White House Potemkin Villages




[From article]
It may take only one veto over-ride to bring down all of Obama’s initiatives; it depends mainly on coalitions forming among angry Democrat senators.

But it’s not a done deal; Congress has not seen all of the secret side-agreements
[. . .]
India has already announced a doubling of its domestic coal production by 2020. Even Germany is forced to build new coal-fired power plants, while the US has closed nearly half its coal capacity in order to comply with ever-stringent EPA regs.

they produce promises that the WH can brag about in Paris.

most of the States have decided to sue EPA,

Obama’s war on coal is progressing.
[. . .]
To satisfy the EPA quotas, coal-fired plants must shut down and be replaced with unreliable solar and wind.
[. . .]
All published calculations suggest that the US cost of electric power will quadruple.
Obama’s single-minded irrational war on fossil fuels could activate Democrat senators from the Rockies to the Appalachians and cause them to oppose him also on other policies, like Iran and Paris.

Is Obama Really An Empty Suit, A Potemkin President?


[From article]
Press Secretary Josh Earnest claimed that the tweets were issued by Organizing For America (OFA) independent of the White House. Though the twitter handle is @BarackObama, the White House claims no responsibility or accountability, for the tweets.
However, he did not offer any explanation as to why an "independent" organization can tweet in Barack Obama's name or how this can occur without input and permission from the president's political team, nor did he or anyone else officially associated with the president or the White House express objection to the OFA tweet.

Small Group Of Fanatics Are Dangerous, e.g., Nazis Were Initially Ignored Today It is a Small Group of Violent Muslims



[From article]
“Very few people were true Nazis,” he said, “but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, and we had lost control, and the end of the world had come. My family lost everything. I ended up in a concentration camp and the Allies destroyed my factories.”
We are told again and again by experts and talking heads that Islam is the religion of peace, and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unquantified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the specter of fanatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.
The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars world wide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic 

wave.http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/6996#.U4aJn175j0A

Fake "grassroots" groups have started springing up like toadstools after a rain, and this time they're coming at us from every angle: they're on TV, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube: "Americans for Prosperity," "FACES of Coal," The "Coalition to Protect Patients' Rights," "Americans Against Food Taxes," the "60 Plus Association," "Citizens for Better Medicare," "Patients First" ...it's making our heads spin! Issues affecting some of the country's biggest industries, like health insurance reform, a proposal to tax sodas and sugary drinks, and the FDA's possible reconsideration of the plastic additive Bisphenol A, have boosted corporate astroturfing up to a dizzying pace. With all these corporate fronts coming out of the woodwork, how can citizens tell true grassroots organizations from corporate fronts operated by highly-paid PR and lobbying firms? Here are some tips to help readers spot this kind of big-business hanky-panky.
