U.S. Has Killed Four U.S. Citizens in Drone Strikes, Holder Says

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-05-22/u-s-has-killed-four-u-s-citizens-in-drone-strikes-holder-says.html

U.S. drone strikes have killed four American citizens in
counterterrorism operations since 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder
disclosed today to lawmakers.
Holder, in a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman
Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, said the U.S. “specifically
targeted and killed one U.S. citizen,” al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar
Al-Awlaki, and the government is aware of three other citizens killed
since 2009.

In a First, U.S. Admits Drones Have Killed 4 Americans

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/us/us-acknowledges-killing-4-americans-in-drone-strikes.html?_r=0

WASHINGTON — One day before President Obama is due to deliver a major
speech on national security, his administration on Wednesday formally
acknowledged that the United States had killed four American citizens
in drone strikes in Yemen and Pakistan.

In a letter to Congressional leaders obtained by The New York Times,
Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. disclosed that the administration
had deliberately killed Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric who
was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen.

The American responsibility for Mr. Awlaki’s death has been widely
reported, but the administration had until now refused to confirm or
deny it.

The letter also said that the United States had killed three other
Americans: Samir Khan, who was killed in the same strike; Mr. Awlaki’s
son Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, who was also killed in Yemen; and Jude
Mohammed, who was killed in a strike in Pakistan.

“These individuals were not specifically targeted by the United
States,” Mr. Holder wrote.

While rumors of Mr. Mohammed’s death had appeared in local news
reports in Raleigh, N.C., where he lived, his death had not been
confirmed by the United States government until Wednesday.

According to former acquaintances of Mr. Mohammed in North Carolina,
he appears to have been killed in a November 2011 drone strike in
South Waziristan, in Pakistan’s tribal area. Mr. Mohammed’s wife, whom
he had met and married in Pakistan, subsequently called his mother in
North Carolina to tell her of his death, the friends say.

Mr. Holder, in a speech at Northwestern University Law School last
year, laid out the administration’s basic legal thinking that American
citizens who are deemed to be operational terrorists, who pose an
“imminent threat of violent attack” and whose capture is infeasible
may be targeted. That abstract legal thinking — including an elastic
definition of what counts as “imminent” — was further laid out in an
unclassified white paper provided to Congress last year, which was
leaked earlier this year.

Oh my dear god you're an idiot. No, actually it's worse. You're lying and
you know it. Bush was a man of honor and loved this country. Obama is
corrupt piece of shit and hates the country. This is not about YOU and how
you want to be perceived as above the fray, you moderate fuck. This about
the survival of your country and so far you haven't lifted a finger. Vomit.

No Eddie I believe in truth. You and those like Zepp and Gary are so
alike. We must believe as you say without evidence to support it.

Iraq was because Bush was a idiot. You don't start 2 wars at one
time. If he hadn't done so Iran wouldn't be such a problem now and
maybe Afghanistan would be over. Face it Bush had daddy issues.

Obama just has issues. One he has no control of his own
administration or wants us to believe all these scandals are not his
doing.

Personally I'd have a hard time deciding which is the biggest idiot.
Although have to admit OBOBO is the great dividers. Divide and

He has control and his underlings are doing his bidding, stupid shit. How
DARE you compare Bush with him. Your position as a middle of the roader is

Did you miss his executive orders?



http://www.shtfplan.com/headline-news/executive-action-obama-to-ban-importation-of-ammo-magazines-and-gun-accessories-without-congressional-approval_04232013

Over the course of the last month, while Americans were distracted with
the threat of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula and the devastation
wrought by the Boston bombings, President Obama was quietly working
behind the scenes to craft laws and regulations that will further erode
the Second Amendment.

Congress, and thus We the People, may have unequivocally rejected
federal legislation in March which aimed to outlaw most semi-automatic
rifles, restrict magazine capacity, and force national registration, but
that didn�t stop the President from ceding regulatory control over
firearms importation to the United Nations just two weeks later. What
the UN Arms Trade Treaty, passed without media fanfare by 154 counties,
would do is to restrict the global trade of, among other things, small
arms and light weapons. Opponents of the treaty argue that loopholes
within the new international framework for global gun control may make
it illegal for Americans to purchase and import firearms manufactured
outside of the United States.

To further his gun-grabbing agenda, however, President Obama and his
administration didn�t stop there.

Now they�re taking another significant step against Americans� right to
bear arms � and they�re doing it through Presidential Executive Action,
a strategy that, once again, bypasses Congressional oversight and the
legislative process.

�it appears that the BHO Administration is taking executive action on
firearms importation. Take a few minutes to read this: After Senate
setback, Obama quietly moving forward with gun regulation. Here is the
key portion of the article:

�The Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services � U.S.
Munitions Import List references executive orders, amends ATF
regulations and clarifies Attorney General authority �to designate
defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for
purposes of permanent import controls,� among other clauses specified in
heavy legalese requiring commensurate analysis to identify just what the
administration�s intentions are. Among the speculations of what this
could enable are concerns that importing and International Traffic in
Arms Regulations [ITAR] may go forward to reflect key elements within
the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.�[Emphasis added.]

Depending on how it is implemented, the implications of this change
could be huge. With the stroke a of a pen and without the consent of
Congress, ATF bureaucrats could make ANY gun part or accessory
(including magazines) or ammunition that were originally manufactured or
perhaps even those designed for military use no longer legal for
importation for civilian use. That might mean no more milsurp parts
sets. No more milsurp magazines. No more milsurp ammo. No more milsurp
optics. Perhaps not even spare firing pins. This could be ugly.

I strongly recommend that you stock up on magazines, ammunition and
spare parts for any of your imported military pattern guns, as soon as
possible! Once an import ban is implemented, prices will skyrocket.

Source: James Rawles� Survival Blog via The Prepper Website

Just five days ago the President vowed to push forward on gun control
without Congress and Nancy Pelosi argued that no matter what Congress
says, gun control is inevitable.

This latest round of Executive Actions is what they meant.

A direct on attack on the second amendment is difficult if not
impossible, so they are trying to slither their way in through the
backdoor by restricting international trade so we can�t import new
firearms, by restricting access to accessories and gun parts, by heavily
taxing ammunition and gun purchases, by mandating policies like forcing
gun owners to have liability insurance, and of course, by identifying
potentially dangerous gun owners and simply taking their firearms
because of public safety concerns.

The President recently suggested that the American people have spoken,
and that they want guns to be restricted, banned and heavily regulated.

If that�s so, then how is that a bipartisan Congress overwhelmingly
rejected the President�s bid to restrict and outlaw private ownership of
millions of weapons and gun accessories?

Going through the United Nations and now implementing Executive Actions
to bypass America�s Constitutionally mandated system of checks and
balances is an act of desperation.

Those who would take our rights have been left with no choice but to try
and force their agenda upon us through dictatorial means.

Marxist communism never existed in practice. All "communist" revolutions
stall at the socialist stage, which Marx thought would be temporary and
would "wither away" once the classless communist society had been
achieved.

As Marx should have expected, socialist leaders never relinquish their
power to the masses, and the result is a feudal caste system with two
distinct and permanent classes, the ruling aristocracy or Party and the
powerless serfs or proles.

George Orwell may have been the first to notice the fascist tendencies of
so-called "communist" revolutionaries (the following passage is a bit
long, but is very relevant):


- - - - - -
"Throughout recorded time, and probably since the end of the Neolithic
Age, there have been three kinds of people in the world, the High, the
Middle, and the Low."

"For long periods the High seem to be securely in power, but sooner or
later there always comes a moment when they lose either their belief in
themselves or their capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are
then overthrown by the Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by
pretending to them that they are fighting for liberty and justice. As
soon as they have reached their objective, the Middle thrust the Low back
into their old position of servitude, and themselves become the High."

"[I]n each variant of Socialism that appeared from about 1900 onwards the
aim of establishing liberty and equality was more and more openly
abandoned. The new movements which appeared in the middle years of the
century, Ingsoc in Oceania, Neo-Bolshevism in Eurasia, Death-Worship, as
it is commonly called, in Eastasia, had the conscious aim of perpetuating
UNfreedom and INequality."

"These new movements, of course, grew out of the old ones and tended to
keep their names and pay lip-service to their ideology. But the purpose
of all of them was to arrest progress and freeze history at a chosen
moment. The familiar pendulum swing was to happen once more, and then
stop. As usual, the High were to be turned out by the Middle, who would
then become the High; but this time, by conscious strategy, the High
would be able to maintain their position permanently."

"The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism,
by Emmanuel Goldstein"

Not really.

http://www.mtgriffith.com/web_documents/taxcutmyths.htm

Under Clinton revenue grew by 35%, but spending grew by 9%.

he economy grew modestly after Clinton raised taxes in 1993, but the
economy grew even more after Clinton signed the tax cuts that were
passed by the Republican-controlled Congress under Newt Gingrich’s
leadership in 1997.

Dr. J. D. Foster:

Following the [Clinton] tax hike, the economy performed reasonably well,
but not as well as one would expect given the conditions at the time.
The real economic boom came later in the decade, just when the economy
should have slowed as it made the transition from a period of recovery
to normal expansion. Further, this acceleration coincided to a
remarkable degree with the 1997 tax cut. . . .

In 1997, the Republican-led Congress passed a tax-relief and
deficit-reduction bill that was resisted but ultimately signed by
President Clinton. The 1997 bill:

* Lowered the top capital gains tax rate from 28 percent to 20 percent;
* Created a new $500 child tax credit;
* Established the new Hope and Lifetime Learning tax credits to reduce
the after-tax costs of higher education;
* Extended the air transportation excise taxes;
* Phased in an increase in the estate tax exemption from $600,000 to $1
million;
* Established Roth IRAs and increased the income limits for deductible IRAs;
* Established education IRAs;
* Conformed AMT depreciation lives to regular tax lives; and
* Phased in a 15 cent-per-pack increase in the cigarette tax. . . .

In 1995, the first year for which these data are available, just over $8
billion in venture capital was invested. Venture capital is especially
critical to a vibrant economy because high-risk/high-return investment
permits promising new businesses to blossom, rapidly spreading new
technologies and new ideas into the marketplace and across the economy.
Such investments, when successful, generate returns to investors that
are subject primarily to the tax on capital gains. By 1998, the first
full year in which the lower capital gains rates were in effect, venture
capital activity reached almost $28 billion, more than a three-fold
increase over 1995 levels, and by 1999, it had doubled yet again.

No Clinton was able to work with conservatives. Obama is not.

I liked Clinton while in office. If he could run again would consider
voting for him. He is better than Palin or Perry.

I for one be more likely to vote for a center right or Center left
candidate. Obama doesn't fit that. He is way left. Like the liberal
poster boys on here Zepp and Yoorghis.

No, it hasn't. If government shrank under Chairman Obama you would be
calling him a traitor, Nazi, and Republican. But please do provide an
example of how government has shrunk under Obama. A real example, not
just an opinion that Paul Krugman or Rachel Bladdow farted.

"Mitchell Holman" makes a valid point, correctly observing that the size
and power of government has always expanded when Republicans held power.
This is why I oppose Republicans, because I recognize them for the pseudo-
libertarian theofascists they really are. I even abandoned my lifetime
support for the Libertarian Party after it was overrun by "former"
Republicans fleeing their Party like rats on a sinking ship.

This has not stopped leftards like quack from accusing me of being a
Republican sympathizer, their crack-addled brains unable to distinguish
between libertarianism and theofascism. In fact, I am so far left that I
have gone around full-circle and only appear to be to the right of
bleating quacktards who believe politics is flat.

Well he was guilty of perjury and should have just told the truth.
His sex life mattered little to me as I'd rather have a half decent
President at doing his job than one that looks honest but smells of
being s snake oil salesmen like Obama and Bush.

Then again I'm center right in my politics.

He wasn't actually impeached by the Senate. Those calling for Obama's
impeachment are idiots.

everything. Well more socialist in nature maybe. We need a good work
ethic in this country nor more freeloaders.

Many of the EU countries show the danger in that. France tried

Well to you a Democrat never lies. Me he should have said yes I had
sex and moved on. I really could have cared less.

No matter what you say he was MUCH better than Obama even on his worse
day.

Impeachment was just stupid. Never going to happen. then or now.

Then again we have learned Obama is as honest as a snake oil salesmen.
