Support An Obama Vs. Snowden Public Debate!

June 12th, 2013 | Posted by jclifford in Activism | Barack Obama | Video - (0 Comments)

Yesterday, I wrote of a petition in the official White House system that demands the resignation of Barack Obama over his continuation and expansion of a massive military electronic surveillance dragnet that is targeted against the American people. There are now over 20,000 signatures on that petition. When the number of signatures reaches 100,000, Barack Obama will be forced to officially respond to the demand for his resignation from office.

obama debate edward snowdenAn even more delicious petition in the White House system has come to my attention in the meantime. This petition demands that Barack Obama engage in a public, one-hour debate with Edward Snowden, the man who heroically exposed the unconstitutional Big Brother spying program, and who is now on the run from the feds.

The petition reads, “President Obama, you have said that the NSA’s blanket tracking of Americans’ phone calls and collaboration with tech giants “struck the right balance” and that you “welcome this debate”. You must agree that this issue is worthy of your time, and as our president you are the best qualified person to make the case in favor of broad surveillance. To make the opposing case, we can think of no one better than whistleblower Edward Snowden. Like you, he has access to the data showing the tradeoff between securing America and damaging democracy (which at this point the public does not). He speaks with breathtaking clarity, and has left behind a comfortable life, facing death for the strength of his convictions. If you are as strong in yours, you owe him (and us) 1 hour of your time for this.”

Until Barack Obama can summon the courage to face Edward Snowden, here’s another debate: This one is the debate over extreme government surveillance programs between Barack Obama the presidential candidate and Barack Obama the President.

Green Shadow Cabinet Blasts Obama For Secret Courts

Did you vote for Obama? If so, you voted for the monstrous military spying network that has been targeted against America’s civilian population.

Let’s be honest about this: Since 2008, it’s been quite clear, to those who cared enough to pay attention, that Barack Obama never had any intention of dismantling George W. Bush’s electronic surveillance operations. In 2008, Senator Obama broke his previous promises and voted in favor of the FISA Amendments Act. We protested it. Voters ignored it.

In 2009, independent progressives did their best to hold Obama to his promise that he would reform the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act. But, we pointed out that Barack Obama kept the NSA spying going. A talking toilet from Irregular Times spread the warning that, under Barack Obama, the military’s National Security Agency was spying on Americans. Yes, we were so desperate to get the word out that we animated a talking toilet.

Democrats pretended it wasn’t happening. Obama got re-elected.

All the while, the Green Party has been paying attention, and speaking out against the Homeland Security surveillance state. In 2012, Jill Stein solidly criticized Obama for continuing George W. Bush’s old anti-liberty policies.

Now, in 2013, the presidential campaign is over, but the Green Party has not grown silent. The Green Shadow Cabinet is speaking out in protest against the National Security Agency’s spying against the American people.

Shahid Buttar, the Director of Civil Rights Enforcement, has responded to the revelations of Barack Obama’s unconstitutional seizure of millions of Verizon telephone records by pointing out the a larger context to the problem: When extraordinary powers are wielded by the government, we can’t trust secret courts to protect our constitutional rights. Buttar writes, “Courts exist to enforce our rights in the face of government abuses. That’s one of the central geniuses of the founding fathers and the system of checks and balances they constructed. But when the decisions are secret, they stop being judicial in character. Law is built on mutual references among courts. When the law can’t reference itself, it stops being law, and emerges as something very different: in this case, a rubber stamp allowing any manner of dragnet violations impacting law-abiding Americans and our fundamental rights.”

Fledging Titmice

Though there are many problems in the world, not everything is falling apart. For six titmice who had been growing in a hole in a maple tree outside my home, things are looking much brighter today.

Why Are Christians Upset About The Next Day By David Bowie?

May 10th, 2013 | Posted by Rowan in Media | Religion | Video - (9 Comments)

The following is the music video for his song The Next Day. Why would we post it here? Why would you watch it? Well…

YouTube censored the video. The Catholic League and the Archbishop of Canterbury are in a tizzy of outrage about it, which shows priests hanging out and dancing around with sexy young people (which is something that apparently does happen). There’s a stigmatification, and some eyeballs, and blood.

What’s the big deal? There’s a whole lot more gore and sex in the Christians’ holy book than what’s contained in this short video. So, why ban it? Why would Christians get offended?

Perhaps they’re miffed that someone made something a bit more interesting than the tired old material they’ve been working with?

Does Jim Carrey Deserve To Burn For Mocking American Gun Owners?

March 27th, 2013 | Posted by F. G. Fitzer in Religion | Video - (5 Comments)

These days, American gun owners are seeking to prove that, despite the fact that they have a particular interest in owning weapons designed to inflict painful death and devastating injuries, they are trustworthy people who should be given the benefit of the doubt. But how can they make their case?

Here’s one argument that’s probably not going to be effective: People who mock gun owners are going to be chased down by a two thousand year-old zombie who will burn them alive for daring to express opposition to gun rights.

That’s the argument made by an angry gun owner going under the code name “Arizona”, who writes, “JIM CARREY,has a short time left in this world ,as does all the other demoncrates in california,so let him have all the fun he wants,HIS TICKET has already been punched by his own hand,LUCIFER will welcome him home again,ALL the hollywood demoncrates are leaving soon and thats the good news,they traded their soul for stardoom,and soon it will be payday for their daddy LUCIFER,cause he will be collecting up their soul for transport to hell,tis,tis,tis,they made their choice,and SO did JIM CARREY.”

What do you think? Would you want to be anywhere close to “Arizona” while he’s got a gun in his hands?

The Jim Carrey comments are referring to the following video:

Looking for the Microchip on my Arms March 23 2013… It’s There! (Documentary Video)

March 23rd, 2013 | Posted by Jim Cook in Barack Obama | Humor and Fun | Mysteries | Video - (4 Comments)

Right wing and other conspiratorial websites like News With Views and Before It’s News have been sharing bold predictions about Obamacare microchips in their headlines, their Facebook posts and their Tweets over the past year or two:

“Micro Chip Implant Coming March 23, 2013″

“The New Health Care (Obama care) law H.R. 3590 Also HR 4872 requires all US citizens to have the RIFD microchip implanted. It will contain all your personal data heath and bank accounts etc. Its also a GPS device being monitored. they can deactivate it at any time if they find you suspicious or not loyal to their government or go against them or their system and you will lose everything you ever had.”

You may have seen these predictions… but now March 23 2013 is HERE! In this video, I look for my microchip … and I find a microchip right there ON MY ARM.

Documentary evidence! What more could you ask for? Oh, it’s here, all right. It’s here.
