&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Constantia;font-size:130%;color:#000080;"&gt;This is sad commentary on our country, its government and the private sector it appears to hold on a very short leash.

Our sponsors pulled out a couple weeks ago and though we&lt;br /&gt;tried mightily to get others we have come up dry.  It appears that the&lt;br /&gt;money guys on our side of the argument are running scared from the&lt;br /&gt;current political climate.  The Park Service is going to pull our&lt;br /&gt;permits for lack of resources; simply put, no portalets or EMT&lt;br /&gt;services means no rally.  I apologize for any inconvenience this&lt;br /&gt;causes, but there's is simply nothing we can do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We had commitments from Capt. Phillips of the Somali pirates event,&lt;br /&gt;Marcus Luttrell USN SEAL (Lone Survivor), former Congressman  Duncan&lt;br /&gt;Hunter, Pat Dollard, various Blue and Gold Star family members, three&lt;br /&gt;separate musical acts, a potential video up link to Iraq, the 9/11&lt;br /&gt;chopper, dragsters painted to represent the different services and an&lt;br /&gt;after party at the Hard Rock Cafe.  Unfortunately, the hard work&lt;br /&gt;expended to put this together, by a number of people will now be for&lt;br /&gt;naught.  Please don't let this discourage your efforts.  It is all the&lt;br /&gt;more important that we redouble our efforts concerning our heroes in&lt;br /&gt;the desert.  I hope you all understand how difficult it is for me to&lt;br /&gt;send this message.  Thank you for all your efforts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;Having made plans to cover it live onsite on The Dame Truth and with my partner and cohost drkate on Constitutional Radio, I was more than a little distressed to learn of this turn of events. Once again, it seems our Military is getting shorted on everything but combat time. I put a call in to Chris to learn more, and to confirm a guest spot on Monday's Dame and we got to talking about the kind of political climate in which any and every entity and individual must calculate their actions and retract offers of good works &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;out of fear from government repercussion.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;To begin with, let me make this crystal clear:  these &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;backers contacted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; Gathering of Eagles to offer financial assistance toward producing the June 13 rally. It was their intention to support our troops via the rally &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;until they became aware that doing so could bode ill for them in the current political climate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt; Of course, my immediate response was, "Who Are These People?!" [ I wanted to organize a boycott of whatever corporate interests they represented]. However, it appears that they were private individuals, at least for the moment. Here is where it gets dicey: how DOES one go about seeking to right a wrong without making the situation worse? I have not yet been able to satisfactorily answer that question in this case but suffice to say, it niggles at me and I will NOT let it go until I have done all that I can to get to the bottom of it and shed the light of truth upon it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;So. These backers approached Gathering of Eagles. The Chairman flew down to meet with them and they asked him what he needed. Chris laid out the program for them and was effectively given a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;carte blanche &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;until a short time ago, when they informed him that the funding would be withdrawn. Aside from that terse message, they had no more communication with GOE, refusing to answer emails and phone calls. And so, I'm wondering just WHAT they're afraid of. I mean, aside from the fact that&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Cambria;color:#000080;"&gt;1) Yesterday the Administration said they' d seek to minimize benefits to corporate CEOs regardles of whether they received TARP benefits or not; and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Cambria;font-size:130%;color:#000080;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;2)  I hear the word from Justice is that there's been  some niggling in administration  over nationalizing oil industry...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there we have it...for the moment. Oilmen are feeling antsy about being targeted by the Administration to the extent that they would pull funding for a rally for the troops. And this administration has the temerity to pose as a Constitutional entity??&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;bwssnino;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-8616876915396675472?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/8616876915396675472/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=8616876915396675472' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/8616876915396675472'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/8616876915396675472'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2009/05/is-it-scoundrel-time-yet.html' title='Is It Scoundrel Time Yet?'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sg3Y6h_2KjI/AAAAAAAAAOM/EhlJ-0EjOl8/s72-c/ladylibertycrying.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-8556222215250655405</id><published>2009-05-13T08:57:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-13T08:57:53.907-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Round Up the Usual Suspects:  Talk Rado...AGAIN??</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SgrrJx5AMgI/AAAAAAAAAN8/GpX4wGlUQts/s1600-h/virus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 109px; height: 110px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SgrrJx5AMgI/AAAAAAAAAN8/GpX4wGlUQts/s200/virus.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335335261817549314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Camille Paglia's&lt;a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/05/13/7_days_in_may/index.html"&gt; Salon.com  piece today&lt;/a&gt; questions whether "&lt;span class="letter_teaser"&gt;The assassination jokes and "liberal" conspiracy theories on talk radio could be an ominous sign of things to come," invoking names like Knebel, Serling and Frankenheimer, [&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_in_May"&gt;Seven Days in May&lt;/a&gt; , one of whose characters, General James Scott,  says,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;And if you want to talk about your oath of office, I'm here to tell you face to face, President Lyman, that you violated that oath when you stripped this country of its muscles - when you deliberately played upon the fear and fatigue of the people and told them they could remove that fear by the stroke of a pen. And then when this nation rejected you, lost faith in you, and began militantly to oppose you, you violated that oath by not resigning from office and turning the country over to someone who could represent the people of the United States],&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="letter_teaser"&gt;Feherty, Limbaugh, and Sykes, and studiously avoiding names like Obama, Soetoro and Conyers with regard to her fears for our nation, suggesting that talk radio is undermining the authority and dignity of the presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My answer to that is it is &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NOT&lt;/span&gt; talk radio that is undermining the authority and dignity of the presidency. That job has already been fullfilled, and then some, by the current residents of the White House with their grotesquely lavish slap-in-the-face-of-the-American-people-who-are-losing-everything parties, wantonly terrorizing New Yorkers with a dangerous, disrespectful, expensive and &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;unnecessary&lt;/span&gt; flyover of lower Manhattan, bowing to a Saudi prince, insulting long time British allies, insisting that all references to Jesus be removed FROM A GEORGETOWN CHAPEL, laughing at inane, obscene comics like Wanda Sykes, passing bill after nefarious bill under cover of darkness, including but not limited to $20 Million for room, board and passage of Hamas to America, cooling toward Israel, and, in general, acting like the pathetically stupid, garish clowns that they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and did I mention the issue of refusing to provide ANY records of birth, education, work product, writing or otherwise usually freely offered by public officials to the American public?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, too there's that ACORN/White House Census thing, formerly a legislative purview, now &lt;a href="http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-2684-Law-Enforcement-Examiner%7Ey2009m5d13-Allegedly-corrupt-former-mayor-and-ACORN-to-oversee-2010-Census"&gt;commandeered by partisan thugs&lt;/a&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, lest we forget under the tutelage of main stream media's constant stream of Kool Aid, there's that pesky list of criminal associations from Chicago and abroad, a Usurper's wife who asserts that she has never been proud of America, and a Usurper who refuses to participate in National Prayer Day...&lt;br /&gt;As usual, THAT'S just the tip of the befouled iceberg that continues to glide over our country from DC and parts unknown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DIGNITY???

That, in itself, would be an outrage, were it not for the fact that Hawaii is one of THE MOST racist, intolerant states in the country, replete with rudeness and intimidation directed at anyone white, light eyed or light haired.  [Bear in mind, now, that THIS is the state in which Barry Soetoro is purported to have spent several of his formative years].  See  May 6th''s&lt;a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/2009/05/06/todays-ayfkm-award-hawaii-islam-day/"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://logisticsmonster.com/2009/05/06/todays-ayfkm-award-hawaii-islam-day/" href="http://logisticsmonster.com/2009/05/06/todays-ayfkm-award-hawaii-islam-day/"&gt;Logistics Monster AYFKM&lt;/a&gt; for first hand account on that one.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And now for the Worst of the Day.  World Net Daily calls it "Shocking to the Conscience," a term once used in SCOTUS decisions to indicate...well...things so abominable that  they...shock the conscience.  Today's Conscience Banger is the new&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97218"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" mce_href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97218" href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97218"&gt;hate crime legislation passed by the House of Representatives  &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97218"&gt;wherein&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"House of Representatives passed legislation last week &lt;a href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97115" mce_href="http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=97115"&gt;to add sexual orientation and gender to the list of categories covered by federal "hate-crimes" laws. &lt;/a&gt;'Pedophilia is one of the scores of sexual orientations that are included, that are protected, that are granted special preferred status under this legislation to the exclusion of other classifications of people,' says Matt Barber of &lt;a href="http://www.lc.org/" mce_href="http://www.lc.org/"&gt;Liberty Counsel".&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;Except that...illegal acts are NOT protected under the law, the Constitution or anything else.  BECAUSE THEY ARE ILLEGAL.  As the old saw states, our right to free expression does NOT include the right to yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater because it is detrimental to the freedom of OTHERS.  Ergo, anyone doing something against the law DOES NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO IT. THEY ARE NOT PROTECTED BECAUSE IT IS ILLEGAL AND VIOLATES THE EITHER THE SPIRIT OF OUR LAWS OR THE PERSONAL FREEDOM OF OTHERS.  Hence, killing people and stealing their money, their innocence or their peace of mind are NOT protected actions.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Truly, we have a Congress of morons.  Craven cretins who neither know the law nor the spirit of it, the intention behind it or anything else having to do with--dare I say it--Common Sense.  This Congress, few to none of whose children are going to war, refused to include the protection of Veterans in this legislation, but they are entirely willing to protect the rights of those who would violate the rights of others.  For what else is a pedophile if not one who is so cavalier and self absorbed that they would violate children?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I'm done. Stick a fork in me.  There is no hope of reasoning with a Congress so uninterested in everything but their own full, life long pensions.  Clearly they have either forgotten their World History class or never had it, or they would heed the lesson of the tumbrils and remember that cake thing with a healthy concern.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h6&gt;bwssnino;)&lt;br /&gt;

Thus, a hat tip to &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/10/us/politics/10memo.html"&gt;Jeff Zeleny&lt;/a&gt; and, miracle of miracles, the New York Times, for suddenly and inexplicably printing some truth where Barry Soetoro is concerned. In his April 9 Washington Memo, Zeleny wastes no time getting to the meat of the matter in what is perhaps one of the most sagely salient columns he's written. Says he, "[Obama] is not a mortgage broker. But...[he] seemed to be playing one on television, urging Americans not to miss out on rock-bottom refinancing rates."&lt;br /&gt;But wait--there's more. And, while it gets worse for the erstwhile Resident, it gets better for us, as we begin to catch a glimmer of--dare I invoke that heinous sham of a word--*hope* that at long last, one small voice in the endless parade of main stream media hucksters has not only seen the light [how could one not??!] but is willing to run against the tide with his pen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it is true that characterizing the Resident as TV Salesman is overly kind, indeed it's a start, for everything this creature does is an outrage and an embarrassment, not only to the American people, but to himself. From the utter arrogance and ignorance of returning a Churchill bust, which belonged NOT to HIM, but to the American People, to blubbering and babbling mindlessly when caught in the headlights of a malfunctioning teleprompter, to bowing and scraping to Islamic surrogates in the person of Saudi leaders, appearing on late night television like some third rate stand up comedian wherein he insulted, among others, those in the Special Olympics who have actually WORKED to ACHIEVE something, to associating with the dregs of society and employing many of them as his minions, to the weekly, wild, lavish parties filled with Kobe beef and god-knows-what-else, this "administration," in less than three months, has indeed accomplished more than any other American president: the complete and utter shaming of the office of POTUS and the bankrupting of the treasury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the endless list of stellar abominations was the hiring of &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/04/us/politics/04disclose.html"&gt;Lawrence Summers&lt;/a&gt;, a top economic adviser who received payments last year from firms over which he now has influence. Mr. Summers, one remembers, [or perhaps not] is the individual whose premise was that women are stupid, or at least, stupider than men, claiming that, "women are inferior to men in their ability to excel at math and science." One can only imagine that clamour that would have arisen had the infamous "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Curve-Intelligence-Structure-Paperbacks/dp/0684824299/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1239381868&amp;amp;sr=1-1"&gt;Bell Curve&lt;/a&gt;" authors Herrnstein and Murray been appointed to serve, THEIR premise being that people of color can't help being stupid, they're just born that way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it goes. A flicker of hope, coming, of all places, from the NY Times, proving that indeed, Redemption exists. On a higher note, many, many heartful thanks to Gold Star Mother Debbie Lee of&lt;a href="http://www.americasmightywarriors.org/"&gt; http://www.americasmightywarriors.org/&lt;/a&gt; for speedy response to my call through &lt;a href="http://stevemaloneygop.blogspot.com/"&gt;Steve Maloney&lt;/a&gt; for urgent troop support. Thanks to Debbie, half the request has been filled, and Sgt. Sanchez and his section will have what they need as they redeploy to the combat zone. Chris Hill, executive director of &lt;a href="http://www.gatheringofeagles.org/"&gt;Gathering of Eagles&lt;/a&gt; has graciously offered to pick up the rest of the project and both will be appearing on "&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/The-Dame-Truth"&gt;The Dame Truth&lt;/a&gt;" and "&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Central-Park-7"&gt;Kicking Back&lt;/a&gt;" in the near future. Stay tuned for updates, and tune in this Monday night at 8 EST to hear Dr. Orly Taitz speak on tomorrow's Studio City Tea Party, attended by my cohost Patriot Rose, and other breaking news.&lt;br /&gt;Wishing Spring's Peace &amp;amp; Redemption to all~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;bwssnino;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-5891287756773058898?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/5891287756773058898/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=5891287756773058898' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5891287756773058898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5891287756773058898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2009/04/his-wonders-to-behold-redemption.html' title='His Wonders to Behold: Redemption!'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sd-9aOj41LI/AAAAAAAAALo/6bdWUYre0dg/s72-c/whiterabbit.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-4136774939801840559</id><published>2009-03-28T13:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-28T13:26:00.560-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Spring Into Tea Time</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sc5tnDf6XRI/AAAAAAAAAKo/P3LHsDMJtLk/s1600-h/Lulu+3+mos.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sc5tnDf6XRI/AAAAAAAAAKo/P3LHsDMJtLk/s200/Lulu+3+mos.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318308727692614930" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The warmth of the Spring sun toasts the patio stones to the temperature of a hot rocks massage, and I am blessed this day to be able to watch an old dog snooze on their warmth as I watch a puppy cavort in the grass. Yes, life goes on--amidst war and worry, terror and trial, here and abroad, we must all remember to savor these small spaces in time where life goes on as usual, and rejoice in the gifts it brings as we make ready our plans to speak out against that which threatens to bring us down. A great many thanks to the Usual Suspects--those bright bastions of light amidst the dark who grace and embrace us with fact, sort it from MSM fiction, and give us the kind of REAL hope that springs eternal in the hearts and minds of Americans near and far. &lt;a href="http://worldnetdaily.com/"&gt; Worldnet Daily&lt;/a&gt;, who reports &lt;a href="http://forums.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=343"&gt;Bob Basso's summons&lt;/a&gt; to the White House after his hugely successful, oft viewed &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYscnFpEyA"&gt;Youtube "Thomas Paine" video&lt;/a&gt; came into their sights; who maintains an updated &lt;a href="http://forums.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=343"&gt;Tea Party site&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2009/03/white-house-summons-bob-basso-thomas.html"&gt;Maggie's Notebook&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2009/03/26/is-the-us-governmenthomeland-security-stalking-this-guy/"&gt;Texas Darlin' &lt;/a&gt;, who have been diligent in reporting government surveillance on Bob Basso and&lt;a href="http://stephenpidgeon.com/"&gt; Stephen Pidgeon&lt;/a&gt;, [our very own "&lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Ny-Two-Cents"&gt;Constitutional Radio&lt;/a&gt;'s" guest this Tuesday, March 31 at 10:00 PM!] and others who dare to speak out, and of course, first, last and always, our inimitable&lt;a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/"&gt; Logistics Monster&lt;/a&gt;, who not only reports the truth the few knew, but also those who watch her, in the hope for a more transparent society all around! After all...Fair is Fair...and Those Who Watch must realize that Watching must be a two way street in a Democratic Republic. There are, in fact, so many hard working, patriotic Americans involved in the fight for their country now, both home and abroad that it would be impossible to include them all in one post--my blogroll is long, and though by no means exhaustive, a good place to start--but rest assured, no perusal of patriotism is complete without checking and supporting these fine sites: &lt;a href="http://therightsideoflife.com/"&gt;The Right Side of Life&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://patdollard.com/"&gt;Pat Dollard&lt;/a&gt;'s growing coalition American Constitution and Capitalism Defense Front [&lt;a href="http://patdollard.com/2009/03/the-active-mission-statement-is-here/"&gt;ACCDF/ACTIVE&lt;/a&gt;] and &lt;a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stations/HeadingRight/patdollard"&gt;radio show&lt;/a&gt;.  And, too, the tireless efforts of&lt;a href="http://defendourfreedoms.us/"&gt; Orly Taitz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://puzo1.blogspot.com/"&gt;Mario Apuzzo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://obamacrimes.com/"&gt;Phil Berg&lt;/a&gt; and Teo at &lt;a href="http://birthers.com/"&gt;Birthers.org&lt;/a&gt;. Just a word of caution to all: Keep those Tea Parties going, and beware gov't. efforts to keep them hidden, cancelled and unattended. MSM has yet to report any of the massive wave of these grassroots efforts that have been taking place around the country, and as organizers of the April 1 &lt;a href="http://www.winknews.com/news/local/42019772.html"&gt;Tea Party in Cape Coral, FL&lt;/a&gt; learned, if "too many" people plan to attend, municipalities can cancel these events unless permits and insurance are purchased in advance. Cape Coral's event portended a turn out of more than 500 people and thus, authorities prevailed upon Lynn Rosko to obtain permit and insurance. But, we continue to forge ahead on our path of patriotism, to educate others and to make ourselves heard, and we must salute not only our troops and patriotic leaders, but, too, the thin ranks of main stream media who have the courage and conviction to speak out about that which is wrong: &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/"&gt;Michelle Malkin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://http//the912project.com/"&gt;Glenn Beck&lt;/a&gt;'s 912 Project,&lt;a href="http://gretawire.com/"&gt; Gretawire&lt;/a&gt;...you know who you are--and a great big hat tip to you all!&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sc53_rUOejI/AAAAAAAAAKw/NzC-eCx7xIE/s1600-h/Oiseaux+sur+le+chapeau+9_2003+Aruba.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 146px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sc53_rUOejI/AAAAAAAAAKw/NzC-eCx7xIE/s200/Oiseaux+sur+le+chapeau+9_2003+Aruba.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5318320145814157874" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;  Happy Spring, Happy Tea Time and Happy Birthday Patriotism!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, remember--our Founding Fathers were at once wily and wise--the perfect recipe for a nation of freedom!&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"There is danger from all men.

Lady Liberty continues to sob as the Heavens rain down all manner of affront upon us.   Things are happening so fast that few are able to comprehend the true nature of what has befallen us.  Indeed, "Now is the time for all good men [and women] to come to the aid of their country."  Stay tuned as people join Restore the Republic, ACCDF, The Patriotic Resistance at Resistnet.com, and the Shantytowns swell past capacity across our sad and sorry nation.  But WE ARE AMERICANS and we WILL survive to bring our country and our Constitution through this challenge safely!  As redlemur suggests, fly that Gadsden flag in your yard, display that Constitution in your front window!  [Both of which can be had with the click of the wrist by going to http:///logisticsmonster.com!], start the conversations and the dialogs that get people involved and remind everyone that we are Americans and we are not going anywhere!

While it has not yet passed in the Senate, a motion for cloture was passed, to stop debate and filibustering. Our &lt;a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/"&gt;Logistics Monster&lt;/a&gt;, Savante Extroadinaire, has been monitoring the process for us, and for further enlightenment, I refer readers to her at &lt;a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/"&gt;http://logisticsmonster.com,&lt;/a&gt; where blow by blow updates continue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge all to join us tonight at 8:30 PM EST on www.blogtalkradio.com/The-Youtube-Forum as I co host tonight to discuss this and other First Amendment horrors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Newspeak: In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Orwell" title="George Orwell"&gt;George Orwell&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nineteen_Eighty-Four" title="Nineteen Eighty-Four"&gt;Nineteen Eighty-Four&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictional_language" title="Fictional language"&gt;fictional language&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak" title="Newspeak"&gt;Newspeak&lt;/a&gt; attempts to influence thought by influencing the expressiveness of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language" title="English language"&gt;English language&lt;/a&gt;.  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;bwssnino&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-5482029140875267777?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/5482029140875267777/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=5482029140875267777' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5482029140875267777'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5482029140875267777'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2009/03/newspeak-or-how-to-violate-13th.html' title='Newspeak or, How to Violate the 13th Amendment in One Easy Lesson'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/ScrHDANzZII/AAAAAAAAAKI/Cpc_XJZ4hAQ/s72-c/statueoflibertycrying.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-1252850929869493263</id><published>2009-03-13T23:13:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T23:13:52.320-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Revolution '09</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.notoriouslyconservative.com/2009/03/thomas-jeffersons-words-of-wisdom.html"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 183px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/Sbs9QW-aBMI/AAAAAAAAAIw/uC2BaMP2ifo/s200/thomasjefferson.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312907536668165314" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;You say you want a revolution well you know...it's all right.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glenn Beck's Project 912 show yesterday evening at 5 PM EST [rebroadcast tonight at 9 PM EST on FNC] drew huge audiences nationwide. I received calls from as far south as Hawaii and as far north as Canada, and the flood of email alerts, blogs and sites announcing it brought so many people to &lt;a href="http://the912project.com/"&gt;www.the912project.com&lt;/a&gt; that within minutes, the site shut down and as of 1 AM EST, remains closed with the 403 notice displayed, along with the ominous "Forbidden" message.&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h1&gt;           Forbidden&lt;/h1&gt; You don't have permission to access / on this server.&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;address&gt;Apache/1.3.33 Server at www.912projecttest.com Port 80&lt;/address&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;We who know little of the inner workings of bandwidth, traffic and server capacities were left to wonder whether, like so many other examples of recently scrubbed, shut down and removed material, the Beck site was also suppressed. Many are wondering how, amidst so much suppression and propagandizing, Beck's show even manages to stay on the air. Only time will tell whether Apache is able to correct the problem or whether the White House On Air [WHOA] suppression team is at it again. Given their recent activity with Wickipedia, Youtube, Google and some of the social networking sites, it is hard not to at least wonder whether indeed, they decided to crash Beck's site as well. However, absent proof, it is folly to jump to conclusions, even though the temptation is there . While we must be vigilant and proactive within our rights and laws, there is no reason to succumb to paranoia and panic. We are a nation of some 300 Million people--for the most part, hard working, law abiding, Americans who all want basically the same things: honest government, honest work for honest pay, respect for our Constitution and Bill of Rights and those who wrote and ratified them. While it continues to look as though government no longer has our best interests at heart, most of us believe that we will not allow ourselves to fall victim to a series of despots, private banking cabals, corporate special interests and self serving public officials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is both interesting and heartening to see so many of us harkening back to the times of our War for Independence from the Crown, invoking words and wisdom of our forefathers and taking heart from their courage. Now more than ever we seek and find resolve and motivation from their writings and as we see people like &lt;a href="http://www.tsrn.us/blog/2009/03/13/glenn-beck-and-the-9-principles-and-12-values-you-are-not-alone/"&gt;Glenn Beck&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/"&gt;Michelle Malkin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://patdollard.com/2009/03/the-american-constitution-and-capitalism-defense-front-is-here/"&gt;ACTIVE&lt;/a&gt;, websites like &lt;a href="http://logisticsmonster.com/"&gt;Logistics Monster&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://notoriouslyconservative.com/"&gt;Notoriously Conservative&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/"&gt;Insight Analytica&lt;/a&gt;l and &lt;a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/"&gt;Atlas Shrugs&lt;/a&gt;,  and the plethora of patriotic, passionate Americans, committed to preserving and protecting our nation, we know that&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; that&lt;/span&gt; Revolution was not fought in vain, and we shall continue to carry forward both word and deed of our forbears as we stand up for our Constitution.

The Google Twins &amp;amp; Sparkle Plenty led the charge last year during the *sudden* emergence of a usurper with NO traceable history between the ages of 10 and 47. Main scream media colluded and collided with Those Who Would Dare To Seek and Report Truth, and, since then, nary a word can be found containing any but the most mellifluous of fairy tales regarding the current Resident of the White House. And, the model continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the help of countless, witless official pronouncements from, among others, a judge, a congressperson and other sundry souls, we are told that Twitter has decided the eligibility issue [Judge Robertson, brainfree zone extraordinaire], Snopes dot com, a left leaning husband and wife team working from a basement office has decided the eligibility issue according to Arizona's Sen. Jon Kyle-R; and, last but sadly not least, Senator Mel Martinez assures us that the voters have decided the eligibility issue, contrary to any mandates of our silly old, outdated Constitution. Is it any wonder that the movement to fire the entire Congress enjoys huge gains daily??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between the fact that few, if any Americans [including, worst of all, apparently, most of Congress, judging by the mountain of inane, insane, erroneous replies to concerned constituents] these days have even the remotest idea as to what the Constitution says OR what it means, and the fact that there is clearly an all out attempt to eradicate any relevant facts about the Usurper or anyone else deemed to have messy, inexplicable gaps or otherwise nefarious acts in their history, it is a miracle that anyone has any information at all. And THAT is precisely the objective of Those Who Would Presume to Rule. If an informed electorate is requisite for a Democratic Republic to function effectively, what better way to thwart it than remove all information? The latest of these Thousand little Coups, as I call them, finds us at the site of Wikipedia, the latest of the "information arbiters" to fall under the auspices of the Obama Cleansing Machine. [Factcheck, Snopes and others have long since been exposed as Obama apologists].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;As is required on that online encyclopedia, entries are to be substantiated by third-party media articles. One piece about the question of Obama's eligibility cited the Chicago Tribune and &lt;a href="http://worldnetdaily.com/"&gt;WorldNetDaily.com&lt;/a&gt;. The entry was posted on Feb. 24, at 6:16 p.m. EST. Just three minutes later, it was removed by a Wikipedia administrator, claiming the posting violated the websites rules against "fringe" material. When the user tried to repost the entry a second time, another administrator removed it within minutes, banning the them from posting for three days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Angela Beesley Starling, a Wikipedia spokesperson, explained to WND that all the website's encyclopedia content is monitored by users. She said the administrators who deleted the entries are volunteers.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Administrators," Starling said, "are simply people who are trusted by the other community members to have access to some extra tools that allow them to delete pages and perform other tasks that help the encyclopedia. Wikipedia, the seventh most trafficked website on the Internet, maintains content monitored by users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href="http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:Io3pgFeFfMYJ:www.worldnetdaily.com/%3FpageId%3D91114+Jerusalem21&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;Worldnet Daily&lt;/a&gt;, a Google search for the words "Barack Obama" brings up the president's Wikipedia page in the top four choices, following two links to Obama's official websites. &lt;a href="http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:Io3pgFeFfMYJ:www.worldnetdaily.com/%3FpageId%3D91114+Jerusalem21&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;The entire Wikipedia entry on Obama&lt;/a&gt; seems to be heavily promotional toward the U.S. president. It contains nearly no criticism or controversy, including appropriate mention of important issues where relevant. The Wikipedia entry about former President George W. Bush, by contrast, is highly critical, mentioning his history of alcohol abuse, and questions of possible insider trading involving Harken.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And so it goes...but the Internet moves on, oblivious to these blatant, foolish attempts to violate our First Amendment Rights. *They* may have thought that Goebels's, Alinsky's and other models of fact suppression would work as they once did. They were wrong, however, for now we have the Internet--a wild, wild West of a thing, sprawling far beyond anyone's capacity to shut it down, suppress facts or control its usage. We can read, write and hear as many Discouraging Words as we please, thank you very much, and through those words, begin to decipher the facts about what is being perpetrated upon the American people and by whom...all the better to rectify! The tumbrils roll...&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;bwssnino&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-5370589502439671292?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/5370589502439671292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=5370589502439671292' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5370589502439671292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/5370589502439671292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2009/03/where-never-is-heard-discouraging.html' title='Where Never is Heard a Discouraging Word...Especially from Wiki'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SbcXjEPb1NI/AAAAAAAAAIg/riClMhu2ORU/s72-c/redquillink.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-3304737946333007898</id><published>2009-03-10T17:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T17:54:43.252-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='WAM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lewis B.

His ability to simplify, reduce and articulate even the direst of situations into a workable solution is a power of example to all who now suffer the daily onslaught of shock, fear, disbelief,  outrage and confusion wrought by American political and economic events of the last year.  It is not enough to say, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."  We need to know WHERE to go, and how; and what to do when we get there.  We need to know how to harness our rage and indignation--you know, the kind of choleric, redfaced rage that sends steam from the ears, flames from the mouth, and sets off screeching  red strobe lights behind the eyes...the kind that pumps cortisol into the bloodstream so fast that the heart takes on a life of its own, and the lungs do doubletime through flaring nostrils...the kind of rage that  is fueled only by terrible fear and terrible injustice.  Well, as General Puller said...this simplifies our problem.  Acceptance is half the battle--and Action the other.   Knowledge of the terrain, native population, resources and, most of all, one's opponent is crucial.  Realizing that main stream media is neither a friend nor a resource in any positive way, and accepting the fact that hundreds of thousands if not millions of pleas to congress have fallen on deaf ears, we must learn to be our own source of information and supply.  We must support and attend Tea Parties, join proactive groups like&lt;a href="http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/"&gt; American Patriot&lt;/a&gt;, ACTIVE, We The People and WAM, learn how to prepare and plan for emergencies and find ways to remain centered above the fray of fear, rage and feelings of helplessness.  For WE ARE AMERICANS:  We have lived through winters at Valley Forge, stormed enemy strongholds considered impossible to breach, and sacrificed to keep our Constitution, our Freedoms and our Country intact.

Its function in the world has long been clear: to show great pors the limits of their power.First it was the British, who in 1842, at the height of empire, were defeated and expelled. The Soviets invaded in 1979, only to encounter a fierce insurgency that forced their withdrawal. Now it's America's turn to marvel at Afghanistan's immunity to outside control.Afghanistan was once among our sterling military successes -- a war, predicted by skeptics to be a certain quagmire, that produced a swift and stunning victory. The triumph came in 2001, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks mounted by al-Qaida, which had enjoyed a safe haven in this corner of South Asia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But that was a long time ago, and the longer we stay, the worse things get. 2007, the deadliest year of the war for the American military, gave way to an even bloodier year 2008. Extremist attacks are on the rise, and the Taliban now has "a permanent presence in 72 percent of Afghanistan, up from 54 percent a year ago," says a report by the International Council on Security and Development.Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has predicted things will get worse this year. President Hamid Karzai's government is widely seen as weak and corrupt. And, not least important, Osama bin Laden is still [considered] at large and issuing taped calls for jihad. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/02/failing_in_afghanistan.html&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Michael Yon, in his inimitable brilliance, tells us with detailed reports and incredible photos--six months before February 26th's Camp Le Jeune speech-- just where our troops are heading in his October 13, 2008 piece, "The Road to Hell." Having had unsatisfactory results embedding in American troops via main stream media, Michael self propelled into Afghanistan last fall on his own with two guides to cover much ground. What he learned should be well remembered. Today's Washington Post resonates his caveats in Pamela Constable's&lt;br /&gt;"Tactical Success, Strategic Defeat": Afghan Outrage at U.S. Raid Highlights Challenges Facing New Military Push.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It seems almost as though, rather than reinstitute the Dreaded Draft, the government is working overtime [well...at LEAST they're working at SOMETHING--I mean BESIDES plundering the Treasury and the American People] to devise ways in which to sneak laws of compulsory service past us under the guise of 'civilian' works. Atheonews explains some of the plans at http://atheonews.blogspot.com/2009/02/democrats-introduce-public-national.html&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And that's not even counting the ravages being perpetrated upon our economy at home!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And so the challenges continue both at home and abroad. Countless groups and coalitions have formed and grown stronger as increasing numbers of Americans rise up in rage at what their once trusted government has been perpetrating against them, their values, and their sense of justice and love of country.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Tonight, however, brings a special brand of patriot to the forefront in the person of Pat Dollard, former Hollywood talent agent turned film maker in his mission to report the truth about Iraq and our troops there. His courage is unprecedented, as, twice wounded, he stuck with the Marines he was covering, earning their undying respect for the job he did. He continues his journey in activism as he talks about the formation of his latest initiative, a PAC entitled ACTIVE, which stands for the American Constitution And Capitalism Defense Front.

Troops interviewed post speech were strictly coached to keep the focus on themselves and their own opinions and refrain from attributing anything they had heard with the words, "Mr. Obama said...."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;In the meantime, however, our country continues to stumble as it struggles, in shocked stupor, reeling from the blows smote upon it from the current resident of the White House in the face of the passing of unread HR1 and all its hidden earmarks.  But, lest one doubt the resolve, intelligence and inventiveness of the American People, I remind you all that we are a hearty bunch, independent in nature, loving of country, family and friends, and have been known worldwide as a stalwart nation of committed patriots whose courage to fight for their country never wanes until victory is won.  From the Boston Tea Party to the American Declaration of Independence, Wars of Revolution and of 1812,  our Marines fighting their way up Iwo Jima,  that a crucial airfield exist for long Pacific sorties, to Vietnam, won many times over with the courage of our troops, and the wars of the Middle East, we who call ourselves Americans never give up when the going gets tough, and never since our Revolution has it been more tough than it is  now, in these United States.&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;Suffice to say, without reiteration, that these are truly the times that try our souls.  For the first time since the mid 19th century, many states are asserting their individual sovereignty and rights under the 10th Amendment, while it is rumored that moves are being considered in Congress to block those very rights before more of them form resolutions.  Our nation's people have suffered insult upon injury as their representatives in Congress meet their pleas with derision, dead ears or disinformation.   And, is if that weren't enough, there are whispered though as yet unconfirmed rumors of secret agreements by our government to grant eminent domain as collateral to China for its debts, no longer payable.  With the secretively passed Global Poverty Act, this administration as quadrupled our foreign aid while those at home lose jobs, homes and health care. Loving families can no longer keep their animals and must put them up for adoption and there is talk of Sharia law knocking at our doors as a man beheads his wife because she sued for divorce from his violence.  Our Constitution continues to be breached and trampled as greedy civil servants forget their places and feed hungrily at the trough of money and power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;These are but few of the ills we suffer now, with no end in sight, and so, as always, the American Spirit of strengh and courage, and its sense of fairness and justice rise up once again to protect our country, its Constitution and its way of life.&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;In the words of "Network's"  famously outraged Howard Beale, "WE'RE MAD AS HELL AND WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Americans have come together to stand up for themselves and their country and stand up to those who created this sad state of affairs, to wit:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:+2;color:#000000;"&gt;Americans throw &lt;i&gt;more than 40&lt;/i&gt; tea parties &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;!-- end head --&gt;  &lt;!-- deck --&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:+1;color:#000000;"&gt;Citizens answer Rick Santelli's call, unite for nationwide protest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=90055"&gt;http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;amp;pageId=90055&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;h4 id="s_hd"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Palatino, Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;font-size:+1;color:#000000;"&gt;The list of nationwide participants in this glorious movement grows daily and, in addition to the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; more than 40 tea party events across the nation occurring in the last week of February, more and bigger are in the planning stage now, notably July 4th and September 11-14, 2009. Official sponsors of the events include Top Conservatives on Twitter, Smart Girl Politics, Don'tGo Movement, FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity.

Our government is the potent omnipresent teacher. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never were those words more applicable than today. Never have they been truer. We were once known as a nation of laws. Over the last several years, especially, our government's adherence to the values and the sacred documents of our nation has waned, drifting perilously close to the edge of oblivion as our Bill of Rights, Consitution and election laws have been whittled away in favor of granting increased power and secrecy to not only Federal government, but individual State governments as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Blagojevich and his assistant John Harris have been arrested; Axelrod and Obama suddenly claim not to have had any dealings with either of them in spite of reports from several sources about meetings and phone calls between them in November and early December.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the wake of the release of a 77 page Criminal Complaint, Chicago homicide detectives have requested the asssitance of Federal Prosecutor Fitzpatrick in obtaining phone records from Obama, Reverend Wright, Donald Young and others.  Previous attempts to obtain these records in connection with the murder investigation of Donald Young were thwarted by the Chicago Police Department and Mayor Daley's office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years we have seen a massive breakdown in the willingness to abide by our laws in some sectors.  Although the majority of Americans are law abiding, many more are not, and the question remains as to what could be the cause.  Surely a government must abide by its own laws--not just SOME of the government abiding by SOME of the laws--but ALL of the government must abide by and uphold ALL of its laws in order to command the respect and loyalty of its citizens.  In these times of media generated fear and global concerns it is all too easy to excuse governmental law breaking as an exigency in fending off terrorists.  Witness FISA, and the issue of employing illegal spy tactics.  Senator Schumer of NY voted against granting immunity to the communication corporations who broke the law in that regard; Obama, despite his assertions that he would "filibuster against [granting them immunity]" voted to grant that immunity anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With turnabouts like this, is it any wonder that integrity, loyalty, honor, and respect for our words, deeds and laws has seen a downturn at the least and a drubbing at worst?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were once a nation of laws, and to continue to be a nation at all, we must resolve to follow them--ALL must follow ALL laws, not just the ones we deem convenient, be we citizens or government.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-3654296335826765149?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/3654296335826765149/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=3654296335826765149' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/3654296335826765149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/3654296335826765149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/letter-of-law.html' title='Letter Of The Law'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-2684818661778739708</id><published>2008-12-09T13:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T13:47:36.733-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SEIU'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chicago Tribune'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Senate seat'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blagojevich'/><title type='text'>Illinois Style Politics Go National: Hubris &amp; Corruption Reaching New Highs Daily</title><content type='html'>"On November 10, Governor Blagojevich, his wife, Harris, Governor General Counsel, and other Washington-based advisors participated at different times in a two-hour phone call in which they allegedly discussed, among other things, a deal involving the SEIU. Harris said they could work out a deal with the union and the President-elect where SEIU could help the President-elect with Blagojevich’s appointment of Senate Candidate 1, while Blagojevich would obtain a position as the National Director of the Change to Win campaign and SEIU would get something favorable from the President-elect in the future." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At long last, Governor Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested early this morning on charges of  conspiring to benefit financially from his role in appointing a U.S. senator to fill the vacancy left by Barack Obama's election as president, along with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blagojevich also was charged with using his authority as governor in an attempt to press for campaign contributions, prosecutors said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, from the governor of Illinois, Obama's "home" state.  It has long been known that, as one of the most corrupt states in the Union, few things happen without the blessing and the knowledge of its governor.  To deny that Obama knows about this, an every other transgression is belies either ignorance or stupidity, and probably both.  To assume that he knows nothing of this is tantamount to insanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Mike Madden's piece in today's Salon dot com, he rudely [and oh so ignorantly] ridicules all those who realize that Obama has offered NOTHING to prove that he meets the eligibility requirements of the U.S. Constitution by being a NATURAL BORN U.S. CITIZEN, and derisively derides those at the press conference held yesterday at the National Press Club. As is usually the case with the uninformed, Mr. Madden embarrassed himself more than any of his targets, and all the ridicule in the world is no substitute for the absence of fact. The fact that Obama is clearly unable to meet the basic eligibility requirements, plus the fact that he arose from the mire of the infamous Illinois political machine lend even more credence to the fact that, along with sealed educational records from three colleges including his sources for tuition [aside from Khalid al Mansour and Percy Sutton], this is truly The Man From Nowhere, and as such, is not only ineligible to be POTUS, but is touched with poisoned fruit as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tony Rezko has been convicted, just one of many in the endless parade of bad actors in this morality play gone wrong.  One can only hope that the arrogance and hubris they share will bring them all down swiftly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-2684818661778739708?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/2684818661778739708/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=2684818661778739708' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/2684818661778739708'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/2684818661778739708'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/illinois-style-politics-hubris.html' title='Illinois Style Politics Go National: Hubris &amp; Corruption Reaching New Highs Daily'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-2487583203029988531</id><published>2008-12-08T16:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T16:39:21.194-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Declaration of Independence'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SCOTUS'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Justice Roberts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitutional crisis'/><title type='text'>Do the Right Thing. Please. Just Once.</title><content type='html'>Crossposted by request from Bob on Texas Darlin's site:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the Most Honorable&lt;br /&gt;Chief Justice John G. Roberts&lt;br /&gt;Supreme Court of the United States&lt;br /&gt;One First Street, N.E.&lt;br /&gt;Washington, D.C. 20543&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Chief Justice Roberts:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although this letter is addressed to you, your Honor, it is in reality an open letter to all of the Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. And, my hope Sir is that you will make its content available to your esteemed colleagues on the Bench.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since the founding of our great nation, from the signing of the Declaration of Independence, through tenuous and uncertain times at Valley Forge, Washington’s crossing of the Delaware, and thereafter to the final battle of Yorktown, our nation’s future and Liberty hung tenuously by a slender thread. Since those perilous times, we have faced together many other challenges to the existence of our freedom. We endured the war of 1812, the Civil War, two world wars, and most recently the attack on the two World Trade Centers in New York City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That slender thread was and has always been, the courage and wisdom of the men in the breach of history, whose moral and mental compass turned their wills and their souls unerringly to the cause of liberty, and to the preservation of our nation and its Constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comes now into the breach in the year 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States. Our founding fathers knew that our nation could be lost by direct assault, or by subterfuge. And it was the latter case to which they addressed the Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution to direct all citizens to the diligence of electing only a “natural born” citizen of this country to be President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This matter was of such import that they being men themselves born in another nation, excluded only themselves and men alive at the signing of the Constitution, leaving forever thereafter, that only men born of this nation according to the law, and men who preserved their citizenship status only to this nation would ever become President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether the current and most recent candidate elected to that office would ever misdirect our nation or do harm is not the consideration. Whether he indeed meets the qualification of “natural born” citizenship, and has maintained only that citizenship in the United States, is the crucial issue that must be resolved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he could have readily clarified this matter and ended this contention, it would seem to honorable and respectful citizens that he should have already done so, as the matter has been brewing for several months. But alas, critical and numerous documents that might shed light on his qualification in this regard have been purposefully and carefully “Sealed” to prevent revelation to public knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 300 million citizens of these United States deserve to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, that they have elected a man who indeed meets the Constitutional qualification requirements to become their President or otherwise as the case may be. This President needs that same stamp of approval of those same forefathers who signed the Constitution in order to serve honorably in this most high office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several separate cases have now come before the Supreme Court, and another just was denied in the Superior Court of California and has undoubtedly began its journey to your court. Unless this matter is resolved to the letter of the law and the Constitution, there can be no civil rest among the vastly growing number of those who have and those who will yet become aware that a growing shadow of doubt falls upon the qualification of our highest elected official.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two clear courses, and two consequences lie before us. And the Supreme Court holds the charge and the key to resolution of this most crucial issue. The issue is historical, and critical because a most dangerous precedent can be set, by allowing a President to serve who does not meet the Constitutional requirement set forth by our founders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thereafter, any non-citizen could challenge that provision of “natural born” citizen in Article 1, Section 2, citing the already served term of office of one who did not quite meet that requirement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is apparent that other entities whose purview should have checked the qualification of the candidates for Constitutional criteria, have failed in their duty. And the matter has been allowed to continue unresolved to the point that multiple lawsuits have been filed, and more are likely to arise. Those entities that failed to verify citizenship of candidates for President must be properly brought to task and the error in their duty pointed out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Either the matter is taken up and clearly resolved, and the Constitution is preserved, or We the People may look back in history upon a gaping hole burned in our Constitution in the year 2008 by the simple lack of due diligence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a travesty it would be to our collective and everlasting shame, and would place our nation in new degrees of jeopardy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, We the People turn to our highest court for Justice, and for resolution of truly a Constitutional crisis of historical significance.

McNamara in 1967 and never intended for publication, two hundred years have passed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaked to the public in 1971 and exposing the administration of U.S. President Richard M. Nixon,  in contrast with the Federalist Papers, written for publication in support of a system of rules from which to govern a new nation, the Pentagon Papers, according to Daniel Ellsberg, the individual who eventually leaked them to NY Times reporter Neil Sheehan, "demonstrated unconstitutional behavior by a succession of presidents, the violation of their oath and the violation of the oath of every one of their subordinates" and stated that he had leaked the papers "in the hopes of getting the nation out of "a wrongful war."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that two hundred years, our nation went from one seeking truth in government for and by the People to one seeking to hide the truth from them in secretly commissioned studies, never intended to reach the public eye. In the decades since the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers have receded  into the dusty shelves of library history stacks as we continued to face an  onslaught of growing deception at the hands of a government once lauded for its populist view. The protection of checks and balances informed by the founding fathers continued to erode, leaving more room than ever for abuse of power and spurning of the Constitution and those transgressions for which Nixon finally fell have continued-- agreements with Iran to hold hostages until after the Reagan election, Oliver North and the Iran Contra affair, the Weapons of Mass Destruction fable floated to gain approval for the Iraq invasion and subsequent violations of privacy and human rights under the auspices of Homeland Security concerns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite these tragedies, we have continued to survive as a nation even as the current administration has lowered our standing in the eyes of the world and the economic meltdown continues to unravel and unnerve the very fabric of our everyday life.  As Joe Biden and Colin Powell make dire predictions of imminent food and water shortages,  we struggle to recover from what appears to be yet another stolen election, this time by an entity whose very origin remains for the most part unknown, and whose titular head is most certainly not even qualified to hold the office of POTUS by the standards enunciated by Article II Section I of the U.S. Constitution and elucidated in U.S. Code, Title 8,§ 1401. &lt;a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode08/usc_sec_08_00001401----000-.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than restate the arguments and their citations here, interested readers can refer to the excellent essay containing documentation links, by drkate, published on the TD site. &lt;a href="http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/stand-by-me/#comment-27587"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent years, freedom of the press has become little more than license for media to promulgate untruths and suppress truths, further hobbling the electorate's ability to make sound decisions at the voting booth. Schools and even institutions of higher learning have so curtailed basic civics and Amerian history classes that fewer and fewer of the American public have even the slightest idea as to how the papers of our founding fathers worked to form the structure from which our system of government grew, have almost no idea how our voting processes should work, or even the contents of our Constitution and its amendments, the first ten comprising our Bill of Rights.  As a result, through ignorance and bad information from media, we are faced with a candidate who is ineligible to hold the office of POTUS,and our nation now faces the worst consitutional crisis in our history aside from the 1861 secession of the Confederate states.  Perhaps saddest of all is the fact that few Americans seem to realize this or even care.  Pravda, long dismissed as Russia's cold war propaganda paper, has scooped the American media on this momentous news.  Not because no one knew it, but because, in spite of the thousands of entreaties by concerned Americans, the American media refused to cover it or even mention it until Friday, December 5, and when they finally did, couched the reports in snide looks, rolling eyes and pronouncements that the nearly 20 lawsuits challenging this ineligible individual's attempt to seize the White House through fraud are little more than political ploys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mounds of paper have already been drawn and served, and mounds will continue.  Over 60,000 letters had reached the Supreme Court by the December 5 conference which was convened to examine the merits of granting certiorari for the Donofrio, and many more will follow.  Lawsuits continue to mount as those who  hold our Constitution dear try to wrest its destruction from the hands of the enemy within.  The vigil of work and prayer continue as we strive to save the blueprint of our Democracy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For updates see &lt;a href="http://http//naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;  , &lt;a href="http://drorly.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://drorly.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To assist in the efforts, visit the links above or email &lt;span class="HcCDpe"&gt;RichardLawrenceMusic@gmail.com &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drorly.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-2518576058129593758?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/2518576058129593758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=2518576058129593758' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/2518576058129593758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/2518576058129593758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/papers-then-and-now.html' title='Papers Then and Now'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-855559719563509688</id><published>2008-12-05T13:02:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T13:06:19.937-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who's Laughing Now...and it's NOT the U.S.</title><content type='html'>Today we devote all blog space to making the news about Obama's refusal [read: inability] to prove that he is a natural born American citizen, for indeed, he does NOT fall into that category and that is documented fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This needs to go out.

Articulate speaking is no way to judge or rate the integrity of a person.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the Russian online newspaper Pravda featured a column about “the man with no visible past.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Google of Pravda, Obama, Citizenship, American Media provided this link so take your pick:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=" http://www.google.com/search?q=pravda+obama+citizenship+american+media&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a "&gt; http://www.google.com/search?q=pravda+obama+citizenship+american+media&amp;amp;ie=utf-8&amp;amp;oe=utf-8&amp;amp;aq=t&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Barry Sotero, AKA Barack Obama, along with the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission have successfully ignored a Federal Lawsuit asking him to produce a valid Birth Certificate,” the piece by Mark McGrew states. “When the time to respond to that lawsuit expired, under Federal Court Rules, they all admitted that he was not a citizen of The United States of America and deemed to have committed fraud. A normal man would have been found to have admitted he was not a U.S. citizen.”&lt;br /&gt;While McGrew acknowledges Obama is praised for his way with words, he warns, “Every con man walking free or in jail is an articulate speaker. Who would give their trust to a man who could not use the right words to convince his targets to trust him? Articulate speaking is no way to judge or rate the integrity of a person.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The writer said every con man sells a “dream,” pushes a “greed button,” stresses “urgency” – and it claims Americans fell for a con man.“Obama sold the dream of hope and change so desperately wanted by the Americans. He pushed the greed button by promising to take from the rich to give to the poor. And he stressed urgency by himself and his wife telling voters to vote early.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McGrew explains that Obama’s “certificate of birth” is not a birth certificate, but a certification of live birth that any foreigner can acquire by applying for one in the state’s vital records department, regardless of where the baby was born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join more than 158,000 others in signing WND’s online petition calling for release of Barack Obama’s birth certificate and verifying beyond any shadow of a doubt his constitutional eligibility for office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The column said Obama can easily put the issue to rest by producing the document, rather than spending thousands of dollars on attorneys to defy federal and state lawsuits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Barack Obama may just win his place in history as the greatest con man of all time,” the author said. “A hundred million people believed him and spent 600 million dollars to get him ‘elected’ to the highest office in America, without ever knowing if he is or is not eligible to even run as an American citizen. It is either amazing that he will pull it off or it is amazing that so many millions of people believed him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, major television networks and most mainstream newspapers are continuing to be silent on the matter. Some media outlets have begun reporting on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chicago Tribune published a news article about Robert L. Schultz, chairman of the We The People Foundation, after he ran a full-page ad in the newspaper demanding Obama produce documents proving he is eligible for office. However, the writer attempted to debunk Schultz’s claims paragraph by paragraph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Chicago Sun-Times columnist accused the We The People Foundation of having “money to throw away” for posting an “inflammatory ad” in the Chicago Tribune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NBC Chicago’s website led its story with the following statement: “Critics continue to invest in ads to convince Americans that he is not one of theirs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the Kansas City Star featured a news article claiming “legions of anti-Obama bloggers” have filed lawsuits claiming Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Star’s story said “skeptics” believe there are several “co-conspirators” in the “tangled web of conspiracy and silence,” including election officials who put candidates’ name on ballots, judges who throw out lawsuits, mainstream media, Obama’s family and Hawaiian authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even AOL News’ blog featured a “Q&amp;amp;A with Obama birth certificate doubters,” while another entry accused the We The People Foundation of being part of “the cult of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, amid skeptical reports, the New American reported, “This story has gained credence, separating it from Internet rumors, because Obama has reputedly hired three law firms (firms, not lawyers) to make sure that no one gets access to his birth records in Hawaii or his college transcripts from Occidental College and Harvard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Pravda.ru piece written by Mark McGrew, I read something that was QUITE interesting! Are you ready for this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FTA:&lt;br /&gt;But beyond all of that controversy, there is one subject in this man’s activities that is truly astounding: There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that his beloved grandmother actually died on the day before the election as his campaign said she did. He said he would attend her funeral “In a few days”. He never did. Then he said he would have a funeral for her around the end of the year. What kind of person keeps their grandmother’s body on ice for two months? What kind of a person would play on the death of his grandmother to win “the sympathy vote”? Where is the proof that she died when he said she did? Normally, we could simply learn from the local coroner of a well known person’s death. But the only public comment made by the Honolulu Medical Examiner, who acts as coroner in Honolulu, Hawaii was, “We didn’t work that case.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the 9 Justices of the Supreme Court convene to discuss one of the 17 cases.  A vigil in support of them waited on the Courthouse steps.  Last night a national fasting and prayer initiative was held.  People are holding circles of light, intention medidations, and writing and speaking to get out the truth.  Daily, more people want to know what to do and join groups that are doing things to preserve and protect our nation of laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It occurs to me that the founders and their rag tag army in 1776 had neither the internet nor broadcast media and yet they got the word out and won the fight.  Today we have both and it is far more difficult to suppress the truth in any real way.  It may take a little longer without the assistance of main stream media, but they will ultimately find it very difficult to suppress an entire nation of individuals who cherish their freedom and our nation of laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shall continue to watch, wait, write, speak and spread the truth. For country, its people, for ourselves, and for the world, who is watching.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-855559719563509688?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/855559719563509688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=855559719563509688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/855559719563509688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/855559719563509688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/whos-laughing-nowand-its-not-us.html' title='Who&apos;s Laughing Now...and it&apos;s NOT the U.S.'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-7546712110967334107</id><published>2008-12-05T13:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-05T13:09:27.680-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='citizenship'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supreme Court'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pravda'/><title type='text'>Who's Laughing Now...and it's NOT the U.S.</title><content type='html'>Today we devote all blog space to making the news about Obama's refusal [read: inability] to prove that he is a natural born American citizen, for indeed, he does NOT fall into that category and that is documented fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This needs to go out.

However, the writer attempted to debunk Schultz’s claims paragraph by paragraph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Chicago Sun-Times columnist accused the We The People Foundation of having “money to throw away” for posting an “inflammatory ad” in the Chicago Tribune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NBC Chicago’s website led its story with the following statement: “Critics continue to invest in ads to convince Americans that he is not one of theirs.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, the Kansas City Star featured a news article claiming “legions of anti-Obama bloggers” have filed lawsuits claiming Obama is constitutionally ineligible to be president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Star’s story said “skeptics” believe there are several “co-conspirators” in the “tangled web of conspiracy and silence,” including election officials who put candidates’ name on ballots, judges who throw out lawsuits, mainstream media, Obama’s family and Hawaiian authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even AOL News’ blog featured a “Q&amp;amp;A with Obama birth certificate doubters,” while another entry accused the We The People Foundation of being part of “the cult of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, amid skeptical reports, the New American reported, “This story has gained credence, separating it from Internet rumors, because Obama has reputedly hired three law firms (firms, not lawyers) to make sure that no one gets access to his birth records in Hawaii or his college transcripts from Occidental College and Harvard.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Pravda.ru piece written by Mark McGrew, I read something that was QUITE interesting! Are you ready for this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FTA:&lt;br /&gt;But beyond all of that controversy, there is one subject in this man’s activities that is truly astounding: There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that his beloved grandmother actually died on the day before the election as his campaign said she did. He said he would attend her funeral “In a few days”. He never did. Then he said he would have a funeral for her around the end of the year. What kind of person keeps their grandmother’s body on ice for two months? What kind of a person would play on the death of his grandmother to win “the sympathy vote”? Where is the proof that she died when he said she did? Normally, we could simply learn from the local coroner of a well known person’s death. But the only public comment made by the Honolulu Medical Examiner, who acts as coroner in Honolulu, Hawaii was, “We didn’t work that case.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today the 9 Justices of the Supreme Court convene to discuss one of the 17 cases.  A vigil in support of them waited on the Courthouse steps.  Last night a national fasting and prayer initiative was held.  People are holding circles of light, intention meditations, and writing and speaking to get out the truth.  Daily, more people want to know what to do and join groups that are doing things to preserve and protect our nation of laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It occurs to me that the founders and their rag tag army in 1776 had neither the internet nor broadcast media and yet they got the word out and won the fight.  Today we have both and it is far more difficult to suppress the truth in any real way.  It may take a little longer without the assistance of main stream media, but they will ultimately find it very difficult to suppress an entire nation of individuals who cherish their freedom and our nation of laws.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We shall continue to watch, wait, write, speak and spread the truth. For country, its people, for ourselves, and for the world, who is watching.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-7546712110967334107?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/7546712110967334107/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=7546712110967334107' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/7546712110967334107'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/7546712110967334107'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/whos-laughing-nowand-its-not-us_05.html' title='Who&apos;s Laughing Now...and it&apos;s NOT the U.S.'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-8463357662573795451</id><published>2008-12-04T09:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-04T10:10:58.015-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='U.S. Constitution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='J.D.

Volunteers needed!  There is much to do and at present, we are engaged in a Constitutional Crisis.  From all appearances, it is apparent that main stream media has singularly refused to cover some of the most significant news that has ever occurred in the United States of America:  an attempt by an individual or individuals to install someone other than a natural born American citizen as the President of the United States, thereby violating Article II, Section I of the U.S. Constitution.  The mass efforts of the well "organized" ACORN voter fraud scandal along with a bias from main stream media that would rival any Pravda edition from the 1950s have almost succeeded in lulling many Americans into a torpid state.  Fortunately, there are millions of us who have seen what is happening first hand, and are fighting to restore our country to the nation of laws, freedom and democracy it once was.

Few people realize how crucial this issue is to our very survival as a nation of law based on our Constitution. The thought that this rogue and his handlers have come this close to seizing the White House is as incomprehensible as it is terrifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I applaud you all and urge you to work together for mainstream media exposure and reform with Media Blackout, Newsbuster and MediaPUMA.wordpress.com, STOP Big Media.com and all other media reform organizations. It is imperative that we take back our airwaves NOW, as the influence media have peddled to an unsuspecting public has nearly succeeded in eliminating all possibility of an informed electorate with bias, lies and omission. This being almost fully accomplished, our vote has been rendered meaningless. In order for this to change, main stream media must be taken to task, held accountable and exposed for the bought and sold propaganda machine it has become.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Count Us Out has an excellent comment and discussion on this issue, and, along with Orly Taitz’s [attorney for Alan Keyes] Natural Born Citizen site, &lt;a href="http://drorly.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://drorly.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; Copy of Keyes’s petition can be viewed at &lt;a href="http://www.soundinvestments.us/files/final_writ_keyes_v_bowen.pdf"&gt;http://www.soundinvestments.us/files/final_writ_keyes_v_bowen.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://countusout.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/foia-request-response-from-va-document-from-va-sos-signed-by-nancy-pelosi-stating-that-pelosi-certified-obamas-qualifications/dnc-certification_of_nomination-082908-2/#comment-3897"&gt;http://countusout.wordpress.com/2008/11/26/foia-request-response-from-va-document-from-va-sos-signed-by-nancy-pelosi-stating-that-pelosi-certified-obamas-qualifications/dnc-certification_of_nomination-082908-2/#comment-3897&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also see Philip Berg’s site at &lt;a href="www.Obamacrimes.com"&gt;www.Obamacrimes.com&lt;/a&gt; .

She made the best choice for our nation under the circumstances and now has the most important role in the United States government.  There is no one who could filled that role better, and she has carried herself with grace, dignity and strength throughout the bitter sexism of the compaign, risen above justifiable outrage, and shown us all how to win.  There are those who felt that she should not accept any position in the Obama cabinet because he would have the power to fire her.  I respectfully disagree with that position because we all know that HE needs HER FAR, FAR more than SHE needs HIM.  As always, her skill, commitment and dedication tower far above those of most people, and most certainly far above anyone in that cabinet, including the POTUS designee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a New Yorker, I am selfishly disappointed that she will not be my Senator any longer, but my love of country makes me eternally grateful and glad that she is willing to serve our country.  Like Hillary, I believe in County First, and I fully trust that she will be the best Secretary of State we have ever had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, a word to the wise:  MediaPUMA will be watching...along with Media Blackout, Newsbusters, and all of the other media watchdog coalitions out there...we will watch, wait, and pounce on every single media transgression.  We will NOT allow mainstream media any passes whatsoever in their coverage this time around.  We WILL hold them accountable.  We WILL blackout, boycott, protest and FULLY succeed in preventing them from pulling another hatchet job on Hillary Clinton, and every other woman who comes into the public eye.  Gone are the luke warm days of NOW with their meaningless rules and their support only of women who agree with them;  This is the era of The New Agenda, where ALL women, regardless of their personal beliefs, will be freed from the ravages of sexism and misogyny, and the Truth shall set us all free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, mainstream media...beware...be afraid...the MediaPUMAS are watching...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-452599943354656155?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/452599943354656155/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=452599943354656155' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/452599943354656155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/452599943354656155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/12/madame-secretary-it-isand-we-will-be.html' title='Madame Secretary It Is...and We WILL Be Watching...'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-2081123607355791600</id><published>2008-11-30T14:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-30T14:24:32.111-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stating the Obvious: At Long Last…A Truth Slips In</title><content type='html'>After nearly a year of playing fast and loose with the facts about campaign fund sources, The LA Times  has finally released a report stating the obvious.  After nearly a year of PUMAs and other astute researchers trying to tell people that, contrary to the assertions of Obama and main stream media,  "NO, Obama's *amazing* campaign money machine was NOT dominated by several million regular folks sending in hard-earned amounts under $200 but rather, Obama's base of small donors was almost exactly the same percent as George W. Bush's in 2004 -- Obama had 26% and the great Republican satan 25%. Obviously, this is unacceptable to current popular thinking. But the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute just issued a detailed study of Obama's donor base and its giving. And that's what the Institute found, to its own surprise. 'The myth is that money from small donors dominated Barack Obama's finances,' said CFI's executive director Michael Malbin, admitting that his organization also was fooled. 'The reality of Obama's fundraising was impressive, but the reality does not match the myth.'&lt;br /&gt;Adding up the total contributions from the same small individuals (in terms of dollar amounts, not their height), the Institute discovered that rather than the 50+% commonly...reported throughout the campaign, only 26% of Obama's contributions through last August and only 24% through Oct. 15 came from people whose total donations added up to less than $200." &lt;a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/11/obama-money.html?cid=140869288#comments "&gt;http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/11/obama-money.html?cid=140869288#comments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, there is a severe problem when the truth only emerges AFTER a political campaign, and this has occurred time and time again: when it is too late for the truth to influence voters' decisions, main stream media releases it.  This has got to change.  The only way a democracy can exist is by having an informed electorate and as it stands now, media has completely preempted that possibility.  The bias and propaganda emitted by media has now reached or even perhaps surpassed that of the old U.S.S.R.'s Pravda and Tass.  Media have eroded its own credibility by discarding professional standards to the extent that most people go to the BBC or Al-Jazeera for objective content. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several groups working to restore credibility and professionalism to media in the United States, among them,  Newswatch &lt;a href="http://www.newswatch.org/Media_coverups.htm ,"&gt;http://www.newswatch.org/Media_coverups.htm ,&lt;/a&gt; Stop Big Media &lt;a href="http://www.stopbigmedia.com/"&gt;http://www.stopbigmedia.com/&lt;/a&gt; , Media Blackout at Facebook and, of course, MediaPUMA here.  Now that the 2008 election cycle has completed, we are regrouping and refocusing on efforts to reform main stream media, provide credible alternatives, and eradicate sexism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth...

But it is not merely contemporary media that have perpetrated public relations fraud: from time immemorial, entities and individuals have gone about the business of co-opting the facts, stretching the truth or simply making it up to fit their own agenda.  I offer this today, written by John Two-Hawks and crossposted here as tribute to the real America, the importance of truth and the Native American Heritage Act of 2008, which was signed into law in October of this year and will be observed for the first time on November 28, 2008 and every year thereafter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" &gt;Mistakes, Lies &amp;amp; Misconceptions About American Indian People:  The  Thanksgiving Myth  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me begin by stating that thousands of years  before the 'official'&lt;br /&gt;Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed by Governor Winthrop  of the&lt;br /&gt;Massachussetts Bay Colony in 1637, North American Indigenous &lt;br /&gt;people across the continent had celebrated seasons of Thanksgiving. &lt;br /&gt;'Thanksgiving' is a very ancient concept to American Indian nations.&lt;br /&gt;The  big problem with the American Thanksgiving holiday is its false&lt;br /&gt;association  with American Indian people. The infamous 'Indians and&lt;br /&gt;pilgrims' myth. It is  good to celebrate Thanksgiving, to be thankful&lt;br /&gt;for your blessings. It is not  good to distort history, to falsely portray&lt;br /&gt;the origin of this holiday and  lie about the truth of its actual inception.&lt;br /&gt;Here are some accurate  historical facts about the true origin of this&lt;br /&gt;American holiday that may  interest you.........................................&lt;br /&gt;'Thanksgiving' did not  begin as a great loving relationship between the&lt;br /&gt;pilgrims and the Wampanoag,  Pequot and Narragansett people. In fact,&lt;br /&gt;in October of 1621 when the  'pilgrim' survivors of their first winter in&lt;br /&gt;Turtle Island sat down to share  the first unofficial 'Thanksgiving' meal,&lt;br /&gt;the Indians who were there were  not even invited! There was no turkey,&lt;br /&gt;squash, cranberry sauce or pumpkin  pie. A few days before this alleged&lt;br /&gt;feast took place, a company of  'pilgrims' led by Miles Standish actively&lt;br /&gt;sought the head of a local Indian  leader, and an 11 foot high wall was&lt;br /&gt;erected around the entire Plymouth  settlement for the very purpose of&lt;br /&gt;keeping Indians out! Officially, the  holiday we know as 'Thanksgiving'&lt;br /&gt;actually came into existence in the year  1637. Governor Winthrop of the&lt;br /&gt;Massachussetts Bay Colony proclaimed this  first official day of Thanksgiving&lt;br /&gt;and feasting to celebrate the return of  the colony's men who had arrived&lt;br /&gt;safely from what is now Mystic,  Connecticut. They had gone there to&lt;br /&gt;participate in the massacre of over 700  Pequot men, women and children,&lt;br /&gt;and Mr. Winthrop decided to dedicate an  official day of thanksgiving&lt;br /&gt;complete with a feast to 'give thanks' for  their great 'victory'....&lt;br /&gt;As hard as it may be to conceive, this is the  actual origin of our current&lt;br /&gt;Thanksgiving Day holiday. Many American Indian  people these days do&lt;br /&gt;not observe this holiday, for obvious reasons. I see  nothing wrong with&lt;br /&gt;gathering with family to give thanks to our Creator for  our blessings and&lt;br /&gt;sharing a meal. I do, however, hope that Americans as a  whole will one&lt;br /&gt;day acknowledge the true origin of this holiday, and remember  the pain,&lt;br /&gt;loss, and agony of the Indigenous people who suffered at the hands  of&lt;br /&gt;the so-called 'pilgrims'. It is my hope that children's plays about 'the &lt;br /&gt;first Thanksgiving', complete with Indians and pilgrims chumming at&lt;br /&gt;the  dinner table, will someday be a thing of the past. Why perpetuate&lt;br /&gt;a lie? Let  us face the truths of the past, and give thanks that we are&lt;br /&gt;learning to love  one another for the rich human diversity we share.&lt;br /&gt;(Written by John  Two-Hawks)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, this says much about human nature--both sides, light and dark--and the ease with which myth can supplant fact if we are not vigilant.  This is nothing new.  It is one of the vagaries of our darker side and our awareness of that is the first step toward recalibrating our standards for truth.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-1126499839428520911?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/1126499839428520911/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=1126499839428520911' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/1126499839428520911'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/1126499839428520911'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/11/setting-record-straight.html' title='Setting the Record Straight'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-1333151327117267234</id><published>2008-11-25T17:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-25T18:08:05.490-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lawsuit'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='media'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Constitution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Election fraud'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Supreme Court'/><title type='text'>Where is the Breaking News??!</title><content type='html'>No fewer than seventeen cases have been filed against Barack Obama &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;etal&lt;/span&gt;, challenging him to  prove that he is a NATURAL BORN AMERICAN CITIZEN, which is required by the U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section l to serve as POTUS.  This is history in the making: NEVER in the history of the United States of America has anyone ineligible to serve run for POTUS, thus never has suit been brought against any candidate.  And yet--Philip Berg's case has been submitted to the United States Supreme Court, who has given Obama and his handlers until December 1, 2008 to respond, and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;not one news outlet has reported this incredible series of events!&lt;/span&gt;   This is truly the most frightening thing of all: worse than being in violation of our Constitution, worse than going unpunished for perpetrating that violation is the fact that, despite countless contacts with main stream media by concerned and informed citizens, they steadfastly refused not only to address this historical issue,  but also to respond to any of these requests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What the outcome will be remains to be seen but in my view, the worst of the damage has already been done: it appears obvious that the American people have been defrauded not only by having an ineligible, unqualified candidate who has seized an election through voter fraud, but it has gone completely unreported by the media.  There can be no democracy without an educated electorate, and for all intents and purposes, the American people have lost their ability to educate themselves about the truth on candidates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is much work to be done in the coming months and years in order to restore our system of democracy to its former self.  Stay tuned to learn about what YOU can do to hold media accountable and restore the rights of the American voter.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-1333151327117267234?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/1333151327117267234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=1333151327117267234' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/1333151327117267234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/1333151327117267234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/11/where-is-breaking-news.html' title='Where is the Breaking News??!'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5557990788631039420.post-939491725418880775</id><published>2008-11-17T10:42:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-17T10:42:48.368-08:00</updated><title type='text'>MediaPuma Watch</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5557990788631039420-939491725418880775?l=mediapuma.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/feeds/939491725418880775/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5557990788631039420&amp;postID=939491725418880775' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/939491725418880775'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5557990788631039420/posts/default/939491725418880775'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mediapuma.blogspot.com/2008/11/mediapuma-watch.html' title='MediaPuma Watch'/><author><name>truthisgold</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-oJhpnjwmIc/SRxjDJI4mUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Tz7jwkFj3ks/S220/meo101708.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
