Montanans Launch Recall of Senators Who Approved NDAA Military Detention

Quote - President Obama — himself holds heinous views on a slew of critical issues and himself has done heinous things with the power he has been vested.

He has slaughtered civilians — Muslim children by the dozens — not once or twice, but continuously in numerous nations with drones, cluster bombs and other forms of attack.

He has sought to overturn a global ban on cluster bombs.

He has institutionalized the power of Presidents — in secret and with no checks — to target American citizens for assassination-by-CIA, far from any battlefield.

He has waged an unprecedented war against whistleblowers, the protection of which was once a liberal shibboleth.

He rendered permanently irrelevant the War Powers Resolution, a crown jewel in the list of post-Vietnam liberal accomplishments, and thus enshrined the power of Presidents to wage war even in the face of a Congressional vote against it.

His obsession with secrecy is so extreme that it has become darkly laughable in its manifestations, and he even worked to amend the Freedom of Information Act (another crown jewel of liberal legislative successes) when compliance became inconvenient.

He has entrenched for a generation the once-reviled, once-radical Bush/Cheney Terrorism powers of indefinite detention, military commissions, and the state secret privilege as a weapon to immunize political leaders from the rule of law.

He has shielded Bush era criminals from every last form of accountability.

He has vigorously prosecuted the cruel and supremely racist War on Drugs, including those parts he vowed during the campaign to relinquish — a war which devastates minority communities and encages and converts into felons huge numbers of minority youth for no good reason.

He has empowered thieving bankers through the Wall Street bailout, Fed secrecy, efforts to shield mortgage defrauders from prosecution, and the appointment of an endless roster of former Goldman, Sachs executives and lobbyists.

He’s brought the nation to a full-on Cold War and a covert hot war with Iran, on the brink of far greater hostilities.

He has made the U.S. as subservient as ever to the destructive agenda of the right-wing Israeli government.

His support for some of the Arab world’s most repressive regimes is as strong as ever.

The Kennedy half dollars were the last regularly-circulated U.S. coins containing any silver

On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy's order gave the Treasury the power "to issue silver certificates.
Kennedy also wanted Israel to allow inspection of it's nuclear facilities

So the Jewish bankers had him publicly killed, canceled the treasury order and made the Kennedy Half Dollar the last US silver based currency

The Hollywood Shooting Hero Is Christopher Johns

Christopher Johns is a movie producer at the hub of dubious conspiracy theories surrounding the incident.
You clearly hear the shooter asking Johns if he has any more ammo. Why would he do that unless he was acting a part? And who was the guy wearing the headphones at the scene?

This is covered by Adam Curry in the first half of this podcast - NA-364-2011-12-11

Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor

Drawing on twenty years of research and access to scores of previously classified documents, Stinnett proves that Pearl Harbor was not an accident, a mere failure of American intelligence, or a brilliant Japanese military coup.
By showing that ample warning of the attack was on FDR's desk and, furthermore, that a plan to push Japan into war was initiated at the highest levels of the U.S. government, he ends up profoundly altering our understanding of one of the most significant events in American history.
