Down If The Department Of Homeland Security
Executed A Plan To Use Force Upon Protestors
J. D. Heyes, Natural News — Border Patrol agent Hector Garza, in a recent interview with Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, said that despite agents along the U.S. southwest border being inundated with tens of thousands of illegal border crossers in recent weeks, most nevertheless went to work with positive, upbeat attitudes.It appears, however, that attitudes might be taking a hit, as the Obama administration pushes policies that are anathema to American ethics and national security requirements.
According to the Guerilla Media Network (GMN), an "exclusive expose" regarding the standoff in Murrieta, California, between local and federal law enforcement and residents opposed to the government's shipping of scores of illegal aliens to the community, "a confidential informant inside the Murrieta U.S. Border Patrol facility" says "the real reason busses stopped delivering illegal immigrants was due to a virtual mutiny" within the agency's ranks at the station.
‘They Threatened To Stand Down’
GMN reported further that a recorded telephone interview with "a highly credible and prominent Murrieta community leader" on July 14 "revealed that frontline U.S. Border Patrol agents threatened to stand down if the Department of Homeland Security executed a plan to use force upon protestors if they impeded buses transporting undocumented immigrants into the Murrieta processing facility."
Murrieta is the only location where local residents have been regularly protesting and opposing placement of undocumented aliens that have crossed illegally into the U.S. in recent weeks.
“Most of the Border Patrol agents here at this facility are residents of Murrieta, and when they found out that the DHS was going to come in with riot gear, the agents declared that they would not obey any unlawful orders which violate the Constitutional rights of peaceful protestors,” said the informant, according to GMN. “Our contact inside the U.S. Border Patrol told us that we do not even realize how impactful the protest was....it was a shot heard around the world....all the way back to Guatemala; Mexico, and not just the U.S. Government....the influx of immigrants coming over the border has decreased from 1500 per day down to 800 per day...cut almost in half as a direct result of what we’ve done.”
Sources said that frontline Border Patrol agents are essentially refusing to perform any act that they deem unconstitutional upon protestors, intentions which they made perfectly clear to supervisors, GMN reported. As a result, DHS could not proceed with delivery of subsequent busloads of illegal aliens to Murrieta. GMN said that local police were standing with the U.S. Border Patrol officers in refusing to unconstitutionally engage and/or limit protestors' First Amendment right to assemble peaceably for just such purposes.
GMN further reported:
On June 23, 2014, local residents of Murrieta California express[ed] their will to prohibit the U.S. Government's lawless policy of transporting and dumping immigrants who are being allowed into the United States without proper documentation to verify they do not have a known criminal history; processing immigrants without proper medical screening; accepting busloads of immigrants at overcrowded facilities without regard to capacity, as well as dumping of unlawfully admitted immigrants in communities all over the United States.
‘Protect The Whistleblowers’
The Border Patrol whistleblower has also expressed concern about retaliation by the U.S. government for his willingness to speak up about unlawful and unconstitutional requests and conduct he has observed within the local branch of his agency. He went on to ask that all whistleblowers receive some form of legal protection from government retaliation -- over and above what the federal Whistleblower Protection Act already provides -- and that Congress hold public hearings to look into alleged wrongdoing by the Obama administration in actions taken regarding the current border security crisis.
"My contact has pleaded with community leaders to reach out to our local Congressman and demand Congressional inquiry," the confidential informant said. "We also need to hold our local Sheriff accountable for his gross Constitutional negligence....he was nowhere to be found, and he's the top law enforcement official in the county. The sheriff potentially jeopardized the lives and safety of our local residents, as well as the Murrieta Police and U.S. Border Patrol Agents if the DHS came in with force." » Full Article

Increasingly, traditional allies of President Obama are becoming disillusioned with him, if not openly hostile and critical -- something that would have been unthinkable during the heady early days of his first campaign and term. No less than TIME is reporting that it is apparent that the Obama administration has become Orwellian in the manner in which it behaves, even though one of its staunchest supporters (and biggest propagandists in his own right) defends it...» New Film ‘Persecuted’ Highlights Clash Between Religious Freedom And Government Power
A new film set for release on July 18 is a political thriller that pits modern government against a basic constitutional right and highlights the fundamental conflicts between the main character's Christian beliefs and the "religious reforms" as envisioned by statists.. According to actor and former U.S. senator from Tennessee Fred Thompson, who co-stars in the film, Americans should be increasingly "mindful" of a federal government growing in power that undermines religious freedoms, noting that the film depicts just how dangerous an overzealous government can be...CONGRESSMAN: BYPASS OBAMA ON BORDER CRISIS

‘It’s Time That We Start To Work With The States’
Greg Corombos, WND Radio — Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., says Republicans in Congress are ready to start acting in response to what they consider to be President Obama’s refusal to honor the rule of law and defend the nation’s borders.Gosar said the upcoming actions include tightening funding to the relevant federal agencies accused of not doing their jobs, enforcing strict constraints on who is allowed to stay in this country after coming illegally and bypassing the president to work with states to restore security to the U.S.-Mexico border.
The first tool the GOP plans to employ is the power of the purse, which does not require approval from the Senate or the president.
“September is the largest spending month in federal workforce calendars,” Gosar said. “So why don’t we re-prioritize these aspects within the IRS, which has hardly been a stalwart aspect of upholding the Constitution? How about the Department of Justice? How about the executive branch? I think all these can suffer a little bit in regard to bringing that money forward so that the American taxpayer doesn’t have to be impugned by additional finances.”
Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.:
On Wednesday, the House voted to reduce IRS funding in fiscal 2015 by $566 million below current spending levels. The congressman said the exact strategy on reducing funds is not fully worked out, but he said GOP members are definitely in agreement on the general idea.
“I think there’s a lot of consensus that there’s opportunity here to look within the current budget and making sure that the president is brought before the Constitution so that he upholds the Constitution,” said Gosar.
A 2008 immigration law is causing frustration for some border security advocates since it mandates due process for children crossing the border rather than simply turning them around and sending them home. However, Gosar said the law also puts clear limits on who can stay here in those circumstances.
“(We need to be) streamlining the process, holding the administration accountable with respect to the 2008 law,” he said. “They’d have to show that they were part of sex trafficking. That’s the only detail that most people are not talking about. It’s not just anybody from a contiguous state; it’s those that are involved in sex trafficking (who can stay). Hardly every single individual that’s been transported is involved in sex trafficking.”
Gosar admits that demanding Obama enforce the law only goes so far.
However, if he refuses to do his job, the congressman said Congress can go over his head and coordinate with border state governors who do take national security seriously.
“It’s time that we start to work with the states, like Texas. Gov. (Rick) Perry has shown that he’s ready to move. I think the governor of Arizona (Jan Brewer) would be another good place, given her stalwart actions in regard to defense of the border. I think California will also join along. New Mexico, I think, would also because a plurality in New Mexico want border security enforced,” said Gosar, who elaborated on the steps Congress can encourage the states to take.
“The first thing that states have is the National Guard. They have the power of their purse in regard to initiating that response to the border as well as police enforcement. So I think the first aspect is a show of force to make sure the rule of law is actually supported,” Gosar said.
Two other legislative efforts are underway, but neither will have the support of Rep. Gosar. Earlier this week, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, introduced a bill mandating much faster processing of the tens of thousands illegally crossing the border.
Their plan would require each case to be heard within seven days of each person clearing HHS inspection and a decision on whether a person can stay in the U.S. to be rendered within three days of the hearing.
Gosar said this plan isn’t terrible but is completely unnecessary.
“The president already has in his arsenal the ability to accomplish exactly those things: to speed up the opportunity, executively change the process. He has the ability to do that right now,” he said.
The congressman also has little use for Obama’s request for $3.7 billion in emergency spending. He said Obama is jamming unrelated spending priorities into this bill, and it won’t really solve the problems.
“I think throwing money like he’s asking for at this problem without having a stalwart plan … is not a good plan at all,” he said.
Gosar said Obama owns this problem because of his unilateral implementation of several DREAM Act provisions in 2012 and for championing the Senate bill, which provides for instant legalization for the vast majority of those in the country illegally. He also said the rule of law is breaking down because the president refuses to enforce what’s on the books and his constituents are noticing.
“We have a lot of people very upset,” he said. “They range from folks that are on the liberal side to the conservative side, saying this is out of hand. This is a humanitarian crisis but also a crisis on the sovereignty of this country.”
The president contends the problem lies at the feet of congressional Republicans, who refuse to pass comprehensive immigration reform legislation. However, Gosar said the voters are not fooled, and the failure to resolve this crisis soon will backfire on Obama and his party.
“I’d hate to be a Democrat come November,” he said. » Full Article

» New Obama Rule Could Force Cities To House Illegals
‘Regulation fits perfectly in line with promise to transform America’
The Obama administration, in July 2013, quietly introduced a new regulation that critics say will dramatically increase Washington’s power over local zoning laws in every U.S. city and town that accepts federal block grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Some are calling it the “Common Core of local zoning” that has flown under the radar for nearly a year. Instead of the U.S. Department of Education dictating education standards to local school districts, this rule change would allow HUD to influence zoning laws from the biggest cities down to the tiniest towns...

Demand from state Civil Rights Commission challenged
A Lakewood, Colorado, bakery owner has appealed to the Colorado Court of Appeals an order from the state’s Civil Rights Commission that he take his employees through a mandatory re-education process because of his religious objections to promoting same-sex marriage, which the state constitution does not recognize. The Alliance Defending Freedom, who represents Masterpiece Cakeshop artist Jack Phillips, says the order by state bureaucrats requires Phillips to “re-educate” his employees so that they “endorse all views.” Phillips also must file quarterly reports for two years proving that the “re-education” has been implemented...

Americans Perish In Malaysia Airlines Attack;

Obama Campaigns,
Cracks Jokes With Crowd In Delaware
Lead Story by Greg Campbell, Tea Party News Network (TPNN) —
As reports flood in about the recent attack on a Malaysia Airlines plane that was shot down over Ukraine, Americans look for answers and await information concerning the murder of 295 people on board, including 23 Americans.
Meanwhile, President Obama has carefully dodged the topic in order to campaign for increased infrastructure spending in Delaware.
The Ukraine interior ministry claims that the plane, a Boeing 777, was shot down by a Buk surface-to-air missile and the Pentagon has revealed that they believe that the plane, Flight MH17, was shot down by Russian separatists in the region. Reportedly, Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a brief call regarding the crash.
The situation could have longstanding consequences as Russia has continued to assert dominance in Ukraine, despite meager whimpers of protest emanating from the Obama Administration.
With 23 Americans having been on board, it seems clear that the United States will have a vested interest in learning who was responsible for the unprovoked attack. A similar situation occurred in 1915 when the RMS Lusitania was sunk by either a German U-Boat or a mine. On board the British ship were 159 Americans of which 124 died.
The incident rapidly turned international sentiment against the Germans and aided in the ultimate decision for the United States to enter the war against Germany.
While the world tuned-in to learn about the attack on MH17 in the aftermath of the attack, President Obama casually dined at The Charcoal Pit in Wilmington, Delaware, ordering a cheeseburger and fist-bumping patrons in a jovial fashion.
Soon after, Obama spoke to a crowd at Wilmington about the attack for a total of 38 seconds before switching to an upbeat tempo and campaigning. Speaking to the crowd, Obama remarked that “the world is watching reports” of the crash and “it looks like it may be a terrible tragedy. Right now we are working to determine whether there were American citizens on board. That is our first priority.”
After glossing-over the tragedy that reportedly took the lives of 23 Americans, Obama shifted his tempo to “hoot-and-holler” mode and began with his all-too-typical, faux-folksy charm by telling the crowd, “It is great to be in the state that gave us Joe Biden!”
With the blasting of MH17 from the sky by what Ukraine claims to be Russian separatists, it’s clear that Obama’s foreign policy of appeasement mixed with voice-cracking threats of sanctions is not cutting it.
In fact, just last month, Obama proudly proclaimed that with Russia on the warpath, with the U.S.-funded Hamas terrorist organization threatening annihilation of Israel and ISIS dominating Iraq, “The world is less violent than it has ever been.”
What this administration will do in the face of this outrage remains to be seen, but it’s clear that this might be a dramatic ratcheting of Russian-American tensions.

Some of the unaccompanied illegal immigrant “children” could be coming to a town near you, but you won’t know until after they get there. The White House is not informing governors or members of Congress when or where they are placing these children because they think their privacy “rights” are more important than your right to know where your tax dollars are going to. First off, this feel a little bit like “nanny nanny boo boo”; and second, since when do illegal immigrants get rights that trump those of legal citizens?...» Israel Prepares For ‘Significant Expansion’ Of Gaza Ground Offensive
Newsmax —
Israeli troops pushed deeper into Gaza on Friday to destroy rocket launching sites and tunnels, firing volleys of tank shells and clashing with Palestinian fighters in a high-stakes ground offensive meant to weaken the enclave's Hamas rulers. Israel launched the operation late Thursday, following a 10-day campaign of more than 2,000 air strikes against Gaza that had failed to halt relentless Hamas rocket fire on Israeli cities. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the military to prepare for a "significant expansion" of the ground offensive. "It is not possible to deal with tunnels only from the air. It needs to be done also from the ground," he said before a special Cabinet meeting in Tel Aviv...» Boehner: House Has No Plans To Defund Acts By Obama That Are Unconstitutional

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated today that if President Barack Obama takes actions that exceed his constitutional authority, the House of Representatives has no plans to use its own constitutional authority to withhold funding from those actions. At his weekly press briefing, CNSNews.com asked Boehner: “You’ve said you disagree with calls to impeach the president over abuse of power via executive actions. But under the Constitution the House actually has the power of the purse. So, if the President takes actions that exceed his Constitutional authority, will you withhold funding for those actions in the next must-pass appropriations bill?...» What Investigation? Department Of Justice: We Heard About IRS Missing Emails ON THE NEWS!
The Daily Caller —
James Cole, deputy attorney general in the Department of Justice, testified Thursday that the DOJ heard about the destruction of IRS officials’ emails in the news, even though DOJ has formally been investigating the IRS for more than a year. “I think we learned about it after that, from press accounts,” Cole told House Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan at a hearing Thursday on the DOJ’s response to the wave of computer crashes at the IRS that wiped out seven different employees’ hard drives. DOJ has allegedly been conducting a widely-mocked investigation into the IRS conservative targeting scandal for more than a year..» U.N. Accuses Islamic State of Executions, Rape, Child Abuse in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – The United Nations accused Islamic State fighters in Iraq of executing religious and other leaders as well as teachers and health workers, forcibly recruiting children and raping women among acts that amounted to war crimes. A UN report focused on a range of violations committed against civilians, particularly by the Islamic State, though it also said Iraqi forces and allied fighters had not taken precautions to protect civilians from violence. “(This)…may also amount to war crimes,” the report found...» Deadliest, Rarest Form Of Plague Contracted Near Denver
Bloomberg —
A rare airborne form of the plague that can spread through coughing and sneezing has infected a Colorado man, and state health officials are searching for other possible cases. The man, who hasn’t been identified, is infected with Pneumonic Plague, an inhaled form of the disease, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment said July 9 in a statement. It’s the first case of Pneumonic Plague seen in the state since 2004, said Jennifer House, a spokeswoman for the department. The man may have been exposed in Adams County near Denver, the department said. Plague, which can be fatal if left untreated, spreads most often through flea bites and continues to spread in parts of Africa, Asia and South America...» First Case Of Chikungunya Virus Contracted In U.S.
CBS News —
U.S. health officials today announced the first locally acquired case of Chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus that's become prevalent in the Caribbean in recent months. The CDC reports a male patient in Florida was diagnosed with the virus, and had not recently traveled outside the country. Federal and Florida state health officials are investigating how the man could have contracted the virus domestically.. Symptoms of chikungunya include fever, muscle and joint pain, headaches and rash. Though rarely fatal, the virus can be extremely painful and debilitating. Currently, there is no vaccine for chikungunya. Patients typically recover from infection in about a week, though pain can persist for longer...» The UN Plot To Confiscate American Guns
Dave Hodges, The Common Sense Show —
The evidence is mounting that Obama and his colleagues at the United Nations are preparing for complete gun confiscation of civilian owned American guns. There is a new document, previously held secret, which has surfaced and clearly signals the intention of the United Nations to engage in gun confiscation in the relatively near future. The document is damning, however, the existence of the document is not even needed to prove the point that there is a major confrontation brewing between the American people and an international peace-keeping UN force, and it’s coming right around the corner...
