Iwo Jima’s Marines: still showing today’s “youth voters” what the real price of freedom is
....................................................................................................
February 19, 2014 By Kevin Collins


In the summer of 1965 Marine Corps Boot camp training included the boast “If it weren’t for the Marine Corps you’d be speaking Japanese.” It was true then and it is still true today.

Sixty nine years ago waves and waves of eighteen and nineteen year old Marines, waded ashore on Iwo Jima to defeat the Japanese and help win the war in the Pacific on American terms. They fought to keep us from being the slaves of the Japanese and being forced to end up “speaking Japanese.”

By mid- February 1945 Franklin Roosevelt knew Americans were running out of patience and money for the war against a country thousands of miles away and on its last legs anyway.

Some thought we should make peace with the Japanese and cut our losses. The only resource America had left was a Marine Corps largely filled with tough determined teenagers. They were leaders in their communities. They were from big cities and tiny towns. They were a generation of Americans that understood it had to “put aside childish ways” man-up and fight. They were ordinary men who had to face a great challenge and win because they were all America had left.

Today those young Marines are grandfathers and great-grandfathers, but they are still standing up to defend American freedoms. Unlike their foolish grandchildren who voted for Barack Obama the men who hit the beach that day don’t support Obama and never have.

At nineteen they were wiser than most of their grandchildren ever will be. They didn’t act on emotion; they had no time for anything but reality. Their hope and change was hoping to go home alive not whining about how terrible things were.

If you meet a Marine Iwo Jima veteran, greet him with a grateful smile. Because of him and so many others you don’t “speak Japanese.”

Unfortunately Iwo Jima is ancient history to today’s “youth voters,” and we won’t hear much about Iwo Jima today. To the politically correct media it’s also “ ancient history.” There will be a few stories about how small groups of old Marines have gathered to mark the day, but probably not much more. These days the Japanese are one of our largest creditors so we dare not mention their barbarous conduct during World War II.

The 19 year olds of Feb. 19, 1945 that are still with us are all over 88 now but there are fewer of them each year.

The passing years have not diminished their achievement one bit.

Time moves on and no one knows this better than Iwo Jima’s nineteen year old men, but they still understand the difference between what is real and what is fake. They know our young people have done damage to America beyond what all of our previous enemies could only dream of doing, but they will stand firm anyway.

Mark this day and celebrate the achievements of those brave men. Today they are still trying to give us a chance to live free. Let each one of us resolve to be worthy of the sacrifices made for us at Iwo Jima. Let us cherish the gift they gave us and continue to give us. And let us always use our freedoms wisely.



Aftermath--Battle of Tarawa Pacific atoll

  • When: Nov. 20-23, 1943
  • Where: Tarawa Atoll is part of what then was known as the Gilbert Islands and today is called the Republic of Kiribati. It’s a collection of 32 pancake-flat coral atolls. The battle was fought on the island of Betio, which is 21/2 miles long and just 600 yards at its widest point.
  • Japanese commander Keiji Shibasaki had boasted: “Let the Yankees come. A million men could not take Tarawa in a hundred years.”
  • Battle: Over 76 hours, in some of the fiercest fighting of the war, more than 1,000 Marines and sailors died while taking the island. The numbers of the fallen vary, but Morgan Hill resident Bill Niven, who has spent years trying to find where missing Marines are buried on Tarawa, believes 1,106 Americans died. It has been estimated that half died trying to reach the beach as they waded through a lagoon amid a hail of machine-gun fire and artillery rounds after landing craft became hung up on a coral reef. Of the 3,500 Japanese troops, only 17 survived.

Vet Allegedly Beaten To Death At VA Hospital
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Opposing Views ^ | May 25, 2014 | Sarah Fruchtnicht


A California woman says Veterans Administration hospital guards beat her husband to death after he waited four hours for dialysis.

Norma Montano says her husband of 44 years, Jonathan, died of a stroke on June 11, 2011, after he was beaten and had his carotid artery stomped by VA guards. Montano says the hospital also lied to her about what happened to her husband.

Montano’s son and daughter are also plaintiffs in the suit.

Montano says he husband was tired of waiting, but when he tried to leave and go to another facility, he “was told by the nursing staff not to leave.”

"Jonathan Montano told the nurse that he was leaving and was going to the VA Hospital in Long Beach, California, [and that] he wanted to leave the needle apparatus [a shunt] in his arm, so they wouldn't have to put a new one in at the Long Beach VA Hospital,” the complaint states.

When he insisted on leaving, the staff at the Loma Linda, Calif., facility called VA Police.

"The summoned VA Police Department police officers then stopped Jonathan Montano from leaving the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, by tackling him to the floor, slamming his head on the floor, and kneeing and stomping on his neck, and otherwise brutalizing and restraining him,” the suit says.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CN) - After waiting for 4 hours for dialysis with a shunt in his arm, a veteran told a Veterans Administration hospital he was leaving, whereupon VA police beat the hell out of him and stomped on his carotid artery, giving him a stroke that killed him, and they lied to his wife about it, the widow claims in court.

Norma Montano sued the United States of America in Federal Court, for the death of her husband of 44 years, Jonathan Montano. The Montanos’ son and daughter also are plaintiffs.

The lawsuit comes as veterans hospitals nationwide are under investigation for lying about wait times to which they subjected patients. News reports have not yet linked the long waits to any deaths. Norma Montano does not attribute her husband’s death to the long wait, but to the needless beating.

Jonathan Montano died on June 11, 2011, after VA police brutalized him at the VA hospital in Loma Linda on May 25 that year, his widow claims in the lawsuit.

Jonathan, who was 65, had a shunt put in his arm by the VA hospital staff that day, and waited with his wife for treatment “for approximately four hours, without being treated,” Norma Montano says in the complaint.

“This greatly frustrated Jonathan Montano, who then decided that he didn’t want to wait any longer at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda and decided to leave the hospital and to go to the VA Hospital in Long Beach,” the complaint states.

Jonathan told his wife to get the car to take him to Long Beach. As she went to get it, her husband “was told by the nursing staff not to leave the hospital,” the complaint states.

It continues: “Jonathan Montana told the nurse that he was leaving and was going to the VA Hospital in Long Beach, California, [and that] he wanted to leave the needle apparatus in his arm, so they wouldn’t have to put a new one in at the Long Beach VA Hospital.

“In response to Jonathan Montano’s attempt to leave the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, California, the nursing staff called VA Police Department to stop Jonathan Montano from leaving the hospital.

“The summoned VA Police Department police officers then stopped Jonathan Montano from leaving the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, by tackling him to the floor, slamming his head on the floor, and kneeing and stomping on his neck, and otherwise brutalizing and restraining him.

“This kneeing and stomping on his neck by the VA Police Department police officers caused the dissection of his carotid artery, that resulted in immediate (or very soon thereafter) blood clotting, which resulted in [his] suffering a stroke. Moreover, the brutalization of Jonathan Montano resulted in him suffering other serious physical injuries, and associated physical, mental and emotional pain, suffering and distress.” (Parentheses in complaint.)

Norma Montano, wondering why her husband had not come to the car, went inside to look for him. Inside the hospital, she says, “she was told by a member of the nursing staff that Jonathan Montano suffered a stroke,” and was in the emergency department.

When she sought him there, “she was told by the emergency room doctor that her husband had fallen down and suffered a stroke, an untrue statement,” she says in the complaint.

It continues: “Later on, one of the nurses at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda took Norma Montano aside, and told her that her husband didn’t fall, but was slammed to the ground by the VA Police, that Norma Montano was being lied to, and that it wasn’t right what the VA Police did to Jonathan Montano.

“On June 11, 2011, Jonathan Montano died from the stroke(s) that he suffered from being slammed to the floor and having his neck stomped on / pinned to the floor at the VA Hospital in Loma Linda on May 25, 2011.”

She claims the VA police brutalized her husband without any reasonable suspicion that there was “criminality afoot” or that he had committed a crime.

She seeks damages and punitive damages for wrongful death, assault and battery, false imprisonment, constitutional violations, negligence, loss of consortium and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Disturbing, that but for one honest nurse, the widow might not have known what had happened to her husband.

The other medical staff were perfectly willing to lie.

.

That there have not been indictments and arrests of everyone involved, especially the medical staff who started it all and then lied to the victim’s wife’s face is all the evidence you need that these acts are approved and endorsed at the highest level of government. Obamacare is the expansion of this brutality to the general citizenry.

I’ll leave it to others to determine which Amendment provides the appropriate remedy.

'No Safer Place for a Criminal Than Inside the Obama Administration'
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
"Congress should throw it to the people -- they should allow us to sue members of the Obama administration."


6.26.2014 by Trey Sanchez
truthrevolt.org



On Wednesday, TruthRevolt founder Ben Shapiro appeared on Fox Business Network and spoke with Lou Dobbs about his new book The People vs. Barack Obama: The Criminal Case Against the Obama Administration and made the case that American citizens are the best defense against a corrupt president.

Shapiro plainly stated that Congress should transfer the power back to the people, allowing citizens to bring lawsuits against specific members of a corrupt administration, especially in light of the fact that the Supreme Court does not typically involve itself in disputes between the different branches of government. He stated:

What Congress ought to do, and the case that I make in 'The People vs. Barack Obama,' is that essentially, Congress should throw it to the people -- they should allow us to sue members of the Obama administration. They should expand the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act of 1970 and they should allow us to seek liability from members of the Obama administration for actions that they take that damage us.

Using the recent success in the lawsuit where the National Organization for Marriage sued a gay rights group and won, Shapiro insisted that private lawsuits are the only vehicles to achieve results. "I don't think that Congress is going to be able to get anywhere unless they were to actually use their impeachment power which, of course, they won't," he said.

Dobbs asked, "How would a private court be able to compel this president to actually do his job with honor and with duty?" Shapiro responded:

No one is going to be able to compel President Obama to do his job with honor and duty. He's incapable of that. But I do think that what you could see is private lawsuits directed at particular members of the administration and those people being punished for the actions that they take. For example, President Clinton was forced to go in and testify in the Paula Jones lawsuit. You can see that happen with the president of the United States depending on whether the courts would allow that sort of thing and whether the legislation would broaden the scope of such lawsuits. So the big question is, do we want the president to get dragged into court on a fairly regular basis? Do we want his officers to be dragged into court on a fairly regular basis? Now that we're living in what amounts to an elected dictatorship, I think the answer is probably yes.

Shapiro helped Dobbs realize the " Mafia-esque" business model of the Obama administration, explaining that the currency of this presidency is bribery:

There's no question that bribery is endemic to the administration -- everything from the Solyndra case, to the distribution of funding under the stimulus package -- all of that falls under the rubric of bribery. But the real case that I make against this administration in large scale in the book, is that this is basically a mafia-like organization. This is an organization where the president of the United States can sit up top, he can issue vague commands and somebody low down on the chain will pick those up and run with them. That's exactly what we've seen, for example, with the IRS. I don't believe that every conspiracy needs a smoking gun. I think that what you will have much more commonly is the president issuing blanket kind of statements about the way the world should be in and magically -- the people who work for him take up the cause and proceed to make the world conform to what he wishes it were.

Dobbs ran with the idea that if President Obama is essentially the head of a so-called criminal enterprise. "Why would impeachment not be the correct course?" Dobbs asked. Shapiro explained exactly why impeachment would not work, even though it is a great idea:

Impeachment would not be a terrible idea except that it's not going to go anywhere in the Senate. The real reason impeachment wouldn't do anything is because you have an Executive Branch that has consistently grown for the last seven years and now has three million employees. Let's say President Obama went away tomorrow and Joe Biden suddenly took up the reins. That wouldn't solve the problem of corruption within the EPA, within the VA, within the IRS. It wouldn't solve the general problem you have within a massive Executive Branch that they can do whatever they want and nobody can stop them. The only way that you're going to be able to stop them is, number one, by slicing the tremendous size and scope of the Executive Branch and number two, by forcing people in the Executive Branch to be held responsible for their criminality.

There is no safer place to be on the planet right now, if you are a criminal, than inside the Obama administration.

Obama Suffers 12th Unanimous Defeat at Supreme Court
.....................................................................................................
By Joel Gehrke June 26, 2014


President Obama’s team suffered their twelfth unanimous defeat at the Supreme Court in the legal challenge to the so-called recess appointments made when Congress was not actually in recess, a string of defeats that only represents “the tip of the iceberg,” according to Senator Mike Lee (R., Utah).

“Not every case in which the president has exceeded his authority has made it all the way to the Supreme Court,” Lee, a former law clerk to Justice Samuel Alito, told National Review Online. “The fact that his track record is as bad as it is in the Supreme Court . . . is yet another indication of the fact that we’ve got a president who is playing fast and loose with the Constitution.”

Senator Ted Cruz (R., Texas), in arguing that Obama is “lawless,” has kept a tally of the president’s unanimous defeats. ”This marks the twelfth time since January 2012 that the Supreme Court has unanimously rejected the Obama administration’s calls for greater federal executive power,” he pointed out after the release of the recess-appointments ruling.

Cruz issued a report on Obama’s unanimous defeats when the total sat at nine. “If the Department of Justice had won these cases, the federal government would be able to electronically track all of our movements, fine us without a fair hearing, dictate who churches choose as ministers, displace state laws based on the president’s whims, bring debilitating lawsuits against individuals based on events that occurred years ago, and destroy a person’s private property without just compensation,” Cruz wrote in April 2013.

“When President Obama’s own Supreme Court nominees join their colleagues in unanimously rejecting the administration’s call for broader federal power nine times in 18 months, the inescapable conclusion is that the Obama administration’s view of federal power knows virtually no bounds,” he concluded.

Why is the Obama Admin involved in Illegal Child Trafficking?
....................................................................................................

Obama is using the Federal government to transport children all over this country. Our elected officials are being denied any access to the children. It looks like they are dropping the illegal adults off all over the country to be homeless on our streets, but what about the children?

We don't know if the children (and adults) have communicable diseases.

We don't know who the government is handing the children off to. Are the children going to family members or child traffickers. Who decides who are family members, since most of the families are illegals we don't have records on them.

Some of these children are too young to know who or where their families are? Where are they going?

Some children have said that they want to go home. What about these children?

Where are the records on what's happening to these children? Where is the list of names? They should be fingerprinted and DNA taken to find out who they are. The same with the families, where are the list of names of those claiming to be family. They should be fingerprinted and DNA taken.

Why are we allowing the Federal government to commit crimes against children? They need to set up orphanages and camps until all these children can be sorted out and not dumped all over America. Many of them can be sent back to their country of origin. This is outrageous. Who are we giving these children to? It seems that it would be easy for these children to fall victim to child traffickers.

Where is Congress on this violation of basic human rights.

Whistleblower alleges VA benefit application purge
..................................................................................

The Associated Press June 29, 2014
ajc.com

ATLANTA —

Federal investigators are probing a whistleblower's allegations that applications for veterans seeking health care benefits may have been improperly purged from the VA's Health Eligibility Center in suburban Atlanta.

Eligibility Center program specialist Scott Davis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://bit.ly/1ofvEoR) that health benefit applications for more than 10,000 veterans may have been improperly purged from the Health Eligibility Center's national data system in DeKalb County.

The center doesn't process all applications, but helps manage the national enrollment computer system and offers enrollment guidance for VA hospitals across the country.

Davis, who joined the VA in April of 2011, began filing complaints in January and said managers were focused on meeting goals linked to the Affordable Care Act to meet their bonus targets. He also asked the VA's Office of the Inspector General to investigate the potential mishandling of a $5 million federal contract.

"We don't discuss veterans," Davis told the newspaper. "We do not work for veterans. That is something that I learned after working there. Our customer is the VA central office, the White House and the Congress. The veterans are not our priority. So whatever the initiatives are or the big ticket items that is what we focus on."

Davis said the VA placed him on paid administrative leave after he filed the complaints, and he cited stress as factor in taking medical leave in mid-June.

Local VA spokeswoman Floretta Hardmon said the organization takes the allegations seriously and officials are cooperating with investigators.

Officials in the VA Office of the Inspector General wouldn't discuss details of the investigation, but spokeswoman Catherine Gromek said the office has received many allegations about the Health Eligibility Center.

"They are under review and we will report out when the work is complete," she said.
