McCain is Insane
McCain is Insane from Spike EP on Vimeo.
"Mr McCain fought in Vietnam. I think that he has enough blood of peaceful citizens on his hands. It must be impossible for him to live without these disgusting scenes anymore. Mr McCain was captured and they kept him not just in prison, but in a pit for several years, anyone would go nuts."
Response to John McCain's tweet "Dear Vlad, The Arab Spring is coming to a neighbourhood near you."

Sarah Palin and the Takers of the Neo-Confederacy
Program Highlights Include: The AIP's support for Tibetan secession, the AIP's support for the Lakota secessionist movement; the AIP's support for Hawaiian secession; the AIP's support for Chechen secession; the endorsement of Constitution Party Presidential candidate Michael Peroutka; by Aryan Nations head Richard Butler; Sarah Palin's origins in Sandpoint Idaho–an epicenter of the White Supremacist movement.
1. The secessionist party with which Sarah Palin is closely affiliated has a violently anti-American agenda.
"'My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand.'This was former revolutionary terrorist Bill Ayers back in his old Weather Underground days, right? Imagine what Sarah Palin is going to do with this incendiary quote as she tears into Barack Obama this week.Only one problem. The quote is from Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American who founded the Alaska Independence Party. Inconveniently for Palin, that's the very same secessionist party that her husband, Todd, belonged to for seven years and that she sent a shout-out to as Alaska governor earlier this year. ('Keep up the good work,' Palin told AIP members. 'And God bless you.')AIP chairwoman Lynette Clark told me recently that Sarah Palin is her kind of gal. 'She's Alaskan to the bone ... she sounds just like Joe Vogler.'So who are these America-haters that the Palins are pallin' around with? . . ."
2. Vogler has allied himself with Iran in order to generate international support for Alaskan secession. In that context, one should not lose sight of the networking between the Iranian regime and Nazi and fascist elements from the U.S. and Europe. By the same token, the networking between Islamists and fascists is a well documented phenomenon, manifesting itself in the 9/11 attacks, among other events.
" . . .Vogler wasn't just a blowhard either. He put his secessionist ideas into action, working to build AIP membership to 20,000 — an impressive figure by Alaska standards — and to elect party member Walter Hickel as governor in 1990.Vogler's greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States 'tyranny' before the entire world and to demand Alaska's freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran to sponsor his anti-American harangue.That's right ... Iran. The Islamic dictatorship. The taker of American hostages. The rogue nation that McCain and Palin have excoriated Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. That Iran. . . ."
3. Although the mainstream media have ignored or downplayed the connection, the AIP is very close to Sarah Palin and has helped to shape her political agenda. AIP luminary Mark Chryson has helped to forge the link between Palin and his party.
" . . . Though Chryson belongs to a fringe political party, one that advocates the secession of Alaska from the Union, and that organizes with other like-minded secessionist movements from Canada to the Deep South, he is not without peculiar influence in state politics, especially the rise of Sarah Palin. An obscure figure outside of Alaska, Chryson has been a political fixture in the hometown of the Republican vice-presidential nominee for over a decade. During the 1990s, when Chryson directed the AIP, he and another radical right-winger, Steve Stoll, played a quiet but pivotal role in electing Palin as mayor of Wasilla and shaping her political agenda afterward. Both Stoll and Chryson not only contributed to Palin's campaign financially, they played major behind-the-scenes roles in the Palin camp before, during and after her victory. . . ."
"Meet Sarah Palin's Radical Right-Wing Pals" by Max Blumenthal and David Niewert; Salon.com; 10/10/2008.
4. Chryson and the AIP network with White Supremacist and neo-Confederate organizations. The AIP's web site links to many of the site maintained by groups supported by the UNPO (as well as the UNPO's website), such as the Tibetan, Hawaiian, Lakota and Mongolian independence movements. Note that the UNPO–represented as a progressive, egalitarian organization–supports the rights of minority peoples in order to weaken and breakup larger states that might prove a rival to the Underground Reich. The possibility that an economically and politically devastated U.S. might disintegrate is one to seriously consider. Certainly, having a major-party Vice-Presidential candidate affiliated with an organization such as the AIP is very disturbing. Note that the AIP's website has a quote from Confederate President Jefferson Davis at the top of its front page. It is also significant that the Constitution Party, which counts the AIP as its Alaskan affiliate, ran Michael Peroutka for President. Peroutka is a member of the League of the South and his candidacy was endorsed by Richard Butler, the now-deceased head of the Aryan Nations.
" . . . Yet Chryson maintains that his party remains committed to full independence. "The Alaskan Independence Party has got links to almost every independence-minded movement in the world," Chryson exclaimed. "And Alaska is not the only place that's about separation. There's at least 30 different states that are talking about some type of separation from the United States."This has meant rubbing shoulders and forging alliances with outright white supremacists and far-right theocrats, particularly those who dominate the proceedings at such gatherings as the North American Secessionist conventions, which AIP delegates have attended in recent years. The AIP's affiliation with neo-Confederate organizations is motivated as much by ideological affinity as by organizational convenience. Indeed, Chryson makes no secret of his sympathy for the Lost Cause. 'Should the Confederate states have been allowed to separate and go their peaceful ways?' Chryson asked rhetorically. "Yes. The War of Northern Aggression, or the Civil War, or the War Between the States — however you want to refer to it — was not about slavery, it was about states' rights."Another far-right organization with whom the AIP has long been aligned is Howard Phillips' militia-minded Constitution Party. The AIP has been listed as the Constitution Party's state affiliate since the late 1990s, and it has endorsed the Constitution Party's presidential candidates (Michael Peroutka and Chuck Baldwin) in the past two elections.The Constitution Party boasts an openly theocratic platform that reads, "It is our goal to limit the federal government to its delegated, enumerated, Constitutional functions and to restore American jurisprudence to its original Biblical common-law foundations." In its 1990s incarnation as the U.S. Taxpayers Party, it was on the front lines in promoting the "militia" movement, and a significant portion of its membership comprises former and current militia members.At its 1992 convention, the AIP hosted both Phillips — the USTP's presidential candidate — and militia-movement leader Col. James 'Bo' Gritz, who was campaigning for president under the banner of the far-right Populist Party. According to Chryson, AIP regulars heavily supported Gritz, but the party deferred to Phillips' presence and issued no official endorsements. . . ."
5. In her speech at the Republican convention, Palin quoted Westbrook Pegler, a reactionary columnist viewed as a fascist by many, including George Seldes. (See below)
" . . . 'We grow good people in our small towns,' Palin said, quoting someone identified only as a writer, 'with honesty and sincerity and dignity.' That 'writer,' Wall Street Journal columnist Thomas Frank notes, is a man namedWestbrook Pegler. You have probably never heard of him, but he was a very popular and very right-wing columnist from the first half of the 20th century. How right-wing? He openly wished for the assassination of Franklin Roosevelt, for one. . . ."
5. Author George Seldes devoted a chapter of his 1943 opus Facts and Fascism to Pegler.
"It is the opinion of many persons and organizations that one of the most widely known and read newspaper columnists, Westbrook Pegler, is aiding the Axis rather than the United States in this war; it is a fact that the New York Newspaper Guild, the organization of thousands of Pegler's colleagues, so stated when it sent President Roosevelt a documentation of twelve instances out of Pegler's writings.It is a fact that newspapers, columnists, radio orators and others who form public opinion have served the Axis propaganda. It is also true that too frequently those who know and who make these charges do not name names. They, therefore, emasculate their own words.For example, here is the director of the U.S. Conciliation Service, Dr. John S. Steelman, who states:'Careless recital of the dramatic side of strikes in the press and on the screen and over the radio has given too many people the impression that our war efforts are being held up in a serious way because of willful strife in a major part of American industry. This is a dangerous lie that serves the purpose of the Axis, but serves no good end among us.' Dr. Steelman knows the culprits, but he is not in a position to name them. He is aware that Kaltenborn on the radio, Pegler in the newspapers, the entire Hearst and Howard press are those guilty of careless recitals about strikes.On the other hand here is the statement issued by the conference directors of C.I.O. editors (Washington, April 11, 1942):'Labor has been subjected to an infamous campaign of misrepresentation, for the purpose of cutting wages, destroying union organization, and in advancing the profits of special interest groups. Most of the daily press has joined in this campaign, together with such radio commentators as H.V. Kaltenborn and others of his type. This anti-labor propaganda campaign, if not directly inspired by Axis agents and American appeasers, at any rate plays their game by striking at national unity and undermining labor morale.'Again, the official organ of the National Maritime Union, The Pilot, states that 'Pegler's sales talk has the made-in-Berlin label.' . . ."
7. Whether relevant or not, it is interesting (and possibly significant) that Palin is a native of Sandpoint, Idaho, an epicenter of the white supremacist community.
8. It is also worth contemplating what the Nazi elements in the Bush administration will do with an African-American President.

MP3: 30-Minute Segment
The program begins with a statement by TV personality and martial artist Chuck Norris that comes very
close to a call for rebellion and/or secession by the state of Texas. Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (R-MN) also has been talking "revolution" in an interview with Sean Hannity. Her rationale for such action is her contention that Obama is taking us down the road to "economic Marxism." And this while Obama is being savaged as a "tool of Wall Street" by the left. Bachmann is also among those sponsoring an amendment to block something the Democrats haven't proposed-the use of foreign currency as legal tender in the United States! Norris and Bachmann have company.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has garnered attention for his suggestion that Texans might want to secede from the U.S.
Norris' musings about secession have been featured on the website of the Council of Conservative Citizens, an organization that bridges the gap between "acceptable" conservatives and overt fascist/white supremacist types."
Furthering exploring the Lone Star State's "farther shores of politics," 9/11 "truth" activist Alex Jones also has featured Norris' secession chatter on his website. Jones has also inveighed against a warning by a law-enforcement think tank that the current social conditions are lending impetus to dangerous right-wing paramilitary elements.
Concluding with Richard Poplawski (the alleged kill of three Pittsburgh police officers), the program notes his affiliation with white supremacist elements and his belief that America was controlled by "Jews." He, too, was a devotee of Alex Jones.
Program Highlights Include: The danger of lumping all "conspiracy theories" together–an ideological stance that plays into the hands of fascist elements; discussion of the Sovereign Citizens Movement, a populist/fascist ideology that has helped spawn the so-called tax protest milieu and that advocates Identity Christianity.
1. The program begins with a statement by TV personality and martial artist Chuck Norris that comes very close to a call for rebellion and/or secession by the state of Texas. Note that the Aryan-Nations affiliated Alaskan Independence Party holds similar views. Alaska Governor Sarah Palin fronts for this organization. Mr. Emory has voiced his fears about the breakup of the United States in previous programs covering various secessionist movements championed by the UNPO.
" . . . Anyone who has been around Texas for any length of time knows exactly what we'd do if the going got rough in America. Let there be no doubt about that. As Sam Houston once said, 'Texas has yet to learn submission to any oppression, come from what source it may.'Just last Friday, the Alamo celebrated its 173rd commemoration, when on March 6, 1836, Texans under Col. William B. Travis were overcome by the Mexican army after a two-week siege at the Alamo in San Antonio. But they didn't go down without a hell-of-a-fight, as those roughly 145 Texans fought to their dying breaths against more than 2,000 Mexican forces under Gen. Santa Anna. (Casualties in the battle were 189 Texans vs. about 1,600 Mexicans.) They lost that battle, but would provide the inspiration to win the war. Their fighting spirit rallied the new-found republic, and still does to this day. So when you think all is lost in America, remember the Alamo!For those losing hope, and others wanting to rekindle the patriotic fires of early America, I encourage you to joinFox News' Glenn Beck, me and millions of people across the country in the live telecast, 'We Surround Them,' on Friday afternoon (March 13 at 5 p.m. ET, 4 p.m. CT and 2 p.m. PST). Thousands of cell groups will be united around the country in solidarity over the concerns for our nation. You can host or attend a viewing party by going to Glenn's website. My wife Gena and I will be hosting one from our Texas ranch, in which we've invited many family members, friends and law enforcement to join us. It's our way of saying 'We're united, we're tired of the corruption, and we're not going to take it anymore!'Again, Sam Houston put it well when he gave the marching orders, 'We view ourselves on the eve of battle. We are nerved for the contest, and must conquer or perish. It is vain to look for present aid: None is at hand. We must now act or abandon all hope! Rally to the standard, and be no longer the scoff of mercenary tongues! Be men, be free men, that your children may bless their father's name.'"
2. Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (R-MN) also has been talking "revolution" in an interview with Sean Hannity. Her rationale for such a call is her contention that Obama is taking us down the road to "economic Marxism." And this while Obama is being savaged as a "tool of Wall Street" by the left.
" Wow. Just plain wow. This past Wednesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show, and sharply reiterated her calls for revolution in America, warning against the imminent dangers of tyranny under Barack Obama:'We are headed down the lane of economic Marxism,' said Bachmann. 'More quickly, Sean, than anyone could have possibly imagined. It's difficult for us to even keep up with it day to day.' . . ."
"Bachmann Blasts Obama's 'Economic Marxism,' Calls for 'Orderly Revolution' to Save Freedom" by Eric Kleefeld;talkingpointsmemo.com; 3/27/2009.
3. Bachmann is also among those sponsoring an amendment to block something the Democrats haven't proposed–the use of foreign currency as legal tender in the United States! (Note that this article was not in the original program.)
"Here's your daily dose of everyone's favorite Republican House member, Michele Bachmann from Minnesota.Bachmann has now picked up some new cosponsors in her efforts to amend the Constitution to forbid the use of a foreign/global money as the legal tender of the United States: Trent Franks (R-AZ), Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), and Kenny Marchant (R-TX). She now has a total of 34 cosponsors, in addition to herself as the primary sponsor.Of course, there is no such threat to replace the dollar as America's currency. Even if a global currency of some kind were adopted — and even that isn't in any way a sure thing — it would be for international exchanges and reserves, not for domestic use.Check out the full list of cosponsors, after the jump.Todd Akin (R-MO)Spencer Bachus (R-AL)Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)Judy Biggert (R-IL)Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)Paul Broun (R-GA)Henry Brown (R-SC)Dan Burton (R-IN)Michael Conaway (R-TX)John Culberson (R-TX)Mary Fallin (R-OK)John Fleming (R-LA)Virginia Foxx (R-NC)Trent Franks (R-AZ)Phil Gingrey (R-GA)Louie Gohmert (R-TX)Jeb Hensarling (R-TX)Peter Hoekstra (R-MI)Darrell Issa (R-CA)Walter Jones (R-NC)Steve King (R-IA)Mark Kirk (R-IL)Doug Lamborn (R-CO)Kenny Marchant (R-TX)Tom McClintock (R-CA)Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI)Ron Paul (R-TX)Joseph Pitts (R-PA)Bill Posey (R-FL)Tom Price (R-GA)David Roe (R-TN)John Shadegg (R-AZ)Glenn Thompson (R-PA)Zach Wamp (R-TN)"
"Bachmann Amendment Against non-Existent Plot to Replace Dollar Gaining Support" by Eric Kleefeld;talkingpointsmemo.com; 4/3/2009.
4. Another article not featured in the original broadcast highlights Texas Governor Rick Perry's suggestion that Texans might want to secede from the U.S.
"In a state that once was its own nation, a Republican governor who talked about secession without completely dismissing the idea has Democratic lawmakers in an uproar.Gov. Rick Perry, in comments following an anti-tax 'tea party' Wednesday, never did advocate Texas breaking away from the United States but suggested that Texans might at some point get so fed up they would want to leave the union. That was enough to feed opinions for and against secession on Web sites, cable TV and talk radio across the nation.At the Texas Capitol on Thursday, Rep. Jim Dunnam of Waco, joined by several fellow Texas House Democrats, said some people associate talk of secession with racial division and the Civil War and that Perry should disavow any notion of seceding.'Talk of secession is an attack on our country. It can be nothing else. It is the ultimate anti-American statement,' Dunnam said at a news conference.State Sen. Rodney Ellis, a Houston Democrat, said that by not rejecting the possibility of secession out of hand, Perry 'is taking a step down a very dangerous and divisive path encouraged by the fringe of Texas politics.'The Democrats are proposing a House resolution expressing 'complete and total disagreement with any fringe element advocating the 'secession' of Texas or any other state from our one and indivisible Union.'Perry emphasized Thursday that he is not advocating secession but understands why Americans may have those feelings because of frustration with Washington, D.C. He said it's fine to express the thought. He offered no apology and did not back away from his earlier comments. . . ."
"Democrats: Texas Governor Should Disavow Secession Talk" by Kelly Shannon [AP]; Yahoo News; 4/16/2009.
5. Norris' musings about secession have been featured on the website of the Council of Conservative Citizens, an organization that bridges the gap between "acceptable" conservatives and overt fascist/white supremacist types.
6. Chuck Norris showed up on 9/11 "Truther" Alex Jones's show to talk about his "I may run for President of Texas" statement.
7. On a related note, the show highlights another post of Alex Jones's PrisonPlanet.com. The residents of "Jonestown" are fretting about a newsletter issued by the "Missouri Information Analysis Center" (MIAC), which appears to be a law enforcement affiliated think tank. That organization issued a recent report on the growing threat of the militia movement that highlighted some of the movement's different strains, including the "Sovereign Citizen" movement. The last page features The Turner Diaries , along with two videos that are popular in right-wing conspiracy theory movements. The two videos are "America: Freedom to Facism" and "Zeitgeist: The Movie". They're both popular with the Alex Jones followers and so-called 9/11 "Truthers." Both are, in essence, fascist. Containing elements of truth, they are mixed in with disinformation and it all comes back, of course, to the Jews.
8. Next, the program highlights four members of the "Sovereign Movement" were arrested for money laundering and unlicensed machine gun possession in Las Vegas. The group is charged with laundering $1.3 million given to them by undercover FBI agents that they were told came from a bank fraud scheme. The Sovereign Movement is one of the anti-tax groups that claims the federal government has no authority over them and wants to overthrow it. It's apparently tied to the white supremacist Christian Identity wing of the militia movement. One of the articles about the arrest listed the ages for three of the members and they weren't just a bunch of clueless angry youths (ages 46, 54, and 67). One of the guys, Shawn Rice, describes himself as a rabbi dedicated to anti-government teachings. Another one of the members, Jan Lindsey, is a retired FBI agent. Lindsay and another member, Harold Call, are both leaders of something called the Nevada Lawmen Group for Public Awareness, which is affiliated with the Sovereign Movement. NOTE: the Sovereign Citizens Movement and other right/populist/fascist groups ultimately are working to undermine the republic itself.
9. The program concludes with a look at the slayer of three Pittsburgh policemen. Richard Poplawski was a devotee of populist/fascist conspiracy theories and an affiliate of the white supremacist Stormfront website. In this context, it is important to grasp that, although this type of ideology can be extremely destructive, the Southern Poverty Law Center critic who lumped Poplawski's Nazified views in with all "conspiracy theories" unwittingly plays into the hands of the fascists.
When all "conspiracy theories" are lumped together, it demeans serious research and the fact that President Kennedy was killed as the result of a high-level conspiracy is lumped in with "International Jewish Banker" conspiracies. The average citizen can be left in a relativistic political universe, saying, in effect; "Well, if Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill President Kennedy, maybe the Holocaust didn't happen either." CORRECTION: Mr. Emory identified Stormfront director Don Black as the inventor of the "leaderless resistance" strategy. It was actually Louis Beam. Both are white supremacists and former lieutenants of former Klan leader David Duke.
" . . . 'He was really into politics and really into the First and Second amendment. One thing he feared was he feared the gun ban because he thought that was going to take away peoples' right to defend themselves. He never spoke of going out to murder or to kill,' said Edward Perkovic, who described himself as Mr. Poplawski's lifelong best friend.Mr. Poplawski's view of guns and personal freedom took a turn toward the fringes of American politics. With Mr. Perkovic, he appeared to share a belief that the government was controlled from unseen forces, that troops were being shipped home from the Mideast to police the citizenry here, and that Jews secretly ran the country.'We recently discovered that 30 states had declared sovereignty,' said Mr. Perkovic, who lives in Lawrenceville. 'One of his concerns was why were these major events in America not being reported to the public.'Believing most media were covering up important events, Mr. Poplawski turned to a far-right conspiracy Web site run by Alex Jones, a self-described documentarian with roots going back to the extremist militia movement of the early 1990s.Around the same time, he joined Florida-based Stormfront, which has long been a clearinghouse Web site for far-right groups. He posted photographs of his tattoo, an eagle spread across his chest.'I was considering gettin' life runes on the outside of my calfs,' he wrote. Life runes are a common symbol among white supremacists, notably followers of The National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group linked to an array of violent organizations.'For some time now there has been a pretty good connection between being sucked into this conspiracy world and propagating violence,' said Heidi Beirich, director of research at the Southern Poverty Law Center and an expert on political extremists. She called Mr. Poplawski's act, 'a classic example of what happens when you start buying all this conspiracy stuff.' . . ."

Wednesday, December 28, 2011Texas Rep. Ron Paul ® received an unwanted endorsement on Tuesday when Don Black, the founder of the white nationalist group Stormfront, told The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur that he supported Paul's presidential candidacy.Paul has recently been plagued by racist, hate-filled newsletters that were published under his name. The newsletters were published about 20 years ago and contained a number of incendiary comments about African-Americans, gays and Israel. All of the newsletters featured his name, but Paul has said he did not edit or write the controversial language, and disavowed it."He's clearly not a white nationalist, he does not have the same worldview we do," Black told Cenk. "But we agree with his stand on the issues, which we believe are heartfelt, coincide with ours. I might prefer that he understand the racial issues that we deal with a little more than he does.""We believe that white people in this country and all European countries, Australia, Canada are facing a form of genocide through assimilation."

Many of the party's current presidential hopefuls have engaged in this kind of inflammatory rhetoric. In 2009, Michele Bachman enthusiastically endorsed a fundraiser with Maria Anne Hirschmann, who has compared Obama's policies to those that brought about the rise of the Third Reich. In 2010, Newt Gingrich described Democrats as a "secular-socialist machine" that posed as much of a "threat" to American democracy as the Nazis posed in Germany. He later backed down from the claim, but there it was, part and parcel of the GOP's paranoia machine. Just yesterday, Rick Santorum defended a statement he made in December in an address to the Republican Jewish Coalition Candidates Forum. He'd alleged that Obama's foreign policy amounted to World War II-style Nazi "appeasement."Nazi paranoia has reached epic proportions among influential members of the GOP over the past few years. So, you'd think they'd be quick shut down actual Nazi sympathizing when it emerges within their ranks. But they're doing quite the opposite. Rather than speaking out about Ron Paul's extremism, they've mostly been criticizing him as a "moderate" because he's against imperialistic war policies.Not one Republican candidate has mentioned this photograph, circulated via social media by an #occupy protest group last week:(continued at link) STEVEN L. JANUARY 7, 2012 8:44 PM@R. Wilson: The one thing that scares me about Ron Paul, more than anything else, is the fact that he may choose Chuck Baldwin as his V.P. as he did in '08.....on the other hand, Paul is likely to run as an Indie may very well split the GOP vote. If that happens, the Establishment would be likely to go into full freakout mode, I suspect, and then the real propaganda would start showing up. You ain't seen nothing yet, I don't think. R. WILSON JULY 14, 2012 8:52 PMhttp://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/07/14/iowa-republican-says-government-illegitimate-declares-herself-u-s-senator/Iowa Republican declares herself Senator, announces that current government is illegitimateAn Iowa woman who was running for a state Senate seat has dropped that bid after deciding the U.S. government is a sham, and has instead unilaterally declared herself a U.S. Senator from the Republic of Iowa in an alternative government, the Republic for the United States of America.As Jason Noble of the Des Moines Register first reported, the candidate, Randi Shannon, had been running for the state's 34th Senate district. However, she recently came to believe that the real U.S. government was replaced with an illegal one after the Civil War so, rather than continue her state-level pursuit, she dropped that bid and named herself a Senator of the what she thinks is the true government.In a letter fittingly posted to her campaign's Facebook page on July 4, Shannon wrote that the country was founded as the Republic for The United States for America in 1787, and that it remained as such until the 1860s, when it was abandoned during the Civil War. Once the war ended, she wrote, the government was replaced by the, "UNITED STATES CORPORATION," [sic] which has endured to this day as the nation's farcical governing body.In a statement riddled with curious capitalization meant to emphasize the government's foibles, Shannon derides the federal government for, she claims, stomping out entrepreneurship, infringing on personal liberties, and just generally being an unconstitutional entity. Perhaps worst, she says, are the elected lawmakers who have perpetuated this system and in doing so have, "committed the most egregious acts against 'We the People.'""Therefore, in order to affect the most good on behalf of The People of Iowa's 34th District and in keeping with my conscience, I have accepted the position of U.S. Senator in The Republic of The United States of America, where I may better serve You and All of The People of Iowa," Shannon wrote. "I want you to know I have taken an Oath to Uphold, Support and Defend The Constitution of The United States of America. This I will do to the best of my ability, So Help Me God."Shannon, who describes herself as a Ron Paul supporter, backs many of the same policy positions famously espoused by the Libertarian-leaning Texas congressman. She advocates eliminating the Department of Education (following its transfer to the Republic of the United States) and drastically cutting taxes while ending foreign occupations and stopping the Affordable Care Act. And, since she believes the government has been a false one for a century and a half, she considers all amendments to the Bill of Rights from the 14th on to be invalid."Again, Remember, where the de jure Republic of The United States of America exists the de facto UNITED STATES CORPORATION, having no standing, must go away!," Shannon wrote.

Klayman: 'Rebellion' Necessary to Stop 'Obama's Mission to Enslave the Nation'
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/11/2013 10:45 amIn whatever world Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman inhabits, President Obama has "unleashed black helicopters in our major cities to intimidate people and set up committees to determine who in its estimation is a 'subversive' and may have to be eliminated."Klayman, once again calling for armed rebellion, writes in WorldNetDaily that President Obama is trying to crush an "imminent rebellion by the informed masses" against his "mission to enslave the nation in his brand of Marxist ideology" by "removing the people's Second Amendment right to bear arms."He dubs Obama a "modern-day disciple" of King George III and laments that he won re-election by "pitting the poor and middle class against the so-called rich, black against white, Latino against Anglo, gay against straight, and Muslim against Jew and Christian." He concludes that if "all non-violent means" to depose Obama are exhausted, conservatives must follow the example of the Founding Fathers and stage an armed revolt.The First Despot, King George III, raped the rich colonies with high taxes, ignored their grievances, subverted their legal system and as a final stroke seized and destroyed the colonists' caches of guns and other means of self-defense when it became apparent that the citizens could stand no more tyranny from the Crown. Even worse, 236 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, triggering the first American Revolution, the modern-day disciple of the king, demagogue President Barack Hussein Obama, has onerously raised taxes, engaged in class warfare, pitting the poor and middle class against the so-called rich, black against white, Latino against Anglo, gay against straight, and Muslim against Jew and Christian, in order to win re-election.To insure that Obama's mission to enslave the nation in his brand of Marxist ideology succeeds in the face of imminent rebellion by the informed masses, his government has armed itself to the teeth, unleashed black helicopters in our major cities to intimate the people and set up committees to determine who in its estimation is a "subversive" and may have to be eliminated with drone and other strikes on American citizens on U.S. soil. [See "Obama prepares to kill 2nd American Revolution"]. And, last but not least, to this end, Obama has also issued executive actions as the first step to removing the people's Second Amendment right to bear arms to defend themselves against "his" government and its evil designs.With the exception of a few, like Sen. Rand Paul, no one in the Republican opposition has the will or guts to oppose Obama's dictatorial quest to remove our freedoms and civil liberties and potentially assassinate those American citizens who resist his and the rest of the government establishment's claim of total "sovereignty" over us.We the People, initially using all non-violent means, must ourselves rise up! But if in the end it means following the lead of our First Founding Father, Patrick Henry, we reserve our God-given rights to defend ourselves and to restore liberty to our shores.As in colonial times leading to the birth of a free country, we will never surrender! Instead, must be prepared to use all legally righteous means to restore the country to greatness!Give us liberty or give us death! God did not forsake our Founding Fathers, and He will not forsake us!

The ultimate Travel tips guide for first time visitors to Menorca Spain. For a holiday that is truly like the google images, filter free edits and full of hot dog hashtags, then Menorca, Spain is the place for you. (The toned down version of Ibiza party scene and more family orientated, surrounded with turquoise seas). When it comes to blue water, which is more crystal clear than your contact lenses, then you've come to the right place. The scenery is breath taking. Living in palm tree paradise, whilst drinking the ice cold white wine had me on cloud 9 and 3/4. For those booking the holiday flights, making sure the accommodation is practical for the ideal location is next on your list. You've probably checked all the travel websites, reviews and comparison deals. Like myself I did a lot of research before picking the right location for the family, staying at the Prinsotel Sa Caleta, two minutes from the beach. Convenient for the family, self catering buffets and swimming pools, left, right and centre, I can gladly recommend these Apartments. It was 7 minutes on the bus (which looks like a coach) to the nearest town centre, Ciutadella; one of the Island's main historic towns. Cala is "beach" in Spanish, the small cliff hove has created the man made beach; becoming a local hot spot with 3 great restaurants and bars. You are sure to spend more time snorkelling for fishes, sun bathing and drinking cocktails as your 9am till sunset office duties. (I went to Spain for 6 days, I recon a good 4 days will keep you satisfied) The transportation is very organised and there shouldn't be much language barrier.
CIUTADELLA DE MENORCA: West of Menorca which is 1 hour away from the Airport: The historic town is filled with classic Architecture, churches and endless European alleyways. Filled with the atmospheric nightlife of the sound of the Spanish locals, night markets and the occasional Friday morning market in the town square. Of course, there are many restaurants by the Port, designer shops and very good bus services. One thing I noticed, is that you are never short of Gelato Ice-cream on every corner.
MAHON: the main capital of Menorca is only 15 minutes from the Airport, East of the Island. Explore the brother towns of the Balearic Island, located in the mediterranean Sea of Menorca, Spain. That's if you want to leave the beautiful beaches to wake up in reality and be surrounded by tourists. I found it is bigger, spacious and more modernised with the western cultural influences. Surrounded with cliff sea views, peach palette buildings and palm trees, exploring the cobbled paths will lead you to more unseen treasures that google maps doesn't mention.
NIKE ROSHE TRAINERS Available at Mainline Menswear
Recreate the Titanic moment and set sail like Popeye the sailor man. I'd highly recommend booking in advance, just to save the foolishness I had to go through. Luckily I had a plan B to spend by day by the beaches tanning like a roast chicken. It's an all day trip, where you will sight see various of instagrammable monuments, and pit stop in the most beautiful beaches. Lining up in single file for lunch is just the extra side you'll have to deal with, seafood paella and sangria is probably on all boat's menu. I took the Menorca Jumbo Blava, which set sail from Port de Ciutadella and costs about £30 per person. Don't forget to pack light and of course you're beach essentials. Life wouldn't be complete without snorkelling with the fishes, taking selfies in the sea and eating watermelon from the fruit barrel man.
10 Things to checklist whilst in Menorca Spain:
Visit both towns Mahon & Ciutadella
Go To Aqua Water Park
Experience the Day/Night Markets
Horse back riding
Take a day's boat tour to different beaches
Eat Traditional Spanish Food & drink Sangria endlessly.
Go snorkelling with the fishes & use a go pro if you have one!
Jump off the cliff like there is no tomorrow
Watch the sunset and cherish the moment
Sun tan until it show's you've been on holiday and not to the local tanning shop.

Ryan's birthday party is coming up (how is it possible my baby is turning one already?!?) and I am planning his birthday party to be out in the backyard, but we don't have much seating out there. We have talked about building some benches out on our patio extension, but just haven't done it. I finally told Justin that we have no excuses, we have an open weekend and I need the space for Ryan's party. So we got to measuring our space and decided on a good size for the benches. I had seen something on pinterest (http://pin.it/REOzyrx) about using cinderblocks to build benches, and they are fairly cheap and durable, so we thought we would give it a try.
After some calculations (I love math!) we figured out just how many bricks we would need, and got them ordered for delivery. We have two layers of cinderblock, with a layer on top of the finished pieces that matched the cinderblock, and wood on top of those for the bench tops since it would be more comfortable than sitting on the cement pieces.
We used some liquid nail (of course) to go between all the bricks, and just used their own weight to help hold them down. Then did the same for the top pieces as well. Then it was time to cut the wooden boards that we purchased for the top parts. We did 45 degree angles at the corners so it would look nicer, and also used the liquid nail to glue those down on the top.
Once all that was dry and on pretty good, we used a belt sander (I am pretty sure that's what it's called) to sand the edges of the benches so there aren't any splinters, and also used a router to do the edges in a rounded shape. Again, trying to make them as comfortable as we could without having actual cushions or anything like that on them.
Most of these later photos are through the window because when I keep saying we, I really mean Justin and his dad. I was inside on "kid duty" most of the time during this project. I just made all the executive and design decisions from inside.
Here are our final project photos:
Next up, a picnic table to replace the glass table we currently have so that everything matches!

A Sinking Sensation
Growing older might gift us with knowledge and wisdom, but while we might benefit from time's experience, we may also feel that's robbing us of our youthful vitality! Over the years, the elastic quality of skin is lost, leaving a saggy look, and frowning, as much as laughing and smiling, can take its toll. Simultaneously, skin can become thinner, and thus lose its soft pliance. The rich and famous might be able to assert some control over the vagaries of ageing, but the rest of us, who may well be unprepared for the surgeon's touch, have to face up to them. How incredible would it be to be able to gently nourish our skin, to quickly give the feeling of a lifted, tighter expression?
Instant Facelift by Skin Doctors
If there's one company that takes deep pride in innovation regarding skincare, it's Skin Doctors - and this attitude was most certainly taken in the creation of Instant Facelift. With three absolutely remarkable active factors, they aspire to combine in perfect unity to aid you in boosting your appearance. Furthermore, the way in which you administer the cream is designed to stimulate skin and thereby reinvigorate it, with a circular massaging action. If you worry about losing the tight, bouncy, young look you love, Skin Doctors Instant Facelift could be ideal for your needs!
This ingenious ingredient is a powerful combination of hydrolysed biopolymers, produced naturally by certain plants, plus Acacia gum. It has been said to give a natural, speedy appearance of enhanced tightness, giving the look of toned, raised skin.
Hydroviton® 24
A leading twenty-four hour hydrating complex, it's composed of a cooperative combination of natural moisturising components. Aiming to maintain skin's essential air access, with anti-occlusive attributes, it's designed to work with a light, near invisible touch.
Taken from extracts of sesame seed, Sesaflash™ is especially regarded for combining well in innumerable differing formulas, particularly ones that seek to refresh while addressing skin sag and visible fatigue. It also has incredible hydrating traits.
Complete Ingredients
Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Stearic Acid, Acacia Senegal (Acacia) Gum, Glycol Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Acrylates Copolymer, Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil), Polysorbate-60, Triethanolamine, Glyceryl Stearate, Hydrolysed Rhizobian Gum, Dimethicone, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetyl Alcohol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Carbomer, Parfum (Fragrance), Phenoxyethanol, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Lactate, Lactic Acid, Serine, Urea, Sorbitol, Sodium Chloride, Allantoin, Stearamide AMP, Disodium EDTA, VP/Polycarbamyl Polyglycol Ester, Hydrolysed Sesame Protein PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben, Butylparaben, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Citral.
Using the Cream
Skin Doctors' Instant Facelift was ideally created to perfectly slot into your skincare regime with ease and pleasure. After cleansing, dispense a small amount of the highly powerful cream onto your fingers, then gently massage into your face, with a circular action that averts the eye region. Leave to soak in for a few minutes, until your face is touchably softened and mattified. Your skin will then be perfectly primed for any makeup application to follow.
The entire Skin Doctors range aspires to be pleasantly satisfying to make use of. With that in mind, please consider some sensible steps. As with any new product, you should always take the time to carefully read through the entire ingredients list before first applying for potential personal allergens, and also conduct a patch test twenty-four hours prior. This product should not be used near to your eyes, nor should it be applied to skin that is inflamed, sunburnt or broken.

Hip Replacement / Resurfacing Surgery
Hip replacement surgery is a surgical procedure to replace a diseased hip joint with a prosthetic (artificial) device. This procedure is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic surgeries, particularly among older adults.
Total hip replacement surgery is used to treat hip joints deteriorated by arthritis and aging, damaged by injury or weight problems resulting in immobility and severe pain. Hip replacement surgery replaces the damaged joint, and replaces it with a prosthetic device to help restore stability, function, and pain free movement.
The decision of which type of prosthesic is based more on medical aspects and comorbidities, and age characteristics of patients.
– Cemented
– Cementless
– Hybrid (a combination of cemented and cementless components)
A surgical alternative to hip replacement surgery is hip resurfacing surgery.

Protect my Work.com is the only safe and trusted way that I choose to protect my work by copyright including lyrics and songs.

Home Furnishings Retailer
HVAC Maintenance Program VARIOUS LOCATIONS, NATIONWIDE
The client's objective in this case was to increase the life expectancy of existing, aging Lennox rooftop equipment, and to reduce overall energy consumption.
We developed a program that brought our client's aging Lennox HVAC equipment up to optimum operating efficiency, reducing the amount of energy required to run the units on a daily basis.
Through EMCOR Facilities Services' (EFS) efforts, the client realized approximately $92,000 in energy savings, across 100 locations in California, with over $500,000 available in utility rebate incentives.
Our scope of work involved replacing and upgrading internal components of the client's Lennox units. Using third-party technology, we compared energy consumption before and after the equipment was replaced or upgraded. Subsequently, we were able to provide detailed reporting of energy and cost savings to the client.
Furthermore, we identified additional savings for the client by partnering with utility companies, as well as a third-party provider, to take advantage of available incentive rebate programs.
Our client operates a chain of over 1,100 retail stores, offering a wide assortment of domestic merchandise and home furnishings, which include food, giftware, and health and beauty care items. This client operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Canada.

Deceptive little device, the Nonda Zus. Plug it into your car's cigarette lighter socket and it provides you with two usefully illuminated USB sockets ready to power and charge your smart devices. It rapid-charges, and rather cleverly, the USB sockets are reversible, so you can make them convenient for your preferred devices' easiest orientation.
And from what you can see of the physical device — small, sculptured and illuminated nicely as it is — you might think that was it. But no. No, no, no.
Mileage reports
Because look, it has an app. Indeed the full name of the Zus (on the box) is "Connected Car App Suite & Dual USB Car Charger". You pair it with your smart device, and this adds a raft of additional abilities, chief among them that the Zus will track its position and keep a log of all your journeys. These can be accessed on the app, but also sent to you as weekly (pictured right) and monthly reports (opposite) in an email. Using the app you get a little map of each journey showing distance, time driven and the potential claim you could make to the nice people at the tax office. Mark each journey as either personal or business, and then when your monthly email arrives, there's your charge summary all ready to hand to the accountant, who will LOVE you for it.
It's important to allow the Zus access to your phone's location services all the time, i.e. in the background, otherwise it can only log if you have the app open, which you won't. But this didn't seem to cause any significant drain on our phone life, and the results speak for themselves (see screenshots). We never once interacted with the Zus in daily driving life — it just sat there and logged. And because we didn't put the app on the missus's phone, it only logged our journeys, not hers. (You can have multiple accounts and phones linked to the one Zus, including a 'Family Share' function which will allow you to see where another connected user has parked — handy for picking up the wayward car-borrowing kids, even, er, spying on them. Though we didn't try this.)
We should note that we did have trouble pairing initially. Your phone must have Bluetooth and internet and GPS activated, which we did, but we were in a basement without phone coverage — so actually no internet nor GPS available. The pairing is described as Bluetooth, so we hadn't expected an issue, but as soon as we tried in the open air, the Zus paired immediately, and was off and running.
Lost your car?
Since it remembers where you've parked, this allows you to find your car should you, er, forget where it was. For us, well, we don't lose our car very often, being creatures of habit, and as yet of sound mind. But should you park in side streets around a disorientatingly ovoid sports stadium, or if you're still in that time of life where you wake up in a stranger's bed not sure where you are, or indeed if you've reached that time of life where you're forgetting where you are as a matter of course, then we could see how handy this might be. Just remember, of course, that multistorey car parking positions may be hampered by a lack of GPS information at the moment of parkage. It is possible to 'pin' your location manually using the app, and even add a picture as you leave.
Park alarm
On a meter? Set a timer. You don't strictly need the Zus app for this — any timer app would do, but what other app can lead you back to the car as well?
Car battery monitor
Well why not, it's plugged into your car battery, so it can keep an eye on its voltage fluctuations and cycles. You can check it via the app, but if it thinks you're up for a problem, the cloud will email you. Freaky, but handy.
So for our money, and not much of it really, we reckon the mileage logs are the handiest of the bonuses over the simple USB charging abilities of the Nonda Zus, while the battery health warning might just save you getting stuck in the garage one morning waiting on the NRMA, and the family sharing might even stop your kids losing your car. Not bad for $69 — and Nonda is now rolling out a whole suite of smart devices... more on the rest next issue.
Connected Car App Suite & Dual USB Car Charger
Cost: $69
+ Inexpensive, fit-and-forget USB charger
+ App sends you mileage reports by email
+ App sends you mileage reports by email
- Not a lot to say against this baby...
Type: Twin USB charger with benefits
Features: Fast-charge two devices;
track mileage and app-connects to send
you summaries; find your vehicle; battery health check; Family Share function

A Market in Nairobi
Ohumay, Sibie Matley
MetadataShow full item record
This is an exploration of the circle through the lens of the African vernacular. The geometric circle is inherently rule based and requires only objective, geometric manipulation. The archetypal circle is subjective, an interpretation based on given characteristics of roundness. The archetypal circle is where abstraction and exploration occur. The plan of traditional African vernacular architecture is a circle, and as such, was the starting point. Rational manipulations of the geometric circle made the building. The mandala studies were subjective manipulations of the archetypal circle made to explore and develop the architecture. This became a Market in Nairobi.

A Web Of Scheme
2010-11-26 12:39 +0000
I'd like to start this blog with the documentation of my attempt to revive a website that I started in 2003 or so. It was a small community-like site with a focus on literature. People could sign up, publish their poems and stories as well as comment on those of others. Thinking about it now, it was pretty Web 2.0 for its time. Or maybe it's just an example of how vague that term is defined. Anyhow, back then not knowing any better I wrote it in PHP and in a true PHP manner used MySQL as the data storage. It got fairly popular but a few years later (I think in 2006) I shut it down because I didn't want to maintain PHP code anymore. If you are wondering why: The reason is not that PHP didn't offer full Java'esque OO support, yet (or did it?). You may want to check out this informative site to get an idea.
Off The Rails
In early 2008 I started a rewrite based on Ruby on Rails but I never finished it. Since then I have grown rather tired of Ruby, particularly Rails.
I was a (relatively) early Rails adopter (starting with version 1.0-something) and quite enthusiastic about the things it offered. Through Ruby I learned a lot about simplicity, clarity and elegance. It was also the first time for me to encounter concepts of functional programming. The whole experience was an overall eye-opener, really.
However, the longer I worked with Ruby, the more I learned about its problems and dusty corners. These are easy to ignore for a while but after I got bitten a few times too often (this might be up for a post of its own in the future), I started looking for alternatives. I wanted something conceptually clean, flexible and beautiful, something that would bring back the wonder and enthusiasm I felt when coming from PHP, Java and C# to Ruby. I started playing with Io, learned about Smalltalk, and dived into JavaScript for a while. The more I worked with those and similar languages, the more it occured to me that they all claimed or were alleged to borrow core ideas from Lisp. That got me interested: What was it about Lisp that inspired all these interesting languages? Why not find it out myself?
Open Parenthesis
The Lisp world is a different world. Compared to other programming languages it is ancient and may be the oldest one that is still in use and development today. You can witness that legacy in many aspects: There are things in the language itself which are historical coincidences that turned into traditions over time (like the representation of lists as so called cons cells, the names car and cdr etc.). There is an academic community that has produced and is still producing papers about every detail of Lisp that you can imagine. There are dozens of dialects and hundreds of implementations. It has a vital and engaged community of hackers around the globe who work with and on Lisp every day -- even if you leave out the Elisp guys. But it largely remains terra incognita to the broad public which only has a vague idea that Ruby and Python somehow took some strange ideas of Lisp, removed the parentheses and turned them into a Serious Language™. One obvious reason for that is the Lisp community's general disregard of marketing measures whatsoever. Just take a look at some implementations' websites and you'll know what I mean. This may very well be a result of Lisp's roots in academia. I have a feeling that this is going to change in the near future with the advent of Clojure and its (albeit marginal) mainstream exposure. If Java people know a thing about something, it's marketing.
The situation is improving though. Barski's recently released Land of Lisp takes up the spirit of Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby¹, Seibel's Practical Common Lisp attracts many newcomers and classics like Abelson's and Sussman's Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs are still (or again?) regarded as must-reads, even by this guy.
Into The Coop
After spending a bit of time with Common Lisp, I quickly realized that Scheme is actually closer to what I was looking for. I fiddled with Gambit for a moment because I was interested in (the probably dead by now) Minno project but quickly got deterred by Gambit's lack of library infrastructure. With regard to availability of libraries, Racket (back then still called PLT Scheme) would have been the obvious choice but somehow it didn't click with me. I finally settled for Chicken Scheme since it seemed to offer lots of existing libraries, was under active development and, probably most importantly, had a friendly and smart community which I am very glad to be a member of today. If you'd like to get an idea of it, check out the weekly Chicken Gazette or drop by in #chicken on Freenode IRC.
I have been using Chicken as my day-to-day utility language, my calculator and my environment for experiments for about a year now. This has been a very smooth and enjoyable ride so far but fully replacing Ruby also means replacing Rails. I felt I needed a few more things before I could actually write a web application in Chicken though. Don't get me wrong, it has many excellent web development related eggs (that is, of course, what Chicken extensions are called) already: There is the great webserver Spiffy built on the HTTP library intarweb, there is SXML, and excellent bindings for both PostgreSQL and SQLite. I wasn't really aiming for a web framework like Awful (which is cool in its own right). I wanted some components I could combine flexibly to build web applications in a way I feel comfortable with while avoiding to lock myself too much to one specific pattern.
For example, I like the RESTful resource centered approach Rails introduced in 2.0 but it didn't really follow through. This made it painful when your application didn't exactly fit the Rails Way. Unfortunately, this has not substantially improved even in version 3.0, although other things certainly have (I might cover this in more detail in another future post). So I wanted something similar but better for Chicken. However, before rushing into an API that does a few things good but isn't easily bent for special purposes (most Clojure web components give this impression) I started with a very basic URI matching and dispatching library. I hope to be able to layer a higher-level API on top of that without losing the full flexibility of the lower layer. This is something most Scheme libraries do really well. Maybe it's a result of the language's deeply ingrained Higher Order Function programming style.
Long story short: Now that I have invested some effort in creating a few web development libraries for Chicken, I will try to re-build the site once again. It is my plan to turn that process into a series of articles displaying what problems I encounter, what ideas I consider and what things work well. One of my aims is to show that lispy languages lend themselves very well for real-world applications. I'd also like to demonstrate how Chicken with its numerous eggs is a good candidate implementation for such efforts. Be my guests!

- Ironically, Why The Lucky Stiff and Zed Shaw are two of the persons I regarded as the most inspiring and shining representatives of the Ruby community -- meanwhile, both of them have left that ship.
