Is There A Double Standard On Immigration?

By Tim Powers

Obama Immigration Policy SC Is There A Double Standard On Immigration?

We here in America are seeing a rise in the perks and benefits that are being given to illegal aliens. Our borders are unsecured regardless of what we are told by DHS. Our leaders are now catering to these non- citizens  at an incredible level. They are told that they can come to the US and sign up for government benefits such as food stamps, welfare, and social security without even paying a dime into the system. They are receiving the chance to receive lower college tuition than even US citizens.

Now what about those who WANT to become American citizens and want to do it the right way? No benefits for them unless they have a green card.  I recently received a plea from a couple through one of my sources to expose the double standards that our government is imposing on immigration.

They are a married couple; the husband is an American citizen, and the wife is of Filipino decent. They are legally married and have all of the proper INS documentation. They went to social services and presented their INS documents, birth certificates, marriage license, and anything else that was asked of them. THEY WERE DENIED!! Just because the wife couldn’t present a green card, which she is in the process of getting.

Just like anything else in this country at this point, the Obama regime is supporting those who won’t follow the rules and penalizing those who do. America was once considered the great melting pot of society, and we have always taken care of our own, even when they legally migrated here. We are now quickly being infiltrated by those who have absolutely no desire to become US citizens; they just simply want to turn the US into the cesspools that they came from. May God bless those who still see America as a great beacon of hope and Freedom and who want to LEGALLY become a part of her. As always, my fellow Patriots, stay safe and be aware of your surroundings.

Is Obama Getting Ready To Seize Power?

By Tim Powers

Obama Forward SC 690x1024 Is Obama Getting Ready To Seize Power?

This is a theory that I have put together to make the case for Obama seizing power. First, lets look at the facts.

Obama has issued many executive orders pertaining to peacetime Martial Law, he has control of drone strikes against American citizens on US soil, and he signed the National Defense Authorization Act into law. Reasons for his actions: unknown.

The Department of Homeland Security has recently purchased millions of rounds of ammunition and 7,000 assault rifles. Reasons for these actions: unknown.

Obama recently had top-secret construction done on the White House (and, using Sequestration for an excuse, has stopped all White House tours, even though Donald Trump has agreed to pay for them for the rest of this fiscal year.) Reasons for these actions: unknown.

When Obama and Congressional Democrats discussed Amnesty for illegal aliens, an idea for a possible path for citizenship was for illegals to serve in either the US military, Peace Corps, or Americorp for a period of two years; and then citizenship would be granted.

Homeland Security, using Sequestration for an excuse, has started to release illegal alien CRIMINALS without deporting them. The reason for this action: unknown.

Do you have the picture yet? My theory is that Obama is building his civilian army against Americans using illegal aliens, supplied with arms from DHS, with a promise of full citizenship in the NEW USA. After his opposition is either eliminated or imprisoned, of course. The White House will become the new Presidential Palace. This is the only plausible reason for these actions that I can come up with. I sincerely hope that I am wrong. As always, stay safe and be aware of your surroundings.

Barack Obama: America’s Marquis De Sade

By Robert Warner

President Obama face WH photo SC Barack Obama: America’s Marquis de Sade

As the pain from Barack Obama’s daily attacks on our freedom builds, it is important to keep several things in mind.

For example, today’s headline: Internal Government Email: Make Sequester Cuts As Painful As Possible

Obama is the one who proposed the sequester in the first place: White House Admits (Third Time) President Obama Fibbed On Sequester.

Obama is the one who promised to veto any attempt to remove the sequester cuts: Video: Obama Promises to Veto Attempts to Remove “Painful” Sequester Cuts.

Obama was given an opportunity to select the cuts himself: New GOP sequester plan: Let Obama decide what to cut.

Obama allowed DHS to release 2,000 illegal aliens last month in anticipation of the sequester cuts happening: AP: 2,000 illegals released by DHS, Not 500. Keep in mind that current Obama illegal alien deportation policy is to only incarcerate and deport REPEAT and VIOLENT OFFENDERS only! Obama Refuses to Deport Illegal Aliens BEFORE They Commit Vicious Crimes. DHS is also planning to release 3,000 more during the month of March: DHS Released 2,000 Illegal Immigrants, Plans to Release 3,000 More in March.

Finally, Obama is the one who signed it into law when he had the ability to veto the bill.

To recap, Obama created the problem, prevented the problem from being solved, turned down the chance to minimize the problem, released 2,000 repeat offender and/or violent illegal aliens before the problem became a problem, passed the problem into law instead of vetoing it, and is now making sure (behind the scenes) that the problem is every bit as painful as it possibly could be.

How does it feel to know that your President is willing to do all of the above, at the expense of the nation, as a political ploy to be used in the 2014 mid-term elections? After all, he just can’t get things done because of those pesky Republicans in the House. If only he were a Dictator, things would’ve gone differently…Obama: ‘I Am Not a Dictator’.

If these facts don’t get you ready to fight from now until 2014 and beyond, you are reading the wrong site.

By the way, the sequester disgrace is a story of intrigue, conspiracy, and deliberate betrayal of the American people; yet not ONE of the above headlines relating that story was gleaned from a “mainstream media” source! Isn’t it just a little frightening that the complete news cycle of any given day can be captured in front of a computer while the principle news resources of an entire nation for the last 50 years—newspapers and television—have, by design, left their customers in the dark?

The most transparent administration ever has had a lot of help.

Why The Heck Is DHS Buying More Than A Billion Bullets Plus Thousands Of Guns And Mine-Resistant Armored Vehicles?

By Larry Bell, Contributor

Is there something really serious brewing that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano isn’t telling us? Like for example, is she concerned that those thousands of illegal immigrant prisoners her organization is releasing will join with others crossing our border to reclaim former Mexico territory…and accomplish this before the Democrats can manage to capture Texas for themselves in 2016 using Amnesty votes?  Hey, if some of us may be getting just a bit paranoid, DHS certainly isn’t making it easy to resist that temptation. …read more

Obama Administration Furthering Amnesty Agenda

By Breaking News

Obama Immigration Policy SC Obama administration furthering amnesty agenda

In the past month, President Barack Obama released over 2,000 illegal alien migrants into the general population. He didn’t usher them back to the border; he let them out of prison and into the general population. He plans to release thousands more in the coming months.

Additionally, he no longer enforces our immigration laws internally and he doesn’t enforce them at the borders. In other words, America no longer remains a sovereign country, but a destination for millions of third world people.

Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, www.fairus.org , spoke with me about it this week:

“After news was leaked through several sources, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials confirmed they have been releasing illegal aliens in federal custody in order, they claim, to satisfy cuts under the sequester,” said Stein. “In fact, according to internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents reviewed by the Associated Press, the Administration released more than 2,000 illegal aliens before the sequester even took effect, releasing roughly 1,000 illegal aliens per week since February 15. In addition, the documents reveal the administration planned to release 3,000 additional illegal aliens during the month of March.

“Under the sequester – which took effect Friday – ICE must cut 5.3 percent of its budget. However, according to the internal DHS documents, ICE field offices were told to cut their detention capacity five times that amount (or 26 percent) from 34,000 detainees to 25,748 by March 31, 2013.

10 Programs That Should Be Cut – But Won’t Be Cut – From The Federal Budget

By Breaking News

Dollar Bills SC 10 Programs That Should Be Cut – But Won’t Be Cut – From The Federal Budget

Washington is laying on the malaise pretty thick lately over automatic budget cuts set to take effect in March, with admonitions and partisan attacks galore.  Of course, those of us who are educated in the finer points of our corrupt puppet government are well aware that the public debate between Democrats and Republicans amounts to nothing more than a farcical battle of Rock’Em Sock’Em Robots with only one set of hands behind the controls.  The reality is, their decisions are scripted, their votes are purchased, and they knew months ago exactly how America’s fiscal cliff situation would progress.  The drama that now ensues on the hill is meant for OUR benefit and distraction, and no one else.

The Obama Administration warns that “sequestration” (austerity) will result in a return to recession for the U.S.  News Flash, folks!  The country never left the recession that officially began in 2008.  Sorry to burst that inflated recovery hopium bubble…

Janet Napolitano warns that cuts will result in a greater risk of terrorist attacks.  Apparently, an extra $85 billion per year buys us complete safety from the Muslim boogeyman, though the DHS has been far more concerned with “homegrown extremists” (people like me) than Al-Qaeda lately…

The White House and DHS has warned that funding for border control may be diminished, and the southern border will be left “wide open” to infiltration.  Apparently, the White House is not aware that the southern border is ALREADY wide open.  If they were truly concerned about the porous border, maybe they would refrain from decisions to release over 10,000 illegal immigrants from holding before cuts have even been finalized, sending a clear message to Mexico that there will be no consequences for anyone sneaking into the U.S. without permission…

The DOD warns that cuts to defense will result in a weakened military posture for America, and yet, our posture has already been greatly weakened by our numerous illegal wars in the Middle East (some overt, some covert).  I have yet to see any tangible assessments on how our continued presence in Iraq and Afghanistan has made our nation safer…

Video: Obama Admin Prepares To Disarm America

By Kris Zane

Barack Obama is a Marxist. And like all good Marxists, he wants to disarm the public. It’s not like it hasn’t been done before. In October 1918, the Communist government “ordered citizens to surrender all firearms, ammunition…having first mandated registration of all weapons six months earlier.”

The Nazis followed the same pattern.

The Nazi Weapons Law of November 11, 1938 prohibited Jews from “acquiring, possessing, and carrying firearms and ammunition, as well as truncheons or stabbing weapons.”

Both the Nazis and Communist Party members were exempt from these guns bans.

Now it’s our federal government that is exempt from the laws they place on the public they are mandated to serve.

After the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, Obama and his Marxist minions began wringing their hands decrying those evil assault weapons, while quietly ordering 7000 AR-15s for the Department of Homeland Security.  In order to exempt themselves from the laws they want to foist on the American people, the AR-15s are being referred to as “personal defense weapons.”

But what is really shocking is the number of bullets the federal government is stockpiling.

The Department of Homeland Security has stockpiled a staggering amount of ammunition—two billion rounds, most of it the hollow point, armor-piercing variety, enough to kill every American man, woman, and child five times.

The DHS claims all these bullets are for “training purposes.”

And what are they using for targets?

The DHS has been stockpiling “non-traditional” gun targets, portraying everyday Americans defending themselves, even purchasing targets of a small child with a handgun.

The ATF, with fond memories of the Ruby Ridge massacre, is also getting in the act with a target depicting a woman protecting her unborn child.

But what is good for the government apparently is not good for the public.

The Veterans Administration is moving to disarm so-called “incompetent” veterans, sending out thousands of letters with the following:

A determination of incompetency will prohibit you from purchasing, possessing, receiving, or transporting a firearm or ammunition. If you knowingly violate any of these prohibitions, you may be fined, imprisoned, or both…

Of course, the letter leaves open as to what “incompetency” entails.

Military veterans traditionally are liberty-loving conservatives. This “incompetency” may be the government’s view that veterans have a predilection for becoming domestic terrorists.

A little known sub-department within the DHS called the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism—START, for short— published “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States.” Who should we be worried about, per START? Those who are “reverent of individual liberty.” Those who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority.” Those who believe there is a “grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

Sounds like the basis for the Obama administration to take out veterans, Tea Party members, and anyone who holds conservative values. Anyone who believes the Constitution of the United States is the highest law in the land.

Everyday conservative Americans are becoming Public Enemy Number One of the Obama Administration.

And enemies need to be disarmed.

Presidential Proclamation — 10th Anniversary of the United States Department of Homeland Security

By The White House

10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNITED STATES
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

– – – – – – –

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

Ten years ago, when the tragic events of September 11 were fresh in our hearts and our Nation found itself in a more uncertain world, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) opened its doors with a single task: keeping the American people safe. Day by day, hour by hour, the Department has advanced that critical mission through a decade of shifting threats and new challenges. We take this opportunity to recognize its accomplishments and pay tribute to the people who have made them possible.

Alongside its partners in government and the private sector, DHS has taken action to make our borders and ports more secure, our critical infrastructure and cyber networks more resilient, and our people more engaged in addressing the dangers we face. While threats persist, America is better prepared to meet them, and we stand ready to overcome whatever challenges the future holds.

Homeland security cannot begin and end with the Federal Government; it takes commitment from every part of society. By forging lasting partnerships with stakeholders at home and abroad, DHS has worked to streamline our legal immigration system, stem the tide of illegal immigration, and chart a course toward sensible reform. And in a decade marked by national emergencies and natural disasters, the Department has invested in communities nationwide, improving our preparedness for times of crisis.

As we commemorate a decade of service, our Nation recognizes the men and women who have carried out the Department of Homeland Security's vision for a safer, stronger America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 1, 2013, as the 10th Anniversary of the United States Department of Homeland Security. I call upon all Americans to recognize the United States Department of Homeland Security for improving America's readiness and resilience.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, 2/25/2013

By The White House

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room

1:21 P.M. EST

MR. CARNEY: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thanks for being here. As you can see, I have a guest with me today for the daily briefing. Secretary Janet Napolitano is here to speak with you about the effects of sequester — sequestration — if it is allowed to take place, what those effects would be on her department.

As you heard from Secretary LaHood last week from this podium and Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, over the weekend, the impacts of sequester will be felt if sequester takes place, in a variety of ways — in education and defense spending and transportation, air traffic control and the like, and certainly with regards to our homeland security.

So as we did with Secretary LaHood, I’d ask that you allow Secretary Napolitano to give a topper, some remarks at the top, then she’ll take questions from you specific to her. If you could hold questions that you expect I’ll be more appropriate to answer until we can allow the Secretary to leave and then I’ll take those questions.

And with that, I turn it over to Secretary Napolitano.

SECRETARY NAPOLITANO: Thank you, Jay. And I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the impacts of sequestration on the operations of the Department of Homeland Security. As a primer, DHS has a very broad mission and we touch almost every aspect of the economy. We secure the aviation sector. We screen two million domestic air travelers a day. We protect our borders, our ports of entry. We facilitate legitimate travel and trade. Last year, our CBP officers processed more than 350 million people and processed over $2.3 trillion in trade. We enforce the immigration laws. We partner with the private sector to protect critical infrastructure. We work with states and local communities to prepare for and respond to disasters of all types, like Hurricane Sandy, while supporting recovery and rebuilding.

Put simply, the automatic budget reduction mandated by sequestration would be disruptive and destructive to our nation’s security and economy. It would negatively affect the mission readiness and capabilities of the men and women on our frontlines. It would undermine the significant progress we’ve made over the past 10 years to build the nation’s preparedness and resiliency.

Perhaps most critically, it would have serious consequences to the flow of trade and travel at our nation’s ports of entry. We will have to begin to furlough customs and border protection officers who staff those ports. At the major international airports, we will be limited in accepting new international flights, and average wait times to clear customs will increase by as much as 50 percent. And at our busiest airports like Newark and JFK, LAX and O’Hare, peak wait times, which can reach over two hours, could easily grow to four hours or more. Such delays will cause thousands of missed-passenger …read more

Video: Obama Admin Is Preparing To Take Out Conservative Americans

By Kris Zane

Military veterans consistently poll as identifying themselves as conservative, which in Obama’s world equates into “right wing extremists.” In fact, the Left has lumped everyone into this category who doesn’t swallow Obama’s big government crisis management mode of government—which tends to mean nullifying the Constitution and/or spurning Congress.

But when Obama’s big government plans start calling for “universal background checks” and bans on “assault weapons,” those who are students of history know what is next: totalitarianism. And despots need an enemy. Hitler had the Jews, and Obama has conservatives.

Some will cry conspiracy theory; and up until perhaps a year ago, I would have joined in handing out tin foil hats. But just this week, the Obama administration sent out a slew of letters to “disabled” veterans, telling them to turn in their guns. The Department of Homeland Security produced a ten-minute video on how to recognize domestic terrorists. Did any of these “domestic terrorists” hail from the Middle East or North Africa, as one would normally expect given their track record? Or were they likened to the domestic terrorist par excellence, the Fort Hood Shooter, Nidal Hasan? Oh, wait a minute. That was “workplace violence” according to the Obama administration. So what did these potential domestic terrorists look like in the DHS “training” video? All middle class, all white. Must have just been a coincidence.

How exactly did the DHS come to the conclusion that white, middle class American citizens were the enemy? Well, the government did what the government does best— commission a study. A little known sub-department within the DHS called the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism—START, for short— published “Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States.” Who should we be worried about per START? Those who are “reverent of individual liberty.” Those who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority.” Those who believe there is a “grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.”

Kind of sounds like those who identify themselves as part of the Tea Party movement.

This is no joke, America. Barack Obama and his Marxist minions are coming after conservative America with a vengeance.

DHS “Operation Thunderdome”…Is This Free America’s Last Stand?

By Tim Powers

Police SC DHS Operation Thunderdome...Is This Free Americas Last Stand?

I am sure that by now, most of you readers are familiar with the DHS insider interviews.

The latest installment discusses the planned economic collapse of the American economy as well as the planned response by DHS. They have been aggressively training civilian police forces for some time now in combat tactics to thwart a resistance to a total collapse of society. Have you asked yourself yet why the DHS is purchasing millions of rounds of ammunition (some of which is deemed illegal for use by the Geneva convention)? Ammunition that not even our military is allowed to use? The DHS currently now has enough ammunition to shoot every man, woman, and child four to five times. Do you find this disturbing?

According to the DHS insider, the group “Obama for America” has been re-activated; and young people have been hired for a minimum wage to surf the internet. Their purpose? To infiltrate social networks and blogs and to hack user e-mail in an attempt to establish a list of “enemies” of the Obama regime. They are also tasked with spreading misinformation (propaganda). Have any of you noticed that some of your Facebook or Twitter postings mysteriously disappear? There is your sign.

I would dare say, though, that the scariest aspect of this operation is the fact that through all of this information gathering, DHS is building a “Target” or “kill” list. This just isn’t a list with just big names on the right like Hannity, Limbaugh, Savage, or Beck on it. My sources have confirmed that I am on it as well, being listed as a writer for The Western Center for Journalism. I was recently asked by my editor if this threat would stop me from writing; my response was “absolutely not!!” They already know who I am, so I will continue to fight them with my pen until the time comes to access other means.

Please don’t take this information for granted. The Obama regime has already set the wheels in motion; they already have what is necessary in order to declare Martial law. They just need to trigger the collapse. Do your research, fellow Patriots; the time is drawing near to fight for the very survival of a FREE America. As always, my friends, stay safe and be aware of your surroundings.
