The Left: It pretends to grieve, when it is sneering on the inside; it pretends to want to help, when it is really seeking to destroy

The Left: It pretends to grieve, when it is sneering on the inside; it pretends to want to help, when it is really seeking to destroy The Snake in the Bloody Garden https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2875684631297&l=22f13f7905 The left has a clearly defined set of responses to a terrorist attack. After all the hopes for a properly right wing terrorist have come to naught, it begins the long slow process of rolling back the laws and emotional attitudes stemming from the attack. For it, terrorism, like anything else, either fits into its narrative or conflict with it. The narrative defines the world, past, present and future, in terms of the political agenda of the left. An event that clashes with the agenda must have its meaning changed so that the power of the narrative is restored. Most violent attacks, from a street mugging to September 11, cause people to seek out security by combating the attackers. The left’s task is to shift the narrative so that people see it in an entirely different way. The perpetrators become the victims by the trick of transforming the real victims into the real perpetrators. The lesson shifts from going on the offense to learning not to give offense. The process is gradual and the playbook is infinite. Weapons of mass distraction are brought out. New villains are introduced and the emotional resonance of the events is drowned in ridicule. The tones are also many, from urging everyone to let love defeat hate to displays of virulent hate against the people “truly” stirring up trouble, but they all share a common agenda. Only the tactics vary. Unlike the right, the left is systematic. It studies structures and people and plots its lines of attack accordingly. It pits emotion against emotion and law against law. It waits for the initial shock to fade before launching its first wave of attacks over process. The left’s honest response, the one that shows up on its Twitter feeds and in posts on its own sites, is that the country is overreacting. Some leftists will even be bold enough to say that we had it coming. But its public response is more discreet. It exploits the grief for its own ends, diverting shocked city residents into interfaith memorials, some of which are progressive enough to include denunciations of American foreign policy and vigils for the dead on both sides. But even here, the left generally restrains itself. It waits until the weeks or months have passed to begin deadening the emotion surrounding the event with sarcastic remarks and jokes until the sacred becomes fully profane. It waits somewhat less time to begin lecturing the country on how our foreign policy made them hate us, knowing that in a contest between the establishment’s narrative of inexplicable Islamic radicalization for unknown reasons and their narrative of American evil, they have the upper hand because they provide a realistic motive and the establishment does not. Still this too comes later. The left knows that there is a window on human emotion. There is a time when people need to mourn and a time when they will feel a diminishing outrage and even begin to agree with observations whose thrust is that the United States of America is the real terrorist. And so there are things that the left will say on DailyKos and then on Salon that it will not say on CNN or the editorial page of the New York Times. The editorials explaining how a lack of American support for Chechen independence led to the marathon massacre are coming. They just haven’t splashed ashore in mainstream liberal newspapers yet. Timing is everything and the difference between the left of the counterculture and the left of the culture is that it knows what people will be willing to listen to and when. And it knows where to begin. Against the horror of the bombing, the left juxtaposes the horror of police state. It pits the fear of terrorists depriving us of our lives and freedoms against the fear of the government doing the same. And considering the history of government abuses, it does not take long for this line of argument to make a compelling emotional dent in the responses of even many ordinary people to the attacks. The left begins by raising all sorts of procedural questions about how law enforcement and the military are treating the enemy. It develops a burning conviction that our civil rights are the only thing about the country worth keeping. It hammers away at any law enforcement or military mistake, no matter how minor, and collects these together to amass a narrative of the police state. At this stage the left puts on a show of maintaining its objectivity. It pretends that it is the principle that matters, not the perpetrator and most of those gullible people nodding along never notice that there is only one issue and two groups of perpetrators that this principle allies to; terrorists and leftist activists working in support of terrorists. For months or even years, the left wraps itself in a Constitution that it does not believe in on behalf of those who want to abolish and destroy it. The attacks on law enforcement and the military prove the left’s core thesis that America is the oppressor and therefore deserving of terrorism. Whatever action, no matter how little, we take to defend ourselves proves that the terrorists were justified in attacking us. Even if all we do is lock up terrorists or shoot back at them when they shoot at us, the left will find enough grounds for indicting us as irredeemable monsters who deserve all that we have coming to us. The left doesn’t put it that way, of course. It begins by asking us to believe that the terrorists are not attacking us, they are attacking our government, even if they keep murdering people who are by no means in the government. But once we have accepted the notion that the terrorists are justified in attacking our government, the left is then able to argue that we deserve to be attacked because living in a democracy, we elect our governments. It’s a neat trap that the left uses to questioning government policy into supporting terrorism. That line of argument is cushioned at first. The left understands that arguments are won on emotion, not reason. It seeks out any family members of the victims who agree with its views and surrounds its spokesmen with them to give them moral sanction for their vileness. It emphasizes that understanding its theories is the only way to prevent another attack thereby making its negative tack seem positive. And so the left moves from issues of process to polarity using our defense against terrorism to argue that the terrorists are only defending themselves against us. The arguments that seem initially untenable when the blood is still on the streets slowly sink in as baffled people try to come to terms with what happened. All this is old hat for the left which has been excusing violence and revising history long before Islamic terrorism was an issue for anyone on this side of the Atlantic. Its tactics are polished and effective; though they would be far less so without the high ground of the media, the arts and the educational system, but the same could be said of any group. If David Icke had the unquestioning allegiance of 95 percent of media outlets and universities, most people would consider the existence of reptilians nothing more than common sense. It is that very power which makes the narrative so insidious. The views of the streetcorner lunatic handing out pamphlets can be transformed in context without being transformed in content by the simple expedient of being read on the air in a sonorous voice by a news network anchor. But the greater insidiousness of the snake in the bloody garden comes from its ability to break up the narrative into stages to make it more palatable. The left understands that it is working against natural emotions of loyalty and loss, and so it uses deception. It pretends to grieve, when it is sneering on the inside, and it pretends to want to help, when it is really seeking to destroy. It waits long enough to be able to pit the imaginary suffering of terrorists against the real suffering of their victims. It encourages its own brand of cynicism for the suffering of the victims and the heroism of their rescuers, while defending the sacred nature of the misfortune of its terrorists. It insists that its defense of terrorists in a time of terror invests it with a superior moral power and it uses that power to support terrorism.

Obama care, Benghazi, Boston Marathon bombing

Obama care, Benghazi, Boston Marathon bombing The Pressure is Building! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2875681591221&l=1a22a575d4 The bombs used by the brothers Tsarnaev for the Boston Marathon bombing appear to be a metaphor for the vast majority of legislation, departmental dictates and judicial rulings being used by politicians and judges to terrorize the American populace. Their bombs are loaded with immoral, unethical and unconstitutional legislative, departmental dictate and judicial barbs. These bombs are designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain and destruction upon the largest number of people possible. With each passing day, the pressure is building. When these terrorists’ bombs are detonated, the destruction will be unlike anything encountered before within the U. S. One has only to look at how the Sequester is being implemented to inflict the greatest amount of inconvenience and pain to realize how mean-spirited the political terrorists within our government are. Ironically, those charged with implementing Obama Care, are not being furloughed, so that part of the assault marches on, unabated. Isn’t it amazing that every department and agency has more money budgeted for this year over last year, yet we are witnesses to, and victims of, wanton assaults designed to encourage us to submit to even more political terrorism. Apparently, when the goal is to destroy our families, constitutional republic and faith communities, the end literally justifies the elites’ means. When you think of the United States in comparison to any other country, don’t you see a country that not just allows us to succeed, but encourages us to succeed? When it comes to products and services, more often than not, haven’t we been the beneficiaries of multiple options not experienced by those in other countries? Also, more often than not, haven’t our choices been superior, more plentiful and more economical than elsewhere in the world? So, why are these tenets of our society and economy being purposely stolen or destroyed, especially by elected politicians, appointed judges and bureaucrats, and elites, foreign and domestic? The low information voter is one source of energy for this purposeful destruction of our economy and constitutional republic, but who are our low information voters? Are they just ignorant and/or uneducated voters? No! Many are highly educated individuals. Many are highly successful in their professions and lines of work. They may be our mother or father, grandmother or grandfather, brother, sister, aunt or uncle, cousin, friend, co-worker, or neighbor. They are busy with their work, families and they may even attend church, a synagogue or a temple. They are part of a dying breed that watch network or cable news and/or read local or national newspapers, obtaining a jaundiced and slanted view of the world according to what elites want we, the people, to believe. They believe that because we live in the United States, we are immune from what ails the rest of the world. They are clueless and maybe even arrogant, and they allow miscreant individuals with a destructive agenda to infiltrate our society and government. As a nation, we are losing the divine intercession that has protected us in the darkest of times. No nation is perfect, including ours, for all nations are comprised of human beings, but we have enjoyed a quality of life no other country has experienced. This is due to the fact that our county was founded upon a constitution and laws that are focused upon the freedoms of our citizens, and not based upon the establishment of one faith, but upon Judeo-Christian morals, principles and ethics. These laws were designed to protect law-abiding citizens from an oppressive government and those who are criminals. Over time, the tables have turned. In too many cases, the government has intruded upon the law-abiding populace’s realm and pirated many of the responsibilities specifically reserved for the states, and our legal system provides ever-increasing protection for criminals and fewer protections for victims and/or the law-abiding majority of our population. Those who are younger are the product of an education system that, in too many instances, has been indoctrinating students to assimilate with the warped world they are imposing upon the Western world. More and more, truth becomes a lie, lies become the ‘truth’, terrorism becomes patriotism and patriotism becomes terrorism, faith in God is ridiculed and demeaned, deviancy is celebrated as diversity, not perversity, and inclusion is championed, unless, of course, inclusion means Catholicism, Christianity, Judaism, conservatism, free enterprise, genuine compassion, or enforcement of laws intended to protect our personal and/or national sovereignty. Two of the more dangerous issues, aside from gun CONTROL, amnesty, EPA dictates, Fast & Furious, the Benghazi Massacre, NDAA, drones being used against U. S. citizens within our borders, Dodd-Frank, the Sequester, etc., are U. N. Agenda 21 and Common Core. The low information voter is blissfully ignorant of these assaults, thanks to the media. The media will not discuss these issues because if people/parents knew about these assaults, they would get involved. If people were to become involved, the layers on the onions of lies, fraud and malfeasance may be unwound. The low information voters are unaware of the incursion of the unconstitutional Agenda 21, sustainability, or whatever Frank Luntz-like verbiage allows them to lurk and work in the shadows. It is designed to affect every area of our lives, based upon three core objectives. These objectives, defined by the elites, are ‘equity’, ‘economy’, and ‘environment’. Each objective is an oxymoron, a perversion of the generally accepted definition. A majority of those atop this agenda are not U. S. citizens, but they are making policies for all of us within the U. S. President George H. W. Bush is who sentenced us this insidious agenda in 1992. This is not a party issue. This is an elitist assault against the law-abiding and clueless U. S. citizen. We are the last bastion of truly free people. Too many of us are too arrogant and ignorant to believe that our ‘leaders’ will sell us out for money, power, fame and/or ideology. May the Lord have mercy upon our souls! Actually, virtually every attack upon us has tentacles associated with U. N. Agenda 21. The ‘green’ agenda of Agenda 21 provides a cover for a whole host of abuses by those seeking to dominate the ignorant under the guise of Agenda 21. Global cooling, global warning, climate CONTROL, or whatever, is used to advance the agenda, and is leading us to a glacier-like death by ‘greenocide’. With this ‘greenocide’, we are losing personal property rights, and we are staring at mushrooming utility energy costs, as coal, natural gas and oil are under constant attack by ne’er do well elites. Also, the cost of building just about everything is being driven up, through legislation, regulations, permits, and zoning, pushed by unions, non-government organizations (NGOs) and multiple government agencies and organizations via ‘public/private partnerships’, and funded, in part, by government (taxpayer-funded) grants and increased taxes. Population CONTROL through abortion, euthanasia, Obama Care and homosexual marriage has ties to the elimination of personal and national sovereignty within Agenda 21. The collective is to control our lives from the top (elites) down, at the expense of all who are not ‘chosen’ by the elites. Life, personal accomplishment and happiness are expendable in all of life’s stages. Bill Gates ‘inspired’ Common Core The Bill Gates ‘inspired’ Common Core is equally nefarious, and is a threat, not just against our children, but also to the future of our republic. Of course, Mr. Gates has reason to believe he will benefit from the computer usage mandates within this indoctrination Trojan Hose. This has only recently made the radar of those who are ever vigilant about protecting us from the collectivists who seek the fundamental transformation of our constitutional republic. You didn’t think that was an original thought of the Lying King, did you? He learned this way of thinking. He is the product of what elites want to do to your son or daughter, grandson or granddaughter, niece or nephew through Common Core. Only self-appointed elites, the greedy, racists, traitors, the slothful, the deviant and criminal, and God-deniers can appreciate the direction we are being pushed. Arrogant elitists, foreign and domestic, are playing upon the arrogance, ignorance and prejudices of those across the spectrum of our population. It is the tried-and-true, divide-and-conquer game plan, intertwined with lethal mixture of misinformation and the deprivation of facts. They employ the Delphi Technique and the Hegelian Dialectic to advance their agenda upon an unassuming populace. At some point, the compression that is building within our economy and society will need a release, or the compression will cause an explosion that will lead to Martial Law. Those pushing the fundamental transformation of our economy and republic expect to win in either event. Either we, the people, are pummeled into submission, or we resist these un-American agendas, dictates and laws, inviting the wrath of the elites, foreign and domestic. We need to invite God into the battle for our God-given and constitutional rights and freedoms, and it is time to take a stand against elitism, imperialism, globalism and collectivism. We also need to reach out to the low information voter, doing what the media refuses to do. It is said, ‘God helps those who helps themselves’. Let’s give him a reason to help us save our republic and families!

Benghazi Lies

All Americans should find the Benghazi attack and the total lack of response and seeming indifference to it at the highest levels of our government deeply troubling. Benghazi Lies At an April 17 session before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the new Secretary of State, John Kerry, lightly dismissed the assassination of a U.S. ambassador and three security personnel in Benghazi, Libya, saying “I don’t think anybody lied to anybody. And let’s find out exactly, together, what happened, because we need—we got a lot more important things to move on to and get done.” This has been the party line of the White House since the attack occurred on September 11, 2012. The initial response was to send out the hapless lackey, then-US Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice, to tell absurd lies about a video that incited the attack. Even the Libyan president dismissed that. Operating on the belief that the longer the attack recedes into the past, the less likely it will be a political problem, the administration continues to stonewall. That’s not going to happen. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC), speaking on Fox News on April 27 promised “explosive” congressional hearings regarding the Benghazi attack, saying they are “coming soon.” Larry Bell, a Forbes columnist, noted that “The House interim report states that ‘reductions of security levels prior to the attacks in Benghazi were approved at the highest levels of the State Department, up to and including Secretary Clinton.’” A group, Special Operations Speaks, recently sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner, raising the following questions:http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/ Why was there no military response to the events in Benghazi? Were military assets in the region available? If not, why not? If so, were they alerted? Were assets deployed to any location in preparation for a rescue or recovery attempt? Was military assistance requested by the Department of State? If so, what type? Were any US Army/Navy/USMC assets available to support the US diplomats in Benghazi during the attack? What, if any, recommendations for military action were made by DOD and the US Africa Command? What, if any, non-military assistance was provided during the attack? How many US personnel were injured in Benghazi? Why have the survivors of the attack not been questioned? Where are the survivors? Who was in the White House Situation Room (WHSR) during the entire 8-hour period of the attacks, and was a senior US military officer present? Where were Leon Panetta and General Martin Dempsey during the crisis, and what inputs and recommendations did they make? Where were Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisor, Denis McDonough, his deputy, Valerie Jarrett, and John Brennan during the attacks, and what (if any) recommendations or decisions did any of them make? Why were F-16 fighter aircraft based in Aviano, Italy (less than two hours away), never considered a viable option for disruption (if not dispersal) of the attackers until “boots on the ground” (troop support—General Dempsey’s words) arrived? Were any strike aircraft (such as an AC-130 gunship) in the area or possibly overhead that would cause former SEAL Tyrone Woods to laser-designate his attacker’s position and call for gunship fire support, thereby revealing his own location that led to his death? Who gave the order to “STAND DOWN” that was heard repeatedly during the attacks? What threat warnings existed before the attack, and what were the DOD and DOS responses to those warnings? What data (which will reveal exact timelines and command decisions) is contained within the various SITREPS, records, logs, videos and recordings maintained by the myriad DOD, Intelligence Community and State Department Command Centers that were monitoring the events in Benghazi as they unfolded? Why did the Commander-in Chief and Secretary of State never once check in during the night to find out the status of the crisis in Benghazi? What was the nature of Ambassador Stevens’ business in Benghazi at the time of the attack? What guidance has been provided to survivors and family members since the time of the attack, and who issued that guidance? Why are so many agencies now requiring their personnel who were involved in or have access to information regarding the events that took place in Benghazi sign non-disclosure statements? “As veterans of Special Operations, we find this deeply troubling.” All Americans should find the Benghazi attack and the total lack of response and seeming indifference to it at the highest levels of our government deeply troubling. If it turns out that the alleged witnesses to the attack begin to turn up dead that would be especially troubling.

I have been watching my country be assaulted over and over again, with few to none-in-office coming to her rescue

I have been watching my country be assaulted over and over again, with few to none-in-office coming to her rescue Obama and other Traitors Bring an End to Sanity and My Country Other than two interviews, I have not written a column on the active continuing decline of all liberty in the USA since 12 March. The reason is that it is simultaneously depressing and enraging to view the intense damage that those elected to high office in my country are doing to both the country and its people. Too many of those who have benefited the most from the United States of America’s Republic are now openly and actively participating in its destruction. When a country’s leaders are hell-bent on destroying said country, nothing at all—save a real revolution brought on by the people—will ever save it. In fact, just the opposite will be proposed and passed into law with the government-paid talking heads redefining words and dutifully telling the populations that freedom is slavery, wrong actions are really right and good is bad. Note: The creation of a relatively insane and befuddled population is part and parcel towards overthrowing a nation. As one example, the ostensible “leaders” in and of Washington State have decided to rewrite language to remove any mention of “man” or “men” from multiple words (i.e. penmanship is now handwriting, fireman is now fire person, fisherman is now simply fisher etc.). Last year, this same State opted to remove “bride and groom” and “man and woman” from marriage certificates and officially begin its war against human genders. These words were racist or homophobic—or something—don’tcha’ know? I have been watching my country be assaulted over and over again, with few to none-in-office coming to her rescue. I have observed that the United States of America (no longer united and the federal government is now working to rid itself of the States…altogether) is now largely being run by the Obama shadow government of Muslim Brotherhood members, unelected ObamaCzars (one of whom—Mark Lloyd—has even championed using the media to affect genocide of ones political enemies) and a no longer for-the-people US Congress. Taking on the tone of the surreal, recent “massacres“—many aspects of which strongly appear to have been staged by the ObamaGov and Marxist Hollywood for maximum effect toward assisting them in establishing a US police state—from Aurora, CO through Sandy Hook to the latest Boston Marathon bombings are continuing to develop into what appear to be “staged events” status. More and more salient information (much via You Tube…see references below) is coming to the forefront, as the hands of the ObamaGov seem to be deeply entrenched in these perceptible manipulations against the American people with one agenda only—that of complete control of the population by the ObamaGov and world elites via a police state. Note: We already saw the beginnings of said police state with the forcible entry by federally militarized police into private homes in Massachusetts after the recent “Boston Marathon bombings.” Interestingly, some on the Left are finally “getting it” and even being vocal about it. Resident-leftist Bill Maher recently said of the way in which the ’search’ for the Boston Marathon bombers was conducted “This country is becoming a police state, and it is very troubling to me” and late-night ABC host Jimmy Kimmel said “I think we are in a police state. We have cameras and our phones are being tracked and our cars are being tracked. … We must want this; this must be something we want.” In September 2009, I saw and reported that virtually gun-free Massachusetts had been chosen as a test case for martial law when I wrote my column “Is MA Storm Trooper bill a Test Case for Obama Takeover?” Unless we actually begin to fight for America it will soon be (if it isn’t already) irrevocably lost to us and all other countries. The nation that was begun by my and others’ ancestors as the hope of the Earth “under God” has now almost been reduced to rubble. It has been perverted in so many ways that it is impossible to list all of them here. However, one thing remains constant. If we want our country back we must rise up against what is happening now. Unfortunately, it appears there are not nearly enough of us left who are willing to get off of our collective “arses” and stand up against oppression and our oppressors. If that is the case…we die. Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”—Ephesians 6:12 Mark Lloyd on using media to effectively promote genocide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQb_H6rxhQc

Stopping funding for Wahhabi-Salafist mosque construction

Stopping funding for Wahhabi-Salafist mosque construction Time to Derail the Saudi “Visa Express” Preferential, fast-lane treatment for Saudi visa applicants should be considered on a reciprocal basis, with verifiable Saudi progress in stopping funding for Wahhabi-Salafist mosque construction; Salafist and Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated imams; anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and anti-West curriculum materials and jihadi fighters everywhere on Sharia battlefields. One of the more striking—and worrisome—aspects of the April 2013 Boston Marathon terror attack and the cross-border al-Qa’eda/Iran plot to bomb a passenger railway that runs between New York City and Toronto, Canada is the realization that all four suspects so far identified in the two plots had entered legally into the United States and Canada, respectively. Crossing legally into Western countries targeted for terror attacks, entering immigrant and refugee streams without drawing attention from security services, and blending into existing multicultural communities while establishing personas indistinguishable from those of tens of thousands of other new arrivals, appears to be a tried and true modus operandi for Islamic jihadis. It definitely worked for the fifteen of nineteen 9/11 hijackers who were Saudis. Given the reality of that threat, brought home yet again to North America with these two latest plots, now is probably not the best time for the current administration to revive the visa program that allowed the Saudi government to help screen visa applicants for fast-track entry into the U.S. And yet, that is exactly what just happened: an agreement between the U.S. and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was reached in January 2013 that would accept Saudi applicants into the Global Entry Trusted Traveler program. Prince Mohammed bin Nayef heads the Saudi Interior Ministry that will screen Saudi applicants when the pilot program begins in 2014. To his credit, bin Nayef has led an internal Saudi crackdown against al-Qa’eda and survived an al-Qa’eda assassination attempt in retaliation. On the other side of the ledger, however, Saudi Arabia is the world’s foremost sponsor of both Islamic jihad and Da’wa [Islamic religious outreach], the source of funding and inspiration for promoters of Islamic Sharia law and anti-Western suicide bombers alike across the globe. As revealed in early stages of the recent plot investigations, none of these latest accused terrorists in the Boston Marathon and passenger train plots sneaked into Canada or the U.S. or paid a coyote to get himself past border controls. Rather, all of them (or their families) worked the legal system, then later (even years later) were activated—or recruited and then activated—to carry out an attack mission. According to The Iconoclast, the Tsarnaev brothers had been admitted to the U.S., along with multiple members of their extended family, under the aegis of the Refugee Act of 1980. Tamerlan, the elder brother, arrived in 2006 and was granted Permanent Resident status, while Dzhokhar, who arrived on a tourist visa in 2002, was given asylum status as a Chechen refugee from Dagestan, and eventually achieved U.S. citizenship on 11 September 2012. In the Canada-U.S. railway bombing plot, Tunisian-born Chiheb Esseghaier moved to Canada in 2008 and was “granted permanent residency under Quebec’s skilled worker program,” according to the Canadian National Post. Accused co-conspirator Raed Jaser, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, arrived in Canada with his parents and two brothers in 1993 on false French passports; although denied a request for asylum based on claims of persecution in Germany, most of the family eventually obtained Canadian citizenship. Jaser might have too, except that he racked up a criminal record while awaiting his final status ruling. However, because Jaser somehow was listed as a “stateless Palestinian” whose father had left the newly-established State of Israel in 1948 (instead of remaining to become an Israeli citizen), there was no place to where Canada could deport him, despite multiple efforts. Every one of the nineteen 9/11 attack hijackers entered the U.S. on a valid passport and visa, too. Janice Kephart served as a former counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Technology, Terrorism and Government Information; a former immigration counsel to the September 11 Commission; and current National Security Policy Director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She also served as an expert witness in the Havlish case which, in December 2011, resulted in a Federal District Court ruling that Iran was co-responsible with al-Qa’eda for 9/11; and provided testimony for both the 9/11 Commission and the Havlish case. Kephart has emphasized the critical importance of travel documents for terrorists. In the affidavit she wrote for the Havlish case, Kephart discussed how Iranian material support to some of the al-Qa’eda hijackers, in the form of refraining from placing border stamps in their passports, ultimately enabled them to enter the U.S. with “clean passports” that bore no evidence of their having been in Afghanistan, Iran, or other Middle Eastern locations that would have drawn unwanted scrutiny. Although Kephart did not say so specifically, fifteen of those nineteen passports were Saudi passports—and in at least eight of those cases, Saudi officials at some level would have to have been complicit with the Iranians to arrange a bilateral agreement on the mark in the hijackers’ passports that would be seen and recognized by the Iranian border guards. As Steven Emerson at The Investigative Project on Terrorism points out in an important—and critical—review of the new Saudi fast-track visa program, the book has never really been closed on Saudi involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Indeed, there is a 28-page classified section of the official 9/11 Commission Report that points to the “plausible involvement of possible Saudi government agents in the September 11th attacks,” according to former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, and which former Florida Senator Bob Graham asserts would put our understanding of the Saudi role in those attacks in a different light. Aside from the probable Saudi passport arrangement with Iran, Saudi individuals and entities were key links in the so-called “Golden Chain” of financial benefactors to Usama bin Laden and al-Qa’eda. According to the 9/11 Commission Report, those resources were “put together mainly by financiers in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states.” A key list of al-Qa’eda funders was discovered in a 2002 search of the Bosnian offices of the Benevolence International Foundation, a Saudi-based funding mechanism for al-Qa’eda also designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. Treasury Department. Saudi donors featured prominently on the handwritten list of 20 names. The so-called “SAAR Network,” named after Saudi billionaire Sulaiman Abdul Aziz al-Rajhi, was among them; it was raided by the FBI in 2002. The Rabita Trust was also a financial front founded in 1988 by Omar Abdullah Nasseef, who was then Secretary General of the SAAR-linked Muslim World League, and another senior Saudi close to the royal family—as well as to Huma Abedin, Deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Clinton from 2009-2013. Then there is the Saudi student, Abdul Rahman Ali Al-Harbi, who was named “a person of interest” and detained under guard by U.S. federal officials at a hospital after the Boston Marathon attack. Al-Harbi, whose extended family clan includes multiple members identified by the Saudi government as al-Qa’eda terrorists as well as five GITMO detainees, was (or maybe still is) in the U.S. on a student visa to attend college in Ohio—but was living in the Boston area at the time of the marathon attack. On Tuesday 16 April 2013, the day after the marathon attack, the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) created an “event file” on al-Harbi, specifically citing him under a provision (212(a)(3)B) reserved for “proven terrorist activity.” In other words, as Diana West reported, al-Harbi was on a no-fly list—and apparently with good reason. Steve Emerson appeared on the FOX News Hannity show to report that al-Harbi was due to be deported on national security grounds. But then Secretary of State John Kerry met with the Saudi Foreign Minister, Saud al-Faisal; and by Wednesday, 17 April, al-Harbi’s event file had been altered and all references to there ever having been a terrorist designation for him had disappeared. Al-Harbi has disappeared, too, at least in terms of coverage by the mainstream media. The U.S. system for background checks (Security Advisory Opinion or SAR) prior to granting visas in cases that raise or ought to raise security flags obviously has some holes in it that do not seem to have been patched since 9/11. Instead, one of the things that has changed, and significantly, is the number of Saudi students studying in this country: as of 2000, before 9/11, there were around 5,500 enrolled. Today, in 2013, according to West, there are about 35,000, thanks to a “reckless agreement” between President George W. Bush and the Saudi government in April 2005. Before the U.S. completely turns over security of the chicken coop to the fox, we need to get a solid grip on how many other Saudi students besides al-Harbi may have slipped through the SAAR system. Congressional leaders, who have asked DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano for a briefing on the al-Harbi case, have been stonewalled. The Saudi relationship with al-Qa’eda as well as Iran—whether past, present, or ever—needs both clarification and immediate termination. Preferential fast-lane treatment for Saudi visa applicants should be considered on a reciprocal basis, with verifiable Saudi progress in stopping funding for Wahhabi-Salafist mosque construction; Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated imams; antisemitic, anti-Christian, and anti-West curriculum materials; and jihadi fighters everywhere on Shariah battlefields.

Act called President Barack Obama

Act called President Barack Obama The Era in which the World Becomes a Cheap Act Kentucky ‘nun’ Rosemarie Smead, who self-ordained herself a ‘priest’ to push the envelope for a dissident group operating outside of official Roman Catholic Church authority, has about as much chance of striking credibility as the men who think wearing the women’s underwear manufactured by HommeMystere will get any closer to really being a femme. Jihad Mom Zubeidat Tsarnaeva riding the worldwide web since the Boston Marathon bombing as a victim whose sons were killed by America, is a media-enabled, anti-American heroine, when in fact she and her family were immigrants who lived on food stamps and the American welfare system while practicing to commit acts of terrorism. Period. All of this upside down culture is courtesy of the Act called President Barack Obama, who not long after arriving in office was given the Nobel Peace prize based on politics rather than merit. Since November 2008, the world as we knew it started to become a cheap act. Hollywood stars and ‘60s-era czars are the mainstays of an ever careening White House. Together they write the narrative that the safety of women and children rest on a government of ‘progressives’. Progressives can’t deal with the criminals which have always been part of society so they create their own. Returning veterans, advocates of the Second Amendment and the Constitution are pulled into their Act as the enemy. When five living presidents and their wives gathered in Dallas, Texas, last week to dedicate the opening of the latest presidential library, they hummed along to the iconic Battle Hymn of the Republic, all the while ignoring the import of the hymn’s immortal words. Not once was the ideal of how to stop the obvious decline of America brought onto the Dallas stage. The world becoming a cheap act peaked when America elected, for a second time, a man who puts in much more time starring as a president rather than just being a president. Turn on the boob-tube almost any time during the day or night and you’re going to find one or both of the Obamas doing their Act. Ordinary parents worry how to keep food on the table for their kids in an economy going south. Obama worries about outfoxing his two daughters should they decide to get tattoos. All the real things that matter in life—poverty, loss of individual rights and freedoms, personal safety from terrorism—are being ignored while The Act continues to play on. While millions suffer, it’s always party time at the White House. In reality people are getting messages from the banks or landlords that their fate includes losing the roof over their heads. The latest message from the White House is that Michelle goes for a “sexier look” (now that’s a stretch) and Barbra Streisand is still “sexy at 70”. Before that, it was “looking-sexy-at-70” Hanoi Jane whose latest gig was playing Nancy Reagan in the movies. The ongoing Act coming out of Washington, D.C. gives an onlooking worried world a front row seat to watch an upside down, inside out world. It is more important now than ever to remember that it’s not as if the actors behind the Fundamental Transformation of America forgot what America is, but that they never knew what it was in the first place.

Dancing to the tune of the Saudi royal agenda

Dancing to the tune of the Saudi royal agenda Bad moon over America As the events in Boston played out over the last two weeks, one facet of this administration’s actions kept troubling me. I couldn’t quite see it through the dense fog of information and accusations at first, but then in the dark of a restless night after my oral surgery a few days ago, I looked skyward and asked God Almighty for some light on the big picture, because I’m a “big picture, bottom line” kind of guy. It seemed that within seconds, the clouds overhead began to break, and out of the darkness rose a full moon. Somehow it seemed like an answer, but how? I thought about my family and friends and then about my country and the world. I tend to be a little dense at times and it still wasn’t quite clear to me what the moon rising on the horizon had to do with my hope for divinely inspired insights and revelations. Amid the haze of my pain and medication, I startled myself by talking out loud to the Almighty, perhaps a bit too testily for which I hope I will be forgiven. “Don’t you see,” I fumed, “I’m just trying to get some perspective on our situation. How can I help people if I can’t get their attention on the big problems looming right in front of us?” Perhaps it was the medication, but for the life of me I thought I heard God chuckle a bit as I just stood there staring at the odd moonlit shapes and shadows around me. It’s strange how moonlight makes the colors go away, turning everything monochrome. The dark shadows of a rising moon distort and lie about what is really around you. The buds and flowers on the oak and cherry tree branches which seemed so beautiful and reassuring on the previous spring afternoon suddenly become foreboding and stark. The slightest, rustling breeze puts one’s senses on edge, seeing what your imagination is hearing. Bad moon rising Standing in the darkness, my thoughts wandered to a song from my youth by Credence Clearwater Revival, Bad Moon Rising. The lyrics were well imprinted in my subconscious: “I see the bad moon arising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin’. I see bad times today. Don’t go around tonight, well, it’s bound to take your life, there’s a bad moon on the rise.” I already felt sick and the thoughts induced by that rock scripture weren’t very comforting. Not being one to leave fate completely to chance, I walked back inside where I chased a couple more pills with some clear water in pursuit of my own “revival.” While waiting for the promised relief I took a deep breath and badgered the Almighty yet again, clearly showing my heightened exasperation, for which I have since apologized. “Please excuse my blindness, but what am I missing here? I see a full moon. How’s that relevant to Boston or Benghazi? How does that tell us anything about the times we’re in?” Bad economic moon I complained to God that I’ve written about the peril our economy is facing as this president and his administration are kissing up to the globalists, and are in apparent agreement with their curses on our currency with their proclamations that they intend to “just kill the dollar.” In those moonlit moments, I complained about how wrong it seemed that no one has yet to challenge the president by asking whether the statement made by a high level Obama Administration official is truly their intent or if this official perhaps misstated the administration’s position. Perhaps “we the people” don’t have the right perspective on the matter and there is a defensible situation that the president and this administration could envision where “killing” the dollar was a wise alternative that could be made to make sense to the American people… and for that matter, all other people around the world who rely on a stable U.S. dollar as their country’s reserve currency. I again stared at the rising arc of the full moon. I felt a bit indignant at the indignity of the situation. I again begged God out loud, “please, please help me to see the obvious, if it’s actually that obvious! What am I missing here, what’s right in my face that I’m not seeing?” A tale of two moons I closed my eyes and for a moment and I thought God directed a little nod to me, telling me to “look again!” After giving my eyes a moment to readjust, I looked back up at that full moon. In the blur and for an instant I was seeing double! Albeit briefly, two moons. Instantly, like a silver bullet to the center of my brain it hit me, striking me hard right between the eyes and in a Godly instant it was clear as day. It’s all a matter of perspective! The Almighty allows me to see it clearly now, it was always right there, but I just didn’t comprehend it correctly, or completely. Now, bear with me here for a moment as my thoughts instantly went to the predicament my friend had over some neck ties that were marketed for men a few years ago. They looked conservative and relatively innocent so my friend’s mother had bought a few for him as a gift. He had occasionally worn them around and never gave it a thought until his girlfriend’s mother had asked him, rather incredulously, if he thought it was really appropriate to wear a particular tie (his favorite until then) to a relative’s wedding where they were headed as a group. She said “all those dead heads, skulls and naked women are really not very respectful to the sensibilities of the congregation who do not expect to be insulted by such indignities in God’s house. It’s just not right!” Well, my friend failed to see the pictures hidden within the pictures. In his defense, he claims that a little color blindness mixed with intermittent dyslexia contributed to the problem. We were both amused that he could not see what his future mother-in-law saw so clearly and so immediately. Upon his arrival at the church, he walked directly into the rest room where it seemed that most of the clergy and half of the choir were present. There, along with the choir and clergy, he explained his plight as they all stood in front of a mirror and looked for several long seconds at my friend’s tie. Almost simultaneously, perhaps assisted by the mirror’s correction of the dyslexic-crossed brain wires, there it was, the montage of madness hidden within the tie that his mother-in-law so readily saw. Following a group blush, my friend quickly removed his tie and entered the church. Later, he recounted that he tossed that tie and the others into his fireplace, disposing of them like a possessed Ouija board. He watched as the flames contorted the colorfully glowing, coiled and writhing forms until they flattened dead to ashes. He is amazed to this day at how the obvious pictures within the picture had eluded him so completely. He has repeated the tale to me many times since, vowing that he “won’t be fooled again.” That’s how I feel now, it all a matter of perspective, and I also am vowing to never “be fooled again!” Against the backdrop I have painstakingly but purposefully detailed, I see Barack Hussein Obama now and in the past bowing to foreign kings and princes, and I see his officials, staff and even the people closest to him doing the same. He pays these foreigners the dignity of his bows… but from my perspective, and America’s perspective, we’re just getting MOONED. There, I said it. We’re getting MOONED by the president and the members of his administration who are following his lead. But, as if that’s not bad enough, we’re also getting MOONED by Congress. They won’t pass a budget, but don’t you dare be one day late on your taxes. They bend over and pay foreigners, globalists, and murdering Wahabist/Jihadist scammers with the sweat off our brow. They dignify their foreign benefactors evil deeds with deep virtual bows, while imposing the indignities of their MOONING stench upon us in the form of increasingly invasive burdens of regulations and taxes, further hampering our ability to function as a nation. As any farm kid in flyover country can tell you from personal experience, you can’t run, let alone move very fast in farm-fresh fertilizer muck. The deeper and wetter it is the slower you go; and whatever you do, watch where you step, don’t let it slop over the top of your boots because the smell doesn’t wash away easily. Now you might imagine that the subject of being “mooned” is a bit over the top and as such not suitable for “decent folk” to discuss publicly. Given the divine origins of my current enlightenment, however, I’ll continue along with anyone so inclined to further consider my divinely inspired thoughts on the perspective we are being provided by those “assuming the positions” of representative leadership within our fine Republic. I will, however, pause momentarily to allow any of you who feel the need to exit this article now, due to my references to the Almighty and the angst this might have caused the atheists and even the Progressives among you. Blame it on the “mentical” (my new word) damage as a consequence of my pain and medication if you must, and accept my sincere apologies as you depart. There is, however, an interesting historical precedent for “mooning,” which is a bit of trivia you probably thought you could do without. The first known incident of “mooning” someone reportedly took place in 66 AD, when a Roman soldier mooned Jewish pilgrims on their way to the Temple in Jerusalem. It was near the beginning of the First Roman–Jewish War and caused a riot that resulted in the deaths of thousands of Jewish pilgrims. As we fast forward a couple thousand years, apparently little has changed. The Obama moon rising It was four years ago this month that photographs and video appeared of Barack Hussein Obama bowing deeply to Saudi Arabian King Abdullah at a G20 meeting, causing criticism by some conservative commentators who opined that his gesture was nothing more than a Hillbilly gaffe, or ignorance of protocol, considerately giving Obama the benefit of the doubt. Others believe he exercised proper etiquette in that situation. I submit to you that given the events and news headlines of the last 5 years, both assertions are utterly incorrect and fatally naive. Obama’s deep bow was the body language of submission, and equally disgusting as his predecessor’s kissing and hand holding with his Saudi counterpart. First, let’s stick with being mooned as this action is more relevant to present-day events, including but not limited to the murderous attacks in Boston on April 15, 2013. The blood red moon over Boston Can you tell me with absolute certainty exactly what happened in Boston on April 15, 2013? Do you believe the official government narrative of all accounts of that day and the days that followed? If you question the events and the identity of the perpetrators and hold the government accountable in your position as watchmen, you risk being marginalized and described with pejoratives by the power elite. Yet, the bombing attack provides us with the most recent clues about what is taking place directly in front of us, as the holes in the official narrative are nearly as large as those that exist in the security at our southern border and just as numerous. Despite the many inconsistencies that can be identified and dissected, one critical aspect of the Boston marathon bombing will provide valuable, if not undeniable insight into the deep bow or bad moon rising. It is the account of Saudi national Abdullahrahman Ali al Harbi. If that name is unfamiliar, it is because our government and the corporate media intends it that way. In fact, the mere unauthorized discussion of al Harbi comes with the threat of jail for boots-on-the-ground field investigators. It is that serious and that much of a threat to the ultimate powers of government. Glenn Beck and Alex Jones both extensively covered the account of al Harbi, which is the best example of the latest mooning of every American. Therefore, I will not rehash the details here. The case of al Harbi, however, included so many senior administration officials, that this bow to the Saudis (and the mooning of America) was so incredibly deep that from my perspective, it appeared that they were all not just bowing, but grabbing their ankles. The now infamous bow to the Saudi King was like a bad moon rising over America, much the same as the first recorded “mooning” by a Roman soldier that ended up causing the deaths of thousands of Jewish pilgrims some two centuries ago. It’s a matter of perspective - on which side of the bow you are on. Unfortunately, Americans have been “mooned” in favor of the Saudis, but despite ample evidence have yet to realize it. Failure to understand that the bow we witnessed has put all Americans under imminent threat of permanent brain damage as a result of hypoxia to our brain cells - the body politic of America. The oxygen deprivation that will cause our deaths is due to our elected officials, from the president to members of congress, being forced to maintain the contorted position of a deep bow turned into cranial-rectal inversion therapy at the behest of our Saudi controllers. The Saudis, their globalist handlers and every person on the “proper side” of the deep bow contortion are laughing at you while you willingly sacrifice the lives of our sons and daughters in battles that do not represent our best interests. How does that make you feel? If you’re not angry, and I mean damn angry, then you’re not seeing the bigger picture. Finally, the full moon From Benghazi to Boston, no one from this administration or congress can reveal the truth, for doing so will expose the deep and incestuous U.S.-Saudi intelligence connections and common agenda. It will expose the Muslim Brotherhood inside and outside of the government, from the Department of State to the military to the Department of Homeland Security. If you’re looking for answers from congress about Benghazi, you will not get them, for the captains of America’s body politic are all involved, and are placing all of us in extreme peril. If you cannot see, for example, that America was deeply involved in the illegal transfer of arms to anti-Assad terrorists on behalf of the Saudis in violation of international law, and the misallocation of American men, women and assets in pursuit of that agenda, then you are not looking in the proper places. How much clearer can it be that America is being used to establish a pan-Islamic empire? How much clearer can it be that we are assisting and protecting the Saudis at every turn? By dancing to the tune of the Saudi royal agenda, the way is being paved for a new armed conflict in the Middle East that will make the totality of the conflicts over the last half-century tame by comparison. I’m talking about World War III. Every American administration since the early twentieth century has bowed to the Saudi-globalist interests, culminating to this very point in history. Does it now make sense how and why Barack Hussein Obama was “selected” to be in office at this moment in time? Just follow the money, which buys influence. Now is the moment of decision for all Americans who can see the “big picture.” Through our words and deeds, either we compel our elected officials to “think American,” break free from this Saudi-globalist agenda, and require them to pay us the dignity of addressing us directly, respectfully and appropriately as fellow citizens and not subjects, or we must draw our own deep red line in the sand. It’s the American way. Otherwise, we better prepare to limber up and start our stretching exercises immediately, for the next big bow in which we’ll likely be required to participate will break even the most flexible among us.

Fix our flawed immigration system

Fix our flawed immigration system The good news is Congress cares about trying to fix our flawed immigration system and broken borders. The bad news is they want to do it with a solution that looks a lot like Obamacare—the “Gang of Eight” 844-page-plus “comprehensive” bill. The sad news is that such an “easy button” solution will not improve our immigration system. History shows that big bills designed to solve everything wind up creating as many problems as they address. They become loaded with payoffs for special interests and often introduce measures that work at cross purposes. The “comprehensive” bill fails at the start. Here are the top five reasons it cannot be fixed. 1. Amnesty. This bill grants amnesty. It creates a framework for legalization for the estimated 11 million people unlawfully present in the United States. Anyone who was present in the U.S. before 2012 qualifies, but there is too much opportunity for fraud—since there is no proof required that applicants have been here for several years. 2. Fiscal Costs to the Taxpayer. This plan does not account for the government benefits, especially welfare and entitlement benefits, that would be paid to those who are legalized over their lifetimes. The additional costs to taxpayers would be enormous. Some argue that amnesty would bring economic gains, but these would actually be captured by the formerly unlawful immigrants themselves. Legalization brings little economic benefit to the rest of us. 3. Government Spending. The bill is a Trojan horse for government spending, and in some cases, it appears the funding is unrestricted or ill-defined. Just one example is a $6.5 billion “Comprehensive Immigration Reform Trust,” which includes a $2 billion “slush fund” for border security. Our federal government currently spends $1 trillion more per year than it takes in, so adding on a new, unlimited spending commitment makes no sense at all. The entire cost of implementing the bill has yet to be determined. Further, the bill trashes fiscal discipline, exploiting “a loophole in the Budget Control Act (BCA) that allows Congress to spend more than allowed under the spending caps adopted in 2011.” 4. “Border Triggers.” The bill requires certification of “border triggers” for stemming the tide of illegal border crossings before additional steps in the legalization process can proceed. But the Department of Homeland Security has been trying unsuccessfully to define credible metrics for border security since 2004. Even if it had effective “triggers,” that does not guarantee a secure border. Border crossing conditions constantly change. Even if the goal is achieved, there is no guarantee it will stay that way. Amnesty creates an incentive for illegal border crossings and overstays. Thus, the strategy laid out would drive up the cost of securing the border. Just throwing money at the border does not make sense. The policies adopted on both sides of the border are more important. For example, the Coast Guard is significantly underfunded and unprepared. America’s coastlines are already seeing a significant increase in illegal entry by sea, a trend that has been growing since 2007. 5. Lawful Immigration Reform. The bill “modernizes” lawful immigration and non-immigration visas. These modernizations include substantially lowering “chain” migration; abolishing the diversity lottery; expanding the visa waiver; increasing high-skill migration; and expanding temporary worker programs. Reforming the legal immigration system—in principle—is laudable. But trying to craft precise measures in a massive bill like this is difficult. For example, though it sounds innocuous, one provision in the legislation could lead to big problems. The legislation allows documents “issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe” to be used for identity and employment purposes. Numerous Indian tribes exist along the southern border, including the Texas Kickapoo, the Ysleta Del Sur, and, the largest, the Tohona O’Odham. Indian reservations already serve as drug pipelines and have been cited as weak links in border security. Given these issues, does it really make sense to add this exemption to legislation aimed at

We have a government which believes the solution to every problem is increasing the heat

We have a government which believes the solution to every problem is increasing the heat. Time is of the essence! We have to jump or boil The Frog in the Frying Pan Frog + Frying Pan + Water + Heat = Dinner The story goes: take a frog and drop it in a pan of boiling water and he will jump right back out. Drop the frog in a pan of cool water and slowly turn up the heat. It will sit right there and eventually boil to death. Folks, we are the proverbial “frog”. We have been “gigged” and are sitting in the pan complaining about how hot it is getting. A few decades ago, if we were taken from where we were to where we are right now, we would have jumped right back out and saved ourselves. But, while we were busy catching flies for our own supper, someone snatched us out of our cool pond and placed us in the cool water of the frying pan. The few, who noticed the difference, looked around and said to no one in particular, “This isn’t so bad, I have clean water and I am sure plenty of bugs will come within striking distance. I’ll be just fine right here.” As the heat increased, first came relaxation and letting down the guard. That was followed by lethargy as it began to get hot. Once the water began to boil, it was too late to jump out and the frog slowly boiled. I don’t know about you, but I am beginning to see little bubbles rising in the water around me. I feel sweat on my hairless brow and still, for some strange reason, sit here complaining about the heat and who it must be that keeps turning it up more and more. I converse with other frogs about how bad it is and who might come to save us, but while we all sitting here and waiting, the water just got hotter. We are now on the verge of boiling! Americans slept while the Socialists (and worse) were out gigging for frogs, pulling out the pan and turning up the heat. Over the years we have been over-burdened with national debt, watched while our defensive ability has been diminished, witnessed the stoking of racial fire and class hatred, experienced the decline in our public education system, been amazed by the mushrooming welfare system and ever increasing rolls receiving benefits, suffered the continual eroding of our Rights and individual liberties, observed our nation losing the positive relationship and reputation we once enjoyed with our allies, watched the world rejoice over our sorrow and pain, and tried to keep our heads above water while our society has turned lawless. We have a government which believes the solution to every problem is increasing the heat. Time is of the essence! We have to jump or boil.

Let us look at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt and why Muslims Kill

Let us look at Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Egypt to see what this thing that the terrorists would like to impose on us is Why Muslims Kill The murderer is the new celebrity. He emerges out of nowhere with a rags to mass murder story, and is swiftly accorded all the trappings of fame. Reporters track down anyone who knew him to learn about his childhood and his main influences. Relatives and friends both contribute fuzzy anecdotes, mostly indistinguishable from the ones they would present if he were competing on American Idol or running for president. The disaffected form fan clubs around him. The experts discuss what his rise to fame means. Books are written about him and then perhaps a movie. And then it ends and begins all over again. The Tsernaev brothers, the living one and the dead one, are already receiving that treatment. Like most murderers they have already become more famous than their victims. More famous than the rescuers. The original Tamerlane is better known than any of his countless victims. The new one is already eclipsing his victims. Before long one of those Chechen bards whose videos he tagged into his playlist on YouTube will write a ballad about the Boston massacre and the circle will be complete. That ballad, murderous and vile, will still be more honest than most of the media coverage about the two Chechen Muslims has been. The media’s coverage is weighed down by its old fetish of murder as celebrity. The media covers murderers and celebrities in the same way. It writes exhaustively about them, but rarely meaningfully. The murderer, like the celebrity, is famous for being famous. And fame clips context and suppresses meaning. It becomes its own reference. A thing is famous for being known. It is known for being famous. It enters the common language as a reference. A metaphor. In the case of the Tsernaevs, the surface coverage, the endless rounds of interviews with friends and relatives, with anyone who ever met them or retweed them, is mandatory because it avoids the more difficult question of why they killed. The better news outlets answer with convenient terms like “radicalization” or “self-radicalization” and much of the public, primed to react to meaningless political jargon as if it had meaning, will think that they understand. A radical, they know, is a bad person, except for a brief period when surfers and ninja turtles could use it and still be good people. They don’t quite know why that is, but they also don’t know why high debt is good for the economy or why Islam is a religion of peace. Radical and extremist are convenient terms for dismissing people and subjects without discussing them. Mental shortcuts like that can be convenient. No one really wants to spend every waking moment debating the people who think that the moon landing was faked or that we are ruled over by miniature T-Rex’s who somehow look just like people. But when the body count gets high enough, dismissing it as extremism or radicalism doesn’t hold up. The question must be discussed. Muslim violence began a thousand years before the United States existed as an independent political entity The experts point to foreign policy, but Muslim violence began a thousand years before the United States existed as an independent political entity. The younger Tsernaev sibling scrawled something about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, prompted or unprompted, but Iraq is yesterday’s news and America is in Afghanistan because of the Muslim attacks of September 11. We can keep retracing every event and connecting it to a prior event, but the constraints of history will swiftly take us back to before Independence Hall, Columbus and for that matter the English language. If we are to flounder looking around for a first cause, we must either fetch up against the founding of Islam or try to make a case for Islamic violence predating Islam. Neither is very tenable. Dzhokhar can claim that he and his brother were defending Islam by murdering an 8-year-old, Hitler claimed that he was defending Germany by invading Poland and Japan is still waiting around for South Korea to thank it for protecting it from Western imperialism. Prisons are full of 300 pound men who beat their 90 pound wives to death in self-defense and spree killers who felt bullied and misunderstood and defended themselves with killing sprees. The kind of evil we see in movies, the serial killer who gleefully whisper about demonic pacts and the joy of killing, are a rarity. Even human monsters are human. They explain things in terms of their egos. They are always defending themselves against some form of oppression and looking for someone to sympathize with their outrage. Muslim terrorists are no different. The Taliban just poisoned a girls school as part of their campaign to defend Afghanistan from women who can read and write. Hamas fired an anti-tank missile at an Israeli school bus in defense of Palestine. Tamerlan Tsarnaev put down a bomb next to an 8-year-old boy in defense of Islam. Islam has a long history of needing to be defended against small boys, blind female poets and elderly cartoonists Islam, as one of the great world religions, has a long history of needing to be defended against small boys, blind female poets and elderly cartoonists. Sometimes Muslims have to defend Islam against each other, the way they are now doing in Syria. Other times defending Islam requires demolishing its archeological sites, the way that the Saudis are doing. Either way defending Islam is difficult work. Everyone in a war usually claims to be defending against something. But the younger Tsarnaev was not really angry about Afghanistan or Iraq. He wasn’t defending them. He was defending Islam. If you want to defend Afghanistan, then all you have to do is board a plane to Pakistan and then make the right contacts and find your way across the border to join a band of likeminded fellows fighting to defend your new country from women who can read. But to defend Islam, you can stay at home in Boston and kill little boys.. What is this thing called Islam? We can call it a religion, but that doesn’t tell us much. Defining religion is a famously tricky affair. The bombmaking instructions in Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine begin by telling the would-be defender of Islam that the key ingredient in building a pressure cooker bomb, like the one used at the Boston Marathon, is trust in Allah. There is a kind of faith in that, but it’s more like the kind of prayer you expect to hear Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson utter to a god that they made in their own murderous image. Serial killers praying to a patron deity of serial killers to help them murder little boys in defense of a religion whose faith is in the murder of little boys. But the whole thing need not be all that mysterious. Western man spent much of the last century threatening to fight to the death over the political and economic system that he would live under. Dispense with the label of religion and the sight of two angry young men setting off bombs in an American city is not all that alien. Neither is their motive. There are two Islams that we can conceive of; the private and the public. It is it not difficult to see which of these the Tsarnaevs were defending. Despite the morbid fantasies of the real Islamophobia industry, practiced by CAIR and the left, no one was holding down either of the brothers and shoving pork in their mouths or forbidding them from reading the Koran. The government has carved out broad swaths of entitlements for Islamic religion in a country where Iftar is celebrated in the White House and the Department of Justice sues any store that thinks twice of frowning at a Hijab. It’s the public Islam that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar were defending. The private Islam forbids Muslims to eat pork or drink liquor The public Islam bars pork or liquor from being sold. The private Islam tells women to cover their hair. The public Islam establishes an entire system of police and judges to compel them to cover their hair. Western liberals like to think of Islam as a private religion, in the tradition of most of its extant religions, but it isn’t. Islam cannot function for very long as a private religion just as Communism could not function for very long as a private experiment on a few communal farms. It is an all or nothing system. Its fundamental expression is public. In private, it withers and dies. The private Islam need not be defended with bombs. The public Islam must be The private Islam need not be defended with bombs. The public Islam must be. And as with so many totalitarian systems, when it speaks of freedom, it means slavery, when it talks of peace, it means war, and when it claims defense, it means attack. Why did Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev detonate bombs at the Boston Marathon? They were engaged in an old disagreement over political systems. Terrorists of the left set off bombs to force a political revolution. Their Islamist fellow-travelers are doing the same thing. Dig away enough of the trappings of the celebrity murderer and you come to the ideas buried underneath all the rubble. The Tsarnaevs are not the first terrorists to kill Americans in the name of a political idea. If they are radicals and extremists, than so are the likes of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. What difference is there between the radicals who detonated bombs to impose the rule of the left and those who detonate bombs to impose the rule of Islam? When it comes to the Weather Underground, the media is eager to discuss their ends, but not their means. And when it comes to the Tsarnaevs, the media will discuss their means, but not their ends. Dealing with the violence of the left would only make the left look bad. And dealing with the agenda of the terrorists would make the left’s plan for a multicultural society seem unworkable. It would make it clear that terrorism is not random, but a violent means of imposing an idea. And it is the idea that is the issue. If we are going to discuss Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, let us spend a little less time on their endless parade of relatives and former friends, and a little more time on the idea in whose defense they chose to kill and maim so many. Let us discuss Islam, not just as an abstract idea, but as a concrete political system. Let us discuss it the way that we discuss the plans and platforms of the Republican and Democratic parties. Let us look at Saudi Arabia, at Pakistan and at the new Egypt to see what this thing that the terrorists would like to impose on us is. Despite thousands dead, a searching examination of that sort is exactly what the media would like to avoid. It does not want another “Better Red than Dead” or “Better Dead than Red” debate. It wants us to speak of foreign policy as an isolated American act and of random violence as arising from thin air. It does not want us to understand the nature of the struggle. It does not want us to know why we die. It is determined to keep from us the reason why Muslims kill.

On the verge of creating and Imperial Dictatorship

On the verge of creating and Imperial Dictatorship Presidential Executive Orders; Constitutional or Criminal? As new polls indicate that only 4% of Americans think more gun control is an important issue, and the United States Senate, even if just temporarily, did the right thing and voted to stop further infringement of the the 2nd Amendment, this illegal and imperial President has indicated he intends to “write law” via yet another unconstitutional Executive Order. Article II does not give any President the authority to write legislation or to adjudicate laws which affect the citizens of this country. The executive order can only be used, constitutionally, for the administration of government operations and employees. Article I, specifically gives legislation over the people to only the Congress. A common misconception which has been used to excuse the unlawful use of the Executive Order is that every President, including George Washington has used them. While this is “factually” correct, it is not true that George Washington abused it. His EO’s were limited to the operation of the Executive Branch and did not ever legislate laws for anyone outside of the government. However, the most wide reaching violation of the Executive Order came from one of this country’s greatest Presidents, Abraham Lincoln. His Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 was, for certain, noble, just and something long needed and overdue. For that reason, that Executive Order met small and disorganized opposition from the legislative branch and….... the precedent was set. Other Presidents then began ignoring the Constitution while the Congress sat by like twiddle-dee and twiddle-dumb. The Executive Order issued on December 7th, 1941, by the left’s most popular and loved President, FDR, ordered the rounding up of and imprisoning American citizens. This order was not only unconstitutional relating to Article I, but it violated every right and protection our Constitution guaranteed to the people. Over the years, because neither the Congress nor the Courts have stepped in to stop the power grab by the executive branch, the violations of our Constitution, by most Presidents, has persisted, increased and now is on the verge of creating and Imperial Dictatorship. It has become so pervasive and common that the implementation of Executive Orders is described thusly: “Regulations issued by the president that do not require Congressional approval, become law after 30 days.” First of all, where did that decree come from? Its certainly not found in the Constitution. And notice how they so cavalierly confront the Constitution by pronouncing the order as ” becoming law”, an authority the President does not have. When an executive order creates or amends Federal regulations or creates or amends existing law, those orders are illegal and are impeachable offenses. The executive order was intended to give authority to the Chief Executive to set rules for how the executive branch would operate. Not to a allow the circumvention of the authority of the other two branches. As TPATH has stated on other occasions, if any aspect of our Constitution is ignored, for any reason, all aspects of it are in jeopardy. Congress, over the decades, having neglected their legal oversight concerning legislation and more recently allowing the eligibility requirements as defined in Article II, Section 1, to go unenforced, has endangered our country to the point where calling it a Republic seems almost ludicrous. If we are to survive, not as wards and serfs of the state, but a free people, the Congress had better step up and stop the illegal use of the Executive Order and thereby halting this dictator “wannabe” before it’s too late. If its not already.

Terrorism denial isn't just an intellectual error; it is a grave danger to the lives of Americans

Terrorism denial isn't just an intellectual error; it is a grave danger to the lives of Americans Terrorism Without a Motive Means, opportunity and motive are the three crucial elements of investigating a crime and establishing the guilt of its perpetrator. Means and opportunity tell us how the crime could have been committed while motive tells us why it was committed. Many crimes cannot be narrowed down by motive until a suspect is on the scene; but acts of terrorism can be. Almost anyone might be responsible for a random killing; but political killings are carried out by those who subscribe to common beliefs. Eliminate motive from terrorism and it becomes no different than investigating a random killing. If investigators are not allowed to profile potential terrorists based on shared beliefs rooted in violence, that makes it harder to catch terrorists after an act of terror and incredibly difficult before the act of terror takes place. The roadblock isn’t only technical; it’s conceptual. Investigations consist of connecting the dots. If you can’t conceive of a connection, then the investigation is stuck. If you can’t make the leap from A to B or add two to two and get four, then you are dependent on lucky breaks. And lucky breaks go both ways. Sometimes investigators get lucky and other times the terrorists get lucky. Federal law enforcement was repeatedly warned by the Russians that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was dangerous, but operating under the influence of a political culture that refused to see Islam as a motive for terrorism, it failed to connect the dots between Chechen violence in Russia and potential terrorism in the United States, and because it could not see Islam as a motive, as a causal factor rather than a casual factor, it could find no reason why Tamerlan was a threat not just to Russia, but also to the United States. Nidal Hasan’s killing spree at Fort Hood was put down to workplace violence, but workplace violence isn’t a motive, it’s a bland description The missing motive factor has led to a rash of lone wolf terrorists whose acts are classified as individual crimes. Nidal Hasan’s killing spree at Fort Hood was put down to workplace violence, but workplace violence isn’t a motive, it’s a bland description. The motive was obvious in Hasan’s background and his behavior; but the military, an organization that by its nature has to be able to predict the actions of the enemy, had been crippled and left unable to see Islam as a motive. The current working concept is that by refusing to allow our military and law enforcement to identify Islam as a motive, we are stifling terrorist recruitment by preventing Muslim from identifying terrorist attacks with Islam. This ostrich theory of terror assumes that if we blind ourselves to the motives of the terrorists, then potential terrorists will likewise be blinded to their own motives. Any law enforcement protocol that prevents investigators from understanding the motives of the killers in the hope that this will take away that motive from the killers is absurdly backward. The investigators of terror are not the instigators of terror. A police detective arresting a rapist does not create rape. An FBI agent arresting a terrorist does not create terror. Identifying a crime does not create the crime. It makes it easier for law enforcement and the public to fight that crime. The insidious infiltration of blowback theory into terrorist investigations has dangerously subverted the ability of investigators to get to the truth and to catch the terrorists. Blowback theory assigns each act of Islamic terror an origin point in our actions. Everything that Muslim terrorists do is caused by something that we did. To those who believe in this linkage, the only way to fight Muslim terror is to stop inspiring it. The only way to defeat Islamic terrorism is to defeat ourselves. Blowback theory has been dressed up in academic language and expert jargon, but all it amounts to is Stockholm Syndrome with a lecture hall. Its essential postulate is that if we become more passive in our responses, a strategy that is usually described with the complementary term, “smart”, as in “smart war” and “smart investigation”, then the enemy will become more passive in response to our passivity because we are no longer inspiring his violence. Smart wars and smart investigations are those that don’t offend Muslims. The cost of the smart war in Afghanistan has been a very expensive and bloody defeat. The cost of the smart investigation can be seen in the streets of Boston or in Fort Hood. Any smart tactic based on inaction and ignorance, on throwing away advantages to seem less provocative, is not smart; it’s stupid. When things go unsaid because they are politically incorrect, then they will eventually go undone. And when they are both unsaid and undone, then it becomes impossible to think them. The concepts fade out of reach, the connections in what, Hercule Poirot, called the little grey cells, are no longer made and what was once a familiar mental shortcut becomes an entirely alien concept. Defeating ourselves in order to defeat Islamic terrorism is a dead end because we are not the source of that terrorism; we are its target. When we handicap ourselves out of a misguided notion that the best way to fight terrorism is with one hand tied behind our backs and an eyepatch on one eye, then Americans die. Islamic terrorism, once the starting point of any rational investigation, has become an uncomfortable endpoint uttered by uncooperative suspects who refuse to go along with the stress-motivated killing spree defense their lawyers are eager to put forward for them. It is the dark thing at the end of every investigation that politicians don’t want to talk about, reporters don’t want to write about and prosecutors grow reluctant to discuss for fear of offending judges and stifling career prospects. What connects a Tamerlan Tsarnaev to a Nidal Hasan to Ahmed in Jersey City or Mohamed in Minneapolis plotting the next attack? Without Islam as a motive, there is no way to fight the larger threat except as a discrete collection of seemingly random events. What connects a Tamerlan Tsarnaev to a Nidal Hasan to Ahmed in Jersey City or Mohamed in Minneapolis plotting the next attack? The official answer is nothing. One was a boxer and another was an army doctor and the third is just an Egyptian student or a Somali bank clerk. They have no motive in common except that of Islam. Motives identify links. They make it easier to stack events together as a trend. They make it possible to predict the next attack by looking at the common denominators that matter as opposed to the ones that don’t. And above all else, they combine together to give us a rational picture of the world so that we understand what we are experiencing and what we have to do about it. A man dropped onto a battlefield without having the concept of an army or a war will be bewildered and horrified by the incomprehensible experience of large numbers of individuals shooting at him for no reason. “Why do they all want to kill me?” he thinks. “Was it something I did?” Crime is personal. War is impersonal. The murderer has personal motives for his actions, but the motives of the soldier are irrelevant. In war, it is the organization that matters more than the individual. Wasting time predicting the movements of individual armies instead of soldiers is not productive. Attempting to understand terrorists as individuals, rather than members of a mass movement is equally a waste of time. Media accounts have presented various exculpatory motives for Tamerlan Tsarnaev ranging from the possible head injuries he may have suffered as a boxer to the murder of a best friend that investigators suspect he may carried out. All these motives are irrelevant, not because they may not have some figment of truth to them, but because they stopped mattering once he became what he was. One soldier may join the army because his girlfriend broke up with him, another because he lost his job and a third because he wants to impress his friends. Those motives may all be true, but they don’t matter. Once organized into a collective, their individual motives stop mattering and the collective motive takes over. Islamic terrorism is a collective motive Islamic terrorism is a collective motive. There is limited variation in the tactics and the thinking of terrorists. Whatever they may have been before they fully committed themselves to the war against civilization is an incidental matter. And the only piece of individual identity that matters is still the collective one of their Islamic background. That is still the greatest predictive factor of terrorism. The Islamic terrorist abandons his individuality and takes on an identity that asks him to love death more than life. His motives are no longer personal, but collective. He is a soldier in the Islamic war against civilization. His marching orders may come from Jihadi videos and magazines, but they provide him with training and an esprit de corps sufficient to the purposes of his campaign of terror. To strive to understand him as a father or a son, as a boxer or a doctor, is a waste of time. These biographical footnotes no longer represent him. They are the things he has discarded to become a messenger of death in obedience to a faith that values death more than life. Without understanding that, the terrorist becomes a cipher, another nice young man who suddenly turned violent, and the trend of terrorist attacks ceases to be a pattern and becomes a rash of horrifying incidents that can happen at any time. Terrorism is a form of war Terrorism is a form of war. It cannot be won without understanding that there is a battlefield and an enemy fighting for control of that battlefield. Without that understanding, our superiority in strength and our possession of the battlefield can only result in a temporary stalemate leading to a permanent defeat. Terrorism denial turns terrorist attacks into a cipher without a motive. If Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev had not carried out their attack at a public event in the age of the ubiquitous camera, then how long would law enforcement have chased down dead ends or searched for the Tea Party tax protesters that the political establishment expected them to find? Without a motive, there is no place to begin searching. Without Islam, there is no motive. Terrorism denial isn’t just an intellectual error; it is a grave danger to the lives of Americans. Terrorism denial created a space in which the Tsarnaev brothers were free to plot and kill. Terrorism denial cost the lives of three Americans and the bodily integrity of hundreds of others. Denying the Islamic motive for terror, makes it harder for law enforcement officer to do their job and easier for Muslim terrorists to do theirs.
