Is the US involved in quiet diplomacy or clandestine duplicity with jihad supporters? The US Department of State is withering on the vine and US foreign policy has shriveled up like a raisin. Victoria Neuland the designated mouthpiece for DOS is holding daily press briefings to keep journalists up to speed on the events and situations world wide that effect the American people. Ms. Neuland has been wasting the time of all involved by avoiding most questions and answering some with vague non-answers. Well Monday Associated Press reporter Matthew Lee had had enough and took Ms. Neuland to the woodshed over the Israel/Gaza conflict that erupted a week ago.

Mr. Lee just wanted to know why the DOS will not call a spade a spade over the current situation watch the video.

Mr. Lee How do you – this whole thing of saying nothing, I’m not sure I understand why you think that that’s helpful to the situation. You say that it would not be helpful for you to discuss any of your conversations, that quiet diplomacy is the way to de-escalate that. Well, you’ve been doing your quiet diplomacy now for almost a week. How’s it going so far?
Ms. Neuland We are working hard with the parties. We’re working hard with --
Mr. Lee Hasn’t it occurred to anybody that maybe being less quiet might get more results, though? Squeaky wheel gets grease, that kind of thing?
Ms. Neuland I’ll let the --
Mr. Lee You’re being silent while people are dying left and right.
Ms. Neuland Matt, we are being far from silent. The President has --
Mr. Lee You’re not telling us anything about what you’re – when the Turks come out – when the leaders of Turkey come out and say that Israel is engaged in acts of terrorism and you refuse to say that you don’t agree with that – or maybe you do agree with it – that’s being silent.
Ms. Neuland Matt, we have made a decision that we need to engage in our diplomatic work diplomatically. We have been very, very clear about where we stand on this, which is that – which is --
Mr. Lee And that’s because you don’t practice diplomacy from the podium? Is that what you’re getting back to?
Ms. Neuland We don’t practice diplomacy --
Mr. Lee Yeah.
Ms. Neuland -- from the podium. We have been very clear that Israel has a right of self-defense. We’ve been very clear that rockets continue to be fired and land on Israel. We’ve been very clear that we are working to try to get this conflict de-escalated. We have been very clear about our concern for the civilians and innocents on both sides who are getting caught in this, and that’s as --
Mr. Lee And yet you won’t stick up for your ally, Israel, when the Turks, another one of your allies, say that they’re engaged in terrorism in Gaza?
Ms. Neuland We have been extremely clear about our concern for Israel’s security, about the fact that Israel has a right to self-defense, but I am not going to go further than that today, Matt.
Mr. Lee Why can’t you say that you don’t agree with the Turks?
Ms. Neuland Because I’m not going to get into a public spitting match with allies on either side. We’re just not going to do that, okay?
Mr. Lee And you think that that’s worse? A public spitting match with one of your allies is worse than hundreds of people dying every day?
Ms. Neuland I don’t understand the question here. There’s not a question here. You’re just looking for a fight. Let’s go.
Mr. Lee No, no, no. The fight is already on.
Ms. Neuland Yeah. Absolutely.
Mr. Lee The fight’s going on over there.
Ms. Neuland Absolutely.
Mr. Lee And you guys, by refusing to say anything about what you’re trying to do or refusing to say whether you agree or disagree with comments that are being made by your allies or others --
Ms. Neuland We --
Mr. Lee -- that makes things worse, not better.
Ms. Neuland We, of course, agree that rhetorical attacks against Israel are not helpful at this moment.
Mr. Lee Okay.
Ms. Neuland Is that what you were looking for, Matt?
Mr. Lee Yes. Thank you. Yes.
Ms. Neuland Thank you.

This exchange was an indication of the frustration level on both the part of Ms. Neuland and the press corp. The most transparent administration in history has proven again to be the most opaque. Obviously the secrecy and the lying is a concerted effort to deceive the American people and the world. Just like the Benghazi debacle the Obama Proletariat is not willing to act decisively on any side, because they need cover for their real aspirations. The rocket war started by the terrorist group Hamas is extremely uncomfortable for president Obama. The situation forces Obama to choose Israel over the Muslim extremists and it is making him sick.

When the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan comes out and proclaims that Israel is a "terrorist state," and is undertaking a process of "ethnic cleansing" in the Gaza territory towards the Palestinians is so outrageous that it demands a response, but no condemnation was forthcoming. Erdogan has also condemned the US in their lack of involvement in the Syrian conflict by saying the West ignored the “sufferings of Muslims in Palestine, Syria and Myanmar because of lack of oil”.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has made a trip to Gaza along with other Muslim state FMs in support of the Hamas leadership. Davutoglu and Erdogan are on the same page with Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood leadership. Since the advent of new leadership in Egypt Iranian Missiles and missile components have been consistently smuggled into Gaza. The so called ally of the US has been undermining US interests in the region since it’s inception and now the lack of understanding in the Middle East has come home to bite Obama and Secretary of State Clinton in the ass. Mrs. Clinton has jetted off to Israel to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu and later to Egypt to make a house call on Mohamed Morsi and the leader of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas . Her trip as defined by Victoria Neuland as a mission to “de-escalate” the situation.

Just like the Turkey boys Davutoglu and Erdogan she is all bark and no bite, it is doubtful that she will come away with anything meaningful, hence the obtuse nature of the DOS press briefings. What the world is witnessing right now is jihadist propaganda with pictures of dead jihad babies. The truth of the matter is that the Hamas leadership has launched missiles from populated areas and hide their missiles in schools hospitals and apartment buildings making the avoidance of casualties impossible. This is a strategy thought out and executed for the sympathy of the media and this scenario is being played out in the world media to portray Israel as the aggressor. The Hamas Jihadists are hiding behind women and children using them as human shields and when they are killed by Israeli retaliation then Muslims like the Jerky Turkey Boys call Israel's response “ethnic cleansing”

The narrative coming out the Muslim countries has been that Israel has over responded to the missile attacks by Hamas and that Washington needs to stifle the Israeli aggression. What the truth is, Hamas has launched over 1000 missiles into Israel and that the Iron Dome System has been 90% successful in knocking them out of the sky. As a matter of fact Iron Dome has changed the balance of power between the Islamist extremists that started the missile conflict. In addition to Iron Dome’s ability to track incoming missiles and shoot them down it calculates the trajectory of the missile's origin and destination. This is significant because if the system determines that the missile will fall in an unpopulated area it will let it go. Regardless of the missiles destination the system also calculates the origin of the launch giving a strike pilot precise coordinates so he can launch against the missile battery taking it out. This is the point at which most of the casualties have been occurring during the defensive air strikes to eliminate the threat to the Israeli people. If Hamas was not such a bunch of pussies then they would have designated bases where the general public were not allowed because it would be too dangerous.

As far as the rag head pussies in the Gaza strip are concerned they can all go to hell and if they continue to shoot their shit into Israel then the ground war will commence, rightfully so. They need to die because their is no diplomacy with an extremist organisation that will not listen to reason. These sub-humans breed only to raise jihad babies and indoctrinate them to believe that Jewish people do not have the right to life. So why should we cry for the scum sucking vermin laying dead in the streets of Gaza. As far as sending humanitarian aid to these vermin forget about it let em bleed out.

4 More Years Of Tears

2012-11-07T20:26:00.001-05:00

Thank you America for the decision that you made yesterday. Yes the American people have spoken and have re-elected Barack Hussein Obama. By a small majority of just over two million voters the American people have to live with the ramifications of this mans decisions. Those decisions will affect generations of Americans and some day in the future a small child will say to his grandfather “Is it true that you ate meet every day when you were my age, can we afford to have some meet for dinner this week?” Yes the American people have voted and by doing so sold out the country for a bail out, a welfare check, the promise of free healthcare and a cell phone. The win was possible in part by labor unions that take your money in the form of dues so they can line the pockets of politicians that promise a socialist utopia for the underclass.

The day after the Americans showed their wisdom the stock market fell like a brick of the roof of a skyscraper with the energy sector taking the biggest hit. The smart money is as they say still on the sidelines and will not come back into the game anytime soon. Companies looking to expand will continue to bank their cash and weight it out because they know that tax increases and government spending cuts are inevitable. And the business owners and corporate CEOs will be compensating with layoffs and downsizing.

The ramifications of the current government expansion and regulations will force corporations to exit the nation for friendlier shores that are willing to except their money and jobs. The American people should be proud to know that they had a major hand in their own demise, just like the government that bites the hand that feeds it, we have seen the enemy and he is us.

American women should be delighted with the fact that their right to an elective abortion and birth control pills is now going to be provided to them by way of a government mandate. That is such an important and pivotal issue that the country would have been destroyed without President Obama standing guard at the doors of Planned Parenthood clinics. After All with a nation in decline caused by failed government policy the future generation of Americans will only grow up with fewer prospects and higher tuition costs. So what's the point in having a child anyway when it is so much easier and cheaper to kill it, and your mandated government health insurance will pay for it. So now that the war on women has been won and the evil republican has been defeated, American women can now breathe easier when they're applying for their free Obama phone and a gift basket of public assistance programs.

The 51% of Americans who voted democrat must know that President Obama will be spending tax dollars and borrowed Chinese money on the best interest of the nation. The auto bailout and the clean energy programs have been so successful that we Americans will be reaping the benefits of those programs for the next 100 years. Just think we will not have any asthma causing coal fired power plants producing the electricity that powers your Ipodpads. And all those dirty coal miners will now have the opportunity to sit at home and collect unemployment till it runs out, then maybe they could hire an attorney to get them declared disabled so they can permanently collect government money. The bailout of GM and Chrysler was such a stroke of genius on the part of the president, it has saved and produced more auto workers jobs in Mexico and China than ever before. And Detroit has never been in a better situation to be chosen as the nations largest ghost town. Yes those 51 percenters sure knew what they were doing when they voted for the savior. The foresight of the Obama administration was just uncanny in the fact that they invested $2.6 billion tax dollars and borrowed Chinese money on 19 innovators in the green energy sector. These companies actually pioneered the technique of hoodwinking the public into products that were so useless that they promptly went out of business shortly after receiving their corporate welfare.

Yes we are all grateful for the president’s generosity, he is so generous with our money that the treasury has run short of cash again. On Aug. 2, 2011, President Obama signed a deal that he had negotiated with congressional leaders to increase the debt limit by $ 2.4 trillion. And 15 months later the balance is $171.765 billion that's enough for about 42 days at the current spending rate. That means there's not enough money for December of this year. The initial agreement was for the $2.4 Trillion to last till 2013 but the president and his proletariat are so generous that the Treasury Department is forced to auction bonds to help cover the shortfall. Even though congress is not in session, according to Treasury there are some “extraordinary measures” that may be taken to allow for plenty of “headroom” under the debt ceiling and to give congress more time to react, whatever the hell that means.

The president is such a great guy by being so generous his political machine decided to do a massive assault weapons giveaway to needy Mexicans. And yes those pesky Mexicans put them to good use by killing hundreds of people on both sides of the border. The killing spree included 16 teenagers that were attending a birthday party in Juarez. The weapons were also used in attacks against US federal law enforcement officials. By re-electing President Obama the voters recognize how caring and compassionate the Obama Proletariat is, this was demonstrated recently when the State Department decided that an excessive security presence in Libya may offend the Muslim jihadist population. So as an extension of good will and with the direction of the president, American security was cut back to nothing more than a skeleton crew of personnel. Unfortunately for the ambassador and his contingent this resulted in them being a soft target and they were attacked and four people including the ambassador were killed. However it is important to remember that by keeping our security presence at such a low level we did not offend the al-Qaeda linked attackers. Gee the president thinks of everything, no wonder why he is referred to as the smartest person in the room.

Yes we are lucky to have a man like Barack Hussein Obama it will be interesting to see what he chooses to do now that he has been given four more years. Just think the president has the opportunity to solve the Syrian crisis, the nuclear weapons race in Iran, the Mexican drug cartel wars, soaring energy costs, illegal immigration, Muslim extremists in the Middle East and their associated “man caused disasters” the list of opportunities is just endless for him, after all he has such a high opinion of himself at this point, he can do anything he wants.

Brass Balls Vs. Raisins

2012-10-31T16:17:00.002-04:00

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad

The conflict in Syria has gone on for almost two years now and there is no end in sight. Why? There is no National leader or international contingent able to match the bravado of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed in bizarre and brutal actions carried out by both sides in the conflict. Hundreds of thousands have abandoned their homes seeking safe haven in Turkey and Jordan. Still others have taken up arms to fight for their freedom in a civil war that has turned into a futile conflict.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan

Turkish President Abdullah Gul

Political leaders from around the world have proven to be impotent when standing up to al-Assad. Syrian forces have fired mortars and rockets into Turkey and shot down a Turkish plane. These provocations garnered only a limp response from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who talked tough during the beginning stages of the conflict. Erdogan’s words have not been backed up with action proving he is a dog that is all bark and no bite. The President of Turkey Abdullah Gul has also issued empty statements regarding the Syrian conflict but has done nothing militarily to resolve the situation. Turkish leaders when asked about their stance in the conflict they all remark that the Syrian and Turkish people have a deep kinship dating back centuries.

Jordan's King Abdullah

Jordan's King Abdullah originally took a pacifist role in the situation by sending his representatives to Damascus for discussions on how to resolve the political uprisings and protests peacefully.The king has also supported all resolutions proposed by the UN and Arab League to bring the conflict to an end. Like Turkey Jordan has been host to millions of displaced Syrians. These acts of generosity prove that Syria's neighbors do have a longstanding affinity for each other. The ever expanding refugee populations are draining Jordan of their resources, particularly fresh water. These reasons alone should be enough to force al-Assad from his ivory tower but King Abdullah has been reluctant to raise his fist in anger. The king has found sufficient resolve to invite the American armed forces to stay behind after a joint exercise “Operation Eager Lion” that took place last spring. The Army special operations forces set up shop with personnel that specialize in biological and chemical warfare and decontamination. Combat ready units are also deployed along Jordan’s northern border with Syria. The 150 U.S. Army Special Forces are there to augment the king's army and are by no means sufficient to carry out a cross border action with the Syrian military.

U.S. President Barack Obama

The President of the United States Barack Obama has said that the only way American armed forces would intervene in the Syrian civil war was that if al-Assad moved any of his chemical weapons. Well chemical weapons were moved and Obama changed his tune, he is now saying that their would only be repercussions if the bio/chem weapons are used. CIA sources report that MOST stockpiles are secure? The Stockpiles are not centralized but scattered around the country in 50 to 60 depots. These weapons can be deployed quickly and by various methods. aircraft, ballistic missile, mortar shells, artillery rockets and IEDs. If these weapons are deployed in small quantities no one will be able to stop their use and when they are used it will be too late for not only a preemptive strike but a retaliatory strike as well. Small quantities of agents such as mustard gas canisters could already be on the move to al-Qaeda in Iraq and no one would be alerted till after an attack.

President al-Assad has played his cards very well and his brash military moves have kept him in the seat of Syrian power. No matter what you think of the man or his tactics he has the brass balls and he has shriveled his detractors into raisins. Now that the conflict is approaching the two year milestone it is a very real possibility that the people of Syria will be experiencing his brass balls for quite some time.

Brigadier General Manaf Tlas

The United Nations at this point is a non-actor in the Syrian situation and will continue to be a stooge organisation on the world stage. It will take a strong regional leader to step up and take charge of the situation in Syria if their is a real desire to overthrow President al-Assad and bring about a new democratic government. However the motivation is just not there right now. A political resolution to the Syrian civil war seems to be as distant as the moon but what maybe in al-Assad’s stars is a military leader like Brigadier General Manaf Tlas. Now living in France in a self imposed exile Tlas may be able to take control, unite the countries opposition and assume power if he can match the brass of his former boss.

The Patriots Vs Obama

2012-10-12T17:45:00.001-04:00

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Rebecca Osborn, right, re-enlists during a ceremony on Forward Operating Base Spin Boldak, Afghanistan, Oct. 7, 2012. Osborn, a military police officer, is assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division's 5th Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team.

The nitty-gritty truth, President Obama is an enemy of the United States. No one will admit it, Democrats dismiss criticism as partisan politics, Republicans gloss over it with words like incompetence but the evidence of action all points to Obama aiding and abetting islamist extremists. Wednesday Representative Trey Gowdy was hot, he was on fire about the current administrations actions following the terrorist attack in Benghazi Libya. Watching the video you will see how emotional Congressman Gowdy was. Now he is not the only one expressing outrage at this severe security blunder a bipartisan parade is forming right behind him. Joe Biden in his opening remarks during the Vice Presidential Debate chocked it up the Benghazi blunder to a simple mistake. He was nonchalant about it, pointing his finger at the intelligence community. The vice president is a co-conspirator with Obama and they both belong in jail for undermining the security of the United States.

The Benghazi incident was not the tip of the iceberg but a story that was too big to be ignored. Thursday 10/11, one month to the day (AQAP) al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula killed a security official at the US embassy in Yemen. The news has been slow getting out about this attack partly because the the man that was killed was not an American citizen and the media big boys are still playing defense for the president. The attackers on a motorcycle opened fire on a car carrying Qassem Aqlan, a Yemeni man who headed the embassy security team. The drive-by shooting took place on Siteen street in the center of Sanaa Yemen's capital.

The Yemeni officials that responded to the incident claim that Siteen is one of the safest streets in the capitol. Judging by the photograph their standards are either very low or Sanna is extremely dangerous, both would be accurate statements. The photo also depicts a totally unsecured crime scene with bystanders milling about and contaminating the crime scene. One individual is actually looking into the subject vehicle probably leaving his fingerprints all over it. Mr Aqlan was ambushed by motorcycle gunmen and was shot three times in the head. Clearly he was targeted by AQAP because he worked out of the American embassy as a foreign service officer in the role of national investigator. This murder typifies the AQAP agenda, if you work for the Americans we will kill you at any time, regardless of who you are or what you do.

Monday of the same week Major General Salem Ali Qatan of the Yemeni Army was killed by an al-Qaeda suicide bomber in the city of Aden. The general was working with American advisers that are their to prop up the most recent presidential puppet installed by the Obama Administration, Abdu Rabu Mansour Hadi the former VP. The general was conducting operations in southern Yemen that successfully put down militant uprisings that occurred as a result of the Arab Spring movement that lead to the downfall of the previous American puppet president, Ali Abdullah Saleh.

These types of attacks are commonplace in Yemen, Iraq and Libya and will soon be occurring in Egypt. The fact is that the Obama Administration has been instrumental in the facilitation of the Arab Spring movement as outlined in previous stories in this blog (Egyptian Democracy Imploding!!!). The lead off to that story was a question, “Will the Obama White House implode under the weight of A Middle Eastern scandal?” That question has now been answered with the actions of President Obama.

The “democratization” of Middle Eastern dictatorships has given al-Qaeda a free hand to franchise like McDonald's in countries that previously were ruled with an iron fist. Just like a fast food restaurant chain al-Qaeda sets up shop in areas that they have no penetration, they move in during a security vacuum, establish a foothold and start recruiting. Al-Qaeda has become a management franchise company of sorts, several managers specializing in logistics and planning, weapons, and explosives, training and public relations will team up and form a cell. This cell will find an aria and set up shop recruiting individuals and training them in the disciplines of being a jihadist.

The birthplace of these al-Qaeda managers is the Muslim Brotherhood, the brothers have deep roots in the Middle East going back to the 1930s when the organization was formed to help the Nazis during WWII. This is the same group that President Obama has entertained in the White House and helped get elected to Egypt’s highest office. The Obama Administration’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper spoke in a congressional hearing saying this gem of nonsense. "The term Muslim Brotherhood is an umbrella term for a variety of movements. In the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al-Qaeda as a perversion of Islam." This is not the first time Mr Clapper has deliberately misled congress he has consistently been proven wrong. The administration’s appointed officials consistently claim that someone misspoke or was misinformed or was misunderstood or was not properly briefed, their is always an excuse to deflect the responsibility of their actions. There's just too many of these mistakes, they are not mistakes at all, it is a deliberate diversionary tactic meant to deceive congressional leaders and the American people. Mr Clapper said this as a part of his prepared remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee January 31st 2012. "We do not assess that al Qaeda's new leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri, will change al Qaeda's strategic direction, but most al Qaeda members find Zawahiri's leadership style less compelling than bin Laden's image as a holy man and warrior and will not offer him the deference they gave bin Laden."
Ayman al-Zawahiri issued the fatwa to assault the consulate in Benghazi and kill Ambassador Stevens.

"We judge that al Qaeda's losses are so substantial and its operating environment so restricted that a new group of leaders, even if they could be found, would have difficulty integrating into the organization and compensating for mounting losses."
Mohamad al-Zawahiri organized the demonstrations in Egypt, Yemen, Libya and the rest of the countries that followed the Benghazi assault. He was quoted as saying that "he and his brother are al-Qaeda."

It is time for a group of unappointed American patriots in the American intelligence and security community to come forward through lawyers if need be and blow the whistle on President Obama’s administration. You have to ask your self. What’s next, who will die next? Will it be another assassination attempt or embassy bombing, it could be in the continental US or Europe or even a cruise ship. The general public just doesn't know, after all according to Vice President Biden the security breakdown that happened in Benghazi Libya was the fault of the intelligence community. Highly unlikely Mr VP but It has been established that James Clapper is a collaborator or at the very least a dunce. The men and women in the American armed forces and secret services need to come forward and tell the truth about their commander in chief.

White House on John Brennan’s Trip to Libya

10 October 2012

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
Washington, D.C.
October 10, 2012
Statement by NSC Spokesman Tommy Vietor on John Brennan’s Trip to Libya
Today, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan met with senior Libyan officials, including President Magariaf, in Tripoli. Mr. Brennan, on behalf of President Obama, expressed support for Libya's ongoing government formation and transition to democracy and accepted condolences for the tragic deaths of four Americans in Benghazi last month.

The two sides discussed the continuing investigation into the Benghazi attacks, including specific additional steps Libya can take to better assist the U.S. in ensuring that the perpetrators are brought to justice. Both sides reaffirmed their strong commitment to countering terrorism and violent extremism.

Mr. Brennan encouraged Libyan officials to move quickly on refining their policies and advancing government capabilities in the security and justice sectors, and urged Libya to take full and timely advantage of specific offers of assistance from the United States and other international partners.

Finally, Mr. Brennan reinforced U.S. support and commitment to the Libyan people and their leaders as they undertake the hard work of governance and reform necessary to build a new Libya.
Now that this press release has been distributed, the White House has another scapegoat in the Benghazi blunder.

What has also been discovered is that it took three weeks for the Obama Administration to get FBI investigators to the consulate property in Benghazi. That is the same amount of time it took the Bush Administration to invade Afghanistan after 9/11/2001.

USA Not Ready For Red Line Time

2012-10-02T17:58:00.001-04:00

If, or when Israel hits Iran with sorties taking out its nuclear sites the backlash will definitely affect the United States. The big question for the American people: Is the Obama Administration prepared to deal with the situation? The past being a window into the future one can surmise that that answer is no. When it comes to preparation the Obama team seams to ignore mise en place and react to situations as they happen resulting in lost control and adverse results.

Keeping Iran on short leash will minimize it's bite. Iran has been boasting about its navel prowess lately and they have stated that soon it will have assets roaming the oceans of the world. That navel program must not be able to continue and forcing any Iranian navel assets to stand down that maybe in the Persian Gulf, Straights of Hormuz, the Mediterranean or in Syrian ports. Blockading or sequestering these assets will mitigate Iran's ability to move and retaliate at coalition partners. Iran must not be able to block any shipping lanes or chock points like the Straights of Hormuz or the Suez Canal, this is key in maintaining the worlds flow of commodities in and out of the region, namely oil.

Minimizing Iran's ability to retaliate in the event of a Israeli/US air strike depends on their reediness and castrating it's satellite operations Hamas and Hezbollah is very important. This will take simultaneous and coordinated air strikes knocking out rocket and missile stockpiles. The ability of Syria intervening on behalf of Iran is becoming more remote with each passing day however Iran has stationed 15,000 Republican Guard troops in southern Syria. The civil war in Syria may actually help the situation by bleeding off some of Iran's resources and manpower.
The anticipated escalation of Iran is directly proportional to the assets left behind in the post strike hours and their missile launch capabilities will remain intact unless the strike takes out command and control centers simultaneously. Iran and it's surrogates will retaliate no matter how depleted their capabilities maybe after the initial strike. This why it is imperative advanced pre-strike preparations be complete and comprehensive. This has been a alien concept for the Obama Administration but it is something that the joint chiefs of staff is completely familiar with. One of the big advantages the US now has is the that retired general David Petraeus is now running the CIA. The CIA will be essential in the pre-planing stages as well as the post-strike assessments.

Managing the post-strike politics and the spike in oil prices that will come are a diplomatic nightmare for the Obama White House. So far the international stage has proven to be a no-mans-land for president Obama his consistent inability to manage diplomatic affairs and anticipate the outcome of events in the Middle East has been a hallmark of the administration. President Obama has distanced himself as well as the government from PM Netanyahu and his government since the start of his term. Obama's reluctance to act as a partner with a non-Muslim ally is evident despite his publicly spoken words. Secretary of State Clinton has been working her fingers to the bone but her diplomatic efforts have been undermined by her bosses ineffectiveness and quite frankly Israel has been nothing more than a pit stop on her glob trotting adventures. Perhaps it would better for Israel to sit on their hands till a competent president takes up residence at 1600.

Close to the top of The US to-do-list should be the deployment of an anti-missile defense system at their bases in the gulf region as well as systems going to Israel to augment the Iron Dome capabilities. Also infiltration from the Sinai as well as Gaze, Syria and Lebanon will need to be taken into account by the Israelis. A good choice for supplementing the Israelis would be a Marine Expeditionary Unit parked 100 miles off the shore of Lebanon as a pressure release valve for the IDF. The US needs to do a show of force to the Arab world signaling that if your a friend then your back is covered and a MEU is an effective way to deal with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Israeli embassy car bombing in New Deli
linked to Iran' Quids forces

Iran and their surrogates have tentacles that reach around the world and just because there is a strike in the Middle East does not mean that Iran will sit on their hands and not strike out against the West asymmetrically. European, American and Middle Eastern countries all stand the chance of being targeted by Iran's clandestine Quids force. The CIA and other allied intelligence forces need to start ASAP shadowing Iran's agents. This will send a signal to Iran that there is no wear to turn for revenge and that any attempt at terrorism will be met with the death of their agents. This may or may not preclude Iran from striking out at the West but it may give them pause and give the affected nation some reaction time if an infiltration is detected..

It is important that an operation such as a strike on Iran's nuclear capabilities be complete and comprehensive. It will be imperative that an accurate damage assessment be done quickly and a follow-up strike accomplished as expeditiously as possible. Providing that the proper mise en place had been executed prior to the strike then the entire operation should be over in less than a week. Knowing how regional actors in the Middle East will react to this is something that must be codified in advance certainly any Sunni factions may be more willing to listen than others. A second strike may be needed and mistaken as an escalation into a conflict by Some Islamic countries, this is something that neither the US or Israel wants. The second strike if necessary will take not only information sharing but diplomatic dancing with the devils in Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt. Political fallout from the strike will need to be dealt with in Israel, Europe and in the continental US. Unassociated states like Venezuela may be willing to give safe haven to Quids force operatives on their way to the US through the Mexican border and Homeland Security needs to be up o that task. Also internally a threat will exist from any radical Shia factions within the US and the FBI must be on top of that threat as well.

Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense systems (THAADS)

Prime Minister Netanyahu has given Iran a promise not an ultimatum at the UN this past week. The “Red Line Speech” was memorable and notable. There is no question about how the PM feels about Iran's intentions. President Obama fell short of declaring a point of no return for Iran but he did state that a nuclear Iran would “threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations and the stability of the global economy.” Both Leaders spoke to their own countries in an attempt to shore up their international positions with their voting blocs. But Netanyahu defiantly upstaged Obama with his visual aids. Netanyahu did not state a time line along with his red line but previously he hinted at an Israeli air strike that would coincide with the US presidential elections. Taking the chart into consideration most speculate that Netanyahu has shifted his time line to late spring or early summer of 2013. This date may in fact be significant, he maybe gambling on his collage buddy Mitt Romney. This new date also gives any new administration a chance to ramp up efforts to dissuade Iran and to make preparations if they can not.

During the time between October 2012 and June 2013 back channel communications directed at Tehran reiterating the fact that any aggressive action taken against Israeli/US property or citizens will be dealt with swiftly and with overwhelming force. The time can also be used to conduct a threat assessment to embassies and consulates so another Benghazi style attack will not end with more dead Americans. The CIA needs to work closely with the Mossad in the Middle East identifying operatives of Iran and it's satellite operations. The CIA, FBI the Mexicans and the Canadians also need to communicate and ID individuals that may be traveling to North America and undermine any operations that they are involved in and may pose a security risk.

Now that Joint Mine clearing operations have been completed in the Straights of Hormuz and are clear of Iranian mines the Middle East is saturated with US military forces, far to many to list hear. Needless to say if the president wanted a target hit in Iran within the hour it would be done with out breaking a sweat. The ability for Israel or the US to strike multiple targets within Iran at any given time is not the issue. The problem comes in when Iran retaliates with what could be a massive launch of missiles and rockets from multiple locations and countries.

As far as oil prices spiking as a result of the strike that will happen but only due to market forces driving the price up. Iran's capability and willingness to block the Straights of Hormuz is just not their. Any attempt at doing so would be economic suicide for the country. Millions of barrels of Iranian oil flow out of the straights each week and hundreds of tuns of food and commodities flow back in. Iran is their own worst enemy in this regard and if real sanctions were to be placed on Iran then the US could easily bring the country to its knees by prohibiting Iranian shipping into or out of the straights.

An Air strike on the “secret” enrichment facilities is a foregone conclusion for several reasons. The negotiations that have taken place over the year have amounted to nothing. The Iranians believe that a strike will not happen because they accept the idea that the Americans do not have the stomach for it. They also believe that their missile capability is a deterrent to any strike that Israel and the West may launch against them. Therefor they concluded that they can act with impunity and speak with arrogance during the UN General Assembly. The truth of the matter is when it comes to international policy President Obama is incapable of balancing force with his impelling desire to appease the Muslim world.

Keeping Iran's henchmen out of the fight that will likely ensue after an Israeli or American air strike will be impossible. Hezbollah is said to have 50,000 rockets at their disposal. Recently Hezbollah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah fired up a crowd in Beirut over the Islamic video “Innocence of Muslims” he stated that “The world should know that our anger is not a passing thing. ... This is the start of a serious campaign that must continue all over the Muslim world in defense of the prophet of God.” The militants half a million strong Chanted “Death to Israel...Death to America”. Keeping these people contained will be a significant task. If Nasrallah orders his supporters to rush the border they will gladly run into the breach armed with rocks, sticks, pitchforks anything that they can get their hands on. The resulting blood bath will bring serious international condemnation against Israel.

Hezbollah has gone to ground in southern Lebanon after the 2006 war that lasted about a month. During that conflict the kill ratio favored the Israelis 10/1 with Hezbollah firing about 4000 rockets. Since then southern Lebanon has become pockmarked with 550 bunkers, 300 monitoring sites and hundreds of weapons storage facilities. There are about 270 complexes known as “rocket villages” and they are located near hospitals, private homes and schools making air strikes against them controversial even for Western smart bomb technology. One of the clearest signals to send to Nasrallah is cutting off his cash. Hezbollah and Hamas are operating fund razing enterprises in North and south America, Europe, Australia and Indonesia. The CIA, MI6 and the Mossad working together and clandestinely need to root out these organizations and terminate them with extreme umbrage. Many of these operations function illegally as drug and human traffickers or at the minimum in the margins of the law through bogus fronts like charities.

Political willingness in the Obama Administration for any kind of pre-strike preparations is unlikely based on past performance. The build up of forces and precautions like the ones outlined hear will probably not take place. Leaving Prime Minister Netanyahu twisting in the wind will be a PR nightmare for the Obama administration but that is what is likely to happen. It will be a clear acknowledgment that president Obama is blind to the evil in the harts of the Islamic leadership opposed to the nation of Israel. This will not only be unforgivable to the people of Israel but it will be unforgivable for the American and European people as well. There are two choices hear, Iran has nukes and holds the world hostage or they do not. If your president fails to acknowledge this as a grave danger then he has no right being a president. If a president fails to act on any pre-strike precautions then he is nothing more than a fool. If a president is not prepared to act decisively in this international chess game and take out some pawns and knights before going after the queen then he has no business on the worlds stage.

The Arab Spring A Celebration of Jihad

2012-09-21T00:10:00.003-04:00

The Lie
Frat Boy Jay Carney the mouthpiece for President Obama conducted a presser aboard Air Force One 9/12/12 he was asked this question “Does the White House believe that the attack in Benghazi was planned and premeditated?” The responce by Frat Boy “It's too early for us to make that judgment. I think -- I know that this is being investigated, and we're working with the Libyan government to investigate the incident. So I would not want to speculate on that at this time.” So the day after the terrorist attack on the consulate in Benghazi Libya there is no coment on the situation. Two days later Frat Boy was asked this question by Jake Tapper of ABC News ---- “that the anniversary of 9-11 would be a time when you would want to have extra security around diplomats and military posts?” The astonishing response by Frat Boy was “Well, as you know, there, we, are very vigilant around anniversaries like 9-11. The president is always briefed and brought up to speed on the precautions being taken. But let’s be clear. This, these protests, were in reaction to a video that had spread to the region. We don’t know otherwise. You know, we have no information to suggest that it was a pre-planned…attack.” WTF Frat Boy!!!

Two days later on Sunday UN ambassador Susan Rice who has no real authority, she is just a feckless bureaucrat that sits in the UN sniffing the farts from 180 other feckless bureaucrats from all over the world, took to the Sunday morning talk show circuit. Rice reiterated emphatically the White House line to David Gregory the host of NBC Meet The Press “What happened in Benghazi was in fact initially a spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired hours before in Cairo, almost a copycat of the demonstrations against our facility in Cairo, prompted by the video,” Rice went unchallenged by Gregory and she expanded on her previous statement “Opportunistic extremist elements came to the consulate as this was unfolding, they came with heavy weapons, which unfortunately are readily available in post-revolutionary Libya, and it escalated into a much more violent episode.” That is one of the stupidest most naive statements ever made by a pseudo government official.

The Obama Administration is obsessed with deceiving the American people, they have to because it is the only way for them to keep their job. Incompetence in the White House is at epidemic proportions. Their current attempt to cover up for their inadequacies in the Middle East is one of the many parallels to the Carter Administration that they are desperately trying to avoid. What the American people need to do is open their eyes and see Obama for the magician that he is. Obama and his appointees have all been reading from the same script, it was the movie that caused all the problems.

Someone did not get that memo! Wednesday 9/19/12, Counter-terrorism Director Matt Olsen was asked his opinion of the events in Libya by Senator Joe Lieberman and the senator got what he was looking for, an honest man willing to go off the reservation. Olsen admitted that the Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans “Were killed in the course of a terrorist attack.” Meanwhile back at the White House Frat Boy is parroting the party line that their was no terrorists attacking our consulate it was just over zealous demonstrators that just happened to have RPGs in their back pockets. Finally Thursday 9/20/12 Frat Boy announced to reporters aboard Air Force One that it was “SELF EVIDENT” that the attack on the Benghazi consulate was an act of terrorism. We have come full circle and forced the White House Butt Plugs to fess-up.

Actionable intelligence
These statement are now set in stone, “the Internet never forgets” is a rule that the White House should have learned by now. When digging into this story it is important to know the players involved in the scheme and their motivations. The White House lies all hinge on the internet video “Innocence Of Muslims” if this is true then we would have had prior knowledge of the attacks from radical Islamic leaders. Events such as this just do not happen without direction from one of their misguided leaders. In fact there was several edicts issued by Islamists one being Ayman al-Zawahri but it had nothing to do with the video. Understanding the words of the cryptic terrorist are not that important but the timing of the statement and the subject is. al-Zawahiri's statement was posted to islamic websites on September 10th and it was in part a eulogy to the terrorist known as Abu Yahya al-Libi. In the video al-Zawahri uses al-Libi’s birth name of (Hasan Mohamad) what makes this significant is the fact that al-Libi was from Darnah Libya and trained terrorists at Benghazi training camps. Simply the release of the video referencing al-Libi meant that the assassination plot was a go. Terror cells train for different operations at different times just like the military, they plan, they conduct intelligence and train. In this case for the assassination of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the subsequent murders of three other staff. The plot to kill Stevens may have been in the works since June of 2012 when al-Libi was killed by a US drone strike in Waziristan.

The video released September 10,2012 by al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
“I celebrate with the Islamic nation, the holy warriors, the prince of the faithful Mullah Omar and the Muslims and jihadist in Libya the news of the martyrdom of libya's lion the scholler, the leader, Sheikh Hasan Mohamad {Abu Yahya al-Libi} May god have mercy on him. The lion has now gone to martyrdom people will flock even more to his writings and call, Allah willing”

Along with the video statement by Ayman al-Zawahiri which not only implicates al-Qaeda in the crime, at the same time the statement impugns the the Obama Administration's assertion that some half baked video was to blame for what they deemed to be a “spontaneous demonstration that turned violent.”

A Homeland Security document unearthed by Catherine Herridge of Fox News details facts that the Cairo demonstration was a planned event as well and that the armature internet video was not the cause of the vitriol against the United States. Herridge points out that information became available to the Obama administration indicating the Cairo Embassy was going to assaulted. DHS found that statements by an “unknown individual” posted on Islamic websites called for the uprising denouncing the US and demanding the release of the “blind sheikh” Omar Abdel-Rahman the perpetrator of the WTC bombing in 1993. The statement was issued September 9th one day prior to Ayman al-Zawahiri’s video statement and two days prior to the embassy assault.

“The time has come for a strong movement from you, O sons of Egypt, to release the detained shaikh Let your slogan be: No to the American embassy in Egypt until our detained sheikh is released, Starting now, let the faithful among you form follow-up committees in charge of taking the necessary measures to force America to release the sheikh -- even if it requires burning it down with everyone in it.”

Now there's hard evidence that the Obama Administration had in their possession actionable intelligence that they failed to act on. By ignoring this information President Obama indirectly aided and abetted the Cairo embassy attackers and the terrorists that killed four Americans and a dozen Libyans at the Benghazi consulate.

The conspiracy
When looking for a common denominator between the Benghazi and Cairo events it is clear that al-Qaeda played a part in both events. It is also clear that the Muslim Brotherhood played a part, we also have the Zawahiri link. Back in June of 2012, then President-elect Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood spoke to tens of thousands of supporters in Tahrir Square. During his speech Morsi said “I see signs for Omar Abdel Rahman and detainee’s pictures, It is my duty and I will make all efforts to have them free, including Omar Abdel Rahman.” The detainees that he was referring to are what he considers political prisoners jailed by the Egyptian military. One of those prisoners was Muhammad al-Zawahiri (MAZ) the brother of al-Qaeda's top terror dog Ayman al-Zawahiri (AAZ). The “unknown individual” responsible for the internet posting that was sited in the DHS report exposed by Catherine Herridge was in all probability a Muslim Brotherhood operative working in consort with MAZ.

9/10/2012 The day before the Cairo rioting broke out (AAZ) issued his video statement giving the go-ahead to Abu Sufyan bin Qomu the leader of Ansar al-Sharia the al-Qeada offshoot that assaulted the Benghazi consulate. Also on that day MAZ was doing an interview with Nic Robertson of CNN. During the interview MAZ was described by Robertson as an old man that was “calm, collected, focused and utterly convinced by long held views examined, tested and re-forged in incarceration.” The interview outlined a proposal and an offer by MAZ to be a mediator between Radical Islamists and the West. His plan is nothing more than a list of demands, “U.S. and West to stop intervening in Muslim lands. U.S. to stop interfering in Muslim education. U.S. to end the war on Islam. U.S. to release all Islamist prisoners.” The next day MAZ was spotted in the crowd of protesters with a bullhorn directing the rioters to storm the embassy, climb the walls, rip down the american flag and hoist up the al-Qaeda flag. During the CNN interview MAZ described himself as “ideologically inseparable” from his brother AAZ, and that “if anyone can talk his brother out of violence it's him.” But in an Al Jazeera interview in August MAZ stated that “he is al-Qaeda” obviously he portrays himself differently when speaking to western media. His true colors came out in front of the embassy when he was inciting the riot.

Since the fall of the Gaddafi regime several new Jihadist groups have surfaced and due to their availability of weapons many fighters have abandoned the once powerful Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG). These new groups have engaged in the political process by way of violence and have aligned themselves with al Qaeda. They are seeking to enact Sharia law in Libya and form a separatist state allowing a safe haven for al-Qaeda. The dominant group that has emerged is Ansar al-Sharia (AAS) from Tunisia. The leader of AAS Mohammad Zahavi has set up shop in Benghazi and Darna recruiting fighters sympathetic to his cause one of those is a former prisoner from Guantanamo Bay Cuba Abu Sufyan bin Qomu (ASBQ). This man was transferred from Gitmo into Libyan custody with the caveat that he not be released. The transfer took place in 2007 and he was detained till 2010 when he was released for reasons unknown. ASBQ has been instrumental in the startup of many al-Qaeda splinter groups one known as Supporters of Sharia in Derna (SSD) this group may actually be a battalion of the AAS operating under the al-Qaeda proper umbrella. This is the group investigators believe is responsible for carrying out the assassination strike on the US consulate in Benghazi. It is doubtful that ASBQ was an actual participant in the strike. His involvement would have been in the planning and the jihadist training for the operation. Other splinter battalions have taken on the names of martyred and imprisoned al-Qaeda jihadists such as the former leader of the Egyptian Islamic fighting Group and WTC bomber Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, al-Qaeda's number two man and chief propagandist Abu Yahya al-Libi and Abu Abdul Rahman a Canadian Iraqi that was nicknamed “the gift of God”.

ASBQ is definitely an upward mobile figure in the Libyan Sharia jihadist movement in June of 2012 he had organized a sort of convention for jihadists in Benghazi and thousands attended his party. He has been instrumental in recruiting teenage men and boys that have made their al-Qaeda bones by destroying mosques and Sufi graves. ASBQ has also been involved in the grenade and RPG attack on the Red Cross facility in Misrata last August, forcing the end to their humanitarian aid. The Red Cross has since halted all operations in Misrata and Benghazi. in June of 2012 an IED was thrown at the perimeter gate of the Consulate in Benghazi in an attempt to test the reaction of security forces. A few days later the British ambassador's motorcade came under attack by a rocket-propelled grenades and Two security personnel were injured. Seven days later armed gunmen attacked the Tunisian consulate and burned its flag. All these attacks can be attributed to one or more of the jihad brigades set up by ASBQ. It is time for the White House and the rest of the world to extricate their collective craniums from their accumulated anuses and recognize that the Arab Spring was not such a swell idea.

White House And Jihadists Lie To further Agenda

2012-09-18T14:17:00.001-04:00

The American people are at war with their own president. It is now clearer now than ever before that the Obama Administration is looking the American people in the eye and lying. What could they be thinking when they send UN Ambassador Susan Rice out on the Sunday morning talk show circuit to lie about the events that have exploded in Muslim countries around the world. Rice has been justifying the actions against US property and it’s citizens throughout Muslim countries as a reaction to the obscure internet video “Innocence Of Muslims”.

Rice: “We are of the view that this is not a expression of hostilities, in the broader view of that toward the United States or American policy. But a reaction to the video that had nothing to do with the United states, which we find disgusting and reprehensible.”

If this is true then why have we not heard from Muslim groups within the United States. The group CAIR has always been the first to call out any “disgusting and reprehensible” activities against the Muslim community so why have they been so quiet? Well they must have received a call from the White House. 9/12/12 In a prepared statement, CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad on Capitol Hill in Washington shared several instances of Mohammad turning the other cheek. In the news conference he also said

"We agree with Secretary Clinton, who said that 'violence like this is no way to honor religion or faith.' The extremists who carried out these attacks deserve punishment, and the extremists who produced and promoted an intentionally inflammatory film deserve condemnation.”

In conclusion Awad capped off his statement with this "We must not let extremists control the political or religious discourse. That means that people of all beliefs should repudiate those who would commit acts of violence in response to intentional provocations and repudiate those whose only goal is offending religious sentiments."

So according to CAIR extremists made the video with intent to anger the Muslim world, why would anyone do that? Awad follows the White House line that the assassination of Ambassador Stevens was carried out by extremists in retaliation for the video. Did he watch the video? Has he realized that the attack was on 9/11 and that protesters invoked the name of Osama Bin Laden. I find it interesting that the CIAR statement follows the irrational thinking coming out of the Obama Administration. So far everyone that has been commenting on the video has not described any extreme or radical anti-Islamic view that the video expresses. Well i did watch a bit of the video and i found it quite funny.

The United States has many people from many places in the world that have many customs. The cornerstone of freedom in the United States is the ability for an individual to do, say and express their opinion. Without this constitutional right this blog and many others would not be possible. How many people around the world have the ability to openly criticize their government and the officials that make serious blunders affecting millions of people in their country and around the world.

The Obama propaganda machine is spreading their lies like soft smelly manure through the national media in an attempt to obscure the truth about the shortcomings of the White House. The president along with Valerie Jarrett David Axelrod Tom Donilon hillary clinton and the pipsqueek to the UN Susan Rice have all conspired in pulling the wool over the eyes of America. These anti-American socialists have failed in their attempt to “Fundamentally change America” their views and actions have resulted in so many failures that that are too many to recount. This international slap in the face by the people of the Muslim faith is a reaction to official US government policy of scorched earth and screw. President Obama refuses to recognize this and the current lies that are being spread about the death of Ambassador Stevens in Libya are an attempt at deceiving the American people that he has failed as a unifying factor in the Middle East, the opposite is true. The demonstrations, protests and riots are being generated by Islamic Extremists such as Muhammad al-Zawahiri and Hassan Nasrallah are using the video as an excuse to voice their hatred of all things American. In this case it is the constitutional right to free speech and freedom of expression.

In an interview conducted by Leland Vittert of Fox News al-Zawahiri admitted that he has not seen the video but if the Egyptian people did see it then the protests would be much worse.

al-Zawahiri: “I read about the movie. It’s merely the title. It’s refused by us. If the Egyptian people saw this movie, the protests would explode.”

Nasrallah: "worst attack ever on Islam". "America must understand ... the US must understand that releasing the entire film will have dangerous, very dangerous, repercussions around the world,"

A Salafist Egyptian cleric, Ahmad Fouad Ashoush issued a fatwa against the cast and crew of the video "Innocence of Muslims". These fatwas are nothing more than an amusing empty threat by most Americans after all we are free to do what we want when we want. The video that is the catalyst for the hatred that so many Muslims have toward the United States is just incomprehensible to most Americans because we have seen it all on film, that includes movies like “The Last Temptation Of Christ”.

Ashoush: "I issue a fatwa and call on the Muslim youth in America and Europe to do this duty, which is to kill the director, the producer and the actors and everyone who helped and promoted the film," "Those bastards who did this film are belligerent disbelievers," "So, hurry, hurry, O Muslim youth in America and Europe, and teach those filthy lowly ones a lesson that all the monkeys and pigs in America and Europe will understand. May Allah guide you and grant you success."

So what is next, what will be the next spark that triggers the indignation of the Muslim world. Perhaps the violence and political unrest in countries like Iraq and Syria should be at the forefront of these clerics agendia. Perhaps the poverty and starvation in Egypt and Sudan should be the subject of their protests. Maybe a government confrontation about corruption and the theft of public money and resources by military and political leaders should be their focus. No that won't happen because they are in the business of hate and division. Fueling that hate by the use of an internet video keeps the Islamic extremists relevant and that is all they care about. American politicians are the same way. President Barack Obama thought that just by his mere presence and by speaking a few words he will save the world. The problem is his words are meaningless and his actions are detrimental, so he and his people must lie, accuse others, blame the previous administration and offer the excuse that it will take more time. Obama is just like Zawahiri, Ashoush and Nasrallah their all spreading manure just a different brand.

Ambassador Assassination.

2012-09-14T10:28:00.000-04:00

The American Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens may have been assassinated by al-Qaeda as retribution for the killing of Osama Bin Leiden. Mr Stevens was described as a dedicated public servant and he did his job well. According to the State department, Mr Stevens “made regular and frequent trips to Benghazi to check on developments in the east.” a routine that may have contributed to the attack on September 11th,2012. In a telephonic interview with Fox News the stepfather of Mr Stevens commented that Chris did his job fearlessly and thought that traveling throughout Libya was as safe as going from his home in East Bay Hills California to Oakland. Mr Stevens according to his stepfather may have had a “false sense of security”, apparently he trusted the Libyan people. The Ambassador had good relations with the Gaddafi government as well as the revolting elements that overthrow Gaddafi and are now in political power.

The consulate in Benghazi has been described by the State Department as “an interim facility” that was acquired before the revolution and the demise of the Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. The complex consists of a main building, several ancillary buildings, and an annex some distance from the main building. Because the facility was not built from the ground up and temporary, security upgrades had not been done. This is evident by the ease that the assaulting force gained access and the condition of the windows and doors shown in news video and photographs.

It has been reported that the assaulting force consisted of twenty men armed with automatic rifles and rocket propelled grenade launchers. They attacked in a complex and coordinated military fashion. This is evidence of a pre-planned operation and not a spontaneous uprising generated by an obscure internet video.

The timeline of the attack as detailed by a state department official.

"At about 4 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time yesterday, which was about 10 p.m. in Libya, the compound ... in Benghazi began taking fire from unidentified Libyan extremists. By about 4:15 p.m. attackers gained access to the compound and began firing into the main building, setting it on fire," she said, "and the Libyan guard force and mission security personnel responded."

At the time, three people were inside the building -- Ambassador Stevens, a regional security officer, and Smith -- and while trying to evacuate they became separated by heavy, dark smoke.

"The regional security officer made it outside and then he and other security personnel returned into the burning building in an attempt to rescue Chris and Sean," the official said.

They found Smith, who had died, and pulled him from the building. They were unable to locate Stevens before fire, smoke and small-arms fire drove them from the building, the official said.

"At about 4:45 p.m. Washington time, U.S. security personnel assigned to the mission annex tried to regain the main building but that group also took heavy fire and had to return to the mission annex," the official said.

"At about 5:20 p.m.," she added, "Libyan security personnel made another attempt and that time were able to regain and secure the main building."

The rest of the staff were evacuated to the nearby annex, which itself came under fire at around 6 p.m. Washington time and continued under fire for about two hours, she said.

{ The annex referred to hear is a villa about a mile away and inside the grounds of the city's equestrian club. This was to be their fall back point or safe house. The location was compromised and the firefight followed them.}

During that ongoing attack, the official said, two more U.S. personnel were killed and two more were wounded.
At about 8:30 p.m. Washington time, or 2 a.m. in Libya, Libyan security forces helped regain control of the situation, she said.

"At some point in all of this, and frankly we do not know when, we believe that Ambassador Stevens got out of the building and was taken to a hospital in Benghazi," she said, adding, "We do not have any information about his condition at that time. His body was later returned to U.S. personnel at the Benghazi airport."

In a press conferance by the Libyan ambassador to the United States Ali Suleiman Aujali commented that Mr Stevens was a close friend of his and that the two played tennis togather as well as visting each other's homes.

"It is a sad day in my life. I knew Chris personally. He's my tennis partner. He comes to my house. We have breakfast together. I've known him for more than six years. He may be the first American diplomat to [have arrived] in Tripoli ... after the revolution. He's very welcomed by the people. He visited the Libyans. He [ate] with them. He [sat] with them,"

These statements by the stepfather of Mr Stevens, the State Department and Ambassador Aujali are both telling and troubling.

Stevens had a false sense of security
Stevens trusted the Libyans
Stevens had a relationship with both the Gaddafi regime and the revolutionary forces
Stevens made regular and frequent trips to Benghazi
The consulate complex was a temporary facility
The safe house location was compromised

These bullet points amount to a total security breakdown in a country still in turmoil after a major civil war that was waged between fanatical Islamists and a blood thirsty dictatorship. Ambassador Stevens should have had a security detail with him at all times and he may have, Travel only when necessary, refrain from personal interactions with the general public and have a full contingent of Marines guarding the Benghazi facility. The evidence in the statements by the State Department and others describe Ambassador Stevens as a soft target in a volatile country full of radical religious extremists. By the their own statements they implicate themselves and describe the US government as incompetent for the security of the diplomatic mission.

Two of the four men that were killed during the 4 1/2 hour fire fight were ex Navy SEALs working as security contractors, one was trained as a sniper the other as a combat nurse and paramedic. These two individuals were extremely capable and died defending their country heroically but there comes a time in every firefight when ammo runs out and if it takes over four hours for reinforcements to come you're pretty much screwed. NBC news has reported that the two SEALs Tyrone S. Woods and Glen A. Doherty were providing security for Ambassador Stevens.

Investigators have four individuals under arrest in Libya and they have announced the the group responsible for the attack is Ansar al Sharia (AAS). The name means "Supporters of Islamic law" U.S. officials describe the group as a subset of al Qaeda. Wanis el-Sharef, eastern Libya's deputy interior minister has volunteered more details on the attack some of which indicate serious security breaches.

El-Sharef said the attack in Benghazi was timed to mark the 9/11 anniversary and that the terror group AAS recruited protesters to demonstrate outside of the consulate using the anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” as their justification for the rioting. Using the crowd as cover for their action the AAS came over the walls and assaulted the compound.

The following is el-Sharef’s account of the events that took place last Tuesday night as reported by the Associated Press, he also commented that “Infiltrators within the security forces may have tipped off militants to the safe house location.” When reading this account keep in mind it is being reported by the AP and it is the opinion of a Libyan official.

The crowd built at the consulate - a one-story villa surrounded by a large garden in an upscale Benghazi neighborhood - in several stages, he said. First, a small group of gunmen arrived, then a crowd of civilians angry over the film. Later, heavily armed men with armored vehicles, some with rocket-propelled grenades, joined, swelling the numbers to more than 200.

The gunmen fired into the air outside the consulate. Libyan security guarding the site pulled out because they were too few. "We thought there was no way for the protesters to storm the compound, which had fortified walls," he said.

El-Sharef said Libyan security advised the Americans to evacuate at that point, but he says the advice was ignored. There was shooting in the air from inside the consulate compound, he said.

At this point, he said, the crowd stormed the compound. The consulate was looted and burned, while plainclothes security men were sent to evacuate the personnel.

Stevens, he said, is likely to have died of asphyxiation following a grenade explosion that started a fire, el-Sharef said. Ziad Abu Zeid, a Libyan doctor to whom Stevens' body was taken, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the 52-year-old Stevens died of asphyxiation.

U.S. officials have said attackers broke into the main consulate building at around 10:15 p.m. and set the compound on fire. Amid the evacuation, Stevens became separated from others, and staffers and security that tried to find him were forced to flee by flames, smoke and gunfire. After an hour, according to U.S. officials, U.S. and Libyan officials drove the attackers from the consulate.

The next attack came hours later. Around 30 American staffers along with Libyans had been evacuated to the safe house while a plane arrived from Tripoli with a joint U.S.-Libyan security group that was to fly them back to the capital, el-Sharef said.

El-Sharef said the original plan was for a separate Libyan security unit to escort the evacuees to the airport. Instead, the joint unit went from the airport to the safe house, possibly because they were under the impression they were dealing with a hostage situation, he said. The militant attack coincided with the joint team's arrival at the safe house, he said.

That the attackers knew the safe house's location suggests a "spy" inside the security forces tipped off the militants, he said.
One of five private security guards at the consulate said the surprise attack began around 9:30 p.m. when several grenades that were lobbed over the outer wall exploded in the compound and bullets rained down.

The guard was wounded in the left leg from shrapnel. He said he was lying on the ground, bleeding and in excruciating pain when a bearded gunman came down the wall and shot him twice in the right leg, screaming: "You infidel, you are defending infidels!"

"Later, someone asked me who I was. I said I was the gardener and then I passed out. I woke up in hospital," said the guard, who spoke to The Associated Press from his bed at a Benghazi hospital. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared reprisals and reprimands from his employers.

U.S. officials have not confirmed the account. They have spoken of an attack on the consulate's annex that killed two Americans, but said their report on the incident was still preliminary.

Questions that need to be answered.

Was Stevens under surveillance by the AAS, if so for how long?
Was Stevens assassinated to revenge the killing of Osama Bin Leiden?
Why was the consulate so understaffed with security?
Why did Libyan security abandon their post and not call for reinforcements?
Are the demonstrations in Benghazi and Cairo linked and is AAS the common denominator?
What is the Muslim Brotherhood’s role in the demonstrations?
Was their a mole inside the embassy in Tripoli or Benghazi funneling information to the AAS?
Did any of the American private security officers travel with stevens?
Was Stevens still alive on the consulate grounds or when he was being transported to the doctor that pronounced him dead by asphyxiation?
Who found Stevens and how did he get him to the doctor?
Why was the physical security of the buildings not upgraded with security doors,gates and windows prior to any US occupation?
Was there any indication that this attack was being planned?
What is the State Department’s SOP for 9/11, was their any chatter about an attack?
Who knew of the safe house and who compromised the safe house location?
Was Stevens singled out for assassination by the AAS if so was Ayman al-Zawahiri the one that gave that order.

ACT OF WAR, Over A Movie?

2012-09-12T14:44:00.002-04:00

Movie trailer of "Innocence of Muslims"

The events in Cairo Egypt and Benghazi Libya are an act of war no matter what the excuse the extremists have or what President Obama says what this is, is WAR.


	Libyan civilians help US ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, at the US consulate compound in Benghazi

9/12/12 Secretary of state Hillary Clinton said in a televised news conference "this is a senseless attack". Clinton also confirmed that four Americans have been killed at the embassy in Benghazi Libya. Wearing her emotions on her sleeve she confirmed that information specialist Sean Smith and ambassador Chris Stevens were murdered during the attack. The Secretary did not speculate but pontificated the words. "How could this happen in a city that we helped save from a tyrant". Mrs Clinton continued her comments by saying that, "some Libyans helped fighting back the crowd of extremists and some were injured during the struggle." She also promised that their will be retaliation against those responsible for the murder of her friends. She also went on to say that religion is no excuse for the taking a human lives during the small and savage assault on the American embassy.

The very young extremist that invaded the Egyptian embassy pass the flag to the crowd for desecration.

The problem hear is that the Obama White house has still not come to grips with the idea that we are at war with a religious ideology. These attacks in Cairo and Egypt underscore that fact. One of the English speaking extremists was demonstrating his ignorance in front of a news crew in Benghazi he was ranting about his irrational justification of the violence. Paraphrasing, he said that if Americans make fun of their profit then this is what they get. they get killed.

Frightened Egyptian security outside US embassy

The crowds in Cairo shouted "Obama we are hear to sacrifice for Osama" as they rioted and climbed the walls of the embassy. They ripped down the stars and stripes and raised a flag that looks very similar to the al-Qaeda flag that reads "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" Was this really about the low budget movie "Innocence of Muslims" or was it more about the fact that it was the eleventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the American people.

Gunman in the embassy compound in Benghazi.

Make no mistake about it these fanatics attacked sovereign American territory, killed American people and destroyed American property. This is an act of war and needs to be treated as such. If in fact these attacks are a response to a movie on YouTube then why did it take so long for that response, the movie was dubbed into Arabic and shown on television in Egypt during July. So why now? These islamist extremists in the Middle East regardless of the country are mentally deficient and incapable of rational thought process. It is Obvious that one of their many terrorist Muslim clerics organised these strikes against America. Their is no coincidence that this happened on 9/11 and their is no coincidence that this happened in Egypt or Libya two countries that the Obama White House has been handing out financial support to and in the case of Libya weapons for them to realize their democratic objectives. This has come full circle now. should we be surprised when the zoo keeper opens the door to the cage and feeds the lion then the lion bits the hand that feeds him.

Embassy residence on fire

Rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire riddled the embassy in Benghazi the buildings where ransacked and set on fire. Vehicles that embassy officials used were attacked and the staff was killed trying to escape the assault. The day after the attack the embassy compound is littered with burning debris and burnt vehicles. It is very possible that this is just the beginning of a wave of violence that will involve Americans overseas. The leaders of theses mentally deficient extremist have finally realized that the Obama Administration will not retaliate and they are willing to take full advantage of it.

Cars and buildings burning after RPG attack

The local governments in Libya as well as Egypt had full knowledge of the attacks and they did nothing to stop it or to alert the Americans. Security has been increased in Cairo but during the attacks Egyptian security was conspicuously absent. Security forces in Libya also laid back as the attacks went on in Benghazi it was not till the assault was winding down when they moved in, by then it was to late and fore people were murdered. Americans should not look for the instigators and trigger men of theses attacks to be brought to justice any time soon. The Obama administration is completely focused on their reelection campaign and the governments of the Muslim countries lack the enthusiastic for bringing anyone that they consider jihadists.

9/12/12 The news agency CNN is reporting that Mohamed al-Zawahiri the brother of Ayman al Zawahiri was one of the organizers in Cairo that plained the protest.

"We called for the peaceful protest joined by different Islamic factions including the Islamicc Jihad (and the) Hazem Abu Ismael movement."
"We were surprised to see the big numbers show up, including the soccer Ultra fans," he said. "I just want to say, how would the Americans feel if films insulting leading Christian figures like the pope or historical figures like Abraham Lincoln were produced?"

Two days before on 9/10/12 in an exclusive report CNN interviewed MAZ who had been locked up in a Egyptian prison for 14 years on charges of terrorism and being a conspirator in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. The interviewer (Nic Robertson) described Zawahiri like this.

"He is like so many former prisoners I've met -- calm, collected, focused and utterly convinced by long held views examined, tested and re-forged in incarceration."

" As the al Qaeda leader's brother, he says they are ideologically inseparable, and that if anyone can talk his brother out of violence it's him."

Mr al-Zawahiri i would like to remind yo that the Pope of the Catholic Church is a pacifist and President Abram Lincoln freed the slaves. These are two thing that you obviously know nothing about. You belong back in solitary confinement along with your brother.

The U.S. point man on Iraq is AWOL

2012-09-11T11:05:00.000-04:00

Looks like Joe Biden has not won President Troll's vote with his chick on dirty Joes lap , good thing he is an ordained minster.

Vice President Joe Biden was yucking it up last Sunday with a biker chick in a Ohio dinner wile back in Iraq coordinated bomb strikes killed 100 people and the Iraqi vice president was sentenced to death in a one day trial. Less than one year after American troops leave the country Iraq is once again a meat grinder. The attacks can be traced to al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) and the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) these Sunni Muslim terror groups are willing to kill on the drop of a hat and in many cases it seams as though they are working in consort. Both AQI and ISI seam to have predetermined targets that have been assigned to individual bombers and shooters. A location may be chosen for political reasons an embassy for example or a site maybe chosen for body count like a shopping center. In the event a situation or event happens that AQI leadership dislikes then a target or a series of targets on their ready list is chosen and the attacks are carried out at a chosen time. This violence on Sunday was triggered by the Trial outcome of Iraq's vice president. VP Tareq al-Hashemi was tried in absentia and found guilty of terror charges. The one day trial was carried out by a panel of Shite judges that have loyalties to Prime Minister al-Maliki.

Last Sunday was just an other example of sectarian violence that has become common place in Iraq. Or was it? The country of Iraq is being torn apart by it's own people the Kurds in their northern semi-autonomous state, the Sunni and Shia factions in the rest of the country are all feuding. The U.S. point man Vice President Biden was scheduled to go to Iraq by the White House last June. The trip was an attempt to smooth over any discontent within the Iraqi political machine but he was rebuffed by Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. Various reasons have been given why Biden was rejected but sources inside Iraq have come out and said that al-Maliki has had enough of the Obama Administration and they will do what they want, when they want. This is evident in the actions of both sides.

The snubbing of Biden was not just another example of Obama's failed Foreign Policy but an international middle finger pocked in it's eye. President Obama said that the Iraqi power sharing agreement that “he” had renegotiated is a milestone.

“This agreement marks another milestone in the history of modern Iraq. Once again, Iraqis are showing their determination to unify Iraq and build its future and that those impulses are far stronger than those who want Iraq to descend into sectarian war and terror.”

President Obama really has no clue and theses statements made at the G20 in Seoul where meant to silence his detractors at home that have been critical of his administrations efforts on the international stage. Looking back at the check book diplomacy that Sectary of State Hillary Clinton has called “21st century statesmanship” one can deduce that it has not worked in Iraq, poring money into a failed state only accomplishes corruption and dependency. Today Iraq is a failed state with a dysfunctional government and a civil war followed by a coup is not out of the question. There is a bright spot in Iraq, it is home to the worlds third largest oil reserve and money is not the problem, the problem is simple, things like two hours of electricity a day, clean drinking water, affordable food and housing.

“The United States has worked closely with our Iraqi partners to promote a broad-based government -- one whose leaders share a commitment to serving all Iraqis as equal citizens. Now, Iraq's leaders must finish the job of forming their government so that they can meet the challenges that a diverse coalition will inevitably face. And going forward, we will support the Iraqi people as they strengthen their democracy, resolve political disputes, resettle those displaced by war, and build ties of commerce and cooperation with the United States, the region and the world.”

Regardless of what Obama and Biden do or say to or about the Iraqi government the current leadership in Baghdad will do exactly what they want, after all they have F.U. Oil money. Days after American troops drove across the the Iraqi border to Kuwait PM al-Maliki suspended the agreement that President Obama was promoting at the G20 and issued an arrest warrant for his Vice President, called for the ouster of one of the three deputy prime ministers and threatened the Kurds. Saleh al-Mutlak the deputy pm on al-Maliki's enemies list has denounced the current government from the start. Since the first week of assuming his position he has not accepted the way the parliament functions and has wanted to help the country create a more “workable” government. He has also described al-Maliki as a “dictator” and blaming him for the increasing marginalization of the Sunni based voting bloc known as Al Iraqiya.

Aftermath of explosion outside of French consular building in Nassiriya

There is a huge opportunity in Iraq for engineering firms, architectural firms, oil companies, bulk shipping concerns and construction companies of all types. It will take a bit of time but dragging the country out of the nineteenth century and into the twenty first is something that the country needs. The Obama Administration cannot provide these perks no matter how hard they try because they are incapable of getting out of the way of private business at home or abroad. What the country of Iraq lacks is advise on financing, infrastructure development and city planning. Perhaps the government of Iraq should look to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait to see what their future could look like if they are able to leverage their oil profits properly.

What is occurring in Iraq now is 90 degrees opposite of what President Obama was patting himself on the back for in Seoul during the 2010 G20 summit. If the events in Iraq are a measure of the Obama/Biden success abroad then he gets an “F” on that report card. During speeches at last weeks DNC Obama and his brown nosing surrogates degraded presidential candidate Mitt Romney for his lack of international diplomacy, but did not sight any of Obama's accomplishments. So far political pundits have refrained from calling out the White House on their international ineptness and Iraq is clearly Obama's Achilles heel. As for the point man well he will be getting lap dances and bar hopping throughout the mid west promoting the highlights of the Obama White House by reminding anyone he sees that “Osama Bin Leiden is dead and General Motors is alive.”

Syria: Russia Runs Out, Iran Rushes In

2012-09-03T22:17:00.001-04:00

Port of Tartus

The Middle Eastern chess game continues and there are many players. Recent events have become more evident of a big picture event is about to happen. Russia pulls it's Mediterranean Navel contingent out of the port of Tartus. The Russians have spent years and millions of rubles modernizing and rehabilitating their Tartus port facility that was actuality mothballed after the fall of the Soviet Union. Just when Russia was about to finalize the ports five year renovation they pull out and announce that weapons and military support for Bashar al-Assad's military effort has been curtailed.

Quds Forces with very outdated German rifles

Iran has recently confirmed that Quds forces have boots on the Syrian soil. This is something that Syrian opposition forces have known since hostilities broke out seventeen months ago. Most reports state that the Iranian commander of Iran’s elite Quds Force, Qassem Suleimani “slipped up” during an interview with Teheran’s ISNA news agency by stating that his forces are assisting the Syrian forces. It is hard to believe that a “disciplined” military commander would make a comment like that if it was not meant for public consumption. According to some reports the Quds Force will be setting up at least one military base near the capital Damascus that will house 15,000 elite soldiers, who operated in Iraq and other wars. The force will be reportedly in charge of training Hamas and Hezbollah operatives as well as Syrian forces to deal with opposition fighters that have been giving al-Assad a pain in his al-ass. Of course this base can be used as a staging point for a cross border attack and possibly the preparation for an assault on Israel.

Israel has been preparing the civilian population of a nation wide missile attack. The construction of bomb shelters, the issuing of gas masks and the testing of a early warning system that sends text messages to cell phones in the event of a missile attack. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has fortified its border defenses along the northern frontier by the addition of mine fields, reinforcing fencing and adding additional razor wire. The IDF also has completed a Multi Sensory System (MSS) along the border with Lebanon. The system integrates electronic censors, cameras and radars in the most advanced combat intelligence gathering system known in the defense industry today. Clearly the Jewish state is anticipating a problem unfortunately this problem may be a multi-prong event coming from many directions.

Israeli border with new fencing

The Egyptian Sinai Peninsula is becoming a larger problem for Israel. al-Qaida terror elements have killed sixteen border guards August 5. In response the defense minister and head of the armed forces, General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi launched a security force to root out the militants. During the operation the Egyptians captured 23 and killed 11 terrorists however the Egyptian security force consisted of troops in 11 Bradley armored personnel carriers and the Camp David Peace Accords prohibits the use of mechanized forces in the Sinai. Israels PM Netanyahu called Egyptian President Morsy to remind him of that fact and by September 29th the 11 Bradleys were loaded onto flatbed trucks on their way back to their base. Since President Hosni Mubarak was booted out of office the al-Qaida terrorists have been responsible for many infrastructure and border attacks. The current operation yielded many small arms, rockets, missiles and explosives.

Turkey has not escaped the terror threat either Kurdish militants have been crossing into Turkey from Iran and Syria for attacks on civilian and government targets. Known as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) established itself in 1978 as a Marxist Communist group looking to found it's own state. They have carved out a portion of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria claiming the territory to be their ancestral homeland. Currently the PKK have been on a mission to disrupt the Turks during the Syrian uprising. With funding and intelligence from Iran and Syria the PKK has launched large scale attacks within Turkey. Sunday 9/2/12 about 20 PKK terrorists attacked a Turkish security complex at Beytussebap 40 kilometers from the Iraqi border Government forces lost 9 solders in the skirmish and all 20 of the PKK attackers were killed. Last month 10 people including civilians were killed in a car bomb attack blamed on the separatist Kurds in the southeastern city of Gaziantep which caused national outrage. The Turkish government had launched a large-scale military offensive against the PKK on July 23 that it said early last month had killed a total of 115 PKK militants. In one of the deadliest recent single incidents, fighting in June between Turkish soldiers and Kurdish rebels killed 28 people after an attack by PKK members on an army post near the Iraqi border.

Damage after the bombing in Al-Bab

The actions and rhetoric have ramped up to the point of out and out threats. Special fortified hospital facilities have been dusted off in Israel. The Americans have deployed medical facilities to Jordan, Turkey and Israel that specialize in Bio/Chemical warfare injuries. Syrian air force jets and helicopters strike indiscriminately in populated arias as the the ratio of dead noncombatants to opposition solders bear this out. 9/3/12 a building was bombed in Al-Bab not far from the Turkish border killing 18 noncombatants. The day before Syrian warplanes bombed towns in various locations killing a total of 132 people 96 noncombatants, 9 opposition fighters and 27 Syrian regular army soldiers. For the first time the strategy of carpet bombing has been employed in the Syrian town of Azaz, more than 80 noncombatants were killed and 150 wounded. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claim that 5,000 people have been killed across Syria in August and at least 26,283 people have been killed in Syria since the revolt began in March last year. The numbers reflect the the governments rules of engagement, that is to kill with out discrimination, The Observatories breakdown of the dead is “18,695 civilians, 1,079 defectors and 6,509 troops.” President al-Assad also warned his counterparts in Ankara through back channels that if any more Turkish FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles were supplied to the oposition forces, he would arm 2,500 PKK Kurdish terrorist fighters with Russian SA-8 anti-air missiles and let them loose along the Syrian-Turkish border for use against Turkey.

So the Russians got out wile the getting was good and the Iranians got in to form a suicide pact with the al-Assad government. If in fact Syria is invaded Iran will attack Israel and if Iran's nuclear facilities are attacked Syria will attack Israel. It seams as though the suspected attacking forces are willing to wait out the Syrian situation. With proxy forces fighting the Sunni-Shite ideological battle and the opposition forces infiltrating the government forces supported by American intelligence sources Iran will find themselves standing alone and al-Assad dead. The wild card is of course is the WMD stock piles.

In the event that al-Assad does meet his 72 virgins the country will completely fall under the control of Iran leaving Hamas and Hezbollah with a free hand to operate within Lebanon and Syria. At that point all bets are off and coalition forces that are staged in the surrounding countries will deploy their fast attack special forces to secure and eventually destroy the WMD stock piles. However cleaning up the Islamic extremists that have come for their pound of flesh will complicate an already complicated situation.

Syria: Total Destruction Imminent.

2012-08-30T08:28:00.000-04:00

The situation in Syria is no longer an Issue between Bashar al Assad and the people of Syria but A Sunni-Shiite gang fight with regional implications. This fight in Syria has taken a new turn. The Syrian civil uprisings that ballooned into government protests has escalated into a civil war and will not be like the Crips and the Bloods trading bullets in Compton but a battle of religious zealots bent on total cleansing of the opposition. No cops or restrictions to hinder the carnage and no UN peace keepers to document atrocities, the only government intervention will be that of Iran and Syria backing the Shiite side and the US, UK and the Saudis backing the Sunnis via proxy.

The Americans have been supplying weapons through the countries of Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the Iranians have been supplying light and heavy weapons purchased from Russia to the al-Assad government since the conflict started. Iran just this week (8/28/12) admitted publicly that fighters have been dispatched to Syria to fight on behalf of Bashar al-Assad's forces. Gen. Salar Abnoush, commander of the IRGC’s Saheb al-Amr unit, spoke to a group of army volunteers that Iran is currently sending commanders and foot soldiers from its elite corps to fight in “every aspect of the war in Syria, military and cultural.” This was the first time that a Iranian government official admitted to Iran’s military involvement in the Syrian conflict, all claims of Iran's intervention have been denied up until this point.

US Sectary of State Hillary Clinton repeatedly denies supplying weapons to the anti-government fighters, however she will admit to “humanitarian assistance”. The assistance is now widely known to be state of the art communications equipment, night vision equipment and clandestine surveillance through drown and satellite intelligence. There is no reason NOT to believe that special forces or spies??? from many countries are sprinkled throughout the region. Countries with any interest in the MANA region will include the US, UK, Israel, France, Jordan, Turkey, Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. All these countries have a financial and strategic interest in the aria weather it is oil and gas, domestic security or the suppression of terror franchises like Hamas, Hezbollah or al-Qaida. Clinton is pushing for direct military intervention. First she is advocating a no-fly zone in the north bordering Turkey. Second is boots on the ground to secure the bio/chem weapons. In the event that al Assad's WMDs are employed by government forces, in danger of being compromised by an outside force like al-Qaida or the stockpiles moved for any reason all security council members agree that intervention is necessary. Right now with the Russians having a force in place it would seam that they would be the most likely force to take control of the weapons.

As far as the no-fly zone strategy Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta said that while such a step is under study, it is “not on the front burner.” Well Mr Panetta needs to have a conversation with his french counterpart Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian as he seams to be real keen on the idea. The problem with restricting Syria's airspace is that several steps will have to come into play. First a strike on the air defenses will be necessary, second a strike on the Syrian airfields crippling the air force's capability to put planes in the air. Third, one and two are acts of war and the president will need congressional approval for a operation that invades a countries sovereign territory. If the congress gives consent then it is a 100% certainty that Iran will retaliate against any American assets in the region as well as Israel. The Russians don't think it is a real swift idea either. Sergei Lavrov the Russian Foreign Minister stated that any action like a no-fly zone in Syria is unacceptable to his country "This will be a violation of sovereignty if it included Syrian territory," Lavrov implying that the implementation of such a unilateral action would violate international law. As far as the bio/chem weapons are concerned the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov said that his government was working closely with Damascus to ensure that its WMD's remains under firm control. Gatilov reports that he has received guarantees that the stockpiles will not be used or relocated.

Since the Russians and Chinese refuse to cast a vote in favor of any military intervention in Syria the UN security council has their hands tied. Since any UN sanctioned military force is not possible due to the two decenters, than why not a proxy war? Seams like a good idea, right! Islamic extremists from all over the expansive AFPAC/MENA aria are flocking to Syria to take up arms against their reviled Muslim rivals. The hatred between the Sunnis and Shiites gos back to 680 A.D. When Hussein (a Shiite), found himself surrounded by a larger Ummayad force (Sunnis) at Karbala, in present day Iraq. With only a handful of supporters to defend him, Hussein and 72 of his men were captured and beheaded, and their women taken captive. The battle was the defining moment in the split between Sunnis and Shiites. These folks really know how to hold a grudge! Iran is 90% Shia and has 15 thousand troops on root to the fight, the Syrian leadership is predominately Alawite a Shia offshoot and the Syrian Sunni solders are still going AWOL. The unified countries of the security council decided to exploit the rift between the two sides and give them the opportunity and the guns to wipe each other out on the Syrian field of battle.

This strategy has been done before, the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 with the aim to reinforce the communist government structure that had been set up by an Afghan general who was killed in a coup the previous year. Radical Islamic fighters struck out against the invading Soviets and bogged down the red army for years. The CIA looking to take advantage of the situation started to funnel money and weapons into the hands of the Afghan resistance fighters known as the Mujaheddin. The CIA working through the Pakistani government supplied modern weapons like American Stinger missiles, Chines AK-47 rifles, grenade launchers and anti-tank weapons. The Mujaheddin morphed into the Taliban and Osama Bin Leiden’s al-Qaida. The CIA achieved their goal of forcing the soviet Union into a financially week position through the war. The Soviet/Afghan war was a leading contributor to the fall of the Soviet Union. How ever indirectly the CIA also contributed to the growth and propagation of modern terrorism and the ascension of Osama Bin Leiden as it's titular commander.

The proxy war effort that is being organized in Syria is a very dangerous situation. At some point their must be an intervention by a nation state that is capable of disposing of the WMD hazard that was created by the Syrian government. If at any point these weapons become accessible to the radical Islamic extremists it is anybody’s guess where they will end up being used, and they will be used.

With Iran increasing their military presents in Syria things will escalate and the death toll will rise sharply. Even though 200 thousand Syrians have fled the country millions remain and the radical zealots mixing among the population will directly and indirectly involve the average citizen in this gang fight creating a massive amount of collateral death and destruction.

When Afghans Attack

2012-08-23T15:27:00.000-04:00

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, right, and U.S. Army Lt. Gen. James L. Terry, commander of the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command, talk in Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012.

Back in the good-ol' cold war days the U.S. military and clandestine services were focused on eradicating the red threat. Analysts studied the moves and motives of communist leaders to better understand and predict their actions in given situations. The military conducted war games designed to provoke Communist leaders, to test their warning systems and military reactions. CIA spooks would plant disinformation through legitimate journalistic outlets and gather human intelligence by infiltration of the targeted governments. U.S. presidents like Kennedy and Reagan would talk trash about their Communist counterparts and take a stand against the expansion of the red threat into the western way of life.

Yes those were the good-ol' days when their was a clear cut enemy and both sides had well defined agendas and philosophies that directly opposed each other. Is that still the case today? Well some say no! Many say that geopolitics has become far to complicated to whittle it down to a “us vs them strategy”, not so fast Buck-O; it is---that simple. There is a clear cut, well defined and well organized enemy that threatens western society and global security. This enemy is far more despicable than the Nazis, infinitely more expansionist than the Roman empire and exponentially more blood thirsty than the Mongols, They are the radical Muslims and Islamist extremists. What makes this adversary so dangerous is that they have infiltrated every country and are currently in the process of undermining western governments and societies. They do this through deception and taking advantage of a free society that upholds the right to practice religion freely and openly.

Combating this foe on a global scale has proven to be extremely difficult because no country other than Israel is willing to take a stand against the islamicidal cult of depravity. The U.S. and other nonsectarian nations of the world must first recognize that the enemy exists and then recognize it for what it is, evil, just that simple. The current path of thinking is that not all Muslims are terrorists and that Islam is a peaceful religion, their just happens to be a few bad apples in the barrel. What has proven to be true is that one bad apple does in fact spoil the bunch, we are witnessing that every day in the AFPAC and MENA theaters of operation. Bloodthirsty Islamic barbarians kill, torture and maim on a daily basis to justify their existence in the eyes of Allah.

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, travels aboard a CH-47 helicopter from Bagram to Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012, to meet with leaders from the Internation Security Assistance Force, U.S. Central Command, U.S. State Department and the Afghan military.

The Arab Spring did bring about hope and change for the people in the MENA region but the hopeful was the Islamist barbarians that seek sectarian cleansing through jihad. The change came in the form of overthrowing the national leadership of many countries and facilitating the takeover by Muslim extremists (Muslim Brotherhood). These countries will soon be state sponsors of terror, some new like Egypt, some old, like Libya and the Islamicide will continue and will flourish.

The U.S. and Western allies spent the last 10+ years fighting the war on terror and have not come to grips with the fact that the Taliban, al-Qaida and their Islamic off-shoots are not politically motivated like the Communists of the past but are ideologically driven by a twisted religious zealotry. When the U.S. invaded Iraq Saddam Hussein was identified as evil personified, and he was, however what the West did not identify was the evil that Saddam had stifled at gunpoint. It was said that once the Iraqi people were rid of Saddam the people of Iraq will rejoice in their new found freedom and embrace Jeffersonian Democracy. Well fast forward to 2012 Iraq is under control of Iraqi leadership and corruption has swept through the country like a plague. The security forces are in shambles and al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI) is carrying out bombings at will with no remorse. In letters captured from Osama Bin Laiden, OBL describes AQI as despicable and with out regard for the lives of their Muslim brothers and sisters. In short Iraq is a mess and the current Shia government is flirting with Iran's Mullahs.

U.S. Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Marine Corps Gen. James N. Mattis, commander of U.S. Central Command, and U.S. Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of U.S. and international forces in Afghanistan, talk in Kabul, Afghanistan, Aug. 20, 2012.

A similar situation is happening in Afghanistan but it is far worse. Corruption and cronyism is a way of life as in any Muslim community and a country based on the Islamic religion government corruption is a way of life. Afghanistan is no exception to that rule. Unfortunately the source of this corrupt money pit is the American government, a good example of this is the Dawood national military hospital in Kabul Afghanistan. Whistle-blowers testifying in front of congress stated that doctors and nurses routinely withhold food, medicine and medical care from patients that do not pay up. It was also reported that despite millions of dollars allocated for building maintenance and modernization the hospital is in deplorable condition as they put it "Auschwitz-like". Blood, fices and urine cover the floors, patients die from infections and malnutrition, family members are forced to take care of their wounded kin folk because they can not afford to bribe the doctors and nurses for treatment. The Afghan Surgeon General, Gen. Yaftali and the MoD’s Director of Finance, Major General Amiri, embezzled $20 million from the MoD and pilfered $153 million worth of medical supplies intended for patients at the hospital and Afghan National Army (ANA) troops in the field. Both Yaftali and Amiri are directly connected to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

They are not leaders in the sense that we think of officers. They steal their soldiers’ pay, medicine, food, fuel, bullets and blankets and sell them on the black market. The Taliban and al-Qaida turn around and buy these supplies with the proceeds from opium and heroine. The Officers use U.S. taxpayer supplied vehicles and aircraft to further their own business interests over the well being of their armed forces or nation. The ANA soldiers in turn go AWOL at official rates close to 30%, in actuality the figure is closer to 40% in early 2011. Out of the ANA troops that remain in the service 70 to 80 percent are stoned on hash regardless of their duty status.

The Afghan people are bitter because they think the American system has failed them, the truth is it is the corruption of the Afghan government, President Karzai has failed them. The “green on blue” attacks that have been carried out by previously vetted Afghan personnel are retribution for the injustice that these people are living through every day and will be experiencing well after the Americans are gone. Public statements by The chairman of the Joint Chiefs, General Martin Dempsey are week and full of hollow reassurance. The general arrived at Bagram Airbase on August 19th he advised reporters that traveled with him aboard his C-17 aircraft that he was their for meetings with coalition and Afghan leaders. One of the topics the general will discuss is the recent green on blue attacks that were carried out by Afghan security forces and have killed 10 international troops, mostly Americans, in the past two weeks. In the latest incident Sunday, a person wearing an Afghan police uniform shot and killed a coalition service member. At least 39 international coalition members have been killed in such attacks this year.

During the visit, Dempsey held meetings at the highest coalition levels – Marine Corps Gen. John Allen, commander of NATO forces in the AFPAC theater, and Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis, commander of U.S. Central Command. The chairman also met with Army Lt. Gen. James Terry, the commander of the corps command. General Dempsey also held meetings with his counterpart, Afghan Army Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi.

Provincial leaders, elders and representatives from nearby Forward Operating Base Rushmore attended the shura.

Dempsey said he was pleased that Afghan President Hamid Karzai strongly spoke out against these attacks. “The president speaking on it was tremendously important, and I hope it permeates to the lowest levels of the Afghan government and military,” he said. “We speak out about it, and we take measures to mitigate the risk.”But the more Afghan leaders speak out about this, “the better off we will be,” Dempsey said. Coalition and Afghan leaders are looking at the vetting process for Afghan soldiers and police. “We’ve had an eight-step vetting process in place in earnest for about a year, but we haven’t turned the corner on it,” he said.

This is wonderful but the root cause of the problem is that the ANA rank and file is extremely low paid, under equipped, poorly fed and inadequately housed. The Afghan forces have been throne under the tank by their own leadership. These guys come from small villages and hamlets and have been promised a better life by enlisting into service for their country. At the time of their enlistment they probably had a vision of being part of something important and a way out of the subsistence life that their family has been scratching out for generations.

The broken system that is in place in Afghanistan is one of the reasons for these attacks. The disadvantaged Afghan grunts are poorly educated Muslims (only 14% can read and write) and are easy manipulated. They were convinced that their participation in the security forces would be beneficial for them and their families, it has proven not to be the case in their eyes. After their enlistment the grunts become a target for the Taliban. The Taliban turns the solder against his command structure with the food and supplies that the solder was to get but was pilfered and sold on the black market by the ANA elite. The Americans have invited these lightly vetted persons into their base for training and giving them access to weapons and information. The very thing that the Taliban is in need of.

The plane that General Dempsey arrived in on the 19th was hit by rocket fire wile parked at Bagram airbase on the 21st. Wile their was no one on board the C-17 it took information from an insider to hit the symbolic target. The Taliban has infiltrated Bagram and other bases with operatives and they report to the Taliban on village raids, troop movements, and supply distribution points. The green on blue insider attacks are not limited to a single solder taking aim at his American trainer but clandestine activities that culminate in downed helicopters and patrol ambushes. What it comes down to is trust, the Muslim can not be trusted. Islam teaches that anything you do to further the Islamic world caliphate is acceptable. To further exacerbate the problem of insurgent infiltration is that the less a person has the easier it is to corrupt them and these people have nothing. To make matters even worse is that the ANA solder sees his wounded compatriots mistreated and uncared for. Ultimately they see themselves as expendable cannon fatter on the wrong side of their Islamic culture. The Taliban sees these foot solders as low hanging fruit ripe for the picking, they are easily turned and radicalized for the price of a few bags of rice and a chicken.

Barack Begs Bubba's Bone

2012-08-07T19:53:00.000-04:00

The economic outlook is so bad for the Obama Administration that he needs a hired gun to come to Charlotte and shoot sunshine up Democratic skirts. Can retired President Bill “Bubba” Clinton bail out the boobs in the White House? It's a hard sell, even for the DNC golden boy to justify the green energy policy, failed stimulus package, GM bail-out, Dodd-Frank banking restrictions, the never ending welfare commitments, the illegal alien preferences, etc,etc,etc. That is a lot of hurtling for Bubba to do even in an Olympic year.

Not so-much sunshine their but being the consummate politician President Bubba may harken back to yesteryear and tout his own economic accomplishments. He may try to convince the throngs of reluctant Demos that a vote for Obama is like a vote for him. Not so sure that will work and not so sure that the “good-ol-boy” from Arkansas will want to boost Obama's booty over the finish line ahead of mild mannered Mitt. In 2008 when it was Bubba's lil-Missy vs Barack's union backed money machine the mud slinging was fierce and Hillary Clinton got dam dirty in that fight. I am not so sure that Bubba and the good-ol-boys have forgotten those slings and arrows.

The truth is that the U.S. economy was much stronger and more robust than it is today. That prosperity was good for the moral in the country we were working and we were happy. The unemployment rate for blacks under Clinton was 10% and dropped slightly to 9% in the Bush 43 years but President Obama promising cradle to grave subsistence to Black people has managed to drive the unemployment rate for Black people to 16%. The Hispanic unemployment rate under president Clinton was at an astonishing 5% and now President Obama has managed to yank that number to 11%. To compensate for that 11% the Obama Administration is advertising on Spanish speaking radio espousing the benefits of the food stamp program. Dirt-poor young Mexicans are now taking their chances crossing the desert looking for a hand out from Obama's stash. They enter the US knowing that all they have to say if caught is “I'm a dreamer and I go to school”. Bingo, their in like Flynn, the Border Patrol and ICE have turned them loose to be in compliance with Obama's executive order or risk loosing their jobs. Soon the Border Patrol will be following the Vultures in the desert sky so they can locate the dead that did not make it through the waste lands of Americas Southwest. Then the liberal ACLU finger pointing will start but instead of blaming the lure of the dream act they will blame the fisherman for catching the fish dead or alive.

Mexican children that have snuck across the US border unaccompanied.
30,000 such children are found each year.

If the Democrats want to reminisce about days gone by then maybe we could go all the way back to 1929 and the stock market bubble. The crash of 2008 and the crash of 1929 were both caused by banks giving loans that had no way of being paid back. In 1929 the loans were were authorized by bankers using inflated stock as collateral. In 2008 loans that were insured by FannieMae and Freddie Mac that were granted years before started to default. The loans were granted with no documentation because of government regulations that forced lenders to approve bowerers that did not have the down payment collateral or equity to balance the banks risk. In 2008 when the housing bubble burst and the “No Doc” loans became larger than the value of the properties people just walked away from their homes. Both depressions came about because of under-capitalization and artificial inflation rates of home and stock prices that rose far faster than wadges.

What also happened in 1929 was the massive drought that hit the Midwest turning productive farmland into a dust bowl forcing food shortages and farm repositions all across the farm belt. People used their last dollar to run from the dust and travel to coastal arias of the country looking for work, some joined the military if they were lucky enough to get accepted. Raw food and grain prices increased and wages fell dramatically forcing many into desperate measures. Young people from their teens to their 20s turned to crime as a way to help feed their families. Bitter with the taste of bankers foreclosing on the family farm bank robbery was a means of revenge as well as income. Thanks to the governments radification of the 14th amendment many folks in the Midwest went into smuggling alcohol from Canada into the United States. The young people by forming a relationship with the Chicago gangs gave rise to the American Mafia, the people survived and made money or died trying. In the later years of prohibition moonshiners in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states were firmly entrenched and production was high and they were in need of drivers willing to face off against the ATF aka "the revenewers". Rum-runners in converted cabin cruisers ran liquor from the Caribbean and Mexico up north to Texas, Louisiana, Florida and along both the East and West coasts all this activity made some people like the Kennedy family very wealthy very fast. Crime was the only game in town for a lot of undereducated people and the chance at grabbing the big bucks was to much to resist.

Joe Kennedy.s rum-runner the Marlin

Now as then the United States faces many of the same problems. Reports of murder suicides since 2008 have become common place. Illicit drugs have replaced bootleg alcohol and the modern day rum-runners are now Mexican drug cartels that funnel cocaine into the country from all points south of the border. Bank robberies in California seam to be an every day occurrence. Serial robbers have struck so often they have been given names like “Plain Jane”, “Bare Arm Bandit” and the “Snowboarder Bandit”, not quite as colorful as “Baby Face Nelson” or “Bonny and Clyde” but just as threatening. The high unemployment and the wide division of wealth has now given rise to an undocumented underclass of Americans living in the streets. These people have dropped off the radar and are no longer counted in the reported unemployment statistics these unaccounted for Americans are highly susceptible to being both the recipient and the perpetrators of crime and violence in today’s society. Like in the past, people full of rage and frustration and with their backs up-against the wall feel they have no other means of generating income so they turn to crime. The root of the problem is the lack of money circulating in society caused by bloated government agencies that have repressed entrepreneurs by over regulation and excessive taxation. The business owners feel as though they have no other recourse but to leave the government regulations behind and leave the country for greener less regulated pastures.

Bonnie and Clyde

President Bubba was lucky that his turn at bat came at a time of contentment, America was experiencing a lull in violence and the general population prospered. The current president has only fuled the fires of discontent in the country and the next president will be right in the middle of a social and economic civil war that will grip the country and cut across all social strata. This violent period is unavoidable and no past or current political leader will be able to stave it off unless they come to grips with the underlying causes. The next eight years in the United States will be fought with violence coming from factions within as well as from outside the country's borders. The initial wave of anti-social behavior will come from the Black and Hispanic minority communities out of the frustration of broken promises made by the Obama Administration. This will happen regardless of President Obama,s success in the the 2012 elections. If President Obama is reelected the continuation of his current policies will hasten the social civil war and white supremacist groups will strengthen and their ranks will swell with disaffected poor white folks. Mexicans will be streaming across the southern border overwhelming law enforcement, the drug cartels will be warring over territory in the streets of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California. Hidden within the Mexican numbers Iranian sponsored Islamists will infiltrate under the radar and seek shelter among the current Muslim populations. Black folks that have been lied to for years will take to the streets and march, the demonstrations will begin peacefully but will turn violent when their demands are unable to be resolved politically. Natural disasters such as the drought in the Midwest, flooding in the East and the wildfires in the West will cause a spike in food prices and will motivate more people to turn to violent behavior. Social media will be used to organize flash mobs that overwhelm shopping centers for the purpose of stealing food, clothing and prescription drugs. In the event of a category 4 or 5 hurricane the federal government will become overwhelmed, with disaster relief that is already stretched from the 2012 tornado outbreak that ravaged the the country from Texas to Illinois. People in the effected arias will be left with unresolved infrastructure problems and anarchy will ensue leaving millions of people in Katrina like austerity for years. Currently FEMA is underfunded by $5 billion and infrastructure projects in the New Orleans are still on hold due to lack of funding.

The only hope in situations such as these is a stable state government with their own competent emergency management organization. Florida is a perfect example of this. In 2005 Governor Jeb Bush created The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF). Prior to the creation of the fund Florida was hit with four hurricanes in just one month and a total of eight hurricanes and three tropical storms in the previous14 months. Governor Bush admitted that both the State of Florida and FEMA had mismanaged the disaster relief efforts in the past and he stepped up to the plate and took the blame for it. Bush vowed that it would never happen again, henceforth the FHCF was created. An audit conducted by the firm KPMG for the fiscal year 2011 that ended June 30 citified that the FHCF has over $10.8 billion in assets.

Athens police during a riot over government benefit cutbacks

The cause and effects of the Obama Administration's political ideology can not be immediately identified and must not be apparent to the populous for them to be properly duped, they can not be, because of the backlash that radical change creates. The Presidents programs are rolled out incrementally and during each step of the process a wave of propaganda lies floods through the society. Case in point is the current Obama healthcare commercials that constantly taught the plains advantages and not the ramifications of it's implementation such as higher taxes, limitations on medical care and federal government control over your life. President Bubba will not short circuit the Obama 2012 campaign but it is doubtful that he will endorse it enthusiastically at the convention. His participation at the DNC will be out loyalty to the party and his message will be one of unification and democratic principals, NOT one of radical ideology that he knows is bankrupting the nation and dividing America by race, social status and cultural backgrounds.

Rioting in Athens Greece

In order to avoid the perfect storm of social and financial collapse that is underway we must vote for non-politicians. Encourage private sector entrepreneurs to engage in politics so as to reduce the expanding government and expand the shrinking private sector work force. If we do not do this then In the years to come we will be facing a civil war waged between radical socialist Democrats, who’s policies include the nationalization of industries. These collectivists ideals as promoted by the Obama Administration and the big labor leaders if allowed to be implemented will implode the country under the weight of an expanding government and unfunded pension obligations. Fighting against this the nation must support the self reliant business people and the non-union workers that support them. The country has yet to see the worst of it. Regardless of the election outcome we are in for a bumpy ride but if the American people do not come to their senses and think practically we will be up Shits Creek with out a paddle. Shits Creek is in Greece, the Potomac flows through Bull Run, that's near Washington.

Soft War: Attack Of The Geeks

2012-07-26T22:23:00.000-04:00

The cyber slap attack continues, Iran gets "Thunderstruck." Now that the Obama White House has spilled the beans on the U.S. clandestine cyber sniping program on Iran's nuclear program. It should be no surprise that the program continues to harass the scientists at Iran’s Natanz and Fordo nuclear enrichment facilities. The Iraian News agency FARS is reporting that their nuclear program has been attacked recently by a virus they are calling “Duqu”. FARS reports that the “Duqu” malwere has both elements of the “Stuxnet” and “Flame” viruses that were unleashed on them previously.

Iran's Minister of Communication and Information Technology Reza Taqipour who was the official speaking publicly disclosed that their geeks have “thwarted” the recent attack and an other official warned that America will have its “teeth knocked out” if the attacks continue.

"It seems there is a close relation to the Stuxnet and Duqu targeted attacks," the statement said, adding that the malware's "propagation methods, complexity level, precise targeting and superb functionality" were reminiscent of the Stuxnet and Duqu cyber threats to which Iran had also fallen victim.
Stuxnet was designed to damage Iran's nuclear sites, specially Natanz uranium enrichment facility. Duqu, like Flame, was apparently built for espionage but shared characteristics with Stuxnet.

The new worm has targeted the "automation network" at the Natanz and Fordo facilities and has shut them down. The Internet security site F-Secure Security Labs reported that a scientist from Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. Sent them an email stating that a virus has taken over the computer network and is blaring the song “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC.

F-Secure is a Finnish maker of security and cloud software and said that while it was unable to verify the details of the attack described, it had confirmed that the scientist who reported them was sending and receiving the e-mails from within Iran's Atomic Energy Organization.

Iran's nuclear program and oil facilities have been the target of repeated cyber attacks and apparently it is getting old in Tehran because they have issued ultimatums. Iran's Foreign Ministry said in May that these cyber attacks were launched by hostile governments as part of a broader "soft war" then in June the White House admitted to it!

Iran accuses the U.S. and Israel of trying to sabotage its technological progress with financial sanctions, oil and gas embargoes and cyber attacks. Both countries say Iran's nuclear activities may have military intent, an allegation that Iran denies. However Iran does admit to using their enrichment facilities to produce fuel rods for nuclear submarines and surface warships that they have yet to acquire or build.

The Iranian scientist reached out to F Secure with this email.

Over the weekend, I received a series of emails from Iran. They were sent by a scientist working at the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI).
He wrote:

A translation of the email by F Secure

I am writing you to inform you that our nuclear program has once again been compromised and attacked by a new worm with exploits which have shut down our automation network at Natanz and another facility Fordo near Qom. According to the email our cyber experts sent to our teams, they believe a hacker tool Metasploit was used. The hackers had access to our VPN. The automation network and Siemens hardware were attacked and shut down. I only know very little about these cyber issues as I am scientist not a computer expert.
There was also some music playing randomly on several of the workstations during the middle of the night with the volume maxed out. I believe it was playing 'Thunderstruck' by AC/DC.

Comment from F Secure
I'm not sure what to think about this. We can't confirm any of the details. However, we can confirm that the researcher was sending and receiving emails from within the AEOI.

Comments in reference to the Iranian email post very interesting

Invasion of the Bible Snatchers

2012-07-26T14:27:00.000-04:00

Faster than speeding bullshit. More powerful than a loco motive. Able to leap from Indonesia to Occidental in a single bound. Look up in the sky, it's a solar panel,... it's a windmill,...NO it's, A Left wing, it's...Barry Soetoroman Yes it's Soetoroman, strange visitor from Kenya, who came to Washington with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal congressmen and who became President. Soetoroman, who can change the course of mighty capitalism, bend the truth in his bare hands, and who disguised as Barack Obama, mild-mannered orator for a great military superpower, fights a never-ending battle for untruths, social justice and the Muslim way!

Fortunately for the American people we have Wonder Woman, aka Micheal Bachmann. The honorable congresswoman from Minnesota has taken on the persona of front-woman in the fight for truth, justice and the American way. Mrs. “B” has gone on the attack and has placed the Obama Administration directly in the cross-hairs. The congresswoman has shined the light on the White House and the close associations the Obama Administration has with the Muslim Brotherhood. These associations have been criticized by bloggers for some time but it has taken a louder voice, the voice of a political leader for the American media establishment to sit up and take notice. Those in the blogosphere must be frustrated by the lack of viral-ness that their stories have garnered regarding the infiltration of the Muslim menace into the halls of Washington political power. Mrs. “B” along with other lawmakers have authored letters to several government agencies asking questions regarding the overt cozy-ness of the Obama Administration with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The snot-nosed nambe-pambe RINOs and Dems that have referenced the letters authored by Mrs "B" have recently in the media commented and have done so blindly. Without reading and by commenting on various inquiries within the letters that she has made with the vairous Inspectors General is just nonsensical.

Speaker of the House John Boehner said during his Thursday briefing that he hadn't seen the letters Mrs “B” and four other conservative lawmakers sent to the Inspectors General of the five federal agencies warning that the Muslim Brotherhood may be infiltrating the U.S. government. The Speaker was asked about the question raised in the letter regarding the vetting process of Hillary Clinton's top aid Huma Abedin

"From everything that I do know of [Abedin], she has a sterling character and I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous," he said.

Senator John McCain stood up in front of congress and lied about the content of the letters Mrs “B” has authored and have posted on her website. The senator began his statements by proclaiming that Huma Abedin is a “friend” of his. Therefor his opinions maybe some what bias.

“Recently it has been alleged that Huma Abedin a Muslim American is part of a nefarious plot to harm the United States by unduly influencing American foreign policy at the department of state in favor of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist causes. On June 13th 5 members of congress wrote to the deputy inspector general of the Department Of State demanding that he begin an investigation into the possibility that Huma Abedin and other American officials are using their influence to promote the cause of the Muslim brotherhood within the U.S. Government. The information used to support these serious allegations is based on a report, The Muslim Brotherhood in America which is produced by The Center For Security Policy.”

Mr. Mc then offered his opinion that the report is “scurrilous”

Well Mr Mc hear is what the letter actually says.

“For example according to The Muslim Brotherhood: The enemy from Within,” a product of The Center for Security Policy (www.muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com), .The departments deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin has three family members- her late farther, her mother and her brother- connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and / or organizations. Her position offers her routine access to the secretary and to policy-makeing.”

In light of all the favorable opportunities offered by the Obama Administration to the Muslim Brotherhood hear at home and abroad it seams completely logical to ask the question. Has Huma Abedin been completely vetted? If she has then lets see her file. If not, then ask why not, then kick her ass to the curb. It may be safe to say that any person that has associations with a group or organization that has known links to terrorism should be disqualified from holding a job within the federal government. Take for example the janitor that cleans your office Senator McCain. Would you be happy to know that a person who has links to a extreme Islamist group has keys to your office so they can gain access unsupervised in the middle of the night to empty your wast basket and sweep the floor. Would that be acceptable to you?

It is a fact that the Muslim Brotherhood is actively working world wide to increase their acceptance within western societies and wipe out any form of religion other than Islam. Conversion to Islam and the eradication of Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism, etc world wide is the goal, that includes atheists and nonbelievers as well.

The infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood in America did not start with the federal government but with society in general. It has been subtle and creeping but it has been relentless until the 911 attack. In the aftermath of 911 the brotherhood stepped up their effort of Islamatisation in the U.S. by offering up the idea of Muslims being a peaceful loving people. Using the Chinese principal of sweet and sour the Brotherhoods proxies like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has tried to sweeten the idea of Muslim acceptance within the U. S.. However for most Americans there is not enough sugar in the world to get the taste of 911 out of our mouths.

Up-until the advent of the Arab Spring movement the Muslim Brotherhood was illegal in most Middle Eastern / North African (MENA) countries simply because these countries with the exception of Israel are/or were kingdoms or dictatorships. Just like the Mafia in Italy the Brotherhood flourished in an underground manor subverting the countries governments by winning the harts and minds of the repressed citizens as sort of a unofficial welfare organization. The harts and minds concept has worked so well in the MENA countries for the Brothers that they were able to take control over the populations once the tipping point of the Arab Spring fell in their favor.

Right now in Egypt the Brotherhood is in civilian control and advancing the idea of Shariah law and all the benefits that come along with it. Benefits like stoning women to death, cutting off the hands of petty thieves, decapitating nonbelievers and burning bibles. Coptic Christians are now being extorted with a practice called “jizya” they call it a tax that all nonbelievers are required to pay according to the Koran. The Brotherhood justifies the burning of churches and the beating and killing of Coptics due to the fact that they refuse to pay the jizya. If that is not insane enough these screwballs are calling for the Spinx and the Pyramids at Giza to be destroyed or covered with wax. Someone needs to tell these Islamist idiots that wax melts in the dessert and that Egypt's entire tourist industry revolves around the Pyramids and that they are one of the seven wonders of the world. Maybe the Islamists will want to back-fill the Suez Canal next!

Mrs. “B” has a right, no, an obligation to ask these questions and to alert the American people that Soetoroman and his fellow henchman are actively supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. By the White House releasing $1.5 billion to the Egyptians at this point is subverting the nations security, moral beliefs and the nations constitutional principals. What is confusing is that the United States Government is complicate in these activities. Since 1776 the USG has taken on the responsibility of protecting the citizenry from all enemies both foreign and domestic. They have taken this responsibility seriously and have done an excellent job of it. So what has gone wrong, why is it that the government fails to recognize that we are at war with an ideology not a country? The day we witnessed Attorney General Eric Holder refuse to say the words Radical Islamist extremism, it hit like a flash of lightning from out of the blue, the government is involved and they support the radical Muslim agenda for political purposes. The so-called grand jihad is a key stepping stone or a tool in the world wide socialists attempt to wipe out capitalism and Christians, Jews, the Bible and the Torah will be nothing more than collateral damage.

Americans Involved in Bulgarian Bombing

2012-07-25T00:13:00.000-04:00

It is unclear whether the dead bomber was an American or a Swed or an Iranian but the Bulgarian police, FBI' CIA and the Moussed are all looking for an American named David Jepson. It is beveled that Jepson was instrumental in the bombing and could have been the person on airport surveillance video recorded shortly before the blast took place.

The suicide bomber, who killed six Israelis and a local bus driver in Bulgaria's Burgas airport received guidance by an accomplice based in the other major coastal city of Varna, media reports say. The presumed accomplice, who is believed to be a US citizen named David Jepson, was captured on CCTV footage at Varna airport at the end of June, according to unconfirmed information. The American reportedly spent a few nights at a hotel near the Festival Congress Center in downtown Varna, but investigators find it impossible to track him down after the day of the terror attack in Burgas. Police suspect the American is still in Bulgaria's territory.

CCTV footage released earlier from the attack at Burgas airport had shown a white person with long hair. That person fits the description of and could have been Mehdi Ghezali a Swedish man with Algerian and Finnish origins. He had been held at the US’s Guantanamo Bay detainment camp on Cuba from 2002 to 2004, having previously studied at a Muslim religious school and mosque in Britain, and traveled to Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. He was released to Swedish custody in 2004, and the Swedish government did not press charges. He was also reportedly among 12 foreigners captured trying to cross into Afghanistan in 2009.”

A survivor that witnessed the attack said that a dark-skinned man with short brown hair and an Arabic accent came aboard the bus and he appeared to be wearing a wig. This man has yet to be identified but according to the Israelis he is possibly a Iranian national working with Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The FBI and the CIA are working with Bulgarian investigators and are tying to ID the bomber though Fingerprint and DNA evidence taken from the dead bomber's body. One of the investigators relieved that three or four field operatives could be involved, one could possibility be a woman and that one or more of them could still be at large within Bulgaria. The man hunt is underway for the American David Jepson who they clime could have entered the country through one of the EU's border crossings that is a free flowing cross border post leaving entries and exits undocumented.

The reason why the multinational spook force is looking for this man is because they found his passport or some other kind of identification. The tactics of any spy agency are deception and deflection, Iran;s Quds force is no exception, and the Quds international intelligence force has infiltrated all western countries to some extent. However in their attempt to cover and deflect their involvement in the Bulgarian bombing the Iranians may have made a fundamental error. David Jepson could possibility be the dead perpetrator on the bus, or one of the accomplices on the run, or he could be in a grave in Arizona. David Jepson with a birth date of 09/16/1971 and a death date of 06/16/1995 is buried in grave VB_C_2_55_14 at the Arizona Vine Bluff Cemetery. The drivers license found at the crime seine was a poorly executed forgery and the passport found was also forged. both documents are of U S origin.

Hezbollah operating out of mosques in the the U S is involved in various criminal activities that include cocaine sales, identity theft, transnational weapons and human trafficking to and from Mexico and money laundering through various types of business ventures. The proceeds from their criminal enterprises goes directly to accounts that fund terrorism around the globe. Regardless of weather David is dead or alive Americans are involved in this acts of terror. The documents found in Bulgaria are a trial that leads right back to U S shores and there is no doubt that Hezbollah’s network of recruiting and financing through mosques are involved. There is just to many connections to deny the fact that Iranian influence in the United States is propagating violence around the globe, The next attack could be at the Olympics in London or at a baseball game in Detroit.

My Daddy the Pimp

2012-07-19T13:42:00.000-04:00

After a long Arab spring an Egyptian summer has bloomed and love is in the air. Men from all over the Middle East are in search of the woman of their dreams. Yes the sweet smell of love is in the air and the men follow their nose right to Egypt. The farther of the unsuspecting bride submits his name and contact information along with his daughters photo and short bio to a marriage broker in a country like Dubai, Kuwait or Saudi Arabia. The broker in-turn adds the girls information to his data base for his customers perusal. When a customer finds a girl he likes he pays a contact fee to the broker. The customer then directly approaches the young girls farther with an offer to marry his daughter for a specified time period. The offer always includes money but could also involve a job for his son or a refrigerator for the family home.

With the details ironed out the groom travels to his bride's family home to finalize the transaction and the girl is handed over by her farther in front of a judge to sign a Mot’aa or Misyar marriage contract. These contracts are valid for a predetermined period of time after which they can be renewed or allowed to expire. The newly weds in most cases have a significant age difference with the bride being between the age of 15 to 20 and the groom being of middle-age. When the man who is often married to another woman is in the last days of his sex vacation and the marriage contract is about to expire he has two choices. The first is to take his underage bride back to his home and give her to his wife as a house slave. Or just leave her at the side of the road on his way to the airport. The latter is most common because Egyptian law prohibits foreign men to permanently marry women 10 years their junior so leaving the country is complicated by obtaining fraudulent documentation.

The injustice to the jilted young girl is just beginning. Returning to her family, often times pregnant she is now branded with the scarlet letter of an unwed mother with an unwanted baby. The girl in most cases abandons her baby and turns to a life of prostitution never being able to escape the grips of poverty in the shanty town that she lives in.

Slums of Cairo

Egypt has so many social and economic problems that must be addressed now that the country has a new president. But will this new political structure actually make a difference. Will President Mohamed Morsi and his so called Freedom And Justice Party aka the Muslim Brotherhood try and tackle any of the problems facing Egyptian society or will the poverty continue to fester.

Sectary of State Hillary Clinton has spent the last three and a half years globetrotting and proselytizing about human trafficking, woman’s rights and religious freedom. The history of the MB shows that none of these issues have been front and center in their agenda. And now with the group in a politically strong position and able to make a difference in Egyptian society many contend that the status quo will continue as it did before the advent of the Arab Spring. Of course there is the Coptic church burnings and crimes against Christians, The genital mutilation of young girls and the condoned flesh peddling of adolescent women must be curtailed to give President Morsi legitimate standing on the world stage.

In April President Barack Obama not only released $1.5 billion dollars in aid to Egypt and had MB leaders in the White House. Clearly the Obama Administration has promoted the MB and probably hand picked Mohamed Morsi as their presidential candidate. For the administration not to add any restrictions on this aid is ridiculous, for one thing the war on woman must stop in Egypt. Second the security in the Sinai peninsula must be maintained and the Camp David Accords must stay intact, third military hardware must be monitored by a U.S. contingent, forth civilian police forces must be re-vetted and redeployed for the tranquility of the citizenry and upholding the rights of all citizens including Christians and Jews. Also the current military rank and file as well as the upper echelon must divest their commercial interests or leave the military. These issues and many others need to be addressed and time-lines need to be attached to any existing or future financial aid. But the current administration has not addressed these issues and Mrs. Clinton's silence has been defining.

Syria; The Shit Storm Cometh

Daoud Rajha

Top government officials in Syria are scattering like cockroaches and the Free Syrian army turned on the light switch with two well placed bombs that were remotely detonated. The explosive devices were smuggled into a top level security meeting by hiding one in a box of chocolates and the other in a flower arrangement. According to a FSA officer the attack had been in the planing stages for months.

A report out of Syria said that President Bashar al Assad was injured in the bombing of the three story building that houses the defense ministry. President al Assad is nowhere to be found and one report said that the presidential plane took off from Damascus military airport for the city of Latakia.

The port city of Latakia is host to several Iranian war ships and weapons depots. al Assad clearly is looking to Iran for retaliatory help and safe haven now that his government is falling to pieces. Asma al Assad the dictators wife has fled the country for Russia presumably after looting the treasury of cash.

Mass defections among the military are rampant and widespread throughout the country. In the aftermath of the explosion that took out the governments top henchmen. Syrian TV confirmed the deaths of Defense Minister Daoud Rajha,a former general that advised Halfass al Assad the current dictators daddy, Gen Hassan Turkmani, a deputy president and head of the crisis cell, deputy defense minister Assef Shawkat referred to as "the second president" and the husband of the dictator's sister. With Shawkat's death the country's security apparatus is severely crippled.

Also wounded were Interior Minister Mohammed Shaar and Maj. Gen. Hisham Ikhtiar, who heads the National Security Department. State TV said both were in stable condition.

Although there were no statements from Assad, Syrian TV said in the hours after the attack that a decree from him named Gen. Fahd Jassem al-Freij as the new defense minister. Al-Freij used to be the army chief of staff.

Government troops have been deployed to all government buildings in Damascus as well as the radio and television stations in anticipation of more attacks. The FSA is swiftly moving through the city of Damascus on their way to Qudseya the location of the Presidential Place. Government forces have been abandoning checkpoints but are retaliating against the Syrian citizens with rocket attacks. With al Assad's troops rocked back on their heals the use of bio/chem agents may soon be deployed if FSA troops lay siege to the presidential palace and continue their rampage through the city.

Labor Unions: From 7% to 0

2012-07-16T11:34:00.000-04:00

Bodie CA.

The gold rush that started in 1848 at Sutters Mill in California and set off a frenzy of gold fever that lead to the construction of many boom towns from Alaska to Mexico. The heydays of the gold rush lasted about 50 years and once the the gold ran out so did the people. Today these once bustling settlements are slowly being reclaimed by mother nature and are now ghost towns. We are seeing this phenomena happening again in Detroit. The black plague of bankruptcy is infecting municipalities and it is sweeping across the nation. Yes the gold has run out and we have public and private sector unions to thank for the infection.

This week we have learned that cities and towns across the nation are being infected with the union disease, Scranton and Harrisburg in PA., San Bernardino, Stockton and Sacramento in CA., Woonsocket and Pawtucket in RI., Chicago IL. and Detroit MI. have both had their bonds downgraded to “junk bond status” by Moody's. All of these municipalities have made big promises to their public sector union employees that are unsustainable.

Detroit MI.

Detroit has had a double union punch in the gut, the motor city breakdown is a result of the UAW holding the big three auto makers hostage to unreasonable demands. This in turn has forced GM, Ford and Chrysler to down size by eliminating brands and relocating to many right to work states and to Mexico. With the plant closures comes layoffs, that leads to a loss of tax base by the depopulation of the city. The exodus from Detroit has forced the city to tighten its belt and cut back services. State emergency managers have taken over the cities operations and negotiations in light of incompetence by the mayor and the city mangers. A plain has been put forth to eliminate 2500 municipal jobs, reduce salaries and cut health and pension benefits. In response union leaders have threatened to strike. In the past bus drivers and sanitation workers have walked off the job leaving the people of Detroit wading through garbage on their way to work for 17 days. Detroit has a $265 million budget deficit and $13.2 billion in long-term structural debt, the city qualified for a state takeover and a state-appointed panel in March deemed it to be in a "severe financial emergency."

A New York Times article by Mary Williams Walsh published October 12, 2010 outlines New York City;s problems with retiree health care obligations and pensions. In the article she states that the city has made promises regarding health benefits worth $62 billion and that the cities retired workers have pensions that are underfunded to the tune of $75 billion as of June 30, 2008.

Public and private sector unions have driven up the cost of goods and services to the point of un-affordability by the same people that supply and manufacture them. The unions have become their own worst enemy by forcing higher than normal wadge and benefit packages, they have forced entire industries out of this country. Case-in-point; The garment and textile industry was a huge employer in the southeastern Massachusetts/Rhode Island region but no more. The old knitting mills of Fall River stand vacant or have been torn down in some cases converted into condominiums. The manufacture of clothing gave birth to the term “sweat shop” men and women worked their fingers to the bone with out breaks 12 hours a day and paid “piece work”. When the garment workers organized many of the conditions improved. With their new found power of collective bargaining unions forced employers for more wadges and benefits by striking and going after business owners and “Scabs” with ax handles that attempted to cross picket lines. If strikes did not work then they would burn a factory or a managers home. Finally the factory owners had enough and one by one they went to Japan, Taiwan and India. The company that once employed 100 workers in a four story building that took up two city blocks was reduced to an office staffed by 4 or 5 people that was twice as profitable.

Bethlehem Steel Bethlehem PA.

When it comes to police officers, fire fighters and teachers clearly we can not send their jobs oversees but something must be done, the nations security depends on it. We need to keep our public sector workers happy but we also need to keep a handle on expenses. A political and business solution must be found to repatriate jobs to grow the tax base. Surely the city of Scranton Pennsylvania would not be in a financial mess if the US steel industry did not collapse under the weight of China's government subsidized production. Then there is the coal industry being strangled by EPA regulations further strangling the region. Is Allentown, Bethlehem or Wilks-Barre next? Mismanagement and lack of foresight may have played a part in the fiscal problems these municipalities are facing but when the fingers stop being pointed we still need to solve the problem. In the meantime the United States is looking at a saver security problem all because of union strangulation.

The government on all levels federal, state and municipal is failing in the security of the citizens by capitulating to union demands. The unions have outlived their usefulness and they need to be dissolved. We can start the process on the federal level with AFSCME/AFGE these unions are growing like a tumor. The federal employment statistics for the year 2010 was 2,841,000 civilian employees. The Weekly Standard reported in January that Andrew Biggs, the former Social Security Administration deputy commissioner for policy and American Enterprise Institute Scholar said that, “The average federal government employee receives a salary of around $75,000 per year. With present and future fringe benefits equal to about 76 percent of salaries, that makes for total annual compensation of around $133,000”

Unemployment is holding steady at around 8% and there is jobs available but most of the jobs are part time dead end opportunities that can not pay the bills for a person undereducated by an underachieving union saturated school system. This is becoming a problem in cities like Detroit and Chicago where illegal activities have replaced a job or in some cases augmented the family income. With more illegal activity catering to vices comes more crime and violence sending a city into a death spiral. This can be seen in Detroit's abandon properties and Chicago's murder rate.

The United States has been lulled into a false seance of security by the federal government the war is no longer going to be in Afghanistan or some Middle Eastern backwater but right on American soil. The US has under-reported the threat from within. A disaffected unemployed population of young people has given rise to the “occupy wall street” movement and anarchist movements that operate under the radar till an event takes place like the Republican National Convention in Tampa Florida. A country that is fully employed minimizes these threats and maximizes it's tranquility.

The large private sector unions like SEIU and AFL-CIO have a huge impact on the political decisions made in the United States. Since 2008 union influence in Washington has increased faster and is more pervasive than ever before. Richard Trumka president of the AFL-CIO has been to the White House over 50 times to meet with Obama. Andy Stern president of SEIU has also darkened the the White House door about 56 times prior to his retirement in April 2010. In February of 2011 Trumka was boasting that “I talk to someone in the White House EVERY DAY” what could these people be talking about? Perhaps it is the dividing of the nations loyalties? Or could it be the formation of bills and laws that would benefit unions? Maybe the discussion revolves around carve-outs in the tax code for union leaders in return for future favors? We can only speculate but it is clear that state and local governments are at war with unions over contract negotiations. It is becoming obvious that union leaders are special interest groups that have loyalty only to themselves not their members and certainly not the employers that the members work for. If your a teacher and a union member you represent a paycheck to the union leadership nothing more nothing less and the leadership will protect their investment by keeping you employed. So you can fall asleep in the classroom and you can keep checking out the children that parents have intrusted you with and taxpayers will keep paying your lazy perverted ass because the teachers unions have chosen to reward nonperformance and condone illicit behavior in return the receive $150 a month in dues .

Union leadership has taken membership dues and invested in failed socialist policies and pay-for-play political leaders that are selling this country out. The National Labor Relations Board that is loaded with socialists labor lawyers had blocked the opening of the Boeing assembly plant in South Carolina. At the prodding of Union leaders like Richard Trumka The White House instructed the NLRB to force Boeing,s production back to the unionized state of Washington. The House of representatives stepped up to the plate and in September voted 238-186 on a bill that bars the NLRB from forcing Boeing to act on a move. July 17 Boeing announced that they have secured $35 billion in new orders for their new fuel efficient aircraft. The announcement came at the U.K.'s Farnborough International Air Show, assembly will take place at the South Carolina operation.

Boeing Facility in SC

At the show Airbus also hit a grand slam home run when they announced that they have secured orders worth $17 billion, good news for Airbus but better news for U.S. employment. The Euro manufacture that has been building commercial aircraft in France and Germany announced that their new A320neo airframe will be constructed in Alabama. With the rising cost of European union labor, the unstable economy in Europe, the technical skills of American workers and the availability of non union labor are all reasons that has lead Airbus to invest $600 million in a manufacturing facility in Mobile.

Conservative governors in right to work states are being very aggressive in courting CEOs into relocating to their states. Rick Scott of Florida has dropped the states unemployment rate almost 3 points since he was elected in 2010. Gov. Scott has reduced property taxes and maintained services. Personally my taxes have decreased about $80 a month.

Governors Like Rick Scott, John Kasich of Ohio and Scot Walker in Wisconsin are directly in the cross hairs of union leaders. They see them as the enemy of working class people. The fact is, it is unions like the AFL-CIO and SEIU that drive up the cost of goods and services in the United States. CEOs have been fighting back for the last 50 years by withdrawing their manufacturing facilities from the U.S. to countries like Mexico. The UAW has caused a title wave of jobs flooding Across the southern border. Wile German and Japanise auto makers have built non union auto assembly plants in right to work states. American auto makers started by importing small parts and plastic blow molded components from Mexico that were shipped back to Detroit for the assembly line. Today it is complete Hemi engines and transmissions for America's police cars and most disappointing of all are the complected cars and SUVs that are shipped from Mexico directly to the auto dealers.

Richard Trumka

Remarks by Richard Trumka April 27, 2011

" I really believe the public is on to what these CEO-backed Republican attackers are trying to do to working people and their rights, and that over the next 18 months, working people and our allies across these battleground states are going to win—not every fight, but the big ones and the day. I believe Scott Walker, the ambitious little big man that he is, will regret listening to the Koch Brothers—the real ones, not the Internet pranksters.
But the bigger question really is what does this fight mean for workers' future in America? It would be nice to say that victory over Kasich and Walker and company will mean victory for workers and our unions. But that will not be true.

The reality is that we have only faced this kind of attack because the labor movement has been in decline for so long our enemies thought we were weak and isolated and could be destroyed once and for all. The truth is that we live in a country where 3 out of 4 workers are in the private sector, and only 7% of them have a union in their workplace. That figure—7% private-sector union density—may be the most important number in American life. It speaks to stagnant wages and out-of‑ control health care costs, to mass foreclosures, to weak demand, to the politics of plutocracy, to our failure to invest in America.Political strategies that are simply about low-risk ways of holding the White House will not help workers—they will lengthen a losing end game and will not give us a path to victory.

To get the job done, we need to build and strengthen and broaden the labor movement. We need to better engage our members and build an army of activists like the teachers and firefighters and other public employees in Wisconsin who have inspired us all.

We must take the spirit that brought working people to the streets of Indianapolis and Madison and Columbus—and Tunis and Cairo—and bring it to all our nation's workplaces—and to our polling places, our state capitols and our national capitol. With this spirit of unity, of solidarity, of democracy itself, we can be unstoppable in 2011, in 2012 and in the years to come. "

Mr Trumka Has advocated violence in the past but now he is promoting the use of public disobedience and violent behavior as a means to an end. All this in an attempt to stay relevant and promote the socialist agenda. The unions and the AFL-CIO in particular are looking to capitalize on the uprisings in the Middle East endorsing the overthrow of governments bringing that level of violence to this country. The police officers and nurses that are union members will be thrilled to hear that the AFL-CIO will be contributing to their overtime. Mr Trumka is a power hungry control freak using big labor as a club to beat the population over the head. President Obama in turn is using the labor unions as a tool to soften the American populous to the idea of social justice and create a rich vs poor environment so it will be easy to infect the ignorant with his socialist manifesto.

Mr Trumka also said

" In the age of Internet globalization, we live our cause as one with workers around the world. The U.S. labor movement's voice has been clear in support of democracy and workers' rights in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Bahrain, in Syria, in Iran—and our voice has been heard. Victorious protestors in Egypt ordered pizza by cell phone for workers sitting-in in Madison, Wisconsin. One of the inspiring young leaders of the teaching assistants' AFT local in Madison is an Egyptian student whose family was in the streets in Cairo. We are global."

So what is Mr Trumka saying hear? He intends to bring that level of violence to the United States for the purpose of boosting the union rolls. If the SEIU and the AFL-CIO take to the streets burning buildings and killing people the backlash will be severe, immediate and unrecoverable. Mr Trumka will see his 7% go to 0 and the final nail in the union coffin will be hammered.

Tlass Blood is Thicker Than Loyalty.

2012-07-10T20:59:00.002-04:00

Manaf Tlass

The world has witnessed Egyptian tank commanders in Tarear Square restraining and refusing orders to fire on protesters. This is a rare event in the Muslim world. Solders and low level officers are trained and instructed to strictly obey orders in a Middle Eastern dictatorship. Unlike Western solders the troops in the Middle East are not trained to think for themselves, but to roboticly follow orders or be disciplined. A personal moral decision was made that day in Tarear Square and that may have been attributed to American instruction and leadership. The last thirty years of Egyptian military leadership and instruction has been heavily influenced by American technology and innovation. This influence has given rise to independent thinking and self reliance. Therefore the moral turpitude of the individual soldier has been risen to the point of self sacrifice rather than the implementation of an illegal order.

The military doctrinaire of the former communist block does not recognize the idea of an illegal order. As trainers in Muslim states like Syria and Iran this attribute has also been passed on. Therefor the states that have aliened themselves with the former communist block countries do not encourage this moral question in the mind of their military. As a result of this the individual solder has three options, 1 follow orders, 2 do not follow orders and be tortured and killed, 3 defect and leave behind your family to receive your punishment in your absence. This is what is being contemplated in the mind of the Syrian Sunni soldiers.

Free Syrian Army solider sniping in Rastan with American M16 rifle

Then there is the Sunni glass ceiling that prevents a segment of the Syrian population to rise above a certain level. We can deduce that this is the reason way we are seeing the military defections, the choice between no future under al Assad or the chance for a future in a Sunni Syria.

There is much less accountability of the foot-soldiers in relation to officers, so when five or ten disappear from a patrol their absence is not readily noticeable. Like in any army the higher up in rank the more responsibility and accountability that soldier has so his disappearance proportionality more noticeable. Recently we have noted that upper level officers have turned coat and are joining the resistance. This is partly because Syria has commenced their so called “war games” and in the kayos of fighting the resistance and the operation the officers are able to slip away. The high profile defection of Brigadier General Manaf Tlass was achieved not by the fog of war games or by his anonymity among thousands. Tlass's escape was successful because of a diversion. General Tlass was in charge of the Republican Guard forces responsible for the security of the palace as well as the Assad families personal protection.

The Assad and the Talass families have enjoyed a long standing relationship that goes back more than 50 years when the patriarchs Hafez al Assad and Mustafa Tlass became friends in the Syrian military academy. The two men organized the movement within the military that overthrew the government of Salah Jadid in the 1970 coup known as the Syrian Corrective Movement. Tlass a Sunni and Assad an Alawite together were a unifying force within the military that guaranteed the coups success.

Akram Ojjeh

Mustafa the farther of four, sons Faris, Manaf and daughters Sarya and Nahed was the countries powerful defense minister until 2002. In 1978 Nahed married Akram Ojjeh very wealthy Saudi arms dealer at the age of 18. Shortly after the marriage the newlyweds moved to France where her 60 year old groom died leaving her the benefactor of a billion dollar fortune sister Sarya married a Lebanese man and is living in Lebanon.

Since the escalation of violence in Syria Nahed, very well connected politically had facilitated the escape of her farther and now her brother General Manaf and his family to France her brother Faris left Syria for Dubai UAE. He is the operator of the only company that supplies the Syrian military with everything from A to Z. Abdul Razzaq Tlass a lieutenant in the Syrian Army and cousin to the general fled Syria for Turkey. In 2011 Abdul Razzaq, once in Turkey, proclaimed very publicly that he has defected from the Syrian Army and is taking up arms against his former compatriots to fight with the Free Syrian Army.

It is not significant that two army officers a businessman and a former political crony left the country but it is extremely significant that they are who they are. This news is just real bad PR for President al Assad and bolsters all Sunni Muslims within the Syrian Army with the fact that it is not impossible to get out. One of the remarkable facts that has come out is that A Republican Guard General in charge of Assad's palace security was under a sort of house arrest imposed by Bashar al Assad himself. When the demonstrations and protests started in March of 2011 it was Manaf who was the point-man in negotiations between the two sides. Apparently he was successful with both sides giving in to a compromise. The deal was unacceptable as it was laid out to Assad and his advising generals, so it was decided to crush the uprisings with an overwhelming show of force. General Tlass protested this decision to Assad and the military, so he was admonished. The deadly military response in the towns of Douma and Rastan by Assad garnered a backlash and the protests increased in their intensity, the countries violence continued to ratchet up ever sense.

The straw that broke the camels back for General Tlass was an all-out military offensive in Rastan the hometown of the Tlass clan the general again protested and again he was rebuffed. Late into the action General Tlass was ordered to go into Doma and Rastan to facilitate the peace and he did not refuse to obey the order but he did say the he would not issue any orders to shoot protesters. This was unheard of in the Syrian chain of command. General Tlass was then relieved of his duties and placed under house arrest (his own house).

Akram Ojjeh's TAG Aviation jets in Geneva

Manaf made the best of his house arrest, sources that are close to him say that he was jogging every day sometimes swimming and playing sports with his friends. Manaf also was making plains for his bug out transferring funds, collecting cash and shipping antiquities from his farther collection. One source reported that one of the items sent out of the country was the sword of Imam Ali? Reports on twitter now claim that the Tlass properties have been ransacked and looted so anything left behind is now gone.
So did the general simply go to the airport in Damascus, jump on a private jet and fly to Paris? We just do not know the particulars of his defection but one of his cars, a Honda, was found in the Rukn ad-Din neighborhood of Damascus and then there are reports he was in Turkey but now we know that his billionaire sister greased some palms in France and he shows up in Paris. Sounds like a James Bond movie. The one thing that is for certain is that western intelligence agencies will be on him like a cheep suit.

The symbiotic relationship between the Tlass and al Assad families has catapulted both to power and wealth. The two families share the responsibility of Syria's tumultuous past, present and future and that must be remembered. It is probably safe to assume that the close personal relationship between the two clans is now over and for the short term any one with the Tlass name should avoid dark allies and be looking over their shoulder for an Assad henchman. Now that The fighting is ratcheting up and the sectarian sides are becoming more defined Syria is in for a long hot summer of war and it seems that some will sit it out on the sidelines sipping champagne. When it comes to Syrian dictators Blood is thicker than loyalty.

Washington D.C.: Bombs Bursting in DOJ

2012-07-05T21:17:00.002-04:00

Independence Day in Washington is an insparational and joyfull time for most Americans But not so much for lawyers scrambling to to put out the fires at the Department Of Justice. DOJ lawyers with their pants on fire are devising strategies to keep the boss Eric Holder out of the reach of a possible grand jury indictment. July 3^rd at DOJ the fireworks were bursting in Eric Holders office when Bloggers David Codrea of The War On Guns and Mike Vanderboegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars filed a ethics complaint with the D.C. Bar Association in regard to the Attorney General Eric Holder's conduct and participation in the illegal gun running operation “Fast and Furious”.

The same day a letter sent by Senator Charles Grassley of the Senate Judiciary Committee to the Attorney General asking him why he had lied under oath to the congressional committees. The letter was accompanied by a document obtained by Grassley's office detailing a telephone conversation that his investigators had with an agent involved in the “Fast and Furious” operation. The letter implicates two separate departments within the DOJ of fabricating a strategy to lie and mislead congressional investigators.

The ethics complaint unsheathed by Codrea and Vanderboegh is a blast from the past and brings back thoughts of Watergate. Attorney General John Mitchell in 1974 was indicted for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, giving false testimony to a Grand Jury, and perjury, for his role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up. He was convicted of these charges in 1975 and sentenced to two-and-a-half to eight years in prison. It was not till after Mitchell was convicted and sentenced that he was disbarred from the New York Bar Association. Along with Mitchell seven other White House and DOJ lawyers were disbarred including Richard Nixon. Spiro Agnew Nixon's Vice President was disbarred under separate charges of tax fraud, extortion, bribery and conspiracy unrelated to Watergate. He was eventually charged with accepting over $100,000 in bribes during his time as an elected official..

The historian Stanley Kutler, who has written several books about Nixon and Watergate, sued for release of the transcripts of Nixons testimony. Ten months after Nixon was forced out of office he drove to the Coast Guard station in San Mateo, California to meet with grand jurors and, for the only time, testified under oath about the Watergate affair. President Obama and AG Holder attempted to block the release of the transcripts with a justice department injunction. They were opposed to the transcripts release on privacy grounds. On July 29, 2011, the U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth granted Kutler's request, saying that historical interests trumped privacy interests.

It is interesting that President Obama as a candidate proclaimed that his administration would be the most transparent in history has tried to block the release of the Nixon testimony, as well as documents relating to “Fast and Furious” by way of executive privilege. Those of us that are interested in bringing justice to Justice will be watching as the sparks fly around the belt way. Walking guns to Mexico is infinitely worse than Watergate but has been down played in most media outlets and is not even a subject in the presidential face off between President Obama and Governor Romney. What Senator Grassley wants to know is how saturated the DOJ is in the swamp we know as “Fast and Furious”. The action taken by Codrea and Vanderboegh is only a love tap compared to the seriousness of the gun scandal that has killed hundreds of Mexicans and two federal law enforcement officers. Many U.S. Attorneys are deep in the swamp and may be slapped with legal sanctions including then acting ATFE director Kenneth Melson. I love the fireworks in Washington.

Assad: The Hot Potato

2012-07-01T12:42:00.001-04:00

Diplomatic dingbats discussing the deplorable dictator Bashar al Assad on Friday June 29^th and Saturday the 30^th can not come to agreement on the disposition of the current Syrian leadership. The talks on Saturday in Geneva yielded nothing. Observers in the meeting said that it was the death of Kofi Annan's 6 point peace plain. One thing that the group did agree upon was the omission of the words “whose participation would jeopardize stability and reconciliation” this was a reference to Assad in the 6 point plain and the western allies agreed to this, unbelievable.

Friday President Assad acknowledged on Sana Syria's state run TV that his country is in a “state of war”, it does not take an ophthalmologist to see that. The Syrian situation all hinges on Assad's behavior and actions but the diplomats continuously run from any agreement that calls for Assad to be neutralized.

This farcical exercise is going no were without Syrian input. You may as well be talking to a brick wall. And that is just what the Russians are complaining about. This is nothing more than liberal lip service aimed at world leaders just so they can say look we are trying to help the people of Syria but Syria won't cooperate.

Turkish convoy headed to Syria

Ammar Qurabi, a Syrian opposition leader with the exiled National Current for Change group, said, “The meeting in Geneva was a shock for the Syrian people; they were expecting an explicit call for Assad to step down.”

Qurabi speaking out about the proposal for a Syrian transitional government said. “We can’t say we would participate in a transition from Assad to Assad,” he said. “All this did was give the Syrian issue sleeping pills for six months, until the U.S. elections are over.” As a Syrian Mr. Qurabi knows that for a successful political change in Damascus to take place then all remnants of a Assad regime must be eradicated. This is not to say that all Baathist influence will be eliminated. Just like in Lybia the upper level officials and family members must be ousted or eliminated.

Turkish anti-aircraft missile emplacement on Syrian border

Friday several interesting statements were made by U.S. officials regarding Syria and surrounding countries. During the DoD press conference Secretary of Defense Leon Pannetta and General Martin Dempsey confirmed Turkish troops, tanks and anti-aircraft emplacements are massing on the Syrian border. Also revieled to us was the fact that “the United States and Israel have rescheduled a joint military exercise called Austere Challenge.” Israeli sources relieved that Saudi Arabian tanks and infantry entered Jordan and are massing on the Syrian border. The Saudis are their on the invitation of Jordan’s King Abdoulah.

Saudi forces taking up positions in Jordan

Saturday in Geneva Mrs. Clinton through out some hints at what she know about the role of western forces that are operating within the Syrian operational theater with this statement. ”But the stakes of inaction by the international community are just too high. If Syria spirals further into civil war, not only will more civilians die, not only will more refugees stream across the borders, but instability will most certainly spill into neighboring states.” Mrs. Clinton at this point is very cryptic but what she is alluding to is CIA/MI5 operations supporting the rebal/Free Syrian Army factions. The recent success of the forces opposing Assad have a great deal to do with the distribution of weapons, dissemination of aerial surveillance photographs and the recruitment of defectors. The CIA has also been instrumental in the formation of a satellite communications network linking opposition commanders in a strategic Information sharing system. Mrs. Clinton may also have confirmed the presence of the Saudi forces in Jordan that are poised to encircle Damascus and creating a safe zone in the suburbs.

Jordan's Tanks preparing for Syrian invasion

In a statement issued by the US State Department Friday an official identified as a senior State Department official spoke from St. Petersburg, Russia. The official paraphrased a meeting between Hillary Clinton and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov by saying “it’s not simply about the suffering of the Syrian people and the danger that the country itself will unravel, but the Secretary made the point that there are real dangers for the wider region. We’ve seen the tensions between Syria and Turkey just this week. We’ve seen the impact on Lebanon. You could have a seriously destabilizing impact on Jordan. You could have an impact on Israel. So it’s really incumbent upon the Security Council members and regional states to exercise leadership and do what we can to help end the violence and get to a political transition. This confirms the sentiment of the Obama Administration that the Syrian people are secondary in this fight. The Americans may be supplying humanitarian aid but that is just cover for the real intentions. President Obama clearly is avoiding the Syrian conflict in public. At the same time Obama is instructing the CIA to steer all support toward the Islamist power structure of the Muslim Brotherhood. Clinton speaks about the impact of neighboring states and the danger of the conflict spreading. This has already happened. AQI al Qeada in Iraq has inserted itself in the fight and is taking advantage of the destabilization to spread its sectarian violence.

Turkish rocket launcher

With the statement “there are real dangers for the wider region” Clinton eludes to the WMDs that are under the control of Pro-Assad forces and the threat of bio/chem attacks on the population of Syria and the exportation of that terror threat. There is a real possibility of the poison agents finding their way into the hands of AQI, Hezbollah, Hamas and the radical Muslim Brotherhood. Syria has produced tuns of Mustard and VX gases as well as Anthrax, small quantities of these substances are devastating to densely populated arias Such as Tel Aviv or the subway system in NY. To make matters worse these agents are stored in bulk containers as well as being weaponized into artillery shells and the storage facilities are scattered throughout the country.

Israeli forces on Syrian border

One thing that is certain to happen in the Syrian conflict is that failed diplomatic attempts will continue to result in the death of more people, the destruction of the countries infrastructure and the expanding radical threat from Islamist groups like AQI. At the very least we must commend Kofi Annan for his continued efforts to resolve the situation through his 6 point plain and by confronting President Assad on his home turf. Clearly the diplomatic effort to curtail the violence has failed leaving neighboring countries to defend their borders and airspace or join the fight. The internal fight between pro and anti Assad factions will escalate to the point that one will collapse, most likely it will be the Assad regime but it may take all summer leaving a lawless vacuum waiting to be filled by various radical Islamist factions. The Jinn is out of the bottle and the longer it takes to cauterize the Syrian wounds the more blood will be spilled and the continued growth of terrorist organizations.
