Barker's Newsbites: Friday, August 29, 2014



Question: When's the last time you read about Iran?

Not Iraq...

Not Isis...

Not Russia...

Another question: How're things on America's southern border? Do you suppose anything has changed between when the media was focused upon goings on there and... er... now?

Folks... my point... don't ever believe that you're not being manipulated day by day, minute by minute.

Hey... I follow the daily news leads to a large extent! But I also connect the dots... I don't forget... I remind you folks of what the media largely would rather help you forget.

(*SHRUG*)

Anyway... on to today's newsbiting...!

* TWO-PARTER... (Part 1 of 2)

http://cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/mayor-adult-illegal-aliens-graying-hair-enrolled-public-schools

The mayor of Lynn, Mass. says that some of the illegal aliens from Guatemala who are enrolled in her city’s public schools are adults with graying hair and “more wrinkles than I have.”

“They are not all children,” Judith Flanagan Kennedy told reporters at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.

“One of the things that we did notice when we were processing some of these students coming in was that they were adults,” she said.

She added that the federal government will not allow school officials to verify their ages, even though one of the students turned out to be 35 years old.

* GEEZUS... FRIGGIN'... CHRISTMAS...!!!

Kennedy said that the majority of those from Guatemala who are enrolling in the Lynn Public Schools claim to be between 14 and 17 years of age. “But there were people with graying temples, hair around the temples,” said Kennedy, adding that although she did not see these individuals in person, she saw photographs of them in registration paperwork. “There were people with more wrinkles than I have around their eyes.” However, the school district was directed by the federal government not to verify the age of the foreign enrollees, Kennedy said.

* GEEZUS... FRIGGIN'... CHRISTMAS...!!!

“We were told through a directive from the Department of Justice (DOJ) that we were not to question or verify – attempt to verify these ages,” Kennedy stated at the press conference, hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

* AND YOUR RESPONSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TO TELL THE FEDS "F-U" AND TO CHALLENGE THE ROYAL COMMAND IN COURT WHILE WAGING A FULL-COURT PUBLIC RELATIONS ASSAULT AGAINST THIS NEWEST FEDERAL MANDATE!

* TO BE CONTINUED...

* CONCLUDING... (Part 2 of 2)

Kennedy said that she and the school superintendent in Lynn wanted to know why the number of students from Guatemala “almost doubled” from 56 who enrolled during the 2012-13 school year to 101 during the 2013-14 school year.

* O-BAM-A...!!!

When CNSNews.com asked whether she could be more specific about how they determined the ages of those enrolled, Kennedy replied that while school personnel cannot ask for age verification, they have confirmed that some of them are in fact adults.

“We have no ability to confront a student directly and demand an accurate age,” Kennedy said. “Every once in a while, we’ll be able to determine that someone is well above the age at which they would be entitled to an education in the Lynn Public Schools.

“For example, if a student does not show up for a few days of classes, we will send our truant officers out to find out what’s going on at that home,” Kennedy explained.

“One example: the woman who answered [the] door said, ‘He’s 35 years old -- he’s not going to show up at school....But we cannot, per DOJ guidelines, we cannot ask them for any more verification of age,” Kennedy said.

“It does become very frustrating,” she added.

* THIS... IS... INSANITY...!!!

In May, the Department of Justice issued a statement to public schools reminding them that they are legally required to enroll all children, regardless of their immigration status.

“You must ensure that you do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin, and that students are not barred from enrolling in public schools at the elementary and secondary level on the basis of their own citizenship or immigration status of that of their parents or guardians,” the DOJ statement read.

However, under federal law, “the term ‘child’ means any person within the age limits for which the State provides free public education.” In Massachusetts, those between the ages of 3 and 21 are eligible to attend public school.

* FOLKS. THE WHOLE SYSTEM HAS BROKEN DOWN. PARTISAN POLITICAL LOYALTY NOW TRUMPS BOTH COMMON SENSE AND THE LAW - NOT TO MENTION CREATING A NEW SYSTEM WHERE LOCAL, COUNTY, AND STATE OFFICIALS ALL TEND TO THROW THEIR CONSTITUENTS UNDER THE BUS (IN THIS CASE THE SCHOOL BUS) AT THE BEHEST OF THE WASHINGTON ELITES.

* FOLKS... IT WOULD AT LEAST BE UNDERSTANDABLE IF FEDERAL FUNDING WERE COMING INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS TO PAY FOR THIS INSANITY... BUT IT'S NOT! THIS IS SIMPLY WASHINGTON MANDATING THAT THE TAXPAYERS OF THESE SCHOOL DISTRICTS BE BLED DRY IN ORDER TO FINANCE FEDERAL INSANITY!

At the press conference, Kennedy said that the economic impact on American cities like Lynn, which is located about 10 miles north of Boston, includes an increase in cost to taxpayers for educating these overage students and for providing them with health services, including vaccinations that are required for all children attending U.S. public schools.

She described Lynn as a blue-collar "factory” town with a diverse population of about 90,000. It is the ninth largest city in Massachusetts and has the fifth largest school district in the state.

As reported earlier by CNSNews.com, the Administration for Children & Families’ Office of Refugee Resettlement said that by the end of July, 37,477 unaccompanied alien children have been placed with relatives or other sponsors around the country and are entitled to attend U.S. public schools. Of that number, 989 were sent to Massachusetts.

THREE-PARTER... (Part 1 of 3)

* AND WELL WORTH READING...!!!

http://freebeacon.com/national-security/fbi-national-domestic-threat-assessment-omits-islamist-terrorism/

The FBI’s most recent national threat assessment for domestic terrorism makes no reference to Islamist terror threats, despite last year’s Boston Marathon bombing and the 2009 Fort Hood shooting—both carried out by radical Muslim Americans.

* WHAT BOSTON MARATHON BOMBING? (WHAT SECOND FT. HOOD MASSACRE?) I HAD THOUGHT THESE EVENTS SCRUBBED FROM HISTORY! (I MEAN... HOW OFTEN ARE THEY MENTIONED...? HMM...???)

Instead, the internal FBI intelligence report concluded in its 2013 assessment published this month that the threat to U.S. internal security from extremists is limited to attacks and activities by eight types of domestic extremist movements ... include[ing] anti-government militia groups and white supremacy extremists, along with “sovereign citizen” nationalists, and anarchists.

(*SILENCE*)

Other domestic threat groups outlined by the FBI assessment include violent animal rights and environmentalist extremists, black separatists, anti- and pro-abortion activists, and Puerto Rican nationalists.

On black separatists, the report warned that “high-profile racially charged crimes or events” could lead to an expansion of black separatist groups. The report identified three such groups as the New Black Panther Party, the Israelite Church of God in Jesus Christ, and the Black Hebrew Israelite group as extremists under FBI scrutiny.

* FOLKS... GOOGLE "HOLDER + BLACK PANTHERS"

* FOR GOD'S SAKE, ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THE ADMINISTRATION DID UPON TAKING CONTROL OF FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS TO CUT THE NEW BLACK PANTHER PARTY "SLACK" EVEN IN THE CLEAR FACE OF DOCUMENTED VOTER INTIMIDATION!

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson had no immediate comment on the report.

* CONTINUING... (Part 2 of 3)

One indirect explanation for the omission of Islamist extremism in the report is provided in a footnote to a graphic describing an “other” category of domestic extremism not included in the report. “The ‘Other’ category includes domestic extremist [sic] whose actions were motivated by beliefs which fall outside the eight designated [domestic terrorism] subprograms,” the footnote stated.

The footnote indicates the FBI has separated Islamist terrorism from other domestic extremism.

The Obama administration in 2009 adopted a new policy that substituted the vague term “violent extremism” as a replacement for terrorism.

* FOLKS... RECALL... THE FIRST FT. HOOD MASSECRE... CATEGORIZED BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION AS "WORKPLACE VIOLENCE." (AGAIN... GOOGLE IF THERE'S ANY DOUBT!)

The report left out all references to the April 2013 bombing of the Boston Marathon...

(*SILENCE*)

(The FBI had been warned in advance of the attack by Russian security services that the brothers may have links to Chechen terrorists but failed to act.)

* OBAMA'S FBI. HOLDER'S FBI. TODAY'S "POLITICALLY CORRECT" FBI.

The FBI report also made no direct reference to the 2009 Fort Hood shooting by radicalized Army Maj. Nidal Hasan.

(*SHRUG*)

* FOLKS... IT IS WHAT IT IS... (AND IT'S DELIBERATE!)

Former FBI Agent John Guandolo said he was not surprised the report did not include any reference to domestic-origin Islamic terror. “It should not surprise anyone who follows the jihadi threats in the United States that the FBI would not even include ‘Islamic terrorism’ in its assessment of serious threats to the republic in an official report,” Guandolo said.

Patrick Poole, a domestic terrorism expert, also was critical of the report’s omission of U.S. Islamist extremism, blaming “politically correct” policies at the FBI for the problem.

* HMM... GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE!

“At the same time we have senior members of the Obama administration openly saying that it’s not a question of if but when we have a terror attack targeting the United States by ISIL, we have the FBI putting on blinders to make sure they don’t see that threat,” Poole said. “These politically correct policies have already allowed Americans to be killed at Fort Hood and in Boston,” he added.

* AND THE STUPID F--KING AMERICAN SHEEPLE RE-ELECTED OBAMA IN 2012.

(*BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST THE WALL*)

* CONCLUDING... (Part 3 of 3)

Guandolo said the failure to recognize the domestic Islamist threat had allowed domestic jihadist groups and their sympathizers to shape U.S. government create policies that do not acknowledge jihad as the root cause for the current global chaos. “The FBI, no matter how diligent its agents are in their pursuit of ‘terrorists’, will never defeat this threat because its leaders refuse to address or even identify it,” he said. “This level of negligence on the part of the FBI leaders and their failure to understand the jihadi threat 13 years after 9/11 is appalling.”

(*PURSED LIPS*)

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R., Texas) said in a 2012 House floor speech that the FBI was ordered to purge references to Islam, jihad, and Muslims in its counterterrorism “lexicon” guidelines for its reports. As a result, the FBI is hamstrung from understanding the threat of terrorism from groups like al Qaeda that have declared jihad, or holy war, on the Untied States, Gomert said.

Guandolo, the former FBI agent, said the vast majority of U.S. Islamic organizations were identified in recent U.S. terrorism trials as part of the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent group for the Palestinian terror group Hamas. Thus, these groups are aligned with the same objectives as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, al Qaeda, and others, he said.

“Our FBI is not teaching their agents and analysts this information; they are not sharing it with local and state law enforcement officials; and they are not investigating and pursuing the very individuals and organizations which are supporting and training jihadis in America,” Guandolo said.

Guandolo said former FBI director Robert Mueller testified to Congress that he was unaware that the Islamic Society of Boston was the organization behind the radicalization of the Tsarnaev brothers. “That tells you all we need to know about the FBI’s leadership about the threat here in America from the Islamic Movement—they are clueless,” he said.

Butter futures reached an all-time high in Chicago as Americans’ rising appetite for the fatty dairy spread and rising exports erode U.S. inventories.

* BULLSHIT! THERE'S NOTHING NATURAL ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AND NOTHING "FREE MARKET" ABOUT IT EITHER. GOVERNMENT CONTROLS DAIRY PRICING - AND HAS SINCE THE 1930's!

Dave Kurzawski, a Chicago-based senior broker at INTL FCStone Inc., said in a telephone interview: “We have a gaping hole with where U.S. prices and where world prices for fat are,” Kurzawski said. “That’s going to have to close at some point.”

* AND IN THE MEANTIME...

U.S. prices are higher than those from other producing nations, signaling American shipments will slow. Butter is averaging $1.35 a pound in New Zealand, the world’s biggest exporter, the USDA said yesterday.

* AND YET...

Butter futures for October settlement climbed 1.1% to $2.55 a pound at 11:12 a.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, after touching $2.5500002, the highest ever for a most active contract.

* IN OBAMA'S AMERICA...

The commodity is up 62% this year.
