The War on Methane and Freedom

The Tower Of Babel Comes To Paris: The Folly Of Obama’s “War” On ISIS

“Gross incompetence at the State Department, likely stemming from decisions by Hillary Clinton, is a primary reason why Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi terrorist attack.”

The 8 acre U.S. State Department compound in Benghazi was located next door to Ansar Al Sharia.  “Three weeks after the [State Dept] compound was rented, an outpost of the terrorist organization Ansar al-Sharia moved in next door. The compound’s location was not changed, nor was additional security or rooftop firepower provided, despite requests. It seems unfathomable that the compound was not relocated with terrorists living right next door.”

“There is no question that a “stand down” order was delivered to Tanto (Kris “Tanto” Paronto), one of several military contractors housed in a nearby CIA Annex who attempted to rescue Ambassador Stevens. The operators have corroborated that the order was given to them while Bob was on the phone. ” (by their Chief of Base, the CIA official known only as “Bob.”)   “Bob was literally on the phone, calling for help from the guys who were in the midst of attacking our people,” our source says. “Interdepartmental communication was so poor that he didn’t know that he was essentially calling al-Qaeda to save our people from al-Qaeda.”

“25 Americans are still alive because we broke stand down order.”

“We get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms,” Warren Buffett told Berkshire Hathaway’s investors. “That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”

“Perhaps the dirtiest secret of renewables is how ineffective they are at displacing carbon dioxide emissions. Brookings senior fellow Charles Frank has calculated that replacing coal with modern combined-cycle gas turbines cuts 2.6 times more emissions than using wind does, and cuts four times as many emissions as solar.  If anything, these figures are likely to be too generous to renewables. Frank uses conservative assumptions about the energy consumed for balancing and cycling (starting up or shutting down gas-fired plants). Based on recent research, Edinburgh University’s Professor Gordon Hughes found that balancing costs are nearly ten times higher than Frank’s assumptions and that cycling reduces the amount of CO2 up to 50 percent more than wind turbines do (relative to the classic grid-average method of calculation used by most official bodies such as the International Energy

For logic-minded Americans still genuinely puzzled as to how it could be that our presidents and secretaries of state and generals and pundits keep hammering home the big lie that Islam has nothing to do with jihad, that the religion of conquest is a “religion of peace,” I have a special warning. Such widespread, politics- and mass-media-driven brainwashing is nothing new.

Just as today’s opinion-makers seek to divorce Islam from its impact — for example, brutal conquest, forced conversion, religiously sanctioned sex slavery, beheadings — past opinion-makers worked equally hard to divorce communism from its impact — for example, brutal conquest, forced collectivization, concentration camps (Gulags), mass murder.

It worked. Unlike Nazism, communism has never been judged guilty or even held responsible for the carnage and suffering it has caused. On the contrary, it remains a source of “liberal” statist ideas such as Obamacare. My book “American Betrayal” delves deeply into this dangerous double standard. In short, it not only enables collectivist policies to strangle our remnant republic, but also explains why American students can find a drink called Leninade, emblazoned with a hammer and sickle, for sale on a college campus. It is also why silkscreens of Warhol’s Chairman Mao, history’s top mass murderer, are sought-after items for the homes of the wealthy.

There are no such trendy portraits of Hitler, and who would want them? Who would want to swig a bottle of Hitlerpop, decorated with a swastika? So, why Leninade? Not only does the stench of death not follow the Communist murder-cult, the brand lives.

Barring a groundswell of common sense, I predict that Islam, the brand, will most likely remain separate in the public mind from the violence and repression it causes and has caused for more than a millennium. That’s certainly the direction leaders from both political parties have been relentlessly herding us in for over a decade, insisting against all reason — against all sacred Islamic texts — that “Islam is peace.”

This means that not only must we contend with this cycle of expansionist jihad — a recurrence that should be familiar from Islamic history were it, too, not subject to whitewash — we must simultaneously withstand a campaign of lies designed to subvert our understanding of how Islam, in fact, has everything to do with beheadings and other violence both in the Islamic world and in the West.

And yes, such whitewashing has happened before. Stalin’s Red Army occupied half of Europe at the end of World War II, but Americans were told they had won the war and that “Uncle Joe” was a great guy. Then there is the whitewash of the transformation the Cold War wrought at home, where agents, agents of influence, fellow travelers, and dupes worked to advance Moscow’s will just as Soviet tanks (and agents, too) imposed it abroad. The conventional wisdom, however, set forth by academics, historians, think tank analysts, journalists, filmmakers (whether “liberal” or “conservative”), remains suspended in the amber of the “Red Scare,” the 1950s period during which anti-Communist “witch-hunters” searched for “Reds under the bed,” allegedly in vain. Never mind that many hundreds of American traitors had infiltrated the federal government in previous decades. The important thing, says the conventional wisdom, is not to connect the dots and examine whether these proxies for Stalin influenced the “American Century.”

That, of course, is exactly what “American Betrayal” does, thus enraging all keepers of conventional wisdom. No matter. The more I continue to learn about the extensive penetration by Stalin’s secret agents into the federal government over the two decades that FDR and then Harry Truman held the Oval Office, the clearer it is that the American ship of state had too many hands loyal to the USSR pushing at the rudder, influencing, to varying degrees, the direction of U.S. policy and strategy, even if not especially during World War II.

Such is the once-hidden history that comes into closer focus since the U.S. and Russian governments released some subset of their vast secret archives — intelligence documents, FBI files and the like. Reigning “court historians” keep looking the other way, hoping Americans never notice the big picture: that FDR presided over the biggest national security disaster in U.S. history, the massive infiltration of the U.S. government by agents of a foreign power.

Ken Burns’ new PBS documentary, “The Roosevelts,” typifies this blackout. For example, take the series’ treatment of the Yalta Conference, the final meeting of the so-called Big Three wartime leaders. Old news footage shows the conference table, from Stalin to FDR to Churchill. The camera also shows a man who sure looks like Soviet military intelligence agent and U.S. State Department official Alger Hiss. Next to him is top White House aide and, according to some experts, Soviet agent or asset Harry Hopkins. Both men are seated behind the dupe-ish secretary of state Edward Stettinius.

Does Burns inform viewers of the identities of these notorious figures seemingly “boring from within” before the viewer’s eyes? Does he note the existence of scholarship confirming covert agent Hiss’ outspoken role at the conference, and evidence that he may have exerted influence over deliberations on China policy, war reparations including German slave labor, and other vital issues in the USSR’s favor? Is there any mention of the troubling questions about Hopkins’ single-mindedly pro-Soviet stance that caused George C. Marshall to describe “Hopkins’ job with the president” as being “to represent the Russian interests”?

Silence. Or rather, Burnsian chatter about the big secret of Yalta being FDR’s grave health — something obvious to anyone who looked at him. The series’ ultimate mission is accomplished, however. A re-gilded FDR is burnished to a starry sheen, blinding a worshipful audience.

Is that what history is for?

Blinding History

The Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi (CCB) issued its interim report revealing how America switched sides in the War on Terror, facilitating the provision of arms to al Qaeda-linked rebel forces in Libya.

This is really sickening.  Americans must stop this barbarian President.

“The Citizens’ Commission on Benghazi (CCB) has discovered, however, that the ensuing civil war may well have been avoided, had the U.S. chosen to permit it. Within days of that declaration of U.S. government support for the Libyan rebels, Qaddafi sought to enter into negotiations with the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) under a flag of truce for the purpose of discussing his possible abdication and exile. On 21 March 2011, Rear Admiral (ret.) Chuck Kubic began email and telephone contact between Tripoli and AFRICOM Stuttgart regarding the possibility of talks under a white flag of truce. Over the following days, Qaddafi expressed interest in a truce, and possible abdication and exile out of Libya. He even pulled his forces back from several Libyan cities as a sign of good faith. “

“RADM Kubic telephoned LTC Brian Linvill, the U.S. AFRICOM point of contact for all military matters regarding the Libyan situation, to advise him of Qaddafi’s desire to enter into military-to-military discussions. General Carter Ham was advised immediately on 21 March 2011 of these communications and conveyed them up his chain of command to the Pentagon. After two days of back-and-forth with the Libyans, however, General Ham had received no positive affirmation of consent from Washington, D.C. to pursue Qaddafi’s offer. The war continued and ultimately cost tens of thousands of lives. The U.S. failure to even consider Qaddafi’s request for talks, and its determination to enter and pursue this
war in support of al-Qa’eda-linked rebels, presents the appearance of a policy intent upon empowering Islamic forces with no measurable benefit to U.S. national security.”

This past week President Obama criticized America in a speech to the UN and in support of the giant fraud that is Obama’s and the UN’s global warming wealth distribution scam. And Obama is guilty of crimes against humanity, war crimes, racism, theft, dereliction of duty, command negligence, treason, gun running, murder by drone, and a long list of other crimes that exceed any criticism he tries to lay on the country he is supposed to be leading. Obama is a thoroughly despicable person, void of character and integrity, and no doubt many in his administration also fit that description. How can the American people, Congress, and the courts live with President Obama, a President who refused to accept the surrender of the leader of another nation through U.S. military chain of command, then bombed and killed about 10,000 of that leader’s supporters and watched that leader be tortured and killed in the streets? President Obama is a barbarian.

Here’s the all too real example of the frog slowly cooking in the gradually warming water. This frog is us…the people of the world. We are in the stew: The Federal Reserve (FED) has an explicit published goal of 2% inflation per year. The FED is increasing the supply of dollars with nothing behind those dollars (fiat dollars) by 2% every year. We are supposed to believe that goal is good and also that stable prices or declining prices would set off a spiral of evil deflation. At 2% inflation, you have lost 20% of the value of your money in 10 years, 40% of the value of your money in 20 years, and so forth. The Fed was established in 1913 and the 1913 dollar is now worth 1 cent.

And it’s not just U.S. citizens boiling in the currency pot, it is the people of all nations. http://dollardaze.org/blog/?page_id=00024 “It is clear to anyone paying attention that the monetary system is irretrievably broken and will fail.” ~ Edwin Vieira, monetary scholar. DollarDaze.org studied 750 currencies and found “there is no historical precedence for a fiat currency that has succeeded in holding its value.”

The U.S. dollar is no different from the Roman denarius of Diocletian. “Diocletian shared the pernicious belief of the ancient world in the omnipotence of the state, a belief which many modern theorists continue to share with him and with it.” ~ Michael Rostovtzeff, a leading Roman historian, quoted by Murray Rothbard History of Money and Banking, Ludwig von Mises Institute, Jan 1, 2002.

“Centuries of history prove that economies that succumb to the debasement [of their currencies by political leaders] always fail; and their economies end up in ruins…Monetary policy is restricted by the universal laws of economics – laws that have passed the test of time, and cannot be disputed. A currency of a nation, a worldwide economic system cannot run indefinitely on money created out of thin air…We are in the midst of the collapse of the fiat monetary system.” ~ Michael PentoThe Coming Bond Market Collapse.

If they were honest, they would be saying, ‘send your children and your wealth to fight ISIS, or to fight al Qaida, or to fight in Iraq, or in Syria, or in Libya, or in Ukraine, to fight the perpetual war to support the value of the U.S. dollar, to prevent the rapid collapse of the value of the U.S. dollar, the world’s reserve currency.’  Instead, they announce yet another new war on a yet another foe trained and armed by us, all the nations dependent on the fiat U.S. dollar, and led by a leader who was once our ally or released from our prison.  Political leaders and bankers are saying, ‘come on in the water is fine.’

“A Washington Post-ABC News poll this week showed that Americans overwhelmingly view the Islamic State as a serious threat to vital U.S. interests and, in a significant shift, widely support airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. Seventy-one percent of all Americans say they support airstrikes in Iraq, and 65 percent support strikes in Syria. That is more than double the level of support a year ago for launching airstrikes to punish the Syrian regime.”
“Will Congress challenge this? No.   What of the 12 U.S. military bases in Iraq? Remember them? (1) Why are they there? (2) Why haven’t they been attacked by ISIS? No one ever mentions this. Here is a shattered former nation — shattered by U.S. troops — in which the U.S. government has permanent — read “forever” — commitments. If there is a threat to the homeland United States from ISIS, why has ISIS avoided attacking these bases?” ~ Gary North, Tea Party Economist http://teapartyeconomist.com/2014/09/10/americans-want-war-isis-long-inconvenienced/#fQKLWDef5PA0Y46K.99

Have you heard about the huge growth in oil production in Texas’ Permian Basin? Probably not. Shale oil wells there are yielding 65% more oil than they were 3 years ago – thanks to a new technology called horizontal drilling. The increased production shows no signs of stopping. Did you know that gasoline, jet fuel and heating oil made from shale oil burns cleaner that the very cleanest petroleum? Probably not.

Did you know that shale oil can be refined to gasoline and other fuels at the well, inside the oil well itself? No refinery needed. Fill the tanker truck at the well and drive it to the station. Even the fuel needed to drive the drilling rigs and electric generators could come directly from the microwave processor at the well after the well begins producing. It’s economical and energy prices could fall significantly.  Did you know this?  Probably not.

Did you know that the amount of shale oil in the U.S. exceeds the total oil reserves of all other countries? Probably not.

Why is the U.S. preparing to publically wage yet another war? Are you really going to allow your President and Congress to send the finest, best trained, most highly educated, best equipped military men and women- our children and grandchildren – and squander your wealth again to fight in yet another oil war among the tribes of Muhammad in order to protect access to oil for other nations and to protect the trading of oil in U.S. dollars? Don’t you think we will need these fine young people and arms to defend our homeland when the tribes of Muhammad attack again?  Probably not.

Does the U.S. really need to save the world from ISIS after Obama trained and armed ISIS and released ISIS’s leaders from Gitmo and Iraq? Don’t you realize that you are being brainwashed by your government and the press?  Probably not.

Don’t blame “them,” the “system,” or the bankers or the government.  It’s your government and you are paying for it.  Will you do anything to stop it?  Probably not.
