James Hansen Lies and Defrauds Even More
by Bill Hennessy on June 29, 2009
in Latest
Watts Up With That has a graph illustrating the ridiculous extent to which James Hansen has gone to perpetuate his global warming myth. Hansen has rewritten US temperature data of the past 2 centuries–as if he was there.
It’s time for NASA to fire Hansen. The DOJ should open a fraud investigation.

Democracy Is Not Above the Law

In Honduras, the military overthrew a democratically elected president who used his election to seize dictatorial powers. Good for the military, which acted on a Supreme Court order. Let’s hope the SCOTUS will have the berries to shut down TheOne’s continuing slide into despotism.

Obama’s New Era of Secrecy
by Bill Hennessy on June 21, 2009
in Limited Government
As a candidate, Barack Obama swore he would throw open the activities of government to light of public scrutiny. In his inauguration, he swore to disclose everything. As President, he has instituted strict rules of secrecy on White House actions–except those of his predecessors.
Now, Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff, no friend of the right, notices the incongruity between Obama’s promises and his actual openess.
He finds that Obama’s openess executive order contains loopholes that the media have ignored until now. For example, the memo requires transparency only “if practicable.” More limiting, transparency applies only to “pending legislation,” not to the White House’s continuing practice legislating by presidential decree.
But Isikoff failed to point out that the White House routine violates the legislation rules. Meetings, memos, and the legislation itself was intentionally hidden from public inspection.
Kudos to Isikoff for having the courage to point out this continuing act of hypocrisy by Obama. Let’s hope he keeps it up after the White House revokes Newsweek’s press passes.

I Am Skeptical

You should be, too.
The tally of continuing claims, or benefits drawn by workers for more than one week, fell 148,000 to 6,687,000, the first weekly decline since the week ended Jan. 3 and largest since Nov. 24, 2001. (wsj.com)
That would be good news, but only if a) it’s true, and b) 148,000 more people found jobs than lost them last month.
Frankly, I think the government’s lying to us.
Obama had been claiming he would add 600,000 new jobs by the end of the summer. Conveniently, these numbers come out one week later. Hmmm.
I’ll wait to see if there’s an adjustment down the road. Obama is a statist, like Stalin and Mussolini. I simply don’t believe a word coming out of the White House.

If you don’t know why, then you’re reading the wrong blog.
The New Agenda is keeping tabs on sponsors of David Letterman’s show. I have already told T-Mobile that I will cancel may $120 month service (paying the penalty) if they don’t stop advertising on The Late Show by July 15.
Top names on the boycott list:

- Chase (JPMC)
- The Gap (plus Old Navy and Banana Republic)

Please check the list and avoid these companies until they leave Letterman or Letterman retires.

Lefty Blogger Political Incest
Since the November elections, Missouri state government has been infested with former left-wing bloggers, according to 24th State. More news on the revolving door between FiredUp and Nixon/Carnahan junta to follow on 24th State blog.
Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference
Dana Loesch and Bill Hennessy were privileged to participate in a Social Media Marketing panel at the Conservative Heartland Leadership Conference held at the Millennium Hotel June 3 and 4. Ed Martin of American Issues Project masterfully pulled together the first annual even which could, someday, rival C-PAC. Watch the CHLC web site to stay up-to-date on next year’s conference. If you can’t attend, send a high schooler or college student.
Home School Heroes
Dana Loesch and others helped defeat a plot to harrass home schoolers in the Missouri legislature. Congratulations, home schoolers, for this victory. We should all take this as a reminder that the statists will never stop in their attempts to thwart our liberty. ( A well educated electorate is the last thing the left wants. ) About 2,000 home schoolers turned out at the Capitol to fight the legislation.
Rumor: Jay Nixon Shutting Down Transparency
Rumor has it that Governor Jay Nixon plans to shut down the Missouri Accountability Portal to hide his fiscial activities. The Portal, hailed as the international model of government transparency, allows citizens to see the check register of every penny spent by state government. Governor Matt Blunt started the portal as tool allow the people to police Missouri government, so why on Earth would Nixon close it? Tea Partiers should write the Governor and their local newspapers, radio and television stations demanding more transparency, not less.

Memorial Day 2009

It’s not a sale.
It’s not a party.
It’s not a day off work.
It’s a memorial to those who placed freedom, liberty, and dignity above the tiny distractions of life. We memorialize the moments of our heroes’ lives–moments that defined their legacy in God’s book.
They raised their hands and swore to defend their country and Constitution. They were so young, then. I saw a young Marine, yesterday, at his girlfriend’s high school graduation. His dress blues looked so empty. His face looked so young. "He looks like he’s twelve," my wife said.
They swore to obey the orders of the President of the United States and of officers placed over them. They entered into a covenant with freedom without reservations or purpose of evasion. They endured humiliating, painful, exhausting training that seemed worse, to them, than any combat could. In this, they were wrong, but they had so little to compare against.
My dad returned from World War II and Korea. Many of my uncles returned from WWII or Korea. My cousins from Vietnam. None of these men talk much about their experiences, though my uncle Pat Mahon wrote about his experiences on the Catalinas in WWII.
Psychologists like to say these men, and others like them, are too traumatized by war to speak about it. Perhaps. Or perhaps, to them, silence is the greatest tribute to their fellows who didn’t return–a statement in and of itself. What can the living say that’s more profound than the actions of their fallen comrades? Lincoln understood this when he said, "The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here."
At 3:00 p.m. today, please join millions of others in one minute of silence. Remember what you hear.

The End of Business; The End of the Republic

While the Tea Party movement was and remains non-partisan, the dangers to freedom posed by this man, Barack Obama, are too serious to protect his name with euphemisms. The Tea Party movement is the only active resistance to this administration’s dictatorial seizure of power.
Today, a government official leaked plans for a permanent government takeover of General Motors. On the heels of the administration’s repeal of contract law and elimination of 200 years of bankruptcy case law, this could signal the end of private ownership of manufacturing companies in America.
NEW YORK (Reuters) — If General Motors Corp. files for bankruptcy, as widely expected, its healthy assets will be quickly sold to a new company owned by the U.S. government, a source familiar with the situation said Tuesday [via CNN].
Since October, many people scoffed at conservative and libertarian warnings that an Obama administration would move quickly to bring about true Soviet-style socialism. Since taking office, though, the President has:
- Seized major banks and manufacturers, firing their managers and boards of directors, and replacing them with his own
- Assumed judicial and legislative powers by imposing un-Constitution rules and standards on the automobile and other industries
- Used threat of physical violence against bank executives to quash resistance to his arbitrary rule
- Routinely violated his own pledges to provide public comment periods to legislative bills
- Released terrorists who have killed U. S. service members
- Numerous other despotic acts against private property and individual liberty
- Confiscated the rightful property of citizens and companies, rewarding it labor unions without due process
Most Americans are too timid and frightened to resist. Have you heard an outcry from our esteemed Republican Senators? None. Representatives? Silence. Michael Steele? Cordiality.
Democrats, too, claim to support to liberty and free markets. Where is their outrage? Where is the legislation to stop Barack Obama from molesting the Constitution? Where is it? Where the hell are the American leaders? Are they wimps? Has Obama threatened to turn them over to ACORN-led murderous mobs as he did with the bankers? "I’m the only thing standing between you and the mobs" he told the bankers in February. We have elected Che, Castro, Lenin, Mao, Chavez.
It’s time for radical action. It’s time shut down the government through legal, coordinated civil disobedience. It’s time to take the country back.
I spent 9 year fighting communism in the Cold War; I’ll be damned if I’ll stand by and watch some punk-ass commie from Chicago undo our hard work.
Delenda est Obama!
