Has everyone seen this? It seems that the US government has successfully put into action a plan to purchase, and burn, 10,000 books by a US Army reserve Colonel, called "Operation Dark Heart" about his experiences as an undercover agent in Afghanistan. Since when did the United States government get into the book burning business? Has this ever happened before? These guys truly are the gang that couldn't shoot straight -- remember the book Spycatcher? The United Kingdom government tried to ban it and block it, but it was published in Australia instead and sold an incredible number of copies,...

At his press conference, the first one in half a year among Barack Hussein Obama was seen not to be wearing his gold wedding band. Reason? Could it be that Muslims are not allowed to wear jewelry during Ramadan? I looked at quite a lot of speculation on the Internet. As always, there is a lot of static mixed in with a little bit of commentary, from both sides. Isn't it extremely odd that he suddenly shows up not wearing a wedding ring? Doesn't he know that this will open him up to a lot of speculation? Demand has a...

The news just becomes more and more outrageous. America is floundering, America is sinking, his advisers are quitting, his poll numbers are tanking, while he parties on Martha's Vineyard for $50,000 a week. Have we ever had a president who parties nine times in barely half a year, and spends $50,000 a week? The people are hurting. The working classes hurting. People who struggle, and try hard, and pay taxes, can't find jobs. The false unemployment number of 9.5% is double what George Bush had, and that was called "the worst economy ever". The true U6 number is 17% --...

0bama holds Muslim celebrations in the WH but canceled the National Day of Prayer --- twice. Wonder why?. The Obamas have always said that "they don't give Christmas gifts to the children" and "they don't give birthday gifts" . It is not allowed to Muslims to "imitate the unfaithful" i.e. Christians. 0bama falsely attributes Muslim participation in the founding of America - there were no Muslims in America at that time. 0bama required that the cross and other Christian symbols be covered when he gave a speech at Notre Dame. Obama has ordered thousands of yards of black drapery to...

There are so many odd aspects in this story is difficult to know where to start. Since we don't have any paperwork to hold in our hands to go on; by which I mean his true long form birth certificate, then all is speculation. However, I noticed one thing during the many discussions. Go to Wiki and take a look at Stanley Ann. You will see that she was born November 29, 1942. This means that she was unmarried, single, and just 17 years old when she got pregnant with our President. If indeed Barack Hussein Obama was born August...

Liberal talk show hosts sound off on President Barack Obama’s elitist attitude, claiming he hates black people because he was to be the head black man in America. In fact, he doesn’t even want to be black. No really. Viewer advisory F-Bomb used in video

The Post & Email has made contact with a highly credible individual who was born and raised in Indonesia. Here he explains the significance of the term “Soebarkah,” which first appeared to the American public on July 29, 2010 on passport application forms released by the Bureau of Customs and Border Control to Mr. Christopher Strunk, who had filed a lawsuit in November 2008 after his FOIA request was denied.

Tents costing £400,000 have been set up, £70,000 is going on tables and crockery and a staggering £320,000 is being spent on flowers, thought to be Casablanca lillies and orchids. Miss Clinton’s dress, designed by Oscar de la Renta or Vera Wang, is rumoured to be a cool £16,000, and the jewellery she wears on the day is worth £160,000. The cake alone will cost £7,000 and security a further £130,000. Estimates put the cost at between £1.9million and £3.2million, far more than most celebrity weddings. When Liza Minnelli and David Gest tied the knot, it cost £1.6million, while Tom...

If reports are true that Chelsea Clinton and her boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky are considering marriage, the father of the groom won't be able to attend the wedding until he is released from prison in November 2008. Ed Mezvinsky, a former Democratic Congressman from Iowa, is serving a seven-year sentence for fraud after getting caught up in a series of Nigerian e-mail scams. Initially, Mezvinsky became the victim of "just about every different kind of African-based scam we've ever seen," federal prosecutor Bob Zauzmer told 20/20 for a report to be broadcast this evening.

... the Ethics Committee finished with its inquiry. Lawmakers probed. Interviewed. And in the end, found wrongdoing by Rangel. But to quote the 1970s song by The Carpenters, “We’ve only just begun.” In fact, an investigative panel of the House Ethics Committee Thursday issued what it termed a “Statement of Alleged Violation,” meaning lawmakers indeed uncovered ethical lapses. The committee wasn’t specific about where Rangel slipped. But they’ve studied Rangel’s taxes, his use of Congressional stationary to raise money for a school of public affairs in his name, how he’s utilized rent-controlled apartments in Harlem and the improper storage of...

A month after scoring their new palatial Montecito estate, Al and Tipper transferred nine properties the wealthy Gores own in Carthage, Tennessee from their own names into a limited liability company (LLP) – a corporate partnership which, legally, is a separate entity.

You've no doubt heard by now about the sexual assault allegations made against Al Gore by a Portland, Oregon massage therapist stemming from a 2006 incident.

Imagine There’s No Borders

Anwar al-Awlaki, the U.S.-born imam linked to the Fort Hood shooting spree in Texas in November, the botched Christmas Day airliner bombing, and the failed Times Square bombing early this month, credited the Washington Post with tipping him off and allowing him to elude a U.S. airstrike in Yemen in December. Most of the attention given to al-Awlaki’s lengthy interview in an al-Qaida video released Sunday has focused on his call to kill civilian Americans. But far more provocative is his revelation of how the U.S. media can inadvertently assist and protect al-Qaida terrorists. “I had posted an article of...

It appears that the German Government has just plain had enough of the crap that the banksters have tried to pull, and has decided to do what Barack Obama should have done in early 2009. That is: No more naked credit crap, especially against sovereigns but not only against sovereigns. No insurable interest, no CDS - period. Naked shorting will now be actually stopped in 10 leading financial institutions. Germany has had it with naked shorting of Gold, and specifically noted bank manipulation of gold prices via naked shorts beyond intent or ability to deliver.

The investigation into a cop killing in the ’70s leads to a Chicago law professor involved in the early stages of Barack Obama’s political career.

Kagan lamented that “a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States”; that “Americans are more likely to speak of … capitalism’s glories than of socialism’s greatness”; that “the desire to conserve has overwhelmed the urge to alter”; that “in a society by no means perfect,” no “radical party” had yet “attained the status of a major political force”; that “the socialist movement [had] never become an alternative to the nation’s established parties”; and that the Socialist Party had “exhausted itself forever and further reduced labor radicalism in New York to the position of marginality and...

"Traders and salesmen would boast about 'ripping the faces off their clients' -- structuring and selling complicated deals that clients did not understand but that generated huge profits for the bank that was brokering the trade."

Unlike the Icelandic volcano, this was no natural disaster. Trillions of dollars have been defrauded from the U.S. taxpayer by a banking scam run by the top 1% of our country. The mark for this con game has been and continues to be every teacher, cop, firefighter, nurse, conservative saver, small investor, student and retiree. People whose pensions, homes, jobs and monthly retirement stipends have been and continue to be deprived — so these people can use our government to transfer money from your work to themselves. We also know that the same people responsible for this failed system are...

Interested in seeing Barack Obama's dreams for the U.S. in real time? Pack some toilet paper, Tylenol, and towels. Then hop a plane to Cuba. Just ninety miles off Florida's coast, Obama's ideas are alive and kicking. In fact, visiting Cuba today may be more meaningful than ever before. Touring the country of 11 million lets you see everything the far left "knows" is right, just, and good for all of us.
