KERRY PLAYS KNOW-IT-ALL

Leave it to John Kerry to act like he knows better than concerned Israeli politicians do:

US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday it would be a huge mistake if Israel decided to take unilateral military action against Iran over its nuclear program in the future.

Kerry was asked in an NBC "Today" show interview if the nuclear deal reached last week between would make it more likely that Israel might attempt a military or cyber attack on Tehran.

"That'd be an enormous mistake, a huge mistake with grave consequences for Israel and for the region, and I don't think it's necessary," Kerry said.

I think it's a big mistake for Kerry to be panning Israel's government when there's danger boiling away in the dungeons of Iran's dictatorship. But this is typical of Kerry, to preach inaction, and then only ensure that danger and evil have more chance of being perpetrated.

ONCE AGAIN, OBAMA DISSES THE USA TO THE FOREIGN PRESS

OBAMA LOVES TO ATTACK THE USA.

THAT'S WHAT ALWAYS PRECEDES HIS APOLOGIES FOR US TO OUR BETTERS IN EUROPE.

THIS TIME, OBAMA RAN US DOWN TO THE BBC:

“The issue of guns, that is an area where if you ask me where has been the one area where I feel that I’ve been most frustrated and most stymied it is the fact that the United States of America is the one advanced nation on Earth in which we do not have sufficient common-sense, gun-safety laws,” he told the BBC.

MAYBE OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO BRING EUROPEAN ABORTION LAWS TO THE USA????

EVERY "ADVANCED" NATION IN EUROPE BANS IT AFTER 12 WEEKS!

NOT ONLY WAS OBAMA UNFIT FOR THE HIGH OFFICE HE HOLDS, HE IS UNSUITED FOR IT.

WE DESERVE A PATRIOT IN THE OVAL OFFICE, NOT A BLAME AMERICA FIRST LEFTIST.

WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT.

FACT: MOST GUN DEATHS IN THE USA ARE SUICIDES, BY A LARGE FACTOR.

FACT: MOST GUN HOMICIDES ARE BLACK-ON-BLACK AND REFLECT THE BREAKDOWN OF THE FAMILY IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY, AND DO NOT REFLECT ANYTHING AT ALL ON THE LEGAL GUN-OWNERS IN THE USA.

WASH POST:

The statistical difference is dramatic, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A white person is five times as likely to commit suicide with a gun as to be shot with a gun; for each African American who uses a gun to commit suicide, five are killed by other people with guns.

WHEN PRISON POPULATION IS CORRECTED FOR BROKEN HOMES, THEN WHITE AND BLACK PERCENTAGES ARE THE SAME; IN OTHER WORDS, THE BROKEN HOME IS THE SWAMP IN WHICH FELONS ARE BRED - AND THERE ARE TOO DAMN MANY BROKEN HOMES IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

EVEN SENATOR COREY BOOKER KNOWS THIS:

BOOKER SAID - WHEN HE WAS MAYOR OF THE CRIME-INFESTED CITY OF NEWARK: GUN CRIMES ARE NOT COMMITTED BY LEGAL GUN OWNERS.

AND CRIMINALS WON'T FOLLOW GUN LAWS.

REALLY: IT MAKE NO SENSE AT ALL TO PUNISH UNINVOLVED, DISINTERESTED GUN-OWNING THIRD PARTIES WHEN THUGS ELSEWHERE USE AN ILLEGAL GUN FOR A CRIME.

NO SENSE.

IT'S PARTISAN BS, NOT REALISTIC PUBLIC POLICY.

OBAMA IS NOT A PATRIOT.

OBAMA IS A POSTMODERN LEFTIST TRANSFORMING THE USA INTO A SOCIALIST NATION WHILE DESTROYING OUR HYPERPOWER STATUS.

IN EFFECT, TURNING US INTO ANOTHER VENEZUELA.

IOW: A TOTAL PIECE OF LEFTIST SHIT.

SCHUMER WILL DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF OBAMA'S IRANIAN DEAL

IF SCHUMER VOTES "NO", THEN SO WILL THE OTHER SENATORS ON THE FENCE IN THE NY REGION: GILLIBRAND AND BLUMENTHAL AND BOOKER.

(MENENDEZ IS ALREADY A NO VOTE.)

AND AS SENATE DEMOCRAT LEADER IN-WAITING, SCHUMER WILL CERTAINLY SWAY OTHER VOTES.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO HIM...

IT WILL BE A PROFILE IN COURAGE...

IS HE A HACK WITHOUT A SCINTILLA OF COURAGE OR MORALS?

WE SHALL SOON FIND OUT...

STAY TUNED...

THE ANTI-ISRAEL STAND OF THE UCC SHOWS WHY CHRISTIANITY IS LOSING ADHERENTS

Dexter Van Zile at the Weekly Standard wrote about the United Church of Christ's anti-Israelism:

Last month the general synod of the United Church of Christ approved a resolution calling on its members and local churches to boycott products made in the West Bank. The resolution also called on the denomination's local churches and the organizations that manage UCC-related investments to divest from companies that do business with Israel's defense establishment. The same body, meeting in Cleveland, almost approved a resolution declaring Israel to be an apartheid state. This resolution received a majority of votes at the general synod, but failed to get the two-thirds supermajority it needed to pass.

The general synod’s pronouncements will not promote peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Instead, they highlight the intellectual decline of a historically important denomination whose Congregationalist roots go back to arrival of European settlers in New England in the 1600s. For the people who attend local UCC churches, the actions of the general synod should be a wake-up call.

To put it bluntly, the so-called peace activists who rule the roost at the UCC's General Synod are obsessed with Israel, which tries to prevent civilian deaths when it fights its adversaries, and indifferent to the misdeeds of radical Islamists who murder civilians in an attempt to terrorize the world.

The evidence is all right there in the general synod minutes. Since 1967, the UCC's deliberative body has passed nearly 20 resolutions about the Arab-Israeli conflict, but has failed to offer up one word of criticism of the misdeeds of jihadists who have been murdering and kidnapping non-Muslims and women in the Middle East and North Africa since the Arab Spring.

Boko Haram and ISIS have simply not made it onto the general synod's radar. When the Jewish state uses force to defend itself, the UCC's general synod responds with condemnation, but when Arabs and Muslims do bad things to other Muslims, Christians, Yazidis, Bahais, the body has remained silent. And it’s not as if the general synod, which has promoted same-sex marriage and the rights of women, has spoken up on behalf of gay men who have been thrown from rooftops in Iraq or condemned ISIS-sponsored auction of women in sex-slave markets in that country. Any Christian body remotely concerned about human rights would confront these issues and yet the UCC’s general synod has remained silent in the face of these outrages.

The body even seeks to impose its silence about Islamist violence on other people and institutions. In 2011, the general synod passed a resolution condemning Islamophobia, which stated in part, that the mistreatment of Muslims in the U.S. contributed to Muslim violence against Christians in the Middle East. With this logic, people who criticize Islam become complicit in the murder of Christians in Muslim-majority countries.

How's that for moral inversion?

Absolutely awful. They take a victimology path that absolves Islamofascists of all guilt, yet turn their backs on pretty much all Christians in the middle east. And if they end up losing adherents because of that, they shouldn't be surprised.

ONLY 38 PERCENT APPROVE OF IRAN DEAL

The Weekly Standard gives word of a Pew poll that makes clear a majority disapproves of the faustian pact with Iran:

A recently released Pew poll finds that only 38% approve President Obama's deal with Iran. A plurality disapproves of the deal.

"More Americans disapprove than approve of the deal struck last week by the U.S., Iran and five other nations to limit Iran’s nuclear program: Among the 79% of Americans who have heard about the agreement, just 38% approve, while 48% disapprove (14% do not offer an opinion)," the Pew poll finds.

"There is widespread skepticism about aspects of the agreement, particularly the Iranian leadership’s commitment to the terms of the deal: Most of those familiar with the agreement say they have not too much (35%) or no confidence at all (38%) that Iran’s leaders will uphold their side of the agreement. And while there is greater confidence in the U.S. and international agencies’ ability to monitor Iran’s compliance, 54% are not too (33%) or not at all (21%) confident, while a smaller share (45%) express at least a fair amount of confidence in their ability.

"Views about the agreement’s effect on U.S.-Iranian relations also are split: Though a plurality (42%) of those who have heard about the deal say there will be little change, about as many think relations between the two nations will worsen (28%) as think they will improve (25%) as a result of the agreement."

I'd say it's a bit more who believe ties will get worse. This proves Obama's has no influence on the US public when it comes to issues like this, and they realize he screwed up badly by letting a dictatorship continue unfettered.

ARMY CHIEF ODIERNO - AGREEING WITH SEC DEF PANETTA: OBAMA LOST IRAQ

IN THIS THE CHIEF OF THE ARMY AGREES WITH PANETTA:

It's frustrating to watch it,” Odierno said. “I go back to the work we did in 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 and we got it to a place that was really good. Violence was low, the economy was growing, politics looked like it was heading in the right direction.”
Odierno said the fall of large parts of Iraq was not inevitable, reiterating concerns about the pace of the U.S. troop withdrawal there.“If we had stayed a little more engaged, I think maybe it might have been prevented,” he said. “I've always believed the United States played the role of honest broker between all the groups and when we pulled ourselves out, we lost that role.”In 2009, while still the top commander in Iraq, Odierno recommended keeping 30,000-35,000 U.S. troops after the end of 2011, when the U.S. was scheduled to pull out. The recommendation was not followed.“I think it would have been good for us to stay,” Odierno said, when asked if it was a mistake to pull out.

FORMER OBAMA SEC DEF PANETTA:

... former Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta suggests that President Obama failed to heed his advisers who wanted to leave troops in Iraq past December 2011, which may have contributed to the rise of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)."It was clear to me--and many others--that withdrawing all our forces would endanger the fragile stability then barely holding Iraq together," Panetta writes...

THE BIG MISTAKE OF THE LAST TEN YEARS WAS NOT FIGHTING AND DEFEATING SADDAM, OR THE SURGE.

THE BIG MISTAKE WAS OBAMA WITHDRAWING FROM A STABLE IRAQ AND HANDING IT OVER TO IRAN AND ISIS.

TENNESSEE JIHADIST'S UNCLE JAILED IN JORDAN

The uncle of the Chattanooga jihadist has been put in police custody in Jordan:

An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in attacks on Tennessee military sites has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attack, a lawyer said Tuesday.

Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee. Computers and cellphones were taken from the man's home, but he has not been charged with anything, the attorney said.

Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

A Jordanian government official said Tuesday that some of Abdulazeez's relatives in Jordan were being questioned as part of an investigation into his stay in the kingdom. He would not elaborate on the probe.

The official said he was sure the uncle and "other relevant people" are being questioned, but that he did not know whether he was in detention. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media.

Abdulazeez spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends his relatives considered a bad influence, according to a person close to his family. That person also spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern it would have business repercussions.

What? That part is laughable. He stays away from alcohol and drugs, but not the Koran? Then it's clear they never intended to reshape him into somebody better. It's about as effective as trying to get a standard western racist off of alcohol but not acts of violence and hooliganism against people of different ethnicities. If the ideological part isn't dealt with, then no wonder reformation is doomed to failure.

Instead of Hawaii, Obama should retire to.... CUBA!

I think he'll fit in better.....

Besides, we don't  have an extradition treaty with them yet....

SEATTLE MAYOR WILLING ALLY TO SHARIA FINANCE

Seattle's mayor is willing to help set up sharia financing for Muslims who want it:

For some Muslims, it can be hard to buy a house, and Mayor Ed Murray plans to do something about it.

On Monday, Murray's housing committee released its recommendations for ways the city can increase housing in the city. Most ideas were what you'd expect, including increasing the city's housing levy and implementing new rules and regulations to foster development of market-rate and lower-income housing.

One suggestion would help followers of Sharia law buy houses. That's virtually impossible now because Sharia law prohibits payment of interest on loans. The 28-member committee recommended the city convene lenders and community leaders to explore options for increasing access to Sharia-compliant loan products.

More and more lenders are offering Sharia-compliant financing, according to a USA Today report. The sector has grown to more than $1.6 trillion in assets worldwide over the past three decades, and analysts see potential for continued growth as the number of Muslims in the United States and Europe grows.

Truly awful. The worst part is how there's politicians out there who're willing to submit to the demands of these stealth conquestors, and in Seattle, it figures the overlord of a leftist regime is willing to be one of the first to do it. That kind of dhimmitude will only help damage economy in the end.

FORMER IRANIAN HOSTAGE PANS THE NEW FAUSTIAN PACT

Rick Kupke, who was once a political prisoner in Iran, has rightfully slammed the deal currently made with the dictatorship in Iran:

Well over 30 years after he was set free from being held hostage for 444 days by his Middle Eastern captors, Texan Rick Kupke is still saying the Iranian regime cannot be trusted.

In an interview with Texas’s Star Telegram, Kupke—who was the last of 52 American hostages to surrender to the Iranians back in 1979—slammed the nuclear deal which was recently agreed upon between Iran and the P5+1.

[...] “This is probably the worst agreement of this kind I’ve seen in my lifetime,” Kupke told the Telegram. “I don’t know why they think the Iranians are going to abide by any agreement. They never have,” he said, evoking history. He continued, “I think it’s going to trigger a nuclear arms race… because everyone in the area is going to want to stay even with the Iranians as they violate the agreement.”

No doubt, plenty of other Muslim regimes already do have nuclear research going on that we probably haven't heard about yet. It could even be going on in the smaller lands like Qatar and Brunei. And it's bound to end up being a serious horror.

UH OH UH OH UH OH WHOA: REUTERS: Gold hits 5 year low on Chinese selling

Gold hits five-year low under $1,100 on Chinese selling:

Gold prices plunged as much as 4 percent to their lowest in more than five years on Monday as sellers in top consumer China offloaded the metal. Investors have been finding less and less reason to hold gold as an insurance against risk, with the dollar strengthening ahead of what is expected to be the first increase in U.S. interest rates for nearly a decade. Spot gold XAU= fell $45.55 to its weakest since March 2010 at $1,088.05 an ounce shortly after the Shanghai Gold Exchange opened, with volumes soaring to a record.

CHINA IS SELLING BECAUSE CHINA NEEDS CURRENCY AND CHINA NEEDS CURRENCY BECAUSE THEIR STOCK MARKETS AND REAL ESTATE MARKETS ARE CRASHING WITHOUT CHINESE GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION.
WELL:

WHAT CANNOT GO ON FOREVER WON'T...

BETTER BRACE YOURSELVES...

UH OH: CASH ON HAND BY NATION'S MONEY MANAGERS THE HIGHEST SINCE THE LEHMAN DEBACLE

One of the surefire ways to measure a money manager’s comfort with the markets is to look at his or her cash levels. High cash levels are indicative of managers who have already sold and are very fearful.Low cash levels are indicative of managers who have already bought their fill and are very confident in the market’s future...... Bank of America Merrill Lynch surveyed 191 money managers with $510 billion in assets. The findings... [are] a clear signal:... Fear was the word in the latest survey. Cash levels jumped to 5.5 percent, the highest level since Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy and the financial crisis in 2008.

I SPOKE WITH AN INTERNATIONAL BANKER HIS EVENING, AND HE FELT GREECE, EUROPE, JAPAN, CHINA AND THE USA ALL HAD HUGE DEBT PROBLEMS THAT WERE NOT GOING TO GO AWAY.

I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM SO ANXIOUS.... NOT FOR THE NEAR-TERM, BUT FOR THE MID-TERM AND LONG-TERM.

WHAT CANNOT GO ON FOR EVER, WON'T. 

THE TIME TO GET READY FOR THE CRASH IS NOW.

THE GREEK CRISIS IS OVER ... because the EUSSR now has total control of Greece

Greece is no longer an independent nation or a democracy as it has lost control over its finances and economy and its destiny, which are all now under the control of the EUSSR and international banks.

THIS IS the endgame the transnational left seeks for all of Europe and they have the same goal in mind for the USA.

That's why the deficits and national debt don't worry them a bit.

NO MORE MUHAMMED CARTOONS FROM CHARLIE HEBDO?

If that's what the editor of the paper is saying in this report, that's very bad:

The editor of French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has said the magazine will no longer draw cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in an interview with a German magazine.

Laurent Sourisseau told Hamburg-based news magazine, Stern, that the magazine had done its job and what it had set out to fulfil.

The weekly magazine's editor, who is known as Riss, said: "We have drawn Mohammad to defend the principle that one can draw whatever they want. It is a bit strange though: we are expected to exercise a freedom of expression that no one dares to.

"We've done our job. We have defended the right to caricature."

He told the German magazine he did not want to believe the magazine was possessed by Islam but maintained that he believed that they had "the right to criticise all religions".

But will they continue in any form to criticize Islam? If not, then that's caving. They shouldn't have even said anything; that only makes it worse. This is not good news, and doesn't help the fight against Islamofascism.

WHAT OBAMA IS DOING TO ISRAEL IS WORSE THAN WHAT FDR DID TO THE JEWS DURING THE HOLOCAUST

FDR DENIED ENTRY TO JEWISH REFUGEES TRYING TO ESCAPE THE NAZIS.

AND FDR DECIDED AGAINST BOMBING THE RAILWAYS THAT WERE TAKING JEWS TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

FDR DIDN'T LIKE JEWS AND HE EASILY IGNORED THEIR PLIGHT AND KEPT HIS SIGHTS ON DEFEATING THE AXIS.

OBAMA HAS BEEN HOSTILE TO ISRAEL SINCE DAY ONE.

IT IS PART OF HIS POSTMODERN LEFTIST CORE - BEING AN ACOLYTE OF EDWARD SAID AND A PAL OF RASHID KHALID AND BILL AYERS AND A FOLLOWER OF REV WRIGHT, ALL VIRULENT ANTIZIONISTS.

OBAMA OVERTLY SUPPORTED THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT AND THE PLO'S EFFORT TO PUSH ISRAEL BACK INTO ITS 1967 BORDERS INCLUDING HALF OF JERUSALEM.

EACH EFFORT BROUGHT ISRAEL'S ENEMIES A STEP CLOSER TO BEING ABLE TO DELIVER A MORTAL BLOW AGAINST ISRAEL.

AND WHEREAS FDR FOUGHT THE AXIS WITH NO HOLDS BARRED, OBAMA HAS WEAKENED AND HAMPERED OUR ABILITY TO ERADICATE THE ENEMY.

BUT IT'S WORSE.

NOW OBAMA HAS CAPITULATED TO IRAN, ISRAEL'S MOST FORMIDABLE, EVEN EXISTENTIAL ENEMY.

BY GIVING IRAN A PATHWAY TO NUCLEAR BOMBS, AND $150 BILLION, OBAMA HAS GIVEN ISRAEL'S CHIEF ENEMY THE MEANS TO COMPLETELY ERADICATE IT, KILL ALL JEWS IN ISRAEL, A GOAL WHICH THEY PROCLAIM THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE EVERY WEEK WITH THEIR CHANTS, "DEATH TO ISRAEL!"

THIS IS LIKE PUTTING ISRAEL'S 6 MILLION JEWS ON CATTLE-CARS, AND SENDING THEM TO AUSCHWITZ.

WHEREAS FDR'S SINS WERE SINS OF OMISSION, BECAUSE HE FAILED TO DO WHAT HE COULD HAVE DONE, OBAMA HAS ACTIVELY ASSISTED ISRAEL'S MORTAL FOES.

SURELY THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE DESPICABLE OR EVIL PRESIDENT.

IF CONGRESS FAILS TO SHOW OBAMA THEY DISAGREE WITH HIS CAPITULATION TO IRAN, THEN THEY ARE COMPLICIT.

PELOSI ANNOUNCES PLAN-B, IN CASE VOTER-ID GOES NATIONAL: GIVE 16 YR OLDS THE VOTE

PELOSI: “I’m for -  ... - for lowering the voting age to high school age, whether it’s 16 or 17 or, because when kids are in school they’re so interested, they’re so engaged, and we would like them to be ready at least to register before they leave.

THE CRIMINAL RACKET KNOWN AS THE DEMOCRAT PARTY NEEDS VOTER FRAUD TO WIN.

VOTER ID THREATENS THEM.

THAT'S WHY SHE IS PROPOSING GIVING 16 YR OLDS THE VOTE: THE REPLENISH THEIR RANKS.

IRAN IS WINNING, AND NOW SOME UNRELATED NEWS FROM THE BBC

• Islamists kill five at Egypt's Sinai checkpoints
• Saudi king holds rare talks with Hamas leader Meshaal
• Algeria attack: Soldiers die in Islamist ambush
• Czechs feared kidnapped in Lebanon

IN FACT, ALL THESE ARE RELATED.

TO 2 THINGS:

ISLAM AND OBAMA'S CAPITULATION TO IRAN, WHICH SIGNALED TO THE ENEMY THAT THEY HAVE CARTE BLANCHE TO ATTACK AND USE ANY OF THEIR PRECIOUS ASSETS BECAUSE SOON IRAN WILL BE ABLE TO REPLENISH THEM.

(THE HOUSE OF SAUD IS TRYING ONE LAST TIME TO GET HAMAS TO ALLY WITH THEM INSTEAD OF IRAN.

UPDATE: THE CSM IS REPORTING THAT THE SAUDIS ARE STEPPING UP THEIR COUNTERATTACKS ON IRANIAN PROXIES NOW BEFORE THE IRANIANS GET THE $150BILLION)

GEN ODIERNO MUST RESIGN

In the wake of the jihadist terror attack on unarmed military recruiters at offices in civilian neighborhoods, US Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno said he did not think that American armed forces personnel should be allowed to bear arms for self defense:

"I think we have to be careful about over-arming ourselves, and I'm not talking about where you end up attacking each other," Gen. Ray Odierno, chief of staff of the Army, told reporters. Instead, he said, it's more about "accidental discharges and everything else that goes along with having weapons that are loaded that causes injuries."

 If his soldiers are not trained sufficently well to carry personal sidearms that millions of American civilians can safely carry, or if he thinks his soldiers are too stupid to be armed to defend themselves, then that is a withering indictment of the Army's entire training program, and everyone responsible, including the Chief of Staff, should be forced to resign immediately.

We are at war with an implacable, cruel, and unscrupulous enemy.  We had better adopt policies, principles, and rules of engagement that are appropriate to the tasks before us.

If not now, when?
