But lately Mr. Obama seems to be airbrushing himself out of his own biography. The man who has held the nation’s highest elective office for four years is now […]

Besides physics, we prominently discussed one other issue, the propensity for violence in Muslim communities and their relative backwardness. In my […]

HE DID NOT BOW TO THE KING BUT OBAMA’S PREDECESSOR PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH WAS EQUALLY OBSEQUIOUS TO THE SAUDIS….HE ALLOWED DOZENS TO LEAVE IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF 9/11 AND WITHIN MONTHS OF 9/11 INVITED THE KING TO HIS RANCH IN TEXAS AND HELPED PROMOTE (THIS IS BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS),,,THE SAUDI PEACE PLAN FOR THE ISRAEL/ARAB CONFLICT….RSK
Shortly after the Center for Immigration Studies put out a report warning that the Student and Exchange Visitor Program was widely unregulated and abused, the Obama Administration has decided to dispose of the last restrictions instituted after 9/11 to prevent a repeat of the revolving door Saudi visa system.
The United States, a decade after Al Qaida strikes in New York and Washington, has opened its doors to Saudi nationals.
Diplomats said the administration of President Barack Obama has removed most restrictions on the entry of Saudis to the United States. They said the percentage of visa approvals for Saudis has reached unprecedented levels.
“The United States aims to raise the number of visas that it issues annually, particularly to Saudi nationals, who represent an important group,” Joseph Hood, U.S. consul-general in the Saudi city of Dhahran, said.
He said Saudi businessmen and students have been allowed to enter the United States in record numbers, with a 60 percent increase since 2010.
Hood said. “In addition, Saudi Arabia also sends a large number of students to the United States, and the number of Saudi students in the United States rivals those from India.”
The CIS report meanwhile notes that of the “Top Five M-1 Approved Schools” , three are flight schools.
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/337212/saudis-pr-roads-show-nina-shea Even before the “Arab spring” revolts — indeed, ever since the 9/11 attacks on American soil by mostly Saudi terrorists — the Saudi royal family has assiduously waged a public-relations campaign to improve its image by sponsoring major cultural initiatives in the West. In 2012 alone, these included the opening of the King Abdullah […]
http://pjmedia.com/claudiarosett/google-bamboozled-by-north-korea/
As if there isn’t enough trouble in the world, the executive chairman of Google Inc., Eric Schmidt, has taken it into his head to visit North Korea. Schmidt is touring the world’s leading totalitarian state as a member of a private group led by a former U.S. congressman, cabinet secretary, United Nations ambassador and New Mexico governor rolled into one, Bill Richardson — whose previous trips to North Korea have served mainly to dignify the Pyongyang regime.
Richardson’s current roadshow, with Google’s Schmidt in tow, seems to have generated some excitement at North Korea’s state propaganda organ, the Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA. KCNA has revamped its web site, including a new gmail contact address (though the address apparently doesn’t work) and more colorful variations on the same old propaganda, including a special section on North Korea’s recent ballistic missile test “Successful Satellite Launch.” The site also features such classics as an account of the launch in Ecuador of the works of third-generation dictator Kim Jong Un, glorifying the revolutionary accomplishments of his late father, tyrant Kim Jong Il, and his grandfather, the Stalin-installed founder of the North Korean state, Kim Il Sung. On this same retooled KCNA web site, the private visit led by Richardson is heralded as “Delegation of Google Corp. of U.S. Arrives.”
