Adjectives important in WAR TIME REPORTING

In reading this morning's News-Press, the News Digest section on the front page reported,in small print, "A suicide bomber detonates his explosive vest .... killing eight Americans." What the leading line of the front page of the newspaper should have read in one inch bold print is SUICIDAL MILITANT ISLAMIST JIHADIST MURDERS EIGHT AMERICANS; that would have described what happened in a much more focused and truthful manner consistent with what is really happening in the war against jihadists which is a fight to the death initiated and continued by this murderous faction against western ideas, freedoms and civilization. This is going to be a WAR that will last a long time; probably until the great majority of peaceful, law abiding Muslims stand up and crush this faction of their high jacked religion from the people who would use it not only to kill infidels (non-Muslims) but their fellow Muslims who just don't go along with their brand of Islam. Until this happens the WAR will continue to go on and more and more people will die using Allah/God to justify their actions. This is the greatest sin of all.

Excited

I am very excited; I have just become an international blogger. I received a comment, a positive one, on my last blog. The gentleman goes by "Fighter Jet" and resides in India and is in the consulting business. Now my reach goes beyond McHenry County Illinois to the vast world encompassing the Internet. The truth will set us free...the media is being forced to be fair and balanced or those who are not will go out of business...there is hope so do not despair.

Wow...did you really get CHANGE?

You were promised during the campaign:

• CHANGE
• BIPARTISANSHIP
• TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT
• NO MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASES

And what did you get:

• NO REAL CHANGE
• NO BIPARTISANSHIP
• NO TRANSPARENCY OF GOVERNMENT
• ALL SORTS OF MIDDLE CLASS TAX INCREASES FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR GREAT GREAT GRANDCHILDREN

REMEMBER THE PROMISES AND WHO PROMISED THEM AND WHAT PARTY THAT HAD HIM AS THEIR CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT AND DO THE RIGHT THING THE NEXT TIME YOU VOTE!

President "plan a day" Obama

It seems that every time I turn on the radio, watch the TV or open the newspaper President Obama has a new plan to announce for the day. Usually they are vague, cloudy, foggy and don't contain any specific details on how he is going to do it or afford it. The one thing it does do is keep his face and voice in the public venue....like he really is doing something. Announcing a plan of the day and really getting something accomplished are two different things. Just like a politician's promises and what he really accomplishes are two different things. Words, promises and plans are nothing unless they accomplish what they are supposed to do...as we all have seen, what politicians say to bolster their image and improve their public approval rating is one thing and what they really do can be a world apart. So listen to all the nice talk, promises and goals but follow them up by seeing if anything ever gets accomplished. Look in today's Herald and read about his new plan of the day, his "job - creation plan". I can also promise you the world and everything in it but if I were you I would not believe me because I couldn't deliver on my promise. So BEWARE of prophets and Presidents bearing to many promises.

Mr. President, be a Leader not a Lawyer!

"Change","we can do it" and all the energy of the Obama campaign: where has it gone? When I was listening to the address the President made to the cadets at West Point Military Academy I felt as though he was giving a eulogy at a funeral. President Obama, the Commander in Chief, the supreme leader of the military of this great nation first asks these brave, young, courageous young men and women to do their duty which in many cases means to risk their young lives and is some cases to give their lives for this country and then the next moment he is talking about a withdrawal strategy...what school of leadership did he go to?

The cadets wanted to hear something uplifting, bigger than themselves, patriotic and heroic... not when we are coming home and details of politicians and foreign policy. You may have delivered what the left wanted, the middle wanted and the right wanted but what the cadets wanted to hear was we are in this until VICTORY has be won.

As a lawyer I'll give you an "A" for the speech; as a President, Commander in Chief, and Leader of America an "F". Mr. President, keep trying, maybe someday you will get it...I pray.

WAR is about KILLING

The movie Letters from Iwo Jima is a very good movie but it could never have been made during the days of the Second World War; the timing would have been all wrong. During the war we did not want to think of Japanese soldiers as being human beings with wives and families and the things that are shared by all sentient beings. During war the prime objective is to kill the enemy as fast and in great enough numbers to entirely wipe him out...so that there is not a chance of him coming back some day and re- initiating retaliation. Ancient civilizations knew this simple fact. Today we seem to forget what they knew; they knew that you don't want to understand your enemy you simply want to dehumanize him and kill him before he can kill you.

I understand and respect the position of Professor Marc Falkoff of Northern Illinois University but I disagree with his timing and maybe his motivation because I cannot read his mind. During a time of war we cannot afford the luxury of trying to understand and show the enemy compassion; our job is to win and to win the enemy has to be dehumanized and made into a beast that needs to be killed and destroyed. It is difficult to kill a fellow human being if you attribute to him feelings of love of family, wife, children and all the good attributes we attach to humanity. Therefore both sides, in war, dehumanize the enemy so that killing can be made easier and less traumatic to the individual doing the killing; it is not a natural act that comes naturally to most of us but has to be taught and drilled into us...thank God.

I believe that the time for understanding, showing compassion for reading his reflections and poetry is after we have won the War on Terrorism. To do so when we are engaged in it would only weaken our resolve and focus on VICTORY, a word that I did not hear once during President Obama's speech at West Point.

An Insignificnt Dot: Thought for the Day

A certain distinguished career politician once declared at a political meeting: "to a career politician, man is nothing more than an insignificant dot in the infinite universe."

"I have often felt that," said Einstein. "But then I realize that the insignificant dot who is man is also the career politician."

*words inserted and changed from the Einstein quote by myself (boldened and italicised)

Carbon...the reason we ARE

Carbon, a product formed by second generation stars going super nova along with most of the other elements found in the Periodic Table with the exception of hydrogen, nitrogen and lithium, which were present following the presumed "Big Bang" is the basis for life on this Earth. We believe this to be so because carbon has four valence bonds. These valence bonds possess the required energy to make or break a bond just at the correct level for building molecules. These molecules are not only stable but also reactive. These carbon atoms bond to one another and can build long and complex molecules with a myriad of geometrical three dimensional shapes and different sequences of the bonded molecules.

The closest element in the periodic table that might under some circumstances with certain permutations on some planets that could possibly support life-like processes would be silicon; but this according to most scientists would be a stretch of the imagination.

Carbon based molecules are responsible for the things living things need to exist:

• Proteins
• Nucleic Acids
• Carbohydrates
• Fats

It is remarkable that the very element which is primarily responsible for our biochemical existence is now anathema and must be taxed and removed from our Earth according to some elements of the so-called scientific community; which I believe is junk science. I believe this is simply a way of creating a world type government and supplying it with the needed resources (money) to support its fictional doctrines and control the masses; don't forget what our forefathers said...the power to tax is the power to destroy... and obviously control people.

Just thing of it...some day a global government (not elected but selected by a few elite...Copenhagen Agreement?) will impose on us a personal tariff depending on our mass and subsequently our carbon footprint. Just step up to the scale and get your personal carbon tax bill; better stay skinny.

Trust But Verify

I'm from the government and I'm here to help you. Somehow those words send chills up my spine and make the hair on the back of my neck stand up and make me instinctively reach to my left rear pants pocket to make sure it is buttoned tightly protecting my wallet. Like the late President Ronald Reagan said about the Soviet Union: "trust but verify" I say to you about your elected officials in Washington, D.C. ; that applies from the newest Representative all the way up to the top of the feeding chain. Listen not as much to what they say and promise but what they DO. They have speech writers to put the words together to make them sound righteous and filled with qualities of great leadership ability; but in the final analysis the way they ACT through their vote is what really counts. So listen to their rhetoric but even more important make sure what they say and promise is what they DO by their voting to insure that your vote for them was not wasted on a liar. Liars don't belong in government or for that matter in any position of trust.

Most important...DO NOT FORGET...when it comes to voting time if they betrayed you or if they kept their word. Those that cannot be trusted in little things cannot be trusted in big things or for that matter at all...do NOT FORGET!

Obama Stay Home!

Don't go to Copenhagen on the 9th of December for the international climate negotiations and promise things that you really know we can't deliver and would force us into a deeper recession or depression should we endeavor to try to meet your proposed emission cuts (17% by 2020). This would also be a first step towards a world type government (that is not elected) but is comprised of the supposed "elite" who know what is best for the whole of humanity. This is taking us in a direction that the majority of Americans do not want to go. So listen to your American constituency and not listen the idealogs found in "so called" enlightened segments of the world's population, they are leading us all down the wrong and most destructive path...one not based on true science but on "junk science" and disguising falsehoods as truth.

Looking back at America

Following the American Revolution the thirteen states operated under the Articles of Confederation. Men of the stature of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams urged that a Constitutional Convention be called to consider a new document for the new country of the United States of America; a Constitution. In May of 1787 the Convention meet in Philadelphia. After much haggling and many compromises the Constitution of the United States was drafted and adopted by the Convention on September 17, 1787. In order for it to become "thee" Constitution of the United States of America it had to be ratified by no less than nine of the thirteen original states.

Ratification was not an easy process and arguments pro and con were waged vigorously. In response to this process the Federalist Papers were written and published under the name of Publius; these papers were the ablest written to try and convince the state of New York to ratify the new Constitution. They appeared in the New York journals between October, 1787 and April, 1788. It was not until 1804 that their true authors were named by Alexander Hamilton just before his duel and his subsequent death at the hands of Aaron Burr. Those authors of the 85 letters were Alexander Hamilton, John Jay and James Madison.

If you really want to get a "feel" for what the Founding Fathers wanted for this new country Google "Constitution of the United States of America" and read it; it is not that long. Also read "The Federalist...1787 - 1788" and you will get a true insiders interpretation of what the Constitution was intended to mean and connote to the people of the United States.

Even in Death...Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will have won!

Terrorists are successful if they can instill fear in a worldwide audience. On 9/11 they were successful; over 3000 innocent people died while the event was televised all over the world. It was certainly, in an evil sense, a spectacular and telegenic event; what more could any other terrorist hope for. Well how about 9/11 - Two (a Second Edition), a gift to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed a self proclaimed architect of 9/11 given to him by President Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder.

This civilian trial has nothing to do with bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to justice; he has already admitted to doing what he has been charged with and said he is guilty and accepts the death sentence. So what does this civilian trial have to do with except putting the cross hairs of terrorists on New York City again; it has to do with hopefully increasing the political capital of the President and the Democratic Party in view of their rapidly decreasing approval ratings. They need some circuses to feed to the people to give them a "bump" and increase their ratings presumably before the 2010 elections and 2012 Presidential elections. I think this will backfire because of the following reasons:

• Khalid Sheikh Mohammed will be given one of the greatest platforms to spread his vitriol and hatred and profess jihad to the world.
• It will allow his defense attorneys to get through the discovery process all sorts of intelligence material that would put the national security of the United States at risk.
• It would allow his defense attorneys to cross examine witnesses and put them at risk for retaliation and death.
• But most of all it would be a slap in the face of all those innocent victims in the World Trade Center Towers, their families and all the police, firemen and fire women and first responders who gave their lives in the service of their fellow men and women at Ground Zero that day of infamy.

My advice to you President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder is not to proceed with this circus in New York.

CERN to explore Big Bang

What determines mass? A question that nears the top of the list of questions asked by physicists today. Is mass something that is intrinsic to matter or is it imparted to it by something else. That something else many physicists think might be the elusive Higgs Boson (tagged by some as the "God particle). If it does exist and how it works no one knows. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, also know as CERN will probably begin searching for it at the beginning of 2010 at the Switzerland/French border where the world's largest machine is based.

The Large Hadron Collider was restarted on Friday, November 20th. It took about 15 years to build it and was an international collaboration.

In the 1960s, British physicist Peter Higgs postulated a clustering effect of the Higgs Boson as the mechanism which imparts mass. According to mathematical theoretical considerations and experimental suggestions some think the Higgs boson as the single missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. Some think the Higgs boson is a single particle others think it might be several. At any rate it is the single most hot spot in particle physics because it might answer the question of mass or may lead to new discoveries in particle physics. Where it will lead no one is absolutely sure...but it will lead to new and exciting frontiers where no one has gone before.

Iran will implode on itself

The world saw hope for Iran when in June of this year thousands of Iranians poured into the streets of Tehran and protested the "fixed" presidential election.

They stood in solidarity against the mullahs, who let loose their bullying thugs into the crowds to inflict physical harm and harassment on the protesters. The protesters demanded democracy but all they received was imprisonment and torment in the notorious Evin prison.

What did the protesters receive for all their efforts; five were condemned to DEATH; yes DEATH for protesting. The death sentences that were announced this week are hoped to silence the political opposition. They will not silence the opposition to the ruling ayatollah; they will just change the chants of "Death to America," to chants of "Death to the dictator." That is a direct threat to Iran's ruling ayatollah. The movement will not stop, it will grow and grow until the Theocracy crumbles and a more secular and representative government ensues.
It is inevitable.

Diversionary Tactics?

In the February 20, 2009 edition of the Chicago Tribune I read an interesting insight by ANDREW MCCARTHY OF THE NATIONAL REVIEW ONLINE.


"President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, experienced litigators, fully realize that in a civilian court the Qaida quintet can and will demand discovery of mountains of government intelligence...As civilian "defendants," these war criminals will put Bush-era counterterrorism tactics under the brightest public spotlight in American legal history...And because it is unnecessary to have this civilian trial at all, one must conclude that this is what Obama and Holder want to happen.

This will give the hard left its promised feast. Its shock troops, such as the Center for Constitutional Rights, will gather up each new disclosure and add it to the purported war-crimes case they are urging foreign courts to bring against President Bush, his subordinates, and U.S. intelligence agents."

So the reason for the civilian New York trials are for two reasons:

1. To divert the public attention from the miserable failed foreign policies of President Obama and
2. To but the blame on President Bush, as they have been doing since Obama's inauguration.

Wake up America and see the writing on the wall.
