Good afternoon, this is Dan Hocker. Welcome back to The Lion’s Den, on Renueva Tu Fe Radio, 1430 AM. Before we get rolling with the topic for this past Wednesday, I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Ours was a big day! I want to begin this posting by thanking so many of you who responded during our radiothon, last Thurday, Friday, and Saturday. Wow, did you ever touch our hearts? It was a great beginning, and we are thankful for your help, but if you are listening to 1430AM today, and didn’t respond this past weekend, we still need your help to raise the rest of our budget. It’s not too late for you to join our team, guaranteeing the future of Renueva Tu Fe Radio. Why not call today with your faith promise? Help us keep your station on the air, 706-279-1430. If you believe this is vitally important, as I do, then why not join our support team today?

For us, Thanksgiving has always been a day when the family gets together for a special meal, although some things have changed as the kids have married. Since their spouses have family traditions too, we don’t always have everybody, but we still get together to eat a traditional meal with turkey and dressing. I know, there are way too many carbs and too many deserts, but it's THANKSGIVING! Maybe I can burn most of them off before we start on those Christmas celebrations! Hey, I hope you take time to remember what Thanksgiving is all about! Remember to thank God for His blessings! Has He been good to us! Let’s begin this afternoon with Michael Smith’s recognition of God’s Greatness in the classic, How Great Thou Art from the Album, No Higher Calling.

I want to introduce today’s topic by sharing a piece I found on the website www.rallycongress.com. Do you wonder, why there is so much silence in the media about the possible Constitutional Crisis we are facing, with reference to possibility that the President Elect may not meet the Constitutional Requirement of Article II Section 1, of being a natural born citizen of the United States? I know, some of you are wondering when I will drop this and move on. Well, I want you to hear what Joan Swirsky, a journalist and author from New York wrote as she signed the petition at www.rallycongress.com/constitutional-qualification/1244 . By the way, I logged on and signed the same petition too, and then emailed it to 120 folks on my email list. Joan entitles her comments, A Deafening Silence.

It is no mystery that the leftist media have refused to mention this potentially looming Constitutional crisis in virtually all of their print and electronic coverage. Having shilled for Obama for the past two years - dismissing his longtime radical associations, obfuscating his radical voting record, and taking a pass at their jobs of vetting a presidential candidate - their failure to cover the most explosive story of the 2008 campaign speaks volumes about collusion of the highest order. Then there are the late-night comics, as well as snarky "humorists" like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who take pride in being irreverent and "outing" both people and subjects that others avoid. Not a word.

But what about the failure of the powerful conservative media - how to explain their total blackout of this story? Let's look at their reactions:

Fox News: Total Silence. Did the healthy shares that Saudi Arabia bought of Fox influence the network's non-coverage of this story? After all, it's no secret which candidate the Saudis endorsed! We know that TV shows, including Fox, are on a seven-second delay, the better to bleep out offensive or inappropriate
material. Doesn't it strike Fox viewers as strange that not one of their outspoken guests, even once, mentioned this story? Who warned them not to?

Rush Limbaugh: Total Silence. Why has the Excellence-in-Broadcasting's "Dr. of Democracy" - the man who eats sacred cows for breakfast - not touched this story?

Mark Levin: Total Silence. Why has this popular radio host, commonly known as "the Great One," abandoned his well-deserved reputation as a Constitutional scholar to studiously not address this Constitutional issue?

Laura Ingraham: Total Silence. Here is another radio powerhouse and former clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas taking pains not to mention this case...not a word!

Bill O'Reilly: Total Silence. Yes, the guy who claims he's "just looking out for the folks"...voiceless!

Sean Hannity: Total Silence. The iconic radio and TV host who tackles every controversial subject under the sun...missing in action!

Have you wondered why we don’t hear anything from these folks? Got any idea? Give me a call here at 706-279-1430. We’d like to hear from you. Remember that you can also email us at thelionsden1430@live.com or lafosadeleones@live.com. You can also join some 74,000 plus who have already signed the petition at www.rallycongress.com/constitutional-qualification/1244 . I have added a link to this site. Just click on "Sign the Petition," under Links.


Hey, whatever happens, we are not like those who have no hope if we have put our trust and confidence in the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. This afternoon if your heart is troubled let me point you to the only hope of the nations, and the only hope of America, Jesus Christ. Why not call on Him to change your heart today. Here’s Edwin Harch singing Change My Heart O God.

we’re talking about the amazing SILENCE of major media about the possible Constitutional Crisis we are facing with reference to the very real possibility that the President Elect may not have met the eligibility requirements of the Constitution under Article II, Section 1, that state he must be a “natural born citizen” to serve in the office of President. If you want to join the conversation remember you can call us here at 706-279-1430. Also, if you missed our radiothon and want to support Renueva Tu Fe Radio, we welcome your call today.

Now back to our topic. Joan Swirsky continues with her comments on what she calls the “Deafening Silence” of not only the major media but also the conservative media. She writes:

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. The very people - the so-called loyal opposition - who should have been shouting this story from the rooftops for months on end went mute. Ordinarily they would be the first to tell you that our Republic has no more precious document than the U.S. Constitution - a document that set the stage for the greatest experiment in human freedom since the beginning of recorded history. People like me - and multi-millions of others - are aware of what happens when the "salami tactics" of tyrants are employed in the service of leftwing ideology.

First, there is a charismatic character promising "change" and "hope," but who changes his tune once in power. Second there is a whittling down of the laws of the land and the arrogant dismissal of the documents on which the nation was founded. Third there is the blacking-out of all media that disagree with Dear Leader's message. And fourth there is the rounding-up and incarceration - or worse - of all dissidents.

Let me add here what I believe is some important information. Joan Swirsky also writes in another article I read on her website that she is a Jew, and that the nothing in all of history has affected her more than the Holocaust. Now, I’m sure that none of us want to think anything like that could happen in America, but she continues with this:

This is not theory. This is history. But while both left and right media thought it appropriate to comment at length about Obama's seven-page Questionnaire for those seeking work in his administration - a probing that makes a Pap Test, mammogram, colonoscopy, and endoscopy in one visit seem mild by comparison - not one of these cowardly journalists has asked the simple question: Mr. Obama, where is your birth certificate?

Well, I don’t know about you, but I have joined the thousands of Americans, like Joan, who are calling on Congress, and the Supreme Court to defend the Constitution. It is time for Truth to prevail. “We the people” just want the questions answered with Truth! You can sign the petition too! There is a link provided entitled, "Sign the Petition," right here on my blog. Hey, you are welcome to share your comments here or on the air Wednesdays from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm EST.

While we’re talking about Truth let me remind you that we must face the Truth someday. Maybe the truth is that you have been living life your way instead of God’s Way. I want to remind you that Jesus came to pay the price for our sins, and make a way for us to be forgiven. That’s the message of our next song by Randy Butler, Before You, on the album The Very Best of Winds of Worship.

I hope you have found the way to have a heart that is pure before God.

As we return to today’s topic, I invite you and join the conversation. I am certainly interested in what you have to say. Hey, I confess I just don’t understand why this isn’t a major story on all the networks. If the charges of Phillip J. Berg are true, and we go forward with the vote of the Electoral College on December 15th and the Inauguration on January 20th without thoroughly addressing these issues, then we would effectively usher in an age of lawlessness with no regard for the Constitution, the foundational legal document for the rule of law in the United States of America.

Joan continues in this section entitled SCROUNGING FOR ANSWERS:

I've written several books, not one of them fictional. And thousands of articles, not one of them based on sinister suspicions or conspiracy theories. But the case of the U.S. media's complete non-coverage of this major story has gotten me to speculate on what - or who - may be behind this phenomenon. What force could be so powerful as to silence our country's putative guardians of free speech - the titans of the Fourth Estate?

Perhaps the mystery goes back to 2004, when President Bush won his second term in office and in his first press conference in the White House said that he had "earned political capital and intended to spend it."

Then - suddenly and inexplicably - he went into a year-long hibernation. He rarely appeared in public and gave no major speeches. Finally he reemerged - albeit weakly - in late November or early December of 2005

Could it be that shortly after the president's reelection, he and major government officials received highly credible evidence from America's ruthless Islamist enemies that they had a number of devastating (probably nuclear suitcase) weapons - set up and ready to be activated in as many as six-to-10 of our major cities - unless he (the president) tacked left and played nice for the following two years?
Was America taken hostage?

The president, one could speculate, had only two choices: (1) play "chicken" and possibly sacrifice the lives of millions of Americans and the destruction of major American cities, or (2) opt for the lesser of two evils, the second being to pave the way for a dangerous Trojan Horse - qualified or not - to capture the White House.

Could it be that the media blackout of the most explosive story of any presidential election in American history has been choreographed by none other than the current POTUS - the most powerful man in the entire world? This would certainly explain why President Bush has not "been himself" since January 20, 2005. It would also explain why the all-powerful media have taken his marching orders - including the New York Times, which takes particular pleasure in undermining and sabotaging the president, even when it comes to national security issues.

If this happened, it would have had to involve the highest echelon in our intelligence services, who might have paid personal visits to publishers throughout the United States, as well as to top TV and radio executives, who themselves would have passed down iron-clad orders - to their anchors, broadcasters, even comedians - to follow the blackout order or face Draconian consequences. Clearly, they followed their marching orders.

On November 4 - Election Day - the Dow was above 9,000. It is now plummeting to below 7,000, (That would have been November 23rd when she wrote this article.) suggesting that even the "globalists" among us prefer tax cuts and capitalism to tax hikes and not creeping but galloping socialism - or what the esteemed Dr. Jack Wheeler insists is fascism.

Buyers' remorse is in the air. America has been hijacked. What a price we will pay if the Supreme Court and the Electoral College abandon their oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution by capitulating - as the media have - to our enemies. God Save America!
