As Barack Obama's approval ratings continue to plummet, the tea party movement explodes and Democrats lose election after election – even in Massachusetts – one giant question looms large for Team Obama: How to stay in power?

The answer to that question can be found in the groundbreaking March issue of Whistleblower magazine, titled "STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION."

This game-changing special report is summarized in its long subtitle: "Amnesty, universal voter registration, felons voting, operatives planted: Team Obama's strategy for maintaining permanent power."

"The people currently running the show in Washington," said Whistleblower Editor David Kupelian, "come from the radical leftist world of Saul Alinsky in which everything they do – no matter how unethical, corrupt and flat-out illegal – is morally justified if it advances their agenda. Winning votes and elections by any means possible is their stock in trade."

"STEALING THE NEXT ELECTION" surveys the various stratagems the far left is currently developing to consolidate power in the U.S. long-term. The list includes:

I have been following for some time the remarkable journey of Mosab Hassan Yousef, about whom I wrote here last year. Yousef, the son of a Hamas leader, renounced not just terrorist violence but his family and his faith to become a Christian and move to California. Since apostasy from Islam carries a death penalty, this in itself was an act of extreme courage. The Telegraph ran an interview with him which set out starkly the extreme risk he was running, along with the principled reasons for his actions:

Mosab Hassan Yousef, 30, said that his decision to abandon his Muslim faith and denounce his father’s organisation had exposed his family to persecution in his home town of Ramallah and endangered his own life.

… ‘I’m not afraid of them, especially as I know that I’m doing the right thing, and I don’t see them as my enemies,’ he said. ‘I do think about this a lot. But what are they going to do? Are they going to kill me? If they want to kill me, let them do it. I’m not going to stop anyone. It’s going to be my freedom.’

… Mr Yousef said that his doubts about Islam and Hamas crystallised when he realised not all Hamas leaders were like his father, a moderate who he describes as ‘open-minded, very humble and honest’. Mr Yousef said that he was appalled by the brutality of the movement, including the suicide bombers seeking glory through jihad. ‘Hamas, they are using civilians’ lives, they are using children, they are using the suffering of people every day to achieve their goals. And this is what I hate,’ he said.

Good Americans from sea to shining sea are grappling right now with how to mentally process what they're witnessing in Washington, D.C.

The spectacle of a far leftist president literally forcing socialized medicine down the throat of an unwilling center-right America is reminiscent, perhaps more than any other contemporary metaphor, of date rape.

A man determined to have his way with a woman may start off seducing her with lies, flattery and the usual pretense of caring about her. But at a critical moment, when she says, "Stop, I'm not comfortable with this and don't want to go any further," he has a choice: Either do the right thing and back off, or abandon all prior pretensions and take her by force.

As president, Barack Obama courted us with sweet talk, but America grew increasingly uncomfortable with his advances and firmly said, "Stop" – in fact, screamed bloody murder for months. Yet Obama remains obsessed with forcing himself on America.

Put aside for the moment the fact that Obama is single-handedly destroying the Democratic Party for years, perhaps decades, by maniacally pursuing Obamacare as though it were Moby Dick and he Captain Ahab, leading all the Pequod's hapless Democrat crewmen into political destruction.

Rather, let's focus on how to truly understand what we're seeing – something virtually unprecedented in the American experience, at least in our lifetimes.

America is not, after all, a place like Cuba or Zimbabwe where corrupt dictators get their way through sheer ruthlessness, intimidation and naked arrogance. We're accustomed to the rule of law, to civility, to due process, even in the most difficult and contentious of times. After all, when Hillarycare was soundly rejected by Americans during Bill Clinton's first term, he wisely backed off and stopped trying to force socialized medicine on us. (And Bill was a guy with his own date-rape problems, but that's another story.)

'I absolutely know that in anybody's eyes I was a traitor," says Mosab Hassan Yousef. "To my family, to my nation, to my God. I crossed all the red lines in my society. I didn't leave one that I didn't cross."

The news of this double conversion has sent ripples through the Middle East. One of Mr. Yousef's handlers at the Shin Bet confirmed his account to the Israeli daily Haaretz. Hamas—already reeling from the assassination of a senior military chief in Dubai in January—calls his claims Zionist propaganda. From the Israeli prison he has occupied since 2005, Sheikh Yousef on Monday issued a statement that he and his family "have completely disowned the man who was our oldest son and who is called Mosab."

For the past two years, Mosab Yousef has lived near San Diego, where he's kept a low profile out of concern for his security. The U.S. is currently weighing his application for political asylum, and until his confession to espionage and the publicity blitz that accompanied it this week, only knew him as the son of a terrorist who sometimes attends evangelical churches in California. The book is intended to launch a new life in America.

(Israelnationalnews.com) The IDF's Central Command estimates that approximately 3,000 Palestinian Authority Arabs will drive along the Jerusalem-Modiin highway Route 443 each day when the road is opened to PA traffic this May. The estimate is much higher than earlier IDF estimates, which predicted that only a few hundred PA Arabs would use the road.

The higher estimate was made after the IDF Civil Administration presented more accurate data than was previously available.

The IDF is preparing to deal with the security ramifications of allowing PA Arabs to use the highway, as mandated by a recent Supreme Court ruling. The court ruled this past December that PA Arabs must be allowed to use the highway despite terrorism fears, and despite the fact that a parallel road was built alongside much of the highway exclusively for PA Arab travel.

The ruling aroused opposition among Israelis who regularly use the highway, including many Jerusalem residents who use the road to get to their jobs in the Tel Aviv area.

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Sunday railed on Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, predicting, "Democrats on Election Day 2010 are going to get an ass-whoopin' of biblical proportions if things don't change right now."

In an open letter to the White House, Moore placed the blame for Democrats' dismal electoral prospects in 2010 squarely on the shoulders of Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, recently a popular target for liberals dissatisfied with the White House's handling of healthcare.

ATLANTA – The billboard campaign that launched a thousand imitators marches south this week with a new location seen by thousands every day as they enter downtown Atlanta on the MARTA subway train from  Hartsfield International Airport.

As they say, you can't miss it.

Newest in 'Where's the Birth Certificate' billboard campaign, in Atlanta

The latest "Where's the birth certificate?" billboard is located on the I-20 between Turner Field and the Georgia Dome adjacent to the Morehouse School of Medicine on Whitehall Street.

"As I said all along when this billboard campaign got underway last spring, we're in this for the long-term – right through 2012, if necessary," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND, who conceived the idea for the controversial effort to call attention to Barack Obama's failure to prove he is constitutionally eligible for the office of the presidency.

But to sustain and grow the program, Farah is asking for donations from the public.

"This is a real economic stimulus program for the sagging billboard industry," says Farah. "In addition, it's a way to get a message out to the American public that the Big Media are determined to silence and ridicule."

In fact, many of the nation's billboards are owned and controlled by Big Media corporations, which banned the "Where's the birth certificate?" campaign from their locations shortly after it was launched.

Once before during the Middle Ages the Muslims spread out, conquering parts of Europe, Spain, France until Charles Martel (called "The Hammer") turned back a Muslim attack in 732 CE at Tours, France. Then Martel went on to clear Islamic attackers from southern France. Martel literally stopped the Islamization of Europe for at least 13 centuries. He pushed them back to their breeding grounds in the Middle East.

Once again, like locusts, they have emerged in greater numbers to impose their will on the rest of Western civilization. Their "will" is to create a Global Caliphate for Islam. There comes a time when the enemy must be faced in battle and NOW seems to be that time. All must be driven back to their nations of origin and there to practice their pagan religion as they see fit.

Clearly, the Judeo-Christian ways of the West are offensive to the eyes of a Muslim. Better they live under the whip of Sharia law and mandated ignorance through the teachings of their Imams and Mullahs.

Whatever roots they have sunk into the living body of Western Civilization must be ripped out for our pure self-preservation.

Something to think about!

Around 8 AM CST in the U.S., CNN ran a line of type across the bottom of the TV screen indicating that the Russians had called back their pilots from Iran.

However, Iran claimed that they had ordered the pilots to leave.

It could be that Russia didn’t ship its newest ground-to-air missiles to Iran and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in a rage, as usual. But, both Russia and Iran are experts in lying to cover-up whatever they may be plotting, especially in order to mislead Israeli and American Intelligence.

It may be nothing but, the Russians always seem to know what’s going on.

Some miscellaneous facts:

(Israelnationalnews.com)  British scientists have confirmed with DNA testing that an African tribe in northern South Africa that claims Semitic origins is telling the truth.

The Lemba, whose oral traditions state that their ancestors were Jews, practice customs that are remarkably similar to those of the House of Israel. They keep one day of the week holy, bless the new moon, circumcise their boys, slaughter meat in a ritual manner, avoid eating food with blood and do not eat pork. Some of the men wear yarmulkas (kippot), they strongly discourage marriage outside the tribe, and the custom of the tribe is to inscribe a Star of David on the gravestone of the deceased.

None of these practices are common among the peoples of Zimbabwe or South Africa.

The Lemba are also divided into 12 tribes, and among the Buba, the priestly class, was found the exact same DNA element as among those Jews of the priestly class elsewhere around the world.

Another rendering: “We Muslims are going to win because unlike westerners we do not fear violent death.”  This rendering would disturb the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes. He thought Englishman, like mankind in general, regarded violent death as the greatest evil.  Hobbes, the unknown founder of modern psychology, seems to have been ignorant of Islam.

“Tolerance was an American Christian contribution to the world. Just as you drop a pebble in the pond, the ripples go out, there was tolerance first for Puritans and then Protestants, then Catholics, then liberal Christians, and then it went out completely to Jews.  Then in the early 1960s, tolerance went out to anybody of any faith, monotheists or polytheist. Finally, within the last generation, tolerance went out to the atheist, the secular humanist and the anti-religious.  And the last ones in the boat decided it was too crowded and decided to push the first ones out.  So now we have a unique situation in America, where everybody is tolerated except the ones that came up with the idea.”  —Bill Federer

(Israelnationalnews.com) The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) Saturday charged Israeli police with sacrilege for surrounding the Temple Mount’s Al-Aqsa mosque on Friday to stop Arab stoning attacks on Jews trying to pray at Western Wall (Kotel). It called for international intervention to "end Israeli aggression."

The Arab attacks on Jews followed a sermon that area residents said encouraged Muslim violence.

Nearly three dozen policemen and Arabs were injured in the clash, and Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said the Israeli defense of Jews could spark a “religious war.” The OIC accused Israel of an "a sacrilegious act of profanation of the holy Islamic site [that was] "a violation of international law and a flagrant attack on the freedom of religion of the nature that could take the region into a war between religions.”

3.  Iran's super-capabilities:  Nuclear capabilities are developed in order to advance Iran's super-goal and defeat Iran's super-enemies.

4.  Iran's nuclear would be leveraged, mostly, to force US and NATO out of the Gulf and the Indian Ocean.  It would be leveraged against Iraq – its arch rival since the seventh century – and against Saudi Arabia, which Iran considers an apostate regime. All Gulf States are perceived by Iran as a key prize, required to control the flow and the price of oil and to bankroll Teheran's megalomaniac regional and global aspirations.

The clash over "global warming" has been ratcheted up another degree this week, with one member of Congress demanding U.S. taxpayer funding for the research be halted and scientists who have been accused of slipshod and deceptive work planning a campaign of retaliation against their critics.

The controversy moved to the front burner late last year when a series of e-mails was hacked from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain that indictate scientists were hiding and manipulating data and trying to marginalize critics.

The revelations were significant, because the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency signed two findings Dec. 7 that concluded greenhouse gases in the atmosphere "threaten the public health and welfare of current and future generations." The EPA's rulings could mean thousands of dollars in additional taxes for individual consumers.

Now,  Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Joe Barton, R-Texas, is citing the doubts about the integrity of "climate change" science in a letter asking for an accounting of U.S. taxpayer support for the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the IPCC.

The U.S. since 1994 has given some $50 million to the panel, and contributions under Obama now have doubled.

Barton, writing to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, asked the State Department to stop any contributions until an up-to-date audit is released.

"In recent months, the IPCC has come under significant criticism for the quality of its principal work product: the periodic assessments of the causes of climate change and related impacts from a changing climate," Barton wrote.

Thank you. It is great to be back in London. And it is great that this time, I got to see more of this wonderful city than just the detention centre at Heathrow Airport.

Today I stand before you, in this extraordinary place. Indeed, this is a sacred place. This is, as Malcolm always says, the mother of all Parliaments, I am deeply humbled to have the opportunity to speak before you.

Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for your invitation and showing my film ‘Fitna’. Thank you my friends for inviting me.

I first have great news. Last Wednesday city council elections were held in the Netherlands. And for the first time my party, the Freedom Party, took part in these local elections. We participated in two cities. In Almere, one of the largest Dutch cities. And in The Hague, the third largest city; home of the government, the parliament and the queen. And, we did great! In one fell swoop my party became the largest party in Almere and the second largest party in The Hague. Great news for the Freedom Party and even better news for the people of these two beautiful cities.

And I have more good news. Two weeks ago the Dutch government collapsed. In June we will have parliamentary elections. And the future for the Freedom Party looks great. According to some polls we will become the largest party in the Netherlands. I want to be modest, but who knows, I might even be Prime Minister in a few months time!

Clearly, it is long past the time for "transparent hearings" by Congress probing into what amounts to a cabal of powerful, political Arabist figures in Washington. They seem to act both surreptitiously and in public to protect Muslim and Arab nations who have acted against the general and security interests of America. The following article speaks of President Barack Hussein Obama’s envoys known for their hostility to Israel and their tilt to Arab Muslim Terror nations.

There have been undisclosed dealings with arch International Terrorists without benefit of Congressional and Intelligence Committee oversight. They may have colluded to bury the truth. A virtual parade of State Department high ranking "diplomats" going to Syria while others went to Iran to cut secret deals wherein this special interest group who acted as a "Shadow Government" in collusion with actual and virtual Terrorist nations with the intent of re-partitioning Israel.

That will precede the actual dismantling of the Jewish Nation/State after the job of weakening her is finished, if they can.

The Prosecution will be President Barack Hussein Obama and his existing "Shadow Government" Cabal that runs the American Government from behind the curtain. Israel will not be the first or last nation betrayed and lost by both perfidious Friends and Allies who may have their own dark interests.

(Israelnationalnews.com) A young Palestinian Authority (PA) Arab girl was found wandering alone in the Jewish town of Yitzhar in Samaria on Thursday evening. The child found shelter with a Jewish woman whose husband is accused by Israel's civil administration in Samaria of posing a danger to Arabs.

For Naomi Ofan of Yitzhar, the story began when she heard a knock at the door. Naomi, who recently gave birth to her seventh child, was alone with her children. Her husband, Nerya, has been forbidden to enter Samaria by an administrative order, allegedly due to concern that he could harm PA Arabs. Administrative orders of this type  have been used at the discretion of the civil administration in Judea and Samaria for preventive purposes, without need to prove any actions on thepart of the person involved. 

Naomi opened the door and found a young girl standing alone. She invited the child in, gave her water, and attempted to figure out where her parents were.

"She looked around five years old. Her clothes were a bit strange, she didn't look Arab,” Ofan recalled. “I gave her water and candy, she ate happily and didn't say a word. It was only when I noticed that she was barefoot that I thought she might be Arab. I asked her in Arabic, 'What is your name?' and she said 'Manara.'”

TO ALL THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT ISRAEL – IT IS URGENT THAT YOU ATTEND THE COUNTER-PROTEST RALLY

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.

‘In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe ?’

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe . This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe .

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.
