Haslam signs Confederate Plate Bill, forgets he signed it, calls for it’s removal

Haslam signs Confederate Plate Bill, forgets he signed it, calls for it’s removal

Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam in a speech yesterday at Volkswagen said he was against the Confederate Flag being on license plates in TN.

In 2012, Governor Bill Haslam, Speaker of the Senate Ron Ramsey, House Speaker Beth Harwell signed a bill to allow the Confederate Flag to be stamped on Tennessee motorcycles, a bill which complements a car version signed by then Democratic Speaker Jimmy Naifeh and Governor Don Sundquist in 2002.

According to an article sighted by the Times Free Press and interview of Haslam, he showed much confusion as he was confronted about the Confederate License Plate bill he signed.

“Haslam said that he wasn’t aware that the flag is stamped on some plates, but “I’d be in favor of discontinuing it.”

According to the TFP “Haslam signed the bill approving the Confederate license plates for motorcycles on March 14, 2012. The bill passed the state Senate and House by wide margins. The vote in the Senate was 27-3, and in the House voted 82-6 in favor, with one person voting present.” 

“The plate, which features the stars and bars of the confederacy on the left side of the plate, is available to Tennessee drivers for an annual fee of $56.50, with $15.38 allocated to the Tennessee Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans, according to the website of the Tennessee Department of Veterans Affairs.”

“The plate can be personalized with five characters for a total fee of $91.50. The typical fee for a license plate is $35, according to the website. ”

Its true. On March 14th,  2012, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, along with Ramsey and Harwell signed Senate Bill 2169 into law allowing Tn citizens to purchase a Confederate License plate for use on their vehicle.

Today, Tn Governor Bill Haslam calls for the elimination of Confederate License plate that he signed into law just a few years ago.

For one, this speaks volumes about bills passed in Tennessee and when the political winds shifts so does the mindset of a shifty politician along with or without their support. It largely depends on who is in their pocket.

Two, this speaks to how out of touch and hypocritical Haslam is within his own state where one minute he signs a bill, forgets he signs it, then calls for all license plates bearing the Confederate Flag to be removed. 

Readers also remember each call to limit others freedom of speech will eventually lead to restrictions on your free speech as well. Soon, we are all offended by each other and we will have no freedoms or the ability to express ourselves freely. We will all be divided and separated into our own pods with people like us daring not to venture from that border with out our own sets of rules  and beliefs being violated. This is a slippery slope we are slipping on and it will only lead to less rights now enjoyed by all. 

This is the Change our current president spoke of and our liberal law makers are creating it’s path.

God bless America!

Common Core: Libyan owned Pearson at the core of TN Governor Bill Haslams Islamic policies in our state

Common Core: Libyan owned Pearson at the core of TN Governor Bill Haslams Islamic policies in our state

In the last few years we have seen a movement in our country to nationalize our educational system, to implement Common Core in all our schools. 

Inside the schools, the most drastic change has been an overwhelming  theme of driving acceptance of different religions in our schools, particularly the overwhelming influence of Islam and Sharia law! I was left with the overwhelming question as to why such a push toward acceptance of multiple religions, in light of the recent push by the left to eliminate “religious” influence from our schools the last 40 years or so.

I believe I have followed the money trail to Pearson Education and our own TN State Governor Bill Haslam, with many assorted tentacles intertwined to deliver Haslams brand of bad policy towards education reform. Together they are deliberately spearheading this drastic change in tandem by implementing pro-Islamic literature and a global policy agenda that supports acceptance and integration of Islam into our communities. 

In my research, I had to look no further than the middle east, to Lybia and the regime of the late Muammar Gadaffi, Bill Haslam, Pearson Education and assorted friends for a connection.

Lybia and their regime own 26 million shares of Pearson stock, a huge 4 percent share, valued at nearly one half billion dollars. 

The LIA, Lybian Investment Authority and five members of Gaddafi’s family own the stock. With a Pearson portfolio this huge it surely carries great influence on the content inside it’s books and on our elected leaders. (See links below)

In the middle east, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood have invested heavily in Pearson Education and K-12 learning vehicles. 

It has even been reported by Bill Korach, at http://www.thereportcard.org 
that Pearson owners are deeply involved in the Muslim Brotherhood and linked to CAIR.  “Muslim Brotherhood documents seized by the FBI and presented at the Holy Land Foundation Trial in Texas revealed a plan by the Muslim Brotherhood and their subsidiary organizations like CAIR to penetrate and indoctrinate American K-12 students.”

” Key Pearson textbook consultants on Islam, Susan Douglass and Shabbir Mansuri have both been connected to the Muslim Brotherhood and voiced strong support of Islamic Madrassah, Islamic schools where hate for Jews and Christians is a daily lesson. (At the very least) The Pearson Libyan connection and others who may own Pearson bear deeper scrutiny.”

As perhaps one of the strongest lobbying groups in the US, you can easily see how Pearson educational books content could be swayed to contain an Islamic bias and may well explain the strong Islamic literature contained within many of their books.

Pearson has reportedly “frozen” Gaddafi’s holdings and the only explanation given was to keep his regime from funding Jihad against the Lybian people during the 2011 uprising. No mention of freezing the assets because of it’s influence on our K-12 system or on our Common Core curriculum. It has been reported that Pearson has gone on to say that this controversy has not affected their business greatly in the Middle East.

It seems wherever there is Islamic influence, Middle East money or big oil influence, the money trail always seem to end up in Tennessee and to Tn Governor Bill Haslam. It just seems this way. If it makes money Haslam seems to have his hands near it and allows it to influence his decision making in our state of Tennessee.

It appears Haslam is up to his neck tie in special interest or middle east money. His obvious actions listed below shows him extremely involved, a willing vessel for acceptance or the luckiest man on earth possibly making hundreds of millions on his educational endeavors. Figure in his TN Secretary of Education nominee Kevin Huffman and you have the perfect cocktail to make money off his endeavors into education reform,ie, Common Core, testing materials, online education tools, elearning modules, textbooks and assorted computer software for it’s implementation. It’s a strong suspicion with many links and warrants heavier scrutiny, perhaps in another opinion piece.  

Enter TN Governor Bill Haslam! 

If participation and facilitation make you a guilty party to benefitting off Common Core implementation and all it’s tentacles, then actions and outright policy changes to benefit self makes you part of the problem and responsible for the recent influx of Islamic and Sharia influence in our state, and renders you guilty.

Timelines and pointed data do more to establish this connection and basically renders fact and conjuncture along an organized path for easier consumption, for this reason I am a fan. Critics find it very difficult to dispute facts with links in an organized fashion. This once again tells me that where the flak is heaviest I have a confirmed target!

Let’s just look at what we do know then follow up on my research, then we draw our own conclusions, hopefully piecing the big puzzle together. Remember, this data is based on my opinion first and then while looking for facts I attempt to substantiate and support my claims. Some link up, some don’t. Please consume the info, make your own mind up, and if you find it palatable, pass it along to your friends.

This grouping of assumptions and facts do not follow a specific “timeline” but are instead grouped according to topic with discussion. Enjoy the read.

1) One of the first actions of our Governor was to put out a policy to not allow Pearson or McGraw Hill books to be reviewed by the public and warning of any leaks of their content will be dealt with a stiff hand. The simple phrase that info cannot be reviewed or critiqued because of copyright restraints, sounds like he has a vested interest or the very least for some reason protecting the book companies, for whatever reason, scrutiny would be my guess and don’t try to get a book  of choice from your child’s school. My kids can’t even take their books home. What is the big secret? Bill Haslam declares no books on Common Core be reviewable, claiming copyrights laws protect us from looking at them!

2) Who owns Pearson? At least 26 million shares belong to the Muammar Gadaffi family via the Lybian Investment Authority and his five family members who have put together a nice portfolio! Enough said there! But then I question, what could be Haslams involvement in the Middle East, ie; Lybia, Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia? See links below, I’m building on this here, be patient.
http://education-curriculum-reform-government-schools.org/w/2013/03/pearsons-libyan-ownership-and-islam-biased-textbooks/

Pearson is partially owned by Lybian government and the late Mohmar Ghadaffi!
http://www.pfspublishing.com/workshop/2011/03/pearson-shuts-down-libyan-shares-in-company.html

3) Who once owned stock in K-12 education, a key component of Common Core, a complimentary reform measures that makes Pearson and other book and software companies multiple-billionaires? Ok, the cat is out of the bag, Bill Haslam invested 10,000 dollars in this program, but “didn’t know it” or failed to recognize that his portfolio contained this investment. He supposedly dumped it from his name and ditched the stock as it was uncovered by a Democratic foe as he was running for Governor.  My intuition would lead me to believe he perhaps got rid of the stock but has it close to him somewhere in another co-owned business, non profit or someone else’s name. Even early on he realized that 10,000 dollars invested in this up and rising stock would reap him possibly millions upon millions. A shrewd businessman and politician he is, a wise man he may not be. He knew education reform was on the way.

4) PILOT Oil is deeply associated with Lybia and Iran. Before his election, the then Democrat Gubernatorial candidate McWherter brought many of these issues to the table for review that I have discussed this evening. It is not to far a stretch to assume that Haslam is influenced by big oil and the middle east. To tie these together much less prove or implicate and tie them to Haslam is a stretch, but it makes you wander when most of his decisions are made about education reform it somehow seems to be tied to the middle east or big oil, you begin to think, where is his alliance? What is he protecting with these repeated bad policies with a middle eastern flare to them? Where is his ability to benefit personally from his policy? He has paved a way for Sharia Compliance with other actions in TN, why not with Education Reform? Who is in his pocket and pulling his strings?  And why do most of his decisions seem to tied to that common theme.
http://m.commercialappeal.com/news/2010/sep/21/mcwherter-ties-haslam-business-to-iran/

5) Is there a Saudi, Iranian, Muslim Brotherhood, Middle East, Turkey, Big oil, Education
Reform connection of book companies such as Pearson textbooks  to Pilot oil or Bill Haslam? The verdict is outstanding but the trail is warm. Further research may reveal many more personal interest connections.

6) The mere fact that Informational textbooks are replacing great works of literature in TN sets one to think that big corporate America is driving education reform changes. The recent endorsement of the US Chamber of Commerce of Common Core and recent private meetings in Bradley County Tennessee with members of SCORE, Kevin Huffman at least shows intent and an attempt to keep info sharing on the down low!

7) An Anti-Terrorism, Anti-Sharia, Anti-Jihad bill was introduced, SB 1028, that was spawned from the jihad attack on military personnel and other acts of “homegrown” terrorism acts in TN to include Haslams policies. Haslams actions have resulted in Legislators feeling strongly enough to enact laws to protect its citizens from Haslams bad policies and influence.

8) PARRC Testing and Kevin Huffman, a Haslam appointee for Education Czar in TN, is shifting the load, favor and money to Pearson to conduct the tests, develop the tests and get them online with loads of software development to support it. This action leaves a lucrative money trail benefitting once again Pearson Education and vested parties, Haslam and Huffman. Can anyone say money,  investments and lobbying influence driving decisions?
http://lastcar.blogspot.com/2013/11/text-book-review.html?m=1

9) Bill Haslams Drive 55 initiative gives the TN GED testing contract to, you guessed it, Pearson Education, yet another obvious push to give Pearson more of our state tax dollars. Can you see the set up and the cronyism displayed in these actions?  The Islamic influence in our childrens schools and text books? He doesn’t seem to make a step without including a benefit package for known associates of K-12, Pearson, PARRC, or Common Core. It makes you think that he might even be in cahoots with Jeb Bush and Bill Gates?

10) Jeb Bush and Bill Haslam partner to bring Education Reform to TN. What do you know? Coincidence? I don’t think so!! 

After stepping down as governor in 2007, Jeb Bush created the Foundation for Excellence in Education, which advocates for school choice and higher standards in public education, he announced after speaking to Tn Governor Bill Haslam.

Bush admitted that “it was helpful to have money behind the reforms,” “You’re asking people to eat broccoli—it’s always good to have some hot-cheese sauce. The money is like that hot-cheese sauce,” Bush said.

At the meeting Haslam asked “As Republicans, what do we think the government’s role is in higher standards?” Sinking feeling!!! “What is the Governments role in higher standards?” Did Bill Haslam really ask that?

Jeb Bush went on to correct Governor Haslam and again reiterate, although falsely, that this is not a government program but a state led, school board, teacher and superintendent led education reform plan- emphasis added for maximum impact!

 Mr Bush added, “I’m a conservative, but this is a national imperative. We have close to no standards.” No standards? What have we been doing for the last 50 years?Just a note of interest, with Common Core there are actually much fewer standards than are currently in place, by the way Mr Bush.

Note to self, Bush’s and Haslam’s partnership and education foundation receives funding from major Republican Party donors as well as the philanthropic foundations run by Bill Gates and Michael Bloomberg. 

“The event was hosted by the State Collaborative on Reforming Education (S.C.O.R.E.), a Nashville think tank founded by former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Members of the Tennessee General Assembly were also in the audience, the source below reveals. The Bush-Haslam reform partnership came a few weeks into a legislative session where Tennessee lawmakers were expected to vote on controversial education bills, including a statewide authorizer for charter schools and a generous school voucher program. ” Another reform measure to take away our school board and parents voice. Bring on WGU.

10) Charter Schools: Haslam signs bill making charter schools more accessible, his idea of bringing new businesses and jobs to TN.
http://news.tn.gov/node/7341

Haslam threatens to take away money from schools in TN for not implementing charter schools! Remember, this man is vested somehow and he doesn’t make a decision without a check in his hand.
http://nashvillepublicradio.org/blog/2012/08/16/haslam-backs-off-threats-to-withhold-state-money-from-mnps/

Charter schools jump 12 fold and growing under Haslams reign.
http://timesfreepress.com/news/2013/nov/17/charter-schools-prompt-concerns-about-money/?news

11) School Vouchers: The timeline continues. Remember Jeb Bush came to town and suggested it and Haslam assumed the lead!  It’s that simple! Does Haslam have an original thought?
http://m.knoxnews.com/news/2013/jan/14/gov-haslam-to-push-for-limited-school-voucher/

12)  WGU, Western Governors University an online Diploma mill, another venture for Bill Haslam coming out of the meeting with Jeb Bush. McGraw Hill  gets the nod to provide the material. . .” a landmark agreement to establish a “pay-for-performance” model in which McGraw-Hill will receive variable compensation for those WGU students who use MHE technology and services for a particular course and pass.”

Through the partnership, McGraw-Hill Education will provide e-books and access to industry-leading adaptive learning tools including McGraw-Hill LearnSmart to Western Governors University’s (WGU) online courses.” 

Meanwhile back in Tennessee just a few weeks later after Bush met with Haslam to talk corporate education reform, Haslam once again was doing the “I’m vested and will do whatever you want dance” and produced the following informercial on YouTube to promote a sweetheart deal to hand over $5 million in public money to set up an office for WGU in Tennessee., with Bill Gates kicking in $750,000.  This public largesse for an out-of-state corporate diploma mill comes at a time when public universities and community colleges can’t pay the light bills or cut the grass.  Please watch (it’s short):
http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl=US#/watch?v=O0uqrWSecpM

Could there ever be a sweeter corporate welfare deal?  Move right into the State, with taxpayer support and become a state university overnight!
http://atthechalkface.com/2013/08/23/haslam-bush-wgu-and-mcgraw-hill/

13) Bill Haslam, the United Nations via the Gates Foundation awarded $90 million to Memphis City Schools almost a year ago to improve teacher quality. Teacher quality? Are you beginning to
see where teacher evaluations, pay for performance complete with hiring and firing decisions, loss of teaching licenses based on a child’s performance on tests was born? 

 In attendance at this meeting was the then newly elected Governor Bill Haslam, who quickly accepted Gates money for Tennessee schools, but it didn’t come without the favor for money given. Does Bill Haslam do anything he is not told while a check is being written? It doesn’t seem so!

And Bill Gates praised the state’s (Haslams)  willingness to try new things:

“This idea of measuring teachers is very important because a teacher wants to know what they could do better…”

Gates also said  he “wants data to drive teacher evaluations nationwide!”

And as the attention turned to Haslam as the new Governor, Bill Gates essentially tells Haslam what he will do, with a 90 million dollar bribe of course and Haslam does it!

Melinda Gates, Bill Gates spouse offered this challenge to our spongy Governor,

“For a governor-elect, it’s really ‘Continue the course,’ and there will be tweaks to make along the way; there are going to be some hard times ahead, as you try to make sure you get an effective teacher in every classroom. It’s going to take some political will to do that with the parents and the teachers, but I think he’s very committed and we’re excited to be here, and will continue to work with whatever administration is here working in Tennessee.”

The Governor wet and soiled himself in this instance and has in one fell swoop appeased the United Nations/UNESCO/Education Reformer. Gates continued,  “I’m excited by the momentum around education reform, and will maintain it going forward.” Notice, no questions asked, Bill Gates says do it this way, and it is done. No questions asked! Done!

Gates, a UN puppet ended the meeting with this; “Countries with educational systems outperforming the United States academically all have three things in common:
— Students spend more time in school.
— Schools in different areas share the same curricula, or “common core,” meaning a student moving cross-country can arrive in a classroom studying the same material as the old one.
— Teachers get lots of feedback about their strengths and weaknesses.
 (Lets pretend that we don’t know that most countries only report their top students against our median average of all students, let’s leave that fact out of the equation, Mr Gates. Bill Haslam the whip has been  snapped and another set of bad policies are well on their way to
changing the way TN educates it’s children.

Here is a picture of Bill Haslam and Bill Gates with Phil Bredesen at the meeting.
http://www.forbes.com/pictures/fdmi45fmj/bill-gates-phil-bredesen-bill-haslam/

Bill Gates inks agreement with UNESCO, given to Haslam, to do exactly what the UN wants him to do. Remember, not to long ago the Governor refused to sign off on the anti-Agenda 21 bill from the legislature and senate. Agenda 21 specifically addresses education in it’s plan. Gates and Haslam seem to know that!

14) Teacher Evaluations and pay. Bill gates said it, Haslam does it! Let’s rethink our teacher evaluations and tie their license to how well their students perform on tests and decrease their pay too!

Haslam taps SCORE to do teacher evals! Cha Ching !
http://www.nooga.com/mobile/#149893/haslam-taps-score-to-review-new-teacher-evaluation-system/

15) Do I even need to post a link of what happens next, in true Haslam fashion, if it benefits him and you give him money, he’ll do it!

Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam today launched WGU Tennessee — http://tennessee.wgu.edu/ — an online, competency-based university aimed at expanding access to higher education for Tennesseans.

16) Haslam and K-12 investments led by Saudis? Again, the anthem repeated by Haslam. The following summary was provided by the link below ” It turns out that the system of federal subsidies to university programs of Middle East Studies (under Title VI of the Higher Education Act) has been serving as a kind of Trojan horse for Saudi influence over American K-12 education. Federally subsidized Middle East Studies centers are required to pursue public outreach. That entails designing lesson plans and seminars on the Middle East for America’s K-12 teachers. These university-distributed teaching aids slip into the K-12 curriculum without being subject to the normal public vetting processes. Meanwhile, the federal government, which both subsidizes and lends its stamp of approval to these special K-12 course materials on the Middle East, has effectively abandoned oversight of the program that purveys them (Title VI).
Enter the Saudis. By lavishly funding several organizations that design Saudi-friendly English-language K-12 curricula, all that remains is to convince the “outreach coordinators” at prestigious, federally subsidized universities to purvey these materials to America’s teachers. And wouldn’t you know it, outreach coordinators or teacher-trainers at a number of university Middle East Studies centers have themselves been trained by the very same Saudi-funded foundations that design K-12 course materials. These Saudi-friendly folks happily build their outreach efforts around Saudi-financed K-12 curricula.”

17) Bill Haslam invests in K12. Yes he did and supposedly dumped his stock before running for office.
http://www.tennessean.com/article/20130909/NEWS0201/309090034/Gov-Haslam-invested-K12-education-company-one-time

18) For sake of time, I will only mention further radical groups that Haslam has embraced as a tool to change education results in our state of TN and they are SCORE, Teach for America, Students First and Achieve Inc ! It’s worthy to research these organizations because they are the catalyst to do the Governors dirty work!

In summary, you can easily see who is really driving education reform in TN and across the nation, big corporate money, special interests,  a seedy middle east influence, education reformers, self made millionaires, opportunists, big oil,  government controllers and they all have one thing in common and that is our Tn State Governor Bill Haslam.

Obama to visit Chattanooga Tuesday with Internet Sales Tax on his mind

Please join our protest against the fake president  and his attempt to yet again place another tax on us with the “promise” of more jobs created.

This president has done nothing for job creation in this country. He is expected to spend 4 trillion dollars this year and for every job created two people are placed on food stamps. This hardly seems like a path to prosperity.

President Obama’s push for an Internet Sales Tax (known as the Marketplace Fairness Act) during his visit to the Amazon.com fulfillment center on Tuesday the 30th. 

Amazon.com is also pushing the new Internet Sales Tax, which coincidentally was written by TN’s own Senator Lamar Alexander. It figures he would come to town to greet his brother in arms, Alexander to celebrate a new tax for Tennesseeans! After all, Lamar Alexander did vote with him 63 percent of the time.

Let’s welcome the president to Tennessee with open arms……holding signs and displaying them in disgust.

Come join the many “true Americans” and send a strong message to Obama and his minions Haslam, Alexander and Corker that his politics and presence are not welcome in Tennessee.

July 30th, 2013
EXACT TIME AND LOCATION TO BE DETERMINED!!!
7200 Discovery Dr, Chattanooga, TN

Please plan to be there with your signs waving. If you have a bullhorn, bring it too!

Haslam sweeps into town, Cleveland City elected steal signs that “embarrass”

Haslam sweeps into town, Cleveland City elected steal signs that “embarrass”

Gadfly, a “muscled up gadfly”, this is what City Councilman George Poe said in the aftermath, as he and City Manager Janice Casteel removed signs from the  private business of Dan Rawls this week during a recent visit by TN Governor Bill Haslam.

A gadfly is by definition an”irritator, trouble maker,  a fly that bites livestock, a fly that irritates livestock by biting them and sucking their blood, a horsefly, somebody annoying, somebody regarded as persistently annoying or irritating, nuisance, pest, meddler, busybody, irritator, tormentor, pesterer, stirrer! 

Dan Rawls said this about Poes comments, “yep, that about sums me up” as he chuckled at the unbelieveabilty and gall of these elected officials to step onto his private property and remove his signs and then insult him when confronted. 

Governor Haslam was visiting the city of Cleveland just across the street from Mr Rawls business. Dan got word of this and began his peaceful protest in the yard of his business. He placed several signs on his private property that said benignly “Shame on you Governor Haslam”, and “Stop CC!”

Even more humorous was at one point Poe thought “Stop CC” meant Stop the Community Center, the place where Haslam was speaking. 

The disconnect by this politician is evident as they failed to recognize that the sign was a statement protesting one of the cities and states most fiery issues, Common Core, the nationalization of our public school system, led by Haslam and his Education Secretary Kevin Huffman stated Rawls when interviewed by BCN.

While Governor Haslam dumped multiple hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on our community much like a John would for a high dollar prostitute. The Haslam faithful latched on to the big government teet, adulterating the “City with Spirit” and suspending the peoples rights and the Constitution.

As the scene unfolded Councilman George Poe evidently took offense to private business owner Dan Rawls protecting his own property by shouting, seven police cars responded hurriedly after Poe dragged his handy police radio from his ample hip and reported his own crime. 

Poe, dragging Casteel along for what could have been a zany clip from the hit tv show “Cops” said Dan Rawls came out of his private business quickly, flailing his arms and asking what they were doing removing his private property, essentially stealing his property. George Poe with Janice Casteel commenting on the malay afterwards said that he thought he was going to shove Mrs Casteel when he exited his business. Shoving? Let’s trek back into the not to distant past and see the last time you saw someone stealing property near you Mr Poe. Let’s see the last time you saw private property being stolen you acted irrationally. You emptied a .380 clip over a lawnmower, chased the perpetrator  down and shot till you ran out of bullets while he crashed his vehicle trying to flee your wrath and District Attorney Steve Bebb let you go unscathed. Rawls didn’t and it never crossed his mind to use such violence but If Mr Rawls had followed your credo you and Mrs Casteel would have been loaded up in the back of a hearse, toes up and lying on ice in a local funeral home saying hello to Jesus.

Rawls exercised great restraint and clear judgement and chose not exercise his second amendment rights as you did.

Instead he gave you and Mrs Casteel a pass, which is his nature and instead opted to simply raise his voice asking what authority you had to remove signs from his private business. 

Poe and Casteel, on the scene were obviously a little confused as once again city officials think it’s within their power, within the City Charter and state constitution to take on the role of Code Enforcement officer pushing their will on it’s
Citizenry because they thought the message implied would embarrass them and shed a bad light on the Governor. Once again you are wrong in assuming you have more power than you do.

This is not the first incident in recent history that Cleveland City officials acted against the actions of citizens exercising their first amendment rights. 

If you remember, earlier this year Cleveland MayorTom Rowland started a manhunt for  citizens passing out fliers warning the public of the cities plan to destroy and demolish the homes of 300 or so in South Cleveland. This action by the Mayor spurred a potential lawsuit by citizens in Cleveland and resulted in public outcry to bridle the appointed King Rowland and his court from sending taxpaying citizens to prison for expressing disdain for the Mayors own growth plan. Requests for apologies were denied by these tyrants and the reign of terror continues.

The obvious is happening. Elected officials with too much power and an abundance of bad judgement within a good ole boy network are way comfortable restraining the rights of citizens. This must be stopped.

This buddy system and self absorbed power must be driven from town. The ballot box must be the answer. The old guard must be changed. It cannot lead us any longer. The citizenry has lost faith in it’s abilities. 

Please be on the alert and conscious of your surroundings. The posse in town seems to place the needs of a RINO Governor with a little cash over the rights of it’s people. The Haslam seems to bring out the worst in people, especially those that rely on his money bribes for favors.

What a sad day and time we live in.

Common Core: 30 years of progressive education reform being led by Bill Ayers

Common Core: 30 years of progressive education reform led by Bill Ayers

 Ayers and his fellow “reformers” are to Dewey what Lenin was to Marx. 

Marx was an intellectual who wished to undermine Western civilization. 

Lenin was a thug who sought to bring Marxist principles into full practice through propaganda, armed revolution, and sophisticated lies. 

Likewise, Dewey hated American liberty and individualism and wished to undermine them through socialist education. 

Ayers is Dewey’s less civilized, more “practically minded” disciple.

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/02/american-education-rotting-the-country-from-the-inside-2571798.html

On the homefront:

In Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam with an assist from Achieve, Inc are the patsies being used locally to deliver the forbidden fruit to our children!”

Governor Bill Haslam is being handed the baton of progressive education called Common Core for the state of Tennessee. He has willingly, proudly and actively accepted this challenge. 

I doubt he knows or even cares to know Bill Ayers. But one thing is for sure he is assisting him at least indirectly in it’s implementation.

His past, at least formally, with Mayor Bloomberg of New York and Multi-Billionaire Bill Gates of Microsoft, a puppet of UNESCO and a huge catalyst and contributor of hundreds of millions to Common Core and it tenets at least shows he is a willing and knowledgable host, if not a conspiring puppet.

This evolvement of a pedagogical educational system which started with John Dewey has shaped into what we now call Common Core.

For more than 30 years this gradual ascent to Common Core has  come directly from the mind of terrorist, anti American, Anti Capitalist, Communist Bill Ayers and is now being passed to our children by willing Governors who will gladly take a few dollars to implement federal mandates for a complete overhaul of our school system.

The originator of this process was masterminded by John Dewey and completed by Bill Ayers and his proteges.

Today Bill Haslam, as others, are pushing the implementation of Common Core in Tennessee for a 500 million dollar bribe under the guises of RTTT and under the watchful eye of Achieve.

Governor Haslam, using his board position on Achieve, a leftist, big money think tank and lobby front for Common Core is definitely forging the path for our children’s minds in Tennessee. Many other Governors across the nation are also participating.

This is not just a benign program only being presented in our state and across the nation as a way to “assist” our states to perform better on standardized tests.

It is a deliberate and intentional step to take over the minds of our children and prepare them for thinking and functioning inside a global world where socialism and the needs of the collective are the accepted norm and are expected above and beyond their own needs thus completing the works of John Dewey and his disciple Bill Ayers.

A world where capitalism does not exist as a means of economic growth or stability. 

A world where all Americans are on a level playing field, no reward for high achievers, just a recognition that your ability to rise above others is a form of social injustice.

I recently stumbled upon this 30 or so year history while researching this takeover of our educational system by the Feds and communists. 

This artful and skillfully put together history was the creation  of Danette Clark, a blogger and further enhanced by this blog.

Many have asked me recently “Can you make a connection to Bill Ayers and Common Core and can you correlate that with the origins of Common Core?” I believe I have managed to do that.

The following is that link, that progression to what today is known as Common Core with assorted references to support these claims.

Our state and nation is at an extremely pivotal turning point. 

The acceptance of Common Core into our public schools by progressives, communists and globalist is completely unacceptable.

The Top down federal nationalism of our school system is a tragedy and this indoctrination called Common Core must be stopped. 

I believe we are one generation, one term, perhaps 4 to 10 years from being a Socialist country. The tool will be our children and the education they are now receiving.

The Socialists and Communists have perfected the tool, the program, the curriculum, the standards, the indoctrinating tool now evolved into and known as Common Core. 

The indoctrination program is underway and being implemented in our schools today.

I realize I may not convince you of this indoctrination with one blog, I do encourage you to take a few minutes, read it and make your own decisions based on this information. 

The decision to know it exists but not acknowledge it’s origins and intent is completely up to you. I prefer to look further than on the surface.

The History

The Coalition of Essential Schools (CES), a progressive education reform model rooted in the pedagogy of Paulo Freiere and John Dewey, was started by Theodore Sizer in 1984.

http://www.essentialschools.org/resources/69

CES was originally housed in Brown University. In 1993, the Annenberg Institute for School Reform was established at Brown, with Theodore Sizer as its first director. The institute built on the work of Sizer’s Coalition of Essential Schools with a mission to expand that work to schools across the country.

In 1996, the Annenberg Foundation launched the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) education initiative, which was led in part by Bill Ayers. At the time, Ayers was already working with a Coalition of Essential Schools affiliate organization in Chicago.

(The Wall Street Journal connects the dots.)

http://m.us.wsj.com/articles/a/SB122212856075765367?mg=reno64-wsj

Ayers appointed Obama as CAC board chairman and over the next few years, they invested millions into the expansion of Sizer’s CES schools.

http://mobile.wnd.com/2008/09/76022/

Ayers’ Small Schools Workshop also received Annenberg money to aid in transforming existing schools into CES member schools (also referred to as ‘small schools’, ‘smaller learning communities’, ’small autonomous schools’ and ‘schools within a school’). Ayers and his organization provided curriculum resources, hands-on professional development, and grant development.

(Even Jared Lee Loughner attended one of Bill Ayers “small school projects”)

http://mobile.wnd.com/2011/01/249429/

A total of $500 million was donated by Annenberg nationwide, providing the first big boost to the expansion of CES schools. The most recent boost is Common Core.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Annenberg_Challenge

In between, CES schools received heavy funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Soros’ Open Society Institute, Carnegie Corporation, and through CSR, Title 1, and smaller learning community grants from the U.S. Department of Education.

http://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/US-Program/College-Ready-Education

CES (likely under the advice of experienced community organizers, Barack Obama and Bill Ayers) recruited ACORN workers to manipulate and elbow their way onto local school councils and scream for reform. Chicago ACORN was paid to identify and train community members to become teachers in CES schools.

http://www.nationalledger.com/news-tech/the-barack-obama-william-ayers-145570.shtml

Acorn Woodland Elementary, Oakland, CA
Established in 2000 by ACORN and the Coalition of Essential Schools

Today, CES is a nationwide network of almost 3,000 schools, all of which are provided curriculum material, professional development training, and staff support through CES regional training centers and partner universities. CES uses the Annenberg Institute “as a forum for sharing resources and amassing political weight”. Read more about CES growth and structure below.

http://www.essentialschools.org/resources/43

The Evidence

So with CES behind CSCOPE, and Linda Darling Hammond, a long time board member and disciple of CES schools, behind Common Core, does this mean Common Core is as bad as CSCOPE?

For those who don’t necessarily agree that one bad apple can spoil the whole bunch, how about several bad apples?

After reading Michelle Malkin’s recent article that places Achieve, Inc. behind Common Core, the dots finally began to connect.

http://michellemalkin.com/2013/03/01/rotten-to-the-core-part-iii-lessons-from-texas-and-the-growing-grassroots-revolt/

Linda Darling Hammond isn’t the only Common Core developer whose roots are firmly planted in the progressive agenda of the Coalition of Essential Schools.

Not only is Achieve, Inc. made up of several CES/Annenberg foot soldiers, it was literally established through an (unofficial) partnership of the National Governors Association and the Annenberg Institute.

(Our very own Governor Bill Haslam is on this board. The board has been involved all the way back to 1996. Coincidentally this progressive was also on the very liberal Mayor Bloombergs Coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, but resigned in 2009 and joined the NRA….hypocritical and progressive? Another blog! Now onto Achieve, another progressive think tank with big money influence.)

http://www.achieve.org/our-board-directors

Here is the who and the how:

• Louis Gerstner, Jr., Chairman Emeritus of Achieve, Inc., was appointed to the first Board of Overseers of the Annenberg Institute for School Reform in 1995.  Remember, Theodore  Sizer, founder of CES schools, was Annenberg’s director at the time.

http://brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/1995-96/95-028.html

Gerstner and Tommy Thompson, former NGA Chairman and former governor of Wisconsin, called for and led the first National Education Summit in 1996 wherein Achieve, Inc. was created.

Click to access 1996NationalEducationSummit.pdf

• Jeffrey Wadsworth, Achieve, Inc. board member, is president and CEO of Battelle Memorial Institute. In 2006, Battelle partnered with the Coalition of Essential Schools, Ohio State University, and KnowledgeWorks Foundation to create a new  CES school, Metro High School in Columbus, OH.

http://www.essentialschools.org/resources/484

• Michael Cohen, President of Achieve, Inc., wrote a report in 2001 recommending smaller learning communities and refers to the Coalition of Essential Schools as a program that has “a clear focus and purpose”.

Under Cohen, Achieve, Inc. has partnered with the Alliance for Excellent Education on several initiatives. The Alliance is led by former governor of West Virginia Bob Wise, who is an advisory committee member (alongside Linda Darling Hammond) of CES’s Bay Area Coalition for Equitable Schools.

Linda Darling Hammond is an Alliance for Excellent Education governing board member.

Don’t forget to go here to see which CES-ers are behind CSCOPE.

So there you have it — Common Core is the culmination of a 30 year old progressive education initiative still being driven by the ‘irrelevant’ Bill Ayers and implemented by Obama as America’s national standard in education.

http://www.ousd.k12.ca.us/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&ModuleInstanceID=335&ViewID=97313D1D-A9CF-4646-A5A5-0C355FBAC071&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=841&PageID=543

Here in Bill Ayers own words of his plans for our schools using Common Core and it tenets: “we should be looking at what we have complete access to, our schools, classrooms, communities and farms, If we want real change!”

Who is John Dewey?
http://www.who2.com/bio/john-Dewey

http://www.wilderdom.com/experiential/JohnDeweyPhilosophyEducation.html

This content is a result of my research and my opinion based on fact. I realize if you are a vested  party or willing participant, I’m perhaps not gonna change your mind, but I do want you to see these facts and realize that you one day may be held accountable for your actions in the court of public opinion.

TN Governor Haslam paves way for “Sharia Compliant” swimming in Nashville pools

Once again the actions of a liberal Governor and his acceptance of the Islamic culture in our state has allowed Sharia Compliance to take root in our state and in our communities.

Segregated swimming this go around. Next it will be separate lines in restaurants, one for men and one for women. This sounds reminiscent of the 60s when racial tensions were very high. Why do we now accept this segregation and allow this to happen in the year 2012?

Its creeping Sharia and our Governor is allowing it, promoting it as a way to improve our economic status in the state. Sharia Law does not allow for equal treatment for men and women and does not respect our Constitution as a guide for their freedom.

Women walking 3 steps behind a man, segregated lines, no showing of skin in public, photos of, or simply the ability to speak while in the presence of their husband. Is this really where we want to be as a state? Do we want our Governor with his “open minded” approach to international business to allow Sharia Compliance to be the norm?

The next thing you know he will be bringing Islamic, middle Eastern businesses to Tennessee, perhaps with his oil connections and ex Obama mentor Samar Ali. Perhaps lure in an Islamic business with seed money of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and have the ability to say, come to Tennessee, where we have gone out of our way to accommodate your Sharia culture! Gaurantee you this is the unveiled plan by our Governor and his liberal staff!

For now and it seems so benign and off the radar. Segregated swimming in a Knoxville Public pool, tomorrow, the Muslim Brotherhood sitting in our state chambers calling all the shots.

There is segregated, Islamic, Sharia Compliant swimming in Nashville at the city’s taxpayer-funded South Knoxville Community Center.

If you’re not satisfied with government supporting sharia you might want to let them know (Center: 865-573-3575) in a well-reasoned and courteous manner. Or email Nashville’s mayor office and tourism office here.

There is segregated swimming for Islamic women in Tysons Corner, Virginia too although the host has not yet been identified. Any readers in the area want to find out where?

When Islam and those who defend them claim Islam are just like you they are lying. More and more, the Islamic beliefs are not interested in assimilating into American culture rather they are segregating. As the Islamic population grows taxpayers will be funding sharia compliance as they do in England and France and elsewhere. And don’t be fooled. If you aren’t Islamic they might let you in, but you arent the sister they’re referring to. Yet. What’s the opposite of brother? Sister! Sisterhood?

Look at the link below and the Facebook site promoting Sharia compliant swimming. Why am I making such a big deal? It doesn’t stop here! It keeps going and going and going till we are more consumed with obeying the teachings of Islam than we are our God almighty and the laws of our land…….the Constitution. This is a textbook perfect example of how Sharia is to be implemented into a targeted community. Little by little, creeping sharia! It’s real and this is how it works and unfortunately we have a Governor who is willing to let it happen.

“The Project”: A detailed Islamic plan to destroy our country unveiled

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Abraham Lincoln

America is in the midst of an all out “holy war”, a war on our infrastructure and our religious bodies. Oddly, we can’t even get the press to pronounce it or alert the country that we are under attack……from within.

The gentle coddling of radical Islamic doctrine is preparing America for her doom. A plan or project has been uncovered recently that spells out in great detail the Muslim Brotherhoods intentions to destroy the West, the United States.

“The Project” was discovered and the contents brought forward at the Holy Land Foundation trial, yes, the same one Tennessee Governor Bill Haslams recent Sharia Compliance expert Samar Ali was involved in with her association with the International Arab Bank.

Small incremental steps are the “Projects” overall objective. The steady drum beat of infiltration into our society is the way this war is being waged upon us. As witnessed by the more than 30 years of “The Projects” success you can easily see they are winning the battle and our elected leaders like Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam are rolling out the red carpet for them to easily step into, saturate and infiltrate our government and our way of life.

Political correctness and naievete are strangling our freedoms and our sovereignty thus preventing us from stopping this war on our government and it’s infrastructure. We are playing completely into their hands and our elected officials are making it an easy task.

If any other group had a mission statement like the one pulled from the Muslim Brotherhoods website, there would surely be public outcry and a beheading in the public square.

“Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”

“The Project”, simply put is a 30 year old plan that was presented initially as the Muslim Brotherhoods Charter to destroy our country from within, using our existing system of governance as the catalyst to bring our country to it’s knees, recently unearthed on a raid of a building in Switzerland, coincidentally the home of the United Nations.

“A 2001 raid in Switzerland unearthed a chilling manifesto now dubbed “The Project,” a detailed Islamic blueprint for infiltrating, subverting and ultimately defeating the U.S. and the West. Today, 80 file boxes worth of evidence submitted during the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial — the largest terror financing trial in U.S. history to date — including “The Project” documents, are being withheld from the American public by the Department of Justice.” (excerpt from blaze.com)

The Holy Land Foundation trial 

The lynchpin of the documentary is found in the Holy Land Foundation trial, which was brought to bear by the Justice Department first in 2007 and then again in 2008 against the Holy Land Foundation, a “charity” that was later found to have funneled more than $12 million to the terrorist organization, Hamas. During the discovery process for the trial, prosecutors submitted 80 boxes of Islamic material including the The Project document. Strangely, “subject matter experts” were subsequently called in deemed the documents inadmissible as evidence. The identity of these experts or the grounds on which they came to their conclusion has never been revealed.

During the trial, five Islamists were convicted, including a founding board member of CAIR. The documentary also delves into many of the key players and American-Islamic groups currently operating against U.S. interests and discusses other un-indicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation trial.

We live in a time where the hard truth must come out and straight talk needs to once again become the norm. We have pansie mansied our way around this subject to the point of nausea. This “project” Charter being promoted by the Muslim Brotherhood is a deliberate action plan to destroy our country. We are at war from a stealthy enemy while they are being protected and shielded from scrutiny by the people who are supposed to be representing you and I inside our own republic, directed by the US and State Constitutions.

There are many, many people on this Earth who do not want you to exist. Please read the Muslim Brotherhoods, The Project in it’s entirety, 14 pages, and if does not project to you what I am saying, then God bless us all! It was nice while it lasted, bring on the good Lords reappearance, our goose is cooked, stick a fork in us we are done.

or

I have even made it simple for you and have posted a summary of “The Projects” objectives that were prepared by Front Page Magazine:

Some of the Projects objectives:

Networking and coordinating actions between likeminded Islamist organizations;

Avoiding open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of “moderation”;

Infiltrating and taking over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals;

Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with shari’a law;

Avoiding social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West or provoke a lash back against Muslims;

Establishing financial networks to fund the work of conversion of the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;

Conducting surveillance, obtaining data, and establishing collection and data storage capabilities;

Putting into place a watchdog system for monitoring Western media to warn Muslims of “international plots fomented against them”;

Cultivating an Islamist intellectual community, including the establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing “academic” studies, to legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist movements;

Developing a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology throughout the world;

Balancing international objectives with local flexibility;

Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the movement for Muslims in the West is constant;

Involving ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations and labor unions;

Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be converted and put into service of Islam;

Drafting Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual implementation;

Avoiding conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels, including the development of processes for conflict resolution;

Instituting alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share similar goals;

Creating autonomous “security forces” to protect Muslims in the West;
Inflaming violence and keeping Muslims living in the West “in a jihad frame of mind”;

Supporting jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching, propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support;

Making the Palestinian cause a global wedge issue for Muslims;

Adopting the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic domination;

Instigating a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against Jews and rejecting any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with them;

Actively creating jihad terror cells within Palestine;
Linking the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror movement;

Collecting sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support jihad around the world;

Look at how many of the objectives have been fulfilled!

We have a fake president who is giving the Muslim Brotherhood your taxpayer dollars in the form of stimulus money to essentially promote Islamic doctrine that has as it’s main goal to destroy the very fiber of our country that makes us strong.

We have many inside our government who are more than willing to look past this project and dismiss it as an unbelievable scenario that will never unfold.

We have Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam who has stepped on the backs of Americans to embrace Islamic doctrine, accept Sharia Law, trading our sovereignty and perhaps paving the way for more family wealth.

These thoughts are only my opinion folks but the bizarre things he is doing leads me to think someone has taken over his brain and placed ideas down in it that are not protective of our state and nation.

The plan, which we had a hunch it existed but couldn’t see it because the approach was very insidious and masterful in its delivery. It has been a well disguised plan. It is working and we continue to allow the plan to go forward.

I just dont get it! Perhaps I do?

Check out these videos:

A 2 minute trailer for the documentary by Glenn Beck helps exlain this project as a desire to destroy our country from within.

A 27 minute video prepping for the main documentary called “The Project!”

Dr Blll Warner explains why Governor Haslams sharia appointee is significant

This is the most thorough explanation of the nature of Islam and it’s impact upon our culture and country that I have ever heard. The two videos below will provide you with enough information to arm yourself while the pulpits and the country remain silent.

We do not live in America to be under the rules of Sharia, Islam or the Political version of Islam that is encroaching on us daily. The threat is very real. We will not and do not coexist with the doctrine of Islam. Notice I didn’t say Muslims. This is not about Muslims this is about the doctrine within the books of which they practice.

We are a free nation that is seeing a groundswell of the influence of Islam on it and our freedoms will and are being severely affected as our political system and our religious foundations are compromised.

Governor Bill Haslam opening the door wide for Political Islam is a huge serious mistake with many repercussions and an impact that will not be realized for many years to come. Because of his political correctness and naiveté he has complied to the rules of Islam and has forever compromised our freedoms. I believe with his recent appointee of a Sharia Compliance expert to a significant post within our own government he has put millions at risk and created an environment for and has planted the seed for future growth of Islamic doctrine and further religious oppression in our state.

The recent additions of a mosque in Murfreesboro and most recently on Brainerd road shows that the population in our area is growing and it’s influence is being assisted by Governor Haslams actions.

In the videos below, Dr Bill Warner said it best. The churches are dead on this issue. 95 percent of pastors in this country are simply CEOs of a large 501c3 corporation protecting their assets and tax status instead of fighting for religious freedoms of their members. 5 percent get it and are being diligent but 95 percent are just businessmen in a cloak with a title.

While sitting with Dr Warner at lunch and looking for wisdom from a very wise person, I received my nugget. He told
me he was afraid the “Church is no longer a church of Christ, but a church of nice!” “Our churches have been squelched, held up by our inability to step out of the tax status that our government has used as the tool that binds them to political silence.”

We as a country must take heed and benefit from the wisdom of Dr Bill Warner. He speaks ominously and into the future. Our dismissal of this threat will be devastating to our freedoms, sovereignty and religious freedom. Islam will not just suddenly appear and wallah we are overwhelmed. It will be slow, methodical, insidous and purposeful over many years just as in history, as you will see in the videos below.

These videos are the most important I have ever heard and I hope you too will see the relevance. The 22 and 44 minute videos are well worth the hour you will spend. An hour to see the devastation if left unchecked and its effect on our society. As I stood at our Tennessee Leadership Conference in Ooltewah, Tennessee recently and heard this man speak, I said this is the most important talk I have heard, please Mike get this to video as soon as possible.

Once again the strong team of Mike and Pat Mallard/Will Sturtevant at Tin Ship Productions have once again produced a masterpiece. Please visit their site and take a look at all their videos at http://www.tinshipproductions.com

Please do not bypass these videos. Please watch them, gather your friends to watch or show them in your Sunday school classes, to your pastors and friends list. This is the most important information you can absorb. We can no longer be politically correct and accepting of a doctrine that does not want you near or exist in it.

You may have to copy and paste to You tube. I have a free site with few bells and whistles.

Video 1- It’s not about Muslims, it’s about Islam, the doctrine and Sharia Compliance. Dr Warner explains the difference very well and tells you why the Governors recent appointment is significant to our state of Tennessee and our religious freedoms.

1400 year history of Islamic Jihad. Gaurantee you didn’t get this revealing information in school.

Governor Haslam appoints Sharia Compliant Finance expert to head Tenn. Development Council

Creeping Sharia! This is what this is. Governor Haslam, mockingly called Hislam has allowed the great state of Tennessee to be encroached upon and has opened that door ever so lightly to allow Sharia to sneak into our state and have a direct influence over our Economic and Community Development. Huge mistake and we will not see the enormity of this mistake as by design this is the way it all gets started, slowly at first then total control. One appointment at a time, one proverbial block at a time till the complete wall is built. The Muslims consider Sharia to be the ultimate law of the land, even above our own Constitution. Governor Haslam making this appointment has put every Christian and person in this state at a distinct disadvantage as he has essentially surrendered our sovereignty to a foreign entity who happens to believe that the only path to that euphoric abyss is total submission to Islam.

I can here the nay slingers even as I am typing. “Don’t you think that is a little extreme to think that way?” The gradual introduction of Sharia and Muslims into our culture is by design. Their influence grows into complete control of the economy and the culture then no one dares remove them. That would be politically incorrect. They are creeping in and our governor has opened the door. It’s time to replace the governor and put in a representative of the people who will protect our state instead of giving it away to Sharia influence.

An Unacceptable Appointment

07/06/2012 – 16:29
Governor Haslam’s recent appointment of Samar Ali, an Islamist and professional facilitator in Shariah Compliant Finance, to head the International Division of the Tennessee Economic and Community Development Council has generated significant concerns among many Tennesseans.  Some (e.g., members of the 8th District Tea Party Coalition, the 7th District Tea Party and 9-12 Coalition, and other liberty groups around both Tennessee and the country) have expressed our outrage and disgust over this appointment to our elected leaders.  To be clear, our concern is not with Ms. Ali personally, but instead with the lack of wisdom Governor Haslam and his administration have exhibited with respect to the documented dangers inherent in political Islam and Shariah Compliant Finance in particular.

To further inform the citizens of the great State of Tennessee regarding the threat to our national security posed by political Islamists – a threat previously documented by numerous agencies at the federal, state and local levels – we have established the web site http://www.billhislam.com.   Our intent and hope is that as many Tennesseans as possible will become educated with respect to why this appointment and any other government sanction of Shariah Compliant Finance (SCF) and Political Shariah represent very real inherent threats to our state and country.  

It should be noted that “political” is the operative word in this discussion.  Contrary to what many members of the media and the Haslam Administration would have the public believe, we are not interested in preventing Muslims from peacefully worshiping as they please.  As constitutionalists, we staunchly support the free exercise of religion reinforced by the First Amendment.  Our opposition is to political Islam and the promotion of Shariah in our state.

Based on the definition of Islamist scholars, Shariah is “the perfect expression of divine will and justice and is therefore the supreme law that must comprehensively govern all aspects of life.”  Islam itself literally means “submission”.  It is no coincident that political Islamists adherents interpret that expression of divine will and justice to include such widespread Islamist brutalities as killing those that leave Islam and subjugating all non-Muslims by force, if necessary.

A world ruled by Shariah is the goal of organizations such as al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Muslim Brotherhood.  They refer to this as the ‘inevitable’ global caliphate.  This ideology directly led to the attacks on September 11th, 2001, as well as numerous other Islamist terrorist attacks preceding and following 9/11.

It is understood that not all Islamists are inclined to acts of physical violence.  Shariah also justifies the direct and indirect financial support of both violent and stealth jihad.  In fact, the term “jihad with money” was coined by the spiritual guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, SheikhYusuf al-Qaradawi. 

As a result of a 2004 raid in Annondale, Virginia, the FBI discovered the blueprint for the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for stealthily taking over America utilizing “Civilization Jihad”.  Civilization Jihad specifically incorporates the use of Shariah Compliant Finance and zakat, or Islamic charities.  Civilization Jihad also involves infiltrating and taking over institutions and businesses.  Of course, increasing political influence is also a key component.

In order for political Islamist to accomplish their stated goals, they note that the use of deception is required.  The history of political Islamist conquest reveals they will be nice to us and hide their true intentions only as long as necessary.  In fact, this principle of deception is codified within Islamist doctrine via taqiyya (sanctioned lying and deception) and hudna (the making and breaking of agreements based only on whether it is advantageous to the Islamists).  

Whether furthering Civilization Jihad or funding Taliban IED attacks on U.S. troops, Shariah Compliant Finance has been repeatedly documented to be one of the financial vehicles used to further both the violent and stealth goals of political Islamists – their ultimate goal being the establishment of total Islamist global domination.  Unfortunately, we now have an influential state official whose self-declared expertise is Shariah Compliant Finance.

The fact that all of the above information is well known and easily verifiable brings the judgment of the Haslam Administration into question.  Not only have numerous federal convictions been secured against Islamists using Shariah Compliant Finance and zakat to fund Islamist terrorism, the facts are known to anyone who has ever done even basic research on radical Islamist organizations.  How can these same facts not be common knowledge to the Tennessee Department of Homeland Security and the Haslam Administration?

The question remains to be answered as to why the Haslam Administration specifically elected to make the political appointment of Ms. Samar Ali to the position that oversees Tennessee’s international trade offices.  It is puzzling that an internationally known expert, facilitator and advocate of Shariah Compliant Finance is seen by Governor Haslam to be more qualified than other candidates well versed in the promotion of Tennessee industry.  Governor Haslam and his staff have yet to seriously address this critical question, instead choosing to respond to inquiries with diversionary strawmen and attacks on those with legitimate concerns.

Perhaps Governor Haslam places great faith in the judgment of the Obama Adminstration since Ms. Ali did serve as an Obama Administration White House Fellow.  Perhaps the governor believes that Ms. Ali’s former top secret security clearance granted when she worked with Janet Napolitano’s senior staff at the Department of Homeland Security makes her trustworthy.  If so, Governor Haslam should also consider Napolitano appointee Mohammed Elibiary who held top secret clearance and membership on Napolitano’s advisory committee despite praising Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini and former Muslim Brotherhood leader Sayyid Qutb at a 2004 conference in their honor.

Ms. Ali’s appointment may represent a pattern of behavior for Governor Haslam with respect to the using state government for the preferential promotion of Islamist principles.  In November of 2011, the governor signed a partnership with the American Muslim Advisory Council (AMAC).  We can only imagine the outrage if he were to sign a partnership with a Christian equivalent!  The AMAC partnership was made surreptitiously and later deemed unconstitutional by the Tennessee State Attorney General.  Even more troubling are the ties between the AMAC and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Regardless of whatever justification or rationalization Governor Haslam may be invoking with respect to his administration’s decisions to promote political Islam, the end result is the same. Our Governor is using state funds and influence to assist in the promotion and entrenchment of Shariah.  To say Governor Haslam’s actions in this regard are a slap in the face to the families of those who have lost fathers, sons, brothers and friends protecting our nation from the war of terror initiated by political Islamists is a gross understatement!  For those of us who have lost loved ones in this ongoing war, Governor Haslam’s actions are as despicable as spitting on their graves.

When all is said and done, there is no level of economic benefit that Samar Ali’s “abilities or qualifications” can bring to the State of Tennessee that will make this appointment right.  If anything, the position to which Ms. Ali was appointed should be filled with a Tennessean whose abilities and qualifications clearly coincide with the promotion of the products of Tennessee’s industries.  If Governor Haslam intends to make political Islamist approved financial instruments one of those industries at the risk of a percentage going to fund Islamist terrorism, we do not believe the vast majority of Tennesseans will support his pursuit of money stained by the blood of those who truly understood the threat posed by same. 

It is frightening to think what tenet of Shariah Governor Haslam will next seek to promote.
