Col. Lawrence Wilkerson Predicts A Constitutional Crisis If America Attacks Iran
On September 12, 2011, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff to Colin Powell, warned that America is being foolishly led into a disastrous war with Iran that will spark anger in the Pentagon and create a "huge constitutional crisis," in Washington. Speaking to an audience in Washington D.C., Col. Wilkerson said:Right now there is a move similar to the move with Iraq in say, 97' and 98, but today with regard to Iran. And it is made even more poisonous and dangerous by the fact that it is attached to an issue that we simply cannot deal with rationally in Washington - Israel.He added:
We're marching towards, with the neocons and others who are advocating it, another war with Iran. And the military wants out of that. There are some in the military who'll go right along with it, of course, but the basic leadership of all the services and the Joint Chiefs of Staff kept George Bush and Dick Cheney from going to war with Iran by their reluctance to go along and their constant drumbeat of 'You can't mean it, Mr. President. Another theatre in Western Asia?'
We can't even handle the two theatres we've got. And you want another theatre? You've hired enough private contractors to equate to another army, and another navy, and another marine core just to do Iraq and Afghanistan. How many contractors you're going to hire to do Iran?
We're talking about seventy one million people who are much more fused than Iraq was. You're talking about a five-year ground combat campaign to conquer a nation that is not going to give up until you've killed at least half of that population.
So, watch carefully, as we move through the next few years and these people try to build the drumbeat for war with Iran as an inevitability.
Armchair Survivalist
Whenever I get an email that begins "Someday, I'm going to...." or "I read that you really should...", my eyes glaze over and I start to develop a twitch. Over the course of the last couple of years, I have noticed an interesting phenomenon in the survival/preparedness movement. More people are talking about it and fewer people are doing it. As preparedness has become mainstream, talking heads have popped up all over the internet, on TV, in magazines and any other medium willing to capitalize on the newest multi-million dollar industry.
Every wanna be survivalist has an opinion. They have read every book, looked at every product and developed their survival strategy. They all have their pet project and to disagree with them is close to a mortal sin. They wax eloquent about their plans for food storage, alternative energy, personal hygiene and practical medical protocols. But they have never done any of it.
Jew-Free Palestinian State? Yes!
Verbatim Post
======================
A Jew-free Palestinian state is a wonderful idea! A salvific precedent! A new world order! It would then mean there could be an Arab-free Israel, a Albanian-free Serbia, a illegal Mexican-free America, a Muslim-free America, a Negro-free Cherokee Nation. This is what we’ve all been waiting for, right?
Wrong. The rest of us certainly aren’t getting it. No one else gets to exclude Jews, or whomever it is they want to exclude. Why should the non-existent “Palestinian people” be awarded such authority? This is not the way the world works. Racially homogeneous nations are generally those no one else wants to live in, for obvious reasons of privation, disease, immorality, and the generally depressed, miasmic social atmosphere.
“Palestinian” Ambassador to the United States Maen Rashid Areikat, reiterating his call for a Jew-free Palestinian state.Of course, the political manipulators immediately tried to reverse, or at least moderate, Maen Rashid’s hardline expression. “Jews are welcome,” they say. What artfully meaningless words. (They must hire Obama as their spokesman when he leaves America.)
Though no one has ever demanded that American Indian nations must include non-Indians amongst their citizenship (until now, anyway), America itself is expected to accommodate all foreigners–even our deadliest enemies. Our traitorous government even encourages our enemies to come. Though it is not written in any nation’s constitution, and certainly not in America’s constitution, the universal concept is that any person has the right to live anywhere in the world he wants. There is no sanctity of land or nationhood. It’s all a political process, or a economic process.
Besides, Israel can’t afford to have a seething enemy next door. The Palestinians have proven completely untrustworthy, ever-willing to cooperate with any and all of Israel’s enemies. If Israel didn’t police the Palestinian ghettos there would be major military installations in every building, with innumerable missiles pointed at Israel. The whole Arab mind-set is profoundly and consistently violent against Israel.
Also, “Jew-free” implies that the so-called “Palestinians” are the rightful owners of the land. They aren’t. There is no “Palestine,” there are no “Palestinians.” This is a fabricated socio-political illusion. They people are mostly Jordanian, some southern Syrian, and a lot of imported Arabs and some Iranians–professional mercenaries. It is an infestation of anti-Jewish factions. “Jew-free”? They’re lucky there are Jewish authorities among them. They’d have all killed each other by now.
American Indian nations? They are based on blood. If you don’t have the blood, you’re not part of the people. It is an abstraction, a theory, to think that a nation is without blood. America has blood, originally. White, Anglo-Saxon Protestant blood. The language is English. I believe the people who created the country have the right to determine who their citizens are, or aren’t. Some people are more suited to being American than others. Each country should have the right to let in whom it will, and to exclude whom it will. That is the point of nationhood, is it not?
But America is terrible confused right now. We have an alien, lying, black African Communist Muslim traitor appointed as our president. This says it all, really. This is what happens when self-righteous white Oedipal liberals are in charge. Their purpose is to destroy the fathers’ behest. This they do by removing all laws and sense designed to protect the nation. They present themselves as loving egalitarians, but they are self-righteous coercivists. They don’t believe in freedom or equality, really. They believe in their own power to rule. That’s it all. This is manifested in parasitical deconstruction, behind the propaganda slogans of “reform,” “progress,” or “change.”
There will never be a Palestinian state. There is no “Palestine.” There are no “Palestinians.” The socio-political entity could only hope to be a Muslim conclave, or a small caliphate. But, as it stands, there is not enough unity in the ghettos to even conceive of that. They barely put a soccer team together, and that’s because they part of an international philanthropic effort–and they hired an Austrian coach in 2004 and 2006 (Alfred Riedl). It’s called nation-building by fad, trend, and not a little anti-Jewish philanthropy.
The land belongs only to they who are strong enough to take it and hold it. There is no other known human experience. This modern tampering with self-righteous coercivists who think they can determine who has the “right” to what is sheer arrogance.
No one has rights. One has either strength, or weakness. Indians were strong, once. America had to negotiate with Indians. I don’t say might makes right. I say might decides what’s considered right, and enforces it. In the case of America, the fathers decided the Bible was the basic standard of right and wrong. The Bible doesn’t really advocate closed borders so much as national standards. If you want to live in a nation, you become as that nation commands. You don’t try to make that nation like you, when you’re the foreigner. The integrity and existence of each nation depends on a uniform application of its laws. Leviticus 24:22 says it all:
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country, for I am the LORD your God.
Blithering idiot

Mr. Obama, to Create Jobs You Need the 'Stossel Rule'
The president thinks jobs come from new laws:
“ If you want construction workers on the worksite, pass this bill. If you want teachers in the classroom, pass this bill. You want small business owners to hire new people, pass this bill. If you want veterans to get their fair share of opportunity that they helped create, pass this bill. If you want a tax break, pass this bill."
Just this week, the President said “pass this bill” 90 times.
The president is wrong. Hiring doesn’t come from new laws. It comes when government gets out of the way and leaves all of us with simple and predictable rules.

“A very interesting event in the history of this period of the war, was the unsuccessful mission of Vice-President [Alexander H.] Stephens, to the Federal authorities, designed, as explained by President [Jefferson] Davis, “to place the war upon the footing of such as are waged by civilized people in modern times.” Consistent with the forbearance and humanity, with which Mr. Davis has endeavored to prevent war [with the North], by negotiation, was this effort to soften its rigors and to abate the bitterness which it had assumed.
Recent atrocities of the Federal authorities had compelled the Confederate Government to seriously entertain the purpose of retaliation. Reluctant to adopt a course which would remove the last restraint upon the spirit of cruelty and revenge, making the war a system of unmitigated barbarism upon both sides, President Davis determined to make an earnest appeal to the humanity of the Federal authorities. In addition to this object the mission of Mr. Stephens sought the arrangement of all disputes between the governments, respecting the cartel of exchange, upon a permanent and humane basis, by which the soldiers of both armies should be sent to their homes, instead of being confined in military prisons.
To make the mission more acceptable to the Federal Government, President Davis removed every obstacle to intercourse upon terms of equality, and selected a gentleman of high position, of known philanthropy and moderation, and from several reasons likely to obtain an audience of the Federal authorities. The choice of time was not less indicative of the magnanimity of Mr. Davis.
The Confederate army was then in Pennsylvania, apparently upon the eve of a victory already assured, and which, if gained, would have placed it in the possession of the Federal capital and the richest sections of the North. At such a moment, so promising in opportunity of ample vengeance for the ravages and desolation, which everywhere marked the presence of the Federal armies, the Confederate President tendered his noble plea in behalf of civilization and humanity. With rare justice has it been said, that this position of Mr. Davis “merited the applause of the Christian world.”
Mr. Stephens was contemptuously denied even a hearing. The sequel soon revealed the explanation of the conduct of the Federal Government, by which it became doubly-chargeable for the sufferings of a protracted war, in declining to aid in the abatement of its horrors, and by abruptly closing the door against all attempts at negotiation.
General Meade had repulsed General Lee at Gettysburg, while Mr. Stephens was near Fortress Monroe. Flushed with triumph and insolent in the belief that Lee’s army could not escape destruction, the Federal authorities declared such intercourse with “rebels” to be “inadmissible.”
In other words, detention of the Confederate prisoners, and outrages upon the Southern people, were part of a political and military system at Washington, and would be persisted in.”

We have descended into the “rabbit hole”
Daily Bell: Is it true that the status quo is leading the country, and possibly the world, into totalitarianism?
Nelson Hultberg: Absolutely. We have descended into the "rabbit hole" of Alice and Wonderland politically and philosophically. Up is down, and down is up under the collectivist worldview. "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean – neither more nor less." The collectivists have so corrupted our language that the slavery of socialism is now a "new kind of freedom."
Marx understood all this very well. Corrupt the money and the language, and capitalism will fall. The statists are shameless in their shyster usage of words. And the masses are unable to see the semantic fraud involved. Thus with each passing decade, we drift further and further into total government.
The status quo of statism that began in 1913 and solidified itself with FDR and LBJ is bankrupt. It has no answers. It destroys freedom and prosperity as tuberculosis destroys breath and lungs. Yet it continues to move us into the morass of political absolutism because the integrity of our money and the clarity of our language have been turned into tools of tyranny.
