Your corrupt DOJ-gives-another-corrupt Democrat-a-pass story of the day
By Michelle Malkin • January 26, 2010 11:18 AM
Let’s see. Corruptocrat Attorney General Eric Holder gave the New Black Panther Party thugs a pass. And he gave pay-for-play corruptocrat Bill Richardson a pass.
Who’s the lucky winner today?
Democrat Rep. Alan “Cheat River” Mollohan of West Virginia.
You may recall that he was forced to step down from the House Ethics Committee four years ago in the wake of publicity over his shoddy financial disclosure forms and a National Legal and Policy Center complaint documenting shady real estate dealings.
Holder waved his magic wanded and ended a DOJ probe of the cesspool today. Poof:

Holder waved his magic wanded and ended a DOJ probe of the cesspool today. Poof:
The Justice Department has shuttered its nearly four-year investigation into the personal finances of Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.), freeing the 14-term lawmaker to pursue what could be a tough bid for reelection without the lingering cloud of a federal criminal probe.Mum’s the word.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia had been overseeing an investigation of Mollohan, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, for steering roughly $250 million in line-item expenditures to several nonprofit organizations run by close friends, who also were real estate partners with him.
Mollohan’s office was notified this month that the investigation had been closed without criminal charges filed. Federal prosecutors declined to elaborate on what the investigation had found.
“We’re not going to get into any details, but I can confirm we’ve closed the investigation into Alan Mollohan,” Ben Friedman, spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, said Monday evening.

Chosin
In the winter of 1950, at the height of America's "forgotten war," fifteen thousand US Soldiers and Marines found themselves surrounded by an overwhelming force of communist Chinese soldiers in the frozen mountains of North Korea. After sixty years of silence, the men who survived finally tell their story.
The veterans of Chosin take us back to towering mountains stained with blackened, blood-covered snow. Most of them are just kids -- 18 or 19 years old -- and they are outnumbered and cut off behind enemy lines. As the sun goes down each night, bugles and war-cries echo through the mountains, followed by massive human wave attacks lasting until dawn. Sub-zero temperatures render weapons inoperable and fighting devolves into terrifying nights of savage hand-to-hand combat. Unable to dig into the frozen ground, the Marines build parapets out of dead bodies in order to withstand each night’s onslaught. Despite overwhelming odds, the men never lose faith in each other. They refuse to surrender and instead fight their way to freedom through 78 miles of unforgiving, mountainous terrain.
The 1st Marine Division suffered over 4,000 killed and wounded but saved the lives of 98,000 refugees fleeing communist rule in North Korea. Seventeen Medals of Honor and 70 Navy Crosses were awarded to the heroes of this campaign, making it one of the most decorated battles in American history. Chosin will be the first documentary film to tell their incredible story.

Obama Information Czar Calls For Banning Free Speech
Sunstein: Taxation and censorship of dissenting opinions "will have a place" under thought police program advocated in 2008 white paper

The controversy surrounding White House information czar and Harvard Professor Cass Sunstein's blueprint for the government to infiltrate political activist groups has deepened, with the revelation that in the same 2008 dossier he also called for the government to tax or even ban outright political opinions of which it disapproved.
Sunstein was appointed by President Obama to head up the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, an agency within the Executive Office of the President.
On page 14 of Sunstein's January 2008 white paper entitled "Conspiracy Theories," the man who is now Obama's head of information technology in the White House proposed that each of the following measures "will have a place under imaginable conditions" according to the strategy detailed in the essay.
1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing.
2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories.
That's right, Obama's information czar wants to tax or ban outright, as in make illegal, political opinions that the government doesn't approve of. To where would this be extended? A tax or a shut down order on newspapers that print stories critical of our illustrious leaders?
And what does Sunstein define as "conspiracy theories" that should potentially be taxed or outlawed by the government? Opinions held by the majority of Americans, no less.
The notion that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone in killing JFK, a view shared by the vast majority of Americans in every major poll over the last ten years, is an example of a "conspiracy theory" that the federal government should consider censoring, according to Sunstein.
A 1998 CBS poll found that just 10 per cent of Americans believed that Oswald acted alone, so apparently the other 90 per cent of Americans could be committing some form of thought crime by thinking otherwise under Sunstein's definition.
Sunstein also cites the belief that "global warming is a deliberate fraud" as another marginal conspiracy theory to be countered by government action. In reality, the majority of Americans now believe that the man-made explanation of global warming is not true, and that global warming is natural, according to the latest polls.
But Sunstein saves his most ludicrous example until last. On page 5 he characterizes as "false and dangerous" the idea that exposure to sunlight is healthy, despite the fact that top medical experts agree prolonged exposure to sunlight reduces the risk of developing certain cancers.
To claim that encouraging people to get out in the sun is to peddle a dangerous conspiracy theory is like saying that promoting the breathing of fresh air is also a thought crime. One can only presume that Sunstein is deliberately framing the debate by going to such absurd extremes so as to make any belief whatsoever into a conspiracy theory unless it's specifically approved by the kind of government thought police system he is pushing for.
Despite highlighting the fact that repressive societies go hand in hand with an increase in "conspiracy theories," Sunstein's 'solution' to stamp out such thought crimes is to ban free speech, fulfilling the precise characteristic of the "repressive society" he warns against elsewhere in the paper.
"We could imagine circumstances in which a conspiracy theory became so pervasive, and so dangerous, that censorship would be thinkable," he writes on page 20. Remember that Sunstein is not just talking about censoring Holocaust denial or anything that's even debatable in the context of free speech, he's talking about widely accepted beliefs shared by the majority of Americans but ones viewed as distasteful by the government, which would seek to either marginalize by means of taxation or outright censor such views.
No surprise therefore that Sunstein has called for re-writing the First Amendment as well as advocating Internet censorship and even proposing that Americans should celebrate tax day and be thankful that the state takes a huge chunk of their income.
The government has made it clear that growing suspicion towards authority is a direct threat to their political agenda and indeed Sunstein admits this on page 3 of his paper.
That is why they are now engaging in full on information warfare in an effort to undermine, disrupt and eventually outlaw organized peaceful resistance to their growing tyranny.

EVERYONE needs to watch this, and send the link to everyone you know.
Anyone (like Barack Obama) entertaining ideas of western democracies establishing friendly relations with the radicals of the Islamic world should watch this video.While watching the inflammatory rhetoric of the speaker, remember that this is not a Jihadists from Iran but a professor from Kuwait - a country with every reason to be grateful to the USA for liberating it from the tyranny of Saddam Husseins invasion.
In case the embeded video doesn't load, here is the link to it.
