What do you think President Obama might say on Tuesday regarding a war on Syria? Our guess is something like this…
On the eve on September 11 when terrorists smashed planes into the World Trade Center, and our embassy at Bengazi was attacked, it is imperative that we defend innocent people from harms way. Blah, blah, blah. The USA will stand with the Taliban to defeat Assad and restore democracy. I’d also line you to consider Hillary 2016 for the outstanding commitments she’s made to answering why it matters.
I’d like to remind you of the holocaust, having just finished the Jewish New Year celebration, that we can begin a new. That the book of life isn’t closed. That we can work together to end atrocities by bombing Syria as punishment for using weapons of mass destruction. That even tho we have no support from the United Nations and against international law, the USA will stand by the red line.
We ask our North American Union partner, Mexico to return any weapons bc we are broke and sequestration means we need them back. Our border remains aloof to security so if you’d like to join up that would be great.
Blah blah blah. In conclusion, while we promised no boots on the ground, we will need them to secure chemical depots. These WMD may have come from the USA, UK and other allies but that’s the facts jack. And we will continue to support our military contracts bc we see no evidence of a coup in Egypt.
Lastly, I want to thank Sen McCain, who understands the battles of war and my chosen Secretary of State who petitioned against war in Vietnam. And special props to Dennis Rodman who continues to reach out to our North Korean friends.
On tomorrow’s schedule, I will be golfing and sending Veep Joe to bumble a few words prior to the moment of silence. For lunch,
my kids will be eating gourmet and studying hard while the rest of you eat less than 1100 calories and have common core stuffed down your throat w 11 minutes of recess.
Almost forgot, May God Bless The United States of America.
H.R. 5741 The Universal National Service Bill, also called the Slavery Bill was introduced by Charlie Rangle last month before more of his legal woes came to light by The House Ethics Committee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_B._Rangel
The exact description-
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, and for other purposes. {sic. What other purpose would there be?}
He is the sole sponsor of the bill that amounts to a two year mandatory uniformed military draft or civilian service draft. I object.
This is not China and this is not Israel where National military service is mandatory for any non-Arab Israeli citizen over the age of 18, although other exceptions may be made on religious, physical or psychological grounds. Men serve three years in the IDF, while women serve two. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Defense_Forces
Rangle first brought the idea up in 2003 when the U.S. was at preparing to invade Iraq, and again in 2004, 2006 and 2007. Under the guise of National Security and Homeland Defense, the President would have far reaching power into the individuals pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, and of course more government control.
America it seems is nearly always at war. From the War on Terror, to Iran and Afghanistan, yet our voluntary military system works on behalf of the downtrodden and U.S. interests. It is up to the leaders to provide the leadership to make it work as it has for hundred’s of years. We already have a VOLUNTARY MILITARY, if the government wants to set up VOLUNTARY SERVICE then so be it; NOT A MANDATORY DRAFT!
We could almost understand a bill that would require, that if you are 18 years of age, not in school, do not have a job, and not needed at home, then, and only then would any-sort of a MANDATORY service be required. Perhaps that is Rangle’s angle, to soften things up a bit in the bill’s final passage. A t least Rangle served in the Army, which is more than our commander-in-chief can say.
Legal and non-legal citizens are currently required to register with Selective Services for men 18-25, not 42!
Selective Service does not collect any information which would indicate whether or not you are undocumented. You want to protect yourself for future U.S. citizenship and other government benefits and programs by registering with Selective Service. Do it today.
If you are a man ages 18 through 25 and living in the U.S., then you must register with Selective Service. It’s the law. According to law, a man must register with Selective Service within 30 days of his 18th birthday. Selective Service will accept late registrations but not after a man has reached age 26. –http://www.sss.gov/
Just maybe if Selective Services verified if registrants were undocumented, we would know if they were here illegally! Duh. Does the Armed Services accept undocumented citizens into the military? We accepted a President with little documentation.
Recruiting standards have been lowered and more people looking for jobs are already turning to the military. In a report from the Army, a “newly released study on the psychological health of its soldiers, “Health Promotion, Risk Reduction, and Suicide Prevention,” is brutally honest about a growing problem in the ranks.
America remains in a declared, “state of emergency,” from the swine flu pandemic. As it stands, if this passes- mothers, daughters, fathers and sons will be commissioned into government servitude service disrupting core families, further eroding jobs, the economy and quite possibly affecting an entire population with mental health issues, say nothing of battlefield injury. Certainly not to say all servicemen and women experience problems or participate in battlefield operations.
Suggested FEMA CAMPS
BTW, just where would you house a civilian military? Could it be all those FEMA camps we’ve been hearing about? Sarcastically we write -on the plus side that those called into service would not be a drain on Universal Healthcare. Inductees would be mandatorily vaccinated and medically cared for under the military budget. They would also not be counted in unemployment levels, screwing the jobs report numbers. You know, do whatever it takes to cook the books.
Millions of U.S. Citizens Lives Disrupted if H.R. 5741 Passes
Rangle and anyone who co-sponsors this bill needs to read,
The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution…
In an attempt to yet again alter the Constitution, we are reminded of President Obama’s challenge to democracy. He said loud and clear, “It’s a tragedy the Constitution wasn’t radically reinterpreted to force redistribution of wealth for African Americans.”
Civil War portrait of Abraham Lincoln; in the background is the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, which granted freedom to slaves in states then in rebellion against the Union. Slavery was finally abolished by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865.
It would be a tragedy to see the Constitution reinterpreted to force military and civilian service for people as this bill is written. Should President Obama sign this legislation, President Lincoln will be rolling at the thought that Obama swore his Presidential Oath on his Bible.

How embarrassing that this country elected President Obama. I don’t care for the white part of him or the black part. Throw the race card right out the window. I do find it admirable that voters can see past a persons color, and disgraceful that they couldn’t see what Joe The Plumber warned of the socialistic tendencies coming down the pike. I don’t mean those stupid Recovery Signs down the Turnpike either.
Will Ahrcanum and similar web sites now be black listed by Google and the government new Internet police for saying I disagree with the President? Should I fire myself for expressing my opinion? Does that constitute an Internet Crime? http://www.cyberlawenforcement.org/
From day one, President Obama’s campaign was an orchestrated masterful manipulation of the press and continues to this day, as the Administration seems to be working towards an all out government run media including the Internet. Transparency my ass.
The right to free speech, the communication of ideas and opinions has its history in numerous documents. John Locke established the individual as the unit of value and the bearer of rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. It is supposed to be the role of Government to protect these rights, not take them away. The First Amendment to the Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press”.
You have to take your chances on the repercussions of having free speech though. Can’t be yelling “Fire” in a theatre and common decency kind of things. Helen Thomas broke protocol when sharing her personal views that the Jews in Israel should go home. In response, she was forced into retirement as a columnist for the Hearst News Service. http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2010/06/helen-thomas-dean-of-white-house-press.html.
Gen. Stanley McChrystal, a former black ops leader and commander of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan couldn’t keep his opinion to himself either. Even prior to the Rolling Stone article put the end to his career, [sic, previous] “remarks earned him a smackdown from the president himself, who summoned the general to a terse private meeting aboard Air Force One. The message to McChrystal seemed clear: Shut the fuck up, and keep a lower profile.” http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/17390/119236
McChrystal may have been unimpressed with the commander-in-chief from the start, but the General worked for him. Not always smart to disrespect the boss. The President on the other hand, is supposed to work for you and I and defend the Constitution, not against us or it.
Fighting homegrown terrorism by monitoring Internet communications is a civil liberties trade-off the U.S. government must make to beef up national security, the nation’s homeland security chief said Friday.
I buy the nation’s security plea, not the censorship Kool-Aid sale. Not withstanding, I still hate referring to America as The Homeland. Is there some sort of global conspiracy to limit free speech and on-line discussion? There are Internet censorship bills in Australia, the U.K., and the U.S. with more to come. Say nothing of the black holes where there is no Internet at all.
Will America Turn into the Black Hole of The Internet?
By a 3-2 vote, the FCC on June 16 — under the chairmanship of Julius “Caesar” Genachowski — moved the agency toward the power to regulate the transmission component of broadband Internet service. Genachowski — Obama’s Harvard law classmate — thus sets the table for regulating the Internet under rules that were written for the telephone company in the thirties. http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/vernon/100712
The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) has received fleeting public attention, yet it has been quietly evolving for a number of years. On it’s face ACTA is described as a countermeasure directed at the rise of counterfeit goods, medicines and pirated copyright protected material, including “piracy over the Internet”.
If officially ratified, however, ACTA would mark the formation of a major new global legal infrastructure with relation to standards on intellectual property rights enforcement. It would also see the formation of an international governing body to oversee implementation of the agreement. http://truth11.com/2010/07/12/acta-flagship-of-the-growing-internet-censorship-armada/
Obama Administration regulatory czar Cass Sunstein is on the record in support of the latest in a series of proposals to regulate political speech on the net.
“The site’s of one point of view agree to provide links to sites of the other point of view. So if you’re reading a conservative magazine, they would provide a link to a liberal site. And vice versa, just to make it easy for people to access to competing views. Or maybe a popup on your screen that would show you an advertisement or maybe even a quick argument for a competing view
Government mandates for the Internet? In his book Democracy and the Problem of Free Speech Sunstein says there is a need to reformulate First Amendment law. And recall Sunstein, ” has a secret aim to push a radical animal-rights agenda in the White House. Sunstein supports outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file lawsuits, and using government regulations to phase out meat consumption. http://www.prweb.com/releases/Cass-Sunstein/Animal-Rights/prweb1868134.htm
No steak dinner, no unrestricted Internet? Pop up ads for a competing point of view? Rewrite the First Amendment? Where’s Ted Nugent when you need him?
Discussions, bills and laws like The Fairness Doctrine and Net Neutrality aren’t going away anytime soon.
There is some hope for keeping the First Amendment in tact and further limiting big brother with the Enumerated Powers Act that requires that each bill cite its authority under the Constitution. http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1319/show The sad thing about this bill is that it takes a bill or legislation to remind our elected officials to do something they should have been doing all along- you know, a little something called upholding the Constitution to which they were elected to and swore an oath to support and defend.
Oh that’s right, the President is after all a Constitutional Lawyer, I think. I’ve never seen his diploma or birth certificate for that matter but numerous times he has made reference that the Constitution does not address social inequities.
DC Downsizer Michael Mitchell of Alaska compiled this list from Article I of the U.S. Constitution. These are all the powers that the Congress has-
When it comes to governments restricting the Internet I am reminded of George Carlin’s, “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television”. Today, I take the opportunity to write: Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, and Tits, just because I still can. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words
How’s that for freedom of speech and freedom of religion too? Now I have to go to confession to saying and writing those dirty words.

As Arizona’s immigration policy does what the federal government won’t, The Department of Homeland Security has now declared a Terror Alert along the Mexico U.S. border.
The Department of Homeland Security is alerting Texas authorities to be on the lookout for a suspected member of the Somalia-based Al Shabaab terrorist group who might be attempting to travel to the U.S. through Mexico, a security expert who has seen the memo tells FOXNews.com. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/26/terror-alert-mexican-border/
It is akin to an all points bulletin and searching for a needle in a haystack. While your looking for terrorists would you mind stopping a few of those Mexican illegal immigrants who are still flocking to border states like Arizona and Texas. Obama and other elected officials have publicly admitted to not reading the bill, yet cry wolf and ignore the problems.
An administration official confirmed to Fox News that Obama plans to deploy the National Guard troops as needed. Mr. President, with all due respect, “as needed” would be right the frig now. Sending some 1,200 troops is a flea on a camel’s ass- insignificant.
Will the National Guard be stationed right on the line, with bullets in their guns and the authority to defend themselves? Almost certainly not. The border is a “combat zone,” says T.J. Bonner, head of the Border patrol agents’ union, too dangerous even for Border Patrol. http://usactionnews.com/2010/05/americans-fleeing-border-invasion-obama-dithers/
It has gotten so bad that Americans are leaving fleeing their homes to get away from the border.
Pinal County sheriff’s Lt. Tamatha Villar says the deputy suffered a superficial wound to his abdomen after being shot with an AK-47 assault rifle Friday afternoon.
Shot by an AK-47. I doubt the police or any farmer is packing an AK-47 for protection and enforcement. Don’t go and blame the 2nd amendment and gun retailers.
We’ve got the war on drugs, war on terror, war in Afghanistan, war in Iraq and a czar for everything except the U.S. Mexican border and the Deepwater Horizon Oil Clean up. Oh wait, we don’t need another czar, we need a President who does something to fix the problems. NOW.
We are getting the “The change you can believe in,” alright. Changes like the President of the United States of America acquiescing to a foreign leader’s interference in the affairs of sovereign Arizona and bowing to Kings and Queens. He is holding his first press conference in over a year later today. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/postpartisan/2010/05/what_obama_has_to_do_at_todays.html
The Modular Aerial Spray System on Air Force Reserve Command C-130 aircraft
These planes are being loaded with dispersants to quell the oil spill in the Gulf. Obama is scheduled to visit New Orleans on Friday, but his handlers may alter his plans due to the area being, ” hazardous to his health.”
The U.S. Coast Guard has pulled commercial fishing boats from oil cleanup efforts in Breton Sound off the Louisiana coast after several people became ill. The Coast Guard says crew members on three vessels reported nausea, dizziness, headaches and chest pains Wednesday afternoon. Four people were hospitalized, including one who was flown to a hospital.
While in Youngstown, Obama said, “..sometimes in Washington, everybody is spending all their time arguing about politics and you lose track of the folks who sent you there in the first place. And so it’s important for me to meet you directly and hear your concerns and your hopes and your dreams.”

CITE THIS SOURCE or may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
The National Guard is headed for the Mexican U.S. border.http://www.nationalguard.com/ President Obama in his infinite wisdom or, from reading the Nation’s leading poll’s supporting Arizona’s immigration law( http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll ) is sending troops. It is not so obvious that it is for immigration control, as the Mexican Embassy point out that troops will be on guard against the illegal flows of weapons and bulk cash into Mexico, which provide organized crime with its firepower and its ability to corrupt.
Regarding the Administration’s decision to send 1,200 National Guard servicemen to the US Southern border, the Government of Mexico trusts that this decision will help to channel additional US resources to enhance efforts to prevent the illegal flows of weapons and bulk cash into Mexico, which provide organized crime with its firepower and its ability to corrupt.
Additionally, the Government of Mexico expects that National Guard personnel will strengthen US operations in the fight against transnational organized crime that operates on both sides of our common border and that it will not, in accordance to its legal obligations, conduct activities directly linked to the enforcement of immigration laws.
Mexico is determined to continue working on its side of the border to enhance the security and well-being of border communities, and to deter and dismantle organized crime and its links to drug trafficking and human smuggling.
As part of our joint strategy in the fight against transnational organized crime, there are actions that our two governments have undertaken together, and there are other measures taken independently by Mexico and by the US within their respective territories. In this regard, the Mexican Government fully respects the sovereign decisions of the US Government, but underscores that joint responsibility must continue to underpin our joint efforts in rolling-back transnational organized crime operating on both sides of the border.
As the commander-in-chief, I believe he is supposed to be in charge of the Nation’s Military, not states National Guard troops. Others are of the same opinion:
“There is no modern precedent for Congress to direct the president to deploy troops in the manner sought by the Amendment,” National Security Adviser James Jones and Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser John Brennan wrote to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.)
“It represents unwarranted interference with the Commander-in-Chief’s responsibilities to direct the employment of our Armed Forces and thus infringes on the President’s role in the management of the Total Force,” they wrote.

We have U.S. Servicemen and women on active duty on U.S. soil in violation of Posse Comitatus. If we are breaking protocol anyway, why not get it over with and send the military to secure the border with Mexico? “…to protect the American people and their way of life!”
JTF-CS anticipates, plans and integrates USNORTHCOM chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosive (CBRNE) consequence management operations, and when directed, establishes command and control of DOD forces in response to a CBRNE incident to assist local authorities in saving lives, preventing further injury and providing temporary critical support.
As much as I am against active duty troops on our soil, if they are going to be here, then utilize them here. Don’t wait for another terrorist act to occur. Post 9-11, the security of our nation remains at risk. JTF-CS if so ordered would restore at least some sanity to our border, while of course pissing Mexico off. Tough. Rumor has it that there are plenty of Russian troops on U.S Soil, perhaps they’d lend a hand too. http://www.resistnet.com/forum/topics/alert-russian-troops-in-us-for
Our borders are being overwhelmed by Mexican people crossing into the greatest country on earth, illegally. We are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. North Korea and South Korea are playing a deadly game of tit for tat, and China’ aggression towards the U.S. has been pretty clear while it remains our largest debt holder. Oil is spilling by thousand’s of gallons every day.
Besides the multiple crisis we are battling, this weekend is Memorial Day, the day we honor our nation’s dead military personnel. The president previously confused Memorial Day with Veteran’s Day. “Someone might want to explain to the President that it is a little difficult to say “thank you” or send care packages to the deceased.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2257872/posts
On Monday, Obama is scheduled to participate in a Memorial Day ceremony at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, Ill. In Obama’s absence, Vice President Joe Biden will participate in the customary wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington.
Obama may be President, even though he still has not provided a birth certificate proving he is eligible. Still, it is pretty un-American for The President to not lay the traditional wreath at Arlington Cemetary. What can you expect from the man who couldn’t bother to put his hand on his heart during The Pledge of Allegiance?

The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle also referred to as the Advanced Technology Demonstrator is set for launch tonight, April 22, 2010. It will be taken aloft by The Atlas V in the 501 vehicle configuration with a five-meter fairing, no solid rocket boosters and a single-engine Centaur upper stage from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station’s Launch Complex 41. The planned liftoff time is 7:52 p.m. and the launch window will extend through 8:01 p.m.
The X-37B OTV is not your everyday launch. First of all, this is not a NASA program, but a U.S. government launch that is cloaked in secrecy. Shuttle Atlantis only this morning has reached its seaside perch on launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center. It is targeted for a six crew, May 14 launch to the International Space Station. http://flametrench.flatoday.net/

The X-37 program, while originally a NASA initiative, is now led by Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office officials, which expedite development and fielding of select Defense Department combat support and weapons systems. AFRCO officials are currently working on the X-37B program, building upon early development and testing conducted by officials from NASA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123199790
Angie Blair, an Air Force spokeswoman for the project added, “that the X-37B will be operated by contractors under the direction of Air Force Space Command’s 3rd Space Experimentation Squadron.”
Featured above is one of, “Trevor Paglen’s “I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to Be Destroyed By Me: Emblems From the Pentagon’s Black World.” Paglen, an “artist, writer and experimental geographer,” has assembled about 40 colorful patch insignia from secret, military “black” programs that are hardly ever discussed in public… Almost every patch has a Latin phrase at the bottom, e.g. Semper en Obscurus, or “Always in the Dark,” the motto of the Air Force’s Special Projects Office.http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/08/opinion/08iht-edbeam.1.9872586.html
On this AFRCO patch, ” The Latin at the bottom of the patch translates as “Doing God’s work with other people’s money.” The image is part of the http://www.naderlibrary.com/index.htm.
This patch is from the Phillips Laboratory Military Spaceplane Technology (MiST) Program Office at Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. The original version of this patch featured an "X-Wing" fighter from Star Wars.
The Air Force interest in military spaceplanes stretches back nearly 40 years from the first Aerospaceplane program and Dyna-Soar/X-20 program (late 1950s-early 1960s); to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization’s Single-Stage Rocket Technology program that built the Delta Clipper-Experimental (DC-X) experimental reusable spaceplane. http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/launch/msp.htm
From a 1999 Report via http://www.globalsecurity.org/space/library/report/1999/99-154.htm “The Air Force must quickly develop doctrine and command relationships designed to maximize the contributions routine space access brings to the joint warfighter. Doctrinal constructs for the effective use of USAF expeditionary aerospace power will help ensure our nation maintains its lead as the preeminent aerospace power. This paper specifically uses the near-future advent of Reusable Launch Vehicles and their implications for an Expeditionary Air Force as an illustration of how future Joint Force Commanders may effectively bring aerospace power to bear in the battlespace as a combined, synergistic whole.”
Basically, 11 years later America is about to officially weaponize space, or should we say at least for the first time, admitting it.
The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle will provide a flexible space test platform to conduct various experiments and allow satellite sensors, subsystems, components and associated technology to be efficiently transported to and from the space environment where it will need to function. Read the X-37B fact sheet. The X-37B will also prove new technology and components before they are committed to operational satellites.
Under President Obama’s new policy, however, if the state that has just attacked us with biological or chemical weapons is “in compliance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),” explained Gates, then “the U.S. pledges not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against it.”
Besides our horrible policy on deterrence, officials are warning that the U.S. is being subject to increasing threats.
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2010 – Ballistic missiles are an increasing threat to the United States, and the Defense Department must keep up with them, the deputy undersecretary of defense for policy said today. James N. Miller, speaking about the department’s Nuclear Posture Review before the Senate Armed Services Committee, said several nations are developing nuclear, chemical or biological warheads for their missiles.
The threat to the U.S. homeland is most acute from states such as North Korea and Iran, Miller said. “Neither has yet acquired ICBMs that could reach the United States, but both are working to acquire and/or develop long-range ballistic missile capabilities – including space-launched vehicles – which include many of the necessary technologies,” he said.
“The exploration and use of outer space … shall be for peaceful purposes and shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interest of all countries, irrespective of their degree of economic or scientific development. …prevention of an arms race in outer space would avert a grave danger for international peace and security — Prevention of an arms race in outer space, United Nations General Assembly Resolution, A/RES/55/32, January 2001. (PDF Document)
Whether we are militarizing space for peaceful purposes, attack purposes or economic purposes; the X-37B is set for blastoff today, which in total irony is designated Earth Day.

Xe Services LLC is the new name of Blackwater USA. In addition, the U.S. Training Center contact page carries the exact same address.
PO Box 1029
Moyock, NC 27958
A domain registry check confirms that the U.S. Training Center website is registered to XE Services. Pretty compelling proof Mr. Jones!
From the http://www.americanpolicegroup.com/ web site:
American Police Force, dedicated security agency…extensive global network to provide local, regional, and national security solutions to the United States Government…services include highly sophisticated background checks, asset searches, undercover investigations both domestic & international, … Covers the equipment, operations, and individual combat skills essential for soldiers and others who must act as infantry. (emphasis mine) Essential for Army infantry leaders at the platoon and company level, Special Forces troops, Air Force security and patrol services, Marines, and other Army branches.
Would that include assisting Armed forces including the National Guard since a pandemic emergency as was declared over the H1N1 Swine Flu?
According to The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/14/us/14blackwater.html?_r=1, RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Blackwater Worldwide is abandoning the brand name that has been tarnished by its work in Iraq, settling on Xe (pronounced zee) as the new name for its family of two dozen businesses. Blackwater Lodge and Training Center, the subsidiary that conducts much of the company’s overseas operations and domestic training, has been renamed U.S. Training Center Inc., the company said Friday.
Xe or Zee, http://www.xecompany.com/ has a much improved and less aggressive image no longer showing Men In Black holding AK-47’s Mercenaries, but make no mistake, as the site says, “Man-made and natural disasters require an immediate robust response. The USTC and staff of former military and law enforcement professionals can provide the needed training and operational expertise to prepare security teams to effectively support state and federal emergency response units.” -emphasis mine.
Federal response units—can you say FEMA?
Excerpts from the site- Xe is supported by its own construction capability. With a team of electricians, plumbers, engineers….transport resources, including its own in-house travel agency, design and construction teams can be mobilized quickly and efficiently to where their services are needed within the United States….Xe is equipped and prepared to move cargo and people from anywhere in the world….offers an array of capabilities to transport freight and personnel…..outfitted with armored vehicles for safe transport and delivery…
For all intents and purposes we have an organization that exists on U.S. Soil with the capability and know how to wage war on American citizens. The U.S. government contracted with them in Iraq and Afghanistan, why not here in America to quell the the citizen who seek transparency from The Obama Administration?
Why would the U.S. Government allow this? Putting on a legitimate face does not preclude XE, Blackwater, or The American Police Force from being a militia. Could say China, Russia or anyone of a number of countries with enough money, hire them to carry out these tasks upon America? While anti-government sentiment is on the rise with peaceful tea party gatherings, the rest of the world does not look to have a party, but would love to over throw the U.S.A. Even the UN has stated that the U.S. dollar should no longer be the basket currency for the world.
Now comes research described in this report, sponsored by the United States Army and conducted by the RAND Arroyo Center.- The authors for a Stability Police Force (SPF) “containing 6,000 people — created in the U.S. Marshals Service and staffed by a “hybrid option,” in which SPF members are federal police officers seconded to federal, state, and local police agencies when not deployed.” The pdf can be downloaded here http://chriskillz503.blogspot.com/2009/10/apf-mercs-are-fullfilling-rand.html
Last October 2008, According to reports out of top Chinese mainstream news outlets, the RAND Corporation also presented a proposal to the Pentagon lobbying for a war to be started with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy and prevent a recession.
RAND directors include Frank Charles Carlucci III, former Defense Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA, Ronald L. Olson, Council on Foreign Relations luminary and former Secretary of Labor, and Carl Bildt, top Bilderberg member and other notables who purport to honor, serve America.
Putting on a legitimate face does not preclude XE, Blackwater, or The American Police Force from being a militia.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine is the natural number following following nine hundred ninety-eight and preceding one thousand. It is also a Kaprekar number. For example, 999 is a Kaprekar number for base 10, because 999² = 998001, which can be split into 998 and 001, and 998 + 001 = 999. It is also the largest 3 digit whole number in base 10. The Year 999 (CMXCIX) was a common year of the Julian Calendar.
Seeing as the Devil is a sneaky deceiver, will 999, September 9, 2009 be a day of prophecy? 999 upside down is 666.
Someone in the Netherlands has come up with World Interconnectedness Day on 999, saying, http://www.interconnectedness090909.org/ “090909 in every country at 9 AM in every time zone (starting in New Zealand), all people who are aware of interconnectedness and who are committed to translate that awareness into action are invited to practice interconnectedness as much as possible throughout that day.”
http://999itstime.org/ offers more liberal crap saying “we are in a state of emergency- socially, economically and ecologically” so please put aside 9 minutes of your time on 999 Day to join us in taking the following three actions, which should take approximately 3 minutes each. 1. Switch to green energyhttp://www.realpeoplepower.org/ . 2. Cut your emissions 10% and join up with 10:10 movement http://www.1010uk.org/ . 3. Plant a tree. http://www.tree-nation.com/
Gag me. I don’t want to be connected, and I am tired of America being relied upon to save the world. How many zillions of dollars and manpower have been spent in other nations- including Muslim ones, only to have shoes thrown at our President and public displays of America’s Flag burning? How many nations relied upon the blood of American Soldiers in history? In this New World Order we keep hearing about, President Obama better wake up to the fact that we need to make America, America’s priority.
Even under a State of Public Emergency, thanks to the H1N1 Novel Swine Flu Pandemic- America’s borders remain open. Ellis Island and The Statue of Liberty have welcomed millions through the department of immigration while others cross an invisible border to scourge America’s resources illegally. The War on Drugs, The War on Terror- mostly due to the failure of America to protect itself.
NAFTA, Free Trade, Free access to loot America. Put your little pinky toe over the border illegally, and it should get shot off with out spending my tax dollars. No free rides to take you to the best hospitals in the world either.
From Prison Planet – “The deaths we inflict and the pain and suffering we bring to others are merely collateral damage on the bloody path to American hegemony.” http://www.prisonplanet.com/us-hypocrisy-astonishes-the-world.html Fukc you too. Don’t like being in the greatest country on earth? Get the fukc out and go live in Afghanistan for awhile.
People of all nations immigrate to the greatest land in the world because they are free. The assault of 911, when bastards hijacked airplanes and tried to hijack American values still did not assail the fortitude of the American people. How many people are opting to disavow US Citizenship? Good riddance to those who do- like the President of American Greetings who just moved to Israel. Here’s an American Greeting for ya, don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
While 911 is the emergency dialing code in the U.S., and the date intentionally chosen to murder thousands of people, 999 is the emergency phone number in the U.K. One must have some concern for the possibility of another attack from Al Qaeda or some other whacko terrorist group.
With chaos raining and an order grounding all flight travel in the U.S after 911, “With the help of the FBI, the Saudis and the bin Laden family chartered an aircraft to pick up family members in Los Angeles, Orlando, and Washington, D.C. The bin Laden plane then flew the relatives to Boston, where — one week after the attacks — the group left Logan Airport bound for Jeddah.http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york091102.asp
Rest assured that there are members of the bin Laden family who would not hesitate take advantage of 999. The National Review at the time went on to note, “That family had been looked at very, very carefully in the two-year period leading up to September 11,” after the al Qaeda bombings of American embassies in East Africa, said retired CIA official Vince Cannistraro.”
Whether 999 is an auspicious omen or not, remains to be seen. Rather than succumbing to the the bullshit indoctrination of “Think Globally act Locally” you can visit an old fashioned sideshow on tour featuring several live human oddities at http://www.999eyes.com/.
“Number nine. Number nine.

From http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread330653/pg1 forum on 999- “as long as we are alive and kicking on this planet there will be an infinite amount of numerical and date related scenarios for one to ponder.”
There is always the 2012 doomsday conspiracy, when the long count calendar of the Ancient Mayans ends on December 21, 2012.
Mercedes Benz Military Vehicles are apparently headed to Camp Pendleton?
The Mercedes Bens G-Class was born initially as a military vehicle based on an order from the Shah of Persia back in 1970. And it just happened to become a civilian vehicle a decade later. But no matter what clothes it wears, it looks and works just right wherever it goes. Now though it’s going back to its roots by this fabulous 6×6 version made for the Australian army.
Three-axeled 6.5 tons monster, designed to accommodate up to 9 passengers with heavy luggage, the perfect tool for missions including unit transportation. The other half are long wheelbase 461 series with a huge cargo area which is 3.2 meters long and can carry stuffs up to nine tons. Mercedes G-Class 6×6 is painted in sand beige and looks truly striking.http://www.motorward.com/2009/06/mercedes-gclass-6×6-for-australian-army/ They are also referred to as Gelandewagen and similar vehicles can be found at http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/vehicles/mercedes-benz/.
Why are these “striking,” similar looking vehicles travelling down America’s highways. Martial Law? Pandemic Emergency Preparedness? Government Requisition? Foreign Army Transport? NLE Practice?
“With GM’s restructuring complete,Steven Rattner, whose leadership and vision were invaluable to the Auto Task Force’s efforts, has decided to transition back to private life and his family in New York City….Ron Bloom will assume leadership of the Task Force’s activities as the government transitions its role away from day-to-day restructuring to monitoring this vital industry and protecting the substantial investment the American taxpayers have made in GM, Chrysler, and GMAC.” http://michellemalkin.com/2009/07/13/alert-car-czar-steven-chooch-rattner-is-leaving/
“There is no checking with the government,” he[sic Bloom] said in relation to company leaders’ approach to running the businesses. Board members will not need to “look back” over their shoulder to make sure the government is approving all decision making, he said….The Treasury Department has committed over $60 billion in direct assistance to GM and Chrysler. Tens of billions more have been committed to Delphi Corp., GMAC LLC and suppliers.The Department of Energy has committed $25 billion in funding for auto makers to retool factories in order to develop and build fuel-efficient cars.”http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124873753926785139.html
In 1974, after a series of scandalous take-downs of pension and retirement funds during the Nixon era, Congress passed the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.ERISA says you can’t seize workers’ pension funds (whether monthly payments or health insurance) any more than you can seize their private bank accounts.And that’s because they are the same thing:workers give up wages in return for retirement benefits.http://www.alternet.org/workplace/140441/how_obama’s_’car_czar’_steve_rattner_is_bankrupting_gm/ Well, looks like you can under President Obama.
Somebody, some frigging place ought to look over our tax dollars and tell me why there is a Mercedes Benz Military Vehicle on a car hauler heading from South Carolina to California. WTF? Billions in auto bailouts and someone has the fucking audacity to order a fucking Mercedes Military Vehicle? Are they even U.S. Military? From Delphi to GM people are loosing pensions- blatantly breaking laws, while our Constitutional lawyer President Obama makes statements about racial profiling. X-CUSE Me but I think people looked blindly past your skin color when they voted expecting better than this.
Maybe these vehicles have something to do with the upcoming NLE 09 exercises. Yeah, that makes me feel all warm inside.
I thought “This land is your land, this land is my land…”.words and music by Woody Guthrie
“In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office – I see my people
And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’

This week in History on Sat., July 28, 1945 – In a ringing declaration indicating that America’s pre-World War II isolation was truly at an end, the U.S. Senate approves the charter establishing the United Nations.
If you are sitting down, “”Millions of men, women and children have died because nations took to the naked sword instead of the conference table to settle their differences.” The U.N. charter would provide the “foundation and cornerstone on which the international organization to keep the peace will be built.” from This Day in Military History http://tdiumh.blogspot.com/2005/07/july-28.html
Keep the peace indeed–now get those Mercedes Military Vehicles off of my U.S. Taxpayer paid roads, built upon U.S. Soil with American blood, sweat and tears.
In adulthood and in childhood you pick a side and hope you win; you choose your favorite sports team and cheer for them. The U.S. governement under Obama, is rooting for the whole world in negotiations and the U.S. taxpayers is fighting a loosing battle.
As an NRA badge carrying, conservative Republican, it would be a cold day in hell before I sent the Democrats one red cent of my money. America can’t always get what it wants, but by supporting two sides of a battle, it puts us in the middle where we are most likely get run over.
Billions of dollars has been poured into the Mideast and you know what? Most of the citizens and governments love our money, but hate America. The jihadists will stop at nothing and what does America do, send more money!
“U.S. Transfers $200 Million in Aid to Palestinian Authority, Clinton Says.
The United States has transferred $200 million in aid for the Palestinian people, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Friday. The money was part of the assistance package announced at an international donors conference in March. Clinton, who spoke after returning from a visit to India and Thailand, said the money had been transferred directly to the Palestinian Authority. She said that she had been assured that President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad “have put in place the foundations of a responsible, transparent, accountable government.” This had been verified, she said, by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and internal reviews.
Financing both sides of this battle, especially when our own economy lies in tatters is near traitorous. To think that either side, or even that America has a “responsible, transparent, accountable government” borders on being laughable, but it is not funny. Clinton also said, ” the United States would continue to engage Israel and the Palestinians in peace talks and press for a two-state solution, and called on the rest of the world to help boost the Palestinian economy.” Humph. How about someone sending a check to America? Maybe paying back the U.S. Taxpayer for WWI and WWII. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4757181.stm
Last I heard, The Palestinian Authority (Hamas) is classified by the United States as a terrorist organization.
I’m all for peace in an idealistic world. But, the world is filled with leaders who to torturous things to its own citizens and hold the threat of nuclear war out like the golden carrot to get more U.S. Dollars. Still we try to place nice in the world even though North Korea’s government-controlled KCNA news agency suggested that ‘she [sic Clinton] is by no means intelligent’. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1201630/Playground-scrap-Hilary-Clinton-says-North-Korea-friends-primary-schoolgirl.html Yet, we will continue to negotiate not only with NK but other states defined once, as members of the Axis of Evil.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Saturday the country would strike Israel’s nuclear facilities if Tel Aviv attacked the Islamic state, Reuters reported state television as saying “If the Zionist Regime (Israel) attacks Iran, we will surely strike its nuclear facilities with our missile capabilities,” Mohammad Ali Jafari, Guards commander-in-chief, said. Jafari said Israel was entirely within the reach of Iran. “Our missile capability puts all of the Zionist regime (Israel) within Iran’s reach to attack,” Jafari said. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534800,00.html
Clinton said this week a nuclear Iran could be contained by a U.S. “defense umbrella,” setting off tremors in the Middle East. Since making the remark on a television chat show in Thailand, Clinton has backpedaled, saying she was only restating existing policy and not referring to any sort of formal guarantees of protection under an American “nuclear umbrella.”
Will we ballyhoo the doctrine of “preemption” in negotiations? Mr. President Obama- yet another test for you. Perhaps both Clinton and Biden could shush for just a day.
How intelligent is our foreign policy when the chickens continue to try to cross the road from Israel, the fence stops them from laying eggs on the other side in Palestine- while Iran threatens to make a scrambled mess of the entire region?
