Hussain Abdul Hussain gets it. He’s one of the most interesting Arab journalists and he also writes in English. His latest article—published in the “Huffington Post”—entitled “Lonely Obama vs. Popular Iran” [but you don't have to use the link as I quoted practically all of it] he points out what the most realistic people and more moderate rulers in the Arabic-speaking world are thinking.

He explains what I’ve been telling you and makes thee points with exceptional clarity.

There has been a huge international controversy about the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a leading Hamas terrorist, in Dubai on January 19. I have no idea who did it but have some points to make on the subject.

1. Generally speaking, media coverage almost never (in Europe) or only minimally (in the United States) talks about what Mabhouh actually did to merit his end. The New York Times had the following paragraph at the very end of its story:

“Mr. Mabhouh had a role in the 1989 abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers, and was also involved in smuggling weapons into Gaza, Israel and Hamas have said. Israel officials say the weapons came from Iran.” Click here to read the entire article…

Gutierrez Trading Obamacare for Amnesty

Obamacare for Amnesty

by jobdestruction.com

The push for Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) is heating up. Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) recently publicized their plans, and President Obama gave them a nodding approval. According to the New York Times [link below]:

Two senators, a Democrat and a Republican, unveiled the outlines on Thursday of a proposal to overhaul the immigration  system, which would require illegal immigrants to admit they broke the law before they could gain legal status and require all workers in the United States to carry a biometric identity card to prove that they are eligible to work.

“Senators Offer Immigration Overhaul”, by Julia Preston, March 18, 2010

So, if Schumer and Graham get their way illegal aliens will be given “legal status” merely by admitting the obvious fact that they are guilty of sneaking across the border. The senators say whatever they want, but what they are calling for is a thinly veiled excuse for granting amnesty. Click here to read the entire article…

Dont forget to sign up for your Interrogation

Are You Scheduled For Government

Interrogation If Senate bill 3081 Is Passed?

by Dan Scott of indybay.org

How might Americans respond should Government use this bill to take away their loved ones, family members and friends on mere suspicion? Sen. McCain’s bill has the potential of spawning domestic terrorism in the United States.

On March 4, 2010, Sen. John McCain introduced S. 3081, The “Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010.”

Under S.3081, an “individual” need only be Suspected by Government of “suspicious activity” or “supporting hostilities” to be dragged off and held indefinitely in Military Custody. Government will have the power to detain and interrogate any individual without probable cause. Government need only allege an individual kept in detention, is an Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent suspected of; having engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners; or has purposefully and materially supported hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners. How could one prove to Government they did not purposely do something? “Materially Supporting Hostilities” against the United States could include any person or group that spoke out or demonstrated disapproval against an agency of U.S. Government. When you read the bill it appears “suspicion” is not necessary for government to detain and interrogate individuals. McCain’s bill has the potential of spawning domestic terrorism in the United States. Consider how Americans might respond should Government use this bill to take away their loved ones, family members and friends on mere suspicion. It is foreseeable many Americans might go underground to Resist Government Tyranny. Definition for Unprivileged Enemy Belligerent: (Anyone Subject to a Military Commission)

Bill S.3081 Could Lock You Up Indefinitely

Hickory Dickory Dock,

Your rights are astray,

What is up with these crack pots?

Isn’t this a special little twist?

By Jim Turner

Ex-POW wanting US Citizens to become POW’s if they dare speak out against the governmental machine of the new America.

Just think, one day your children will wake in the morning with the doors of their home busted in, the house in shambles, and no mom and dad anywhere to be seen.  Why? Because they were taken away in the middle of the night just like in Russian, Cuba, China and other dictator countries with no warning, and held indefinitely, without notice of their Miranda Rights, and without ever being charged with a crime for crimes against the state that the president defined just moments before the military machine took away your dearly beloved parents.

Sounds crazy doesn’t it? Well let me introduce you to this wonderful new little bill, rarely talked about in the media, yet is being drafted as I type on this keyboard that will do just that.

This family fun filled bill, which could come straight from the times of 1933, is titled, “ Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010”. Aka S.3081 Click here to read the entire article…

Destroying America one Friend At a Time

Is America A Declining Power?

Its Friends Think So and They Are Scared

by Barry Rubin of The Rubin Reports

“What do you think,” asked the reporter, “about the U.S. pressure on China?”

Puzzled, I responded, “What pressure on China?”

And then I realized what he meant. Like many observers, especially those in the Third World, he thinks U.S. policy is tightly coordinated. In other words, he thinks that the United States was about to sell arms to Beijing’s rival, Taiwan, and have the Dalai Lama, who claims to be the rightful ruler of Chinese-occupied Tibet, come to Washington as part of a grand scheme to force China into supporting sanctions against Iran.

This is, partly, where conspiracy theories come from, assuming that every step taken by the United States is carefully planned out and that every event in the world—given American power—is part of a larger scheme. Why believe that the United States itself blew up the World Trade Center? Based on the assumption that the United States is too strong, its intelligence too good, to let a bunch of barely trained terrorists enter country, board planes, and fly them into its tallest building.

The Point of No Return Is Now

Please dont push that red button...

The Point of No Return:

Clearly the Obama Administration

Won’t Ever Do Anything Serious

Against Iran’s Nuclear Program

by Barry Rubin of the Rubin Reports

We must now face an extremely unpleasant truth: even giving the Obama Administration every possible break regarding its Iran policy it is now clear that the U.S. government isn’t going to take strong action on the nuclear weapons issue.

Note that I didn’t even say “effective” action, that is, measures which would force Iran to back down. I’m neither advocating nor do I think there was ever any possibility that the United States, even under Obama’s predecessor, might take military action.

I’m saying that they aren’t even going to make a good show of trying seriously to do anything at all. Click here to read the entire article…

First they came for Lebanon; Now you!

First they came for Lebanon, then the UK.

Finally they came for the US, and there was no one left to stop them,

Due to appeasers of this little thing called Islam.

America, we are coming for you!

by Michael Hernandez of The Chronicle Watch

The price that Lebanon paid at the hand of Islam will be nothing in comparison as to what Islam wishes to befall upon the United Kingdom and United States if they are allowed to have their ruthless ways.

We here in the West must stand firmly against the Islamization of this country. The UK, through their political correctness, has already given way to the Islamic onslaught that is leading their nation into the depth of hell; a hell that they will not be able to reverse.

If America does not wake up, and stop this foolishness of appeasing Islam, then America will become the next Lebanon and the hand of the Islamic followers.

Watch the below video to learn more about the harsh reality of what happens under Islamic rule.

Remember, either submit, or die, as that is the only choice the infidel has according to the Islamic way.

What’s Happening in American Schools

A Mystery: What’s Happening in American Schools

and Why Aren’t Parents Aware of It?

by Barry Rubin of the Rubin Reports

As I contemplate what’s happening now with American schools and Western society in general– especially ideological indoctrination by schools and seeming parental indifference to it—I’m reminded of a  relevant, true story.

It was in the 1870s or 1880s, a time with many parallels to today. Peretz Smolenskin, a Russian Jewish novelist, editor, and Zionist, was then living in Western Europe. A wealthy Russian Jew visited him to ask advice on what to do with his daughter. She’d been radicalized in school and joined the terrorist revolutionary movement, the People’s Will, which idealized the Russian peasantry. Members were assassinating officials and many were sent to Siberia or executed. The man complained bitterly about his problem.

Smolenskin tried to be sympathetic but was rather irritated and so ended up being quite blunt. The real cause of such problems, he told the father, was a failure of parents, not children:

“How did you bring up your daughter?….You sent her to high school, where she learned about other peoples. Did you teach her about our own people? Did you teach her our own language? Did you interest her in our own history? Did you want her to know about our own people and our own national aspirations? To whom, then, should you bring your complaints, if not to yourself?” Click here to read the entire article…

Who needs the police when you have Interpol

Wither Sovereignty

Executive Order Amended to Immunize INTERPOL In America – Is The ICC Next?

by Steve Schippert, Clyde Middleton of ThreatsWatch.org

Last Thursday, December 17, 2009, The White House released an Executive Order “Amending Executive Order 12425.” It grants INTERPOL (International Criminal Police Organization) a new level of full diplomatic immunity afforded to foreign embassies and select other “International Organizations” as set forth in the United States International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945.

By removing language from President Reagan’s 1983 Executive Order 12425, this international law enforcement body now operates – now operates – on American soil beyond the reach of our own top law enforcement arm, the FBI, and is immune from Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
