American Agression in Libya

American is an aggressor nation which has attacked another  country .  The President  hooked up with two colonial powers to attack the sovereign state of Libya.  All of this is illegal, no matter what the United Nations says and it indicates that the United States is now willing to invade and continue to invade another nation in order to destroy the forty-year old functional government and replace it with something else.  The United States is the aggressor because Libya did not attack the USA nor did Libya attack citizens of the USA , nor the embassy of the USA.  Instead, the USA bombed Libya with aircraft bombs and missiles.  This unprovoked attack of three nations of advanced military power against one small Arab nation is an action of aggression pure and simple.  Libya was not and is not a threat to the peace, stability or sovereignty of the USA or its citizens.  Yet, the USA  attacks not only the army, but the nation of Libya itself.  What else do you call bombing airfields, attacking administration building, destroying government centers and political party buildings, the compound of the dictatorial ruler and strafing  tanks, shooting down heliocopters and preventing its government from quelling an armed rebellion.  Last time I thought of it, I remember that armed rebellion against the USA is illegal and considered an act of treason punishable by death.  Now some would argue that he is a dictator and therefore not worthy of respect.  Did he not address the UN in the USA a few years ago?  Did we arrest this man and throw him into prison?  Did he not sign legally binding contracts with international companies and a PR firm in the USA?  How did he get the weapons that he has?  He bought them and the vendors, including many national governments,  accepted his money as being the legal tender of the ruler of Libya.  The position of many commentators in the USA is to be rejected.  Sean Hannity, Bill O Reilly and the boys at CNN and MSNBC are cheering this new WAR.  If it is a righteous war, where is the declaration of war from the Congress of the USA?  No, this is unprovoked aggression and the criminal is the USA and stop harping that the UN said it was okay to bomb Libya in order to destroy the Libyan government, kill that government’s soldiers and the like…I cannot list all the crimes because it is sickening.  And let’s not be two faced about our intentions. We say we want to defend the people but on the news we see that the rebels are not the people but a small band of former libyan soldiers and political activists and organizers who themselves say that they do not have enough fighers to defeat the government of Libya.  And the spokeman for the USA State Deptment said Thursday March 24 that our government is in constant daily contact with the rebels for the purpose of finding out who they are, what they stand for, and what they intend to do if we help them to win.  So we are fighting a war of aggression against the internationally recognized dictatorship of Libya in favor of a group of somebodies about whom we know nothing.  Imagine that our CIA and military intelligence knows nothing about the leaders of this rebel group nor about its goals and aims!  ABSURD.  We should get out of Libya immediately and unilaterally.  Forget this Coalition bull.  The nations attacking are merely former imperialist colonial tyrants who seem to want to reclaim some kind of lost military glory.  Shame.

Is Syria Next to Fall?

The Obama administration is either oblivious to the north Africia revolution’s potential to create a Muslim Arab Caliphate or it is assisting in the creation of such a thing!  Granted, the area could use new leadership but the destruction of Libya and the destabilization of all of North Africa is not the way to do it.  Rather, this observer is amazed at the organized consistency of the so call spontaneous uprising of the peoples.  There is just too much sameness and too much regularity in the process, which is consistently starting with peaceful citizen protests and rallies, then followed by shooting and then a regularly correographed progression of increasingly radicalized demonstrations.  All of them are aimed at overthrowing the regimes of each of the countries.  None of them seeks reform or renewal and none is open compromise and negotiation.  They want power. They want control of each national government.  They want legitimacy so that each new revolutionary government will have access to all the resources, money and power of each nation.  They want to immediately be recognized as the legal government of that nation, so as to enjoy the sovereign rights and protections that they deny to the present governments.  It is not beyond this writers sense of the possible to see in this amazingly well organized and in the amazing sameness of each nations revolutions- it is possible to see a pattern that tells us that someone else or some other group is calling the shots and pulling the strings.  Al Qaida?  The muslim brotherhood?  Some othr nefarious group of “New World Order” zealots? Is the liberal Western Press and media being “played the fool?”  by a cynical and vicious group of international corporate criminals?  Are the Western governments and especially President Obama being duped by terrorist groups that play to his ideological zealotry?  Fearfully, our war planes and bombs may be aiding our ideological enemies and paving the way for them to seize control over the assets that they need to carry out a program of destabilization in Europe with the goal of weakening and eventually, (say twenty five years from now. (Hey they think long term!) of eventually defeating the USA?

Stop the Libya War.

The rebels state that they will be a nation of law and respect all
international agreements, treaties and commitments made by Libya, heretofore.  Well that is really amazing! It shows the falseness of the rebel position that they state that the government of Libya is a tyrany and therefore worthy of being overthrown by force.  Yet, they promise to honor all contracts, business deals, and international agreements of the former(so called illegal) government.  Why? Because they state that these agreements were signed by the soveriegn State of Libya! By the way, is it legal to attempt to overthrow the US government by force?  Is it legal to conspire to overthrown the French or British governments?  Is it legal to fire upon German government troops or to attack Italian police forces?  If a group of persons in the USA, France, England, Germany or Italy attacked those governments with guns and bombs, then those sovereign governments would put down those rebels with immediate force.  Yes, even to the point of firing upon civilians!  Are there two systems here?  Did Gadalhfi randomly torture his citizens, did his secret police operate a Dachau, or a Secret Siberian prison camp system? Did the Law in Libya state that being a Christian was a crime?  If a Muslin in Libya converted to Christianity was he or she liable to beheading?  I understand Lockerbie and the tragedy of those innocent people.  But do we overthrow a national government after accepting the “blood” money.  By the way in the Arab World and among Muslims the payment of the “blood” money is itself the punishment.  So, according to their own rules, he who did the crime already “paid” the time.  Now I don’t agree with that idea, but that’s the way they see it.  So, What are we doing there, other than destroying the army, navy and police forces of a sovereign State, and laying waste a nation so that unknown and inexperienced “rebels” whose allegience may be to Al Qaida, gain control of the largest known oil reserves in North Africa?  Could that rebel government use the revenue of that oil to fund an Islamic revolution against all “Western” interests in the area, maybe the world? Our government is acting naively in creating in Libya, chaos, havoc and a fertile ground for a terrorist government.  By the way, Afghanistan has no oil, and we overthrew the Taliban because we thought of them as our enemy.  Well, if Al Qaida controls Libya, then will we need to commit ground troops to oust them a decade from
 now?

Wisconsin Union Law is Fair

The passage of the collective bargaining law in Wisconsin is a vote for fairness.  This new law will level the playiing field- something that is a hallmark of President Obama’s liberal agenda.  It is noteworthy that this Wisconsin law will still allow the public employees to bargain collectively.  However, it will limit the extravagant demands of unions so that the public sector employees will no longer be paid extra high wages in comparison to their non union counterparts.  The new law will also limit the unions, thereby leveling the playing field in the area of benefits.  Right now public service union members contribute zero to both their pension and the excellent health care packages.  Who else gets those sweet deals?  So now in an effort to share the wealth, the union members will pay about 5 % into their pension and 12 % into their medical insurance.  I call that very fair and equitable.   So the unions have not been stripped of their rights.  Rather, in keeping with the Obama agenda they are required to play on a level playing field and to share their wealth with the people who actually pay their bills.  That is the taxpayer and we are cheering the Wisconsin Governor for his vision, his integrity and for doing after he was elected what he promised to do before he was elected.  He is a good and honest man and deserves to be honored.  By the way, what has Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or Michael Moore done for us.  They get rich on our problems and then ask us to thank them for it.  Not Me!

Ohio Law Second in a Popular Revolt Against Tyranical Unions

The Ohio statue for limiting the negotiation privileges of Public Employee Unions is the second in a popular and publicly supported wave for Responsible Government.  The problem with having Unions for government employees is that the Unions apply their money to the support of candidates that favor them.  This results in a closed and circular system.  The Unions automatically support Democrat candidates who in turn are obligated to support Unions.  This means that an agency of government is obligated to support a fraction of the population ad versus the rest of the non unionized population.  The result is a prejudice against the non unionized in favor of the unionized.  This prejudice uses favorable actions of the Executive and legislative branch to singularly favor unions and thereby exclude the majority population which is non union.  This prejudice of the government in favor of the unionized means that the majority population, which is non union, is required by the law to pay for the wages, benefits and pensions of the minority.  As President Obama is fond of saying, he wants to spread the wealth around.  However, he is reaching into the pockets of lower paid non union workers in order to pay the higher wages, pensions and benefits that the unionized workers receive.  This is unfair, since the non unionized have not voluntarily agreed to do this but are forced to pay for the unionized by legislation and the tax code.  The preferential treatment of one category of people against the interests of another category of persons is coercive and it seems to this writer to be a civil rights issue.  How does this play as a civil rights issue.  Simply!  A citizens should not be required to pay for the higher wages, higher benefits and higher pensions of another group of citizens.

Wisconsin Governor Doing a Courageous Job.

 

Governing is not a popularity contest.  The Governor and the Government of a State should not be treated like an American Idol Game show.  The Governor is doing his job as best he sees it.  He wants to end the brutal downward spiral of the State’s economy, to stop the interest payments bleed which will eventually kill Wisconsin, and to bring honest accountability to government.   It is amazing that there is no outcry from the media concerning the democrat representatives who have run away from their jobs.  At the federal level, the last Congress of the USA faced an unprecedented show of force by President Obama.  He offered legislators money, kickbacks, perks and political promises including campaign money, resources and his appearance at their rallies.  Obama delivered on his promises for pork barrel spending to the Senators he purchased and he used Air Force One, the nation’s Jet to fly to dozens of rallies, (five alone in NJ) to support those he owned.  The cost of the jet for one use is minimally $180,000 per one way flight.  So to support NJ democrat candidates cost the US Treasury $1,800,000 taxpayer dollars! You do the math for all the Obama Campaign trips.  I think he could give Wisconsin that money and solve their money problem.  Oh, I forgot, we are talking about “do as I say and not as I do” Obama!  Is this man ever going to stop scolding the citizens of USA?  I think not until 2012 when he’s let go. By the way, during the onslaught of Obama/Reid/Pelosi, the Republicans did not run away from their jobs.  Although they were totally ignored by the majority democrats, the republicans stayed, spoke out, proposed viable alternatives and valiantly tried to use the art of persuasion and sound reasoning to win the fight.  Obama, Reid, Pelosi, the Unions and the bribes were too much and the democrats won the battle but as evidenced by the 2010 election, they may have lost the war.

Wisconsin Governor Does His Job

In Wisconsin, Republican Governor Scott Walker championed a bill that would make public workers bargain for wages alone and require them to pay 5.6 percent of their pension costs; they pay nothing now. They would have to foot 12 percent of their healthy care premiums, up from 6 percent. Police and firefighters wouldn’t be covered by the measure, which Republican legislative leaders had hoped to pass by the weekend. Yesterday, University of Wisconsin-Madison students walked out of classes at the urging of student government and campus newspapers and marched to the Capitol. There, they joined protesters who filled the rotunda to chant, bang drums and sing, and spilled outside.Two things stand out about this article.  First is the very modest scope of the proposed law.  It contains what the rest of the non union citizens of the nation are required to do.  All of the people who are non union make contributions to their health care! (or they have modest health plans instead.)  Do the Unions want the special treatment that because they do not work for private companies they don’t need to pay what everybody else pays.  And PENSIONS. Come on, who hears anything about pensions anymore.  The vast majority of people do not have free employer paid pensions.  They need to pay into a 401 K with their (pretax) salary and if they are very lucky they get a match of 5% from the company.  The unions get 100% tax payer supported pensions.  THOSE DAYS ARE OVER for the rest of the nation so the public employees had better (as 78 Year Old Richard Luger said) GET REAL.  Oh yes, there is a third item.  The students who were urged by their student government.  Is that a State supported tax payer funded public university?  Are the teachers and other employees salaried and tenured by the Tax Payers?  Are we supposed to actually believe that it wasn’t the teachers themselves who encouraged the students to be absent and join the protest?  This calls for an investigation of the teachers.  And I am sure when the investigation starts there will be cries of “Academic freedom” and all the liberal socialist communist shouting about the conservatives and of course the new bogey man, the tea party movement.  Let the investigation begin because the taxpayers are not paying the State University teachers to foment and incite public demonstrations against their employer.  And if the teachers are found to be at  fault let there be an administration reprimand and the threat of removal of tenure.  After all, tenure itself should be removed, it is a reward for the indolent and promotes slackers. By the way, there are millions of people out of work.  I hear it is cold in Wisconsin but the property values are way down.  So if the walkouts are followed by strikes and organized work stoppages, FIRE THEM.  There are millions waiting to take their public tax paid jobs.  The base line is this:  If we are going to get out of the mess we have put ourselves in, then it requires that we all work together.  If each special interest group is going to tenaciously hold on their privileges and insist that the “other guy/gal” take the hit, well it ain’t gonna work and we are all going down the crapper.  This reform is very modest and very reasonable and instead of forcing the Wisconsin government to lay off 6600 workers, the unions should cooperate.  And for those who say, let “them” lay us off we will just get public paid unemployment dollars instead.  Beware! that pot of free gold is quickly disappearing.  Last point, and for those who think the Chinese are going to come here to become our bosses think again they have their own billions of workers to employ.  Oh, they HAVE ALREADY come.  What do you think the Chinese leader was doing here last month?  He visited his chief manager Obama.  Then he talked to his area managers the Geithners and the Hilarys. And as he left he took a tour of his land holdings, farms, cities, factories and he encouraged the “workers” to work harder.  Obama said we needed to change, well this is a big part of that change.  It’s called REDISTRIBUTE THE WEALTH.  Ask Him.

Russia Wants Help of Roman Catholic Church!

http://www.zenit.org/article-31780?l=english

On my blog at http://www.bible-study-for-everyone.com I chronicled the movement of the Russian Orthodox East toward the Roman Catholic West.  Now, the visit of the President of Russia to the Pope is the latest and very highly significant event in this process.  The Russians have experienced what  the West Europeans and Americans are feverishly pursuing.  They finally emerged from their 70 year slavery to Communist Socialism.  And they intend never to go back.  Therefore, they see hope in only one place, it is the home of their one time arch enemy, the Christian Church.  Like Saint Paul, the one time persecutors of the Church have had a Damascus Road experience.  They now embrace the Church as a haven of sanity in an insane world and having experienced the dictatorship of Utopian Socialist Dictators like Lenin and Stalin, the Russians now see that the formerly Christian Europeans are blindly following materialism and liberal socialism into their own enslavement.  So, the Russians have already turned to their native religion, Russian Orthodoxy and Russian Orthodoxy has reached out to Pope Paul II and now to Benedict XVI.  They want to join hands and cooperate and collaborate on joint missions because they realize that rampant Secularism and resurgent radical Islamic Jihadism is a very dire threat to peace, freedom and stability.
