Keenan's response?



Keenan's response?
I knew that posting the Cease & Desist orders from Dr. Soekanto to Neil Keenan was most likely going to cause a lot of contention, and I spent several hours discussing the situation with several people- friends and
sources- while deciding whether to post the information or not.

And of course, during the night while I wasn't around, a shitstorm blew up which I would like to address.

First off, feel free to read the comments on the article for yourself:
please use discernment and remember that everyone is free to post their opinions and what resonates with them personally, but please keep it respectful.

One of the comments and the ensuing responses  I received just a while ago :

What's up RTS? Why won't you post Neil's comments? Your credibility is seriously slipping.

Not so according to Jean Haines who has been in touch with Neil. Don't know what the trouble is. Maybe you could send a communication to him?
It seems to be important enough to do so.

So I went to 2012: What's the real truth site- which is Jean's site, which I visit several times a week usually to see what she has to say- as I respect Jean as a writer and a light worker.  Jean posted this

Sen. Collins: Rice played 'political role' in Benghazi response


Sen. Collins: Rice played 'political role' in Benghazi response

By Julian Pecquet - 11/28/12 12:43 PM ET

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) emerged from an almost two-hour meeting with Susan Rice Wednesday morning unconvinced by her explanation of her role after the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi and concerned about her role in denying security requests prior to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa.
“I continue to be troubled by the fact that the UN ambassador decided to play what was essentially a political role at the height of a contentious presidential election ... by agreeing to go on the Sunday shows to present the administration's position,” the top Republican on the Homeland Security Committee said.
Collins's statement comes after three key Senate Republicans said Tuesday they were “more troubled” than ever after meeting with Rice, who had been seen as a front-runner to get the nod for secretary of State. The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations' apparent failure to win over any Republicans during her two-day visit to Capitol Hill has thrown that nomination into serious doubt.
Collins said Rice told her she ignored statements from Libya's own president linking the attack to al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists because she was relying on U.S. intelligence.
“I don't understand why she wouldn't have at least qualified her response” on the Sept. 16 Sunday shows. Rice said on Sept. 16 that the attack that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans appeared to have spun out of a peaceful protest against an anti-Islam video but that the intelligence was preliminary.
Collins also raised new questions about Rice's role in the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, when she was then-President Clinton's assistant secretary of State for African Affairs. Republicans have blamed the Obama administration for turning down Stevens's requests for more security prior to the attack.
“What troubles me so much is the Benghazi attack in many ways echoes the attacks on both embassies in 1998, when Susan Rice was head of the African region for our State Department,” Collins said. “In both cases, the ambassador begged for additional security.”

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN PICTURE?

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE AMERICAN PICTURE?
What is wrong with this American picture....
where MILLIONS will cast their "vote" for
American Idol, "The Voice", and X-Factor
but will not take the time to learn about the
history of America and where we stand now!

This is NO JOKE. 


The "country" you THINK you have has been slipping
away for the last 100 years!  This is your time to show
that you do know what is going on.  Is that too much to
ask?  That Americans unite for our country.

PLEASE "wake up" before it is all gone!  SIGN THE TWO
petitions below and then send it your contacts (even those
on facebook).


DO YOU BELIEVE THESE WORDS?
Where in the course of Human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
~ Thomas Jefferson, 1776

Those are the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence 1776 and are as true today as they were 236 years ago, and perhaps far more vital to the survival of this great nation and her people today.

There is no doubt or argument that America is in the most dire and urgent of situations she has ever seen. The only thing that stands between America and total collapse and invasion by foreign intervention is her people.

In a nation divided by social issues, race, faith, political ideologies and gender, by careful manipulation and design of those in power it is difficult to imagine a people united to one cause. There is however one cause, one great and irrefutable fact which binds us one to the other in America and around the globe; Freedom and Liberty. All men and women are indeed created equal; all are born with unalienable rights endowed by their creator; Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. All creatures great and small possess the same right to Freedom and Liberty; to be free of Tyranny and Despotism.

There is a great enthusiasm for the idea of secession from the out of control and unlawful federal government we find ourselves at the mercy of today and there are petitions to that end on the Whitehouse.gov site but is it really about secession?

No, none truly believe the overgrown and bloated federal government will dissolve the shackles of slavery so carefully placed on us.

It’s not an issue of secession it is an issue of Re-possession; Re-possession of that which has been stolen from us, our Freedom and Liberty. It is not separation we must declare but our RIGHT TO EXIST AS FREE MEN AND WOMEN! THE RIGHT TO LIVE AS FREE AND SECURE IN OUR LIBERTIES AS OUR FOUNDERS INTENDED.

DO YOU BELIEVE THESE WORDS?
Then as a true American, stand up for yourself, and sign the petitions...and then forward this to all you know.




Dwell in possibility.  ~ Emily Dickinson

Greetings and Salutations;

 Listen very carefully to the words of this song, if you can get past needing to hear a banjo or 'spoons' in everything. Folks are out plowing thru everything said by somebody in the web. Conspiracy stories are everywhere...mass confusion. There is no need for it, just because you can't decipher the players, be cool. All is in order. Time was always on our side. The losers can always be spotted by their bad behavior. As long as the old folks stuck to the plan, they'd take a shot of oxygen and do their jobs. Who knew, it would take so many D9's to keep the runway clear? Many folks lost their power and freedom in the last few weeks, you just didn't hear about it. There are many ways to skin this cat, with out making a public spectacle of it. No need for the chaos of getting the masses all tripping when it's all being handled. Below are some links to show you where the world is going, no longer happening behind the curtains. Change is upon us, now they 'fund' it. That makes you and I, mules, to spread the load out across the planet recreating the world we live in. I recommend staying close for a spell, now. Might find a surprise at your door. Everything ends and begins in this world. See ya 'out there'.

Consultations until the door bell rings.

Love and Kisses;

Poofness

Blurbing Paula Broadwell


Blurbing Paula Broadwell

By Carol Felsenthal - 11/28/12 09:52 AM ET

In fits and starts over Thanksgiving weekend I read pieces of All In: The Education of General David Petraeus. As a nonfiction author who checked her Amazon page in the tense days after pub date, I looked at Broadwell’s soaring “best-sellers rank” when the story was in the headlines (110), but as it faded, I returned just now to Amazon to find the book with a decent — I’d love to have it — ranking of 3,952; decent but not best-selling.

And then I read the blurbs, offered by the likes of Tom Brokaw and Doris Kearns Goodwin, I’m assuming in the days before publication. In retrospect they’re hilarious; overflowing with praise — not surprising; a blurb wouldn’t be a blurb without hyperbolic acclaim — and, unfortunately for the famous blurbers, double entendres.

Here’s a sample, condensed by me:

"Gen. Petraeus is one of the most important Americans of our time, in or out of uniform.” — Tom Brokaw

“With superb narrative skill, Broadwell simultaneously provides an intimate look at Petraeus the man … ” — Doris Kearns Goodwin

All In is … informed by remarkable access to the man both on and off the battlefield." — Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down

All In feels at times like we are sitting at his side in Afghanistan, reading his emails over his shoulder." — Thomas E. Ricks, author of The Generals, Fiasco and The Gamble

Report: Women sue Panetta over military’s combat ban


Report: Women sue Panetta over military’s combat ban

By Sterling C. Beard - 11/27/12 04:25 PM ET

Four women are suing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, alleging that the Pentagon’s policy excluding women from combat roles is unconstitutional, according to a report in Stars and Stripes.
The lawsuit charges that the policy, which keeps women from serving in combat, limits their careers in the U.S. armed forces.
All four women have been deployed to Afghanistan, and two have been awarded Purple Hearts. One of them, Maj. Mary Jennings Hegar of the California Air National Guard, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross after her helicopter was shot down in 2009.
“The ability to serve has very little to do with gender,” Hegar said, in the lawsuit. “It has everything to do with heart, character, ability, determination and dedication. This policy is a disservice to those women who put their lives on the line for their country.”
The plaintiffs, two of whom are Marines, also allege that a related policy that requires Female Engagement Team members to return to a forward operating base every 45 days to withhold them from missions further endangers their lives.
“To accommodate the policy, the women were forced to travel to and from the base on dangerous roads, and they were often taken out of crucial missions, sometimes for a week’s time,” says the suit.
The lawsuit comes in the wake of the military lifting a rule that prohibited women from living with combat units, and opening roughly 14,500 positions to women that were male only. 
Panetta also directed the services to examine ways to open more such roles to women.
More than 16,000 women are currently deployed in Afghanistan, according to Defense Department spokeswoman Eileen Lainez.
Pentagon spokesman George Little would not comment on the lawsuit, but defended Panetta’s record on women in combat as “very strong,” according to Stars and Stripes.
Little said the rules earlier this week to open combat roles to women were “merely the beginning, and not the end of the process,” the report added.
In addition to Hegar, the plaintiffs include Army Reserve Staff Sgt. Jennifer Hunt, Marine Capt. Alexandra Zoe Bedell, a reservist, and Marine 1st Lt. Colleen Farrell, an active-duty officer.
The women are joined in their suit by the Service Women’s Action Network, and are being represented by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Northern California and the law firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP.

Passing the buck on Benghazi


Passing the buck on Benghazi

By Anne Penketh - 11/28/12 09:18 AM ET


  The Obama administration’s clumsy attempt to mollify the Republican opposition in the Senate to a possible nomination of Susan Rice as the next secretary of State has not only opened another can of worms on “Benghazigate” but may have fatally damaged her prospects.

Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, said yesterday there are “no unanswered questions” about Rice’s appearances on the Sept. 16 Sunday shows after the Libya attack and the talking points that she used, “provided by the intelligence community.” “Those questions have been answered,” he said after Rice and CIA acting director Michael Morell met privately with three key senators.

How is it possible to say this after the senators came out of the meeting saying they were more disturbed than before?

The exact timeline on who knew what and when has needed to be clarified urgently since the former CIA chief, Gen. David Petraeus, testified to Congress on Nov. 17 that he had always believed that the armed assault on the U.S. consulate — which killed four Americans, including the U.S. ambassador — was a terrorist attack. Rice has been accused of playing down the Sept. 11 attack for political reasons by blaming it on “spontaneous” protests linked to an anti-Islamic video.

This buck has been passed around so much that it’s making me dizzy. The administration seems to be pointing the finger at the intelligence community: In a statement issued after yesterday’s meeting, Rice noted that “the intelligence assessment has evolved,” and that the initial talking points of the intelligence community were “incorrect.” The bottom line remains: Who cut the references to terrorism and al Qaeda in the talking points used by Rice? In the latest version of the shifting narrative available today, we still don’t know for sure.

The senators said in a statement last night: “At approximately 4 this afternoon, CIA officials contacted us and indicated that Acting Director Morell misspoke in our earlier meeting. The CIA now says that it deleted the al Qaeda references, not the FBI. They were unable to give a reason as to why.” So do we now know for certain that it was the CIA and if so, did they act under political pressure?

Just as important are the questions surrounding Rice’s fitness for the job of secretary of State, as formulated by Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine). While the U.N. ambassador’s loyalty to the president is well-known, that fierce loyalty may be hindering her in taking independent judgments given her access to classified information in her current post.

Rice will get the opportunity to address Collins’s concerns directly today. Nine weeks after the Sept. 11 events, the lack of clear answers is astonishing.

President Obama refocusing our financial situation


President Obama refocusing our financial situation

By Armstrong Williams - 11/28/12 07:19 AM ET


I want to extend my congratulations to President Obama and the Democratic Party for being able to successfully shift the focus from fiscal responsibility to taxing the wealthy and entrepreneurial class. 

If we look at this situation purely on the surface, raising taxes on the job creators and the financially successful seems to be a viable solution, especially for the people who do not fit into those categories. Because of human nature, we are wired to think that it is right to “take his” and “not mine.”
 
Unfortunately, raising taxes on business owners and the wealthy does little or nothing to alleviate our rapidly approaching insolvency. The only thing this solution does is give us a “feel-good” instinct that we are trying to do something, when in reality we are just pushing off the issue at hand while it stays the same or gets worse.
It’s like a college student who procrastinates on a paper by doing laundry. While the student may have clean clothes at the end of the laundry cycle, the paper still needs to be written before deadline.
 
We will eventually be forced to deal with the real issue, be it Republicans, Democrats or independents. Like the college student, who will be held accountable by his professor for how well he does on his paper, the people will hold President Obama and the Democratic Party accountable for how well he fixes our financial situation.
 
The sooner we realize that our biggest problem is over-spending, as opposed to under-taxing, the sooner we restore our nation to a path of prosperity.
