Obama snoops part 2: infiltrate, target, harass churches

On Thursday the Examiner provided an exclusive report indicating that the Obama administration had implemented a covert program beginning in 2009 that was intended to spy on conservative, evangelical Christian churches.

That program involved infiltration -- sending in government operatives to join churches for the purpose of data collection. The government snoops would keep their eyes and ears open for criticism of the Obama administration, talk of Tea Party participation, conversations about gun ownership, and a number of other issues.

But a special report issued today by Fox News indicates that the program went far beyond infiltration and snooping.

Exclusive: Obama snoops infiltrate Christian churches

Speaking on condition of anonymity, sources have told The Examiner that the Obama administration has engaged in a top secret, highly classified program of infiltrating Christian churches in order to snoop on their activities.

The information disclosed involves a program that has been in place since 2009, after Obama took office. An informant told the Examiner at that time that something covert involving the churches was being implemented but that the information needed to be kept secret until the appropriate time, presumably when some of the heat was off.

Something to think about...

I hate to engage in unabashed self-promotion, but since nobody is going to do this for me, I am forced to do it myself.

For the past two months readership at the Examiner has plummeted. That has effected nearly all of the writers, such as myself. It seems that overnight, all my readers, or most of them, took a hike. The reason, I am told, are the endless pop up ads on the site.

I know that the ads are aggravating. I have often said the same thing myself. But writers have nothing whatsoever to do with that. Such decisions are made much further up the chain than the lowly writers.

And I use the term "lowly" for a reason. None of us make much money, especially not the political writers. And it does not matter how "good" we are or how well we write. Unless we are able to somehow drag enough readers to the site through our own efforts at self-promotion, then no amount of talent, or skill, or eloquence can produce one penny of pay.

To be blunt, no writer should have to engage in that kind of endless daily grind of self-promotion. But that is the price we must pay for getting our stuff out there, that is, when there are enough readers to read it. Without a significant number of readers, the pay is near zilch, and you can't pay bills or buy a can of beans with zilch.

Now, we writers have complained to high heaven to the powers that be at Examiner over their ill-fated decisions. Believe me, that process has not been pleasant. But much of the time, especially when it comes to pop up ads, complaints do no good whatsoever.

And when you, the readers, decide to take a hike because of your ire over the ads, you wind up hurting the writers the most, the very ones who make the least amount of money in the organization.

I don't get paid unless people actually go to the Examiner site to read my articles. I put in way too much time to write quality stuff only to get paid mere pennies.

One day this week I made all of $2 bucks. Another day I made $4 bucks. Pay has not been this dismal since I first started in 2009. No writer worth his salt should make any less than $50 bucks for an article.

I've thought about hanging it up and leaving altogether. But I need the money, though I make only enough to eat dog food. It is better than eating nothing at all.

Surely there are those of you out there who still believe in American entrepreneurship, a man working for himself, long hours I might add, to make a living by his own wits. It costs you nothing to click on the link that takes you to my page at the Examiner site each day.

One click by your finger each day. Is that asking too much?

Now, if you think I am a shoddy writer who has no talent or skill, then just say so and be done with it. But I don't really believe most of you feel that way.

If, on the other hand, you appreciate my point of view, my voice, my take on the issues, then can you help? Remember, lifting one tiny finger to click on a link is not really asking a whole lot.

Something to think about. Thanks.

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup for 6/11/2013


Mike Vanderboegh declares that the fuse has been lit and that one way or another revolution is coming -- seven critical points on Uncle Sam's spying program.

Stand Up America has highly damaging information on scandal at Hillary Clinton's State Department. I am hearing this stuff may well crush any presidential chances she has.

Roberta X calls our attention to annoying anti-gunners in Indy.

David Codrea reports that Republicans failed to bring up B. Todd Jones' criminal activity in Fast and Furious at the hearings for his confirmation for director of the ATF...which is one of the many reasons I am fed up to the hilt with both Parties, with the exception of a tiny handful. The overwhelming majority cannot be trusted to do the right thing, including Republicans.

Around O-Town notes that Dianne Feinstein simply could not resist opening her trap about the whistleblower, Edward Snowden, whom she considers to be a traitor.

Pamela Geller provides a stinging report on Obama's outreach to radical Muslims.

Kurt Hofmann reports explosive news that the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence says that the oath to uphold the Constitution is treason. What a bunch of worthless low-lives.

Gateway Pundit says that despite its massive data collection on multimillions of American citizens, the Obama Administration cannot find or keep up with 6 million illegal aliens. Oh, and by the way, regarding the new "immigration reform" bill, I am now at odds with Marco Rubio and Rand Paul. If the buffoons in Congress keep on, there will soon be ZERO I have any use for. Let's hope Ted Cruz remains true.

Golden Geese News lists all of the pertinent reasons why the government program of collecting information on millions of citizens IS a very big deal...and a dangerous one.

WRSA tells us why NSA snooping is probably much worse than what we've been told.

Karl Denninger states what I have been thinking for years -- National Intelligence Director James Clapper needs to be thrown into the crapper.

Way Up North posts the must-read quote of the day.

Traction Control wonders what scandal is being covered up by the plethora of scandals that are being talked about publicly.

The Wandering Minstrel has info on a lawsuit challenging the new microstamping law in California.

From Standing By: "The NSA and the 4th Amendment." Important!

The Twisters want to know where our common sense has gone. I have the same question. I think America, by and large, has gone slap-raving nuts. Look their examples.

Blonde Sagacity muses on the political ideology of the chilling figure from Biblical prophesy commonly called "the AntiChrist."

1 With a Bullet provides a range report as he introduces a new shooter to guns and gun safety. 

The Smallest Minority tells Barack Obama, "I don't like your face, Obama, either one of them!" He then launches into an example of the duplicity of the president. Very telling.

A Geek with Guns discusses the cultural deterioration of American society. A must read.

Surprising support for prosecution of Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden, the man who leaked secret information concerning a massive, covert program of government snooping on millions of citizens, has fled from public view. The level of support citizens express for the prosecution of Snowden is surprising.

Several news polls found that over 50 percent of those surveyed believe that Snowden should be charged with crimes for not only accessing top government secrets but disclosing them to the public.

And a Washington Post/Pew Research Poll found that 56 percent of Americans support routine government snooping into phone calls and other such surveillance methods.

America falls

Regardless of how Americans view Glenn Beck as a commentator, one cannot argue with one momentous fact -- in 2008 following the election of Barack Obama, Beck stated that within four years citizens would not recognize America as it stood prior to the 2008 election.

There is no disputing the fact that Beck was right.

America is a totally different place that it was a mere four years ago, to the point that many citizens do not recognize their own country anymore.

The Gun Rights and Liberty News Roundup for 6/10/2013


Mike Vanderboegh posts the full text of his momentous speech at the freedom gathering in Temple, Texas. Go read it.

David Codrea says that the anti-gun bigots are doing one of the things they do best--exploit mistakes and tragedies to spread the gun control propaganda.

Kurt Hofmann declares that "perhaps a modest invasion of privacy should be met with a modest regime change." Hear, hear!

WRSA points to essential reading on the treasonous acts of progressives.

Way Up North has some political news coming out of Alaska.

The War on Guns notes that Kurt Hofmann has joined Mike Vanderboegh on the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence's black list of "domestic terrorists and insurrectionists." Actually, it is quite an honor to be on the list. The clowns at CSGV think the Framers were terrorists, too, if one uses their criteria as the benchmark.

Nicki traces the illogic of official explanations given by Obamanoids concerning the snooping on 100 million Americans in, "So let's say it was a mistake."

Standing By is convinced government snoops are reading his blog and millions of others as well. Here he has a run-down on the facts as we know them presently.

I could not pass this up, although Memorial Day has come and gone. John Jacob H posted what is perhaps one of the two greatest speeches given in modern U.S. history -- President Ronald Reagan's address at Pointe du Hoc to commemorate the 40th anniversary of D-Day. The other historic speech of note, also given by Dutch, is the famous Berlin Wall speech upon the fall of the Soviet Union. I can't listen to either one without tears.

Tam comments on the latest person to violate the "No Guns Allowed" mandate in California.

Gun Owners of America is promoting its new movie, "Agenda: Grinding America Down." For a limited time you can watch it free at the link.

Karl Denninger provides THE definitive explanation of why all of this government snooping is NOT about protecting us from terrorism! Do NOT believe the government's lies. Read Denninger's piece to find out why.

Michelle Malkin reports that the State Department may have been involved in a series of cover ups. Well, that only makes sense. We know they were involved in Fast and Furious, and covered it up. We know they were involved in Benghazi, and covered it up. There is more smoke pluming out of the Department, so we know that where there is smoke there is fire.

And on the heels of THAT, CLO has THIS bombshell -- the DHS insider has confirmed the real nature of the agency's snooping on Americans.

Days of our Trailers outs the so-called "massive grassroots movement against guns" for the sham that it really is. Their latest "rally" drew all of....4 people.

Around O-Town informs us as to where all of our ammunition went.

Alphecca directs our attention to a thorough analysis of the new NRA president and the issues he faces.
