THIS is Crazy Talk Right? KNOW THINE ENEMY The Muslim Brotherhood's secret plan to 'destroy Western Civilization from within'

© 2011 WorldNetDaily

"Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

Does that sound like the motto of nice, peaceful, non-violent, secular organization? President Obama and his national intelligence director James Clapper think so.

But contrary to the perversely rosy assessment of America's top leadership, the Muslim Brotherhood – the shadowy, transnational Islamist parent organization of al-Qaida and Hamas – is committed not only to filling the growing leadership vacuum in the Arab world, but also, through its many proxies within the U.S, to impose the Quran and Shariah law right here in America.

If that sounds too fantastic or improbable to take seriously, you will harbor no such doubts after reading the March issue of Whistleblower, "KNOW THINE ENEMY: The Muslim Brotherhood's secret plan to 'destroy Western Civilization from within.'"

Incredibly, the Muslim Brotherhood is attacking America using the exact same strategy and tactics employed so successfully by the left.

That's right. For decades, while America was furiously fighting communism overseas and struggling to neutralize the threat of nuclear war, the very same Marxist enemy was busily infiltrating America and eating away at its moral foundation like termites – subverting core institutions such as education, the news and entertainment media and even churches. As a direct result, America today increasingly resembles a European-style socialist welfare state – exactly what the Marxists had in mind all along.

Today, while America is focused on the threat of terrorist hijackers, underwear bombers and jihadist "martyrs," it is simultaneously being infiltrated and subverted by jihadists wearing coats and ties, "peacefully" insinuating themselves into our major institutions for the ultimate purpose of imposing Shariah law here. Shariah, Islam's "sacred" 7th century legal system, is best known for chopping off the limbs of shoplifters, publicly flogging people for drinking a beer, executing those who leave Islam, stoning women to death for adultery, and even – believe it or not – lashing and imprisoning women and girls who were victims of rape.

In "KNOW THINE ENEMY," Whistleblower has brought together many of the world's most knowledgeable and courageous experts on this expansionist, utopian, violent, Nazi-like threat to not only the troubled Arab world, but to the entire world, including Europe, the UK and America.

"This issue of Whistleblower is a compelling wake-up call to a preoccupied and beleaguered American citizenry," said David Kupelian, WND managing editor and Whistleblower editor. "Shariah law is already making inroads in America, from our courts to our financial establishments. We are also seeing 'honor killings' in our suburbs, jihad recruitment in our colleges and our prisons, a proliferation of mosques and Islamic schools funded with Saudi money, and dozens of subversive and dangerous Muslim groups with nice-sounding names masquerading as 'moderate, charitable and cultural' organizations. But their goal is precisely the same as that of the terrorists' – the ultimate submission of Americans to Islam."

Highlights of "KNOW THINE ENEMY" include:

* "The global Islamist revolt is here" by Joseph Farah, who pulls the veil off what we are witnessing throughout the Arab world

* "The Muslim Brotherhood's sneak attack on America" by David Kupelian, on expansionist Islam's two-front war on America and why "moderate" Shariah supremacists are more dangerous than terrorists

* Key U.S. Muslim Brotherhood front organizations, compiled by "Muslim Mafia" co-author Paul Sperry

* "Muslim straightens out U.S. intel director on Brotherhood," in which the courageous Muslim Dr. Zudhi Jasser refutes the clueless pronouncements of America's top intelligence official regarding the Islamist threat

* "The Muslim Brotherhood 'Project' for North America" by Brigitte Gabriel, on the secret 100-year plan to "establish an Islamic government on earth"

* "Don't fear the Brotherhood, says long-time member," highlighting the argument that "the West and the Muslim Brotherhood are not enemies," made by Abdel Moneim Abou el-Fotouh, part of the organization's guidance council for 25 years

* "Muslim groups accuse Congress of 'McCarthyism'" by Bob Unruh, on attacks against New York Congressman Peter King for promising to hold hearings on the threat of militant Islam in the U.S.

* "The Muslim Brotherhood is our enemy" by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr., in which the former Reagan defense official shows how the shadowy group plans to "destroy Western civilization from within"

* "The goal: Rule the world – and destroy Israel" by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik of Palestinian Media Watch, who showcase a Brotherhood leader who warns Muslims that failure to perform jihad will lead them to "spiritual death"

* "Barack and the Brotherhood" by Pamela Geller, who shows that Obama's appointments, statements, lawsuits reveal a strong and troubling affinity for Islam

* "Obama quietly builds ties with Muslim Brotherhood" by Aaron Klein, on the administration's back-door talks with a movement vowing the end of the West and the future rule of Islam

* "Soros' fingerprints on Mideast chaos" by Aaron Klein, about the billionaire leftist funding groups opposing America's allies

* "Inside the mind of the Muslim Brotherhood" by Walid Shoebat, whose Arabic translation reveals the true goals of Islamic conspiracy

* "'Moderate civil-rights group' or sinister terror front?" – an eye-opening look at why one FBI agent calls the Council on American-Islamic Relations "a turnstile for terrorists and their supporters"

* "CAIR sues Oklahoma for banning Islamic law" by Drew Zahn, on how the controversial group got a judge to strike down an anti-Shariah measure approved by 70 percent of the state's voters in November

* "The Muslim Brotherhood at CPAC" by Diana West, on "conservative Republican Muslim" Suhail Khan, who asks: "What are our oppressors going to do with a people like us?"

* "'Terror Television' in the USA" by Cliff Kincaid, on why Al-Jazeera is being called "the Muslim Brotherhood channel"

* "Obama's Muslim Brotherhood romance" by Jamie Glazov, on why leftists like Obama are mysteriously attracted to tyranny and terror

* … and much more

"Most people didn't take Hitler seriously until it was too late," said Kupelian. "In the same way, most underestimated the ability of the radical left to subvert America – after all, Reagan won the Cold War. Today, the Islamist threat, right here in America, is real and more advanced than most people comprehend. Terrorism is just the visible tip of the iceberg. 'KNOW THINE ENEMY' shows you to the rest of the iceberg."

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama supporters pointed to the first of Obama's two books, "Dreams from My Father," as proof of Obama’s near-messiah status. Time magazine called it "the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician" and the Obama campaign machine encouraged volunteers to "get out the vote and keep talking to others about the genius of Barack Obama."

There was just one problem: Nothing in Obama’s history suggested he was capable of writing either "Dreams" or his 2006 book, "The Audacity of Hope." In fact, as Emmy-award-winning writer and producer Jack Cashill documents in this stunning investigative book, the real craftsman behind "Dreams" was none other than unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers.

As Cashill develops his case in "Deconstructing Obama," he delves into other, little-known writings that actually were written by Obama, like the chilling poem "Pop," which Cashill says is a "key to deciphering Obama’s shrouded past, his fragile psyche, and his uniquely cryptic political life." In unlocking that past, Cashill shows that much of Obama’s life story appears to be a wholly constructed fabrication, one that Jack Cashill "deconstructs" to show the world just who Barack Obama really is.

Ahh say it is not so..U.S. trying to deport 'Son of Hamas' Feds see 'terrorist' in Christian convert who spied for Israel

The Department of Homeland Security is trying to deport the son of a Hamas founder who told of his conversion to Christianity and decade of spying for Israel in a New York Times best-seller.

"Son of Hamas" author Mosab Hassan Yousef revealed on a blog hosted by his publisher he is scheduled to appear June 30 before Immigration Judge Rico J. Bartolomei at the DHS Immigration Court in San Diego.

Yousef said the DHS informed him Feb. 23, 2009, he was barred from asylum in the U.S. because there were reasonable grounds for believing he was "a danger to the security of the United States" and "engaged in terrorist activity."

An incredulous Yousef said the U.S. government's belief he is a terrorist is based on a complete misinterpretation of passages of his book in which he describes his work as a counterterrorism agent for the Israeli internal intelligence service Shin Bet.

From the world of radical Islam to the world of the radically transformed. Order your copy of "Son of Hamas" from the WND Superstore now!

Yousef said he's not so much worried about himself as he is "outraged" about "a security system that is so primitive and naive that it endangers the lives of countless Americans."

"If Homeland Security cannot tell the difference between a terrorist and a man who spent his life fighting terrorism, how can they protect their own people?" he asked in his blog post.

Yousef said whatever Judge Bartolomei decides will be appealed, "and this insane merry-go-round can go on like that for decades."

Yousef's asylum case – A 088 271 051 – was filed Aug. 22, 2007, about seven months after he arrived in the U.S. from Israel.

The office of DHS Senior Attorney Kerri Calcador, who is handling the case, referred WND's request for comment to Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack, who said the agency is barred by policy from commenting, or even confirming or denying the existence of any case.

WND tried to reach Yousef for further comment, but he was not available.

As WND reported, Yousef worked alongside his father, Sheik Hassan Yousef, in the West Bank city of al-Ghaniya near Ramallah while secretly embracing Christian faith and serving as one of the top spies for Israel's internal security arm. Yousef was recruited by Shin Bet in 1996 at the age of 18 while at an Israeli detention facility.

Since publicly declaring his faith in August 2008, he has been condemned by an al-Qaida-affiliated group and disowned by his family.

His chief Shin Bet handler, "Captain Loai," has confirmed his account and praised him in media interviews for disrupting dozens of suicide bombings and assassination attempts by Hamas, saving hundreds of lives.

'Material support'

Yousef said he recently received a document from DHS in which attorney Calcador pointed to passages in his book as evidence of terrorist activity.

Calcador cites a passage in which she says "a member of Shin Bet shows the respondent a list of suspects implicated in a March 2001 suicide bombing and asks the respondent whether he knows the individuals. The respondent indicates that he does know five of the people on the list and states that he previously drove them to safe houses."

In the DHS document, Calcador concludes, "At a bare minimum, evidence of the respondent's transport of Hamas members to safe houses … indicates that the respondent provided material support to a [Tier I] terrorist organization."

Yousef's response: "Is she kidding? Either Homeland Security's chief attorney has zero reading comprehension, or else she intentionally took the passage out of context. And I am not sure which is worse."

Yousef explained his job as a Shin Bet agent required him to be involved with his father's activities.

"So when he asked me to go with him to pick up these guys when they were released from the Palestinian Authority prison, I went," he said.

He insisted that no one at the time – not his father or even Israel – knew the five men were involved in suicide bombings.

He further argued he was the one who later provided Israel the evidence that connected the men to the terrorist bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria in July 2002.

"And Homeland Security would do well to remember that there were five American citizens among the dead," Yousef said of the attack. "Apparently the agency needs also to be reminded that I was the one who located the terrorists and led to their arrest or death."

For that, he said, Homeland Security "today tells me 'thank you' by trying to deport me!"

He explained it was "part of his job" to pose as a terrorist and participate in "terrorist meetings" with Palestinian leader Yassir Arafat, his father and other Hamas leaders.

"I passed on to the Shin Bet all the information I gathered during those meetings and saved the lives of many people – including many Americans," he said.

'Exposing the weaknesses'

Yousef said his intent for writing the blog post was to alert Americans to the danger they face.

"I believe that God is using this situation to expose the weaknesses of Homeland Security and to put pressure on it to make changes that can save lives and preserve freedom," he said.

He recalled that when he arrived in America Jan. 2, 2007, he "walked into the airport like anyone else on a tourist visa."

When he went to the Homeland Security office seven months later, he said, he knocked on the door and told them, "Hey, guys, I am the son of Sheik Hassan Yousef, my father is involved in a terrorist organization, and I would like political asylum in your country."

He said the officials were shocked.

"I wanted them to see that they have huge gaps in their security and their understanding of terrorism and make changes before it's too late," Yousef explained.

Yousef said that when DHS demanded evidence of his claims, he presented a draft of his book "Son of Hamas."

"Surely this would make everything perfectly clear," he thought. "They would discover that I was an intelligence agent, not a terrorist. That I tracked down terrorists and put them in prison. That I was an asset, not a threat."

But Homeland Security, according to Yousef, doesn't "get it."

He said the FBI, in contrast, "has a much better understanding of terrorism and recognizes me as a valuable asset."

"They told Homeland Security that I am not a threat and advised them to drop the case. But Homeland Security shut its eyes and stopped up its ears and told the FBI, 'You have nothing to do with this. It is our job,'" Yousef said.

The agency's performance, he asserted, "should worry the American people."

"If Homeland Security cannot understand a simple story like mine, how can they be trusted with bigger issues?" he asked. "They seem to know only how to blindly follow rules and procedures. But to work intelligence, you have to be very creative. You have to accept exceptions. You need to be able to think beyond facts and circumstances.

"Homeland Security has absolutely no idea of the dangers that lie ahead," he said.

'Imagine suicide bombers in America'

He warned the U.S. is not prepared as al-Qaida adapts its strategy to lessons learned from terrorist groups like Hamas.

"For nearly 30 years, I watched from the inside as Hamas dug its claws deeper and deeper into Israel. They started awkwardly, clumsily, but they got good at it. And al-Qaida is becoming more like Hamas," he said.

The strategy of Hamas, Yousef explained, has always been to destroy Israel through a "slow bleeding war."

"They don't have nuclear bombs, so they send a suicide bomber here, another one there. And over the years, they severely damaged the economy and gave Israel a bad reputation all over the world," Yousef said.

While al-Qaida began with massive attacks like 9/11, Osama bin Laden "understands how effective the Hamas strategy will be on American soil," he said.

The U.S. has experienced nothing like Israel has endured, said Yousef, and the country is not ready.

"Try to imagine attacks by suicide bombers and car bombers, attacks on schools, in shopping malls, in the gridlock of rush-hour traffic, week after week, month after month, year after year, here and there, in big cities and rural towns," he said.

"No one feels safe anywhere. There seems to be no reason behind the attacks, no pattern. Everyone is a target."

Having been raised on the inside of this kind of environment, from both sides, he said he is only asking Homeland Security "to be humble and listen, so they can learn."

"Exposing terrorist secrets and warning the world in my first book cost me everything," he said. "I am a traitor to my people, disowned by my family, a man without a country. And now the country I came to for sanctuary is turning its back."

Karl Marx, Jay Rockefeller- Marx and the NFL

Here's an idea Mr Rockefeller-Marx, why don't you open your books to the public. Not just your personal holdings but your family's holdings..Only in a state like WV could men like yourself and Robert -KKK- Byrd be elected. Your a joke and an embarrassment to the American way of life. The last time I looked at that little thing called the Constitution, I did not see Congressional over site of sporting and games as part of the interstate commerce clause.That's ok, like 65% of the people that vote for you, read-in is not some-in you do's well!

Jay, here's another thought.. Why don't you track the stimulus billions that are missing. Why not spend some time finding ways to stream line congressional financial regulations on small business. Maybe you could find time stop the billions bleeding From Freddie and Fanny? No forget about it, Just keep worrying about a private business like the NFL !


WASHINGTON -- The chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is urging NFL owners to open their financial books to the players union, arguing that will help resolve a labor dispute that is threatening next season's games.

"Reluctantly, I have come to the conclusion that the only way to sort out this stalemate is for the owners and the league to answer the biggest sticking point: money," Sen. Jay Rockefeller wrote in a Washington Post opinion column on Friday. "What I'd like to see from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the owners is a simple display of good faith: Show the union your books. Don't keep secrets. If there are financial pressures that keep you from agreeing to the revenue-sharing plan proposed by the players, let's see the proof."

Rockefeller, D-W.Va., suggested that a neutral third party review the financial data, remove anything sensitive and prepare an assessment of the league's finances.

The NFL declined to comment on Rockefeller's suggestion, citing a request by federal mediator George Cohen that the two sides not discuss negotiations while they're in mediation. Those negotiations are scheduled to resume Tuesday.

The league has previously said that the players union, which has made similar demands, already has access to all relevant financial information.

The biggest sticking point between the two sides is how to divide about $9 billion in annual revenues. The current collective bargaining agreement expires next Thursday, and the union has said it expects a lockout to come as soon as the following day.

The NFL hasn't argued that it's losing money, only that it needs to keep a bigger share to finance costs like stadium construction.

Rockefeller acknowledged that "some owners make significant investments while managing a professional sports team and I don't want to play down their long-term expenses and obligations. But the players deserve a good-faith effort to demonstrate that these expenses are real and not just an excuse."

He said that so far, he's kept a "hands-off" approach to the negotiations, aside from conversations on the status of the talks.

But he also said that Congress, "acting in the public interest, has to keep the NFL on track because of the great benefits given to the league by federal law and taxpayer funds and because of its impact on the nation's economy."

One key benefit that the NFL enjoys -- along with other professional sports -- is an antitrust exemption for broadcasting contracts. That exemption, which allows the NFL to sign TV contracts on behalf of all teams, helped to transform the league into the economic powerhouse it is today.

As to what the committee will do if the NFL doesn't provide the information, Rockefeller spokesman Vince Morris said that the senator is keeping all options open but is mainly focused on encouraging the two sides to sort this out themselves.

Gary Roberts, dean of Indiana University Law School in Indianapolis and an expert on sports, antitrust and labor law, said that whether an employer is required to open its books depends on what it argues during the collective bargaining process.

"If owners make representations that they're losing money or that they can't afford a certain term in the collective bargaining agreement, then they're obligated to prove their assertion," he said.

The problem is This Joe was Right! Muslims accuse Congress of McCarthyism But Boehner suggests hearings will be run as Rep. King

Rep. Pete King

Rejecting accusations that proposed congressional hearings on the threat of domestic Islamic terrorism represent a new generation of McCarthyism, U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, will allow the hearings to be run as committee chairman Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., wants, a spokesman told WND today.

King, chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security in the House, wants to conduct hearings this month on the "radicalization of the American Muslim community and homegrown terrorism."

But a letter last week from several dozen mostly Muslim organizations condemned the idea of hearings to investigate the Times Square bombing attempt and the Fort Hood shootings.

The infiltrators have been infiltrated. 'Muslim Mafia' exposes the secret underworld conspiring to Islamize America

"Muslims serve our nation as teachers, business owners, factory workers, cab drivers, doctors, lawyers, law enforcement, firefighters, members of Congress, and members of the armed forces,"

said the letter addressed to Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.


McCarthy's Senate hearings at the outset of the Cold War focused on rooting out communists from the U.S. government ranks.

"That dark chapter in our history taught us that Congress has a solemn duty to wield its investigatory power responsibly," the letter warned.

Contacted by WND today, however, a spokesman in Boehner's office indicated the majority leader will not attempt to direct a responsibility that now belongs to King.

King has criticized the Obama administration for not addressing more seriously the threat of domestic terrorism.

He's also suggested that leaders in the Muslim community haven't been jumping forward with cooperation. King said he's not trying to target the Muslim community, but instead wants to look at the facts of current cases.

"It's the fact that there's a real threat coming from this attempted radicalization of the community, and it's in many ways coming from overseas," he told Politico earlier.

The letter was signed by representatives for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, the Arab American Institute, Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, Council on American-Islamic Relations, Islamic Medical Association of North America, Islamic Networks Group, Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Advocates, Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Open Society Institute, Association of American Muslim Lawyers, American Muslim Law Enforcement Officers Association and dozens more.

"If Chairman King wishes to address violent extremism, then we hope you will ensure that he examines violence motivated by extremist beliefs, in all its forms, in a full, fair and objective way," the letter said.

"Providing a public, government platform for these erroneous and offensive views has consequences," the letter warned. "The American public takes cues from government officials. These hearings will almost certainly increase widespread suspicion and mistrust of the American Muslim community and stoke anti-Muslim sentiment."

The letter argued others around the world will note the U.S. government's actions.

"A hearing that demonizes the American Muslim community will not go unnoticed by Muslims around the world and will contribute to perceptions of how the U.S. government treats Muslims," the letter said.

King told Politico the letter didn't need an answer.

"I am too busy preparing for the hearings," he said.

"They contribute to every aspect of our nation's economy and society. The essence of our country is e plurubus unum: out of many, practicing their faith freely and contributing each in their own way, comes a strong, unified one.

"The hearings planned by Chairman King, however, are inconsistent with this vision of America. Singling out a group of Americans for government scrutiny based on their faith is divisive and wrong. These hearings will inevitably examine activities protected by the First Amendment, an affront to fundamental freedoms upon which our country was founded. It harkens back to hearings held in the 1950s by then-U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy," the letter said.

Crazy Talk? Maybe not?

Virginia Delegate Robert G. Marshall

WASHINGTON – Virginia state Delegate Robert G. Marshall has introduced legislation to study whether the Commonwealth should make the preparations now to switch suddenly to an alternative currency in the event of an implosion of the Federal Reserve System and the destruction of the dollar.

House Joint Resolution 557 is another piece of a growing movement among state legislators who are concerned about the dollar's demise. Ten states have considered similar bills, recommending a return to some form of a commodity-based currency, using either silver or gold.

How to fight socialism? The prescription is Joseph Farah's "Taking America Back"

Marshall's Resolution 557 offers a list of worst-case scenarios to support the need for such a study, including:

* "Many widely recognized experts predict the inevitable destruction of the Federal Reserve System's currency through hyperinflation in the foreseeable future.

* "In the event of hyperinflation, depression, or other economic calamity related to the breakdown of the Federal Reserve System, for which the Commonwealth is not prepared, the Commonwealth's governmental finances and Virginia's private economy will be thrown into chaos…"

* To avoid economic, social and political shocks Virginia can adopt an "alternative sound currency that the Commonwealth's government and citizens may employ without delay in the event of the destruction of the Federal Reserve System's currency."

"Inevitable destruction," "economic calamity" and "chaos" are not words used lightly when considering the fate of the nation's currency.

Marshall chose them for good reason and tells WND, "I read the financial pages and I see the coverup that the Obama administration is engaging in, eliminating the cost of food and energy from CPI to fool the public (about the rate of inflation), and the fact that China is seeking to become an international currency and Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia and China have all met to discuss this possibility."

Is Chris Christie Naive About Radical Islam — or Lying?

New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s conservative credentials as a budget-buster have been legend, but now there is a dark cloud over him that should end all discussions of his “future career” in national office. Christie’s ties to radical Islamists are so troubling, they should be investigated by a grand jury.

Here is my report on Christie’s recent actions to appoint a sharia-law Muslim attorney to a judgeship in New Jersey. That person’s background and connections are linked to Al Qaida and its sympathizer/fundraisers. This is a deal-breaker.

Steven Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism has more background on Christie’s Muslim cronies and concludes:

“Christie’s support for Islamists such as Qatanani and Mohammed betrays either naivete or calculation. Either is troubling.”

Here’s a small excerpt of Emerson’s report. Read it all here. Chris Christie has much answering to do. He cannot overcome this.

“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s nomination of Sohail Mohammed to be a state judge shows the governor’s tin ear for radical Islam. Not only did he appoint a longtime mouthpiece for radical Islamists to be a judge, but Christie has also turned a blind eye to the activities of one of Mohammed’s clients – radical imam Mohammed Qatanani, head of one of New Jersey’s largest mosques.

Qatanani has a history of Hamas support and was related by marriage to a leading Hamas operative in the West Bank. This fall, Qatanani will return to a New Jersey immigration court, where the Department of Homeland Security is fighting to have him deported. In his initial application for a green card filed in 1999, government lawyers say Qatanani failed to disclose a conviction in an Israeli military court for being a Hamas member and providing support to the terrorist group.

Oddly, Christie – a Republican who was then the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey – sided with Qatanani against DHS, allowing a top lieutenant, Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles McKenna, to testify as a character witness at Qatanani’s first immigration trial, and publicly embracing the imam at a Ramadan breakfast at his mosque. Christie later appointed McKenna as New Jersey’s head of homeland security..

As general counsel to the American Muslim Union (AMU), Mohammed often represented clients subject to government allegations concerning terrorists. The AMU often is highly critical of U.S. counter-terrorism efforts.

One online newsletter even included a claim that a “Zionist commando orchestrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks” and shows support for a “Rabbi” from the extremist Jewish organization Neturei Karta, which denies the right of Israel to exist and supports its dismantling.”

How Republican House can dry up red ink with 1 vote New petition campaign calls for GOP unity against raising debt limit

© 2011 WorldNetDaily


House Speaker John Boehner

WASHINGTON – A new grass-roots campaign is underway to stop deficit spending this year by demanding the Republican majority in the House of Representatives simply say "no" to raising the debt limit.

Every Congress must affirmatively vote to raise the debt limit or the federal government is forced to live within its means rather than borrow to meet expenditures. Since Republicans gained control of the House in November, they have complete power to say no, and there's nothing the Senate or White House can do about it.

A new petition campaign directed exclusively to House Republicans calls on them not to bargain away this "nuclear option – stopping any further deficit spending for the next two years."

"The House Republican majority has the power to impose the most dramatic cuts in the federal budget in decades, halting all new spending by Barack Obama and the Senate and significantly reducing the national debt by simply voting in a few weeks to oppose raising the debt limit," says Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND and the architect of a plan to persuade GOP representatives to unify around the idea.

While some in the House leadership are already suggesting they will support raising the debt limit in March in exchange for the promise of budget cuts by Democrats, Farah says that strategy surrenders the power of Republicans alone to force a balanced budget this year. Since the debt limit cannot be raised without the approval of both houses of Congress, Republicans hold all the cards they need to stop the borrowing and the deficit spending immediately, Farah says.

"Few are recognizing what an opportunity the House Republicans have to force Washington to downsize," says Farah. "If Republicans in the House unite around this idea, there is nothing the White House or the Senate can do to exceed the debt limit. This is a golden opportunity for real change in policy that must not be frittered away in favor of deals with the Democrats."

Republicans have a comfortable majority in the House with 242 votes. Only 218 are needed to maintain the debt limit.

"It makes no sense for Republicans to bargain for budget cuts that Democrats themselves will be forced to implement if the debt limit is not raised in the first place," he says. "By definition, a vote to raise the debt limit permits the Democrats to spend more money than Washington collects. Republicans will, in effect, give Democrats license to keep overspending and increasing debt by approving a debt limit increase."

On the other hand, Farah says, all Republicans in the House have to do to force Democrats to cut spending radically for the first time in decades is to stick together in opposing a hike in the debt limit.

"They don't even have to get 100 percent of Republican votes to start shrinking the budget," he points out. "Only 218 are needed. And at least one Democrat, Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, has already hinted he will vote to oppose raising the debt limit. More are likely to follow if Republican leadership recognizes the power it has."

Sens. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., are already on record as opposing an increase in the debt limit. Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., has also advocated the plan.

"There is a lot of pressure on House Republicans to simply negotiate a deal with the Democrats on budget cuts or a balanced budget in exchange for a vote to raise the debt limit," said Farah. "To me it makes no sense. Republicans, by merely voting as a bloc in the House alone, can force bigger cuts in the budget than they will ever get in any deal with Democrats. Why would they trade that 'nuclear option'? Republicans in the House hold all the cards. This is what they were elected to do last November – for a time such as this."

Farah urges Americans to sign the petition to the House Republicans in droves. He will follow up the petition shortly with a massive mailing campaign targeting all 242 Republican House members.

"We've got to get their attention right now," he said. "We have only weeks to ensure they get the message. Voting to raise the debt limit will be voting for business as usual. It will give Democrats and Obama license to keep spending, to enact Obamacare, to keep bailing out the wealthy and to ensure the economic train wreck is bigger and worse than we can imagine. Opposing the raising of the debt limit represents the first major step back from the economic brink for America."

Sign the petition to 242 Republican members of the House now.
