	Archives: February 2010 Globalist Perry Wins Texas Primary (March 3, 2010) http://www.infowars.com/globalist-perry-wins-texas-primary/ Medina’s campaign suffered a lethal blow after she was attacked by Glenn Beck, who characterized her as a 9/11 truther. Medina spent the rest of the campaign engaged in damage control. The Black Hole of Guantanamo (March 2, 2010) http://www.campaignforliberty.com/article.php?view=658 When it comes to dealing with the thorny question of how to close Guantanamo, the remaining prisoners have been caught between two competing systems since President Obama took office last January, and the result, to put it mildly, has been confusing. Rat Out a Tax Cheat, Collect a Reward (March 1, 2010) http://finance.yahoo.com/taxes/article/108952/rat-out-a-tax-cheat-collect-a-reward?mod=taxes-advice_strategy As tax season nears, we all want to get as much money back from the IRS as possible. And while taking advantage of this year’s new tax breaks will put some extra money in your pocket, snitching on a tax cheat could make you rich. Ralph Nader Was Right About Barack Obama (February 28, 2010) http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/ralph_nader_was_right_about_barack_obama_20100301/ Obama lies as cravenly, if not as crudely, as George W. Bush. He promised us that the transfer of $12.8 trillion in taxpayer money to Wall Street would open up credit and lending to the average consumer. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC), however, admitted last week that banks have reduced lending at the sharpest pace since 1942. As a senator, Obama promised he would filibuster amendments to the FISA Reform Act that retroactively made legal the wiretapping and monitoring of millions of American citizens without warrant; instead he supported passage of the loathsome legislation. He told us he would withdraw American troops from Iraq, close the detention facility at Guantánamo, end torture, restore civil liberties such as habeas corpus and create new jobs. None of this has happened. Abuse of Power (February 27, 2010) http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704625004575089362731862750.html A string of electoral defeats and the great unpopularity of ObamaCare can't stop Democrats from their self-appointed rendezvous with liberal destiny—ramming a bill through Congress on a narrow partisan vote. What we are about to witness is an extraordinary abuse of traditional Senate rules to pass a bill merely because they think it's good for the rest of us, and because they fear their chance to build a European welfare state may never come again. MSNBC Continues Propaganda Campaign Against Patriot Groups (February 26, 2010) http://www.infowars.com/msnbc-continues-propaganda-campaign-against-patriot-groups/ Anti-patriot propaganda has reached a fevered pitch in the corporate media. In the MSNBC segment below, Contessa Brewer interviews Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Brewer prefaces her interview with Potok — who is now a fixture of the ongoing propaganda campaign — by stating that opposition to the government is “fueled in part by anger over the troubled economy,” the fact Obama is African-American, and “immigration issues” (in other words, illegal aliens streaming across the border). Glenn Beck Now Believes In Global Warming (February 25, 2010) http://www.usaweekend.com/article/20100219/ENTERTAINMENT01/100218001/Don-t-judge-Beck-by-his-cover The stunning duplicity of Fox News host Glenn Beck has been exposed once again after the talk show host told USA Weekend magazine that he now believes in man-made global warming, after years of assuring his viewers that he was on the side of skeptics who questioned the science behind AGW claims. In an article entitled Don’t judge Beck by his cover, Beck tells interviewer Dennis McCafferty, “You’d be an idiot not to notice the temperature change.” “He also says there’s a legit case that global warming has, at least in part, been caused by mankind,” writes McCafferty, under the subheadline, “He believes in global warming.” Inhofe Weighs Criminal Probe of Scientists’ Climate Change E-Mails (February 24, 2010) http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/23/inhofe-calls-investigation-scientists-climate-change-e-mails/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%253A+foxnews%252Fpolitics+%2528Text+-+Politics%2529 The Senate's top global warming skeptic on Tuesday said he would ask the EPA's watchdog to investigate the data once used as the centerpiece of international climate change research and now bolstering an endangerment finding that gives the EPA authority to regulate greenhouse gases.

Sarah Palin 9/11 Truther Controversy Explodes (February 17, 2010) http://www.prisonplanet.com/sarah-palin-911-truther-controversy-explodes.html Days after Debra Medina’s rising bid for Texas Governor was stung by controversy over comments about 9/11 on the Glenn Beck Show, it has emerged that former Vice Presidential candidate and “Tea Party’ darling Sarah Palin has done her one better– stating her support for a new 9/11 investigation just before the 2008 election, and going far beyond Medina’s mild statement.

The Federal Underbomber (February 1, 2010) http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/49057.html Detroit lawyer Kurt Haskell is a hero. He has shown us that the Christmas bomber who almost blew up the flight to Detroit was put on the plane by a US government agent, as part of the “War on Terror.” That does not mean that the feds tried to blow up the jetliner; it just shows the deadly Keystone Kop nature of government security.
