Benghazi Chain Of Command

    Last night around 11, John Batchelor was interviewing Monica Crawley, and he said with exasperation that Obama, H.Clinton. and Obama were now saying they had ordered military assets to rescue the Americans beseiged in Benghazi, but the chain of command broke down. If this is really what these three or any one of them is saying, it is absurd. Their duty is not only to issue orders but make sure those orders were obeyed. Did not Obama and Clinton go to bed? You go to bed while Americans including a American ambassador are under gunfire. In whose world? If this assertion by John Batchelor is true, then the three are either desperate for a way out of having killed four Americans or they have extreme contempt for the intelligence of the American people and the global village. Who is going to believe that line? If this is being said by any of the above three, where is the rest of America on this treachery, that just gets deeper and deeper?

Chicken-Shit From The Wall Street Journal

    Good money goes to my Wall Street Journal subscription and precious time is spent reading it and, later at night, listening to its staff on the John Batchelor Radio Show. I want more courage and less timidity of the elites. I consider WSJ an elite based upon it merit and know that it probaby has to be somewhat of political elite if it's going to survive being as honest as I think it usually is. But I want to see balls as well as intellect especially when I go out on the limb saying Obama and Hillary are murderers for not sending in a military rescue to Benghazi. I'd like some company, WSJ.  In your editorial today,"  Clinton's Benghazi Cover Story" you noted rightly that there was no military rescue during the 13 hour intermittent gun battle nor was there a plan for one. Impoverished Syrian refugees cross the Mediterranean by the thousands but our armed forces on which we the people spent trillions every year can't get across it. Nor can the mighty NATO which is stupidly pumping up it's muscle around the borders of Russsia get anyone to Libya either. Do you really think your readers, not the populist hoi polloi except for me perhaps who don't read you, but the elite of American business people who read you, are not demanding that you address that farce of "too far away." You didn't mention the unarmed drone over Benghazi either. Where did that come from?  You also didn't mention that the aid to the ambassador's residence and the aid from Tripoli were unauthorized. In both cases, Navy Seals did the right thing, the American thing (that's American exceptionalism) and headed out. The military and CIA elites basically gave in because they knew how traitorous and immoral their  refusal to let the Seals go was. Thankfully, two Deltas had some honor and courage too and accompanied the Tripoli Seal. You didn't note that none of the Seals were medaled, but the two Deltas were. Virtue again is its only reward. It was a chicken-shit editorial, and Mary, whom I listen to on the John Batchelor show, as head of the editorial board should hang her head in shame  and then get a testosterone shot stat! If her head can't tell her how to act like a woman, maybe her male hormones will.
WSJ had a tremendous amout to editoralize about, but it deserted its post just like Obama and H. Clinton deserted the Americans under gunfire at Benghazi.

Murder At Benghazi

    Hearing a guest being called upon to try to explain away the Benghazi murders on talk radio this morning, I felt compelled as an American to list the available military resources for the Americans at the CIA compound. As I see it, President Obama killed the four Americans - two Navy Seals, an American ambassador, and a communications expert from the State Department- by not providing them an American military rescue. I also see Hillary Clinton,  Secretary of State, as guilty of murder too as she did not oppose President Obama as she should have as an American citizen. The motivation for President Obama to commit murder was his re-election in about two weeks. He did not want an American gunfight and a heavier American "footprint" in Muslim lands.
This might have cost him votes as Americans were reputed to be sick of the warfare, and he claimed to be winding things down peacefully.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not object because she wanted Obama's support when she ran for president, and she wanted to get a pass from him for using an unsecured server to receive top secret government information at her home. Her only objection was that she not go on talk shows the next day and lie repeatedly that the attack was a peaceful demonstration that got out of hand. That job went to Susan Rice.
     I have 13 Hours beside me, on page 147, and will quote: "As the attack continued, Panetta later testified to Congress, two Marine security platoons stationed in Spain were ordered to prepare for deployment, one to Benghazi and the other to Tripoli. A Special Operations force in the midst of training exercise in Central Europe was ordered to prepare to deploy to a staging base in southern Europe. A US-based Special Operations team was told to get ready to travel to the same staging base.
    But in the end, none of them was sent to Benghazi."
    The only thing that came was an unarmed drone with cameras so the political and military elites could watch the events unfold.
    If pressed hard enought,  the president or Hillary may say that we had contracts with two local militias for protection, and they were waiting- 13 hours!- for them to respond and provide protection. Besides the obvious that you don't wait 13 hours during a gunfight, the militias were known to be unreliable. There's no wiggle room with the militias ploy, and it should only be tried with the brain-dead. But who knows the depth of contempt these elites have for ordinary people!
    If the ordinary people of Britain can vote their country out of the control of pampered, authoritarian elites in Brussels, certainly American ordinary people can vote pampered, authoritarian elites out of office in Washington and then demand justice for the deaths of two Navy Seals, one American ambassador who had no business being sent to homophobic Libya by the State Department because he was a homosexual, and one State Department communications expert. Of course this means that President Obama and Hillary Clinton will do everything and anything to get Hillary elected president so she can squash any attempts for justice for these men's deaths. The question is will they murder again to avoid justice? These are no more serious issues than what President Bush constantly faced from an infinitely larger audience, so let's look at them.

Florida Panther Sighted!

    I got a sighting report of a panther seen yesterday in Alachua County, Florida. The panther crossed the road, and the reporter immediately pulled off the road to watch him cross and disappear into some woods. The observer said if there had been any traffic, the big cat would have been hit as he seemed totally oblivious to the danger of walking across a road. The panther also "had the same color of a lion and behavior" meaning that he was tan and very regal in bearing. He was said to be very muscular and weighing about ninety pounds. He was not wearing a collar meaning Florida Fish and Wildlife had not captured him, evaluated his health, treated any problems they could, put a radio collar on him, woke him up, and let him go. Good luck, Buddy!
    If anyone has a panther or Bigfoot sighting in your past, I'd like to hear from you. 352-359-0850. It makes a very nice respite from currents events and our Islamic, gun-hating (for Americans) president. Come to think of it, Islamists seem to hate everything!

Don't Join ISIS! #2

    What if the seventy-some virgin somethings you are promised in heaven for waging jihad turned out to be raisins not virgins? Still be itching to blow yourself up or engage in a suicidal gunfight? The scholar Christophen Luxenberg believes that the words "white raisin" was mistranslated to "houri," the pleasure vessels for randy men in heaven. There is also mention of these vessels for semen being "voluptuous" which some say could only be a houri. But couldn't a raisin be appreciated as being voluptuous especially in the 7th Century where little things were greatly appreciated including full, juicy raisins?
    My identity of a mosque and an imman is that the mosque is, where possible, a place of beauty and dignity. Wouldn't talking about a cathouse as being heaven seem out of place? Doesn't it seem incongruent with immans who are serious, brilliant men who study Islam, history, and philosophy for years. I just can't see an imman preaching that your reward in heaven was going to be a whorehouse. It doesn't make sense. You don't need to be an imman to tell you that. Any talking rooster can do it. Finally, there is the issue of hypocrisy. Islam teaches that any earthly sex outside of marriage is forbidden. Young men who can't afford a wife have to burn like hell with sexual desire until they're willing to off themselves in some misadventure just to get some sexual relief in heaven. They can't have girlfriends, boyfriends, prostitutes, or married women (God forbid!) while on earth for sexual relief. Why two standards - on earth sex bad; in heaven fuck like hell? Why is something that is the be all and end all of heaven something that is forbidden on earth? There's the hypocrisy. If it's done in heaven, it ought to be allowed on earth- which I say has become a living hell for virile, young, Islamic men who are not rich. As someone who was a virgin until 21 and on the second night of his honeymoon, I identify with you guys. But get counseling, not explosives or guns. It's not a nice thing to do to
others or yourself especially when getting laid and loving and being loved by another human being, not a non-human like a houri, might make all the difference in the world.

Obama Brings It On Himself

    How can I appeal through American decency and honesty to people not to join ISIS if our own president isn't decent and honest? Have you ever heard or read of an American president telling the FBI and the Justice Department to lie about a mass murderer so he won't be identifed as an ISIS soldier to the American and world public? The only way you can work with that is to say there is something wrong with your president. In this case, I think the copious evidence points to him being an Islamist soldier himself, and I think people are afraid to say it because our country is in such a tumult - which is of the president's own making as he has sought to divide us for 8 years and apologize for us when he out of country as if we're bad. Isn't that all we hear from him- how bad this group or that group of Americans are? He forces the identification as an Islamist soldier onto himself.

Obama's Projects

    Someone is waking up to the American-led buildup of NATO troops encircling Russia. The Finance Minister of Germany had a very powerful word for it. He called it "war-mongering." And still the American government seems to know nothing about this, worn-out from their jobs, and only seeking a little bit of non-stress when they get home, unable to keep up with Obama hiding the mischief he's making. Why get into war with Russia? What a suicidal bomber Obama woul  turn out to be! He'd take the whole world with him. But would he do that to his family? If he really believed Sharia Islam. Plenty of very intelligent people are blowing up their vests. Why not Obama? He'd take out the main enemy of Sharia Islam- Russia, who knows how to fight and win against ISIS. They're the ones responsible for the steady shrinking of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, not the United States. Russia's learned from Afghanistan and Chechnya. There's been a recognition in the WSJ and on the John Bachelor Show that the world seems to have forgotten that a nuclear war is a no-go. So many live in a fantasy world where they think they are tatooed savages and enjoy animated, unbelievable movies, that they are so divorced from reality they may think they can survive a nuclear war. Even the high-school graduates at Ivy League Universities, think they know it all and seek safe places ( the new padded cell) where they won't have to see anything new, negative, or challenging. When are they going to apply for SSI?
    The other Obama project the American government, we the people, seem to be sleeping through is handing over the Internet to the control of Khomieni, Castro, Putin, Xi Jing, and that crazy man in North Korea. How will you like your website, your blogging and your e-mailing then? Insider guests on the John Bachelor Show say Obama's rationalization is that America is in a decline - thanks to him- so we may as well surrender the Internet to the strong nations, and maybe our gentlemanly, read"cowardly," ways will rub off on them. That's about as sane and effective as "leading from behind!" If you are an American, that is. Big if!
    So wake up, American government! You're about to have your employees get you into a war with Russia and hand over the Internet to your enemies. Can you possibly find the time to do something about these little issues? What to do? Call your government representatives and tell them you're not interested in war with Russia caused by NATO blustering at the Russian border with war-like manuvers such as "Operation Spearhead." Are they crazy? They want to "spearhead" a drive into Russia? Where are a few good men and women?  Also tell your very privileged - since they don't have a real job like you- representatives that you want continued American control of the Internet and you want them to support the bill co-sponsored by Ted Cruze to do just that. Wake up American government before it's too late. We've never had an Islamist president before. Deal with it!

Obama Hides Mateen's Words

    The day the WSJ, Wall Street Journal, covered the Islamic massacre at the Plume nightclub in Orlando, I read an excerpt of what President Obama said about it. One thing Obama said was it was not "definitive" why Mateen had killed the nightclubbers. Then I read farther into the newspaper and first found that Mateem had compared himself to the Islamic Boston Bombing Brothers during his call to the police. Burying further into the WSJ, I found a witness said Mateen had yelled "Allahu Akabar" - long live Allah- as he shot down unarmed homosexuals and their friends like the little lambs they were. These references aren't definitive? Do you wonder why I call Obama anti-American and the Islamic Manchurian Candidate?
    Here's today's evidence: The WSJ chronicles that some Republicans elites found their previously missing-in-action parts and had the gumption, the gumption, I remind you, to criticize the Obama Apparatus for taking out references to the Islamic State and its pitiful leader, Abu Bakr, the caliph of the caliphate that is about to end in spite of Obama. Obama was caught taking out parts of the FBI report that identified Mateen as a mujahideen who would give his life for the caliph and the caliphate. Indicating that he had taken his testosterone shot, House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke out against Obama: "We know that the shooter was a radical Islamic extremist inspired by ISIS. We also know he intentionally targeted the LGBT community. The administration should release the full, unredacted transcript so the public is clear-eyed about who did this and why."
    It isn't about gun control or homophobia( except that it is Islamist homophobia) as the anti-president says it is.  What I put on the back of my truck cap today says it all: "ISIS Will Give A U.S. Terrorist A Gun." The Islamic State ( now here's some jobs the president has actually created) could probably deliver the gun by a drug runner's submarine surfacing off Tampa and then using a drone stolen from Amazon to drop the gun at the Islamist Mateen's front door.

Yeah, Tax Us!

    Last month, the pitiful number of only 25,000 new jobs in the private - read "producing"- sector was created in the USA. This number sounds like it belongs to some socialist banana republic but no it's us, under the anti-American president. For all the jaw-boning the president and his misguided minions give us about the predatory corporate world (on the other hand, they are hardly angels either), we have the highest corporate tax in the world at 39 percent. Diana Roth in the WSJ says that for twenty years most nations have been decreasing their corporate tax but we persist in being anti-business. Where is the money going to come from? Since the economic slide of 07-08, caused by Janet Reno and her minions threatening banks with legal actions if they didn't grant sure-to-fail mortgages to unqualified applicants, the Federal Reserve has pumped almost four trillion unbacked greenbacks into the economy, trying to light its fire. It's only sputtering because Obama keeps making the business enviroment not only unfriendly to growth but to existence. I tell you he is the Manchurian Candidate. Whom do you think he talks to at night in his private office in the residence at the White House and receives his orders for how to cripple America further the next day? I think it's the Supreme Ayotallah of Iran. People are almost afraid to go to work because they don't know if the IRS, the EPA, or the Labor Department is going to charge them with something they didn't know they were doing wrong, and then they will be humiliated by the force majeure of the FBI making they frog-march out of their offices in front of everyone. I say reframe that march to the march of a patriot. Just like the blacks know that street arrests are often blown way out of proportion, the white collars should get the same attitude and not automatically hang their heads if they think they didn't do anything. Be proud of doing your part to earn a good living. In the aggregate, it floats all boats. Even the people on welfare get more if you earn a lot because that means you are taxed a lot. And don't you know it!
    It looked for a while that Trump would be, in a world of thugs, our thug, But now Hllary sounds more masculine than he does. She delivers speeches with some meat (often poisoned meat) in them and does so with a serious, measured manner. But Trump only tweets, and he sounds weak, emotional, and feminine. He needs to be ditched. You telling me that if he did shoot someone as he said, we couldn't ditch him because the delegates are bound to him? Of course, we can ditch him. Things change, especially over time. Times proven he's a wienie plus he has lied over and over again. We owe a liar no allegiance. Jock up, if there's anything there, Republican party elites, and ditch Donald Trump.

Thinking About Joining Islamic State?

To my fellow Americans thinking about joining the Islamic State: Don't do it.
There's no honor or glory in it. The friendship and camaraderie they offer you is highly conditional. You have to be a slave to their ideas to get along. If you are lonely and at odds with much that you find going on in your life, I urge you to try to tell it to others. If you don't know anyone you can talk to about what really hurts you, I understand. I've been there. You can't tell friends because they don't have time, and they might tell others. Your family maybe doesn't want to listen but wants to preach and be disappointed by you instead of hearing you. The best advice I can give you is to suggest talking therapy. Try to find yourself a counselor or therapist who specializes in Cognitive Therapy. It is the kind of therapy where you can discuss your feelings and the ideas that lay behind your feelings. Then the therapist will discuss the rationality of your ideas while remaining very respectful of you. It is rational, very respectful talking and discussing. He does not tell you what to do, unlike the radical Islamists. He leaves that up to you, as he should. He respects your individuality. He does not take advantage of your problems, your pain, to mold you into his idea or even Allah's suppossed idea of how you are to think and behave.
    I've got to wrap this up now so let me ask you to contact a therapist or a psychotherapy - a pretentious word, I think- business and tell the person you are interested in Cognitive Therapy. If they don't offer it, ask them, "Do you know of anyone who does Cognitive Therapy?" When you find someone, ask for a sliding scale. Money is a big problem, but it's better than any alternative like having to be liked by some ruler to get your basic needs and more fulfilled. Here's another idea: Go to a priest or minister and ask for counseling to discuss your dissatisfaction with where you are in life right now and ask him if he can talk with you without bringing up God, Allah, Jehovah, Buddha -Whatever- and anything related to God or Whatever. If he's interested in you as a person, as I am, then he will hear you and talk to you without trying to convert you. Did this help you? Don't get involved in the Islamic State, man. They kill babies, children, men, and rape and enslave girls and women. You're a better man than that no matter how angry or lonely or down you are. Two wrongs don't make a right.

ISIS Will Mail Guns To Terrorists

    Big news for the Crackers whose answer to everything is "Ban it!" First, it doesn't work. Just look at banning alcohol during the Prohibition. It turned out to be a joke. Look at the War On Drugs. It's turned out to be a sick joke that benefits the police and their unions, lawyers, judges and their staff, correction officers and their unions, and most currently, private penitentiaries. It's all these people's and institutions' welfare system. But like all sick jokes, somebody gets hurt, and in this case, it is we, the people, who get hurt by being arrested, fined, and incarcerated for drug use and drug sales. And all the activity by the mentioned people and institutions makes no difference. People not only still buy, sell, and take drugs but they do so in increasing numbers. The people have spoken, and politicians need to be listening to their constituents. People want a right to their own bodies. Government employees have no rights to the bodies of the people. The people do. Now we are hearing the shallow, ignorant screams that guns, at least "assault" weapons should be banned. That is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Guns are good for they allow Granny in her rocker to defend herself against a gang of evil weightlifters who want to rape her to death. It is the Great Equalizer. If only one person had a gun at the Orlando Plume in addition to the Islamist shooter! If a terrorist wants a gun, no matter how much it is banned in America, all he has to do is notify the Islamic State, and it will send him a gun in the mail or by UPS or some other carrier. Face it,
hysterical Crackers, if you ban "assault" rifles and the ban worked, it would make the situation worse because then the terrorists would have to use bombs, and bombs are extremely hard to find plus they blow up buildings which are very expensive to rebuild. Do you hear me? If guns were banned and it worked, the difference would be worse! Welcome to reality.

Obama Wants A Russian War

    What is our anti-American, just as white as he is black, president doing with massing NATO forces around Russia? Russia was given assurances that NATO would not go into former Russian colonies. So why is Obama doing it? Peter - known to us as St. Petersburg- is now within artillery range of NATO forces. What would we Americans be demanding if Russia had artillery in Canada or Mexico that could reach Seattle or San Diego? We'd be demanding the artillery be gone or else! This is what the Russian people are demanding about the NATO artillery. Putin is being very pacific by not listening to his citizens. So far! A NATO much ballyhooed manuever which is started by effeminantly cutting a red ribbon is called Anaconda 16. It even includes German troops! Do you have any idea how offensive and arrogant it is massing German troops on Russia's border? Russia lost a million soldiers repulsing the German Army during World War ll. NATO is supposed to be defensive. What is defensive about an anaconda - a snake that can get as long as 30 feet and wraps himself around his victim and squeezes his victim to death by constriction and viciously bites his victim as he strangles him? Anaconda 16 is an aggressive appellation and is totally inappropriate for NATO's use. Do not think I am the only one alarmed by NATO's aggressiveness. The Russian people are too. An association for American atomic energy scientists has set its doomsday clock on only two minutes before midnight. Then Obama's party is over, and the nuclear bombs begin raining down on America as Russia thinks it's best chance to survive is to strike America first. Why isn't the cracker media telling you about this? Because they want it to happen? They're so arrogant and ignorant they think they can survive a nuclear holocaust? The anti-American president has left us a ruined economy, a ruined health care policy, a ruined military, and a plan to disarm Americans when they are being shot down and bombed out by Sharia Muslims all over America. Is Obama's Final Solution for the America he is always apologizing for nuclear war?
