Emboldened Iran Is Making War Moves

Gee, it’s just peachy that we are giving Iran additional time to go completely nuclear. And we are giving them billions in dollars to help them out. Don’t want them to run short when they get ready to take out Israel, you know… Iran could have a bomb in as short a time as 2 to 3 weeks – Israel estimates 1 to 2 months. As we give them trust and money, they are vowing to annihilate Israel. That makes us complicit in the planning and carrying out of genocide.

It’s not just Israel though… the Great Satan is definitely in Iran’s battle plans for war. They have been strengthening ties with Cuba, Venezuela and Bolivia – guaranteed to bring terrorism to our homefront and Obama will have American blood all over his hands – again.

Solidly, over the past week, Iranian media outlets have been highlighting a 10-day visit to Latin America by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for European and American Affairs, Majid Takht Ravanchi. The Cuban government can’t wait to cuddle with the Iranian theocrats and become ‘strategic partners.’ They are spouting the same tired old rhetoric that the Iranians have every right to nuclear power. What they really mean is, they have every right to a nuclear bomb and global aggression. The line is long to join the Axis of Evil these days apparently.

Under the guise of strengthening trade and economic expansion, despots will unite across the globe with a common goal. The destruction of the free world and the rise of communism and theocratic totalitarianism. Iran’s Fars News blathered on about Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro who “described Iran as a great power that deserves special respect.” That’s communist respect. Mass murdering asshats have to stick together after all. A hot topic was ending the hegemonic powers’ monopoly on world resources. In other words, taking what is America’s and giving it to the more deserving communists. That is what redistribution of wealth is all about. It’s not helping the poor… it’s helping communist regimes.

To further their goals, Iran will use Hezbollah as their terrorist weapon of choice:

But some have warned that greater Iranian engagement in Latin American could also spur more terrorist activity from its proxy Shiite terrorist group, Hezbollah.

U.S. officials and national security experts told TheBlaze in September that they believe Iran is recruiting an “invisible army” of revolutionary sympathizers in Latin America to one day infiltrate the U.S. through the “soft belly” of the southern border.

As TheBlaze reported, “The Iranian regime’s conversion efforts are becoming increasingly aggressive, especially over the Internet, with the goal of conducting operations against United States interests in the Western Hemisphere, according to U.S. government officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the nature of their work in the region.”

During a March hearing of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, Roger F. Noriega, former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs under President George W. Bush, testified, “It is said that wherever Iran goes, Hezbollah is not far behind.”

“Hezbollah is not a lone wolf. In this Hemisphere it counts on the political, diplomatic, material and logistical support of governments – principally Venezuela and Iran – that have little in common but their hostility to the United States,” said Noriega, who is now with the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute.

The terrorist group uses smuggling, money laundering, and fundraising in collaboration with Latin American “well-financed narcotraffickers and guerrilla groups,” Noriega said. Furthermore, the Venezuelan state airline, Conviasa, runs regular flights from Caracas to Damascus and Tehran, “providing Iran, Hezbollah, and associated narcotraffickers a surreptitious means to move personnel, weapons, contraband and other materiel.”

As Amnesty is shoved down our throats to make the wealthy, wealthier, while providing a permanent slave class for big business and a cemented, never ending get out the Marxist vote; our open borders will enable these terrorists to strike constantly at the US with very little to stop them. Blood will flow and the body count will rise… our government will blame it on the Second Amendment and TEA Party extremists. But they won’t blame it on Hezbollah, Iran, radical Jihadists, communists, Progressives or anything that it actually is. Progressive Republicans and Democrats will wring their blood stained hands and flout their impotence while hiding within their fortified retreats and places of power. The rest of us will be on our own and fighting not only for our country, but for our lives and the lives of those we care about. And so it will go until we either fall as a country or wrest control back into the hands of patriots from the Marxist ruling class. If you don’t want this to become reality, we had better stop this Amnesty push and fast. Obamacare has already destroyed the greatest health system in the world and our economy – Amnesty will finish us off.

While this drama unfolds, Iran is now sending two warships into the Atlantic on a feigned ‘good will tour.’ And pigs fly. This is a first for Iran, who has long wanted to expand their military presence across the globe. All the better to launch EMPs with, don’t ya know.

From TheBlaze:

Iran is moving a group of warships to the Atlantic Ocean for the first time in the country’s history, as its navy held a ceremony on Tuesday in honor of the launch, Iranian media are reporting.

The semi-official Fars News Agency reported that Iranian Navy Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Seyed Mahmoud Moussavi told the sailors gathered in southern Iran that the flotilla bears a message of peace and friendship to the world and aims to demonstrate the Islamic Republic’s defensive power.

“The flotilla, which is the first dispatched to the Atlantic, but the 29th one dispatched to the international waters, consists of Khark logistic and helicopter-carrier warship and Sabalan destroyer. The warships should sail 25,000 nautical kilometers in the next three months,” Fars reported on Tuesday.

The ships will also carry some 30 navy academy cadets in training, according to the Associated Press, which quoted Iranian television.

The Iranian news service says that this is the first flotilla of warships heading to the Atlantic, though Iran has long expressed a desire to make its naval mark in the western hemisphere.

Neither Fars nor Iranian TV said if the ships would be docking in any countries on the Atlantic shores.

As justification (very, very weak at that), Iran says this is in response to the US naval deployment near Iran’s coast in the Persian Gulf. Don’t forget that Iran threatened to deploy ships off the US coast in 2011. So, this has been on the drawing board for a long time.

An emboldened Iran is making war moves and forging alliances in Latin America, while we do nothing. This is far worse than the Cuban missile crisis. Don’t our leaders have a responsibility, morally and strategically, to protect us from terrorism rather than welcoming it into our country? Why would you do away with the Monroe Doctrine unless you wanted America attacked from across the border (or you were on drugs and dreaming of Lotus land — anyone seen Biden lately). Why aren’t more in the halls of Congress demanding action on this? Sometimes I wonder if Americans are so detached from reality that we have lost our sense of survival – our gift of fear of what is real and threatening us. Since our current leadership seems unwilling to protect Americans and their families, we need to put true conservatives in power in 2014 and 2016 who have a spine and will do what needs to be done. This time, we dare not settle for less.

Thoughts on Syria… From All Sides

This Is About Destroying Sovereignty’: Beck Examines Potential Syria Strike Through the Eyes of a ‘Radical Leftist’

Many have been alarmed by the rapid escalation in Syria this week after years of horrific violence. With the reported use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime, U.S. officials say America could begin missile strikes within the week.

But why now? What exactly do we hope to achieve?

Glenn Beck tackled the issue on his television program Wednesday evening, arguing that the focus of the administration may not be on the war itself — but on the subsequent layout of the world.

“This administration knows that we are on the brink of World War III. The global economy is fragile, global stability is weak, the west is on the edge, it’s only a matter of time before it crumbles,” he said. “Iran will eventually lose any remaining restraint and go after Israel, Syria starts spilling across the border… When it all falls apart and the west is so weakened, who puts it all back together again?”

“War is — after a long period of just running things into the ground — war makes the people of the world forget what the world was like before the war,” Beck continued. “Beyond that, history shows us that war also changes all the players. It changes borders, it changes everything…”

He speculated that after a period of violence, we will “gather at the U.N. because we have to stop an international crisis, and everything is teetering on the edge, and people will cry out, ‘stop the madness!’ And so we do, the international way.”

If we’re not listening to China now, Beck said he guarantees we’ll listen to them at the bargaining table, and we’ll concede. If they say, for instance, we’ll forgive your debts if you just sign the U.N. Arms Treaty, we will.

“This is about destroying sovereignty,” Beck asserted. “The United Nations will, in the end, broker the deal, making them the new superpower and making us just one of the guys. That’s what everybody wants, for the United States just to be average, just like everybody else…”

Considering alternate explanations, Beck said he can think of “a million reasons” why we shouldn’t intervene, “and not one why we should.”

Intervention, he said, will further destabilize Syria, further destabilize the region, and will likely impact our gas prices and the stock market.

If we are intervening purely for humanitarian purposes, why didn’t we intervene sooner? Why don’t we intervene in other cases of mass slaughter? And if the tipping point is truly chemical weapons, Beck asked if you trust the intelligence community more or less than the last time they claimed there were weapons of mass destruction?

Remember the guy who cut his enemy’s heart out and ate it, Beck added? “We’re on his side now.”

The list goes on, Beck said, including the financial cost of the endeavor and the possibility of dragging us into another war we don’t have the energy or resources for.

“Syria is not about teaching Assad a lesson. Two days of bombing probably won’t even seem out of place in Syria today, unfortunately,” he concluded. “Syria is not a response to the shock and horror of murder — hundreds of thousands have died… Syria is this — it is a sick opportunity for the globalist progressive revolutionaries in our own administration and all around the globe to remold the world closer to their heart’s desire.”

Two Minds on Syria

The New Yorker: So it looks like we’re going to bomb Assad.

Good.

Really? Why good?

Did you see the videos of those kids? I heard that ten thousand people were gassed. Hundreds of them died. This time, we have to do something.

Yes, I saw the videos.

And you don’t want to pound the shit out of him?

I want to pound the shit out of him.

But you think we shouldn’t do anything.

I didn’t say that. But I want you to explain what we’re going to achieve by bombing.

We’re going to let Assad know that chemical weapons are over the line. There’s a reason they’ve been illegal since Verdun or whenever.

Except when Saddam used them against the Kurds—we knew, and we didn’t say a word.

Is that a reason to let Assad use them against his people?

At this point, I don’t think Assad is too worried about the Geneva Conventions.

He should have to think hard before using them again.

He’s a bloody dictator fighting for survival. He’s going to do whatever he has to do.

Not if we really hurt him. Not if we pound his communications centers, his air-force bases, key government installations. He’ll be more likely to survive if he doesn’t use chemical weapons.

Killing civilians while we’re at it.

These would be very specific targets.

The wrong people always get killed.

Maybe. Probably. But if you were a Syrian being bombed by Assad every day, trying to keep your head down and your family alive, wouldn’t you want the world to respond, even if a few more people die? I think so.

Easy for you to say.

Hey, can we not personalize this?

Weren’t you just saying that I don’t care about dying children? (Pause.) So you want us to get involved in their civil war.

I’m not saying that.

But that’s what we’ll be doing. Intervening on the rebel side, tipping the balance in their favor.

Not necessarily. We’ll be drawing a line that says dictators don’t get to use W.M.D.s without consequences.

You can’t bomb targets on one side of a civil war without helping the other side.

It would be very temporary. We’d send Assad a clear message, and then we’d step back and let them go on fighting. We’re not getting involved any deeper than that, because I know what you’re going to say—

The rebels are a bunch of infighting, disorganized, jihadist thugs, and we can’t trust any of them.

I’m not saying we should.

And what do we do if Assad retaliates against Israel or Turkey? Or if he uses nerve gas somewhere else?

We hit him again.

And it escalates.

Not if we restrict it to cruise missiles and air strikes.

Now you’re scaring me. Have you forgotten Iraq?

Not for a single minute.

My point is that you can’t restrict it. You can’t use force for limited goals. You need to know what you’ll do after his next move, and the move after that.

It only escalates if we allow ourselves to get dragged in deeper. Kosovo didn’t escalate.

This isn’t Kosovo. The Syrian rebels aren’t the K.L.A. Assad isn’t Milosevic. Putin isn’t Yeltsin. This is far worse. Kosovo became a U.N. protectorate. That’s not going to happen in Syria.

You think Putin is going to risk a military confrontation with the U.S. and Europe?

I think Russia isn’t going to let Assad go down. Neither is Iran or Hezbollah. So they’ll escalate. This could be the thing that triggers an Israel-Iran war, and how do we stay out of that? My God, it feels like August, 1914.

That was a hundred years ago. Stop with the historical analogies.

You’re the one who brought up Verdun. And Kosovo.

I brought up Kosovo because you brought up Iraq. That’s the problem with these arguments. Iraq! Vietnam! Valley Forge! Agincourt! People resort to analogies so they don’t have to think about the matter at hand.

And because they don’t know anything about the matter at hand.

I know what I saw in those videos.

Thank God Obama doesn’t make foreign policy that way. He knows what he doesn’t know about Syria. He’s always thinking a few steps ahead. He’s not going to get steamrolled by John McCain and Anderson Cooper.

At a certain point, caution is another word for indecisiveness. Obama looks weak! Or worse—indifferent. Anyway, he should have thought ahead when he called chemical weapons a “red line.” He set that trap a year ago, and now we’re in it.

Why does it have to be a trap?

Because our credibility is on the line.

Thank you, Dr. Kissinger.

See, that’s another thing people do in these arguments.

What?

“You sound like so-and-so.” It shouldn’t matter who else is on your side. I mean, you’re in bed with Rand Paul. Anyway, credibility matters even if Kissinger said so. You have to do what you say you’re going to do, especially with bullies.

I don’t think Obama committed himself to any one course of action. But if he does bomb them, we’re involved in that war, and I sure hope his advisers have thought through all the potential consequences better than you have.

Inaction has consequences, too. Assad gases more people, the death toll hits two hundred thousand, the weapons get into Hezbollah’s hands, Iran moves ahead with its nuclear program, the Syrian rebels disintegrate and turn to international terrorism, the whole region goes up in sectarian flames.

And how does firing cruise missiles at Damascus prevent any of this?

It doesn’t. But, look, all of this is already happening with us sitting it out. If we put a gun to Assad’s head, we might be able to have more influence over the outcome. At least we can prevent him from winning.

A violent stalemate. How wonderful for the Syrians. Some people think that’s the best solution for us.

I’m not saying that.

What are you saying?

I don’t know. I had it worked out in my head until we started talking. (Pause.) But we need to do something this time.

Not just to do something.

All right. Not just to do something. But could you do me a favor?

What’s that?

While you’re doing nothing, could you please be unhappy about it?

I am.

He even sent another American ship towards Syria, a destroyer escort.The Russians already have a fleet of warships headed that way.

So what happened?  There is very little support by Americans to enter the Syrian Civil War… In a new HuffPo poll, conducted after U.S. officials claimed Syria's government killed thousands of civilians with chemical weapons, shows 25 percent of Americans now support air strikes to aid rebels in Syria, while 41 percent said they are opposed. Another 34 percent said that they're not sure.  Germany I also a thumbs down along with Britain and France.

The only logical conclusion is that the truth about the scandals Obama is attempting to divert attention from, by getting involved in Syria, are probably a lot worse than any of us thought.  Time for more investigation!!

Hillary Doesn't Deserve Our Admiration or Another Shot at the Presidency

America is ready for her first female president, assuming there will be a 2016 Election, but Hillary Clinton is not the right choice!!

By Marion Algier – AskMarion

WND: Americans, Gallup tells us, admire Hillary Clinton more than any other woman in the world – again. This latest accolade marks the 17th time Gallup has found Clinton to be the Most Admired Woman (MAW?) since she became first lady nearly 20 years ago. Only Eleanor Roosevelt (13 MAWs) comes close. Only Mother Teresa (1995 and 1996) and Laura Bush (2001) have interrupted Clinton’s winning streak, and even then, Clinton came in second.

And therein lies America’s cosmic flaw. A country that could time and again embrace Hillary Clinton as its MAW has lost its mind or its memory or both.

Does the phrase “congenital liar” tinkle any bells? I know such non-admirable sentiments are thought to be in the worst of taste, if not also banishable offenses. Still, as conjured by the late New York Times columnist William Safire in 1996, the phrase described the then-first lady for her shameless prevarications. These included what sure looked like bribery (“cattle futures”), defrauding taxpayers (“Whitewater”), obstructing justice – or, rather, “finding” her Rose Law Firm billing records (under subpoena for two years) just days after the statute of limitations ran out – among other corrupt behaviors that must have slightly suppressed Hillary-admiration that same year. The phrase remains apt.

“I remember landing under sniper fire,” Clinton declared on the presidential campaign trail in 2008, describing a 1996 trip to Bosnia. “There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down (chuckles) to get into the vehicles to get to our base.” It was a vivid but debunkable whopper, as CBS footage of the event proved. In reality, Clinton, accompanied by daughter Chelsea, made her ceremonial way into Bosnia through a warm throng marked by smiling faces and a kiss from a local girl – not bullets. Admirable?

On a more nationally significant level, Clinton recently supported President Obama’s Big Lie that a movie trailer of “Innocence of Muslims” on YouTube “resulted” (her word) in the September attack on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya – a concerted falsehood for which neither Clinton nor Obama nor former CIA Director David Petraeus has yet answered. Even several days after intelligence agencies determined that a planned assault, not a video-driven protest, had taken place, Clinton went so far as to promise a grieving Charles Woods, father of slain former SEAL Tyrone Woods, that “we” were going to have the video maker “arrested and prosecuted.”

Why was Clinton still perpetuating the false narrative that the exercise of free speech under the First Amendment, not Islamic jihad, had resulted in the attack? Was that admirable? Clinton has lately let it be known that she will voluntarily testify about Benghazi following her hospitalization for a blood clot, but I seriously doubt whether mere House members will risk asking this crucial question of the Most Admired Woman in America, especially now that she has risen from her sickbed. If they don’t, they’re not admirable, either.

Meanwhile, the video maker, Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, was indeed arrested and swiftly prosecuted, and is now serving one year in jail for “parole violations.” His incarceration, however, is better understood as punishment for violating the Islamic ban on free speech about Islam. To be sure, one year is nothing compared to the death penalty an Egyptian court recently slapped on Nakoula and other Americans associated with the movie in absentia – and without a peep of protest from the Obama administration, including Clinton.

The fact is, Hillary Clinton has worked assiduously with the Islamic bloc nations, known as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), to promote Islamically correct speech codes through the so-called Istanbul Process. The goal of this process – and the goal of transnational Islam – is to implement Shariah speech codes via U.N. Human Rights Council Resolution 16/18, which seeks to criminalize “defamation” – free speech – about Islam. In leading this drive against free speech, Hillary Clinton is actually leading a drive against the First Amendment.

Most Americans don’t know about the Istanbul Process, let alone how Islamic speech codes are unconstitutional, but it is this policy against free speech that may stand as Clinton’s enduring legacy as secretary of state. It is of a piece with having presided over, first, the shredding of U.S. alliances with Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak and Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi and then supporting jihadist factions and organizations, such as the Muslim Brotherhood, now implementing Islamic law across the Middle East. This, of course, is President Obama’s policy, but Hillary Clinton has been an active team player.

Another aspect of this same foreign policy Clinton has spearheaded is the launch of the Global Counterterrorism Forum. The forum’s roster of 29 nations plus the European Union is stunning for its exclusion of Israel, a leading counterterrorism force as much as it is a leading terrorism victim. But not so, according to Islamic definitions. Knowingly or not, as a leader of this forum, one-third of whose members come from the Islamic bloc, Clinton has accepted the Arab League and OIC definitions of terrorism, which both deny the existence of Israeli victims (sometimes U.S. soldiers) and legitimize the terrorism of Hamas, a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Hezbollah.

How could this be? What influences have led Clinton to formulate or follow such policies? We don’t know, although it is hard not to wonder about the input of top Clinton aide Huma Abedin, a young woman with well-established familial and personal ties to Muslim Brotherhood figures and front groups (including a “charity” linked to al-Qaida and a group banned in Israel for ties to Hamas). Indeed, what may be most astounding and mysterious about Clinton’s whole public tenure is how Abedin ever received the security clearance necessary to work so closely with the secretary of state.

Even broaching such a simple if burning national security question, as Rep. Michele Bachmann and others discovered last summer, is also a banishable offense. After all, Hillary Clinton is our MAW!

That’s life. But it isn’t admirable.

Don’t believe it?  Just take a look at this…

Hillary Clinton's Brain Injury Makes It Impossible For Her To Commit Perjury… Really?  Now Isn’t That Convenient?!?

Tea Party Nation: A bipartisan report by the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, “Flashing Red: A Special Report on the Terrorist Attack at Benghazi,” finds that the State Department made “a grievous mistake” in not permanently or temporarily closing the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, “despite the inability of the Libyan government to fulfill its duties to secure the facility [and] the increasingly dangerous threat assessments” – and that there were no contingency plans to get military help to Benghazi in the event of an attack against U.S. facilities, The Washington Times reports.

In mid-December, an investigation of the terror attack ordered by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also concluded that because of “[s]ystemic failures and leadership and management deficiencies” the security posture at the Benghazi consulate was “grossly inadequate to deal with the attack that took place” and that there had been “no protest” prior to the attack. Curiously, Clinton was not asked what she knew about the attack as it unfolded or the next morning – at which point, she had made two statements about “inflammatory material posted on the Internet” as being the cause – or even in the following days, as her repeated references to a “reprehensible video” touched off violent protests at U.S. embassies in more than two dozen countries.

Thanks to a well-timed concussion – that reportedly occurred when dehydration from a bout of “stomach flu” (an idiomatic expression for gastroenteritis, which is caused by a virus, bacteria, parasites in spoiled food or contaminated water), contracted in Europe caused Clinton to faint – she will not be testifying on these and other murky matters before Congress any time soon. Former United Nations envoy John Bolton called Clinton’s malady a “diplomatic illness” that allowed her to duck an unpleasant duty; to the New York Post “Clinton’s story beggars belief”; and talk radio host Laura Ingraham dubbed her injury an “immaculate concussion.” Count The Stiletto amongst the skeptics for many reasons – all medical, not political – some of which she stated in a succession of Facebook posts on December 15^th, including these two:

Dehydration to the degree that causes loss of consciousness should be accompanied by an electrical disturbance in the brain if not an outright epileptic seizure and/or a heart rhythm abnormality because of a severe electrolyte imbalance. Or she could have had an ischemic stroke, as she is rather overweight and underexercised. Or she could have fainted because of advanced mitral valve prolapse. These are all very serious medical issues that require diagnostic testing w/MRI and EEG scans, blood chemistry and cardiac rhythm monitoring to determine if a heart rhythm disturbance threw off a clot that went to the brain. If none of this testing is done over next 48 hours then I call bullsh*t on this very convenient concussion. …

Bottom line: A woman her age who faints would be kept in the hospital for a couple of days to undergo a battery of cardiac and brain scans, bloodwork and other assessments. If this testing is not done it suggests her medical issue (a) never happened; (b) isn't serious enough to prevent her from testifying before Congress; or (c) meant to ensure that there is no evidence to contradict a claim that she cannot remember the Benghazi episode clearly apart from what she read in the media so as not to foreclose this avenue of being able to avoid perjury charges should she ever be compelled to testify in a Congressional probe or a civil lawsuit brought by the parents of any of the four Americans killed in Benghazi.

Clinton was hospitalized Sunday night to get the testing she should have had when she fainted two weeks ago – the CDC advises, “a brief loss of consciousness should be taken seriously” and the NIH considers fainting amongst “emergency symptoms” requiring “immediate medical care.” But the statement given to the press about Clinton’s hospitalization Sunday night raised additional questions because her spokesperson Philippe Reines refused to state the location of the blood clot doctors found “during an exam to follow up on a concussion she suffered.”

The next day, Reines confirmed that the blood clot is inside her skull, but had not caused a stroke or other neurological damage, The Washington Post reports:

“The scan revealed that a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed. This is a clot in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear,” the statement said. …

Doctors Lisa Bardack of the Mt. Kisco Medical Group and Gigi El-Bayoumi of George Washington University said they are treating Clinton with blood thinners and that she will remain hospitalized until her medication regimen is established.

“Right transverse sinus venous thrombosis” is an artful way of referring to a rare type of stroke – known variously as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis, (superior) sagittal sinus thrombosis, dural sinus thrombosis and intracranial venous thrombosis – that can be caused by infection, dehydration and local trauma, amongst other predisposing factors. How unusual is Clinton’s case? CVST accounts for 0.5 percent to 1 percent of strokes; 22 percent of cases occur in those age 50 and older; 8-10 percent of cases are associated with infections; CVST caused by trauma is so uncommon as to be thought of as a freak occurrence.

Because CVST is what doctors call a “zebra” – and in a patient Clinton’s age, you’re looking at an albino zebra – delays in diagnosis are “common and significant,” according to The American Heart Association: “The median delay from onset of symptoms to hospital admission was 4 days, and from symptom onset to diagnosis, it was 7 days.” The main symptom is headache, which gets progressively worse until a patient seeks medical care; seizures and vision loss are also common symptoms.

Unlike other blood clots in the brain, CVST is treated with blood thinners rather than with a procedure that is similar to clearing a blocked coronary artery. Clinton was discharged from the hospital Wednesday evening, and is expected to recover from CVST without lasting impairment – but it may be a different story for the concussion that caused the complication in the first place.

A concussion can cause memory loss (amnesia) of events before or right after the injury, and recovery could take several months, during which time difficulty concentrating and memory problems could persist. Clinton plans to return to work next week, and an anonymous State Department source insists that she “remains committed” to testifying before Congress. But it seems a pointless exercise if she can’t remember key details – which obviates the plans of Senate Republicans to hold up Sen. John Kerry’s confirmation as her replacement until they hear her side of the Benghazi story.

And if she is compelled to answer an interrogatory or to testify in a wrongful death suit brought by one or more of the families of the Americans killed in the Benghazi attack, Clinton can – hypothetically, of course – perjure herself at will by prefacing her testimony with a caveat that her recollections have been affected by her brain injury. It’s easy to see who’s got all the brains in the Clinton family.

We are being played in typical Clinton fashion with the liberal media running interference at every point.  Former United Nations’ Ambassador John Bolton recognized the game from day one but few in the media, beside Fox News, aired his comments; the few who did attacked him.

Benghazi Alert: How Can Americans Trust a Commander in Chief Like This… With Our Country… Our Lives… Our Children and Grandchildren? We Cannot!

Although many realized immediately that Benghazi was a terrorist attack and that the Obama administration knew about the attacks on 9/11 within hours if not beforehand, but the day after the last presidential debate of 2012, and every day since, we have learned of emails and additional details that broke the news definitively that the Obama administration watched our Embassy being attacked and our Ambassador and 3 other Americans being murdered in real time, yet they told groups and people who could have helped to stand down.  We also now know definitively that President Obama and Hillary Clinton lied to the American people as well as to the the parents of those killed in Benghazi… and that presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who was vilified by the Obama administration over his comments on the event, was right.

Video:  Leaks, Lies, Libya…Lack of Leadership

If there was any question that President Obama was an amateur, incompetent or had no problem lying to the American people this event answers those questions and doubts.  President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s entire foreign policy has unraveled before our eyes since 9/11/2012.  If it was not so close to an election, they should be impeached… recalled… fired. But with election of 2012 being less than two weeks away, these events should seal the deal… yet the mainstream media is still protecting the president.

Senator McCain says Obama’s Libya handling is either a ‘massive coverup’ or gross incompetence verifying that President Obama is The Amateur many have accused him of being or The Great Destroyer believed of him by others.  Either way America is in trouble and we cannot survive another four years with Barack Hussein Obama at the helm.

Wake-up America… we cannot have a Commander in Chief (or a secretary of state) who watches Americans being killed in real time and does nothing, and then lies about it over and over again.  If America does not elect Mitt Romney after these events, on top of everything else we know… and don’t know about this president, there aren’t words to describe what history will say about us! Team Obama is doing everything possible to keep Benghazigate from unraveling before the election and the lap dog media is juggling for positions to help him, but thanks to Fox News, insiders and Charles Woods, the father of murdered Tyrone Woods, the truth is out there for those paying attention.  Help get the word out.  America’s life as a free and great nation and your children and grandchildren’s freedoms depend on Romney-Ryan winning on November 6th, 2012!

Why Do They Want Us Disarmed?

Updated: 07.17.12

Having left England and spilling their blood for individual freedoms our Founding Fathers knew the value of freedom and therefore gave us the Bill of Rights, a Republic and a Constitution that would protect the people, if ‘We the People’ were smart enough to remain engaged and educate future generations… but we haven’t done either.  They knew that Freedom of Speech and the Right to Bear Arms were essential for the average man (person) to remain free. Dictators know that as well, so they take away both as soon as they can! That is the plan of the Progressives controlling our country and elites controlling the world.

Western Journalism:

Americans need a severe case of Alley Oopism.

Alley Oop. Do you remember Alley Oop of funny paper and song fame? He carried a big stick and didn't walk softly. He tore the limbs off of trees.

Mr. Oop was capable of defending himself, his family, and his property. He had a big stick. Down through the ages, improvements were made in self-defense implements. Spears, bows and arrows, catapults, sling shots, etc. were invented and used. These same tools could be used for offensive purposes, also. And evil men, usually in the form of a government but sometimes other forms of gangs, used these tools of destruction to force others to comply with their demands. Demands they had no right to make. “Pay the taxes I deem necessary – or else!” Some complied, some didn't. Those who didn't were killed or banished from their land. Those who complied were treated with disrespect, and ever more demands were made until their lives were not their own. They were and are slaves. But they were and are called Freemen.

A government was instituted among men by men who understood the need for self-defense. The people had and still have the right to defend themselves from thugs of all kinds. In an amendment of the founding documents, spelled out very clearly is a guarantee that the government has no power to interfere with the natural right of every citizen to his or her own self-defense in whatever mode might be available. The latest technology is available to the private individual as well as to the police and military.

Since the establishment of that government, and even prior to that establishment, men and women have had weapons for self-defense. The same type of weapons has been used for destruction as well. A very few men and women go about killing each other for the flimsiest reasons. As a result of people killing each other, some nincompoops have coalesced into various groups with the intent to deprive those of us with a little common sense of our right to self-defense.

Amendment II of the Constitution of the United States of America prohibits the government of any power to interfere with our natural right to self-defense – the defense of ourselves, our families, and our property. Even Alley Oop, a Neanderthal man brought to the 20th century by a time machine, knew he had that right.

Currently, in our federal government, our hirelings and agents are debating whether or not they should give an International Agency the power to regulate our Natural right to own implements of self-defense. The people of this nation, in whose name the elected officials act, did not grant any power or right to their representatives, agents, or hirelings to even debate the action, let alone actually taking a vote on the subject. This is a sovereign nation. We rule ourselves. It is not up to a foreign entity such as the United Nations, or a treaty with other nations, to regulate the actions of the American People. We are a self-regulating group of adult men and women and are fully capable of making our own decisions about what we own or don't own. We do not need the input from an agent of a foreign nation such as Iran or China to tell us how to conduct our daily lives.

On the 27th of this month, the Senate will be voting on whether or not to give the power to an entity other than ourselves to regulate our daily lives and tell us what we can and cannot own. The members of the Senate do not have the right or the power to make such a commitment. We should tell them so.

Alley Oop had the common sense to obey the Natural Law of self-preservation. The fools that we have hired and sent to Washington, District of Criminals have not the common sense of a Neanderthal Man.

Hitler of Germany, Stalin of Russia, and Mao of China, among others, disarmed the citizens of their respective countries and then murdered them by the millions. 60,000,000 people were murdered in China alone, by one report. In light of these facts, one wonders why the Clintons, the Bushes, the Carters, and Our Fearless Golfer polluting the air in our house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D. C. are so determined to disarm the good people of the United States of America.

We were not invaded by Japan during World War II because the Emperor was aware that the Americans were well-armed and we would defend out land.

I would seem that our Neanderthal man, Mr. Oop, had more common sense than those who are now promoting the disarmament of the American People. People such as Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Our Fearless Golfer, the Queen of England, the various Ayatollahs, Castro, Mao, Chavez, and any number of people that are our sworn enemies want us disarmed for a reason. What could that reason be, do you think?

Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. When seconds count, it is best to be prepared to take care of oneself.

Only would-be-dictators and tyrants are afraid of the citizenry. Thomas Jefferson rode his horse daily out in public without guards. George Washington had no troop of armed guards. Andrew Jackson, however, needed guards; for he had made a formidable enemy for himself – the bankers. They wanted him dead.

The government has overstepped just one time too many, maybe, and a backlash is about to be let loose. And that government wants to disarm us. Be careful.

Thank you.

Sheriffs that Support Gun Control… God Help Us!

Idaho--and a Bingham County election...

Some things speak for themselves. Thanks to J.H., who posted the following elsewhere, but gave me permission to post it on my blog:

"Just before the Idaho primaries this past Tuesday, there was a forum where people were asking questions of the candidates for sheriff of Bingham County. When incumbent sheriff Dave Johnson was asked what he would do if the Federal Government mandated to take all firearms away from private citizens, he responded that he would have to comply with the feds. When candidate Craig Rowland was asked the same question, he responded that he would deputize every citizen who owned a firearm. Rowland got an applause and was elected Bingham County Sheriff this last Tuesday. Congratulations to Craig Rowland!"
Yeah. Gotta love Idaho.... :) And the Second Amendment. And the Constitution.

If any other sheriffs out there hadn't thought of this, I think that it's brilliant. After all, if a firearm is a part of your emergency preparation, you may find yourself in trouble if someone takes it away. There are many emergency situations where a firearm may be needed. In any case, if you are personally against firearms, please work out a plan where you have what you need for food procurement, etc. in case of such emergencies.

And hopefully, no matter what one thinks personally about firearms, they will vote for people who will uphold the Constitution and the freedoms we hold dear--and the right to bear arms is one of them

UN reveals its master plan for destruction of global economy

More dangerous than Al Qaeda

Former US secretary to the United Nations John Bolton once famously said: “The [UN] Secretariat building in New York has 38 stories. If it lost ten stories it wouldn’t make a bit of difference.” (H/T Milo)

But I’d say Bolton was being too modest in his aspirations. Far too modest. I’d suggest that if we lost all 38 stories the benefits to mankind would be almost incalculable. Right now, indeed, it’s likely that the United Nations poses a far greater threat to Western Civilization and the world’s economic future than Al Qaeda does. Have a glance at its latest report World Economic And Social Survey 2011 – and you’ll see what I mean.

The report argues that over the next 40 years our governments must spend an annual minimum of $1.9 trillion – that’s an eyewatering $76 trillion – steering the global economy onto the path of “green growth.”

But “Green growth” – as the report more or less acknowledges – is an oxymoron. That’s why, even though it was supervised by an alleged economist, Dutchman Rob Vos, the report is not at all ashamed to advocate limiting economic growth through rationing, punitive taxation and other forms of government intervention. Why? To combat “Climate Change”, of course.

Here’s the kicker:

“Hence, if, for instance, emission reduction targets cannot be met through accelerated technological progress in energy efficiency and renewable energy generation, it may be necessary to impose caps on energy consumption itself in order to meet climate change mitigation in a timely manner. Proposals to put limits on economic growth can be viewed in this context.” (P.19)

And if shaving off $1.9 trillion from the world economy each year (that’s 3 per cent of the world gross product in 2010) results in further economic stagnation and a lower standard of living for our children and grandchildren, well what the hell. As the report primly tells us, none of us actually needs to earn more than $10,000 a year. Anything more is greedy:

“For example, taking life expectancy as an objective measure of the quality of life, it can be seen that life expectancy does not increase much beyond a per capita income of about $10,000. Similarly…cross-country evidence suggests that there are no significant additional gains in human development (as measured by the human development index) beyond the energy-use level of about 110 gigajoules (GJ) (or two tons of oil equivalent (toe) per capita.”

Are they seriously suggesting that developed economies should ration their people’s energy use? They surely are:

“The Survey estimates that the emissions cap would be equivalent to primary energy consumer consumption of 70 gigajoules per capita per year, which means that the average European would have to cut his or her energy consumption by about half and the average resident of the US by about three quarters.”

So, instead of being able to enjoy a hot shower every day all you Americans, you’ll now confine your warm ablutions to weekends only. Same goes for air-con in summer. And heating in winter. Welcome to the New Green World Order.

What’s amazing about this stuff – and believe me, there’s plenty more where this came from – is the unblushing shamelessness with which it advocates this economic insanity. Here is the world’s most powerful intergovernmental institution essentially arguing for the destruction of the global economy, enforced rationing, Marxist wealth redistribution, greater regulation, the erosion of property rights and global governance by a new world order of technocrats and bureaucrats. And being so upfront about it they actually issue press releases, telling us what they’re planning to do and encouraging us to write about it.

This is the thing that amazed while I was researching my book Watermelons. If the global green movement is any kind of conspiracy, then it’s a conspiracy in plain sight. The people in power who are advancing its agenda – be it President Obama’s house eco-activists John Holdren and Carol Browner, Green MP Caroline Lucas, and all those faceless apparatchiks at the UN and the EU – make absolutely no bones about what it is that they want to do to save the world from the peril of “Climate Change”: the end of Industrial Civilization.

Which might be just about understandable if the crisis we were facing were so great that only the most extreme measures would suffice. But the crisis they describe is non-existent. As I argue in the second half of my book, economic growth and true environmentalism – as opposed to the sick, bastardised, warped, hair-shirt perversion of it currently being dumped on us by the Greenies – go hand in hand.

As economies grow richer, so they have more money to set aside for cleaner rivers, fresher air, as well as to invest in R & D projects for ever more eco-friendly forms of energy. It’s no coincidence that quite the worst environmental damage in the last century was done in those countries behind the Iron Curtain. Free market economies tend naturally to be cleaner and healthier because clean and healthy is what people choose anyway if they can afford it. They don’t need government to step in and take their money in order to spend it inefficiently trying to achieve something which would have happened quite naturally anyway.

What this ludicrous UN report is advocating is the exact opposite of what the world needs if it is to become genuinely greener. All those people in the developing world, if they’re to live healthier, less environmentally damaging lives the very last thing they need is hand-outs from richer economies. What they need is property rights and free trade and the chance to grow their economy to the point where – cf the Kuznets Curve – they can afford the luxury of having to breed fewer children and to heat and light their homes without having to chop down the nearest trees. What they also need for us in the rich West to have thriving economies in order that we can import more of their produce.

Rationing and limits to growth are not the answer. The UN is a menace and we listen to its eco-fascist ravings at our peril.
