Panetta, Inside and Outside the Puzzle Palace

Posted on by

The twenty-third Secretary of the Defense is Leon Panetta coming from a long career in politics and continues to play that game in this current role. Panetta had ‘slim to none experience’ when it came to his lead role at the Central Intelligence Agency, so little in fact that Senator Dianne Feinstein was in full opposition to his confirmation hearing.
As an Italian-American, Panetta finished his formal education as a lawyer and practiced law for six years before he formally entered politics as a Republican, but later moved to the other side in 1971 while still in California. As his rise gained traction, Leon became a member of Congress where he fought against drilling for oil off the California coast as well as disarming American military power. He was also the Director of the Office for Civil Rights under Nixon, the Director of Office of Management and Budget and also moved to the White House as Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff, but in his military service he was an Army 2nd LT. in military intelligence. His political tenure also included being Chairman of the House Committee of the Budget, Chairman of the Agriculture Committee and a Chairman for the Task Force on domestic hunger.
Married to Sylvia, they both founded the Leon and Sylvia Panetta Institute for Public Policy and Leon also stayed busy as an advocate for the Health of the World’s Oceans as commissioner for the Pew Ocean Commission. We now begin to see a pattern of legislation connections.

Still maintaining a full calendar, Panetta was the co-chair for Corporate Accountability and Listing Standards Commission for the New York Stock Exchange including being a Board member of the NYSE. So how is it that Bernie Madoff and Jon Corzine were able to extort billions of dollars and stay above the radar of the SEC and the NYSE? To round out some of his extra activities, Panetta was on the national board of review that investigates Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandals.
Sound all pretty good so far however, read on for the turn to the darker side. Two stellar gentlemen have authored some great research on segments of Leon Panetta’s friendship and their names are Trevor Loudon and Cliff Kincaid. This summary is not meant to rob their good work or plagiarize but rather to expand their reach and add to their discoveries. Loudon and Kincaid both provided tangible and factual evidence of Panetta’s associations with friends connected to the Communist Party that include Hugh DeLacy and Lucy Haessler. There are in fact formal tributes made to them in the Congressional record as introduced by Panetta in 1983 and 1984. (Newspaper article here for Congressional Record)

DeLacy had deep ties to Soviet spies while Lucy was a member of a Soviet front organization Women’s International Democratic Federation and the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom. The State Department at the time cited that the WILPF was a Soviet front operation that Panetta supported. These groups went on to also defend the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan while strongly opposing the United States intermediate range ballistic missile installations in Western Europe. Lucy’s husband, Carl, worked at the Detroit United Auto Workers Union in the mid 60’s and was a member of the Socialist Party USA.
When Panetta ran for Congress in 1976, 2 Socialists devoted to his success worked on his campaign, Don Lane and John Laird. Laird was a member of the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee. As a Congressman, Panetta had a voting record that was in complete opposition to Reagan and tendered votes that required continued foreign aid to the Sandinistas and for ceding the control for the Panama Canal among others that demonstrated his deep conviction to reduce and neutralized the United States world power status by reducing arms and nuclear weapons. Panetta introduced HR 2760 which included language to stop all resistance to communism in Nicaragua.
Panetta went on to collaborate with the Institute for Policy Studies  as did his wife Sylvia, who is still there, that among other things provided support for the Chilean Marxist and Cuban agent Orlando Letelier. The IPS is today still a subversive front for globalist think tankers that includes such trustees as Harry Belafonte and Jodie Evans of Code Pink fame. The IPS also has on its Associate Fellows roster, Ajamu Baraka who sits on the Board of the Center for Constitutional Rights  as well as another activist that works for the causes of ACORN.
Turning another page of his activities list, Panetta is involved with many outside organizations that include being a director of Bread for the World Institute, California Forward and the Close Up Foundation. The mission of the Bread for the World Institute  is to change up the domestic farm policy within government legislation for the benefit of third world countries and to the financial exploitation of American farmers. It should be noted that farm subsidies and child labor farm chore bills have been argued in recent weeks that are both to the detriment of our country’s farming industry. Secretary Panetta is also on the Advisory Board for Fleishman Hillard Inc. which is an international firm that is a public relations enterprise that handles scandal control and crisis communications. Part of their customer list includes unions, the Social Security Administration, banking, elections, lobby firms and big Pharma. Fleishman Hillard is also a political action committee fund-raiser for key candidates and legislative issues where in summary, generous checks accompany language for special interest groups on hundreds of ‘K ‘ streets. Panetta is just one of many high level access conduits for passing up the pipeline political talking points for the administration as actionable government mandates and lobby groups.
Panetta flies home just about every weekend to California where such trips have cost the taxpayers more than $800,000, while he has been only somewhat generous by reimbursing the Treasury $17,000. During these flights Panetta is reviewing government contracts, paying for $400 a gallon fuel due to closed supply routes to Afghanistan, retraining forces on the DADT mandate, closing military operations in 50 states and reassigning 9000 Marines from Okinawa to other AO’s and perhaps on the return flights he is transferring more agenda items from the IPC to K Street and through Congressional office doors. We are within an inch of war anywhere across the globe says Panetta  so it would be prudent to clear his calendar of communist and socialist collaborations and stick to the protection of American interests at home and worldwide.

I am Woman, my Life is My Choice

It is with indisputable clarity that minions of the Obama administration are expanding the battlefield in America, which is a Cloward Piven strategy. Just this week did Hilary Rosen take up an assault on Ann Romney, diminishing her value and worth as a woman, a mother and a wife simply over the fact that Ann Romney does not have a job which earns a paycheck. It was a scud missile hit to not only Ann but to all non-paychecking females since they dont contribute to commerce, no, rather capitalism, which is most hypocritical of the whole battleground. Ann and Mitt Romney raised several successful sons, Ann battled cancer herself and suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.
Perhaps in Hilary Rosen’s busy schedule as a corporate capitalist she forgets that it is the wife and the mother that hires re-modeling contractors, the babysitters, the repairs to the home, that volunteers and is subject to spending based on household income. It is the female that multitasks with laundry, assisting in school work and teachers and car-pools. It is the mother who buys the greeting cards and gifts and does the wrapping to boot. It is the lady of the household that cleans, cooks and shops. Hilary Rosen bought into the liberal battle vortex of the Obama administration which is lead by Valerie Jarrett, who received Rosen more than 30 times for White House visits. What is more curious is Valerie Jarrett, Iranian born, is not only the Senior Advisor and confidant to Barack and Michelle, a long, long time friend, but she was a slumlord in Chicago, so much so the property was lost and condemned. Jarrett is a socialist and most of all she is the Obama Czar for Office of Urban Affairs and the White House Council on Women and Girls detailed in Executive Order # 13506.
As for Hilary Rosen, she found her arrogance and self inflicted worth by rubbing shoulders with self proclaimed movers and shakers. Hilary is the Editor-at-Large for the Huffington Post, she is the co-founder of Rock the Vote, the Chairman and CEO of Recording Industry of America. She has been paid well as especially so by British Petroleum as the hired consultant to lead the PR and communications after the disastrous Gulf Spill. One of Hilary’s martini buddies is Anita Dunn of ‘two of my favorite people are Mother Teresa and Mao Tse Tung’ fame. Anita Dunn was another Czar under Obama and left for other pursuits as did her husband, who was the long time legal council for Barack Obama before his assumption of the White House and for the next two years. The largest objective of Anita’s husband, Robert Bauer, lawyer was to stone-wall all the requests and demands for Obama’s personal history, like his college transcripts and what passport was used to travel to Pakistan.
Every person out there today had/has a mom and with that, the best defense is a good offense against Rosen and her like-minded friends, those being Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Anita Dunn. The Obama administration pays women 18% less than men within like payscales. Jay Carney, the White House Press Voice touts that Barack Obama is the only president that has taken positive measures to prove a female’s worth and value by passing the Lily Ledbetter Law, yet the paychecks for women under his regime reveal otherwise.
This attack on women is an additional war the White House and its crony operatives have waged in three years, they defined it, they launched it and they are owning this failure like some many that have been executed.  In the end, Hilary Rosen, the White House, Anita Dunn and Valerie Jarrett are duds in the war, much like the failed North Korea missile launch, failed between the launch and phase 1.

Whats it All About…..Algae?

Posted on by

It is staggering to hear citizens say that Newt is un-electable when he is a man that is truly reaching out to Americans with logic and a personal touch. It was too gratifying about 2 hours ago, when I got an email from Newt’s campaign asking me to join a conference call to talk about oil.

Say what you will about capitalism, but it is part of the greatest ‘experiment’ objective of the founding of America, that cannot be denied. America has great people that are insightful, creative and inspiring and yes that includes those before us like Vanderbilt and Rockefeller of Standard oil, add in Ford with his Edsel and Model T, engineers and chemists. Newt knows his history and the rest of us need to take notice that since the release of Microsoft Office software, nothing BIG in America has been developed of which we can be proud unless you add Apple. The sad notion is that Steve Jobs while innovative, his products were made where? China.

Newt just recently said, ” I dont care who you are, I care about who you want to be.” That phrase needs to go far and wide, as we have a squatter in chief in the Oval Office that has never spoken to the fire in our collective bellies that has been kidnapped since obama took over the White House.

Oil is a pivot point in our economic engine and yes, wars are fought over this resource, but that is due to crappy foreign policy. How many know that even Richard Nixon spoke to getting off of foreign oil that has made the Saudis so rich, they actually paid the expenses of the United States military in the first Gulf War? Obama does not care that billions/trillions of our currency goes offshore to pay OPEC nations including that little sick creep in Venezuela, money that never comes back into our system for the sake of our domestic economic engine.

Newt deserves a major high five, as here is a man that is reaching out personally and daily to re-kindle that slow burning ember in our bellies of America. He earnestly desires to make America great, with our own resources, our own citizens, our own money, our own skills, and our own imaginations. Who can dispute that?

Romney was a business man using other people’s money including that of governement and today Mittens is using big bucks to tell people vote for him with only platitudes for his platform. Yup, people are too lazy, apathetic and stupid to research and hear Romney’s words to know the difference. Newt gives tangible names, conditions and solid mission objectives and sadly it is over the head of voters to keep up. C’mon America…….you’re virtually admitting your individual ignorance. VOTE NEWT, not algae.

Inspiring America with Newt

Posted on by

A series of debates, town halls and media events have led us to a handful of primary voting locations across America where the Republican field has whittled the number candidates racing for the White House down to four. The narrative of all candidates as a collective has been in full opposition to the Obama doctrine, a doctrine which is a moving target that appeases all issues and topics with no foundation except that of distribution of everything.

One must look now at the four that remain standing and the numbers that track their vote and electability ranking. To break in down simply is to say the electorate is just damned stupid when Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul are not receiving the lion share of the ballots that are cast. Kudos to Paul as he speaks only to the messages of liberty, the debt and the exit of occupational forces in foreign countries without define mission objectives.

Newt Gingrich on the other hand speaks to those same issues as Paul, however Newt serves up much more for the sake of America and the alleged engaged population is too indoctrinated to hear Newt’s solutions.

Newt has a long history of thinking out of the box where concepts are offered that are innovative and refreshing. Newt has played the DC hustle game and that demonstrates he can stand toe to toe with the progressives as required to advance America, so yes, Newt was and is a hustler. As I see it however, you cant bullshit a bullshitter and Newt has the savvy to spot a bullshitter wherever they roam.

As a history professor, owning a PhD, Newt has a skill set that breaks down an issue to its core, a speaking ability to keep the argument simple and well defined. Americans are still too comfortable to seek the reconstruction that is required in all of DC for which Newt argues to achieve.

Newt is bold as demonstrated by having no fear to examine all that ails America as he has authored countless summaries, solutions and books that speak to re-tooling DC politics and has published all of them in various forms for the electorate to read, but have they read them? I submit the answer is no, as voters are too apathetic to perform their respective duty as a citizen to engage often as the sheriff of government.

Washington DC has been a nasty and nefarious machine whose engine operates with unlimited fuel sources paid for by lobby networks and media since the early 1900’s. Newt is telling America that he has no fear to throw sand in the gears of that engine to neutralize the transmission of a runaway vehicle.

America must embrace new century innovations and be inspired to look for creative conceptual restoration of government. America cannot grow and expand into the future with old tired business as usual playbooks. We dont need minimum wage and we dont need government schools. We cant prosper with a damning of growth tax code and we can fund a United Nations, NGO’s or the Millennium Challenge or the Merida Initiative where money goes offshore for projects that are outside the scope of America’s best interest without a voice in how those funds are spent. The list is long, yet if the electorate would stop casting ballots for personal reasons and vote for the sake or our country and her future, then Newt’s mission objectives is the clear choice. Newt does not only tell you this verbally but he has written and published the same. Remember the written word is more powerful than the spoken, so go visit his site at Newt.org and learn it, which is your duty as a citizen.

Our Treasured Military, Used for Political Capital

Posted on by

Dear Officers:

It is now confirmed. The wolves are among the flock, deep inside the comfort zone of the Pentagon, and the proverbial blood is flowing across all ranks and branches. Dignity, comradeship, and trust are being slaughtered within the ranks of the military. Not just in the active ranks, but also among the retired corps. The carnage is robust and festering; without as much as a whimper.
In three short years, the grip of the politically liberal vise has gained much momentum. Now command and control is best defined as fractured, discordant, and abysmally petty. In the hands of many using politics, posturing, and intimidation tactics, unyielding political weapons are being employed in a full assault on the high standing and code of honor of each soldier that wears or wore a uniform.
One such manifestation of this erosion of the fabric of our military is the Major Nadal Hassan rampage. Hassan, a soldier with an extreme ideological bent was repeatedly and deliberately overlooked because of his Muslim roots to the point that he killed his fellow soldiers on a military base here at home when he should have been stopped long before this heinous event.
This is but one symptom of a now common practice to over-look possible collateral damage because of political correctness run amok. This new battlefield, on our own soil, is due to fear of reprisal, failed leadership, silent voices, the ‘steady paycheck mentality’, and utter apathy.
The most recent event in this politically correct environment is the Army’s sensitivity program forcing combat veterans and NCO’s to participate by wearing fake breasts and empathy bellies under their uniforms. This is now taking place in conjunction with a worldwide program developed in 2008 that demands sensitivity among men for their pregnant female counterparts. This amounts to an almost deliberate mission to crush the esteem of men in uniform. The Commander in Chief and the Senate either approved this program or assumed default approval positions by not stepping in and halting it.
The examples continue, and now there is new text and definitions for hostilities and what constitutes imminent danger. These have worked to alter the hazardous duty pay-scale for troops to save $255 per month, per assignment, all to meet the eventual $1 trillion Department of Defense austerity objective over ten years. Ironically, the pay-scale of those with desk jobs in Washington DC is not affected.
Facing live fire, IED’s, SAM missiles, and asymmetrical enemies and other weapons, on any battlefield or in the air, is in fact imminent danger! These are dangers that must not be dismissed by decision-makers for the sake of job security, bloated and wasteful government elsewhere, and political ideology.
Then there are the events where political capital earned great dividends. Yes, Osama bin Laden has been sought for ten years, and when he was discovered in a compound in Abbottabad, Seal Team Six was sent in by Obama and the rest is history. Or is it? Since that day, the story has been trotted out on numerous occasions, often for political gain. Whether it was a State of the Union speech, a stump speech, or the incessant ‘talking points’ uttered by the Vice President, White House staffers, and certainly not last, the Obama apologists and ardent supporters on media talk shows.
Months later, in Wardak, Afghanistan, an RPG ambush occurred. Why? Because the enemy knew they were coming. How? Because the media knew – the White House and others told them, and then the world knew. This event meant the death of thirty eight similar elite forces and some Afghans aboard a Chinook helicopter. Once again, worldwide airwaves caused in part many sons and daughters without fathers, wives without soul-mates and parents mourning as they have out-lived their sons.
Topping the use of the bin Laden episode for political gain, we have the incredibly bad decision by the White House and the Pentagon to release highly sensitive material. To who was it released? Not an ally for use in the battle on terrorism, rather, it was granted to a movie producer for the production of a big screen project scheduled to be released in October, begging the question, by whose authority?
There is a body of rules that the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Defense must enforce, yet these rules are ignored – another egregious chapter in military history.
Our youth join your branches of service, they endure boot camp, then perhaps flight school, or sniper school, or intelligence training where upon graduation, the hearts and minds of a new fraternity become faithful masters and stewards of your craft. The goal of these efforts is to triumph together in the common cause of protecting all our national security interests. Soon, with promotion, when each bar, star, and pin is earned, there is pride, esprit de corps, and a custom to uphold and defend, the culture of courage that is taught within the armed services. Journeys are before each member wearing the uniform. These culminate in mission objectives to be achieved, victories realized, and the continuation of the annals of success in American history.
All Officers, from current and past eras, must mentor each among you to nurture the integrity, the will, the scope of defense for the protection on America. Your history, your experience, your knowledge as officers is a very precious instrument required to restore the honor of the Armed Forces. You are called upon to muster and inspire the rank and file at the Department of Defense.
The White House and all agencies must trample the pages of the UCMJ no longer. This callous disregard is a threat to the moral character of the uniform and the narrative belongs to you officers. You must rise up and begin to correct these defects. You are obliged to restore and adopt a posture to cure this twisting of your command and control while setting aside the division, the dissention, and the politics.
Requests for retirement have reached a level so high that it has become policy at the Pentagon to respond with a stamp of “not approved” to keep the numbers up while augmentation is attached, as they plan to pare back at the same time.
As one analyzes the words of people with standing at the Pentagon carefully, it is apparent that opposing sides have been drawn with regard to loyalty, oaths, and political correctness. Missions are assigned that create leadership divisions among the corps, regardless of branch. We are on a feeble and soft foundation today as America embarks on an epic conflict in the Middle East, Asia, and perhaps even South America. The United States military cannot perform on this fragile footing. She has come too far and gained too much through the expense of her blood and treasure, we cannot be idle.

You can no longer be taciturn with your interaction to the civilian leadership that has mandated a cultural thought process that is in complete opposition to the legacy of the military doctrine.
General Robert E. Lee authored a letter to General John B. Hood in 1863, shortly before the Gettysburg address that read, “I agree with you that our Army would be invincible if it could properly be organized and officered. There never were such men in an Army before. They will go anywhere and do anything if properly led. But there is the difficulty, proper commanders, where can they be obtained?”
Senator William F. Knowland noted that:
“Article I of the Constitution gives the power to declare war to the Congress and not to the Executive, We are apparently now, drifting into a twilight constitutional zone where the executive can put us into war, the fourth largest in our history, without a Congressional declaration or a Congressional resolution recognizing that a state of war started by others already exists.
When Congress acts under its constitutional power, every statement for or against the resolution are part of the Congressional Record, and the press and the public are fully informed. The roll-call vote shows how each Member voted. This is responsible and accountable government.
If five or seven men can meet in a closed session in the Blair House or the White House, and put this nation into the fourth largest war from a casualty standpoint in our history, without their statements and recommendations being recorded or available, and without their positions on this matter being known, we have the war-making power transferred from the Congress, operating in the open, to the Executive, operating en camera. That is not, I submit, either responsible or accountable government.”


The time is short, restoration is in dire need. You must leave behind the whimpers, find the fire in your voice and you must force multiply for the sake of America’s future days, for we can no longer tolerate the shame and indifference. Those buried in the hallowed grounds of Arlington and other cemeteries across the land, with or without the caisson, under the glory of our Nation’s flag, are a tribute to the old guard and sentinels for America. Should they speak from their marble headstones, they would ask as I do, how can you be silent anymore?

Respectfully yours, a mere faithful civilian,
