Obama Vampire Diaries

Forrest Gump famously remarked, "Mama always said, "Stupid is as stupid does." You are what you do. Unfortunately, many do without even thinking--read on... George Carlin, Comedian & Social Critic

During the course of any day many different people normally offer the conciliatory "Hello, how are you?" greeting and then turn away without waiting for any reply, no intended insults taken either--everyone is polite, but busy. Occasionally conversations take up after the perfunctory salutations, then it can be an opportunity to share ideas about the weather or more substantive topics. 

Lately, however, I have realized that I have been in amongst an ever-growing population of the living dead; Vampires, a pejorative description for liberals who may appear to be regular people. Contrary to many popular misconceptions about the mythical Vampires, they can stand the light of day but not direct sunlight because they will sparkle showing what they really are--it sounds just like Vampire Liberals who cannot withstand any media spotlight highlighting their true colors, otherwise people should fear them as well.

The unfortunate tragedy here is that many of these Vampire Liberals are unaware they are transformed into the walking dead. They have been unknowingly programmed due to repeated exposure from a barrage of left-wing mainstream media assaults at home while inundated with propaganda under the auspices of the federally funded liberal school curriculums. The left-wing agenda has literally permeated the whole societal fiber of the citizenry today in order to control the politics. 

So how does this trend reverse itself? Sadly the quick answer is a very slow one as it has taken from 1960 to 2014 for fifty-four years plus to indoctrinate two generations into joining federal entitlement programs. A generation is defined as thirty years it takes for a person to be born and to have children of his own. Lyndon Johnson started "The Great Society" program to mimic the FDR "New Deal" program which then encompassed "The Civil Rights Act" and "The Medicare Act". Lyndon Johnson, who was ambivalent to the Civil Rights Bill for the blacks and changed his tune when he realized he could put a lock on a whole voting block real cheap, for the next fifty years, it was then a political deal that he really relished. 

Factoid: The 1964 election brought in many new liberals to Congress, making the House of Representatives in 1965 the most liberal House since 1938 due to public sympathy after the JFK assassination and completing JFK's program to lower the upper tax bracket by 20% and middle income ones too which increased the GDP 10%. Even though the House and Senate both had 2/3 Democrat members, during the heated debates on the Civil Rights Act, the Southern Dixiecrat Democrat segregationists voted against it to block it. The party of Abraham Lincoln, the Republican Party, voted in the legislation to enable it to pass. The Social Security Act of 1965 authorized Medicare. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act ended a long-standing political taboo by providing significant federal aid to public education, but it opened up ever since a pandora's box of intrusive Washington political agendas in all school levels through college.

The Johnson Administration submitted eighty-seven bills to Congress, and Johnson signed eighty-four, or 96%, arguably the most successful legislative agenda in U.S. Congressional history. 

Economist Thomas Sowell argues that President Lyndon Johnson's "The Great Society" programs only contributed to the destruction of African American families, saying "the black family, which had survived centuries of slavery and discrimination, then began rapidly disintegrating in the liberal welfare state that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life."

An Important Election is coming up for a vote in 2014 to elect U.S. Congressmen who will listen to the people, not Washington -- Vote Wisely!

2016 Presidential Election -  "Don't Do Stupid - Be Smart"  

 

Obama Caught Off Guard - Like Jimmy Carter!

The Obama administration says that they were “caught off guard.” John Kerry has repeatedly said that “no one expected” what happened in Iraq. So they got Syria wrong. They got Libya wrong, They got Egypt wrong. They got the Hamas-Fatah unity government wrong. They got Afghanistan wrong. They got Boko Haram wrong.

And it’s safe to say that the Obama administration got it wrong in the homeland, especially when they scrubbed jihad and Islam from counter-terror training material. And Obama’s DoJ refused to prosecute Muslim Brotherhood groups (like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, etc.) named as co-conspirators in the largest terrorist funding trial in our nation’s history.

So it’s safe to say that the Obama administration got it wrong importing whole Muslim communities from jihad countries. Importing jihad. Importing hostile invaders.

It's time for a little history of Jimmy Carter's "hard won lessons." 

Ever heard of the Wahabi Islamic Religion? I have and remember when I first heardNovember 1979 Issue about it in November, 1979. Jimmy Carter was in office and it was day three of the Iranian hostage crisis when all Hell broke loose behind the scenes in another country. It foretold our huge Islamic terror mess we are in today! ...Oh really?

What some call regular mainstream "Moderate Muslims" it's as if that modifier means being anything different than "Radical Muslims." That would be significant if they really would be standing up to protest but instead are just quietly standing by while watching their Radical Muslim brothers do harm and create tumult in general, but read on...

The Muslim Brotherhood We hear a lot of qualifying statements about “moderate Muslims” when “radical Islam” is mentioned. Now, certainly, one can imagine that the majority of Muslims, are most likely people who just want to get on with their lives and that in western countries in particular, many keep a low profile and just live their lives with a low current of religiosity. Like people everywhere, they are trying to get through the day, and not start a revolution or ignite a war. Even so, some are sympathetic to radical concerns or issues, even if they are not entirely seized with passion for the cause. So, their moderate passive attitudes really just feed the heated passions of radical Islamists which just encourages them even further.  

Other Muslims are completely against radicalism, but 'stay on the down low' and don’t make waves. Then, there are the Muslims who become leaders and actually attempt to impress some kind of moderate change on the current situation within Islam. Many of these high-profile moderates or liberal Muslims don’t get as much press as the radicals, but they do exist, and often they live their lives under threat of death from their co-religionists.

So, ever heard about the origins of 'Wahabi Islam' from Saudi Arabia spreading to the rest of the world?  Apparently, the Saudi royal family has been exporting Wahabi for some time, over 35 years now, into Europe, Canada and the USA — partially to free themselves from an imminent threat to their own power.

This saga began with the 1979 siege on Mecca and the royal family by Wahabists and aThe Kaaba in the court of the Great Mosque at Mecca. deal actually forged with the royal Saudi Arabian family. I knew about Wahabi, but I certainly have since learned more about its spread worldwide and the influence of so many radical Imams, even in places like the United States. Remember that San Diego, CA Imam, Anwar Al-Awlaki, who was American-born and radicalized as a Muslim cleric that was finally killed by U.S. forces in Yeman with a 2011 targeted drone strike?

In the court of the Great Mosque at Mecca the Kaaba contains the sacred black stone. It is a small 11 x 15 inch fragmented remnant encased in a silver frame in one corner of the Kaaba which is a cube shape block stone structure, about 30 feet in diameter. Muslims believe that the first human being, Adam, originally received the black stone from God and used it as part of an altar for worship. 

The goal of the Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage, in a rite called tawaf, which they perform three times during the hajj, they circumambulate the Kaaba counterclockwise seven times. ...Each time pilgrims pass the black stone they recite a prayer from the Qur’an: 'In the name of God, and God is supreme.' If they can, pilgrims approach the Kaaba and kiss it ...or they make a gesture of kissing the Ka’ba each time if they cannot reach it."  It is the compass point, toward Mecca, in which Muslims turn to in praying around the world.
 

With Knowledge Comes Wisdom

You think the 2013 Oscar's Best Picture Award for Argo about the 1979 Iranian U.S. Hostage Crisis was exciting? Well, they left out a powerfully interesting parallel storyline - read about it below in the book review! 

The Siege of Mecca: The Forgotten Uprising in Islam's Holiest Shrine and the Birth of al-Qaeda

by Yaroslav Trofimov

On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning—the first of a new Muslim century—hundreds of gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam’s holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Armed with rifles that they had smuggled inside coffins, these men came from more than a dozen countries, launching the first operation of global jihad in modern times. 

Led by a Saudi preacher named Juhayman al Uteybi, they believed that the Saudi royal family had become a craven servant of American infidels, and sought a return to the glory of uncompromising Islam. With nearly 100,000 worshippers trapped inside the holy compound, Mecca’s bloody siege lasted two weeks, inflaming Muslim rage against the United States and causing hundreds of deaths.

Despite U.S. assistance led by Jimmy Carter, the Saudi royal family proved haplessly incapable of dislodging the occupier, whose ranks included American converts to Islam. In Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini blamed the Great Satan—the United States —for defiling the shrine, prompting mobs to storm and torch American embassies in Pakistan and Libya. The desperate Saudis finally enlisted the help of French commandos led by tough-as-nails Captain Paul Barril, who prepared the final assault and supplied poison gas that knocked out the insurgents. 

Though most captured gunmen were quickly beheaded, the Saudi royal family responded to this unprecedented challenge by compromising with the rebels’ supporters among the kingdom’s most senior clerics.  The Saudi royal family was helping them nurture and export Juhayman’s violent brand of Islam around the world - "Wahabi Islam."

This dramatic and immensely consequential story was barely covered in the world press in the pre-CNN, pre–Al Jazeera days, as Saudi Arabia imposed an information blackout and kept foreign correspondents away. Yaroslav Trofimov now penetrates this veil of silence, interviewing for the first time scores of direct participants in the siege, including former terrorists, and drawing on hundreds of documents that had been declassified on his request.

Written with the pacing, detail, and suspense of a real-life thriller, The Siege of Mecca reveals how Saudi reaction to the uprising in Mecca set free the forces that produced the attacks of 9/11, and the harrowing circumstances that surround us today.

IRS Plays the Old Shell Game with Email Files

IRS Hid Emails on Outside Company's File Servers

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it can't provide emails sent between 2009 and 2011 that were requested by congressional investigators because of hard drive crashes. [Ooops!--they implied it was their hardware failure and forgot to really say that the emails were archived on hard drives of an outside media storage service company.]

The agency said that emails stored on dead drives were lost forever because its email backup tapes were recycled every six months, and employees were responsible for keeping their own long-term archives. 

The IRS had a contract with email backup service vendor Sonasoft starting in 2005, according to FedSpending.org, which lists the contract as being for "automatic data processing services." Sonasoft's motto is "email archiving done right," and the company lists the IRS as a customer.

In 2009, Sonasoft even sent out a Tweet advertising its work for the IRS. [NOTE: Sonasoft misspelled the word "servers" as "severs".  Maybe they had a "Freuedian Slip" and said what they were actually doing, "severing" emails from server drives.]

The extent and exact details of the service that Sonasoft provided to the IRS aren't clear. But the company advertises its email archiving solution as "ideal for small and medium businesses, government agencies, school districts, nonprofit organizations using Microsoft’s Exchange Server." And a document posted on its website describing its services says that its system "archives all email content and so reduces the risk of non-compliance with legal, regulatory and other obligations to preserve critical business content."

Obama Ignored Al Qaeda Scenario

Bush warned this would happen in Iraq

Status of Forces Agreement Failure by Obama

In 2007, President George W. Bush warned that if America withdrew prematurely from Iraq, American troops would eventually have to return.

To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready … would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to al Qaeda. It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale. It would mean we’d allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan. It would mean increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous. [EMPHASIS ADDED].

Well, on June 14, 2014 the Washington Post reported:

President Obama said Thursday it is now clear Iraq will need help from the United States as the situation there deteriorates, adding that he wouldn’t “rule out anything,” including drone strikes and air strikes, but not ground troops.

“What we’ve seen over the last couple of days indicates the degree to which Iraq’s going to need more help,” Obama said during a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott at the White House. “So my team is working around the clock to identify how we can provide the most effective assistance to them. I don’t rule out anything, because we do have a stake in making sure that these jihadists are not getting a permanent foothold in either Iraq or Syria, for that matter.”

He’s not ruling anything out, you see – except ground troops. He’s ruling that out.

Let’s recall that Obama inherited a pacified Iraq, where al Qaeda had been defeated — both militarily and ideologically.

Militarily, thanks to Bush’s surge, al Qaeda was driven from the strongholds it had established in Anbar and other Iraqi provinces. It controlled no major territory, and it’s top leader – Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi – had been killed.

Ideologically, al Qaeda had suffered a massive rejection by the Sunni masses. Iraq was supposed to be a place where al Qaeda rallied Sunnis to drive America out. Instead, the Sunnis joined with Americans to drive al Qaeda out. That was a major ideological defeat.

So al Qaeda in Iraq (now ISIS) had been beaten on the battlefield and rejected by the Sunnis it claimed to represent. In fact, the situation Obama inherited was so good that the Obama administration was actually trying to take credit for it. Joe Biden declared that Iraq “could be one of the great achievements of [the Obama] administration.”

Obama took that inheritance and squandered it. And – just as Bush predicted – we’re now talking about going back (at least in the air) to help the Iraqis to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.

Is this how wars end in the 21st century, Mr. President?

Clinton's Up To Her Old Games

By DICK MORRIS
Published on TheHill.com on June 9, 2014

There she goes again...

Hillary Clinton likes to present herself as an "every woman," facing the same challenges that bedevil all families, living in sync with their trials and tribulations, overcoming adversity as we all try to do. [Ah, yeah, right!]

The latest iteration of her wish to downplay her wealth so as to be just plain folk was her bald assertions to Diane Sawyer that she [Hillary] and Bill were "dead broke" and "in debt" when she left the White House, struggling to..."you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, Chelsea's education, you know, it was not easy."

Some dead broke! Some "not easy"!  Consider this:

• Her joint tax return with Bill for 2001 showed a $16,165,110 income for her first year out of the White House.

• Even before they left the White House, their joint income for 2000 was $359,000, scarcely in the "dead broke" category, particularly when you consider that the Clintons had none of the normal expenses that the rest of us do, such as housing, cars, child care, insurance, electricity, landscaping, healthcare -- all covered by the taxpayers. All they had to pay for was dry cleaning, food and college tuition for Chelsea. Most people could make that work.

• Hillary signed a book contract with an $8 million advance in the closing weeks of Bill's presidency and Bill inked a $15 million deal at about the same time. She got more than $2 million of this in 2001. Is that dead broke?

• The Clintons bought a house in September of 1999 in Chappaqua, N.Y., for $1.7 million. In December of 2000, they also purchased a $2.85 million house in Washington, D.C. before Bill left office. Do people who are dead broke and in debt do this?

• Before leaving the White House, the Clintons registered with a Midwest department store so their friends and donors could provide them with expensive household gifts to start a new home -- like any blushing newlyweds. They [also] carted away $190,000 of the gifts they received during their White House years. These included expensive china, flatware and home furnishings. Ultimately they had to repay the donors $86,000 for what they had plundered.

• Chelsea had graduated from college by the end of  Bill's term and the tuition for her graduate work at Oxford for the year 2001 could not have been too burdensome for a family that would earn $16 million that year.

So why does Hillary Clinton do this? Why make up stories of poverty when they were verifiable multimillionaires?

The former first lady has always felt the need to adjust the truth of her extraordinary circumstances -- up or down -- to suit her political needs of the moment. She wants to be just like us. So, for example, she's spoken of the burdens of providing child care for Chelsea, even as the Clintons had the luxuries of an extensive staff of taxpayer-funded state police and babysitters during Chelsea's early years and a full White House and Secret Service staff afterwards.

She's also said she wanted a private kitchen in the White House so that when her "husband [is] coming home after a golf game" she can "throw something together "for him to eat." She avoided mentioning that she would have to elbow aside the dozens of cooks, butlers, waiters and servants assigned to prepare the meals for the first couple -- and that she never cooks.

Why does she find this protective coloration necessary? Why must she hide in the herd, pretending to be just one of us? And does her need to misrepresent her circumstances on the public stage bespeak a fundamental disregard for the truth and a confidence that she can manipulate our feelings as surely as any soap opera actress?

With Hillary Clinton, it is not just the big things that she tries to spin: Benghazi, the prisoner exchange and so forth. It's also the little things that she misrepresents ... and that gives her game away.
