War W/ Iran: The Perfect Storm Rises??

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

In 1979, radical Muslim clerics led a revolution to overthrow the Shah of Iran. The American embassy was overrun and its staff were held hostage until President Reagan’s January, 1981 inauguration. Shiite Persian Iran became pro-West as British and American companies developed their oil industry. The Ayatollahs rejected Western modernism and capitalist economics. The new extremist theocracy once in control, sought to dominate the oil-rich Middle East. Although Sunnis, the Assad family-ruled Syria partnered with Iran. Iran fought a 10 year stalemate with US-backed Saddam Hussein’s Sunni Iraq. Syria invaded democratic Lebanon and supported Hezbollah’s terrorist attacks on Israel. They took advantage of the PLO’s inept leadership to fund Hamas terrorists to gain control of the Gaza area. They fund Muslim Brotherhood terrorists in North Africa. Iranian President Ahmadinejad professes to believe in a Shiite end-time prophetic Armageddon struggle necessary to usher in the messianic rule of the Mahdi. He denies the Nazi Holocaust and expresses a desire to drive the Jews into the Mediterranean Sea. The radical Taliban outlasted the Soviets; they will enter Kabul again, and threaten Pakistan as well. Ill-conceived, post-war Iraq has a Shiite-government that now threatens its Sunni minority. Radical Muslim influence permeates the Near East from Turkey across North Africa to the Arab states. Then there is the threat of Iran’s nuclear program. Does a country so rich in oil seek nuclear power as an energy source or to produce a weapon of mass destruction? Is Iran a threat to America? Israel and Arab Gulf states recognize the threat. Talk about strange bed fellows. Radical Islam would annihilate the state of Israel, but also sweep the Sunni monarchs and sheikhs away in a bloodbath as well. The Bush Administration started economic sanctions against Iran to force an end to its nuclear program. President Obama has continued and tightened those efforts. The EU is on board to bring down the theocratic regime. China, Japan, and South Korea are meeting with Gulf leaders to discuss “supply guarantees” if they join the US-led effort. If one questions the reality of the power of the CFR and the need for military industrial complex enemies, witness the unusual geo-political perfect storm this election year. Obama, Muslim fathers- influenced and dove-wing Dem, is preparing for war and with it guaranteed re-election; while the GOP candidates (minus the anti-Establishment Ron Paul) trip over each in their commitment to involve America in a third Middle East war. Iran may be a threat to civilization, but US involvement in regime change has a terrible track record.

NeoCons and War W/ Iran

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

There is coming a day conservative friends and Christian Believers when all your faith in the GOP will be shattered to the extent mine was in the Democrat party long ago when Ronald Reagan appeared on the scene. “Southern” Democrat once meant something, but then the party of Jefferson & Jackson devolved into the party of radical feminism; extended sodomite rights; supported murder of unborn children; and keynesianism, socialism, and at times Marxism. Now, thanks to entities both national and global, both parties have been infiltrated w/ policies destined to end our Republic as we know it. It can become no more than another province in a new fascist world order. So-called NeoCons belong in great numbers to the Council on Foreign Relations which is integrated further into the Military Industrial Complex.

GOP friends, study these terms these entities– for they spell the doom of our Republic as we knew it.

Donald Trump, a little over a week ago proposed a scenario I had already pondered. President Obama w/ MIC and neo-Con pressure could launch a war on Iran w/i a year and then win re-election. The public will not vote out a sitting president in the midst of war. And even if this prophecy does not come to pass, every GOP nominee besides Ron Paul supports incremental pressure on Iran up to and including bombing to stop production of a supposed nuclear weapon. The party doesnt matter, the MIC has moved on from Iraq and is targeting Iran as the next US enemy in the crosshairs.

I am not debating whether Iran wants a weapon or not. I am completely in favor of Israel defending their integrity in the regional matter. My goal here is to enlighten Americans on the dangers of blind interventionism. Since 1950, the US has engaged in various conflicts which have little to do w/ our well-being, or were started on fabricated evidence. The conflicts drag on with poor strategies to win or withdraw. Research these entities and make informed decisions. The day is coming when the only alternative will be a third-party ; but it must be popularly supported on a vast scale…

Congressional Politburo To Flame Out

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Not that we should be surprised, but Sunday (Nov20) it was plain for all to hear: the so-called Congressional Supercommittee will fail to make any progress on trimming the budget toward balance by Wednesday (Nov23).

President Obama and Congress failed back in the summer to manage the deficit while increasing the Debt Ceiling. They then organized a bi-partisan committee made up of both Sen’s and Rep’s that would come w/ a plan to balance the budget by mid-November. It is clear now that this unconstitutional politburo will fail too. There are “automatic” cuts that are supposed to “kick in” to do the job they could not. They are supposed to be a combination of Defense and Social Spending measures. They will not “kick in” however til (drum roll…….) 2014. By then, Obama will be in a second term or there will be a new Republican Chief Executive, and Congress will be facing a new mid-term election.

Obama is a fiscal failure; the GOP-led House is a fiscal failure. The Dem-led Senate is a joke. Greedy politicians surrounded by corporate lobbyists will not face up to the magnitude of the budget problem. Federal revenues as a % of GDP have generally increased over the last 40 yrs. (see chart above) Bush’s tax cuts reduced revenue for a while until it increased again at the end of his term. Revenues have been lower since the Great Recession began because so many are out of work.

The problem is not revenue; the problem is out of control spending. There hasnt been fiscal sanity in Washington since the GOP under Newt Gingrich swept into Congressional power and came to agreement w/ Pres. Clinton on welfare reform in the mid-90s.

The fedl tax code needs to be reformed: 3 or 4 FLAT rates w/ few or NO deductions on both the personal and corporate sides. Revenue may actually increase for higher-level incomes. But, the spending side must be dealt with.

Are fedl depts “constitutional”??

Are fedl programs “constitutional”??

NO MORE unfunded wars…

Deduct the salaries paid to the members of this congressional politburo from August to November of this year. They were assigned a duty and failed. They should not be paid for their abject failure.

Vote the bums out of office from both sides of the aisle who fail the taxpayers. And do it now, before America becomes a Greece…

Declaring Victory and Going Home

Sunday, October 23rd, 2011

Kudos to the Presidt in adhering to the departure date negotiated by former Presidt Bush in Iraq. The NeoCon GOP wing doesnt like it, and neither will the Military Industrial Complex, but it is the right decision.

The Iraq War was nation-bldg and settling old scores, nothing more. Time will tell whether it was worth the cost. $800 billion, 4,400 American casualties and 30,000 wounded. Saddam, and his sons are dead; the country has a Constitution and a somewhat functioning government. There is nothing else we can do there that we havent already attempted. They will stand or fall on their own.

Saddam was a Sunni, and now the Shi’ites are in power. that cannot be good since the only other Shia dominated country is Iran. The northern Kurds are grateful and pro-West, but they are surrounded by enemies. Turkey and Iran are willing to wage war on them. The Maliki govt would not guarantee the right for American GI’s guilty of crimes there to be tried by the US Military, so all troops are scheduled to pull out. Declare Victory and go home. Have parades all over the country as they arrive. Move on, and hope the neoCon wing of the GOP can be defeated in primaries by true conservatives….

Show & Tell: Beginning of the End

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

Today, the US Military’s policy of Dont Ask, Dont Tell came to an end. It wasnt a perfect policy, but for Presidt Clinton to initiate it, it was the best he could probably have done. Before DADT, homosexuals were officially barred from the Military and discharged upon discovery afterward. DADT evolved the policy to one of See No Evil, Ignore The Evil. We dont want to know what you are intimately, but if you become flagrant, out you go. That ended today, and if tradition holds true, this will mark the end of another Traditional American Institution.

The first picture AOL had to show w/ the headline was 2 men locked in a passionate kiss. Another headline trumpeted the news of a naval officer marrying his partner. This is how the decline begins in a Nation: INCREMENTALISM. Destroy the Family thr. easy divorce, no Father in the house- get on Govt Welfare, destroy the definition of Marriage, allow Sodomites to adopt, allow Sodomites to openly serve in the Military (destroy its esprit de corps).

This is not the end, just a means to it. Eventually, we will now see Pedophilia accepted in Society and in marriage relationships, then somewhere down the road Bestiality will enter into the picture. Scoff now if you like; but would Americans 60 or 80 yrs ago have foreseen open Sodomites trying to legitimize their relationships w/ Marriage? Would they have foreseen Sodomites openly carrying on their relationships while serving in the Military??

This is the end, insipid friend , the End; of our elaborate plan, the end….. It will never be the same country again. We are quickly reaching the point where God cannot continue to bless our Nation… Open our eyes Lord to the condition we are in.

Obama & Libya

Sunday, September 4th, 2011

Why did Obama throw in w/ NATO on a third Middle East war? Documents in Libyan Security Services and Foreign Services depts are revealing embarrassing ties between the CIA and British MI6 w/ Libya’s long-time dictator.

Gaddafi became somewhat timid from Reagan’s bombing and Bush II’s war on terror tactics. He sought ways to shed his pariah status and claimed to turn over a new leaf. The documents show he aided the US and UK w/ Terror suspects. Did Obama’s admin. want these documents released to embarrass the intelligence community? Are his methods that sinister? He has not shut down GITMO or ended one war….

Interrogation techniques in clandestine wars against non-citizens are an area best left to the pros. Hear no evil, see no evil. Its a rough world out there, full of people who despise Americans, America, and our way of life. We dont beat them by joining them in their methods, but……

Back To Basics On War: Sun Tzu

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

Sun Tzu wrote the Book on Strategy in War; through a combination of Discipline & Hardness & Obedience he saved the Kingdom of Wu’s independence. He preferred an Army 10 times the size of a neighbor to be able to face them. Its definitely time to re-examine his precepts as we slog thr. 10 yrs in Afghanistan and 8 yrs in Iraq.

1) Know your enemy and know yourself : in 100 battles, you will never be in peril

2) To win 100 battles is not the height of skill; to subdue the enemy w/o fighting is

3) Avoid what is strong. Attack what is weak

4) It is essential for Victory that generals are un-constrained by their leaders… *My Favorite: think of Grant & Sherman, Patton & MacArthur*

5) The winning Army realizes the conditions for Victory 1st, then fights. The losing Army fights 1st– then seeks victory. *Deja vu in Iraq all over again*

6) No Nation has ever benefited from prolonged War: Preparation/ Deception/ Indirect Attacks

#6 Think American Revolution, Vietnam 1954-1975, Afghanistan 1979-1989, 2001-2011***

Livin’ On The Edge

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2011

“Something’s wrong w/ the world today; I dont know what it is; Something’s wrong w/ our eyes. We’re seeing things in a different way; and God knows it aint His; It sure is no surprise. We’re living on the edge….”

Economic Armageddon was averted supposedly this week with the Debt-Ceiling Deal between the GOP leadership and the President. Time will tell.

In my book, FOR THE CAUSE, I wrote, ” With the administration of FDR, the corrupt forces of international financiers gained further control of the economy. The budget deficit climbed higher than ever before: from $1 billion in 1918, to more than $25 billion between the world wars, and growing to more than $150 billion by 1945. New Deal policies subverted our traditional American values, dictating economic policy. Although the country stabilized from the effects of the Great Depression, it was at the cost of individual and corporate liberty. Power was wrung from the states and commandeered by the federal Gov’t.” (p. 23)

“The annual deficits must cease; no one could continue to run a home or business like Congress runs this country….” (p. 66) Gov’t spending still outpaces tax revenue creating an ever larger national debt now reaching $14 Trillion. So Congress and Presidt Obama agree to raise the Debt Ceiling nearly $2 Trillion more to keep America from defaulting on paying its bills. This will get the country through the 2012 election perhaps, but it does nothing to fix the problem. The Deal comes w/ “cuts” to match the raise- but DOES IT?

The US Govt runs a $4 billion deficit every day of the fiscal year. It borrows 34 cents of every dollar it spends. The 1st year’s cuts (2012) amount to $7 billion. Do you see the problem?! Every fiscal year, executive departments of the Gov’t get automatic 8% increases in their budgets (ie., they dont start over at 0 and prove their year’s need; they dont even stay the same!!!) Do you see the problem?!

Bush’s Two Unfinanced Wars against 4th rate opponents last 10 and 8 yrs respectively w/ no end in sight; he adds an unfinanced prescription drug plan to Medicare; he leaves w/ TARP I; Obama comes in w/ TARP II; the Stimulus Pkg; and then the FED’s QE II debt buying policy. Cumulatively, this makes International Financiers and the Military Industrial Complex richer while devaluing the Dollar (promising future inflation) and leads to mountains of Debt mortgaging future American generations. Time will tell whether the promised cuts lead to 1)balancing future budgets and 2)reducing the federal debt. Future promised cuts are historically nothing more than ’smoke and mirrors’ tricks. The formation of a 12 member “Super Congress” to find the necessary cuts borders on unconstitutional. This “Politburo” could have extra-constitutional powers to change the process of congressional budget planning including taxation. None of this bodes well for the future. Like Greece, Spain, and other European countries, we are living on the edge economically.

Obama Always Day Late and A Dollar Short

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

Almost everything else revolves around the cost of a gallon of gas. As the price surges again in late summer, the economy is sliding backwards quicker causing more economists to speak of double-dip recession; some are saying what I’ve thought all along– we never came out of the Recession.

A year ago, gas was $2.85 a gallon, this August the price at the pump has surged again to $3.68. This after the Presidt and the EU have released Strategic Reserves in the US and Europe. The relief was short-lived as stock speculators again drove up the price.

Tom Kloza (Oil Price Information Service analyst) tells us barring some new hurricane or terror event September will see gas between $3.50 and $3.75. Commodity strategist Francisco Blanch of Bank of America Merrill Lynch warns, “Next year, you could see $5 gas… The only way the consumer can win is by reducing consumption.”

In the modern economy, everything is driven by the price of energy- black gold. The Oil Companies and the political puppets they control (regardless of party) continue to acquire record profits as the overall economy suffers.

Obama’s Father’s Marxism

“Well this explains alot about what Barack Obama Jr believes and why he sought out Marxist professors, hung out with radicals and joined a church that is marxist at its core. The dreams of his father were conventional communism pure and simple as pointed out in a paper the elder Obama wrote and uncovered by Prestopundit, (hattip: Jim Hoft). Those dreams were 100% taxation, no private property, nationalization of all businesses, elimination of classes and much more. Greg looks at Obama’s book “Dreams of my Father” at does some investigative journalism you won’t see in the MSM.

1. Obama advocated the communal ownership of land and the forced confiscation of privately controlled land, as part of a forced “development plan”, an important element of his attack on the government’s advocacy of private ownership, land titles, and property registration. (p. 29)

2. Obama advocated the nationalization of “European” and “Asian” owned enterprises, including hotels, with the control of these operations handed over to the “indigenous” black population. (pp. 32 -33)

3. Obama advocated dramatically increasing taxation on “the rich” even up to the 100% level, arguing that, “there is no limit to taxation if the benefits derived from public services by society measure up to the cost in taxation which they have to pay” (p. 30) and that, “Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.” (p. 31)

4. Obama contrasts the ill-defined and weak-tea notion of “African Socialism” negatively with the well-defined ideology of “scientific socialism”, i.e. communism. Obama views “African Socialism” pioneers like Nkrumah, Nyerere, and Toure as having diverted only “a little” from the capitalist system. (p. 26)

5. Obama advocates an “active” rather than a “passive” program to achieve a classless society through the removal of economic disparities between black Africans and Asian and Europeans. (p. 28) “While we welcome the idea of a prevention [of class problems], we should try to cure what has slipped in .. we .. need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now .. so long as we maintain free enterprise one cannot deny that some will accumulate more than others .. ” (pp. 29-30)

Go read the whole analysis at Prestopundit it is truely eye-opening.”
