Climate Disconnect

There seems to be a disconnect between macro and micro governments’ statements and actions recently.

Governments, Al Gore and David Suzuki all tell us that cars contribute to pollution, greenhouse gases and therefore global warming, which is apparently a bigger threat to the earth than Iranian nuclear missiles. They also say we have too many cars, leading to congestion and therefore we must be taxed in the future for the privilege of using private vehicles. Thus, we need to cut back on private travel, garbage is going to be collected once every 2 weeks, and postal service will be once a day only on weekdays, but not to one’s door. By the way, North American car companies, please take $40 billion to continue to make shoddy second-rate vehicles in an inefficient and costly manner compared to your competitors.

He is not the Messiah

It seems that most of the world’s population regard B H Obama as a Messiah. Apparently, he is going to redeem the historic sins of others, create new non-polluting energy sources and deliver democracy to all corners of the earth by dint of his great rhetoric. All this, from a man who has never held a job in the real world.

He is not the Messiah, he is a very consummate politician and a very naughty boy.

Umbrella - Rihanna's or Obama's?

Obama’s nuclear umbrella plan is stupid on so many levels. Perhaps, he has been listening to Rihanna’s Umbrella song and he has based his strategic understanding on the lyrics. Any Israeli government going along with it, would also be grossly negligent. Let's look at what America and Israel have to lose.

America

• Attack on Israel will not come directly from Iran. Therefore no response will be possible because there will be plausible deniability. Attack will come from a terrorist group handed the weapons surreptiously by Iran, and either Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad (as if there is any other sort of jihad), or a newly named terrorist group will launch it from the borders of Gaza, Lebanon or Judea/Samaria. Therefore, the USA and Israel will be unable to say definitively that Iran attacked, and a response’s rationale would be undermined.
• Why would the USA attack Iran in any event? The attack is not on them, so why would the US populace open itself to attack?
• Iran’s leaders do not care about a US response. It is part of their doomsday belief, and they have stated it will bring about the return of the hidden Imam. They don’t care if Iran is destroyed, their first loyalty is to Islam and they wish for a judgment day. A nuclear attack is no threat to them, and the men that die can go off to heaven as martyrs to enjoy their virgins in eternal sexual bliss.
• In any event, given Islam’s bloody borders, does the free world really want Iran producing nuclear weapons to hand out to their designated terrorists? This gives them a free hand to carry on with the production.

Israel

• Forgoing the sovereign right of a nation to defend itself
• Israel’s tiny size means it cannot afford to take a nuclear hit and survive in a radioactive landscape
• Israel would be trusting America to respond when then is no real advantage to the USA. It will be too late to call the USA on a failure to respond, because the damage would already be done.

No handcuffs in Afghanistan

We keep hearing of brave NATO troops murdered in Afghanistan mainly by sneaky IEDs. Strategic reports indicate that NATO is losing ground to the Taliban, is it not time that the handcuffs are taken off our soldiers?

This is a war, and should not be fought as a peacekeeping mission to win hearts and minds. The Taliban brutalizes village after village, and after torture, wipes out those who do not aid them. It is time that the NATO forces show that there is a price to be paid for co-operating with terrorism, and that handing out candies is not an adequate response to sneak attacks. It is time that the defenders of democracy are allowed to go after the support mechanisms of the bullies who base their operations in mosques, schools, hospitals and homes. It may be harsh, but war is a nasty business and cannot be won by being nice.

If NATO is not allowed to fight properly, we will continue to see an attrition of lives lost to booby traps and ambushes, and there is no point in continuing this strategy that cannot win. In that case, withdraw from Afghanistan, and raze from above those areas from which terrorism is formulated, financed and dispatched. NATO has the air power to do it. In the long run, more soldiers and innocents will be saved than the soft approach.

Hispanic trend in the US election of Obama

Just as Spain’s electorate rewarded those that did harm to its country, so the American electorate did the same. A sneak attack on civilians and financial infrastructure has eventually led to the current turmoil in the US. To solve their troubles, US voters turned their backs on John McCain, a good man who sacrificed his body and health for their country, and instead looked towards a man who asks what their country can sacrifice for him. McCain historically voted on what is best for the USA and democracies, and was not hindered by ideological biases.

Whilst I have sympathy for some of Obama’s proposed domestic policies, the dangers emanating from Iran, North Korea and a resurgent Russia make Obama the wrong choice at this critical time. Appeasing the undemocratic bodies swamping the UN, and then imposing additional tax burdens and spending on US citizens in the midst of an economic crash are quite simply, catastrophic policies. The Western World is still picking up the pieces from the inept reign of Jimmy Carter, and if we survive it, we will also be picking up the pieces of the global economy and security from Obama’s reign 30 years hence.

US economic power could easily be damaged beyond repair by the proposed actions of Obama. Britain did not negotiate with Germany during WWII when things were dire, and yet the Allies are about to negotiate with the evil that is the Taliban in Aghanistan. This is not the time for a soft President, but to the delight of jihadis everywhere, the candidate they wish for is the next President of the USA. The end is nigh for democracies.

1930's happy days are here again

We are seeing history of the 1930’s repeat itself. There is a crash of the world’s markets, and we have Iran vicious aggressive leaders spouting hatred and evil, and their plans of action. Media and diplomatic outlets are interpreting what is being said by a potential mass murderer suffering from messianic delusions, and advising us that Ahmadinejad does not really mean what he is saying, or that perhaps he has a bit of a point.

Hitler told the world what he was going to do, and he did it. Ahmadinejad has told us what Iran is going to do.

It was up to the US electorate to determine whether or not he gets a chance to put his plan into action. They chose wrong. Barack Obama, thine middle name is “Appeasement”.

US Presidential Election 2008 - the Result

No less than the future of democracy will be voted upon, and its result will determine whether or not we in the Western world will face nuclear attack. Iran will soon be producing nuclear weapons, and there are even rumours that recent earthquake reports in southern Iran mask explosive tests.

Obama wants to talk to a government whose main spokesman has repeatedly threatened genocide, even in speeches at the UN, and yet Ahmadinejad received rousing applause and a hug from the President of the UN General Assembly.

McCain stated that a nuclear tipped Iran cannot be allowed to happen. If you were one of the doomsday merchants ruling Iran, who would you want to win the US election.

Once Obama is elected, Iran will get nukes. Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other terrorist groups with names that change daily but who all have similar aims, will be the beneficiaries of these weapons, and they will use them. Iran will thus maintain plausible deniability, yet still hopefully (in their eyes) hasten the “return of the Mahdi”.

At that time, the economy, healthcare, abortion rights and green programs will pale into insignificance.

Beijing Olympics have finished and the winner is China

Apparently the Olympics have finished. Can anyone remember if Tibet is still occupied and being colonized by non-indigenous people, who have nothing to do with Tibet historically, ethnically or culturally? Just curious.

Curiousity may kill the CERN

It has been reported that tests being performed by the Large Hadron Collider at the European Nuclear Research Centre (“CERN”) will result in the creation of innumerable mini black holes. Most physicists have ascribed to the theory that these mini black holes will vanish in an instant.

However, others suggest that one of the black holes may expand rapidly and swallow the Earth, and other surrounding matter. CERN are reported to claim that the test is crucial to revealing the secrets of universe’s very existence, and that the test will recreate the immediate aftermath of the Big Bang. Why is it so vital to understand the mechanism of existence? Is it worth risking our existence, even remotely, to know how it happened in the first place? This exercise reminds me of the story of the Tower of Babel but hopefully we can discuss this further in the future.

Obama's "epics"

I would prefer it if Obama stopped using the best lines from movies and TV series in his speeches (e.g. Armageddon and Babylon 5 via Abraham Lincoln).

Please feel free to note the other films from which he has lifted lines for his speeches.

Everybody wants to rule the world

The more that I see of Obama and his coterie, the more I have a feeling of increasing unease. Leaving aside all policy issues, it is alarming that his whole career, political and otherwise, has been crafted to the dynamics of achieving the presidency of the USA. I am not floating a lunatic conspiracy theory, it is merely unsettling that he has wanted the presidency so much. Every vote, every position has been structured for years in preparation for this launch to power. Some reports even have him saying he wanted to be president when writing an assignment in grade school in Indonesia.

In my experience, when someone has desperately wanted a job or task, and they are prepared to do almost anything to get it, those are precisely the people who should be barred from the position. Some sacrifices must be made in order to obtain high office, I am just troubled that Obama seems to have stuck to a plan for decades whilst planning his ascent to the loftiest post. Clearly, he has demonstrated a ruthlessness indicating that anyone, and anything, may be up for sacrifice in his quests for whatever it is that he wants. And if most of Europe wanted him to be elected, then that is the clinching concern for me.

Political correctness is not mentally balanced

I am heartily sick of seeing the politically correct stance of providing both sides of selected arguments. There is right and there is wrong, there is good and there is evil. Just because someone holds honestly derived abhorrent views does not mean that these ought to be aired. Hitler held his views honestly but I do not want to read Mein Kampf.


Ones does not give an audience to flat earth advocates when you read about spaceflight. You do not provide a wrong mathematical answer as an alternative to a proven theorem. You should not provide airtime for the lunatic conspiracy theorists of 9/11 who refuse to accept what they saw with their own eyes or the terrorists who have claimed “credit” for the monstrosity (oh, except that sometimes media outlets do, because it has somehow been adopted as an alternative history by people full of hate).

Today, we see which self-styled soldiers target civilians for murder and behead those that fall into their clutches. It is not hard to see that which is wrong and evil.

Terrorists have values, they are just not the same as Western ideology

Shehzad Tanweer is one of the four terrorists who blew themselves up on three trains on the Tube (London Underground) and a bus in July 2005. On hearing of the memorial party for Tanweer's "soul" in the Pakistani village where his remains are buried, Andrew Dismore, MP for Hendon said: “Most Muslims would be absolutely horrified, as I am, that Shehzad Tanweer is being remembered by some people as a martyr.”

I doubt it. Infidels don't count so why would they be remotely upset about the terrorist attack itself? Loyalty is to Allah, and it is unfortunate for them that a Muslim had to die in committing his heinous act. Tanweer was brought up in the UK with this moral education, and it is why there are plenty more Tanweers about. It is a mistake to ascribe Western moral values to the way of thinking that creates Tanweers and his ilk. Political correctness now prohibits thoughts that people are actually different in their views.

42 days Out of Jail Free Card

The terrorists now know that they only have to hold out for 42 days and then they will go free, with Cherie Blair and her entertainment friends waiting to spring them and give bail monies (e.g. Vanessa Redgrave). The soft talkers are happier to let terrorist attacks take place, and claim that this is more important in protecting liberty, rather than monitor society and halt the traitors and their support enablers. Anyone can monitor me, because I am not conspiring to commit murder. What about the liberties of those who want to live in a free democratic society and who do not seek to maim and murder those who hold different views? What about the liberties of those who seek to defend themselves from terrorism, and who are now being criticised for not allowing themselves to be given an ultimatum of surrender or die? This reduction to 42 days from what the police sought on the very day after a terrorist's wife is being locked up for allowing his dastardly attempt to proceed. We should hold them until they give up actionable intelligence, and only then think about giving them common criminal rights. These are not common criminals that the Act is aimed at.

Talking about freedoms that grandparents fought for? How many of the terrorists' forefathers were on the side of freedom in WWII? Why was the Grand Mufti in Berlin at the side of Adolf during WWII? The terrorists have been on the side of fascists and totalitarianism throughout history, and they continue to be.

Women and Children first (for terrorists)

I was amused to see the manner in which Hassan Nazirallah called for an open war with Israel. Surely the way to conduct an open war is not by hiding in an underground bunker (like his hero, Hitler) and dialing in the threat via a video. One of his henchmen should advise him that things did not turn out well for the last anti-semitic tyrannical psychopath who hid in a concrete hole.

If he wants to be a shahid in an open war, then instead of others making others do his dirty work, perhaps it is time for him to emerge into the sunlight and fight a straight fight. It would make a welcome change for the terrorist hordes to fight that way, although they continue to live by their creed of “women and children first”, for targetting.

Farewell tour

Whilst on his current trip to the Middle East, President Bush has pledged to return to Israel in the near future. I think that this is a good idea for him, because due to his actions, he will not be able to visit Israel again in the medium future, or beyond. He could sell his next visit as a "farewell tour", not just to his presidency, but to Israel itself.

By reducing Israel to the Auschwitz borders of the ceasefire lines of 1948, and forcing it to donate land to a theocratic thugocracy, it will not be long before Hamastine exists throughout the area in which Israel currently exists. He wanted a legacy, and this destruction of a democracy will be it. With "friends" like this, who needs enemies?
