Obama is prepared to act, just not consequentially

"Barack Obama’s policy toward the Libyan struggle for freedom is no longer a muddle. It is now a disgrace."

Darkness Falls
Post-Post-Imperialism Has Appeared in the Middle East, and Obama Doesn’t Get It.  Barack Obama’s policy toward the Libyan struggle for freedom is no longer a muddle. It is now a disgrace.
Here is what his administration and its allies have told the world, and the Libyan dictator, and the Libyan rebels, in recent days. The director of national intelligence declared before the Senate Armed Services Committee, in a chilling example of self-fulfilling prophecy, that “over the longer term Qaddafi will prevail.” The secretary of defense continued to insist that the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libya is too much for America to do, and to frighten the public with the warning that it would constitute a military operation, as if all military operations are like all other military operations, and therefore the prelude to the sort of wars that would require us, as he put it in an earlier outburst about Iraq and Afghanistan, to have our heads examined. Of course nobody is suggesting that a single American soldier step foot on Libyan soil: Gates’s exaggeration of the logistics and the implications of a no-fly zone, which the Libyan resistance is begging for, is the purest demagoguery, a way of inhibiting the discussion of what really can be done in this plainly just cause, a revival of Powellism, a cheap slippery slope argument tricked out as a responsible concern about the ladder of escalation. The secretary of state, also on Capitol Hill, insisted that a no-fly zone must have the support of some international authority. “Absent international authorization,” she instructed, “the United States acting alone would be stepping into a situation the consequences of which would be unforeseeable.” Of course the United States, which is after all still the United States, could go and arrange international authorization, as it has sometimes done in the past; but this would require American leadership, and the Obama administration seems to regard American leadership as an early form of American hegemony. It may be, as Clinton said, that the consequences of a no-fly zone would be unforeseeable, but the consequences of the absence of a no-fly zone are entirely foreseeable. They are even seeable. We see them daily, most recently in the massacre at Zawiyah. And in a press briefing prior to the NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels, the secretary general of the alliance began by intoning that “the whole world is watching” and then announced that “NATO has no intention to intervene in Libya.” He did not grasp the heartless illogic of what he said—though if his remark could be construed as saying that the whole world is watching NATO have no intention to intervene in Libya, there was some truth to it. And he followed with these unforgettable observations: “If these systematic attacks against the Libyan people continue it may amount to a crime against humanity. And many people around the world may be tempted to say let’s do something to prevent this massacre against the Libyan civilian population.” Some of us may indeed be so tempted. But “on the other hand,” Rasmussen continued, “there are a lot of sensitivities in the region as far as foreign military intervention is concerned, or what might be considered a foreign military intervention.” Get it? We will not act to prevent a crime against humanity because by doing so we will offend—who, exactly? Not the Libyans who are clamoring for Western assistance, or the Egyptians who looked to us for unequivocal support in their fight for freedom, or the Iranians who made a similar mistake. No, we will offend only a certain doctrinaire Western notion of what the contemporary Arab world thinks about the West, a notion that the democratic upheavals in the Arab world are making manifestly obsolete. We will offend not their assumptions, but our assumptions about their assumptions. It was no wonder that Gates, when he emerged from the meeting in Brussels, told reporters that whereas NATO planning for the possibility of a no-fly zone would continue, “that’s the extent of it.” We are only planning. Why don’t these people just come right out and tell the Libyan resistance to drink poison? Perhaps they fear that they may then have to provide the poison.
In sum, the situation is ominous. Darkness is descending on the Libyan struggle for freedom, and we are helping to lower it. While the various secretaries were articulating their abdications, Qaddafi was committing a slaughter in Zawiyah and employing his monopoly of the skies to drive the rebels out of Ras Lanuf. An eastern offensive is clearly imminent. (This is not a civil war. This is a war by a dictator upon his people. There is no other half of the Libyan population fighting for Qaddafi.) All this, of course, affects the sensitivities of the Libyan freedom fighters. “We’re waiting for the Americans to follow,” a rebel spokesman bitterly told Anthony Shadid and David Kirkpatrick of The New York Times about Sarkozy’s splendid decision to recognize the Libyan provisional government. (Morally America now lags behind France!) Shadid and Kirkpatrick also reported that “as NATO member nations met in Brussels to discuss options for Libya, the rebels cursed the United States and its allies for failing to impose a no-flight zone.” Why is the White House content to foment this variety of anti-Americanism? The answer is that it is so haunted by past Arab anger at American action in the Middle East that it cannot recognize present Arab anger at American inaction in the Middle East.
And the president? He declares that Qaddafi must go and that we will stand with the Libyan people, and then he does nothing. No, that’s not right. He consults and consults, and his staff works round the clock, and economic sanctions are instituted against the rampaging dictator who has tens of billions of dollars in cash. Obama is prepared to act, just not consequentially. He does not want the responsibility for any Arab outcome. He says they must do it for themselves. But they are doing it for themselves. They merely need help. And the help they need is easy for us to provide. (Jam their fucking communications.) And their cause is freedom, which is allegedly our cause. What they seek from Obama is an extended hand. What they are getting is a clenched fist. If Muammar Qaddafi takes Benghazi, it will be Barack Obama’s responsibility. That is what it means to be the American president. The American president cannot but affect the outcome. That is his burden and his privilege. He has the power to stop such an atrocity, so if the atrocity is not stopped it will be because he chose not to use his power. Perhaps that is why Obama has been telling people, rather tastelessly, that it would be easier to be the president of China. Obama will not be rushed. He is a man of the long game. But the Libyan struggle for freedom, and the mission of rescue, is a short game. That is the temporality of such circumstances. If you do not act swiftly, you have misunderstood the situation. Delay means disaster. Does Obama have any idea of what Qaddafi’s victory will mean for the region and its awakening?
We have flinched this way before. For many days I have had a sickening 1992–1995 feeling. Consider these sentences, from a book I lugubriously took off my shelf: “Why does the United States stand so idly by? The most common answer is, ‘We didn’t know.’ This is not true. … A second response to the question of why the United States did so little is that it could not have done much to stop the horrors. [But] the only way to ascertain the consequences of U.S. diplomatic, economic, or military measures would have been to undertake them. … If anything testifies to the U.S. capacity for influence, it is the extent to which the perpetrators kept an eye trained on Washington and other Western capitals as they decided how to proceed. … The real reason the United States did not do what it could and should have done to stop genocide was not a lack of knowledge or influence but a lack of will. Simply put, American leaders did not act because they did not want to.” The Libyan calamity is not genocide, but genocide is not the only horror that has a claim on American agency. I have taken those wise sentences from "A Problem from Hell," Samantha Power’s sad, great study of earlier American failures to act against mass-murdering tyrants. Is Obama now writing his own chapter in that story? Why do we not still remember that story? It is disgusting, as the Libyan rebels are driven further and further back, to learn that we must discover it all over again.

Man's Best Friend and a soldier's best buddy...the final journey

As a former member of the United States Air Force Veterinary Services (a function now the responsibility of the United States Army) this story touches my heart. ~ Norman E. Hooben
ps: As an official instructor I taught first-aid, parasitology, and infectious diseases to the military dog handlers attending the Military Working Dog Center, Lackland AFB, Texas.

A soldier and his dog make a final journey together
Liam and Theo were a team for years — and they died within hours of each other

The following cross-posted from: Monkey In The Middle


Just a pair of best friends until one was killed by a road side bomb. Yet the love this dog had for his partner was so great that within the day he joined his master/friend.

Liam and Theo were a team, fast friends doing a dangerous job -- searching out roadside bombs laid by insurgents in Afghanistan.
The jovial British soldier and his irrepressible dog worked and played together for months, and died on the same day. On Thursday they came home, flown back to Britain in a somber repatriation ceremony for the soldier remembered for his empathy with animals and the companion he loved.
Lance Cpl. Liam Tasker, a dog handler with the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, was killed in a firefight with insurgents in Helmand Province on March 1 as he searched for explosives with Theo, a bomb-sniffing springer spaniel mix. The dog suffered a fatal seizure hours later at a British army base, likely brought about by stress.
Military officials won't go so far as to say Theo died of a broken heart -- but that may not be far from the truth.
"I think we often underestimate the grieving process in dogs," said Elaine Pendlebury, a senior veterinarian with animal charity PDSA. "Some dogs react very severely to their partner's loss."
She said it was not uncommon for pets to respond to an owner's death by refusing food and becoming sick -- and the bond between working dogs and their handlers is especially close.
"The bonding that I have seen between soldiers or police and their dogs is fantastic. When you see them working together, it's really one unit."
A military Hercules plane carrying Tasker's body and Theo's ashes touched down Thursday at a Royal Air Force base in southwest England. As the funeral cortege of black vehicles drove slowly away, it was saluted by a long line of military dog handlers, their dogs at their sides. A black Labrador retriever sat quietly beside its handler as the hearse carrying the flag-draped coffin disappeared from view.
At the nearby town of Wootton Bassett, where people line the streets in a mark of respect each time a dead solder is repatriated, dozens stood silently -- some with dogs at their feet -- as Tasker's friends and family laid roses atop the hearse.
The Ministry of Defense said Theo's ashes would be presented to Tasker's family later at a private ceremony.
Tasker, 26, from Kirkcaldy in Scotland, spent six years as an army mechanic before joining the military working dog unit in 2007. He felt he had found his calling.
"I love my job and working together with Theo," Tasker said in a profile of the pair released by the Ministry of Defense before his death. "He has a great character and never tires. He can't wait to get out and do his job and will stop at nothing."
The soldier and the 22-month-old dog had been in Afghanistan for almost six months, uncovering roadside bombs and weapons in a dangerous daily routine.
Theo became a bit of a military celebrity last month after the defense ministry released photos and video of him and Tasker to highlight the lifesaving work of military dogs. The footage, now deeply poignant, shows Theo -- energetic, ears cocked, tail wagging -- alongside Tasker searching a compound for explosives.
The ministry said then that Theo had been so successful -- finding 14 hidden bombs and weapons caches, a record for a team in Afghanistan -- that the dog's tour of duty had been extended by a month.
Tasker was the 358th British soldier to die in Afghanistan since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion. Theo was the sixth British military dog killed in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001.
There are calls for Theo to receive the Dickin medal, which since 1943 has recognized wartime bravery by animals, from carrier pigeons to a World War II commando collie.
The loyalty of some dogs is legendary, from Greyfriars Bobby, a 19th-century Skye terrier who guarded his master's Edinburgh grave for 14 years, to Hachiko, a Japanese dog who awaited his owner's return at a train station every day for years after the man's death. Both are commemorated with statues.
Tasker's father, Ian, said Theo would have been devastated by Liam's death.
"I truly believe when Theo went back to the kennel, that that would have a big, big impact because Liam wasn't there to comfort him," he told ITV news.
Tasker's mother, Jane Duffy agreed. "I'm not nurse or a vet (but) I would like to believe (Theo) died of a broken heart to be with Liam," she told the broadcaster.
Tasker's colleague's recalled the soldier's bond with his dog and zealous attention to duty in tributes released by the defense ministry.
"A natural with animals, he had an affection for his dog that truly was a window to his soul," said Maj. Alexander Turner, a commander of Tasker's unit.
He "was here to save life, finding explosive devices that kill more farmers than combatants in our area," Turner said. "His fortitude and zeal for that perilous task was humbling; it imbued us all with confidence. He used to joke that Theo was impossible to restrain but I would say the same about Lance Corporal Tasker."
Tasker's uncle, Billy McCord, said the soldier had been due to leave Afghanistan soon and worried about being separated from Theo.
"He actually said at one point that when he finished his tour he was not sure what would happen to his dog and that he could be separated from his dog," McCord told the local Courier newspaper in Scotland. "That was preying on his mind, but they are not separated now."

Full Story

Dogs mourn for the ones they love. Some deeper than others. Theo was one of them in which even death could not part him from his beloved master.
I believe both have gone to a better place, a place of beauty, plenty and love. A place where the 2 of them are having the joy of friendship without having to risk their lives on the bombs that took their lives.

Massive Earthquake and Tsunami Hits Japan ...incredible videos!

Source: Hot Air Video: Massive quake hits Japan, tsunami alerts throughout Pacific
by Ed Morrissey

How bad is it? Dozens of people have already died in a quake that registered 8.8 on the Richter scale — a level that definitely qualifies as The Big One. NBC’s video below shows an English-language report from NHK World, Japan’s public-broadcasting news service, where the reader dispenses the facts with an almost eerie calmness as all hell breaks loose in the clips shown. The shots of the tsunamis sweeping through port cities looks more like a horror movie than a news broadcast, and the death toll noted is almost certain to rise rapidly as rescuers deal with the aftermath:

 

I lived most of my life in Southern California, where natives take a blasé attitude towards most quakes, but a few of them are memorable. My first day running an alarm center in Southern California was the day of the Northridge quake seventeen years ago, which only hit 6.7 on the Richter scale and killed 33 people, destroyed a freeway overpass, and did major damage. The Richter scale is logarithmic, which means that an 8.8 quake released more than 1000 times the energy of a 6.7.
Small wonder this man told CNN that it was nothing like anything he’d felt before:



The magnitude of this quake will generate tsunamis throughout the region, and Hawaii is now bracing for the impact:
Thousands of people have been evacuated from the coast in Hawaii as it braces for a series of tsunamis in the wake of the Japanese earthquake.
The first warning sirens went off at about 2200 local time, (0800GMT Friday) and the first waves were expected at 1307 GMT.
US President Barack Obama said he was monitoring the threat to Hawaii, his home state, and the US West Coast.
About 30,000 residents live in Hawaii’s coastal inundation zones.
The first wave of the tsunami passed through Midway Island – a small atoll at the north-western end of the Hawaiian archipelago – at about 1125 GMT, bringing a wave of more than 8ft, the local Star Advertiser newspaper reported.
The disaster won’t just hit Hawaii and Midway. This is going to keep rolling for some time. We’ll update as developments occur, but be prepared for a humanitarian catastrophe in the Pacific islands.
Update: The Anchoress has a good roundup from earlier this morning with links to Ace, Ed Driscoll, and a nuclear emergency at a power plant, where cooling efforts are “not going as planned.”
Update II: Here’s a video from commenter Dongemaharu of a refinery explosion in Japan:



Update III: The Telegraph has eerie video of a huge whirlpool off of the coast of Japan:

Karzai's cousin killed 'in the dead of night'...Where's John Kerry?

The following from: WSJ
The Wall Street Journal 

U.S. Raid Kills Karzai Cousin
Afghanistan Criticizes American-Led Assault; Incident Heightens Tensions Over Civilian Deaths

KABUL—An American-led special forces team killed an older cousin of Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai on Thursday in a night raid that aggravates tensions between the Afghan leader and the U.S. over civilian deaths.
Mr. Karzai's office criticized the assault and renewed a call for U.S. forces to end night raids, a sensitive issue in Afghanistan. "This case reaffirms the fact that night raids can be very devastating to the cause that we all jointly pursue," said Waheed Omar, Mr. Karzai's chief spokesman.
The killing of Mr. Karzai's cousin came days after the U.S.-led military sparked an outcry with an errant airstrike in eastern Afghanistan that killed nine Afghan children cutting firewood. Defense Secretary Robert Gates made a personal apology for the incident after an angry condemnation by Mr. Karzai.
American and Afghan officials said they were trying to figure out what happened early Thursday morning when U.S. and Afghan special forces conducted the deadly raid in Mr. Karzai's ancestral village of Karz, south of Kandahar city.

Jesse Jackson Jr is Not an Idiot - He is an Imbecile

By Bernie on 07 Mar 2011

I have written many times that Liberals are idiots. Now comes before us, Jesse Jackson Jr. who shows that some Liberals are even twice as stupid as Liberal idiots.
Listen to this imbecile make the case that the way out of our unemployment crisis is to change the Constitution so that every ghetto kid gets an iPod and a laptop and other idiotic things too outrageous to repeat in print.


Why not give every ghetto child a yacht? Think of all the shipyards that will be revitalized, think of all the shipbuilders put back on employment!
Some of my readers will not be convinced that he makes a good case in this video; however he has convinced me of one thing: he makes a good case for the forced sterilization of feeble-minded persons. Jesse Jackson Sr should never have been allowed to sire such an imbecile.

Note how Ms. Hogan responds with a blah, blah, answer...the liberals will never admit their wrongs!
All they ever want is control, control, control...your freedom be damned!

You all know what happened the last time we had a king.



As always, the most harmful aspect of the Obama legacy is that he has converted what were once controversial right-wing Bush policies into unchallenged bipartisan consensus, to endure indefinitely and without any opposition from either party.  ~ From: Obama's new executive order on Guantanamo Salon.com

Harvard Professors Paid $250,000.00 Per Month To Lie About Gadhafi!

Source: Common Sense & Wonder

Immoral Harvard intellectuals. Bet they're Democrats?

HARVARD PROFESSORS HAULED IN BIG CASH CONSULTING FOR GADHAFI

You really can’t make this stuff up: a consulting company founded by Harvard professors has received millions of dollars from Moammar Gadhafi for, in effect, rendering the services of propaganda machine to the deranged dictator.
The Boston Globe reports that the professors tried to help improve the dictator’s image:
It reads like Libyan government propaganda, extolling the importance of Moammar Gadhafi, his theories on democracy, and his “core ideas on individual freedom.’’ But the 22-page proposal for a book on Khadafy was written by Monitor Group, a Cambridge-based consultant firm founded by Harvard professors. The management consulting firm received $250,000 a month from the Libyan government from 2006 to 2008 for a wide range of services, including writing the book proposal, bringing prominent academics to Libya to meet Khadafy “to enhance international appreciation of Libya’’ and trying to generate positive news coverage of the country.“The really nefarious aspect of this is that it reinforced in Khadafy’s mind that he truly was an international intellectual world figure, and that his ideas of democracy were to be taken seriously,’’ said Dirk Vandewalle, associate professor at Dartmouth College and author of “A History of Modern Libya.’’Beyond writing agitprop for Gadhafi, the firm sent a coterie of distinguished academics to visit Ghadafi, including Joseph Nye of the Kennedy School, Lord Anthony Giddens of the London School of Economics, and Francis Fukuyama of Stanford University. The firm also helped Gadhafi’s son with his dissertation for the London School of Economics. Is that what passes for academic honor these days?
But the Monitor Group defended itself citing–what else?–hope, or change, or something: “The firm said that assistance and the book proposal were mistakes. But its statement stressed that the firm’s main effort was designed to help Khadafy’s dictatorship bring about change.”
Well, change is coming to the country–but not exactly of the kind that Gadhafi was hoping for. Maybe Gadhafi should ask for a refund.

Italy makes immigrants speak Italian for work visa
By FRANCES D'EMILIO, Associated Press Frances D'emilio, Associated Press

FLORENCE, Italy – Svetlana Cojochru feels insulted. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a nanny to Italian kids and caregiver to the elderly, but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by writing a postcard to an imaginary friend and answering a fictional job ad.
"I feel like a guest," said Cojochru. She had just emerged from Beato Angelico middle school where she took a language test to comply with a new law requiring basic Italian proficiency for permanent residency permits following five years of legal residence.
Italy is the latest Western European country turning the screws on an expanding immigrant population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship. While enacted last year in the name of integration, these requirements also reflect anxiety that foreigners might dilute fiercely-prized national identity or even, especially in Britain's case, pose terror risks.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as harsh economic times make it harder for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration. Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
So far, Italy is only giving a gentle turn to the screw. Cojochru and other test-takers described the exam as easy. No oral skills were tested.
In Austria, terms are tougher. There, where native speakers have been sometimes known to scold immigrant parents for not speaking proper German to their children, foreigners from outside the European Union need to prove they speak basic German within five years of receiving their first residency permit. Failure to do so can bring fines and jeopardize their right to stay.
The government argues that foreigners who master German can better integrate and help foster understanding across cultures. But, like in Italy, critics say it's a just a pretext for erecting barriers.
"The German language is increasingly being used as a marginalization tool," said Alev Korun, a Turkish-born member of the opposition Greens party who immigrated to Austria when she was 19.
Austria's Cabinet approved new rules requiring most immigrants to have elementary German skills before they even enter the country. They're part of a plan to create a new "red-white-red card" — the colors of the Austrian flag — for a work permit for qualified non-EU citizens aimed at filling gaps left by an aging work force. The legislation now goes to parliament for consideration.
Critics say requiring people to speak basic German before they set foot in Austria would be an unreasonable barrier for people from poor, rural areas who can't afford or access German classes.
"I think this is a very clear form of discrimination of certain type of immigrants," said Barbara Liegl, head of the Austrian anti-racism organization ZARA. "I see massive disadvantages for specific groups."
Terrorism pushed Britain to start strictly enforcing a requirement for English-language competency for prospective citizens. Three of the 2005 London suicide bombers were native Britons of Pakistani descent while the fourth was born in Jamaica.
Since 2005, would-be citizens and permanent residency holders have been asked to prove their command of "Britishness" by answering multiple choice questions, in English, on British history, culture and law, from explaining the meaning behind the fireworks-filled Guy Fawkes Night, to knowing which British courts use a jury system.
Britain's government has pledged to dramatically cut immigration, and the language requirement is effectively a tool to put a cap on the number of newcomers, said Sarah Mulley, an immigration expert at the Institute of Public Policy Research, a London think tank.
Home Secretary Theresa May, who aims to cut immigration to below 100,000 by 2015, said language tests will help weed out those who don't plan to contribute to British life. She has singled out spouses seeking marriage visas to join English-speaking partners as a particular concern.
"There is a concern about long-established communities in the U.K. who are not well integrated, for examples, some of the Pakistani (and) Bangladeshi communities, and that's largely linked to language limitation," Mulley added.
But Mohammed Reza, a Pakistani on a student visa who is studying for Britain's citizenship test, saw language as a path to integration.
"If I'm wearing traditional clothing on my way to the mosque, everyone on the tube (subway) looks at me funny and gives me wide berth," Reza said. "It's hard to beat the stereotype, but speaking English is probably the most important thing for fitting in. That's why I read as much as I can and try to learn the lingo here."
In Italy's case, there has been a much weaker tradition of immigration and no major Islamic terror attacks. Still, a strong spike in newcomers in recent years — along with the very newness of the immigration phenomenon — has fueled a xenophobia surge and boosted the popularity of the anti-immigrant Northern League, Premier Silvio Berlusconi's main coalition partner.
In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent, according to the state statistics bureau, ISTAT. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants' offspring accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.
Amid the trend, Northern League leader Umberto Bossi's influence in government has grown ever stronger, his rhetoric often laced with a racist tinge. Bossi once referred to immigrants as "bingo bongos" and has suggested that migrant smugglers' boats off Italy's shores be fired upon with cannons.
Last year, a Northern League lawmaker proposed extending the language requirement to all non-EU citizens who want to open a store or other business in Italy, but the move died in Parliament.
Bossi "represents the extreme" in stands on immigration, said Manuele Bacci, 38, one of a fourth generation of butchers running a shop in Florence's cavernous San Lorenzo covered market. The other extreme, he said, is absolutely no restrictions.
"We need to take a step toward them and they need to take a step toward us," was Bacci's formula for integration.
But many immigrants say they'll be rejected no matter how hard they try to fit in.
Cojochru, the Moldovan nanny and caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence would help her bring her two teen children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where wages are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.
Italians always "see me as a foreigner," an outsider, despite her years in the country and despite her flawless command of the local language, she said.

The Hillary Doctrine: "...after decades of denying that anything like "a new world order" existed...There is a new world order and Hillary is at the forefront of its realization

Newsweek's Hillary Problem

Monday, March 07, 2011 – by  Staff Report

Hillary Clinton

In a time of momentous change in the world, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (left) sets out on her most heartfelt mission: to put women and girls at the forefront of the new world order. – Newsweek
Dominant Social Theme: She's just the best.
Free-Market Analysis: Tina Brown, the much feted editor of Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, Talk magazine and The Daily Beast has finally issued the first all-new edition of Newsweek. The revamped magazine – which was bleeding millions before Brown was brought in to salvage it – looks a lot like the old Newsweek from what we can tell, and the cover story is no exception. It is beyond adulatory, providing Hillary with a message and focus that we're not sure she ever had in real-life.
The article is deeply dishonest on so many levels that it is difficult to know where to begin. The Hillary Doctrine starts off with a shocking cut line (see above). Apparently after decades of denying that anything like "a new world order" existed, the American media establishment (as represented by Tina Brown) has decided to speak more openly. There is a new world order and Hillary is at the forefront of its realization. Having placed Hillary in her rightful position, the article goes on to establish her bone fides:
But Clinton was far from a passive observer. She was in energetic discussion on the Egyptian news site Masrawy.com, where her presence excited a stream of questions – more than 6,500 in three days – from young people across Egypt. "We hope," she said, "that as Egypt looks at its own future, it takes advantage of all of the people's talents" – Clinton shorthand for including women. She had an immediate answer when a number of questioners suggested that her persistent references to women's rights constituted American meddling in Egyptian affairs: "If a country doesn't recognize minority rights and human rights, including women's rights, you will not have the kind of stability and prosperity that is possible."
The Web chat was only one of dozens of personal exchanges Clinton has committed to during the three months since Tunisia's unrest set off a political explosion whose end is not yet in sight. At every step, she has worked to connect the Middle East's hunger for a new way forward with her categorical imperative: the empowerment of women. Her campaign has begun to resonate in unlikely places. In the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh, where women cannot travel without male permission or drive a car, a grandson of the Kingdom's founding monarch (Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz al-Saud) last month denounced the way women are "economically and socially marginalized" in Arab countries.
The problems in the Middle East are far greater than women's oppression in our view. More than that, the US has been a prime enabler of the dictators and oppression in the Middle East. The difficulty is the financial environment, the central banking system that creates endless booms and busts and starves entrepreneurs of capital. It seems a little precious in our view to worry about women's rights when the average Egyptian is living on a dollar a day.
This doesn't stop Tina though. Hillary's campaign to help oppressed Muslim women grinds on. It is part of a larger effort as enunciated by the US State Department's mission statement: "Advance freedom for the benefit of the American people and the international community by helping to build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world composed of well-governed states that respond to the needs of their people, reduce widespread poverty, and act responsibly within the international system."
One could ask, reasonably, when did the State Dept's objectives changed from pursuing cordial relationships with the countries of the world to an activist approach that "advances freedom" via the creation of "well-governed states." None of this is theoretical either. There is factual documentation that Western elites have set these color revolutions in motion. The raised-fist logos that appeared during the Eastern Europe color revolutions have reappeared in Tunisia and Egypt; a much-discussed UK Telegraph article that reported on US intel involvement in training Egyptian "youth" on various protest tactics prior to Egypt's recent upheavals. The training apparently went on for at least two years.
We've reported on AYM, The Alliance for Youth Movements (AYM), which began with a December 2008 summit in New York City to, as Wikipedia puts it, "to identify, convene, and engage 21st century movements online for the first time in history. The United States Department of State partnered with Facebook, Howcast, MTV, Google, YouTube, AT&T, JetBlue, Gen-Next, Access 360 Media and Columbia Law School to launch a global network and empower young people mobilizing against violence and oppression."
Hillary is an imperial factotum of an empire that is fomenting revolution around the world. One can argue that such revolutions are "good" but this begs the question; why did the US sponsor the thugs and dictators that ran the Middle East for so long. And in the long run, the kinds of societies that will come out of these color revolutions will doubtless continue to contain the ruinous financial infrastructure that has done so much damage in the West.
The likelihood as a matter of fact is that many of these countries will end up with Islamic republics. Thus Hillary's stated concern about "women" must be seen within the context of what these color revolutions portend. The West needs Islam to pursue its phony war on terror and one watches with a certain dreadful fascination as the West builds yet another faux-enemy for purposes of advancing authoritarianism at home.
Conclusion: Finally, we note the article was written by someone named "Lemmon" who is identified as a "fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations." There is something deliberately provocative about all this. Certainly Newsweek has been the mouthpiece of the Imperium for decades. But the article is a tissue of lies, easily debunked with even the smallest amount of research on the ‘Net. Presumably Newsweek will have to turn a profit at some point and generate an audience as well. We fail to see how with articles like these Tina Brown is giving Newsweek any chance at all – not that we really believed she would. But that is the dilemma of the mainstream media in the era of the Internet.

The only thing that Hillary has got near right, and even then she got that entirely wrong, is that Uncle Sam has lost the information war for control of hearts and minds. Her contention that Uncle Sam was losing, rather than admitting it had lost, being a misspeak which is just so her abiding weakness which she appears to imagine is one of her strengths.

Old dog, new tricks ..... springs immediately to mind, and the impossible likelihood of anything so fundamental being in her tired familial repertoire.

A crock, is a crock, is a crock, no matter how hard you try to spin it in IT with media collusion, cloaked in, and as something else.

The problem is not the persecutions of smart and not so stupid women, it is the prosecutions of stupid and not so smart men, who imagine that the world is theirs to play with, as if a toy for their own personal pleasure.

The American ambassador to Kenya is (according to wikileaks) orchestrating and fomenting a "youth movement" to oust the "old leadership" in that countries next general election scheduled for 2012. The comments in response to the ambassador's antics at the bottom of the page are also quite interesting.

One thing I have noticed is, in all these regions of conflict around the world, there is little evidence of commercialism. You look at their downtown and there are no Coca cola or Fuji signs or BP gas stations, etc. If their culture is too traditional, anti-west, actually anti consumerism, where they cannot be controlled by their pocket book, then they get an oppressive dictator. The young people in Egypt obviously love their computers and cell phones, so maybe they are ready. It will be interesting to see what develops. Hillary is giving out the call, c'mon girls, you can play too.

Well, we in Australia were obviously dragging our feet in bowing to the NWO's God of Global Warming... Herr Hillary came down to see her Sister-in-Charge Gilliard and bang! ...we have carbon taxes suddenly announced, even though Gilliard promised no such thing would happen in her election campaign! The reality show on the internet and the mirage shown in the mainstream media are diverging more and more.

@DB: "But Clinton was far from a passive observer. She was in energetic discussion on the Egyptian news site Masrawy.com, where her presence excited a stream of questions..."
You're too trusting (read: possibly gullible). What makes you think it was REALLY Clinton and not some proxy mouthpeace, or, even a team of them, creating the ILLUSION of a wise seeress, adapting and telling the marks EXACTLY what they want to hear? Just as centralized A/V media can create a larger than life (FALSE) image, so can the internet.
And, despite laws on the books, against propagandizing (lying) domestically, well, Newsweek appears to be admitting that it is such an instrument, on the "NWO" Mission. Just last week, Clinton was begging Congress for more propaganda funding and, viola, Pavlov's media salivates by glorifying her. It is forgotten that the Clintons were at the heart of the S L collapse (fraud), just a dry run for larger crimes, as we see today.
Either elites know something we don't and are confident, or, they are stupid because US majority sentiment is tending towards "non-intervention" and dealing with their own domestic woes (and the criminals who caused them).

"The organization was formed during a December 2008 summit, the Alliance of Youth Movements, that brought together experts in social media with pioneering grassroots movement leaders for the first time in history. Founders of Movements.org include Jared Cohen, Director of Google Ideas at Google, Jason Liebman, CEO and co-founder of Howcast, and Roman Tsunder, co-founder of Access 360 Media."

Are women more susceptible to state control?

Is the state their surrogate 'husband'?

Is the state the 'village' to raise their children?

Perhaps the recent 'attack on women' in the media is meant to rile them to the cause of state control over the 'enemies of women'?

The longest running dominant social theme of the power elite is matriarchy. Cultural devolution and social dissolution are evidences of an authoritarian regulatory democracy. When weapons of mass destruction were not found, the theme for sustaining the campaign turned to equality for girls, gays and gals. How many stories on oppressed women and gays in Islamic nations have their been? How many stories on economic crisis caused by debt-currency manipulation? Google it.

Since the Game remains the same no matter which branch of the Republicrat Party is in control and since the Department of War (which ironically changed its name to the Department of defense after WWII) is always a constant through successive elected administrations, nothing really ever changes. Military hegemony prevails. Once this has bankrupted the USA and perhaps the world we may reasonably expect military oligarchy to reign supreme aka the Roman Empire. The Swiss Navy cannot save us.

Dear Hillary, As Foreign Minister, I know you are aware that 7 Middle East Arab Muslim countries are in an uprising against governments sponsored and backed by the USA. I am also sure you are aware that these uprisings may call into question the entire oil distribution and payment scheme the west has spent decades protecting and benefiting from. Since the ground in this region has now shifted decisively, do you not think it wise to direct your intellect and efforts to address this reality and its implications?
With regards, Mr. Curious.

Hillary has also been mentioned as a "role model" (i.e., a modern, successful, powerful, progressive woman) in dialogue by one of the lead female characters on the CW Network's television series "Gossip Girl" (whose target audience is 18-34 year old females).

Is it possible for you to provide an example of a recent "attack on women' media meme?

"The secretary of state is on a mission: putting women's rights at the forefront of a rapidly emerging new world order."

If Lemmon says so. Lemmon sure scribbles sickening sweet Clinton cliche cream puff pieces. And not necessarily in a bad way. Just too much information. Too rich. Even the pink pantsuit gets mentioned. A Clintonesque cliche salad.

Such a sweet salad makes me want to laugh until I puke. Lemmon seems to use "New World Order" as a fashion accessory. A cosmetic gravitas broach. It's hard for me to take Browns's piece de resistance seriously. Heck, it's hard for me to take even more that a few mouthfuls at a single sitting. LOL.

Posted by Jeannie Queenie on 3/7/2011 1:42:09 PM
Surely this woman deserves no credibility when she is advocating for the UN to have final authority over US parent's offspring, thus cutting the parent's power from them...or when she advocates for all women to climb the corporate ladder, and on her way up, grab a shard from that glass ceiling and gouge the eyes of the man beneath you...or when she actually believes that single motherhood helps the family unit. Or being LGBT is just another life choice that aids in keeping a society strong and sane.

Oops, I forget, when you advocate for LGBT, you really don't give two figs for the family unit, which is the foundational basis for any society to thrive. Wait, isn't that what the PE wants? The dissolution of the family so that each and every person can be controlled by the state? And the entire notion of the individual is eliminated in favor of the collective or the larger group? This one big happy global family!!

You know much about this woman when her very own daughter marries a man whose father's reputation as a one man crime spree, spent five years in prison...Chelsea hasn't even been married a year and already rumors of her marriage on the rocks due to severe pressures of work/home/marriage. And yet, Mommie dearest would have daughter dearest believe that women can have it all...what a major crock if ever. And there aren't even any children on the scene yet...oh dear, that would really spoil the soup!

@ERIC--You're spot on in your analysis...Yes, women are more susceptible to state control..and yes, they view the state as one big daddy figure..
What they don't know is that daddy loves all those extra tax dollars and they love the fact that she doesn't love her kids enough to be home with them and desires the state to babysit them as well. Which makes it all the easier for the state to brainwash the kids via public education.

The feminazi's could care less that schools are teaching the kids crap galore. When mom is more concerned about that second car, new furniture, or whatever the faux ad world presents for her wish list, the kids take backseat, and oh hell, the kids can be bought off as we have seen a few generations of US women doing to absolve their guilt over mom's absence.

Yes, Eric, the state is the 'village' to raise her children. We also know it takes a village idiot of a woman to promote this insanity. Or a woman whose husband needs a village to satisfy him. Hillary was clueless that her old man's indiscretions reflected on failing, frumpy feminism.

Can't tell me that Hillary isn't part of the PE that wants to get all women out there working three jobs...first as a wage slave working for corporatism where the company is all that counts..when she is done with that job she can go home and do two more jobs...deal with children and all the many hours of cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc. All the meanwhile her kids are brainwashed at public schools, and her weenie husband goes along with it all for he lost his manhood when feminism set out to de-ball all white men...and now she bitches that he isn't pitching in with her other two jobs...and we wonder why few marriages survive anymore. It's all so funny, if it weren't dead serious in it's sad, sordid way.

If Clinton hadn't made his consort the healthcare czarina back in '93, if he'd handed GHW Bush's campaign healthcare plant (Old Bush) to, say, Donna Shalala, he'd have accomplished more (if thats how you look at it, and I do) than Obama did with all the sturm und drang last year.

She was senator from a state where public opinion was strongly against the Iraq War but she voted for it (as did the other NY senator, Schumer, because Israeli government wishes and Israeli lobby money trumps everything).

Well, she's just dreadful.

@Sovereignjim---right on..'by hook or crook, war or breeding'. Some among them have said they don't need guns or missiles, their women's bodies are their weapon of choice. By breeding faster than the Western world, it's a no brainer that numbers don't lie. Europeans decided eons ago to limit their numbers...and the US has been doing this since at least the sixties when 'free love' was more important than 'free lives filled with liberty.

That hotbed of insanity the sixties birthed, is now manifesting in all its sick glory...it just seems to grow from bad to worse. Bad enough the hippies were doing it in the poppyfields, now the latest 60's resurgence finds a professor in a human sexuality class at NorthWestern University having a live sex act in the classroom using a tool on idiot research subject to bring her to the Big O. Obviously this professor is a total whackjob who should have a tool like a dairy milking machine hooked up to him in the same area....one that doesn't stop until it gets 20 quarts from him. The insanity never ends! US colleges get sicker and sicker.

DB: may have been lost or rejected, again

"Are women more susceptible to state control?"

No, women are socialized to have to "appear" to be kind and caring which means they must fit into the perceptual social box constructed for them, to be socially "acceptable". To appear otherwise is to be an alleged "bitch". The current "kind and caring" social box is equated to socialism.

OK, here's where I will really get flamed. IMHO, a lot of female "nature" is an evolutionary adaptation because, relative to males they are physically less powerful and since goals (including survival) can only be achieved by the usage of force, fraud or peaceful, honest trade, females are less prone to violence, leaving fraud or honest trade as their statistical options. Hence, the "feminine mystique" to keep males guessing about what females are really after and, how they intend to achieve it. It also explains their apparent "need" to find a strong man, to ally with, for those matters which do require "forceful" addressing.

Evolution and adaptation to environment determines EVERYTHING:

@OL Gray Ghost...you say, "Men can't fight back when they're trying to get in touch with their feminine side"...first off, thanks for the clink clink...but really now, are you telling me that men don't have rights anymore and you're just going to forget about them? Please, all you guys 'man up' out there...quit allowing these feminazis to quit pushing you around. It is about time that women grow up and become women, and that does not necessarily equate to climbing a corporate ladder or even working outside the home at a full time paying job.

At their core most women want one thing and that is to be cherished and protected..to know that she is first and foremost in a guy's mind. Now if she is the lazy kind who never improves herself, lets herself go, does not develop god given talents, never picks up a book, nor gives a hand to others in need, then I'd say you have a big job on your hands.

If she is no good in the kitchen, fire her...for there's a good chance she won't be any better in the bedroom. Of course, if you are one of those guys who has let himself go, don't expect Sharon Stone at your stove fixing up some hot enchiladas to widen that six pack belly.

I am all for a real marriage of equals..but that doesn't necessarily mean that I have to compete with my man in the wages workforce. It also doesn't mean that he gets to play Patriach with a capitol P, meaning he will not tolerate any other opinions other than his own. In the end, the father must be the head of the household, but it doesn't mean he has to be a total ass and pretend he is Hitler reincarnated.

So too, women should take more seriously their roles as women, and stop trying to be MEN...I as a female, never felt like the feminists do, that in order to be a real woman, first you must become a man..how ridiculous is that? And so too, no man should first feel he must be so sensitive that he loses touch with his masculinity. I really don't know which is worse, women who must emulate men, or men who feel they must become more sensitive than three year old girls. Both are basically a joke. For my part, I love 'viva la difference". That difference is there for a very good reason, and those who don't heed those differences do so at their very own peril.

In case, you wonder why I use the handle "Queenie", 1)It rhymes with my name, but moreso, it's because I do feel that every woman should treat her man like a King, and by god, if she is doing that with real love and without manipulation, she deserves to be treated like the Queen she is...so guys if you have a real Queen on your hands, don't take her for granted, for they get rarer with each passing day. And gals, if you have a King, take good care of him morning, noon and especially, night!

Want to destroy the state?...grow that love which no one can take from you..that bond withstands all those who would destroy the greatest thing ever, this thing called love. Without family, there is nothing. To see the difference between genders, and as this is an adult audience of feedbackers, this is funny as heck. Note the baby girl is very verbal, and the baby boy...well, he's an early learner--chip off the old block?

We removed ourselves from a king over 300 years ago...now we must remove a king from us

Source (H-T to Texas Fred)  The American Thinker

To Save America, We Must Dethrone King Obama
By Lloyd Marcus

Incredibly, Obama continues to boldly go where no other president has gone before. Apparently, none of the rules apply to him. Without consequence, at will, Obama ignores laws and the Constitution to implement his progressive/socialist agenda.
America's first black president has morphed into America's first king. All hail King Obama, our supreme ruler. Think about this folks, King Obama has put together his royal court of an unprecedented 32 czars who only answer to him. His czars consist of people who have socialist and communist leanings, many simply do not like America. King Obama's czars, without congressional over sight, set new rules and regulations for our lives; boldly ignoring laws and the U.S. Constitution.
Given Obama's unprecedented government overreaches, when we vote him out in 2012, will His Royal Obamaness surrender the Oval Office? Just kidding. Such a concern is a bit over the top. Right? Right?
Meanwhile, displaying an amazing total disregard for the sanctity of freedom, guess who cheers on Obama's every unprecedented lawless "power grab" and dis of the Constitution; the despicable liberal media.
Most of the mainstream media are liberals promoting their progressive/socialist agenda while calling it journalism. A liberal black presidential candidate was their dream come true. Obama's skin color was a gift from the liberal gods; the ultimate political trump card.
The Left exploits Obama's black skin color as their "Weapon of Mass Intimidation"; a coat of armor insulating him from all opposition and reasonable critique.
Any supplicant daring to question or oppose His Royal Obamaness is forced to endure the liberal media's "shock and awe" battery of accusations of racism and violent intentions.
Is it unfair to say Obama governs more like our king rather than our president? You be the judge.
Obamacare was ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. King Obama basically said "screw that! I'm implementing it anyway".
DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) is the law. King Obama said in effect, "I don't like that law and we are not defending its copnstitutionality."
A federal ruling said King Obama's deep offshore drilling moratorium in Louisiana is illegal and ordered it lifted. Again, King Obama simply ignored the federal ruling.
Federal immigration law is much tougher than Arizona's new Law. The Arizona law says if someone is stopped for a traffic violation or suspected of a crime, they must show proper ID. Well duh! All Americans are required to show ID in such situations. King Obama wants members of a special ethnic group to be protected from such inquiry. Thus, King Obama has declared the Arizona law racist and is suing Arizona for enforcing "federal law". King Obama views illegals as potential future new Democrat voting supplicants.
King Obama wants to force health workers to perform abortions whether they like it or not. The "Conscience Rule" protects health workers who refuse to participate in abortions or other medical procedures that go against their moral and religious beliefs. King Obama is working on rescinding that law.
If we have learned nothing else from the passing of Obamacare against the will of 70% of the American people we learned, legal processes be damned, whatever King Obama wants, King Obama gets.
And, let us not forget that King Obama fired the CEO and took over a private sector auto company. Thus, the birth of King Obama Motors.
And what about King Obama's seige of the banking industry. After accepting TARP money, a bank chairman read the tea leaves of things to come; government running his business and dictating salaries. He requested to pay back the TARP money with interest. King Obama denied the bank chairman's request and threatened "adverse" consequences if he persisted.
The new Black Panther Party is guilty of voter intimidation in Philadelphia. King Obama refuses to press charges against the new Black Panthers; now get this folks, because they are black. His royal enforcer, Attorney General, Eric Holder, who is black, told the House Appropriations subcommittee that the New Black Panther voter intimidation case demeans "my people."
Holder went on to explain that the suffering of African Americans seeking the right to vote in the South in the 60s far surpass the intimidation white voters recently endured in Philadelphia. So much for any pretense of King Obama dispensing equal justice to all Americans. We're talkin' Affirmative Action justice.
King Obama is systematically taking control of every aspect of our lives. Cramming Obamacare down our throats was a huge step toward achieving his goal. Please read, "20 Ways ObamaCare Will Take Away Our Freedoms".
Exempting themselves, liberals are notorious for making rules for us supplicants. Queen Michelle Obama recently feasted on high calorie greasy bar-b-que spareribs while seeking to federally mandate/regulate menus and portion sizes in schools, restaurants and etc.
Bottom line, King Obama is out of control. In 2012, We The People MUST raise up with pitchforks of votes to end King Obama's tyrannous reign. American as we know and love it could be lost. Defeat is not an option.
As Vice Chair of The Campaign to Defeat Obama in 2012, I sincerely covet your support.
