‘It’s Not Just The President,
It’s His Anointed Aristocrats’
It’s His Anointed Aristocrats’
WND EXCLUSIVE — (WASHINGTON) After swearing an oath to protect the life of Barack Obama and then resigning, one former Secret Service agent is calling the president out for an alarming overreach of power he claims is risking the lives of Americans.“The president has abdicated his duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, especially where illegal immigration is concerned,” Dan Bongino told WND in an interview.
A 12-year veteran of the Secret Service and candidate for Congress in Maryland’s Sixth District, he called the current state of the U.S. border “the most unsecure situation you could possibly imagine.”
“We’re not escorting these people out, we’re escorting them into the country,” he said.
Bongino, who during his time with the Secret Service guarded Obama, is the author of the New York Times bestselling “Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away from It All.” The book offers an intimate look at life inside the presidential “bubble,” a haze of staffers, consultants, cronies, acolytes, bureaucrats and lobbyists that creates the “alternate reality” in which monumental policy decisions are made.
And it is the story of a dedicated Secret Service professional who, after years inside the bubble, walked away in favor of sounding a clarion call to the American people in defense of sane government and the U.S. Constitution.
“I walked away because I swore to take a bullet for the president and left it all behind to take a bullet for the American people,” Bongino said.
Believing that the president is either grossly incompetent or just doesn’t care, Bongino says: “Either way, it leads to a downfall of our way of life. It’s only a question of speed, it’s not a question of if.”
Bongino said it would have been unthinkable for him and his fellow agents to fail to secure event sites the president would be visiting in the same way that the president has failed to secure the borders.
“It’s the equivalent of escorting someone in without a ticket, around the metal detector, bringing them into the event, and sitting them in a room next to the president and saying, ‘Sit here for a few hours, we’ll get to you when we can.’”
Bongino worries that the U.S. has become a post-constitutional society with a president who fails to honor the separation of powers. House Speaker John Boehner is raising the same issue with a lawsuit contemplated against the president.
“We are now in an executive aristocracy,” Bongino said. “It’s not just the president, it’s his anointed aristocrats, whether it’s Eric Holder or Lisa Jackson at EPA, or Lois Lerner. The rules don’t apply to them.”
Bongino noted that even while running Secret Service investigations, getting access to personal tax information would take “an act of God.” Meanwhile, Lerner and others at the IRS were able to access this information and allegedly used it to intimidate opponents of the administration.
But Bongino doesn’t believe impeachment is the answer, even if it’s warranted.
“The political argument’s not there. Impeachment is an indictment, but you haven’t won the trial yet. To indict someone via impeachment knowing you’re going to lose a trial in the Senate is a fool’s errand,” he said.
Instead, Bongino is calling on moderate Democrats to join with Republicans to put pressure on Obama and demand him to recognize the law of the land.

Americans Secretly Backing Terrorist Groups Like Boko Haram, al-Shabaab
Some of Africa’s most notorious jihad groups, such as Boko Haram and al-Shabaab, are benefiting from an elaborate, international funding network, including large sums of money flowing from the United States.

VIDEO: Sarah Palin Pushes Back,
Taunts Attorney General Eric Holder In Speech
Taunts Attorney General Eric Holder In Speech
“I don’t need a lecture’ from cabinet member held in contempt of Congress”
Lead Story by Greg Campbell, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
It’s not hard to figure out how Sarah Palin feels about Attorney General Eric Holder. The outspoken proponent of Tea Party principles has blasted the Obama Administration as a whole for their continued pattern of lawlessness and has even recently begun a campaign to gather support for an impeachment effort for the 44th president who appears utterly resistant to the idea of enforcing the laws he is duty-bound to enforce.
However, at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver on Saturday, the former Alaska governor took aim at Holder and his inflammatory remarks he made a week earlier.
In an interview with ABC News, Holder criticized those who take issue with the Obama Administration’s abuses as doing so out of “racial animus.”
“There’s a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that’s directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder stated. “You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There’s a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there’s a racial animus.”
To Palin, that’s just absurd. The Tea Party bullhorn told an enthusiastic crowd, “I don’t need lectures from Eric Holder.”
Palin even took a sharp jab at the crooked Attorney General, saying, “Not many cabinet members in U.S. history have been held in contempt of Congress.”
“That racism charge is a disgusting, false charge. Just because someone opposes a failed unjust agenda that makes them a racist, Mr. Attorney General?” Palin continued.
Indeed, many race-hustlers on the left have jumped to defend the president and Holder from criticism by playing the race card, presuming that any criticism is racially motivated and thus, illegitimate. » Full Story
» Rick Perry Is Taking Matters Into His Own Hands By Doing Something The President Never Has
Western Journalism —
“...if there is a place that it can happen, it will be Texas.”
Barack Obama has repeatedly cited his ability to use a pen and a phone to unilaterally enforce his leftist agenda. When it comes to actually securing the nation’s porous border, however, states most affected by illegal immigration lament the administration’s notable lack of action. Possibly taking a cue from the Democrat president’s playbook, Texas Gov. Rick Perry recently announced that he is ready to take on the daunting task alone if the federal government refuses to enforce its own laws. He touted his state’s ability to act in the pursuit of a common goal, insisting Texas can and will put a halt to the troubling influx of illegals...» Obama: I rely On Population Control Fanatic Who Supports Forced Abortion In The U.S.
Life Site News —
It's not every day that a politician boasts that he receives his expert scientific advice from a population control fanatic who has justified compulsory abortion for American women – but then, as he likes to remind us, Obama is not like other presidents. In a June 25 speech to the League of Conservation Voters, held in the Reagan Building, Obama mocked and ridiculed his political opponents. Again (yawn). This time, he targeted Republicans who say they do not believe in global warming....» Obama Refuses To Add Religious Exemption To Homosexual Employment Mandate

The border is completely safe. So say President Barack Obama, Representative Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid and others who support the wave of illegal immigrants entering the United States. A new report from the southern border, however, suggests otherwise. Shots rang out Friday night in Rincon Peninsula, Texas, forcing U.S. border patrol agents to take cover. The shots originated from south of the Rio Grande River and according to Border Patrol sources they came from a high-powered .50 caliber rifle. Based on what agents witnessed next, according to Texas State Representative Louie Gohmert, this wasn’t just random fire.» Is It Time To Kiss Freedom Goodbye In The USA?
Charisma News —
You can kiss freedom in America goodbye unless those who say they know and love God stand together against the forces of deception and destruction. If we don't act now, it will be too late to halt evil's intent, which is the destruction of meaningful life and freedom. This has always been Satan's goal, and presently, he appears to be winning. Can you believe the insane decisions being made by elected leadership? Powerful leaders make decisions that look like they are promoting evil rebellion against wise and godly thinking. "Evil is now called good, and good is called evil," just as Isaiah said.» Under Google’s Warm Embrace, Robot Maker Reduces Dependence On Military
PC World —
A company acquired by Google that develops robots for the U.S. military appears to have greatly reduced its dependence on government funding, suggesting a reluctance on Google’s part to align itself too closely with military projects. When Google acquired Boston Dynamics last December, some questioned whether the firm’s military focus conflicted with Google’s pledge of “don’t be evil” and the virtuous image it nurtures for itself. “Google search and destroy,” quipped the U.K.’s Independent newspaper. “The internet giant (motto: ‘Don’t be evil’) has bought a pioneer of scary robot animals. Can its ethics survive?”...» Secretary Of State Kerry Caught On Camera Criticizing Israeli Operation

"It's a hell of a pinpoint operation. It's a hell of a pinpoint operation," Kerry said to the person on the phone. "It's escalating significantly, and it just underscores the need for ceasefire," the person replied. "We've got to get over there," Kerry told the person on the phone, then handed the phone to someone and told that person, "Thank you, John. I think, John, we ought to go tonight. It's crazy to be sitting around." "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace played the video of the conversation to Kerry and asked him, "When you said it's a hell of a pinpoint operation, are you upset that the Israelis are going too far?"...» Why Israel Attacked a Densely-Populated Gaza Neighborhood
Israel Today —
Hamas has “a strategy designed to force Israel to kill their own civilians so that the rest of the world will condemn them (Israel),” Clinton told India’s NDTV.. Situated less than a mile from Gaza’s border with southern Israel, Shejaiya was described by Israeli troops operating there as a vast Hamas stronghold, with a huge network of terror tunnels used to store missiles and infiltrate southern Israel. Netanyahu said this was a strategic threat that simply had to be dealt with. Addressing a press conference in which he confirmed the deaths of 13 Israeli soldiers during the fighting in Shejaiya, the prime minister stated: “Last night ’s action revealed more tunnels, in addition to others that we already uncovered, some of which reached Israel. We found handcuffs, sedating drugs. There is no question this is a strategic component for Hamas. …If these tunnels were not found, then the results would have been a lot worse.”» “Voice Of God Weapon” Makes People Think God Is Talking To Them
Mark Dice, YouTube —
Who could better control the masses than God himself? What if someone could make it seem as though God were talking to you, telling you what to do next? Imagine the control that person would have. The technology exists to make people hear things that they can’t triangulate. And guess who owns the patent? (H/T: The Daily Sheeple)
