We’ve come a long way from Obama’s “open hand” Cairo speech in 2009.

(CNN) – From around Aleppo in western Syria to small areas of Falluja in central Iraq, al Qaeda now controls territory that stretches more than 400 miles across the heart of the Middle East, according to English and Arab language news accounts as well as accounts on jihadist websites.

Indeed, al Qaeda appears to control more territory in the Arab world than it has done at any time in its history.

The focus of al Qaeda’s leaders has always been regime change in the Arab world in order to install Taliban-style regimes. Al Qaeda’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri acknowledged as much in his 2001 autobiography, “Knights Under the Banner of the Prophet,” when he explained that the most important strategic goal of al Qaeda was to seize control of a state, or part of a state, somewhere in the Muslim world, explaining that, “without achieving this goal our actions will mean nothing.” (more…)

As we have continued to outline “The Real Libyan Story” serendipity has risen and provided affirmation for over three years’ worth of research and presentations. 

In his soon to be released book “Duty” Robert Gates specifically outlines the influence of Samantha Power in establishing U.S. policy.   A policy of complete failure which has given rise to al-Qaeda’s growth.

Perhaps against the backdrop of a USA Today article published yesterday showing the rise of al-Qaeda, the sheer weight of empherical evidence is going to overwhelm the false claims of Team Obama/Clinton.

(Washington Post)  [S]imilarly, in a battle over defense spending, “I was extremely angry with President Obama,” Gates writes. “I felt he had breached faith with me . . . on the budget numbers.” As with “don’t ask, don’t tell,” “I felt that agreements with the Obama White House were good for only as long as they were politically convenient.”

Gates acknowledges forthrightly in “Duty” that he did not reveal his dismay. “I never confronted Obama directly over what I (as well as [Hillary] Clinton, [then-CIA Director Leon] Panetta, and others) saw as the president’s determination that the White House tightly control every aspect of national security policy and even operations. His White House was by far the most centralized and controlling in national security of any I had seen since Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger ruled the roost.” (more…)

Serendipity strikes again 😀 – Generally the large media conglomerates, who operate on a self identity of liberal alignment, get it wrong.   However, every once in a while they can set their ideology on a side table and construct quality information.

This is one of those rare but valuable instances.

The White House is probably definitely having fits right now, because this USA Today outline destroys the Obama administration’s false claims of “al-Qaeda being on the run“.

[…] The chaos of the Arab Spring revolutions, al-Qaeda’s shift to a more bottom-up structure and a perceived pullback of U.S. influence in the Middle East are behind the spread of America’s No. 1 enemy in the world, say several analysts who study the core group in Pakistan and affiliates who swear allegiance to it.

The latest and most stark example came this week in Iraq, where al-Qaeda militants seized control of government buildings and districts of Fallujah and Ramadi, cities that were liberated from jihadist control by American troops  during the Iraq War. (link)

NO !    Let me be clear:   NO !   

Just in case you are fuzzy on the big word:  NO ! 

In the event you have difficulty understanding the whole Good VS Bad concept:  NO ! 

In essence, just to keep it simple:  NO !

YAHOO NEWS – Secretary of State John Kerry is proposing to offer up US troops to help secure the borders of the new state of Palestine, according to some unconfirmed news reports coming out of Israel.
How plausible is the possibility? And would it be a good idea, or, as some military analysts argue, would the White House would be “nuts” to consider it?
The US troops would be tasked with helping to prevent anti-Israel forces from coming out of Jordan and reaching Israel, according to Debkafile, an Israeli intelligence and security news service. (read more)

I really wanted to hunker down and ride it out.  But the insufferable propaganda around the death of Nelson Mandela is too much to ignore. Rather than deconstruct all of these ridiculous liberal CNN-isms and talking points, let’s just cut it down to brass tacks and stick to historical facts.
Apartheid as a political structure in South Africa was bad. Oppression under any guise is always wrong.
But with Apartheid you must step back to the geo-political map of 1976-1990 and evaluate the alternatives.
A bunch of stuff happened between the fall of the Shah of Iran and the collapse of the Berlin Wall / Soviet Empire which framed the backdrop for U.S. political discussion and eventual activity in South Africa.
Namely, for those of us who were actually engaged in the fight, the last big push of desperate Communist expansion was underway.  (more…)

Last week a New York City politician, Charles Barron, said the only way to stop black’s from punching Jewish people and non-blacks in the face was to pay blacks to stop.   This week another local politician steps forth to say it’s the Jew’s fault.

 NEW YORK – A local New York City politician and ally of mayor-elect Bill de Blasio says  the recent spate of “knockout” attacks in Brooklyn may stem from “a genuine  concern” about Jewish influence.
Laurie Cumbo, the councilwoman-elect for the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown  Heights, made the comments in an open letter posted to her Facebook page. In the letter,  Cumbo reports that many of her African-American constituents are alarmed by the  growth of the local Jewish community.
The resulting tension, she says, could have lead to a number of attacks on  Jewish residents that bear the hallmarks of a “game” in which teens attempt to  knock someone unconscious with one punch. (more…)

This is really over-the-top.    If you think anti-Semitism does not infect the highest reaches of all political offices this will essentially set you straight.   This is MUST READ stuff:
 Pam Geller and Robert Spencer are heroes of uncompromising magnitude.  They have educated millions of people on the intents and purposes of radical Islam.  While doing so they have held a spotlight on Culturally Marxist (Politically correct) infection that always accompanies such discussions.   As a consequence of their effectiveness they have been banned from travel to Great Britain.  So they began to send in records requests to find out what the official U.K state reasoning is behind their restrictions.  The “Official” records they have uncovered within Great Britain outline their visible support for the state of Israel is a reason for their being banned.   

( Pam Geller Writes )  The British government tried to cover its tracks. But a new cache  of documents Robert Spencer and I have received in our battle to overturn our  being banned from Britain reveal that a chief reason why we were banned from the  country was because we strongly support Israel.

As part of our lawsuit against  the Queen of England and the Home Secretary et al, we have received numerous  documents between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Office of Security  and Counterterrorism, and the Home Secretary. In one of them, an official in the  Foreign & Commonwealth Office whose name was redacted wrote this letter on  May 7 to a recipient whose name was also redacted: (more…)

Gee, ya think the “Senior Officials in the white house”… might be referring to DENIS MCDONOUGH / VALERIE JARRETT / SAMANTHA POWERS ? I mean that “desperate and weak” line is classic McDonough.
Remember too, Samantha Power, as U.N. Ambassador, is a cabinet level position in the Obama administration – and she hates Israel perhaps even more than ValJar.   Oh that Trifecta-of-Hate crew is going to be all kinds of defrosted if Netanyahu pokes back. You better believe it.    How dare a jew point fingers back at our Dear Leader.
The duo of McDonough and Jarrett are counting on this Iran deal to distract people from noticing their doctor has locked his/her door.   This White House will not allow themselves to be undermined – and absolutely not by Netanyahu.   This is a deal you cannot refuse.
WASHINGTON DC – Senior officials in the White House have said that Israel Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu “is desperate and weak,” in reaction to Netanyahu’s remonstrations against the deal struck with Iran over its nuclear weapons program.
Israeli television Channel 10quoted the officials as saying “His pronouncements show a lack of self-confidence,” in an unusually harsh personal attack on Netanyahu. “We are not perturbed by his vocal opposition.” (more…)

Backstory:  OK, so I’m doing research into the New York City Councilman, Charles Barron, (and his wife – but that’s a long story)….. anywho….  So Barron is the guy who said that Blacks would only stop punching Jews in the face if the blacks are paid to stop doing it.   {I’m paraphrasing him, but essentially that was his position}…

[So researching this guy a bit, against the backdrop of the new openly socialist mayor, will help me to understand the connect-a-dots of stories which will stem from New York City over the next election cycle (2014).   So the research, this type of research, is not generally what I would write up a post about – it’s usually just to help me understand what is going on in the mind of the people who may eventually be in the story discussion later.   Mental reference cards so-to-speak].

But amid the way out there EXTREME edges of ideological stuff on this guy, I found a video he himself put on U-Tube to openly assist his rise in the political world.
THIS – You just gotta see.   And remember, he is the one producing this – He is proud of this.   Watch the whole thing:

There’s a congressional race, yes, U.S. House of Representatives race, where this name “Barron” looks like it will surface. More on that later.
ps.  David Duke is supportive of this guy.  Yes, THAT David Duke.
