Fast & Furious. A Planned Diversion for Gun Control Plot. President Obama and Hillary Clinton Using Eric Holder as a Puppet.

The following is Eric Holder talking about brainwashing the American people into thinking differently about guns so that they can put their gun control plot into place...then, Fast & Furious happens to come out and no one can get their stories straight. This plot of Fast & Furious had to come to Brian Terry's death because it only validates the need for gun control and this only calls out to the American people the need, further brainwashing them into the control of the puppeteers. The citing of Holder in contempt was only a minor setback.    


"As expected, the Justice has informed Congress that the U.S. attorney will not prosecute Attorney General Eric Holder for contempt, despite Thursday's House vote. 


"The longstanding position of the Department of Justice has been and remains that we will not prosecute an executive branch official under the contempt of Congress statute for withholding subpoenaed documents pursuant to a presidential assertion of executive privilege," says Deputy Attorney General James Cole in a letter to the House speaker, John Boehner. 


The letter notes that during the Reagan administration, DOJ took the position that the contempt statute could not constitutionally be applied to an official who asserts the president's claim of executive privilege. That policy was first articulated in a memo written by Ted Olson when he was at DOJ in 1984. 


 Cole writes that the position has been asserted several times since then, most recently during the Bush administration in 2008. He concludes by saying that the Justice Department has determined that Holder's response to the House committee subpoena "does not constitute a crime" and the Department will not refer the matter to a grand jury "or take any other action to prosecute the attorney general." ~ MSNBC


This is not a surprise, due to the fact that Obama used to teach classes on Constitutional Law, however, not as a tenured Professor, as he tried to make it seem on the campaign trail...


"Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor” out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you’ll find that there is … you’ll get quite an emotional response.


UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer." From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined." ~ FactCheck


The following is a 1995 video of Holder talking about the brainwashing of Americans about their attitude toward guns.




"HOLDER, Your Fired !! WTF, let's not forget DOJ whistle blower J. Christian Adams who quit his job over the Black Panther voter intimidation case, when he testified that under Holder the DOJ is operating an anti-White agenda in the civil rights division. He also released a book called "INJUSTICE" where he describes in detail how the DOJ under Obama & Holder have become radicalized with an anti-white agenda. Not to mention his war on Arizona & other states for enforcing existing federal Law,WTF!!" ~ posted under the following video.

Video: How did Barack Obama Know About 'Fast and Furious' Before Eric Holder?

This video shows conflicts between Eric Holder and Barack Obama on when each claimed to know about 'Fast and Furious.' Going by the video, even the CNN news anchor wonders how did Obama know about 'Fast and Furious' before Attorney General Eric Holder claims he learned about it. 







Does anyone really believe that Barack Obama "heard it from the news"? We already know that Holder lied ... he's already admitted that although he had previously said he first learned about Fast and Furious at the beginning of the year - he should have said in May that his knowledge of the sting dated back a couple of months rather than weeks.

""Thinktown USA" puts together facts and a timeline of our awesome government's illegal, deadly, and - uh, secret - gun running operation that's killing Mexicans and Americans. For something that no one knows about, they sure are avoiding answering any questions about it!" ~ from the following poster

CBS News Reporter Says White House Screamed, Swore at Her Over Fast and Furious


http://www.infowars.com/fast-and-furious-22-shocking-facts-about-the-scandal-...


http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/cbs-news-reporter-says-white-house-scream...


The Fast and Furious scandal, in which the Justice Department knowingly gave Mexican criminal gangs thousands of guns, just keeps escalating. The latest development centers around whether or not Attorney General Eric Holder lied to Congress about having knowledge of the controversial gun trafficking operation. Recently released documents say Holder was briefed about the operation long before he told the Judiciary Committee he was first aware of what was going on. (Holder now claims he misunderstood the question was being asked.)


What's more, CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson -- who's been covering the scandal from the beginning -- says in an interview on the Laura Ingraham Show today that the White House and Justice Department have taken to screaming at her for reporting on the story. You can listen to the full interview below, but here are the key excerpts from Attkisson:


In between the yelling that I received from Justice Department yesterday, the spokeswoman--who would not put anything in writing, I was asking for her explanation so there would be clarity and no confusion later over what had been said, she wouldn't put anything in writing--so we talked on the phone and she said things such as the question Holder answered was different than the one he asked. But he phrased it, he said very explicitly, 'I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.'


And:


Ingraham: So they were literally screaming at you?


Attkisson: Yes. Well the DOJ woman was just yelling at me. The guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me. 


[Laura: Who was the person? Who was the person at Justice screaming?] 


Eric Schultz. Oh, the person screaming was [DOJ spokeswoman] Tracy Schmaler, she was yelling not screaming. And the person who screamed at me was Eric Schultz at the White House."


Finally, Attkisson notes that the White House is claiming that a thorough investigation of the scandal is unwarranted:


[The White House and Justice Department] will tell you that I'm the only reporter--as they told me--that is not reasonable. They say the Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, the New York Times is reasonable, I'm the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I'm unfair and biased by pursuing it.

"Vanilla" Change.

I am so glad that Obama plans to make sure that "Every credit card issuer has to issue a plain vanilla easy-to-understand, simplest possible credit card...that the average user can feel comfortable with." After all, the butterscotch crunch version was so hard to understand!

Sure, there needs to be reform. That's okay as long as I can charge whatever I want and have the tax payer pay for it, just like my mortgage (I wish!). I think I may just go out and buy some new furniture today so that I can be sure that everyone else in the country can pay for it.

Do I think that perhaps there may be some issues with loopholes in the credit card company policies within every credit card company in the US? Perhaps. However, have people been taking advantage of the system? Of course they have.

What do you bet that the new legislation will help those who have taken advantage of the system, over spending and then being irresponsible when paying their bills. Let me give it to you in the "vanilla" version. They buy and then don't pay. I know it's hard to understand for us "average" people.

There is an argument that the policies may reduce the amount of credit offered to lower-income individuals. Wouldn't that be just too bad? I mean, everyone should have the same stuff in the same amounts shouldn't they? Differences in the way people live are highly over-rated anyway. People should get paid the same no matter what job they get income from, right? Doctor-Fast Food Grill Cook. It's all the same, right? I hope the legislation comes down that we all have to drive the same battery powered cars, wear the same uniform colors, and that we must bow down to the Obama-God so that we don't have to think for ourselves and therefore don't have any consequences for our actions.

Amen.

U.S. and the former U.S.S.R.

The following is an excerpt from "A Train To Potevka" by Mike Ramsdell. Read it and think about how similar the situations are becoming between the old USSR and the current United States.

"Stirred by the winds of change from Govachev's reforms and seventy years of Communist oppression, the USSR was coming apart at the seams. The government was losing its strangle hold over the people, the economy was in shambles, and food was becoming scarce throughout the country. Out-of-control inflation had mad the Russian ruble worthless. Overnight tens of millions of pensioners had lost their life's savings. ... Driven in recent years by a reawakening of nationalism within the Soviet Republics against the oppressive policies and iron-fisted control of Moscow, the walls of the infamous Iron Curtain were being torn down ... the government's major political factions were positioning themselves one against the other, desperately trying to hang on to their power and authority. ... A once mighty and proud nation, the USSR had sunk into a state of despair, paralyzed by the fear of what the future might bring"

Sure, the United States has not reached the level of the USSR yet. However, at the rate of speed at which our nation's structure is being fractured, it will not take long for us to reach the depths of despair known well by the people of the former Soviet Union.

What are you willing to do to make it so that our great nation doesn't crumble?

Political Corruption Defined.

Political Corruption:


"Political corruption is the use of governmental powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by private persons or corporations not directly involved with the government. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties.

All forms of government are susceptible to political corruption. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. While corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and trafficking, it is not restricted to these organized crime activities. In some nations, corruption is so common that it is expected when ordinary businesses or citizens interact with government officials. The end point of political corruption is a kleptocracy, literally "rule by thieves".

The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. Certain political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some countries, government officials have broad or poorly defined powers, and the line between what is legal and illegal can be difficult to draw.

Bribery around the world is estimated at about $1 trillion (£494bn), and the burden of corruption falls disproportionately on the bottom billion people living in extreme poverty" Wikipedia


Cronyism:

"Cronyism is partiality to long-standing friends, especially by appointing them to positions of authority, regardless of their qualifications.

Cronyism exists when the appointer and the beneficiary are in social contact; often, the appointer is inadequate to hold his or her own job or position of authority, and for this reason the appointer appoints individuals who will not try to weaken him or her, or express views contrary to those of the appointer.

The economic and social costs of cronyism are paid by society. In the form of reduced business opportunity for the majority of the population, reduced competition in the market place, inflated consumer goods prices, decreased economic performance, inefficient business investment cycles, reduced motivation in affected organizations, and the diminution of economically productive activity. A practical cost of cronyism is manifest in the bad workmanship of public and private community projects. Cronyism is self-generating, cronyism then begets a culture of cronyism. This can only be apprehended by a comprehensive, effective, and enforced legal code, and empowered government agencies who can effect prosecutions in the courts." Wikipedia

Corruption:

"Corruption is essentially termed as an "impairment of integrity, virtue or moral principle; depravity, decay, and/or an inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means, a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct, and/or an agency or influence that corrupts."[1]

Corruption, when applied as a technical term, is a general concept describing any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose." Wikipedia

If you are under the impression that corruption and cronyism don't happen at your local level, think again. Get involved in your government so that there will be less corruption and cronyism. Stand up for your rights as a citizen of your city, state and country.
