RECEP ERDOGAN BLAMES THE OUTSIDE WORLD FOR HIS CORRUPTION SCANDALS

The Turkish overlord goes cavorting around again, looking for nickel-and-dime excuses for corruption in his government:
The political crisis shaking Turkey spilled over into the country’s ties with the rest of the world on Saturday, as Recep Tayyip Erdogan blamed outside forces for the country’s worst corruption scandal for years and appeared to threaten the US ambassador.

Speaking at a rally at the Black Sea town of Samsun, the prime minister attributed the investigation into the scandal – which involves allegations of millions of dollars of bribes, smuggling, the fixing of tenders and illegal construction – to a plot “with international dimensions” against his government.
Oh, do tell us about it. To be sure, it's nothing of the sort, but even if it were, he'd be asking for it with his track record of bigotry against infidels.

Any hostility he may have voiced against the American ambassador in Turkey should be cause for concern too, and just shows that even a leftist government in the USA won't make him cooperative.
Turkey’s relations with the US hit a peak in 2009, when President Barack Obama praised the “model partnership” between the two countries.

But ties have become tense with differences over Egypt, where Mr Erdogan called for the West to denounce the coup against former President Mohamed Morsi, Syria, where the Turkish prime minister wanted a Kosovo-style campaign against President Bashar al-Assad and Washington’s concerns about the Turkish government’s crackdown on mass protests.
I suppose the reason he's against Assad is because the Syrian overlord isn't Islamist enough for his tastes.
“I presume this will work with Erdogan’s core constituency,” said Steven Cook of the Council on Foreign Relations of the prime minister’s latest remarks. “There’s a reservoir of anti Americanism in Turkey and this is going back to the well.” He added, however, that despite frustration with Mr Erdogan Washington still sought co-operation with Turkey because of the country’s strategic importance.
Too bad. They could save themselves a lot of money and other hassles by not wasting their time maintaining ties with such an awful politician. And honestly, what importance does Turkey really have at this point anyway?

THIS IS WHAT FASCISM SOUNDS LIKE

PIERS MORGAN:

Piers Morgan @piersmorgan
Just as the 2nd Amendment shouldn't protect assault rifle devotees, so the 1st Amendment shouldn't protect vile bigots.  
FASCISTS LIKE PIERS MORGAN BELIEVE ONLY PEOPLE THEY LIKE DESERVE THEIR INNATE AND UNALIENABLE RIGHTS.

AS IF "FREE SPEECH" ONLY APPLIED TO SPEECH YOU LIKED.

THE CODIFIED PROTECTION OF SPEECH IS IMPORTANT PRECISELY TO PROTECT SPEECH SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE - AND WANT SQUELCHED.

WHAT'S INSANE ABOUT THIS IS THAT PIERS MORGAN IS NOMINALLY A MEMBER OF THE PRESS AND SO YOU WOULD THINK HE'D SUPPORT FREE SPEECH.

BUT HE IS MORE WEDDED TO LEFTISM THAN HE IS TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT, OR THE SECOND - OR ANY AMENDMENT OR HUMANS RIGHTS THEMSELVES.

THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THE MEDIA IS SO DANGEROUS NOW, AND WHY THE MEDIA HAS MORPHED INTO WHAT IS ESSENTIALLY A STATE-RUN MEDIA.

IF WE WANT TO PRESERVE LIBERTY, THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO END THE STRANGLEHOLD THE LEFT HAS ON THE MEDIA.


PIGS FLY: NYTIMES REPORTING OBAMACARE SCREWS THE MIDDLE CLASS!

FRONT PAGE / NYTIMES:  
"New Health Law Frustrates Many in Middle Class 
Many Americans who don't quality for health care subsidies are facing steep premium prices."
OBAMACARE HAS DONE MORE HARM TO MORE AMERICANS THAN ANYTHING IN HISTORY EXCEPT FOR ACTS OF WAR.

WE'RE IN THE VERY BEST OF HANDS?

MEN VERSUS BOYS



ALPHA MALES VERSUS BETA MALES.



WILL REGGIE FLY TO HAWAII?


I THINK SOMEONE IN THE PRESS OUGHT TO ASK OBAMA HOW HE FEELS ABOUT MSNBC'S ENDORSEMENT OF GAY ANAL INTERCOURSE.

"MR. PRESIDENT, DO YOU LIKE TO GIVE IT OR GET IT?"


OBAMA CHECKS IN WITH HIS BOSS


IT'S GETTING NASTY OUT THERE....


THERE'S ONLY ONE REASON WHY THE NSA SNOOPS ON EVERYONE: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

IF THE NSA AND CIA AND FBI WEREN'T HOBBLED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, THEN THEY COULD FOCUS ON THE ENEMY AND LEAVE THE REST OF US ALONE.

INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON ISLAMISTS AND MUSLIMS FROM WELL KNOWN ISLAMIST STRONGHOLDS OR WHO HAVE VISITED KNOWN ISLAMIST MOSQUES, THEY SNOOP ON EVERYONE.

THIS HURTS EVERYONE BECAUSE IT REDUCES EVERYONE'S PRIVACY AND BECAUSE AS A RESULT OF SNOOPING ON EVERYONE THEY GET TOO DAMN MUCH INFO.

IF THEY FOCUSED ON THE ENEMY, THEN THEY'D END UP WTH MORE ACTIONABLE INTEL AND THEY WOULDN'T BE VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF INNOCENT AMERICANS.

REPEAT: POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS THE REASON WE HAVE LESS PRIVACY AND AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S THE REASON WE ARE LESS SAFE.

IF WE WANT TO DEFEAT THE ENEMY AND REMAIN FREE, THEN WE HAVE TO DEFEAT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

PC IS AN ALLY OF THE ISLAMISTS AND THE ENEMY OF LIBERTY.


Isaiah 5:20: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!"

Isaiah 5:20 -

"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!"


AND THEN THERE ARE THESE LIES DURING THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ROMNEY - LIES THAT GOT HIM RE-ELECTED:

NEVER BEFORE HAS A PRESIDENT LIED SO BLATANTLY, SO FREQUENTLY OR WITH SUCH HORRIBLE RESULTS.
LIES ARE NOT CAUSED BY INEPTNESS.

DECEIT IS NOT THE RESULT OF INCOMPETENCE.

FALSEHOODS DO NOT ARISE SPONTANEOUSLY.

OBAMA IS A LIAR, WRAPPED IN A DECEIVER, INSIDE A PERJURER.

HMMM: IN THE FINAL WEEK OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPING, THE STATE-RUN MEDIA IS SPINNING THE ECONOMIC NEWS AND TELLING US THE ECONOMY IS DOING JUST GREAT

THEY FAILED TO ADEQUATELY REPORT THE SURGE IN UNEMPLOYMENT, OR THE SLOWDOWN IN SALES OF HOMES, OR THE SUDDEN SURGE IN INVENTORIES, OR THE WEAK BRICKS'N MORTARS RETAIL SALES, OR THE SLOWDOWN IN CONSUMER SPENDING.

BUT THEY SPIN EVERYTHING AS IF THE ECONOMY WAS HUNKY-DORY:
Revision Shows U.S. Growing at Fastest Rate Since 2011
The Commerce Department on Friday revised up its estimate of 3.6 percent to 4.1 percent, saying business spending was stronger than it originally thought.
WHERE AND WHY AND HOW HAS THE INCREASE TAKE PLACE?

ZERO HEDGE GETS TO THE BOTTOM OF THE MATTER:
Earlier today, the Bureau of Economic Analysis surprised everyone by announcing a final Q3 GDP growth of 4.1% compared to 3.6% in the first revision (and 2.8% originally), driven almost entirely by the bounce in Personal Consumption which rose 2.0% compared to estimates of 1.4%.  
As a result many are wondering just where this "revised" consumption came from. The answer is below: of the $15 billion revised increase in annualized spending, 60% was for healthcare, and another 27% was due to purchases of gasoline. The third largest upward revision: recreation services. On the flip side, the biggest revision detractors: transportation services and housing and utilities.

In other words, the BEA thought long and hard what it could revise and decided on the following: in Q3 the US economy was revised to the strongest since 2011 because Americans, it would appear, were gassing up more to visit (and pay) their doctor, and then going to the movies.

IT'S A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH PEOPLE WILL FEEL LIKE SPENDING MORE MONEY.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL WORK.

BURIED IN THE ABOVE/LINKED-TO ARTICLE:
Economists expect growth to slow in the fourth quarter, in part because some of the upswing has resulted from businesses building up their inventories.
SOME?!?! BS. NEARLY ALL: BBC: But the upward revision was mainly driven by a big jump in businesses restocking their inventories, the Commerce Department said...

PEOPLE KNOW THEIR OWN ECONOMIC SITUATION IS REAL NO MATTER WHAT THEY ARE BEING TOLD ABOUT THE GENERAL ECONOMY.

PEOPLE KNOW THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION SUCKS - NO MATTER WHAT THE DOL/BLS TELLS THE STATE-RUN MEDIA AND NO MATTER HOW LITTLE BAD NEWS THE STATE-RUN MEDIA TELLS THEM.

LIKE THE FACT THAT THE NYTIMES AND THE REST OF THE STATE-RUN MEDIA STILL HASN'T RUN AN AP NEWS-ITEM FROM YESTERDAY ABOUT THE SURGE IN UNEMPLOYMENT.

WHEN THE RETAIL NUMBERS ARE REPORTED IN JANUARY, WE WILL FIND OUT IF 2014 WILL BRING US ANOTHER CONTRACTION OR NOT.

I THINK WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER RECESSION AND THAT OBAMACARE WILL MAKE IT WORSE.



THE LEFT'S ANTI-ZIONISM

Caroline Glick wrote about the beliefs embraced by leftists, such as anti-war sentiments, which lately includes hostility to Zionism, and how sensible people could/should deal with it.

SWEDISH PARLIAMENT TAKES DOWN NUDE JUNO PICTURE TO AVOID OFFENDING BOTH MUSLIMS AND FEMINISTS

I don't know about the feminists, but when it's the Religion of Peace they decide to appease, you know something's wrong:
A nude painting named Juno, which was painted by baroque artist G E Schröder and has hung in the dining room of the Swedish Parliament for 30 years has been taken down for fear of offending the sensitivities of feminists and Muslim visitors, Swedish newspaper, The Local reported on Thursday.

Explaining the ban on the baroque breasts, a source from the parliament said: "You have to think of the foreign guests, especially those from Muslim countries."
Yeah, you just simply have to. Again Sweden has made a joke out of itself in their pointless quest for political relevancy.

THE STATE-RUN MEDIA DO NOT REPORT NEWS THAT HURTS OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES.

THEY ARE NOT NEWS AGENCIES; THEY ARE MERELY A PART OF THE POSTMODERN LEFTIST MACHINE.

AS PART OF THE MACHINE, THEIR TRUE PURPOSE IS NOT AN INFORMED ELECTORATE, BUT A BRAINWASHED ELECTORATE.

AND IT'S WORKING.

I LIVE AND WORK IN NYC, AND NOT A SINGLE LIBERAL ACQUAINTANCE I KNOW HAD HEARD ABOUT ANY UNEMPLOYMENT NUMBER, LET A LONE A BAD ONE.

YET THEY ALL THINK THEY ARE WELL-INFORMED.

THEY ARE NOT WELL-INFORMED.

THEY ARE BRAINWASHED DUPES.

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THE LEFT CAN GAIN AND HOLD ON TO POWER - THE POWER THEY NEED TO INFLICT THEIR DYSTOPIAN TYRANNY UPON US ALL.

IT IS PART-AND-PARCEL WITH HARRY REID'S ANTICS IN THE US SENATE - HAVING "GONE NUCLEAR" AND DONE AWAY WITH THE FILIBUSTER ON NOMINATIONS IN ORDER TO ADVANCE THEIR LEFTIST AGENDA.

THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO ADVANCE THEIR AGENDA:
  • USE THE IRS TO HARASS THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS. 
  • REWRITE THE LAWS BY EXECUTIVE FIAT. 
  • LIE TO CONGRESS. 
  • INSTRUCT US ATTORNEY'S NOT TO ENFORCE THE LAW. 
  • LIE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OVER AND OVER ABOUT KEEPING THEIR INSURANCE. 
OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE LAWLESS FASCISTS.

WE MUST END THEIR REIGN OF TYRANNY ASAP.

IT'S 2014, OR NEVER.



BJ CLINTON ARGUES WE NEED AMNESTY TO KEEP OUR POPULATION GROWING...

CNS VIA WZ:
Former President Bill Clinton says if U.S. lawmakers realized the economic impact of having the country’s population growth coming to a halt, it would energize immigration reform, “because it’s the only way to keep our country growing.” Clinton made the comments while discussing immigration reform earlier this month on the America with Jorge Ramos program. “I think that we're trying to pass immigration reform. The country needs it. If – I wish that all these members of Congress who oppose immigration reform, and who feel threatened by it, had been with me on my recent trip to Asia,” Clinton said.
“And they – and Japan and China where they're worried about the population growth just coming to a halt. And what it's going to do to them economically,” Clinton continued. “And I think it would give a lot more energy to immigration reform in America. The – we're going to have to do it, because it's the only way to keep our country growing. And the sooner we do it, the better.”
THIS IS TAUTOLOGICAL BULLSHIT.

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TAKING AWAY JOBS AND DRIVING WAGES DOWN, THEN WAGES WOULD BE HIGHER AND MARRIED COUPLES WOULD HAVE MORE KIDS BECAUSE THEY COULD AFFORD TO HAVE MORE KIDS.

BY ACCEPTING THE 11 MILLION ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HERE, THE LEFT HAS LOWERED OUR WAGES AND OUR BIRTH RATES.

ONE REASON THE LEFT FAVORS LOWE WAGES AND AN INFLUX OF NON-WESTERN IMMIGRANTS IS THAT THE LEFT WANTS TO TURN THE USA FROM "THE EXCEPTIONAL NATION" AND "THE INDISPENSABLE NATION" - ( AT LEAST TO THE FREE WORLD!) - INTO A THIRD WORLD NATION.

WE NEED TO STOP THIS AND WE NEED TO STOP IT ASAP.

IT'S 2014, OR NEVER.


FALK SHOULD BE FIRED, BUT WE CAN'T BE OPTIMISTIC IT'LL HAPPEN

Elliot Abrams has written about why the UN HRC member Richard Falk should be thrown out of that already corrupt organization:
The special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories of the United Nations Human Rights Council is an extremist named Richard Falk. Falk is an embarrassment to the council and the U.N. whose only activity is to use violent and extreme language to denounce Israel -- most recently for "a criminal intention that is genocidal."

Canada has denounced Falk for these remarks and Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird said this: "Canada completely rejects and condemns the appalling remarks made by Richard Falk, United Nations special rapporteur to the Palestinian territories, in which he accused Israel of 'genocidal' intentions.

"Canada has previously called for Falk to be fired for his numerous outrageous and anti-Semitic statements, and these comments underscore once more the complete and total absurdity of his service as a U.N. special rapporteur.

"I call on the United Nations Human Rights Council -- once again -- to remove Falk from his position immediately.

"Not only do these comments undermine the fundamental values of the United Nations, they also belittle the terrible genocides that have tragically taken place throughout history and around the world."
Baird's comments are commendable, but unlikely to do much good. The UN is still bound to keep Falk - who's also a 9-11 truther - in place, probably for life. The UN has long been otherwise useless, and proved that in the long run.

IDF KILLS 2 JIHADISTS IN JENIN

Some success in dealing with local jihadists in Jenin:
Two Palestinians were killed in Israeli military operations in Judea and Samaria overnight.

In the first incident, Israeli troops were fired upon during an arrest operation in the Jenin refugee camp on Wednesday night. The troops returned fire, killing one Palestinian.

The incident began around 10 p.m. on Wednesday night when Israeli counter-terror forces entered the Jenin refugee camp to arrest an Islamic Jihad operative who had planned attacks on transportation arteries in Judea and Samaria. A disturbance broke out and Palestinians opened fire on the Israeli soldiers. The soldiers then responded with return fire, wounding several Palestinians.

In addition to gunfire, the soldiers were also attacked with improvised explosive devices, an Israeli military spokesperson said.

The wanted Islamic Jihad operative was not captured in the operation. No Israeli soldiers were wounded.

Two of the wounded Palestinians were transported to Haemek Medical Center in Afula. One died of his wounds en route to the hospital.
And he can now appear before the highest court.

EVERY VERSION OF ISLAM IS BAD

The UK Spectator wrote about the trial of the two jihadists who murdered Lee Rigby in Woolwich. But while they do have some good points to raise, it becomes problematic when the writer says that:
...the murder of Drummer Rigby had everything to do with Islam: a nasty, bigoted, backward version of Islam to be sure, but a version of Islam nonetheless.
That's basically implying that "true" Islam isn't backwards, when in fact it is, and the two savages proved it themselves when they quoted from the Koran during the trial. But, this head-in-the-sand act is something we've come to expect from most mainstream news companies.

The jihadists deserve to get a death penalty, but this being a European country, I doubt they'll ever get what they really need to be given.

THE 10 TRUTHS MAINSTREAM COMICS AVOID ABOUT ISLAM

Cartoonist Bosch Fawstin writes on Pajamas Media about ten truths mainstream comic publishers refuse to acknowledge about Islam, which he used to adhere to himself before he woke up and understood what it was really like.

WHAT IF THE SHOE WERE ON THE OTHER FOOT?

Mr. Phil Robertson has been "suspended" from the "Duck Dynasty" television program that he created, because his "personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely." What exactly did he say to the GQ interviewers?
It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying?
What if the shoe were on the other foot? What if Ian McKellen, George Takei, or any other openly gay media star had said the opposite:
It seems like, to me, a man's anus—as a man—would be more desirable than a vagina. That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! He’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying?
Would there have been any repercussions? Wouldn't every pundit and commentator in the mainstream media have applauded his courage, and noted that he was merely expressing his own preferences and desires, which should be fully respected and valued as much as anybody's? Mr. Robertson situated his own preference in the framework of his belief in Christianity and the teachings of the Bible. That also offended the mainstream media.

 Now if he had quoted from the Noble Holy Qu'ran of course, whose adherents hang homosexuals in the streets of Teheran, that would have been just fine . . . to contradict him would have been Islamophobia . . . .

BREAKING NEWS: OBAMA HAS DISSOLVED CONGRESS!

BREAKING NEWS: OBAMA HAS DISSOLVED CONGRESS

In a de facto sense this is simply true.
  • The chief powers of Congress are the power of the purse and the power of oversight.
  • Congress no longer has either.
  • Congress doesn't even pass a budget anymore - (and we seem to be stuck spending 35% more now than in 2008 even though neither our nation's population or our economy has grown by 35% and we can't afford to spend this much each year and go into this much more debt each year).
  • And - because Congress allows Obama's executive branch members to lie with impunity when appearing for testimony - Congress no longer has any real oversight.
  • In addition, the president now picks and chooses which laws he wants to enforce and even rewrites them by executive fiat.
  • And all the while the NSA, and CIA and FBI spy on us.
WE NO LONGER LIVE IN A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY.

WE LIVE IN A FASCIST STATE.

I agree with Rand Paul, Clapper's perjury to Congress is a more serious crime than Snowden's treachery and treason.


THE FED IS STILL PUMPING

It appears the markets and most economists welcome the fact that the FED is reducing QE3 from $85 billion per month to $75 billion. It is good news, and long overdue. 

Had the elected leaders of the world been more responsible it could have happened sooner.   BUT let's not forget the fact that $75B/month is still almost a trillion $ per year

I would be surprised if QE will be entirely off the table in less than 6 months to a year. Is the economy really that strong? or is this move really a PR stunt on by the FED?  Remember, this is more like the Captain of a  ship who just told the passengers that things are improving - we are only pumping 75000 gallons instead of 85000 gallons to stay afloat...

DON'T BELIEVE THE SPIN-MEISTERS: THE ECONOMY IS NOT DOING WELL

THE BBC SPITS OUT THE STATE-RUN MEDIA'S SPIN IN THE HEADLINE: US economy grows faster than thought
The US economy grew at an annual pace of 3.6% in the third quarter of the year, up from an initial estimate of 2.8%, revised figures have shown.
The growth rate was the fastest since the first quarter of 2012.
EVERYTHING IS GETTING BETTER, RIGHT?

WRONG! 

THEY BURY THE REAL TRUTH WAY DOWN IN THE ARTICLE: 
But the upward revision was mainly driven by a big jump in businesses restocking their inventories, the Commerce Department said....
The pace of growth in consumer spending - which accounts for about two-thirds of US economic activity - slowed from the previous quarter.
Consumer spending grew at a revised annual pace of 1.4%, down from 1.8% in the April-to-June period and the slowest rate since late 2009.


THE GLOBAL  ECONOMY IS HEADED FOR A MAJOR CORRECTION NEXT YEAR - IT'S ALL BAKED IN THE CAKE:
  • ENERGY IS STILL VERY EXPENSIVE.
  • THE US CONSUMER WILL HAVE EVEN LESS DISPOSABLE INCOME DUE TO OBAMACARE.
  • EUROPE IS BACK IN RECESSION.
  • WHEN CHRISTMAS RETAIL NUMBERS COME IN - AND IF THEY ARE AS BAD AS I THINK THEY WILL BE... 
  • AND WHEN INSURANCE COMPANIES ANNOUNCE NEW RATES DUE TO THE COLOSSAL OBAMACARE DISASTER.... 
WELL, THAT WILL TRIGGER A CORRECTION AND A STAMPEDE FOR THE EXITS.

BETTER BRACE YOURSELF NOW.

UPDATE: VIA HOT AIR:
HOT AIR: In October, the level of new claims went below the 300K barrier, at least momentarily.  Today, however, it’s back up to 379,000, about where it was eight months ago:
In the week ending December 14, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 379,000, an increase of 10,000 from the previous week’s figure of 369,000. The 4-week moving average was 343,500, an increase of 13,250 from the previous week’s revised average of 330,250.

WE ARE HEADED FOR A RECKONING AND IT AIN'T GONNA BE PRETTY.

SORRY MR. PODESTA, OBAMA IS MORE LIKE THE REV. JIM JONES THAN ANYONE ELSE IN ALL USA POLITICS...

... AND OBAMA'S FOLLOWERS HAVE LONG BEEN CALLED "KOOL-AID DRINKERS" FOR JUST THAT VERY SAME REASON.



WE'VE MADE THAT EXACT COMPARISON MANY TIMES HERE AT TAB.

MORE HERE AT POWER LINE.
