Bombs Feed People

It’s an economic miracle. It’s crazy it’s hysterical.


But that’s just what they do. In the United States at any rate. They're probably not doing anybody else much good however.


Yes, the same munitions that kill the “enemy” also provides a good living for the designers, builders and the people who pull the trigger. It’s a vital part of the American economy to manufacture, sell and distribute the most effective killers of men the world has hitherto ever known.


And the money the bomb makers receive goes into employing painters, carpenters and landscapers for their houses and teachers, bus drivers and soccer coaches for their children.


And with our perennial military proving ground we casually refer to as The Middle East, we can be assured that American arms are the very best battle tested and effective arms. Years of Research & Development went into bringing you that...you name it, we build it. We build the best so we can sell the best. It’s what we do.


The United States sells almost twice as much as second place Russia in the armaments race. Heck, we’re such good salesmen, we’ll even arm the opposition so that they can put up a better fight. But in the end it’s all just a game to us since we can end it all with just a push of a button if we were really pushed to do so. But it doesn’t pay to end a war. The weapons aren’t an end to themselves. Weapons need targets.


Yes, what good is buying weapons and letting them sit? You won’t be buying any more unless you use up the supply you already have, right?


Of course!


So what we need are enemies. Without enemies, how can you use your weapons? You don’t have a gun? How are you going to shoot people if you don’t have a gun?  Here, try a free sample…on us.


What are you going to do, let ISIL get you? Look what they do to people? Here, watch this video of them throwing people with their hands tied behind their backs off of a two story building. How would you like that? Ok, how many can shoulder fired rockets can I put you down for? You want CS gas with that? Great! You are very kind. I thank you, Northrop and Raytheon corporation thanks you and the American municians manufacturers thank you.


We also need “evil empires” to scare the voters back home into allocating the funds to keep the spigot on and the munition factories moving to crank out the very latest in weapons.


A good example is ISIL. We knew the Iraqis were going to drop everything and run for their lives in the face of an ISIL onslaught. It’s how we trained them. So it was  in this fashion we managed to get the weapons to ISIL without anyone thinking we were betraying the nation. Now ISIL is a force to be reckoned with and now we can sell the “good guys” the higher end equipment to beat them.


"Our representatives are ready to take your call! You know ISIL has US tanks now so you'll need an entire TOW missile system setup. What, are you sure? Well, it's YOUR funeral. Yess they aren't cheap but don't worry, we can fit it into your budget. Have I mentioned our payment plan? I'll put you down for two."


And back home it looks like Congress is ready to print up more money to pay for all of this military spending. After all, we can’t win against terror without these crucial building projects, right?


Let’s hope that we will finally vanquish the Muslim Hoards that are on the move though the Middle East and Europe. But not too quickly, we don’t want to queer the deal, do we?


It’s a living.

United States of Obama on Wrong Side of Syrian Conflict.


Can the Obama Regime get it any more wrong?  President Obama is blaming everyone but himself for the debacle that has become the U.S. Middle East policy.

Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted. Millions more borrowed and printed, squandered and every group with a name that can be abbreviated, armed.

And THEY think Assad is the madman.

Guess again. At least Assad isn’t delusional.

With all the shenanigan's the U.S. has pulled in the Middle East over the last 14 years, never wanting to actually win the conflict but only using the situation to sell armaments to all sides and to write extensive big money contracts to connected contractors, is there any surprise at the vacuum of leadership in the area. 

So Vladimir Putin and Russia have now taken the initiative in Syria and are garnering more support in the Middle East and with Israel. And what does Israel have to lose? The Obama Regime has become it’s second worst enemy after Iran. Why wouldn’t they invite Russia to dinner?

Now distance is starting to really make a difference in this situation. Russia is right next door and the United States might as well be on the Moon. With their lack of presence and even worse, their lack of credibility, the United States has proven to be an ineffectual ally. Who wants us to help them now? Just send money. In all things Middle East these days, the U.S. is just too far away. Any move now will be expensive and cumbersome. It's going to take more than a drone strike to fix this. 

So it is Russia that is forming the alliances with Iraq and Iran to fight the U.S. armed and trained insurgency. It is the United States that is on the wrong side of the conflict and what the future will show as the wrong side of history.

Who is more trustworthy in the region now? Russia is and deservedly so.

They will trust the stable Vladimir Putin over the indecisive Barack Obama, the stalwart Sergey Lavrov over that pinhead John Kerry. This pretty much goes without saying.  I mean, why wouldn’t they? Will it be long before France starts to coordinate with the Russian forces in the area. This would be a "Broad Coalition". Something the United States should have been able to do but have no clue now on how to proceed. 

Putin is right on the money when he says the U.S. has sponsored Social Experiments in the form of Democratic Revolutions for which he blamed as the root cause of the continued conflict in the Middle East.  It all began with the Obama government’s sponsoring the overthrow Egypt’s government in order to replace it with a radical Islamic State.  Obama then followed with the arming and support of radical groups all over the region. Obama and his minions were virtually hunting groups to arm and begging to train anybody who even looked like they would fight for the clandestine objectives of the United States. There weren’t many takers.

So Putin accuses the U.S. of starting the conflict and Obama responded by saying “Oh, yeah?…Well same to you buddy!”   
            
It seems by throwing in with the Man with the Real Plan, other Middle Eastern nations are voting with their feet and throwing their support to the Russia dictator’s solution, not the American dictator’s solution. Having been a dictatorship far longer than the U.S., Russia is just plain better at it than the “Man Who Would Rule the United States”.

Word has it that Obama will bypass Congress to form a new solution to the old solution. Stay tuned!

Muslim Hordes Poised to Overrun Europe!

Doesn’t look like the European Union has spent any time studying the “American Example” of letting too many people into the country that have no vested interest in the nation beyond receiving benefits that the taxpaying citizenry receives but also pays for. With some reports stating that anywhere from 51% to 71% of our burgeoning illegal immigrant population receive some form of assistance whether that be Food Stamps, Section 8 type housing allowance, WIC (Women, Infants & Children) Benefits, A Welfare Stipend, Free Public School Education for the kids, Instate Tuition for the college bound kids and Free Health Care. Take your pick.

What is happening in the United States is that the government is jamming large groups of kids into public school systems that don’t speak English and expecting the teachers to prepare them, as well as the other students in those classes, for mandated evaluation exams. Increasing class sizes and integrating non-english speaking students is a recipe for disaster. What is happening also is that communities are being put under tremendous pressure to house these people and to provide for their needs. 

The bottom line is that there are quite a bit of resources going to these people that are paid for by resident taxpaying workers in a time of economic contraction and declining wages. Every dime that is taken for this assistance means less for the people who pay, less for the businesses they would otherwise frequent and less for the overall economy of the nation. In short: A downward spiral. 

The reason why we are stumbling through the Obama years is that too much is given away for free and the people who are paying for it have to make hard economic choices when it comes to their spending. It’s the taxpayer that is going without, not the illegal immigrant.

This imbalance has proven to be the unsettlement of the nation.

The reason we even had Health Insurance in the first place was to protect us from crippling balloon payments connected with costs of health care. But now we have big payments for everything AND we still have to pay the insurance premiums.  It’s like we’re paying into a system so that we can be allowed to pay into the system. And on the other end, it’s all being handed out for little or no costs. Their costs are SUBSIDIZED by the American taxpayer who, right now, is struggling to keep ahead of the rising costs of food, housing and yes, HEALTH CARE.

This model will not stand.

Yes, the United States is a melting pot but this is not the way to do it. 

On to Europe!

So now the turmoil of endless warfare and the ever growing injection of increasingly sophisticated weaponry into the region by the United States in its unthinking effort to “Shovel Shit Against the Tide” in the Middle East has started an Exodus.  And since the EU has enacted welcoming laws like those of the United States, rather than stand and fight, the great unwashed masses of the Middle East have decided to take the path of least resistance and head to the wealthiest states in the Union. They can give two shits about Hungary or Poland, heck, they got nothing for them. No, they are making a B-line towards Germany and Austria, the most well-to-do, for now, states in the EU.

And why not, these people aren’t just content to be out of their war-torn countries, they want MORE. More of what YOU have since you have become rich beyond measure in comparison to them.  THEY want what YOU have. And now’s the time you give it to them.  After all, you’re suckers to begin with so why not see how much they can take? It’s only human nature.

AND the added benefit of the Middle East is that these hordes asking for help from the Christians are Muslim, a group that is notorious for not assimilating into countries they invade. And why should they? It is YOU that must change. Witness the protests and the demands these interlopers have been making in Hungary. Will they be any different somewhere else? I think not.

Hungarian leader Vicktor Orban, has been heavily criticized in the International Press for being, of all things, Nationalistic! He has referred to the immigrants as "illegal". He has warned that Christians will be the minority in Europe it this mass migration continues. He has been accused of hypocrisy because he was raised an Atheist. It’s as if it is a crime in itself to have a love of country or perhaps to even find God, especially if it is a Christian one. Seeing the situation for what it is has made Mr. Orban a lightning rod for scrutiny. 

But for whatever reason, we already have evidence of what happens in countries where the Christians become a minority. They get Run Out on a Rail or killed and their churches burned. This has been happening recently in India, Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia, Niger and Israel to name just a few.

When people are out to get you, “Paranoia” becomes just “Good Thinking”.

It is easy for The Global(ist) Media to criticize people opposed to this human influx, put out pictures of drowned kids and lead the charge to champion the "plight" of these poor, poor, poor people who have the money to pay thousands of dollars for passage and who all seem to be holding smart phones. It won't be THEY who will have to deal with the consequences of this mass immigration.

But ultimately it is the competition for resources that will be the biggest conflict. With nations heavily in debt, where is the money going to come from? With large groups of unmutable peoples, how are the host countries going to deal with the discontent that will invariably arise from too many people chasing too few resources. How can a country the size of Germany possibly prepare for 300,000, 500,000, 800,000 people?

Good question, glad I asked it. 

Why Europe? 

A question also comes to mind of why, with all these other Muslim countries these "Migrants" can "Emigrate" to, are all these people heading straight to Europe? Wouldn't they rather be with people who believe in what they believe or is there something else involved?

We don't hear any pledges to take ANY of these Syrian refugees coming from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Indonesia, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, Sudan, Algeria, Jordan or the UAE, No, it is Europe who will best set these people "yearning to be free" up in style better than any of these places with free lodging, clothes and free schooling. At least until they can set up their own separate religious schools.

Back in 1675 in New England, King Philip had the Colonials on the ropes early in what has come to be known as King Philip’s War. Towns like Springfield, Middleboro and Deerfield had to be abandoned or nearly abandoned and by putting people on the move, the more established towns were really put out in their efforts to support these “refugees”. It momentarily changed the war in the favor of the Indians. If it wasn’t for the scourge of European diseases and lack of food, King Philip may well have triumphed in his efforts to rid New England of the invaders. At least temporarily.
Putting people on the move has always been a good tactic in warfare since it ultimately destabilizes an enemy’s position when they have to absorb so many people.

This time the enemy has put people who are more like them on the move rather than like the people they are going to. Doesn’t take a genius to see the problems.

We need only look to America.

United States Escalating World Wide Warfare

President Obama has been taking some heat as the Republocrat War Mongers in the U.S. Congress have climbed over each other to gain the ear of the American public to make political hay from the advancing Muslim horde in Iraq.

This is one of the major public statements Mr Obama has said:

What I just find interesting is the degree to which this issue keeps on coming up, as if this was my decision. Under the previous administration, we had turned over the country to a sovereign, democratically elected Iraqi government, so let’s just be clear: The reason that we did not have a follow-on force in Iraq was because the Iraqis — a majority of Iraqis did not want U.S. troops there, and politically they could not pass the kind of laws that would be required to protect our troops in Iraq. So that entire analysis is bogus and is wrong. But it gets frequently peddled around here by folks who oftentimes are trying to defend previous policies that they themselves made.”

And actually, what the President said here is true. The Obama administration was indeed negotiating to stay in Iraq but that notion was shot to hell when the "Democratically elected Iraqi government" refused to indemnify U.S. troops which was a critical factor in keeping a force in that country. It wasn't like it was refused once either but the Obama administration was repeatedly rebuked in it's attempts and urging for an agreement to keep U.S. troops in Iraq. But having been denied this agreement, Obama then ordered the troop withdrawal. It was all over the news. This happened three years ago in 2011 by the way.

So in fact Obama was for keeping troops in Iraq before he started taking credit for withdrawing troops, finally, from Iraq. I mean, it was a major campaign promise back when he was elected president the FIRST time in 2008. 


The Iraqi government has spoken. It's not our fight any more and really it never was. We destabilized the country and now lament that it is unstable. If Turkey wants to keep ISIS off their border I suggest they get busy and intervene their own selves. The U.S. should not be in the business of doing the dirty work for nations and governments who are unwilling to do the work and take an interest in their own defense. We've got enough to worry about right here at home.

But here in the United States, war is business. Big business.

What needs to be pointed out in all this is that the escalating arms race that we are heavily involved in is the root of the very problem we claim to be trying to solve. The more arms we supply only serves the purpose of fueling the need for, you guessed it, more armaments.

ISIS has become the best supplied army in the country why? Because they have all the tanks, Humvee and shoulder-fired rockets that we've been supplying the no-show Iraqi army. Who knew? Everybody knew! We've heard for a decade that the Iraqis weren't going to fight. Now it's a surprise. But the bottom line is: We've been sending high-end weapons over there and now ISIS' got 'em. Good Thinking!

One side orders U.S. arms to counter the arms from Russia or Iraq that the other side is getting and then we send in our armaments and so that in turn increases the orders for more Russian and Iranian made armaments. It's quite a little experiment in free market economics.

The Middle East is a weapon manufacturer's wet dream. Millions of uneducated religious fanatics going at each other driven by religious fervor, oil money and a desire to destroy the "unbelievers". The constant consumption and need for arms is just too good to pass up. And who cares if people get killed? They LIKE it when they get killed. Just too perfect.

But plenty of people who don't like it get killed too. Nothing is ultimately achieved. Generations are wasted, societies fail to advance and the people fail to prosper. Nobody is saved. It has just been a blood orgy for as long as I can remember. And many times the "Made in the U.S.A" label is on the product.

The solution is: We have to quit selling tanks to any idiot with a bank account. We've got to stop supporting demi-tyrants and dictators who's jack-boot tactics foster a dedicated opposition.
 

I don't want the Republocrats back if all they want to do is to continue fighting wars especially in the Middle East where we've been for over a decade just squandering our resources and children's futures. We don't need it and it hasn't been working, has it? 

Selling weapons is a big money maker for the U.S. and we sell the most but at some point we've got to assess what is behind the escalating violence and it the answer is in the mirror.

Obama Offers Only Lip Service In Third Debate


From his tough talk on China to his love for Israel, President Obama will say anything to get re-elected.
But his actions have never reflected his words.

He’s had four years to deliver those tough words to China but he never has.
He hasn’t proven to be the best friend of Israel either, preferring to throw them under the bus in his dogged pursuit of acceptance by the Muslims of the North African nations. He’s had four years to prove his balance in the Middle East and we have yet to see it.

He said that he has bet on the American worker but he has chosen the wrong American worker. He continues to support the public unions with his education drive over the private sector American worker. The difference here is that the public sector, government, doesn’t actually produce anything. They don’t make pocket combs.
Obama’s idea of research is backing experimental companies with public funds…and losing. His green companies have not thrived. Quite the opposite really.

I especially liked Obama taking credit for the ending of the Iraq war and coming into office while there were two wars. This is odd to me because the wars haven’t ended. There’s still fighting in both Iraq and Afghanistan and then there was that intervention in Libya, a third war front. Where are the war endings? I don’t see any wars ending. I also have a vague recollection about closing the prison at Gitmo which is still in business.
A policy that seeks to expand government is a policy that will continue to drain the economy with increasing diminished returns. If government takes $ 5 Trillion out of the private sector in the form of taxes, that is $5 Trillion less that the private sector has to spend. If you give that money to the teachers, what will come back? A bunch of educated unemployed people. That’s just dandy!

What you won’t see is the businesses, the goods and the opportunities that weren’t created because of the lack of capital. You won’t see it because it was never created. This is the difference between government and the private sector. The private sector produces goods and generates revenue and government taxes and spends that revenue for its own works. You don’t have a choice and you don’t have a voice in its dispersal. The only money you can control is the money in your pocket, the money you've earned, after the government takes their cut.
President Obama is sticking to his ideology; Government provides, education must be funded and expanded and government picking its pet projects and punishing entities like coal and oil should continue. For his Socialist Vision, the President will go out on his shield but he should go out just the same. His positions are untenable and the country will suffer for his ideology.

Socialism and Redistribution of resources by government in reality has always lacked imagination. It is an unwieldy and cumbersome archaic idea that has already been tried and tried and has failed and failed. How boring to see this all unfold again.
But the President is going to stick to his agenda until some other force; the American people perhaps, can intercede. That’s why he’s in “Say Anything” mode. All he wants is to get back in office to continue his mission of upending the institutions that have made America the world’s largest economy.

And that all depends if you can believe what he says.

Obama Administration Totally Misreads Middle East


Make no mistake, if the U.S. did not intervene in the Libyan civil conflict, our embassy would not have been overrun and our ambassador and his fellow Americans would not be dead today.
No one can blame George W. Bush for this debacle.

This bed was made solely by President Barak Obama. It was his administration that supported and urged on the rise of the Islamic Nazi movements in Libya and Egypt. It was the Obama administration that has not only nurtured the overthrow of secular governments in Middle Eastern countries but he also directly involved the United States Armed Forces to insure the radical Islamist’s victory. Now these countries are Islamic Caliphates.
To pull off the Libyan Intervention, the Obama administration subverted the Constitution and violated the War Powers Act.  The U.S. Congress, now reduced to a group of grasping, finger pointing, self-serving scoundrels, did what they do best…nothing. No vote, no proclamations, no action.

The biggest mistake Obama and his band of activist henchmen have made is to think that all this support, all this appeasement and all this bullying of Israel will buy them any favor with these Arab Barbarians.
You cannot buy favor with people whose only goal is to burn down every house in America, the UK, Israel and the rest of the world who AREN’T MUSLIM! Sure, they’ll take your aid and support and tell you what you want to hear but when they get strong enough on your good will, they’re coming after YOU. It’s amazing to think that Obama would think something else was going to happen. It didn’t.

And for Israel, they’re the smart guys we’re ignoring. They are our only non-Muslim allies in the Middle East, desperately trying to hold onto something we in the U.S now take for granted: Their NATION. Those who run Israel know how fleeting a civilization can be while we in the U.S. think that we’ll just go on forever regardless of what we do to ourselves. It won't.
So by getting the U.S. to help them overthrow Gadhafi and gaining control of the country, the Muslim regimes, enboldened and empowered, are quickly expunging every non-Muslim element in their nations.  They’re killing Christians and they’re killing U.S. citizens. They will succeed in expelling every non-Muslim in the nation in a grand Islamic purge. Remember, to kill in the name of Allah is no sin.

Or should we call it “Ethnic Cleansing”? Oh, I forgot, we only use that term when it’s non-Muslims fighting the spread of radical Islam in their countries so that term does not apply in this instance.

The blame for the inferno that is the Middle East today falls squarely on the Obama administration, without whose tireless efforts the storming of the Libyan Embassy would not have occurred. They miscalculated their actions in the Middle East, chose the wrong sides and used U.S. Military might illegally to carry out their misguided objectives.
The Libyan Embassy incident is a burning example for why countries stay out of other country’s Civil Wars.

By all accounts Christopher Stevens was a good man and as a U.S. Ambassador, he did his job and died in the line of duty.
It’s a shame to even have to say it.
