Analyst's note: Absolutely must see and carefully consider. Apparently this abuse of power and resulting tyranny is NOT going to stop until the American people finally rise up and remove the lawless Mr. Obama and associates from office. America needs to understand what we now face, so please consider sharing this with your friends.

Federal Judge: Obama administration is aiding Mexican drug cartels in smuggling illegal immigrants
by Poor Richard's News
The Obama administration already knowingly aided Mexican drug cartels in smuggling guns out of the US. Why should we be surprised that they’re aiding drug cartels in getting illegal immigrants into the US?
from Washington Times:
A federal judge in Texas late last week accused the Obama administration of aiding drug cartels, saying that instead of enforcing immigration laws, agents knowingly helped smuggle an illegal immigrant girl into the U.S. to live with her mother, also an illegal immigrant, in Virginia.
In a 10-page order, Judge Andrew S. Hanen said the case was the fourth such case he’s seen over the last month, and in each instance Customs and Border Protection agents have helped to locate and deliver the children to their illegal immigrant parents.
The judge said in each case, the taxpayers footed the bill for flights — including flights to multiple locations in different parts of the U.S. that it took to find one of the children’s parents.
“The DHS is rewarding criminal conduct instead of enforcing the current laws. More troubling, the DHS is encouraging parents to seriously jeopardize the safety of their children,” the judge said, adding that some of the children have been made to swim the Rio Grande River or traverse remote areas as part of the smuggling.
In the case before the judge last week, a 10-year-old girl whose mother, Patricia Elizabeth Salmeron Santos, paid a smuggler to get the daughter from El Salvador across the border and to Virginia.
The agents apprehended the smuggler and the young girl, and prosecuted the smuggler, but delivered the daughter to Ms. Salmeron Santos in Virginia, even though agents were aware she was in the country illegally.
The Obama administration action only encourage more of the same behavior from illegal immigrant parents and drug cartels who have little motivation to keep a child safe during transport.
This administration is completely lawless. The follow only the laws that benefit them and ignore anything that stands in their way.

White House review panel: NSA data collection against American's hasn’t stopped a single terrorist attack
by Poor Richard's News
The White House recently assigned a panel to review their own domestic spying tactics after public outrage over the NSA’s mass data collection. Their results pretty much tell us what we already know: the NSA’s spying in no way makes Americans safer.
from NBC News:
“It was, ‘Huh, hello? What are we doing here?’” said Geoffrey Stone, a University of Chicago law professor, in an interview with NBC News. “The results were very thin.”
While Stone said the mass collection of telephone call records was a “logical program” from the NSA’s perspective, one question the White House panel was seeking to answer was whether it had actually stopped “any [terror attacks] that might have been really big.”
“We found none,” said Stone.
Under the NSA program, first revealed by ex-contractor Edward Snowden, the agency collects in bulk the records of the time and duration of phone calls made by persons inside the United States.
Stone was one of five members of the White House review panel – and the only one without any intelligence community experience – that this week produced a sweeping report recommending that the NSA’s collection of phone call records be terminated to protect Americans’ privacy rights.
The panel made that recommendation after concluding that the program was “not essential in preventing attacks.”
“That was stunning. That was the ballgame,” said one congressional intelligence official, who asked not to be publicly identified. “It flies in the face of everything that they have tossed at us.”
The conclusions of the panel’s reports were at direct odds with public statements by President Barack Obama and U.S. intelligence officials. “Lives have been saved,” Obama told reporters last June, referring to the bulk collection program and another program that intercepts communications overseas. “We know of at least 50 threats that have been averted because of this information.”read the rest
I want to make a prediction here. Moving forward, President Obama will try to align himself more with the review panel than his own policies implemented by the NSA. See, he likes to stay above the fray and let somebody else take the blame for what he is ultimately responsible for. So, instead of receiving blame for domestic spying, President Obama will try to appear as the one who put a stop to it.
But here’s the kicker: they won’t put a stop to it. They’ll simply issue a directive with meaningless “guidelines" to "ensure that nobody’s rights are violated." And then the Obama administration will turn a blind eye as the NSA continues to spy on every single American citizen.

The Financial Collapse of America
by ALAN CARUBA with Family Security Matters
"The United States is in very deep trouble. First, the concept of repaying $16.7 trillion in debt is not even a remote possibility over the next 100 years, even if the government had small surpluses. Then, because the country is running such large deficits, the national debt is increasing and getting worse...much worse. In addition, the government is approximately $70 trillion in unfunded liabilities that have to be resolved."
"Pray that the market for the national debt remains open so that the United States can keep borrowing to repay the money is previously borrowed and then will have to re-borrow to repay the money it just borrowed. There is no chance the market will not change its demeanor over the next 100 years."
That's Murray Holland's conclusion in his book, "A Nation in the Red: The Government Debt Crisis and What We Can Do About it" ($28.00, McGraw Hill). As a longtime book reviewer, I have read a growing stack of books warning about a financial collapse, but Holland's book is not only based in the actual debt, but is written in a manner that even a person who has no knowledge of this issue can understand.
The "market" Holland refers to is the market for America's treasury notes and bonds, issued to cover our on-going budget and the interest needed to pay prior borrowing. In sum, the nation is spending more and borrowing more than it can afford. It has been doing this for a long time and the warning signs are places like Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other European nations that, following World War Two, embraced socialism. America did so even earlier during The Great Depression and the decades since the 1930s.
Holland calls it a Debt Trap and conservatives know instinctively that the U.S. government is too large and too based in socialism to survive. "There are over 500 agencies and departments on the list and it does not even include all the agencies and departments created in the states under grant programs from the federal government." One can find the list at http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/index.shtml.
"The list of social programs is long," writes Holland, "but the four major categories driving America into the Debt Trap are income security (Social Security, welfare, and other related programs), healthcare (Medicaid, Obamacare, and Medicare), education, and housing," noting that "These programs did not exist until after the Great Depression." They came about as the result of a Keynesian view that government spending would lift the economy out of its doldrums, but government spending does nothing to improve the economy. It sucks money out of the economy and, more specifically, out of the pockets of individual citizens and the business community.
Americans born during and after the Great Depression have had eighty years living in a nation whose economic system is capitalism, but whose governance is socialism.
Despite nearly fifty years of a Cold War with the former Soviet Union (1945-1991), Americans have been blissfully ignored its intention of the communist intention to destroy capitalism and have accepted a vast matrix of social programs that now represent $70 trillion in unfunded financial liabilities. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, their plan "to overwhelm America with debt, welfare, and entitlements-in other words, to bankrupt America has continued unabated.
"This will cause the collapse of America and the government could then turn to pure socialism," says Holland, noting that "Their scheme has been so well researched it has its own name: the Cloward-Piven strategy,"
It's worth noting that, in addition to the socialist nations of the European Union, communism is still alive and well in Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba to name just a few nations. And yet, even Russia and China have adopted some capitalistic measures, while ensuring strong, totalitarian central governments.
The level of danger has increased exponentially with the election and reelection of President Barack Obama whose namesake legislation, Obamacare, is already having a catastrophic effect on the economy while putting all Americans at risk for the loss of healthcare from individual physicians and hospitals. The legislation was passed by a party-line vote by Democrats and opposed by every Republican in Congress. Obama spent the years since signing it lying about it. That's what Communists do.
It is what the vast bulk of the nation's print and broadcast media is doing are doing as well. They are little more than echo chambers for the torrent of lies that Obama administration is telling Americans about the economy.
"During the first few years of the Great Depression, almost 2,300 banks were closed, manufacturing fell 46 percent, and wholesale prices fell 32 percent. Today, the United States has a reported unemployment rate of around 8 percent. During the Great Depression, the unemployment rate hit 25 percent." With ninety million Americans unemployed, the figures cited by the federal government are a fiction.
The only thing that can save America is an increase in our Gross Domestic Product (GDP), selling more goods and services, enabling an increase in employment, coupled with a vast reduction in the enormous governmental regulation of business. The vast taxation of Americans needs to be reduced in order to permit them to retain and spend their earnings, make investments, start new businesses. The annual GDP is now less than what the nation earns.
The "redistribution of wealth" is a totally communist concept and it is the intent of the Obama administration.
The future of the nation depends on the outcome of the 2014 midterm elections and control of Congress by as many conservative candidates and office-holders is essential. The RINOs, Republicans in name only, must be replaced.
In the meantime, I recommend you purchase and read "A Nation in the Red."
