NOT a disability.....................from Rico

Forget about the "Greek Wedding" and try "My Big Fat Disability Check" instead...

By April 2013 (the 195th consecutive month the number of freeloaders has increased) US 'disability' recipients (10,962,532) outnumbered the total population of Greece (10,815,197).

This phenomenon is largely due to the Federal Government redefining "unemployed/unemployable" as being "disabed"...which has the added benefit of reducing the 'offishul' number of unemployed, making the broken economy 'look' better while completely avoiding the issue of unemployment 'running out' after 99 weeks while disability is 'forever.'

I suspect many would agree that being fat, stupid, and lazy should not qualify as a "disability"...but that's CHANGE for you. Thanks Barry

The Tears of Benghazi

By Alan Caruba

The Hollywood version of heroes is that of large, muscular men who show no fear and little emotion after a confrontation with the enemy. The images that come to mind are Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Bruce Willis who, while not a muscleman, has the swagger we associate with movie heroes.

On Wednesday, on Capitol Hill, three men, Greg Hicks who was deputy chief of mission in Libya, second in command to the assassinated Ambassador, Chris Stevens; Eric Nordstrom, a diplomatic security officer who was formerly the regional security officer in Libya; and Mark Thompson, a former Marine and an official with the State Department’s Counterterrorism Bureau; sat at a table and gave short statements followed by answers to the questions they were asked.

In real life, heroes often look like someone in middle management. It was wrong—even demeaning—for the media to call them “whistle blowers.” These men were patriots. Who else would go to a war zone to represent their nation or to protect its highest diplomat there?

At the hearing they wore suits and ties. And, when called on to tell the truth, they sometimes choked up from the mix of emotions that flowed through them from memories of colleagues lost in combat and the awful realization that the nation for which they put their lives on the line, the nation they served with honor, left them defenseless to come to the aid of those colleagues.

Looming in the room were the ghosts of the dead ambassador, two security personnel; Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods were both former Navy SEALS, contracted by the Central Intelligence Agency, and Sean Smith, a ten-year veteran of the State Department and on temporary assignment in Libya as an information officer for the embassy. Smith, an Air Force veteran, left behind two young children.

The testimony was emotional at times as the witnesses had to pause to regain their composure. They were a sharp contrast to the former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who became annoyed by the questions she was asked at a hearing on Benghazi. “What difference does it make?” she replied angrily to a question from Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

“With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?” Clinton asked the Republican Senator. “It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.”

Did she really believe it was just “because of guys out for a walk one night decided to go kill Americans”? On the anniversary of 9/11? Did she and the President really believe that the attack was because of a video? That is what they told Americans in the wake of the attack. That is what our ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, was sent out to say on five Sunday morning news shows.

What emerged from the hearings was the failure and the refusal of the State Department, the CIA, and the Department of Defense to activate any of the resources they had to send any forces to defend the consulate. Someone had to make a conscious choice to do that. Someone had to tell those forces to “stand down.

As Hicks said, “I am a career public servant. Until the aftermath of Benghazi, I loved every day of my job.” As one watched, his quiet presentation was marked with moments of emotion. He was the last man to speak by phone to Ambassador Stevens. Thompson said he was rebuffed by the White House when he asked for specialized team known as FEST—men trained specifically to response to an attack. Asked how a team of Special Forces personnel were not given authorization to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi responded, Hicks said “They were furious.”

Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-CA) the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Fox News, “The question is, where’s the accountability for lying to the American people?”

That’s what the President of the United States did. That’s what the former Secretary of State did. And that’s why the White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, replied to a question about Benghazi dismissing it saying the attack had happened “a long time ago.”

The loss of the lives of four patriots and the testimony of their colleagues, still mourning their loss, is sad, but how much sadder still is the fact that our great nation is led and represented by such soulless people?

Roger Corman - Please make this movie!...........................from Rico

Roger Corman made many great movies.

- They were always entertaining, and we sure NEED some entertainment about now.

Roger Corman, please make this movie!

It could be called something catchy like "Death Race Fiat" about the shocking death/collapse of the great Keynesian fiat experiment.

- Of course, that Maynard was a moron and a huge fan of eugenics could be worked into the storyline somewhere along with the debt-to-gdp levels of all the countries that adhere to his economic theory.

- The end of the film could depict the achievement of global socialist 'equality of outcome' for all (except the inner party members, of course).

It's past time that art imitate reality...

When is a Report Not a Report?............................from Dan Friedman

[Earlier this AM the leftist anti-Israel British rag the Guardian reported that scientist Stephen Hawking had backed out of an Israeli conference in sympathy with the academic boycott of Israel. The report was eagerly eaten whole by the rest of the anti-Zionist lamestream media in the USA and elsewhere.

Now comes a breaking story from the Algemeiner that throws cold water on the Guardian’s version of events. As the old journalist’s maxim goes, some stories are too good to check. df]

University: Hawking Israel Boycott Story is a Fraud, Trip Canceled for Health Reasons

It turns out that Stephen Hawking’s cancelled trip to Israel is not a matter of boycotting the Jewish state, but rather merely a result of his health.

The Guardian, which broke the faux story late last night, claimed that Hawking was to boycott the Presidential Conference in Jerusalem next month after receiving an erroneous statement from the British Committee for the Universities of Palestine (BRICUP), which claimed that it had issued it with Hawking’s approval.

The statement said that the move was “his independent decision to respect the boycott, based upon his knowledge of Palestine, and on the unanimous advice of his own academic contacts there.” The story was then picked up by various news outlets around the world.

However, a University spokesman told The Algemeiner that Prof. Hawking’s cancellation was due to a health issue.

“Professor Hawking will not be attending the conference in Israel in June for health reasons – his doctors have advised against him flying,” the spokesperson said.

A spokesperson earlier confirmed to The Commentator which first reported on the fraud that the BRICUP organisation had “assumed” Hawking’s position on the matter, and that it was fundamentally untrue.

Retirement dream........................from Rico

Retiring in comfort is fast becoming a dream for many as the 'middle class' gets increasingly taxed and squeezed out of existence by inflation.

It's nice to "dream the impossible dream" and all that, but thanks to the Central Banks and their TBTF (too big to fail) and TBTJ (too big to jail) Banksta cronies and their bought-and-paid-for political monkeys, the 'new reality' of retirement will be work until you die...if you have a job.

The Indispensable Jew...............................from Dan Friedman

[No one has ever done the Jews any favors. It's been that way throughout history. Jews have been tolerated only because we excel at certain essential skills and aptitudes the gentile society around us didn't have or were loathe to use. Thus, it took an Einstein to break the barrier at Princeton. We may soon see the same phenomenon played out with Israel now that she's up to her ears in gas and oil!

Below find two stories about Israel's burgeoning energy industry. The first one, from the Washington Post, focuses on Israel's natural gas findings, but curiously omits any mention of the Jewish state's oil shale reserves, which are even more impressive. Now why would the WaPo do that? Could it be that oil shale and the process used to turn into crude oil - fracking - is not a fit subject for the environmentally correct Washington Post? Especially, when everyone knows the Jews will refine the process and make it even cleaner than it is now, consequently making the tree huggers look like hysterical fools. To get up to speed on that, see the other story from Fox News. df]

Pentagon accuses China of cyberattacks against the U.S. government................................from CR

In its annual report to Congress on Monday, the Pentagon accused the Chinese military of mounting cyber attacks on the U.S government and various defense contractors, marking the first time that the Obama administration has explicitly blamed Chinese officials for the country's offensive cyber activities. The report, which called the cyber attacks a "serious concern," said that U.S. government computer systems "continued to be targeted for intrusions, some of which appear to be attributable directly to the Chinese government and military."

China's primary objective appears to be the theft of industrial technology, but according to the report, the information gathered by Chinese hackers could easily be used for "building a picture of U.S. network defense networks, logistics, and related military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis." The diplomatic, economic, and defense industrial sectors that form the basis of U.S. defense programs are all being targeted, according to the report.

China rejected the accusations on Tuesday, saying that it "resolutely oppose[s] all forms of hacker attacks." "We're willing to carry out an even-tempered and constructive dialogue with the U.S. on the issue of Internet security. But we are firmly opposed to any groundless accusations and speculations, since they will only damage the cooperation efforts and atmosphere between the two sides to strengthen dialogue and cooperation,'' said a spokeswoman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
