EXCLUSIVE:HOUSE GOP LEADERS TRICK 216 HOUSE REPUBLICANS INTO ACCIDENTALLY SUPPORTING OBAMA'S EXECUTI
BREITBART ^ | 7 December 2014 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/07/2014 4:45:15 PM PST by gwgn02

In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy—and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama’s executive amnesty. What’s more is that a series of interviews and recent developments indicate that Boehner’s gambit here is placing several of his top lieutenants—including at least two committee chairmen—at political risk of serious primary challenges just a few months after newly elected Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA) beat now former House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) in a Republican primary. Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for when 219 members—216 of which were Republicans—approved a measure, H.R. 5759, first put forward by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL), but subsequently dramatically altered by leadership officials in the Rules Committee process.

Not true.

You have bought into the fallacy that you have to vote for a liberal republican to keep the Democrats out.

There are conservative republicans and other conservatives that can be voted for.

But voting for a liberal republican is voting for a liberal.

Boehner has not only betrayed the trust of his party's voters nationwide, he has betrayed the trust of those he purports to lead.

I think it was Rush last week that said Republicans need to man-up. I believe even a woman can man-up. Margaret Thatcher proved that as have several US women in the last half century.

I don't think Boehner is capable of that. To call him a semi-vir is a complete insult to all half men out there. Boehner is so pathetic he is beyond description. I read a rumor he is kind of a drunk. I don't know about that, but it would explain a great deal.

If I had to look in the mirror and realize the guy looking back is perfectly incapable of any movement that requires a spine, I doubt I would ever draw a sober breath.

Is there no DAVID who can slay Goliath? Are there no more honest persons left, one who has the nerve to take them on?

Are there no more Mr. Smiths left? Were there ever may be a better question. They all seem to sell their SOULS when they get there, and have no regret in doing so.

I would hate to be them and have to answer before GOD for what they and are doing, horrible position to be in.

No doubt GOD will have His say. Congress takes this oath

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Last time I checked the Constitution of The United States was not considered as being a corporate power, a trade power, nor an individual donors personal gain, from any of above mentioned. Some it seems are Liars and I would say even perjurers.

Boehner is very capable of plenty that's the problem. Remember the Contract With America that Newt pushed through? What happened? John Boehner happened. Boehner was the mastermind behind the 1996 GOP-E takeover of the party and ousting of Newt as Speaker. Yes his shenanigans in congress go back that far.

Wiki search the name Bill Paxon and see what you find :>} Look up the names of the 1996 GOP Convention Keynote Speakers and see what you find :>} Paxon was Boehner's go to man to arrange a meeting to oust Newt. Paxon's wife also was in congress at the time and a keynote speaker at the 1996 convention.

Boehner is cunning and patient at what he does. No one had even heard of him till he became S.O.H. Yet look at what he did.

“They don’t know what in the hell they are doing up there.”

Afraid that’s the the gist of it right there. Lawlessness has rendered the Constitutional process nearly impossible to uphold because the corruption is so systemic, these people don’t know how to govern anymore and probably don’t care.

They’re just enjoying all the perks of being “royals”. Distracted by the idea of being there, but too selfish and ignorant to function in the jobs they were sent there to do!

There is now. Boehner in the House just used subterfuge to re-create a bill giving Obama the right to use executive amnesty for “humanitarian” reasons and passed it in the House by deceiving the other congressmen who thought it was still the original good bill. The only thing Obama needs to sign now is this bill after it’s passed by the Senate and voila, congressionally authorized executive amnesty.

There are only 234 Republicans in the House—so almost all of our Representatives voted for this.

In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon, Cong Louie Gohmert (Rep-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery. The video linked above shows Cong Gohmert on the House floor explaining why, as the bill's co-sponsor, he voted No.

Rep Gohmert is one of Congress' most astute patriots---his circumlocution is formidable. Rep Gohmert is the only lawmaker to issue a high alert as Obama announced his amnesty plans----"by law, people are in the country illegally are not permitted to work, " Gohmert said.

Eye-opening exchanges at the recent 2014 House Judiciary hearing on immigration. (Keep in mind, Obama told Americans that illegal criminals would be weeded out under his E/O).

Cong Louie Gohmert (Rep-Tx) set the trap for Obama's USCIS appointee---the oily Rodrigues. He nailed the mealy-mouthed Rodrigues to the wall.

CONG GOHMERT: WRT drug cartels paid $6,000-10,000 to "guide" the hordes over the border---"Would you, as a former prosecutor, call them criminals?," he nonchalantly asked Gonzales.

The smirking Rodrigues stepped headlong into the trap as Cong Gohmert casually hoisted him on his own petard.....making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they consort w/ the criminals, and pay the violent breed to get over the border?

========================================================

At the immigration hearing, Patriot Cong Randy Forbes stated Americans need to know if violent gang members are strolling across the border, and whether they are walking our streets. Forbes asked Obama appointee to USCIS (A DHS agency) Leon Rodrigues---whether the agency asked applicants about gang membership---and when they invariably reply no, how does the agency know whether it's true or not?

Forbes insisted on knowing "do you even ask them if they're gang members." The calculated Rodriguez would not reveal information to Republicans as he glibly responded to Democrats.

====================================================

ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES/DHS SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS-(b) ISIS TERRORISTS---(c) CONTAGIOUS ALIENS ?--

In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (REPUB--IOWA) said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

==================================================

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.

The Global Financial Pyramid Scheme By The Numbers
The Economic Collapse Blog | March 20, 2013 | Michael@TEC / FR Posted by Diana in Wisconsin

*SNIP* The following is the global financial pyramid scheme by the numbers...

-$9,283,000,000,000 - The total amount of all bank deposits in the United States. The FDIC has just 25 billion dollars in the deposit insurance fund that is supposed to “guarantee” those deposits. In other words, the ratio of total bank deposits to insurance fund money is more than 371 to 1.

-$10,012,800,000,000 - The total amount of mortgage debt in the United States. As you can see, you could take every penny out of every bank account in America and it still would not cover it.

-$10,409,500,000,000 - The M2 money supply in the United States. This is probably the most commonly used measure of the total amount of money in the U.S. economy.

-$15,094,000,000,000 - U.S. GDP. It is a measure of all economic activity in the United States for a single year.

-$16,749,269,587,407.53 - The size of the U.S. national debt. It has grown by more than 10 trillion dollars over the past ten years.

-$32,000,000,000,000 - The total amount of money that the global elite have stashed in offshore banks (that we know about).

-$50,230,844,000,000 - The total amount of government debt in the world.

-$56,280,790,000,000 - The total amount of debt (government, corporate, consumer, etc.) in the U.S. financial system.

-$61,000,000,000,000 - The combined total assets of the 50 largest banks in the world.

-$70,000,000,000,000 - The approximate size of total world GDP.

-$190,000,000,000,000 - The approximate size of the total amount of debt in the entire world. It has nearly doubled in size over the past decade.

-$212,525,587,000,000 - According to the U.S. government, this is the notional value of the derivatives that are being held by the top 25 banks in the United States. But those banks only have total assets of about 8.9 trillion dollars combined. In other words, the exposure of our largest banks to derivatives outweighs their total assets by a ratio of about 24 to 1.

-$600,000,000,000,000 to $1,500,000,000,000,000 - The estimates of the total notional value of all global derivatives generally fall within this range. At the high end of the range, the ratio of derivatives to global GDP is more than 21 to 1.

June 21, 2012-—EXCERPT—The derivatives casino itself is just a last-ditch attempt to prop up a private pyramid scheme in fractional-reserve money creation, one that has progressed over several centuries through a series of “reserves”—from gold, to Fed-created “base money,” to mortgage-backed securities, to sovereign debt ostensibly protected with derivatives.

We’ve seen that the only real guarantor in all this is the government itself, first with FDIC insurance and then with government bailouts of too-big-to-fail banks. If we the people are funding the banks, we should own them; and our national currency should be issued, not through banks at interest, but through our own sovereign government.

Unlike Greece, which is dependent on an uncooperative European Central Bank for funding, the US still has the legal power to issue its own dollars or borrow them interest-free from its own central bank. The government could buy back its bonds and refinance them at 0% interest through the Federal Reserve—which now buys them on the open market at interest like everyone else—or it could simply rip them up.

The chief obstacle to that alternative is the bugaboo of inflation, but many countries have proven that this approach need not be inflationary. Canada borrowed from its own central bank effectively interest free from 1939 to 1974, stimulating productivity without creating inflation; Australia did it from 1912 to 1923; and China has done it for decades.

The private creation of money at interest is the granddaddy of all pyramid schemes; and like all such schemes, it must eventually collapse, despite a quadrillion dollar derivatives edifice propping it up.

One thing Obama Care did was to illustrate that nobody reads anything anymore - built-in deniability as the people get screwed by those we allow to hold elected office.

The Republicans have a good propaganda machine with the hunks and babes of Fox News providing a great backdrop or is that “pushup” for drawing people in like P.T. Barnum with tough talking heads supporting a fake GOPe “conservatism” that will not reverse Obama’s policies at home and supports limited symbolic “wars” abroad in the vein of Vietnam, but with fewer casualties this time.
