When Did Tony Soprano Take Over The White House?
By Ernest Stewart
The precedent set by the killing of al-Awlaki establishes the frightening legal premise that any suspected enemy of the United States - even if they are a citizen - can be taken out on the President's say-so alone. Part of the very concept of citizenship is the protection of due process and the rule of law. The President wants to spread American values around the world, but continues to do great damage to them here at home, appointing himself judge, jury, and executioner by Presidential decree.
When Nazi leader and Holocaust mastermind Adolf Eichmann was convicted and executed by the Israeli government in 1962, it was after he was captured, extradited, and tried. Respect for the rule of law never has been for the protection of monsters like Eichmann or al-Awlaki, who should meet their just fate - but for the protection of the vast majority of innocent citizens who should never become subject to mere governmental whim. ~~~ U.S. Congressman Ron Paul

After last week, you may, be asking when was it exactly that Tony Soprano took over the White House? Did you intend to elect a Gangsta, America? When Obamahood put out a contract on an American citizen, without a charge, evidence, a trial, and a conviction, we're told that it was done for convenience; we couldn't catch him; ergo, we murdered him, but I don't believe convenience was a major player in that decision. I think it was about reaching out for more power over us all. If today no one arrests Barry for murder, who will Barry murder tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after that? Who will President Perry (the killer) kill?
I'm not defending Anwar, nor will I prosecute him, as I have no facts at my disposal, and neither does anyone else -- they're all top secret! Nor will anybody else see them, as Barry says there is not a single judge in all of America who can be trusted to see the evidence -- so you certainly can't be trusted. Evidence? We don't need no stinking evidence!
Hell, I got in an argument about this with a friend who is a lawyer, an officer of the court who has sworn to uphold the law, who has made it his life's work to not only to obey the law, but to see that others do, too, and he was jumping for joy, wallowing in the blood, excited to near orgasm that Anwar al-Awlaki was murdered. Since there was no evidence of any kind presented, like with Osama, no habeas corpus; in fact, no evidence presented to a court, not even the FBI charged bin Laden with 9/11, and certainly no proof of death, we need no evidence about Anwar, either. Lawyers have always been shysters, but generally not blind to reality! They may be crooked as can be, but they still know the truth, or, until now -- that was my assumption!
Sure, Anwar MAY have been the SOB that the government said he was, hell maybe worse, and the planet MAY be a better place without him? But the matter that matters is that we're supposed to be a nation of laws -- of checks and balances. You may recall that we fought two major wars with the British to keep from having Kings and Queens dictate our laws. Supposedly, American law applies equally to all Americans, without exception, whether President or cleric, but it's becoming more obvious that it doesn't. Of course, it's always been this way; that great genocidal maniac George Washington put out hits on whole Indian nations for their lands, towns, and farms. In fact, George had become the richest man in America from stealing from the tribes; so Obama's murder of Anwar is nothing new, but because it's being done so openly, Barry has no fear of being held accountable; he's above the law! You should be afraid, America! You should BE VERY AFRAID of your own government!
In Other News
By the time this sees the light of day, we will have another major occupation going on, this time in Washington D.C.. Methinks we finally have learned our lessen about how to get attention to our cause! As they did in Washington in 2001, as tens of thousands marched by, the media turned a blind eye, because we were there and then we were gone -- so now we're here to stay! Also, in the last ten years, the bottom has dropped out of the newspaper business, and for those struggling to stay alive, ignoring what's gone viral and all over publications on the Internet will certainly have a bad effect on your bottom line -- no matter who is pulling your puppet strings!
That's the nice thing about working on the Internet, I have but three advertisers, all of whom are behind what we are doing 100%, and won't leave us dangling, as we are all in this together: ergo, they can't get to us the way they would normally, i.e., going after our sponsors! So, I can tell you the truth without the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head. Of course, Barry could put out a contract on me either by spook or drone, but he hasn't quite got to that stage as yet; apparently, that's not going to be here for another 14 months!
While "Occupy Wall Street" is more or less a happening without leadership, the occupation of Washington is made of a federation of folks under the umbrella of October 2001.Org with a long list of famous and not-so famous folks, but has no single spokesman. While this is slightly confusing, for it to really work, it has to be this way so everyone in America can join in, regardless of their political leanings. Occupying Washington is important, as the city is a partnership between the banksters and politicians that have caused all of our current, and many of our past, problems. With 60 million Americans unemployed or underemployed, the potential for building another Hooverville on The Mall is outstanding. However, protestors beware; you may recall what happened when that went on too long for the power elite. The last time General "Dugout Doug" MacArthur sent in tanks and calvary to destroy Hooverville with the charge of the horse soldiers being led by Major Dwight David Eisenhower. The Army was used against American men, women and children! Ike's only combat duty in his entire career. Which begs the question, how did Ike go from a Lt. Colonel at the beginning of the war to a five star general without the combat infantry badge? I wonder which unknown major will lead the next charge against US citizens for daring to use their Constitutional-guaranteed rights to assemble and peacefully protest, or will they just use a couple of drones and a half dozen Hellfire missiles? It couldn't happen? Of course, it could; Barry now has the right, or at least he thinks he does, to murder US citizens by simply calling them terrorists. Ask those two U.S. citizens in Yemen that Barry murdered last week if that could happen! Oh yeah, you can't; because Barry murdered them!
To those of you who are going, good luck, kick ass, take names, and fight the good fight, and remember the whole world is watching our "American Spring!"
And Finally
In these daze of constant change, isn't it good to see some of the old values are still with us? No, not really! For example, if you are black or brown way down yonder, then you're in for a heap of trouble, boy, and they do mean "boy." Yes, racism is still alive and well down in Dixie! Yes, I know, no sh*t!
That little nest of vipers commonly called Arkansas was in the spot light once again. Can I get a Hot Damn? Or a Yeee Hawww?
Just a few burning crosses southwest of Little Rock (where they use to have to bring out the US Army to allow kids to go to school) is Malvern, Ark. home of pee wee football and a rule to keep those pesky darkies in their place if they achieve and excel in sports. It's called the "Madre Hill Rule" for former student Madre Hill, who got out of Malvern after being held back by this act of infamy, and went on to star at the University of Arkansas and for the Oakland Raiders, amongst other pro teams, before becoming a coach. Madre was so good, and made those white kids look so bad, that they came up with this rule to hold him down by making him leave the game after two touchdowns; the rule was retired after Madre graduated and went on to junior high; well, that is, until school Principle Terri Bryant and Demias Jimerson came upon the scene.
Principle Bryant is also in charge of the Pee Wee league in Malvern and when Demias began to do what Madre had done decades before she whipped out the darkie rule and Demias took his seat on the bench. Did I mention that this "rule" has only applied to black children? So, you know what I did? No, let's not see the same hands every time! That's right, I sent Terri an email:
Hey Terri,
Boy, did you screw up, huh? Whenever a black child achieves something over the white kids, it's time to whip out the "darkie rule!" Oh, I know; it's not about that. Really, who else has this been applied to? Oh yeah, just one other student, the student that rule is named after, who by a strange coincidence is also a black achiever. Imagine that! What are the odds? Has there ever been any white kids that the "Madre Hill rule" was applied against? Funny thing that, huh? Yes, another black child taught a valuable lesson about the red neck, dark ages, racist, south. The next time ya'll want to secede, we're going to let you and good riddance to you ignorant, fascist, bastards!
Anything to say for yourself, Terri? I'm sure my readers would really like to hear your defense, that is, if you have one! And "I was only following ze orders" doesn't work anymore. Still, I must admit, Terri, that I do admire your shiny-new Jack Boots and that Rethuglican armband is to die for, quite literally!
Sincerely,

That's my note to Terri; if you'd like to share your thoughts with her, too, just write her at: tlbryant@malvernleopards.org.
Keepin' On
Well, we came right down to the wire, but didn't make it! However, we did come within $250 of reaching our goal, thanks to Marc from Florida and our good neighbor to the north, Ernie from Ontario! Thanks, guys; we'll spend it wisely. The $250 we're short, I've borrowed from a friend who'll let me pay him back at $50 a month.
Considering how bad off our readership is, it's a bit amazing that we did manage to raise $5150 of the $5400 needed to pay half our bills for the year. We'd like to thank our sponsors and advertisers who picked up the other half! We'd like to thank everybody who helped us out in this fund raising drive as I personally know how hard money is to come by in this day and age! Thanks, Ya'll!
In the past year since I got run out of North Carolina, it was only the kindness of our readership that kept me afloat and fighting the good fight for us all! If for whatever reason, you didn't contribute to the cause, but would like to, please send us what you can, and we'll put it on next year's bills, because it never ends; it never ends! Once again, thanx, and it's back to the trenches; ya'll keep your heads down!

"The move comes a little more than two months after the Obama administration toughened its stand on medical marijuana.
For two years before that, federal officials had indicated they would not move aggressively against dispensaries in
compliance with laws in the 16 states where pot is legal for people with doctors' recommendations." - msnbc.com

CALIF. POT DISPENSARIES TOLD BY FEDS TO SHUT DOWN -
</mail/u/0/s/?view=att&th=132dcc86a24fd949&attid=0.4&disp=emb&zw>
Lisa Leff reports:
"Federal prosecutors are cracking down on some pot dispensaries in California, warning the stores that they must shut down in 45 days or face criminal charges and confiscation of their property even if they are operating legally under the state's 15-year-old medical marijuana law.
"In an escalation of the ongoing conflict between the U.S. government and the nation's burgeoning medical marijuana industry, at least 16 pot shops or their landlords received letters this week stating they are violating federal drug laws, even though medical marijuana is legal in California. The state's four U.S. attorneys were scheduled Friday to announce a broader coordinated crackdown.
"Their offices refused Thursday to confirm the closure orders. The Associated Press obtained copies of the letters that a prosecutor sent to at least 12 San Diego dispensaries. They state that federal law 'takes precedence over state law and applies regardless of the particular uses for which a dispensary is selling and distributing marijuana.'
"'Under United States law, a dispensary's operations involving sales and distribution of marijuana are illegal and subject to criminal prosecution and civil enforcement actions,' according to the letters signed by U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy in San Diego. 'Real and personal property involved in such operations are subject to seizure by and forfeiture to the United States ... regardless of the purported purpose of the dispensary.'

Calif. pot dispensaries told by feds to shut down
U.S. prosecutors send letters even though state law allows
By LISA LEFF

SAN FRANCISCO —
The Department of Justice issued a policy memo to federal prosecutors in late June stating that marijuana dispensaries and licensed growers in states with medical marijuana laws could face prosecution for violating federal drug and money-laundering laws. The effort to shutter California dispensaries appeared to be the most far-reaching effort so far to put that guidance into action.
"This really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. The administration is simply making good on multiple threats issued since President Obama took office," said Kevin Sabet, a former adviser to the president's drug czar and a fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Substance Abuse Solutions. "The challenge is to balance the scarcity of law enforcement resources and the sanctity of this country's medication approval process. It seems like the administration is simply making good on multiple statements made previously to appropriately strike that balance."
Greg Anton, a lawyer who represents dispensary Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana, said its landlord received an "extremely threatening" letter Wednesday invoking a federal law that imposes additional penalties for selling drugs within 1,000 feet of schools, parks and playgrounds.
The landlord was ordered to evict the 14-year-old pot club or risk imprisonment, plus forfeiture of the property and all the rent he has collected while the dispensary has been in business, Anton said.
Marin Alliance's founder "has been paying state and federal taxes for 14 years, and they have cashed all the checks," he said. "All I hear from Obama is whining about his budget, but he has money to do this which will actually reduce revenues."
Kris Hermes, a spokesman for the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, said the warnings are part of what appears to be an attempt by the Obama administration to curb medical marijuana on multiple fronts and through multiple agencies. A series of dispensary raids in Montana, for example, involved agents from not only the FBI and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, but the Internal Revenue Service and Environmental Protection Agency.
Going after property owners is not a new tactic though, Hermes said. Five years ago, the Department of Justice under President George W. Bush made similar threats to about 300 Los Angeles-area landlords who were renting space to medical marijuana outlets, some of whom were eventually evicted or closed their doors voluntarily, he said.
"It did have an impact. However, the federal government never acted on its threats, never prosecuted anybody, never even went to court to begin prosecutions," Hermes said. "By and large, they were empty threats, but they relied on them and the cost of postage to shut down as many facilities as they could without having to engage in criminal enforcement activity."
Besides the dozen dispensaries in San Diego and the one in Marin County, at least three shops in San Francisco already have received closure notices, said Dale Gieringer, director of the California chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The San Diego medical marijuana outlets put on notice were the same 12 that city officials sued last month for operating illegally, after activists there threatened to force an election on a zoning plan adopted to regulate the city's fast-growing medical marijuana industry, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said. A judge on Wednesday ordered nine of the targeted shops to close, while the other three shut down voluntarily, Goldsmith said.
Duffy, the U.S. attorney for far Southern California, planned to issue warning letters to property owners and all of the 180 or so dispensaries that have proliferated in San Diego in the absence of compromise regulations, according to Goldsmith.
"The real power is with the federal government," he said. "They have the asset forfeiture, and that means either the federal government will own a lot of property or these landlords will evict a lot of dispensaries."

EXTREMISTS ON PARADE
Meet the Obama link to Wall Street terror
Radical's plan involves strategy to collapse stock market
________________________________

Wall Street
Stephen Lerner, a controversial anti-capitalist SEIU organizer, is one of the forces behind the protests on Wall Street and nationwide, according to quotes obtained by a socialist activist who doubles as a Washington Post columnist.
WND was first to report Lerner was the brain behind some of the economic protest templates being used by the Occupy Wall Street campaign.
Lerner recently laid out a mass economic protest plan intended to bring down the stock market, and boasted his plan could be used to cause a new financial crisis. His ideology prompted some conservative critics to go so far as to label him an economic terrorist.
Writing in the Washington Post on Tuesday, columnist Harold Meyerson, the vice-chair of Democratic Socialists of America, quoted Lerner describing how a coalition is fomenting the current economic protests.
Here's the rundown on Obama's ties to "communists, socialists and other anti-American extremists" – all in "The Manchurian President."
Lerner described himself as part of that coalition, referring to the organizations behind the demonstrations as "we."
Lerner told Meyerson: "It's a confluence of planned and unplanned demonstrations … . We build on each other. We go ping-ponging back and forth."
The Occupy Wall Street unrest first started Sept. 17 with a protest called the "Day of Rage."
Planners used their own website – USDayofRage.org – which told protesters to "bring your own tent." That website is now a sister site for the Occupy Wall Street initiative.
The website is not specific about the purpose of the protests other than calling for "integrity" to be "restored to our elections."
The site accuses corporations of using "money to act as the voices of millions, while individual citizens, the legitimate voters, are silenced and demoralized by the farce."
In March, ACORN founder Wade Rathke announced what he called "days of rage in 10 cities around JP Morgan Chase." Rathke was president of an SEIU local in New Orleans.
The planned Sept. 17 protest seems to have been the culmination of Rathke's efforts.
WND reported how those efforts were organized by Lerner, an SEIU board member who reportedly visited the Obama White House at least four times.
Lerner is considered one of the most capable organizers of the radical left. He recently organized the SEIU's so-called Justice for Janitors campaign.
As part of his planned protests, Lerner called for "a week of civil disobedience, direct action all over the city."
His stated aim was to "destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement."
In an interview about the Wall Street protests, Lerner outlined his goals: "How do we bring down the stock market? How do we bring down their bonuses? How do we interfere with their ability to, to be rich?"
'Economic terrorist'
Lerner came under fire in the conservative blogosphere and digital news in March after he laid out an economic plan some claimed amounts to economic terrorism.
In an oped titled "This can be our moment," published in the radical In These Times magazine, Lerner calls on followers to "go on offense" and "make Wall Street pay for the trillions it stole from us."
Lerner outlined his campaign to "stoke simmering discontent into concrete, concerted direct action to challenge corporate extremism."
Lerner's campaign was intended to sow "the seeds of a movement that turns the tables on them [Wall Street]."
The Blaze.com first posted a video of Lerner addressing a conference in which he stated the aim of such an economic campaign would be, among other things, to "bring down the stock market."
Lerner continued, "There are actually extraordinary things we could do right now to start to destabilize the folks that are in power and start to rebuild a movement."
During the presentation, Lerner called for a mass strike by mortgage payers that, he said, could cause a new financial crisis.
Stated Lerner: "And so the question would be, what would happen if we organized homeowners en masse to do a mortgage strike. Just say if we get, and, and, if we get half a million people to agree, we'll all not, we'll agree we won't pay our mortgages, it would literally cause a new financial crisis."
Lerner's plan had him dubbed an "economic terrorist" in headlines by writers for American Thinker and a multitude of blogs. TheBlaze.com owner Glenn Beck used the "economic terrorist" label for Lerner, as well.
Forecast for American cities: Confrontation, intimidation?
There are other indications a coalition of radicals and unions is planning chaos using the current economic crisis.
WND reported that a slew of extremist organizations, some tied to Obama, are preparing protests to coincide with major NATO and G-8 summits in Chicago next May.
Foreshadowing possible violent confrontations, some of the same radical trainers behind the infamous 1999 Seattle riots against the World Trade Organization have been mobilizing new protest efforts geared toward world summits as well as the current economic crisis.
The NATO and G-8 summits are not the only focus of radical groups.
WND reported Heather Booth, director of a Saul Alinsky-style community organizing group, the Midwest Academy, was among the main speakers at the "2011 State Battles Summit" in June at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill Hotel in Washington, D.C.
Booth's husband, Paul, also was a speaker at the union summit. Paul Booth co-founded Midwest Academy in the 1970s.
The four-day summit was organized by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, or AFSCME, with participation from the AFL-CIO, the nation's largest union.
An official schedule for the event, obtained by WND, declared: "Our union is under unprecedented attack in every state. Extremist politicians want to weaken us as we head into 2012. Their tactics include budget cuts, layoffs, privatization and the denial of our very collective bargaining rights."
Continued the flyer: "New challenges require new energy and new thinking. We encourage union activists to attend this conference and bring their creative ideas on how to overcome the challenges ahead."
Heather Booth participated in a panel entitled, "Our Message, Alliances and Best Practices."
Paul Booth delivered the opening remarks for the union conference.
Another speaker at the union event was John Podesta, who co-chaired President Obama's transition team.
Podesta is president of the Center for American Progress, which is heavily influential in advising the White House. The center is funded by philanthropist George Soros.
Mideast revolutions coming to U.S.?
Citizen Action of Wisconsin, an arm of Booth's Midwest Academy, is part of the Moving Wisconsin Forward movement, one of the main organizers of the major Wisconsin protests in February, as WND first reported.
The protests were in opposition to Gov. Scott Walker's proposal for most state workers to pay 12 percent of their health care premiums and 5.8 percent of their salary toward their own pensions.
WND reported at the time speakers at the rallies likened the Wisconsin protests to the ongoing revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa while calling for similar uprisings in the U.S.
'Redistribution of wealth and power'
Obama himself once funded Midwest Academy. He has been closely tied to Heather Booth.
Booth has stated building a ''progressive majority'' would help for ''a fair distribution of wealth and power and opportunity."
Her husband Paul is a founder and the former national secretary of Students for a Democratic Society, the radical 1960s anti-war movement from which unrepentant radical Bill Ayers' Weather Underground splintered.
In 1999, the Booths' Midwest Academy received $75,000 from the Woods Fund with Obama on its board alongside Ayers, In 2002, with Obama still serving on the Woods Fund, Midwest received another $23,500 for its Young Organizers Development Program.
Midwest describes itself as "one of the nation's oldest and best-known schools for community organizations, citizen organizations and individuals committed to progressive social change."
It later morphed into a national organizing institute for an emerging network of organizations known as Citizen Action.
Discover the Networks describes Midwest as "teach[ing] tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation."
WND first reported the executive director of an activist organization that taught Alinsky's tactics of direct action, confrontation and intimidation was part of the team that developed volunteers for President Obama's 2008 campaign.
Jackie Kendall, executive director of the Midwest Academy, was on the team that developed and delivered the first Camp Obama training for volunteers aiding Obama's campaign through the 2008 Iowa Caucuses.
Camp Obama was a two-to-four day intensive course run in conjunction with Obama's campaign aimed at training volunteers to become activists to help Obama win the presidential election.
Also, in 1998, Obama participated on a panel discussion praising Alinsky alongside Heather Booth, herself a dedicated disciple of Alinsky.
The panel discussion following the opening performance in Chicago of the play "The Love Song of Saul Alinsky," a work described by the Chicago Sun-Times as "bringing to life one of America's greatest community organizers."
Obama participated in the discussion alongside other Alinskyites, including political analyst Aaron Freeman, Don Turner of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Northwestern University history professor Charles Paine.
"Alinsky had so much fire burning within," stated local actor Gary Houston, who portrayed Alinsky in the play. "There was a lot of complexity to him. Yet he was a really cool character."
