Impeach and arrest Barack HUSSEIN Obama

Today on RIGHT SIDE PATRIOTS, Craig and I broke news that Barack HUSSEIN Obama most assuredly negotiated with terrorists as White House National Security Council spokesperson, Caitlin Hayden, recently admitted that the Taliban had indeed been added to the list of 'Specially Designated' Global Terrorists by Executive Order back in July 2002. In other words GWB added the Taliban to the list of terrorists groups 12 years ago...groups we NEVER negotiate with.

Obviously, Obama, under the radar, rescinded Bush's EO as the Taliban did NOT appear on the terrorist list when this 5 for 1 deal was reached. And so Obama yet again LIED to 'We the People' but this lie will cause more American blood to be shed.

If this doesn't get you to sign and share our petition I don't know what will. Come on people... don't just be talkers...be doers...America's survival depends on it.

Here's What They Didn't Tell You About the Jobs Report

Mike Shedlock / Townhall Columnist

Initial Reaction

Once again the headline job number exceeded the household survey report, but unlike last month, the difference this month was insignificant.

May BLS Jobs Statistics at a Glance

• Nonfarm Payroll: +217,000 - Establishment Survey
• Employment: +145,000 - Household Survey
• Unemployment: +46,000 - Household Survey
• Involuntary Part-Time Work: -196,000 - Household Survey
• Voluntary Part-Time Work: +154,000 - Household Survey
• Baseline Unemployment Rate: +0.0 at 6.3% - Household Survey
• U-6 unemployment: -0.1 to 12.2% - Household Survey
• Civilian Non-institutional Population: +183,000
• Civilian Labor Force: +192,000 - Household Survey
• Not in Labor Force: -9,000 - Household Survey
• Participation Rate: +0.0 at 62.8 - Household Survey

Additional Notes About the Unemployment Rate

• The unemployment rate varies in accordance with the Household Survey, not the reported headline jobs number, and not in accordance with the weekly claims data.
• In the past year the population rose by 2,259,000.
• In the last year the labor force rose by 4,000.
• In the last year, those "not" in the labor force rose by 2,215,000
• Over the course of the last year, the number of people employed rose by 1,895,000 (an average of 158,000 a month)

The population rose by over 2 million, but the labor force was essentially flat. People dropping out of the work force accounts for nearly all of the declining unemployment rate.

May 2014 Employment Report

Please consider the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) May 2014 Employment Report.

Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 217,000 in May, and the unemployment rate held at 6.3 percent. Employment increased in professional and business services, health care and social assistance, food services, and transportation and warehousing.

China Gets Tough on Terrorism

Night Watch / Townhall Columnist

China-Xinjiang: Update. Chinese media reported that local courts in six cities or prefectures in western China sentenced 81 people for terrorism-related acts in 23 cases. Twelve people were sentenced to death, but three received a two-year reprieve.

The crimes included organizing, leading or participating in terrorist organizations; murder; illegal manufacture or storage of explosives; and making and distributing audio and video tapes on terrorism, inciting hatred and teaching criminal behavior.

Comment: This indicates the crackdown continues. The harsh punishments are intended to serve as a lesson and a deterrent.

China-Philippines: The Philippine government told the press that it has confirmed that China is engaged in land reclamation operations on 2 more reefs in the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea.

The 2 reefs -Gavin Reef and Cuateron Reef -- are close to Johnson South Reef, where the Philippines reported Chinese reclamation activity in May.

A Philippine military spokesman said China already has erected structures on the 2 reefs.

Comment: The Chinese appear to be making a string of manned, if not fortified, islets to back up their claims to sovereignty with physical presence. When they are finished, the reefs will have been re-engineered to Chinese requirements.

Syria: Feedback and a correction: Multiple Brilliant Readers pointed out that the Syrian vote count was inconsistent with the Syrian population figure taken from the CIA World Factbook. The Readers are correct and the Factbook's population total for Syria is wrong.

NightWatch relies on the CIA World Factbook as a standard reference for unclassified factual, baseline information, as does the Intelligence Community. On three occasions since 2006, NightWatch has found errors in the Factbook.

This was the third occasion. Prompted by Feedback, NightWatch consulted six separate sources for the total population of Syria. They agreed that it is between 22 and 23 million people, not 17.9 million as indicated in the CIA World Factbook. There are about 7 million Syrians under voting age of 18 and more than 15 million registered voters.

Readers also disputed whether this was a democratic election and whether the votes were coerced.

While those issues are important, they are tangential to the threat analysis. The NightWatch threat analysis is that the election reinforced the judgment that the Ba'athist government is not in danger of collapse.

Nigeria: Update. Suspected Boko Haram militants launched an attack today on a village near the north-eastern city of Maiduguri. The armed men told villagers they had come to preach. After a crowd gathered, they fired into the crowd, killing about 45 people.

Mali: On 4 June, President Keita's government has decided to require six-month's of universal, compulsory national service, beginning in 2015. A communique said the government wants "to develop a feeling of patriotism and the instinct for national defense."

Training will include military discipline,weapons familiarization and apparently civics.

Comment: Mali analysts interpret the measure as a long term response to the latest Touareg uprising. The Touaregs routed the army near Kidal last month. This is not military conscription, which exists in Mali, but appears to be selective. This is a program to build a stronger sense of national identity in the youth.

While it will be expensive and might not work, the idea at least responds to a condition in many states with security problems. Tribal identity remains much stronger than national identity.

Obama’s Thugocracy: Price of coming forward, 37 VA whistle-blowers claim retaliation

Pamela Geller / Atlas Shrugs

Remember that in 2008, Obama vowed that the VA would be “leader of health care reform.” Apparently Obama has the same kind of abuse in mind for the American people with Obamacare.
On the 70th anniversary of D-day:

“Price of coming forward: 37 VA whistle-blowers claim retaliation,” By Joshua Rhett Miller. FoxNews.com

The joint effort by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) and the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) aims to “bring accountability” to the department by allowing whistleblowers to expose corruption anonymously.

Dozens of Veterans Affairs workers who have come forward with stories of mismanagement and patient abuse say they have faced retaliation within the scandal-scarred agency, according to federal investigators.

In one case, a VA employee with a spotless record over two decades was suspended after reporting patients had been inappropriately restrained, according to one of 37 such complaints filed with the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC). In another case, an employee claimed to have been demoted after disclosing alleged mishandling of patient care funds. The employee was temporarily reassigned and an investigation is still ongoing, OSC officials said.

The complaints, which involved VA facilities in 19 states, appear to show a culture that discourages whistle-bowing, said officials at the OSC, which is probing the claims.

“That fear is pervasive. But when there’s this much smoke, there’s often fire.”- Joe Newman, Project on Government Oversight

“Receiving candid information about harmful practices from employees will be critical to the VA’s efforts to identify problems and find solutions,” Special Counsel Carolyn Lerner said in a statement Thursday. “However, employees will not come forward if they fear retaliation.”

The OSC is an independent investigative and prosecutorial agency that polices treatment of federal employees and job applicants, focusing specifically on enforcement of the Whistleblower Protection Act.

The investigation of the claims of retribution does not include a separate OSC review of 49 employee reports related to waiting lists and other issues at 152 hospitals and more than 1,700 other VA sites nationwide. Some facilities have been accused of doctoring their books to hide the fact that patients died while languishing on waiting lists to see doctors.

Joe Newman, spokesman of the Project on Government Oversight, an activist group that launched its own VA-related whistle-blower website last month, said it’s not surprising that bureaucrats are coming down on employees who come forward to help the agency reform.

“That fear is pervasive,” Newman told FoxNews.com, adding that most sources do not wish to be identified. “But when there’s this much smoke, there’s often fire.”

As of Thursday, at least 640 submissions have been received by VAOversight.org since May 15, Newman said, with the majority of those coming from veterans themselves and relatives. Roughly 20 percent of those, he said, were from current and former VA employees who had valid gripes.

“So they can’t all be classified as whistle-blower submissions, but we’re in the process of investigating some of those claims,” Newman said. “We’re not looking to make quick media hits. Our main goal is to analyze the systemic problems and find what solutions we can come up with.”

In a third case involving yet another facility, a VA employee at another facility received a seven-day suspension after telling the inspector general’s office about improper scheduling and coding procedures.

None of the whistle-bowers or their VA facilities of employment were disclosed by the OSC.

Former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki resigned last month following widespread criticism over excessive waiting periods for care and falsified records at VA facilities nationwide that provide medical care to about 9 million veterans and family members. Shinseki, a former Army chief of staff and four-star general, also promised prior to his exit that whistle-blowers would not be penalized for speaking up.

“I can’t explain the lack of integrity among some of the leaders of our healthcare facilities,” Shinseki told a conference on homeless veterans last month. “This is something I rarely encountered during 38 years in uniform.

“I will not defend it because it is indefensible. But I can take responsibility for it, and I do,” he continued. “Given the facts I now know, I apologize as the senior leader of the Department of Veterans Affairs.’’

Veterans in Phoenix, for example, waited an average 115 days for appointments, or five times longer than the Phoenix VA had reported, the VA’s acting inspector general, Richard Griffin, told a Senate committee last month.

Griffin said his office is now probing more than 40 of the VA’s 1,700 health care facilities nationwide.

The VA’s acting new boss, meanwhile, said Thursday that an additional 18 veterans whose names were kept off an official electronic VA appointment list have died. Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said he would ask Griffin to see if there is any indication those deaths were related to long wait times. Gibson said he was unsure whether the 18 new deaths were related to wait times, but said they were in addition to the 17 reported last month. If so, they would reach out to those veterans’ families.

“I will come personally and apologize to the survivors,” Gibson said.

Obama Administration acknowledges that Taliban is a terrorist organization

Robert Spencer / Jihad Watch

 

 

“But Tuesday, White House National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden noted that the Taliban was added to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists by executive order in July 2002.” Thus the Obama Administration tacitly acknowledged that it did negotiate with terrorists to secure the release of the traitor and deserter Bowe Bergdahl. Will there be any accountability? Probably not.

“White House: Yes, The Taliban Is a Terrorist Organization,” ABC News, June 5, 2014:

(WASHINGTON) — With the recent release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from Taliban captivity after nearly five years — in exchange for five mid-to high-level Afghan Taliban figures — criticism immediately emerged questioning not only how the deal suddenly came about but also whether dealing with the Taliban could set a dangerous precedent for U.S. national security.

“This is a complete change of our national security strategy of not negotiating with terrorists,” Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Michigan, told ABC News on Monday. “I think it sends a terrible national security message — not just to Afghanistan, but to the rest of the world.”

But did President Obama’s White House, through the Qatari government which brokered the deal, negotiate with terrorists, as suggested by Rogers and a number of high-profile Republicans?

When asked Monday if the White House considered the Taliban terrorists, Press Secretary Jay Carney dodged.

“We don’t get to choose our enemies when we go to war,” Carney told reporters. “We regard the Taliban as an enemy combatant in a conflict that has been going on, in which the United States has been involved for more than a decade. In this case — as you know we dealt with the Qataris in order to secure [Bergdahl’s] release — it was absolutely the right thing to do.”

But Tuesday, White House National Security Council spokesperson Caitlin Hayden noted that the Taliban was added to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists by executive order in July 2002, even if it is not listed as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) by the State Department. Either designation triggers asset freezes, according to the State Department, though they can differ on other restrictions imposed on the target organization.

The U.S. is offering $10 million for information leading to the capture of the Taliban’s leader, Mullah Omar, through the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, an effort designed to “fight against international terrorism.” The National Counterterrorism Center also lists “Taliban Presence in Afghanistan” on its global map of “Terrorist Groups.”

Though the State Department has not designated the Afghan Taliban as an FTO, it has designated the group’s sister network, the Pakistani Taliban, as well as the Haqqani Network, a group closely associated with the Taliban that was believed to have been actually holding Bergdahl for most of his captivity. Hayden told ABC News the U.S. “did not negotiate with the Haqqanis” for Bergdahl….

Op-ed: 

Hey Obama...when even the Afghans are angry you know you're in trouble
By: Diane Sori

“It won’t help the peace process in any way, because we don’t believe in the peace process.” - Zabihullah Mujahid, Taliban spokesman

The Bowe Bergdahl saga continues on as now even the Afghans are furious about Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s trade of five Taliban terrorists for one American traitor.

And why shouldn't they be as these terrorists will now put a bulls eye on any and all Afghans who they even suspect of aiding the Americans, treating them as if they were Americans themselves. Gives new meaning to Obama's infamous line about standing with the muslims if political winds shift in an ugly direction...now doesn't it.

In fact, these five...the five highest-ranking members of the Afghan Taliban...were classified as being “high-risk” and “likely to pose a threat” by the Pentagon, so Afghan President Hamid Karzai being beyond angry at his being kept in the dark about this trade, more than justifies his public declaration accusing Obama of NOT only failing to back a peace plan for his country but of actually throwing a wrench into it. And now he's even more distrustful of U.S. intentions than he was before, and rightly so, for Karzai knows firsthand what the Taliban are capable of, and he is more than a bit fearful of their return to the battlefield to feed into and egg-on the insurgency just as we are preparing to leave the country...and they know the date for that as our traitor-in-chief announced said date for the enemy to hear and to prepare for.

And in a statement he issued, Karzai went so far as to say that this trade violated international law and had possible regional repercussions... especially for Pakistan and India. And he also criticized the deal as a violation of international law. “No government can transfer citizens of a country to a third country as prisoners” Karzai said, and he's right as five of its citizens have now been handed over to a third country as prisoners.

But more important than either international law violations or regional fallout is the fact that this trade also violated our U.S. laws in the very nature of its handover of said Taliban to a third country ...specially to a country we have NO transfer agreements with.

According to our own Justice Department, NO prisoner should be traded if said prisoner "has criminal ties to the receiving country, as transferring him could well be more likely to facilitate reintegration into his criminal milieu than to facilitate rehabilitation into civil society." And of course these five have criminal ties in Qatar as the main Taliban office is located in Qatar...an office that is directly connected to the Taliban military command back in Afghanistan.

Also, according to our Justice Department's 'Guidelines for the Evaluation of Transfer Applications of Federal Prisoners,' the United States can only transfer a prisoner to a country with which it...the U.S...has a prisoner transfer treaty agreement and of which the prisoner is a citizen. Now remember, the terrorists were NOT freed per se, but were 'transferred' to the custody of the Qataris but they are NOT citizens of Qatar...they are Afghan citizens being transferred to a third country...that being Qatar...so right there the transfer was ILLEGALLY done and done by knowingly breaking our laws by Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

And this next little bit of information is a biggie folks as the U.S. does NOT...I repeat NOT...have a prisoner exchange agreement, a bilateral transfer agreement, or any such transfer agreement NOT only NOT with Qatar, in fact, we have NO such agreements in place with Afghanistan or Pakistan either...all countries involved to one degree or another with Berghdal and his captivity. And you can see the list of those countries we do have transfer agreements with right on the Justice Department web site itself by clicking on this link: http://www.justice.gov/criminal/oeo/iptu/lists.htm...

So here we have proof positive that Barack HUSSEIN Obama knowingly, willfully, and with malice ...as he knew what this transfer ultimately means for the Afghans... broke the laws of the United States of America...and this sitting Congress still does NOTHING but talk the talk instead of walking the walk.

And besides this being a form of 'aiding and abetting the enemy' during a time of war...a treasonable offense in and of itself...this prisoner exchange is a move done by this president...besides to appease his islamic brethren...for NOTHING but political expediency as it disengages us from the Afghan war theater by a date sure to influence votes in the November mid-term elections, especially the votes of those Americans tired of this long drawn out war...a war gone on too long simply because America's 'supposed' Commander-in-Chief has our soldiers NOT being allowed to fight to win, but who are being forced to fight solely to 'win the hearts and minds' of the enemy...something this White House knew from the start would never happen.

Also Obama violates...while NOT law per se...the U.S. policy of NOT negotiating with terrorists as the deal reached...a deal hailed as a victory by Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar...gives added incentive for the Taliban to take U.S. soldiers, diplomats, and citizens hostage, and to use them as a bargaining tool for any and all manner of demands made by both the enemy and rogue terrorist groups.

And Obama will surely bow down to his brethren and acquiesce again to any and all demands they make.

And with Bergdahl NOT being a hostage...as hostages usually have as demands for their release cash and lots of it...but with his being a deserter at best and a traitor at worst...and as the five Taliban claim they are NOT terrorists but enemy combatants captured in war...Obama just keeps on saying over and over that this was NOT a 'terrorists-for-hostages' exchange but an exchange of prisoners of war. But with neither Bergdahl nor the 5 Taliban being POWs, we all know Obama's words are pure unadulterated...to put it mildly...crap. Remember, according to those who were there, Bowe Bergdahl willingly walked into away and into the hands of the Taliban...therefore he was NO POW...and the Taliban were NOT enemy combatants but were and still are terrorist operatives of the highest degree.

So on all accounts Obama most assuredly violated quite a few of our laws (see yesterday's op-ed about sedition) NOT the least of which is the fact that he circumnavigated a law which is part of NDAA that requires the White House to notify Congress 30 days in advance of any transfer of GITMO prisoners. Saying that he needed to seize the opportunity to go in and get Bergdahl now because of his concerns about Bergdahl’s health deteriorating if the transfer was delayed...Obama once again bold-faced LIED to the American people as in NO way do the pictures and videos of Bowe Bergdahl that have been released show a man in ill-heath.

So now the ball is in the hands of Congress to do what has long been overdue... impeach and then arrest, try, and convict Barack HUSSEIN Obama on the grounds of treason in that this release of the 5 Taliban directly 'aids and abets' the enemy...and then have the sentence for that conviction carried out...period.
