Cuba; Another Negro Slave Island, The Real Cuba; Communist Military Bases, Missiles, Strike First Capability against the United States is the only reason Communist Cuba is important to America. Barack Obama, nother Negro does not accept the real facts of the world, that's why America has military troops fighting around the globe, he has learned nothing as others die for his failure.  Fidel Castro, the Communist Menace is dead but the highly advanced Russian Missiles are still in place, pointed at major U.S. Cities, New York City, Washington D.C.

Cuba - The Last Tango for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton - Headline - Front Page News - Cuba Seventeen U.S. airmen captured during the Vietnam War may have been flown to Cuba, held captive in a prison noted for holding political prisoners, and used for medical experiments on torture. 

We don't know for sure, because the Obama Pentagon is balking at requests for records.

17 U.S. airmen captured during the Vietnam War and reportedly brought to Cuba for "medical experiments in torture techniques."

When U.S. Navy F-4 pilot Lt. Clemmie McKinney's plane was shot down in April 1972, he was reportedly held in the Cuban compound called Work Site Five in North Vietnam. The Department of Defense reportedly said he was killed in the crash, but a CIA document later published included a picture of McKinney standing next to Fidel Castro.

Lowery also reported:

More than 13 years later, on August 14, 1985, the North Vietnamese returned Lt. McKinney's remains, reporting that he died in November 1972. However, a U.S. Army forensic anthropologist established the "time of death as not earlier than 1975 and probably several years later."

The report speculated that he had been a guest at Havana's Los Maristas prison, with his remains returned to Vietnam for repatriation. (We also paid big money for the remains-delivered in stacks of green dollars to Hanoi aboard an AF C-141 from Travis AFB, California.) Unfortunately, our servicemen held in the Cuban POW camp near Work Site Five (Cong Truong Five), along with those in two other Cuban run camps were never acknowledged nor accounted for and the prisoners simply disappeared.

In 1999, during testimony before Congress, Mike Benge, former prisoner of war (POW) and POW historian stated: "I have also uncovered evidence of the possibility that American POWs from the Vietnam War have been held in Los Maristas, a secret Cuban prison run by Castro's G-2 intelligence service."

American POWs describe the Cuban section of a Hanoi prison as the Zoo. Cuba reportedly provided personnel who helped improve the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which was used by the communists to support military attacks against U.S. military forces in Vietnam.

The fact that we had to sue the Obama administration to get simple answers as to whether Cuba held and tortured American POWs strongly suggests that a cover-up is underway. The Obama administration admires Castro's Cuba so much that even the fate of the regime's victims, even American POWs, is of little concern.

I have a feeling that President Obama didn't raise the issue with his friends in the Cuban regime during his visit.

GITMO will close before the end of the year. GITMO Cuba.

GITMO will close before the end of the year.  GITMO Cuba.  Castro wants the leased land back and the U.S. troops off the Communist Russian backed island of Cuba and Barack Obama is dumb enough with his head up his ass to give in.  The conspiracy continues as Barack Obama roams around Havana with empty streets and full jail cells. 

Rafael Cruz is the real name of Ted Cruz - Ted sounds so American and Rafael sounds to Latino Illegal Alien Wetback even for Rafael born in Canada

Ted Cruz, Real Name, Rafael Cruz.  Why doesn't Ted Cruz use his latino Cuban real name Rafael Cruz?  Does Rafael sound too much like an illegal alien or wetback.  You see, Rafael Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was bred by a Cuban Revolutionary that was messing around with a White girl from America.  A few months later Rafael was born, as a Canadian Citizen.  Rafael Ted Cruz was a Canadian Citizen only a year or so ago.  Can't be president.  Who changed the rules again?

The gold was moving to Cuba and then to Russia to pay for the killing of released GITMO Islamic Jihadists but the elaborate plot filled with dishonest and illegal practices had some counter-plots by our comrades in Moscow Russia.

The gold was waiting on the dock in Baltimore in six small wooden crates that were stamped with the label "Leather Aprons" in red ink as the C.I.A. plain clothed agents looked east.  The gold was moving to Cuba and then to Russia to pay for the killing of released GITMO Islamic Jihadists but the elaborate plot filled with dishonest and illegal practices had some counter-plots by our comrades in Moscow Russia.

C.I.A. agent Wilkes was in charge of the band of C.I.A. brothers guarding the U.S. Government gold to be moved to Communist Cuba and the Castro family on a U.S. Coast Guard Fast Response Cutter named "The Plentiful" which was ironic to say the least.  

The 154 foot Coast Guard vessel named "The Plentiful" had all the painting and markings of the U.S. Coast Guard but it was in fact a C.I.A. ship and controlled by the fellows in the community of Langley in Virginia.  C.I.A. agent Wilkes and his men had arrived about thirty minutes before the ship was to arrive and sat around sipping their weak coffee and eating muffins from the Clipper Restaurant trying their best to look and act like vacationing fishermen waiting on the docks. 

The small wooden crates of gold simply labeled as leather aprons were to leave the Baltimore inner harbor at 0615 hours but the weather had caused some delays.  The cutter Plentiful had moved from Norfolk Virginia but had hit some bad weather that was causing the delays and making the C.I.A. agents nervous to say the least.

The weather was bad in Baltimore Maryland but Langley informed agent Wilkes that the weather off shore was at storm levels but was easing some. The C.I.A. men on the docks were not in direct contact with the cutter Plentiful so all the updates were coming from Langley but Wilkes was mainly worried about exposure by the cop in the Clipper Restaurant eating eggs and beef steak at the warm counter. 

The C.I.A. had been sending gold to Cuba for the last seven years and the gold-rimmed C.I.A. agent Wilkes knew that Cuba was being used for just temporary storage as the gold would end up in Russia within 72 hours.  Barack Obama would order the Pentagon to release a couple of Islamic Radicals from GITMO and then our Russian pals would kill them in a few months, guaranteed.  Upon the C.I.A. teams arrival the men had removed the single light bulb on the dock area where they waited as the strong winds blew across the men waiting making them believe they should murder the weather man on the news last night.  These same strong winds were creating sixteen foot waves out at sea so the cutter Plentiful were feeling their way to Baltimore. 

The Castro gang would take their ten percent and then load the U.S. gold on a Russian transport Antonov AN-124 the largest of transport jets in the world and fly directly to Moscow Russia and the airbase in Andreapol.  

The C.I.A. could only guess at this point but U.S. C.I.A. secret agents in Russia think that the gold then moves to the large saw-mill located in the dense forests which is really a secret underground facility with railway connections to Moscow.  It was clear to C.I.A. agent Wilkes that the White House really didn't care much for the details they just wanted the gold moved and the Russians paid for their help with the Islamic Jihadist's spreading around the world. 

The C.I.A. Central Intelligence Agency had cooked up the deal with President Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin and the entire operation was called "Fortune Lost" as each shipment of gold was valued at $50 million dollars.

Like a teakettle bubbling C.I.A. agent Wilkes inserted his right hand inside his coat to make sure he could feel his 9 millimeter pistol tucked into it's holster, always making him feel more confident when things didn't follow the exact time line. 

The cutter "Plentiful" would sail at full flank speed to make up the delay time but the weather was still bad even around Key West and south into Cuba.  Restlessly C.I.A. agent Wilkes was now looking into the fog which was a new surprise and would most likely increase the delays. 

As gold was becoming cheaper at times the actual weight of the small wooden crates would vary from time to time but climbing up the gangplanks of the Plentiful was always left up to the younger men.  Agent Wilkes would walk aboard the cutter and gain a signature on the hand to hand receipt as his rough C.I.A. friends and sailors on the cutter Plentiful would sign the receipt "good riddance sam" which was this shipments code signature. 

Big money was buying the killing of all the GITMO prisoners after they had been released by the United States and shipped off to some foreign land and the Russians were gladly pulling the triggers.  

Vladimir liked gold more than he hated Barack Obama so the C.I.A. had cut the deal and the main stream media never noticed that every GITMO prisoner ended up dead within a few months.  Sure, Barack Obama was closing GITMO one Jihadist at a time and Vladimir Putin was killing them for gold one bullet at a time.  

The political secret of this operation had more value than all the gold in Fort Knox so C.I.A. agent Wilkes had been put in charge from day one as only two C.I.A. big dogs knew about the deal.   

Two people in the White House and the President of the United States made a total of six people that knew about the deal with Russia. 

Now on the other hand a few dozen people knew about wealth transfers through the State Department to Cuba and other countries to help tear down the walls of Cuba and help the people to overcome the poverty of communism.  

Barack Obama was wide open about helping Cuba, Iran, North Korea and other nations but gold moving through Cuba to Russia was the greatest secret of all times. 

The storm winds slackened and then gather again and a stiff gale passed over Baltimore and the men were whipped around and jumped back into their S.U.V.'s with the gold boxes sitting on the dock.

The jagged water trenches at last eased and the cutter Plentiful entered the harbor area coming to pick up the crates of gold just like pirates of years ago.

In the city of thieves the port area was downtown filled with grafters, whores, thieves and schemers but C.I.A. agent Wilkes had no idea it was laced with hired sharpshooters as he heard the metal tinkling sound of a bullet hitting a concrete bench sitting on the dock.

The next tinkling sound he heard was the gnarled and twisted bullet tearing through the metal hood of his black S.U.V. and violently striking him in his lower left arm.

Against better judgment he opened his door as several bullet rounds struck his vehicle as the fog had lifted just a little and he saw several men on the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Plentiful  firing on his men with deadly accuracy.

It was going to be a dog fight, it would be barbaric as the machine guns opened up from the Plentiful and good men were hit and were cut down like rats.

Every Cuban Communist that touches U.S. soil, receives full welfare benefits.

Every Cuban Communist that touches U.S. soil, receives full welfare benefits.   Cuban Dictator Castro has been sending Communist's to the U.S. for over 50 years where they are guaranteed u.s. welfare benefits as refugee's, guaranteed cash.  Then they go back to Cuba and u.s. family members send the cash-out benefits to Cuba - for years and years.  Ask Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump if they will stop this abuse, today. 

The Harvard pollster got another assignment. Part Two Hot News from Oval Office Hillary Clinton Throws Fit at Barack Obama "Slavery is like a flytrap, it's the same as lying, you always get caught. Hillary Clinton and Harvard University and her Private Underground Secret Email Server while at State

Some may remember this story, it was never published as expected in the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal but the stillness of their printing presses tells the story very clearly and very loudly. Now we know that Hillary Clinton got into a fight with Barack Obama, inside the Oval Office at the White House concerning her secret underground shadow government computer email server.  Hillary knows that Barack Obama wants Joe Biden to carry his flame of progressive socialism and not Hillary.

The tobacco smoke had been cleared from the room before Hillary Clinton was scheduled to arrive.  The room wasn't cleared out because of fondness it was all done out of fear as the group became silent watching the clock, watching the road, waiting on the column of black S.U.V's carrying Hillary Clinton to upstate Maine to have a private meeting with the Harvard Professor Dorothy Sanger Long. 

The advance team for Hillary Clinton spent millions of taxpayer dollars keeping her happy and what the U.S. taxpayer couldn't pay the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation paid the rest.  Two billion dollars of mostly foreign money was stashed away with Bill and Hillary the only two human beings with signature cards.  Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are Billionaires.  Donald Trump earned his and Hillary Clinton sold American government influence and secrets for her.  Dorothy Sanger Long,  the almost famous Harvard Professor knew all about Hillary and Bill as they hired her almost constantly for the last twenty years. 


The story began a few day's ago as the Harvard Professor accepted the polling assignment task from the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation.  This was a secret just like the shadow government emails found by the FBI on the wiped Clinton server.  

Why was Donald Trump winning and could Hillary Clinton take him down.  Did Carly have any chance at all in beating Donald Trump, so many questions and they were willing to pay for the answers, would Ben Carson fall off the cliff?

At her makeshift desk in her living room she ponderously thought about the 12 questions that could discover the amazing following of Donald Trump.  The Harvard Professor was well known inside the DNC Democratic Party and even the White House.  Dorothy also had a bonus poll question to ask at least 1,200 registered voters.  Question 13 was really big and really out of the norm but Dorothy thought the question would answer the most important questions about Donald Trump.  She called it the cash question.  If Hillary Clinton wanted the results, she would have to write another check. 

Dorothy had a way with words, that created the exact questions to get the exact response Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Barack Obama and even Jeb Bush wanted.  During the presidential campaign season money flowed and she could easily earn a million dollars, one poll at a time.  You can lead people to think certain things at certain times which means you can almost control the response.  Document the results, toss into her graphing software and cash the check.  Her pollster business was booming and her checkbook had been expanding for years.

Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton and others had sent their operatives to buy her time and get her help.  Cash and Carry were always the terms as even Karl Rove called her last week, needing some schooling about polling the American voters. Karl was having some trouble calculating how the GOP could defeat Donald Trump because their idea about using FOX News debates failed, and failed big. 

Nothing made sense this time around.  Donald Trump was winning big and the so-called RNC GOP elite Jeb Bush was stuck in the mud, Hillary Clinton might go to jail, everything upside down that had to be sorted out, what were people thinking?   If you understand what people are thinking you know what they may do under certain circumstances.  Now that the insiders at the FBI have confirmed that the deleted Clinton emails are being recovered Hillary Clinton was having a fit.

Dorothy knew that people became what they thought about and what they think about drives all their actions.  Her polling was so good it was always published in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal the L.A. Times and seemingly every blog in the world.  The T.V. hounds at CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and even FOX News would show her numbers, she was big time. 

She was a little cold as the weather turned chilly in upstate Maine so her hand was shaking as she looked at the check payment from the Clinton Foundation.  It was a lot of money so she held the check for a while in some intimate way that made it hers alone.

This was not her first foundation assignment but this was the first $100,000 check that demanded a quick turnaround time.  In a rush they had contacted her and wanted a rush job and willing to lay out cash money, she had 24 hours to start and finish, maybe she should put down the check and get started.  It was the first day of fall and it was cold outside but her fireplace kept her old bones cozy. 

She had bumped a few other customers out of the way to put this Clinton work first so one hundred thousand dollar wasn't that bad of a price, the Clinton foundation has a lot of cash and many say millions more arrive every week.

She wondered what Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills and Susan Rice really wanted and she also wondered if Barack Obama knew about her secret work for the Clinton Foundation trying to backdoor the President, Joe Biden and most importantly Donald Trump.  Insiders know that Hillary and Barack don't get along and Michelle Obama hates Hillary, most likely more than Oprah.  Dorothy was focused and she worked non-stop.

Hillary was having a lot of trouble turning away from her past deeds and they were many but to her knowledge they have never written a bad check. Rumors had it that Sanders the Socialist was kicking her ass and Bill Clinton was still whoring around while Hillary was on the road running for President.  In the mean time, Donald Trump was saving America. 

Donald Trump was in the middle of a feud with FOX News as Megyn Kelly hurt his feelings and Bill O'reilly pissed him off.  Donald Trump had no problem kicking a chair out from under some talking head at CNN or Fox News, in fact he enjoyed battle.

Was Barack in the know about these secret Hillary Clinton polls?  Did Valerie Jarrett, Samantha Summers, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of them understand the secret polling being requested to jump start Hillary Clinton?  

John Boehner the Republican cry baby called her yesterday and wanted some work done but she had to tell him no for now.  She had told John that another client had bought up the next couple of days and they had prepaid for a very specific result.

Now her eyes rested on her old manual keyboard, of a real typewriter, it was the place where she would type the 12 questions and that one bonus question that could produce another Harvard Presidential Poll.

 Producing positive results for Hillary Clinton and her den of what-evers could create a great fall income.   Dorothy didn't like the Clinton's and she never liked Barack Obama but oddly enough she did her most powerful work for the people she didn't like much so working for Hillary was nothing new. 

She had noticed that Michelle Obama had trouble with her vowel sounds which always bothered the Harvard English teacher but most of all Michelle was hiding her past from Americans, just like her husband.  

Political Consulting and Polling was a great business for a Harvard Professor and the hotel was full down the road waiting for her results, they only gave her 24 hours.  

For $100,000 she would work late and perfect the questions that would point the answers and the voters to Hillary Clinton for president.  

Once the poll results were released the main stream media would push the content, always desperate for news that created a solid narrative for Hillary Clinton.  

Donald Trump wanted to make America Great Again so this survey poll had to produce a better result than the last one.  

How in the world did a Real Estate Billionaire White guy become the front runner in the Presidential elections in the socialist progressive era in America?

What made millions of American's flock to the real estate, hotel and builder?  

How could Hillary Clinton defeat the bastard? 

After the last presidential debate Donald Trump took a dip and Hillary Clinton thought there was some negative magic, even though black magic.  The Muslim slip up on Donald Trump's part caused him to drop in the polls and the Clinton's smelled blood as they needed the help dodging Black Lives Matter, Muslim Brotherhood and of course the blank email secret server that the FBI has now recovered.  The DOJ position by Lynch was going to be a big deal, bigger than Benghazi so Hillary was frantic and afraid. 

Donald Trump didn't make any comments when the nut job during live T.V. asked Donald about the Muslim president Barack Obama and the detention centers that FEMA operates this very day.  

Donald Trump, without doing anything, fell through the trap door.  Even at CBS, using 60 minutes, they wanted a pound of Trump Ass on a platter but, something wasn't right even when Donald Trump might have acted in error by saying nothing. There was something really big in America and it had nothing to do with Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush but everything to do with Donald Trump - the deal maker. 

The Harvard Professor looked up to the skylight over her desk and the dark sky reminded her that it was two fifty in the morning.  It was going to be a very long day. Governor Walker had just quit the campaign, she hoped his last check wouldn't bounce, he had been a customer for a long time. 

There was no noise in her home except she could hear her white and black cat scratching at her food bowl and wanting some warmth and pets.  Rubbing her palms together she placed her fingers on the keyboard and typed the first presidential poll question;

It was truly a million dollar question;

What is Donald Trump afraid of?

As the moon went down the sun came up and the distracting noise from her cat went away a long time ago.  She looked across the room and noticed that the fire had gone out a long time age, she hadn't even noticed except for a slight chill in the air. 

She got up from her chair and looked out the front window and noticed one of the Clinton security guards sitting on her north fence, most likely a sober Secret Service guy with big arms and a big gun.

She wondered if the guard wanted coffee as she wandered into the kitchen and struck a match to her grandfathers old gas stove that was still clinging to life after forty some years. Her home was well over a hundred and thirty years old and had a few cracks here and there but her great grandfathers homestead was the place of her birth and she called it home. 

Her grandfather had been overburdened with stories of the past and he shared all of them with his granddaughter over the years.  He would tell the story and she would transcribe them as she got older, it was the background for her first published book as a Harvard Professor over thirty years ago. 

She needed a good nap but she had written the 12 polling questions and as if she heard her grandfathers voice whispering in her ear she paused to look at his portrait hanging in the dining room.  

He would teach her many things in her early years but his teaching and her learning never stopped.  Even now at seventy three years old she still chatted with her grandfather now gone for many years.  

He would tell her " you don't understand how it was in those days Dorothy"  "they told  us where to sit, where not to stand, where to work and even where to eat"  

"it was in that state of mind Honey that the black folks like me said enough was enough" 

"when you have had enough the dribbling stops and the shooting begins"  and always to her astonishment he roamed through history with her and proved every point he was making.  

He told the stories of the run-a-way slaves hiding with the Indians during the trail of tears and the settlements and black only towns in Oklahoma, the place where his grandparents had been born as he would pause and tell me their names.

"Shall we go to the park Dorothy?"  and often times he would just walk outside and expected me to follow, which she always did as he continued to teach her.

"Slavery is prehistoric Honey"  "Strong men held the weak men down"  "Slavery had nothing to do with color, it was about brute force and it became overgrown and spread all over the world, including the Kingdoms inside the Islamic Nations" 

"Slavery is like a flytrap, it would grab you and hold you until you grew tired and surrendered"  "In time the screams were not heard, the sound of pain disappeared and the slave masters became stronger than before"  

"this is why you must learn Dorothy and learn that appearance is a simple shield that people spray on in the morning and wash off at night"  "The slaves always rise up and kill their masters"  "The slaves rub their hands together and make plans just like the slave masters"  The slaves huddle together just like their masters"  

The Harvard Professor understood that the Hillary Clinton wardrobe would never get her elected.  She was a mistake just like her husband, the impeached Bill Clinton.  

The American voters had put up with half-truths long enough, illusions about equality and peace on earth by allowing open border and millions of illegal aliens inside America,  and the embellishments about ObamaCare, Iran Nuclear deals, Syria, Soviet Russia and down right lies about everything like Lois Lerner IRS, Johanthan Gruber her M.I.T. pal from seminars and a host of others.   

The American slaves were rubbing their hands together and they were going to kill the masters. The American way of killing was to vote them out or if in a really big hurry impeach the bastards. 

She wanted to sleep but she poured two cups of hot coffee and walked outside into the cold air and toward the white skinned guard.  It would have been funny to her grandfather that a white guard was guarding and old black Harvard professor to help a White Privileged Hillary Clinton to get elected, at least she hoped he would have found the humor in all the reality of America.

The hot coffee was offered and a feeling of triumph for the both of them as they drank their steaming coffee and watched their breath make fog around them.  

She bent down and picked up the cigarette butt he had tossed into her grass during the long night and smiled at him.  Even in the half light she could see him smile with a sorry look on his face as a car pulled up to the fence and three men got out.

As an English Teacher at Harvard University her punishment was to listen to the poor choice of words coming from the lead man from the security car.  

"Freaking too cold out here!"  the security team leader had been hidden all night inside the warm motel down the road had suddenly discovered the cold air.  Dorothy was not really listening to him but she was forming a true fascination with his mastery of the English language. 

He was also shedding ash from his cigarette that was a constant agitation as he continued to brush ash off his jacket and shoes while he spoke to his guard.

"This ain't ushering Dizzy!"

"What's the doctor doing outside!"

The Harvard professor noticed the security team leader toss his cigarette in her grass and also noticed her coffee friend pick it up instantly.

Shifting around the professor turn away and walked back to her home as they were all waiting for Hillary Clinton now as minor and insignificant players in her life.

The sudden intrusion of the security team leader upset Dorothy and it was a shame she couldn't finish her coffee with the night time guard, even now she worried that he was in trouble because she was outside.

This place called home was built in 1879 by her great grandfather given to her grandfather and then her father and now her.  The railway bridge was only about fifty yards away so she grew up with cows and train whistles and the dramatic river marked the other side of the farm.  The old barn was feeling a lot of pain but the red paint made it look a lot better but the home was in fine shape for its age.

The GITMO suffering to end soon. - African Brothers Moving to South Carolina - Clinton Silent - Obama Silent - Biden Silent

The GITMO suffering to end soon.  Barack Obama plans to move the Islamic Radical Jihadist Killers to a military base - Naval Base Charleston S.C. thus closing GITMO forever and giving up the lease and giving the GITMO facility to the Castro Brothers, the Communist Soviet Russian backed killers off the Florida coast.  Obama Pentagon officials were at the Naval Brig in Charleston South Carolina to calculate the viability of the facility being converted in to a domestic GITMO.  

Obama will close GITMO before the next elections clearing the way for Joe Biden to stop the suffering of the African terrorists brothers of Barack Obama. 

Obama had to bail out Cuba because Venezuela couldn't keep carrying Castro

Obama had to bail out Cuba because Venezuela couldn't keep carrying Castro

Who paid Hillary Clinton to back Communist Cuba?

Who paid Hillary Clinton to back Communist Cuba?  Hillary wants the Cuban Embargo gone but she's not sure if she wants to build the Keystone oil pipeline.  Common humanity says put a bullet in the head of both Castro brothers so why does Obama and Hillary want Cuba alive and well?  Why is Hillary trying to help Communist Cuba?  Who paid Hillary?

GITMO Obama Pulls the Kill Switch - All the lights were gone. GITMO was closed and it was closed for good as Obama and Castro had struck the deal.

He pointed into the darkness toward the island of Cuba and told his friends that all the lights were gone.  GITMO was closed and it was closed for good as Obama and Castro had struck the deal.  You could hear the dogs barking, their restless sounds as they circled the fence line of the empty GITMO compounds.  There was a knot of anger in his chest but he kept rowing his small boat at sea and off the shores of Cuba.  Now the dogs sounded like hyenas and the tiny flames from rile shots could be seen now.  The Cuban soldiers were killing again and now the dogs went quiet too.  The Castro Communist Soldiers had killed the dogs, too much noise for the new island of peace and prosperity. 

Fu.K them all - American Embassy Washington D.C. Under the Veranda - Cuba American Embassy He had laid her out like a spit roast pig and raped her like he was having sex with a goat as she moved from happy to dizzy under the veranda.

The Cuban guard jerked off her clothing and put himself inside her, it was under the Veranda, the New Cuban Embassy in Washington D.C. as the U.S. Representative ate his late night plate of Cuban foods and drank free Russian vodka, alone in the kitchen. 

It was the cook trying to calm her down but her fear could not be controlled.  It had only been a few moments before that she had been attacked, as her body still convulsed, tears slid down her face as she pulled up her torn clothing.  

In the place of dignitaries the Cuban representative raped her and apparently had knocked her down in the garden as the birds fled upward from the trees.

The small dark Cuban guard pushed past her dignity and self-respect when she had told him no as his hand exposed his helpless penis without her.  

This Cuban was now on American soil, the new embassy was open and with several quick strokes inside her he was almost done.  Only a month ago he was a poor Cuban man working for Castro on the island but he had been promoted to Embassy guard and all the benefits that came with it.  Her shouting was a tremendous noise so he had hit her several times and a few deafening shots to the side of her heard.  She could no longer hear him but she felt him.

He was from Castro's Cuba where dysentery and malaria thrived not to mention decades of crime, rape and murder so it was nothing to treat the white woman as a prostitute.  

The Americans had been fooled by their Negro president again so the guard sat under the veranda and sipped on his drink with that Castro smile on his face.  The rapist also knew that Barack Obama would close GITMO before he left office and cut up the never ending land lease with Cuba.  The Castro Brothers promised much and they were about to deliver.  Billions of American greenback dollars would flow to the Communist nation and they were making plans, having this one girl was only the beginning.  Islam can keep their virgins in heaven, the guard wanted his now.  F.ck them all.

The woman had been handing out oranges to the few guests still remaining and wandered to ever corner of the new Cuban embassy.  She had seen him sitting under the veranda and approached him with her broad smile and a hello in Spanish, her second language learned during her two years at a community college.

He had laid her out like a spit roast pig and raped her like he was having sex with a goat as she moved from happy to dizzy under the veranda.

She heard drumming in her head as he entered her, shouting at her to remain calm taking notice that he smelled as other men flocked forward to watch.  It was then that she saw the Cuban soldiers lower their weapons and their pants as she became stunned and scattered.

They emerged and played with themselves and her body was being confused with too much touching and too many men, eventually, unable to make a sound.

Someone was dragging her, pulling at her breasts as her weeping did not stop their pushing and pulling inside her and then it all came to a halt, they had finished and were pleased.

She managed to pick herself up, slowly supporting her own weight she walked to the kitchen where the cook caught her falling as she lost her balance.

Sitting at the kitchen table, sitting alone eating, the U.S. Representative to Cuba, paying her little attention.

It was a good day for Cuba.

The Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., reopened Monday morning, marking the official end to 61 years of hostility between the Cuban and American governments.

Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla was on hand in Washington to raise the Cuban flag as the Cuban and American National Anthems played in sequence.

The event was met with both fanfare and anger.

“I’m very happy,” said Lindolfo Carballo, a community organizer originally from El Salvador. “I’m only hoping the United States is going to [take] the next step, which is ending the embargo against Cuba.”

But the event was not without protest.

“The fact of the matter is the Cuban government and American government have come to an agreement, but the people are not included in any of this,” said José Badué, a Cuban-American whose father was executed in Cuba when his mother was pregnant with him. “None of these people here who supposedly represent the Cuban government were elected by the people. So the people have not spoken.”

It remains to be seen whether the United States will lift the embargo, originally issued in 1960, or address documented human rights violations including censorship and repression that have plagued Cubans for decades.

Only Congress has the authority to fully lift the embargo.

Today a Cuban embassy will open in the United States, and an American embassy will open in Cuba. While the Obama administration fawns over its latest concession to the Castro regime, I will be honoring the legacy of a Cuban democratic martyr.

On July 22, 2012, the Cuban government murdered my friend’s father, Oswaldo Payá, and Harold Cepero. Their car was deliberately run off a road by the Cuban government.

To this day, there has never been an independent investigation into their deaths, and the Cuban government has never been held accountable. The Castro regime’s complicity and downright attacks against human rights activists have become all too common.

Earlier that same year, Amnesty International prisoner of conscience Orlando Zapata Tamayo died in prison after the Cuban government denied him water during a hunger strike. The following year, a founder of the Ladies in White, Laura Inés Pollán, died following what is widely suspected to be poisoning by the Cuban government. Their murders were particularly audacious, since they were some of Cuba’s best-known dissidents.

These heroic figures presented a direct threat to the regime. In 1988, Oswaldo Payá founded the Christian Liberation Movement, the largest and arguably the most powerful dissident organization on the island. Founded by Catholics, the organization was founded on the belief of human dignity and democratic governance.

Perhaps Oswaldo Payá’s greatest contribution to Cuban freedom was the “Varela Project,” an initiative in which 11,000 brave Cubans petitioned the Cuban government for political and social freedoms. It should be noted that at the time, the “Constitution of Cuba guaranteed the right to a national referendum on any proposal that achieved 10,000 or more signatures.” This heroic effort was absolutely unprecedented in Castro’s Cuba.

Payá was known throughout the world as Cuba’s leading pro-democracy figure. In 2002, the European Parliament awarded him the Sakharov Prize, and in 2005, he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Václav Havel, the former president of the Czech Republic.

Following his death, the U.S. Senate “unanimously approved a resolution honoring the life and legacy of Oswaldo Payá.” That resolution included a call for the “[g]overnment of Cuba to allow an impartial, third-party investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Oswaldo Payá Sardinas.”

Since his death, his daughter Rosa Maria Payá has carried on her father’s legacy. For the past three years, she’s traveled the world, calling on the international community to hold the Cuban government accountable. The United Nations in particular has been an abysmal failure in this case. The governments of China, Pakistan, Belarus and Nicaragua joined the Cuban government in trying to block Rosa Maria Payá’s speech before the Human Rights Council. As her father’s daughter, she’s spent much of her life under surveillance and death threats by the Cuban government.

Earlier this year, in testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Payá warned the Obama administration:

The Cuban government wouldn’t have dared to carry out its death threats against my father if the U.S. government and the democratic world had been showing solidarity. If you turn your face, impunity rages. While you slept, the regime was conceiving their cleansing of the pro-democracy leaders to come. While you sleep, a second generation of dictators is planning with impunity their next crimes.

Any decent person should be morally outraged that the White House has allowed Oswaldo Payá’s death to go unpunished. Next week, while Obama’s diplomats celebrate alongside their Cuban counterparts, I’ll be lighting a candle in the memory of Oswaldo Payá.

CUBA, the Communist Island, is now a friend. Thank goodness that Barack Obama took the island stronghold off the terrorist list. The CASTRO

CUBA, the Communist Island, is now a friend.  Thank goodness that Barack Obama took the island stronghold off the terrorist list.  The CASTRO dream come true, a president dumb enough came along, just a matter of time.  Now that Iran and Cuba are off the U.S. DHS CIA DOD DIA terrorist list we can relax. 

Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation continues to take truckloads of Cash from Foreign Governments for future favors, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Algerian and surly others Obama

Hillary Rodham Clinton, the wife of impeached president Bill Clinton has been taking cash money, piles of cash, truckloads of cash money from Islamic Muslim Militants, at least per Al-Jazeera and other reportings.  It should be noted that ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN are not reporting on Hillary Clintons foreign money grab, even while she served as secretary of state under the radical Islamist Barack Obama.  The media of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN are very hopeful that the cash cow will die before people learn all about it.   Its very well known that Bill and Hillary Clinton are not honest and are corrupt to the very bone but this latest Clinton Scandal - Obama Scandal is very bad for America. 

“The Clinton Foundation accepted millions of dollars from seven foreign governments during Hillary Rodham Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state, including one donation that violated its ethics agreement with the Obama administration.”

And there was damning detail: “In one instance, foundation officials acknowledged they should have sought approval in 2010 from the State Department ethics office, as required by the agreement for new government donors, before accepting a $500,000 donation from the Algerian government.”

So even when Clinton was secretary of State, foreign regimes looking to curry favor with the administration were able to use the backdoor route of the foundation run by her husband. These included Kuwait, Qatar and Oman. And the foundation didn’t even follow its own rules.

What’s more, what is now the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation thinks it’s all right once again to solicit foreign governments that of course would love to buy influence with a potential president.

Barack Obama Part Twelve

The Cuban System

Leftists revere Communist Cuba for numerous reasons, not the least of which is the government-run, universal health care system that was put in place by Fidel Castro. Many of these admirers—among the more notable of whom is the filmmaker Michael Moore—form their impressions of the Cuban health care system from its tourist hospitals, which are, by any standards, clean, well staffed, and of excellent quality. Indeed Cuba, in an effort to attract wealthy foreign tourists who might be willing to spend their money on health care services, has pioneered the practice of so-called “health tourism” through agencies such as Servimed, which markets Cuban medical services abroad.

But hospitals for ordinary Cubans possess a dearth of even the most basic medicines and medical equipment. They have virtually no access to antibiotics, insulin, heart drugs, sphygmomanometers to measure blood pressure, sterile gloves, clean water, syringes, soap, or disinfectants.

Cuban hospitals typically feature unsanitary conditions. Hospital gowns, linens, and towels must be provided and cleaned by the patients' families. Poor sanitation is extended to the medical instruments handled by doctors and nurses; often these items are not properly sterilized and they remain soiled with traces of tissue and blood after their use. Syringes are frequently used to inject multiple patients without any sterilization, and “disposable” gloves are likewise used and reused. Consequently, infectious diseases are commonplace in the Cuban hospital population.

Cuba's health care system is a disaster not only for patients but also for physicians. Because of the meager salaries paid to Cuban doctors—on the average 400 pesos per month (equivalent to $20 U.S.)—many have quit the profession to seek jobs in the only industry that offers them any degree of economic opportunity: the Cuban tourism industry. Former doctors in Cuba can commonly be found driving dilapidated taxis, acting as tour guides, or even working in family inns as waiters or cooks. Those who choose to remain in the medical profession work long hours in dismal conditions.

It is noteworthy that in the pre-Castro years of the 1950s, the Cuban population as a whole had access to good medical care through association clinics which predated the American concept of health maintenance organizations (HMOs) by decades, as well as through private clinics. At that time, the Cuban medical system ranked among the best in the world; its ratio of one physician per 960 patients was rated 10th by the World Health Organization. In addition, Cuba had Latin America's lowest infant-mortality rate, comparable to Canada's and better than those of France, Japan, and Italy.

OBAMA AND ENERGY / ENVIRONMENT

(Return to Table of Contents)

Obama's “Global Warming” Alarmism

Barack Obama is unambiguous in maintaining that human industrial activity causes global warming. As his 2008 presidential campaign declared: “Global warming is real, is happening now and is the result of human activities. The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years. Glaciers are melting faster; the polar ice caps are shrinking; trees are blooming earlier; oceans are becoming more acidic, threatening marine life; people are dying in heat waves; species are migrating, and eventually many will become extinct. Scientists predict that absent major emission reductions, climate change will worsen famine and drought in some of the poorest places in the world and wreak havoc across the globe. In the U.S., sea-level rise threatens to cause massive economic and ecological damage to our populated coastal areas.”

The Truth about Global Warming

The geophysicist Fred Singer points out that: “The Earth's climate has never been steady; it has either warmed or cooled—without any human intervention—since the dawn of time. The measured variations have often been larger and more rapid than those currently predicted by climate models for the year 2100. In the last 3,000 years, temperatures in the North Atlantic have changed by as much as 3°C within a few decades.... None of the climate models incorporate the effects of a variable sun. It has always been assumed that solar variability is simply too small, but this view is now changing. Evidence shows that solar winds and sunspots can affect the earth's ozone layer and influence atmospheric circulation or cloudiness—which in turn can cause significant climate changes.... As for the association of climate change with atmospheric greenhouse gases, on the time-scale of hundreds of millions of years, carbon dioxide (CO2) has sharply declined; its concentration was as much as 20 times the present value at the beginning of the Cambrian Period, 600 million years ago. Moreover, glaciations have occurred throughout geologic time even when CO2 concentrations were high.”

As of mid-2008, no fewer than 31,000 U.S. scientists had signed a petition rejecting the assumption that the human production of greenhouse gases was damaging Earth's climate.

In late November 2009, the so-called “Climategate” scandal cast grave doubt on the intellectual integrity of those leading the effort to spread fear about the alleged dangers of global warming. At the heart of the controversy was the discovery that a number of leading American and British climatologists who held that mankind's industrial activity was causing a dangerous warming trend in the earth's atmosphere, had intentionally manipulated the evidence in order to provide “proof” that their warnings were justified. The scientists' deceptions were found out when hundreds of their private email messages and documents were obtained and publicized by computer hackers.

In October 2012, it was reported that from the beginning of 1997 until August 2012, there had been no discernible rise in aggregate global temperatures. A the Daily Mail explained: “This means that the ‘plateau’ or ‘pause’ in global warming has now lasted for about the same time as the previous period when temperatures rose, 1980 to 1996. Before that, temperatures had been stable or declining for about 40 years.”

Obama Opposes Oil Drilling in Alaska's ANWR Region

As a U.S. Senator, Obama voted against permitting the United States to drill for oil and natural gas in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), a 19.6-million-acre area situated in the top northeast corner of Alaska, just north of the Arctic Circle and about 1,300 miles south of the North Pole. He continues to oppose drilling in ANWR, asserting that such a measure would despoil a pristine natural wonderland.

The Truth About ANWR

The portion of ANWR where drilling would occur consists of just 2,000 acres, or one-one hundredth of 1% of ANWR's total expanse. Moreover, it is a barren, frozen wasteland for much of the year. During its eight-month winter, temperatures drop as low as 70 degrees below zero. The region is shrouded in near-total darkness for five months, and for 56 days there is no sunlight at all. No trees live in this inhospitable region, and wildlife is present for only about six weeks each year.

Opponents of drilling warn that local caribou populations would suffer mass death as a result of any industrial intrusion by man. The same was said in the 1970s by opponents of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline (TAP), which became operative in 1977 and now transports heated oil south from Prudhoe Bay (located about 100 miles west of Area 1002). TAP is the most environmentally responsible oil field in the world. After TAP's inception, the caribou population in its vicinity increased from about 3,000 in the 1970s to more than 32,000 in 2009; animals have actively sought out, and thrived in, the heat radiating from the oil pipes. Not a single wildlife species has decreased in population at Prudhoe Bay since TAP became part of the landscape.

Just Make Sure “Your Tires Are Properly Inflated”

At a July 30, 2008 campaign stop in Missouri, Obama said: “There are things that you can do individually ... to save energy; making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they’re talking about getting off [from] drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much.”

Obama and the Demise of the Coal Industry

In January 2008 Obama said the following about the future of the coal industry, which currently accounts for half of all the electricity produced in America: “If somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, It’s just that it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” Added Obama: “When I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, you know, under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.”

In late March 2012, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed a new rule that would limit carbon dioxide emissions from new power plants. No coal-fired power plant would be able to meet the emission limit (1,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per megawatt of power produced), but natural gas-fired power plants could. If passed, this rule would ensure that no new, modern coal-fired power plants would be built in the United States.

Obama's Energy Secretary Reiterates His Support for High Gas Prices

In 2008, Obama's energy secretary, Steven Chu, advocated steep rises in gasoline prices as a means of coaxing Americans into being more fuel-efficient and purchasing green energy cars: “Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe” (i.e., approximately $10 per gallon). In March 2011, Chu reiterated his support for high gasoline prices: “What I’m doing since I became secretary of Energy has been quite clear. What I have been doing is developing methods to take the pain out of high gas prices. We have been very focused in the Department of Energy on that. And, in fact, the entire administration has been very focused on that.”

Cap-and-Trade: An Energy Tax on Everyone

In a February 2009 speech to Congress, President Obama called for the implementation of a cap-and-trade environmental plan designed to reduce carbon emissions. The cap-and-trade legislation (known officially as the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, or the Waxman-Markey bill, in honor of its congressional sponsors) would have established an economy-wide cap on carbon emissions and then permitted companies to buy or sell emission “credits.”

Robert Murphy, author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Capitalism, explained the mechanism by which cap-and-trade would impose costs on the American public: “Under a cap-and-trade scheme, the government sets an absolute cap on how much carbon dioxide industries can emit in the United States, and it enforces this cap by selling a limited number of allowances. All of the operations (utilities, factories, etc.) covered by the law must turn in the appropriate number of allowances based on how much carbon dioxide they release into the atmosphere each year. The government gets its revenues from auctioning off these allowances to the highest bidder.”

The ultimate result of cap-and-trade would be carbon rationing, since there would be a fixed number of carbon allowances available to American businesses as a whole. Such rationing would raise the operating costs of many businesses, which in turn would pass those costs on to their customers. According to the Heritage Foundation, the average American household would incur additional costs ranging from $1,870 to $6,970 per year. An MIT study placed the figure at $3,100. A March 2009 U.S. Treasury Department document said “a cap and trade program could generate federal receipts on the order of $100 to $200 billion annually.” That is the equivalent of raising personal income taxes by approximately 15%, or $1,761 a year, per household.

In 2008, candidate Obama readily acknowledged that cap-and-trade would impose significantly higher energy costs on Americans of all income levels: “[U]nder my plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

Because cap-and-trade proposals became extremely unpopular with the American public in 2009, the legislation was never passed by the Senate and thus did not become law, thereby preventing Obama from imposing an enormous tax on the American people.

Thus rebuffed by Congress, Obama next sought to impose cap-and-trade by circumventing the legislative process and imposing cap-and-trade through edicts by his Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As the Washington Post reported in August 2011: “Over the next 18 months, the Environmental Protection Agency will finalize a flurry of new rules to curb pollution from coal-fired power plants. Mercury, smog, ozone, greenhouse gases, water intake, coal ash—it’s all getting regulated.... Industry groups such the Edison Electric Institute, which represents investor-owned utilities, and the American Legislative Exchange Council have dubbed the coming rules 'EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck.' The regulations, they say, will cost utilities up to $129 billion and force them to retire one-fifth of coal capacity. Given that coal provides 45 percent of the country’s power, that means higher electric bills, more blackouts and fewer jobs.”

A Heritage Foundation report states that cap-and-trade, if pursued unilaterally by the United States, “would moderate temperatures by only hundredths of a degree in 2050 and no more than two-tenths of a degree at the end of the century.” In other words, the bill would extract trillions of dollars out of the U.S. economy in exchange for a benefit so small as to be—even in a best-case scenario—wholly imperceptible. Said the same report: “A multilateral approach would not fare much better. In the case of international cooperation, India, China, and the rest of the developing world would have to revert to their 2000 levels of CO2 emissions by 2050. On a per-capita basis, China would backtrack to about one-tenth of what the U.S. emitted in 2000. India and most of the developing world would have to drop to even lower levels. This scenario, in addition to being highly unlikely, would de-develop the developing world.” The issue of multilateralism was moot, however. China and India hadve long maintained that they have no intention of abiding by the regulations of any cap-and-trade schemes.

Obama's Opposition to U.S. Oil Drilling

On March 31, 2010, President Obama announced that he would open the door to oil drilling off Virginia's coast, in other parts of the mid- and south Atlantic, in the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and in waters off Alaska. At the same time, he declared off-limits the waters off the West Coast and in Alaska's Bristol Bay, canceled four scheduled lease sales in Alaska and called for more study before allowing new lease sales in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas. Steve Everly of American Solutions.com put Obama's announcement in context: “The plan is defined more by what it restricts than what it opens up.... No drilling in the Pacific Ocean. No drilling in a large portion of the Atlantic Ocean. No drilling in some of the most promising areas of the Gulf of Mexico. No drilling in much of Alaska.... When Congress voted in 2008 not to extend the ban on offshore drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf [OCS], they did not choose to keep a ban on Pacific waters, nor did they intend for a de facto ban to remain in effect in the OCS for at least another four years. What Congress did through legislative action, acting in accordance with the public will, the President has undone with the stroke of a pen.”

On April 20, 2010, the disastrous BP/Deepwater Horizon oil leak began to spew thousands of barrels of crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico on a daily basis. In a report which he issued on May 27, 2010, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar recommended a six-month moratorium on all deepwater drilling—notwithstanding the fact that five out of seven consulting engineers stated that such drilling had a strong safety record, and that targeted inspections would be more sensible than a blanket moratorium.

In June 2010, federal judge Martin Feldman of Louisiana ordered Salazar and the Obama administration to to lift their “arbitrary and capricious, and therefore, unlawful” ban on offshore drilling in the Gulf. The following month, when a U.S. Court of Appeals denied the administration's bid to put a hold on Feldman's order, the Interior Secretary promptly concocted a second, “revised” moratorium to replace the one Feldman had nullified. Though Salazar officially “lifted” this second ban three months thereafter, he would issue no additional permits that year. Rather, in 2010 he actually rescinded 77 oil-lease contracts that had previously been granted—after seven full years of rigorous study and debate—during the final days of the Bush administration. Federal courts repeatedly scolded Salazar and the Obama administration for their “determined disregard” of judicial orders and their “increasingly inexcusable” action on stalled deepwater drilling projects, to no effect.

In February 2011, Judge Feldman—complaining that the Obama administration’s “time delays at issue here are unreasonable”—ordered Salazar and the President to decide within a month whether they would grant a set of five permits for deepwater drilling projects in the Gulf of Mexico. Obama and Salazar chose not to comply for several weeks, and instead issued yet another request to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay of Feldman's order. Finally, in March 2011 Salazar gave the Shell Offshore Company permission to apply for drilling permits for three new exploratory wells off the Louisiana coast.

Obama Funds Brazilian Oil-Drilling Venture

In late August 2009, President Obama agreed to lend $2 billion to Brazil’s quasi-public national oil company, Petrobras, to fund its exploration and drilling of 270 sites in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the richest oil fields in the world (where environmentalist objections had historically thwarted any drilling proposals by U.S. companies). Petrobras is headed by José Sergio Gabrielli, a socialist member of Brazil’s leftist Workers’ Party. Brazil’s socialist government holds 40% of Petrobras’ shares of stock. The government of China also owns a significant stake in Petrobras.

Brazil was not the only country preparing to drill for oil in the Gulf region. China, India, Norway, Spain, and Russia, to name a few, had also signed agreements with countries bordering the Gulf, such as Cuba and the Bahamas, authorizing them to initiate exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico.

Obama's False Claims about U.S. Oil and Gas Production under His Watch

During his January 24, 2012 State of the Union Speech, President Obama took credit for the highest levels of natural gas production in more than 30 years and the highest levels of oil production in eight years. But these increases had nothing whatsoever to do with Obama's policies. A non-partisan Congressional Research Service (CRS) report released in March 2012 revealed that fully 96 percent of the increase in oil production had occurred on private land, not on land owned or controlled by the federal government.

According to a January 2012 Heritage Foundation report, oil and natural gas production on federal lands was down by more than 40% compared to a decade earlier. Under the Obama administration, fewer onshore leases were issued in 2010 than in any year since 1984.

Obama's Assault on the Oil and Gas Industries

Obama seeks to raise taxes on the oil industry by denying it access to tax credits available to other industries. As the Heritage Foundation points out, the same tax treatment is extended to producers of clothing, roads, electricity, water, and many other manufactured goods; in fact, oil companies receive less of a tax break (6%) than those manufacturers (9%). In short, Obama's condemnation of oil company profits is nothing more than populist rhetoric.

The Heritage Foundation adds: “When President Obama lashes out at 'Big Oil,' guess who’s going to pay the price? You. First, raising taxes on any company means that the costs will be passed on to consumers.... Second, when the president talks about 'Big Oil,' keep in mind who 'Big Oil' is—it could very well be you. Thirty-one percent of U.S. oil and natural gas shares are owned by public or private pension plans. On top of that, individual retirement accounts hold 18 percent of shares, individual investors have 21 percent, and asset management companies including mutual funds account for 21 percent—comprising more than 90 percent of oil and gas stocks in 2011. That means when those companies profit, there’s a good chance you profit. And when those companies suffer, there’s a good chance that you suffer, too.”

Obama Limits Oil Shale Exploration

On November 9, 2012 -- three days after Obama's reelection as president -- the administration's Interior Department announced its plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated (by the Bush administration) for oil shale development. Interior’s Bureau of Land Management cited environmental concerns for the proposed changes. For example, it excised lands with “wilderness characteristics” and areas that infringed on sage grouse habitats. The plan left 677,000 acres in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming open for oil shale exploration, and called for another 130,000 acres in Utah to be set aside for tar sands production.

The “Green Energy” Disaster: Solyndra, etc.

Between 2009 and 2012, Obama pumped $90 billion of taxpayer money into green energy initiatives, most of which failed because they could not compete in the energy marketplace. This included, most famously, $535 million that was fast-tracked to the solar panel company Solyndra. A major Solyndra investor, billionaire George Kaiser, was a big Obama donor and one of the president's campaign fundraising “bundlers.”

It was obvious, from the outset, that Solyndra was a risky investment. As early as 2008, Fitch Ratings assigned the company a mediocre B+ credit rating, and Dun & Bradstreet assessed its credit as “fair.” In March 2010, the accounting firm Price Waterhouse Coopers observed that Solyndra “has suffered recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows since inception and has a net stockholders’ deficit that, among other factors, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.” Yet two months later, Obama told an audience of Solyndra employees that “the future is here.” A month after that, Solyndra withdrew a scheduled Initial Public Offering, despite being informed by auditors that the company would not survive even a year if it failed to raise the $300 million it was seeking.

In late October 2010, Solyndra was ready to announce that it would have to lay off many of ts workers. But the Obama administration pushed the company “very hard” to delay that announcement until November 3—the day after the midterm elections where Democrats were in danger of losing control of the House of Representatives. Solyndra complied, and waited until November 3 to make its announcement.

In July 2011, Solyndra CEO Brian Harrison went to Washington, DC to tell lawmakers that his company was in a “strong financial position.” Two weeks later, the company closed its doors, laid off 1,100 workers and filed for bankruptcy.

Other Federally Funded “Green Energy” Debacles

Amonix Solar: In July 2012, this Las Vegas-based manufacturing plant—subsidized by more than $20 million in federal tax credits and grants awarded by the Obama administration—permanently shuttered its operations a year after it had opened.

Solar Trust of America: This company filed for bankruptcy on April 3, 2012.

Bright Source: Though this solar-power company has already lost billions of dollars, the Obama administration continues to pump money into it.

LSP Energy: This electricity producer filed for bankruptcy protection and a sale of its assets in February 2012.

Energy Conversion Devices: This renewable-energy company and its subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy on February 14, 2012.

Abound Solar: Soon after receiving a $400 million loan guarantee from the Obama administration, this solar-panel company announced in June 2012 that it would file for bankruptcy. A major investor in Abound Solar was Bohemian Companies, whose founder, Democratic mega-donor Pat Stryker, had not only donated $35,800 to the Obama Victory Fund, but had also contributed $50,000 for Obama’s 2008 inauguration and bundled another 87,000 for that event.

SunPower: This company stopped producing solar cells in 2011, when it was near bankruptcy.

Beacon Power: This energy company filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2011, just a year after Obama had approved a $43 million government loan guarantee.

Ecotality: This San Francisco-based green-technology company received approximately $115 million in loan guarantees from President Obama, though it has never turned a profit and sits on the precipice of bankruptcy.

A123 Systems: This lithium battery manufacturer, backed by $249 million in subsidies from the Obama administration, filed for bankruptcy on October 16, 2012.

UniSolar: This company filed for bankruptcy on June 20, 2012 after laying off hundreds of employees. Obama then awarded it additional money, but it continues to operate at a huge loss.

Azure Dynamics: After the Obama administration gave this electric- and hybrid-vehicle company millions of dollars in “stimulus” funds as well as tax abatements and tax credits, this company filed for bankruptcy in June 2012.

Evergreen Solar: After receiving $527 million in taxpayer funds from the Obama administration, this company laid off some 1,800 workers in early 2011. Later that year, it filed for bankruptcy.

Ener1: This electric-car battery manufacturer received a $118 million grant from Obama's Energy Department, then defaulted on debt and filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2012.

Commitment to the Fight Against “Global Warming

During his second inaugural address as president on January 21, 2013, the newly re-elected Obama emphasized his commitment to pursuing “green energy” as a means of addressing the threat of global warming: “We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But American cannot resist this transition. We must lead it.”

Obama Prepares to Roll out Sweeping Climate Regulations

On November 11, 2014, Politico reported that "the Obama administration is set to roll out a series of climate and pollution measures that rivals any president’s environmental actions of the past quarter-century ... sweeping executive actions to combat global warming.... The coming rollout includes a Dec. 1 proposal by EPA to tighten limits on smog-causing ozone, which business groups say could be the costliest federal regulation of all time; a final rule Dec. 19 for clamping down on disposal of power plants’ toxic coal ash; the Jan. 1 start date for a long-debated rule prohibiting states from polluting the air of their downwind neighbors; and a Jan. 8 deadline for issuing a final rule restricting greenhouse gas emissions from future power plants."

Climate Accord with China

On November 12, 2014, President Obama, who was in Beijing for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, reached a "climate change" agreement (limiting "greenhouse gas emissions") with Chinese President Xi Jinping. According to the Wall Street Journal, the deal would require the U.S. to "double the average pace of its carbon-dioxide reductions after 2020, eyeing an overall reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions of between 26% and 28% by 2025, compared with 2005 levels." China, meanwhile, would continue to increase its emissions for 15 years before capping them in 2030. Said Obama: "We hope to encourage all major economies to be ambitious -- all countries, developing and developed -- to work across some of the old divides, so we can conclude a strong global climate agreement next year."

Obama Condemned Warrantless Wiretaps of Terror Suspects

Denouncing the Bush administration's warrantless wiretaps of terror suspects, candidate Obama said in 2007: “This administration acts like violating civil liberties is the way to enhance our security. It is not.”

Obama Accused the Bush Administration of Trampling on the Constitution

“I taught constitutional law for ten years at the University of Chicago,” said candidate Obama in 2008. “... Your next president will actually believe in the Constitution, which you can’t say about your current president.”

Senator Obama Denounced the Troop Surge That Ultimately Turned the Tide of the Iraq War

In January 2007—three weeks after President Bush announced that he would deploy an extra 20,000 troops to Iraq in a “surge” strategy designed to crush the enemy with overwhelming force—then-Senator Obama derided the surge in unequivocal terms. “I don’t know any expert on the region or any military officer that I’ve spoken to privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground,” he said prior to its implementation. Soon after the surge had been initiated, Obama declared prematurely: “Here’s what we know. The surge has not worked.”

The surge proved to be a spectacular success and enabled the U.S. to win the war in Iraq.

New Limits on Interrogating Terrorists

Two days after his inauguration, President Obama issued an executive order requiring all U.S. agents who interrogate high-value detainees to abide by the guidelines set forth in the Army Field Manual (AMF), whose limits on interrogation practices are much stricter than those traditionally followed by the CIA. For example, the AMF prohibits interrogators from subjecting detainees to “excessive noise,” “excessive dampness,” or “excessive or inadequate heat, light or ventilation”; it bans any sleep deprivation that does not permit a detainee at least four hours of sleep per night; it states that “all prisoners and detainees, regardless of status, will be treated humanely”; and it forbids interrogators from taunting detainees by such means as mocking those passages of the Koran that serve as the basis for the jihadists’ fanatical beliefs.

“Man-Caused Disasters,” Not “Terrorism”

In March 2009, Obama's Department of Homeland Security broke with its traditional practice of warning the American public about potential “terrorist” threats, and instead began referring to acts of terrorism as “man-caused disasters.”

Miranda Warnings for Suspected Terrorists

In June 2009 the Obama Justice Department, demonstrating its preference to treat terrorism as a law-enforcement issue rather than as a military matter, ordered the FBI to give Miranda warnings to enemy combatants captured at war in Afghanistan.

Obama Refers to Jihadist Mass Murder As "Workplace Violence"

On November 5, 2009, U.S. Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan -- a Muslim convert who had previously made his jihadist objectives known -- went on a shooting rampage inside the Fort Hood military post in Texas, killing 13 people and wounding at least 31 others. According to eyewitnesses, he shouted "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is Great!") while he was shooting. The Obama administration characterized the incident as "workplace violence."

Obama Releases 12 Prisoners from Guantanamo

In December 2009, President Obama released twelve more jihadists from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba: four Afghanis, two Somalis, and six Yemenis. One of the ex-prisoners, a Somali named Mohamed Saleban Bare, had ties to Al-Ittihad Al-Islamiya, a Somali Islamist movement that produced many leaders of the al Qaeda-linked Shebab terror group.

Obama's Reluctance to Use the Word “Terrorist”

On Christmas Day of 2009, a Nigerian al Qaeda operative boarded a Northwest Airlines flight (from Amsterdam to Detroit) and attempted, without success, to blow up the plane in midair with a chemical bomb. In public remarks soon after the incident, President Obama referred to the man as an “isolated extremist” rather than as a terrorist or a jihadist. In subsequent days the administration announced that it would offer the perpetrator a plea agreement to persuade him to reveal what he knew about al Qaeda operations in Yemen; if such an arrangement could not be worked out, the government planned to try him in federal civilian court.

Obama Condemns Waterboarding

On the matter of using enhanced interrogation techniques (such as waterboarding) on high-level terrorist suspects, in 2008 candidate Obama emphatically pledged to end that practice, which he viewed as “torture.”

Betraying CIA Personnel, Obama Releases Highly Classified “Torture” Memos

In April 2009, against the protestations of former CIA director Michael Hayden, President Obama released a number of legal memos detailing the types of enhanced-interrogation techniques that U.S. authorities had used on suspected terrorists in the past. According to the declassified memos, waterboarding had been used on both Khalid Shaikh Mohammed (mastermind of the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa and the 9/11 attacks) and Abu Zubaydah (al Qaeda’s operational planner).

In an interview, Hayden said that anyone who objected to the CIA’s use of such methods was avoiding a very “inconvenient truth”: “[T]he use of these techniques against these terrorists made us safer.... [O]ne detainee led to another, led to another, with the use of these techniques.... At the tactical level, what we have [now] described [with the release of the memos] for our enemies in the midst of a war are the outer limits that any American would ever go to in terms of interrogating an al-Qaeda terrorist. That’s very valuable information.”

President Obama later stated that while the “enhanced interrogation” techniques had indeed produced valuable intelligence, the same information could have been obtained in other ways—though he did not specify how.

Obama Threatens to Prosecute Bush Administration Officials and CIA Interrogators Who Condoned and Practiced Waterboarding

On April 21, 2009, the Obama administration announced that it would entertain the idea of prosecuting Bush administration officials who had crafted legal opinions that led to the use of methods (such as waterboarding) that Obama considered to be torture.

In late August 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that he would soon launch a criminal probe of former CIA interrogators who, during the Bush administration, may have used techniques such as waterboarding, which Obama had recently banned. Former Vice President Dick Cheney reacted to Holder’s announcement as follows: “It’s an outrageous political act that will do great damage, long-term, to our capacity to be able to have people take on difficult jobs, make difficult decisions, without having to worry about what the next administration is going to say…. It’s a very, very devastating, I think, effect that it has on morale inside the intelligence community.”

On September 18, 2009, seven former CIA chiefs—John Deutch, Porter Goss, Michael Hayden, James R. Schlesinger, George Tenet, William Webster and R. James Woolsey—sent a letter to President Obama urging him to call off the investigation of the agency's interrogation methods, on grounds that it would weaken the government's intelligence-gathering abilities and deter other nations from working with the United States. Said the letter: “Success in intelligence often depends on surprise and deception and on creating uncertainty in the mind of an enemy. But, the administration must be mindful that public disclosure about past intelligence operations can only help al Qaeda elude U.S. intelligence and plan future operations…. Those men and women who undertake difficult intelligence assignments in the aftermath of an attack such as Sept. 11 must believe there is permanence in the legal rules that govern their actions.”

Obama responded by saying that he had no intention of calling off the investigation.
