New Obama Orders on Transparency, FOIA Requests
January 21, 2009,
In a move that pleased good government groups and some journalists, President Obama issued new orders today designed to improve the federal government's openness and transparency. The first memo instructs all agencies and departments to "adopt a presumption in favor" of Freedom of Information Act requests, while the second memo orders the director of the Office of Management and Budget to issue recommendations on making the federal government more transparent. His memo on government transparency ... directs the yet-to-be-named chief technology officer to work with the OMB director to develop an "Open Government Directive" in the next four months. Just in case new OMB director Peter R. Orszag needs any suggestions, the Sunlight Foundation -- a group dedicated to improving government transparency -- has several. Each agency should do an audit of its information and data how it makes it available, [director Ellen] Miller said. The administration should also redefine the definition of "public information" to mean that government information is not public until it is posted online in an easy-to-download format. "The devil is in the details," Miller cautions. Obama today also froze the salaries of senior White House staffers and issued executive orders on presidential records and new ethics guidelines for presidential appointees.

Defense Department Establishes Civilian Expeditionary Workforce
Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon
The directive emphasizes, however, that volunteers be sought first for any expeditionary requirements, before requiring anyone to serve involuntarily or on short notice. Overseas duty tours shall not exceed two years.
Webmaster's Commentary:
So, without any vote in the congress on this, the DOD has finally found their "end run" to create a new draft.
And one thing that isn't stated in this Directive is, what happens when someone is chosen for "involuntary service" declines to serve, a trip to the military brig until they "come to their senses?
I would really like to have a candid conversation with Defense Defense Secretary England about that one.
To those of you with kids or family members of appropriate military age, this may well be a time to talk to your congress representatives, and ask some real questions about Defense Department Directive 1404.10, and what the penalty for non-compliance will be, if someone is requested to serve involuntarily, and they decline.
You - and the people you love - deserve to know.
HCR6: Jeffersonian principles, no mandatory national service! TIME TO DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND!
Webmaster's Commentary:
The mandatory National Service act is a violation of the 13th Amendment.
Worse, it is a continuation of the creed that We The People must make do with less so that government may have more. Having taxed us into poverty to pay for "services", the government will now dump the performance of those service back onto the people.

New Bill Will Turn Old Military Bases Into FEMA Camps
Posted by Shattered Paradigm On Tuesday, January 27, 2009
On January 22nd, Representative Alcee Hastings [D-FL] introduced a new bill in the U.S. House of Representatives called the National Emergency Centers Act (also known as HR 645).
If Congress passes this bill, the Department of Homeland Security will be REQUIRED to establish national emergency centers (FEMA camps) on closed military bases.
For years, mainstream apologists have tried to deny that the government was putting together a network of FEMA detention camps across the
You can see the entire text of this new bill here:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-645
Let's take a look at some of the specific language in this bill.....
"In accordance with the requirements of this Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall establish not fewer than 6 national emergency centers on military installations."
This law would require that AT LEAST 6 FEMA camps be established on military installations around the
"(4) to meet other appropriate needs, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security."
This language gives the Secretary of Homeland Security the authority to use these FEMA camps for any purpose that he or she wishes. That is a truly sobering thought.
".....capable of meeting for an extended period of time the housing, health, transportation, education, public works, humanitarian and other transition needs of a large number of individuals affected by an emergency or major disaster"
Note that the law would require that these FEMA camps be able to house (or imprison?) large populations for an extended period of time. There camps are not just being set up as command and control centers - they are being designed to hold "a large number of individuals".
".....capable of hosting the infrastructure necessary to rapidly adjust to temporary housing"
Once again we see that these FEMA camps specifically have the purpose of "housing" people.
(c) Location of National Emergency Centers- There shall be established not fewer than one national emergency center in each of the following areas:
(1) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions I, II, and III.
(2) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IV.
(3) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions V and VII.
(4) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region VI.
(5) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Regions VIII and X.
(6) The area consisting of Federal Emergency Management Agency Region IX.
Please note that the law REQUIRES that at least one of these FEMA camps be established in specific FEMA regions.
Which FEMA region do YOU live in?
If the Secretaries of Homeland Security and Defense jointly determine that there is not a sufficient number of closed military installations that meet the requirements of subsections (b) and (c), the Secretaries shall jointly designate portions of existing military installations other than closed military installations as national emergency centers.
This part of the bill actually requires the use of an active military base for a FEMA camp if there are not enough closed military bases to do the job.
Where do you think the FEMA camp closest to your house will be established?
Are you ready to go to a "national emergency center" when the government declares martial law?
What will your response be if they come to put you on a train that will take you and your family to one of these camps?
But you know what one of the saddest things is?
The machinery of martial law is being put into place, and the American people are hardly uttering a peep in protest.
The Reality Of FEMA Camps And The Martial Law Apparatus
There is no doubt that the government is preparing a nationwide system of detention facilities under the guise of emergency management that could be used to house large quantities of Americans during a time of civil strife. Many think that it is a conspiracy theory, but it is not. It is a fact that the federal government has many facilities right now that can be used to house large numbers of political dissidents if the need arises.
Church Organization Refuses To Divulge If Pastors Are On FEMA Payroll
A large church organization has refused to divulge how many of its pastors are on the FEMA payroll, after a member expressed concerns about religious leaders being used to condition their congregation to accept the declaration of martial law.
Pentagon ups public relations spending
As it fights two wars, the Pentagon is steadily and dramatically increasing the money it spends to win what it calls "the human terrain" of world public opinion. In the process, it is raising concerns of spreading propaganda at home in violation of federal law.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Not to mention that this is OUR money they are spending to lie to us.
Pentagon clashes with media over control of information
"You want to make sure you edit it in the right way,"
Critics say the purpose of such violent material is not to inform the public about what the military is doing, but to promote it. Public affairs officers argue that they are in a battle with insurgents to shape the public perception of the wars they are fighting, and they will use every means available to push the military's version of events.

Turley: Most people abroad will view Bush as a war criminal
"Are we literally looking at a possibility," Maddow asked, "where administration officials from this [previous] administration cannot travel abroad to the other 145 countries that have signed the torture treaty because they might get arrested?"
"Most certainly," Turley replied. "The status of George Bush is not that different from Augusto Pinochet. They've both been accused of running a torture program. And outside this country, there's not this ambiguity about what to do with a war crime. ... Most people abroad are going to view you not as former President George Bush, they're going to view you as a current war criminal."
"And they're going to view us as an outlaw regime for not arresting him on our own soil," Maddow remarked.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Unless, and until, every culpable Bush administration official is arrested and tried for their crimes,our country's basic moral fiber continues to be violated at a very fundamental level.
The use of torture is absolutely antithetical to the every premise articulated in the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
Torture cannot possibly be practiced by a country which publicly states its faith in democracy and human rights: it's just that simple.
But unfortunately, ecause both sides of the isle in Congress were complicit in enabling Bush in order not to appear "wimps" in the alleged "War on Terror", I wouldn't bet on any substantive investigation of these crimes any time soon.

Child porn scourge creates more suspects than can be arrested
Police battling the scourge of child pornography are busting more and more people for trading in the horrific images and while there are tens of thousands of known suspects, Canadian authorities lament they don’t have the time or resources to investigate them all.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Now, I will be the first to admit that there are some very sick individuals who do some very strange things to little kids (especially among the clergy), but when I hear the word "resources" it sounds like the true scale of the problem is being exaggerated to protect someone's budget from the axe during these difficult economic times.
I recall the brouhaha about Satanic Ritual Abuse in the 1980s and 1990. A media-fed panic swept the nation that children were being abducted and in some cases intentionally bred for the purposes of use in rituals to Satan. Despite many sensational stories in the media, and huge sums of money budgeted for the investigators, not a single case of actual Satanic Ritual abuse was ever found.
One of the most famous cases of accusations of child molestation, including Satanic Ritual abuse, involved the
After six years and $15 million, the case ended with no convictions. In hindsight, it was recognized that this had been a witch-hunt in the truest Medieval sense of the word. Popular imagination had run wild, and the people paid to find molesters had seen molesters at every turn, whether they were truly there or not.
In hindsight, it was clear that the children had simply gone along with whatever the interrogators suggested had happened, more in the spirit of a game than our of malice. That no evidence was ever found off the secret underground tunnels that figured in the lurid stories should have been a warning but it was not. The trials proceeded to their humiliating end.
Now, as I said above, I understand that there really are some very sick people out there. But when I hear claims that there are simply too many of them to arrest without more resources, I have to wonder if this is a problem with the economy, rather than with the real crime.
In her book, "Who Stole Feminism" Christina Hobbs Sommers revealed that while rape is and remains a real crime, there was no explosive epidemic of rape in the 1990s. The so-called rape "crisis" was a manufactured issue used to fill talk shows, sell books, and mostly to justify funding for campus rape centers and rape counselors, most of whom sat idle a great deal of the time. Like the Satanic Ritual Abuse panic, the Rape Crisis resulted in a flood of false accusations of rape which had the long term result of making it more difficult for real rape victims to get be believed. But the money flowed to the self-appointed saviors and that was the important thing.
So, I have to view the huge numbers of offenders mentioned in this article and wonder if (not unlike the global warming scam) the situation is being exaggerated to make a grab for more public funds, or at least dodge the budget ax as the economy slides.
If there is one lesson to be learned from the real Medieval witch hunts, it's that when you pay people to see witches, they will believe witches truly exist, and that bystanders, rather than miss out on the fun, will gladly join the hysteria.

Peter Schiff: Stimulus Bill Will Lead to "Unmitigated Disaster"
The fiscal stimulus bill being debated in Congress not only won't help the economy, it will make the recession much worse, says Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital.
Schiff scoffs at the notion the economic decline is starting to level off and concedes no government action means a "terrible" recession. But the path of increased government intervention will lead to "unmitigated disaster," says Schiff, who gained notoriety in 2007-08 for his prescient calls on the housing bubble and U.S. stocks.
Republicans’ audacity boggles the mind
Call it what you want — nerve, gall, chutzpah — but congressional Republicans have it in spades. Our country just went through a horrendous eight years with President George W. Bush, supported and enabled by congressional Republicans, who among other wrong choices took us to an unnecessary war in Iraq and ran the national debt up by more than $5 trillion.
Now that President Barack Obama is attempting to use a stimulus package to dig the country out of the economic crisis that Bush left for him, they’re all upset, claiming he’s spending too much and objecting to parts of the package.
Webmaster's Commentary:
This is easy to understand. When it was Bush's bailout, Republican cronies got the cash. Now that it's Obama's bailout. Democratic cronies will get the cash.
But from where We The People sit, it's the same raw deal.
ARE THE STATES REALLY BROKE OR HIDING ASSETS?
At least ten years ago, a man named Walter Burien began exposing something called a CAFR: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. Walter managed to get on a SF radio show hosted by my friend, Geoff Metcalf. It was a real eye opener. Try as we all did, not one newspaper in the State of California would expose the truth of how the taxpayers were being fleeced. Nor would 99% of the radio stations statewide. I guess they all love being flogged every April 15th to reward the thieves in the state house.

The Growing Army of Angry Men Whose Lives Have Been Destroyed by the Federal Government
One of the hardest things to deal with in the current economic depression is the disgusting hypocrisy of the U.S. congress, the new president, and the members of the Federal Reserve System. It is one thing to be told, as we all are, that we must hand over fat wads of our hard-earned money to these warmongering and thieving snakes or face jail terms, but one feels a whole new level of revulsion when these people make statements to the effect that they, and they alone, are in a position to "save the economy" by "creating jobs." These statements are made by people who have done virtually everything in their power to destroy the American economy over the last few decades, but who have now proclaimed themselves to be our saviors.
Webmaster's Commentary:
That is the scam of government. They CREATE the "problem" then sell us the solution to it. Whether it was the "Red Menace", or the "War On Drugs" or the "Rape Crisis" or "Saddam's Nooks", or "The War On Terror", or "Human Caused Global Warming", it is the same swindle over and over again; create the illusion of a problem, then offer to sell us the solution in exchange for higher taxes and blind support for the candidate/agenda.
