rambling commentary

This week the WH of the USA has been scrambling trying to position itself in any way it can that will not appear that it wants to be a leader in the world. Krauthammer points out in his column this week that this continued strategy of the WH has made nations and governments that were once our allies now looking for other ways to grapple with the issues pushing in on them. It seems to me that the WH is trying to make allies of governments that represent some of the most dangerous in the world, aka Iran and Syria. Ostracizing Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Ukraine, Japan, South Korea, EU, Israel, Iraq, Pakistan etc. Central Europe is feeling the press of Putin’s Russia. All of these governments have been dealt icy policy changes from the WH. I realize no government made of human beings will be perfect but surely they can strive to be better than evil, apathetic, narcissistic, amoral, immoral and scandalous. It is a sad reality but in reference to the USA’s WH, no one should trust the current administration. No one meaning other governments and nations but also people like me, citizens of the nation of the USA. Their is a far left neo-socialist agenda in play via the current president which wants a world where all are dependent on governments because the infrastructures of society as each nation knows it are crippled or flat out destroyed. Of course these type of people will be free of the trappings of these degenerate philosophies so it is all theory to them. They won’t have to engage and survive in the new practicality of the destructive forces they unleash on society as a whole. This type of thinking is a cancer and in order to improve quality of life to the patient (society), radical dangerous decisions and actions have to be made. The society/patient may eventually survive but their quality of life is forever weakened. These type of so-called thinkers that institutions prop up and place keys of power in are sociopaths in suits and fine clothing. Well groomed, polished teeth, but beneath the clothes – away from the sight of eyes is disease and putrification. They are corrupters. Designer-diseased pathogens that have the looks of peace and well being but result in a “bad trip” and destruction of the host/society.

The wares being pumped out by the USA now, near future and the past six years are dangerous, destructive cells that allies need to avoid. This administration and specifically the president need to be managed and removed from opportunities of influence, power and infection. Mitigating the activity and crossing with the USA now and in the near future may be difficult in the present but it will ultimately be easier than having to detangle, disinfect and treat one’s government and society from the implications of allowing the relationship continue as it had in the past.

Bottom-line: nations of the world – do not engage with the government of the USA now and the near future. Citizens of the USA, don’t trust your government; it does NOT have your best interests and liberty at heart.

Propping up Iran’s government

It’s no surprise that Mr. Krauthammer sums up the recent agreement with Iran nicely: (emphasis added)

“The only reason Iran has come to the table after a decade of contemptuous stonewalling is that economic sanctions have cut so deeply — its currency has collapsed, inflation is rampant — that the regime fears a threat to its very survival.

Nothing else could move it to negotiate. Regime survival is the only thing the mullahs value above nuclear weapons. And yet precisely at the point of maximum leverage, President Obama is offering relief in a deal that is absurdly asymmetric: The West would weaken sanctions in exchange for cosmetic changes that do absolutely nothing to weaken Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

Don’t worry, we are assured. This is only an interim six-month agreement to “build confidence” until we reach a final one. But this makes no sense. If at this point of maximum economic pressure we can’t get Iran to accept a final deal that shuts down its nuclear program, how in God’s name do we expect to get such a deal when we have radically reduced that pressure?

A bizarre negotiating tactic. And the content of the deal is even worse. It’s a rescue package for the mullahs.

It widens permissible trade in oil, gold and auto parts. It releases frozen Iranian assets, increasing Iran’s foreign-exchange reserves by 25 percent while doubling its fully accessible foreign-exchange reserves. Such a massive infusion of cash would be a godsend for its staggering economy, lowering inflation, reducing shortages and halting the country’s growing demoralization. The prospective deal is already changing economic expectations. Foreign oil and other interests are reportedly preparing to reopen negotiations for a resumption of trade in anticipation of the full lifting of sanctions.”

So what really changed?

I’ve spent too much time this morning digesting the “news” aka “spin” of the “deal with Iran”.

I’ve seen the “historic achievement” called such by the Hussein Obama administration. I’ve read that “the West” has agreed that Iran has the right to pursue nuclear enrichment. I’ve read where Kerry says “no that is not the case, the issue was punted”. Israel in essence stating we told you he was brewing a bad deal and that the world has just become an even more dangerous place.

Earlier this week it was reported that the Ayatollah had issued his “red line”.

So what exactly is the deal?

The Geneva deal releases just over $4bn in Iranian oil sales revenue from frozen accounts, and suspends restrictions on the country’s trade in gold, petrochemicals, car and plane parts.

In return, Iran undertakes to restrict its nuclear activities. Over the next six months it has agreed to:

• stop enriching uranium above 5%, reactor-grade, and dilute its stock of 20%-enriched uranium or convert it to oxide, which makes it harder to enrich further. The medium-enriched uranium, in its hexafluoride gas form, is relatively easy to turn into weapons-grade material, so it is a major proliferation concern.

• not to increase its stockpile of low-enrichment uranium.

• freeze its enrichment capacity by not installing any more centrifuges, leaving more than half of its existing 16,000 centrifuges inoperable.

• not to fuel or to commission the heavy-water reactor it is building in Arak or build a reprocessing plant that could produce plutonium from the spent fuel.

• accept more intrusive nuclear inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, including daily visits to some facilities.

What does this mean?

1. MUCH needed funds are going to flow back into Iran.

2. Iran is allowed to continue nuclear enrichment.

3. The centrifuges that have not been assembled and turned on are to remain off-line.

4. The heavy-water reactor which is being built needs to stop. If I understand matters has absolutely no civil application – put another way – it is a military application.

The agreement is a six month document.

For a nation apparently desperate for funds, a six month pause is a wise course of action.

So what has actually changed?

They are receiving sanctions relief for allowing the pause button to be pushed.

A new coalition in response to USA removing military option from table

With the November 12th comments of Hussein Obama’s press secretary ““The American people do not want a march to war,” he told reporters. Therefore: “…spoiling diplomatic talks with Iran would be a march to war” – Iran, Israel and the world was given the subtle queue that the president of the USA had removed the military option from the table. Of course anyone who has actually been paying attention to the events of his administration and specifically – him – knew with reasonable certainty that they were not really an option in the first place. For those who were not paying attention the specific events and lack of backbone by the president in Benghazi and Syria SHOULD have made it abundantly clear.

With this backdrop reasonable leaders and their nations are scrambling to form a coalition to block if not thwart the USA’s apparent strategy. France is being given the option of aligning with the Middle East powers – Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt in effort to prevent Iran from realizing its nuclear weapon goal. At the same time Peres in Israel is trying to smooth relations between his nation and the USA. Netanyahu has tried to show the USA that its strategy is greatly flawed. Netanyahu undoubtedly knows that it will fall on the deaf ears of Hussein but he needs to go through the work so as to “cover his rear” with his nation and Knesset. As well I am sure he hopes to get this information in the ears and eyes of those officials elsewhere to boost resolve and maybe even add more nations to the coalition.

“Coincidentally” (I don’t believe in coincidences) Wednesday (one day following Carney’s remarks) news made it to my attention that Russia has agreed to help Iran build a second nuclear plant.

Hussein Obama’s apparent decision to prefer to align with Iran (told you it was coming) does provide Israel specifically Netanyahu with more freedom. Actually he had the freedom in the first place but making a poor decision to listen & believe Hussein Obama led to him staying in tow with Hussein Obama. Remember the next step in the diplomatic process will be the pressure and spotlight to be shifted away from Iran and onto Israel in reference to its nuclear program. It will happen and when it does the USA is declared clearly no longer an allied to Israel.

Odds and Ends

  • I find it interesting and telling just how the black/African-American population and MSM don’t lift up Cosby as a role model and guru for their people. Instead of the Jay-Z, Sharpton, and hundreds of hip-hop/music celebrities, why not Bill Cosby? Undoubtedly it has to do with his message that is often contrary to the poor advice, position and opinions of the black-celebrity majority. It seems to me he will get a headline reference once a year on a conservative website. I do not know if I would agree with all of his views but the ones that have made it to my awareness.
  • Hopefully the courts will side with the Fox reporter and put an end to the abuse of power by the law enforcement and government. It’s clear her source was accurate and she reported responsibly which is what a reporter is supposed to do. Seems to me that her source should be viewed as a whistle-blower and they need to be protected.
  • Apparently a lot of the reduction in personal debt in the average USA citizen’s household has been erased and the old practices depitalism are back with a vengeance.

France stands in the gap

Apparently France is the only nation which is trying to ensure that Iran actually had to make substantial actions to get any sanctions relief which is telling to the discerning reader. The implication is that the USA and posse were willing to offer sanctions relief without much actual actions from Iran just words. So in our wacky world it was France that stood up for the best interests of the world, Middle East and Israel. “French opposition was focused on a draft text agreement that laid out a short-term deal to slow down or stop elements of the Iranian nuclear programme in return for limited sanctions relief. The French complained that the text, which they said was mostly drafted by Iran and the US, had been presented as a fait accompli and they did not want to be stampeded into agreement.”

Again proving to Netanyahu, Peres and the people of Israel that despite all the words Hussein Obama does not have Israel’s or the Middle East best interests at heart.

If France holds out and an agreement is not reached that makes Hussein Obama and John Kerry look like great leaders and peace-makers of the world ad nauseam, that we will see growing pressure on Israel via two paths.  First in the Palestinian so called peace process and secondly for Israel to sign the UN nuclear proliferation’s agreement and rid itself of all nuclear weapons.

I think it is this second part which is key to Hussein Obama’s strategy to leverage/force Israel into accepting a nuclear Iran.
