UN Refugee Chief: Security now worse in Afghanistan!

Security in Afghanistan has now deteriorated to the extent that the foreign staff of the UN's refugee agency are unable to travel to half of that country, its top official said Wednesday. The agency now has to rely on local staff or Afghan "partner" organizations to reach the tens of thousands of displaced people and returning refugees it is trying to help, said UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres. He told reporters in Geneva: "Access of our international staff to the territory is now limited to about 50 percent." Guterres said aid workers have become targets for violence in part because the distinction between the foreign military and humanitarian groups has been blurred: Military 'hearts and minds' campaigns intended to win the support of the local population by building bridges and digging wells could easily be confused with similar work carried out by aid groups, making it difficult for villagers to draw the line between foreign soldiers and humanitarian workers, he said. Guterres said the agency has "completely reshaped" its operations in Afghanistan in response to growing threats, including by moving administrative staff to its regional office in Bangkok and investing in security hardware.

How China Holds the American Economy by the Balls!

On May 1, China popped the cork on Expo 2010 in Shanghai, a month-long celebration international celebration of the city, and with it, the entire nation, as a global economic and cultural powerhouse. Jim Chanos, who prophesied the fall of Enron, had argued in April that the country's heated property market was on a "treadmill to hell". Even President Barack Obama expressed concern that that China had not moved its currency to a "more market-oriented exchange rate", but to no avail. His administration stopped short, however, of releasing an April 15 report to Congress expressing his disapproval in concrete terms, choosing instead to trot out the disgraced de-regulationist Larry Summers to soothe the Chinese temporarily.

Doug Bandow from the Cato Institute says We Are a Bankrupt Empire!

The United States government is effectively bankrupt, and Washington can no longer afford to micromanage the world. In real terms, Washington spends more on "defense" today than we did during the Cold War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, in which I served as Advisory Team Leader. Max Boot of the Council of Foreign Relations worries that our increased financial obligations resulting from health-care obligations threaten and a myriad of other outlays are threatening America's "global standing". He asks : "Who will police the sea lanes, stop the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, combat terrorism, respond to genocide and other unconscionable human rights violations, and deter rogue states from aggression?" The United States should not attempt to do everything even if it could afford to do so. But it can't! When it comes to the federal Treasury, there's nothing there. If Uncle Sam were a real person, he would have to declare bankruptcy. The current national debt is $12.7 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that current policy requires spending of up to $10 trillion in deficits over the coming decade, but more spending - a lot more spending - is on the way!

Once more, Israel wants America to obey their orders to destroy our world.

Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had been worrying aloud that Israel might force our United States into a war with Iran. He appears worried that the Israeli leaders have not taken his earlier warnings seriously, despite his unusually strong language. Upon arrival In Jerusalem, Mullen wasted no time in clarifying why he had come: He insisted publicly that an attack on Iran would be a "big, big, big problem for ALL of us, and I worry a great deal about the unintended consequences." No strike, however effective, will be, in and of itself, decisive." Admiral Mullen served, as I did, in the Vietnam War, an he commented that "War is bloody and uneven. It's messy and ugly and incredibly wasteful." He underscored time and time again that war with Iran would be a far greater disaster. Those who are familiar with the military, strategic, and economic consequences at stake know that he is right! Mullen does not believe that a "preventive war" against Iran would be worth the horrendous human cost. Mullen, for his part, is acutely aware that the Constitution he has sworn to defend makes no provision for the kind of war we might be sucked into to defend Israel: The US has NO legal obligation to defend Israel if it ignites a war with Iran!!

The Thugs from Mossad Killed President Kennedy

I was in the Army Recruiting Station in Houston, Texas, to be inducted into the US Army, when I saw Walter Kronkite on the television monitor, crying uncontrollably. Someone at the station told me that President Kennedy had just been shot by an unknown gunman in Dallas, Texas. Now, after so many years and miles, including service as the Intelligence Operations Officer of our 4th US Army in Goeppingen, Germany, and voluntary service in Vietnam with our 1/10 Cavalry Squadron, as well as Advisory Team Leader north of Kontum, and in the so-called "Iron Triangle" near the resettlement village of Trung Lap, I have "seen the light". Though I used t have Jewish friends, and generally felt compassion for the plight of the Jewish people under the Nazis, it appears evident that the Jewish people have a very vicious criminal element, beside which the Mafia look like a bunch of wonderful choir boys. My only regret is that I had been foolish enough to listen to my father, who hated the Nazis, and warned me not to follow in their path.
So- that's why the Jewish Nation needs a Mossad - not to defend their country from the "evil" Arabs, but to whack our American presidents whenever it suits them!!

Life is MORE than difficult for Iraqis!!!

Actually, since our invasion, life is HELL for Iraqi civilians, and it's been a hell since 2003 - the year of our so-called "liberation". A new report by Amnesty International says "hundreds of Iraqi civilians are still killed and maimed every month, and those who speak out, like human rights campaigners or journalists, face constant terror - in other words, life is tough and getting worse every day. Is our United States of America responsible? Of course not: Our US government is entirely IRRESPONSIBLE!!
How can the assholes in our administration sleep at night, in the secure knowledge that their lackeys are making life a living hell for so many honest and decent civilians who only want to survive and provide for their starving families.
Can you handle the truth? Check the Al-Jazeera English website marked: "Life is Difficult for Iraqis". Since "our" so-called "liberation", we have shown the entire world that we can not be trusted to fulfill our fiduciary obligations!

US Flag Recalled after Causing 143 Million Deaths

Fact or Fiction? According to The Onion, a well-known publication dealing mostly with satirical information, this time datelined April 28, 2010 in Washington, and hot off the press: Citing a series of fatal malfunctions dating back to 1777, flag manufacturer Annin & Company announced Monday that it would be recalling all makes and models of its popular American flag from both foreign and domestic markets. Representatives from the nation's leading flag producer claimed that as many as 143 million deaths in the past two centuries can be attributed directly to the faulty US models, which have been utilized extensively since the 18th century in sectors as diverse as government, the military, and public education. "It has come to our attention that, due to the inherent risks and hazards it poses, the American flag is simply unfit for general use," said Annin & Company president Ronald Burman, who confirmed that flag-related deaths had noticeably spiked since 2003. "I would like to strongly urge all US citizens: If you have an American flag hanging in your home or place of business, please discontinue using it immediately." Despite the Onion's "tongue in cheek" remarks, I decided to disregard the Onion's well-intentioned warning and keep on saluting our American flag, which has merely been hanging out with evil companions!
