This may be news today, but the process of integration of foreign law enforcement actually began in the 90s during Bill Clinton’s reign. Why would the Oman (Obama) do this? How about this, everytime that there is a civil war in any country what is the one thing you can count on? You can count on the U.N. sending Peace Keeping troops into that country.

The Left learned a long time back that if they fail to secure proper legislation in the target country early on, when the chips are down they may be told to stay out by the ruling regime, whom ever they may be. What the Left has done here is to secure that right before the powers that be incite a civil war here.

What else would they be doing by going against the will of the majority?

Obama gives foreign cops new police powers in U.S.
Sovereignty apparently set aside as agency exempted from law
A little-discussed executive order from President Obama giving foreign cops new police powers in the United States by exempting them from such drudgery as compliance with the Freedom of Information Act is raising alarm among commentators who say INTERPOL already had most of the same privileges as diplomats.At David Horowitz’s Newsreal, Michael van der Galien said the issue is Obama’s expansion of President Ronald Reagan’s order from 1983 that originally granted those diplomatic privileges.

Reagan’s order carried certain exemptions requiring that INTERPOL operations be subject to several U.S. laws such as the Freedom of Information Act. Obama, however, removed those restrictions in his Dec. 16 amendment to Executive Order 12425.

Why do you think it’s important for them to secure the legal right to bring in foreign troops into a target country like the United States? Let me take a pretty good guess, because they know that U.S. police officers will not support the kind of things they will be asked to do. Sure, some of them will, but the more patriotic, red-blood American among them won’t. This is one of the reasons why the majority of our fighting men and women are under the direct control of the United Nations. They will be kept out of this country at all costs until this is over. Guess why?

Are we Served by Technology or do we Serve Technology?

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

This particular GKO website project was created because of my concern for technology and its effect on mankind. I didn’t have to conduct a study or a survey in order to figure out that despite the fact that we’re served to the hilt by technology, we’re in general an unhappy lot when compared to past generations.

I’m almost 60, so I was fortunate enough to have seen a past generation or two who were happier than we are. The very idea of a 60-year-old tinkering with Facebook is shocking to me as all the 60-year-olds I knew as a kid were busy with reading the newspaper and dealing with physical issues. No computers for them.

The other day I saw an older woman, say in her 70s perhaps, talking on a cell phone. I’m sorry, but the very vision of that caused me to chuckle. Women in their 70s that I’ve known in the past were happy enough to talk on an ordinary telephone.

In general, despite the fact that we have all the technology in the world, somehow it feels like we’re serving it instead of it serving us. And then again, some of this “feeling” comes from the fact that there are very real, corrupt, greedy individuals and organizations on the other end of these technologies who will exploit your connection when and if they have an opportunity. Some ready examples include the various cable companies, telephone companies, electric companies, cell phone companies, political organizations, advertising firms, large retailers, on and on and on.

Do you need confirmation that we’re increasingly becoming unhappy and enslaved by our own technologies? Read the following story and see what another writer thinks on the issue (my final comment afterward):


Free yourself from oppression by technology
“THE age of melancholy” is how psychologist Daniel Goleman describes our era. People today experience more depression than previous generations, despite the technological wonders that help us every day. It might be because of them.

Our lifestyles are increasingly driven by technology. Phones, computers and the internet pervade our days. There is a constant, nagging need to check for texts and email, to update Facebook, MySpace and LinkedIn profiles, to acquire the latest notebook or 3G cellphone.

Are we being served by these technological wonders or have we become enslaved by them? I study the psychology of technology, and it seems to me that we are sleepwalking into a world where technology is severely affecting our well-being. Technology can be hugely useful in the fast lane of modern living, but we need to stop it from taking over.

Recently I saw a movie called The Valley of Light,” directed by Brent Shields, with Chris Klein, Gretchen Mol, and Zach Mills. I really enjoyed this movie as it gave me a glimpse back to a more slow and gentler time. The movie gives a glimpse of what life was like in rural America after the end of World War II. At that time, people did not have to worry about their next meal as there was always a helping hand when needed. Jobs were plentiful and life was slow and easy going.

I couldn’t help but think to myself that I was born about 15 years too late. How I would have enjoyed life in one of those small towns, like the one depicted in this movie. How I would have enjoyed the slow pace of that era. Today, it’s nothing like that. You know it, I know it, we all know that we’re headed at a brick wall at 100 mph (don’t ask me to convert that to meters please).

An old friend that I miss who lives in Virginia once told me that you can’t comment like this without giving people one or two possible solutions. My solution for this is to trim the technology, take a step back, go to the park, play with the kids, watch a movie like “The Valley of Light.” Step back away from the computer, pick up a camera, go take a walk in the woods. Enjoy your life, just don’t live it.

History is About to Repeat Itself, and Here’s why…

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

Does history truly repeat itself? Why was there a Boston Tea Party? Why do so many Americans of all races, creeds, and political parties get together in what we call Tea Parties today? Why are Americans sick and tired of Washington? Why do politicians continue down this path even though they are clearly wrong? Despite the adverse result of polls regarding our political’s current efforts and actions, polls that politicians set their watches to every morning, they have chosen to ignore popular sediment. Why?

Perhaps history will repeat itself someday… read on.


Declaration of Independence
A DECLARATION OF CONGRESS MADE ON JULY 4, 1776

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Why the Rush to Pass Such a Horrible Excuse for a Health Care Bill?

Friday, December 25th, 2009

| home | welcome | recent work | navigation | mission | about |
| Blog Entry Archive |

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

On this glorious Christmas day, while surfing news on the web, I have encountered several comments concerning the Democrat effort to rush through Obama’s social health care plan, which will actually degrade the level of care we are allowed to have here in the states.

The question has been posed by several individuals, “Why are they rushing this thing so?”

Come on, it’s as plain as the nose on your face. Why would anyone rush legislation like this that promises to kill millions in its path? Why would anyone rush a toxic plan such as this that will suck the heart out of the health care system as it stands? I mean, who would even think of killing an industry that is content with a 3% net profit?

Here’s the answer: Individuals who fear the upcoming 2010 elections will kill any chance they have at reducing today’s population. I mean, if you think about it, by degrading the level of care we get, by limiting what seniors can get, by forcing everyone to be on it, they in essence assure that millions will eventually die because of a general lack of care.

They knew their days are numbered. Let’s hope the new legislators, hopefully real statesmen, will be able to reverse the damage they do after so many of these idiots and maggots are gone.

Why did you morons vote this man in anyway? You all need your health care revoked. It should be you that dies the early death and not older Americans and those who need critical services at any age but must wait in line for a year before they can even get a MRI.

Merry Christmas, and sorry for the anger.

Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth, Good-Will to men!

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

In a world of hate, corruption, and greed, it’s good to know that there have been men throughout this time whom are civilized and god-fearing. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was one of them.

Christmas Bells

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
    And wild and sweet
    The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And tho’t how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
    Had rolled along
    The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
    A voice, a chime,
    A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
    And with the sound
    The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
    And made forlorn
    The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

And in despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,” I said;
    “For hate is strong,
    And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!”

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
“God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
    The Wrong shall fail,
    The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

America’s Fate Foretold by Obadiah

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

| home | welcome | recent work | navigation | mission | about |
| Blog Entry Archive |

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

Is America’s fate really foretold in the visions of Obadiah? I was listening to John McTernan on the Sid Roth Supernatural television show discuss the visions of Obadiah. He spoke to the significance that this short book of the Old Testament may hold for the United States of America. As with most prophecies it’s hard to know exactly what it means, and hence man has spent thousands of years trying to determine the meaning.

Obadiah was written a long, long time ago. It comprises a single chapter in the Old Testament, snuggled in between Amos and Jonah. The only way to have ever understood this book, as well as many others, was to live now, at a time when all of this is happening. The same pertains to St. John’s Revelation, you must know the technologies of today in order to understand many things that John spoke of. Small but mighty, it may very well give us the answer to what’s happening here in America at this very time in our nation’s history.


Obadiah’s Vision and the United States
1The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle. 2Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised. 3The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 4Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah. 5If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

What makes me think that these passages could point to what we now see is the 5th verse: “If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night (how art thou cut off!), would they not steal only till they had enough? if grape-gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?”

Ask yourself what this president has done to this great nation? First, when Bill Clinton was president, Obama and his ACORN group, an extreme dangerous Leftist, political organization, lobbied and forced Congress to require banks to relax loan requirements because every American should be able to own their own home. Do you recall all the loan solicitations that hit your mail box every day of the week? Where are they now? That was no accident.

Then, when G.W. Bush was president, at the final hour of his presidency, it was Obama that asked him to invoke the very Act that forced banks high and low to take Federal money (FED money), along with forceful warnings, initially revealed by Wells Fargo of what would happen if they failed to do so. All of this eventually lead to bank failure after bank failure.

To me, verse 5 of Obadiah describes exactly what this president and his Int’l banker buddies have done to loot this country of its wealth. A country without wealth cannot defend itself. Neither can a nation without real wealth protect other nations from ravaging wolves who now stand inside the doorway of all nations by way of what we now know of as the New World Order.

Another part of the visions of Obadiah, according to John McTernan, can be read in verse 15 where it says “15For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.”

In Roth’s cited program, McTernan provides proof that there is a correlation between Obadiah’s visions and the United States. He uses FEMA records as well as historical data to provide it. It’s plain to see that this president, President Obama, stands against Israel, the home of God’s people, the Jews. No matter what you may think of what the Jews do with regards to their own defense, one thing is for sure, the Jews are God’s people. Like it or not, we must stand with them. (I have my theory on how and why the Jews are God’s chosen people, but that’s a commentary for a later time.)

What can you do about this? You can watch, listen, learn, and tell others. Remember, the power you have you may not understand, but I can assure you, you have more power at your disposal than you know. Remember what you were taught many years ago in school, “The people are only ruled by consent.”

Wake up, note what’s up, tell others. There is no defense against an informed public!

Al’s Views: On Government

Al Colombo's GKO Tech Blog

16 Dec 2009 — My contention all along has been that we struggle not against gov’t but rather against certain individuals above gov’t. These people make it a habit of owning and controlling gov’t by way of a few corrupt, unethical individuals within gov’t.

If those specific individuals were to go away, both above and within gov’t, then there would be absolutely no threat… for now. Someone would eventually take their places, however.

We Have Found the Enemy

Watch the successful person mess up and wallow in the details… It’s the American way to dote on others’ failures as a way of masking their own.

Ron Paul Just gave some testimony in a hearing with America’s Afghan war hawk, gen McChrystal, on 12 -10. Did anyone even know McChrystal was in DC and meeting with congress? Yup, Tiger Woods is the top headline but you haven’t heard a peep from the corporate media regarding these hearings or the economics of the Afghan war for that matter.
At the close of his statements, Ron Paul said the following: “we continue to secure and bolster a failing state, while encouraging an ideology and system of government unknown and unwanted by [the Afghan] people.”

You could substitute “American” in the parenthesis and we would be getting much closer to reality.

The Elite: Who Are They?

| Blog Entry Archive |

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

The masses are only ruled by consent and this is why the Elite work so hard to convince them that they want to be ruled with an iron fist. The war on drugs, global terrorism, and next domestic terrorism are all designed to frighten the masses into submission. The victimizer becomes the hero to the victim simply by hiding their role.


Former Republican Presidential Nominee Barry Goldwater Exposes the Elite
In his book, “With No Apologies,” Goldwater wrote, “The Trilateral Commission is intended to be the vehicle for multinational consolidation of the commercial and banking interests by seizing control of the political government of the United States. The Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power– political, monetary, intellectual and ecclesiastical. What the Trilateral Commission intends is to create a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system, they will rule the future.”

Greenie Wienie (Ed Bagley Jr.) Teaches how to Overcome Common Sense With Panic Attacks, Frantic Movements, Illogic, Chaos, and Insults

Al Colombo's GKO Technology Blog

Is there any common sense out there anymore? Have all actors lost their minds like Ed Bagley Jr.? In this video, Bagley says not to listen to anyone but a valid scientist when it comes to Global Warming. Whatever you do, don’t listen to this video for educational purposes because you’ll be sorely disappointed in Ed’s teaching ability.

All heck breaks out when Stewart mentions the emails that were hacked revealing the shenanigans of prominent global warming proponents on the cutting edge of this quasi- social/political science. What I took away from Ed here was chaos, confusion, and a good dose of panic. See what you think…

–Al Colombo


The Myth of Neutral Academic Peer Review Exploded
Poor Ed Begley, Jr., the greenest actor in Hollywood, could only repeat the mantra of “peer review, peer review” when he unwisely appeared on television to defend global warming. He told listeners that his scientific views as an actor are irrelevant – a correct observation – but peer review is authoritative. (If his ideas are irrelevant, then why did he consent to be interviewed?) At the end, he was frantic.
