Newspaper in Monterrey under extortion threat Posted: 03 Oct 2013 09:00 PM PDT Employees of El Norte news daily in Nuevo Leon state were threatened with "consequences" if the newspaper failed to pay MEX $3,000 a month in protection money, according to Mexican news accounts. A Thursday news article featured inAnimalPolitico.com said that a truck driven by a distributor carrying 800 copes of the newspaper was stopped Tuesday by armed suspects who apparently hit the driver, pointed weapons and left the message of the demand. El Norte, as with many newspapers in northeastern Mexico, are under near constant threat of harm from organized crime, crime including threats of harm if information is published to extortion, a crime which is the most pervasive in Mexico. Drug war news in Tamaulipas is at a premium due to threats from organized crime, especially in Nuevo Laredo, the home of Los Zetas drug cartel. According to the AnimalPolico.com article, El Norte offices was attacked three times last July, two of them on July 10th including attacks using hand grenades in their La Silla and Linda Vista offices in Monterrey  Almost three weeks later, the offices for the Sierra Madre edition was firebombed. Newspapers are not the only victims of organized crime. Offices of Televisa and other television stations have been attacked in the past in Monterrey as well as in Tamaulipas' border cities. The threat issued to El Norte specifically demanded payment of protection money to continue distributing newspapers in northern Monterrey.

POMPOUS ASS...

 

Yet another example of “CHANGE” that is needed to speak to 8 yr olds.

 

Ya gotta love it!

 

Just look at the paraphernalia this pompous ass carries into a school to speak to small children. 


He still needs a podium, teleprompters, lights, black boxes, and the secret service guy in back to be on the look-out for any terrorist type 8-year-olds with Tea Partying parents.



Here's what the last guy needed.

You remember...the 'dumb' one.

Interesting...Who voted for this IDIOT?

 

 

When we get 100,000,000, that's one hundred million willing Christians to BOND together, voice their concerns and vote, we can take back America with God's help, Become one of the One hundred million, then let's get 200 million. It can be done by sending this email to your friends. Do the math. It only takes a willing heart and a fed up soul. God Bless America and Shine your light on Her..

In 1892 The Supreme Court determined and declared the United States was indeed a Christian Nation In 1952 President Truman established one day a year as a "National Day of Prayer."  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1988 President Reagan designated the First Thursday in May of each year as the National Day of Prayer.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In June 2007 (then) Presidential  Candidate Barack Obama declared that the USA "Was no longer a  Christian nation."  ---------------------------------------------------------------  This year President Obama canceled the  21st annual National Day of Prayer ceremony at the White House under the ruse  Of "not wanting to offend anyone"  ------------------------------------------------------------------------  BUT... on September 25, 2009 from 4 AM until 7 PM, a National Day of Prayer FOR THE MUSLIM RELIGION was Held on Capitol Hill,  Beside the White House. There were over 50,000 Muslims in D.C. that day.  HE PRAYS WITH THE MUSLIMS!  I guess it Doesn't matter if "Christians" Are offended by this event -  We obviously Don 't count as "anyone" Anymore.  The direction this country is headed  should strike fear in the heart of every Christian, especially knowing that the  Muslim religion believes that if Christians cannot be converted, they should be annihilated.  This is not a Rumor - Go to the website  To confirm this info: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/capitolislam.asp .

So Stop All Your Complaining!

 

 

 

These 3graphicsmade merealize ObamaCareisn't so badafter all!

 

This is just one part of the rat maze that is Obamacare, and trust me, there’s no cheese at the end (I’ve looked).

As the Russians say, the only free cheese is in a government mousetrap.

 

By the way, can you see Obama in this chart? That is one glitch in the graphic. Obama and his cronies are

exempted from his own healthcare law. Besides, the president would probably be golfing.

 

So just what kind of rat maze does just one person need to run due to the “individual mandate”?

 

This comes via Ken Gardner:

 

 

 

If you’re wondering if this is a snarky take on Obamacare, it’s actually a snippet of the government’s official

explanation for how to get covered. As someone intelligently asked: “How can people ‘afford’ to pay a $5,000

deductible if they can’t afford to pay for health insurance in the first place?” Yahtzee.

 

And if that is just the process needed to get one person signed up, take a gander at the graphic below and

realize that the Department of Homeland Security and the IRS are involved in the Obamacaredatahub.

 

 

Sure it’s just about health, though. For the 900 pages of fine print on your new government “insurance”

plan, go here (bear in mind that just 6 pages of the ACA was turned into 429 pages of terms and conditions

under HHS.)

MICHAEL JACKSON -- AEG TRIAL: AEG NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MICHAEL JACKSONS DEATH! Posted: 02 Oct 2013 03:57 PM PDT It appears that a jury has determined that AEG hired Dr. Conrad Murray to minister to Michael Jackson and that Dr. Conrad Murray was a competent physician at the time of his hiring. It seems that justice has been served. The jury told the Jackson family and the world that AEG was not responsible for Jackson’s death. As for Dr. Conrad Murray, I can understand that he was pressured by Michael Jackson to administer drugs that apparently proved fatal to Jackson. That his lapse of attention in monitoring Jackson resulted in Jackson’s death appears to be the case. Why this verdict is just … Because AEG did not know that Dr. Conrad Murray was administering hospital-strength drugs without sufficient monitoring to Jackson on a nightly basis, they should not be held liable for Michael Jackson’s death. Bottom line … It appears that the greedy Jackson family tried an end-run to get their hands on big money – money that was not controlled by Jackson’s will. -- steve

We live in an unprecedented time of political corruption, self-dealing, and a malignant government that cant be trusted Posted: 02 Oct 2013 03:48 PM PDT Even in the midst of the Kabuki Theatre known as the government shutdown … masking the corruption and incompetence of both major political parties and their players … we find that we cannot simply trust President Obama and his cadre of fellow travelers – the socialist progressive democrats – who will do or say anything to push their political agenda. To the extent of weakening the safety and security of the United States and its citizens. And, if people are dying because of the mass confusion in healthcare, neither party seems that interested, having exempted the wealthy, politicians, and special interests from the provisions of Obamacare. So why am I not surprised – in this age of Benghazi, Fast and Furious, and the IRS scandals that the heads of government agencies are openly lying to or misleading Congress with impunity … NSA chief admits figures on terror plots foiled by snooping are misleading The Obama administration issued misleading figures about terrorist plots foiled by the National Security Agency’s warrantless mass-collection of records of Americans’ every phone call, NSA chief Gen. Keith Alexander admitted to lawmakers Wednesday. “There is no evidence that [bulk] phone records collection helped to thwart dozens or even several terrorist plots,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, told Gen. Alexander of the 54 cases that administration officials have cited as the fruit of the NSA’s controversial domestic snooping. “These weren’t all plots, and they weren’t all foiled,” he said. The Vermont Democrat asked the general to admit that only 13 of the 54 cases had any connection at all to the United States, “Would you agree with that, yes or no?” “Yes,” replied Gen. Alexander, who is both director of NSA and commander of the U.S. military’s Cyber Command. In response to a follow-up question, Mr. Alexander also acknowledged that only one or two of the cases cited by senior officials at previous hearings had actually been foiled by the NSA’s vast database. “The American people are getting left with an inaccurate impression of the effectiveness of NSA programs,” Mr. Leahy said. He added that details of the 54 cases, even those provided to lawmakers in special classified briefings, were “unconvincing.” “We get more from the newspapers than we do in the classified briefings that you give us,” he told Gen. Alexander. “And we get a crossword puzzle, too,” he added. Source: NSA chief admits figures on terror plots foiled by snooping are misleading - Washington Times And it does not apparently stop there … It appears that most of the so-called terrorist plots foiled by the nation’s premier law enforcement agency, the FBI, seems to have a single thread running through the narrative. It is that the FBI, using confidential informants and others, appears to have materially participated in most of the foiled plots – characterizing them as “stings” rather than “publicity stunts” which might be a more accurate description. The Agency seems to be on a severe decline since the Clinton/Janet Reno days involving Waco and Ruby Ridge; both involving the same FBI sniper, Lon Horichi – the proximate cause of the Murrah Federal Bureau Bombing by Timothy McVeigh and an unknown number of accomplices. FBI Agents Responsible for Majority of Terrorist Plots in the United States The Federal Bureau of Investigation has embarked on an unusual approach to ensure that the United States is secure from future terrorist attacks. The agency has developed a network of nearly 15,000 spies to infiltrate various communities in an attempt to uncover terrorist plots. However, these moles are actually assisting and encouraging people to commit crimes. Many informants receive cash rewards of up to $100,000 per case. Source: FBI-agents-responsible-for-majority-of-terrorist-plots-in-the-united-states/ Proof of Incompetence ... In spite of the billons of dollars spent in creating and managing the Department of Homeland Security to eliminate intelligence silos, share intelligence, and coordinate responses, it appears that even when given a credible threat notice by a foreign government, there was a massive government failure: a lack of follow-up and action by local, state, and federal authorities in regard to the Boston Marathon bombers.    Bottom line … It appears that we can no longer trust our elected officials or their appointees to fairly and honestly represent “We the People.” So, starting the the 2014 Congressional election cycle and continuing through the 2016 Presidential election cycle, people should educate themselves on the corruption of the two major political parties and be prepared to remove corrupt politicians from office. In almost every instance, it has been the progressive socialist democrats behind the most significant damage to the United States with their socialist agenda and failed domestic and foreign policies designed to weaken America and spread chaos throughout the land. The mere thought that the democrats would put up a corrupt, incompetent, and known socialist as Hillary Clinton as their nomination for the Presidency is enough to not only make me sick, but it is enough to demonstrate the clear and present danger that the neo-democrat party represents to America. -- steve Related articles NSA chief admits figures on terror plots foiled by snooping are misleading Acknowledges number of terror plots foiled by snooping misleading...

Medical Insurance, Trump Explains Dumbo Care...

No one can sum it up better than Trump  

 _______________________________________________________________

“Let me get this straight . . . . 
We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people,without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, who have recently demonstrated their objective and professional integrity - written by a committee whose chairman 
says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but
exempted themselves from it, and signed by a Dumbo President who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac, and the Post Office - all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 
 

What the hell could possibly go wrong?”
