POPSAny Way these Firms Can be Experts in Everything? What these government contractors are expert at is: 1. Placing job sites in states and districts of Congressional Members who serve on funding committee for Defense, IT, and Homeland Security. 2. Have Political Action Committees that donate money to candidates on same committees. 3. Having paid representatives at every meeting in Congress or government agency that could affect their funding.

POPSFEMA Grant to ACORN is Offensive Rest of Article Below... I’ve had grave reservations about ACORN for some time, and over the past year we’ve seen numerous examples of serious allegations of wrongdoing on the part of this organization and its employees across the country. I simply can’t see the logic behind diverting much needed funding from worthy fire departments to this organization. So last week, I wrote a letter to Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano requesting that she rescind this grant from ACORN. As of today, the Secretary has not responded to my request. This site will post a copy of the letter for you to read and see for yourself. Rest assured, I’ll keep working to help prevent further ACORN schemes to procure federal money.

POPSFEMA Grant to ACORN is Offensive Yes, it is! Our capital city is trying to cut back on police officers and to merge fire-fighters and the EMS to save money (which in itself is ridiculous), but I'd be willing to guess that our local ACORN organization got some of this money. Especially since our RINO Governor took all the Stimulus money and we've seen no apparent changes.

POPSACORN Subpoenaed by America's Toughest Sheriff
filed against him by Somos America and five individuals who allege that Arpaio targeted them because of their ethnicity. The lawsuit also alleges that the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department (MCSO) engages in a pattern of racial profiling when conducting "neighborhood crime suppression sweeps" in Hispanic neighborhoods. "I believe the organization used state and federal funds meant to help poor people to conduct a campaign against me and my officers,"said Arpaio. "These records will show, I believe, that ACORN is in bed with the anti-immigration enforcement organizations which continue to demonstrate in front of my office trying to thwart my officers from enforcing state and federal law." When I spoke with Sandschafer late Thursday, ACORN had not yet seen the subpoena even though MCSO said it had been served. We learned why later: The subpoena meant for the Arizona ACORN office has not been served yet, and the subpoena meant for ACORN's headquarters was served on an . . .

POPSA "Dark Winter" for Public Health: Meet Homeland Security's New Bioterror Czarina Before being pegged by the Obama administration to head DHS's Science and Technology division where she will oversee the department's billion dollar budget, with some 45 percent of it going towards chemical and bioweapons defense, O'Toole, as previously mentioned, was the CEO and Director of UPMC's Center for Biosecurity, a satrapy which describes itself as "an independent organization dedicated to improving the country's resilience to major biological threats."

POPSThe anti-Obama teabaggers can't really pretend they don't attract far-right extremists anymore Most recently, it turns out that the guys who brought those guns to a health-care forum in Arizona in fact were longtime members of the old Arizona Vipers Militia. These were characters who, prior to their arrests in 1996, had stockpiled close to 2,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate and conducted field training exercises, practiced bomb-making, and trained with illegal automatic weapons. Now, all the Fox talkers have been in heavy denial about extremists showing up for their tea-party protests, even making a regular joke out of it by asking the protesters they have on their show if they're Klan members and the like. But it's becoming clearer all the time that, while not everyone at these events is an extremist, the percentages of them keep going up and up. And with them, so does the threat to public safety.

POPSACLU Files Lawsuit Against Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Office and his son is a US citizen. He was also an employee of Handyman Maintenance at the time of the raid. The lawsuit claims that the Mora’s were detained for over 3 hours and denied food and water during this time. It also alleges that the experience was “humiliating” for Julian Mora since he is a diabetic and was forced to urinate in the parking lot. Almost lost in the story is the fact that the raid resulted in the apprehension of 60 illegal aliens, while the company itself did work for the Maricopa County government. The strategy for silencing Arpaio seems clear; Investigate and sue him into submission. An anti Arpaio website claims that the Sheriff’s office has been involved in over 5000 lawsuits and proclaims that 42 million has been spent defending Arpaio and his department. This is used as a justification for removing Arpaio, whether his efforts are sanctioned under the law is irrelevant to these groups. . . .

POPSFalse "terror alerts" for poltical reasons It's truly a full-time job keeping up with the mendacity of the warmongers...who now spread racist lies to try and get back in power. This clip, no surprise except for the fact that it's documented...but the Bush Administration, hoping to win the 2004 elections, wanted to get the "terror alert," raised. The more you can make people fear the more they go along with war and hate programs. So..false wars based on deliberate lies....now false "terror alerts," trying to win elections (vs. there not even being a real threat). The Republican party needs to be driven into extinction, defeated again and again and no support for their lies, smear or hate campaigns should be supported. Support the opposite.

POPS...and it's called PROJECTION.
What they are attributing to you, is exactly what THEY are doing. It's a devious and intensely irksome tactic and they are very good at it. You see it on MessNBC, from our top Democrats in Congress and from the President. They do it with hubristic, arrogant cock-sureness and they brazenly lie with a sense of intellectual security because they think nobody is as smart as they are. They've stolen the language by getting to it first, describing every element of their own actions, and blaming YOU for them.They don't have to go far to access the information. It is within their own hearts and minds. It is there to be witnessed in their behavior. It is denied and attributed to you. This way you are left to find an intelligent way of saying, "No I didn't. But you just did that", so they can repulsively scoff at you in their disgust. Be quick in calling them out. The latest studies on brain activity relating to political leanings is the kind of weaponry they are using. Study it. Search for the

POPSMASSIVE NLE 09 Involving FEMA, DHS and FOREIGN Agencies! In our previous story on NLE 09, we noted that this exercise is a continuation of previous simulations under FEMA and the DHS that have involved the rounding-up and internment of American citizens labeled as “suspected terrorists”. Under REX 84 and other operations, FEMA, in association with 34 other federal civil departments and agencies, has consistently trained to detain large numbers of Americans. We also noted that several recently leaked Department of Homeland Security, FBI, and local law enforcement documents have stated that the focus of security operations should be “rightwing extremists” who support the Second Amendment and states’ rights and oppose abortion and open borders.

POPSFeds rule change could nix Sheriff Arpaio’s immigrant sweeps That could allow the White House to derail Arpaio’s immigration enforcement actions, which have been made through a federal partnership that trains deputies to enforce immigration laws and pick up illegal immigrants. The sheriff also conducts workplace and drop-house raids under state laws. The MCSO has had an immigration enforcement agreement with the feds since April 2007 The sheriff was not sure whether the federal government would maintain its agreement with the MCSO. If it does not, he said the feds will have to take over the processing and detention of some of the illegal immigrants picked up in the Phoenix area. Napolitano also said Friday that federal rules regarding local police picking up illegal immigrants would be changed to focus on arresting those charged with violent and serious crimes.
