https://www.scribd.com/doc/250946949/Thoughts-LXXXIV-The-Interview-AG-Kane-Eagles-POTUS-16Media-BHO-s-Scandal-Sheet-Illegals-Cuba-LGBTQ-BHO-s-Unpopularity-among-military

Although major concepts have been established, a certain amount of fine-tuning is needed; hard-ball
intrigue abounds [in PA, in America, in Israel]. A must-view article depicting what-2000-calories-lookslike from myriad sources is an eye-opener [and stomach-churner] with captivating sequencing; a
summary of quotes from Rush and his surrogates provides color-commentary. {Also note participants @
a typical X-Mas dinner and a Dog who danced upon seeing its Owner; finally, lament the fact that, in
England, THREE E-CIG ADS WERE BANNED FOR GLAMOURISING TOBACCO, despite the fact that there is
no tobacco involved with Vaping.}
Every time I envision cutting-back regarding these Blast e-mails, along come both
love-letters *Thank you for all of your amazing work. I really appreciated receiving your
informative and intelligent emails and I hope they continue. I also forward them so i
hope I am helping you educate others who would not have the time to work as diligently
as you do researching all of this.So dedicated and intelligent!+ and dialogue with an
attorney [who told me that my having sued against the construction of the Stadia (a
decade ago) caused financing-conniptions]:
Him: Dont be so sure that most Rs support Rubios view on Cuba
policy. I for one, do not.
Me:
Most feel that you shouldnt give
notwithstanding the wise intent of your behavior.

away

the

store,

Him: Well, since we took away their store for 50 years as

punishment, Im not worried about a mismatch at this point. If we open
up commerce, well have more chances to extract more from them as
we build casinos, tourist attractions etc.
Me:

And nothing about Human Rights?

Him: Well, weve been actively engaged diplomatically with Vietnam.

I dont know what were doing about human rights there. I am a
believer that society will change faster with open relations than
otherwise. Anyway, Im enjoying your emails.
Thus far, The Interview is playing neither in Philly nor in South-Jersey, but now it looks
like anyone (at least in America) who wants to see the movie, will be able to with just a
credit card and a click of the mouse; CNN reports that Sony is working out a deal with
YouTube for "The Interview" to be available for rental starting on Christmas Day.
631

[Update: Sony will Release 'The Interview' Christmas Eve Afternoon online beginning
Wednesday through a Sony website as well as services from Google's Play Store and
Microsoft's Xbox; it will be available via YouTube and from a special website
[seetheinterview.com]. One key-concept to remember is that, although the police will
obviously patrol despite the doubt that the N-Koreans will do anything, there is a sense
of solidarity among all the worlds anti-Americans [e.g., Islamic State used Twitter to
Recruit Ferguson Protesters] and, thus, it wouldnt be surprising if an Islamist were to
raise a ruckus @ one of these entities.

Inadvertently, I omitted a key-hyperlink [namely, to the NY-Times Sunday-Mag] which

claimed Hillary said to have been pained by the consequences of Israel's actions, just not
publicly. 'I can tell you that privately she has expressed empathy for the Palestinians.'
On the state-level, Rep. METCALFE INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION TO IMPEACH AG-KANE, an action that
seems justified following analysis of the forces-at-play; an amalgamation of my contributions concluded
AG-Kane had confabulated [counterpointing rationalizations and logical gymnastics posited by DD, elroy
hirsch and Big Moola]. They had scrupulously avoided the need to address the tale of the tapes [which
would supersede any challenge to the credibility of the plant+ and to confront the retroactive memo
claiming racism [also, despite there being a definable socio-political pathway from the plant to the
perps]. Curiously, citing CasablancaPA prompted a tantalizing reply *Elroy Hirsch [Brett] and the people
who created Casablanca, are bitter criminals that were put in prison by Fina+ that was never fleshedout; for whatever its worth, CasablancaPA accused PA Gov Corbett, AG Kaine for "partisan"
prosecutions at Penn Pike on 3/21/2013 [presaging the recent convictions, albeit, without jail-time].
{Free speech? Not at PSU, group says.}
632

The Bleacher-Report provides background as to what transpires regarding each of the

local sports teams [Eagles, Phillies, Flyers and Sixers] within a national context; some
themes are provided weekly [Latest NFL Power Rankings; Winners, Losers; Report Cards;
Expert Picks] and some are sporadic [Updated NFL Playoff Picture; Eagles Put 5 in Pro
Bowl]. {When perusing the Pro-Bowlers, know that ST denotes Special Teams.Perusing an annual video [Remembering Those We Lost in 2014] will yield plenty of
unknowns to research, plus a few with Philly-links.
Regarding the Iggles, it summarized overall what occurred on Saturday-p.m. [Grading
Showdown with Redskins, an assessment with which its difficult to quibble+ and what it
portends [Honeymoon isnt Over for Chip in Philly, because he needs to match his
system with personnel]; the consensus view is that the Eagles Have Bright Future, but
were Not Ready in 2014, for the Eagles Regression Was Easy to See Coming because, per
Jenkins, the Eagles Were Living on 'Borrowed Time.' One ominous observation from a
member of the Green Bay Packers was that they merely had to speed-up their defense
signals to match the increased pace of the game, for the overall plan didnt seem to
change much from week-to-week [regardless of the varying strengths/weaknesses of
each opponent]. Most fans feel that Kelly has a solid future here [concurring with Kelly,
who was Not Miffed by Playoff Structure in Unusual Year, even as glaring deficiencies
yield Predictions regarding Eagles' Biggest Roster Moves This Offseason]. In short,
having already recognized the team isnt yet elite *particularly its secondary+, its not a
big deal that the Iggles arent in the playoffs *thus far+.
Bold Predictions for Clash with Giants really arent very adventurous, for Kelly Refused
to Use Finale for Development because much can change in the off-season; presumably,
hell be assessing his first-team initially. Certain players have been highlighted [Ertz Set
Eagles' Record for Catches in a Single Game raising the question as to whether Eagles
Underutilized him; Cole Unsure If He'll Be Back with Eagles in 2015; Kendricks Quietly
Having Great Season for Eagles; Chip Claimed Fletcher Has Had a Good Year, although
Davis said No Decision on Fletcher Until End of Week; A Lost Rookie Season for Marcus
Smith].
It may be recalled that I wasnt thrilled with the loss of D-Jax [who Mocked PHI with
Postgame Dance]; the announcers simply claimed he had been dropped due to alleged
gang-ties, but the event was reminiscent of how wrong Buddy Ryan had been when he
had shipped-off Cris Carter to the Vikings *All he does is catch touchdown passes+. One
need only recall how D-Jax was double-teamed routinely [as was Terrell Owens during
the Super-Bowl season a decade ago], opening-up the short-pass [a phenomenon that
was amplified whenever Donovan McNabb was spied upon+ to recognize what was
lost when the long-pass threat was diminished; that Maclin is Confident He'll Get
Extension with Philly Soon is arguably compensatory [particularly when one recognizes
the limits of each QB when throwing long-passes accurately].
No season would be complete without a QB-controversy and, because Foles wont play,
the Eagles Will use Sanchez to Close Season; because Sanchez Showed He's Eagles'
Weak Link, I concur Philly should Give Barkley a Look. Recognizing that Sanchez is Not
Worried About Future Prospects allows for him to depart gracefully as a free-agent.
633

Regarding POTUS-16, it is desirable to assess the advisors of the GOP hopefuls [In the credentials
caucus, GOPs 2016 hopefuls study policy and seek advisers; The Brain Trusts Behind the 2016 GOP
Hopefuls; 2016 REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS AND THEIR ADVISERS]; networking of Chris
Christies advisor, Robert E. Grady, has been assessed by Muckety. {Also, note that two suspicions
have been confirmed: Jeb Bush e-mails depict tensions with GOP conservatives and Wealthy donors
sided with Democrats in midterms.}
Florida has passed New York in population to claim the rank of the USA's No. 3 state,
with almost 20 million residents; California remains the most populous state, followed
by Texas, while North Carolina surged ahead of Michigan as No. 9 and North Dakota
passed Alaska for 47th place [fracking]. Also, PA DREW CLOSER TO ILLINOIS IN
POPULATION. {Note that 526 Vets Died at VA Hospitals Due to Mistakes Since 2010.}
The Leftie-Media remains problematic, often subtly; for example, POLITICO photos of the year carry a
typically-lib orientation *with the few Rs included portrayed in an unattractive fashion+. Non-News
Programming was the Only Bright Spot In CNNs Worst Primetime Demo-Year Ever, and The New
Republic is relaunching with new voices and experts; in follow-up of another journalistic scandal, the
Columbia Journalism School will Give Rolling Stone's UVa Rape Story An Independent Review. Finally,
another example of the failure of Narrative Journalism emerged, noting how the HuffPo Blew the Story
of Last Nights Police Shooting [vide infra]; note also that the Huffington Post is Dumping AP and
Launching Total Redesign in 2015.
634

BHOs Scandal-Sheet continues to be clarified, as it has been documented that IRS

employees were biased against conservatives [and, now, it remains to be seen if
anything will be linkable to BHO] and that Fast & Furious Crime Scene Photos were
Ordered Released [with Sharyl Attkisson having provided a time-line of her research].
{Also, note that Obamas nominee for a Pentagon post was implicated in alleged theft of
CIA documents (the still-classified Panetta Review of the CIAs Enhanced
Interrogation).}
Regarding Illegals, as predicted, FACEBOOK PAGES NEAR TEXAS BORDER ARE SELLING FAKE US BIRTH
CERTIFICATES and a NEW WAVE of ILLEGALS is POURING INTO SHELTERS; more Illegal Aliens from Other
Nations Crossing Southern Border than Mexicans, as a US court dismissed immigration lawsuit against
Obama (c/o BHO-appointee Beryl Howell). Meanwhile, the U.S. will Accept 10,000 Syrian Refugees
annually [from about 350]; during the last fiscal year, the U.S. took in nearly 20,000 Iraqis and more than
7,000 Somalis.
Regarding Cuba, as predicted, a Police Group [The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)]
Blasted Obama for promoting Cuba Dtente Without Cop Killer Extradition, demanding
that any normalization with the Communist regime be conditioned upon the immediate
return of several cop killers currently enjoying asylum there.
Regarding the culture-wars, The Pope Listed 15 'Ailments of Curia' [with obvious societal correlates], as
a Muhlenberg Poll Showed a Big Jump in Support [62%] for Same-Sex Marriage in Pennsylvania; this
illustrates, again why it is desirable for the GOP to abandon this concern, consonant with acceptance of
the Log Cabin Republicans (of which Im the temporary-chair, notwithstanding the fact that Im
heterosexual).
The Military Times newspaper 9th annual survey of ~2300 active-duty service members
found that Obamas popularity never high to begin with has crumbled, falling from
35% in 2009 to just 15% this year, while his disapproval ratings have increased to 55%
from 40% over that time.
CBO Chief Elmendorf will be replaced after conservative lawmakers expressed the desire to change how
the CBO calculates the costs of government and to introduce dynamic scoring [the idea that policy
changes can induce significant macroeconomic effects, such as tax cuts partially paying for themselves]
to CBO analysis; he is also the guy who revised the cost of ObamaDontCare so that it would not
exceed $1-Trillion after BHO met with him. There are Five Reasons Why Gruber Deserved Three
Pinocchios; Grubers claim that he was concerned the federal government might not set up an
ObamaDontCare exchange makes no sense, an observation ignored by the WaPo.
A new Gun Safety PSA Encourages Kids to Steal Parents Guns, Turn Them in at School,
an effort that has been rebutted by noting the folly of abstract politics.
Regarding [Reverse-]Racism, Mark LEVIN noted that the WAR ON COPS constitutes an EFFORT by
BHO/AG-Holder TO NATIONALIZE LOCAL POLICE; BILL KRISTOL observed that OBAMA has SET RACE
RELATIONS BACK, while CHARLIE RANGEL morphed the situation predictably: FORGET COPS CONCERNS,
FOR WE NEED MORE GUN CONTROL. And, not to be outdone, the NYT called for prosecution of Dick
Cheney. {Also, note that the NYPD KILLER STOLE the GUN USED IN 2011 CRIME.}
635

Last night, a White officer shot and killed a black man in suburban St. Louis after the
Teen 'pulled gun' [as per a VIDEO]; thereafter, Explosives and bricks were hurled at
officers in new protests, Firefighters were targeted in drive-by shooting; 1 hurt, and a
CUNY EDITOR CALLED FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST WHITE SUPREMACIST STATE. Law
enforcement demonstrated its been intimidated *Oakland Police: We Cant Protect You,
We Need to Monitor the Protesters and JUDGE CUT LOOSE GANG MEMBER DESPITE
THREAT TO COPS], while Support for police surged across USA.
In NYC, Mayor Bill de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bill Bratton ordered that officers make no arrests
Tuesday night, despite protesters having violated the law [e.g., hurling bottles at police].

The easiest way to track whats happening in the Middle East is to consult the Alliance Tracker, which
helps to explain myriad headlines [TALIBAN THREATENING AFGHAN DISTRICTS SECURED BY US and State
Dept. Offers $5 Million Bounty for Jihadist It Released]; it is noted that ISIS stepped-up recruitment of
children for battle. Of particular concern is what the Kurds are facing-down [Kurdish fighters face
resistance from IS in Iraq] as revelations of atrocities by the Islamic State abound [ISIS Published Punitive
Rules Christians Must Follow in Return For Their Lives Under Caliphate; Grisly finds in Iraqi Yazidi village
wrested from militants; Works to 'excise women from public life'; Abducted Yazidi women and girls 'kill
themselves to escape sex slavery']; ISIS has even Executed 100 Foreign "Deserters" due to Flagging
morale, desertion and factionalism, which are starting to affect the Islamic State.
"Morale isn't falling - it's hit the ground," said an opposition activist from ISIScontrolled areas of Syria. "Foreign fighters who thought they were on an adventure are
now exhausted."
An activist well known to the Financial Times said he had verified 100 executions of
foreign ISIS fighters trying to flee the Syrian city of Raqqa, ISIS' de facto capital.
636

"After the fall of Mosul in June, ISIS was presenting itself as unstoppable and it was
selling a sense of adventure," a U.S. official said.
He added that the dynamics have changed since the U.S. launched air strikes in
August and helped break the momentum of the ISIS advance, which has helped stem
the flow of foreign recruits.
Activists in ISIS-held parts of Syria said many fighters in Raqqa were angry about being
sent to Koban, a Kurdish town near the Syrian border with Turkey that has become a
focal point for coalition strikes.
According to a Dec. 7 report by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, ISIS lost
1,400 fighters in 80 days of fighting.
That this Islamic-Theocracy is a global phenomenon is illustrated by noting that a Third vehicle attack
was perpetrated on French pedestrians in three days; as a result, FRANCE IS ON ALERT AFTER ISOLATED
MUSLIM ATTACKS KILL CITIZENS and 1000 SOLDIERS WERE DEPLOYED ON FRENCH STREETS TO COMBAT
CHRISTMAS TERROR ATTACKS. {Recall that certain neighborhoods in Paris are not entered by the police.}
The Islamic State claimed to have shot-down a coalition warplane over Syria and captured its Jordanian
pilot, but the Jordan jet was not shot-down by the Islamic State, per the US military.
In America, a Brandeis Pro-Israel Leader is Under Threat by Progressive Activists
following his exposure of a fellow student who expressed support for the violent
execution of two New York City police officers. Yet, Smith College's President apologized
for saying all lives matter, rather than just black lives; she claimed the hurt and insult
were viewed as unbearable.
The most-recent Daily Alerts [Tuesday and Wednesday] are replete with juicy-data, although not
focused on Israeli politics; thus, before delving into updating the Arab War against Israel, it is desirable
to note a few political events. Seismic has been the disputed claim that Netanyahu has been disqualified
for the party primary by the Likud comptroller; the prime ministers only challenger for party leader is
MK Danny Danon *who is, if anything, more right-wing than is BB noting, for example, his stances of
9/2011 while standing with Rick Perry @ the U.N.], noting that MK-Moshe Feiglin dropped-out of the
Likud leadership race. Meanwhile, as Israel police revealed a huge political corruption investigation, the
parties are shuffling and positioning [Yisrael Beytenu remains defiant despite corruption probe;
Liberman declared himself the pragmatic national camp; Liberman Called for Jewish Expulsions to
Pacify EU; Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennetts vision for the future is disturbing to the JPost].
An article that lamented the fact that Israeli liberals and democrats feel alienated from
their government, claiming the upcoming elections could mend that rift prompted me
to provide counterpoint:
I share the sentiments of the critics of this piece, for it fails to confront
the lefties ([either the neighbor or the author) with the fact that prior
non-Likud policies had failed...miserably...and almost placed the
country in an indefensible spot. Perhaps that vacuum could be filled by
a response from this regular-contributor to Tablet ... here, in the
637

Comments. It would be therapeutic, perhaps, for reality to be

confronted, and all those who were wrong to expiate their sins [e.g.,
not believing what the Arabs have consistently said/written/done];
they should reformulate and then decide whether simply to vanish
thereafter.
Not surprisingly, no reply has been forthcoming.
When assessing the politics of how BHO is attempting to manipulate the Israeli elections, it is
desirable to note the extensive history of this phenomenon [Obama stops faking Israel policy]; in this
regard, it is necessary to appreciate the fact that the Obama team, including then-Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton, made clear that they were opposed to settlement activity even in areas that President
George W. Bush, in his letter to Ariel Sharon in 2004 had effectively conceded would remain part of
Israel if a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians were reached. This letter, unfortunately,
contains a problematic policy unapproved by Congress *The United States supports the establishment
of a Palestinian state that is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent+, for this would necessitate
bisecting Israel; that this is unnecessary in any final-status ruminations is exemplified by how the two
most recently admitted states are not contiguous [and Hawaii is separated by a body-of-water].
Even the most superficial analysis of Israels military challenges makes it clear, once
again, that there must be a strong IDF presence in all of Judea and Samaria; note, also
that the David's Sling Air Defense System (being developed) can Intercept Warheads
over Enemy Territory. Hezbollah is building-up a Golan terror infrastructure;
Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz said that, by threatening Israels security situation at
the border with Israel, Hamas risks a comprehensive military operation that will involve
full demolition of its military and government infrastructure alike.
Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood want to assume control over the West Bank and Jordan, and have
sought support from Iran to pursue this enterprise; the failure of the reconciliation talks with the PA in
Ramallah stemmed from Hamas's insistence on being a Muslim Brotherhood movement and not a
national Palestinian one *notwithstanding the Sunni/Shiite divide+. It is felt that this has resulted from
Hamas being squeezed by Egypt [which is systematically destroying the tunnels from Sinai into Gaza and
is planning to build a moat that will flood the tunnels to finally seal off Gaza from Egypt]; economically,
Gaza has lost its oxygen supply from Sinai. Meanwhile, the Continued Standoff between Hamas and
Fatah Delays Gaza Reconstruction and Pledged Gaza Funds Stay Undelivered.
Minister of Defense Moshe Yaalon indicated that Hamas is rebuilding defensive
tunnels [constructed inside of Gaza, allowing terrorist fighters to move about in a safe
underground environment, transfer weapons from one location to another, etc.], not
offensive tunnels [built under the south of Israel for purposes of direct attack]; this
is a distinction without a difference. Reassurances notwithstanding, residents in the
south of Israel are concerned about signs of excavation right adjacent to the border.
Two attacks from Gaza have been explained-away by asserting they were carried out by renegade
elements not connected with Hamas, despite the fact that the region is controlled tightly by Hamas.;
specifically, after a rocket was launched from Gaza into the Eshkol region of Israel on Friday, Israel
retaliated with a hit on a cement factory in Khan Yunis in the south of Gaza. But when sniper fire
seriously wounded one IDF soldiera member of the Bedouin Reconnaissance Battalionreturn fire by
638

Israel succeeded in taking down Tayseer al-Ismary, head of the surveillance unit in Hamas's Al-Qassam
Brigades and wounding two other members of Hamas.
It is desirable to note that the entire Russian economy is equivalent to the net-worth of
Google; RUSSIA IN FULL-FLEDGED ECONOMIC CRISIS as Inflation zoomed past 10%;
Putin capped vodka prices amid economic crisis and Apple Halted Online Sales in Russia
as Ruble Plummeted. Meanwhile, RUSSIA FINALIZED A NEW ECONOMIC ALLIANCE WITH
FOUR EX-SOVIET STATES. ,Note that another friend of the USA, Venezuela, is on brink
of financial collapse, as oil prices plummet .}

https://www.scribd.com/doc/250747218/Thoughts-LXXXIII-Compilation-anti-Semitism-ComprehensiveOverview-Red-State-Cruz
Illustrating the sad-fact that anti-Semitism continues to exist, a patient isnt coming for todays ChemoRx because he is currently reporting to the police that the following occurred overnight [in Bucks
County]; this is one of a series of events that he has attempted to report to city/state Human Rights
Commissions [alas, to no avail]:

Also overnight, incremental-updates of points summarized in yesterdays Blast e-mails have already
emerged and are categorized accordingly; also, another set of Blast e-mails has been compiled,
thereby updating the summary thereof.
These Blast e-mails have addressed international affairs [focused on Kurdistan, and
increasingly on how BHO is trying to displace BB], national affairs [focused on the
midterms, and now on POTUS-16+, and statewide affairs *focused on Corbett, and now
on whether the GOP can advance its agenda despite its being rented by unions+.
Composed since Memorial Day, 2013, they has been compiled in three sets: [1]AntiBHO e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV] remitted during the first
half-year *focused on BHOs Scandal-Sheet and the effort to defund ObamaDontCare
(spotlighting Cruz)]; [2]Action-Items e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII,
XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX
and XXX] remitted from December-13 through September-14 *focused initially on
Guzzardi and morphed into analyzing myriad other issues related to BHOs overall
effortsdomestic and globalto destroy American Exceptionalism]; and [3]
Thoughts e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, and VIII] composed during the past few months
[attempting to ID info being ignored by the Media]. {They now total 4423 pages [1051
Anti-BHO + 2492 Action-Items + 630 Thoughts+.-

640

Aggregating the hyperlinks from todays RedState pieces *and quoting one of them in-toto] provides a
snapshot of what BHO has accomplished during the past almost-six years.
When the American President Hates America
Barack Obama does not like the United States. There was a lot of truth when his wife
said that for the first time she was proud of her country. The Obamas see the United
States as a corrupt and bullying power that needs to be humbled.
No one seeks to fundamentally transform something they love.
And let us now consider that fundamental transformation.
Russia has invaded and taken over Crimea. ISIS stretches across the Middle East
beheading Americans. North Korea now demands we seek its permission before we
watch movies. Police officers are being gun downed in New York to the applause of
Obama voters. And 36 Cubans were just executed by Cuba in celebration of its new
found relationship with the United States.
This is how Barack Obama has fundamentally transformed America. Through word and
deed he has pitted neighbor against neighbor, given hostile powers tacit permission to
invade their neighbors, and through rhetoric and license to others created a situation
where Americans cheer police officers being gunned down.
His historic legacy will be this: he led his countrymen and the world to turn away from
their better angels.
We are less safe at home and abroad as a result. But the Presidents golf game goes
uninterrupted and his congress remains neutered and in fear of being disliked.
One does not seek to fundamental transform things one loves.
Obamas foreign policy enters 12-step program
President Obamas Asinine Abdication of Responsibility on Iraq
Obama sends 1,000 paratroopers to Iraq to provide advice
Leon Panetta: Obama to blame for Iraq mess
Collectivism and the presumption of guilt
Mark Kirk: Rand Paul And Ted Cruz Running For President Would Hurt IL GOP
2014 Enhanced Republican Morale
Rep. Hal Rogers Is Attempting To Commit Legislative Suicide
More ISIS Barbarism: This Time its Church Desecration
Sarah Palin & Ted Cruz: The Two Most Powerful People on Earth
Obama very concerned about murder of NYC cops
This is why we need the NSA
Why I vote Democrat
Democratic Women: Who Let the Dogs Out?
POTUS-16. Cruz is the best, thus far [noting that BHO Fears President Cruz Will Overturn Exec
Amnesty], pending more thorough education regarding Walker [noting that the battle-lines in the GOPs
641

Civil-War (Wall St. and K St. vs. Main St.) persist]; throughout, people must not be led to fear electing
Republicans will remove food from their tables. Meanwhile, Hillary said to have been pained by the
consequences of Israel's actions, just not publicly. 'I can tell you that privately she has expressed
empathy for the Palestinians.' WINNING WHITE HOUSE RACE WILL COST $1 BILLION and The Deep South
is trying to game the GOP primary; meanwhile, the US Chamber reported Rand Paul is Aggressively
Courting it, while the New TIME magazine ran an article about 2016 top political front runners that
skipped Cruz.

Sony. Because both Sony and BHO have wimped-out, it is necessary to ensure the broadest possible
audience can be exposed to this movie. A Federal Security Unit Warned Sony Malware Could Spread
and, as N-KOREA THREATENED STRIKES ON WHITE HOUSE & PENTAGON, Hustlers Larry Flynt
announced a plan to Produce The Interview Porn Spoof: Wait Till They See the Movie Were Going to
Make. Meanwhile, Mike Myers Returned to SNL as Dr. Evil [the finger-gnawing, kitten-petting villain
from the Austin Powers movies] to Mock North Korea and the Sony Hacks; he claimed North Korea's
alleged hack of Sony is giving "evil organizations a bad name" and worked-in self-deprecation *If North
Korea really wants "to put a bomb in a theater, do what I did; put in The Love Guru."].
AG-Kane and Blogging. AG-Kane is in big-trouble. Also, one news-item [Not just tolls: E-Z Pass keeping
eye on speeders] prompted me to wonder-aloud if Penn-DOT could issue a ticket simply by noting the
time-differential between entering/leaving the turnpike [and then determining the average speed that
had been maintained. The national press reported that a grand jury convened by Philadelphia District
Attorney Seth Williams has indicted two Democratic state legislators for accepting bribes in exchange
for voting against a voter ID bill, among other legislative actions. *The grand jury findings also represent
a withering rejection of the unjustifiable behavior of Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, who
shut down the three-year investigation that caught state Democratic legislators on video and audio
tapes taking bribes. Williams stepped in and successfully prosecuted the case.+ Also, Turzai estimated
selling state liquor system could net $1B, so one would hope this could be accomplished ASAP.

642

BHO. Libs feel hes emboldened, but it is possible that efforts of the Senate to influence the Foreign
Policy agenda as it relates to Cuba could redound effectively on the impetus to guide BHO on Iran. The
Reasons Behind Obama's Failures; once the fantasy wore off, reality set in and. for liberals, reality is
often bad news.
The Dem Agenda. Dems are ambitious, but U.S. Partisanship Shifted to GOP After Midterms. FDA
Doesnt Want Kids Playing with Light-sabers.
Illegals. Efforts to legitimize the millions of Illegals granted amnesty by BHO are not only aggressive, but
are being portrayed as irreversible; thus, those Rs who rationalized procrastination *until we gain
control over the senate+ will now be confronted with the prospect of doing precisely what had been
envisioned by Ted Cruz in 13 regarding ObamaDontCarenamely, refusing to fund the DHS unless all
support for implementing this program have been expunged. 'Homeland' figures show illegal
immigration rose in 2014 while deportations dropped, as Illegal Aliens Search to Find Ways to Prove
Residency.
Reverse-Racism. Just as BHO/AG-Holder excised reference to Islamic Terrorism *or Theocracy+ from
the FBI manual, the DOJ is to issue New 'Profiling' Guidance that Adds 'Off-Limits' Categories So Police
Don't Patrol for Women & Minorities; meanwhile, people are offing the police *blue lives are
important, too+, with the most recent in NYC being a black Islamist *fits the profile+. The DE BLASIO
RIFT WITH COPS HAS INTENSIFIED, as it was revealed that the NYPD Assassin Held Radical Islamic Views
and May Have Attended Same Mosque As AQ Fundraiser and WTC Bomber [noting that Ismaaiyl Brinsley
Told Bystanders Watch What Im Going to Do]; Another is in Custody Over Threat to Kill Cops and a
NYPD OFFICERS ARM was BROKEN IN PRECINCT HOUSE ATTACK. SHERIFF ARPAIO PREDICTED WAR ON
POLICE: IM AFRAID ITS GOING TO SPREAD ACROSS THE NATION as Second Graders Held StudentSponsored Ferguson Protest; Tony Phyrillis observed, Talk about bad timing; on the same day 2 NYC
police officers were executed, these protesters attempted to disrupt last-minute Christmas shoppers at
the King of Prussia Mall.
CIA. Evidence abounds that enhanced interrogation has been useful.
Guns. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy pledged to MAKE GUNS 'A HEALTHCARE ISSUE'; also, the Sixth
Circuit ruled that a Mental Health Gun Ban Is Unconstitutional. The Tea Party Is a Movement Now, Not
Just a Mood; as a result, the Empire is trying to strike-back in the ongoing GOP civil-war, as Sen. Mike
Lee [a Tea-partier] braces for primary challenge from establishment.
Culture Wars. Liberalism is running amok, particularly regarding sexual-politics. The Academic Left
Unleashed Fury at Conservative Marquette [tenured] Professor [John McAdams] because
he criticized Cheryl Abbate, a junior instructor in philosophy at Marquette; she had refused to discuss
same-sex marriage in an ethics class and later, in a secretly-recorded conversation with a student,
compared opposition to same-sex marriage to racism and other forms of bigotry [telling the student
that, if he didnt like it, he should get out of her class]. He was suspended because Liberal academics say
McAdams harassed Abbate by mentioning her in his blog, Marquette Warrior. {Also note that the King of
Common Core, Pearson, Closed its Charitable Foundation Amid Legal Troubles.}

Subject: Thoughts - LXXXV - [Middle East, Dr. Mads Gilbert, GitMo, POTUS-'16, Iggles]

https://www.scribd.com/doc/250991640/Thoughts-LXXXV-Middle-East-Dr-Mads-Gilbert-GitMo-POTUS16-Iggles
I hadnt planned to remit another Blast e-mail today, but a few points centering on the Middle East
merit scrutiny, mostly inspired by review of todays Daily Alert; definable critique and action-items are
easily deduced therefrom, enhanced by awareness that prior essays published with Dr. Sherkoh Abbas
are consistently corroborated [Kurdistan is More Like Israel, Less Like Iraq].
In follow-up of the prior colloquy, it was argued that Rapprochement with Cuba makes
sense; my view remains that [just as occurred with DeSean Jackson], America got
nothing for having provided multiple irreversible/visceral concessions. And, as this
relates to GitMo, those who wish to release prisoners-of-war must confront the fact
that 30 PERCENT OF TERRORISTS RELEASED GO BACK INTO FIGHT. {Also, U.S. Paid $3.2
Million to American Alan Gross Held Five Years by Cuba as settlement of a contractual
claim for $7 million filed by his firm [DAI] against USAID for incurred expenses.}
Regarding POTUS-16, the following constitutes a set of excerpts from Politico {plus annotation}:
The Bush-Clinton concept is being promoted [despite the claim that Americans profess
to reject dynasties] for, in politics it is argued they're quite comfortable with familiar
names which suggest competence at a time of dysfunction [which can then bring a
candidate instant brand recognition, important fund-raising connections and a ready
network of political contacts]. {This is the lib-line, as Rush predicted.}
Political Manifestos Coming in 2015: Marco Rubio, "American Dreams: Restoring
Economic Opportunity for Everyone," Jan. 15 ... Mike Huckabee, "God, Guns, Grits and
Gravy," Jan. 20 ... Ben Carson, "You Have a Brain: A Teen's Guide to THINK BIG," Feb. 3 ...
Carly Fiorina, "Times of Challenge, Moments of Grace," May 5 ... Ted Cruz (untitled),
May 12 ... Rand Paul, "Taking A Stand: Moving Beyond Partisan Politics to Unite
America," June 2 ... Jeb Bush (e-book), early 2015. {All quite trite.}
RICK PERRY HINTED AT 2016 RUN. ,This will not survive the Cruz-Missile directed @
anti-Semites [vide infra].}
Jeb may not be ready for a rapid-response, Twitter-driven modern campaign. {So much
the better.}
Splintering of white evangelical Christians may provide an opening for a more centrist
candidate to win the Republican nomination. {This is why I hope Cruz can solidify their
support early, for they have professed a desire to endorse early to avoid the very
eventuality sketched-out in this piece.}
OBAMA visited a patchwork of congregations 19 times since taking office [6% of the
Sundays of his presidency]. ,Provided in the holiday spirit.647

{If GOP N.Y. Rep. Michael Grimm is expelled for having been convicted *sentencing isnt
for -year, for some reason], a Special Election would be held; with a scandal damaging
the GOP incumbent, Democrats are drooling over the prospect of picking up the seat.}
In follow-up of the Iggles-loss, note the column/comments *including mine+ in todays Inqy. [Three days
that shaped Eagles season] are consistent with sentiments compiled yesterday. {Anyone who played
Chinese Checkers [a half-century ago, as I did] will want to sample [and become enlightened by] how the
puter has dramatically altered the dynamics of the game [allowing for symmetrical-jumps rather than
merely contiguous ones]; this expands the conceptualization of the playing-field.}
EU rejected setting up task force on anti-Semitism because it knows what the problem is
and who is causing it; the last thing it wants to do is to deal with it [such as to recognize
the correlation of Frances disastrous Anti-Semitic Nightmare with the rise in Muslim
immigration.
Again, the Daily Alert eschews discussion of politics, so it should be recognized that, although he has
dropped-out of the race, MK Moshe Feiglin has compiled his Knesset Record in preparation for being on
the list for re-election; meanwhile, noting the shocking-risk that BB may not be its leader, the
possibility has been raised that Right-Wingers [specifically, it seems, Danny Danon] will find it easier to
Come Home to the [traditional] Likud. What must be factored-in, here, is the degree to which BB had
to bend to accommodate the outer-reaches of BHOs private mandates and, thus, I hope that Israelis will
support BB; nevertheless, it is predictable that articles such as that to-follow will be published in an
effort to sway voters against his being provided the mandate to form a conservative coalition
government.
According to Leftie-Haaretz, Benjamin Netanyahu is [allegedly] already reconciled to a
divided Jerusalem. Five Jerusalem neighborhoods remained on the other side of the
fence the Shoafat refugee camp, the neighborhoods of Ras Khamis, Ras Shehadeh,
Hashalom neighborhood and Kafr Akeb that are homes to tens of thousands,
between one-quarter and one-third of all Palestinian residents of the city. They were
left in a no-mans land in which the Israeli authorities, chief among them the
municipality and the police, do not set foot. Anarchy reigns, and the only Israelis who
enter do so in armored jeeps and wearing full body armor. Even the most basic services
are not provided to this area, from regular running water and garbage collection to law
enforcement.
THE ISLAMIC STATE Prepares to Attack Israel in North and South Pincer Movement - With THE ISLAMIC
STATE continuing to hold the upper hand in Syria and Iraq, it appears that the terrorist network is
planning what military strategists call a pincer movement to attack the Israeli homeland from the north
and south. Three Syrian rebel groups switched loyalties to gain THE ISLAMIC STATE support for attacks
on the Israeli occupied Golan Heights, according to a report by the Fiscal Times. THE ISLAMIC STATE is
now able to coordinate with Egyptian THE ISLAMIC STATE-aligned terror group Ansar Bait al-Maqdis in
Sinai to simultaneously pressure Israels northern and southern borders.
A Western [German] Journalist Embedded With THE ISLAMIC STATE Said 14 Americans
[both American-born and Arab-Americans as well as white] are the strongest group I
ever met [and I have seen many wars+; they are very clever, very enthusiastic, and
648

extremely brutal. Not just head-cutting. I'm talking about the strategy of religious
cleansing. That's their official philosophy. They are talking about 500 million people who
have to die. The guy from New Jersey. This surprised me. You don't expect someone
from N.J. going to join the Islamic State.'
Iran:
Iran Army Staged a Massive Military Drill [code-named "Mohammad, the Messenger of God"] to
display the country's military prowess. The exercises will cover an area of 2.2 million square km.,
stretching from east of the Strait of Hormuz to north of the Indian Ocean. Participating in the drill, the
largest of its kind, are different ground units, fighter jets and air defense systems, as well as surface and
submarine vessels deployed in the Sea of Oman. Brig.-Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said the army wants to
convey a message of peace and friendship to neighboring states through this military drill.
Iranian Conspiracy Theory: Israeli Settlements in Iraq? - In a conspiracy theory fit for the
Ayatollah, Iran's Fars News Agency reported that Israeli businessmen are buying properties in Islamic
State-held areas of northern Iraq for eventual Jewish settlement. Fars claimed that more than 2000 Jews
have already settled in Iraq's Kurdistan region.
The Islamic State:
The Caliphate in the Eyes of Islam
The Islamic State is implementing sharia (Islamic law) to the letter - the same sharia which is taught in
schools and academic institutions throughout the Muslim world.

The harsh penalties inflicted on sinners, from stoning women to crucifying and beheading infidels, are
part of that teaching.
For example, sharia-based textbooks tell of the revered military commander Khaled Ben Walid, who
killed the leader of a tribe which had renounced Islam, cut off his head, threw it in a boiling cauldron
and ate it.
Surveys in Saudi Arabia showed that 92% of Saudis approved the way of IS. This is what they were
taught at school and this is what they hear in the Friday sermons from the mosques.

In Egypt, President Sisi has declared that the more extreme expressions of the sharia should be amended.
Acting upon his instructions, in June the Egyptian Education Ministry canceled the course of Islamic
education being taught in schools; moral values were added to a new textbook. This important step did
not receive the recognition it deserved in the West.
Islamic State Recruits Entire Families - Siddhartha Dhar's
he, his wife, and their children have arrived in Syria to live in
have encouraged doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, and
institutions of a new nation ruled by Islamic sharia law. Entire
that have surprised and alarmed analysts.

first four children were born in London. Now

an Islamic caliphate. Islamic State's leaders
accountants to join them in building the
families have answered that call in numbers

"These families believe they are doing the right thing for their children," said Melanie Smith, a research
associate at the King's College International Center for the Study of Radicalization in London. "They think
they are taking them to a kind of utopia." Analysts estimate that at least 15,000 people have moved to
the Islamic State, including several thousand from Western countries.
Islamic State uses family imagery in its highly polished online recruiting, including videos showing
fighters pushing children on swings and passing out toys. However, recent reports from Syria and Iraq
suggest that in Islamic State areas, people are enduring painful shortages of electricity, food, medicine
and clean water.
Hamas/Gaza:

649

Hamas is Rebuilding Military Positions and forward command posts in northern Gaza, since the end of
the Gaza war. Israelis in Netiv HaAsara have spotted newly-built dirt hills, fortifications, and ramps
adorned with green Hamas flags several hundred meters from their homes in the area of the former
Israeli settlement of Nisanit, which was dismantled in 2005.
Hamas Knows that Gazans Do Not Want Another War - Despite occasional statements to the media
that war is preferable to the current stalemate, Gazans cannot bear the thought of another round of
warfare. Hamas authorities are well aware of this, so they have no current political or tactical interest in
war. Contrary to the statements of high-ranking Hamas officials, they do not have enough weaponry to
face off against Israel's army. Moreover, they cannot afford to act in complete opposition to the will of the
vast majority in Gaza. After their dismal failure to make any political gains at all via the last war (or during
the talks for its conclusion), they will have difficulty promising that another war will lead to political and
economic improvement and lifting the embargo - things that the previous war did not accomplish.
Judea/Samaria:
IDF Seized Guns [automatic weapons and handguns] and Pipe Bombs in Nablus [Samaria] and
Four Palestinian Arabs Carrying Pipe Bombs were Arrested near Jenin.
"The PA Has Money. Look at the Fancy Cars They Drive to the Villas They Build" - Mariam
Barghouti, 20, is a Palestinian American studying at Bir-Zeit University. Last April she spent a day in jail
after throwing stones at Israeli soldiers during a violent demonstration at the village of Nebi Saleh. Last
week, the New York Times published an op-ed by Barghouti, who tells us that "the West Bank has seen a
steep rise in economic growth since 2010....There is prosperity - for some....[B]ut for most, the struggle
to make ends meet has become more and more arduous." She quotes a Ramallah cab-driver who tells
her: "The PA has money. Look around you, it's everywhere: the fancy cars they drive to the villas they
build." Lest we forget, it was Mahmoud Abbas who fired the one man who might have put things right in
the economic sphere, former Palestinian prime minister and U.S.-trained economist Salam Fayyad.
Palestinian Christmas Lies - Middle East Christians have been largely portrayed as caught in the middle
of a bitter war between Jews and Arabs over the Holy Land. But this is a profound misunderstanding of the
reality of the conflict. Though many Christians have been prominent Arab nationalists, their effort to
identify with the struggle against Zionism has not led to greater acceptance for Christians within
Palestinian society or the Arab and Muslim world in general. To the contrary, over the decades, the
Palestinian national movement has taken an increasingly Islamist tone. Today, an Islamist tide that has
swept through the region has made Christians an endangered minority.
The same dynamic has led to a massive exodus of Palestinian Christians from the territories. Life in
many traditionally Christian towns like Bethlehem has been made increasingly untenable for non-Muslims.
By contrast, Israel remains the one nation in the region where Christian rights and those of all religions
are respected.
[Related: Do Middle Eastern Christians Have Any Chance of Survival?]
Israel:
Israeli Photographer "Horrified" at Use of [a small child's] Bloody Shoe Photo that was widely
shared [on Twitter and Facebook] in the wake of a Taliban attack on a school in Pakistan; it is not recent,
for Israeli photographer Edi Israel took the photo in Ashkelon in May 2008 after a rocket fired by
Palestinians in Gaza struck a shopping mall, injuring dozens.
Operation in the Field Saved Wounded Soldier's Life - IDF doctors and medics saved the life of a
Bedouin reconnaissance battalion soldier who was seriously wounded by Palestinian sniper fire on
Wednesday at the Gaza border. The bullet penetrated the soldier's upper body from the side and caused
severe bleeding in his chest cavity. When the brigade doctor realized that only immediate treatment in the
field could help regularize the soldier's pulse, he decided to perform surgery on the spot and drain the
blood that accumulated in his chest.
The surgery was done while IDF tanks and Air Force aircraft were returning fire at the source of the
sniper fire. An IAF rescue helicopter landed at the scene of the shooting and the soldier was evacuated to

650

Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba. Officers in the Medical Corps said the doctor "made the right
decisions on the spot that unequivocally saved the soldier's life."
Israel to Halt Gas-Mask Production Due to Decline in Chemical Weapon Threat
Intel to Produce Next-Generation Computer Chips in Israel, having promised to spend at least $550
million in Israel in the next five years, part of a commitment by the company to spend $6 billion to
upgrade its Kiryat Gat plant for the manufacture of new advanced chips for its next generation devices.
While Israel is providing the company with grants of $600 million over the next five years as well as a
major tax break through 2023, Intel committed to hiring at least 1000 new employees.
"This arrangement will have a very positive effect on hundreds of small businesses and suppliers," said
Ziva Eiger, director of investments at the ministry's Industrial Cooperation Authority. "As a result of this
agreement, Israelis can look forward to thousands of more jobs being available."
Intel Israel CEO Mooly Eden said, "Last year, Intel Israel was responsible for more than 9% of Israel's
tech exports." Intel already employs 10,000 workers in Israel, with over 30,000 Israelis working at
companies that provide products and services to Intel.

Editor,
As medical doctors, we note with dismay the recognition by your newspaper of Dr.
Mads Gilbert as "person of the year" for 2014. The description of Dr. Gilbert's activities
is dangerously distorted, making the award highly problematic.
In particular we are concerned about his exploitation of medical frameworks for
promoting a personal political agenda. As doctors, we are profoundly aware of the
fundamental principle of medicine to "first do no harm," but Dr. Gilbert violates this
obligation on many occasions.
In July 2014, Dr. Gilbert co-authored a highly disturbing "Open Letter for the People
in Gaza" in The Lancet medical journal. Published during a very difficult war for both
sides, this letter sought to legitimize aggression by the Hamas terror group, called for
boycotts against Israel, and presented a highly distorted version of events, including
erasing 4560 rockets and mortars launched against Israelis each a war crime. The
language of this letter can be seen as constituting incitement and support for violence,
and was denounced by numerous physicians who opposed this exploitation of the
medical profession by Dr. Gilbert and his colleagues.
Furthermore, two of Gilbert's co-authors (Paola Manduca and Swee Ang Chai) were
revealed to be promoting a viciously anti-Semitic video by American neo-Nazi David
Duke. The Lancets editor, Richard Horton, belatedly declared that he was horrified to
discover that two co-authors of the letter had forwarded a vile and offensive video. The
clearly anti-Semitic worldview expressed in that video is abhorrent and deserves
universal condemnation. Yet, Gilbert has remained silent. For a man intensely vocal in

651

support of his opinions on politics and morality, this silence in the face of ugly hate and
racism among his colleagues speaks volumes.
Gilberts selective morality is further seen in his activities in Gaza during the war,
when he acted, in effect, as a visible spokesperson for Hamas. In his own words, Dr.
Gilbert makes it very clear that he is primarily a radical political activist, rather than a
medical one. In 2009, he told the Haaretz newspaper that We are not neutral. We
chose medical work in Gaza, not Sderot.
He used the premises of the al Shifa hospital for numerous media interviews while
terror rockets were launched at Israeli civilians from nearby. According to many sources,
this facility was also the headquarters of the Hamas leadership directing attacks against
Israeli civilians, in blatant violation of international law. Yet, in all his political
pronouncements, Gilbert has never referred to these highly visible illegal and immoral
activities taking place in the same hospital.
These radical views supporting terrorism come as no surprise, bearing in mind
Gilberts declarations justifying the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and
Washington, D.C. that murdered over 3,000 people. Justification of such inhuman acts
of violence, clearly war crimes as intentional attacks on civilians, in contrast to
accidental damage from attacks on military targets, is entirely inconsistent with the
moral obligations of a doctor.
Like any other citizen, Dr. Gilbert is free to voice his opinions, however extreme and
disturbing they may be. But, in these and other examples, when he exploits the medical
profession to justify terrible violence, this becomes a serious moral problem. And since
funding for these campaigns is provided by Norwegian taxpayers, through NORWAC
the Norwegian Aid Committee -- they are indirectly contributing to the destructive
exploitation of medical and humanitarian frameworks.
We are also aware of publicly available reports regarding manipulation of the selection
process for the award, though we cannot confirm this.
With all this information made available here to your readers, reconsideration of the
award would send a powerful moral message.

Subject: Thoughts LXXXVI {Compilation, Theocratic Islamic Terrorism, [Reverse-]Racism}

https://www.scribd.com/doc/251052830/Thoughts-LXXXVI-Compilation-Theocratic-Islamic-TerrorismReverse-Racism
Dined inter alia with my son last night [recalling the propensity of Jews to eat Chinese on Christmas] @
Lee How Fook *in Chinatown, next to the police station+; hadnt been there in decades, but the dumpling
and the steak were just the same as Mama Chungs product *and the joint was packed, as usual, with
SRO]; during the chat, he issued claims [amplified by other participants] that will presumably be
documented, counterpointing the baseline-conservatism that he knows I harbor. Inadvertently, I used
many of the ways subsequently formulated that depict How to Beat Lefty Family Members in a
Christmas Argument [British Version]; most of them proved tangential to the points he was making.
There was a trace neither of logical-gymnastics nor of video-magic during the candidchat, excerpts from which are germane; certain points were conceded with little
fanfare, such as the fact that lefties-have-gone-wild on campus [Brandeis/Smith]
because this has become the norm.
On the other hand, he noted that there appears to be a statisticalpropensity of the Ferguson, Mo. police to issue filings against its
citizenry; for example, 4257 traffic-citations [alone] were issued to
Blacks who comprise 67.4% of the population of 15,865. Also, he quoted
heavily from the Senates Torture Report *and dismissed my concerns
that it was partisan and didnt include interviews with any authors of
the embarrassing memos].
It remains to be documented whether there is a
national racism motivation to whatever has occurred;
indeed, nothing justifies ongoing violence [e.g., Teen
[16-year-old Jawaad Jabbar ] Who Pulled Gun and
Demanded Air Jordans, Got Shot and Killed] and threats
[e.g., SIX ARRESTED IN NYC FOR THREATENING
OFFICERS AFTER NYPD COPS MURDERED]. Also, as
noted previously, there seems to be a political link
between the racial-issues and the Islamists [e.g.,
Muslim-organized event planned in Philly to protest
police brutality].
His easily-implemented remedies seemed reasonable:
Police
investigations must be performed by external personnel (rather than
by Internal Affairs) and CIA-Perps (such as those who abused
innocentsincluding a mental-incompetentto intimidate others)
must be prosecuted.
Other topics covered included, of course, the POTUS-16 competition and Walker could
become, in his view, a consensus victor (emphasizing his gubernatorial experience);
654

also, he claimed that BHO has not actually acted against Israel [beyond provocativerhetoric and Iranian-procrastination] except for the claim that the rearming of the Iron
Dome was forestalled to prompt Israel to end the Gaza incursion. Regarding the former,
I still like Cruz but would not mind Walker [for we need a Reaganesque-guy, if possible]
and there is no doubt that Establishment-types would be problematic [such as JEB, who
GOT RICH AND, THUS, is easing-out of some businesses, such as a firm helped by
Obamacare].
2014 Year in Review [c/o Gallup and the Reform Movement] reflects the bent of both entities; the
Obama Family Skipped Church On Christmas [for Obama is rarely seen in church], but advisers say his
beliefs remain strong. Sharyl Attkisson noted Belatedly-Released and Revealing Fast & Furious Docs;
'THE INTERVIEW' is a Hit with Pirates [200K Illegal Downloads in First 10 Hours], but Drudge concluded
its release reflects merely the FREEDOM TO MAKE CRAP! [Through it all, PSAKI WONT CALL SONY HACK
CYBERTERRORISM.]
These Blast e-mails have addressed international affairs [focused on Kurdistan, and
increasingly on how BHO is trying to displace BB], national affairs [focused on the
midterms, and now on POTUS-16+, and statewide affairs *focused on Corbett, and now
on whether the GOP can advance its agenda despite its being rented by unions+.
Composed since Memorial Day, 2013, they has been compiled in three sets: [1]AntiBHO e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV] remitted during the first
half-year *focused on BHOs Scandal-Sheet and the effort to defund ObamaDontCare
(spotlighting Cruz)]; [2]Action-Items e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII,
XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX
and XXX] remitted from December-13 through September-14 *focused initially on
Guzzardi and morphed into analyzing myriad other issues related to BHOs overall
effortsdomestic and globalto destroy American Exceptionalism]; and [3]
Thoughts e-mails [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX] composed during the past few
months [attempting to ID info being ignored by the Media]. {They now total 4423 pages
*1051 Anti-BHO + 2492 Action-Items + 630 Thoughts+.These are comments on the immediate-past Blast e-mail {annotated}:
The dog who danced is a photo-shopped video. Look at it carefully. {I suspected this,
but noted that it had been aired on FNC, so presumed it had been legit.}
The What 2,000 calories looks like was great. Easy to blub-up without knowing what
one is eating. {This may partially-explain why Doctors were Told To Report Overweight
Patients As Obesity Rates Soar.}
So far as Israel and Hamas Rocket Attacks, when will the world learn how to tell
murderous 9-11 aggressor-types from innocents? {Concur.}
Never, I suppose just as the Confederacy still lives in the hearts of some whack-os.
{Concur.}
So far as Cuba, its a teaching moment for Capitalism. {Concur; this has been
insufficiently noted, particularly by Lefties.}

Communism = Poverty.
Capitalism = Prosperity.
How hard is this stuff?
Capitalistic America: Full of new SUVs and expensive imports.
Communist Cuba: Full of bastardized 50 year old rubbish cars.

between aggressors and victims. {Concur.}
He sided with the protestors who burned out Ferguson. {Concur.}
See Thomas Sowells comments on Capitalism Magazine.com about the lack of stores in
Harlem because of the riots there. {On-Point.}
Some cultures lack any commercial sense. Communism suffers from that lack. So do
Liberals who think money just appears to support their well-intentioned Welfare State.
{Concur.}
Chip Kelly is a bad coach which he proved by trading DeSean Jackson because he
couldnt handle his personality; a coach who cant handle players isnt a coach at all, just
a play strategist. {Encompassed this possibility in prior analysis.}
Kelly isnt even a good strategist; time for him to go or the Iggles will miss more Super
Bowls. . {Willing to provide him benefit-of-doubt for awhile.}
Chris Christie cant win. Hes too much of an outsider to the Republicans and the
Democrats. ,Concur, yet hes also viewed favorably by the GOP-Establishment.}
So far, its Cruz. {Concur.}
Obama is so biased its not funny. {Concur.}
Hes a bi-racial who had problems adjusting when he was young when he decided not to
acknowledge his white mother because it ingratiated him to white people. {Perhaps.}
Those dysfunctional personality problems continue to baffle him; the result is a
dysfunctional President who cannot accommodate a polyglot culture like America.
{Perhaps.}
His mother and father were too caught up with sexual passion to realize the difficulties
for a bi-racial son but hes been an un-adjustable adult more than long enough to deal
with his abnormalities and to correct them. {Perhaps.}
And the consequences of his personality problems continue to plague everyone.
{Definitely, for whatever reason.}

powerful Democrat may signal trouble for Kathleen Kane, even as other Democrats publicly are
noncommittal about their support for the embattled attorney general, political analysts say; also, nearly
16% of PA's non-govt employees worked for a nonprofit in 2012. Regarding the Middle East, the Daily
Alert is chuck-full of vital-updates, while Subhuman Palestinian Arabs attacked father/daughter with
firebombs as they were driving; the latter explains why there is a desire for separate roads (with some
roads closed-off to potential-perps. {Also, note that Barzani slammed remarks of pro-Kurdish HDP
leader, senior KCK member.}

Subject: Thoughts - LXXXVII [anti-Semitism, NYC, Media-Libs, AG-Kane, Iggles]

https://www.scribd.com/doc/251274807/Thoughts-LXXXVII-anti-Semitism-NYC-Media-Libs-AG-KaneIggles
If the number of comments received reflects the number of eyeballs reading these Blast e-mails, then
the shorter ones indeed were more often read; this will, I hope, serve as an object lessonas efforts are
constantly made to strip-down these notifications to the bare-minimum [despite the plethora of infosites]. One individual conveyed a sobering Christmas Thought *The more we set our sights on happiness
via public policy, the more we are disappointed; we cannot find fulfillment through legislation+, but it
remains necessary to slog-on. Note this 79-second video [Does God Exist?] which has a surprise ending.
Perhaps it is the Holiday Spirit that prompted press-coverage of the anti-Semitic
graffiti which my patient had reported [Yardley group denounces anti-Semitic graffiti;
'HEARTBREAKING' Community surrounds victims of Lower Makefield hate crime with
love and support; Community protests potential hate crime on Lower Makefield family].
He reported that the press conference turned-out 50-plus people [including two people
from Doylestown] from all walks of life; this included the VFW, the township board of
supervisors, and clergy [3 rabbis from the area, nuns, a priest] Indeed, he said a leader
of a mosque offered to provide longitudinal support in myriad ways. He remitted a
communication he just received in response to the Heartbreaking article:
Your article resonated with me given a similar experience I had many
years ago. Below is a comment that briefly describes what happened to
me. I posted it on the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia
Facebook page that shared your article.
I would like to share this comment directly with the Raker's in the hopes
that it will promote healing from their experience.
I am requesting if you would share this comment with the Raker's.
While I am presuming you have their contact information and that my
comment may be welcomed by them, I thought using you as an
intermediary would provide them a sense of additional security. As
well, I am not prepared at this time to post my comment on the Bucks
Local News website.
Again, thank you for covering this story. I firmly believe that your
coverage and the decision of the editorial board to publish the story
makes an incalculable positive impact on the family's and community's
healing process and supports a peaceful and pluralistic society.
Best regards,
Halloween 1978 I woke up with a black swastika spray
painted at the front entrance of the row home where I
658

lived in Morrell Park. A fishing weight broke our window

in our second floor living room and 'Fuck You Jews' was
also spray painted on our garage door. I was five years
old. This event was the culmination of about a year of
harassment from a group of teenagers living in the
neighborhood including our immediate neighbor. We
shared a wall for goodness sake. My sister played with
the younger sister of one of our tormentors. No matter.
My parents tell me the cops nor the parents of these
teenage kids did anything about the phony phone calls
in the middle of the night, other instances of broken
windows, throwing stones at me and my sisters as we
rode our big wheels, constant verbal abuse, the
vandalism, and more. There was at least one other
visible minority living on our block. We were singled
out. No one did anything to make it stop, let alone mete
out any form of justice. We moved by the end of the
summer to another NE Philly neighborhood and never
looked back.
We had great neighbors and lived in peace. I love Philly. I believe the
community support the Raker's received does make a major difference.
It shines a light in a dark corner of society. It says to those who
perpetrated this act it will not be tolerated. It encourages who know
who did it to tell their story. It may even make the perpetrator(s) feel
remorse or even confess. And, perhaps most importantly, it
demonstrates to the Raker's people care about what happened to them
and promotes healing. It took me years to realize that in all likelihood in
my experience the kids were just punks using religion as an additional
weapon to cause pain rather than from deep seated hate of the Jewish
people. I know that my healing would have been a lot faster if people
spoke out against it. My family and I would not have been alone to
suffer. I am heartened that there are signs of change.

Over the weekend, I was in NYC *the worlds culture-capital], where one had to stand in line to enter
stores and ambling-pedestrians almost completely blocked 5th Avenue. The non-stop 48-hours included
wandering through the MoMA *thankfully, before the crush of Free Friday crowds starting @4 p.m.+,
dining @ the [restored] Russian Tea Room, dropping-in on the NY Public Library [to the east of a
cleaned-up Bryant Park], watching Kinky Boots [the first act was expendable, while the second act was
pure-Broadway+, and visiting the Cloisters briefly *renewing acquaintance with the Mets overflow of
Renaissance Religiosity @ this gem @ the northern-tip of Manhattan].
TKTS is on-line and that one should not rely upon the NY-Times prcis for a complete list
of alternatives; many people used a portable-app. The discounts @ Duffy Square are not
always 50%; the Kinky Boots tix were 30%-offyielding a packed-house; sales started
@3, I was in-line by 2:30 and gone by 3:30. Most people ignored the handouts provided
while awaiting purchases, which were handled professionally and briskly.
Upon return, The Imitation Game *about the Turing Machine+ was felt to be stellar; it detailed
the origin of the computer and did far more for the desire to mainstream the gay-movement
than did the glitz of Cyndi Lauper [although some might argue they were flipsides of the same
argument, namely, that the LGBTQ culture should be honored rather than shunned]; well-acted,
it used flashbacks judiciously/cogently and contained surprise-insights throughout.
A comment about an ominous article [Toll lanes to keep driver data for 90 days] noted
that video monitors speeders and high occupancy vehicle lane scofflaws; it was noted
that E-ZPasses, the transponders used to pay the toll fees, will not be suspended for
speeding. Yet, a comment was reminiscent of precisely the thought I raised last week
*Does ANYONE doubt that, sooner or later, this system will be used to monitor speed
and automatically issue tickets and fines?+.
In the rush of catching-up on the mail, I inadvertently grabbed my sons The Atlantic Magazine and
reminded myself why the lib-press merits scorn; even a glib-essay [You're Just Like Me!] dripped with
superficiality. The major-piece [The American public and its political leadership will do anything for the
military except take it seriously; the result is a chickenhawk nation in which careless spending and
strategic folly combine to lure America into endless wars it cant win] failed to address the obvious
manifestations of the Dems negative-predictions related both to Vietnam [Cooper-Church] and Iraq
*precipitous withdrawal+; thus, failures of the military were not truly ascribable to the Pentagon and,
even now, morale has been [purposefully] decimated by a pacifist-POTUS.
Another highlighted piece [An American-Iranian dtente is in both countries interest
but it neednt upset our special relationship with Israel] conveyed a highly-dismissive
disdain for Israel *Whatever the eventual outcome of the long-running negotiations
over Irans nuclear program, Israeli interests cannot impede a warming of relations
between Iran and the United States in the coming years, under either this president or
the next+; this was illustrated by the fact that the word bomb doesnt appear and the
aforementioned-quote was the only one that even used the word nuclear. *Note
other manifestations of BHOs mindset (Obama doesn't rule out US embassy in Tehran)
and of his sycophants (Iran Can Be 'Very Successful Regional Power').]

660

Finally, The Atlantic Magazine included a hit-piece is provided regarding RedStates Erick Erickson *Is
the Most Powerful Conservative in America Losing His Edge?] that not-very-subtly reflects poorly on
other Conservatives.
Regarding the Media, it seems the NY-Times has determined that most occupants of the
HOT SEAT IN 2015 will be libs [Griffin, Turness, Anyone Running a Movie Studio]; in stark
contrast, 2014, According to the Drudge Report, was replete with useful data to those
with a Conservative mindset.
After AG-Kane filed for divorce, I amplified comments on PoliticsPA [Kanes Racial Claims A Complete
Lie] thusly {punctuated by the predictable attack c/o DD}: One must now wonder if her husband is
voting with his feet, a side-effect of perceptions of the news; the timing is uncanny, for one would
think she would view enlisting his support as a priority were any possibility extant that it could be
obtained.,DD: If we were voting with our feet, it would be to kick you in the @ss for your insensitive
comments and insinuations about Kane and her marriage. Shes going through a tough time in her
personal life, and you cant help being a jerk. No surprise.-.My point was sorely political; the timing is
uncanny, you must agree, noting the Absence of support from anyone else (of import, which excludes
you, of course).*I had typed purely but the puter changed it to sorely; I suppose both are apt, in
different ways.]
Predictably, the GOP DREW LINES AS WOLF FOCUSED ON HUGE DEFICIT; this serves to
illustrate why the lame-duck legislature should try to enact maximally before Corbett
departs. Also, know that the GAS TAX TO ADD 10 CENTS PER GALLON STARTING
THURSDAY.
The Bleacher-Report is issued daily, year-round, and the end of the *Iggles+ season prompts extensive
excerpting therefrom; the bitter-sweet effect of the fact that Iggles won the season finale over Giants
34-26 is that they will draft #20 instead of #15. There were justifiably-historic positives *Cody Parkey
makes Eagles and NFL history], seemingly-justifiable possibilities *Boykin Less Than Thrilled About
Returning as Part-Timer], thinly-veiled pleas *Trent Cole wants to be an Eagle for life], mercifullysuppressed protestations *Cary doesn't care if the Eagles bring him back], and promptly-quashed
premonitions *Rex Ryan to Philly as D-coordinator isn't happening]. And no analysis would be
complete with a requisite QB-controversy [Lurie noncommittal about Nick Foles & Foles Expects to Be
the Starter in 2015 & Sanchez Not Ready to Talk About Possibility of Leaving].
Maclin received Bleacher Report's 2014 NFL Award for Comeback Player of the Year;
after having recognized the Biggest Takeaways from Eagles 2014 Season, note the
teams the Eagles will play in 2015. The final NFL Power Rankings placed the
Philadelphia Eagles (10-6) @ #11 and outside the playoffs, but that won't affect their
ranking here. If all was right in the universe, the Eagles would be in the postseason over
the Carolina Panthers (7-8-1) but, until the NFL decides to reward season winners and
not division winners, this is what we're stuck with. There may be some fans
disappointed with the non-playoff year but, given the talent level of this team, 2014
was a good year in Philadelphia. Chip Kelly showed that he's still a top-level coach in
only his second season and the roster is in good shape to be turned over for the
needed additions. If Kelly can solve the quarterback question this offseason (through
acquisition or development), the Eagles could be Super Bowl-worthy very soon.

661

Reviews of the meaningless victory over the Giants game were predictable [Winners & Losers; 10 final
thoughts; 5 Good Things and 5 Bad; and Eagles offensive line finished on a high note]; it ended with
Jordan Matthews and Beckham Jr. exchanging jerseys and focus on Candidates to Start at CB for Eagles
in 2015.
Full Game Grades for Eagles vs. Giants seemed reasonable except for the D+ awarded
to the defensive line. *Like the offensive line, the defensive line didnt stand out,
especially considering the New York Giants have a below-average unit protecting Eli
Manning. Fletcher Cox led all defensive linemen with seven tackles. Bennie Logan had
six, including a big three-yard stuff early in the game. Cedric Thornton had a tackle for a
loss of his own. The unit combined to allow just 76 rushing yards on 25 carries, holding
Andre Williams and Rashad Jennings to just a 3.0 yards-per-carry average. The pair did
combine for one touchdown. The fact that Manning wasnt sacked is disappointing.+
A feature article [How to Interview a Head Coach Candidate] composed by a National Lead Writer
highlighted [including two photos+ Chip Kelly. *If the applicant is Chip Kelly 2013 or some other ultracoveted candidate, an interview might include such hard-hitting questions as "How do you like your surf
'n turf?"+ It also cited the defunct Bulletin:
Many coaches like to claim that they get their players to "shut out the outside world and
focus on football" the moment everyone sets foot inside team headquarters. These
coaches get that idea from their mentors, who got it from their mentors, who got it
from Mike Ditka, who got it from Tom Landry, who got it from coaches from an era
when "shutting out the outside world" meant not reading the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin or listening to George Burns and Gracie Allen on the radio.
Despite the fact that PSU EDGED BC ON GAME-WINNING EXTRA POINT IN OT TO WIN THE PINSTRIPE
BOWL, the Sandusky scandal continues to cast a long shadow at Penn State University.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/251286916/Thoughts-LXXXVIII-Illegals-gun-media-BenghaziGate-POTUS16-Reverse-Racism-BHO
In addition to providing important-info that may not be available elsewhere, a major justification for
these Blast e-mails is to elicit and then to disseminate reactions thereto; again reminiscent of the
observation that a shorter message yielded more responses, the priority here is to recycle reactions
[and, of course, to critique them, with or without embellishment]. Other points are of-interest, both in
the realm of advocacy [Dump Boehner] and levity [more from Colbert that illustrates his nonpartisan
humor particularly if one follows the serial clips from his shows from the hyperlink+. ,Regarding "The
Imitation Game," Aspen Institute president Walter Isaacson hosted a screening on Saturday-p.m.,
followed by a Q&A discussing the film (about the British cryptographer Alan Turing) and how it relates to
technology and cyber security.}
A friend provided an article [replete with extensive economy-based hyperlinks] that
rebutted Paul Krugmans predictable praise of The Obama Recovery; he also rebutted
the suggestion that Communist Cuba was full of bastardized 50 year old rubbish cars, for
he claimed those cars are gorgeous [50s classics]!
Five Reasons Why the Senate CIA-Torture Report Became a Flop [The American people are not stupid;
Americans believe the war on terror continues; Former CIA officers fought back hard against the Senate
report; The left overreached; and The Obama administration provided lukewarm support for the Senate
report+ are, to me, trumped by the fact that no one was interviewed and, thus, there was no chance
that exculpatory data could be included within what was obviously a cherry-picked report. A friend
advised that, before swallowing Dem-propaganda talking-points, one must recall John Yoos legal
analysis; it must be recalled, however, that the citations appeared not to abide by such constraints.
Indeed, although another friend thought it was OK to subject a family-member to enhanced
interrogation to elicit info from a perp, I would think most people would not allow for focusing upon
innocents. [The first friend also doubted the applicability of any statistical propensity argument against
Ferguson police; it may be noted that it was cited (preliminarily, pending acquisition of more data) to
illustrate why the populace may have felt justified harboring antipathy towards the police.]
Sharyl Attkisson has compiled Unanswered BenghaziGate Questions:
1.
Where was Obama throughout the long night of the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist
attacks in Benghazi, Libya? What decisions did the Commander-in-Chief make and what
actions did he take while Americans were under assault on foreign soil? Considering that
the U.S. embassy in Egypt had already been overrun earlier in the day, and that further
attacks on other U.S. facilities were anticipated throughout the night, how involved was
the President in tracking the volatile, regional developments?
2.
When Hillary reportedly told family members of the Benghazi victims that the
U.S. was going to find and prosecute whoever made the awful Internet video (rather
than pledging to catch those who committed the murders), what crime did she envision
the video maker had committed? On what information was she relying when she
663

thought that the government couldand shouldpersecute a filmmaker who

was exercising free speech in America? When U.S. officials asked YouTube to remove
the video, what was the legal, ethical or policy basis for doing so and who in
government was consulted? Had Mrs. Clinton or President Obama watched the entire
film prior to disparaging it? What steps, if any, did administration officials take to have
Nakoula charged?

Why there is a movement to dump Boehner is not only illustrated by his having been so chummy with
BHO [and having violated both the Hastert Rule and his own mandate that bills be on-line for 72-hours
prior to any vote], but it is also illustrated by muscle-flexing by his ally, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
which thinks it is the only reason the GOP won anything in November; it is now threatening Republicans
with opposition during next go-round if they don't lay down and give the Chamber precisely what it
wants, including on immigration, increased spending on transportation, and economic deals that
sweeten the pot for big business. In fact, the Chamber of Commerce May Target Conservatives Opposed
to Passing Amnesty Bill Right Now.
Wisconsin's establishment Republican Senator Ron Johnson told The Wall Street
Journal's Laura Meckler that Democrats have already gotten their half of the bargain
through Mr. Obama's unilateral executive [amnesty-for-illegals] action; this tells us
Johnson and the Capitol Hill GOP establishment have no intention whatsoever of
overturning Obama's amnesty for, rather than fight Obama, they plan to move on to
giving the tech industry what it wants millions of "techno-coolie" visas.
Note that Only A Small Percentage Of Border Surge Illegals Showing Up
For Court and that MEXICO DEPORTED MORE CENTRAL AMERICANS
THAN US IN 2014; no wonder Obama correctly concluded, Steve King
and I Fundamentally Disagree on Immigration.
Democrats are already plotting ways to boost Hispanic voter turnout in 2016, noting
that, in the next Congress, 75 Republicans will occupy districts where Hispanics make up
10 percent or more of the electorate, up from 68; they will be assisted by the Citizenship
and Immigration Services Agency, which is immediately seeking 1000 new employees
[costing nearly $8 million a year in lease payments and more than $40 million for annual
salaries].
Regarding the media, as was noted in a prior Blast e-mail provided a fortnight ago, GQ Couldnt Find
Very Many Dems for 20 Craziest Politicians Listicle; KRAUTHAMMER notes that the LACK OF VA
SCANDAL COVERAGE constitutes PROOF that OBAMA STONEWALLING WORKS. Regarding the SCOTUS,
while conservatives and civil libertarians are upset [Supreme Court ruling eroded key check on
government power], it has been averred that Liberals Should Fear the Supreme Court in 2015
[ObamaDontCare, religious freedom, and same-sex marriage equality]. Regarding the welfare-state,
Michigan Has More Food Stamp Recipients Than Students and Gruber Continues to Dodge Growing
Number of Document Requests. Regarding the culture, Franken took on Obama [regarding a nominee]
and One out of eight CO residents is smoking pot [presumably, an increasing %-age]. {Also, note that
Amazon Offered All-You-Can-Eat Books, as Authors Turned-Up Noses; Kindle Unlimited offered access to
700,000 books for $9.99 a month.}
664

Regarding party-politics, although the GOP allegedly has an uphill battle to keep the
Senate, McLaughlin Panned Dem War on Women Narrative. Few recognize that the
two biggest donors of this past cycle were lefties [Tom Steyer donated nearly $75
million to help pro-cap-and-trade Democrats and Michael Bloomberg donated $27
million to help pro-gun-control Democrats]; the biggest right-of-center donor was
Sheldon Adelson, who donated $13 million.
Regarding POTUS-16, Hillary Clinton is Shifting Left to Meet Democrat Base, for Clinton has aligned
herself firmly with Obama since the November midterms on a range of liberal-friendly issues, including
immigration, climate change and opening diplomatic relations with Cuba; yet, ABCS KARL feels HILLARY
CLINTON SEEMS OUT OF TOUCH although a Poll concluded that Hillary Clinton Would Beat Chris
Christie by 10 Points in New Jersey [perhaps ascribable to two facts: Christie and Cuomo vetoed N.J.N.Y. Port Authority overhaul and While Christie Roams, Popularity Suffers at Home].
A friend has challenged my support for Ted Cruz, who [he feels] cannot be elected;
having watched him on TV giving speeches on the floor of the Senate, he disagrees with
much of what he says and surely disagrees with how he says it. {He denies having
bought into the Lefty media about Cruz, although the resemblance between his views
and those of the mainstream-media appears uncanny.}
He admits this super-smart fellow has amassed impressive intellectual
accomplishments at Princeton and Harvard Law, but smarts don't make
for leaders capable of governing America; he lacks the balance to be
President. In contrast, perhaps, he feels Obama is smart, but misguided,
especially on issues/values that matter to me. {In my view, BHO is an
across-the-board disaster, period.}
He wants a winner so that we can start correcting the mistakes of BHO and restoring
America to the necessary position of leadership needed in a topsy-turvy world; he feels
much of the problem is the failure to BHO to understand the needs of the globe and the
requirement of American leadership. {That he feels Cruz is wrong on many issues is
curious, for the list isas yetunspecified.}
It may be recalled that it was [tentatively] a bit disheartening to note
that Cruz has introduced an amendment calling for Illegals to be
registered, for this could serve as a prelude for a path-to-citizenship;
curiously, Sarah Palin supports a path to citizenship, one of the points in
her 7 Key Political Positions [Fiscal conservative; Illegal immigration;
Energy; Healthcare; Abortion; Gay marriage; and Second Amendment].
Others are continuing to make noise [Rubio, for example, claimed Rand and Obama
Have Identical Foreign Policy], but attention is increasingly directed at Midwestern
governors [Scott Walker of Wisconsin, Mike Pence of Indiana, Rick Snyder of Michigan
and John Kasich of Ohio], as they build credentials.
Although a POLL showed JEB SURGING TO TOP, another EARLY GOP POLL SHOWED MOST VOTERS
UNDECIDED ON PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE; nevertheless, the WSJ PUFFED-UP JEBS SOCIAL
665

CONSERVATIVE BONA FIDES WITH EMAIL REPORT, while it seemed Everyone Said Jeb Bush Is A
Conservative Except Conservatives. Recalling that JEB BUSH OWNS COMMON CORE, many feel his
Support for Common Core could cost Jeb Bush in primary for, of the Republicans surveyed in an August
PDK/Gallup Poll, 76 percent said they objected to the new benchmarks; furthermore, a Plurality of
Republicans is Less Likely to Support Jeb for Believing Illegal Immigration is an Act of Love. {In my view,
were Jeb to preclude entry of other establishment-types, it would then be easier for constitutional
conservatives to unite behind an opposition-candidate and then to defeat him (for any number of
reasons, noting the conservatism of the base).}
The gun-law controversy continued to rage, with lib-editorials [Wisconsin Gazette:
Repeal Of Stupid 2nd Amendment Past Due] and celebrity-comments [Actress Julianne
Moore: Stop School Shootings by Donating to Gun Control] abounding in the face of real
crime [after an Alleged Robber Pulled a Pellet Gun, a Clerk Pulled a Real One, and there
were 12 SHOOTINGS leaving 6 DEAD SINCE CHRISTMAS IN WASHINGTON D.C.];
meanwhile, a Resident Shot a Masturbating Dog Thief in Bucks County.
Regarding [Reverse-]Racism, Lefties continue to rage [agitators-behind-the-new-york-protests-and-copkillings; LAPD on alert after gunmen fire on patrol car; Occidental Professor: Blame NRA, Not De Blasio,
for NYPD Deaths; Joan Walsh: Police Are Predators, Most Violent Protesters Are White; and Muslims
invoke Malcolm X at rally, 'die-in']; yet, Thousands of cops turned their backs to Mayor de Blasio at
Rafael Ramos's funeral, behavior that Jim Geraghty explored [Just What Is the Appropriate Way for
Police to React to Mayor de Blasio?]. Finally, the dichotomy [evinced previously when the Prez of Smith
College was noted to have been pressured into flipping from acknowledging all life is precious to
prioritizing Blacks] was dramatized when All Lives Matter vs. Black Lives Matter emerged at Dueling
LAPD Protests.
Divide over police is racial and partisan: Differences are stark between blacks, whites
and between red, blue [per a new WashPost-ABC poll]: "Only 1 in 10 African Americans
says blacks and other minorities receive equal treatment with whites in the criminal
justice system; only about 2 in 10 say they are confident that the police treat whites and
blacks equally. This compared with half of all white Americans say the races are treated
equally in the justice system; 6 in 10 have confidence that police treat both equally."
Finally, it may be recalled that it was felt perhaps to be true when a friend claimed that BHO is a biracial who had problems adjusting when he was young when he decided not to acknowledge his white
mother because it ingratiated him to white people. This triggered a full-court-press to prompt
conversion from Perhaps to Concurrence, for it was claimed that the info to follow is merely an
excerpt of whats on-tap:
BHO wrote in the introduction to Dreams from My Father (p. xv), as part of a passage in
which Barack Obama spoke of the difficulties of growing up as the child of mixed-race
parents: I ceased to advertise my mothers race at the age of 12 or 13 when I began to
suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites. Thats a very big deal
because he admits the suppression of his whiteness. There are loads of reasons but the
essential point is the suppression.
Those dysfunctional personality problems continue to baffle him; the result is a
dysfunctional President who cannot accommodate a polyglot culture like America. His
666

position is to go with the black as a knee-jerk reaction. Hes therefore dysfunctional so

far as race.
My suspicion is he cannot admit to himself that he is a full 50% white. Just as a
rattlesnake coils to amplify its power, The President is neither happy nor well-adjusted
with his whiteness so he is psychologically conflicted. The conflict is far from resolved
and because of the conflict he chooses sides in the Race issue and his choice is against
whites. If he were more white in his personality, he would be far less conflicted but
he isnt. His intellect is coiled in rage, but not just against white people. Hes against
Europeans, too, as he demonstrated when he removed the Churchill bust from the oval
office.
The man is dis-adjusted not only in his personality but in his Metaphysical view of
people. He takes sides because thats a form of revenge which derives from his antiwhiteness.
Obama had a wonderful opportunity to show how the races can thrive together in
America. This is the only place where thats possible, but he has no idea about how that
can be done.
Ive been to 92 countries, so far. Ive worked and played together with enough welladjusted people to know how Obama could have helped race relations and to know as
well what he did thats wrong. He will finish two more years of heartache for the races.
It will be the job of his successors to get America back to being America.
His mother and father were too caught up with sexual passion to realize the difficulties
for a bi-racial son but hes been an un-adjustable adult more than long enough to deal
with his abnormalities and to correct them.
He could have and should have transcended at the very least his part black nature. His
pathology created his very flawed Epistemology and thats unfortunate.
Finally, his pathology favors the Palestinians. Thats been obvious since he directed
Netanyahu to leave the White House by a side door. Hes been a lurking predator
towards Israel which is explained by his hatred for Great Britain, Europeans in general
and non-blacks. The man is a menace to the American idea. What explains that level of
rage if not his pathology?
DSouza was able to explain all of this by noting his anti-colonialism; thus, Im still @ Perhaps.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/251295738/Thoughts-LXXXIX-BHO-Islamism-Dershowitz-campus-leftiesDestruction-of-the-Middle-East-anti-Semitism-Israel-Israeli-Politics

You have been provided a weekend-update regarding *primarily+ domestic affairs; therein, both
personally-acquired info [regarding anti-Semitism] has been admixed with rejoinders to reactions
received from readers. Note also this six-minute video recapping the work of Project Veritas Action for
the year; also, a reader invited those on her Blast e-mail list to partake *Too lazy to do all the
research? I am, so here is a person dedicated to doing it for us. Email him if you want to be added to his
list. I have been reading his blog/emails and he is on top of the issues, world-wide. I don't always agree
but do most of the time.+ This one was going to be a relatively terse Middle-East review [including a
smattering of the electoral-politics mesmerizing Israel] but, as usual, it seems to have expanded
exponentially; just-received was a set of essays by Steven Shamrak that explored Israel is a Strategic
Partner of the USA * Sinai Option - The Road to Peace * Abbas Blackmails the United Nation.
I received an instant-response to my claim that Perhaps BHO has psychological
issues based upon being biracial; annotation interspersed. ,Thematically, I can see the
Reverse-Racism he promotes, but I dont see the psyche-impact thereof.}
DSouza did not explain Obamas racial conflict at all. Neither in his book nor in his
movie. He concluded Obama was anti-colonial but he couldnt validate it. ,He used
inductive reasoning regarding anti-colonialism, and he addressed racism obliquely in
2016.Anti-colonialism was certainly a big motivator for his father. Its irrelevant in the life of
the son. {Perhaps; if he is channeling his father, the anti-colonialism flows.}
Few people seem to be able to grasp the depth of Obamas rage and his tremendous
discipline keeping it covered-up. Hes a master prestidigitator. Cool Head: Main Thing.
has been a guiding shibboleth that helps explain his guardedness and his absolute
treachery against white people. ,True, noting how we dont have his higher-education
records and the LA-Times continues to suppress his interaction with Khalidi (the
unnamed source agreed to share the illuminating bit of video evidence with Wallsten,
but only with the understanding that the reporter could not reproduce or rebroadcast
the images).His treachery was visible at the Beer summit and the Ferguson support for the rioters.
,Plus Zimmerman, but that doesnt mean its the primary psyche-issue.}
His deceit is clear in David Maranisss book: Barack Obama The Story. Hes not at all an
anti-colonialist. He has no inclination at all against the colonizers. The tribal system in
Kenya between his fathers tribe, the Luo and Jumo Kenyattas Kikuyu tribe is a better
668

explanation of his personality. The President cannot grasp his race based conflict let
alone hook up to the colonial period in Kenya. Hes in psychological denial about his
whiteness. {Is not the overarching force-at-play the rejection of European dominance?}
Theres nothing about colonialism in Obamas two books nor in Maraniss book. Obama
is anti-white for certain because of his own biography. By the same criteria, mutatis
mutandi, hes not anti-colonial. {Again, if he was channeling his father (noting title), he
had to have a component of anti-colonialism, even if it was understated; also, it is
possible that these forces were amalgamated.}
Regarding generic foreign policy, myriad hyperlinks have been accrued [Ukraine shut down one of the
six reactors in its most powerful nuclear power plant today for the second time in a month; Atoning
for the Armenian Genocide [including Kurds, who were then victimized]; Darfur on the Verge of Return
to Full-Scale Civil War; Lindsey Graham: China Knew of Sony Attack; Chinese Authorities Ban Christmas,
Call It Western Spiritual Pollution; Christians Now Outnumber Communists in China; and the British
government is planning to pay off some of the debts to America that it racked up over hundreds of
years, dating as far back as the South Sea Bubble (of 1720)].
Sen. McCain [no longer kissing-up to people involved with the Islamic State] said to
Kurdistans Barzani: The World Sees The Bravery of Peshmerga. Yet, even a leftiewriter claimed the U.S. has been Slow to Support Iraqi Tribes in Fight Against Islamic
State and, instead of providing clarity regarding these issues, Obama Danced while
Ukraine, Iraq, and Afghanistan Burn. As usual, the Daily Alerts of Friday and Monday are
replete with insights; also, Israel, when visualized from the International Space Station,
shows greenery amidst surrounding deserts.
The campus-lefties continue terrorizing Jews/Zionists; as a result, Pro-Israel Groups Shipped
SodaStreams to Harvard Leaders Following Ban. And, in the latest chapter of leftists gone wild at
Brandeis University, threats were made against a Jewish student for writing an article exposing a cop
hating, America hating, Jew hating, white hating fellow student, and the spineless President looked
away]; thus, Brandeis University has been Roiled by anti-Police and anti-Zionist Radicals.
Right on cue, Alan M. Dershowitz wrote two quality-essays [A Brandeis Student Refuses
to Show Sympathy for Assassinated Policemen -- and Her Critic Is Attacked & Hard
Leftists are as Guilty of Censorship as North Korea's Dictator]; the problem remains that
he is a BHO-apologist, as per my direct conversation with him on his radio-show a few
months ago [when he said he would only turn against BHO if Iran got the bomb]. Thus,
he remains dangerous, for he makes it OK to call yourself both a Zionist and a BHOsupporter [despite the fact that BHO has been anti-Zionist].
My son inquired as to what BHO has DONE against Israel beyond
failing to re-arm the Iron-Dome [and prompting a swift end to the Gaza
incursion]. That BHO has threatened to sanction Israel doesnt work, but
that he has argued before the SCOTUS that Jerusalem cannot be a
birthplace in Israel on a passport and that Tel Aviv must remain the
US-recognized capital of Israel these exemplify his contempt.

669

As usual, Trudy Rubin claimed the U.S. bears responsibility for beleaguered Christians in
Iraq, but she proposed neither an explanation *BHOs evacuation+ nor a remedy *US
redeployment]; the task of showing what must not be done [denial] was again left to
John R. Cohn, M.D.
To the editor,
Over 700,000 Jews fled the Arab Middle East in the last century, well
more than the number of Arabs that fled Israel in 1948. But absence of
Jews throughout the Arab world has resulted in more not less hatred.
Christians, whose numbers have declined in the region virtually
everywhere but in Israel, will do no better by abandoning the Middle
East and fleeing to the United States or Europe. Offering up Israels
Jews has not helped the plight of Christians in Arab countries and
yielding to Iraq's rampaging forces of bigotry that maim, torture and kill
wont help them or uswhether at any given moment they are actively
waging war against Christians, other Muslims or Jews.
Another prolific local-writer, Lee S. Bender, Esq. summarized the speech by Dr. Zudhi
Jasser in which he demonstrated the theology of non-Islamist *moderate+ Muslims;
pivotal is IDing the action-item associated with this insight.
It is necessary to recognize that Egypt remains problematic, noting that an Alexandria, Egypt court
canceled the controversial Jewish Abu Hasira monument; some may view this as c/w The rampant
Destruction of the Middle East *not just Daniels Tomb+ for, around the world, art historians, antiquities
experts, and archaeologists scarcely dare open their e-mails every day, fearing loss of another
irreplaceable site. Physical destruction in the Islamic realms has now reached proportions of the Mongol
invasions of the thirteenth century.
We are living through ferocious times. Stories about the self-proclaimed Islamic State
*ISIS/ISIL/Daesh+ abound in the media, in what has now become a daily round of
beheadings, suicide bombings, and general mayhem from Nigeria to Malaysia. It seems
that wherever there is a Muslim country, there is extreme violence. But one part of the
Islamic State narrative has received less attention than the gruesome rounds of killings:
the continuing onslaughts on cities such as Mosul, Aleppo, Raqqa and Kobani. The
Islamic State and related movements have rampaged across parts of Iraq and Syria,
destroying the entire heritage of ancient regions, demolishing historic churches,
synagogues, mosques, Sufi and Shii shrines, and major archaeological sites. All this
vandalism is driven by a relentless passion to enforce religious purity on the regions
they now control.
Meanwhile, the Islamist-Supremacist Theocracy is also running-rampant [One Way Trip to Jihad: At
Least 116 Foreign Fighters Executed by ISIS for Deserting; 14-Year-Old ISIS Recruit Volunteers as Suicide
Bomber to Escape; New issue of jihadist magazine suggests attacks against USA; Al-Qaeda warns of
more lone wolves; ISLAMIC STATE EXECUTED NEARLY 2000 PEOPLE IN SIX MONTHS; ISIS Executing
Doctors in Mosul Who Refuse to Treat Jihadists; and Supporters Urge ISIS to Impale or Skin-alive the
Captured Pilot].

670

The West is dramatically underestimating the threat emanating from the Islamic State,
and ISIS' fighters are much more intelligent and dangerous than our politicians realize.
The influx of new fighters joining ISIS is growing daily. ISIS isn't just aiming at conquering
the Middle East and, eventually, the rest of the world. Rather, they want the largest
'religious cleansing' in the history of mankind. ISIS is a 1-percent movement with the
effect of a tsunami. {Indeed, also know that News Organizations Ignore Jihadist Attacks
on Christians.}
That an Iranian senior commander was killed in Iraq illustrates how profoundly Iran has infiltrated Iraq
[filling the vacuum created by BHO]; indeed, although an Alliance with Iran Against ISIS could be
perceived as a Short-Term Boost, it assuredly will become a Long-Term Bust. As the US searches for
secrets to the power of the Islamic State, a General turned to experts outside the Pentagon; the NYT
recognizes the challenge, as the US Struggles to Defang ISIS Ideology. Even as Obama Ended Afghanistan
Combat Mission During Bloodiest Year of the War, the U.S. was reduced to Bombing Three ISIS Buildings
in Syria; no wonder this was Europes Year of the Jihadist [for, indeed, The Palestinians Real Enemy
is Europe, awareness of which appears gradually to be rising].
A book [The Anatomy of a Scourge: Anti-Semitism is Back With a Vengeance] noted that
the Enlightenment started a process of liberating the Jews which first resulted in their
dominance and then their destruction; this constitutes a new layer on the causes of
anti-Semitism. The essayist continues.
I just finished The Israel Test, which I highly recommend. Gilder, who wrote it,
postulates that anti-Semitism has always been based on this dominance. The goyim
cant compete with the Jews and thus tried to level the playing field and ultimately to
kill them. A 25 years ago, I had a conversation with an establishment goy, in which we
talked about the fact that three of the billionaires who dominated the Canadian scene
were Jewish, namely Reichman, Bronfman and Belsky. He said, In every generation the
Jews climb up the latter of success and we gentiles are always there to kick it out from
underneath them. He understood intuitively.
Francisco Gil-White postulates that Judaism was a mortal threat to Rome
notwithstanding that Jews were only 10% of the population of the Roman Empire at
that time. The Jews believe in liberty and freedom which were considered threats to
Rome. So Rome destroyed them.
Prior to the Spanish Inquisition the Jews of Spain were forced to convert or flee. Those
who converted were then able to function as equals to the other Christians. That
freedom enable them to once again dominate even in the Church. That the real
Christians wanted to root out the converts. So they accused them of being heretics.
Their conviction of this crime resulted in them being burned alive.
Allow me to postulate that our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were of superior
intelligence and their descendants inherited this intelligence. Let us also assume that
this superiority made itself manifest long before Moses appeared on the scene. A prime
example is Joseph. I go further and suggest that this manifest intellectual exceptionalism
is the origin of the Jews being called the chosen people.

671

In the 19th century, Wilhelm Marr, known as the father of modern anti-Semitism,
coined the word anti-Semitismus. But the pathological hatred of Jews has a long
history. In the antiquity, the Pharaoh who didnt know Joseph decreed to kill all the
Jewish newborn males; and Haman, centuries later, convinced his Persian king
Ahasverus to exterminate this people whose religion and language are different.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Arab terrorism runs-rampant in Israel [How To Stab A Jew Video Became A Big
Hit On Palestinian Social Media; Four Israelis were injured in separate terror attacks amid continued
Palestinian Arab incitement; and Police Busted Arab Brothers Planning Terror Attack in Jerusalem]
The Jewish state must respond to Palestinian unilateralism with unilateralism of its own - Over the last
two decades, Israel has inexorably painted itself into a perilous corner; by blunder after debacle, it has
allowed itself to be corralled into a political cul-de-sac that threatens to undermine its very ability to
survive as the nation-state of the Jewish people.
As a result, many Israelis feel they must choose between victory or destruction, to wit:
You probably heard about the 11-year old girl who was critically burned
on Thursday when the car she was riding in was struck by a firebomb
thrown by an Arab terrorist. And you certainly know about the attack on
the Kehilat Bnei Torah synagogue in Jerusalem in which four worshipers
and a policeman were brutally murdered.
You probably know about the several incidents in which Arabs drove
their vehicles into groups of Jews, including one in which a 3-month old
baby and a tourist from Ecuador were murdered, and another in which
the driver got out and ran back to his not-yet-dead victim and cut her
throat.
If you follow these things, you may also know that Jews are afraid to go
to the historic Mount of Olives Cemetery in Jerusalem because of
continued violent attacks on buses, cars and people. You may also have
heard about the daily rock-throwing attacks on the light rail in
Jerusalem, against Jewish-driven cars on the roads in Judea and
Samaria, the acid thrown on a Jewish family, etc. I could go on. And on.
In short, they feel The Jewish state must respond to Palestinian unilateralism with
unilateralism of its own; this must be done carefully, however, such as via passage of
the Israel is Jewish basic-law [as explored earlier, allowing perhaps for deportation of
stone-throwers to Gaza], rather than radically (and this realization explains the harsh
reaction among lefties to this proposal).
Regarding Gaza, a Hamas official claimed the Unity gov't is 'deliberately impeding' reconstruction while,
simultaneously, Gaza is to stop import of electrical appliances from Israel; such mixed-messages abound,
as usual, including the claim by the Hamas Founder that Qatar Still Funds Hamas Terror Group, Despite
Reports. Ultimately, Palestinian Arabs [both Hamas and PA] know they have an advocacy group in the
news media [Reuters, The Forward and Media Jihad], particularly globally [Warsi Shocked By Abuse
From Jews, After She Defended Hamas.

672

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the following remarks at the start of his
meeting with US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who assured Israel, Congress has
your back; this is not unrealistic, for Israel may benefit from the non-omnipotent US
presidency:
We are now faced with two great challenges.
The first comes from the Palestinians. The chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, has
compared Israel to ISIS. This is the same Palestinian Authority that joins hands with
Hamas, incites constantly against Israel, the kind of incitement that has led to an attack
that we witnessed just two days ago of a Molotov cocktail thrown at a little girl, and I
commend our security forces for apprehending the terrorists. But the same Palestinian
Authority is going to try to bring to the UN Security Council a resolution that seeks to
impose on us conditions that will undermine our security. And I want to assure you that
we will stand firmly and reject such a dictate. We always have; we always will.
The second great challenge comes from Iran. Iran today conducted an exercise with a
suicide drone. I dont have to convince you Senator that the most important task before
us is to prevent this dangerous regime from having nuclear weapons. And I believe that
what is required are more sanctions, and stronger sanctions. And I welcome your
leadership in this effort. I think this is something that is important for the peace of the
world. You know, there are moments in history when nations have to stand firm. Israel
stands firm on both sides, and on both issues.
Regarding the Israeli-Elections, the accusation has been issued that Netanyahu is responsible for
ownerless land being designated as private land [via an entity he controls as PM]; nevertheless, Frmr.
ISA Head Returning to Politics on Likud List *Dichter added that, in his view, the Nation-State or Jewish
State Law - the law blamed with bringing down the 19th Knesset - will eventually pass. The former
Minister was the first to introduce his own version of the law, with Netanyahu's blessing, as a Kadima
MK during the 18th Knesset.We will have to disarm Gaza.+
Meanwhile, the Corruption scandal in Liebermans party could redraw the political map;
Yisrael Beiteinu suffered another blow after senior party member [Tourism Minister] Uzi
Landau announced he will not run in upcoming elections. [Dr. Aaron Lerner, of IMRA,
claimed that Observers note that, until now, Uzi Landau appeared able to reconcile
being in a party that featured the radical program of Yisrael Beiteinu head Liberman
[create a sovereign Palestinian state in "less-than-Auschwitz-borders" with security for
Israel ostensibly provided via the deployment of various foreign troops inside the
Palestinian state] on the grounds that it was completely irrelevant for the coming years.
But now that Liberman is pressing for the implementation of a program rather than just
writing proposals that are utterly and completely ignored the situation has changed.
That Bayit Yehudi is on the rise was dramatized when a Former Peace Now Activist announce plans to
Run with Jewish Home [T. Belman: This is very important. While the left paints Naftali Bennett and Bayit
Yehudi as extreme, Roth shows otherwise. Anyone can feel comfortable in this party or when voting for
it, if they accept reality and like to build a bridge between religious and secular Jews.] Such optimism is
reinforced by awareness that Bennett Rebuffed Foreign Pressure to Move Leftward, recognizing that 22

Regarding Maimonides and the Coming of the Triumph of Truth through G-d, the following is an e-mail
response to a Coptic Priest; the author asked that it be published without attribution, as she wanted all
the critical comments that it might elicit.
There is a 26 foot cross (a symbol of worshipping a false idol for Jews) at Auschwitz
Pope John Pauls cross! What hubris and disrespect at a site to commemorate the
genocide of Jews, many at the hands of Catholics! (They made a god out of a dead Jew
and began denigrating and murdering Jews)! Jerzy Kichler, former head of Polands
Union of Jewish Councils, noted that Jewish tradition does not allow Jews to pray for
dead relatives in the presence of symbols belonging to another religion.
The late (2012) Coptic Catholic Pope Shenouda III, viewed as one of the great
patriarchs, banned his followers from traveling to Jerusalem while it was under Israeli
control. Members who didnt follow his direction faced ex-communication from the
Church. Shenouda even instructed clergymen in Jerusalem NOT to offer communion to
pilgrims visiting Jerusalem!

In follow-up of my patients unhappy experience, the Lower Makefield Community

Responded to Anti-Semitic Graffiti. My patients daughter wrote this to a Muslim leader:
Dear Noor,
This is Samantha Raker. I wanted to reach out to you to express my gratitude to
you. Your kind words of support mean very much to me. I found you to be so
comforting and I want to thank you for holding me while I cried on Friday. You
made an impact that I will always be grateful for and will never forget. I was
wondering if I may quote you for any press releases or print that may come up?
You told my father and me if we needed escorts, security and the like, you'd
arrange that for us. If it's ok with you, I would like to be able to share that
information because I feel it's important. Please let me know how you feel
about that. I also want you to know you'll always have a friend in both my father
and me.
This was the reply:
You are welcome and thank you for the blessing in your letter to me.
How are you doing now?
Yes you may quote me and please let us know how we can help you and your
father.
Please keep in touch.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit.
Peace and love, Noor
Somehow, one would think that someone would want to honor Noor, eh?
Noting that AG-Kane grand jury may miss New Year's Eve deadline, discourse triggered by DD continued
[Kanes Racial Claims A Complete Lie], as DD [defending AG-Kane] admitted it was possible that
problems at home were affecting her work and that resolving those issues may remove a distraction
and allow better focus:
Unsanctioned R says December 29, 2014 at 12:15 pm:
Politics can be tough on families. No one would fault her for resigning to
reprioritize family.

Unsanctioned R- Or maybe the problems at home were affecting her work, and
now resolving those issues may remove a distraction and allow better focus.

@ DD: Your bag of rationalizations seems bottomless; at least you have tacitly
admitted that she hasnt paid sufficient attention to detail.
Unsanctioned R says December 30, 2014 at 10:06 am:
David, once you have kids, youll understand that if you start treating them as
distractions at home youre in a nearly unredeemable place.

Jim says December 30, 2014 at 6:14 pm
Ive said this numerous times on this site. Sestak cannot beat Toomey. Toomey
goes to bed at night praying that Sestak is the Democratic nominee.
A piece declaring there to be a Tight Toomey-Sestak Senate rematch in PA being eyed in 2016 prompted
me to comment by citing what Id written on PoliticsPA regarding the potential for Josh Shapiro to win
the nod.
Again, although I am a republican I must dispute this formulation.
Josh can $-raise and Will tout a good record that would justify re-election.
Sestak has baggage and a leftie foreign policy; as much as I have attacked Josh for
ignoring Iran during the past half-decade, he would be preferable.
The result would be a clean fight devoid of personal attacks.
A comment in the original piece attacked Toomey, prompting my back-and-forth reply:
Toomey stabbed the conservatives in the back,,, telling us he was against amnesty and
then voting for it. Also in that CRomnibus bill was another little tid bit that will let the
banks pull the same stunt they pulled when the taxpayers had to bail them out a few
years ago. I'm a conservative but I will not support or work for Two Faced Toomey. I'll
vote for a real Democrat rather than a Republican acting like a Democrat. C'mon Mr.
Sestak, you got my vote this time around.
*
I share your sentiments, and a cynic would suggest this posture was adopted to
undermine "indie"-opposition; yet, you would be foolish to empower Dems under these
678

circumstances [recalling Reagan' "80%-rule." Recall, also, the Buckley-Rule [support the
most conservative individual who can win]; redirect your angst elsewhere.
*
Robert B. Sklaroff Lie to me and pretend to be something your not and you don't get my
vote. If you pretend to be for or against something right up until the vote, you lose any
confidence I might have in you. Toomey is done as far as I'm concerned. As for voting for
the most conservative,,,,same thing as voting for the lesser of two evils and we can all
see where that has gotten us. A little evil here and there and the whole system is evil.
It's time to clean house of the conservative posers.
*
Again, pragmatism must rule, for federal posts have national import; better you should
focus on - for example - helping McCain's opponent emerge victorious.
McCain's big purge - The Arizona senators team has been ridding the states GOP
apparatus of his tea party foes.
Dom Giordano has labeled Corbett as a RINO, particularly because the GAS TAX IS TO ADD 10 CENTS PER
GALLON STARTING THURSDAY; it remains unclear as to whether the legislature will attempt to pass
anything Corbett could sign prior to Wolfs swearing-in. Also, the PA SUPREME COURT RULED AGAINST
LIFETIME REGISTRATION FOR JUVENILE SEX OFFENDERS; note that Saylor is to take over as PA's new
chief justice.
It is desirable to characterize those who attempt to shape Conservative opinion; for
example, Richard Viguerie properly doubts Obama's Amnesty will be opposed by The
New GOP Congress [citing 'Rain Dance': GOP Leadership May Be Developing Plan To
Solidify Obama's Executive Amnesty and 5 Reasons We Can't Wait to Fight Obama's
Amnesty] and highlights the fact that Laurence Tribe [a prominent lib] Said Obamas
Clean Power Plan Is Unconstitutional; on the other hand, he is a neo-isolationist:
The Cato Institute feels U.S. Must Tell Ukraine No to Joining NATO, now
that the Ukrainian parliament has repealed the law barring participation
in NATO. It claims via tortured logic replete with conjecture that
joining could be counterproductive for Kiev. Some Ukrainians may
imagine that NATO would protect them from Vladimir Putin. But if the
consequence was a full-blown war, as is likely, it would be a disaster for
Ukraine. Moreover, the West doesnt have the will to act. In 2008
Georgians expected the American military to come to their rescue in
their war with Russia. However, Washington would not go to war with
Russia over such minimal geopolitical stakes. The allies made a similar
assessment of Ukraine. Despite abundant verbal support, practical aid
has been limited. {Forgotten is the ability of Putin to control oil pipelines
and to threaten to blackmail European governments if left unchecked.}

679

It will be easier to track how he portrays Cruz within this context; it is assumed that he
will be a Rand Paul supporter.
The discussion of BHOs Psyche prompted a response from the original reader, plus two others:
You mention that BHO has mental issues resulting from his being bi-racial. That has
occurred to me many times over the past 5-6 years. On mentioning that, one Do-Gooder
suggested that I was a bigot and racist. The PC crap is way over the top. Your writings
are a breath of fresh air. Thx for your clear understanding and appraisal of what is going
on in our world. So, I'm wishing you a wonderful new year! [From a Pastor]
*
This is regarding your observations on POTUS as to his white mother and black father. I
have a first and second cousins who both married black. All totaled, there are 7 all-girls
off-spring. They are so mixed-up as to whether they are black or white! When they
were younger, they all said Im white like my mother. When they got to be teenagers,
they would all say Im Black like my father. When they were white, they all
straightened their hair; when they were Black, like they all are now, they all have Afros.
When they were little, they wouldnt leave my hair alone! Sometimes I would have
three at a time whirling it and twirling it. But, as Ive repeatedly said, and no one agrees
with me, they all have identity crises in them. They dont know who they are!!!!! Or
what they are!!!!! [From a Patient]
*
Agree Obama is amalgamated but the mind is both amalgamated and combined as a
mix and/or a fusion of certain thoughts. Abstractions on abstractions.
Obamas DNA is 50% white if thats literally possible, but he looks black so he isnt
held as white unless he explains and, even then, he most likely would not be freely
accepted as white [whatever that means these days].
But the idea of his rejection of his whiteness is validated by his remarks and actions. He
acts black in many ways. He also seems to accept being black far, far more easily than he
accepts his amalgamation or whiteness.
Absolutely correct Obama Sr. was anti-colonial. If Obama II was anti-colonial because of
his father thats understandable, but why is he so supportive of Americas enemies
unless he thinks of America as a colonizing power? {You answered your own query.}
If he concludes arguendo that America is a colonizer, that would explain his antiAmerica bias on many issues, but no one believes America is a colonizer. The criticism
against America is that of an Imperialist Culture. {BHO would equate the two.}
Obama would have had Imperial America reinforced especially at Occidental, Colombia
and Harvard by the extremely Liberal professors there. {True.}

680

Obama could be called anti-colonial so far as Great Britain and Kenya, but not as
America. He is consistently pro-Kenyan, but in-consistently anti-American. {Distinction
without Difference.}
Further, his anti-Israel stance is opposite to an anti-colonial stance because Israel could
be viewed as a colony, (it isnt) even though Israel has no colonies of its own. The
conclusion is he is anti-Israel for reasons other than anti-colonialism. Probably because
of the position of the American black cultures towards Israel. Recall Jesse Jacksons
nickname for New York City. ,Hymietown; he hardly protects Israel as one might
support a colony.}
Perhaps Obama is indifferent towards the white races. That idea is refuted by his
remarks about his ceasing to advertise his mothers whiteness; his remark that Trevon
could have been his son; by his shift of the cause of the Ferguson riots first to racism
then to the racism of the Ferguson police and then to the police. ,Hardly indifferent.
The dangers of Obamas anti-white attitude are happening. The courageous responses
of the NYC police by turning their backs on DeBlasio are mirrored by the support from
the white communities across America. The anti-white attitude of the President; the
Attorney General and White House frequent visitor Al Sharpton. {He fomented
divisiveness.}
The division of America continues and will increase as the President continues to favor
the so-called black causes including, especially, his attacks against the police. This will,
unfortunately, not go well for an America already condemned by the Liberals and the
teachers of America who also condemn America. {Concur.}
Michelle Obama's racial obsession is traceable to her semi-illiterate
Thesis on being black at Princeton, which Christopher Hitchens once
noted "wasn't written in any known language." Michelle's thesis is a
devastating indictmentof her, and of Princeton.
As noted supra, members of the TEA {Taxed Enough Already} Party Movement are not convinced that

Amazingly, as Illegal Immigrants are Becoming More Aggressive With Border Patrol, it has been revealed

It has been alleged that the SONY HACK WAS 'LAID-OFF STAFF' and this suggests that the
FBI SCREWED-UP; thus, the FBI was Briefed on this Alternate Sony Hack Theory. It is
ironic that Obama didnt leave any wiggle room in his statements about the hack,
considering the fact that his entire political career is based upon blaming a president for
rushing into a decision to take action against a hostile dictator based upon bad
intelligence.]

It may be recalled that MoMA was visited last weekend, and the following review seemed not to be apt:
The Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World, a challenging show of seventeen
mid-career artists at the Museum of Modern Art. The note of dismay resonates generally today, when
another of Eliots prophetic lamentsdistracted from distraction by distraction, from a year later, in
Burnt Nortonmight be this mornings spiritual weather report. But consider the signal plight of
painting. The old, slow art of the eye and the hand, united in service to the imagination, is in crisis. Its
not that painting is dead againno other medium can as yet so directly combine vision and touch to
express what its like to have a particular mind, with its singular troubles and glories, in a particular
body. But painting has lost symbolic force and function in a culture of promiscuous knowledge and
glutting information. {This view is discordant with reality.}
The Biggest Reason We Steal Other Peoples Ideas is kleptomnesia, generating an idea

plagiarism is all too common in creative work]. {Also note that the Unbroken Review is

simply view it as pedestrian and forgettable.}
Regarding POTUS-16, 15 political questions have been posed for 2015; among Dems, Team Clinton is
Already Dishing Oppo on Jim Webb [e.g., Jim Webb Family Members Earned $100,000 from PAC] and a
Progressive Group advocates Stand with Warren Against Obama [a thinly-veiled rejection of Hillary].
Among Rs, Cruz is billed as a Passover attraction and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence met with Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; meanwhile, Jeb Bush Resigned from Rayonier Board and Former Virginia
governor James S. Gilmore, III is pondering whether again to compete on the national stage.
It has been suggested that a Conservative Approach to Social Programs could emerge
[via the budget] via a Pay-for-Success format [to re-emphasize focus on outcomes and
empathy]; the goal would be to improve the economic prospects of those Americans
who need help the most and to improve their own prospects for 2016.

including senators, governors, lt. governors, congressmen, and attorneys general. Of
those so endorsed, an incredible 20 were elected; this contrasts with, for example,
Hillary Clinton's record of 8 wins out 24 endorsed candidates.}
Regarding [Reverse-]Racism, incidents of unruly behavior continued to occur nationally [Peaceful St.
Louis Protest Ends in Arrest and Black Teen Girls Riot in Pittsburgh Mall, Force Closure] while people
used guns to protect themselves [Homeowner fatally shoots intruder in California, PA and Good
Samaritan Drew Gun and Stopped Domestic Attack]; assaults on Police resulted in the death of perps

On Rosh Hashanah, we say, Happy New Year! thus, citing reciprocity, yall are wished LShanah
Tovah! It may be recalled that an effort will be made *New Years Resolution+ to truncate these Blast
e-mails by focusing on key-themes, namely, promoting Cruz/Walker for POTUS-16 (either order,
tentatively) and rooting for BB to remain PM (despite BHOs full-court-press); other concerns
(particularly Kurdistan) will be promoted (absorbing prompts issued by Dr. Sherkoh Abbas), and
otherwise-ignored state-wide concerns (such as whether AG-Kane can survive) will be monitored. As
usual, feedback (oral and written) will be prioritized (particularly if its critical of what has been
disseminated); supportive observations will also be conveyed (reinforcing the view that people are
perhaps taking-note of what has been codified herein). {Also note The Top News Stories of 2014 in 47

Recovery from a 4-day flu is almost complete (except for desquamation of circum-nasal
irritation provoked by having consumed at least two 200-tissue boxes); it initially
evolved normally (minimal bilateral pharyngitis gone within 24-hours), but it yielded
residual rhinorrhea/sinusitis for an extra two days (associated with malaise that
prompted off-and-on slumber for a total of 18-hours during a 24-hour time-frame).
{Also, in the world of medicine, a former editor of the British Medical Journal

Was able to absorb The Hobbit *IMAX/3D+ during a respite during NYs

loyal to Tolkien, although the viewers in their 60s thought the battlescenes might have been truncated [although gorgeous, engaging,
imaginative, etc.].
Im otherwise healthy, but a medical-colleague (who is a few years older) said his
symptoms persisted for a week and a friend with chronic illnesses (lupus and Sjgren's
Sjgren's started last week and is still suffering with inter alia GI-symptoms, although
her husband recovered relatively rapidly) ; this epidemic has prompted Cautious Doctors
to Use Telemedicine to Diagnose Flu. Allegra-use was a mis-step, because its not to be
recycled but once daily; once 4-hour pills were invoked (enhancing the aforementioned
hyper-somnolence), symptoms became more manageable. Obviously, the flu-shot
proved useless, per the CDC, because the current virus has mutated; had symptoms
persisted, Tamiflu would have been invoked.
During CNN's 8th annual New Year's Eve telecast from New York City [with anchor Anderson Cooper and
comedienne Kathy Griffin], the cable newser featured a segment from Havana, Cuba, and, while the
network expressed hope for renewed relations between the US and Cuba, anchors made no mention of
the Castro regime's arrests of pro-democracy activists this week in an Effort to Stop 'Freedom' Rally.
686

Under-reported is the fact that the US Spy Traded in Obama Cuba Deal Still Missing and newly-elected
Sen. COTTON claimed it is APPALLING TO CONSIDER US EMBASSIES IN TEHERAN and HAVANA BEFORE
JERUSALEM; meanwhile, Obama accelerates the emptying out of Gitmo. Editorializing predictably, the
NYT lamented that Cuban oppression will give GOP ammunition to retain embargo.
First, a few follow-up items are of-interest. Paul Linkmeyer [West Goshen N-1
Republican Committeeman] compiled a history of the Civil Rights movement in America
[highlighting the GOP-component thereof] that also encompasses issues related to
Native Americans and Womens Suffrage; Philadelphia-themes in this reformatted
history are bold-printed. It is suitable for framing *for use during February, Black
History Month and for political-education within the urban regions]; it recalls Michael
Zaks superb and terse book, Back to Basics for the Republican Party.
Second, regarding the Iggles, two articles capture the current mood
[Eagles face Nick Foles dilemma and Front-Office Discord Creates
Concern About Chip's Future+; Im agnostic, in this regard. I remain
highly-opinionated regarding a huge-development in the JoePa world
[NCAA ADMITS REDACTED DOCUMENTS IN PENN STATE-SANDUSKY
CASE NOT PRIVILEGED] which could yield a conclusion that PSU was
bullied and, thus, that the win-erasure could/should be reversed.
Third, A friend reports that, back in the 1990s, there was a similar anti-Jewish vandal in
Newtown Township, Bucks Co.; his Courier Times story got picked-up by the Inquirer,
and went national. Some dolt smashed a Menorah in someone's front window at
Newtown Grant development; as a response, every neighbor on that street put a
Menorah in their front window that year. Heightened awareness is mandatory, both
overseas [London Could See Surge in Anti-Semitism Ahead of General Election, Warns
Senior Labour Politician] and domestically [Islamic Compliant: Publisher HarperCollins
Axes Israel from Middle East Maps, Later Apologizes]. {Also note that Lorenzo Delpani,
the Italian-born CEO of United States-based cosmetics company Revlon, allegedly
believes Americans are "dirty" and "small-minded," that "Jews stick together," and that
he has the ability to "smell a black person" upon entering a room, according to a
lawsuit.}
Fourth, regarding BHOs Psyche, the reader persisted in claiming it is
clear that Obama could be called anti-colonial so far as Great Britain
and Kenya, but not as America; he is consistently pro-Kenyan, but inconsistently anti-American. After challenged *distinction without a
difference+, this was received:
1.
Great Britain and Kenya. Colonial power and a
colony. America - No colonies at all.
Thats about as big a difference as a difference can be. A
colonial power presents Obama the opportunity to be
against colonialism but because America has no
colonies America cannot be said to be a colonizer
against which an anti-colonial mentality could apply.
687

It simply makes no sense to consider Obama anticolonial where America is concerned.

2.

Obama is pro-Kenya.

Hes in love with the place because its his fathers

home and homeland. The scenes where he is weeping
at the grave of his father who abandoned him show
some of the basis for the psychological damage, the
loneliness, from a father who abandoned him almost at
birth and a mother who abandoned him several times.
Obama exhibited no such love for America anytime but
he certainly accepts the idea that the riots in Ferguson
and the arrest of Professor Gates rise from the Racist
American culture.
Thats as anti American as it needs to be to qualify him
as anti-American.
Obama is not consistently neither pro nor antiAmerican but he certainly doesnt display affection for
America. Neither does Michelle who is insufficiently
intellectual for which she holds white America
responsible. Shes a Princeton Affirmative Action
student and graduate who is consumed by her
blackness or perhaps because of her sense of
inadequacy the psychological basis is transferred to the
white race. She is neither neutral so far as race nor
objective towards other races. Read her Princeton
thesis for confirmation.
The point is neither Obama nor Michelle are satisfied
with America but based on their complete lack of any
apparent pride for America they appear to be covering
outrage against America.
Just as a bank robber doesnt have to rob every bank to
be identified as one who robs banks, neither do Obama
or Michelle have to run around saying and doing unAmerica things to be called anti-American.
But even worse, they just dont behave like they like the
country.
So Barack has loads of support from his wife to dislike
America but he can be called anti-American on his own.

688

Inasmuch as BHOs apology tour was predicted on his view that the
USA has colonized the world economically and militarily *de facto
rather than de jure], I remain skeptical.
Fifth, a childhood friend concurred with my assessment of the FLOTUS-thesis that it is
neither coherent or valid; he noted that she quoted a scholar for whom she says she
could not found any empirical support but used anyway.
Some long-term pals suggested that my son might be becoming a squishy-lib because of his having
emphasized the import of the Senate-Dem CIA-Report; Id felt it to have been remiss for not having
vetted documents by including interviews, although Id been willing to accept the concept that those
who violated rules (such as stressing the relatives of interrogation-targets, including one with a low-IQ)
should be subject to some sort of punishment. On the other hand, all the libs with whom I chatted were,
ultimately, not willing to ignore the need to used enhanced interrogation for imminent ticking-timebombs; this was the endpoint *because BHO isnt prosecuting, and it seems clear BHO was caught
because of water-boarding].
Then, along came my son, armed with a colorfully-written hyperlink [The 11 Most
Psychotic Things D ick Cheney Said About Torture on Meet the Press] that stripped-bare
my insulation, for Cheney seems not to have disputed the key-contents of Feinsteins
revelations *Cheneys immediate response when reminded of a man who had been
mistakenly detained, then doused with water, and chained to the floor where he froze
to death: But, uh, the problem I have is with all the folks that we did release that end
up back on the battlefield]; the logical-fallacy, here, dates back to when we all took the
SATs *true, true, but unrelated+. ,Know that my son also referred to BHO as a Foolish
consequentialist.It may be recalled that the CIA-agent who subjected KSM to this approach reported it had been effective
and that, after having provided an overview of reactions to the report, the cogent arguments in-defense
of this approach were summarized and then analyzed dispassionately:
Karl Rove said Diane Feinstein reminds me of the Red Queen of Alice in Wonderland
conclusions first and investigation never. He quoted Decision Points by George W.
Bush (pages 168-170), which documented the thread of info that proved enhanced
interrogation was effective. The interrogation program started when 13 techniques
were reviewed and 11 approved, proving Bush-43 was NOT uninformed by a rogue-CIA.
It was first directed at the recruiter for bin-Laden [Abu Zubaydah], who was
waterboarded and revealed additional planned attacks on U.S plus who had conceived
logistics for 9/11 and post-9/11 plots of follow-on attacks [Romsi ben-Asheeb] who was
also subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques. These two lead to the mastermind
of 9/11 [Khalid Sheikh Mohammad+, who said, Ill see you in New York with my
lawyers; but, after he broke, he IDed the head of the militant group Jemaah Islamiah
who led their efforts to work in SE Asia [Riduan Isamuddin, a.k.a. Hambali]. He gave up
his brother, who was in charge of the effort to attack the west coast of the United States
[Rusman Gunawan]; as a result, 17 members of his cell [who were in-training to
probably use aircraft to attack sites on the west coast] were swept-up. As a result of
subjecting people to these techniques of interrogation, the CIA learned of Canary
Warf and attacks on Heathrow *London+ and U.S. Embassies and military bases abroad.
689

To obtain some balance, note a key-quote from an article drawn from

Feinsteins CIA-dissing report [Did torture really help U.S. find al Qaeda
chief Hambali?+: KSM told CIA interrogators in early 2003 about a plan
to have a former resident of Baltimore, Majid Khan, send $50,000 to
southeast Asia to fund al-Qaeda attacks. The spy agency says that
information helped investigators uncover a network of terror suspects
in southeast Asia that led to Hambali himself.Before KSM gave up
information about Khan during interrogation, the CIA was already
assembling leads that would eventually bring it to Hambali, the report
said.
This last sentence was very deftly composed for, taken @ face-value, the time-line it
purports to have existed was postulated to have had the potential to eventually ID
Hambali, but it doesnt undermine the conclusion that KSM had IDed Hambali before
whatever pending leads had become manifest *also leading to his having been IDed+.
The take-away, here, is that Cruz simply [correctly+ said, torture is wrong as a go-forward posture;
thus, the remedy must be to allow for water-boarding (because it worked and is only arguably torture)
in extremely-rare cases.
Following the death of Mario Cuomo, he was Remembered for Being Personally
Opposed While Publicly Supportive of Abortion; US Abortion Clinics Shuttered to
Record Low, as PLANNED PARENTHOOD PERFORMED NEARLY ONE MILLION ABORTIONS
IN THREE YEARS and PLANNED PARENTHOOD PERFORMED 174 ABORTIONS FOR EVERY
ADOPTION REFERRAL IN 2014. Much of the renewed attention is predicated on the
increase in politically-charged statements from Pope Francis, who has Sparked Debate
on the global Economy and the Environment; although conservatives consider it to be
Wishful Thinking that The Lefts Fantasy About the Pope and the President will be
consistent [recalling the Cuba-coordination], it seems clear that there is a hint of
liberation theology in what is emerging from the Holy See.
29 Conservatives Can Oust Boehner as Speaker and, according to Erick Erickson [subbing for Rush,
today], there are now 25 nay-votes; at least one Conservative Rep has said publicly, I Will Not Vote for
John Boehner and a Poll showed Republican Voters Overwhelmingly Want Members to Remove
Boehner as Speaker. Sean Hannity Called For Trey Gowdy To Replace Boehner As Speaker, but Gowdy
Declined; also, Sean Hannity said Every Republican Congressman Must Reconsider Boehners Cred After
the Scalise Scandal exploded. Opinions have been condemnatory [Sarah Palin: Scalise Defenders are Like
Those Who Gave Obama Pass for Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers Ties; USA Today and Chicago Tribune
Editorial Boards To Boehner Ally Scalise: Resign; Mark Levin: Jeb Bush Must Answer Whether He Stands
with Boehner, Scalise Amid White Supremacist Scandal; and PAPER SLAMMED MCCARTHY FOR
DEFENDING SCALISE]. Some have articulated Lessons of the Steve Scalise Debacle.
Kenny Knight, a longtime advisor to Duke, said he invited Scalise (who was his neighbor
at the time) personally and insisted in an interview with the Washington Post that "I
don't think Scalise knew anything about EURO." Knight said he and Scalise were friendly
and Scalise knew him as the head of "our civic association," but that they "wouldn't talk
about race or the Jewish question." Knight told Slate that Scalise actually spoke to the
690

local civic association in the same hotel space as the EURO meeting, before that meeting
started. And in subsequent interviews with other reporters, details in Knight's
recollection of the event 12 years ago have cropped up or changed. Knight has since
changed his story considerably in his latest interviews with several media outlets.
The state's Indian American Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal was quick to
fire off a statement calling Scalise "a good man" and expressing his
confidence that Scalise "absolutely rejects racism in all its forms."
Scalise is and has clearly been aware of David Duke's white supremacist views, but that's
not what he pointed to as the "first and most important thing" in a 1999 interview with
Roll Call about why Duke wouldn't make a good congressional candidate. "The novelty
of David Duke has worn off," Scalise. "The voters in this district are smart enough to
realize that they need to get behind someone who not only believes in the issues they
care about, but also can get elected. Duke has proven that he can't get elected, and
that's the first and most important thing."
Scalise voted twice against making Martin Luther King, Jr. Day a state
holiday in 1999 and 2004 as a state legislator. And in 1997 he voted
against a bill prohibiting hate crimes based on race, class or sexual
orientation. And New Orleans Advocate politics blogger Stephanie
Grace says that Scalise once told her he was like David Duke without the
baggage.
Scalise's version was sharply questioned; figures in both parties expressed incredulity at
his claim that he was unaware of the nature of the group he spoke to in 2002, just over
a decade after Mr. Duke won 39 percent of the vote in a bid for the governorship that
drew worldwide attention. In my view, it is the ongoing interaction with Knight that is
problematic, for it bespeaks a pattern of cozying-up to a known-racist. Overall, because
you cant beat someone with no one, it seems that it is no accident that Gohmert just
defined GOP Priorities in 2015 as being Amnesty, ObamaDontCare, and Energy.
It has been correctly claimed that Stopping Obamas Amnesty is the Battle of Our Time, as
implementation efforts are continuing [as predicted] apace [Luis Gutirrez to Kick Off Nationwide Exec
Amnesty Education Tour in Rhode Island and California DMV Hired 900 New Workers To Deal With
Onslaught Of Illegal Immigrant Drivers]; it is indeed ominous that [as predicted] an OBAMA ADVISER
claims a GOP PRES WILL NOT BE ABLE REVERSE POPULAR AMNESTY. Ignored by the media, as usual, are
crimes committed by Illegals [Illegal Immigrant Accused of Choking Woman, Tying Her Up with Extension
Cord and Kidnapping Baby+, and a former member of the Gang of Eight, Rubio, has been reduced to
whining [Obama Inaccurate and Unwise in Calling Republicans Nativists].
Meanwhile, the national-focus on the [Reverse-]Racism issue remains trained on NYC, as
De Blasio reappointed a judge who had freed men who threatened cops and De Blasio
Aides Urged NY Lawmakers to Denounce Police Union President; although this War on
Cops is A Narrative The Media Ignore, the predictable stance of the New York Times
[Has de Blasios Back In Stand-off With Police] may not work, for De Blasio Could Cost
New York the DNC Convention Bid.

691

Multiple gun-related incidents continue to occur, both protective [Pastor Shoots Attacker Inside Church
and Texas Sheriffs Deputies Save Womans Life and Prevent Suicide By Cop] and destructive [Man Kills
Girlfriend While Shooting Gun to Celebrate New Year and HOUSTON MAN KILLED BY RANDOM NEW
YEARS EVE BULLET; indeed, even cops arent always careful enough with the guns they own, noting that
a Police Chief Shot his Wife. Thus, gun-laws will continue to be controversial, despite the fact that
political verdicts seem to support dominance of the 2nd Amendment [WENDY DAVIS ADMITTED SHE
WAS FAKING SUPPORT FOR GUN RIGHTS TO GET VOTES and Gabby Giffords Gun Control Group Seeks
Cash and Guidance After Midterm Losses].
Per Gallop, in 2014, four issues generated enough public concern over enough months
for at least 10% of Americans, on average, to identify each of them as the nation's most
important problem. Complaints about government leadership -- including President
Barack Obama, the Republicans in Congress and general political conflict -- led the list,
at 18%. This was closely followed by mentions of the economy in general (17%),
unemployment or jobs (15%) and healthcare (10%); this is the first time the economy
was not the #1 concern. Thus, in 2016, Democrats will be on Thin Ice with White
Working-Class Voters.
One would think that, in 2016, Jim Webb is already keenly aware of this
fact, having claimed that White Working-Class Voters Whipping Post
for Dem Activists.
Thus, Republicans have disrupted Democrats' demographic advantage; the Democrats'
working-class-whites problem is serious. In midterms, Republicans won white voters
without a college degree by 30 points. Support for Obama among working-class whites
has dropped 8 points since 2010. Democrats have chosen to focus on issues that the
liberal base of the party really likes, but the working-class person in West Virginia or
Arkansas or Louisiana or Alaska doesn't necessarily identify with,' said political analyst
Charlie Cook. Cook pointed to those four states to argue that Democrats are a
'marginalized party' across much of the country.

692

Regarding POTUS-16, the Top 16 Republicans in the field [includes Bolton, excludes Pence] have been
defined and refined, often imaginatively; consider these New Years resolutions for Republicans.
Predictably, MARCO RUBIO is engaged in wishful-thinking when he claims IMMIGRATION REFORM NOT
A POLITICAL BONANZA FOR GOP IN 2016 [recalling he remains unpopular due to his involvement with
the Gang-of-Eight]; similarly, SEN. JEFF FLAKE [another Establishment-RINO, just as is his Arizonacounterpart, McCain] IS URGING PRO-AMNESTY 2016 CANDIDATES LIKE JEB BUSH TO SKIP IOWA.
Indeed, that JEB IS SKIPPING IOWA [Steve King/Citizens United Iowa Forum] is reminiscent of the fact
that Romney never addressed any TEA Party Movement groups; this is not a healthy way to reach
out.
Jeb Bush is being portrayed as The GOPs Hope For 2016 and, stretching credulity, a Top
Bush Ally Claimed Jeb is Against Amnesty. Indeed, Bush, 61, lamented Romney's
handling of the criticism [of his business background, and recently told Miami's WPLGTV that Romney should have told voters: "I'm a problem-solver. My life has been about
building things up." Of his own business record, Bush said: "I'm not ashamed. Taking risk
and creating jobs is something we ought to have more of." As predicted previously, a
Longtime Romney friend said Hes standing by to rescue the party from nominating Ted
Cruz.
What this confirms is that the GOP-Establishment fears Cruz maximally. Know that, at age 32, Ted Cruz
became the youngest state Solicitor General in U.S. history; after graduating from Harvard Law School,
Cruz clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist [the first Hispanic to ever clerk for a
Chief Justice]. Later, during the 2000 Florida recount, Cruz served as a chief legal advisor for the George
W. Bush campaign, and recruited future Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to join the team. He
has been racking-up revealing media-appearances regarding Cuba [with Wolf Blitzer], condemning
Obamas Abuse of Power' [edited-out from a Face the Nation interview], and tracing the history of the
Mexican-American War [in Dinesh DSouzas America]. Note the transcript of his Annual Helms Lecture
last year [The Vital Role of the Senate in Foreign Policy], the video of his concerns with US-Russian
Relations, and a summary [and video] of his overall condemnation of Obamas Foreign Policy
[Weakness Is Provocative]. He wants more foreign [legal] workers and, contrasting with Bush [vide
supra], Ted Cruz is to Speak at the South Carolina Tea Party Convention.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/251556349/Thoughts-XCIII-Recap-2016-PA-Senate-Israel-Islamism
Again, the just-remitted Blast e-mail was rather comprehensive, and the key-points therein are worth
reiterating prior to covering the Media, Pennsylvania, and Foreign Affairs; the major time-sensitive issue
is to exert maximal effort to displace Boehner *for having violated his transparency pledge (72-hour
posting prior to voting), his Hastert pledge (having invoked Dem-votes for the Cromnibus) and, overall,
for having cozied-up to BHO (particularly with regard to spending and Immigration)]. That the Scalese
matter has arisen yields increased desire to clean-sweep them all [including McCarthy], although this is
probably too ambitious; I like Louis Golmerts folksy-style [and politics, and directness] and Tom Prices
steadfastness [for he is near/dear to my heart, inasmuch as he said he remembered me @ meetings of
the American Society of Internal Medicine from two decades ago, when Guzzardi and I chatted with him
@ Toomeys swearing-in (evening) party].
Other issues covered included follow-up of myriad concerns (e.g., BHOs Psyche, antiSemitism, CIA); the importance of recognizing the positive GOP-influence on the Civil
Rights Movement; the Popes impact on Abortion and other political issues; and the
emerging Bush-Cruz battle.
I found myself blogging in favor of Josh Shapiro over Joe Sestak, as the Dem to compete with Toomey in
the upcoming 2016 PA-Senate Race; considerable back-and-forth was intended to show how radicallyleftist Sestak has been. I also noted Sharon Attkissons ongoing exposure of BenghaziGate [The Media

Australia joined the U.S. as the only two countries to vote against the Palestinian UN resolution; six
Palestinian Factions had Reject Palestinian UN Resolution for myriad [predictable] reasons. Here, the
U.S. played a crucial role in blocking the UN resolution and the results are also a testament to the Israel
Foreign Ministry's focus on Africa, where Rwanda and Nigeria abstained; Nigeria Abstained specifically
due to its having received anti-Terrorism assistance from Israel. John Bolton correctly observed that The
UN Vote on Palestine Was a Rehearsal [noting anticipated turnover of two seats and, thus, the need for
a US-veto if/when the issue is raised next year]; Israel argued that this one-sided UN Resolution Reduced
Incentive for Palestinians to Negotiate Peace, for it lacked the components that would advance a future
agreement between Israel and the Palestinians and reflected the PA's strategy to bypass direct
negotiations by forcing its positions on Israel through third-party pressure.

After REUTERS reported that the Palestinian draft resolution failed in the UN Security
Council, John R. Cohn, M.D. wrote the following to the editor of the JPOST:
The Jerusalem Post website coverage of the failed Palestinian attempt to gain
Security Council approval of an imposed agreement with Israel reads in its second to last
paragraph, The Palestinians, frustrated by the lack of progress in peace talks, have
sought to internationalize the issue by seeking UN membership and recognition of
statehood via membership in international organizations.
Unfortunately, it is not a lack of peace that frustrates Palestinians. That could be
remedied in an instant, as Anwar Sadat and King Hussein both courageously
demonstrated when Israelis jumped at genuine offers of peace with Egypt and Jordan.
What really frustrates Palestinians is the continued success and even the survival of
Israel, despite their best efforts to destroy it. That is the lesson of Gaza, a state in all but
name, used as another launching pad to wage war on Israel, by leaders who swear they
will never accept one dunam of land for the Jews state. Gazas thousands of missiles
are fired at Israel behind the Green Line, all of which Palestinians call occupied
territory.
What is frustrating for truth is seeing the Jerusalem Post echoing the Palestinian Arab
version of the failed peace process narrative as a cause of Palestinian frustration, when
failure is in actuality the direct result of decades of Palestinians undermining all
attempts to negotiate a genuine and secure peace.
If the Post cannot get that right, what hope is there for Haaretz or the New York
Times?
After the U.N. Security Council failed to approve a resolution setting a deadline for Israel's withdrawal
from the West Bank, Palestinians Moved to Join the International Criminal Court, opening the door to
possible war-crimes prosecutions against Israel; the step was sharply opposed by the U.S. This
Palestinian ICC Move Followed Intense NGO Lobbying and Israel now Faces a New Diplomatic Battle;
Netanyahu feels The Palestinians Have More to Fear from the ICC than Israel and many feel that the ICC
has No Standing to Prosecute Israel. Furthermore, the ICC Route Is Strewn with Complex Legal
Obstacles, for Joining the ICC Wouldn't Guarantee Palestinians a War Crimes Case; thus, it is unclear
whether Abbas is Serious about this effort. {Note this prcis on the ICC.}
This is what the Palestinians can anticipate, now that it has petitioned the ICC:
The prosecutor's office will consider Palestinian crimes as well as those by Israel. If the
court investigates the recent Gaza conflict, it's all but certain that Hamas' indiscriminate
rocket attacks and certain other tactics would receive immediate scrutiny.
The U.S. Congress has already warned about cuts in U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority
if it joins the ICC. As the New York Times reports, "The United States Congress had long
threatened to impose sanctions against the Palestinian Authority, including the loss of
about $400 million in annual aid, if it joined the court."

This initiative illustrates why the US and the EU are to blame for failure of the Peace Process, for even
MK Moshe Feiglin [a rival against BB within Likud] concluded the Failed Palestinian UN Bid constituted a
Victory for Netanyahu; he issued this statement despite the fact that he managed only to win spot #27
[considered to be an unrealistic spot to be included within the Knesset] in the just-completed election.
The components of The Next Netanyahu Coalition are still unsettled, but it seems unlikely Feiglin will
bolt to join any other party [recalling his strident e-mails favoring efforts to work from within+; The
political assassination of Moshe Feiglin allowed Netanyahu to regain control of Likud. A piece suggesting
Naftali Bennett could be good for Israel has arrived on-cue, constituting another effort to undermine BB

Because 76,000 People Died in Syria's Civil War in 2014, Desperate for Soldiers, Assad's
Government Imposed Harsh Recruitment Measures; all of this raises the question as to
whether Syria's Moderate, Secular Southern Front Rebels Survive:
Advances by the Islamic State in eastern and northern Syria are pushing
the remnants of the so-called "moderate" armed opposition squarely
into the Syrian regime's line of fire. In the south of the country,
however, a coalition of 50 armed secular and nationalist rebel groups
known as the Southern Front (SF) has been able to hold territory for
many months in the governorate of Daraa.
The SF coalition, which has forged tactical alliances with the al-Qaedaaffiliated Nusra Front, falls under the umbrella of the Free Syrian Army,
but has generally disassociated itself from the opposition Syrian
National Coalition (SNC) on the grounds that the SNC has lost legitimacy
697

because it is primarily composed of exiles. Since late 2013 some of

these factions have reportedly begun to receive more substantial
training and weaponry from Western and Arab countries.
The coalition represents the type of partner that the international
community seeks in Syria - credible and militarily capable enough to
hold contested territory, while willing to countenance a future Syria that
is secular, nationalist, inclusive, and respects minority rights. Any
freezes in fighting in the north should not allow the regime to use freedup forces to turn its firepower southward, where rebel rule is providing
one of the few blueprints for how Syria could emerge from this crisis.

In my view [per numerous op-eds co-authored with Dr. Sherkoh Abbas], the pathway
the USA should choose to vet potential allies is to invoke the Kurds; they know the

Meanwhile, BB still must handle domestic terrorism [Palestinians Firebombed Jewish Homes in
Jerusalem; Young woman killed, two others hurt in West Bank stabbing attack; and Palestinian Who
Stabbed Two Israeli Policemen in Jerusalem Arrested in Ramallah] as he now can characterize the
Palestinian Authority as an Entity Allied with a Terror Group [Hamas], Not a State; evidence for this
conclusion is overwhelming [PA Glorified Synagogue Killers as Islamic Martyrs]. Meanwhile, Hamas
continues to agitate [Court Convicts Hamas Mastermind behind Kidnap-Murder of 3 Israeli Teens and
Israeli Security Center Published Names of 50 Killed Terrorists "Concealed by Hamas"] while it
experiences internal strife [Hamas Struggles to Find a Direction After the Gaza War; There is tension
between Hamas Military and Political Wings and Hamas Government Employees went on Strike over

Christians in Gaza Fear Future.
Israel also is monitoring Iran, noting that its Strategic Priorities Remain Intact; nothing
much has changed since 1979 [noting the relationship between Ayatollah Khomeini and
the Jews]. It is not surprising that IRAN wants SAUDI ARABIA TO STOP OIL PLUNGE, for
the price-drop has yielded predictions that Inflation Could Skyrocket in Venezuela Next

minorities, and Heavy Air Pollution in Tehran caused 400 to be Hospitalized. {Note that

the fact that one in three Germans supports anti-Islamization PEGIDA marche. Yet, in

DEBKAfile Key Articles from the Past Week
[This recapitulates what has been covered.]
{Most-Recent is on top.}

Meshaal on point of relocating Hamas' political headquarters from Doha to Tehran

Hamas' political leader Khaled Meshaal, having found sanctuary in Doha from Damascus, is again being
hounded from pillar to post. DEBKAfile: A deal struck this week between Egypt and Qatar could force the
Hamas leader to take up residence in the Iranian capital. This would afford Tehran a foothold in the Gaza
Strip, its second Mediterranean outpost on the Israeli border after Lebanon. The Egyptian-Qatari memo
of understanding, signed in Cairo Wednesday, Dec. 24, pulls emirate support from Brotherhood and
Hamas operations against Egypt and Saudi Arabia, confines aid to "civilian projects" in Gaza under
Cairo's oversight.
Given the close cooperation maintained at present between the Egyptian president and Israeli Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on affairs relating to Gaza, Israel will implicitly have the right to disqualify
certain Palestinian projects in the enclave; The emirate is not required to sever all its ties with the
Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, just to keep them under control as its "strategic reserve."

Libya asks for help to put out blaze at oil terminal, cites terrorist hand

699

The blaze which broke out in Libya's eastern oil terminal Thursday has spread to five storage facilities
nearby. Omar al-Snaki, interior minister of the Tobruk parliament-backed government said Sunday that
the storage facilities were "targeted by the Dawn of Libya terrorist militias." He called on the envoys of
the US, Italy, Egypt and Germany for urgent help to put out the fire. DEBKAfile adds: Those militias are
allied with al Qaeda, which Libyan officials visiting Cairo warned Sunday were reaching out to grab
Libya's oil facilities.

Iranian general killed in action against ISIS in Iraq

Iranian Brig. Gen. Hamid Taghavi was killed in battle against ISIS in the Iraqi city of Samarra north of
Baghdad. According to a statement by the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, the general was "martyred
on a mission to advise the army and Iraqi volunteers." DEBKAfile: The statement is misleading: Gen.
Taghavi was commander in chief of Iran's Iraqi Shiite militias who are fighting the Islamic State under the
aegis of the Rev. Guards.

US rejects Palestinian UN motion as not constructive

Washington Monday rejected the Palestinian UN move as an attempt to "circumvent peace talks with
Israel for statehood and "not constructive." State Department spokesman Jeft Rathke told reporters:
"The resolution fails to account for Israel's legitimate security needs, and the satisfaction of those needs,
of course, integral to a sustainable settlement."

Israel's March election not likely to change government

The election campaigns for Israel's March 17 general poll are by and large lackluster while exhausting
the electorate's patience with drummed up scandals. On the traditional issues, no party leader can
promise to alter the Obama administration's views on Jerusalem, or break down Palestinian Authority
resistance to a negotiated peace. Opposition efforts to prioritize social disparities in place of the security
concerns or the Palestinian issue fall flat, whereas the chronic faultfinding over the soured relations with
Washington has faded since President Obama hitched his Mid East policy to the Iranian cart.

Netanyahu thanks US, Australia, Rwanda and Nigeria for votes

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Wednesday thanked four nations for helping to defeat a Palestinian
statehood resolution in a UN Security Council. He said: "I would like to voice appreciation and thanks to
the United States and Australia, and also special appreciation for the president of Rwanda, my friend
Paul Kagame, and the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan. I spoke with both of them. They told me
and promised me, personally, that they would not support this resolution. They kept their word, and
that's what clinched this matter. I think this is very important for the state of Israel," the premier said.

UN rejects Palestinian Israel withdrawal timeline resolution

700

The United Nations Security Council Tuesday rejected a Palestinian resolution demanding Israel
withdraw from disputed territories within three years. The US and Australia voted against; Russia, China,
France, Argentina, Chad, Chile, Jordan and Luxembourg voted in favor and the UK, Lithuania Nigeria,
South Korea and Rwanda abstained. The resolution was submitted by Jordan after its endorsement by
22 Arab states and the Palestinian Authority.

Russian cooperation with US on nuclear Iran in doubt after new sanctions

Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that a widening of US sanctions against Moscow this week
may hamper bilateral cooperation on issues such as Iran's nuclear program and the Syrian crisis.
Iranian nuclear program, the Syrian crisis and other acute international problems," the ministry said.
"As Washington could have seen previously, we don't leave such unfriendly acts without an answer," the
statement added. DEBKAfile: This is the first time that Moscow has turned screw on the Iranian and
Syrian issues following US and EU sanctions over Ukraine. Our sources in recent months predicted that
Russia would ratchet up its Cold War stance at some point, in response to these penalties.

Shas loses second leader. Der'i quits Knesset

After his rival Ellie Yishai quit the ultra-religious Shas party to set up a new faction, Arye Der'i Tuesday
stepped down as leader and then gave up his Knesset seat. He quit after TV Channel 2 aired a tape of
private comments by the party's late spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef some years ago, in which he
ruled Der'i unfit to serve as party leader after being jailed for embezzlement. His resignation leaves Shas
leaderless and seriously undermines its prospects in mid-campaign for the March 17 general election.

Captured Jordanian pilot says an ISIS missile downed his jet

The Islamic State has released what it claims is an interview with the Jordanian pilot who was captured
by the militant group after his plane went down over Raqqa, the ISIS-held town in northern Syria, last
week. It quotes 26-year-old Mu'ath al-Kaseasbeh as saying that his F-16 fighter jet was downed by a
"heat-seeking missile." The US and Jordan both denied the plane was shot down.

Two Palestinian drive-by attackers shot by IDF patrol

The two Palestinians, aged 17 and 18, were caught in the act of lobbing an explosive device at a passing
Israeli car Tuesday morning near Beit Omar outside Hebron. The IDF force which saw the incident
opened fire on the Palestinian vehicle and wounded the two attackers, one seriously.

Syrian army entrenches in recaptured Quneiitra

The Syrian army has stabilized its control of Quneitra on the Syrian Golan, from where it was pushed out
by rebel forces in September. To block the rebels' return, Syrian troops are building defense barricades
to the northeast of the region around al-Baath City and its surrounding countryside.

701

ISIS forces massing in central and northern Syria

ISIS forces are reported by Western military sources as massing heavily in central and northern Syria,
especially south of Aleppo, where they are preparing for an offensive to retake the Kuweiris military air
base, which the Islamic State army captured before and from which it was driven out by Syrian troops. A
second ISIS build-up is taking place at al-Sukhna, east of Palmyra in Homs Province.

Abbas signs Palestinian application to join International Criminal Court

A day after the Palestinian bid for a mandatory Israeli withdrawal to pre-1967 lines failed at the UN
Security Council, Mahmoud Abbas signed a Palestinian request to join the International Criminal Court.
He plans to bring prosecutions against Israeli officials for alleged war crimes. Binyamin Netanyahu: "That
step will be blocked too. If anyone needs to fear facing the international court, it is the Palestinians."

Saudi King Abdullah admitted to hospital in Riyadh

The official statement said that Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, 91, was admitted to the
National Guard Hospital in Riyadh Wednesday "for medical tests." The monarch has been treated there
before for back trouble. DEBKAfile adds: In view of his great age and the fact that a private hospital was
installed in the palace years ago, Abdullah's removal to a regular hospital signifies a deterioration in his
health. The monarch, who rules the world's biggest oil exporting country, suffers from chronic back
ailments, overweight and the effects of heavy smoking. In recent weeks, he was rarely seen in public
appearances or state events.

UN fiasco for Abbas, campaign coup for Netanyahu

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' motion to dictate a timeline for Israel's withdrawal to pre-1967
lines and a Palestinian state was defeated at the UN Security Council. Had it mustered the mandatory 9
votes, it would have been vetoed by the US. Its re-submission next year in the hope of a more proPalestinian Security Council lineup will be just as problematic. So will Abbas' threat to bring Israel before
the international court for alleged war crimes. For Prime Minister Netanyahu, the vote was a election
campaign coup against rivals who accuse him of Israel's diplomatic isolation. Even if the international
court accepts the Palestinian case, they themselves will have opened the door to the prosecution of
countless numbers of Palestinians responsible for decades of terrorism and other crimes against
humanity threaded through Israel's history.

Primary confirms Netanyahu as Likud leader followed by his loyalists

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was safely returned by more than 80 pc to the leadership of the
Likud at the party primary held Wednesday ahead of the March 17 general election.
Roughly 55 percent of the Likud's 96,651 registered voters cast three ballots on Wednesday: one for
party leader, one for its Knesset slate, and one to grant Netanyahu the discretion to choose two
candidates for safe seats. Netanyahu's loyalists reached the top 10 slots, barring Miri Regev who has
702

spoken against the prime minister's policies. Two far-right candidates dropped out of realistic places on
the slate. The latest opinion polls assign Likud 24 seats out of 120 in the next Knesset (up from the
current 18). The top ten emerged from the count of 90 percent of the ballots:
1 Benjamin Netanyahu; 2 Gilad Erdan; 3 Yuli Edelstein; 4 Yisrael Katz; 5 Miri Regev; 6 Silvan Shalom; 7
Moshe Yaalon; 8 Zeev Elkin; 9 Tzachi HaNegbi; 10 Danny Danon.

Obama's 2015 gift for Israel and Mid East: Funding for a new Iraqi army - dominated by Iran's Rev
Guards
President Obama's New Year's gift to Israel and the Mid-East: a multibillion fund for restoring the Iraqi
army as a division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC). Wednesday, the last day of 2014, two
defense ministers, Iran's Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqani and Iraq's Khallid al-Obeidi, signed a pact whereby
Iran i.e. the Revolutionary Guards will "continue to train new Iraqi military units for replacing the army
that crumbled under the onslaught launched by the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant since last June.
"We do not see any other option that cooperation and being on the same side as Iran to uproot the
terrorists," said the Iraqi general.
The IRGC's Dep. Com, Brig. Gen. Hossein Salami, said this week that Iran was assembling from the Shiite
militias fighting in Syria and Iraq "an army larger even than the Lebanese Hizballah." Obama's financial
and military assistance for this army commits the US to forging a strong military bond with Tehran and
helping make Iran the foremost Mid East military power.

and they served as a model for the Hanoi Hilton]. This friend also provided feedback
regarding the CIA-Torture issue, claiming history (or experience) and common sense
are necessary to make ANY judgment; he also said a member of the office of the
(current) US Solicitor General said that there is a general feeling that, if Gitmo prisoners
were transferred to US prisons (even SuperMax), Jihadis will storm the prisons. {Also

The Wanamaker Organ, the worlds largest

[Virgil Fox: The King of Instruments+
The first priority is to recap what just transpired [Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) announced
Sunday morning *on Fox & Friends+ that he would challenge current Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) in
his re-election bid] and how this precise eventuality was predicted in a Blast e-mail that was remitted
two days ago [n.b., last sentence]:
Scalise's version was sharply questioned; figures in both parties expressed incredulity
at his claim that he was unaware of the nature of the group he spoke to in 2002, just
over a decade after Mr. Duke won 39 percent of the vote in a bid for the governorship
that drew worldwide attention. In my view, it is the ongoing interaction with Knight that
is problematic, for it bespeaks a pattern of cozying-up to a known-racist. Overall,
because you cant beat someone with no one, it seems that it is no accident that
Gohmert just defined GOP Priorities in 2015 as being Amnesty, ObamaDontCare, and
Energy.
The interim event [Rep. Ted Yoho Joins Movement Against Boehner, Offers Himself As Potential
Alternative] was catalytic [and intuitive, again reflected in the above-summary+; noting that Yohos
resolution was used last month by Boehner to create a false-method to oppose funding BHOs AmnestyOrder, it would be anticipated that he will have served his purpose and will now defer to Louis [who is
consistently superb].
Also, Fox News Channel host Greta Van Susteren said the incoming GOP Majority Whip
Steve Scalise (R-LA) should step down over last weeks controversy that erupted over
allegations Scalise spoke at a 2002 white supremacy event *If you want to send a
message to the American people, Republicans and Democrats, this would have been the
707

opportunity to say, he should have stepped-aside.+; its unclear whether she would
want him to step-down *from his position+ or to step-aside from a leadership
position but, regardless, she captured the sentiments that were also conveyed in the
above-graph. Some suggest the former would be desirable *Steve Scalise and the Lost
Art of Honorable Resignation]; this controversy compounds Boehners growing problem.
Regardless, the focus must be trained on the Speakership [FreedomWorks Directing Calls To Congress
Urging Boehner Ouster] which was endorsed immediately by Sean Hannity; this challenge is explicitly
based upon recognition of a pattern of 'Years of broken promises.' Corroborative is this 5-minute video,
which was created after the RNCs 08 POTUS-Convention; it explicitly indicts Boehner for having
presided [via teleprompter, ignoring the voice-vote of the delegates] as the RNC "Scripted" RulesChange that Started A Civil War In The Republican Party. {Also note that David Duke said hed Met with
Democrats at Least 50 Times.}
The Migrant flow from Caribbean has spiked; somewhat surprisingly, Deportation fears
rose in Miami as relations with Havana revived. Guzzardi quoted Navy pilot, Rep. Steve
Bridenstine (paraphrasing): You don't take as a hostage, someone the other side wants
to shoot.Department of Homeland Security appropriations expire in February, when
Republicans will supposedly fight to defund the illegal amnesty plan created by the
president. Does anybody believe that Obama is concerned about Republicans not
funding DHS? Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have already sued the
administration for not allowing them to enforce the law." {This also recalls why the
Bergdahl-swap was problematic, for BHO acquired damaged-goods [a deserter with no
military future] that the Taliban were happy to relinquish to obtain release of five
generals [who probably are already back into the fight].}
In conjunction with the ongoing fact that the southern border is porous,
a report by retired-Sen. Tom Coburn concluded that the Dept. of
Homeland Security Failing Five Main Missions:

DHS spent $50 billion over the past eleven years on

counterterrorism programs but cannot demonstrate if the nation is
more secure as a result.

700 miles of the Southern border remain unsecured.

DHS is not effectively administering or enforcing the

nations immigration laws. Only 3 in 100 illegal immigrants will ever face
deportation.

DHS spends more than $700 million annually to lead the

federal governments efforts on cybersecurity, but struggles to protect
itself and cannot protect federal and civilian networks from the most
serious cyber attacks.

DHS has spent $170 billion for natural disasters since

2002, in part because of an increased federal role in which the costs of
small storms are declared major disasters.
Regarding [Reverse-]Racism, the damage appears to have been done; a NYPD Officer
