Finally, Some Sense of Sanity on Illegal Immigration; Her Honor, Sharon Blackburn, Lets Most of Alabama’s, the Nation’s Toughest Anti-Illegal Immigrant Law Stand:

Finally, Some Sense of Sanity on Illegal Immigration; Her Honor, Sharon Blackburn, Lets Most of Alabama’s, the Nation’s Toughest Anti-Illegal Immigrant Law Stand:
By Marc Chamot

There might be some hope for America after all. Among the midst of all the chaos, there is some good news on the illegal immigration front. 

A Federal judge left pretty much intact Alabama’s strict immigrations law, including a section that requires POLICE to check residency statuses of suspected illegal immigrants.

Her Honor, Sharon Blackburn, didn’t buy the Fed’s argument that illegal immigration enforcements are left for the Feds, not the states. The bill known as HB56, signed into law by Governor Robert J. Bentley last June, this legislation is considered the strictest in the nation.

This is in response of flurries of anti-immigration bills flooding states everywhere, majority of folks are getting pretty bummed out, over masses of undocumented aliens roaming free across this country. Folks everywhere are realizing the economic and financial hardships that accompany rampant illegal immigration.

The Obama Feds fought tooth and nail to have this overturned entirely, but Her Honor, Sharon Blackburn wouldn’t buy their arguments one bit. It was obvious to her, that the Feds have FAILED enforcing illegal immigration; it was causing serious financial hardships to states, so the Judge saw that Alabama had every right to enforce those laws.

Besides, Feds have already publicly declared states as partners on illegal immigration enforcements. This is a total opposite ruling from Arizona’s, which ended having theirs blocked by another Federal judge, by an anti-constitutionalist liberal.  

Her Honor, Sharon Blackburn is a PATRIOTIC American! She's seeing the lawbreakers as they really are, as lawbreakers! 

Here are provisions of the new law: “Numerous sections of the Alabama law challenged by the Justice Department but upheld by Blackburn may take effect immediately.

Alabama police may now detain people driving without a license in order to check their immigration status. Contracts knowingly entered into with illegal immigrants will be considered invalid, and illegal immigrants will not be allowed to enter into "business transactions" with the state, including applying for driver's or business licenses.

Immigrants caught without required alien registration documents will now be guilty of a state crime, a provision that in effect "criminalizes undocumented status," Spiro argued, since being in the country illegally is a violation of civil law, not criminal law, on the federal level.

Among the sections Blackburn blocked: one that would have outlawed illegal immigrants' attempts to solicit or apply for jobs, and another that would have outlawed knowingly harboring or transporting them.”

This new law will hopefully encourage other states to implement similar and tougher anti-illegal immigration laws. There’s no question the Supreme Court will be hearing these arguments soon, but so far, with the current FIVE conservative majorities on the bench, it has been more in favor for states enforcing their OWN immigration laws, because of the Federal government’s inept failures to control the porous border.

Usually the Supreme Court rules on the side of public opinion. Illegal immigration is one, guns the other and oh boy, and even Obamacare might be another!

Still reeling from the Rick Perry shocker; in regards to California’s AB131, the public taxpayer’s financing of undocumented aliens’ college education that’s on Governor Jerry Brown’s desk to sign. It’s not that surprising coming from a Liberal Democrat like Jerry Loon Brown, but what’s really surprising, more like shocking is when Texas did theirs back in 2001, ten years ago, with a Republican governor to boot! That’s shocking as heck.

Most Americans weren’t aware what Rick Perry did back in 2001 in regards to taxpayer financed tuition breaks for illegals, but we are aware what Jerry Brown is doing, he's a crazy pro-illegal immigration's Liberal Democrat.  With the Internet these days, nothing will ever hide or be hidden from us again. 

You see, what happened then with Perry, the Internet was in its infancy, and most of the nation’s left-wing Medias covered up that story, and that’s why a GOP Governor Perry was able to pull this crap on the people of Texas.

Maybe that’s why Rick Perry poll numbers for the GOP presidential nomination is dropping faster than Obama’s re-election chances.


Chris Christie’s another Pro-Illegal Immigration Lunatic: “Illegal Immigration is a Federal Problem, NOT a State Problem,” says so Christie:

Herman Cain: On why he wouldn’t support Perry in the general election. “Him (Perry) being soft on securing the border is one of the reasons,” said Cain. 

“I feel strongly about the need to secure the border for real, the need to enforce the laws already there, the need to promote the path to citizenship, but more importantly, empower the states to enforce the national federal immigration laws. Because the federal government didn’t do it, can’t do it and never will do it, so that’s the where I think he and I have a difference of opinion.”

Another wannabe standup comedian, No, it's Chris Christie and he is just another pro-illegal immigration putts. Can’t we get anybody better in the GOP? Maybe so, I’m definitely a 'Herman Cain' type of guy.

I am really getting FED-UP that some Republican presidential candidates are so enamored with illegal aliens, they want to come here and claim that they are Holy conservatives, when they are NOT.

First Perry went down the wayside, and now Chris Christie? Yes folks, that Chris Christie. “In 2008, when Christie was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, he told a church forum that “being in this country without proper documentation is not a crime.”

Christie, who was appointed to that position by President George W. Bush, went on to say that an immigrant lacking documents is a civil wrong. “The whole phrase of 'illegal immigrant' connotes that the person, by just being here, is committing a crime,” he said then. “Don't let people make you believe that that's a crime that the U.S. attorney's office should be doing something about."

At the time, those statements earned Christie the wrath of TV host Lou Dobbs, then the loudest voice leading the crusade for tougher immigration policies, who called Christie "an utter embarrassment" and accused him of failing to aggressively prosecute immigration cases. (Watch video below.)

Perry has earned the mistrust of many in the party after reaffirming his support for a program in Texas that grants an in-state tuition discount to the children of illegal immigrants and for opposing the building of a fence along the U.S border with Mexico.

During an event at the Reagan library this week in Simi Valley, Christie, now New Jersey's governor, ripped Perry’s tuition stance, calling opposition to tuition grants “a common-sense position.”

Christie has talked of the need for greater enforcement of federal immigration laws and has opposed giving undocumented aliens driver's licenses—but last year also called on Congress to pass a comprehensive, bipartisan reform bill.

“The president and the Congress have to step up to the plate, they have to secure our borders, and they have to put forward a common-sense path to citizenship for people,” Christie said in an interview on ABC.

The advocacy group Numbers USA, which seeks to tighten immigration levels, has given Christie an “F” on the issue, although to be fair, it takes a dim view of just about every entrant in the GOP presidential field. Michele Bachmann earns the highest marks with a B, Mitt Romney gets a C-, and Perry, a D-.

(President Obama, incidentally, earns an F-, a grade that does not exist in most schools.)

While Christie has been seen in some circles as a potential game-changing candidate, capable of uniting GOP voters wary of both Perry and Romney, he does not fit the mold of a hard-core conservative. Take, for example, his past statements on climate change. Where Perry has called global warming theories “phony,” Christie has said, “When you have over 90% of the world’s scientists who have studied this stating that climate change is occurring and that humans play a contributing role, it’s time to defer to the experts.”

Christie supports the Bowles-Simpson deficit reduction plan, which calls for some tax increases to help reduce the deficit, a nonstarter for many budget hawks in the party. On healthcare, Christie declined to join a multistate lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the health insurance mandate. And while he has said he opposes same-sex marriage, he seemingly takes no issue with civil unions.

(Here's a chart from the Texas Tribune comparing Christie on the issues to Perry and Romney.)

And it’s highly possible that were Christie to reverse him and decide to run, he would pose a bigger threat to Romney than Perry, as both would chase voters in the Northeast and Midwest who might be less inclined to support the Texas governor.”

Ward Connerly: RE: RACIST-SB185; Truths of the Matter, “it’s ALL because Powers of Leftist Liberal Hispanic/Latinos Caucuses have over California Democratic Legislatures:”

Ward Connerly: RE: RACIST-SB185; Truths of the Matter, “it’s ALL because Powers of Leftist Liberal Hispanic/Latinos Caucuses have over California Democratic Legislatures:”
By Marc Chamot

This is exactly what happens, when illegal immigration GOES unchecked.

You probably by now, heard about the University of Berkeley’s student Republicans bake sale? It’s a parody on a RACIST bill that I wrote about on my previous postings. Proposition 209 ended preferences in California back in 1996. 

In Another RACIST & Anti-White U.C. Education Bill in CA’s SB185-Ed Hernandez, Benefiting Hispanics/Minorities Over White Students: Even though California voters, voted OUT special preferences in California education, we have a Hispanic lawmaker bringing it back again, through another format of discrimination. “So in California, insane anti-white American, racist Senator Ed Hernandez of West Covina pushed forth SB185 Hernandez

This bill would authorize the University of California and the California State University to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national origin, along with other relevant factors, in undergraduate and graduate admissions, to the maximum extent permitted by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 31 of Article I of the California Constitution, and relevant case law.

The bill would require the trustees, and request the regents, to report in writing to the Legislature and the Governor by November 1, 2013, on the implementation of the bill.

The bill would require these reports to include information relative to the number of students admitted, disaggregated by race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, geographic origin, and household income, and compared to the prior 2 years of admissions.”

In other words folks; this bill is to promote more minorities in an already crowded college environment, at the expense of the state’s “white’ students, who are the targets of being rooted out of the California college educational systems.

They are talking about leveling the playing fields in education; I am talking about ‘wanton’ discrimination towards one race in FAVOR other races, mainly Hispanics. And this disgusting RACIST bill is going to Governor Jerry Brown, to be signed!”

Not only this bill is very discriminatory, it will force wealthier white students to PAY higher rates for education, while giving minorities, mainly Hispanics bigger tuition breaks! In other words; we’re giving Latinos cheaper education, on the backs of ‘white’ folks.

You see folks; here are the truths to remember; do you all remember that very intelligent African American, anti-preferences and California HERO Mr. Ward Connerly?

Yes, that Mr. Ward Connerly! Mr. Connerly was in total support of the student Republicans at U.C. Berkeley, and he said something about California Hispanic/Latinos that has been on my mind, but could never get a grasp on. “It’s all because, the power those voting blocs of leftist liberal Hispanic/Latinos caucuses have over California Democratic legislatures.” BINGO, he hit it right on the nail!

I am not attacking Latinos, they are attacking us. Basically what is happening in California? Hispanic/Latinos have built such powerful political caucuses, because they are the most populous of any state, and they RULE over California and state legislators, and they are behind implementations of these RACIST policies such as this one.

What California is going through today, it’s what’s going to happen in other states, if illegal immigration is kept unchecked. To them, it’s all fine and well to RACIAL profile, if it’s done against white folks. But when it’s DONE to them, they holler like hyenas!

In other words, they are a political thugs, MAFIA's and they want payback, and big time, against the richer ‘white’ folks of California. And we’ve GOT ‘crazy’ white politicians like Governor Jerry Brown, who subscribes to all this nonsense.

Disastrous consequences of Obamacare in the works, and the cost of businesses buying healthcare for its workers, has arisen most since 2005 to 9% in 2011.  At the rate healthcare is rising, it may cost $32,175 for an entire family by 2021. The average cost per family now, is about $15,073 per year.

In recent polls of 2,088 private employers, state and local agencies, done by the Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation in Menlo Park and the American Hospital Association Health Research and Educational Trust of Chicago, show that healthcare for employees is consuming the largest share of employee costs.

According to previous published reports, employers are soon going to drop healthcare for their employees, due to Obamacare. Employers see it as a medical entitlement benefiting their employees more than their business pocket books.

With President Obama’s low approval ratings, there’s no question in my mind, the rising costs of healthcare premiums has a lot to do with his popularity ratings, along with the dismal state of the economy.

This is the problem I have with Obamacare. If the Supreme Court does not rule against this disastrous policy, it will fiscally destroy the financial aspects of this nation.

Everybody’s talking about a possible GOP ‘default’ candidate to Obama. There is no DOUBT in my mind now, that Mr. Obama was never qualified to be U.S. president. I mentioned that three years ago when he ran.

I kind of laughed, because Mr. Community Organizer and his crony supporters, we’re all down on Sarah Palin as being unqualified to be a Vice President and now we can all see the fatal results. Hypocrites! It all ended up biting them on his rear-ends after all.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie isn’t running, and maybe there’s a good reason. I am a fan of Christies’ fiscal conservativeness and his penchant on being tough with public employees and their unions. However, the real reason Chris Christie is not running, maybe he’s got skeletons in his closet, like Rick Perry?

The really wonderful thing about the Internet, the real truths about political candidates comes out in an instance. Before the Media covered up weak candidates from the general public, but not now, political candidates can no longer hide behind the PRESS.

No more ROOM for RINO’s. Of what I understand from some sources and conservative talk shows, Chris Christie is soft on illegal immigration as Perry was, and Christie MAY not be so pro-gun after all. Even though the darling of conservatives Christie, to Rick Perry’s darlings’ too, however, when people research and see the truths for what they both really are, maybe they aren’t as such darlings after all, they aren’t what they truly purport to be.

You see folks; Rick Perry was pretty dumb thinking his RINO conservativeness wouldn’t be discovered by the masses. And yes, Rick Perry is a RINO, Republican in Name only, and maybe even Chris Christie is one too, because he refuses to run for the presidency.

Washington, We Have a Problem! Civil-War Launching Gallup Polls: Voter’s Disgust, Disdains & Unhappiness towards U.S. Government HIGHEST EVER:

Washington, We Have a Problem! Civil-War Launching Gallup Polls: Voter’s Disgust, Disdains & Unhappiness towards U.S. Government HIGHEST EVER:
By Marc Chamot

If the Marc Chamot Report has been too negative towards our Federal government, this isn’t by design, it’s because it’s all TRUE. 

There are polls to prove what I have been saying all along is what’s happening in this nation. We’re in DEEP trouble folks, and there isn’t a way OUT of it, short of revolts, Civil-Wars and revolutions.

According to these figures, there’s no DOUBT Washington still NOT LISTENING towards OUR sorry state of affairs. Everything is falling on deaf ears in Washington, and there is NO question in 2012, there will be another mass sweeping of U.S. congress again in 2012.

If GOP/Republicans plan to follow the George Bush and 2000 Republican controlled Washington ideas for prosperity, let me tell you right NOW, it will not work. Obama and the Democrats have LOST control of our economy and our nation, and I have serious doubt that Republicans can do any better, with their same OLD and out dated ideologies.

I am talking about much greater changes is needed here, from tighter legal/illegal immigration controls,  and tightening our sorry trade deals that GOT us into this mess in the first place, including other damages that was done to our economic well being, such as massive outsourcing of U.S. factory JOBS and contracts overseas.

Rather than the little squeaks of economic rises, we’ve been getting lately, and I’m NOT talking about 15 degrees, 45 degrees, or even 90 degree changes, what I’m talking about is a total 180 degrees changes from what it is NOW, OR else, there will be CHAOS.

It’s NOT too hard to comprehend, with ‘civil disorders and wars’ figures like these, especially when GOP/Republicans begin their strict austerity measures on the masses in a DOWN economy, they will inadvertently trigger chaotic revolts never seen in this country before and that’s my warning to YOU folks!  

Americans Express Historic Negativity Toward U.S. Government “Several long-term Gallup trends at or near historical lows”

A record-high 81% of Americans are dissatisfied with the way the country is being governed, adding to negativity that has been building over the past 10 years.
Trend: Reaction to How the Nation Is Being Governed
Majorities of Democrats (65%) and Republicans (92%) are dissatisfied with the nation's governance. This perhaps reflects the shared political power arrangement in the nation's capital, with Democrats controlling the White House and U.S. Senate, and Republicans controlling the House of Representatives. Partisans on both sides can thus find fault with government without necessarily blaming their own party.
The findings are from Gallup's annual Governance survey, updated Sept. 8-11, 2011. The same poll shows record or near-record criticism of Congress, elected officials, government handling of domestic problems, the scope of government power, and government waste of tax dollars.
Key Findings:
  • 82% of Americans disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job.
  • 69% say they have little or no confidence in the legislative branch of government, an all-time high and up from 63% in 2010.
  • 57% have little or no confidence in the federal government to solve domestic problems, exceeding the previous high of 53% recorded in 2010 and well exceeding the 43% who have little or no confidence in the government to solve international problems.
  • 53% have little or no confidence in the men and women who seek or hold elected office.
  • Americans believe, on average, that the federal government wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar, similar to a year ago, but up significantly from 46 cents a decade ago and from an average 43 cents three decades ago.
  • 49% of Americans believe the federal government has become so large and powerful that it poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens. In 2003, less than a third (30%) believed this.
Congress' Ratings Have Plunged in Recent Years
Confidence in Congress hit a new low this month, with 31% of Americans saying they have a great deal or fair amount of confidence in the legislative branch, lower than the percentage confident in the executive (47%) or judicial (63%) branch. Confidence in the legislative branch is slightly higher among Republicans than among Democrats, 41% vs. 32%.
Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Legislative Branch of the Federal Government, Consisting of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives
Apart from a brief rally in public approval of Congress after the 9/11 attacks, Congress' job approval rating has followed a similar path, declining sharply since about 2000. The 15% of Americans approving of Congress in the September poll is just two percentage points above the all-time low reached twice in the past year.
1974-2011 Trend: Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?
Public Officials Held in Low Esteem
Americans' confidence in the people who run for or serve in office is also at a new low; however, the decline has been more recent, dropping from 66% in 2008 to 49% in 2009 and 45% today. For most of the history of this trend, Americans had much more positive views of those seeking or holding public office, but that changed in 2009, and the balance of opinion has since remained more negative than positive.
1972-2011 Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Men and Women in Political Life in This Country Who Either Hold or Are Running for Public Office
Americans Particularly Critical of Domestic Policy
At 43%, fewer Americans today than at any time in the past four decades say they have a great deal or fair amount of trust in the federal government to handle domestic problems. That is significantly lower than the 58% average level of confidence Gallup has found on this since 1972, including a 77% reading shortly after the 9/11 attacks. Gallup did not ask the question between 1976 and 1997, however, and thus may have missed low points during the recessions that occurred in the early 1980s or at the time of the House banking scandal in the early '90s.
By contrast, faith in Washington to handle international problems (57%) is currently better than the 51% all-time low recorded in 2007, during the Iraq war, and not far off from the 65% average seen since 1972.
1972-2011 Trend: Trust and Confidence in the Federal Government When It Comes to Handling International, Domestic Problems
Along with Americans' record-low confidence in the federal government on domestic policy, Gallup finds record skepticism about government waste. As previously reported, Americans, on average, think the federal government in Washington wastes 51 cents of every tax dollar, the highest estimated proportion of waste Gallup has found on this measure in trends dating to 1979.
Nearly Half Now Say Government Poses Immediate Threat
Americans' sense that the federal government poses an immediate threat to individuals' rights and freedoms is also at a new high, 49%, since Gallup began asking the question using this wording in 2003. This view is much more pronounced among Republicans (61%) and independents (57%) than among Democrats (28%), although when George W. Bush was president, Democrats and independents were more likely than Republicans to view government as a threat.
2003-2011 Trend: Do you think the federal government poses an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens, or not?
Bottom Line
Americans' various ratings of political leadership in Washington add up to a profoundly negative review of government -- something that would seem unhealthy for the country to endure for an extended period. Nevertheless, with another budget showdown looking inevitable and a contentious presidential election year getting underway, it appears the ratings reviewed here could get worse before they improve.

Guilty! U.C. Irvine ‘Free Speech Muslim Thugs’ Got What they Deserved & Another RACIST & Anti-White U.C. Education Bill in CA’s SB185-Ed Hernandez, Benefiting Hispanics/Minorities Over White Students:

Guilty! U.C. Irvine ‘Free Speech Muslim Thugs’ Got What they Deserved & Another RACIST & Anti-White U.C. Education Bill in CA’s SB185-Ed Hernandez, Benefiting Hispanics/Minorities Over White Students:
By Marc Chamot

The San Francisco Chronicle had their weekly poll, on the Obama-Solyndra affairs, guess what folks? The simple majority, 42% of the respondents says the Obama Administration is very incompetent. 34% said that Green power might be the future, with any startup company, there are risks.

In other words, to those 34%, Obama took big risks, with over $500 Million, and to be exact of OUR TAX money, the bottom line? It all still goes back to what the first 42% said; Obama is incompetent indeed for taking such risks with OUR hard earned money.

John Diaz, the San Francisco Chronicle’s Editorial Page Editor, in today’s opinion piece, inadvertently tells the REAL truths as to why Hispanic/Latinos are far behind the rest of us economically, or POOR.

In his Harvest of History piece, depicting filmmaker Abby Ginzberg’s documentary piece on the life of former Supreme Court Justice, Cruz Reynoso. This piece really stood out, about the real attitudes, mentalities and intentions of uneducated illegal immigrants, or migrant workers, when they come here in the U.S. and birth their children.

In former Supreme Court Justice’s Reynosos’ own words, “his barriers began at home with his mother. His mother was frustrated and angry that Reynoso and his brothers picked up books instead of working as farm laborers. She thought them as being lazy,” Reynoso recalled.

And maybe that’s why their Asian counterparts are FAR more successful in our schools, while Hispanic/Latinos have far higher dropout rates than most and are considered the nation’s POOREST minorities.

It’s all about their attitudes and mentalities coming into this country, it’s about schools and studying, it’s an American tradition that they do not want to embrace. So they want to stay POOR and become big burdens for our welfare systems.

So not only Texas Governor Rick Perry bowed down to illegal immigrants in Texas, by providing taxpayer funded college education DISCOUNTS for illegal immigrants.

Rick Perry also showed by his actions, that illegal aliens are far BETTER than the rest of us, he’s basically telling YOU and me, and us, go on and pay the 100% of the universities dues, while I’ll give my state’s illegal’s BIG taxpayer financed discounts, because they deserve it.

Do you know how insane this type of mentality really is for our country? It seems that Rick Perry has acquired the anti-white American attitudes that most quiche and white wine drinking liberals have. It’s the screw the REST of white Americans and EVEN black Americans, and let’s give those poor illegal Hispanics, a BREAK for Pete’s Sakes; they need to be taken better care of, because we cannot be that heartless! B…..S……!

So in California, insane anti-white American, racist Senator Ed Hernandez of West Covina pushed forth SB185 Hernandez: “This bill would authorize the University of California and the California State University to consider race, gender, ethnicity, and national origin, along with other relevant factors, in undergraduate and graduate admissions, to the maximum extent permitted by the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, Section 31 of Article I of the California Constitution, and relevant case law.

The bill would require the trustees, and request the regents, to report in writing to the Legislature and the Governor by November 1, 2013, on the implementation of the bill.

The bill would require these reports to include information relative to the number of students admitted, disaggregated by race, gender, ethnicity, national origin, geographic origin, and household income, and compared to the prior 2 years of admissions.”

In other words folks; this bill is to promote more minorities in an already crowded college environment, at the expense of the state’s “white’ students, who are the targets of being rooted out of the California college educational systems.

They are talking about leveling the playing fields in education; I am talking about ‘wanton’ discrimination towards one race in FAVOR other races, mainly Hispanics. And this disgusting RACIST bill is going to Governor Jerry Brown, to be signed!

Great verdict! It’s a big lesson; there’s no place in America for Muslim thugs, and as far as I know, we were founded on ‘Freedom of Speech’ principles, however, the 10 ignorant Muslim students wanted to disrupt another ‘freedom of speech’ lecture, and got what they richly deserve.

It’s like this Muslims; YOU cannot come here and infringe on someone else’s rights of ‘free speech,’ otherwise YOU are deemed a thug and a disruptor of our own freedom of speech! We wouldn’t interfere on YOURS, would we?

“A jury convicted 10 Muslim students Friday of disrupting a talk by the Israeli ambassador on a university campus in a case that has stoked an intense debate about free speech.

The students also were convicted of conspiring to disrupt Ambassador Michael Oren's speech in February 2010 at the University of California, Irvine.

The students were charged with misdemeanor counts after standing up, one by one, and shouting prepared statements such as "propagating murder is not an expression of free speech" that were followed by cheers from supporters.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter J. Wilson sentenced the defendants to 56 hours of community service and three years of informal probation. Minimal court fines and fees were also assessed against the 10.

The case has stoked an impassioned debate in the affluent suburbs southeast of Los Angeles about free speech rights.

Some community members called the trial a waste of taxpayers' money and said prosecutors were singling out the defendants because they are Muslim.

Prosecutors said the students broke the law by interrupting Oren's speech on U.S.-Israel relations and cutting short the program despite calls to behave from campus officials. Defence attorneys argued the students had a right to protest.

Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said a line must be drawn between protests that are lawful and those that aren't. Had the situation been reversed, with Israeli students protesting a Muslim speaker in this way, he said he would have prosecuted the demonstrators just the same.

"Any way you look at this, this is censorship," Rackauckas told reporters after the verdict. "It's not against or for any particular group. This is strictly about the rule of law and not allowing one group to shut down another."

Defense attorneys said they would appeal the ruling.

After the verdict, the attorneys praised students for their bravery in standing up to Oren and compared them to civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jr.

"This jury verdict, I think, should be worn as a badge of courage," Tarek Shawky, one of six defense attorneys working on the case, told reporters.

Free speech experts say the verdict was anticipated in light of similar cases involving a so-called "heckler's veto" in which individuals try to shout over a speaker. But such cases don't often go to trial, said Joseph Russomanno, an associate professor of journalism and communication at Arizona State University who focuses on free speech issues.

On Friday, the sponsor of Oren's speech, the Rose Project of Jewish Federation & Family Services, Orange County, praised the verdict while an interfaith coalition of community groups denounced it and vowed to support the students for protesting the Israeli government's actions in Gaza.
UC Irvine said in a statement that it supports free speech.

During the trial, prosecutor Dan Wagner told jurors the students infringed upon the rights of 700 people who had gone to the Irvine campus to hear Oren. He showed video footage of university officials pleading with students to stop interrupting the diplomat's speech and emails sent among members of UC Irvine's Muslim Student Union planning the disruption and calculating who was willing to get arrested.

Defence attorneys countered there were no hard rules for the speech, and the students might have been discourteous but didn't break the law. Lawyer Reem Salahi said the demonstration never intended to halt Oren's speech entirely.

Attorneys for both sides showed dueling pie charts breaking down how much time the students demonstrated, how long their supporters cheered and how much time Oren spoke to prove whether the meeting suffered a significant disruption.

Attorneys for the students — who attended UC Irvine and UC Riverside — argued before the trial that charges should never have been filed and that the issue was already handled on campus.
In 2010, the students were cited, released and disciplined at UC Irvine, which revoked the Muslim Student Union's charter for a quarter and placed it on two years of probation.”

Basically, what the jury is saying to us all, YOU cannot infringe or trample on someone else’s right to free speech, as those Muslim thugs did to Ambassador Michael Oren’s own ‘freedom of speech’ lectures at U.C Irvine. If these Muslim students did their own speech and someone came to disrupt them, I’d support them wholeheartedly.

Are deportations in order after all this? There should be, with criminal records. Maybe, with a GOP president, there might be one, we’ll see soon.

Crony Capitalism & Corporate Welfares, Protecting the Wealthiest & Attacks on Public Social Services, a Negative & Malodorous Stench of GOP Still Hanging Around:

Crony Capitalism & Corporate Welfares, Protecting the Wealthiest & Attacks on Public Social Services, a Negative & Malodorous Stench of GOP Still Hanging Around:
By Marc Chamot

Polls are still coming, they show that majority of Americans are still trusting Obama and Democrats in JOBS creations than GOP/Republicans. 

The negative and malodorous stench of the GOP is still drifting in the air.

Just the other day, I had a big argument over politics with my best friend Jason. Jason’s a hardcore Republican and he’s as conservative as they come. Jason’s like a brother I never had, and God bless his soul, but sometimes when I listen or read to GOP’ers, they tend to come off a little way off at times and I get pretty damn angry about it.

The argument came over presidential candidate Rick Perry’s attacks on Social Security and his infinite adorations’ for illegal immigrants. Jason is as much anti-illegal immigrants as most of us, but regardless he still wants to support a presidential candidate who has a horrid record on illegal immigration.

My buddy Jason denied that Rick Perry was dead set against E-Verify and other forms of border controls from Perry. What bothered me the most; it’s the ELITIST support of pro-business and pro-corporate, and the pandering aspects of the GOP, where average American small folks are sold into believing it and KEEP supporting the party.

In other words, to be a loyal conservative or a Republican these days, you’ve got to hold corporate entities above everything else, even your own and above the average working man. In other words, what pro-corporate Republicans do, is create a movement of deceptions in attacking unionized workers as the great evil, while corporate giants are the angels.

Yes, mind you folks, I can’t stand unions either, but the problem with the hierarchies of the GOP, they believe in denying OUR own welfares, the people’s welfares and lifelines of support when hard times hit, instead KEEP providing billions of dollars in corporate welfares. That’s where I have a problem with the GOP. Get my drift?

Even Rush Limbaugh today, who I often listen to; however I never really pay mind of political propagandas he spills over the radio on a daily basis. I have finally figured out why I can’t stand Rush Limbaugh, he’s a GOP ELITIST propagandist for big business, that’s all.

What he spews on the RADIO doesn’t directly benefit me or YOU; it benefits Wall Street and their crony politicians. On his radio show today, El Rushbo was talking about groups or Republicans trying to redefine what conservatives are.

The problem with Rush, my conservative beliefs are not HIS conservative beliefs. When I complained to my buddy Jason about being sick and tired with politics under control of Wall Street, big business and corporate interests, he kind of shied away from my comment, it’s the Republican way.

So Rush and a group of Republicans and their backers would like you to believe, that if YOU do NOT support GOP pro-corporate ideologies, you are NOT conservative at all. You’re a socialist or a communist. Since when having to be pro-corporate, or business meant I had to be a conservative?

To those people, you’re either a ‘capitalist’ or socialist, there’s nothing in between. This is one big reason why Independents have left the Republican Party in droves throughout the years. They’ve GOT FED-UP with all the ‘crony capitalism’ going on in U.S. politics with the GOP.

Now the problem I have with Rick Perry, not only he’s got a whole LOT of baggage coming into the presidential race, this GUY is as crony capitalist as they come! My buddy Jason says, “Perry is the lesser of two EVILS in politics. It’s either Perry or Obama and we don’t want four more with the later.”

That’s the problem with America folks, I am getting sick and tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, that’s why were in the big mess we’re in.

We should vote for somebody who can change the direction of this country, Perry, being a big supporter of crony capitalism, pro-Wall Street GOP politicians, those behind NAFTA, WTO and other anti-American worker policies, have no business running this country any more.

That’s where Obama came with his hope and change, he said he was going to GET RID of political cronyism and regulate lobbyists in Washington. But he LIED. On the contrary, Obama became the biggest capitalist crony panderer ever seen. 

We’re getting tired of GOP Republicans subsidy suckers and regulatory fanatics that only benefit big corporate entities, mainly the oil and arms industries, while Americans are getting royally screwed.

Big business providing millions of political dollars in campaign contributions for favors and making mandates favoring corporate entities with billion dollars profits, while we’re STUCK footing the bill and that’s exactly what Governor Rick Perry espouses.

See Merck benefiting from Rick Perry mandated vaccination policies, in Merck-backed Rick Perry tried to mandate HPV vaccines for all young girls in Texas “Perry signed an executive order in 2007 mandating that all teenage girls in the Lone Star State, starting at age 12, receives dangerous HPV vaccines.

Worse, lobbyist Mike Toomey -- Merck & Co., the maker of the Gardasil, hired Toomey back in 2005 to promote the vaccine in Texas -- is now running Mr. Perry's presidential candidacy "SuperPac."

And I am afraid that Obama is no better with Obamacare, by creating mandates favoring medical industries and pharmaceuticals, with billions of dollars in profits by passing the unpopular healthcare law.

This is the KIND of ‘crony capitalism’ we want rooted OUT of our system, otherwise it will kill us. The bottom line folks, why is it so bad for Obama to do it with Obamacare and Rick Perry gets a free pass in Texas?

The collusion of big government, politicians with big business, and banks at the expense of US little guys is the problem. It’s been the problem which politicians shamelessly still pursue, right under our noses, and they think we’re DUMB as mud. What I brought up in Timothy P Carney’s Examiner opinion piece, hits it right out of the ball park on crony capitalism of the GOP. 

So now, we’re proposing to tax some of these billionaire’s fat cats, and they cry foul! But guess who in the GOP are fighting it? They are all crony capitalists, from Rush Limbaugh on to hierarchy of the Republican Party, who want to protect the wealthy, their donors while going after OUR benefits.

So now it’s class warfare, getting billionaires to pay their fair shares to help the sinking economy. So who really started this class war? Here’s what GOP is faced with in upcoming elections, Obama has self destructed yes, but the big onus on Republicans is; can they KEEP it if they GET it back?

Actually letters to the Editor at the Chronicle says it plainly, whose SIDE the people are on, certainly not for those greedy crony capitalists.
   
Class war? Bring it on I'm not sure whether I'm amused, annoyed or simply amazed when Republicans accuse anyone who talks about raising taxes on the rich as encouraging "class warfare."
The most recent example, of course, is Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, commenting on President Obama's proposed $1.5 trillion tax plan focusing on the über-wealthy.

In fact, the Republicans should be concerned about a class war. The rich have had the middle class and poor under their thumbs and boot heels (I love mixed metaphors) for a long time, and they are scared to death that the majority will rise up and take away their precious money and other toys. They will lie and cheat and steal to maintain their advantage.

Maybe in fact it's time for some class warfare in this country. The middle class certainly realizes at this point that it will never become better off waiting for the top 1 percent to toss it a few bones.
And no, those folks will never create any jobs for the likes of you and me. It's time to run them to ground and make them support the country that made them rich.” -Richard J. Stenquist, Kensington

“Class warfare has been going on over the past decade in this country. Through Republican tax policy, Republican-driven deregulation of the financial markets, Republican efforts to sustain the dominance of Big Oil, Republican changes to bankruptcy law, and Republican wars feeding the gluttony of the defense industry, America's wealth, once shared more equitably, has been confiscated by a small but voracious class now sitting at the top.
Class warfare? It's been going on right under our noses for a long time.”-Stephen Maffin, Berkeley

“What is surprising to me is that the president's proposal is a response to class warfare that has been waged against the middle-class and poor for decades.

Laws have been changed and policies modified, tax benefits given and lawmakers paid off in campaign contributions, all to direct a substantial portion of American personal wealth away from most of us and directly into the hands of less than 1 percent of our population who are undoubtedly "the rich."

This is crazy, because the rich don't shop enough to keep the rest of the economy going.
Transferring all this spending power to a few simply robs the entire economy of its most vital component: consumers. David Mischel, San Francisco

So Marc Chamot, people would ask me? Are you subscribing into the liberal agendas of taxing the rich, which is totally un-Republican and not conservative?

Here’s my answer to that question and YOU decide; my thinking is this, if GOP/Republicans agree to STOP corporate welfares, like billions of taxpayers’ dollars going to BIG oil and other pro-Wall Street ventures like the ARMS and Weapons industries that they profoundly support, and if they STOP going after OUR own welfares, such as Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment, just because there isn’t enough money to go around, then we’ll STOP bugging the RICH to pony up for their fair shares! Well, how about that for an answer?

U.S. Congress’ 2004 Millennium Challenge Corp Provided $7 Billion Dollars in Foreign Agricultural Interests, While OUR OWN Farmers ARE Struggling:

U.S. Congress’ 2004 Millennium Challenge Corp Provided $7 Billion Dollars in Foreign Agricultural Interests, While OUR OWN Farmers ARE Struggling:
By Marc Chamot & Source SF Chronicle

Want to know why we’re going belly-up, or going under, with those political regimes in Washington D.C.? It's NOT to hard to see, why most Americans despise our Federal elected officials. 

At times when the Feds, the political nut cases in Washington D.C., say that we need to make serious cuts to Social Security, Medicare, while state and federal tax bases are eroding, due to lost jobs, businesses going out of business, homes being lost and much more.

Insane as it is, our Federal government finds ways to throw YOUR and my money away, especially for foreign causes. Here’s one for you. If you’re wondering why our Washington politicians aren’t doing enough for American businesses and JOBS, it’s because this country still subsidizes billions of dollars to foreign countries.

Take this story for example, Washington has totally losing touch with the people, when California olive growers are up in arms, because the U.S. has promised Morocco, one of California’s main competitors hundreds of million dollars in subsidies to save their olive industries.

This is aid is to help stimulate their agriculture industries, including rehabilitating a million acres of existing olive trees and planting 150,000 additional acres. California’s olive industries provide work and income; they not only have been battling Morocco, but Spain too, for the diminishing lucrative black olive markets around the world.

“Here we’re struggling to survive that OUR OWN country is directly subsidizing the very place that could put us OUT of business,” says Dennis Burreson, who owns 500 acres of Manzanillo and Sevillano table olive trees in Orland California.

Basically what’s happening with those Washington pea-brained politicians, the United States government is subsidizing foreign agriculture, to cause agricultural, like black olives to lower their prices, import them into the U.S., like (China) and then make it costlier for OUR OWN farmers to farm their products, so they’ll go out of business! It is the classic case of inept politician’s formulas that’s going on in D.C. these days. Inept GOP Washington politicians at work.

While California olive farmers are having trouble of their own, from last summer’s spring rains, to gusty winds, they see the Feds could have used that scarce resource, MONEY, to help their declining industry, instead of sending it abroad.

They predict 67% loses in olive productions this year. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the publisher of this story, says in 2004, congress created the ‘millennium Challenge Corp.,’ a foreign aid agency headed by the Secretary of State, to help developing nations reduce poverty, such was the plan for NAFTA.

Unfortunately folks, we now know the answer, don’t we? Blame Bush and the 2004 GOP for creating this travesty. While those policies helped foreign entities, it destroyed US, our bottom lines.

Since its inception, the agency has authorized grants totaling $7 billion to help 23 African and Latin American countries. In 2007, the agency agreed to give Morocco $697 million over five years to improve that country’s employment rates! Yes! Their employment rates, while OURS is in total shambles folks.

“It’s disturbing indeed,” said Brendon Flynn, president of the California Olive Oil Council. “It’s difficult enough competing with countries that are being subsidized by their own governments, like (China). Now we have to compete with foreign countries being subsidized by our own country.

Reps. Wally Herger R-Marysville, and Devin Nunes R-Alpaugh have contacted Millennium, concerned that their olive constituents are getting a raw deal. U.S. led efforts, “however well-intended; to strengthen another country’s economy should not come at the expense of American farmers or businesses, particularly when funded by our taxpayer dollars!”

Amen to that my friends! Did you all notice that 2004 was President George Bush and his GOP cronies in power at the time, so what else is new about the GOP? We’re in BIG trouble folks! Yes; that is the sad story of our times indeed.

According to some Los Angeles business merchants, tax breaks don’t work, they WANT cash paying customers! Well halleluiahs folks! Doesn’t that just put a dink in Republican economical philosophies?

Tax breaks may not help businesses; merchants say “To many of the small-business owners like Ali Danial, it's not about politics. All he knows is that business is so bad that he's had to close two of his women's clothing shops in recent months and may shut two more after Christmas.

In an election year when the economy is the top issue, there's disconnect between what politicians are proposing and the hardships small-business owners in Los Angeles are feeling.

Both Republicans and Democrats talk about helping small businesses as a way to invigorate the economy, frequently by promising them an array of tax breaks. More than half of Obama's $447 billion jobs plan is devoted to tax breaks, many designed to inspire businesses to hire more employees.
"He's been saying the same thing for two years, and things aren't getting any better," GOP state party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro said. "And that's wearing on people."

Getting a tax break would be great, say shopkeepers around the garment district, but their more pressing need is customers. If business doesn't pick up soon, they won't be around to receive any tax windfalls.

"It's not just this month, it's been like this for five or six months before this," Danial said. He's noticed a change in people's attitudes over that time. "It's like now people are afraid to spend money."

If Danial closes his two underperforming stores, 12 more people would be out of work. A few more could go if he had to close his nearby Persian counter-service restaurant, where an egg, sausage and pinto bean breakfast is $4.99.

Up and down the alleys and streets of the garment district, small-business owners say they're having trouble rustling up a few thousand dollars for the monthly rent for their shops, many of which are about 1,500 square feet.

Spanish and Chinese conversations echo through the narrow alleys and sidewalks in the district, where four pairs of no-brand sunglasses can be had for $20, and a new men's suit costs $79 - less, if you're willing to dicker. Name-brand perfumes and colognes are at least $20 below department store prices.

But lately, even the low prices aren't drawing customers. Foot traffic is light on weekdays among the small storefronts and stalls. The margin of bottom-line error is narrow.

"Everybody asks for a discount when they come in," said Michael Zhang, owner of Stella Fashion. But there are few to offer. Most of the elegant teal quinceañera dresses and white, beaded wedding gowns cost $300. Zhang shook his head. "It's been very tough," he said. "Fifty percent down" from last year.

But echoing what many shopkeepers in the garment district say, Zhang insisted, "I don't care about politics. I just know my businesses."

"People are not shopping because they are afraid," Zhang said. "Either they don't have a job, or if they do have money, they're afraid to spend it because they don't know how long they'll have a job."

The Obama's plan:
Obama's proposed jobs plan would include tax breaks to businesses that hire a veteran or someone who has been out of work for more than six months.

Mike Yaurs shrugged when asked if tax breaks to hire more employees or cut payroll taxes would help. Business at Platinum Apparel, the clothing store his family owns, is down 20 percent compared with last year. It's their worst year since 2005.”

This is what I have been saying all along, Republican business strategies of giving tax breaks to create jobs don’t WORK and it hasn’t worked since the Bush tax cuts.

This is getting to be old as Al Davis’ Oakland Raiders long bombs, it’s out of style, it doesn’t work anymore and it will NOT give you any winners, just whiners. So if Republicans believe tax breaks are their solutions to the presidency, they’d better learn quickly, because I see another horrid four years with a Republican presidency.

Independents Souring on Obama & Gov. Rick Perry, New York’s 9th Congressional District Prove VOTERS Getting FED-UP with Party Agenda Politics & Policies Catering to the Few, Rather than Majority as a Whole:

Independents Souring on Obama & Gov. Rick Perry, New York’s 9th Congressional District Prove VOTERS Getting FED-UP with Party Agenda Politics & Policies Catering to the Few, Rather than Majority as a Whole:
By Marc Chamot

According to Polls: Perry's 'Ponzi Scheme' Remarks Hurts Him With Independent Voters “Texas Gov. Rick Perry's comparison of Social Security to a Ponzi scheme is not hurting -- or helping -- him with Republican primary voters, but it is not sitting well with many independents, according a Gallup poll released Friday.

Perry argues in his 2010 book "Fed Up!" that Social Security resembles a Ponzi scheme and goes on to suggest the program is contradictory to the small government spirit of the Constitution.

As many Republicans said they are more likely to vote for Perry because of his views on the entitlement program as those who say they are less likely -- 19 percent each, according to the poll.

The same poll shows that 32 percent of independents said they are less likely to vote for Perry because of his Social Security remarks, with just 12 percent saying it makes them more likely.

A plurality of Republicans said they think the issue could weaken Perry in a general election. Some 37 percent of surveyed Republicans said the issue will hurt the governor's chances against President Obama, assuming Perry is the nominee, with 17 percent saying it will give him a boost.

Among independents, 40 percent said the issue hurts Perry in a general election, and 11 percent said it helps him.”

You see folks; Rick Perry committed the cardinal sin of politics. He catered to his own group of people, rather than seeing the nation’s interest as a whole. Just as Obama, with his policies. But Rick Perry has other serious problems, like illegal immigrations.

“The New Yorker's Jane Mayer has investigated the political funding networks of Charles and David Koch, two of the wealthiest people in America and generous donors to conservative political causes. In her 6,000-word story, Mayer makes a case that the billionaire brothers have funded and fostered the Tea Party movement as a well-disguised means to pursue their private political agenda.” 

Most Americans don’t want Social Security messed with; however the hierarchies of the Tea Party, billionaires Koch brothers are behind the Tea Party to dismantle Social Security and other programs, including promoting open borders and illegal immigration for cheaper labor.

If anybody can succeed in granting amnesties to illegal immigrants, Rick Perry is their man. Over 70% overwhelmed majority, don’t support open borders and illegal immigration, most want E-Verify actively enforced, and that’s why Rick Perry might not be a good fit after all.  Rick Perry is for issues that more than 70% of Americans don’t support either, just as Obama, Read On:

Obama’s nightmares; New York Times opinion writer, Matt Bai had this to say about James Carville in James Carville’s Flawed Advice for Obama;  “He has probably been quoted more than any pundit on the planet since 1992 (which, by the way, was the last time he actually won an American campaign), but when James Carville opens his mouth, Democrats still tend to listen. And so it got a lot of people talking this week when Mr. Carville, in an open letterfor President Obama on CNN’s Web site, urged the struggling president to follow the example of some of his predecessors and just fire a bunch of people.

 “For God’s sake, why are we still looking at the same political and economic advisers that got us into this mess?” Mr. Carville asked. “It’s not working. Furthermore, it’s not going to work with the same team, the same strategy and the same excuses.”

I’d say this to both, why bother and why fire anybody? Obama is one of the BIGGEST micromanaging presidents EVER! Every policy, every U.S. department that is under his control, Obama is right there micromanaging with his hands, regardless what his advisors say.

The onus on U.S. policy FAILURES lays directly on Obama not his advisors. Actually, President Obama did EVERYTHING that Carville and his laptop New York Times writer Matt Bai and liberal Democrats wanted. They’ve got their man at the White House, who successfully pushed for national healthcare, the Obamacare agendas.

They also wanted someone to massively increase spending, by providing wasteful stimuli. Obama not once, but twice pushed for the DREAM Act and other FAVORS for undocumented aliens. They’ve gotten a president that would eliminate DADT, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell in the U.S. military.

President Obama created stricter environmental regulations that would make environmentalists PROUD, even if it killed American jobs. And labor UNIONS got everything, every favor they wanted, they got government construction contracts.

Obama got two liberals in the Supreme Court, and American Indians and black farmers got paid $4.6 billion “to address claims of government mistreatment over many decades under landmark legislation President Barack Obama signed Wednesday.

The legislation "closes a long and unfortunate chapter in our history," Obama said. "It's finally time to make things right."

Obama promised during his campaign to work toward resolving disputes over the government's past discrimination against minorities. The measure he signed settles a pair of long-standing class-action lawsuits. The measure also settles four long-standing disputes over Native American water rights in Arizona, New Mexico and Montana.”

So what’s the PANIC all about? Well, this is the problem folks. President Obama delivered on his hope and change, but NOT for the majority of affected Americans. Only his hope and change was mainly for the benefit of smaller sectors, special interests and minorities, rather than GOOD for the majority of Americans.

This is exactly what I mean folks; Americans are getting sick and tired of agendas, Fed-Up of party political agenda politics, Identity politics and so forth, and that’s why Republicans were thrashed in 2006 and 2008, and that’s what’s happening to Democrats now.

In other words, President Obama catered to the few, rather than for the majority. That’s why Obama has dismal job approval ratings, between 35 to 43 percent, with 70% disapproving his handling the economy.

Independents have abandoned the president in droves resulting in stunning losses in New York’s 9th congressional district, a strongly held Democratic district, more than 5-1 registered Democrats, since 1923 went Republican!

Just as Independents are dumping Perry now, we've had HAD enough of agenda politics! Hopefully Republicans, and maybe Mitt Romney can learn from all this experience or else, they’ll get the BOOT too!

WikiLeaks Reveals North American Union Plan, the Wanton Destruction of American Sovereign Rights/Constitution & Average U.S. Wages Collapsing, While 46.2 Million Americans Living in Poverty:

WikiLeaks Reveals 'North American Union Plan,' the Wanton Destruction of American Sovereign Rights/Constitution & Average U.S. Wages Collapsing, While 46.2 Million Americans Living in Poverty:
By Marc Chamot

This day has finally come, where we are realizing our fate and wanton economical/JOBS and destruction of our country is REALLY happening right before OUR eyes.

What these new revelations are revealing, what the ELITISTS, and the Wall Street bunches, U.S. Corporations along with their American politicians cronies, the sold out political hacks for Wall Street efforts and interests, have finally succeeded in what they wanted to do, destroying the American working man and his dreams.

“And so they find, that 27.8 million adults earn less than two-thirds of the median wage (or 24 percent), while 22 million, or 19 percent, have wages that "put them below the poverty line for a family of four." (The poverty line is $20,000 a year for a family of four) What's more, people in low-wage jobs have more difficulty getting insurance, access to child care, and tend not to have pensions.”

Is the American Tea Party prescribed to those new revelations that came out recently?

New Top Secret WikiLeaks Document Confirms North American Union Plan, “A secret document recently released by WikiLeaks reveals a high level US ambassador promoting amerger of the United States, Canada, and Mexico into one combined consumer and labor market, with a common currency and a mutual electronic security perimeter with less focus on physical borders. The secret documents reveal a well developed plan that advocates secrecy, an incremental approach as not to alarm the public.

The document clearly states, that the plan is to prevent US efforts to protect citizens from terrorism or disease from interfering with commerce and other financial interests. The documents also advocate that promotion of this plan focus on "individual firms, industries or travelers, and especially consumers" instead of the nations as a whole.

This high level leak appears to validate earlier concerns by many groups of plans to create a new government, which would supersede the sovereignty of America, Canada, and Mexico in a way similar to the European Union. Critics of these merger plans call the plan the North American Union. Supporters of the plan call it the North American Community or North American Integration (NAI).

"It is conspiracy, but it is no theory," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "These traitors are trying to conceal their plans, but they are out in the open now. They are trying to force an economic union on America that is not ratified by the US Congress, not authorized by the US Constitution, and not approved of by the American public. This plan is being facilitated by the non enforcement of our existing immigration and border laws."

Americans were shocked to learn in 2005 and 2006 that millions of illegal aliens had been imported into America and were now marching in the streets demanding legalization, citizenship, voting rights, and taxpayer resources. Federal lawmakers loyal to the North American Integration plans have claimed "our immigration systems are broken" when in fact the immigration systems have been compromised by those advocating a merger of the populations of America, Mexico, and Canada.

Other examples of this economic union plan which has been pursued by Presidents Bush and Obama, can be found in the writings of Dr. Robert Pastor of American University, in releases by the Council on Foreign Relations such as "Building a North American Community," and in announcements made by heads of state in all three countries supporting the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP).

"North American integration requires American disintegration. Americans would never voluntarily enter into this devilish arrangement that would disintegrate the United States beneath a larger super state; and a new government which would destroy the existing US Constitution and borders," said William Gheen. 

Are these Tea Party affiliations? "This is why these elite banking, business, and political influences are flooding America with rampant illegal immigration and hyper legal immigration. They are conquering the freedom-loving innocent citizens of America by bringing in outsiders who will replace us incrementally in our jobs and homes."

While news of this recent WikiLeaks disclosure is circulating on the Internet, Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is releasing the news and documents to the nation today via national press release.

American citizens are encouraged to take appropriate steps to organize in defense of the nation, and prepare to politically challenge and defeat those pursuing this unlawful, unconstitutional, and nation-destroying agenda.”  

First let me get this; the American TEA PARTY is supporting Texas Governor Rick Perry for U.S. president, and who is firm believer in open borders, anti-Social Security, NAFTA and for pro-illegal immigrations, well folks? Something stinks here and obviously, there is something very wrong with the Tea Party picture, because most seem to be supporting those pro-Wall Street Capitalists ideas.

As results of years political-corporate and Wall Street cronyisms and mismanagements of our national affairs; Record number of Americans living in poverty “Last year, 46.2 million Americans lived in poverty--the highest total since record keeping began more than half a century ago, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.

Thanks to an unemployment rate that averaged 9.6 percent, and anemic economic growth, the share of Americans who lived below the official poverty line rose to 15.1 percent, up from 14.3 percent in 2009. That marks the fourth straight year that the rate has climbed.”

The figure for children was even higher -- 22 percent. “The Census Bureau defines as poor any individual person living on an income of less than $11,139, and any family living on an income of less than $22,314.

The percentage of people living below the poverty line is now approaching levels not seen since President Johnson launched the War on Poverty in 1965. And the total would have been higher still--by around 3.2 million people--were it not for the existence of unemployment benefits, according to an estimate by the National Employment Law Project, which advocates for a stronger unemployment insurance system.

In addition, the Census Bureau reported that median household income, adjusted for inflation, fell 2.3 percent last year, to $49,445. That's lower than it was in 1997, according to New York Times economics correspondent David Leonhardt--a finding he calls "chilling."

U.S. Poverty Reaches a 17-Year Record High “The number of impoverished Americans climbed to a 17-year high in 2010 bringing the official poverty rate to 15.1 percent, according to new figures released by the Census Bureau today. With a stubbornly high 9.1 percent unemployment rate, more Americans fell below the poverty line for a total of 46.2 million in poverty up from 14.3 million in 2009. To put it in simpler terms, that means one in every six Americans now falls below the poverty line. CNN Money fleshes out the details:

The government defines the poverty line as income of $22,314 a year for a family of four and $11,139 for an individual. The Office of Management and Budget updates the poverty line each year to account for inflation.

As for middle-class American families, income fell in 2010. The median household income was $49,445, down slightly from $49,777 the year before.

Making matters worse, the Associated Press notes that the number of people in need of health insurance increased to 29.9 million, "a new high after revisions were made to 2009 figures. Losses were due mostly to working-age Americans who lost employer-provided insurance in the weak economy." Important to note, the major provisions in President Obama's signature health care overhaul don't go into place until 2014.”

And there’s more my friends; A job today is less likely to come with good wages and benefits like health insurance and pensions than it was in recent years. At a time when a great deal of attention is focused on how we can create more jobs, Paul Osterman, economist at Sloan School of Business at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, says we should be worried about quality as well as quantity. 

"The quantity of jobs is important. But it's also important to care about how good those jobs are."
Osterman, the co-author, with Beth Shulman, of Good Jobs America: Making Work Better for Everyone¸ was my guest on the Daily Ticker. His systematic investigation into the ravages of low-paying work yielded several interesting conclusions.

Osterman and Shulman define a good job as one that pays two-thirds of the median wage, or about $11.61 per hour. And so they find, that 27.8 million adults earn less than two-thirds of the median wage (or 24 percent), while 22 million, or 19 percent, have wages that "put them below the poverty line for a family of four." (The poverty line is $20,000 a year for a family of four) What's more, people in low-wage jobs have more difficulty getting insurance, access to child care, and tend not to have pensions.

Americans have tended to dismiss such alarming data because people frequently start at the bottom of the wage scale and work their way up. But the data show that mobility isn't what it used to be. Many of these jobs are traps, Osterman says.

"We have this image of mobility. Most people in these poverty jobs stay there." As he and Shulman write: "Of children born in the bottom 20 percent of the income distribution in the late 1960s, 41 percent remained there as adults in the late 1990s." Worse, long periods of economic growth don't inflate the problems away.

Osterman cites several other myths surrounding popular perception of low-wage jobs. Among them: it's all China's fault. "A lot of them [low-paying jobs] are in service sectors where we aren't competing with China, like health care and restaurants." Thirty-one percent of the low-wage workers are in the retail and food/drink industries. 

"Whereas in the past poverty was associated with agricultural work and grinding factory jobs, today many low-wage workers are found in service and white-collar jobs," they write.

And while private-sector companies are more likely than government or non-profits to pay lower wages, it's not true that all government jobs come with high pay and posh benefits. "People who work in the cafeterias in school systems, or do landscaping in them, are paid minimum wage," Osterman said. "Too many public sector jobs are low-wage jobs, and too many companies to whom the public sector outsources work pay low wages."

This is not an ideological mono-causal book. Osterman and Shulman note that immigration of low-skilled workers — legal and illegal — play a role. They note that companies that pay above-market wages for less-skilled work don't always get rewarded with greater productivity and higher profits. 

While companies have built business models around paying the lowest possible cost for labor, in ways that violate policies and occasionally the law, "I don't want to attack greedy bosses," Osterman said. "Most companies are under intense pressure and trying to do their best."

They acknowledge that low wages at Wal-Mart ultimately benefit many consumers. But the reality is that a general decline in labor market standards — brought about by competition, the decline of labor unions, out-of-date regulations, and a general societal indifference — is causing a race to the bottom in several large industries.”

All I can say my dear friends; day of reckoning with the American people is coming very soon!
