Carter shows his ethics: hires lawyer from Obama firm, as clerk Oct. 1st
thepostnemail ^ | 10/17/09 | John Charlton

Posted on 10/18/2009 6:07:15 PM PDT by blueyon

In a stunning blow to the impartiality of the American Judicial system, Federal Judge David O. Carter, who is hearing the case Barnett vs. Obama, in the Central District, Southern Division Court at Santa Ana, California, has just hired a lawyer who works for a law firm where Robert F. Bauer, one of Obama’s top lawyers is a partner. And that, just days before the Oct. 5, 2009 hearing on the Motion to Dismiss, in which his demeanor radically changed, according to Dr. Orly Taitz, esq., lead counsel for the Plaintiffs.

Siddharth Velamoor is the lawyer chosen by Carter to serve as one of his two official clerks, from Oct. 1, 2009, till Sept. 30, 2010, according to Wikipedia. Velamoor is listed as an associate with Perkins Coie, LLP’s office in Seattle, Washington. It is not clear if he has broken his relations with the firm.

C, is a partner of Perkins Coie, LLP’s office in Washington, D.C.. His bio at the company identifies him as holding the Chair of the Political Law group at the firm; general counsel to Obama’s Campaign for America and general counsel to the Democratic National Committee.

Mr. Bauer’s wife is none other than Anita Dunn, the Whitehouse Communication’s Director.

Do not think this can be the SAME Foundation for the Future — this article says organized in 2006

Earlier this year, Republicans were in the conversation stage while Democrats were hitting their stride. This spring a group of former high-level operatives from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee formed the National Democratic Redistricting Trust to lead the legal leg of the party’s redistricting tripod.

The group’s trustees include former DCCC executive directors Brian Wolff and John Lapp and former DCCC Political Director Peter Cari. Prominent Democratic attorney Bob Bauer, who is married to White House Communications Director Anita Dunn, is the chief counsel for the group.

During the last round of redistricting, many Democrats felt like they couldn’t match the Republicans’ legal resources, so the redistricting trust is the Democratic effort to bolster that component of the party’s strategy.

Democrats believe that a trust — and not a 527 or 501(c)(4) — is the most flexible structure for this particular purpose, since other traditional tax-exempt structures aren’t appropriate and the group does not support specific candidates.

“We’re putting together a national legal advisory board along with state-by-state legal teams in cooperation with Congressional delegations and state delegations,” said Brian Smoot, the trust’s executive director and a former DCCC political director. “And we will be undertaking legal research and drafting strategic memos for each state.”

Foundation for the Future, a 527 organized in July 2006, will continue to lead the analytical component of redistricting for the Democrats. The coalition, which includes the Association of Federal, State, County and Municipal Employees, the National Committee for an Effective Congress and other Democratic groups, seeks to provide Democratic caucuses in each state with data, mapmaking software and demographic projections.

The Democratic National Committee convenes regular meetings with the key players in the party to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Democrats have left the analytical work to Foundation for the Future and the legal work to the redistricting trust. MAPS is seeking to fill both roles on the Republican side and provide a new home for the stable of Republican operatives who traditionally work on redistricting through the RNC.

Other curiosities on Mercer Island – Velamoor not being a common name: A TRISHNA Velamoor also went to MIHS (younger sister?). And a SESH Velamoor (father?) hails from Hyderabad, India, lives on Mercer Island and works at Foundation for the Future as Trustee & Director of Programs.

LOL; I missed you. :-)

This Sesh Velamoor doesn't ever discuss where his degrees are from; I found this from 1967 at University of Minnesota:

UN1VERSITY OF MINNESOTA
NEWS SERVICE-220 MORRILL HALL
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55455
TELEPHONE: 373-2126
MARCH 27, 1967

An entirely new format will be employed this year when the foreign students at the University of Minnesota present their ninth annual International Spring Festival Friday. Saturday and Sunday, April 7. 8 and 9, at the University, according to Seshadri Velamoor, an Indian graduate student in industrial engineering who is this year's festival chairman.

~~~~~~

He and FFF hold seminars for UNESCO. He is a globalist. He is also a "facilitator" for UNESCO conferences.

Also this (the brief on this symposium is a 500-pg pdf file):

Humanity 3000

The fundamental objective of the Foundation For the Future’s Humanity 3000 program is to bring together prominent thinkers from around the world in a multidisciplinary framework to ponder issues that are most likely to have a significant impact on the long-term future of humanity.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Humanity 3000 is one of the major program components of Foundation For the Future, based in Bellevue, Washington. This international seminar and symposium series was created in 1998 and formally launched in 1999 with two seminars that were precursors of the first major Symposium, held in 2000.

Those two seminars and the Symposium composed the first cycle of Humanity 3000 events. The second-year cycle was launched with Seminar No. 3. The purposes of Humanity 3000 are: to use a multi- disciplinary approach to assess the current status of humanity, to identify the most significant factors that may affect the quality of life of the people of the Earth now and into the thousand-year future, to map the territory (past and present) of these factors and suggest trajectories, and to outline the problems and opportunities related to these factors for the long-term future.

In addition, the program holds workshops to provide a base of knowledge on individual factors identified as important to humanity’s future.

ORGANIZING COMMITTEE In the spring of 1998, the Foundation selected an Organizing Committee for Humanity 3000, composed of scientists, scholars, educators, and futurists from North America, Europe, and Australia. This committee provided guidance to the Foundation in the areas of program design, participant selection, and venue.

Sesh Velamoor, Director of Programs, integrated the work of the Organizing Committee into the final seminar and symposium format.

Members of the Organizing Committee included: Clement Bezold, Institute for Alternative Futures; Joseph Coates, Consulting Futurist, Inc.; Brian Fagan, University of California, Santa Barbara; Barbara Marx Hubbard, Foundation for Conscious Evolution; Sohail Inayatullah, International Management Centres; Charles Johnston, Institute for Creative Development; Graham Molitor, Public Policy Forecasting, Inc.; Siro Polo Padolecchia, European Institute for Futures Studies; and Allen Tough, University of Toronto.

I pulled up one of the names on that list at random, BARBARA MARX HUBBARD:

wiki link

New Age author, Barbara Marx Hubbard, as she put a fitting conclusion on "The State of the World Forum." In her book, THE BOOK OF CO-CREATION, she writes: "Out of the full spectrum of the human personality, one-fourth is elected to transcend and one-fourth are destructive, defective seeds. In the past they were permitted to die a natural death. Now, as we approach the quantum shift from the creature-human to the co-creative human - the human who is an inheritor of god-like powers - the destructive one-fourth must be eliminated from the social body. Fortunately, you are not responsible for this act. We are. We are in charge of God's selection process for planet Earth. He selects - we destroy. We are the riders of the pale horse, Death."

While she frequently mentions technology as a major component of how humanity will "co-create" its future, she is clear that Conscious Evolution is "at the core a spiritually-motivated endeavor." Her broad and unattributed claims about the potential for technologies such as scalable quantum computing, clinical immortality, unlimited zero point energy, and an integrated space/Earth environment do not enjoy widespread scientific consensus.

The importance of population control is also a recurrent theme in Hubbard's work. In The Revelation: A Message of Hope for the New Millennium she writes:

[In 1966] I saw, perhaps most fundamentally of all, that the vast effort of humanity to "be fruitful and multiply" would have to be curtailed in our generation. One more doubling of the world population will destroy our life support system. Our Mother will not support us if we continue to grow in numbers! We must stop.

Her name was very familiar to me. Had to look up to remember why.
She will be in the top tier of the religious order if the Globalists get their way

Barbara Marx Hubbard’s Christ-Consciousness

“Christ-consciousness and Christ-abilities are the natural inheritance of every human being on Earth. When the word of this hope has reached the nations, the end of this phase of evolution shall come. All will know their choice. All will be required to choose..... All who choose not to evolve will die off; their souls will begin again within a different planetary system which will serve as kindergarten for the transition from self-centered to whole-centered being.

The kindergarten class of Earth will be over. Humankind’s collective power is too great to be inherited by self-centered, infantile people.” (from The Plan, quoting Barbara Marx Hubbard Happy Birthday Planet Earth.p.17)

http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/marxhubbard.htm
~~~~~~~~~

(btw, she is also on the Board of FFF).

Dr. Barbara Marx Hubbard “President of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, received her Bachelor Degree from Bryn Mawr College cum laude in Political Science. She took her junior year abroad at the Sorbonne and the Ecole des Sciences Politiques in Paris. She was given a first ever Doctorate in Conscious Evolution by Emerson Theological Institute.

“Barbara has helped create the field of conscious evolution. She wrote a first evolutionary networking “Center Letter” in 1967-69 to over 1000 people, working with Dr. Jonas Salk, Abraham Maslow, Lancelot Law Whyte and others to ask the question: “What is the next step for the future good?”

She founded The Committee for the Future in 1970 in Washington DC., where she co-produced 25 SYNCON conferences for SYNergistic CONvergence. These advanced, multi media, multi-disciplinary events brought diverse people from every field and function together in a wheel shaped environment to seek common goals and match needs with resources in the light of the growing potential of the whole system.

“In 1984 her name was placed in nomination for the Vice Presidency of the United States (along with Geraldine Ferraro) on the Democratic ticket, proposing an Office for the Future and a “Peace Room” in the White House to scan for, map, connect, and communicate what is working in the United States and the world. She has developed a plan for the Transformation of the American Presidency that came out of this experience.

“She was a citizen diplomat in the former Soviet Union during the 80’s and pioneered a Soviet- American Citizen Summit based on the SYNCON model.

“Barbara co-founded several major organizations including the World Future Society and the Global Association for New Thought. She appears on many television and radio interviews and speaks internationally before audiences as wide ranging as NASA to the Inner city of Los Angeles.

“Barbara co-developed with Teresa Collins “Gateway to Conscious Evolution,” a first guided educational program using Internet that covers the whole developmental path toward the next stage of human evolution now reaching over a 1000 people globally.

...During the Armageddon-obsessed 1980s (signified by Reagan’s ‘Strategic Defence Initiative’), Hubbard developed and co-chaired US-Soviet citizen summits. She hosted ‘Potentials: Envisioning The New Millennium’, a stunning television series which featured Gene Roddenberry, Timothy Leary, Buckminster Fuller, Toni and John Lilly, Jerry Pournelle, and Ray Bradbury as guests. Space migration, life extension, and macropolitical models are just some of the memes that Hubbard has promoted over more than thirty years of advocacy.

In ‘Happy Birthday Planet Earth: The Instant Of Co-Operation’ (Ocean Tree Books, 1986), Hubbard examined Spaceship Earth as a vast holistic system, exalting our power as co-creators over acquiescence (the ‘Age of Aquarius’ impulse now grown up). ‘The Revelation: A Message Of Hope For The New Millennium’ (New World Library, 1995) re-framed the Biblical ‘Book of Revelations’ cultural script (the foundational mindset of Evangelical Christianity and the Nation of Islam) as a ‘Solar Consciousness’ reminder of the need to integrate scientific and technological advances with humanism, spirituality, and stewardship. ‘Conscious Evolution: Awakening The Power Of Our Social Potential’ (New World Library, 1998) was a truly provocative and sweeping millennium manifesto...

OMG...Timothy Leary? Nation of Islam?

“the Biblical ‘Book of Revelations’ cultural script (the foundational mindset of Evangelical Christianity and the Nation of Islam)”

I don’t even know what that means-—makes me wonder about the New World Library. Did they mean “Islam” rather than “Nation of Islam”?

I have so little tolerance for this pseudo-religious, cosmic consciousness, self-glorification.

Just lots of empty words, drugs do that...think of Freud, and his cocaine addiction - read ‘The Freudian Fallacy’ - it all only makes sense to those under the influence. Timothy Leary? These people are INSANE!

She channels a spirit? and is called below “a transnational green Progressive”

From Karl Marx, who declared that he would “walk triumphantly like a god” through the ruins of the old Christian-based order to today’s ‘elite’ insider transnational Progressive green-spiritual globalists, all have or are proclaiming their godhood, like Barbara Marx Hubbard for example:

“We are immortal…We can create new life forms and new worlds. We are gods!” a revelation channeled from her spirit guide ‘Christ’ to Barbara Marx Hubbard, influential transnational green Progressive, one of the directors of the World Future Society along with Robert McNamara and scholars from Georgetown University, George Washington University, and the University of Maryland. (False Dawn, Lee Penn, pp. 316, 326)

I’ve moved way off-topic, but may have wandered right into Soros territory...so for future reference or to check out later:

False Dawn; author: Lee Penn

Publisher’s blurb:

The interfaith movement, which began with the 1893 World’s Parliament of Religions in Chicago, has grown worldwide. Although this movement has been largely unknown to the public, it now provides a spiritual face for globalization, the economic and political forces leading us all from nationalism to “One World”. The most ambitious organization in today’s interfaith movement is the United Religions Initiative (URI), founded by William Swing, the Episcopal Bishop of California.

Investigative reporter Lee Penn, a Catholic ex-Marxist, exhaustively documents the history and beliefs of the URI and its New Age and globalist allies, the vested interests that support these movements, and the direction they appear to be taking. The interfaith movement is no longer merely the province of a coterie of little-heeded religious idealists with grandiose visions.

The URI’s proponents have ranged from billionaire George Soros to President George W. Bush, from the far-right Rev. Sun Myung Moon to the liberal Catholic theologian Hans Küng, and from the Dalai Lama to the leaders of government-approved Protestant churches in the People’s Republic of China.

The interfaith movement, including the URI, is being promoted by globalist and New Age reformers who favor erosion of national sovereignty, marginalization of traditional religions, establishment of “global governance”, and creation of a new, Earth-based “global spirituality” — in effect, a one-world religion.

thanks for the link:

Supremely immoral, reeking of perversity, a double-speaking transnational green-progressive leviathan is moving with crushing force across our nation, fostering obscenity and blasphemy, instilling fear and confusion into the hearts of Americans and stifling individual liberty while it perverts Americas’ youth, imposes mind-control and relentlessly destroys the spiritual foundations of America’s traditional Christian-based order. Its’ devilish tactics come into focus in the following examples:

1. Cultural Marxism: the politics of rebellion, perversity, and nihilism fueled by satanic pride.

2. Multiculturalism: the insidious destruction of America’s traditional culture by way of elevating all other cultures in the name of politically correct tolerance.

3. Political correctness, speech codes, and hate crime laws: a psychic-cage for the soul/mind of traditional-values Americans.

4. ‘Gay rights/’gay’ marriage: rebellion against the idea of normal.

5. Sex education: called ’sex pol’ by Marxist-socialists, it’s purpose is the subversion and perversion of our youth, the awakening of the Devil, as Bakunin said. (Read: The Gay-Straight Alliance and the Quiet Revolution, http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/Articles/The%20Gay%20Straight%20Alliance%20and%20the.html)

6. Social justice: the hammering down of everything good, everything excellent, everything normal, everything true into the perversely foul mud of demonic nothingness.

7. Critical theory: the mindless vomiting out of the acid of destructive criticism upon everything good, true, excellent, normal, and traditional.

8. Redistributive Justice: the evisceration of our standard of living and individual liberties in order to ’save the planet’—in other words, death and slavery on behalf of Gaia.

9. Sustainability: Extreme population control and theft of private property to achieve the ‘new’ communism–communitarianism.

10. Religious Pluralism: the erasure of America’s founding Christian-based worldview by way of elevating Wicca, animism, Islam, New Age occult spirituality, Buddhism, shamanism, and atheism in the name of politically correct tolerance and diversity.
