Notice Filed Hollister v Soetoro I. JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT A. The Basis for the District Court’s Subject Matter Jurisdiction The District Court had jurisdiction pursuant to the Federal Interpleader Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1335. Alternatively Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 22 and diversity under 28 U.S.C. § 1332 existed. In addition, in a proposed amended complaint the plaintiff Hollister asserted jurisdiction also for a direct violation of the constitutional requirement in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 concerning the eligibility of an individual to be President of the United States if he is not, as is there stated, a “natural born...

Barack Obama left his 2.6 million fans on Twitter, the social networking website, bemused, disappointed and mildly irritated by admitting on Monday that he had never used the service himself. "Let me say that I have never used Twitter," he told students in Shanghai. "I noticed that young people are very busy with these electronics. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone." During his election campaign, Mr Obama portrayed himself as "connected" to the people through Twitter and his ever-present blackberry phone. Some of his more understanding fans asked if it was any real surprise...

Don't buy the claim that the Sen ate health-care bill is substantially more moderate than the House measure. While Speaker Nancy Pelosi's legislation is even more onerous than the package created by Sen. Max Baucus and now championed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the larger story is how similar the two Democratic bills are. First, we need to get past the misleading accounting games. Each bill is routinely "scored" for its 10-year costs from 2010-19. Yet this includes several years when the spending wouldn't yet have kicked in. According to the Congressional Budget Office, fully 99.9 percent of the...

When Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, the forward assault troops were ordered to attack and take control of the local police station as a first priority. Poland had a very liberal version of the 2nd Amendment (fashioned after the US Constitution) but the citizens who owned handguns and long guns were required to register their names, addresses and list of weapons with the local police station. So the problem for the German army was pretty well solved by the registration process. YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN HERE! WELL, HERE IT COMES!!! Gun control by secrecy! If you...

The AARP Bulletin (September 2009) has a front-page headline on Obamacare: “The Hype, the Lies, the Facts: How to Tune Out the Fear-mongering and Misinformation and Make Sense of the Health Care Reform.” I’d add only one amendment to that AARP headline: “If you want to avoid the hype, the lies, and get the facts on Obamacare, don’t read the biased one-sided propaganda that AARP publishes in its Bulletin.” The article is supposed to answer the question of AARP readers, “How do I know what to believe?” Anyone who reads the article critically or studies AARP history on this matter,...

Obama’s master plan As part of his strategic plan, Barack Obama has been surrounding himself with czars and officers that are responsible only to him. One such a czar is Obama’s FCC Chief Diversity Officer, Mark Lloyd, who is a former senior fellow at George Soros’s Center for American Progress and a consultant to Soros’s Open Society Institute. Mark Lloyd is a believer that the same methods used in the Venezuela revolution to bring Hugo Chavez to power should be modeled in the US and that the first amendment (Freedom of Speech) should not be used to prevent localism.

"Obama, Son of Islam" rising over the American flag, the greatest symbol of The West?

Here is amazing audio of President Barack Obama taking the mantle of the nation's preacher by accusing critics of his Government Health Care Plan of "bearing false witness," and insinuating that adoption of his plan is the only way to "be our brother's keeper," meeting moral and ethical obligations to "look out for each other." Obama made the statements to a group of liberal religious leaders in a conference call today. How ironic is it that Obama would preach about being "our brother's keeper" by passing his Health Care Plan, when the plan itself will result in an expansion of...

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama Wednesday said America, as the world's richest nation, had a moral duty to offer health care to everyone, in a fresh bid to bolster support for his top domestic priority. Obama addressed thousands of people in a call with left-leaning religious faith leaders, as the White House tried to still disquiet among liberals, and fierce opposition among Republicans, to his under-fire health care plan. "The one thing you all share, is a moral conviction, you know, that this debate over health care goes to the heart of who we are as a people," said Obama....

We must never again allow our leaders to have unaccountable trust! EVER! People are corruptible! We must always question and watch very closely everything they do! Our Freedom, Our beloved Constitution, Our National Sovereignty, “We the People” and the fact that we are a Constitutional Republic is why the United States of America is the Greatest Nation in the World! Any bad truths about our Country are the slow results of the corruptible human nature of a few individuals! Power and wealth can corrupt a person if not kept in check! After we fix our current problems, and we will,...

These last weeks have witnessed a breach in the media firewall surrounding Barack Obama, first from CNN’s Lou Dobbs, then from “Obama’s favorite blogger,” Andrew O’Sullivan, and finally from Andrew McCarthy in National Review Online. Ironically, the respectable conservative media like National Review have done a more zealous job manning the firewall than the mainstream media, but that is a story for another day. “Show the documents. Get it done,” said Dobbs. “Obama promised total transparency. Where is it?” a surprisingly ornery O’Sullivan asked in regards to the birth certificate controversy. McCarthy criticized his own editors in his demand for...

Why Aren’t Americans Allowed To Know What Foreign Passports Were Issued To President Obama? Has Obama ever held a UK, Kenyan or Indonesian passport? Specifically, the issue of whether Obama held a UK passport is absolutely relevant to determine whether he is currently a British citizen. (I will be publishing comprehensive research on this issue soon.) What passport did Obama travel to Indonesia with at the age of 6 years old? Even if you believe Obama is eligible to be President, the question of what passports he held and what nations he was a citizen of should be of paramount...

I was reading the Chron’s piece about Sheila Jackson Lee’s town hall, when something caught my eye: One supporter, Dr. Roxana Mayer, a physician who does not live in Jackson Lee’s district, praised the reform plan for overhauling a broken system. “I don’t know what there is in the bill that creates such panic,” she said. In this video, Mayer claims to be a general practitioner, eliciting applause and even a hug from Queen Sheila: I’m not sure why, but something didn’t smell right. So my colleagues and I did a little digging, and wouldn’t you know it? Roxana Mayer...

“We the People” need to keep a real close eye on all our government “public servant” employees. We set up our government to serve “We the People” and we no longer want any secrets about our money. Does our government think that “We the People” are now here to serve them? Are they out of their minds? “We The People” no longer want any misguided governmental arrogance directed at us! Some of our leaders today have acquired a very “twisted” view of their roles. Do they understand that The Constitution of the United States was written with a spirit of...

My Weekly Date with a Liberal - ‘Emotional Redistribution’ by Jon David The article will begin shortly. Thank you for your patience.  Let’s begin.Although facebook has been the gift that keeps on giving in terms of confirming whether or not a prospective date is or is not a liberal, for this installment I thought I’d put my instincts to the test by participating in the very underrated process of “stereotyping.”I think, and rightfully so, that many Americans feel that Los Angeles is a place bankrupt of spirituality…not to mention just plain bankrupt. However, there is a spiritual movement among Angelinos...

Although my thoughts may be a little unorthodox; sometimes when the economy, the government, and the market are working in an unknown manner unorthodox thinking is all that makes sense...Conspiracy? Lies? Deception? Over the past couple of weeks more and more people are beginning to believe the great recession has ended. I have been considering this and trying to decide whether or not the current market run up is just a strong bear market rally or something more. Like all bears, over the last couple of weeks I have been squeezed in my trading (as well as in my thinking)...

The papacy is among the most misunderstood and therefore wrongly hated institutions in all the world, much like the Catholic Church. I typically cringe when a Protestant pastor or leader decides to step up and call out or denounce the Pope for no good reason, simply on Protestant principal, objecting to the office as they do more so than the man himself, or any sin on his part. Certainly the man who holds the office is not beyond sin, or legitimate criticism, but the criticisms of modern day Popes tend not to be made on the basis of his personal...

"“It has been widely reported today that I have stated that the recession will be over 'this year' and that I have 'improved' my economic outlook. Despite those reports - however – my views expressed today are no different than the views I have expressed previously. If anything my views were taken out of context. “I have said on numerous occasions that the recession would last roughly 24 months. Therefore, we are 19 months into that recession. If, as I predicted, the recession is over by the end of the year, it will have lasted 24 months with a recovery...

I think we should support these guys; Welcome them to the "tea party" coalition: they're the kind of friends we need (even though some, just like the PUMAs do not believe everything we do--we can work on that through friendships;)- debating the issues:).

The letter signed by seven members of the House Intelligence Committee is at once blatant lobbying for an amendment that would expand Congressional access to classified intelligence and a potent example of its dangers. When the majority of Democrats on the most sensitive committee in Congress are disposed to leak a briefing in order to stigmatize the CIA, it is a harbinger of more dangerous leaks to come. Should the amendment pass, among those with access to state secrets are a congressman who went on a high-profile propaganda trip arranged by Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi Intelligence Service, a former federal judge...

DO NOT BE TAKEN IN BY THIS LIBERAL FALSE FLAG OPERATION The "Born Again American" campaign, despite a really nice song...and most of the words to it...is a ruse and a false flag operation. I was emailed their site by a conservative friend who had received it from someone else. I watched the video of the song. A really nice tune, and most of the lyrics...but I was taken back by one phrase in the chorus. Instead of saying "My Country tis of Thee," they used the term, "My Country tios of Me." This bothered me and caused me to...

I was watching Richard Bushman on DVD speak at some conference or other, the DVD — bought at alas, a remaindered discount at Seagull — doesn’t say where the conference was, or maybe I missed that information. In any event, Bushman is a valuable resource to learning about Mormon history. He reminds us that history demands a catholic interpretation. When learning about Joseph Smith, for example, it’s just as important to learn what his critics thought of him as it is to learn what his most devoted adherents thought. And, it’s important to see all sides of an historical figure...

Americans no longer trust the free press to be their eyes and ears The American Press Mainstream Treachery Honest unbiased reporting in the American news room has been so absent for so long that most Americans now seek information elsewhere. Americans no longer trust the free press to be their eyes and ears, to keep them abreast of the facts needed to make intelligent decisions about daily life or politics. Sadly, at this moment in history, even Russia has a more reliable free press than America. If Americans don’t read foreign news sources, they have no clue what is going...

Top officials at the California Air Resources Board knew that the lead scientist on a study justifying sweeping new regulations on diesel emissions from heavy-duty trucks had lied about his academic background before adopting the rules on Dec. 12, according to an official document provided by the air board. The document is a 12-page "Notice of Adverse Action" to air board scientist Hien T. Tran, who was demoted and given a 60-day unpaid suspension for lying about having a Ph.D. in statistics from the University of California, Davis. The finding of facts in the notice include a timeline of when...

How much responsibility, if any, do you have for the financial crisis? That's the simple question that a college student dare asked Congressman Barney Frank. That simple question unleashed a torrent of abuse directed at the student,the Republicans and the banks from Frank that can only be described as political claptrap. But then again that's how Liberal Democrats roll!

A LAW ordering the Food and Drug Ad ministration to regu late cigarettes is moving through Congress -- but is it truly good for public health? Hint: Cigarette maker Altria (formerly Philip Morris) is one of the bill's strongest supporters. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.) has already gotten the measure passed in the House; Sen. Ted Kennedy is on track to get it through the Senate soon. The bill would give the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco -- but in the process, it gives cigarettes a virtual government stamp of approval, while impeding consumers' access to less-harmful alternative forms of tobacco....

Christians and Muslims have been kept apart for over 1,300 years, because they were taught that irreconcilable differences exist between their religious beliefs. This has resulted in mutual distrust, persecution, and even wars. I was motivated to read the Qur’an by the events of September 11th, 2001. I wanted to know the teachings in the Qur’an that could convince Muslims to be willing to sacrifice their lives, in order to kill persons who did not appear to be associated with Islam or their conflict. My Christian tradition was the source of some anxiety, since I had been taught that “the...

http://www.notoriouslyconservative.com/2009/03/obama-deception-full-length-film-video.html The Obama Deception is a hard-hitting film that completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery. We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Orders plans. Its not about Left or Right: its about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into...

WASHINGTON -- Forget the pork. Forget the waste. Forget the 8,570 earmarks in a bill supported by a president who poses as the scourge of earmarks. Forget the "$2 trillion dollars in savings" that "we have already identified," $1.6 trillion of which President Obama's budget director later admits is the "savings" of not continuing the surge in Iraq until 2019 -- 11 years after George Bush ended it, and eight years after even Bush would have had us out of Iraq completely. Forget all of this. This is run-of-the-mill budget trickery. True, Obama's tricks come festooned with strings of zeros...

True, Obama's tricks come festooned with strings of zeros tacked onto the end. But that's a matter of scale, not principle. All presidents do that. But few undertake the kind of brazen deception at the heart of Obama's radically transformative economic plan, a rhetorical sleight of hand so smoothly offered that few noticed.

You may not know it if you read only the mainstream media, but even The Associated Press put out a story headlined “Analysis: Democrats self-destructing over ethics.” I’d change that headline to read “Democrats self-destructing over ethics and criminality.” The Democratic Party of retreat and defeat, anti-military and anti-family values, is rapidly becoming the party of tax cheats, of the corrupt and of the ethically challenge. When the head of the IRS is an admitted tax cheat, you’ve got to admit the party is self-destructing. Who has done all the talking about the culture of corruption? Rep. Nancy “San Francisco...

Today, Lucifer (i.e.,Satan) and his Satanic "Spin Machine" are well oiled and more powerful then ever. The Media outlets at his disposal greatly abound. From the Internet to TV and Radio Networks, from Hollywood to the Music Industry, from College Campuses to the Federal Courthouses to the Supreme Courts, and from Cultural Ideologies to the Fashion World. With this powerful arsenal at his disposal he has the might and authority to sway public opinion and multitudes "24/7" and at a moments notice. Never in the history of mankind has this Fallen Cherub been so powerful.

If you want to push through the Democrat Party’s social agenda during a time of economic crisis, you attach it to a so-called “stimulus” package, and voila, you have what conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer calls an “abomination.” David Patten reporting in Newsmax.com on February 14th states that the “gargantuan” bill will actually cost closer to $3.27 trillion, including interest and increased spending many expanded Democrat programs (read pork) will create in the next decade. Here’s some of the pork: Three billion dollars in “neighborhood stabilization;” One point three billion dollars to bail out AMTRAK; that’s throwing bad money after bad:...

In covering the hearing of the nine bank chief executives on Capitol Hill, it didn’t take long for me to see that Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf was having a hard time of it, valiant effort though he did make to defend his bank’s lending practices. Because to look inside Wells Fargo, you will find the worst of the mortgage lenders housed in this bank, Wachovia, which Wells Fargo bought last fall for $15.4 bn, and housed within Wachovia is Golden West Financial, which Wachovia bought for a stupefying $25 bn, Golden West, the purveyor of some of the worst...

President Obama addressed the National Prayer Breakfast this morning and used the opportunity to discuss the launch of the White House office of faith-based and neighboring partnerships. Obama stressed the inclusion of secular groups into his faith-based office by giving examples of his own life story. Could this office be a conduit for further government funded community organizing? The transcript of video highlights is below. This is not only our call as people of faith but our duty as citizens of America and our duty as citizens of the world. And it will be the purpose of the White House...

President Obama will unveil a revamped office of Faith-Based Initiatives Thursday, and a new approach to the controversial program established by former President George Bush. The office, tasked with steering federal funds to charitable organizations tied to churches and faith-based organizations, will be headed by Josh DuBois – a 26 year-old Pentecostal minister who was in charge of religious outreach for the Obama campaign. According to a White House official, the basic structure of the office will remain the same as it was under Bush, but Obama is introducing a new component: an advisory council of 25 leaders — secular...

Today our nation and the world in which we live in are looking more and more for a “savior-messiah” to deliver us from the many crises that engulf our present world. When the masses are fearful and uncertain, that is when they are the most open to deception and most susceptible to relinquishing their personal freedoms to anyone who promises deliverance from their dire situations. History has testified to this countless times. The Lord Jesus Christ knew this and gave countless warnings to his own and to the world. Be not deceived! (Matt 24:4; Luke 21:8; Mark 13:5-6; 2 Thess....

It's the story every American needs to read! Barack Obama is hiding eight shocking secrets that could destroy his presidency before it even gets off the ground, political insiders say. In a blockbuster Special Report, insiders rip the lid off the scandals about where Obama was REALLY born, his sex life, drug abuse and the mysterious past he's hiding from the world. The new President has artfully dodged some of the most serious questions ever posed to a Commander-in-Chief. But top political leaders are demanding answers NOW - and the mounting pressure could trigger a firestorm that will bring down...

Perhaps you've noticed an abundance of "Top Ten" lists in recent weeks. As usual, the mainstream media has churned out a variety of year-in-review pieces of late. Two events vied for top billing on all those lists -- the financial meltdown and the presidential election. At present, it isn't clear which of those debacles presents the greater threat to our nation. The factors leading up to the economic collapse in the last two quarters are clear (see Economics 101). What is not clear, however, is whether we can limit the damage to a mere recession. On the other hand, we...

A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thoughts to his steps. Proverbs 14:13 Throughout the New Testament, God states that in the End Times many people would be deceived. In fact, in the Book of Revelation, the characteristic that marks Satan time and again is deception. He deceives over and over. So, too, in the lives we live we can become deceived by preachers who simple want to "tickle our ears." Sometimes that comes in the form of "you can be wealthy in Jesus, just name it and claim it." Other times it's more deceitful and you...

Obama’s Failure To Prove His Alleged USA Birth Posted by papundits on 01/01/2009 http://papundits.wordpress.com/2009/01/01/obamas-failure-to-prove-his-alleged-usa-birth/ By Forseti Mr. Obama claims that he was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. As his only evidence that he meets the Article II, Section 1, Clause 4 of the U.S. Constitution’s requirement that a President be a natural born citizen, he produced a document called a “Certification of Live Birth,” which he posted on his website under the title: “Barack Obama’s Official Birth Certificate.” At first blush, it is case closed. A closer examination of the facts, however, reveals that Mr. Obama failed to...

Mike Massie got his first shotgun at the age of 10. Guns have been in Massie’s life since he was 5 years old and trudging along beside his father carrying an unloaded shotgun. His children know how to handle weapons; he even purchased his nephew’s first shotgun when the boy was just one month old. That’s why the Lynchburg resident is worried about what will happen to gun-control laws when President-elect Barack Obama takes office next month. “I feel that I have the right to bear arms legally to defend myself, my family and my property,” Massie said. “I don’t...
