WND EXCLUSIVE Ex-border agents: Immigrant flood 'orchestrated'

'We are not gullible enough to believe thousands came without aid and assistance'





An organization of former Border Patrol agents Wednesday charged that the federal government, under the administration of President Obama, is deliberately arranging for a flood of immigrant children to arrive in America for political purposes.
“This is not a humanitarian crisis. It is a predictable, orchestrated and contrived assault on the compassionate side of Americans by her political leaders that knowingly puts minor illegal alien children at risk for purely political purposes,” said the statement released by officials with the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers.
“Certainly, we are not gullible enough to believe that thousands of unaccompanied minor Central American children came to American without the encouragement, aid and assistance of the United States government.
“Anyone that has taken two six to seven year old children to an amusement park can only imagine the problems associated with bringing thousands of unaccompanied children that age up through Mexico and into the United States.”
There have been hundreds, even thousands, of illegal aliens, including many children, reported along the nation’s southwestern border with Mexico recently.
According to a report this week from Fox, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer calls the situation a “creation” of the federal government, and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Alabama, assigned blame for the “calamity” to Obama.
Fox reported it had obtained a memo from an official with Customs and Border Protection who said the current policies are serving as an incentive for illegal aliens to sneak into the U.S.
“If the U.S. government fails to deliver adequate consequences to deter aliens from attempting to illegally enter the U.S., the result will be an even greater increase in the rate of recidivism and first-time illicit entries,” said Ronald Vitiello, a deputy Border Patrol chief.
Officials say among Obama’s policies that are attracting illegals is his instructions for “deferred action” for young illegals. Recently, the federal government said it was hunting for lawyers to provide legal help to children who are in the U.S. illegally.
The White House is asking for $1.4 billion more for the illegal alien children, which by some estimates will grow to 150,000 next year.
The former Border Patrol agents said the campaign is a “political deception” and the responsibility rests with the political leaders who support “a path to citizenship, regularization or any other form of amnesty for illegal aliens before providing for full protections for national security (jobs and economy) and public safety (the right of the people to be secure in their property and person).”
The officers argue that the non-enforcement of immigration laws is “the next step in becoming a failed state.”
“Yes, our leaders are guilty. However, we are responsible because it is the American voter [who] has placed untrustworthy people in positions of power and kept them there when they have clearly demonstrated that they have violated that public trust.
“These successful con artists are well dressed, attractive and charming,” the statement said.
The officers even questioned whether “this heartless criminal exploitation of Central American infants and children [will] finally awaken Americans to the ruse being foisted upon them by their government, the media and other interested parties.”
“Has America lost her ability to stand up against the tyrants and do what is right rather than what is easy? Obviously, this administration thinks you are as corrupt as they are and will vote them back into office or these young children would not be streaming into America to tug at your hearts and empty your heads of reason,” the statement said.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest this week said the Federal Emergency Management Agency is leading an effort to respond to the number of illegal alien children arriving in the U.S. He said many of those are “escaping abuse or persecution.”
He said those are being sent to locations in Texas and Oklahoma.
It’s become a worldwide issue, with the Daily Mail in the United Kingdom reporting the GOP is blaming Obama’s immigration policies, which “entice” illegals.
More than 33,000 have been caught in Texas alone over the last eight months,the report said, overwhelming Border Patrol capabilities.
The report cited Obama’s “controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,” which was launched in 2012 and recently renewed.
A federal judge even concluded the White House “has simply chosen not to enforce … border security laws.”

Arkansas under the Clintons:

The Arkansas drug money laundering factory
Bill and Hillary ran it





Hillary's law firm did the paperwork


Some easy to forget facts:
1. Under former CIA Director President George Herbert Walker Bush, the US government imported tons of cocaine into the US which it received as payment for guns to the Contras. (Of course, a lot of blow was not part of the deal, it was just dope dealing from dope dealings sake.)

2. Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas at the time where much of this massive operation took place.

3. Under Clinton's direct watch the system to launder all the money coming in was set up and he had total personal control over it as governor.

4. His wife, soon to be candidate for president, worked at the law firm which handled all the paperwork.

If Hillary gets the White House, she will be the fifth president in a row who had an active involvement in the cocaine business as a consumer and/or operator.

MHPC: Taking to the airwaves and real reforms‏



Rally for real welfare reform...
Progressives gathered in Augusta last week to hold a press conference at the State House to present their plan to "address" Maine's welfare and DHHS problems... and we were there to counter their punch.

Seriously People, How Much More DO WE have to Take While The Progress of Our Children Wither Dealing With Defunct Facilities?

HOW MUCH MORE DO WE HAVE TO TAKE??? 


 David T. Brooks, Lisbon's Chief of Police



During the Town Council workshop of April 8, 2014, I remember Chief Brooks saying that the town had received a Homeland Security Grant of $1,600.00 for mobile radios. Because Chief Brooks has not always been truthful in his statements, I submitted a request for a copy of the grant award letter. Below is the response from the town:





 Lisbon Police Chief David T. Brooks

The minutes of the workshop published by the town support that Chief Brooks did make this statement. Below is a portion of the April 8, 2014 minutes pertaining to this grant! 


April 8, 2014 Town Council Minutes: 

“Chief Brooks explained this is not a full-fledged tower; it will be more like an antenna on a building. He said if we knew there was a grant available we would apply. The problem with Homeland Security grants is that they are getting smaller and smaller, for instance our grant this year was for $1,600 for mobile radios, which will have to be addressed at some time. If we come up with a grant, that’s what we will do, but this is a capital need. Mrs. Maloy said this was in last year’s capital budget. Forfeiture money can be used to supplement the budget so we could debate about whether to use it or not.”… 


This is not the first time Chief Brooks claimed to have a grant and did not. Remember the $97,000.00 for furniture for the Communication Center?  Come to find out there was no grant for the furniture and the taxpayers ended up paying with tax dollars for the new furniture for the Communication Center. 


I do not understand why the Town Manager and the Town Council continue to allow Chief Brooks to be misquoted; make a mistake or manipulate them into getting what he wants. I would think that this type of behavior would be unacceptable and grounds for firing.





Judge Judy says that you can always tell when a teenager is lying because their lips are moving. Do you know what Chief Brooks and teenagers have in common?

FORFEITURE FUNDS UPDATE!!!!

FORFEITURE FUNDS UPDATE!!!!

I submitted a Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) requesting an update on just what Chief Brooks has been spending his Federal forfeiture funds on instead of his Capital Improvement Plan.  It was amazing because the FOAA requested all Purchase Orders from January 21, 2014 to present and I only received Purchase Orders through April 14, 2014.  Apparently, Chief Brooks has not purchased any items using forfeiture funds since April 14, 2014.

                    REMAINING FORFEITURE FUNDS:    $38,401.78

                   
If you remember correctly, Chief Brooks received $71,750.78 from the Federal government and another $983.00 from the state in forfeiture funds.  This is a total of $72,733.78 of forfeiture funds available to be spent STRICTLY within the Lisbon Police Department.  The attached document is a listing of all the purchases made by Chief Brooks, without the approval of the Town Council, so far.   As you can see, Chief Brooks still has enough remaining funds to replace the police cruisers he is asking for this year, without having the taxpayers pay anything for them.  


You see, the Town council is still considering replacing three vehicles this year in the Municipal Budget.  To me, this is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of.  Chief Brooks had the funds to replace the cruisers he told us last October he was going to do and now he wants US to pay for these vehicles.  Also, one of the vehicles he wants to replace had a brand new motor put in it less than a year ago but he wants the taxpayers to replace it, WHY?

If you look at this list of “toys for the boys”, you will see an item costing over $4,999.00 which is required by the Town Purchasing Policy to go out for formal bid.  Also, none of these items ever came before the Town Council.


So please tell me, how is the town council supposed to know what Chief Brooks really needs and what funds are going to pay for them?  For the Town Council to even consider purchasing any vehicles for the Police Department is totally ludicrous and an injustice to the citizens of Lisbon.  Chief Brooks made his decision and he alone should have to live with it.  To saddle the taxpayers of this town with additional spending, is outrageous of the Town Council.

Someone needs to put a stop to Chief Brooks' spending funds as he sees fit, without going through the Town Council,  this is a violation of our Town Charter
.  I am not saying Chief Brooks cannot spend the forfeiture funds but he should make the council aware of what the forfeiture funds are being spent on in order to make a decision on the Police Department budget.

The taxpayers do not deserve to continually be screwed by a Police Chief who is out of control with his spending.

Lisbon Class of 2021 Leave Legacy‏

LISBON CLASS OF 2021 LEAVE A LEGACY


Lisbon – The Lisbon Community School fifth grades were pleased to present Principal Carlene Iverson with a flowering crab tree as their legacy gift to the school.  Members of the future Class of 2021 at Lisbon High School were assisted with the presentation thanks to the generosity of Ed Bush of Maine Landscape/Bush’s Bushes, 159 Ridge Road in Lisbon Falls.  Bush planted the tree during the presentation at the school with assistance from Lisbon Alumni Class of 2010, Joe Doughty.  “We are delighted with the new Lisbon partnership of Bush’s Bushes,” comments Iverson.  “Students, staff and community members will enjoy this tree, and other trees and shrubs, for generations thanks to the gracious donations as a legacy gifts on behalf of our students.  Mr. Bush has also extended his services beyond the planting to include perpetual care of existing shrubs on the school campus.  Lisbon is truly a caring community.”  FYI on more events and programs in Lisbon visit us on FaceBook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools.

The Moxie Man: WMTW: Hometown Maine: Lisbon











Now the Moxie Festival has a certain local mystique about itself just like the drink. You see, back along many years ago Frank Anicetti, "The Moxie Man", was inspired by the idea of having  a little gathering of sorts to promote this very distinctive flavored beverage that was originally concocted for use as a medicinal elixir.  A group of local dedicated volunteers agreed with the idea and just until a few years ago, the festival was put on by Frank and his loyal volunteers.  

Right smack on the corner of Routes 196 & 125 you will find a store named Kennebec Fruit Company, the home of the "Official" Moxie Museum.  Inside you will find the dedication to the drink through Frank's efforts with all things Moxie.  SO be certain to stop in say Hi, give it a try, and if it is still available you just have to have some Moxie Ice Cream, it is in limited supply but Oh, So Wicked Good on any day.  Have Fun and Good Luck Frank, family, and friends.

Conundrum




The definition of the word Conundrum is:  something that is puzzling or confusing. 


Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:



1. America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.



2. Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.



3. They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.



4. Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.



5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.



6. They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.



Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.  Makes you wonder who is doing the math.



These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:



 

1. We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works.



And here's another one worth considering...



2. Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't. Think about it.....



and Last but not least,



3. Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.


Am I the only one missing something?

Disrespectful‏

DISRESPECTFUL



               




 











At last night’s Town Council meeting, I had the misfortune to witness one of the most disgraceful acts by Miriam Morgan-Alexander during the Pledge of Allegiance.  Miriam Morgan-Alexander was wearing a “Howdy Doody” hat and rendered a phony hand salute during the Pledge of Allegiance.

I have sat through a year of Morgan-Alexander wearing a non-military beret with pins on it and rendering a hand salute during our Pledge of Allegiance without saying a word.  After serving this great nation for forty years both in the Army and then as a Department of Defense civilian, I am proud of this nation and our flag which signifies our freedom.  I am proud to be a veteran who has defended this flag for the best part of my life.

I can honestly say that I personally believe that Miriam Morgan-Alexander is a phony, a wannabe who gives a bad name to true vets who have protected this great nation and those who made the ultimate sacrifice. 

This total lack of respect for our nation colors leaves a terrible taste in my mouth. 

You do not render a military hand salute while wearing a “HOWDY DOODY” hat.  Miriam Morgan-Alexander, please no more attempts at rendering a hand salute while wearing non-military headgear.
