Hypocrisy On Parade: Michelle Obama Praises Free Speech on China Trip That Banned Journalists
Via Michael
In a speech rife with political overtones, she lectured the Chinese:
So Michelle Obama lectures a communist police state about free speech standards, while Obama is busy spying on journalists and spurring the Democrats in the Senate to redefine who is allowed First Amendment Press and Speech Rights, while restricting access to information in the U.S.
There is no shame felt by those who think they are gods and gifts to mankind.
The White House banned journalists from accompanying Michelle Obama on her trip to China and explained that it was because the purpose of her trip is not political. Some news outlets even repeated the White House’s assertion of the non-political nature of the visit without mentioning that the press was not allowed to accompany them. So much for the “most transparent White House in history”.
In a speech rife with political overtones, she lectured the Chinese:
“And that’s why it’s so important for information and ideas to flow freely over the internet and through the media; because that’s how we discover the truth.”“Truth” is of course whatever the Obama regime says is “the truth”. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. If you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance.
So Michelle Obama lectures a communist police state about free speech standards, while Obama is busy spying on journalists and spurring the Democrats in the Senate to redefine who is allowed First Amendment Press and Speech Rights, while restricting access to information in the U.S.

Putin Will Pay Sanctions with Crimea's Gas Rights
Putin has committed to continuously send 30 to 40 billion rubles ($1 billion) in subsidies for the Crimea, including the commitment to lifting 560,000 Crimean pensioner payments from the Ukrainian average of $150 a month to Russia's minimum of $180. Crimean workers also expect that the monthly wage rate will rise over time from $270 as Ukrainians to the average of $660 as Russians.
*****************************
This week saw escalating rounds of ceremonial sanctions by the U.S. and European Union (EU) against Russia over its annexation of the Crimea, followed by escalating ceremonial sanctions by Russia against the U.S. and EU. But as President Obama looked petulant, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a huge Cheshire-Cat grin as he welcomed two million residents of the Crimea and their massive off-shore natural gas rights into Mother Russia.

YouTube Censors Mark Dice’s Channel
Dear @YouTube @YTCreators so I had this popular channel....55 million views, 265,000 subs, 3-5 million views a month...and you deleted it.
Media commentator and activist Mark Dice, whose channel
had 55 million views and 265,000 subscribers, had his account suspended
yesterday for what YouTube described as “severe terms of service
violations”. The channel was not deleted due to copyright issues.
The most popular videos on Dice’s channel lambasted
supporters of Barack Obama. Dice had built up a reputation for his ‘man
on the street’ videos which featured him getting Obama supporters to
sign petitions that called for a number of insane proposals, like
putting gun owners in concentration camps, killing newborn babies,
repealing the first amendment to silence criticism of Obama, and
granting Obama immunity from all crimes.
After Dice made a video drawing attention to the
censorship on his back-up channel, that too was deleted despite having
zero strikes against it. The channel was subsequently restored the next
day, but Dice’s main channel remains suspended. Attempts to get an
explanation for why the channel was deleted have proven fruitless.
Dice’s YouTube channel was also deleted after parent company Google gave some 200 government and police organizations “super flagger” powers, enabling them to flag up to 20 videos for review and possible removal.

"Do you have the courage to put your name on the same document that helped get Chief Harger fired?"
Here's Chief Harger in our group photo, front and center with a white shirt and cowboy hat.
We've all heard these famous last words; maybe we've even used them: "What's the worst that could happen?" Well, Police Chief Shane Harger of Jemez Springs, New Mexico (yes, it's a state) found out just what the worst is that could happen when he signed up for the recent CSPOA conference, held on January 24 in Las Vegas.
The
worst that could happen is, you get detained by airport security
because you are flagged as a potential terrorist due to your affiliation
with 'radical patriot groups.' Then, when you arrive home from the
conference after signing your name to possibly one of the most
significant documents you've seen in your life, you find out that you've
been fired - in fact your whole department has been shut down - due to your dangerous political affiliations.
Chief
Harger heard about the CSPOA through the grapevine and called us out of
the blue, just to find out more about the organization. It was just a
few weeks until the next convention, so after a personal discussion with
him we decided to invite him and one of his men to attend the
conference.
Once
at the event, we heard remarks from Chief Harger about what a relief it
was to know that there were other people like him out there who were
still willing to stand up for what's right in the face of looming
opposition. He was the one who made the statement we alluded to in a
previous newsletter, "I've been to a lot of conventions and meetings for
law enforcement, but I've never attended one that started with a
prayer. Right then I knew this was something different."
The
CSPOA has been in frequent communication with Chief Harger since the
event. CSPOA staff met with Chief Harger and his family in Utah over
the weekend recently for a little R & R and some intense meetings.
We had to ascertain if he indeed wants to fight this atrocity and to
find out if his wife is on board also. They both are! His wife is a
wonderful lady and their son is a very well mannered eight year old.
We plan to back the Hargers all the way and make an example of the TSA's tyranny and highly improper hiring standards!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do
you have the courage to put your name on the same document that helped
get Chief Harger fired? We hope you do, because the more people that
sign, the less they will be able to stop it!
Please
follow this link to read the resolution on our web site, where you can
see others who have signed and add your name to the list.
John Love, Bataan Death March survivor, dies at 91
Via WiscoDave
Love died Monday after a long battle with cancer, said Gerry Lightwine,
pastor at La Vida Llena, an Albuquerque retirement home where Love
lived.
As a 19-year-old member of the New Mexico Guard, Love was one of 75,000 Filipino and American soldiers who were taken captive by the Japanese in World War II when the U.S. forces surrendered in the province of Bataan and Corregidor Island in April 1942.

The only two foes to die in Russia's Crimea takeover are mourned together
Via Billy
In a room thick with the smoke of incense, beneath a glitter ball used in happier times, four shaven-headed Ukrainian soldiers stood to attention.
In a room thick with the smoke of incense, beneath a glitter ball used in happier times, four shaven-headed Ukrainian soldiers stood to attention.
They wore no caps, and sleeves of their blotchy camouflage coats bore the red
armbands of pall bearers, for between them lay a fifth soldier.
This was the guard of honour for Prapushik Sergei Kokorin, the first - and at
the time of writing only - Ukrainian
serviceman to die during the Russian invasion of Crimea.
Incongruously, the Ukrainian mourners were not alone. Next to them, four
bare-headed, pro-Russian Cossacks in formal blue uniforms stood their own
watch over Ruslan Kazakov - their own single casualty of this hitherto
bloodless annexation.
Both men were killed on Tuesday night during a murky incident at a Ukrainian
military installation in Simferopol.
