GOPDD:Full Audio: Sheriff Arpaio’s Lead Obama Investigator Drops Bombs On White House‏

by reasonvoice

MAKE SURE NO MATTER WHAT YOU HEAR THE AUDIO 1/2 WAY DOWN!
FOLKS – THIS COULD BE THE BIG ONE. I KNOW, KNOW, WE’VE BEEN WAITING AND WAITING… NOTHING RIGHT? WELL, IF YOU’VE FOLLOWED THIS CASE AS CLOSE AS I HAVE THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF MILESTONES WORTHY OF TAKING NOTICE. YOU DON’T TAKE DOWN THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH OVER NIGHT.  
ARE YOU READY? 
THEY HAVE FINALLY ANNOUNCED A DATE… OR CLOSE TO ONE
THEY PLAN TO REVEAL ALL IN MARCH, HOWEVER, IF YOU LISTEN TO THE AUDIO BELOW, THEY KEEP UNCOVERING MORE AND MORE AND MORE DAMNING EVIDENCE… SO THEY KEEP PILING ON.  
OBAMA WILL GO DOWN…. WHETHER WHILE HE’S IN OFFICE, OR AFTER…. 
TOO MANY LOOSE ENDS ARE POPPING UP…
TRUTH WILL PREVAIL!

Full Audio: Sheriff Arpaio’s Lead Obama Investigator Drops Bombs On White House

 


HERE IS HOW THE KITS WORK:
This wave of Sheriff’s Kits is swamping the government in Washington. It’s significant because the “Kits” that are out there, sitting in all these offices, being worked on, investigated and examined… in each damn office of the Senate and Congress halls… put the ONUS ON THE OFFICIALS TO FINALLY DO THEIR JOB; which is to serve justice and the truth.
Government officials have a duty to follow the truth and the law; that’s often forgotten and considered a detail… mostly they don’t do that though, and they just act upon partisan lines of “helping their own.” Lawlessness and Injustice are the reasons they’re in office. It’s a pity. Now they’ll be forced to act as if they obeyed the law.
Government officials can be jailed on not acting.
Steve Stockman for example, has been alone it seems, in dealing with the matter of the birth issue. But this suddenly puts him out there up in front, with all eyes upon him from his colleagues, who are suddenly just as informed about the case as himself.
Unless Stockman acts now or unless it’s the others who act, they’ll be guilty of “COMPLICITY OF CRIMES”. Other crimes they come under the description of are several: omission, accessory, aiding and abetting, etc… so what we now have is that AT LEAST 200 PEOPLE have personally received Sheriff’s Kits inside the Senate and Congress buildings (in front of witnesses and who were filmed/photographed in each case) and they can all face STEEP CRIMINAL CHARGES unless they act upon the facts presented to them by the Sheriff’s Kits which contain the facts of a criminal investigation; the Joe Arpaio Cold Case Posse.
As I’ve said before, where there is smoke there is fire. Why has the President of United States used a total of THREE different Social Security numbers in his life?
Why did Team Obama turn in THREE different versions of his faked Birth Certificate to the Alabama Supreme Court during his Presidential run? Oops. 
If all these are fake GOP scandals, why all the lies?
Why all the cover-ups? Why all the obstruction?
Answer me that liberals? 
As much as everyone sees Obama as this mastermind who is diabolically scheming to bring down the United States, I don’t buy into that. As I’ve said before, I don’t think the guy is that bright. We have NOTHING from his academic records to prove his brilliance, because they’ve all been sealed using MILLIONS of dollars to keep the truth secret. Also has anyone seen this boob without a teleprompter? Being able to read a speech someone else wrote off a teleprompter does not signify genius. It signifies someone is a good reader.
One look at all Obama’s showings of complete ineptness should demonstrate the guy is not a rocket scientist.
Frankly, I’m not so sure he’s even as bright as the guy filling the rocket with fuel. There is no question Obama hates America, and wants to see it dismantled, and he’s doing a good job, however I credit the puppet masters with that much more than I credit the puppet. I’m not saying people can’t misspeak, as the video above demonstrates, but he hardly strikes me as genius. 
The issue of the fake social security number is FAR from the only one plaguing the legitimacy of this presidency:

BrasscheckTV: Uncle Sam's heroin business‏ 

Yes, the US government is a major
participant in the global heroin
trade that originates in Afghanistan.
 
This is not a conspiracy theory. 
 
You can see it with your own 
eyes.
 
Video:
 
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/25969.html
 
- Brasscheck

 US facilitating the Afghan opium/heroin industry
Afghanistan is the world’s #1 producer
 
                    Banks are in on this too
“An uncomfortable fluke....”

Uh, really?

We can send SWAT teams to break down people’s doors all over the country in search of cannabis...

We can somehow afford to jail hundreds of thousands of drug users (not dealers, users)...

But we can’t do anything about the fact that Afghanistan, where our military is currently based not only can’t do anything about drug production there, we’re also literally - not a conspiracy theory - literally using US troops to guard opium crops on behalf of “friends of the United States.”

How, by any stretch of the imagination can anyone who grows opium for heroin production be a “friend of the United States.”

It depends what you mean by the “United States” doesn’t it?

Afghanistan is not the first country that had a spike in the heroin trade by “an uncomfortable fluke....”

Try Vietnam when, by coincidence, the US was there.

And before that, way back in the 1920s our anti-communist allies in China.

And don’t forget the Skull and Bones founding families and the legendary US clipper ships.

Do you really think they made their money racing tea back from China to Boston and New Haven?

Clipper ships were opium haulers - and this trade, along with the slave trade - is at the root of many old and politically well connected US family fortunes that are still operative today (see the Bush family.)

The Truth Is Viral: “Obama Murdered My Son” – Father Of Slain SEAL Team 6 Sailor Speaks Out, Gets Spied On By NSA

By Bobby  Powell
For two and a half years, the families of the members of SEAL Team Six – The SEAL Team that killed Osama Bin Laden – have been searching for answers. They want to know why their sons were put aboard a decrepit CH-47 helicopter and flown into a hot LZ with no support whatsoever, they want to know why the government lied about the circumstances of the deaths of the SEALS, and they want to know who is responsible for the deaths of their sons.
In three weeks they may get a few answers when Congress opens an investigation into the facts surrounding the downing of Extortion 17 in Afghanistan’s Tangi Valley on August 6th 2011.

 Charles Strange, Father of Slain SEAL Michael Strange
In this exclusive TTiV interview, Charles Strange, father of Michael Strange, one of the 22 Navy SEALS aboard the ill-fated flight, tells viewers of the evidence he has obtained from government sources that lay open the lies surrounding his son’s death that have been told by the military, and how a Muslim Imam was brought in by the military to say a prayer over the bodies of the SEALS, even though none of them were Muslim; a “prayer” that was intended to damn the SEALS to Hell. If none of the SEALS were Muslim, why was a Muslim prayer spoken over their bodies, a prayer designed to insult the memory of these heroes if not to intentionally rub salt into a fresh wound?
Charles’ wife Mary also recounts how the government has bugged their home, their computers, and telephones. She says that they have been receiving strange text messages, and that cameras have been installed in their home; real-time photographs being sent to her computer screen as she worked.
That is absolutely terrifying. It was also the basis of a lawsuit that the Stranges, through their attorney Larry Klayman, recently won against the NSA. Mary Strange talks about that as well.

Once the conversation turned to the case against the NSA and classified information concerning Michael’s death, the servers at the Guerilla Media Network which hosts TTiVLIVE! came under a DDoS attack and the interview had to be terminated. For now.
The Truth Is Viral will continue to follow the Congressional inquiries about Extortion 17 as well as the Strange’s case against the NSA. It is the official editorial position of The Truth Is Viral that installing cameras in the homes of grieving families in order to intimidate them into being silent is beyond reprehensible and those responsible must be held to account.

BrasscheckTV: Who Are The Taliban? 



Who are the Taliban? 
 
And who pays their bills?
 
The surprising answer. 
 
Video:
 
http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/25951.html
 
- Brasscheck

 The Taliban? Who The Heck Are They?
Hint: They’re friends of the Saudis - and the CIA

Who are the Taliban? - Truthloader

 

                           Nuts for hire
It takes a lot of money to operate a nationwide group of deranged killers.

So where does the Taliban get their money from?

Two sources:

Criminal activities - and “foreign aid” from places like the US and Saudi Arabia.

Foreign aid given to Afghanistan that ends up in Taliban coffers amounts to 20% of the Taliban’s budget.

So less-than-directly, but effectively the US and its uber sleazy friends in Saudui Arabia are paying for the bullets and bombs that are blowing up US servicemen and women.

And when US troops are not chasing Taliban around the rocks, they’re tasked with guarding “warlord” opium fields in order to make friends and influence people there.

The Saudis are big funders of all things loony in Islam and of course Uncle Sam’s CIA and its friends in Pakistan were the first to put guns and guerrilla combat training into the Taliban’s hands pre 9/11.

Townhall: Defend the Fourth: Sen. Paul (R-KY) Slaps Team Obama With Lawsuit Over NSA Program

Daniel Doherty


Does the Fourth Amendment mean anything anymore? That is essentially the question Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) posed in a promotional video on Tuesday -- the day before he formally filed, along with the organization FreedomWorks, a class action lawsuit against President Obama and top officials at the National Security Agency (NSA). He cited the U.S. government’s ongoing collection of Americans’ phone records as the “modern equivalent” of British lawlessness and overreach during the Revolutionary War era. Back then, he argued, representatives from His Majesty’s Government would routinely and illegally search the homes and property of British subjects without their consent. How is what the NSA is doing today, he argued, any less tyrannical?
“The Constitution is not a negotiable piece of parchment to be ignored or abused at the president’s whim,” he said. “Washington leaders are expected to obey and protect what they took an oath to uphold. And if this means taking them to court over it -- so be it.”

***Important*** Rufe's Weather Outlook Update


Weather Update

 Alas, not pitch perfect, the storm to track closer to shore resulting in a nasty scenario. 

 Snow will overspread southernmost Maine mid morning Thursday, press north rapidly and become heavy very quickly. At rates in excess of 1”/hr the heaviest snow will fall around dusk. Thereafter the risk is now very real of mixtures within 30 miles of the coast between 7PM SW, 10PM east, reverting back to snow 4AM west, 7AM east. Up to ½” sleet and up to ¼” ice is likely 10-30 miles inland. Closer to the ocean the overnight blend will consist more of rain and sleet with less than a ¼” gritty mix, if that.  Snow will end by midday Friday.

 Amounts will be highly variable. 8”-14” will be the totals, front and back. Please refer to the morning graphic.
 The signature for an inversion is strong. However within 5 miles of the coast expect gusts to 40 mph from the north between 8PM SW to 4AM east. Within 20 miles of the coast north/northeast gusts of 30-40 mph during this period. 
 
(Note: 6am Map)
 
 
Weather Update
2/12/14   11AM
 Quite a robust and wet storm to impact Maine in 26-50 hours.
 Snow will overspread southernmost Maine around 11AM Thursday, pressing north rapidly and become heavy very quickly. At rates in excess of 1”/hr, heaviest snow will fall through dusk. Thereafter snow will yield to sleet 7PM SW, 10PM east, as far north as Fryeburg to Bangor. Up to ½” sleet and up to ¼” ice is likely 10-30 miles inland.
 
 Closer to the ocean rain and sleet will evolve with up to 1/4” gritty mix. Rainfall of one-half to one inch is expected, most across Penobscot Bay. The heaviest precipitation will occur between 7PM and midnight. Marked loading of coniferous tree limbs is expected, especially 10-30 miles inland. Lighter snow will resume 4AM southwest to 7AM in Rockland, ending 11AM southwest, 1PM mountains and Penobscot Bay Friday.

 Amounts will be highly variable. 8”-18” will be combined totals, front and back. The heaviest will stretch from Fryeburg to Orono. Please refer to the updated graphic. Temperatures for most will rise above freezing for several hours Friday, assisting in shedding of the saturated snow.
 
 Within 5 miles of the coast expect north gusts to 40 mph between 6PM to midnight. Within 20 miles of the coast north/northeast gusts of 30-39 mph are likely during this period.
 
(Note: 11 am Map)
 
 
You are going to get blasted so take great precautions and be safe.

So If Business Is So Good Why This? Breitbart:Tsunami of Store Closings to Sweep U.S. Retailers


by Warner Todd Huston

Several U.S. retailers have announced that in 2014 they will be closing stores all across the country, showing that retailers expect continued contraction in the economy instead of growth for the foreseeable future.


CNBC recently reported that such retailers as Sears, JC Penney, and Macy's are all announcing a wave of store closings. Other retailers, like Sam's and Target, are laying off thousands.
Another report tallied some of these shutterings. "JCPenney, Macy's, and Sears have all recently announced fresh rounds of closures and layoffs. JCPenney is closing 33 stores, Macy's is closing five, and Sears is closing its flagship in Chicago--the latest of about 300 closures Sears has made since 2010," Business Insider wrote at the end of January.
Experts also predict that this is just the beginning and expect many other retailers to announce job cuts, store closings, cuts in the square footage of current stores, or all three.
There are several reasons being offered to explain this contraction. One is that retailers have created "unsustainable inventories," i.e. too much product on shelves and in warehouses.
Another is the loss of foot traffic at large malls. A report at Business Insider noted that shopping malls are "going extinct," and as these large retailers continue to shutter stores in malls and look for stores with smaller square footage, this will hasten the decline of the shopping mall.
Then there is the increase in Internet shopping that has been impacting the brick-and-mortar retail sector, as buyers increasingly shop from the comfort of their own homes and take delivery by mail.
Another factor may be that the middle class has been hit particularly hard by all this economic distress. One report from 2012 estimated that the middle class had lost 40 percent of their worth, leaving less disposable income for impulse shopping at brick-and-mortar stores.
Whatever the causes, many retailers are contracting, not expanding, and this is an indication that this down economy is not expected to get better any time soon.
