He may be from the wrong party, and even the wrong continent, but candidate David Cameron is just what the doctor ordered not only for England, but as a solid example of the kinds of leaders needed in the next 4 years of US elections.

Speaking to the Conservative or Tory Party in Manchester, England while seeking Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s chair, Cameron comes across as remarkably genuine and uplifting. His platform is beyond appealing, a beacon for his home country and ours across the pond.

He is a man that stands for bringing back greater personal responsibility, complete transparency from top to bottom, eliminating the corruption of governance in his own government and the derogatory European Union known for its tyranical and financial abuses.

He wants to see the reins of EU pulled back and England restored to it own soverign choices, restoring family values, re-empowering police to work with local communities instead of progressing the police state and detrimental EU bureaucracies that distance government from the people and their needs while unduly enriching criminal-like appointees. He wants to strip away all red-tape and allow small entrepreneurs to more easily start new businesses that grow the economy and jobs, eliminating over taxation, and a long list of grievances corrected across the board–far too many to list here.

Watching Cameron, one gets the distinct impression he is a great public steward, of the kind America once had and has not seen in either party for decades. England will likely flourish under such a leader while America watches, hopeful it may find such great poltical medicine for its own ailments.

Most Americans will never come to know Cameron or his speeches unless he is elected, and even then, they will not know much more after but what they pick up in the occasional sound bite. However, if we were a nation of citizens who actually cared about America and our coming leaders, we would all take the time to get to know Cameron because in knowing him, in hearing his articulations, we can see what true leadership is and what true change would be like through his vision—a vision that could just as easily save America as England; a vision missing from our major parties and their endemic corruption that is eating away at our society and country like a wicked cancer.

If I were a poltician of today, I would instantly adopt Cameron’s platform and win hands down in all my elections, big or small, for his viewes and approaches reflect the trend of today’s voter–a citzenry starved for competency and true accountability and common sense in their government.

Take the time to watch his inspiring speech on C-SPAN recorded 10-8-09 (http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/289357-1) and see what America has been missing in its body politic—see the kind of change that most Americans had sought in their last presidential election but were completely duped—for President Obama is clearly the quentisential American polician—a dupictious beguiler who will say anything to get elected, and once elected, will not keep his promises but instead brings greater harm to America.

Analysis By Xelan Bonn (Feb 2, 2010) www.xelanbonn.com

It reads like a surreal Hollywood movie but this threat is about as scary as they come…

A man we’ll call Hasid, a member of Al Qaeda, accesses a well used human trafficking system starting in Egypt. He arrives in Venezuela where he begins to learn Spanish. He changes his name and acquires a Venezuelan passport before taking the second leg of his trip to southern Mexico. There he is housed in a secure terrorist training camp while he refines his Spanish language skills and appearance and awaits Mexican identification documents from bribed federal officials. Soon after receiving his documents, he reaches the US southern border where he hires a professional “coyote” to traffic him safely across one of thousands of known security holes along the US border. Once in the US, Hasid uses the extensive black market of identity theft created around the illegal immigration industry to obtain a green card and social security card—which he then uses to obtain a state identification card, and even a driver’s license. Next, he travels to Texas and obtains employment with a company that services nuclear power facilities. He uses his false documents and easily passes a security clearance because the false or stolen name he’s using is clean. He’s assigned to go to work in Florida, to provide maintenance painting on a nuclear reactor. Although escorted at all times while at the facility, at one point he turns on his guard and garrotes him to death. Now free to move around, he removes his belt, which is actually C-4 plastic explosive and assembles a gun from hidden parts in his shoes and toolkit. Next, he uses part of the explosive to gain entry to the nuclear power plant’s control room where he kills a guard and one supervisor, then plants the remaining amount of his explosives on the safety controls. Ten minutes after the explosion, the core is overheating and soon after a meltdown occurs but not before Hasid has opened all the outside emergency vents to ensure a breach through the containment shield. Hours later, a deadly radiation cloud drifts over Citrus Country Florida, dooming tens of thousands to sure death—millions across the eastern seaboard will die before the month is through. Two thousand patriotic suicide volunteers will go into the melt-down sight to affect containment and clean-up—the land and hundreds of miles of surrounding environment will be contaminated for the next 50,000 years–many endanged species will be gone forever as household pets by the tens of thousands die painfully.

This almost happened not once, but several times!

Okay, you guessed it, this story is only a composite illustration of the facts and is based, in large part, on actual events. Let’s look at some of those facts…

In 2005, illegal workers, painters, actually did penetrate and gain access to a Florida nuclear reactor. (1) The human trafficking aspect of reaching from Egypt to Venezuela, Mexico and into the heart of the US, all while the alien secures new identity papers is a proven reality—as are the mention of terrorist camps inside Mexico. (2) In fact, there is not any part of the illustrative story above that is not already backed up by a perceived or known security threat revealed by US government officials. And yet, all the holes have been left open since 9-11-2001—why?

“Between 1999 and 2001, the FBI prevented 10 possible domestic terrorists incidents, including two potentially large scale…” reported FBI Director Robert Mueller to Congress. (3)

“There are 100 or more Al Qaeda operatives inside the United States, some of whom have been here for a considerable period of time,” said Senator Bob Graham of Florida, Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in a 2002 CNN interview. (4)

“If smugglers can bring in tons of marijuana and cocaine at one time, and can smuggle 20 to 30 persons at one time, one can just imagine how easy it would be to bring in 2 or 3 terrorists or their weapons of mass destruction…and not be detected,” said Zapata County Texas Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzales during Congressional hearings. (2)

“There is no question that Al Qaeda is trying to acquire nuclear weapons: U.S. intelligence agencies have long believed that al-Qaeda attempted to acquire a nuclear device on the black market, but say there is no evidence it was successful,” reported USA Today. (5)

Now contrast those facts to these:

“Sixteen illegal immigrants last year worked on construction at one of the most sensitive [nuclear] weapons sites in the country, according to a report issued by the Department of Energy’s Inspector General,” –CNN, 2005. (6)

In 2002, ten illegal aliens were found working at a nuclear submarine base in San Diego, CA. (7)

In 2005, a confirmed al-Qaida terrorist (Iraqi national on the FBI’s terrorist list) was captured in Mexico just inside the border, planning his entry into the US before he was turned over to the Brewster County Sheriff, according to Rep. Culberson speaking to ABC Radio host Sean Hannity. (12)

It gets even more terrifying…

In 2009, ironically on Thanksgiving, 33 Cubans—not Al Qaeda luckily (this time)—came on shore, accessing the supposedly impenetrable Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant facility offering up yet one more major hole in our national security. (8) The news story almost reads like a comedy until one realizes it means any small team of Al Qaeda commandos can mount a water-based offensive from virtually any base in the Caribbean and penetrate our most sensitive nuclear installations toward invoking deadly sabotage.

[Is such a fact a good argument for building more nuclear facilities, Mr. Obama—at least with coal, solar, tidal, and gas power, if they break down or are sabotaged, 20 million Americans don’t die!]

Betweeen 2001 and 2005 (June), the Department of Homeland Security admitted to knowingly releasing (without background checks) onto US streets, 45,008 illegal aliens from countries that sponsor terrorism. (13)

Now try not to panic as you absorb these equally terrifying statistics:

1. ”Up to 15 of the 9/11 hijackers could have been intercepted or deported through more diligent enforcement of immigration laws,” according to Congress, the 9-11 tragedy did not have to happen! (9)

2. During 2005, Border Patrol apprehended approximately 650 people coming from countries known to sponsor terrorism. (2, p2) Using conservative data points and assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens in the US, this means approximately 13,000 aliens are potential terrorists. (11)

3. Using the FBI’s own capture and control rate for terrorist in the US (about 140 per year), it will take over 92 years to remove all the potential terrorist on US soil unless a massive and agressive round-up is conducted (like the one President Eisenhower used in 1954 to rid America of 1 million aliens in 4 months)! (10)

These realities, collectively, dictate that you and your family are not safe in America and that the number one threat to your safety is actually illegal aliens, hence illegal immigration. Yes, there are some non-criminal illegal aliens who are not otherwise national security threats, but by allowing them a free ride on the law, we are also allowing potential and real terrorist a pass too!

The bottom line is that illegal immigration is causing a severe national security crisis and it is the single greatest threat to this nation’s security. We are self-creating our own recipe for ensuring the death of millions of Americans—our leaders know better—they have all been informed of this grave threat to our nation and yet do nothing, hence will be 100% at fault when mass American deaths befall us at the hands of foreign terrorists—they should be severely punished now (not later)—for they are, today, knowingly placing us all in jeopardy, which is a violation of our Constitution and Rights as states and individuals as well as our laws on treason (for they are knowingly helping a declared enemy—Al Qaeda, by deliberately watering down our national security protections).

America has dodged more than its fair share of threats by pure luck and one day soon, luck is going to be on the side of our enemies—and one enemy, Al Qaeda, has already proven itself smart enough at finding security holes and using them for their own good—ask the families of the 9-11 victims.

Yet apparently, We The People would rather lay our children on the alter of blood sacrifice and appease our reckless leaders and unlawful foreigners and safeguard the unlawful immigration industry rather than safeguard our country and its citizens—who needs fluffy, grandpa, and little Sally anyway—right (screw’m if they can’t take a nuclear disaster joke, says Congress and the White House through it’s actions)!

Most Americans have never read the U.S. Constitution. The reasons are many but largely because they have, up until recently, always trusted their leaders were reading it, and moreover, following it. It has been such blind trust by the public, in part, that has lead our nation to the brink of collapse—the death of capitalism—the death of our dollar—the death of freedom—the death of our Constitution and Republic. And it all has one thing in common—campaign financing corruption.

Today, our government looks very little like the government planed for and intended by the Founding Fathers. In fact, it’s not only an absurdity, but an embarrassment to, and affront on, all U.S. citizens and Constitutionalist who have taken the time to research the roots of their nation and underlying fears the founders had regarding tyranny that lead to the single greatest Constitution in world history (proven by America being the last remaining, albeit dying, Superpower). There are many reasons as to why, over the decades, our leaders have forsaken and chipped away at our Constitution, but chief among them has been the corrupted system of campaign financing, which has negatively impacted otherwise good people and leaders.

Then and now, our leaders make decisions not based on the needs of the Constitution or voters, but on the needs of campaign funders–often in backroom deals unseen and unknown by the public until a new, bad bill is slapped on American backs that supports such special interests.

InternetCampaign Financing Issues
In America, it has always taken money to win elections. Just the basic expenses are out of reach for most citizens, so if someone intends to run for public office, then they must solicit aid and funds from others. And therein lies the fatal flaw in our campaign funding system. Overcoming such a flaw requires wisdom and common sense, both of which are often absent in today’s political arenas.

Those who contribute more to elections (and re-elections) of course, garner more political favors once the candidate is in office. Sometimes, those contributing do not only contribute funding or access to it, but also votes, clout, and power, which tends to indenture the candidate throughout their rein. Today, such influencers do not have to be U.S. citizens or U.S. based companies in order to help candidates (even though many of our laws prohibit such).

The reality is, for every campaign financing law, there are two or more loopholes that allow virtually anyone or country or entity anywhere in the world to participate in and influence our national elections, especially given rules and regulations regarding Internet fund raising. For example, in the last Presidential election, candidate Barack Obama was alleged to have garnered what some researchers estimated was over $200 million in Internet donations, much of which was thought to come from persons and entities outside the United States, including countries such as Saudia Arabia, Iran, and China. Although one alerting e-mail message in particular that was sent to tens of thousands of Americans was considered anonymously authored and partially inaccurate, the bigger issues and questions it raised have yet to be fully investigated and remedied by Congress. (1)

For example, small campaign donations made online use the honor system, whereby the person submitting the campaign donation merely pledges they are staying within the laws of campaign financing—there is no verification or policing action or way to ensure enforcement of such provisions, which opens the entire system up to a major national security threat from election fraud and undue foreign influence in elections.

Superme Court Aids Corporate Influencers
Compounding the problems of foreign influence in our campaigns and political landscapes, a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling (Jan 2010) gave the green light for corporations to spend as much as they wish on indirect political issues that do not specially mention a candidate by name. Corporations are not prohibited from inferences or obvious logical conclusions in such political messages that might tend to impeach a candidate.

Meanwhile, other current laws that still forbid foreign influence in our political processes still have more holes than a 50-year-old sieve.

While foreign corporations may be excluded from directly influencing elections, they can use a variety of loopholes to overcome such laws. One such loophole is to set-up a U.S. based nonprofit (i.e. Move On, La Raza, etc.) and then fund it with offshore funds (and eventually US sources as well). Acting as essentially a “front”, the nonprofit then proceeds to press its political viewpoints on the public as if it is a domestic-centered entity.

Another commonly used loophole (especially now, given the Supreme Court ruling) is for foreign countries or companies (transnational corporations are well known for this) to establish a US based corporation and then feed it capital through a series of dummy offshore accounts or from its mother corporation or sister subsidiaries and then use that capital in the US to purchase political or institutional ads and airtime—all through the “front” US-based corporation.

The federal government is realistically unable to police these loopholes effectively and the benefit of the doubt is routinely given to all US based corporations or nonprofits. However, the reality is that these loopholes allow anyone, from any country, or of any political leanings (i.e. Marxist, Socialist, Progressives, etc.) or of any foreign government in disguise, to easily affect schemes that greatly influence our national elections–contrary to our laws and intents for such laws. What’s needed is a major overhaul of not only our campaign and political message funding laws, but of campaign financing systems in America.

Campaign Financing Reform Is Nearly Impossible
The dark reality is, the chances of US citizens getting such changes are almost zero. Here’s why…

Corporations, for the most part, are the top money players with the big pockets that fund our elections and back most of our candidates. In turn, the candidates are controlled, to a large extent, by those that funded them and get them elected. Corporations like having their power to control elections—the companies with the most money, of course, get to rule America and they are not going to allow their candidates to ever affect campaign financing reform or laws that have any real teeth.

It is highly unlikely America will ever be able to restrict corporations (both foreign and domestic) from our political processes. Hence, our system is permanently corrupted, for our leaders, and not the people, are in charge of the laws and they make the laws to suit their corporate controllers—period.

Campaign Reform Remedy Proposal
In the US, the major expense for all candidates is their need to run their ads on the air (radio and TV). Over 85% of all funds raised go for this aspect. However, this cost could be easily eliminated without costing US taxpayers a dime (more on this in a moment). If such an expense were eliminated, then a much smaller amount of public donated money would be needed, hence greater restrictions could be set in place under campaign financing reform (if our leaders decided to help America survive and thrive once again).

For example, corporations, which the US Supreme Court has given status equal to (some would say above) those of any US citizen, could also be limited in the precise same way as US citizens in their campaign financing rules. If, for example, a US citizen can donate up to $3,000 in a year for a campaign, then so should and could the limit be made on corporations. Thus, the playing field is leveled and US citizens and their voice remains heard in the body politic.

Other rules could then be put in place to deny domestic corporations with strong tries to foreign or transnational corporations or who are transnational corporations, from participating in any political messaging whatsoever. They could be so designated by the federal government as foreign-based corporations even if they have domestic status. The same goes for international nonprofits with domestic arms (i.e. Move On, La Raza, etc.). Prohibiting Internet donations that do not include payment by check and proper I.D. (i.e. Driver’s License) should help eliminate most online abuses.

Such reform aspects will easily resolve the vast majority of our campaign loopholes so long as we can eliminate candidates (or the public) having to foot the bill for airtime—and we can. Here’s how…

The great news is, the public owns the rights to all airwaves in the United States. All broadcasting licenses are owned by “We The People’s” federal government and are leased to private companies that must meet certain rules and conditions in order to keep the license. All we have to do is rewrite the rules and conditions on such licenses to ensure all authorized candidates in election years are given, free of charge from the private company holding the licenses, equal allotments of airtime as may be specified by campaign financing reform laws. If any broadcaster does not like the change in the rules, they are free to turn their licenses back into the federal government so that others can take up such licenses (relax–nobody is going to turn in their license–believe me–no matter how much they cry).

Yes, broadcasters will lose yearly campaign revenues, however, the alternative is they could lose their entire broadcast licenses altogether instead of merely less than 1/2% of their total year’s airtime—which in turn, is put to use for the greater public good. Candidates get free airtime, the public provides the service free, broadcasters provide the systems for free in order to maintain their licenses, and taxes do not have to rise.

The remaining 15% of unfunded campaign financing will come from US citizens and corporations (up to $3,000 per candidate) and from matching federal funds provided under current campaign financing laws. Best of all, candidates would then be elected based on their merits, not based on their corporate sponsorship and they would no longer be beholding to anyone after taking office, except their convictions and voters–what a concept–government in the hands of the people once again. (Wow, didn’t I read something about such a “by the people, for the people” concept somewhere… maybe… oh yeah, in that old discarded thing they call the U.S. Constitituton!)

And yes, in case you’re wondering, the very same system could be put in place for each state. In fact, states could begin this process without the federal government, but that is another story altogether.

We have all heard the sad stories of Haiti and the lack of supplies, including housing, water, food and medicine. Among the primary issues keeping such things from reaching their mark is logistics issues and the lack of personnel both in Haiti and in companies supplying Haiti.

When we donate help to Haiti it should come at a price and that price should be, we take control of emergency operations until there is no longer an emergency situation—why, because we are better trained and equipped than Haiti and its all but nonfunctioning government (that is highly corrupt even when it does function).

President Obama pledged millions of dollars in relief to Haiti but instead should have pledged a few million less and pledged a US workforce instead.

In the US, close to 18 percent of Americans are unemployed, including those who no longer receive unemployment benefits and have given up (are not generally included in official figures). This means there are plenty of people sitting around doing nothing that could be put back to work benefiting the US and the world—let’s start with Haiti where it’s needed most.

The President could have formed say something like the Emergency Corp of American Workers (ECAW) and simply put out a call for applicants with basic skills in areas of logistics, building, manufacturing, etc. and within days, hired over 100,000 skilled workers to go to Haiti and begin major relief efforts—let this group lead and organize the secondary phase of relief and third phase of rebuilding as opposed to simply handing over money to Haiti.

Right now, there are vacant fields that have been cleared for tent cities but no tents. US manufacturers could either provide ready-made tents or raw materials that could be dropped by parachutes onto the sight and ECAW crews could begin the assembly process in preparing the city. If there is a need to build the tents from raw materials, then ECAW could hire locals to do the manufacturering using makeshift tools, such as portable generators (airlifted and parachuted down), sewing machines, etc. There would be no need for planes to land, hence no delays in receiving materials to build the city.

Once ECAW crews built the city, they could move on to the next city location until all the temporary housing facilities were completed, then on to building permanent infrastructure using Haitian employees under their skilled management.

The result would be that Haiti would get quicker action and relief in a more timely manner, and the US wins by putting many Americans who want to help and who want to work back to work—that’s win win for both countries (not to mention a positive news opporuntiy for a president that could use some positive news about now).

Unfortunately, such innovative, common sense ideas are far too intelligent, humanitarian, and actually helpful for both countries and traditionally not in the thinking of most presidents—Obama is no exception and we all know the history of President Bush with Katrina.

by Xelan Bonn (Jan 28, 2010) www.XelanBonn.com

The headline above essentially summed up President Obama’s State of the Union speech among news analyst, opinion makers, and focus groups.

A variety of criticism avalanched across Obama’s bow after his largely defiant and lecturing speech that offered some glorious, even inspiring moments that echoed (some say repeated) his campaign and victory speeches. We want to believe, is the silent but unfulfilled outcry among the masses.

The primary call of complaint was that the president has failed to deliver on each and every promise he ever made on the campaign trial, from opening up government and giving us more transparency (such as CSPAN access instead of closed door healthcare), to uniting the Congress with bi-partisan approaches to governing, to securing the nation from war, to increasing jobs and decreasing unemployment, to even closing Guantanamo (a good failure according to most Americans), and more.

The nation sat and watched, still smoldering, still feeling overwhelmingly disgusted by Obama’s new policy to treat terrorists as mere criminals instead of enemy combatants, thus ensuring critical erosion of our national security protections–a policy that could, if left to stand, finally be responsible for the deaths of millions of Americans who could otherwise have been saved by military intelligence gathering that is now being eliminated. It’s the silent killer elephant issue in the room that Obama’s administration cannot defend and it colors his actions and speeches, no matter how great–sadly.

The overriding reality was that Obama had no excuses for his first year’s poor performance with the Democrats in complete control of both houses and ready to do his bidding—if he could have just lead—something he never did and appears incapable of doing to many of those on the Hill.

Today, the stones are hailing on Obama’s all but failed administration as public resentment and discontent soars and the nation struggles economically. Yet the chief reason for Obama’s failure is Obama—his unwillingness to move to a moderate center where he can meet Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats to actually get things done on behalf of the nation—instead, electing to stay the course from a hard left (socialist) vantage that has been clearly rejected by the American people (and why not, given that over 75 percent of the nation’s voters are either moderates or conservatives).

Obama remains one of the most inspiring, beautiful, and eloquent speakers and speechmakers of the 21st Century—truly beguiling at times—but the masses have now broken from their collective hypnotism and ascended from the ether to see the true man and his harmful policies and approaches to governing—his disdain for America—and the people are fed-up—the honeymoon period is long over.

In record time, Obama went from sitting on high with the hope of a nation, to wallowing in the gutter and Americans looking ahead to the next election—everyone hoping America herself can withstand and survive the remaining days of an Obama presidency—hoping the Republicans will keep him reined in and honest and socialism away from the Halls of power and America.
