Fraud and Dishonesty Are Rampant



In keeping with past items I know for some this email includes more than time permits for some of you.  But, please at least consider the first six items.  There is a theme being shared.  Thanks,

Be careful who you give your money to. Fraud is rampant with some "so called" charitable organzations.  Quote: "The FTC recently cited several cancer charities for fraudulent practices.  The charities gave false promises and misused funds for personal use."  But it is only some organizations that get scrutinized.  Another quote: "This comes just two weeks after it was revealed that the Clinton Foundation has been doing exactly the same thing, but an FTC case has yet to be opened. This sounds very much like the way Bill and Hillary Clinton use the money from their Clinton Foundation.  Only ten percent of the $252 million raised from 2011 to 2013 went to charitable grants.  Instead they give their employees elaborate salaries, pay for their travel on private jets, expensive hotel rooms and so on."    hhtp://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/05/democrats_the_party_of_fraud.html

This study was heavily hyped by liberals and the media.  Because they did not do their due diligence they would have known that it was a complete fraud. Quote: "Ultimately, the fraudulent peer-reviewed study says more about the corruption of the media and academia than it does about the corruption of one activist professor. Journalists and professors ostensibly dedicated to the search for truth unravel the institutions they serve when they imagine themselves as already possessing the truth.  The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, and other leading publications initially ran uncritical pieces on the research. Princeton hired Michael LaCour, the UCLA Ph.D. allegedly responsible for the faked data, as an assistant professor and Science published his co-authored article."    http://spectator.org/articles/62810/what-faked-gay-marriage-study-says-about-academia-and-media  

Here is another vaunted leftist study sponsored by the Department of Justice but paid for by innocent taxpayers.  Quote: "Though alarming in its own right as an illustration of the ideological bias guiding the DOJ under the Obama administration, Harrington’s report can be seen as a case in point of the left’s growing intolerance for anyone who disagrees with them, and it points to their willingness to play political hardball in order to stifle dissent."  One should note that the tragic hostilities that populated the last century were primarily spawned by leftists, even though modern day leftist try to turn things around and accuse those tragedies on the right.  Why don't more people see the deception?   http://townhall.com/columnists/timothydaughtry/2015/06/05/no-enemies-on-the-left-at-obamas-doj-n2008555?   Here is another item on this so called "study". The Obama administration forgot to include the far left in this study.  Bias you think?  Nah! The far left is clean as a whistle, at least to Obama and team.  They just know they are right and those who disagree are wrong.  Their proof is forthcoming and will bear their fingerprints all over it.   http://freebeacon.com/issues/justice-department-studying-far-right-social-media-use/?   The foreordained conclusions will be used to justify efforts to curb if not completely shut down media access for those disagreeing with leftist government and progressive policies.  

Some time ago I shared a number of items depicting how serious voter fraud is in our country.  Still it seems that some do not think so.  This is a piece by an attorney that documents how extensive the problem truly is. Quote: "In the interest of helping out the editorial writers and pundits of media outlets who don’t think voter fraud occurs, I wanted to note just a few recent cases (and readers interested in seeing almost 200 more such cases can do so here.)"   http://dailysignal.com/2015/05/22/ydont-believe-voter-fraud-happens-heres-some-examples/?  Deception and dishonesty are two of Obama's strong suitss.  He uses hard left wing extremes as the start point for discussions and then pretends to back off by offering a less radical left wing solution.  His bottom line is that he still gets most if not all of what he wants.  It is a classic example of the Hegelian  dialectic a particular practiced by leftists worldwide.  Read this to see what he is doing.  http://www.westernjournalism.com/obamas-dirty-secret-is-out-leaked-document-shows-top-level-support-for-americas-enemies/? 

The President is pressuring Congress to grant him permission to fast track the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty.  If they were to do so "... Congress transfers its authority to the executive and agrees to give up several of its most basic powers."  That is okay with the President but with not members of Congress.  The problem is that he is negotiating the treaty in secret and does not want any Congressional involvement.  Quote: "President Obama has ignored and rejected bipartisan calls for transparency on Obamatrade, and refuses to release to the public the text of TPP that TPA would fast-track. In fact, currently, only members of Congress—and certain cleared staffers with high enough security clearances, and those staffers can only go with a member—are allowed to go into a secret room in the U.S. Capitol to go read the text of Obamatrade’s TPP component."  Why is a trade pact secret anyway?  Read on.  After reviewing the draft treaty Senator Sessions in a letter to the President said “The implications of this new Pacific Union are extraordinary and ought to be discussed in full, in public, before Congress even contemplates fast-tracking its creation and pre-surrendering its power to apply the constitutional two-thirds treaty vote,” He continues saying “In effect, to adopt fast-track is to agree to remove the constitutional protections against the creation of global governance structures before those structures are even made public."  Given the President's track record of dishonesty, deception as well as failure after failure of his progressive policies he should not now nor ever be allowed to do anything of importance on his own.   http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/05/exclusive-sessions-to-obama-why-are-you-keeping-obamatrades-new-global-governance-secret/?

Where do things like those above lead?  To a very bad place.  Progressivism has dominated American politics and culture for a long time now and the negative consequences loom large.  To put the above in context just consider the assessment of leftist generated sexual revolutionary activities covered in this next piece.  Quote: "To all those celebrating the transition of Bruce Jenner to Caitlyn Jenner, I have a word of warning: Be careful what you wish for.  You see, if gender is whatever you perceive it to be, then there is no way to limit or control what is coming." The point is that these examples are but a microcosm of the destructive forces of progressivism at work in all manner of areas from politics, science, and academia to culture. http://townhall.com/columnists/michaelbrown/2015/06/05/brucecaitlyn-jenner-and-a-warning-about-the-coming-transanity-n2008632/page/full    

This item discusses the role of academics in the decline of critical thinking in our colleges and universities.  Quote: "This inability or unwillingness to think critically is inseparable from, if it isn’t identical with, an inability or unwillingness to exercise self-rule or autonomy: the defendants were only interested in obeying others.  Of course, Arendt knew that there was nothing unique about the Nazis in this regard. Most people much of the time and all people some of the time succumb to the temptation to relinquish critical thought. After all, it is far easier to go along in order to get along. It requires no courage, no mental exertions, to conform to prevailing opinion, to “obey.”  Yet this inability to think, to obey The Majority, has given rise to the worst sorts of evils."     http://townhall.com/columnists/jackkerwick/2015/06/08/academia-mental-conformity-and-evil-n2009452/page/full

Crony capitalism is a mutually supporting money making scheme between selected business interests and government enablers.  Losers are average taxpaying citizens. Quote: "As head of the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the nation’s largest technology association, I play in the Washington milieu. But I believe money and politics are a dangerous cocktail. CEA has a policy never to ask the government for money or handouts, and we urge shared sacrifice to slash the federal deficit — a lesson that has helped make CEA one of the strong, clear and honest voices on Capitol Hill. When we talk about “Haves” and “Have Nots” remember — let’s remember this is about more than just our money. It’s about our morals, as well."

This is classic.  The federal government gives $10 million of our tax dollars to dead people.    http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/4/golden-hammer-federal-government-gives-10-million-/

Multiply this $2.2 billion by the 50 states and you will get a sense of about how much waste is associated with government, taxpayer funded, unemployment insurance programs.   http://www.redstate.com/2015/05/31/probe-pennsylvania-paid-2-2-billion-in-fraudulent-unemployment-insurance/   Do you think that is money well spent?   Another example of the government's dismal management of our money, a cool $17 billion of Social Security funding.  http://thehill.com/policy/finance/244203-watchdog-social-security-paid-nearly-half-receiving-disability-benefits   And they tell us they are good stewards of our money???

The EPA is forced to admit their science is flawed.  This new study could find no evidence that hydraulic fracking does little if any contaminating of water.  Quote: The study, more than four years in the making, said the EPA has found no signs of “widespread, systemic” drinking water pollution from hydraulic fracturing. That conclusion dramatically runs afoul of one of the great green crusades of the past half-decade, which has portrayed the oil- and gas-extraction technique as a creator of fouled drinking water wells and flame-shooting faucets."     http://hotair.com/archives/2015/06/05/epa-remember-all-that-horrible-stuff-we-said-about-fracking-yeah-never-mind/?

What is it that they don't want us to know?  Quote: "In March, the federal government removed the latest vaccine injury court statistics—more than a year’s worth of data—from one of its publicly reported charts. It was an abrupt departure from the normal practice of updating the figures monthly.  Wiping the latest data means the “adjudication” chart on a government website no longer reflects the recent, sharp rise in court victories for plaintiffs who claimed their children were seriously injured or killed by one or more vaccines."  https://sharylattkisson.com/government-wipes-recent-vaccine-injury-data-from-website/?

This senator is far afield of where his energies need to be.  Pursuing a foolish gambit such as he proposes is as pitiful as his common sense must be.  http://www.redstate.com/2015/05/31/global-warming-sheldon-whitehouse-rico/

This senator with a dubious history routinely attacks the rich and claims support for the little guy is a complete fraud.  Read here about how she got rich.   http://www.citizen-action.com/middle-class-champion-elizabeth-warren-ripped-off-old-lady/article1225?

Payoffs for supporting specific programs or doing something your boss wants done are a real problem.  You will not like what you read here.  http://libertyblitzkrieg.com/2015/05/29/how-obamas-top-trade-representative-michael-froman-received-millions-from-citigroup-during-the-financial-crisis/?

Here is what the American Farm Bureau had to say about the Obama Administration oppressive  new water regulations.   “The proposed rule provides none of the clarity and certainty it promises. Instead, it creates confusion and risk by providing the agencies with almost unlimited authority to regulate, at their discretion, any low spot where rainwater collects, including common farm ditches, ephemeral drainages, agricultural ponds, and isolated wetlands found in and near farms and ranches across the nation.”  This is nothing more than another of the out of control EPA's power grabs.  http://personalliberty.com/obama-administration-forces-epas-unprecedented-land-grab-on-americans/

This is the way big unions operate.  They want the government to mandate a minimum wage for everyone but our unions.    http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2015/05/27/la-unions-argue-exemption-15hr-minimum-wage-law

This action by the Administration is unconscionable.  In my opinion what the President subsequently did in the face of clear evidence that Bergdahl was a deserter was nothing short of a show of support for Islamist radicals.  The higher-ups who required his fellow soldiers to sign a nondisclosure agreement is unheard of and dishonest to the core.  Military leaders have lost my respect, especially if they yielded to coerced by the administration to do the dastardly deed. http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2015/05/29/bergdahl-teammates-asked-to-shut-their-mouths-after-his-desertion-n2005486?
