(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today released 128 pages of documents it obtained from the mayor of Rutland, Vermont, showing a concerted effort by the mayor and a number of private organizations to conceal from the public their plans to resettle 100 Syrian refugees into the small southern Vermont town. The documents include an April 14, 2016, email from Amila Merdzanovic, executive director of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, to Mayor Christopher Louras, in which she wrote: I want to share with you the concern my HQ has about holding a public forum. If we open it up to anybody...

President George W. Bush's secret plan for Social Security has just been released to the public in response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by TREA Senior Citizens League, a million-member seniors advocacy group. For years the president carried on an energetic public relations campaign to promote his plan to privatize part of Social Security, but he kept under White House lock and key the "totalization" agreement his administration secretly made with Mexico in June 2004. A U.S. Border Patrol agent patrols along the fence line of the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Ariz., on Thursday, April 6, 2006....

In an interview with CNBC, a vice president for a prominent London investment firm yesterday urged a move away from the dollar to the "amero," a coming North American currency, he said, that "will have a big impact on everybody's life, in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico." Steve Previs, a vice president at Jefferies International Ltd., explained the Amero "is the proposed new currency for the North American Community which is being developed right now between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico." The aim, he said, according to a transcript provided by CNBC to WND, is to make a "borderless community,...

The Democrats have begun their campaign to frighten voters before the fall elections. It's nothing but a replay of past elections, the only difference being that they seem to be starting the scare tactics a bit early this year. (snip) The ploy is simple. Convince wrinkled citizens that the evil Republicans want to take away their Social Security. It's an old trick, tried and true. The Democrats roll this one out every single election. This time the point men are Richard Gephardt and Terry McAuliffe. They're both telling voters that the evil Republicans have a "secret" plan to reduce Social...

A spokesman for Sen. John Kerry's government-in-exile in Switzerland today said that the Massachusetts Democrat's threatened filibuster of Judge Samuel Alito's Supreme Court confirmation is part of Sen. Kerry's secret plan to position himself as "the party's strong second choice in 2008." While Democrats wondered, and Republicans jeered, at the apparently futile filibuster effort, the senator's spokesman said "no one should underestimate Sen. Kerry. It would be very difficult to do so." The unnamed spokesman said that the man who lost his 2004 presidential bid by a mere 3.5 million votes has a detailed plan that will bring him within...

Nov. 19, 2005 — - Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., believes U.S. troops do not necessarily need to be pulled out of Iraq right away, as a senior Democrat suggested this week, but they need more leadership from the Bush administration. "What we need is a little more commander-in-chief, and a little less campaigner-in-chief," Kerry said in an exclusive interview on "Good Morning America Weekend Edition." The question of whether or not troops should be withdrawn from Iraq moved to the front burner Thursday when Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., called for all the troops to be withdrawn immediately -- a call...

SIR Richard Branson tried to prevent the Iraq war in a secret deal with Nelson Mandela. The Virgin boss hoped to send the former leader of South Africa to meet Saddam Hussein and persuade him to go into exile. He even got United Nations chief Kofi Annan's approval for the plan, despite fears that Saddam might kidnap Mandela. A private jet was ready to fly the Nobel Peace Prize winner to Iraq. Branson offered to join him on the peace mission. But coalition forces invaded Iraq just before they went. Branson opposed invasion plans and believed if they could offer...

Just when you thought left wing paranoia couldn't get any weirder.

Remove a majority of voters from responsibility for income taxes This is the biggie – and they've made no attempt to hide their goals here. The Democrats have been working on this plan for decades --- with no small amount of help from the cowardly Republicans. The idea is simple. Using "refundable" tax credits and deductions and such ideas as the fraudulent Earned Income Tax Credit the Democrats are working to shift the entire burden for the payment of federal income taxes onto a minority of US taxpayers. Right now the top 50 percent of taxpayers pay almost 96 percent...

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Nov. 1, 2004 — Democrat John Kerry says he plans "very strong and real steps" to buttress national security if elected president. "If the American people make me president Tuesday, they will see a flurry of activity and leadership with respect to our national security interests that they've never seen, but I'm going to wait until I'm there," Kerry said in an interview Sunday with The Associated Press.

Something to Yak About – International Man of Mystery Has Secret ‘Post-Debate War Plan’ Buried deep within a news report on the run-up to the first presidential debate – the final sentence as a matter of fact – is the latest insight into the mind of John Kerry, International Man of Mystery. Regarding what the Kerry campaign loves to call the ‘spin war,’ Kerry spokesperson Stephanie Cutter is quoted as saying, “Kerry had his own post-debate war plan ready to go. She would not disclose it.” Hmmmmm… a non-disclosed post-debate spin war plan, eh? Maybe it’s something stitched together with...

John Kerry's favorite phrase of the campaign season thus far, aside from "Bring It On" and "Are you still mad at me, Theresa?" is "I've got a plan." How many times have we heard this superfulous quartet of words spit from the mouth of the perspective Democrat candidate? What an absolutely meaningless sentence. Each time I hear these words served up as some sort of viable alternative to the vision of George W. Bush, I want to throw large objects at my already dented television screen. (The Democratic debate was tough on the old Zenith). Let's look at it this...

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has a plan for Iraq. Thing is, he's just not ready to tell you. Here's Mr. Kerry speaking on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday: "I know that as president there's huge leverage that will be available to me, enormous cards to play, and I'm not going to play them in public. I'm not going to play them before I'm president."     As has been remarked by many already, Mr. Kerry is tapdancing dangerously close to the "secret plan" Republican presidentialcandidate Richard Nixon alluded to while campaigning in 1968. In brief, Mr. Nixon allowed the public to...

WASHINGTON - John Kerry says he can "put a deal together" as president to drastically reduce U.S. troop strength in Iraq, a pledge reminiscent of Richard Nixon's secret plan to end the Vietnam War and Dwight D. Eisenhower's promise to stop fighting in Korea.Like those Republican presidential candidates, the Democrat's blueprint for peace lacks detail and has critics squawking.With voters skittish about the death toll in Iraq, Kerry is pinning blame on President Bush and his shaky relationships with allies who have refused to support U.S. troops with soldiers of their own. The four-term Massachusetts senator suggests he has back-channel...

Kerry offers up an Iraq plan, but it is secret. Kerry said he has a plan that is so good that American troop will be leaving Iraq and will be replaced by French and German troop lead by the U.N. Unfortunately, Kerry is worried that President Bush might use his plan and improve his chances for re-election; therefore, the plan must remain secret. It’s either that or he is full of hogwash and is trying to hide the fact that he has no plan. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2004/8/1/145747.shtml Holtz JeffersonRepublic.com
