No one may ever see Barry's college transcripts, but here is a 'report card' on life under Comrade Barry that tells us a lot more than the transcripts of a "layabout, dope-smoking, experimenting with the gay lifestyle, class-skipping, 'foreign' student" ever could.
Barry has the distinction of being the pResident that made Americans less free than the Fwench.
- You know...personal freedom, freedom of choice, and civil liberties have slid in world ranking from 9th to 21st...just after Fwance thanks to our boy Marxist-in-chief.
And he shows no signs of letting up.

The Non-comprehensive Approach to Immigration Reform
As the President prepares to make
good on his threat to grant executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens,
various media outlets have begun asking Republicans what their alternative
would be. While that would seem to be a fair question, it ignores a couple of
very important facts. First, the President has yet to explain exactly what he
plans to do and how his actions will solve anything, and it assumes that
granting amnesty will magically make the illegal immigration problem go away.
That being said, there is absolutely no reason for a Republican to dodge the
question, but for the sake of any Republican that needs a little help, I will
spell out what needs to be done. (continue reading)

No Exit?..................by Dan Friedman
The Jews have dug themselves into a hole that is exceedingly difficult for them to dig out of. We're looking at the sum of all Israel's errors starting years before independence and continuing today. To put it bluntly, Jews and Israelis are now suffering the pain from the "painful concessions" we've heard all about for decades. We're now witnessing the upshot of trying to placate Israel's implacable Arab/Muslim enemies. The question now is will Israel change course before it's too late and convince the Arabs that in the Jewish state the Jews are in control in perpetuity. Frankly, the present Israeli leadership is not up to the task and continuing down the worn path – even with clenched fist - would be opting for suicide.

The Two Ukraine's
By Alan Caruba
“Obama is just not up to the task—a
geopolitical lightweight who was easily outmaneuvered in Syria and
Iran.”
That’s Marin Katusa, writing in his
new book, “The Colder War: How the Global Energy Trade Slipped from America’s
Grasp” ($29.95, John Wiley and Sons, and Casey Research). Katusa is no fan of
President Obama, but one might wonder who is these days other than the 48% of
Americans who think he’s doing a great job. Calling them stupid as the now famed
Jonathan Gruber of ObamaCare fame has done is not far from the
mark.
Katusa is a successful fund manager
with a specialty of investing in the energy sector and helping to create energy
companies. Along the way he has been to many nations around the world to see
firsthand how their governments impact the energy companies working domestically
and beyond. This is particularly true of Russia’s Vladimir Putin who took the
collapsed Soviet Union and brought Russia back to life as the Russian
Federation. At the core of the revival were and are his energy
strategies.
That is what is at work these days in
the Ukraine, divided between those who want it to join the European Union and
NATO, and those who want to ally with Russia. Katusa reminds us that “At one
time, Ukraine was Russia. Kievan Rus, the first East Slavic state, was
established by the Varangians in the ninth century.”
“At the end of the eighteenth century,
Ukraine was partitioned, with a small slice going to Austria/Hungary and the
rest to the Russian Empire. The second decade of the twentieth century was as
chaotic for Ukraine as it was for the rest of Europe. Civil War raged from 1917
to 1921, with a host of factions vying for control of the government of the
newly proclaimed Ukrainian Republic. Their sovereign state proved to be
short-lived.”
“By 1922, the Ukrainian army was
overpowered and the nation became the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.”
World War Two was a horror for Ukraine. One out of every six Ukrainians died
during the war, many of whom sided with Nazi Germany against Russia. It was
recaptured in 1944 by the USSR.
Why is it important to Putin and
Russia in 2014?
He wants to ensure that Ukraine, via
pipelines, accommodates Russia’s natural gas production to buyers in Europe.
“Half of Russia’s gas exports to the European Union (which cover 25 percent of
the EU’s consumption) pass through Ukraine.”
Putin also needs to ensure that the
Russian Navy has a secure port at Sebastopol on the Crimean Peninsula for to
access to the Black Sea. Moreover, having Ukraine in its sphere of influence
provides what the former USSR satellite nations did, a buffer that keeps NATO at
a distance. Russia annexed Crimea shortly after Ukraine had political problems
in March 2014.
Finally, Putin wants Moscow to be seen
as the protector of all Russian people, including the eight million, 18% of
Ukraine’s population, who live in the eastern part of the
nation.
“For 15 million Ukrainians, about
one-third of the population, Russian is the first language,” notes Katusa, “They
are concentrated in the eastern parts of the country, and in some areas,
including Crimea, they are a majority.”
In a very real sense, the Ukraine is
actually two nations, a western leaning one and an eastern leaning one. When “an
independent Ukraine emerged in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union” it
was, as Katusa notes, a country that was plagued by corruption and political
intrigue from day one. For Russia, pre-and-post collapse, it has always been a
real pain, often stealing gas from the pipelines passing through it or
defaulting on payment for its use.
I will pass on the politics of Ukraine
that got us all to this point, but suffice to say that Putin’s efforts to bring
at least the eastern portion under Russian influence or control has not gone
down well with European nations, virtually all of whom are highly dependent on
the gas and oil they purchase from Russia. The U.S. has put sanctions on Russia
and Canada’s Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, bluntly told Putin to get out of
the Ukraine at the recent G-20 conference in Australia.
The fear is that, if Putin is
successful in breaking away the eastern half of Ukraine, he would not only want
the other half but set his eyes on former Soviet Union satellite nations in
Eastern Europe.
Speaking in Australia after the G-20
conference, Germany’s Chancellor Angela
Merkel warned that Putin was practicing a foreign policy reminiscent of the
Cold War. “This isn’t just about Ukraine” she said in a question-and-answer
session. “This is about Moldova, this is about Georgia, and if this continues
then one will have to ask about Serbia and one will have to ask about the
countries of the Western Balkans.”
“What happens next in Ukraine,” writes
Katusa, “is anyone’s guess. But it’s not likely to be pretty.” Putin has said he
will not intervene militarily, but adds that he would act to protect the Russian
population in its eastern half if he thought they were being threatened.
I personally believe Putin is far too
canny to engage in an active overt military takeover of Ukraine. He is more
likely to fund and arm the eastern half to a point where they can declare
themselves a separate nation. It is doubtful that either the EU or NATO would
intervene. Russia has already demonstrated that it would turn off the gas if
they did. That would essentially shut down Europe.
A new, Colder War is developing says
Katusa. “Its weapons would be oil wells, gas fields, uranium mines, energy
processing plants, pipelines, and ports. Again, Europe would be the primary zone
of engagement even though the United States would be the primary
opponent.”
Now consider this. Prior to and during
the past six years of the Obama administration, the environmental movement in
the U.S. has thrown up all manner of obstacles to the development of any of the
U.S. reserves of coal, oil, and natural gas. The refusal to approve a Canadian
oil pipeline to our Gulf coast is just one dramatic example, the failure to be
able to tap the huge energy reserves in Alaska is another, and the slowness of
issuing permits to seek oil on federal lands and offshore is another.
For two decades the U.S. has tied its
own hands despite being the Saudi Arabia of coal and having more oil than any
other nation. The size of our natural gas reserves is huge. And we need to be
building more nuclear facilities to generate electricity. Instead, the EPA is
forcing coal-fired plants out of business. Our electrical grid is in need of
repair and expansion. Et cetera!
Putin must look at Obama and the U.S.
and wonder just how stupid we are.

Obama Just Grubered Us Again

think we really are. In the wake of a plethora of videos showing Obamacare
architect Jonathan Gruber citing “voter stupidity” as the reason why the Obama
administration had to deceive the American people in order to pass Obamacare,
Democrats have again resorted to Grubering to convince us none of it ever

All your money are belong to us!................from Rico
Thank you G20!
The Cyprus template is now fully implemented in every major economy. Effective 16 NOV 2014:
- Bank deposits are no longer 'money' but paper 'investments' in your financial institution.
- Your asset (CASH) is now a liability (INVESTMENT).
Everyone with ANY cash in a checking, savings, or money market account just had it all stolen.
- Sure, you can still get small amounts of cash from an ATM or at the teller window of your bank, but the new banking rules agreed to across the G20 mean banks no longer consider your deposited money as 'yours' or as 'money' but instead as part of the bank's capital structure...and pretty far from the most senior part of that structure.
Congratulations! We are all now at the end of the line of claimants to recover our 'investment' from a financial institution if/when it fails.
- Maybe a penny on the dollar. Math-wise $1,000 on $100,000 sounds about right.
B-b-b-b-b-but the FDIC! Some may sputter.
- Sure. Right. With $25 billion in the FDIC fund, that covers about 1.15% of "insured" accounts.
The last financial crash was funded by taxpayer bail-outs.
- The next financial crash will be funded by depositor bail-ins.

Obama Flacks for Islam (Again).................from Dan Friedman
[Thanks again to Daniel Greenfield (Sultan Knish) for keeping us alert. No doubt, Barack Hussein Obama has a sweet spot in his heart for Islam. Of course, it could go even deeper than that. Either way, we elected a freak for president in 2008 and 2012. The next two years, and the behavior of the Republicans, will tell us if we’ll be able to undo Obama’s damage in the years to come. df]

Praying or Not on the Temple Mount
By Alan Caruba
The Palestinians never lose an
opportunity or excuse to kill Jews. What is feared is a new intifada or holy war
in Israel, specifically in Jerusalem, where attacks on its civilians and
soldiers have been occurring. The present grievance has to do with the
Temple Mount, the holiest place in Judaism, but one that was taken over by
Muslims when they invaded in 638 A.D.
Muslims have a habit of either
destroying the places of worship of Jews and Christians or converting them to
mosques. In the case of the Temple Mount, known to Arabs as Masjid al Aksa, the
Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik, around 688 A.D., built the Dome of the Rock, a
mosque. The site, Mount Moriah, had been holy to Jews for 3,000 years as the
place where Abraham offered his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice when his faith was
tested by God.
As recorded in 2 Chronicles 3:1 “Then
Solomon began to build the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah. It
was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David,
his father.”
And then Mohammad came along with a
fanciful story. As recorded in the Koran, Sura Al-Isra 17:1. “Glory be to Him
who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Sanctuary to the
farthest Sanctuary, whose precincts We did bless…” According to Mohammed, one night he was
transported from Mecca to Jerusalem, escorted by the angel Gabriel. From the
future site of al-Aksa, he ascended to Heaven where he met the great prophets
before returning to Mecca. Suffice to say the “Night journey” became a sacred
event for Muslims and al-Aksa, when built, a sacred
mosque.
Apparently anything in Islam is
justification enough to kill any “unbeliever” and Jews have been on the top of
that list since it was created by Mohammed, largely because the Jews of his time
refused to abandon their faith and accept him as a
prophet.
When Israel became a sovereign Jewish
state in 1948, it was immediately attacked by its Arab neighbors and has had to
fight several wars since then. It has never been free from attacks, the latest
being those by Hamas from Gaza that provoked a military operation to stop their
ceaseless rocketing.
In the wake of the first war the
Jordanians retained control over the Mount Moriah, refusing entry to the area.
The Israelis conquered the whole of Jerusalem during the 1967 Six Day War and
liberated the Temple Mount. It was the first time since the destruction of the
Second Temple by the Romans that they had control.
Currently, the Israelis allow Jews to
enter the Temple Mount on a restrictive basis, but they are barred from praying
there!
Prayer is forbidden because the
Israelis have not wanted to offend Muslims. Meanwhile the Palestine Authority
president, Mahmoud Abbas, has accused Israel of launching a religious war when
Israelis responded to attacks by Palestinians on their civilians and soldiers as
a way to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Yasser Arafat’s death. Abbas has had
years in which to find a way toward peace with Israel, but never
has.
Access to the Temple Mount has been a
topic of discussion among Israelis for whom the site is as holy as that of the
Muslims. Attacks on Jewish activists and others have increased, reflecting the
Muslim resistance to any policy of tolerance that might permit Jews to pray
there. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is on record that Israel will not
change its policy, but prominent Israeli political figures have made trips to
the plaza of the Temple Mount to protest the
regulation.
For all those in the West who speak of
the necessity to extend tolerance to Islam and try to accommodate the demands of
Muslims, it would be wise to look at what is happening in Israel, a holy land
for three thousand years to Jews, then for two thousand years to Christians, and
then to Muslims who arrived on the scene 1,400 years ago and who are engaged in
a holy war to dominate the whole of the world.
These days, when not fighting each
other throughout the Middle East, Muslims are committing atrocities around the
world, killing innocent people with abandon in the name of their holy war and
while they do Jews and Christians are forbidden to pray on the Temple
Mount.

Still Generating Thatcher Hatred By Corrupting History...............From Daniel Thomas
We have to accept that the days of honesty in political discourse are well and truly over having been replaced by spin, deceit, lies and propaganda. Distorting history has traditionally been the preserve of the victors in battle, in the case of modern political power seeking, politicians indulge freely.
These unscrupulous power seekers will say or promise anything to get their grubby hands on political power regardless of the cost to honesty, decency or moral integrity. It would appear that poisoning young minds by generating a visceral hatred of an opponent is an acceptable practice.
A chance meeting in a social club with an aspiring eighteen year old writer/politician revealed the truth about deliberately generated hatred. It was reminiscent of the 'three minute hate' made famous by George Orwell in his futuristic novel 1984.
The young man in question has a "deep burning hatred in his heart for Margaret Thatcher...he will never forgive her for destroying the Welsh coal industry and his community". Hatred on such a scale is a wasted emotion but it is a tragic waste when it is based on deliberately distorted history.
The fact that the correct version of history is easily accessible confirms that the young man has accepted the version of history given to him by unscrupulous ideologues and sadly fostered his burning hatred on the basis of it.
Presumably he will pass it on to the next generation and so forth with the result that the corrupted version is accepted as fact. Consequently political loyalty and votes will be assured in perpetuity.
I am not an apologist for Margaret Thatcher by any means nor do I endorse her policies but this gentleman's ignorance of the history about his local community is staggering. I feel it incumbent upon myself to put it right, demonstrating how history has been shamelessly distorted in the process.
The following facts are taken from South Wales Coalfield Series, Book 62. Merthyr Valley - Ray Lawrence Bsc. Also Collieries Of South Wales: Volumes 1 and 2 - John Cornwell
Our young friend's town and the surrounding area were thinly populated backwaters until the rise of iron making in the late eighteenth century. Four great ironworks were built between 1760 and 1780 causing an immigration boom which took the population into the tens of thousands. So it was iron and not coal that was responsible for the rise of his community in the first place.
Due to technical innovation and market pressures, the iron industry, along with the surrounding communities, went into decline in the 1860's and by the turn of the nineteenth century it was all but finished.
The remaining coal industry was still substantial consisting of over two hundred registered deep mines, drifts and levels in his home valley. The discovery of cheap, easily accessible oil started the decline of the coal industry but it was the recession starting in 1929 that just about finished it off.
By the time the industry was nationalised in 1947 the two hundred coal mines was reduced to four (4) and by 1955 that was reduced further to just two (2)
For the record Margaret Thatcher was born in 1925, became a research chemist then a barrister. She entered Parliament in 1959. She held the Education and Science portfolio until becoming Leader of the Opposition in 1975. By the time she became Prime Minister in 1979 the coal industry and its communities had already declined to the point of dereliction.
The facts that our aspiring friend chooses to ignore are that Margaret Thatcher wasn't born when the iron industry ended and was only four years old when the coal industry went into decline. She wasn't in Parliament at the time of nationalisation or when the industry was reduced to two mines in his valley.
The coal industry that remained was old, inefficient and costly. This necessitated a re-organisation which saw the Labour governments under Harold Wilson and James Callaghan closed two hundred and ninety mines. The ongoing re-organisation saw a further one hundred and sixty close under Mrs. Thatcher's Conservative government. That's one hundred and thirty less than her Labour predecessors.
It was the year long miners strike of 1984/5 that raises the emotional temperature but the blame for that lies with the politically motivated leadership of the mine workers union. Arthur Scargill and Mick McGahey were two lifelong communists who had a deep loathing for the Conservative government and for Mrs.Thatcher in particular.
They misused the traditional loyalty of the mining communities in an attempt to bring down the democratically elected government. They refused to hold a national strike ballot and forbid local union lodges to hold one either. They left it the local miners whether to strike or work normally, those who decided to work normally were picketed out using threats, violence and intimidation.
It is the considered opinion of Mr. Lawrence that had a ballot been allowed, the South Wales area would have voted to work normally.
The democratically elected government of fifty five million people was never going to submit to a union comprising one hundred and ten thousand members. The remaining industry never recovered from the political ambitions of Messrs. Scargill and McGahey but agenda driven commentators ensured that Mrs.Thatcher got the blame.
Our aspiring young friend was horrified that someone could actually exonerate the object of his anger and vilification and pass the blame to his heroes. He obviously has an emotional need for fiction to become fact and vice verca
*In a footnote to this history it should be noted that if the industry had survived in some form after the malign attentions of Scargill and McGahey, it would have been finished by the restrictions set out in the Climate Change Act.
This industry killing legislation was put in place by the then Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, a Mr. Edward Miliband. Better known today as Red Ed, the leader of the Labour Party.
