ATTENTION all future retirees: Why does Obama want your 401K ?

Why does Obama want your 401K ?
 Answer: He has mouths to feed.

Why the Government Wants to Hijack Your 401(k)

It's bad enough that we've been forced to bail out Wall Street. But now the Obama administration is hatching plans to raid our retirement savings, too.  ...continues here

The only recommendation I can come up with is to take all your 401K money and put it under your mattress...it will be safer there than in Obama's hands! ~ Storm'n Norm'n

Obama's Lies Have Quebec's Professional Journalists Fooled

by Norman E. Hooben

In an editorial titled "Working toward a government policy of openness" the Montreal Gazette submits a report from Quebec’s federation of professional journalists. In the report they have the following suggestion:
"If the government needs inspiration and guidance in the matter, the federation suggested, it should look to U.S. President Barack Obama, who has committed his administration to a policy of openness in governance based on transparency, public participation and collaboration."
Openness? Transparency? Public Participation? (I'm sure there was a lot of the latter during the health care debates! LOL! )  Who are these professional journalists?  Obama has the worst record of any president concerning these issues!  Rather than bore you with all of Obama's lies and deceptions lets go back to just his first year in office where his administration had an increase of 50% over George Bush regarding FOIA claims.  The following from CentristNet:
In a startling review issued today by the Associated Press regarding Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) requests, it was revealed that the Obama Administration substantially increased the use of so-called “exemptions” to disclosure under FOIA, effectively undermining the many rhetorical claims by President Barack Obama that his administration will be the “most open and transparent in history.” The AP explains the findings of its review:
WASHINGTON — The government’s use of legal exemptions to keep records secret rose during President Barack Obama’s first year in office, despite promises of increased openness, an Associated Press review found.
The review of annual Freedom of Information Act reports filed by 17 major agencies found that overall, the use of nearly every one of the open-records law’s nine exemptions to withhold information rose in fiscal year 2009, which ended last October.
Among the most frequently used exemptions: one that lets the government hold back records that detail its internal decision-making. Obama had directed agencies to stop using that exemption so frequently, but that directive appears to have been widely ignored.
Major agencies cited that exemption to refuse records at least 70,779 times during the 2009 budget year, compared with 47,395 times during President George W. Bush’s final full budget year, according to annual FOIA reports filed by federal agencies.
An increase of 23,384, a nearly 50% (49.34%) increase, in the amount of FOIA exemption claims in the first fiscal year of the Obama Administration versus the final fiscal year of the Bush Administration clearly demonstrates that President Obama has failed in his asserted quest to create an “unprecedented level of openness in Government.”... continues here
Quebec’s federation of professional journalists?   I don't think so...professional fools maybe!

What a find! ...a dozen or more Supermarine Spitfires buried in their shipping crates since 1945 !!!

Spits Buried Since 1945 Located in Myanmar

Preserved in crates, condition could be pristine

April 16, 2012 - A British farmer announced over the weekend that he has located a dozen or more Supermarine Spitfires buried in their shipping crates beneath Myanmar (Burma) since 1945. David Cundall, 62, told The Telegraph that he confirmed through radar imaging technology at least 12 and as many as 20 crated aircraft are buried some 40 feet underground. In February he saw the crates after sinking a camera through a borehole, and they appear to be in good condition.
Tecnam's new P2010His 15-year quest included 12 trips to Myanmar and more than £130,000 out of pocket as he searched for the airplanes. "It took me more than 15 years but I finally found them," Cundall told The Telegraph. "Spitfires are beautiful aeroplanes and should not be rotting away in a foreign land. They saved our neck in the Battle of Britain and they should be preserved."
Cundall said he first learned of the buried treasures in 1996 from a friend who had spoken with American construction battalion soldiers, who said, "We've done some pretty silly things in our time, but the silliest was burying Spitfires." That started Cundall's quest that included contacting Burma Campaign veterans and persuading the Myanmar government to locate the Spitfires.
He eventually met one eyewitness who drew maps and an outline of where the planes were buried and took him to the scene. "We realized that we were not searching deep enough as they had filled in all of these bomb craters which were 20 feet deep to start with," Cundall told pressdisplay.com. "I hired another machine that went down to 40 feet and after going back surveying the land many times, I found them."
The airplanes were shipped from the factory to the Burmese RAF base near the end of World War II, but were deemed surplus to requirements. Plus they were land-based planes and lacked the range for the "island-hopping" missions, as opposed to the carrier-based Seafires. Commanders ordered that the 12 Spitfires be buried while they were still in their transport crates to make sure they didn't fall into enemy hands.
About two weeks later, the United States dropped the atomic bombs on Japan, leading to the Japanese surrender in September. The Spitfires have remained underground ever since.
"They were waxed, wrapped in greased paper, and their joints tarred," Cundall said. "They will be in near perfect condition." It is also possible that in December 1945 eight more Spitfires were buried along with the original 12 for a potential 20 crated, pristine fighters.
A thread discussing the announced finding in the EAA Forums concurs to their likely preservation. Well-known Spitfire owner and pilot Bill Greenwood, EAA 198472/Warbirds of America 3339, posted:
"Just a guess, but those most likely are Mk XIVs, or Mk XVIs. If not then some foreign ones were a rarer Mk VIIIs. If they were new and crated when buried they were probably preserved in cosmoline (a rust preventative), maybe even wrapped in a oil type wax paper that I have seen some Merlin parts in; and they might be well preserved. At the least they would probably be great static museum displays, and some parts useable in any event. I'd like to have one ..."
"Can you imagine the market value of a brand factory new Spitfire, complete with all military parts (radio, guns, etc.), fresh factory Rolls engine, if they were found and had not deteriorated at all?"
British Prime Minister David Cameron is reportedly taken a personal interest in helping unearth and return the fighters back to the UK, reports defencemanagement.com. Cundall and his backers are now preparing for the estimated £500,000 excavation process with the aim of restoring as many of the aircraft as possible. The Daily Mail quoted a "Downing Street source" as saying that an agreement had been reached with the Myanmar government to allow the return of the planes.
Backers are the Boultbee Flight Academy based in Chichester, West Sussex, England, which was founded by enthusiast Steve Brooks. He will reportedly receive be one of the Spitfires.
The British government promised Cundall it would be making no claim on the aircraft, and that he would be entitled to a share in them.

Best Buy may you rest in peace (you friggin traitor!)

Whenever I hear of some attempt or suggestion to boycott some product or company I usually put little or no effort into satisfying the efforts of those at the helm...I take note of it and that's about it.
Now comes another boycott suggestion that if we all don't do something about it then we are lost as a nation.  It seems as the upper management of Best Buy cannot see the forest before the trees.  For anyone to sponsor the likes of CAIR (see below) they have to be as anti-American has Benedict Arnold or completely insane...there's no in between!  CAIR and all their connected groups have but one goal in mind and that is to destroy western culture, especially the American way of life.  For the honchos over at Best Buy they deserve to go out of business...in my own humble opinion, they should be run out of the country, tarred and feathered, and stripped of all their worldly goods and made to eat camel dung for the rest of their lives.
Why CAIR has been allowed to exist in this country is truly amazing.  We have traitors at the highest levels of government including the honcho in the White House...all of his best friends are members of some organization that favors the Muslim takeover of America.  Have you ever checked into the activities of CAIR or the Muslim Brotherhood?  They all love Obama and hate anything Christian or Jewish in origin...go ahead, try and dispute that! ~ Norman E. Hooben

Boycott Best Buy: Sponsors Hamas-CAIR's Annual Banquet
Action Alert: Boycott Best Buy. The Minnesota chapter of the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently listed Best Buy as a “Platinum Sponsor.” And Best Buy is sponsoring the annual banquet of the Minnesota chapter of Hamas-CAIR. Unconscionable. Imagine an American business sponsoring an annual banquet of Nazis in 1942.
Best Buy sponsors Hamas-linked Muslim group’s annual banquet Creeping April 18 2012 by creeping
Think again before buying your next flat-screen television or computing device from Best Buy.
The struggling retail giant recently used profits from American consumers to fund the annual banquet of a group closely linked to Hamas. The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently listed Best Buy as a “Platinum Sponsor.” Best Buy has refused to rule out future support for CAIR through numerous messages to its public relations department. The big box retailer is already in chaos amid the recent resignation of its CEO for personal misconduct, dwindling sales and bond downgrades.
The United States government named CAIR an “unindicted co-conspirator” to fund the terrorist group Hamas in America’s most significant terror financing trial. The U.S. also identified CAIR as an agent of the Muslim Brotherhood, sharing the common goal of dismantling American institutions and turning the U.S. into a Sharia-compliant, Islamic state through incremental, stealth jihad.
And that’s only the beginning. For all the details and links, see the bullet points below — after the jump at the bottom of the post.
Utterly outrageous, yes. But outrage is not enough. Action is required. The Goal is a commitment from Best Buy to never again use profits from American consumers to finance Islamic radicals.
Here is how you can make a difference:
    • If you don’t like the idea of your consumer electronics, software and appliance dollars going to fund groups aligned with Hamas and pledged to turning America into a Sharia-compliant, Islamic state, write and/or call Best Buy and let them know. Best Buy Public Relations Department: 612-292-NEWS (6397) or NewsCenter@bestbuy.com.
    • Feel free to use/copy/paste the bullet points below. But try to put it in your own words and make it personal. Share any responses from Best Buy with us at islamist-watch@meforum.org.
  • Tell your friends and family about Best Buy and about Islamist Watch. If they join our mailing list (link at top of Islamist-Watch.org), they’ll receive future action alerts and can help make a difference.
Here are the details on CAIR: (below fold)
    • Current CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper was quoted as saying: “I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future. … But I’m not going to do anything violent to promote that. I’m going to do it through education.”
    • Senator Charles Schumer (Democrat, New York) described CAIR in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing as an organization “which we know has ties to terrorism.” FDCH Political Transcripts, Sept. 10, 2003.
