Eric Holder's Hidden Agenda
National Review ^ | 8/28/2009 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 08/28/2009 8:16:59 AM PDT by Servant of the Cross

‘This is an administration that is determined to conduct itself by the rule of law. And to the extent that we receive lawful requests from an appropriately created court, we would obviously respond to it.”

It was springtime in Berlin and Eric Holder, a well-known “rule of law” devotee, was speaking to the German press. He’d been asked if his Justice Department would cooperate with efforts by foreign or international tribunals to prosecute U.S. government officials who carried out the Bush administration’s post-9/11 counterterrorism policies. The attorney general assured listeners that he was certainly open to being helpful. “Obviously,” he said, “we would look at any request that would come from a court in any country and see how and whether we should comply with it.”

As the Associated Press reported at the time, Holder was “pressed on whether that meant the United States would cooperate with a foreign court prosecuting Bush administration officials.” He skirted the question in a way Americans ought to find alarming. The attorney general indicated that he was speaking only about “evidentiary requests.” Translation: The Obama administration will not make arrests and hand current or former American government officials over for foreign trials, but if the Europeans or U.N. functionaries (at the nudging of, say, the Organization of the Islamic Conference) want Justice’s help gathering evidence in order to build triable cases — count us in.

Waht the Leftwingtards are doing is forcing our hand on crushing them out of existence once and for all.

I don't think they are going to like what happens.

He is an Internationalist Communist. Intent on subrogating the Constitution to International Law. Hopefully in the end they can be stopped and tried by an American court.

Well, then shame on you.

KKK was absolute scum, and you should be ashamed of having any empathy with it.

You must be more accurate in your descriptions.

When Nathan Bedford Forrest founded the KKK, it was in response to carpetbaggers and the cruelty of occupying Union troops. It quickly morphed into something totally different, but I can still understand why it was started. 0bama’s hatred of whites and his support of the Black Panthers could very well cause a resurgence of the klan.

This administration's effort to criminalize the prior admin. means they can never relenquish power, for once they do they will be in the dock themselves. Once they open this door they cannot go back. The Porkulus can be undone, even Obamacare could be erased if countermanded before implementaion. Nothing Zero has done to this point is irredeemable. This is. If Zero goes forward with this Civil War is inevitable because he will have to not only be re-elected with the assistance of 20 million illegal aliens and ACORN but he will have to have the BOR changed so he can be "elected" president for life. If he and his cronies once even temporarlily lose ther grip on the reins of power they will also be prosecuted for their crimes.

We are witnessing the emergence of a new government dictatorship...on American soil. History tells us that the rampant corruption, fed by cronyism, are the nuts and bolts of dictatorships.

Dictatorships are almost always governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect each other from accountability.

Obama is building his personal Civilian Security Force------ACORN and illegals blindly loyal to Obama----ready to silence the populace and march us to reeducation camps.

The Third World (organized by illegals inside the US) can easily be mobilized.........b/c of their blind loyalty to Obama for all he’s giving them. Including:

a USSC justice, top federal jobs, amnesty,

free healthcare, free houses, free mortgages,

endless identities, unlimited SS nos, sanctuary cities,

billions of tax dollars to latino-centric organzations to fight Americans,

neutralizing L/E to allow illegals to engage in law-breaking with impunity, etc, etc, etc.

Glenn Beck is issuing dire warnings about Obama’s “Civilian Security Force” ...stronger and better-funded than the US military" (in Obama's own words). Beck keeps baiting Obama to tell who is the "civilian enemy" the “Civilian National Security Force will be fighting..

I believe if you see this administration going after and prosecuting the prior administration and people whose responsibility it was to protect and defend this country against enemies foreign and domestic, there will be such an outcry like you wouldn’t believe.

Which is why they are willing to let a foreign court do the prosecution and Holder would be willing to hand over evidence. That's what this story is about. Sort of a Pontius Pilate move.

“Black liberation theology.

Black power.

The Man (whitey) been keeping us down (yeah, like I/we owned a plantation in South carolina until last year, LOL)”

You find it funny

I find it funny

But Obama is a true believer. We should call him Barack Ogabe.

I have been incorporating Alinsky’s Tactics into my personal arsenal and I find it can be quite effective.

I recently asked someone who was railing about the “U.S. history of racism and slavery” about the history of their lives in the past ten years- did that include any evidence of slavery or institutionalized oppression? They had no answer. I laughed in their face and walked away.

I am done being PC, and as I move around the blue city/state in which I live, I look at angry minorities with a look on my face that asks “so you hate whitey too? Yes, cant you tell I’m a plantation owner?” Believe me, the mocking smile is effective. They arent sure how to deal with it.

Several months ago while engaged in conversation with an ambulance chaser who claimed he was an independent but was still railing about Bush, I looked him right in the eye and with a mocking smile, said “You have Bush derangement syndrome”. I swear he looked like I had killed his puppy.

These tactics work, and must be turned on them- the communists are here and the marxist revoltion is upon us. It is up to us to resist and retake our country IN EVERY WAY WE CAN, including mocking the radicals.

I have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution, and I have affirmed that I do not seek to overthrow the government. However, I am actively seeking to overthrow the communists who are IN our government.

Molon labe!

Holder laid his cards on the table early-on----when he told a shocked America that we are all cowards (WRT race).

He is an individual with deep-rooted grievances...... and is in a position to unburden himself.

Obama/Rahm/Holder are purposefully antagonizing large conservative groups in middle America in an effort to cause civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law.

Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome admin are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.

If these arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

“Holder laid his cards on the table early-on——when he told a shocked America that we are all cowards (WRT race). “

Holder and Obama are racists who think they can run over the white middle class with their shadow government and infiltration tactics. I guess they figured that if whitey was stupid enough to fall for his “hope & change(Alinsky) bukk$hit, we would just line up for the slaughter. He was wrong! We ran a RINO that most conservatives would either not vote for, or would do so with great reluctance. The war has started, the clock is ticking, and we must be ever vigilant!

If one is to fight the Marxists, one has to familiarize
oneself with their bible. I just ordered “Rules for Radicals”
and I will commit it to memory. All my life I have studied the”bully/coward” syndrome. Obama is a spoiled rotten bully/coward, who will fold like a house of cards if we stand up to him. Obama intends to push the envelope as far as he can while in office. He intends to take over as much of the “means of production” as he can get away with, and hand it over to his people. Will we stop him? I believe we will. It will get ugly.

While you are waiting for your book, here is an online summary of it. The infamous tactics part is in section seven, but there is more to his paradigm than that, as you will see from reading through the page.
