  • Duff; the lunacy continues

    It’s a slow news day, so I thought I’d see what’s on the mind of Gordon Duff today. Well, more accurately, what’s out of his mind. The Duffster never disappoints. Today he pushing the theory that bin Laden, a Mossad agent of course, is dead and has cashed his last CIA check;

    Consider this. If bin Laden was responsible for 9/11 why is it that the only terrorists arrested on 9/11 worked for Israel? Five Israelis, dubbed the “dancing Israeli’s for their celebration of joy, later admitted on live television that they were sent to “document the attack.” Of course, the more likely scenario is that this Mossad camera crew was there to guide the planes to their targets, given that they were strategically set up well in advance of the attack, cameras perfectly aligned for either filming the most dramatic footage since Zapruder…

    Or were they “painting” the World Trade Center towers with target lasers? Was it something else? 10 weeks of interrogation and they were shuttled back to Israel while Americans hunted for that other bin Laden, by that time dying, his last CIA paycheck uncashed.

    Consider this; the 19 hijackers were all blown up along with the passengers and crews of the aircraft. It’s had to arrest widely dispersed DNA samples, isn’t it?

    A commenter adds background on those mischievous “dancing Israelis”;

    It seems these Israeli explosive experts were going to blow up the George Washington Bridge on 911. Did their van, which was filled with explosives, contain enough explosives to severely damage the bridge? Or was the van serving as a prop to be used to blame the Muslims when the real damage would be done by a coat of micro-thermite put on the bridge cables by Mossad agents during it pre-911 renovation?

    According to CNN the van was packed with explosives. As for as I know, the Jewish Zionist controlled CNN didn’t present another article which states the men arrested were Israelis.

    CNN must be Mossad agents, as well.

    And, Julian Assange, also a Mossad agent, of course, in the World of Duff is trying to cover his Mossad ass;

    Assange, now fighting exposure by feinting at attacking Israel, is trying to appear less the Mossad operative by “releasing” stories through selected newspapers and claiming they are secret documents.

    General Petraeus will be relieved to know that Duff estimates that Petraeus is only facing about 20 al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan.

  • Moonbats upset that military prison is difficult to enter

    The folks at FiredogLake tried to get a petition of 42,000 signatures to Wikileaker Bradley Manning in the military detention facility at Quantico, VA this weekend. It’s difficult to make out what happened from the posts I’ve read from shrieking harpy, Jane Hamsher or her associate Michael Whitney. I guess it’s all written in Moonbat.

    But as near as I can determine, the military decided that the duo wasn’t going to visit Manning, and they were successful. It also looks like that Hamsher’s car was uninsured so the military had it towed – that’s a pretty common occurrence. I’ve seen it happen on every military facility I’ve entered. That’s not harassment, it’s policy.

    It was really heartening to David to hear of everyone’s support when we were being threatened with arrest, searched and detained for two hours. What happened was not a surprise. It’s sad that this is what we have all come to expect when advocating for the civil rights of someone who has been identified as an “enemy of the state,” without benefit of a trial. But here we are.

    I don’t know what the “enemy of the state” thing is about, I haven’t heard Manning called that by anyone in or out of the military, so that it required “quotes”, but there’s been no trial because of Manning’s rights. Nidal Hussein hasn’t been to trial either, but it’s pretty clear that he pulled the trigger and shot dozens of people at Fort Hood. It’s also pretty clear that Manning did the Wikileaks thing and many of the security measures surrounding him are for his own protection – from himself as well as his fellow inmates.

    Hippies shouldn’t bother to evaluate the military culture and compare it to life outside of the military. They end up looking like morons. And, Jane, insure your car like a grown up.

  • Why do I do this to myself.

    Recently I have been on two different conversations that have me banging my head against the wall.

    The first one was a re-post on Facebook article by a guy by the name Scott Bonn. The standard claims, the UN did not approve, violated international law, we needed the UN’s approval for it to be legal, and accusations of war crimes.

    So I posted on the person’s post and she said that she was friends with the guy and that I would get a reply from him. I was thinking that I might get a decent reply: mistake one. He responded when I posted about the UN’s resolutions that supported us being in Iraq all the way until 2008. Which he replied.

    The resolution was to “inspect” not to bomb and kill tens of thousands of its citizens! An invasion requires a UN authorization which the Bush crowd sought but, when denied, they conveniently said they didn’t need it. The invasion also violated the Nuremberg Charter as an aggressive act of war and the occupation, torture and killing violated the Geneva conventions. Ask any other expert on the international laws of war and they will tell you the same. Thank you.

    So my douche bag dectector is going off big time, but I wanted to reply to this “expert” to see what his sources would be if I listed the UN resolutions regarding Iraq. I even gave him direct links to the UN resolutions right off the UN’s website. Also reminded him about the cease fire and that Afghanistan was a UN approved operation. So I was thinking maybe that just maybe I might get a response to these Resolutions. Mistake 2.

    Doesn’t justify an invasion. Plain and simple under international law.

    Yea, that counters everything, just reply back with a comment that all but says: “I am right because I say so”.

    I message the person to say that I am hardly impressed with her new “friend” and she was less then impressed as well about the exchange.

    Then there was another one were I was directed to this link after I used Iraq as a example of a working counter-insurgency place. The person that I replied to was making a comment that only a operation like the one in Sri Lanka.

    The article starts off with the again standard claim that there is a Civil War raging in Iraq

    Bombings took the lives of 62 Shiite pilgrims, mostly in the holy city of Karbala, but also in Diyala province. Sunni Arab guerrillas are still attempting to destabilize the Shiite-dominated government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki by provoking Shiite-Sunni feuds and spreading a feeling of instability that interferes with investment and reconstruction. .

    The second I saw Diyala providence got my attention right away. For those that do not know I was stationed in Iraq from 2008-2009. So considering that I went on over 165 missions in this area, I wanted to know what he was trying to paint that place as.

    All these years after George W. Bush’s insane war of choice against Iraq, that country remains mired in civil war, as social scientists define it:

    Ugh, no it was not really as bad as he claims it is. You can read my thoughts on this on that link.

    Also his confidence in US and the Iraqi populations is less then stunning.

    The bad news is that there is no early prospect of this civil war ending, and security improvements have leveled off in recent months.

    All this is not to say that the 47,000 US troops still in the country should remain (at all!) If Arabic-speaking, Iraqi Shiite troops and police could not stop a truck bombing in Karbala, US troops wouldn’t have a prayer of doing so. This level of violence cannot in fact bring down the Iraqi government. But it can keep Iraq from attracting foreign investment and keep the population nervous, and so is an element of destabilization.

    Bush and the Neoconservatives’ shining beacon on a hill has in fact become a nearly 8 year long civil war, with no end in sight.

    But then again this is the same guy that said this.

    There are rumors that the Israeli government may declare a unilateral cease fire Saturday. They had better. Because if they ruin the Obama inauguration by splashing the bloody bodies of dead Palestinian children all over the press during the next few days, no Americans, even the most pro-Israeli, are going to forgive them.

    Why do I do this to myself thinking that I get a real conversation.

    ADDED:

    I just got this a reply.

    Of course there’s a civil war: that’s what the neocons wanted and that’s why there was no post-war planning. The Israel Lobby neocons pretend to be about spreading democracy whereas they actually are about destabilization. Michael A. Ledeen wrote in his 2002 book The War Against the Terror Masters: “First and foremost, we must bring down the terror regimes, beginning with the big three: Iran, Iraq, and Syria.” “Stability is an unworthy American mission…. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia…The real issue is not whether, but how best to destabilize.” Of course, fomenting civil wars and destabilizing the Muslim enemies of Israeli expansionism has been a longtime Israeli strategy. This policy was enunciated in February 1982 by Israeli strategist Oded Yinon writing in the World Zionist Organization magazine Kivunim. The idea was to dissolve Israel’s enemies into powerless mini-states. Yinon relished the Iraq-Iran War which he hoped would lead to civil war and fragmentation of Iraq, Israel’s most feared enemy. It did not. However, the Zionist neocons then lied us into the unnecessary invasion of Iraq in 2003 which did foment a civil war. Similarly, the current US/Israel-pushed Hariri tribunal is aimed at destabilizing Lebanon. That’s what the neocons want.

  • Note to Dan Choi; PFCs are not your friends

    Someone sent me a PowerPoint presentation made by DADT Postergirl Dan Choi when the Army first realized they’d made a mistake by commissioning him back in 2005 at Fort Drum when he was relieved for punching a platoon sergeant in the chest. I’m working on a whole post for it for next week, but I could never post the whole thing. But here’s a taste of the crazy;

    Of course, this incident happened years before Choi “came out” as a gay man, so you can see he definitely had some issues not attached to being gay. But anyway, Choi made this presentation and handed it out to his PFC buddies in the S-1 shop who in turn passed it out their LTs and it’s been kept under covers until now.

    Here’s a lesson for West Pointers and other officers who haven’t been up through the ranks; Privates are not your friends. They’ll screw you every chance they get no matter how nice they are to your face. That’s why they’re privates.

  • Moore: you own guns because you’re racist

    Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow. You know some idiot bullshit is going to come from those two being in the same room. Moore first asks why people in Tucson would need to own guns since gun crimes and crime in general is so low there. Maybe a better question is “why would criminals want to live in Tucson when everyone has a gun?”

    Then he goes on to ask all of us what we think the criminal that we picture in our heads looks like. Of course, we’re all supposed to answer that it’s a huge black guy. So we’re racist for owning guns.

    Well, since we have only two black women in my town (and I’m friends with half of them) my imaginary criminal is one of the pony-tailed bald white guys who did some carpentry on the corporate retreat. One of the guys who tried to get me tell him about the secret alien technology I’m developing. Yeah, no shit, that’s the conversation I had recently with a local – and I immediately went out and bought another gun, just for that guy.

    Moore goes on to say that we own millions of guns but that there are only about 300 home invasions every year, so why so many guns? Now I hang with a different crowd than Moore, who probably has people who provide an armed response to his alarm system. And as far as I know, home invaders, even though there’s only a few hundred of them, don’t call ahead so I can get the publicly-provided armed response on sight in time, and I guess there’s no public schedule for home invasions, so we really don’t know where they’re going to strike next.

    And my alarm just announces which way the criminals are coming from in the house, and since I’m the only armed response in my house, my alarm becomes an audio aiming stake. And I’m determined not to be the first guy in my neighborhood to be kidnapped by a meth-head who thinks I know some alien technology recipe for moonshine.

    This is the man who the Left listens to for foreign and domestic policy. I’ve had more intellectual discussions with my three-year-old grandson who is quick to punctuate discussions with “I like Transformers”.

  • Crosshairs again?

    Old Trooper sends us link to an article on Townhall in reference to a protest that union activists are planning in front of the home of WalMart developer Dick Knapp who is about to sign a deal with WalMart at a recently defunct Chevy dealer several blocks from Walter Reed across the street from Metro Police’ 4th District Station.

    After putting up such a fuss about Sarah Palin’s crosshair map, you’d think someone in the unions would be a little more sensitive about putting WalMart’s smiley face in the center of rifle cross hairs, wouldn’t you?

    But almost as egregious is the fact that WalMart is willing to put a store on Georgia Avenue. Walter Reed, a few blocks north of the old Chevy dealer, is leaving for new digs in Bethesda and a few hundred local jobs are leaving with it. The area is already blighted. Blockbuster closed their franchise across the street because no one returned the CDs, but WalMart is willing to begin an enterprise that might employ a few people and provide shopping convenience for the neighborhood.

    But here are the unions stopping what may be the best thing to happen to the people living there. By picketing a private home.

  • Things said in our names.

    Some of the newer things going around on Facebook, Conservatives growing weary of Afghan war: study

    A new survey commissioned by the Afghanistan Study Group reveals that conservatives and tea party voters are growing concerned about the sustainability of US operations in Afghanistan.

    Sixty-six percent of conservatives said the US should diminish its military presence in Afghanistan — 39 percent supported reduced troop levels while 27 percent championed prompt withdrawal.

    The only time I have ever heard people call for a draw down is that the President should go all in our all out, not a in between. But this is being passed around as it it is a sudden change that the those against the Wars are winning political ground.

    Of course that means putting out more videos like this one by Kathy Kelly.

    Just back from Afghanistan, Kathy talks about the impact of the war, Afghan desires for non-military solutions, and the role of the US peace movement.

    The second part can be found here.

    Of course videos like this would not be complete without anti-recruiting videos.

    Straight talk from soldiers, veterans and their family members tells what is missing from the sales pitches presented by recruiters and the military’s marketing efforts.

    So in short everything is your fault you blood thirsty bastard, but we really care about you.

  • Westboro klan call off Tuscon protest

    I guess radio personality Mike Gallagher offered the Westboro fags some air time on his show in return for their promise to cancel plans for protests at the funerals in Tuscon;

    Phelps-Roper said the decision boiled down to the church being able to communicate its message with as wide an audience as possible. She said Gallagher’s radio audience is estimated to be about 10 million people.

    Phelps-Roper’s oldest daughters, Megan Phelps-Roper and Rebekah Phelps-Roper, also will travel to New York and be at Gallagher’s studio.

    Phelps-Roper said her daughters could be on the program, which can be heard at www.mikeonline.com.

    “No question it’s a painful process,” Gallagher told the Associated Press of allowing Phelps-Roper on his show. “Believe me, I’m doing this show with a heavy heart. I don’t like the idea of giving them the satisfaction of this, but I believe my radio airwaves are less important than them hurting families.”

    Thanks, Mike, we do appreciate the gesture. Of course, I wonder if the Phelps Klan will make it out of New York unscathed.
