Obama’s Transformation is almost completed


But the results will not be what he expected

The American government has been infiltrated by the Muslin brotherhood which was formed in Egypt decades ago and this has created a major conflict. The Brotherhood are Sunni Muslims who are 80% of the Muslims and they have no love for the Shea Muslims who are less than 20% of the Muslims. The conflict that arises is that Iran is predominantly Shea and the Saudis and the ISIS are Sunni; and the more fundamental Muslims e.g. the ISIS want to reestablish a Caliphate which rules using Sharia Law. The problems that the Muslims have and therefore this administration has is that Sharia Law is basically what existed in the Arabian peninsula when Mohamed started the Islamic beliefs which made the then existing tribal habits customs or laws of the 7th century inhabitants of that part of the world into unchangeable religious dogma. Sharia Law is TOTALLY INCOMPATIBLE with Western Civilization and that is indisputable fact that even the American founding fathers including the Progressives favorite, Thomas Jefferson understood.

When Obama and his Progressive/Marxist followers started the policies of Fundamental Transformation of America they also believed that this transformation could be spread worldwide and since their handlers in the Muslim Brotherhood supported this view the Arab Spring was initiated. The Brotherhood wanted the existing leaders removed since they were not true believers in the new Caliphate that they wanted. I would not be surprised to learn that they also had an influence in the Bush administration for the 2003 invasion to topple Saddam Hussein; although I do not belief that Bush had anything but the best interests for America as he was not looking to Fundamentally Transform the country.

Off the subject but relevant is that the Cloward-Piven strategy is what Obama is using to change the country and it is, to first cause a breakdown of the society that you want to change by using it against itself. It this case to use environmental and social policies to destroy the middle class by making it to easy to not work and by putting so many regulations in place that the small business go under. I drive a lot in Cleveland and I see hundreds of abandoned buildings and store fronts in all parts of the city.

Because of the way the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports their numbers many if not most of those closing business to not show in the official monthly numbers; this segment has taken a large hit since 2007 and has not recovered. Neither has the good production section recovered and again a large percentage of the middle class was employed there. There are now (4,625,800) fewer people earning a living today in good paying jobs then in 2007 and the 3,816,400 increase in mostly lower paying jobs leaves a net loss of over (809,440) jobs.

To achieve this reduction in jobs the federal government, not counting the Post Office, has been increased by 8.6% or 168,300 jobs presumably these are mostly in Washington DC and are good paying jobs. So one could say that for every federal job created we lost almost 5 private sector jobs, and the transformation is not over.

As the middle class jobs are eliminated more goods have to be produced in China, India and else ware to make up the difference and that means more borrowing from those countries to pay for those goods and services. Since October 2007 $3,892,702,000,000 has been borrowed from these countries and when added to domestic borrowing the total borrowed is $8,437,873,000,000 more debt since then.

So one could say that to get rid of one good paying job we had to borrow $10,424,334 a good return for someone but not the middle class.

The reduction in jobs and the increase in debt is a direct result of the policies of those running the government as they try to move us from a market based system to a central planning based system. There are many of us that don’t think that will turn out well but the voters have spoken and this is therefore either what they want or they have partaken of the Kool Aid.

It cannot be dismissed that the Brotherhood may have contributed to this transformation but whether it was or not the transformation has been done and the result will be a diminished American economy and world presence; which leaves a power vacuum which must be filled to re-stabilize the world. The last time this happened was in the 1920-1930’s and that resulted in WW II. If one wants to look at patterns one would say that a major war must happen and that the most likely date is 2018; and it will probably be with the Muslims’ since this administration has given them the opening that they need. The Brotherhoods influence in our government makes it impossible to counter this infiltration without being accused of being anti-Muslim so the deck has been dealt and the cards are all in the hands of the players and its only how they will be played that will determine the winner.

But we also know that the Obama administration is severely deficient in the quality of the strategic thinking ability of its members so it’s very unlikely they can play their cards to a good outcome ….

As the Southern Border Burns, the Democrats Fiddle


More of the destruction of America

Posted Power Line June 26, 2014 author John Hinderaker

Immigration

It is hard to overstate the disaster that is taking place across our Southern border. Tens of thousands of Central American migrants, at a minimum, have made their way illegally across the Mexican border, lured by promises of amnesty, and no one thinks that they–the overwhelming majority–are ever going to leave. We have no more border, we have no more sovereignty, and this is exactly how liberals want it.

Washington’s leading voice on this issue has long been Senator Jeff Sessions. Vilified by the Democratic Party on one side and the Chamber of Commerce and Silicon Valley billionaires on the other, his lonely crusade on behalf of America’s workers continues. Today, he asked unanimous consent to pass two immigration enforcement bills. The first would make the E-verify program mandatory for all employers, clarify that federal contractors and agencies must use it, and allow the Secretary of Homeland Security to require “critical employers” to use it. This legislation would also have increased penalties for employers who do not use the system when mandated, or continue to hire illegal workers.

The second bill would have made it harder for illegals to defraud the federal government by requiring applicants for the additional child tax credit to provide a Social Security number. This reform would save the federal government billions of dollars as well as ending the current, absurd situation where the government subsidizes the violation of our laws.

But the Democrats blocked both measures. They like illegal immigration, and want to see more of it. Amazingly enough, Democratic Senate Whip Dick Durbin, once nominated by us as the dumbest man in Washington, spoke up in favor of defrauding the federal government:

If you have a minor child, you pay less taxes in America. What the Senator from Alabama and this bill try to do is to restrict the availability of this child tax credit to some workers in America. I think they’ve gone too far. I want to make sure that working families with small children have the helping hand of our tax code.

The “helping hand” consists of writing checks to people who are here illegally and who may or may not have minor children. They must think we are crazy, and I can’t say that they are wrong.

The ISIS Guide to Building an Islamic State

More Obama Incompetance


Will it never end?

It’s not some shadowy anonymous source from the peshmerga’s middle management who’s claiming this, do note. It’s Nechirvan Barzani, the Kurds’ prime minister. That’s the second time in four days that a major foreign official has accused Obama’s America of being a fickle, disengaged ally.

Thoughtfully considering the Kurds’ offer and declining so as not to get sucked back into Iraq would be one thing, but that’s not what happened according to Barzani. Apparently, we simply didn’t respond.

The Kurds became especially alarmed at signs that ISIS had already formed a shadow government in Mosul, weeks before initiating the carefully preplanned takeover of the city 10 days ago. According to the same Kurdish military sources it was accomplished with ease and without serious fighting after local Iraqi commanders agreed to withdraw.

The prime minister of the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, Nechirvan Barzani, says he warned Baghdad and the United States months ago about the threat ISIS posed to Iraq and the group’s plan to launch an insurgency across Iraq. The Kurds even offered to participate in a joint military operation with Baghdad against the jihadists.

Washington didn’t respond—a claim that will fuel Republican charges that the Obama administration has been dangerously disengaged from the Middle East. Iraqi Prime Minister al-Maliki dismissed the warnings, saying everything was under control.

The Kurds’ intelligence head, Lahur Talabani, says he handed Washington and London detailed reports about the unfolding threat. The warnings “fell on deaf ears,” he says.

Those ears weren’t really deaf, though. Remember, even American intel officials were sounding alarms about ISIS last year. Obama knew the threat existed. He just declined to address it, either because he thought there was nothing the U.S. could do to stop ISIS or because he badly misjudged the Iraqi army’s willingness and ability to repel the jihadis themselves. I’ve got to believe it’s the latter; if it’s the former, that America was powerless to damage ISIS, why on earth is Kerry hinting about U.S. airstrikes now when ISIS is stronger and richer than it was before? Logically, the time to start bombing was before they became entrenched in Mosul and started eyeing Baghdad, not after.

There’s a third possibility: Maybe O knew ISIS was a major threat, thought a joint U.S./Iraqi/Kurdish operation could do something to neutralize it, but decided he wasn’t going to get involved in Iraq again unless and until the country faced an existential crisis — and even then, he’d do the bare minimum. (Says one Special Ops vet of the 300 troops being sent in, “These guys are being given an impossible mission. What are they going to do? Host a dinner party?”) His genesis as a national figure was his opposition to military action in Iraq; he’s not going to spend his last two years as president cleaning up a mess he didn’t personally make, whatever responsibility his country may have had in making it. Except that … he did help make this mess, whether he realizes it or not. Read Peter Beinart’s indictment of O for refusing to do anything over the past five years to pressure the Iraqi government to reconcile with the Sunnis and Kurds. This is a guy who swept to office in 2008 promising that he’d use diplomacy and economic levers — “smart power” — to achieve America’s goals, yet when it came time to put a little diplomatic pressure on Maliki, he passed on every opportunity.

For the Obama administration, however, tangling with Maliki meant investing time and energy in Iraq, a country it desperately wanted to pivot away from. A few months before the 2010 elections, according to Dexter Filkins in The New Yorker, “American diplomats in Iraq sent a rare dissenting cable to Washington, complaining that the U.S., with its combination of support and indifference, was encouraging Maliki’s authoritarian tendencies.”…

The decline of U.S. leverage in Iraq simply reinforced the attitude Obama had held since 2009: Let Maliki do whatever he wants so long as he keeps Iraq off the front page.

On December 12, 2011, just days before the final U.S. troops departed Iraq, Maliki visited the White House. According to Nasr, he told Obama that Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, an Iraqiya leader and the highest-ranking Sunni in his government, supported terrorism. Maliki, argues Nasr, was testing Obama, probing to see how the U.S. would react if he began cleansing his government of Sunnis. Obama replied that it was a domestic Iraqi affair. After the meeting, Nasr claims, Maliki told aides,“See! The Americans don’t care.”

Obama even looked the other way at Iraq’s tainted election four years ago, brokering a settlement that kept Maliki in power while doing nothing to ensure that the secular Shiites who were supposed to receive cabinet posts in the deal actually got what they were promised. The next time you see him on TV wheezing that Iraq’s problems can’t be solved militarily but only through sectarian reconciliation, ask yourself why he didn’t give a wet fart about nudging Maliki on reconciliation until ISIS was at the gates of Baghdad. His disengagement made it easier for jihadis to seize Anbar province, which means we’ll be dealing with terror camps in Iraq for years to come. (Here’s a sneak preview from across the border, although there’s really no meaningful border at all anymore.) That’s what Obama’s “America is done with Iraq” policy has produced. We’re less “done” now than we were after withdrawal. Why didn’t he at least pressure Maliki to accept the Kurds’ offer of joint operations with Baghdad against ISIS when they offered?

In lieu of an exit question, read the entire Daily Beast piece on what the Kurds told Washington and London. There’s an interesting digression in there about Assad’s role in creating ISIS, even though they’re desperate to kill him and every other Shiite in Syria. Per Jamie Dettmer, Assad went easy on ISIS at first and focused his military attention on Syria’s more “moderate” rebels instead. His thinking, I guess, was that if the most insane jihadis took over Syria’s Sunni areas, the local Sunnis might conclude that rule by Assad wasn’t so bad by comparison. Or maybe Assad thought that the more ISIS succeeded, the easier it’d be for him to argue to the west that the Sunni “rebels” in Syria were really the same sort of Salafist cretins that knocked down the Twin Towers. Either way, Frankenstein’s out of the lab now.

THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE…….HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN IT?


If it offends anyone maybe they should consider leaving this country!

A. L. Luttrell's avatarARLIN REPORT...................walking this path together

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

When I was in the first grade we started each day standing next to our desk, facing our flag and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.  It was a tradition I recall that carried up until high school.  I don’t know why it ever ended, I don’t recall anyone ever being offended.

Today the argument against reciting The  Pledge of Allegiance in public is that it may offend someone.   Did you catch that, “may” offend someone.

Who does it offend?  If it offends you…..I would like you to reply/comment back, I would really like to know why.   I doubt I get many, if any, responses.

How many of our young people today know the words or have recited the Pledge?…

Obama plays golf while ISIS stands at Jordanian and Saudi borders.


The ISIS moves faster than Obama or Kerry

http://www.debka.com/

The Jordanian air force hit ISIS contingents, Monday night, June 23, as they drove into into the kingdom through the Turaibil border crossing which they seized Saturday, debkafile’s military sources report. The jets destroyed 4 Islamist State of Iraq and Levant (ISIS) armored personnel carriers, which were already on the move. Also Monday, ISIS completed its capture of the strategic Tal Afar and its environs in northern Iraq, capping its conquest in the last two weeks of Nineveh Province and Mosul, all but one town (Ramadi) of the western Anbar Province, and Iraq’s key border posts in the north, west and southwest. Jordan called up military reserves Sunday, after discovering that its capital Amman was to be the Islamist organization’s next prey.

Instead of making straight for Baghdad, ISIS turned west and south for what it saw as softer targets, deploying two forces for shooting into Jordan – one from Syria, for which they also captured Al Walid, through which to head into the kingdom from the north; and one pointing from Turaibil (which the Jordanians call Karame) and aiming for the eastern Jordanian towns of Zarqa, Irbid and Amman. By seizing Turaibil, the Islamists were able to cut off the main Iraqi-Jordanian artery for trade and travel between the two countries. They may have been stopped for now by the Jordanian air strike, espcially if there is a follow-up. Their capture of the key town of Rutba Saturday is seen by Western military sources tracking the Iraqi conflict as marking out the Islamists’ next target. That force split in two – one heading southwest toward the Saudi Arabia border and the other heading west to Jordan. Sunday, June 22, the Islamists put on the world web a new site called “ISIS in Saudi Arabia.”

debkafile’s military and intelligence sources report that the US and Israel have laid on a battery of advanced intelligence-gathering measures in the last few hours, including military satellites, drones and reconnaissance planes for keeping track of the Islamist fighters’ rapid advance. A 500-km broad expanse of desert separates the Iraqi border from Amman which would be no picnic for the ISIS to navigate without discovery. However, they were counting on al Qaeda cells planted in most Jordanian towns to help them make their way across. It is important to remember that the US and Israel are both bound by military pacts to defend the throne of the Hashemite King Abdullah II. As for Iraq’s southwestern neighbor, Saudi Arabia, our sources report that the main topic of conversation between King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi Saturday, June 21 at Cairo airport, was the Iraq crisis and the threat the Islamist extremists threat present to the two kingdoms.

The Saudi king made it his business to stop over briefly at Cairo airport on the way to his summer palace in Morocco, and invite the Egyptian president aboard his plane for that conversation. He wanted to hear El-Sisi promise to reward the oil kingdom and Gulf emirates for the generous financial aid they bestowed on him with a pledge of Egyptian military commando units to the rescue in the event of an al Qaeda invasion. Interestingly, the Saudi monarch’s companion on the royal flight – he also took part in the conversation with El-Sisi – was Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who five months ago was relieved of his posts as Director of General Intelligence and senior strategist of the Saudi campaigns in Syria and Iraq, the first of which failed in its goal to unseat Bashar Assad.

It looked very much as though the king had a change of heart and decided to restore Bandar to his inner circle of advisers under the looming threat of ISIS and its lightening advances in Iraq. That threat also drove US Secretary of State John Kerry to pay an unannounced visit to Baghdad Monday, June 23, after discussing the Iraqi crisis in Cairo with the Egyptian president. His arrival was accompanied by further rapid ISIS territorial gains in Iraq and actions to consolidate its grip. After talking to Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, Kerry said at the US embassy that US support will be “intense, sustained, and effective” – provided Iraq’s leaders came together to form a government representing the rival sects.

debkafile adds: Kerry canvassed Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish leaders for a consensual candidate to lead a government representing all of Iraq’s sects and communities. He had in mind a Shiite prime minister able to gain the endorsement of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani. Secretary Kerry planned to visit Irbil Tuesday for talks on this and on Kurdish military aid against the ISIS offensive with the heads of the autonomous Kurdish region. However the Kurds wanted first to hear what they will get from Baghdad for sending their pershmerga militia to fight the Islamists in northern Iraq. Since Maliki is the object of Kerry’s maneuvers to replace him, he is not ready to offer the Kurds any concessions at this point. So Kerry’s Iraq mission has so far struck a high wall.

The jihadi menace reaches a high water mark


Re-Blog from Power Line Posted on June 23, 2014 by Paul Mirengoff in Iraq

“From the ruins of the Obama Administration’s Middle East strategy, the most powerful and dangerous group of religious fanatics in modern history has emerged in the heart of the Middle East.” So says Walter Russell Mead, the distinguished historian of American foreign policy (who reportedly has said he voted for Barack Obama in 2008).

The fanatical group in question is, of course, ISIS. According to Mead, who cites analysts at the Brookings Institution and the Washington Institute, ISIS is more radical, better organized, and better financed than al-Qaeda. It commands the loyalty of thousands of dedicated fanatics, including many with Western and even U.S. passports. And it now controls some of the most strategic territory at the heart of the Middle East.

Given these advantages, Mead concludes that ISIS is “much better positioned to launch attacks in the U.S. and Europe than any of its predecessors.” And though it is preoccupied for the moment in Syria and Iraq, when the dust settles ISIS’s desire to attack the U.S. and Europe will likely be at least as great as that of its predecessors who did attack us.

How did ISIS attain its current status? It flourishes in Iraq because President Obama pulled our troops out. Without our influence and presence in Iraq, the military rotted and ISIS filled the vacuum. ISIS flourishes in Syria in part because Obama dithered (to use Mead’s word) over aiding its rivals in the Syrian opposition.

What can be done now? It’s not clear that anything much can be done in Iraq. Obama likes to talk about “exit strategy.” But the issue now is reentrance strategy. Obama does not seem to have left us with a viable one in Iraq. I assume this was deliberate. In any case, there may be no exit from our exit strategy.

What happens next? Mead says we should watch two developments. First, will ISIS’s momentum carry forward when it reaches the Shia districts of Iraq? It may. According to Mead, the “militias and parade groups currently marching around Baghdad and thumping their chests may not be very effective in the field, and it is not yet clear whether the Iraqi Army will fight any better on Shia home turf than it did in the north and the west.” After all, “the Sunni crushed the Shia in Iraq for decades and there is no law of nature that says they can’t do it again.”

But even if ISIS halts or is halted before it reaches the Shia districts of Iraq, it will still control a large swath of territory in Iraq and Syria. Barring a major rollback, the threat to the U.S. will remain significant.

This brings us to the second key development to watch, namely the political balance that emerges within ISIS held territory. Mead observes:

Tribal leaders, Baathist activists, other religious groups and their allies outnumber the true ISIS cadres by an immense factor. It is far from clear whether the rebel region in Syria and Iraq will be under one increasingly powerful and effective government or whether it falls apart into factionalism and internal power struggles.

For ISIS to impose real order and authority on the population under its military control, and to build up its forces from a guerrilla army to a force capable of imposing dictatorial religious rule on a large civilian population, would be a victory as difficult and in some ways more astonishing than the triumph of its forces on the ground.

Accordingly, Mead suggests that “the U.S. might do better to try to strengthen the non-ISIS components of the Sunni movements in Syria and Iraq than to look to Tehran and the Kremlin for help.”

Right now, though, it’s difficult to imagine that the U.S. has any credibility left with the Sunni movements in Syria and Iraq. We did, but Obama squandered it. Any fissure between ISIS and the Sunnis will have to increase significantly before the U.S. — presumably under a new president — is again taken seriously by Sunnis in Iraq and Syria.

As Mead says:

Rarely has an administration so trumpeted its superior wisdom and strategic smarts; rarely has any American administration experienced so much ignominious failure, or had its ignorance and miscalculation so brutally exposed. . . .

Six years into what the President and his supporters thought would be an era of liberal Democrats seizing the national security high ground from enfeebled, discredited Republicans, the outlook is much grimmer than the President’s team could have dreamed.

The jihadi menace reaches a high water mark

More on the Deserter Bowe Bergdahl


This is a re-post

by Jon Williams (www.IAmATexan.com)

As an Army Veteran who was working as a contractor attached to the 25th Infantry Division (same Division as Bergdahl) in a nearby FOB  when Bowe Bergdahl went missing, I feel the need to speak out on the situation (notice I don’t ascribe rank to him, I will address that later).
A few days ago, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel took the stage at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan and excitedly started with what he thought would be a big applause line. “We got him back!” he exclaimed.
Silence.
Not. Even. One. Clap.

Numerous White House leaks show that Obama and his team were convinced that Americans would greet the news of a returning POW with elation; that this would be the great moment in Obama’s second term. This shows just how clueless they are about the military. Let me clue them in.
You see, when Hagel took the stage, he expected joy at the announcement that one of their own was returned! However, you have to see inside a soldier’s mind to understand what was going on here. I believe I can provide a little insight.
When a soldier deserts his post, when he writes that he is ashamed to be an American, when he gives the enemy secrets (and he did), he is no longer “one of us”. He is a traitor. He is not a brother-in-arms.


Soldiers risk their lives for each other every day on the battlefield, there is a trust and respect they have for each other. For Bowe Bergdahl to break that trust and the Secretary of Defense to announce a hero’s welcome instead of a court-martial is a huge let-down.
He isn’t one of their own. He is one of them. He is the enemy.

That’s not something to celebrate.

The message the White House is sending is that they value treason more than honorable service.

Read that last sentence again. Let it sink in. THIS is what every soldier is thinking.

In a soldier’s mind serving with honor means finishing your tour, even if you disagree with the way things are done. All bets are off if you serve with dishonor.

I do not refer to Bergdahl as a sergeant, even though he received “automatic” promotions while in the Taliban’s custody because according to law, after 30 days his rank and pay should have been stripped from him. Due to political pressure, his was not. In fact, he probably has over $200,000 in cash waiting in his bank account. In my opinion, this money should be given to the families of the soldiers who died in the aftermath of his desertion.

Bowe Bergdahl deserted his post. He served with dishonor. I know that firsthand. Our soldiers know that. They know they risk their lives every day. They don’t get a hero’s welcome from the White House, they get fewer meals (due to budget constraints) and less safety equipment (due to the drawdown).

Let me be perfectly clear. A Rose Garden Ceremony, a “hero’s welcome”, and automatic promotions to a person that deserted is nothing more than a slap in the face to every service member who has served honorably.
That, Mr. President and Mr. Hagel, is why soldiers aren’t clapping and applauding for you. That is why you have lost any remaining respect from the military community.

What is the Obama Geo-Strategy


Very simple a diminished United States

A strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. For a Nation Geo-strategy is a foreign policy guided principally by geographical factors pertaining to political and military planning. The Obama Geo-strategy was to remove the United States from its world leadership role and make it one of many equal nations in the world; and by so doing the military could be reduced in size and those resources put to better use. This thought comes from the progressive view that the United states medals in the affairs of other countries and by so doing causes conflict that would not exist if our military was no bigger than anyone else.

Obama came to office with the naive belief that the rest of the world would change by his very presence, after all he got the Noble Peace Prize just for getting elected President. So what has Obama done to create this new world free of American Imperialism that was the core problem?

First he embarked on a world apology tour to tell everyone that this was a new America; then he cancels the anti missile agreement with Poland, then he cancels the US manned space program, he does not negotiate a status of forces agreement in Iraq; he does nothing with the green movement in Iran; he begins to cancel DOD advanced weapons programs soon after assuming office; he encourages the Arab spring; he ignores Iran’s nuclear program for all practical purposes; he gives the impression that he does not like Israel; he proposes major reductions in US nuclear weapons; he announces that all American troops will be out of Afghanistan in 2014; he does nothing In Syria or prior to that in Georgia; he was AWOL after the Benghazi terrorist attack, he has his EPA continue to make regulation that start to close down major sections of the U.S. economy; then he announces that the U.S. military will be significantly reduced and more military programs are to be eliminated.

Foreign leaders with real world experience see a U.S. president with no experience at anything but talking dismantling the US military as fast as he can. Further, Obama is promoting internal policies that will critically weakling the domestic economy by continuing policies that drive jobs out of the country and bring people into the country that have no skills or education creating a new dependent class that will require more resources be assigned to try and find some way to make these people productive members of society.

They see an opportunity to exert their influence to replace that of a declining United States. They will obviously take advantage of this as real leaders always do.  So it’s no surprise that Putin is doing what he is doing which is to attempt to reestablish the old U.S.S.R. as there will be no military action against him; since the EC has no military and is dependent on Russian e.g. Putin, for their natural gas so there really is nothing that they can do other than complain.

The Arab spring is another place where this policy has created a building nightmare. As all the old Dictators were removed from office internal factions that had been brutally repressed came out and Egypt, Libya, Syria and now Iraq with the ISIS are the result. Once set in motion by the withdrawal of American influence the genie is out of the bottle and there is no way to put it in back in. There are no actions that this President can take to resolve this and, in fact, it’s best if he doesn’t do anything as whatever he would come up with would not work and only make things worse. Neither Obama nor his wife nor Valery Jarrrett has demonstrated that they they have the intelligence or skills to deal with the situation in the Middle East.

To ask or expect that Obama could actually do something other than make things worse is being very naive after seeing what he has done over the past almost six years.

Going …. Going …. Gone


I agree 100% with this as it goes along with my work on the manipulation that NASA does with the temperature data. But the irony to this is no matter how much they play with the numbers they can’t get the temperatures up to where the climate models say they MUST BE …

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

Thirty-nine percent of USHCN data is now fabricated, meaning that there is now 39% more monthly temperature data reported than measured, compared to less than 5% in 1990.

ScreenHunter_605 Jun. 22 04.40

The fabricated data is warming 7°F/century faster than the measured data since 1990, when the data started disappearing.

ScreenHunter_607 Jun. 22 05.03

In fact, the measured TOBS adjusted data shows no warming since 1990. All US warming since 1990 is due to data fabrication.

ScreenHunter_609 Jun. 22 05.11

I am considered a heretic for excluding imaginary temperature data from my analysis, and simply averaging the thermometer data. It is now considered unacceptable by the orthodoxy to use actual measured data.
