I know there must be people who really like the state of Missouri. I don’t doubt that it does have a special place in the hearts of some. And to those I have to preemptively apologize. I apologize. I really do not want to alienate those who like being in the state of misery but damn it, every time I go through that god forsaken place I like it even less.
When I rode my Goldwing through the 48 states back in ‘90, Missouri is the only place I was stopped by a LEO (law enforcement officer). The place was miserable to ride through (hot, humid, narrow single lane roads and s l o w drivers). When I have subsequently driven through the state it was impossible to get a motel room. You never knew which motels had vacancies because the morons had not figured out how to spell ‘vacancy’ or ‘no vacancy’ and hang out a sign designating either as to the availability of their rooms. The one room I finally procured was so bad that my wife would not stay in it. We left. I have been through some miserable rain storms there, at night. No, for me, it definitely is the state of misery and I try to avoid it. One last note, way back in the middle 1800s, those living in misery drove out my great-great-grandfather and his family because they were Mormon. To hell with misery.
OK, I feel better now. But I do have to preference the article below so I will have to get worked up all over again. It seems that the absolute moron who tied ‘domestic terrorists’ with opponents of immigration, those opposing abortion, those who supported Ron Paul and Chuck Baldwin was none other than state of misery governor, Jeremiah Nixon. What is even further telling is that our buddy, dinglebarry, tapped Jere as one of his nominations for one of the ten positions on barky’s new “Council of Governors”. This ‘council’ will used to advise barry on “military activities in the United States.” WHAT A LOAD OF BS (barry’s stuff). IT JUST GOES ON AND ON WITH THESE PEOPLE. I SWEAR THEY WANT A HOT REVOLUTION. Damn you, barry and jere.
From wnd.com dated 02/07/2010 by Bob Unruh entitled, “Gov. who linked Christians, violence latest Obama pick Missouri report tied ‘domestic terrorists’ with opposition to abortion, immigration“:
President Obama has picked to advise him on military actions inside the U.S. the Missouri governor whose state “Information Analysis Center” last year linked conservative organizations to domestic terrorism and said law enforcement officers should watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers from Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin.
Missouri Gov. Jeremiah Nixon, a Democrat, is being joined on the Obama’s special advisory panel by the governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuno, and Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s replacement when she moved to Washington.
They are among Obama’s nominations for the 10 positions on Obama’s new “Council of Governors” that he will use for advice on “military activities in the United States.”
WND reported earlier when Obama announced the council to advise on military actions in the U.S. and “to protect our nation against all types of hazards.”
A subsequent WND report confirmed when a rebellion developed to the order, and a new push was launched for states to adopt laws limiting the use of their National Guard units unless there is an invasion, insurrection or other limited circumstance.
The original announcement said the new council is to include governors and administration officials to review “such matters as involving the National Guard of the various states; homeland defense, civil support; synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities.”
However, there was no definition of the group’s authority. Can the council recommend “military activities” and can the governors, who already are in command of their own state guard units, mandate activities outside of their areas of jurisdiction? The White House did not respond to WND questions on the issue.
A new announcement from the White House lists Nixon as one of the nominees.
“He is responsible for operating Missouri’s innovative fusion center, the Missouri Information Analysis Center,” the announcement confirmed.
It was in 2009 when the MIAC issued a report that not only linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism and warned law enforcement to watch for vehicles with bumper stickers promoting Paul and Baldwin, it also warned police to watch out for individuals with “radical” ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.
Ultimately, Chief James Keathley of the Missouri State Patrol said the release of the report caused him to review the procedures through which the report was released.
“My review of the procedures used by the MIAC in the three years since its inception indicates that the mechanism in place for oversight of reports needs improvement,” he said at the time. “Until two weeks ago, the process for release of reports from the MIAC to law enforcement officers around the state required no review by leaders of the Missouri State Highway Patrol or the Department of Public Safety.”
He said the report warning about those who hold Christian views was “created by a MIAC employee, reviewed by the MIAC director, and sent immediately to law enforcement agencies across Missouri. The militia report was never reviewed by me or by the Director of Public Safety, John Britt, at any point prior to its issuance. Had that report been reviewed by either my office or by leaders of the Department of Public Safety, it would never have been released to law enforcement agencies.”
Keathley said the report simply “does not meet” the needed standard for “intelligence.” So he ordered its distribution to be halted.
But that warning had prompted Americans for Legal Immigration to issue a “national advisory” against relying on any such reports.
The Missouri document, it said, “attempted to politicize police and cast suspicion on millions of Americans. The ‘Missouri Documents,’ as they came to be called, listed over 32 characteristics police should watch for as signs or links to domestic terrorists, which could threaten police officers, court officials, and infrastructure targets.
“Police were instructed to look for Americans who were concerned about unemployment, taxes, illegal immigration, gangs, border security, abortion, high costs of living, gun restrictions, FEMA, the IRS, The Federal Reserve, and the North American Union/SPP/North American Community. The ‘Missouri Documents’ also said potential domestic terrorists might like gun shows, short wave radios, combat movies, movies with white male heroes, Tom Clancey novels, and Presidential Candidates Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and Chuck Baldwin!” ALIPAC wrote.
“When many of us read these Missouri Documents we felt that the false connections, pseudo research, and political attacks found in these documents could have been penned by the SPLC and ADL,” said William Gheen of ALIPAC. “We were shocked to see credible law enforcement agencies disseminating the same kind of over the top political propaganda distributed by these groups.”
The Missouri situation was just the tip of the iceberg, however. WND reported only weeks later when a Department of Homeland Security report warned against the possibility of violence by unnamed “right-wing extremists” concerned about illegal immigration, increasing federal power, restrictions on firearms, abortion and the loss of U.S. sovereignty and singled out returning war veterans as particular threats.
The report, titled “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment,” dated April 7, 2009, stated that “threats from white supremacist and violent anti-government groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts.”
However, the document, first reported by talk-radio host and WND columnist Roger Hedgecock, went on to suggest worsening economic woes, potential new legislative restrictions on firearms and “the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.”
The report from DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis defined right-wing extremism in the U.S. as “divided into those groups, movements and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups) and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.”
Most notable was the report’s focus on the impact of returning war veterans.
“Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to right-wing extremists,” it said. “DHS/I&A is concerned that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize veterans in order to boost their violent capacities.”
Now Gov. Nixon will advise Obama on those military and National Guard actions inside the U.S.
“I am pleased that these governors of exceptional experience have agreed to join the Council of Governors,” Obama said in the newest White House announcement. “This bipartisan team strengthens the partnership between our state governments and the federal government when it comes to ensuring our national preparedness and homeland defense.”
“I look forward to working with them in the years ahead,” Obama said of the council, which was created Jan. 11 by his executive order.
The nominees are:
Gov. James H. Douglas of Vermont, a Republican who is chairman of the National Governors Association. He established his state’s Homeland Security Advisory Council to review its security policies.Gov. Chris Gregoire of Washington, a Democrat who is on the National Governors Association executive committee as well as its special committee on Homeland Security.
Gov. Janice Brewer of Arizona, a Republican who took office when Napolitano was named Homeland Security secretary. She served on the governor’s Military Task Force dealing with base closures.
Gov. Luis Fortuna of Puerto Rico, a Republican who is on the National Governors Association Economic Development and Commerce Committee.
Gov. Brad Henry of Oklahoma, a Democrat on the Education, Early Childhood and Workforce committee for the governors association
Gov. Robert McDonnell of Virginia, a Republican elected last year. He is on the governors’ Health and Human Services committee.
Gov. Jeremiah Nixon of Missouri, a Democrat on the governors’ Health and Human Services Committee who operates his state’s fusion center, the Missouri Information Analysis Center.
Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland, a Democrat who serves on the governors’ committee on Education, Early Childhood and Workforce as well as its committee on Homeland Security.
Gov. Beverly Eaves Perdue of North Carolina, a Democrat who is a lead governor for the National Guard. She’s on the governors’ Economic Development and Commerce committee as well as the committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety.
Gov. Michael Rounds of South Dakota, a Republican who previously headed the Western Governors Association.
The rebellion to Obama’s plans regarding the Council of Governors had come from the Tenth Amendment Center, which is recommending a model legislation that states can use to limit the activities of their own National Guard members.
The model legislation states: “The governor shall withhold or withdraw approval of the transfer of the National Guard to federal control in the absence of: a) A military invasion of the United States, or b) An insurrection, or c) A calling forth of the guard by the federal government in a manner provided for by Congress to execute the laws of the union, provided that said laws were made in pursuance of the delegated powers in the Constitution of the United States, or d) A formal declaration of war from Congress.”
The organization said the requests to state legislatures already have begun with a letter on the issue dispatched by Walt Garlington, founder of the Louisiana State Sovereignty Committee, to state Rep. Brett F. Geymann.
The model legislation proposed by the Tenth Amendment Center says the law is, “For the purpose of requiring the governor to withhold or withdraw approval of the transfer of this state’s National Guard to federal control in the absence of an explicit authorization adopted by the federal government in pursuance of the powers delegated to the federal government in Article I, Section 8, Clause 15 of the U.S. Constitution.”
Los Angeles Times blogger Andrew Malcolm poked fun at the announcement, writing Obama “has determined that, a) there is an insufficient number of advisory bodies among the gazillion already in existence for the federal government in general and said president and his White House specifically.”
Obama also, Malcolm said, “chooses to ignore the existence of the National Governors Assn., the Republican Governors Assn., the Democratic Governors Assn. and the secure telephones within arms-reach of virtually everywhere said president chooses to sit and/or recline.”
Ultimately, he said, Obama has decided, “One more meaningless advisory body probably couldn’t hurt anything, and might actually look good.”
At Canada Free Press, commentary writer Judi McLeod said, “Like the 30-plus czars running America with neither the people’s nor the Congress’s blessings, the Council of Governors is already a done deal.”
Blogger Nicholas Contompasis suggested it was the “first step towards martial law in America” because it sets up the “use of federal troops and the combination of state and federal agencies under the Defense Department.”
Participants on his forum page said the order appears to be in defiance of posse comitatus, which restricts U.S. military action within the United States. One contributor noted the order talks about “hazards” but then addresses only military hazards.
“The very notion of the executive branch (good intentions or not) issuing executive orders/presidential directives that apply to anything or anyone not specifically within the executive branch is tyrannical,” the forum participant said.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who
Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), 77, a Vietnam veteran who staunchly supported military spending and became a master of pork-barrel politics, died today following gallbladder surgery at Virginia Hospital Center.
The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of transmitted disease. The disease is contracted through ignorant, promiscuous, and irresponsible behavior. The disease is called Gonarrhea Lectem and is pronounced “gonna re-elect ‘em.”
For incumbent Democratic Senator Blanche Lambert Lincoln, the opponents are interchangeable at this point in her bid for reelection in Arkansas. New Rasmussen Reports polling in the state finds her stuck in the mid-30s against any of five Republican opponents.
Republicans already counting the seats they will pick up this fall should keep in mind Obama has a big card yet to play.
It would seem that hidden amongst the Multitude of Miracles performed by “The One,” Obama, America’s homeless population has disappeared! Had you noticed? Practically no stories in the Mainstream Media about the poor, downtrodden, homeless people of America certainly must mean they no longer exist, right? It’s another Obama miracle, right?
