Just Call Me "Perplexed"

This is one of the strangest foreign policy “smoking guns” ever.  It seems that newly released documents from the CIA reveal that we want the Assad government in Syria toppled just like John Mc Cain wants, but the rest of us now regard as a really bad idea in light of our Libyan experience.  But now we want a “Salifist government” to control Anwar and Mozul provinces and we want area around the Turkish border.  Seemingly our government is working with Turkey to bring about this result.  So if our troops wonder “What the hell are we fighting for” I’m sure I don’t know any more because it would seem that we want to strengthen ISIS in this area and not weaken it.  I would say- “might this be best obtained “by accident” so to speak as a result of our leaving, and no something we are actively but secretly pursuing, while we are telling the media quite another story.  Shawn Hannity believes quite another story here.   The “story” seems to be that both Saudi Arabia and ISIS are “Solifist” governments.  The “story” is that the Saudis and Israelis are standing “shoulder to shoulder” against- - somebody, perhaps Iran.  I haven’t heard any explicit criticism of ISIS by Netenyahoo.  Is this merely an oversight?  Why DID Obama wait so long before turning hostile to ISIS?  Was indeed our government secretly giving them a head start, a leg up, on the competition?  Is President Obama even human as you and I are, or is he what is referred to by Ruth Montgomery as a “Walk In” or some sort of Manchurian Candidate.   We hear about his community service when he was younger and passion to serve the poor, when he could have gotten more lucrative employment with his education.  But now what is all of his “dedicated service to Wall Street” going to buy him in terms of employment after he leaves High Office.  What will his recent activities do in terms of his very Soul???

They say that Salifism as a sect of Islam has ninety percent of the wealth and financing of the Faith and that the more moderate branches of Islam are languishing because of that.  So people like Shawn may well be right in saying that Islam has become radicalized as a faith, and Jihad killings have become the norm rather than the fringe exception.   We hear all the time from the left in this country that the Republican fringe is shrinking and dying off demographically.  But they still control about all the reins of government in the “Several States” except for a few areas such as California.  Republican candidates like Jeb Bush or Scott Walker who “sounded a little moderate on some issues” have now fully retreated from these, as all of the ten or twelve candidates in the clown car are speaking more and more with one far right Voice.  The Republicans in the clown car all have their favorite hawkish ways of dealing with ISIS, but the dirty little secret now is that the US just doesn’t care and wants ISIS to succeed.   The cover of “The Week” magazine features “Saddam’s Revenge” because a lot of the people that make up ISIS are ex Iraqi generals.     Elvis sings a hymn on those Sun session recordings where the words go “And they ain’t gona study war no more”.   This is taken directly from scripture.  What do the Israelis believe?   They obviously don’t believe in such sentaments for peace or “turning their swords into plough shears”.   They don’t believe the Torah teachings literally or they’d still have a priesthood.  Historically the Jews believed in the coming Messiah, but it seems more and more the Jews have come to believe they are the instruments of their Own Deliverance.  No more are they are looking for “A Redeemer” or someone who will bring peace and healing to the land.   They seem to have no regard for the person of Jesus, as either a man or a God.  The idea behind Christianity is to cite a tangible “source of their faith”, a real, tangible human entity who can be an “example” and the focal point of their faith.  They speak of “Jewish culture” but there is some curiously “unbiblical” about most of this “culture”.  They are defined not by the social services of their government or their rich culture- - but by whom they spend their time killing.  I have come to believe if our government wanted ISIS “Gone!” then they’d be gone.  Because ISIS didn’t even exist three years ago in 2012.  War is a racket for defence and aerospace companies in this country to all get rich off it.

The nation of Ireland has voted decisively to allow gay marriage in their constitution, even though it wasn’t till the nineties when it was still criminal to engage in any homosexual act in that country.   They’ve descended so far so quickly.  Rush Limbaugh made a very good point yesterday afternoon.  He chides the left for "Not wanting to offend any adherents of the Prophet Mohamed" and yet the left also embraces homosexuality and abortion and all of this assisted suicide stuff.  This stuff is adhorant to God, no matter what you call Him.  And yet the Left thinks nothing of this glairing inconsistency.

In terms of yesterday’s posted “Memorial Day message” I really wasn’t expecting there’d be much new news to comment about in the bloggisphere in the next few days, and that headline would be a little barbed message of mine- - that I think we have become altogether too obsessed with wars, plural, and things military.   It was the second of the last three postings where I was NOT the principle writer of my own blog.  I think it’s fitting and proper to put flowers on ancestors graves on Memorial Day, particularly is they fought in the Civil War.  But this is the first of what has become four big military holidays of the year.  The other three are the 4^th of July, the 9 – 11 anniversary, and of course Veterans Day.  Do we really need four of them?   I think any war loses both its relevance and its virtue if it becomes never ending.  I mean after all we are fighting for things like liberty, that might be in the process of vanishing, anyhow.

Amnesty reported that, contrary to US gov and media propaganda, the Saudi regime got worse under the last dictator (who recently died), and is getting even worse now under new US-backed dictator Abdulaziz, with Saudi Arabia committing dozens and dozens of beheading/crucifixions, taking the lead in confirmed state executions worldwide.  2009 US documents leaked by Wikileaks revealed Hillary Clinton stating that Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest source of funding for Sunni terrorist groups.  Abdulaziz himself, the top of the Saudi dictatorship, is said by al Qaeda to be one of their sources of funding and support.  Unlike Iran, which has parliamentary representatives and voting, Saudi Arabia is a straight despotism which maintains itself through terror, such as by lashing innocent civilians in public.  Unlike Iran, Saudi Arabia not only does not renounce nuclear weapons (US intelligence does not even say Iran is pursuing them; in fact far from it), but Saudi officials promise never to renounce nuclear weapons, or even negotiate about nuclear weapons, which Iran has agreed to do numerous times, with the US always cancelling the negotiations, as Obama has done before, and did again this week: “US Kills Nuclear Free Mid-East Conference“.  Indeed, Saudi Arabia just announced its intentions to go nuclear, a prospect that has long been known to all.  None of this prevents the US from making its biggest ever lethal arms sale to the dictatorship, or selling them almost a billion dollars worth of banned cluster bombs in 2013, which HRW reports are now being used in the US-coordinated/assisted Saudi aggressive war against Yemen, from which the US refuses to rescue its own civilian nationals, unlike eight other countries including Russia, China, and India, which have performed rescue missions.
