London Terrorist-Butchers Unleash Frantic Western Nonsense

Friday, May 24th, 2013

There are too many things wrong in this article about the two Islamic jihadi butchers in London to count.

Start with the caption: how do you “brace” for possible copycat attacks if you have nothing to “brace” with?  You may cower.  You may shuffle helplessly.  But, to me, “bracing” implies taking some effective action.  A disarmed people may cower in fear, but they cannot “brace” for anything.

Then, we read that “Britain is bracing for clashes with right-wing extremists…”  When government fails its essential missions, when government is derelict in its fundamental duties, then that government must expect that some of the people will rise up.  In this instance, the government recklessly opened the door to people who hate America and all reap the destruction.  Some decide “Enough!” and take their defense into their own hands.  This is not “extreme.”  It is common sense.

London is sending more than 1,000 police to “potential trouble spots”….  Wait.  You know where the trouble spots are?  Why are you permitting the infection to fester?  How about sending some people back to the hell-hole they came from so that you eliminate the “trouble spots?”

“Only “a fraction of Britain’s police offers are armed.”  No further comment needed.

“Right-wing extremists, meanwhile, said they would be holding demonstrations…to protest.  To protest.  And they are extremists.  I certainly hope the British are protesting.

And, then, there’s “Stockholm Syndrome II” where your captors arrive in small numbers, make the captured cower in their homes, and the pathetically passive majority of that country are still afraid to rise up and demand that the government preserve their nation.  I could be talking about Sweden, or the United Kingdom, but I am talking about the United States.

I am going to continue to say this:

Muslim people are at civil war for the soul of Islam.  The jihadi tolerate no bystanders; they kill infidel and Muslim alike.

Their civil war spills over onto us—to the extent we permit the jihad.

We do not have to permit them.  Think of ways to preserve your country.  Demand your politicians act.

Until you in the Islamic world figure out whether Islam is peaceful or murderous, the rest of us would like for you to contain your civil war to within your own lands.  That means closing our borders to those likely to turn into homicidal maniacs claiming to do the will of Allah by slaying our people, on our streets.  The problem we have is that it is hard for us—and for you—to decide just which young man is going to turn into a flesh-chopping zombie.

Three Reasons Why “It” Matters, Mrs. Clinton

Sunday, May 19th, 2013

Recruitment, Mrs. Clinton, that is one reason it matters.  You have a volunteer Army and a volunteer State Department, Mrs. Clinton.  The parents of graduates and smart young people would like to think that when the enemy is in the wire, breaching the walls, screaming for American blood, and about to overrun the compound, you would hear their calls for help and send shooters.  Instead, we learn that they are readily expendable.  To you and the rest of the Obama political team.  Listen closely, and you will hear parents telling their young adult children “Whatever you decide to get into, forget the military and stay out of the State Department, too.  They will stick you out there and leave you to twist in the wind.”

It?  “Why does it matter?”  Because they matter, Mrs. Clinton.

Finally, it matters because we—you and your administration and your president—have sent many Americans out to hot, dirty hell-holes to serve our country.  You have proven you cannot be trusted to back them up, cover them, guard them, and reinforce them when the enemy threatens to slaughter them.  You must be held accountable.  So it does not happen again.

Syrian Sarin: Where Did Assad Get Chemical Weapons?

Saturday, April 27th, 2013

Now that Bashar al- Assad crossed the red line and painted it pink, let’s add this question to the debacle that is American foreign policy in the Middle East: Where did Assad get Sarin gas?  Consider the possibilities.

The Russians?

The North Koreans?

Iraq, under Saddam Hussein?

I am betting it was Iraq under Saddam Hussein, trucking chemical and other weapons westward across the Syrian border for storage there during the run-up to the allied invasion.  Hussein had months, and we did not take Syria first, once again leaving our enemy a porous border and a friendly dictator to his west.

Therefore, this question that is not being asked will not be asked by the western press, and our administration is certainly not going to talk about it.

Boston Marathon Bombing: Why Carry a Gun, and Guarding the Gates

Friday, April 26th, 2013

Carjacking:
After the carjacking, the brothers Dzhokhar throw explosives at pursuing police, shoot it out with Watertown police and use more explosives.  They seriously injure a police officer.  Massachusetts State Police do not even bother to declare martial law in Watertown and just raid houses door-to-door, street-to-street shredding the Constitution, threatening citizens, and showing us all that America as a free republic vaporizes at their whim.  The largely disarmed city with a disarmed mindset is told to “shelter in place.”  Military-style law enforcement unit members take over Watertown.  Amerika.

Had the unarmed driver been armed, could he have stopped the mayhem and martial law on the spot?  We will never know.  He stopped his Mercedes in “condition white” to TXT and opened his window to the bomber, who then took him prisoner at gunpoint.  The bombers let him go later, but it is easily foreseeable that they could have murdered him.  Their flung bombs while running could have killed someone.  Most importantly: it now emerges that they probably had more bombings in mind.  It could have all turned out even more tragically.  And, a single armed citizen at the point of the carjacking could have stopped it all dead.

“Misha” the radicalizer:
Who is Misha?  Why was Misha in America?  Who let him in?  If born here, why were his parents permitted into America?  Our leaders who failed to change immigration policy after WTC I and even still after 9-11, created the atmosphere in which the Boston Marathon Bombers operated.  Our federal government has failed its duty to guard the gates.

And, there’s that mom.  Immigration.  She was here legally.  Americans, your government has failed you.  Consistently.  Repeatedly.  Daily.  At this point, our leaders can no longer claim ignorance.  We breach our own defenses by permissive, promiscuous immigration.

Does that offend you?  If so, then just look at the pictures of blood and guts on the streets of Boston.  Replay that video you have already forgotten about, of Americans jumping from the World Trade Center to escape the flames.  Which offends you more—your fellow citizens’ blood and guts on the streets, or my telling you we must guard our gates?

A Tale of Two Cities: Benghazi and Boston

Saturday, April 20th, 2013

When the .gov moves quickly to kill and capture terrorists, its spokesmen line up at the microphone and congratulate each other.  Then, the President shows up to join in, mouthing platitudes.  (I heard nothing from the president explaining why the federal government permitted these Islamic terrorist America-haters to live here in the first place.)

I am proud of our law enforcers, and I respect that they put themselves in harm’s way.  This post is not about them.

When the dithering .gov creates debacle and disaster, as in Benghazi, it dodges, tries to disappear from the public, and it deceives.  President Obama and his staff continue to deceive us.

Where is the press conference to tell all of the people what a great job the Obama administration did handling the takeover of our consulate in Benghazi, and the murder of our ambassador?

Oh, I almost forgot.  They captured a videographer and threw him into jail.  They implied he is a “Christian” (to smear Christians in general and to silence any voice criticizing Islamic terrorists).  We idiots were to believe that his video (trailer) caused all of this.

To Democrats: It’s time to stop being willfully tricked by this administration.  It is time to demand of your party that Benghazi be explained.  Whomever planted the lie about the video should be exposed and fired.  Whomever—if anyone—prevented our armed forces from coming to the rescue should be exposed and fired.  Do you not agree?  If so, then where is your voice in this?  If you think your administration has no duty to be accountable for Benghazi, just look at how they rush to attack the opposition party, and to try to brag about handling Boston.

And what government immigration policy prevents future radicalization of “home-grown” jihad, anyway?  I can answer that for you: nothing.

Boston Marathon Bomber: Should Have Been Stopped At the Gates

Friday, April 19th, 2013

Why is anything about the two Boston Marathon bombers surprising?  This has already been done.  Multiple times, now.  Over the span of 40 years.

Even forgetting World Trade Center I, let’s just start with 9-11.  Who could overlook 9-11.  Apparently, a lot of people.  But, 9-11 deprived our people and leaders of any excuse to remain oblivious to the threat of Islamic terrorism.  America was and is infiltrated and is under attack.  I am amazed at the gushing, shocked reporters who act as if this is some sort of new thing.  They wonder if Boston is an indication that there are more Islamic terrorists already here.  Of course there are.  We let them in.

They marvel into their microphones that this has only now, finally happened and that there have been no such attacks since 9-11.  This is certainly an insult to the Army dead at Fort Hood, murdered by Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

So, why were these two bombers here?  Why were they not stopped at our gates?  Who stamped some passport with a U.S. visa opening the doors to them?  The 19 9-11 hijackers were here on student visas.  No one stopped them either.

Will Americans now insist that our politicians get the gates manned?

Why would it be necessary for the two bombers to train in some overseas terrorist training camp?  If I were running Islamic terrorist training, I’d recruit here and train here.  I’d buy, rent, or borrow property.  I’d move around.  There is no need to expose the cell by arranging international travel for a young Islamic man with no connection to Pakistan, to travel to Pakistan, for example.  That would be called a “clue.”  He can just drive to Missouri or from NYC to upstate.

Was their carjack victim armed?  If not, will he be in the future?  Maybe not: Brady ranks Massachusetts at #3 for “good” gun control.  That helped you, Boston, didn’t it?

America.  We are already infiltrated.  Our federal government under multiple administrations has utterly failed to secure our gates.  They will act only when you—the people—demand that your politicians guard the gates.  But, you are being tricked by a government embroiling our country in chaos: economic chaos with national healthcare and taxation; social chaos with its insistence that homosexuals may marry; and political chaos as they insist on putting down ordinary Americans through gun control.

We are already infiltrated.

We are already infiltrated.

Why am I repeating this?  Because the enemy is repeating the same successful infiltration and raid operations and our incompetent leaders fail.

And, because once they are in, these ambushes are inevitable.

And because, somehow, “we” continue to act surprised.

Update: If you are about to comment that these bombers came here with their parents, then you are not getting what I am saying.  Stop them at the gates.  No one has the right to enter the USA other than a citizen.  No one.  Nothing compels us to treat all foreign nationals equally.  The dead and maimed do compel us to guard the gates.

Update: If you insist that this president is doing all he can to combat terrorism, then: Benghazi.  Please explain Benghazi.

Principles For Domestic Peace

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

Guard the gates.  Spies, saboteurs, and yes, even mass murdering terrorists walk among us.  Because we let them.  We let them in so easily.  Once in, we wait for them to commit murder.  Then, we hunt them down and put them into prison.  But, we should never have let them in.  We do need immigration reform, but it’s first thrust should be stopping the flow of student visas and illegal entries so that we can turn those who hate us away at our gates.  The Clinton administration utterly failed at this; the Bush administration should have immediately instituted a moratorium on all immigration from suspect lands on 9-12-11, but failed; the Obama administration leaves the gates untended.  Once they are in, we get WTC I, WTC II, Fort Hood, and perhaps now, Boston.  If we want to continue to enjoy our liberty, we must stop those who would destroy us at our gates.

Execute murderers.  Teach murderers that they are heinous to our people.  Can we at least be united in this?  McVeigh, for example, was tried and executed in record time.  It can be done, all while rigorously holding to the most demanding due process.  The left seemed curiously passive during McVeigh’s trial and rapid execution.  Could it be because the left could not demonize him as a “right-winger?”  Could it be because McVeigh’s journal expresses their own pre-Obama, anti-Bush, views of how America dealt with Iraq?  In his essay, he parrots their Iraq rants.  Could it be because McVeigh’s religion was agnostic science, not Christianity?  Murder is foul.  Murder is a crime.  Our law enforcers are superb at investigating murder and capturing the murderers.  Then, a dysfunctional justice system crippled by decades of leftist politics fumbles the justice.  Restore the unmistakable lesson that murderers earn our scorn, and our justice.

Equal justice under the law.  Every law that favors one group and disadvantages another foments division and disrespect for our government.  In some, that sparks healthy debate and political engagement.  In some, it stirs unrest.  In a few, disrespect and unrest grow into something almost inexplicably monstrous.  The left mouths the equal justice mantra, but means the opposite: use of the law as a cudgel to beat some into submission while passing out the rewards to others.

Consider this.  The monstrous evil of slavery was not just that one man—equal in the eyes of God to all others—presumed to own and assert dominion over another.  That monstrous evil was made possible by an even greater evil: twisted law.  An entire system of laws ignored the Constitution’s promise of equal justice under the law and enforced the slave-owner’s claims.  What if overnight in 1860 all laws and law enforcers and courts treated all men and women alike?  The slave would have awakened to the law of self-defense.  The slave would have been entitled to travel and seek refuge without being arrested and forcibly returned.  The slave’s labor would have been sold under contract for wages, freely marketed by the slave.  The man resisting equal justice under the law trying to hold fast to the claimed right to act as a slave owner would have been arrested for kidnapping, or sued for false imprisonment.  Whippings are criminal battery.  Lacking the agreement of the slave to stay and work, the slave owner would have had no contract to enforce.

But, a system of some laws treated slaves differently from all others.  It was the law treating people differently that made slavery possible.  Without the law to enforce slavery, slavery would have evaporated.  Violently in places, but lacking the backing of the courts, slavers would have found themselves alone, isolated, and outlaws.  Equal protection of the laws means just that: rigid neutrality of the law so that a citizen’s enjoyment of his country’s blessings does not depend on his begging to government for favored treatment.  The government eager to step in and adjust social relationships by favoring one group and punishing another invites disrespect, unrest, and rebellion.

Resist the temptation to “make law” to achieve your personal agenda.  Operate from the “default to freedom” principle.  Diversity is a strength only if operating from a foundation of shared morality and liberty under law.  Otherwise, diversity is disunity is division is disaster.  ”Unity” does not make us great: unity in moral consensus and liberty under lawful government is strength.

America lacks both and we have become weak.  And vulnerable.  And debased.

Don’t think so?  Does the name “Gosnell” mean anything to you?  The same president petulantly puffing today about the Senate’s refusal to pass his gun control has no comment to make about the abortionist doctor who literally butchered already-born infants.  If you think I am exaggerating the man’s crimes, you should read.  But, the major news media blackout on the story, and now the eclipse of the Boston Marathon bombing overshadow this warning to America.  Gosnell is like the canary in the coal mine warning about the poison in the air.  Equal justice for 5-minute olds.  Otherwise, the life of a 5-week old, 5-year old, or 50-year old is not worth much.

North Korean Dictator’s Insanity, Explained

Friday, March 29th, 2013

Chicoms are behind what appears to us to be Kim’s insanity.  Spin Kim up, let him crash around.  Set the west and ROK in motion.  Observe the U.S. and South Korean reaction.  Watch our force re-deployments.  Note our political responses.  Record the changes in our communications patterns.  They might even flush out some of our agents.

And all with no risk to the Chicoms.  Their puppet does the dirty work.  In fact, I expect Communist China will step in and appear to get Kim settled down and back into his box.  Then, they will emerge appearing as heroic, reasonable, even perhaps allied with us on this.  The lap-dog American press will sing their praises.  President Obama will host them and publicly thank them.  The lapdog press will praise President Obama for ushering in a new era of US-China cooperation.

With the Chicoms, what you see is never what they are really doing.  This is no criticism of them; it is merely an observation of their history and philosophy as applied to strategy and tactics.  Deceive, feint, trick, exploit weaknesses.

I admire them for it.  I hope we understand what they are doing, and that we are playing them for fools with all of this run-up to North Korean holocaust.

I doubt it.
