Report From Washington - July 8, 2011

As stimulus fades unemployment rises / Obama wants Arab oil not Canadian oil / Obama, George Soros and the Libyan rebels / Congressman Todd Akin on the hatred of God liberals have / Congressman says don't fund same-sex military training / Gays for GOP presidential candidate? / Change the story of 9-11? / Islamists demand three UK cities / Pakistan's Christian sex slaves / Imam says, "The world belongs to us."
 

CHAIRMAN'S REPORT FOR JUNE 29th, 2011 - William J Murray reports on President Obama, Congress and terrorism. This issue includes Obama's drive to make us more dependent on energy from despotic nations and his release of oil from the Strategic Reserve. The genocide of Christians in the Sudan which Obama is also ignoring while assisting Muslims in Egypt is questioned. At the Capitol Peter King's hearings on radical Islam in our prisons and the Child Interstate Abortion Notification bill are investigated. On the international front the continued slaughter of Christians in Nigeria by the Boko Haram is discussed. Also covered is the continued push for sharia law in Egypt by elements of the Muslim Brotherhood.

PRESIDENCY 

AS STIMULUS FADES UNEMPLOYMENT RISES - Both the markets and the White House were "stunned" today when unemployment rose to 9.2% and the economy created only 16,000 jobs in June. To put the number of new jobs in perspective, it takes 125,000 new jobs a month just to cover population growth. Liberal Democrats will scream for even more government spending, but that is always just a short term solution. Real job growth comes through private investment which the Obama Administration is discouraging through regulation and the threat of new taxes on business. OBAMA WANTS ARAB RATHER THAN CANADIAN OIL - Only Saudi Arabia has more recoverable oil reserves than Alberta, Canada. Unfortunately for Americans, the Obama Administration does not want oil from Alberta because it comes primarily from oil sands and Obama's "green" supporters don't like that fact. Currently Obama's EPA is blocking the construction of a pipeline to the USA from Alberta that would bring investments of over $9 billion and create 100,000 jobs. Simply put, out of liberal ideology, Obama would rather have American dollars flow to Arab nations that fund extremist Islam than to Canada.

OBAMA, GEORGE SOROS AND THE LIBYAN "REBELS" - The foreign affairs adviser for a top U.S. lobby firm hired to represent the rebels of Libya served a few months ago as President Obama's special representative to Egypt, where he reportedly held a clandestine meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood. In addition, a public relations firm working on behalf of the rebels recently arranged a meeting for Libya's opposition with a progressive group funded by billionaire George Soros that is known for its close relationship with the White House.

THE CONGRESS 

CONGRESSMAN SAYS LIBERALISM SPRINGS FROM HATRED FOR GOD - Missouri Congressman Todd Akin (R) refused to retract his statement that liberals have a "hatred for God." Akin said of NBC editing out the words "under God" from the Pledge, "Well, I think NBC has a long record of being very liberal and at the heart of liberalism really is a hatred for God and a belief that government should replace God. And so they've had a long history of not being at all favorable toward many of things that have been such a blessing to our country. These powerful words have liberals enraged." According to Akin, "This is a systematic effort to try to separate our faith and God, which is a source in our belief in individual liberties, from our country. And when you do that you tear the heart out of our country." Read more

DON'T FUND SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IN MILITARY - Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) has offered an amendment to H.R. 2219, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2012, which would prohibit the implementation of the Navy's new guidance on same sex marriage for its chaplains. This comes after the Navy recently issued guidance to their chaplains to officiate at same-sex marriages on military bases. This was a contradiction to the Defense of Marriage Act, and so, Members of Congress sent a letter urging the rescindment of this new policy. The Navy decided to halt the policy until further notice, but it is safe to assume that they may reinstate the policy at some point in the future. This amendment would halt funds for the implementation of these guidelines. Contact your congressman and urge him to support Huelskamp's amendment.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

GAYS FOR JON HUNTSMAN - I was just a little stunned when someone sent me a link to a story in Q Salt Lake. The Q stands for queer and it is a gay newspaper in Salt Lake City which has semi-endorsed Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman. Rather than editorialize I will quote directly from the gay site, "While there are no official endorsements from any caucuses or groups within the Republican Party yet, the Utah Log Cabin Republicans worked with Huntsman when he was governor, and are ready and willing to work continue that relationship," Melvin Nimer, the president of the ULCR, said. "Huntsman was the first governor of Utah to open up the governor's mansion to the LGBT community," Nimer said. "They [the Huntsman campaign team] have reached out to get some help from us and some people within the group are working with him." Having read this glowing endorsement of Huntsman in the official "queer" site, I think I will personally reach out to a different candidate. 

NO 911 MOSQUE

CHANGE THE STORY - Believe it or not that is the name of the website set up to do just that, change the story of the 9-11 jihad attack on America. Numerous young leftists have also been recruited to pass out literature daily at Ground Zero to distract from the horror of 9-11 and promote the construction of an Islamic rabat at the site.

INTERNATIONAL 

ISLAMISTS DEMAND TAKEOVER OF THREE UK CITIES - Islamic extremists have called on British Muslims to establish three independent states within the UK. The notorious Muslims Against the Crusades (MAC) group have named Yorkshire towns Bradford and Dewsbury, as well as Tower Hamlets in East London, as testbeds for blanket sharia rule. The medieval 'emirates' would operate entirely outside British law, according to a document on the MAC website. Read more

PAKISTAN CHRISTIAN SEX SLAVES - One may argue that rape is a phenomenon that affects every society, yet the fact that most women raped in Pakistan come from the mere 2% Christian minority speaks for itself. Moreover, if you go to the links of these anecdotes, you will find that in every single case the Pakistani police either did nothing to apprehend the culprits or, more often, actually helped them while turning against the victims. Even though Pakistan is not a full-blown Sharia state and tries to save face in front of the international infidel--Sharia has nonetheless conditioned even the police to see infidel Christian women as little more than objects of pleasure which Muslim men can violate at will. Read more

IMAM SAYS: "THE WORLD BELONGS TO US" - The United States has officially recognized the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and looks forward to "working with" it. Muslim Brotherhood Egyptian Shaykh Safwat Hegazy in a recent video threatened Jews and Christians, and ultimately the whole world, saying, "Jerusalem belongs to us, and the whole world belongs to us." He states the Islamic caliphate will return, and that "every land upon which Islam has set foot will return to us." He makes pointed references to Qurayza and Khaybar, which are clear threats against the Jews, and also states, "we will kill anyone who has polluted the al-Aqsa Mosque." Sounds like the White House has made some real interesting friends. See translated video

RELEASE ASIA BIBI NOW - Pakistani Christians are demanding the release of Asia Bibi, mother of five, who has been falsely accused of blasphemy and jailed for nearly two years. Blasphemy laws in Pakistan are used to blackmail Christians and steal their homes and land. This is just one more outrage. More at Pakistan Christian Post

THE PRESIDENT

PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH- The front pages of the major newspapers, all liberal, feature photos of Barack Obama every day. A stranger to our land would think that he is already our president. Not often mentioned is our current President, George W. Bush. Yet, with the war now being won in Afghanistan and Iraq and the major intelligence changes he introduced codified, his esteem among foreign leaders is growing. During his final tour of Europe he convinced the British to send more troops to Afghanistan and the Italians to lend more support to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

OBAMA FIRST TO REFUSE FED FUNDS - Barack Obama will be the first Presidential candidate to refuse federal funding for the general election since the program was begun after the corruption plagued Nixon campaign in 1972. If McCain stays in the federal program he will be limited to $82.5 million dollars while Obama may spend as much as he can raise. NOTE: A California, Florida or New York Senate campaign can cost over $50 million because of the cost of TV advertising. Obama may be able to raise and outspend McCain by a 2 to 1 margin this Fall as most of the rich favor Democrats.

THE REAL OIL STORY - Barack Obama and his Green religion backers do not want you to know this: If the existing "marginal wells" in the United States were reopened, within 30 days we would not have to import a single barrel of oil from the Middle East! A marginal well is one that produces 15 or fewer barrels per day. The Democrat controlled Congress refuses to pass the incentives to owners to reopen these wells. The Democrats are also blocking: 14 billion barrels of oil form the Continental Shelf, 10 billion barrels from ANWR, 2 trillion barrels from the Rockey Mountains, and 179 billion barrels from the Canadian Oil Sands. The USA is the only nation in the world that blocks offshore dilling. The USA forbids American oil companies from obtaining oil from the Canadian oil sands. The reserves in the USA are three times those of Saudi Arabia, but laws on the books do not allow exploration. Thank Senator Barack Obama and the Democrats for the price of gasoline.

THE CONGRESS

DNC - PARTY OF THE RICH Radical left Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is one of the ten richest members of the Congress. Last year she estimated her wealth between $15 million and $55 million and that did not include most of her husband's extensive real estate holdings. Recently she added $25 million to the Water Bill to improve San Francisco's Embarcadero port area where husband owns extensive property. Pelosi sees no problem in raising taxes by 10% - it makes no difference to someone who earns millions a year. Beside, she can direct the taxpayers' money to her husband's benefit. Read more

GOP HAS HOPE IN HIGH GAS PRICE - The Democrat leaders like the high price of gas so much that they actually want to add additional taxes and make the price even higher. Democrat leaders are so tied up in the Green religion that they believe the best way to save the planet is to price gasoline out of the reach of the average citizen. Meanwhile, the Republicans don't much want the price of gasoline to go down either. "This is the issue that can save us in November," one GOP leader told me. If gas prices stay where they are, the Republicans think they can take back the House. Why? Since Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats took over, the price of gas has doubled.

SENATE STANDSTILL HALTS FEC - The Federal Election Commission can't function because it does not have enough members for a quorum. In this critical election year Democrat Leader Harry Reid blocked a vote on new appointees to the FEC. Senate Minorty Leader McConnell said, "I am extremely disappointed that our friends on the other side of the aisle have objected to a fully functioning Federal Election Commission. Just yesterday, their nominee called the system 'broken.'" Senator Reid is also blocking the confirmation of virtually all judges, believing that a Barack Obama victory will allow Obama to fill all the vacant posts with members of the ACLU.

FAIRNESS IS CENSORSHIP - Sounds like something out of the novel Brave New World, but liberal governments all over the world are eliminating free speech in the name of "fairness", and Democrats want to censor Americans here at home. Just one example is President Lulu of Brazil who says opposing homosexuality is a sickness. He believes being against homosexual relations should be made a crime punishable by law. (SEE LULU STORY) In our Congress, Nancy Pelosi's idea of "fairness" is to force Rush Limbaugh to have someone present in the studio to refute minute by minute every word he has to say. Read more on the Fairness Doctrine.

CULTURE AND RELIGION

ONE NATION UNDER GOD - Here is a great gift for those defending our nation or anyone who believes this is "One Nation Under God." The Shields of Strength stainless steel dog-tag is engraved with Joshua 1:9. Thousands of our troops and veterans already wear these as a reminder of God's presence. The small price of $4.49 each Includes a 24" neck chain. for more information or to order click here or on image. ALSO: See the full line of patriotic "god tags" at this location.

SAUDI ISLAMIC ACADEMY DIRECTOR ARRESTED - Women have no rights in Islam. So when a 5-year-old girl student told Abdalla Al-Shabnan that she had been sexually abused, it was not reported to authorities. He has been arrested for obstruction of justice for failing to report the crime. (Read arrest.) This is the same school I reported on last week, which teaches hatred of Jews and Christians and promotes Jihad. The school is operated by the Saudi government and could be closed by the State Department. However, Secretary Rice continues to defend the school and refuses to even furnish copies of the hate filled text books to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom.

INTERNATIONAL

RFC SPONSORS SAUDI CONFERENCE - The Religious Freedom Coalition was one of the chief sponsors of a Capitol Hill conference on Saudi Arabia. The conference at the Rayburn House Office Building on June 18th was titled U.S.-Saudi Dilemma: A challenge for the next Administration. The conference centered on the feudal Saudi Royal regime and its despotic nature. The Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia has good information on the conditions there from the view point of a Saudi national. Read more

UN OFFICIAL SAYS CONSERVATIVES ATTACKED TRADE CENTER - Prof. Richard Falk, a U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel, said a commission is needed to determine if American conservatives played a role in the September 11, 2001 attack on New York and Washington. This is just further proof that the UN should be dissolved and the UN building in New York pulled down and replaced by a mushroom farm. Read complete story about this nut.

IRAQI CHRISTIANS - Hope is all but lost that the United States government will do the right thing by the hundreds of thousands of Christians who have been persecuted and forced from their homes in Iraq. Our government still slams the door of our embassies in the faces of Christian refugees and tells them to go beg for food and shelter from the United Nations. I will personally travel to Amman, Jordan in July to work on a program to assist Christian refugees. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED. Click here to help

UPDATE ON AMI'S CONDITION - On March 20th a bomb hidden in a fruit gift basket exploded in the face of Ami Ortiz, the 16 year old son of Evangelist David Ortiz at their home in Ariel, Israel. I have posted the major updates on his condition as David and his wife Leah have sent them to me. The June update is very hopeful for Ami. Read update. Because of the interest a group has made a slide show of the bombing, with before and after pictures of Ami which show how he has improved since the bombing. See slide show here.
