Another Doctored Image Deepens Obama Mystery

Filmmaker claims black man removed from 2012 campaign Facebook image

 

Does a family photograph of a young Barack Obama posted on the president’s Facebook campaign page offer a clue to the identity of his real father?

A professional graphic artist who examined the 1973 photo believes the image of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, was airbrushed into the scene to cover up an African-American man who was standing next to Obama at the Honolulu airport.

Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, who commissioned the analysis, told WND there’s substantial evidence that the man in the original photograph was Frank Marshall Davis, the Communist Party member, pro-Soviet propagandist and pornographer who played a fatherly role in Obama’s teen years.

Gary Glenn's Withdrawal from the Michigan Race for US Senate

During the past year and through an exhaustive vetting process, thousands of grassroots Michigan patriots came to recognize in Gary Glenn an extraordinary love of country, sense of history, devotion to duty and abundant gifts of leadership and communication.  Unfortunately, not enough of our fellow citizens take their civic responsibilities as seriously as the dedicated men and women of nearly fifty Michigan TEA Party organizations.  For most Michiganders, like most Americans, political decisions are based on the best, most persuasive and often negative TV ads.  Such a system, unfortunately, favors incumbents and those with significant financial resources.  Thus, despite a zealous network of dedicated volunteers, it was not possible for Gary to combat the TV ads of a longtime establishment political figure and a monied corporate executive.

Nevertheless, those thousands who heard Gary Glenn speak from the heart of his love of country and determination to save it from socialists forcing greater government control over every aspect of our lives, will not soon forget this principled, conservative patriot.  As our national crisis continues and deepens, Americans will look more and more to people like Gary Glenn to restore America to her Constitutional mooring and its safeguards of liberty and justice for all.

We have no doubt that Gary's withdrawal from the Michigan Senate race is a temporary setback for him and for the cause of freedom.  If America is to be saved, God has a great plan for dutiful servants like Gary Glenn.

The Chickens of Globalization Come Home to Roost

By Patrick J. Buchanan

Mitt Romney is today the beneficiary of some desperate counsel from alarmed Republicans on how to escape the snare in which he has found himself.

 

Democrats are charging that Mitt was still chairman and CEO of Bain Capital between 1999 and 2002, when the company was advising some of America's premier outsourcers.

 

The facts are in dispute. But the evidence seems on the side of the Romney camp -- that Mitt did not run Bain after he went off to fix the Salt Lake City Olympics. Yet the matter raises a larger question.

 

A Blow to the Patriotic Association: the Bishop of Shanghai a Prophet and Hero

From AsiaNews.it

By Bernardo Cervellera

Bishop Ma Daqin, by refusing the imposition of hands from an excommunicated bishop and quitting the Patriotic Association, is upholding the very religious freedom that the Chinese constitution guarantees, but that is betrayed by religious regulations. His rejection of the Patriotic Association has theological reasons (the PA is "incompatible with Catholic doctrine"), but also pastoral and social. For months, pastors are kept at a distance from their dioceses, on a tour of government sponsored banquets while their faithful have to face poverty. The "opportunist" bishops are like tasteless salt. The value of the lay faithful in reconciliation with the pope.

Vatican City (AsiaNews) - A prophet and a hero, this is how many Chinese Catholics - and we with them - define the first steps of the newly elected auxiliary bishop of Shanghai, Msgr. Ma Thaddeus Daqin. In just one day, the day of his consecration on July 7, he rejected the imposition of hands by an excommunicated bishop; did not drink from the same cup of the illicit bishop; publicly resigned from the Patriotic Association (PA), considering this an obstacle to his "pastoral and evangelization work."

The Religious Affairs Bureau did not like this perfectly aimed blow and has confined him to house arrest in the Sheshan seminary, for a forced period of "rest".
