History is replete with the failures of man, it highlights his cruelty, his desires, and often reveals his true nature no matter what social or moral standards have been established.
In 1895 the English author H. G. Wells laid out the exact template for how The United States would be overtaken by a brutal enemy that is completely malicious and incapable of mercy. Decades later in 1938 the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, directed and narrated by actor and filmmaker Orson Welles, put that sordid template into action.
While I don’t know if H. G. or Orson were communists, nor do I care, the template and plan of attack is the focus not their personal philosophies. With only the spoken and written word both convinced a nation that is was being overtaken by a foreign invader that sought their complete subjugation. The same holds true today, but it’s done in soundbites, and digital form with far greater speed and reach.

(Via YNet) Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that he doesn’t support the Palestinian-led “boycott, divest, sanction” campaign against Israel but said products made in Palestinian territories should be clearly labeled so buyers can make a choice about them.
Carter told The Associated Press in an interview that he and the other retired senior leaders known as the “Elders” recently discussed the economic pressure campaign against Israeli presence in the West Bank. The Elders group was formed by Nelson Mandela in 2007, and includes senior and retired leaders who work together on peace-building and humanitarian initiatives.
“We decided not to publicly endorse any kind of embargo, or so forth, against Israeli invasion, or occupying troops in Palestine,” Carter said.

The Malaysian authorities are seemingly incapable of confronting the severity of the issues which would surround the disappearance of flight 370.    Western media, trapped inside the zone of political correctness, are unwilling to dig through the obfuscation.

Islam and Radical Muslim issues around a hijacking are far too disconcerting for the central Asian authorities to confront.   They just don’t want *that* conversation.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — It was the unwelcome, anguishing news that families of the missing had dreaded, and when they heard it from Malaysia’s prime minister Monday night there were shrieks and intense heartbreak: The missing Malaysian Airlines flight whose fate was a mystery that consumed the world had crashed into a remote corner of the Indian Ocean.

The news, based on fresh evidence gleaned from an unprecedented analysis of satellite data, meant it was all but impossible that any of the 239 passengers and crew on board the jetliner could have survived.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the Big Money (K-Street) influence within the Establishment GOP.   The CoC’s President is Tom Donohue.   The CoC has three 2014 demands of Republicans:

• 1.  Keep ObamaCare intact at all costs.
• 2.  Get Immigration Reform and Amnesty Legislation passed.
• 3.  Support Common Core federal education standards in all 50 states.

The CoC has committed to attack any non-establishment Republican candidate who does not support their objectives.   The CoC has pledged tens of millions toward defeating Tea Party candidates.   Karl Rove is one of the SuperPacs carrying out their agenda.  Now Today:
FLORIDA – (Via Liberal Miami Herald)  Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor and a leading contender in the early GOP race for the White House, has fashioned himself as the “education governor.”
But on Friday, Bush went veggie.
“I was the kind of the Eat Your Broccoli Governor,” Bush joked at the Broward Workshop business breakfast where he pointed out that his policies weren’t always perceived as sweet. […]
Bush has advocated for pathways to citizenship and residency for illegal immigrants, enhanced border security and immigrant tracking technology and an emphasis on admitting immigrants based on the nation’s needs, not family relationships with current U.S. citizens.

CNN was previously outed by their own producers for accepting payments from foreign governments to shape their television coverage.   In this report CNN is caught again manipulating news coverage to assist a government – this time Venezuela. 

It should be noted that in all of the examples of CNN accepting payments – they only actually manipulate/delete coverage, or prop up regimes who support leftist ideologies.  

(Via Newsbusters) […] it was a drone camera whose video corrected the false impression left by a CNN en Español report that there was somehow an equivalency in the size of competing demonstrations on Saturday in Caracas, Venezuela. As Daniel Duquenal of Venezuela News and Views complained, the CNN en Español report by Guillermo Arduino gave only closeup shots of competing Chavista and opposition demonstrations.
The YouTube ID of 6Yn1qcSphBQ?feature=player_embedded is invalid.
However, the drone eye in the sky revealed the vast panoply of the opposition demonstration that seemed to number in the hundreds of thousands. Here is the post by Duequenal explaining why he was so irked by the CNN en Español report: (more…)

Set to increase his influence exponentially Russia’s Vladimir Putin must be smiling broadly.   
Already in strong geo-political, economic and diplomatic alignment with Iran.   Now helping Egypt in their freedom fight to rid themselves of the Muslim Brotherhood and expanding military bases in Alexandria; and essentially set up to declare victory in Syria.  Putin has become the anti-Obama.
In essence you have Obama’s only Middle East Geo-Political ally as Turkey’s *Erdogan.    Jordan is trying to stay in the middle, Syria, Iran, and now Egypt aligning with Russia albeit for different reasons.
TEL AVIV – Arab countries in the Middle East widely expect Syrian President  Bashar al-Assad to win the rebel-led insurgency that has been targeting his  regime for the last three years, thereby strengthening Russia’s presence in the  region.
The anticipated victory will further solidify the position of the large  Russian Navy fleet docked at Syria’s Tartus port. That position is more  strategic now that Russia has seized the Ukrainian naval headquarters located in  Sevastopol, where Moscow stationed its Black Sea Fleet.
Control of both the Tartus and Sevastopol ports provides Russia, under  President Vladimir Putin, with open access to the Mediterranean, the Indian  Ocean and beyond for both military and energy needs. (more…)

The Chamber of Commerce and Tom Donohue, must be funneling a lot of money into Rene Elmer’s campaign.   She is certainly advocating their position(s):

1. Keep ObamaCare intact regardless of what your constituents want.
2. Get Amnesty Legislation passed at all costs.
3. Keep Selling Common Core education to the sheeple masses.

(Via PJ Media)  Yesterday, Ron Woodward of NC Listen reported on a meeting he had with Renee Ellmers on the topic of immigration and amnesty. He claimed he had exited the meeting appalled both by her positions and by her behavior.
One of the constituents attending the meeting recorded the conversation.
The Randolph Tea Party posted the clips online, and exclusively forwarded the links to PJ Media. Four clips of the meeting are embedded below.
At one point, Ellmers says of Woodard: “You don’t have any damn facts.”  (read more)

As just another idiot with an opinion here’s my best guess as to what’s happened with that Malaysian Flight 370… and why we’re here today – two weeks later.

I think it was definitely a hijacking – with full cooperation from the pilot(s).
I think it was carried out by Islamic extremists and frustrated activists.
I think the Malaysian’s were caught off guard and their projected mask of “moderate Islam” has made them incapable to act.  There is so much they just don’t want to admit.
I think the Pilot, Co-pilot and at least the two Iranian passengers were involved.
I think Iran and/or Pakistan are the best suspects for plan origination – and quite possibly both of them. (more…)

Make no mistake about it, I’ve followed this relationship closely for 7 years – Prime Minister Recep Erdogan and U.S. President Obama are absolute best friends.  During all G-20 meetings they hang out together one-on-one during free time.   Bestest pals.
TURKEY – Turkey has blocked access to Twitter, hours after Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan vowed to close down the social media platform.
“We now have a court order. We’ll eradicate Twitter. I don’t care what the international community says. Everyone will witness the power of the Turkish Republic,” Erdoğan said at his campaign rally in the western city of Bursa on March 20, 10 days before the upcoming local elections.
The Press Advisory of the Prime Ministry later clarified Erdoğan’s statement, arguing that Twitter officials currently “ignore” some court rulings in Turkey, which order the social media platform to “remove some links” as per the complaints filed by Turkish citizens.  (read more)
