White House emails reveal Solyndra Obama administration appointee ties, Steven Spinner, Obama fundraiser
From the Chicago Tribune October 8, 2011.
“Emails raise fresh questions on Obama energy loan”
“An Obama administration appointee at the Energy Department pressed White House analysts to sign off on a $535 million loan to Solyndra even though his wife worked for the failed solar panel maker’s law firm, according to internal emails made public on Friday.
The revelation adds new drama to a political battle over the administration’s backing for Solyndra, which has filed for bankruptcy and has been raided by the FBI. The newly disclosed emails reveal “a disturbingly close relationship” between the White House, campaign donors and wealthy investors relating to Solyndra, a senior congressional Republican said.
The emails show frequent inquiries from Steven Spinner, who was an adviser to the Energy Department on its use of economic stimulus funding to spur clean energy technology, on the Solyndra loan, according to a report in the New York Times.
On September 29, the Energy Department had posted a “fact check” on Spinner’s involvement in the Solyndra case on its website, explaining that he started his job after the company received conditional approval for its loan application.
The department said Spinner “was recused from engaging in any discussions on decisions affecting specific loan applications in which his spouse’s law firm was involved out of concern for the appearance of a conflict of interest.”
Allison Spinner is a partner at the law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, which represented Solyndra.
Energy Department spokesman Damien LaVera said on Friday that the department’s ethics officer had cleared Spinner to “oversee and monitor the progress of applications,” although he was not allowed to make decisions on loans or their terms.
LaVera added that Allison Spinner had “agreed not to participate in or receive any financial compensation from her law firm’s work on behalf of any loan program applicant.”
Allison Spinner did not work on the Solyndra matter and the firm created an “ethical wall” between her and any of its work on Energy Department issues while her husband worked for the government, according to Courtney Dorman, a spokeswoman for Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati said.
While Steve Spinner was at the department, Allison Spinner had agreed to not work on Energy Department issues for clients, and the firm did not discuss or disclose related issues or documents with her, Dorman said.
Steven and Allison Spinner did not respond to requests for comment.
‘BREATHING DOWN MY NECK’
The White House, which has aggressively defended decisions made on the loan guarantee, turned over the emails on Friday to the House of Representatives Energy and Commerce Committee, which has been probing the loan for the past eight months.
“The paper trail released by the White House portrays a disturbingly close relationship between President Obama’s West Wing inner circle, campaign donors, and wealthy investors that spawned the Solyndra mess,” Representatives Fred Upton, the panel’s chairman, and Cliff Stearns, the head of the investigation, said in a statement.
The emails show Spinner discussed the pending final decision often with Solyndra officials, Energy Department colleagues, and the White House budget office, the New York Times said.
“I have the O.V.P. and W.H. breathing down my neck on this,” Spinner wrote, referring to the office of the vice president and the White House in an email to an Energy Department loan officer.”

Famous quote from Barack Obama.
‘’I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.”
The one “left to go”, is America. There already are 57 Islamic States! This Muslim usurper is telling you to your face, he plans on converting America to Islam, and people think he made a mistake about the United States. Think again.
“Values Voter Summit Update 2: Dean Meets Rick Santorum”
“This morning at breakfast I chatted with Gary Bauer. Yesterday, during registration I ran into Michele Bachman. They each received a Birther Summit flyer.
The press is here in droves. The Slate published a great article with a cheery picture of Theresa Cao waving at the cameras. All the other major press are here as well.
…
…
As Rick walked away another member of the entourage pulled me aside and said, “I just want to let you know how much I appreciate what you are doing and how much we agree with you.””

An excerpt from: http://dev.republicoftheunitedstates.org/what-is-the-republic/
“WHAT IS THE REPUBLIC?”
“The de facto UNITED STATES CORPORATION was unlawfully established by the forty-first congress in 1871 by deceptive means and without proper consent from “We the People”. The American people were placed under involuntary servitude by a “Legal” system of laws that have continually violated the “Constitution for the united States of America”, “Bill of Rights” and the “Declaration of Independence”. The corporate constitution was changed from the original form, wherein Amendments were unlawfully added and removed without the people’s consent. Since 1871, the abuses of this corporation upon both the international community as well as the American people are inestimable and unconscionable. De facto Congress has repeatedly violated their Oaths of Office, fiduciary responsibilities, and in many cases, committed treasonous acts against “We the People” of the united States of America and the world.
We humbly come forward apologizing for the numerous atrocities we have unknowingly allowed the U.S. CORPORATION to carry out upon the international community. It is our mission to establish the American image of truth, honesty, integrity and honor around the world. Our plan is to rebuild our economy and support other economies around the world, fulfilling humanitarian needs. We will allow our military to withdraw from unnecessary conflicts around the world and promote world peace and prosperity. We intend to follow God the Creator’s command to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the sick, irrespective of creed, religion or race. There is no law against these things.
We are calling on the support of all Nations around the world to help us end the tyranny that has been perpetrated by the unlawful actions of the UNITED STATES corporate government. We shall achieve this goal PEACEFULLY AND LAWFULLY, with boldness, integrity and truth, so help us God.”
“ISSA: HEADS SHOULD ROLL OVER “FAST AND FURIOUS'”
“RELEASES NEW VIDEO DEMANDING SOMEONE BE ‘HELD ACCOUNTABLE’ FOR DEADLY PROGRAM”
By Drew Zahn

October 7, 2011
Excerpt:
“In a statement released with the video, Issa and Grassley declare they are pushing Holder and the Obama Justice Department for “a full accounting of the deadly program” and argue thus far their investigation has been meet instead with “silence, stonewalling and spin.”
“Attorney General Holder and the Justice Department have failed to honestly answer clear and legitimate questions about Operation Fast and Furious,” said Issa in the statement. “Americans deserve to know the truth.”
As WND reported, Holder’s testimony is suspect not only because of the weekly briefing memos, but also because of a video from a full two years earlier, showing one of Holder’s associates on camera talking about the project and what the department was doing to intercept weapons trafficking along the Mexican border through Fast and Furious.
In the video, dated March 24, 2009, some 26 months before Holder’s testimony, David Ogden, deputy attorney general, was talking about Barack Obama’s orders to “fight” the Mexican drug cartels, using “Project Gunrunner.”
“Attorney General Holder and I are taking several new and aggressive steps as part of the administration’s comprehensive plan. Those steps include the following: DOJ’s Drug Enforcement Administration, which already has the largest U.S. drug enforcement presence in Mexico with 11 offices in that country, is placing 16 new DEA positions in southwest border field positions .., uh, field operations, specifically to target Mexican trafficking and associated violence,” he said.

I don’t have the time to do an exhaustive investigation but have read enough to recognize this as part of the sovereignty movement, which was the foundation for the previous R.A.P. movement, now subdued. R.A.P. believed the same way, or close to it, and their beliefs have been exposed to be nothing worth pursuing. The telltale evidence to me is that one place on the website you posted refers to voice of the sovereigns. For pity sakes, don’t get mixed up in this. It is going nowhere. We have to constantly use discernment as we move around the web.

Has Harry Reid Presented the GOP with the Means to Overturn Obamacare?
As you probably know, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid recently triggered a sort of “mini-nuclear option” when he forced a vote along party lines, casting aside Senate history and precedent. This may come in very handy if the Repubs gain control of the Senate, because they could then, relying on Reid’s precedent, use the same tactic to repeal Obamacare without the 60 votes.

Good one!
Starla, I want to thank you for posting the “180” movie. It is excellent! I just pray that multitudes will have their minds changed as quickly as those in the movie.
Here is a link that is also important, and I challenge those here to go there and read the short testimony.

(NaturalNews) The US government’s assault against innocent American citizens continues to get more aggressive and just plain strange, with new reports of harassment against honest owners of ordinary lemon trees. Health Freedom Alliance (HFA) reports that officials from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) are now spying on people whom they suspect are in possession of ordinary lemon trees, and threatening them with excessive fines and even federal raids if they refuse to surrender the plants on demand.
Several years ago, Bridget Donovan, who has now been dubbed “The Lemon Tree Lady,” purchased a Meyer lemon tree from meyerlemontree.com. A resident of Wisconsin, Donovan purchased the tree legally and in full accordance with all federal and state laws regulating citrus transport, and had lovingly cultivated and cared for her indoor citrus plant for nearly three years.
Then, out of nowhere, Donovan received an unexpected letter from the USDA informing her that government officials were going to come and seize her tree and destroy it — and that she was not going to be compensated for her loss. The letter also threatened that if Donovan was found to be in possession of “regulated citrus” again, she could be fined up to $60,000.
Donovan was shocked, to say the least, as her tree was not a “regulated citrus.” The store from which she purchased it is fully legitimate, and she had done absolutely nothing wrong. But it turns out Donovan and many others who had also purchased similar citrus plants had faced, or were currently facing, the very same threats made against them by the USDA.
Most of those targeted simply surrendered their trees without trying to fight back, Donovan discovered. And while she, herself put up a hefty fight in trying to get honest answers in order to keep her tree, Donovan was eventually forced to surrender it as well. And worst of all, many of those who were told that a replacement tree would be in “compliance” later had those trees confiscated, too.
Why has the USDA been targeting lemon tree owners? The answer is unclear, other than that they are a supposed threat to the citrus industry. And a USDA official admitted to Donovan that the agency has been spying on those suspected of owning lemon trees, and targeting all found to be in possession with threats of fines and raids if they failed to give them up — and the agency has been doing this without a valid warrant.
“I felt utterly violated, angry, and upset,” Donovan is quoted as saying by HFA. “I pay my taxes, I obey the law, and this is how I was treated? I did nothing wrong. I would expect these action (sic) toward someone running a drug house, not someone who owned a lemon tree.”
Be sure to read Donovan’s entire shocking story here:
