"Change" has indeed come to America, but not the kind most people had "hoped" for.


© 2010 WorldNetDaily

Less than two years into Barack Obama's presidency, America is on fire.

In November 2008, more than half of American voters were hypnotized by this mysterious, messianic figure on whom they pinned all their hopes and dreams. But since then, many have gradually realized their shining savior was really an incompetent, deceptive, pathologically narcissistic man entranced by an evil ideology that has left a trail of unprecedented misery and death for 100 years.

"Change" has indeed come to America, but not the kind most people had "hoped" for.

Moreover, as the stunning October issue of Whistleblower magazine – titled "FUTURE SHOCK" – proves beyond doubt, things are about to become immeasurably worse if Obama's maniacal leftist juggernaut isn't immediately halted and reversed.


Once Obamacare is implemented, the planned massive tax increases (including a likely VAT tax) take effect, amnesty and cap-and-trade pass in one form or another, and the rest of Obama's anti-business, job-destroying agenda is imposed, America – bankrupted financially, culturally, morally and spiritually – will be utterly unrecognizable as the "shining city on a hill" revered by all previous generations.

"Think of 'FUTURE SHOCK' as a crystal ball that enables readers to gaze deeply into America's future under Team Obama – unless we radically change course," said Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian.

Highlights of "FUTURE SHOCK" include:

* "Independence Day" by David Kupelian, on what's really at stake Nov. 2

* "Facing the future" by Joseph Farah, prescribing the required attitude for overcoming evil in the face of tremendous adversity

* "2011: 'Ticking tax time-bomb'" by Bob Unruh, documenting how coming massive hikes will throttle growth, kill jobs, suppress wages and squeeze every American

* "Obamacare unmasked" by David Kupelian, who shows why the Democrats' "healthcare reform" means three things: skyrocketing costs, loss of freedom, and yes, death panels




* "Obama policies destroying the American Dream" by Jerome Corsi, Ph.D., on how reckless and unsustainable spending is indenturing future generations of children

* "$787 billion stimulus fraud cost 3 million jobs" by Jerome Corsi, on the stunning admission by the Left that the bailout frenzy was always about advancing an ideological agenda, not about creating jobs

* "The real reason so few jobs are being created in America" by Porter Stansberry, a devastatingly clear description of why businesses cannot possibly thrive under Obama

* "The plan to nationalize 401(k) plans and IRAs" by Jerome Corsi

* "Amnesty, one way or another" by Art Moore, on how Obama has his sights firmly set on creating millions of new Democrat voters

* "Obama undermining U.S. quest for energy independence" by Michael Carl, who shows why thousands of Gulf Coast oil jobs are "lost forever" thanks to Obama's irrational clampdown on drilling

* "Homeland insecurity" by Felicia Dionisio, on how the Obama team's weakness is inviting domestic terror attacks

* "Capping America's future" by Art Moore, who reveals "climate change" hysteria is far from dead and that an economy-killing "global warming" tax may be breathing new life

* "How 2010 could 'remake' the Constitution" by Drew Zahn, who demonstrates that the next two elections – 2010 and 2012 –will likely determine the Supreme Court's makeup for a generation

* "Anything but fair" by Art Moore, showing how Democrats are still conspiring to return conservative talk radio to the Dark Ages

* ... and much more!

"Obama's socialist coup d'etat has spurred many Americans to learn, for the first time, about the long-term leftist subversion of their beloved country, culminating in the election of Obama as president," said Kupelian. "But now, 'FUTURE SHOCK' dramatically reveals what's coming next.

"It's an extremely frightening future America faces," he said. "And even if the House of Representatives goes to the Republicans in November, it will require an extraordinary, almost historic, level of courage and boldness on the GOP's part to reverse course. Millions of citizens will have to hold their feet to the fire every step of the way."

Adds WorldNetDaily Editor and CEO Joseph Farah: "This issue of Whistleblower is absolutely must reading for every American who is determined not to submit to a future where they are reduced to helpless, dependent subjects of a tyrannical, nanny government."

Ahhh He really cares about the children - How sweeeeet




DUBAI — Osama bin Laden criticized relief efforts in Pakistan and called for action against climate change in what appeared to be a new audio tape from the al-Qaida leader issued on Friday in an Islamist forum.

The message marks the second time in a year that Bin Laden has departed from his usual calls for armed attacks on the West to make a global theme such a natural disasters or economic crisis the centerpiece of a message.

It follows a statement in mid-September by al-Qaida number two Ayman al-Zawahri also accusing the Pakistani government of reacting too slowly to the floods and a statement earlier this week by an al-Qaida spokesman, Adam Gadahn, on a similar theme.

The bin Laden message, about 11 minutes long, was broadcast with a video showing still images of Bin Laden and images of natural disasters, the Islamist website used by al-Qaida said.

The authenticity of the tape and its precise release date could not be immediately confirmed. However, bin Laden congratulates Muslims on the holy month of Ramadan, which started on Aug. 11 and ended Sept. 9.


He describes the fate of the Pakistani people following catastrophic floods, saying: "Millions of children are out in the open air, lacking basic elements of living, including drinking water, resulting in their bodies shedding liquids and subsequently their death."

Bin Laden also touches on global warming, the second time he is believed to have made climate change a prominent theme of one of his statements.

"The huge climate change is affecting our (Islamic) nation and is causing great catastrophes throughout the Islamic world," he says in the tape. "It is not sufficient anymore to maintain the same relief efforts as previously, as it has become crucial to deliver tents, food and medicine."

Vulnerable to climate change
Islamic charities, some with suspected ties to militant groups, were quicker than the Pakistani government to provide relief to flood victims. Pakistani and U.S. officials have repeatedly expressed concern that the Taliban and other militant groups could exploit the disarray to gain recruits.

Experts say south Asia is particularly vulnerable to climate change. A thaw of glaciers in the Himalayas could disrupt flows in rivers from the Ganges to the Yangtze, affecting hundreds of millions of people in Asia. Rising seas are also a big threat to densely populated low-lying areas of Bangladesh.



Noman Benotman, a former bin Laden associate who now works for Britain's Quilliam counter-extremism think-tank, said his use of a humanitarian message was a sign of desperation and showed the group was trying anything to gain popular support.

Al-Qaida has never pursued systematic humanitarian work during natural disasters of the kind carried out by aid organizations and Islamic relief charities, analysts say.

Australian counterterrorism expert Leah Farrall described the statement as "hypocritical," noting that internal al-Qaida documents found in Afghanistan and dated about 2000 commanded members not to be "distracted by relief and aid operations."

Bin Laden urged a big transformation in how relief work is executed, calling the number of victims of climate change much bigger than the victims of war.

The message was bin Laden's first since March 25, when he threatened to execute any Americans captured by al-Qaida if accused Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was executed.

U.S. soldiers and Afghan militia forces assaulted the Tora Bora mountains in 2001 after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States in pursuit of the Saudi-born bin Laden.

But he has never been found and is believed to be hiding in the mountainous border areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Enviro-snuff film depicts exploding children 'Eco-crazy' warns: Cut your carbon or die













The 10:10 project was begun in 2009 by British documentary filmmaker Franny Armstrong to challenge people to cut carbon emissions 10 percent in 2010 as a way of fighting global climate change. The organization has since grown to include chapters or supporters in 152 countries.

Get "Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed" to see just how far the eco-fanatics will go to accomplish their agenda!

The "No Pressure" short was filmed by Richard Curtis, a movie director known primarily for the romantic comedies "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Notting Hill," among other projects.

Following the release of "No Pressure," however, the 10:10 campaign began to face pressure from the public – even from fellow environmentalists, reports the London Telegraph – to stop the video.

The film, though posted and available on sites like YouTube, has since been pulled from the organization's website and replaced with the following message:

Sorry.

Today we put up a mini-movie about 10:10 and climate change called "No Pressure."

With climate change becoming increasingly threatening, and decreasingly talked about in the media, we wanted to find a way to bring this critical issue back into the headlines whilst making people laugh. We were therefore delighted when Britain's leading comedy writer, Richard Curtis – writer of "Blackadder," "Four Weddings," "Notting Hill" and many others – agreed to write a short film for the 10:10 campaign. Many people found the resulting film extremely funny, but unfortunately some didn't, and we sincerely apologize to anybody we have offended.

As a result of these concerns we've taken it off our website. We won't be making any attempt to censor or remove other versions currently in circulation on the Internet.

We'd like to thank the 50+ film professionals and 40+ actors and extras and who gave their time and equipment to the film for free. We greatly value your contributions and the tremendous enthusiasm and professionalism you brought to the project.

At 10:10 we're all about trying new and creative ways of getting people to take action on climate change. Unfortunately in this instance we missed the mark. Oh well, we live and learn.

Jose say it is not so- Mexico Building a fence to keep Guatemalan immigrants Out - This is an outrage


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YobJc5cnk68&feature=player_embedded


Reporting from Guatemala City, Danilo Valladares of the Inter-Press Service (IPS) notes that there will be one more barrier for Guatemalan immigrants in their trek to the United States. In addition to dodging dangerous drug traffickers and immigration officials, the latest obstacle is emerging: a wall between Guatemala and Mexico.

According to the head of customs for Mexico’s tax administration, Raul Diaz, the Mexican border state of Chiapas is constructing a wall along the country’s southern border with Guatemala, along the river Suchiate which divides the countries. Diaz says the purpose of the wall is to prevent the passage of contraband, but admits, “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH), 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year — the vast majority of them attempting to reach the United States. In addition, smugglers reportedly use the Suchiate River to move goods across the international border without paying duty taxes.

Just as Mexican authorities have opposed more strict border enforcement and the construction of a border fence along the U.S. border with their country, Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from Guatemalan officials. According to IPS, Guatemalan civil and government organizations have called the move “senseless,” saying a border fence will not prevent undocumented migrants from crossing the border on their way north.

“We are watching the Mexican government’s initiative with concern because the migrants are in a situation of highest vulnerability, as demonstrated by the massacre in Tamaulipas, where five Guatemalans died,” Erick Maldonado, executive secretary of Guatemala’s National Council on Migrants, told IPS.

Similar to areas surrounding America’s southern border with Mexico, the Guatemalan-Mexico border region is wrought with crime, including lawless drug cartels’ kidnapping and exploitation of migrants. On Aug. 23, 72 migrants heading north from Guatemala were brutally murdered in San Fernando, a town on the Mexican side of the border. Authorities presume the massacre was carried out by a well-known drug cartel. In addition, a total of 9,758 kidnappings of migrants were reported in Mexico from Sept. 2008 to Feb. 2009, according to the CNDH.

Putting up a wall on the Guatemala-Mexico border “is going to make the migrants’ situation worse, because to meet their needs they are always going to find blind points where there are no migration or security controls, which implies greater risks,” said Maldonado.

Despite eyewitness reports of Mexican border fence construction having commenced — including the mayor of the western Guatemalan municipality of Ayutla — Guatemalan authorities say the Mexican government has yet to comment on the project.

In recent years, the United States government has worked cooperatively with Mexico in attempts to crack down on the flow of drugs into North America. Under the Bush administration signed on to the “Merida Initiative” in 2007. The State Department calls the Initiative a demonstration of “the United States’ commitment to partner with governments in Mexico, Central America, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic to confront criminal organizations whose actions plague the region and spill over into the United States.”

In 2007, Bush pledged $1.4 billion in aid aimed at improving Mexican and Central American military and police security despite reports of widespread corruption and border-area incursions. In 2008, Congress voted to allocate an additional $1.5 billion to the Merida program despite dubious results. Under President Obama’s administration, the Merida Initiative has ballooned. Introducing a “new phase” of the program, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained:

We are expanding the Mérida Initiative beyond what it was traditionally considered to be, because it is not just about security. Yes, that is paramount, but it is also about institution building. It is about reaching out to and including communities and civil society, and working together to spur social and economic development.

In 2010 alone, the United States has given $450 million to Mexico, with an additional $100 million requested from Congress to be sent to Central America, in order to “provide equipment and training to support law enforcement operations and technical assistance for long-term reform and oversight of security agencies,” says the State Department.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has halted the construction of a fence on America’s own southern border and the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to prevent the adoption of localized border state laws attempting to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and drug-related violence.

While the Obama administration condemns the efforts of Arizonans and the calls from many Americans who insist on constructing a fence on the country’s southern border, will the U.S. government continue to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to Mexico as they build their own border defenses?

Intelligence officials uncovered an Al Qaeda plot to carry out coordinated Mumbai-style terrorist attacks in major cities in Britain, France, Germany


Western intelligence officials have reportedly uncovered an Al Qaeda plot to carry out coordinated Mumbai-style terrorist attacks in major cities in Britain, France, Germany, and possibly the United States, according to unnamed counterterrorism and intelligence sources in Western governments, The Christian Science Monitor reports.

The would-be attackers reportedly planned to operate in small teams of heavily armed gunmen who would capture and execute Western hostages in Europe, similar to the attacks carried out in Mumbai in 2008 where 10 gunmen killed 166 people and injured more than 300 more.

Al Qaeda militants in the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan were said to be planning the attack. In an attempt to thwart them, Western authorities say they have been targeting the planners in CIA drone strikes in Pakistan. The BBC�s security correspondent Frank Gardner said the attack had recently moved from the �aspirational stage to actual planning.� Britain's Sky News, citing unnamed sources, said the plan was "in an advanced but not imminent stage."

Germany's Interior Ministry released a statement today saying it was aware of information pointing toward the possible attacks, but it was not changing its terrorism threat level. "At present there are no concrete pointers to imminent attacks in Germany stemming from this. The current pointers do not warrant a change in the assessment of the danger level," the ministry said, according to Reuters.

Tea Party’s DC Visitor Guide: Be Very Afraid of Black People


(ChattahBox)—A bunch of mostly white tea party members from small town America are preparing to descend on our nation’s Capitol this weekend for Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor Rally,” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. His event coincides with the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous “I have a Dream” speech given on the same date and same place. on August 28, 1963. Beck, who attacked President Obama, our first black president, as a “racist, who has a deep seated hatred of white people,” insists he didn’t know the significance of the date when planning his tea party rally. But he has steadily tried to co-opt King’s legacy, leading up to his event, angering civil rights leaders. Sarah Palin, a divisive public figure, will be a keynote speaker. The former half term governor recently supported Dr. Laura Schlessinger’ racist on-air N-word rant, saying “don’t retreat, reload,” advising the former talk radio host to “cast off” her “shackles.” And adding further insult to the memory of Martin Luther King’s fight for racial equality, teapartiers, having displayed bigoted and racist behavior in past rallies, are warning members to avoid areas of DC where they are likely to encounter Arabs and black people. While keeping a lookout for scary people of color, a Maine tea party website has also decided to engage in harassment and intimidation, by publishing the home addresses of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), encouraging members to “Feel free to protest!”

Glenn Beck, Fox News’ conspiracy-theorist-in-chief, has urged attendees not to display signs. Why? Because there hasn’t been a tea party gathering yet, that has not featured a variety of bigoted, racist and offensive signs.

Still, the teapartiers can hide their signs, but that won’t change who they are.

Let’s take a look at the DC travel advice posted on the Maine Refounders tea party website:

Safety and Mores

DC’s population includes refugees from every country, as the families of embassy staffs of third world countries tend to stay in DC whenever a revolution in their homeland means that anyone in their family would be in danger if they went back. Most taxi drivers and many waiters/waitresses (especially in local coffee shops like the Bread and Chocolate chain) are immigrants, frequently from east Africa or Arab countries. As a rule, African immigrants do not like for you to assume they are African Americans and especially do not like for you to guess they are from a neighboring country (e.g. Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia) with whom they may have political or military tensions. It’s rare to meet anyone who gets really offended, but you can still be aware of the issue.

Many parts of DC are safe beyond the areas I will list here, but why chance it if you don’t know where you are?

If you are on the subway stay on the Red line between Union Station and Shady Grove, Maryland. If you are on the Blue or Orange line do not go past Eastern Market (Capitol Hill) toward the Potomac Avenue stop and beyond; stay in NW DC and points in Virginia. Do not use the Green line or the Yellow line. These rules are even more important at night. There is of course nothing wrong with many other areas; but you don’t know where you are, so you should not explore them.

Tea party members are further advised to remain solely within Northwest DC, to avoid meeting up with any of those scary dark refugees.

“If on foot or in a cab or bus, stay in Bethesda, Arlington (preferably north Arlington), Crystal City, Falls Church, Annandale, or Alexandria, or in DC only in northwest DC west (i.e. larger street numbers) of 14th or 16th streets, or if on Capitol Hill only in SE Capitol Hill (zip 20003) between 1st and 8th Streets, not farther out than 8th (e.g. 9th, 10th etc). (Or stay on the Mall and at the various monuments.) Again there are many other lovely places, from the Catholic University of America to Silver Spring, Maryland. But you don’t know where you are so you cannot go, especially at night, unless you take me with you.”

From someone who lived in DC and enjoyed, even the “scary” Capitol Hill neighborhoods beyond 8th St., this teabagger visitor guide is patently ridiculous.

What will the xenophobic Maine teapartiers miss out on, by avoiding the scary Green and Yellow lines? Ben’s Chili Bowl diner for one, a popular spot frequented by President Obama on U St.

Certainly Washington, DC has a few dicey neighborhoods, the same as any large city. But to purposely plan a trip to a city to avoid people of color, says quite a lot, especially on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech. Don’t you think?
