The environmental zealots have tugged on obama’s nose ring and now new regulations could ban fishing and further decimate the economy. Not to mention piss off 60,000,000 people.

ESPN: Culled Out

The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation’s oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.

“When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big game hunts in North America (spring bear), the results of their agenda had severe economic impacts on small family businesses and the tourism economy of communities across northern and central Ontario,” said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.

“Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

WWF, Greenpeace, Defenders of Wildlife, Pew Environment Group and others produced a document entitled “Transition Green” shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. What has happened since suggests that the task force has been in lockstep with that position paper.

Then in late summer, just after he created the task force, these groups produced “Recommendations for the Adoption and Implementation of an Oceans, Coasts, and Great Lakes National Policy.” This document makes repeated references to “overfishing,” but doesn’t once reference recreational angling, its importance, and its benefits, both to participants and the resource.

As more evidence of collusion, the green groups began clamoring for an Executive Order to implement the task force’s recommendations even before the public comment period ended in February. Fishing advocates had no idea that this was coming.

Perhaps not so coincidentally, the New York Times reported on Feb. 12 that “President Obama and his team are preparing an array of actions using his executive power to advance energy, environmental, fiscal and other domestic policy priorities.”

Gateway Pundit: Obama’s Latest Assault on Freedom– New Regulations Will Ban Sport Fishing

Barack Obama has a message for America’s 60,000,000 anglers– We don’t need you.

The American Sportfishing Association reported back in October about the sweeping changes proposed by the Obama Administration in regards to the sport fishing industry:

A sweeping oceans and Great Lakes management policy document proposed by the Obama Administration will have a significant impact on the sportfishing industry, America’s saltwater anglers and the nation’s coastal communities. The draft policy, the Interim Report of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, issued on September 17, will govern federal Pacific and Atlantic Ocean waters and Great Lakes resource conservation and management and will coordinate these efforts among federal, state and local agencies. This past June, President Obama created the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, led by the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), to develop a draft national policy and implementation strategy for conserving and managing the United States ocean territory and the Great Lakes.

Now it looks like the Obama Administration is going to move ahead with these restrictions.

Owing to Patti’s generosity I’m currently reading Exodus by Leon Uris.

Exodus by American novelist Leon Uris is about the founding of the State of Israel. Published in 1958, it is based on the name of the 1947 immigration ship Exodus.

In 1956, Uris covered the Arab-Israeli fighting as a war correspondent. Two years later, Exodus was published by Doubleday. Exodus became an international publishing phenomenon, the biggest bestseller in the United States since Gone with the Wind. Uris had sold the film rights in advance.

The story unfolds with the protagonist, Ari Ben Canaan, hatching a plot to transport Jewish refugees from a British detention camp in Cyprus to Palestine. The operation is carried out under the auspices of the Mossad Le’aliyah Bet. The book then goes on to trace the histories of the various main characters and the ties of their personal lives to the birth of the new Jewish state.

A film based on the novel was directed by Otto Preminger in 1960 featuring Paul Newman as Ari Ben Canaan. It focused mainly on the escape from Cyprus and subsequent events in Palestine.

The old adage ‘the more I learn the more I realize how little I actually know’ applies here.

Only vaguely aware of the book Exodus, I certainly didn’t know that it told the true story of the British run Jewish detention camps in Cyprus post WWII.

Friends of Cyprus has more:

We came to learn that the British authorities held Jewish “illegal” immigrants in detention camps on Cyprus from 1946 to 1949. This policy was part of an effort to deter Jewish immigration to Palestine, under British control, as was Cyprus. During that time over 53,000 Jews passed through the barbed wire camps, held against their will, with a quota of only 1,500 per month permitted to leave Cyprus for Palestine.

The Jews considered illegal immigrants by the British were intercepted by British naval forces and turned back from the shores of Palestine and escorted to Cyprus or temporarily imprisoned in Palestine (Atlit) before being deposited in the camps of Cyprus.

The two major camps were Caraolos, north of Famagusta, and in Dekhelia, outside of Larnaca. The compounds stretched for several miles.

Anecdotes tell of Cypriots working in the camps, smuggling in potatoes to the undernourished internees, assisting in escapes from the camps through underground tunnels. Local Cypriots from laborers to doctors worked in the camps. Translators were British employees. The Jews were prisoners living in overcrowded tents and barracks under harsh conditions with inadequate food supply. The barbed wire camp was also a vibrant community with marriages, illness, deaths, and celebrations. 2,200 children were born in the camps during this period – pregnancy moved the family up on the Palestine waiting list.

Mind boggling. So some Jews went from the hellholes of German concentration camps to the hellholes of British camps…

The book is well written, the characters believable and the story engrossing; I highly recommend it, even though I’m not even halfway through yet… and who knows what else I’ll learn along the way…?

Jesse Jackson led a march of 200 protesters singing “We Shall Overcome” as they protested for Bingo rights in Alabama.

Rally leaders evoked Civil Rights era imagery during the march. Marchers sang, “We shall overcome” and the demonstration paused to pray in front of Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church, the church once led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

Seriously?

A segment of the population seem entranced by the possibilities of a sham regarding Obama’s birth certificate. It would be sweet, but I sit on the realist side of the fence. Look what Clinton got away with, including several people who were mysteriously made dead. If Slick Willy could beat the rap [whatever it was at the moment], then Barack the Magic Negro will be able to slide off the hoary beast of humiliation to safety every time. And hasn’t the last year borne witness to that?

For your discernment:

Via Maggie’s Notebook, from Citizen Wells comes the story of a faked-in-the-middle-of-the-night birth certificate:

Chanise Foxx, free republic, FreeRepublic.com, March7, 2010, I helped Obama campaign staffer Divorah Adler create a fake birth certificate, Fact Check, COLB

The following comment was posted on this blog at 2010/03/06 at 10:13pm.

“HUGE NEWS AT FREEREPUBLIC!!!
“My name is Chanise Foxx. I work at a office supply store in Kenwood, IL. After nearly 3 years of silence and death threats to me and my family to stay quiet, I am compelled to come forward and tell the world my secret.

“I helped Obama campaign staffer Divorah Adler create a fake birth certificate for use in the famous Fact Check story to prove the world of Obama’s birth in the 2008 election. Divorah approached me in early 2007 and held onto the birth certificate until she released it in August 2008.
“As I’ve been making fake IDs part-time for local college students for about eight years now, faking a birth certificate was actually quite easy. Our first step was to get our hands on someone else’s birth certificate from Hawaii. We then created the stationary to match.
“Next, we had to create an embossed stamp and rubber signature stamp for Hawaiian officials. With the help of a high-resolution scanner at the store, I did most of my work at night when the place was vacant…””

This morning around 8:00 EST, I attempted to access the article on Free Republic and was unable to access the article or Free Republic. I searched on Google and got this.

“Results for: Chanise Foxx free republic

This proved that the article had been posted.

I then tried to access the cache and was unable to access it.

Devorah Adler from Wikipedia:

Devorah Adler is a political consultant and opposition research specialist for the Democratic National Committee in the United States. A former Assistant Director for Health Policy during the Bill Clinton presidency, Adler later served as Director of Research for the Democratic National Committee in the 2006 election cycle, and served as Director of Research for the Barack Obama campaign for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.[1]
Adler was one of the Obama 2008 campaign’s first hires in January 2007, assigned to debunk a widely circulated anonymous set of emails that rumored Obama was Muslim. Interviewed at that time by Politico.com, Adler said, “We’ve been bird-dogging it from the beginning; the first research document that I put together was a response to the ‘Who is Barack Obama?’ email.”

SNL goes after the ‘deeply unpopular’ health care bill:

…to Muslims.

The President has called for an ‘entrepreneurship summit’ with Muslims.

The White House on Friday announced a “summit on entrepreneurship” to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama’s outreach to Muslims.

The White House said it has invited participants from more than 40 countries over five continents for the April 26-27 conference in Washington.

“The summit will highlight the role entrepreneurship can play in addressing common challenges while building partnerships that will lead to greater opportunity abroad and at home,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

Obama first spoke of the entrepreneurship conference in his signature June 4 speech in Cairo to the Islamic world.

In the closely watched address, Obama said the United States was seeking a “new beginning” with the Islamic world to rebuild relations that had sharply deteriorated over the past decade.

Obama promised at the time that he would convene a “presidential summit on entrepreneurship” by the end of 2009.

He said that the meeting would “identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.”

“…the meeting would “identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.”

This is another nauseating kumbaya moment.

What about entrepreneurs right here at home? Our business owners are being squeezed out and taxed to death but he’s going to have a summit that will lead to greater opportunity abroad?
How many American companies have outsourced jobs to India and Turkey, just to name two…?

Not a fucking clue. Not one. You know, even if he could convince muslims that we don’t need killin’, I’d still rather he turn his attention to the people of the United States and our problems; after all, there are so many for which he is personally responsible…

The day Obama, Pelosi and Reid drive out of town… that will be a good day.

Last night’s sunset was typical of this winter’s fare but I got a picture anyway. Can’t see too many of these, IMO.

Now that I’ve gotten a bit more familiar with the food processor, applesauce was easy to make this morning. It’s good, too…

Oh, there have been mishaps. The night I tried to chop onions and ended with onion water most readily comes to mind. But the machine and I are becoming acquainted. I’ve no doubt they’ll take over the world one day and this unit will be running it’s own segment of the Matrix.

We have a ghost.

It was 40 again last night so the house was hovering around 60… creating condensation on the inside of the windows.
This morning I meandered into the kitchen and saw something very odd: a child’s hand print on the inside of the window.

Wasn’t there yesterday.

I just received this:

“Good News! – The Florida Health Care Freedom Act cleared it’s first committee stop this morning. 4 Yeas, 3 Nays.
Florida Senate Health Regulation Committee chaired by Senator Don Gaetz.”

The Florida Health Care Freedom Act:

Proposes creation of s. 28, Art. X of State Constitution to prohibit laws or rules from compelling any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system; permit person or employer to purchase lawful health care services directly from health care provider; permit health care provider to accept direct payment from person or employer for lawful health care services; exempt persons, employers, & health care providers from penalties & fines for paying or accepting direct payment for lawful health care services; permit purchase or sale of health insurance in private health care systems; & specifies what amendment does not affect or prohibit.
