Public wins stopping tyranny give way to more tyranny

A week after reports that the DHS planned a national license plate recognition program, DHS decided on February 19 that it would not implement the program. A few days after America found out about the Federal Communications Commission plan to sit in news rooms and ask questions about news gathering, newsroom politics and other intimidations, the FCC said it was suspending the program. The occupant of the Oval Office has said that his administration would stop the IRS singling out conservative groups for audits and intimidation. All these are examples of soft tyranny because none of them in the end will be stopped--in fact, they are moving ahead despite assurances to the contrary.
Engaget.com reports DHS decided it doesn't need a national database of everyone's license plates. Individual law enforcement units across the country already use license plate readers to track vehicles, and DHS wanted to connect them together to create a new National License Plate Recognition Database. Fox News reported that the program was stopped because the notice of it was posted without "the awareness of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) leadership." But here's the real deal: DHS only postponed the program until the original proposal is reviewed by ICE. This means that after the public heat dies down, DHS will go forward with the program.
The Washington Examiner reports that the FCC was working with USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Center for Communication and Democracy in developing criteria for what information is "critical" for Americans to have. Leftist billionaire George Soros' socialist Open Society Foundations has funded these schools to the tune of more than $1.8 million since 2000. These schools have even more ties to Soros, including faculty members writing for university-based publications allied with Soros-funded outlets. Meanwhile, the FCC plans to go ahead with the newsroom program without the controversial questions regarding journalistic practices. Uh-huh.

The Examiner reported February 13 that Senate Democratic leadership openly called for more IRS targeting of conservative groups, hoping to quell criticism of their voting records ahead of the election. The Examiner had released a previous study saying "100 percent of established 501(c)(4) groups audited by the IRS leaned to the right, and individuals who criticize [sic the president] are increasingly finding themselves targeted by the IRS." To sum up--all recent pledges to stop cracking down on your rights are temporary with plans to move rapidly forward. Jeremiah 6:14 says, "They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace." How does soft tyranny impact your life?
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

Jordanian Sheikh: "Israel Belongs to the Jews"

Sheikh Ahmed Aladoan of Amman has caused a "storm in the Arab media" after slamming the use of the name "Palestine" and Palestinian anti-Israel propaganda.

(Jordan)-Sheikh Ahmed Aladoan of Amman, a member of Jordan's well-known Adwan tribe, posted to Facebook this week that there is no such place as "Palestine," and provided references from the Koran to back up his assertion.
One of the Koranic verses provided states that Allah gave the Holy Land to the sons of Israel until the Day of Judgment (Surah Al-Ma'ida, verse 21), and the other (Surah Al-Shara'a, verse 59) says that the land was bequeathed to the Jews.

The sheikh turned to those who "distort the words of the Koran," whom he labeled as liars, and questioned where they had even come up with the name "Palestine." He insisted their claims to the Land of Israel were forfeit because "Allah is the protector of the Children of Israel."
And if that wasn't enough, the sheikh went on to turn the tables on the anti-Israel propaganda machine by accusing the Palestinians of killing children, the elderly and women, of using human shields, and of having not an ounce of mercy for even their own children.

The sheikh's words caused a storm in the Arab media, and were picked up by the Israeli Embassy in Amman. (Israel Today) Read more here.
