US President Barack Obama avoids world’s leaders at United Nations summit but appears on The View

THIS week he did it again, this president who has failed so spectacularly.

So utterly.

The world’s leaders are meeting in New York for the United Nations summit, and what does Barack Obama do?

No, not schedule a one-on-one meeting with a single one of those leaders – not even as US embassies are under siege from Muslim mobs in a dozen countries.

No, he slips off to film a vote-for-me-me-me chat with the admiring ladies of TV chat show The View.

“I’m just eye candy here,” he glowed, and never has he spoken the truth so loudly. [Read more…]

the Obama surprise

By

The more the administration gives credence to this false cause of the Muslim riots — it was an Al Quada 9/11 plan and not the video — the more it creates Muslim unrest in the 3rd world. How many Muslim lives will Obama sacrifice to keep up the distraction to get himself re-elected?

Obama Is An Autocrat, Not A Democrat

By ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN
Posted 09/11/2012 07:09 PM ET
Barack Obama is very dangerous, the apotheosis of an insidious strain of authoritarianism that destroys freedom from within.

It had been gnawing away at America’s vitals since the 1930s. Then, impatient for power, Obama’s Chicago contingent hit upon the ultimate quick-acting fraud — capture the White House by electing an illusion.

They conjured up an imaginary Obama invested with virtues never before or since found in the original. The make-believe Obama then starred in an electoral fairy tale scripted by the media and proclaimed a hit by bewitched voters.

Thus did it come to pass in the year 2008 that Americans were duped into electing a president quite different from the illusion for which they voted.

The real Obama is a steely-eyed autocrat, dedicated to expanding power at the expense of our liberty, still a bit of a Marxist, alternately hostile to or agnostic about capitalism, and intent on transforming America into a government-controlled society composed of obedient automatons. [Read more…]

FINAL NGWA Comments on BLM Proposed Rule 08232012

National Ground Water Association:

The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) is the largest association of groundwater professionals in the world. Our members include leading public and private sector groundwater scientists, engineers, water well contractors, manufacturers, and suppliers of groundwater-related products and services.

General Comments:

NGWA recognizes that hydraulic fracturing of oil and gas wells is a mature technology and has been a widespread practice for many decades. While no widespread water quality or quantity issues have been definitively documented that are attributable to hydraulic fracturing and related activities at oil and gas well sites, there have been isolated cases where faulty casing installations (including poor cement bonds) or poor management of materials/chemicals at the surface are suspected as having negatively impacted groundwater, surface water or water wells.

Background check on BHO

By

Israel Science and Technology Homepage

This tells the story in a way that makes you realize just who voters could be “hiring” on Nov. 4th.

Received this from someone who was in Government Security and also Corporate Security. He said, ‘Those of you that have worked in industries that require high level security clearances can understand the probable rejection of this Candidate.’

Imagine for a few moments that you are the Human Resources Director of a major multi-billion dollar corporation. You are sitting in your office when you receive a phone call from the Chairman of the Board of Directors. He tells you that the board is considering a candidate for a high-level executive position. He advises you to complete a thorough background investigation and have it to him within 10 days.

You immediately call the Private Detective Agency you have used for years and give them the name and address of the prospective candidate, along with the deadline for a high level security clearance. Your next move is to call your assistant to your office, giving him/her the candidate’s personal information along with instructions to ‘do your standard beginning background checks.’

Preliminary findings begin landing in your fax machine on the third day. [Read more…]

Persuasive


Not-Persuasive


Not-Persuasive

The not-persuasives prevailed – a harbinger of BOCCs to come?  At least one commissioner speaks to following the rule of law, rather than the rule of the 10 noisy complainants who show up at every county meeting.  I’m confident that most of the other 25,000 county citizens would favor the rule of law over the rule of 10.

In the United States, under the 1st Am. of the Constitution that protects freedom of speech and freedom of religion, we have one tool to offset a determined Islamic invasion. Islam is more than a religion. It also includes political, economic, legal and social systems. Yet whenever an Islamic manifestation bumps up against an American element, it takes shelter under the 1st Am. guarantee of religious freedom.

How does a religious system intent on replacing our constitutional government with a totalitarian caliphate of sheiks, get by with calling itself merely a religion? It does because dichotomies like this are in the nature of theocratic Islam.

So, since this battleground lives under the umbrella of the 1st Am., it is there, using free speech, that the battle must be engaged. That is why this video must be heard.  That is why this discussion is essential to our future.  We are up against an invasive system that intends to subjugate us, to force us to submit, to Islam in every aspect of our lives.  And it is using our Constitution against us.

Our constitutional right to free speech is the only tool within America that can defend America against Islam.  Coincidentally, it’s also the primary constitutional tool that the politically correct try to suppress.  And it’s a tool that does not exist under Islam.  If we don’t use this constitutional tool of free speech to not only defend America, but to also defend the Constitution itself which enables America to exist, we will surely lose both.

No American can safely ignore this battle.  You can choose between fighting it, or losing it, because Islam is not just going to go away.

Oil & Gas Task Force gone rogue

By

The Colorado Attorney General made it abundantly clear to Richard Miller and Elbert County back on January 24th that water quality enforcement incident to oil and gas drilling came under the jurisdiction of Colorado state regulation.

Colorado Attorney General to Richard Miller, January 24th, 2012

See Section III. D

The Oil & Gas Task Force headed by Richard Miller, in the latest MOU and in the draft Oil & Gas Zoning regulations, have completely ignored the Colorado Attorney General.

Memorandum of Understanding with the COGCC

Draft Elbert County Oil & Gas Regulations, August 28, 2012

Moreover, while continuing to push an agenda for local regulatory intervention, the Oil & Gas Task Force has ignored the extensive Water Quality Baseline data already maintained and published by the COGCC.

Baseline Water Quality Review – Elbert County, Colorado

Why have all the candidates, Democrat and Republican alike, ignored this brewing conflict, and ignored the extensive data already in place to resolve the matter?

Why have the sitting commissioners allowed this brewing conflict to continue?

Why have all of the liberal pundits at the Prairie Times, the Elbert County Sun, the Ranchland News, the Elbert County News, the New Plains, the Ecogig, and the Elbert Grab, ignored all of it?

Obama’s Plan

There’s simply no money to pay for Obama’s plans.  After adding $6 Trillion to the debt, why should he care?  If the American dollar is inflated out of existence, it means he’ll get to preside over the disintegration of our economy, and it will provide him with the excuse he seeks to impose his totalitarian vision — a win/win for Obama.

voter registrations don’t add up in Elbert County

By

Colorado-Voting-Age-Population-and-Registered-Voters-Elbert County

With 18,000 eligible voters, and 4% extra registrations, that’s 720 erroneous voters assuming an otherwise perfect system, which would be an unreasonable assumption to make based on this uncovered error.

I wonder who gets to vote those extra registrations?   Could this explain the primary results last June?

Water quality baseline study

By

Why is the Oil & Gas Regulations task force writing an MOU/zoning regulation to collect water quality baseline data, as if that information did not already exist?

From as recently as May of 2012?

Including data from a well owned by one of the task force members?

See:  Baseline Water Quality Review – Elbert County, Colorado

“Generally, groundwater quality in the wells sampled for this study is good. There’s no evidence that water quality has been impacted by activities related to oil and natural gas exploration or production activities.”
