Iraqi refugee czar, and Soros puppet, Samantha Power to fill UN Ambassador post?

That is according to a lengthy discussion at The Asian Tribune and it of course depends on US Ambassador Susan Rice’s elevation to the Secretary of State position Obama is pushing.

I’m posting this portion of the Asian article just to remind us, and build an archive here, about this dangerous George Soros puppet—the “humanitarian vulcan” Samantha Power.   Actually I also have a theory that if Susan Rice is shot down due to her ridiculous display on Benghazi that Obama could substitute Power and the Senate would give a collective sigh of relief and not muster an objection thinking they defeated the worst choice Obama could make.  Rice is a “yes-man,” but Power is truly dangerous.

Although White House Iraqi Refugee Czar Power mouths concern for “human rights” she famously said she was sick of doing “rinkey-dink do-gooder stuff” like standing up for beleaguered Christians in Iraq.  So, I guess in her mind, not all human rights are equal.

Besides forming interconnected groups as I reported here in a February 2010 post when writing about Power and Soros, much of the Socialist Left’s international interference hides under the “humanitarian” white hat.    (Political Environmentalists do that too—hide behind a supposed preservationist goal that is only a  facade while padding their pockets and pushing their political agenda, but that is a story for another day and another blog.)

They give the impression that they are motivated only by caring and goodness, that they have heart (and you don’t) and it gives them license to go to war, just as they did in Libya.   Soros and his girls are just power-hungry fascist control freaks.

Anyway, nothing earth-shattering in the Asian article about Power and Rice and their mucking around in Sri Lankan affairs, but I just want to have this article in our Samantha Power archive.

Dr. Samantha Power, the special assistant to President Obama, the senior director of the US National Security Council handling the subject multilateral affairs and human rights, and the head of the Atrocities Prevention Board is tipped to succeed Dr. Susan Rice as the United States Permanent representative to the United Nations is another top official who has devoted some time to the issues confronting Sri Lanka even undertaking an official fact-finding tour to Colombo in June 2010.

[…..]

The journalist, activist and Harvard professor, Samantha Power, burst onto the foreign policy scene in 2003 with her book “A Problem from Hell”, which accused the United States of intentionally ignoring genocides.

Ms. Power has mostly stayed away from campaigns, but she stepped into the ring after meeting then-Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in 2005. In fact, it was Senator Obama who invited her for a conversation after reading her book. Media reports at that time noted that at their first meeting, Power was so impressed that she offered to volunteer in his Senate office. She was one of Obama’s closest advisers on the 2008 campaign, at least until she called Obama’s then rival and now Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton a “monster” to a Scottish newspaper in a report published January 9, 2008. That week she withdrew from the Obama presidential campaign but, observers and media knew, she continued his unofficial adviser as it was very apparent when President Obama appointed her to an influential position in his National Security Council with the ‘tag’ ‘multilateral affairs and human rights’ when she arrived in Sri Lanka for her ‘fact finding tour’ June 14-18, 2010.

Ms. Power’s 2002 book A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide supports the humanitarian claim that genocide and human rights abuses can, in fact, be successfully stymied with the proper leadership.

She advocates that if only the United States were more proactive in stamping out moral abuses such as genocide, its security would be enhanced.

What moral abuses?  The ones Obama and Power/Soros say are moral abuses?  Powers’ “responsibility to protect” actually says we can and should go to war as the policemen for the world’s morals (whatever the hell that means).

….Samantha Power is President Obama’s ‘point person’ who monitors, investigates, researches and establishes policy planks on human rights, genocide, war crimes, international humanitarian law (IHL) for the administration’s specific understanding.

“She is clearly the foremost voice for human rights within the White House,” Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, told The New York Times “and she has Obama’s ear.”

As tipped, if she occupies the position of US ambassador to the United Nations she has a greater leverage over such issues.

Readers, you may think the refugee resettlement initiatives of the UN and the US State Department represent a small subsection of the immigration problem, but I submit that the image of saving the world’s poor and downtrodden gives them a powerful public relations message that hides the real goal of mass immigration—-the creation of a Socialist borderless world.

The refugees themselves are just pawns for the power-hungry fascists—-Soros and Power.

Guatemalan gang violence biggest excuse to grant illegals asylum

I’ve reported previously that immigration lawyers are working overtime in the US trying to figure out all the new angles to use for illegal aliens entering the US and asking for asylum.

Here is the definition of asylum I posted late last month in a post about “narco-refugees:”

Refugee status or asylum may be granted to people who have been persecuted or fear they will be persecuted on account of race, religion, nationality, and/or membership in a particular social group or political opinion. [I don’t see listed here people who are afraid of crime in their home country.—ed]

US asylum was never intended for those just wanting to run away from a crime-ridden country where the government doesn’t protect its people adequately, or for people looking for economic benefits in the United States.  (I used to say looking for work, but now I mean taxpayer supplied benefits).

So here (from Southern California Public Radio) are some excerpts from the story about a poor kid who claims he was going to be killed by gangs (Why? Are they just killing random kids or was he into something he shouldn’t have been?).

Death threats from the maras – or gangs – in his native Guatemala are the reason Ronald Aldana says he left.

Go read the article about how he got across the border with the help of his illegal alien sister who had crossed years earlier.  It will really steam you!

Lots of kids on the way and the Office of Refugee Resettlement is helping them (I’m sure the kids have heard about Obama’s Dream Act and how they can go to college in Maryland on the taxpayers dime!).  The numbers of “unaccompanied” youths is skyrocketing.  (See my post last month)

Meanwhile, KIND [Kids in Need of Defense*] worked with the federal Department of Homeland Security and the Office of Refugee Resettlement to fact-check Aldana’s story and represent him in court. Eventually, the U.S. government granted him asylum because he was a minor who fled organized violence in his native country.

KIND’s director Wendy Young says Aldana represents a big surge in kids who’ve arrived alone in this country during the last couple of years. Only a lucky few, she says, gain asylum.

They have been doing this for decades for various reasons—gangs are only the latest ploy.   If amnesty goes through Congress during the new Obama Administration all of these people will be allowed to stay, get their stuff, and VOTE.

The founder of Homies Unidos, Alex Sanchez, is a former gang member from El Salvador who gained asylum from violence in his homeland during the 1990s. He explains that young people throughout Central America have left their countries for decades now, fleeing war, seeking opportunities for their families or escaping natural disasters. But according to him, these days, the main push factor is a dramatic rise in gang violence.

The “kid” featured in this story is now shacking up with his girlfriend and her family, working part-time and dreaming of bringing the whole clan up from Guatemala.  Oh, and you know, if he was doing any work “part-time” that was steady work, the reporter would have mentioned it.

More than three years after he crossed the border, Ronald Aldana is now 20 years old. He lives in the Hancock Park section of Los Angeles in a small apartment with his girlfriend, her parents, and her siblings. He left his sister’s cramped apartment because he didn’t want to burden her, he says, but she still helps him out with money.

Aldana recognizes he’s lucky to have gotten asylum. It allows him to work part-time, and soon, he’ll be able to apply for a green card, too.

When that comes through, he says, he’ll look for a way to move his parents and five siblings out of their native country and into the US. But that won’t be easy: First he’ll need to prove that he has the financial means to support them all.

And, the beat goes on (and on, and on)!

P.S. Don’t forget those Guatemalans are working another angle too—Temporary Protected Status!

* Kids in Need of Defense is a Washington DC legal ‘business’ run by former Ted (don’t bring them to Hyannis) Kennedy staffer Wendy Young.   The organization took in $4 million in its most recent year reported to the IRS, here.  $1.2 million came directly from you as government grants (p. 9).   I don’t have time to do more on this, but I bet there is lots of juicy information that could be unearthed about this outfit.

Samantha Power surfaces; wants to bring the Arab Spring to Southeast Asia

Update November 19th:  Human rights activist Aung San Suu Kyi does not look very happy as Obama butchers the pronunciation of her name here, and gives her a hug here.  Was the hug before or after the reprimand on the Rohingya?  I don’t think all this hugging is common in Asia, did anyone tell Obama?

Update November 18th:  Power is being named as possible UN Ambassador if fellow “vulcan” Rice is nominated for the State Department, here.   But, here is another scenario, if Susan Rice is shot down in the next few weeks over Benghazi, would Obama put Power up for the State Department.   We should all be very afraid.

Oh, no!  She and Obama have brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power in North Africa and now they are going on to mess up Southeast Asia!   And, they are wasting no time….

Samantha Power, the White House “humanitarian vulcan” (no rinkey-ding do-gooder stuff!), who was supposed to reform the Refugee Resettlement Program when Obama first took office in 2009 has been hiding out lately (while creating more refugees!).  I’ve been following her career— as one of the three proponents of the “responsibility to protect” (others include Hillary and Susan Rice). She was responsible for our Libyan adventure where we basically ousted a dictator, but are now letting Al Qaeda/Muslim Brotherhood run rampant.

During the recent cover-up on the Benghazi terror attack she was mysteriously out of the picture.  I’m figuring Obama wanted to keep her untainted in the scandal so she will be available for some higher position in his next Administration.

But, now we see she is out and about and talking about Obama’s trip to Burma (Myanmar) where I expect he will scold the government for being so mean to the Rohingya Muslims.  He will probably also put pressure on Aung San Suu Kyi who has so far refused to jump into the controversy and take the Rohingya side.   As we reported here—after huge protests by monks, the Myanmar government had the audacity to disallow the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to set up shop in the country.  I don’t know for sure, but that probably makes Burma the only country in the world to tell the OIC to shove it.  Obama and Power were probably furious!

***Update November 16th:  Aung San Suu Kyi continues to tick-off the “human rights” cabal for not speaking up in defense of the Muslims.  Here is one of many stories on the subject.***

If you are a new reader, you might be asking why we are talking about Burma here at RRW.  BECAUSE we are bringing Rohingya “refugees” to the US and federal contractors like the US Conference of Catholic Bishops want more.  Heck some Rohingya probably voted for Obama in New Hampshire last week!  So, please take time to learn about the on-going battle between the Buddhists and the Muslims in Burma.

Ms. Power (and Obama) helped destabilize North Africa (with the theory that we can go to war and destabilize governments to “help” people) and now, again under the guise of protecting “human rights”, she likely has her sights set on destabilizing the (wobbly) Burmese government as well.  For all of you who thought Obama would keep us out of foreign engagements/entanglements, or LOL! out of “democracy building” (wasn’t that a Bush thing?), you can forget about it!

Obama going to Burma (heaven help the Buddhists!)

Here is the news account that popped up today from Reuters:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – International human rights activists met senior White House officials on Tuesday to press President Barack Obama to take a tough line with leaders in Myanmar and Cambodia during his forthcoming Southeast Asia tour.

The talks, which included Samantha Power, a top Obama adviser and outspoken expert on genocide, touched on what the president will say during his landmark visit to Myanmar to prod the quasi-civilian government to do more to curb sectarian violence, activists said.  [The violence began this time when Rohingya men gang-raped a Buddhist girl, but they don’t ever tell you that—ed]

The visit, part of a November 17-20 swing through Southeast Asia, would be the first U.S. presidential trip to Myanmar, also known as Burma. Obama is going ahead with the visit despite rights groups’ criticism it is premature because reforms have yet to be consolidated after decades of military rule.

A top official with a leading rights organization provided details of the meeting on condition of anonymity. Roughly half a dozen activists took part in the talks at the White House.

They left the meeting satisfied that Obama intends to push hard on human rights and political and economic reform in closed-door talks with reformist President Thein Sein and in his public remarks, including a speech.

Here is what they are really aiming for—helping build the image around the world of victimized Muslims (again)!

But a Reuters investigation into a wave of sectarian assaults on minority Muslims in western Myanmar painted a troubling picture: the attacks were organized, central-government military sources told Reuters. They were led by nationalists in Myanmar’s Rakhine state tied to a powerful political party there, incited by Buddhist monks, and, some witnesses said, abetted at times by local security forces.

The “hawk” has her own White House blog:

Power, considered a “humanitarian hawk” within the administration, wrote a blog on the White House website last week signaling that Obama would use the Myanmar trip to pressure the government to do more on human rights.

So what does she say in her blog post?

Yesterday’s announcement that President Obama will become the first U.S. President to visit Burma marks an historic step in the United States’ engagement with Burma. In the past year, since President Obama first noted “flickers of progress” in Burma – and since Secretary Clinton became the most senior U.S. official to visit since 1955 – we have seen continued progress on the road to democracy.

After listing a litany of ‘improvements,’ she launches into what they are really pushing with this trip—-the meme that the poor victimized Rohingya need saving from the evil Buddhists.   Her wording below leaves readers believing  that the death and homelessness is all on the Muslim side—she is a liar!

We are clear-eyed about the challenges that Burma faces. The peril faced by the stateless Rohingya population in Rakhine State is particularly urgent, and we have joined the international community in expressing deep concern about recent violence that has left hundreds dead, displaced over 110,000, and destroyed thousands of homes.

The Arab Spring was a disaster for freedom of religion and human liberty, but you wouldn’t know it from reading the “hawk.”   They’ve exhausted and destablized Africa and are now headed to Southeast Asia to bring them “democracy” Obama-style whether they like it or not!

Power:

In May 2011, as the Arab Spring took hold, the President noted that America’s interests are served when ordinary people are empowered to chart their own political and economic futures. And to governments, he made a promise: if you take the risks that reform entails, you will have the full support of the United States.

President Thein Sein should tell Obama, thanks but no thanks!   And, besides, we can not guarantee your safety here.

Remember, you read it here first—-Obama sells out Burma to the Islamists/Muslim Brotherhood!  And, as chaos ensues we bring more Muslim refugees to the US from Burma to save them from mean monks.

For everything you need to know on the Rohingya, we have 125 previous posts on the subject in our special category, Rohingya Reports.   See one post in particular from 2009 about Rohingya being listed as linked to Islamic terrorist groups in Southeast Asia—a list subsequently removed from the State Department’s website.

New Obama policy: LGBT immigrants cannot be deported if in homosexual relationship

It’s official now.

Presumably includes illegal aliens…..

From Human Rights Brief (title: US Recognizes LGBT rights for Immigration, Asylum and Refugee Purposes)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated as official, written policy that non-U.S. citizens in long-term same-sex relationships with U.S. citizens and facing deportation are eligible to have their deportations suspended under a 2011 policy of prosecutorial discretion. Under this administrative framework, U.S. law does not change but DHS will not enforce existing orders of removal for this particular class. The DHS policy under the Obama administration has been to focus enforcement resources on deporting unauthorized aliens who pose a security risk to the United States, and consider other factors when a person is not a risk. If an immigrant does not have past criminal convictions, immigration officials deciding whether to pursue removal are instructed to consider factors such as family relationships and the age at which the individual entered the United States.  The new instructions clarify that “family relationships” can include same-sex partnerships.

DHS officials previously indicated that that LGBT partners are protected under the prosecutorial discretion policy, but this is the first time the department has clarified that position in written instructions to its enforcement officers. The guidelines will prevent confusion in the field and also serve as documentation that can strengthen individuals’ cases for deferment after they have been apprehended. However, because the program is only an administrative policy, it can be withdrawn under a subsequent presidential administration.

So, here is the trick—enter the US illegally and find a same-sex partner and bam!—you are in!  And, truth be told, no one is coming into the bedroom to check-out your claim.

Oh, and by the way, look for more edicts like this from the Obama Administration if Romney should win tomorrow.  For the next two months they will be busy doing more of this and then if Romney tries to change it later, he will be called out as a racist homophobe—a twofer for the extreme Left wing!

More refugees being created in Libya

Not everything happening in the Libyan hell hole we (Obama and his Vulcans) helped create is happening in Benghazi (see my post yesterday at PTPR about the theory that Ambassador Stevens was involved in gun-running to Syrian rebels).  Now comes news that Gaddafi forces are alive and well, creating more refugees and challenging the government (whatever that is!).

Where is Ms. Responsibility to Protect Samantha Power these days?  Hiding out in the White House!

From Hamseyeh.net:

Bani Walid was supposed to be safe. The last of Muammar Gaddafi’s loyalists were supposed to have been purged from this Libyan desert town, after an eight-day offensive by the army. Instead, there was mayhem here on Thursday, as it became clear the Gaddafi loyalists are far from beaten.

A mile into what has become a ghost town after weeks of fighting and siege, a checkpoint of tense young pro-government militiamen barred entry, saying fighting was continuing. The staccatto boom of an anti-aircraft gun mingled with the heavy thumps of rocket-propelled grenades from somewhere inside the town.

Told to turn back, the Guardian found the road into town jammed with cars bringing several hundred refugees back home.

[…..]

“Our government says we can come home, it was on TV, and the militia says no,” said Mohammed Hamzen, wearing a long golden robe. “I am here with my children. What can I do with them?”

With thousands of angry refugees stranded on the desert highway, and pro-Gaddafi gunmen still resisting inside the town, Libya’s government has been left flat-footed by a crisis fast turning into its worst nightmare.

[…..]

…. the UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon, called for restraint ….  [LOL! I bet that has them shaking in their boots!—ed]
