We have been reporting on the massive blow Barack Obama has done to our national security, and how his hostile take over of Sarah Palins gasline project is an attempt to either take credit for this project as his own, or to simply shut it down.
We are busily researching all of the ins and outs, and the relationships between Obamas new Pipeline Czar Larry Persily, and members of the Corrupt Bastards Club in Alaska. So there will be a lot more to come on this.
For now, Sarah Palin is speaking out against yet another evil Barack Obama is visiting upon the American people and the American economy. If you notice, one of the first things Sarah talks about is the deal Obama made with Brazil.
Last year, a mere three days after Obamas puppet master, and self proclaimed owner of the democrat party, George Soros, bought controlling interest in Brazilian oil giant, Petrobas, our President loaned Brazil $10 BILLION American tax payer dollars. Chicago thug politics at its finest.
Now, in what can only be seen as a way to help out his master, Barack Obama has banned all off shore drilling in America. This is beyond evil, but really par for the course from the most corrupt man to ever step foot in the White House.
Lets let Sarah tell us whats on her mind:
Nonstop D.C. Nonsense: Drilling Down on Energy Doublespeak
It may be tempting to feel worn down as we take one step after another towards the fundamental transformation of America that Barack Obama promised. But we mustnt let our energy be sapped, even in the face of the mind-boggling leap the Obama Administration just took that fundamentally shifts us towards more reliance on foreign energy sources. Hang on to your hat and take a look at this.
Months ago I discussed Washingtons decision to allow U.S. dollars to flow to Brazil for that nations off-shore oil drilling projects, while D.C.s attitude towards Americas own offshore developments appeared less-than-enthusiastic. We gained hope though when our President promised in his State of the Union address that hed be making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. Most of us optimistically assumed that making tough decisions meant allowing at least some offshore drilling. In fact, on national television that night I said that the President deserved kudos for acknowledging our need for domestic energy development in his speech.
Turns out that was just more drilling doublespeak: America has been snookered again.
While everyone has been focused on Obamacare, the Obama administration took advantage of Americas distraction and quietly said that its planning to place a hold on offshore drilling on the outer continental shelf until at least 2012.
At a time when our country is desperate for job growth, deficit reduction, and energy independence, its simply astonishing that the administration refuses to allow additional offshore drilling, even while supporting energy development in foreign countries.
According to a study by the American Energy Alliance, opening the OCS to drilling could create as many as 1.2 million new jobs and add hundreds of billions of dollars annually to the US economy. Those are real American jobs and great American opportunities that cant be outsourced. Offshore drilling would provide billions in revenue for our states, allowing them to reduce their budget deficits without raising taxes. It would help reduce our trade deficit, which spikes with each rise in the price of oil because were so reliant on foreign sources of energy. And because we have some of the best environmental standards in the world, we should be drilling for our own oil instead of buying it from countries with less stringent standards.
When the Obama Administration first delayed offshore leasing on the OCS to allow for an extended public comment period, the comments it received reflected what all the polling tells us that Americans overwhelmingly support offshore drilling. (Curiously, those pro-drilling findings werent heavily publicized by the Administration and the press.) Americans understand that a true all-of-the-above approach to energy independence must include responsible development of our conventional resources. Even as we develop alternative energy sources, well still rely on oil and gas for decades to come. If we dont drill for it here, then well just have to keep buying it from others.
Using executive power to lock up energy resources ignores the will of the American people who want to develop those resources and know that we can do so in an environmentally responsible manner.
Ignoring the American people is never good politics, but whether its energy independence or health care, our leadership in Washington is tone deaf to the commonsense solutions that Americans want.
Watching this potentially earth-shattering energy policy decision made quietly while health care transformation distracts us, it makes one wonder what else our politicians are up to. An old trick is to intentionally consume attention with a crisis so as to sap the publics energy, and then to conveniently push through rash measures that would receive great scrutiny at any another time. Remember Rahm Emanuels Saul Alinsky-style of political operation: You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.
America, we must resolve to stay engaged in what our politicians are doing. Dont get tired and give up. All political power is inherent in the people. America can only be transformed into something unrecognizable if we get so tired that we give up our political power and close our eyes to what is going on. Find the energy to stand for what you know is right, including supporting leaders who dont engage in energy policy doublespeak.

Obviously, this is outrageous. But, it may be the only transparent thing Barack Obama has ever done. This is a transparent attempt by Obama to further enrich his master, George Soros, by making sure that American oil companies, and the American people themselves, cannot benefit from the God given natural resources we have off our own shores. By banning American exploration, this guarantees that Soros company, Petrobas, has a market for its oil, unaffected by the vast amounts of oil and natural gas reserves here.
If this isnt corruption of the highest level, Im not sure what is. In fact, with millions out of work, and nearly a trillion dollars a year sent overseas for oil, when we have plenty right here, this is more than just good old Chicago style corruption, this is bordering on treason.
There is absolutely no good reason for Obama to ban offshore drilling in America, other than to put more money in George Soros pocket, a pocket that already has $10 billion of your dollars in it.
With all of the unconstitutional activity Obama is pushing in regard to ObamaCare, and now this, isnt it time we demand either his resignation, or impeachment?
Obama is demonstrably corrupt. We, the American people, should not have to wait for 2012 to be rid of him and his corrupt ways. It is time for this man, and the Chicago corruption he has visited on our nation, to go.
We wont be snookered again!
Our Country will not survive another two years of this Jackass.
Barry is using tax dollars to launder money through Soros and then back into his 2012 re-election campaign. Sounds highly illegal.
So who is Soro’s master? Rothchild that’s who.
despicable.
Well it’s about dang time someone brought this out of the cover of darkness!! Soros is out to kill this country, and he more than anyone else is pulling the strings of this white house and congress.
Given corruption, one supposes that Soros acted on insider information that Obama would halt OCS drilling, allowing Petroba share values to rise.
But that would require a witness or a door opening a warrant to investigation. As Obama controls the DOJ and the SEC, there will be no investigation unless someone comes forward with solid evidence.
So I think it won’t happen. If a conservative president gets in office or an administration that can play hard ball, we can hope a trap can be set for Soros and his hedge funds of such madgnitude that it will bring him down completely and land him in prison for the remainder of his life.
And I say put him away not because of his slimy character and progressive statist politics, but because of tell-tale signs of his acting on insider information as this appears here. IOW he is highly highly likely to be a cheater and he should be caught, tried and convicted of the same.
the list
Bring them to justice.
All the liberal pukes that voted for this creep should have to walk. They shouldn’t be allowed to use any oil.

No one is doing half the job of Sarah to keep us hopeful & motivated. This is real leadership.
Bump.....

Too bad its not considered newsworthy. This is the first I hear of this outrage.
Martha Stewart went to jail for acting on insider information, didn't she ?
Yess she did but there was evidence in phone conversations against her. The Feds were monitoring her broker on a tip and happened to catch her acting on his inside information.
Soros is luckier because he now has a President that will cover for him unless an investigator has solid evidence and can somehow get Obama to act on it. Not much chance of that.
What is needed it a conservative congress and a conservative president to set up sting operations on Soros and a group similar.
Another Trason count.
Whoops, that’s Treason. So angry, I tiped it wrong.
