And Europe Worries About Iran?

17 Mar

Noted Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld stated that Israel could find itself one day forced to exterminate the European continent using all kinds of weapons including its nuclear arsenal if it felt its demise neared, stressing that Israel also considers Europe a hostile target.

“We have hundreds of nuclear warheads and missiles that can reach different targets in the heart of the European continent, including beyond the borders of Rome, the Italian capital,” Martin van Creveld said, adding that most of the European capitals would become preferred targets for the Israeli air force.

Kinda a spine chilling statement by Martin van Creveld Martin Levi van Creveld (born 5 March 1946) is an Israeli military historian and theorist. Van Creveld was born in the Netherlands in the city of Rotterdam, but has lived in Israel since shortly after his birth. He holds degrees from the London School of Economics and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he has been on the faculty since 1971. He is the author of seventeen books on military history and strategy, of which Command in War (1985), Supplying War: Logistics from Wallenstein to Patton (1977, 2nd edition 2004), The Transformation of War (1991), The Sword and the Olive (1998) and The Rise and Decline of the State (1999) are among the best known. Van Creveld has lectured or taught at virtually every strategic institute, military or civilian, in the Western world, including the U.S. Naval War College, most recently in December, 1999 and January, 2000.

OK! Well he is without a doubt an expert on the subject of military and America has used his resources to its advantage. So that puts enough backing that what he says is what Israel says…

I have looked him up and whether he said this a few days ago or not, really does not matter to a hill of beans! He said it and has said it several times in several forms and ways, to several groups of people.

He has the military pulse of Israel and when he answered a question once about Israel he said: “Replying to a question whether Israel does not have fears of being classified as a criminal state if it expelled Palestinians, he said, “Israel is a state that does not care about what others say about it and you must remember the saying of former defense minister Moshe Dayan when he said that ‘Israel must always act as a wild dog because it should be dangerous in the eyes of others, rather than be harmed.’”

You can thank America for arming this “wild dog” with nuclear weapons so that it can mark its territory when the time comes…

Chipping Away At Freedoms!

16 Mar

Censorship

Censorship

It is not the first time I have touched on Freedom issues and will not be the last. I have made it clear over the years that “Freedom is in the mind of the beholder!” Other words what means freedom to you may not be crap to me…

America is no more free than most countries in this world. Just a different set of freedoms, with a different set of rules.

So today lets touch on Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura is an American politician, previous governor of Minnesota, retired professional wrestler (Jesse “The Body” Ventura), Navy UDT veteran, actor, former radio / television talk show host and lately contributing editor on Huffington Post!

The last one is what we will focus on for this article. Jesse was asked to write for the Huffington post and Jesse did just that. He was asked to write about anything that he wanted to express about and he did just that. Then the ax dropped after just a couple of posts…

Jesse had a article about the 9-11 terror issue. He quoted a few paragraphs from his book that he wrote called, American Conspiracies, to give some backing to the reason why more than one thousand architects and engineers had signed a petition demanding that Congress begin a new investigation into the destruction of the World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11.” because these architects see the signs of a controlled demolition as an important issue.

The article was front and center, (as we say) of Huffington Post when it first was printed, but after just a few hours it kinda fell off the earth.

Now all that you see is an editor’s note saying, “Editor’s Note: The Huffington Post’s editorial policy, laid out in our blogger guidelines, prohibits the promotion and promulgation of conspiracy theories — including those about 9/11. As such, we have removed this post.

The note is followed by three pages of comments, that were gotten in before Huffington Post cut it off at the quick…

Looks like Huffington Post could not handle the heat from the government pressure it seems. For this was not a conspiracy situation but an asking of the facts to be re-verified. I know because I was one of the commenters and could not believe that article was censored. I was actually proud of Huffington Post for printing a breath of fresh air!

The 9-11 subject is very taboo in America and anyone who questions the facts of 9-11 are labeled as theorist, terrorists, trouble makers and about 20 other names. They are labeled and that is the problem. In this case it caused a censorship of a very serious article.

Jesse has a no holds approach to life and that is OK with me and is why I like him.

Jesse is correct when he says that:

“We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it’s not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We’re not free – if we were, we’d allow people their freedom.”  (Jesse Ventura)

I feel right when a man like Jesse who is a Navy SEAL amongst other things, questions our freedoms in America. When he brings to front issues that really need to be communicated about and not hidden in the shadows.

Then he is censored. That means we are censored and our freedoms are not just in danger, but are blowing away in the wind as we read this article…

Government Out of Control!

12 Mar

find the government worker
When did the civil servant or public servant of American society become the epitome of that same society?

“A civil servant or public servant is a civilian public sector employee working for a government department or agency. The term explicitly excludes the armed services, although civilian officials will work at “Defense Ministry” headquarters. The term always includes the (sovereign) state’s employees; whether regional, or sub-state, or even municipal employees are called “civil servants” varies from country to country. (Link)”

In America as in many countries the civil servant is an individual that seems to delight in making your life a living hell. Almost anyone can recall a story, that they have experienced about a government worker that literally turned a 5 minute job into a week! (only a week if you were lucky)

One such time for me was in a small town that I lived in. This town was the county seat and that means that if you need to get tags for your car, that is the place you went in that county. The tag office was open Tuesday and Thursday of every week from 10am to 2pm. The same office on Monday, Wednesday and Friday became the County Tax Commissioner’s office, open from 8am to 4pm. Same employee, same building and same service from hell…

On Tuesday and Thursday you were guaranteed to have a line of people waiting for the doors to open to try to achieve the objective of getting tags for your car. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday the place was empty. Taxes were paid by mail 99% of the time and you only had to go to the County Tax Commissioner’s office for issues that would arise.

The person that ran this den of hell was as bad as the hours on the door. She would take one look at your paper work and push it back at you with a smirk and the words, “Read the sign on the wall to your right and when the paper work is according to that sign then come back to me!” Then she would look past you and say “NEXT!”

As you stood there and realized that you would not be getting tags today or maybe not for a month. The 30 days that you had to get tags for your car and stay legal, looked mighty short after this woman was through being a civil servant… :)

In my day a government job did not mean you made more money than the private sector, it meant that you had job security and good benefits that equaled the higher pay of the private sector.

I have been reading several articles (more like many articles) about the level of American government employee pay!

Sometimes Things Hit Close To Home!

11 Mar

school closed

Is the School Closed?

I was actually stunned by an article that I read about in CNN!

Superintendent John Covington called for the closing or consolidation of almost half of the city’s public schools. A divided Kansas City school board voted Wednesday to approve the downsizing.

The plan shutters 28 of Kansas City’s 61 public schools, cuts 700 jobs and saves $50 million to help reduce a burgeoning deficit

This hit me strange because when I was younger and lived in the Kansas City countryside – we were bussed to these huge Kansas City inner schools because of desegregation

These schools were huge, plus packed with kids that could careless about going to school and more about drugs!

Coming from a country school that had maybe 25 per class and only one class. It was a strange experience taking two hour bus rides to get to a school so big that you could spend all year in classes and never see everyone enrolled there.

It just seems strange that the Kansas City school systems have lost so many students that they are forced to close half the schools and reconsecrate.

I remember even going to school at night because we were so short on space that the schools systems had to run double shifts to keep the classroom size below 35 or 40 students…

Now they close half the schools…

When Expectations – Exceed Expectations!

10 Mar

My Grandma use to say, “Do not put anyone on a mountain top, because the fall is just too far!”

What did she mean by this statement? She meant that you should never put a person higher in your mind than true life can support! She would have said this about Obama and all the “Change” idiocies that have accompanied his rise and falling…

I never really cared for Obama and did not vote for him. I saw him as just another politician that gave a good line of “bull and crap”. So in a sense, I never immortalized him as so many millions upon millions did all over America and the world for that matter.

Americans have a real issue with permuting an individual and creating them into a ace of an individual that exceeds all expectations. We never expect the same out of ourselves, as much as we expect out of certain people that have been put into the limelight.

This is a paradox that confronts movie stars, politicians, law enforcement and multiples of other entities that make up our everyday existence.

I have been watching Obama and his Administration struggle with the “expectations – exceed expectations” syndrome for over a year. It is beginning to look like Obama is failing at the task of living up to “Expectations”!

It is going to cause distress when he hits the ground after tumbling from the mountain top…
