UPDATES: Assange, Gore, Multiculturalism

UPDATES: Assange, Gore, Multiculturalism

It’s humbling to be correct all the time, but truth is truth. Some recent developments that reinforce and support recent articles on this website:

JULIAN ASSANGE’S OTHER LEAKS:

Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks has been wreaking havoc within the U.S. State Department and with international relations by publicizing tens of thousands of secret American documents for some months now. Assange has repeatedly proven himself to be a disreputable and irresponsible America-hater who gets off by embarrassing and undermining this country.

Now facing British charges for rape and sexual molestation, he apparently gets off in sundry other ways as well with his imitation of Johnny Appleseed by dropping his seed hither, thither, and yon around Australia. The products of his sexual dalliances with at least four women range in age from six months to 20 years of age.

In a deliciously ironic twist, that news was leaked by British police and substantiated in a tell-all book by a disenchanted former WikiLeak spokesperson Daniel Domsheit-Bergas and by other WikiLeakers. For good measure, Domsheit-Berg also references Assange’s “lack of personal hygiene and table manners [which] suggest he was ‘brought up by wolves’ and reveals his erstwhile good buddy’s “main criteria for a woman:” young and ”aware of her role as a woman,” whatever that means: http://tiny.cc/jrqpk

THE CONTINUING DEFLATION OF THE GOREACLE:

Former VP Albert Arnold Gore was a bust as vice president and in his marriage but scored big time in his crusade to spread the tainted word of global warming and earned a Nobel Peace Prize and an Oscar for his efforts. He has also earned untold riches preaching the evils of greenhouse gasses and the merits of carbon credits even as he toured and polluted the planet in his Lear jet.

Not a guy to be easily dismayed by reality, Gore never misses a climate step. . .

Groundhogs, WikiLeaks, and Nukes

Groundhogs, WikiLeaks, and Nukes

Now that the annual excitement of Punxsutawney Phil is over after Phil made his shadowy prediction that we will have an early spring and then returned to his groundhog burrow and the good folk in Punxsutawney, PA turn their thoughts to more important events such as the Steelers winning the Super Bowl, it might be worthwhile to consider another prediction.

The other prediction isn’t new. It’s been made repeatedly in one form or another by various sources but, although it involves far more dire consequences than when spring will arrive, this prediction receives far less attention than does a woodchuck.

The Vancouver Sun has reported that, “Al-Qaida is on the verge of producing radioactive weapons after sourcing nuclear material and recruiting rogue scientists to build ‘dirty’ bombs, according to leaked diplomatic documents. A leading atomic regulator has privately warned that the world stands on the brink of a ‘nuclear 9/11.’ “

Now, some will say that that report isn’t real news, and it isn’t since America and the rest of the world has heard over the last six months similar reports, of terrorist internet “chatter,” of Islamic plots against the West foiled and in progress, of various alerts and warnings. It’s almost as if we’re being prepped for a catastrophic “nuclear 9/11″ which our president has already said we could withstand and still be just hunky dorey.

The Sun article does add somewhat to that old news. In its article, “Al-Qaida on Brink of Using Nuclear Bomb,” it reveals that among those tens of thousands of classified American cables made public by Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks . . .

Pfc. Bradley E. Manning: Soldier, Homosexual, Traitor

Pfc. Bradley E. Manning: Soldier, Homosexual, Traitor

In any event, Pfc. Manning was of no mind to wait to see how the tally went. He was royally pissed at the world in general and the military and America in particular and elected to wage his own, private war.

In an expectedly-sympathetic piece on “the early struggles” of Pfc. Manning, the New York Times reveals that Manning was bullied as a kid, “bullied” being the latest buzzword to gain reader attention.

It seems that young Brad’s gaiety blossomed early and visibly and his fellow students taunted him about it during his years growing up with his mother in her native southwest Wales, taunting which complemented the bullying he received in his Crescent, Oklahoma years with his father when he was harassed “for being a geek.”

The latter just may have been related to his refusal to recite ”under God” in the “Pledge of Allegiance,” or maybe not.

Even with his angelic, baby-faced look, but keeping in mind that Lucifer, too, was once an angel, poor Bradley couldn’t catch a break wherever he went until he went into the U.S. Army where he hit upon his sure-fire solution for getting even with America for his perceived maltreatment, and his failures in life and in the Army.

After falling in love with the love of his life, a “self-described drag queen,” according to the Times, he felt he had “been isolated so long, But events kept forcing me to figure out ways to survive:” http://tiny.cc/zjyii

He didn’t spell out those events but his survival skills led him to decide to steal secret government documents by the hundreds of thousands and to transmit them to the equally-disturbed Julian Assange at WikiLeaks. The rest is history.

One thing is certain, Brad won’t feel isolated ever again. . .

The Case for Canning Clinton

The Case for Canning Clinton

So the title, “The Case for Canning Clinton,” does not refer to Bubba but rather to his blushing bride, presidential-ever-hopeful, now Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, laughably America’s top diplomat.

The former commodity maven who miraculously, artfully, turned a pittance of a thousand bucks into a $100,000. windfall within a year due to her speculative expertise in cattle futures, the same Hillary who, even more miraculously, said she was named after the famed Mount Everest explorer, Sir Edmund Hillary, even though she was a gleam in her daddy’s eye about 5 years before Edmund set foot on the mountain, may finally have met her Waterloo, her long overdue comeppance, thanks to WikiLeaks.

See “The WikiTsunami,” http://tiny.cc/wxv51

The case for canning Secretary of State Clinton is a simple, straightforward one and comes to us directly from the U.S. State Department website which spells out her general mission and which Hillary surely had a hand in composing.

Hillary’s own page on that site defines her duties: ”The Secretary carries out the President’s foreign policies through the State Department and the Foreign Service of the United States.”

The website, (Hillary?), further states, “[T]his work starts at home, where we have rejected the false choice between our security and our values. It continues around the world, where human rights are always on our diplomatic and development agendas, even with nations on whose cooperation we depend for a wide range of issues. . . A lot has been said about our 21st century statecraft and our e-diplomacy, but we really believe that it’s an important additional tool for us to utilize.”

Sounding even more Hillary-esque, it goes on to say, “We must use what has been called “smart power”: the full range of tools at our disposal–diplomatic, economic, military, political, legal, and cultural–picking the right tool, or combination of tools, for each situation. With smart power, diplomacy will be the vanguard of foreign policy:” http://tiny.cc/p2x62

And there you have it folks, the State Department’s cogent delineation of the bases for the removal from office of the Secretary of State: an abject failure to fulfill her assigned mission.

Thanks to the revelations of Julian Assange’s WikiLeaks, it is clear that Clinton arrogantly rejected both “our security and our values,” she incompetently misused and failed to use “the full range of tools at our disposal–diplomatic, economic, military, political, legal, and cultural,” and she obviously picked the wrong tool and “combination of tools.”

In brief, since diplomats, even inept diplomats, love their briefs, Hillary Clinton authorized, ordered, our diplomats and our foreign embassies to spy on other world diplomats and even to look for dirt on U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. Prostituting our worldwide diplomatic corps might better describe what Secretary Clinton mandated.

Not content to spy on enemies, . . .

The WikiTsunami

The WikiTsunami

There are leaks and there are leaks, there are floods and there are floods, there are tsunamis and there are tsunamis and even though “WikiLeaks” flows from the tongue somewhat more fluidly that “WikiTsunamis,” what happened over the weekend can only be described as a diplomatic tsunami of epic proportions.

The chief difference between that criminal release of purloined documents and a literal tsunami was that the leak has had precedents and the United States knew it was on the way, even if it acted as if it were impotent to prevent or de-fuse it.

Without solely assigning responsibility to the Obama administration for the release of a quarter million mostly classified, some labeled “secret,” United States State Department-embassy cables, it cannot be held totally blameless either.

Sarah Palin Facebooked her thoughts which are right on the mark. She reminds that WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, is not a journalist who should be accorded journalistic privilege. He should have been treated as an anti-American terrorist, which he is, and treated as such.

Rather than preparing for damage control, as is the modus operandi of the Obama administration, after Assange’s earlier leaks, Palin believes our government should have exeerted worldwide pressure and the assistance of NATO, the EU, and other allies to pre-empt WikiLeak’s next attack: http://tiny.cc/zyw0k

Instead, led by the Ditherer-in chief, America dithered as the WikiTsunami approached and ultimately hit with full force.

WikiLeaks and its founder evidently had no regard for repurcussions of its leakage of those sensitive American documents but someone should have.

It was anything for notoriety and anti-Americanism, eh, Julian, no matter how much damage you do, how much chaos you effect, or how many deaths you cause? I would hope that you will eventually be prosecuted and, with any luck at all, be strung up by your gonads.

In no danger of that latter fate since the New York Times lacks both figurative and literal gonads, especially when it comes to resisting the urge to publish any material detrimental to the better interests of the United States, the Times has issued its rationale for publishing allegedly carefully-redacted excerpts of stolen documents.

That rationale essentially boils down to: We did it because we could. . .
