Venezuela's Socialist President Accuses Joe Biden Of Plotting To Overthrow Him

(Yes, this Joe Biden...
Joe Biden couldn't overthrow the toilet when he blows lunch.  I think Venezuela is safe...)
"What... who me??"



Via El Universal:


Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro once again reported an alleged coup d'état against him, masterminded by the United States.

"My responsibility is to call upon people to be on the maximum alert level. A plan has been launched for a coup d'état. I know well what I am saying," said the president during a government event on Sunday.

Maduro once again claimed US Vice-President Joe Biden is involved in an alleged conspiracy to topple him. "The imperial power has entered into a despair phase (...) They, in their madness, do not realize the strength (Venezuelan) people have," Maduro noted.

He added that the attacks against the Venezuelan Armed Forces and Congress Speaker Diosdado Cabello are part of such plot.
"Every once in a while I just have a compelling need to shoot my mouth off."

More and more American states, counties and cities are discovering ICLEI's unconstitutional and subversive agenda and the direct ties that ICLEI maintains with the United Nations' Agenda 21 and Mikael Gorbachev's Earth Charter.

It is no surprise that ICLEI had to delete its webpage listing its Members in the United States of America.

Here is a cached version of ICLEI's US membership list from July 3rd, 2013:

A video worth watching.
Please notice he mentions NGO's at the very beginning of the video.
NGO's may or may not know of their ties to ICLIE, Agenda 21 and the UN.
If they do know they are affiliated with ICLIE, they sure as hell are not going to tell you,
especially they won't tell you of the funding they may be receiving from ICLIE,,  now would they?
Do we need private organizations directing, manipulating or controlling our local governments.
Should our local governments be giving money to private organizations as membership fees or for any other reason?

Even Obama is using these tactics, go figure!


Social engineering and behavior modification are some of the true objectives being implemented under the guise of environmental and climate protection. This is accomplished by exploiting people's desire to maintain a healthy and lasting environment in the name of "sustainability." Here is an example of how ICLEI changes behavior, just like another organization called "Fostering Sustainable Behavior".

It is also ICLEI's job to implement United Nation's policies that restructure our representative form of government through global and regional development . Policies and programs take control from our representative government and put it into the hands of regional, non-elected boards. This allows elected officials to shirk their responsibilities. It turns us into a soviet system that is based on Regionalism. It facilitates both communism and fascism. Representative government with defined limits is the basis of a free and just society.



Ross


Too many elected officials such as Cool Mayors allow ICLEI to influence policy changes through the use of funding incentives and rewards.
While some of these policies sound good on the surface, they result in consequences such as:


High-density housing scams
Traffic congestion
Open space where access is not allowed
Government "partnering" with favored private businesses and non-profit agencies, using your tax money
Undermining Constitutional administration of government
Managed control over your life
Mismanagement of public utilities
Prohibitions on natural resource management leading to increased fire hazards, lack of water, and private property restrictions,
Increased taxes, fees, regulations and restrictions

Is ICLEI or an NGO running your town or coming to a town near you?

Conspiracy Theory Fruitloop Jesse Ventura On Chris Kyle:
"The Nazis Had Heroes" As Well

VENTURA: A hero should have honor. A hero is not how many people you've killed. You know he's obviously a great sniper. He's obviously a great shot. He obviously did his job correctly. Alan let me fire this one at you: Do you think the Nazis have heroes?

COLMES: Well, obviously the Nazis were fighting for a cause we can't condone.

VENTURA: Wait Wait Wait. When they invaded a country, when they invaded Poland, when they invaded France, and if a Nazi soldier killed a hundred people that had lived there, would he be classified a hero in Germany?

COLMES: But are you comparing what the Nazi mission was versus what our mission is in war as a country?

VENTURA: Well what I'm stating is we invaded Iraq, we were not asked in. We invaded a country, we overthrew its government, and then we killed people that lived there.

COLMES: Are we analogous to the Nazis?

VENTURA: Well, and the Communists, yeah.

The former WWF nut-case also addressed the vaccination issue, saying the government has no right to demand vaccinations, and that the health of his own daughter had been damaged by being vaccinated.

I'm not sure about Ventura being a nut case because I don't watch him, however Obama and the Republicans are both supporting the sniper thing.  Obama and the Republicans do not  have much recent record of defending American liberty.  Mrs. Obama and the neocons have taken the side of the snipers.  The Republicans and Obama support the New World Order.  Perhaps Ventura has a point.  Warph, you might want to take another look at all this sniper business.

Weren't we told Alinsky methods were in use here in Elk County?
Is it possible the Alinsky methods still in use, here in Elk County?


MEET OBAMA ORGANIZER
WORKING TO BOOT BIBI
Mentored by disciple of notorious Radical Saul Alinsky
Published: 11 hours ago


Saul Alinsky

TEL AVIV – Jeremy Bird, the national field director for President Obama's 2012 re-election campaign,
specializes in the revolutionary tactics infamously pioneered by radical community organizer Saul Alinsky.

WND has found that Bird was schooled by a key figure in Alinksy's organizing movement and that he has since been involved in scores of progressive political campaigns seeking to fundamentally transform the U.S.

Bird has played a central role in a major organizing effort attempting to make Texas a swing state; in a political super PAC created to draft Hillary Clinton to the 2016 ticket; and an international anti-gun effort founded by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, among many others.

Jeremy Bird

Now Bird is taking his wildly successful Chicago-esque, Alinsky brand of community organizing to Tel Aviv, where the field specialist has been making headlines for his paid consultancy to V15, an Israeli organization working to defeat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the general elections here in March.

V15 hired Bird's firm, 270 Strategies, to oversee the Israeli group's field and organizing efforts.

Israeli political campaigns are relatively unsophisticated compared to the political organizing machines that were the hallmarks of Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential bids. Bird's field tactics, if deployed here in full force, have the potential to revolutionize the Israeli left's organizing abilities.

In a sit-down interview with WND at V15's campaign headquarters last week, the group's founder, Nimrod Dweck, conceded that Israelis lack organizing skills and that Bird and his firm have been central to divining V15's field operations battle plan.

"Israelis don't know how to run field (operations) as Americans (do), and that was the major contribution of Jeremy's team," Dweck said.

Bird has provided "very professional help about how to organize, manage people, how to go door-to-door, how to talk to people on the street."

The left-leaning Haaretz daily in Israel described Bird as V15's secret weapon" in its race to replace Netanyahu's right-leaning government with a center-left coalition.

Data mining

Bird did not reply to a request to be interviewed for this profile.

He is largely known for his 2012 campaign role, where he was central to building what he described as "the strongest grassroots organization in the history of American presidential politics."

He explained Obama's 2012 re-election infrastructure, aptly titled Organizing for America, had 631 offices in swing states alone, compared to challenger Mitt Romney's 282.

According to Politico, Obama's grassroots network — led by 270 Strategies' Bird and Mitch Stewart — encompassed "10,000 neighborhood team leaders, 30,000 core team members and 2 million volunteers."

Bird's re-election team reportedly utilized publicly available information on voters, collecting as many as "500 data points on a single voter, from his reading habits to his opinions on the economy," according to a 2013 Bloomberg profile.

Bird helped to pioneer what the campaign called "Airwolf," named after a 1980s TV series that centered on a high-tech military helicopter that engaged in espionage and data collection efforts.

For example, Bloomberg documented, "If a voter cared about bringing home troops from Afghanistan, and also worried about the economy, the campaign sent that voter the name of an Obama supporter she would know and provided more information to try to move her to the president.

"It was auto-generated and coded, and came from campaign headquarters even though, to the recipient, it looked like it came from their peer," added Bloomberg.

Alinsky trainer

Bird did undergraduate studies at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, where he spent a semester abroad in Israel and reportedly took a keen interest in Israeli political activism.

"That's where I learned about politics," Bird said. "Ehud Barak was running against Benjamin Netanyahu; everybody was talking about it. It made me realize I didn't pay any attention to politics in the United States the way I should."

Barak was known for his leftist politics and would eventually offer PLO Leader Yasser Arafat a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and eastern Jerusalem. According to reports, Barak conceded sections of the Temple Mount, Judaism's holiest site. Arafat rejected the offer and instead launched an intifada, or terrorist war, targeting Israeli civilians.

Bird attended graduate school at Harvard Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He also enrolled in courses at the John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Bloomberg reported Bird enrolled in Harvard professor Marshall Ganz's course "Organizing: People, Power, and Change." Ganz became somewhat of a mentor to Bird and helped launch his organizing career.

Bird became a teaching assistant for Ganz at the time the professor was serving as an adviser to Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign. Dean broke new ground, as Bloomberg noted, by running one of the first presidential campaigns to merge grassroots organizing with new technology.

Ganz was so impressed by Bird he sent him to work on Dean's campaign so that Bird would gain experience utilizing "organizational techniques — similar to the ones Ganz used with farm workers in California in the 1980s — to affect electoral politics," Bloomberg reported.

What the news agency failed to note is that Ganz, who pioneered the organizing and volunteer network for Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, is a radical Alinsky community organizer.

Ganz is a former civil rights activist and staff member for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee who worked with César Chavez and the United Farm Workers beginning in 1965.

In 1980, Ganz became UFWs director of organizing. In 1991, Ganz returned to Harvard to complete his undergraduate degree in history and government. In 1993, he earned an MPA from the Kennedy School and completed his Ph.D. in sociology in 2000.

In California, Ganz was "mentored by figures from Saul Alinksy's community organizing movement," skills he put to use in the Obama campaign to train organizers, reported the Huffington Post.

Ganz was introduced to the Obama campaign through Kennedy School colleague Samantha Power, then one of Obama's senior foreign policy advisers.

In April 2007, reportedly met with Obama and then senior strategist David Axelrod at Harvard.

The Nation Magazine profiled Ganz: "After a series of meetings, Ganz was charged with the task of setting up a Camp Obama network, intensive community organizing–style training camps in which young people would be taught to tell Obama's story, to spread a message and generate the enthusiasm of a true grassroots movement.

"Its success was phenomenal, ultimately generating one of the most effective and broad-based presidential campaigns in American history."

Ganz also reportedly held two-day leadership training groups for "Camp Obama," the president's 2008 volunteer organization. He was instrumental in designing the initial field organizing and volunteer training infrastructure used by Obama's first campaign.

Following the 2008 election, Ganz became critical of Obama's slow pace at enacting progressive change.

Speaking to Bloomberg, Ganz recalled of Bird: "He seemed very earnest and, how can I say, looking for something real as opposed to theoretical, flaky sort of thing."

Ganz told the news agency that Bird's "calling is about engaging people in acting together in ways that they can alter their own life circumstances and that of the world around them. That's always been important to Jeremy, trying to sort through 'how does my calling translate into a career.'"

Exporting Obama model

After the 2012 campaign, Bird founded 270 Strategies with his colleagues from the Obama re-election team.

270 Strategies' team of 45 staffers includes 16 members who worked directly for Obama's campaigns. Most of the former Obama staffers hold the senior posts at the firm. Others worked for the Democratic Party, the Democratic National Committee or grassroots groups involved in progressive efforts, including a group to enroll Americans in Obamacare.

When the firm was founded last year, 270 Strategies brandished its leaders' central role in Obama's reelection campaign as part of a pitch to clients.

"We're building 270 Strategies to bring the empowering Obama grassroots model to your campaign," the group announced.

Common Core, SEIU, Hillary

270 Strategies' client list boasts numerous Democratic personalities and progressive organizations aside from Battleground Texas, including Terry McAuliffe, Cory Booker, Planned Parenthood and the union SEIU.

The firm is working to build what it describes as a "grassroots army" for the political super PAC "Ready For Hillary," so that, Bird announced, "if and when Hillary makes any decision about her political future, she'll have the grassroots army she needs to pave her way to victory and the White House."

Bird's group was reportedly hired to oversee grassroots organizing, volunteer training and recruitment for the pro-Hillary PAC.

270 Strategies consults for Mayors Against Illegal Guns, ex-NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg's gun reform advocacy group. The firm is helping Bloomberg's organization to expand its outreach nationwide and target key legislators to achieve gun policy reform.

It also helped to launch socialist-style group calling itself Peers, which bills itself as the country's first member-driven organization committed to a "sharing economy." Peers believes that the "21st century economy means sharing assets like cars, homes, skills, and time," relates 270 Strategies on its website.

Peers' director, Natalie Foster, previously worked for both the Obama administration and the progressive Sierra Club.

Bird co-founded the Battleground Texas Action Committee, which utilizes Alinsky-style field organizing in an attempt to turn Texas into a swing state.

Paid volunteers?

Bird's firm, meanwhile, reportedly ran a five day "270/360 Training Intensive" program last September, with students paying a $3,500 fee to learn field work. If the students reportedly paid an additional $1,500 they would be sent out for volunteer field work for various Democratic campaigns. The courses were also aimed at political groups worldwide to learn Obama-style organizing tactics and then deploy the training in their home countries.

The for-pay volunteer program and training course drew criticism from the progressive establishment.

"It's deeply concerning that leaders in our party are launching a 'pay to play' system for would-be campaign staff," one Democratic campaign veteran told BuzzFeed.

Mikey Franklin, a former progressive field staffer working to end the D.C. practice of unpaid internships, called the 270 Strategies course "shameful."

"It's a basic principle that people should work for pay; they shouldn't pay to work," Franklin said. "It's shameful that 270 Strategies are throwing their progressive values out of the window by charging $5,000 for a 5-day training and an unpaid internship. How will we win for the 99% if we only recruit from the 1%?"

Obuma Meets With Muslim Leaders At White House, Tries To Sell Them ObumaCrappyCare


(Oddly enough, the White House is refusing to say which Muslims leaders he met with...)

Via The Blaze:
http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/02/04/obama-meets-with-american-muslims-to-discuss-islamic-state-and-anti-muslim-discrimination/

Barack Obama reportedly talked to Muslim Americans about stopping the Islamic State and stopping anti-Muslim discrimination during a meeting at the White House Wednesday. He even talked to them about Obamacare.

Citing privacy issues, the White House refused to identify the Muslim leader who met with Obama in private. The meeting was closed to the press and did not include a list of participants. [...]

"The President reiterated his Administration's commitment to safeguarding civil rights through hate crimes prosecutions and civil enforcement actions," the White House release said.

The White House went on to say that the American Muslim community was working with the Muslim community "on a range of domestic issues such as the Affordable Care Act, issues of anti-Muslim violence and discrimination, the 21st Century Policing Task Force, and the upcoming White House Summit on Countering Violence Extremism."
