The Candidates Debate

It sure was an interesting GOP debate the other evening in South Carolina.

After an initial coming together to express condolences over the tragic passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia (perhaps the worst day for freedom loving Americans since Obamacare was passed), things got rather dicey quickly.

This was to be expected, as South Carolina has in recent cycles been where the gloves come off, and winners and loser are separated.

However, it was particularly ugly on Saturday night, with the majority of the altercations coming, not from those initially attacking front runner Donald Trump, but Trump attacking & his challengers.

Trump labeled Cruz nasty and "the single biggest liar, a real nasty guy who does not get along with any of his colleagues. In a news conference today, Trump essentially went scorched earth on Cruz.

"Ted Cruz is a totally unstable individual. He is the single biggest liar I’ve ever come across, in politics or otherwise, and I have seen some of the best of them. His statements are totally untrue and completely outrageous. It is hard to believe a person who proclaims to be a Christian could be so dishonest and lie so much".

Trump is feeling heat from Cruz, and unleashed a major attack, however, the Donald was sadly incorrect in his assertions.

I am not seeking a candidate who gets along with Congressional members who are complicit in the destruction of our nation.  Cruz called Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell a liar on the Senate floor, and Cruz was correct in doing so in my opinion.

Given what CNN reported publicly, Cruz is also correct in the dispute with Ben Carson Trump references. CNN is not a sound news organization,  which Cruz's team should have known, but with the information out, it was not only appropriate, but a responsible and smart course of action to inform voters.  If anyone is to blame, it is Ben Carson for not making his plans known to his supporters to prevent any misconceptions.

And for the record, Cruz is also correct in his ongoing spat with Marco Rubio on immigration.

Then Trump really got going.
 
First, Jeb Bush has a much more favorable assessment of his family than most do.  Most folks think the Bush family are good people, and I certainly do.

As a Floridian, it is my opinion Jeb Bush, whom I voted for, did a great job as governor of the Sunshine State.  I gleefully voted for Bush 41 in 1988 but found his performance weak, but supported him again in 1992 against Bill Clinton.  I enthusiastically supported Bush 43 in 2000 and in 2004, and while I still consider his presidency successful and know he was far superior to his Democrat challengers, the more time went on the more disappointed I became with his administration.  However, my disagreements with 43 are minimal and my admiration for him (particularly as a man of class and honor) is strong.  It would be difficult for anyone to no consider the Bush family as a great principled family who care deeply for the United States of America.

But Trump got loose, calling not only the war with Iraq a mistake, but called George W. Bush a liar, commenting that Bush and his team had lied about weapons of mass destruction while saying under 43 "we were not safe".

After being attacked on 9-11, George W. Bush did in fact keep us safe.  Many can question the steps he took to make that happen, but we were not attacked again on our soil during his administration, unlike the Obama administration.  Argue about the Patriot Act if you please, and I will join you, but to say that Bush did not succeed in keeping America safe while prosecuting a global war on terror war is false.

As far as concluding Bush lied about the weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq, I vehemently challenge that statement as false. There were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and they were moved to Syria and are there as we speak. As I noted in a post in December of 2012:

"No longer politically expedient to admonish George W. Bush for going to war with Iraq on false assumptions of the existence of these weapons, it should come as no surprise that stories shining light on the weapons transfer from Iraq to Syria are emerging in frequency. While many reports are discussing recently discovered pathways of weapon movement from Iraq to Syria, hidden behind the discussion is the transfer during the postponement of the invasion of Iraq that France President Jacque Chirac, a dishonest broker who worked against US interests, bought. The second to none editorial page of Investors Business Daily leads the way as usual in presenting and detailing the truth. IBD, in an editorial yesterday, continues to present the facts even if few Americans are willing to absorb it".

I have always personally liked Donald Trump and admired much of his business accomplishment and while he is not my first choice for the GOP nomination, unlike many, I had felt comfortable in supporting him should he win the nomination.

I am now questioning that assessment.

Donald Trump is not an idiot, so I am sure his attacks are based on some level of methodology. However, defeating opponents on merit and on the battlefield of ideas has often been superior to berating with opponents with name calling, lies and threats.

America is some kind of pissed at the establishment of both parties, and Trump has a very unique opportunity before him.  However, while I may be wrong, his scorched earth ramblings in recent days may not only burn up his opponents, it may engulf his candidacy as well.

Disagree with their policies as you wish, but I conclude neither Ted Cruz nor George W. Bush (and I note that Bush is no fan of Cruz) are liars.  Trump; however, is starting to look as though he may be.

Or maybe this is just South Carolina as usual.

Have We Transformed Into Nation of Men?

Two events over the last six months have proved a somewhat of a catalyst to rioting and an assault on law enforcement professionals in this nation.

First, the case of Michael Brown unfolded in Ferguson, MO, where Mr. Brown was shot dead in the street by a police officer after an altercation. Later, an unfortunate event took place in Staten Island, NY, where suspect Eric Garner died of heart failure in transport the a hospital in an ambulance after having tussled with several police officers.  While we deem the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson totally justified, Garner could have been dealt with in a more efficient way, perhaps avoiding his death.

However, both of these men would likely still be alive if they were not committing crimes and disrespecting the police.  These men, particularly Mr. Brown, decided not to follow the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, who demonstrated clearly for our nation on how to carry yourself while exhibiting your right to protest.

In the aftermath of the events that unfolded in Ferguson, and prior to the incident in Staten Island, we fired out a thorough, direct and accurate assessment of the truth.  In our commentary, we noted the following:

In fact, it would seem Obama administration folks and their progressive supporters, many of whom seek chaos and the destruction of our traditions, are fueling this flame. 

Sadly, that sentence resonates in truth, and with that knowledge, something awful was bound to happen.

With the radical left leaders, with President Obama and NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio (who we warned you about) representing those elected, Attorney General Eric Holder representing those appointed, and Al Sharpton, the nations premiere race-hustler and self proclaimed leader of the black community fueling the flames by informing the citizenry of centuries racial oppression and of police brutality, something awful was bound to happen.

With the festering of emotions, coupled with orchestrated chaos during riots and die-in protests, a truly despicable event took place in Brooklyn.  Two New York City Police officers were executed sitting in their car last Saturday.



May God Bless these two heroes, members of our nations finest. Prayers are also extended to their families.

Sadly, the aforementioned helped set the tone which lead to the protests against law enforcement, and by extension, to the execution of these two officers. The policies driven by President Obama, and his allies in the progressive movement, are creating the environment for the economic and racial strife, along with class warfare, currently engulfing our nation.  This is not happening by happenstance, but rather by orchestrated design.

One would think our nation would be mourning the loss of these two officers of the law, and while the majority are, we need to take note of the legions of citizens void of a set of principles, individual responsibility and a conscious capable of knowing right and wrong.  See the following:


There are tens of thousand with the same views as "Marie", who no doubt views herself as a victim of the big government apparatus, in the form of progressive Democrats, she continues to vote for.  Even the lapdog media, pushing false narratives for political gain, are getting involved.  Ignorant to be sure. 


CNN Idiots utilizing false narrative
This evening, Mayor DeBlasio asked for the protests to cease until after the funerals for the officers.  They told him to stick it.  Blinded by his arrogance, Mayor DeBlasio has no idea that he registers zero on the credibility scale.  In addition, he is not a student of history, or he would know the useful idiots he has doing the dirty work of protesting and creating chaos on the street will eventually turn on him and other "leaders".

At least the New York Yankees organization  has some class, and we thank them for their kindness.

With the government embracing the useful idiots to usher in chaos, all in the effort to gain government control, innocent people are now getting killed.  Martin Luther King Jr. noted the perils and danger of what he described as a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. 


I stand with law enforcement across the fruited plain, and call for the arrests of all protesters who utilize vandalism, violence and display a total disrespect for the law.  Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!

Are we still a nation of laws, or have we transformed into a nation of men?

Time To Blitz Barack

Rush Limbaugh relishes the video as one of his favorites.

The video was from back in 2006 when the approval rating of George Bush fell to 32%, and Wolf Blitzer, on his CNN program "The Situation Room", could not have been more thrilled.

"It's 4 p.m. here in Washington. So you're getting the first look right now at our brand-new poll. The president's job approval rating has taken a downward turn again, falling to only 36%." is how Blitzer gleefully introduced the burning political issue of the day.

Blitzer was not the only mainstream media host or program blitzing Bush in those days, or any day for that matter. The negativity bombarding Bush was beyond relentless, and some even questioned his ability to hold the office, and his mental capacity.

On Wednesday, as the government shutdown marks days on the calendar, as Limbaugh highlighted, an Associated Press story was syndicated with the headline "No Heroes In Shutdown, GOP Gets Most Blame." As AP sees it in their supposed neutrality, it is the fault of the GOP the country finds itself in such tremendous peril.

Should anyone reading the story make it eight paragraphs deep, and most will not, the reader will discover that while the GOP gets most of the blame, the approval rating for President Obama has fallen to 37%.  Hello Wolf?

As you can imagine, there were no breaking news bulletins on the likes of CNN, MSNBC or even FOX News Channel, where it was reported along with other noteworthy political issues of the day, and there were plenty.  The Drudge Report linked to the AP story; however, nobody was thought to have marked where they were on this day to witness the actions of a president "coming home to roost", as Blitzer trumpeted.

This high level of media bias is sadly expected.  As Limbaugh has ofter correctly noted, there is no news, only a propraganda maching of the Democratic Party.  The evidence reasonably supports his contention, time and time again.

However, other than another glaring example of media bias, a more telling piece of information which requires some insightful analysis is discovered.

George W. Bush was repeatedly hammered by the mainstream media for a multiude of reasons, most notably due to the war in Iraq.  Given the onsluaght of relentless and widespread attacks on Bush, it almost seems surprising his prroval rating was so high.

President Obama
The mainstream media finds President Obama as a president for the ages, an apolitical individual of diversity and extreme intelligence who is uniquely equipped to engage and solve all the issues our country faces. Heck, in all his arrogance, he can even rename the Washington Redskins should political correctness demand it.

Lies amid doublespeak, immeasurable incompetence and the breaking of laws be damned, the media continues to smother the public with adulation of this man, failing in criminally complicit fashion to present the "promised" transparency of this imperial administration.

Given, as Bernie Goldberg noted, the slobbering love affair the media has with Obama, it is amazing his approval rating has sank so low. Perhaps the recent events of the government shutdown, in which the President has behaved in a immature, petulant and spitefull manner, the eyes of many a "distracted" citizen have been opened.

It is my contention that if the media was in fact a fourth leg of government operating as the eyes and ears of the public, performing necessary checks and balances of the duly elected government, the approval rating of President Obama would be fortunate to exceed single digits.

In fact, he would be impeached. Time To Blitz Barack

It Makes A Difference

It has begun.

With a level of glee and joy rarely witnessed, the left wing power brokers have begun their extensive promotion of Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States.

Two movies are forthcoming, one from CNN, who is sort of thought of as a news organization, which will aim to allow Secretary Clinton to coruscate among a cast of would be challengers. With the media and progressive operatives already promoting the coronation of Hillary Clinton for 2016, we will seek to combat propaganda with truth. 

Previously, as we check the achieves, we wrote about her involvement with George Soros and The Shadow Party.  This wing of the party is hardly in the shadows these days, bu it gives glimpse of her extensive tentacles in socialism and governmental control of the citizenry.  Indeed, she is lurking in the shadows, since many people, inclusive of supporters, do not know where her real principles of political thought are based.  Cloward and Piven would be a start.

While the investigation into the aforementioned area is stunning, her recent failures as Secretary of State are most alarming.  In the aftermath of her leadership under President Obama, the Middle East is truly a powder keg set to erupt at any moment in large measure due to incompetent or insanely derived foreign policy.

Then, there are the despicable actions surrounding the deaths of four patriots; Ambassador Chris Stevens, Glen Doherty, Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, in Benghazi.  A cover up for illegal gun running resulted in their deaths and the obfuscation and misrepresentation of the facts coupled with the stonewalling of prudent investigations into the events paint the picture of not a potential statesman, but a liar.

What difference does it make quipped Ms. Clinton?  I think plenty, and I find her cmments appalling and offensive.

Further stated, she is a disgraceful individual and unbefitting the presidency. Ask Pat Smith, whose son died in service to our country in Benghazi.

Truthful Issues & Insights

Although it may be a tall order to attract viewers given their anti-American stances, earlier today, Al Jazeera America launced in some 40 million homes through cable systems across America. The network is ambitious, hiring top talent, mostly from CNN, to become the face of the network here in the states.

The Hollywood Reporter, of all people, has a quick primer on the network.  The ownership is not fond of America, and has been supportive on and off the air of those who seek harm to Uncle Sam. 

For some reason; however, members of the left not only welcome, but push it as the place to get non biased, "real news".  This includes Hillary Clinton, who is currently engaged in some sort of coronation for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination.

The majority of the major cable outlets welcome Al-Jazeera, and all voices should be welcomed.  Of course, these same companies have for the most part rejected efforts by The Blaze, an American company, to be included on their systems.  Bias at play? Count on it.

Any information presented by Al-Jazeera should be absorbed with caution.  This is true for any new source, particularly the major news networks, whose portrayal of balance is non credible.  This includes blogs, including this one.  Information should be analyzed in order to formulate a sound basis for an opinion to be derived.

One of the top sources of information I utilize is Investors Business Daily.  I became a subscriber back in the early 1990's because William J. O'Neill had developed a proprietary stock evaluation system that was unrivaled.  Without question, pouring through the pages of IBD has been an invaluable tool for technical and fundamental analysis of stock performance.

However, over the years the editorial pages of IBD has become the top of the field, edging out the fine folks over at The Wall Street Journal.  The IBD editorial page allows the reader to find out what is really going on, something not found in most major newspapers or network or cable news. They say it like it is.

IBD offers no quarter to those who aim ill will against the freedom and prosperity of the United States, and that is an effort I can subscribe to.  The following is a sample of articles over the last few days, opinions based on facts presented for your consumption and evaluation, for your review.

Investors Business Daily
From our founding, we are a nation of laws, not men. Although there have been a multitude of missteps, we have always strived to operate beholden to the rule of law and a code of ethics.  This philosophy is not a tenant in the Obama administration, which if you get news from the mainstream media you may be unaware of.  IBD makes the case, noting Obama's Legacy Of Lawlessness.

Among the falsities being promulgated by the administration is that the onslaught of scandals engulfing the Obama administration are phony, but most everyone recognizes how deceitful and disrespectful that commentary is.  IBD won't assist in letting these scandals die, and has a piece about That "Phony" Fast And Furious Scandal.

America is waking up, and the Obama administration if quite fearful that everyone is about to recognize what an actual fraud Obama is.  To that extent, everyone who legally criticizes Commander Thin Skin must be publicly admonished, including a rodeo clown in Missouri.  Yeah, a rodeo clown. IBD comes out In Defense Of Rodeo Clowns in an editorial by Pulitzer Prize winning Cartoonist Michael Ramirez.
 

Mark Steyn

With the NSA scandal, not so phony at all, exploding down a rat hole of unlawful government activity, Americans from all factions of political arenas are quite concerned.  Guest columnist Mark Steyn, a true treasure, expresses a viewpoint that the Glum Fact Of Life Today: Our Privacy Is Vanishing.  It is vanishing in much more rapid fashion than you realize, and before it is too late, you should know the facts.

Analysis from the left and right is presented on a daily basis, and you should read each one to gain perspective regarding what those who see the world opposite of you are thinking and feeling.  Knowledge is power; right?

Eugene Robinson
Eugene Robinson, of The Washington Post, writes from the left that Obama Needs To Speak Truth About Egypt.  Robinson is an Obama guy, but he seems to understand the importance of the rule of law in our country. For Robinson to insinuate the truth is missing regarding this subject speaks volumes.  I cannot recall thinking, much less writing this, but Robinson is on point in this editorial.

Larry Kudlow
Lawrence Kudlow, a favorite of BAHL Revere, often offers economic commentary from the right in IBD.  Although I have a degree in Economics and find it most interesting, most folks do not. But it is vitally important for our citizens to have a basic understanding of how the economy ticks and what policies enhance economic growth which benefits our citizenry.  Kudlow, host of The Kudlow Report on CNBC, writes that the Obama History Of Economy Is But A Fairy Tale.

The crisis is Egypt is under reported in the mainstream media, but not at IBD.  In fact, not only are we being lied to about the severity of situation as it stands, but what actually was a trigger point for causing the crisis in the first place.  You guessed it, You Can Thank Obama's Ego For The Carnage and Crisis in Egypt.

Amidst all the anger and horror, could you imagine who is actually being blamed and targeted?  You won't find that information in the mainstream media, or Al-Jerzerra, but while the world is mum, IBD informs you The Muslim Brotherhood Targets Coptic Christians in Egypt.

Investors Business Daily is a reliable source for inquisitive readers to gain a solid perspective on the economic and geopolitical events that, while not commonly considered, do have a major effect on the everyday lives of our citizenry.

As we have said, The Salvation Of The State Is Watchfulness In The Citizen. At the top of list of outlets for the citizen to become informed is the editorial page of Investors Business Daily. In addition, you will gain command over your investment portfolio.

Patriots Eye On Boston

Sadly, against a myriad of scandals within the Obama administration, the efforts aiming to craft and pass a bipartisan immigration bill, an odd plane crash and the return of political investment emerging from an unnecessarily racially charged trail in the culmination of the case against George Zimmerman, led by the mainstream media the American public, the Boston bombing has been placed in the dust bin of history.

It should not be.

Although we are only reporting here on BAHL Revere our opinion based on having consumed the outstanding work of many other media outlets, bloggers and concerned citizens, it is far from difficult to come to the realization something is very, very wrong.  The issues surrounding the act of terrorism played out on the streets of Boston are not being adequately reported by the mainstream media, and therefore, most of our citizenry has no idea about the many outstanding questions that remain unanswered.

Recently, we presented a piece trying to present what we know in somewhat of a chronological manner, and although efforts were made to be concise, there is plenty of material to consume.  The unanswered questions raised within the essay are extremely significant and raise most troubling concerns.

Please see the previous post HERE, but the bubble list is as follows:
  • The older Tsarnaev brother is linked to a 2011 an unsolved triple homicide in Boston.
  • There were trial runs within the metro Boston market in day prior to event.
  • Pictures posted within days if not hours of the bombing show several potential suspects, one in particular, who have not bee brought to the attention of the public.
  • A Saudi man enters the hospital with wounds consistent with setting a bomb and is presented to the public by CNN, only to have veteran reporters retract the initial reports.
  • Michelle Obama visited the Saudi national in the hospital.
  • The Saudi national is noted as someone classified by our government as a dangerous individual with terroristic ties and is noted to be set for deportation.
  • FBI agents kill a friend of the Tzarnaev brothers in Orlando with disputed deatails
  • A group of trespassers, described as foreign engineering students, are caught at the Boston Quabbin Reservoir.  No issues say government officials.
  • Three padlocks were found to have been cut at the Boston aqueduct.
Further information regarding all of these issues has not materialized, and all is seemingly forgotten. Nothing to see here.  Move along.

But thankfully, those pesky alternative media folks still have their eyes wide open, and on Wednesday The Blaze broke a story that is significantly troubling given what we know.  The Blaze reported some rather odd guests who attended The White House Fourth of July party.

As it turns out, Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, the Saudi national and person of interest in the Boston bombing, attended the party with his father and brother.  The Blaze has photos, including up close shots with the President and First Lady.

Ali Al-Salimi Al-Harbi/Photo/The Blaze
Although highly unlikely based upon the credibility of the sources, perhaps the conclusions we draw about Ali Alharbi are off base.  If so, we would encourage the proper agency representatives to clear the air as he and his family are obviously of some importance to the administration.  However, it is not likely they have the ability to do so.

Therefore, we must conclude based upon our current evidence that our President is associating with unsavory at best characters who may present a danger to our country.  Are the interests of the United States being adequately served in this instance?

As the salvation of the state is watchfulness in the citizen, we must seek answers to the troubling questions which have arisen in the aftermath of the Boston bombing. The list of questions is long, and sadly, growing, but thankfully pesky investigative journalists riding with Scooby Doo in the Mystery Machine remain on this case and many more.

Nothing To See Here

What in the world is going on in Boston?

Obviously, we are all well aware of the tragic terrorist acts which marred the Boston Marathon. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those who lost their life and those who have forever been negatively impacted by the actions of these terrorists.

However, the aftermath of the event has been quite confusing and with all the scandals engulfing the Obama administration, it is hard for the public to keep their eye on the ball.  Heck, we don't even know what game we are playing.

While the authorities chased down the publicly know suspects, a major US city was in lock down. It was the Tsarnaev brothers, Chechen immigrants, with the older brother killed in a shootout and the younger brother, after being identified by a private citizen, having been captured in cuddy cabin boat on a trailer in the yard of a suburban Boston home.  Tsarnaev is awaiting trial. 

It is over, and the bad guys have been caught and are off the street.  All is good; nothing to see here.  Not so fast my friend.

Where did it all begin?  One of the aforementioned scandals had to do with the National Security Agency spying, without warrant, on all Americans in the name of prohibiting our nation from being hit again by terrorists.  As Benjamin Franklin so eloquently said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety". Even though reports have the Russian government warning us about the brothers Tsarnaev, with the federal government spying on the citizenry with high tech surveillance, it did nothing to stop terrorism from striking our streets, literally, in Boston. 

That ole Franklin was a real gem.

Although we are not aware of any intelligence gathered from surveillance tactics, there were significant clues something was up.

On September 11, 2011, a vicious homicide took place in the area in which the Tsarnaev brothers resided, with the victim having been a close friend of the older Tsarnaev brother.  The case remained unsolved, but it is noteworthy that news reports indicate Tsarnaev did not attend the funeral.  That type of behavior should have raised some suspicion.

Only after the bombing investigation got going did the authorities stumble upon the obvious; that mounting evidence suggested Tsarnaev brothers were involved in the grisly killing.

In the weeks prior to the Boston bombing over in Hanover, nearby the area the Tsarnaev brothers and their friends lived, came news reports of two recent incidents where homemade explosives were detonated.  At the first location, it was noted that witnesses at the nearby Target store on Washington Street reported seeing a bright flash and hearing two explosions from that area. The local news report noted that several unexploded devices were found at the scene and later detonated under secure conditions by the State Police Bomb Squad.  Obviously, these were dry runs.

On the day after the bombing, a series of photographs were published on the internet.  I became aware of the pictures from a Facebook post by FOX News Eric Bolling, and you can see the entire portfolio of photos HERE.

These photos are very interesting indeed.  Several potential suspects, most carrying backpacks, are seen in the screen shots.  I am particularly interested in the picture presented below.  The first is a photo of the immediate aftermath of the bombing, and something peculiar is quite noticeable.  Standing right beyond the start finish line are two men dressed in similar attire who appear stationary and not at all fazed by what has occurred.  Take a look.

 
A closer inspection of the photo, zoomed in below, shows two men hiding backpacks apparently engaged in some form of communication.  Certainly, to engage in identification of these men would be speculative, but it does appear the man on the left is the older Tsarnaev brother.  However, it is clear that the other individual is not the younger Tsarnaev brother.  Take a look. 
 

To gain clearer perspective, an opportunity a better look exists. Click here for full resolution image.

If we assume the individual on the left is in fact the older Tsarnaev brother, who is the individual on the right?  Although some friends of the Tsarnaev brothers have been arrested on lesser charges, none resembled this man. 

The authorities have informed the public there are no outstanding suspects related to the bombings, but regardless if the man pictured on the left is the older Tsarnaev brother or not, these two men are reacting unlike most everyone else pictured, which at a minimum raises suspicion.

I have not heard anything in the media about who these two men, and particularly the one pictured at right, are.  I would like to know.  Oh well, nothing to see here. Move on.

In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, new reports suggested a man who had been hospitalized with injuries likely sustained at the bombing.  The injuries were described as consistent with someone who was not injured from the bombing, but participatory in implementing the bombing.

Respectable journalists over at CNN reported the news, labeling the suspect as a Saudi Arabian. Seemingly due to political correctness, the reports were retracted.  CNN promptly regretted the error, but I conclude there was no error.  John King has been at this a long time and he would not recklessly report such a thing, and Fran Townsend has a credible reputation as well.  CNN may be publicly apologizing for the error, but there was no error. Wonder who got to these guys?

The story of the error has no credibility because the problem is that this individual actually exists, and The Blaze, among others, did extensive reporting on this individual.  The young man had been classified by our government as very dangerous, as The Blaze reports.

In what appeared as a stunning jailbreak of lemmings, the media quickly retracted that this individual, complete with burned hands, was not a suspect at all.  In fact, although there was no official recognition of the event, pictures indicate Michelle Obama visited him in the hospital. Reports now suggest he was deported and will not face further interrogation on the subject.  Just lovely.

With the propaganda arm of the Obama administration, the mainstream media, having dropped the subject from the daily news reel, the American people lost focus on the subject as a slew of scandals suffocated the Obama administration.

With the dust seemingly settled came news of a rather startling event just north of Boston.  On May 14th, patrols were stepped up after seven chemical engineering students were caught trespassing at the Quabbin Reservoir.  As CBS Boston reports, State Police say the five men and two women are from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Singapore, and “cited their education and career interests” for being in the area. The men told police they were chemical engineers and recent college graduates.

No charges were to be filed against the trespassers, but that did not sit well with Glenn Beck.



After the early and prompt decision not to charge the trespassers, Massachusetts Police are appealing that decision. The reservoir, which provides the city of Boston their drinking water, was accurately deemed "critical infrastructure" and thus the Mass. Police found charges were appropriate.  It should be noted the trespassers included adults, five men and two women, who were from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.

Common sense would have you believe the authorities within and surrounding Boston would be on high alert given these wide ranging events with terroristic suspicion.  We are unable to conclude that after learning what took place at the Boston Aqueduct on June 3. 

Three padlocks to hatches were cut at the Boston aqueduct, which supplies water to greater Boston. Seemingly oblivious to the previous incidents, CBS Boston reports State Police are investigating, though they say “there is no evidence of any crime other than vandalism.”  Nothing to see here.

While the events following the Boston Marathon bombing may be isolated incidents with no relation to the terroristic acts of the bombing, my tolerance for coincidence expired a long time ago.  In addition, there are several unanswered and troubling aspects regarding the bombing that have not been adequately addressed.

Obviously, our government values their relationships with countries and groups that harbor terrorists.  While questions regarding Boston remain unanswered, the administration aims to engage in assisting in weaponizing terrorists in Syria and welcomes terrorists into The White House.

Goodwill is quickly contracting globally, and with the United States in decline due to weak leadership and financial constraints, a significant event could catapult Uncle Sam into a very perilous position.  Such an event could well be financial, but it certainly could be the actions of terrorists, or both.

Before discounting the events in Boston, recognize those who carried out the events of September 11, 2001 were not Rhodes Scholars. It would be prudent to remain vigilant.

Us And Them

As the dust settles in the aftermath of the terrorist bombings in Boston last week, the investigation is in high gear. So is the propaganda.

Among the things that we can reasonably conclude it that the Chechen brothers Tsarnaev carried out the bombings at the Boston Marathon and killed an MIT Security Officer while on the run. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother, was killed while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was captured last Friday night.

The brothers were radical Islamic terrorists, individuals the Russian government warned the US authorities about. That these jihadist killers were loose in America after multiple warnings is a substantial failure of those charged in counter terrorism. Of course, President Obama does not recognize the United States is engaged in a war on terror with radical Islamic jihadist terrorists, has embraced Muslim interests and has reduced the capabilities of our counter terrorism efforts. These failures are partially responsible for the bloodshed in Boston.

An unsolved triple homicide, which occurred in Boston on September 11, 2011, resulted in the death of the supposed best friend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Reports suggest a bloody scene, and that Tsarnaev did not attend the funeral of his friend. Not often confused as Jim Rockford, I got this cold case just about closed.

Obama is pushing significant legislation on gun control and immigration, both of which, in the rear view mirror of Boston, should be soundly defeated. While our citizenry is becoming increasingly concerned about losing the right to defend themselves against a tyrannical government, Bostonians without firearms left control of their livelihood and property in the hands of law enforcement. We are big fans of law enforcement, but they did loose these guys a couple of different times, and a private citizen alerted the police about the eventual whereabouts of  Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Meanwhile, the lack of proper enforcement of current immigration laws has allowed jihadists of all shapes and sizes to enter this country without documentation. Our citizens are paying with bloodshed. We must have the ability to protect our livelihood and property from the terrorist roaming our streets, and both legislative initiatives should be soundly defeated.

Furthermore, the brothers had no credible source of employment, yet were reported to have expensive foreign automobiles. Tamerlan Tsarnaev flew to Russia, where he spent six months before returning, all the while his family was on welfare. Yep, in the interest of fairness at the hand of wealth transformation, the 47% were alarmingly helping to fund these, and God knows how many other, terrorists.

Although the administration hopes we figure all those responsible have been apprehended, the case does not wrap up with the brothers Tsarnaev. There is little doubt the brothers were part of a larger sleeper cell with others involved, and then there is the case of the Saudi national.

Caution America!
 
 
Is the Saudi a third terrorist who the authorities initially identified and have now discarded as a suspect?
 
A third terrorist originally fingered by law enforcement who then disappears from the radar of those charged with the investigation? My memory banks immediately deposited in my mind the events surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing. Yes, Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were no doubt the agents of terror on this day, but did they have help? The FBI originally thought so, the third terrorist. In her book "The Third Terrorist", Jayna Davis recounts the story and identifies who the third terrorist was. A compelling read to be sure.
 
There is quite a bit of information regarding the Saudi, who nobody in the mainstream media will mention, making the rounds many on non mainstream sites. Some are very credible, including The Blaze, Gateway Pundit and Brietbart, many are reporting what is out there and there are those who are reporting unreasonable and undocumented conspiracies.
 
CNN's John King was first to report that a "dark skinned male" individual had been arrested.  Fran Townsend of CNN also reported the arrest.  But did King, a veteran reporter who later back tracked history in embarrassment, really make such a significant error or was he purposefully hung out to dry by his sources?  Was he set up, or was King in fact originally correct?

The Saudi in question was initially identified as a suspect and placed under guard at his hospital room after supposedly having been injured at the bombings.  An "event" file was made on him, which The Blaze has record of, although Homeland Security Janet Napolitano condescendingly denied while being questioned by Congress.  A handful of Congressman, inclusive of Jeff Tucker, (R:SC), are asking questions.

Glenn Beck recaps where we are with respect to the Saudi national in the following report:



While the Obama administration and their mainstream media propaganda arm continues to distort the facts on the brothers Tsarnaev and lie to the American people regarding this prospective Saudi national terrorist, the truth seekers will continue uncover the facts.

There are seemingly dozens of question that need to be asked, about the Tsarnaev brothers, the connection to the radical Islamic jihadists and the potential for some extremely troubling answers regarding the Saudi national.  A handful of the inquiries are as follows:

* Who exactly is the Saudi national, described as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi?

*How did this hospitalized individual go from suspect to student (who never intended the school he came to America to attend)?

*Describe the area of discussion of the scheduled and of record walk by meetings President Obama had with the Saudi Foreign Minister?

*As Alharbi is known to have an "event" file, why was there efforts to hastily deport him?

*Reports indicate Alharbi had previously been a guest of some frequency at the White House, and an unsubstantiated series of reports that had Michelle Obama visiting Alharbi in the hospital.  While our First Lady did in fact visit victims in Boton area hospitals, it cannot be confirmed she visited Alharbi, although there are several reports, some with photos of the visit.

If Michelle Obama did in fact visit Alharbi in the hospital, we really must demand to know just what the hell is going on here?

The situation is fluid, and without being directly involved in any area of the investigations, it it difficult to separate the facts from the noise.  Given we do know the history of the Obama administration to distort the truth (unemployment number an example), we really are not sure what is going on, but it all seems troubling to say the least.

We do know the events surrounding this bombing are centered around radical Islamic jihad, and given the position the Obama administration takes regarding Islamic terrorists and its coziness with The Muslim Brotherhood, we likely have not seen the last of terror on our streets.

Furthermore, the difficulty in determining us and them, who is who and who is on what side is increasing.  While is gets sorted out, the answer lies in standing firmly in our divinely inspired founding first principles.

The Boston Hockey Stick

The wounds from the terrorist actions in Boston on Patriots Day Monday are fresh in our minds, and while we continue to send our thoughts and prayers to all those affected, attention has turned to finding those responsible for these atrocious actions.

After what can be categorized as a series of bumblings, inclusive of false and mixed information, the FBI released photos of persons of interest. Please see the following pictures:


While America is now focused on these individuals identified by the FBI as person of interest who are extremely dangerous, as usual, it is important to watch the other hand.  While we subscribe to a secondary path of activity regarding the bombings, these individuals identified likely are involved are should be treated as such.

Recall that earlier Wednesday, John King and Fran Townsend of CNN both reported an arrest had been made, a seemingly erroneous and reckless relay of false information.  Or was it?

As a guest analyst last evening along with Mark Fuhrman on Hannity, Steve Emerson of The Investigative Project informed us of the imminent deportation of a Saudi national who was in the general area of the Boston bombings when the occurred.  Please see the following:



On Thursday morning on his nationally syndicated radio program, Glenn Beck went into detail confirming the information Emerson broke on Hannity.  Given the significance of the finding and in the spirit of getting the information out to a wide audience, Beck and his team attempted to involve additional media outlets in an effort to further this most important development. Not surprisingly given the level of the mainstream media these days, they were unsuccessful.

Reuters broke the story that President Obama had an unscheduled "walk by" meeting with Saudi foreign minister yesterday, an unusual meeting to be sure.

Thankfully, Beck and his exemplary staff over at The Blaze, have continued their investigation only to be spooked by what has been uncovered.  Beck spoke about this troubling situation on his afternoon television show on The Blaze TV.  Please take a listen:



Obviously, some members of Congress wanted answers on this subject in meetings on the hill today, only to be scolded by Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.  She was awful uptight in not responding to information she deemed false and ridiculous.

While many may be aprehensive to embrace the story, perhaps due to the incorrect perception of credibility issues with Beck, it should be noted that Steve Emerson, who re-iterated his comments again tonight on Hannity, is perhaps the most credible source on terrorism out there.

We shall see as the information unfolds, but President Obama and Secretary Napolitano are the people I find untrustworthy. While America is being presented a crafted narrative by the administration and their mainstream media propaganda arm, Beck and Emerson are the people to be listening to as they uncover what the other hand is doing.

Don't buy the hockey stick!

Ross Reporting From Fantasyland

ABC News Investigative Reporter Brian Ross is living in Fantasyland. Or is he?

In a simply stunning example of media bias, Brian Ross has come under fire for an inexcusable misrepresentation of the facts in the aftermath of the tragic series of events in Aurora, Colorado.

Take a listen:



Ross tried to tie the suspect to the Tea Party, noting one of the 25 estimated residents with the same name had previously signed up for the Tea Party.  Ross has done some good work in the past, and prior to this, was highly thought of.

ABC quickly responded with an apology, which was insufficient and not accepted.  So egregious was this level of reporting, even the members of the left wing media are hammering ABC and Ross. In fact, as a shareholder of the Walt Disney Corporation, owners of ABC, I demand Ross be immediately terminated, with Stephanopoulos placed on probation.

Ross is as experienced as they come, so do not buy the we made an error commentary.  Ross spoke this knowingly and by throwing the Tea Party narrative into this story, plants a narrative that is difficult to rewind.  Where does the Tea Party go to get its reputation back?

This is not the first time, and the list is long as compiled by The Blaze, the media has slandered political opponents.

The major news networks, most notably ABC, CBS, NBC and certainly CNN actively misrepresent the facts efforting to fit within their conspired narrative; therefore, they cannot be considered credible.
If you must watch a network news program, FOX News channel stands alone.  Newspapers you should stick with are The Wall Street Journal and Investors Business Daily, if you want to read what is really going on.

Media Bias: Eyes Wide Open

As an avid investor, it is required viewing to catch The Kudlow Report hosted by former Reagan budget official Larry Kudlow. Last evening, Larry had a discussion with former Obama economic council Jared Bernstein, who has zero credibility, and Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former McCain economic advisor, covering the student vote prospects for President Obama.

President Obama's schedule had him at The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill to discuss student loans, whose interest rate is scheduled, due to a vote passed by the Democratic led Congress mind you, is set to increase this summer. Take listen to the exchange, and keep your eyes peeled on the video:




I remember, while listening to the Glenn Beck program some years back, a caller reported that CNN showed video which included him at a large anti-war protest that took place in downtown Atlanta. The caller was quite offended, not because he was on television, but because he, and the large crowd, were attendees at one of radio talk show host Neal Boortz's anti tax rallies. 

So, CNN wanted to make it look like there was a large group protesting the war, while the crowd was essentially a precursor to the Tea Party. Can you say media bias?

Kudlow is a Reagan man and a good conservative, and he does not control background video for CNBC. Perhaps, just rolling file video of Obama during a story is common practice? But, after several seconds of video of a small crowd (it was reported that a crowd of @9000 at Carmicheal Auditorium rather than the 22000 at the Dean Smith Center in 2008) during his visit to UNC, video of graduation from who knows when at Ohio State University, a much larger crowd with ceremonies held at The Horseshoe on the Allegheny, began rolling. Come again?

Was this an effort by those running the show at CNBC, which has been drifting hard left in recent years, to promote a larger crowd to the public for President Obama? What do you think?

What we do know is that the media is completely in tank for Obama, destroying any fiduciary responsibility they have in reporting the news without their hideous bias.

Take note and be advised.

Inches of Divine Intervention

In mid afternoon 30 years ago, ABC News broke into "One Life To Live" with the breaking news that there was an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Thank God, the attempt was unsuccessful.

Reagan spoke about the attempt with Larry King on CNN:



John Hinkley, Jr, the convicted would be assassin, has remained in custody since the shooting, but if you think he is paying a heavy price for his actions, you would be mistaken. Where is Sheriff Arpaio when you need him?

Behind The Mask

Obviously, the chaos in Egypt is most troubling. Certainly, no society should ruled by the likes of strongman Hosni Mubarak. But is this a grass roots uprising for peace and prosperity?

It is not, and unfortunately, I am having difficulty finding the white hat in all this. Mohamed ElBaradei, the former UN weapons inspector who failed to see any wrong doing by Iran and drove into Cairo in his Volvo late last week, is an odds on favorite to take a leadership role. The media just loves him, but as Investors Business Daily accurately points out, ElBaraei would be a disaster.

ElBaraei is a fan of the Muslim Brotherhood and by extension HAMAS, as is seemingly anyone who steps in front of a microphone to discuss the issue save Glenn Beck. Everyone involved, including reporters at CNN, think the days of the Muslim Brotherhood acting up are in the past. They are not.

In the coming days I will be expanding thoughts on this crisis, however everything you need to know about the Muslim Brotherhood and those tentacle organizations associated with it, including but not limited to the Muslim Student Association, can be seen in the following exchange between an MSA member and David Horowitz.



Israel and freedom world wide is at extreme risk. Don't look for the media to expose any of the players, as they are complicit in it. Therefore, it will soon be time to reveal the masks, and I wonder who we will find around the shores of the Potomac.

Mega Mosque Masquarade

The Mega Mosque at Ground Zero is becoming quite the media darling. The exponential increase in coverage of this controversy has me looking at what the other hand is doing.

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media has taken their marching orders and is firing pro mosque propaganda on all cylinders. Over at CNN, on Anderson Cooper 180, guest host John Roberts interviewed Pamela Geller and essentially fingered her as the architect of stirring up the controversy, not bothering to consider over 60% of Americans and over 70% on New Yorkers are against the mosque being constructed in the proposed location.

Now, the Associated Press has issued a directive to continue to avoid the phrase "ground zero mosque" or "mosque at ground zero" on all platforms. Maybe if the media instructs us uninformed rednecks that the site is not in view of Ground Zero, we will believe it. Let me be clear. As I have said in the past, the Ground Zero Mosque is quite appropriate a name for the Cordoba Project. Although, I do have a fondness for Hamosque, courtesy of Rush Limbaugh.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi (D:CA), called for an investigation of those against the mosque at Ground Zero. Awash in her own arrogance, Pelosi is nothing short of appalling. Debra Burlingame, of the 9/11 Families for a Strong America, discussed Pelosi on Fox & Friends this morning.



It would be hard to believe that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a progressive who cannot contain his excitement regarding the prospective mosque, has any meaningful support remaining given the job he has been doing.

Count America's Mayor, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, among those against Bloomberg and against the construction of the Ground Zero mosque.



I am beginning to think the whole mosque episode is an example of the Overton Window theory. Yep, the same theory Glenn Beck's best selling book, The Overton Window, is centered around. Instigate some discussion outside the main boundaries and then walk the discourse back, resting at a place and "moving the window" closer to the desired area of discussion.

I continue to applaud the efforts and leadership of the mainstream media's villain, Pamela Geller, and others including Debra Burlingame, in leading the opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque.

The terrorists are still trying to kill us. Make a decision. You are with us, or against us.

Dereliction of Duty

As the oil continues to gush from the collapse of the Deep Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, President Obama sits down with Matt Lauer of The Today Show to express his anger:



Obama indicates he is not talking to experts in some sort of college seminar, which is a major departure from how he has governed throughout, but looking to identify whose ass to kick. After BP CEO Tony Hayward, perhaps a mirror would be useful. Pamela Gellar of Atlas Shrugs agrees

The continued insistence that the administration has been on top of things is deceitful. Here on the blog I hammered Obama on this and among others, Investors Business Daily has followed up. From The New Zeal comes this video:



Unfortunately, while Obama is looking to kick someones ass, the environmental and economic fallout of this spill are almost immeasurable. What is needed immediately is leadership, as the implications of this going forward appear catastrophic.

A report from Texas A&M outlined by CNN Money tells a dire tale of the economic impact. The four biggest industries in the Gulf of Mexico are oil, tourism, fishing and shipping, and they account for some $234 billion in economic activity each year, according to a 2007 study done by regional scholars and published by Texas A&M University Press. In the Gulf, each of these industries have perhaps been dealt a fatal blow. We all might get hit if the oil travels around Florida and up the eastern seaboard. And what if the inlet to enter The Mighty Mississippi is compromised and shut down shipping?

When you think about it, this is beyond alarming and comes at a horrendous time economically, given this administration has escalated our nations debt to unsustainable levels. This kind of unforeseen disaster presents the kind of problem a prudent government would consider borrowing to assist, not pushing thorough a partisan health care bill 63% of Americans want repealed while tripling debt levels.

The world appears on fire, and the idiotic decisions being made by this administration on just about every front makes the case for a dereliction of duty by our elected leadership and leave this nation in great peril. When a disaster of the the magnitude of the Gulf Oil Spill is added to the mix, perhaps forecasting a double dip recession, this country is left quite vulnerable. Don't think for a moment we are not the only folks who recognize it.

Exposing The Truth

A few years back, on The Glenn Beck Radio Program, a gentlemen from Atlanta called in with what I found to be a disturbing story.

The gentlemen had attended over the previous weekend a fair fax rally held by Neil Boortz in the Olympic area of downtown Atlanta, which was attended by approximately 10,000 folks. Across the way was an anti-war rally, attended by an estimated 500 people.

News coverage of the anti war event by hometown CNN showed a rather large crowd, adding fuel to the anti war movement. Unfortunately, the crowd were the folks at the fair tax rally, including the caller. Oh my, the truth has been distorted, and who knew?

Video of events by the news media is not the only thing being altered to promote a particular agenda. Our children's textbooks are alarmingly at play, as the left works hard at rewriting of our American history. Yes, world history also.

Glenn Beck recently exposed how two members of the Obama administration, Anita Dunn and Ron Bloom, are fans of Chairman Mao. Young Hollywood types find Che Guevara a folk hero? These two are actually among the most evil politicals the world has seen.

Given that, how on earth could these folks think highly of these people. Perhaps that record has been changed or deleted? Maybe they are not familiar with the correct historical records.

After Friday, on The Glenn Beck Program on FOX News, they will be. Live Free or Die!
