Analyst's note:  Absolutely must read.  Aside from Gorelick being on the short list for Director of the FBI, and George Soros providing massive private funding for "national community organizing," we have Samantha Power's activities in the National Security Council?  Will someone please explain what Samantha Power's (Mrs. Sunstein) qualifications are to be conceiving and suggesting military actions that directly impact our national security and the ultimate deaths of our sons and daughters who are Warriors?  Does being the wife of Cass SunsteinObama Regulatory Czar (University of Chicago) provide that knowledge and experience -- I think not!  Cass Sunstein just wants to "nudge" our society toward socialism and other crazy ideas ... what could possibly go wrong with that idea? 

 

These are just some of the people now at the top of our federal government -- or associated with them --  who are trying to destroy America.  Just think "Top Down" - "Bottom Up" - "Inside Out".  From just one element reported in The Blaze about Stephen Lerner: "[....] About a week ago, big labor radical Stephen Lerner called upon ordinary Americans to default, en masse, on their loans: “If we organized homeowners in mass to do a mortgage strike….it would literally cause a new financial crisis for the banks.” What he then advocated was a campaign of deliberate loan default that he hopes will bring the banks to the “edge of insolvency.”

 

Are we really so stupid that we believe that our government is the sole source of our rights?  We are certainly seeing some weird people in high office within this administration.

Atlas Flashback: Posted at Atlas February 2008:

 

"So great to see Glenn Beck cover Atlas exposes that I posted years ago on his show yesterday. It took years and no credit, but I am thrilled that this critical news has made the light of day. And thanks to Beck for pointing to the abandonment of Israel -- also meticulously documented in The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (read it!)

My book has the whole story: 

Samantha Power

Some say, of course, that Barack Hussein Obama should not be held responsible for associations he made years or even decades ago. It’s unclear why that should be if he has never adequately renounced or repudiated these associations. But even if he has in some cases, as a candidate and as president he has surrounded himself with advisers who have distinguished themselves by their anti-Israel positions.

One Obama foreign policy adviser, Samantha Power, resigned from the Obama campaign team under fire in March 2008 after calling Hillary Clinton a “monster.” Obama never seemed fazed by her calling in a 2002 interview with Harry Kreisler of the Institute for International Studies at Berkeley for military action against Israel to secure the creation of a Palestinian state.[i]

Power said that establishing a Palestinian state would mean “sacrificing – or investing, I think, more than sacrificing – billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a mammoth protection force, not of the old Rwanda Book kind, but a meaningful military presence.” She said that this would “require external intervention.”

Many observers quite reasonably concluded that in this Power meant that the United States should invade Israel in order to secure the creation and protection of a Palestinian state. Confronted about this during the Obama presidential campaign, Power made no attempt to explain or excuse her statement: “Even I don’t understand it…This makes no sense to me….The quote seems so weird.” She assured supporters of Israel that she did not believe in “imposing a settlement.”[ii]

Power’s anti-Israel bias was not limited to that one statement. When the much-hyped “Jenin Massacre” of 2002 turned out to have been a Palestinian propaganda operation rather than an actual massacre, Power remained skeptical, saying at a conference funded by George Soros: “I was struck by a [New York Times] headline that accompanied a news story on the publication of the Human Rights Watch report. The headline was, I believe: ‘Human Rights Reports Finds Massacre Did Not Occur in Jenin.’ The second paragraph said, ‘Oh, but lots of war crimes did.’ Why wouldn’t they make the war crimes the headline and the non-massacre the second paragraph?” National Review’s Michael Rubin commented: “It is questionable whether any war crimes occurred in Jenin, except of course the war crimes associated with Palestinian assembly of suicide bombs which Palestinian terrorists — not uniformed officials — used to target civilians on buses and elderly in hotels. But, that does not seem to be what Samantha Power means.”[iii]

Indeed not. New Statesman noted in March 2008 that Power “has been fiercely attacked by bloggers objecting to her questioning the US’s axiomatic support for Israel on security matters. ‘So much of it is about: “Is he going to be good for the Jews?”’”[iv]

She didn’t explain what she found wrong with that question.

Yet despite all this, Barack Obama hired her first for his campaign team and then rehired her in November 2008 as part of his transition team for the State Department; then once in office, he appointed her to the National Security Council as Senior Director for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights. And August 2009 he demonstrated his confidence in Samantha Power yet again. The White House announced that she would “coordinate the efforts of the many parts of the U.S. government on Iraqi refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), including the Department of State, U.S. Agency for International Development, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Defense.”[v]
