REVOLT AMONG REPUBLICANS ON IMMIGRATION BILL: 70 HOUSE MEMBERS RISK CAREERS IN PLANNED SHOWDOWN WITH LEADERSHIP



GET READY FOR GOP REVOLT ON THE HILL



Madeleine Morgenstern, TheBlaze — Seventy House Republicans are planning a politically risky showdown with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to try to force additional debate on an immigration bill they say will mean amnesty for illegal immigrants and have dire consequences for the country.

The 70 members are petitioning for a special Republican conference meeting on the bill, a “highly unusual” move to go head-to-head with the speaker, according to Reps. Michele Bachmann (Minn.), Steve King (Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (Texas), who are serving as spokespersons for the group.



Bachmann, King and Gohmert told TheBlaze the group is invoking the Hastert Rule: requiring support from a majority of the majority to bring a bill forward.

The petition is expected to go to the House leadership on Friday, but it’s possible some signatories might remove their names due to political risk, or that Boehner could head off the challenge by striking a deal. Going against leadership in such a way could have harsh political consequences for the signatories, including retaliation such as permanently getting passed over for chairmanship positions.

A Boehner spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

Boehner is on a tight schedule for getting immigration reform passed in the House, predicting this week that Congress could finalize a bill for President Barack Obama’s signature by the end of the year. Any major challenge could ignite pushback from the American public that could force lawmakers to scrap the bill, as happened in the 2007 immigration effort.

The three representatives told TheBlaze that more than half of the Republicans in the House were elected after 2007, and have no concept of how strongly the public opposed the bill.

In an interview with World Net Daily this week, Bachmann predicted that if the immigration bill becomes law, “the whole political system will change.”

“This is President Obama’s number one political agenda item because he knows we will never again have a Republican president, ever, if amnesty goes into effect. We will perpetually have a progressive, liberal president, probably a Democrat, and we will probably see the House of Representatives go into Democrat hands and the Senate will stay in Democrat hands,” Bachmann said.

She also said that if it passes, the bill will create a permanent progressive class.

“That’s what’s at risk right now. It may sound melodramatic, I don’t mean it that way, but this is that big and that important,” Bachmann said. » Full Article

APPARENT ‘TOP SECRET’ COURT ORDER REVEALS ALARMING SCALE OF DOMESTIC SURVEILLANCE IN U.S. UNDER OBAMA



“NSA Collecting Phone Records Of Millions Of Verizon Customers Daily”




U.S. Constitution
Bill of Rights - Amendment 4
'Search and Seizure'
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Jason Howerton, TheBlaze — Millions of Americans’ phone records are being indiscriminately collected every day by the National Security Agency (NSA), according to a copy of an alleged “top secret” court order leaked to The Guardian. The alarming discovery seems to reveal the scale of domestic surveillance under the Obama administration.

The alleged order, reportedly issued in April, demands that Verizon give the NSA information on all telephone calls in its systems on an “ongoing, daily basis” over a three month period. This includes calls made both within the U.S. and between the U.S. to other countries.

(Read the alleged court order here)

Verizon is one of the largest telephone service providers in the United States, meaning millions of Americans are affected by this secret court order.

“The document shows for the first time that under the Obama administration the communication records of millions of US citizens are being collected indiscriminately and in bulk – regardless of whether they are suspected of any wrongdoing,” The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald reports.

According to the report, the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (Fisa) approved the court order to the FBI on April 25. The order gives the U.S. government complete authority to compile all the data they want over the designated three month period, ending on July 19.

Taken directly from the alleged top secret court order:
“IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, the Custodian of Records shall produce to the National Security Agency (NSA) upon service of this Order, and continue production on an ongoing daily basis thereafter for the duration of this Order, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, an electronic copy of the following tangible things: all call detail records or ‘telephony metadata’ created by Verizon for communications (i) between the United States and abroad; or (ii) wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls.”
The order was signed by FISC Judge Roger Vinson, a federal judge in Florida. Vinson also became the first federal judge to find “Obamacare” unconstitutional in its entirety back in 2011.
According to CNET’s Declan McCullagh, “Vinson’s order relies on Section 215 of the Patriot Act, 50 USC 1861, better known as the “business records” portion. It allows FBI agents to obtain any ‘tangible thing,’ including ‘books, records, papers, documents, and other items,’ a broad term that includes dumps from private-sector computer databases with limited judicial oversight.”



The Guardian has more details on what type of information Verizon has reportedly been forced to hand over:
Under the terms of the blanket order, the numbers of both parties on a call are handed over, as is location data, call duration, unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. The contents of the conversation itself are not covered.

The disclosure is likely to reignite longstanding debates in the US over the proper extent of the government’s domestic spying powers.

Under the Bush administration, officials in security agencies had disclosed to reporters the large-scale collection of call records data by the NSA, but this is the first time significant and top-secret documents have revealed the continuation of the practice on a massive scale under President Obama.

The unlimited nature of the records being handed over to the NSA is extremely unusual. Fisa court orders typically direct the production of records pertaining to a specific named target who is suspected of being an agent of a terrorist group or foreign state, or a finite set of individually named targets.
The White House, NSA and the Department of Justice all declined to comment when contacted by The Guardian prior to publishing its report.

A Washington-based spokesman for Verizon also declined to comment. That could be because the court order reportedly prohibits the company from disclosing the government’s request for customer records or the court order at all.

“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that no person shall disclose to any other person that the FBI or NSA has sought or obtained tangible things under this Order, other than to: (a) those persons whom disclosure is necessary to comply with such Order; (b) an attorney to obtain legal advice or assistant with respect to the production of things in response to Order; or ( c) other persons as permitted by the Director of the FBI or the Director’s designee,” the document states.

In other words, you were never supposed to know about the massive data-mining effort. It also means whoever leaked the court order has taken a serious risk.

Perhaps the more important question to ask is: Has a precedent been set where this type of blanket surveillance is now acceptable in the eyes of the government?

“It is not known whether Verizon is the only cell-phone provider to be targeted with such an order, although previous reporting has suggested the NSA has collected cell records from all major mobile networks,” Greenwald writes.

The NSA is currently in the process of completing a massive $1.2 billion data center in Utah, where the agency will store incredible amounts of various information. It has been referred to by many as a “spy center.”

But this is not a new problem by any stretch of the imagination, nor is it a partisan issue perpetuated by a single party.

As Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell points out, the NSA was also secretly collecting the phone records of millions of unsuspecting Americans during the Bush administration. AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth reportedly worked with the NSA under contract during the program, which was supposedly intended to track and identify terrorists.

“The NSA program reaches into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans — most of whom aren’t suspected of any crime,” USA Today reported in 2006.

The secret program was reportedly first initiated in 2001, shortly after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. » Full Article

OBAMACARE TO USHER IN 100 TO 400 PERCENT INSURANCE RATE INCREASES ACROSS THE BOARD





America Enslaved To A Sick System
Of "Health" Care... and "Taxes"

Lance Devon, Natural News — Seventeen of the nation's largest insurance companies are now reporting that insurance premiums are set to spike anywhere from 100 percent to 400 percent for many Americans in 2014. These insurance companies, including the likes of Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and the Kaiser Foundation have provided the House Commerce Committee with a new report that links the new Obamacare regulations, policies, and taxes to cause a substantial "rate shock" for many. The people who are expected to take the biggest hit are young healthy individuals who purchase their own health insurance.

Small Businesses May See 50 To 100 Percent Increases In Premiums

A health care plan that punishes success and healthy people is the most backward and degenerate idea ever mandated.

The report to the house committee shows that an average premium increase for small group markets will range from 50 to 100 percent. One insurer concluded that "nearly all states will see premium increases."

A new customer in small group market will typically see the standard average yearly rate jump from "$1,896 to $3,708 - a $1,812 cost increase."

To make matters worse, insurers told the panel that premiums are also expected to rise from 4 to 8 percent based on the new insurance tax alone. Other taxes, including the medical device tax, will only make matters worse.

Independent, Healthy Young People Hit The Hardest

The steepest insurance hikes will hit healthy, young people who buy insurance on their own rather than through an employer. Newly mandated customers in the individual market will likely see rates 96 percent higher under Obamacare. This group includes many 27-year-olds who will be coming off their parent's insurance coverage. This average doesn't even consider mandated benefits and age rating that will likely cause up to 413 percent rate hikes in some cases! One example proposed by insurers showed that a young, healthy male adult could see a jump from $51 a month to $144 - a 180 percent increase!

Still affected, but to a lesser degree, will be large group coverage plans run by large companies. These rates are expected to jump 15 to 25 percent.

Federal subsidies may soften the blow for families making up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level, but these subsidies won't prevent rates from rising with the costs of inflation and widening "care."

Entitlement Mindset Destroying Future Generations

By enabling adults to stay on their parent's plans until the age of 26, Obamacare seems to be looking out for young people. In reality, this idea teaches young people to be dependent instead of being responsible for their own health. This idea discourages young people from being productive, healthy individuals. This is an entitlement mindset that will leak into all walks of life.

Who Benefits Then?

In the long run, nobody benefits with Obamacare. It may seem that some people will receive lower costs for health insurance, but in the end, these people will never learn the responsibility of taking care of their own health. They will become even bigger slaves to a sick system of "health" care.

That's because at the heart of Obamacare is entitlement. Before the law, some people faced higher out-of-pocket costs, because they were less-healthy, or higher risk individuals. Now, under Obamacare, these individuals become entitled to insurance coverage, forcing healthier people to absorb the costs.

This is where the mandate comes in. By mandating everyone to pay into the system, the government forces healthy, more responsible individuals to pay for the failing system's pharmaceutical drug system. By collecting penalty money from most everyone, the government can continue funding a system of redistribution of wealth and mass pharmaceutical drugging.

The Way Forward

The future of health insurance in the United States could become a universal, single payer system, abolishing all individual, business, and state insurance plans. Insurance companies and businesses will likely fold under all the pressure of the new taxes, regulations and increased costs from Obamacare. Naturopathic doctors will be left in the underground, even though a holistic approach to health care is the solution to most illness in the world.

A ridiculous medical system that gives no empowerment to the individual to take care of their own health will become the mandated norm. One giant expansion of the pharmaceutical industry will be forced onto everyone, and a mutilating surgical response to health problems will be doctrine.

Individuals, unable to afford health insurance, may cry out for liberty and health truths, or they may submit to the government expansion. The IRS will continue to be the hit man for the government, forcing people to choke up a set amount of money for their "free" health care.

For the next few years, though, people who plan on purchasing health insurance should prepare themselves for financial hardship, as rates skyrocket 100 to 400 percent. The pressure to bring in a single payer system will be imminent.

For those who want to remain free and healthy, it will be wise to ditch the system altogether and find health care in detoxifying, utilizing whole food nutrition, and making wiser lifestyle choices. » Full Article
