BizCzar

Obama Names New Pseudo-Czarina

Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, appointed Friday to launch the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, likely won't be the agency's first official director, but she will have a major say in who gets the powerful job.

Warren also will have a broader portfolio of duties, advising President Obama on "policies and programs that are designed to protect the financial interests of middle-class families," the White House said. . .

Avoiding a messy confirmation fight, Obama chose not to nominate Warren to a five-year term as the agency's first director. Instead, he made her an assistant to the president and a special advisor to Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner, jobs that do not require Senate approval.



Continuing his strange quasi-imperial reign over America, President Soetorobama has named yet another Czarina, this time a fellow Harvard creature named Elizabeth Warren. Her job will be to allegedly protect consumers against nasty tricks of the banking and financial industries. Why Barry is doing this is unclear, since he has spearheaded the raping of the American economy by the very same banksters against whom he is now claiming to help protect. This woman and her job are not important.

What is of note is the way in which Soetoro has appointed her, without really appointing her. You see, she is not to be the first director of this new consumer protection department, because that would require Senate confirmation. Instead, Barry has named her as a "temporary" head, but no one knows for how long "temporary" will be. Barry is naming people to positions of power now by making end-runs around the Senate and, in turn, the American people. He is installing his friends and fellow travelers and we have no say in these matters.

Barry Soetoro is, in effect, establishing a fascist dictatorship at the behest of his globalist controllers. I cannot even find a consensus figure as to the number of "Obama's" Czars and Czarinas -- there are so many that people seem to not be able to accurately track them. Glenn Beck's web site lists 32, but that was from over a month ago. I heard or read the number 40 recently, but cannot remember the source. In any case, all of these people who Barry has appointed have power over us. And we have no power to say no to them or to tell the verminous President to stop empowering his cronies in this unconstitutional fashion. It is a bizarre pseudo-America we are living in with our Czars. Perhaps next Barry will create a Politburo and declare that he is dissolving the Congress. Anything is possible with this wretch.

Meddling in the Metals Market

Congressional Hearing Set to Discuss Regulating Gold Sellers

. . .A press release from Rep. Anthony Weiner, Democrat of New York, not yet (as of this instant) posted on Mr. Weiner's Web site, announces that a September 23 hearing of the Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection (a subcommittee of Rep. Henry Waxman's Commerce Committee) will focus on "legislation that would regulate gold-selling companies, an industry who's [sic] relentless advertising is now staple of cable television."

From the press release: "Under Rep. Weiner's bill, companies like Goldline would be required to disclose the reasonable resale value of items being sold."


The appropriately named Congressman Weiner and the equally slimy Henry Waxman (whom Michael Savage calls "Nostrilman" on account of his unusual proboscis) have set a hearing to consider new legislation aimed at the precious metals sellers of America. Two things are going on here -- the federal government and the globalist elite who rule them do not want you to own gold, silver, platinum or palladium, because those metals have intrinsic value. As the economies of the world, and especially ours in the United States, are further destroyed by design, the fiat currencies we all us for buying goods wll continue to decline in purchasing power. But gold and other precious metals always retain their value.

The grand design of the globalists is to bankrupt the rest of humanity, then kill most of us and enslave a "lucky" few to act as farmers, factory workers and sex slaves for the tiny group of ruling elites who will live like kings. In order for this to happen, people must be driven to the point of starvation, where they can no longer afford to eat. But if you own gold, you will always have food on the table. If you convert the increasingly worthless dollar today into precious metals, you are protected.

But Weiner and Nostrilman probably are not intelligent enough to be aware of this Illuminist plan. Our Congressmen and Senators are allowed their positions of power because they are, with a few exceptions, easily manipulated pawns. I can tell you exactly how the idea of regulating the precious metals industry was sold to these two vermin -- metals retailers advertise heavily on conservative talk radio. Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Medved, Hewitt and the other mainstream conservatives all feature ads from different gold companies during their broadcasts. Michael Savage's oldest sponsor is a gold seller. And the alternative broadcasters like Alex Jones almost all run such ads. The radio network on which Alex Jones' show is heard is owned by a gentleman who also owns a precious metals firm.

Weiner and Waxman and the rest of the anti-First Amendment Demoncats would love to shut down conservative and alternative talk radio. If they can figure out how to harass the precious metals retailers out of business or find some way to coerce them into stopping supporting such media outlets, they will. And the globalists sitting above them in the shadows will be laughing at how easy their game of chess is, with dumb pawns like bunch of criminals in power in Washington D.C.

Money for Nothing, Jets for Free

USA to Gift F-35 Fighters to Israel

Israeli government officials confirmed today that they will go ahead with plans to “buy” a number of F-35 stealth fighter jets from US military contractor Lockheed Martin. Reports suggest the deal will be worth $2.75 billion, making it one of the largest single arms purchases ever.

The high cost of the F-35s made the deal controversial among Israeli defense officials, which is perhaps surprising inasmuch as the Israeli government won’t actually be paying a dime for the warplanes.

Rather the entire cost will be covered by the US government in the form of military aid, meaning the US will be pasying [sic] Lockheed directly and delivering the warplnes [sic] to Israel for free.


This is ridiculous. I generally do not comment on matters regarding Israel because I am neither vehemently pro- or anti-Israel. But to be giving away nearly 3 billion dollars worth of our most advanced military hardware to any country is an outrage. The Israeli government can afford the cost of the jets, and the fact that they engaged in a "debate" over whether to "buy" the planes is quite bizarre, since American taxpayers will be footing 100% of the bill. And if it were up to me, none of the latest generation of our military hardware would be made available for sale to even our staunchest allies. All it would take for the enemy to catch up to us in arms technology would be for Iran to shoot down one of these F-35 we're giving to Israel and recover and study the wreckage. Just as the Yugoslavians shot down an F-117 Nighthawk during the Kosovo war, after which they transferred the wreckage to the Russians, who then went on to develop advanced radar systems that can detect the F-117 and B-2, endangering the lives of American pilots...

The One Percent Solution

NOAA's Goal: Reduce Oil Contamination on Beaches To 1%

So far, NOAA’s directives for Gulf Coast beach cleanup include cosmetically washing surface contamination, collecting tar balls, and removing the top layers of certain areas where oil is concentrated.

John Tarpley, chief scientific support coordinator for NOAA, says the agency’s goal is to clean beaches so they have “1 percent of oil or less.” Highly trafficked public beaches are a priority, he adds. However, environmentalists warn that the departure of cleanup crews will not mean the beaches have a clean bill of health.

“They will never clean it all up,’’ says Doug Inkley, a senior scientist for the National Wildlife Federation. “It is impossible to remove all the oil from the environment. That cannot be done.”


One percent isn't much compared to the whole of anything, so why should this article concern anyone? Because one percent, 10,000ppm as it is called in government documents in an effort to minimize public awareness of the severity of this situation, is still too much oil remaining to be safe. The fact that the government's stated goal is to reduce oil contamination to 1% of the total material on the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico is an outrage. It should be reduced to as close to zero as possible, which should be in the range of tens or hundreds of parts per million.

I don't care how expensive would be -- this is BP and the federal government's problem, not the American people's. Rather it is our problem, but it is their responsibility to clean up the disaster that they either caused on purpose or were too negligent to prevent. Would you want to go on vacation and let your children play around on a beach that is 99% sand and water but still 1% oil? That's not even taking into account that BP's contractors are still secretly spraying Corexit at night. This nightmare simply never ends, and in fact seems to get worse, despite the fact that BP allegedly killed their well. More evidence surfaces every single day that damage to the environment is bad and getting more severe. If President Soetorobama receives a single vote from the five Gulf states in 2012 it will be one too many. His administration in partnership with BP will have destroyed their economies for years, perhaps decades to come, as well as their health.

Blackmail

Congressman: BP Blackmailing U.S. Government

BP wants the federal government to meet its demand for continued access to oil and gas leases in the United States. If the oil giant can't keep drilling here, its promise to compensate victims of the Deepwater Horizon disaster might go unfulfilled—or so the company claims.

BP's fear-mongering is directed at the House-passed spill bill (officially known as the CLEAR Act), which would bar companies who repeatedly violate safety and environmental regulations from obtaining new leases to drill in US waters. If the CLEAR Act becomes law, BP is unlikely to get any new leases in the near future. . .

BP's behavior is riling a few in Congress. On Monday, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) accused the company of "openly blackmailing the American government." The company, he said in a statement, "should be held responsible not just for the damage it caused, but for its consistently indifferent attitude to that damage."

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) took to Twitter for his criticism: "BP threat to not pay damages if CLEAR Act is approved should be repudiated. Bill brings accountability & reforms to the leasing process."


OK, let me reset the Gulf oil disaster for you. I still think that the well was either purposely blown up by BP or that they chose a sub-standard design knowing that it would blow out, in order for the political pressure created by the oil spill to allow the criminal syndicate of Soetoro, Pelosi and Reid to get the carbon tax that BP wrote through Congress and signed into law. Even if you think, as most do, that the disaster was as a result of a string of accidents, the result is the same.

But BP did not get their carbon tax, as the popularity of Soetorobama and the Demoncats fell at a clip that stunned even seasoned D.C. pundits. So they put on the show of capping one well and pretending that no more oil and gas is leaking into Gulf waters. Except that it is, and that we don't even know the status of the other well the company claims they never built, but which I and others have caught on camera spewing oil and methane. Their gamble failed, in other words. BP figured that the probability of getting the carbon tax they wrote passed into law would outweigh the penalties and fines and damages from lawsuits that they would be responsible for. A few tens of billions in payouts to the government and victims of the oil spill pales in comparison to the amount of contracts BP would have gotten for their green energy programs.

But their gambit fell flat, the company's reputation is in ruins and Congress, in a rare act I agree with, is moving to pass new legislation denying new drilling permits to companies with sub-par safety records, i.e. BP. So this verminous, criminal company, which has already done so much damage to the economy, wildlife and people of the Gulf of Mexico, is doing what thugs often resort to when not getting their way. They are blackmailing the government, or attempting to, anyway. BP are claiming that they will not be able to pay all the compensation to victims of the oil disaster unless the government allows them to continue to explore and develop oil wells in the Gulf.

They are saying that unless Congress drops this proposed law, they will not pay out what they are going to be responsible for, once all the government investigations are over, and once the lawsuits brought by individuals and companies in the Gulf states start filtering through the court system. Whether this is blackmail in a technical, legal sense I doubt. But BP are clearly sending a message to the House, Senate, Soetorobama administration (not that they've been any threat) and the American people -- back off, leave us alone, let us drill even more in the future, or we'll stick you with the cost of the cleanup and compensation. De facto blackmail.

I have no idea what the legality of the U.S. government seizing BP would be. I don't agree with the nationalization of industry, as Soetoro did with Chrysler and G.M., and I don't think the government should take permanent control over BP. What I think should be done is for the government to temporarily seize the company, place it under the management of a group of oil experts drawn from other companies around the world, and operate it in receivership until such time as sufficient profits can be siphoned from the company to pay off everything it is responsible for.

The oil disaster is a national emergency and under the executive orders signed by the evil George W. Bush, the government can exercise virtually unlimited power when a national emergency is declared. I'm sure that Barry's teams of lawyers and hiss egghead Czars could figure out some way to legally take over BP and operate it using an independent board of overseers until its obligations are met. Then, when they have paid up in full, BP can be free to operate as it was before. Except I do believe the Congress should go ahead and pass their bill, effectively kicking BP out of the United States once their current wells dry up. No new wells for them. They have treated America and Americans with contempt and disdain. This blackmail is merely the latest insult.

FLOTUS and Jetsam

Carla Bruni: Michelle Obama's Life is "Hell"

Michelle Obama thinks being America’s First Lady is ‘hell’, Carla Bruni reveals today in a wildly indiscreet new book.

Miss Bruni reveals that Mrs Obama replied when asked about her position as the U.S. president’s wife: ‘Don’t ask! It’s hell. I can’t stand it!’


The Secret Service has acronyms for those under their protection -- the President of the United States is POTUS, though I would argue that they should re-term Barry Soetoro PUTZ. His lovely wife is FLOTUS, for First Lady of the United States. Except now, evidently she is having winner's remorse. Michelle "can't stand" the massive strain of being the First Lady anymore. All the vacations and the stress caused by her appearances to tell people what they should not eat have taken a toll on the poor woman.

I feel so sorry for her. It must be terrible to be the wife of an alleged illegal alien who was swept into the White House by Middle Eastern money, an idiot American electorate and the sycophantic, corporate-controlled media, and then be asked to give so much of herself. We should all feel sorry for poor Mrs. Obama, or Mrs. Soetoro, or whatever her proper legal name is.

She has to do so much work, and the fact that she has to perform all of her duties as FLOTUS leaves her so little time to enjoy the little things in life. Sure, she has her garden and moved her mother in with the family and redecorated the interior of her Red House to hers and Barry's bad taste, but such fun things are too few and far between. We should all be grateful that Michelle used something on the order of half a million dollars to fly her friends to Spain and stimulate the Spanish economy. Because this helped, if only for a very short while, to relieve the unfair and tremendous pressure she is under.

This woman is shameful. She has been given the chance of a lifetime to make a difference for the American people on whatever issues she cares about. She eats the best food, has the best medical care and security of anyone in the world, along with her daughters and husband, she flies around the world and appears on the national news every time she speaks... But still this is not enough for Mrs. Soetorobama. America still owes her and Barack more. We ordinary Americans are still asking too much, taking too much from her, sapping her lifeforce like some kind of evil, vampiric monsters. If she only knew how terrible life as the First Lady would be, she never would have let Barry run.

In one sense I can genuinely empathize, even though overall I find her feelings painfully arrogant and selfish -- she probably never thought that her husband stood any sort of chance at becoming president. At best Michelle probably thought that Barry's run would be a great chance to rile up the "African-American" community, because after losing to Hillary or one of the other freedom-hating but white Democrats, the two of them could line up with Hijackson and Sharktongue and scream about the racism of Americans. The Soetorobamas were probably as surprised as anyone when, one by one, the ancillary candidates dropped out, leaving only Hillary versus "Obama."

And then when Hillary conceded the nomination to her husband, after the bizarre, secret meeting in which it was decided that she would drop out in return for funds to cover her campaign expenses and the position as Secretary of State, should "Obama" win, Michelle's heart must have sunk. But not to worry, because John McShame was still in the lead for the general election. Then the economy started to collapse, Barry started closing the gap because of his slick appearances and debate performances, and all of sudden her heart must have sunk when she saw the first polling indicating that McCain might lose out.

How terrible it must have felt for Michelle to go through those awful months before the election, wondering whether her worst nightmare of actually being forced to live in the White House for four or eight years would materialize. And on that awful day in November 2008 when the returns came in... I can't imagine the poor woman's pain and anguish. And we selfish Americans have been forcing her to perform all of her duties as First Lady ever since then. Oh, the agony. Michelle must feel like she was transported back to the 1830s and is being forced to work as a slave on a plantation. We should all thank her for all of the toil she endures -- she thanklessly slaves away every day, flying here and there, speaking to this group and that, eating this flavor of ice cream and the other, just like a 21st century Mother Teresa.

Poor FLOTUS must feel like flotsam, one definition of which is "miscellaneous or unimportant material." That's what we evil slave masters, the American people, think of her, surely. Michelle works so very hard for us but we do not appreciate her. We just crack the whip and make her take another vacation or hold another dance party in the Red House. We should be ashamed of ourselves for demanding so much from the poor woman. And her husband must feel like jetsam, material purposely discarded from a vessel to lighten it -- "Barack Obama" has been tossed aside by most of the Democrats running tight races. They don't want to feature him in their own campaign appearances, and they will not even admit for having voted for his wonderful legislation like the health scare deform bill or the bankster bailouts.

It takes a special kind of woman to endure all the abuse that Michelle does as First Lady. One day, the evil population of this country will realize how racist we are, what a burden we placed on her, her husband and their innocent children by electing Barry as president. And then we will issue an official apology for putting her under all the stress we have. How the brave lady keeps going I will never know. Bravo, Michelle!

Playing Doctor

Eqyptian Paper Caught Doctoring Photo of Middle East Peace Talks

This just goes to show that you must never take everything that appears in a "trusted" news source at face value. Newspapers, magazines and web sites often use Photoshop and similar programs to "enhance" images, often altering the lighting or color balance to make someone they support appear more attractive and those they oppose to look more evil or less healthy, but this goes beyond the trivial. This fake photo actually attempts to alter the physical facts of the scene it purported to capture. I'm glad that Drudge linked to this story -- maybe exposing such fraud will help prevent future incidents.

One Head in a Duffel Bag

Man Found Dead in L.A. Airport Terminal

A man whose head was covered in a bag and who had his hands bound was found dead Wednesday morning in a restroom at Terminal 3 at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.

Airport police were called to the bathroom shortly before 8 a.m. and found a body slumped in a stall, according to sources familiar with the case. They called Los Angeles police, who dispatched detectives with the department's robbery-homicide division to investigate.

The sources said it was not immediately clear if the death was a suicide or a homicide.


Got to love that last line -- so I guess if you're going to commit suicide by asphyxiation, you first want to make sure to tie your hands together... I know that police want to make sure they have all their facts straight before reporting a death as either a murder, an accident or a suicide, but this is ridiculous. I'm pretty sure we know what happened to this guy.

Pescicide



I wish this video had been uploaded in high-definition. At first it's difficult to know what you're looking at. It looks like some sort of gravel road, but this is a river in Plaqumines Parish, Louisiana where the entire surface of the river is covered with dead fish. Hundreds of thousands of dead fish. The official explanation: depleted oxygen levels in the water. What's really going on -- Corexit, oil and methane deplete oxygen in water. I have no clue why the media are so reluctant to say that the massive fish kills from Lousiana all the way up to New England may be a result of BP's oil disaster. They don't have to place themselves in danger of being sued by claiming that the kills definitely are because of the oil and dispersant, but they should throw the possibility out there, because that is the best explanation for these unprecedented mass die-offs.

New Wave

Fresh Black Oil Washes Ashore in Mississippi

A new wave of black oil suddenly came ashore west of the Mississippi River on Friday and Saturday, coating beaches and fouling interior marshes, according to anglers' reports. Ryan Lambert, owner of Buras-based Cajun Fishing Adventures, said about 16 miles of coastal beaches in Plaquemines Parish from Sandy Point to Chalon Pass were lined with black oil and tar balls. Meanwhile anglers returning to Lafitte told Sidney Bourgeois, of Joe's Landing, that new oil was surfacing on the eastern side of Barataria Bay in the Bay Jimmie, Bay Wilkerson and in Bay Baptiste areas.

Sedimentary

Oil from the BP spill has not been completely cleared, but miles of it is sitting at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, according to a study currently under way.

Professor Samantha Joye of the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Georgia, who is conducting a study on a research vessel just two miles from the spill zone, said the oil has not disappeared, but is on the sea floor in a layer of scum.

"We're finding it everywhere that we've looked. The oil is not gone," Joye said. "It's in places where nobody has looked for it."

All 13 of the core samples Joye and her UGA team have collected from the bottom of the gulf are showing oil from the spill, she said. . .

Joye said she spent hours studying the core samples and was unable to find anything other than bacteria and microorganisms living within.

"There is nothing living in these cores other than bacteria," she said. "I've yet to see a living shrimp, a living worm, nothing. . ."

"Nobody should be surprised," Joye said. "When you apply large scale dispersants, it goes to the bottom -- it sediments out. It gets sticky."


A layer of oil two and a half inches thick coating the ocean floor, 16 miles away from the site of BP's wells has been found. Just yesterday, an entirely new, shallower-lying plume of hydrocarbons was found by researchers, miles long and hundreds of yards wide. Nothing is living besides microbes where the oil has settled. But BP and Soetorobama say the crisis is over. Sure.

Thinner

Michelle Obama Urges Restaurants to Reduce Calorie Counts

First lady Michelle Obama is prodding the nation's restaurants to add more healthy options to menus, label those items more prominently and market nutritious foods to kids.

Speaking to the National Restaurant Association on Monday, Mrs. Obama pleaded with restaurants small and large to take a little butter or cream out of their dishes, use low fat milk and provide apple slices or carrots as a default side dish on the kids' menu.

Mrs. Obama said that Americans are spending half their food dollars outside the home and eating a third of meals in restaurants. She asked the restaurants to rethink the food they offer and reformulate their menus to help combat childhood obesity.


It seems that Michelle Soetorobama believes that the greatest danger to the national security of this country is childhood obesity. That's about all we've heard out of her since she and her husband moved into their Red House. I find it ironic that she is chiding restaurants for serving fatty foods and asking them to use less butter and cream in their recipes when she is seen on the nightly news slurping down ice cream cones during every vacation they take. And I don't think she should be complaining that Americans spend half of their food dollars to eat out, not after her half million dollar vacation with dozens of friends to Spain.

Mrs. "Obama" is just as irritating as is Barry, only luckily she has no power. It seems like she purposely says things like this while not practicing what she preaches in order to thumb her nose at the people. It's a constant let-them-eat-cake from the imperial president and his wife. I believe the pair will be much less smug 50 days from now when the election results come in. I don't care what Michelle eats, but if she's going to insist that children not eat high-calorie foods while living on the Häagen-Dazs® diet, she should at least have the decency to consume her ice cream in private, away from the news cameras.

Banned in Britain

U.K. Teen Banned for Life From USA Over Obama Insult

A BRIT teen who sent an email to the White House calling President Obama a "p***k" has been banned from America FOR LIFE.

The furious FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, his drunken insult was "unacceptable". Luke yesterday admitted he fired off a single email criticising the US Government after seeing a TV programme about 9/11.

He said: "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."


Michael Savage was banned in Britain because of his outspoken and frank commentary. Now a 17-year-old from England has been told by the FBI that he will never be allowed to travel to America because he sent an email to the White House evidently calling "Obama" a "prick."

I don't disagree with that analysis, but I would like to add that Barry Soetorobama is a fascist with socialist leanings, a sociopath, a narcissist, an agent of the ruling globalist elites, and most likely a criminal illegal alien. Or can I not write that in our new Amerika? We are entering a very dangerous time when free speech is being openly challenged by our rogue government. Obviously a British teenager does enjoy First Amendment rights under our Bill of Rights, but for the feds to ban him for life for a single, drunken email is frightening.

The government lets millions of criminal illegal aliens across our border. They allow al-CIAda and Hizbollah agents to roam freely within our country. But they are all too quick to go after those who dare to speak out against the puppet Barry Soetoro and his policies, his attitudes and his behavior. If he has his way, it won't be too long before the Internet as we know it is shut down, everyone is forced onto Internet 2.0 and their speech monitored. That's when the government will start opening the FEMA camps they say do not exist.
