President Obama has canceled a meeting in Moscow next month with Russian President Vladimir Putin to protest that country’s decision to give former government contractor Edward Snowden temporary asylum.
“Following a careful review begun in July, we have reached the conclusion that there is not enough recent progress in our bilateral agenda with Russia to hold a U.S.-Russia summit in early September,” White House press secretary Jay [Baghdad] Carney said in a statement on Wednesday.
I call it, “No balls.”
The Kremlin said it was disappointed about the canceled meeting.
Putin aide Yuri Ushakov told the Russian Interfax News Agency that the decision showed that the United States was “not prepared for equal relations” with Russia.
Right now, the United States isn't prepared for equal relations with a tree frog.
*Snub -- Isn’t that what girls usually do? I’ve compared Bathhouse Barry to Putinbefore, but my mentor and the man who should have been (and should now be) Commandant of the Marine Corps -- the man who is an officer, a gentleman and all-around snappy dresser, Colonel (aka Mustang) -- sent me one that goes even further. I have to give credit where credit is due. This comes from TomatoBubble. I changed a little of it (okay... I changed a LOT of it) but the majority -- okay... some of it -- is from them.
I could leave it right there. I think Putin has made it simple enough that ‘any fourth grade student’ should be able to grasp what’s happening. But, then, we’re not talking about what fourth grade students can comprehend. What we are talking about is a group that has the I.Q. level below that of a fourth grade student -- Liberals and Democrats. When the two groups morph into Liberal Democrats, the I.Q. level then becomes (as my good friend, JonBerg, likes to refer to it) lower than whale shit. So, this is for you -- all you Liberals and Democrats/Liberal Democrats. I’ve condensed what was originally written by Benjamin Smith.* Mr. Smith 'gets it.' Mr. Smith is also young enough to be my son -- hell, he's probably young enough to be my grandson. As long as we have men and women like him, America is -- and will remain -- Number 1! I haven’t edited it for punctuation or grammatical errors. You can take that up with Mr. Smith; I’m sure he’d love to hear from you. Read the full articlehere.
Of Mice & Men -- The Rekindling Of The Cold War And The Demise Of America.
Our enemies are flexing their muscles. Yet our Administration does nothing.
Putin is proposing military bases in Cuba, Vietnam and Seychelles. He is openly challenging American sovereignty and world dominance. He seeks to reclaim our hard earned victories for his own. Recently there has been an uptick in Cold War style war games of brinksmanship between our militaries. And Vladimir Putin is playing for keeps.
Russian Heavy Nuclear Bombers have been testing American airspace over Alaska in war games that prepare their air force to take out our missile defense sites.
In addition, Russia had put almost 900 Billion dollars into the upfitting of its navy, established their only naval base outside the Mediterranean...in Syria. That base is now stocked with warships. And to complete the insult and thumb their noses at the US, Russia is supplying the Syrians with Attack helicopters and fighter jets. In addition, Russia’s collaboration with China during recent UN resolutions are a clear effort to instill onto the world scene the communist methodology of corruption, control, genocide and a authoritarian rule. So it should be no surprise that China’s Navy has also been putting new types of large aircraft carriers through sea trials in the Pacific.
Our enemies are flexing their muscles. Yet our Administration does nothing. When foreign enemy powers put military bases 90 miles off our coast, (in Cuba), as Russia intends; this should get every American’s attention. This is not good folks. Even if the base is to be small, it will grow as a cancer if it is not cut from the host in time. Yet the Obama Administration has remained quiet, as usual. It has become standard operating procedure for Obama to foster disrespect and discredit us to the world.
The Hackles of anyone who actually understood what the cold war really was, was should be screaming. We now are at the precipice of becoming the old Soviet Russia whose economy crumbled causing them to loose the Cold War miserably.
The Russian tactic of putting bases right on our door step is standard Cold War strategy that looks to get us up in arms and feel the need to activate our military. But this takes MONEY, money we do not have, thanks to the Obama Administration’s feckless free for all spending.
Under cold war strategy Putin could financially dictate the US having to spend huge sums of money to field a “show of force” through military brinksmanship, (Cuban Missile Crisis). Russia is an oil rich country, while America operates on limited purchased reserves. Therefore, it will cost us more to supply our military with the fuel necessary to mobilize. We will be forced to spend gargantuan amounts of money to meet the threat or the challenge of having RUSSIAN WAR SHIPS IN OUR HEMISPHERE...and this is classic cold war.
The Cold War wasn’t directly about bombs and guns (nobody really wants war, its horrible for all involved); it was about collapsing the opposing country by means other than war whether it be economic or the battle of ideology. And the time tested method of winning a Cold War, as Ronald Reagan proved, was to force the enemy to over reach, over spend, and eventually crumble. Barack Obama never learned this lesson. But apparently Vladimir Putin did.
At present, we would not be able to handle funding for our defenses not to mention physical war. We are a consumer economy not a production economy and have little to nothing in reserve to support ourselves. As a result, we would have to concede that Russia get a base 90 miles off shore or actually deploy our military to engage the enemy when the world is already on the edge of world war. Either way, we cannot afford it.
Putin said “Any fourth grade history student knows socialism has failed in every country, at every time in history. President Obama and his fellow Democrats are either idiots or deliberately trying to destroy their own economy.” Don’t be fooled into thinking Mr. Putin has America’s best interests in mind. The fact is that Putin is trying to re-stoke the Cold War. Putin sees America as ripe for the same fall as his Soviet Union took when the Berlin Wall came down; the Soviets were economically insolvent and had to give up the fight.
GETTING OLDER, and arguably WISER, some of us understand more how the world works and how the people running it operate. Today’s citizens need to understand that just because we don’t go to militaristic warfare and physical confrontation; WARS CAN BE WON without firing a shot - just look at the end of the cold war. We only defeated Communist Russia because their Government, (which was totalitarian and tyrannical in nature), lost the ability to fund themselves, their armies, their navies and the ability to control their populace.
As the Cold War Director of the KGB, President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin knows the tactics and strategies employed by the US and as well as the faults that brought his beloved USSR down. He was the head of the equivalent of our CIA and he was in charge of the enemies initiatives. We would be crazy to think that losing an ideological war does not stick with him. Putin has ultimate hate and animosity toward the United States simply because we are the United States. You know his roots as to Communism and control, how else do you think that he became the HEAD OF THE KGB during the COLD WAR? The man is a ruthless warrior and Politician who LEADS AS A MAN, as opposed to our own Obama who looks to BEG, BORROW and BOW away the sovereignty of the American people he abhors.
Putin didn’t get to be the head cheese of the KGB by helping little old ladies cross the street or teaching Sunday School classes. There are A LOT of people STILL serving out their time in Siberia... or under it, thanks to Mr. Putin.
Seeing the blunders of his country’s past, Putin now looks to weaken and defeat our country in the very same the way that we weakened and defeated the USSR. Putin is attempting to rekindle the cold war and signal that the old Soviet Power is still within him. Getting into the ideologies and politics of this issue is, for now, moot. The fact is there are enemy countries quickly growing ARMIES AND NAVIES that are looking to do us in by any means necessary. For now they have decided to keep the violence at bay...but to prepare for violence none the less. America is still great in power but we are weak financially. Our enemies see this and look to exploit our vulnerability so that we fall to our own stupidity and failure or worse yet we become weak enough to be physically defeated as well. This is about vengeance. This is about domination. This is about power and who can control it.
America and her citizens must wake to the fact that there is a threat to our country and our way of life. Just because war is not openly stated doesn’t mean that there are not countries that seek our demise. Right now our economy is extremely fragile and vulnerable to intrusion, sabotage, false flags and a massive show of force in the form of new enemy bases just 90 miles off our shore. What would that cost our ailing, overspent, corrupt government? Will our current Administration, which holds Marx, Alinsky and socialism in high regard, make the decisions based on American Exceptionalism as any good American would do?
At the rate we’re going, America will look like this before long.
Hope you’ve got enough food coupons. And be sure to wear your OFFICIAL “I Love Obama” tee shirt!
Putin may be antithetical to American ideals and evil, but to his credit PUTIN IS A MAN in every sense of the word and our current leader OBAMA IS A CHILD. Stripping the supposed elected positions from Putin and Obama I would ask you to envision the two of them in a room behind closed doors from a man to man perspective...... Nothing in Obama’s resume or life experiences would indicate that he would be able to communicate, contest or even make a substantive stand against Putin.
Obama has only been an organizer, a communist and then a politician. Obama has never had to live hard or AS A MAN. PUTIN makes a joke of OBAMA in the man category. PUTIN WAS THE DIRECTOR OF THE KGB! Putin’s intellect and street smarts would not only dust Obama the child; but the tough old Soviet would make Obama look like an insolent cur who needs to be disciplined. I would say that Putin would even make OBAMA his Lap Dog begging for scraps from Putin’s “table of tyranny.” Even if Obama wasn’t diametrically opposed to American Exceptionalism, the Constitution and what has made the US great; would he still be the guy you would send to face someone like Putin? MAN to MAN?
We have to take a look at our present status on the world stage and then compare it to our status and strength during the Cold War. Given our situation, I think we would not fair well, should the Cold War start again. Regardless of ideology we have to understand that there are people and countries that want to be in control of the world as we were over the past 20 years. That is a threat. Nature abhors a vacuum and if we do not define ourselves as a nation of strength and principles; our enemies will do the job for us. They will trample and stand upon the ashes of the very strength and principles we failed to defend. This is survival of the fittest. Barack Obama is no match for Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The real question here is WHO IS REPRESENTING AMERICA?
The real answer to the question, "WHO IS REPRESENTING AMERICA?" can be found in this great book that every American should read:
The following makes perfect sense to me and answers A LOT of the questions I’ve ALWAYS had. The article is a long read and at first I was only going to put in enough to pique the interest. I couldn’t find a place to start and stop. Here it is in its entirety -- links and all. In case I missed something, read the whole articlehere.
Film: President's Father NOT Barack Obama.
2 years of research, rare photos support compelling case
“Who’s your real Daddy?” is a question that remarkably continues to dog Barack Obama, even as he proceeds into his fourth year as president.
With the release this July of Joel Gilbert’s full-length documentary, “Dreams from My Real Father: A Story of Reds and Deception,” the mystery deepens regarding who Obama really is.
“The film provides the first cohesive understanding of Obama’s deep-rooted life journey in socialism, from his childhood to his presidency,” Gilbert told WND.
Gilbert rejects the official story that the Kenyan-born Barack Obama was the president’s father.
Instead, he argues, Frank Marshall Davis, the radical poet and journalist who was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, was the real, biological and ideological father of Barack Obama.
Note this paragraph:
“I decided to investigate Frank Marshall Davis. His close physical resemblance to Obama was shocking, while Obama little resembled the Kenyan Obama,” Gilbert said. “How could this be?”
Gilbert launched into what became two years of research during which he conducted interviews and discovered rare film footage and photos.
“I unearthed two film archives of Frank Marshall Davis, one from 1973, the other from 1987, as well as Davis’ photo collection,” he explained. “I then acquired 500 copies of the Honolulu Record, the communist-run newspaper where Davis wrote a weekly political column for eight years.”
Gilbert’s research turned shocking when he obtained seven indecent photos of Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, at Frank Marshall Davis’ house, suggesting an intimate connection between Dunham and Davis.
“I was not happy to include these racy photos in the film but found it necessary to substantiate the intimate relationship between the two,” he said. “Those photos ended up in a men’s mail-order catalog of nude women, likely sold to them by Davis. I placed black bars on parts of the photos to be respectful.”
Unlike Gilbert, I don't see any need to be 'respectful' to Obimbo, his mother (dead or alive) or any of his other Communist/Socialists/Marxists patty-cake pals and family. HERE YA GO:
To establish the foundation for the photos, Gilbert documented that Davis was one of the founders of a photography club in Chicago, known as the “Lens Camera Club,” and that he specialized in nude photographs.
See the trailer for “Dreams from My Real Father”:
Later in life, Davis also penned a scurrilous, autobiographical sex novel, titled “Sex Rebel: Black,” in which he detailed an illicit sexual relationship with an underage woman named “Anne.” Gilbert believes the name was a thin disguise for Obama’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham.
Gilbert reconstructs Obama’s autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” and concludes that the tale of the goat-herding father from Kenya is a cover story, concocted to mask an inconvenient pregnancy.
The truth, Gilbert argues, is that Barack Obama II was born from the illicit sexual relationship that rebellious teenager Ann Dunham began with Davis after her parents forced her to move to Hawaii.
Gilbert believes that when Dunham first arrived in Hawaii after graduating from high school, she used the sexual relationship with Davis to act out her frustration that her parents would not permit her to fulfill her wish to attend the University of Washington in Seattle with her Mercer Island High School friends.
In 2010, Gilbert wrote and directed a film titled “Atomic Jihad: Ahmadinejad’s Coming War and Obama’s Politics of Defeat.” “Dreams from My Real Father” will be released this summer, with screenings in theaters across the country currently in the planning process.
COMMUNIST ROOTS
The FBI had Davis under surveillance for 19 years, monitoring his support of the Communist Party both in Chicago and in Hawaii.
Gilbert portrays Obama as a “Red Diaper Baby,” a phenomenon among the radical left, referred to as “hand-me-down Marxism,” in which children of radical parents grow up to be radicals. Such was the case with much of the leadership of Students for a Democratic Society and the Weather Underground, including Obama senior political adviser David Axelrod, who was born to a mother who wrote for a communist newspaper in New York City.
“Obama sold himself to America as the multi-cultural ideal, a man who stood above politics. His father was a goat herder from Kenya, he would bring people together, so it went,” Gilbert explained. “While voters will overlook some fudging by politicians, promoting a false family background to hide an agenda irreconcilable with American values is a totally unacceptable manipulation of the electorate.”
What Gilbert presents is a direct challenge to the official narrative, arguing it is more likely President Obama has a deeply disturbing family background and a hidden Marxist agenda.
“Unfortunately, Obama’s style is to minimize, misdirect, and outright lie about damaging information about his past,” Gilbert said. “I hope the media will now demand that he come clean about his family background, his political foundations and fully reveal his agenda for transforming America.”
In writing his autobiography, Obama masked his relationship with Davis, naming him only as “Frank,” a friend of his grandfather who “lived in a dilapidated house in a run-down section of Waikiki.”
Gerald Horne, a contributing editor to “Public Affairs,” an openly Marxist political review, made the first positive identification of “Frank” as Frank Marshall Davis.
In March 2007, Horne gave a speech at New York University on the occasion of the Communist Party USA archive being placed at an NYU library.
In that speech, Horne discussed Davis, noting that Davis, who was born in Kansas and lived much of his adult life in Chicago, had moved to Honolulu in 1948 at the suggestion of his good friend, actor Paul Robeson. In the 1940s, Robeson was an outspoken critic of segregation and racial discrimination in the U.S., a strong advocate of the Soviet Union and a member of the Communist Party USA.
Horne also documented Davis’s friendship with the Dunham family in Hawaii.
“Eventually, [Davis] befriended another family -- a Euro-American family -- that had migrated to Honolulu from Kansas, and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who, retracing the steps of Davis, eventually decamped to Chicago.”
Horne further stated Davis was “a decisive influence in helping [Obama] to find his present identity as an African-American, a people who have been the least anti-communist and the most left-leaning of any constituency in this nation.”
After Horne’s speech, the identity of “Frank” was never in doubt, nor his importance in the development of the young Barack Obama.
On Dec. 5, 1956, Davis appeared in executive session before the U.S. Senate Subcommittee investigating “the scope of Soviet activity in the United States,” one of the McCarthy-era panels seeking to expose communists considered to be a security threat.
Invoking his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination, Davis refused to answer a direct question asking if he was then a communist.
A year earlier, in 1955, a Commission on Subversive Activities organized by the government of the Territory of Hawaii identified Davis as a member of the Communist Party USA. The committee singled out for criticism several articles Davis published in the “Communist Honolulu Record” that were critical of the commission.
MAY 19TH COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION
Gilbert documents Obama’s association at Columbia University with what was known as the May 19th Communist Organization, an above-ground support group for the Weather Underground based in New York City from 1978 to 1985.
“May 19th” carried out raucous anti-Apartheid and anti-Klan protests and operated a host of front organizations.
At the time, Weather Underground co-founder William Ayers -- Obama’s Chicago neighbor and colleague in education reform -- wrote that May 19th provided “a sea for the guerrillas to swim in.”
Some May 19th members committed acts of violence and terrorism, such as the 1981 Nanuet Brinks robbery and murders, the bombing of South African offices in 1981 and the U.S. Capitol bombing in 1983.
“I spoke with a former FBI informant who told me the May 19th Communist Organization had a weapons training camp in the Catskill Mountains, run by former Black Panthers,” Gilbert told WND. “In addition, some May 19th members were sent to Cuba for several weeks each year with the Venceremos Brigade, a continuation of the SDS/Weather Underground program begun in the ’60s, for explosives training from Cuban intelligence, DGI.”
Obama’s election was not a sudden political phenomenon, Gilbert maintains.
“It was the culmination of an American socialist movement that Frank Marshall Davis nurtured in Chicago and Hawaii and has been quietly infiltrating the U.S. economy, universities and media for decades,” he explained. “To understand Obama’s plans for America, look no further than communist Frank Marshall Davis.”
Until someone can come up with proof-positive that none of this is true, it's good enough for me!
Yep! A crawl just popped up on my computer announcing Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir's ascension to president. So, now, his placeholder for the past four years can go back to the salt mines from whence he came. And, like, I wouldn't have bet the farm that the (rigged?) voting would have been any different?
Let's keep this in mind:
Vladimir Putin spent 17 years with the Soviet KGB. He didn’t get to where he is today by helping little old ladies across the street. On Putin’s watch, during his KGB days and after, a LOT of people are spending their time in Siberia (if they’re lucky) or have come up dead or missing. Communism in Russia may be history; but the gosbezopasnost (the Kremlin’s political police) has taken over the Kremlin itself, and a gang of over 6,000 former KGB officers are now running the country. I guess you know what that means. During a press interview with President Putin, a reporter referred to his career as an ex KGB agent, Putin laughed and said there is no such a thing as an ex KGB, “Once KGB always KGB.” (Something about that quote rings a bell with me.) There are a WHOLE LOT of ‘Vladimir Putins’ out there. I just use him as an example because there are others that come from different races, different cultures and different countries and they all have one objective in mind -- bootheels on the neck of America. This is life, folks, and only the strong survive. Or, only the strong survive along with the well-heeled... as long as the money holds out. The ONLY thing that I’ve known that ever insured peace was having superior fire-power. Look at the pictures and compare the men (well, at least one of them is a man) and tell me which one is going to win in a hand-to-hand combat situation. Look at the pictures and compare them as if they were America and some other foreign power(s).
The pictures become not so humorous, but scary, huh? It's "our gay... uhh, guy" that's determined to dismantle our nuclear arms and it's "their guy" that's JUST AS DETERMINED to build up THEIR nuclear arms. Look at the pictures and compare them again. Sleep well tonight, America -- Israel is about the only one that has our back.
The Iranians have an American drone they say they shot down. If it was shot down, how come the hell it’s not spread all over the desert? How did it just MAGICALLY land in the desert in one piece and how was it that we just “lost control of it?”
With early knowledge that the aircraft had likely remained intact, the senior U.S. official also told Fox News that President Obama was presented with three separate options for retrieving or destroying the drone. The president ultimately decided not to proceed with any of the plans because it could have been seen as an act of war, the official told Fox News.
One official told Fox News on Thursday that the incident is a huge loss and makes the top-secret helicopter tail lost during the Usama bin Laden raid in Pakistan “look like a pittance.” The official said there are real fears the Iranians will share this technology with the Russians and the Chinese, in addition to using it themselves.
“... there are real fears the Iranians will share this technology with the Russians and the Chinese ...” Riiiight. The Iranians GET their technology FROM the Russians and Chinese! Then, Obimbo opts out of EVERYTHING because he’s afraid that the strike would be seen as an “act of war?” Yeah, well, I think Obimbo “gave” the drone to them -- that way he could act like he has this great love for his country but the whole time he’s openly and actually undermining it. My guess would be that they jammed its radio controls and stole it in THEIR OWN ACT OF WAR. What’s your guess?
