Ripped from today’s headlines: Back to school spree: Billionaire, feds give out $175M to aid neediest students around the state

 

   This is the making of a feel good story, but it has all the hallmarks of political intrigue, back alley deals, graft, corruption, that it’s not funny.

Let’s identify the Billionaire:   Billionaire philanthropist George Soros gave $35 million toward the program, with $140 million in federal stimulus funds routed through state government making up the rest.

Are red flags going up for you dear reader? They should be. No pun intended.

What was all the hu-bub about: A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday

Sounds nice, and what did the people have to say:

"It's free money!" said Alecia Rumph, 26, who waited in a Morris Park, Bronx, line 300 people deep for the cash to buy uniforms and book bags for her two kids.

"Rumors, there's always rumors," said Teresa Medina, who waited four hours at a Pay-O-Matic in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, to get $600 for her three teenagers - just in case they were true.

"Times are really tough right now. The situation is bad with money. So it's easy to want to use the money for other things," said Ana Barcos, 31, of Corona, Queens, where 200 people waited outside a check-cashing business.

"But if the money's supposed to be for my kids, then I will use it for my kids."

And the most classic line of the times: "Thank God for Obama. He's looking out for us."

How do you keep a populace mollified and voting for you?

Thousands of people lined up at banks and check-cashing shops to withdraw the cash that magically appeared on their electronic benefit cards.

The no-strings-attached money went to families receiving food stamps or welfare.

Now dear reader, here’s the quiet catch:

A.     $140 million in federal stimulus funds routed through state government

B.     Gov. Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg joined Soros to announce the payments at Public School 208 in Harlem, where the billionaire reminisced that as a penniless student in London, he survived because of a handout he got from Quakers.

Did you catch that: $140 million in federal stimulus funds routed through state government AND Gov. Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg joined Soros

Here’s the link to the full story: http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2009/08/12/2009-08-12_billionaire_feds_give_out_175m_to_aid_neediest_students_around_the_state_its_fre.html

    There’s no such thing as ‘free money’ that does not have attachments, conditions, and consequences.  

 

There is no surprise in the war of words, that the ‘Left’ comes out and uses language and descriptions wholly inaccurately. During the Presidency of George W. Bush, the ‘Left’ often called Bush himself a Nazi, they* called Republicans and Conservatives Nazi’s. What B.E.V. is going to do is ‘clear the air’ and make known who truly are the Nazi’s and rebuke several claims and false accusations by the ‘Left’.

    First thing we have to do dear reader is understand definitions. 

*They: B.E.V. refers to ‘they’ in this blog posting as the State Run Main Stream Media aka CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, NY Times, and more specifically the DNC/Democrats, Huffington Post bloggers, SEIU, AFL-CIO, Nancy Pelosi, and generally, supporters of Barack Obama. 

(Definition taken from: Encarta.MSN.com

Nazi: 

[Mid-20th century. < German, shortening of Nationalsozialist "national socialist" or Nationalsozialismus "national socialism"    

1. follower of Hitler: a member of the fascist German National Socialist Party that came to power under the leadership of Adolf Hitler in 1933 ( often used before a noun )

Definition taken from: merriam-webster.com

• Main Entry: Na·zi
• Pronunciation: "'nät-se, 'nat-"
• Function: noun
• Etymology: German, by shortening & alteration from Nationalsozialist, from national national + Sozialist socialist
• Date: 1930

1 : a member of a German fascist party controlling Germany from 1933 to 1945 under Adolf Hitler
2 often not capitalized a : one who espouses the beliefs and policies of the German Nazis : fascist b : one who is likened to a German Nazi : a harshly domineering, dictatorial, or intolerant person

The key to understanding the political entity of the word Nazi is that the two words National and Socialist are combined. This is what drives the programs and policies of a ‘Nazi’ government, whereas Hugo Chavez of Venezuela could be very easily identified as a Nazi with his programs of his government assuming control of all aspects of private business.

The second big definition being thrown around is “Brownshirts”

Definition source: thefreedictionary.com

Noun    1.         SASA - Nazi militia created by Hitler in 1921 that helped him to power but was eclipsed by the SS after 1943

a member of the Nazi SA which wore brown uniforms

Definition source: en.wiktionary.org

· A uniformed member of the German National Socialist Party.

· Any member of a national socialist party.

Definition source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownshirts 

*This is the most comparative description and definition of Brownshirts:

The De-Sturmabteilung.ogg Sturmabteilung (help·info), abbreviated SA (German for "Storm detachment" or "Assault detachment" or "Assault section", usually translated as "stormtroop(er)s"), functioned as a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s.

SA men were often called "brownshirts" for the colour of their uniforms; this distinguished them from the Schutzstaffel (SS), who wore black and brown uniforms (in comparison to Benito Mussolini's blackshirts). Brown-coloured shirts were chosen as the SA uniform because a large batch of them was cheaply available after World War I, having originally been ordered for German troops serving in Africa.

The SA was also the first Nazi paramilitary group to develop pseudo-military titles for bestowal upon its members. The SA ranks would be adopted by several other Nazi Party groups, chief among them the SS. The SA was very important to Adolf Hitler's rise to power, but was largely irrelevant after he took control of Germany in 1933.

The SA was organized throughout Germany into several large formations known as Gruppen. Within each Gruppe, there existed subordinate Brigaden and in turn existed regiment sized Standarten. SA-Standarten operated out of every major German city and were split into even smaller units, known as Sturmbanne and Stürme.

Although some of these conflicts were based on personal rivalries, there were also key socioeconomic conflicts between the SS and SA. SS members generally came from the middle class, while the SA had its base among the unemployed and working class.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned the health care debate up a notch Monday, penning a column along with her top deputy that questioned the patriotism of those disrupting town hall meetings to air their complaints.

Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer claimed such behavior is "simply un-American."

Starting back at the end of the 1990's, a fledgling B.E.V. recognized the coming storm of economic and social upheaval inside the United States and called it Third World USA.   Look at what our situation is now. (yes - I'm patting myself on the back)

B.E.V has several articles and blog notes warning about the Iranian ambition of a leading a reborn Persian Empire.  Now we read about a growing 'Madhism' movement. 

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=106046

Iran last week held a multi-day conference, bringing together politicians, mullahs, students – Shiite and Sunni alike – to plot what can be done on this earthly plane to hasten the coming of the anointed one, a messianic, endtimes personage known as the Mahdi.

It wasn't a conference covered by the western press.

But Joel Richardson, author of the new book, "The Islamic Antichrist," conducted interviews with participants of this year's conference, as well as previous conferences, which have been held for the last five years – all in a bid to lay the groundwork for an apocalyptic vision of the day Muslims will rule the world.

B.E.V. has warned directly about the ambitions of Hugo Chavez and his lust  for war:

 http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news/4657

Mérida, July 24^th 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) -- In response to Colombia's "unfriendly" decision to expand the U.S. military presence on Colombian bases, Venezuela will strengthen its fleet of armored vehicles and increase its military presence along its border with Colombia, President Hugo Chavez said on Thursday.

http://cbs13.com/national/hugo.chavez.venezuela.2.1121141.html

President Hugo Chavez told his military to be prepared for a possible confrontation with Colombia, warning that Bogota's plans to increase the U.S. military presence at its bases poses a threat to Venezuela.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.48695b3bcaf3273e2beb85abcb2dfe3d.861&show_article=1


   Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday charged that Colombian troops had entered Venezuela across the Orinoco River, a move he warned was a "provocation" by his Colombian counterpart Alvaro Uribe.

"We are not talking about a patrol with a few soldiers that strayed over a border" into Venezuela, he said.

"These troops crossed the Orinoco River in a boat and carried out an incursion into Venezuelan territory," Chavez said on his weekly television show "Hello President."

"When our troops got there (the Colombian troops) had already gone away," said Chavez, a leftist populist who has very strained ties with the conservative Uribe, the United States' closest regional ally.

B.E.V. has discussed the emergence of China as a global power.  They are going to continue to march forward, because they believe this is their 'time' to 'rule the World', indirectly or directly.  The  PRC has upgraded and improved it's military greatly, now it's time to put it all to one big test: 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/11/AR2009081100647_pf.html

- China's military launched war games Tuesday aimed at deploying forces at long distances, reflecting moves to ensure security in the restive western regions of Tibet and Xinjiang. The exercises will send 50,000 armored troops - the People's Liberation Army's "largest-ever tactical military exercise" - to unfamiliar areas far from their bases for two months of live-fire drills, state media reported.

  This will become a lesson's learned blue print for the PRC/PLA to begin launching actual military missions abroad.

 

   They are birds of a feather: 

   Iran's Judiciary under Ahmadinejad:   August 2009

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090809/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_iran_election

Iran's Prosecutor General Ghorban Ali Dorri Najafabadi called for those responsible for mistreating detainees to be punished, saying that the protesters weren't even meant to be taken to Kahrizak prison, which has been at the center of abuse claims.

    United Staes Judiciary under Obama  August 2009

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cia-interrogate9-2009aug09,0,34626.story

U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. is poised to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA abuses committed during the interrogation of terrorism suspects, current and former U.S. government officials said.


    Neither one has to do with real justice. Both are dog n' pony shows meant to strengthen the current leadership while suppress any opposition.   Iran is persecuting people trying to use a right to free speech against a tyrannical government.  The Obama USSA, (Union of Socialist States of America) is attempting to destroy the Central Intelligence Agency and spread fear among all other Intelligence communities to bow before him "without question" aka The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

    You notice that Obama is fleeing the United States now when the American People are beginning to raise their voices against his growing grip on the throat of Democracy. 
     Israel was told by the Obama Administration this past week not to take any military action against Iran, that the U.S. would take military action instead....after: 
1. Diplomatic engagement as far as it will go, giving it a chance to take off up until early September.
2. Failing diplomacy, the phased introduction of increasingly harsh sanctions against Iran.
3. If Iran continues to forge ahead with its nuclear and missile development, the US will resort to its military options.
 

   Do you really believe that Obama would launch any kind of military strike against Iran?  Yeah, me neither.  I really love number two: "Failing diplomacy, the....."phased"....."introduction".....of increasingly harsh sanctions against Iran." 

  "We are going to stop buying your oil"...oh, we don't buy their oil.
   "We are going to sto the imports of stratgeic minerals"..oh, they get their own from other sources.
    We are not going to ship any more cotton for you to make burkas"....OH YOU INFIDEL PIGS!! DEATH TO AMERICA.   I can see that would shake them up. 
     Phased, introductions....grasp those two words carefully dear reader.  That means...b.s. upon b.s.  and no meaning nor substance.  All the while this is going on..Ahmadinejad is having his Republican Guard and paid Russian, North Korean missile makers finish up the last small details of the nuclear missiles that he'll let fly at Israel before the year is out.   He'll do it especially before the next Congressional vote in 2010 when many of the anti-American Leftist will no doubt be booted out of office.  Ahmadinejad knows he has a small time line before the balance of political power in the U.S. reverts back to more Patriotic American's who support Democracy's such as Israel. 
   
     Do not get lost in my side bar, though it is related....Obama and Ahmadinejad are moving their Judiciary's down the same path. 

   Enjoying a peaceful morning in the United States thankful to the men and women of our Armed Forces, Intelligence Service*, and Law Enforcement Agencies, my better half and I were watching Fox & Friends (to get a 'fair and balanced' news view) this morning.  A story popped up about "The nation's drugmakers stand ready to spend $150 million to help President Barack Obama overhaul health care this fall, according to numerous officials..".  
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/08/08/drug-industry-helping-obama-overhaul-health-care/

   That did not make sense at first, since most Medical personnel are against the Obama "State Run" Health Care plan that is being shoved down our throats.  Most sane people realize that this bill is a huge step towards Socialism in the United States.  Control a person's health, you control the person. 
    Insurance Companies are against this bill since it would destroy their privately built under Capitalism ways of life.  Doctor's are against this bill since it would destroy their way of life, their ability to treat, how to treat, basically, it would affect their entire existence unless it was under Government control. 
     Just about every freedom loving American is against this Socialist monster Health Care Bill that no in the Senate has read called Obama Care. 
    So why?   So why would the Drug Companies be giving $150 MILLION dollars to support it? 
   Tic toc  tic toc.......times up.

   For the same reason why Lockheed Martin, Gruman, Dyn Corps, and most defense related industry 'support' big Government....for big fat Government contracts and big fat wads of tax payer money. 
   If Obama Care gets shoved, rammed, pushed through, then the Government begins control of the Medical industry.  The Socialist Government will then be telling which patients can have what, when, where, how.  But the Socialist Government will have under it's thumb,  millions of Americans in it's huge Socialist HMO bureaucracy, and all of these minions will need their anti depressants, their high blood pressure, diabetes, etc Medications..and Erectile Dysfunction pills too.  All of these millions of people will require millions of drugs and since it's under a Government control medical system, Government contracts will be required to fill these prescriptions. 
    That's why big Pharmacy is supporting Obama.  And Pelosi calls the Insurance industry greedy.  Ha.  She'll be getting her cut too, probably in post plastic surgical meds and a nice chunk in that off shore untraceable account full of U.S. Tax Payer dollars, along with the rest of them supporting this insane road to Socialism. 

From ABC News: 

Sonia Sotomayor becomes 111th Supreme Court justice; court's first Hispanic, third woman

From CBS News:

Sotomayor Becomes First Hispanic Justice

Oath Administered to Obama Nominee; N.Y. Judge Now Third Woman to Take Seat on Supreme Court

From CNN:

Sotomayor takes oath as Supreme Court justice

Sonia Sotomayor made history today when she was sworn in as the nation's first Hispanic Supreme Court justice


From NY Times:

Sotomayor Sworn In as Supreme Court Justice

WASHINGTON — Justice Sonia Sotomayor took the judicial oath on Saturday, becoming the first Hispanic and third woman to serve on the Supreme Court in United States history.


....Finally, from  the 'shivers running down our legs' totally in-the-pocket of the White House NBC/MSNBC:

Sotomayor sworn in as Supreme Court justice

Saturday’s ceremonies make judge the first Hispanic justice

If you, or I, the average American citizen, were to break any laws....especially any laws that are ethically in question, we not only get arrested and thrown in jail...we get buried under the jail.   But not so with our DEMOCRAT controlled Congress who cover up for each other in this very clear example: 

Panel: Senators' VIP loans broke no ethics rules

WASHINGTON – The Senate ethics panel cleared Sens. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad Friday of breaking rules by getting mortgages through a VIP program, but it scolded them for not being more careful to avoid the appearance of sweetheart deals.

The Select Committee on Ethics told Dodd of Connecticut and Conrad of North Dakota in separate letters that it found "no substantial credible evidence" after a yearlong investigation that their mortgages from Countrywide Financial Corp. broke Senate gift rules. The two influential Democrats got their mortgages through a VIP program for those designated as "friends" of then-Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo.

   They were WHAT???!!:   " it scolded them for not being more careful "

   You or I dear reader, would be sitting in jail this weekend.

    And the DNC, Obama Adminstration, and State Run Media wonder why people are becoming so angry and outspoken at Townhall meetings.  It's exactly because of this kind of cover up , above the law actions by the U.S. Congress that is angering Americans across the land.  The anger will continue because of this, the anger will grow because it is being ignored by the Politicians and the marginalized by the State Run Media.  This is going to reflect at the ballox box, this is going to reflect upon the revenue's of the State Run Media, for if America isn't returned to The People by ballot, mark my words, it will be returned to the People by force.  You can shove, push, and deny The American People for only so long. 

On Tuesday, the White House posted a blog that asked supporters to report "fishy" information they come across about the health insurance debate. The appeal was made at the end of the blog, which showed a video that countered a set of online clips that made it look like Obama wanted to eliminate private coverage. 

Senate to consider $2B 'clunkers' refill

WASHINGTON – The Senate is poised to add $2 billion to the popular "cash-for-clunkers" program after lawmakers agreed to vote on the government car incentives and give shoppers until Labor Day to make a deal on more energy-efficient models.

Senate poised to make history with Sotomayor vote

WASHINGTON – Sonia Sotomayor stands on the verge of making history as the Supreme Court's first Hispanic justice, despite staunch opposition from Republicans who call her ill-suited for the bench.

   
    Congress...especially 'Democrats' and spineless Republican RINO"s, where is that first $1 BILLION dollars for the 'cash for clunkers'?   Where?  And you want more?  More tax dollars to go where?  Your tucked away bank accounts!?  No wonder you rescued Citibank!!!   No wonder you have a tax cheat as Secretary of Treasury.  

     Sonia Sotomayor......gets a 'seat' on our Highest Court, our last line of legal defense...because, only because...she's Hispanic??!!  Talk about racism.  The leading 'reason' we the People keep hearing from the State Run Main Stream Media (CNN,ABC,CBS,CNN, NYTimes) for nominating Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court of the United States...is because she'll be the first Hispanic. 
    That is not the American way.  That is Socialism, Nationalist Socialist politics.  Oh...I'm wrong...I think not!!

Hispanic senator warns Republicans on Sotomayor vote

WASHINGTON (AFP) – The only Hispanic Democratic US Senator, Robert Menendez, and leaders of major Latino groups warned Wednesday that Republicans will "pay a price" for voting against Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.  "I believe the Republicans will pay a price for saying 'no' to this judge," and to President Barack Obama's policies in general, Menendez said in Spanish at a press conference ahead of Sotomayor's all-but-certain confirmation.

Menendez also accused Senate Republican leaders of doing everything they could to oppose the confirmation of Sotomayor, and called opposition to her despite her qualifications "a slap and an offense to the Hispanic community."

Janet Murguía, head of the National Council of La Raza, head of the National Council of La Raza, said Sotomayor's nomination had galvanized and united the diverse US Hispanic population and cautioned Republicans about the coming vote.

    Those reason smack of racism, pure and simply.  For the reason for voting for Sonia Sotomayor because she is Hispanic will now set a presedence that all future candidates across the entire political/judical spectrum must NOT BE Caucasian, otherwise it will be considered 'racist'.   Anyone that supports the reason to vote for Sonia Sotomayor based upon 'race', and citing the fact that she is Hispanic are themselves...racist.  For they a judging upon race, not upon merit.

Expansion of Islamic Saudi Academy in Virginia Approved, Outraging Opponents

A controversial Saudi-funded academy that teaches strict adherence to traditional Islamic law has been given the green light to expand its Virginia campus — a decision by local officials that infuriates opponents who say the school's teachings are anti-American.

Here's another story the State Run (Main Stream) Media will not tell you.

Smuggling Tanks Through Kenya

July 31, 2009: Last September, a Ukrainian ship carrying a cargo of over 2,000 tons of weapons (including 33 T-72 tanks) to Kenya, was seized by Somali pirates, who promptly demanded $35 million for the ship. This was negotiated down to $20 million them finally, $3.2 million in ransom.

But while the negotiations, which took three months, were underway, questions were raised about where those tanks were headed. The paperwork said Kenya, and the Kenyans said the tanks were for their army. But the Kenyans use American and British armored vehicles. When the tanks finally arrived in Kenya, they were taken to an army base. But satellite photos showed that those tanks were moved several times, until they crossed the border into South Sudan. Two other ships carried more tanks to Kenya, and eventually about a hundred T-72s ended up in South Sudan.

What happened here is not unusual. Bribes were paid to get the tanks (and dozens of artillery pieces, plus thousands of tons of ammo, tools and spare parts) into Kenya and thence into South Sudan. All this was strictly illegal because of a UN arms embargo on Sudan. But the (largely Christian and black) people of southern Sudan have been fighting the (largely Moslem and Arab) people of northern Sudan for decades. There is a peace deal in effect between the Sudan government, and the southern rebels. This deal calls for a vote in the south, to decide if the people there want to remain part of Sudan, or split off and form a new government.

The big issue here is oil, which has been discovered near the northern border of "South Sudan." The Sudanese government is not trusted by the southerners, who expect an invasion if the vote calls for independence. The 2005 peace deal stipulated that the vote would have taken place by now, but has been delayed several times by the Sudanese government, and is now scheduled for April of next year. The South Sudanese are arming to maintain their official independence, in the face of a possible Sudanese invasion.

The Sudanese have been buying Chinese tanks, and have several hundred of them. Most are older models, about equal to the T-72s the southerners have. The Sudanese army has a bad track record when it comes to maintaining armored vehicles. So it is not expected to be capable of moving, and using, an overwhelming number of them in the south. Thus the new South Sudan tank force, if used by well trained crews, could prevent the Sudanese army from just blitzing their way through the south. The South Sudanese are getting covert help from Israel, and overt help from other Western nations. Sudan is an ally of Iran, and thus not very popular anywhere. That makes it easier for the South Sudanese to get along with a little help from their many new friends.

    I wonder how much of kickback Obama is getting from this.  No doubt our Intelligence apparatus knew about this via HUMINT and SATINT.   But Obama did nothing.....just let these highly destructive Main Battle Tanks make their way into the hands of a Islamic terrorist who are murdering Africans by the thousands.  Now they have high tech top of the line battle tanks.  As for the article saying that the Sudanese Army has a bad track record of maintaining and using armor....that was then..this is now..and now...Al Qaeda is strongly entrenched in Sudan/Somalia..which means money, manpower, expertise. 

  B.E.V. was surveying through other websites this even and came across an interesting discussion via a Military forum.  The U.S. Military, that group of men and women the Obama Adminstration, DNC, and Liberal's in general despise?  Yeah, that group.  Here is an awesome story that has not been told by the State Run Media....

"Jackie Kennedy had a staff of five, Barbara Bush four, two were part time for letters and invitations."

“In my own life, in my own small way, I have tried to give back to this country that has given me so much,” she said. “See, that’s why I left a job at a big law firm for a career in public service, “ Michelle Obama."
