A Day Of Infamy For The GOP Plantation Owners

Black Thursday- Will John Brown Ride Against The GOP Plantation Owners?

January 26, 2012 may become known as the beginning of the beginning of the end of the end of the establishment plantation’s hold over the freedom-seeking electorate. The freedom-seeking electorate (we call them “Freedomists”) understand and value life, the family, our Christian moral heritage, a fair and competitive free market, our Union of Popular and Democratic REPUBLICS, and a strong, prosperous, and free America that has achieved food, energy, and manufacturing independence.

On Thursday, January 26, 2012 the sky opened and, from the fonts of so-called “conservative media”, a barrage of outright lies, told in blazing sensational headlines, descended on one Newt Gingrich’s head. At one point the former conservative icon Matt Drudge had 14 such headlines scrawled all over his website, shocking people by its outright slanderous nature and blatant bias to help the establishment’s puppet, Mitt Romney.

The real issue is not this campaign, it is not about Romney or Gingrich or any one person; the real issue is the long night freedom-seekers have suffered as un-thanked and un-rewarded slaves on the establishment’s cleverly devised plantation. For the first time, all pretense is gone: the GOP as a plantation, true freedom-seekers as slaves, and the real plantation owners as well as their favorite “house slaves” were revealed against the clear backdrop of this ceaseless attack on someone that many (but no all) freedom-seekers saw as their BEST chance at freeing America from the Progressive freedom-takers.

Elliot Abrams led the attack with outright lies about Newt’s record as Speaker of the House: this once highly regarded man surrendered his reputation in service of the establishment agenda. He and the so-called “conservative” outlets who touted his bilge were exposed as house slaves.

Then there is the rallying of the “masters” to their puppet- the Bush family, Bob Dole, Karl Rove, all the top GOP “leaders”, and the like. This coterie of defenders showed the world that they were not happy with this slave uprising! They would treat Newt Gingrich like John Brown and teach the rest of us a lesson we’d never forget.

Finally, we saw who the slaves are: freedom-seekers who are expected to make defeating Obama so much of a priority that they give their money, time, resources and votes (the fruits of their labor out in the fields) to WHOMEVER the establishment picks as their new “boss”. The very notion that we, the slaves, could strike out on our own and urge our fellow Americans to stand behind our agenda, instead of just a person, is met with derision.

John Brown rose up in righteous indignation against the idea that some people could own other people, but it remains to be seen whether a “John Brown” freedom-seeker will rise up and lead the slaves off of the plantation, or even what that might look like. We can be certain that what happened on January 26, 2012, and what is ongoing, has the potential of igniting a slave rebellion that could be far more successful in the 21st century than John Brown’s failed attempt in the 19th century.

Rick Santorum endorses Arlen Specter AND Mitt Romney- Conservative Purity in Name Only Exposed

Rick Santorum South Carolina Primary Truth- Conservative Purity in Name Only exposed- the spectre of Specter- Paul Collier

Rick Santorum’s claims of being a true pure conservative, the only one in the field has fallen flat in the wake of his denial of Right to Work in legislation rejection after legislation rejection. It is shattered by his role in stoppiing the Bill Clinton impeachment proceedings in the Senate. It is finally destroyed by his endorsement of Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey in the 2004 GOP Primary. As Pat Toomey, a true conservative, was surging, Rick Santorumm came forward and not only endorsed Arlen Specter but actively and aggressively campaigned for the future democrat. Perhaps he wanted to have a right to work opponent keep his seat in the Senate (he needed another RINO bud?) or maybe he wanted to reward him for contributing to the Bill Clinton love-fest that was the Lott-Santorum sabotage of that proceeding. Either way, it wasn’t the first time he endorsed Specter- he also endorsed Arlen Specter early in his 1996 Presidential run, a clear indication of the conservative purity of Rick Santorum, at least his version of conservative purity. The irony of his endorsement of Mitt Romeny in 2008 cannot be ignored.

Here are some excerpts from the 2004 betrayal of conservative purity by Rick Santorum, followed by his 1996 betrayal, and finally his 2008 betrayal of Conservative Purity when he actuallly endorsed…MITT ROMNEY!

Ron Paul told Jay Leno that Rick Santorum hates Muslims, that Michelle Bachman hates Muslims, and that Rick Perry hates Muslims and homosexuals. So, according to this thinking, every effort to fight Islamic extremist violence and terrorism or imperialism, such as Iran’s imperial ambitions, can be chalked up to a conspiracy by his opponents in the primary race based on hatred for Muslims.

Reports- US Forces In Jordan

US Troops Reported In Jordan

We are seeing numerous unconfirmed reports that US forces are inside of Jordan at this hour, but their intentions and their planned length of stay is not known.

While some reports claim that US forces are deployed opposite of the Syrian border with Jordan to forestall Syrian forays into the Hashemite Kingdom, other possibilities are far less ominous.

When the US went to war against Iraq, American forces transited through Jordan from Aqaba and some deployed to help with Iraqi refugees.

This may be what is happening now US forces may be transiting in reverse, from Iraq via Jordan to the port of Aqaba. Additionally, US forces may be helping with Syrian refugees.

If, however, US forces have deployed to Jordan to defend against a possible Syrian incursion, this would violate the spirit and letter of the War Powers act, placing US forces in potential combat zones without even a nod towards Congress. This would prove controversial in the extreme, especially in today’s political climate.

If US forces have deployed from Iraq to Jordan to stave off a potential Syrian move it would most likely be the result of some form of substantiated intelligence. The Syrian regime is still smarting over an incursion of Syrian protestors into Jordan who attacked their embassy in Amman and may also be targeting refugees with operatives who infiltrate the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan. The threat, therefore, may be more covert than overt and merely having US forces “pause” en route to Aqaba could be enough.

Other possibilities, however, include a potential positioning of forces for a new Libya-like intervention should the opposition in Syria materialize into a cohesive force that can take and hold territory. The “no-fly zone” approach has been used with telling effect against Serbia, Saddam Hussein, and Qhadafi. US ground forces would prevent an incursion into Jordan and could even protect Iraq, whose government is alarmed at the possibility of being flooded with Syrian refugees.

The transiting of US troops out of Iraq through Jordan makes perfect sense however it is possible that this could be a good cover for other purposes as well.

Occupiers Target US Ports- Progressive Socialist Sedition Targets THE END OF AMERICA

Socialist Occupiers Wage War On America- Bill Collier- Radical Progressive anti-capitalists are targeting US ports on the west coast with street actions in the hope of provoking a police response and creating unsafe working conditions which the Unions can use as an excuse to stop work in the ports. The Occupiers, who want to implement a Soviet-style one-party state in America, are backed by radicalized front groups, like the local teacher’s union in Oakland, California, in their bid to replace capitalism with state-controlled economic planning.

Ports along the west coast are bracing for a promised onslaught of Progressive socialist sedition which many fear will lead to violence. The Occupiers have engaged in violence in cities throughout America leading to injuries of law enforcement officers and even rapes and murders within their illegal encampments. The socialist sedition, if successful, would plunge the US into a massive depression, which could turn out millions of angry workers who the Progressive socialist Occupiers believe they can then recruit for their world-wide socialist revolution.

The agenda of the Progressive socialist agitators is to impose a “sexual liberation” that distracts people from the loss of their far more important economic, cultural, religious, and political freedoms as they impose a Soviet style one-party state once they have seized power. The Occupiers, unlike the Progressives in the Democratic party, favor immediate revolution while the Democrats favor a slow-motion “revolution by subversion”. As more and more Americans are waking up to the reality of, and getting angry about, this radical anti-freedom agenda the Occupiers are looking for a way to quickly finish their revolution before the Progressives lose even more ground during the next election cycle.

The Occupiers are using the rhetoric of populism, much as many authoritarian regimes in the past and present have (including the Mullahs of Iran, Hugo Chavez, Lenin, Franco of Spain, Mao, and even Hitler’s “National Socialist German Worker’s Party”). Their proposal for solving “injustice” by “corporations” is to totally transfer power away from the corporations to the state, under the guise that they are transferring power to “the People.”

The waging of economic war against these United States is an act of sedition, however, the present American Administration is not likely to label this sedition as such because the Democratic Party is actively seeking to co-opt or channel the radical energy of the Occupiers into support for Democratic candidates during 2012, a fact that this front party for American radical Progressive socialists seems to want to conceal from the majority of voters who reject the socialist ideology which is at the heart of Progressivism.

The emergence of a true Worker’s Freedom Movement which stands up for the rights and interests of workers, as well as their values and beliefs, without compromising our national commitment to a free market and a constitutionally limited form of self-government, is the only viable alternative to Unions that have become purely ideological, in favor of state-control over the economy in the NAME of the workers, and which reflect the corrupt moral depravity of a small minority of God-hating, America-hating secular humanists who seek to impose an atheistic, amoral lifestyle on America (beginning with our children) while forcing any kind of morality that has a religious genesis into the “closet”.

The Occupiers wish to recolonize America with a caesaristic old-world ideology of state-control over the economy that gives people “sexual freedom” at the expense of REAL freedom. Their waging of economic war on America’s ports is not likely to be responded to in a proportional manner, with under-armed and under-staffed police forces being sent against groups of seditionists who want to destroy America itself as part of their ideology for a world-wide socialist revolution.

Some of the Unions, however, may be seeing in this effort a really bad “jump the shark” moment which, far from shutting down ports and winning more powers for the state-controlled economy, will only harden public sentiment against Progressivism, hurt Democrats at the polls, and cause their members to be out of work, and this all for little real gain.

Regardless of the outcome, the Occupiers are determined that NOW is the time to implement a Progressive socialist revolution and destroy America as a union of popular and democratic republics while creating, in its place, a union of soviet socialist “republics” with Washington DC as the national capital and planning center for the state-controlled economy.

State Senate Race In Illinois Garners National Attention- Lennie Jarratt

 

In the 31st State Senate District in Illinois Lennie Jarratt’s bid to be the new State Senator is getting national attention among rank and file conservative activists. Jarratt, a long-time proven fighter for conservative causes and values, has won the admiration and support of many of his peers as a faithful defender of freedom for all against the encroachment of big brother government.

Jarrat’s own story in private and public employment as well as in his own business, providing web design services, is a typical American story these days- an honest, hard-working citizen whose greatest obstacles seem to be the big brother government policies coming from Washington DC and Springfield Illinois. When Jarratt learned that his bank would get more money, thanks to government policies, to foreclose on him after an 11 month period of unemployment than to settle with him, his thoughts turned to the thousands of other citizens in Illinois who were probably facing the same problem, with NO help or support from their elected officials.

Jarrat’s campaign motto is “Supporting Families, Not Government” and this sets the tone for his whole campaign, a campaign that has been endorsed by Illinois Conservatives and is lauded on many national conservative blogs and websites.

Some of Jarratt’s stances include:

Pro Family

The family is the basic unit of our society and it must be preserved. Income tax hikes, property tax hikes and the continual raising of fees are sapping the hard earned money from the families and businesses of Illinois.

Property Taxes

Lake County has the highest property taxes in the Midwest and the 14th highest in the country according to Forbes magazine. Budgets are shrinking, yet taxing bodies never stop increasing these taxes. Families should not be squeezed any more. It is time to restore fiscal sanity to Springfield and reform this state sanctioned local tax.

Income Taxes

Illinois is currently is in the 48th worst financial position*. The 66% tax increase on individuals and 45% increase on the companies that drive our economy caused unemployment to rise to 10%.

Foreclosures

1 in 295 Lake County homes received foreclosure filings in September. In October, the rate climbed to 1 in 271. There are over 2500 active cases in the courts here in Lake County, of which mine is one. I too am living the reality of bad tax and spend policies destroying the jobs families rely on.

Education

Education is the key to the future. All children deserve access to a quality education to unlock their door to excel. We need to empower parents to be able to better direct their child’s education, be it public school, private school, charter school, home school, or other alternatives. The parents know their child best.

Honest Government

Every citizen has the right to expect open and honest government. We should never have to pay a corruption tax as the price of government graft and back room dealings.

Pro 2nd Amendment

It’s simple, the right to bear arms is enshrined in our Constitution and it should not be infringed upon.

Aside from his stance on particular issues, the Freedomist has found him to be capable, credible, honest, a man of his word, and consistently reliable. Often people give lip service to these things, make great promises, do little, and THEN insist on getting credit and glory for things they did not actually do! Lennie has often done more than he says he will while often letting others “get the glory” who did much less, and that without complaint.

But while Jarratt may have earned a good reputation, which explains some of the interest in his candidacy among national activists, there are other reasons for this interest.

Jarrat’s district, the 31st State Senate District, is in the region of northern Chicago and many conservatives believe that a Jarratt win here would prove that running on a conservative platform is in fact a “mainstream” value, contrary to the Karl Roves of the GOP who insist that one has to be center-left (what they call “moderate” or even “independent”) to win elections.

These two schools of thought, one that says that candidates can run on conservative values and win voters over and the other that assumes the media’s view of “mainstream” is the right view that candidates need to conform to, are looking at the 31st State Senate District as a bell-weather for the validity of their approach.

While polls have not been conducted in the district, Jarrat’s involvement in helping dozens of local conservative candidates win elections over the past 4 years seems to indicate that creating a solid “ground game” will not be a problem for his campaign, even if his financial war chest is not on par with the establishment candidates GOP progressives will run against him.

That being said, more and more conservative activists are going to http://www.lenniejarratt.com/donate/ to donate “$20.11” to help Jarrat’s campaign round out 2011 with a god-sized financial war chest.

What Motivates Mitt Romney?

By Bill Collier- Mitt Romney desperately wants to be President but WHY?

Often people who want to be President are motivated in one of four ways- they are on a power-mad ego trip, they are inspired by a cause or ideology, they have a hidden agenda, or they are being propped up as a front-person for hidden forces.

When considering a candidate one always looks for one of, or a combination of, these four motives. With our current President, whose behavior comes across to some as rather Quisling and Ahab-like, betraying America’s core values and discarding morality and ethics, it appears that he may be a front-man for hidden forces and he has a hidden agenda but that he is also on a power-mad ego trip.

President Obama’s conceited tendency to couch everything he does as “good for America” while attacking all who disagree as “putting politics ahead of the country” may in fact be a classic Freudian slip. The reality is that President Obama is doing what he thinks is best for his ideology, for his allies, and for his globalist/progressive agenda, even if that is, objectively speaking, bad for America’s economy, culture, or security.

So what is Romney’s core motivation?

Prior to 2007 he was worse than a “RINO”, he was an outright Progressive! He implemented socialized medicine in his state, he acquiesced on gay marriage, he was staunchly pro-abortion, and was generally in tune with all of Progressivism’s tenets. His Mormon faith might have informed him for all those years that he was a member of one church that his values were skewed, but when it came to politics Romney checked his faith at the door.

To this day, Romney does not deny that global warming is man-made, a “fact” that most freedom-minded people are highly suspicious of because this claim usually precedes a call for radical government control over people’s lives.

Now Romney is claiming to have had a change of heart, but since 2007 Romney has scrupulously avoided wading into any controversy and when fellow-conservatives have been attacked he has stayed on the sidelines. When people like Bachman and Palin were going after egregious offenses by the progressives in power all these past 4 years since Romney’s “conversion”, the “former” Progressive said and did nothing.

All through the past four years Romney has not taken any stands for any conservative cause or issue, unless it would help his campaign, and he has not helped any candidate, as his rivals have all done. If Romney hasn’t made any gaffs or foolish choices in the past four years it is because he has never taken any leadership role for any candidate, cause, or issue not directly related to his own campaign.

While his opponents were publicly exclaiming against progressive policies like cap and trade, stimulus bailouts, gay marriage, and more, Romney was quietly but earnestly raising money with insider fact-cats and staying mute!

Those who question Romney’s “conversion” can rightfully ask “what price has Romney ever been willing to pay for a principled stand?” His career has always been characterized as one big “conflict avoidance” journey. Did he take a principled stand in business, as governor, or as a candidate that actually cost him something personal?

One can hardly see a man whose political training occurred in an extremely progressive-dominated state, where one’s choices were moderate progressivism versus radical progressivism, to NOT fall back on those habits if he is ever in power again.

Romney’s behavior is very Progressive. He won’t debate if Donald Trump moderates, but he’s happy to have the journolist media moderate a debate. He mischaracterize his opponent’s stances and vilifies them through proxies, with media complicity, but he won’t admit when he is caught red-handed changing his tune on his socialized medicine scheme’s similarity with ObamaCare.

Romney’s attacks on Gingrich may in fact be backfiring, if one reads conservative blogs right:

Romney brings out big guns, shoots self in foot (Romney imploding) 
Legal Insurrection ^ | 12/8/2011 | William Jacobson 

Posted on Thu Dec 08 2011 14:06:28 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time) by Lakeshark

Romney is losing it. His coordinated assault on Newt does not make the case for Romney.

And it’s embarrassing. Romney brought out former Congressman and former Senator Jim Talent to bash Newt’s leadership as Speaker. Talent forgets that the internet has a long memory, and that Talent supported Newt for Speaker of the House even after the issues Talent now complains about were raised:

Old Quote from Talent: Allegiance comes from Rep. Jim Talent, R-Mo., who says, “I intend to support the speaker”

 

As I mentioned last night, bringing John Sununu to the rescue just reminds us of the appointment of David Souter and the breaking of George H.W. Bush’s “no new taxes” pledge, in both of which Sununu played an instrumental role as Chief of Staff.

—————————

It would seem that Romney, while he is no Obama, is a moderate progressive who has a hidden agenda that he conceals behind his new-found conservative rhetoric. It would also seem that for Romney the real motive is power while he is being propped up financially by the insider Republican progressives.

What is also clear is that when it comes to the issues and values of GOP primary voters Romney has not ever been willing to pay any price to stand up for them.

Silent Coup In Pakistan- Islamists Seize Power In Pakistan

Pakistan’s President, Asif Ali Zardari, may have already been “deposed” in a silent coup by Islamist insiders with the backing of the ISI, Pakistan’s intelligence service which is notoriously pro-Islamist in its agenda. While Zardari is off to Dubai for what could be anything from a routine check-up to a life-threatening heart condition, it is becoming obvious in many circles that the real power in Islamabad is in the hands of a coterie of ultra-Islamist insiders.

The “silent coup” is being orchestrated behind the scenes in a series of seemingly innocuous moves, right under the nose of US intelligence assets which are hamstrung by directives from the White House which are focusing more on placating Pakistani sensibilities than spying on their inner workings and shifting motives.

Fears of an Islamist coup to take over Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, which are resulting in what some see as an over-the-top policy of appeasement in the face of countless Pakistani provocations, may have already been realized in what may now be a bigger intelligence failure than the failure to detect the coming of the 911 attacks by Islamist forces. The whole effort to prevent a coup by a policy of overlooking countless Pakistani offenses may already have met with failure and, even now, Islamist forces may have access to nuclear weapons.

Regardless of the status of the Pakistani President, or the real reasons for his ailment and his departure to Dubai, the Islamist forces that run the ISI now appear to be on the ascent in all branches of the Pakistani government, from the Presidential palace to the military.

The basic business model is to provide local businesses with a low-cost, highly effective marketing resource that will effectively encourage local readers to “buy local first” as part of a freedom building initiative for the whole community.

Local businesses and organizations will have access to a whole range of services, including a free advertising cooperative, a $65 per month local business directory, display ads online and in print, video ads, SEO marketing, content marketing, and more.

This local digital-to-print local “newspaper’ is expected to appeal to a wide range of local readers who need local news and/or who want news from  pro-freedom perspective. With a local population of over 12,000 in the greater Blossburg PA region, which includes Arnot, Liberty, and Morris Run as well as neighboring townships, it is expected that daily readers will exceed 3,000-4,000 local readers.

Kross Publishing has been involved in local newspaper operations in multiple locations around the United States, from New Mexico and Texas to Pennsylvania, and will be utilizing its expertise and a proven formula for success in this local effrt.

The Blossburg Freedomist will be the first in a series of local versions of the Freedomist which will be licensed, conditional franchises operated by LOCAL editors who will be trained in the Freedomist news model.

Schoolchildren Frozen To Save The Planet?

Global Warming Radical Freezes Schoolchildren
Bill Collier

Meet Bob Benzie of Ansford, England’s secondary school. He’s the “headmaster” or principal, and he has a plan to save the planet, it’s a plan that is leaving everyone out in the cold, or IN in the cold.
Benzie took it upon himself to turn off his school’s heating system on what turned out to be the coldest day of the year so far, which was near freezing at 34°F. This left everyone, staff and student included, to fend for themselves with as many layers of clothing as they could manage to put on.
Students and teachers complained that work was impeded because the only way to stay warm was to wear gloves, through which it was impossible to write or type on a keyboard.
While the global warming radical deemed the event a “success” and claimed that parents and students had been warned about the event and that the only complaint came from a staff member who, “in the end got on with it”, in other words, according to Benzie, everyone was fine.
But parents aren’t fine. Many children came home still shivering and some near hyperthermia. Long-term exposure to cold for more than 4 hours is especially unhealthy for children increasing the risk of sickness, especially colds and flu, and of hypothermia.
In the US, turning off the heat in a school would run afoul of the law on two counts- reckless endangerment of children and unsafe working conditions. It is common in the US for schools to close when their heating system is not working properly.
HVAC experts recommend that large buildings with older heating systems maintain a steady temperature rather than turning off the heat, even when nobody is in the building, because it takes more energy, and is harder on the heating system, to restore a cold building’s temperature than to maintain a decent temperature throughout the whole day, even during times when nobody is in the building. What Benzie has done may in fact result in more fuel being consumed while putting much more war and tear on the school’s heating systems.
Far from reducing the school’s carbon footprint, Benzie may have actually frozen a school full of 640 children while INCREASING the school’s “carbon footprint.”
Benzie’s plan was meant to help “save the planet” from the bogeyman of “man-made global warming”, but with that thesis in question and, regardless of that thesis, with the known very real health risks to children for long-term exposure to the cold, many whether Benzie is qualified to be the headmaster of ANY school of any type.
Benzie passed the blame for the unhealthy idea on to a small group of students from the eco-class who came up with the plan.
To make matters worse, the global warming radical promises to hold more such cold-days (”eco-days”) during the next semester in order, he says, to “reduce our carbon footprint.”

The War On Iranian Nukes Gains Momentum

Covert War Against Iran Catches Media’s Eyes- Iran’s Options For Response Are Dwindling
William R. Collier Jr.

The media are finally covering something that Freedomist has covered for two years, the ongoing covert war against Iran. This war has consisted of cyber attacks, assassinations, and mysterious “blasts” as well as covert support for anti-regime forces.

Before we dive in with our analysis, we need to report on the US drone that Iran may have gained possession of and which it claims it shot down. We believe the Iranians, if they have possession of an RQ-170 US drone, have been given a drone that the Taliban captured in Afghanistan. We do not believe the US is actively engaged in Iran.

The famous “Stuxnet” attack was a cyber attack we assessed originated in Israel back on 2009, which caused industrial accidents at uranium enrichment facilities. During 2009 Freedomist was involved in our own “cyber engagement” with the Iranian government in support of the freedom advocates during the 2009 uprisings which President Obama utterly failed to support.

Assassinations against key Iranian scientists and even a few generals in their Revolutionary Guards appear to be conducted by anti-regime forces with the support of Israel and possibly Western powers. These assassinations have deteriorated Iran’s brain trust and they have frightened outside experts who might otherwise have made themselves available to the Iranians.

Of note, many Russian advisers are reported to have fled the country not only for fear of assassination but also because of the growing paranoia of the Iranians who suspect everyone of being a spy. Iranian fear of spies, infiltrators, and saboteurs has slowed their progress and made practical sharing of ideas and normal communication more and more difficult.

The “mysterious blasts” being reported at key Iranian facilities, especially the uranium enrichment and processing sites, have been ongoing for 2 years, with reporting by Freedomist always pointing to outside sources or anti-regime forces with primarily Israeli assistance. These blasts have been more extensive than the media have even reported and can be counted in the dozens over the past two years.

Iran’s claim to have captured a US R-170 drone, an advanced stealth design, which was most likely captured by the Taliban and shipped to Iran, may be an effort to expose the covert war, implicate the US, and justify some form of retaliation, including acts of terrorism.

Iran’s options, however, may be limited.

While the Islamists in Egypt appear to be doing well at the ballot box, the military may have little stomach for turning Egypt into an Islamist state. The possibility of Egypt discarding the Cam David accords could also open up the possibility of an Israeli incursion into the Sinai peninsula which Israel surrendered to Egypt in return for a peace treaty, a possibility that is more real than most analysts predict.

Aside from Egypt, which may become Islamist, events in Lebanon and Syria do not favor Iran.

In Lebanon the nations seems to have gown sick of both Syria and Hezbollah and increasing demands to end the tolerance for an armed Hezbollah are being backed up with threats by Sunni, Druze, and Christian Phalange groups re-arming for battle against the Islamists. Some think that these groups are already arming with Israel once again helping the Christians and the Druze.

In Syria, it appears that US and Israeli resources are flowing to opposition forces who are arming against the regime. Some attacks have already occurred and various ethnic groups also appear to be preparing for a civil war. This has been a huge distraction for the Assad regime, Iran’s ally, and has also lessened Syrian material for Hezbollah.

The fact that a serious Hezbollah attack on Israel has not occurred may in fact reveal that such an attack is untenable. It would have to happen under the noses of an armed UN mission and it might cause Lebanese forces, both official and unofficial, to turn on Hezbollah. This does not mean that Hezbollah can’t or won’t attack, but it does mean that such an attack might be resisted from within Lebanon itself.

Iran’s options, as the Freedomist has already noted, are dwindling as the pro-Islamic forces face increasing popular resistance. Their excesses are outraging many and even in places where they might enjoy a majority support, a significant minority who feel an existential threat may be compelled to offer armed resistance. Even the native Egyptians, the Copts, may end over 1400 years of accommodation with the Arab occupiers and go over to armed resistance, even if this is an unlikely possibility.

The pendulum is swinging against Iran and unless Iran takes radical and decisive action soon, it may be too late.

The covert war against Iran’s mullahs will continue, no doubt expanding to regime assets, possibly command and control and key personalities, and actions against Iran’s allies, Hezbollah and Syria, will continue to degrade Iran’s ability to respond.

The covert war is not likely to let up, unless Iran takes overt action that escalates matters to an open shooting war, which is increasingly possible as Iran’s ability to indirectly attack its chief enemy, Israel, decreases.

The Russian Bear Emerges From Its Slumber

Vladimir’s Third Reich Looms- West Unprepared

Vladimir Putin’s “United Russia” Party is soon going to secure a majority in the Russian Duma making him the new prime minister and virtual emperor over a reborn Russian reich, the third iteration, that might just rival the German version in terms of its evil potential and intent.

The third Russian reich, or empire, is going to be crafted, says Putin, on a policy of aggressive anti-Americanism, hegemony over central Asia, and leveraging Russian energy supplies to Europe to stifle and then roll back NATO expansion. The former Soviet satellites and conquered states within the old USSR had better stand up and take notice.

Obama’s much trumpeted “Salt 2″ treaty with Russia is set to be the first casualty, Putin wants more US concessions regarding missile defense, despite adding more dangerous missiles to Kalliningrad (“Konigsburg” the capital of occupied East Prussia), or he will renounce the treaty. Some security experts would be glad to see the US unshackled from the loathsome, one-sided treaty.

Russia itself is swimming in money, thanks to a US anti-energy-at-home policy which not only makes the US dependent on foreign oil and drives up the overall price, but with increased demand on energy from Russia by Europe puts untold BILLIONS in Euors and Dollars in the Kremlin’s coffers and gives the Russians a tremendous influence.

Russian has used that influence, often in league with China, to bolster the world’s bad actors whenever they resist the US or the West, such as Syria, Iran, and North Korea. Even as war looms in the Middle East, Russia and China are talking about an attack on the Iranian regime’s nuclear weapons program as an “act of war” which THEY might respond to.

The Russian lust for power, not unlike the German lust for power, remains unquenched and is deeply imbedded in the psyche of the People. Unlike the Germans, who seem to be conquering Europe with the Euro as their weapon, Russia is looking to more martial means. On that score, Putin has announced a dramatic increased in defense spending.

Over the past 3 years or so, Russia has been modernizing key military units, investing in equipment and training at a level per unit that far exceeds Soviet era standards, giving Russia a solid, modern, and well trained core of professionals around which an expanded force can be built.

This will all, it would seem, take time, depending on how fast Putin moves, how long the US lets the world energy market spin out of control as energy in the US remains untapped, and depending on how long the US ignores or even caves in to Russian saber rattling.

Obama Hoisted On His Own Petard

Will Occupiers Turn On Their Master?
Progressives’ Manufactured “Revolutions” Backfires

When shadowy bigwigs want to take down a popular resistance movement, like the Tea Party, they usually sponsor their own mob to fling at the opposition. The problem with flinging mobs at your enemy is that mobs can see their former sponsors as their enemy and turn on them.

On the northwest corner of 53rd Street and 7th Avenue, in view of the Sheraton hotel in New York City, a groups of 100 or so ultra progressive extremists who want a socialist worker’s paradise NOW started an “action” that President Obama may have been surprised by.

As the progressive President arrived at around 9 PM the uber-radical vanguard his team thought might reinvigorate his base like the Tea Party did for the other side turned its guns on him. Signs proclaimed:

Obama Is A Corporate Puppet
Sold Out
War Crimes Need Persecuting, No Matter Who Does Them

One of the organizers lamented that Obama was going to get money from “the richest of the rich.”

Obama’s visit to New York has been marked by controversies and irony. He allegedly came to New York for the lighting of the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Plaza, but he is snarling traffic on  an epic scale to attend numerous fundraisers for extremely wealthy donors. Rudi Guilliani criticized Obama’s segway from nice public event to money-grubbing politicking.

The irony of this was not lost on the Occupiers- little people’s lives were severely inconvenienced so that Obama could get big bucks from the very same wealthy people both he and the Occupiers were vilifying.

It’s not certain that the whole movement, largely “sponsored” by legacy, but often covert, radical progressive organizations will turn completely on its master and become a source of trouble from Obama’s left flank, but the first signs of potentially losing control of the mob they sought to fling against the Tea Party may have already emerged.

Britain’s Public Workers Strike Despite Poor Economy

While most Britons struggle under an economy that is seeing private sector jobs and waged shrink, the 2 million public workers are striking.

Everything from courts, schools, hospitals, and most government offices are facing closure or reduced services as the progressive unions are scheduling over 1,000 demonstrations to demand that, while the rest of Britain tightens its belt the elite class of public workers continue to enjoy their high wages, taxpayer funded generous pensions, and easy working conditions.

Hardest hit will be people seeking healthcare or those suffering medical emergencies. All operations other than life-saving operations are cancelled and ambulances are only available for “life-threatening” emergencies. The problem of course is that nobody can tell if a cancelled operation for a non-life threatening illness won’t lead to a life-threatening or a seemingly non-life threatening emergency really won’t devolve quickly into a fatality.

Most of Britain’s schools will also be closed and all save a few notorious court cases will be suspended.

The public workers want to continue high wages, liberal working conditions, and free pension benefits at public expense despite the fact that meeting their demands might bankrupt the nation.

The strike is expected to do serious harm to Britain’s fragile economy, but the public workers have made themselves the highest priority instead of the nation they allegedly serve.

Is The West, Israel ALREADY At War With Iran?

A series of mysterious explosions at key Iranian sites linked to their covert nuclear weapons program has may wondering if Israel and/or the West are already attacking the Iranian war machine in dribs and drabs.

If indeed they are it’s a fact the Islamic state does not want to acknowledge, with efforts by local citizens in Isfahan, one of the key sites, to find out the source of two large explosions in two weeks meeting a stonewall of official denial.

Satelite images of the targeted sites reveal large-scale destruction, beyond a mere “accidental misfire”, as some have posited. What could be intertpreted as an impact crater in the center of one site with nearby buildings being levelled. The hole thus gouged into the earth could also indicate a “bunker busting” munition or a bomb placed deep underground.

Meanwhile Iran is moving its own chess peices on the board, orchestrating a storming of the British Embassy (which failed to acheive the goal of taking hostages thanks to quick reactions by the staff) and now orchestrating a not-so-subtle probing attack on Israel from Lebanon.

The attack on Israel consisted of a few rockets being launched into Galilee, which did no damage. This attack may have been a precursor attack to something bigger which was designed to allow the shooters to get their range.

Iran, meanwhile, is facing a growing likelihood of losing its chief ally, Syria, as what amounts to a civil war seems to be developing in the country. The Arab league has condemned and cut off the Assad regime and Turkey has joined in imposing sanctions. Russia and China, however, remain loyal to Syria and Iran as a counter to the United States, whom they view as their enemy.

Incidents in what may be a slow-motion attack on Iran include over 6 bomb blasts, targeted killings of key Iranian scientists, and a massive and ongoing cyber attack, all designed to slow, contain, and then destroy the Iranian nuclear weapons program without provoking an all out war.

Occupiers Ousted- Wearing Thin On Sympathetic Mayors

They want to like them, these progressive mayors, but as the general public gets to see, and smell, these “Occupiers, mayors who want to keep their job can’t stomach the progressive tools any longer.

Whil Richmond VA has the gall to audit the Tea Party for pointing out that progressive mayor’s double standard (the mayor charged Occupiers nothing but made the Tea Party pay to use public space), overnight the mayors of Philadelphia and Los Angeles sent swarms of cops in to evict their Occupiers.

In both cases police came in after midnight and declared that the Occupiers had 10 minutes to get out. Scuffles and Occupier violence against police ensued, and operations seem to have been wrapping up as of this writing.

The Occupy movement are dominated by progressive fringe groups, among whom are the Communist Party, and are backed by the Unions as well as President Obama. They seek a Marxist wealth redistribution scheme and an end to America as we know it, all in the name of so-called “social justice.”

In LA, over 250 tents occupied public space in front of City Hall, denying use of that space to all save the Marxist activists, while the camp in Philadelphia was smaller. In both cases, the city tried to cooperate with the Occupiers, mainly because the mayors are both closet Marxists themselves, but the public outcry against their behavior was becoming too much, and now the Ocupier’s allies have turned on them.
