Iowa Democrat’s Invocation: Dear God, Thank You For Abortion
For God's sake.
With high-ranking Democratic officials listening reverently in the Iowa state capitol, a liberal activist and union official on Wednesday led a prayer for increased funding for abortions, for greater access to abortions, for doctors who perform abortions, and for what she called “the blessing of choice.”
Midge Slater, an organizer for the Iowa Alliance for Retired Americans, part of the Iowa Federation of Labor and the AFL-CIO, spoke to about 80 people who came to the capitol to protest a proposal that the State Board of Medicine end a program that allows doctors to prescribe an abortion pill for a woman after a video chat, rather than an in-person consultation.
Two days later, on Friday, the Board voted to end the practice known as “tele-med” abortions. In her invocation at the rally, which was attended by Jack Hatch and Tyler Olson, two Democratic candidates for governor of Iowa, Slater prayed that elected officials “may always support a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions.”
She prayed for “increased financial support for low income women” to have abortions.
She prayed that “women in developing nations” have greater access to abortion.
She prayed to “give thanks and celebrate that abortion is still safe and legal.”
And she prayed that families may know “the blessing of choice.”
Slater also prayed for “women have been made afraid of their own power by their paternalistic religion.”
And she asked God that women be able to “throw away their secrets and claim their herstories.”
Judicial Watch : "A president that doesn’t want Americans, under law, to know who his visitors are is a president who doesn’t want to be accountable"

Judicial Watch : "A president that doesn’t want Americans, under law, to know who his visitors are is a president who doesn’t want to be accountable."HT: JudicialWatch.
U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Rules White House visitor logs off-limits to the America People.
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued a statement today in response to the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which found that U.S. Secret Service’s White House visitor logs for people visiting the president’s office are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Secret Service (No. 11-5282)):
“A president that doesn’t want Americans, under law, to know who his visitors are is a president who doesn’t want to be accountable. The appellate court decision punches another hole in the Freedom of Information Act, the law which allows Americans to know what their government is up to. We are strongly considering an appeal.
The legal gymnastics in this unprecedented decision shows that President Obama is not the only one willing to rewrite laws without going through Congress.
And this legal fight, in which President Obama is fighting tooth and nail against full disclosure under law of his White House visitors, further exposes his big lie that his administration is the most transparent in history.
The silver lining is that at least the appellate court opened up the records of tens of thousands White House visits that Obama was trying to keep secret.”

ISNA Briefed By US Secretary Of State Kerry On Israeli - Palestinian Peace Negotiations
From Will at THE OTHER NEWS:
ISNA Briefed By US Secretary Of State Kerry On Israeli - Palestinian Peace Negotiations. HT: (GMRP)
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has announced that it had a briefing earlier this month led by US Secretary of State John Kerry and other White House officials and concerning the latest Mideast peace negotiations. According to theannouncement, ISNA was joined by other unidentified American Muslim and Arab American ” leaders”:
Last week, Dr. Mohamed Elsanousi, ISNA Director of Community Outreach joined other American Muslim and Arab American leaders for a briefing lead by Secretary of State John Kerry, National Security Advisor Susan Rice and Special Envoy for Middle East peace Martin Indyk. The leaders had the opportunity to hear directly from Secretary Kerry about his latest successful efforts to bring Israeli and Palestinians to the negotiating table.
The group expressed their optimism in this process and hope that with further commitment from the Obama administration as the lead broker, as well as willingness from Palestinian and Israeli authorities, these talks will bear fruit.
Dr. Elsanousi expressed appreciation to Secretary Kerry's for his hard work on this issue and encouraged the officials to seek a mechanism to involve faith-based groups and other under-represented constituencies in this process to ensure grassroots support.
ISNA is a member of the National Inter-Religious Initiative for Peace in the Middle East and continues to work with its interfaith partners to support peace in the Middle East. Just last month ISNA President Imam Mohamed Magid and ISNA National Director for Interfaith and Community Alliances, Dr. Sayyid M. Syeed, sent a letter along with 28 religious leaders to Secretary Kerry voicing “strong support for his determined initiative for Israeli-Palestinian peace.”
ISNA leaders also called on key members of Congress “to support Secretary Kerry’s continuing urgent efforts for peace.” Religious leaders have stood with ISNA in their support for resuming peace talks,noting that “while these talks have yet to yield a blueprint for peace, they have identified ideas for addressing key issues that must be resolved in a manner acceptable to both sides.”
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) describes itself as “an independent, open and transparent membership organization that strives to be an exemplary and unifying Islamic organization in North America by contributing to the betterment of the Muslim community and society at large. ISNA emerged out of the early U.S. Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure and documents discovered in the course of the the terrorism trial of the Holy Land Foundation confirmed that the organization was part of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood. ISNA was named as a Holy Land unindicted co-conspirator as a result of what the US Justice Department called the organization’s “ intimate relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood, the Palestine Committee, and the defendants in this case.” In 2009, a US federal judge ruled ”The Government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA and NAIT with HLF, the Islamic Association for Palestine (“IAP”), and with Hamas. ISNA has had a long history of fundamentalism, anti-semitism, and support for terrorism. ISNA of late.
Clearly considered to be “rehabilitated” by the Obama administration, ISNA has more recently issued robust condemnations of terrorism beginning with this 2008 ISNA statement that although denying culpability in the Holy Land terrorism financing case, for the first time condemned terrorism while identifying Hamas and Hezbollah by name. ISNA has also been engaged in an active program of interfaith cooperation that has included partnerships with Jewish organizations and visits to concentration camp sites in Europe. Yet despite these new efforts, ISNA continues maintain strong ties to both the US and Global Muslim Brotherhood and has failed to date to acknowledge any aspect of its actual origins or its history of fundamentalism, anti-semitism, and support for terrorism. For these reasons, the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch concludes that ISNA remains, as it always has been, an integral part of the US Muslim Brotherhood.Hmmmm......."Israel's Staunchest Ally"....indeed.

The Poor, Persecuted Muslim Brotherhood!
The Poor, Persecuted Muslim Brotherhood!
by Henri Boulad, SJ, Cairo, August 17, 2013
The entire Western world is outraged, offended and scandalized because the Egyptian Army has dared to dislodge the Muslim Brotherhood from the two bastions of Rabia and Nahda, where they had been barricaded for several weeks. Bottom line: more than six hundred dead in the two camps.
by Henri Boulad, SJ, Cairo, August 17, 2013
The entire Western world is outraged, offended and scandalized because the Egyptian Army has dared to dislodge the Muslim Brotherhood from the two bastions of Rabia and Nahda, where they had been barricaded for several weeks. Bottom line: more than six hundred dead in the two camps.
In no time at all, the right-thinking Western media uttered cries and whimpers asking the Security Council and international human rights associations to condemn this savage aggression with the utmost firmness.
The poor Muslim Brothers! Victims of violence! Those gentle lambs, well known for their sweetness and innocence! The object of unacceptable brutality. Consequently, it’s a duty to defend them against the devouring wolves of the Egyptian army and police. The USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Turkey, the UN...then, should rise as one man to denounce injustice, defend those innocents, and invite the world to fly to their rescue. The international media instantly leapt upon Pegasus to charge at the guilty ones…
This lifting of shields to claim and proclaim the right of all citizens to protest "peacefully" has something tragicomical about it.
Consider the facts:
1. The Rabaa mosque, where the Brothers were holed up was a real armory where an incredible arsenal of war was discovered. No denunciations from the West.
2. For weeks, the Brotherhood’s militias, armed to the teeth, sowed terror among the whole population of Egypt: killings, abductions, kidnappings, ransom demands, abductions and rape of girls forcibly married to Muslims. No reaction from the West.
3. More than 20 police stations looted and burned; nearly fifty policemen and officers killed and tortured in the most savage way. Silence from the West.
4. Sufi mausoleums destroyed and Shiite families massacred raise NO international emotion.
5. Some 50 churches, schools and Christian institutions burned in the single day of August 14. No protest on the part of the West.
6. Priests and Christians attacked and killed — including children of tender age — for the sole reason that they were Christians. No Western denunciation appeared which might be accused of "Islamophobia", which today is the crime of crimes.
7. Nearly 1,500 people massacred by Morsi militias during its one-year reign. Silence from the media.
8. Secret agreements from Morsi to sell Egypt, piece by piece to its neighbors: 40% of the Sinai to Hamas and the Palestinians, Nubia to Omar al-Bashir, and the western portion of the territory to Libya... This is a gift for the West, since it is their doing…
When Egypt finally decides to react and put some order in the house...the West cries ‘persecution’, ‘injustice’ and ‘scandal’!
It’s a secret to no one that the presidential elections were a broad farce and that the election was tainted by massive fraud. Nevertheless, the media persisted in asserting that Morsi was the first president in Egyptian history to be 'democratically' elected and that he achieved 'legitimacy'.
The Egyptian people are easy to blame, since they agreed to play this game, saying to themselves: ‘Let’s see what they actually do.’ The result was so catastrophic — insecurity, unemployment, inflation, bread and gasoline shortages, the economy in free fall, moribund tourism — that at the end of one year the entire population requested Morsi to clear out.
Within two months, the Tamarrod movement collected more than 22 million signatures calling for his departure. In vain! Facing his obstinacy, tens of millions of Egyptians — the majority of which were the humble people who had been his former supporters — turned out on the streets of major cities to demand his departure. Still in vain!
The Army — neutral until then — decided to intervene to support the people and toss the bums out, keeping them under house arrest. During long hours of interrogation, the Army got revelations of exceptional wrongdoings that compromised both the Muslim Brotherhood and a number of foreign countries.
Faced with the Army’s power grab, the West immediately cried ‘coup d’état’. If it had been a ‘coup d’état’, it was a ‘people’s coup’, rather than military one. The Army had merely acquiesced to the will of the people. The people were fed up with a president who had betrayed, flimflammed and hoodwinked them, and they reacted with a survival reflex, calling for his departure.
A delightful little story illustrates what I am saying. A guy buys a can of something at the grocery which, once opened, appears to be spoiled. What’s he going to do? Eat it or toss it? Toss it, obviously.
It's kind of what did the Egyptian people did after Morsi and the Brothers promised the moon and the stars. Once the can was opened, they realized that it was all rotten. And so they reacted by rejecting them.
Following Morsi’s house arrest, the Army still wanted to have the Muslim Brotherhood contribute to the new Government, offering them to team up with other parties. That met with systematic and stubborn refusal.
After numerous unsuccessful attempts of dialogue and negotiations with them, a new provisional government was set up.
It was then they decided to go underground and sow terror; in this they were highly successful. But this strategy has only increased their unpopularity and we can say today that the Egyptian people despise and abhor them.
Equipped with the most sophisticated weapons, the Brothers are everywhere burning, attacking, killing, destroying…
The Army then decreed a State of Emergency and imposed a curfew from sunset to sunrise. But the Muslim Brotherhood considered themselves exempt from compliance. Yesterday, August 16, in my room near Ramses Avenue and Ramses Square (that were swarming with their militias), I heard explosions, single shots and submachine gun fire from the surrounding streets.
After several warnings to young people to go home, the Army decided to send in tanks to enforce the curfew. Seeing the collateral damage, well-thinking Westerners indicted the Army for having the nerve to attack 'peaceful’ demonstrators!
Whom are they trying to kid?
John Kerry Cites THE ARAB LEAGUE, TURKEY, AND FRANCE In Justifying Attack on Syria
Muslims and France.
Islam and the French, who have always been on the side of Islam.
You guys seeing what I'm seeing?
From ABC News:
Citing support from the Arab League, Turkey and France, Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday that "we are not alone in our will to do something about" last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria that he blamed on the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Kerry added that the United States "makes our own decisions on our own timelines, based on our own values and interests" in signaling a possible military response to last week's chemical weapons attack in Syria.
Halal Infiltration: Food Sacrificed to Idols
I Corinthians 8:
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up.
Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God.
So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.”
For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
But not everyone possesses this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that when they eat sacrificial food they think of it as having been sacrificed to a god, and since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
But food does not bring us near to God; we are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols?
So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.
As the video above demonstrates, Muslims are doing what they need to do to make sure food sacrificed to idols (Allah) is introduced into our society. There are multiple reasons for this, some having to do with money, some with Stealth Jihad.
Allah is not the God of the Bible.. To those of us who believe in the God of the Bible, Allah is an idol.
This Halal food is not harmful to us, either physically or spiritually. The God of the Bible is not cowed by Allah. Allah is nothing to the God of the Bible.
And therefore, Allah is nothing to us.
That being said, MUSLIMS KNOW that the food has been sacrificed to Allah, AND THEY KNOW WE KNOW.
Muslims are weak. They are among the weak ones spoken of in I Corinthians 8. They are in bondage to Allah, who is a God of power and submission, blood, and death. This is why Muslims kill, each other, cut themselves up, beat their heads on the ground, play with entrails, and all the other abominations that are part of the worship of Allah.
Therefore, if we eat of their food, we are causing them to stumble.
If we eat of their food, they are destroyed by our knowledge.
If we eat of their food, we sin against Christ.
Finally!
It's about damn time people wake up to the realities of marijuana. Fact is, marijuana is safer for your body and society than alcohol.
If making something illegal were solely based on it's history, then there is no way in hell alcohol would or should be legal. When you look at the history of pain and suffering caused by alcohol use, it's atrocious.
Marijuana has only caused pain and suffering due to it being illegal. How many people's lives have been ruined due to being busted. How many people have been killed due to the black market.
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED DURING PROHIBITION?
How much money has our countries law enforcement spent on upholding this law? Money that could be put to better use on cases that are far more important. Not to mention the money that would be brought in on the taxation of marijuana.
Many people cannot get comparing marijuana to hard drugs like cocaine out of their head. This must stop. Marijuana is a naturally grown product, cocaine and other drugs are man made chemical concoctions.
A vast majority of people who smoke marijuana, ONLY smoke marijuana. They treat it like an afternoon cocktail. They are as opposed to using hard drugs as we are. People who also use hard drugs, would have had the tendency to use those hard drugs, with or without the use of marijuana.
All of this is in conjunction to the proven medical uses benefits.
It is time for the old fashioned, stereotypical and totally false attitudes and ideas about marijuana to be thrown out.
MAKE IT LEGAL, ONCE AND FOR ALL!
SEATTLE (AP) — For generations, pot crusaders have called for an end to the nation's prohibition of marijuana, citing everything from what they say are the government's exaggerated claims about its dangers to the racial disparities in who gets busted for drug possession.
Now, they will get their chance in Colorado and Washington state to show that legalizing pot is better, less costly and more humane than the last 75 years of prohibition — all with the federal government's blessing.
In a sweeping new policy statement, the Justice Department said Thursday it will not stand in the way of states that want to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana as voters in Washington and Colorado did last fall, as long as there are effective controls to keep marijuana away from kids, the black market and federal property.
"It's nothing short of historic," said Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project, which backed Colorado's new law. "It's a very big deal for the DOJ to say that if the states want to legalize marijuana, that's fine. Everybody in this movement should be thrilled."
It won't just be the White House watching to make sure Washington and Colorado get it right. Voters in Oregon and Alaska could weigh marijuana legalization measures next year, and several states could face ballot questions in 2016, activists say.
Meanwhile, Latin and South American countries are also considering pot reform, and the Obama administration's stance on Washington's and Colorado's laws could embolden them, said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance, which supported Washington's law. Uruguay has already approved plans to license marijuana growers and shops.
The DOJ's decision came nearly 10 months after the votes in Washington and Colorado, and officials in those states had been forging ahead to make rules for their new industries without knowing whether the federal government would sue to block sales from ever taking place on the grounds that they conflict with federal law.
Licensed, taxed marijuana sales in the two states are due to start next year, and officials have estimated they could raise tens or hundreds of millions of dollars for state coffers.
The administration's guidance laid out eight federal law enforcement priorities that states need to protect if they want to authorize "marijuana-related conduct." They include keeping marijuana in-state, off the black market, and away from children; preventing violence and gun crimes related to marijuana distribution; and preventing drugged driving.
The DOJ noted that it simply doesn't have the resources to police all violations of federal marijuana law, and so it would focus on entities that threaten those priorities. If a state's enforcement efforts don't work, the feds could sue to block the state's entire pot-regulating scheme, Deputy Attorney General James Cole wrote in a memo to all 94 U.S. attorneys around the country.
The priorities are similar to the factors the Justice Department has previously considered in determining whether to shut down medical marijuana dispensaries. But the memo also clarifies that just because a regulated marijuana operation is big and profitable isn't reason enough to raid it.
Peter Bensinger, a former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, criticized the announcement, saying the conflict between federal and state law can't be reconciled. Federal law is paramount, and Attorney General Eric Holder is "not only abandoning the law, he's breaking the law," Bensinger said.
Some in the marijuana-reform community also criticized the memo, noting it did not represent a fundamental change in the law, which would require the approval of Congress.
"It's like, 'We're going to be tolerant of this as long as we feel like it,'" argued Seattle marijuana defense attorney Douglas Hiatt. "Is a new administration just going to come in and shut it down?"
But others pointed to language in the memo they found remarkable coming from the Justice Department: an acknowledgement that a well-designed regulatory system could actually help achieve federal law enforcement goals.
"Indeed, a robust system may affirmatively address those priorities by, for example, implementing effective measures to prevent diversion of marijuana outside of the regulatory system and to other states, prohibiting access to marijuana by minors, and replacing an illicit marijuana trade that funds criminal enterprises with a tightly regulated market in which revenues are tracked and accounted for," Cole wrote.
A Pew Research Center poll in March found that 60 percent of Americans think the federal government shouldn't enforce federal marijuana laws in states where its use has been approved. Younger people, who tend to vote more Democratic, are especially prone to that view.
But opponents are worried these moves will lead to more use by young people. Colorado and Washington were states that helped re-elect Obama.
Kevin Sabet, the director of Project Smart Approaches to Marijuana, an anti-legalization group, predicted the new Justice Department policy will accelerate a national discussion about legalization because people will see its harms — including more drugged driving and higher high school dropout rates.
Kristi Kelly, a co-founder of three medical marijuana shops near Denver, said the Justice Department's action is a step in the right direction.
"We've been operating in a gray area for a long time. We're looking for some sort of concrete assurances that this industry is viable," she said.

Obama supporter and prominent anti-fracking loon, Vera Scroggins is also a public advocate for parental pedophilia. Scroggins made comments on a Yahoo group called “Peacelist“, a group that is “dedicated to the advancement of the human species by restoring its natural peacefulness, through the means of affectionate parenting and sexual freedom”.
Washington Free Beacon reported:
Vera Scroggins, an outspoken anti-hydraulic fracturing activist from Pennsylvania and a director of Citizens for Clean Water, made the remarks in emails to a Yahoo group in 2001.“Are there cultures that mothers or fathers pleasure their children and teenagers sexually or genitally and also possibly initiate them into sexual expression at some point?” Scroggins asked in one message.“I have had intuitive thoughts that such would be a healthy way for parents to interact with their children and introduce their children to sensual/sexual pleasure and bonding and loving practices,” Scroggins said.“Who better to do it, than the parents first?” she added.Scroggins posted those and other controversial comments on sexuality in a Yahoo group called “Peacelist.”The group says it is “dedicated to the advancement of the human species by restoring its natural peacefulness, through the means of affectionate parenting and sexual freedom.”It was moderated by German author and deputy director of the Wikimedia Foundation Erik Möller, who advocated “the importance of ‘Mothering’ and of youth affectional sexual relationships for peaceful and loving behaviors.”
In 2008 Erik Moller publicly defended pedophilia and wrote a book called “Children Are Pornography”. Moller cites Greek history to defend his support of pedophilia and was caught removing child pornography pictures from his website.
To add to the creepiness of this story, Scroggins is a publicly devoted grandmother and Pennsylvania libs refer to her as the “Grandmother Superhero“.

Syrian Tension Rising: Russia Sends Warships to Mediterranean
From Gateway Pundit:
Russia, one of Assad’s biggest arms supplier, has deployed two warships to the east Mediterranean. The warships are currently in the North Atlantic and should be in the Mediterranean within a few days. On Monday, Russia made claims that the Syrian rebels were responsible for the recent chemical attacks in Syria.
Russia, one of Assad’s biggest arms supplier, has deployed two warships to the east Mediterranean. The warships are currently in the North Atlantic and should be in the Mediterranean within a few days. On Monday, Russia made claims that the Syrian rebels were responsible for the recent chemical attacks in Syria.
Russia is sending two warships to the east Mediterranean, Interfax news agency said on Thursday, but Moscow denied this meant it was beefing up its naval force there as Western powers prepare for military action against Syria.Interfax quoted a source in the armed forces’ general staff as saying Russia, Syria’s most powerful ally, was deploying a missile cruiser from the Black Sea Fleet and a large anti-submarine ship from the Northern Fleet in the “coming days”.Any strengthening of the navy’s presence could fuel tension, especially as the United States has said it is repositioning naval forces in the Mediterranean following an alleged chemical weapons attack which it blames on Syrian government forces.“The well-known situation now in the eastern Mediterranean required us to make some adjustments to the naval force,” the source said in a reference to the events in Syria.
UK’s Prime Minister David Cameron has backed down from the decision for an immediate military strike on Syria.
As of yesterday, President Obama said he has not yet made a decision on a Syrian military strike.
