RUTHFULLY YOURS

On Tuesday, April 10, President Obama spoke in Boca Raton at Florida Atlantic University. He promptly showed that he needs a remedial course in basic economics.

The speech covered all the same ground as the rest of his speeches lately: he’s declaring class warfare on the rich. In this speech, though, he went into particular depth on his vision of economics. Or rather, his blindness with regard to economics.

Obama casts his re-election campaign as a debate between becoming a nation “where a shrinking number of people are doing really, really well, but a growing number are struggling to get by,” and a nation where “everybody gets a fair shot … does a fair share … plays by the same set of rules.”

There’s only one problem with this – Obama isn’t on the side he thinks he’s on. According to Robert Reich, Obama’s interim economic advisor, Obama’s supposed economic recovery has gone almost entirely to the top 1%. So his economy is the economy creating unfairness – greater government interventionism does not translate into greater prosperity for those who are not top earners.

Now that Mitt Romney will be Obama’s opponent in November, the Democrats are rolling out the false narrative they will use to demonize Romney and obscure four years of failed economic policies that have created the worst recovery from a recession since the Great Depression. In two recent speeches, Obama has begun heating up his class warfare rhetoric in an attempt to paint Republicans as the heartless minions of greedy capitalists who increase their wealth at the expense of everybody else.

On April 3, Obama went after Representative Paul Ryan and his budget, which Obama linked explicitly to Romney. Ryan’s budget actually addresses the key problems of out of control government spending and rapidly metastasizing entitlement costs, the looming fiscal train-wreck that Obama and the Democrats have avoided dealing with for over 3 years. Masking this dereliction of duty, Obama in his speech instead piled up lie after lie about Ryan’s budget, spicing the whole with question-begging rhetoric. Financial aid cut for 10 million college students, 1,600 fewer grants for Alzheimer’s and AIDS research, clean energy technology cut by a fifth, 200,000 pre-schoolers banished from Head Start, 2 million mothers and children denied healthy food, cuts to the Department of Justice and the FBI, national parks closed, air, food, and water safety compromised, less accurate weather forecasts, more flight cancellations at airports––this whole catalogue of apocalyptic disasters is a patent lie, one worsened by the charge that Ryan’s budget is “thinly veiled social Darwinism” designed to further enrich the already bloated 1% by ruthlessly cutting government programs. In fact, the Ryan budget increases spending from $3.6 trillion this year to almost $4.9 trillion in 2022.

Things are not going well for voter ID opponents. (And don’t miss Scott Ott’s recent PJTV video: You’ll Never Guess Which Liberal Groups Are Demanding ID.)

Things are not going well for voter ID opponents. The latest James O’Keefe video is the most recent problem for the left. The bigger problem is that the voter ID debate has broken leftist containment, and the left has made an enormous strategic miscalculation by elevating the voter ID fight.

“The fashionable, respectable anti-Semitism of European intellectual salons in the early 20th century made the Nazi persecutions of Jews palatable. The fashionable, respectable anti-Israelism of European intellectual salons in the early 21st century makes Ahmedinejad’s calls for our extinction palatable.”

This week in 1903 Shalom Aleichem, the giant of Yiddish literature, wrote a letter to Leo Tolstoy, the giant of Russian literature. It was shortly after the gruesome Kishinev pogrom. Shalom Aleichem planned to publish a modest compilation about the atrocity, to which he asked Tolstoy to contribute a short message to “Russia’s millions of distraught and disoriented Jews, who more than anything need a word of comfort.” Tolstoy never so much as bothered to reply.

The famed novelist, feted as the conscience of Russia, received dozens such letters urging him to speak out against the slaughters – then a seminal trauma in Jewish annals. The Holocaust was decades away. Nobody 109 years ago could imagine anything more bloodcurdling than the horrors of Kishinev.

But not everyone was moved – not even a renowned humanitarian like Tolstoy.
Not only did he not speak out, but he resented the entreaties.

‘This country saved my life,’ says 91-year-old microbiologist Nathan Citri. In return, he is saving others with Israeli medical ingenuity.At 91, Prof. Nathan Citri offers no advice on how to achieve longevity. That he’s made it this far — with a mind so sharp he is still inventing innovative medical diagnostic kits — may be thanks to long walks or good genes.

He cannot know for sure, since the Nazis cut short the lives of his parents and his only sister.

“This country saved my life,” says Citri. In return, he continues to give Israel the best of his extraordinary knowledge in microbiology.

Born Natan Cytrynowski in Lodz, Poland, the future Hebrew University researcher was raised in a Hebrew-speaking home by Zionist educators.

“How many people spoke Hebrew at home in those days? Nobody else I know of,” he tells ISRAEL21c with a laugh. He vividly recalls visitors marveling that the Cytrynowski kids not only conversed in Hebrew but even cried out in Hebrew when they were upset. “I always say that my mother tongue is Hebrew even though my mother never made it to Israel.”

The Power of Lexicon

The trust of the innocent is the liar’s most useful tool ~Stephen King

This is what the Government of Israel counted on when it signed the Oslo Accords; or when it forced its will on the people and evicted 10,000 good and productive citizen from their homes in the Gush Katif communities and made them homeless and jobless overnight.

Controlling the masses, in tyranny or democrazy [sic], is the only way for people, at the top, to remain in power for their own narcissistic and need for power reasons. Since the ruling elite have access to all the tools to control the masses – army, police and courts – they force their will on the people, by fear and intimidation, and other bestial means.

One other tool is using lexicon that serves their cause and goal.

Hundreds of young female immigrants are hiding from their families in Germany after fleeing oppression, physical violence and even death threats. Charities and social workers help the women get new identities and build independent lives for themselves, but the risk of revenge from honor-obsessed relatives remains.

Bahar ran away early on a winter morning, one-and-a-half years after her mother was murdered. She helped her younger siblings get ready for school, and then she gave them a goodbye kiss on the forehead. Her uncle and her brothers were still sleeping. Bahar tiptoed out of the apartment in her socks, walked down the stairs and out the door. And then she ran for her life.

Today Bahar is 26 and likes to wear high-heeled shoes. She has chosen a popular café in a small city as a meeting point. She is wearing a modest amount of makeup, and her black hair is pulled back into a bun. She smiles tentatively and introduces herself, using the name in her new passport, which, for her protection, cannot be used in this article.

Roosters of the Apocalypse: How the junk science of global warming nearly bankrupted the Western world

A VERSION OF THIS REVIEW APPEARED IN THE WASHINGTON TIMES OF APRIL 11, 2012
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/apr/10/global-warming-the-fad-of-fads/

The fad of fads by Sol W Sanders

Mass hysteria, alas! is all too common a phenomenon of our life and times, in a post-digital revolution society where disinformation is as rapidly passed as information and where cheap and available transportation aggravates rapid mob collection and intensity. [Its ubiquity is so pronounced that it is even parodied by young pranksters with so-called flash mobbing.]

But what is more inexplicable is when an allied phenomenon spreads through supposedly intellectual circles to dominate the public forum. Perhaps the most extreme – and certainly one of the most socially and financially costly — examples currently is the one that Rael Jean Isaac lays out in economical but exceedingly comprehensively documented detail in this little book.

Isaac shreds the arguments for “global warming” from start to finish. But in so doing, she more than once demonstrates the pure irrationality of its spokesmen – “the roosters”. For example, she shows how when driven to the wall to prove that changes in climate which may be taking place as they have through the millennia cannot be attributed with evidence to the effects of human activity, the proponents of global warming simply switch the argument without acknowledging this important “quibble”.

With more than adequate evidence and citations for her fundamental hypothesis, i.e., that consumption of fossil fuels is not the proved origin or principle cause of a presumed climate change, she goes on to show the perfidy of many of its spokesmen. But more than in the arguments of most her fellow opponents of the fashionable argument, she lays out the profitable stake many of its promoters have in this complicated world of government intervention, subsidies and their lobbies – and pure blackmail.

Jewish Ledger | Clare Boothe Luce and the Holocaust: A CT Congresswoman’s Fight for Justice

“Jewish blood stains the blue Mediterranean red.”
That powerful denunciation of England’s policy of blocking, and sometimes sinking, ships carrying Jewish refugees to Palestine, was delivered in 1944 by a maverick Republican congresswoman from Connecticut. Her little-known fight for the Jewish people is finally coming to light.
“THAT LOOSE WOMAN”
Talented and ambitious, Clare Boothe was a child actress, then a suffragist, before shifting to journalism in the early 1930s. She went from editorial assistant at Vogue to managing editor of Vanity Fair in just three years, then left the magazine and carved out a successful career as a playwright, a profession relatively few women had penetrated. In 1935, she married the immensely wealthy and influential publisher of Time, Life, and Fortune, Harry Luce. They made their home in Ridgefield.
