Justice Loses Its Stars and Stripes

My cousin mentioned that the Department of Justice had lost it's stars and stripes (a number of months ago), so I took a look. It's somber and boring, but I don't think the lack of splash is the problem. The announcements are just scary--like asking us to read about Obama's new transparency or why Obamacare is so great. Are they kidding? He's the least transparent of any president in my voting years. Recent revelations on the fraud in Medicare and Medicaid show that this government is not ready for health care prime time.

But the quote on the website has an interesting trail--one very appropriate and transparent about this administration

. . . it's thought to be from C. Wilfred Jenks, a socialist/globalist, "British lawyer, C. Wilfred Jenks, who back in the late 1930s and after World War II was a leading figure in the "international law" movement, which sought to impose a global, common law, and advocated for global workers rights. Jenks was a long-time member of the United Nation's International Labor Organization, and author of a number of globalist tracts, including a set of essays published back in 1958, entitled The Common Law of Mankind.

Most telling: Jenks, as director of the ILO is credited with putting in place the first Soviet senior member of the UN organization, and also with creating an environment that allowed the ILO to give "observer status" to the Palestinian Liberation Organization, and to issue anti-Israeli statements, which precipitated efforts by the U.S. Congress to withdraw U.S. membership from the ILO. The U.S. actually did withdraw in the mid-1970s due to the organization's leftist leanings.

"It was Jenks's efforts that helped make the ILO a tool of the socialist and communist movement," says one of the DOJ lawyers. "We used to joke about how fitting it was that this was Janet Reno's favorite quote to use in speeches, and now the Obama folks think it encapsulates out department's mission."

Too bad they couldn't have found an American worth quoting for the "transparent" web page.
