re: TOP GEN.: ANTI-TERROR FIGHT A WAR OF 100 YRS.

December 14, 2006

written at NY Post by ANDY SOLTIS

“December 14, 2006 — Americans have to be ready to fight a war with radical Muslims that may last 50 to 100 years, according to a top war-on-terror general.

“We’re in a generational war,” Air Force Brig. Gen. Mark Schissler told the Washington Times.”

Comment:

To win we need:

A president who tells us who attacked us when they do.

Who stops all immigration in time of war.

Who doesn’t praise what attacked us as the religion of peace.

Who rebuilds the military to the 1991 level at least, which was all volunteer.

Who doesn’t transfer our know how to India and China, who then supply night vision to our opponents to use against our troops or against Israel in Lebanon.

Who doesn’t do nothing about North Korea building nukes for 4 years and then has C. Rice engage in pretend sanctions.

Ditto on Iran.

Disarms a nuclear Pakistan when they attack us, which is what they expected. He didn’t even ask them to give up their nukes, and they could harly contain themselves.

Doesn’t let Pakistan put nukes on missiles on subs and sell them to Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, North Korea, etc.

Doesn’t turn our ports over to countries that attacked us or to China.

Doesn’t let Prince Turiki al-Faisal who has been linked by some to helping al Qaeda before 9-11 be the ambassador to the U.S.

Who doesn’t let foreign countries have kompromat on him and use it to get away with attacking us or killing someone in London.

Who exposes the use of kompromat by Russia instead of using it as leverage over his personal opponents.

Who is loyal to the middle class and working class.

We need a Republican and Democrat party that do these things. We also need an MSM, universities, etc. that do these things.

Army, Marine Corps To Ask for More Troops

December 13, 2006

“The Army and Marine Corps are planning to ask incoming Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Congress to approve permanent increases in personnel, as senior officials in both services assert that the nation’s global military strategy has outstripped their resources.”

Comment

quote The Army, which has 507,000 active-duty soldiers, wants Congress to fund a permanent “end strength,” or manpower, of at least 512,000 soldiers, end quote. Bush is a new type of war criminal, one who keeps his own sides army too small in time of war. Our army should be 2 million men. Why is it so small? quote read my lips, no new taxes. end quote.

When daddy Bush broke that pledge he lost in 1992. Baby Bush won’t increase the military because Daddy Bush lost in 1992. The sins of the father are visited on us.

We need to strike NoKo now. We need to invade Iran, surround Pakistan and blockade it to give up its nukes. Battle phase deaths in Iraq were under 200, now is the time to fight wars, not when opponents get nukes and whatever China and India steal from us.

“Billy Graham’s Sons Argue Over a Final Resting Place”

By Laura Sessions Stepp

Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 13, 2006; Page A0

“MONTREAT, N.C. — It is a struggle worthy of the Old Testament, pitting brother against brother, son against mother, and leaving the famous father, the Rev. Billy Graham, trapped in the middle, pondering what to do.”

Comment

quote That’s not to say that, on occasion, he didn’t give Ruth fits. “In my late teens, early 20s maybe, I’d be out late drinking, getting stoned. I’d come home at 2 or so and Mother would be up. She’d just kiss me and say, ‘Ned, I’m glad you’re home. Love ya, I’m going to bed now.’ ” end quote.

Young people could find themselves and then still have a job, family and life.  Now with immigration, that isn’t possible.  Bush and McCain will match any willing employer with an immigrant.

If even Billy Graham’s children need time to find themselves, don’t we need to stop immigration to give all God’s children in this country time to find themselves without their place being filled by Bush and McCain?

re: “Illegal Workers Arrested In 6-State ID Theft Sweep”

“Federal agents targeting illegal immigrants raided meatpacking plants in six states yesterday, arresting hundreds of workers on the uncommon charge of identity theft and shutting down the world’s second-largest meat processing company for much of the day.

About 1,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with search warrants entered plants owned by Swift & Co., of Greeley, Colo., charging that “large numbers” of workers illegally assumed the identities of U.S. citizens or legal residents by using their Social Security numbers to get work, ICE officials said.”

Comments

From Athena Kerry at Vdare:

“Federal agents targeting illegal immigrants raided meatpacking plants in six states yesterday, arresting hundreds of workers on the uncommon charge of identity theft and shutting down the world’s second-largest meat processing company for much of the day.”

Andres Guerrero, who teaches Spanish at Aims Community College, joined the protesters. He said, “In ten years we’re going to take over the southland, trust me. “This is our land and always will be our land.”

baspartan | Dec 13, 2006 9:57:02 AM | quote An old acquaintence of mine who moved to California to work in medical research and other hi tech fields – he has an MD, a PHD, 2 Masters degrees, is a Vet and a staunch Patriot – end quote.

The staunch Patriot combined with know-how is what worries them. A lot of America works on fraud principles, as shown by this ICE raid. Staunch patriots with this much know-how might turn in people.

This is easier to do with the internet, electronic databases of academic articles that cover the last century, electronic newspaper archives, etc. The establishment want people who can use this to expose them to be on student visas.

If China gets it and uses it, that’s ok. If the American people are told it, that’s a problem. China, Pakistan, Russia, India, etc. are all compiling kompromat files.

This won’t change until DOJ leadership is clean.

Ill. Governor To Announce New Benefits For Immigrants

December 13, 2006

“CHICAGO, Dec. 12 — Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) will announce on Wednesday a wide-ranging set of measures meant to better integrate immigrants, legal and illegal, into the state’s economy, education system and workforce.”

Comments:

This is a violation of equal protection. Its also done after an election. This is part of stealth immigration.

Democrats say they are for the middle and working class, but actually are against them. They just want votes. Why would any one who is a citizen vote for Democrats? Republicans are almost as bad, but not always is part of the answer.

Pelosi and Reid will make it clear to Americans that the Democrat Party is the end of the middle and working class, although Bush McCain are willing helpers. The next 2 years are the years of the Democrats on immigration, which is the biggest harm to the middle class.

Cornell1984 | Dec 13, 2006 10:46:18 AM | That is close to how they think.  Some illegals may do all of those things as well.  Mass extinction of species threatens life on earth.  Increasing the US population quickens those deaths.

re: In Russia, A Secretive Force Widens

December 12, 2006

MOSCOW — On Nov. 15, the Russian Interior Ministry and Gazprom, the state-controlled energy giant, announced three new senior appointments. Oleg Safonov was named a deputy head of the ministry. Yevgeny Shkolov became head of its economic security department. And Valery Golubev was appointed a deputy chief executive at Gazprom.”

All are former KGB and Putin cronies. Crony capitalism is in in Moscow.

from “Putin Led Regrouping Of Security Services” By Peter Finn
Washington Post Foreign Service
Tuesday, December 12, 2006; Page A01

“The FSB’s pursuit of suspected traitors has chilled the academic community here. In a recent interview, a Russian physicist speaking on condition of anonymity said he had begun to consult the FSB on potential publications and academic symposiums to preclude accusations of divulging classified information.”

“This summer, Russia’s security services, including the FSB, were given the legal power to hunt down and kill terrorism suspects overseas if ordered to do so by the president.”

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn//comments/display?contentID=AR2006121101434&start=1&sub=AR

Comments:

Putin took over FSB in 1998 when Russia got the last 4.8 billion IMF payment from Stanley Fischer (IMF, Ph.D. econ MIT 1969) and Larry Summers, nephew of Samuelson and Arrow, Nobel Prize winners. This money disappeared. Berezovsky was the power behind the throne.

The big IMF money started coming from Fischer and Summers in spring 1995. In fall 1995, Berezovsky got loans for shares money. Russia had academic kompromat files starting in 1925 for plagiarism, gaining atomic know-how, etc.

Fischer and Samuelson were part of an incident at MIT in 1969 that may have been used at the 1972 Warsaw econ conference to pressure nominations for the Nobel Prize for Kantorovich of the USSR. Berezovsky may then have reused those later in the 1990’s.

After the loans for shares in 1995, IMF loans should have stopped, you don’t lend money to a govt that gives away natural resources to an oligarch. But Fischer and Summers did. That is what needs to be investigated.

Did Berezovsky and Putin use kompromat? Did they split the 4.8 billion in 98? Is this a falling out among thieves?

re: Christmas terror attack ‘highly likely’

“An attempted terrorist attack in Britain over the Christmas period is “highly likely”, the Home Secretary said today.” from Matthew Moore, Sunday Telegraph

Who might the suspects be?

Um, Radical Christians against Christmas?

“We ought to be very grateful to the people in the security services who work night and day to try to protect us,” Mr Reid said.”

How about:

We ought to be very grateful to Tony Blair and George Bush who work night and day to try to sustain Muslim immigration. They can’t kill us here unless Blair and Bush bring them here.

Congress Votes to Expand Sale of Nuclear Technology to India

“Congress today reversed decades of U.S. policy aimed at preventing the spread of nuclear weapons, voting to allow expanded sales of civilian nuclear technology to India.”

Comment:

India has kompromat on the US elite. India’s consideration is not exposing them. It will fulfill nothing asked of it. Tom Lantos may know that. He is a former econ prof.

Russia got atomic know-how in the 1940’s using academic kompromat. India’s Bhabha knew that. By the 1990’s, Russia could use that to try to get low interest rate IMF loans from Clinton profs.

Bush neocon profs knew that. They got Iraq Liberation Act in 1998 during USAO Mass investigation from 1997 to 2005 and during Clinton impeachment. Then they had it during Bush v. Gore.

Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, India, Russia, China etc. know this. They all get their piece for this. That is why China and Russia undermine our arms control efforts with NoKo and Iran. Instead they supply them and enable them.

China gets to keep sending children of high level profs in China to the US who get our know-how.

Comment:

George Allen was also in favor of guest worker, H1B, and Skil Bill with Cornyn. Webb pushed this as did Vdare, Zazona, and bloggers. Allen like Senator Warner was trying to seem like he identified with his base, but actually voted against them. Allen was supporting guest worker but trying to seem like he was a regular Virginian. Warner is even more extreme, supporting every type of immigration including amnesty.

The Lou Dobbs effect was acting in the 2006 election. Republicans who followed Karl Rove to pretend to be for their base, but vote against them on immigration were finding it hard going. Especially ones who had a long record of being for H1B such as Allen or J.D. Hayworth. Computer programmers read the internet and tell their friends who have kids in school.

Parents want a future for their kids, which Karl Rove, George Allen and Senator Warner don’t want them to have. Reality connected in 2006 for Allen.

Info on Senator Warner’s Pro- Big Immigration Vote Record

Warner is for every category of Karl Rove, Bush, McCain, Kennedy, Pelosi immigration, including amnesty, illegal, H1B, guest worker, Chinese grad students who transfer our night vision to Chinese arms merchants who sell it to insurgents to use to maim and kill our troops, etc.

Charles Krauthammer: That Murder in London

December 8, 2006

“Alexander Litvinenko’s death was a warning of what awaits those who go after the Russian government.” from Charles Krauthammer Friday, December 8, 2006; Page A39, Washington Post.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/07/AR2006120701439.html

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/comments/display?contentID=AR2006120701439&start=21

Comment:

This is a great piece. It also increases the probability of each of claims Litvinenko made against the Kremlin. Some of those may start from a low level and not increase much, but others start higher and go up more.

We also have to assume there may be other secrets the Kremlin doesn’t want to come out, or come out more. One of those may be their files on academic kompromat. These start in 1925 with atomic scientists and continue to the present in many fields including econ and physics. Schools covered include Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Chicago, MIT, Princeton, etc.
