Georgia Judge Issues Default Judgement Against Obama, Usurper’s Name will Not Appear on Georgia Ballot
Judge Malihi, a state court Judge in Georgia, talked to all attorneys in chambers before the ballot challenge hearing this morning, and Malihi said he is going to enter a default Judgement against Obama and recommend that Obama’s name not be on the Georgia ballot. All of the attorneys expressed a desire to put an abbreviated streamlined case on the record and the judge agreed.
How does the mainstream media spin this?
The Georgia Secretary of State has already indicated that he will follow the judge’s recommendation. That means that Obama will not get any popular vote or electors from the great state of Georgia.
Congratulations to all freedom-loving Americans.
Now, if more than 28 state will do this, anyone can run against Obama and reclaim the White House from these murderous criminal running the show.
41 Obama White House Aides Owed $831,000 in Back Taxes
Here are a few lines from the President’s State of the Union Address:
“Let’s never forget: Millions of Americans who work hard and play by the rules every day deserve a government and a financial system that do the same. It’s time to apply the same rules from top to bottom: No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts,” he said. “An America built to last insists on responsibility from everybody.”
Remember these words as you read this article.
You and I sweat each year about this time trying to figure out the tax code and ways to keep as much money as we can. Then we have to listen to President Obama telling us that we are not paying our “fair share.”
Now we learn why the President wants more tax dollars from us. His own aides owed the IRS close to one million dollars in back taxes at the end of 2009. Remember Timothy Geithner? He is the current United States Secretary of the Treasury. He was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He didn’t pay Social Security and Medicare taxes for several years while he worked for the International Monetary Fund. He didn’t have to. He’s special. He knows what’s best for us, but he doesn’t have to abide by the same rules.
To show you how stupid Republicans are, here’s what Orrin Hatch said when he learned about the back taxes issue. “I still support him. He’s a very competent guy.” Next time you’re up for an IRS audit, give Orrin a call and ask him if he’ll support you.
The Georgia Ballot Challenge
On January 25, 2012, two letters starting making the rounds, concerning three lawsuits filed alleging Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to appear on the Georgia primary ballot.
The three attorneys involved in the three lawsuits are Mark Hatfield, Van Irion and Orly Taitz. The cases brought by Hatfield and Irion allege that Obama is not eligible as his acknowledged father, Barack Hussein Obama (Sr), was a British subject at the time of Obama’s alleged birth on 4 August 1961, allegedly in Hawaii; that, as such, Obama does not meet the requirements of natural born citizen as required by Article II, Section 1, Clause 5, United States Constitution. The other case, brought by Taitz, alleges that Obama has presented forged birth certificates, a forged selective service registration, and is using at least one social security number that is not his. At an early court hearing, Judge Malihi agreed to separate the cases but set the hearing date for all three for January 26, 2012, with Hatfield and Irion presenting their cases, then Taitz presenting her case.
The attorney representing Barack Hussein Obama against these allegations in the Georgia Administrative Court is Michael Jablonski of Atlanta. On January 25, 2012, the day before the scheduled hearing, Jablonski sent a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp in which he basically excoriated Attorney Taitz, questioned the legality of holding the hearing, requested the SOS suspend the hearing, and further, stated that neither he nor defendant Obama would be present at the proceedings on January 26, 2012. His letter can be read in full here: http://www.orlytaitzesq.com/?p=30746.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp responded to Jablonski, rejecting his allegations and stating that if Jablonski and his client (defendant Obama) failed to participate in the proceeding on January 26, 2012, he and defendant Obama would do so at their own peril. That letter can be read in full here: http://obamareleaseyourrecords.blogspot.com/2012/01/obamas-attorney-jablonski-slapped-down.html.
There have been rumors making the rounds about subpoenas issued … to the State of Hawaii … to Obama to appear on January 26, 2012 at the proceedings. How true these rumors are is hard to know. I question the legitimacy of the claim of a subpoena issued by the State of Georgia to the State of Hawaii, allegedly concerning documents held by the State of Hawaii regards Barack Hussein Obama, as a Georgia state court would not have that authority, only a federal court would have that authority. The State of Georgia could, however, issue a subpoena for Obama to appear as the defendant.
For three years, American citizens have been trying to confirm Obama’s eligibility to the office of president. For three years, American citizens have been thwarted in that effort by courts who refused to hear cases based on merit, instead ruling that the plaintiffs had no standing.
How to spot a potential false flag attack
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, which are designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as if they are being carried out by an enemy.
Basically, it is a way for governments to ‘play victim’ in order to mask their own aggression.
History is replete with such operations, but it’s getting harder and harder for governments to conduct false flag operations because they’ve run the play over and over again.
People are paying more attention now, and we’ve seen it before…
USDA Hikes Discrimination Awards For Hispanics
The U.S. government’s minority cash giveaway for “discriminated” farmers has reached a new level, with an improved process that makes it faster and easier for Hispanics to get awards much larger than previously announced.
The goal is to make amends to those who suffered discrimination when seeking farm loans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the agency charged with doling out billions in reparation money. A few years ago black farmers got $1.25 billion to settle discrimination allegations and last summer the Obama Administration announced a new pot of “compensation” cash—$1.33 billion—for women and Hispanics.
Originally, under that plan, Hispanics who felt they were victims of USDA discrimination could get up to $50,000 to make up for their suffering. To get the word out the feds launched an impressive bilingual advertising and public relations campaign that includes national outreach tours by top USDA officials as well as Justice Department bigwigs because that agency is sort of overseeing it.
This month the USDA quietly increased the amount of money that each discriminated Hispanic farmer can collect by five times, to $250,000. The agency also announced an “updated claims process” that simplifies and speeds things up so the victims can get their government cash faster. Victims are encouraged to participate in the simplified process and are assured that there is no filing fee or other costs.
The updated process is part of the USDA’s efforts to ensure that all its “customers” have equal access to its programs, according to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. It’s also part of the president’s mission to end discrimination at the agency. “The Obama Administration has made it a priority to resolve all claims of past discrimination at USDA, and we are committed to closing this sad chapter in USDA’s history,” Vilsack said.
Under Obama, the agency has served as a key tool to help minorities through a variety of costly programs, mainly the First Lady’s $4.5 billion effort to bring affordable healthy foods to inner cities nationwide. Under the plan, the USDA has dispersed huge sums of money to community groups that promise to make available affordable healthy foods in poor neighborhoods.
The agency has also allocated $8.8 million to train “underserved” Hispanic students to someday work for it. The money is paying for programs that tackle global food security and hunger, climate change, bio-based energy development, childhood obesity (Michelle Obama’s favorite topic) and food safety. In all, 20 “Hispanic-serving institutions” got grants to help the targeted population “develop a skilled American work force” that will someday join the USDA ranks.
Of Course: Maryland Dem Gov Calls for Big Tax Hikes
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley last week proposed a budget that would raise taxes by $311 million.
From the Washington Post:
The Democrat outlined a $15.3 billion general fund budget plan that includes about $311 million in new revenue. About $182 million will come from capping income tax deductions and phasing out exemptions. [...]
The governor’s plan would cap income tax deductions at 90 percent for incomes above $100,000 and 80 percent for incomes above $200,000.
It also would reduce exemptions from $2,400 to $1,200 per person for singles who make between $100,000 and $125,000 and couples who make between $150,000 and $175,000. Exemptions would be eliminated for singles who make more than $125,000 and couples with incomes above $175,000. [...]
About $19 million will come from aligning the state’s cigarette tax with other tobacco products. Tax on cigars and smokeless tobacco is 15 percent of wholesale, which was comparable to the 36 cents per pack cigarette tax in 1999. The governor’s proposal would make it 66 percent of wholesale, which would make it comparable to the present $2 per pack cigarette tax.
The proposal also would require online sellers to begin collecting sales tax, which the governor projects would raise about $19 million, but there are questions about enforcement.
Republicans have ripped O’Malley, who earned an “F” for his fiscal stewardship from the CATO Institute back in 2008, for the proposal. “The governor is balancing the budget on the backs of the middle class and small businesses at a time when we should be looking for ways to make them thrive,” said House minority leader Del. Anthony O’Donnell, according to the Post.
However, the tobacco tax increase portion of O’Malley’s plans looks more likely to constitute a tax increase on lower income earners, who use products like smokeless tobacco more than wealthier Marylanders.
In 2007, O’Malley pushed a $1.4 billion tax increase plan that involved corporate, personal income, sales and cigarette tax hikes. He subsequently abandoned tax increases in favor of cutting spending, but critics charge he now seems to be going back to his old ways.
O’Malley is also borrowing more to spend on construction projects, so should he succeed in raising taxes, it may not be for the last time.
Military Training Exercises in L.A.
Most Americans would consider the following report to be nothing out of the ordinary. But for those in the know, given what has transpired over the last several years, it raises alarm bells:
LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Joint military training exercises will be held evenings in downtown Los Angeles through Thursday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The LAPD will be providing support for the exercises, which will also be held in other portions of the greater Los Angeles area, police said.
Training sites “have been carefully selected to ensure the event does not negatively impact the citizens of Los Angeles and their daily routine,” a department official said.
The training, which a department official said would involve helicopters, has been coordinated with local authorities and owners of the training sites, police said.
Police said safety precautions have been taken to prevent risk to the general public and military personnel involved.
The exercises are closed to the public, police said.
The exercises are designed to ensure the military’s ability to operate in urban environments, prepare forces for upcoming overseas deployments, and meet mandatory training certification requirements, police said.

Will Florida Republican Leadership AGAIN Block E-Verify?
The Florida Legislative session has started in Tallahassee and so far the E-Verify bill has yet to have a hearing in either the House or Senate.
The E-Verify Bills are:
HB 1315, House Sponsor Rep. Gayle Harrell
SB1638, Senate Sponsor Thad Altman
Will Speaker Dean Cannon and Senate President Haridopolos join the long list of Republican leaders who have blocked E-Verify for Florida? Will Governor Rick Scott again break his campaign promise to help enact E-Verify for Florida businesses? Final judgment will have to wait until the end of the Session on March 5, 2012 but it appears as though Florida’s leaders are again favoring jobs for illegal aliens over jobs for Florida citizens.
You are urged to call and email the key players who decide the agenda:
Message:
Please help get a hearing for HB1315 and SB 1638 in the Senate and House.
You have pledged to make jobs for Floridians your number one priority. Without mandatory E-Verify for all employers there is no assurance that any job you create will go to the legal workers of Florida. Unemployed Floridians should not have to compete with illegal aliens for jobs. Please make enactment of the HB1315 and SB1638, the Verification of Employment Eligibility Act, a top priority and put Floridians back to work, not illegal aliens!
House:
Speaker of the House Cannon, 850-488-2742, dean.cannon@myfloridahouse.gov
House Majority Leader Lopez-Cantera, 850-488-4202, Carlos.Lopez-Cantera@myfloridahouse.gov
Government Operations Subcommittee Chair Patronis (First House Committee Stop), 850-488-9696, Jimmy.Patronis@myfloridahouse.gov

Senate Judiciary Chair Anitere Flores (First Senate Committee Stop), 850-487-5130, flores.anitere.web@flsenate.gov
While the Governor is not directly involved in setting legislative agendas, he can be influential. Governor Scott won on the issue of illegal immigration and other than requiring E-Verify for state agencies and contractors, he has not been the champion of E-Verify that he promised to be. Most notably, Governor Scott waited for his grandstand performance on May 4, 2011 to say he wanted legislation, the day after Senate President Haridopolos and his underlings butchered and finally blocked E-Verify.

Patriot Coalition And Oath Keepers NDAA Resolutions
Compatriots!
Patriot Coalition and Oath Keepers have partnered to address the dangerous usurpations of the Constitution and Bill of Rights that was inserted into the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (NDAA) by Senators John McCain and Carl Levin.
Attached are the PDF versions of the P.C.O.K. NDAA RESOLUTIONS for state legislators and sheriffs. They are the result of hundreds of hours of legal research and development, and are, in our opinion, both necessary and proper. Our combined legal teams have given much more “due diligence” to drafting these resolutions than most Members of Congress gave to their duties prior to voting for this bill.
Had Congress and the President taken the Hippocratic Oath, “to first do no harm” to our Constitution and Bill of Rights, instead of the apparently “hypo-critic” oath, well…
There is extensive information about the unconstitutional NDAA sections 1021 and 1022 on the Patriot Coalition Blog and on OathKeepers, as well as on our Livestream Channel Page here: http://livestream.com/WRCG

“Defending Life and Liberty is the Pursuit of Happiness!”
Total Federalization of Police Under New Homeland Security Mission (Quasi Grand Standing For A Dollar)
Since 9/11, many of the thugs in government are still cashing-in on quasi-government style companies while fear-mongering (or selling their snake water) to a dumb-down public….standing in line to empty their pockets of any and all freedoms they can, is growing on a scale that will eventually backfire on them.
Chertoff, with family ties to the Israeli Mossad gangster style intelligence assassination network, is heading up the Aspen Homeland Security Group company, which is nothing but a scam to gain DHS funding, while giving them and others a quasi authority to conduct intelligence on the American people.
I know how these ccompanies work, and one similar named organization/company is being put out of business as we speak…
Using the Homeland Security name as part of their image has not worked for them. Because of their in-house criminal activities, and the theft of over $20,000 in donations, we have the thugs hiding in other states, but we found them! See ya in court!!
There are many organizations cashing-in on the threat of terrorism, and because that fear is fading into the lies of 9/11, a new and better enemy had to be established. That’s YOU !
Like a gambler’s delight, the government passed the NDAA on New Years Eve, a bill that targets any and all Americans with military action without Due Process, for ANYTHING the government would like to attach YOU to!
Where does the government get their ideas and threat assessments?
Organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center, an introvert hate creation group, and the evolving security firms with Homeland Security names, recruiting big names…are only concerned about the amount of money they can scam from the tax payer government grant program(s).
Like vultures looking for a weak prey, these security companies assist with the government’s own propaganda, playing on the fears of those that are too lazy to see the man behind the curtain, but instead…volunteer (themselves) to be quasi secret intelligence officers with groups that have really scary names….and they even carry guns!
So…when the crap actually does hit the fan, a good majority of real patriots only hope that the first wave of idiots to come under our radar, are these quasi goons with their really neat toys and weapons.
It will be a fun time….

White House and TSA lie about ‘detaining’ U.S. Senator
Pretty much everybody knows that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was detained recently by the TSA and missed a flight to Washington D.C.
He even tried to cooperate with them by offering to go through the scanner again, but that wasn’t good enough, they wanted to lay hands on him.
While the White House and the TSA try to confuse people about whether or not he was actually ‘detained’, let us be clear: had the Senator, or anyone else for that matter, tried to leave at that point, he would have been threatened with arrest or arrested.
That’s the very definition of detainment, he was not free to leave.
He was not just delayed, or held-up at the airport, he was DETAINED for refusing to be groped.
Here’s his version of events…

Lying Newt
Apparently, Newt Gingrich never learned the Mark Twain adage: “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.”
Fresh off his win in South Carolina — in which the State’s Republican voters expressed their preference for a guy who can play a crowd with a planned, made-for-TV sound bite over a person of substance — Gingrich went into full Gingrich mode and started talking off the top of his head again. It always gets him in trouble.
This time, he just flat out lied.
Newt Gingrich? Really?
Last weekend, Republican voters in South Carolina picked the candidate they want to be the GOP standard bearer for the November elections: Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich? Really? What did I miss? Or better, what did Republican voters in South Carolina miss?
What is not lost to virtually everyone who understands national politics is the fact that there is perhaps no State in the union where evangelical Christians have more influence within the State Republican Party than in South Carolina. For example, Greenville, South Carolina, is home to what could be regarded as the flagship university of evangelicalism, Bob Jones University. There are probably more evangelical churches, Christian schools, mission organizations, etc., per square mile in South Carolina than any State in the country. And the vast majority of them are politically active in GOP politics. So, when a GOP Presidential candidate wins South Carolina, you can be absolutely certain that he or she did so with the support and blessing from a sizeable number of evangelical Christians (and pastors) in the State.
Go Ahead and Join
For years I have cautioned against joining. I have written about the pitfalls of doing so. Yet, the criticism I have received has been relentless. There is no harm in joining, I am told; the personnel don’t make the policies, they just do as they are told and take the good with the bad. If something is unjust, it is said, then those who join don’t have to participate. I am wrong to condemn the entire organization, it is further alleged; the few bad apples in the group have clouded my vision and prejudiced me against the entire outfit.
Okay, I give up. I am weary of answering the negative e-mail. I am tired of getting cursed. Go ahead and join. That’s right. Go ahead and join.
And not only that. Encourage your friends to join. Encourage your neighbors to join. If you are a pastor or youth leader, then encourage young people under your care to join. It will build character and foster discipline, I have always been told. Encourage your sons and daughters to join. Encourage your brothers and sisters to join. Encourage your aunts and uncles to join. Encourage your grandchildren to join. Kids can even encourage their parents to join. Sure, there might be some separation from your family, but if it’s for a good cause, then the children will just have to put up with it. But whatever you do, make sure you thank those who do join.
They Spent Our Taxes on This?
Our national debt stands at $15.2 trillion, and is growing by roughly $6 billion per day. We have tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Unfortunately, we have learned that Republicans lack the gumption to fight for transformational spending cuts and reforms of major entitlements. However, at the very least, one would expect them to oppose silly pork projects like Buffalo Soldiers!
Yesterday, the Republican-controlled House passed HR 1022, a bill that would require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study of the history of Buffalo Soldiers in the establishment of national parks. The study will cost $400,000. The purpose of the study is to ascertain the feasibility of a plan to create a 200-mile trail between San Francisco and Yosemite National Park in commemoration of the Buffalo Soldiers. The federal government already owns roughly 1/3 of all American land. Do we need to afford them the opportunity to take over more land?
State and local governments resist NDAA detention provisions
Provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act may allow for the indefinite detention of U.S. citizens, but the feds could find they get no cooperation from some state and local officials.
Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall (R-Manassas) introduced HB1660, which would, “Prevent any agency, political subdivision, employee, or member of the military of Virginia from assisting an agency or the armed forces of the United States in the investigation, prosecution, or detainment of a United States citizen in violation of the Constitution of Virginia.”
On Wednesday, a House subcommittee passed the bill 6-3, moving it closer to a full House vote.
And sources close to the Tenth Amendment Center say as many as ten states will consider legislation or resolutions in response to the detention provisions in section 1021 and 1022 of the NDAA. Lawmakers in Rhode Island and Washington will likely introduce resolutions authored by the Rhode Island Liberty Coalition within the next week. Additionally, local governments, including Fremont County, Colo. and El Paso County, Colo., have passed resolution condemning the detention provisions.
“Federal politicians never seem to repeal federal law. It’s going to take ‘We the People’ in our states to stand up and say, ‘No!’ to this unconstitutional monster,” Tenth Amendment Center executive director Michael Boldin said.
True Constitutional Government, Is The Desire Really So Strange?
Columbia, MO January 24, 2012 - Three Republican Primaries have come and gone. The remaining field of Republican Presidential hopefuls has dwindled to four and they are moving forward. The media, which actually cannot ignore Ron Paul any longer, is now taking stabs at him any way they can. Recent examples of this behavior are MSNBC taking shots at him for his modest home, Bill O’Reilly ignoring him, stating he doesn’t have a chance, John Roberts, while reporting on the Twitter survey on Fox News for the SC debate, made the comment that it was not scientific and that people were just “voting for their favorite, sometimes.” Throw in that during the final CNN debate before the SC primary, the audience had to get involved for the moderator to let Paul, the only doctor on stage, answer a question about abortion and you get a damning picture of ongoing media manipulation.
One thing that no one seems to point out, save Jon Stewart and individual Paul supports, is his consistency through out his service in the House of Representatives, from his stance on foreign policy to monetary policy to State’s Rights, and more. He refuses to compromise on the limiting nature of our Constitution with regard to Congress and our Federal government. It’s as if people have no recollection of history! Is it really so strange to think we-the-people could want a truly constitutional government again…the kind our founding generation saw necessary to rid a population of tryanny?
It seems that even the Democrats are feeling the need to weigh in on the Republican race. The most recent release by William Lewis Films, The Ron Paul Uprising, discusses this. When asked by Rachel Maddow about Romney’s chances, Former President Jimmy Carter says he hoped Romney would win the Republican nomination. Former President Bill Clinton had great things to say about Romney, as well. Why does their opinion matter? What are they trying to do? Are they trying to sway voters who would support Paul’s TRUE peace policies over the lies Obama has foisted upon the people for the past 3½ years? More recently, even Former Vice President Al Gore had to weigh in, calling Paul silly.
One has to wonder why they fear Paul. Is it perhaps that a Ron Paul presidency might reign in the massive out-of-control government and return it to the rule of law? What does the media, two former Democratic presidents, one former Democratic vice president and the other Republicans in the race have in common? Possibly their desire to usurp further power for the people, disregarding our individual and state rights to, in the words of one of our first Supreme Court judges, “do as we please?”
And what of the media downplay and outright misrepresentation of Paul? “They have found nothing on Paul and are constantly looking for ways to take down the only constitutionally guided candidate in the race!” states Lewis, further adding, “We can’t let this happen…we finally have a candidate we can vote FOR!”
Support for Paul is still on the rise, much to the dismay of the “media experts” who have done their fair share to eliminate him. So what can WE do? The Ron Paul Uprising is full of information and sound bytes that let Paul tell his own story. Also included are reminders of Senator Obama on the campaign trail, the challenges we face with electronic voting and more. To help Paul win, we have to play outside the main stream, get creative and use different “tools” to get the job done. The Ron Paul Uprising is one of those tools…visit http://ronpauluprising.com/ to get your copy today…Hold a screening in your area and help Paul get elected!

Ron Paul Responds To Obama’s State Of The Union Speech
“Tonight, President Obama once again showed that he does not represent the fundamental change this country needs.” Instead of offering solutions to the problems our country faces, the President was intent on delivering a campaign speech, further dealing in the typical Washington political gamesmanship that has gotten us exactly nowhere close to improving the lives of the American people.
“In a speech where much of the rhetoric was devoted to job creation, it was strange that President Obama would brag about his job-destroying national health care plan, Obamacare, and the Dodd-Frank bill, which, contrary to the President’s claims, guarantees future taxpayer bailouts of large institutions. Unfortunately, President Obama’s ‘job creation’ policies amount to little more than continuing to allow government bureaucrats to pick winners and losers, which is a recipe for continued economic stagnation.
“President Obama claims to want an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. Yet he remains committed to the same old system of debt, deficits, bailouts, and cronyism that created our economic problems. The President speaks of giving us energy independence from unstable nations, yet he refuses to allow the type of development needed to achieve this goal, while at the same time his administration hands out favors to the politically connected – those given to the likes of Solyndra, who fail to produce jobs or energy but succeed in ripping off the taxpayers.
The TSA won’t stop itself, so the states will stop it
Sen. Rand Paul’s run-in with TSA agents at a security checkpoint in Nashville Monday once again focused national attention on the overreaching nature of federal airport security screenings. Paul’s prominent position illuminated the heavy handed methods used by the TSA, but his experience isn’t unique. Every day, thousands of Americans endure embarrassing, degrading and constitutionally dubious pat-downs at airports across the United States.
Recognizing that the TSA will never rein itself in, several state lawmakers have taken up James Madison’s call to interpose on behalf of their citizens.
Legislators in Alaska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania have already introduced bills that would serve to check overreaching TSA searches. And the Tenth Amendment Center expects at least seven other states to follow suit during the 2012 legislative session.
Rep. Sharon Cissna (D-Anchorage) had her own experience with TSA agents. Last year, the breast cancer survivor opted to drive from Seattle to Juneau rather than undergo a pat-down when a scanner flagged her surgical scars as an “irregularity.”
