THE BEAR IN THE SUN: MOSCOW PROCLAIMS NEW "INTERNATIONAL ORDER" IN LATIN AMERICA... January 29, 2009 International News Analysis Today On January 28, 2009 a meeting in Moscow helped to undermine the position of the U.S. in Latin America and hasten the arrival of a new, and anti-American, "international order." Cuban president Raúl Castro, brother of the increasingly infirmed Fidel, arrived in Moscow to meet with the elite of Russia's ruling class in what the Cuban dictator described as an "historical event" of "great emotion." 
Moscow has always considered Cuba a "key ally" in Latin America, a region whose governments are, according to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, "natural allies in the formation of a more just and secure international order." Raúl stated that Latin America has a "growing strategic relationship" with Moscow. Havana already hosts a large and sophisticated Chinese electronic spy base, which replaced the Soviet-era Lourdes base closed in 2001. It remains uncertain how Moscow will express the "strategic relationship" with Cuba. Russian naval forces have recently visited Cuba, and there are reports that Moscow has considered placing bombers on the island. Moscow has already promised the Cuban regime military and technical aid, including assistance with "domestic security" measures. For years Cuba has had the well deserved reputation of a tropical gulag. Growing pressure from dissidents, however, has proved to be embarrassing to the island's Communist regime. Moscow has a proven track record in the elimination of those who make trouble for the Kremlin elite, and is apparently willing to share its experience with Havana. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the earliest days of the "new" Russia, individuals who have challenged Russia's political elite have been eliminated in a variety of ways, including being shot to death in the center of Moscow. Investigative journalists have been favorite targets. Recently, the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta asked state authorities to allow its journalists to carry firearms. Journalists, however, are not alone. Stanislav Markelov, a lawyer known for energetically defending human rights advocates, defending investigative journalists, and representing those accusing the Russian military of abuses, was gunned down mid-day in Moscow. During the same attack crusading journalist Anastasia Baburova was also murdered. Commenting on the killings, Igor Yakovlenko, head of the Russian Journalists' Union, remarked that "it is a disgusting symbol of our times that a lawyer and a journalist were killed at the same time." Russia's growing influence in Latin America extends to Venezuela, where millions of dollars in small arms, fighter jets, attack helicopters, and other weaponry support the Marxist regime of Hugo Chavez. Other leftist leaders in the region are working closely with Moscow: Argentina's president, Christiana Fernandez de Kirchner, Communist ex-guerrilla leader Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Chavez-want-to-be Evo Morales of Bolivia, Michelle Bachelet of Chile, and Raphael Correa of Ecuador. The regimes in Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Ecuador are also tied to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Spanish acronym, FARC), a communist narco-terror army which sells illegal drugs and arms throughout South and North American continents. Some of their best customers are the Mexican drug cartels along the U.S. border which are threatening the very existence of the Mexican state. Cuba and Venezuela also have close ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which is willing to share its nuclear knowledge with the Chavez regime. The new "international order" that Moscow and Havana advocate is patently anti-American and includes the most violent, oppressive groups and states in the world. This is Socialism in action. Led by dictators and supported by secret police organizations, Latin America's socialist governments seek an international socialist system and an end to the economic and political system in United States as we now know it. We place ourselves in peril if we ignore this threat. | ||||||

The Tea Party Movement, The GOP & Making It Work...
By Frank Salvato
Only the most partisan and/or politically ignorant among us would fail to recognize the magnitude, importance and the consequences of the Tea Party Movement. To be certain, it is a force to be reckoned with. But, as with the science of storms, there is a danger when two forces compete to occupy the same space. We of the Right side of the aisle must recognize this danger and insist that actions are taken, definitions are designated and roles are recognized, lest we turn an important moment in time into catastrophic history.
The Tea Party Movement The first thing we have to do is to recognize and understand exactly what the Tea Party Movement is, where it came from and why.
Many in the political world have erroneously identified the Tea Party Movement as a political group not unlike the Democrats, Libertarians or Republicans. In fact, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Proof to this reality is in the fact that people who have embraced the Tea Party Movement come from every flavor of politics. When over a million people descended on Washington in the name of the Tea Party Movement last Fall, the crowd was comprised of people from every political party – sans the Progressives, every social background, every religion and every race. To say that it is dominated by any one political party is to make a huge mistake.
The Tea Party Movement – and the name itself is symbolic rather than manufactured – is, in reality, the re-awakening of the American people to their obligation to civic responsibility; to governmental oversight. This is nothing new or revolutionary, as was the original Boston Tea Party of 1773.
This re-awakening is actually a return to the obligation of citizenry as envisioned by the Founders and Framers. People like Jefferson, Adams, Washington, Franklin and Madison took for granted that the citizenry would understand their role in government: that of the overseer. The Founders and Framers believed that we would be vigilant in providing governmental oversight, in understanding just who we were electing to office and in holding them accountable for their actions. In short, they believed we, as citizens, would do our part by paying attention to government.
The truth is We the People began to abdicate this solemn responsibility with the advent of government entitlement and as apathy increased, political opportunists, ideologues and nefarious elements – such as the Progressive Movement, the globalists and their proxies – took hold in government. As we slid ever deeper into the abyss of political apathy we lost out government to special interest groups and those who would want to “fundamentally transform” our country from a Constitutional Republic to a cog in a new One-World Order.
The Tea Party Movement is – for all practical purposes – We the People re-establishing our rightful place at the top of the governmental food chain, from whence all the power of government is derived. It is not a political party. It is the American people re-establishing their constitutional right of governmental oversight and redress of government.
Re-Establishing the GOP Brand Understanding that the Republican Party can never “own” the Tea Party Movement – essentially because the Tea Party Movement is a mindset and not an entity – there remains the issue of re-establishing the Republican brand.
The fact that the Republican brand is in trouble – and has been since at least 2006 – is attributable not only to the lack of governmental oversight by We the People, but by the lack of oversight targeting the political party hierarchy by rank-and-file Republicans. The GOP allowed itself to be co-opted – to a great extent – by inside-the-beltway political operatives that cared more about winning elections than advancing Republican principles.
To recap, aside for its staunch stance against slavery and its support of the Missouri Compromise, the original platform of the Republican Party circa 1856 establishes that the Republican Party stood for:
▪ A rededication of government to constitutional principles, philosophies and limitations
▪ A well-maintained infrastructure
And perhaps the most important and defining provision,
“RESOLVED, That we invite the affiliation and cooperation of the men of all parties, however differing from us in other respects, in support of the principles herein declared; and believing that the spirit of our institutions as well as the Constitution of our country, guarantees liberty of conscience and equality of rights among citizens, we oppose all legislation impairing their security.”
Simply stated, the platform of 1856 created the “big tent” party that Republican National Committee members say they quest for today by limiting the planks in the platform and by employing the understanding that it is more important to safeguard an individual’s right to advance their own “special interest” agenda (please understand that the term “special interest” doesn’t necessarily mean something unsavory) than it is to champion that special interest as a part of the party’s platform.
This concept is brilliance in practice.
The Republicans who crafted the original platform understood that legislating the micromanagement of specific societal mores was a no-win proposition. If one administration choose to advance legislation – or even the establishment of a constitutional amendment – to champion a specific special interest issue, it was understood that all that would be necessary to render that legislation moot would be for a future administration, in possession of an opposing view on the issue, to simply overturn or craft legislation nullifying the prior legislation. They recognized that legislated solutions to societal and/or cultural ills would never – and could never – render the issue resolved. A perfect example of this comes in the issue of prohibition.
Instead, the Republicans who established the original party platform understood that protecting the right of the individual – the right of the individual – to affect societal change and establish cultural mores outside the confines of government was the singular effective political component in resolving societal differences. The Republican Party of 1856 stood for defending the individual’s right to affect society and the societal norms, and they expected that the citizenry would be self-motivated and self-sufficient enough to embrace that freedom and the self-ordained civic responsibility to engage on behalf of their societal beliefs.
Today, aside from recovering from the moniker of spendthrift, the Republican Party has morphed into a mirror image of the Progressive-held Democrat Party. They say “black” and the GOP says “white.” They have planks in their platform about separation of church and state, abortion, gay rights, etc. and the GOP simply takes the opposite viewpoint. This tactic does not create a choice, it creates division. It does not advance the principles and philosophy of Americanism, it advances factionalism with the body politic, something James Madison and George Washington identified as a direct threat to the Republic.
In re-branding the Republican Party, the leadership would serve its members – and the country – best by refusing to expand the platform to include special interest planks and, instead, returning to the limited plank platform of its roots, where the party championed individual freedom and individual responsibility and engagement where issues of societal mores were concerned, not the legislation of ideological solutions or social engineering. The GOP must resign itself to defending an individual’s right to affect change, not to being the vehicle for that change.
The Role of Today’s GOP & The Tea Party Movement As I stated in the beginning, in the science of storms, there is a danger when two forces compete to occupy the same space. This is exquisitely illustrated in the dichotomy of power now playing out between the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Party, most significantly where candidates for office are concerned.
I was heartened to hear that Republican National Committee Political Director Gentry Collins stated the RNC would exercise a “light touch” in the 2010 midterm elections. This approach promises to diminish what could have been a disastrous confrontation between candidates championed by the Tea Party Movement and candidates “mandated” by the RNC. But this is simply a commutation of the inevitable unless a reformation is undertaken by the RNC hierarchy.
In re-branding itself, it would wise for the GOP to take the opportunity afforded by this unique moment in American history to re-invent itself. The Republican National Committee – along with Republican organizations at every level – must re-structure itself to be less the inside-the-beltway command and control entity (an entity that mandates candidates and strong-arms platforms and agendas, which it has most certainly evolved into) and re-dedicate itself to becoming more of a mammoth and viciously efficient support and organizational tool that embraces candidates sent up from the grassroots; Conservatives re-awakened to their constitutionally mandated civic responsibility who have taken it upon themselves to run for office in 2010, 2012 and through the future.
If the Republican Party can wrap its brain around the strategic brilliance of this re-invention, it will position itself to be the preferred political party of those in the Tea Party Movement; it will be the avenue and political structure through which the Tea Party Movement advances their preferred candidates.
If the Republican Party refuses to understand the dramatically changed political landscape of the country, if they refuse to evolve from the inside-the-beltway mentality that allows for the existence of egotistical power-players no different from the elitists now in control of Congress, should the GOP insist on maintaining the status quo, they will be compromised, marginalized and, perhaps, even destroyed by the re-awakening of the American people to their constitutionally mandated obligation to governmental engagement and oversight.
Simply put, the GOP can either adapt or become ineffective.

Resident-Elect Obama Sets NEW Tone in By JB Williams ©2008 USA Blagojevich Arrested – Because Barack Obama is constitutionally unqualified to become president of the But before resident-elect Barack Obama can be crowned the official messiah on January 20th, he has hit a few snags in his promise to “change” leftist corruption in
Other than Obama’s effort to keep Hillary Clinton out of the country visiting the most dangerous parts of the world by naming her Secretary of State for the next four years, not a damn thing seems to be going well for the incoming messiah. Liberals Expected What Kinds of Change? Even the drunkest college student at the grass roots of the Obama coup was smart enough to know that at best, Obama was a know nothing, done nothing, nobody. Even if they couldn’t connect the dots between his twenty years of ill-fated friendships, they still knew he was a big phat nothing... So, why did they choose him over Hillary? We were going to get a third Politically speaking, his résumé was clear. He’s a kindergartener in the high finance school of left-wing political leadership. As such, he is being led around by the nose, as any intelligent American could have predicted. This is the problem with getting college kids who have yet to take responsibility for themselves all stirred up about politics and sending them into a voting booth still hung over from the frat party the night before. Garbage in, equals garbage out... Making History Alright The 2008 election will go into history books as the year Americans became stupid enough to elect Obama.
Now that’s history in the making! Meanwhile in A trillion in taxpayer funded bailouts has done nothing to stem the tide of impending economic disaster, the free world remains at war with international terrorism, Democrat run states are begging for another trillion in freshly printed monopoly money to buy them out of their financial irresponsibility, and Republicans are stumbling around dazed and confused about how they squandered their power and were relegated to their own private political sandbox, far from power. In case you think things can’t get any worse, you had better start thinking for yourself a little.

No Magic Turnaround Americans foolish enough to elect the very people responsible for bankrupting everything they touch, are also foolish enough to keep believing in a false hope of magic change, until the wolf is standing at their front door. The 111th Congress is being sworn in as I write this column. New members of congress stand and applaud themselves, as they begin the diligent work of dismantling If they don’t shove trillions in printed funny money into the economy they have wrecked, it will continue to be flushed down the crapper.

A new tone indeed! But it is “change” and it will “make history” and that’s what Americans voted for.... That’s the dangerous thing about freedom. The same freedom that allows one to succeed beyond their wildest dreams, also allows them to choose failure. And the same freedom that allows individual liberty and happiness, allows us to choose self-destruction as well. We have chosen poorly... and now, we must pay the piper.

In times past, coalminers working in the depths of the earth took along caged canaries. As long as the canaries warbled, the miners knew they were safe from the methane and carbon monoxide that would kill them in minutes. But when the tiny songbirds stopped singing, the miners knew to run for their lives. Jews have always been the canaries in the coal mines of civilization, serving as a warning of impending doom to those who believed, as Churchill said, that the crocodile — of tyranny — would eat them last. The Jews of Hitler's Germany who listened carefully to the savage dictator's early words, and watched as his promises of hope and change morphed into incremental losses of freedom and ultimately genocide, fled their country and survived, while the six-million who said "it can't happen here" — as well as six-million non-Jews who believed they were immune — perished in the largest mass-murder in history. After Hitler's brutal annihilation of half the Jews on earth, the straggling survivors established the State of Israel, which in less than 50 years became a formidable power, and also a world obsession — admired and respected but also envied and loathed. Since Israel's founding in 1948, America has been the Jewish state's most steadfast supporter, even when this or that president was not particularly enamored of "the Jews" — with the stark exception of Jimmy Carter who, to this day, oozes Jew-hatred from his aging pores. Why? Because, unlike every state in the Middle East and every anti-freedom regime on earth, Israel embodies all of our country's values — the ideal of democracy, the rule of law, a determination to fight the enemies of Western civilization, and a fidelity to the Judeo-Christian ethics that have made both America and Israel shining lights among freedom-loving nations. Today, with the advent of the Obama administration, Israeli canaries are chirping loudly, warning the entire world, particularly America but also Europe, that if Israel is sacrificed to Obama's far-left anti-Israel and anti-American agenda, then freedom-loving, God-fearing countries around the world will be suffocated and sacrificed to a new American caliphate — to the harsh and inflexible rule of Islamic theology, philosophy and law. SHARPENING THE MACHETE To prepare for his meeting on May 18 with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Obama prepared a menu of poison pills — the kind given to people with the same Hobson's Choice that Mafia attorney Tom Hagen gave to the imprisoned and about-to-testify-before-Congress Frankie Pentangeli in "Godfather Two" — either commit suicide or we're going to kill you. Examples abound.
Anne Bayefsky of www.eyeontheun.org explains Obama's nefarious plans perfectly: "President Obama unveiled a new strategy for throwing Israel to the wolves. It takes the form of enthusiasm for the United Nations and international interlopers of all kinds. Instead of ensuring strong American control over the course of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations or the Arab-Israeli peace process, the Obama administration is busy inserting an international mob between the U.S. and Israel. The thinking goes: If Israel doesn't fall into an American line, Obama will step out of the way, claim his hands are tied, and let the U.N. and other international gangsters have at their prey." The Obama formula, based not on an American or Israeli plan but rather on the "Saudi Peace Initiative," involves:
GOING IN FOR THE KILL In spite of more than a half-century of Arab belligerence, war-mongering, suicide bombings, and virulent anti-Israel propaganda blaring from mosques and the media, brainwashing school texts, maps that eliminate the Jewish state, and obdurate resistance to all peace initiatives, Caroline Glick says that "as far as the Obama administration is concerned, Israel is the only obstacle to peace....the Obama White House's bald attempt to force Israel to take full blame for the Arab world's hostility toward it is not the only way that it is casting Israel as the scapegoat for the region's ills. In their bid to open direct diplomatic ties with Iran, Obama and his advisors are also blaming Israel for Iran's nuclear program." "Even Ethan Bronner of the The New York Times pointed out," Glick continues, "that Obama's Middle East policy is not based on facts. If it were, the so-called 'two state solution,' which has failed repeatedly since 1993, would not be its centerpiece. Obama's Middle East policy is based on ideology, not reality. Consequently, it is immune to rational argument. By blaming Israel for the absence of peace in the Middle East while ignoring the Palestinians' refusal to accept Israel's right to exist; by seeking to build an international coalition with Europe and the Arabs against Israel while glossing over the fact that at least the Arabs share Israel's concerns about Iran; by exposing Israel's nuclear arsenal and pressuring Israel to disarm while in the meantime courting the ayatollahs like an overeager bridegroom, the Obama administration is telling Israel that regardless of what it does, and what objective reality is, as far as the White House is concerned, Israel is to blame." Sound familiar? As I documented in recent articles — "Obama's Revenge" and "The President Who Hates His Country" — Obama and his Leftist cronies revile Western civilization and all those evil white men who established the U.S. Constitution and the most productive, most generous and freest country in world history, as he so amply demonstrated in his recent apologize-for-America trip to Europe. In an article, "The United Hates of America," David Solway comments on "...the long and destabilizing campaign of the American Left against the political interests of its own country and its rush to embrace the dictatorial agendas of America's most resolute enemies...'the unholy alliance' between the radical Left and the Islamic Right." Solway also comments on a new book by Jamie Glazov, "United in Hate": "Glazov's "analysis," Solway continues, "seems the only conceivable means of making sense of the leftist orgy of national treason, betrayal of genuine liberal principles, and passionate support of tyrants and demagogues. It also clarifies the bizarre and singular marriage between the Left and Islamism. Glazov writes that the 'common denominator' between two such improbable bedfellows — the one ostensibly promoting gender equality, freedom of speech, and a pluralistic society, and the other predicated on gender apartheid, theocratic coercion, and conformity to Sharia law — is a belief in redemptive violence. This is why so many on the secular Left...exulted in the carnage of 9/11, as did their fundamentalist counterparts in the Islamic world, like the Palestinians who danced in the street and handed out candies to celebrate the great event. For the members of the anti-American Left, their papers and speeches were the candies they distributed to mark this sublime and long-awaited triumph. "Yet another important common denominator, Glazov explains, between the Western Left and Islamism is their shared hatred for the state of Israel, the only true, democratic nation in the Middle East and the West's forward position in the war against an undeviating adversary. The Left abominates Israel as a mini-America, that is, as a colonial occupier of third world innocents, and as a symbol of all the things it loathes: 'modernity, freedom, corporate capitalism and globalization — all things reviled by Muslim fundamentalists. It has thus allied itself with militant Islam on the principle that 'my enemy's enemy is my friend.'" So we know where Obama and his henchmen-and-women stand. And we know that they've read every Jew-hating, Israel-hating word of The Fatah (Palestinian) Constitution and agree with every defamatory, racist, genocidal tenet of this kill-the-Jews-and-destroy-Israel manifesto, which they apparently find less objectionable than the U.S. Constitution. OBAMA'S ANTI-ISRAEL COLLABORATORS Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, has long and deep ties with the enemies of America and Israel. This is what Dick Morris, former advis= or to President Clinton, and his wife, Eileen McGann, wrote last year:
Lee Hamilton, as Lasky writes, is a key Obama advisor on Middle Eastern affairs. A former Indiana Representative, Hamilton led the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group, which concluded, among other things, that the withdrawal of troops from Iraq should be coordinated with Syria and Iran! And that the U.S. should develop Syrian "goodwill" by pressuring Israel to surrender the Golan Heights and leave the West Bank — but not a word about dismantling Hamas or Hezbollah! Hamilton wrote in the NY Times that Hezbollah's "hatred was created by Israel; it wasn't there at the beginning." Zbigniew Brzezinski, Carter's National Security Advisor, has been one of Israel's most consistently hostile critics and Hamas's most ardent supporters, as well as a staunch admirer (both in writing and verbally) of Stephen Walt's and John Mearsheimer's= virulently anti-Israel book, "The Israel Lobby," which, among other things, contends that Jewish pressure, and not shared values, binds America and Israel together. James ("F... the Jews") Baker, among the harshest detractors of Israel, has often engaged in raw anti-Semitic remarks, is known for coddling Middle East dictators (including Syria's Assad), and has been heavily invested (through the Carlyle Group) in the Israel-hating country of Saudi Arabia. In fact, Baker's law firm defended the Saudi Defense Minister who was sued for alleged complicity by the families of the World Trade Center victims. Samantha Power, now on Obama's National Security Council, has advocated ending all U.S. military aid to Israel and written of her willingness to "alienate a domestic constituency of tremendous political and financial import [American Jews]...it may more crucially mean sacrificing...billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel's military, but actually investing in the state of Palestine." Believe me, the above is the short list. As Glick has written: "In the past, while anti-Israel politicians, policy makers and opinion shapers were accepted in Washington, they would not have felt comfortable brandishing their anti-Israel positions as qualifying credentials for high position...today in Washington there are powerful circles of political players for whom a person's anti-Israel bona fides are his strongest suit." OBAMA'S COURT JEWS Oh, I can hear the blather as I type: But what about all the Jews who voted for Obama and are in his cabinet and among his advisors? Make no mistake — Obama's Court Jews are identical to those of the past who financed, supported, licked the boots of and sold out their people in order to gain the personal influence, privileges, wealth, and protection that the "nobles" afforded them. They helped Roman emperors kill Jews. They helped Hitler kill Jews. But after their groveling and traitorous service, they were blamed for economic downturns and used as scapegoats to explain away the failures of the evil regimes and leaders they abetted. Fools and dupes, to a person! Journalist Melanie Phillips writes that "Obama is attempting to throw Israel under the Islamist bus, and he's getting American Jews to do his dirty work for him...none of this, however, should come as the slightest surprise to anyone who paid any attention to Obama's background, associations and friendships before he became President and to the cabal of Israel-bashers, appeasers and Jew-haters he appointed to= his administration, with a few useful idiots thrown in for plausible deniability." In an article entitled THE FINAL SOLUTION — What Hitler didn't finish, Obama will, blogger Daniel Greenfield (Sultanknish.blogspot.com) explains:
While outwardly courting Jews, Obama's people have also been quietly shoving Jewish organizations and their leaders into a corner. Within the Jewish organizational world there has been a silent but deadly takeover of major Jewish groups by left wing radicals. Former alumni of the far left wing and anti-Israel groups like Breira or Coname in the 70's have been elevated to key positions in such organizations as the UJA Federation. Behind the scenes any Jewish leaders who expressed even doubts about Obama during the primaries were intimidated and silenced. The overall idea is to keep a happy face pasted on American Jewry while the knives are out in the dark. But don't these smart Jews know they're being used? Yes and no. They've studied his= tory, but they think that the passage of time has made them immune from mistakes of the past. Of course they're wrong. Fools and dupes always get fooled and duped. Unfortunately — actually, stupidly — too many Jews, over the ages, have been seduced by the hope-and-change rhetoric of the Left, so yearning are they to be "included" and "accepted" into cultures that have ultimately rejected them. Just who are Obama's Court Jews? Rahm Emanuel, White House Chief of Staff and, in my opinion, Chief of Dupes. As writer Judith Apter Klinghoffer reminds us: "By choosing a Jewish chief of staff to do the dirty work, Obama showed himself a 'worthy' successor to LBJ. Arthur Goldberg was LBJ's point man to read the riot act to Israel. It was his Jewish U.N. representative that was charged with berating Israel for daring to retaliate against Palestinian acts of terror in 1966 and to inform Israel that it should not rely on any American assistance against Nasser in may 1967." And now Emanuel is taking the bait, currying favor for his figurative 10-minutes of fame, the better to sell out his Israeli-born father and the land his father heroically fought for in the early years of Israel's existence. David Axelrod, the chief strategist and media advisor for Obama's 2008 presidential campaign and now a White House insider, is not front-and-center about his hero's antagonism toward Israel. But as the old chestnut says: Silence is Consent! Robert Malley is another fan of Hamas and Hezbollah. According to Wikipedia, Malley is the son of Simon Malley, an Egyptian-born Jewish journalist, and Barbara Silverstein, a New Yorker who worked for the U.N. delegation of the Algerian National Liberation Front. Both loathed Israel and apparently passed their toxic DNA onto their son. Malley has often called for an end to all aid to Israel. Dennis Ross, Obama's special adviser for the Persian Gulf and Southwest Asia, which includes Iran, participated in 12 years of failed Israeli-Palestinian "peace" efforts. In 2001, he suggested that future negotiations ought to be based on "something the parties have put on the table, and not [what] the United States has put on the table." Translated today, that would mean listening to the 22 hostile states that surround Israel and saying "majority rules!" George Soros, the Budapest-born multibillionaire (and Nazi collaborator) has devoted his entire life, as writer Srdja Trifkovic points out, to supporting "increased government spending and tax increases, drug legalization, euthanasia, open borders and immigr= ation, immigrant entitlements, feminism, free abortion-on-demand, affirmative action, and gay rights" and "remains primarily committed to destroying the remaining bastions of the family, sovereign nationhood, and Christian Faith..." He is also devoted to vilifying Israel and funding numerous groups that work unstintingly to bring about its destruction. Again, this is the short list. But the entire list of Obama "advisors" on Middle East affairs is comprised of hard-core Leftists who want nothing more than to see America humiliated and Israel destroyed. As Lasky has said, "This is the company Barack Obama keeps." CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED Melanie Phillips calls the Obama administration's "malice" toward Israel "incomprehensible in its suicidal stupidity."
And writer Tom Gross says that "the threat of a nuclear arsenal in the hands of the only government in the world (Iran) that promotes suicide bombing as a matter of state policy (by its client militias in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq and elsewhere), and celebrates 'martyrdom of its fellow Muslims' in such attacks, is a threat quite unlike any the world has ever seen. The combination of weapons of mass destruction and jihadist ideology poses a problem of much greater magnitude than that when secular dictatorships and semi-dictatorships, such as Russia, China and North Korea and Pakistan, possess nuclear bombs. In addition to posing an existential threat to Israel, a nuclear Iran could mean the end of American influence in the Middle East. Tehran, not Washington would dominate oil in the region." But none of these threats, not only to the Middle East but also to America, are of any import to President Obama. In his single-minded obsession to appease our enemies and get rid of his "Jewish problem," he is willing to sacrifice the safety and security of America, the country he can't stop apologizing for. Or is that he has a Muslim problem and the Jews and Israel are simply in the way?

Undermining Our Sovereignty from Without & Within.. Written By: Nancy Salvato... DOWNERS GROVE, IL. (NS/NMJ) - The first amendment to the United States Constitution expressly prohibits the United States Congress from making laws that infringe on the freedom of the press. While it should be expected that those elected to the legislature have at least a basic understanding of the Bill of Rights, this is not necessarily the case. “Those who have held elective office earn an average score of 44% on the civic literacy test, which is five percentage points lower than the average score of 49% for those who have never been elected.” Neither score bodes well for the state of our nation. If we are to continue to be a sovereign country, we must understand the rule of law and why each and every word of the founding documents are so important to the defense of our nation and to the continuation of our freedoms. While copies of the founding documents (Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Bill of Rights) can be found freely on the internet, the basic understanding of the meaning behind the Founders’ and Framers’ words appears lost on a great many Americans. Perhaps this is why Google, a private corporation, has been allowed to get away with systematically censoring a great many authors and publications that call for a critical examination of radical Islam, take issue with the unfounded theory of global warming, and more recently, displayed criticism of extreme progressive left political candidates and principles. One can surmise that Google figures that since less than 50% of the people are not going to employ any intelligence in making sense of the founding documents or in trying to understand their relevance in today’s world, they don’t pose a threat to the utopian world order they are promoting at the expense of the rule of law that has guided our nation for over 200 years. Sadly, the lack of outrage over this censorship by a private search engine such as Google, which has virtually monopolized access to any information made available over the internet, has not only made it much more difficult to construct a well researched opinion about what is happening around the world and how these events may affect our way of life but it is literally revising our history as it is happening right before our eyes. This global ideology, which introduced Political Correctness (uniformity of thought) and has infiltrated our schools, our media, and our legal system and is threatening the future of our culture, is advanced by the fifth column and appears to be winning the hearts and minds of those who believe the propaganda associated with it. Adherents of this Marxist ideology embrace moral relativism and do not take the time to understand the importance of the Judeo/Christian influences on the fundamental values that guide our civilization. At the same time, our country is fighting a war against those who embrace a radical ideology whose goal is to impose Islamic rule over Infidels, those who doubt or reject the tenets of Islam. There have been three declarations of war against our country since 1996, when Osama Bin Laden declared war against the United States of America, followed by Al Qaeda’s 1998 “Fatwah” of Jihad against America (Fatwahs can only be issued by an Islamic religious figure) and most recently Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s letter, “widely interpreted as a peaceful overture” yet “is in fact a declaration of war” as evidenced by the closing salutation, “Peace only unto those who follow the true path." These terrorist groups or sponsors of terrorist groups likely already possess the means to create a nuclear explosion high above the United States that would produce an electromagnetic pulse in our atmosphere strong enough to severely damage all the civilian electrical power sources and electrical equipment on which our society relies. According to, The Report of the Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism, "Were one to map terrorism and weapons of mass destruction today, all roads would intersect in Pakistan." An explosion of this magnitude could set our civilization back hundreds of years. The comforts to which we’re accustomed would be gone. It’s nearly impossible to conceive what this would do to our present way of life. And that is the idea… The colonists had begun to settle this country one hundred years before they acquired the wherewithal to declare our independence. Should our country fall to nefarious forces, if our civilization witnesses a nuclear holocaust, we may never again experience life as we know it. The sovereignty of our country depends on the ability to protect our freedoms from without and from within. The continued public apathy and indifference to the encroachment on our protected rights will ultimately erase our liberties with nary a shot being fired.

Sher Zieve column Obama says not being a communist is selfish...  Sher Zieve During the waning days of the US presidential campaign, Barack Obama is feeling confident enough of his chances that he — at a recent rally — didn't dispute his being a Socialist. Obama was even a member of the New Democratic Socialist Party in the 1990s. Perhaps he will at some point even admit that his true intention for the USA is Soviet-style Communism. That, of course, will be after he is elected POTUS — largely due to his voter fraud strategic unit ACORN — and when it is too late for the all-too-many gullible American people to do anything about it.
During the aforementioned rally Obama said that his dastardly opposition had called him and his "spread the wealth" programs Socialistic, then added that in doing so these same opponents — McCain and Palin — had "made a virtue out of selfishness." With that he has said that Americans who do not agree with his Socialist (actually Communist) policies of theft-by-politicians are selfish. One can only surmise that — considering his recent and ongoing investigations of both "Joe the Plumber" and media member Barbara West — that anyone who complains about Obama's theft of their money will be intimidated and investigated to the proverbial "Nth" degree. After that, will there be prosecutions and possibly jail time — or worse? Looks like it. We already know that his prosecutorial "truth squads" are in effect in Missouri and at least one announced additional chapter exists in Pennsylvania under the auspices and rulings of Democrat Governor Ed Rendell. Obama's "Truth Squads," his suppression of the media who ask either Obama or his VP candidate Biden uncomfortable questions, his banning media outlets who support McCain and his [already] directing Democrat-run states to investigate "Joe the Plumbers" who ask the secular messiah and/or his vice-prophet Biden questions that cause either of them to tell the truth gives us a clear picture of what Obama's regime and ruling decrees will entail. An Obama presidency means free speech — including that which asks unapproved questions of Democrat candidates is out, gone, ended — kaput! He will redistribute your money — he has said so on multiple occasions including an NPR interview — to those he considers to be more deserving than you. Note: One can deduce — as this is true Soviet-style Communism and Chicago-thug politics — that the recipients of this redistribution will include Obama and his cronies. Obama has expressed disdain for the US Constitution and has already advised that he wants a new" Bill of Rights that is not as 'restrictive' to the government's treatment of its citizens. The above assertions have been well-documented as fact and it's time for some stark reality, folks. I've said it before but, it bears repeating. If you want the country to devolve into a Stalinistic government — that creates a permanent cabinet post for the Obama voter fraud unit ACORN (so that he will NOT ever be voted out) — vote for Barack Hussein Obama. If you want the USA to continue as a free Republic, vote Tuesday for John Sidney McCain. Remember, once a dictator seizes power, all bets are off. Any of the additional safeguards the founders incorporated into our US Constitution are moot if the ruling power chooses neither to follow nor to continue them. This country's Constitution can be ended with the stroke of a presidential pen and the Democrat power elite agreeing. Democrats Pelosi, Reid and Waxman have already told us that they will be redeploying the "fairness doctrine" in order to get rid of talk radio and conservatives — to end broadcast opposition to Democrats once and for all. Print media — whatever opposition still exists — will be next on their list. And with all 3 branches of government in their back pockets, they can and will finally destroy the country and set themselves up for never-ending and increasing power. The US Supreme Court's passing laws that agree with Marxism are only one associate justice's resignation away. Democracies can only last and be strong so long as people of good will and faith allow them to exist. Once those with opposite inclinations and intentions assume the reins of power, democratic republics end. Democracies — with not enough willing to protect them — die.
