2011 Hopes, 2012 Realities
I began writing an article entitled “A Christmas Retrospective” with, “The eventful year 2011 now drawing to a close may have been one filled with natural, political, and sociological disasters yet it produced unmistakable signs that all is not lost for America and the rest of humanity.”
I recounted the earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornados, the Arab Spring which portended an Arab Winter and worsening national and international tensions, the Occupy upheavals suggestive of revolution supported by Barack Hussein Obama 201 and yet I decided 2011 wasn’t as much a debacle as it was a year of hope springing eternal for our beknighted planet and nation.
Scratch any suggestions of 2012 being an improvement on 2011. On re-consideration of my Chistmas-inspired attack of optimism, 2012 promises to suck big time.
In part, events occurring over the past few days forced the revisionism.
The mayhem resulting from the sale of Air Jordans, a Santa in Grapevine Texas murdering 6 relatives, riots over rappers at the Mall of America, and Tim Tebow’s Denver Broncos losing all contributed to a change of perspective.
Iran taunting the U.S. Navy in the Strait of Hormuz and Obama’s public approval rating rising to 47.1 didn’t help, either.
Still, it was an article by Professor James Petras on GlobalResearch.ca that convinced me my rose-colored glasses had been clouded by my cataracts . . .

Welcome to the Real World, Oslo!
Welcome to the Real World, Oslo!
With the still-developing news of a horrific car bombing in Oslo and the mindless slaughter of teenagers at Utoya, Jeremiah Wright might say that Norwegian chickens have come home to roost, except that the Norwegian chickens haven’t launched what Wright would call unprovoked wars and the Norden nations have been damned generous beyond comprehension with their influx of Islamic immigrants.
Preliminary reports indicate at least 9-10 people were killed, 15 injured in the explosion at the Norwegian prime minister’s Oslo office but many victims are still trapped in the rubble. An additional eighty, some trying to swim away for their lives, were murdered by a gunman masquerading as a police officer at the Labor Party youth camp in apparently coordinated attacks.
The coordinators seem to have been Islamic jihadists: “A terror group, Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami, or the Helpers of the Global Jihad, issued a statement claiming responsibility for the attack, . . . The message said the attack was a response to Norwegian forces’ presence in Afghanistan and to unspecified insults to the Prophet Muhammad.” (http://nyti.ms/o6sfMI)
Peace-loving Norway maintains a very minimal presence in the War on Terror and in the Afghanistan war so the chief causes of the attacks must are clearly those “unspecified insults to the Prophet,” or a reflection of the insanity of Islamic militants. They did it because they could and they needed no further excuse than their jihad. . .

Recent White House Deceptions: Transcripts, Dreams, and Muslims
Recent White House Deceptions: Transcripts, Dreams, and Muslims
In our high-speed Internet, our 24/7 cable news age, we tend to get complacent insofar as the news and information we’re getting, innocently believing that what we’re seeing and hearing is substantially everything that’s out there, that it’s relatively accurate and reliable.
That ain’t necessarily so, especially when the news and information relate to the White House and its current residents.
Cases in point: White House transcripts which aren’t transcripted as much as they are scripted, the nightmarish Dream Act which seemed dead yet is very much alive, and the prosecution of Muslim terrorists who may very well be merely misunderstood conscientious objectors. . .

Our Pathetic, War-Mongering White House
Our Pathetic, War-Mongering White House
The Obama White House may go down as the most corrupt administration since another Democrat, Lyndon Baines Johnson, sat in the Oval Office, setting all-time records for grasping, manipulative, overreaching conduct, actions which are matched by its tackiness.
Regarding the tacky, and disregarding Rep. Anthony Tweeterman Weiner in that category, the president exhibited his roots this week by raffling himself off for five bucks a chance. More specifically, by participating in a presidential sweepstakes, four lucky winners could win a dinner with the Chief Executive of the United States of America, time and locale to be determined.
Obama made the unique, limited time, offer in a campaign email to his millions of minions in which he appealed for financial assistance toward his re-election saying, in part, “We rely on everyday Americans giving whatever they can afford–and I want to spend time with a few of you. So if you make a donation today, you’ll be automatically entered for a chance to be one of the four supporters to sit down with me for dinner. Please donate $5 or more today.”
Winners will also receive free air fare and accommodations for the “casual meal among friends” and they aren’t even required to contribute, although that detail was hidden where all scammers hide their scam, in the fine print. (http://bit.ly/lFs5Mi)
The heart quickens at the prospect, the stomach churns at the vulgar tastelessness, not of the meal necessarily but of the lack of dignity and class.
Were lack of taste and class the only Obamian flaws, they could be overlooked, if not forgiven. Lord knows Americans are well acquainted with this crew’s crudeness by now.
We could even overlook the report on Politico.com that Google.com has granted “special access” to Obama’s re-election campaign, denied to Republicans, which would provide information on Googlers for the edification of Obama’s campaigners. Google claimed to Politico that it was simply an experimental program and definitely not a “special deal” accorded to Obama. (http://politi.co/iD7HK6)
Heaven forbid that Google would favor the Obamians! It’s surely just an experiment, that will be concluded on or about November 6, 2012.
However, again, as with a tacky presidential lottery, Americans can overlook Google’s anti-GOP bias since we’re so used to it. What we can’t and should never become accustomed to is this president’s usurpation of power. . .

Bring In the Porn and Other Osama/Obama News
Bring in the Porn, and Other Osama/Obama News
There are no reports that Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, أسامة بن محمد بن عوض بن لادن, the Butcher of 9/11 recently killed by Barack bin Obama with some assistance from U.S. Navy SEALs, also enjoyed lap dances but we now know he was a porn aficionado as well as a mayhem maven.
Our government is being as mum about OBL’s stash of pornography on his computer(s) as it is about his final candid photographs as shot (pun) by our SEALs but we’re as sure as shooting (another pun) that he had an “extensive” collection of dirty pictures and who knows what else on those computers which, not incidentally, are an invention of those Western devils he used to despise.
Roger Simon argues that Obama and Company can keep the bloody pictures, that is, Osama’s head shots, if they really believe they would be disturbing to Americans and to already-disturbed Muslims.
As rational people are aware, Americans have seen far more graphic photos, including pictures of people hurling themselves off the WTC to escape incineration and pictures of the 9/11 aftermath and, as already noted, Muslims are quite disturbed anyway and hardly require pics to disturb them more. However, there’s no excuse, even government obtuseness, not to publicize OBL’s porn penchant which is a whole other story.
Simon says, “The kind of pornography a man looks at it gives us a certain insight into him. I can’t even begin to guess what excited bin Laden’s twisted brain. It could be something quite banal or something, shall we say, rather outré. I leave that to your imagination . . . Besides that, the promulgation of bin Laden’s porn choices would reduce this holy man further and continue to mock him as a pathetic old man:” http://bit.ly/jI1ygu
So, release the porn and let the riyal chips fall where they may!
In related news, the Washington Post, a subsidiary of the Obama administration along with the vast majority of the MSM, went off the plantation in reporting that Obama’s Pentagon is considering permitting families of captured OBL fanatics at GITMO to visit their imprisoned loved ones.
At the instigation of the International Committee of the Red Cross, . . .

Panic in, on, above, and below America's Streets
Panic In, On, Above, and Below America's Streets
Newswires are awash in panic stories since President Obama killed Osama bin Laden with the assistance of our Navy SEALs, more awash than before he killed OBL.
As Drudge reported on Monday from various sources:
New York’s Senator Chuckie Schumer, who is always calling for something as long as there’s a photo op possible, is “calling for the creation of an Amtrak no ride list. That would take the secure flight program and apply it to Amtrak trains.” (CBS.com) Subways, the LIRR, Metro North are presumably safe enough for Chuckie.
“Two terrifying rail security breaches occurred within hours of each other in [New York] city yesterday–including one at the World Trade Center, where a man slipped into the PATH tunnel and walked all the way to Jersey before saying he had left a bomb in the tunnel.” (New York Post)
Bronx streets were blocked off twice last weekend while the NYPD investigated a parked SUV and another potential ”bomb threat.” (Daily News)
Lest the reader think threats to America are confined to the mean seats on Amtrack and the meaner streets of NYC, three other incidents were reported including “a threatening note” left behind in a Detroit bathroom, diverted three separate aircraft, a Dallas train station was evacuated after a man asked for help carrying parcels, four people were arrested for videotaping a TSA pat-down line in Denver, and TSA agents tried to sniff out explosives in a baby’s diaper at Kansas City International.
Anyone else get the feeling we’re overdoing security? Or, are we? May God forbid we return to the pre-9/11 lax security days but are we over-securing our country and our people and making America an intolerable place in which to live, work, and travel?
More importantly, how long does the government expect us to live, work, and travel under these conditions? If it’s for the duration as they used to say during World War Two, if so, how long is the duration? For as long as Islam threatens and attacks us? If that’s the case, our children, grandchildren, and their children and grandchildren may have to adapt to a system which is evolving into something little different than the old U.S.S.R. and Hitler’s brownshirts imposed on their citizenry.
As burdensome and depressing as that scenario is, there’s a more burdensome and depressing alternative, an alternative which involves America finally announcing to bloodthirsty terrorists of every stripe that we have had enough. In conjunction with our Western allies who would most probably not concur, we further announce we plan to win that war which our current president pretends does not exist, the worldwide War on Terrorism.
The costs of winning would be stupendous. The costs of losing could be stupefying.
This is where the alternative becomes most burdensome and depressing on Americans . . .
