Be very careful if you get voter registration documents in the mail. They may not be what they appear to be. In this case documents looking as if they would be sent to the Registrar of Voters in Richmond, VA actually going to a Soros funded "Voter Participation Center".
Ex-KKK leader and Louisiana congressman backs Charles Barron's Democratic primary bid, citing shared hostility to 'Zionist control'
A shared hostility toward Israel is apparently what it takes for an ex-Ku Klux Klan leader to endorse a black Democrat from Brooklyn.
David Duke, the former KKK Grand Wizard who served as a Republican state politician in Louisiana, has spoken out in support of New York City politician Charles Barron, citing his opposition to Israel. "I certainly agree with Barron that Israel is the worst rogue, terrorist state on earth," Duke says in the statement, posted Wednesday on YouTube.
"Barron is certainly right about Zionist control of our media and our government and the treason that's existed in our Congress," he later adds.
Duke, whose YouTube account describes the statement as a "qualified endorsement," goes on to criticize Barron's positions on race-related issues, but blames "Zionists" for sowing discord between white and black Americans. "The Zio-masters want constant conflict between the two groups so that they can utilize a divide-and-conquer strategy over us all," he claims.
Barron's campaign -- part of a Democratic primary for a Congressional seat representing Brooklyn's eighth district -- has distanced itself from Duke. ""We're staying focused -- and we demand respect for our campaign," the politician, currently a member of the city council, told the New York Daily News. "I don't think that's a campaign issue. I don't think it's intelligent."
Barron's opponent, Hakeem Jeffries, comes in for harsh criticism from Duke, who describes the state Assemblyman as a "complete Zionist sellout." A front man for Jeffries told the Daily News, "Hate and extreme rhetoric have no place in our society. We denounce David Duke's remarks in [their] entirety and urge the other candidate in this race to do the same."
Brooklyn voters will choose between Barron and Jeffries on June 26.
Closer than expected, the race has focused renewed attention on Barron's support for dictators such as Bob Muggsy Mugabe Octogenarian President-for-Life of Zim-bob-we who turned the former Breadbasket of Africa into the African Basket Case... and Muammar Qadaffy ...whose instability was an inspiration to dictators everywhere, but whose end couldn't possibly happen to them... , as well as his attacks on Israel, including a description of Gazoo as a "concentration death camp."
That is true. However, he has run in both Democratic and Republican presidential primaries. He has run for various other offices but been unsuccessful; Louisiana State Senate, U.S. Senate, and Governor of Louisiana.
The U.N. is funneling millions of dollars worth of tradable carbon credits to corrupt nations worldwide, including Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Uzbekistan in an attempt to encourage clean energy projects in the developing world.
The U.N. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol. Western European countries fund energy projects in the developing world in order to obtain Certified Emission Reduction credits (CERs), tradable credits that enable Europeans to count foreign emission reductions towards their own domestic emission reduction targets.
“The CDM started from a page and a half in the Kyoto Protocol,” said David Abbass, a spokesperson for the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change. “In the beginning they thought there would be maybe 600 projects, but now there are over 4,000 projects.”
Iran, Uzbekistan, Sudan, and North Korea are among the more than 70 countries currently hosting CDM projects. Iran, with 16 separate CDM projects, brings in around 4.8 million CERs, worth about $26 million, every year, despite numerous U.N. sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Uzbekistan, dominated for the last two decades by the autocratic Islam Karimov, hosts 20 different CDM projects, with a combined annual value of over 7.5 million CERs, or roughly $40 million.
Sudan, whose president Omar Hassan al-Bashir came to power via military coup over 20 years ago and is wanted by the International Criminal Court on charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Darfur, is on the receiving end of two different CDM projects, with a combined annual value of over 180,000 CERs, or almost $1 million.
North Korea is hosting seven hydroelectric dams, which may generate over $1 million in CERs annually.
North Korea, Sudan, and Uzbekistan are among the 10 most corrupt nations worldwide, according to Transparency InternationalÂ’s 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index.
It is unsurprising that North Korea is using U.N. money to develop its own infrastructure, said Claudia Rosett, journalist-in-residence at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“One of the first questions with any U.N. program is, ‘Who is overseeing this?’” said Rosett. “Very often no one is.”
And when it is overseen, it's by a crook...
The worldwide expansion of the CDM has been accompanied by “troubling stories in various countries,” said Abbass. “When you have over 4,000 projects, you’ll have some projects in areas in dispute.”
“We learn by doing,” he said. “We’re fixing as we go.”
CDM support is open to any country with the appropriate bureaucratic machinery in place. Abbass maintained that the CDM is not concerned with human rights issues and that the Kyoto Protocol merely set up the system—individual projects “come from interest in the private sector.”
The program was born of European self-righteousness, said Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. European governments have staked their reputations on environmental issues, but cannot meet emission reduction targets on their own, he said.
Europeans therefore “buy phony reductions” through the CDM, said Horner.
“Europeans basically say to the developing world, ‘I’ll pay you not to treat this byproduct as a waste product,’” said Horner, referring to numerous CDM projects that focus on reducing perceived waste in the developing world, from natural gas flaring to the release of methane from farm animals.
More than 83 percent of CDM projects are based in Asia, while Africa and the Caribbean account for a tiny fraction of CDM projects, according to U.N.F.C.C.C. data.
CDM projects are concentrated in Asia due to the disastrous environmental effects of communism and the bureaucratic savvy of China, experts say.
“Communism created the most intensely wasteful society the world has ever seen,” said Horner, explaining why former Soviet states in Central Asia such as Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan receive substantial support from the CDM.
The Chinese government, an aggressive host for CDM projects, has manipulated the system, going so far as to re-open defunct factories in order to get Europeans to pay them to close them again.
The Chinese are adept at twisting the “mandated inefficiency” of CDM projects to their own benefit, said Horner.
Haiti has set up the bureaucratic mechanisms required to host CDM projects, but is currently sponsoring zero projects.
Dorine Jean-Paul, an energy specialist at HaitiÂ’s Ministry of Environment, decried a lack of support from the U.N.
“I believe the U.N. is not helping the countries that need it the most,” said Jean-Paul. “Besides some training sessions that are organized with the U.N. support in the [Latin American and Caribbean] region, we don’t get assistance or funds for a specific and national identified need.”
Abbass acknowledged that CDM projects are concentrated in Asia, and said the under-representation of Africa and the Caribbean might be addressed at the upcoming Rio +20 conference.
But he also noted that any substantial changes to the CDM could be a long time coming.

The new currency builds the coffers of the axis of evil while the UN funnels American dollars out of our economy--brilliant, just brilliant!Obummer has already done enough damage he can retire overseas in style, say Marbella or Michelle's luxery beach of choice...
The all-consuming hunt for donors has led President Barack Obama B.O.... 's campaign to England. And La Belle France. And China.
Obama is tapping the network of American citizens living outside the 50 states more than any other presidential campaign has before, with more than a dozen bundlers who have pledged to raise as much as $4.5 million.
The president's overseas power centers include London, where high-powered execs like Warner Bros. Josh Berger and Anthony Gardner of Palamon Capital Partners have promised to deliver as much as $500,000 each to the campaign, and Shanghai, where businessman and Technology for Obama co-Chairman Robert Roche has committed to bringing in more than $500,000.
It's all legal -- the donors are American citizens who pay U.S. taxes -- and the net income to the campaigns is paltry compared the hundreds of millions of dollars raised stateside. Presidential campaigns have long taken in campaign donations from expats and people living in U.S. territories, but Obama's campaign is focusing on those donations more than ever.

"contributions from over seas" have a long history. Unions, elections, and political movements. George Soros would be a major bundler in my opinion. Funding internal conflict has been around a long time. Just my idea on how some of these outfits stay around or get partial media treatment. Obama is just too obvious.

I am quite sure this will require a jaunt to cote d'azul by the executively privilaged first lady.
Tut tut, four and a half millis, well it is only the green fees, I am quite certain Uncle Oh has transmitted this information.
And to be fair, Teh Won has also marked my veterinarian and suggested quite humbly that perhaps instead of purchasing doggy treats, I donate three quid to the Mr. Obama slush fund.

There is nothing wrong with soliciting donations from American citizens, wherever they might be... so long as it's only the Americans. The issue is that this president's team has been willing to play fast and lose with the rules in the past, and we had stories here at Rantburg last time round about confirmation mechanisms deliberately disabled, coupled with boasts from eg. the Palestinian Territories of bundled donations from not only non-citizens, but non-citizens who believed they were thusly purchasing an outcome. On the other hand, that particular bunch did not get what they paid for, so they may have joined the many other former donors who've reportedly closed their checkbooks. And with the campaign burn rate reported as considerably higher than is traditional, not to mention considerably higher than President Obama's opponent's, I have to wonder how much George Soros is going to have to fork over personally, just to ensure they don't run out before November.
"Just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations. So groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections. And they won't tell you where the money (for) their ads comes from."
President Obama - Oct. 7, 2010
So the narrative progresses. SuperPacs are bad. But the other guys are have 'em. And as much as we don't want to - we have to start our own otherwise we're at a huge disadvantage. Foriegn money in elections is bad. It's probably from corporations that want to outsource jobs. But foriegn money for us is fine because we will promise to disclose our donors.

*I recently realized that FLOTUS is indeed on her way to London for Olympic deeds, and fine wagyu prime rib with aus juice served in fine crystal gravy boats.
Just when you thought the Obama campaign couldn't get any more desperate, they come up with this: the Obama Event Registry, asking supporters who are getting married, having a birthday, or celebrating an anniversary to direct gift-givers to Obama's re-election website:
Got a birthday, anniversary, or wedding coming up?
Let your friends know how important this election is to you--register with Obama 2012, and ask for a donation in lieu of a gift. It's a great way to support the President on your big day. Plus, it's a gift that we can all appreciate--and goes a lot further than a gravy bowl.
Setting up and sharing your registry page is easy--so get started today.
If this should happen to you, it seems to me a 2 cent donation is about right, plus a pretty crystal vase or a single wine glass in the happy couple's pattern. The key is that the physical gift should be easily broken, when they figure out what you've done.

I can't wait to see the published totals. My guess is only super-rich partsans would be interested in such a scheme and they (along with friends) are likely to have donated already.
The only way this makes sense is if it allows for illegal contributions in some way.
#12
Hows about foregoing the donation and getting the lucky folks a paper shredder, being sure the make sure the machine works by running a $500 check through it.
Unlike Team Obama, a gravy (sauce) boat is a sign of productivity. Think about it, it isn't really a necessity at the table, so it shows a person is above the minimum. Also, sauces do not just make themselves, and are more condiment than meal, so the sauce is also above the minimum eating. Therefore, a full gravy (sauce) boat shows, and is, success.
The White House on Friday rebuked two visitors who were photographed last week at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue flipping the middle finger below a portrait of the late President Ronald Reagan. When I was a teenager, back in the Upper Paleolithic, my Mom used to tell me that you knew about a person by the people they hung around with. I know all about President B.O.
The guests had been invited to a reception last Friday marking gay pride month. The images of them -- with both middle fingers raised, pointing up toward Reagan -- were first published by Philadelphia Magazine. Mr. Reagan, y'see, was neither a homosexual nor a Democrat. In fact, he was pretty much the kind of person I wouldn't have minded my mother knowing I hung around with.
The White House did not approve. My Mom wouldn't approve of most of the guys hanging around the White House, I think...
"While the White House does not control the conduct of guests at receptions, we certainly expect that all attendees conduct themselves in a respectful manner. Most all do," Shin Inouye, a White House front man, said. "These individuals clearly did not. Behavior like this doesn't belong anywhere, least of all in the White House." No doubt they'll be better behaved the next time they come back.
Photographer Zoe Strauss and Matty Hart, national director for public engagement at the group Solutions for Progress, had posted the images of themselves to Facebook. And what are we Progressing toward?
Hart, under his, wrote simply: "F--- Reagan." Apparently we're progressing toward neither civility or good taste, nor the kind of language I didn't use around Mom.
He later posted a link on his Facebook page to the Philadelphia Magazine piece about their gesture. Because he's proud of it.
Neither Strauss nor Hart have responded to FoxNews.com for comment. Fox News is the enemy of that kind of Progress.
Hart, though, defended his gesture in the Philadelphia Magazine article. "Ronald Reagan has blood on his hands," he said. "The man was in the White House as AIDS went kaboom!." Yasss... I remember the stories about how Reagan had the CIA develop the virus for some nefarious reason that escapes me...
Hart said he doesn't care if he's not invited back to the White House. But he probably will be. That's Progress, after all...
A third guest, Philadelphia publisher Mark Segal, was also photographed next to George W. Bush's portrait, but used a more tasteful thumbs-up in his picture. He told Philadelphia Magazine he has friends in the White House and "I'm not going to do something that could embarrass them."

Why should guests act any differently than Zero and the cow?
Have there ever been two more disrespectful occupants (including Clintons) than these?
