UN Amb Susan Rice Advised Former Pres Clinton to rebuff Sudan's offer to Turn OBL Over To The US,is Anti-Israel,&ProUN&Redistribution of US$! | Littlebytesnews Current Events | Scoop.it

LBN:

This is a long article....but worth reading...I have included some of the main reasons she is not qualified as Secretary of State, let alone UN Ambassador. How she ever obtained the position is beyond me, but I guess it was an appointed position rather than a nomination?? Also, like Obama, Susan Rice is part of a group that wants to have the United Nations “rule” over all governments. This includes our beloved United States. She supports redistribution of US wealth to Africa through a UN fund and Susan Rice also had a hand in the question of force by Israeli Commandos with the Gaza bound Pro-Palestinian ship.


She is as bad of nightmare as Obama, if not worse!Since Obama shares the same views, it's obvious why she was picked for the UN Ambassador and why he wants to now put her third in line for the Presidency.

 

We MUST demand the GOP remain strong against her nomination as Secretary of State and stop the continuous appointment and promotion of illigitmate, anti-Americans in positions of power! Contact your Senators today!! Don't expect any of this to come out in the mainstream media.

 

 

Excerpt:

United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice should not be given any more promotions. In fact, maybe she should be removed. How could we possibly say something like this about a lady that our President so vehemently respects and defends? Well, maybe because we know that had Susan Rice not given the wrong advice to President Clinton in 1996, Osama Bin Laden would have been in jail and the twin towers may well still be seen today! It is so very sad that a person such as Susan Rice is given such high jobs while she has failed to do what should have been an easy chore, get Osama bin Laden!


“In 1996 Rice helped persuade President Clinton to rebuff Sudan’s offer to turn Osama bin Laden, who was then living there, over to U.S. authorities. Rice reasoned that because Sudan had a poor human-rights record, the U.S. should have no dealings with that nation’s government — not even to obtain custody of the al Qaeda leader or to receive intelligence information on terrorists from Sudanese authorities. Bin Laden subsequently moved his terrorist operations to Afghanistan, from where he would mastermind the 9/11 attacks.”


And now Obama wants to make her the Secretary of State? This is by far the most obnoxious thing that could happen! Susan Rice does not deserve the post she now has much less a promotion!

 

Susan Rice became a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution’s Foreign Policy and Global Economy & Development programs. Now here is a group to be with, they really have turned into a left wing group in recent years.


“Brookings has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including the Global Governance Initiative, which aspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government, based in part on economic and Third World considerations. Brookings Fellows have also called for additional global collaboration on trade and banking; the expansion of the Kyoto Protocol; and nationalized health insurance for children. Nine Brookings economists signed a petition opposing President Bush’s tax cuts in 2003.”


Now how is that? Susan Rice is part of a group that wants to have the United nations “rule” over all governments. This includes our beloved United States. Now that just does not seem right to have a lady with ideology along those lines to be our next Secretary of State. She does not present herself as an individual whom would have the best interest of the United States at hand. But wait, this lady is a gem of an extreme lack of quality. She has proclaimed that terrorism was born from oppression and deprivation!


In 2005 Rice co-authored an academic article which postulated that terrorism was “a threat borne of both oppression and deprivation.”
But Susan Rice does not hold just these strange ideologies. She also holds the most questionable of all ideology.


“Reasoning (contrary to much strong evidence) from the premise that poverty breeds terrorism, Rice believes that U.S. taxpayers should fund nearly $100 billion per year of new-development-aid programs under the auspices of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Project — a massive wealth-redistribution initiative designed to transfer money from the world’s developed states to its poor states, many of them in Africa.”


Susan Rice wants to take money from the United States, of which our nation is now becoming unable to give out, and just give it to “poor” states, mainly in Africa. These people have problems and no amount of money can ever make them disappear. But one has to wonder if this “redistribution” of wealth from the United States to Africa is just her idea or has Obama latched onto it also, even as Obama’s own brother sits in a 2 by 8 room made of used tin and scraps of wood.


Susan Rice also had a hand in the question of force by Israeli Commandos with the Gaza bound Pro-Palestinian ship.


“On June 11, 2010, it was reported that Rice played an important role in pushing the Obama administration to support a United Nations investigation of a deadly May 31 fight between Israeli commandos and a number of passengers aboard a Gaza-bound, pro-Palestinian ship. The ship was carrying humanitarian relief supplies to Gaza, but its crew refused to comply with Israeli requirements that all cargo be submitted for inspection, thereby igniting the trouble. According to Israel, approximately 40 of the 600-plus people aboard the vessel were Turkish jihadis who instigated the violence, and at least five were known to have ties to Islamic terrorism. For details of the incident, click here.”


Why would Susan Rice even consider this type of action if she is supposed to be representing the United States? The United States is supposed to support Israel not oppose it, but with Susan Rice, it is apparent that she does not like nor support Israel at all.


“In February 2011, Rice stated: “For more than four decades, [Israeli settlement activity] has undermined security … corroded hopes for peace and security … it violates international commitments and threatens prospects for peace.” During testimony she gave two months later, Rice reiterated that sentiment, asserting that “Israeli settlement activity is illegitimate.”


Now just how could a representative of the United States even consider what Susan Rice has stated many times over, especially about what is supposed to be our main ally in the Middle East? Why is it that Susan Rice even thinks like this?

A Call To Action to Restore America & What's Really Destroying America

A Call To Action to Restore America & What's Really Destroying America | Littlebytesnews Current Events | Scoop.it

A Call To Action to Restore America

by P Garza aka @littlebytesnews

 

UPDATE:

Do you support unification of TeaParty orgs,etc to take legal action against the liberal propaganda media, as well as boycotting of their sponsors? If you want to restore America we must act together and unifty our groups to stop the liberal propaganda machine from smearing Conservatives and covering for the socialist/communist Obama, liberal agenda!

 

Do you oppose the moral and cultural decay of our country and the decline of our education system?? Then we must act now and work together to take back the education system, whether by homeschooling, private schooling or getting more involved in the public education system at the local level.

 

If you are not aware by now, after the re-election of Obama, the direction our country is heading is very dire. I fear by the time Obama is done with his four more years, it will be too late and we will all be equally poor and oppressed. I believe we need to take action before that happens and before 2014 and 2016!

 

Sadly, like others I have my doubts those who re-elected this moron will not learn from their mistakes, but am hopeful if we fall completely they will wakeup, but fear that by then it will be too late. I think we need to organize against the media and take back the message. I also think we need to take back the message in schools where our children are being taught about social justice, anti-capitalism, and distorted versions of history rather than the facts. Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it.

 

My Solutions/Ideas To Change Direction

1) I don't know exactly how we can go after the media other than boycotting sponsors of the liberal propagandists and/or a class action lawsuit by we the people organized by the tea party movement?? They need to be sued for media malpractice and being complicit in keeping the truth from the public, not vetting Obama properly, protecting him from the scandals surrounding his admin from fast&furious to Benghazi, Solyndra/green energy loans,etc. If we are successful in a class action lawsuit, I am hopeful their broadcasting license are revoked and conservative media and new media can take over and get the truth to the American people and the world.

 

2)To change/reform education we need more conservatives teaching, acting in leadership roles in the system from school boards, to the administration. We have let the liberals take control for far too long and they now not only control the education system and curriculum but our Universities where many vulnerable young minds are being taught to accept the liberal ideology, social justice, anti-capitalism, etc. Many are also taught antisemitism and this is another reason so many young support Gaza/Hamas rather than our ally Israel. They are not getting the truth and they are not learning from history and about true history, but a revised version of history distorted by the liberal/progressive/Marxists running our schools/universities.

 

I believe the distortions of the liberal media, voter fraud, [http://obamavoterfraud.com] illegal voters through Obama's backdoor amnesty/DREAM Act& foreign donations, as well as lack of photo ID laws allowed Obama to win re-election. Not to mention the brainwashed/misinformed voters who have been taught otherwise in our schools/universities. I know everyone can't home-school so homeschooling as an alternative can not be the only option.

 

We must take back our education system and not only improve the system, but control the message.


All of these things need to change before Conservative principles and the intentions of our founders will be fulfilled again. We have slowly been moving away from those traditional values&morals thanks to the corrupt/biased media and education system. Until we take those back we may never be able to win this fight without total destruction, but by then it might be too late to ever recover. I hope we can somehow do something now and before 2014 to change the message and take back control of the media and education system. Otherwise, we will be doomed to tyranny, the status of a third world country,militarily&economically, and the American Dream will be no more.

 

If you have other ideas and a way to organize with the tea party movement to pursue a class action lawsuit against the corrupt media or change our school system or otherwise, please share and contact me. Hopefully we can all work together to start a citizens action group that can take back our country without violence or the need for another civil war or declaration of independence.

 

Thanks for posting this and helping to raise others awareness of what is destroying our country.

littlebytesnews's insight:

Update: What America needs — if it is to survive in liberty — is a surge in citizen activism unlike anything our nation has ever before seen.

The success of such a grassroots movement will depend on how much individual citizens are willing to do their part to return our country to divinely-inspired principles of self-governance — those principles contained in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and those validated by common sense and biblical teachings.

If you feel you need to "wait for instructions," or otherwise depend on others — especially those in positions of leadership — to guide and assist you, our country will not survive these perilous times. You must act as though the future of our countrydepends on you alone, for in a very real sense it does. It depends on the creative, responsible, exemplary initiative of yourself and those you inspire to similar patriotism.

Here are suggestions for helping to make a difference in the future of our country.



Submit frequent letters to editors.

Testify at public hearings.

Hold regular gatherings in your home or community to discuss and promote the cause of liberty.

Volunteer to work in a political campaign, at any level, for any worthy purpose.

Widely distribute signs for a cause or a candidate.

Lead — or get involved in — a worthy petition drive.

Organize a rally, large or small, to publicize an urgent issue or cause.

Contact your local paper and offer to be interviewed regarding a public question or concern you have vital knowledge of.

Pick up the phone and share your views on talk radio — or if you have the skills and opportunity, create your own radio or internet talk show.

Create a blog.

Found a website.

Write and publish a regular column — or even a book.

Get actively involved in a major (or possibly a "third") political party in your state or the nation.

Run for local — or higher — public office.

Sign the Pledge for America's Revival — and invite others to do the same.

Participate in RenewAmerica’s Facebook page (and also America’s Revival’s Facebook page) — and support similar interactive forums on the web.

Help organize your state or local area in the cause of taking back our country.

Inform yourself. "Zeal without knowledge" (see Rom. 10:2-3) will not save our country. Become acquainted with reliable, principled websites, blogs, publications, books, speakers, organizations, and other praiseworthy sources for information regarding the needs of our country and the solutions to those needs. Sign up to receive helpful newsletters and alerts.

A good place to start informing yourself would be to study essential documentsthat describe our nation's founding principles.

Work on your "people skills." By this, we mean your ability to strengthen and influence others for good — so they might be persuaded to take independent action — not your ability to "use" others for your own ends, as some might think. Respect the worth, dignity, and free will of each individual as you seek to assist them in fulfilling their duty as citizens.

Work on your communicative skills. "Politics is communication," to a large extent. Become the kind of communicator God can use for His purposes. Meaningful communication requires practice, experience, wisdom, and the operation of God's Spirit in effectively informing real people in real situations. This applies equally to both spoken and written communication.

Turn your skills and resources mainly to saving our country — above any other purpose beyond your own salvation and the well-being of your family — and rely on God to give you the practical means to do so.

and take the pledge: http://www.americasrevival.com/pledge.php#pledge

 

Help spread this message and help me get at least 10,000 to take legal action against the corrupt liberal media!

Debate grows over deporting illegal immigrants with rap sheets after police officers killed

Debate grows over deporting illegal immigrants with rap sheets after police officers killed | Littlebytesnews Current Events | Scoop.it

As the House and Senate continue to debate overhauling America's immigration system, new differences are emerging between the two chambers over how to handle criminal illegal immigrants. 

The controversy is emerging after two police officers were killed, allegedly by illegal immigrant drunk drivers with prior DUI arrests. 

 

"There are thousands of Americans killed intentionally and accidentally by illegal immigrants who have already been arrested and could have been deported from the U.S.," said Kris Kobach, an attorney representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who claim the Obama administration is preventing them from deporting law-breakers. 

 

In Houston, police say 23-year-old Andres Munos was driving drunk on May 20 when he struck and killed 47-year-old Sgt. Dwayne Polk, a Harris County sheriff's deputy. Munos, who is in this country illegally, was previously arrested in 2010 for drunk driving and unlawful carrying of a weapon. 

In Phoenix, Jesus Cabrera-Molina admitted he was drunk and high on cocaine the night his SUV struck and killed Phoenix Police Officer Daryl Raetz -- but he denies he was behind the wheel. Witnesses disagree, and Phoenix police have charged Molina with manslaughter. 

 

Under a House bill now being debated, drivers like Munos and Molina would likely get deported immediately by ICE or local police, who would have the authority to enforce federal immigration statutes. 

 

Under the Senate bill, however, illegal immigrants accused of non-violent crimes are entitled to a hearing and a taxpayer-funded lawyer. Those with three or fewer misdemeanors and some felonies would be allowed to remain if they had children or wives in the U.S.

littlebytesnews's insight:

If they committed a crime by driving while intoxicated they should be treated as any other criminal. Any legal citizen would be jailed and charged with manslaughter and these guys should be too, but they should also be deported because they are here ILLEGALLY, should the courts release them without charges or once their jail term ends.There is no reason criminal illegals should be allowed to remain in the US, especially when they have committed crimes that have taken the life of another person or caused harm to another human being!!

 

It's not discrimination to enforce the laws!

Hopefully he won't sell out to China, who is known to hack into our military and corporate secrets already. However, if the US threatens him with treason and extradition he may sell out his freedom for his life and security in China.

The whistleblower behind the biggest intelligence leak in NSA history answered your questions about the NSA surveillance revelations

Question:

You have said HERE that you admire both Ellsberg and Manning, but have argued that there is one important distinction between yourself and the army private...

"I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest," he said. "There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn't turn over, because harming people isn't my goal. Transparency is."

Are you suggesting that Manning indiscriminately dumped secrets into the hands of Wikileaks and that he intended to harm people?

Answer:

No, I'm not. Wikileaks is a legitimate journalistic outlet and they carefully redacted all of their releases in accordance with a judgment of public interest. The unredacted release of cables was due to the failure of a partner journalist to control a passphrase. However, I understand that many media outlets used the argument that "documents were dumped" to smear Manning, and want to make it clear that it is not a valid assertion here.

Question:

US officials say terrorists already altering TTPs because of your leaks, & calling you traitor. Respond?http://t.co/WlK2qpYJki #AskSnowden

— Kimberly Dozier (@KimberlyDozier) June 17, 2013

Answer:

US officials say this every time there's a public discussion that could limit their authority. US officials also provide misleading or directly false assertions about the value of these programs, as they did just recently with the Zazi case, which court documents clearly show was not unveiled by PRISM.

Journalists should ask a specific question: since these programs began operation shortly after September 11th, how many terrorist attacks were prevented SOLELY by information derived from this suspicionless surveillance that could not be gained via any other source? Then ask how many individual communications were ingested to acheive that, and ask yourself if it was worth it. Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it.

Further, it's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I w

 

littlebytesnews's insight:

Some of the highlights regarding the NSA whistleblower. Hero or traitor?? I'd say he hasn't crossed the line like Bradley Manning did with Wikileaks, but if I hear otherwise and he did disclose national security/military secrets to the Chinese or a foreign entity then he will be just as guilty as Manning. So far it appears he only revealed what most govts already do which is spy one one another, but he has confirmed that the US is also spying on every citizen and treating everyone as an enemy or terrorist, like China does, rather than targeting their spying on certain obvious suspects, such as Islamic terrorists.

I'm not a fan of Alex Jones but this is interesting and surprising  hear that the Black Panthers have lost faith in Obama, especially after Holder let them get away with voter intimidation in 2008. But, I guess his bankrupting America and leaving blacks unemployed while pushing amnesty is enough to piss them off.

Was John Brown, Abolitionist, the last American killed for Treason?

Was John Brown, Abolitionist, the last American killed for Treason? | Littlebytesnews Current Events | Scoop.it
John Brown - History Celebrities

 

John Brown was born in Torrington, Connecticut on May 9, 1800, the son of a gypsy type family, having moved from place to place throughout New England. However, he spent most of his youth in Ohio, where the schools taught him to take exception to mandatory education. At the same time, his parents taught him to worship the Bible and hate slavery. During the War of 1812, he assisted General William Hull by herding cattle for him. In later years he worked at his family's tannery (tanning is that process of turning animal hide into leather). At the age of twenty, he married Dianthe Lusk, and together they had seven children. Tied of working at his family's business, he and his wife moved to Pennsylvania and operated a tannery of their own. In 1831, Dianthe died, and within a year of her death, Brown married the sixteen-year-old Mary Anne Day. With Mary, they had thirteen children, giving Brown a total of twenty children between his two wives.

Over the next twenty-four years, Brown was not very successful in business, having built and sold several tanneries. Additionally, he was a land speculator, raised sheep, and started a brokerage house for wool growers, all of which did not fair well. Being a bad businessman, he experienced financial difficulties, but rather than improve his situation, his visionary thinking went toward the plight of the weak and persecuted. Always seeking the friendship and company of blacks, he ended up living in a freedman's community in North Elba, New York for two years. Soon he was obsessed in his thinking and became a militant abolitionist, as well as one of the "conductors" on the Underground Railroad. As well, he was the organizer of the Self-protection League for free blacks and fugitive slaves.

At the age of fifty, Brown now envisioned slave uprisings, and regarded himself as a person commissioned by God to make his visions a reality. In 1855, five of his sons went to Kansas to form a haven for anti slavery settlers, and Brown went along. Following the raids on Lawrence, Kansas, whereby the town was burned and pillaged, Brown's hostility toward slave states accelerated. Seeking revenge, Brown, along with the militia he had formed, went on a mission on the evening of May 23, 1856. With six militia members, as well as four of his sons, they went to the homes of pro-slavery men who lived along the Pottawatomie Creek, dragged them from their homes, and cut them to death with swords. As a result, Brown was known as "Old Brown of Osawatomie," and was feared by those men who were pro-slavery.

By the fall of 1856, Brown had been defeated, for the moment, and returned to Ohio, but still held his vision of a slave rebellion. To accomplish this, Brown traveled back and forth to Kansas several times, now processing a grandiose plan to free the slaves throughout the South. With financial help from abolitionists in New England, Brown started his plan by raiding plantations in Missouri, but accomplished very little by it.

Continuing his plan, in the summer of 1859, he decided to concentrate his mission to western Virginia. So, on the evening of October 16, with an army of twenty-one men that included five blacks, they raided the government armory and arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia). It was Brown's plan to steal the arsenal's weapons, then arm thousands of slaves, who he believed would flock to him upon learning of his raid. However, Brown's plan did not work as he had hoped. Instead, groups of the militia as well as the United States Marines under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee, converged on Harpers Ferry, trapping Brown and his men in a fire house on October 18. Storming the building, Lee and his men killed ten of Brown's men and captured seven, including Brown.

Later tried and found guilty of treason, John Brown was hanged at Charleston, on December 2, 1859. As a result of Brown's last speech, and his fearless demeanor on the gallows, he became a martyr in sections of the North.


 

littlebytesnews's insight:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

The Congress shall have power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.

Article III., Section 3., of the US Constitution


Or was it Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for passing information about nuclear weapons to the USSR. They were not charged with treason but espionage.


However, according to "Straight Dope": Brown was tried in Virginia state court, and executed for treason against the Commonwealth of Virginia, not treason against the United States.

User, "Captain Amazing", did find someone who was convicted of treason and sentenced to death, but he was never executed. Tomoya Kawakita was born in America to Japanese parents. He was in Japan when WWII broke out, and unable to return to the US. During the war, he was ardently pro-Japanese and abused American POWs who were forced to work under him in a factory.

After the war, he came to the US, where he was arrested, convicted of treason, and sentenced to die. The case went up to the Supreme Court (where he had argued that he voluntarily gave up his citizenship when the war broke out, and therefore, was not guilty of treason). The Court upheld his sentence, but Pres. Eisenhower commuted it and ordered him deported to Japan.


User "FreddythePig" says, Since the adoption of the Constitution, no American has been executed for treason against the federal government. John Fries was convicted of treason and sentenced to death for leading a rebellion against a federal property tax in 1798, but he was pardoned by President Adams.

However, there were executions in the pre-Constitutional period. According to Funk & Wagnall's,

Quote:During the American Revolution, charges of treason were brought against American supporters of the British government . . . Several men were hanged for enlisting soldiers in the King's army and for various other violations, such as furnishing supplies to the British.

I assume these men were convicted in state courts, there being as of yet no federal judiciary. John Brown, as discussed, was also executed by authority of a state court for treason against Virginia, not the United States.


Another user, "bibliophage" says: 

I happen to have recently downloaded the Espy file of legal executions, so I looked up the people executed for treason. The states in the list below indicate which modern state the execution took place in. Obviously Michigan didn't exist as a state in 1707 nor Maine in 1780 nor West Virginia in 1859/60. The 1862 executions in Texas took place after secession. There were several executions for treason in the list that I did not include because they were in Louisiana and Michigan before those areas came under British/American control.

Jacob Leisler and Jacob Milbourne 1691 New York
Philip Jones 1759 South Carolina
Messer, Matter, Merrill, Pugh, and two other men 1771 North Carolina
Moses Dunbar 1777 Connecticut
Elijah Woodward 1777 Massachusetts
Griswold 1778 Connecticut
David Redding 1778 Vermont
John Roberts and Abraham Carlisle 1778 Pennsylvania
William Tweed and Andrew Groundwater 1779 South Carolina
Jeremiah Baum 1780 Maine
David Dawson and Ralph Morden 1780 Pennsylvania
Three men 1781 Maryland
Joseph Bettys 1782 New York
John Brown, Shields Green, John Copeland, Edwin Coppoc, and John Cook 1859 West Virginia

Sadly, it doesn't look like much will happen to Obama for his acts of treason against the US, especially his most recent violation of arming the Syrian opposition/Islamic terrorists against Assad. Despite the fact that he has violated the Constitution and commited other high crimes and misdemeanors against the US.


However, according to WiseGeek, "In the modern era, most nations punish the traitor alone, with a sentence of death for serious acts of treason in nations with the death penalty. Lesser acts merit a jail sentence, usually for a minimum of five years, and a heavy fine: in the United States, the fine is $10,000 US Dollars. In nations without the death penalty, like Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, England, and Australia, traitors are usually punished with life imprisonment. Due to refinements of the definition for treason, convictions in the First World are rare, but many developing nations use accusations of it to punish dissidents, suggesting a lack of free expression in these nations."
