The Chimera Select

chi·me·ra:

1: capitalized : a fire-breathing she-monster in Greek mythology having a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail b: an imaginary monster compounded of incongruous parts
2: an illusion or fabrication of the mind ; especially : an unrealizable dream; a fancy
3: an individual, organ, or part consisting of tissues of diverse genetic constitution [Merriam Webster Dictionary]

As members of Congress arrive today to be sworn in [with the glaring exceptions of Illinois's Roland Burris, soon-to-be-former Governor Blagojevich's last ditch appointee, and Minnesota's Al Franken, who, on the bazillionth recount, finally managed to get a win], the inner confines of the Beltway are abuzz with self congratulatory drama and attendant gaggles of adoring fans and family.

But amidst all this fanfare, as usual, media remains disgracefully mute. At the risk of going into the long list of facts ad nauseum, suffice to say that indeed the list is long, detailed and substantiated by documents obtained via the FOIA, public record, and common sense deduction from indisputable facts, eg., since a Natural Born Citizen can only qualify as such by virtue of having TWO American citizens as parents, it does NOT matter where Mr. Soetoro/Obama was born or where his birth certificate is, although it would be prudent to at least HAVE a valid one. He could have been born in a manger at Blair House but his parents were unable to confer Natural Born status upon him because his father was a foreign national and his mother was too young to have lived 5 years past the age of majority in the U.S., even if she had not been traveling all over the place. But I digress.

While the futile hunt for information about The Man Who Would Be King--I mean Chimera-- continues, our nation grinds closer to installing what appears to be little more than an elusive, formless titular head of a nameless cabal, both as indistinct and undefinable as carbon monoxide, and nearly as lethal. No one he is connected to and nothing he does ever seems to have grounding in any kind of solid fact. Both he and his office state unequivocably that they have "had no contact" with Illinois Governor Blagojevich, and yet Judicial Watch, an organization whose stated purpose is "Promoting Integrity, Transparency and Accountability in Government, Politics and the Law" has, through the FOIA, obtained documents indicative of ongoing contact between Obama, Blagojevich and the transition team:
Judicial Watch Obtains Documents Re: Blagojevich Contacts with Obama and Transition Team

Washington, DC -- January 5, 2009

Includes December 3, 2008, Letter to "Rod" Signed by Obama

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the office of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich through the Freedom of Information Act related to Blagojevich's contacts with President-elect Obama and his transition team. The documents include a December 3, 2008, letter from Barack Obama following his December 2, 2008, meeting with Blagojevich as well as a November 17, 2008, letter signed by Presidential Transition Team co-chairs Valerie Jarrett and John Podesta providing Blagojevich with a list of transition team contacts.

The following are excerpts from the letter signed by President-elect Obama on December 3, 2008, less than one week before authorities arrested Blagojevich for attempting to "sell" Obama’s now-vacant Senate seat, among other corruption charges:

• "Thank you for meeting with me on Tuesday in Philadelphia. Vice President-elect Joe Biden and I were pleased with the open discussion."
• "As we discussed, I would appreciate any advice you can provide to me and my team on the biggest roadblocks to states in moving forward in ‘getting ready to go' projects started quickly."
• "In addition, I welcome any advice you can provide me and my team on revitalizing and reinvigorating the state-federal partnership. I want to make it a priority of my Administration to work closely with you."
• "I look forward to working with you and hitting the ground running on January 20th."

The November 17, 2008, letter signed by Jarrett and Podesta states:

"On behalf of President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden we want you to know of our strong interest in working with you in the months to come. As you may know we have formed a Presidential Transition Team so that the new Administration will be prepared to confront the extraordinary challenges facing our country. Your leadership and experience will be invaluable in this effort and we hope you will not hesitate to share your insights during this process."

"These documents tend to undermine Obama's claims that he had no contact with Blagojevich and suggest his transition is hiding documents about such contacts," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "Why did President-elect Obama not release this letter? What else is he hiding?"

And, not to be outdone, another dose of Pelosi-style workings was revealed yesterday: she

"plans to re-write House rules today to ensure that the Republican minority is unable to have any influence on legislation. Pelosi’s proposals are so draconian, and will so polarize the Capitol, that any thought President-elect Obama has of bipartisan cooperation will be rendered impossible before he even takes office." --Connie Hair http://www.humanevents.comarticle.php?id=30143

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the U.S. Supreme Court has two conferences scheduled on Berg lawsuits, and awaits yet another one. For an interesting discussion of the Berg suits, see http://talkwisdom.blogspot.com/2008/12/seeing-big-picture.html. Nearly twenty cases have been filed, countless searches performed, and STILL no one has been able to locate ANY authentic records pertaining to any aspect Mr. Soetoro/Obama's life, and, due to the endless list of ignominious characters with whom he has aligned himself, he is unable to pass even the most basic routine security clearance background check performed for police, FBI and other security employment. Web pages have been scrubbed so assiduously that it is now mandatory standard operating procedure for researchers to immediately take and save screen shots to prevent loss of material from daily scrubs.

And, all the while, the rest of the world stands by aghast, not knowing whether to gag or guffaw, probably doing a bit of both. From accounts in the foreign press, it is obvious that they are holding their collective breath, wondering how bad the fallout will be if the Americans' own highest court refuses to uphold its oath to preserve and protect the Consitution and prevent what they all know is a Pretender, Usurper and most probably an illegal alien from seizing power as leader of the free world. http://www.daily.pk/world/americas/8993-barack-obama-the-naked-emperor-.html

In the meantime, life goes on in these United States--albeit with fear and trepidation--while patriots, both natural born and naturalized, fight to protect our Constitution and expose the truth about the chimera that has drifted up from places unknown like so much swirling smoke. Had American media done its job, none of this would be necessary. As it is, patriots everywhere are working day and night to ferret out fact, expose fiction, capture the truth and save our country from the cloud of confusion that has descended over our political system.

Giving Thanks Amidst Adversity

Tomorrow our nation will celebrate a day of Thanksgiving, first signed into being by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the War Between the States in October of that year and written by then Secretary of State William Seward. Its purpose was to "set apart the last Thursday of November "as a day of Thanksgiving and Praise." http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/thanks.htm

Something for which we can all be grateful this year is that, for the first time, our nation will add another long awaited, highly important observance: On October 8 of this year, the Native American Heritage Day Act of 2008 [Public Law #110-370 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=hj110-62] was signed into law to honor the achievements and contributions of Native Americans to the United States on November 28, 2008 and every year thereafter. At long last we have set aside a day on which to celebrate the People who were here before any of us, and whose iconic cultures have set the standard for honor, courage and reverence for the natural world.

Today, as then, our nation faces multiple major crises, perhaps even more serious than ever before: an unending war, loss of world stature, financial and economic crisis, human rights violations and indeed our very way of life at risk, as our Constitution and Bill of Rights remain under constant assault through the abrogations which have already occurred throughout the tenure of the present administration and already the next, with their insistence on running a candidate whose previously held citizenships in Kenya and Indonesia automatically render him ineligible, not being a natural born American citizen.

It can be difficult indeed to summon an attitude of gratitude and thanks while we labor under this cloud of chaos and fear. Interestingly, late last night as I surfed the channels for a brief distraction, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" appeared...it is too good a film to pass by, so I watched. After that came "Fast Food Nation," followed by "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Shawshank Redemption," all of which I had seen before, and all of which are so compelling as to make it impossible not to see them again. Like a tongue obsessed with seeking a broken tooth, films like this compel us to watch them, again and again. Why? Because they tell the truth. Regardless of outcome, the Truth is all we have, and if we don't accept it we cannot begin to set things right. As painful as it is, we cannot ignore it, lest it happen again, lest we become so dead to reality as to become bigger pawns than we already are.

And so, I watched. Strange as it may seem, and painful as it is, I salute those about whom these films are made; I salute the actors, directors and producers who are willing to make them, and thus spread truth to the mainstream, where action takes root. And, often, just when I find it most difficult to bear, I remember that, no matter what, we shall always have truth, and for that alone, I have gratitude. Truth is always there, if we let it in and share it. It may be brutal sometimes, but it is always clean and direct, and provides the ground from which to build.

Yes, there are still thousands of troops in the Middle East and still more waiting to deploy, many for their third and fourth tours; our nation is still plagued with all manner of crisis, our government has instituted rendition torture policies, [if you do nothing else today, see SusanunPC's NoQuarterUSA article on "Alienable Rights," http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/11/24/alienable-rights/#comment-1062483] trampling our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Staggering amounts of money continue to be funneled to ailing corporate institutions who have failed to observe sound business practices and now demand--and GET!--humungous bailout after humungous bailout as our deficit soars, and main stream media has completely abdicated its responsibility to report any of it, its most recent transgression being the refusal to carry the biggest news in election history: namely, there are some 17 lawsuits going forward to challenge the president designee's citizenship eligibility, two of which have now landed in the U.S. Supreme Court. The issue is not about where the president-designee was born; it is the fact that he is NOT a natural born American citizen and thus by running, has violated Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the United States Constitution. [See http://www.essence.com/news_entertainment/news/articles/alankeyesobama for an excellent explanation] The fact that our Constitution has been abrogated is horrifying; the fact that there ARE people who realize that and are working to protect it is a source of eternal gratitude.

Be that as it may, we still have much to be thankful for: the love, support and delight of friends and family; duty, honor, courage and integrity; love and compassion wherever we may find it; the special brand of creativity, innovation, commitment, passion and patriotism that can be found in so many--the list can be endless, and, in times like these, it is ever more important to remember to give thanks every day. And, always and all ways, it is Truth we must hold most dear, for it is only in Truth that we can find our way.

Berg v. Obama: Union, Justice & the Blessings of Liberty Ordained

Today I must pay tribute to drkate and her well framed, beautifully written No Quarter article. http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/11/13/four-questions/#comment-1034220 We have suddenly found ourselves at a place that we not only never expected, but didn't even know existed: the extreme, chillingly frightening HUBRIS of an individual and his promoters have almost succeeded in not only violating the tenets of the most hallowed document in our history, but, worst yet, keeping it from the American people to such an extent that, when the issue is raised, the messenger is either dismissed as insane or labeled a racist.

The very idea that such an outrage could even occur is disturbing; the fact that the plan got this far without being reported is bone chilling.

This case is historic--the United States Supreme Court has granted certiori. The decision to grant certiorari is solely at the discretion of the justices. This, in itself, is monumental: Of the approximately five thousand cases a year for which review by the Supreme Court is sought, fewer than 5 percent are granted certiorari. Clearly, and especially after their last involvement in a presidential election, [in which the Opinion stated that their 2000 decision was in no way intended to set precedent for future involvement in election decision]the Court has been reluctant to hear such issues. Even more interesting is that the writ was granted by none other than Justice David Souter [one of the dissenters in the 2000 case, and the one who suffered the most: he nearly resigned over it]. That in itself speaks volumes.

Never in our history has a Pretender risen so fast from a such a vastly steaming, swirling pile of mist, completely unknown, undetected, and unrepentant. And yet--not one "news" outlet has even reported it! Tass, Pravda and the Geobbels propaganda machine http://www.psywarrior.com/Goebbels.html have nothing on the American media. The chronic propagandizing and cover up as they assisted his assent has been, in itself, mind numbing.

And so, we who have awakened from the hopium hangover, and we who never imbibed are compelled to seek, find and speak the truth as never before. I thank everyone who is willing to take a stand and fight for our country and our Constitution and I am moved to my core with the vast numbers of New Patriots that join our ranks every day.
