Subject: US Air Force contract . . . . Must Read


   

    Is this really true?

       
        This is no miss-print folks!  U.S. owned Hawker Beechcraft was informed by the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION last week, that it will not be allowed to bid for a U.S. Air Force contract to build light attack aircraft!!  It appears now that Brazilian owned ?Embraer? as the likely winner of this defense contract.  By the way, George Soros has ties to this Brazilian company.  Poor Leadership, Poor Choices, Anti-American -  Barrack Hussein Obama!  This is a defense contract being handed to a foreign country and main stream media is nowhere near this story.  As ESPN says  ?COME ON MAN?!!  The country needs to know this?.
       
       

                   
                   
                    Consider this treasonous action by BHO & his crew...  "Protect and Defend " ??
                   
                     
                    Just when you think you've heard it all......
                   

                       

                               
                               
                                "Any president whose actions so consistently refute his own words must have deep contempt for the intelligence of the American public."
                               
                                The obama administration told U.S. owned Hawker Beechcraft earlier this week they are being excluded from bidding on the US Air Force contract for a light attack aircraft. That leaves Brazilian owned Embraer as the likely recipient of the lucrative deal. I found this one hard to believe so I did a little research. It was tough because this was completely ignored by the main stream media. The information is out there on several conservative sites. Please see the two articles linked below.
                                This is a double slap in the face of the United States. At a time when jobs, the economy, and security are the most critical priorities for our country, the Obama administration decides to send a defense contract to a foreign owned company.
                                This has to be the stupidest thing this administration has done to date. This is not just a dumb decision, it is a perfect example of why this president is such a poor leader. He talks about wanting jobs. He says we need to force companies to repatriate billions of dollars that Americans keep overseas. He wants to raise taxes so he can spend billions on stimulus that does nothing to stimulate anything.
                               
                                And when it?s time to act, he sends our tax dollars overseas at the expense of American jobs and income for an American company. This is nothing more than a Chicago-style political pay back; but this time it is at the expense of our national security.
                               
                                How much more damage will obama be allowed to do in the next 14 months? One of the lead stories in the media this week blasted congress for insider trading. If this contract goes to Embraer it will be a huge pay off to another George Soros company.
                               
                                When will the 4th estate do it?s constitutionally protected job and expose the real obama to the American people?

The Vulcans are landing: Black firefighters to visit homes of new applicants

By NAYABA ARINDE Amsterdam News Editor | Posted: Thursday, January 5, 2012 12:00 am

It is quite likely that some inner-city residents may be visited by the Vulcans this weekend.

The Vulcan Society wants you.

The national organization of Black firefighters is making sure that applicants who filled out the paperwork to take the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) entrance exam scheduled for next month don't get lost in the shuffle and fall off the map.

Starting this Saturday, Jan. 7, Black firefighters will be knocking on doors of Black applicants to encourage them to follow through and complete their applications.

"There are about 2,000 Black applicants for the Fire Department of New York who haven't finished the paperwork for their applications or completed their waivers," said Mike Marshall, first vice president of the Vulcan Society.

During the recruitment drive last year, the city stated that people who were unemployed or in receipt of public assistance could get a waiver so they would not have to pay the $25 fee to apply to take the FDNY exam.

"They had to send in their ID and get a notarized letter stating that they were unemployed. These 2,000 people will not be eligible to take the test if they don't complete their paperwork by the end of January. We don't want to lose 2,000 Black applicants," said Marshall, who works out of Engine 257 in Canarsie.

"We don't want to lose 2,000 applicants just because they didn't fill out the paperwork and can't take the exam," he said.

The volunteering Vulcans will be knocking on the doors of applicants for the next three Saturdays. "We will be in teams of two going to certain addresses of people who have not completed their waivers or applications," Marshall explained.

Citing the city's "pattern and practice of discrimination against Black firefighter candidates," as well non-whites already on the job, Brooklyn Judge Nicholas Garaufis sided with a lawsuit brought against the FDNY by the Vulcan Society and the Justice Department.

In November, the federal judge appointed former federal prosecutor Mark S. Cohen as a court monitor to ensure diversity in the FDNY's hiring practices.

The city objected, but the appointment stayed and will be in place for the next 10 years.

"The whole lawsuit was about the city diversifying the FDNY," said Marshall, a lieutenant with 30 years on the job. "The Vulcans always wanted to help, but the city has always been reluctant. What we are doing, the city could be doing."

When asked about the city making phone calls to applicants, Marshall was not particularly moved. "Well, sometimes they have gotten no answer or answering machines or the numbers were not correct," he said. "But we are going to try to assist the FDNY in their efforts. We want to be in touch with the people who have not completed their applications. We want to help them get on the job."

While the FDNY isn't exactly in love with the idea, officials recognize that in order to redress the imbalance in a city that is over 60 percent Black and Brown, but with membership of 3 and just over 6 percent, respectively, something's got to give.

The numbers aren't great. The FDNY sent the AmNews their racial breakdown on request:

7372 white

314 Black

646 Hispanic

77 Asian

5 Native American

"The firefighters are still only 3 percent and the officers are 2 percent-less than 40 are Black officers. We want to increase the numbers of Blacks on the job," said Capt. Paul Washington, a 23-year vet who now works out of Engine 234 in Crown Heights.

City attorney Georgia Pestana, chief of the Labor & Employment Law Division of the New York City Law Department, determined, "We continue to have concerns about the Vulcans making unannounced visits to applicants' homes, but of course we will comply with the court's order."

John Coombs, president of the Vulcan Society, told the AmNews, "It's very important that all of the candidates who applied to join the New York City Fire Department do continue through the process. If they are to receive waivers, they must complete that form and they must complete the application form."

Coombs reflected on the many years it has taken and the many minds and hearts that toiled in the struggle to get Black men and women into a resistant FDNY. "Whatever it is the applicants need to do to continue the process that so many have worked hard and long for to ensure equality in the New York City fire department, they must do. This is an opportunity for the community as a whole to say thank you by at least doing their part."

"Around 3,000 out of 60,000 people have not finished their applications About 2,000 [of those] are Black," said Washington.

Last year's heavy recruitment drive resulted in 23 percent Black and 23 percent Latino applicants.

Stressing that the mission of the Vulcans has always been simply to address the racial imbalance in the FDNY, Washington said he is not worried about the perception that they are just pushing to get more Black folk on the job, since the numbers were so appalling in a city with a majority Black and Brown population. "A lot of Black candidates just don't know what a great opportunity this is. Many white candidates have family members on the job who can tell them how great a job it is. They can hold their hands and walk them through the process.

"We won this through Judge Garaufis, through the lawsuit," Washington said. "The city fought us in every stage, but the judge agreed with us about the FDNY's pattern of discrimination, and he appointed Mark Cohen to be the court monitor. We argued this plan of home visits in front of him, but the city said that they didn't agree and didn't want to give us the list of names of the candidates. The monitor sided with us."

Lt. Marshall, who works out of Engine 257 in Canarsie, said that applicants will be visited by Black firefighters and officers. "A lot of the Vulcans live in the areas where they work, in the same areas as many of the applicants."

"We just want to impress upon the people what a great job this is, and to have a Black firefighter there in person telling them this and explaining to them the great benefits has to be a bonus," Washington concluded.

"In the white community, they might have their father, their cousin or their uncle or their neighbor who is on the job. Not all, but the ones who are the most successful do have this. We just want to give a helping hand to the Black applicants who don't have this resource in their immediate family but do have it with us."'

.....................................MORE BULLSHIT......WHEN NOBODY SHOWS UP FOR A TEST THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE TO GO OUT & TWIST ARMS TO GET SOMEONE TAKE IT.

 
This is one for the lesson books.


Physics lesson. Lucky man.
Turn your sound up..........so you can hear the bullet head back.
This guy is shooting a 50 cal rifle. Watch the dust when he fires. The target is a steel plate, 1000 yards (.57 miles, 10 foot ball fields) away. You can hear the ping of the hit and then hear the bullet coming back. It hits the ground just in front of him, then bounces up, hits the earmuffs, knocking them from his head. The footage is amazing. If you haven't heard a ricochet before, you can hear the bullet as it tumbles through the air on its course back toward the shooter.

For those of you that wish to, consider the probability the bullet hitting the ground in exactly the right place to bounce up at the correct trajectory angle to hit his ear protection, not over, or under them. Fortunately the tumble, or the angle of the plate he was shooting at changed the return course of the bullet by 6 inches "left" over half a mile's worth of travel distance (right eye dominant sighting - left ear-cup impact). Otherwise it would have been a "return one hop head?shot", instead of an earphone shot.
The ..50 caliber sniper rifle is an impressive piece of gear.


 
Press Release

White applicants for upcoming FDNY test given special treatment denied to Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and others.

Merit Matters has become aware of a ?pilot program? approved by Special Monitor Mark Cohen and Judge Nicholas Garaufis that will benefit one group of applicants while excluding all others- and the race of the applicants is the sole determining factor in the decision to do so.

The bold headline at the top of this page is correct in all but one point- it is blacks who are being afforded special treatment, and whites and others who are being excluded.

Those who were outraged upon reading the headline should still be outraged; why wouldn?t they be? Discrimination against one is discrimination against all, is it not? As Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has opined, the way to stop discrimination based on race is to stop discriminating based on race.

The ?pilot program? (which is worrisome, as a pilot program is often expanded and becomes entrenched as official policy) to visit the homes of black applicants (and no other group) to allow them to ?follow up? on incomplete applications is completely unacceptable to Merit Matters, and should be to everyone. Immediately upon learning of it we made numerous requests to the FDNY Recruitment Unit, FDNY EEO Unit and the Special Monitor because, while we don?t believe anyone should be allowed to submit a ?completed? application 4 months after the application period has ended, if one group is allowed to all should be and Merit Matters would provide volunteers to visit all applicants- regardless of race. Our requests, which were first made before Christmas, were turned down and the first of three weekends of visits occurred this past weekend.

Another worrisome aspect of this episode is the reaction- or, more correctly, the lack of a reaction- to this blatantly racist act by the FDNY EEO Unit. In our contacts with them we urged that this Unit take whatever action is necessary to oppose and stop this discriminatory action or else explain how it does not violate FDNY EEO Policy which reads in part:

The Fire Department is firmly committed to maintaining fair employment practices for its employees and applicants and ensuring that employment decisions are made without regard to color?gender?race?religion?

The advice given to us by EEO was to contact the NYC Law Department (which, to its credit, opposed this pilot program but was forced to comply with the court?s order), an avenue we were already pursuing. We responded by advising that an issue such as this is squarely in the EEO area of concern and should be addressed by them- but our advice went ignored. Perhaps the new leadership doesn?t realize that the first ?E? in EEO stands for ?Equal?, not ?Extra?.

Merit Matters continues to call for equal treatment for all candidates and will visit anyone and everyone if the court allows. Time is of the essence, however, as the test is scheduled to begin at the end of February.

Please contact me with any questions.

I have been going through hell trying to get hired by a full time department. I was having alot of hope that the MWAA was gonna hire me but was sent an email letting me know I dont qualify to take the test. I was a USMC firefighter, a contract firefighter in Iraq and have a few certifications from Illinois. In the USMC we are maily aircraft firefighters. So it is very weird that I was told I dont qualify for a positon I have over 5 years of experience. I am gonna be flying out to try and take the FDNY test even though I know that is a long shot. I know alot of guys out there who come back home from the military who want to be a firefighter or a cop and it is extremely difficult to find anything. I wish I could go back in time when you were hired by being the best. Not hired because your skin color. I wish these cities would be all about hiring FORMER MILITARY people first. You never hear about cities going out of there way to help veterans to be hired, they only care about the skin color of the applicants. Its a very sad country when someone defends his country and comes home and has to jump over a bunch of obstacles to get a job, when others are given a red carpet. 
 
Thanks Chief, Now I will be pissed off all day. We dumped millions of dollars into Libya to "Free" them this past year and this is the Thanks we get! Kill them all, let God, not allah, sort them out!
 
I had to stop watching truly sick! Hopefully they will all die a slow painful death at the hands of the infedels GOD BLESS AMERICA

VICTIMIZED: Squatters turned Arlington Village in Brooklyn into a prostitution den, according to a resident

LAW, SHUCKS: Andres Perez is part of a city-funded program teaching people to break into vacant properties.

City-funded activist group teaches homeless how to invade apartments

By MICHAEL GARTLAND

It?s breaking and entering for dummies.

Picture the Homeless, a Bronx nonprofit that has received at least $240,000 in taxpayer money in the last five years, is giving a crash course on squatting ? and city-owned buildings are a prime target.

Two weeks ago, board member Andres Perez held a teach-in on how to wrest ?control? of vacant apartments. He called it ?homesteading.?

?The best time to enter a building is in the late hours,? he advised a group of about 20, who gathered in front of the half-empty East New York housing complex Arlington Village.

?You make sure you have your proper tools. You remove the chains and padlock, and then you go in.?

He then led them through the next steps ? including filling out a change-of-address form at the post office and setting up utilities. After that, ?nine out of 10 times the courts will allow you to be able to have control of the property,? he said.

But squatting school outraged legal residents of Arlington Village.

?I can?t let nobody squat where I live,? said Pete Rolon, 64, a 35-year resident who claimed pimps had grabbed two apartments in the complex. ?There were hookers. They were smoking crack. There were condoms all over the floor. There were hundreds of them.?

He remembers when the complex of 12 two-story, red-brick buildings was filled with families and children playing.

Police and residents eventually forced the sex-trade squatters out last fall, according to Rolon.

Mohammed Hossain, the super at Arlington, where pads go for $600 to $1,000 per month, said complaints about homeless people breaking in to steal pipes and metal fixtures are common.

?The homeless people, they have no right to be squatting here,? he said. ?If they pay rent, that?s different.?

Residents also aren?t happy about city tax money going to a group that preaches squatting.

?That?s not right,? said one longtime resident. ?That these guys are teaching classes on this ? that?s ridiculous.?

The Web site for Picture the Homeless boasts a list of accomplishments that includes sending ?delegations to the World Social Forum in Brazil.?

Perez, 46, a former city Housing Authority worker, said the group has ?two major campaigns.? One is dedicated to opposing the NYPD?s ?stop-and-frisk? policy. The other involves schooling people about ?warehoused? property.

Homesteading, he lectured, is a permanent occupation, while squatting is only temporary ?clubhousing.?

?The best properties are city-owned properties or bank-owned properties,? he said. ?They warehouse these properties. They?re sitting on them.?

Picture the Homeless?s annual taxpayer funding is approved by the City Council and administered through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

?We absolutely don?t condone the practice of squatting,? said HPD spokesman Eric Bederman. ?It?s illegal, and it?s dangerous.?

Bederman added that his agency has no control over Picture the Homeless?s funding. ?It?s the City Council?s decision,? he said.

Robin Levine, a City Council spokeswoman, said, ?We?re deeply troubled by reports that Picture the Homeless is instructing New Yorkers in how to engage in dangerous and illegal activities. If these reports are in fact true, they call the group?s entire funding into question.?

A Travesty for the the American Justice System as well as our BROTHERS IN BLUE ....A real disgrace .....Good message sent to new NYPD Members by r. kelly & the PD Union.................................................. NYPD forces out cops in 2006 Sean Bell shooting
By Jonathan Dienst and Shimon Prokupecz, NBCNewYork.com

NEW YORK -- Three officers involved in the controversial Sean Bell shooting case will be forced out of the New York Police Department by Monday, including one who will be fired, NBC New York has learned.

NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly has upheld a departmental trial judge's ruling to fire Detective Gescard Isnora, sources said. Two other detectives - Michael Oliver and Marc Cooper - are expected to report to the NYPD's pension board Monday to formally hand in their papers, sources said.

NYPD spokesman Paul Browne confirmed the decision by Commissioner Kelly to fire Detective Isnora saying,"There was nothing in the record to warrant overturning the decision of the Department's trial judge."

See the original story an NBCNewYork.com

One source said Isnora is not expected to be allowed to get a pension as a result of Kelly's ruling.

The president of the Detective's Endowment Association declined comment.

Isnora was the detective who fired first sparking the 2006 50-shot fusillade that killed Sean Bell and injured Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield.

Bell was killed in a Grey Nissan outside a Queens strip club hours before he was supposed to marry his longtime fianc?e Nicole Paultry Bell.

Detectives Oliver, Isnora and Cooper were indicted but all were found not guilty at trial in 2008.

The city did agree to pay $7 million to Bell's family and his friends injured in the shooting.

Isnora had fought to keep his job but Deputy Commissioner Martin Karopkin ruled after the departmental trial that he be fired.

A second officer, Michael Carey, was found not guilty.
