The geostrategic question

Then there is the geostrategic question.
The world of 2015 is nothing like Truman’s world of 1952 or Reagan’s world of 1982. The adversary we confronted then, the Soviet Empire and Soviet Union, has not existed for a quarter century.
Why then does NATO, created to defend Western Europe against that adversary, still exist?
Why are we still committed to fight Russia not only to defend Germany, but Estonia and Erdogan’s Turkey, and if the neocons get their way, to be committed in perpetuity to fight Russia for Georgia, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Moldova, Ukraine, Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk?
If the history of the 20th century teaches anything, it is that war guarantees all too often lead to war.
But in this war against “radical Islamic terrorism,” who is the real ally: Erdogan, who has been aiding and abetting Islamic jihadists in Syria, or Putin, who has been bombing them?

Illegal aliens are changing elections

Illegal aliens are already changing U.S. elections and they are doing it without going to the polls.  Here is how it works.  This is important to understand and important to change. Pass it around.

Progressives?

“Conformity will be the only virtue and any man who refuses to conform will have to pay the penalty.” ~ U.S. President Woodrow Wilson,  Democrat, arch-Progressive, led America into the disastrous WWI, was against the right of women to vote until he was about to lose his re-election and then he was for it, reversed GOP-led gains for black people, and he signed into law and supported the creation of the Federal Reserve, which he later called his worst mistake. He intervened militarily in Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Nicaragua, and supported the White Russians in the Russian Revolution, setting the stage for dictators of Batista, Trujillo, the Duvaliers, the Somozas, and the Soviet Union.

This migration crisis

“We” were not alone in causing this crisis. Politicians of all stripes and colors in all countries create crisis by profession. That is what they do. This particular crisis is not new either, having been underway since at least 1948. The western NATO countries and Muslim countries caused this particular crisis as much as did the U.S. That subject by itself is a whole book. But Middle Eastern leaders, Russian and Chinese political leaders were the teachers, the instructors. They have been forcing mass migrations of their people since history began, and most of those were very deadly to the migrants.

Here are a few examples of the beginning of the current crisis:

1). Emil Guri, secretary of the Supreme Arab Council (interview with the London “Daily Telegraph” in Beirut on September 6, 1948): “I do not want to blame anyone, I just want to help the refugees. The situation in which they found themselves – the direct result of the actions of the Arab countries who opposed the division and the creation of the Jewish state. The Arab states unanimously agreed to this policy, and they are required to participate in solving the problem. ”

2). Newspaper “Nasser” May 7, 1948: “Victory is assured, but to achieve it can be much easier and with fewer losses if the local Arab population frees the way. It will be back after the victorious Arab armies not only to their homes and property, but still get home and property of the conquered and murdered Jews. ”

3). Arab radio station in the Middle East, which broadcasts from Cyprus (April 3, 1949): “We must remember that the Arab Higher Council supports the withdrawal of the Arabs living in Jaffa, Haifa and Jerusalem.”

4). The newspaper “Akhbar Ol-Pum” (Cairo, 1963): “There comes a May 15 … The Mufti of Jerusalem called on the Arabs of Palestine to leave their country because the Arab armies were ready to invade and expand in the country large-scale hostilities.”

5). Newspaper “Falastyn” Jordan (October 19, 1949.): “The Arab states supported the Arabs in their decision to temporarily leave home, so as not to interfere with the invasion of Arab armies.”

What did Abraham do?

Want to stop terrorism? Ron Paul had it right: get out of Muslim countries. Stop bombing. Stop installing dictators. Stop stealing. Stop intervening. Stop killing.

There is nothing there that we need. There is much to do here.

I would add to Ron’s list: stop selling or giving weapons to them, stop giving military training to them, and stop funding and implementing proxy and regime change wars.

All of the above is just common sense, selection and judgment and does not imply isolationism, the slur by neocons on the right and left.

What problem has been fixed by bombing the Middle East? What national interest has been served? Do you feel safer now after 15 years of bombing and killing in your name? We have more enemies now and they are better trained, armed and funded than in September 2001. Turkey, Egypt, Saudi, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, etc already have sufficient military power to eliminate ISIS. Our problem is they don’t really want to.

Remember that a U.S. Navy ship shot down an Iranian airliner full of innocent people. Get a grip on your reactions.

Americans need to retaliate by finally securing our borders, executing existing laws, bringing home and strengthening our military for our own defense, and profiling people who are already here. The latter task should not be limited to the government.

We fully expect to be attacked. They have been training for generations. When that happens, we will respond.

We must protect peaceful Muslim citizens in America. It is their burden to prove they are peaceful by turning in the radicals in their community. The radicals kill their fellow Muslims, the peaceful moderates among them, more than they kill us, to maintain fear, discipline and control within their community. We cannot reform their social system, culture and religion for them. If we don’t protect the truly peaceful ones and give them a safe place to reform, then there will be no reform and these 1400 year old problems will remain. We cannot protect peaceful Muslims unless we profile their community to find and remove the radicals among them. When this effort starts, know that the radicals will attack the safe places hard and prepare for that. The moderates must have confidence in us if they are to help us.

Some of the radicals are in high places in our government. Be prepared.

Perhaps the majority of Democrats and left wing libertarians will resist the need for profiling…until it is too late. Help them understand if they listen.

We learned from incarcerating Japanese-Americans in WWII. It is a very slippery slope. Wisdom is needed, not aggression. Parts of Muslim holy books call for jihad and violence. So do ours in places.

You cannot defeat an enemy who is morally certain unless you are morally certain. The U.S. is far from that today. How about you?

If you ask God for something, and especially if He grants it, then whatever you prayed for had better be good. He has a long history of wrath against evil doers, sometimes taking all of their blood line. You are really praying for a revelation of your forgotten mission here. Such good things are not new, but their time has come.

Re-post: France’s answer to terrorism: The Law of Suspects

On April 5, 1793, decorated French military commander Charles Dumouriez caused a sensational panic in Paris when he fled the country and defected to Austria.

It had been nearly four years since French peasants stormed the Bastille, the event that historians generally regard as the start of the French Revolution.

And hardly a week had gone by since without some major crisis, emergency, or tragedy in France.

There were regular violent riots across the country– in Paris, other major cities, and even the rural countryside. Widespread massacres were commonplace.

And given that one of the key goals of France’s new revolutionary government was to eliminate Christianity from the nation, civil war between religious factions broke out as well.

To cap things off, France was under constant threat of foreign invasion.

Austria and Prussia were not only waging conventional war against France, but both nations had sent highly trained agents to infiltrate French borders to pursue violence and chaos from within.

It was exhausting. French people were living in perpetual fear, and the wanton death of innocents had become an unfortunately normal part of life.

So when it was found that Dumouriez (a French citizen) had defected to the enemy, people hit their breaking points. Enough was enough. And they cried out to the government to save them.

The government listened.

The very next day, on April 6, 1793, the new French government established the Committee of Public Safety (though it was originally known as the Danton Committee).

The Committee was given broad, emergency powers since it was a time of such crisis.

And under the leadership Maximilien Robespierre, the French people got their protection.

Robespierre passed the ‘Law of Suspects’, allowing the government to essentially imprison anyone they wanted for any reason.

It was impossible to tell friend from foe back then; you never knew if someone was a loyalist, or a Christian, or an Austrian spy, or any number of counter-revolutionaries.

So people were required to carry special certificates indicating that they were good and dutiful citizens. Those without would be imprisoned, and potentially executed.

The University of Chicago estimates that nearly 30,000 either died in prison or were executed as a result of this law.

Then there was the Law of the Maximum, which attempted to stabilize an ongoing financial crisis by fixing the prices of goods and services in the country. The law also imposed the death penalty on those who did not follow the rules.

They also passed the Law of 22 Prairial, which awarded the Committee even more power to arrest, try, and execute anyone deemed to be suspicious or disloyal.

The law also prevented anyone accused of a crime from being able to call witnesses or have defense counsel.

Plus it required that ALL citizens report potentially suspicious or disloyal neighbors to the Committee. If you see something, say something.

As you are likely well aware, this period in French history became known as the Reign of Terror, or often simply ‘the Terror’.

Coincidentally, this is where the first modern use of the word ‘terrorist’ is found.

Except that it wasn’t used to describe the counter-revolutionaries. Or the rebels. Or the foreign agents.

It turns out that “terrorist” was originally a term used to describe the government officials who created and executed these oppressive tactics under the guise of keeping people safe from their enemies.

Governments have a dangerous tendency to never let a serious crisis go to waste.

The US government spent trillions of taxpayer dollars to fight a War on Terror that made the world less safe and Americans less free, all to protect them from a threat that has a statistical likelihood of 0.0%.

(You’re far more likely to be shot by a police officer than to ever even see a terrorist.)

Yes, the desire for revenge runs deep. And that’s understandable.

But the greatest thing to fear is not men in caves. It is the consequent loss of freedom and the never-ending cycle of costly, destructive war.

Until tomorrow,

Warning alarms for liberals By Tammy Bruce

 – – Monday, November 9, 2015

According to Real Clear Politics, 63.8 percent of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track. This could explain, in part, the amazing victories for conservatives during last Tuesday’s local and state elections.

Across the board, liberal pet issues lost while conservatives won elected office. Liberal cities led the pack in rejecting what we’ve always been told are “trends” or a reflection of a “changing” America. Well, not so fast.

The Matt Bevin gubernatorial victory in Kentucky made the biggest news. Here was an outsider businessman who challenged Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in 2014 and lost, came back and was handily elected governor of Kentucky Tuesday night.

Polls said Mr. Bevin would lose, another example of polls projecting the preferred liberal result. Even the leftist rag Salon covered Mr. Bevin’s win by noting it “undermines” Democratic theory but also is bad news for Democrats across the country.

Why? Because Mr. Bevin ran against everything liberals hold dear including their own Rosemary’s Baby also known as Obamacare. He approached the issues in an unapologetic way, rejecting political correctness and the notion that, in order to win, Republicans have to find “common ground” on liberal issues.

Bunk.

Beyond the Bevin victory there was a whole host of issues that if you allowed the Legacy Media and pollsters to determine reality, you would think have already been embraced, heralded and accepted by the American people — things like the joys of sanctuary cities, legalized marijuana, gun control, a $15 minimum wage and more so-called equality laws that simply expand the footprint of government on our necks.

But what if Americans have been bullied into believing that they were on the wrong side of the liberal bullet train? What if, in fact, Americans had been conditioned by political correctness into not trusting their own judgment, into believing that they were the only ones who still thought legalizing pot was a bad idea, and sanctuary cities were destroying our quality of life, and that a higher minimum wage made no sense economically?

Tuesday’s election results should indeed frighten liberals in that, I contend, it represents a renewed trust by the voter in their own opinions and assessment of the facts, and they are now willing to vote what is right regardless of the names and abuse hurled at them by the left.

And we have one man to thank for that: Donald Trump.

Personally, I’m not a fan of Mr. Trump politically. I believe him to be a liberal, but one thing is undeniable: He has demonstrated to the American people that it’s safe to reject the leftist Thought Police, to cultivate your own opinion and to trust your judgment. Liberals will wail this is bad news, as the dogs of racism, homophobia and sexism will be unleashed.

This, of course, is just more projection, as liberal policies enacted throughout this nation continue to destroy the lives and futures of people of color and women in particular. Tuesday should be seen as an indication that the American people have had enough with the lies of the left and are ready, willing and able to take this nation back from a fantasy world only a masochist could love.

Mr. Trump reinforces the rejection of leftist orthodoxy every day with television viewers and the tens of thousands who attend his rallies. His plain, honest talk usually contradicts the leftist narrative, which is virtually unheard of in the public sphere.

Finally, Americans are realizing they’re not alone in being appalled at what is transpiring in the nation and are realizing a house won’t fall on them if they dare to think, consider and judge the left for the scourge they are.

Cases in point:

Despite being told legalized marijuana is something the American people want, Ohio rejected their state initiative making the drug legal by an overwhelming 65 percent of the vote. This despite pre-election polls saying it would pass. Who knows, maybe the pollsters were high.

Portland, Maine, rejected an initiative to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 58 percent of the voters. Portland. Maine. Not exactly a conservative barnburner, yet they still know when something is a job killer.

In Houston, voters overwhelmingly said no to a so-called gay and transgender rights ordinance that opponents noted would have allowed men access to women’s bathrooms. Supporters said that was ridiculous fear-mongering, but it’s a problem unfolding across the country, including at high schools. At least two-thirds of the voters said absolutely not to the notion that equality has devolved into allowing men into girls’ bathrooms.

San Francisco rejected an initiative that would have trimmed the sails of Airbnb by limiting the number of days someone could rent their property.

Entrepreneurship won; liberals trying to kill small business lost.

At the same time, San Franciscans fired the sanctuary city supporting sheriff who defending the city’s position in the aftermath of the Kate Steinle murder.

Liberals have been full of excuses in the days following Tuesday’s blowout. They insist it’s because Democrats don’t vote in midterms. And that’s true, largely due to a lack of enthusiasm.

The “enthusiasm gap” as it’s known, is a key factor in election results as it affects turnout, and 2016 doesn’t look any better for the Democrats.

The Washington Examiner reports, “Entering the 2016 elections, Democrats face a wide ‘enthusiasm gap’ benefitting Republicans, according to a new poll. The survey conducted by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg found that 67 percent of Republican voters are jazzed to vote compared to just 52 percent of Democrats for a 15-point gap … Asked if the 67 percent enthusiasm was a floor or ceiling of GOP enthusiasm, Greenberg said, ‘I think it’s a floor.’ “

Considering the fantasy world liberals live in, it makes perfect sense that they resist facing facts, and they can make all the excuses they want, but not only are Americans sick and tired and not going to take it anymore, we’re not afraid to say so, either.
