PHOENIX (AP) – The federal government issued a scathing report Thursday that outlines how Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s office has committed a wide range of civil rights violations against Latinos, including a pattern of racial profiling and discrimination and carrying out heavy-handed immigration patrols based on racially charged citizen complaints.
The report, obtained by The Associated Press ahead of its release, is a result of the U.S. Justice Department’s three-year investigation of Arpaio’s office amid complaints of racial profiling and a culture of bias at the agency’s top level.
The Justice Department’s conclusions in the civil probe mark the federal government’s harshest rebuke of a national political fixture who has risen to prominence for his immigration crackdowns and became coveted endorsement among candidates in the GOP presidential field.
Apart from the civil rights probe, a federal grand jury also has been investigating Arpaio’s office on criminal abuse-of-power allegations since at least December 2009 and is specifically examining the investigative work of the sheriff’s anti-public corruption squad.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a man that I have great respect for. He is a man of integrity and he is doing the job that the slugs in the Federal government won’t do. He is enforcing the LAW!
If I were in a position to go back to work I believe I would be moving to Maricopa County so I could work with Sheriff Joe, I think our styles would compliment each other well.
Athens, Texas – We are just a couple of weeks from Christmas, for many, Christmas is the season for celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, for others it is just another day on the calendar and for our children, it is the day which old St. Nick slides down the chimney and delivers gifts for all of the children. Also, it is time for families to gather and just be together, swapping stories, and loving each others company, eating, and watching the Dallas Cowboys and giving thanks to our Lord and Savior for what he did for us.
However, there are a scant few who live for nothing more than attempting to destroy anything that relates to Christmas or Christ, in other words the atheist of the world. It does not matter to them who THEY MIGHT OFFEND or the children they may confuse with their beliefs; they just want to draw attention to themselves; my blogging friend has told me not to write a word about them at all, as all it does is give them credibility. Well I was going to do that, but I have to speak out on this ENEMY OF GOD.
What is the issue, you ask. The issue is the City of Athens, Henderson County has a Nativity Scene that has been set up across the street from the Court House. The nativity scene has been a staple of Athens for years and has been enjoyed by many. During which time, there has not been an issue until now. A complaint was lodged against the Nativity Scene. The complaint was not from anyone in Texas, but by a Atheist group that calls themselves the “freedom from religion foundation”, from the State of Wisconsin, yeppers, from Wisconsin. ffrf indicated they received an anonymous letter from a ffrf member in Athens who complained. So they intervened.
Well to Mr. or Mrs or Ms, apparently your beliefs are weak and you are gutless, because you do not have the INTESTINAL FORTITUDE to come forward and identify yourself. If the Nativity offends you that much, come forward and identify yourself. I would respect you if you publically took a stand for what you believe in, but you are hiding behind the skirts of an atheist organization, for that you get no respect from me. It does not make one bit of sense to me, however I am a Christian, and I believe in ALL that the freedom from religion foundation is against and stands for.
As you have read the ffrf and people with like beliefs, do not believe in a “GOD”, or a creator; so they want to shove their beliefs down the throats of all Christian’s and force Henderson County to remove the Nativity scene from across the street of the Henderson County Courthouse. Well I would be a little harsher in my response to the ffrf, but I will keep those remarks to myself.
As I said, I believe in God, I believe that we were created in the image of God, just as the bible said in Genius 1:26, period. Now IF, we were not created by a supreme being as alleged by the some atheists, then how in the hell were we created? Some contend we were once monkeys, or some type of primate. (I know that ain’t true, because I hate bannas) I will counter with the way it is, we were created by GOD, and nobody will convince me otherwise.
The difference is I do not go around suing atheist because they are infringing on my rights to believe as I do; and by filing the lawsuit against Henderson County, the ffrf is offending me. By suing Athens to have them remove the Nativity scene, ffrf is infringing on the citizens right to have the Nativity scene. This issue is simple to solve; those who did not want to see the Nativity Scene, take another route, don’t look at it, better yet, move to Afghanistan, you will fit in perfectly.
What is interesting is, the freedom from religion foundation is suing Henderson County because of the Nativity scene, because they believe the separation of church and state has been violated.
One logical question that one might ask someone; not necessarily the ffrf, but someone with those same beliefs is the following. “If you are who you say you are, a non-believer in God, and anything dealing with God offends you, then why do you do business with or for that matter accept the currency that is issued by the United States of America? Do you get where I am going with this?
The modern motto of the United States of America, as established in a 1956 law signed by President Dwight D Eisenhower is In God We Trust. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is the motto for currency (but not as a National motto) first appeared on United States coins in 1864. “In God We Trust”, however I would gather would be a statement contrary to the belief’s of all atheist’s.
You know, while you and I and the rest of what is left of America have toothpick soup, members of Congress dine and just plain get fat. I am talking about SALARIES. You know the real truth about MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. They wanted to get elected for one reason, to make money, so they could get Money FAT. . At one time I had the utmost respect for our elected lawmakers. Not anymore, I compare most of them, not all of them, but most to a nice fresh warm cow pie, freshly deposited in my pasture, at least I get some decent return from the cow pie, it fertilizes my pasture. Members of congress, ain't worth zip, in my opinion, they are just fertilizing us with lies. What a shame, to what it once was.
(Huffington Post) Despite the economic recession and declining household wealth, the net wealth of members of Congress continues to rise, according to aRoll Call analysis of financial disclosure forms.
Members of the House and Senate have a collective net worth of $2.04 billion, up from $1.65 billion in 2008. The vast majority of the increase goes to the wealthiest members of Congress, who also account for most of Congress' net worth.
Members' net wealth may be much higher, however, since Roll Call only used the minimum valuation of assets in the range required by disclosure forms, and disclosure forms do not include non-income-producing assets, such as a personal residence.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) reported that his assets were worth at least $295 million. Much of his wealth comes from the money he earned in the car alarm business. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) wealth alsoincreased from 2009 to 2010, from $21.7 million to $35.2 million. Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio), Senate Majority Leader (D-Nev.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) all had multimillion-dollar net worths in 2010.
Federal Reserve data released in March showed Americans' household net worth declined 23 percent between 2007 and 2009 from $125,000 to $96,000, due to declining home equity (not included in congressional disclosure forms) and investments. Families also took on slightly more debt. Families in the top 10 percent of net worth saw smaller declines of 13 percent on average.
While you and I and the rest of Americans, struggle, the FAT CATS IN Washington, get fatter and fatter; do you think they give a crap about you and I, hell no they do not. I thought I would attempt to personally ask Plastic Women a question, so I dialed up her home office, (Nancy Pelosi, 202-225-4965235 Cannon H.O.B.Washington D.C.) Some lady answered the phone, I asked to speak to with her Royal Highness, apparently, I was told that was not the correct way to address the Minority Leader. Anyway all I got was the old Potomac Two Step, I figured as much. So that tells you, these people who we send to Washington, forget how to be people themselves when they get to Washington. All they see is "How can they make Money". The More C Notes the better.
Thats about the size of it friends, we struggle to survive, they get fat in the wallet, why not, they make the laws that exempt them from laws that put us in jail. They have forgotten about the everyday person in America, the farmers, the police officer, the grocer, the truck driver, the people that make America what it has been, the politicians have forgotten about the everyday person. Remember the days not so far back, when you could walk into the office of your representative, and ask for him/her by name.
Those days are lost and gone forever. I am afraid that the best days of America are behind us as well. We have a President that has inflated our national debt to historic amounts. A President who rejects Israel, because of his Muslim beliefs. An American President, who at the very minute is depleting the American Military to sizes (troop reductions of over 200,00) unheard of in Modern times, in the face of the Chinese Military buildup to sizes of historic proportions.
If you do not believe me just do your homework, just google it.
That's about the size of it friends, now it is up to us how to figure out how to get the right person in Washington, that has the cajones to make things right. Good Luck....You have seen how transparent Obama has been.......
Until next time my friends.....God Bless and Walk Slow and Drink Lots of Water..
When laws are written and passed into law, I have always been under the impression that it is the “LAW OF THE LAND”. Laws for the governing of all people, including the people who right and pass the law, (CONGRESS) To my astonishment, apparently the congress is exempt from the laws that govern insider trading. I do not understand why this should astonish me, it has become the SOP for the people that we elect to represent us, when in fact, 99.9999 percent of these people are in it for the high salaries and benefits which they receive that which are not available to the American Public
A 2004 study of the results of stock trading by United States Senators during the 1990s found that that senators on average beat the market by 12% a year. In sharp contrast, U.S. households on average underperformed the market by 1.4% a year and even corporate insiders on average beat the market by only about 6% a year during that period. A reasonable inference is that some Senators had access to – and were using – material nonpublic information about the companies in whose stock they trade.”
With what I learned about the Congress floors me. They write some laws that they are exempt from, the very same laws that would toss you and i into prison for many years, as Martha Stewart. Better yet, Ask the former Speaker the House Nancy Pelosi. She has been breaking those laws that puts the average person in prison, yet her, and her husband gets filthy rich. I do mean filthy rich, as it is DIRTY MONEY, because a only people like her benefit from it, while you and I go to jail. Now that is a real pisser if you ask me.
Definition of insider trading: The illegal practice of trading on the stock exchange to one’s own advantage through having access to confidential information.
Is insider trading wrong? Most Americans would say that it is. In fact, some very wealthy and very prominent Americans (including Martha Stewart) have gone to prison for it. It just is not right for those with inside information that is not generally available to the public to make huge profits in the stock market by making key trades based on that information. But there is one group, members of the U.S. Congress, that can do all the insider trading they want and get away with it. That is because insider trading is perfectly legal for members of Congress. Yes, you read that correctly. So how would that work? Well, for example, a member of Congress may know that a law that is about to be proposed would have a very positive effect on a particular company and could buy up a ton of stock in that company a few days before that law is introduced. Isn’t that wrong? Of course. Is there any law against it? Not at all.Read Complete Story
Ladies and Gentlemen, when do we as American standup and say enough of the raping and pillaging of America, when is enough already. This behavior is just out right thievery. It was made legal by the the thieves themselves….OUR VERY OWN CONGRESS. Laws passed that would throw you and I into jail for violating the insider trading act, members of Congress are exempt. I guess they are exempt from State Laws as well. Who knows. I know that I busted my hump trying to make a suitable living for my family and lived by the laws of the land. To find out that that members if Congress are exempt from some of these laws is just plain wrong.
In early 2008, Nancy Pelosi and her real estate developer husband, Paul, were given an opportunity to buy into a Visa IPO. It was a nearly impossible feat–one that average citizens almost certainly could never achieve. The vast majority of purchase opportunities went to institutional investors, large mutual funds, or pension funds.
Despite Pelosi’s consistent railing against credit card companies, on March 18, 2008, the Pelosis bought between $1 million and $5 million (politicians do not have to report the exact amounts, only ranges) worth of Visa stock at the IPO price of $44 per share. Two days later, the stock price rocketed to $65 per share, yielding a 50% profit. The Pelosis then bought Visa twice more. By their third purchase on June 4, 2008, Visa was worth $85 per share.
How did Nancy Pelosi snag one of the most coveted initial public offerings in history? The facts are still emerging.
Yet according to Schweizer, corporations that wish to build congressional allies will sometimes hand-pick members of Congress to receive IPOs. Pelosi received her Visa IPO almost two weeks after a potentially damaging piece of legislation for Visa, the Credit Card Fair Fee Act, had been introduced in the House. If passed, the bill would have cut into Visa’s profits substantially by lowering so-called “interchange fees,” the 1% to 3% charge retailers pay Visa when customers use Visa cards for purchases. Interchange fees are a critical source of revenue for the four credit card companies–$48 billion in 2008, to be exact.
If the Credit Card Fair Fee Act had been passed into effect, it would have amended antitrust laws to require credit card companies to enter negotiations with merchants over interchange fees, and it would have given the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission the power to arbitrate if the two sides failed to come to an agreement. For that reason, Visa and the other credit card companies strongly opposed the bill.
The Credit Card Fair Fee Act was exactly the kind of bill one would think then-Speaker Pelosi would have backed. “She had been outspoken about antitrust problems posed by insurance, oil, and pharmaceutical companies,” Schweizer notes, “and she was vocal about the need for controlling interest rates individual banks charged to use their credit cards.”
Initially, the Credit Card Fair Fee Act cleared the Judiciary Committee on a 19-16 vote, and the National Association of Convenience Stores began lobbying for a vote on the floor of the House. “It is imperative to tell your Representatives to request a vote on the House Floor from Nancy Pelosi,” the association urged its members. Still, with at least ten percent of the Pelosi family’s entire stock portfolio invested in a single stock, Nancy Pelosi clearly had a vested interest in ensuring that Visa’s profits were protected. And that is exactly what she accomplished. Despite broad public support for the bill—77% in one study—Pelosi saw to it that the bill never made it to the House floor.
Shortly thereafter, a second bill limiting collusion by the credit card companies on interchange fees was proposed. The Credit Card Interchange Fee Act of 2008, while not as strong as the first bill, would have required greater transparency from credit card companies in informing customers how much they were paying in interchange fees. Yet again, reports Schweizer, “this second bill suffered the same fate as the first, never making it to the House floor.”
“By 2009, both bills had garnered even broader bipartisan support and were reintroduced. Under Speaker Pelosi, however, neither bill lived to see a vote on the House floor.”
Pelosi eventually supported something called the Credit Card Reform Act. Curiously, the all-important interchange fees went untouched by that legislation. Instead, the bill stated that the interchange fee issue should simply be “studied.” The bill’s other measures would not affect Visa but rather its client banks. In short, the Credit Card Reform Act ensured that Visa and the other credit card companies dodged a potentially costly bullet.
None of that, however, prevented Pelosi from grandstanding. She publicly declared that the Credit Card Reform Act sent a “strong and clear message to credit card companies” that they would be held to account for their “anti-consumer practices.”
In the wake of the bill’s passage, the Pelosis’ shares of Visa stock rose. Indeed, according to Throw Them All Out, “the IPO shares they had purchased soared by 203% from where they began, while the stock market as a whole was down 15% during the same period.”
Nancy Pelosi is hardly the only member of Congress to be given IPOs, but Pelosi has been especially “lucky” at landing them. She and her husband have participated in at least 10 lucrative IPOs throughout her career. In 1993, Pelosi purchased IPO shares in a high-tech company named Gupta, watched the stock price leap 88% in 24 hours, then seized the profits by selling the stock the next day. The Pelosis did the same thing with Netscape and UUNet, resulting in a one-day doubling of their initial investment. Other fast and lucrative IPO flips included Remedy Corporation, Opal, Legato Systems, and Act Networks.
Schweizer says Nancy Pelosi’s financial disclosure forms typically mask the precise dates of her stock buys. He cites the Pelosis’ December 1999 stock purchase of between $250,000 and $500,000 in shares from high-tech company OnDisplay. A few months later, OnDisplay was bought by Vignette, which resulted in up to $1 million in capital gains for the Pelosis. What was unusual about the transaction is that Vignette’s IPO was underwritten by a major campaign contributor and longtime friend of Nancy Pelosi, William Hambrecht.
Throw Them All Out also chronicles the Pelosis’ $100,000 IPO purchase of Clean Energy Fuels at roughly $12 a share. Schweizer alleges that as Speaker of the House, Pelosi pushed several bills beneficial to the company.
Similarly, in November 2007, Pelosi bought $500,000 in the IPO for Quest Energy Partners before proceeding to champion the natural gas-related legislation that stood to significantly benefit the company. When Tom Brokaw asked her whether her significant personal investments in natural gas represented a conflict of interest, Pelosi shrugged off the question by hiding behind the crony capitalist’s false credo: “That’s the marketplace.”
Her answer “That the Market Place” let me say this to Nancy Pelosi, straight out so there will be no misunderstandings; “You put YOUR PANTIES on just like every other hard working female in this country, “ONE LEG AT A TIME.” The exception here is, you have used your PRIVILEGED and EXEMPTED STATUS to abuse a law which puts every other American in jail, you use this EXEMPTION to benefit you and your family. There have been in the criminal world, the likes of Al Capones, Bugs Maran, and the John Gotti’s of the world, and you Madam, are no better than any of them, the exception is you and your congressional crooks, write and pass laws which gives you an exemption from prosecution.
You may be exempt from legal prosecution; however you are not exempt from public opinion. I just hope and pray that the opinions of you and your cronies sink to the bottom of the sea, along with all of the whale and fish droppings, as you and your cronies are now and have been unworthy of the American people’s trust which was bestowed upon you upon your election to the hallowed halls of Congress.
I end this post by saying the following; “it is a sad day, to know that most our elected Congressional leadership, do not have an moral or ethical bone in their body. This was proven by the very law they penned, concerning insider trading. I am sad and embarrassed that we have members in Congress that used the the laws to their benefit, for personal gain, knowing it may not be illegal but certainly unethical to the highest degree.”
You knew it when the law was passed, now the American people know it, I hope that your ejection from Congress will be as swift as it possibly can be. If it were left to me, you would be impeached. You are an embarrassment to our Founding Fathers and for what they stood for and valued, and without question you are and will be in my opinion a stain on the very fabric of our country for your actions and inaction’s. For this will not be forgotten.
I taught my son, right from wrong, and to work hard and do not expect anything extra in return for your services, other than what is due you for your services; do what is asked of you and do not ask for anything in return, you will sleep better at nights knowing that you do not owe anyone a thing.
Until the next time…God Bless Our Country..and as always, Walk Slow and Drink lots of water.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s Death Considered Collateral Damage!
Posted on25 October 2011
Very few times that I can remember has the Mainstream media gotten it right, well not only did the get it right, they hit this story completely out of the ball park. A well done goes out to CBS for their coverage of this story.
If anyone has any lingering thoughts that about the Obama administration, this article, should eliminate any questions you might have had that the Obama Administration is only corrupt, but that they are the most evil administration in the history of this once once proud Nation. Not until this administration is removed from the White House will "We the People have an opportunity to recover our Nations INTEGRITY.
At first I first thought I had misread the News article, I had not. The death of any Police Officer be it a Federal Agent, as Brian Terry who was a United States Border Patrol Agent. To classify any Federal, State, County, or local officer as "COLLATERAL DAMAGE", is OBSCENE and total disregard of Agent Terry’s death, and disrespectful to Agents Terry’s family. So here is the headline and the article in it’s entirety from CBS News . Draw your own conclusions.
WASHINGTON – In secretly recorded conversations between two individuals deeply entwined in the ATF’s controversial “Fast and Furious” operation, the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is described as “collateral damage.”
The recordings were obtained exclusively by CBS News. The man who made them – Arizona gun dealer Andre Howard – ran the Lone Wolf Trading Company and was speaking with Hope MacAllister, the ATF operation’s case agent.
Two of the guns Howard sold while cooperating with the ATF that were later found at Terry’s murder.“It happened. It’s terrible,” Howard said. “That’s life ok we move on.”
Both Howard and MacAllister also shared concerns about Special Agent John Dodson who by that point had gone public with allegations about “Fast and Furious” and was assigned to the FBI. It was Dodson who first publicly disclosed allegations about “Fast and Furious” in an interview with CBS News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. That interview took place several weeks before the recorded conversations took place. In his interview, Dodson said thousands of guns had been allowed to “walk” to Mexico – straight into the hands of the cartels – without intervention by ATF.
(Scroll down to listen to the audio and read the text of the excerpts)
In the following excerpts, they talk about the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. Two weapons purchased by ATF Fast and Furious suspects were found at the murder scene. They also discuss concerns that ATF whistleblower John Dodson, who had then been moved out of the ATF office and tasked to the FBI, has information that could be damaging to the government.
United States Backed “WAR ON DRUGS” DRIVES UP DRUG PRICES”, ENCOURAGES TERRORISM (former foreign minister under Vincente Fox urges legalization) Says Former Foreign Minister!
Mexico begins playing the blame game with the United States, if this yo-yo keeps playing that game, I bet the cartels just might want to have a conference, what would you bet? In my opinion, Mexico's former Foreign Minister, is a bigger idiot than I first thought.
The above statement and video is laying the blame of Mexico’s problems at the doorstep of the United States fellow bloggers. Just legalize the drugs and all will be well, it will solve the problems of unemployment, and anything else that they can think of. Do you think for one minute that these drug cartels will allow passage of such a law in Mexico, you have to be kidding. They will butcher a few of Mexico’s senators and roll there heads down to the podium, I just wonder how they will vote then.
They are going to try and solve the problem over night, how stupid can you get, To many decision makers are on the take as it is, do you think that any of them will give up their wad of cash for the legalization of drugs, not on your life. They are too damn greedy. The cartel, like the Middle Eastern terrorist, use "FEAR" to get what they want: FEAR is the EQUALIZER, whatever the Cartel, wants, they get, they use the fear of "DEATH". Stop and think about it. If you were told by the cartel, to do something normally you would not, and fear was introduced into the equation
However, it is like the politicians in Mexico to blame the United Stated for their own failures. There fault that their own citizens are fleeing Mexico for a better life. Why, because the crook politicians have their hand in the till. No different than some of our own crooks in Washington. For some strange reason, some people do not really believe that there is a war full fledged war at our Southern Border. This war is no different than any other war, there are allies and there is an enemy.
What makes this war so unique is the FACT it is being fought at the door step of the United States of America, this war is being prosecuted along the entire southern border of the United States, and the President of the United States is not doing one damn thing to protect the borders, leaving thousands of miles of border exposed to the Enemy. If not for the efforts of the United States Border Patrol, the State Police, and the Sheriffs Office’s of those counties on the Border, the United States would be completely exposed to the enemies of the United States. If that does not alarm you nothing will.
(Cartel Member Killed In Firefight In Diaz Ordaz Tamp)
This is a fact, I am not making this up one bit. The Obama Administration has chosen to neglect the borders for one reason and one reason only, it is call racial appeasement. I guess now I will be labeled a racist, because I said racial appeasement, so be it. However I am not a racist against anyone, say what you like, I am not a racist. Remember the saying, do not judge a book by it’s cover, very true, especially me. My last name of course you know is Parker, how ever I am Hispanic….BOO! Very true.
I also have a pinch of Sioux native American as well. anyway. what Obama is doing is neglecting our southern border, Period. Obama is trying to sell the fact that our Borders are fee and and clear of any violence. The messenger Obama has spreading the word is, none other than his very own……….Janet Napolitano, his Director of Homeland Security. What else to you expect her to say, especially when Obama instructs her to say the borders are safe. I will try and show otherwise.
Cache of Weapons Seized after a Fire Fight near Reynosa Tamps.
About the Weapons you see pictured above. The Mexican Army displays the seized weapons after a raid operation on a drug HITMAN training camp near the Reynosa 50 km (31 miles) away from Brownsville 11 May 2010. The army seized MACHINE-GUNS , RIFLES, FOUR ROCKET-PROPELLED GRENADE LAUNCHERS, TWO ROCKETS, TWO CASES OF GRENADES, AMMUNITION, TWELVE TRUCKS and STATE OF THE ART COMMUNICATION RADIOS DURING THE RAID, according to local media. One drug hitman died during the operation. It is amazing to me that the President of the United States and his puppet Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security can say without batting an eye tell the American people in good conscious, that our Borders are secure, because it is not.
Evidence of that is; just look at the the stacks of weapons depicted in the photograph, and this haul was from one raid, one raid. Can you imagine how any weapons are getting through on a daily basis. I am not just talking rinky dink weapons. You saw them, grenade launchers, fragmentation grenades.
Cartel Grenade Launcher
The Cartels are well armed as you can see. The weapons that you see here were all seized in just one raid. Imagine the amount of weapons that they are currently in possession. Yes, I guess I was wrong, the Borders are really secure. Haha
You have to have Grenades for the launchers, right!
The caption that is written in Spanish says the grenades were also seized in the raid where all the other weapons and ammo was seized. Again friends, these the Cartels have serious money, as you can tell. If you think that the Mexican Army is going to stop this mess, not in our life time. Because of the economy of Mexico is worse than ours, Cartels have been able to pay off Mexican officials and pay citizens some money to assist the cartels as lookouts, messengers and as I said yesterday, they have trained teenage kids as assassins, paying the kids as much as $2,000 a month.
That is a lot of money for teenagers. It’s the lure of the money that people are willing to assist the cartel. When you are staving to death, and there are no jobs in your own country, you choices become limited. You know that in Mexico not going to pay welfare, not on a scale as the United States does. The other choice, even if they do not want to help the cartel, because of the money, you wind up on the cartel payroll. What the hell else can they do. The problem is, Mexico is making this our problem, because he know that Obama will give them welfare, hospital care all on the American Taxpayer. Now another problem.
Stolen Vehicles From the USA
Pictured above is 3 vehicles out of 12 that were recovered. All of the vehicles that you see depicted above were stolen from the United States. Most Cartels have groups which they train to steal certain vehicles for them. They may come over and steal as many 10 to 12 vehicle at one time. They have been stealing high end vehicles, Cadillac Escalades, High value pickups. They keep the vehicles until such point they are totally ruined, or shot to pieces. The cartel have other vehicles stolen to replace the ones that they ruined. It is a vicious cycle, that never ends. You damn near have to remove a tire from your vehicle before it is stolen.
Chevrolet Suburbans, Ford F250′s etc, you get the picture. The victim reports his vehicle as stolen, files a claim with the insurance company, a few weeks later, the insurance company pays the loss and buys another vehicle. No wonder our insurance rates go through the roof. It is just a vicious circle. Yes, Napolitano is right, our Borders are Secure
Decapitated Rival Cartel Members
I spoke with a blogger buddy of mine who said to get this out so as many people as possible will get the message that our southern borders are not as secure as the bill of goods that Obama and especially Janet Napolitano say. I hate to rain on their parade but the border is not secure, and there is no telling who or how many OTM’S have gained entry into the United States, a once proud Nation, who is being led down a path of destruction. The Cartels are brutal and ruthless cold-blooded killers.
I am going to add in one other observation that many highly paid consultants are missing. Maybe they did snap on what I am going to you; I have lived here in the Lower Rio Grande Valley my entire life, with the exception of 4 years where I lived in sunny San Diego, California. Growing up in the Valley like I did, Mexico was a place my dad would take us. My Step mother is from San Luis, Potosi Mexico. About a 6 hour drive from Brownsville.
We never ever had issues with anyone, ever. Well lets back to now. Mexico is now seeing violence like never before, terrible violence. Car bombings, brutal body mutilations, as in carving initials into corpse like a “Z” for Zetas, and brutal decapitations with the heads thrown out in the streets for all to see, that is called intimation. The cartels want the locals to see the bodies, so they understand as to what can happen to them. Mexico like any country has had murders, but not brutal decapitations.
Now out of no where, we Mexico is experiencing car-bombings, brutal murders, decapitations. As I said, never happened much before. Do you know who is teaching the cartels these little tricks of intimidation. Our Middle Eastern brethren, yes sir, the Hamas as instructed the cartels in how to make car bombs, and how to decapitate people. Like I said before, you never saw the cartel going public like they have now, before, it was secrecy, total secrecy, never operating in the open as they do today.
Remember What I told you, the Cartels, have always been present and operating in the United States, however they operated in complete secrecy. They were so secret, you never knew who they were, you may be sitting next to the Cartel Kingpin and never know it. Also the cartels attacked there rivals, but for the most part would not bother the locals. Now it is a total different story. In the above picture, you are looking at the Zeta’s basic Uniform that they wear on a daily basis. they will also wear military style CAMO.
Also, they have had patches sewn onto berets and they also use shoulder patches, much like what you would see on the local police. By wearing a uniform, they are telling the Mexican Army, and Federal Police, here we are, what are you going to do about it, and the response from most everyone except the Military is we are not going to get in your way. Why you ask,,,would you, if you knew that if you even lifted a hand against any cartel faction, you head was chopped off and thrown in the street for all to see. So the Federal Police for the most part are very ineffective against the cartel.
Headless Body Tossed Out like a Bag of Trash
If you can, take a look at the “Z” which is carved onto the chest of this man. The reason for this mutilation is two fold in my opinion. Number one, to let the general public know that if you poke your nose into business that does not concern you, you will know the consequences. Number two, is to let the rival cartel know, that this soldier did not complete his mission, whatever that mission might have been.
The Cartels just rule by force and murder, they take no prisoners.
muyfuerte This video is very graphic, it a victim being decapitated, so viewer be WARE, this video is not suited for anyone under the age of 18.
This is extremely violent video. It shows the complete decapitation of some poor soul, who has no idea he is about to be murdered. Yes I agree, the borders are safer than ever before. If you believe that! Then you are more than likely a liberal.
I hate posting this type of violence, I have withheld the photos for a period of time, but I am sick and tired of our Secretary of Homeland Security saying our borders are secure, they are not.
Please try and have a great weekend, may God Bless You all. and one other more thing…
Walk Slow and Drink lots of Water….cause it shore is dry out here.
Let me warn you, there are some extremely graphic photographs through the article. On occasions, while having coffee with friends the topic of the border war comes up. I will be asked a question by someone who is either from out of state, or is from someone who is not familiar with the border war. I am asked if the border war is as bad as reported, or is the war just sensationalized by the media from Mexico and the United States. I am here to tell you, not only is the border war dangerous, it is, in my opinion spinning totally out of control in some areas in Mexico. The attacks happen daily as do the murders. I would tell anyone thinking about going in to Mexico right now, I would say this…..ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY OR WHAT! Am I trying to scare you. Yes I am. Go to Walmart if you want to save money, Mexico is not the place to go right now.
Just take a look at the flow of traffic as a shoot out broke out in the middle of the highway in Matamoros, is a major city of over a million in population, give or take a few. Matamoros is a stones throw from Brownsville, Texas, a city which has a population of over 100,000. Both cities depend on each other for their economies to flourish. The citizens of Matamoros, Mexico are really struggling and having a difficult time adjusting to the violence. I will say this, Matamoros has some very good people, not everyone is a Cartel member, they are good people struggling to exist within the violence.
The people still have to exist, the children still have to go to school, and the mother and fathers have to work, buy groceries and what not. I can’t image how people endure, but they do; can you just imagine taking your children to school and all of sudden you are caught in the middle of a fire-fight between the cartels and the military, well it happens more than you would like to think. I would be panic stricken, with one thing on my mind, and that is saving my kid(s).
I am sure trying to save the life of my children, and that of others if possible. I do not want to say that a shootout occurs in front of a school daily, but it does happen, it may happen downtown, or in the neighborhoods, or right out in the middle of the street in broad daylight, for all to see. It is terrible and their appears there is no end insight. Mexico is putting up a valiant effort, but victory is no where in sight, no where. No one seems to know what to do next. Until Mexico gets a firm grasp on what the next step is the violence continues. Many families have been displaced by the violence in there neighborhood.
Running to Save His daughters Life
The sad part is the children having to live in fear of just going outside and play like normal kids. Many of the parents have told me that they do not allow the children outside, not even to play it’s too dangerous. There has been a lot said of the cartels exploiting young teenagers youths to do some of their dirty work like being drug mules, in which the kids are 16 years of age or younger.
The reason being is, they know our justice system as well as the Mexican justice system will not prosecute juveniles for the most part. Cartels are also training young teenage girls for assassinations and other crimes, some the kids are as young as 12 to 14 years of age. I just can not fathom an assassin that is as young as 12 to 14 years old, but they do. The teens are lured to the cartel by the promise of money and living life in the fast lane. The teens have been paid in the area of $2,000 per month, that is a large sum of money, for a teen. The cartel is looking for a way to get away with their actions without causing detection.
It’s not unusual for the cartels to try to use individuals they think the police wouldn’t look at, and who better than very young kids. Also, the kids are used as “Mules”. Mules is a slang used by Police. A “MULE” is a person(s) who will smuggle the drugs to a secluded area; usually someone on the U.S. side is already waiting at a predetermined location for the narcotic cargo. That is all a “MULE” is used for. Someone else is used to take the drugs to a safe house or warehouse whatever the case may be.
The results of the fighting can be seen laying in the street. He was a Mexican cartel member gunned down in a fire-fight with the Mexican Military in the streets of Matamoros, Mexico. Another causality of this Border War is the tourism, which Mexico depends on to fuel their economy. As it is, Matamoros is struggling to make it. Which is nothing new. Prior to the Border Wars, Mexico’s economy was in the tank. The war has only made it worse.
The Return of Van Jones and Marxist Street Protests
It was just a matter of time before Al Sharpton found his way to the “Occupy Wall Street”. Sharpton now joins “SEIU and the UAW workers union at the protest. Which also stinks of Van Jones and his cronies like Code pink as being the guilty ones who have organized this protest. If this is not enough to make you think that this Jones the Marxist is not involved in the organization of this protest, read Jones quote, he is calling this his “American Dream Movement. I call it paying the unions to come in and cause disruptions and cause fights between the protestors and the Police. Nothing new.
Guess who predicted civil unrest, yep, Van Jones. If that is what has to happen to takes to regain our country from these communist bastards, bring it! I believe there will be more than one ready to defend this country from the likes of you, Van Jones. You know they are all trying to make this into a second Vietnam style protest, the exception here they are being paid, well at least the Unions thugs are. The Union thugs are out trying to cause unrest by challenging the police, so that it appears the police are being heavy handed. I believe the police will be able to show enough restraint to hold back.

I believe the police will be able to show enough restraint to hold back.
However, if violence does break out, the police will defend themselves no doubt what i thought was entertaining, was several protestors were interviewed and asked the following question, “Why are you here, and what is gained by your presence here? One of the answers was, “Well, I don’t know why I am really here, it just seemed like a good thing to do and a place to hang out for a day.” The protestors words, not mine.
“October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back,” he went on. “We are a part of something called the American Dream Movement. We`re having a huge summit on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Come—you can go to rebuildthedream.com and find out more about it. We are going to build a progressive counterbalance to the Tea Party.” Van Jones “I think everybody should hold onto your seats,” said Jones on Thursday’s MSNBC program “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.” I do wonder what Jones means by hold on to your seats. I think I know.
Washington (CNN) — The Rev. Al Sharpton will bring his nationally syndicated radio show to lower Manhattan Monday as the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations enter their 24th day. Sharpton, an outspoken civil rights activist and talk show host, will broadcast from Zuccotti Park, where the protests are based, according to his National Action Network.
Me and my BFF
Organizers of the “leaderless resistance movement” also have billed Monday as “Kids Speak Out” day, with school children off for Columbus Day. “Even as banks got bailed out, American children have witnessed their parents get tossed out of their homes and lose their jobs. Public school kids have lost arts, music and physical education,” the movement’s website said. “Now our kids can see activists take these issues to the streets in democratic forum at Occupy Wall Street.”
On Sunday, politicians fought to cast the ongoing protests in a very different light, with two GOP presidential hopefuls calling them “class warfare” and prominent Democrats expressing support for the protesters. As lawmakers took to the political talk shows, a crowd of about 100 people protested outside the White House, part of a wave of protests spreading nationwide inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement. The Secret Service said one person was arrested and will be charged with assault on a police officer after throwing a shoe at a uniformed officer. Continue Reading:
I was bouncing around You Tube, as I usually do when I stumbled onto this rather interesting video. at first I thought that it was going to be strictly about the klan, which I would not have been interested in, however once I started listening I was rather surprised at what it was really about. Listen to it, it is really quite interesting. There is absolutely nothing I can add to this that would make any difference at all. If you want really lean something listen to it. I really did something. Enjoy.
This is what happens to poor ole boys who speak the truth, you get slimmed for not being political correct. The hell with political correctness. The only thing that ESPN is trying to do is APPEASE their left handed batters. Another words appease their LIBERAL political friends. That is all they are doing. What is wrong with the truth, in this case, for Old Hank he told the truth, the “TRUTH SET HIM FREE.” I am sorry old buddy, it pains me to see you go. It is what it is I am afraid. What happened to Freedom of expression, you mean it only counts when it does not mean political correctness or what?
"Bocephus MNF No More"
Appearing on Fox & Friends, country music icon Hank Williams Jr. compared Barack Obama to Hitler. Williams said President Obama and Speaker John Boehner’s recent golf outing “would be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli leader) Benjamin Netanyahu.”
I might have issues with the statement if it were not true, but it is, just look for one, how Netanyahu has been treated by Obama, he has treated him like a door mat. Want more proof? How many visits has Obama made since he was elected President, NONE, not one, why is that, either he hates Jews, or he is a closet Muslim, one of the two, lean toward closet Muslim, my opinion of course.
When elected, who did he give his first interview to, now think real hard on this one, do you give up? Al-Arabiya TV exclusive Middle Eastern News Organization. I am not making this up, just please, please do your home work. Discover for yourself, what the truth really is. Being president, one just might want to give your first interview to an AMERICAN NEWS OUTLET, not the middle east. Just saying, common since might tell you that. That was the VERY FIRST RED FLAG! So you see, old Bocephus might just have a point, just maybe.
So ESPN trying to be political correct flushed Hanks song down the toilet. Way to go ESPN, you bunch 0f yellow neck cowards, the truth hurts don’t it. Your Monday night football sucks anyway. I could understand if ole Hank was an employee, but he is not. So just remember this C&W singers, your songs will be screened for proper content now should you want to be on ESPN.
Well my friends, another day of rejoicing, another Radical Islamic terrorist has gone to visit Allah and check out his stable of Virgins, Happy trails you bastard, courtesy of a Drone missile. I guess he forgot to check his rear view mirror as he was “Driving Down Hells Highway”
(N.Y.Times) Anwar al-Awlaki was a radical American-born Muslim cleric who became a leading figure in Al Qaeda’s affiliate in Yemen. He was killed there on Sept. 30, 2011 by a missile fired from an American drone aircraft.
Mr. Awlaki had been perhaps the most prominent English-speaking advocate of violent jihad against the United States, with his message carried extensively over the Internet. His online lectures and sermons had been linked to more than a dozen terrorist investigations in the United States, Britain and Canada. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan had exchanged e-mails with Mr. Awlaki before the deadly shooting rampage on Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. Faisal Shahzad, who tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square in May, 2010, cited Mr. Awlaki as an inspiration.
The strike also killed a radical American colleague traveling with Mr. Awlaki who edited Al Qaeda’s online jihadist magazine. He was identified by Yemen’s official news agency as Samir Khan, an American citizen born in Pakistan. Many details of the strike were unclear, but one American official said that Mr. Awlaki, whom the United States had been hunting in Yemen for more than two years, had been identified as the target in advance and was killed with a Hellfire missile fired from a drone operated by the Central Intelligence Agency.
The strike appeared to be the first time in the United States-led war on terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks that an American citizen had been deliberately targeted and killed by American forces. In 2010, the Obama administration had taken the rare step of authorizing the targeted killing of Mr. Awlaki, even though he was an American citizen — a step that had provoked lawsuits and criticism from human rights groups. He had survived at least one earlier missile strike from an American military drone.
Those drone attacks had been part of a clandestine Pentagon program to hunt members of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the group believed responsible for a number of failed attempts to strike the United States, including the thwarted plot to blow up a trans-Atlantic jet on Dec. 25, 2009, as it was preparing to land in Detroit.

Not to say that since Awalaki was justifiably vanished by a missle, that another idiot has not already taken his place, but I promise you this, they will not take time to go have a picnic without first looking up, just wondering if a missile is not screaming down on his ass. With the death of Awalaki, the next fool will always be looking up and will not have a restful day. I do not care what he says about his Allah, he does not want to go up in a puff of smoke. He mind will not rest one minute wondering if today is the day. I rejoicing that Awalaki got his, and one by one, they rest will get theirs as well.
I am not trying to sound gleeful, but I am glad that we are striking back and killing those that have killed totally innocent human being for no other reason than they hate the west and they despise the United States of American and our values. The terrorist will stand up and say that they are not scared to die, they say they are ready to die; if that is the case and they are ready to die trying to kill Americans, or other people from western countries, then I happy to grant their wish. Sooner or later, their wish will be granted by a HELLFIRE MISSLE. I am glad that the Obama Administration pulled the trigger, at least something was done right, we scratched one American born terrorist off the list. CIA, Job well done. Go find another one.
Until next time my friends….walk slow, & drink lots of water!
With the Solyndra still freshly in our rear view mirror, the Department of Energy has kept the American Dream alive by awarding $1 BILLION DOLLARS to what else, GREEN ENERGY COMPANIES. Let me repeat this just in case you did not understand.
The Department of Energy gave $1 Billion of our tax dollars to Green Energy Companies. Now here comes the biggest coincidence. including a $737 million loan guarantee to a company known as SolarReserve: The La Jolla, California-based gatekeeper has embraced yet another leadership structure following its purge by CalPERS. The latest line-up includes FINRA mediation expert and San Francisco political insider Ron Pelosi.
It’s an unusual biography for a person listed second in the “Leadership” section of a private equity advisory firm’s website: “[A]ccomplished Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) mediator. . . has served in a number of positions as a public official.”
But perhaps the unusual circumstances of Pacific Corporate Group call for the unusual skills of Ronald Pelosi, a San Francisco political insider and financial in Minority Leader of the United States House of Representatives.dustry polymath who is the brother-in-law of Nancy Pelosi, La Jolla offices of PCG:
La Jolla, California-based PCG is a veteran of the private equity gatekeeping industry and has been led since 1979 by Christopher Bower, a former public accountant who successfully gave the institutional investment market what it wanted – more and more private equity advice. PCG’s marquee client was the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, until recently. Late last year the nation’s largest pension decided to fire PCG as part of a house-cleaning exercise. The gatekeeper had been too close to disgraced placement agent Al Villalobos for CalPERS’ liking.
On SolarReserve’s website is a list of “investment partners,” including the “PCG Clean Energy & Technology Fund (East) LLC.” As blogger American Glob quickly discovered, PCG’s number two is none other than guess who? “Ronald Pelosi,” Yes Nancy’s brother in law. I really guess we are to believe that this loan was just coincidental right. Maybe so, I have no way of really knowing, but it “shore” don’t smell good from where I am sitting.
Well guess what, there is one more bit of information that might be of so interest to someone. solar Reserve’s other investment partners is Argonaut Private Equity: Steve Mitchell and Argonaut Private Equity may have an opportunity to recover some of their money in the Solyndra debacle now that the Department of Energy has just handed out a $737 million dollar loan, which is guarantee to a company backed by Argonaut who also adds Steve Mitchell as a “board participant.” Now ain’t that just sweet as honey. What a way to do do business. It is just amazing to me how corrupt people can get, excuse me, allegedly corrupt people.
According to Tarek Fatah the Obama administration has been infiltrated by Muslim brotherhood. Do I believe what Mr. Fatah has alleged, you bet your life I believe it. In MY opinion, Obama knows it as well. he is just playing the stupid card, hoping that he can pull off a snow job on the American public; so far, he is doing a good job of snowing the public with LIES. Obama knows exactly who he has in his “CIRCLE OF TRUST”. Why do I believe that. Go no further that Obama’s appointment of Mr. Van Jones, Obama’s Green czar who was forced to resign amid controversy. Van Jones is no more than a socialist, he was exposed and forced to resign. Obama is using the power of his “Presidential Executive Order” To get things done.
“White House spokesman Robert Gibbs on Sunday explained the resignation on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” saying, “Van Jones decided was that the agenda of this president was bigger than any one individual.” The president does not endorse Jones’s past statements and actions, “but he thanks him for his service,” Gibbs said. A White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a personnel matter, said Jones’s past was not studied as intensively as other advisers because of his relatively low rank. Jones’s position did not require Senate confirmation, so he avoided the kind of vetting Cabinet officials were subjected to. In addition, as an adviser to the Council on Environmental Quality, rather than to Obama directly, his past was not reviewed to the same degree as the more senior “assistants to the president” and other top advisers inside the West Wing.” SOURCE:
Obama’s Questionable Associations
All anyone has to do is just OPEN your eyes and do one thing, do not focus on what Obama says so much, but focus on what he DOES. In spanish, there is a saying “dime con quien to juntas, y te tego quien eres.” Translation is the following, ” Tell me who you associate with, and I will tell you who YOU are. Basically if you hang with crooks, chances are you are a crook. If you hang with good people chances are you are good person., you get the idea.
Obama’s track record of who he hangs out with and some of the people he appoints or tried to appoint as czar’s tells you about Obama the man. I did not make this up. I did some simple research, and looked, took a few notes, and there it is my friends, right in front of your nose. What is bad, it shows you Obama was not properly vetted, and if he was vetted, someone did a poor job. Should we be concerned, absolutely. What we have here Is Obama's friends, is the FOX in the hen house.

I am going to stop at Nadhmi Auchi, however their are many and I say many people that have access to Obama that have no business in the White House. If anyone one else had associates like I just listed, there is no way you would ever pass a background test. I am making this post rather short, for now, however, I am doing additional research and will follow up on this post at a later date. Just take the time and listen to the video’s I have included. They are rather long, but well worth watching. I am going to close for now, but please take the time to listen to a couple of the videos, well worth your time. I am totally convinced Obama has many skeleton’s in the closet that need to be opened.
