DIANA WEST: WARNING! YOU ARE ABOUT TO READ A FORBIDDEN COLUMN

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2461/Warning-You-Are-About-to-Read-a-Forbidden-Column.aspx=

Get ready for the last straw.

First, though, I’d like to suggest that anyone reading this column in a local newspaper or news site pat the editor on the back for publishing what in our neo-medieval world of fear amounts to a “forbidden” column.

Yup, I am about to say something about the Great Barack Obama Identity/Eligibility Scandal again. I know that this is one rich and urgent topic that doesn’t see the light of day in certain so-called news outlets – and I say that from the experience of watching my own syndicated columns fail to appear when covering news of the White House press conference where the president’s long-form birth certificate was unveiled, news of courtroom proceedings in various states on Obama’s ballot eligibility and news of Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s investigators presenting evidence that the online Obama birth certificate is a forgery (and much more).

So be it. This was, as noted, the last straw.

I refer to something radio host Sean Hannity said on his show this week. He was speaking in rebuttal to a Democrat arguing that racism was a problem among conservatives. As evidence, the Democrat brought up the “birther issue” – the label used to encapsulate any topic related to Obama’s identity documents and constitutional eligibility. Erroneously, it is a label that narrowly connotes, and derisively so, only the belief that President Obama wasn’t born in the United States.

In fact, the whereabouts of Obama’s nativity is in no way the main bone of “birther” contention, despite the blinkered focus on it by the enforcers of silence. Of far greater concern to me, for starters, is the purportedly original documentation President Obama belatedly provided the American people to attest to his identity.

I refer to the electronic image of a long-form 1961 Hawaiian birth certificate posted at the White House website. After studying various evidence and demonstrations (which I’ve written about in previous “forbidden” columns), I’ve concluded that this online image is in all probability a forgery.

So has Sheriff Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse out in Maricopa County, Ariz. So, too, has the Israel Science and Technology website, a national database and directory of science- and technology-related sites in Israel established by Benjamin Netanyahu’s former science adviser, molecular biologist Israel Hanukoglu, Ph.D.

If these investigations are correct, we are looking at the greatest fraud in modern history as put over by the flimflam administration and enabled by armies of accessories practically everywhere else.

There is a second issue to consider that also has nothing to do with what is commonly meant by the “birther” issue. Having weighed the arguments, it seems to me that by virtue of having a British subject for a father, Barack Obama Jr. is constitutionally ineligible to be president of the United States, no matter where he was born.

SARAH HONIG: BARACK AND BERNARD-HENRI

Another Tack: Barack and Bernard-Henri One day before US President Barack Obama touched down here and began to beguile us, flamboyant French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy was reportedly barred from Libya’s Tripoli because of his Jewishness. On the face of it, these two episodes are wholly unconnected. But, on closer inspection, they’re not. Lévy had been an […]

Instead, they are now enduring ominous Islamic Sharia […]

UNCLE SAM AND THE SAUDI CRESCENT: DIANA WEST

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2459/Uncle-Sam-and-the-Saudi-Crescent.aspx “World Must Unite Against US-Saudi-Israeli Proxy War in Syria” is the headline over a piece at Infowars by Tony Cartalucci, a reporter whose work on Uncle Sam’s entanglement in jihad I’ve read with interest before. The piece makes a moral argument against the war on Assad that I find rather less transfixing than the […]

DID THE COLD WAR EVER END? ON THE GLAZOV GANG

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/frontpagemag-com/putin-and-the-shadow-of-the-kgb-on-the-glazov-gang/

This week’s Glazov Gang had the honor of being joined by Borek Volarik, a Czech Defector, Kevin Gonzales, the producer of the upcoming documentary: “Martyred in the USSR,” and Leon Weinstein, a Soviet emigré and author of “Capitalism 101.”

The Gang members gathered to discuss: Did the Cold War Ever End? The dialogue occurred in Part II and dealt with why exactly there were never any Nuremberg-style trials for communist mass murderers. The segment also focused on why the KGB still retains power in Russia, the impotence of the West in confronting Putin, and why people should read “Mein Kampf” to gain insight not only into Putin’s propaganda, but also Obama’s.

Part I featured Kevin Gonzales’ upcoming documentary: “Martyred in the USSR,” which focuses on the persecution of Christians, as well as of all religions, under the former Soviet regime. The segment also shed light on why and how the Left has forced this socialist mass crime into historical invisibility.

To watch both parts of the two-part series, see below:

TIN DRUM PROGRESSIVES: BRUCE BAWER…SEE NOTE PLEASE

http://frontpagemag.com/2013/bruce-thornton/the-tin-drum-progressive-boomers/print/

JUST A MINOR CAVIL….GUNTER GRASS TURNED OUT TO BE A TIN DRUM NAZI SYMPATHIZER…. AND HE ALSO WON A NOBEL PRIZE…..RSK

Like the hero of Gunter Grass’ novel The Tin Drum, America’s progressive Baby Boomers chose not to grow up. Why should they? They decided that their development was complete when they graduated from college. All they needed to do was affirm their magnificent, world-historical identity. No surprise, then, that we are currently afflicted by the juvenile politics of the Democratic Party, the policies of which embody the Boomer creed: we all have a right to eat our entitlement and hedonism cake and have it too––as long as it’s subsidized by the evil rich.

Boomers, of course, had a lot of help in postponing adulthood. The ever-extending length of adolescence partly accounts for this. Post-war affluence made it affordable to prolong further this historically unprecedented time of life between childhood and adulthood. Consumerism took advantage of this new market, one prone to impulse buying and enjoying access to lots of surplus wealth. So they elevated in social importance the transient whims, banal ideas, and foolish desires of a group flush with disposable income. The result was the most pampered, obsessed over, and indulged generation in American history.

As a consequence, the Boomers developed the unearned sense of entitlement and unrealistic expectations more typical of spoiled children. And the culture went right along with them and pandered to their juvenile taste, mainly because there was money to be made. The traditional moral limits on materialism and freely indulging one’s appetites had always gotten in the way of profit. Starting in the 50’s, the old taboos about sex, public vulgarity, and drugs all began to be swept away. “If it feels good, do it” became a new human right as well as a potent source of profit.

Hence the “eerie vulgarity,” to use Nabokov’s phrase, of our popular culture, which has managed to trivialize the “edgy” and “transgressive” into the dullest of clichés, and reduced what was once the sordid practices of rakes and roués into the mass-marketed fashion accessories of pre-teens, and the subject of smutty jokes on prime-time sit-coms. And anyone who tries to stand athwart this locomotive of degradation is dismissed as a fascist square or a religious fanatic who wants to “turn back the clock” to the dark days of sexual oppression and repression.

ROBERT REYTO: THE OBSTACLE TO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST ****

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-obstacle-to-peace-in-the-middle-east?f=puball

In view of the problems in Egypt, the financial problems in Cyprus, the problems in Syria, North Korea, as well as the recent presidential visit to Israel, I am compelled to expand and update the fine article by Khaled Abu Toameh: Are Settlements Really the Major Obstacle to Peace?

President Obama claimed in Cairo in 2008 and reiterated it in Israel in March 2013, that the obstacle to world peace are the ‘settlements’ in that tiny country of Israel!

There were no ‘settlements’ when Israel was born, but five separate attacks by Arab countries shattered the “peace.” Israel defeated them and the only thing they asked in return was public acceptance of Israel’s right to exist and peace. Both were refused. Israel gave away half the country and released thousands of terrorist prisoners over the years in return for a few, not all living Israeli soldiers. Arab or Muslim countries have continuously refused all subsequent efforts despite several well-publicized and important international agreements facilitated by several US Presidents.

In March 2010 the Obama administration publicly attacked Israel to stop “settlement building” in Jerusalem, even though many of the Jewish residents who live there were originally expelled from Muslim countries. Hamas, Hezbollah and radical Islam have refused to sit down to negotiate future peace, attacked Israel violently numerous times, and still train and brainwash adults and children with so much hate that they take pleasure in detonating themselves to kill others.

Is this the reason why the UN and most nations think that stopping to build settlements will actually prevent all wars and bring peace throughout the world?

None of the terrorist activities of the past ten-fifteen years were mentioned by President Obama in Cairo as he promised financial and ‘cultural aid’ to Gaza and all Muslim nations. None of the twenty Arab countries surrounding Israel have the same democracy, women’s rights, religious freedom or the general freedom which we, in the West have and enjoy. Islam broadcasts openly that they want to dominate the world and want to eliminate western civilization. In the US, they aggressively fight in courts to replace or equate our Constitution and our laws with their Shariah. Islam in America is allowed to use our own democratic laws and institutions to achieve their goals, while our heritage, our constitution and our laws have been side stepped or forgotten during the past ten tears. Unfortunately, very few people and very few “constitutional lawyers” have been objecting.

Isn’t it crystal clear now why the real, only obstacle to ‘world peace’ are a few settlements in that tiny country, Israel?

President Obama and the UN have been putting pressure only on Israel.During his March 2013 visit, he said again.

… Israelis must recognize that continued settlement activity is counterproductive to the cause of peace …

but he did not mention the continuing rocket attacks and the UN’s efforts to demonize Israel. Then he said:

Palestinian children cannot grow up in a state of their own living their entire lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements, not just of those young people but their parents, their grandparents, every single day….

and

Just as Israelis built a state in their homeland, Palestinians have a right to be a free people in their own land.

Yes, but President Obama completely forgot to mention that every time there was an agreement in sight, it was rejected by those same Palestinians. So, why are only settlements in Israel considered the major obstacle to world peace?
