World News Korner

I cannot tell you the number of times that I have yelled at my television, "That news is 3 days old. It's not 'news' anymore. It's ancient goddamn history!"

An influential US lobbying network of Republican politicians and big businesses is seeking to avert a looming funding crisis by appealing to major donors that have abandoned it over the past two years following criticism of its policy on gun laws.

The Guardian has learned that the American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec), which shapes and promotes legislation at state level across the US, has identified more than 40 lapsed corporate members it wants to attract back into the fold under a scheme referred to in its documents as the "Prodigal Son Project".

The target firms include commercial giants such as Amazon, Coca-Cola, General Electric, Kraft, McDonald's and Walmart, all of which cut ties with the group following the furore over the killing of the unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida in February 2012.

Alec was embroiled in the controversy surrounding Florida's 2005 "stand-your-ground" law under which George Zimmerman, the neighbourhood watch volunteer who shot and killed the 17-year-old Martin, initially claimed self-defence. The Florida law was picked up by Alec, and, working in partnership with the National Rifle Association, used as a template for one of its "model bills", which was then taken up by other states across the country.

The Guardian has learned that by Alec's own reckoning the network has lost almost 400 state legislators from its membership over the past two years, as well as more than 60 corporations that form the core of its funding. In the first six months of this year it suffered a hole in its budget of more than a third of its projected income.

I find it interesting that such a powerful group found themselves so terribly damaged by an association with Trayvon Martin's shooting and the Stand Your Ground law. It almost makes it seem that Americans really are ready for tighter gun control laws, and that ALEC and the NRA are losing their influence over lawmakers they have put in place to stop them.

But fear not their influence is by no means completely dried up.

Alec reconvenes for its next nationwide meeting, described as a "states and nation policy summit", on Wednesday in Washington. The three-day event will be attended by hundreds of state legislators and corporate representatives.

In a sign of the influence the network holds with Republicans, it will be addressed by rising stars of the party including US senator Ted Cruz of Texas, who led the push for the recent government shutdown, and the party's budget guru, Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.

The network also counts among its former members the two highest ranking Republicans in the House of Representatives, John Boehner and Eric Cantor, as well as prominent Republican governors such as Scott Walker of Wisconsin and John Kasich of Ohio.

Paul Ryan and Ted Cruz, well isn't that interesting?

So the organization loses support from the establishment conservatives and simply lures in the new kids on the block to replace them. Everything old is new again.

Birther Chris Matthews is set to interview Resident Barack Obama a.k.a. Resident Barry Soetoro on Thursday night. Birther Matthews opened his low-rated show last night plugging the interview and taking a swipe at his fellow Birthers. Birther Matthews is now seeking questions from folks for Obama a.k.a. Soetoro.



Got a question for President Obama? Now is your chance to ask him.

Hardball host Chris Matthews will sit down for a Q&A with the commander-in-chief on Thursday at American University in Washington, D.C. During the town hall-style interview, Obama will also answer students’ questions, in addition to some of yours, via the official “Let’s Play Hardball” group on msnbc.com.

Obama’s interview with Matthews comes following the rocky rollout of HealthCare.gov, an interim nuclear deal with Iran, renewed calls for immigration reform, and with new budget negotiations on the horizon.

Matthews will discuss a number of topics with Obama, including voter suppression, healthcare, political gridlock in D.C., growing dissatisfaction with the government and more. The interview will air on Thursday evening’s Hardball at 7 p.m. ET.

What do you want to ask the president? Here’s how to join the conversation. [...] - Continued @ MSNBC.



P.S., Haven't gotta clue where at Obama a.k.a. Soetoro was hatched... Apparently Matthews does...

Sharon Rondeau of the Post & Email says the media outlets are criminally complicit for allowing an ineligible usurper to occupy the White House. Rondeau says the tide is turning and she believes Obama will be forced out.

If I understood correctly Doug Vogt says the forger left part of her name in Obama's forged birth certificate... Vogt said multiple forgeries were created around the sequence numbering of the certificates.




Two and a half years of part-time research for both Paul Irey and Doug Vogt have resulted in their discovery of over 20 points of forgery on the Barack Obama II Certificate of Live Birth (COLB) and the birth certificate's short form.

How did the forger do it? Well, options in Adobe Photoshop called “unsharp mask” and “select color” are a couple of examples. What they've learned about the forgery could fill a book.

Funny thing that. Tonight, the book - seventeen chapters that cover technical evidence -- everything from the type, line spacing, the letters, the registrar’s stamp and seals, as well as the persons of interest. Who did the forgery and how SHE knew Barack Obama in Hawaii.

The book also includes information about the Sunahara lawsuit, the media, who is Barack Obama and the Communist plot to get him into office.

I have to say that during my many years in Alaska I have heard some very wild bear stories, but this one may be the strangest. And the fact that it was caught on camera simply makes this almost too bizarre to believe.

There is a lot of talking at the beginning but the action starts around the 1:17 mark.

This is in Kodiak, Alaska for those who are curious.
