Traffic Cams Now Persuasive Authority ~ "Perfect Citizen" Surveillance Program to Monitor Private Networks for Cyber Attacks

“ A U.S. military official called the program long overdue and said any intrusion into privacy is no greater than what the public already endures from traffic cameras. ”

Here's my difficulty with this. "Perfect Citizen?" Who's naming these new government programs, George Orwell? I've reached point of being more afraid of this goverment than external enemies. NSA "sensors" placed in the network?  Hello? 95% of internal threats to our infrastructure could be caught with wire taps on Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, George Soros and Goldman Sachs.   Look it up.

JMcD sent me this article titled Woman’s land will go to Akron mission. “ A preacher’s wife who died last year at age 95, Petry gifted her house and 21 acres of prime real estate to Haven of Rest, a rescue mission for the homeless in Akron. Not only did she want Haven of Rest to get it, she added a few stipulations to the gift in her will: Family friend Jim Kirby could live in the house, if he chose, until he died, and the mission could only sell the property to someone who would use it for a religious purpose. The clauses created a dilemma for those trying to administer her nearly $1 million estate, and for many organizations named as benefactors, who also stood to inherit some money. So earlier this year, Valentine, the executrix of the estate, filed a complaint in court. In doing so, she basically asked Stark County Probate Judge Dixie Park for direction. ” I'm reading this, wondering if there was a point to this story?  Yup.  There was. “ According to court filings, retired Judge Dennis R. Clunk mediated this settlement: Haven of Rest will pay Kirby $30,000 to give up claim to the house; Haven of Rest will take possession of the house and property — and Petry’s caveat that the land be used for a religious purpose will be void. Park said the religious purpose clause contained in the will didn’t have legal teeth. She said courts have consistently found such hand-tying language on future use to be discriminatory. ” Let's say that Mrs. Petry had instead directed that the property could only be resold to the Communist Party, or Obama reelection campaign, or Muslims?  Is there one chance in a thousand that Judge Dixie Park would have voided it?  I think not, but that's beside the point.  Judge Park had no right to dissolve Mrs. Petry's covenant.  Period.

Meet Eric Holder's friend King Samir Shabazz

A close friend, then an Atlanta cop, and his partner responded to a reported burglary.  It was a high profile call because the victim was the girlfriend of new Atlanta mayor, Maynard Jackson.  One of the items stolen was a tape recorder (back when they cost real money).  She had no serial number, so they asked mayhaps she had a tape made on the machine, in the off chance it  contained some electronic signature in the event they found the perp.  She dutifully produced one from a dresser, on top of which was a large bag of dope, and paraphnailia.   They read her rights and  arrested her.  All hell broke loose!   The charges were eventually dropped after the evidence, somehow, went missing from the property room just before her trial. Here's the good part, however.  The tape she gave them was made at a soiree attended by Mayor Jackson and his friend, and later mayor himself,  Andrew Young.  Both were high on the "great dope," and joking about how sweet it was that " the crackers" would now be dancing to tunes played by the Black man.  All very racist stuff.  My friend's partner was so incensed over the obvious manipulation of the dope case,  that he made copies of the tape which, somehow, began showing up for sale in convenience stores across South Georgia.  Meet Eric Holder and Barry Obama's  good friend, King Samir Shabazz.  "You want freedom? You gonna have to kill some crackers!"

Democrats Squelched

Too,too yummy

EAT ME! I ran across this story (via Free Republic) that is decadently delicious.  I seems that after Sarah Palin accepted the VP slot on the McCain ticket, the campaign, knowing how democrats operate, established a completely transparent legal defense fund to pay legal fees resulting from anticipated allegations related to her service as governor. “ On cue, within minutes of the announcement of Governor Patin's trust, a complaint was filed. And, the first "independent counsel" selected to investigate the trust was the Alaska office of Perkins Coie (President Barack Obama's law firm). . ” Here's the fun part.  Since everybody knows how Democrats operate,  ---> "the language of the proposed trust fund was drafted to directly mirror the language and provisions used by the John Kerry Trust fund." . “ Indeed, former Democratic Presidential nominee Senator Kerry's trust was drafted by the same Perkins Coie, President Barack Obama's law firm. Apparently before realizing that Governor Palin's trust was nearly identical to the trust Perkins Coie prepared for John Kerry, the Perkins Coie "independent counsel" found in a detailed nine page “CONFIDENTIAL” letter -- that was promptly leaked to the media — that Gov. Palin's trust was illegal. Ridicule ensued. In addition, once the conflict of interest between representing President Obama and investigating Gov. Sarah Palin became public, the Perkins Coie "independent counsel" resigned. And so, a new second "independent counsel" (with no background or expertise in the area of legal expense funds) began the investigation anew. ” Read the outcome here. Had you heard this before?  Not me.

Netanyahu’s bodyguard guns disappear. Welcome to the USA!

“     Not even officers from Israeli security service Shin Bet can escape the scourge of lost [and stolen] luggage it seems.     A bag belonging to agents travelling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was mistakenly put on a flight from New York to Los Angeles, not to Washington. Alarmingly the bag contained four 9mm Glock handguns, which are now missing…     The Israeli officers were accompanying Mr Netanyahu to Washington for White House talks with President Barack Obama.     NBC News reported that the handguns had, in accordance with security procedures at New York’s John F Kennedy airport, been placed inside checked luggage. The luggage was then supposed to be put on a connecting flight to Washington however, American Airlines workers at the airport instead sent it right across the country to LAX in Los Angeles.     By the time the luggage was located and recovered, the guns had disappeared, and are presumed to have been stolen.

Stuff

We have here a 3 in 1 post.  interesting premise; an ad homonym "birther" dis, circular password idiocy.

YOU GET IT ALL! I read John Podhoretz's  Patriotic opposition Loving a nation that elected O  last week.  “   How are those of us who stand in opposition to the domestic agenda and foreign-policy views of President Obama and his administration to think about this country in 2010 as we approach the nation's birthday on Sunday? Or, to put it another way: How should a self-described patriot think, act and talk about the United States if that self-described patriot believes the elected leadership of the United States has led the country into a ditch that threatens to expand into a bottomless chasm? Does the fault lie with the president and his party, or does it reside in the electorate that installed them? If it resides in the electorate, what does that say about the condition of the United States? In the case of Barack Obama, the root questions are: Who is he and why is he doing this? ” Here's where I got sidetracked. “ Opponents answer the question in many ways, from the clear-cut (he's a Chicago Democrat) to the more suggestive (he's a 1970s-era campus leftist) to the silly (he wasn't born in America) to the sinister (he's a secret Muslim or Communist). ” In the comments, I wanted to ask Mr.  Podhoretz (whom I hold in high regard);  "John, which documents proffered  by Obama did you find most convincing inre his Hawaiian birth?"   Of course I had to sign in, which I did using my New York Post password - that did not work.  Okay, lets try "I forgot my password."   Nope.  "We have no record of anyone using that e-mail address." Okay, I'll  register for a new password.  "That e-mail address is already in use." Sigh.  Maybe Podhoretz reads this blog and will answer?
