Common Core, Coming to AZ 2013 and Yes it does affect Home Schoolers

“Common Core Standards” is a National venture headed up by NGA (the National Governors Association) and Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO).

My brain is racked from having read through both the Pros and Cons of “Common Core” all day (Sunday). I’m a home school mom. My kids are still within the K-12 range. I had no idea that Common Core would affect me as a homeschooler until today. My readers know that I’m handy with a search engine and so I began my journey today into discovering exactly what Common Core Standards are and how it will affect me and my home.

The Cons

I have friend in Christ who sent me an email not too long ago warning me about “Common Core” and the transitions of certain formerly trusted curricula were making to adhere to Common Core Standards. At the time I thought to myself, this doesn’t apply to me, I don’t use any of the listed curricula. Then a week or so after her email I heard on the radio that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer had just signed into Law, “Common Core Standards,” and that the Arizona State standardized test called AIMS was in its last year due to the new standards that go into affect Fall 2013-2014 school year. What!? Brewer signed Common Core Standards into Law? I don’t recall voting on that measure or even hearing about it until a week prior thanks to my diligent friend (a retired teacher). I was truly ignorant of her concerns and knowledge on the subject. It wasn’t  until I saw this:

Maintaining Academic Excellence: BJU Press and the Common Core Standards (For article click here-Not an Endorsement)

that it became prudent for me to spend the time investigating Common Core for myself. Let me explain! I don’t use BJU press (anymore). I had long ago used their spelling books for my kids; however, this was before I knew about BJU. Now, I know too much about BJU and choose not to support that institution. I was however, looking up curriculum and accredited schools online. Ironically I ended up on their main page and saw that on the left side bar they included the term “Common Core.” Once I saw that BJU, a private “Christian” educational system (which is NOT accredited btw I also learned), was implementing Common Core, I decided to revisit my friend’s second email which had two links to help educate me on the Cons of Common Core. The first link I clicked on had a video of which I watched the entire thing (58 Minutes). I will link to it at the end of this post. In this *video I gleaned some names, terms, and resources that furthered my search into exactly what Common Core is and what it intends to do. From the speaker of the video I learned some basic facts. I will just bullet point them:

• Common Core is not a demand of the people for the people it was CONSTRUCTED, ergo devised, by Obama and a few of his henchmen and women just prior to his election in 2008.
• The NGA (National Governors Association) had a lot to do with getting this “Nationalized” form of education into the respective state legislation.
• Common Core is going to push out traditional mastery based education and encourage teachers to take a facilitator role and allow the children to “teach themselves.”
• Bill and Melinda Gates have donated $100 million of their own money towards implementation of this program. They have done so primarily because their Common Core Standards program will utilize Computers, E-readers, E-books, which Bill Gates (Mr.Microsoft) is a partner with Pearson the US’s (and the world’s) premier text book publisher. They will directly benefit $$ from the total overhaul of the educational system. So if you’re not a fan but a wise investor it may be time to get in on Windows based stock options!
• Obama is for this. His cronies conjured up this system which is loosely yet very eerily related to the “No Child Left Behind Act,” of George W. Bush. If you’re a hot blooded American with an (R) in front of your name you know that it is precursory to be against everything Obama is for even if you were for it during the Bush years.
• Common Core Standards will be rewritten into the SAT and ACT tests that our kids take to get into College. Whether they are home schooled kids, public schooled kids, or privately educated kids, they will all have to know the Common Cores in order to take the tests and pass.
• Christian schools are also implementing Common Core in droves. Charter schools are also transitioning to Common Core. As I mentioned in my intro “Christian Home School” curriculum is also switching to Common Core. There is no escape or alternative. At some point your child will have to know and test for Common Core.
• Some of the promoters of Common Core are also in favor of making this system global and getting the citizens of the world educated in like fashion.
• All bullet points are my interpretation of the facts/opinions laid out in the YouTube video I watched which is linked to below. I use sarcasm in some of my points because I have learned that there is no black vs. white anymore but a lot of gray vs. neon green!

Some Facts that Support some Cons

“New York, NY – April 27, 2011 – The Pearson Foundation today announced a partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support America’s teachers by creating a full series of digital instructional resources. Online courses in Math and Reading/English Language Arts will offer a coherent and systemic approach to teaching the new Common Core State Standards. Common Core Standards were developed by the National Governors Association, in partnership with the Council of Chief State School Officers. Forty-one states, two territories, and the District of Columbia have adopted the standards.” Source: Pearson Website

“The common standards aren’t just for public schools, it seems. With all but four states having adopted them since 2010, districts have little choice but to implement the Common Core State Standards. But many private schools are also making the transition. More than 100 Roman Catholic dioceses spanning the nation from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, have decided to adopt the standards, according to a recent survey from the National Catholic Educational Association. Even the El Paso Diocese in Texas, a state that wanted no part of the common standards, signaled last spring that it was signing on. Experts say practical considerations are likely an important motivator, as many private schools feel the pressure from the tidal wave of states beginning to implement the new standards, which cover K-12 mathematics and English/language arts. That’s having profound effects on textbook and test publishers, for instance, which are revising their wares to better reflect the standards. Observers also suggest the common core will even reshape college-entrance exams.
It’s not just Catholic schools making the move. Some Lutheran and other denominations of Christian schools are shifting to the common core, including Grand Rapids Christian in Michigan and the Christian Academy School System in Louisville, Ky.” Source: Hispanic Business.com

This was confirming my findings that some Christian Schools were jumping in to the Common Core Bandwagon. Another random Google search produced this link:

Common Core standards coming in September to Capo Beach Christian- OC weekly

“Capo Beach Christian School has decided to embrace the Common Core standards, resulting in a school wide curriculum transformation. The kindergarten through eighth grade private school is set to implement the standards starting in September.” Quote from Article source here. Capo Beach Christian School website link here

Here’s a PDF book 43 pages that I have not read and thus am not endorsing but I’m only providing for resource and educational purpose: http://pioneerinstitute.org/download/controlling-education-from-the-top/

Here is the YouTube Video I viewed that is Against Common Core Standards Let me preface something before you view it. The woman speaking is from Eagle Forum. Eagle Forum is a Right Wing political activist organization that I do not endorse. Eagle Forum was created by and run by Phyllis Schlafly, a Jesuit Dame of Malta and CNP co-conspirator with Tim LaHaye whom I absolutely do not trust or endorse. Given that she was speaking on behalf of Eagle Forum to a group of tea-partiers (which I also am not an endorser of nor do I share their blind right wing ideology), I still listened and watched with discernment. So, I ask you to do the same if you listen to her speak. She gets into Agenda 21, the UN pushing for Common Core as well and endorsing some of her other books that are related to secret societies that run the Government; which is ironic considering she is speaking on behalf of Eagle Forum, birthed by a Dame of Malta (no secret there but it is sort of like a dbl cross). I encourage you to extract the facts she represents from her own agenda.

Here is a shorter and sweeter heartfelt message from a teacher who quit over Common Core:

Of course I went looking for what HSLDA (Home School Legal Defense Association) had to say about the matter. There were no flashing lights drawing attention to this topic on their main home page. I had to use their search engine to find this: Common Core State Standards Initiative: Too Close to a National Curriculum (December 17, 2012) Here’s the link: http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/2012/201212170.asp

Okay, I didn’t spend a lot of time looking through the pros of Common Core. Perhaps because I was so astounded by what I found in the Cons list and wanted to make sure the Cons being tossed about were legitimate and not just emotional exaggeration. It is important to test all things and when someone tells me (video above from Eagle Forum) that, “Common Core is equivalent to Nazi Germany’s role in systematically brainwashing the youth,” I want to make sure that it’s not just hyperbole. Here’s an article I read by a Socialist website no less and it does well in representing the Cons to Common Core without the bias that the Eagle Forum video had:

Lastly, one cannot escape the topic of “Common Core” without mentioning the Data Mining Issue.

I am no supporter of Glenn Beck or Michelle Malkin. I see both have hit this issue and have poured salt on the wound by stimulating your fears of the “Nation State” i.e. Big Brother who is collecting all various forms of Data on you and stock piling it for some innocuous day the world ends and you are hunted down for being registered with the NRA or a local Tea party group. (Sarcasm x10)

Let the truth be told, there is included in Common Core “Data Mining.” However, I beseech you to consider that you are doing a heck of a job already in offering up your children to Horus/The all seeing Eye when you  allow your kids to have Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. (You too parents) The world has offered itself up to have their data mined already. I’m not going to give up my Google search engine, my twitter account, or this blog, so yes I know everything I do online is getting mined. If you go to the doctor, now thanks to Obama Care, you’re being mined. Go to Foursquare and log in to get yourself a discount on a smoothie, you’re being mined. C’mon people unless you want to return to sending letters on the backs of pigeons get over yourself on this one. But, “Data Mining” does exist and although we willingly provide the State with our information we still like to get mad when they mine without our consent.

“The entire premise of Common Core should give us all many sleepless nights. Besides the fact the federal government is usurping the state and therefore, the public’s voice, it is also going to track every child from K-12 and beyond electronically.” Source: Arizona Independent Daily

Conclusion/N4TM commentary:

If you made it this far to the end of my post, congratulations, I will send you a gold star in the mail. What do I make of all of this, Common Core, stuff? I guess it’s beyond my control and I can’t do anything about it. It helps me affirm my choice to home school, however now I’ll have to keep in mind that my kids will have to learn some Common Core material for the sake of tests should they ever want to go to college. By the time my children reach College I’m sure College will be entirely different than the college days I knew. As parents who also educate it’s our duty to teach our children right from wrong. It’s not the duty of the State to raise a moral kid. Look at all the Federal institutions and how they lack and fail miserably, the same Federal Institution will produce equally competent citizens of the State. But Glory be to God, ‘man’ is not made in the image of ‘man!’ Man was created in the image of God and for that reason I believe God has divine power to call each of His children out from among the masses and still produce excellence and uniqueness. We won’t all be robots, we can’t all fall for the lie all of the time, and this is the great folly of Satan from the dawn of time. Satan can’t have what’s not his. Perhaps that is what this stuff is all about. It’s Satan’s attempt to reign in all the dissenters who will not surrender to him but are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Perhaps that is what all the ‘Data mining’ is for. I say bring it on, you don’t scare me.

A Hike, A prayer, and A Praise!

Lest you think I’m always such a “downer,” I thought I’d share a personal side of me today. Today I went for a hike. I planned on 4 miles for sure, but was prepared to add an extra 2 should the weather be kind and the trail safe. I prayed last night, “Lord please don’t let me get bit by a snake!” It’s getting hot in the Arizona Desert and the last thing I want is to get bit by a snake on the trail (especially a new trail). I headed out and boy did the Lord Bless! The desert is in bloom right now so as I headed up a canyon I was just in the middle of flowers and canyon like rock it was so beautiful. “Thank you Lord, for this day that you hath made,” ran through my mind as I looked up on both sides and an occasional glance behind me to see the valley bright and sweetly decorated by the giant Saguaro Cacti. When I got to my 2 mile marker I had no intention of quitting. I felt good and had plenty of water and it was just so amazing back in there that I couldn’t bear to turn around just yet. I was doing some thinking, some praying, and some praising. I thought about silly stuff, like the North Korea threat and personal stuff like those I know in my family who are lost and who desperately need my Savior Jesus Christ in their lives. Thinking on their need led me to think on my own need of Christ and what He’s done for me in my life and what He continues to do. I thought about the apostles because I’ve been reading Acts (I’m up to chapter 22). I thought about the importance of His Resurrection. I was thoroughly enjoying my hike! The trail was not too cluttered with people, and there was a section where I felt I was the only one out there. I thought of Nathanael when he sat under the fig tree and later Jesus told him He saw him there, and I thought to myself, my God sees me here on this trail, I’m not alone! Glory to God. Jesus said, My sheep hear me when I call to them, I know them and they know me (I’m paraphrasing).

The News is always there, always churning out new horrible stories. The truth is none of it is “News” to my Lord, He knows the End from the Beginning and in Him is my comfort. I don’t just sit at my computer or gaze into my phone searching for the next story to post. Sometimes, shocker, I’m out living life. I have a blessed life, I know Jesus and He knows me. One last praise and then tomorrow I’ll find a horrible tragedy to write about. On my way back I started to run because I felt safe on the trail and strong in spirit and I’m one who likes to trail blaze. As I was running down a group of hikers were on their way up. The first young woman saw me and yelled, “RUNNER!” and hugged the trail head so I could pass, then after two hikers heard her they all sort of did the same thing, yelling “RUNNER!” and made way for me to pass them. I thanked them all and kept running and then a smirk appeared on my face, “Wow God, they called me a “Runner!” and I just laughed. I am a runner, even on the trail I find a sweet spot to run.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, ² Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. ³ For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” Hebrews 12:1-3

DHS Released Over 2,000 Immigrants

Reblogged from CBS DC:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department released from its jails more than 2,000 illegal immigrants facing deportation in recent weeks due to looming budget cuts and planned to release 3,000 more during March, The Associated Press has learned.

The newly disclosed figures, cited in internal budget documents reviewed by the AP, are significantly higher than the "few hundred" illegal immigrants the Obama administration acknowledged this week had been released under the budget-savings process.

Read more… 917 more words

Here in Arizona just over 300 illegals were released back into the community. I also read there were a few hundred released in Chicago which is not mentioned in the article. These releases began nearly two weeks before "Sequester." Remember ICE is a federal institution. Janet Napolitano was the former Governor of Arizona, a border state, and she utterly failed at securing the border however she was tagged as Department of Homeland Security Secretary not because she was successful at curbing the influx of Mexican Cartel but because she is a compromised individual who honors 'deals' over public safety. In the area of Domestic Terrorism, from Loughner, Holmes, Lanza, to Dorner, Janet Napolitano has failed. The famed, "Fast and Furious," were agents were willingly and knowingly selling arms to Mexican cartel over the US/Mexico border happened on her watch as well. This women needs to exit, I can think of a few agencies and department heads that if removed could save us quite a bit of money. Obama has moved faster on releasing Illegal Aliens than closing Gitmo, that should speak volumes. Obama wants chaos in our streets, he needs local law enforcement to fail so he can impliment his federal croonies and the military. You don't think all those soldiers coming back are going to go unemployed do you?

Breaking: Christopher Dorner is he real or is he an Obama Plant? #Manhunt

Breaking news to my N4TM readers:

I deeply apologize for not knowing yesterday what I know today. I’m very upset and disappointed in myself for not investigating more. After seeing random tweets yesterday concerning Mr. Dorner’s “FULL” Manifesto where he expressed a love and admiration for all things public liberal media policy I couldn’t help but look into their claims. As I stated yesterday, this “Manhunt” is real, there are real officers looking for this man, there is real grief for the families who’ve lost their loved one; however, with all that being said no one can negate the fact that the Main Stream Media is playing a HUGE game here and is ultimately going to have to give an account as to why they suppress information, release false information, and deliberately create false stories to perpetuate an administration’s anti-constitutional agenda.

Without further ado, here are the missing pages from the Manifesto that I linked to yesterday: (N4TM commentary at end)

“Whatever pre-planned responses you have established for a scenario like me, shelve it. Whatever contingency plan you have, shelve it. Whatever tertiary plan you’ve created, shelve it. I am a walking exigent circumstance with no OFF or reset button. JRIC, DOJ, LASD, FBI and other local LE can’t assist and should not involve themselves in a matter that does not concern them. For all other agencies, do not involve yourself in this capture or recovery of me. Look at the big picture of the situation. They (LAPD) created the situation. I will harm no outside agency unless it is a deadly force/IDOL situation. With today’s budgeting and fiscal mess, you guys can not afford lose several officers to IOD or KIA/EOW. Plus, other officers should not have to take on the additional duties and responsibilities of dead officers. Think about their families, outside agencies, Chiefs/Directors.

Outside agencies and individual officers on patrol. If you recognize my vehicle, and confirm it is my vehicle thru a dmv/want warrant check. It behoves you to respond to dispatch that your query was for information purposes only. If you proceed with a traffic stop or attempt to notify other officers of my location or for backup you will not live to see the medal of valor you were hoping to receive for your actions. Think before you attempt to intervene. You will not survive. Your family will receive that medal of valor posthumously. It will gather dust on the fireplace mantel for years. Then one day, it will go in a shoe box with other memories. Your mother will lose a son or daughter. Your significant other will be left alone, but they will find someone else to fill your void in the future and make them just as happy. Your children, if you have them, will call someone else mommy or daddy. Don’t be selfish. Your vest is only a level II or IIIA, think about it.

The Violence of action will be HIGH. I am the reason TAC alert was established. I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty.
If you had a well regulated AWB, this would not happen. The time is now to reinstitute a ban that will save lives. Why does any sportsman need a 30 round magazine for hunting? Why does anyone need a suppressor? Why does anyone need a AR15 rifle? This is the same small arms weapons system utilized in eradicating Al Qaeda, Taliban, and every enemy combatant since the Vietnam war. Don’t give me that crap that its not a select fire or full auto rifle like the DoD uses. That’s bullshit because troops who carry the M-4/M-16 weapon system for combat ops outside the wire rarely utilize the select fire function when in contact with enemy combatants. The use of select fire probably isn’t even 1% in combat. So in essence, the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle is the same as the M-4/M-16. These do not need to be purchased as easily as walking to your local Walmart or striking the enter key on your keyboard to “add to cart”. All the firearms utilized in my activities are registered to me and were legally purchased at gun stores and private party transfers. All concealable weapons (pistols) were also legally register in my name at police stations or FFL’s. Unfortunately, are you aware that I obtained class III weapons (suppressors) without a background check thru NICS or DROS completely LEGALLY several times? I was able to use a trust account that I created on quicken will maker and a $10 notary charge at a mailbox etc. to obtain them legally. Granted, I am not a felon, nor have a DV misdemeanor conviction or active TRO against me on a NCIC file. I can buy any firearm I want, but should I be able to purchase these class III weapons (SBR’s, and suppressors) without a background check and just a $10 notary signature on a quicken will maker program? The answer is NO. I’m not even a resident of the state i purchased them in. Lock n Load just wanted money so they allow you to purchase class III weapons with just a notarized trust, military ID. Shame on you, Lock n Load. NFA and ATF need new laws and policies that do not allow loopholes such as this. In the end, I hope that you will realize that the small arms I utilize should not be accessed with the ease that I obtained them. Who in there right mind needs a fucking silencer!!! who needs a freaking SBR AR15? No one. No more Virginia Tech, Columbine HS, Wisconsin temple, Aurora theatre, Portland malls, Tucson rally, Newtown Sandy Hook. Whether by executive order or thru a bi-partisan congress an assault weapons ban needs to be re-instituted. Period!!!

Mia Farrow said it best. “Gun control is no longer debatable, it’s not a conversation, its a moral mandate.”

Sen. Feinstein, you are doing the right thing in leading the re-institution of a national AWB. Never again should any public official state that their prayers and thoughts are with the family. That has become cliche’ and meaningless. Its time for action. Let this be your legacy that you bestow to America. Do not be swayed by obstacles, antagaonist, and naysayers. Remember the innocent children at Austin, Kent, Stockton, Fullerton, San Diego, Iowa City, Jonesboro, Columbine, Nickel Mines, Blacksburg, Springfield, Red Lake, Chardon, Aurora, and Newtown. Make sure this never happens again!!!

In my cache you will find several small arms. In the cache, Bushmaster firearms, Remington precision rifles, and AAC Suppressors (silencers). All of these small arms are manufactured by Cerberus/Freedom Group. The same company responsible for the Portland mall shooting, Webster , NY, and Sandy Hook massacre.

You disrespect the office of the POTUS/Presidency and Commander in Chief. You call him Kenyan, mongroid, halfrican, muslim, and FBHO when in essence you are to address him as simply, President. The same as you did to President George W. Bush and all those in the highest ranking position of our land before him. Just as I always have. You question his birth certificate, his educational and professional accomplishments, and his judeo-christian beliefs. You make disparaging remarks about his dead parents. You never questioned the fact that his former opponent, the honorable Senator John McCain, was not born in the CONUS or that Bush had a C average in his undergrad. Electoral Candidates children (Romney) state they want to punch the president in the face during debates with no formal repercussions. No one even questioned the fact that the son just made a criminal threat toward the President. You call his wife a Wookie. Off the record, I love your new bangs, Mrs. Obama. A woman whose professional and educational accomplishments are second to none when compared to recent First wives. You call his supporters, whether black, brown, yellow, or white, leeches, FSA, welfare recipients, and ni$&er lovers. You say this openly without any discretion. Before you start with your argument that you believe I would vote for Obama because he has the same skin color as me, fuck you. I didn’t vote in this last election as my choice of candidate, John Huntsman, didn’t win the primary candidacy for his party. Mr. President, I haven’t agreed with all of your decisions but of course I haven’t agreed with all of your predecessors decisions. I think you’ve done a hell of a job with what you have been dealt and how you have managed it. I shed a tear the night you were initially elected President in 2008. I never thought that day would occur. A black man elected president in the U.S. in my lifetime. I cracked a smiled when you were re-elected in 2012 because I really didn’t think you were going to pull that one off. Romney, stop being a sore loser. You could’ve exited graciously and still contributed significantly to public service, not now. Mr. President, get back to work. Many want to see you fail as they have stated so many times previously. Unfortunately, if you fail, the U.S. fails but your opponents do not concern themselves about the big picture. Do not forget your commitment to transparency in your administration. Sometimes I believe your administration forgets that. America, you will realize today and tomorrow that this world is made up of all human beings who have the same general needs and wants in life for themselves, their kin, community, and state. That is the freedom to LIVE and LOVE. They may eat different foods, enjoy different music, have different dialects, or speak a second language, but in essence are no different from you and I. This is America. We are not a perfect sovereign country as we have our own flaws but we are the closest that will ever exist.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time an authoritative figure has lied on me.

Mr. Freid, assistant principal, Cypress HS. Remember when you lied to my mother and the police officer in your office about stating that you never stated to me in a private conversation that you know the theft suspect (Miranda) stole my watch. Let me refresh your memory. A physical education teachers assistant, a student, stole the list of combination codes to peoples lockers, from the P.E. teacher. That student then opened many of those lockers and stole students personal property. My watch was taken in that multi theft an I reported it to you. A week later you discovered that the theft suspect was Paul Miranda, a student. You stated to me in private that you know for a fact he stole my property. When I attempted to retrieve my property from the suspect. Campus security was called and you lied and stated that you never stated to me that you “know he stole my watch”. You sat there and lied to their faces right in front of me. You said it with such a deliberate, stern face. I never forgot that and was not surprised when 13 years later I was lied on again in the BOR by Teresa Evans. maybe you can confess to your family at the very least in the private of your own home. After that, contact my mother and apologize for lying to her in 1996.

If possible, I want my brain preserved for science/research to study the effects of severe depression on an individual’s brain. Since 6/26/08 when I was relieved of duty and 1/2/09 when I was terminated I have been afflicted with severe depression. I’ve had two CT scans during my lifetime that are in my medical record at Kaiser Permanente. Both are from concussions resulting from playing football. The first one was in high school, 10/96. The second was in college and occurred in 10/99. Both were conducted at Kaiser Permanente hospitals in LA/Orange county. These two CT scans should give a good baseline for my brain activity before severe depression began in late 2008.

Sure, many of you “law enforcement experts and specialist” will state, “in all my years this is the worst……..”, Stop!!! That’s not important. Ask yourselves what would cause somebody to take these drastic measures like I did. That’s what is important.

To my friends listed below, I wish we could have grown old together and spent more time together. When you reminisce of our friendship and experiences, think of that and that only. Do not dwell on my recent actions the last few days. This was a necessary evil that had to be executed in order for me to obtain my NAME back. The only thing that changes policy and garners attention is death.

Luis Sanchez, greatest friend, Marine officer, aviator, and an even better father and husband. I Couldn’t have had a better big brother than you. Your spoken wisdom was always retained by me, you old salty Mustang. You sternly told me that no matter what I accomplish I will always be a ni#%er in many individuals eyes. At the time, I did not comprehend your words. I do now. I never forgot the quote you state below. I love you bro.

I never saw a wild thing feel sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever feeling sorry for itself. –D.H. Lawrence

Jason Valadao, greatest friend, Naval officer, aviator, Great Father, husband, doctor, and even better human being. I always strived to live my life parallel to your similar values and personal disciplines. Danika is lucky to have found a man like yourself, and you are fortunate to have married an irrefutable imperfect woman. Always focus on your IMMEDIATE family as they are the ones who have loved you unconditionally and always been their to support you in difficult times. I always lived my life as WWJD (what would Jason do). Danika, take care of this guy. Jason, I’m sorry I missed your wedding and you had to find another best man. I’m sorry my predicament with the department stopped me from watching you and Danika get married and arguing with you about issues that were insignificant when I was really angry at the LAPD for what they did to me. I’m deeply sorry and I love you guys.

James Usera, great friend, attorney, father, husband, and the most cynical/blatant/politically incorrect friend a man can have. Best quality about you in college and now is that you never sugar coated the truth. I will miss our political discussions that always turned argumentative. Thanks for introducing me to outdoor sports like fishing, hunting, mudding, and also respect for the land and resources. Us city boys don’t get out much like you Alaskans. You even introduced me to PBR. A beer, that when you’re a poor college student is completely acceptable to get buzzed off of. I’m sorry I’ll never get to go on that moose and bear hunt with you. I love you bro.

Kinta Smith, greatest friend, accountant, entrepreneur, and even better Human being. You are probably the most well balanced person I’ve ever met and the most driven for success. In college, and after graduation, I was inspired by your personal drive. Never settle. When you make your first million, promise me you won’t forget to enjoy it a bit. I know your first reaction will be to invest it somewhere else. Spend a little, just a little. I love you bro.

Jason Young, great friend, entrepeneur, husband and father. You showed me the importance of fatherhood and friendship. Love you bro.

Suzie Clark Cunningham, Kassandra Harrell, Melinda Yates, Cal Jackson, Ryan Smith, The Rebelledos, The Banks, Ben Bines, J. Work, Bill O’neill, Jeremy Fletcher, and Rob Harriston.

You guys were all important and very special to me. Don’t be angry with me. I missed some of your weddings and unfortunately, some of your funerals. This was a necessary evil.

Some say it is my fault that I was terminated. Yes, DDX, I remember you stating this to me in an angry fit. You said that I should have kept my mouth shut about another officer’s misconduct. Maybe you were right. But I’m not built like others, it’s not in my DNA and my history has always shown that. When you view the video of the suspect stating he was kicked by Evans, maybe you will see that I was a decent person after all. I told the truth. It still hurt that you abandoned me in my time of need. I hope you’re happy, that’s all I ever wanted for you.

Sgt. Leonard Perez, you meant well but you should have known with your time on the job that the department would attempt to protect someone like Evans because of her time on the job, personal friendships, and ethicity. I’m not angry with you, but you should have known as an IA investigator.

Sgt Maggie Faust LPPD, Ofcr John Thomas LPPD (ret), and Chief Eric Nunez LPPD, your guidance and mentoring as a young police explorer was second to none and invaluable as a young man, police officer, and naval officer. Sgt Faust, you forewarned me long ago about joining LAPD as they were “different” and operated differently from other modern law enforcement agencies. I now know it was your humbleness and respect for all who wear the badge and protect their communities that you didn’t just express what you wanted to say, that they lack values and basic ethics as law enforcement officers. Chief Nunez, your fucking awesome. Thanks for the long talks over the years when I was an explorer, college student, Naval officer, and Police officer. Your are a great leader and carry your heart on your sleeve. Your son will be a great Air Force officer with the upringing you provided. John, what can I say? Your just an awesome person and my first exposure to what law enforcement was really about was on our ride alongs. Your realistic approach and empathetic approach to treating all people as humans first is something I carried with me daily. Thank you, every one of you.

Dr. Funahashi, thank you for the superb surgery you performed on my knee on 7/98 in Irvine, CA. I never had the opportunity to thank you for allowing me to live a life free of knee joint pain. Thank you.

CM1 Bissett (Ret.), I learned more from you about leadership than most of my own commanders. You lived by a strict ethos of get it done, and get it done right. I wanted to attend your retirement, I really did. But because of my predicament I was unable to. Hope you and Ritchie are still together. I’ve always held you in high regard.

Sgt Maj. Kenneth “Rock” Rocquemore USMC, Thank you for the intense instruction and mentorship and time spent forging me into a never quit officer. You were challenging as a DI. You made sure the vicious and intense personality I possess was discovered. On a lighter note….Don’t feel humbled you never broke me. I made it a personal goal to never give up years before. The Corp is lucky to have you at the front. Your leadership is essential and needed for all marines, especially staff NCO’s and mentorship and advisement to company grade officers. You are the epitome of a US marine and never forget that.

I thank my friends for the awesome shared experiences. I thank the unnamed women I dated over my lifetime for the great and sometimes not so great sex.

It’s kind of sad I won’t be around to view and enjoy The Hangover III. What an awesome trilogy. Todd Phillips, don’t make anymore Hangovers after the third, takes away the originality of its foundation. World War Z looks good and The Walking Dead season 3 (second half) looked intriguing. Damn, gonna miss shark week.

Mr. Vice President, do your due diligence when formulating a concise and permanent national AWB plan. Future generations of Americans depend on your plan and advisement to the president. I’ve always been a fan of yours and consider you one of the few genuine and charismatic politicians. Damn, sounds like an oxymoron calling you an honest politician. It’s the truth.

Hillary Clinton. You’ll make one hell of a president in 2016. Much like your husband, Bill, you will be one of the greatest. Look at Castro in San Antonio as a running mate or possible secretary of state. He’s (good people) and I have faith and confidence in him. Look after Bill. He was always my favorite President. Chelsea grew up to be one hell of an attractive woman. No disrespect to her husband.

Gov. Chris Christie. What can I say? You’re the only person I would like to see in the White House in 2016 other than Hillary. You’re America’s no shit taking uncle. Do one thing for your wife, kids, and supporters. Start walking at night and eat a little less, not a lot less, just a little. We want to see you around for a long time. Your leadership is greatly needed.

Wayne LaPierre, President of the NRA, you’re a vile and inhumane piece of shit. You never even showed 30 seconds of empathy for the children, teachers, and families of Sandy Hook. You deflected any type of blame/responsibility and directed it toward the influence of movies and the media. You are a failure of a human being. May all of your immediate and distant family die horrific deaths in front of you.

Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work and follow Cronkite’s lead. I hold many of you in the same regard as Tom Brokaw and the late Peter Jennings. Cooper, stop nagging and berating your guest, they’re your (guest). Mr. Scarborough, we met at McGuire’s pub in P-cola in 2002 when I was stationed there. It was an honor conversing with you about politics, family, and life.

Willie Geist, you’re a talented and charismatic journalist. Stop with all the talk show shenanigans and get back to your core of reporting. Your future is brighter than most.

Revoke the citizenship of Fareed Zakaria and deport him. I’ve never heard a positive word about America or its interest from his mouth, ever. On the same day, give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card. Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws but you must understand that your critics will always have in the back of their mind that you are native to a country that we won our sovereignty from while using firearms as a last resort in defense and you come from a country that has no legal private ownership of firearms. That is disheartening to American gun owners and rightfully so.

The honorable President George H.W. Bush, they never give you enough credit for your successful Presidency. You were always one of my favorite Presidents (2nd favorite). I hope your health improves greatly. You are the epitome of an American and service to country.

General Petraeus, you made a mistake that the majority of men make once, twice, or unfortunately many times in a lifetime. You are human. You thought with your penis. It’s okay.I personally believe you should have never resigned and told your critics to shove it. You only answer to two people regarding the affair, your wife and children, period. I hope you return to government service to your country as it is visibly in your DNA.

General Colin Powell, your book “My American Journey” solidified my decision to join the military after college. I had always intended to serve, but your book and journey motivated me. You are an inspiration to all Americans and influenced me greatly.

To all SEA’s (senior enlisted advisers), you are just as important if not a greater viability to large and small commands. It’s time you take a more active role in leading your enlisted and advising officers. These are not your twilight years or time to relax. You can either strengthen the tip of the spear, or make it brittle. You decide.

Pat Harvey, I’ve always thought you carried yourself professionally and personally the way a strong black woman should. Your articulation and speech is second to none. You are the epitome of a journalist/anchor. You are America.

Ellen Degeneres, continue your excellent contribution to entertaining America and bringing the human factor to entertainment. You changed the perception of your gay community and how we as Americans view the LGBT community. I congratulate you on your success and opening my eyes as a young adult, and my generation to the fact that you are know different from us other than who you choose to love. Oh, and you Prop 8 supporters, why the fuck do you care who your neighbor marries. Hypocritical pieces of shit.

Westboro Baptist Church, may you all burn slowly in a fire, not from smoke inhalation, but from the flames and only the flames.

Tebow, I really wanted to see you take charge of an offense again and the game. You are not a good QB by todays standards, but you are a great football player who knows how to lead a team and WIN. You will be “Tebowing” when you reach your next team. I have faith in you. Get out of that circus they call the Jets and away from the reality TV star, Rex Ryan, and Mark Rapist Sanchez.

Christopher Walz, you impressed me in Inglorious Basterds. After viewing Django Unchained, I was sold. I have come to the conclusion that you are well on your way to becoming one of the greats if not already and show glimpses of Daniel Day Lewis and Morgan Freeman-esque type qualities of greatness. Trust me when I say that you will be one of the greatest ever.

Jennifer Beals, Serena Williams, Grae Drake, Lisa Nicole-Carson, Diana Taurasi, N’bushe Wright, Brenda Villa, Kate Winslet, Ashley Graham, Erika Christensen, Gabrielle Union, Isabella Soprano, Zain Verjee, Tamron Hall, Gina Carano, America Ferrara, Giana Michaels, Nene, Natalie Portman, Queen Latifah, Michelle Rodriguez, Anjelah Johnson, Kelly Clarkson, Nora Jones, Laura Prepon, Margaret Cho, and Rutina Wesley, you are THE MOST beautiful women on this planet, period. Never settle, professionally or personally.

Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five” is the greatest piece of music ever, period. Hanz Zimmer, William Bell, Eric Clapton, BB King, Bob Marley, Sam Cooke, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Nora Jones, Marvin Gaye, Jay-Z, and the King (Louis Armstrong) are musical prodigies.

Jeffrey Toobin and David Gergen, you are political geniuses and modern scholars. Hopefully Toobin is nominated for the Supreme Court and implements some damn common sense and reasoning instead of partisan bickering. But in true Toobin fashion, we all know he would not accept the nomination.

John and Ken from KFI, never mute your facts and personal opinions. You are one of the few media personalities who speak the truth, even when the truth is not popular. I will miss listening to your discussions.

Bill Handel, your effin awesome. For years I enjoyed your show.

Anthony Bourdain, you’re a modern renaissance man who epitomizes the saying “too cool for school”.

Larry David, Kevin Hart, the late Patrice Oneal, Lisa Lampanelli, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld, Louis CK, Dave Chapelle, Jon Stewart, Wanda Sykes, Dennis Miller, and Jeff Ross are pure geniuses. I’m a big fan of all of your work. As a child my mom caught me watching Def Jam comedy at midnight when I should have been asleep. Instead of scolding me, the next night she let me stay up late and watch George Carlin, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor comedy specials with her for hours. My sides were sore for days.

Larry David, I agree. 72-82 degrees is way to hot in a residence. 68 , degrees is perfect.

Cyclist, I have no problem sharing the road with you. But, at least go the fucking speed limit posted or get off the road!!! That is a feasible request. Livestrong you fraudulent assholes.

Cardinal Mahoney, you are in essence a predator yourself as you enabled your subordinates to molest multiple children in the church over many decades. May you die a long and slow painful death.

If you continuously followed me while I was walking at dusk/night I would confront you as well. Too bad Trayvon didn’t smash your skull completely open, Zim. While Trayvon’s body erodes to bones 6 feet under, Zimmerman has put on no less than 40 pounds while out on bail. Zimmerman was arrested for battery on a Peace officer and avoided jail/prison because he completed a diversion program. Thats a history of being an asshole. Zimmerman couldn’t get hired by a LE agency because of poor credit/and a history of violence/restraining orders with women. So what does he do? Designate himself, neighborhood watch captain and make complaints to his city council about the horrible work ethic and laziness of the officers patrolling his neighborhood. Good one Zim. How classy that your father attempts to use his veterans status “disabled veteran” during your bail hearing but doesn’t state what his disability percentage is. Prior service personnel know it can be 5% disability to 100%. You and your attorneys always avoid mentioning your fathers occupation as a magistrate/judge because I’m sure he’s utilized his position to get you out of way more jams then the public has discovered and that your family is not indigent. Oh, tell your wife to stop perjuring herself in court.

KCCO

Anonymous, you are hated, vilified, and considered an enemy to the state. I personally view you as a culture and a necessity that brings truth to a cloaked world. Forge ahead!

Charlie Sheen, you’re effin awesome.

My opinion on women in combat MOS’, Designators, Rates, and AFSC’s. I wish all of you who attempt to pursue combat occupational roles the greatest success in completing, graduating, and qualifying in their respective schools/courses. Many want to see you fail. Remember, everyone of you is a pioneer. There was a time when they didn’t allow blacks to fight the good fight. This is your civil rights. Don’t quit!!!

It’s time to allow gay service member’s spouses to utilize the same benefits that all heterosexual dependents are eligible for. Medical, Dental, Tricare, Deers, SGLI, BX, Commissary, Milstar, MWR, etc. Flag officers, lets be honest. You can’t really give a valid argument to as why gays shouldn’t be eligible as every month a new state enacts laws that allow same sex marriage.

LGBT community and supporters, the same way you have the right to voice your opinion on acceptance of gay marriage, Chick Fil-A has a right to voice their beliefs as well. That’s what makes America so great. Freedom of expression. Don’t be assholes and boycott/degrade their business and customers who patronize the locations. They make some damn good chicken! Vandalizing (graffiti) their locations does not help any cause.

Mr. Bill Cosby, you are a reasonable and talented man who has spoken the truth of the cultural anomalies within the black communities that need to change now. The black communities’ resentment toward you is because they don’t like hearing the truth or having their clear and evident dirty laundry aired to the nation. The problem is, the country is not blind nor dumb. They believe we are animals. Do not mute your unvarnished truthful speech or moral compass. Blacks must strive for more in life than bling, hoes, and cars. The current culture is an epidemic that leaves them with no discernible future. They’re suffocating and don’t even know it. MLK Jr. Would be mortified at what he worked so hard for in our acceptance as equal beings and how unfortunately we stopped progressing and began digressing. Chicago’s youth violence is a prime example of how our black communities values have declined. We can not address this nation’s intolerant issues until we address our own communities morality issues first. Accountability. We need to hold ou”

N4TM Commentary:

I’m so sickened by this ‘new’ development. There are real people putting their lives in danger over this sick game that Dorner and the MSM are playing. I postulated last night that perhaps this was politically driven, and that cogitation was made without having read the remaining missing pages of the “Manifesto”( contents above) (if it’s even Dorner’s words). Does the CIA and the DOD really have nothing else to do then to play with people’s minds and people’s lives to further this Administration’s Anti-America agenda? Who is running this government anyway?! What tipped me off this morning was rethinking the Anderson Cooper Care Package that he was sent. According to reports Anderson Cooper of CNN received a parcel from “Christopher Jordan Dorner” on February 1, 2013. In the package was a DVD, a post it note, and a commemorative coin with bullet holes in it. Supposedly Cooper didn’t know about it until yesterday. These questions and the mention of Dorner’s adoration for Hollywood lead me to investigate further this morning. Also, notice how many grammar and misspelled words are in this portion of the Manifesto as well as the use of slang that was not attributed in the first 11 pages-once again if it’s real at all.

Facts (as we are spoon fed by MSM):

• Feb. 1st Anderson Cooper gets a sCare package by Dorner that is opened by someone but done nothing about?
• Feb. 3rd Monica Quan, 28, and her fiancé, Keith Lawrence, 27, were fatally shot Sunday while sitting in their car on the top level of a parking structure in the 2100 block of Scholarship Drive, according to Irvine police.
• Feb. 7th Three officers were shot — two in Riverside, one in Corona — during the search early Thursday for a former Los Angeles Police Department officer wanted in connection with a double slaying in Irvine. (One officer killed) 1:30 am
• Feb. 7th Dorner’s vehicle is found in Big Bear, CA smoldering from being torched. Subsequently the area was evacuated. Although reports say people are free to return to the Resort the local schools remained closed for Friday Feb. 8th.

This man’s picture has been released of him overweight, although he could be thin right now we don’t really know. The man was fired from LAPD in 2008. I have some questions for the MSM media and the investigators who are really looking for him can take note:

• Why has Dorner waited all this time to seek revenge?
• Where has he been in the last five years?
• What jobs did he have to support himself?
• Was he on welfare?
• Did he ever leave the country outside of working for the Navy?
• Does he now or did he ever work for CNN and or any of it’s affiliates as a media consultant or liaison or did he ever work with or know Mr. Anderson Cooper prior to sending him a parcel?
• Does the Media/Administration truly believe that the American people are stupid enough to believe a story like this? I mean truly, kudos for involving real life police departments on this one and creating such a high level of emotion, greater than Sandy Hook possibly if this continues and “Dorner” is able to kill any more people. I’m disgusted beyond belief right now. I’ll be taking a break from this charade and return later after I’ve had time to re-access. Again I apologize to those who return to N4TM for information, yesterday I would have posted the ENTIRE “Manifesto” had I had it at the time. Who is Christopher Jordan Dorner really?

*Update*

Dorner Manhunt: Police Facilities on High Alert Across SoCal

One of Dorner’s old friends, who is mentioned in his manifesto, is having trouble believing this is the same person knew — although Dorner did mention that he had an issue with the LAPD.

“He certainly didn’t express any indication that he had violent tendencies or was out for retribution or anything of that nature,” college friend James Usera told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

“Needless to say, the events of the past  couple days come as a very great shock to me.”  Read more: http://ktla.com/2013/02/08/security-beefed-up-at-police-facilities-across-socal/#ixzz2KKmLBnoU   Read more at http://ktla.com/2013/02/08/security-beefed-up-at-police-facilities-across-socal/#ti91b8TMqXdASLd4.99

N4TM- maybe it’s not him (Dorner) at all.

Publicity Stunt Extraordinaire: Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s Posse to start Patrolling Schools

“Sheriff Joe” has done it again. His insatiable thirst for media knows no bounds. He has declared Barack Obama’s birth certificate as “fraudulent,” declaring to see proof of citizenship via propaganda mouth piece of CNP (Council of National Policy) World Net Daily (.com).*No link is ever an endorsement. Joe has exploited fears of Mexican infestation by hunting down illegals working in Maricopa County and throwing them back over the southern border. He has instituted his “Hollywood Posse” to patrol the border and malls during the Christmas shopping season. He puts his inmates in pink boxers and pink jumpsuits, and his latest media stunt: “Send armed sworn in civilians to protect Maricopa County Schools via horse patrol to designated grade schools that are in “his” vicinity of authority.” What he is really doing is exploiting the shooting that happened in Newtown, politicizing it just as much as those Cretans who want to eliminate all gun ownership over the massacre as well; in my opinion, Joe is twisted and sick and now his Posse is going to be in front of schools.

Perspective is Everything.

I once lived in the liberal commie state of California. You know “Cali,” it’s full of heathens and homos (sarcasm), anyway, in California it appeared that Sheriff Joe was just doing what every hot blooded American Sheriff should be doing, enforcing the law. It wasn’t until I moved out to Arizona that I began to see behind the curtain. I’ve written before on how I am “pro-Immigration Reform” but this does not translate into me being a supporter of Joe Arpaio or even close to agreement with him on any of his policies or actions he’s employed to exert his magisterial powers. Now that I’ve been living in Arizona for over eight years I realize what this man really is. He’s an opportunist, an attention seeker, a politician, and a major puppet for whatever the shadow government requires of him at the time. If you look at his track record he’s always in the news over something and it is without fail that he mysteriously gets re-elected each time his time is up. Jan Brewer is no “conservative” either folks, but that’s another post.

What he says he’s doing he is not really doing but that’s not what the MSM headlines read.

Initiate if you would your imagination when you read a headline such as this,”Sheriff Joe to start patrolling Schools.” You may immediately think of patrol cars armed to the hilt driving past every elementary, junior high, and high school in the greater phoenix area since it’s “Sheriff Joe” right? Wrong. It’s his armed Posse, which is made up of regular folks who have had their own run-ins with the law who are armed and sworn in by Sheriff Joe to protect and to serve (voluntarily=without pay, but insured by Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office). In Hollywood California you call those people, “Extras.” You may recall that Sheriff Joe has once employed celebrities like Shaquille O’Neal (now no longer a Posse member) or Lou Ferrigno (first Hulk on TV), or Steven Segal (former eighties martial arts action movie star, just a hair better at speaking than Van Damme). From what I read recently it appears Segal is no longer a Posse member either, so it’s entirely up to Hulk to save Maricopa county (where is Iron Man?). Here’s what’s really going on, the “Posse,” is going to patrol the outlying areas of certain schools because they can’t go on the school grounds but Sheriff Joe does not need their approval to have them in the area. They will be at some schools not all the schools, just the ones that are close enough for the journalists in Phoenix to drive to and or air from with enough time to get back on the freeway and make it home in time for dinner. What is the point of all this? Most of the school shootings are from kids who attend the school themselves who bring the weapons in and do the mass killing. It’s not as common for school shootings to be from the outside in, like Newtown was; however, even there we see that the killer Adam Lanza had access to the school and was on the grounds the day before the shooting in a heated argument with an undisclosed person; and, on the day of the shooting he was buzzed in, only to be later refuted and re-reported as though he broke in but we’ll never truly know.

Newtown’s 15 minutes are up long before Psy’s?

Sheriff Joe Arpaio may not have read this recent post concerning NRA’s executive Vice President, Wayne LaPierre, here’s a quote from the guy who advocated armed guards in class rooms 3 weeks ago:

“Noting that the massacre was “almost a month ago” and that all of the victims had been laid to rest, the frustrated lobbyist said he couldn’t help but think the nation’s continued efforts to mourn victims and its protracted discussions of gun control were “a little much” at this point.

“I get that this horrible thing happened and all these kids are dead now, but honestly, how long are we going to keep talking about this?” the gun advocate said as he scanned a recent editorial on weapons permits, adding that “enough’s enough, you know?” “Everywhere I go it’s Newtown this, Newtown that. Meanwhile, it’s 2013, and we’re still talking about some shooting that happened last year. Seriously, move on already.”

“I mean, jeez, it’s not as if talking about them will bring them back,” he added. “Let’s just get over it.”

The longtime NRA head acknowledged that as someone who has followed dozens of mass shootings over the years, he had anticipated roughly a week or so of mourning following the deadly tragedy, but “nothing like this, for God’s sake.” Source: The Onion

Apparently it’s easier for an Anti-American pop sensation (Psy) singing a song no one knows the lyrics to to stay in the spotlight for all of 2012 than for the deaths of 20 children and 6 adults in a school in the same country. Since I don’t have cable I don’t know if Fox News jumped on this quote from LaPierre or if it’s liberal commie frenemy CNN has, but it’s probably safe to assume that everyone wants to move on with Gun Control and debt ceilings rather than hold any of these media pansies to the fire. Sheriff Joe Arpaio was sworn in today, January 7th 2013, his sixth term.

*The Following information was taken from “School Killers: The List” via TruTv source Here*

January 1979 Brenda Spencer, 17, got a rifle for Christmas and used it to shoot into an elementary school across the street from her home in San Diego, California. Eight children and a police officer were injured, and two men lost their lives protecting the kids. When the six-hour standoff finally ended, Brenda explained with a shrug, “I don’t like Mondays.”

March 2, 1987 Nathan Ferris,12, was an honor student in Missouri, where he finally got tired of being teased. He brought a pistol to school and when a classmate made fun of him, he killed the other boy. Then he turned the gun on himself. He had warned a friend not to attend school that day, signaling his plans, but no one had listened to this overweight loner.

Stephen Abbot & Jamie Rouse (AP)

November 15th, 1995 Jamie Rouse, 17, dressed in black, went into Richland School in Giles County, Tennessee, with a .22-calibre Remington Viper. He shot two teachers in the head, one of them fatally. Then with a smile, he took aim at the football coach, but a female student walked into his path and was killed with a shot to the throat. Rouse had told five friends exactly how he had planned this killing, but no one had called for help.

Barry Loukaitis (AP)

• February 2, 1996 Barry Loukaitis, 14, dressed up like a gunslinger from the Wild West and went into his algebra class in Moses Lake, Washington. Concealed in his long duster were two pistols, seventy-eight rounds of ammunition, and a high-powered rifle. His first victim was 14-year-old Manuel Vela, who later died. Another classmate fell with a bullet to his chest, and then Loukaitis shot his teacher in the back as she was writing a problem on the blackboard. A 13-year-old girl took the fourth bullet in her arm. Then the shooter took hostages, allowing the wounded to be removed, but was stymied by a teacher who rushed him and put an end to the irrational siege. In all, three people died, and Loukaitis blamed “mood swings.” A classmate claimed that Loukaitis had thought it would be “fun” to go on a killing spree.
• February 2, 1996 David Dubose, Jr., 16, killed a teacher in a school hallway in Atlanta, Georgia.
• January 27, 1997 Tronneal Mangum, 13, shot and killed another student in front of their school.
• February 19, 1997 Evan Ramsey, 16, went to Bethel High School in Alaska with a shotgun. This is the place where other kids called him “retarded” and “spaz.” He killed a boy with whom he’d argued and then injured two other students. Then he went to the administration office and shot the principal, Ron Edwards, killing him instantly. Police came quickly and ended the rampage, which appeared to be motivated only by some amorphous rage. Two fourteen-year-old friends who had discussed Ramsey’s plan with him were arrested as accomplices.

Luke Woodham (AP)

• October 1, 1997 Luke Woodham, 16, worshipped Adolph Hitler, perhaps because it made him feel powerful in light of the bullying he received from classmates in Pearl, Mississippi. When his girlfriend broke up with him, he went into a rage. He slashed and stabbed his mother that morning, then went to school with a rifle and a pistol. Right away he killed his former girlfriend and then another girl. Yet he didn’t stop there. Seven other students were wounded before he ran out of ammunition. He returned to his car for his other gun, and that’s where the assistant principal disarmed him. He complained that the world had wronged him and he just couldn’t take it anymore.
  “I killed because people like me are mistreated every day,” he said. “I did this to show society: Push us and we will push back.”
  Two members of his group devoted to Hitler were charged as accessories to murder, and others were arrested on the basis of a conspiracy, but those charges were later dismissed. Woodham claimed at trial that he’d been possessed by demons that were manipulated by a member of his group.

Michael Carneal (AP)

• December 1, 1997 Michael Carneal, 14, liked to wear black and was thought by classmates in Paducah, Kentucky, to be a Satanist. That morning, he brought a gun to school and opened fire on a small prayer group. Three girls died and five other students were wounded. Another student tackled him, and it was soon revealed that Carneal had a pistol, two rifles, and two shotguns, along with 700 rounds of ammunition, all of it stolen. He’d threatened earlier to “shoot up” the school, but no one had taken him seriously.

Andrew Golden & Mitchell Johnson (AP)

March 24, 1998 – Andrew Golden, 11, and his gun buddy, Mitchell Johnson, 13, dressed in camouflage fatigues and then gunned down fifteen people at the Westside Middle School playground in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Five died, all of them female and four were children. The boys had a van stocked full of ammunition and guns, which they took from their kin. Golden went into the school and set off a fire alarm, then ran to where Johnson lay in position with the rifles. As people filed out for the fire drill, the boys began shooting.

Andrew Wurst (AP)

• April 24, 1998 Andrew J. Wurst, 14, liked to threaten other people and then laugh it off. However, no one was laughing when he took a pistol into the eighth-grade graduation dance in Edinboro, Pennsylvania, and killed a popular teacher. Then he opened fire into the crowd, wounding another teacher and two classmates before he ran out. The banquet hall owner went after him, disarmed him, and held him for police, but the boy acted as if the whole thing was a big joke.
• May 21, 1998 Kipland Kinkel, 15, had just been expelled from school in Springfield, Oregon, for carrying a gun to class. He returned with a semiautomatic rifle and went into the cafeteria, where he started shooting. He killed one student and wounded eight others, one of whom later died, and he also caused a stampede that resulted in more injuries. He was disarmed and taken to the police station, where he withdrew a hidden knife. He claimed he wanted to die. Police officers who went to his home discovered that he’d killed both of his parents and had booby-trapped the house with five homemade bombsone of which he’d placed underneath his mother’s corpse. His classmates had once dubbed him the student “most likely to start World War III.”  *End of Source Quote*

And now a group of teachers in Utah want to take advantage of their right to arm themselves at School to prevent atrocities such as was described above. Has anyone explained to them they’ll be shooting kids not “criminals?”

The woman in this video ignorantly says “Criminals” think of schools as a target- no sweetheart, Kids are killing kids not necessarily “Criminals.” The attacks on schools are coming from fellow classmates. All of the attackers listed in my article were under 18. The “Kids” are certainly not in their right frame of mind and are mentally insane not to mention demonically possessed to commit such killings but do the teachers have the guts to ready, aim, shoot-to-fire at a child? Psychologically that is what is going to happen to the teachers once they realize they’re under attack by a 12 or a 16 year old; perhaps one of their own students whom they know. Think long and hard on this one folks.

Who is going to train the teachers to kill kids? These are kids killing kids. There are psychological breaks some of these kids have and others like the Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson killers who may have had psychological conditioning in order to kill innocent children. Yes I’m suggesting that those were “trained” by someone. Those psychologically trained killers (or demon possessed kids) are going to come face to face with a Kindergarten or Sixth Grade Teacher with a gun? The military knows how to train people for this, they know how to remove the “safeguards” that our own subconscious says, “don’t shoot, don’t kill, that’s a child…” See my previous post there is a link with a time frame attached to it, watch that video.

Another Solution, Police State. Let the Sheriffs and the Federales watch your bambinos

Sheriff Joe Arpaio worked quickly to suck the limelight of his brave work locking up a transgender 16 year old girl who had no weapons or bombs but did have a wicked and sick mind to conjure up a murder plot in Mesa Arizona, part of Maricopa County which is Sheriff Joe’s area of enforcement.

http://www.azfamily.com/news/Sheriff-Arpaio-is-sending-posse-to-protect-schools-185012341.html

Let’s not forget why he’s really doing this, Publicity, he’s a bit of an attention whore.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio has Steven Segal and Lou Ferrigno on his Posse team.

http://www.azfamily.com/news/local/Hollywood-actors-join-Arpaios-immigration-posse-108754439.html

“Maricopa County, AZ’s notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced Thursday that he will deploy an armed “posse” to guard about 50 local grade schools, middle schools, and high schools, following the NRA’s controversial playbook for limiting gun violence.

“I have the authority to mobilize private citizens and fight crime in this county,” Arpaio said.

“We’re not talking about placing the posse in the schools right now but in the outlying — the perimeters of the school — to detect any criminal activity,” he added.

Arpaio has long used his 3,000 member volunteer posse — which includes actors Steven Seagal, Lou Ferrigno, and Peter Lupus — to supplement his legally questionable law enforcement efforts.

By eschewing common-sense gun control efforts in favor of arming Steven Seagal and posting him outside of an elementary school, Sheriff Joe is bringing the NRA’s philosophy that “the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” to its ridiculous logical conclusion.” End of Quote, Source: Here

What is the solution to the gun (evil people) problem?

Armed guards? Armed teachers? Disarm Americans? Lock up psychologically dysfunctional children and their parents? Police state? Is it a moral problem? Is it a social problem? Is it a Spiritual problem?

What do you think is the answer…

Arizona Govenor Brewer Supports Obama “Politricks”

But those things which proceed out of the mouth

come forth from the heart;

and they defile the man. (/woman)

Matt. 15:18

“I know that if President Obama is elected in November, which I hope that he is, that he will be able to come together with all of us and come up with a solution and I believe he will secure our borders and therefore we can resolve all those other issues, it’s a simple matter.” Governor Jan Brewer at RNC 2012

Ya gotta love Politics, it’s filled with double speak and double agents. I heard this news this morning as the local news (I’m in Arizona) ran the Governor’s comments yesterday at the Republican National Convention. I could not help but laugh. I knew the last time Obama came out to Arizona and that infamous shot of her ‘finger pointing’ at him was a big fat ruse, and her recent Freudian slip was proof. These politicians have a much seedier greater evil agenda to put forth; therefore, they work together as much as you think they are polar opposites. Chalk up my post to political angst and apathy, but I’ve got their number and it’s the mark of the beast, so count me out! Whenever you hear a politician speak the truth you’ll know it, because the retraction quickly follows. It’s akin to Rick Warren and his tweets on the Poor. Anyway, this was a good laugh for me this morning, back to the “news.”

She believes Obama will help her secure the borders…that’s funny.

“Pastor” Michael Salman Not Going to Jail for Preaching but for Failing to Obey the Law

Pictured left is a man named, Michael Hashem Salman. On Fox News and Glen Beck’s site and the rest of America he’s known as, Pastor Michael Salman. Salman has been in the news recently for apparently (according to “Pastor” Mike) for being “persecuted” by the City of Phoenix.

Persecution is the systematic mistreatment of an individual or group by another group. The most common forms are religious persecution, ethnic persecution, and political persecution, though there is naturally some overlap between these terms. The inflicting of suffering, harassment, isolation, imprisonment, fear, or pain are all factors that may establish persecution. Even so, not all suffering will necessarily establish persecution. The suffering experienced by the victim must be sufficiently severe. The threshold level of severity has been a source of much debate. (source Wikipedia definition)

A very popular video lately has been making its rounds on the Internet where Michael Salman and his wife Suzanne Salman lay out their case before the public forum. In that video Michael H. Salman is wearing a T-shirt from Persecution.com (otherwise known as Voice of the Martyrs) sold as “Illegal Shirt.”

When I first heard of this story over this weekend it was through a link someone sent me for Glenn Beck’s site. I skimmed through the article and clicked on the YouTube video but was only able to watch a few broken minutes on my phone, so later this weekend I watched the whole video and instantly had suspicions. I live in Arizona and I had not even heard of this guy’s story. I gathered so much information within a few hours yesterday that by the end of the day I was no longer frustrated so much with Michael Hashem Salman as I was with you the readers and audience of Mainstream Media for believing this fabricated story without doing some minor searches yourself. I’m sure every Pastor who’s politically minded and concerned for our rights as Christians lifted up this “poor, persecuted, brother” in prayer and warned the congregation that being a Christian is becoming a crime in America, when in fact it is not–not yet.

I will break this story down as succinctly as possible and provide you with all the links to all the research I did on this story so you can COPY and PASTE and send in a Chain e-mail letter to all your friends before Salman is considered a “Martyr” for the faith, when in my opinion he is not.

Michael Hashem Salman- Criminal History and Civil History charges on Maricopa Superior Court website:

 http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CriminalCourtCases/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CR1992-006544

This shows Michael Hashem Salman charged with Aggravated Assault in 1992 and the court information that proceeded. He was found guilty by jury in 1992/1993 and it appears he appealed to get his rights restored to carry a gun but was denied in 2011. This you may say could have happened prior to his becoming a “Christian.” Yes, I agree, this incident could be baggage from his old lifestyle, however one look over to the Civil Cases and you will see that his problems continued.

The names on the above image of the legal document show up in one of Salman’s Civil case dockets. Something went wrong with this “business.” Michael Salman has other business too, he’s not just a “Pastor.” Currently Micahel H.

One Man with many names wouldn’t be duplicitous without multiple sites…

In a case of irony or pure and sheer ignorance, Michael H. Salman decided to run for City Councilman of Phoenix in 2011. This may or may not have been after he approached the Mayor and other government officials that he had been spoken to by the Lord to declare that Christians are tired of “their rights” being infringed upon. (See bottom of post for Screen Shot of Salman Manhattan Declaration confronting Phoenix Officials). Maybe Salman’s bid for office was perpetrated for hype to his impending imprisonment for being a Christian (and a Conservative), but why would the Christian right use a guy like this to set up a volley for fabricated Christian Persecution in the US, such nonsense has not been done before has it?

Money Sites. Ghost Sites. They are profitable as Chuck Missler can attest to. Michael H. Salman, a man with various names, various corporations/businesses, also has various sites asking for donations. Most certainly the money is going to his legal costs, because his two burger Restaurants “Mighty Mikes” and his 501(c) Church, that’s not really a Home Church, even though his Home is listed as the business address of Harvest Fellowship Church on legal docs…here are Three Money Site$

(The name of the Church on both documents are changed slightly, maybe it was done again since 2009. I’m still trying to find a legal doc after 2009, if you find it put in comments. Also, if you open the link above the term of the “Corporate Life” is listed as “Perpetual.” Listed Michael Salman “President” Toby Ramsey “Vice-President” and Suzanne Salman “Treasurer” shows last updated as 7/21/2011 )

**Update** 7/12/12 In the continuing saga and to remain as accurate as I can in reporting my findings, and cross checking what people have left in the comments this is what I have so far on this issue of his Incorporation called “Harvest Christian Fellowship.” On the most recent Document I could find on Arizona Corporation Commission was this:

http://images.azcc.gov/scripts/cgi/dwispart2.pl It’s dated 6.12.11 There is a Business address given for “Harvest Christian Fellowship” as 3003 West Northern Ave. Phoenix AZ 85051. I googled that and the picture to the left will show what is there and what Business is listed for this address. I went further and did, “Search nearby” and typed in the church’s name and it did not show the church; it did rather list other churches in a radius that was nothing close to Harvest Christian Fellowship.

**Update** 7/14/2012 A reader left a comment that was not reviewed until today because it was in my ‘spam’ box, however this piece of information is Crucial to the whole case, it’s the actual Court Minutes in PDF form and lays out the FACT that Michael Salman had registered his residential address as his Church business and an exempt status for his property under that filing. Please Read this!

N4TM commentary below (an opinion by me the author of the blog and all posts on this blog)

Is the story about Michael Hashem Salman true? The story being propagated on Mainstream Media and primarily Right Wing Conservative media is that Salman is the “victim” of civil rights. He is being propped up as an innocent man who has a “small” gathering of Christians in his home. I submit that he purchased his home with the intent to have “church” services on the premises because he had run out of places to have his church. According to his “official” website, he has been (burned through) various “Church” sites. If you use ‘Wayback’ you will see how many times the location changes in the course of history. Oddly enough from 2007 until 2011 there are no caches, when you see the site again in 2011 there is no address listed for a meeting place for his “Church” which he clearly listed as his home address on the official documents above. So I ask you again, is Michael Hashem Salman truly being convicted for being a “Christian” or a “Pastor” or holding innocent “bible studies” on his property, or has he truly violated 67 standard codes that he had to meet in order to continue to hold “church” on his property. The City of Phoenix never stated, as far as I could see in my investigation, that he could not hold bible study at his home. His civil liberty and freedom to practice his religion was never threatened. He was reprimanded that should he call it a Church and again it is listed in formal documents as such, he needs to comply with code before continuing his services. Do you think a man with two businesses and a home purchased for $700k (before adding on the additional building on his property) could not have invested in a store front where he would be properly zoned? Do you think a business owner of two restaurants could not figure out exactly how to comply with code enforcement? Do you think registering his “Church” as a 501(c) does not carry with it  certain requirements from the Government on how and what that “non-profit” can manage themselves? This appears to be a clear case of FABRICATION. The Salman property sits on 1.4 acres, not 4.6. There is a huge difference in that size and yes, a weekly meeting which brings 10-15 cars on one property has to impact his neighbors. If this were a case of true Christian persecution and he were truly going to jail for preaching the WHOLE word of God than I would stand beside the man and plead his case, however this is not the reality that I have found and I pray that my dear conscientious brethren out there would do us all a favor and VET these people and such fabricated cases before taking to Facebook/Twitter/Foursquare and mass emails.

Indefinite Detention Bill

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2011/12/2011121643213177164.html

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 is a controversial bill that has been passed by both houses of Congress separately, and a final version approved by the Senate on 15 December 2011. Though the White House and Senate sponsors maintain that the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF) already grants presidential authority for indefinite detention, the Act legislatively codifies the President’s authority to indefinitely detain terrorism suspects, including American citizens, without trial as defined in Title X, Subtitle D, SEC 1031(a-e) of the bill Because those who may be held indefinitely include U.S. citizens arrested on American soil, and because that detention may be by the military, the Act has received critical attention by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and media sources. Source:Wikipedia

The Senate approved the $662 billion defence bill in an 86-13 vote on Thursday, December 15th after passing the House of Representatives on December 14th in a 283-146 vote.

Co-Author of the bill, Arizona Senator John McCain,  told Rand Paul during a hearing on the bill that American citizens could be declared an enemy combatant, sent to Guantanamo Bay and detained indefinitely, “no matter who they are.”

“I strongly believe the detainee provisions in the bill are constitutional and in no way infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans.  Unfortunately, rarely in my time have I seen legislation so consistently misunderstood and misrepresented as these detainee provisions.  The hyperbole used by both the Left and the Right regarding this language is false and misleading.  Let me be clear, the language in this bill will not affect any Americans engaging in the pursuits of their Constitutional rights.  The language does recognize that those people who seek to wage war against the United States will be stopped and we will use all ethical, moral, and legal methods to do so.

“I am very pleased that the Administration has finally recognized that the language we have adopted merits the President’s signature and will soon be signed into law.  While we have made some technical changes to the detainee provisions, they remain substantially the same as passed by the Senate Armed Services Committee.” Source: John McCain’s website

FauxNews:What Didn’t happen in 2010

Faux: Fake, not real, artificial or imitation.

News: something not previously known to wide audience that is disseminated to the masses via Satellite TV, Cable, Social Media, Radio, Internet.

I always like the end of the year reflectional type of shows. Shows that highlight all the happenings of the year gone by. It’s so quaint how one can summarize great events that impact the course of human life in terms of 10 second sound bites, flash media, and then just as quick as the show is over, move on to the next year’s ‘prophesies’ as though we had any foreknowledge of what just happened to justify predictions of the forthcoming year.

In lieu of the real news I will first address the ‘FauxNews;’ that which was contrived and set out before us like a table fully decorated in fine China, soft linens, and exquisite silverware.

Health Care Reform- Passing Socialist Legislature. Disregarding the American people’s objections the Congress passed this Unconstitutional piece of TP without so much as one burp of anger following the vote. The American people were neutered in one night and told to accept Tyranny – and they did.

Cordoba House- Ground Zero Mosque. First Americans were angry about this. They protested and held vigils. Then the United States State Department sent the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to the Gulf to solicit money for the construction. Upon finding out that our own government was sponsoring this building, the protests continued to be directed in the wrong direction (at the Imam) as opposed to the real culprit, our own Government. Once again, the dehumanized American public turned a blind eye to truth and chose to keep the ‘enemy’ they have been brainwashed into hating- Islam. **Cults have existed since man’s fall from grace. What we should be fighting is the true enemy, Satan; and we do this by Preaching the FULL complete unadulterated Gospel. Not picketing a mosque.

Sb1070- Arizona’s State Version of a Federal Law that is not enforced. Now neither is! This was deliberate action by our own politicians to pit ‘Americans’ against Immigrants and vice versa. First of all it was a hoax. It generated a lot of publicity, Arizona didn’t loose. The Immigrants didn’t loose. In the end the controversy forced us take a side only to later realize the Governor of AZ didn’t care if it passed or not, nor did most people in Arizona.

Price of Gold- The price of Gold has been artificially pumped up to levels not seen since the great depression.  The IMF will find a way to switch it’s gold holdings into a way to bailout countries who are indebted to them, while switching real wealth into a SDR. It’s a real conundrum but just accept that Global Elites will not allow you, Johnny Rocket or you Susie Desperate Homemaker, to have ANY wealth. Kiss those bullion’s goodbye!

“Burn a Koran,” says ‘Pastor’ Terry Jones – Koran burning that never was. This crackpot decided to advertise that he was going to burn Korans on 9-11. He never intended to, but he got plenty of publicity for acting like he would. Hate groups came out of the woodwork, MSM claimed it would start a new surge of terror attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the end a few guys with a Koran and a BBQ pit burned a few Korans and posted to You tube. No one cared. It disappeared from the media as quickly as it came.

Restoring Honor Rally (Glenn Beck’s 2010 Interfaith Social Justice Dogma come home to roost inside every Greedy Evangelical Mega Pastor’s Dream). I have a dream too, however my dream does not include Satanists and Wiccans joining hands with me to keep our freedom. Glenn a professing Mormon called on his evangelical friends, Catholic, Jewish, Gay Clergy you name it, as long as it looked religious it was welcome to join hands with him on stage for a cry fest that lead to a revival without any repentance. Not one denounced their false god, idolatry, spiritual fornication, or social justice-prosperity gospel-kingdom now theology-heresy. The rally that was meant to ‘take back America’ turned out to be more ‘man’ worship and savior seeking among mortals then really seeking the Jesus Christ of the Bible. Glenn did manage to raise the flag above apostate churches. Thank you for that Beck, you made it much easier to identify some wolves.

G20, G8, Davos, et. al- I was waiting for a new currency. Just a bunch of Global Elites gallivanting all over the globe throughout the year with nothing to prove accept a few failed governments across the planet.

Mid-Term Elections- What a huge waste of time.

Nudy Scanners- TSA Groping- Opt out Day- The threat that people would have to show their jubblies to the whole TSA (world) didn’t set people off. People were stupid enough to just go through the nudy scanner. It wasn’t until people caught wind that if you chose ‘to not to’ that you would be molested by TSA (government) Agents. This set a few people off. Those who were quick to dawn their Americana Costumes and scribble Pro-America slogans onto cardboard at Beck’s rally, were dually ready to throw down with DHS/TSA on Turkey Day. “Opt Out!” was the rally cry. Force TSA to grope you and slow down travel. No one did it, and no one cared. America went back to sheeple status…

Cop16 Cancun- By now the only ones who pay attention to the Meeting of the Parties (of the Kyoto Protocol) are college students who have recently come down with Glaucoma (medical marijuana Rx’s) and those of us who think the New World Order uses these meetings to decide the fate of the peons. In the end, both groups who follow are left clueless. Either the plans are not made at all or they are and we’re too peon to know anyway.

Wikileaks- My Favorite story. It was dynamic and pointless. It took the attention off the Gulf Coast of the US, the floods of Tennessee, the Volcano Eruptions all over the world this year, the QE 2, the Jobless numbers, the tax hike and every piece of real news that mattered that we were too lazy or too tired to pay attention to this year! Way to go. This proves sex still sells and that in the end the American people will continue to submit to the slave state and not think twice. Bravo…whoever came up with this fauxnews!

I see the folks at JibJab captured the sentiment of this post!
