Flashback: Kerry on Invasions

“No president, though all of American history, has ever ceded, and nor would I, the right to preempt in any way necessary to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it, Jim, you have to do it in a way that passes the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people understand fully why you’re doing what you’re doing and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.” (Sen. John Kerry, First Presidential Debate, Miami, FL, 9/30/04) Now he wants to invade Syria, when the country and our allies oppose.

Obama and the Syria Civil War

Obama wants to go to war in Syria. From all appearances, this is a civil war between regional Sunni muslims and the Assad based Shiite muslims. Napoleon said "not interfere with the enemy when he is in the process of destroying himself." Obama has a long way to prove any reason to get involved 1) Who are the rebels and are they worse than Assad? 2) Is there a threat to America? 3) What is our end game / exit strategy? 4) Is any of this worth risking American lives? 5 If we just do an air war, what is the benefit if we replace one dictator with another? Do we really think they'll set up a Jeffersonian democracy. The case against Saddam was much more compelling than Assad, but Obama and Kerry opposed it. This is mind boggling. Let's compare dictators: Saddam: -- Invaded and pillaged Kuwait -- Broke terms of 1991 cease fire -- Kicked out weapons inspectors -- Used chemical weapons on 50,000+ Kurds -- Defied 18 UN resolutions -- Tried to assassinate Papa Bush -- Harbored a 1993 WTC bombing conspirator -- Paid the families of suicide bombers Assad -- May have used chemical weapons on 1,000 people. (Also may have been a false flag by the Sunni 'rebels')

Olympic Stupidity

The IOC recently announced it would drop wrestling as an Olympic sport. Definitely a dumb move. I'm not a wrestler or even a fan, but it's a classic Olympic sport.

 
How about they get rid of:
  • Rhythmic gymnastics - Do I need to explain this one?
  • Synchronized swimming - This is more like art. Why not make ballet an Olympic sport?
  • Synchronized diving - Should every sport have its own synchronized event - hurdles, pole vault, 1500m, etc?
  • Trampoline - It's too subjective and seems silly. My 3 year old jumps on a trampoline.
  • Soccer -the World Cup is the real event. No one cares about soccer at the Olympics
  • Tennis - Similar to Soccer: there is the Grand Slam
  • Badminton - This a lawn sport. What about lawn bowling or croquet.
  • BMX - There is already the X Games.
  • Table tennis - This is a parlor game. Why not have darts and billiards?.
Drop the planned addition:
  • Golf: For the same reason as soccer, tennis
  • Rugby: This is too local. I don't think baseball/softball should be back either for the same reasons.
Nix all other new sports:  karate, wushu (kungfu),  rollersports, wakeboarding, squash and sports (rock) climbing. Okay, maybe keep squash. Karate and kungfu would be good, but there is already judo and taekwando. The Chinese are trying to fill the Olympics with sports they are good at to win the medal counts. 

Change swimming to one race for each distance. Take out all the different styles, you shouldn't be able to win multiple medals at one distance because there are five different strokes. The breaststroke is a resting stroke. I never saw the point of trying to see who can do a resting stroke the fastest. That's like saying with the 100m final there could be Hopping, Backwards, Normal, Sideways, and Tied Hands.

The Truth About Global Warming... from Pravda?


Maybe pigs can fly. Pravda produces amazing truthful article about Global Warming

For years, the Elites of the West have cranked up the myth of Man Made Global Warming as a means first and foremost to control the lives and behaviors of their populations. Knowing full well that their produce in China and sell in the West model and its consequent spiral downward in wages and thus standards of living, was unsustainable, the elites moved to use this new "science" to guilt trip and scare monger their populations into smaller and more conservatives forms of living. In other words, they coasted them into the poverty that the greed and treason of those said same elites was already creating in their native lands.


What better way to staunch protests at worsening economic and life conditions than to make it feel like an honourable job/duty of the people to save "Gia". At the same time, they used this "science" as new pagan religion to further push out the Christianity they hate and despise and most of all, fear? Gia worship, the earth "mother", has been pushed in popular culture oozing out of the West for a better part of the past 1.5 decades. This is a religion replete with an army of priests, called Government Grant Scientists.

Various groups have fought back. This is including Russian hackers, who published a huge database of UK government, scientific and university emails depicting the fixing of data to sell Global Warming, er Climate Change (as if it never changed on its own). And while taking hit after hit, the beast, like Al Qaida, will not die. As a matter of fact, the beast is on a steady come back, as it is quite useful during the down times recession. The US alone spends $7 billion each year on warming "studies", which is, in truth, nothing but a huge money laundering operation, as no real science is conducted and vapid alarmist reports the only product generated.

Amongst the newest claims of pending disasters, is a cry that icepacks are now melting at three times the rate of the 1990s, even though there has not been any significant warming in the past 20 years. Greenland's icepack melt off, has been linked to volcanic activity under the ice, heating it. Must be the magmamen and their SUVs. These facts, however, do not faze the Gia crowd and their Elite/Governmental backers. The fact that a super storm hit the NE US is also being played as evidence of GW. Thank God that before GW no such things ever happened. How are they to explain that Russia and Eastern Europe are projected to have the coldest winter in 20 years? Oh, but I doubt my Western readers are even aware of that.

Now, with their economies in a spiral of debt laden, non-manufacturing recession (if not out and out depression), the Elites, who sense they are loosing their grip or toe hold on key economic regions outside their home regions, are once again calling out their inquisitors of Global Warming and sending them towards the developing world.

The first salvo has been fired by a British Warming dandy named Lord Nicholas Stern of Brantford, who as an academic at Whitehall, has made a career and quite a bit of money off of this scam. Lord Stern, a former World Bank chief economist and author of the landmark Stern review of the economics of climate change, was a close associate of Gordon Brown and the Leftists, who with the Tory counterparts and in parallel to the American Democrats/Republicans set up the grand and self destructive economic schemes that have plunged their own nations and many many others into the abyss of poverty.

The good Lord Stern, in commentary on why countries such as Russia, China, India and Brazil, in other words, the BRICs, have to pony up cash and depress their own growth, made this statement for the Guardian paper: "It's a brutal arithmetic - the changing structure of the world's economy has been dramatic. That is something developing countries will have to face up to,"

His premise is that even if you take out the deindustrialized West, run away Global Warming will not stop due to the industrialized world. Its now all the fault of those raising themselves up for the destruction of the world, from the phantom joke of GW. Lord Stern tried to assure that the opening salvo was not a salvo, by stating: "I am not pointing the finger at the developing world, just looking at what is necessary. I am not accusing or proposing, just calculating what is needed [to meet scientific estimates of the emissions cuts needed to avoid dangerous levels of climate change]". More like a calculated accusation. After all, this is not some light weight of the GIA cult, but the movement's chief economist who enjoyed the ear of the UK government: a perfect tool of the Western Elites.

Expect the cries to get louder and more shrill in the months to follow.

Gun Saves Three Lives


This is why guns are necessary. They provide protection everyone no matter how young or strong. By searching every room until he found her hiding in the attic, it is clear that the intruder was looking to harm, not just rob. Of course these stories often get scant coverage and are buried on back pages.

A would-be burglar was looking to cash in, but instead found himself in a world of pain when a Georgia mother who refused to be victimized shot him multiple times in the face and neck. The Loganville woman, who was not identified, was in the home with her 9-year-old twins on Friday afternoon when someone began ringing the doorbell. Thinking it was just a door-to-door salesperson, she didn't answer

But after the ringing persisted, the person began prying the door open with a crowbar. She quickly retreated to an attic crawlspace with the children, but not before she also picked up her handgun. The burglar, whom police identified as Paul Ali Slater, did a room-by-room search of the home, and when he reached the attic, she was ready.

Walton County Sheriff Joe Chapman told WSBTV: 'The perpetrator opens that door. Of course, at that time he’s staring at her, her two children and a .38 revolver.'
