Woodall Article Not Just My Opinion

By

I would like to take a few moments to answer a post made earlier in response to my article entitled, Woodall Represents DC to You, Not You to DC published earlier today.  The poster indicated that the article did not fulfill a promise I made yesterday, which he believed was to provide facts that show that 7th District US Congressman Rob Woodall does not represent the people of Forsyth County, and instead represents the people in Washington DC.  This article is to fill in a few blanks.

My first example earlier was that Rob Woodall voted to authorize President Obama to place the continuation of American sovereignty to an up or down vote.  Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) which Woodall voted for, did just that by allowing Obama to place the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to an up or down vote.  TPP passing would mean that foreign corporate trade courts outside the jurisdiction of the United State Government would have been empowered to rule on the basic fairness of trade deals and trade deal disputes between the nations of the Pacific rim who signed on to the agreement.  US courts would have no jurisdiction and US trade law would no longer matter, thus a surrendering of sovereignty.  Furthermore, TPP was an open-ended agreement that the corporations in charge would have the right to add to, without the consent of the partnering nations.  I followed my personal visit to Woodall's office with an email  expressing that the TPP would, 

"circumvent American sovereignty, and override the US Constitution and US Laws with an international corporate contract, the standards of which this legislation would adopt as US trade law. Those standards would place multi-national corporations as the jurisdictions for trade disputes and agreements, and control over trade regulations, rather than the American courts and the US Congress."  

Despite the objections I personally voiced visiting Woodall's office and following with an email, Representative Woodall voted to hand Obama Trade Promotion Authority anyway, which set up a future up or down vote to which I refer. Here is Rob Woodall’s vote:  https://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/114-2015/h220  

My next example was that Representative Woodall voted to take his constituents' tax dollars to fund the training and arming of ISIS in Saudi Arabia, the ultimate purpose of course to take down the Assad government in Syria, which incidentally, certain covert actors are still attempting to do 3-1/2 years later.  Mr Woodall voted for that measure twice.  The first vote was in September, 2014.  His 2nd vote to fund the training and arming of ISIS came in December of that year, in the 2015 Defense Authorization Act.  Here is an article concerning the vote: https://www.rollcall.com/news/congress_approving_721_million_for_syrian_rebels-238703-1.html 
 
And if there are any questions regarding whether the so-called Syrian rebels were indeed ISIS fighters, both Senator Rand Paul and Ted Cruz indicated they were. Furthermore, according to General Flynn, Obama created ISIS as a "willful decision," and Joint Chiefs Chairman Dempsey openly admitted during Senate testimony that the host nation of the "rebel training" Woodall voted to fund, Saudi Arabia, also funded ISIS.  

Next I wrote that Rob Woodall voted to hand Barack Obama the necessary authority to sign the Iran Nuclear agreement.  That authority was found in the Iran Nuclear Review Act.  You can follow the links from this page to see the vote tallies.  https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/1191/all-actions?q=%7B%22roll-call-vote%22%3A%22all%22%7D

Next, Rob Woodall voted to allow the US Government to propagandize the American people.  That's you and me.  Seen any government propaganda lately?  Thank Representative Woodall for that.  Here a link to a discussion of that bill.  http://www.businessinsider.com/ndaa-legalizes-propaganda-2012-5

And lastly, I used the example that Representative Woodall voted to bailout Wall Street banks in advance of the next financial crisis.  Those provisions can be found in the Swaps Regulatory Improvement Act HR-992, which Mr. Woodall voted for in October of 2013, and which he voted for again in the December 2013 Omnibus package.  If you read that bill, it requires the FDIC to bail our certain shell corporations referred as “swaps entities,” created by the Wall Street banks, ostensibly to in turn bail them out in the future should they need it.  The bankers' ruse was to create the perception of distance between the US Government and Wall Street banks recipients of public funds.  We know these swaps entities are "shell corporations," that is, corporate entities under-capitalized to bailout the banks, because had they really been capitalized to do so they would not need FDIC insurance.

Now, as for any of this simply being my opinion, that Mr. Woodall does not represent the people of the 7th District, but rather represents the DC government to them, I suppose if we took a poll and asked whether the citizens of the 7th would themselves vote to:

  1. Hand US sovereignty over to multi-national corporations, or 
  2. Train and equip ISIS, or 
  3. Approve the Iran Nuclear Deal, or 
  4. Allow the government to propagandize them, or 
  5. Bailout the Wall Street Banks in advance, 

maybe its just a guess on my part; but I would speculate that the answer would be an overwhelming NO.  That being the case, I do not see that any instance to which I referred in the article from earlier today might simply an opinion.  But of course, that’s just my opinion.

Storm is at the Door

In last week’s article entitled, “It’s Payback Time,” I recalled growing up in “Camelot” prior to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.  Afterward, even from my 8-year-old perspective, the world changed, for the worse.  People I knew changed for the worse.  The trajectory of world events changed for the worse.  As America mourned, the outlook for peace in the world retreated, practically abandoned. As his fate approached, JFK decided to pull US advisors out of Vietnam, sent there by Eisenhower.  Doing so would have prevented an eventual military involvement that would leave 58,000 Americans dead, their names carved in consolation on a wall in DC, countless US casualties, American families irrevocably broken, not to mention millions of enemy victims. Five months prior to his assassination, JFK ordered the US Treasury Department to begin abandoning the policy of borrowing Federal Reserve currency to pay the bills of the US government. On June 4th 1963, Kennedy exercise

Two weeks ago, I published my best effort at an objective handicap of the 6th District Congressional race .  It was important for me to be objective because leading up to the time of writing that article, I had not made up my mind whom I would support.  What you read in that article was an analysis of the information I had available on those I considered the top three candidates, analysis which I performed in determining who I, myself, would support.  I had no favorite going into the week-long effort it took me to research and write that analysis.  Should you to look back at my social media, you will not find any post, prior to releasing that paper, supporting one candidate or another in the 6th District race.  Jake Evans                                   Rich McCormick                           Mallory Staples And if you read that paper, then you already know that according to my appraisal there are three viable candidates in the 6th District, Rich McCormick, Jake Evans and Mallory St

It’s Payback Time

When did you first become aware of the larger world beyond your home, immediate family, your friends, your school, maybe trips to the grocery store with mom?  For me, it was during the days many referred as, “Camelot.” Now I vaguely remember the election of 1960.  My dad voted for Nixon, mom for Kennedy.  I remember them saying they cancelled each other’s vote.  That would not happen today, not without hair pulling, a divorce or worse, but I digress.  So, I remember Camelot in America, the presidency of John F. Kennedy, who together with First Lady Jackie, children Caroline and John Jr., or “John John,” presented an image of style and grace, humor and humility, the ideal American family, at least it appeared. At our school I remember JFK’s picture hanging next to the American flag.  Each day before instruction, we would stand, place our hands over our hearts and recite the Pledge, followed by the Lord’s Prayer.  Then we would sing patriotic songs conveying a sense of what America was,
