PJTV: ZoNation: Jovan Belcher Tragedy: Blame the Man not the NRA
Liberals like Jason Whitlock want you to believe that the NRA killed Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend. Zo tells you why the NRA is not the KKK, and reminds you who is really to blame for this murder-suicide, in addition to other tragedies in black communities.

"Never Again"? Again in Scotland!...from Mike Haltman at TPC
In yet another challenge to the idea that what happened in Nazi Germany could never happen again, Jewish students at Edinburgh University have stopped attending due to "toxic" anti-Semitism.

Is Pearl Harbor Ancient History?
By Alan
Caruba
I recall in my youth thinking that
the Civil War (1861-1865) was ancient history. As with most children, anything
that occurred before my birth was “ancient.” In point of fact, the Civil War had
ended just 72 years before I was born in 1937 and there were likely some men
still alive who had fought in it or recalled it as youth.
I suspect that the Japanese sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, December 7, 1941, the day that Franklin Delano
Roosevelt said “will live in infamy” is ancient history to several recent
generations of Americans, many of whom are the aging baby boomers, the
children born after our troops returned home, married, and began to raise
families after 1945, the year World War II ended.
What I fear most is that the children
and grandchildren of those baby boomers may not even know what occurred on that
Sunday morning 71 years ago.
The general ignorance of Americans
about their own history comes with its own price. Forgetting or never knowing
that a long Cold War was fought with the Soviet Union from the end of World War
II until its collapse in 1991 has left this nation with a President whose
ideology concerning capitalism and centralized government closely mirrors the
communist empire America expended blood and treasure to defeat.
While younger generations may have a
fleeting grasp of the 1970s Vietnam War, most probably do not even know that,
shortly after World War II ended, many U.S. servicemen were called to duty to
fight the invasion of South Korea by North Korea, 1950-1953, a communist
satellite of China whose troops were involved. I have an older brother who
served in the Tokyo-based Supreme Headquarters Far East Command during that war.
You can bet he remembers it.
The Korean War ended in a stalemate.
Technically, only a ceasefire agreement exists. South Korea went on to become an
industrial success story while North Korea still cannot keep the lights on at
night. It makes nuclear weapons and missiles to pay the bills these days, in
addition to a variety of other criminal activities. The grandson of its first
dictator is the new dictator and observers have dubbed North Korea “China’s
hidden dagger” because nothing happens there without Chinese oversight and
permission.
Pearl Harbor has a special place in
American history because it marked the U.S. entry into World War II. The war had
been raging in Europe since 1939 and, frankly, a lot of Americans did not want
to get involved in a second European conflict since memories of World War I
which had ended in 1918 were still relatively fresh in people’s minds. Pearl
Harbor changed all that.
Men lined up to enlist to fight World
War II. They volunteered in the thousands because they understood the threat to
freedom the regimes of the Nazis and the Japanese Empire represented. Similarly,
after 9/11 there was a surge of enlistments to fight the rising tide of Islamic
aggression.
The Cold War was still active when
President Lyndon Johnson decided to increase the numbers of U.S. forces in
Vietnam. The war had begun in 1955 against the French for whom Vietnam was a
colony. By 1975, after the U.S. had been involved from the 1960s, the death toll
topped 58,000 when the U.S. negotiated its way out of what had become an
ignominious defeat.
Why did LBJ escalate our
participation? He had fought in WWII and spent much of his life in Congress
during the Cold War. For him, WWII and the Korean War were still relatively
fresh in mind. Like many others, he believed in the “domino theory” that
postulated a loss in Vietnam would lead other Asian nations into the Communist
orbit. Red China was still very much an enemy at the time. Ultimately, the war
was so unpopular that he decided against running for a second
term.
It was left to Richard Nixon to
extricate us from Vietnam and then to open the doors to China. In doing so he
transformed the future for both our nations. He will, however, be remembered for
Watergate and for being the only President to resign the
office.
The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are
beginning to fade from public memory, despite the 9/11 attack on our
homeland.
In 1986 I boarded a boat at Pearl
Harbor to visit the Memorial over the USS Arizona, a sunken battleship. As I
looked around me, I realized that the majority of other visitors were Japanese
tourists! When we disembarked, one by one they would stand in front of the names
of U.S. casualties on that day that filled one of the walls. Then they would bow
deeply and say a prayer for their souls. We had all come a long way from
December 7, 1941.
Do our present youth and perhaps even
their parents remember Pearl Harbor? I doubt it.

The "usual".................from Rico
Just some more of the "usual" (let's call it the 'new' usual, since abnormal and unusual activity on the CRIMEX has become "usual").
- The 'usual' suspects once again engaged in the 'usual' criminal activity.
- At the 'usual' time, the COMEX open.
- The 'usual' metals smack-down timed around the the monthly meaningless faux-jobs report.
- The 'usual' running of the muppets and their stops to fleece them of anything they might have left.
How about something TRULY unusual (and quite unremarked and unreported)?
- Goldman calls the end of the Gold bull market due to the improving US economy (and with a straight face, too) on the same day it is reported that Goldman and JPM are considering huge layoffs due to the terrible economy. [Read: The Cartel is readying their move from the manipulated 'short' side to the 'long' side in advance of the next parabolic 'run' up in precious metals that they will then manipulate once the muppets have been thoroughly cleaned-out. Or, in technical banker-speak: heads I win, tails you lose.]
