The Scriptorium

We’ve all seen how many people get arrested at your typical left wing protest, especially during the height of the BDS saturated Bush years. However, on 9/12, when nearly two million conservative leaning Americans gathered in Washington D.C. to protest President Obama, there wasn’t a single arrest. Not one.

So, what does Speaker of the House Pelosi conclude from the civility and human decency displayed at “right wing” protests? At a press conference today, she broke down in tears and warned all of us of the inevitable right wing violence that is just around the corner. Through tears, she recalled the 1970′s protests in San Fransisco that lead to the murder of several state senators, comparing it to the angry voices of today’s anti-Obama “teabaggers”. Can I just say that Nancy Pelosi is an irrational moron. She does, however, have the Alinsky tactic of smearing your opponent and accusing them of being dangerous down pat. I guess she forgot about the property damage, intimidation, and threats that her liberal friends subjected Californians to after the vote on Proposition 8. Just like we’re seeing at the Tea Parties all over the country, right? No?

While many of the far left nutjobs will eat this up and spread it far and wide, I find it hard to believe that the average American is going to buy into the belief that their neighbors and friends are really dangerous terrorists who are going to plunge the United States into chaos. I wouldn’t be surprised, though, if Homeland Security isn’t stepping up their internet surveillance and data mining operations with every idiotic statement like this.

I think I’ve figured out what “civil debate” really means when the Democrats suggest we return to it. It means, shut up unless you agree with the President, and if you criticize any of his policies you’re either a rabid racist, or a home grown terrorist. So much for the First Amendment.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw … I saw this myself in the late ’70s in San Francisco,” Pelosi said, choking up and with tears forming in her eyes. “This kind of rhetoric is just, is really frightening and it created a climate in which we, violence took place and … I wish that we would all, again, curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made.”

I see. So anyone who disagrees with her must stop being so enthusiastic about their beliefs and join the rest of the sheeple. Keep talking Pelosi. You’ll be the minority leader after 2010.

On the 70th anniversary of Russia’s WWII invasion of Poland, and on the same day a “secret” UN report announces that Iran can now make a nuclear bomb, our Community Organizer in Chief 86′d the Missile Defense system program for Eastern Europe and came up with a new naval based plan that is much more pleasing to the Russians. The Russians are ecstatic that Obama has once again demonstrated U.S. weakness and Obama’s complete ignorance of how to handle international threats. Even some Democrats were amazed that Obama tossed away our only leverage with Russia, which SHOULD have been used to demand that Russia cease and desist all of the military hardware sales and support they are giving Iran to aid them in their pursuit of nuclear weapons. I guess Obama thought giving Russia what it demanded would endear them to us, and they’d suddenly cooperate and tell their ally Iran to take a hike. His naivete is stunning.

Poland is predictably (for those with common sense) angry and offended by this decision. So much so that the Prime Minister of Poland is refusing to take Hillary Clinton’s call. Not only has this weakened us in the eyes of Russia, and angered the only allies who actually supported us with troops during the Iraq war, but it has damaged our credibility. We are now in a position where our promise of protection in return for assisting us militarily means nothing. This means that when Iran gets nuclear weapons, countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia will laugh in our faces when we ask them to rely on us for protection rather than develop their own nuclear arsenals to counter the Iranian threat. Way to create a nuclear arms race in the Middle East Obama. Lord help us if we can’t reign this loose canon in in 2010.

Analysis: Demise of U.S. shield may embolden Russia hawks

Russian diplomacy is largely a zero-sum game and relies on projecting hard power to force gains, as in last year’s war with Georgia over the rebel regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia or the gas dispute with Ukraine at the start of this year.

Western concepts of “win-win” deals and Obama’s drive for 21st century global partnerships are not part of its vocabulary.

Diplomats here say Moscow hardliners could read the shield backdown as a sign of Washington’s weakness. Far from doing the bidding of the United States, they may instead press for further gains to shore up Russian power in the former Soviet bloc.

Ukraine, Georgia and other Kremlin foes in the ex-Soviet Union may be the first to feel the consequences.

Poland and the Czech Republic are also nervous. In Warsaw, the timing of the U.S. move is particularly delicate as it coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland.

Analysts are particularly concerned about Ukraine, which faces a presidential election next January. Most of Russia’s vast gas exports flow through its territory and the country reluctantly hosts a large Russian naval base.

Russia has already rebuked Kiev for its “anti-Russian” stance and refused to deal with President Viktor Yushchenko, tactics which recall those used with Georgia in the period leading up to last year’s war.

Diplomats cite the Crimean peninsula — Russian territory until the 1950s and home to Moscow’s Black Sea fleet as well as thousands of Russian passport-holders — as one potential flashpoint.

In a sign of the level of concern, one senior Western envoy here privately estimated the chances of a Russian military intervention in the Crimea over the next year at 50-50.

Georgia could be another tinder box.

Change we can destroy the world and really heat up the Middle East with.

The Tea Party protest in Washington D.C. today went beyond a huge success! It’s possibly the largest protest to ever rock the Capitol. Naturally, the MSM did it’s best to under report the events and then under estimate the number of protesters. When Democrats protest the numbers get grossly inflated, but when somewhere between several hundred thousand and a million or more protesters converge on Washington, the Press calls it “tens of thousands of people”. WHAT? More like tens of hundreds of thousands. Let us not be discouraged by the Lame Stream Media though. Obama got to fly over the “mob” of “astroturfers” he’s been whining about in every speech lately in Marine One, as he escaped to his own puny rally, and he got to see how huge the opposition to his socialism and over spending is.

Congress better be paying attention. The protest in D.C. was just one of 200 protests that took place around the country, all with equally gratifying turnout. Can you hear us now, Congress? I’m betting they did when the throngs of “Bible totin, clingin to their guns and religion” protesters shouted those words together at the conclusion of todays march on Washington. If they heard that thunderous roar from the streets, they would be wise to pay attention and remember who they work for.

We are indeed headed straight for the End Times folks. With a communist holding the office of President for the United States, the rest of the Marxists are feeling emboldened. The fulfillment of Bible prophecy will likely start moving faster now. No matter what the U.N. does, everyone knows the dollar is on it’s way out, and with it will go the America we didn’t fight hard enough to keep. With China dumping dollars, Russia and Iran working toward moving the sale of oil to a new currency, and Obama printing money as fast as he can, we’ll be using dollar bills as toilet paper soon. They’re creating just the crisis they need to create their economic regions, and then their global government.

The dollar should be replaced with a global currency, the United Nations has said, proposing the biggest overhaul of the world’s monetary system since the Second World War.

In a radical report, the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has said the system of currencies and capital rules which binds the world economy is not working properly, and was largely responsible for the financial and economic crises.

It added that the present system, under which the dollar acts as the world’s reserve currency , should be subject to a wholesale reconsideration.

Although a number of countries, including China and Russia, have suggested replacing the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, the UNCTAD report is the first time a major multinational institution has posited such a suggestion.

In essence, the report calls for a new Bretton Woods-style system of managed international exchange rates, meaning central banks would be forced to intervene and either support or push down their currencies depending on how the rest of the world economy is behaving.

Newsbusters makes a very good point. The New York Times didn’t run any stories on the scandals surrounding Van Jones until after he had been forced to resign. That tells you how woefully uninformed you will be if you depend on the New York Times for your news. That also explains why so many liberals love the New York Times. Facts and information are their enemy. When forced to defend their politics, their only argument, if you can call it that, comes from the emotional rants and the hate filled, Obama loving, anti-American garbage NYT reporters consistently produce.

Van Jones, Obama environmental adviser and “green jobs” czar, resigned late Saturday night, the culmination of days of controversy (ignored by the mainstream media) after the Gateway Pundit blog dug up evidence of Van Jones being a “Truther.” He signed a 911Truth.org petition in 2004 questioning whether the Bush administration “may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen.” And the New York Times does its first story on the matter — the day after Van Jones resigned his administration post.

Last month, the New York Times jumped on the conservative fringe of “Birthers” who question Obama’s Hawaiian birthplace and thus his presidential eligibility, deriding the conspiracy theory as false and demanding prominent Republicans denounce the idea. Yet the Times maintained strict silence on the Van Jones controversy as it bubbled away for several days in the photosphere, with only the Washington Times and Fox News Channel willing to treat as a news story the fact that an influential member of the Obama administration thinks the government may have let 9-11 happen — a far more incendiary charge than the question of Obama’s birthplace.

With the exception of the growing number of good blogs out there, along with talk radio, and Glenn Beck, investigative reporting is dead in America. Never, ever get your news from one source, and investigate everything for yourself.

“Green Jobs” Czar Van Jones resigned yesterday, but I’m sure it wasn’t without pressure from Obama. There is no defense for Van Jones blatant racism and admitted Marxist beliefs, and the administration knew it. A big thank you should go out to Glenn Beck and the bloggers, who were the only ones with the guts to speak up and call a spade a spade. None of the main stream media covered any of the scandal surrounding Van Jones, and they are now predictably trumpeting Van Jone’s whiny claim that he was the victim of lies and smears from a vast Right Wing conspiracy. It’s more than a little ridiculous for Van Jones or the Administration to blame Fox News and the Right wingers when his own words, both written and in video inerviews and speeches, were the only thing used against him.

This is good news, but it’s even more encouraging to me that it seems to have lit a fire under some Republicans, and they are beginning to speak up about these unaccountable and unconstitutional Czars that make up Obama’s shadow government. It’s about time someone is paying attention to this communist tactic. Now let’s get to work getting rid of the rest of the Marxist Czars who running the show at the White House.

The White House environmental adviser under fire for inflammatory statements made before he joined the administration resigned after what he called a “vicious smear campaign against me.”

Van Jones “understood that he was going to get in the way” of President Barack Obama’s agenda, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday.

The resignation was disclosed without advance notice by the White House in a dead-of-the-night e-mail on a holiday weekend. It came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.

Obama has to be hating this!!

I thought this comment was particularly interesting. Obama should heed this advice.

The Honduras march was led by Roberto Micheletti, who became president when Chavez ally Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a June coup.

“Any politician who tries to stay in power by hitching up with a dictator like Hugo Chavez, he won’t achieve it,” Micheletti said. “We’ll stop him.”

Obama’s first attempt at ramming through socialized medicine legislation has thus far been an abysmal failure. Obama does everything by first creating a crisis, and then using that crisis to scare people into supporting or voting for an enormous amount of debt and risk that they would normally never support (think stimulus bill). What Obama really needs right now is a new crisis.

Of Course Rahm and the rest of his lackeys are trying to put the best face possible on this epic FAIL, but they know they need a miracle to get the job done. Who better than “the Messiah” and his knack for following Allinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” to the letter, to come up with just the scenario that will make desperate people agree to desperate, potentially deadly, and outrageously expensive things. Don’t think for a second that this crisis, this crisis, or this crisis are not good news to the Rats in the White House.

President Barack Obama returns to Washington next week in search of one thing that can revive his health-care overhaul: a sense of crisis.

Facing polls showing a drop in his approval, diminished support from independents, factions within his Democratic Party and a united Republican opposition, Obama must recapture the sense of urgency that led to passage of the economic rescue package in February, analysts said.

“At the moment, except for the people without insurance, we’re not in a health-care crisis,” said Stephen Wayne, a professor of government at Georgetown University in Washington. “You do need a crisis to generate movement in Congress and to help build a consensus.”

Obama speaks to labor leaders on Sept. 7 and to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 9 as he attempts to rebuild support for his top domestic priority, one that affects 17 percent of the economy. Lawmakers, trying to extend coverage to millions of uninsured Americans and rein in costs, are considering mandates on employers to provide coverage, new rules for insurers, and creating a government program to compete with private insurers such as Indianapolis-based WellPoint Inc.

Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said the administration made unprecedented health-care progress in eight months.

Yeah, right. And, now they will need a generated crisis (aka more failed Obama policy damage) to get the support they need. Say, a crisis like….

US families turn to food stamps as wages drop

JOBLESS RATE HITS 9.7%…

Teen rate at 25.5%; Highest level since records kept…

UNEMPLOYMENT HITS 26-YEAR HIGH

And of course Swine Flu

The third ranking Republican in the Senate is calling for Van Jones to either resign or be fired. I’m actually starting to hope Obama keeps him in there. He truly is the gift that keeps on giving…..

9/11 Truther Van Jones Was Arianna Huffington’s Political Director

Arianna Huffington’s liberal gossip site the Huffington Post has been vigorously defending green jobs czar and 9/11 “truther” Van Jones.

It turns out that Jones was Huffington’s grassroots political director when she ran for governor in the 2003 recall election. In fact, Jones, a self-described “communist,” thought Huffington was so wonderful he was part of the effort to draft her to run for office.

Canada Free Press

A 2004 petition recently surfaced accusing the Bush White House of being behind the 9/11 attacks on the United States, and one of the signatures on that petition was none other than Obama’s Green Czar Van Jones. When presented with this evidence of Van Jone’s support for the 9/11 truther movement, he claimed his signature appeared on the petition because he didn’t read the petition carefully enough to know what he was signing. Uh-hu. I’m sure politicians sign petitions all the time without reading them.

Even if we allow Van Jones his lame excuse, it seems he has other ties to the truther movement, and yet another example of Van Jones radical anti-American views that will be a little harder to dismiss.

On Friday a 2002 document emerged in which Jones was on the “organizing committee” of a newspaper called WAR TIMES — “A New, Biweekly, Tabloid Newspaper Opposing the ‘War on Terrorism.’”

The WAR TIMES document asserts that the “world’s most powerful nation has mercilessly bombed Afghanistan and is installing a neo-colonial government of its own choosing, although that country has never attacked the U.S. Millions of Afghans have been displaced and face starvation this winter. The administration has also green-lighted massive Israeli assaults on Palestine, and it threatens to attack Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia, and other countries. The agenda seems clear: to remake the world in the rightwing image with little regard for human consequences.”

WAR TIMES’s announcement appeared with the announcement of a protest march demanding a congressional inquiry into whether and how much the Bush administration may have played a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

So, what’s Van Jone’s excuse this time?

But a source close to Jones said that “Jones didn’t participate in and wasn’t part of this march at all. He spent a very brief time on the board of the magazine War Times.” The source says no other connections to the Truther movement other than the petition exist.

He seems not to even see the problem with being associated with this anti-American rag, especially as a member of the organizing committee. He expects us to believe he helped organize events and War Times announcements, but didn’t actually believe in what he was supporting and organizing? Lies, lies, and more lies.

UPDATEFurther proof of Van Jones connection to the “truther” movement.

If you’ve been watching Glenn Beck, then you have probably already heard much of the truly scary history behind Obama’s shadow government – the unaccountable, unelected Czars that create policy and have direct access to the President. Beck has done an excellent job of exposing their Communist beliefs and radical, anti-American backgrounds, but one man can hardly keep up with what seems like an endless stream of horror stories, especially in the case of Obama’s “Green Czar” Van Jones.

An interview has now surfaced that records Van Jones slamming the United States and Israel, and vowing his support in a “global struggle” against both countries. So, we have a Czar in the White House who is responsible for creating environmental policy and “green jobs”, whatever that is, who has publicly stated he’s an enemy of the very country he’s now pretending to serve. I’m not really surprised, mind you. Our Communist in Chief stated plainly in his campaign speeches before the election that he planned to totally transform this country into something new. What too many people didn’t know was that his plan has always been to destroy this country, and rebuild it in the image of the communist Russia, China, and Hitler’s Germany. If that sounds over the top, you haven’t been reading about the steps Obama has already been taking toward indoctrinating our children, creating his own version of the Hitler Youth Corp, and his admitted dream of creating a civilian security force larger than our existing military.

Wake up America before there is nothing left to fight for.

Van Jones, Barack Obama’s Green Jobs Czar, produced a record album entitled “WarTimes: Reports from the Opposition” a few years ago that was narrated by convicted cop killer Mumia Abu Jamal and featured a clip of an interview Jones did where he slammed the United States and Israel and proclaimed his stand with a “global struggle” against the United States.

Jones used his Ella Baker Center for Human Rights to found Freedom Fighter Music, the label WarTimes appeared on. WarTimes is also the name of an anti-war-on-al-Qaeda propaganda newspaper Jones helped organize.

The album was unearthed by the website Verum Serum, which posted a YouTube video with highlights of the album.

About three minutes forty-five seconds in to the highlight video, there is a brief interview with Van Jones at an anti-Israel demonstration where Jones criticizes Israel and calls for Palestinian ‘right of return’ then unloads on the United States:

“We see violence against poor people and poor people of color within the U.S. border, at the U.S. border, and beyond the U.S. border and you see U.S. tax dollars funding all of it. And so we have this now global struggle against the U.S. led security apparatus and military agenda that impacts people here and impacts people around the world and I think that we need to see our problems as linked.”

Mumia closes out the album by describing it as a “small tease of the truth about U.S. imperialism’s war on the world.”

The time frame of the album is hard to gauge, but Verum Serum writes that Freedom Fighter Music existed from around 2002-2003 to 2005-2006 and produced maybe two or three albums. The album appears to be from late 2002 or early 2003.

Jones mentioned the label in an interview with USA Today’s USA Weekend magazine published February 9, 2003 that Verum Serum found:

[I understand you have] developed a record label, Freedom Fighter Music.

Jones: Yes, we’ve had one for a little more than a year. Our second CD is coming out this year.

Verum Serum gave a link to an MP3 file of the entire album at Indymedia.
