The Oath of the President of the United States


US Constitution, Article II, Section 1


Before he enter on the execution of his office, he shall take the following oath or affirmation: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."


The case could be made that Obama has violated the oath of the office of the Presidency of the United States in not closing the borders at the threat of a global pandemic of the Mexican flu, the violations of the U.S. Constitution in the CIFTA, and his refusal to clarify the circumstances of his birth. Think about it.

LINCOLN COUNTY TEA PARTY MEETING REPORT FROM PAT WHITE

Pat White sent ORF this email. Pat lives in Ruidoso. Thanks Pat.


Hi,

I went to the Tea Party Town Hall last night and listened with interest to the proposals. of those below offered by Gov Bill the two that will be relatively easy to do will be stop double dipping and Eliminating exempt postings.


I heard these legislatures we going to TRY to get the personnel cuts to be more top heavy and not be so detrimental to field personal who perform the actual work of government.


They are going to try to remove ALL exempt positions.


Look for some kind of tort reform.

Recovery of funds fro Pay to Play scams.


Stop Junk Science envormental policy and its costs. $70 M


Possibly stop Movie Tax Credits. $85 M


Reduce the state workforce by about2,300 bringing government back into line with most other states.


There were many more proposals but these were the bib ones. The consensuses is that the Senate is no problem but the House is run roughshod over and compromise is much harder to achieve. The special interests have great pull in the House.

The Long Term Cost of this Healthcare Reform

Cap and Trade does nothing to improve the environment.  Healthcare Reform does nothing to improve healthcare.   Is there a pattern starting to appear?  I believe the answer is yes.

Here is what these two scams have in common.  Our national debt clock is ticking. If you don't believe me, go to:


http://www.usdebtclock.org/

http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/



With the passage of the proposed "healthcare reform", an additional $130,000.00 will be added to the $39,000.00 each citizen is now saddled with in national debt.  

That is a whopping $169,000.00 per person.  

Will someone please tell me how we and our children can ever get even or get ahead when we each owe $169,000.00 in federal taxes?  

This does not take into account Cap and Trade and the 120 some odd other taxes we pay to state and local governments.

"Mortgaging our future" seems like a gross understatement to me.

OPEN CARRY EVENT TOLD TO MOVE BY POLICE

Title click to read article on the SUN-NEWS website.


From the article:

"Dan Woodruff, founder of Alamogordo's 2ATF, said Friday that his group was asked by the Alamogordo Department of Public Safety to move from its planned spot in front of Founder's Park to Alamogordo Airborne Memorial Park. The two locations are located diagonally across from each other at the intersection of 10th and White Sands.

The problem, Woodruff said, is that the spot is already occupied by the Otero TEA Party Patriots. The 2ATF was asked by ADPS to move, he said, because another group indicated plans to protest the protesters.

"This group didn't file a permit," Woodruff said. "That's great. They can protest. What we're irritated about is we had to file a permit and this group did not. You either need a permit or you don't. If one group needs one, then everyone needs one."

Woodruff said guns are a tool people use to commit crimes."

EUROPEAN TIMES: OBAMA ORDERS 1 MILLION AMERICAN TROOPS TO PREPARE FOR U.S. CIVIL WAR

Title click to read this article on EUROPEAN TIMES website.


From the article:

"Russian Military Analysts are reporting to Prime Minister Putin that US President Barack Obama has issued orders to his Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM) top leader, US Air Force General Gene Renuart, to “begin immediately” increasing his military forces to 1 million troops by January 30, 2010, in what these reports warn is an expected outbreak of civil war within the United States before the end of winter.

According to these reports, Obama has had over these past weeks “numerous” meetings with his war council about how best to manage the expected implosion of his Nations banking system while at the same time attempting to keep the United States military hegemony over the World in what Russian Military Analysts state is a “last ditch gambit” whose success is “far from certain”.


U.S. Forces Plan Direct Action Against American Citizens

http://www.eutimes.net/2009/12/us-forces-plan-direct-action-against-american-citizens/


From the article:

“There is being made an effort to bring together the Armed Forces of this Nation in preparation for responding to and acting against the interests of our Citizens,” Everson said. Such efforts include actions that will be so deep and penetrating that the United States will never be the same. Everson explained that the deteriorating economy combined with Federal Reserve theft of trillions unaccounted for has had a devastating effect on Americans who had have enough and the US Military expects will respond by defending what little they have left.

“The American people have reached the point of total saturation due to the failure of Government to protect its borders, corruption and theft.” Everson expects that such a response has been projected by US Government computer models and believes NORTHCOM, DHS and state and local authorities will begin implementation of Operation Garden Plot and Martial Law within 45-60 days. “Civil war is precisely what this administration wants to happen,” said Everson. “And before Americans can organize themselves they will be destroyed by their own military.”


"The first signs of pacification by our own forces will not only be convoys rolling through city streets and small towns throughout the Country, but direct military action against pre-targeted areas. Data acquired in the past year by “Census workers” has been used to program military targeting computers which our own armed forces will use in the unthinkable task of fighting its own citizenry."

AMENDING EXECUTIVE ORDER 12425 GRANTS IMMUNITY TO INTERPOL

Title click to read article on PATRIOT ROOM website.


From the article:

"And then comes December 17, 2009, and President Obama. The exemptions in EO 12425 were removed:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 1 of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288), and in order to extend the appropriate privileges, exemptions, and immunities to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), it is hereby ordered that Executive Order 12425 of June 16, 1983, as amended, is further amended by deleting from the first sentence the words "except those provided by Section 2(c), Section 3, Section 4, Section 5, and Section 6 of that Act" and the semicolon that immediately precedes them.

What does this mean? It means that we have an international police force authorized to act within the United States that is no longer subject to 4th Amendment Search and Seizure. The "property and assets of [INTERPOL], wherever located and by whomsoever held, shall be immune from search, unless such immunity be expressly waived, and from confiscation."

INTERPOL, an international criminal police organization, is now poised to reside above the United States Constitution - in a place of sanctity beyond our FBI, CIA, DIA, and all other criminal investigatory domestic organizations.

President Obama has just placed our Constitutional rights under international law."

NULLIFICATION: COLORADO WILL HAVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON FEDERALLY MANDATED HEALTHCARE ON NOV BALLOT

Title click to read article on DENVER POST website.


From the article:

"Coloradans will likely be asked in November to blunt the impact of federal health-insurance reform with a state constitutional amendment that would attempt to undo some of what Congress is trying to pass.


Jon Caldara of the Independence Institute said Tuesday that he is still working on the language for his proposal, which would then need signatures from 76,047 voters to make the ballot. But he intends to find out in the fall whether voters want to stop the federal government from dictating insurance requirements to Coloradans.


At the same time, a freshman state lawmaker says she'll push her legislative colleagues to opt the state out of the congressional health care reforms."

THREATS WATCH: Executive Order Amended to Immunize INTERPOL In America

Title click to read article on THREATS WATCH.com


From the article:

Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order "Amending Executive Order 12425." It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other "International Organizations" as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.

By removing language from President Reagan's 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates - now operates - on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.


...and


For an added and disturbing wrinkle, INTERPOL's central operations office in the United States is within our own Justice Department offices. They are American law enforcement officers working under the aegis of INTERPOL within our own Justice Department. That they now operate with full diplomatic immunity and with "inviolable archives" from within our own buildings should send red flags soaring into the clouds.

This is the disturbing context for President Obama's quiet release of an amended Executive Order 12425. American sovereignty hangs in the balance if these actions are not prevented through public outcry and political pressure. Some Americans are paying attention, as can be seen from some of the earliest recognitions of this troubling developmenthere, here and here. But the discussion must extend well beyond the Internet and social media.

Ultimately, a detailed verbal explanation is due the American public from the President of the United States detailing why an international law enforcement arm assisting a court we are not a signatory to has been elevated above our Constitution upon our soil.

WARNING: 2010-THE BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE YEARS IS FAST APPROACHING



ORF sounds the alarm to NEW MEXICO SOVEREIGNS:

Now is the time to rally under YOUR NEW MEXICO STATE CONSTITUTION, YOUR NEW MEXICO BILL OF RIGHTS and learn what the rhetoric many of you are shouting actually means.

DID YOU EVER THINK TO APPROACH THE ILLEGAL EXPANSION OF FEDERAL AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION as an invading foreign entity?

YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS WON'T DO SQUAT IN PROTECTING YOUR STATE SOVEREIGNTY!

REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT SAID ONE WORD ABOUT PROTECTING NEW MEXICO STATE SOVEREIGNTY. WHY? (we don't know...maybe they don't want you to know you are a sovereign of the State of New Mexico. When they regain power they will probably continue on a course very similar to the present administration. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.)

ORF will be pushing for NEW MEXICO STATE SOVEREIGNTY in the year 2010. When you
contact your elected officials...you know...those guys who never respond except with an email generated by a cyber-personality...TELL THEM YOU EXPECT THEM TO APPROACH ALL FEDERAL INTRUSIVE POLICIES FROM THE STANCE OF PROTECTING NEW MEXICO SOVEREIGNTY.


PARODY: OBAMA CENTER FOR HYSTERICAL DISEASE PARANOIA: DUTCH ELM DISEASE RAVAGES U.S. POPULATION



The OBAMA Center for Hysterical Disease Paranoia has issued a nationwide alert warning Americans of the ravages of human contracted Dutch Elm Disease. According to the OCHDP, the disease thought only to occur in sick trees, is now sweeping the American population in unprecedented numbers. The disease is particularly prevalent in sick kids.


Since the flop of H1N1 or Swine Flu didn't generate the mass hysteria anticipated by the OCHDP, the government organization previously known as the Chicago B Movie Festival, has issued alerts telling people their children have Dutch Elm Disease. The OCHDP will be issuing a vaccine along with preventative measures to all Americans. The vaccine consists of a healthy dose of Miracle-Gro. The preventative measures consist of a 40lb. bag of bone meal and a bucket of methane free manure.

(THIS SENTENCE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK...I MEAN...WHOEVER HEARD OF METHANE FREE MANURE [?']).

The OCHDP urges Americans to panic, form an unruly mob, and run to the nearest EXIT sign.

OBAMA MOST ETHICAL PRESIDENT SINCE AL CAPONE

????.....ORF SAYS: Al Capone wasn't a president....ORF SAYS: Neither is Obama.

The question therefore is: Does the election of an individual make them President? Of course the majority of you will say; 'why yes, of course. The person was elected by the popular vote of the Citizens of the United States'. (SNARK SNARK)...okay...let's not debate the flaws of the Electoral College...the substance of this question is; has Obama become President since he assumed the power of the office or is he filling the position and NOT performing as President?

Dan from ALAMOGORDO 2ND AMENDMENT RIGHTS TASK FORCE sent this to ORF.
Thanks Dan.

From the article:

"After hearing passionate arguments from the Obama Administration, the Supreme Court acquiesced to the president’s fervent request and, in a one-line ruling, let stand a lower court decision that declared torture an ordinary, expected consequence of military detention, while introducing a shocking new precedent for all future courts to follow: anyone who is arbitrarily declared a “suspected enemy combatant” by the president or his designated minions is no longer a “person.” They will simply cease to exist as a legal entity. They will have no inherent rights, no human rights, no legal standing whatsoever — save whatever modicum of process the government arbitrarily deigns to grant them from time to time, with its ever-shifting tribunals and show trials."
