.........Russia will be holding an international conference on the Syrian Civil War. The conference’s goal is “to exert pressure on the US and some Arab states to stop their growing financial and arms support for terrorists in Syria”.

Strange that a terrorist can also be considered a rebel or freedom fighter depending on the perspective. Our perspective is formed by the media and the government. It is hard to believe that the Muslim Brotherhood/Al Qaeda rebels in Syria are not terrorists, but freedom fighters that need our support. It appears that the United States is about to become involved in yet another war (or kinetic action) just in time to become a campaign issue and distract us from the economic collapse. Obama has become embroiled in a no win scenario in Syria and I seriously doubt that Hillarious Clinton is up to this challenge. No more easy button for her.

Obama Is Losing A Stunning Amount Of African-American Support In North Carolina

President Barack Obama is rapidly losing support among African-American voters in North Carolina, a new poll out today from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling shows.

The poll finds that Mitt Romney would get 20 percent of the African-American vote if the election were held today, compared with 76 percent for Obama. Overall, Romney has a 48 percent to 46 percent lead on Obama in the crucial swing state.

Obama received 95 percent of the support from African-Americans in North Carolina in the 2008 election, compared with just 5 percent for Republican nominee John McCain.

Public Policy Polling

In PPP's May poll, Obama received 87 percent of the African-American vote to Romney's 11 percent.

All of Obama's numbers with African-Americans are sliding. His approval rating is down from 86 percent to 77 percent. Romney's favorability, meanwhile, has doubled from 9 percent to 18 percent.

Death of Governor John W. Ellis

Death of Governor John W. Ellis

“I am trying to do my duty -- & be sure that I understand too well ever to make an unnecessary….risk of the life which belongs to my family as well as myself.”
[Colonel] Charles F. Fisher to his sister, July 17, 1861.

On July 3, 1861, the [Sixth North Carolina] regiment was officially transferred to the service of the Confederate States. This probably meant an early transfer to the seat of war in Virginia. The men entrained without incident on July 8 for Raleigh, passing through Hillsboro to the cheers of “a large portion of the ladies and citizens of the town, and many from the country around,” who had assembled at the depot to see them pass.

Upon arrival at Raleigh, the men received the sad news. Governor [John W.] Ellis had died “on the 7th inst, at the Red Sulphur Springs Va.” Fisher was directed to….”detail two companies of your Regt under Major [Charles E.] Lightfoot, for the purpose of proceeding to Petersburg to escort the body to this place.”

The remainder of the regiment was ordered to remain in Raleigh to be held “in readiness “ to form the funeral escort. These were sad beginnings for an illustrious career. Lieutenant Colonel [William T.] Dortch was ordered to go to Tarboro to “accompany Mr. Clark here.” The last honors to North Carolina’s deceased governor had to be carried out even though Confederate President Jefferson Davis had been informed that the regiment would be at Richmond “ten days ago.”

Henry T. Clark, North Carolina’s new governor, assured Confederate Secretary of War Leroy P. Walker that the regiment “will leave tomorrow and will be subject to your orders and is now formally tendered.”

At 9:30 A.M. on July 10 the remains of Governor Ellis, escorted by Company B and C of the Sixth Regiment, arrived at the depot of the North Carolina Railroad in Raleigh. The governor’s body was “removed from the cars and escorted to the Capitol by the military guard,” where the State flag was placed over the coffin. The Raleigh Register described the funeral procession:

“At 10 o’clock the procession moved from the south gate of the Capitol down Fayetteville Street to the Executive Mansion, in the following order: Brigadier General Gwynn, State Troops commanding, aided by Captain A.D. Moore. 1st Music, 2nd, Sixth Regiment of Infantry, Col. Fisher, 3rd. Ellis Light Artillery, Maj. Ramseur, 4th, Hearse with the body, 5th. Pall Bearers, 6th Reverend Clergy, 7th Surgeon General and Medical Staff, 8th, Family and relations of deceased, 9th, Governor of State, 10th Speaker of House of Commons, 11th, Officers of the Executive Departments….

On the morning of the 11th “about 8 o’clock”….the coffin was escorted from the mansion to the North Carolina Railroad….deposited on the train, and sent to the Ellis family burying ground near Holtsburg, Davidson County. While these obsequies were in progress, the business places in Raleigh were closed and private homes were draped in mourning.

The public buildings in Raleigh “and the statue of Washington on the Capitol Square” were also draped. All flags were lowered to half-mast, bells tolled, and “half-hour guns fired during the day by a detachment of the Wilmington Light Artillery.” Read more at http://www.ncwbts150.com/RegimentsDefendOldNorthState.php

Communist Defector Speaks Out on America’s Marxist Future

Via Western Rifle Shooter's Association

A top communist defector is warning of an unprecedented “alliance” between the Democratic Party and the Communist Party, reflected in the CPUSA’s endorsement of Barack Obama for president in 2008 and the party’s continued support for Democratic Party policies. But is this warning going to be too hot to handle for the media? And the Republicans?

Lt. Gen. Ion Mihai Pacepa, the highest-ranking official ever to have defected from the former Soviet bloc, says in an article ^[1] for PJMedia that any doubt that the Democratic and the Communist parties had secretly joined forces was erased in 2009, “when Van Jones, part of a left fringe of declared communists, became the White House’s green jobs czar.”

Obama aide Valerie Jarrett had disclosed at a left-wing bloggers convention that “we,” apparently referring to herself and President Obama, had hired Jones for the job. However, Jones was fired when an outcry developed over his communist background, and the media quickly dropped any probes into Jones’ White House contacts.

Pacepa, who served as a top aide in the Romanian communist regime, tells Accuracy in Media, “The Democratic Party has become dangerously infected with the Marxism virus. I recognize the symptoms because I once lived through them, and I believe it is my obligation as an American citizen to help the conservative movement to prevent any further spread of Marxism in my adopted country.”

He adds that he is personally convinced that Obama is a Marxist.

Golden Dawn threatens hospital raids against immigrants in Greece

In an atmosphere that has become increasingly electric before Greece's crucial election, the far-right Golden Dawn has ratcheted up the rhetoric by threatening to remove immigrants and their children from hospitals and kindergartens.

Earning loud applause at an election campaign rally in Athens, Golden Dawn MP Ilias Panagiotaros said: "If Chrysi Avgi [Golden Dawn] gets into parliament [as polls predict], it will carry out raids on hospitals and kindergartens and it will throw immigrants and their children out on the street so that Greeks can take their place."

Medical supplies and beds at some hospitals are running desperately short. The governor of the state-run Nikea hospital, Theodoros Roupas, called on doctors to stop non-essential surgical interventions because of a critical shortage of gloves, syringes and gauze. The order was revoked when Roupas found emergency supplies later in the day.

"The situation is really critical and getting worse every day," said Dr Panaghiotis Papanikolaou, a neurosurgeon at the hospital. "There is not enough medical staff to cope and huge shortages of supplies. There's no money to even service scanners and surgical microscopes … we're talking about a major healthcare crisis – not in the making, it is happening now."

Sheriff Joe Strikes Back: Asks Court to Dismiss Eric Holder DOJ’s Lawsuit

Via Don

Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s attorneys have filed a “Motion to Dismiss” in response to Eric Holder’s ridiculous lawsuit alleging racial discrimination by the Sheriff and his deputies against “Latinos” through their enforcement of existing Federal immigration laws.

Arpaio’s lawyers have called on a Federal court in Phoenix to dismiss the DOJ’s lawsuit, in a 23-page response, asserting that Holder failed to back his claims with “sufficient statistical evidence.” Such evidence is required in Federal discrimination lawsuits, and the DOJ has provided none.

The filing also asserts that the DOJ has no ability to even sue the sheriff’s office “because it is a nonjural entity incapable of suing or being sued,” and asked for the sheriff’s office to be dismissed as a defendant. This claim seems well-grounded in case law, and would provide a major hurdle for Holder & Co. if the judge agrees with Arpaio’s claim.

Fear That Kills

RegT on June 12, 2012 at 10:01 pm said:

As a former peace officer, I will correct you on the behavior of the LVPD cops: they were not afraid of the man with the gun. One on one, they would be, but not when they respond in force. The killing of Eric Scott happened because there are too many cops – and apparently, it is an even bigger problem in Las Vegas – who want to get the chance to kill someone.

Any opportunity to do so under the illusion of “defending” themselves against a man with a gun is Christmas for them. It’s a freebie, where they know they can get away with murder and never be held accountable. They get to shoot to kill without cost to themselves. They get the “thrill” of being the bad-ass gun-fighter, the SWAT warrior.

Just like the scumbag cop who leaned in – after all the other SWAT “heroes” had finished filling him full of lead – and fired his pistol at the prostrate form of Jose Guerena’s dying body.

When I worked at San Diego PD as a police officer, we called these guys “felony cops”. They were the guys who would ignore the radio, ignore other officers who needed assistance with a car accident or a domestic violence call, and only respond to robberies, burglaries where the perp was believed to still be on scene, or any other call where they would have the chance to draw their gun and maybe get to take a shot at a “bad guy”. It didn’t matter whether he was really bad or just a victim of someone’s suspicions of him doing something wrong.

These are also the same guys who fought to get on SWAT. Not only could they get a chance to kill someone, they could do it with cool tools, HK MP5′s, M4′s, or a sniper rifle.

It’s not about fear, really. It’s about killing – not in self-defense, but as homicide, as murder. And since it is pre-meditated, since they plan on doing what they have to in order to get a chance to do it, it is indeed murder in the first.
