The Rape of Lara Logan – The Rape of America

By Nicholas Contompasis

By now most of America has heard of the rape of Lara Logan, or have they? News was released yesterday that a mob of pro-Democracy Egyptians beat and raped this stunningly beautiful reporter for CBS’s 60 Minutes. The tale is horrid, if you’ve taken the time to read up on it. The thought of this South African by birth reporter, being consumed by a sexually repressed male mob of Muslims should send shivers up every Christian or Jewish woman’s spine.

It appears that the pro-Democracy hoards in Egypt had other things on their minds and it wasn’t freedom. It was more like rape, beat and pillage. It’s been reported that the word “Jew, Jew, Jew” was yelled as she was continually raped and beaten. Hmm, could this be considered a hate crime? Where are all those ACLU lawyers when you need them?

Moving on, over the past few weeks I’ve had to endure gobs of adjectives from Liberals across the media spectrum who described this movement as a wonderful renaissance of the Middle East. Well, I wonder how they’re feeling today after this beating and rape of one of their own? It was bad enough when CNN’s Anderson Cooper and other male media talking heads were beaten, but when a beauty like Lara is raped by a pro-Democracy Muslim mob, it all seems to hit home for the average American.

As more information trickles out about the rape, I’m sure the American Liberal Left aren’t feeling so “warm and cuddly” about their experimentation with the new social networking tools on primitive third world peoples. It’s obvious that this story was held for several days with the liberal Left media-types scurrying around trying to figure out how to spin this tragedy.

Of course, the Logan family should have their privacy, but the symbolism of this rape speaks volumes to the radical Muslim movement that’s sweeping across the globe. It should be noted that the rape of Lara Logan could someday be the “Rape of America.”

Congressman Peter King: Al-Qaida Recruiting Killers Inside USA

Borrowed from Newsmax - Thank you   
By Henry J. Reske and Ashley Martella

Al-Qaida now is recruiting home-grown killers within the United States, declares House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King. That’s why he has set hearings for next month on the radicalization of American Muslims, the Long Island Republican told Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.
It is “extremely difficult for them to attack us from outside,” as al-Qaida did on 9/11, because of increased security, he said. So al-Qaida switched to recruiting from within U.S. borders, he said.
“They’re taking people who are under the radar screen who are not on any terrorist surveillance list at all and they are recruiting them to fight against America,” King said.

General Petraeus To Quit As US Commander in Afghanistan - Eye on the White House

Joe Weisenthal | Feb. 15, 2011, 5:39 PM | 937
Shocker from The Times Of London:
General David Petraeus, the most celebrated American soldier of his generation, is to leave his post as commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan. The Times can reveal that the Pentagon aims to replace General Petraeus, who was appointed less than eight months ago, by the end of the year. Sources have confirmed that the search for a new commander in Kabul is under way.
Remember that Petraeus took over last year from General McChrystal, whose Rolling Stone interview criticizing the President forced him to resign/be fired.

Lara Logan Of 60 Minutes Raped by Pro-Democracy Mob In Egypt

CBS News says that correspondent Lara Logan was attacked and sexually assaulted last Friday in Cairo’s Tahrir Square while filming a piece for “60 Minutes.”

From the CBS News statement:

On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS Correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a 60 MINUTES story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration. It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers. She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

There will be no further comment from CBS News and Correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

We've Lost Turkey - The Rise of Radical Islam and Its Global Reach

By Nicholas Contompasis

While you were watching the Egyptian military take control of their country, in Turkey, their counterparts were being arrested and thrown in jail. Make no mistake about it, this is a big deal and the generals in Egypt should be taking notes on what happens when you let Democracy in and the people elect strict Islamists into power.
To put this in simple terms, the guys who did everything they could to stop the influence of a radical Muslim movement in Turkey have now been thrown in the clink.
These pro-western generals and admirals are now facing God knows what for conspiring against the new Islamist government in Istanbul.
Rumblings of discontent from this government towards the West have had many in European capitals and Washington worried that they have lost Turkey to the radical Islamist movement now taking over much of the Middle East.
Turkey, a NATO ally, is now at a crossroads. The action they have taken against these high ranking military officers is the template that will be used to neuter pro-Western militaries that still control some Middle Eastern countries like Egypt.
You are now watching the crumbling of the West's century old control of the region, to be replaced by a monolithic Islamic nation under the rule of clerics that follow Sharia Law. Some are now saying "How Turkey goes, so goes Europe."
In America, Congressman Peter King of New York will be holding special hearings on radical Islam in America. Let's hope he's able to expose this cancerous tumor that is spreading across the globe in it's attempt to dominate all, and turn the clock back four hundred years on a modern Western society.

Joys of Muslim Women

By Nonie Darwish
In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 7 year old , consummating the marriage by 9.  The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.
Often after a woman has been raped.  The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and the man does not have to say why he has beaten her.
The husband is permitted to have 4 wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.
The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

The Death of Israel and How It Will Happen

By Nicholas Contompasis

Believe me, I take no pleasure in writing this article about the demise of Israel, but it now seems so obvious to the logical mind that the country of Israel will soon be discarded as an idea that just didn’t work in the high tech age of the twenty-first century.

With the past weeks of Islamic rebellion in most Arab states surrounding Israel the die has been cast. I won’t bore you with the now well known use of Facebook and Twitter to stir up the natives, but it will be these very social tools that will destroy Israel.

These very social networks that have toppled President Mubarak after three weeks will be used to send out a call, for example on April 20th for all people of these Muslim nations to gather at their Israeli borders. When enough people have congregated, like a mob scene from hell, millions will simply cross over the Israeli borders and overpower the country by sheer mass. Israel’s modern military will be powerless in stopping this wave of men, woman and children as they spread across the land like a plague of locusts.

By a very conservative calculation expect two million to invade from Jordan, four million from Egypt, two million from Syria, one million from Lebanon, the Gaza will have at least one million and the West Bank will send two million.

Israel, with its mere eight million souls will be smothered by an invasion of twelve million Muslims, fifty percent greater than its total population. This twelve million is only ten percent of the one hundred and twenty million that could potentially cross over into Israel.

Some will be armed, some will kill, some will destroy, but the destruction of Israel will be complete, leaving millions of Israeli citizens slaughtered in the streets of every city throughout the land.

The Obama Administration will sit on the sidelines watching while the second holocaust of the Jews occurs. They will again be purposefully, a day late and dollar short in condemning the slaughter.

The pure act of violence by private citizens towards a people who they’ve hated for centuries will be condemned by their Islamic governments but will be greeted with signs of glory for the victorious hordes.

Israel will be no more.

Savage-Nation Caller Cleverly Connects the Obama-Soros Overthrow of Mubarak and His Plan to Overthrow American Rightwing Allies

The Once Great U.S. Economy Is Being Gutted, Neutered, Defanged, Declawed and Deindustrialized

Once upon a time, the United States was the greatest industrial powerhouse that the world has ever seen.  Our immense economic machinery was the envy of the rest of the globe and it provided the foundation for the largest and most vibrant middle class in the history of the world.  But now the once great U.S. economic machine is being dismantled piece by piece.  The U.S. economy is being gutted, neutered, defanged, declawed and deindustrialized and very few of our leaders even seem to care.  It was the United States that once showed the rest of the world how to mass produce televisions and automobiles and airplanes and computers, but now our industrial base is being ripped to shreds.  Tens of thousands of our factories and millions of our jobs have been shipped overseas.  Many of our proudest manufacturing cities have been transformed into "post-industrial" hellholes that nobody wants to live in anymore.

Al-Akhbar

By Nicholas Contompasis


As the children of the Pharaohs dance with joy in the shadows of their ancestors' monolithic achievements, the world watches and waits for the final outcome of this eighteen day near, bloodless revolution. The dictator of thirty years is now gone, leaving the youth of this ancient land leaderless and with a future full of unanswered questions and dangers. But, the promise of hope was there, and for most, it was worth the risk of demonstrating day and night, through pro-government attackers and the intimidation of a modern army waiting in the wings. This is the first time in Egypt’s long painful history that the people could finally see real freedom and human rights, but like a desert mirage, I doubt it……..

Spreading Democracy Around the World Obama Style - By Destroying It

By Nicholas Contompasis
The Obama Administration is attempting to spread democracy around the world without firing a U.S. bullet. This regime is now running counter to decades of foreign policy supported by our military. In years past when a country ran counter to U.S. foreign policy we would invade or pressure with military threats like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Billions have been spent and thousands of our troops have been injured and killed using this age-old method of intimidation. Right or wrong this is the way most countries have nudged other countries back into line that have gone astray.
The Administration with the help of American union leaders and 501-c-3 non-profit organizations, funded by your tax dollars are right now causing confusion, chaos and violence on the streets of most major cities in Egypt. With federal funding to these organizations, they have, with the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other similar high tech social networks, connected with the poor in the third world. Without putting boots or should we say Birkenstocks on the ground this administration is surgically manipulating these oppressed peoples.
Just yesterday on the Fox News Channel they showed a video from AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka addressing the workers of Egypt and how he will always support them in their struggle for freedom against oppression. Also, on Sunday the New York Post released an article on how one of many non-profits that are funded by the U.S. State Department is attempting to use social networks to spread Democracy in the Middle East.
Of course, this is all well and good, but instead of spreading Democracy to our enemies, they're spreading it to our allies, leaving the leaders of these countries scratching their heads. The mixed messages sent to our allies in the Middle East now have them running to their central banks for money to quell the storm led by their naive, uneducated poor that are attempting to take them down.
A fact that has not been publicized, of course, is that Saudi Arabia issued the equivalent of $3,500 to every citizen in the country to short circuit any unrest after the Tunisian overthrow. It worked so far, but how long will it? Remember that’s where most of our oil comes from. Any disruption of that oil would send the price past $200 a barrel.
Nevertheless, there is a full court press by our State Department and Unions on the third world, and it seems to be backfiring on the Obama regime. He has let the socialists in our country loose on these unsuspecting peoples, with an end result that is leading to a disruption of orderly functioning governments in the Middle East. This policy of Tweeting and Facebooking to the youth of these countries can only cause more problems for these idealistic, easily lead young people.
This Obama experimentation on the third world could lead to more deaths and injuries in the region than the old method of military intimidation, and should be curtailed for the sake of even our stability.

The Bloated Pig That Teaches Our Children

By Nicholas Contompasis

Economic Freedom vs Economic Slavery Obama Style

By Nicholas Contompasis

Slavery in America 150 years ago meant, if you were a black person, you worked day and night for nothing, that’s right, no pay, nothing! Slavery in America use to mean the slave master provided your daily food and shelter. That slave master controlled what you ate and where and how you lived.That was slavery for the black’s brought in from Africa under southern white ownership prior to the Civil War which ultimately ended this heinous practice.
No man, women or child should ever have to experience slavery, especially in America. It seems that slavery is starting to make a comeback though and this time the tables are turned. With new energy regulations and ObamaCare the word slavery is about to be resurrected from the ash heap of bad ideas. If both of these bad ideas come to fruition, you the working stiff will become the walking dead or in other words “SLAVES”.
Why sound so harsh, because it’s true and as these two socialist programs take hold you will gradually feel the tightening of the slave master’s collar around your neck.
So, maybe it’s time to ask, what is freedom to you? The amount of drugs you can do or how many men or women you can have sex with? Probably neither but if you’re normal, you work, you have families and frankly you want to be left alone to raise those families. To be normal means you want government as far away from your family as possible.
Now, let me tell you what freedom really is.
Freedom is simple to define. Freedom is simple to understand. Freedom is simply the amount of money you take home every payday. After taxes the take home pay you have is what buys you the life you have and without that take home pay you are a slave. It’s that simple. As taxes increase to support a bloated government, the amount of your take home pay will become less. With the over spending the government is now doing, even the value of that ever diminishing take home pay will buy less and less. That is the tightening of the slave masters collar around your neck.
When these two programs mature, by 2020 the government that you would prefer out of your life will be so in your life they’ll be everywhere you turn. From the food you eat or don’t eat to the type of home you live in to the lack of control over even your own family. Your life will change for sure and by that time a vast majority of your wages will go to socialist programs that continually destroy the value of the country’s currency and kills the incentive for many to work.
This is what freedom is. This is what slavery is. Which would you prefer? Is this the New American Slavery? I think so……

I’m Telling You, This Obama Guy is Not Real

By Nicholas Contompasis
"Okay, okay, okay, I know it sounds like paranoia, but this President and his pronunciation of some English words are sending me to the dark side. Just this morning, someone called up a national talk radio show and revealed that our President Obama, last week while attending a function at Penn State, mispronounced another word. This time the word was nittany as in nittany lion, the school’s mascot. He pronounced it nittaly. Where he got the “L” from, I have no idea. It’s as though he’s never heard the word before. Nevertheless, this obvious mistake has to be added to his two other major mispronunciations of English words while giving speeches.
Let’s not forget about the first word he mispronounced, “Orion” when he was addressing a green company in the Chicago area in 2009. Then there was “corpsman” which he repeated incorrectly at the National Prayer Meeting in Washington last year.
Most American’s would blow this off as just a mistake, but people like myself, who’ve been around many from overseas who’ve come here at different stages of their lives to settle, can tell how long they've been here by their use of the English language.
Anyone who mispronounces as many words as this President and throws a baseball like he does, sure wasn’t raised in America, it’s just that simple. It’s as though he was educated overseas and sent here later in his adult life. He was book-learned in English but didn’t live around it, so that he could be corrected when he used or pronounced a word incorrectly.
It’s all very strange and keeps on pushing and nudging me into that dark corner of my mind where conspiracy lives, a place that this President may have been created."

The Democrat Plantation

By Nicholas Contompasis

"Many wonder where the mafia went from most major U.S. metropolitan areas. You need look no further than the Democrat party. Over past decades the Democrat-controlled cities of America have edged out the mafia in most areas of illicit activities. Prostitution, loansharking, drug trafficking and sales, money laundering, gambling, voter fraud, Medicare and Medicaid fraud, legal extortion and the rampant misuse of nonprofits are all now run or controlled by corrupt Democrat politicians from inner cities. The illicit funds they glean from these activities are all used to perpetuate this great cancer that is destroying any hope for the poor that are trapped on these modern day plantations."

The Obama - O'Reilly Superbowl Interview

Obama and Clinton Fund and Promote Third World Unrest

By Nicholas Contompasis

I’m sure by now you’re starting to wonder what’s going on in the world. The release through WikiLeaks of hundreds of thousands of top secret cables from the U.S. State Department, seemingly spontaneous grassroots rebellions sprouting up around the world and the confusion and crisis that they bring, one would think that the world is coming apart at the seams.
Well, it is, and your tax dollars are paying for it. Before I go any further it should be understood that political decisions are for the most part illogical on the surface and what does seem logical are usually lies. Because of these secret agreements and understandings, much of what’s been keeping this world buttoned down, is now being exposed.
Just this morning in the New York Post, Isabel Vincent and Mellissa Klein wrote in their article that Hillary Clintons U.S. State Department shelled out over $220,000 to a small non-profit in the SoHo part of New York City. Movements.org is using this money to basically start rebellions around the world using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, the usual suspects.
Of course, by now you’ve heard that former Weatherman leaders, Bill Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn close, maybe too close, friends of President Obama, fomented revolts in the Middle East over the past year by teaching local Hamas and union supporters how to use the deadly applications. They did more damage but we’ll leave that for another time.
One can only wonder how many other non-profits are being funded by taxpayer dollars to undermine the United States and for that matter the rest of the Western world. Isn’t this like taking a gun and shooting yourself in the foot, arm, and finally the head? One would wonder again, who would authorize such a thing and why? Is this an Obama end run around the U.S. military-industrial complex and the Joint Chiefs?
Many people laughed when an unknown candidate by the name of Barack Obama proudly stated that his occupation was a community organizer as he attempted to run for President in 2008. I’m sure that many who laughed aren’t laughing any more as they watch these seemingly passive high-tech non-profits stir up the caldrons of third world discontent and topple well placed authoritarians.
Now, back to the logical and illogical political decisions made to keep this world from rebelling against its leaders. To the average man or woman a politician or a country’s decisions must appear to be logical. If it isn’t logical the average person will question it. In the past those people that questioned the logic wandered around and occasionally bumped into each other sharing their displeasure, with no result.
Well, with the development of the Internet and now effective social networks the big question now facing nations around the world is “Now that everyone can talk to each other, what will they do with this new found power?”
That question has finally been answered with the recent developments in the Middle East and Asia. Along with the help of WikiLeaks, the unraveling of these complex global entanglements is eminent and the results could shake the pillars of most western countries.
In that now famous statement made by Jack Nicholson, in the movie “A Few Good Men,” “You can’t handle the truth.”
Well, can the world handle the truth when it’s finally unraveled? Time will tell.
Democracy, human rights and freedom are all noble causes, but all is not equal in this world. With natural resources and the world’s wealth centralized and controlled by certain powers, the peoples of the world, the once dismissed little people, are now on a head-on collision traveling at the speed of an electron with an outcome to be determined.
When these two forces finally collide in a colossal global fulmination, the world will never be the same. Of the eight billion humans that cohabitate our small planet, many could die or many could finally be freed from the shackles of lies, oppression and poverty. But if history is any indication, this could all end very badly.

Former President Bush Cancels Geneva Visit Amid Security Concerns

The Muslim Brotherhood Assassination Attempt on the Vice President Omar Suleiman of Egypt?

By Nicholas Contompasis
Yes, it’s Friday night and that’s when the media lets out the bad news. It appears that the new Vice President in Egypt several days ago escaped an assassination attempt that killed two of his bodyguards. Now turn the clock back to a few days ago when Mubarak supporters just happened to show up on the streets of Cairo and kicked the hell out of the pro-whatever anti-government demonstrators. Could it be that the thugs’ representing the Muslim Brotherhood botched their assassination attempt and the Egyptian secret police along with the disbanded police force went into the streets to get revenge? Now that makes sense, but you won’t hear that from any news outlet. Yet, all media has held this very important bit of news till Friday evening when it would have less impact in the West. Remember the Obama Administration is touting this uprising as a pro-democracy movement that he started with his speech in Cairo almost two years ago. For this uprising to be categorized as a Muslim Brotherhood rebellion would diminish Obama’s stature in the region and in the West. Not to mention this entire incident could be a deal breaker in his 2012 re-election run.
Have you noticed that the White House Press Corp has become impatient with the President for not being available during this critical time? They even went as far as to issue a formal request for an explanation on what the hell is going on. Well, it just could be that the President has been shooting himself in the foot this past week. With a Muslim Brotherhood’s attack on the duly-appointed Vice President of Egypt it has made his attempts to legitimize the Brotherhood look amateurish and naive.
While this President tiptoes through the tulips of his mind, the Middle East is no place to be practicing foreign policy. You either know what you’re doing or you get the hell out and turn it over to someone who does. To be very frank, as an observation, if you’ve noticed, this past week the President didn’t look so hot. He looked disheveled, confused and tired when making personal appearances. This whole President thing just could be way too much for him to handle.

Egypt VP Target of Assassination Attempt That Killed Two Bodyguards, Sources Tell Fox News

February 04, 2011
FoxNews.com
A failed assassination attempt on Egypt's vice president in recent days left two of his bodyguards dead, U.S. sources tell Fox News, though that information has yet to be confirmed on the ground in Cairo.
Such an attempt on the life of Omar Suleiman would mark an alarming turn in the uprising against the government of President Hosni Mubarak, who only recently named Suleiman as vice president in an effort to quell the unrest and possibly line up a successor.
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs declined to address the assassination reports when asked by Fox News.
"I'm not going to ... get into that question," Gibbs said.

Puberty and the Middle East Uprising

By Nicholas Contompasis

If you’re old enough to remember, back in 1969, here in the United States the median age was 26 and we had riots, assassinations, political turmoil and a crime rate that most thought couldn’t possibly get any higher. Since then, as our median age increased to now 37, our crime rate has tumbled, assassinations are mere talking points in history classes and riots, so far, can only be found on videos on the Internet.

Riots, assassinations and general political turmoil come with the territory when your country is young. It’s just a fact of life that most mature nations are forced to put up with, as they gaze from afar, hopefully. This pubescent period unfortunately, can last as long as ten years. The fallout from this turmoil can get out of hand and lead to major wars both regional and global, so these new developments in the Middle East are indeed troubling and should be watched closely.

The Middle East and North Africa are currently experiencing a prominent youth-bulge. An illustration of this bulge can be found in the median age in countries like Egypt of 24, Tunisia 30, Yemen 18, Turkey 28, and Iran 26. That leaves an average for the region of 25 years old. Contrast this with a median age in the United States of 37 now, which is on average 50% older than the now turbulent Middle East.

It all sounds so simple when laid out in anthropological and statistical logic, but people are dying and more will die before this period in the Middle East has had a chance to mature. Of course, we all pray it doesn’t kill any of us in the meantime.

So, if you’re wondering what it’s like to be on the streets of Cairo this evening, just jog your memory, if you can these days, and take yourself back to the streets of Washington D.C. Remember how you felt marching down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the White House screaming “Stop the War.” I do. Remember the youthful bonding that galvanized your emotions along with the thousands around you. Or maybe you were in Baltimore, Philadelphia and Los Angeles helping burn down local white businesses that charged twice the going rate for a loaf of bread, right after the MLK assassination. No matter, it comes with youth, the rage, the impatience and the demand for change.

Let’s all hope and pray that these days of Middle Eastern growing pains don’t kill us all before they pass on into adulthood.

Oh, and one last comment. Mexico’s median age is 27, so buckle up.

Is Obama Using Ayers and Dohrn to Undermine U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East?

By Nicholas Contompasis
Is President Obama independently using Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn to undermine U.S. Foreign policy in the Middle East? Is the President going around the State Department (Hillary Clinton) and the Joint Chiefs to personally overthrow Middle Eastern leaders that support peace and cheap oil? Is this a game the President is playing, to disrupt the flow of oil so that his supporters can make billions? These seem to be the overriding questions that are now rising from the dust of the Middle Eastern implosion. Both Ayers and Dohrn have been reported in the region influencing unions and activists for just such an uprising. Of course, they have also been involved with the flotilla that attempted to deliver God knows what to the Palestinians and Hamas in the Gaza.
Reports are now coming in that Ayers and Dohrn have helped these organizations to understand and work social networks like Facebook and Twitter to coordinate and direct demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt in 2009 and 2010. We have found out through Aaron Kline, investigative journalist and radio talk show host that George Soros is funding such operations. Let’s not forget that George Soros was and is a large campaign contributor to the Obama run for President and is still around spouting how he helped undermine small governments for profit.
As more information comes in, it seems that the West’s careful balancing act in the Middle East is being undermined by Obama’s Chicago activists who have found a new home in the Middle East and possibly could be encouraged by the President.
Much of this information has been out there but few have connected the dots until the last few days. One would wonder why the F.B.I., C.I.A., Mossad or the Egyptian Intelligence hasn’t stopped their activities. Could it be that the President has given them a pass to do whatever they want, even if it threatened the security of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt?
Spreading Democracy is a noble thing but not necessarily in the Middle East. Unfortunately, the yoke of Islam will always deter any attempts to free these people of the desert.

You Are Kidding Right?

By Nicholas Contompasis


You are kidding, right? You’re surprised that Egypt has imploded along with most Middle Eastern countries? Well open your eyes people. On June 4, 2009 President Barack Obama delivered what I call his “Third World Liberation Speech.” I know, you missed it, right?
Look at the timetable of this reversal of thirty years of careful tiptoeing through the landmine laden Middle East. This President knowingly gave false hope to the millions of oppressed people in the region and walked away. Yes, he dropped the bomb and walked out of the room.
President Obama’s message reached even into the theocratic state of Iran where millions demonstrated just eleven days after his speech in Egypt. That demonstration against one of the most corrupt elections in history went nowhere, with people being hanged to this day for opposing the results.
This President has absolutely no idea what he’s doing, or the power of his position.
Now, follow the timeline of events. After desperate appeals from the Iranian people for intervention by the West, he did nothing while they were slaughtered on the streets of Tehran. The rest of the region wondered what was up. He pushed freedom from oppression, but didn’t back it up when the time came. So, the people of the region sat back and waited for almost two more years before attempting a move against the police states that ruled them, thus, the current implosion and future instability of the Middle East. Thank you, Mr. Obama for leading these poor people into the future ovens of radical Islam. Your nonexistent foreign policy and amateurish stunts just could kill thousands if not millions in the Middle East, destabilize the region and cause a massive Exodus of millions of Jews to parts unknown. Who will take them Mr. President, you? I doubt it, if your past lip service is any indication.

Is the Conservative Side of the Supreme Court Safe With an ObamaCare Decision Looming?

By Nicholas Contompasis

Where are all of the political mystery writers? The Obama Administration has generated so much material for freelance writers; you could fill the White House from stem to stern. The mysteries seem to be everywhere.

April 20, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon explodes mysteriously and still without real proof of why and how. This gives the extreme leftist President Obama cause to close down all Gulf of Mexico offshore drilling and put a freeze on future offshore drilling within the continental shelf.

January 2011, the Middle East implodes tumbling most pro-western police states that have supported peace with Israel for nearly thirty years. This is interpreted by Saudi Arabia as a direct threat to its oil reserves that may fall into anti-west, fundamentalist Muslim elements. Anyone with half a brain can see that the Obama Administration has no foreign policy, which is now being recognized as a purposeful attempt to diminish the West’s influence in the region, thus oil.

March 23, 2010, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and President Obama pass ObamaCare that angers the vast majority of Americans and takes over nineteen percent of the U.S. economy.

This anger continues thru the year with a complete takeover by a right wing grassroots movement called the Tea Party in the midterm elections. The House of Representatives, most state gubernatorial seats, state legislators and a more balanced Senate was the result of this uprising.

With the continued friction between the President himself and the Right side of the Supreme Court, due to his misspeak during last year’s State of the Union, he is headed for a direct confrontation with the five-four right leaning court. With personal attacks on the wife of the only African-American Right-wing Justice, this only makes matters worse.

Now, with yesterday’s decision in Federal court that ObamaCare is unconstitutional, the Obama Presidency is now swinging in the wind and could be described as desperate and would stop at nothing to change the court itself.

Of course, this is where you mystery writers come in. Is the President that ego-driven, to violate the law, to get his way and save his Presidency? With the assassination of an Appellate Federal Judge in Tucson last month by a wacked out loner, who’s to say who’s next? The decisions that our high court will be making this year and next could either tumble or support the left-wing coup d’état that occurred in 2008. It seems that everything is on the line now for these misguided, disenfranchised Left-wingers as they watch their revolution smolder into the pages of history, or will it?

Florida Ruling Requires Government to Stop Implementing Obamacare

Borrowed from Cato - Thank you
By Ilya Shapiro

As I continue digesting Judge Vinson’s ruling, I notice two key things beyond the facts that the “individual mandate is unconstitutional”:

1.  In performing his severability analysis — determining which parts of the overall legislation survive — the judge threw out all of Obamacare:

In sum, notwithstanding the fact that many of the provisions in the Act can stand independently without the individual mandate (as a technical and practical matter), it is reasonably “evident,” as I have discussed above, that the individual mandate was an essential and indispensable part of the health reform efforts, and that Congress did not believe other parts of the Act could (or it would want them to) survive independently. I must conclude that the individual mandate and the remaining provisions are all inextricably bound together in purpose and must stand or fall as a single unit. The individual mandate cannot be severed.

The Islamification of the World and the North Atlantic Oscillation

By Nicholas Contompasis

As the northern tier states of the United States experience the beginning of a new North Atlantic Oscillation, everyone prays for a spring that may never come.
Historically, this oscillation can last decades and can bring bitter cold and snow to most of North America which has been experiencing mild winters for almost thirty years. With the cyclical cooling of the sun which brings on this effect, most of the United States could look forward to decades of long, cold, hard winters.

Like a gift from Allah, this weather phenomenon is playing right into the hands of the oil rich Muslim Middle Eastern countries. Many in the West have been lulled into the belief that not pumping oil off our coast and in Alaska is a prudent strategy to preserve our environment and natural resources. Their efforts could be called noble but most pragmatists are about to dump a proverbial cold bucket of water over them.

The facts are that this new radical Muslim movement that has taken over Lebanon, Tunisia, Egypt, and is spreading to other countries like Jordan, Algeria, Libya, Turkey and finally Saudi Arabia. This January surprise from the Middle East could cause the West to lose its chief source of cheap energy, forcing oil past $250 and gasoline to $10 at the pump. Heating oil that heats many American homes could skyrocket and cause many to die and turn winters in America into a living hell for many elderly and poor.

If Egypt is lost to the Muslim Brotherhood it will only be a matter of time before the entire region is dominated by anti-western governments hell-bent on squeezing every penny from its abundant natural resource – oil. Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood with its modern military could easily force the Saudis to fall, leaving them in control of much of the world’s available oil, a prospect that most experts have explained as a worst case scenario.

Egypt’s Suez Canal plays an even more important role now with most of Europe’s oil passing through it. The possible forced Islamification of Europe is not so farfetched. When the people of Europe are forced to decide between freezing to death and bowing to Allah, they’ll ask which way is Mecca.

In conclusion, Israel our last ally in the region, would be strangled by war and economic blockades that would force an eventual evacuation to Western countries, leaving the once brilliant nation a deserted wasteland.

The preservation of our environment and natural resources may be a luxury we can no longer afford. The politician that chooses oily birds over freezing voters won’t last long in this new North Atlantic Oscillation.

Israel's Netanyahu Fears Egypt Could Go Way of Iran

Borrowed from Reuters - Thank you

(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday he feared Egypt could end up with a radical Islamic regime as in Iran.
Speaking at a news conference alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Netanyahu said he hoped Israel's three-decade-old peace treaty with Egypt would survive any changes that were taking place in Cairo.
Netanyahu's comments were his sharpest since the start last week of a wave of unrest against Israel's most significant and long-standing ally in the Arab world, Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak.

President Barack Obama Will Be Remembered

"President Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who “lost” Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Iraq and finally the jewel of the West - Saudi Arabia.
President Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who gave us $250 oil and $10 gasoline.
President Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who didn't give a damn about our country.

'Mega Protest' Planned in Egypt

Borrowed from Al Jazeera - Thank you

Opposition movement calls for "a million people demonstration" on Tuesday in a bid to topple president Hosni Mubarak.
Egyptian protesters have called for a massive demonstration on Tuesday in a bid to force out president Hosni Mubarak from power.
The so-called April 6 Movement said it plans to have more than a million people on the streets of the capital Cairo, as anti-government sentiment reaches a fever pitch.
Several hundred demonstrators remained camped out in Tahrir square in central Cairo early on Monday morning, defying a curfew that has been extended by the army.
"It seems as if they are saying: 'We are here to stay. We are re-invigorating our movement and we are not going anywhere'," one of Al Jazeera's correspondents in Cairo said. 
Protesters seem unfazed by Mubarak's pledge to institute economic and political reforms. Our correspondent said that people feel that such pledges "are too little, too late".
Early on Monday morning, unconfirmed reports said the police had been ordered back on the streets.
"We are expecting a statement by the minister of interior about whether the police are going to return or not," our correspondent said.
"The absence of police has given looters a free rein, forcing ordinary citizens to set up neighborhood patrols. Many people are wondering where the police disappeared to.
"There are two schools of thought as far as the police are concerned: One is that many of them decided to join the protesters. The other is that the regime was saying to the people, 'You want to protest. We'll pull back the police and you feel what anarchy feels like'," our correspondent said.
A day earlier, Mohamed ElBaradei, a leading opposition figure, joined thousands of protesters in Tahrir Square.
The former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency told the crowd on Sunday night that "what we have begun cannot go back" referring to days of anti-government protests.
The National Coalition for Change, which groups several opposition movements including the Muslim Brotherhood, wants ElBaradei to negotiate with the Mubarak government.
"The people want the regime to fall," protesters chanted as ElBaradei walked to the centre of the square, holding hands with some demonstrators.
Jail breaks
The show of continued defiance by the people came on a day when air force fighter planes flew low over Cairo along with helicopters and extra troop lorries appeared in the central square.
As the protests continue, security is said to be deteriorating and reports have emerged of several prisons across the country being attacked and of fresh protests being staged in cities like Alexandria and Suez.
Thirty-four leaders from the Muslim Brotherhood were freed from the Wadi Natroun jail after guards abandoned their posts.
The protesters in Cairo, joined by hundreds of judges, had gathered earlier in Tahrir Square in the afternoon to demand the resignation of Mubarak.
Al Jazeera's correspondent, reporting from the scene, said that demonstrators confronted a fire truck, at which point army troops fired into the air in a bid to disperse them.
He said the protesters did not move back, and a tank commander then ordered the fire truck to leave. When the truck moved away from the square, the thousands of protesters erupted into applause and climbed onto the tank in celebration, hugging soldiers.
Main roads in Cairo have been blocked by military tanks and armoured personnel carriers, and large numbers of army personnel have been seen in other cities as well.
Our correspondent said that extra military roadblocks had been set up in an apparent attempt to divert traffic away from Tahrir Square, which has become a focal point for demonstrators.
"It's still a very tense scene to have so much military in the capital city of the country."

For the past five decades most funding to MB-affiliated organizations around the world – especially those involved directly in terrorist activities – has come from oil rich countries in the Middle East. However, Hamas, the MB Palestinian branch, designated as a terrorist organization by the E.U. and U.S., seems to derive large sums of money from the EU, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), of which the U.S. is the largest contributor. Individual countries also donate directly to the PA and Gaza (i.e. Hamas). The U.S. also aids the PA and Gaza through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Muslim Brotherhood Throws Support Behind ElBaradei - This is Not Good for the U.S. And Israel

Opposition figure calls on Mubarak to "leave today," calling it "non-negotiable for every Egyptian"; banned Islamic opposition party, other groups give ElBaradei mandate to negotiate unity government.

The Muslim Brotherhood on Sunday threw its support behind Egyptian opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei to hold proposed negotiations with the government in order to form a unity government.
Speaking to Al-Jazeera, Muslim Brotherhood official Essam el-Eryan said that "political groups support ElBaradei to negotiation with the regime."
ElBaradei, in an interview aired on CNN Sunday, said that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak must leave the country immediately.
"It is loud and clear from everybody in Egypt that Mubarak has to leave today, and it is non-negotiable for every Egyptian." he said. He added that it should "be followed by a smooth transition [to] a national unity government to be followed by all the measures set in place for a free and fair election."
Addressing Mubarak's Friday night move to sack his entire cabinet, ElBaradei said, "I think this is a hopeless, desperate attempt by Mubarak to stay in power." He added that it "is loud and clear from everybody in Egypt that Mubarak has to leave today, and it is non-negotiable for every Egyptian."
The statements came as protests continued in central Cairo, where tens of thousands of protesters were reportedly gathered despite an announced curfew and strong military presence. Fighter jets swooped low over Cairo in what appeared to be an attempt by the military to show its control of a city beset by looting, armed robbery and anti-government protests.
Minutes before the start of a 4 p.m. curfew, at least two jets appeared and made multiple passes over downtown, including a central square where thousands of protesters were calling for the departure of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Fighter aircraft flew over the crowd and almost two dozen tanks could be seen in central Cairo.

Egypt - President Sputnik’s Jimmy Carter Moment - Iran

By Nicholas Contompasis

With a full court press on President Mubarak of Egypt, by the Muslim Brotherhood, the mobs in the street have been looking for a message from God to fuel their anger against his strict rule. That message finally came yesterday from the politically dead Hillary Clinton. There’s no doubt that the angry people of Egypt would have loved seeing President Obama supporting their cause. Instead, Obama sent out his Secretary of State to support the Mubarak regime in direct contradiction.

Logically thinking, a fall of the Mubarak regime would lead to a major breakdown in Israeli-Egyptian relations and be a political disaster of the Obama Administration. The shutdown of Egypt's Internet and phone services had to be encouraged by the Obama Administration. The switching off of satellites comes from Washington, not Cairo.

This is all so reminiscent of the Carter Administration’s boondoggle of the Iranian Revolution in 1978 when the Shah was forced into exile and a primitive theocratic regime took its place.

There is no question that Obama’s foreign policy is lacking and has created a vacuum for other unfriendly forces to take our place. Obama’s signaling to our allies two years ago, that the U.S. won’t be there if the people rebel against you, has caused a complete breakdown of U.S. global influence and is adding fuel to an eventual religious war against non-Muslim religions.

The domino's are falling in the Middle East and they’re not falling in our direction. The world is watching President Sputnik, what will you do? As you gaze at your unearned Nobel Peace Prize, are you worthy?

Beware of the Islamic Monster That Will Rise from the Ashes of an Imploding Middle East

By Nicholas Contompasis

Make no mistake about it; what’s going on, this very second, in every Middle Eastern country is not good. At first blush the hopes and dreams of all peoples of the world wish these long oppressed countries good luck, but the odds are against them historically. This region has long been controlled by dictators and police states that have brutalized their people. The list is long and the death toll is even longer.
Both the Bush and Obama Administrations have encouraged Middle Eastern countries to adopt more Western ideals of human rights and Democracy over the years so as not to be blamed for the injustices their allies committed. Yes, it was lip service but it helped Presidents and Prime Ministers sleep at night. The takeover of Iraq and Afghanistan has given countries in the region hope that a country like the United States would be there if they revolted against their masters. That’s why President Obama’s refusal to intervene in Iran’s corrupt elections and days of riots was very disappointing on so many levels. His refusal just may have delayed the uprisings you’re seeing now across the region by two years. Nevertheless, what is taking place now has a double edg to it which could either end up destroying any stability in the region or be the blessing we all have been waiting for.

The current leaders of Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Yemen, Jordan and yes even Saudi Arabia have held a lid on human rights and Democracy for a good reason. They know that the real power and underlying force in their countries is the Mosque and the Imam that runs his flock. The Imams know that dictators come and go, but the mosque will always be there, and so will the religion and its power over the people.

For the West it’s easy to advise from afar, but when it comes to knowing how to keep order in a country and keep the radical violent Islamic movement at bay, only the current leaders would know what’s best. The lesser of two evils always seems to be our Catch-22 and we are always damned no matter which position we take in that part of the world.

Unfortunately, installing Democracy in the Middle East is like releasing a lamb onto a field of wolves. What a shame for these children of the desert who have long been mistreated and abused.

What’s so troubling about the past two weeks developments in the Middle East is that the possibility of a monolithic radical Islamic nation could form. It would be a coming together of all nations of the region that would be led by a strict Islamic theocracy similar to Iran, if not by Iran. The formation of this type of entity would be biblical in dimension and could be considered a step closer to a global religious war that would kill millions and solve nothing.

Who Murdered David Kato Kisulle? Hillary Clinton and Gay Rights in the Battle for Africa Against Islam

"Supporting gay rights on the battlefield of Africa's fight against Islam is like shooting yourself in the foot as you go into battle. In a more enlightened environment, one would accept such a gesture but against strict Muslim beliefs, it only throws fuel on the argument.

Murder of Ugandan LGBT Activist David Kato

Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
January 27, 2011
We are profoundly saddened by the loss of Ugandan human rights defender David Kato, who was brutally murdered in his home near Kampala yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and colleagues. We urge Ugandan authorities to quickly and thoroughly investigate and prosecute those responsible for this heinous act.
David Kato tirelessly devoted himself to improving the lives of others. As an advocate for the group Sexual Minorities Uganda, he worked to defend the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals. His efforts resulted in groundbreaking recognition for Uganda's LGBT community, including the Uganda Human Rights Commission's October 2010 statement on the unconstitutionality of Uganda's draft "anti-homosexuality bill" and the Ugandan High Court's January 3 ruling safeguarding all Ugandans' right to privacy and the preservation of human dignity. His tragic death underscores how critical it is that both the government and the people of Uganda, along with the international community, speak out against the discrimination, harassment, and intimidation of Uganda's LGBT community, and work together to ensure that all individuals are accorded the same rights and dignity to which each and every person is entitled.
Everywhere I travel on behalf of our country, I make it a point to meet with young people and activists -- people like David -- who are trying to build a better, stronger future for their societies. I let them know that America stands with them, and that their ideas and commitment are indispensible to achieving the progress we all seek.
This crime is a reminder of the heroic generosity of the people who advocate for and defend human rights on behalf of the rest of us -- and the sacrifices they make. And as we reflect on his life, it is also an occasion to reaffirm that human rights apply to everyone, no exceptions, and that the human rights of LGBT individuals cannot be separated from the human rights of all persons.
Our ambassadors and diplomats around the world will continue to advance a comprehensive human rights policy, and to stand with those who, with their courage, make the world a more just place where every person can live up to his or her God-given potential. We honor David’s legacy by continuing the important work to which he devoted his life.

SEIU Union Official Found Dead in Oakland California Home

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

The political director of SEIU Local 616 was found dead Tuesday in his West Oakland home, the victim of a homicide, police said.
The body of Berresford "Berry" Bingham, 64, was discovered inside his home on the 500 block of Henry Street, off Seventh Street a block from the West Oakland BART Station, at about 11:35 a.m., said Officer Holly Joshi, an Oakland police spokeswoman. He was found after co-workers, concerned that they had not heard from him in several days, asked police to check on his welfare, police said.
There were signs of trauma to the body, but the cause of death has not been determined pending an autopsy today by the Alameda County coroner, authorities said.
No arrests have been made.
Bingham, known to friends as "Berry B.," served as the political director of Local 616 of the Service Employees International Union, which represents 14,000 public sector professional, clerical and technical employees of Alameda County and Alameda County Medical Center. It also represents county-funded home care workers and child care providers.
Bingham, a father of three, had previously served on the Alameda school board.

Could it be That the Tea Party Has Stopped Rahm Emanual in His Tracks?

"The Illinois appellate court which is dominated by democrat operatives just could be influenced by the weakening of the Obama Administration after the midterm elections.

Millions are on the line for Rahm who has racked up over $10,000,000 in campaign contributions. He would have to return that money if he is not successful in being placed on the ballot. Also, let's not forget the many secret's of the former Mayor and Obama that must be kept in the closet or somebody could go to jail.

Rahm Emanuel has two legal issues looming large for Supreme Court
He wants to stop election officials from printing ballots without his name and to persuade the state's highest court to restore his candidacy
Rahm Emanuel faces a double-barreled legal problem just days before voting begins in the Chicago mayoral race — stopping election officials from printing ballots without his name and persuading the state's highest court to restore his candidacy.
Hours after an Appellate Court decision removed him from the Feb. 22 election, lawyers for Emanuel late Monday asked the Illinois Supreme Court to stay that ruling while they prepare an appeal to make the case that Chicagoans should have a chance to vote for the former White House chief of staff.
Though the issue of whether Emanuel properly met a one-year residency requirement to run for mayor was always destined to come before the high court, he now goes to that seven-member forum in a weakened posture, carrying the weight of trying to prove the Appellate Court wrong. Traditionally, the state's highest court has shied away from local candidacy and residency election issues.
"We're ready to go on a very fast track," Emanuel attorney Kevin Forde said.

The assessment comes in a letter from Gen. David Petraeus to the troops Tuesday, ahead of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
Petraeus says in the letter that troops will have to hold onto progress made in Taliban strongholds in the south while working to reverse insurgent advances in the north and northeast.
He praises security gains in the capital, but says they will need to be expanded into neighboring provinces.
Progress is being watched closely, as Obama has said he hopes to begin drawing down U.S. troops in July.

"The Rose of Democracy is Surrounded by a Sea of Arab Shit." Lebanon Ready to Explode

By Nicholas Contompasis

"The Rose of Democracy is surrounded by a sea of Arab shit."

Hariri backers call "day of anger."
The nomination of Hezbollah's candidate for Lebanon's prime minister has drawn the ire of the caretaker PM's.
Saad Hariri's supporters have termed Hezbollah's efforts to form a government a "coup."
Supporters of Saad Hariri, Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, have called for a day of anger in protest against Hezbollah's nomination of a candidate for the post of prime minister, a move that brings the group one step closer to controlling the government.
Protests had earlier erupted in Sunni Muslim regions across Lebanon against the nomination of Najid Mikati, a billionaire businessman, as Hezbollah's favoured candidate to be the next prime minister on Monday.
Hezbollah, which draws its support mainly from Lebanon's Shia Muslim community, has a powerful military wing as well as a parliamentary faction.
The decision by Hezbollah comes at the beginning of consultations headed by Michel Suleiman, the president, with parliamentary groups on appointing a new prime minister, after the group brought down the unity government earlier this month.
"It's Mikati for sure," Walid Jumblatt, leader of Lebanon's Druze community, who last week became allied with Hezbollah, told the AFP news agency.

Egypt Ready to Explode

Borrowed from the BBC - Thank you

Anti-government activists in Egypt are preparing for a rare day of protest, inspired by the recent political upheaval in Tunisia.
Organisers have called for a "day of revolt against torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment".
But the government has warned they face arrest and is calling its supporters out in a counter-demonstration.
Weeks of unrest in Tunisia eventually toppled President Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia earlier this month.
The events in Cairo are being co-ordinated on a Facebook page - tens of thousands of supporters have clicked on the page to say they will take part.
"Our protest on the 25th is the beginning of the end," Reuters quoted the organisers as saying.
"It is the end of silence, acquiescence and submission to what is happening in our country. It will be the start of a new page in Egypt's history - one of activism and demanding our rights."
The BBC's Jon Leyne in Cairo says event is a direct response to the campaign that ousted President Ben Ali of Tunisia, in which the internet also played an important part.
But there is bound to be scepticism about exactly how many will actually turn up, say our correspondent.

Private Spy Ring Competes With C.I.A. - A Shadow Unbridled Intelligence Agency - Why Not?

By Nicholas Contompasis

"The cowboys have found a home and just could do the job better than the over scrutinized, over politicked C.I.A. There could be many problems with this, but for now they seem to be on our side. The world is getting more and more complex.

When U.S. Said No, Private Spy Ring Fed Bloggers Instead

By Spencer Ackerman Borrowed from Wired - Thank you

Last May, author Brad Thor published a shocking report on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website claiming that Pakistani authorities had captured Taliban leader Mullah Omar. Other reporters didn’t bite on the story, which Thor attributed to “key intelligence sources in Afghanistan and Pakistan.” Those sources, if a New York Times piece is correct, are the remnants of an off-the-books spy operation that the Pentagon shut down last year, now funded by entirely private cash.

Chinese Pianist Plays Anti-American Tune at White House US Humiliated in Eyes of Chinese

By Matthew Robertson - Thank you

Lang Lang, a Chinese pianist, plays the piano at the White House on Jan. 19, 2011. The music he is playing is the theme song from an anti-American propaganda movie about the Korean War. (Screenshot from Youtube)
Lang Lang the pianist says he chose it. Chairman Hu Jintao recognized it as soon as he heard it. Patriotic Chinese Internet users were delighted as soon as they saw the videos online. Early morning TV viewers in China knew it would be played an hour or two beforehand. At the White House State dinner on Jan. 19, about six minutes into his set, Lang Lang began tapping out a famous anti-American propaganda melody from the Korean War: the theme song to the movie “Battle on Shangganling Mountain.”
The film depicts a group of “People’s Volunteer Army” soldiers who are first hemmed in at Shanganling (or Triangle Hill) and then, when reinforcements arrive, take up their rifles and counterattack the U.S. military “jackals.”
The movie and the tune are widely known among Chinese, and the song has been a leading piece of anti-American propaganda by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for decades. CCP propaganda has always referred to the Korean War as the “movement to resist America and help [North] Korea.” The message of the propaganda is that the United States is an enemy—in fighting in the Korean War the United States’ real goal was said to be to invade and conquer China. The victory at Triangle Hill was promoted as a victory over imperialists.

The Third World is Imploding - Another Wall Street Dividend

By Nicholas Contompasis

"You cannot deleverage trillions of dollars globally without dire consequences. The problems of Wall Street are now the problems of tin horn police states and fledgling governments around the world. Tunisia, Algeria, Yemen, Jordan, Pakistan, Albania and many more countries that survive on a paper thin existence are starting to crumble under the weight of higher commodity costs and creeping inflation. Also, lets not forget the promise of a better life offered on the Internet from the West, to the people of these poor third world countries.
They're angry and getting angrier as more of these countries see more demonstrations and riots. The chances of these countries self-correcting is an impossibility, unfortunately.
Many will die. Anarchy and violence will rule till someone or country steps in to save them from themselves.
The West keeps printing money to quell the storm in their countries. So, who will print the money to stop the third world from imploding, which seems to be right on schedule?"

Al-Jazeera Releases "The Palestine Papers": Thousands Of Documents Detailing A Decade Of Secret Israeli Palestinian Negotiations

By Tyler Durden on 01/23/2011 17:00 -0500 - Thank you

Al-Jazeera has released thousands of previously classified documents which due to their content will likely bring the already sensitive situation in the Middle East to a boil once again. While the document progenitor could well be Wikileaks, the TV network refuses to disclose the source: "Because of the sensitive nature of these documents, Al Jazeera will not reveal the source(s) or detail how they came into our possession. We have taken great care over an extended period of time to assure ourselves of their authenticity." As for what is contained: "The material is voluminous and detailed; it provides an unprecedented look inside the continuing negotiations involving high-level American, Israeli, and Palestinian Authority officials." Apparently, the disclosure is so sensitive that the ISP of the Palestinian authority has just blocked the Aljazeera site containing the early releases. We look forward to reading the documents as they are released between January 23 and 26. Judging by the prompt retaliation they will be worth the read: according to the Palestinian Authority, Al-Jazeera has just declared was on Palestinians, which intuitively makes little sense.

A Quick Illustration of Why most States are Doomed Financially

By REUVEN BLAU
Last Updated: 7:04 AM, January 23, 2011
No wonder the state Of New York has a $10 billion budget deficit.
The number of retired state employees pulling down pensions of more than $100,000 surged a startling 43 percent last year, from 1,059 in 2009 to 1,513, according to the state Comptroller's Office.
"This is like hitting the lottery -- virtually nobody in the private sector has a guaranteed six-figure income with health benefits," said E.J. McMahon, a senior fellow with the Manhattan Institute think tank.
Four of the retirees make more than $200,000 annually, according to documents obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request.
All told, the six-figure pensioners cost taxpayers $123 million a year.
The spike in the $100,000-plus club is partially due to 6,372 employees who raced to take advantage of the state's early-retirement incentive offered by Gov. David Paterson's administration in an attempt to save $95 million this year.
The early-retirement sweetener usually goes to state workers who were planning to retire anyway, raising long-term pension expenses, fiscal watchdogs and government insiders say.
Between 1983 and 2002, state lawmakers approved 10 early-retirement bills, according to the Empire Center for New York State Policy. The most recent, in 2002, attracted 5,562 employees and added $249 million in pension costs over five years, the center said.
"The system is just completely out of line with reality," McMahon said.
At the state's largest pension system, employees contributed $284 million while state taxpayers shelled out $2.3 billion in payouts to retirees in fiscal year 2010, according to the Empire Center.
About one out of every seven cops and firefighters from the suburbs and upstate municipalities who retired last year is receiving a six-figure state pension, according to data compiled by the Empire Center. That's because they are paid high salaries, and often pad their pensions by putting in huge amounts of overtime in their final years.

The Ethnic-Cleansing of Christians and Jews in the Middle-East

By Nicholas Contompasis
 
"The killing of Christians in Egypt this past Christmas by al-Qaida should be looked on as an attack on all Christians by one of the many Muslim led expansionists groups. Al-Qaida now blamed for this attack, based in Gaza, should be evidence enough that Gaza is out of control and should be classified as a terrorist haven with connections to Iran and now al-Qaida. The United Nations is always so quick to condemn Israel for any attempt to stop military and terrorist contraband, yet this evidence should help justify Israel's efforts.
The export of terror from Gaza to Egypt is a first that should not be overlooked. Most that goes on in this region is usually led by Iran. Any connection between Iran and al-Qaida would be a clear indication that Iran should be targeted as part of al-Qaida's global terrorist efforts, thus adding further justification of a NATO attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.
In the meantime Christians and Jews in the Middle East continue to be slaughtered and edged out of the region by a systematic ethnic-cleansing that the Western press chooses to ignore. Like many have said "political correctness will be the death of us all."


Egypt: Militant group in Gaza behind church attack

CAIRO -- An al-Qaida-linked group in Gaza was behind the New Year's Day suicide bombing that killed 21 Christians and wounded about a hundred outside a church in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, the country's interior minister announced Sunday.
Habib al-Adly said the shadowy, Gaza-based Army of Islam in Gaza was behind the attack, which sparked three days of Christian rioting in Cairo and several other cities. It was the deadliest attack against Christians in Egypt in more than a decade.
Security officials said an unspecified number of people have been detained in connection with the bombing but gave no more details. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information with the media.
The Army of Islam is thought to have participated in the kidnappings of Israeli soldier Sgt. Gilad Schalit in 2006 and BBC journalist Alan Johnston, who was later released.
Late last year, Israel killed three members of the Army of Islam in separate airstrikes, alleging the men had planned to attack Israeli and American targets in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

Tunisia-Style Riots in Yemen -Now

Reported: 04:49 AM - Jan/23/11

Drawing inspiration from the revolt in Tunisia, thousands of Yemenis fed up with their president's 32-year rule demanded his ouster Saturday in a noisy demonstration that appeared to be the first large-scale public challenge to the leader.
 
Clashes also broke out Saturday in Algeria, as opposition activists there tried to copy the tactics of their Tunisian neighbors, who forced their longtime leader to flee the country more than a week ago. The protests in Yemen appeared to be the first of their kind. The nation's 23 million citizens have many grievances: they are the poorest people in the Arab world, the government is widely seen as corrupt and is reviled for its alliance with the United States in fighting al-Qaeda, there are few political freedoms and the country is rapidly running out of water.

$1 Billion Home - Russia's Own WikiLeaks Exposes Putin's Vast Wealth - Will the Russian People Rebel?

Borrowed from the Moscow Times - Thank you
By Olga Razumovskaya

A new web site striving to become Russia's answer to WikiLeaks became an online hit this week with the publication of the first photographs of a luxury mansion linked to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
No proof exists that the mansion in the pictures is really Putin's, a residence that RuLeaks.net says was built on the Black Sea at a cost of $1 billion for the prime minister's personal use.
But RuLeaks' apparently exclusive photos have paid off handsomely for the team behind the web site, which refers to itself as "The Anonymous" but actually consists mainly of members of the Pirate Party of Russia, a group that opposes copyright laws.
Since the photos were released Tuesday, the site's traffic has soared by 10 times to about 80,000 hits per day, according to RuLeaks' own statistics.
The site's team promised that the mansion photos were only the beginning.
“Never keep quiet! Be afraid of nothing!” the team said in an e-mailed reply to questions from The Moscow Times. “In the time of total lies one word of truth can conquer the whole world. … History is happening before our eyes. An ocean of opportunities lies before us."

Keith Olbermann Leaving MSNBC, Ends `Countdown'

Borrowed from The Associated Press - Thank you

NEW YORK -- Keith Olbermann is leaving MSNBC and has announced that Friday's "Countdown" show will be his last.
MSNBC issued a statement Friday that it had ended its contract with the the controversial host, with no further explanation. Olbermann hosted the network's top-rated show, but his combative liberal opinions often made him a target of critics.
Olbermann did not say why he was leaving.
He was suspended without pay from the network for two days in November for donating to three Democratic candidates, which violated NBC News' policy on political donations. Olbermann complained that he was being punished for mistakenly violating an inconsistently applied rule that he had known nothing about.
The host apologized to fans - but not to the network.

Secret U.S. War Plan That Can Disable a Country By Remote Control - Who Needs Nukes

Borrowed from David Axe from Wired - Thank you

When China’s stealth-fighter prototype took to the air two weeks ago, it intensified what was already aheated debate in Washington over which, and how many, new fighter planes to buy.
Lost in all this noise was the U.S. Navy’s real plan for winning any future air war with China or another big baddie. Rather than going toe-to-toe with J-20s and other enemy jets, the Navy is planning to attack its rivals where they’re most vulnerable: in the electromagnetic spectrum.
The frontline weapon for this electronic war is a new airborne jamming system currently in development. The Next Generation Jammer should allow the Navy to blind the enemy’s radars, disrupt its communications and slip malicious code into computer networks.
The new jammer, and its initial host airplane, the EA-18G Growler (pictured), have quickly become top Pentagon priorities. U.S. regional commanders opted in 2009 to buy more Growlers rather than continue production of the F-22 stealth dogfighter. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced this month that he would accelerate the NGJ’s current five-year-or-so development plan, using cash saved from shutting down redundant command staffs.
Four teams are vying for the jammer contract, including Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, Raytheon and a pairing of Boeing and New York-based ITT. The Navy expects to gradually eliminate competitors until it’s got one supplier.
When all’s said and done, the resulting program could cost billions of dollars. The result should be what ITT vice president Ed Palacio calls a “highly modular, totally programmable” combination of antennas and processors that can be squeezed into the Growler’s underwing pods, as well as into the F-35 and future drones.
One goal is to simply replace the ancient EA-6B radar-jamming planes flown by the Navy and Marine Corps (with some Air Force exchange pilots). But that’s just the beginning for the NGJ. “Electronic attack system and concept of electronic attack has really evolved over years,” Palacio told Danger Room. “Initially, it primarily was a system to deal with enemy air defenses. But as you start going forward and realize the electromagnetic spectrum does many things … [so] if you build a system that can generate power and modulation over a very broad RF spectrum, it can be used not only in traditional roles, but inmany different roles.”
Besides radar-jamming, the NGJ should allow the Navy to disable remotely detonated, improvised explosive devices — something the EA-6B already does — as well as insert viruses into command networks, a tactic Israel allegedly first used in combat during its 2007 air attacks on a suspected Syrian nuke site.
Hints that air-launched cyberattacks could shut down industrial (and nuclear) operations could explain why the Air Force has been flying stealthy RQ-170 drones near Iran. The NGJ could expand on that apparent capability.
Never mind the F-22 and its admittedly incredible dogfighting skills, or the purported versatility of the newer F-35 in its fighter-bomber role. With the EA-18G and other planes carrying the Next Generation Jammer, the U.S. military will have a weapon capable of doing more than just firing missiles and dropping bombs. Anything that works in the electromagnetic spectrum — and these days, that’s almost everything — will be fair game.
