Gitmo, Part Deux

Posted on by

Seems while the WH and the DoJ are hell bent on re-writing clemency laws and possibly releasing as many as 1.0 million criminals from domestic prisons, which is a real poke in the eye for Judges, Juries and Congress, shhh, but the same in about to happen it appears at Gitmo.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder seem to be taking the ‘Implied Powers’ of the presidency to a new level never seen before in history and certainly for nefarious reasons.

There has been a recommendation to transfer the worst 48 at Gitmo, which Obama said were too dangerous and must remain in detention, their new home will likely be Gitmo Part 2 located in Sa’ana, Yemen. Oh, we pay for that too.

 

Yemen prison

 

The facility would hold the 88 Yemeni terrorism suspects, many of whom have  not been charged with any crime, still detained at the US military prison in  Cuba. Yemenis make up more than half of the 164 men held at Guantanamo, and  their stalled repatriation is a key obstacle to closing the prison.

The White House has refused to confirm direct talks with Yemen over the plan.  But Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, said that  the US is part of a UN-led group formed in August to help Yemen establish a  rehabilitation programme “which could also facilitate the transfer of Yemeni  detainees held at Guantanamo”.

Yemen’s human rights minister appealed to the United States and Gulf Arab countries to help fund a $20 million rehabilitation centre that Sanaa says will stop Yemenis released from Guantanamo Bay prison going back to militant activities. Washington halted the repatriation of Yemeni prisoners in 2010 after a man trained by al Qaeda-linked militants in Yemen attempted to blow up a U.S.-bound plane in 2009 with a bomb concealed in his underwear.

Last week President Barack Obama announced the US’s readiness to lift up ban on repatriating Yemeni nationals from Guantanamo Bay top security prison.

Sanaa has put a price tag on the issue, asking Washington and the Gulf capitals to fund construction of a rehabilitation center that will potentially soothe the pains of former extremists and disincline them from armed violence.

“The detainees will be rehabilitated and reintegrated into society,” state news agency Saba quoted Yemen’s President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi as saying. On Tuesday, Hadi shared his views with the US Senator John McCain who is touring the Middle East.

Yemen’s Human Rights Minister Houriah Mashhour told Reuters that the government approved the plan, but needs funding, from $18 to $20 million to bring the project into life.

“The [financial] support that the United States would offer to Yemen in this regard will not be more than what it is [currently] spending to maintain Guantanamo prison,” Mashhour evaluated in an interview on Wednesday.

She also addressed wealthy Arab states of the Persian Gulf, which promoted the power transfer in Yemen in 2011 and helped to stop months-long political instability in Yemen, to sponsor the rehab project.

A large number, if not the majority of the Guantanamo detainees are from Yemen.

Among the 86 Gitmo prisoners already cleared for transfer or release are 56 Yemeni nationals. The next 80 detainees awaiting clearance for transfer have unaccounted for number of Yemenis as well. Many of them are among the 100+ Gitmo prisoners who are on hunger strike, which began sometime in February, demanding to be let out.

Most of them were detained over a decade ago, following the 9/11 terror acts in the US and the American invasion to Afghanistan.

Washington stopped repatriating Yemeni nationals from Guantanamo prison in 2010, following the 2009 incident of an attempted US-bound plane blast. A man who attempted to bring explosives aboard in his underwear had been trained by Al-Qaeda-linked militants in Yemen.

Yemen is one of the most impoverished countries in the Arabian Peninsula, which definitely helps Al-Qaeda cells, which traditionally recruit new members among poverty-stricken population.

The Arab Spring protests in 2011 hit low-lived Yemen particularly hard, putting the country on the verge of a civil war. In the end President Ali Abdullah Saleh was ousted and replaced with his subordinate Hadi.

Though the situation in Yemen has largely stabilized since then, the Islamist insurgency together with Al-Qaeda are still targeting governmental facilities and troops in regular attacks and explosions.

Who is behind this covert move? The answer is Eric Holder’s shadow legal staff. Just a sample of who Barack Obama has said is too dangerous to release but then changed his mind is but one of up to 48 that are soon to be headed to back to Yemen, which by the way is the very location of the al Qaeda meeting with the top jihadis who were so brazen as to publish the video online. The United States did respond with a drone strike however, yet in the end, to empty the cells of Guantanamo and send the detainees to Yemen defies logic…well not to the DoJ or the White House anyway.

FileHell, the Veterans Administration

Posted on by

The truth is bubbling to the top and some in the media are beginning to notice the failure of leadership, waste, fraud and abuse, but mostly patient neglect of veterans. A doctor after many years working at the Phoenix VA had to quit and took on the mission, the whistleblower mission to expose how the collusion worked at this VA hospital.

Warnings were given from a top VA administrator in 2012 about case files, neglect and records manipulation to Congress. So who is approving this purgatory for veterans?
The VA procedure to cover-up the neglect at the VA is reprehensible and every
employee should be a patient themselves to see what abuse veterans endure after
service to their country such that we should bring Eric Shinseki before a
Congressional hearing only after he himself spent 60 days at any of the abusive
and corrupt VA hospitals across the country.

I came to know Howard Altman after meeting him in Tampa at the RNC convention.
I have concluded that Howard is a determined investigative journalist when it
comes to all military matters. Mr. Altman was given a tip about 19 deaths of
veterans and he is committed to finding the real truth for the sake of all
veterans’ plight as they apply to the neglect and cover-up by VA hospitals
around the country.  Sadly, Mr. Altman followed the instructions to file a Freedom of Information Act request to seek documentation, but his request was denied.

After a cursory search of patient neglect and abuse of veterans at VA hospitals,
it was determined that countless cases do exist such that the administration
drafted a memo for distribution to all VA centers to address the deathly issue.
The sample memo is here.
An in depth report on the Veteran’s Administration is found here.
It is almost impossible to determine the quality of the numbers, which is to
say the numbers could be much worse as reports have been edited and amended for
the sake of gaining employee bonuses, sadly while veterans are left in red tape
purgatory.

The backlogs continue and this administration is failing veterans who have
already fulfilled their part of the government contract.

 

VA backlog

(Photo is an actual room full of VA backlogged files)

There is a Congressional Veteran Administration committee that is assigned to
address all veteran needs yet their efforts are trumped by Eric Shinseki all
due to sequestration, political ill-will and malfeasance. The backlogs continue
such that the matter is ignored by all especially the Commander in Chief.
Michelle Obama gives shallow attention to a program of getting returning
veterans jobs and that sadly too is not productive.

Due to Obamacare, veterans are losing their healthcare coverage anyway such
that we see an omen in the future of a national failed healthcare system.

If the VA was doing its job and delivering in their part of the contract would
there really be a need for countless private sector non profit organizations
that work diligently to clean up yet another profound government mess like
Wounded Warriors or The Independence Fund or the Fisher House Foundation? The
private sector does a better job at everything than government and it is a
blessing that such privately funded veteran organizations do exist.

As Commander in Chief, just what is the reason Barack Obama or Eric Shinsheki himself has not ordered a full FBI or Department of Justice criminal investigation? Oh never mind, rhetorical questions are common in the city of ‘no-consequence’.

Clinton Skeletons still Dancing

Posted on by

In the last month, many Clinton administration documents are being released which is required by law. To date we have seen documents as they relate to enemies lists, how to stage and rebuke scandals all of which lead to the just how they think and their hidden missions.

Just this week included in the most recent round of documents we find that Bill Clinton wrote a personal note to the Dar al Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Virginia asking to work together in proposed suggestions from the mosque. After 9/11, the FBI visited this mosque and at least two of the hijackers on that terrible day worshipped there. Additionally, Mohammed al Hanooti was the Iman at the mosque for four years and he was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Of particular note, Anwar al Awlaki was also an Iman there as well. al Awlaki was killed in a drone attack in Yemen. al Awlaki was a U.S. citizen who Major Nidal Hassan of Ft. Hood shooter fame communicated with and al Awlaki was also a major contributor to the Inspire magazine, the al Qaeda publication that advances the jihad doctrine around the world.

After the decision to kill Awlaki by drone, Barack Obama and his staff has sought to keep classified the document trail regarding Awlaki, but a judge ruled today those documents are to be released.

 

Clintons

 

The Clinton’s have a long history of being on the wrong side with particular emphasis placed on campaign money, aborting operations to kill Usama bin Ladin and approving pardons for corrupt placeholders, criminals, bombers and jihadis.

Well in case you are seeking additional proof on the Clintons and need something more on Hillary as she seeks to win the Democrat nominee to be president in 2016, we cannot overlook her complicity in Benghazi but here is the movie titles ‘Hillary’ so you can revisit this lying and corrupt elite couple. This movie was banned from normal theater distribution using the work and names of those like Harry Reid.

Oh yeah, one more thing, remember Sandy Berger, you know the guy who stole documents from the National Archives? Well those documents were over the aborted mission to kill Usama bin Ladin, Sudan and the Millennium Plot. The FBI file is here.

We don’t want a co-presidency in the White House again, and frankly this pair should have their citizenship revoked.

Obamacare, Fraudulent and Deadly

Posted on by

If one looks at Barack Obama’s most recent suggested White House budget, line by line, it is socialism and destructive. No worries however, it was defeated without so much as the media reporting the vote. So, what more do we need to know? A couple of things. Who exactly advises Barack Obama? Thomas Piketty is the answer. Who is he? A French socialist who hates capitalism. Even more scary, Piketty has the ear of many in Washington DC on the side of the Obama regime.

Thomas Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” has only just been translated into English – several weeks ahead of schedule, due to popular demand – and the New York Times’s star columnist Paul Krugman has already described it as “the most important economics book of the year — and maybe of the decade”.

The French economist’s current US book tour is turning into something of a red carpet event. So far this week, he has met the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors as well as Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew.

So this brings us to Obamacare. Economically, Obamacare is Armageddon for America, all of America, the economic future, the financially stability, global competitiveness and worst of all for the young, old, and indigent.

Since the launch of the official PPACA website www.healthcare.gov (which is highly recommended not to visit due to security risks) there have been horror stories about the failure of the website, the massive number of policies cancelled and the billions of dollars thrown at the law to make it work.

 

Obamacare1

 

Steve Tucker, a career health insurance broker and expert reveals some real ugly truths about the law as he HAS read the law and the 22,000 supplemental pages to the law. There are facts and trigger points in the law that take America and the best healthcare system worldwide into the twilight zone.

What is most important is only and only Democrats voted for this law, most of which never read a single page of it and then Barack Obama signed it into law and he too never read a page. You must acknowledge too that Republicans are in fact aware of the content of the law and have worked to repeal, alter and or delay the law as many as 47 times, but Harry Reid the majority leader of the Senate refuses to advance any House bill….ever.

The healthcare system in America never required complete alteration, in fact as many as 45 states already had/have two fully funded medical coverage that covered the sick, elderly and poor. Only a real handful of states needed like plans. But we are at numbers approaching trillions as we move into 2016-2017 and when more than a trillion dollars becomes a real number to be applied to Obamacare, then the earth needs to stand still and hear this full interview with Steve Tucker.

This is the unvarnished truth of a scam, redistribution of wealth, lies, collusion and un-Constitutional law. Fair warning to the listeners for the content of this interview but we must face the scary and damning facts for the sake of being an informed citizen.

Listen to the WHOLE interview here. (The Steve Tucker, Obamacare show)

Obamacare puts America in crisis and this is well known by those that voted for the law. Thank you again to Steve Tucker.

Obama, I can Ignore the law I signed

Posted on by

Only today did Barack Obama sign a law authored by Senator Ted Cruz that would forbid entry, legal entry by a visa to Hamid Aboutalebi. Who is Aboutalebi? Well one must go back to 1979, when the U.S. Embassy was taken over by a group of Iranian radicals and 52 hostages (US diplomat and citizens) were kidnapped for 444 days.

The bill Cruz authored passed with ease and Barack Obama signed it into law, but…but only minutes after signing the new law, he said he would use it only as advise and would not especially enforce it.

  Obama decided to treat the law as mere advice. “Acts of espionage and terrorism against the United States and our allies are unquestionably problems of the utmost gravity, and I share the Congress’s concern that individuals who have engaged in such activity may use the cover of diplomacy to gain access to our Nation,” Obama said in his signing statement.

Read more here on the blowback of Barack Obama’s statement. Remember Barack Obama tells his staff daily they can take action without Congress and we have seen that promise and statement play-out quite well with regard to Obamacare and Immigration.

As a matter of just how this administration sees foreign terrorists, a reminder is important that Aboutalebi has a long history of nefarious connections.

Who else seems to approve of terrorists and has the same warm feeling for letting terrorist go free? Well Eric Holder of course. Holder was acting Attorney General during the Clinton administration and the case of the FALN came up for a pardon. FALN is Fuerzs Armadas de Liberacion Nacional, a Puerto Rico clandestine paramilitary organization of MarxistLeninist orientation with deep ties to the Weather Underground and Black, Inc.  FALN was responsible for 5 bombs in New York in 1974, a bomb-making factory in Chicago was found in 1976 that was theirs and 11 of them were arrested in 1980 for armed robbery. But that is not all, they actually made an assassination attempt on President Truman and seriously injuring a handful of Congressmen.

See history of FALN here, which is a fascinating historical reference.

There are several staggering items in all of this, one is Eric Holder was never completely challenged during his AG/DoJ Confirmation hearing and he worked the clemency deal for President Bill Clinton, who signed it. Oh and by the way we see Bill Ayers of Weather Underground around the country often and he not only is a friend of Barack Obama but he also was the ghost writer for Obama’s book “Dreams of my Father’.

We must wonder what these people think or have any moral clarity on anything.
