Freedom Watch needs help to Fight the “Soros Money Machine”

•February 6, 2008 • 3 Comments

George Soros and Company are on the move again. This time they are trying to off set the success “Freedom’s Watch” has had in preventing the “progressive” onslaught in Congress. In response, Soros and company have launched a new campaign with a new “527,” Fund for America, designed to elect their candidate President in 2008 and retain control of Congress.

We can not afford to let “Fund for America” succeed in “buying” the White House the way they “bought the Democratic Party!” If you want to help, then here is a copy of the email sent to me by Freedom’s Watch asking for help:

Dear Devildog6771,

I have some urgent and important news to share with you.

Freedom’s Watch and the conservative movement faces its greatest challenge to date – AND YOUR IMMEDIATE HELP IS NEEDED.

Let me get right to the point. The Far-Left billionaire George Soros is building a “Left-Wing juggernaut” aimed at electing liberal candidates this fall by filling the airwaves with misleading ads. I need your gift of $35 to help me fight back!

Here’s the story. According to the Los Angeles Times, George Soros is building a new organization (ironically named Fund for America) “to help Democrats win the White House and retain control of Congress.” According to the paper, the Fund was started as “the liberal answer to the conservative Freedom’s Watch.”

Freedom’s Watch – that’s us. We’re the ones who have been taking the fight to the Liberals on their plans to raise taxes, provide benefits for illegal aliens, play politics with the troops, and cut-and-run in Iraq .

The good news is we got their attention. The bad news is it looks like we really got their attention! [my emphasis]

For starters, Soros is writing a personal check of $2.5 million to neutralize us. The Big Labor bosses are pitching in another $2.5 million. And that’s just for starters. The Wall Street Journal reports the Fund for America plans to spend $200 million this election cycle. Freedom’s Watch has certainly put them on notice.

Will you help us fight back by making a special online gift of $35 right now?

In an odd way, what Soros and his gang are doing is a compliment. After all, we have been remarkably successful in getting “our side of the story” out to literally millions of Americans. In the first 6 months, we:

1.) Launched a major national media blitz urging Americans to support our troops and fight the “cut and run” members of Congress who wanted to defund our brave men and women in uniform;

2.) Fought MoveOn.org’s slanderous attacks on our troops and forced the New York Times to stop giving them preferential advertising rates;

3.) Denounced Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to Columbia University and called him out for his anti-American rhetoric;

4.) Forced NBC to air our non-partisan, non-political ads thanking the troops this holiday season; and

5.) Educated Ohioans about the issue of illegal immigration during last year’s special election and prevented the seat from going to an out-and-out Liberal.

We have achieved a great deal over the past few months – but much more needs to be done. And George Soros and his liberal friends will do everything possible to stop us!

That’s why I need you to join our efforts to get the truth out about what Lefties like Soros have in store for America .

With your help, we can match Soros and company dollar for dollar. And if we have the necessary resources to deliver our commonsense conservative messages of standing up to Big Labor, supporting conservative judicial nominees, fighting illegal drugs, educating Americans about the real dangers of Radical Islam, and promoting market-based solutions to America’ s problems, I am convinced we will win.

But to do so, I need your help and I need it today.

Please take a moment to support Freedom’s Watch by making a secure online contribution of $35. And if you can afford a more generous gift of $50, $100, or even $250 or more, that will be an even bigger help.

Thanks in advance for your help at this critical time. I hope we can count on you!

Your friend,

Bradley A. Blakeman
President and CEO

P.S. George Soros and the Big Labor bosses are on a mission to take America to the Far Left – and they are willing to spend whatever it takes to do it. Freedom’s Watch is the only conservative group able to go toe-to-toe with them. Won’t you please help us fight George Soros by making a secure online contribution of $35 or more so we can match him dollar for dollar?

Thanks again.

Who the “heck” is Francis Lieber?

•February 5, 2008 • 2 Comments

Argghhh! The Home of Two Of Jonah’s Military Guys) has a great post, Milblogging: Francis Lieber and the Loyal Publication Society, that I think everyone should read. at has written a post that goes back in history to the time of our Civil War. During the war, Lincoln’s Administration and the Union, much as we are seeing today with this present War failed to take advantage of an organized “PR” and News Campaign. This hurt the Union cause because the South took full advantage of the written word and an organized “PR” campaign. The advantage of the South’s efforts was improvement of morale for the troops, foreign support, and more importantly popular support.

However, Francis Lieber and the “Loyal Publication Society” changed all that. Who was Francis Lieber? On the grand scheme of important people of the times, no one special. But Francis had an undying loyalty to the Union. Go read Kat’s post and see the impact just one person can have in a nation at war through the “free press.” Then read about how today’s milbloggers compare with the spirit and determination of Francis Lieber. This is one of the best posts I have read in a while and I think you will enjoy it also!

Take time to read the entire post. Francis Lieber has another distinction of world wide significance that I found astounding. I did not learn any of this in my High School or College History Courses. Sadly and unfortunately, Lieber wasn’t even mentioned. But, his other contribution had a world wide impact still felt to this day! Read about the “Lieber Code!”

Bring Back the Milblogs

•February 4, 2008 • 2 Comments

I found a very interesting post yesterday at Milblogging.com called Milblog Buzz – Top General: Let Soldiers Blog. It seems that at least one high level military type, Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell, IV, Commanding General of the Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, believes that the troops should be “allowed” to blog. According to the General, we are losing the information war. Milbloggers provide the American public and peoples around the world a first hand accounting of what war is all about from a soldier’s perspective, are we winning or losing, what’s it like to be away from home, what’s it like to fight, and news the media won’t provide. The enemy has long capitalized on this tool or tactic!

Though many will disagree, I think the milbloggers also can help the cause of preventing the need for war. When our troops write about supplying shoes, clothes, schools, school material, toys, candy, soccer balls, we get another picture of our troops and the other coalition forces. When they write about accepting tea with an Iraqi family or providing medical care to an Afghan family, other people in those countries see this and see another side of our troops. They see that we aren’t there to conquer them; but, to help them. They see the troops taking time to learn the local customs and showing respect for their customs. Trust can be built and nations can see that they can be helped by others without fear of conquest.

But, the blogs do more than update us on the status of the war. They do more than provide us a view of the customs and culture of the region. They also allow the troops a means of staying connected with family and friends. They provide a support network through their readers. They provide a coping mechanism for dealing with the horrors and trauma of war. In one case I personally know of, a suicidal soldier with PTSD was able to be helped. He wasn’t aware of his problem and his unit hadn’t picked it up yet. A blog reader did recognize his situation.

Small Wars Journal has a copy of the General’s essay, Changing the Organizational Culture (Updated) in which he writes in detail why he feels we need to allow our troops to Blog. He also discusses the importance of rebutting the terrorists information war. The war effort is greatly hampered by a failure on our part to fight the war on all fronts. This is an excellent presentation by the General. It covers all sides and presents an irrefutable case for stepping up our information war and just how important a role the milblogs play in that role. There is also a detailed synopsis for how to allow the troops to blog and still meet Security demands. Here is a small excerpt:

Frontier 6:

The public may have an appetite for the sensational, but when it comes to their men and women in uniform, they also have a very strong desire to hear their personal stories. They want to know what it is like, what the Soldiers are experiencing, and how the Soldiers feel about their mission. That is why we must encourage our Soldiers to interact with the media, to get onto blogs and to send their YouTube videos to their friends and family. When our Soldiers tell/share their stories, it has an overwhelmingly positive effect.

[Frontier 6 is Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell, IV, Commanding General of the Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas]

Today Wired also reports, Top General: Let Soldiers Blog. Apparently, bloggers are picking up on the General’s remarks. I know, for me, that the war has begun to feel like an event removed from me. Between no news or negative media coverage, I find it hard to stay connected with the war. Though I am an avid blogger and a strong supporter of the troops, the war, and the President, lack of information, progress, failures, any real news, make the war almost seem like a dream, give it an unreal quality!

I hope the Pentagon listens to the General. Go read exactly what he wrote. I believe you will like what he has to say. Then pass the word around. Let’s let the Pentagon and the other hi-level military officials know we support General Caldwell. Bring back the Milblogs!!!

Vietnam Vet loses Arm for Second Time- Please Help!!

•February 2, 2008 • 7 Comments

From Brat at Tanker Brothers comes this URGENT APPEAL which I received by email. Please read it then pass it on asap!


Vietnam Veteran loses Arm for Second Time

Vietnam Veteran Mitch Robertson and his wife Vickie left their home in Montebello, Virginia for their vacation in Destin, Florida. On their way they stopped in Gaffney, South Carolina at a hotel for the night. When they woke up their vacation had turned bad.

Mitch and Vickie went out to their car and found that someone had broken in and stolen their bags. In one of those bags was a Prosthetic Arm that helped give Mitch his freedom.

Mitch had lost his entire left arm when his helicopter crashed in Vietnam. The prosthetic arm that was stolen is a bionic model that was made specifically for Mitch. Mitch not only has lost his arm but is also slowly dying from Agent Orange. The new bionic arm gave him hope that his remaining years would be easier and that it would give him the freedom to do things he hasn’t done in 38 years.

Mitch put out a plea saying that who ever broke into his vehicle can keep his suitcase full of clothes and even the electronics that he had in there for his boat but please give him back his arm.

Our own Lori Tucker, SouthEast Regional Manager for the VA Team contacted Mitch and Vickie today. Lori asked Vickie what can Soldiers’ Angels do to help. Vickie’s response: For right now please just help us get the word out.

So to help this Veteran get his freedom back I’m posting this.

Here is some information on how to spot the bag:
-The arm is in a black and yellow duffell bag
-MHC Prosthetics is written on the bag
-the charger in the bag has the phone number of the company who made the arm

Here is the link to the video from Channel 7.

Should you have a question or want to help please feel free to contact me at flctlva@gmail.com

From the “Strategy Page”

•February 1, 2008 • 2 Comments

The other day I came across a site called the Strategy Page. The site does a good job of tracking events of interest to both the public and the milblogging community. I linked to one the other day about the rift building between Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Here are a couple good ones I found there today:

  • “Down In The Hole”: Our troops now have somewhat immediate access to news and events back home. This is unprecedented. It wasn’t the case before in any previous war! Correspondence previously took weeks, even months. This has created a problem for reporters. Whether they or their editor back home unfairly or untruthfully turned a story into a negative reflection of the troops or the war effort, the reporters in the field must deal with the consequences of the media’s failure to report factual occurrences and events.

    “New reporters have come to expect that whatever inaccurate military reporting they have done in the past, will be quickly known by any troops they interview. You can’t hide from Google.”

  • “Anbar Disappoints”: You have served a tour in Anbar. Fought darn hard for every inch of success. Many of your buddies have died. Now you’re back for another tour. As a seasoned soldier used to constant attacks of one type or another, it is hard to remember to be ever vigilant at all times when things are so quiet. But, what about the new soldier, untried, primed for battle, eager to earn that sacred symbol of your of your combat efforts.

    “For years, marines associated Anbar with war, but now it’s just another quiet patch of desert.

You can read the rest of these two posts at their respective links. I must say, I knew things were improving in Iraq’s hot spots; but, I had no idea they had improved so much.

To all our troops, thank you. Your efforts and sacrifices are not unseen by all! We are so “damn proud” of you all!!

Semper Fi!

MOST FAMOUS MILITARY DOG IN AMERICA

•February 1, 2008 • 2 Comments

Stacey at Keep My Soldier Safe, a/k/a G.R.I.T.S. reports on an upcoming honor for the MOST FAMOUS MILITARY DOG IN AMERICA. I recently wrote a post about Lex. Lex was stationed in Iraq with his handler, Marine Cpl. Dustin Lee, when he was injured and Cpl. Lee was killed in performance of their duties clearing explosive devices. Cpl. Lee’s family later petitioned the USMC successfully and was allowed to adopt Lex.

This month Lex will be awarded a special award at a Tribute Ceremony for wounded or killed K-9’s and their wounded or killed Marine partners at Eglin Air Force Base. Please go to the link up top and read Stacey’s post for further information.

Dissension in the Taliban Leadership Ranks – Music to My Ears

•January 26, 2008 • 1 Comment

Strategy Page has a very interesting post on their site. The post, “Taliban Troubles Escalate” reports that there is a rift developing within the Taliban. Apparently there is also a problem with Taliban relations with Al-Qaeda.

Mullah Omar is at the center of a power struggle to regain control of Afghanistan. This is suspected to have led to some truces along the Pakistani border. While allowing the Taliban to focus on Afghanistan, this action goes against Al-Qaeda goals. Also, when Omar “sacked” Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, he further affected the rift between the Taliban and Al-Qaeda because of Mehsud’s ties to Al-Qaeda. As if that wasn’t problem enough, Mehsud’s followers won’t recognize Omar’s replacement. Mehsud is also wanted for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Still there is another wrinkle in the Taliban-A-Qaeda soap opera. Senior members of both are men hardened by the War with Russia. They fought for a “grander” cause. The younger members coming along seem to be caught up more in the monetary side of things. It seems the younger members are more concerned with the wealth to be made from the Afghanistan Heroin trade.

Isn’t it amazing how even the righteous can be swept away by greed or the almighty dollar??

This is just a brief review of the article. You can read the entire post at the link up top.

As the dominoes fall across Europe and elsewhere, will America be the next nation to fall victim to “Islamization”?

This is such an important issue I am again reprinting Indigo Red’s post about radical Islam’s plans for America, their “TWENTY-YEAR PLAN FOR USA – ISLAM TARGETS AMERICA”.

Islam’s 20 Year Plan to Conquer America

Thanks to Always on Watch and Mike’s America for bringing this piece to our attention again. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the seeming importance of being shot by the Vice-President of the United States, we tend to forget the truly important.

There is a plan in Islam to take control of America by 2020 AD. That’s only 14 years in the very near future and the bad guys have a headstart. To counter the plan, we must know the plan absolutely and without blindness. The plan of the Third Reich was spelled out for us and the plan was ignored. Communists spelled out their plan for us and the plan was ignored. Islam is spelling out their plan and we cannot ignore any part of it.

In December 2002, Dr. Anis Shorrosh, wrote the following article. “Please feel free to share the material with everybody and anybody you wish in the hopes that it will open the eyes of Christians and Muslims alike.”
Read it if you dare and see if this is not exactly what is happening in America and elsewhere in the free world. Remember, America is considered the “last” super power in the way of the goals of these “Radical Islamics”!

TWENTY-YEAR PLAN FOR USA
ISLAM TARGETS AMERICA

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American’s religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, “Abed.”

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – the black gold. America’s economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, “foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un-American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:
a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)
b. No birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.
c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.
d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far – sleeping cells!

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish “Centers for Islamic studies” with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have high-jacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam high-jacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America’s high schools–free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America’s sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American’s justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

We must not ignore this war being waged by Radical Islam. It is a war against Christianity and any other religion of peoples and nations worldwide. These fanatics are playing for keeps! They are both determined and patient in their efforts in order to succeed in their goals for a new worldwide caliphate and Islamic domination! Only a fool would ignore the facts as they are occurring all over the world; especially in Western nations.
Are we Americans up to the challenge? Or, will we, too, allow these fanatics to chip away at our rights, way of life, freedoms, and Constitution, and win their war of “Islamization” of the non-Muslim world succeed?

Is we fail to defend ourselves and our nation, we are a shameful blight on the memory and struggles of our forefathers who established this great, free nation!! Shame on us all!

Will this be our legacy,

this,

or ny all time favorite, this

or will this be our legacy,

We must decide now, before it is too late, if it is not already too late!!??

Will Radical Islam be allowed to follow in the footsteps of Adolph Hitler’s march across Europe unimpeded?

•January 24, 2008 • 4 Comments

I wrote a post the other day about a British Blogger, Lionheart, who is being arrested upon his return home to Britain under a law enacted to prevent racial and religious “hate crimes” in Britain! Brat over at Tanker Brothers has a great post about Lionheart and two other incidents of free speech violations in two other countries, Canada and Afghanistan, which relate directly to the radical Islamic effort to force their religion and laws into nations all over the world in their “march” toward the “Islamazation of the World!”

Not since Hitler advanced across Europe in conquest after conquest in the face of European “appeasement” has the world faced such an insidious threat to world freedom and peace!

America has always welcomed immigrants. But, America has not always allowed those immigrants to attack the very core of our society and Constitutional rights as it is doing now! America is another example of a nation’s soldiers fighting and dying to preserve freedom and democracy in the world’s nations while the “homefront” sits on its arse and gives away “their” nation’s freedom!!

Go read Brat’s post, Freedom of Speech? Not so Much to see where we are headed if we do not wakeup and stop these zealots in America and elsewhere!!!
