In a shocking development in the Operation Fast and Furious investigation, documents show Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents allowed grenade parts to walk into Mexico in addition to guns.

The emails also show Obama administration officials acknowledging that they may lose track of grenades but would still be able to accomplish their original objective even if the grenades explode.

“Even in a post blast, as long as the safety lever is recovered we will be able to identify these tagged grenades,” an official wrote in one email.

According to an internal email that was provided to Congress by the Department of Justice and first reported by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson — who’s been the media’s most dogged reporter in tracking down facts on Fast and Furious – ATF began watching accused smuggler Jean Baptiste Kingery’s AK-47 purchases in 2004. In the 2009 internal ATF email, Obama administration officials admitted they believed Kingery was “trafficking them into Mexico.”

The 2009 email shows the ATF officials had then become aware of Kingery’s alleged grenade trafficking....

In an astonishing bit of unexpected news, a senior State Department official has announced, “The war on terror is over.” This stems from the idea, reports the National Journal, that, “it is no longer the case, in other words, that every Islamist is seen as a potential accessory to terrorists.”

That same official continues, “Now that we have killed most of al Qaida, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into al Qaida see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism.”

This is great news, isn’t it? If the “War on Terror” is over, then we can repeal and reverse all the ridiculous police state laws that were put in place to protect us from terrorism… right?

I mean, can we now fire the TSA? They were only put in place after the “terror” attacks on 9/11. If the war on terror is over, the TSA is no longer needed (even if you assume they were effective at all, which they weren’t).

Can we now repeal the Patriot Act which was passed out of an urgency to defend America from terrorists?...

“In a nutshell, it’s the blueprint for Peacetime Martial Law and it gives the president the power to take just about anything deemed necessary for “National Defense”, whatever they decide that is.” (The Intel Hub)

While millions of people have been preparing for the possibility of a catastrophic event by relocating to rural homesteads or farms, as well as stockpiling food, water, personal defense armaments and other essential supplies with the intention of utilizing these preparations if the worst happens, the latest executive order signed by President Obama on March 16, 2012 makes clear that in the event of a nationally deemed emergency all of these resources will fall under the authority of the United States government.

Hayden’s Counterpoint:

While I find this EO to be interesting, and most certainly enjoy the work of Activist Post, Intel Hub, and SHTF Plan, I must agree with Doug Mataconis on this matter:

It all sounds pretty scary, and it wasn’t long before the usual suspects were citing this as evidence of some kind of plan for martial law, just as there were people on the left and far-right in asserting that George Bush was going to declare martial law and cancel the elections in 2004 and 2008.

It is estimated that over 400 US troops marched in formation to the White House in order to show solidarity and support for Presidential Candidate Ron Paul.  The formation then turned its back on the White House and held a salute for as many seconds as there has been military suicides under President Obama.

When it comes to campaign donations, Ron Paul receives more donations from the military than all other Republican candidates combined.

The march, Veterans for Ron Paul, was organized by former Marine veterans Adam Kokesh and Nathan Cox.

While on vacation in Hawaii (again?), Obama tapped Jerome Powell to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Powel served as the undersecretary for finance under President George H. W. Bush and was a partner of The Carlyle Group.  The Carlyle Group is a massive private equity firm and one of the largest defense contractors in the world.

They’re made up of some of the most influential policymakers over the last five administrations including both Bush presidents, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, and former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to name a few.

Hayden’s Note:

Frank Carlucci, former Sec. of Defense, was also on the Board of Directors for Westinghouse and CBS, where he controlled a massive source of media, nuclear power plants, electric companies, and can sway public opinion.  Now he’s a top dog at the Federal Reserve.  Wonderful.  Here’s a brief rundown of CBS, from my article, Breakdown of Where Your News Comes From:

It is becoming increasingly clear that the people who are taking part in the much publicized Occupy Wall Street protests are mostly a bunch of useful idiots promoting communist and socialist ideologies.  Even multi-millionaire propagandist Michael Moore and a myriad of rich Hollywood celebrities have come out supporting the cause of these protests indicating that the establishment has an interest in steering the direction and outcome of what is taking place.  This is one of the most obvious cases of controlled opposition that we have ever seen where the protesters are actually endorsing the collectivist ideologies that benefit the wealthy elite.  Communist and socialist ideolgies when put into practice have historically done nothing but centralize power and wealth in the hands of a few people as seen in the cases of the Soviet Union and China in the 20th century.

Most of these useful idiots protesters know absolutely nothing about how the global financial system works and know less than nothing about the central banking systems of the world.  Central banks like the Federal Reserve System and the European Central Bank have been setup by design to implement a debt based monetary system that has been used to turn the vast majority of people into debt slaves.  They create money out of nothing and then charge interest on top of the money they create out of nothing through loans.  Even the United States government borrows money from this system and because of that they have to implement draconian tax schemes on the people just so they can pay back the interest on the debt. 

What’s ironic about this whole situation is that a central banking system is in fact a major plank of the Communist Manifesto as is a graduated income tax both of which have been fully implemented in the United States for almost 100 years now.  With this in mind you would think that these Communist protesters would have nothing to protest because the ideologies which they claim to be in support of have actually been in use for a very long time.  Unfortunately because these people are so ignorant and stupid they have no idea that the ideologies they are promoting are the very cause of the problems they are suffering from....

Falling Flat on its Face

Like the U.S. Treasury, President Obama’s recent jobs proposal is bankrupt.  Quite frankly, we weren’t counting on much.  But that doesn’t mean we still weren’t disappointed by its burdensome emptiness.

The most remarkable thing about the President’s latest jobs creation plan has nothing to do with the actual substance – or lack thereof – included in the initiative.  To the contrary, it’s the idea behind it that’s most noteworthy.  In short, the President actually believes the government can use borrowed money to stimulate the economy. 
If this were true, the trillions of dollars already spent would have produced an epic boom and job creation renaissance.  By this point in the recovery, unemployment would be down and opportunities would be abundant.  Obviously, none of these things have taken place.  Instead, according to a recent Bloomberg National Poll, only 9 percent of the population is confident the economy won’t slide back into recession.

The government, as we’ve seen, is extraordinarily capable of spending boat loads of borrowed money.  Yet there’s no documented proof or empirical evidence that supports the notion that this can grow the economy.  Moreover, simple logic shows it actually shrinks the economy. 

When the heavy hand of government directs borrowed money into activities it favors, it diverts money from the private sector and starves the economy of capital.  What’s more, the activities the government favors, like bridge building and school construction, don’t add productive self-supporting jobs to the economy.  So when the money runs out the economy falls flat on its face....

We have all watched in predicted horror as the financial infrastructure of America has been disassembled in a predetermined fashion by the likes of Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve and other Globalists.  There are a variety of reasons why this is happening, none of which we have the power to change or alter in time to save us.  Therefore, I will focus on what is to come and how we might handle it in order to survive it.

With the Federal Reserve actually suggesting that inflation might be the cure to the weak economy, massive unemployment numbers and a crashing dollar, one has to stop and ponder.  The chairman of the Fed, Ben Bernanke, was a child prodigy, scored a near perfect SAT score, focused his studies around the Great Depression and is a statistical genius.  So why is he so willing to abuse the Dollar and essentially sign the death warrant for America?

For several years, many prominent people have been predicting this exact scenario.  Gerald Celente, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff and others including the Web Bots Project, have detailed how this orchestrated financial implosion will occur.  Many of these “predictions” or trends analysis are from late 2009 or early 2010.  Most, if not all, are eerily starting to come true....

The President of the United States: “So, when Congress gets back in September, I want to move quickly on things that will help the economy create jobs right now. Extending the payroll tax credit to put a thousand dollars in the pocket of the average American worker. Extending unemployment insurance to help people get back on their feet. Putting construction workers back to work rebuilding America.

“Those are all steps we can take right now that will make a difference and there is no contradiction between us taking some steps to put people to work right now and getting our long-term fiscal house in order. In fact, the more we grow the easier it will be to reduce our deficits.”

Hayden’s Note:

Actually, there IS a contradiction in what you call “putting people to work right now” and getting our long-term fiscal house in order.  And it’s called “Endless Entitlement Programs.”  A brief unemployment benefit is fine with me.  A short-lived welfare assistance check is understandable.  But giving more and more of this Monopoly money away while claiming to be getting our finances in order is the very definition of contradiction, idiot.  So was the “debt compromise.”  You can’t spend $2.4 trillion more dollars while “cutting” $2.4 trillion over the next ten years.  What if the next Congress says, “No.”  We increase our spending year by year, so by 2021, $2.4 trillion will be chump change anyway.  And that’s if we LAST that long as a debtor nation....

First a note on the use of hyperbole: People often think I’m using hyperbole when I talk about “financial terrorism,” our descent into “neo-feudalism,” the “two-Party oligarchy,” our confirmed “banana republic” status or the fact that President Obama is a “bankster puppet.” I’m aware that most people will think I’m being overly extreme, but in these extreme times, all these terms are technical descriptions of our unfortunate political reality. Career wise, I would be better off, over the short-term, if I censored this harsh reality and used more delicate language, but I’m not interested in making a career out of this, or being accepted into some status quo supporting groupthink organization. I’m here to sound the alarm. So I have much respect for people who are also speaking bold truth to power, whatever the consequences may be. Fortunately, more people are starting to speak up.

Hayden’s Note:

Allow me to add: This entire “debt default” nonsense is very much the same thing.  It’s just a giant game of political wrangling.  We’re not going to default.  As a country, we bring in over $2.5 trillion per year.  We spend roughly $3.8 trillion and our interest payments are around one half billion dollars.  We can pay our debts just fine – what we can’t pay for is all of this future entitlement nonsense and continue to spend beyond our means.  It’s like a shopaholic spending $80,000 on her credit card while living on a McDonald’s salary.  Freeze spending, cut out excess government regulation and offices, promote small business and investments, savings and stop offering so much corporate/ultra-rich welfare, along with the insane amount of low-class welfare that’s doled out.  People young and old, rich and poor alike need to step up and do the right thing instead of holding out their hand, asking for more.  By doing so, you are empowering the false Left vs....

The US House of Representatives voted to prohibit the use of funds for American military operations in Libya.

Lawmakers adopted the amendment to a military appropriations bill by a vote of 248 to 163.

A number of members of Congress have recently expressed their dissatisfaction at President Barack Obama’s decision to go ahead with operations in Libya in March and to continue without congressional authorization. 

The amendment, introduced by Democratic representative Brad Sherman from California, invokes the War Powers Resolution, a 1973 law that limits presidential powers on sending troops abroad into combat zones without the consent of Congress.

Sherman’s text states that “none of the funds made available by this act may be used in contravention of the War Powers Act.”

According to the War Powers Resolution, the president must seek congressional authorization to send US troops into combat and must withdraw American forces within 60 days if Congress has not authorized the military action.

The same measure was presented in another bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security but failed to pass on June 2....

Truly, a lot is happening. As Spring became Summer, America has legislated its way into a full-blown terrorist state. The currency is totally debauched. The US cannot borrow any more from its loan-sharking creditors, and is faced with austerity. Like surgeons, central economic planners are calibrating inflation all over the world to provoke reaction and harness the emotion produced from reaction. America’s debt limit has been reached, causing Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner to extend the final date of come-uppance to August 2, by raiding federal pensions.

In a sensational and explosive TV report, the Pakistani News Agency has provided a live interview with an eye witness to the US attack on the alleged compound of Osama bin Laden. The eye witness, Mohammad Bashir, describes the event as it unfolded. Of the three helicopters, “there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them up, but as he [the helicopter] was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire.” The witness says that there were no survivors, just dead bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. “We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing.”

I always wondered how a helicopter could crash, as the White House reported, without at least producing injuries. Yet, in the original White House story, the SEALs not only survived a 40-minute firefight with al Qaeda, “the most highly trained, most dangerous, most vicious killers on the planet,” without a scratch, but also survived a helicopter crash without a scratch....

From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion.”

At the recent White House Correspondents Dinner, President Barack Obama was introduced with a short video comprised of Hulk Hogan’s theme song (I am a Real American!), the American flag waving, bald eagles soaring and a large, flashing birth certificate.  Thanks, President.  Real professional of you.

This comes on the same day that President Obama announced that the US military had finally killed the elusive boogey-man, Osama bin Laden.

But… I thought he was already having kidney problems in 2002 and living out his years in the Bora Bora caves with his merry band of terrorists?  Oh, wait.  He was on dialysis – which requires hospitalization and medical care at times.  So, he couldn’t have been in the mountains.

I also clearly recall bin Laden offering up threats of terrorism over global warming recently.  Maybe he’s been hiding at Al Gore’s house?  It’s certainly big enough to get lost in.  That would be an inconvenient truth if I had ever heard one.

Obama is set to announce leadership changes in his Administration. According to anonymous officials Afghan commanding general David Petraeus will move to the CIA and current CIA Director Leon Panetta will take the helm at the Pentagon.

Since current Pentagon chief Department of Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced he would be leaving his post, many have speculated on who might replace him. At one point in time Petraeus was often mentioned as a top pick.

The White House however has decided to replace Roberts with Panetta and move Petraeus from Afghanistan and the military to the CIA. Replacing Petraeus will be Lieutenant General John Allen, who once commanded troops in Iraq. Allen is currently the deputy commander of US Central Command. (US CENTCOM)

The shift puts a loyal Obama ally, Panetta, in charge of the Pentagon and places a man with strong bipartisan approval at the helm of the CIA.

The official change over in titles and duties is expected to occur over the summer.

Is this the sort of ‘Hope & Change’ we were led to believe in?  I never was an Obama supporter, but I wasn’t a Bush fan, either.  The tango-foot-shuffle that’s going on is merely cosmetic.  It’s a different face on the same war machine.  And it further militarizes our CIA – who is already a defacto front-line military force with a remote controlled Predator Air Force at it’s disposal....

In a conversation about alleged WikiLeaks leaker PFC. Bradley Manning, US President Barack Obama commented, saying, “He broke the law.”

The words from Obama’s mouth come as Manning is held in prison awaiting further charges and a military trial. Manning has entered no official plea and no court proceedings have begun. Yet, the US president dubbed him guilty of breaking the law.

Many argue no truly fair or impartial trial is even possible at this point. Some hold there would never be a fair trial since the media had already convicted manning in the court of public opinion. Now that the Military’s commander and chief has spoke on the matter is even more unlikely the military trial will be fair and impartial.

Military officers on a potential jury now know that their commander and chief believes Manning to be guilty. To find otherwise would amount to undermining his view.

When presidents are writing editorials in newspapers a hard-sell is just around the corner. Judging by the recent tripartite op-ed in the New York Times by Obama, Sarkozy, and Cameron regarding Libya, the hard-sell is most likely a protracted air campaign above Libya with an ever increasing ground presence below possibly leading to an all out invasion. Clearly the operation in Libya will exceed the “days or weeks, but not months” we were told it would take.

Predictably the UNSC r.1973 mandate of “protecting civilians” has “mission crept” into providing air cover for armed militants as they fight towards Tripoli – militants now openly proclaiming their allegiance to Al Qaeda. The CIA and MI6 are also admittedly on the ground assisting the rebels and attempting to bring down Qaddafi’s regime – violating entirely the contrived UNSC r.1973 that defined the intervention in the first place. Further violations come in the form of US calls to arm the rebels and allowing arms to flow into eastern Libya from Egypt....

Blowing Smoke: Obama Is Morally High

On his second day in office Obama promised to close the Guantanamo Bay “detention” center (if it was called a prison camp it would connote that the inmates are prisoners, and prisoners are entitled to rights, detainees aren’t).  Guantanamo remains open for business and continues to be a national embarrassment to this day.

Promising to return America to the “moral high ground” in the war on terror Obama continues to miserably renege on virtually all of his promises.  He voted for the extension of the Patriot Act, expanded the wars in Afghanistan and now into Pakistan, and the list goes on and on.  If that wasn’t bad enough, Obama recently launched an air war against Libya, completely bypassing Congress.  Obama’s moral high ground also means allowing tortured persons to be tried in a military tribunal without habeas corpus. 

(c) The individuals currently detained at Guantánamo have the constitutional privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Most of those individuals have filed petitions for a writ of habeas corpus in Federal court challenging the lawfulness of their detention…The detention facilities at Guantánamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed as soon as practicable, and no later than 1 year from the date of this order…    January 22, 2009.

It’s one thing to say that the U.S. is right to take action against Moammar Gadhafi. It’s quite another to insist that it’s not even a war. And it’s simply dishonest to do so while escalating the war.

But that’s the spin from the Obama White House. While the president travelled through Latin America, his aides told sympathetic audiences in Washington that Operation Odyssey Dawn “is a limited humanitarian intervention, not war,” in the words of White House Mideast troubleshooter Dennis Ross. A letter to Congress notifying lawmakers that Odyssey Dawn was in effect studiously avoided the word “war,” preferring the more anodyne “military efforts” — which are “discrete” and “limited in their nature, duration, and scope.”

Ross’ remarks are outright deceptive. And it fits a pattern with President Obama: escalating U.S. military commitments while portraying them as essentially finite and limited.

An Ecuadorian court has ordered Chevron to pay $8.6 billion in reparations to the victims of oil pollution in a remote rainforest. Chevron refuses to pay and New York has preemptively blocked any financial judgment against the company.

UPDATE: March 7th, 2011

In a New York courtroom today, oil giant Chevron Corp. won a halt to enforcement of an $18 billion judgment for oil pollution of the Ecuadorian Amazon imposed by a court in Ecuador. Granting Chevron’s request for a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled in Manhattan that Chevron faced “imminent” and “irreparable” harm to its reputation and business relationships.

The legal dispute has gone on for 17-years. Amazonian villagers and Chevron have been at odds in the Ecuadorian courts, only to be blocked by Judge Lewis Kaplan in the United States.

The US judge has ordered that no financial judgment against Chevron may collect Chevron’s assets because it might interfere with the company’s daily workflow and impact the global economy.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says his party has been emboldened by massive protests against his controversial budget plan.  Walker said demonstrators who filled the state capitol building in Madison and the boycott by state Senate Democrats — some of whom fled the state in protest — have steeled the resolve of members of his party.

“If anything, I think it’s made the Republicans in the Assembly and the Senate stronger,” he told Fox News’s Greta Van Susteren in an interview Thursday night. “They’re not going to be bullied. They’re not going to be intimidated.” 

Walker also fired back at President Obama, who sided with the public employees, saying on Fox News Friday, “We are focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the government and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budgets, which they are a long way off from doing.”

Public-sector workers are upset with the plan, which calls on them to pay to receive pension and health benefits and removes collective bargaining rights for some.

I thought cutting budgets, getting the deficit in check and doing what needs to be done to save the state and country was a good thing…?  It’s tough and brutal, but if we don’t, there won’t be a government to protest.  There won’t be any unions.  Do they not understand this?  I support Governor Walker’s statement directed at Obama and Washington.  It’s none of the White House’s business what happens in Wisconsin.  Remember the 10th Amendment?  State’s Rights?  Antagonizing the protesters with Hope and Change is the same thing Hillary is doing with the Egyptians and Iranians; encouraging them to protest while condemning, arresting and beating Americans who stand in defiance of them....

Cass Sunstein, President Obama’s appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated “cognitive infiltration” of groups that advocate “conspiracy theories,” such as the ones surrounding 9/11.

A Harvard law professor at the time, Sunstein co-wrote an academic article entitled “Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures,” in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine” those groups.

As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs,” according to the White House Web site.

Sunstein suggests that people who believe in conspiracy theories have a limited number of sources of information that they go to and trust. Therefore, Sunstein argued in the article, it would not work to simply refute the conspiracy theories in public — the very sources that conspiracy theorists believe would have to be infiltrated.  An admired and trusted “spokesman” or leader would need to be created or compromised....

Thanks to congressional inaction, NASA must continue to fund its defunct Ares I rocket program until March — a requirement that will cost the agency nearly $500 million at a time when NASA is struggling with the expensive task of replacing the space shuttle.

About one-third that money — $165 million — will go to Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, which has a $2 billion contract to build the solid-rocket first stage for the Ares I, the rocket that was supposed to fill the shuttle’s role of transporting astronauts to the International Space Station.

But under a new NASA plan signed into law by President Barack Obama in October, there’s no guarantee that the new rocket required by that plan will use solid-fuel propulsion. And, in fact, many in the agency say a liquid-fueled rocket would be cheaper, more powerful — and safer.

The money to ATK is part of the $1.2 billion NASA will spend on its canceled Constellation program from Oct. 1 through March. Most of the rest will go to Lockheed Martin, which is building the Orion capsule intended to take astronauts into space aboard whatever rocket NASA selects....

First, President Obama becomes Bush in all but name with respect to his predecessor’s economic policies, and now he follows by espousing Bush’s interpretation of “civil rights” as well. According to Pro Publica, the White House is preparing an Executive Order for indefinite detention. And while the premise behind a comparable draft has been circulating around for 18 months, the uptake was seen as problematic. The “humanitarian” premise behind the order is that it will “provide for the periodic reviews of evidence against dozens of prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay… and allow for the possibility that detainees from countries like Yemen might be released if circumstances change.” That’s the theory. The “practice” is that the Order will, as the name implies, afford the administration the option of “indefinite detention as a long-term Obama administration policy and makes clear that the White House alone will manage a review process for those it chooses to hold without charge or trial.”

In other words all those, and we assume that the Order is not merely targeting those involved in September 11, and is wider in its scope, who are perceived by the administration as “high value detainees” will be denied due process, and will be held in captivity essentially indefinitely with no legal recourse, for as long as the “review process” so deems fit....
