New Pigford Documentary: Another Multi-Billion Dollar Grift

Grifter in Chief

Further evidence of fraud by Andrew Breitbart in the Pigford reparations scandal should come as no surprise to anyone who has been following the story. Now Lee Stranahan, whom Breitbart brought in from the Huffington Post to double check his facts, is on board with an upcoming documentary that will expose organizational wrongdoing in the case.

In other words, not only did thousands of un-entitled claimants file for damages, but they may have been encouraged and told how to successfully file those fraudulent claims by the organizations that set up the scam.

Stranahan and Breitbart presented a video at a CPAC presser yesterday that will eventually become part of a larger documentary; it includes undercover audio that indicates a conspiracy to commit fraud by the head of at least one Democrat-supported nonprofit.

Rep. Michele Bachmann introduced Breitbart who in turn brought on Stranahan and GOP Rep. Steve King from Iowa. King, who has been investigating Pigford II since 2008, has been smeared as a racist by the left for describing the scheme as a Trojan horse for slavery reparations.

Does any of this sound familiar?

A disturbing pattern is emerging here that indicates far more than the multibillion-dollar Pigford theft of taxpayer dollars. Put it together with the massive 2009 ACORN scandal and recent revelations of corruption within Planned Parenthood, and we begin to see a much-repeated, criminal modus operandi within Democrat-supported nonprofits.

Stranahan—who is not a conservative—has laid out a scathing indictment against Pigford II; he has not only exposed widespread corruption on the part of lawmakers and liberal nonprofits, but also suggests further intentional disregard by the national media, after similar abuses were expose in the ACORN and Planned Parenthood scandals.

More shockingly, it appears that President Obama himself may have been knowingly involved in this fraud from the very beginning, as a United States senator. Lots of luck making it stick but it certainly appears that way.

With the revelation this week by former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel that he supports slavery reparations, and President Obama’s outright prevarication to Bill O’Reilly that he is not for wealth redistribution, it is clear that this administration will stop at nothing to promote its socialist agenda.

In 1972, a couple of cub reporters at the Washington Post brought down an American presidency for a little two-bit burglary at the Watergate; you’d think a multibillion-dollar grift by this president would at least attract a sidebar.

THE RABBLE UNDER THE RUBBLE: RAHM EMANUEL AND THE SESTAK SCANDAL

In Obamarama on 02/06/2010 at 07:30

Barack Obama and "Pretty Ballerina" Rahm Emanuel

From 1991 until 2000, the Clinton White House ran much like one would expect any well-oiled totalitarian seat of government to run, complete with dirty tricks, subterfuge, and its own propaganda ministry. Rahm Emanuel headed up the “dirty tricks bureau” and John “I Vant to Sock Your Blod” Podesta, now founder and head of Media Matters, ran the propaganda ministry.

Sweet little operation.

Rahm was the guy who instituted the “no notes” policy for White House lawyers during the Clinton impeachment proceedings, the idea being that if White House lawyers didn’t take notes there would be no records to subpoena. This, a lesson learned from the mistakes of Nixon Watergate counsel John Dean. Dean took great notes and drew a four-year sentence, even after he ratted out the others.

In Emanuel and Posdesta we have possibly two of the greatest unindicted criminals in the history of American politics. These guys were “good … very good,” to quote Humphrey Bogart.

Well, Podesta still heads up propaganda for the Democratic Party, albeit in the private sector nowadays. Much of the dirt you read about Sarah Palin, James O’Keefe, Michele Bachmann and scores of other conservatives is hatched by him and his organization. It’s effective and many Republicans accept much of it as fact after it percolates into the mainstream media.

But Emanuel has kept his hand in government, most recently as Obama White House chief of staff, and, when one day all of the rubble is cleared away, in the Joe Sestak “Jobsgate” scandal, Rahm will be the rabble at the bottom of it.

The question is not whether Obama offered Congressman Sestak a job – he did. It isn’t even whether the White House and Joe are being truthful about what job was offered – they aren’t. The real question is whether or not the misfire Republicans on Capitol Hill can prove it.

In this entire debacle one idea has been put forth that makes sense. It is not a special prosecutor appointed by the Obama Justice Department or even a Washington-based FBI investigation. The best idea put forth – I believe it was on O’Reilly last week by Dick Morris – is that Republican Pennsylvania Attorney General, Tom Corbett, impanel a state grand jury into the bribe offered a sitting U.S. Representative in his state.

If he will do this, he will effectively circumvent any dog and pony show that Marc Rich Pardon architect Eric Holder conducts, and get to the most corrupt White House chief of staff in U.S. history.

Again, What Part of ‘Infidel’ Don’t You Understand?

In The American Jihad on 10/03/2010 at 08:47

American terrorist Jihad Jane

May we now dispense with this nonsense that American anger with Islam is racial intolerance? With the arrest of Jihad Jane in Pennsylvania it should be clear that the difference between a friendly Muslim and a Jihadist is the AK-47 hanging off their shoulder and no more.

Political correctness has moved through the liberal media and academia like a plague over the past 10 years, and, most recently, especially concerning Islam. If it persists Americans will die en mass.

Those of you who read LCL regularly, know of my respect for Washington Post op-ed columnist Charles Krauthammer, but it seems even Charles has caught the bug.

Charles recently gave us his two cents on the difference between Islamics and Islamists in a roundtable on Fox News’ Special Report with Bret Baier. The conventional wisdom, it seems, among the media elite is that a wide, sweeping ideological chasm exists between the two.

The panel discussion concerned Dutch politician Geert Wildersblasphemy trial in the Netherlands. Blasphemy trial?

Okay, it is time to issue my usual PC disclaimer. One can never be too careful when Rahm Emanuel might be reading. Most Muslims are, I’m sure, law-abiding citizens. Yadda yadda yadda. To the Left that has all of the impact of sending Joe Biden to Israel to shore up US-Israeli relations, anyway.

For all I know Wilders may be a fascist. I don’t trust anyone with anything close to a Germanic accent who might foam at the mouth when they’re excited. But one thing is certain: this guy is under sentence of death, not by extremist Muslims, but all of Islam.

Acceding to the fact that most of Charles Krauthammer’s 1 trillion brain cells are functioning most of the time, and that I am an eight-cylinder thinker who is at best firing on six on any given day, Charles can still be wrong. And he is.

In a land where religious freedom is woven into the very fabric of our tradition, it is understandable that Americans will give Muslims the benefit of the doubt. But Muslims regard the very insinuation that Mohammed was anything other than the anointed prophet of their god as a sin punishable by death. Wilder has accused the prophet of being a pedophile and a warlord.

Let’s be certain here that Wilders’ accusations against Mohammed are not idle talk. Wilders will eventually die for his ‘crimes against Islam,’ just as did Theo Van Gogh in 2004. The Netherlands has been all but overtaken by Islamics.

And right now he is being condemned as a liar and fear monger for remarks that are historical fact; Wilders’ charges are true. His call for the banning the Koran is extreme, and I do disagreed with it, but Holland has fallen on serious times with Islamics.

Let’s view a couple of excerpts of Muslim reactions to Wilders’ showing his film in the House of Lords in London this week. Mind you, these are not Dr. Krauthammer’s so-called Islamists; these are everyday English working stiffs, many are British citizens.

“Islam will conquer the west … it will enter the house of every unbeliever … Islam will dominate.”

And, finally, a word from Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of a founding member of Hamas and former Muslim and Israeli spy.

Yousef is on record here as saying that Jihad is the highest form of Islam. That there is no ‘moderate’ Islam.

How much more evidence do we need?
