Allen West, Another Republican Neo-Con

Allen West, Another Neo-Con 

Our 'neoconservatives' are neither new nor conservative, but old as Babylon and evil as Hell. -Edward Abbey, American author

And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 22:30-31

Allen West's Military Service

Allen Bernard West was born in Georgia, graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and then joined the United States Army in 1983. He was deployed to Kuwait in 1991, and Iraq in 2003. In 2003, West was charged in an incident that involved the beating and simulated execution of an Iraqi police officer. He was fined $5,000, accepted a Non-judicial punishment and after 20 years of service, was allowed to retire as a lieutenant colonel after an Article 32 hearing.

West made an agonizing moral decision to save his men from a likely ambush. To do so, he shot off a pistol next to the head of a suspect, forcing him to confess vital lifesaving intelligence. Col. West didn't do that to punish the man, but to save lives, and it worked. However, the military considered his actions to be harsh interrogation tactics.

West reported his actions to his superiors, and he had to know it would cost him his career. He very well could have ended up in prison as well as having the instance cost him personal agonies. Yet, he made the right decision and it saved his men.

In 2004, Col. West returned to Afghanistan as an adviser to the Afghan army, an assignment he finished in November 2007. During his Army career, he was honored many times, earning a Bronze Star, three Meritorious Service Medals, three Army Commendation Medals (one with Valor), and a Valorous Unit Award. He received his valor award as a Captain in Desert Shield/Storm, was the US Army ROTC Instructor of the Year in 1993, and was a Distinguished Honor Graduate III Corps Assault School.

West Runs for Congressman

In 2008, when Col. West ran for representative in Florida's 22nd Congressional District, he lost to Democrat Ron Klein.

West was one of 32 black Republican candidates for Congress in 2010. He said he supported the Tea Party movement and rejected the notion that the movement was motivated by racism, saying the accusation was a creation of liberal critics and the news media. West was described as a "tea party star." His stance on Islamic terrorists convinced many patriotic and conservative Americans to support him for Congress. He has even spoken out about Islamists infiltrating the military. He raised $5.4 million and stated that 97% of his donations came from individuals, and I was happy to be one of those individuals. I thought West was truly a Constitutional conservative, but once again, I was wrong.

Congressman West became a member of the congressional Tea Party Caucus in February 2011. 

However, the TP Caucus died a quick death and was all but defunct by 2012.

On February 1, 2012, West announced that he would run for reelection from the new 18th Congressional District, which consists of a majority of the previous 16th Congressional District. He had been redistricted. He received a primary challenge from Martin County Sheriff Robert Crowder, but won the primary. Crowder later endorsed Democrat Patrick Murphy, a political newcomer and a Republican until 2011. Unfortunately, West lost his re-election bid to Murphy, and it was not only because of being redistricted, but because he had lost his grassroots Tea Party support. Here is why he lost that support:

Allen West voted for the Pigford II farm payouts to non-existent black farmers against his constituents' wishes, and the TP people were quite angry about it. Allen apologized and admitted he didn't do his homework.

Allen West supported Speaker John Boehner's plan for cutting spending and raising the debt ceiling, even though his fellow Tea Party supporters were very skeptical. (Link) Cut Cap and Balance raised the debt limit against his constituents' wishes. (Link)

When Congressman West was interviewed on the Laura Ingraham show after the debt vote, Ingraham asked him how he felt about his Tea Party supporters being very angry at him for his vote. He actually answered her by calling his Tea Party supporters, "Schizos." (Video recording)

Allen West voted against cutting 100 Million from Obama care, against his constituents' wishes. (Link)

Allen West voted for the horrid NDAA and insists there is nothing in the bill that would allow military arrest and detention of American citizens. I've read the bill and hundreds of others have too. (Link) Allen West was on the NDAA committee. (Link) And why was there a provision that would allow the president to order the death of an American citizen without a trial? (Link) Again, this was against the wishes of his constituents.

Col. Allen West has capitulated on his anti-Islam stance. (Link) He wrote a letter to members of the Interfaith Alliance which was in contrast to his previous speeches stating his stance on Islamic terrorists.

These various votes cost West his Tea Party backing. Here's a link to West's Congressional voting record.

West's New CEO Position

On Tuesday, February 12, 2015, the Tea Parties in northern Texas hosted an event to welcome former Congressman Allen West to Texas. He has been named the CEO of the formerly conservative National Center for Policy Analysis, (NCPA) a national policy think tank based in Dallas. Since the libertarian Koch brothers gave the organization $570,000, the NCPA is singing a different tune. (The Koch brothers are planning to spend $1 billion on the election in 2016, partly for a Rand Paul presidency. (Link) David Koch is on the board of Trustees of Rockefeller University. He is also on the board of Earthwatch Institute, an environmental, sustainability, Agenda 21 group. See this map of Koch's many connections. David Koch also supports gay marriage and stem-cell research. He is also on the board of the globalist new age Aspen Institute formerly headed by new age environmentalist, and UN Agenda 21 author, Maurice Strong.) 

Under the "About" category in the NCPA website, you'll find dozens of their experts, and the first person listed is Bob McTeer, who is best known for his 36-year career with the Federal Reserve System, including 14 years as President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas and member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). 

Another expert is Estelle James, PhD, who is a consultant to the World Bank, USAID and other international organizations. Previously she was Lead Economist at the World Bank and Director of the Bank's flagship course on pension reform. She has also served on the Governing Board of the new pension fund in Kosovo and the President's Commission to Strengthen Social Security in the U.S.

Allen West Wrong on Nullification and Supremacy Clause

If Rand Paul Is So Pro Sovereignty, Why Does He Want to Prioritize the Globalists’ TPP?

Sir Dr. Ron, are you punishing your countrymen by throwing your son onto us? He is shameful. If this is a scheme to get him elected we're not in approval. Needs more detention time behind the woodshed.

This is a question for those among us who still believe that America can be “saved” by voting.

If you’ve already figured out a long time ago that both sides of the aisle are thoroughly corrupt, bought out puppets for banks and megacorporations, then you don’t even have to read this article unless you just want to see further proof than Rand Paul is exactly just such a puppet.

Protesters recently disrupted a senate hearing over the fast-tracking of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), waving banners that said things like “TPP FAST TRACK — JOB KILLING ACT” and screaming things like, “they’re going to ship more of our jobs overseas and lower our wages!!!”

NAFTA already helped facilitate a lot of that and we’ve been in a steady decline ever since. The TPP is NAFTA on steroids.
People are getting angry, restless. As the obscene wealth gap in this country continues to widen and the puppet masters running the show continue to clamp down on the plebs, this situation is only going to get worse for the majority of us.
The TPP, if you aren’t familiar, is no less than an all-out assault on our national sovereignty.

But I’m not the only one saying that. Here’s a summation from William F. Jasper of The New American:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership, or TPP, as it is called, is an all-out assault on our national sovereignty. It would unconstitutionally transfer legislative powers from the U.S. Congress, our state legislatures, and our city and county governments to multi-national corporations and unaccountable international bureaucrats at the World Trade Organization, or WTO. Incredibly, it also would transfer judicial powers from our federal and state courts — which are bad enough — to globalist TPP judges at regional tribunals and the WTO. It would also confer huge advantages on foreign businesses and large multinationals, while at the same time putting companies that operate here in America — especially small and medium-sized enterprises — at a competitive disadvantage. American businesses would remain shackled by the regulations of EPA, FDA, OSHA, etc. while their foreign competitors could operate here unimpeded by those same strictures.
Like the infamous NAFTA trade agreement passed in the ’90s, the TPP would usher in another wave of outsourcing, as the remaining manufacturing and technology bases would be given incentives to move to Pacific Rim countries, resulting in millions more American job losses. [emphasis added]

Hm. That doesn’t sound very good for the average American, does it? The elite behind it, however, who are pushing us all toward a New World Order, are rubbing their grimy little hands (hooves) together with glee at this.

By the way, it was crafted by these megacorporations and their lobbyists and interests in secret. The text wasn’t even allowed to be read by anyone (including Congress) until WikiLeaks leaked it all back in January 2014. Surely it’s been amended since.

Jasper also talks about how this is essentially working toward, what else? Global “governance” through a breakdown of control into “regional governance”:

The TPP and TTIP should be of special concern to Americans, since, as we shall detail presently, the authors and promoters of these agreements admit that they deal with far more than trade and have been designed to drag the United States into “regional governance” on a host of issues. The architects of the TPP and TTIP are virtually unanimous in their head-over-heels praise of, and support for, the political and economic merger taking place in the European Union (EU). The once-sovereign nations of Europe have been tricked, bribed, and browbeaten into yielding control over almost every aspect of their lives to globalist banking and corporate elites and their bureaucratic servitors in Brussels.

Just for icing on the crap cake that is this trade agreement, here’s a video from the Electronic Frontier Foundation about how the TPP is the “biggest threat to the Internet you’ve probably never heard of.”
The TPP is just more corporatist, globalist b.s. that will hasten our nation’s demise. Period.

Then again, that’s what free trade agreements have traditionally been. They are anything but “free” — more like sweetheart crony capitalist deals for select megacorporations (you know, the ones that essentially own all of our politicians in this country) under the guise of foreign policy which will further screw America over in a multitude of ways including killing even more of our jobs and widening the wealth gap even more.

In breaking down the specifics of the TPP’s dangers, Aaron Dykes over at Truthstream Media sums up these globalization tools well:

Globalization agreements, including the likes of GATT, WTO, NAFTA, CAFTA and other multilateral treaties, establish more than just trade between nations. Their deconstruction of trade barriers and tariffs are touted for creating cheaper goods, but often criticized for hurting farmers, small businesses, home-based industries, environmental factors and workers.

And the list, as it usually does, goes on and on.

SO THEN, if Rand Paul is really so pro freedom and national sovereignty as he claims, WHY then is he seen here giving a speech just a few months ago (which just so happened to coincide with the TPP ministerial meeting conducted October 19-24 in Sydney, Australia) urging Obama to prioritize the TPP by the year’s end?
Gee is it…because he’s another controlled opposition PUPPET?

That last question is rhetorical. There’s only one clear cut answer and I already know what it is.

But I’m not the only one. More people are catching on that this whole federal election game is totally rigged and no one even gets into the game unless they are selected. Because our presidents are all selected these days, not elected. Voting is just a stage show to make the American public (read: plebs) feel included when they cast a ballot between two false choices which will inevitably keep the oligarchy status quo as usual.

It was bad enough when Rand was just paling around with George P. Bush and going to secret powerbroker meetings with “Bush’s Brain” Karl Rove up on Mackinac Island… but this?


It’s treasonous. I wonder what his dad thinks.

Rand’s brand of fake tea party libertarian lite only fools people who are half asleep or are so desperate for hope and change they will lie to themselves. Hope and change didn’t work so well last time, did it? Well, it’s all fake “hope and change,” every four years. Stop buying it. Only people who don’t vote, as George Carlin would say, have a right to complain here.

Please wake up. We can’t vote our way out of this, America. The country is too far gone.

Rand Paul Tries to Have Journalist Fired for Daring to Ask Questions Unfriendly to Neoconservatives! - *video*

Not a "like father, like son" synergism here. Rand is NOT a principled libertarian like his father. We're afraid Rand is whatever the Republican neocon leadership tells him to be. Sorry folks. Best to dismount this one trick pony before you get the blame for his disobedience, and the cuddle pet of Mitch McConnell.

There is no greater evidence of the subversion of our political system from within than the corruption of our own elected bodies. As the son of America’s most honorable and moral political figure, Ron Paul, Rand is certainly to prove a traitor to his sworn oath, and a greater disappointment to his father. No, Americans have not "won" back the Senate with a Republican majority, they've surrendered even more of their honor, national security and freedom to an immoral class.

We can only conclude Doctor Rand has the same contempt for his Hippocratic Oath as he's shown towards his sworn oath to the US Constitution.

Establishment Terrified Tea Party Won't Back Unnecessary Wars

Rand Paul: Israel is "one friend that never leaves our side, has never wavered"

My sympathies go out to his Dad for his son's betrayal of Americanism. If this is an indication of GOP strategy to capture the White House in 2016, count us out.

In case you missed this absurd joke, the latest from yarmulke-wearing Rand Paul. On November 12, 2013 Rand Addressed Cadets at The Citadel in Charleston, S.C and gave these incredible comments:

"Amidst the chaos of the Middle East we have always had one friend that never leaves our side-Israel. As an ally, Israel has never wavered. One thing you can know for sure is you will never see an Israeli burning the American flag.
 

America has never backed down from a fight-but we should never be a nation that is eager to get involved in nations' conflicts that work against our own national security. President Eisenhower said: "I have one yardstick by which I test every major problem - and that yardstick is: Is it good for America?" Is our current foreign policy good for America? Is our involvement in Egypt, Syria and Pakistan to our benefit-or our detriment?"

Randy also babbled about "When we finally caught Osama Bin Laden, it was in Pakistan..."
 

The same day Rand gave the speech, Robert Wenzel of EconomicPolicyJournal.com reported that Rand "goes on an insane pro-Israel, militaristic tweeting binge."
 

Last summer, Rand admitted that he visits with Israeli groups daily. As for the claims about 'never burning the American flag,' I guess Rand has never heard of the USS Liberty.On June 8, 1967, 34 American sailors were slaughtered by Israel, along with their flag, which the Israelis shot down. As USS Liberty survivor John Hrankowski explained in an interview before his death, "As for our Flag. All American ships fly the flag. Ours was flying until the Israelis shot it down and within seconds another was put up. It was our holiday Ensign, sized 9 feet by 13 feet."

Sen. James DeMint, (R-SC): Nincompoop, Waffler & Police Statist

Vote Republican

by Laurence M. Vance

Recently by Laurence M. Vance: A Day of Dishonor

Review of Jim DeMint, Now or Never: Saving America from Economic Collapse (Center Street, 2012), xxix + 271 pgs., hardcover, $24.99.

Drug warrior, warmonger, and police statist Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) recently did an interview about his new book Now or Never in which he said: "A lot of the libertarian ideas that Ron Paul is talking about…should not be alien to any Republican." Okay, Jim, so why are they alien to you? They are obviously so alien to DeMint that he couldn’t endorse Ron Paul in the South Carolina Republican presidential primary. He didn’t endorse Ron Paul in 2008 either – he endorsed Mitt Romney. 

Meet Maine's New Governor

Published by Charleston Voice, 4.3.2012

This post is an e-mail we received alerting us to the integrity of Maine's new governor. It has special meaning to us as we grew up in Waterville. The governor's brief bio can be read here.

Meet Maine's New Governor --- In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in your mind!

The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his popularity goes up.

He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for your amusement."

During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the pre-election poll.

The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag, which brought him National exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP release.

He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning there on MLK Day.)

He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!

Smackdown! We Need More Like Him! - vid

Ms Hogan is CLUELESS, and is exhibit A for why she and people that think like her ARE the problem. None of them live in or deal with REALITY, only their silly Nanny State notions, which are ANTI-American, and Anti- Capitalism. They believe, they are doing good, they are terribly misguided and destructive to all America. They have to be DEFEATED ! Their ideas are IDIOTIC, fascist leaning, and totally lack any "common sense".
