Barack Obama’s Twitter & Facebook Hijacked by Syrian Electronic Army

UPDATE: Did Google Collude With Obama Administration to Censor Video?

President Obama’s official Twitter and Facebook accounts – which have a combined audience of 76 million followers – were hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army and used to promote a link to a video which highlights how US-backed rebels are committing terror attacks in Syria.

The account was compromised less than a day after Obama’s presidential campaign website was also hacked by the SEA.

The Syrian Electronic Army confirmed to Infowars that they were behind the hack.

Perhaps to temporarily evade detection, the link to the video was tweeted out next to a non-descript message which read “Immigration is a bipartisan issue.”

On Obama’s Facebook page, the same link was sent out alongside the words, “Watch the weekly address on Obamacare.”

About an hour after the hack, SEA announced that they had also got access to the Obama Campaign’s emails, tweeting out a screenshot of the organization’s Gmail account.

When users click the link, they are redirected to the 24 minute video below which highlights a number of terror attacks and other atrocities committed by US-backed rebels.

The Syrian Electronic Army has been responsible for a number of increasingly high profile hacks this year, including one that targeted the US stock exchange.

Sarah Palin taunts Piers Morgan with picture of bear she shot dead and posted on Facebook

  • Former governor refuses invite to go on  ‘shambolic’ Piers Morgan Live show
  • Spat started after Morgan sent joke tweet  claiming the former Alaska governor believed Jesus celebrated  Easter

Sarah Palin found a novel way to turn down an  interview request from Piers Morgan on Friday, posting a picture on Facebook of  a bear she had shot dead and a note saying she was busy.

The former Alaska governor thanked chat show  host Morgan for inviting her on his ‘shambolic show’ but added she was ‘kind of  busy right now’.

The Facebook message, which had been liked by  nearly 3,000 of Palin’s supporters within two hours of it being posted, is part  of an online spat between the pair after Morgan poked fun at her  intellect.

Thanks but no thanks: Sarah Palin used this picture of her with a bear she shot to send a message to Piers Morgan

Earlier in the week the host of Piers Morgan  Live tweeted ‘And she’s back’ and linked to a satirical article from the Daily  Currant claiming Palin believed Jesus had celebrated Easter.

According to conservative website Breitbart, Morgan was ‘gleefully tweeting out  a Currant story attacking Sarah Palin, without noting that the story was  untrue’.

Palin linked to the Breitbart article and, in  another twist of the knife, added in her Facebook message: ‘And  to all our British friends: we ask, what did your friends across the pond ever  do to you to deserve your Piers?’

Feud: Palin was hitting back at Piers Morgan after he tweeted a link to a satirical article that poked fun at the former governor

Morgan was quick to respond to the picture,  tweeting: ‘Un-bear-able’ before adding: ‘Being called ‘shambolic’ by  @SarahPalinUSA is most amusing. I wonder if she can see irony from her  house?’

The tweet was in reference to a Saturday  Night Live skit of Palin during her vice-presidential campaign in 2008, when  comedian Tina Fey, playing the Alaska governor, said: ‘I can see Russia from my  house’.

Morgan has added that the invitation for  Palin to appear on his show still stood

A Black Reporter Summarizes Barack
The below summarization of Barack and Michelle Obama’s 5 year reign in the White House is by far the best I’ve ever read as it squarely hits the nail on the head. And it took a black reporter writing it to make it as effective as it is. A white man’s account would be instantly criticized by the liberal media as pure racism. But, how can anyone scream Racist when an exacting description of the Obamas is penned by a well known journalist of color? BEST SUMMATION OF BARACK AND MICHELLE EVER! Mychal Massie is a respected writer and talk show host in Los Angeles.
The other evening on my twitter, a person asked me why I didn’t like the Obama’s? Specifically I was asked: “I have to ask, why do you hate the Obama’s? It seems personal, not policy related. You even dissed (disrespect) their Christmas family picture.” The truth is I do not like the Obamas, what they represent, their ideology, and I certainly do not like his policies and legislation. I’ve made no secret of my contempt for the Obamas. As I responded to the person who asked me the aforementioned question, I don’t like them because they are committed to the fundamental change of my/our country into what can only be regarded as a Communist state.
I don’t hate them per definition, but I condemn them because they are the worst kind of racialists, they are elitist Leninists with contempt for traditional America. They display disrespect for the sanctity of the office he holds, and for those who are willing to admit same, Michelle Obama’s raw contempt for white America is transpicuous. I don’t like them because they comport themselves as emperor and empress. I expect, no I demand respect, for the Office of President and a love of our country and her citizenry from the leader entrusted with the governance of same. President and Mrs. Reagan displayed an unparalleled love for the country and her people.
The Reagan’s made Americans feel good about themselves and about what we could accomplish. Obama’s arrogance by appointing 32 leftist czars and constantly bypassing congress is impeachable. Eric Holder is probably the MOST incompetent and arrogant DOJ head to ever hold the job. Could you envision President Reagan instructing his Justice Department to act like jack-booted thugs? Presidents are politicians and all politicians are known and pretty much expected to manipulate the truth, if not outright lie, but even using that low standard, the Obama’s have taken lies, dishonesty, deceit, mendacity, subterfuge and obfuscation to new depths.
They are verbally abusive to the citizenry, and they display an animus for civility. I do not like them, because they both display bigotry overtly, as in the case of Harvard Professor Louis Gates, when he accused the Cambridge Police of acting stupidly, and her code speak pursuant to not being able to be proud of America. I view that statement and that mindset as an insult to those who died to provide a country where a Kenyan, his illegal alien relatives, and his alleged progeny, could come and not only live freely, but rise to the highest, most powerful, position in the world. Michelle Obama is free to hate and disparage whites because Americans of every description paid with their blood to ensure her right to do same.
I have a saying, that “the only reason a person hides things, is because they have something to hide.” No president in history has spent millions of dollars to keep his records and his past sealed. And what the two of them have shared has been proved to be lies. He lied about when and how they met, he lied about his mother’s death and problems with insurance, Michelle lied to a crowd pursuant to nearly $500,000 bank stocks they inherited from his family. He has lied about his father’s military service, about the civil rights movement, ad nausea. He lied to the world about the Supreme Court in a State of the Union address. He berated and publicly insulted a sitting Congressman. He has surrounded himself with the most rabidly, radical, socialist academicians today. He opposed rulings that protected women and children that even Planned Parenthood did not seek to support.
He is openly hostile to business and aggressively hostile to Israel. His wife treats being the First Lady as her personal American Express Black Card (arguably the most prestigious credit card in the world). I condemn them because, as people are suffering, losing their homes, their jobs, their retirements, he and his family are arrogantly showing off their life of entitlement – as he goes about creating and fomenting class warfare. I don’t like them, and I neither apologize nor retreat from my public condemnation of them and of his policies. We should condemn them for the disrespect they show our people, for his willful and unconstitutional actions pursuant to obeying the Constitutional parameters he is bound by, and his willful disregard for Congressional authority.
Dislike for them has nothing to do with the color of their skin; it has everything to do with their behavior, attitudes, and policies. And I have open scorn for their constantly playing the race card. I could go on, but let me conclude with this. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the media for refusing to investigate them, as they did President Bush and President Clinton, and for refusing to label them for what they truly are.
There is no scenario known to man, whereby a white president and his wife could ignore laws, flaunt their position, and lord over the people, as these two are permitted out of fear for their color.
As I wrote in a syndicated column titled, “Nero In The White House” – “Never in my life, inside or outside of politics, have I witnessed such dishonesty in a political leader. He is the most mendacious political figure I have ever witnessed. Even by the low standards of his presidential predecessors, his narcissistic, contumacious arrogance is unequalled. Using Obama as the bar, Nero would have to be elevated to sainthood… Many in America wanted to be proud when the first person of color was elected president, but instead, they have been witness to a congenital liar, a woman who has been ashamed of America her entire life, failed policies, intimidation, and a commonality hitherto not witnessed in political leaders. He and his wife view their life at our expense as an entitlement – while America’s people go homeless, hungry and unemployed.”

Authorities probe threat against Cruz

By Alexander Bolton

20th October 2013

Law enforcement officials are investigating a threat against Sen. Ted Cruz  (R-Texas), who was vaulted into national prominence with his push to defund  ObamaCare.

A person identifying himself as Troy Gilmore Jr., posted on Twitter Friday  morning: “Take down Ted Cruz, at his home” and listed Cruz’s home address in  Houston.

“What goes around comes around CRUZ!!” the person wrote.

The author  of the threat uses the Twitter handle @ArmyVet54 and identifies himself as  having served in the U.S. Army and Navy.

Sean Rushton, Cruz’s spokesman, said, “We’re aware of it and have alerted the  proper authorities.”

“I can’t comment further on security matters,” he said.

At about 5:30 pm on Friday, @ArmyVet54 posted another apparent threat, urging  that Cruz “needs tobe [sic] taught a street wise [sic] lesson”.

The person posted Cruz’s home address several other times this month and  repeatedly used threatening language.

The apparent threats are not directed at any audience in particular because  @ArmyVet54 does not have any Twitter followers. But a search of Cruz’s name on  Twitter can find them.

The Capitol Police takes all threats to members of Congress seriously.

“We are looking into that matter,” said Officer Shennell Antrobus, a  spokesman for the Capitol Police.
Donte Jamar Sims, a 22-year-old man  living in North Carolina, was sentenced to six months in prison in May after he  threatened over Twitter to kill President Obama during the 2012 Democratic  National Convention.

In June, a judge sentenced Jarvis Britton, a 26-year old Alabama man, to a  yearlong prison term after he threatened Obama over Twitter.

OFA To Protest Tea Party At Capitol Rally

us capitol buildiing 300x199 OFA to protest Tea Party at Capitol rally

Following a weekend of protests by truckers, veterans, and patriots of all  stripes, a group of leftist sycophants is planning a rebuttal Tuesday.

Organizing for Action, the ostensibly nonprofit group whose sole purpose  seems to be campaigning for Barack Obama and his failed policies, is set to rail  against conservatives during a noon rally at the Capitol building in Washington,  D.C.

To mark the “start of the third week of the government shutdown,” an  invitation to OFA supporters encouraged participation in the highly partisan effort.

Detailing exactly who he feels is to blame for the current stalemate, the  group’s executive director recently published a Twitter comment in support of  the rally.

Jon Carson said those in attendance will be able “to say #EnoughAlready to  the #TeaPartyShutdown.”

As we have seen with a number of previous rallies in support of conservative  causes, this past weekend’s trucker strike and veterans march were roundly  ignored or discounted by the mainstream media. In its analysis of this leftist  event, however, one can anticipate much more favorable reportage.

While OFA has attempted to provoke activism such as this in the past,  Tuesday’s rally will be the first of its kind at the Capitol. Despite the  inclusion of the word “organizing” in its name, though, the group has  experienced difficulty in attracting participants to its cause.

Earlier this year, for example, precisely no one showed up for an  OFA-sponsored climate change rally in D.C.

Still, the leftist media has a vested interest in propping up this failed  presidency. As with the Occupy movement before it, the press can use its power  to present a convoluted imbroglio as a principled stand for America. Likewise,  when patriots from across the nation converge to address a wildly overreaching  federal government, they are painted as lunatics — if they are acknowledged at  all.

Luckily, alternative and social media allow people to see what is actually  going on at these events, thereby making up their own minds on important issues.  In the marketplace of idea, the values embraced by patriotic veterans and other  concerned citizens will resonate much more than a few political hacks demanding  even more government handouts.

South Carolina House passes bill making ‘Obamacare’ implementation a crime

By Jessica Chasmar

The Washington Times

Thursday, May 2, 2013

The South Carolina state House passed a bill Wednesday that  declares  President Obama’s Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act to  be “null and  void,” and criminalizes its implementation.

The state’s Freedom of Health Care Protection Act intends to “prohibit  certain individuals from enforcing or attempting   to enforce such  unconstitutional laws; and to establish criminal   penalties and civil liability  for violating this article.”

The  measure permits the state Attorney General, with  reasonable cause, “to   restrain by temporary restraining order,  temporary injunction, or  permanent  injunction” any person who is  believed to be causing harm to  any person or  business with the  implementation of Obamacare.

Earlier  this year in her state of the state address, Gov.  Nikki Haley said that  South Carolina does not want and cannot afford  the  president’s plan,  “not now, not ever.”

“To  that end, we will not pursue the type of government-run  health   exchanges being forced on us by Washington,” she said. “Despite  the   rose-colored rhetoric coming out of D.C., these exchanges are  nothing  more  than a way to make the state do the federal government’s  bidding in  spending  massive amounts of taxpayer dollars on insurance  subsidies  that we can’t  afford.”

The nullification bill moved on to the state Senate Thursday and referred to  the Committee on Finance. As of Oct. 2, the bill is still residing in the Senate.

Time Magazine reporter who called for a drone strike on Julian Assange faces Twitter backlash

A TIME magazine reporter set off a Twitter  spat on Saturday when he controversially suggested that WikkiLeaks founder  Julian Assange be killed in a drone strike.

Michael Grunwald was pressured into deleting  the offending tweet after it was greeeted with hostility online – particularly  by Glenn Greenwald of The Guardian – who broke the story of NSA whistle-blower  Edward Norton.

Indeed, TIME magazine distanced themselves  from the tweet saying, ‘Michael Grunwald posted an offensive tweet from his  personal Twitter account that is no way representative of TME’s  views’.

Grunwald has written extensively about his  support for the United States strategy of killing terrorists using unmanned  military drones.

Writing on Twitter on Friday, Grunwald said  he ‘can’t wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out’ Assange,  who is an Australian citizen.

Julian Assange is currently in hiding at the  Ecuadorian embassy in London – as he attempts to ward off his own extradition to  Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over allegations of sexual  assault.

Outraged: Others were not so impressed with Grunwalds opinion on drone strikes taking out Julian Assange Outraged: Others were not so impressed with Grunwalds  opinion on drone strikes taking out Julian Assange

 

Taking to Twitter to express his anger,  Greenwald said that ‘Thing like this make you not just understand, but  celebrate, the failings of large media outlets.’

Journalist Quinn Norton said that despite  Assange’s reputation, he has never demanded anyone’s murder or  assassination.

Grunwald deleted his tweet after a follower  argued that it would only encourage Assange supporters.

However, the furore continued with a William  Patrick Wend incredulously asking Grunwald, ‘Yeah, so you don’t have to be an  ‘Assange supporter’ to find calling for extra judicial murder to be  sickening.’

Admission: Eventually, Grunwald said that his tweet was wrong and that it was right he apologized Admission: Eventually, Grunwald said that his tweet was  wrong and that it was right he apologized

 

Grunwald then revealed that he was receiving  anti-Semitic abuse to his Twitter account but ultimately admitted that his tweet  was ‘dumb’ and that he deserved the ‘backlash’.

Assange announced last month that he was  attempting to stand as a candidate for the senate in Australia for the WikiLeaks  Party.

‘Wikileaks Party is a party of  accountability, it’s not a party of government,’ he said.

‘It’s a party to put into the Senate, to make  sure whoever is put into the government does their job. It’s an insurance  against the election.’

In March, Grunwald said he was perplexed as  to why people had become upset at the trageted killing of U.S. citizen Anwar  al-Awlaki, by a drone strike because of his association with al  Qaeda.
