Apparently deciding one ongoing, undeclared war was not enough, our president of peace has committed 100 U.S. soldiers to central Africa to fight the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). That announcement came Friday, two days after deployment. In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner on Friday, Barack Obama wrote “the U.S. forces are combat-equipped,” but — not to worry — “they will only be providing information, advice, and assistance to partner nation forces, and they will not themselves engage LRA forces unless necessary for self-defense.” The president asserted that his action was taken in “furtherance of the Congress’s stated policy,” citing the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009, which encourages greater “military” cooperation to defeat the LRA. However, he concluded, “I have directed this deployment, which is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive.” This has some questioning whether this is a second war-by-decree, following the still-simmering conflict in Libya.

Ironically, Obama closed the letter, “I am making this report as part of my efforts to keep the Congress fully informed, consistent with the War Powers Resolution” — an act he is currently violating in Libya.

No, the intervention does not mean Obama is actively targeting Christians for death — although we already did that in our intervention to subject Christian Serbia to the tender mercies of Muslim Kosovars. However, some find the hand of George Soros’ internationalists behind the intervention. Aaron Klein at WND.com notes:

In April 2010 Soros’ International Crisis Group, or ICG, released a report sent to the White House and key lawmakers advising the U.S. military run special operations in Uganda to seek Kony’s capture…

Soros sits in the ICG’s executive board along with Samuel Berger, Bill Clinton’s former national security advisor; George J. Mitchell, former U.S. Senate Majority Leader who served as a Mideast envoy to both Obama and President Bush; and Javier Solana, a socialist activist who is NATO’s former secretary-general as well as the former foreign affairs minister of Spain.

Jimmy Carter‘s national security advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, is the ICG’s senior advisor.

The ICG’s president emeritus is Gareth Evans, who, together with activist Ramesh Thakur, is the original founder of the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, with the duo even coining the term “responsibility to protect.”

(CNSNews.com) – U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, a Clinton appointee, has ruled that the Justice Department does not need to release emails Solicitor General Elena Kagan sent from her DOJ email account to people in the White House—in which she discussed her recusal decisions as solicitor general—because the emails were “used for a purely personal objective.”

CNSNews.com and Judicial Watch were seeking public release of the emails through lawsuits filed under the Freedom of Information Act.

The “purely personal objective” cited by the judge was Kagan’s goal of being confirmed to the United States Supreme Court.

At issue is whether Kagan must recuse herself as a Supreme Court Justice when the cases challenging the constitutionality of Obamacare reach the court.

Kagan was the Obama administration’s solicitor general—charged with defending the administration’s positions in federal court cases–at the time President Obama’s health-care plan was enacted and when Virginia and Florida filed lawsuits against that health-care plan in federal court.

It’s clear that the Democrats have “party envy,” even as they cast sneering glances at the Tea Party, which everyone assumes to be a primarily Republican organization. With the recent formation of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, some Dems are beginning to see the possibilities of having their own Tea Party-like organization in the hapless shlubs protesting against America’s billionaires.

In the past few days President Obama, Vice-President Joe Biden and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi have all weighed in with sympathetic noises about OWS’s aims. Obama stated that he understood where they were coming from, being unemployed and all, while those evil billionaires refused to pay “their fair share” of taxes. Biden claimed that Wall Street has broken “the contract” with the American people, implying that the Street’s greed is responsible for the current economic malaise, while the billionaires’ best friends, the Republicans are blocking the creation of 1.9 million new private sector jobs through opposition to the president’s “Jobs Bill.”

As such, to many top Democrats the OWS crew looks like a winning candidate as the answer to the Tea Party. Except that it isn’t. The Tea Party is comprised of working Americans who want the government to get out of their faces. They are advocates for smaller governments with less spending and more mindful of the Constitution.

OWS, on the other hand, is largely comprised of neutered, over-educated and useless losers, many of whom don’t even know why they’re demonstrating, except that it might wind up somehow providing them with free stuff. Those few “intellectuals” in the OWS crowd who have bothered to articulate some end results can generously be deemed an embarrassment, because their ideas consist largely of warmed over Marxist pap that’s gone out of vogue around the globe, except in places like Venezuela and North Korea. Oh yes, and in the White House as well. And when they aren’t espousing socialist pabulum, they betray a monumental lack of understanding of how the world works, as seen in their demand that all debt be forgiven.

If the Dems do somehow manage to organize this rabble into some sort of coherent organization, I recommend the name “Flea Party” because it has a catchy ring to it, as well as being representative of the organization’s substance.

Flea Party, because their ideas are reminiscent of a flea market or garage sale where you can get old stuff cheap.

Flea Party, because their public presence is akin to a flea circus complete with flea freaks and flea clowns.

Flea Party, because their outdated worldview is evocative of an old, mangy, flea-bitten dog whose best days are long in the past.

With Greece on the precipice of default and Portugal and Italy approaching the ledge, the European monetary union appears in peril.

Should it collapse, the European Union itself could be in danger, for economic nationalism is rising in Europe. Which raises a larger question.

Is the New World Order, the great 20th century project of Western transnational elites, unraveling?

The NWO dates back as far as Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations, which a Republican Senate refused to enter. FDR, seeking to succeed where his mentor had failed, oversaw the creation of a United Nations, an International Monetary Fund and a World Bank.

In 1951 came the European Coal and Steel Community, love child of Jean Monnet, which evolved into the European Economic Community, the European Community and the European Union. A European Central Bank and a new currency, the euro, followed.

Old military truism: The bad stuff settles at the bottom.

I wasn’t in basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio for three days when I heard that. It came from S.Sgt. Wallace Tidwell, my military training instructor, who was a Tennessee good ‘ol boy.

Tidwell, who stood about 5 feet 8 inches tall and was as wide as a Sherman tank, didn’t use the term “bad stuff.” He chose a word that was a bit more scatological in nature.

That was the military; now that I’m a journalist, the truism has changed. The “bad stuff” doesn’t settle at the bottom. It kind of rises to the top.

That means when bad stuff happens, it’s those in charge, not those at the bottom, who need to be held accountable.
