Update:  Alas, we were wrong – It appears President Obama did actually recognize Pearl Harbor Day – On his FaceBook Page, with… well, what else,… a picture of President Barack Obama of course – Duh

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…)

There is no mention in the accompanying report about former President Jimmy Carter joining a coalition of U.S. dignitaries for the Mandela funeral / memorial.

Could Mr Peanut have been excluded from invite because it was his administration who designated Nelson Mandela as an international terrorist?    Hmmmmmm….

Here’s the Politico article about who’s going –  […]  The younger Bush and former first lady Laura Bush “gratefully accepted” the invitation of President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama to travel aboard Air Force One, spokesman Freddy Ford said. The trip will be for “memorial services next week,” but Ford didn’t specify whether that means the Obamas and Bushes will attend a large memorial planned for Dec. 10 in Johannesburg or go to the state funeral set for Dec. 15 in Mandela’s hometown, and referred questions to the White House.    (read more details)

Last month in Lunenburg Massachusetts a bi-racial family claimed they were victims of racist attacks against their son.    The story gained massive media attention and was highlighted on CNN with Anderson Cooper’s AC360 show.
The claim (outlined in this video) was made against the backdrop of a white mother and black father claiming their bi-racial son was discriminated against on his football team and subjected to racist epithets.  To boost their claim they pointed to graffiti being spray painted on the side of their home, and they accused the football team of doing it.   The team coach took the accusation seriously and cancelled all football games until the suspect could be identified and arrested.

This launched a sympathetic “Hate Crimes” investigation which drew in the local police, the state police and the FBI.    Now, according to leaks within law enforcement, it was all a ruse.    The mother of the teen son spray painted her own house and is about to be busted by the FBI. (more…)

Expect to see a celebration of communism take place at the National Cathedral in Washington DC!

Apartheid, as a political structure, was wrong.  Oppression is always wrong.  It is antithetical to Freedom.   However, as much as Apartheid was antithetical to freedom of the majority – so to is Mob Democracy antithetical to freedom of the minority.

NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE:   The left needs a boost in the U.S.   Their progressive ideological systems, and subsequent sales pitches, are fraying under the now visible weight of consequence – most notably with Obamacare.
Expect to see a significant attempt to *use* the death of Nelson Mandela to pump up the associated progressive causes; the Che Guevara of Africa.
The claims of victimization, inherent in the ideological goals of the progressive left, need emotional boost to maintain their disconnect from the sunlight of actual and truthful consequence.     Nelson Mandela’s death presents an opportunity to return to the use of emotionally connected Cultural Marxism to advance their cause.
It will be large, it will be massive, it will be substantial – and it will take place using the full weight of the progressive left, the professional grievance industry, labor unions, socialists, communists, marxists and all forms of radical left-wing ideology. (more…)

Sheesh,…. Just when you may have thought it was ok to put the neon big lettered 1980’s white-guilt quilt/blankie back into a hermetically sealed box, South Africa’s version of Communist Che Guevara, Nelson Mandela, dies.

Dust off the Bob Geldof albums, wait…. no, that’s Sir Bob Geldof now…  see if you can find your Bono U2 cassettes, try to remember the words to “We Are The World”, and get ready to cry while listening to sorrowful Paul Simon VHS replays with tribal drumbeats and elephant cries.   How’d that James Taylor tune go again?…
Ya see, predictably we have to look forward to ten days of historical rewriting, and  simultaneously avoid mentioning the explosion of African AIDS and a never lost bromance between Muamar Kadaffi, Fidel Castro, and Winnie Mandela’s insta-meal ticket. (more…)

When Obama was proclaiming he was going to be “transparent”, I doubt the listeners actually understood what he was saying. For Dear Leader Obama, it’s always about Dear Leader Obama.
First we start with the “I”, “I”, “I”, speech about how Obama himself was the really important figure, the epicenter of anti-apartheid sentiment in South Africa, and how “he” thought of that other, now dead, Mandela guy.  (skip the video to the 2:00 minute mark)

The speech was followed up with this tweet from the White House showcasing how it is really Dear Leader Obama who deserves to be recognized today upon the passage of the other dead guy.

Wisconsin is one of those really progressive regions where the media talking about Black on White violence is strongly discouraged.  
Wisconsin is also the state which brought forth the collegiate “White Guilt” classes.
(PennLive) – With his blackened eyes and broken nose, Tim Bessette may just be the country’s latest victim of an urban crime wave known as the “knockout game.” Speaking from his hospital bed in Milwaukee this week, the 53-year-old says he’s lucky to be alive.

He remembers getting off the bus, walking down the street and encountering four youths. The next thing Bessette knew, he was sucker-punched in the nose. The world went black, and Bessette woke up on the pavement. And as he did, he heard the youths running away, joking and laughing. (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…)

 MINNESOTA – The politics of faux victimization are spiraling out of control at a community college in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where several white students, their black professor and irritated administrators have one-upped each other with complaints, reprimands and now a lawsuit.
The trouble began in English professor Shannon Gibney’s Introduction to Mass Communications class at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. Though the class ostensibly has little to do with race, Gibney considers herself an activist on racial issues, and frequently invokes white privilege and oppression during class time, according to her students. (She has previously taught classes on race and gender.)
Recently, several white students announced that they had had enough with Gibney’s incessant racial screed. They interrupted her during a lecture, and said, “Why do we have to talk about this in every class? Why do we have to talk about this?” according to Gibney’s account of the incident, which was recorded by the City College News. (more…)
