Network TV Blackout on Obama’s Amnesty Address: ............................................................. SHTFplan ^ \| November 19 2014 \| Mac Slavo Thursday evening will mark a momentous announcement from President Obama concerning his hugely controversial executive order to “shield” and otherwise legalize millions of ‘undocumented’ illegal immigrants living in the United States. But is this tide turning presidential address scheduled to be carried live on TV for all the country to witness? No. It seems that the big four networks – ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox – have all opted out of broadcasting the 15 minute speech, instead airing their November sweeps shows as scheduled in hopes of maximizing viewer ratings: (Excerpt) Read more at shtfplan.com ...

Terrance Bean (Obama bundler) Arrested for Raping 15-Year-Old Boy ........................................................ by Steven Ertelt \| Portland, OR \| LifeNews.com \| lifenews.com A nationally-known pro-abortion activist has been arrested on charges of raping a 15-year-old boy. Terrance Patrick Bean is the founder of Human Rights Campaign, a group that pushes other political issues but also takes a steadfastly pro-abortion position. Human Rights Campaign, in addition to advancing abortion, has also lobbied Congress to end all federal funding for abstinence education, and hailed one piece of legislation that cut off funding because it “would end abstinence-only-until-marriage programs once and for all.” Bean is also a prominent supporter of pro-abortion President Barack Obama. The Portland Oregonian newspaper reports that “Detectives from the Portland police Sex Crimes Unit arrested Portland developer Terrence Patrick Bean on Wednesday on a Lane County indictment stemming from alleged sex abuse involving a teenage boy in 2013.” Bean was arrested at his home in Southwest Portland and booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center yesterday morning. Here’s more: The indictment charges Bean with two counts of third-degree sodomy, a felony, and one count of third-degree sex abuse, a misdemeanor, police said. Bean, who bailed out of jail by late Wednesday afternoon, will be arraigned on the indictment in Lane County. Detectives in Portland’s Sex Crime Unit are the lead investigators in the case and have been working closely with the Clackamas County and Lane County district attorneys’ offices. The alleged incident involved a sexual encounter in Eugene with a 15-year-old boy. Another person alleged to have been involved in that encounter is also expected to face arrest as part of the indictment. “The investigation began in Portland, but the criminal episode occurred in Lane County,” said police spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson. Lane County Chief Deputy District Attorney Patricia Perlow declined to release any information about the case or the indictment. Bean has been one of the state’s biggest Democratic donors and an influential figure in gay rights circles in the state. He helped found two major national political groups, the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, and has been a major contributor for several Democratic presidential candidates, including Barack Obama. He’s also a close friend of former Gov. Barbara Roberts. Bean’s Flickr account shows him talking with Obama at several events, posing with first lady Michelle Obama and numerous other political figures, including former President Bill Clinton.

>> What do you think about Turley's claim that Bush is a war criminal? You never answered that question. I was never asked the question. But I disagree fundamentally with Turley's opinion -- not a legal opinion, but his personal opinion, that waterboarding is torture. If I believed that waterboarding was torture I might be able to make the leap to war crimes. But I don't. I understand his legal opinion that we (the US) established that waterboard was torture under the law. However, the limiting waterboarding that was conducted on three people during the war on terror posed no threat to the life of any of the terrorists in that it was done under supervision. And, we could have just done as was done with bin Laden, and shot them dead. I have no problem with the three individuals who were waterboarded receiving that treatment. I should also say that Turley has expressed that he believes Barack Obama has significantly escalated the threat to our democracy from where Bush left it.
