The Manchurian President?

We now face total, catastrophic failure in the Middle East, due to the ineptitude of Obama and Kerry (and Clinton before him).

Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood are in power in every country we supported regime change in during the 'Arab Spring', and the influence of Iran has spread exponentially.

Iraq will fall, Afghanistan will either return to the Taliban or fall to the Brotherhood.

We have replaced the old dictatorships (most of which kept the Muslim extremists at bay) with religious zealots who wish for apocolyptic war to usher in their messiah.

The stated goal of the Brotherhood, the Iranian Mullahs, and many other terror groups is to usher in a Caliphate.

Please read the first half of this article carefully;

Why has Obama supported the wrong side in every single Middle Eastern country that has had "regime change"?



"....Since assuming office, President Obama has weakened America both domestically and abroad by emboldening U.S. enemies and tacitly supporting Muslim Brotherhood revolutions that have empowered Islamic radicals..."

Tunisia.

Morrocco.

Yemen.

Libya.

Egypt.

Syria.

In each and every country that has had "regime change" since the outset of the Obama/leftist media-touted 'Arab Spring', the leaders were either outwardly pro-Western, or at least kept the Muslim extremists at bay.

In each instance, Obama and the media backed the 'rebels", which were a mix of Al Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, and Iranian controlled terror groups.

In a nutshell, we have traded stability for instability and outright Muslim extremism in almost all of these countries.

Why is the President of the United States supporting Muslim extremism against a formula that while definitely not perfect, has worked in the Middle East?

Even before he was elected, I dubbed Obama as
the Manchurian Candidate".

I'm not going to bore you with the details of the old Frank Sinatra movie or the excellent 1959 book by Richard Condon, which involved a brainwashed soldier that was used as an assassin by the Communists.

Obama hasn't assassinated anyone.
Not personally.

He has, however, been wholly instrumental in the assassination of numerous governments.

The questions I want answered are, why, and at the behest of whom?

There is more to this than some unknown community organizer that won the political lottery at work here.

There a forces at work that none of us can comprehend, I'm afraid.

I await the knock on my door................

The Blow That Killed America 100 Years Ago

The blow that killed America 100 years ago

No, this wasn't a war, at least not in the sense that there were men dying on battlefields, cannons firing, ships sinking.
No, this was a deliberate, insidious, long range plan by the American Progressive movement, the end results of which are just now coming to full bloom.

We the People should have taken action at the ballot box thousands of times since 1913, demanding that these evil, Republic-destroying Amendments be repealed.

Instead, we have allowed ourselves to become entitlement-dependent, subservient dullards that our Founding Fathers would have loathed, had they known what we would do with the great Republic they created with their blood, sweat, and tears.

We should instantly rise to the occasion and swell the ranks of Town Hall meetings, march in the streets en masse, protest in State Capitols and Washington, D.C., and crowd the polls in record numbers to vote the scoundrels out of office.

Instead, the Takers eagerly await the next portion of scraps tossed by our masters, and most of the Makers dream of the next season of American Idol.

 The Crash is almost upon us


"....the market gains experienced recently, with the Dow first topping 14,000 on its way to setting record highs, are giving investors a false sense of security.
 
“It’s not that the stock market is gaining value… it’s that our money is losing value. And so if you have a debased currency… a devalued currency, the price of everything goes up. Stocks are no exception,” he said.
“The Fed knows that the U.S. economy is not recovering,” he noted. “It simply is being kept from collapse by artificially low interest rates and quantitative easing. As that support goes, the economy will implode.“

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The "experts" keep pointing to the stock market numbers as some sort of "proof" that the economy is improving.
We are actually in the throes of inflation, and most are too stupid to see it.

Gas.

Food.

The Stock Market.

The price of everything is up, and rising.
If it weren't for increased supply, gasoline prices would be increasing, but even with increased supply and steady demand, the prices remain inflated.

Instead of jerking the rug out, they're sliding it out ever so slowly.

Administration "disinvites" pastor from inaugural benediction because he believes homosexuality is a sin

The Giglio Imbroglio: The Public Inauguration of a New Moral McCarthyism

A new chapter in America’s moral revolution came as Atlanta pastor Louie Giglio withdrew from giving the benediction at President Obama’s second inaugural ceremony. In a statement released to the White House and the Presidential Inaugural Committee, Giglio said that he withdrew because of the furor that emerged yesterday after a liberal watchdog group revealed that almost twenty years ago he had preached a sermon in which he had stated that homosexuality is a sin and that the “only way out of a homosexual lifestyle … is through the healing power of Jesus.”

In other words, a Christian pastor has been effectively disinvited from delivering an inaugural prayer because he believes and teaches Christian truth.

The fact that Giglio was actually disinvited was made clear in a statement from Addie Whisenant of the Presidential Inaugural Committee:

'We were not aware of Pastor Giglio’s past comments at the time of his selection, and they don’t reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this inaugural. Pastor Giglio was asked to deliver the benediction in large part because of his leadership in combating human trafficking around the world. As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration’s vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans.'

That statement is, in effect, an embarrassed apology for having invited Louie Giglio in the first place. Whisenant’s statement apologizes for the Presidential Inaugural Committee’s failure to make certain that their selection had never, at any time, for any reason, believed that homosexuality is less than a perfectly acceptable lifestyle. The committee then promised to repent and learn from their failure, committing to select a replacement who would “reflect this administration’s vision of inclusion and acceptance.”

The imbroglio over Louie Giglio is the clearest evidence of the new Moral McCarthyism of our sexually “tolerant” age. During the infamous McCarthy hearings, witnesses would be asked, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?”

In the version now to be employed by the Presidential Inaugural Committee, the question will be: “Are you now or have you ever been one who believes that homosexuality (or bisexuality, or transsexualism, etc.) is anything less than morally acceptable and worthy of celebration?”


Do we need any more proof that Christianity is under direct attack?

Now the Administration itself, quite openly, in fact, are saying that unless you as a Christian believe not as the Bible teaches, but as the Administration mandates, we don't want you to play in our yard.
The Founders of this Republic would vomit on their Louis Vitton shoes.

Actually, I think they'd invite them to a duel.

Feinstein's true goal is to completely disarm ALL American citizens

"If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it." -- Senator Diane Feinstein, CBS-TV, 60 Minutes, 5 February 1995.

The "Assault Weapons" ban of 1994 wasn't good enough for Comerade Feinstein then, and the latest incarnation won't be in 2013.

These Progressives will stop at nothing in their drive toward the ultimate goal;

total disarmament of the American population.

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

An American Epidemic

I worked for over 20 years in the ER.
Not just 1 ER, but 2 of the largest in East TN, simultaneously for most of that time.

I can tell you I've seen dozens and dozens, probably hundreds, of extreme psychiatric cases during my career. I have definitely seen hundreds of people come in for various minor/moderate psych problems, the overwhelming majority of whom were being managed not by Psychiatrists or even Psychologists, but by regular medical Doctors with little to no business doing so.
We saw that every single day.
Every single day.

Why?

Because the Psych system is absolutely overwhelmed with cases.
There is so few inpatient psych beds that exist in this country, and particularly this area, I would say it was a joke, except that it isn't. It's a shame, a tragic problem that's existed for many years, but is now at an epidemic level.

So, people go to their regular Doc, and tell them their problems, and the Dr just writes them a script for one of the antidepressant, antianxiety, even antipsychotic meds that are out there, even though they have no real expertise in identifying people who have true clinical psychiatric processes going on. Many of them do it because they know these patients cannot get psych care.

Many times these people are on combinations of medications that actually 'work against one another' so to speak, and can cause unwanted psych symptoms themselves.

Listen to the TV commercials disclaimer on virtually all psych meds--they themselves can cause thoughts of, if not actual suicide and/or violent behaviors and personality changes.

Do I really want my Internal Medicine Dr. or Family Medicine Dr. prescribing me these meds? Do you?

Folks, the fact is that there is an epidemic of mammoth proportions going on in this country.
Untreated/undertreated/poorly treated mental illness has been on the rise for a good number of years.
There is little if any real treatment going on, because there just isn't enough inpatient facilities, and woefully little outpatient treatment either.

I cannot tell you how frustrated it feels to have a guy brought into the ER, who was waiting at home to kill his wife & kids, (his statement to me) but they knew something was wrong & wife called cops. Cops get to the house, they had to talk down, he had the barrel of a 30-06 RIFLE IN HIS MOUTH. They talk him down, bring him to the ER.
We do the protocol; alcohol/drug screen, etc. He of course has a psych history, depression, being medicated by his regular MD, with some outpatient treatment. They just have him in counseling, he goes about 2/3 of the time, diagnosis is major depression.
Gets into a spat with wife, decides to kill her & the kids (his statement to me). Thankfully, this time it was avoided.
He gets to the ER, and is going back and forth between anger & hyper-calm (bad sign). We have security on him of course, but the cops have as usual left him there with us-suicide/attempted is a crime, but they never, ever prosecute.
Anyway, we get him evaluated by psych, which takes hours.
They decide he needs to go to the ONLY local psych facility that takes unstable, violent patients. Well, they're full, and the Dr. there is giving us all kinds of grief. Bottom line, they agree to evaluate him and admit if they think he needs it.
Finally, we get him transported by the police to the facility. Cop arrives at psych hospital, and is met at the door by the Dr., who tells him not to leave, so he can take him back if they don't admit him.
They don't admit him.
The cop brings him back to us, and leaves him.
So, we get another eval on him, and finally get him admitted to an inpatient facility north of us, about 2 hours away.
This entire episode lasted over 12 hours from the time he first set foot in the ER.
He was "stabilized" and released after several days.
Upon his return home, his wife & kids had left the house.
Guy sets his house on fire, and shoots himself.

That was over just one case, over 10 years ago, and is but one of dozens and dozens, of stories I could tell, some with happier endings, most with tragic ends.

TELL ME the system isn't broke, I'll call you a fool to your face.

We  Americans have created this monster ourselves, with our systemic, liberalistic, 'everybody's a victim', 'everybody's entitled', "there's a pill for that" attitudes.

The fact is that some people are indeed mentally ill enough to need to be removed from the society they endanger.

I have seen many that I wish had been removed.
A lot of them committed suicide, many of them committed murder, a fair number of whom had been treated for mental illness, but allowed to walk among us.

There are far more of them out there than you know, or wish to know about. How long do we allow them to endanger the rest of us?

If my saying that offends anyone, I am sorry that you find it offensive, but I have seen more up close cases of people who are a danger to themselves and/or others than you have, unless you either work in mental health, or have been where I've been, worked where I worked.

Our society is broken.

Our mental health system is broken.

Evil is at play .

I guess the answer is that politicians will give speeches, and try to ban tools.
The media will try to sensationalize the events to swell their ratings.

Neither of these are in any way solutions to the situation, but it's all we're likely to get.

China: School attacker uses knife in Dec. 2011 attack on children

December 2011; China- man uses knife to injure 22 in school attack 


BEIJING (Reuters) - A knife-wielding man slashed 22 children and an adult at an elementary school in central China on Friday, state media reported, the latest in a series of attacks on schoolchildren in the country. 
The man attacked the children at the gate of a school in Chenpeng village in Henan province, the Xinhua news agency reported. 
Police arrested a 36-year-old man, identified as villager Min Yingjun, Xinhua said. It did not give further details of the extent of the injuries. 
There have been a series of attacks on schools and schoolchildren around China in recent years, some by people who have lost their jobs or felt left out of the country's economic boom.
The rash of violence has prompted public calls for more measures to protect the young in a country where many couples only have one child. 
In 2010, a man slashed 28 children, two teachers and a security guard in a kindergarten in eastern China.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Folks, this is yet another example that evil is on a rampage all over the world.
It is certainly not new, nor is it unique to the United States.

Folks, any reasonable thinking person knows that if a madman decides to kill, they'll use whatever tool they can lay hands on.
If not a gun, then a knife, or a ball bat, or a hammer. They'll use which ever tool they can do the most damage with.
If the Progressives succeed in disarmament of private law abiding citizens, the nutcases and criminals will still use guns, or course, and will resort to using whatever they have to to carry out their evil ways.

It's not about an inanimate object.
Any tool, be it a gun, knife, or hammer, none of them can kill unless wielded by a human hand controlled by a mind willing to commit the act.

Therein lies the problem.
