The Vatican told the UN in the nicest possible way to go suck an egg.
Meanwhile, President Obama showed himself to be right in line with the United Nation’s hypocritical agenda.
At the February 6, 2014 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, he praised freedom of religion and called “killing the innocent” the “ultimate betrayal.”
Then he went back to the White House to put some more time into praising Planned Parenthood and persecuting Catholics.
Rep Tom Reid says, “If the President and Harry Reid continue to refuse to negotiate, I support presenting a simple request to them: repeal the special treatment under Obamacare that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and the President secured for Members of Congress and their DC insider friends, and I will vote to keep the government open.”https://www.facebook.com/RepTomReed
ObamaCare: Smoke And Mirrors by Elaina F. George, MD
EXCERPT: Since the United Nations created the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1948, there has been an inexorable movement toward a centralized power that shifts decisions from individuals to government through regulation and mandates. It has readily caught on abroad and anchors socialized medicine. America was virtually the only western holdout. That changed in 1965, when the expansion of Social Security created Medicare, which, essentially, is socialized medicine for seniors.
ObamaCare is following in Medicare’s footsteps:
Just like ObamaCare, Medicare was sold as a government program to take care of Americans. Government became the benefactor, caregiver and savior — absolving Americans from personal responsibility. All they had to do was give their faith and money to the government.
Just like ObamaCare, Medicare was drafted by bureaucrats and politicians seemingly more interested in concentrating power and controlling the purse strings.
Just like ObamaCare, no doctors or patients were involved in the crafting of Medicare. There were no true advocates for the patient.
Over the years, Medicare devolved into a bloated, wasteful and soon-to-be bankrupt system. It has been a piggy bank for Congress (in fact, $700 billion from the Medicare trust fund was raided to help fund ObamaCare).
Costs have increased through higher deductibles while there has been a steady decline in access and treatment options.For those who argue that health care will improve under ObamaCare, note that Medicare reimbursements to hospices will increase one percent while hospital reimbursements fall. This makes it hard to argue that a new system will not emphasize rationing and palliative care to decrease costs.
Comments Off on Obama’s Promise vs. ObamaCare’s Reality
This year’s United Nations General Assembly opened on September 17 and will close on October 1.
Item 99 on the UNGA Agenda: General and complete disarmament
(v) Implementation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction (resolution 67/54);
On September 12, 2013, Haaretz reported:
With Moscow and Washington now discussing a diplomatic deal that would rid Syria of its chemical weapons, officials in Jerusalem are preparing for the possibility that Israel will be asked to submit to supervision of the chemical weapons that foreign reports say it possesses. Israel signed the Chemical Weapons Convention in 1993, but never ratified it. Consequently, it hasn’t agreed to submit itself to international inspections or to refrain from steps that would violate the convention.
On September 14, 2013, the United Nations announced:
It has received all documents necessary for Syria to join the Chemical Weapons Conventionstarting on Oct. 14, 2013.
Also on UNGA Agenda:
Item 99: General and complete disarmament
(u) Treaty banningthe production of fissile material for nuclear weapons or othernuclear explosive devices (resolution 67/53).
On September 18, 2013, a high-level statement came out of Iran:
It said the country’s new leaders want to compromise in negotiations over its WMD programs. Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, told NBC News that Iran would never “seek weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons” and that he had “full power and complete authority” to make a nuclear deal with the West when he goes to the United Nations next week.
August 2013: Environmental activists launched a well-funded new attack on Republican “climate change deniers”in hopes of making global warming a big issue in the 2014 campaign cycle.
September 17, 2013:Long-time Gore-ite Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif … natch) is head of Congress’ Safe Climate Caucus. They hosted a Democrats-only forum today to hear to “hear from individuals who have experienced first-hand the serious impacts of climate change.”
Among them was a Texas rancher who talked about the extreme drought in Texas, which apparently we’re supposed to all assume was caused by carbon emissions. But the Texas State Historical Association climate records say severe drought in Texas happens about once every ten years or so. And the worst one was back in 1884–86, long before mankind started using fossil fuels in large quantities.
September 27, 2013: The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will release its fifth report on global warming. Earlier IPCC reports fueled climate alarmism and padded Al Gore’s bank account. Reporters who got an advance copy of the new report say it admits the computer models they used in the past sucked and oops sorry about the alarmism thing.
Senate Democratic leadership seem determined to toss aside Senate rules in its rush to cover Obama’s Morsi-supporting, Muslim Brotherhood arming, red line drawing backside.
September 4, 2013: The Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved a modified war resolution (10–7) with one member, Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), voting present.
September 9, 2013: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is poised to bring the measure to the floor, then put the vote to the full Senate as soon as Wednesday, September 11, 2013.
According to Senate rules, hearings should be notified seven days in advance, business meetings should be notified at least three days in advance, and members should have 24 hours to consider legislative text before having to vote on it.
Not to mention that this coming Wednesday is the anniversary of the lethal 9/11 assaults on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, United Airlines Flight 93, and our embassy in Benghazi which were all perpetrated by the anti-American, Muslim extremists Obama has been funding, arming and is determined to send our troops to support in Syria.

Senate Breaks Own Rules in Rush to Vote on Syria War by Josh Rogin – Sep 4, 2013
Obama admitted publicly that U.S. intelligence has concluded the Syrian government used chemical WMDs on civilians last week.
Obama plans to ignore the fact that he couldn’t get U.N. approval for an attack on Syria, because Russia opposes it.
The Navy has moved a second aircraft carrier into the Gulf.
Obama said the White House will brief top congressional leaders this afternoon about Obama’s plans for a possible military strike.
Democrat and Republican members of Congress reminded Obama that just consulting with or informing Congress is not good enough to make military action legal.
Under the provisions of the War Powers Resolution (WPR), the President is required to notify Congress within 48 hours of the onset of US military involvement. They then have 60 days to get formal authorization from Congress and if they fail to do so must cease operations within 30 days.
Obama is unlikely to give a crap what Congress thinks or the Constitution says. In 2011, he ordered American warplanes into action over Libya without seeking authorization from Congress before or after.
The New York Times, the usual leakhole of Obama Inc, quoted officials describing a limited one or two day campaign that would degrade Assad’s ability to launch chemical weapons, without forcing him out of power. That might be true, but then again no less a figure than Barack H. Obama had promised that the Libyan intervention would last “days, not weeks”. It lasted months, not weeks, let alone days.
Meanwhile, Obama reportedly told several mayors that he would by-pass Congress to get more gun control.
It’s a safe bet that if the Obama administration had devoted as much attention to saving the murder victims in Benghazi as they are saving the sorry, inexperienced backside of marionette Susan Rice there would be no investigation of a cover-up.
Skin color matters not a whit with respect to her considerable missteps and opprobrious behavior for she openly distributed misinformation to protect the reputation of a man with a vaporous backbone who treats underlings like a mother rat, nudging its babies to eat the bait first to find out if it’s poisonous.
Give me a break with all this racial and gender crapola, will you? She’s pathetic and so is her boss, although they’re not alone. (Oh, and by the way, Mr. Obama? This isn’t the playground in the inner city in which you never lived, so quit pounding your chest to defend Ms. Rice as if she was your girlfriend/)
Now let’s talk about Hillary Clinton, a woman with an absurdly inflated sense of self, rivaled only by the fawning media who once pronounced her the smartest lawyer in America … for no reason other than that of being in the spotlight and being married to Bill.
Lastly, we have the president addressing the U.N. and re-telling the cover-story of the cover-up to cover his ineptitude a full 14 days after the Benghazi slaughter and bowing to his puppet masters from the Arab world that a terrorist attack was caused by a video. He didn’t just suggest it, by the way; he reiterated in seven separate portions of his address.
Nov 7, 2012 (Reuters) – Hours after U.S. President Barack Obama was re-elected, the United States backed a U.N. committee’s call to renew debate over a draft international treaty to regulate the global arms trade. Previous talks on this treaty collapsed in July largely because Obama feared attacks from Romney. After Obama’s win, the U.N. General Assembly’s disarmament committee moved quickly to reschedule. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/07/us-arms-treaty-un-idUSBRE8A627J20121107
March 16, 2012: Obama signed Executive Order 13603
REMOVED U.S. Special Forces from a red-hot danger zone;
INSTALLED local militia with ties to Muslim extremists to “guard” the embassy;
IGNORED multiple signs that attack(s) were being planned for the anniversary of 9/11;
DENIED multiple requests for additional security;
LIED for weeks after the attack about what they knew and when they knew it.
SHORT STORY LONG – Here’s the timeline I’ve pieced together, with URLs at the end:
2011 March: Obama authorizes a military assault on Libya’s Gaddafi government, without obtaining the approval of Congress that is required by law. Only 47% of Americans approve of Obama’s action.
2011 October: The leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi, dies. While Gaddafi was admittedly a seriously major creep, he had at least been keeping Al-Qaeda out of Libya. Extremists move into the leadership vacuum left by his death.
2012 February: The U.S. embassy in Libya requests — and is granted — an extension on their Site Security Team (SST) composed of 16 Special Forces soldiers who provided security, medical and communications support to the embassy. The State Department says the SST can stay four more months. That sets them up to leave Libya in August, shortly before the anniversary of 9/11.
2012 March: Eric Nordstrom, the State Department’s Regional Security Officer, sends a cable to Washington asking for additional diplomatic security agents for Benghazi. He gets no response.
2012 April: Two men throw an IED over the consulate fence.
2012 May: Militant Muslims attack the Red Cross office in Benghazi, then post on Facebook that they’re planning something for the Americans.
2012 June: Unknown assailants blow a ginormous hole in the consulate gate. Four days later, the British ambassador’s car is ambushed by militants with a rocket-propelled grenade. Another threat appears on Facebook.
2012 July: Nordstrom again asks Washington for additional security for the diplomats in Libya. Again, he gets no response.
2012 August: Family members of the Libyan militia protecting the consulate receive warnings about an impending attack. Ambassador Stevens wants the 16-special forces SST to stay longer; Washington orders them to leave.
2012 September 8: Members of the Libyan militia protecting the consulate warn U.S. diplomats that the security situation is “frightening.”
2012 September 10: The day before the anniversary of 9/11, Ayman al Zawahiri, the man who took over as head of Al Qaeda after Osama bin Laden was killed, issues a public call for Libyans to avenge the death of his Libyan deputy, Abu Yahya al Libi, who was killed in June by a U.S. drone.
2012 September 11: American embassies are assaulted in 20 different countries. In Cairo, attackers scale the U.S. embassy walls and replace the U.S. flag with the Islamist banner. The consulate in Benghazi is attacked by about 20 heavily armed men. Our people in the White House, State Department, military, FBI and CIA watch the attack going down in real time.

SBU means Sensitive but Unclassified. COM means Chief of Mission – i.e., the Ambassador.
February 17 Brigade is a militia with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, the largest and most influential Islamic movement in the world. It’s credo is, “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.” Its most famous slogan, which is used worldwide, is “Islam is the solution.”

Ansar al-Sharia: Translation “Partisans of Islamic Law” is an Islamist militia group in Libya that advocates for the implementation of strict Sharia law throughout Libya. Category Yellow: Homeland Security uses a five color-coded threat level scale to label the probability of a terrorist attack and its potential gravity. Red is severe risk; Orange is high risk; Yellow is significant risk; Blue is guarded, general risk; Green is low risk.
Late on the night of September 11 to 12: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton issues a statement that “some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet.”
2012 September 12: Media outlets report that Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack by well-armed militants. Reuters reports that some administration officials believe the assault “bears the hallmarks of an organized attack.” Reuters also reports there are indications that members of both al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Ansar al-Sharia may have been involved in organizing the attacks. President Obama says he does not believe the “outrageous and shocking attack” was simply due to a protest that turned violent, but he never mentions either the video or the word terrorism. He just says, “My suspicion is that there are folks involved in this who were looking to target Americans from the start.”
2012 September 13: White House spokesman Jay Carney says “the protests we’re seeing around the region are in reaction to this movie.”
2012 September 14: Carney says the administration had “no actionable intelligence” that a 9/11 attack was being planned.
2012 September 15: A CNN reporter walks through the unsecured crime scene at the Benghazi consulate and makes off with Ambassador Stevens’ personal journal. CNN reads and uses Stevens’ journal entries in news reports, citing it as an unidentified source “familiar with Stevens’ thinking” and saying the ambassador had been concerned about a “rise in Islamic extremism” that posed security threats to him and his staff.
2012 September 16: Susan Rice, Obama’s Ambassador to the United Nations, appears on multiple Sunday talk shows, saying again and again that a protest over the video was the “proximate cause” of the four American deaths. Libya’s interim president Mohamed Magarief says the assault in Benghazi was not a spontaneous protest, but “was planned, definitely.”
2012 September 19: National Counterterrorism Center Director Matthew Olsen testifies before the Senate Homeland Security Committee that the assault was an “opportunistic” attack in which armed terrorists took advantage of an on-going protest. (Olsen was appointed to the position in 2011 by President Obama.)
2012 September 20: President Obama says, “What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests.” CBS reports that witnesses in Benghazi say there was no protest prior to the armed assault against the consulate. White House Press Secretary Carney declares it “self-evident that what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”
2012 September 21: Secretary of State Clinton says “what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack.”
2012 September 25: In his address to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama makes repeated references to the video, but never mentions terrorism. Then he goes on ABC’s The View and, when asked about Clinton’s statement that “what happened in Benghazi was a terrorist attack”, Obama blames “extremist militias” and says “we’re still doing an investigation.”
2012 September 26: Libyan president Magarief tells NBC there was no protest prior to the armed assault against the consulate.
2012 September 27: Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta says it’s “clear that there were terrorists who planned that attack.”
2012 September 28: The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), James Clapper, issues a statement kinda sorta taking the blame for maybe saying there had been a protest that got out of control. (Clapper was appointed by Obama in 2010 and is subject to his authority, direction, and control.)
2012 October 3: FBI investigators finally arrive at the crime scene in Benghazi, which has been unsecured since September 11. (One wonders what exactly constituted all the alleged “investigating” Obama et al. had been claiming they were doing. Isn’t securing the crime scene the FIRST thing you’re supposed to do?)
2012 October 6: U.N. Ambassador Rice says when she was yapping on all those t.v. shows about the video, she had “relied solely and squarely on the information the intelligence community provided to me and other senior U.S. officials.”
2012 October 7: The White House Disinformation Campaign on Libya Summarized [2:52]
2012 October 9: Senior State Department officials for the first time acknowledge that there was never any protest in Benghazi. Then they blame the whole “blame the video” thing on the intelligence community.
2012 October 10: Both Lt. Col. Andy Wood (head of the SST the State Department pulled out of Libya in August) and Eric Nordstrom (the State Department’s Regional Security Officer) testify at a House Oversight Committee hearing about how their repeated requests for more security in Libya were denied by Washington. Their testimony is confirmed by cables made public by Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).
2012 October 11: During the vice presidential debate, Biden says, “We weren’t told they wanted more security there.” He also blames the administration’s shifting explanations about the attack on the intelligence community.
2012 October 22: Members of the February 17 Brigade tasked with guarding the Benghazi consulate say that, on August 28, 2012, they received a tip about a possible attack on the diplomatic compound and that on the morning of 9/11, the consulate asked them to increase security, but later, for some unknown reason, said to never mind.
2012 October 23-24: ABC, CBS and Reuters all release the three emails reproduced above. Reuters notes, “The timing of the emails is consistent with what a senior State Department official told reporters at a briefing on Oct. 9.”
2012 October 24: When asked about the emails, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the White House knew about those emails as soon as they were received. The word he used was “instantaneously.”
2012 October 26: Fox reported that three urgent requests for military assistance for the Benghazi consulate were sent from the CIA annex. SOMEBODY told the CIA operators they were to stand down. Two former Navy SEALS, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, were at the CIA annex. They wanted to go help defend the consulate. They were ordered to stay put, but DISOBEYED that order. Both died heroically, trying to protect the ambassador and his staff.
I was talking about all this with Dearest and mentioned my blog of Oct 15, 2012 (see URL below) where I showed how President Carter’s approval ratings had gone above 50% for four months after our Tehran embassy personnel had been taken hostage. And I said, “I bet Obama was pissed they murdered Stevens instead of taking him hostage.”
Dearest said he would not be at all surprised if Obama had actually organized the whole thing. I was skeptical at first, but when he laid out his reasoning, I had to admit, disgusting as it is, it’s also plausible.
Suppose Obama made a deal with the Muslim Brotherhood, or somebody like them, to swoop into an unprotected compound on 9/11 and take Stevens hostage. And suppose that it was only because Doherty and Woods disobeyed orders to sit on their hands that said attackers found themselves getting shot at by two highly trained Navy SEALS.
Would not the likely outcome be that the attackers would assume they had been taken for suckers and take out their anger at Obama by publicly brutalizing and murdering the guy they were supposed to just kidnap?
Keep in mind, please, that we have NO EVIDENCE this is what happened. It just seems to make a lot of sense of all of the above, KWIM?
Consider if Stevens had been kidnapped and the American people had acted the way we usually do, rallying around in support of our leader during a time of national crisis. We could easily have been headed toward a sure Obama win on November 6th.
We may owe our national salvation to two heroic Navy SEALS. Had they survived, they would surely have been court-martialed. They knew that and ran into battle anyway, because it was the right thing to do.
It would be poetic to learn this is all true, seeing as it was Navy SEALS who risked their lives to get Osama bin Laden, only to have Obama claim all the credit then blab their identities and operational secrets to our enemies.
Citizen’s Demand to Slash U.S. Funding of the United Nations
Whereas, the United States spends as much as a whopping 2 BILLION TAX DOLLARS in annual dues payments to the United Nations;
Whereas, there are also the “voluntary payments,” which means in total, we paid a whopping $7.7 billion to the UN in fiscal year 2010 — an estimated 27 percent of all UN expenses and more than all of the other permanent members of the Security Council combined;
Whereas, this money is used to provide a platform for nations who despise us and oppose our American values of democracy, justice, free enterprise, privacy and private property rights;
Whereas, our tax dollars are paying for a rag-tag collection of dictators and socialists to propagandize and work against our security and economic interests;
Whereas, the thanks that we get for the generations of Americans who fought in the trenches of France during World War I and stormed the shores of Normandy, as well as died to defend freedom in countless other places around the world is blistering criticism;
Whereas, when we try to isolate the rogue dictatorships that are developing nuclear weapons and other threats to our and the world’s security, we are often met with NO votes and multiple veto threats, while the UN eagerly hosts the likes of Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez, who come to our soil and attack and insult our nation;
Whereas, when the United States rushed to help the injured, starving and dying in the wake of the massive earthquake in Haiti, we were accused by a UN official of trying to “occupy” the nation;
Whereas, the UN is worse than a wasteful, bloated paper tiger — it is a paper tiger intent on biting the hand that feeds it — the United States of America;
I, therefore, demand that we SLASH the billions of tax dollars we spend on the United Nations!
