Is An Asteroid Collision Inevitable?

 

 

NEAs and PHAs

Space photography has recent advances showing shocking information. "Our team was surprised to find the overabundance of low-inclination PHAs," (Amy Mainzer/NASA/Jet Propulsion Lab). In other words, some asteroids are making closer approaches to earth than once thought. Mainzer, leader of the WISE asteroid-hunting mission, has used the NEOWISE project for all asteroid predictions.

Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) orbits are closest to earth's orbit. Some NEAs' orbits intersect earth's, and a future collision with earth may exist. Thousands of NEAs exist. Estimates of kilometer-size asteroids are (+/-) 2000. [largest: 1036 Ganymed, at 32km.]

NASA has studied Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) more carefully. PHAs have the worst collision classification. Many were photographed, and 1364 have been found to date with NASA's Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope [launched 12/09]. PHAs are >100m across, and dangerously aligned with the earth's orbit.

 

Asteroid Payload Capability

An asteroid one-half the size of these spotted could deliver the payload equivalent of a 3-megaton nuclear bomb, enough to "produce severe environmental damage on a global scale,"  CNN reported.

A recent survey says as many as 6,200 PHAs are orbiting close to earth. Because of their size, PHAs will survive the passage through earth's atmosphere.

From Lindley Johnson (Program Scientist/NEOs): "The NEOWISE analysis shows us we've made a good start at finding those objects that truly represent an impact hazard to earth. But we've many more to find, and it will take a concerted effort during the next couple of decades to find all of them that could do serious damage or be a mission destination in the future."

Unfortunately, NASA estimates only 20-30% of these objects have been charted. Where exactly, are those 70-80% of PHA's known to exist? With space being so large, NASA downplays chances of earth impact.

 

Other Orbit Changers

However, NASA does not discuss 'other forces' which may affect the orbit of any asteroid.

In 1902, Ivan Yarkovsky wrote the solar heating of an object in space would cause it to experience a tiny force, leading to large long-term effects in the orbits of asteroids. The Yarkovsky effect, can turn many asteroids into sun-guided missiles targeting earth.

The Yarkovsky-O'Keefe-Radzievskii-Paddack effect [YORP] is a second-order variation on the Yarkovsky effect, which can also change an asteroid's orbit.

The Poynting-Robertson effect is when solar radiation causes an asteroid to slowly spiral into the sun, and possibly change its orbit pattern towards earth.

On 5/24/12, Steven Chesley (NASA-asteroid sample return mission OSIRIS-REx), admitted asteroid 1999 RQ36 passed much closer to earth than predicted. He showed how it deviated from its gravity-ruled orbit by 100 miles (160 km) in the last 12 years, due to the Yarkovsky effect.

Asteroid [1950 DA] has a known Yarkovsky effect (15,000 km /last 100 years). Models show a possible collision in 2880.

Other orbit-changers include close 'flybys' to other celestial bodies (e.g., planets, moons, and other asteroids). This occurs more often than mentioned.

 

Jupiter's Past

Most remember comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 [21 fragments] slashing into the Jovian atmosphere in 1994. If Jupiter's gravity was not present, the probability of asteroid impacts on the inner planets would be greater.

Asteroids [1999 RQ36], [2012 TC4], [1950 DA], [2012 DA4], [2012 EO88], [1997 XF11], [2011 AG5] (Apophis), and many others, are scheduled to collide, or come dangerously close, to earth in the near future. If Apophis misses in 2026, it'll swoop by for another pass in 2028, 2034, and 2036. In fact, all PHAs will orbit back around for many, many more passes.

Astronomers know Apophis is 1066ft (325m) wide. That's 20% larger than the previous estimate of 885ft. That 20% diameter increase (from 270m to 325m) translates into a 75% increase in estimates of volume/mass, and means a slight orbit change.

 

Real Asteroid Universe

In the Asteroid Discovery Animation (Scott Manley), one gets an idea of how asteroid detection over the last 30 years has improved. From this 3 minute documentary, one gets a sense of the actual number of asteroids.

Green points mark asteroids not expected to approach earth immediately. Over 300 known yellow objects are earth approaching asteroids. Red points are PHAs that cross earth's orbit. It is estimated 100,000-1,000,000 undiscovered asteroids are on similar earth-crossing orbits. The Increasing Rate of Asteroid Discovery shows the stark increase in discovered asteroids in just thirty years.

God has been quoted {Matt 24:36}: "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.", concerning man's outcome during the possible "end-of-the-world" scenario. However, it's not known whether He mentioned the "how".

Thinkers are Different Than Emotionalists on Gun Proliferation

Historical Distinction

One can make an early historical distinction between the 'Tories' and the 'Freedom Fighters'. The Tories were those early settlers upholding the British Crown, against the supporters of colonial independence during the American Revolution. Tories refused a new constitution.

Emotionalists did not want to 'rock the boat', and portray British injustice. After the Revolutionary War, most Tories settled in Canada, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. Thinkers knew firearms were the answer.

Sandy Hook

Guns have come under high scrutiny after the recent shooting deaths of 26 people-20 of which were children at Sandy Hook. Most don't realize the 27 Amendments to the Constitution (1789) were written in a priority status. The first 10 [Bill of Rights] were the most important, and the "Right to Bear Arms" was the 2nd Amendment, enumerated in that most important Bill of Rights.

After the Newtown disaster, Dr. Miguel A. Faria: Mass Shootings and Mental Health - At What Cost ..., portrays an accurate description of Adam Lanza's rampage on helpless students in Connecticut. As a Clinical Professor/Surgery (Mercer School of Medicine), Faria understands how the media has turned criminals into morbid celebrities with 'fifteen minutes of fame'. Television news usually goes by the mantra: 'if it bleeds, it leads'.

As Michele Malkin (GOPUSA) put it: "The Newtown gunman [Lanza] was a monster who slaughtered his own mother, five heroic educators and 20 angel-faced schoolchildren." Do you think any of those parents of those 20 children murdered in cold blood, would have been OK if a 'packing' teacher could have stopped Lanza before he killed their child?

Faria cites 20,000 existing gun laws that aren't working. Emotionalists do not view guns as the inanimate objects that they are. It's the criminals who operate them-who kill indiscriminately. But it's rarely reported when someone with a gun stops a crazed shooter from killing countless others.

Thinkers Vs Emotionalists

Already, most US states have "zero tolerance" for guns in schools. That means teachers, principles, and assistant principles are strictly prohibited from carrying guns at school.

Thinkers already know the answer to school shootings. Emotionalists believe the answer is simply to remove the guns. Currently 300 million privately held firearms are owned by law-abiding Americans. Criminals have broken laws to obtain them, and will break laws to use them.

Thinkers understand even 5% of faculty population allowed to 'carry' on campus, provides a severe damper to the would-be killer. First, a potential shooter will realize he rarely can kill all his intended targets, and fulfill his dream as a martyr. Second, and most importantly, the shooter will have second thoughts about his killing spree, and will put off, or wait, for a more opportune moment.

 

Mobbing the Tories - Project Gutenberg eText 16960.jpg

 
As New York Daily News writes, Lanza was... "dark and disturbed, a deeply troubled boy". They understood Lanza had a particularly troubled mental state. They indicated it was highly likely to be Asperger's Syndrome, or case of criminal insanity.

After Newtown, Mike Rogers (NY Rep) told the New York Times: "What is the more realistic discussion is how do we target people with mental illness who use firearms?"

According to Dr. David Healy (British psychiatrist), over 90% of school shootings over the last decade are linked to a highly prescribed antidepressant (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor/SSRI). This statistic comes directly from RxISK(prescription drug website).

Healy reiterated, "psychotropic drugs of pretty well any group can trigger violence up to and including homicide. ...advocates of treatment claim both that it is the illness and not the drugs that causes violence and that we are leaving huge numbers of people untreated."

Dr. Peter R. Breggin, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist (Consultant/National Institute of Mental Health), said it's likely Lanza's problems began with "getting tangled up" with psychiatric medicine. Breggin insisted there is decades of overwhelming scientific evidence correlating psychiatrically prescribed drugs with violence.

Writing in Ethical Human Sciences, Breggin concluded SSRI drugs could be a factor in suicide, violence and other forms of extreme abnormal behavior-all documented in case reports, controlled clinical trials, and epidemiological studies.

Emotionalists-those making emotional decisions-are prevalent today in those with fear of guns. It's hoped the 'yard arm' solution of pre-revolutionary times will not be necessary for their mode of thinking.

The 2nd Amendment gives Americans the 'Right to Bear Arms', for self-defense, and to preserve a free society. All Founders recognized this. Today's logic is even more relevant:

 

"The strongest reason for people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government." Thomas Jefferson

"The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state shall not be questioned." James Madison

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence." George Washington

"The great object is, that every man be armed." Patrick Henry

"And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to...prevent the people... from keeping their own arms..." Samuel Adams

"[A]rms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them." Thomas Paine

"If the Second Amendment is read to confer a personal right to 'keep and bear arms,' a colorable argument exists that the Federal Government's regulatory scheme, at least as it pertains to possession of firearms, runs afoul of that amendment's protections" (US vs Printz) Clarence Thomas

Freefall of Spermatogenesis Eliminating Population

Fallacy of Overpopulation

Overpopulation is a myth |explains exactly how perceived overpopulation is a complete fallacy. Soon, we’ll be hearing about reproductive problems we’ve never heard about before. Rules will be changed concerning who, and who is not, able to make babies. Better make room for spermatogenesis.

But as , just to have a stable (neither decreasing nor growing) population, each woman must have at least 2.1 offspring. But unknown to most, the biggest culprit is declining sperm production by men.

There’s a myriad of reasons for declining population—abortion, sterilization, euthanasia, birth control, same-sex marriage, etc…   Nothing about falling sperm count. Recently there were numerous warnings from the Journal Of Human Reproduction. Sperm count has dropped drastically over the last 50 years (almost 2%/yr). For the last 17 yrs, the Journal said normally-formed sperm decreased more than 33%.

 

Sperm Count Falling Rapidly

With dropping sperm count, we also heard from the European Science Foundation. They recently issued a report saying 20% of men are considered “subfertile”, with sperm counts and quality dropping consistently.            

Almost all organizations who monitor sperm counts admit they’re not only falling, but falling rapidly. They also admit they see nothing to slow that fall.

Sperm production (spermatogenesis) starts in adolescence. If falling sperm production continues, baby-making ability will be almost extinct in 50 years. Already, according to the UNdata | record view | Total fertility rate (children per woman), the approach to the minimum rate [2.1 children/woman] has dramatically slowed population growth.

 

UN Data Unbiased

If one closely looks at declining world population growth (UN graphs above), zero growth mathematically occurs in 2040. The shocking part is the UN will not admit this. UNData will say no one knows ‘what’ will happen in 30 years. But all one has to do, is look at the numbers, the trends, and graph line direction. Proper extrapolation tells all.

All accrued evidence indicates exactly where we’re going. As knowledge has progressed, current research shows 40% of reproductive problems are due to male infertility.

 

Estrogen Intimately Involved

And at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Rex Hess (Professor/3 collaborative studies for 7 years/ Nature), knows estrogen is necessary for male fertility. In this case, specifically for sperm count. "We can now say that this female hormone is intimately involved in regulating fertility in the male, because if you block the estrogen receptor's function as we've shown here, you will have infertility.”

Hess emphasizes this discovery [declining sperm counts worldwide] means "we must be concerned about the potential for environmental chemicals to influence male reproductive function. Until now, there has been no known function for estrogen in the male.”

Richard Sharpe (Reproductive Health/University of Edinburgh/Expert, Environmental Toxins) said the study was "hugely impressive". He answered skeptics on the reality of the global decline. Even though a definitive reason for sperm decline is not known, he admits science says the likeliest factors are environmental chemical exposures (estrogen), and a high-fat diet.

 

Estrogen In The Water

It’s known estrogen--and its many variations--have a major role in male fertility. Virtually all water supplies are now polluted with drug residues ‘peed’ out by people. Because of the inability of most treatment facilities to destroy all estrogen physically discharged by those taking daily birth control pills, and other estrogen mimickers, we likely won’t see a decrease in clean estrogen-free water anytime soon.         

Unfortunately, water is ingested through the mouth, as well as chemical absorption in baths, showers, and other water immersion.

Gary Halbert (InvestorsInsight) repeats a fertility rate needed to just maintain population (2.1 children/woman of child-bearing age). According to multiple studies, the US fertility rate is now only 1.9 children, and falling.

Even though the US birth rate has always declined during periods of recession, Halbert sees this fertility rate falling faster recently. Today’s falling fertility rate duplicates what happened during past recessions, which increased again upon economic recovery. But NOT this time.

 

There Is A Reason

In comparison, >90% of sperm of a domestic bull, or even laboratory rat, are normal. Almost no reduction in sperm count. As far as most know, no bull, rat, nor animal has ever taken any birth control.

One should seriously think about the impending meaning of this data.

Of course, if we’re uncaring about the plight of humanity after our death, or what our offspring’s plans may be, all of this is just moot.

What Happens When the Cliff is Reached?

What Fiscal Cliff?

The "fiscal cliff" that is worried about is the impending overall tax increase for every American. But you'll really see a fast downward spiral, and it's already taken the dive. The jump started when Obama first took office. Obama wants tax increases for the rich, including increases coming from tax rates jumping up after 1/1/2013, when the Bush rates expire.

Per Walter Williams: Future Generations (George Washington University), a conservative estimate of this administration's unfunded liabilities (FY 2011) is $87 trillion. That exceeds 500% of our GDP (2011) of $15 trillion.

 

The Real Debt

One needs to read "Why $16 Trillion Only Hints at the True US Debt" (WSJ/ 11/26/12). In that column, it's clear even $8 trillion in annual tax collections, wouldn't be enough to keep from going deeper in debt.

It's projected in 2016 the total debt will be $22 trillion. If one checks Obama's spending habits closely, the deficit is increasing (perilously)--not decreasing. By viewing the U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time, one can physically see our debt increasing every minute, to the unbelieving view of $1.8 billion/dy, or $650 billion/yr.

 

Taxing Rich Worsens Things

Why is it so many Americans buy Obama's demagoguery our problems can be solved by taxing the rich?

Thomas Sowell(Senior Fellow/ Hoover Institution/ Stanford University) has described the content of Investor's Business Daily, and the President's Economic Report. The Report's statistics (p. 411) obviously show Obama's flaws in debt calculations. Both reveal tax revenues went up when Bush cut tax rates, with the deficit declining in subsequent years. Obama actually blamed these actions for increasing the deficit.

 

Past Tax Revenue History

One can check all the way back to the Coolidge administration. Tax revenues always went up with decreasing tax rates. Even though tax cuts are not a panacea, they've worked almost every time they've been tried.

Democrats Woodrow Wilson and John Kennedy, and Republicans Calvin Coolidge, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush also had tax cuts in their budgets. As a result, they all increased tax revenues.

Bush tax cuts actually narrowed the budget gap, as can be seen in the White House Data Debunk Myth Bush Cuts Built Deficit - Investors.com. Obama continues to insist the Bush tax cuts caused the recession and record deficits, but not his own economists. Data in the above [Investors.com] link gives the truth.

 

No Debt Limit

David Harsanyi (Human Events) knows Obama's biggest agenda item is tax hikes on the wealthy and small businesses. Now, he desperately wants unlimited authority increasing the debt limit. He believes a cap is a "bad strategy". It's known any "savings" documented by Obama already existed from reducing forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) defines debt as a share of GDP. They say it will soon exceed 100%, and by 2035 will exceed 200%.

US potential unfunded liabilities--all the entitlements promised by the government, without money to pay for them--are estimated to be $87-$100 trillion. That's not including Obamacare unseen costs.

 

Alleged "Mandate"

Obama is convinced of a 'mandate' by his fraud-assisted election win. He believes he now holds all the cards, without needing to compromise at all. He wants a larger government, and no cap on spending.

If the Republicans refuse to compromise, the alleged 'cliff' will appear 1/1/13 when tax rates will rise. If there's no compromise, Obama's economy will continue spiraling downward at an even faster pace. With a bipartisan compromise, Obama will still blame a bad economy (and it will be very bad) on the Republicans.

That's why is better to refuse anything Obama wants. He made this economy. Everybody has to know he will own it. He'll have to live with it himself.

It'll be interesting watching Obama playing 'chicken' on a non-existent cliff.

Obvious Voter Fraud Spawned by "Consent Decree"

Obama Election Cannot Be Official

Unproven yet, but the conclusion is inevitable. Obama likely lost the election. The Obama campaign willingly, or unknowingly, foisted the worst case of voter fraud in US history. Obama, being the recipient of the results, either had full knowledge of the planned results, or refused to acknowledge what happened during the election.

The President of the United States cannot be properly elected by fraud. It seems a far cry from the US efforts to have a democratic election after the overthrow of Hussein.

 

Fraud Turning up Everywhere

It's Official: Obama Voter Fraud Reason for “Reelection”/growing ... resentment is mounting. By each listed link in the previous example, fraud was undoubtedly committed.

The question—even with the fraud--was Obama still the victor? The known discrepancies gave 5–10% of the vote in ‘swing’ states, from Romney to Obama. If one checks, up to 330,000 votes for Obama were probably placed for Romney in 4 ‘swing’ states (Fl, Oh, Va, & NH). Electoral votes from just those 4 states would have given Romney the presidency.

Taking 5-10% of 124 million votes cast in the election, one gets 6-12 million votes Romney actually received instead of Obama. With those 4 swing-states so close in the election, 5-10% for Romney easily would change those states to Romney’s column.

Of the many voting frauds listed, it’s most interesting how Obama won every state that didn’t fully require photo ID to vote.

The Jag Hunter gives even more details scarier than the last.

Obama received 10 million votes less in 2012, than in 2008. Another fraud-pointing statistic.

 

"Consent Decree" a Game-Changer

Some external force was needed for fraud this massive. A race-based Consent Decree Democrat-negotiated against the RNC 30 years ago, still has eliminated their options. GOP officials could be cited for contempt (or fraud this election), if they tried to make sure American elections are fraud-free.

In fact, this case is the Democratic National Committee vs. the Republican National Committee, originally from 1982.

In 1982, Democrats alleged Republicans were attempting to intimidate minority voters in NJ. As a result, legal action somehow forced the RNC to agree to a Consent Decree before a Democrat judge, instead of fighting the claims.

A specific section has been used for 30 years to stop Republicans from any challenge to evidence of voter fraud in voting locations with “racial or ethnic populations”.

Attorney James Bopp (James Madison Center) said “It prevents the RNC from working with state parties in conducting voter integrity activities. It has been used by the DNC to harass the leadership of the RNC with false allegations of violations of the consent decree.”

Bopp said the agreement, even recently with reports of rampant countrywide fraud, prevents the RNC from doing any anti-voter fraud activity on Election Day. Used by the DNC to harass the RNC with false allegations of violations of the Consent Decree, risk of possible election tampering was certain.

From PushBackNow (11/18/12) [DNC Granted Permission to Cheat by RNC Begining 1982 « PBN ...], we get specifics from Chuck Norris on how to eliminate fraud from occurring again. It makes good points on eliminating voter fraud in future elections.

This agreement gives a carte blanche to the DNC to commit vote fraud in every voting district across America per the Consent Decree, with a substantial proportion of ‘racial or ethnic populations’.

The judge who denied the RNC’s appeal in 2010 to vacate the 1982 Consent Decree is an Obama appointee--Joseph Greenaway.

Since 1982, the Consent Decree has been renewed every year by the original judge (Dickinson Debevoise/now 88).  Retired, Debevoise returns yearly to renew that order. 

 

Another Possible Revolution

It was obvious Romney was a talented, experienced, proven executive who could have shown America how to be prosperous again. Changing the enforced Decree looks grim. Until, of course, Debevoise dies.

One option would be for the GOP to retreat, or to join the Democrat Party. What GOP members cannot do, if they want to survive and prosper, is forget why they’re not Democrats.

Since the American Revolution itself, we’ve learned Americans do not give up easily, just because times are tough.

Heterosexual Child-Rearing Far Superior To Same-Sex

Heritage Foundation Survey
Taking two separate surveys, on 2 different dates, two different unbiased organizations gave analyses on child-rearing with couples. This time, same-sex couples versus married husband-wife families were compared. Even Mike McManus elucidates how children of same-sex parents fare much worse than they usually do with a hetero-sexual couple.

Bob Unruh, states This 1 factor could cut child poverty 82% – Heritage Foundation .…. That factor is Mom and Dad being married. This does NOT include living together.

Heritage Foundation’s Robert Rector (Senior Research Fellow): “…But the nation does little or nothing to discourage births outside marriage or to encourage healthy marriage. In fact, the welfare system often sends the message that marriage has nothing to do with poverty.” As can be explained as The report noted, “As husbands disappear from the home, poverty and welfare dependence will increase, and children and parents will suffer as a result”.

In the above report Rector says: “The collapse of marriage, along with a dramatic rise in births to single women, is the most important cause of childhood poverty but government policy doesn’t reflect that reality”.

Veteran returning from deployment and spouse learn new communication skills in PAIRS class as young daughter looks on.

 
File:Samesex marriage in USA.svg
  Laws regarding same-sex partnership in the United States
   Same-sex marriage
   Unions granting rights similar to marriage
   Legislation granting limited/enumerated rights
   Same-sex marriages performed elsewhere recognized
   No specific prohibition or recognition of same-sex marriages or unions
   Statute bans same-sex marriage
   Constitution bans same-sex marriage
   Constitution bans same-sex marriage and specified union types
 
 
Instead of promoting marriage, government only deplors it. It offers numerous programs, specifically for the one-parent family. It’s already known $330 billion (2011) went to single-parents with children.

The Washington Times also reported real-time facts about same-sex marriages. Mark Regnerus (University of Texas Scholar), found differing aspects with comparisons. As compared to adults raised in married heterosexual families, adults raised by lesbian mothers had detrimental consequences (in 24 of 40 classifications), and raised by gay fathers–had detrimental consequences in 19 classifications.

Parents Forcing Sex on Kids

In Exposing Liberal Lies: Homosexuality Hurts the Kids, Michael McManus [President/Marriage Savers] has found results detrimental from same-sex marriage. He says there is 11 times the chance of being molested by a parent: “only two people of those with married parents were ever touched sexually by a parent or an adult – while 23% of those with a lesbian mother had that experience.”

Other facts he unearths, you may not want to know. Only 8% of kids from intact families had ever been “forced” to have sex, versus 31% with lesbian, and 25% of gay parents.

The obvious evidence from this research, is confirmation that when Mom and Dad are actually married, they usually have a very positive effect in a child’s life.

But gays believe 5-8 million years of human responses can be forgotten in the last 30, when gay marriage has attempted to re-define actual marriage.

Alleged Discrimination

Usually, scathing innuendo has plagued accepted marriage in the last 30 years. How about the charge of ‘Christians constantly trying to discriminate against same-sex unions’? This charge is disproved by the privilege advantage. Certain people meet particular standards that enable them to take advantage of privileges offered. Many jobs include certain additional characteristics.

Airline pilots, for example, cannot be acrophobic (fear of heights). They cannot have uncontrolled seizures (e.g.,epilepsy), and many other requirements. That doesn’t mean they are better people than anyone else. Many occupations have special needs: the ability for one to weld, to drive a large machine, to repair a human heart, etc., etc….

Meeting Necessary Requirements

The privilege of marriage usually requires the ability to procreate-to produce new human life. Same-sex marriage, by efinition, prohibits procreation. Maybe it’s possible to paint a $250M portrait, similar to an existing “Rembrandt”. If not, it’s always possible to sue for damages because of discrimination.

Naturally, same-sex couples typically think a Rembrandt is more valuable than a baby.

You Can't Ride a 'Bicycle' in Soccer

On 11/15/12, it happened in Chile, but few Americans were watching it on TV. One did not actually know what was going on, until the “Play of the Day” popped up on Good Morning America (GMA). The acting anchor (Josh Elliot) usually has interesting topics when “Play of the Day” appears, but this time it showed a Swedish soccer player’s stunning goal in a match against England.

Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic ran through the field on Thursday after scoring a shocking [Bicycle kick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia] from 30 yards out on 11/15/12. A replay of the feat in the game itself: [http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more-sports/soccer-world-toasts-ibrahimovic-goal-article-1.1202471#ixzz2CcEiKXT3]

For all those non-soccer players reading about a ‘bicycle’ kick, it is a kick of a ball towards a goal, while the kicker is in midair. The kicker’s head is usually closest to the ground, and facing away from the goal. Its mastery is so difficult, few soccer players even try it.

The acrobatic skill and handling of the ball generally required, has often made it nearly impossible for players to make the move in stressful situations. Only 17 players have ever scored more than once using a ‘bicycle’ kick (including Pele, Ronaldinho, David Arellano, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Billy Bremner) to name a few.

The soccer game was played In Stockholm, Sweden. A Swiss 4-2 win came after Ibrahimovic’s goal in a friendly (not official) match against England. In a truly masterful performance, Ibrahimovic scored all 4 of Sweden’s goals, initially having the extremely rare “hat trick” (3 goals in one game).  

Interpretations of this 90th-minute goal was, the greatest goal of the year. "Goal of the Century," was the headline pasted in Daily Telegraph. The “hat trick” undoubtedly gave Ibrahimovic confidence to attempt such a recklessly bold shot. Chasing a long pass, Ibrahimovic held back when the England goalkeeper rushed to clear the ball with a header, just outside the penalty box. 

He turned, and leapt high before the ball touched the ground. His back to the goal, he kicked the ball overhead, looping over the goalie and two defenders. When he shot from the side of the field 30 yards away, he put the ball in the corner of the net.

Ibrahimovic is one of the few players who could pull off such an athletic feat of this much tenacity and co-ordination. As he scored his 39th goal for Sweden, the stadium became a massive eruption of joy, as only a soccer stadium can be. Ibrahimovic brazenly whipped off his shirt in celebration.

For those diehard football fans who think soccer is a boring, low-scoring sport, the above scenario should possibly change your mind. Throw in the video [http://bustasports.com/italian-soccer-commentator-goes-crazy-after-last-second-goal/], and you’ll find soccer excitement is in the eye of the beholder. 

For those not viewing the video, a last-minute goal has just been scored, with the announcer going absolutely apoplectic, and screaming the word ‘GOAL-GOAL-GOAL’---19 distinct times. This Italian commentator covering the Juventus/Roma game went crazy. Strange, the whole telecast was in Italian. But everyone knew what he was saying. After this goal, the commentator's voice was measured to rise at least two octaves.

Any Hope for Elections After the Fraud in 2012?

Fraud Rears Ugly Head

Suddenly, election results are becoming obvious showing massive fraud. Can an election actually be reversed? According to Joseph Farah (WND) [Did Obama really win?], shows results, for which the winner should disclaim victory. In a separate column by Bob Unruh, more of the details came to light. In a WND Exclusive: Poll watcher sees Romney ballots changed, he confirmed election disparities.

Even with the massive fraud turning the election, there was no way Obama could declare his win a ‘mandate’. Even with the fraud, Obama only got 51% of the vote, to Romney’s 48%.

 

The Facts

Obama’s election victory was heavily tainted by a few anomalies. The most serious ones:  1) automated voting machines in many states (late undecided) automatically switched 5-10% votes for Romney, to Obama. 2) Democrat operatives had people cast multiple votes. 3) Deliberately trying to suppress the military vote, ballots were systematically denied active-duty servicemen and women around the world. 4) Democrats, in many cases, achieved open votingnrequiring no identification (e.g., no photo ID).

And looking more carefully at all the data, one is amazed that Obama won every state that didn’t fully require photo ID to vote.

Obama claimed no new taxes, but Obamacare (Rush Limbaugh; 11/14 EIB) adds another $1.79/hr/full-time-employee tax. And add another $0.98/hr/employee as a ‘fine’ for not having Obamacare.

It turns out 330,000 votes for Romney (instead of Obama), in 4 ‘swing’ states (Fl, Oh, Va, & NH), would have given Romney the decision by the Electoral College. That doesn’t include the millions of votes changed to Obama from Romney (errant voting machines), >10 methods of voter fraud, 3 million Republicans countrywide that didn’t vote (thinking Romney had already won from polls taken), or the millions who didn’t register to vote for fear of being called for Jury Duty.

 

Obama Does Not  Discuss Benghazi

After the election, we hear all of the discrepancies in the official ‘Benghazi-gate’ story. When asked on television to give an account of Benghazi, Obama would not respond, but said an investigation was forthcoming. It’s known public knowledge about the exact happenings could have easily changed election results, even with all the fraud.

Obama and his campaign cohorts were sly in their election antics. It’s almost impossible to pin any of the voter fraud actions on the Democrat Party, even though they seemed to win every contested vote. It will be highly difficult to pin any blame of fraud due to circumstances, and the lack of hard facts in most cases.

It was unfortunate the country will be submitted to four more years of crushing debt, gifts to half the electorate for re-electing Obama, Marxist practices, Supreme Court Justices likely nominated by a pro-abortion Senate, overbearing regulations, higher tax rates for all, and higher unemployment.

 

Results To Go Untouched

In all likelihood, none of the above facts can be changed. There will likely be no recall, or even a referendum, for many facts that were circumstantial, and unprovable.

For those of you who still voted for Obama because he’s Black (only 45%), it may be wise to remember that to vote for someone only because he’s Black, is as racist not to vote for someone who is Black. 

And most importantly, it may be wise to pray for those aborted, especially under the Obama regime. If those aborted souls are still existing, as most Christians know they are, there will likely be h--l to pay for the unrepentant, and those who voted all the aborters in office. 

They say many, even an entire country, must hit ‘rock-bottom’ before it can return to glory. Designed by the Forefathers almost 250 years ago, a country designed with God’s help,  will never fail.

Any Hope for Elections After the Fraud in 2012?

Fraud Rears Ugly Head

Suddenly, election results are becoming obvious showing massive fraud. Can an election actually be reversed?

Protection Against the Likely EMP Attack

Unheard of Threat

A sure-fire method of nullifying the most ominous threat today--an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) attack. A second Obama term heightens that risk dramatically. “An EMP attack on the American homeland, is one of only a few ways that the US could be defeated by its enemies – terrorist or otherwise,” wrote Sen. John Kyl, R-Ariz., in the Washington Post. This has been known since Kyle wrote that article in 2005.

The easiest is using a Scud missile, with only one nuclear bomb. Detonated at the right altitude (40-60 km) would produce an EMP at the speed of light. If detonated at the right altitude over the North American Continent, the effect would knock out power grids and electrical systems across the US for months, or even years, resulting in a rapid breakdown of social order.

 

Owners of the EMP Ability

Iran has that ability--as soon as it manufactures a ‘nuke’ for Scud arming. North Korea, an Iran ally, already claims this ability. By now, it’s a given at least all 28 nuclear-capable nations have the same ability.

Per Kyle, “Just launch a cheap missile from a freighter in international waters--al-Qaeda is believed to own about 80 such vessels--and make sure to get it a few miles in the air.”  Electrical power, and electronics and communications would cease to exist. Anarchy and blackouts are a certainty. Almost all vehicular activity would be gone.

Iran admittedly says enrichment produces fuel for nuclear reactors. But, it can also be used in nuclear bombs. Intelligence realizes nuclear-armed nations are quickly developing EMP weapons. Iran will likely demonstrate its ability to get the bomb at almost a moment’s notice.

Dr. William Graham, Reagan’s science adviser (chairman Commission Assessing Threat to US from EMP Attack), believes a large EMP above American territory would mean most Americans would either freeze, starve or die from disease.

Graham states Iran’s latest mid-air detonation of missiles are possible plans for an EMP attack. A rogue, or terrorist nation, can achieve EMP attack capability without having a high level of sophistication.

 

Sources of Secret Information

Very highly reliable sources, Reza Kahlili (ex-CIA agent), and Hamidreza Zakeri (Iran Intelligence defector) has irrefutable evidence from sources inside Iran on its nuclear weapons timetable. Iran has almost completed building a nuclear warhead, and successfully tested an implosion system at a secret site, while enriching uranium.

Kahlili and Zakeri confirmed Iranian intelligence (WND:“Watch Iranians, They Believe That War is Near, Expert Says”). Kahlili says Iran doesn’t believe US would attack (Obama actions), but they’re no so sure about Israel. Zakeri testified in a Manhattan federal court, giving proof Iran had materially aided and supported al-Qaeda, before and after 9/11.

Given reports from Kahlili, Zakeri, ISIS and IAEA, Netanyahu has much to worry about.

 

Missile Defense

General Habiger (former head US Strategic Command) has said the following about an EMP attack: “It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when.” He relates how society would collapse into a collection of hostile self-styled militias, private armies and warring tribes. Shockingly, only a $20M upgrade of hardening all electronics could eliminate any EMP destruction.

Taking the American will out of the equation, Obama bypassed Americans when he clandestinely said to Russian President Medvedev:  “after he [Obama] is re-elected and need never face the voters again, he can be more "flexible" with the Russians about missile defense.”

The only sure savior to an EMP attack, would be Missile Defense. No one would be killed, but encroaching missiles towards the US would be blown out of the sky. The Department of Defense has missiles that can target rogue missiles (15,000 mph) on its way to a city.

Unfortunately, Obama was in the distinct position within the last year to shoot down a North Korean missile in test flight splashing close to a friendly location. Doing so, would have realized 3 things:

One:      a rogue missile would be proven destroyed by Missile Defense

Two:     North Korea would realize their missiles would likely be useless against the US , and US-protected states

Three:  terrorist entities (e.g., al-Qaeda, etc…) would also realize nuclear missiles would be useless for delivering, or threatening ‘terror’

With successful deployment, the possibility exists that any nuclear missile attack could be a thing of the past.

 

Action MUST Be Immediate

Now, WND has came out with an exclusive column from Michael Maloof ("Hezbollah plays Tit for Tat with Israel"). Hezbollah (with drones received from Iran), has missiles capable  of emitting a non-nuclear "EMP", with he ability to cause large electrical blackouts.  Hezbollah indicates however, that drones are only part of their total capability.   

 With the ability to reach Israel’s highly sensitive Dimona nuclear reactor, this shuffles the cards against Israel. Hezbollah overtly warned Israel an attack against Iran’s nuclear sites could lead to the “annihilation” of the “Tel Aviv regime.”

Strangely, Obama has cut an arm, and two legs, off  the existing American missile defense system with defense cuts. This does not include all intended future cuts by his administration. It also ignores any plans Obama may have with Arab and/or radical Islamic factions.

Will Obama Resign Because of Benghazi?

It’s only happened to one president—and he resigned. Two presidents were impeached, the most recent was Bill Clinton. With Obama, impeachment (or indictment) charges have not yet been filed.

Obama’s actions concerning the Benghazi Consulate (Libya) were more than troubling. It’s known 4 Americans, including a still breathing Ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in a terrorist attack on the embassy in a tactically coordinated offensive by Islamic terrorists. Obama knew this within 2 hours.

But Obama would not order the military to move in. In other words, Americans were left to die. The real scandal was how the administration--for days--continued to alter reality by pointing to an obscure video, instead of the actual terrorist uprising, occurring on the 9/11 Anniversary.

Obama actually watched the attacks on surveillance pictures from an American drone camera overhead. Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer reported to Fox News confirmed Obama watched the hideous attack occur ‘live’. “I hate to say this, according to my sources, yes, [the President] was one of those in the White House situation room in real-time watching this. And the question becomes, ‘What did the President do or not do in the moments he saw this unveiling?’ He — only he — could issue a directive to Secretary of Defense Panetta to do something.”

The New York Post also collaborates a military drone was over Benghazi at the time of the attacks, relaying real-time information back to D.C.  Bottom line, the president did absolutely nothing to protect the lives of Americans at the embassy. Urgent requests for military support were denied numerous times.

General David Petraeus discusses his witness of the attacks, and desperate requests for assistance, but was helpless to send any assistance without Obama’s direct order. From Petraeus: “…Moreover, no one at any level in the CIA told anybody not to help those in need; claims to the contrary are simply inaccurate. In fact, it is important to remember how many lives were saved by courageous Americans who put their own safety at risk that night—and that some of those selfless Americans gave their lives in the effort to rescue their comrades.”

The Constitution states: “[the president] shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

From Alexander Hamilton: "...those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or, in other words, from the abuse or violation of some public trust.”

Impeachment: majority vote by the House; conviction 2/3 vote by the Senate. Majority Republican, the House would certainly impeach. With a Democrat Senate majority, conviction would be unlikely. 

Obama told a Denver TV station right after at the Consulate killings, "I gave three very clear directives. Number one, make sure that we are securing our personnel and doing whatever we need to.”

Charges Committed:

1) allowing illegal trespassing

2) allowing death of 4 Americans

3) refusal to defend American territory [consulate]

4) not informing public of attack

5) lying to public about perpetrators of attack, and refusal for aide

6) not fulfilling promises made after attack

7) obstruction of justice

8) abuse of power

 

During this entire conflict, Washington was continually in touch [by email] with personnel in Benghazi. We learned that a closely associated al-Qaeda group claimed responsibility for the entire siege.

Per FoxNews' Jennifer Griffin, Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, part of a team about a mile from the consulate, heard gunshots emanating from the consulate. Urgently requesting backup, he asked permission to go to the embassy for help. He and his team were denied 3x, and told to "stand down."

Woods had no doubt about his reactions to Americans under attack. He defied his orders and rushed to help, but could not find the ambassador. Returning back to the safe house, he made a desperate call again for military assistance, but was refused again. After 4 hours, he was killed on the roof by a mortar shell. No assistance was forthcoming. 

It’s known a fighter jet could have arrived within 1 hour, special forces within 3, but fighting raged continually for 7.

In What We Know About Benghazi: Obama Should Resign : The Daily ... Ivan Kenneally (Editor/Daily Witness) gives another similar account.

Gary Halbert: What Really Happened in Benghazi on Sept. 11 - InvestorsInsight.com describes the same fiasco.

Halbert even admits the only plausible explanation: Obama knew it was too big a risk to admit to a major terrorist attack killing 4 Americans, he refused to protect. He wouldn’t allow this info publicized shortly before the election.

By the time the whole truth came out, it was called "old news". Mainstream media treated it as such.

Inescapable Conclusions to a Re-Election

If someone peruses the facts on this Administration’s actions, some conclusions are obvious. But aside from that, what can the Obama supporters be thinking? Is it rational?

Obama’s documented falsehoods include ‘no new taxes’, abortion reductions, no bailout losses, no increased regulations [Red Tape Rising: Regulation in the Obama Era], and  no reduced domestic oil recovery.

President Barack Obama's Pro-Abortion Record: A ... - LifeNews.com, is a compilation of every pro-abortion action  Obama has engaged in promoting abortion before, and during his presidency. The column [http://www.lifenews.com/2011/07/20/the-economic-cost-of-abortion-202-billion-in-lost-taxes/] shows the real costs of abortions, especially during the Obama Administration.

Instead of ramping up in the Gulf of Mexico and OCS, he has ramped down. U.S. Total Gasoline Retail Sales by Refiners (Thousand ... – EIA can be easily tracked. Contrary to ‘Peak Oil’ theories, production escalated through the Bush years to 66,800 [Thousands/Gal/Day] by 8/2003. However, Obama’s 36% drop in approved domestic oil permits shortly after he took charge, resulted in only 28,400 TGD (1/2012), or a 57% decrease in refined fuel .

Then comes 900 Executive Orders announced by Obama: A Comprehensive List Of Obama's Worst Executive Orders | Opinion ... shows how Obama will wrestle control from the House and Senate. Google says Obama’s 3.5 year ‘EO’ total is 923. Each of the preceding 19 presidents averaged only 7 ‘EOs’.

The deficit has already exceeded $16 trillion. In 32 months of the Obama Administration, Obama has added more to the national debt, than all the first 41 presidents. Now the debt is rising by more than 2 million dollars every single minute.  Over $150 million is stolen every single hour from our children by the Obama Administration [70 Facts President Obama Doesn’t Want You To Know].

As noted in the report by CNSNews.com, "the last time the Senate passed a budget was on Apr. 29, 2009."

Real median household income has dropped $4300 since Barack Obama entered the White House. Before he became president in 2008, Obama told America that “…we are five days away from fundamentally transforming America.”

In 10/2010, Obama went on the Spanish radio station, Univision. He spoke with Eddie Sotelo on a number of Hispanic-oriented issues. Obama’s direct quote: "We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."  This, directly to Hispanics, about this November election.

In the first election (2007), Obama claimed he was Christian. But tapes later made public, showed Obama speaking to a Muslim group claiming he was raised a Muslim, was educated as a Muslim, and is still a Muslim.

ANSWERS gives an accurate estimate of Obama's real heritage: 50% White, 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African.

 

Obama supporters likely fall into categories, and could be associated with multiple groups:

  1) minorities [love Obama ‘giveaways’]

  2) Black/racially-sensitive Americans [voting for a Black because he’s Black, IS racist]

  3) most media outlets [>85% for Obama]

  4) TORIES [Loyalists to British Crown; don’t like Founding Fathers’ type of government]

 

Before Obama was elected, 32 million Americans were on food stamps (SNAP). As president, Obama currently has 46.4 million on food stamps, or a 45% greater usage.  

Per Thomas Sowell (GOPUSA), “Do either Barack Obama or his followers have any idea how many countries during the 20th century set out to "spread the wealth" -- and ended up spreading poverty instead?”

With Obama’s claims of “creating jobs”, Sowell reiterates: "there hasn't been one day during the entire Obama presidency when as many Americans were working as on the day President Bush left office." Per Sowell, many more jobs were lost, than were ever gained during the Obama Administration.

Obama's unemployment numbers of 7.8% have since been proven to be lies. Instead of 7.8% unemployed, it’s actually 14.7%, including those who have given up looking.

We see Obama’s likely plan in Archived-Articles: The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery. The goal---to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. This administration uses entitlements to weaken the poor, making them more dependent on government. This melds with the “don’t bite the hand that feeds you” theory.

Lawrence Kudlow: Is Obama Buying the Election With His Welfare Explosion ..., puts this scheme into the proper perspective.

If one checks closely, the total debt increases every month, instead of decreases.

Words by Senator Barack Obama, March 2006:

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership."                                     

Think hard, about what that means…

Can Communism be Around the Bend?

Many have the full intention of deleteting at least 6 words from the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. Those words are: “…or prohibiting the free exercise thereof… .  “Thereof'” specifically refers to religion. Other constitutional changes seem imminent as well, if Democrats win the next presidential election.

A main purpetrator is the infamous Health and Human Services (HHS) “contraception mandate”. An administrative rule  authorized by the 2010 Affordable Care Act, says every employer (>50 employees) must provide group health insurance.
That includes no-cost coverage of sterilization services, and prescription contraceptives (abortifacients--including the pill).

Simply put, sterilization will raise insurance premiums employers will have to pay. Costs will have to be passed onto consumers meaning they will have to pay additionally. Adding insult, to injury, to forcing someone to go against conscience and religious convictions, the consumer will be forced to pay at least twice.

Ditto for the abortifacients, which will add the additional atrocity of killing a soul-enshrined fertilized embryo. This adds killing a human to the forced list.

Hence, religious liberty is prohibited, forced, and controlled. First Amendment rights are then squelched, eliminated, stamped on, or ignored. Additional pending regulations, taxes, Obamacare, etc…, extend the disregard and downplay of any religion.

‘Death Panels’ directly refute any religious teaching of ‘life’. Any federal payment to abortion agencies (e.g., Planned Parenthood), Embryonic Stem Cell Research, same-sex marriage, cloning, and Euthanasia, are a direct forcing of the populace to pay for highly religiously objectionable precepts.

Over thirty-four states have already ruled a marriage is only between a woman and a man. A marriage is almost always religious in nature. Additional regulations and taxes not only increase the debt, but they decrease take-home pay, increase poverty, reduce job options, increase need for food stamps, and separate people. All in exact opposition to any religious beliefs.

Per Mathew Franck (Witherspoon Institute; Imprimis) the Obama DofJ says, “…no one can claim…any right of religious freedom or conscience that can trump a requirement of the law. Period.”

The early American Founder James Madison, speaks of conscience as an “unalienable right”. Something mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. He continues, religion is “exempt from the authority of the Society at large”. Even more so, from the political authority of the created government society.

It seems the existing secular state falters greatly in viewing religious communities, as subordinates to state decrees. Amazingly 30 years ago, Richard John Neuhaus (The Naked Public Square) added an omnipotent comment to the public square: “…a perverse notion of the disestablishment of religion leads to the establishment of the state as church.”   

Only one entity believes they are powerful enough to come between God and fellow citizens. That is a secularized state who has disbanded any hopes of a citizen-run government. Socialism believes it must control any society with an iron fist.

We must fight to secure the Founding Fathers'  intentions this election.

Can Obama Be a Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing?

Obama wants you to vote because you might like him. Romney wants you to vote if you’re a citizen, wants the Democratic-republic form of government the Founding Fathers wanted, and knows our government is Christian-based.

Most importantly, Obama has trampled on the very first right listed in the Declaration"LIFE”. From Killing the Geniuses | Crisis Magazine, one learns at least 40 million deaths have resulted in Obama’s first 4 years ‘hawking’ the Pill and chemical and surgical abortions, in the US alone.

Forget for a second that Obama now has accumulated over $16 billion in debt. Interesting--he has been so casual about his debt accumulation, and our impending financial train wreck.  

The Daily Caller lately provided a story that during a 1998 Loyola College Forum, then-state Senator Obama spoke about "working poor" and "welfare recipients", as a "majority coalition". He specifically stated this could be leveraged politically.

For a November win, Obama is giving recipients more government assistance, more food stamps and more cell phones. As Fox News reports, the program Lifeline has existed since 1985. When Obama became president, Lifeline exploded from spending $772 million (2008), to $1.6 billion (2012).

For over three years Obama has not presented a budget to Congress. So much for transparency. 

By accessing the Gulf of Mexico and the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), America could be oil-independent by 2020. Surprisingly, Obama has cut back offshore oil drilling by Americans. But he has loaned Brazil (our tax dollars) for offshore drilling. Per FOX News, and the Bureau of Land, Bush (FY2000-FY2008) had approved 116% more drilling permits than existed. Obama (FY2008-FY2011), on the other hand, has eliminated 36% fewer .              

Included in the >2000 page ‘Obamacare’, he added various draconian regulations to industries for global warming, and multiple environmental topics. 

In an unprecedented turn, Obama has initiated 923 “Executive Orders” in just 40 months. This takes control away from the House and Senate. All 19 presidents before Obama, averaged only 6.7EOs’ during each presidential tenure.

Joint Muslim activities show Obama cares highly for the Muslim church. He now admits ~20 separate Muslim attacks in acts of terrorism. In the Libyan consulate alone, Islamic radicals killed the American ambassador, and 3 others. Knowing this, he initially kept Americans in the dark, saying the attack wasn’t planned, but a backlash for an Islamic film.

Even his actions abroad, such as bowing low from the waist to Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah at a G20 meeting in London, portrays a subservient ‘subject’. A Saudi-backed Arabic paper also took the gesture as a bow.

Ask Dr. Sam Vaknin (author Malignant Self Love), on snopes.com: Dr. Sam Vaknin - Barack Obama Is a Narcissist. He defines narcissism as an inordinate fascination with oneself, vanity, and/or egocentrism. Even though not a PhD, he is one of the few world authorities on narcissism. 

Vaknin shows Obama's language, demeanor, and testimonies of his closest friends, suggest Obama personifies narcissism. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Stalin, Saddam, Mao, Kim Jong III and Adolph Hitler were a just a few other examples of narcissists.

Narcissists almost always want power. The media, focused on Obama being "the first Black president” pushed for a book about race relations. Similar to Obama’s book in title only (later a film),Dreams from My Real Father,” explores in detail the relationship Obama had with Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party member suspected by the FBI to be a Soviet agent. 

The Other Anti-Obama Film by Cliff Kincaid (Accuracy in Media), goes into detail about Obama’s Marxist ties. Obama will eventually cause widespread racial resentment. They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama's detractors of racism, setting the clock back decades.   

Charmed with his acquired narcissism, realizes people become ‘clay’ in his hands. He creates a personality, through cult mentality. His admirers--his co-dependents.

Now we find out Obama may be homosexual. Evidently, he’s still tied very closely to Chicago politics, his old pastor Jeremiah Wright, and Jesse Jackson [http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/jesse-jackson-wright-arranged-obama-marriage/]. Even the "Swing State Stunner" by Jerome Corsi as well, puts things in a different perspective:

In Thumbnail [“Voices Without a Vote”], produced by local below-voting-age college and high school students [San Diego County, Ca], this 3-minute, professional-quality video was made and will blow your socks off. The young are our future, without a doubt.

Planned Parenthood Tops Taxpayer Wastes

Despite hundreds of wasted outlets for taxpayer monies, Planned Parenthood (PP) has got to be the worst for this administration. Not the biggest, but the worst. Normally, any president would never align himself with such an entity, especially with possible negative political feedback. But this seems to be an exception to the rule.

But on YouTube - Barack Obama Addresses Planned Parenthood, and completely sanctifies their existence. How could anyone, much less the President of the United States (POTUS) condone, or be part of some of the criminal acts performed by PP ?

Historically, PP has committed immeasurable atrocities. Just lately, PP has been promoting race-based abortions, female sex elimination, minority abortion, misuse of millions of taxpayer dollars every year, and teaching children how to have degenerate sex.

Margaret Sanger, the original founder of PP, openly acknowledged her beliefs in racism and eugenics. In 1939, Sanger launched 'The Negro' Project Lives On Through Planned Parenthood ..., which has quietly carried on her policies, years after her death. 

Obama is connected, as Abortion and Black Genocide (Barack Obama and the Negro Project ... discusses minority abortion with correspondent Jonathan Tremaine.

Even back in 2008, the words of Clenard Childress resound in the ears of those who see PP expanding in this presidency: Margaret Sanger would have loved Barack Obama.

BlackGenocide.org | The Negro Project, was a racially motivated population control scheme. It had Black preachers urging for birth control and sterilization for Blacks, essentially halting Black reproduction. Sanger believed Blacks were ‘unfit’, an inferior species, and should not breed. This method would allow the inferior to die out without a known scapegoat.

One can read the Report Proves Planned Parenthood Targets Blacks, Hispanics ..., to get the full picture.

We find out with HHS, the Sebelius Admin Destroyed Records in Case Against Planned ... Parenthood. That Planned Parenthood Bashed Komen to Hide Abusive Practices ... . That Obama Essentially Creates Department of Planned Parenthood .… 

Obama knows one fact: Planned Parenthood hit with $5.5 billion fraud suit!

Obama has close relationships with pro-abortion organizations, so he defended taxpayer funding of the PP abortion business during a speech at a pro-abortion group’s dinner banquet (11/11/11).

The Senate eventually rejected [Democrat-controlled] the Republican-controlled House budget bill (Pence Amendment) de-funding the PP abortion business. If Obama gets re-elected, PP will never be defunded.

Someone knowing of, aiding or abetting such criminal acts as fraud, intentional waste of taxpayer funds, intentional race genocide, covert elimination of many of the female gender, lying, feeding misinformation, and allowing the ‘perceived’ unfit to die out, must be stopped. PP sales of tax-funded sex-selection abortions [Undercover Video Catches Hawaii Planned Parenthood Offering ...] is totally unacceptable.        

From covering up child rape and incest, sex trafficking, sexual training techniques, race-, sex-based abortions, PP has developed a clear model of abuse and deception though its ninety-five years after Sanger’s saga. How can the major leader of the free world support this action?

Per the Radiance Foundation, all 50 states are targeted by PP. That includes millions in lobbying and litigation to prevent any parental notification or consent, lack of fathers’ rights, women’s right-to-know, ultrasound, abortion clinic standards, and  waiting periods or common sense protections of any kind.

America will be heard in November. One thing needs to be remembered by all those screaming racism. Voting for someone because he's Black, is as racist as voting against someone because he's Black.
