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!
