Syria, a blockage in Obama’s Plan for a New World Order

http://news.yahoo.com/syria-holds-parliament-vote-opposition-boycotts-073812291.html  The rebellion in Syria will continue because the rebels state clearly that they will accept nothing other than the fall of Assad.  The article further states that the rebels regard the elections to Syria’s parliament as a sham and theat they will ignore anything that happens through the election process.  It is obvious that the rebels are not cooperating in the cease-fire and they are not cooperating to bring peace and stability to Syria.

This writer agrees that the Western powers, especially NATO should not in any way get involved in Syria’s problems.  I fear that the Obama administration will get very involved if Obama gets elected again.  Why di I think that>  It is because of Obama’s ideas concerning One World Government.  It is because the President has been restrained only due to his re-election efforts.  It is because of his remark to Mevedev that …tell Vladimir (Putin) that I will be unfettered after I am re-elected.  This reference to being unfettered concerns Obama’s disdain and disrespect for the US Congress which he regards as an odious roadblock on his path to one world government.  According to his ideas of a new world order, Obama sees the USA Congress as parochial and even meaningless.  He wants the USA to be under to world order that allows the United Nations and the European Parliament to have direct influence and even legal standing in the conduct of government in the USA.  Under such a one world government, the World Court in the Hague Netherlands would have subpoena power in USA, the United Nations would have legal standing so that the small arms treaty would be law here and Interpol could arrest and remove US citizens wanted by the Courts of Europe.  So, I believe that in a second term President Obama work tirelessly to bring about USA subservience to International Courts, European Tribunals and United Nations mandates.  In fact, he may even oversee the change of the world monetary system away from the dollar and toward a world currency denominated by the Chinese Yuan.  This letter move would make the USA a Second world country fast on its way, due to Obama’s redistribution of wealth schemes, …well on its way to third world status.

But some ask, surely such a thing cannot happen in the USA.  We have laws and a Constitution and an elected Congress.  Yes, but our system is based on the good will and the integrity of our leaders to act according to the law and to accept with integrity  the authority of legally elected officials over the central government.  It is based on the concept that our Federal government officials love America, think of their job as, first and foremost, the protection of the freedoms, rights and privileges of the USA citizen and their intention, in every way to abide by the rule of law.

However, the Obama administration is evidence of a group of elected leaders who mesmerize the population with their political craft all the while undermining and fundamentally changing the way in which the government rules.  The undermining was most obvious during the Obama Care process when Senators were bought and sold according to the dictates of the President.  Congressmen were told that their districts would get special money if the Representative would sell their vote to the Obama people.  Senators were promised as much as three hundred million dollars in federal grants to their States if the Senators would sell their votes to Obama.  And all were told that what they were doing in the Senate was merely to allow the Obamacare bill to be put onto the floor of the Senate so that discussion could begin.  What could be wrong with that?  But as soon as the bill was on the docket  all floor debate was immediately limited to a few hours and Harry Reid used his power to control procedures and the Bill was quickly rammed through.  It was hard enough to shove the ObamaCare bill through using deceit, bribery and brazen power.  Now try to get  two thousand pages repealed!  Noteworthy,  is the swiftness of the federal bureaucracy to disburse the pertinent parts of the two thousand page Bill to the various federal agencies and then to implement as much as possible with lightning speed.

I deeply regret to state the obvious, but those are the methods of dictators like Hitler, Stalin, Chavez.  Heretofore, the USA has not experienced such disregard for the will of the nation and its institutions.  But if the Obama people are going to insure yjr implementation of their view of the world and the way they think that the USA should be in the future, he needs and will continue to need to work very fast to fundamentally change the USA.  Hey, why do you think the Congress is balking?  It is not about Obama the man.  It is about Obama, his helpers and their plans to fundamentally transform the USA into a place where the Congress is disregarded, the Courts are circumvented, the Constitution is ignored and the New World Order instituted.  But you say, not in America and not Obama!  He has such a nice voice and such a pleasing smile!

I have written elsewhere on this blog concerning the deceit of the Obama administration regarding Libya.  The lies were so plain that they were incredible.  That is what Josef Goebbels called audacity.  That Nazi leader’s creed was to tell the people a lie often enough and they will believe it.  As NATO bombed (over two thousand bombs dropped on Libya) and used missiles, (over 220 cruise missiles shot into Libya) the USA administration told us that all the destruction was needed to protect Libya civilians.  And then as we assisted the rebel militias with advisors and used our European surrogate to arm the rebels, we hunted Gaddafi until we murdered him.  Now we are using the International Courts to ferret out all remains of the former legal Libyan government so we can try them in Netherlands for so-called “Crimes against Humanity.”  But, you say, those are the bad guys and they deserved to die!  Is the USA the Chicago Mafia and is Obama the Don? And are our USA Armed Forces the hit men? And our arsenal of drones the murder weapons?  Are we using our SEALS as a hit squad?  Is the US Air Force the weapon of political assassination?   It is a frightful thing when the President of the USA can order the murder of a suspected terrorist or someone implicated in attacks against America by sending a drone to kill them.  Effecient? Yes.  Effective? Yes.  And you say that our leaders will never use such weapons against ordinary people and surely not against the citizens of the Nation.  I hated Alawaki and he hated the USA and we “took him out” with a drone.  That’s called political murder.

As an American I find myself shivering to write that in the current events of today I look to Russia and to China as bulwarks against an unfettered Obama regime. Although communists, these nations were awakened from their slumber by the audacious lie which was NATO’s Agression against Libya.  I believe that Putin saw the danger of unbridaled American Imperialism and along with his Communist Chinese friends decided never again to fall for the NATO and UN lie as evidenced in resolution 1973.

To be continued….

 

The reports never mention the opposition forces that seek the overthrow of Assad.  Like with Libya, the Nato nations want to interfere and force the government to fall.  However, if a group of anarchists, or any other political group sought to overthrow the Obama government by force, it would be deemed treason and it would be suppressed by force and the perpetrators would be liable to execution.  So why is it different with Syria?  Obviously, the Obama government is already involved in the overthrow of the legal government of Libya by outside force.  In former days, the crime against Libya would have been condemned as criminal aggression and under Nuremberg rules it should be treated as a crime against humanity.

In the case of Libya, the Russian and Chinese were promised that UN resolution 1973 was merely to use NATO military force to protect so-called innocent civilians.  Once approved by UN, the British and French attacked the legal armed forces of the Legal Libyan government.  The excuse was that the army of the government “obviously” must be attacked in order to protect civilians.  After the 212 cruise missile strikes and the first two hundred jet fighter attacks against military installations inside of Libya, Vladimir Putin objected.  However, it was too late.  The drum beats of war had begun and the French and Brits would never accept that they were acting illegally.  So they increased their attacks with assistance from USA and the government of Belgium.  (It is very noteworthy that all three governments have a dirty colonial history of racial imperialism and genocide. (Belgium in Central Africa under King Leopold) However, the Academic community and the mass audience to Internet and TV reporting allowed themselves to condone criminal and wonton aggression because the “horrible” Gaddafi bombed a civilian aircraft over Lockerbie.  (Noteworthy here is that the Brits accepted the actual perpetrator of that crime to gain asylum in Europe.!)

Again Putin objected but to no avail and the military organization known as NATO ferociously attacked the Libyan government . And the world, its response was silence or cheering.  Silence because no one really cared about the Libyan people and cheering because of hatred for Gaddafi. By the way, NATO was originally meant to protect against Russian aggression. Amazing double standard that now they are open, obvious and arrogant aggressors.

All of this brings us to the current impasse with Syria.  The Russians and Chinese were betrayed with UN resolution 1973 and so far they have vowed not to let that happen again.  The NATO nations spent billions to wage war against Libya.  They have no taste for that kind of expense again.  They have expended their war budgets.  And the USA?  Carney’s admission of “defeat” is precursor to the coming proposal that the world community again take up war in the region.  And don’t forget the Iranians.

Obama is right not to arm the rebels.  Our own civil war dealt with the problem of outside forces as the British tried to interfere on the side of the South.  However, Carney does not mention if the Brits, French and Belgians are also refraining from funding, and arming the rebel insurrectionists.  In the light of NATO’s duplicity in the case of Libya, this writer thinks that they are secretly arming, advising and funding the insurrectionists.

When President Kennedy got involved with the war in Vietnam he decided to back the insurrection against President Diem.  The result was the murder of the President of South Vietnam in the back of a truck.  Kennedy, a co religionist with Diem, (both were Roman Catholic) intensely regretted the regicide of Diem.  Sadly, he was himself assassinated by those who have no respect for law or morality.  So far, the Obama government is content with political assassination by drone. And although the Obama government is guilty of complicity to murder Gaddafi, they have not committed to regicide by drone against Syrian President Assad.  If they did, the morality would dictate that political assassination of government leaders is righteous and therefore permissible, for anyone who thought the other guy was a so-called dictator and therefore illegitimate.  In these times when we express our politics forcefully and opening, I am sure that many individuals regard the government with suspicion.  Yet, we do not advocate violent overthrow.  What is moral for us should be our guide in dealing with others.

Dick Morris . Com

“The info about the number of fundraisers is interesting.  It is also interesting in terms of misuse of power since he rode in Air Force one for all of them.  He should not be allowed to pass that off because the SS (Secret Service) insisted.  The SEALS took out Osama not Obama.  So why is Obama taking credit for Osama?   As a former CIA person said on the news yesterday, it is startling to note that the Obama administration thinks that waterboarding live prisonerss is inferior to killing them outright.  I guess the reasoning is that intentional murder is preferred to intentional torture! I write a lot about this on my WordPress blog, Progressivepolitics.com”

I wrote the foregoing in answer to Dick Morris’ video concerning the deal between President Obama and former President Clinton.  I wholeheartedly agree that the deal is dirty, but for a difference reason.  I believe that former President Clinton has never been able to adjust to life away from the center of power.  That is why he stays around Washington and is actively engaged in politics.  He liked the position of power and the perks that went with the Presidency.  He thought he owned the White House when he lived there and has never gotten over the fact that President Bush had it for eight and now President Obama four years.  I believe he yearns for those days when he was the main man at the big house.  I also think he realizes how foolish he was to squander those days by an affair with Monica L.  As for Hilary, she settled for Secretary of State for the same reasons.  She missed the White House, and the tremendous array of personal services offered to the First lady by obsequious political functionaries.  A Senator?  In that position she never approached the luxury and power afforded her as wife of the President.  Sad to see her guzzling down a beer at the bar in South America!  So, we have the persons who formerly were fielders of power cutting a deal with the currently powerful in order thereby to win an election that presents them with continued power and access to personal services that would make a king blush.  Maybe it is better to have a five-year Presidency with no opportunity for re-election.  Ford went home, as did Carter.  Bush 41 and Bush 43 also relinquished the reins of government with ‘Elan.  But it looks from here like the Clinton’s and the Obama’s want to hold on so bad that they will put up with each other to achieve it.  Elect Romney and let the new broom sweep the house clean.

Romney being helped by the Voters

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/mitt-romney-gets-personal-campaign-trail-hopes-connecting-113125981.html  I really like this story and I appreciate the reporting skills of the reporter.  I also appreciate the editors who allowed this wonderful story to be published.  The key ingredient for me was that the voters are helping Romney.  I served in the US Army for thirty years and we had a slogan which I think was the best.  It said, “Be All that You Can Be!”  The essence of the slogan was that a person had personal traits that distinguished them from others.  These were the traits of the individual’s personal success.  The Army was not going to give these traits to the soldier.  He or she already had the traits.  The Army would release them, nurture them, and focus them so that the individual could “Be All that They Could Be.”  In this article about Governor Romney, we see that the voters see within the man unique character traits that they want him to release.  Therefore, the people in the audiences are happy when he allows himself to be himself.   Reading the article, I too, found this side of Governor Romney delightful.  However, I am in favor of Romney not because of his likeability, we had that with candidate Obama and we elected a likeable ideologue who seeks to fundamentally change the USA.  I am sure the supporters of Franco, Salazar, Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin all convinced themselves that their leaders were  likeable.  But we know them as tyrants.  I am in favor of Romney because of his experience as a Governor, entrepreneur, and very successful businessman.  The USA is a nation in need of a lover of the USA who wants to restore our great business system instead bashing it and the captains of its industry.  For myself, I intuited that the man Romney was a man of faith, a husband to a sick wife, and a father to well-adjusted children.  I thought it to be obvious and I was not surprised that candidate Romney was all business during business hours.  Frankly, that is what I want in my President, a leader who knows how to work.  I could care less about his basketball picks or his golfing skills.  And to the latest jab that Romney built an elevator in his mansion.  Good for him.  He spent his own money, thereby helping the manufacturer, wholesaler, and installers plus all the ancillary producers of the expensive product.  And Obama?  He spends 179 thousand dollars of taxpayer money every time he takes the nation’s jet, US One,  to his personal campaign fund-raising events.  It is time for a change in Washington and it is this writers hope that Romney will choose Rep. Paul Ryan as his Vice President.  Why?  Because although the Presidency of the Senate is largely ceremonial, there is nonetheless, enough power in that position to allow Ryan’s economic genius to flourish as he gets significant financial and economic programs through a “dead on arrival” Harry Reid slaughterhouse.

17 Trillion Obamacare Costs Discovered

http://news.yahoo.com/another-17-trillion-surprise-found-obamacare-133210667.html  Put simply, this insane spending bill must be repealed by the Congress and better and smaller bills passed.  This 2700 page legislation brings disaster.  If we elect a new Senate this Fall and the new Senators are committed to repealing Obama care entirely and then starting over to sanely approach our nation’s medical care needs, we will be better off as a country.  The downfall of the USSR was because they could no longer afford the enormous expenses of the cold war, of a large standing military and the wasteful communist economic system.  Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, although much smaller countries suffered from over spending and without massive outside help would have destroyed their economies.  There is no one, not even the Chinese, who will help the USA get out of the tens of trillions of spending under Obama care.  So, add it all up and the end of USA is near, not in an apocalyptic earthquake but in an economic self-destruction. Since the gridlock in the USA is caused by a Senate leadership that refuses to allow the Republican House of Representative to pass a budget, and since the leader of the Senate has consistently declared all Republican sponsored solutions to the nation’s needs to be “dead on arrival,” we need to give the Republican party a majority in the Senate in order to get out of the do nothing state of affairs caused by a President who says that he wants to rule without the consent of Congress and a Senate that blocks all Republican attempts to solve our nation’s problems.  By the way, the House of Representative defeated the Presidents proposed budget for the fourth time.  The latest vote was 414 against.  That says a lot about the foolishness of Obama’s proposal and the sincerity of the House of Representatives.  The Senate also consistently turned down the Obama proposed Budgets.  But the Senate also has consistently turned down House budgets.  The bottleneck to progress seems to be the White House and the Senate.

Trayvon Martin Shooting was a True Tragedy.

http://gma.yahoo.com/trayvon-martin-shooters-friend-george-zimmerman-virtually-lost-125943614–abc-news.html;_ylt=ArflijTU_9ZBQbfJM.J4KfSxn.R_;_ylu=X3oDMTRuYTliNXM0BGNjb2RlA2N0LmMEbWl0A01vc3QgUG9wdWxhciBIUARwa2cDMDNhMzU0ODEtNDg1MS0zNjYyLWI4MTYtNGNmNTMyMTU1YjI2BHBvcwMyBHNlYwNNZWRpYUJMaXN0TWl4ZWRNb3N0UG9wdWxhckNBBHZlcgMzMTFlNDgzNy03NzUxLTExZTEtYWZiNy02NjUwODE5OTQ1OGI-;_ylg=X3oDMTNjaTJidGc0BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDYTcxNzJlODktYzY0OC0zYmE0LWJkYmItMjViNWI5ZjA4MjA0BHBzdGNhdANlbnRlcnRhaW5tZW50fGJvb2tzBHB0A3N0b3J5cGFnZQR0ZXN0Aw–;_ylv=3

Amid all the political shouting and the radical fundraising of Sharpton and Jackson, can we at least agree that the shooting of Trayvon Martin was a true tragedy?  Very sadly, a young person lost his life. Nothing, absolutely nothing, can correct that event.  My prayers, as a fellow human being, a father and a grandfather, are offered for the family.  My prayers also extend to the shooter.  Yes, he is accused.  Yes, he is suspect. And yes, the situation at the moment of fire is unclear.  Nonetheless, the whole event is out of a horror movie.  There are no excuses here.  I am not in any way trying to downplay the full dark tragedy of this moment in time.  However, I do hope to use this event for growth, for healing and in order to advance beyond race, hate, and prejudice.

Frankly, I am not clear how this all works out.  However, we have a 17 year old boy whose racial understanding maybe have been poison and an older hispanic man whose cultural understanding may have been equally poison. 

What may have been the poison?  May I suggest the poison of class and race? May I suggest the poison of the haves versus the have-nots? May I suggest the poison that comes from the top, namely, the President of the USA who accuses the Massachusetts police, who apologizes to the world concerning USA, and who likens Trayvon Martin to his own (would be) son. 

Why is racism only a White to Black phenomenon?  Can racism be Black toward White?  Can it be Hispanic toward Black? Can it be immigrant toward citizen?  (Although, we are really all immigrants!)

I am sad.  I believe that you are sad.  It is a sad day for America.  Trayvon is dead.  George Zimmerman lives but what is his life now? 

 Some take to the streets, and some, like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, don’t really care, as long as the funding letter goes out and the money rolls in.  But the rest of us are sad.  Why? Because this really does not need to happen.  Because we can rise above petty disputes concerning money and property.  Because we can see through the illusion of color and ethnicity.  If we have the will.

Very, and I repeat, very sadly, our President has decided to throw his support in favor of a continuation of stereotypical racism and ethnic hatred.  President Obama is not a solution to the problem.  He is at least a symptom and at most a cause. 

There probably will be a court room scene for this sad happening.  A judge will preside and a jury will decide.  But you and I, the greater society, must also decide.  Can we at least agree that this was a true American tragedy?  Can we grieve over this sad event as a caring society that sees George Zimmerman doing what he thinks is right and sees Trayvor Martin as doing what he thinks is right?  Could George be defending his hard-won property while Trayvor is defending his right to gain the same?

Republican Anti Romneyism is Pathological not Ideological

“Yeah, I understand it. Everyone in the Republican establishment wants Romney and they’d like everyone else to go home,” Gingrich told ABC News’ Jon Karl in an interview Tuesday. “They’d like to have a coronation, but that’s not how this is done.”

There is weird thinking in the USA conservative movement that Governor Mitt Romney is not a true Conservative.  This kind of thinking betrays a pathological bias more than an ideological divide between Governor Mitt Romney and Senator Santorum and Speaker Gingrich.

The best way I can describe it is to make analogy with the Christian Church. Firstly, let me say clearly that this analogy is not anger toward  or indiscreet criticism of the Christian Church.  I love the Christian Church, warts and all.  However, the analogy of Christian and indeed, Jewish and Moslem denominationalism fits the current Republican scene.

Christians, including Mormon Christians, proclaim that Jesus is the Christ.  They adhere to the creedal formulations of the Church and they distinguish themselves from other faith religions.  However, within Christianity, there are various labels for various Christian Churches.  The two big ones are Roman Catholic and Orthodox.  Then there are the many so-called Protestant  groups, like Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, Baptist.

All of these groups aka. “denominations”, profess Jesus as the Christ, that God is Trinity in character, and that a person is granted eternal life through a relationship with God through Christ in faith.  That applies to 100% of the groups mentioned as being Christian.  So what’s the difference?  Why are there denominations?  An adequate answer to both questions would require a treatise.  However, a simplification would be to say that all the denominations are a result of social/economic/political and cultural differences between various people at the time of the inception of each denominational group.   Not much help in understanding the core basis of denominationalism, is it?  That’s because there is no simple answer, denominationalism is a phenomenon.

Today, the battle within the Republican party is between the so-called Conservatives, Moderates and Liberals.  They are all part of the established Republican party which party is the only Republican party there is and the only one entitled to be listed on the ballot in fifty States as Republican!  Like all the groups within Christianity are Christians, so all the groups within the Republican party are Republican.  The names they call themselves, their denominators, are self-imposed qualifiers.  Over time, these qualifiers have become nuanced so that a Conservative in 2012 is not the same as a Conservative of 1912.

It is this writer’s opinion that in other elections the nuances between the groups and even within the groups were allowed to blend.  This blending producted hybrids known as Moderate Liberals and Moderate Conservatives.  The adjective “moderate” allowed Republicans the flexibility to pull the right and the left toward the center of the Republican spectrum.  However, the advent of Talk Show radio has introduced an element of rigidity into the party which denies that such moderation is allowed.  Rather, Talk Show hosts insist upon a definition of Conservative which precludes the hybrid, Moderate-Conservative designator.  And in the present context, Governor Mitt Romney is seen to be a hybrid and not purely Conservative.

From my seat along the sidelines of politics, it seems that Liberals and Moderates are still willing to allow flexible definitions of a person’s political philosophy.  So, they allow that a person can be strictly Conservative in economic politics while being moderately Conservative in social politics and maybe, conservatively liberal regarding international politics.  It is possible, there may be many so-called “pure” Conservatives who also will allow flexibility regarding Governor Romney because they feel that he has the best chance of winning against President Obama.  Sadly, it is becoming evident that Talk Show hosts like Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh, (to name the best, biggest and most influential) are fundamentally opposed to any graduated designator.

In the title to this article I use the concept that this refusal to allow moderation of so-called “pure” Conservatism is pathological rather than ideological.  I believe that an ideological difference can become nuanced when influenced by reasoned conversation.  However, both Santorum and Gingrich and their promoters say that they are essentially anti Romney.  Since they denominate themselves as the true Conservative in distinction to Romney’s Moderate Conservatism, then, I believe, their opposition to him is unreasoned, ingrained, emotional and I suggest, pathological.

No Obama Outrage over Islamic Stonings

http://news.yahoo.com/iraq-militia-stone-youths-death-emo-style-171115804.html  Granted at the outset that this story deals with the sovereign state of Iraq. Also granted that essentially these murders are none of our business.  Lastly, granted that the President of the USA cannot comment upon everything that happens in our world.  Yet this story is very shocking because it comes out of Iraq. It is remembered that we lost the lives of several thousand of the best of USA youth in order to secure the freedom of this Moslem Nation.  It is also remembered that ten thousand of USA youth were maimed in the war to “free” the Iraqi people.  Therefore, to read that this type if Islamo/nazi radicalism is once again prominent in Iraq is disheartening.

Taking all of the above items into consideration, this writer is disappointed that the President of the USA displays a very pro Islamic orientation.  He apologizes for an accidental burning of a mere book, namely the Quran. Hey, it is not our problem that Moslems cannot cope with the burning of their scripture.  I am a Christian and my church discards dozens of holy Scriptures yearly.  The printed books are worn, or weathered, or yellowed or their covers are destroyed.  As a Christian, our holy Bible is a book.  It is the content and the message of the content that is holy and not the pages on which the words are printed.  And while I can accept the President’s statement that he apologized in order to save lives, nonetheless, I do not hear him protesting the incident here described nor do I hear him decrying the continued genocidal bombing by Moslems of Christian churches in Nigeria.

Why is this important?  This writer believes that the job of the President of the USA is to uphold the Constitution, to defend the nation against its enemies, foreign and domestic and to extend the interests of the nation worldwide.  However, President Obama seems more intent on apologizing for the nation, and taking a defensive position concerning the international interests of USA.

Is USA Becoming Like Israel?

http://news.yahoo.com/israel-kills-more-gaza-gunmen-rockets-fired-israel-103107234.html

I will try to write more about this, but for now, read the article and ask the questions:

Is Israel’s blowing up the car of anti Israel militants, the same as our using drones against identified terrorists?

If the new rules of war allow such behavior, then what about armed conflict between nations?  There are rules, you know!

If Newark was a nation inside of NJ how could it function?

If the nation of Newark blasted rockets over its border and killed people in Paterson, what would be an appropriate response?

What are we supposed to do concerning the lingering idea of pre emptive aggression?  Pre emptive aggression is now called, as it was by Hitler and Stalin, pre emptive defense.   It is the primitive notion that might makes right.  Therefore, if I think you are going to hurt me and I know that you have a gun, then I am justified to go to your house and burn it down in order to prevent you from hurting me.
