“The perception here is of a United States where security has trumped liberty, intelligence agencies run amok (vacuuming up data of friend and foe alike), and the once-admired “checks and balances” built into American governance and studied by European schoolchildren have become, at best, secret reviews of secret activities where opposing arguments get no hearing.” – New York Times columnist Roger Cohen

On the front page of the New York Times, August 19, 2000, “Ages-Old Polar Icecap Is Melting, Scientists Find“ … but ten days later a correction was unceremoniously appended to the bottom of the article after interrogation of the claims by Dr. Fred Singer in the Wall Street Journal.  But by that time, the erroneous claims in the NYT were replicated around the world by every major newspaper, television, magazine and later by an Oscar award winning, error-filled documentary movie.  Everyone was suddenly alarmed about the fate of polar bears and worried about global warming.

Now in 2013 the result is still evident in a very poorly informed public, where, in U.S. alone, the people have allowed their government to spend $120 billion (and the spending continues full tilt) chasing an erroneous, unverified global warming theory.

The original NYT article said the following:

“…for the time being, an ice-free patch of ocean about a mile wide has opened at the very top of the world, something that has presumably never before been seen by humans and is more evidence that global warming may be real and already affecting climate. The last time scientists can be certain the pole was awash in water was more than 50 million years ago.”

NOT appearing on the front page, but appended to the bottom of the archived article 10 days later was this…”Correction: August 29, 2000, Tuesday A front-page article on Aug. 19 and a brief report on Aug. 20 in The Week in Review about the sighting of open water at the North Pole misstated the normal conditions of the sea ice there. A clear spot has probably opened at the pole before, scientists say, because about 10 percent of the Arctic Ocean is clear of ice in a typical summer. The reports also referred incompletely to the link between the open water and global warming. The lack of ice at the pole is not necessarily related to global warming.”

The advice of Andrew Mellon to Herbert Hoover.  President Hoover did not accept that advice and the Great Depression continued for more than 10 years.

Your government has just acted exactly opposite to your best interests and the best interests of the United States.  They have authorized increased government spending instead of making the severe Federal budget cuts that are necessary to avoid the severe economic crisis directly ahead.  Instead of liquidating mal-investments in the Federal government regulatory structure, your political leaders have guaranteed economic stagnation followed by depression.

Have you been to Washington DC recently?  It is in a massive hiring and building boom.  New roads, new buildings, new neighborhoods all around town.  Instead of reducing the cost and complexity of government regulations, we are hiring more and more regulators.  Obamacare alone requires 159 new agencies, boards or committees.

Evidence clearly shows that increasing government spending reduces economic growth.  When growth stagnates, payment of interest on debt becomes more difficult and eventually impossible.  Government and central bank attempt to keep interest rates low in order to reduce the government’s cost of borrowing more and more to pay for ever-larger government.  But this is counter-productive mal-investment.  The low interest rates are further disincentive for private industry to invest in production and innovation.  Companies are better off buying back their own stock and downsizing employment in a stagnant economy.

The graphic immediately above shows 10 years of OECD data (more than 80 countries) of government spending as a percent of GDP versus average growth rate of GDP.  The growth rate of the US for 2012 was 2.2% and government expenditures in the US were 39.5% of GDP.  The efficiency of US government expenditures was less than the average of OECD countries.  Some economists argue that the U.S. growth rate is overstated.

Raising the debt ceiling, that is, authorizing further increases to federal spending as Congress and the President have just done, will be counter-productive, resulting in lower economic growth, fewer jobs, and a downward spiraling economy.  This is irresponsible government.

What is needed is significant reduction in federal government spending toward an optimum level around 20% of GDP, along with reductions and optimizations in state and local government budgets.  It can be done.  The state of Wisconsin, which has a balanced budget, recently passed a $100 million reduction in taxes.  Wisconsin and other states like Texas are showing the way.

Failure to reduce government spending, not just reduce the rate of growth of spending, is negligence on the part of political leaders.  We need negative growth of spending, but well managed, not overly severe, and spread over years.  A balanced budget is just the first step toward fiscal sanity, but they have refused to do that.  Beyond a balanced budget, deeper cuts will be required for years in order to reduce the existing outstanding government debt.  Managing sustained negative growth of spending, spread over many years, is required to minimize the inevitable financial pain.   This implies huge reform in government agencies, government employment policies, government employee incentives, and oversight and regulations.  Size and complexity of government at all levels must be reduced.

Excessive government spending has already pushed the U.S. economy into a downward spiral.  We are in that downward spiral now.  Government, in Washington D.C., in other countries, and in most U.S. state and local governments, is throwing gasoline on a dangerous fire.  If this were a healthy economy, we would have experienced a recovery that included several quarters of double digit growth following the severe financial meltdown of 2008 and 2009.  Instead, we have 2% growth, massive dropouts from the labor force, and leaps in enrollment for welfare programs such as Food Stamps.

 Fourteen million people in America are receiving monthly, permanent disability checks.  Since 2008, more people have been placed on permanent disability than in jobs.  Federal spending on social programs is growing 18 times faster than the economy.  Over 100 million people in the U.S. are now receiving Federal welfare.  Social Security and Medicare payments are not welfare but rather insurance benefits which were paid for by employers and employees in their wages.

The United States is already bankrupt but refusing to re-organize or even acknowledge its problems.  “According to the most recent tax data, all individuals filing tax returns in America and earning more than $66,193 per year have a total adjusted gross income of $5.1 trillion. In 2006, when corporate taxable income peaked before the recession, all corporations in the U.S. had total income for tax purposes of $1.6 trillion. That comes to $6.7 trillion available to tax from these individuals and corporations under existing tax laws.  In short, if the government confiscated the entire adjusted gross income of these American taxpayers, plus all of the corporate taxable income in the year before the recession, it wouldn’t be nearly enough to fund the over $8 trillion per year in the growth of U.S. liabilities.” ~ Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Mr. Chris Cox, a former chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee and the Securities and Exchange Commission, is president of Bingham Consulting LLC. Mr. Bill Archer, a former chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee, is a senior policy adviser at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.    http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887323353204578127374039087636

Growth Rate of Total Federal Spending versus Growth Rate of Median Household Income

During the economic collapse known as “The Great Depression,” Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury for under three Presidents, advised U.S. President Herbert Hoover, “Liquidate labor, liquidate stocks, liquidate the farmers, liquidate real estate.  It will purge the rottenness out of the system.  High costs of living and high living will come down.  People will work harder, live a more moral life.  Values will be adjusted, and enterprising people will pick up the wrecks from less competent people.”  “Additionally, he advocated weeding out “weak” banks as a harsh but necessary prerequisite to the recovery of the banking system. This “weeding out” was accomplished through refusing to lend cash to banks (taking loans and other investments as collateral), and by refusing to put more cash in circulation. He advocated spending cuts to keep the federal budget balanced, and opposed fiscal stimulus measures.” (1)  President Hoover rejected Mellon’s advice.  “The Great Depression” lasted fully 10 years, arguably until the U.S. entered World War II.   

That was then.  Today, the mal-investments are in different places than they were in 1928.  Today, the United States needs to liquidate many agencies of government at all levels, re-institute banking laws such as the Glass-Steagall Act (The Banking Act of 1933), weed out high risk derivatives trading by too-big-to-fail banks, restore solvent banking practices and eliminate zero reserve banking, regain public control of the Federal Reserve System and institute prudent banking practices there.  We also must eliminate all U.S. liabilities to global banks such as the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and eliminate obligations to the United Nations and similar supranational agencies because these supranational agencies cannot be managed under the U.S. Constitutional system of law without relinquishing the sovereign liberties of American citizens.  Foreign aid must be eliminated for some years; it is financial insanity to borrow from one country and give it to a third country.  The total burden of regulations on private industry must be reduced and optimized.

As in the Great Depression, if we do not act appropriately, these liquidations will occur whether we like it not.  We will have what has been called “creative destruction.”  We have a choice to insert new politicians who will manage the liquidations to minimize the pain and suffering, or else we can continue to ignore our incompetent, thieving, debt-and-power-addicted politicians and then economy and government will certainly crash, perhaps brought about by violent efforts to overthrow our corrupted government in an American Spring, or perhaps brought about by a futile and unnecessary war with dissatisfied creditor nations.

Dear Mr. President, Dear Congress, Dear Justices of The Supreme Court: I am tired of statists in Washington D.C. who think our Constitution and my liberty are negotiable. I am tired of your hubris and your thieving, unconstitutional ways. The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) in Obamacare is unconstitutional. The tax penalty in Obamacare is unconstitutional. If these words seem contemptuous, they are. Your evident contempt for the Constitution and citizens is reflecting back on you and revealed in polls of the American people.

Let me remind you: “A constitution is the form of government delineated by the mighty hand of the people, in which certain first principles of fundamental law are established. The Constitution is certain and fixed; it contains the permanent will of the people, and is the supreme law of the land; it is paramount to the power of the legislature, and can be revoked or altered only by the power that made it. The life-giving principle and the death-dealing stroke must proceed from the same hand.”

“The legislatures are creatures of the Constitution; they owe their existence to the Constitution; they derive their powers from the Constitution. It is their commission, and therefore all their acts must be conformable to it, or else they will be void.”

“The Constitution is the work or will of the people themselves, in their original, sovereign, and unlimited capacity. Law is the work or will of the legislature, in their derivative and subordinate capacity. The one is the work of the creator, and the other of the creature.”

“The Constitution fixes limits to the exercise of the legislative authority, and prescribes the orbit in which it must move. Whatever may be the case in other countries, yet in this there can be no doubt that every act of the legislature repugnant to the Constitution is absolutely void.”

“It is contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution to divest one citizen of his right, and vest it in another, without full compensation; and if the legislature may do so, upon full indemnification, it cannot of itself constitutionally determine upon the amount of the compensation.”

“The right of trial by jury is a fundamental law, made sacred by the Constitution, and cannot be legislated away.” [For example, the parts of the NDAA which permit the President to imprison an American indefinitely without trial are null and void, and so a federal judge has ruled. But why would the President insist on such power and why would Congress agree to such a law in the first place?]

Every act of the legislature repugnant to the Constitution is, ipso facto, void; and it is the duty of the court so to declare it.”

~ Vanhorne’s Lessee v. Dorrance, Federal Court, 2nd District. Dallas.

The Constitution of the United States was ordained and established, not by the United States in their sovereign capacities, but, as the Constitution declares, by the people of the United States. Martin v. Hunters’ Lessee. 324.

The Constitution was not, therefore, necessarily carved out of existing state sovereignties, nor a surrender of powers already existing in the state governments. Ibid.

The government of the United States can claim no powers which are not granted to it by the Constitution, either expressly or by necessary implication. Ibid.

The Constitution, like every other grant, is to have a reasonable construction, according to the import of its terms; the words are to be taken in their natural and obvious sense, and not in a sense either unreasonably restricted or enlarged. Ibid.

“The government of the Union is a government of the people; it emanates from them; its powers are granted by them, and are to be exercised directly on them, and for their benefit.” M’Culloch v. Maryland.

The mere existence of a law such as ACA Obamacare, which is now over 10,000 pages in length without including referenced statues and laws, contradicts the possibility of benefit for the people. The government in full blown hubris passed a law that no citizen can read or understand. There is no acceptable excuse for this unconstitutional abuse of power.

The Constitution, art. 2, sect. 2, 3, with regard to the appointment and commissioning of officers by the President, contemplates three distinct operations — 1. The nomination: this is the sole act of the President, and is completely voluntary. 2. The appointment: this is also the act of the President, though it can only be performed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. 3. The commission: to grant a commission to a person appointed, might perhaps be deemed a duty enjoined by the Constitution. Marbury v. Madison, 1 Cranch, 137, 155.

The President and his appointee the Secretary of Health and Human Services have no authority under the Constitution to appoint a board known as IPAB empowered as contemplated with its assigned functions. Congress has no authority to pass a law such as Obamacare which would enable or fund a board such IPAB. All laws, regulations and boards regarding expenses and benefits taxed upon citizens must be subject to oversight review, cancellation, change or defunding at any time by the elected representatives of the people. This task may not be delegated by Congress. Unconstitutionally, IPAB does not allow for proper oversight by Congress or the President.

The healthcare law known as ACA or Obamacare requires the President and Congress to take up the IPAB’s recommendations quickly, and then lawmakers and the President in agreement can only stop the IPAB’s cuts in payments to doctors, hospitals and other healthcare providers from taking effect by passing equivalent cuts elsewhere in the federal budget. If there is no agreement on counterbalancing budget cuts, then IPAB’s cuts are automatically enacted. Your medical procedure might be balanced against a new parking lot in Washington, or a grant for a robotic squirrel, but most likely there would be no counterbalancing agreement and IPAB’s cuts would occur. Your health would suffer. Compensation which is the private property of doctors and other healthcare providers would be reduced without compensation. IPAB is an unconstitutional delegation of power to an unelected agency. Health care decisions may not be made by a group of unelected, unaccountable individuals such as IPAB. Congressional oversight and control is required to protect access to care for citizens.

Furthermore, there are no candidates willing to be nominated to serve on such a highly contentious and controversial IPAB board. This speaks volumes about the absence of wisdom in this ACA legislation. Members of IPAB can and, no doubt, will be sued by plaintiffs who have been injured by IPAB decisions and the courts must take up these cases. There is no protection of executive discretion for IPAB members from potentially huge awards from the courts. The right of trial by jury cannot be denied.

“Where the head of a department acts in a case in which executive discretion is to be exercised, in which he is the mere organ of executive will, any application to a court to control, in any respect, his construct, would be rejected without hesitation. But where he is directed by law to do a certain act affecting the absolute rights of individuals, in the performance of which he is not placed under the particular direction of the President, and the performance of which the President cannot lawfully forbid, and therefore is never presumed to have forbidden, — as, for
example, to record a commission, or a patent for land, which has received all the legal solemnities, or to give a copy of such record, — in such cases, the courts of the country are no further excused from the duty of giving judgment that right be done to an injured individual, than if the same services were performed by a person not at the head of a department” Ibid. 171. IPAB members may be held liable in courts for injuries to patients, doctors and other healthcare providers. ACA Obamacare impairs both Congress and the President in their ability and timing to change the decisions of IPAB. IPAB is therefore unconstitutional.

“An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become the law of the land.” Ibid. 176, 177, 180.

“An act of Congress cannot invest the Supreme Court with an authority not warranted by the Constitution.” Ibid. 175, 176.

“If a title [for example IPAB] be derived from a legislative act, which the legislature might constitutionally pass, if the act be clothed with all the requisite forms of law, a court sitting as a court of law cannot sustain a suit by one individual against another, founded on the allegation that the act is a nullity in consequence of the impure motives which influenced certain members of the legislature which passed the act.” Fletcher v. Peck, 6 Cranch, 87, 131. In other words, in any case between an alleged injured party and members of IPAB, the defense may not use any potential inadequacies of the ACA Obamacare law or alleged misadventures of Congress.

“It may well be doubted whether the nature of society and government does not prescribe some limits to the legislative power; and if any be prescribed, where are they to be found, if the property of an individual, fairly and honestly acquired, may be seized without compensation?” Ibid. IPAB cannot be constitutionally vested with the power to determine the value of a doctor’s services to an individual. By all rights, the contract is between the doctor and the patient. To state otherwise would imply that either the patient is the property of the government or the skills and services of the doctor are the property of the government.

“A law which authorizes the discharge of a contract by a smaller sum, or at a different time, or in a different manner, than the parties have stipulated, impairs its obligation, by substituting, for the contract of the parties, one which they never entered into, and to the performance of which, of course, they never had consented.” Golden v. Prince, 3 Wash.

The Constitution of the United States, (art. 1, sect. 10,) declares that no state shall make any law impairing contracts. But, a law passed by Congress may impair a contract between individuals (Evans v. Eaton), however if that federal law requires seizure of private property (and compensation for the skilled services of a doctor are clearly the private property of the doctor,) then that doctor must be fairly compensated. The Constitution requires that the doctor be fairly compensated and prevents Congress from determining the fail value of that compensation. Unconstitutionally, ACA Obamacare requires IPAB to determine the value of compensation that the government will pay to the doctor and then avoids the requirement stipulated in the Constitution (that the government may not determine the value of the doctor’s services) by requiring state involvement.

“The provision in the 5th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, declaring that private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation, is intended solely as a limitation on the exercise of power by the government of the United States, and is not applicable to the legislation of the states.” Barron v. The Mayor and City Council of Baltimore, 7 Peters, Sup. Ct. U.S.

Deceptively, ACA Obamacare attempts to deny free commerce and contracts between providers and patients by requiring state participation rather than providing a national health insurance exchange. The 5th amendment protects citizens from the federal government, but not from the states.

“The objection to a law, on the ground of its impairing the obligation of a contract, can never depend on the extent of the change which the law may make in it; any deviation from its terms, by postponing or accelerating the period of performance which it prescribes, imposing conditions not expressed in the contract, or dispensing with the performance of those which are, however minute, or apparently immaterial in their effect upon the contract of the parties, impairs its obligation.” Green et Al. v. Biddle.

“It is a rule of construction that exceptions from a power mark its extent.” Gibbons v. Ogden. (191)

“The power to regulate commerce extends to every species of commercial intercourse between the United States and foreign nations, and among the several states. IBID(193) It does not comprehend that commerce which is completely internal which is carried on between man and man in a state, or between different parts of the same state, and which does not extend to or affect other states.” IBID. (194) The ruling of the Roberts Supreme Court regarding the individual mandate in ACA Obamacare conflicts with this judicial precedent. Since commerce between individuals is an exception to the powers in the commerce clause, then the tax penalty in ACA Obamacare which depends on that commerce between individuals is unconstitutional.

Is Gina McCarthy denying realty?  Is she lying?  Or is it something else?  Here’s Gina McCarthy, Obama’s newly appointed Administrator of the EPA, Sept 20, 2013: “Among scientists, there is near universal agreement that climate change is happening, it’s human caused, and it’s a threat to our health and welfare.  The 12 hottest years on record have come in the last 15. Last year was the warmest year ever in the contiguous United States…We know that carbon pollution is the most prevalent heat-trapping greenhouse gas, warming our planet and fueling climate change.”  Earth to Gina…

Factually speaking, among scientists, YES there is near universal agreement that climate change is happening.  NO, it’s NOT human caused (only a trivial amount of warming and cooling results from human activities), and the statistically insignificant human contribution of CO2 and warming are NOT a threat to our health and welfare.  NO, the 12 hottest years on record have NOT come in the last 15.  In fact, the last 15 years have been slowly cooling according to the UN IPCC and other national climate organizations.  Last year was the NOT warmest year ever in the contiguous United States, it was 1934 according to NASA’s records, and by the way there was not much human-caused CO2 around in 1934.  And, we have known for many decades that carbon is NOT pollution, but just the contrary, we know that carbon is a necessary element for almost all life on earth.  We know (NASA knows, UN IPCC knows, etc.) that carbon dioxide is the NOT most prevalent heat-trapping greenhouse gas warming our planet and fueling climate change; we know that water vapor is by far the most prevalent heat-trapping gas, accounting for 95% of the greenhouse warming effect, and we also know that humans have no control over, and no significant contribution to water vapor in the atmosphere.  Gina’s entire message at the link below and all of the very expensive ramifications of EPA’s climate change regulations are dependent upon her false statements.

Are you going to allow this person to steal from you and your family hundreds or thousands of dollars in over-priced and over-regulated energy?  That’s exactly what will happen if Gina McCarthy remains in office.

“Lincoln’s argument was that either slavery is right or freedom is right, and that the country couldn’t long stand if it was divided on which was so. There was an argument that slavery should be allowed to spread and be protected as a good thing, and there was an argument that slavery violated America’s principles and should be kept from spreading. There’s almost an exact parallel today, because the people who founded our country believed and wrote—and established a Constitution to provide—that there must never be unlimited rule by any man or group of men over other men. And our government is getting to a place where it threatens to become limitless…”

In his introduction to The City and Man, Leo Strauss writes this:  “However much the power of the West may have declined, however great the dangers to the West may be, that decline, that danger, nay, the defeat, even the destruction of the West would not necessarily prove that the West is in a crisis: the West could go down in honor, certain of its purpose. The crisis of the West consists in the West’s having become uncertain of its purpose.”

“It is certainly true that the vast majority of our nation’s elites today— those who welcome the results of yesterday’s [November 2012 US ] election—are creatures of modern historicist thought, which explicitly rejects the kind of objective principles—equality under God, inalienable rights—on which America was founded. According to modern historicism, the only objective truth is that one can’t know an objective truth. President Obama embraces this view in no uncertain terms in his book The Audacity of Hope: “Implicit . . . in the very idea of ordered liberty,” he writes, is “a rejection of absolute truth, the infallibility of any idea or ideology or theology or ‘ism,’ any tyrannical consistency that might lock future generations into a single unalterable course . . . .” So much for individual rights and limited government…”

“This view, which drives modern liberalism or Progressivism, has been on the ascendant. But remember when you quote Strauss that his works were intended to constitute a revival of the West. The West is heavily besieged from within, but it’s not dead. We are obviously a house divided right now, and I think it’s safe to say that conditions are going to get significantly worse before they get better…the principles of that animate our government today, which are antithetical to the principles of the American Founding, lead to policies that cannot work, will not work, and result in obvious injustices. That is weakness, and that provides cause for hope. But by the way, there is a parallel with the great twentieth century tyrannies: The modern bureaucratic form of government cannot remain accountable to the people, so in the fullness of time it will become despotic. That’s not the intention of anybody who runs it today, or at least not very many people. But that is its direction.”

“The experts who run the modern bureaucratic state think they are architects of a perfectly rational society. They think of themselves as scientists, and of the running of government as something more like science—the science of administration—than politics. They think they can coordinate society comprehensively so that no one is left out. That’s why they think of their work as something good and as something high. The problem is that what they are trying to do defies human nature—the human nature that led James Madison to write famously that men are not angels, and that led the Framers of the Constitution to divide government in order to limit government—and so what these experts are doing will ultimately lead to despotism…”

“…explaining the problem of the modern bureaucratic state. This form of government proceeds by rules, and rules upon rules, and compliance with those rules becomes a key activity of the entire nation. That results in bureaucracy, and in the inefficiencies of bureaucracy. Constitutional government, on the other hand, proceeds by clearly stated laws. Not grasping this is an important failure of conservative statesmen today. … Laws are passed by elected (and thus accountable) representatives, they cover everybody equally, and we can all participate in their enforcement because they are easy to understand. Not one of those three things is true of the regulations imposed by independent boards such as those established under Obamacare and Dodd-Frank.” ~ Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale College. December, 2012.http://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/file/archives/pdf/2012_12_Imprimis.pdf

At the very least, Extortion 17 – like the Benghazi tragedy – is an impeachable and courts martial offense called Command Negligence.  Extortion 17 and Benghazi both require a special committee appointed by Congress with Congressional subpoena power and the power to protect witnesses and members of the committee and their staff.  The committee must be complemented by a staff of non-government, professional crime investigators and lawyers, and former senior intelligence and military officers.

The deaths of the American military members including 15 members of Seal team VI soon after the death of Osama Bin Laden and the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and other Americans in Benghazi are a far worse offense than the cover up and theft of papers known as Watergate.  In the Watergate scandal, two term President Richard Nixon resigned the Presidency rather than be impeached by the House and tried by the Senate.  President Obama, and so far, the Congress are missing Nixon’s morality, ethics and appreciation of country and office.

Recent information on the Extortion 17 tragedy and scandal is here:  http://extortion17.com/

The impeachable / DoD courts martial charge is Command Negligence:

“Commander: An individual vested with command authority in a DoD Component….”

“Gross Negligence: An extreme departure from the course of action to be expected of a reasonably prudent person, all circumstances being considered. The act is characterized by a reckless, deliberate, or wanton disregard of foreseeable consequences.”

Here is the some of the press coverage from August 12, 2011:

The U.S. Defense Department released the names of U.S. military personnel killed in the downing of a helicopter in Afghanistan carrying many members of Seal Team VI.

Thirty-eight people were killed in that attack, eight of them Afghan military personnel. It was the single largest loss of life for U.S. troops since the Afghan war began in late 2001.

Of the 30 Americans, 17 were Navy SEALs. Twenty-two of the dead were U.S. Navy personnel, the Pentagon said. Fifteen were SEALs belonging to the top-secret unit that conducted the raid that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden at a compound in Pakistan. Two others were SEALs assigned to a regular naval special operations unit.

Five were so-called conventional forces with particular specialties who regularly worked with the SEALs. The other eight U.S. troops killed were three Air Force forward air controllers and five Army helicopter crew members.

NATO said it killed the militants responsible for the attack. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid rejected that, saying a NATO airstrike killed a separate group of insurgents.

The following list was provided by the Defense Department:

The following sailors assigned to an East Coast-based Naval Special Warfare unit were killed:

Lt. Cmdr. (SEAL) Jonas B. Kelsall, 32, of Shreveport, La.

Chris Petty, a fellow pilot and Carter’s friend, told KDVR.

Carter’s family friend Yolanda Levesque spoke at a news conference in Centennial, Colorado, on a hilltop selected because its view of the surrounding hills was one of Carter’s favorites, according to KDVR. “He was an outstanding husband and father, son, brother and soldier,” Levesque said. “He was a friend to all who met him … quick with a smile and always with a twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes.”

Duncan left his hometown in Kansas because he wanted to serve his country, The Olathe News reported.

“He wrote how much he loved his job as a door gunner on a Chinook helicopter,” the local paper said. “But he also told his friends that in the quiet amid the stark landscape of Afghanistan, he missed the Kansas sunsets, lying in a truck bed listening to the radio and cuddling with his sweetie.”

The airmen, who were assigned to the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, Pope Field, N.C. that were killed were:

Tech. Sgt. John W. Brown, 33, of Tallahassee, Fla.

His friend, Jon Woods, told the station that Brown was popular, athletic and loved a challenge. “He was just an all-American G.I. Joe, just a great guy who loved his country,” Woods said.

Newlun read KFSM a letter that Brown’s uncle had written, describing the airman as “Rambo without the attitude” and “brave but never arrogant, powerful but always gentle.” He was married and had no children.

Staff Sgt. Andrew W. Harvell, 26, of Long Beach, Calif.

The combat controller with the 24th Special Tactics Squadron was not only a “bad-ass warrior” but also, a loving husband to wife Krista and caring father to sons Hunter and Ethan, his wife said in a statement.

“We will miss him forever but we take solace knowing he gave his life serving his country and fighting for what he believed was right.”

Harvell was stationed at Pope Air Force Base, which this year was merged with Fort Bragg, before heading to Afghanistan, according to the Air Force.

Here is the Press Release from the Extortion 17 parents and concerned public

Three families of Navy SEAL Team VI special forces servicemen, along with one family of an Army National Guardsman, will appear at a press conference on May 9, 2013 at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. to disclose information about how and why their sons along with 26 others died in a fatal helicopter crash in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the successful raid on the compound of Osama Bin Laden that resulted in the master terrorist’s death.

Accompanying the families of these dead Navy SEAL Team VI special operations servicemen were retired military experts verifying their accounts of how and why the government is as much responsible for the deaths of their sons as is the Taliban.

The areas of inquiry at the press conference will include but not be limited to:

1. How President Obama and Vice President Biden, having disclosed on May 4, 2011, that Navy Seal Team VI carried out the successful raid on Bin Laden’s compound resulting in the master terrorist’s death, put a retaliatory target on the backs of the fallen heroes.
2. How and why high-level military officials sent these Navy SEAL Team VI heroes into battle without special operations aviation and proper air support.
3. How and why middle level military brass carries out too many ill-prepared missions to boost their standing with top-level military brass and the Commander-in-Chief in order that they can be promoted.
4. How the military restricts special operations servicemen and others from engaging in timely return fire when fired upon by the Taliban and other terrorist groups and interests, thus jeopardizing the servicemen’s lives.
5. How and why the denial of requested pre-assault fire may have contributed to the shoot down of the Navy SEAL Team VI helicopter and the death of these special operations servicemen.
6. How Afghani forces accompanying the Navy SEAL Team VI servicemen on the helicopter were not properly vetted and how they possibly disclosed classified information to the Taliban about the mission, resulting in the shoot down of the helicopter.
7. How military brass, while prohibiting any mention of a Judeo-Christian God, invited a Muslim cleric to the funeral for the fallen Navy SEAL Team VI heroes who disparaged in Arabic the memory of these servicemen by damning them as infidels to Allah. A video of the Muslim cleric’s “prayer” will be shown with a certified translation.

National socialism should not be a forbidden subject for intelligent discussion.   Prior to WWII, national socialism or fascism, later called Nazism, was supported by Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, King Edward of England, Prescott Bush (father of President George H.W. Bush), Charles Lindbergh and many more. There are MANY aspects of the current government in America that are the same as pre-war fascism. In fascism, the government controls industry, property and the means of production, as compared to communism where the government owns industry, property, and the means of production. The military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned about is still here today and growing. Obamacare is a healthcare industrial complex, an entire industry controlled but not owned by the government. Prior to WWII, Germans took similar control over their healthcare industry, and later took control over all means of production.  Given the alliances being formed between the Obama administration and Muslim Brotherhood countries, It is worthwhile to remind that in pre-WWII and in WWII, Muslim countries supported the fascist “Axis” states.  

Canadian-born writer Mark Steyn says it well and with wit.  Steyn’s article at the link below reveals the future of Obama’s “progressive” America. Read it and see the future of your children and grandchildren.

The United States is Detroit, the nation and city with narcissist politicians who justify their behavior and policies by their perception of other people. A healthy psyche with integrated morality would not be blaming other people for their own actions, feelings and inadequacies. “They locked their car doors when I approached, until I became a Senator,” is intentionally disconnected by a character disorder from crime rate statistics and the underlying cause of the statistic.  He looks away, ignoring anything that distorts his narcissist image.

The President ignores the facts of life in the black community and America as a whole. In the character disordered narcissistic mind, the fact that almost all terrorist murders have been perpetrated by a single group is twisted into his policies which spread fear and increase his and the group’s power. The President forbids use of the term Islamic terrorist or similar.  “I did it because I could,” is the mental state of a man or woman who walks on the waters of their own mind.  

Always blaming others, blaming the scared lady in the elevator who clutches her purse, instead of recognizing himself and his absent parents as the cause of his self-loathing, and then taking responsibility for himself, the leader of the so-called “progressive” movement is missing the morality that comes from being grounded in natural law and family values.  No parent told him, “Stop that! Now!” Today’s Congress and courts are mostly ducks of the same narcissist feather.

Narcissist politicians instinctively blame those who fear them; Bible and gun clingers have the high moral ground and, in the narcissist mind, they must be put on the defensive and brought down to the narcissist’s level at all costs.  Narcissist character disorders will say and do anything to fill their emotional void. “I did it because I could,” said Bill Clinton of his abuse of power and young intern Lewinsky.

Politics is their chosen career, suasion and cant are their skills, and they have no morals but self.  For them, morals and God are pablum for the people.  With no one to blame for their own deep self loathing, they defend the Trayvon Martins of the world because they know they could have been Trayvon had it not been for the helping hands of others…the narcissist did not build it himself…and those helpful others are despised and eventually thrown under the bus.  They realize that many among the throng on perpetual welfare and government employ suffer with their same moral affliction, and so that throng becomes their political constituency, their hoodies, their unions, their praetorian guard, and their judges.

“Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain. . . . ” ~ Dr. Samuel Johnson.
