    Napolitano releases deceptive terrorism report, says legal watchdog
    Feb. 6

    Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano’s latest contribution this week to the protection of Americans appears to ignore [DOES!]the most deadly and destructive groups on the planet — Islamic terrorists — say security and law enforcement experts.

    A Department of Homeland Security report released on February 2 compares terrorism to “ordinary crime” in metropolitan U.S. cities and omits the radical Islamic factor, instead finding “significant variability in the ideologies motivating terrorist attacks across decades.”

    This appears to be part of the Obama Administration’s Muslim outreach effort, which includes hiring a special Homeland Security adviser Mohamed Elibiary who supports a radical Islamist theologian and renowned jihadist ideologue

    The Obama Justice Department also created a special Muslim Engagement Advisory Groupto foster greater communication, collaboration and a new level of respect between law enforcement and Muslim and Arab-American communities, according to officials at the non-partisan watchdog group, Judicial Watch.

    Some interesting charts, and only one reference to Muslims – one. A study by a grant from Homeland Security. In their charts – 9/11 is not mentioned! I guess that is no longer considered terrorism! But have you heard about the Mormon extremists?

    Geithner to Ryan: White House Has No ‘Definitive Solution’ to Debt Crisis…And We Don’t Want Yours!
    Feb. 17 snips

    Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told the House Budget Committee Thursday that President Obama’s fiscal year 2013 budget – “the most expensive in United States history” – would “put the U.S. on an ‘unsustainable’ course if enacted,” reports The Washington Free Beacon.

    Geithner also told Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) that although the Obama administration doesn’t have a “definitive solution” to the debt crisis, it definitely knows it doesn’t like the Republican alternative.

    “Leaders are supposed to fix problems. We have a $99.4 trillion unfunded liability. Our government is making promises to Americans that it has no way of accounting for. And so you’re saying, yeah, we’re stabilizing it but we’re not fixing it in the long run. That means that we’re just going to keep lying to people,” Rep. Paul Ryan said. “We’re going to keep all these empty promises going … You’re showing that you have no plan to get this debt under control. You’re saying we’ll stabilize it but then it’s just going to shoot back up. And so my argument is, that’s Europe. That is bringing us toward a European debt crisis,” he added.

    Wasn’t there a similar story about a year ago? Then there was no news on the “investigation.”

    Italy Confiscates $6 Trillion in Fake US Bonds
    February 17, 2012 (AP)

    MILAN – Authorities in Switzerland have confiscated $6 trillion in counterfeit U.S. bonds at the request of Italian prosecutors, authorities said Friday. In Italy, eight people were arrested across the country and placed under investigation for fraud and other crimes.

    The bonds, carrying the false date of issue of 1934, had been transported in 2007 from Hong Kong to Zurich, where they were transferred to a Swiss trust, according to prosecutors in the southern Italian city of Potenza. Authorities said that U.S. officials had confirmed the bonds were counterfeit. Prosecutors said the fraud had not been completed, but that it appeared that the suspects intended to try to sell the fake bonds to a developing nation, directly or through an intermediary bank.

    Recently, Carabinieri carrying out a routine search at a highway rest stop found a briefcase containing $20 billion in fake bonds.

    “The pronunciation with the vowels suggested in the Masoretic Text. Some scholars suggest alternative pronunciations.”

    I know that some scholars suggest alternative pronunciations, but the proof is in the pudding. It has already been proven the pronunciation. It is misunderstood to require vowel points, which the vowel points were not even invented until around the 6th century A.D. (C.E.) The letters making up the sacred name are semi-vowel letters. We have similar letters in English, i.e., Y and W. These letters can be used as either vowels or consonants. Even the Jewish priest, Josephus, while not speaking the name, even though he knew the name but being as he was a Pharisee, followed the ineffable name doctrine, states this:
    “His (the priest’s) head was covered with a tiara of fine linen, wreathed with blue, encircling which was another crown, of gold, whereon were embossed the sacred letters, to wit, FOUR VOWELS (phonhenta tessara)”
    See Josephus, Wars, 5:5:7 (235f). And if you’re interested in the translation of the Greek word phonhenta, I can offer which translations have it. That is in reference to Josephus writing about Exodus 28:1-43.

    And there’s tons of evidence on the pronunciation. Yahweh is not going to give a commandment, meaning the 3rd commandment (needs proper translation), telling that we must call upon his name, then allow it to be forgotten.

    Click to access sn09Chap.pdf

    That is entitled “Is the correct pronunciation known?”

    Next, I have witnessed throughout the years that people think that Yahushua (aka Jesus) followed the religion of the Pharisees (i.e., Judaism). Not so. Yahushua followed the religion of the OT. He did not follow the ineffable name doctrine, which is a man-made false doctrine, not did he follow any of the so-called oral traditions. Again, man-made doctrines. He was against the fence they built around the Torah. I.e., they had like 39 additional laws surrounding the sabbath which created a burden on mankind.

    The Pharisees didn’t even come about until around the time of the Seleucid king who was named Antiochus Epiphanes in about 175-164 B.C.E, sometime after that. Before that, the sacred name was commonplace in Galilee and also in Judaea.

    The Scriptures say to call upon Yahweh’s name. It says not to blaspheme the sacred name.

      Alfy,
      I had a little book that has an important reference in it that I can’t find, but this link has it. Understand that I am not anti-semetic. For example, Yahushua was a Jew, his followers were Jews, but he was against the false teachings of the Pharisees, which they were Jews too. He wasn’t against them being Jews, just that religion. Anyway, I found this link, which was a small note in a book that I had of Talmud references. BTW, the sacred name was in the NT books at one time. And it’s in the Hebrew book of Hebrews that Sebastian Munster obtained from some Jewish Christians, and the book of Matthew.
      http://www.jacksonsnyder.com/yah/history/rabbis-desecrate-hebrew-nt.htm

      “In the Talmud, the rabbis discuss how to PROPERLY BURN WITH FIRE the gospels, but some rabbis are hesitant to do so because the gospels (or the an Gilyon, the same word for gospel in the Talmud as it appears in the Aramaic Peshitta of Mark 1:1, another hint that the Peshitta is the original) used the true Divine Name of Yahweh and some felt that burning the gospels WITH THE TRUE NAME is a greater mitzvah or good deed then somehow cutting out the sacred Name before burning them. I have this documented from Babylonian Talmud Shabbat 116 A, Jerusalem Talmud Shabbat 15C and the Tosefta Shabbat 13:5.You can look it up. Here is the reference with footnotes:

      The following comes from Talmud Shabbat 116A. In this discussion several rabbis are discussing when a Torah scroll can be burned if damaged or defiled. The general consensus is that even in scrolls that have damaged or blank spaces must not be burned. Then the topic comes around to the scrolls or the GILYON or blank spaces in the Books (plural) of the Minim or (Nazarene heretics) and how they should be handled. The word GILYON means gospel or good tidings. So the issue here is the places in the gospels (BOOKS OF THE MINIM) that contain the Divine Name. HOW SHOULD THOSE HERETICAL BOOKS BE HANDLED? SHOULD THEY BE BURNED?”

      ***
      “Vince Foster oversaw covert money laundering by Systematics.”
      – J. Orlin Grabbe
      ***
      In case you aren’t familiar with Systematics, Inc., they are pioneers in core banking technology. The company was founded, in Little Rock, and is at the core of some of the biggest controversies and conspiracies in American political history. With regard to his disinformative theory on Vince Foster’s death – which is not without some value – J. Orlin Grabbe wrote the following on Systematics:

      “Systematics has had close ties to the NSA and CIA ever since its founding, sources say, as a money-shuffler for covert operations. It is no secret that there were billions of dollars moving around in ‘black’ accounts–from buying and selling arms to the Contras, Iran, Iraq, Angola and other countries to paying CIA operatives and laundering money from clandestine CIA drug dealing. Having taken over the complete computer rooms in scores of small U.S. banks as an ‘outsource’ supplier of data processing, Systematics was in a unique position to manage that covert money flow. Sources say the money was moved at the end of every day disguised as a routine bank-to-bank balancing transaction…”

      Mr. Grabbe theorized that banking spies disguised as lowly computer programmers, might have been employed to keep a back door open for prying eyes. Bill and Hillary Clinton were caught in bed with Systematics, throughout the investigations into Vince Foster’s death. Hillary Clinton was an attorney with the Rose Law Firm which represented Systematics, during the 1970s and 1980s. Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster were also connected to a conspiracy theory involving drug smuggling and the CIA, which operated out of a little airport in Mena, Arkansas.

      In fact, the Bushes have their own name attached to the Mena, Arkansas drug-running scandal, too.
      *ahem*
      Did I mention that Barrack Obama’s uncle, Cecil “Max” Goeldner, from Arkansas, was a lowly computer DATABASE programmer with Systematics, Inc., in Little Rock and South Bend, Indiana?
      No?
      He joined the Systematics team, in 1977.

      And he’s a licensed pilot.

      So, how do I know that these revelations are important and not just some tragic coincidence?

      Because they were kept secret until after the 2008 election had safely passed.
      ***
      On November 12, 2008, the Arkansas News Media reported the following after asking Cecil’s wife, Virginia Dunham Goeldner, half-sister of Stanley Armour Dunham, why she didn’t tell too many people about her relationship to Barrack:

      Goeldner said she told only a few close friends about her nephew, for fear that someone might do something that would hurt his chances to get elected. Now that the story is getting out, she said, residents of Maumelle are usually surprised, but the response has been mostly positive.

      The Arkansas News Media, then went on to vet Barrack Obama, briefly, when they reported:

      Cecil Goeldner worked for Boeing for years near his Wichita farm. He said he became interested in computers in the early 1960s and became a computer programmer. In fact it was computers, or the former Alltel division once known as Systematics, that brought them to Arkansas.

      However, it wasn’t until Tracy Crain, Managing Editor at TulsaToday, published an article, on June 27, 2009, that Cecil’s pilot license was mentioned…and we finally learned about Barrack Obama’s cousins, from Saudi Arabia:

      In time, Cecil distinguished himself as a pilot and later as an employee of a company called Systematics, now known as Alltel, where he installed some of the first data processing machines/automated banking programs. He worked there for 30 years. He then retired…

      …Virginia and Cecil met at the Boeing plant in Kansas. The two married in Wellington and had three children: One child died at the age of three and a half to cancer. That left daughter Debi, known as Laya,” [sic, Layla] and son, Kevin. Cecil and Virginia moved to Arkansas with Cecil job after the children had finished school. The Goeldners’ describe Debi as an honor student who attended the same college that her grandfather did in Lawrence, KS. As indicated in an earlier article on Lawrence, Kansas, published in Tulsa Today, Vice Mayor of Lawrence, Rob Chestnut, describes the community as one of the best small art and music towns in America, with the greatest population of artists in the United States.

      A linguistics major, Debi worked as a professor at the college in Lawrence, teaching foreign students English. “One of the students Debi taught became her husband, an Engineering student from Saudi Arabia on scholarship. He graduated a year before she did,” Virginia said. “Debi’s main emphasis was the Arabic language. She moved to Saudi Arabia with her husband after graduation, where she lives today with their five children.

      As it turns out, Uncle Cecil has his own history with Saudi Arabia personally installing core banking systems for Systematics, Inc. in Saudi banks:

      Throughout his career, [Cecil] traveled extensively to places such as Greece, England, and Puerto Rico. “I was the first technical person our clients saw. As soon as I acquired a check, I was the one to make new systems operable. The National Bank of Greece was our first client,” he recalls. “There was another trip, this one to Saudi Arabia, that he speaks of in detail. No one wanted to go there, but I agreed to,” he said.

      And, J. Orlin Grabbe had a place for Saudi Arabia, within his Vince Foster theory, too:.

      “Systematics’ money-laundering role for the intelligence community might help explain why Jackson Stephens tried to take over Washington-based Financial General Bankshares in 1978 on behalf of Arab backers of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International. BCCI’s links to global corruption and intelligence operations has been well documented, though many mysteries remain..

      Of course, there are also the Saudi Arabian ambassador guards that didn’t hear a gunshot, on the night that Vince Foster was shot in the head, in the park across the street from the ambassador’s residence.

            morning. yeah, kelly/kelli was listed with the Goeldner name,just left it off. You know people don’t seem to ever get the connection to Boeing. I am not sure why or how many are connected, but there are many… jewish connections, Rothschilds, dunhams,Rockefeller in a roundabout way, Even Glenn Beck . Well anyway Boeing is probably still some way in the mix. Goeldner’s son with Lockheed Martin. General Dynamics….military industrial complex and so on.Lots of Ashkenazi relationships with this family as well.Hmm. Now Miss Tickley makes a good connection to Saudis with Obama’s family.

              The connection was known long ago. We reported on the Maumelle stories long ago. It’s nothing NEW to us or to many others.

              Who never gets the connection to Boeing? You can see the name of a corporation a hundred times…but it comes down to who at that giant enterprise was involved. The Who is what one has to find along with the how were they involved. The same with Lockheed Martin or any other corporation that is thrown out there. There are thousands of employees, so it is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are hundreds of contracts with the government and other entities, they all get financing which will bring up banks with again thousands of employees, or major investors.

            I noticed the connection Tickly found too. I will be adding it. Remember Grandious Greer Allen we found before ? That goes to the Kelli Dunham- ALLEN remember ? Also do not forget that Allen goes to GARDNER and Paul Allen. Paul…like Soros-ORoss…Diana is a main part of the club scene. Smith..

            annabels’ .the stewart name stuart/steward goes back to Mary queen of Scotts who formally named herself Stuart because the French of which she had ties did not pronounce the W well. This name before was Steward and not really a last name a time before last names became common use…such was the name /Fritz/Fitz-Allen and so on with the Fitzgerald name….the Fitz Allen name was part of this same hierarchy before last names were in common use . Just thought I’d throw that into your Allen /Stewart/stuart stuff

            Boeing, I see I made a rather nebulous statement about boeing, but really I was thinking more about the Goeldners , and may the Dunhams were doing more at Boeing than just a little light work. I was thinking along the lines of infiltrators, economic or some other type espionage. Infiltrators of some sort. Certainly only a speculation, but then there’s alot of questions about Stanley Dunham and his true origins. Then I think of that weird photo of Mrs. Madeline…where she reminds me of a commie spy.Or I think were they loyal to Rockefellers,via Rothschilds and their controls on Boeing and Standard oil and banks. I know I’m just still thinking very nebulous but somehow all of thems jobs seem relative and Boeing seems to be one of the common denominators with these people. That’s all.

      I have still not had the time to read it, and was passing it along to get the opinions of others here. I’m glad you had a chance to read it, but I’m concerned if other people were wrongly accused. It’s such a challenge just getting to the TRUTH, and I think Obama likes it that way.

      I boil the whole thing down to this either/or/and…

      If the “Obama birth narrative” is 100% true, then he was born both a natural born subject of the British crown and a native born U.S. citizen… but not a natural born U.S. citizen. A person who was born after the adoption of the Constitution, and is not a natural born U.S. citizen, is not eligible to hold the office of President.

      If the “Obama birth narrative” is not 100% true, then it is possible that he was born on U.S. soil to two U.S. citizen parents, and therefore a natural born U.S. citizen, but if that is the case then he is also guilty of fraud, forgery, perjury, obstruction of justice, etc., and could be impeached for those high crimes and misdemeanors.

      Obama is either a usurper or fraud. (Or both). Either way, he should not be serving as President.

        We’re concerned about the accusations, too, Red Pill. We don’t want our blog to be used as a sounding board or “echo chamber” (to coin a phrase). Miss Tickly has a blog; she can open up comments and take them there. IMHO.
