Obama’s Desecrators of 9/11

How can the hard left complain about Obama if he has people like this working for him?

President Obama is counting on two Marxists who blame America for the 9/11 terrorist attacks to help turn Sept. 11 from a day of solemn remembrance into an unseemly celebration of radical environmentalism and Big Government.

The two men charged with this politically correct exercise in desecration and icon-smashing are the boorish, self-absorbed Rev. Lennox Yearwood and the comparatively suave, articulate Van Jones. Jones is adept at concealing his radicalism; Yearwood is incapable of doing so.

Yearwood is apparently an ordained minister of the Church of God in Christ. He uses a megaphone and 1960s style protests to get his message out. Jones, the more urbane and media-savvy of the two, is the president’s green jobs czar at the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ). Jones uses Web 2.0 and the language of capitalism —non-threatening words like investment — to sell socialism. But more on their Marxism in a moment.

As I wrote last week, about 60 groups including those associated with Yearwood and Jones, are planning to help the Obama administration greenwash the meaning of 9/11. They want to turn each Sept. 11 into a National Day of Service focused on the importance of bicycle paths, ethanol, carbon emission controls, putting solar panels on your roof, and radical community organizing. It has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year’s election campaign.

Somehow after President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act into law on April 21, the “National Day of Service and Remembrance” referred to in the legislation started being called the “National Day of Service” by the White House. No doubt there are many sincere people who’ve signed up to volunteer and who plan to do good works on this day, unaware that the administration is trying to hijack the meaning of 9/11.

In an Aug. 4 video on the official White House blog, Jones discussed the administration’s plan to flush 9/11 down the memory hole just as it has tried to rechristen the Global War on Terror the “Overseas Contingency Operations.” Jones said the National Day of Service will be a great opportunity “for people to connect, to find other people in your peer group who are also passionate about repowering America but also greening up America and cleaning up America.”

At a White House press availability the same day, Yearwood was joined by HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, and Department of Energy Under Secretary Kristina Johnson. Yearwood said that the National Day of Service will be “the first milestone” of a larger effort called Green the Block. That campaign attempts to convince Americans that the utopian fantasy of an oil-free so-called green economy is possible without turning the U.S. into a Third World country.

Sixty or so groups participated in the White House-sponsored teleconference call on Aug. 11 led by Yearwood. Yearwood and other leaders said on the call that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference. Groups on the call included run-of-the-mill interest groups, environmentalists, labor groups, and extreme-left groups including ACORN, Apollo Alliance, Color of Change, Friends of the Earth, and Yearwood’s Hip Hop Caucus.

My source told me over the weekend that members of the coalition are “still in shock” that their plans got out. The groups haven’t come up with a crisis management strategy yet, the source said. “So far it looks like they’re planning to ride out the controversy.”

The source previously said these people view Sept. 11 as a “Republican” day because it focuses the public on supposedly “Republican” issues like patriotism, national security, and terrorism. According to liberals, 9/11 was long ago hijacked by Republicans and their enablers and unfairly used to bludgeon helpless Democrats at election time.

MSNBC’s foremost left-wing bloviator, Keith Olbermann, summed up this ugly perspective the week after the Republican Party convention last year by accusing the GOP of turning 9/11 into “a brand name” and “a Republican campaign slogan.”

Olbermann is hardly the only progressive to take this view.

Similar accusations have been hurled at the GOP by MoveOn.org and by one of its major donors, liberal über-philanthropist George Soros who accused the Bush administration of exploiting the “politics of fear.” Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said President George W. Bush “use[d] the deaths of Sept. 11…as a cover for his right-wing agenda.” Vice President Joe Biden, former President Jimmy Carter, former Vice President Al Gore, former Sens. John Edwards (D-NC) and Tom Daschle (D-SD), former Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe, Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, and a parade of left-leaning public figures all leveled the same charge.

But Yearwood and Jones go much further than the conventional liberal Bush-bashing. They have both made it clear that they believe the attacks of 9/11 were America’s fault.

Yearwood, a younger version of Rev. Jeremiah Wright — without his racism but with his lung capacity — blamed the world’s problems on America in a 2007 interview. “Our country as a superpower was literally causing hell on earth,” said “The Rev” (as he often refers to himself).

The Obama White House appears to exists in a circle of ideology which is beginning to take on the shape of a noose. This group is tone deaf to the real America and I hope that starts to manifest itself in the 2010 election cycle.

Melvin| 8.31.09 @ 7:36AM

Why has America become so damn afraid of confronting Communism? Just because these Marxists are not thousands of miles away and speak a different language, we should be no less vigilant in the war against them.
Is it because they are black and carry the title of reverend that they are somehow immune from criticism from those who don’t share their Marxist ideology.
Van Jones has made it perfectly clear in what his intentions are and he will stop at nothing in making sure that he and the President cram Marxism down Americans throats just like Obama Care. But the bigger issue isn’t Obama Care right now, its America’s feckless attitude in fighting it’s enemies foreign and domestic.
How America gotten so fat and lazy they it cannot even rise up to confront domestic Communism? Can’t America tear itself away from pop culture mentality for one minute to expose what damage that President Obama, Van Jones, and Lennox Yearwood can do to this Country?
Government run education is churning out junior Red Star pioneers faster than Borsch can be served in the government run free lunch program and still America is infatuated with LeeAnn Rymes getting jiggy with the latest flavor of the pop culture day.
Maybe America deserves to stand in line for hours on end for toilet paper from the government run store, to pass the time we could stand in line and dream how it used to be.

Again, none of this surprises. He is, who he is. He is, what he is. It was NEVER a secret. He's a MARXIST. You don't believe me? Go read his book. 'Dreams of my drunken, no good father'. He tells everybody right up front: "When I got to college, I SOUGHT OUT the MARXIST PROFESSORS." His RACIST, AMERICA HATING, ANTI-SEMETIC Pastor, sang the praises of MARXISM from the pulpit every Sunday. And Barak Obama ate it up. His associates include the Weather Underground TERRORIST couple, Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhan. Both avowed MARXISTS. Khaleed Rashidi, the P.L.O. Terrorist Recruiter, the Black Panthers. There's a reason he 'moves about' at ease, in the company of Chavez, Ortega, and the Castros. He admires them. He longs to BE them. He came to the Campaign with a voting record, second to none, in its' FAR LEFT rigidity. Yet, you had people out there, the talking heads on the boob tube, telling everybody how 'CENTRIST' he would be. The only bright spot in all of this, is that he is so ARROGANT, so full of HUBRIS, and that will be his downfall. There's always a tipping point. And he brings it closer, with every word he speaks. And it ain't gonna be pretty. Revolutions never are.

Well, American Spectator commenters, as we all know, we experienced a bloodless coup this past election. Now, perhaps it is finally dawning on some of his voters what they have done. Just look at the Rasmussin poll Doug Bandow references in his blog post "The People Ain't Happy with the President."

The people are wising up, but will the D.C. talking heads catch up? Will folks other than bloggers and Beck and Limbaugh start calling these people what we know they are? Even Newt Gingrich compared the way AG Eric Holder is going backwards to investigate the CIA (which has already been investigated by career prosecutors and dealt with) to a Third World country. Tis our future if we don't confront it now. You can find Gingrich here:

Seriously, I can't even stand being around an Obama voter.

I just spent a week with my Obama supporting in-laws who asked me every day "what are you looking at"? when I was on my computer.

When the second Trop Storm was approaching the east coast, my mother-in-law said poor Obama---can't catch a break----I muttered "awww, poor guy" under my breath. They haven't asked me one question about him ----yet. Although my F-in-law heard me and chuckled. Kind of like---aha! I knew you didn't like him!

He has united the Republican party like no Republican leader can.

Michael Steele----get a clue.

The problem is that the voters continue to send the same low life people back to congress no matter what. If and I do mean IF we wish to experience change in Congress we have got to try something different or else we are going to get the same worthless results. The GOP and the Democrats have proven time and again that they are not listening. How big of a hammer do they have to hit you in the head with before you accept their positition? If you believe that either of these parties are going to offer you somthing new then the last 30 years of history have no meaning. I think we should look at the facts and accept them. Do not rationalize or spin them. The most sage advice I can offer is when the horse (Donkey & Elephant) is dead GET OFF.

How soon we forget on September 11, 2001, nineteen (19) Al-Qaeda missionaries were martyred attempting to witness for the Religion of Peace to wayward and sinful America. It is only fitting and proper that we Americans honor their courage and sacrifice by dedicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave all they had. The golden calf and his on a high priests should be praised for causing us to shift our focus from the other messy details of that day. Ouch! I just bit my tongue.

Mr. President, if you please,
(A Day of Service)

Mr. President, if you please,
will you do one thing for me?
Read the list, so you will know
those who died eight years ago.
Is there listed some you knew,
even one or may be two?
If not I ask you hear me through,
this is what I ask of you.
Sit down and take your pen in hand,
put off what ever you have planned.
Replace each name, of honored dead,
with someone dear to you instead.
Start with those you love the best,
your wife and children, all the rest,
all your family, every one,
friends and neighbors one by one.
When at last you reach the end,
go and read the list again.
Now, since all you love are dead,
and grief now fills your empty head,
please rethink your callous plot
so those who died are not forgot.

It's truly unbelievable that scum like this are allowed within 10000 of our White House! Our only hope is that, with healthcare PLUS, American taxpayers/voters are finally becoming educated concerning WHO is running our country; and are willing to [in addition to attend town-hall etc meeting] go to the polls in 2010 and 2012 and begin to take back our country!!!!

Have your say: Israel
The ex-premier faces a lengthy charge sheet including fraud, breach of trust, tax evasion and taking bribes.

The charges present him "as a thief, a liar and a serial grafter", according to the Haaretz newspaper.

He stands accused of abusing his position "in systematic and drawn out activities for financial benefits".

In what has become known as the Rishon Tours case, he is charged with double and triple charging public organisations and the state for reimbursement for travelling overseas.

He accumulated almost a hundred thousand dollars which he spent travelling with his family and alone, it is alleged.

In the Talansky affair he is said to have pocketed $600,000 dollars from the American fundraiser Morris Talansky.

It is alleged Mr Talansky either wired him the money or handed it over in envelopes stuffed with cash.

Talk of "cash stuffed envelopes" has caused the most distaste among the Israeli public with their former prime minister.

The indictment alone is an embarrassing postscript to Mr Olmert's lacklustre career.

He was forced from office because of the welter of corruption allegations, but his popularity ratings had collapsed anyway in the wake of the failed Israeli war against Hizbollah in 2006.

His spokesman insists Olmert will be able to clear his name.

He said: "After they removed a prime minister it was clear that the Attorney General and the State Prosecution had no other option than to file an indictment against Olmert.

"The court of law, on the other hand, is free of such ulterior motives, and therefore Olmert is convinced that at the court he will be able once and for all to prove his innocence."

In the meantime, Israelis face the prospect of another former leader's alleged wrongdoings being paraded in a lengthy trial.

Ehud Olmert's former justice minister Haim Ramon was convicted of forcibly kissing a young Israeli soldier.

His ex-finance minister Abraham Hirchson was sentenced to five years in jail for embezzling hundreds of thousands of pounds as chairman of a trade union.

To Melvin: I agree wholeheartedly. I suggest you save your comments in bookform and pass them along to someone for future reference.

The other thing you can do is educate those about the "republic." Make it known that our form of government is "capitalist" for a reason and what that reason is.

Make it clear that if "we the people" desire to change the form of government from "republic/capitalist" to "democracy/marxist" they need a Constitutional amendment.

Of course, you could point out that the way they are changing it is through the Courts, but people just get a glazed look on their faces when you try to talk about that.

The facts are that a "republic" was instituted among men to prevent factions from taking the property of a citizen and giving it to himself or others.

We now have the "factions" who are the radicals because they have been taught that "redistribution" of wealth is their "constitutional right." When it is just the opposite. The attainment of property for themselves (legal means) is everyone's constitutional right and the protection of that property that they attained is everyone's constitutional right.

Why don't they just knock on my front door and tell me they've come for what I have because they "want it?"

Instead, the cowards come through the back door and get the dirty politicians to do their dirty work for them.

They are lower than thieves. At least a thief acts on his own accord (although, it's getting so there are more and more rings), but the citizens are acting with the politicos direct help. This is what makes them "looters."

Sue| 8.31.09 @ 11:40AM

Mattled: You have to speak out. You are being cowered by the very people you need to help. I have friends and relatives that I've alienated because they just wouldn't listen. Too bad. Their loss. I raised my children by telling them everything and explaining the consequences. That way, they couldn't say "I didn't know." Having someone say that to you is worse than not speaking out.

Try this: Wall Street Journal, Steven Calabresi

"In a September 6, 2001 interview with Chicago Public Radio station WBEZ-FM, Mr. Obama stated that the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren "never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society" and "to that extent as radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical." "He also noted that the COURT didn't break free from the essential CONSTRAINTS that were placed by the FOUNDING FATHERS in the CONSTITUTION, at least as it has been INTERPRETED." "That is to say, he noted "that the U.S. CONSTITUTION AS WRIITTEN is only a guarantee of negative liberties from government - and not an ENTITLEMENT TO A RIGHT TO WELFARE OR ECONOMIC JUSTICE."

Sue| 8.31.09 @ 11:48AM

His objective is to "radicalize" the Court even more; nothing proves this more than the appointment of Sotomayor. She's just a pawn to be used by the radicals.

The Federalist Papers state that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of all the Land and preempts the any and all State laws; yet, here we have an Ivy League school educated judge that has made comments that the 2nd Amendment rights MAY NOT apply to states. They've already done damage with our property rights by using the unconstitutional "public benefit"/ "public use" argument and we should have been marching in the streets then.

The Federalist papers also state that when there is a conflict between the constitutionality of a statute and the people, THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE ARE SUPREME. Additionally, when the judgement about constitutionality goes to the Supremes, they are OBLIGATED TO DEFER TO THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE AND NO SOVEREIGN STATE OR FEDERAL LEGISLATED STATUTE.

SPEAK UP AND SPEAK LOUDLY - THEY HAVE TO HEAR!

THEY WILL BE PROUDER OF YOU THAN OBAMA.

2) The 34 so-called Czars are the komissars directing the policy execution from the White House while under no other supervision except by the Great Leader himself.

Today it is taught in the schools that "Anti-Semitism" began in Germany in the 1930s after which they were deported. What is not studied is the fact that at one time or other the Jews have been expelled from every nation in Europe! When the Jews first began to immigrate to America the early colonialists in New York, Charleston and Savannah tried to ban their entry. Benjamin Franklin pleaded with the members of the Continental Congress to enter a specific ban against Jewish immigration into the U. S. Constitution to bar them for all time to come.

The Jews claim that they are "only" a religion. The truth is that the Jews are a RACE. Less than 30% are members of any Synagogue. Whether they are Orthodox religious, atheists, capitalists or communists - they still claim to be Jews - members of the Jewish race! Every race has inherited traits. In the case of the Jews they include trading, money-changing, usury, and a loathing for "productive labor" which is scorned as beneath the dignity of the Jews in their "bible" called "THE TALMUD."

The Jews have not changed since the days when Jesus Christ took up a whip and drove "the money changers out of the Temple." Jews have always united to form monopolies. Today they control all the department store chains and speciality shops along with the lucrative jewelry and animal fur trade. Jews dominate the fields of all precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, tin, lead, etc. They will always ban together to drive Gentile competitors out of business.

Today America is being flooded with Jewish immigrants from Russia and even 20,000 per year leave Israel for the U. S. - all with dollar signs in their eyes. Jews have used their vaunted money-power to seize control of the Democratic Party and constitute over 50% of all its financial contributions. Today they are buying up more and more major U. S. companies. While only 3% of the population, the Jews control over 25% of the nation's wealth and this percentage rises every year. They are the only racial group totally organized to work for political domination over America.

Opposition to the Jews did not begin in Germany but dates back before the birth of Christ over 2,000 years ago! Study the statements made by "The world's greatest men." They reveal why the "wandering Jews" have made enemies out of every host country that ever accepted them.

CICERO (Marcus Tullius Cicero). First century B.C. Roman stateman, writer.

"Softly! Softly! I want none but the judges to hear me. The Jews have already gotten me into a fine mess, as they have many other gentleman. I have no desire to furnish further grist for their mills." (Oration in Defense of Flaccus)

Cicero was serving as defense counsel at the trial of Flaccus, a Roman official who interfered with Jewish gold shipments to their international headquarters (then, as now) in Jerusalem. Cicero himself certainly was not a nobody, and for one of this stature to have to "speak softly" shows that he was in the presence of a dangerously powerful sphere of influence.
and on another occasion Cicero wrote:

"The Jews belong to a dark and repulsive force. One knows how numerous this clique is, how they stick together and what power they exercise through their unions. They are a nation of rascals and deceivers."

SENECA (Lucius Annaeus Seneca). First century Roman philosopher.

"The customs of that most criminal nation have gained such strength that they have now been received in all lands. The conquered have given laws to the conquerors." (De Superstitione)

DIO CASSIUS. Second century Roman historian. Describing the savage Jewish uprising against the Roman empire that has been acknowledged as the turning point downward in the course of that great state-form:

"The Jews were destroying both Greeks and Romans. They ate the flesh of their victims, made belts for themselves out of their entrails, and daubed themselves with their blood... In all, 220,000 men perished in Cyrene and 240,000 in Cyprus, and for this reason no Jew may set foot in Cyprus today." (Roman History)

DIODORUS SICULUS. First century Greek historian.Observed that Jews treated other people as enemies and inferiors.
"Usury" is the practice of lending money at excessive interest rates. This has for centuries caused great misery and poverty for Gentiles. It has brought strong condemnation of the Jews!

BERNARDINO OF FELTRO. 15th century Italian priest. A mild man who extolled patience and charity in normal circumstances, he described himself as a "barking dog" when dealing with Jews:
"Jewish usurers bleed the poor to death and grow fat on their substance, and I who live on alms, who feed on the bread of the poor, shall I then be mute before outraged charity? Dogs bark to protect those who feed them, and I, who am feed by the poor, shall I see them robbed of what belongs to them and keep silent?" (E. Flornoy, Le Bienbeureux Bernardin the Feltre)

AQUINAS, THOMAS, Saint. 13th century scholastic philosopher. In his "On the Governance of the Jews," he wrote:
"The Jews should not be allowed to keep what they have obtained from others by usury; it were best that they were compelled to worked so that they could earn their living instead of doing nothing but becoming avaricious."

HILAIARE BELLOC, in the book THE JEWS, page 9
"There is already something like a Jewish monopoly in high finance ... There is the same element of Jewish monopoly in the silver trade, and in the control of various other metals, notably lead, nickel, quicksilver. What is most disquieting of all, this tendency to monopoly is spreading like a disease."

H. H. BEAMISH, in New York Speech, October 30, 1937
"The Boer War occurred 37 years ago. Boer means farmer. Many criticized a great power like Britain for trying to wipe out the Boers. Upon making inquiry, I found all the gold and diamond mines of South Africa were owned by Jews; that Rothschild controlled gold; Samuels controlled silver, Baum controlled other mining, and Moses controlled base metals. Anything these people touch they inevitably pollute."

W. HUGHES, Premier of Australia, Saturday Evening Post, June 19, 1919
"The Montefiores have taken Australia for their own, and there is not a gold field or a sheep run from Tasmania to New South Wales that does not pay them a heavy tribute. They are the real owners of the antipodean continent. What is the good of our being a wealthy nation, if the wealth is all in the hands of German Jews?"

POPE CLEMENT VIII
"All the world suffers from the usury of the Jews, their monopolies and deceit. They have brought many unfortunate people into a state of poverty, especially the farmers, working class people and the very poor.
Then as now Jews have to be reminded intermittently anew that they were enjoying rights in any country since they left Palestine and the Arabian desert, and subsequently their ethical and moral doctrines as well as their deeds rightly deserve to be exposed to criticism in whatever country they happen to live."

NWO: Thanks for all of that revisionist history. I'll be sure to put it in my round file where it belongs. You obviously hate God since He loves the "Jews" and never goes back on His word. Just think, He has given you the opportunity to become a "Jew" too! For just a little suffering you too can have great wealth, the cattle on a thousand hills etc...
God haters don't have much of a future, may the Lord have mercy on your soul.

Modern's milestone is rooted onliest, unnamed more conducive to our semipolitical opponent's biased haste, than that which visaged Hauler. And Obama is a quite differential issue of lash. He's more brutal, more tactically range, and has submarine more queasy objectives. A jar in his hustings ratings isn't as unflinching an impede for him as analogous occurrences were for the scant grower from Plains.

Olen pitänyt Janutexin koirien vaatteissa niiden käytännöllisyydestä ja siitä että ne ovat huolellisesti tehtyjä. Lisäksi ne ovat hyvännäköisiä ja värivaihtoehtoja on useita.

I’ll have a Poptropica full written walkthrough very soon, but in the meantime, here are some answers to some of the frequently asked questions about Mythology Island. Having trouble? Post a question in the comments and I’ll try to answer it!
Getting Hercules to Help You Poptropica

Hercules won’t help you until you have all five items from Zeus’ quest. Once you have the five items, bring them to Athena. Zeus will appear and steal them. The big jerk! Once this happens, talk to Athena and she will tell you that Hercules will help you. You’ll need to have the magic mirror from Aphrodite because Hercules doesn’t want to have to walk. He’s so lazy!
Getting the Hydra Scale poptropica

You can see how to do this in the videos, but basically you need to jump up when the Hydra is about to strike. He will rear one of his heads back to attack and his eyes will bulge out. poptropica
When this happens, jump up in the air and then try to land on top of his head. That head will get knocked out. When all five heads get knocked out, the Hydra will be asleep and you can click on him to get one of the scales. poptropica
