What really worries me about these threats from Iran, as well as reports of a weakened China, more threats from Russia, and a “nuclear energy” deal between Russia and Saudi Arabia, is that history seems to be repeating itself. I don’t mean to say that very specific things are happening as they did in the past, but that the world tends to handle crisis the same way, and in cycles whereby they never learn from previous mistakes. Global economic crises tend to lead to global war. Like it or not, war creates a lot of jobs for some and can shore up the economy, again, for some. I hope that’s not where we’re headed, but it would sure fit the scenario outlined in Ezekiel, and the similarities are far beyond what one might consider just coincidental.

Underscoring its desire to keep U.S. aircraft carriers from the Persian Gulf, a senior Iranian military commander today announced his possible plan to ambush the American fleet.

Chalk this one up to more bluster, or part of a mounting back and forth rhetoric headed nowhere good, either way – Tehran plans to rely on its subs.

Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Army’s Self-Sufficiency Jihad, Rear Admiral Farhad Amiri told Fars that Iran has the finest electic diesel submarines in the world, and that while the U.S. has focused on Tehran’s “astonishing surface capabilities,” it has forgotten about the underwater threat.

Amiri said he plans to slip his fleet of subs onto the Persian Gulf floor and “fire missiles and torpedoes simultaneously.”

A bus driver in Texas ended up having to call the cops and have the unruly, rude…..typical OWS protestors thrown off his Greyhound bus. The article doesn’t really say what they were doing, other than the driver was having to tell them to sit down and shut up constantly. We’ve all seen the mob mentality of these jerks, though, so you can probably imagine just how they were acting.

What the self involved, lazy, OWS protestors don’t understand is that, when they put other lives in danger by being unruly on a bus, their rights to free speech end there. I’m glad they got thrown out on their butts, especially in the middle of a state they probably despise, or at least are despised by the decent, law abiding Americans who live there.

A group of Occupy protesters on its way from San Diego to Washington, D.C. is furious after it claims it was kicked off a Greyhound bus in Amarillo, TX.

“I was discriminated against because I was with Occupy San Diego,” protester Vivian McCardle told KFDA-TV. “It’s appalling that people would treat others like that….

whaaaaa…..cry me an endangered rain forest

No one was kicked off just yet, and two of the officers left the bus to speak with the driver once again, while one remained on board to speak with the protesters. The officer who remained inside, told everyone that they would be able to stay on the bus as long as they don’t communicate with the driver at all. Everyone agreed and were looking forward to getting back on the road. The officer even explained to the protesters that they have to deal with this driver, his disrespectful attitude, and attempts to get people arrested without cause all the time.

While one of the officers was talking with the passengers on the bus, the driver was seen waving his hands in disgust and his head in disapproval at the two officers speaking with him outside. A few minutes later, the driver and both officers returned and explained to everyone that anyone with Occupy would have to leave the bus.

Without argument and still in shock, all thirteen protesters even those not pointed out by the driver, quietly stood up and walked off the buss together. By the time the group was booted from the bus, it was already after 8pm and over an hour since the bus was originally supposed to depart Amarillo.

They were probably lost without all the rats, infestations, scabies, and hippie paraphernalia they are used to in DC and New York. But, I’m sure they had their iPhone to get them out of the bind of being stranded….corporate products for me, but not for thee.

This is why the 2012 election is so important to the future of the U.S. and the world. We are running out of time with Iran, and the threat is more real than the Obama-loving MSM will ever admit.

We must elect a true leader who doesn’t give up every time he’s faced with something that might taint his Presidency, or anger his base. Our future President must have a moral compass that puts country and what is right before himself. Courage and selflessness on the part of our future President are the only things that will spare us another global war.

A report that Iran is about a year away from having the capability to build a nuclear bomb may be too optimistic, contended John Bolton, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

“I worry the publicly available information is giving only a very small picture and that Iran is actually even much further along,” Bolton said today in a radio interview.

…snip…

In his article last week, Heinonen, who was the IAEA’s director-general until 2010, said that building a stock of 250 kg of 20-percent enriched uranium did not mean Iran could deploy a bomb without further engineering work.

Still, he allowed that 20-percent enriched uranium could within weeks be further purified to the 90-percent necessary for weapons grade.

When France is described as being tougher on Iran than the the United States, you know you have a coward in the Oval Office. Obama remains clueless to the threat Iran poses to the United States, and couldn’t care less about the welfare of the Jewish people. Vote him out of office America. God is watching.

A senior Israeli official voiced disappointment in the Obama administration on Sunday, saying “election-year considerations” lay behind its caution over tough Iran sanctions sought by U.S. legislators.

While Washington has been talking tougher about Iran’s nuclear work and threat to block oil export routes out of the Gulf if hit with harsher sanctions, new U.S. measures adopted on December 31 gave President Barak Obama leeway on the scope of penalties on the Iranian central bank and oil exports.

Moshe Yaalon, Israel’s vice prime minister, contrasted the administration’s posture to that of France and Britain, which he said “are taking a very firm stand and understand sanctions must be imposed immediately.”

“In the United States, the Senate passed a resolution, by a majority of 100-to-one, to impose these sanctions, and in the U.S. administration there is hesitation for fear of oil prices rising this year, out of election-year considerations,” Yaalon told Israel Radio.

Once again the “good news” of last week has been revised, and a media dump of the new bad news has been strategically released on a weekend, when fewer people will see it. There is no good news on the jobs front, and I hope the funny math that always comes out before the revised numbers a few days later aren’t fooling the American people. There is no recovery, only an Obama Depression. We can not afford 4 more years of this little boy wonder in office.

The number of Americans applying for first-time jobless benefits rose last week, a report showed on Thursday, reversing a recent decline and suggesting the labor market remains brittle. Unemployment claims jumped to 399,000 in the first week of 2012, the highest in six weeks, from an upwardly revised 375,000 in the prior week. The four-week average of claims also marched higher to 381,750 from 374,000. The Labor Department report also showed 3.63 million continuing claims, up from 3.61 million. Including the millions of workers receiving benefits under emergency federal programs, some 7.3 million Americans were receiving unemployment benefits as of Dec. 24, the most recent date for which comprehensive figures are available. The U.S. unemployment rate has fallen sharply in recent months and was 8.5 percent December, but some economists worry the drop has been due in part to discouraged workers dropping out of the labor force.

Shhhhhh…..have a nice weekend and never mind the continued plummet into a weaker economy.

Obama can no longer play the “blame Bush” game. Not now, or in the campaign to come. It rings hollow when the President whines that Bush left him “a mess” and a pile of debt, when he himself has wracked up more debt than nearly all administrations since the country was founded. And, he did so in only one term in office. Think what damage he could do with a second term.

Now if we can just get our Republican nominee, who ever that ends up being, to actually point this out as many times as they possibly can, we stand a good chance of getting rid of this Marxist dictator. The Republican’s (not true Conservatives) problem always seems to be a meek, afraid to make waves approach to campaigning. It’s the same cowardice they display once they’ve been elected to Congress. They need to stop being afraid of the Progressive smear machine, and get the message out to middle America. Now more than ever they need to act like men, instead of little boys who can’t handle the heat.

President Barack Obama has been increasing the national debt during his presidency by an average of $4.24 billion per day ($4,240,506,004.34) putting him on a pace to increase the national debt by $6.2 trillion ($6,195,379,272,340.74) by the end of his term on Jan. 20, 2013, according to the debt figures published by the U.S. Treasury.

That $6.2 trillion is more debt than was accumulated by all U.S. presidents from George Washington through Bill Clinton combined.

In fact, the U.S. national debt did not eclipse the $6.195 trillion level—the amount Obama is on pace to increase it in one term—until August 19, 2002, during President George W. Bush’s second year of office….

For any prophecy scholars out there who didn’t think “Rosh”, mentioned in Ezekiel 38 and 39, could refer to Russia forming an alliance with Islamic countries to attack Israel, current news proves how likely this alliance really is. It also warns us of how close we are to the Middle East war that will set the tribulation in motion.

Russia and China Would Consider An Attack On Iran – Or Syria – As An Attack On Their National Security

The escalating conflict around Iran should be contained by common effort, otherwise the promising Arab Spring will grow into a “scorching Arab Summer,” says Dmitry Rogozin, Russia’s deputy prime minister and former envoy to NATO.

“Iran is our close neighbor, just south of the Caucasus. Should anything happen to Iran, should Iran get drawn into any political or military hardships, this will be a direct threat to our national security,” stressed Rogozin.

Of course, this isn’t the only evidence we have to go on. Russia has long been supplying Iran with arms and equipment needed for their nuclear program. They are an ally to the Islamic world, and a very real threat to Israel, just as the Bible prophesied.

This is Barrack Obama’s idea of fighting a war. First you fight and detain the enemy that is killing our soldiers, then you negotiate with that same enemy and let the prisoners go. Whatever happened to not negotiating with terrorists? We HAVE to unseat this dictator in chief in 2012.

Washington Post opinion writer Marc A. Theissen has published a list of the Taliban leaders President Obama is reportedly planning to release from Guantanamo Bay detention center — and their rap sheets just might (or not) shock you.

The Obama administration is allegedly considering the release of these senior Taliban leaders as part of a deal to bring the militant Islamist group to engage in peace talks. According to Theissen, if Obama does in fact proceed with the release, he will do “tremendous harm” to U.S. national security “and to his prospects for reelection this fall.”

Recent legislation was signed into law by Obama allowing the detention of ANYONE indefinitely on the say so of DHS. Now the DHS has been given the authority to collect personal information on these people. It’s all coming together right before our eyes:

Under the National Operations Center (NOC)’s Media Monitoring Initiative that emerged from the Department of Homeland Security in November, Washington has written permission to collect and retain personal information from journalists, news anchors, reporters or anyone who uses “traditional and/or social media in real time to keep their audience situationally aware and informed.”

That means the same DHS that can detain people without due process, or without charges even being filed, can collect data on journalists, bloggers, people who post on facebook and twitter, and anyone else that doesn’t tow the line for Obama. Hitler took over the media the same way 30 days after he took power. It just took Obama a little longer. No wonder Obama wants to impose internet ID’s – so DHS knows who to pick up and take to all those new FEMA camps they’re building.

It’s sad to think, but we may see another world war in our lifetime, and sooner than you might think. Historically speaking, this is how they start.

US, Russian French and British air and naval forces streamed to the Syrian and Iranian coasts over the weekend on guard for fresh developments at the two Middle East flashpoints.
The Russian carrier Admiral Kuznetsov anchored earlier than planned at Syria’s Tartus port on the Mediterranean Sunday, Jan. 8, arriving together with the destroyer Admiral Chabanenko and frigate Yaroslav Mudry.
To counter this movement, France consigned an air defense destroyer Forbin to the waters off Tartus.

debkafile’s military sources report a buildup in the last 48 hours of western naval forces opposite Iran in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea in readiness for Tehran to carry out its threat to close the Strait of Hormuz.

Britain has dispatched the HMS Daring, a Type 45 destroyer armed with new technology for shooting down missiles, to the Sea of Oman, due to arrive at the same time as the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.

Our sources report too that Saturday, the giant RQ-4 Global Hawk UAV, took off from the USS Stenning aircraft carrier for surveillance over the coasts of Iran. The Stennis and its strike group are cruising in the Sea of Oman at the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz after Tehran announced it would not be allowed to cross through.
This was the first time the US has deployed unmanned aerial vehicles over Iran since its RQ-170 stealth drone was shot down by Iran on Dec. 4. It was also the first time the huge drone was ordered to take off from an aircraft carrier for a Broad Aerial Maritime Surveillance Mission (BAMS).

Illinois has a new law that took effect on January 1 requiring all people who purchase drain cleaners or any caustic substances to provide a government issued photo ID. And retailers now must ask for identification from those buying drain cleaners and maintain extensive records of which caustic products have been purchased, in what amounts, and by whom.

The law came about after two Illinois women were burned by acid attacks back in 2008. One of the women later admitted to burning herself with acid, but the law was still pushed through the system.

And so, because of one random crime where acid was used to burn a victim, thousands of people will be forced to show identification when they purchase drain cleaners, and countless hours of business time will be spent filling out, maintaining and monitoring the government mandated forms associated with each purchase. Additionally, any person carrying caustic chemicals can be charged with a Class 4 felony in Illinois. (Class 4 felonies can carry fines up to $25,000 and 1-3 years in jail.)

The Illinois drain cleaner law is just one of the 40,000 new laws that took effect in the new year. For the record, the 40,000 new laws are a 29% increase over the previous year.

40,000 new laws! In other words, 40,000 more instances of the government telling us what we can and can’t do.

With Iran sure to get a nuke in the future, and with threats like this being made, American’s should think long and hard before they nominate a candidate for the Republican ticket.

It’s unbelievable to me that Ron Paul even registers on the radar of national polling. His beliefs regarding our policy and response to Iran are pure lunacy, and based on an illogical fantasy about the realities of our global situation. Iran’s leaders are just as evil and ruthless as Hitler, Stalin, or any other murderous dictator you can recall from history. There is absolutely no reason to assume Iran won’t follow through with their threats, or that everything will be fine, if we just do nothing. Those who claimed Hitler was harmless were dead wrong, too. Only this time it won’t be just the Jews who get annihilated. American’s, too, would pay dearly if they turn a blind eye and follow the “feel good” leader that allows them to keep their head firmly placed in the sand.

Iran will take action if a U.S. aircraft carrier which left the area because of Iranian naval exercises returns to the Gulf, the state news agency quoted army chief Ataollah Salehi as saying on Tuesday.

“Iran will not repeat its warning … the enemy’s carrier has been moved to the Sea of Oman because of our drill. I recommend and emphasize to the American carrier not to return to the Persian Gulf,” Salehi told IRNA.

“I advise, recommend and warn them (the Americans) over the return of this carrier to the Persian Gulf because we are not in the habit of warning more than once,” the semi-official Fars news agency quoted Salehi as saying…

It doesn’t help matters that we have a President who displays weakness at every turn, ESPECIALLY with regards to Iran’s belligerence. Each small victory we give them only emboldens them and brings us closer to another Holocaust. Vote for a true Conservative who supports Israel and faces reality. Bachman or Santorum both have those qualities, as well as a comforting level of knowledge on matters of defense and intelligence. Don’t let the media, or the pollsters pick your candidate this time around!

These birds apparently just don’t like New Year’s Eve. Or, it was just a really bad year for them. I’ve had those kind of years.

Blackbirds have fallen dead from the sky in a central Arkansas town for the second New Year’s Eve in a row.

KATV showed a radar image that it said showed a large mass over Beebe a few hours before midnight Saturday. The Little Rock television station reported that hundreds of birds had died.

Beebe animal control worker Hearst Taylor told KATV the reason for the bird deaths isn’t yet known.

Last year, fireworks were blamed for the deaths of thousands of birds. It wasn’t immediately clear if year-end celebrations are again to blame.

Biologists said last year’s kill was caused by the birds being rousted from their roosts and flying into homes, cars, telephone poles and each other.

It only took a week for Iran to start interfering in Iraq. But, at least Obama will be able to say he fulfilled at least one of his campaign promises. This can only end badly.

Iran stands ready to expand its military and security ties with Iraq, its armed forces chief of staff said Sunday, a week after the exit of US forces from the neighbouring Arab country.

General Hassan Firouzabadi hailed the “forced departure” of the US and allied forces that he said “was due to the resistance and determination of the Iraqi people and government,” the state Islamic Republic News Agency reported.

The statements were made in messages Firouzabadi sent to his Iraqi counterpart, Lieutenant General Babaker Zebari, and to Iraq’s acting defence minister, Saadun al-Dulaimi, IRNA said.

The departure of the US troops “was due to the resistance and determination of the Iraqi people and government,” he said.

“I hope the humiliating failure of the United States after nine years of occupying Iraq will serve as a lesson for them to never think of attacking another country,” he said.

I pray that four years of this weak President are all we have to endure.

Now, if Conservatives can just elect a true Conservative that will repeal Obamacare and the rest of the Executive Orders the King foisted on us. Gingrich is not it, though. He’s a progressive through and through. A little reading on his past positions and speeches will show a very different man than the the establishment Republicans and MSM are putting out there. I fear this next election is going to be a repeat of the last one, where we’re left wondering how we elected an old fart with an entire cemetery in his closet.

A majority of adults say President Barack Obama does not deserve a second term but are evenly divided on whether he will win re-election next year, says a new Associated Press-GfK poll that highlights some of the campaign obstacles he faces.

Although the public would prefer Obama be voted out of office, he fares relatively well in potential matchups with Republicans Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. Another bit of good news for the Democrat: For the first time since spring, more adults said the economy got better in the past month than said it got worse.

We can’t nominate someone that will give Obama more than enough ammunition to make even himself look good by comparison.

When you read articles like this one, it makes the hatred and barbaric violence of the end-times seem entirely possible, doesn’t it?

A mob of some 20 Islamists stormed a debate in Amsterdam that was featuring two Muslim liberals, the Canadian writer and Muslim feminist Irshad Manji and the Dutch-Moroccan Green Left MP Tofik Dibi.

Muslim extremists belonging to the group Sharia4Belgium, which seeks to establish Islamic Sharia law across Europe, yelled “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is Greater”) and threatened to break Manji’s neck. Waving an Islamist jihadist flag, they then demanded that Manji and Dibi be executed for apostasy.

The December 8 debate on how liberal Muslims can prevent Islam from being hijacked by Muslim extremists was held at the De Baile venue in downtown Amsterdam, and was sponsored by the Brussels-based European Foundation for Democracy. The event resumed after police arrested several of the Islamists.

The incident highlights the increasing frequency with which Muslims are using intimidation tactics — including harassment and even murder — in an effort to silence free speech in Europe and to impose Islam on the continent.

Manji is touring Europe to promote her new book, “Allah, Liberty and Love.” She is also the author of “The Trouble With Islam Today,” which is critical of mainstream Islam and its deep-seated anti-Semitism.

The confrontation took place just days after a group of ten Dutch-Moroccan Muslim youths threw stones at a Santa Claus in the southwestern Slotervaart neighborhood of Amsterdam, where more than 30% of the population is Moroccan and another 20% is Turkish.

In recent years, Christian festivities celebrating the arrival of “Sinterklaas” to the Netherlands have been cancelled in several cities due to threats and violence by Muslim youths.

In Belgium, 40 members of Sharia4Belgium recently disrupted a speech about Islam by the Dutch author Benno Barnard. The lecture, entitled “The Islam Debate: Long Live God, Down with Allah!,” was part of a series of talks about the Enlightenment at Antwerp University.

Sharia4Belgium is a radical Muslim organization that denounces democracy and wants to turn Belgium into an Islamic state. The group has established an Islamic Sharia law court in Antwerp, the second-largest city in Belgium. The objective of the court is to create a parallel Islamic legal system in Belgium that will challenge the state’s authority as the enforcer of civil law protections guaranteed by the Belgian constitution.

In France, teachers in schools with a high proportion of Muslim children are being threatened on an almost daily basis by Muslims who object to courses about the Holocaust, the Crusades or evolution, and who demand halal [food "permitted" under Islamic Sharia law] meals and “reject French culture and its values,” according to a report published by the French government. Muslims are also trying to silence discussion of events related to Israel and the Palestinians, and American military actions in Muslim countries. …..

The Islamist, terrorist group The Muslim Brotherhood is going back to the streets in Cairo without the leftists covering for them. It doesn’t appear they’re going to stop with the Arab mess until they’ve rested power from the military regime currently running the country.

Hundreds of thousands of Egyptians rallied Friday in Cairo’s Tahrir square with Islamists in the forefront to protest against what they say are attempts by the country’s military rulers to designate themselves as the guardians of a new Egypt. It was one of the largest rallied in Egypt in recent months.

Most rallies in Tahrir have been led by liberal- or left-leaning groups. But Friday’s rally was dominated by the country’s most organized political group, the Muslim Brotherhood, which has rarely come out in full force since the protests that forced President Hosni Mubarak to step down in February.

The Brotherhood had until recently avoided confrontation with the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, but now warns of escalating its protest campaign if plans to give permanent political powers to the military are not scrapped.

The remains of U.S. soldiers were disposed of by cremation and dumping the remains in a landfill. It’s hard to believe our government, or our military commanders, could be that insensitive and callous, especially when you consider that Osama Bin Laden got a well planned, Muslim burial at sea. I doubt any of his body parts were tossed in a landfill. Someone in our government has a seriously screwed up sense of loyalty and duty to country, not to mention a malfunctioning moral compass. Perhaps the same person who admits his own disdain for Israel’s Prime Minister, and handles her enemies with kid gloves. You have to admit, a pattern emerged from the first days and weeks of his term in office. He bowed before Muslim leaders, tried to befriend the completely insane President of Iran, and then sent our troops into a third and fourth war, and sanctioned, at some level of his administration, dumping the remains of casualties from those wars in a landfill.

An Air Force official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that families had granted the military authorization to deal with any residual remains, but acknowledged they had not been made aware those remains would end up in a landfill.

THROWN IN THE TRASH

“I’m deeply troubled by the reports about what’s happened at the mortuary at the Dover Air Force Base. And I’m sure you would agree with me, this is outrageous that remains of our soldiers would be put in a landfill,” said Senator Kelly Ayotte.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was speaking two days after the United Nations atomic agency released a report that for the first time said Iran was conducting experiments whose sole purpose was the development of nuclear arms.

“The enemies, particularly the United States and its pawns and the Zionist regime, should know that the Iranian nation does not seek to invade any country or nation,” he said, addressing officers at a military academy in Tehran.

Oh, no, of course not. Iran has completely pure intentions and would never “wipe Israel off the map”! Why are dictators so unaware of how moronic their statements sound to the rest of the educated world?

This is what you get when you support the fleabaggers in Zuccotti Park. The Men’s Warehouse also advertised their support for the mob with huge posters in their windows. Those windows were smashed by protesters with every other business they targeted. Sadly, good people are losing jobs in New York, and once thriving businesses are going under because of the actions of these jerks. I wonder how far New York will let the mob rule go on, before they actually do something about it.

In an ironic twist of fate, the owners of pair of San Diego coffee and hot dog carts — who initially provided free food and beverage to Occupy protesters – had to shut down after demonstrators turned violent, splattering their kiosks with blood and urine. CBS reports that Occupiers stole items from the cart in addition to spray-painting them with graffiti.

If that were not enough, the vendors also said they recently received death threats from protesters.

If I were New York City officials, I’d take them at their word on the death threats. If OWSies aren’t getting enough attention, they’ll up the anti beyond anything most Americans can imagine. And, that violence is only going to spread.

In the minds (scary thought) of the occupy protesters, they are the only one’s with the right to freedom of speech, or the freedom to assemble. Anyone outside the group “think” going on in these protests must be attacked and silenced. Is anyone else starting to wonder where the police are when this is going on??!! Why are the rights of the occupiers more important to protect than those peacefully meeting inside a building? The protesters are probably being handled with kid gloves in some locations because we know who would cry the loudest and actually get the media’s attention.

Occupy DC protesters violently injured peaceful Tea Party go-ers (some elderly) and attemped to force entry into the Washington Convention Center on Friday (Nov 4, 2011), where Americans for Prosperity is hosting their “Defending the American Dream Summit.” The protesters also formed roadblocks, surrounding the convention center and only allowing non-luxury cars to pass. Parents with their children were caught in the violence. Some injured… Auto/pedestrian accidents occured as Occupy protestors rushed into the streets hurling profanities at drivers and attempting to block drivers’ paths….

Apparently, more than one traitor to Israel leaked information regarding a planned attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities. So far, it sounds like the leak isn’t going to be an obstacle to Israel’s fulfillment of those plans, eventually. If so, the world is truly getting crazy fast.

The entire Middle East is in turmoil, and increasingly under Islamist’s control. Libya is flying the Al Qaeda flag, and poses one of the biggest threats to the U.S., if a war breaks out between Arab nations and Israel. Cutting off the Strait of Hormuz would seriously impact the world’s oil supply and the global economy, which is already on the verge of collapse.

Could Iran’s nuclear ambitions be the fuse that set’s off the prophesied Middle East war that will usher in the Antichrist? All the right players are doing exactly what the Bible predicts. Iran’s President certainly believes this is the beginning of the chaos and bloodshed that will usher in the 12th Imam, who Islam’s teachings portray as a dead on match for the Antichrist of the Bible. We are living in interesting and intense times. Be ready for all contingencies…a chaotic, desperate world, or the glorious return of Christ for His church.

Israel’s prime minister has ordered an investigation into alleged leaks of plans to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities, it has been reported.

According to the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida, the main suspects are the former heads of the Mossad and the Shin Bet, respectively Israel’s foreign and domestic intelligence agencies.

Netanyahu is said to believe that the two, Meir Dagan and Yuval Diskin, wanted to torpedo plans being drawn up by him and Ehud Barak, the defence minister, to hit Iranian nuclear sites. Tzipi Livni, leader of the opposition Kadima party, is also said to have been persuaded to attack Netanyahu for “adventurism” and “gambling with Israel’s national interest”.

The paper suggested that the purpose of the leaks was to prevent an attack, which had moved from the stage of discussion to implementation. “Those who oppose the plan within the security establishment decided to leak it to the media and thwart the plan,” it said.

I just don’t see how this hurts Israel’s future plans. Sure, it will delay things, but I think most world leaders are at least smart enough to know Israel isn’t going to sit by and let a nut like Ahmadinejad get a nuclear weapon. They’ve taken care of nuclear problems for the U.S. once before, and they’ll probably have to do it again. Sadly, our current administration will likely join the rest of the world in condemning Israel for an action that will save their collective behinds.

Interesting. It looks like the UK is gearing up to help Israel. Didn’t see that one coming. Oh wait, their just going to back up the U.S. if we do all the heavy lifting and strike first. That, I did expect.

Rapes and molestations are occurring with increasing frequency at many of the occupy protests, and the leaders and funders of these masses of humanity are handling matters by sweeping things under the rug, and telling the victims to keep their mouths shut. I know 99% of America would not handle this kind of crime by ignoring it, as did the victim’s co-protesters, but the 1% sure would. It’s truly sad what these women, and in some cases men, are going through.

The Wall Street Occupiers have become embroiled in a slew of sexual assault allegations in recent weeks, and now Baltimore joins the list of cities with Occupations that have resulted in rape charges.

In an interview with Fox Baltimore, a distraught woman who had previously joined the Occupiers claimed she was raped and robbed Friday night at the Occupy Baltimore’s waterfront campsite.

She made it clear that none of the Occupiers came to her aid or tried to help her identify her attacker afterwards. The unidentified woman also told reporters that she couldn’t go home because her attacker had taken her bills and knew where she lived.

With her voice cracking from apparent shock and rage, the woman said of Occupy Wall Street that “If this is supposed to be a good organization, it isn’t. It’s a crock.”

Let’s hope more of the protesters figure out that the whole occupy thing is a crock before they suffer the same fate as this poor woman. These are the people that want to collapse the system and take back the country. I don’t think I want to live in that country.

Amen! Newt says it all.

Charges of anti-Muslim discrimination at Catholic University in D.C. has presidential candidate Newt Gingrich up in arms.

“I look at the things that are going on in this country that make no sense to me,” he said to a crowd of about 250 South Carolinians gathered at a pig roast fundraiser organized by the Myrtle Beach Tea Party. “We now have a lawsuit apparently by some Muslim students at Catholic University who are offended being at a Catholic university. Now my first answer to them is ‘Fine, don’t go to a Catholic university.’”

His comments drew applause. Gingrich was referring to allegations that Catholic University of America is illegally discriminating against Muslim students by “denying them access to benefits that other student groups enjoy,” and, in particular, not providing space for daily prayers so that they have to pray in classrooms or campus chapels where they are surrounded by Catholic symbols. The charges are currently being reviewed by the District of Columbia Office of Human Rights.

I wonder how many Madrassas would hide the Koran, change their clothing, or take down images symbolic of Islam for a Christian student? Oh, never mind, Christians wouldn’t even be allowed to enroll for classes at a Muslim school.

And, the infiltration without assimilation continues, one little bit at a time. We may be behind the Brits in their “Muslim problem”, but we’re headed in the same direction.

When I saw this headline, I couldn’t believe Obama would cut funding to anything at the U.N. Then I read further and realized the U.S. government is required by law to cut funding if the Palestinians (aka Jordanians, Arabs, Iranians, Iraqis, etc. etc….given their own name so as to pretend they have some right to land in Israel) are given full membership in any U.N. body. Now, if we can just get a law on the books that completely cuts all funding to the worthless U.N. debate club, maybe we could actually pay down some of our national debt. We better wait a year for that law, though, or it will be wasted on Obama’s favorite solution for everything – more stimulus!

The United States will not pay $60 million to a U.N. cultural and educational agency after it voted Monday to accept the Palestinian mission as a full member, triggering a U.S. requirement to cut off funds.

“We are not going to be able to continue contributing to the budget,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. “Palestinian membership as a state in UNESCO triggers longstanding legislative restrictions which will compel the United States to refrain from making contributions to UNESCO.”

Washington is required by law to cut off funding to any U.N. agency if the Palestinian Liberation Organization is granted membership in any group at the international body.

Has anyone seen Congress lately, or is the government now run strictly by Executive Order? So much for coequal branches of government, and Congress holding the purse strings.

Acting once again without Congress, President Obama on Monday was directing the Food and Drug Administration to take steps to reduce drug shortages that administration officials say have placed patients at risk and led to price gouging.

The president signed an executive order — his fifth in a week — instructing the FDA to take action absent congressional approval.

More and more like a dictatorship every day.

A lesson in not sending your children to any U.S. or overseas “university indoctrination camps”. They will just come home with a lower IQ, and either spout Marxists or Socialists propaganda at you. Look at some of the pictures of the protesters with many thousands of dollars in student loans. It’s pretty obvious that a hard working kid just out of high school would have an easier time getting a job. Encourage your kids to get back to the trades. Nothing wrong with trade schools, and you’ll actually learn something other than how to bring about a violent revolution.

Words from the wise professor to the sheople occupying Wall Street:

Asked if the upcoming revolution can be non-violent, he parroted the party line of the demonstrators, who call themselves the 99 percent of Americans lined up against the “1 percent’’ with power and money.

He said violence could be avoided only if the “1 percent accept the decisions of the 99 percent,’’ which he predicted would never happen.

Basically, these professors want to make your children into Communists with the same violent philosophy as the Islamists. Hence, Iran’s fervent support for the little Marxist occupiers.

The professor is right about one thing, though. The 53% of us who actually pay taxes will never let them have their way.

The super committee, set up to find more ways to cut the budget, is being pressured by the Democrat members of the committee to include more stimulus spending as part of the final deal. Perhaps someone could take the democrats aside and explain to them the meaning of spending CUTS. All Democrats know how to do is spend the country into oblivion.

Democrats on the congressional supercommittee this week presented Republicans with a plan to cut the deficit that included billions of dollars in stimulus spending, aides told The Hill.

In a private meeting of the deficit panel Tuesday, Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.), chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, presented a proposal backed by a majority of Democrats on the panel that includes trillions of dollars in tax increases. The revenue would partially cover stimulus spending for the economy, aides said.

Hey, voters! Trillions of dollars in new taxes. Is this the hope and change you wanted?

You can tell the caliber of the mob in Zuccotti Park and elsewhere across the U.S., Canada, and Europe by the friends they attract. In addition to a growing number of hate filled antisemites, the mob is now being supported by Iranian students (many of them probably got their education in America) who are celebrating the American hostage crisis of 1979. The parents of these hippies must be so proud.

Some 2.5 million Iranian students are commemorating what they call a “National Day Against Global Arrogance” on November 4th by rallying in solidarity with the “oppressed and deprived” members of Occupy Wall Street. The day signifies the 1979 takeover of the former U.S. embassy in Tehran by Muslim students, who held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days.

Oh, the poor “oppressed and deprived” trust fund babies who CHOOSE to live like animals in a park. Hand me a tissue, the Marxist mob’s plight brings tears to my eyes. Not.

Interesting. The Vatican is calling for a global financial system and a global public authority in response to the financial crisis. Perhaps they should read Revelation and Ezekiel a little more closely. Of course, since they put little stock in the Bible and rely on Papal infallibility for their traditions, that might not help at all. Will they be calling for a global religion next? Interesting times.

The Vatican called on Monday for the establishment of a “global public authority” and a “central world bank” to rule over financial institutions that have become outdated and often ineffective in dealing fairly with crises. The document from the Vatican’s Justice and Peace department should please the “Occupy Wall Street” demonstrators and similar movements around the world who have protested against the economic downturn.

I wonder how Catholics feel about their supreme leader siding with the Occupy Wall Street crowd, which is also siding with the Communists and anarchists that have joined them? Next they’ll be nominating George Soros, the primary funder of the OWSies, to be the one global authority. Things are happening fast from a Biblical perspective.

Think I’m being a bit extreme in my interpretation of the Vatican’s comments? They’re also calling for a global “moral code”.

“The economic and financial crisis which the world is going through calls everyone, individuals and peoples, to examine in depth the principles and the cultural and moral values at the basis of social coexistence,” it said.

If it’s social, moral, and cultural coexistence they want, I guarantee the Muslim population isn’t going to go along, unless we’re all under Shariah Law. But, whatever it takes to have social and moral coexistence, right?

This picture says it all. A bunch of slobs itching for a war.

Liberals are all for “choice”, until it comes to their children. Then, they’re for indoctrination, and putting their children in danger. I cringe at the thought of these poor kids being subject to hippies having sex in the park, and throwing “F” bombs every chance they get. Is it any wonder our universities have such an easy time turning their children into anarchists and Marxists? If the children are the future, we’re in big trouble.

A group known as “Parents for Occupy Wall Street” organized a “kiddie” sleepover in Zuccotti Park this weekend, which brought young children into a highly politicized situation with serious safety concerns.

The organizer of the Occupy Parents’ group, Kirby Desmarais, told Mother Jones magazine that “the idea is to let parents have a voice in Occupy Wall Street, because normally they cannot be here and also be at home taking care of their families.”

Apparently some 68 families decided they were up for “braving chaos” and “endured cranks and street sweepers.”

But many people are asking question about this wisdom of bringing young children to spend the night in Zuccotti Park or attend protests.

Isn’t that Arab Spring just great? If Michelle and Barrack weren’t so busy worrying about our fat (while eating hamburgers at every eating establishment they pass on the campaign trail), maybe they could worry a bit about women’s rights in the ever increasing number of Shariah compliant countries.

The transitional government leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil set out a vision for the post-Gadhafi future with an Islamist tint, saying that Islamic Sharia law would be the “basic source” of legislation in the country and that existing laws that contradict the teachings of Islam would be nullified.

But, I thought the Arab Spring was about liberation and democracy?? I’m being sarcastic here.

Wow. We really won some friends and influenced people in Afghanistan. I’m not saying the war wasn’t justified after 9/11, but it’s a good lesson in not trusting Islamists. No matter what you do for them, they’ll still chant “death to America” and follow through on that sentiment when the chips are down.

Afghanistan would support Pakistan in case of military conflict between Pakistan and the United States, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in an interview to a private Pakistani TV channel broadcast on Saturday.

The remarks were in sharp contrast to recent tension between the two neighbors over cross-border raids, and Afghan accusations that Pakistan was involved in killing the chief Afghan peace envoy, former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani, by a suicide bomber on September 20.

Maybe the Occupy Wall Street mob should read a paper once in a while. They may get their wish of crashing Wall Street and the banks, but they’d be protesting the wrong country for the melt down.

A string of European bank collapses is dead ahead. And like the Arab Spring, they will trigger an economic disaster for American banks. Yes, coming soon says Martin Weiss in his “7 Major Advance Warnings,” which is “bound to have a life-changing impact on nearly all investors in the U.S. and around the globe.” His new Weiss Ratings warnings are the “most important” in a 40-year career. The stress on Wall Street banks will force them back to Congress for more bailouts. Warning eight: No new bailouts. That will push the economy into a deep recession.

The rest of the article is as nauseating as the B.O. factor in Zuccotti Park, so consider yourself warned if you read the whole article.

More “success” for the OWSies to celebrate: Another US Debt Downgrade Is Coming In Just A Few Weeks

Our President praised the, so called, “Arab Spring” as if it were a revolution of freedom and liberty for the Muslim people in the Middle East and beyond. Either he thinks Shariah Law and Islamic enslavement are a good idea, or he’s woefully misinformed 99% of the time. Perhaps both.

I wasn’t a big fan of George Bush’s economic policies, but at least he new what democracy was, and would have tried to spread true democracy, rather than encourage the takeover of Islamic governments by terrorist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood. If you’ve bought into the media’s spin regarding the MB, a little research should quickly change your mind. They are linked to several Islamic terrorist groups, most notably Al Qaeda. No wonder the current administration won’t even utter the words “War on Terror”, or Islam and terrorism in the same sentence. We’re entering scary times, folks.

Tunisians are electing a 217-seat assembly that will draft a constitution and appoint an interim government.

Former President Zinedine el-Abidine Ben Ali was overthrown nine months ago after mass demonstrations.

Islamist party Ennahda is expected to win the most votes, though it is not clear if it will gain a majority.

Mr Ben Ali fled Tunisia on 14 January amid the first of several mass uprisings across the Arab world.

Don’t believe the spin the MSM is peddling. The Islamist groups predicted to win a sizable influence in the government of Tunisia are NOT “moderates”. Hence the label “Islamists”.
