Many people will dismiss this claim as ridiculous or outlandish. However, the originator holds considerable merit, and if you have read the actual research you know this is not an extreme position. We have previously shared the fact based reality of numerous studies, funded by the military, identifying the primary psychology behind a willingness to fire upon citizens.
(Via GWP) Dr. Jim Garrow, the author of The Pink Pagoda: One Man’s Quest to End Gendercide in China, made the following claim on Facebook this week that is getting a whole lot of attention. The Examiner reported:
On Monday, renowned author and humanitarian Dr. Jim Garrow made a shocking claim about what we can expect to see in Obama’s second term.
Garrow made the following Facebook post:
I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. “The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not.” Those who will not are being removed.
So, who is the source?
Garrow replied: “The man who told me this is one of America’s foremost military heroes.” (link)
(Canada Free Press) Forget Wal-Mart and skip your local gun show. The murderers of tomorrow will not be found wearing orange vests at your local sporting goods store. They won’t have NRA memberships or trophies on their walls.
You won’t find them in America. Look for them in Obamerica.
67% of firearm murders took place in the country’s 50 largest metro areas. The 62 cities in those metro areas have a firearm murder rate of 9.7, more than twice the national average. Among teenagers the firearm murder rate is 14.6 or almost three times the national average. Those numbers are from six years ago. They have grown worse since.
Those are the crowded cities of Obamerica. The places with the most restrictive gun control laws and the highest crime rates. These are the places where the family is broken, money comes from the government and immigrants crowd in from some of the most violent parts of the world bringing with them their own organized crime. These are also the places that have run by Democrats and their political machines for almost as long as they have been broken. (more…)
There is an interesting compilation of stories from some of the non-U.S. hostages who survived the Algeria terror attack.
JAPAN: One Japanese worker at the plant remains unaccounted for, according to employer JGC.
NORWAY: Five Norwegian employees of Statoil are still missing, the energy company said.
BRITAIN: Two other Britons still missing and feared dead, the UK government said.
UNITED STATES: 3 Americans dead the US has confirmed. A US official said seven American hostages escaped.
MALAYSIA: Two Malaysians are missing, the government says.
PHILIPPINES: Four Filipinos are missing.
Ask yourself this question as you read: “where is the U.S. Press in similar coverage of our guys”? Are they so interested invested in covering for the failed foreign policy of the Obama administration they cannot bring themselves to report on the most horrific of all terror attacks in recent history?

Much of the conversation in our United States is about banning AR-15 type rifles from citizens. The left wants to ban guns, the right wants to retain their constitutionally protected 2nd amendment right.
However, one only needs to look across the pond to see what is left for defense after a decade of bans on firearms. This is not a spoof, this is an actual article from the Daily Mail about removing dangerous kitchen instruments in their “campaign aiming to end knife crime”. The citations and quotes with the pictures are, well, priceless:
Blades: The killer weapons were collected in a period of just four months
(Daily Mail) […] Superintendent Basit Javid said: ‘It is illegal to carry a knife in public and if, like me, people believe that one knife related crime is one too many, they must make a stand and come forward with information which will help us tackle the problem.’
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner Bob Jones added: ‘The deaths of two Big Issue sellers in Birmingham last week are a stark reminder of the seriousness of knife crime, and this campaign couldn’t be more timely.’ (read full article)
Inaugurals always magnificent…appears Pres. Obama comfortable with high unemployment and huge deficits..no serious mention
— Jack Welch (@jack_welch) January 21, 2013
Chris Matthews says President Obama’s inaugural address comparable to Abraham Lincoln. Time magazine says Obama talks in terms too complex for the ordinary earthly person to understand. The Congressional Black Caucus says Obama is fulfilling the Martin Luther King legacy with Obamacare as an example. NBC’s Brian Williams says Michelle Obama is the most fascinating woman since Jackie Kennedy.
President Obama’s campaign director, David Plouffe, says that Washington, and this nation, is not worthy of a man as great as Barack Obama and the opportunity he presents. Newsweek has declared President Obama as the second coming of Jesus Christ.
But the most profound, reflective and ironic statement can be found right here in The Last Refuge; As Sharon reflects upon the inaugural poster of President Obama “The Prophecy Fulfilled“: (more…)
First Couple …. Yikes
Last week the New York unionized School Bus Drivers went on strike. The city currently pays an average of $6,900 per student for transportation. Yes, that’s right, $6,900.00 per student, a rate that is totally unsustainable.
So the city wants to put the bus contract up for bid. The drivers are beside themselves because their employment will not be guaranteed by the next contract bidder(s).
NEW YORK [excerpt] – […] The nationwide attention that strikes, rooted in very local fights, tend to receive now is another indication of how unions have weakened in recent decades. “It’s sad that it’s seen as a novelty,” says Zev Eigen, associate professor of law at Northwestern University.
It also means that unions have to pick their fights carefully, he says, because public sympathy will go down if a strike is not tied to a substantial issue of fairness.
At the heart of the bus strike is a dispute over the bidding process for a bus contract to replace one due to expire in June.
The school district currently spends an average of $6,900 per year for each bused student, more than double the cost of the next most expensive district of Los Angeles. (more…)
Imagine the media response if George Bush had openly said he would break the law if he did not get his way. Both the White House, through David Plouffe, and the Senate, through Chuck Schumer, are saying exactly the same thing: Raise taxes, or we will operate without a budget.
WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said the U.S. Senate will only fulfill its legal obligation to pass a budget if the budget, which has not been passed since 2009, includes new tax increases.
“We need a budget,” Schumer conceded on Meet the Press. “It’s a great opportunity to get us some more revenues to help in part deal with sequestration and deal with the debt issue . . . We’re going to do a budget this year and it’s going to have revenues in it and our Republican colleagues better get used to that fact.” (more…)
