The treacherous Obama is determined not to depart Washington without creating further world chaos. Now that his Syria Policy has completely collapsed, and the Allies are the gaining the upper hand in the West; Obama is interjecting his unwanted presence into Iraq to wreck Allied gains in the East.
Since the LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon fled from ISIS and abandoned Iraq to its fate, Iraq joined the Allies and took on Chinese and Iranian military advisors, as well as equipping their troops with better-made Russian hardware. During the last six months, they have liberated 95% of Iraq with no US help whatsoever.
What's left of ISIS in Iraq is trapped in Mosul, a city near the Turkish and Syrian borders. Using the threat of a Turkish incursion, Iraq reluctantly agreed to US participation in the attack on Mosul. The Pentagon has rushed in about 1,000 or so troops---all representing diversity no doubt---to give Obama a good photo-op as the Liberator of the Iraqi People. Mostly thus far, the US troops have been restricted to base because civilian snipers have been taking pot-shots at them. Pro-American sentiment isn't running very high in Iraq right now.
General Stanley Votel, the commander-in-chief of CENTCOM and arguably the most incompetent of all Obama's generals is leading the operation. The Battle of Mosul hasn't even started, and it has already been a disaster.
First, Votel has managed to telegraph to the press---and consequently to ISIS---most of his plans and timetables. ISIS is spending the time judiciously: killing several of their enemies and booby-trapping, mining, and barricading Mosul as much as possible. On Monday they took time off from these labors to demolish the historic Church of St. Barbara with dynamite.
Votel's next move, on orders from Obama, was to establish a safe space, or a corridor guarded by US troops and warplanes by which noncombatants could evacuate Mosul before the attack. To no one's surprise other than Votel's, ISIS soldiers have been fleeing down this corridor by the hundreds. According to Kurdish Militia commanders, an estimated 7-10 thousand Jihadists have evacuated Mosul already. Most likely they went for the Syrian border---about 75 miles away---to reinforce their comrades in Raqqa and Deir Ezzur.
As if this were not enough, Votel is discovering to his mortification that he can't make the Turkish forces leave Iraq, as he promised. The unstable Turkish leader Erdogan not only has decided against leaving Iraq; he's decided to march on Mosul himself---with or without US or Iraqi permission. Erdogan dislikes the Kurds even more than ISIS; as Mosul is in Kurdish lands, the problem is obvious.
Obama and his Rainbow-Pride Military have managed, in just a few short weeks, to turn two years of Allied efforts into a quagmire. Yes, Mosul will be liberated. But it will be in spite of---not because of---any US 'help'.
Ultimately, this is not going to end well for the US Military and will be yet another blot on the Obama Administration's disgraceful foreign policy blunders. His bungling---intentionally or otherwise---is also going to protract the Syrian Civil War by several months. But the American public would rather sit in their hookah lounges pontificating on Donald Trump's sexuality than to worry much about ISIS.
"I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help!"
Today, UNESCO voted in favor of a resolution submitted by the Palestinian Authority denying Israel's claim to the section of Jerusalem now the site of the Al-Asqa Mosque and Western Wall. The Mosque is built on the site of the former Temple of Herod which was destroyed by the Romans at the beginning of the Jewish Diaspora.
The 58-member UNESCO board voted 24-6, with 26 abstentions, to deny claims that the Jews had any legal or historical claims to the sites. Despite heavy lobbying from Israel, the UNESCO Resolution read:
"Islamic freedom of worship is being hindered by escalating aggressions and illegal measures. We condemn the continuous storming of Al-Asqa Mosque and Al-Haram Al-Sharif by the Israeli right-wing extremists and uniformed forces, as well as forcible entry by so-called 'Israeli Antiquities' officials."
The US, UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Estonia, and Lithuania were the six nations voting against the Resolution; which passed in spite of US suspension of paying UNESCO dues in protest. Reaction in Israel was predictably furious. Under the provisions of the new law, Jews are allowed to visit the site, but are forbidden from entering Islamic holy sites or reciting Jewish prayers and texts. Israeli leaders are calling for active resistance to the UNESCO mandate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that "UNESCO had forfeited any moral authority" by today's decision.
So here is a question to all those on the Alt-Right, Neo-Nazis, and Manospherians who tell us continually that there is a powerful international clique of Jews pulling the wires on the whole world. How does it happen that this International Jewish Conspiracy cannot even get UNESCO to acknowledge that the Temple Mount and the Wailing Wall are legitimate Jewish cultural and religious sites?
Somehow, though, we don't expect an answer to that question...
During the October orgy of Trump-bashing and clown sightings in the Corporate Media, one of the biggest jokers of them all has resurfaced. Prince Said Al-Hussein, head of the UN Commission on Human Rights, has again interjected his unwanted presence into American politics. The Prince hails from Jordan---a country with a hideous record of human rights violations---and is part of the Wahhabi/Moslem Brotherhood ruling family there. He's warned Americans not to vote for The Donald this November.
As we pointed out in the link above, the Jordanian Royal Family are abject toadies of the Obama Administration and their Wahhabi bosses in Riyadh, both of whom prop up the Jordanian Regime. CENTCOM has been headquartered in Jordan since they were rather unceremoniously booted out of Iraq last year; and only a few months later an unknown quantity of US weapons went missing, only turn up in the hands of Jihadists later on.
The Prince prefaced his statement by stating that he is "not keen on interfering in any nation's political campaign." Except for supporting terrorists trying to overthrow the Syrian and Iraqi governments, and committing war crimes in Yemen and Bahrain to uphold Wahhabi puppets, or inciting Israeli-Palestinian tensions: otherwise Jordan doesn't interfere too much in other countries' politics. But overlooking his own country's complicity in inciting civil wars in five different countries, the Prince is concerned with what Trump may do if elected President:
"If Donald Trump is elected, on the basis of what he has said so far, unless this changes, I think that without any doubt he would be dangerous to the international community. He has called for bringing back interrogation techniques that legal experts say amount to torture."
Considering that Jordan participates in the Bush/Obama/Clinton Rendition Program, the Prince may be speaking with some expertise here. But the Prince doesn't seem overly concerned with the proven track record of Clinton and Obama, among whose international dangerousness has included the Arab Spring; the Maidan Uprising, restarting the Cold War, the rise of ISIS, the resurgence of the Taliban, flooding Europe with refugees, inflaming tensions on the Korean Peninsula, a failed coup attempt in Turkey, and nearly pushing China to WW3. Hilary Clinton has said she wants to continue all of these policies and, in fact, promote them more aggressively.
"Trump's attacks on vulnerable communities such as Moslems, immigrants, and minorities suggest that they may well be deprived of human rights." he sternly warned. It may be so; but where is UN's concern for Hilary Clinton's remarks about Trump supporters being a "basket of deplorables" or Sanders supporters being "a bunch of idiots living in their parents' basements?" The Prince issued no statement about human rights violations under the Obama Administration in which Clinton served: execution of American nationals abroad without trial; NSA and TSA privacy violations; repealing the Anti-Propaganda Act; collusion with Wall Street interests like George Soros to manipulate the media; Operation Fast-and-Furious which resulted in American deaths (as did the Benghazi Incident); and rigging the 2016 Democratic Primaries.
These are fair example of how seriously any statements coming out the current UNCHR should be taken. Luckily for the UN, with Russia's control of the Security Council, real leaders are beginning to take charge there and put a stop to such nonsense. Russian Foreign Minister Dmitry Lavrov issued a statement today essentially ordering His Royal Highness to butt out of the US elections and mind his own business.
"His position is not about ruling or passing judgments on sovereign states." Lavrov told CNN, "His position is to protect human rights and this doesn't not involve intervention in domestic affairs."
It has been noted both here and by many other bloggers and writers that the Manosphere Red Pill/Game Cult is actively fomenting racial hatred and gender divisions. It appears now that some of them seem to be intentionally inciting sectarian religious hatreds among Christians as well.
In Islamic theology, there is a term that often appears in Middle Eastern Media outlets: Takfiri. It's a shame that Christians don't have a corresponding term, because it well-describes the Red Pill Cultists. Takfiri was a term coined by Mohammed which conveys the idea of an apostate who embraces heretical versions of the faith and wages Jihad against the True Believers. The term is often employed in the Arab media referring to the Wahhabis and their ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and other associated militias.
The Game blogger Dalrock has been engaging in this sort of Jihad recently against several mainstream Protestant writers; among them Sam Powell, Joel and Kathy Davisson, and Mary Kassian---all of whom have ministries focusing on marriage-related issues. Dalrock has been accusing all of them---falsely---of perverting Scripture, embracing Radical Feminism, and disseminating false doctrines. This, from a writer who has stated that All Christians must learn Game, and praises the perverted Game philosophy of the racist, Nazi sympathizer blogger Chateau Heartiste as doctrinally compatible with Christianity.
In his latest article, his third attack on the Reverend Powell this month, he takes issue with what he calls Powell's abysmal theology. What Powell actually argues is that God despises maltreatment of a wife more than He despises divorce. Powell says this, which Dalrock considers to be a false and unbiblical teaching:
"But then you say, how will we keep our wives from leaving us? First, I have to say to you that if force and intimidation are the only tools in your arsenal to keep your marriage, then you need to reevaluate your existence as a human being."
This is the opposite, of course, of what Game Cultists and Dalrock teach. While it is clear that Powell is writing about an abused spouse, Dalrock argues that it is the duty of the wife to 'submit' even under abusive circumstances. The argument is Circular Logic, because Game teaches the use of force and intimidation by the husband and denies Love as a motivational factor in marriage. As Powell rightly says, such an idea "is by reducing marriage to simply a sexual relationship, or reducing his covenant with God to a matter of tradition or convenience. Either way, the man is guilty of {the sin of} treachery."
Treachery towards one's wife is exactly what the Game Cult endorses; and treachery to those who teach Christian doctrines as well. If anyone doubts that the Gamers are attempting deliberately to sow religious hatred, let them observe a sample of the comments that followed Dalrock's article---not one of which were challenged by Dalrock:
Smithborough: "The myth of the holy divorce needs to be sent back to the pit of Hell where it was spawned."
Feeriker: "What we're seeing here is the chaff that will be separated from the wheat once the persecution and suffering starts...Samantha Powell and her princess enablers are chaff, the worthless pollutant that will fall away and will apostatize fully---in fact they will join the heathen in the persecution of the true church...the sooner we recognize these false believers for who and what they are, and treat them accordingly, the better."
God Is Laughing: "Am I supposed to mind when Mohammed/Abdul/Ahmed removes his rotten head with a dull hunting knife?"
Constrainedlocus: "Men looking for even the smallest semblance of pastoral encouragement, congregational acceptance, spiritual guidance, healing and fortitude would do well to leave churches alone. Men are quite obviously the enemy there."
Rollo Tomassi: "So now, not only has the Feminine Imperative replaced the Holy Spirit interpretively, through its pastoral agents, the words of their 'Lord and Savior' are subject to cancellation and disqualification by what best benefits women and their imperatives. Tell me again why any unchurched man would find value in today's church or converting to a faith and doctrine that is not only actively hostile towards men but openly and fluidly redesigns that faith to act against him?"
DrTorch: "I've written before that Powell is an entryist, a corrupter who wrote the right things early on so that he could gain a position of influence and then do as he pleased. His church leadership should act swiftly and sternly. Has anyone contacted them regarding his false teachings?"
TheDeti: "Most church 'men's ministries' are a joke, really. Most men's ministries are 'worship your wives' and 'don't look at porn.'"
We can see clearly what is afoot here. This is not a disagreement over interpreting a passage from the Bible or a doctrinal point over divorce. This is part of a concerted effort to incite division within Christianity itself. They are the Christian version of the Takfiri.
These heretics teach that sin is caused by women, that Game is a scriptural philosophy, that domestic violence and psychological manipulation are Christian virtues, and that men should stay away from Church and listen only to the Red Pill leaders. And worse still, they teach their disciples to regard other churches as enemies of mankind; sneeringly referring to them as Social Justice Warriors, as though fighting for social justice is a bad thing.
Pastors and priests need to be made more aware of the activities of this evil group and what their stated goals and apparent intentions really are. Game is nothing but the Cult of the Superman disguised as the religion of the Prince of Peace.
While the US Corporate Media is busily fanning outrage over Donald Trump's lewd remarks about women---while simultaneously slobbering over Blac Chyna's nude photos on the cover of some tabloid---some troubling news emerged from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. The IHME, which conducts global studies on world health for the United Nations, found that Maternal Mortality Rates (the number of women per 100,000 who die in childbirth) had declined worldwide. That is, with the exception of the United States.
Rates of MMR in fact have doubled in the US since 1990 to 26.4%---higher by far than most industrialized countries. Some individual US states have MMRs comparable to Latin American countries. To put this number in perspective, consider the average for Western Europe is 2.1%. All of Western Europe combined in 2015 registered 315 mothers dying in childbirth, with 340 in Russia, compared to 1,063 in the United States. In fact, while US MMRs have increased 100% since 1990, Russia's has decreased 75% during the same period.
And not only compared to Europe: note that the MMR is 17.7% in China, 20.8% in Iran, 16.2% in the Palestinian Authority, 20% in Thailand, and 15.6% in Vietnam. The US is actually between those of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It would seem that the US' vaunted greatest healthcare system in the world, isn't so great after all.
The study commended China and Turkey for "receiving very little international funding," yet meeting the goals reducing MMRs set by the UN. The authors stated that "these gains are likely due to national policy changes and strengthening the healthcare system." In other words, the Chinese and Turkish governments saw a problem and did something about it. US politicians not only have no policy in place, they don't even acknowledge that the problem exists. Instead, they funnel more money and power to the Abortion Racketeers and promote homosexual 'marriage' and adoption.
Lack of political will isn't the only reason behind our high MMRs. The high rates of narcotic consumption; high rates of obesity and malnutrition; and Feminist social pressure to delay childbirth as long as possible are doubtless contributing factors as well.
But for all the Feminist talk of a War on Women, and all the Manosphere talk of a Female Imperative, there seems to be very little concern about actually doing anything to bring maternal survival levels down to what they were in the 1980s. It really ought to be a source of shame and mortification to Americans to realize that a woman has a lesser chance of dying in childbirth in China; while there's more aggressive maternal care programs enacted in Turkey. While we applaud the progress both those countries are making; it's a deplorable fact that the US---the world leader in reproductive health technologies throughout most of the 20th Century---is seeing an increase in MMR.
It's unlikely that the problem will be addressed by US politicians any time soon. After all, the dead don't vote; and they don't have lobbies and PACs either.
The new, LGBTQ-friendly Pentagon shamefacedly had to confess to another major weapons loss last week after Montgomery County, Tennessee Sheriffs arrested six of our brave men and women in uniform and two civilians. The soldiers---members of the elite 101st Airborne Division---stole over $1 million in battle gear from Fort Campbell and their accomplices sold it on Ebay. This is the same Special Forces unit whose poltroonery in front of the Turkish Army in Al-Rab, Syria led to Turkey suspending joint operations with the US in Syria.
According to US Federal Prosecutor David Rivera, among the items taken by the theft ring were night vision scopes, rifle and machine-gun parts, grenade launchers, and flight helmets. The items were sold on Ebay to anonymous buyers, including many in foreign nations. That certainly makes international espionage much easier; cut out the middle-man and buy direct from Ebay.
Among the foreign destinations found so far in the scandal are Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Lithuania, Moldova, Malaysia, Romania, and Mexico. There were several unknown US buyers as well.
To make matters even more embarrassing, one of the indicted soldiers was found to be AWOL at the warrants were served. As it turned out, the missing soldier was already in jail in Oregon; awaiting extradition to Tennessee after having skipped bail there. The soldier, one Kyle Heade, was arrested in January and charged with attempted murder after shooting someone five times outside a local chicken restaurant.
Unfortunately, incidents like these are becoming more common in the military both at home and abroad. Our dumbed-down schools, lowered recruitment and training standards, and culture of narcissism and entitlement are taking a severe toll on the military. Within the last month, another soldier was arrested in California for involvement in a triple murder that occurred during a perverted orgy where actors (including some minors) dressed as animals and re-enacted bestiality scenes. A sailor was sentenced for manslaughter in Virginia after shooting and killing another sailor during a video game.
Also in Virginia, a Langley Air Force base airman was arrested September 23rd for cultivating marijuana and selling meth. A member of the Illinois National Guard was sentenced the same day to 30 years for colluding with ISIS. On the 20th of September an Army Specialist was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering a woman who threatened to expose his relationship with her 14 year-old daughter. In that case, the cowardly soldier tried to blame the girl for the murder. On the 16th of September, a Fort Bliss soldier was arrested for the murder of a transgender woman in Texas.
The day before that, a pregnant female soldier was found guilty of gunning down her husband in Virginia. On the 13th, the Commander of a helicopter strike unit was arrested in San Diego on charges of assault and attempted rape. The week prior to that, a USMC Staff Sergeant in North Carolina invaded the home of his ex-wife, shot her new husband, tied her to a chair and set the house on fire with gasoline. The woman managed to escape and killed the Marine in self-defense, but the house was destroyed and both men died at the scene.
This is one month's activity in our Postmodern Military.
Consider that if a city's police department was experiencing the same level of crime in its own ranks as we're experiencing in the Military---wouldn't there be some public outcry? Why the media silence about crime in the Military? Maybe it's because the Corporate Media is strongly tied to interests with defense contracts. Also, reporting on these issues might compromise the army of lobbyists the Corporate Media employs. One doesn't want to rock the boat when currying favor. And then there's the so-called 'Conservative Media' whose audiences tolerate no criticism of the Military---no matter how justified.
It ought to be obvious that our military personnel and leadership are in no condition to fight a major war, or even properly defend the country. For too long, the elites have seen the Military both as a cash-cow for vested financial interests and as a field for social engineering schemes. We need soldiers and leaders again; not criminals and perverts.
The Second Presidential Debate was held last night in St. Louis at Washington University, not far from the scene of last year's Ferguson Riots. The debate was formatted in a so-called 'Town Hall' fashion: a theatrical gimmick wherein some carefully vetted questions allegedly from the general public are allowed.
There were two moderators from the Corporate Media managing the whole affair. One was Martha Raddatz, who makes $2.5 million annually from ABC. She was formerly married to Julius Genachowski, who was the subject of a recent DNC leak. Anderson Cooper, a homosexual and multimillionaire heir to the Vanderbilt fortune, was the other moderator. He makes $11 million from CNN despite never having gone to Journalism school. CNN is owned by Time-Warner which has donated $812,000 to Hilary Clinton's political campaigns during the course of her career. Time-Warner has one of the largest lobbying PACs in the Beltway: expending $9.2 million in lobbying during the last two years alone; and $570,000 on 2016 political campaigns. According to OpenSecrets, eight Congressmen and Senators own Time-Warner stock.
ABC is a subsidiary of Walt Disney Co., which also has a sizeable Beltway PAC. Disney has shelled out a whopping $3.2 million to political candidates this year; including $177,000 to Hilary Clinton's presidential campaign. Disney has spent $5.7 million in lobbying during the last two years, and 35 Congressmen and Senators own Disney stock.
Does anyone wonder why we don't take these debates seriously?
As for the debate itself, it was mostly a series of personal attacks, although---to his credit--- Trump did renounce Mike Pence's recent hawkish stand on Russia. Trump seemed to indicate, without elaboration, that he intended to rebuild US hegemony in the Middle East and made some dubious comments about Iran's position in the Anti-Jihad Alliance. Clinton mostly repeated her talking points from the first debate, and overall, really nothing of any substance came out of this round.
Trump came across as the 'winner' at least on technical grounds. The losers, though, are going to be the Corporate Media who hyped an 11 year-old interview with Trump as some explosive scandal the night before the debate; and their attempts to smear Trump with it completely flopped. Though Anderson Cooper tried to push the issue and Hilary Clinton led off with it; Trump neatly deflected it saying, "They're trying to distract from the issues and make it all just about sex." Which was a soundbite Clinton apologists used in the late 1990s when defending Bill Clinton.
The other big losers are going to Republican politicians who rushed to throw Trump under the bus over these same tapes.
Mercifully, this election will be over in another month although the debates are giving us an ominous foretaste of the next four years.
