baptistpress (@baptistpress) tweeted at 5:10 AM on Sat, Apr 27, 2013: Obama was first sitting president to address Planned Parenthood, which performed 333,964 abortions in 2010-11 http://t.co/YJpIsFGWNiThis is a Rt (retweet). No link is ever an endorsement.
WASHINGTON (BP) — President Obama addressed the nation’s largest abortion provider Friday (April 26), criticizing pro-life laws on the state level and saying that those who wish to restrict or ban abortion are trying to turn back “progress.” Obama never mentioned the word “abortion” during his speech at the Planned Parenthood gala, preferring words such as “choice.” Planned Parenthood performed a record 333,964 abortions during 2010-11, the most recent year for which statistics are available. He became the first sitting president to address Planned Parenthood.
“After decades of progress there’s still those who want to turn back the clock to policies more suited to the 1950s than the 21st century,” Obama said. “And they’re involved in an orchestrated and historic effort to roll back basic rights when it comes to women’s health. Forty-two states have introduced laws that would ban or severely limit access to a woman’s right to choose.”
He mentioned, by name, two states: North Dakota and Mississippi.
“In North Dakota, they just passed a law that outlaws your right to choose, starting as early as six weeks,” he told the crowd.
The law in question would prohibit abortion based on when the unborn child has a heartbeat, which could be as soon as six weeks into gestation. It is expected to be challenged in court.
In Mississippi, Obama said, “a ballot initiative was put forward that could not only have outlawed your right to choose but could have had all sorts of other far-reaching consequences.”
He was referring to a personhood initiative, defeated at the Mississippi ballot in 2011, that would have defined the term “person” to include “every human being from the moment of fertilization.” It lost, partially because pro-lifers in the state were divided over it and partially because opponents made the campaign about everything but abortion.
“When you read about these laws,” Obama said, “you want to check the calendar. You want to make sure you’re still living in 2013. Forty years after the Supreme Court affirmed a woman’s constitutional right to privacy, including the right to choose, we shouldn’t have to remind people that when it comes to a woman’s health, no politician should get to decide what’s best for you.”
He then added, “The only person who should get to make decisions about your health is you. That’s why we fought so hard to make healthcare reform a reality.”
Planned Parenthood, he said in affirming the organization’s mission, “is not going anywhere.”
“It’s not going anywhere today, it’s not going anywhere tomorrow,” Obama said. -Source Baptist press see full article linked to above.
Most recent news on trial for “Dr.” Kermit Gosnell who is accused of murdering babies that were born alive.
“Gosnell is charged in the 2009 overdose death of a woman patient, and in the deaths of seven babies allegedly born alive. Lewis says she sometimes cut the clinic’s usual dose of anesthesia and painkillers after seeing patients she feared would not awake from sedation. She stopped assisting with the abortions by 2008, but still gave out medications as a front-desk clerk. The 31-year-old Lewis has pleaded guilty to related federal drug charges, and awaits sentencing. Gosnell’s lawyer says there were no live births at the clinic, and argues that the 41-year-old patient died of unforeseen complications.” Read more: NBC10 Philadelphia
Obama is anti-life, anti-God, and anti-American. He is a perversion and ruled by a demonic spirit. He rules the US government in like manner. Friends, you’re being manipulated and deceived. Think about it. ~N4TM
The Associated Press (@AP) tweeted at 3:03 AM on Fri, Apr 19, 2013: Police urge people in several Boston and suburban neighborhoods to stay inside amid lock down: http://t.co/vpx3jed5BF -SS N4TM: The cities of Watertown Massachusetts and Cambridge are on lock down. Fox News is screaming that these boys are Muslim. Reports from friends who heard earlier reports say now MSM saying the bombs at Boston marathon were Al Qaeda grade. Despite the last four days of every expert saying these bombs as crude and amateur. I’m watching Fox news live coverage of home in Watertown surrounded by police and keeping tabs on Twitter. More later…
*Fluid Update*
I’m just checking back in to my blog after being on Twitter and simultaneously watching breaking news on Fox News. I wanted to come back here to caution you that not everything you see and hear, even though broadcasted live, is to be believed. The story is still developing and often times it takes some time to draw distinct lines and parallels. I remain unconvinced that the Boston Marathon Bombing was international Islamic terror. The suspects have been living in the US for near ten years, they are both young, too young to have taken up a political and religious stance for a country they hardly know (Chechnya). By all intensive purposes they grew up here. Perhaps the one that came more recently has some anger who knows, but even still, coming from Chechnya they would be more inclined to side with America than Russia. If these two kids were mentored by another more mature person who has a grudge or a political motive it would make more sense. I do not back track any of my thoughts from a few posts ago that this action was clearly Domestic Terrorism and for Political gains. Keep in mind CISPA passed yesterday, Boston police/FBI is exercising military controls over those in Watertown limiting cell phone use, and keeping them locked indoors. There was a no fly zone over this area, transit halted as well. I will keep aware of this story and gather information and convey that to you as I am able.
I just watched the Uncle Ruslan Tsarni yelling at his nephew and saying they are not from Chechnya. This is down right comical if it was down right frustrating. The uncle is clean shaving now and much more fluent in speaking than when he was first approached earlier this morning. My head is shaking. Another FYI, the Government is data mining all tweets and social media right now. So, I’m limiting my tweets and comments on twitter for that reason. They are looking for those who are not going with the flow of the mass distributed script.
Here is the earlier video of Ruslan, I will post the one of him with clean shaven appearance later. ***Update*** ok, now I’m finding out these are two different Uncles, one is Ruslan Tsarni below, the one with the beard is Alvi Tsarni. That explains the jump in appearance and language–I guess. Circus show.
Ok, here is a photo of the same Uncle after a clean shave and maybe some makeup. He sounds more alert or his English has had a significant increase in fluidity, maybe he just had some strong coffee who knows.
The Boston Bombers father was also contacted and gave this statement:
“The father of the suspects, reached in Makhachkala, Russia, by The Associated Press, has also called on his son to surrender peacefully, but reportedly warned the United States that “all hell will break loose” if he’ll killed.
“My son is a true angel,” Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press. “Dzhokhar is a second-year medical student in the U.S. He is such an intelligent boy. We expected him to come on holidays here.”
Anzor Tsarnaev, who characterized his younger son as an intelligent and accomplished young man, told ABC News that he spoke to his sons by phone earlier this week. He said his sons reassured him, saying, “Everything is good, Daddy. Everything is very good.”
“Give up. Give up. You have a bright future ahead of you,” Anzor Tsarneav said, according to ABC News. “Come home to Russia.”
He continued: “If they killed him, then all hell would break loose.” Source Fox News article
I’m sure CIA director and Obama are discussing the International implications of this and trying to figure out how to handle this. Since I don’t trust Potus I can’t imagine how he would or could use this to his advantage. I just know that My God is bigger than his. If Obama is staging a war, God help us.
*Update Bombers Sister speaks out,”Alina Tsarnaeva, the sister of Boston Marathon Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev has spoken to media about her disbelief that her brothers had carried out the crime.
The woman spoke from her West New York, New Jersey apartment, behind a man who is her husband.
“They were great people. I never would have expected it,” said Alina, according to nj.com. “They are smart – I don’t know what’s gotten into them.” Source:Enstars
“The Blaze” is reporting this is 19 year old, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s , Twitter acct. https://twitter.com/J_tsar
It was confirmed by a friend of his from his high school. If this is his twitter account he sounds like the average lugg nut teenage boy on the street. Not a mastermind bomber, not a “Truther,” just a dumb kid. One tweet that 9-11 was an “inside job” does not qualify him as a “Truther.” He has more tweets and RT’s by Will Ferral the comedian does this make Dzhokar an SNL comedian too? No, people have checked their brains at the door. Another reason why not to follow Glenn Beck/The Blaze!

Today’s events took place at 2:57 EST near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. A bomb went off followed immediately by a second explosion. This area was near the finish line around the 4 hour mark of the run where the majority of runners come in to the finish line. I began following the story on Twitter and was tweeting as quickly as things were becoming available. Initial reports were that a third explosion at JFK Library was related to the bombings at the Boston Marathon and those reports have later been downsized to state that it was a fire now being claims as “unrelated” to the bombings. Air traffic was grounded in and around the Boston area of the marathon and supposedly cell phone service was being blocked to prohibit any further remote detonations by cell phone. Many other states and counties were taken to a heightened state of alert over the attacks, like, Washington DC, San Francisco area, Los Angeles County, and New York, to name a few. My twitter account is set to private so you would have to request a follow from me directly to see my tweets but certainly you can find out breaking news on twitter by various “Legitimate” news sources. One News agency that seemed to get information faster than Fox News and CNN was- The Boston Globe of the UK and Breaking News on Twitter. I happen to think I follow excellent news sources. For live breaking news Cable News seems too slow nowadays.
Let me say as a Runner this tragedy is heartbreaking. To think someone would target innocent runners who are just out trying to fulfill a dream of “Running Boston” is beside me. I don’t understand who would do this or why target innocent civilians. This was not a political event or arena. This running event is attended by people of all walks of life, all nationalities, all creeds, and gives people something to strive for in doing their best when it comes to their physicality. It’s a shame this had to happen. So many people who simply love the sport of running are having that taken from them. My heart goes out to those suffering, those family members who are perplexed and in pain right now. My prayers are with those who were there today.
Reports are that 2 have died, although I did see one report by New York Post that stated 12 had died, and over 100 are injured. By “injured” this means many have lost limbs, and it’s gruesome. There are videos on YouTube already and countless loops being played on cable news shows showing the horrific event.
Authorities in Boston have initiated “Social Distancing” by telling the public to not go outdoors, to not congregate in groups, and to stay in their homes. Other sports events and public events are being cancelled in response to this.
At the time of this post there is one person of interest and this person is being carefully guarded, although he is denying any involvement. Because this is a fluid event with ongoing updates I may come and edit or update this post to avoid having multiple posts on the same topic. Today evil arose again to strike at the core of our humanity. Terrorism is going to continue unfortunately, and our current administration is attempting to take our civil liberties away from us including our ability to protect ourselves from danger; so, what are we left to do when all matter of human power and will fail us? We submit to our Lord God who made us. We beseech Him in all His might and awesome authority that are we are at His mercy. May God help those who were there today in Boston and may He help all of us to remember Him.
N4TM has learned that this year’s Marathon at Boston <<was>> purposefully made a Political Event! I did not know this until moments ago that the entire event was cloaked in “Newtown” in memoriam. This new information is highly disturbing and offensive to me. Whereas I thought this was simply a random act now appears to be more covert and truly sinister. Here’s the information on the Newtown overtones for Boston Marathon 2013:
“Not only was a team from the town running to raise money for a scholarship fund, the 26th mile was dedicated to the first-graders and school workers gunned down by Adam Lanza on Dec. 14.
Marathon organizers created a custom marker for the 26th mile with the Sandy Hook Elementary school colors and 26 stars circling the town emblem. A 26-second moment of silence was held at the start of the race.” Source: NBC
I hate to draw attention to the fact that this sounds incredibly suspicious and desperately wicked, or to have to be the one to suggest that this could be a “False Flag.” A “False Flag” for those who are unfamiliar with the term is something that is done maliciously by groups and/or organizations (Government and Private) that seeks to destroy/kill/maim for the sole purpose of instigating the ‘change’ they seek to be done. Some believe that events like 9-11 and Oklahoma City Bombing (anniversary 4.19.1995) were “false flag” events that sought to take away our civil liberties. I don’t ring those same bells, although I don’t doubt that there are people capable of doing such a thing. I just didn’t want to have to be the one to report that in this case especially while the blood on the streets in Boston remain wet. I just can’t believe that some idiot would make this whole Marathon about “Newtown.” Apparently those in the Newtown groups that were running are “Ok.” Yes they unharmed but many are not and isn’t that the point of this attack? Is the point of the attack to say, “You could be Newtown, this could be you.” That is just sheer sick. So some sick and twisted anti-gun person decides to set up bombs on the 26th mile, right where it’s dedicated to Newtown, and we’re meant to think this is a random act? Or worse, an attack by a “Right-winged” nut job? No, a right winged nut job wouldn’t do this, but someone trying to exploit Newtown and squeeze the American people like a turnip to surrender their constitutional rights would do something like this. I’m not going to name names but one comes to mind immediately. I pray I’m wrong. I truly do.

**Update* 4/24/2013*for the full image of the one above that N4TM altered as of 4-22-13 at 11:00 pm you can click on this link: https://twitter.com/passantino/status/323905912081367040 492 people retweeted it, the twitter status shows where Passantino got it from, which was John Tulmacki of the Boston Globe. Tulmacki was at the Boston Marathon’s finish line when the explosions happened and uploaded his pictures and video directly to the Boston Globe. On the day of the bombing I was viewing Fox News which is an affliate of Boston Globe UK who was supplying the images and video of the explosions. Remember, Fox News/Boston Globe are owned by parent company NewsCorp, a Ruppert Murdoch enterprise. Some of you may know that Ruppert Murdoch is a Jesuit and that another co-owner of his company NewsCorp is a Saudi Prince. Also, don’t forget, Mr. Glenn Beck worked for Fox News and has visited the Vatican and has also hosted Jesuit Rt.General William Gerry Boykin several times on his new show GBTV.
FOX2News (CNN) – The U.S. military is sending a land-based missile defense system to Guam to defend against possible North Korean ballistic missile launches, according to a news release from the Department of Defense.
The statement said the missiles, a truck-mounted launcher, and radar and target acquisition systems will be deployed in the “coming weeks.”
The system, called the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System, fires missiles at enemy targets in the “terminal phase” as they approach defended territory. Guam is about 2,000 miles from North Korea.”
What’s so Important about Guam?
“The strategic significance of Guam is due to the enduring importance of its location and its topography to major maritime nations in the Pacific Ocean. Guam, some thirty miles long and ten miles wide, is the largest of the Mariana Islands, an archipelago of high volcanic islands in Micronesia, a huge expanse of small islands scattered across the western Pacific.
On the axis that crosses 5,000 miles of the Pacific between Hawaii and Asia, Guam is the only island with both a protected harbor and sufficient land for major airports. Guam is also the largest landfall for communications, shipping, and military installations on the nearly 3,000-mile north-axis from Japan to Papua New Guinea and Australia. This geography means that whoever controls Guam has access by air and sea to China to the west, to Hawaii and North America to the east, to Southeast Asia from the north and to Japan from the south. These geopolitical factors make Guam a valuable strategic nexus similar to other small island bastions in military history and maritime trade such as Hawaii, Gibralter, Malta and Singapore.” SOURCE: http://guampedia.com/guams-strategic-value/
So we are sending enforcements to Guam because of the North Korea threat, or someone else?
Russian strategic bombers ‘spotted’ near Guam amid US defense cuts threats
“Two Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers were intercepted near the key US Pacific military base in Guam, the Washington Free Beacon website claimed. The news comes ahead of the possible sequestration of the US military budget.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, several ‘Russian Bears’ – the NATO classification of the Tu-95 – provocatively approached the US stronghold on February 12, the same day that President Barack Obama was preparing to deliver his State of the Union address.”
Guam is vital to defending the US, NK knows this, Russia knows this. Perhaps we the American people are the last ones to know this.
The RT article went on to say that all the realignment promises to defend Guam could halt due to sequestration (this was prior to 3/13), but we all know that nothing is really being “sequestered” at all. I looked into this “Guam Realignment” issue and found that as far back as July 2011 there has been in place a plan by the DOD to move close to 9,000 marines and their families to Guam and other Micronesia islands, and the cost is outrageous considering the “sequestration” we’re in.
Plans to ready Guam to accommodate 8,600 Marines and 9,000 dependents from Okinawa will cost DOD, Japan and Guam at least $23.9 billion over the next decade, according to estimates released last week by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The estimate includes $7.5 billion in DOD military construction funding. The department’s cost could rise further, though, since it has not developed cost estimates for an air and missile defense system needed to protect the island, GAO stated. Guam’s government estimates it needs $3.2 billion to improve civilian infrastructure such as roads, power, water, sewer and hospitals.
Japan will contribute to the cost of the buildup, but the United States may be forced to pay much of the realignment’s cost, reported Stars and Stripes. Japan has agreed to pay $2.9 billion for construction on Guam and to finance $3.3 billion for installation support structure for utilities and military family housing.
Meanwhile, the chorus of lawmakers calling for the Pentagon to rethink its plans for the Pacific theater continues to grow. The Senate Appropriations Committee last week requested DOD submit detailed plans, along with a justification, for the shift before it allocates funding for military construction needed to support the realignment.”
Final Thoughts/ N4TM Commentary:
The “Realignment” of Guam was factored into the 2012 FY budget and was signed into law by Obama (AKA, NDAA). The funds won’t be drying up to for this process of moving Marines to Guam from Okinawa; it may take a while to happen, but it’s going to happen. And as I pointed out above Guam is highly strategic to the US and it appears it’s also a place of vulnerability when we have reports of Russian bears flying overhead. Clearly Russia’s relationship with the US is strained. John Kerry was given the cold shoulder by Russia once Kerry became the official Secretary of State under Obama earlier this year. For those who don’t know Iraq and Afghanistan, along with Syria’s civil wars, have more to do with our fight against Russia and thirst for oil than for those respective countries need for “Democracy.” I don’t want to start having to give history lessons but you all have access to Google so look stuff up for yourselves. Stop tuning into FOX, CNN, Drudge, and “The Blaze,” for your “truth” serum doses. They won’t tell you what you can figure out on your own with a few strokes of the key. Taking all things into consideration I don’t believe Kim Jung-Un has any real power or wherewithal to start a Nuclear war with South Korea or the US. He’s definitely not 100% in the US pocket ($$) and that’s what makes him a threat and not completely controllable. I think he’s propped by China and ‘Mother’ Russia and those countries ironically support Iran, and former Hussein’s Iraq. So these small skirmishes are signs of bigger things to come. I believe the US has the most power in this current situation and either wants a war with (Russia/China) North Korea (Syria & Iran) or doesn’t. It looks like the US is the instigator to me not so much like said contries are the ones instigating a war with us. The way the US Government is acting by removing our Civil Rights (2nd & 4th Amendment) it appears the US Government is also at war with its own citizens. Things are lining up for something truly messy. Then again we are a “Global -New World-Order” and anything is possible. Just when it looks like War is about to break out there can be some sort of resolution for the world leaders to compromise on and hence deescalate and delay matters. It remains to be seen if this situation will be for real or if it is just more smoke and mirrors. When it comes to whether or not North Korea will strike the US and/or our allies, I’m leaning towards the, “I don’t think so,” side of things.
“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.
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 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
Arizona Public Engagement Task Force: “This group has convened for the purpose of communicating key education policy issues to the public. The current focus is on implementing communications and outreach strategies to support the successful implementation of Arizona’s Common Core Standards throughout the state. Through their work, the Task Force will continue to contribute to this web site. Specifically, the Task Force has created Arizona’s Common Core Standards Communications Tool Kit to help superintendents, principals, teachers and other community leaders communicate to parents, community partners and the public about the standards.” http://www.azed.gov/azcommoncore/azpublicengagementtf/
This is where the Money is ^ look at their site and all the Logos of those in support of AZ Common Core Standards and think how they will benefit $$ from the transition.
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.
Sunday evening Twitter was a buzz with tweets that Bashar al-Assad was shot dead by his bodyguard. The rumor quickly dissipated once Russia Today tweeted that this was an absurd lie. Since no legitimate news agency was breaking with this news it was evident very quickly that it was in fact a false flag. The initial news of Assad’s “rumored” death caused me to get online and revisit the topic of Syria. I gathered some updated news on Syria and Bashar al-Assad and here’s what I found:
Assad ‘Living on Warship’
“Unconfirmed report in Saudi newspaper says Syrian strongman travels to Syria by helicopter to attend meetings.
Syrian President Bashar Assad and his family have been living on a warship, with security provided by Russia, intelligence sources told Saudi newspaper Al Watan.
The report has not been confirmed by other news sources.
According to the report, the family and Assad’s aides live on the ship, which is floating in the Mediterranean Sea, and Assad travels to Syria by helicopter to attend official meetings and receptions.
When he flies to Syria, he lands at secret locations and is transported to the presidential palace under heavy guard, the sources said.
Assad’s presence on the warship suggests he has been granted political asylum by Russia but there has been no official comment from Moscow, Al Watan added.”
But more interesting than Assad being alive and living on a warship is this headline…
CIA helping Syrian rebels in fight against Bashar al-Assad’s troops, report says
The CIA is helping Syrian opposition fighters by feeding information to select rebels to try to make them more effective against government troops, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. Source: GlobalPost.com
Here’s an Excerpt:
“The CIA is helping Syrian opposition fighters by feeding information to select rebels to try to make them more effective against government troops, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
Citing unnamed current and former US officials, the newspaper wrote that the new CIA effort reflected a change in the administration’s approach to the Syrian conflict.
In their effort to help secular fighters, the CIA had sent officers to Turkey to vet any rebels slated to receive arms shipments from Gulf allies, the WSJ said.
At the same time, administration officials cited concerns about some weapons going to Islamists, the paper noted, adding that Western nations favor fighters aligned with the Free Syrian Army, which supports the Syrian Opposition Coalition political group.
The White House had also directed the CIA to help the Iraqis counter the flow of Al Qaeda-linked fighters across the border with Syria, the Journal wrote.”
The Assad’s are hardly reclusive, here’s another recent headline on Bashar al-Assad’s wife (Britain Born Britain educated):
Bashar Al Assad’s wife, children make rare appearance in Damascus (March 18,2013)
“Damascus: Syrian President Bashar Al Assad’s wife and his children have made a rare public appearance at a charity fund-raiser in Damascus for mothers of soldiers killed in the two-year conflict, his office said on Facebook Sunday.” Source: Gulf News
I think this headline and topic is much more interesting than a twitter rumor about Assad’s attempted murder story:
CIA Is Feeding Intel To The Friendlier Syrian Rebels To Counter The Jihadists
(March 23, 3013)
here’s an Excerpt:
“The CIA is doing more to bolster non-radical Syrian rebels to counter the increasing dominance of jihadist groups, Adam Entous, Siobhan Gorman, and Nour Malas The Wall Street Journal report.
The Agency is now feeding intelligence to secular-leaning rebels, presumably members of the West-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA), to use against government forces.
The intelligence comes from satellites and other surveillance systems that collect intelligence on Syrian troop and aircraft movements, powerful radars in Turkey used to track Syrian ballistic missiles and pinpoint launch sites, and the extensive spy networks Israel and Jordan have inside Syria, U.S. and European officials told WSJ.
Officials told WSJ that the move is part of an effort to “influence which groups dominate in post-Assad Syria,” which will be difficult given that Islamic militias such as Jabhat al Nusra have long been the opposition’s best and most organized fighters.
Nusra — a group of about 10,000 fighters led by veterans of al-Qaedain Iraq (AQI) — “resembles an army more than a quaint little terrorist group,” Seth Jones, an al Qaeda specialist at the Rand Corp. think tank, told WSJ. “As this war drags on against Assad and as long as they are able to build up their capabilities, it’s going to make it all the more harder to target them once the regime falls.”
This week the group helped capture a major air defense base in a strategic region of southern Syria near Jordan and territories in the Golan Heights near Israel. Meanwhile its members claimed large-scale raids in Syria’s Hama and Idlib governorates.
Nusra and its allies already control much of northern Syria. Earlier this week Liz Sly of the Washington Post detailed how Nusra runs more than half of Aleppo, Syria’s second largest city and commercial hub, where they turned a hospital into their headquarters and instituted Islamic law in rebel-held areas.” Source: BusinessInsider.com
With friends like these who needs enemies? Aaa Assad? Did the US CONgress vote to go to war with Syria? Did I miss the televised vote by our US officials to officially declare WAR against Syria? If the CIA, a United States Intelligence Service that operates under the United States Government is aiding and abetting Al Qaeda rebels to oust Bashar al-Assad shouldn’t we the people at least know about it? Did the President not just declare a “Sequester?” I’m sure providing arms and intel to Syrian “rebels” costs some money, right? Maybe they are being helped with personal financing or lobbyist funding via Barack Obama, still I think we should know that too!
“A senior Israeli official said Wednesday that it is “apparently clear” that chemical weapons were recently used in Syria, and that the alleged attack will be a main topic of conversation with visiting President Barack Obama.
The statement by Yuval Steinitz, the newly appointed minister of intelligence and strategic affairs, conflicts with U.S. assessments that there is no evidence behind accusations traded the day before between Syrian rebels and the Bashar Assad regime of a chemical weapons attack in a village in the north of the country.
Steinitz, who was speaking to Army Radio, did not say how he came to the conclusion that the weapons were used. He would not comment on whether it was Assad forces or the rebels that used them, saying it was not important.
A senior defense official told the Associated Press that he concurred chemical weapons had been used, basing that on intelligence reports. He would not elaborate. He spoke anonymously because he is not allowed to speak to the media.” **Another excerpt from same article:
“The Syrian state-run SANA news agency said “a missile containing a chemical substance” was fired at the village of Khan al-Assal in Aleppo province by “terrorists” — the term it uses for rebels. Syria’s Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mekdad said 31 people were killed.
SANA added that more than 100 others were wounded, some of them critically, and it published pictures showing casualties, including children, on stretchers in what appears to be a hospital ward. None showed signs of physical injuries. The rebels quickly denied using chemical weapons and accused regime forces of doing so.” (emphasis mine)
Conflicting Reports from Israeli Government Officials..
“It is clear for us here in Israel” that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, and an international response should be on the table, Livni told CNN in an exclusive interview from her home in Tel Aviv. Livni wouldn’t say whether there is evidence the Syrian government has directed the use of any chemical weapons. But she said the development would pose a direct threat to Israel, which shares a border with Syria.” Source: http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/20/world/meast/syria-civil-war
»Russia Accuses the US of arming Syrian Rebels with Chem Weapons…
“The international community is looking into the reports. The Russian Foreign Ministry, citing information from Damascus, said chemical weapons were used by the armed opposition, causing deaths and injuries.
“We believe the new incident is an extremely alarming and dangerous development in the Syrian crisis,” the Russian ministry said. “Russia is seriously concerned about the fact of (weapons of mass destruction) coming into the hands of militants, which makes the situation in Syria even worse and brings the confrontation in the country to a new level.”
»The US Accuses Russia and Iran for Aiding Syrian Army…
“Right now, President Assad is receiving help from the Iranians, he’s receiving help from Al Qaeda-related, some elements, he’s receiving help from Hezbollah, and obviously some help is coming in through the Russians,” (Sec.of State John) Kerry said. “If he believes he can shoot it out, Syrians and the region have a problem and the world has a problem.” Source of Both Quotes, CNN
It seems since the days of George HW Bush, through George W. Bush there have been attempts by the US Government to “hasten” the coming Apocalypse. If you have heard of Joel Rosenberg (whom I do not endorse) you would be informed by now that there is a “hastening” happening; however, Joel Rosenberg tells you (at nausea) that it’s the Iranians via Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who’s doing the “hastening” of the “twelfth Imam.” What if it wasn’t Ahmadinejad, but it was really the US Administration? This takes some outside of the box thinking and a little propensity for the conspiratorial, but bear with me as I ponder. Supposedly, the US Administration has for years been attuned to Bible Prophecy and has solicited “experts” on the topic. They (the US Administration) in essence are the ones with the upper hand. By having such experts study all the possible outcomes and even give the US top brass insight into timing and exactly which countries are at their tipping point (in my guesstimation) gives them (the US) the ability to counterfeit an Apocalyptic scenario. Calm down ok, I’m just pondering, and asking some what if’s. I’m not saying I have highly classified documented proof that Joel Rosenberg and all like elk before him were used in a secret attempt to bring about the End of the World. I am pointing out that the US Government has always been concerned with being a world superpower and systematically controlling many of the wars we have been told were organic by which they were not. However, I do understand that ultimately God’s WORD will be perfectly executed and no mere man can manipulate God’s prophetic course no matter how “close” man thinks he is to manipulating God; however, that doesn’t stop man from trying, now nor ever in our history, has it not?
What is going on in Syria certainly appears to be a Psy-Op (psychological Operation). We have a “rebel” military, an “Opposition interim leader,” the US arming the rebels, and the Russians arming the Syrian government. What more do we need? Oh yeah, chemical weapons (weapons of Mass Destruction). I deliberately reused my pictures of Bashar al-Assad to illustrate that Assad was highly valued, and considered at one time a workable “frenemy.” I like the picture of Rick Warren,Rupert Murdoch’s Pastor, giving Assad a plaque. Isn’t that one nice? And the one with Pelosi screams she is in “awe” of him (Assad). Then lastly our very own newly “Appointed” Secretary of State John Kerry sitting across from Assad engaged in attentive pose. The old pictures illustrate that the US was at one time friends with Assad and all of a sudden he’s enemy number one and his country is “vitally” important to the security of Israel. Where have we heard that screenplay before? It would behoove Assad to take an early leave of absence and take up asylum where it’s been offered. He must be getting a honey of a deal from Putin to stay the course and suffer all this grief of trying to keep his power. I’m sure Assad got the memo on Hussein, Mubarak, and Gaddafi.
There are real people dying in the country of Syria. For What? For Who? Who gains from Syria’s leadership going away? What does Syria have that ‘we’ need? Destabilizing Syria ultimately creates a hostile environment for Israel. Does Israel want a war with Syria? Is Syria just another proxy war like Iraq and Afghanistan was/is? Is this really the US vs. Mother Russia? Meanwhile the people of Syria suffer and deserve better than what the “rebels” are offering and that includes the WH version of Democracy.
Here are some sources on Rick Warren’s trip to Syria and his pastor-ship of Rupert Murdoch (Sovereign Knight of Malta). *As always links are never an endorsement.
American Protestant Pastor Rick Warren on Monday said there was no peace in the region without Syria, noting that 80 percent of the American people rejected what the US Administration is doing in Iraq and considered the US policy in the Mideast as wrong.
Syria’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Badr al-Din Hassoun received the American Pastor in Damascus in which he referred to the importance of spreading culture of amity, peace and coexistence instead of the ‘clash of civilizations’.
The Mufti called for conveying the real image of Syria, national unity and its call to spread peace, amity and justice to the American people which the US administration has distorted their image before the world.
Pastor Warren expressed admiration of Syria and the coexistence he saw between Muslims and Christians, stressing that he will convey this image to his church and country.
Rick Warren, Purpose-Driven Pornography? (Source: http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/816213025.html)
Excerpt: “Sadly, Murcdoch’s actions have already damaged his credibility as a Christian” said Rosebrough. “If Pastor Warren does not act swiftly and call on Murdoch to dismantle his porn distribution network, then the credibility of the Christian message will be compromised around the globe.”
According to Rosebrough, “This is a clear case of a Christian openly committing a monstrous and unthinkable sin. The Bible clearly states in 1 Corinthians 5 that when a Christian brother is openly and unrepentantly engaging in sins of this magnitude the church must discipline that person. As his Pastor, Rick Warren has a Biblical duty to call Murdoch to repentance for this sin and/or put him out of the church.”
VIPR team created by Federal Agency TSA has conducted yet another “Security Theater” in how to get you, Joe Public, to surrender your 4th Amendment Right. Most likely Joe Public has no idea what that right is and thus is equally susceptible to having that right infringed upon. The way the current Administration conducts itself in a covertly fashion it appears its new goal is to have our 4th Amendment entirely removed from our knowledge and vocabulary. Whereas we are outraged over the threat against our 2nd Amendment right, we are also dually under attack by our own government of our 4th Amendment right. N4TM provides you, Joe Public, with information, it’s up to you what you do with it.
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

VIPR, aka TSA, aka White House Administration is doing everything in its power to get you to surrender your own civil liberties. Please note that this video “happened” to be captured by a photo journalist on board and no one appears to be scared or perplexed to a TSA agent in black with body armor searching cars with a Geiger counter.
This video and story was originally posted by CBS Chicago and can be found here. I checked into this a little more and it was of high interest to me. VIPR (Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response) has been around since 2004. It shows up and conducts unlawful searches of people and is just an overall threat to our Civil Liberties. It’s no miracle or coincidence that the above video was “captured” by a photo journalist who happened to be riding the train.
“CBS 2′s photojournalist Lana Hinshaw-Klann happened to be at the scene and used a cell-phone camera to record agents in action.” Source CBS2 Chicago hyper-linked above.
DHS describes VIPR as follows:
“Following the Madrid train bombing in 2005, TSA developed the VIPR program to allow TSA security and law enforcement assets to augment federal, state, and local law enforcement and security agencies in the transportation domain.
TSA’s VIPR teams provide a full range of law enforcement and security capability; the exact makeup of VIPR teams is determined jointly with local authorities and can include Federal Air Marshals(FAMs), Transportation Security Officers (TSOs), Behavior Detection Officers (BDOs), TSA certified explosive detection canine teams, Transportation Security Inspectors (TSIs), Transportation Security Specialists – Explosives (TSSEs), explosives operational support, security and explosive screening technology, radiological/nuclear detection, and local law enforcement officers.
TSA VIPR teams can be deployed at random locations and times in cooperation with local authorities to deter and defeat terrorist activity; or teams may be deployed to provide additional law enforcement or security presence at transportation venues during specific alert periods or in support of special events. TSA routinely conducts thousands of VIPR operations each year in transportation systems nationwide.” Source DHS official Government Website
Back to the Story from CBS2 Chicago
The TSA agents, VIPR, were able to detect Nuclear Isotopes in this area and “follow” the reading throughout the train station. They are able to do this elsewhere at other stations and have the means to “watch.” For instance take this example from another article I read trying to find out more about “VIPR:”
‘Security theater’
New Jersey Transit Police Chief Christopher Trucillo, who works regularly with VIPR teams, acknowledged that the search system isn’t perfect.
Potential attackers carrying explosives who refuse searches are free to simply drive to the next station on the line and board there.
“Because of the sheer number of passengers, there’s nothing that would prevent you from doing that,” Trucillo said. But there also are “things behind the scenes that are not visible to the traveling public that we employ to keep our system safe.” Source: CNN: TSA rail, subway spot checks raise privacy Issues.
This should be a huge concern of Americans that they are being watched by the government at all times. They are not just looking for terrorists, they are watching “Us!” Case in point, take a read of this from Huffington Post:
“Turns out the TSA goes to NFL games and political conventions and all kinds of places that have little or nothing to do with air travel. It even has a special division called VIPR — an unfortunate acronym for Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response team — that conducts these searches.
Few people know that $105 million of their taxpayer dollars are going to fund 37 VIPR teams in 2012, whose purpose is to “augment” the security of any mode of transportation. They don’t realize that these VIPR teams can show up virtually anytime, anywhere and without warning, subjecting you to a search of your vehicle or person.” Source: The TSA Wants To Be Everywhere In 2013 — Here’s Why We Shouldn’t Let It (Huffington Post.com)
In light of discovering an agency that has existed since 2004 which I had not yet heard of until today it is nice to know that others have paid attention and have raised the same concerns over our civil liberties that are threatened by this government. I found this interesting post speaking of the legality of TSA’s VIPR team, read here: DHS Lawyer : Travelers Need Not Submit To TSA VIPR Teams, of course this is not an endorsement of the blog/site it’s used here for informational purposes.
I know that all eyes are on Sarah Palin drinking a Big Gulp at CPAC, and with Rand Paul for standing against the use of Drones in America, and with the newly “elected” Jesuit Pope; but while Americans in the US struggle to find ammo for their 9mm and wait patiently to obtain clearance to buy up what guns remain on the shelves at our local gun shops, we are also being eroded of our 4th Amendment Right. It appears that Barack Obama’s team is and has been at war with and against its own citizens for a long time. Google Glasses are a threat to our privacy sure and so is VIPR (aka TSA, ergo Obama’s White House Administration). America is disappearing into a police state parallel to Stalin’s Russia. We fail to understand the past and we are conversely repeating it.
Areal photo of the burned out cabin where Cop Killer Christopher Dorner standoff ended in Angelus Oaks California, minutes away from Big Bear, CA.
February 7th was the day the world heard about Christopher Dorner. A man with a manifesto, killed two innocent people in Irvine days before and had a hit list of LAPD officers. He was no ordinary lunatic. Dorner had not only police tactical training as a former LAPD officer he was also a Naval Officer trained in A-Symmetrical warfare. He was caught off guard in Corona, CA where he quickly then fled to Riverside of the 15 fwy and ambushed two Riverside Police Officers, killing one, and severely injuring another. All points bulletin, Code Blue. Armed and dangerous, trained in killing and confusing the enemy. When Dorner’s burned out truck was discovered atop of Big Bear Mountain in a small community the manhunt had already began and it was about to take further twists and turns. Every Law Enforcement agency in Southern California wanted this man. He had just killed one of their own and he published a hit list of many LAPD officers. When Dorner’s truck was located in Big Bear media was restricted from showing the areal shots while searches were under way in the mountainous area for this killer. This fact led many to speculate that Drone(s) were being used to comb the area for Dorner. I cannot confirm that Drones were used. The FBI was on the manhunt as well, and although no MSM would touch the fact that the US Government remained deathly silent on one of their own soldiers going off the ranch, we have to know they were fully aware and perhaps even aiding in the search. (My own speculation). We do know that the FBI utilized a Drone to monitor the “Bunker” guy in Alabama just weeks prior to Dorner’s rampage. The Feds closed in after allowing the circus to go on for five or six days and stormed the bunker, shooting the man to death. He was witnessed killing a bus driver and kidnapping a young five year old boy. He was reported to be anti-government. Dorner was not Anti-Government, his philosophies were more aligned with Liberal Agenda talking points (per his own Manifesto). While he hypocritically espoused to be anti-gun and petitioned Barbara Boxer to pass her Anti-Gun laws Dorner was buying up guns, suppressors, and ammo to go on his killing spree of law enforcement officers. We know this administration does all it can to not let a good crisis go to waste. The case for using drones would be easy in a situation like the Manhunt for Dorner, and it would be also in a situation like Sandy Hook. Is it coincidence that the 16 page Memo leaked about CIA director nominee Brennan on the use of Drones on US soil in search for Domestic Terrorists came out on February 4th 2013 and Dorner’s rampage began on February 3rd with the killing of daughter of Randy Quan former LAPD DA who was one of Dorner’s listed targets? People have to feel fear and helplessness first to be willing to trust unconstitutional means of providing safety to the public (e.g TSA, Nude Scanners, Gun prohibition, and now Drones). Perhaps now that our eyes have been manipulated to see a need for Drones, as in the case of Dorner and the Bunker guy, we can recognize that there has already been significant strides in implementing Drones in the US. We just hadn’t paid much attention to what the US Government under the Administration of Obama has been doing to activate Domestic Drones.
Are They Already Watching You (us)?
Do not be ignorant folks, Drones are in use in America already.
An additional 20 U.S. entities that have requested drone authorization have been added to the previous list. Newly listed applicants filed their requests between July 2011 and October 2012, Lynch said, adding that the FAA did not provide the statuses of the requests on the latest document, even though EFF had requested that information.
“From more than 17,000 feet in the air, it can see an object as small as six inches, tracking people and vehicles across an entire city. But the latest government-funded surveillance technology might be a violation of the Constitution if it is deployed in the United States, according to civil liberties groups.
Late last month, an episode of PBS’s series NOVA, “Rise of the Drones,” revealed for the first time the capabilities of an “ARGUS-IS”—the world’s highest resolution camera. Funded by the Pentagon’s research unit DARPA, the 1.8 gigapixel ARGUS was designed to be used on drones to monitor events on the ground below. It was developed by Jiannis Antoniades, an engineer with the defense firm BAE Systems, who told Nova the technology uses a “persistent stare” that is equivalent of having 100 Predator drones look at an area the size of a medium city at once.” Source Slate.com

Hit Lists, Drones, and Dead Men Walking.
Christopher Dorner a self proclaimed vigilante and justice seeker had a hit list. Barack Obama has a hit list too. Obama has already legalized killing American citizens at home or abroad if they are deemed “terrorists.” Remember Anwar al-Awlaki? He was an American Citizen targeted by Obama and given the ok to use a drone strike against him to kill him.
Barack Obama orders killing of US cleric Anwar al-Awlaki
Perhaps you don’t recall the manhunt for this man. If you do not know this man was a target and killed via drone, your may not also know that his teenage son was killed with him.
“Among the slain was also Abdel-Rahman Awlaki, Anwar’s 16-year-old son, one of his cousins Ahmed Abdelrahman Awlaki, and several of their friends, who were all teenage boys.
Though the Obama Administration seems pretty comfortable with assassinating the elder Awlaki, even though he was a US citizen and not charged with any crimes, the killing of the assorted other people, including several teenagers, seems considerably more suspect. Killing children with missiles isn’t exactly new to the president, of course, but Abdel-Rahman’s status as a natural-born US citizen who was never even suspected of a crime is likely to make it difficult to sweep his assassination under the rug.” Source Here (not an endorsement of the site) Here’s another source: The Atlantic
The United States Government already uses drones on US soil. The United States Government already targets Americans and issues green lights for those on its kill list. The United States Government has already issued defining characteristics of what it considers to be “extremist” and/or domestic terrorism. Do not be ignorant folks, YOU ARE THE ENEMY, this Administration has already said so. And don’t you ever forget it!
*note from N4TM I cannot say that I’m for the use of Drones 100%. I would have not objected to the use of a Drone to locate Dorner, but I would not be in favor of it being used to kill him especially if there were innocent people who would get killed in return. I don’t advocate the use of Drones by the US military in Pakistan. I have done a lot of research on that topic and there is extensive innocent lives lost when they use these weapons. This is not an easy call because as we all know when it’s our loved ones in danger we would want all means necessary to find the bad guy. However, our current government has identified you and me as the “bad guy,” so how we can be for it if the system be against us? This will continue to be an issue of grave importance and a matter of thoughtful prayer and consideration.
(CNN) -- The funeral for Hugo Chavez was held Friday, but his final resting place will not be a cemetery.
In an unexpected twist, it was announced that the Venezuelan president will be embalmed "just like Lenin (and) Mao Zedong" and laid to rest at a military museum where generations of Venezuelans can visit.
It is a reminder that Chavez's image -- a symbol of hope to some and ineptitude to others -- will not soon fade.
Obama is anti-life, anti-God, and anti-American. He is a perversion and ruled by a demonic spirit. He rules the US government in like manner. Friends, you’re being manipulated and deceived. Think about it. ~N4TM
