FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A Colorado couple who reported their son was aboard a runaway balloon could land in jail after pleading guilty Friday to charges they made up the story to generate publicity for a possible reality TV show.
Richard Heene appeared before a Larimer County District Court judge first, pleading guilty to a felony count of falsely influencing the sheriff who led the rescue effort during the 50-mile balloon chase that captivated a global television audience Oct. 15.
Mayumi Heene pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of knowingly filing a false report with emergency services. Prosecutors said she had a lower level of culpability and cooperated with authorities, telling investigators the balloon launch was a publicity stunt two weeks in the making.
The Heenes are amateur storm chasers and had twice appeared on ABC's "Wife Swap." Richard Heene's business associates said he was trying to pitch a TV series based on science, and the couple had a tentative deal in the works with RDF USA, which produces "Wife Swap."
RDF has said it scrapped the plans after the balloon flight.
Even as the Heenes entered their guilty pleas, their attorneys' comments in court set off speculation of talk show appearances or other deals.
Judge Stephen Schapanski agreed to the attorneys' request that the couple be allowed to travel to New York and California to explore "employment opportunities." David Lane, Richard Heene's lawyer, declined to elaborate as he left the courtroom, and Heene waved off questions.... (more)...
Watch this video... whole family was there at balloon release. Then watch the video interview where the father gets a bit jumbled when the interviewer points this out.
Now watch the interviewer zero in on this footage and the father's obvious moment of realizing the jig is up:
Sen. John Glenn - Part of the Keating Five, and a Democrat.He is doing surrogate work for Obama? Like McCain, Glenn was also found not guilty of violating any Senate rules.”Attorney John Dowd, who represented McCain during the Senate Ethics investigation, said Senate Democrats conducted a "classic political smear job" on McCain in the Keating Five scandal.
"When it was discovered Keating was pushing too hard, he [McCain] threw Keating out of his office and ended all relations with him," Dowd said.Jack Abramoff: While he was convicted of a crime that at the time McCain didn’t know he was committing, Ayers however was “a leader of the Weather Underground, a terrorist group responsible for countless bombings against targets including the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon and numerous police stations, courthouses and banks. In recent years, Mr. Ayers has stated, ‘I don’t regret setting bombs … I feel we didn’t do enough.’
“The question now is, will Barack Obama immediately call on the University of Illinois to release all of the records they are currently withholding to shed further light on Senator Obama’s relationship with this unrepentant terrorist?”
Tony Rezko - He has been called an influence peddler while others call Abramoff a convicted felon?Rezko was found guilty on 16 of 24 counts. I think that is 13 felonies.At any rate, he is making a purported deal with the Chicago Tribune to give up info on Obama:
Antoin “Tony” Rezko, a convicted influence peddler who was once one of Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s most trusted confidants, has met with federal prosecutors and is considering cooperating in the corruption probe of the governor’s administration, sources told the Tribune.
Rezko’s possible change of heart—after years of steadfast refusal—has sent ripples through a tight circle of prominent defense attorneys who represent dozens of potential witnesses and targets in the wide-ranging probe.
His cooperation would give prosecutors investigating the governor and his wife access to someone they have described as an ultimate political insider at the center of a pervasive pay-to-play scheme.
James Johnson - CEO Fannie Mae and long-time Democrat that Obama used as an advisor that vetted running mates, and in fact led it.Johnson was forced to step-down because of some fishy dealings... but he left with multiple millions.Had dealings with Countrywide, biggest offender in sub-prime lending market.Shady dealings with multiple loans from Countrywide (7-million dollars).
Franklin Raines - CEO Fannie Mae also an advisor on housing for Obama.He likewise has some shady dealings with Countrywide worth a few million dollars
Jamie Gurlich - Vice Chair of Fannie Mae was Jamie Gurlich when Raines was CEO.She is known as the author of the “Wall of Separation” which stopped the CIA and FBI from sharing information with each other that most likely would have abated 9/11.She made 26-million while at Fannie Mae... another high ranking Democrat.
Barney Frank- chairman of the House Financial Services panel had oversight for this very issue the past two years.He had a homosexual affair with Herb Moses, an executive at Fannie Mae while on the House Banking Committee.
ACORN - played a key role in pressuring banks to offer loans to those who were unlikely to be able to pay them back. ACORN has taken credit for pressuring banks to accept undocumented income as a basis for offering loans, for offering loans without using credit scores, and for making 100% financed loans available to low-income people.He was its lawyer in several pivotal ACORN cases. Obama funded a number of its activities, as well. When he sat on the board of the prestigious Woods Fund for Chicago alongside former Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, he oversaw and approved many grants for ACORN.
“Mr. Good Will” and “Mr. Doodad Pro”- And that 11,500 donations to his campaign – totaling almost $34 million – may have come from overseas? Or that two Palestinians living in a Hamas-controlled refugee camp spent $31,300 in Obama’s online store?
Jeremiah Wright- More than a race batter, he was on Obama’s campaign staff.He went with Louis Farrakhan and met Momar Khadafy.He taught a Marxist form of theology that also incorporated the same ideology first found in Nicaragua with a dash of anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism for good measure.They warped the Bible to say that the true Jewish people were the blacks and that even God was black and that all white people were not true Christians.Could you imagine if Bush went to a church for twenty years and was married by and had all his kids baptized by a guy who invited David Duke into his fold and said all white people were the only true Christians and that Jews were devils?How disingenuous Kimba to merely say he is merely a “race-baiter.”
People's Weekly World- the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the USA – has rhapsodized about Obama’s presidential campaign, calling it a "transformative candidacy that would advance progressive politics for the long term"? Obama concedes that he attended “socialist conferences” and encountered Marxist literature.
Louise Farrakhan- introduced to him at his church and went to the “Million Man March” with Wright and also met Farrakhan there.Obama’s church gave a lifetime achievement award to this man as well as front-page spreads on their magazine.Farrakhan believes a UFO picked him up and took him to a man-made planet where God (Wallace D. Fard) spoke to him and said that Elijah Muhammad was a little messiah.Elijah and Farrakhan teach that a mad scientist made the white man 6,000 years ago.Again, black people are the only true Jews and the Jews in Israel and the whites must be destroyed.
Ayers - (Terorrist) Ayers was credibly accused, in classified testimony before a Senate subcommittee in 1974, of involvement in the murder of a police officer in San Francisco, as well as an attempted (and unsuccessful) anti-personnel bombing in Detroit.Obama was Vetted by Ayers and the two served on a 6-person board together where both tried to radicalize students by passing “education reform.”
John L. McKnight - renowned disciple of the late socialist agitator Saul "The Red" Alinksy wrote a letter of recommendation for Obama when he applied to Harvard Law School. He read communist Richard Wright’s writings. W.E.B. DuBois, who eulogized Joseph Stalin, was also modeled. Read Malcolm X approvingly as well.
- who calls himself a “progressive socialist,” has said that “Marxist thought is “an indispensible tradition for freedom fighters.West is on Obama’s “black advisory board.”
Saul Alinsky- Saul Alinsky, who died in 1972, at the age of 63, was a Chicago Marxist. Among his many books was one titled "Rules for Radicals," in which he explained to his acolytes, "The most effective means are whatever will achieve the desired results." It took Alinsky 11 words to paraphrase Karl Marx's far more succinct "The ends justify the means."
Alinsky, by the way, dedicated that particular book to Lucifer, whom he coyly referred to as "the first radical."
The reason I'm bringing up Alinsky 26 years after he wound up in a place where he could personally autograph his book for Beelzebub is because his disciples are still very much with us. For instance, he just happened to be the subject of Hillary Rodham's senior honors thesis at Wellesley College. It was such a glowing homage that, in 1968, a most appreciative Alinsky offered her a job in Chicago, but Ms. Rodham, as we all know, had bigger fish to fry. However, when she became America's first lady, the White House asked Wellesley to restrict access to the paper, and Wellesley wisely obliged, just as Princeton did when the Obama’s requested that Michelle's racist creed be removed from circulation.
Many people, once they grow up, would be embarrassed if people knew what they were drinking or smoking during their college days, but leftists don't even want us to know what they were thinking.
But it wasn't just young Ms. Rodham who had a connection to the late, unlamented Saul Alinsky. Thirteen years after the Chicago radical died, a group of his most devoted disciples hired 24-year-old Barack Obama to be a community organizer in South Chicago.
Top Three - top three people getting money from Fannie and Freddie were Chris Dodd, Obama, and John Kerry.Obama was new however and was on his way to setting records.
He attended a Muslim school before he attended a catholic one;
He was excused once a week from the catholic school for Muslim religious studies;
Every Friday he prayed at a mosque;
He did not convert to Christianity;
His church gave a racist Muslim -- who thinks the white man was created by a mad scientist on the Island of Cyprus 6,000 years ago, and who believes was taken up to a UFO where he was told by Jesus and the founder of the Nation of Islam, the “honorable” Elijah Muhammad, that he was the “little Messiah” -- a “Lifetime Achievement Award.”
Some history: The NOI was created by Wallace D. Fard, also known as Wallace Fard Muhammad. Fard claimed to come from the Islamic city of Mecca. He began a mosque in Detroit in 1930. He taught that Christianity should be rejected since it was the "slave-master's religion." In 1934 Fard disappeared and was neither seen nor heard from again. Fard was succeeded by Elijah Muhammad (Elijah Poole). Elijah Poole was born in Sandersville, Ga. on October 7, 1898. He changed his name to Elijah Muhammad after joining the NOI. After Fard disappeared, Elijah took over the leadership of NOI.....
The Nation of Islam claims that God is a man. "God is a man and we just cannot make Him other than man" (Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman in America, [Chicago: Muhammad's Temple No. 2], p. 6). The NOI teaches that Fard was Allah in physical form (Elijah Muhammad, The Fall of America, p. 236, as reprinted in "The Mother Plane," The Final Call 15, no. 25 [July 16, 1996]: 19). According to Elijah Muhammad, Fard told him, "My name is Mahdi; I am God" (Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman, p. 17). The NOI continues to teach that Fard is Allah. The current NOI statement is published in every issue of their weekly newspaper, The Final Call, in an article titled "What the Muslims Believe." It states, "12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long-awaited 'Messiah' of the Christians and the 'Mahdi' of the Muslims." The NOI denies that God is spirit. The NOI claims that Christians worship an "invisible spook somewhere in space"(Elijah Muhammad, Message to the Blackman, p. 5). According to Elijah Muhammad, "God is in person, and stop looking for a dead Jesus for help, but pray to Him whom Jesus prophesied would come after Him. He who is alive and not a spook" (Ibid., p. 3).
Obama’s picture was put on the church’s magazine cover along with the “honorable” Elijah Muhammad, Louise Farrakhan;
Obama’s church’s magazine,“Trumpet,”also had Farrakhan full shots on the magazine cover;
Obama’s pastor was a “former” Muslim and black nationalist;
I wish to say that I have gone to one church for a decade, and if my pastor brought in David Duke for an award (“A Lifetime Achievement Award”), I would firstly let the pastor know my thinking on the subject, and then I would leave the church forever.Likewise, if I were a politician, I would find it curious why the church’s magazine would publish full-length articles and cover photo’s of David Duke and still attend such a church.
Obama's church gave a "Lifetime Achievement Award" to this guy. Remember that he believes he was taken up in a UFO and told explicit things about himself and white people.Here are four pages from a wonderful book that I enjoyed from front to back (click on them to enlarge – and again to get it even bigger):
Easily then one can read for themselves the lunacy involved in the black community.But I will post a couple of videos below so you can hear for yourselves how off the wall this guy is and then you should wonder why a “christian” church would give an award to such a man... NUTS I SAY!
