Native Puerto Ricans left wondering what to do now
Just because it's "official" doesn't necessarily mean a birth certificate is real, WND has reported in its coverage of the dispute over President Obama's eligibility. Now it seems that not even "real" means "real."
That's after Puerto Rico officials have determined a law enacted in December – apparently to combat identity theft – will make every Puerto Rican birth certificate invalid July 1.
According to the Associated Press, that means hundreds of thousands of people of Puerto Rican descent in the 50 states will have to arrange to get new documentation.
"I was planning a trip, and now I don't know," Julissa Flores, 33, of Orlando, Fla., told AP. "Do I need to go get a passport? If my birth certificate is invalid, am I stuck here?"

Law enforcement officials, politicians discuss illegal immigration
WEATHERFORD -- Area law enforcement officials grappling with illegal immigration and the problems they say it brings -- from drug trafficking to increased demand on healthcare providers -- said Monday that they need help dealing with the issue in North Texas.
That help could come from Congress, which they say could send more money for training and equipment, or from the state, which might gain the ability to tax transfers of money out of the country and use that revenue to help law enforcement or healthcare.
"There's no end to it," Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said of illegal immigration. "It's just a fact of life."
Fowler was among more than a dozen law enforcement officials, along with state Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, and Minuteman Project co-founder Jim Gilchrist, who joined U.S. Rep. Kay Granger, R-Fort Worth, for a round-table discussion about immigration Monday in Weatherford.

Gov. who linked Christians, violence latest Obama pick
Missouri report tied 'domestic terrorists' with opposition to abortion, immigration
President Obama has picked to advise him on military actions inside the U.S. the Missouri governor whose state "Information Analysis Center" last year linked conservative organizations to domestic terrorism and said law enforcement officers should watch for suspicious individuals who may have bumper stickers from Ron Paul or Chuck Baldwin.
Missouri Gov. Jeremiah Nixon, a Democrat, is being joined on the Obama's special advisory panel by the governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuno, and Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's replacement when she moved to Washington.
They are among Obama's nominations for the 10 positions on Obama's new "Council of Governors" that he will use for advice on "military activities in the United States."
WND reported earlier when Obama announced the council to advise on military actions in the U.S. and "to protect our nation against all types of hazards."
A subsequent WND report confirmed when a rebellion developed to the order, and a new push was launched for states to adopt laws limiting the use of their National Guard units unless there is an invasion, insurrection or other limited circumstance.
The original announcement said the new council is to include governors and administration
officials to review "such matters as involving the National Guard of the various states; homeland defense, civil support; synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities."
However, there was no definition of the group's authority. Can the council recommend "military activities" and can the governors, who already are in command of their own state guard units, mandate activities outside of their areas of jurisdiction? The White House did not respond to WND questions on the issue.
A new announcement from the White House lists Nixon as one of the nominees.
"He is responsible for operating Missouri's innovative fusion center, the Missouri Information Analysis Center," the announcement confirmed.
It was in 2009 when the MIAC issued a report that not only linked conservative groups to domestic terrorism and warned law enforcement to watch for vehicles with bumper stickers promoting Paul and Baldwin, it also warned police to watch out for individuals with "radical" ideologies based on Christian views, such as opposing illegal immigration, abortion and federal taxes.

Palin: 'America is ready for another revolution'
Warns: 'Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda' reflects worldview out of touch with enemy U.S. faces
NASHVILLE – Sarah Palin received a rousing welcome from a crowd of more than 1,000 tea partiers last night at the first national tea party convention as she sent a strong message that she supports lower taxes, smaller government, transparency, energy independence and strong national security.
A large banquet room at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel was crowded from wall-to-wall with energized tea partiers and as many as 120 press organizations from around the world – including broadcasters from Spain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Croatia and Japan.
"I'm a big supporter of this movement," she said. "America is ready for another revolution."
Palin applauded Scott Brown's recent Senate win in Massachusetts.
"Scott Brown represents what this beautiful movement is all about," she said. "He was just a guy with a truck and passion to serve our country. It took guts, and it took a lot of hard work. But with grass-roots support, Scott Brown carried the day."

Joint Chiefs of National Guard?
States' rights rebellion over National Guard
Lawmakers fight to keep governors, not president, in control of troops
Responding to an executive order by President Obama, a new push is under way for states to adopt laws limiting the use of their National Guard units unless there is an invasion, insurrection or other limited circumstance.
As WND reported, Obama's order establishes a new "Council of Governors" designated to advise on the "synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States."
The recent order, posted on the White House website, was accompanied by the explanation that the group is to work "to protect our nation against all types of hazards." It comes just weeks after the president issued a similarly obscure order vastly expanding INTERPOL's privileges in the U.S.
The White House said the new council is to include governors and administration officials to review "such matters as involving the National Guard of the various states; homeland defense, civil support; synchronization and integration of state and federal military activities in the United States; and other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities."

Birth certificate 'baloney': 'Official' doesn't mean real
Investigation shows how terrorists, fakers could pass as U.S. citizens
When it comes to birth certificates, just because it's official, doesn't mean its real.
A WND investigation has revealed that over the past three decades, changes to how the 50 states process vital documents have opened wide new avenues for nefarious parties to alter records and thus acquire fraudulent, but official birth certificates to falsely pass as U.S. citizens.
Thanks to the states' nearly exclusive reliance on digitalized vital records, a foreign terrorist, for example, wishing to obtain a U.S. passport for unhindered travel in and out of the country could – with the right computer knowledge or coercion of the right state employee – walk into a county courthouse and within minutes, pick up a genuine, but completely fraudulent American birth certificate for his passport application … and no one would be the wiser.
"It's entirely possible that these [vital records] systems could be altered by someone who wishes to do so," says Professor Eugene H. Spafford, executive director of the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security.

Busted! Obama praise planted in U.S. newspapers
Bogus messages from 'president's supporters' infest American print
Obama supporters are flooding unsuspecting newspapers with pro-Obama letters purportedly from average citizens – with duplicate messages appearing in more than 70 publications across the nation.
One writer identified as "Ellie Light" has published identical form letters in newspapers around the country. Sabrina Eaton of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Light claims to have different hometowns within the respective newspaper readership areas. Each letter is nearly identical in grammar, style and subject.
