usmc fight for survival:
"The Navy and Marine Corps were determined to scuttle this legislation. Marine generals created a secret office code named the Chowder Society to lobby behind the scenes, (in opposition to their President and Commander in Chief), and thwart the unification bill before Congress.
The Commandant of the Marine Corps even made an impassioned speech before Congress to plead for his separate service.
It worked. Congress rejected the Truman administration’s unification bill, and instead passed the National Security Act of 1947. This Act guaranteed separate services, with their own independent budgets, and was a victory for the Navy and Marine Corps.
In addition, the Marines succeeded in having their separate force structure written into the language of the legislation. It is very unusual for Congress to dictate the actual composition of a military service. Yet the National
Security Act mandates that the Marines Corps must maintain “not less than three combat divisions and three aircraft wings and such land combat, aviation, and other services as necessary to support them“.
President Truman was furious, and military professionals were appalled. General Eisenhower characterized the Marines as 'being so unsure of their value to their country that they insisted on writing into the law a complete set of rules and specifications for their future operations and duties. Such freezing of detail...is silly, even vicious.'"

Seeds of Destruction: The Diabolical World of Genetic Manipulation
Seeds of Destruction: The Diabolical World of Genetic Manipulation: "This skillfully researched book focuses on how a small socio-political American elite seeks to establish control over the very basis of human survival: the provision of our daily bread. 'Control the food and you control the people.'
This is no ordinary book about the perils of GMO. Engdahl takes the reader inside the corridors of power, into the backrooms of the science labs, behind closed doors in the corporate boardrooms. The author cogently reveals a diabolical world of profit-driven political intrigue, government corruption and coercion, where genetic manipulation and the patenting of life forms are used to gain worldwide control over food production. If the book often reads as a crime story, that should come as no surprise. For that is what it is.
Engdahl's carefully argued critique goes far beyond the familiar controversies surrounding the practice of genetic modification as a scientific technique. The book is an eye-opener, a must-read for all those committed to the causes of social justice and world peace."

"I'll never forget my last visit to lovely Hinesville, Georgia. For it was there that I learned a valuable lesson, one I shall never forget: in a police state, we're all criminals.
Think about it — how many laws have you broken today? This week? This month? Have you changed lanes without a turn signal? Exceeded the posted speed limit? Hired a neighborhood kid to cut your grass and then paid him under the table? Engaged in commerce with someone who is in the country illegally? Bought lemonade from an unlicensed 'dealer' in the form of an innocent child?"

Statement by Governor Jan Brewer - Federal Operation Fast and Furious placed Arizonans at risk
Statement by Governor Jan Brewer - Federal Operation Fast and Furious placed Arizonans at risk
Office of the Governor State of Arizona ^ | June 15, 2011 | Janice K. Brewer
Posted on Thursday, June 16, 2011 12:27:40 PM by neverdem
"I am outraged by findings in a new Congressional report that alleges federal agents were instructed to stand aside and do nothing as up to 2,000 weapons were illegally purchased in Arizona and resold. In many cases, the end result appears to have been the arming of violent drug cartels south of the border.
"During Operation Fast and Furious in 2010, according to this report, agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms were ordered to simply track these „straw buyer‟ weapons sales but not intervene. Longtime federal agents have now testified before Congress that allowing these weapons to leave the premises, a practice generally known as 'gun walking,' was a marked departure from accepted law enforcement practices.
"ATF agents lost track of many of these weapons, including assault weapons and .50 caliber sniper rifles. A significant number undoubtedly found their way to Mexican drug cartels. Tragically, two AK-47s traced back to Operation Fast and Furious later turned up at the crime scene near Rio Rico, Arizona, where Arizona Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered by bandits. Authorities are still looking for the murder weapon.
"If the allegations contained in this Congressional report are accurate, then Operation Fast and Furious endangered the lives of innocent people on both sides of the border. The people of Arizona deserve answers from the Department of Justice and ATF as to how this could have been sanctioned, let alone encouraged. We may never know how many weapons illegally sold as part of this operation later turned up at a crime scene. But the connection between this failed federal operation and the death of Border Patrol Agent Terry is clear. The Congressional report puts it best: 'The death of Border Agent Brian Terry was likely a preventable tragedy.'"

Obama’s ineligibility: A willfully ignorant Congress
Obama’s ineligibility: A willfully ignorant Congress:
"Make no mistake about it. Congress has chosen cowardice and political expediency over honesty and the rule of law.
Congress knows that Barack Hussein Obama is ineligible for the Presidency according to the natural born citizen clause of the Constitution. They know that there is sufficient evidence of felonies to warrant an investigation.
They will do nothing. They will continue the cover-up. They are afraid for their jobs because they are complicit in the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people."

'You Can No Longer Think of Yourselves as Peace Officers': Militarizing 'Lockdown High' by William Norman Grigg
'You Can No Longer Think of Yourselves as Peace Officers': Militarizing 'Lockdown High' by William Norman Grigg:
"It was Friday the 13th, and Skylar Walters thought he was going to die.
The 16-year-old inmate of Orangeville Jr.-Sr. High in Illinois was in gym class when a deranged-looking man barged into the school and began firing what appeared to be a handgun at several of the other students.
'I started praying to God and saying my last words,' Skylar later recalled. 'I was scared. I didn't know what to do.'
As the intruder fired his gun, he called out the name of a particular student; the youngster quite sensibly fled the building. Other kids 'were just running everywhere and crying and hiding,' Skylar recounted. Some of the panicking schoolkids probably attempted to call or text their parents to describe the horror unfolding in front of them. They didn't know that each of the parents had been instructed not to answer if his child issued a desperate plea for help.
That last sadistic touch is what distinguished the May 13 'active shooter drill' in Orangeville from countless other performances of its kind staged in schools across the Soyuz by the Police State Play Actors' Guild.
Most of the time, the kids for whose supposed benefit those drills are choreographed – and the parents responsible for their care, education, and upbringing – are let in on the joke."

PAUL: Obama's unconstitutional Libyan war - Washington Times:
"President Obama's decision to involve U.S. military forces in an unconstitutional, unexplained mission in Libya has left many Americans seeking answers and action from Congress. Why has Mr. Obama ignored the public and congressional questions regarding his actions? Why did he thrust our American soldiers into this battle without the consent of Congress? While Senate Democratic leadership has so far not acted, these are questions that the House of Representatives is attempting to have answered.

"We are destroying the effectiveness of our military by:
• Allowing homosexuals to serve.
• Permitting women to serve.
• Becoming “policeman” of the world.
• Requiring suicidal rules of engagement for our soldiers.
• Running the John Wayne types out of the services.
But I can’t “prove it.”
Islam is not a “religion of peace.”
• Our prisons are being used to recruit future American jihadists.
• Many Muslim soldiers are not loyal to America.
• In 20 years Muslims will demand the application of Sharia Law in American cities.
• The “war on terror” is, at its core, a religious war.
• Islam is incompatible with democracy."

NWV News - Obama's Law Enforcement Out of Control, Say Americans:
"Even after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, 50% of all aliens who were free pending trial disappeared, according to figures provided in the judge’s report. Between 2005 and 2006 the number of aliens who failed to appear at their court hearing grew to 59%.
The Government Accountability Office's report on visa holders states that up to four million aliens remain in the country illegally once their visas expire.
Further, officials at Judicial watch revealed that the DOJ deceptively reported the figure as “only” 39% by combining aliens who were free pending trial with those in custody who were forced by authorities to appear in court. That allowed the so-called bail-jumpers to appear as a smaller part of a bigger overall figure."
