The Future Lead Dog of the Axis of Evil
by Scott Ryan

Not too many "experts" are going to be willing to go as far as I with that title but they will come around in a few years.  The rogue islamic nations of the world have a friend in China (and Russia) but that's another column.  First they have some triumphs they must achieve in the financial world and they are well on course to that end.  A commercial was featured today on Special Report with Bret Baier that was amazingly similar in substance to the opening of a column I wrote in February of 2010. The commercial was well produced and was exactly the scenario I had in mind; so I am featuring it here at TableOfWisdom followed by the original column.  Much of what was written is unfortunately coming to fruition, especially in light of an enormously significant story reported just a few days ago.

The head of the Shanghai Gold Exchange told a conference there that Chinese imports of gold for 2010 through October were 209.7 tonnes, compared to 45 tonnes for the whole of 2009. This is a bombshell…” –Marketwatch.com


The commercial begins in a futuristic classroom in Beijing, China and the teacher is lecturing on the topic “Why do great nations fail?” The commercial speaks for itself so without further ado…


My column from last February begins with that very premise and continues the lecture that the commercial did not have time to elucidate. So without further ado, let’s take a trip back to February, 2010:

The Most Deadly Platitude of the 21st Century
by MrArbitrage
Independent, time-stamped source http://ragingdebate.com/economy/the-most-deadly-platitude-of-the-21st-century-1 (originally featured at TableofWisdom.com)

"While watching Special Report on Fox News this evening I heard panelist Charles Krauthammer make a naïve, yet common statement regarding our strategic position with China.

In regard to the China situation, there exists a false sense of leverage and invincibility by Americans that is very dangerous and I feel it is worthy of a column. I like to view each day through the lens of history. I’m not talking about the obvious need to look to -past –history. I like to look at us –today- through the perspective of future generations sitting in their classrooms, talking about the obvious warning signs that led to the destruction of the United States of America (the way we used to do with Rome) and what could have been done had the people not fallen asleep, become too preoccupied with themselves and used some common sense. We need to soberly view it this way in order to avoid having it become a reality.

What we are seeing happen with the US and China is a subject about which I have been warning since we granted China “Most Favored Nation Status” and “Permanent Normal Trading Relations” This is the type of ineptitude and short sightedness the federal government has in recent years been providing and it arguably leads to most of our self-induced national crises.

Charles Krauthammer mitigated the severity of the situation by making the statement so often used as a rationalization for gambling with our national security (all so some corporations could make a few quick bucks to keep up with the rigorous demands of shareholders). Remember the story of Noah? All the people ridiculed and mocked him for building this great boat, especially when they had never seen rain. As the rain finally started coming down, they were still laughing a bit - but suddenly there was a bit of uneasiness in their voices. That reminds me of how the “national conversation” seems to be going these days. Their disdainful cry of “protectionist” and “isolationist” seem to be slightly abating as they grudgingly cover the obvious signs that something isn’t quite right with their "friend".

Krauthammer was talking about how China is making demands to the United States. (One is that Obama is not to visit the Dalai Lama but there have been many recent tensions with China that will escalate.) He said spoke about the possibility of the Chinese dumping dollars as a reprimand for our approval of new arms sales to Taiwan. His critical mistake is the same assumption that he and all of our reckless policy makers have long made while undermining our sovereignty to this rabid dog. He thinks that the Chinese are just flexing their muscle but they will not follow through because as he stated “they are as dependent on us as we are upon them”.

As I use my technique of viewing today through the eyes of a future history class on Fallen Nations and Empires, I see that specific statement as the most deadly platitude of the 21st century. The lethal assumption is that if China continues to sell down the dollar and dump their treasuries - since they have such enormous exposure to treasuries - they would be hurting themselves as much as they would be hurting us. Concluding that “they would never do it” based upon that notion is a terrible miscalculation by people who do not know or understand their enemy. Make no mistake, communism –is- our enemy.

Not only do they underestimate the barbarism of their communist enemy (whom many of these incompetents deem to be our “friends” or “partners”), they also show a lack of understanding of economics and hedging strategies.

Two KEY POINTS of gross negligence:

1. They underestimate the barbarism of our adversary as they are thinking from the perspective of traditional American leaders, with American values. Americans love freedom and get to elect our government. We used to elect people to represent us who rejected communism and its religion atheism. Therefore, our representatives had to represent our values and to some degree, although much less these days, we elected people who shared the values in our Declaration that we are created equal and that we had inalienable RIGHTS, which came from our Creator. God fearing representatives were extensions of ourselves, therefore, they would abhor the brutal tactics necessary to implement communism and would make policy decisions that would not hurt the people who put them there. They sometimes fell short but most would not deliberately hurt their constituents.

Communists don’t have constituents and their people do not have guns. Communists come to power by doing horrible things to people against their will. They do not care about their slaves, nor do they have to. Their god Friedrich Nietzsche taught them that the people exist for the purpose of functioning as a scaffold, to prop up the superior (themselves). When man is reduced to these terms, the maniacs in charge will do anything to them that they see fit. Just in 1996, before we propped them up, the Chinese were so desperate - a congressional report notified us that China was then selling the organs of their dissident prisoners on the black market – so they could finance the red army! That’s not very compassionate.

2. A “death blow” to the United States will not have the same effect on them as our naïve policy makers have long maintained because China has been positioning itself with appropriate –HEDGES- that will skyrocket upon the death of the dollar and the US credit rating. In fact, the more they lose on their sizable treasury investment, the more they will make in their gold and other commodity investments. Who do you think has been buying them up over the past year? China (and India) see what is coming.

China played this thing brilliantly. They have been sucking foreign dupe money by the trillions to do what their own economic system could NOT do without suckers like us. Without us, their regimes would implode like the Soviet regime. They were smart to con us by dangling a billion potential customers to green corporate executives who would in turn hire lobbyists to sell out our national security and sovereignty in order to keep the requisite EPS growth.

Do you really think they are worried about hurting a few of “their people” by dealing a death blow to the United States? They think it would be only temporary because after all, communists always maintain that “it didn’t work last time because it wasn’t done right.” They believe that once they take down the USA, the utopian fantasy will finally work.

Chinese companies have “gone western” temporarily loosening the reigns to suck capital to finance red army so the regime can nationalize them later, or at least take 70% of their cash flow if they have any. Why not? The west is full of suckers who think regime changed and communism is now good.

They will export enough fuzzy math to keep their Ponzi going long enough for them to rebuild the Red Army from foreign investment. If they have no compunction about selling you toys with poison paint for your toddlers and toxic drywall, just think about their accounting standards.

This willful ignorance about the evil of this communist regime is a disgrace that will long stain our country and may ultimately lead to our financial demise.

What we are seeing in our policy toward China, giving MFN and permanent normal trading relations status to these barbarians is just a glaring history lesson in the making. The only problem is that the only thing we learn from history is that we –never- learn from history.

In each bubble after the tech bubble of the 90’s we say to ourselves “How did we not LEARN from the last bubble. How did we miss the signs?” During those bubbles I gave advance warning (see http://www.tableofwisdom.com/p/my-track-record.html ) as there were obvious warning signs preceding the debacles. For example, during the real estate bubble it was obvious that credit was far too loose. People were getting mortgages without income verification or even JOBS for that matter.

When hearing these ridiculous stories about anyone and everyone being able to get mortgages – even several mortgages – people should have asked themselves the question of “what happened to generally accepted underwriting standards?” and “if it is this easy to create prosperity for all, why haven’t banks been doing this for decades?” It kind of begs the question doesn’t it? Did people really think that today’s underwriters by lending hundreds of thousands of dollars to anyone with a pulse had discovered something that never occurred to the bankers of centuries past?

What was amazing was how we went from the strict underwriting principles to virtually zero underwriting principles in such a short time period. It happens because people have a propensity to get caught up in their emotions and their greed regardless of how educated or supposedly “sophisticated” they may be. There is something about the madness of crowds that gives people a false sense of security as long as the majority opinion is on their side – and it makes them do astoundingly destructive things, over and over and over again.

I have been harping on this China foolishness for years, going back to Clinton, Bush through Obama. I have enlarged upon all of the reasons why getting in bed with a Communist country is a bad idea and somewhat analogous to a legitimate accountant knowingly taking a mafia Don as a client. It is short-sighted and will likely end badly, even deadly.

Just as the coming real estate/banking debacle should have been obvious through the glaring abandonment of basic, historical underwriting standards, so too should the coming China debacle be obvious by anyone who remembers the caution exercised by previous generations toward communists.

I am 39 years old but I clearly remember the days when the leaders of most multinational corporations would not invest serious capital in communist countries like China because before the changing of the guard in corporate America, people like my grandfather understood the risks of committing serious money to building infrastructure within a country run by a communist dictatorship. Executives at US corporations today have severely breached their fiduciary responsibility to shareholders by risking billions of dollars of shareholder equity into a precarious situation like China.

These irresponsible corporate and governmental “leaders” have just like the bankers, fallen for the irresistible temptation of quick and easy riches without thought or regard to the potential consequences should we at some time find ourselves in a hostile relationship with China.

Ask yourself the question WHY. WHY would China still want to suppress citizens from being able to “Google” PRO-DEMOCRACY materials? What are they afraid of? Haven’t we changed the worldview of the Communist regime now that we have “traded them into prosperity”? That’s what our elected swindlers told us would happen if we gave the MFN and Permanent Normal Trading Relationship. Of course my tongue is firmly ensconced in my cheek. Communist dictators don’t change because you inject capital into their financially desperate government in the name of “growth”. Subsequently, if it works so well, why haven’t we been “trading Cuba into prosperity”? I smell a treasonous rat."

There are many pundits finally beginning see what is coming.  You can listen to Republicans like Krauthammer and Rove who advocate compromise with the left until the wall come crashing down before they sound the alarms or you can  read TableOfWisdom.com and get the warnings 10 years before the rest:

Sample: August 30, 2001, written the following WARNING regarding our China trade policy - http://boards.fool.com/message.asp?source=isesitlnk0000001&mid=17251493&mrr=0.50

"It's only COMMON SENSE that trading with communist regimes – LIKE CHINA, will mostly STRENGTHEN the COMMUNIST REGIME. There is indeed a REASON why they call it COMMUNISM! In the Communist system, MOST of the money is directly or indirectly TAKEN from the people.  We can trade all we want with the cronies in China, but all it's going to do is further finance China's evil agenda. China in my book is the "lead dog" on the “axis of evil”. Not only is “free trade” going to finance communism, we are also going to give them leverage that will eventually put us at their mercy. The reason is because American businesses, which now covet that potential market, in the aggregate are going to have to increase capacity by investing trillions of dollars to be able to meet the enormous demand of a billion people. Once they have the capacity, our economy will be at their mercy. China can hold that trade over our heads to get what they want because if they were to cut us off, the loss of earnings, which will be necessary to offset the prodigious investment, would be DEVESTATING to our stock market, our jobs and our overall economy.Trade with China is nothing more than fool's gold. This is one case where big business truly does have the majority of our politicos in their pockets. I believe that placating China with MFN and Permanent Normal Trading Status in my belief is the most egregious blunder of our times.I am a Conservative before I am a Republican and because of that important distinction I must bring attention to a gross contradiction made by our President yesterday. I write this not out of acrimony toward President Bush, for whom I voted in 2000. I write this because it is my prayer that he will come to recognize the hypocrisy of his statement regarding trade with Cuba when compared with China.If it were something petty, I wouldn't bother to write this; however..."

&  

"...I must say that we don't give away our liberty overnight; things go bad incrementally. I think China is laughing at us behind our backs. Go ahead and say I'm crazy now but let me go on record here and say that free trade with China, no matter how good they make it sound is a Trogan horse (on their part) and very specious."  - 8/30/2001 (days before our world and our beloved nation forever changed).

Cal & Nevada: The New Soddom & Gomorrah
by Scott Ryan

The November 2nd election was a tremendous victory for -most- of the country and in some ways it was quite REVEALING. The whole nation basically, except for two states, rejected the predator that was momentarily embraced by our unsuspecting children. The old adage that "history repeats itself" has been verified in many ways and what we saw last night is a clear identification by two states with ancient Sodom and Gomorrah. California is the capital of pornography and Vegas BOASTS in its national ad campaigns that it is a place to come and commit every abomination without any consequence.

It is going to be fascinating to watch California go bankrupt, state pensions and all. I say “fascinating” because yesterday’s AMERICAN victory means California will NOT get the federal bailout to which they feel entitled. The only thing the depraved voters of California proved yesterday is their stiff-necked obstinance.

As far as I’m concerned we can give them to Mexico and build a fence around them because that state is like arsenic to our nation. Let Mexico take Spielberg, Katzenberg, Reiner, Weinstein and the rest of the Hollywood “elite” along with their money. Sometimes you have to amputate to save a life.

To the decent Americans there in Cal and Nevada whose votes are constantly being canceled out, sell your possessions, flee Sodom and come to South Florida. We are a red state and yesterday became even better. About 10 years ago our legislature voted to name our state’s - turnpike - after the last great man to come from California, Ronald Wilson Reagan. Our exorcism was successful last night with the victory of Allen West over Ron Klein and we got rid of that embarrassment of a human being with the jet black dyed hair-plugs Alan Grayson.

I'm targeting Judeo/Christian conservatives. Why would a lefty want to leave Sodom?

Conservatives come here and we can live like civilized, decent, God fearing people and with "conservatives" gone, you people in the land of fruits & nuts can all legalize pot, heroine, crack and whatever else suits you.

Together we can make our red state the greatest in the union. You WILL NOT want to be in California as the state dies by suicide. It’s going to get ugly, very ugly when those pensions go bust and they start defaulting on their muni coupons. If your tent is pitched there, you better watch out.

To expect less than Rampant fraud from this Party of degenerates would be grossly Naive
by Scott Ryan

The media are saying now that the elections are underway, “it is already shaping up to be a long night.” – MarketWatch.com

What that means is that Democrats will demand recounts until they manufacture enough votes to take away a victory.

These are people devoid of a single morsel of ethics.  As in the case with that out right imposter Al Franken, they will take this country to civil war in order to steal power.

They have no remorse. They have no love for liberty. These people are power hungry, miserable narcissists who will gladly take down this country as they despise our very foundations.

I fully expect the Demagogue party to lie, cheat and steal as those traits are a confluence that points to their definition of virtue.

If you can get passed the stale platitudes that have been perpetuated for decades by the wealthy swindlers like John Edwards about the “have’s and the have-nots” it is as lucid and simple for anyone capable of discernment.

The left are against the notion that people should be allowed to work as hard as they want and to earn as much as they want by the sweat of their brow without being demonized and plundered by the rapacity of elected parasites who foment discord toward those who do not and cater to the base instincts of envy and slothfulness.

The Democrat Party is a party that holds firm to the dogma that human beings can be the property of other human beings. It is the crux of their sacrament of abortion which contends that baby is the –property- of the women in whom it resides. It was the same fallacious notion that perpetuated slavery and their twisted logic will naturally lead to euthanizing the infirm and the elderly as they come out on the short end of the Obama regime's new mathmatical equation.

All of their egregious policies stem from one disgraceful agenda and that is to feed on the discontent of those who made bad choices whether you’re talking about pitting people against those who prosper or creating “victims” out of those who were sexually promiscuous in the way long encouraged by the liberals who indoctrinate the masses through pop culture. The same group that enriches themselves while debauching the morals of our youth in Hollywood is the same Democrat Party that whispers “victim-hood” like the serpent to their impressionable ears.

Anyone with even a modicum of moral decency and intellectual honesty remaining must see that this party, the party of Planned Parenthood which destroys millions of innocent lives every year, the party of ravenous trial lawyers like John Edwards, the party of the ACLU that makes every attempt to destroy the free-exercise of the Christian religion, the party that of the militant homosexual agenda that is aggressively seeking to force acceptance of homosexual marriage and is fighting to FORCE churches to hire homosexual leaders and pastors and will charge your clergy with hate crimes if they resist, the party that is sowing chaos in our military to force open acceptance of sodomy and will discharge honorable and righteous officers for not giving approbation to sodomy, the party of a tyrannical, anti-American President who openly calls those patriotic Americans who dare disagree with him –"ENEMIES"- a term he won’t even use to describe Hamas or Al Qaeda.

If you are blithely guided by the notion that this is your father or grandfather’s Democrat Party of the past and are obstinately pulling that Democrat lever, you cannot separate yourself from the aforementioned agenda and you will some day have to give account for the destruction and immorality you have brought upon this nation.

To update a statement by Samuel Adams for the present ferments, ‘If ye love ENTITLEMENTS greater than liberty, the tranquility of IGNORANCE greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

To expect less than Rampant fraud from this Party of degenerates would be grossly Naive but this time, unlike in Al Franke's election, we will not yield to their jihad against our Faith, our constitution and our sacred honor.  Choose you this day whom ye will Serve.

The Economic Jesters say we should Spend MORE to create Jobs
by Scott Ryan

Marketwatch.com featured a column on Friday titled "How Washington could create jobs". It was full of the usual Keynesian nonsense and of course advanced the preposterous notion that “ECONOMISTS SAY there could be room for more jobs programs if lawmakers allow cuts to be made elsewhere…”


“ECONOMISTS SAY"???

Why should we care what “economists” say? We should try using our own common sense for a "change". These useless economists said the last so called stimulus would save us. They had economists telling us how Husse-Pelosi-Reedcare was going to save us and balance the budget.

These economists are like jesters in the kings court and the king is a 3rd world would-be tyrant.

Wouldn’t it be nice if these elected scoundrels stopped pretending that our founding fathers created the federal government to “create jobs”?

Anyone can create jobs. You can go outside and burn down a building or blow up a car and create jobs. Al Qaeda creates jobs all the time.

Obviously, those jobs are not the good kind of jobs, nor are the government jobs.

If they stop usurping and doing things the federal government was not chartered to do, if they stop being an albatross on the American people, jobs will be created by the people, not the parasites.

Is it coincidence that in this nation, with all of the hundreds of billions spent on education, the scoundrels make no attempt to implement financial education into the public school curriculum? If people understood finance they wouldn’t vote for their own plunder.

I didn’t intend that to be construed as a call for public education spending. I just wanted to point out how odd it is that for all the money they spend, it’s interesting how they don’t want any to go toward financial education.

Since the 90’s I have been emphasizing the fact that we no longer need public schools. Public schools are a failure and should only exist if they can compete with private schools on quality and cost. People should have absolute school choice and not be coerced pay for public schools. They are more like juvenile detention centers.

These parasites capitalize on ignorance. They depend on it. They thrive on it. Ignorance has helped to make the U.S. Government into the largest employer in the United States. That is egregious.

America isn’t the government. America is its constitution and its citizens. Wake up my fellow citizens; the so-called “financial reform bill” was named Dodd-Frank, after the two biggest perpetrators of financial fraud in the history of government for God’s sake.

Throw these thieves out. It is literally now or never.

Juan Williams got what he deserved
by Scott Ryan

Yes, Juan Williams got canned by NPR.  Yes it was outrageous and unjust.


My take is going to be short and sweet.


It is poetic justice to see a liberal, who has spent his life fighting to inflict left winged idiocy on the REST OF US - it is JUSTICE to see the same idiocy used against him.


I'm not going to follow the easy path of expressing sympathy for this guy as they are doing on Fox, which awarded Williams with an undeserved, $2 million dollar reward . I'm not subscribing to the prosaic "he may be a liberal but he's our liberal" nonsense.  

Yes IT WAS UNJUST and ludicrous what NPR did to Juan.  But Juan has devoted his life to the cause of putting the screws to US and he needs to get a good taste of what he's been cooking all these years. 

Until Juan does a 180 and renounces his party and his life's work, what Juan has been insisting is good for the gander, should be good for the goose.  Taste it, like it or RENOUNCE it - because this is the defining example of irrational, illogical, pc leftism.  

That sympathetic narrative is too trite for me to digest. He doesn’t -deserve- to be rewarded with a BETTER contract simply because he was victimized by the EXACT ideology he has devoted his career to spreading.That ideology has virtually destroyed this country. No, I REFUSE to embrace this intellectual banality the way they are trying to play it. That’s about RATINGS for Fox and is not the argument, the approach nor the train of reasoning that best serves this country. The enemy of my enemy is –still- my enemy when both factions represent Marxism.


To elevate Williams is an injustice because most of - US- don’t get to reap REWARDS for damaging the country.  Yes, defund NPR.  I've been saying that for decades.  That doesn't mean Juan should be given a larger platform to spread his errors.

“Juan brings “balance” to the debate”??? Well, excuse me but I believe what we call “conservative” is TRUTH. I do not believe that peppering truth with moderate dosages of idiocy represents “balance”. Why in the HELL do we feel it obligatory to “balance” TRUTH with lies???



If we actually BELIEVE these self evident truths, how could we dare contend that diluting it with error represents BALANCE?


Mark my words, this same group of pundits force feeding this crap to us tonight are the same people who are going to be cramming Mitt Romney down our throats in 2012 while they distort and villify the reputations of those who oppose that contemptible RINO just as Fox did in 2008.

There's Only One Architect Conservatives Trust (and it isn't Karl Rove)

I remember when I moved to Palm Beach County, Florida back in 1996. I soon started attending REC meetings (Republican Executive Committee of PB County) and got involved in politics later by hosting talk radio.

It didn’t take me a long time to get to know about our popular star Congressman Mark Foley. I soon discovered that his proclivities were widely rumored among Republicans within the party. Despite them knowing about his character flaws and despite his clear support for abortion, he received overwhelming support from the party establishment because “ that seat was too important to risk by replacing a sure thing”.

This was an egregious compromise and a textbook example of what brought down our party. It was this mentality that permeated our party, our willingness to support candidates who directly defied the very principles upon which the Republican Party was founded just so we could “win” a majority that proved to be useless. We ended up with a severely diluted majority that was more concerned with appeasing Democrats and winning the approval of a liberal media that would never be placated in the first place.

These liberal “Republicans” would work tirelessly to subvert any attempt for our so-called majority to implement the slightest morsel of a conservative agenda - often led by Senator John McCain in instances like the infamous “gang of 14” - .

We of course lost our majority in the House and Senate largely due to the very compromise embodied in Mark Foley as his escapades were unveiled before the world two weeks before a national election. We had every chance to replace this guy long before that election but the party establishment in all their sagacity found him to be quite palatable to their strategy.

Did we learn our lesson from Foley?

Even now we are at a place where we have so-called Republicans doing everything they can to undermine our much needed cleansing by opposing a conservative senatorial candidate in Delaware while supporting a liberal “Republican” senatorial candidate instead.
So against all odds she annihilated the establishment candidate in the primary to the chagrin of Karl Rove and other party leaders so what did they do? They initially came out and stated that they were not going to support her in the general election!



This is the problem. These people have little to no faith and if we were to listen to them we would go right back to Egypt (metaphorically speaking) despite the miracles we have thus far seen. We would continue right on with trillion dollar bailouts of banks, autos and unions with or without a Republican majority if we were to win it back with a collection of compromisers like we have heretofore had.

These people are like the man who dogged Moses every step of the way after all of the clear evidence that God was delivering them out of the slavery of the Pharaoh. “At least we had three square meals when we were slaves in Egypt; better to be a slave in Egypt than to die in the wilderness” they would NO DOUBT say.

Despite Arizona’s appalling contribution to the senatorial pool, we CAN take back this country from the America loathing liberals. We must and we WILL if as Abraham Lincoln said we labor to be on God’s side. The party establishment along with the left may mock this very notion of a sovereign God who appoints the kings of the Earth but we the people must humble ourselves, pray and turn from our wicked ways.

Those who think that THEY must win this battle by their own might and their political prowess must not be heeded. They must take a back seat as we ask God to go BEFORE us.

That reminds me of a study in which I have participated that points out that since God is the greatest good, He sets out to work all things for His own glory; if we seek to find freedom for our own glory, we are at cross-purposes with God. He will not share His glory with another (Isaiah 48:11). 11 For my own sake, for my own sake, I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another.

It is not the genius of any “architect” that will win this war for our freedom. Remember, it was under the administration of the “architect” that the bailouts and cries for “amnesty” began.
As the aforementioned study elucidated, the proper motive (seeking God's glory) will ensure our success. God Himself comes to our aid, so that He will be glorified.
“Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us,But to Your name give glory,Because of Your mercy,Because of Your truth.” Psalm 115:1

And the LORD said to Gideon, 'The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel claim glory for itself against Me, saying, 'My own hand has saved me.'" Judges 7:2

Perhaps THAT is why we have been temporarily given over to the hands of the enemy. For the past decade we were trying to win the battle by our own might. As the latter scripture verse indicates, God actually planned to lead His people to victory but he told Gideon to reduce the size of their army. It was too BIG! He wanted them to KNOW that it was -He- who would go before them and give them the victory.

By compromising our integrity and strategically nominating people who were against our very purposes, we were becoming the very thing we superficially opposed. I thank God for the new leaders whom He is raising up like the venerable Senator from South Carolina, Jim DeMint, who has been working diligently in support of conservative candidates including Christine O’Donnell. I highly recommend supporting his conservative candidates fund in lieu of funding for the RNC.

The RNC may not want to support real conservatives but we do not need them anyway. We have seen their deeds as they have squandered our hard earned dollars on Lear jets and strip clubs for their elite - while not having the funds for candidates like O’Donnell.

We are now seeing the efficiencies at work brought on by the Internet as conservatives around this great nation are funding fellow conservatives in pivotal races outside their own states. This high speed and efficient means of communication is rendering the concept of prodigal organizations like the RNC invalid.

I would rather give my money through the websites of individual candidates or to organizations like Jim DeMint’s than to the RNC thank you very much.

Remember, we have won nothing if we relish our victories but forget the cause to which we are owing. Let us not squander our final chance to set things right. There can be no 3rd chance.

There’s something about Arizona
By MrArbitrage

I’m receiving a great deal of positive emails from various sources like one sent today from Newsmax.com titled: Armey: Tea Party Movement Will Revolutionize GOP
http://www.newsmax.com/InsideCover/dickarmeyteaparty/2010/08/21/id/368077?s=al&promo_code=A929-1

That sounds great but it is difficult to get excited when one of the most contemptible senators in modern GOP history is presumably coasting into the nomination for another 6 year senate term.

It seems as though Arizonans enjoy being in the lime-light regardless of the reason. It doesn’t matter that their so-called “maverick” received that moniker as a result of being a left-winged appeaser who has obstructed conservatives in just about every significant piece of conservative legislation advanced during his career.

Since November 2008, conservatives nationwide have been on a mission to extricate the left-wing of our party as we have been reaping the devastating consequences of squandering an extremely rare Republican majority of the House, Senate and Executive branch. Conservatives nationwide have been on the warpath to accomplish this task –EXCEPT- for many of those calling themselves Republicans in Arizona.

All conservatives support the immigration bill but John McCain had nothing to do with that. Of course, being an election year, he is more than willing to capitalize on its popularity. I suppose we can chalk up this illegal immigration legislation to the blind squirrel factor (getting an acorn every once in a while). Congrats to Governor Jan Brewer for taking the lead.

It is mind boggling how so many people in that state can be so easily persuaded by this liberal. Just because they had some good times during the presidential campaign (which their guy lost pathetically), they think he is worthy of that senate seat. This is all in spite of the fact that McCain is the epitome of what went wrong with the GOP over the past two decades. This imposter has no more business calling himself a Republican than does Arlen Specter.

Frankly, I am embarrassed for Arizonans who are forcing this guy on the rest of us. They should be ashamed because while they bask in the attention they apparently crave, the rest of the country knows that no matter how many conservative coup d'états OTHER STATES achieve in these primaries - one of the chief obstructionists to the conservative movement is still going to be there to screw them over every step of the way. I really believe that if McCain was up for re-election in any other state right now he would be out on his rear where he belongs. Even Pennsylvania had enough sense to see the damage they had done by tolerating his nonsense.

So J.D. Hayworth made an endorsement on an infomercial encouraging people to buy a program to help them utilize money from government programs? The fact that this “charge” is the best the McCain camp could come up with says a great deal. How many times has McCain harped on this ridiculous point? Most of those programs J.D. was referencing probably had the legislative support of John McCain during all of the years he was stabbing conservatives in the back. McCain probably co-sponsored them.

To be fair, you have to look at what the two men have actually helped to promulgatewhen they were in office, not what TV commercials they did years afterward. By the way, where are all of the people who could rightfully be making fun of Fred Thompson for hocking reverse mortgages?

One guy (Hayworth) endorsed a guide or program that would help people to access grants that already existed. The other (McCain) spent an entire career jumping on almost every opportunity to sell out conservatives - because he couldn’t resist the media plaudits that accompanied his legislative treachery.

Look at the fruits people. Look at all of the years he screwed us to the wall. Look at the left-winged pro-gay marriage promoting antics of his wife and his daughter. They are all cut from the same cloth and they should all be ashamed to claim the title of Republican much less conservative – as should any voter devoid of the sensibilities to see this obvious fact.

Our ONLY hope is that the rest of the voters of this nation have enough sense to see the obvious destruction that people like McCain have caused our country. Even a Democrat who admits to being a liberal deserves much more respect than a back stabber who masquerades as something he is not so he can make for himself a legacy. God save us from voters who are incapable of critical and logical thinking.

Social Security Statements; hard evidence of Financial Fraud

By MrArbitrage

Marketwatch’s Personal Finance Editor Andrea Coombs wrote a short piece today emphasizing the fact that payroll receipts will fail to cover Social Security payments in 2010 and 2011 so benefits will have to be paid out of the “trust fund”. She writes about how “the long-term outlook hasn’t changed from last year” and that the trust fund is expected to be depleted in 2037.

It is absurd to think these people can predict with accuracy how long it will take for the trust fund to be depleted when there are so many variables involved. Are these people as good at projecting costs and revenues as the Congressional Budget Office? Maybe it –was- the Congressional Budget office making the 2037 projection. The column didn’t say. They have to be assuming a specific level of tax receipts going forward in order to know how much they will need to take from the trust fund each year. Whatever the tax receipts they are expecting, much of it is probably tied to their delusional expectations of higher employment and prosperity resulting from Obama and Pelosi’s socialized medicine bill and tax increases for the rich.

I have to assume that the Trust Fund is mostly “invested” in Treasuries they will need to liquidate to pay seniors. So in order to know when the trust fund will be depleted, they must be projecting a specific valuation for their Treasury Bonds and Notes. Are they assuming that they will be receiving the current ridiculously high prices for this paper through 2037? Are they assuming that China will still be buying to help keep the yields low and prices inflated?

As a rule, whatever they are projecting, assume they are off by at least 70% to the injurious side of any equation and you will never be disappointed.

Coombes reassures the reader “That doesn't mean you won't get your Social Security benefits. It does mean that people in their mid-50s or younger likely won't get the same size checks as their parents are getting now -- and that's especially likely for people with higher-than-average incomes.”

She threw out 78% as the percentage of benefit they will be able to pay out after that magical date of 2037. Well, I have been receiving these statements recently telling me how much I paid in and specifically how much I am going to receive. There were no disclaimers saying this is subject to change and nowhere did it indicate that “past performance is not indicative of future results” as these pillars of rectitude require of all private sector companies to slap on their literature.

Madoff put out those similar fraudulent performance statements, although his at least had the standard market risk disclosures; so he didn’t promote his Ponzi as risk free as does the federal government. Madoff’s problem was the false past performance numbers.

So these statements in writing are clear evidence of investment fraud. I’m going to file a complaint with the SEC next week. If Social Security was a security I would gladly sell my future Social Security payments for 25 cents on the dollar for a lump sum now. Any takers? That’s one annuity I couldn’t in good conscience sell my worst enemy.

Being that I’m pushing 40, I wouldn’t want to sue the elected swindlers for damages unless it came out of their OWN pockets because to set a precedent of collecting damages for financial fraud from the government would mean that I am suing the same bankrupt Treasury that has already been plundered to the point of a trillion dollar deficit. It would be counter productive to make them counterfeit more dollars.

That’s a great idea; sue them personally. Lavish as they are, these scoundrels do not have trillions of dollars in personal wealth so it would be more about the sweet justice of it. Of course the current legislators would do everything within their power to exempt themselves from being brought to justice. They would say that Social Security was created long before most of them were born - making them inculpable. However, people who knowingly carry on a Ponzi scheme are in fact complicit.

A new crop of candidates would have to come out from the beginning, as part of their platform to pledge to impeach all government officials, including those no longer serving, for participating in the defrauding of millions of Americans of a significant percentage of their life savings.

This is a subjective area but the perhaps the way it should be determined is if an official sponsored or co-sponsored a bill that took money from the so-called trust fund and that money was used for any project that is not proven to be within the constitutionally defined powers of the federal government, they should be found guilty of financial fraud and just like Madoff, be prosecuted by the “Justice Department”, then serve the rest of their lives in prison while their assets are liquidated and six figure pensions are divided among the victims of their past and present schemes.

Radical as this sounds, I’m talking about the rule of law. It’s a much more civilized approach than the Jacobinism of late 18th century France. It might seem crazy now but when the results of this scam really hit the fan, a new crop of representatives are going to be held to promises of justice unlike anything we have ever seen. The monumental chicanery of the current administration and the effrontery of our colluding congress are unlike anything this nation has ever experienced – so it would be fitting that such platforms should become a requisite.

A promise to impeach and encourage prosecution might be a good platform for “tea partiers” to ask candidates to pledge. There is no way that the disease can be eradicated by lawmakers who are currently infected with the virus. It would certainly be a case of “physician heal thyself” and with the current crop of swindlers that isn’t going to happen.

The fact that Nancy Pelosi can be in congress at all is an ominous sign of the failure of the federalist system. There are states and districts in this country that are so debauched that they pollute the well for everyone else. It is as though Sodom and Gomorrah have hijacked our country. The fact that Chris Dodd and Barney Frank have just promulgated FINANCIAL REFORM legislation into law instead of rotting in prison and the fact that Pelosi was voted to the position of House Speaker by her Democrat peers is all the confirmation that one needs to realize that this union will never survive unless they are rightfully expunged. Every time I see them and hear their contemptible voices I see a mockery not only of justice but everything that made this country what it once was in all its glory. They are the personification of our national sins.

We have all heard the rhetorical virtues of Social Security bloviated by the politicians for decades; but those are just words, generalities propounded to a large group. The old maxim of “get it in writing” may be applicable in the near future so be sure to hang on to those statements because those are specific promises of specific minimum amounts given to specific people. Subsequently, many financial scam artists are also prosecuted for mail fraud which is how the printed lies of SS are currently delivered.

Michael Steele's prodigality & race-baiting could open door for Palin as RNC Chairma'am

“Republicans as well as Democrats blasted Michael Steele's suggestion that he's being unfairly criticized due to his race.” – Newsmax.com

I think perhaps I understand what temptation Michael Steele –may- have been indulging with his “racism” allegations. These remarks elicit the natural perception that Michael Steele is no different than any other race card playing liberal once he gets himself into trouble. It would appear that he (like Democrats) just doesn’t want to take responsibility and will stoop to blaming others instead.

According to a Newsmax column by David Patten, "it's not the first time that Steele has suggested there are racial reasons for the criticism he's encountered. He recently told Washingtonian Magazine, "I don't see stories about internal operations of the DNC that I see about this operatio Why? Is it because Michael Steele is the chairman, or is it because a black man is chairman?"

It is obvious that the liberal media are not forensic accountants when it comes to the expenses of the DNC and he has a valid point in mentioning that double-standard. Being perturbed by this transparent bias, I imagine it could be tempting to take the opportunity of turning the tables on the Demagogues and the media by accusing –THEM- of being racists - for a change.

It is understandable because they truly are racists down to their very core and that is the amazing thing. It is astounding how this party of bigots successfully bamboozled over 92% of an entire ethnic group into supporting them when the Democrat Party’s most sacred sacrament of abortion was designed to rid this country of their very race!

I don't know that there is a historical parallel so I will have to make one up to illustrate. It would be akin to Africans voluntarily marching to and then standing in line for hours for their turn to be shackled and thrown into a hot, reeking slave ship. But it is worse than this hypothetical because the design of the Democrat Party elite and Planned Parenthood is not to make them –labor- but rather to exterminate them altogether.

That may sound like invidious rhetoric but it happens to be historical fact and they damned well know that. That’s why the Democrats control the schools from pre-k to the PhD. That is why they control the airwaves and now conspire to filter the Internet so that you can only find porn and propaganda. They want to keep you addicted and ignorant of historical reality -and if you are black- many of the whites in the Democrat Party want you to “DIE QUICKLY”. Yes I know The False Prophet is part African but that’s just another irony of life. It’s just as bizarre as the fact that the last holocaust was led by a black haired, brown eyed mad man - who wanted to create a blond haired, blue eyed master race. I think that when God allows a nation to destroy itself, He makes sure that the absurdity is topped off with the preposterous to serve as an exclamation point to posterity.

It would be fun to accuse these make believe journalists of being racists (because they certainly are) but if that is the strategy Steele is taking, he is miscalculating. I’m giving Steele the benefit of a doubt in this theory but regardless of whether I’m right, it is still an unacceptable strategy and the –reason- is a key difference in the noble way conservatives operate versus liberals. Because the specific attribute that makes liberals –liberals- is the desire to wallow in evil at all costs, they are willing to cannibalize anyone anytime anywhere. As long as their actions protect or increase the killing of babies, advance sodomy and expand overall debauchery, they are willing to undermine our foundations.

When Democrats are under suspicion of murder like Ted Kennedy, when Democrats are obviously betraying their country by taking cash bribes for legislation like William J. Jefferson and other forms of bribery like Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, when a Democrat brings disgrace to the Presidency by perjuring himself in a lawsuit against himself for rape, when the disbarred President lies to the entire nation on national television about having oral sex with the young girl whom he and his lawyer instructed to perjure herself during her testimony regarding his sex crimes – when all forms of infamy and treachery are embodied in the person of a serving Democrat, the entire Democrat party rally behind that criminal to the detriment of our country –unless- like Democrat Jim Traficant, he opposes the murder of innocent babies and codifying special rewards for all forms of sexual deviance into law.

When Republicans discover this type of behavior has infiltrated the party, we do not sit around for one moment looking for a way to justify disgraceful activities, no matter who committed them and how powerful they were. As with South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford, Congressman Mark Foley and others, we did not support them and we did not even think for one second to try to defend them. We demand consistency. Conservatives demand that their representatives be held to –higher- standards then anyone because of the power with which we entrust them. We can –forgive- those people who betrayed us but we cannot –trust- them with authority once it has been violated.What makes us different is that we are not willing to sacrifice our Constitution and our national security for the sake of winning. We don’t want to BECOME the left to defeat the left. That is the reason why people like Arlen Specter, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, John McCain and Lindsey Graham are now so loathed by our party. That is why once popular Florida Governor Charlie Crist is suddenly being overwhelmingly rejected by his constituents.

Thanks to the False Prophet and The Harlot, we have had a literal come to Jesus experience. The aforementioned moderates may be able to “win” elections but we have learned the hard way that when they win we all really lose. Like hemorrhoids, we tolerated them and the imposters who advanced them for too long. Now we need invasive surgery to remove them and we will.The point is that Michael Steele needs to understand is this is no time to be cute. Conservatives are serious and we are not going to advocate playing the race card even if doing so highlights leftist hypocrisy.

The race card strikes against one of our deepest convictions that people need to take responsibility for their mistakes. Mr. Steele also needs to assure this party that the activities in question are unacceptable and we are not going to become another version of the Democrat Party. The Libertarians are the group that is willing to fuse the debauchery and paganism of the Democrat Party with the economic policies of the Republican Party. Republicans are proud capitalists but this party was founded on something of much greater importance. If you undermine the moral pillars that birthed the Party of Lincoln, we might as well capitulate to the Marxists because the ensuing immorality will guarantee a void that is always filled by tyranny.

I must say I have found Steele on a few occasions to be McCain-esque in the sense that he sometimes seems confused about where he should stand on issues. As I have been writing since January 2009, I feel that Sarah Palin would be perfectly suited for that position. If she runs for President, there is going to be a schism among conservatives, especially when considering her campaigning for John McCain over J.D. Hayworth. I understand the trite excuse about her "owing" McCain something... That is just more of the nonsensical thinking that got us into this debacle. If anything, Palin should have stayed out of that Senate race in deference to McCain. To endorse McCain and campaign against the conservative in the race is inexcusable, especially considering his lifelong betrayal of conservative principles (until he learned some conservative rhetoric last campaign).

( This I wrote wrote in my February 15, 2010 column The Coming GOP Schism and how we can Avoid Self Destructionhttp://www.tableofwisdom.com/

“I know there are going to be intense factions within this party no matter what happens between now and 2012. There is a faction right now that can’t move on from the past who are saying “run Sarah run”. I am not one of them. I like Sarah Palin and think she can do a great deal of good for this country, perhaps as Chairman of the GOP but I emphatically do not want her to be our presidential candidate. We will have factions for Palin, for Huckabee, for Romney, for Pawlenty, Bobby Jindal and perhaps Fred Thompson (not likely). They will split the conservative vote so that we will give the nomination to the candidate we all loathe, the liberal candidate, which we WILL secure by our inability to coalesce. That is the ONLY way John McCain could have won this nomination. The same thing happened with Dole in 1996.” )

Obama's Overtures toward Free College for All
Obama went to a community college yesterday to sign the final package of fixes to the healthcare bill। He did this because a major part of the healthcare scam was to directly nationalize the student loan business. There used to be a buffer between the Federal government and student loans but not anymore.Obama said “a great battle pitting the interest of the banks and the financial institutions – against the interest of students – finally came to an end.

For almost two decades we have been trying to fix a sweetheart deal in federal law that essentially gave billions of dollars to banks to act as unnecessary middle-men in administering student loans.”

Could it have anything to do with the fact that lending is the business they are in and there may be some similarities in the due-diligence and administrative duties? It’s just a guess but I would think the reason why this so-called “sweetheart deal” existed -for 45 years- before this genius and his mummified corpse leading Congress came along, was because there are tens of thousands of lending institutions spanning the nation with qualified people who are experienced in this area and have locations with people who work inside of them. Nevertheless, starting July 1st, those loans will be offered –only- by the Department of Education and I cannot wait to see how well they run this business!

Here’s something you can take to the bank. The False Prophet’s true intensions are for this charade to amount to another $85 Billion dollar per year entitlement that will add to the crippling debt he is deliberately mounting to destroy this country he, his wife, his pastor, his domestic terrorist and Marxist cabinet so loathes.I don’t know if anyone has noticed but there’s a bit of a problem here. The people who catapulted this Bolshevik wannabe to office are the same people who are supposed to be paying off these college loans.

Throughout his campaign and his first year in office Obama has done a masterful job of inspiring the fallen angels of their nature. Like the devil in “Needful Things”, he has something for everyone. To the young generation who overwhelmingly supported him, he promised them a free college education and stressed that it is a “right”. He didn’t just do this throughout his campaign; he did so during his recent State of the Union Address. If we are to take his words at face value, he can only be doing this as an overture toward “free college for all”. Obama and The Mummy sold this swindle as a blow to “sweetheart deals” against the evil bankers and elimination of the proverbial “middle-man” as though they are going to now reap tremendous profits for us.

Bond investors are more conservative than the stock market and their actions can tell you a lot about this situation. Over the past few years, Sallie Mae, the largest provider of student loans has seen its bond ratings plunge toward the very border of “junk” status and is probably only above that line because of politics. (We have seen the integrity of these agencies with regard to securitized mortgages and their willingness to play ball.)

What the bond market is telling you is that defaults are increasing and it is going to get much worse. It makes perfect sense. Capitalism and democracy only work for a moral and God fearing people (as Adams said) and we are now seeing why. These promises they made to pay back those loans are a trifling matter to a generation of ingrates who were raised by the government and M-TV. Many of these kids care about two things, getting laid and getting paid, none of which is a catalyst for them to compensate taxpayers for something they have been inculcated to believe is owed to them.

If The False Prophet and The Mummy have not yet been charged, tried and convicted of treason by then, next election time he will convince these ingrates that we should be paying them a full-time salary to go to college।According to Obama’s news reader, Brian Williams and Spokesman Chuck Todd, there were some other goodies in the healthcare bill to bribe the kids, like increases in Pell grants to keep up with tuition inflation, which will probably encourage further increases for college tuition. It also included a limitation on repayment of loans to 10% of income because “I know what that’s like” said Obama, “Michelle and I had big debts coming out of school. Debts we weren’t able to fully repay until just a few years before I started running for office.” I guess he means that Tony Rezko paid them off about four years ago because I don’t think he spent more than a year in each office as he traversed the road to the White House.

I guess it’s not like the Treasury actually needs that money back. These gestures are only a good faith overture because he promised these ingrates FREE and they will not forget. These kids have been looking for something to protest and riot about. They are holding protests and getting arrested all over the country with their signs demanding free college education. The scene about which everyone was making a big deal with Ann Coulter at a Canadian University doesn’t look much different than the scene here in the US.

By the news coverage you would think that the activities of those Canadian students were unusual. That’s because you barely see these left winged protestors in American universities in a negative light in our media. It’s time to wake up. This is just a friendly piece of advice. If you are like many ambivalent Americans supporting a child in college, you may have a Marxist on your hands and be totally oblivious to that fact. You may want to do some further due diligence on your investment.In the final analysis, I guess the federal government would have end up nationalizing it all regardless. Why wait to bail out for Sallie Mae and all of these lenders as the deadbeat kids bleed them dry slowly - when you can sneak it all into a "healthcare bill".

Take a minute to watch this piece with Brian Williams and Chuck Todd. At the end Todd refers to the observation by insurance companies that allow them to continue using generally accepted underwriting procedures on child policies. Todd referred to the threatening letter sent by Kathleen Sebelius to the insurance companies and the fact that the insurance industry said they would comply with The False Prophet’s interpretation of the law. The revealing part occurs at the end when he tosses back to Brian Williams who said “we’re actually going to track that story and HOLD THEM TO IT”. So much for hiding their status as White House tail-waggers. What's amazing is this is the same crowd that wouldn’t wear an American Flag lapel after Sept 11, 2001, after our country just went to war – for fear that they might show partiality. They were supposedly worried that people should not see them take a side! They also won’t use the word “terrorist” for that reason.

They really are an embarrassment and disgrace to our nation and the founding fathers who took such solicitude to assure a “free press” as an essential pillar of democracy. I mean, in other communist countries the press at least waits to be nationalized before they start humping the leg of their master. I guess since these guys know with their abysmal ratings it’s only a matter of time, so they want to earn enough Scooby Snacks to get to the front of the line.

WARNING: Also on that page is a link to a story titled: "President Obama goes One-on-One with Matt Lauer". I cannot vouch for that one because I didn't dare click on it. But if you must, make sure there are no children in the room. Don't miss the latest Budget Buster "The Mummy 2010". The Mummy (played by Nancy Pelosi) is sent to Congress by a radical district of trans-gendered, sexual deviants and drug addicts to hijack the entire US Congress. Will she and her partner The False Prophet (Barack Hussein Obama) succeed in their overt scheme to bleed the country dry and convert it to tyranical hybrid of Islam-O-Marxism? Or will the nation wake up and charge them for the treachery they personify? Choose your own adventure.

Israel's encounter with the False Prophet
Dear Mr. Netanyahu,

Once again, the interests of America and Israel are completely aligned. We both recognize the threat of this administration. As a natural born citizen of the United States, I feel obliged to apologize for this breach of decency and professionalism. Millions of us feel your pain, but as the expression goes - “it’s complicated”. It may look like our nation just “snubbed” you in Washington but –we- really didn’t. You’re a smart man so I’m sure you realize that we have a problem. The degenerates of our nation have succumbed to the same con artist who is now trying to strong arm you. We all remember the photo ops with Bush and Clinton playing the part of “honest broker” between Israel and the Terrorist PLO. This time it’s a little different. When you are meeting with this President, at best, it is akin dealing directly with the terrorist. In fact, both won a Nobel Peace Prize; what does that tell you?

Please Mr. Netanyahu, it is your land and has rightfully been so for thousands of years. Please keep building away in Jerusalem; do what you must do for your own national security, especially in regard to Iran.

Sincerely,

MrArbitrage

Many in this country are indoctrinated but few are legitimately educated, especially on the history of this conflict. We often hear about these “Palestinian refugee camps” and most of the world is led to believe those Arabs were driven there by the Jews. The racists at ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN & MSNBC, the United Nations and most of our “university” professors conveniently leave out the fact that in 1948 it was the ARAB military that threatened Arab civilians to “get out” and that those who didn’t would be considered TRAITORS to the cause. They didn’t want the Arabs there getting in the way of their failed invasion. They didn’t want to inconvenience their soldiers by making them have to distinguish Arabs from Jews. It makes the extermination process more difficult.

In his book Judgment Day, author Dave Hunt pointed out the fact that in 1948 when the approximately 500,000 “Palestinian” Arabs were forced out of Israel by the ARAB military, nearly 800,000 Jews were forced out of their homes in Arab lands. We never hear the bleeding hearts in regard to the poor Jewish refugees.They leave out the fact that Palestinian Arabs were encouraged by the Jews to stay in Israel while Jewish refugees were FORCED out of Arab lands by threat of execution and were not allowed by Arab governments to transfer out their assets.

Our racist media leave out the fact that those Arab Palestinians who did stay enjoy “all rights of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its bodies and institutions” – Israel’s Proclamation of Independence issued on May 14, 1968.

Our racist media leave out the fact that Arabic is an official language in Israel together with Hebrew and is taught in Jewish secondary schools. They don’t mention that there are nearly 1,000 Arab educational institutions in Israel, that the Arabic press in Israel is among the most vibrant and independent of any country in the region, that they have Arabic radio and television and Israeli universities are open to Arabs. (Source: Judgment Day, Dave Hunt )

They leave out the fact that in spite of the ARAB warnings to leave in 1948, about 20% of the Palestinian Arabs did stay and that in a recent poll - 70% of Israel’s Arab population said they would much prefer to live in Israel than in any other country in the area. (FLAME, Facts and Logic About the Middle East, World Dec 30th, 2000/January 6, 2001)

Hunt pointed out the interesting fact that Palestinian refugees have long been kept in refugee camps - when they could have been absorbed many times over by the Arab nations who desperately needed workers. According to Joan Peters (former CBS Producer and author of numerous books on this conflict, in 1977), the Syrian minister of Trade and Economy asked that a message be given to the American government. Syria hadn’t the population to develop arable Syrian land. They needed people as well as technology. They would give valuable plots of Syrian land to anyone who would come to work it. Peters asked Syrian officials, “why not give the land to those Palestinian Arabs who would choose to accept your offer? She said the answer was always the same… “We will give the land to anyone- the Ibos, the Koreans, Americans…anyone who comes- anyone but Palestinians! We must keep their hatred directed against Israel”.

It is not surprising these Palestinian Arabs who currently live with the Jews in Israel as citizens prefer it over any other country in the Middle East when you consider they enjoy far more freedom than they would elsewhere. They have many of the same basic freedoms they would have in America and in some ways more. Their rights are expatiated in the founding Israeli documents. Yet, if Americans or Israelis tried to practice our religion in-their- homelands, we would literally lose our heads! That’s due to the same Sharia law some Muslim organizations are trying to bring here to our country.

I never fail to be astounded by the deception of our media. They talk about this charade as though it was intended to be a legitimate “peace accord”. What is the true intent of Obama and his terrorist friends in the PLO? Is this organization that has for decades been strapping their brainwashed women and children with dynamite and using them as human missiles on bus loads of Jewish civilians suddenly going to live in peace and contentment with the Jews if Netanyahu capitulates to the “land for peace” demands?

A basic tenet of Islam is that all Jews must be destroyed. According to the Hadith, Muhammad said that “the last day will not come until the Muslims confront the Jews and the Muslims destroy them. In that day Allah will give voice to the rocks and the trees and they will cry out “O Muslim, O Abdullah, there is a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him!” That sounds like the basis for a great “peace accord”.

According to Dan Weil at Newsmax, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs quibbled with details of the Israeli accounts of the snubbing of Netanyahu but didn’t deny that the White House was sending a message to the Israeli Prime Minister.Barack Hussein Obama is sending more than a message to Netanyahu. He is sending a message to the Islamic tyrants of the world, with whom his true loyalty no doubt rests and he has been doing so throughout his short tenure as President.This guy really isn’t that clandestine. Anyone who wants to see the truth can see that he has been all but skywriting his intentions - to the Islamic world. The words and deeds of this would-be tyrant demonstrate that he intends to subjugate our country – our country (emphasis intentional).

In fact, he DID skywrite it last year in an absolutely bizarre manner that anyone with a morsel of intelligence would plainly understand if they were not thoroughly intoxicated by this false prophet.We’ve heard many lame excuses for the following video, none of which are even slightly believable. After watching this I take great offense as should any reasonable person, at the notion that this was anything but a calculated message.

See video:


The symbolism was astonishing: After he had just moved into our White House, it didn’t take long before he caused the entire world to view the potent images of AIR FORCE 1 – TERRORIZING the very city that his counterparts had terrorized a few years before. The fact that it was any type of plane was appalling - but sending Air Force 1 was an infamous statement to the Islamic world taking place right before our eyes.

He was telling his fundamentalist partners that there is a “new Sherriff in town”. Witnessing the video of New Yorkers running from the shadows of Air Force 1 and hearing their fearful screams was absolutely surreal. This extremely cruel gesture was not unlike the way a dog dominates others to show who is in charge. I believe this so-called photo opportunity was intended as a clear symbolic message to those our imposter believes to be his actual constituents - the Islamic world.

Only in this context does his bizarre and unexplainable behavior become explainable. Another sample: In June of last year, White House photographer Pete Sousa snapped a photo of Obama while he was talking on the phone with Netanyahu. In the photo, Obama had his feet propped up on the desk inside the Oval Office, with the American flag strategically appearing behind him. Israeli newscasters called the posture insulting, since in many Arab countries, it is considered an insult to show someone the sole of your shoe.

This reminded me of a recent interview with President Bush talking about the reverence that presidents historically have demonstrated for that office (until Clinton of course). Bush explained why he never entered that office without wearing a tie out of respect for the office.

This Obama picture is disturbingly symbolic PR directed to his Arab constituents once again. It is disturbing because it demonstrates his contempt for America as he disrespects that office and it is disturbing that this photo just happened to make it all around the world! And it just so happened that of all people with whom the president talks on the phone in a given day – it just HAPPENED to be with ISRAEL’S Prime Minister Netanyahu and they made sure everybody knew it!

This is all just coincidence, right? Unfortunately, what could be our undoing is that we are a people trained to dismiss all evidence of evil by liberals as “conspiracy theory”. Like a popular character “Keysor Sose” said in a movie called The Usual Suspects, “the greatest trick the devil ever pulled on mankind is convincing them he doesn’t exist.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl0H1EUQ_38 Democrats have indeed convinced a significant number of our youth that the devil doesn’t exist. They bring ridicule to those who see the obvious as “nuts”. Unfortunately vindication sometimes comes at an exorbitant price.

Although tangential to this subject, a case in point is the vindication of Ron Paul. I have never been a Ron Paul supporter because I found him dangerously naïve about the Islamic threat and the goals of Islam. But I vehemently agreed with his economic warnings and if any honest person were to go back and watch the debates, they would see that he was nothing short of prophetic. He was treated by his contemporaries with disdain and practically ridiculed off of the stage at the time. Ron Paul, for warning the nation of predatory economic policies was often ridiculed as a nut. Paul still doesn’t get much attention from –any- of the news networks but when the Congressman is on the financial media, people rightfully listen. At this point I would say that he is one of the few elder statesmen in Congress who deserves to escape the wrath of conservative voters.

What Ron Paul did that made him unique to most of those in our government was that he looked at the glaring warning signs and he spoke of the reality. The reality was so bad and the consequences so devastating that nobody would believe. We are conditioned by decades of lies and a lifetime of luxury that nothing dramatic can ever happen. Any talk of economic collapse is conspiracy theory. Any talk of malicious intent toward America from within is dismissed as conspiracy theory. The -daily- effrontery of this president toward US citizens and Israel add up to compelling circumstantial evidence. The significance of this behavior to the perceptions of the Arabic world puts the bizarre in a meaningful context. This is a guy who appeases Iran in every way but has taken every opportunity to publicly humiliate our best ally, the only true democracy in the middle-east.

His greatest protection is the fact that his actions are so suspicious that nobody wants to face the possibilities. The fact that his improbable rise to power is remarkably reminiscent of The Manchurian Candidate actually works to his advantage. It inoculates him because after all, if there was a movie about it, it couldn’t actually happen in real life. From the nationalization of industries, bribery of elected officials, assault on unborn children, destroying the greatest healthcare system on Earth and now appointing radical leftists while Congress is out of session, Obama is assaulting every facet of our lives at once.

The left know we cannot possibly garner attention to all of these battles at one time so some are sure to slip by without any animadversion. In the midst of everything else, he is launching a strategic assault upon our own military. Unlike other Democrats who used to ignore the military, this one couldn’t wait to assault it by pushing the homosexual agenda on it. Obama is using the same tactics on the military as the left have used on our children in the public school system. He is sowing the seeds of immorality because he wants to sculpt it into a left winged social experiment. What an ingenious way to destroy the most powerful force for good on Earth, from within, by sowing the seeds of dissension and debauchery which are certain to ensue.

Think I’m over-reacting? What a curious time, in the midst of war to make the commendation of sodomy a top priority in the military! It would be highly advisable to start a campaign to get copies of the constitution for every member of the military because the usurper will no doubt try to abuse them as he has abused everything else this nation has held sacred and it is only his first year.

It is clear this infiltrator is a globalist who wants this military to serve under the authority of the United Nations. It is clear that his loyalties are with the Islamic world and it is clear that he will seek to help them destroy the nation of Israel.Following is a somber verse from the Prophet Zechariah and it is frightening to realize that through the actions of Hussein and Biden, we are asking God to destroy our nation by siding with these Islamic terrorists. “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” - Zechariah 12:3

God promised Israel that land and the terrorists are not going to prevail. Israel WILL prevail regardless. The important question for America is –who- and –what- is our Commander-in-Chief and which side will America be on? Our fate as a nation depends upon that answer. A hint toward that answer can be seen in Sunday’s headline at Newsmax.com which reads “Legislation passed by Congress imposing harsh sanctions on Iran has languished for months without President Barack Obama’s signature as the Islamic Republic moves forward with its nuclear program.”

Something I would like to revisit was a story at the time of Obama’s inauguration. It was a bit of a fluff piece when we were told that Barack Obama would be the first sitting US president to use email and more significantly, a Blackberry. Initially it wasn’t certain he would be allowed to use one because of security concerns. It was said that his love for his blackberry was “famous” and Obama said they would have to “pry it from his hands” before he would give it up. According to the Guardian report linked below, it is a special, highly encrypted mobile which would satisfy security demands and "Obama will be able to use it still for routine and personal messages…"

I have security concerns regarding Obama and that BlackBerry but it isn’t for the same reasons. They gave him a new “spy-proof smartphone” ostensibly to protect Obama from spies. However, in light of this guy’s aversion for capitalism, our constitution and the foundational Christian values of our nation, this begs the question of what protections the people of this country are ceded from possible espionage. We know he’s also using this special Blackberry for personal use and that is what scares me. The way things are going with this President, I wouldn’t be surprised if they eventually do have to “pry it from his hands” by court order and the sooner the better because I’m really beginning to wonder what the h e double L we might find.

I will conclude with this subtle signal Obama has sent to his Ayatollah constituents.


This wasn’t a covert message but it was a significant slip up when you include it with the ever growing body of evidence. At the very least it is just one of many glaring giveaways that intelligent people should have pondered if they had conducted any meaningful due diligence before casting their votes.

If you are a Christian reading this, how many times in your life have you inadvertently referred to your faith as "my Muslim faith"? Can you honestly ever conjure up any scenario where you might ever accidentally call yourself a Muslim?

Cogitate on this in the context of all Obama’s bizarre behavior, the contemptuous gestures toward Israel going back several months from the symbolic shoe shot while making it clear to the world that he was talking with ISRAEL at that moment in time.

Combine that with Biden’s actions last week and Obama’s insolent (and juvenile) act of humiliating Netanyahu in Washington this week, making sure everyone in the worled KNEW he did so (to our shame). Then think about the fact that he was educated as a child in a Muslim school and the fact that standard Islamic “education” of children, especially in that part of the world instructs them on the duty of annihilating Israel and all Jews.

Think about his domestic terrorist friends who helped him launch his political career, his spiritual advisor and long time pastor Jeremiah “God damn America” Wright and his devout Marxist cabinet. Is it preposterous in light of everything to entertain the possibility that this nation might have a Manchurian candidate on their hands?I expect that I will receive some caustic emails from the left who love to indulge those who aim to destroy our constitution and everything we hold sacred. Being the masters of specious rhetoric, despite their eight years of antagonizing the benign President Bush, they will say “How dare you write such things… you may not like the man but you should respect the office of the presidency.” I will spare them the keystrokes and declare here and now. By God, I write these things BECAUSE I respect the office of the Presidency.

Rupert Murdoch's unfaithfulness to America

by MrArbitrage

Conservative author Diane West just wrote an important column in which she points out some disturbing trends regarding the media mollycoddling of Islamic tyrants. The example she highlighted was their treatment of Geert Wilders. If you are not familiar with Mr. Wilders, it’s not surprising given the obvious pro-Islam bias our media has demonstrated. Wilders is leader of the Freedom Party in the Netherlands and has been sounding the alarms against the Islamization of Europe.

Wilders became internationally known for his controversial film called Fitna - roughly translated as "strife" in Arabic - which links the Quran to terrorism. No television company would broadcast the film and Dutch politicians tried to ban it. The British government had at one point banned Wilder from the UK on the grounds that he posed a threat to public security. In the liberal European media you will often hear of Wilder referred to as a “fascist”, which is incredible if you consider that Muslim leaders practically worship Adolph Hitler, the man with whom Muslims were aligned during WW II.

It really demonstrates the contempt the left has for historical reality. Unfortunately, as Diane West’s column highlights, some who we often hold in high esteem - share in this contempt for history as far as Islam is concerned.West highlighted the fact that multiple Fox News pundits including Glenn Beck and Charles Krauthammer are now branding Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders as “beyond the political pale”. (Following this column is a link to Geerts’ official website where he addresses Fox and Krauthammer directly.) What makes Fox’s sudden affection for Islam suspicious is - as Ms. West accurately put it - “Rupert Murdoch, for reasons unknown, sold what is now a seven percent stake of Fox’s parent company News Corp. to a scion of the sharia-dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.” West contended that “for the Fox commentators, supposedly punditry’s bulwark of Western values, to bring it up just to slap it down -- and without factual care (to say the least) -- was disappointing but also irresponsible.”

You cannot count on -anyone- these days. The goal of Islam elucidated by Muhammad, the Quran and the Hadith is to conquer the world.Islam’s plan for western civilization is very clear. If you are a Christian or some other type of "infidel", you will basically have two choices:
Males - convert to Islam or you will be executed.

Women & Children – Convert to Islam or you will be mutilated and literally enslaved.
Jews - must be murdered regardless. According to Islam and Muhammad, all Jews must be eradicated from the face of the Earth. (Hitler is still a hero in Islamic nations and Mein Kampf is still a best seller there eighty six years after being written.)

Islam is only "peace" for Muslims who know very little about their religion and do not follow it with fervor (just as there are many who call themselves Christians by birth or tradition but have no idea what makes one a Christian). That may be the majority of Muslims (if we are fortunate) but true Islam can be nothing less than savagery and if there should be a “great awakening” among those who claim the title of Muslim, all hell will be unleashed all over western civilization.

Many Christians do not regularly participate in "mission’s trips" like those taking place in Haiti and throughout the world every day; but “fundamentalist Christians” have been faithfully orchestrating them for over 2,000 years. What about Muslims? Where’s the fruit of their religion? If you think you haven't seen a Muslim missionary, you haven't looked closely enough. The Muslim missionary can be seen in Sudan, Indonesia, Nigeria and other parts of the world, following the example of its founder Muhammad, murdering, plundering and trading slaves. The most well know Muslim mission’s trip in the US took place on September 11th, 2001. That was -NOT- as the cretins of the west claim is "radical Islam". That was simply OBEDIENT and authentic Islam. Those who deny this fact taught and ordered by Islam and its “holy” books are in apostasy. Sure there are many who have resisted and are resisting as we are seeing in Iran. And those people are being murdered by their Islamic government for being “secular”. The people in Iran who want their freedom are heretics in the mind of the sick, twisted Islamic government. That is what they want to bring here to America and that is what they will succeed in exporting to America if we do not rid ourselves of the traitorous appeasers and profiteers who are selling out our country to this evil religion.

Those who take offense to these assertions are simply deluded by the propaganda of people like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, George Soros, Rupert Murdoch and many others. They dismiss the truth with erroneous remarks like “there are extremists in every religion; you have whack job Christians that go out and kill people (like abortion Doctors)…” and the ever popular question “what about the crusades?” Those are comparisons often made by intelligent people who have some knowledge of history but are exceedingly ignorant of both Christianity and Islam. They are making a statement based upon what they –want- to be the case because it is simplistic.The reality is that throughout history there have been rulers in high places and Popes who –claimed- to be Christians - who were not. Anyone with knowledge of the Protestant Reformation knows that these corrupt leaders wouldn’t allow the Bible to be translated into the language that the people could read or understand –BECAUSE- what they were doing in the name of Christ was absolute corruption and in total contradiction to the teaching and works of Jesus Christ. These imposters were not at all Christians and they brutally murdered many reformers who dared to translate the words of Jesus Christ into the language of the people because they knew that once the people could learn the true word of God – their racket was over - and the truth would set the people free. This simple reality has been deliberately convoluted. Some are deceiving for financial gain and some are the same faction that gets aroused by sucking up to those who are determined to destroy America.

It is really quite simple to summarize. Simply look at the life and teachings of Jesus compared to the life and teachings of Muhammad. Those who believe in Jesus and follow his commands will love their neighbor as themselves and do unto others as they would have others do unto them. The commission that Jesus gave his disciples (and us) is to “go into all the world and make disciples of all men.” That is the catalyst which prompts real Christians to traverse the world feeding the poor, healing the sick, building hospitals, orphanages, drilling wells, etc. Jesus said whatever you do unto the LEAST of THESE, you have done unto ME. That-is the example that Christ set and what he instructed his followers-Christians- to do. Again, this is much different than Jihad, which is the work of the Muslim “missionary”. Scour the Earth for a demonstration of their good deeds and all you will find is what we have seen in New York City, Yemen, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Nairobi, Kenya and countless ongoing atrocities to boot.

Here is a photo of a boy who lived on a beautiful family farm as a child in southern Sudan until he was visited by some muslim missionaries. Here is an excerpt but go ahead and read his short story. "Men with guns were entering the town. Men on horses, shooting with their rifles, slashing people with their swords, chopping off heads with a single swipe. Someone grabbed me from behind - a murahaliin, yelling and waving his gun. He pushed me back together with other boys and girls. Everyone was crying and screaming for their parents. There were no Dinka men standing, everywhere I turn, I saw blood running from them like water in rivers." http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TVbzAukzhgw/RkSoFFY_ajI/AAAAAAAAABE/UwTSsNyoXJ4/s320/SUDAN1.jpg&imgrefurl=http://myden-myden.blogspot.com/2007/05/slavery-todaythe-story-of-francis-bok.html&usg=__AaGbsN0Ozdi-DFieG0iJFLZxRNY=&h=220&w=137&sz=27&hl=en&start=7&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=6eCJGnkcarZyUM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=67&prev=/images%3Fq=slavery%2Bsudan%26um=1%26hl=en%26rlz=1R2ADRA_enUS349%26tbs=isch:1

We are begging to be destroyed. I hope everyone is feeling good about themselves in the process. That’s what this is all about, “look at me, I’m such a humanitarian because I pacify terrorists, I'm such a diplomat…” They gave Yasser Arafat a friggin Nobel Peace Prize!In regard to Diane West’s column, I cannot say I’m surprised by Murdoch’s selling us out. Just because I prefer Fox News over the others, I have no delusions about this guy. It is clear Murdoch has put his back pocket ahead of US national security and national morality. Murdoch through the Fox Network is the biggest purveyor of filth on television. His company leads the pack on pushing the limits of acceptability and vilifying the faith upon which this nation was founded. He may have trouble with exposing the truth of Islam but Murdoch definitely has no problem PROFITEERING off of the mockery of Jesus Christ.

Here are a couple samples of his toxic assault on our nation. It is important that you view this as a responsible American because you SHOULD be offended that this is even on the airwaves. “Jesus Comes to Dinner”





I could no longer obtain a link to the worst of them. A March 30, 2009 “Family Guy” episode pushed the homosexual agenda and denigrated Christ again. At a "straight" meeting, the speaker talks to gays about Jesus and tells them, "Jesus Christ, who hates many people, but none more than homosexuals.” http://www.afa.net/Detail.aspx?id=2147483733 (PepsiCo helped sponsor the program.) Notice how Murdoch profits by putting such unthinkable filth on the airwaves.

Can you imagine what would happen if the left mocked Muhammad in this way? Can you imagine if the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episode where Larry David urinated on a painting of Jesus’ face had instead urinated on a painting depicting the face of Muhammad? It wouldn’t HAPPEN! (Curb you enthusiasm scene below)


The media, at our peril, venerate the terrorist Muhammad – and to be honest, that word is a euphemism for the so-called “prophet”. As I look at the western media dismissing a prescient man like Wilders, it reminds me of the years of disdain that Sir Winston Churchill endured from Parliament and the media as he vociferously warned them of the evils of Adolf Hitler.

The ignorance toward the murderous intent of Islam upon the entire globe is absolutely surreal. Couple that with the extreme hostility those same appeasers of Islam have toward Christ and it will strengthen the faith of anyone who knows the scriptures because of the accuracy of the promises, one of which is that good will be looked upon as evil and evil as good.

When I say it is surreal it is because the global treachery is all so obvious and undeniable to anyone who simply reads Islamic history and examines the Quran and the Hadith. To anyone with even a modicum of intellectual capability, it would seem IMPOSSIBLE for what we see happening – to actually be happening! But it IS! It is like Invasion of the BRAIN Snatchers.

I remember reading the prophecies in Revelation as a child and having a difficult time picturing the following specific verse being fulfilled: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Revelation 20:4.

The time of my childhood was a time before Islam was a thought on most of our American minds. Now as I read that passage, it makes me think it is entirely plausible that Islam does conquer the world. It was too difficult to picture beheadings at some point being received as a widespread form of capital punishment. In the context of today’s reality, it is much easier to see because, in the middle-east, beheadings are a normal part of life. In Saudi-Arabia beheading is the punishment for converting from Islam to Christianity. This is the type of law that they will bring to the entire world with the help of the high profile traitors like those previously enumerated as well as those eternally credulous and apathetic westerners who live for the plaudits that come with political correctness and appeasing those who want you dead.

I’ll never be able to erase from my mind the live broadcast by the Hollywood A-list after the Muslim mission’s trip of September 11th. A day or two later while the smoke and fire of the twin towers were still smoldering, Actor Will Smith on a national telethon, stood before the camera with a frail Muhammad Ali by his side and praised Islam for being such a “religion of peace.” What has Islam or ANY Muslim in the world ever done to deserve such laudations?

Where were these Hollywood degenerates when Mother Theresa died? You barely heard a mention of her deeds from the media or any of these shallow narcissists because ironically, Princess Diana died on the same day and they were all too busy worshipping the former princess for her lifelong self-sacrifices.

To Murdoch, the Hollywood miscreants and all of those in government who wish to sell out the United States for a few billion: If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude political correctness better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams (adapted for 21st Century by MrArbitrage)
