More Government,More Messups

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has been heavily criticized since it began for a multitude of unintelligent practices and imprudent missteps. Nevertheless the early June 2015 report from the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security reveals perhaps the acme of (Tuff Stuff's)TSA’s greatest many problems. The TSA botched its identification and recognition of over 73 airport employees who were “linked to terrorism.” The Inspector General’s report reads: “[O]ur testing showed that TSA did not identify 73 individuals with terrorism-related category codes. According to TSA data, these individuals were employed by major airlines, airport vendors, and other employers.” The Inspector General’s report findings assert that the "Tuff" (TSA) “acknowledged” specific individuals who are catagorized into terrorism-related category codes “represented a potential transportation security threat.” Additionally, the report hinted at the under- lying reason why the TSA failed to identify the potential terrorists: “This occurred because TSA is not authorized under current interagency watchlisting policy to receive certain terrorism-related category codes as part of the watchlist extract they used for vetting.” The Inspector General’s report noted that specific terrorism-related category codes were redacted or "left out" or omitted from the report, and the identities of the individuals who had been identified as being a potential threat to airport security. The TSA also tried to cope with the lapses in vetting and security. In 2014, the TSA Administrator "put a signature to" a memo or notice to “partially address” the glaring flaws and "Achilles heels" in security and vetting protocols. present airport policies rely heavily on individuals to “self-report disqualifying crimes.” Then should the applicants actually admit to misdomeanors, felonies, and wrong-doing when they self-report, they pose a risk of being terminated from their job as soon as someone gets the time to really read what the applicants admitted. Sometimes applicants are hired - then while they are probationary - they may show character flaws resulting in someone actually READING CAREFULLY the application they submitted. The TSA hiring authority sees this lapse as "benefit of the doubt" and giving someone a second chance". Many applicants have had MANY chances to "turn over a new leaf" and reverted to "old habits" and "old character flaws". The TSA has had several examples of bad PR or bad press over the last several months. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced that Melvin Carraway, the Acting Administrator for the TSA, had been reassigned but not fired after it was discovered that undercover agents had penetrated security by successfully bringing phony but realistic-looking weapons through security checkpoints. In the past sleeping or distracted scanners had ignored the alarms their detectors had set off from phony but realistic-looking weapons that had been brought through security checkpoints. http://www.ijreview.com/2015/06/340671-airport-security-failure-as-73-potential-terrorists-employed/ Ultra-liberal billionaire and overwhelming candidate for "Lib-Scum of the Year Amidst Heavier Than Usual Competetion" George Soros donated $33 million to social justice organizations which fomented so much violence in Ferguson Missouri that a local protest became a national tinderbox and a "hell-hole". Many brochures or handouts that were revealed in tax filings from Soros's private foundation, were given to dozens of different groups which muscled in with a mercenary manner to aggravate and escallate - the crisis. Lies from a rather biased "witness" that "the gentle big thug" had his hands up in the air were PUMPED UP by a "bleeds-it-leads" media making up "violence excuses" out of thin air long before the autopsy revealed THE TRUTH that Brown had CHARGED the officer forcing him to empty his service weapon in self defense. NONE of the bullets entered Brown's BACK as the liar witness(s) had stipulated. The liar(s) should be prosecuted and held for encouraging a RIOT as they have "the blood of many on their guilty hands." But this bought-and-paid-for-rent-a-mob prospered greatly from the suffering of businesses they had a hand in burning. Good luck getting other investors to attempt commerce in the Ferguson area! No one in their sane and rational MIND would ever dare to attempt a business in Ferguson again. Who will suffer the most in the long run? The good and decent residents of Ferguson and the businesses that tried to "make a go" of commerce in the area - will suffer for many years. Those who remain will have to travel many miles to purchase food, gasoline and any sort of essentials. Had this $33 milllion been INVESTED in the area instead of being used to foment violence, the Ferguson residents would have benefitted by good jobs and rising real estate values. Noe gutted buildings serve as mute testimony of the dreams of hard-working, daring and bold individuals who tried in vain for years only to be WIPED OUT due to outsider interference. In stark contrast, hard-hit-by-the-2008-continuing recession Las Vegas has benefitted from "outside influences" as people have MOVED THERE as fugitives from liberalism and high taxes. Las vegas has welcomed DOZENS of new businesses into "the fold" bringing hundreds of new jobs and opportunity where half-completed "dreams" were "falling down" for lack of funding and neglect. Yet Ferguson was beset and over-run by several groups of "community organizers" from professional groups. They were bussed into the struggling Missouri town of Ferguson from Washington, D.C., and New York to co-ordinate messaging and lobby to news media to cover events and a created-sideshow of violence using George (Swartz) Soros, the billionaire's funding. The watchdog of liberty's Washington Times uncovered the $33 million flood of donations in an analysis of the 2015 tax return presented by Soros's Open Society Foundations. The $33 million in cash was reportedly funneled into maintaining groups of "inciting-a-riot" protesters in Ferguson over a period of several months by importing the Washington DC and New York and other places - outside activists. In the meantime, documents from liberal so-called-think tanks were passed out and distributed to initiate extra coverage of the civil unrest that was also arbitrarily comnnected to the police killings of Eric Garner in Staten Island and Tamir Rice, 12, in Cleveland, Ohio. Some of the misbegotten trouble-making groups which covered the research, and the movements themselves, included one, Colorlines, which Soros himself has personally funded. The multitude of misbegotten trouble-making groups and organizations reportedly created their own online 'echo chamber', by using their extensive social media fake profiles to 'like', repost and comment on articles promoting their sick, twisted, bigoted and violent - point of attitude and view. The director of Soros's fund denied that any direct control over the multitude of misbegotten trouble-making groups and organizations the Soros "Syndicate" donates money to, and stated that they are all attempting to improve accountability by showing who got how much and why. Unfortunately $33 million in cash is very difficult to trace so it is doubted that any state or national income tax was ever paid on the $33 million. Nevertheless, tax filings revealed that Soros bankrolled groups with million$ that bussed protesters to Ferguson, Missouri, from around the USA and co-ordinated campaigns to keep it front page news for no apparent reason in the lame-stream media The anonymous director of Soros's fund told the Washington Times: 'Helping groups combine policy, research [and] data collection with community organizing feels very much the way our society becomes more accountable. 'The incidents, whether in Staten Island, Cleveland or Ferguson, were spontaneous protests - we don’t have the ability to control or dictate what others say or choose to say.' The Soros $33 million mostly cash was also utilized in violence-fomenting and bigoted buzzwords and social media campaigns to try to keep the Ferguson lies "burning like a lighted candle" in the national consciousness. One such lucky recipient of Soros' overly generous and untracked funding is the Organization for Black Struggle, which had a "spinoff" group based on a blatant lie called the Hands Up Coalition, that has helped make a household stench of the 'hands up, don't shoot' lie-and-spin-doctor created - slogan. A few of the multitude of misbegotten trouble-making groups and organizations Soros funded concocted slogans and social media campaigns to keep the event "frying and cooking the brain" of the national consciousness. Even Glenn Beck stated,“And I think there’s a couple of things that are happening. One, just by discrediting Twitter, Facebook, the Internet, where you just don’t know who it is, that’s the way most of us are getting our news now, is on the internet,” he explained. “It just undermines credibility. It undermines faith in one another in what you can and cannot trust.” Glenn Beck added,“This is a shark bump. This is early now. When you give us another year of this kind of atmosphere, you ratchet it up…you can escalate this country so fast. Then you have the outside. You have the Russians doing something like this. No one will believe it. It will be too late. You’ll burn a city down. You won’t stop it”. The commentary references to how contentious and blatant liar witness accounts described how Michael Brown was raising his hands in surrender when Ferguson officer Darren Wilson shot him dead in August of 2014. Soros also "hosed away" donations to the Drug Policy Alliance, which worked behind the scenes on making public the 'black lives matter' buzz phrase. This buzz phrase has been augmented with "except to blacks" to make it a truism and the original lie was incorporated into speeches by political figures including Hillary Rodham Clinton. HRC is very easily influenced by wrongful and inciteful rheteric since she thinks she will have to get "all the votes" from this group. The seed-money source of George (Swartz) Soros' billions fortune was looted from speculating on financial markets, especially in profiting over $1billion in the 1990s by helping cripple the British financial system due to speculation on the pound sterling. George (Swartz) Soros is presently ranked at number 17 on the Forbes 400 richlist, with an estimated and approximated worth of $24billion. Many of the rent-a-mob arrests in Ferguson happened during renewed Mike Brown protests. Police allegedly had to fire tear gas in vain attemps to control the violence, arson and looting. Some people, because Soros made millions moving deep water oil rigs to his Brazil oil fields hold that Soros is the real President of the United States and that the puppet Obama just works for him. The views expressed in the contents above are those of multitudes of readers and users and do not necessarily reflect the views of this blog. This blog is no longer accepting comments on this writeup. One ridiculous theory holds that, "The Republicans don't want to throw Obamacare overboard because that means they'll have to fix it." That's exactly the point! The point is that the conservative movement has become not a party of opposition, or even a movement of opposition, but a movement of fine tuning. And what does the Republican Establishment fine tune? Democrat proposals! Democrat ideas! Instead of rejecting them, instead of throwing them overboard and proposing to the American people -- who are smart enough to understand -- alternative ideas, the Republican Establishment fine tunes socialism and calls it conservatism with a heart. This blogger is sorry, but the Republican Establishment is NOT providing the answer or any solution to combating creeping socialism. A headline from the Washington Examiner: "Poll: 72% Fear Economic Crash, Concern 'Highest Ever'." What the story is about, if you read it, the GOP pollsters are telling Republicans, "You've got to let go of those social issues, they're killing you. It's the economy, stupid people, you've got to drop the social issues. You HAVE TO go along with the Democrats on each and every social issue." actually the the Republican Establishment is NOT doing a thing on social issues. The Democrats are BEING ALLOWED TO FORCE social issues on everybody. Today, the latest example, it's the Democrats forcing these things and average, ordinary Americans are trying to defend what they believe in. There is no aggressive behavior on the part of Republicans or conservatives and certainly not the Republican Establishment. Everybody is in a defensive posture. Everybody is just standing by trying to hold on to what they believe in and what they have left. They are not promoting POSITIVE and FAMILY VALUES long cherished by decent, mainstraem average Americans. Every ounce of the aggressiveness, every ounce of the offense, every ounce of whatever is being undertaken is directly coming from the Democrat Party because they are taking the lead here. Nevertheless, here goes, the Republican candidates for president getting told, "Get rid of social issues, let them go. It's the economy, the economy is the way to win." And letting go of the social issues is allowing American borders, language and culture to be corrupted. Just another one of these things 180 degrees out of phase. And the social issues, what it is, is a bunch of moderate Republican establishment jerks who think they're losing on abortion and should not oppose imaginary gay civil rights or the climate change mythology. Republican Establishment jerks are caving in and losing on everything. They are in abject denial and just don't know they are losing on everything. Are they winning on the economy? This is the most disastrous economy, most unemployed, jobs getting undermined by foreigner encroachment inflation-ridden economy since Jimmy Carter, and the Republican Establishment jerks may be winning elections by being LIARS pretending to defund Obamacare and FIGHT illegal immigration and jobs handed over to imported immigrants but is there any push back or resistance on any of this? There's a lot of rhetoric and bla-bla talk. There's a lot of donation requests. There's a great deal of fundraising going on. A lot of people promising enactment of policies or thinking about policies and working for policies and they're going to do this and they're going to do that. The moment of truth comes and they back the lost cause Keystone Pipeline that has been re-routed and IF legislation got enacted -would be VETOED BY OBAMA, so they procrastinate and kick the can down the road claiming it is not the right time. It's never the right time. For FORTY YEARS before the 1980s, it was never the right time. There is no opposition. Many true conservatives in the silent majority that are feeling lost today, who feel like it's over, at wit's end, true conservatives winning nothing, losing everything, BUT true conservatives in the silent majority are still the majority. That is part of that being bedraggled feeling. That's precisely WHY true conservatives in the silent majority are so ticked off. Being the majority and cognizant of it. Less than two percent of the population is bullying its way and trampling the will of the true conservatives in the silent majority of this country and nobody is doing anything to stop it because of fear or whatever. And that's exactly why true conservatives in the silent majority are so upset. What is the worth and good of winning elections? That's the big smelly skunky - truth. The big, final, ultimate act is bothering to vote and getting winning landslide victories in 2010 and 2014, with NOTHING to show for it, nothing. That's why true conservatives in the silent majority are so mad. Tired of feeling like losers? Tired of feeling like there's no solution. The way the game is being played right now there is no recourse. The Supreme Court, with a sickening majority of liberals is, depending on the issue, pretending they are the federal government, over-reaching and smothering the other two branches so that they don't even count and don't even matter. An early July 2015 story: "Christian Farmers Fined $13,000 for Refusing to Host Same-Sex Wedding Fight Back -- The owners of a small family farm in upstate New York fined $13,000 for discriminating against a same-sex couple for refusing to host a wedding on their property are fighting back." It is a dirty rotten shame that they'll lose, especially with the Supreme Court's goffball, off-the-wall decision. Officially all resistance to the militant gay agenda is just just a rear guard action. Deemed a lost cause, like the states' rights defending Confederacy that even had blacks fighting in its ranks. Soon, like the Confederacy, all everything is gonna be declared a hate crime by the thought police to even write, mention or remember aloud. South Carolina is showing unheard of Democrat tendencies by throwing its Southern heritage under the bus. Why didn't they have a special vote? Because the VOTERS would have KEPT the Confederate flag for Confederate cemeteries. Next will be chiseling flags off gravestones like Egyptians chiseling a pharaoh's name from their history because the new pharaoh is displeased and NOW he is in charge. Why not allow a simple VOTE to dispel this FAD that got "legs" because a bigot waved the Stars and Bars among the Rhodesian and flag of South Africa. the Roof alleged murderer was NOT a member of anyone's "bigot band of loonies" but singlehandedly Roof waved and besmirched a flag that has been a symbol of Southern heritage and states' rights for many decades. is the NAACP racist because it is an old liberal symbol of racism and reminds people that they were once called "c______d"? Will the Redskins' thin-skinned word police shut down the NAACP? Will the NAACP be forced to change its name or disband? "In an appeal filed today before an appellate division of the New York Supreme Court, a lawyer for Cynthia and Robert Gifford, owners of Liberty Ridge Farm near Albany, N.Y., argued that when finding them guilty, the court did not consider their constitutional freedoms and religious beliefs. '[The decision] violates the Giffords' free exercise of religion, freedom of expressive association, and freedom of expression protected under the United States and New York Constitutions,'" according to their lawyer. Besides that it was their private property. They have NOTHING TO SAY what transpires on THEIR PROPERTY? Should they have fenced off their property entirely and posted,"NO TRESPASSING SIGNS"? There isn't a freedom of religion in the US for Christians anymore. That's the idea. "The Giffords were found guilty of 'sexual orientation discrimination' by an administrative law judge," pay the fine, and have been told that they must attend sensitivity training classes. The Supreme Court even sided with a development firm that sought to kick at least 18 families off their 18 respective properties and make them accept a buyout for their property AGAINST THEIR WISHES to sell. Some blather about the "greater good" and a bigger tax bite for the community was their excuse. People were ousted from their property,New London spent $78 million bulldozing their houses to clear the land THEN the developer backed out, Pfizer backed out of providing over 3100 jobs at a new New London facility, and the property has ONE big brick building with a white sign that READS"Thank Ypu Gov. Rell for your support" and the web URLs of two organizations protesting over-use of eminent domain, Castle Coalition and Institute for Justice. There is all sorts of BLAME here but the fact remains that these people were NOT BOUGHT OUT ONE BY ONE and their property was STOLEN by "eminent domain" protested by Supreme Court Justice Thomas.
