Obama Gives Away Oil Rich Islands To Russia
Obama Donates 7 Alaska Islands to Putin for $0.
We don't hear about this in the news. What is going on????
This is what our beloved president Obama has done in 2012 for America so far this year. This got very little press to keep it unknown from the American public. Why is he getting away with all of this?
Is there a "REST OF THE STORY"?
This Feb. 16, 2012 article appears in very few places. Apparently, mainstream media consider Obama giving away islands belonging to Alaska as no big deal. Obama is giving these islands to Russia for free, no cost, $0 money or any other consideration. Guess what? The state legislature in Alaska (still one of our 50 states) voted several times in opposition to THE GIVEAWAY! The islands have billions of barrels of OIL and Obama could let oil companies lease parts of the islands and start drilling for MORE OIL!! Should you suspect Obama was trying to sneak this by........? Why?
WorldNetDaily.com <http://worldnetdaily.com//>;. Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime in the Kremlin. The seven islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabed's surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.
The State Department has undertaken the giveaway in the guise of a maritime boundary agreement between Alaska and Siberia. Astoundingly, our federal government itself drew the line to put these seven Alaskan islands on the Russian side. But as an executive agreement, it could be reversed with the stroke of a pen by President Obama or Secretary Clinton. The agreement was negotiated in total secrecy. The state of Alaska was not allowed to participate in the negotiations, nor was the public given any opportunity for comment. This is despite the fact the Alaska Legislature has passed resolutions of opposition - but the State Department doesn't seem to care.
The imperiled Arctic Ocean islands include Wrangel, Bennett, Jeannette and Henrietta. Wrangel became American in 1881 with the landing of the U.S. Revenue Marine ship Thomas Corwin. The landing party included the famed naturalist John Muir. It is 3,000 square miles in size.
Northwest of Wrangel are the DeLong Islands, named for George Washington DeLong, the captain of USS Jeannette. Also in 1881, he discovered and claimed these three islands for the United States. He named them for the voyage co-sponsor, New York City newspaper publisher James Gordon Bennett. The ship's crew received a hero's welcome back in Washington, and Congress awarded them gold medals.
In the Bering Sea at the far west end of the Aleutian chain are Copper Island, Sea Lion Rock and Sea Otter Rock. They were ceded to the U.S. in Seward's 1867 treaty with Russia.
Now is the time for the Obama administration to stand up for U.S. and Alaskan rights and invaluable resources. The State Department's maritime agreement is a loser - it gives us nothing in return for giving up Alaska's sovereign territory and invaluable resources. We won the Cold War and should start acting like it. Also see Link 1,2 below

Lee Iacocca from Chrysler on America the Corporation
LEE IS BACK and he is packing!
Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'.
Lee Iacocca Says: 'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'trust me, the economy is getting better..' Better? You've got to be kidding. This is America , not the damned 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats out, along with Obama!'
You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore..
The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the ' America ' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?
I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)
Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down.
On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand.
We're immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving.. But our soldiers are dying daily.
We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it's getting worse every day!
We've lost the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs.
Gas prices are going to skyrocket again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.
Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegal's amnesty and free healthcare.
The middle class is being squeezed to death every day.
These are times that cry out for leadership.
But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point..
Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo?
We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.
Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that's just crazy.. Deal with life.
Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it!
Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.
I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn't elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change?
Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope - I believe in America .. In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America 's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.
Make your own contribution by sending this to everyone you know and care about. It's our country, folks, and it's our future. Our future is at stake!
"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured...but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
An America Lost The Demise of Demoracy
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of
the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy
is always
temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up
until
the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves
generous
gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the
majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most
benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy
will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always
followed by a
dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations
from the
beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those
200
years, these nations always progressed through the following
sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law
in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts
concerning
the last Presidential election:
Number of States won by: Obama: 19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain:
2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain:
143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama:
13.2 McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the
territory
McCain won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying
citizens
of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
low
income tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between
the
"complacency and apathy" phase of Professor
Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's
population
already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase.
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal's - and they vote - then we
can say
goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.
General Electric Takes its Money and Jobs to China
Keeping in mind that GE OWNS NBC, CNBC AND MSNBC
General Electric is planning to move its 115-year-old X-ray
division from Waukesha, Wis. to Beijing. In addition to moving the
headquarters, the company will invest $2 billion in China and train more than
65 engineers and create six research centers. This is the same GE that made
$5.1 billion in the United States last year,but paid no taxes ... the same
company that employs more people overseas than it does in the United States.
So let me get this straight. President Obama appointed GE
Chairman Jeff Immelt to head his commission on job creation (job czar). Immelt
is supposed to help create jobs. I guess the President forgot to tell him in
which country he was supposed to be creating those jobs. If this doesn't show you
the total lack of leadership of this President, I don't know what does. Please
pass this information to others and think about it before you buy a GE product.
THIS IS WHATS REALLY GOING ON in GOVERNMENT!!
America The Broken Hearted
Another post by the brilliant mind of Amber Best Roberts - I
want all of my friends and family to read this. I think we should all strive to
make the changes that she suggests:
It was hard to face my children at the breakfast table this
morning. My heart breaks for them, and this country. There is a great a
division in this nation.
There are an abundance of people who voted out of ignorance,
who couldn't tell you a single policy they voted for by voting for President
Obama. There are those who voted right down party lines; but, the people that
truly break my heart, break my heart because of their core beliefs. Core
beliefs that are contrary to not only how this country was established, but
contrary to God.
As I looked in my children's faces this morning, I felt like
this nation had failed them. My solace is that I know that God is my Ultimate
Leader and only true peace comes through Jesus Christ. So, for those of you
that are in my same mind set or you are broken hearted for your country, the
attack on Christian values, your children, the millions of aborted, the debt,
Israel, the military, answers to Fast & Furious, the terrorist attack in
Libya, rising unemployment, rising taxes, the debt cliff, the hurt on small
businesses, an estimated 200,000 defense job cuts in Virginia alone, the
aftermath of Hurricane Sandy... to a name just a few. What do WE do?
Let's start in our home, with our families. What values are
children learning from us? What do they see us do? What do they hear us say? We
can't look to schools, whether public, private, or Christian to teach our
children values. God isn't even in most of them, He simply is not allowed. The
lessons need to start at home.
To parents, who do our children look up to today? Is it the
rapper that stood next to our president and said the N word, Fu*#,
"ho", and bitch repeatedly? How many women have been slapped around
and called a bitch and "ho" ? How many of God's children were called
the N word as they were beaten by slaves are forced to use the back door? President
Obama said he had that song on his iPod, and so do his daughters. This is
representation of America's first family, but I don't have to answer for his
family and neither do you. I am accountable to God for mine. You are
accountable to God for yours. Believe in Him or not, He believes in us, He
loves us, and He holds us accountable for our actions.
What are our children watching on TV? Can they name all the
cast of the Jersey Shore, but they couldn't tell you who refused to ride in the
back of the bus? What do their web searches represent? Do our children want
every new gadget, clothes, "stuff" yet they've never visited a
shelter or seen poverty. Do we even know their hopes, their desires, and their
dreams? Don't mistake me, I'm preaching to the choir. So, my plan for change:
As I finish up this post, I have decided to unplug for a
while. I need to examine my own heart and family. What can I do to better serve
God, family, and others? I want to read more to my daughters, then read what's
new on Facebook? I want to have more dates with my husband then plan the
perfect, mostly pretend getaway on Pinterest. I want to pray more to God then I
talk on the phone. I want to do more for others, and show my children more of
what giving looks like. I want to do less socially, so that I can do more for
my church. I want to text less, email less, post less, and write letters to my
daughters, like my Daddy did for me. There is nothing in my life that is free
from re-examination.
My last post went a bit viral (for a simple girl like me). I
had people contact me, that I didn't even know. I hope the THEME of this post
go viral in hearts and homes, because that is when TRUE CHANGE will come.
On a final, funny note. My oldest daughter, Ivy patted me on
the back this morning, and said, "you need some coffee." I told both
of my girls it was important that we continue to pray for our president,
President Obama. They both agreed, with the exception of 6 year old, Bella, who
said, "well, if he (President) starts telling us we can't have puppies,
I'm not going to pray for him anymore" The innocence of my children
brightened my day. God bless you all. Christians, "be still" and know
that He is God.
