are we ready for Crusades 2.0 ?
copied this breif descrtion from wikipedia Crusades
The Crusades were
a series of religious expeditionary wars blessed by Pope Urban II and the Catholic Church, with
the stated goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in
and near Jerusalem. Jerusalem was
and is a sacred city and symbol of all three major Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam).[1] The
background to the Crusades was set when the Seljuk Turks decisively
defeated the Byzantine army in 1071 and cut off Christian access
to Jerusalem. The Byzantine emperor, Alexis I feared that all Asia Minor would be
overrun. He called on western Christian leaders and the papacy to come to the
aid of Constantinople by undertaking a pilgrimage or a crusade that would free
Jerusalem from Muslim rule.[2] Another
cause was the destruction of many Christian sacred sites and the persecution of Christians under the
Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim.
The crusaders comprised
military units of Roman Catholics from all over western Europe, and were not
under unified command. The main series of Crusades, primarily against Muslims in the Levant, occurred between
1095 and 1291. Historians have given many of the earlier crusades numbers. After
some early successes, the later crusades failed and the crusaders were defeated
and forced to return home. Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by
taking vows;[3] the Pope
granted them plenary indulgence. Their emblem was the
cross — the term "crusade" is derived from the French term for taking up the
cross. Many were from France and called themselves "Franks," which became the
common term used by Muslims.[4]
The term "crusade" is
also used to describe religiously motivated campaigns conducted between 1100 and
1600 in territories outside the Levant[a] usually against
pagans, heretics, and peoples under the ban of excommunication for a mixture of religious,
economic, and political reasons.[b] Rivalries among both
Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions
against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Islamic Sultanate of Rûm during the Fifth Crusade.

Adam Mutterperl loves Sandra Fluke ?
On his Friday program, Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly found yet another connection between Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke and the Democratic Party. Fluke, a so-called contraceptive advocate, rose to prominence after conservative talker Rush Limbaugh called her a ‘slut’ and a ‘prostitute’ on his radio show.
 |
| Sandal Fluke boyfriend |
On Thursday, O’Reilly reported that Fluke was being represented by Anita Dunn’s public relations firm SKDKnickerbocker. Dunn, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, served as White House Communications Director in 2009..
O’Reilly found on Friday that Fluke is also dating the son of “Democratic stalwart” William Mutterperl, who has made numerous donations to the Democratic Party and liberal candidates in recent years.
“For six days, we have been telling you that the 30-year-old Georgetown law student has become a major player in the presidential election,” O’Reilly said during his “Talking Points Memo” segment. “Last night, we reported that she is now being handled pro bono, for free, by the PR firm SKDKnickerbocker, which is good, because Sandra doesn’t have enough money to buy birth control pills, as we know. But there is more to Sandra’s story than just contraception.
Right now, she’s on spring break in California with her boyfriend, who is the son of Democratic stalwart William Mutterperl. He has made at least 56 donations to Democratic candidates or organizations. Nothing wrong with that — I’m just pointing it out.”
O’Reilly then questioned whether Fluke was receiving some sort of backing in exchange for her advocacy. Despite claiming that it is financially taxing for her to afford contraception, Fluke is somehow able to travel across the country and make numerous media appearances.
O’Reilly also noted the timing of Fluke’s rise. The law student came on the scene right when the Obama administration was being criticized for a controversial contraceptive mandate requiring some religious institutions to supply contraception against their will.
“Of course, that’s when Sandra Fluke suddenly appeared — popping up at congressional hearings, showing up in the media,” he said. “Polls show President Obama’s poll numbers among women now on the rise, and he has Ms. Fluke to thank [for] that. If you don’t pay close attention to this story, it looks like President Obama is simply helping out a young woman under siege, but again, that’s not what’s going on here.”

Monica Lewinsky's Former Rabbi To speak at DNC
Monica Lewinsky's Former Rabbi To Deliver Benediction After Bill Clinton Speaks At DNC
ABC News' Michael Falcone reports:
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - This could get
awkward.
Rabbi David Wolpe of Los Angeles'
Sinai Temple, where Monica Lewinsky and her family were
congregation members for decades and where Lewinsky attended religious
school, is scheduled to deliver the benediction at the Democratic National Convention tonight - not
long after Bill
Clinton speaks.
Not only was Wolpe the Lewinsky family's rabbi, he also sharply
condemned President Clinton at the time his sexual relationship with Lewinsky,
then a 24-year-old White House intern, was dominating national headlines.

But this year they have sunk to a new low, zero references to "God".

another "Deep Throat" in Washington DC ?
She's not as cute as Linda Lovelace, but she has potential. A long time friend of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitan.
Amid multi suits at DHS/ ICE, Suzanne Barr is said to have called a co worker in his hotel room and screamed using sexually explicit language, telling him she ‘wanted his c**k in the back of [her] throat’.
Suzanne Barr, chief of staff to ICE Director John Morton, said in her resignation letter that the allegations against her are "unfounded."But she said she was stepping down anyway to end distractions within the agency. Barr's resignation has been confirmed by ICE / Homeland Security Department.
Reports from 2009 stated that Suzanne Barr ‘removed the entire contents of the offices of three male employees, including nameplates,computers and telephones, to the men’s bathroom at ICE headquarters’.
Suzanne Barr, a 1995 graduate of the University of Arizona, was among Napolitano's first appointments after she became secretary in 2009. Barr started working for Napolitano in 2004, while Napolitano was governor of Arizona.

Mega law suits at ICE and against Janet Napolitano
Big Sis Janet Napolitano 'promoted woman with whom she had a 'long relationship' while her female staff tormented male colleagues with 'sexually charged games''
- Department of Homeland Security boss faces discrimination lawsuit
- Napolitano 'gave close friend promotion over better qualified men'
- Suit: She turned department into 'frat house' where men were tormented
- ICE chief of staff 'humiliated and intimidated' male employees
- Suzanne Barr 'called male colleague in hotel room and used sexually-explicit language'

He claims Napolitano favoured Dora Schriro, who had worked as director of the Arizona Department of Corrections when Napolitano was governor of the state, for a job due to their relationship.
Hayes first worked as a border patrol agent in 1995 and then served as director of ICE Detention and Removal Operations in Washington, DC, but was demoted after Napolitano's appointment, he claims.
In February 2009, she appointed Schriro as a 'special adviser' and began pushing him out of meetings, the lawsuit says. Hayes claims that Schriro, who is now commissioner of the city Department of Correction, was not as qualified him for the role as she did not have as much law-enforcement experience.
'Schriro did have experience, however, working with Secretary Napolitano,' it writes. 'Schriro enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the secretary.'
The lawsuit does not outline the exact nature of the relationship between Napolitano and the woman she brought with her to Washington from Arizona.
It has long been rumoured that 'Big Sis' Napolitano is a lesbian, but in 2002 she publicly denied the claims.

Anti-Obama Doc Beats New Films
Anti-Obama Doc Beats New Films
Among other records, Obama's America is now the top conservative documentary of all time, beating out Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed ($7.7 million).
Obama's America -- promoted heavily on talk radio and distributed by Rocky Mountain Pictures -- timed its nationwide expansion to the Republican National Convention, which gets underway this week in Tampa, Fla.
Otherwise, it was a dismal weekend for new offerings. Holdovers dominated the box office chart, led by Lionsgate and Millennium Films' The Expendables, which grossed $13.5 million in its second weekend for a 10-day domestic cume of $52.3 million.
Sony's new Joseph Gordon-Levitt action thriller Premium Rush came in No. 8, opening to a muted $6.3 million. The film cost just north of $30 million to produce and is directed by noted screenwriter David Koepp, who co-wrote the script with John Kamps.

3 TV anti Grijalva tv ads
3 TV anti Grijalva tv ads
You can "give Grijalva the boot" by voting for Amanda Aguirre, according to a set of new attack ads from the Aguirre campaign.
The first ad begins, "Raúl Grijalva has never held a job that taxpayers haven't subsidized," and goes on to criticize his boycott comments from 2010, which have been a major theme of this race.
The other two ads feature a male voice-over who says things like "folks" and "I reckon" and "du-n't" instead of "doesn't."
"Grijalva says 'Truth to Power.' I reckon he loves power, but where's the truth?" the voice says.
When a picture of a cowgirl boot comes on the screen, the voice chuckles and says, "Let's put our best foot forward, vote for Amanda and give Grijalva the boot."
You can see all three TV ads on Aguirre's YouTube page.

Harry Reid’s 5 Lobbyist SONS
Harry Reid’s 5 Lobbyist SONS
There’s the way things LOOK…and the way things really ARE. Either way, Harry Reid’s family of sons making their careers as lobbyists reeks of political opportunism. Didn’t a single one want to be a Fireman? A Doctor?
A decade ago, the Los Angeles Times was the first to investigate Senator Harry Reid noting that THREE of Reid’s FOUR sons at the time were LOBBYISTS. Each Reid boy worked for Nevada’s largest law firm, Lionel, Sawyer & Collins. All of them have benefited from Reid’s position.
Here’s how the Los Angeles Times put it:
“Harry Reid is in a class by himself. One of his sons and his son-in-law lobby in Washington for companies, trade groups and municipalities seeking Reid’s help in the Senate. A second son has lobbied in Nevada for some of those same interests, and a third has represented a couple of them as a litigator.

Obama was aforeign exchange student ? alias as Barry Soetoro
Obama was a foreign exchange student ?
I am President Obama’s classmate at Columbia University, Class of ’83. I am also one of the most accurate Las Vegas oddsmakers and prognosticators. Accurate enough that I was awarded my own star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. And I smell something rotten in Denmark. Obama has a big skeleton in his closet. It’s his college records. Call it “gut instinct” but my gut is almost always right. Obama has a secret hidden at Columbia- and it’s a bad one that threatens to bring down his presidency. Gut instinct is how I’ve made my living for 29 years since graduating Columbia.
Obama and his infamous strategist David Axelrod understand how to play political hardball, the best it’s ever been played. Team Obama has decided to distract America’s voters by condemning Mitt Romney for not releasing enough years of his tax returns. It’s the perfect cover. Obama knows the best defense is a bold offense. Just keep attacking Mitt and blaming him for secrecy and evasion, while accusing him of having a scandal that doesn’t exist. Then ask followers like Senator Harry Reid to chase the lead. The U.S. Senate Majority Leader appears to now be making up stories out of thin air, about tax returns he knows nothing about. It’s a cynical, brilliant, and vicious strategy. Make Romney defend, so he can’t attack the real Obama scandal.
This is classic Axelrod. Obama has won several elections in his career by slandering his opponents and leaking sealed documents. Not only do these insinuations and leaks ruin the credibility and reputation of Obama’s opponents, they keep them on the defensive and off Obama’s trail of sealed documents.
By attacking Romney’s tax records, Obama’s socialist cabal creates a problem
that doesn’t exist. Is the U.S. Senate Majority Leader making up stories out of
thin air? You decide. But the reason for this baseless attack is clear- make
Romney defend, so not only is he “off message” but it helps the media ignore the
real Obama scandal.
My answer for Romney? Call Obama’s bluff.
Romney should call a press conference and issue a challenge in front of the nation. He should agree to release more of his tax returns, only if Obama unseals his college records. Simple and straight-forward. Mitt should ask “What could possibly be so embarrassing in your college records from 29 years ago that you are afraid to let America’s voters see? If it’s THAT bad, maybe it’s something the voters ought to see.” Suddenly the tables are turned. Now Obama is on the defensive.
My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about Mitt’s tax returns ever again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I have more standing to make educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.

My bet is that Obama will never unseal his records because they contain information that could destroy his chances for re-election. Once this challenge is made public, my prediction is you’ll never hear about Mitt’s tax returns ever again.
Why are the college records, of a 51-year-old President of the United States, so important to keep secret? I think I know the answer.
If anyone should have questions about Obama’s record at Columbia University, it’s me. We both graduated (according to Obama) Columbia University, Class of ’83. We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.
But don’t take my word for it. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2008 that Fox News randomly called 400 of our Columbia classmates and never found one who had ever met Obama.
Now all of this mystery could be easily and instantly dismissed if Obama released his Columbia transcripts to the media. But even after serving as President for 3 1/2 years he refuses to unseal his college records. Shouldn’t the media be as relentless in pursuit of Obama’s records as Romney’s? Shouldn’t they be digging into Obama’s past–beyond what he has written about himself–with the same boundless enthusiasm as Mitt’s?
The first question I’d ask is, if you had great grades, why would you seal your records? So let’s assume Obama got poor grades. Why not release the records? He’s president of the free world, for gosh sakes. He’s commander-in-chief of the U.S. military. Who’d care about some poor grades from three decades ago, right? So then what’s the problem? Doesn’t that make the media suspicious? Something doesn’t add up.
Secondly, if he had poor grades at Occidental, how did he get admitted to an Ivy League university in the first place? And if his grades at Columbia were awful, how’d he ever get into Harvard Law School? So again those grades must have been great, right? So why spend millions to keep them sealed?
Third, how did Obama pay for all these fancy schools without coming from a wealthy background? If he had student loans or scholarships, would he not have to maintain good grades?
I can only think of one answer that would explain this mystery.
Here’s my gut belief: Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I’m betting not.
If you could unseal Obama’s Columbia University records I believe you’d find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I’m “fishing” then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?
If it’s okay for U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to go on a fishing expedition about Romney’s taxes (even though he knows absolutely nothing about them nor will release his own), then I think I can do the same thing. But as Obama’s Columbia Class of ’83 classmate, at least I have more standing to make educated guesses.
It’s time for Mitt to go on the attack and call Obama’s bluff.

Iranian.com declared Jarrett its “Iranian of the Day
Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, what her religion ?
Despite the information being easily accessed, most Americans are likely still unaware that Valerie Jarrett was born in Iran, and spent her first five years in that country. Like Barack Obama, Jarrett’s initial experience was not as an American, but an American/Muslim hybrid. According to an American Spectator report in August of 2008, the Obama campaign had initiated an aggressive program to hide Jarrett’s Iranian background.
This program received significant help from certain media figures who were only too happy to comply with the Obama camp’s request that Jarrett’s Middle East ties were not made a public matter – even as Iranian.com declared Jarrett its “Iranian of the Day” that same month of August.
Also during that same time period, Barack Obama admitted to the New York Times that, “I trust her (Jarrett) to speak for me, particularly when we’re dealing with delicate issues” and that he ran every important decision by her first.

Obama expands the Welfare thru HHS order
Welfare Reform Revisited
Obama quietly eases the rules for getting welfare assistance. The HHS department rewrites the rules for determining eligibility for welfare.
It was revealed late last week through a Health and Human Services memo that
the Obama administration is planning to quietly reform, and as Republicans
allege unilaterally gut, the 1996 Welfare Reform Bill. Under the new
reforms, states would be allowed to request waivers for the work requirements
for welfare recipients that were at the foundation of the 1996 bill.
“This is a brazen and unwarranted unraveling of welfare reform,” Michigan Republican and Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee Rep. David Camp told the Washington Times. “This ends welfare reform as we know it.”
The Times notes that the new policy would allow states to launch their own welfare reform projects,during which they would not have to require that recipients work.
The Obama administration does not have the ability to waive the work requirement by themselves, but can waive another section of the act that includes language requiring states to enforce the work requirement. On “Real News” Tuesday the panel discussed the possible reform to welfare policy and the administration’s legal authority to waive the work requirement.

7 Habits’ author Stephen Covey dies at 80
The 7 Habits’ author Stephen Covey dies |The Salt Lake Tribune
Stephen R. Covey, a former Brigham Young University
business management professor who catapulted to fame and fortune with the
publication in 1989 of his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," has
died.
Covey died early Monday morning at the Eastern Idaho
Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls from the residual effects of a bicycle
accident in April, his family said. He was 80 years old.
Covey, who after his early success went on to write a
string of books playing off the "7 Habits" themes that reportedly sold more than
20 million copies in 38 languages, became a management guru for companies and
government agencies. He was named to Time magazine’s top 25 most influential
Americans of 1996 and "The 7 Habits" made several lists as one of the most
influential business books ever.
In 2011, Covey was ranked 47th in the Thinkers 50 list of
world’s Top 50 business thinkers.

another commie in the White House ? Valerie Jarrett
another commie in the White ? Valerie Jarrett
another Van Jones commie ?
Was Valerie Jarrett, one of President Obama’s closest advisers, introduced to the president’s political circles by her father-in-law, a communist sympathizer who worked with the radical Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis?
Jarrett’s family background and her initial introduction to Obama may
tie her to onetime Obama environmental adviser Van Jones’ radical
ideology.
Jarrett’s father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, was an associate of Frank Marshall Davis, the controversial labor movement activist who has been identified as an early influence on Obama.
Vernon Jarrett and Davis worked together in 1940 in a Communist Party-dominated organization, the Citizen’s Committee to Aid Packing House Workers. The group’s own correspondence, previously uncovered by the New Zeal blog, describes its communist influence. Many of its leaders were tied to the Communist Party.
The pair also frequented the SouthSide Community Art Center, which was dominated by communists. In addition, Davis and Vernon Jarrett worked in the late 1940s on the communist-influenced, black-run Chicago Defender newspaper.
In 1948, Jarrett started a radio show, “Negro Newsfront,” and went on to become the Chicago Tribune’s first black syndicated columnist.
A Washington Post obituary of Jarrett notes he “stoked the political embers in Chicago that led to the 1983 election of the city’s first African-American mayor, Harold Washington.”
“Vernon Jarrett was a key influence in Washington’s decision to run for the Chicago mayoralty and remained a key supporter through his four-year tenure,” the newspaper reported.
Obama has hailed Washington’s victory as a motivation for him to move to Chicago from New York. Washington was involved in communist-dominated circles in Chicago.
Vernon Jarrett clearly watched the rise of Obama as an activist. When Obama worked for Project Vote to register black voters with the intent of aiding the senatorial campaign of Carol Moseley Braun, Jones took note. Obama later took over Braun’s Senate seat.
Writing in the Chicago Sun-Times in 1992, Jarrett noted: “Good news! Good news! Project Vote, a collectivity of 10 church-based community organizations dedicated to black voter registration, is off and running. … If Project Vote is to reach its goal of registering 150,000 out of an estimated 400,000 unregistered blacks statewide, ‘it must average 10,000 rather than 7,000 every week,’ says Barack Obama, the program’s executive director.”
Valerie Jarrett married Vernon’s son, William Robert Jarrett, in 1983.
In 1987, she got her start in politics, working for Washington as deputy corporation counsel for finance and development. She was deputy chief of staff for Mayor Richard Daley, during which time she hired Michelle Robinson, then engaged to Obama.
Valerie Jarrett went on to run the finances for Obama’s Senate bid in 2004, the year Vernon Jarrett died.
Currently, Jarrett is touted as one of Obama’s closest advisers.

is VALERIE JARRETT a slumlord in Chicago ?
WE USED TO CALL THESE PEOPLE SLUMLORDS…
WHO IS VALERIE JARRETT?The media report Valerie Jarrett is the Obamas closest friend and White House advisor and they don't make a move without consulting her.
For many years, Valerie managed the Grove Parc apartment complex in south Chicago. It consists of 504 apartments. Ninety-nine are vacant and uninhabitable. Mice are rampant. Roofs have collapsed. Sewage seeps into kitchen sinks. It is a dangerous place. It is located in the legislative district which Obama represented for eight years in the Illinois Senate.
Grove Parc tenants feel their senator could have done more for them. Their efforts are to keep Grove Parc from being demolished, as the locale is convenient, and to obtain a new management company to rehabilitate the apartments.
The complex is managed by The Habitat Executive Services, Inc. of which Valerie was the Vice President, President and then CEO for 12 years preceding her ascent to the White House. During her tenure Federal inspectors in 2003 rated Grove Parc 82 positive points out of 100; in 2005 only 56 of a 100; and in 2006 a scant 11 of a hundred. She also co-managed an even larger subsidized complex which was seized by the federal government in 2006 after city inspectors found widespread problems.
In a 2009 report Valeries previous year's management income was $300,000 and $550,000 in deferred compensation from The Habitat Executive Services, Inc. (The Wall Street Journal also reported she disclosed payments of more then $346,000 for service on boards of directors that reflect her political ties, and work in Chicago real estate and community development. She was paid $76,000 for service as a director of a Chicago-based global consulting group with governmental clients. She received $146,600 from thre United States Government and $58,000 to serve on the board of Rreef American REIT II, a real estate investment trust based in San Francisco. The Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., paid her $34,444.)
In explanation of her management record at The Habitat Executive Services, Inc. Valerie explained it's difficult to manage something you don't own.
As an Illinois Senator in alignment with Chicago Mayor Daly and now as President, Obama does not favor public housing but public-private housing development. The government gives money to developers, to build public housing. Obama's close friends and political supporters profited greatly as they became developers. Included among them is Allison Davis, a law associate, Antoin Tony Rezko, et. al. The latter, Rezko, renovated 1,000 apartments, refused management, and the apartments are uninhabitable.
When the construction is completed, the apartments are managed by a private management company, such as Valerie's The Habitat Executive Services, and not a government entity. The government pays for construction as well as the management company. As the government pays the rent and the inhabitants have no other place to go, there is no incentive for the management company to make repairs or to attract new renters. In the end the properties become uninhabitable and are abandoned.
The newspaper, The Boston Globe, found thousands of abandoned, uninhabitable apartments across Chicago which were built with government subsidies. Several hundred found in (Senator) Obama's district deteriorated to the point they were no longer habitable.
In some cases where the buildings become uninhabitable, new government money is provided to rehabilitate the buildings and the cycle repeats.
President Obama touts The National Affordable Trust Fund Act (HR 2895) passed by the both houses in 07 and08 which Maxine Waters and Barney Frank state $800 million to $1 billion will be spent annually: (Waters) without increasing government spending or the deficit and (Frank) paid for in ways that do not draw on federal tax revenues. HR 2895 does not state where the money will come from.
The Boston Globe reports the money will come from the income profits of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac at $500 million annually and as in Illinois the money will be paid to private developers. This follows through with Obama's campaign promises. Critics say the sapping of such large amounts of income imperils the financial levels of both institutions.
The above information was taken from the Boston Globe which published a series of articles on Chicago housing. None of it was picked up and reported on by ABC, NBC or CBS.
A number of States have Trust Funds for low cost housing but construction and management are by government entities, not as in Chicago by developers and private management companies.

Valerie Jarrett financial interests? smells fishy to me
Until joining the Obama Administration,Valerie Jarrett was the CEO of The Habitat Company, a real estate development and management company[10] which she joined in 1995. She has been replaced by Mark Segal, a lawyer who joined the company in 2002, as CEO. Daniel E. Levin is the Chairman of Habitat, which was formed in 1971.[11] Jarrett was a member of the board of Chicago Stock Exchange (2000–2007, as Chairman, 2004–2007).
She is also the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago Medical Center,[9] Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago and a Trustee of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.[12] Jarrett serves on the board of directors of USG Corporation, a Chicago based building materials corporation.
Jarrett's previous year's income, in a 2009 report, was a $300,000 salary and $550,000 in deferred compensation from The Habitat Executive Services, Inc. The Wall Street Journal also reported she disclosed payments of more than $346,000 for service on boards of directors that reflect her political ties, and work in Chicago real estate and community development. She was paid $76,000 for service as a director of Navigant Consulting, Inc. a Chicago-based global consulting group with governmental clients.
She received $146,600 from USG, and $58,000 to serve on the board of Rreef American REIT II, a real estate investment trust based in San Francisco. The Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., paid her $34,444.[13]

Jesse Jackson Jr. calls in sick to congress?
Jesse Jackson Jr. calls in sick to congress? and to campaigning for his Illinois house seat ?
US Rep. Jackson requires in-patient treatment
The statement said Jackson, 47, will need
"extended in-patient treatment as well as continuing medical treatment
thereafter."
Messages left Thursday for his wife,
Chicago Alderman Sandi
Jackson, and a brother who is a professor in Chicago, were not
immediately returned. Jackson's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, did not immediately have a
comment.
Congressman Jackson, who first won office
in 1995, has been under intense scrutiny in recent years because of his ties to
Blagojevich and an extramarital affair. Both issues have come up on the campaign
trail and with voters.
Earlier this year, Jackson had to campaign
harder than he has in years when he faced a credible primary challenge from
former U.S. Rep. Debbie Halvorson, who made Jackson's ethical troubles a focus
of her campaign.
A pending House Ethics Committee probe is
considering allegations that Jackson was involved in discussions about raising
money for Blagojevich's campaign in exchange for the then-governor appointing
him to President Barack
Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat.
Jackson also allegedly directed a
fundraiser and longtime friend, Raghuveer Nayak, to buy plane tickets for
a woman described as Jackson's "social acquaintance." Jackson has since called
it a personal matter that he and his wife have dealt with in private.
Nayak was arrested last month and pleaded
not guilty to unrelated fraud charges involving outpatient surgery centers he
owns. At Blagojevich's first corruption trial in 2010, prosecutors said another
Blagojevich fundraiser was ready to testify that Jackson instructed Nayak to
raise money for Blagojevich's campaign to help him secure the Senate seat. The
same witness later testified that he attended a meeting with Jackson and
Nayak.

Video on the 60 Minutes story on how politicians build their personal wealth
Excellent news reporting on how politicians and their families profit from Insider trading.
It is amazing how elected officials, paid $174,000 a year, can amass a personal net worth of millions after being in office.
The info on Nancy Pelosi was shocking, about she and her husband got a special deal on an IPO offering,
where they invested some money and then reaped the rewards after legislation affecting VISA died in the house.

Illegal now on the FBI FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives
Why was this guy still walking around on bond and trashing several lives in the Chicago?.
June 5, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) --
A $100,000 reward is being offered for information on Fidel Urbina, 37,
who has been the subject of a nationwide manhunt since the 1999 rape and murder
of a Chicago woman.
Urbina was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on Tuesday afternoon. VIDEO: Watch the FBI press conference
"I would consider him a very vile person, a very dangerous person, and if he's in Mexico or Texas or Arizona, he's a threat to any individual down there. The sooner we can apprehend him the better we will be," said Robert Grant, special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Chicago office. "Both his crimes involve young women, involve rape, involve beatings."
He is wanted for the 1999 brutal sexual assault and murder of one woman and the 1998 beating and sexual assault of a second woman, according to the FBI. Both took place in Chicago.
In 1998, he was arrested by the Chicago Police Department in connection with a brutal rape on the city's South Side. The woman escaped, and Urbina was charged with aggravated sexual assault.
While awaiting his trial, he was released on bond. Officials say that's when he attacked a second woman who had brought her car to the garage where he worked as a mechanic. Police say Urbina raped and killed 22-year-old Gabriella Torres, whose burned body was found in the trunk of a car.
Urbina was last seen two years ago, according to the FBI. He has family in the Chicago area, but may also be residing Mexico, where he was born. He is not an American citizen and he came across the border illegally, police said, using a different name.
Wherever he is, officials warn he should be considered armed and dangerous.
On July 20, 1999, a federal arrest warrant was issued for Urbina and on August 26, 2006, a provisional arrest warrant was signed by a Mexican Federal Magistrate.
Urbina, who is a Mexican national, is described as a Hispanic/male, 37 years of age, 6'0" tall, medium build, weighing approximately 170 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and a severely pockmarked right cheek. He has been known to use numerous aliases, including the names Lorenzo Maes, Fernando Ramos and Fidel Urbina Aquirre.
Chicago FBI officials say they first asked to have Urbina on the list of the Most Wanted two years ago.
"We will keep hunting for him until he's dead or in somebody's hands," Grant said. "That's the way you get off the top ten list."
A reward of up to $100,000 is being offered for information leading to the location and arrest of URBINA. Anyone recognizing him or having any information as to his current whereabouts is asked to call the Chicago FBI at (312) 421-6700 or your nearest law enforcement agency.

words of wisdom from Rep. Joe Walsh
I seen the video, words of wisdom from Rep. Joe Walsh,
R-Ill.,
Last week at a Town Hall meeting, Rep Joe Walsh told constituents the Democratic Party wants Hispanics and blacks
to be dependent on government and also said civil rights leader
Jesse Jackson
wants the same thing.
"Jesse Jackson would be out of work if
(blacks) weren't dependent on government," Walsh said.
On Friday, Walsh had the opportunity to
apologize on the "Big John & Amy" radio show but instead, as reported by the Chicagoist, he stepped in even deeper saying,
"All Jesse Jackson is trying to do is to keep African-Americans down on some
plantation."
Walsh's bigotry is not only disheartening,
it's wrong. He's following a number of Republicans who seem to believe nonwhites
make up the majority of Americans who are on welfare. Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum have made similar comments, and in January, the
Chicago Tribune reported statistics that fly in the face of the stereotypical
image of the "black 'welfare mother' having out-of-wedlock babies so she can
stay home and live large off the taxpayers."
The majority of food stamp recipients are
white, but these bigoted men seem to be incapable of comprehending the reality
in America today. Many Republicans seem to want to blame the state of the
economy on government public assistance programs, but perhaps they're just
trying to shift the blame from the real culprit: corporate welfare.
Conservatives seem to have a problem
helping individuals and families in true need, but they don't have a problem
with big tax breaks to rich corporations.
Gingrich had the gall to comment that black
Americans should demand jobs, but not food stamps, yet according to the Washington Examiner, his consulting firm received $1.6 million
in fees from the government-sponsored enterprise Freddie Mac.
Gingrich, Walsh and the majority of
conservatives seem to pick and choose when they want the government's help and
when they don't to suit their agenda. They drive the same government-funded
highways we all do, and also rely on firefighters and police to protect us.

another Obama spending $20 million on rpomoting obamacare
The Health and Human Services Department has signed a $20 million contract
with a public-relations firm to highlight part of the Affordable Care Act.
The new, multimedia ad campaign is designed to educate the public about how to stay healthy and prevent illnesses, an HHS official said.
The campaign was mandated by the Affordable Care Act and must describe the importance of prevention while also explaining preventive benefits provided by the healthcare law. The law makes many preventive services available without a co-pay or deductible, and provides new preventive benefits to Medicare patients.
The PR firm Porter Novelli won the contract after
a competitive bidding process. The $20 million contract was first
reported by PR Week. Porter Novelli did not immediately respond
to a request for comment.

Running Against Rep Raul Grijalva in Arizona house race?
Running Against Grijalva? No Voter Database for You!
The Arizona Democratic Party refused requests from two Democratic Party
candidates for the party's voter file — both candidates, Amanda Aguirre and
Manny Arreguin are running against incumbent Raul Grijalva for U.S.
Congress.
Hat tip to Huffington Post writer Alex Brant-Zawadski , who followed up on a story that first ran on conservative blog Western Free Press.
Each political party maintains their own voter data base, and is typically available to candidates who use the information to reach registered voters during a campaign and to increase voter turn-out.
Monday, I called the state party's executive director Luis Heredia to get more information. I spoke briefly with Frank Camacho, chief of communications, and was told he'd have Heredia get back to me. I never heard back from Heredia, so I called again yesterday and left a message on his voice mail. Still no word.
Heredia never called the Huff-Po writer back either, but Camacho said this:
Arreguin said his campaign talked with the state Secretary of State's office to obtain the voter file and filled out what they thought was the necessary paperwork. "We were waiting to hear back, but when we hadn't heard anything we found out in an e-mail that the state (Democratic) party denied access to the (voter database) because (Grijalva) is an incumbent and he had received a presidential endorsement."
Arreguin said he didn't know the state party would be involved in the request. He called Heredia to get more information and also sent an e-mail asking if the state party's office would reconsider the decision. But he never heard back from anyone.
"When we sign up and register with a political party, one reason why we do that is to keep abreast of the candidates - 'Perhaps they will call me when it's election time comes along and I might be able to volunteer, donate money and participate.' That's the expectation," he said.
Isn't this just politics?
"I certainly wasn't born yesterday, but it's just amazing the levels you have to penetrate to be a participant in this democratic process," Arreguin said.
This morning Aguirre said she went to the state party's office in Phoenix at the of March long before Grijalva received the presidential endorsement and spoke with Heredia to request the database information. Heredia told her that she wouldn't be given the information because Grijalva is an incumbent and that the decision was made by the state's executive committee.
"I was very disappointed, of course. I've been a Democrat all my life and elected as a Democrat before. I work bipartisan, but nonetheless, this is my party, so i was very disappointed and sad," Aguirre said.
Aguirre said she went to a national company to get the voter information, which costs more than going through the state party office. However, when we talked with her she couldn't recall the name of the company or how much it cost her campaign.
"Well, I think certainly there are people in the party that have that relationship with Raul Grijalva ... Yes, he's an incumbent, but I think in this country, we should have any candidate step up to run in an election without being attacked by their own party," she said.
According to the state Democratic Party's website, the executive committee includes chair Bill Roe, first vice chairwoman Harriet Young, treasurer Rick McGuire, senior vice chairman Jim Woodbrey, national committeewoman Carolyn Warner, national committeewoman Judy Kennedy, vice chairwoman Laura Hogan, vice chairwoman Jo Kelleher, vice chairwoman Sherry B. Williams, vice chairman Chris Campas, vice chairman Manuel Cruz, vice chairman Gerald Richard, and secretary Sharon Thomas.

... that the decision was made by a vote of the state Executive Committee. I was told the executive director, Luis Heredia, would call me back to explain. Heredia never called me back. The next day, the gracious Mr. Camacho apologized profusely for the lack of a response, then relayed what he was told to relay about the incident. It seems that because Raul Grijalva is an incumbent with the endorsement of the White House, the Executive Committee somehow felt it necessary to empower Heredia with the ability to deny access to VAN or Voter File. "The party has invested in that file and it contains proprietary information," said Camacho. "So when the executive director was given authorization by the Executive Board, he exercised that authority and decided to deny [Arreguin] access." It should be noted that Heredia is a former aide to Congressman Grijalva.On Monday, I talked with Arreguin, the Tucson doctor who is one of the two Dems running against Grijalva, and Tuesday morning I talked with Aguirre, the other candidate from Yuma who served as an state Senator from 2006 to 2010 and a state Representative from 2003 to 2006. Yesterday, I left word with Grijalva's media contact Adam Sarvana asking for comment, but he directed me to the Huff-Po piece and Camacho's comment.
Arreguin said his campaign talked with the state Secretary of State's office to obtain the voter file and filled out what they thought was the necessary paperwork. "We were waiting to hear back, but when we hadn't heard anything we found out in an e-mail that the state (Democratic) party denied access to the (voter database) because (Grijalva) is an incumbent and he had received a presidential endorsement."

what is the REINS Act ?
what is the REINS Act ?
I hear this ideal on the Stossel Fox show. Looks like a very unique way to control the uncontrolled rules and regulations being generating by government agencies. Senator Mike Like has proprosed this new bill in congress.
In brief, anything thing that causes a economic impact of over $100 million would be required congressional approval. The problem is that congress has delegated and created several agencies,ie EPA, that really don't have to answer to anyone. Some say they are running amok in destructive rules and regulations causing a serious damper effect on the total economy.
The jest of it that congressional approval would be required to enact any new actions. Right now there is no congressional check on any of these new rules and regulations.
This seems to fit well with John Stossel new book, "No they can't'"
=============================
During his principal comments, Senator Mike
Lee, junior senator from Utah, suggested that one reason why EPA and other
agencies have run amok is that Congress has granted them significant rule making
power with little or no Congressional oversight. To “rein in” these regulatory
excesses, the House of Representatives passed late last year the “Regulations
from the Executive in Need of Scrutiny Act” (REINS). The Act would require
Congressional approval for any regulation that would have an economic impact in
excess of $100 million.
