations that is higher than those involved in investigating an ordinary crime. But I agree that greater oversight on the use of these letters may be appropriate, and am prepared to work with Congress on this issue. There are also those who would like to see different changes to the FISA court than the ones I have proposed. On all of these issues, I am open to working with Congress to ensure that we build a broad consensus for how to move forward, and am confident that we can shape an approach that meets our security needs while upholding the civil liberties of every American.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Let me now turn to the separate set of concerns that have been raised overseas, and focus on America’s approach to intelligence collection abroad. As I’ve indicated, the United States has unique responsibilities when it comes to intelligence collection. Our capabilities help protect not only our own nation, but our friends and allies as well. Our efforts will only be effective if ordinary citizens in other countries have confidence that the United States respects their privacy too. And the leaders of our close friends and allies deserve to know that if I want to learn what they think about an issue, I will pick up the phone and call them, rather than turning to surveillance. In other words, just as we balance security and privacy at home, our global leadership demands that we balance our security requirements against our need to maintain trust and cooperation among people and leaders around the world.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>For that reason, the new presidential directive that I have issued today will clearly prescribe what we do, and do not do, when it comes to our overseas surveillance. To begin with, the directive makes clear that the United States only uses signals intelligence for legitimate national security purposes, and not for the purpose of indiscriminately reviewing the emails or phone calls of ordinary people. I have also made it clear that the United States does not collect intelligence to suppress criticism or dissent, nor do we collect intelligence to disadvantage people on the basis of their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs. And we do not collect intelligence to provide a competitive advantage to U.S. companies, or U.S. commercial sectors.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>In terms of our bulk collection of signals intelligence, U.S. intelligence agencies will only use such data to meet specific security requirements: counter-intelligence; counter-terrorism; counter-proliferation; cyber-security; force protection for our troops and allies; and combating transnational crime, including sanctions evasion. Moreover, I have directed that we take the unprecedented step of extending certain protections that we have for the American people to people overseas. I have directed the DNI, in consultation with the Attorney General, to develop these safeguards, which will limit the duration that we can hold personal information, while also restricting the use of this information.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>The bottom line is that people around the world – regardless of their nationality – should know that the United States is not spying on ordinary people who don’t threaten our national security, and that we take their privacy concerns into account. This applies to foreign leaders as well. Given the understandable attention that this issue has received, I have made clear to the intelligence community that – unless there is a compelling national security purpose – we will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government of our close friends and allies. And I’ve instructed my national security team, as well as the intelligence community, to work with foreign counterparts to deepen our coordination and cooperation in ways that rebuild trust going forward.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Now let me be clear: our intelligence agencies will continue to gather information about the intentions of governments – as opposed to ordinary citizens – around the world, in the same way that the intelligence services of every other nation does. We will not apologize simply because our services may be more effective. But heads of state and government with whom we work closely, and on whose cooperation we depend, should feel confident that we are treating them as real partners. The changes I’ve ordered do just that.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Finally, to make sure that we follow through on these reforms, I am making some important changes to how our government is organized. The State Department will designate a senior officer to coordinate our diplomacy on issues related to technology and signals intelligence. We will appoint a senior official at the White House to implement the new privacy safeguards that I have announced today. I will devote the resources to centralize and improve the process we use to handle foreign requests for legal assistance, keeping our high standards for privacy while helping foreign partners fight crime and terrorism.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>I have also asked my Counselor, John Podesta, to lead a comprehensive review of big data and privacy. This group will consist of government officials who—along with the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology—will reach out to privacy experts, technologists and business leaders, and look at how the challenges inherent in big data are being confronted by both the public and private sectors; whether we can forge international norms on how to manage this data; and how we can continue to promote the free flow of information in ways that are consistent with both privacy and security. </b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>For ultimately, what’s at stake in this debate goes far beyond a few months of headlines, or passing tensions in our foreign policy. When you cut through the noise, what’s really at stake is how we remain true to who we are in a world that is remaking itself at dizzying speed. Whether it’s the ability of individuals to communicate ideas; to access information that would have once filled every great library in every country in the world; or to forge bonds with people on other sides of the globe, technology is remaking what is possible for individuals, for institutions, and for the international order. So while the reforms that I have announced will point us in a new direction, I am mindful that more work will be needed in the future.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>One thing I’m certain of: this debate will make us stronger. And I also know that in this time of change, the United States of America will have to lead. It may seem sometimes that America is being held to a different standard, and the readiness of some to assume the worst motives by our government can be frustrating. No one expects China to have an open debate about their surveillance programs, or Russia to take the privacy concerns of citizens into account. But let us remember that we are held to a different standard precisely because we have been at the forefront in defending personal privacy and human dignity.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>As the nation that developed the Internet, the world expects us to ensure that the digital revolution works as a tool for individual empowerment rather than government control. Having faced down the totalitarian dangers of fascism and communism, the world expects us to stand up for the principle that every person has the right to think and write and form relationships freely – because individual freedom is the wellspring of human progress.</b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;"><b>Those values make us who we are. And because of the strength of our own democracy, we should not shy away from high expectations. For more than two centuries, our Constitution has weathered every type of change because we have been willing to defend it, and because we have been willing to question the actions that have been taken in its defense. Today is no different. Together, let us chart a way forward that secures the life of our nation, while preserving the liberties that make our nation worth fighting for. Thank you. </b></span><br />

In fact, the Obama Administration has given the IRS an extra $500 million to enforce the rules and regulations of Obamacare. </span></span></div>

In fact, it is already starting to happen, which may be the reason why the Obama Administration decided to postpone the so-called “Employer Mandate” until January 1, 2015, safely after the midterm elections. As it is, even workers who are lucky enough to keep their jobs will see their paychecks cut, because </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obamacare says that if one only works 30 hours a week, employers don’t have to buy insurance for those employers</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Which means, employers will start turning some of their full-time employees into part-time employees by cutting their hours from 40 to 30 per week. </span></span></div>

Some will go bankrupt under Obamacare, some will go into other fields and some will take early retirement. What’s worse, is that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">thousands of bright young men and women will choose NOT to become doctors in the first place</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Obamacare will impose punishing paperwork burdens on doctors, hospitals, and on the rest of the healthcare system.

Romneycare in Massachusetts has already have that effect. There, the average waiting time to see a doctor has gone from “only” 33 days to a crushing 55 days. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Indeed, Obamacare will turn millions of honest, hardworking Americans into criminals if they don’t buy health insurance. The good news is that they </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">cannot</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> put anyone in jail for not buying health insurance. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Obamacare has set a very large fine for not having health insurance even if you do have health insurance. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Top executives may ‘think’ they will be okay because they are top executives at their companies with a “gold-plated” insurance plan that covers their entire families. However, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the new law specifies that everyone, from the CEO to the janitor, has to have the exact same insurance policy</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Speaking of family, there is </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">nothing</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in Obamacare about covering the family. Therefore, if the family currently is covered by the employer, don’t be surprised if said coverage vanishes overnight. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That said, if you decide to buy insurance on one of the new “health exchanges,” the good news is that one can choose between Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum plans -but, as mentioned above, the bad news is that, except for the deductible, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">they are all exactly the same</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which means that buying an Obamacare insurance policy is like buying a Model T from Henry Ford. “You can get a Model T in any color you want,” said Ford. “As long as it is black.” </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The dirty little secret about Obamacare is that millions of Americans will simply be moved over to Medicaid. Since doctors and hospitals lose on Medicaid, they will make up for their losses by overcharging the patients. That’s why Americans can expect to see their own premiums rise, even if they have private insurance. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Likewise, Americans will also pay for substance abuse coverage on their insurance policy -even if they have never touched a drink or a drug in their life. Who knows, that may be a reason for the country to go marijuana-friendly, as it has begun in Colorado, following in the footsteps of the Netherlands. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Some may think they are going to be safe from all these changes because they are on Medicare, the bad news is that the government is actually paying the bill for Obamacare mostly by taking money from the coffers of Medicare, about 500 billion or a half a trillion dollars, to be precise.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">In other words, Obamacare takes a half trillion dollars out of the pockets of elderly sick people to give health insurance to healthy young people. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In fact, Obamacare actually gives brownie points to hospitals who spend the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">least</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> on senior citizens who, consequently, will have an especially hard time getting the medical services they need most: hip replacements, knee replacements, and cataract surgery will be especially hard to get from Medicare in the months ahead. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Obamacare also asks the most from the healthy young people, who have to pay the highest for a healthcare they will use the least. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The underlying principle behind Obamacare is to spread the healthcare widely and thinly, fording people who need a </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">lot </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">of coverage to go to the end of the line -and wait.

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">And, the inclusion of Code 9 E 978, regulating beheading and decapitation (by guillotine, please) in America, leaves one wondering why is this so close to the borders of sharia law as another betrayal may be happening in front of overwhelmed Americans who find themselves lost in this Affordable Care Act. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">If Mr. Obama and his team wanted to hurt each American, personally, they have used their time, their efforts and their energy to find the perfect way to do it. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Looking at it with a telescope, and following the sequence of such a gigantic operation, one cannot but wonder if the website malfunction is not part of their destruction plan. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">If Mr. Obama chose an incompetent website developer for such an endeavor, he must have hoped it would fail. After all, Obama is in a position to ask the top and the best of the best in any field to work for him. So, the website fiasco is no ‘accident’ but a purposeful move to make sure many more millions Americans are hurting, paying more for their healthcare when they are devoid of one, indebting themselves for life. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Obama’s Affordable Care Act has entered History rather as a social terrorist attack launched against the people who entrusted him with their safety, Obama has made sure to shake their grounds, destabilizing them in what would hurt them most: their health and the health of their loved ones. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The fate of hundreds of millions of Americans was in the hands of Obama and his people to take care of, and in their evil, they have rather stabbed them in the back. </span></span></div>

<b id="docs-internal-guid-3a87c845-a72e-201c-21e2-deff08ce9f03"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Historically speaking, Americans “landed” into democracy without passing through the different stages that other countries had to as part of their growth development. The American Independence was not a war against slavery or against an oppressive feudal system, it was against a foreign king collecting taxes -for no tangible reason- while they were intrinsically free in their own land. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the book </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Liberal Tradition in America</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, Harvard Professor Louis Hartz, renowned American political scientist, emphasizes why the absence of feudalism is a basic determining factor of the liberalism in American politics.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Missing that important stage, Americans have taken for granted freedom and liberalism and never got an idea of what social catastrophe is or how it is an indispensable element leading a society towards social change. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In essence, “if” any when any change has happened in America, so far it has only been a gradual one. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Consequently, the typical American is a gradualist in the sense that they believe there are almost no problems that cannot be overcome by reason and debate. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In political science, the concept of gradualism is used to describe the belief that change ought to be brought about in small, discrete increments rather than in abrupt strokes such as revolutions and uprisings. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">American history has proven, time and again, that in the aftermath of every American war, there has always been a “revisionist” movement trying to identify why that war was totally unnecessary. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">With such a historical path, it is no surprise that American liberalism is an unprincipled one, and is a phenomenon that makes leaders happily dance from one end of the arena to the other, always with a liberal bias in their innermost self. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br class="kix-line-break" />And, as such the RINO phenomenon rises insistently to the surface. Curiously, the tide does not go, and has never gone, in the other direction, which proves the essence of this presentation. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Symptomatically, American social networks are currently plagued with endless comments on the Obama situation, whether it is Obamacare, NSA, IRS, abortion, immigration, defense and his attack on the military, Muslim implants throughout the Administration and the country, the surrender to globalism via the United Nations and their arm, NATO. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">No matter how big the tragedy hitting the lives of some American military, diplomats, or regular citizens, their compatriots do not find it in their heart to show loyalty or solidarity -the numbness of liberalism has made them insensitive to their own people’s pain and suffering. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">American liberals have no allegiance to God, to country or to family. As such they have become an easy prey to globalist movements that precisely go against those values. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When one has never fought for one’s religious beliefs, how can one understand or stand by God? </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Even America’s geographical situation, with the magnitude of a continent, has not had borders issues where Americans could have had the opportunity to defend their soil from neighbors attacking them. There again, no chance to instill in generations the seeds of patriotism, when the largest borders are two huge oceans, Canada being a civilized neighbor at the north and Mexico, at the south, being a blessing and a nuisance at the same time. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Without the belief in God and the patriotic allegiance to one’s country, there are few chances to develop strong family values -which have been under attack for over a century. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The unavoidable result is that such lack of total allegiance to one’s sources is conducive to easily be drawn by the total disregard of the country of origin. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In those lines, it is not surprising that when liberals speak of “human rights,” they refer to human rights of anyone else, but that of their own compatriots. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When they speak of Justice and take all measures for “justice” to be done, disappointingly, it will not be for their own people’s benefit, but for immigrants or peoples in far away lands. Their “justice” for the enemies is nothing but “injustice” for their own, and such examples abound. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">One of the liberals greatest ambitions, is their misplaced and misleading quest for “equality”. It is time to accept our differences, as inequality is our common denominator. Attempting to change what is unchangeable, such as try to turn inequality into equality, is bound to fail. No law can dictate equality. So, it is better we rationally and reasonably, accept inequality and learn to treat it with dignity and respect. What mankind needs is equal opportunity to have accessible education for all, jobs for all. Inequality is not an illness. Treated with solidarity and compassion, but above all with dignity, differences could raise human beings to higher levels.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In their twisted mentalities, liberals choose not to see abortion as an attack against a human life, but just the killing of a cell. Yet, they select to ignore that each of them began with a cell who was lucky enough not to cross the path of any of their intellectual forefathers. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In this kind of pseudo-intello-political environment, globalism found a fertile ground to see its birth and successive evolution. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">And, so, liberals worldwide have united in bringing down barriers of countries with the goal of creating one country in one world -or at least try to, because the Chinese and Russians seem unlikely customers for such a deviant postulate. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">All things considered, there is a group that can very well benefit of these useful idiots. Members of that group are themselves seeking world domination. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Sure enough, the useful idiots are serving their new masters -forgetting that at one point, all the homosexuals and deviances they are legitimizing may end up being at the mercy of ruthless greater masters, i.e., the followers of sharia law. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The liberal masses should do well to read these lines in a discerning manner, as their leaders are slowly betraying the promises that they never intended to keep anyway. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In America and the world all over, liberal masses will soon be in for a rude awakening, when they will see that their “chosen” do not care about their interests. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When there will be no jobs, or lines for food will be so long in times of scarcity, destitute liberals will find they are no longer alone in the competition for survival. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">What’s worse, they will find they may have been accomplices in opening the doors of their countries to masses of mercenary immigrants who will grab the food that should have belonged in their children’s mouths. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Giving billions of dollars for globalist causes is as if though countries are taking the food, jobs, housing, health care from their own needy populations and giving it, purposefully, to others, especially your own enemies. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Back in May 2013, Senator Rand Paul, who happens to be a medical doctor as well, reported in an almost unremarked speech, some of the details of the “care” in Obama’s health plan for America. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br class="kix-line-break" /></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2331716/Rand-Paul-Obamacare-include-medical-diagnostic-codes-injuries-sustained-turtle-walking-lamppost-injuries-sustained-burning-water-skis.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Paul said physicians typically have to choose from about 18,000 medical </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">diagnostic codes, so that health insurers know why a patient was treated. But Obamacare, he told his audience, will include a mandate for 140,000 of those codes, some of which he said were ridiculous.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'Included among these codes,' he told the Iowa Republicans during a May 10 dinner event, 'will be 312 new codes for injuries from animals; 72 new codes for injuries just from birds; 9 new codes for "injuries from the macaw."'</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'The macaw?' Paul asked. 'I've asked physicians all over the country, "Have you ever seen an injury from a macaw?"'</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">All things considered, it is not hard to imagine the amount of effort in thinking, planning and formulating Obama’s people must have gone through to add those 140,000 codes in Obamacare. Its implementation in everyday lives and consultations will no doubt heavily complicate things in doctor-patient relationships.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br class="kix-line-break" />Nonetheless, these “Obamacare codes” are not an Obama creation, as they are found in the WHO (World Health Organization,) a specialized agency of the United Nations. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">However, the first International Classification of Diseases or ICD, goes back to 1893. That’s approximately around the dates when Leftist funders reunited theoreticians to figure how to best overtake the West. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In 1948, WHO took control of clinical modifications. In 1955, the WHO modified the ICD to track mortality rates. Then, in 1977 the 9th revision was published under the code name of “ICD 9 Medical Codes” which are being used today within our medical system. In 1988, the American Congress passed “Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act” requiring the use of ICD 9 codes on </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">all</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> claims. In 1996 mandated codes were to be of the highest possible specificity.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But, that’s far from all. Come </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">October 1, 2014 the ICD 9 coding will no longer be used, as it will be replaced by the ICD 10 which will be the new “mandated” medical coding adding an extra 68,105 codes. And that’s not all. The ICD-10-PCS (Procedure Code System) has an additional 86,000 codes totaling approximately 155,000 new medical codes for medical professionals. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That said, the World Health Organization (WHO) supports the </span><a href="http://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/Agenda21.pdf" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">United Nations Agenda 21</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> through the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development agendas. As a senator, Obama tried hard to increase U.S. political attention towards Millennium Development Goals. A bill he presented then did not pass. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Silently and for many years, American governments have adhered to, and paid huge amounts of taxpayer money to, the United Nations. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Meanwhile, unknowingly, Americans have been subject to the ICD Medical code for many years. Their privacy has been betrayed as, unwarned, they have had their information shared through coding, with the globalist UN-WHO, without their specific authorization. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">With no precise definition, the code ICD 9 E 978 is presented as “All injuries,” and references it at the bottom of the list as: “Other specifiable cause of injury.”</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, at this point, the fact that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obamacare</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> introduces in all legality </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Code 9 E 978 </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">for Legal Execution that includes execution for (unspecified) beheading, (and specified) decapitation [by guillotine,] demands special attention. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The globalism fiercely advocated by the United Nations and its organizations, in this case, the World Health Organization (WHO) and Agenda 21, are too close for comfort to another globalist agenda, the one advocated by Islam and an influential part of their followers: Muslim world domination. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It is equally known the profound affection of the current American President, Barack Hussein Obama, towards Islam, his father’s religion, therefore his as well. Mr. Obama has ostensibly demonstrated his relentless allegiance to the cause of implanting Islamic domination in the United States. He has quietly and astutely implemented ways to position in key posts, Islamists elements that have gotten clearance to the most key spots within America’s government. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Given the calm and tacit acceptance of his abusive policies by the American people, the President is pushing his case with increasing insistence and boldness. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">How else to explain the introduction of (unspecified) beheading, (and specified) decapitation [by guillotine,] in the statutes of Obamacare and therefore within the political life in America?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">When Senator Dr. Rand Paul was criticizing Obamacare’s minutiae, why did he not mention Code 9 E 978 regarding Legal Execution?</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Since no one is ostensibly complaining, Mr. Obama can rightfully assume that Americans will not mind, or that they have not realized what has been done. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But, in reality, with beheading and decapitation now part of American legalese, sharia has been all but de facto adopted in America. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Very little of the initial Obama domestic agenda has been achieved. Polls have been decreasingly gentle, actually showing ratings that are near historic lows, mirroring the Obama regime’s incompetence and their seemingly unwillingness to make succeed even their own projects. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The problem goes beyond his legislative agenda. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Americans in general, are disillusioned, and appear to have lost confidence and trust in their President. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As it is already a tradition, some numbers were published in a timely basis, the morning of his address to conveniently give him needed ammunition: “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This morning we learned that over the summer our economy grew at its strongest pace in nearly two years. [And that] The unemployment rate has steadily fallen to its lowest point in five years.” Right. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">He clearly failed Americans when he told them, if you like your [health care] plan; you can keep it. He was lying. Six months ago, he looked the American people in the eye and said, we've got the right balance. Now, six months later, he and his team are saying, maybe not.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to him: “More Americans are finding work and experiencing the pride of a paycheck.” Right. And, he continued: “Our businesses are positioned for new growth and new jobs. And I firmly believe that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2014 can be a breakthrough year for America.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">” </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">About immigration, Obama set the tone in clear terms: “We still have the task of finishing the fix on our broken immigration system... </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And that's going to be where I focus all of my efforts in the year ahead.” </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Not a full week has gone by since 6 NATO-U.S. “service members,” most likely marines, were killed in their helicopter in Afghanistan, where President Karzai has been blaming Americands of alleged misdeeds. “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">O</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ne person on board the Black Hawk UH-60 was injured and survived, two U.S. defense </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the record</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Why does this sound familiar? Simply because the Obama Administration made the Benghazi witnesses sign a sworn affidavit silencing them, probably for life -and no one sneezed, not Congress and not the American people. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Meanwhile, Obama’s stooge, Senator Schumer has said that “It’s time for veterans to do their part for America: Take a cut to their retirement benefits.” Few know that on a daily basis, 22 veterans commit suicide -and that such number does not include Afghanistan or Iraq Veterans.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">As the treacherous weakling leftists observe the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, stand tall in his fight for his country’s existence, they know he is the new de facto real leader of the world. They have also understood there is only one thing for them to do: character assassination. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">At the beginning of this month, a brand new biography, “Putin”, has been published with the purpose of presenting new hypothesis surrounding the Russian President, portraying him as a 'traumatized' man and speculating that “he might be homosexual.” </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The author, Moscow “political scientist” Stanislav Belkovsky', claim the rumoured affair between the president and an Olympic gymnast was an invention by the presidential PR team and that he might be 'latently gay.'</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Belkovsky, who looks more like</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> a former Russian mafia boss from one of the James Bond films, is the man who has unambiguously declared that, “The [Russian] system must be destroyed, not reformed [and that] an entirely new one must be created.” </span></span></div>

However, the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Golos </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Association reported that only 15% of votes were falsified,” </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Belkovsky dismisses it by arguing that “In their calculations, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Golos</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> experts did not make adjustments for the immense coercion and pressure employed by the government.” However, he advanced no numbers to sustain his accusations.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">He calls Putin a ‘deeply lonely politician’ who prefers animals to people, and adds that the macho photos of him with topless tigers and bears are not staged. ’Therein lies the real Putin,’ argues Belkovsky. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Obviously, Mr. Belkovsky did not get the message that many around the world now prefer the company of loving animal companions to that of twisted human beings one cannot trust. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As a matter of fact, after living under a tight regime in the Soviet Union, democracy has proven to be a challenge to former Soviet countries like Armenia, Belarus, Russia, where people think that the severance brought them more harm than benefits. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And, although peoples in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, said benefits outweighed the harm, Georgians were almost evenly divided.</span></span></div>

They must have been “suggested” about what they considered the main problem to have caused the tragedy -and as in his commemorative address, he has purposefully omitted to speak of the attacker, of his Aspergers syndrome that had obviously deteriorated and that the mother had allowed her son to go without speaking to her during the last three months before the tragedy. </b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being the President of one of the largest countries on earth and former superpower gives the spotlight at all times and, yesterday, at the Mandela funeral, the world got an eyeful of the current occupant of the White House enjoying flirting with the female Danish Prime Minister. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A History Channel report, that did not include George W. Bush, showed President Ronald Reagan as the only American President who hadn't cheated on his wife. And it seems that either before, during or after their presidencies, they all have had affairs.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">True, politics is a field that whoever is in it, has an inherent and unwavering highest level of passion that is shown and felt at every step. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Indeed, President </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">George Washington led the way in this respect. He wrote his wife Martha such passionate love letters throughout their marriage, that after his death, although she burned all his letters out of grief, two were found later lost in an old desk. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">This is what Washington wrote to his wife from the battlefield after their wedding:</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 9pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fort Cumberland, July 20, 1758, We have begun our march to the Ohio. A courier is starting for Williamsburg, and I embrace the opportunity to send a few words to one whose life is now inseparable from mine. Since that happy hour when we made our pledges to each other, my thoughts have been continually going to you as to another Self.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Gerald Ford and his wife Betty were married for 58 years, until his passing. They endured the hardships of her mental breakdown in 1965, her radical mastectomy shortly after entering the White House, and her substance abuse issues that inspired her to found the Betty Ford Center for Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">David Kennerly, official White House photographer was quoted as saying, "They were a playful couple. They joked around with each other. His idea at the end of the day was to sit around with her, have dinner with her, just be with her."</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Another presidential loving marriage was that of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. They met while both were Hollywood actors. Reportedly, the proposal happened at the legendary Hollywood restaurant Chasen's, where actor Ronald Reagan simply said, "Let's get married," and Nancy replied, "Let's." </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The couple were married in 1952 and remained wed until Ronald passed away in 2004. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The Reagans stories of their love are tender and caring, shown in love notes they left one another. He wrote her a sweet note on the occasion of Nancy taking riding lessons, or to get over her fear of horses. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Their marriage survived breast and colon cancer and an assassination attempt on the President's life. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">A press secretary once said, "They never took each other for granted. The Reagans never stopped courting."</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have crossed the hallways of the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, where is said that President John F. Kennedy used to have his security whisk in his room, the world’s most famous bimbo, </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4SLSlSmW74&list=PL66wFcEzPg0SiRZrOCCh7cW8Ubi8yAML9&index=9" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Marilyn Monroe</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">And, unavoidably, one must mention the gross Clinton affair and his intern fling, disrespecting his wife and also the decorum of office and space he was entrusted with as venue to hold state affairs. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">So, it is no surprise to see Mr. Obama flirting away with Danish Prime Minister, Mrs. Thorning-Schmidt, while Mrs. Obama did not appear enthused over it. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Mrs. Thorning-Schmidt is married to Stephen Kinnock, the son of former Labour leader Neil Kinnock.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Body language clearly said much of the interaction between the Obamas and Mrs. Thorning-Schmidt, which happened under the watchful eye of three of the President's closest aides - Susan Rice, the White House National Security advisor; Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor; and Eric Holder; the US attorney general - who were sat behind.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Even under a collapsing economy with over 100 million unemployed, jobless; 49 million Americans on food stamps, and over 17 TRN dollars debt, the American President can jet set on Air Force 1. At a $182,000 per flight hour all paid for, with Americans taxpayer money, it allows Mr. Obama to take along his wife, family and his loyalists, in the luxury of luxuries while they aim at extirpating the roots of America on the go.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The Reagans is a love story that’s an inspiration for couples in search for eternal, ever-lasting love. One needs not to have sex until 98-years old and even at that tender age, a couple can make each other perfectly happy, in every possible way. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Nancy and Ronald always walked hand in hand. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Theirs was also a love story with America. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: large;">By Eliana Benador</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">It’s easy when others do the hard job. At the most, it is their families who feel it. And, what about the rest of the population? Is oblivion acceptable? Go tell that to those families. Again, after all, the sacrifice is not only done by those who are at the fronts, risking their lives, but it is also shouldered by parents, husbands, wives, babies, little children, teenagers, who are left behind.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">True, some may argue that “it is their job, what they are paid for.” The counter-argument to which is that “they could have chosen any other job.” </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Be it as it may, yet another American marine is facing military discharge for “mistakenly sending a threat warning to colleagues from his personal email account, unclassified.” Veiled behind that assessment, lies the main reason why Maj. Jason Brezler, a Marine Corps reservist and New York City firefighter had committed that involuntary infraction. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Maj. Brezler had tried to warn his fellow marines of an insider threat in August 2012, about an Afghan police chief, Sarwar Jan -- known to be linked to the Taliban, and also a child predator. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But, surprise, Brezler's warning went ignored, and, seventeen days later, three Marines were killed by one of the Afghan police chief's alleged child victims. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Now facing a board of inquiry -- the equivalent of an administrative hearing in the military -- for warning his fellow Marines, the highly decorated Major Brezler though, now stands accused of passing classified information -inadvertently- through unclassified channels because he allegedly used his personal yahoo email account to pass on the warning. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">However, prior to the military hearing that began Tuesday, the marine has started to receive strong support from several members of Congress speaking up in his defense. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">"It really does seem to be a witch hunt," said Kevin Carroll, an attorney working on Brezler's case. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Six members of Congress who also served in the Marine Corps wrote to Navy Secretary Ray Mabus on Dec. 13 asking a string of questions about why Brezler was facing potential punishment, and expressing "concern" about the board of inquiry. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">"Brezler did not know the information was classified at the time he sent the email," the lawmakers wrote, adding that the military determined at the time "no harm to national security" had been done. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But, that’s not the point. Brezler tried to save the marines, he knew something was going to happen and tried to warn them -</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">but his warning was ignored and 17 days later, three marines were murdered </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">The marine who was the recipient of Brezler's information about the Afghan police chief is the son-in-law of a former top-ranking officer in the Marines. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Last summer, Brezler received an urgent request for information from his fellow Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. They wanted background information about the senior Afghan police official, Sarwar Jan, who was routinely allowed on base as part of the U.S. strategy to train local security forces before the 2014 withdrawal. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Brezler immediately responded with information about Jan's derogatory background, including the allegations of sexual abuse. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">No evidence of immediate action was taken by the recipient of Maj. Brezler’s email, and seventeen days later, one of Jan's assistants opened fire on the Marines. </span><a href="http://video.foxnews.com/v/2944195143001/murdered-marines-family-attends-hearing-to-support-brezler/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The victims included Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin J. Griffin, the most senior enlisted soldier for the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. Griffin, 45, of Riverton, Wyo., was a Bronze Star recipient who first enlisted in the Army in 1988.</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599; font-size: x-large;">Asked for comment, a spokesman at the Marine Corps Reserve headquarters in New Orleans where the hearing was taking place told Fox News he couldn't comment on specific allegations -- but added that a military investigation found Brezler mishandled classified information when he sent the warning on his personal email account. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One way to view a country, is to consider it a big, huge family. But, what to do when your country and even your own family are losing their intrinsic values, endangering their survival, threatening their well-being, and even jeopardizing their basic existence? </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">America’s subjugation to England and then to the British Empire, began in Jameston, Virginia, in 1607, when England ruled the American colonies until 1707 when England and Scotland became the United Kingdom of Great Britain -which in turn took them over since 1707 until the Treaty of Paris in 1783. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Subversive Americans chose to get their independence, regardless of any outside “treaty” and on the 4 of July 1776, they declared America a country per se, thus, cutting ties to the kingdom forever. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ever since then, success used to be the key word in the existence of America, the thriving, exciting and vivacious country that came to be after fighting their way to independence, not by agreement from any one but by their own rebellious and independent spirit. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Countries, just as individual peoples, have personalities. What kind of personality has America? </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">British Prime Minister Winston Churchill whose mother, Lady Churchill, was born in Brooklyn, said: “</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else." </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And why is America so important? For one, the main world currency is the dollar. One marvels at this fact because despite European countries and economies having existed for millennia before America existed, were basically taken over by the ‘baby’ country who now, in 2013, at its toddler stage, is going through the typical temper tantrum. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When asked, bankers worldwide say they see America crumbling in not too long a time, and their prognostics are that, at this pace, the dollar may be brought down, by same Americans, in less than twenty years. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">That is to say, that the job initiated by liberals over hundred years ago, and which climaxed when terrorists attacked America on 9/11, as being brought to culmination by a popularly elected anti-American President with his anti-American entourage -sadly, under the watchful eye of a lethargic American public. </span></div>
</b><b style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mr. Obama’s endless scandals keep growing. Whether it is with the IRA, the FBI, NSA, his incompetence is so crushing that when it comes to solve national human tragedies he is unable to hide his evil will. Testimony of that premise are the unresolved and, therefore, unavenged cases of the massacres of 24 Seal Team Six members or those of the American Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi and three former Seals in charge of his security, despite Stevens desperate pleas for help, 13 times. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">President Andrew Johnson was impeached by the House of Representatives for violating the Terms of Office Act during the 1860s. For his part, President Bill Clinton was also impeached by the House of Representatives for lying in regards to the Monica Lewinsky scandal.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In hindsight, however, those cases appear so mild compared to the present one.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, neither Johnson nor Clinton were removed from office as there was no Senate majority necessary to boot either of them out.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As for President, Nixon, he would have been impeached and probably even removed from office, but he simply resigned before tempting his luck.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is questionable if the current Congress would impeach Obama, but it is sure the democratic majority in the Senate would fail to finish the job.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is not easy to remove a President by popular demand. But, Americans can look for inspiration at the Egyptian case, in the case of the second Tahrir Revolution. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is so much attention span an individual can use in his daily life. Yet, nowadays, a regular American citizen, is probably suffering of an acute multi-attention deficit disorder, given the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">plethora of scandals that at the same time are surrounding this President. </span></span></div>

Other scandals such as Justice, FBI, Energy debacles; and massacres of the 23 Seal Team Six, the Benghazi tragedy, remain unavenged murders, are testimony of the nasty habit of this Administration to get away with murder. </span></span></div>

A person from a Muslim country could become a U.S. citizen in as little as ten weeks, with no I.D. and no declaration of allegiance to the U.S. Constitution: </span></span></div>

There is NO requirement that they be in the United States legally. No background check! A Muslim Pushti speaker could sneak across the Rio Grande today and be getting 3 hots and a cot (meals and a place to sleep) in the U.S. Military tomorrow! Even worse, he would be on a path to get citizenship in less time than any other naturalized citizen in history! Special “citizenship expediters” at military bases across the country rush their citizenship papers through in as little as 10 weeks.</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #0c343d; color: #ffe599;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 36pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">

For example, Muslim physicians [remember terrorist murderer Major Nidal Malik Hasan or MD Rabbi Alam] are especially recruited for this new “10-weeks to Citizenship” program....</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">The Obama administration claims we need these people’s special skills, but the less than 100 day rush to citizenship has some outraged. The ten weeks is supposedly used to process their paperwork and ensure they have no ties to radical Islam. There is no possible way these checks could be done in 10 weeks. These are people who have arrived in the U.S. illegally, with no ID, and no proof of anything they say.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #0c343d; font-family: Arial; font-size: 24px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #ffe599;">The military has been a path to citizenship before. After WWII, German soldiers were quietly allowed to enter the U.S Army. After 5 years, they got their U.S. citizenship. In the 1960s, there was more German spoken after hours in a 10th Special Forces barracks than English. The program worked, because the former Wermacht soldiers were screened and had to prove themselves over 5 years. Even so, two were weeded out and jailed as Stassi sleepers.</span></span></div>

Naturally, their presence would imply an intrinsic establishment of sharia law as the law of the American nation. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As such, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, as well as new dating apps like Tinder, Grindr, and Blendr have increasingly become key elements in social interactions, both online and in real life (IRL).</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Distressingly, the internet is not only providing easy access to ‘viewing’ sex, but the goal of smartphone apps, is to make it easy to have sex, as it facilitates finding sex partners, for casual encounters.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In the words of a New York teenage boy, “Nowadays you can do it so easy. There are so many apps and bleep that just, like, hand you the girls. They don’t even know that’s what they’re doing, but really they’re just giving teenagers ways to have sex.”</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Meanwhile, a teenage girl’s comment shows her disarray: “Social media is destroying our lives.” Asked why doesn’t she gets off it, the answer pierces the atmosphere: “Because then we would have no life.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Exposed to such individuals as Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian as role models, girls are “inspired” to emulate them. Thus, social media is contributing to make things worse for American teenagers. More signs of depression, anxiety, feelings of isolation, bullying, are causing substance addiction, alcohol abuse and even deaths.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According to a </span><a href="http://online.liebertpub.com/toc/cpb/11/1" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2008 study in Cyber Psychology and Behavior</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, 93 percent of boys and 62 percent of girls have seen Internet porn before they turn 18. It is known how images of porn can damage a child's mind and make it normal to have sex with random strangers.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The sex app market is booming among American inventions, and it is no surprise to find that</span><a href="http://www.gotinder.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The latest American import, Tinder,</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and others are going global and are also transforming the British dating scene.</span><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/katyballs/100070264/forget-porn-the-internet-is-making-it-easier-for-teenagers-to-have-real-life-casual-sex/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Telegraph’s Katy Balls suggested Tinder was actually making it easy, </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">mostly for teenagers,</span><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/katyballs/100070264/forget-porn-the-internet-is-making-it-easier-for-teenagers-to-have-real-life-casual-sex/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to have sex with strangers</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Such abundance may be the symptom of a coordinated effort to silently undermine the minds and safety of future generations by the eternal enemy, the Left. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">In its origins, the advocacy of women’s rights reflected a power struggle where feminists distanced themselves from traditional women roles, to come closer to that of men. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As women masculinized themselves, feminists ultimate power quest, has been in the realm of sex, where men play a key role of physically being able to decide with whom, what, how, where and when. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Thus communist women in their longing to be “equal” to men, took “control of their bodies” -and they began deciding with whom, what, how, where and when. They managed to turn sex into their symbol of power and control.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As far as teenagers are concerned, after high school, their media-enhanced sexual behavior will go on in college campuses. Young and ambitious women will mostly choose not be tied down by a steady relationship and they continue hooking up randomly even though far from satisfying, especially for women. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">An increasing number of women, not men, are complaining of lack of orgasm in casual hookup situations. No wonder. The likely reason for it being that no matter how ‘liberated’ women may think they are, their nature demand the key missing element: Romance. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The Left continue to be highly organized and devoted to the cause. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">For over a century they had a plan to destroy Western Capitalism via the destruction of the family and undermining the role of the mother. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">With perseverance, they are still sticking to it. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It is not far-fetched to venture that it may be the Left who are behind the abundance of sex apps in another push to change the behavioral pattern of Western societies.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The real problem, however, is the lack of a similar militancy in the conservative ranks to defend conservative values, not only in America, but also worldwide. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">It is because of such weakness, that, with impunity, the Left can infiltrate Western societies and implant their lethal cells which will slowly develop and blossom, quietly targeting the integrity of upcoming Western generations who, along the road, will have lost their self-respect and the dignity pertaining to human beings. . </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The perennial attack on innocence continues and will not stop in front of anything. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">By Eliana Benador </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner has signed with the New York-based private equity investment firm Warburg Pincus to become their president and managing director. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">This news indirectly sheds light on the true colors of President Obama and his entourage. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Twenty-five years after he began his career in public service, Geithner made the move following in the footsteps of many his high-ranking predecessors and others. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Among them, former President George H.W. Bush as well as former British PM John Major at one point became advisers of the Carlyle Group LP (CG). </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Former Treasury Secretary, Robert Rubin, had a ten-year tenure as director and chair of Citigroup’s executive committee. He oversaw the bank through many of its major crises -and, yet, regardless of his political stature, he was unable to steer Citigroup clear of the danger zone. Some even consider he ended his career in disgrace. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Others, such as Vice-President Dan Quayle, NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Wesley Clark, and most recently, ex-CIA Director, General David Petraeus, have also been recruited by other firms to share their experience, their worldwide contacts and influence. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">As of March 1st, 2014, Geithner will help manage Warburg Pincus and their $35 billion of assets under management and investments. He will be instrumental for their client communications and will collaborate with the two co-chief executive officers, Chip Kaye and Joe Landy, who have been leading the firm since 2000. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Geithner has made a safe move, instead of going to an investment bank, too big to fail. A plus for him, in this case, is that he's unlikely to be dealing with regulatory matters, keeping a safe distance away from any ‘conflict of interest.’ His fundraising capabilities are going to be equally an asset. Likewise, his worldwide power network are now potential and likely clients of Warburg Pincus Private Equity funds. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Avoiding being controversial and taking advantage of his skills, is a secure image protection for Geithner and the firm he is joining. Meanwhile he is working on a book to be published next year by Random House Inc.’s Crown Publishing Group, about the U.S. response to the global financial crisis.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">However, Geithner will be remembered for saying: "Never in our history has Congress failed to increase the debt limit when necessary. Failure to raise the limit would precipitate a default by the United States." Such increases in the debt limit have unavoidably contributed to the increase in the government overall debt. In September 2001, the ceiling was $5.73 trillion. Now, 2013, it is over 17 trillion. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">The financial deterioration of America has been the result of a bipartisan job but it also shows with real transparency the incongruent attitude of Obama and his Administration and their seemingly socialist leaning policies since his access to power in 2009. </span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">History is witnessing the unconscionable destruction of America’s free enterprise, curtailing the ambitions of everyday Americans, luring them instead towards the soothing, soporific bliss of the nanny-beggar state mentality.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Under their watch, 47 million Americans are on food stamps. And, as of this month, millions of needy American families will lose a portion of their federal food stamp benefits. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For instance, in Massachusetts, officials, community food banks, and advocates for the poor are bracing for the </span><a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/2013/11/18/food-stamp-cuts-taking-hold-for-massachusetts-families-stimulus-boost-expires/DnihWtGPUqTD22WlfkPwrN/story.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">full impact of a $95 million cut in nutrition assistance</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> for the state over the next 11 months. The cuts are part of a $5 billion nationwide reduction prompted by the expiration of a boost that was included in President Obama’s 2009 stimulus package.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">“Obviously, in terms of stimulus, it was meant to be a stimulus,” said Senator Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican and member of the Budget Committee. “So, I don’t think that anyone when they voted for it thought that we would have to sustain that level going forward.” That does not make the cuts any less difficult for the needy.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">All of which is taking place while Obama and his people, including Geithner, are achieving their own personal ambitions and are frantically at work to socialize America. At the same time, they are advancing their personal, jet-set and billionaire ambitions thanks to benefits they enjoy while destroying America and pushing Americans over the cliff. </span></span></div>

His name only brings Gush Katif to my mind. </span><br style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The author of the expulsion of Jews. He ordered the young Jewish soldiers of the IDF to evict Jewish families from their homes, babies were crying in the middle of the night. </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Soldiers cried as they had to do that.<br />Obviously their mothers did not prepare them. They did not do what I did.<br />I said: As your mother, I am highest ranking than any General in the army. So, listen to me: You are FORBIDDEN to evict any Jew or to touch any Jew. Rather jail than do that. And, if that, G d forbid should happen, I will take care of freeing you.<br />Thank G d, it did not come to that.<br />A Jew does not turn his/her back on another Jew.<br />And, as for the world, we are here to bring Light and to help make it a better world.<br />So, for me, no matter how others may think he was a great war hero, but for me, Ariel Sharon means the pain of Gush Katif... Many of the Jews he evicted are until now with no homes.<br />Justice is in Gd's Hands. I only remember FACTS.<br />And, it is important to remember that so that Netanyahu and others not be tempted to continue that line, because when leaders free terrorists who murdered and butchered innocent Jews in the Land of Israel, then they will have no qualms evicting more Jews, in the heartless way that Sharon did in Gush Katif.<br />Please, do not come attacking me for my position. I am not forcing anyone to think like me. This is MY page, so I write my opinions.<br />And, this time, as I post this and the photos witnessing this horror, my tears are rolling down, because it simply breaks my heart.<br />Let G d's Justice be done.</span></b></span><br />
