A Red Dawn: The Gathering Storm of The Tea Party
By Pablo Fanque
National Affairs Editor
The Democratic Party posted this fascinating web ad yesterday.
We've been saying this for a while--while the left and center seem to laugh them off, the tea party, Michelle Bachman, Dr. Paul, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, and the others ARE a threat.
It's a new dawn. And it's kind of like a Red Dawn.

The Ink Spots: If I Didn't Care
These guys made a lot of incredible music in the 30's and 40's, and heavily influenced R & B, Doo Wop, and Rock and Roll. I have really been enjoying their music these days.

Alien Lore No. 179 - UFOs over Seattle this summer
This summer, there seem to have been numerous UFOs visiting the City of Seattle. The following were all reported by The National UFO Reporting Center (which coincidentally is located in Seattle, although soon relocating to an abandoned ICBM missile base in Eastern Washington). [click all images to enlarge]
Report 1: July 2010. "This is the most awe-inspiring moment of my life and I was somewhat sad to see them leave. I really felt like I had seen something extraordinary.
"Looking in the sky to the west to slight northwest on Saturday night at 23:15, I saw about 30 orb-type lights or balls in the sky at about 90 degrees in a pattern that gave off a glow in the night sky.
.jpg)
"The glow was orange and red, but the formation gave off a red orange and a little twinkling, gold color. We watched it for about 6 minutes, then it seemed as half of the formation disappeared, not all at once, but within a second or two.
"Then the other part of the formation left or became invisible, leaving behind two balls that seemed larger or closer. These two orbs remained stationary for about 5 seconds before one of the two took off straight up.
"Then about 7 seconds after the first of the remaining two orbs left, the last one left or followed the rest into the night sky.
"The formation of the UFOs took up a large portion of the sky and seemed massive." Source: http://www.nuforc.org/
Report 2: 07-17-10, City of Seattle - "The formation/armada was huge. I was looking at stars with my dad over Puget Sound when I looked west and saw 28-30 reddish, orange orbs stationary in the sky.
"These were not florescent lights like we use on earth, it was more like a different type of light, an energy ball that had a golden tint around the formation of UFOs.
"I felt that there was a tremendous amount of radiant energy coming off of the sun-like orbs. The armada/formation of UFOs was only here for approximately 10 minutes before they vanished into thin air, like smoke." Source: www.nuforc.org
Report 3: 7-17-10, City of Seattle - "At approximately 23:28 PM, PST, in Seattle, Washington, my wife and I received a phone call from her parents (who live 1 block away), about some interesting lights in the sky over Beacon Hill (also in Seattle).
"We were told to immediately come outside and look towards the sky (due west) and see them for ourselves.
"We then saw 25+ orange-lighted objects which appeared to blink in and out as they dimmed in the upper atmosphere. They all appeared to be moving in the same direction (towards the northeast) and all seemed to stem from the same location.
"They were only visible for about 3-5 minutes. Three airplanes were seen in the sky as well (heading to SeaTac Airport to land).
"We took video on our camera, but only a couple of the objects were barely visible through the street lights. You could see the airplane clearly. Unless something is reported on our local news media stations, we are assuming that these were indeed UFOs, and a lot of them.
"We also called the local news stations to report the incident, and they informed us that they had not received any other calls about it, but would look into it." Source: www.nuforc.org
Report 4: 7-17-10 - "My daughter and I were outside, and this object went above us heading straight due north. It was a light, silver-colored disc with a bottom that was about half the size of the craft.
"The half-round bottom looked as though it may have been translucent, its color was grayish and slightly opalescent.
"When the craft passed over what was probably SeaTac Airport, it became very, very bright and looked like a star. But only roughly 6-7 seconds later, it dimmed again and we could still see its disc/orb outline.
"We watched it as far as our eyes would allow. My daughter mentioned the uncanny lack of air traffic as this object moved over the airport area.
"About two minutes after we could no longer see it, we saw a plane come from the airport area. We did not observe the object come from the South - it seemed to just appear in the sky out of nowhere. It was east of us when looking north." Source: www.nuforc.org

Is Barack Obama An Intentional One Term President?
By Pablo Fanque
All This Is That National Affairs Editor
We've written about this before here. . .In his first year and a half in office, BHO took on a lot of difficult tasks, and succeeded at many of them. Notably, while in the middle of pushing for financial reforms and trying to prop up a faltering economy, he tackled health care reform. He has taken on a number of other reforms. He has already in his first two years, successfully seated two nominees on the Supreme Court. George W. Bush also placed two nominees--in eight years. On the other hand, President Bush also failed in one nomination--the disastrous and almost laughable nomination of his White House Counsel Harriet Miers. Bill Clinton also placed two people on The Supremes. BHO has also taken on some almost pointless issues, like bringing his old professor and a cop to the White House for a mediation over beers on the lawn. Or, when he recently spoke out about the proposed Muslim center in downtown Manhattan (about which he was absolutely right, but had nothing to gain) which is unlikely to ever be built, since they only have a few thousand dollars in the bank. He has nothing to gain, and is unlikely to really even influence people on these sorts of wedge issues.
Almost out of the gate, President Obama seemed to act as if a second term didn't really matter. The U.K.'s Telegraph had an interesting article this weekend, "Does Barack Obama want to be re-elected in 2012?" While I doubt the veracity and analysis of a British 'paper analyzing the U.S. Presidency, they have a point.
Almost everything Obama does these days suggests that he doesn't care much about being re-elected. He may want to be re-elected, but it feels like he isn't really sweating it one way or the other. Strange as it might seem, perhaps he wants to be a one-term president. And, let's face it, in an eight year term as President, you spend at least three of those years either running for re-election or functioning as either a virtual--or real!--lame duck.
