Walesa's Warning

Leaders: The champion of Polish freedom tells America it's no longer that shining city on a hill. As it slouches toward socialism, he warns, those yearning to breathe free in the world can no longer look to the U.S. for help.

They were the giants of their age. Together, President Ronald Reagan, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Pope John Paul II and a little known shipyard worker named Lech Walesa stood up to Soviet communism and brought freedom to the captive nations of Europe.

Last Friday, Walesa was in Chicago campaigning for a GOP gubernatorial candidate in the Illinois primary who happened to be Polish. Arguably the father of Polish democracy, Walesa knows a little bit about tyranny, socialism and the slippery path to both, and came to warn us about the path we've been on.

In a press conference, Walesa commented on an America that seemingly apologizes for everything these days, cajoles rather than confronts the thugs of the world and is embarked on a path to shackle beyond redemption the free economy that led the Free World to victory.

He no longer thinks we are the last best hope for mankind.

"The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it, militarily," the Polish leader said. "They also lead economically, but they're getting weak.

"But they don't lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we lost that hope."

Walesa led the Solidarity movement in Poland. He was in a sense a community organizer, but not in the mold of a Saul Alinsky. He sought to liberate his people, not control them.

The marches and protests that led to Polish freedom were a precursor to America's tea party movement that likewise seeks to throw off the chains of a command-and-control society and restore genuine economic and political freedom.

The Soviet empire had its commissars. Our government has its czars, and Walesa definitely feels the America that was his friend is moving in the wrong direction. He sees our quest for redistribution of income as not different from the Marxist credo — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

In a video-taped interview, Walesa saw a hint of socialism creeping into America's domestic policies. He spoke of "the issue with the banks" and how "the government wastes all the money ... building a bureaucracy — just for itself."

Indeed, it seems the only growth sector in the U.S. is its government and the unions that exist not for the prosperity and freedom of their members, but for the power and influence of their leaders.

Poland had Lech Walesa. We have the SEIU's Andy Stern ,who says that if those who disagree with command-and-control government do not bow to the power of persuasion, they will bow to the persuasion of power.

It has been a long journey for Walesa from the Gdansk Lenin Shipyards to Chicago's Back of the Yards. He's the man who turned an illegal independent trade union into a force for freedom in communist Poland. He served as Poland's president from 1990 to 1995.

He has witnessed a lot of history and knows when people refuse to learn from it.

In Walesa's view, something needs to be done to restore America's strength and leadership. America, in his view, is too big to fail.

Obama Scrapping Missile Defense Shield in Europe

The Obama administration is shelving a European missile defense plan that has been a major irritant in relations with Russia, a U.S. ally said Thursday. The Pentagon confirmed a "major adjustment" is planned. Jan Fischer, the prime minister of the Czech Republic, one of two countries where the system was to be built, told reporters that Obama phoned him overnight to say "his government is pulling out of plans to build a missile defense radar on Czech territory."

Obama Defends Decision to Shelve European Missile Shield

President Obama defended a decision to shelve plans for a missile defense system in Eastern Europe, saying the new plan will provide "stronger, smarter and swifter" defenses against Iran, which recent intelligence suggests is developing short- and medium-range missiles.

Atomic Watchdog: Iran Can Build Nukes

A secret report from the United Nations' nuclear watchdog warns that Iran has the ability to make a nuclear bomb and is developing a missile system to carry it -- an assessment that could call into question the Obama administration's claim on Thursday that the biggest threat from Iran comes from its short- and medium-range missiles.

Just hours after President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced that they were shelving plans for a missile defense shield in Eastern Europe because of Iran's shift in strategy, the Associated Press revealed details of the secret report by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It says Iran has "sufficient information" to build a bomb.

Greta Van Susteren travelled to Honduras Yesterday…

An e-mail from Honduras…

Hello Greta,

On behalf of all Hondurans that support and defend our Constitution I would like to take the time in thanking you for interviewing President Micheletti. We've been trying so hard for the American people to hear us out about the true facts of what happened and what is going on in our beloved country. I would also like to say that what President Micheletti stated on your show is 100% accurate.

Sec Hillary Clinton and President Obama have been working hard to reinstate Zelaya, but as Micheletti stated, Zelaya was like a brother to Hugo Chavez and the goal was probably to execute a takeover like what has happened in Venezuela. The question here, I guess, is are Clinton and Obama completely misinformed, or is this just part of Obama’s radical ant-American, anti-freedom agenda??

Zelaya violated our Constitution and broke the law. He was no longer president when he was arrested. It's time for the people of the world to know truly what is going on and hopefully this interview is a great start for us in fulfilling that purpose. Zelaya is giving this noble country a very bad image and rep. We Hondurans feel embarrassed and ashamed for all the lies he's been telling in every single interview or speech he gets to make. We pray to God that the elections being held in November will finally put an end to all of this and we hope that the true Americans will recognize our newly elected president arising from those legitimate elections.

One million thanks again for everything. Honduras hopes you're well and God bless!

Another Email…

Greta: You asked if President and Secretary Clinton had made a mistake in supporting the ousted Honduran president. You may be certain that no 'mistake' was made. They will continue to support socialist/Marxist leaders wherever they are found. A violation of the Honduran Constitution? OK. So what? The end-game of our current administration is to violate our own Constitution and write their own.

He said that “the United States is definitely less safe than it was 2-years ago!!!”

Obama helps strengthen General Electric-Putin ties

(AP Photo/Alexei Nikolsky, Pool)

Reuters reports an interesting nugget in the wake of President Barack Obama's decision to grant Vladimir Putin his wish and kill the Eastern European missile shield:

Shortly after the pullback on the shield program was announced, Russia's government said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would meet several U.S. executives on Friday from firms including General Electric, Morgan Stanley as well as TPG, one of the world's largest private equity firms. GE also owns NBC, MSNBC, CNBC and is in line for the contract to manage all heath records if ObamaCare (any of the present bills being considered) passes, giving the government total access to your health information and history as well as your bank account. They also are inline to receive huge Cap and Trade Contracts if that bill passes. The GE Combine will make Enron look like kindergartners play!

General Electric may be the company with the closest ties to the Obama administration (if not, GE is second only to Goldman Sachs), and here we see the company benefiting from an abrupt foreign policy change made by President Obama. But GE isn't the only company benefiting. Reuters paints the broader picture:

"U.S. companies have arguably lost out to some European companies in joint ventures, and better diplomacy will likely improve the chances for investors in the strategic sectors of the Russian economy," said Carlo Gallo, senior Russia analyst at London-based consultancy Control Risks.
