Intentions

Over the last two weeks much has been written about the events that are unfolding in the Middle East. Much of what has been pushed out to the masses has been commentary and opinion not actual developments. Here is my 2 cents:

The matter of Iran and the nuclear weapon issue gets down to discerning their intention based on their actions. What they want is for everyone to believe their intention in reference to nuclear technology has no correlation to their actions and policy in actual experience in the Middle East and abroad. The lives negatively impacted in the region because of their funneling funds, weapons and soldiers in places such as Syria should be considered the exception to the rule. The same goes for their funding, weapons and strategic leadership to Hezbollah; yes, another supposed exception. The same goes for their … with Hamas and other identified terrorist groups. All of these we are to believe are the exception to their “noble” intentions. Yes, what they want the world to believe is that when it comes to nuclear technology they have no desire to develop and use it for military resources. They have no desire to make it available to Hezbollah, Hamas, etc. They have no desire or intention to acquire the “flaming sword of Islam”. We are to believe that the ayatollah – the chief ruler of Iran – has an ethical precept when it comes to nuclear weapons. (Mind you, not the tons of WMD chemical weapons in Syria’s arsenal. This they allowed to be after all who are they to infringe on a sovereign recognized nation?) No we are to disregard the current and historical practices of the leadership of the country and accept the warm smile, kind words and a promise that they have no intention to create nuclear weapons.

I have written it before but am stating it again – the current president of the USA is actively working a nuclear strategy in the Middle East that will make the demand that Israel must get rid of their nuclear weapons. The groundwork has been made over the past six to twelve months. The final calling line – If Iran is to have no nuclear weapons why is Israel allowed to have them? The political strategies the chief empty suit is trying to make into a staunch reality is one in which Israel will be positioned as a war-monger and in order to exist peacefully (wink, wink) they will need to relinquish much more land and authority to the Palestinians and scrap heap their nuclear weapons. They are being quickly corralled into a corner  (if not have been) that is of the making of Barrack Hussein Obama.

The events which are occurring and the way our current administration is engaging them is scary. We have a HORRENDOUS vacuum of leadership in our government – Wise, Ethical Leadership. And if I may take it even a step farther – Christian Leadership.

MEANWHILE,  in the USA’s MSM and the populace as a whole important matters have been relegated to the small font, less prominent headline placeholders (if even present) on websites and publications:

  • the NSA and government invasion of privacy across the globe the economy and the change of the norm for the average employee remains inferior and for many unacceptable and unsustainable
  • the mandatory national health insurance plan created by the president that is economically and practically unsustainable is uncoiling and coming to life
  • the almost complete erosion of moral principles, civility, decency and etiquette in society
  • many more things but I’m sure you get the point

rhetoric and reality

While AP and the WH try to create the idea of “oh boy you are going to get in trouble” vibe to Syria and the world with the latest rhetoric the reality is pointed out by Debka which is that the very same WH had the USS carrier the Truman leave the area on the very same day the sarin attacks occurred.

Again we are having the chief empty suit in the WH make comments similar to the familiar empty rhetoric of imaginary red lines when crossed that will lead to decisive action and the reality of nothing but shifting around and ducking follow up questions on inaction.

It doesn’t add up, but…

EXCELLENT analysis about the recent terror alerts by the USA government.

Debka is right, the pieces do not add up if the cover story is the truth.

I will put on my “conspiracy hat” and float a theory.

Theory: What if Israel has announced to the WH it is going to hit the nuclear sites in Iran and this is the WH’s way of getting USA people out before the proverbially fan is hit. Using this method it doesn’t provide obvious clues to Iran that the attack is imminent so that Iran is not on high alert.

Egypt, Iran, Benghazi & USA

In Egypt the frustration of the past year’s experience at the hands of the MB/Islamists/Muslim Extreme-Fundamentalism has resulted in the military, the temp government and the majority of the population putting measures in place to not allow the roaches back inside the house. Of course it is no surprise to those who have been observing that the USA’s WH is on the wrong side of the equation. O continues to do all he can as quietly as possible to block or at least hinder the safety precautions the people of Egypt want put in place. We need a way to speed up time so we can get this bum out of the WH and unplugged from the government’s vast resources.

The so-called moderate (which he isn’t) Rouhani of Iran continues the hatred out of the heart in spewing poisonous words about and to Israel. He claims he was misquoted, you read it and tell me the difference. The reality is though many will only read the new headline and take it as the truth; “see, he’s not so bad…” Of course all this time has allowed the ongoing production of nuclear technology. All this time has come via the resistance of the UN and especially the WH to act with military precision.

Meanwhile more is coming out about the whole Benghazi tragedy and how the WH again is on the wrong side of the equation. Complicit in the details and now complicit in the cover-up. No exaggeration – O needs to be impeached and pressed with charges. Not just him, but Hillary and others as well. The majority of the cover-up IMO is to attempt to clear Hillary so she can have as clean as a plate as possible for a presidential election run. Heaven help us PLEASE! O’s second term is Hillary’s timetable to rest, produce, finagle, arm-twist and raise money while her and hubby Bill’s network of resources do their thing to position her as the cream of the Democratic party. O’s job? Safety and Teflon production for Hillary.

Meanwhile in the USA the feeble masses have allowed the truths behind Snowden’s hard work to fade almost completely away from the national conscience and consciousness. These are symptoms of how someone like O became president in the first place. Here is the hard reality of the nation called the United States of America > people don’t care enough about the reality and direction of the country to muster an American Spring. The opiates of MSM, entertainment industry, pharmaceuticals and alcohol have created a pickled nation unable to concentrate or keep a clear thought. Stimulus is what is craved and once that stimulus is consumed, attention goes to the next opportunity of stimulus consumption. Stimulus consists of sex, violence, gossip/dirt, immorality, self-indulgence, gluttony, voyeurism, information and purchasing power. On the other hand, thinking, intelligence, reason, morals, ethics and values are minimized if not absent.

Egypt, Iran, NSA and the American Government

Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, the first senior US official to visit Cairo since the military coup of July 3, exchanged tough talk with the coup leader, Defense minister Gen. Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Monday, after he met interim President Adly Mansour and Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi.
The general frankly advised Washington to be more realistic about the situation in Egypt. Accordingly to DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources, El-Sisi asked Burns bluntly why the Obama administration backed the Muslim Brotherhood and appeared to accept an Egypt plunged in chaos and economic meltdown during Mohamed Morsi’s one-year presidency. Article here

Mustafa Bakari, an Egyptian politician, issued a brutal assessment of U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, Anne Patterson. Bakari stated, “In my opinion, she [Patterson] is a member of the sleeper cells of the Brotherhood, likely recruited by Essam al-Erian or Muhammad al-Baltagi.”

In a June 18 speech, Patterson made the following statement in a speech about the turmoil in Egypt:

“Some say that street action will produce better results than elections,” Patterson said. “To be honest, my government and I are deeply skeptical.”

Patterson, who is reportedly in line for a promotion as Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, has been increasingly viewed, according to Hudson, as the “key implementer for a policy that at least offers tacit support to the Muslim Brotherhood.” Article here

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told CBS News’ Face the Nation that Iran will reach the “red line” he laid down at the United Nations in Sep. 2012–90% uranium enrichment–within “a few weeks,” and that Israel will be prepared to act. “I won’t wait until it’s too late,” he told CBS News’ Bob Schieffer.

Netanyahu described Rouhani as a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” whose strategy was “smile, and build a bomb.” He insisted that Iran “stop all enrichment of nuclear material, take out the enriched uranium, and shut down the illegal nuclear facility in Qom,” or face harsher sanctions and, in the last resort, military action.

Thursday, the Egyptian military reported that a security operation carried out by the armed forces in northern Sinai in the past 48 hours had led to the deaths of 10 jihadists. Armed militants killed three Egyptian policemen in earlier separate attacks overnight.

Thursday, DEBKAfile reported that the security situation in Sinai and along the Egypt-Israel frontier is rapidly going from bad to worse. The Islamist coalition’s war on Egyptian police and military positions has gone far beyond the isolated strikes here and there reported by official spokesmen, DEBKAfile’s military sources report.

Hundreds of Salafist Bedouin, Muslim Brotherhood adherents and Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters from the Gaza Strip have joined forces to block northern Sinai’s key road arteries. They have stopped traffic to the Egyptian-Israeli border terminal at Nitzana, to the US-led multinational national observer base at Al Gora near El Arish, and to the big cement factory built by the Egyptian military in El Arish which is the region’s main source of employment.

By blocking those roads, the Islamist fighters have choked off the movement of goods between Egypt and Israel and placed 1,000 MFO troops, including some American officers, under siege.  Any vehicle driving in or out of Al Gora comes under anti-tank rocket fire. Flyers have been distributed forbidding locals to take jobs with Egyptian security forces or MFO.

The Islamists are now attacking Egyptian military and security targets at the rate of 30 strikes a day, traveling at speed between targets in minivans on which rocket launchers and heavy machine guns are mounted, or using motorbikes for raiders brandishing rocket-propelled grenades.  Article here

Collect it all:
In late 2005, as Iraqi roadside bombings were nearing an all-time peak, the National Security Agency’s newly appointed chief began pitching a radical plan for halting the attacks that were killing or wounding a dozen Americans a day.

At the time, more than 100 teams of U.S. analysts were scouring Iraq for snippets of electronic data that might lead to the bomb-makers and their hidden factories. But the NSA director, Gen. Keith B. Alexander, wanted more than mere snippets. He wanted everything: Every Iraqi text message, phone call and e-mail that could be vacuumed up by the agency’s powerful computers.

“Rather than look for a single needle in the haystack, his approach was, ‘Let’s collect the whole haystack,’ ” said one former senior U.S. intelligence official who tracked the plan’s implementation. “Collect it all, tag it, store it. . . . And whatever it is you want, you go searching for it.”

The unprecedented data collection plan, dubbed Real Time Regional Gateway, would play a role in breaking up Iraqi insurgent networks and significantly reducing the monthly death toll fromimprovised explosive devices by late 2008. It also encapsulated Alexander’s controversial approach to safeguarding Americans from what he sees as a host of imminent threats, from terrorism to devastating cyberattacks. Article here

 

2 cents:

  • Egypt: Hopefully the USA’s government will allow the government re-organization in Egypt to play out. Considering the people in leadership (cough, hack) in our government we should stick the sidelines with our mouths shut and eyes looking elsewhere (such as Iran or domestically). If Ronald Reagan was alive and was our president my diagnosis would be very different but since we have a…. well, let’s leave it as “unsaid”.
  • Iran nuclear aspirations: We need to have the IAEA approach the new government of Iran and see what plays out. Change in transparency? Nicer language and positioning but the same activities? Ultimatums need to be pocketed as well as any embargo-easing.
  • Domestically, the USA is almost a year into the four year term of the pathetic leadership (cough, hack) that was elected. Our problems/issues are numerous. The lack of wise practical leadership is massive. I think the question is how long can the country and its economy tread water? Other questions: Will the conservative, Christian people have a serious contender to offer up to the nation as a choice for the next presidential election? Will tangible positive change be swept into Congress? Will the people in the USA quit allowing themselves to be led by MSM and its hateful destructive philosophies? Will the concerned, ethical citizens of the USA unite and push for the much needed responsible systemic changes that the local, state and federal governments need? An American Spring?

Obama: Pro-Muslim extremism and the need for an “American Spring”

The corrupt, unethical & immoral presidential leadership of the USA needs to be rebuked and removed for its inability to behave in a ethically moral way. His – the president – MO of shooting off his mouth, getting in the way of historical allies, sticking his nose in everyone’s business while ignoring the substantial problems in his own country —- needs to come to an end. While it is true that his actual post is a reflection of the glaring problems in the society of the USA moral, spiritual and philosophical fabric; that should not provide him license to behave in the manner he has since winning his first election. Leadership should not be reduced to a benchmark of society. Leadership is suppose to lead and pull the organization/people up with them and thereby hopefully others who are watching as well. We have a leadership vacuum in the executive and legislative branches of our government. We NEED an AMERICAN SPRING.

Today’s Debka article summarizes two recent shenanigans of the current WH administration. Please take a brief moment and look at the reasoning behind the actions.

“To calm the tension, the US Embassy in Egypt said on its website Saturday: “We deny false claims in the Egyptian press that US naval ships are in the vicinity of the Arabian Peninsula and the Suez Canal to militarily invade Egypt.”

According to our sources, the US flotilla was brought in to warn Egyptian strongman Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and his generals that if they took their persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood too far, American Marines stood ready to step in.”

2 cents: Since when is corralling instigators of violence considered persecution? Since when is arresting conspirators of murder considered persecution?

“The Obama administration is signifying its strong disapproval of Israel and Egypt taking matters in their own hands in the last two weeks, DEBKAfile’s military and Washington sources report: Israel was accused of independent military action against Syria, and the Egyptian army of persecuting the Muslim Brotherhood after deposing President Mohamed Morsi.

Washington is also highly displeased with the campaign the Egyptian army launched after the coup, with Israel’s active support, to root out the Islamist terror blighting the Sinai Peninsula. US warships and marines are now parked off Egypt’s Red sea coast as a deterrent to the generals in Cairo.

For whipping Israeli into line, the administration used another method, i.e., Pentagon leaks naming Israeli air strikes as responsible for the explosions at the Syrian weapons depot outside the port town of Latakia on July 5, which demolished a fresh stock of Russian Yakhont (NATO codenamed SS-N-26) shore-to-ship missiles along with their advanced radar.
Although CNN ran this leak Friday, July 7, sourcing it to three separate unnamed US officials, the New York Times repeated the story Saturday and it was picked up by more US media for the third day running on Sunday.

Israel declined to comment on the report.”

2 cents:

  • When a nation is trying to address terrorism within its borders why would you threaten them? They are not arresting peace abiding civilians. They are going after people similar to the two idiots who terrorized Boston.
  • When your allies act on what they said they would do if advanced weapons were brought in close to their borders – since when would you throw them under a bus? Why would O object to keeping the Hezbollah and Syrian pro-Assad supporters away from advanced weaponry?
