Chavez Wins 3rd Term in Venezuela Election

Majority in Venezuela Vote to Eat Minority

WORLD- Bill Collier

“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb having a vote about what to have for lunch”.

Venezuela’s election wasn’t even close. The progressive strong man, Hugo Chavez, handily defeated state governor Henrique Capriles 55 to 45 in the presidential election.

But WHY, when you consider the miserable state of Venezuela’s economy, the fact that Venezuela’s capital, Caracas, is the murder capital of the WORLD, and the fact that Chavez is a menace to individual political and economic freedom?

Nobody is claiming that the vote count was crooked. Chavez is, however, accused of spending the nation’s oil revenues on his campaign, including giving hand-outs to any group of people who will vote for him.

The progressive strong man offered more of the same- more state control over the economy, more socialist wealth redistribution, and less political and economic freedom for all. Despite this, if the vote count was accurately reported, 55% of the people elected to continue down the road to a state-controlled society.

This really does give meaning to the old phrase “democracy is two wolves and a lamb having a vote about what to have for lunch”. The majority vote to eat the minority, almost every time.

This is a fundamental flaw in “pure democracy”, especially with an under-educated populace and a media establishment that parrots only one party line….but enough about what’s happening in America, this is all about Venezuela.

Do the 55% who voted to eat the 45% really think that eating their producers, and shackling them with crippling regulations, is going to work out for ANYONE in the long term, do they really think that this model is NOT going to produce more tyranny, less freedom, more control, less opportunity, and, ultimately, chaos and poverty? They evidently cannot see past their own IMMEDIATE parochial interests.

The legitimate power of the state, as defined in an objective reading of the Bible, for instance, does not extend into the realms of the sacred, the social, and the market beyond keeping the peace.

Even many who do not embrace the Bible can surely agree that this standard is better than “government can do anything it wants, as long as some popular vote is behind the politicians who run the state”.

By this standard anything MOST people want is “legitimate”, even if what they want is your life, your liberty, and your property.

For the 45% who chose to move away from the progressive nanny state and towards greater freedom and opportunity, the future looks like this-the majority are going to continue to eat the whole until there’s nothing left for anyone.

Iran Nukes- The Real Target

Who Is REALLY Endangered By Iran Nukes- Surprising Answer

William Collier- World Intel Analysis- When my wife asked me “what would happen if Iran nuked Israel” it set off a series of question which left me with surprising answers.

I began to run down the scenarior of an Iranian nuclear attack on Israel and what I found was that there simply was no location where dropping a nuclear weapon on Israel favored the Iranian objectives. Anywhere such a weapon is dropped the resulting damage and fallout would severely hurt the Arab/Muslim populations nearby. Moreover, Jerusalem would be contaminated with radiation no matter where such a weapon was released in Israel.

Of course, that may not stop Iran’s psychopathic rulers from taking such an action, but it does pose an interesting question- if Israel is not really a viable target for Iranian nuclear weapons, WHO is?

It is clear that Iran IS building nuclear weapons. Anyone who doubts this is just not a serious, thinking person regarding world affairs.

If Israel is not the target directly, it is certainly the target of the nuclear program indirectly. There are targets that Iran would want to hit in order to isolate Israel and prepare the battlefield, as it were, for a more conventional attack. Iranian forces are already in Syria and are possibly moving into Lebanon.

Who then would be the target?

I propose two such targets- the straits of Hormuz or, more properly, the US and Allied naval forces there, and Europe itself.

The idea is to attack some strategic spot in Europe OR use the threat of a nuclear attack to compell the Europeans to sit on the sidelines in the case of a general Jihad against Israel. Never mind that European nations and their ally, the US, have the ability to respond in kind: the Iranian strategic concept is not based on the traditional calculus of a “winnable war”.

Iran’s leaders believe that their unleashing of a general war will bring out the “Mahdi”, a mythic figure who will come at the end of the ages to usher in a global Jihad culminating in a global Islamic caliphate. Their calculus is not based on a balance of forces that shows they would eventually have to lose, all they are concerned with is succesfully starting such a war that they believe this “Mahdi” will finish.

It is ironic that Israel is most determined to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon while Europe and US forces in the Middle East are more likely targets of such a weapon than Israel.

North Korea’s Newest Kim

Kim Jong Un Replaces Kim Jong Il- Hawkish 29 Year Old Rules North Korea

The portly, competitive, and self-absorbed heir of Kim Jong Il, who breathed his last on the 17^th or 18^th of December, is a son of privilege who went to private schools in Switzerland and who is known in many circles to be rather hawkish with regards to North Korea’s foreign policy. Kim Jong Un does not have the experience to lead a troop of window washers let alone a nation, but his petulant fingers will control North Korea’s nuclear weapons. (more…)

Reports- US Forces In Jordan

W R Collier Jr December 13, 2011

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.

Israel Prepares For War

W R Collier Jr November 3, 2011

Willia R Collier Jr.- On All Fronts Israel Faces Pan-Islamic Aggression– Even as the Israeli left gears up to demand hand-outs while opposing a strong defense against the Pan-Islamic aggression being aimed at Israel, the Prime Minister wants to prepare for a war for Israel's survival.

The main threat is coming from Iran, both in the form of its nuclear ambitions and its constant support for Pan-Islamic aggression through the Arab occupiers of Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem, and Gaza. These Arab occupiers want to forge another Pan-Islamic state on the carcass of a dismembered and shrunken Israel, stealing the lands of the Jews as they often do of their neighbors, including Egypt, Kurdistan, Lebanon, and Assyria.

Israeli preparations for war include, as we have already noted, possible sub-launched missile attacks, land-born missile attacks, and, potentially, material support for anti-regime forces in Iran. The Israeli cabinet, after a wrangling debate, authorized the use of force, including ground operations, against pan-Islamic rocket and mortar attacks emanating from Gaza. Recently, an Israeli man was killed in a rocket attacks while dozens of rockets have damaged property and caused minor injuries throughout the area around Gaza.

Meanwhile, as Jewish citizens seek to build homes on their own land, the Obama Administratoin, continuing to demonstrate its sympathies with the an-Islamic forces, railed against Israel calling new building in so-called "occupied" territory "unproductive". (NOTE: Judea and Samaria are considered to be "occupied" by Jews, when in fact the Arabs are the occupiers.)

The Obama Administration is seeking to suppress any Israeli counter-strike against Iran, despite Iran's efforts to become a nuclear power and despite its promises to "wipe Israel off the map." It is apparent that President Obama secretly harbors a deep-seated hatred of Israel and the Jewish people that he is afraid, if discovered, will result in a loss of support by the Jewish community who continue, despite the anti-Semitic nature of the Democrat Party, to support Democrats.

All signs have been pointing to a potential Israeli first strike, however the division of the Israeli polity by their leftist elements who are more concerned with hand-outs and who are willing to surrender Judea and Samaria in a bid to win peace (the "land for peace" agenda), is undermining the Government's efforts. Leftists are opposed to any pre-emptive strike fearing further retaliation by their Arab neighbors.
Even so, it is considered highly possible that the Israeli government which, despite the loud left, enjoy a majority support, will feel compelled to strike at Iran before it is too late.

Rumors abound that the US and the UK are pondering military action as well, however the latent anti-Semitism of the US President makes this highly improbable.
