At a carefully staged faux “Rock Star” reception at CIA HQ on Monday, Weasel in Chief, a.k.a. the Marxist trained community organizer, who divulged State Secrets when he didn’t need to, said no one involved with enhanced interrogations would be prosecuted… BTW, this propaganda was twittered to all the lamestream media with the buzzword “Rock Star” describing the reception at CIA so all the liberal droids masquerading as news reporters could dutifully parrot the phrase… And they did...
You need to watch the video of the reception at CIA and judge for yourself. I found it interesting that he said, “Mistakes were made” yet we’ve not been attacked here in the US since 9/11, and “Terrorists are not constrained by a Constitution.” That hit home… What he was really saying is he considers the Constitution of the United States a constraint! Very telling… Then he told members of the faux Rock Star reception that there would be no recrimination or investigations against people involved with the enhanced interrogations… until Tuesday when that changed…
What happened? Did all the radical left uber liberals from MoveOn.org or George Sorros who helped him get elected call in their IOUs to the chosen one Monday night? Perhaps he had an epiphany after returning to the White House and TOTUS jumped ugly on him? In any event, Tuesday he says he will leave prosecution of Bush administration officials who developed or provided legal opinions on the policy for enhanced interrogation methods and techniques up to AG Holder… Any bets this will come to pass??? The odds are even money…
So much for Anti-Americanism and America Bashing… Not! The Marxist trained community organizer has made that an administration policy!
His comment on the “moral bearing” of those involved with the interrogation policy was exceptional… and only shows the true audacity of this uber radical liberal and Marxist trained community organizer who supports infanticide and voted to euthanize babies from botched abortions not to mention voting for abortions throughout his political career… That is some moral bearing he has… and it’s pointed straight to hell!
For the record, all military combat pilots and special forces warfare types go through Survival Evasion Resistance Escape (SERE) training including yours truly… It’s been required training since the mid to late1950s… There are a few others here at CH.com that have gone through this same training.
We all received physicals and psychological evaluations prior to attending and yes we experienced the same interrogation methods and techniques that the Marxist trained community organizer gift wrapped and gave to the terrorists of the world. The enhanced interrogation methods and techniques we experienced during SERE training included a combination of water boarding, sleep and food deprivation, facial slaps that water your eyes, “walling,” coffin boxes and dog houses so small and cramped they cut the circulation to your legs, a constant stream of verbal abuse designed to break you down psychologically, and much more.
For reference, I went through SERE training at the Air Force’s Eglin reservation, FL shortly after I was commission as a Navy Ensign in 1967, and I also went through the Navy’s SERE school at Camp Warner Springs, CA in 1970 just prior to deployment in a fighter squadron on USS Hancock to Vietnam. Neither course was pleasant, but the training was mandatory, and it prepared us for what could happen if we were shot down. If you’re doing the math that was 39 years ago and this form of SERE training started ten years earlier. Tens of thousands have attended since then so this didn’t start after 9/11… And you can bet al Qaeda terrorists are busy setting up their own SERE training camps as we speak.
The Marxist trained community organizer doesn’t care that he’s made us less safe from attacks of terrorism… He’s insulated himself from any recriminations by passing this off to Attorney General Holder by pulling a Clinton, who, when questioned about his administration’s role in the Ruby Ridge and Waco Texas government perpetrated massacres by saying, “Talk to Attorney General Janet Reno… She was in charge…”
The only thing the Marxist trained community organizer cares about in this matter is that he’s perpetuated Bush bashing and Bush Derangement Syndrome so he can blame anything bad that happens during his term in office on Bush…
Good people of Clusterville, what we have here is very dirty politics. In reality, it’s little more than banana republic politics topped off with a dose of Chicago mob mentality where the party that wins the election prosecutes the party that lost in order to eliminate the competition.
This is also very damaging to our National intelligence community… Not only do they need to guard against threats posed by our enemies… now they need to guard against attacks from within the US by ambulance chasing lawyers and uber liberal idiot politicians that want to destroy our Nation anyway and take us into communism or worse….
I know there are some of you that feel political discussions like this have no place on the boards so permit me make this discussion a bit more relevant…
We are cluster headache sufferers and supporters and the fact that we gather here at CH.com creates a powerful bond few other groups enjoy. The medications we require are essential in maintaining an acceptable quality of life. While not optimum, these medications are far better than suffering the terrible pain we would need to endure all too frequently without any means of intervention…
Now here’s where the rubber meets the road… politics, and more importantly, politicians and their political appointees, are shaping laws, policies, and regulations that affect the availability and quantity of these essential medications. It’s no secret there is already rationing associated with imitrex (sumatriptan succinate) injections. Some are limited by their healthcare coverage to nine such injections a month…
That limit was imposed as a result of Pharmacy Clinical Policy Bulletins developed by Medical Insurance companies to limit their exposure to the expense of providing costly medications used by migraine sufferers... not cluster headache sufferers.
Politicians and political appointees play a major role on rationing our medications as well… The Commissioner of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission gets involved by recommending policy on matters like this to the White House Office of Health Reform as well as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was also involved. CMS and HHS are run by political appointees… most of whom are faithfully executing a strategy that favors government run Universal Health Care and also to reduce costs.
Not surprisingly, one of the big pharmaceutical companies played a role in all this by suggesting nine injections a month as the maximum limit of dosing for migraine sufferers to ensure a consistent revenue stream from these medications… and lobbying Congress to make it so…
There’s also legislation that is effectively limiting home oxygen therapy by forcing competitive bidding for these services paid for through Medicare and Medicaid and also placing a cap on expenses that home care delivery companies can charge for maintenance. Due to the unintended consequences of poorly written legislation, the competitive bidding provisions called for by this legislation have been temporarily put on hold as net effect would put thousands of Mom & Pop home healthcare providers out of business making delivery expenses that are recoverable, much higher as the essential home oxygen supplies would need to be trucked greater distances by the larger firms that won the competitive bids…
Too many cluster headache sufferers are still having problems getting oxygen therapy as the rules governing coverage for these medical expenses are based exclusively on legislation and policy set by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services at HHS in treating people suffering from COPD… not cluster headaches.
When you boil this down you can see that politics, politicians, and political appointees have, and will continue to have, the potential to impact the quality of your life as cluster headache sufferers and supporters.
Unlike the big pharmaceutical and medical insurance firms or their lobbyists who line the pockets of politicians with political donations to keep them in office, we don’t have a lobby that can go up on the hill to plead our plight as cluster headache sufferers. That mission is up to each of us as cluster headache sufferers and supporters by contacting the members of Congress from our respective States to let them know how damaging their legislation is becoming to our wellbeing.
On a related note, the Cap in Trade legislation (read carbon tax) is back in the spotlight with hearings up on the hill and it should concern you… Even the Marxist trained community organizer says passage of this legislation he proposed said, “Electricity costs will skyrocket.”

Estimates indicate as much as a $700 to $1,200 increase in yearly electric utility costs. OBTW, that doesn’t include other fossil fuel energy consuming activities like driving, flying, or manufacturing, growing, and trucking the goods you buy or the food you eat to market. The total increase in cost of the Cap in Trade legislation could reach $3000 per family a year.
Even the oracle of Omaha shoots holes in this bit of legislation…

You can bury your head in the sand saying you don’t’ care or that political discussion don’t belong here on the CH.com boards… You have every right to say that… However, if you took the time to get involved, you would soon find that politics and politicians are affecting us as cluster headache sufferers and supporters in many ways and as US citizens, in more ways than ever…
Take care,
V/R, Batch
