It’s Official-Global Warming Here!

I inhabit the state of Missouri, USA, a place in which 35% of the people believe the world was created about ten thousand years ago. About that time the Flintstones were riding dinosaurs and enjoying a gay old time. The journal Environmental Research Letters just released a study which notes that 97.1% of scientific journals agree there is climate change caused by human activity. The work of some 29,000 scientists who have published over 4,000 papers concludes there is global warming that results from the abuse of our planet by its human inhabitants. However, according to Pew study, only 42% of Americans agree with these egghead scientists.

I checked with my local minister, Dr. John Smith, note that he is in possesson  of the title, Dr. He obtained this degree from South Central Idaho University, an important center of academic  study. Dr. Smith is certain the world began 10,000 years ago and global warming is simply a liberal attempt to scare people. Who would you believe-4,000 scientists or Dr. Smith??

Syria And Israel

It is now over sixty years since the state of Israel was created and conflict arose between the  new nation and its neighboring Arab states. Actually, the conflict goes even further back to opening years of the 20th century when Jews began arriving in the province of Palestine at the invitation of the Ottoman empire. Israel and

It is now over sixty years since the new state of Israel and its neighbor, Syria, clashed over land. As the years passed there was one conflict over another, and, in virtually all cases Syria came out on the short end of the fight. CIA chief, John Brennan is now in Israel attempting to deal with desires of the Israel government to wipe out any and all missiles passing through Syria  on their way to Hezbollah in Lebanon. There already have been two Israel strikes at these missiles and Prime Minister Netanyahu has made clear there will be more air attacks in order to ensure that no missiles wind up with Hezbollah.

Has anyone in the Israel government considered an easier solution? How about forging a peace agreement withe Palestinians and making very, very difficult the ability of Hezbollah to strike at areas which contain Muslims and Jews? Peace with Palestinians is the BEST way to avoid war in the Middle East for the people of Israel.

 

 

 

 

 

Civil War Again

Since the end of World War II, the United States has intervened in a series of civil wars only to discover getting caught in the middle of a civil war is the most certain way to get caught in an endless conflict which can only be resolved by those engaged in this war. First, we attempted to resolve the Korean civil war, then we attempted to resolve the Vietnam civil war, later we sought to solve the Afghanistan civil war and then the Iraq civil war. In each case, outside forces were not able to handle internal conflict. During the past few days in Baghdad fourteen died and then 34 died in a Shiite sector of the city.

These failures should make Americans think twice before getting involved in the Syrian  civil war. Find a Germany or Japan to fight–and make certain we fight the war alongside allies!

Shall We Talk?

The pattern is clear, there are hurried attempts to bring together diplomats from Western nations and Iran only to be followed by months of non-contact in which each side charges the other refuses to talk. Sometimes, notes are exchanged, and a few polite inquiries made as to whether you would like to dance with me in the coming weeks. Saeed Jalili, key Iranian atomic negotiator, who is also a candidate to become president of Iran, offered to enage in what is termed, “negotiations” over the issue of atomic development in his nation. “We are ready to continue ourtalks with the six powers whenever they are ready, before or after the presidential election in Iran. Talks will take place soon.”

I do not think the issue any longer is having a talk. I believe the issue is WHAT to discuss. And, will the other side actually listen to what is being discussed??

Texas On Our Minds

The good people of Texas have been leaders in fighting the evil of Islamic terrorism. Led by the brightest governor in this nation, Rick Perry, Texans  have challenged American Muslim groups and insist that any Islamic terrorist should be locked up for life, or even better, sent to the gas chamber for an encounter with death. Texans watch Fox News which is the only network that understands how the American people are threatened by evil Muslims. Unfortunately, during the past month there have been several incidents in which decent God fearing Americans, including those from Texas, were gunned down–not by Muslim terrorists, but by Christian  terrorists! As of this date no Islamic person has gunned down anyone from the state of Texas!

J.R. McClelland, son of Mike McClelland, a prosecutor who was recently murdered, has openly blamed the Aryan Brotherhood for this assault. He terms the murder of his father an example of “domestic terrorism.” I agree. The real danger facing America is not from Muslims, it is from Christian terrorists who pose as defenders of America. Texas, you have me the enemy and he is you.

Horror Of War

There is a dynamic in war, the longer it goes on, the more intense and violent becomes behavior of those enaged in fighting. The slaughter in Syria has gone on for over two years with scant evidence that it will cease. Each day brings new stories of murder and violation of people. The Internet now shows a grisly film of a Sryian rebel commander who is eating the lung of a dead government fighter. The perpetrator, Khaled al-Hamad has now admitted that he mutilated the body of a government soldier in an act of revenge. The video shows a rebel soldier cutting out the liver and heart of the dead body as he mumbles hatred toward members of the
Alawite sect. Alawaites are strong supporters of President Bashar al-Assad.

A fellow rebel soldier claims that Hamad had a female relative raped by governmetn forces and wanted to revenge her death. The video only strengthens President Assad and his gang of murderous thugs. We are approaching a point of no return in this war when so many have been brutalized that it is impossible for those remaining to maintain any sense of being able to live in peace with their foes. It is the point of no return when sanity has taken a vacation-for good!

Angry-Contact GOP

I assume when a member of the Republican party is nearing death, the last words to be uttered will be, BENGHAZI. Four Americans died in an attack by militants in Libya. Initially, the State Department believed mobs had been created due to showing of a video which made fun of the Prophet. It turned out the mobs were organized by terrorist organizations. So, the issue of today is -why did the State Department believe the video caused the riot rather than a terrorist organizatiion. Assume, the State Deapartment had said, “terrorist organization.” Four people would  still be dead but Republicans would not have something to complain about.

Senior State Department Gregory Hicks, told Congress that special forces had been on their way to Benghazi but were told to stand down. The Pentagon denies this version. Hicks claims he was demoted and denied a new job after he left Libya. The State Department notes he left Libya early and thus it was necessary to find him a new position. He has the same pay and status. But, becoming part of the Republican drive to use Benghazi will lead to work on Fox News and a good book.

German Spanish Arrives

The dream of Germans during the Nazi era was to spread across Europe ad bring their culture to the world. Alas, today, Germans are not going anywhere but, instead are welcoming those from other areas of Europe. A new program to bring skilled and semi-skilled Spanish workers to Germany confronts two problems- the need for semi-skilled workers and the need to bring in more Christians in order to prevent Muslims from gaining greater population strength. Small business firms will partner Spanish workers with their own people and, hopefully, within a year there will be a hard working Spanish German added to the work force and the “German” population.

The collapse of Spain’s construction industry  has left hundreds of thousands    available to work, and if the weather is a bit colder, who cares as  long as their is work. Unlike America, Germany welcomes immigrants and many receive subsidies while they adjust to life in Germany. In some cases, government finances the trip to Germany. Ami,welcome to Germany.

When In Doubt-Shout–SECURITY!!

Eric Holder, Attorney General of the United States of America is allegedly the  chief legal authority of this nation and protector of our freedoms. Since the “war on terror”began about twelve years ago, the erosion of our liberties has accelerated. Government agents can check the books we read in order to determine if we read materials that can lead to terrorist activities. Holder claims a story run by AP was the result of “a very, very serious leak” and it justified “very aggressive action.” The decision to seize AP files was allegedly connected to a criminal investigation. Holder insists the story “put the American people at risk and that is not hyperbole.”

A basic problem with such claims is that anything and everything can place the American people at risk. In the real world, we are at risk driving our car to work. We are at risk going on the subway where someone can molest our body. It is time to accept the reality that risk goes with the modern world.

I am glad to know that our president remains a strong believer in the first amendment and will protect freedom of the press.–As long as the press does not intrude into our rights. Then again, a free press MUST intrude into our lives in order to deal with violation by government of our rights.

Pressure Cooker, Anyone?

The war on terror has created a new terror in our lives since ordinary utensils employed around the home can be used to blow up people. Hussain Al Khawahir left his home in Saudi Arabia in order to visit his nephew, a college student in Ohio. He decided to bring a nice present to the boy. Gee, what would really excite the boy—hmm. I know, a brand new pressure cooker so the boy can enjoy his lamb, real hot and  juicy. Mr. Khawahir arrived at the airport filled with joy and pleasure that his nephew soon would be cooking away. Alas, airport security  personnel grabbed Mr. Khawahir and soon he was in jail on charges of being a terrorist.

For some reason, this man in Saudi Arabia does not know anything about pressure cookers as bombs. He claims never to have heard of the Boston Marathon massacre. And, to make matters worse, one page is missing from his passport.

I did learn one new thing in life. Apparently, it is common in Saudi Arabia to travel with a pressure cooker.
