Watch and listen to Governor Palin as she officially announces her resignation (this past July 4, 2009) from her position as Governor of Alaska.

Part 1 (12:05)

Part 2 (6:55)

Now, read/watch how these various ‘media people’ reported and interpreted the Governor’s resignation speech.

CNN’s Rick Sanchez discusses the possibility that Gov. Palin is resigning because …she is pregnant.

Joan Walsh, the editor-in-chief of Salon,com provided this insight in the following piece she wrote:
“In an angry, rambling press conference that will rival Gov. Mark Sanford’s as a stunning example of a bizarre public meltdown, Palin basically blamed her decision on her national critics, who she said were blocking her agenda and costing Alaska taxpayers money.”

Now, watch/listen to this exchange between CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Sarah Palin’s Spokeswomen:

CNN Anderson Cooper (5:49)

What is it about Governor Palin’s decision that Anderson Cooper does not understand. Focus on 3:53 to 4:10. Is it just me…or does Anderson appear to be rambling?

Rumors claiming that Palin is resigning due to ongoing FBI investigations against her have been refuted by both her attorney and an FBI spokesperson.Note: Follow ‘FBI spokesperson’ link-which contains latimes url address- AFTER you complete reading this entire SCV Journal post. Do this because this latimes link DOES NOT allow you to return ‘directly’ to SCV Journal..

• Some have said that Palin is resigning because she wants to cash in on her reputation by writing a book but she can’t do this while in office Palin signs deal for memoir to be published in 2010. This is not correct. Palin does not have to resign from office to be allowed to write her book.
• Some people speculate that Palin may be preparing for a 2012 run for national office. Some of these individuals believe that perhaps America is ready for a new political party. They feel that the Democrat party is controlled by so-called far left anti-american radical organizations (ACORN, ACLU , NCLR (LA RAZA) and that the Republican Party has forgotten it’s values and has equally sold out the American people.

Oh I don’t know…and I could be wrong…however – It appears that both Democrats and Republicans may be scared of a Palin candidacy in 2012.

Palin and her Alaska government administration have accomplished much while in office however the public (in my opinion) hears very little of it.

Check out the Alaska state government website for project updates (listed under ‘Priorities’ tab)..

Is the US media…dare I say it…B I A S E D???

If so…why?

Here is the transcript of Gov. Palin’s resignation speech as posted on her official website.

UPDATE V
November 18, 2009

Hmmm…Somebody is getting nervous (and its not Sarah Palin)

Read this Fox News web article.

Does Sarah Palin have a valid criticism when she questions why 11 AP reporters have been assigned to fact check her book versus assigning some of the AP reporters to “to ‘fact check’ what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations” ?

Excerpts:

“Sarah Palin is no normal politician, and at the Associated Press, apparently “Going Rogue” is no normal book.When the former Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor wrote her autobiography, the AP found a copy before its release date and assigned 11 people to fact check all 432 pages.

The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses and taxpayer-funded bailouts, using statements widely reported elsewhere. But it also speculated into Palin’s motives for writing “Going Rogue: An American Life,” stating as fact that the book “has all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto.”

Palin quickly hit back on a Facebook post titled “Really? Still Making Things Up?”

“Imagine that,” the post read. “11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to ‘fact check’ what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations, etc. Amazing.”

CNN Fact-Checks Sarah Palin’s Sex Appeal!

I am speechless…Honest to God…I can’t believe this broadcast.

You must watch this to believe that it really happened.

What a waste of 3 minutes and 25 seconds worth of valuable national news station broadcast time.

Ya gotta love the mainstream media…NOT.

Hmmm…This is interesting.

This article provides a nice overview of the growing US federal government resistance movement.

State legislators (including Alaska’s) are sending out the message loud and clear that they expect Congress to uphold the provisions of the US Constitution and US Supreme Court case law which limit the scope and exercise of federal government authority over the states.

Palin to feds: Alaska is sovereign state
Constitutional rights reasserted in growing resistance to Washington

Read this latest article written by Chelsea Schilling, a reporter for WorldNet Daily .

Excerpts:
”Gov. Sarah Palin has signed a joint resolution declaring Alaska’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution – and now 36 other states have introduced similar resolutions as part of a growing resistance to the federal government.

Just weeks before she plans to step down from her position as Alaska governor, Palin signed House Joint Resolution 27, sponsored by state Rep. Mike Kelly on July 10, according to a Tenth Amendment Center report.

The resolution “claims sovereignty for the state under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States.

While seven states – Tennessee, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Alaska and Louisiana – have had both houses of their legislatures pass similar decrees, Alaska Gov. Palin and Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen are currently the only governors to have signed their states’ sovereignty resolutions.

The resolutions all address the Tenth Amendment that says: “powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

End of excerpts.

Stay tuned to this growing movement which has been spearheaded by US State Legislators in an effort to protect their constitutional authority.

Notes:

For more information on this movement, refer to the Tenth Amendment Center website.
According to its website, the Tenth Amendment Center ”works to preserve and protect Tenth Amendment freedoms through information and education. The center serves as a forum for the study and exploration of state and individual sovereignty issues, focusing primarily on the decentralization of federal government power.”

Worldnet Daily is a daily web publication considered by many as having a conservative slant with regards to its presentation of news, facts and information. It was started in 1997 by Joseph and Elizabeth Farah. The site provides news (original articles published by staff members as well as news sourced from other publications),editorials, forums and polling information.

Although the mainstream media and others consider this publication as being controversial (a few of the articles published in the past were based on news items that were considered ‘speculative’ at the time), it is important not to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

There are many respected journalists and authors working for WND.

A good rule of thumb for readers is to follow the journalists and writers whose credibility has been proven.

One should keep this in mind before choosing to ignore an article because it appears in a particular publication or news program.

I say this because there are many reputable, credible, highly credentialed journalists and authors who are being prevented from publishing their material in the mainstream press- for a variety of reasons.

To stay well-informed in today’s media environment, it is important to be able to follow credible journalists, authors, broadcasters etc…no matter where they may be disseminating their information from.

July 7, 2009

Alaska governor says the state has paid almost $ 2 million fighting ‘trumped up’ ethics complaints against her.

The Palin family has personally shelled out close to $500,000 in personal legal debts.

Was the goal of this smear campaign to bankrupt the Palin family?

Follow these three links to gain some insight as to who some of the players behind complaints and lawsuits against Gov. Palin are/were.

Here is a list of the 18 complaints filed against Palin.

Learn how and why every single complaint (except one minor one which is still pending) against her has been DISMISSED OR THROWN OUT.

Ethics Complaints-Part 1 Posted July 4, 2009

Ethics Complaints- Part 2 Posted July 4, 2009

Ethics Complaints-Part 3 posted July 6, 2009

This short series represents one of the most comprehensive treatments of this issue (Ethics complaints against Palin) that I have read to date.

The author attempts to provide answers to the ‘Five W’s’ (who, what, where, when, why ) and even the “H” (how)- simple, direct questions which serve as the backbone of a good investigative piece.

The author’s opinions and conclusions (which are, of course, subjective) are included throughout the three part series..

The facts however are objective and easily verifiable .

You decide if you agree with some of the opinions and conclusions.

Hat tip to SB in CT for these links!

‘Now, Sarah’s Folly’ by Maureen Dowd .

Wow…what brought on this tirade against Palin in Dowd’s latest (July 5, 2009) NY Times Op-ed piece ?

Excerpts:

“Caribou Barbie is one nutty puppy.”

“Usually we don’t find that exquisite battiness in our leaders until they’ve been battered by sordid scandals like Watergate (Nixon), gnawing problems like Vietnam (L.B.J.), or scary threats like biological terrorism (Cheney).”

“When Lyndon Johnson was president, some of his staff began to think of him as “a sick man,” as Bill Moyers told Arthur Schlesinger Jr. Moyers and his fellow Johnson aide Dick Goodwin even began reading up on mental illness — Bill on manic depression and Dick on paranoia.“

“And so it was, Todd Purdum learned, as he traveled Alaska reporting on Palin for Vanity Fair, that the governor’s erratic and egoistic behavior has been a source of concern for people there.”

End of excerpts.

Read the latest (website link follows below) written by Dee Dee Myers’ husband Todd Purdum.As readers may recall, Myers served as President Bill Clinton’s Press Secretary from 1993 to 1994.

Todd Purdum wrote this piece for the August 2009 edition of Vanity Fair titled It Came from Wasilla .

‘Sexiest brand in Republican politics’, ‘dressed all in black; no red Naughty Monkey Double Dare pumps tonight’, ‘the first indisputably fertile female to dare to dance with the big dogs’…

This is how Purdum describes Palin in the article-I am not kidding.

Todd Purdum…I have a suggestion for you: TAKE AN ICE COLD SHOWER before you write your next article about Governor Palin.
