Before the election, and all throughout his campaign, Barack Obama claimed that "secrecy dominated government actions in the Bush administration," and that Bush "ignored public disclosure rules by invoking the state secrets privilege more than any other previous administration to get cases thrown out of civil court."
Mr. Obama, no one, but you, knows more, and has done more, to abuse the legal system as a Presidential candidate and President-elect, to get cases regarding your Constitutional eligibility thrown out of court on technicalities, and not on their merits.
Where is the openness you promised?
Your Campaign website touted how you would not "sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days." Does that include any of your non-emergency Executive Orders, such as funding abortions in foreign countries, and closing Gitmo and other places to hold terrorists?
Mr. Obama, you promised on your website that you would "amend executive orders to ensure that communications about regulatory policymaking between persons outside government and all White House staff are disclosed to the public." To whom has the White House spoken on the outside regarding the EO's you signed this week?
What about the $875 billion "stimulus package," aka, massive political payoff? Will it always be tagged with the "emergency label" no matter how long it takes to pass?
Obama also said that he will "shed light on all earmarks by disclosing the name of the legislator who asked for each earmark, along with a written justification, 72 hours before they can be approved by the full Senate." So, when are we going to hear exactly to where this $875 billion is going?
Obama pledged on his shiny, new Change.gov websore...er, website, that he will "Open up government to its citizens, by using cutting-edge technologies to create a new level of transparency, accountability, and participation for America's citizens." OK. I just sent you an email asking you to reveal what you and the Supreme Court discussed in private. I also sent a letter to the NSA, FBI, and CIA to see what information they collected on you in order for you to get your security clearance.
While you're at it, Mr. President, since you continually cracked on Bush for making the "release of Presidential records more difficult," will you, in the spirit of your commitment to transparency, openness, fairness, and accountability, now provide all American citizens with the valid, concrete proof that you're a natural-born citizen and Constitutionally qualified to be the President?
That's not asking too much, is it?

True. Everyone knows he is anything but open and he does not understand the true heart and soul of America; nor does he want to.

The ten planks of the manifesto. Also, do read The Priory of Zion. It is antisemitic. Disregard that part, but study the tactics. It was written 100 years ago or so but the strategy will make your skin crawl. I was able to Copy the Priory of Zion onto a word document (though it was several pages long) a couple of months ago. Found it on the internet and perhaps it is still there.
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are... 1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes. Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership) 2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax. Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State income taxes. We call it paying your fair share. 3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance. Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes. 4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels. Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public law 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of terrorists and those who speak out or write against the government (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...). 5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly. Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking. 6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State. Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated drivers licenses and Department of Transportation regulations. 7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan. Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture
Thus read controlled or subsidized rather than owned
This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations. 8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture. Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two income family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920s, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. 9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country. Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public law 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China. 10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of childrens factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production. Americans are being taxed to support what we call public schools, but are actually government force-tax-funded schools Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based Education . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like majority rules, and pay your fair share. WHERE are the words fair share in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is fair share even suggested !! The philosophical concept of fair share comes from the Communist maxim, From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to fish to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be needy... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.

Lucy, before I read the thread, I sent you the ancient 10 Planks of the Communist Manifesto. The 45 point agenda sent to you was actually GENERATED BY OUR CONGRESS and uncovered by Cleon Skousen for the FBI while serving under J. Edgar Hoover. Our congress has been demonic longer than some of you cats are old.

Ayers and their puke where only able to pull off what they did and remain free as a bird because of a Democratic dominated Congress and two half wit Democratic presidents during that time frame. If GWB where POTUS back then things would have turned out differently. At least Ayers, his wife and the rest of their and similar organizations may have ended up with long jail terms or life in Imprisonment.

What's the FYI and ping lists, Dave?
Whatever...add me, please.
Knew we were in for trouble, just the speed of trouble is disconcerting. It seems that a Coup d'Etat has been elected.

The link I gave you for the Communist Goals has been reworked as of Jan 25th. The list has been removed from that page.
You can still find it at the following...

We are all probably going to need this for future reference unfortunately!
