Is Obama above the law?

A small business owner, a grocery store proprietor, or a Republican takes millions of illegal credit card donations and he’s going to jail.

Barack Obama does it and he’s going to the White House.

Take a stand now for equal justice for all Americans.

Make everyone you know—Democrat, Republican, or independent—aware of this failure of justice.

NewsMax: “Audit of Obama Fundraising Unlikely”

The Federal Election Commission is not likely to conduct a potentially embarrassing audit of Barack Obama’s record-breaking fundraising campaign despite allegations of questionable donations and accounting.

That’s the disclosure from Politico.com, which reports that Obama will probably escape scrutiny in large part because unlike John McCain, he declined to accept $84 million in public financing.Accepting that money automatically triggers an audit, meaning that the FEC is obligated to thoroughly audit the McCain campaign’s coffers, which will take months and cost McCain millions to defend.

Another factor that will discourage an Obama audit by the FEC is the sheer size of his fundraising haul — more than $650 million — which minimizes the significance of any errors.

“If a House campaign makes a $100,000 error, that’s huge and they’re likely to get audited,” David Mason, a former GOP appointee to the FEC, told Politico.

“If a campaign the size of the Obama campaign has a $100,000 error, then maybe not.” -  Filed on Articles in “Conservative Activism” -

Paul COllier’s News around the world for the American Freedomist Network:
Palin’s Africa guffaw a fake?

While MSNBC ran with its exclusive “investigation” of Sarah Palin’s inability to recognize Africa as a continent, it may have wanted to read the fine print of the source, Martin Eisenstadt, who, it turns out, is a fictional person created by a group of blog-pranksters.
If they had simply pulled of the hoax, with msnbc, la times, ny times going along for the ride, the news organizations that carried the stories would have been free of any direct responsibility for perpetuating outright lies.

It turns out in their zest to sling mud, the news organizations couldn’t take the time to read the disclaimers on the website from where the stories came, the disclaimer that says this is not a real person, that this is a parody site.

Iraq Insurgents get sticky

So-called “sticky IEDs (Improvised explosive device) have become the feared weapon of choice by the remaining insurgency in Iraq. These bombs, about the size of an adult hand, are easy to stick on vehicles, and hard to detect.

The shift in tactics comes as the insurgency is no longer able to orchestrate larger operations. Sticky bombs are a lot smaller and easier to get to your target. Recent underground bomb-making factories have been uncovered, suggesting the insurgency is about to launch a wave of these new types of attacks

Blackwater in hotwater

Blackwater USA, the security company that has been in the news for alleged violations of Iraqi citizen rights, is under the gun again, this time for shipping guns to Iraq that are not authorized. The State Department is conducting an investigation which, so far, has yielded evidence that some weapons may have been improperly shipped, and may even have ended up on the black market.
A fine measured in millions is promised from the Iraaqi government.

Bin Laden commands his survival only

According to CIA director, Michael Hayden, Osama Bin Laden “….appears to be largely isolated from the day-to-day operations of the organization he nominally heads.” Hayden said bin Laden spends much of his time moving from place to place to save his life, and remains isolated from all but a few trusted aides. “
Hayden added that ‘’He is putting a lot of energy into his own survival, a lot of energy into his own security,”
Bin Laden does not have the time to coordinate with any other member beyond coordinating his own constant motion to avoid having a predator drone plant munitions on his lap. Some question whether Bin Laden has any effective leadership powers left to claim, beyond symbolism, given his lack of any real ability to affect operations around the world.
According to Hayden, “This is an organization that has never been through a change at the top. For 20 years, bin Laden has been the visionary, the inspiration or harmonizing force behind al-Qaeda.”

Don’t cry over spilled milk, unless it’s chinese

Melarnine is a toxin found in bad milk that has, so far, made over 50,000 chinese children sick. This toxin is the reason that any dairy product shipped to the US by China will not be allowed entry unless they pass more stringent US testing. Some of the products include, candy, pet food, snacks, and more.

The Witches of Africa……..Children
The Congo, Angola, and the Congo republic are currently being swept by a specter not seen in America since the heady early days of Salem, witch hunts. In this version, the targets are not women but children. The underlying cause of this epidemic stems from families’ lack of ability to take care of all the children they have. Witch accusations are a socially acceptable way to purge the family of mouths they cannot feed. The fighting that occurs regularly in Angola and Congo also add to the easy acceptance of death-penalty accusations of witchcraft.

Franken’s Folly
In the race for the Minnesota Senate seat currently being held by Norm Coleman, Al Franken won’t give up his fight so easy, even as it becomes apparent Coleman will win the run-off.

AL Franken is putting on a full-on press to intimidate local election officials into counting bad voter registration cards in the recount, despite the fact that it is specifically against Minnesota law to do so.

So far, two county election offices have rejected Franken’s attempts, citing the Minnesota law, and accusing Franken of frivolous, desperate tactics.
Norm Coleman’s lead has appeared to stabilize at over 200 votes..

Clinton back in the White House?

If the rumors are true, Hillary Clinton could be serving the White House soon, as Secretary of State. Numerous papers and news outlets have cited unverified sources within the Obama camp as saying that Obama is not satisfied with the reactions for this position he’s gotten after floating names like John Kerry, 2004 Dem Presidential Candidate, Chuck Hagel, the Republican who votes with Democrats most of the time, and Governor Bill Richardson, the so-called “Hispanic President” of the future.

Hillary’s Foreign Policy reputation (born mostly from her years as first lady, where she developed relations with many world leaders) is what Obama wants most from her possible choice, though Obama’s discomfort with a past rival is the one sticking point that may kill the deal.

Citbank received over $25 billion in bailout money, is known for being one of the most aggressive and unethical collectors, and is now making more moves that may further damage its once stellar reputation.

Citibank announced yesterday it will lay off at least 100,ooo employees, and will also raise its interest rates on select “customers”. Coming on the heels of $902 billion third quarter loss, the moves are seen as coming more from desperation than any kind of coherent plan to lift the credit giant out of the credit crisis.
The rate increase will be 3%, and will affect 20% of Citibank’s customers.

The spread- UBS enveloped in corporate scandal

The Swiss Bank, UBS, has recently seen the head of its global wealth management division, Raoul Weil, indicted by the US Department of Justice for tax evasion.

While the indictment only named Well, according to the Financial Times, the indictment mentions “unindicted co-conspirators”, other high-ranking board members, who may face charges in the future, and may indicate a systematic abuse of US Banking laws by UBS..

No jobs, no stocks
Coming off jobless claims from last month that reached 7-year highs, the erratic markets finished more or less where they started, with the s&P and Nasdaq seeing modest gains of less than 1 percent each. The Dow gained 66 points on the day.

IN world markets, the Nikkei continues its downward slide, losing another 5.3%, as does the UK FTSE, falling close to 2%.

The new waffle-head- Hank Paulson

Do you remember when hank first asked us for our life savings? If we don’t buy up this bad debt, our nation will be in ruins. It turns out he may have been wrong. Apparently, instead of buying the bad debt and helping debtors, as he initially promised (Leverage he wielded mightily to win support for this illegal bailout), the money is going to the creditors, the ones who created this credit freeze in the first place.

His moves have rendered him irrelevant to the world markets, who have now lost all faith that Paulson will say what he does and do what he says. His dramatic flip-flop triggered worldwide losses two days ago, with most markets losing 5-10% of their total value in one day.
