Security without reliable warheads

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Monday, June 01, 2009 1:22:24 AM

"While nuclear weapons are proliferating, and potential enemies are acquiring nuclear weapons, the United States is retreating from the role of major nuclear power. The new administration prefers security without reliable warheads, and wishes to set a good example for other countries."



A Dreamer at the Helm
by J. R. Nyquist

We all have hopes and dreams. And then there is reality, which demands our attention and our respect. America has been living in a dream world for almost twenty years, somehow managing to evade reality – social, economic and international. The process of economic unraveling is our pecuniary punishment for evading reality. Destructive war has been, and will be again, our national punishment. Continued...

Believing in cringing to tyrants

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Sunday, May 31, 2009 1:03:23 PM

"All of Obama's foreign policy advisers believe in cringing to tyrants. They think we just haven't been nice enough to malignant regimes in Tehran and Pyongyang. That isn't even for grown-ups; it should have been left behind long ago in summer camp."



Defeating a Hitler with nukes: Nothing else matters
By James Lewis

May 25, 2009: Kim Jong-Il explodes his first full-sized nuclear bomb. This day shall live in infamy. North Korea helped build a secret nuclear power plant in Syria, which was destroyed by the Israeli Air Force in 2007 while the CIA was still asleep. North Korea sells nuclear and missile technology to Iran and Pakistan. Kim can easily sell his nuclear Bomb in the Middle East; today his bomb also threatens Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China. Like it or not, we are being dragged into the Second Age of Nuclear Terror. Nothing else matters now. Continued...

Strict limits on the powers of all branches

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Saturday, May 30, 2009 12:54:17 AM
"If the founders wanted three coequal branches of government, we would have them. They didn't, with good reason, and we don't. This is nearly as important to understand as the fact that the Constitution places strict limits on the powers of all branches of the federal government – including Congress."


Lesson for a 'constitutional scholar'
by Ideological Warrior of the Nation - Joseph Farah
 
"I will deal with Congress and the courts as coequal branches of government." That's what Barack Hussein Obama, former law professor and self-proclaimed "constitutional scholar," said Thursday in his defense of closing the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay. Continued...

Islamist groups and the mainstream media

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Friday, May 29, 2009 1:14:48 AM
"Well, I have news for these Islamist groups and the gullible mainstream media that is in their pockets: Scores of mosques have been linked to terrorist investigations, indictments, convictions, and deportations. In most of these cases, it was not the mosque leadership that pointed out the existence of potential terrorists among them. In return, confidential informants have been vilified as "snitches" by the mosque leadership."



Stop Protecting the Jihadists
Confidential informants like the one who brought down the would-be Bronx synagogue attackers have saved countless lives. So why are American Islamic organizations working to sabotage them?
by Steven Emerson

Just when threats of terrorism had seemingly disappeared from the radar screen, Americans woke up Thursday morning to hear the news about four radical Muslims who plotted to bomb two synagogues in New York and shoot down a military plane using a Stinger missile. Fortunately, the FBI had infiltrated the plotters from the very beginning with a confidential informant who learned of the plan from an Afghan-born uslim. Continued...

Stone Age man was a communist

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, May 28, 2009 2:07:54 AM
"Communism (i.e. Marxism-Leninism) teaches that Stone Age man was a communist, that original sin occurred with the development of agriculture and the division of land into “property” thereby instituting the categories “rich” and “poor.”



Stone Age Genocide
by J. R. Nyquist

There once lived a race of men classified by modern scientists as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis – otherwise known as Neanderthals. The bones of this prehistoric race have been found in Europe and Asia. It is believed they died out between 30,000 and 24,000 years ago. They used stone tools, probably knew how to make fire, and they were far stronger than modern humans. The great drawback of Neanderthal man was that he needed about 4,000 calories per day to remain healthy, and he was almost exclusively carnivorous (feeding from the top of the food chain). There is evidence Neanderthals practiced cannibalism when faced with starvation. Continued...

A major threat around the world

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Sunday, May 24, 2009 7:45:37 AM
"Prison Islamization and radicalization remain a major threat around the world, including in Western Europe and Russia, as well as the U.S. Unfortunately, correctional authorities have lagged behind police bodies and prosecutors in dealing with the danger."



New York Terror Plot Spotlights Radical Islam in Prisons
by Imaad Malik

Disclosure of a plot by four ex-convicts — three Americans and a Haitian — to bomb synagogues and attack aircraft in New York City and upstate Newburgh, N.Y., highlights the intersection between social pathologies in the African-American community, radical Islam, and derivatives of the latter, especially in prisons. Continued...

Changing Jewish life in the United States

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Saturday, May 23, 2009 1:06:13 AM
"As I concluded in a 2005 article on this subject, "Even though most Jews resist acknowledging it, the Muslim threat is changing Jewish life in the United States. The golden age of American Jewry is coming to an end."



A History of Muslim Terrorism against Jews in the United States
by Daniel Pipes

The arrest yesterday [May 20, 2009] of four would-be jihadis before they could attack two synagogues in New York City brings to mind a long list of terrorist assaults in the United States by Muslims on Jews. These began in 1977 and have continued regularly since, as suggested by the following list of major incidents (ignoring lesser ones that did damage only to property, such a series of attacks on Chicago-area synagogues): Continued...

A government dismal record of regulating itself

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Friday, May 22, 2009 1:16:16 AM
"It is government's job to make and enforce the rules that allow a civilized society to flourish. But it has a dismal record of regulating itself."



Why Government Can't Run a Business
Politicians need headlines. Executives need profits.
By JOHN STEELE GORDON
 
The Obama administration is bent on becoming a major player in -- if not taking over entirely -- America's health-care, automobile and banking industries. Before that happens, it might be a good idea to look at the government's track record in running economic enterprises. It is terrible. Continued...

A Muslim state-within-a-state

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, May 21, 2009 2:21:45 AM
"...it is clear that the government needs to find better ways to assimilate those who travel to the U.S. in large numbers as refugees. As these communities grow, the U.S. may find itself with unassimilated masses asserting themselves as a state-within-a-state and over the long term, dealing with the "No-Go Zones" and their subsequent instability as seen in France."



Muslim Row
By Ryan Mauro
 
The Bible-belt state of Tennessee is not known to have been targeted by Al-Qaeda or any other radical Islamic terrorist group, but the Volunteer State may be becoming a hotbed for the growth of extremism. Reports from Nashville, Shelbyville, and Dover indicate that Tennessee has gradually become a stronghold for radical Islamic forces that are transforming parts of the state. Continued...

The First Lady said...

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 1:15:52 AM

"..."wrong ideology" results in a political, economic, social and cultural control by the State all aspects of the American people's life and a final triumph of Socialism in America.- Boris Tiraspolsky



Michelle Obama
The First Lady said: “The arts are not just a nice thing to have. The arts define who we are as a people. My husband and I believe strongly that arts education is essential for building innovative thinkers who will be our nation’s leaders of tomorrow. The president and I want to ensure that all children have access to great works of art,”

Comment by Boris Tiraspolsky:

Mrs. Obama said trivial words that would not have drawn much of my attention if the very same day president Barack Obama would have not announced "strict limits on vehicle pollution that will set national standards across the US for the first time". In addition to that GM bankruptcy plan eyes quick sale to gov't.
 
I wrote some time ago about Obama's attack of administrative ardour. The latter when it comes to arts  actually means "strict limits" and "national standards across the US" as well.

In other words we may witness first steps of a vigorous intrusion of the State in what arts should or should not convey. There is no doubt that the "national standards" for the Arts will be set to support Obama's agenda and sustain Obama's cult. These arts are welcome unlimitedly. All other arts are a subject for limitations and restrictions.   
 
I cannot help it, but Mrs. Obama's words remind me of Nazi Germany where art was considered to be one of the most important elements to strengthening the Third Reich and purifying the nation. Political aims and artistic expression became one. The task of art in the Third Reich was to shape the population's attitudes by carrying political messages with stereotyped concepts and art forms.

Adolf Hitler linked art with the country life, with health, and with the Aryan race. "We shall discover and encourage the artists who are able to impress upon the State of the German people the cultural stamp of the Germanic race . . . in their origin and in the picture which they present they are the expressions of the soul and the ideals of the community." (Hitler, Party Day speech, 1935)

No further comments are necessary. However,  the First Lady needs to learn a difference between just "arts" and "useful Arts" as it is mandated by the Constitution of the United States.

Needless to say that "useful Arts" can introduce principles of Ethics and Esthetics of the Constitution, impact minds of the American people with "right ideology", and form role models necessary for combating ideological enemies of the Nation and their collaborators.

"... the Progress... of useful Arts” is to form advanced “communication system” between different parts of the Nation - governments, population, political elites, intellectual elites, business community, military, and etc. - for a joint effort in combating ideological enemies domestically and abroad." Useful Arts in American past and future

The man who transformed politics in America

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Tuesday, May 19, 2009 10:43:24 AM
"Saul Alinsky was the man who transformed politics in America into all-out war mode.  Alinsky's tenth rule of the ethics of means:  "You do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments."  All's fair in love and war, and politics, to Alinsky, was war."


Saul Alinsky (1909-1972)

Barack Obama, the Quintessential Liberal Fascist
By Kyle-Anne Shiver
"They fear that the development and building of People's (community) Organizations is the building of a vast power group which may fall prey to a fascistic demagogue who will seize leadership and control and turn an organization into a Frankenstein's monster against democracy."  - Saul Alinsky responding to his critics, Reveille for Radicals; p. 199

When Saul Alinsky began building his community-organization movement in 1930s Chicago, observers were watching Alinsky with one eye, while with the other eye observing the building of communist and fascist movements in Europe. It wasn't hard then to see in Alinsky's programs at home, elements of the people's revolution from Russia, as well as some of the same "in your face" tactics being employed by Hitler's Brownshirts. Continued...

The threat is likely to continue evolving

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Monday, May 18, 2009 4:26:50 AM
"The threat posed by global jihadist groups is likely to continue evolving rapidly in the years ahead. In the United Kingdom's new counterterrorism strategy report, released in March 2009, the British project that the threat will look very different in three years than it does now. In the UK's view, al-Qaeda is likely to fragment and may not survive in its current form. Instead, smaller, "self-starter groups" will likely grow stronger and more prominent."



Assessing Progress against the Global Jihadist Threat
By Michael Jacobson

In April 2009, the U.S. State Department and the European U-nion released their annual terrorism reports, which paint a varied picture of international counterterrorism efforts to date, with clear progress in some areas and deterioration in others. The reports also illustrate how the rapidly evolving terrorist threat presents an ongoing and significant challenge to the United States and its allies, as terrorists continually adapt to international pressure. One positive aspect of the reports is that Americans and Europeans appear to have similar views on the threat posed by international Islamist terrorism, which may offer opportunities for the Obama administration as it attempts to improve transatlantic ties. Continued...

Spoiled by too much success

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Sunday, May 17, 2009 2:23:06 AM
"As Oswald Spengler predicted, we are passing from capitalism to Caesarism. There is something natural in the logic of this passage. The reversion to the armed man as supreme arbiter is not preferable, but merely inevitable given that human nature becomes spoiled by too much success. We should be reminded that nations are born in blood and renewed in blood. We do not like this. We don’t want it. But everything we are doing plays to this tragic passage."



The Post-American Apocalypse
by J. R. Nyquist

In Fareed Zakaria’s book, The Post American World, we find some apt criticisms of American behavior (and Western behavior in general). “In past crises,” he wrote, “the West played the part of the stern schoolteacher rebuking a wayward classroom. The lessons they imparted now seem discredited. Recall that during the Asian financial crisis the United States and other Western countries demanded that the Asians take three steps – let bad banks fail, keep spending under control, and keep interest rates high. In its own crisis, the West has done exactly the opposite on all three fronts.” Here Zakaria brilliantly exposes our unwillingness to face the music. We think somehow that we are the exception to the rule. This is because our collective character has been spoiled. It has long been my contention, that because we are “spoiled,” our culture has become a process of leveling as described in Søren Kierkegaard’s essay “The Present Age.” Continued...

If they don't like waterboarding...

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Friday, May 15, 2009 3:23:33 AM
"Since the party in power seems to have no problems with the use of Tasers on American citizens, surely they could have no problems using them on enemy combatants who are believed to have information critical to the nation's safety and security, right? If they don't like waterboarding, how about Tasers?"



Shocked about waterboarding?
 
I don't get it. The consensus in Washington these days is against coercive interrogations of even the most dangerous terrorists in the world – monsters who have knowledge of impending massive, deadly attacks on innocent U.S. citizens. The politicians who control the Congress and the White House say it would be "cruel and unusual punishment" to employ techniques like "waterboarding" – even though it causes no permanent damage, scarring or disfigurement. Continued...

The Messiah of the United States of America

Posted by Boris Tiraspolsky on Thursday, May 14, 2009 1:22:08 AM

"I, therefore, the Messiah of the United States of America, acting of my own volition, appealing to Myself for the rectitude of my intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority of Myself, solemnly publish and declare that the United States ought to be dependent states; that they are absolved from the Tenth Amendment, and that all political connection between them and the Federal Government, is and ought to be of a dependent nature; and that as subservient and dependent states and citizens thereof, they have no power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, or do any other acts and things without express permission from Federal Government thus represented by Me."



Barack Obama's Declaration of Dependence
By Pamela Meister

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one Messiah to dissolve the historic bonds that have connected his subjects with the fundamental beliefs of a bunch of dead white guys, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Marx entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.  Continued...
