BILLIONAIRES DUMPING AMERICAN STOCKS

Warren Buffet, John Paulson and George Soros are selling, literally dumping their shares in U.S. companies.  The reason may be that specific research points toward a massive market correction, as much as 90%. 

COMMENTS:

Massive inflation looms when the effect of the printing of more money by the Treasury reaches consumer markets.  This means Americans can afford to buy even less than they are now.  Interest rates will soar, meaning the real estate market will tighten up, and the combination of these factors will lead to an inevitable stock market crash.  When these three money moguls are dumping stocks at this time, that means trouble is just around the corner.  Hopefully, we won’t all be reduced to eating sweet bippies. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Do you honestly believe that Obama was actually outraged at the I.R.S. news?  (Julie ~ Mission Viejo, CA)

A. Yes, but not in the way you think.  I believe he was outraged because the substance of his real agenda for change in this country is now out in the open. 

Q. If, as she stated, Lois Lerner has not lied, has told the truth and has abided by the laws as she alleged yesterday to Congress, why does she need to use the Fifth Amendment?  (Robert ~ Lakeview, OR)

A. Because there could now be questions to which, should she answer truthfully, would bring further discredit to the White House and she was probably told to take the Fifth by someone in the White House or to face their consequences.  The Administration is already known for threatening witnesses in the Benghazi Massacre investigation. 

Q. Will there be more to come from witnesses in the Benghazi scandal?  (Bernice ~ Elko, NV)

A. The word is that some new witnesses are obtaining legal counsel and will testify soon.  According to sources, the testimony will center on why Ambassador Stevens was even at Benghazi as well as who ordered General Carter Ham not to send help during the massacre and the reasons why.  That should really be interesting and probably damaging testimony.

DEBT CEILING REACHED: MOODY’S TREATENS ANOTHER DOWNGRADE

Mired in scandals, the Administration has allowed the U.S. temporary suspension of the debt ceiling to expire, meaning we are now technically out of money.  Treasury Secretary Jack Lew cautions that Washington probably can last until sometime after Labor Day, and: "Congress should act sooner rather than later to protect America's good credit and avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of failing to act until it is too late." 

COMMENTS:

The silver lining in all of this is that for now, gun control is taking a back seat to more pressing matters.  I’m sure Obama wants Congress to rush through a new budget compatible with his insatiable desire to spend, spend, spend; I think we could make substantial progress by simply cutting funding for ObamaCare. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Does the I.R.S. scandal lead into the White House and Obama?  (Jan ~ La Junta, CO)

A. We now know that top-level White House officials including the Chief of Staff, were aware of the then pending disclosures about the wrong-doing; How Obama could be surrounded by people who knew and not know himself requires a stretch of the imagination.  While no one knows for sure yet, the day before the targeting of conservative groups began, (March 31, 2010), Colleen Kelley, President of the National Treasury Employees Union, had a meeting with President Obama, according to White House logs.  In fact, she has been an attendee at several White House meetings which are “not described.”  The White House is taking steps to try and isolate the union from investigation. 

Q. If Obama knew and said that it was a terrorist attack at Benghazi from day one, why did he fly to Vegas and just where was he that night?  (Edgardo ~ Albany, CA)

A. According to Senior White House Adviser Dan Pfeiffer, the answers to those questions are “irrelevant” and none of our business.  Obama himself said, shortly after he released 100 emails to the Congressional committee investigating Benghazi, that that should be the end of it.  Of course, Congress wants its hands on another 25,000 or so relative documents that the White House is refusing to release.  One thing I have learned in conducting my own investigations into things during my lifetime is that the more someone resists an investigation, the bigger the issue really is.  Bob Woodward, one of the reporters who broke the Watergate story, is of the same opinion and says: “I would not dismiss Benghazi. It's a very serious issue."

Q. I’ve heard from several sources that the A.P. story goes much deeper and that the Obama Administration is “terrified” about something.  Can you elaborate?  (Gloria ~ Denver, CO)

A. Not really.  My suspicions are that it has to do with White House control over the press and media and that blackmail is involved.  Whatever the situation is, you can now bet your sweet bippies that the Associated Press is hot on the trail.

D.O.J. TARGETED FOX REPORTER

James Rosen, a Fox News correspondent, was accused in a Justice Department affidavit of being a possible criminal "co-conspirator" for his alleged role in publishing sensitive security information in a case that takes the highly unusual step of claiming a journalist broke the law.  The Justice Department obtained information about his conversations and visits to the State Department, including a search warrant for his personal emails.  This follows efforts by the department to secretly obtain two months of phone records from Associated Press journalists as part of a separate leak probe. Michael Clemente, Fox News' executive vice president of news, defended Rosen in a statement issued Sunday afternoon: "We are outraged to learn today that James Rosen was named a criminal co-conspirator for simply doing his job as a reporter.  In fact, it is downright chilling. We will unequivocally defend his right to operate as a member of what up until now has always been a free press." 

COMMENTS:

Obama has made no secret of the fact that he intends to have total control of the press and media.  Members of the White House Press Corps have been threatened and intimidated about the stories they write: “Play ball or lose your press privileges,” has been the White House mantra.  Fox has been a thorn in Obama’s side and several top White House lackeys have openly targeted Fox in the past, even going so far as to demand that the F.C.C. take Fox off the air.  While Fox should not be surprised at this story, we Americans have a Constitutional right to unfettered reporting about what is going on in our government, contrary to Obama's belief that he who controls the press controls the nation.

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Why do you think the I.R.S. admitted to the targeting of conservative groups?  (Russell ~ Sunnyvale, CA)

A. It’s an old trick, like when the auditors are coming to audit your business.  You look for some inconsequential thing you did wrong and make sure they “discover” it.  They write you up for it and go home, satisfied they have done their job; what they don’t know is that there was a much bigger problem they could have discovered and really written you up badly.  Nixon used the same trick with the I.R.S. to let something out of the bag and then admit to it so the investigators would stop before they hit the real pay-dirt. 

Q. Did I hear correctly that the I.R.S. is monitoring millions of emails and Internet transactions?  (Glenna ~ Redding, CA)

A. Yes.  They claim authority to do so without warrants and that their objective is to catch tax cheats.  Is big brother watching you? 

Q. You’ve mentioned the “Fast & Furious” scandal a bit in recent posts.  What happened to the chief whistle blower, John Dodson?  (Myrna ~ Gardnerville, NV)

A. Dennis Burke, the former chief of staff for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano who was appointed as U.S. Attorney for Arizona by President Obama in September 2009, lied when asked if he leaked sensitive documents to the press meant to undermine the credibility of A.T.F. whistle-blower John Dodson.  Burke reportedly leaked information to the press designed to discredit Dodson.  When Congress asked him about it, Burke lied and disclaimed the charge.  Dodson is now in South Carolina with severe restrictions on what he can and cannot do.

SUSAN RICE TO BE PROMOTED

Inside reports from the White House are that Susan Rice is in line to be promoted as the next National Security Advisor.  Rice’s intentions to be Secretary of State were sidetracked by her September insistence that the Benghazi Massacre occurred as a result of an anti-Muslim video in the face of mounting evidence to the contrary. 

COMMENTS:

I said at the time that she would end up getting a big raise for doing what she was told to do by the White House.  Obviously, I was correct.  This simply amounts to another flip of the finger by the White House to the deaths of our Ambassador and three others at Benghazi and to those of us who care. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. [Yesterday], Senior White House Advisor Daniel Pfeiffer made the circuit of news talk shows and poo-pahed any notion that Obama knew of the impending I.R.S. scandal and insisted that, if any laws were broken, it doesn’t make any difference.  I cannot believe the audacity of this White House.  (Gina ~ Irvine, CA)

A. It does sound like Susan Rice’s tour of the news talk shows right after the Benghazi Massacre, doesn’t it?  Deny, deny, deny and try to change the subject?  The only thing missing here is a weekend trip by Obama to Las Vegas.  Pfeiffer did say the Republicans owe Rice an apology and that it was “irrelevant” what Obama was doing while the attacks were ongoing.  Yeah, right.  Oh well, the Tea Parties and the Associated Press are getting a recharge out of all of this…

Q. What effect will the Russian build-up of the Assad-Syrian military have on a resolution to that problem?  (Kerry ~ Beaverton, OR)

A. It makes things much more difficult.  For one thing, the Russians are now controlling the Mediterranean with their navy.  Russian supplied anti-ship missiles could be used to break an embargo against Syria, as well as to stop supplies for the rebels.  I have a distinct feeling this is going to be a long, hot summer… everywhere.

Q. Senator Bob Corker has been trying to get answers from the Obama Administration about secret government payoffs to Afghanistan leader Hamid Karzai.  Is he making any progress?  (Irv ~ Missoula, MT)

A. Not much.  He first got a reply that the issue was none of his business, but now they have admitted the payments have been ongoing for over ten years, laying the blame for the payments on the Bush Administration.  Of course, they could have been stopped by Obama, and should have been because they open the door for corruption; there is no accounting or the funds.  Thank God the Obama Administration is as honest as the day is long, right?

IS IT TIME FOR AN UPRISING?

For over four years now, the Obama Administration has been stiff-arming Americans, doing end-runs around Congress and re-interpreting or totally ignoring our Constitution as it sees fit.  We Americans have been dished up lies, spins, ducks and dodges ad infinitum.  This President has not even seen fit to clear up that question of his birthplace to put an end to the issue.  The Administration, having shoved a healthcare system up our collective bums that we do not want, proved beyond a reasonable doubt last week that its overall agenda is less than healthy for America.  In short, this Administration has made a total mockery of our fundamental values of society and government. 

COMMENTS:

A government cannot run amok like this without eventually paying the piper.  We have witnessed a tearing apart of this country unheralded in the annals of our history.  To allow these events to pass without raising holy hell is to totally open the door for a “change” in our government that we did not vote for and do not want.  We need to be madder than hell and we need to bring this ominous bull poopoo to an abrupt halt. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Obama is going to cut our defenses even more?  What in the hell is going on to this country?  (Geoff ~ Peoria, AZ)

A. In the face of belligerent nations such as Iran, North Korea and Syria, as well as intense arms build-ups by Russia and China, he is going to sign a deal to further reduce our arsenal of strategic warheads... by Executive Order and without Congressional approval.    

Q. The IRS also targeted the Catholic League at the request of George Soros?  (Callie ~ Walla Walla, WA)

A. That’s correct, according to a recent NEWSMAX report.  It is well-known that Obama is totally in the pocket of Soros.  These hair-raising stories just coming out underscore just how far we have let control of our own government slip through our fingers.  Oh and by the way, those directly in charge of the I.R.S. stuff have been receiving huge, and I do mean huge, bonuses.  Please pass the gray poop on.    

Q. The House passed another resolution to abolish ObamaCare?  Isn’t this like whistling in the wind?  (Wilfred ~ Capitola, CA)

A. Not necessarily.  With the uproar over the I.R.S. right now, the heat is on to at least divorce the I.R.S. from ObamaCare.  How the plan could function without the I.R.S. as an “enforcer” remains to be seen, but with many aspects of ObamaCare starting to prove faulty, there has been a growing movement to repeal it anyway.  If the Senate should sign on and vote for the repeal, the question is whether or not Obama would veto it and risk further problems with the electorate.

ABOLISH THE I.R.S.?

Hundreds of conservative groups and organizations have been targeted for income tax audits and had requests for non-profit status delayed while liberal and administration-friendly groups have enjoyed immunity and unhindered approvals.  The Libertarian Party is advocating for abolition of income taxes, ObamaCare and the I.R.S.  "We must abolish the IRS and end any need for a regulatory agency that snoops into people's private lives," said Libertarian Party Executive Director Carla Howell. "We must draw back total federal spending to the level of 1992, which is more than enough to fulfill the government's constitutional duties to protect our life, liberty, and property. This will allow us to balance the budget immediately, end the federal income tax completely, and give back an average of more than $12,000 to every family in America." 

COMMENTS:

While outgoing “Acting” IRS Commissioner Steven T. Miller acknowledges that there was “targeting,” he denies that such “targeting” was politically motivated; but, there is also no allegation that any liberal group faced similar I.R.S. issues.  Indeed, anyone who openly supported Romney, who openly criticized the Obama dynasty or who in other ways “pissed the President off” seems to have been targeted.   As long as the I.R.S. exists, and especially now with added powers in the ObamaCare scheme, the risk of incumbent political parties taking an opportunity to target perceived enemies exists. No law can prevent it unless the law is adhered to, which depends on the individual character of the parties involved.  I agree with the Libertarian Party and Obama has proven me to be correct. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. How long do you think it will take to impeach Obama?  (Susan ~ Boise, ID)

A. It’s a two stage process:  (1) the House considers and votes one or more Articles of Impeachment, and (2) the Senate determines whether or not the President is guilty of one or more of those Articles.  If, and that’s a monumental if, the House were to start the process tomorrow, it would take at least a year to work its way through investigations, hearings, committees and onto the floor of the House.  That’s a bare minimum.  Then, you have more hearings and political speech, followed by the vote.  Then it goes to the Senate to determine that the Articles constitute Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors and that the President is guilty thereof.  The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides.  That would easily take another 30 to 60 days, and the vote required is two thirds, or 66.67% of those present, (67 out of 100).  So, you’re looking at over a year at best, probably closer to 18 months, until judgment day.  Barring any blatantly smoking gun, I can’t fathom the Democratic-controlled Senate delivering a 2/3 vote to impeach Obama.     

Q. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why the country is not in an uproar about all of this, Benghazi in particular.  (Rafael ~ Burlington, IA)

A. The mainstream media has not been covering this stuff.  The only way people are exposed to it is through cable and FOX or THE BLAZE in particular and they are not included on basic cable.  Hopefully, now that the press has been openly attacked and lies have been told in response to questions, the mainstream media will start picking up on it.  I wholeheartedly recommend that people get onto the Internet and visit both www.theblaze.com and www.foxnews.com on at least a daily basis. Those who do are, in fact, very upset at what's been going on. 

Q. Do I understand that the Department of Justice AP scandal includes a telephone in the House [of Representatives] Cloakroom?  (John ~ Hawthorne, NV)

A. Yes.  As I understand it, there is a phone in the cloakroom used by the press to talk with members of Congress, as well as press associates.  The phone records of that phone were subjected to the DOJ intrusion, again without court approval.  My hope is that the mainstream media will get ticked off enough to realize that they, as well as the American public, are being played as suckers by the Obama Administration.
