OBAMA WATCH: 5.2.14

Why Kerry must be removed - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 
On April 22, 1971, John Kerry testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about an investigation of "over 150 honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command." He said, "They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs..." He went on to say, "There is no threat. The Communists are not about to take over our McDonald hamburger stands." Turns out, Kerry was manipulated by anti-American radicals.
 
In July 2008, Pennsylvania Republican Joe Pitts spoke on the House floor revealing that Kerry's testimony relied on a report prepared by people who were not former soldiers. He said, "They were frauds. They were out only to discredit the military and our country. But John Kerry never repudiated or apologized for his statements." In fact, in an April 23, 2004 interview with CNN, Kerry claimed his comments were "mostly the voice of a young, angry person who wanted to end the war...But they were the words that came out of my gut at the time based on the anger and frustration that I felt back when it was happening...I'm not going to back down one inch on what I've fought for and what I've stood for all of these years."
 
Can Americans assume it was the same gut feeling and anger that prompted him to put the words Israel and apartheid together in describing what Israel will become if it doesn't follow his ideas for peace? Is this the same misinformed, manipulated attitude he held 43 years ago about his own country--for which he is still unapologetic? Is it the height of arrogance or the belief that he was right in referring to Israel as a possible apartheid state when he refused to apologize and instead issued the statement: "I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes, so I want to be crystal clear about what I believe and what I don't believe."
 
Using reckless and anti-American language is a habit for Kerry. It is not becoming of a Secretary of State. Apartheid is defined as "a policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race." If any people on earth experienced apartheid, it is the Jews. For Kerry to make such a remark is insensitive, ignorant and disrespectful in the least. But if Kerry is defiant as his statements about what he believes and that no one should question his commitment, and at the same time, unapologetic, one has to at least take him for his word. This is why he must be removed. He has no credibility for as Jesus said in Matthew 12:34, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." Americans should demand his ouster. 

Questioning Kerry's commitment to Israel - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 
In a rare display of public anger, Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement defending and explaining his remarks that Israel could become an "apartheid" state if it didn't accept Palestinian statehood. He said, "First, Israel is a vibrant democracy and I do not believe, nor have I ever stated, publicly or privately, that Israel is an apartheid state or that it intends to become one." But Secretary Kerry, isn't that what you told the secret and conspiratorial Trilateralist Commission? The Daily Beast confirmed Kerry as saying that if there is no two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict soon, Israel risks becoming "an apartheid state." Kerry denied he said what he said, but that's not the least of it.
 
Kerry also said, "I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes, so I want to be crystal clear about what I believe and what I don't believe." Well, Mr. Kerry, please afford me the opportunity to go on record as questioning your commitment to Israel. You said in the same statement: "I want to see a two state solution that results in a secure Jewish state and a prosperous Palestinian state, and I've actually worked for it." You admit then that your actions have spoken as loud as your words. Establishing a terrorist state on traditional Jewish lands that refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist is not in Israel's best interest. Yet that is what you are working for.
 
Yes, Mr. Kerry, I question your commitment to Israel. You work for a pro-Islamic Administration that has perpetrated revolution and instability throughout the Middle East. Your State Department is complicit in throwing Egypt into a Muslim Brotherhood-supported chaos and has done so using American tax funds and working with terrorists. Your support for al Qaeda-backed "rebels" in Syria is widely documented. You openly dialogue with Iranian madmen who have stated that their main objective is to "wipe Israel from the face of the earth." At every juncture you have blamed Israel for failing to reach peace while often giving the "Palestinians" a pass. And you have the nerve to lecture about commitment to Israel?
 
How dare you. Your commitment to Israel is in question by your own words and actions. Joel 3:2 says, "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided my land." You and your fellow politicians attempts to divide the land of Israel have lasting and destructive prophetic consequences for this nation. A veteran ambassador with a commitment to Israel would never use "apartheid" and "Israel" in the same context. From the abundance of your heart, your mouth speaks. You should show some self-respect and resign.

Secret US-Hezbollah talks - Washington plans to include Lebanon, Syria deals in Iran nuclear pact - http://www.debka.com/article/23876/Secret-US-Hizballah-talks-Washington-plans-to-include-Lebanon-Syria-deals-in-Iran-nuclear-pact-

 
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' initiation of a unity pact with the Hamas extremists last week did not come out of the blue. It was prompted by the direct contacts the Obama administration has secretly established with the Lebanese Hezbollah. Abbas reasoned that if Washington can start a dialogue with a terrorist organization, so too can his own PLO and Fatah.
 
debkafile's Washington sources report that the Obama administration appears to have carried over to Lebanon the doctrine set out by the late Richard Holbrooke for Afghanistan, whereby dialogue with Taliban should be made the centerpiece of Washington's strategy for US troop withdrawal. Holbrooke's influence on Secretary of State John Kerry dated back to his run for the presidency in 2004.
 
In Lebanese terms, Hezbollah's Hassan Nasrallah has become the equivalent of Taliban's Mullah Mohammad. Hezbollah has scored high in the Syrian war. Its military intervention on the side of Bashar Assad in the last year is credited with turning the Syrian army's fortunes around from near defeat in 2013 to partial triumph in key areas of Syria this year. Nasrallah is able to boast that his movement's commitment to the Syrian conflict is its central mission and will remain so until rebel and al Qaeda forces are finally vanquished.
 
What the Hezbollah leader is trying to put across, in terms of the Holbrooke doctrine, is that like Mullah Omar in Afghanistan, he, Nasrallah, holds the key to resolving the Syrian civil war.
 
The Obama administration bought this premise and decided to apply it to broadening the rapidly progressing dialogue with Tehran to related areas. The plan developed in Washington was to seize the momentum of the nuclear track and ride it to a broad US-Iranian understanding that embraces a comprehensive nuclear accord with Tehran as well as understandings for resolving the Syrian and Lebanese questions.
 
Administration officials figure that Nasrallah heeds no one but the ayatollahs in Tehran. He may talk big but he knows that his fate is in the hands of his Iranian masters. If Iran decides it is time for him to go, it will be curtains for him. His involvement in the Syrian war is considered to be contingent on the strategic decisions of Iran's leaders. (He was a lot less confident in the winter of 2013 when Hezbollah's home bases were being smashed in lethal suicide bombings.)
 
 Iran also determines which weapons are supplied to the Hezbollah units fighting in Syria, in which sectors they fight and how to respond to his pleas for reinforcements.
 
 In Washington's view, Hezbollah's involvement in the Syrian war has increased its leader's dependence on Tehran. He accordingly has little room for maneuver in contacts with US representatives and if he turns difficult, they are sure they can turn to Tehran to force him in line.
 
 It is also believed in administration circles that the secret Saudi exchanges with Tehran (first revealed by DEBKA Weekly) will eventually produce Riyadh's acceptance of Hezbollah as a dominant factor in Syria and Lebanon.
 
However, many Middle East experts find the US take on Hezbollah to be naïve and simplistic and strongly doubt that the path it has chosen will bring Nasrallah - or Tehran - around to serving America's will or purposes. They draw a parallel with the underlying US assumptions which ultimately led the Palestinians-Israeli talks off track.
 
But expectations of the Hezbollah track are high and strongly guide the actions of President Obama, John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice and CIA Director John Brennan. And so, in early March, the first secret rendezvous took place in Cyprus between CIA officers and Hezbollah intelligence and security operatives.
 
According to a number of Mid East intelligence sources, two such meetings have since been conducted and initial US-Hezbollah understandings reached relating to the volatile situations in Syria and Lebanon.
 
Our intelligence sources add that US Ambassador to Beirut David Hale has been in charge of preparing these meetings and implementing the understandings reached.
 Forget the blood moons, we've got Kerry - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 
A book by John Hagge touted the possibility of prophetic things happening this year on Passover because of the tetra blood moons, as he called them. Well, nothing of note really happened. I would think that, while very interesting reading, when the sixth seal is broken and "the moon became as blood," humans will all know that it was quite supernatural and it was the Lord's doing. But I digress. We don't need blood moons to tell us that prophecy is advancing. We have John Kerry. On the heels of his "Poof" moment with Israel, he is now warning that Israel risks becoming "an apartheid state" if it doesn't allow the Palestinian terrorists to establish a nation on Israeli land.
 
When it comes to Israel and the Palestinian terrorists, John Kerry is believed to have a "Messiah Complex." In September 2013 Israel's Defense Minister said that Kerry operates "upon an unfathomable obsession and a messianic feeling" and "The only thing that can 'save' us is that John Kerry will get a Nobel Peace Prize and leave us alone." It was just two weeks ago that Kerry blamed Israel for undermining the so-called "peace process" with the Palestinian Authority. This caused a diplomatic firestorm with the Israeli Prime Minister's office having to set Kerry straight on the facts. Meantime, the Palestinians cooked a deal with fellow terrorists Hamas and have refused to recognize Israel's right to exist.
 
But if Israel doesn't give up its traditional lands in Samaria and Judea (West Bank) and a ribbon of land that cuts Israel in half reaching from the West Bank to Gaza (the Hamas terrorist experiment that went bad under George W Bush), Israel will become an apartheid state, according to America's wise and all-knowing Secretary of State. "Kerry the messianic" might ought to read up on God's foreign policy in Genesis and Zechariah. In Genesis 12:3, the Lord says of Israel, "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee." In Zechariah 12:9, the Lord says, "And it shall come to pass in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem." But Kerry persists.
 
The Daily Beast reports that Kerry, in a closed door "Trilateral Commission" meeting of world leaders, said that Israel risked becoming an apartheid state and that at some point he "might unveil his own peace deal and tell both sides to take it or leave it." The Daily Beast points out that this terminology is rarely used in diplomatic circles and that experts on apartheid have argued "that the comparisons between the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians and "apartheid" are offensive and wrong." Not only that, Kerry is offensive and wrong. Americans should demand his resignation. In fact, with such a case of foot in mouth disease, he should be permanently quarantined...just saying.

Bipartisan Immigration Plan--creating a house divided - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 
Roll Call reports that a bipartisan overhaul of immigration is closer than ever. The Capital Hill insider paper says that Florida Republican Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart believes there will be a bill that balances border security with legal status for "the undocumented." He said, "I think we have figured out a way to secure, to have border and interior security, holding the administration accountable for the enforcement ... forcing the administration to enforce the law whether they want to or not. And I think we figured out a way to deal with the folks that are here in a way that is fair... who are doing everything legally." Congressman, they are not doing everything legally if they are here illegally. But there is more.
 
The Republicans who support making illegal aliens citizens are overlooking the bait and switch. The occupant of the Oval Office and his Attorney General have refused to enforce border security and immigration laws. These laws are already on the books. They refuse to enforce them. Adding more laws on the books and requiring a lawless Administration to "enforce" them is doing the same thing over again expecting different results. Meantime, the communists and anarchists get what they want--people who are here illegally, already breaking the law, who have no intent of assimilating in this country as "Americans," becoming voting citizens. It is anarchy at its best.
 
What we have here is a bunch of elected officials who think they are smart focused on trying to get communists to enforce the law. These communists, including Attorney General Eric Holder, the president, and the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress, only enforce the laws that they want enforced. They are laughing all the way to the negotiating table. They are about to negotiate a deal with the socialist Republican leadership that will essentially do away with the two-party system and forever make the United States a socialist democracy.  There will be socialist Republicans and Democrats, and communist Democrats because those will be the only ones elected by the illegal anarchists allowed citizenship and border security will still not be enforced.
 
These people are so wrapped around playing the game of politics that they cannot see the destruction they are about to cause. Part of what made America great was that immigrants from around the world came here legally, proud to be "American" and assimilated into the culture. Today, they come here illegally, expect to have all the benefits of citizenship, keep their own culture, and benefit from the wealth of others through social services. This creates many divisions within a nation--and opportunity to pit people groups against one another as we have seen this Administration do so adeptly. Jesus said in Mark 3:25, "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."

Is John Boehner Stupid, Bought, Or On The Other Side?

Scroll down for Root's video commentary.
Hello, I'm Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty.
Something is wrong with the most powerful Republican in the United States Congress. Speaker of the House John Boehner is either stupid, bought and paid for by crony corporate interests, or he's on the other side (a Democrat posing as a Republican). Because nothing else explains the news that the GOP intends to pass immigration reform (i.e. amnesty) this year.
You might be wondering how I know it's "amnesty?" Because to pass it through Harry Reid's Senate and to avoid a veto from President Obama, it must include some form of amnesty for illegal immigrants (i.e. future Democratic voters). Nothing could ever pass Harry Reid's Senate that doesn't include some form of amnesty, allowing Democrats to wear the crown of conquering heroes to the Latino community and therefore garner more votes for Team Obama in November.
Democrats are about to be crushed. They are drowning. They are desperate to shuffle the deck. Why would any sane GOP leader throw them a life preserver?
Chuck Schumer - the ultimate liberal - is winking and nodding on Sunday morning TV shows like it's a done deal. Do you think he's winking because he's just agreed in the backroom to a deal that hurts Democratic voters? Do you think the President that has, for all intents and purposes halted deportations, would agree to any bill that sells illegal immigrants down the river? If you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you in. Mexico.
Now let's examine why even discussing (let alone passing) any immigration bill is self-destructive, stupid and political suicide for Republicans.
First, Democrats are on the run. They are about to be destroyed in November. Every poll shows it. Every bit of common sense tells the same story. Every conversation with average middle class Americans proves it. Obamacare has ruined Obama and the Democratic Party. The latest poll shows Obama at 41 percent approval. There are literally no voters left to support Obama who aren't being bribed with a government check. Just as I reported earlier this year, Obama's support among the actual taxpayers, business owners and homeowners of America is darn close to zero.
Knowing this, why would the leader of Congressional Republicans want to change the conversation? Why would he want to let Obama off the hook? Why would he discuss anything but Obamacare for the next six months? Doesn't Boehner want to win? When you've got the opposition on the run, why would you lift your boot off their neck? Makes me wonder which team he's playing for? What about you?
Why wouldn't any sane GOP leader keep talking Obamacare 24/7 for six months in a row, until the clock runs out? Millions have lost their coverage; millions more have had premiums raised; millions have lost their doctors; everyone that can think is steaming mad.
The vast majority of people who got free insurance from Obamacare are virtually 100 percent government-addicted, welfare-loving, food stamp-loving, dependent Democratic voters. Obama hasn't picked up one vote. But he's gotten millions of independents mad as a hornet's nest.
To change the conversation now would be dereliction of duty. If this were the military, General Boehner would be relieved of his command and brought up on criminal charges. He is harming his own troops. He is purposely losing the war. He is pulling defeat from the jaws of victory. Who does that?
Secondly, my grandfather taught me about how to treat your loyal customers. He was a successful small business owner. He always said the key to success was "the customer is always right." Why would Boehner poke a stick in the eyes of his best customers? Why would he mock conservatives? Why would he turn off his loyal conservative base now, on the precipice of a landslide in November? It defies logic.
Third and most importantly, if everyone "in the know" believes the GOP is on the verge of a massive landslide victory (and they are), why would you even think of negotiating an immigration reform bill now? Think about it. Now it's a lose/lose. Obama and Reid hold all the cards. But starting in January of 2015, with a GOP Senate and House; and Obama an embarrassed, emasculated lame duck; the GOP would hold all the cards.
What Republican leader would be dumb enough to pass the bill now? Wait until 2015 and instead of begging for crumbs, the GOP is dictating the terms of Obama's surrender. What sane leader would trade a win/win for a lose/lose scenario?
Into this situation steps John Boehner, leader of the party that practices shooting itself in the foot. Boehner is theoretically on our side, yet he wants to let Democrats off the hook for Obamacare; change the conversation to something divisive and controversial; demoralize and anger his own best customers; hand a moral victory to Obama; inspire the Democrats' core voters; and negotiate from the worst possible position, instead of waiting just a few months to negotiate from the best possible position.
Does any of this make sense to you? So I ask you.
Is John Boehner stupid, bought and paid for, or on the other side? He's either not thinking clearly, or he's not on our side. No matter your answer, it's now clear Boehner has to go.
I'm Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. God Bless America and save us from the Marxist in the White House intent on destroying capitalism and wiping out the middle class. and the feckless, floundering, cowardly or traitorous Republicans in Congress who refuse to stand up to him.

Of Benghazi and Dobson - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com

 
No one I know would link Focus on the Family founder Dr. James Dobson with the Administration's cover up over four Americans dying in a terrorist attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya September 11, 2012. Dobson's is an example for all Americans that should be exercised at every opportunity. The first Thursday of May Christians gather from across the country to pray for our nation. It's called The National Day of Prayer. While the National Day of Prayer was taking place, the media, members of Congress and henchmen of the occupant of the Oval Office were embroiled in a war of words over the Administration's lies and cover-up of what happened in Benghazi. But what does Dr. Dobson have to do with it?
 
The news media and Congressmen were catching members of the Administration in lie after lie, especially with the condemning testimony of military personnel confirming that they knew Benghazi was a terrorist attack at the earliest possible stages, 3:00 am during the attack. Yet the Administration, including the president himself, continued to lie to the world that the attacks were the result of a spontaneous demonstration over an offensive video for well into two weeks afterwards. Retired Air Force Brigadier General Robert Lovell told the House Oversight Committee, "This was no demonstration gone terrible awry." The Administration's lies are not in dispute. What is in dispute is why they lied.
 
Across the way, another gathering was taking place on Capitol Hill--the National Day of Prayer. A Founder of the event, Dr. Dobson spoke of how this current president is the "abortion president." And how he was trying to force Dobson's Family Talk ministry into paying for abortion through socialist healthcare. Dobson took the Administration to court and won. WND reported that Dobson recalled his thinking: "I believe in the rule of law, and it has been my practice since I was in college to respect and honor those in authority over us. It is my desire to do so now. However, this assault on the sanctity of human life takes me where I cannot go."
 
He continued: "I WILL NOT pay the surcharge for abortion services. The amount of the surcharge is irrelevant. To pay one cent for the killing of babies is egregious to me, and I will do all I can to correct a government that lies to me about its intentions and then tries to coerce my acquiescence with extortion. It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture. The Creator will not hold us guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of His innocent babies. So come and get me if you must, Mr. President. I will not bow before your wicked regulation." The link between Dobson and Benghazi is the Administration, which lies to cover the deaths of many.
 
The president lied about the Affordable Care Act to cover up his plan to redistribute wealth, and promote abortion and homosexuality at taxpayer expense. The Administration is lying about Benghazi to cover up something else. Dobson has called the president out on his lying tongue. He did so straightforwardly and powerfully, saying "It would be a violation of my most deeply held convictions to disobey what I consider to be the principles in Scripture." You see, all law comes from God. Because God is just, an unjust law is no law. And as Peter said in Acts 5:29, "We ought to obey God rather than men." We need to follow Dobson's lead in standing up to this evil regime for righteousness sake. Speak boldly and often.
