A hidden world, growing beyond control | washingtonpost.com

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

Obama Executive Order Will Nationalize the Demonization of US Veterans as Mentally Ill

 In this EO, Obama takes control over the evaluation of the mental health of our returning service men and women by providing US government controlled “effective mental health services for veterans, service members, and their families.” Obama is authorizing the coordination of the Departments of Veterans and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as the Departments of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Defense to “transition” veterans back into “civilian life”.

THE NEW ARABIC ARMY

 (Something for further investigation...I do know that Muslims are becoming a larger and larger number of the population in Michigan - AW)

 

Subject: THE NEW ARABIC ARMY

 

I checked the Michigan human resources site and this is indeed true. They not only have an application in Arabic, but also a food assistance pamphlet in Arabic. Our country is becoming too stupid to survive. And last year, our president sent $200,000,000 to Palestine to bring 200,000 muslim immigrants to America. We now pay for muslims to immigrate here so our taxpayers can support them. I went to the website for them in the link below and sure enough, on the right side of the page, there is an application for food assistance PDF file in English, Spanish and "Arabic"! I opened the file to see for myself and it's there all right.  Have we gone completely nuts!!? THE CAMEL'S NOSE IS OFFICIALLY IN THE TENT IN MICHIGAN !!!  Muslim men are allowed to have as many as 4 wives. Many Muslims have immigrated into the U.S. and brought their 2-3-or 4 wives with them, but the U.S. does not allow multiple marriages, so the man lists one wife as his, and signs the other 2 or 3 up as 'extended family' on welfare and other free Government programs! Michigan has the highest population of Muslims in the United States . When President Obama took office, the United States paid several millions of dollars to have a large number of Palestinians, (all Muslim), immigrated here from Palestine . Why? I have no idea, do you! We don't pay for other persons to immigrate here, and I'm sure that some of those Muslims moved into Michigan with the large current number of Muslims already established there. So now in Michigan when you call the Public Assistance office you are told to "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Spanish, or Press 3 for Arabic"! Every time you add a new language to an American program it requires an additional number of persons fluent in that language to process those persons who refuse to learn English in order to live here at an additional cost to the taxpayer! Why are we even allowing persons to immigrate here who cannot provide for themselves, and putting them in our welfare system? Press 3 for Arabic. This is quite alarming!!! This seems to have happened clandestinely for, as far as I know, no public announcement of or opportunity to vote on this was ever offered to the American people. They're just adopting an official stance, and very likely using tax-payer money for it, in various capacities, without public knowledge or approval. The following link takes you into the State of Michigan Public Assistance page, (as in Food Stamps etc). You won't have to scroll far before you see the assistance-letters options for...(get this).....English, Spanish, and ARABIC !!!  When did the ARABIC option sneak into our culture? Will we soon have to listen to our governmental offices, stores, and other venues offer us the option of "Pressing 3 for ARABIC?" Check it out for yourself.  https://www.mibridges.michigan.gov/access/accessController?id=0.7591525409616454 Please inform every red-blooded American you know, that this is happening. It is outrageous! The camel's nose is literally now OFFICIALLY under the tent! YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK!!!

A Brief History of Political Correctness and Its Origins

(this is exellent, and very relevant to today's political/economic/social/religious climate- AW)

A Guide for the Perplexed:
A brief history of political correctness and its origins.
by Cartes A. Jouer

When I was a student at the International School of Tanganyika in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, in my teenage years, I attended my ‘Humanities’ class that took place on Tuesday mornings.  The topic of the day was the ’Industrial Revolution’.  After discussing the historical climate of how the industrial revolution emerged, my teacher gave a brief overview of who Karl Marx was and the ideas he had formulated, to explain this monumental historical event.  She explained to us that he was the most “profound thinker” whose ideas changed the direction of history.  He did indeed.  My teacher also noted that his theories were so complicated that many people easily misunderstand him and warned us to take his critics with a “grain of salt”.  I put my hand up and asked my teacher if she would agree that Bolshevism and Maoism had caused the deaths of millions in their attempt to bring about Marx’s Utopian ideas to political reality. And that both Lenin and Mao where avowed Marxists.  It seemed that my questions made her see red (no pun intended).  Slamming her hand on the desk she lividly responded “But they were not TRUE Marxists!!”

The End of U.S.-Israel Strategic Cooperation?

Finally, the administration announced that Austere Challenge would be reconstituted as the biggest and best missile defense exercise yet. Until this week, when it announced that the exercise would be scaled back – way, way back – so Iran would not think it was cover for a U.S.-Israel attack.
This is where General Dempsey comes in – he is the President’s emissary to reassure the Iranians that the U.S. will have nothing to do with an attack on them; that they are safe from us. And he is the President’s emissary to tell the Arab and Muslim world that the relationship with Israel is expendable. Too bad he doesn’t understand that we are not safe from the Iranians and that dumping Israel will not make Islamist and Islamist-leaning countries — from Turkey to Egypt to Pakistan to Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan — our friends.

The United States is trading a long-standing, mutually beneficial security relationship for relations that will be less solid (is anything less solid than the US-Egypt relationship AFTER we’ve spend $1.5 billion on it annually since the early 1980s and welcomed its Muslim Brotherhood revolution?); less technologically advantageous to the U.S. (the technology relationship with the Arab/Muslim world flows only one way); and less protective of minority and civil rights (as the Egyptians discover we have no leverage).

General Dempsey is the fall guy for an administration that increasingly holds Israel in contempt before Arab and Muslim countries — which increasingly hold us in contempt.


The U.S. rejoined the UN Human Rights Commission and the UN Alliance of Civilizations, an openly anti-Israel body that claimed in 2006 that global tensions were driven primarily by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and referred to the September 11th attacks as resulting from “a perception among Muslim societies of unjust aggression stemming from the West.” (I have followed this group AoC for quite some time, it is contributing to one world gov., religion, etc.-AW)

Imagine the outcry if a prominent Republican Party operative, an imam publicly dedicated to "building bridges" with non-Muslims, and three world-renowned Islamic scholars appeared at a convention of a group closely linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. You're right, there would be no outcry at all, for that is exactly what happened over the weekend, as Suhail Khan, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, John Esposito, Karen Armstrong and Tariq Ramadan appeared, along with Nihad Awad of Hamas-linked CAIR, at the annual convention of the Hamas- and Muslim Brotherhood-linked Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

Ohio: The Islam Project for ninth graders

 (This is truly bone chilling....from a 9th grade class in Ohio, AW)


 A book of historical fiction called "A stone in my hand" was assigned to the class as mandatory reading prior to the first day of school.  It is written in the first person voice of a Muslim Arab child living in the Gaza during the intifada years of 1987 - 1993. I was more than stunned and appalled at this agenda for English and Social studies assigned to ninth graders this year. I have no problem with historically accurate studies, studies of other cultures and religions. But I do have a problem with a slanted presentation that is clearly anti-Semitic, anti-Christian and pro-Islam. Not only am I offended at the book, but today I had a chance to review the the worksheets sent home as homework for this 9 week course. The worksheet's title is "Islam Project - Growth of Islam". Islam is a very specific religion. So this, in my opinion, is religious indoctrination masked as Social Studies and English. This is not an elective class on world religions.  How in the world did this happen?

Gaza's Hamas Hopes to Revive Egyptian Ties with Muslim Brotherhood

"We are looking for normalization," Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas leader, said in an interview in Gaza City, where intersections are adorned with billboards of Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi smilingly shaking hands against a backdrop of Egyptian pyramids.

The Gaza Strip is home to 1.7 million Palestinians, all living in an area roughly twice the size of the District of Columbia. Currently, a limited number of people but no goods cross through Rafah, Gaza's only crossing not controlled by Israel, which severely restricts passage of products and people through two other entry points. Advocates say opening Rafah could end Gaza's electricity shortages, reduce its massive unemployment and bring the smuggling of goods and people, which now takes place in tunnels beneath Rafah, above ground.

Cistern dated to First Temple period found in Jerusalem

 

Archaeologists have discovered a large public cistern from the time of the First Temple in Jerusalem’s Old City, the Israel Antiquities Authority said Thursday, offering new insight into the city’s water supply more than 2,500 years ago.

The cistern, which held 250 cubic meters of water, was discovered adjacent to the western side of the Temple Mount during an ongoing excavation at the site, the IAA said in a statement.

The discovery shows that the city’s water supply at the time did not rely solely on the Gihon Spring, Jerusalem’s only natural water source, but rather included large man-made reservoirs of the kind now uncovered, according to the IAA.

The unique size of the cistern — the largest of its time to be discovered in the city — and its location suggest the possibility that it played a part in the ritual activities at the Temple, according to archaeologist Tsvika Tsuk of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.

How China is boosting Egypt’s role in the Mideast

 (Any time China is involved in the Middle East, there are prophetic implications:  The Kings of the East is a title given to China and also the mention of a million man army marching on Israel so that is why I include this article - AW)

The Middle East with its vast energy resources and vital geopolitical position is of crucial importance for all the major powers, both east and west. It is also the site of strong anti-American sentiment and therefore might prove to be an excellent location for China to challenge America’s pre-eminent global role.

The same can be said of Central Asia, but that is rather more dependent on China’s and the USA’s willingness to invest heavily in that region.

Obama's (Un)American Auto Bailout by Michelle Malkin

GM is once again flirting with bankruptcy despite massive government purchases propping up its sales figures. GM stock is rock-bottom. Losses continue to be revised in the wrong direction. According to The Detroit News, "The Treasury Department says in a new report the government expects to lose more than $25 billion on the $85 billion auto bailout. That's 15 percent higher than its previous forecast.

The claims that GM paid back its taxpayer-funded loans "in full" -- a story peddled in campaign ads narrated by Hollywood actor Tom Hanks -- were debunked by the Treasury Department's TARP watchdog this summer. GM still owes nearly $30 billion of the $50 billion it received, and its lending arm still owes nearly $15 billion of the more than $17 billion it received. Bailout watchdog Mark Modica of the National Legal and Policy Center adds: "In addition to U.S. taxpayers anteing up, Canada put in over $10 billion, and GM was relieved of about $28 billion of bondholder obligations as UAW claims were protected. That's an improvement of almost $90 billion to the balance sheet, and the company still lags the competition."

Homosexual Promiscuity: Breeding a national health problem

“Marriage Equality” is perhaps the most convoluted canard of our time. Underneath the hood of the homosexual revolution churns the most serious avoidable health problems of our time.

The majority of our most dangerous sexual diseases emanate from the homosexual revolution and are transmitted to wives, infants, children, and men by LBGTQ individuals who are most often bisexual.

Bisexuals are the majority in the LBGTQ movement. Approximately 1.8% to 4% of Americans are bisexual. This broad gateway infects unsuspecting heterosexual Americans with serious or fatal diseases. The impact to heterosexual women is serious. 70% of HIV infections in women are attributed to heterosexual contact.

Obamacare bans new physician-owned hospitals

 

In 2010, Obamacare limited the expansion of physician-owned hospitals (POHs) and banned the establishment of new ones. By the end of 2010, Obamacare forced up to 84 new POHs in various stages of development to be abandoned.^[1]  These hospitals would have provided nearly 30,000 jobs.^[2] 

Prior to Obamacare, POHs had been increasing rapidly.  Just between 2002 and 2004 the number of POHs nearly doubled, going from 46 in 2002 to 89 in 2004.^[3]   Then, by the spring of 2010 the number of POHs reached 265, nearly tripling in number from 2004.^[4] 

Physicians are restricted from referring Medicare patients to practices in which they have a financial interest.  But there is an exception where the doctor owns part of a whole hospital.

Section 6001 of Obamacare changes this by banning new POHs from accepting Medicare payments.  In addition, expansions of existing POHs must first seek approval from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) if they expect to accept Medicare.  Even then, Obamacare restricts expansion to 200% of the capacity the hospital had in 2010.

Egypt confronts Israel with 6,000 Sinai Islamists as an approved militia

 To keep the truce with the Islamist terrorist networks in Sinai in place, while avoiding a large-scale military operation to suppress them, Egypt is now releasing dozens of jailed Salafist gunmen in batches every few days, so feeding the Islamists a steady supply of reinforcements. Cairo is also in negotiation with Bedouin tribal elders to grant a body of 6,000 Al-Qaeda-linked Salafi gunmen the status of an approved, independent militia. Armed with up-to-date Egyptian weapons, this militia is to be charged with responsibility for maintaining security in the peninsula.

This may be a neat way out for Egypt and let the Morsi government off the hook of grappling with the violent Islamist networks infesting Sinai. But it leaves Israel squarely face to face with a whole new terrorist outfit which has the freedom to choose between operating in the service of Al Qaeda or Cairo – or playing both sides.

Israeli security circles on the southern front familiar with the Sinai security situation explain that the Egyptian army’s claim Monday, Sept. 3 that it pulled “another 20 tanks” out of the peninsula, marking the tail end of its putative counter-terror military offensive, was therefore the reverse of welcome news for Israel.

Michael Moriarty -- The History of World War III, Part 2

To The Finland Station, Bill Clinton’s favorite tome in the highest heat of his collegiate idealism, and the most recent edition of which – as far as I know now of such editions – has a most revealing introduction by Professor Louis Menand of New York University. It is basically a “Before You Read Warning.”

New York University, near which I lived for many years, is hardly a bastion of conservative thought. Yet one of its esteemed professors is cautious enough to qualify the love affairs that young American Marxists fell into with that firebrand of Revolution, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.

The not-so-young but metaphysically urbane Leninist, Edmund Wilson, records Vladimir Lenin’s now historic journey from Finland to Revolutionary Russia and its “Finland Station” in St. Petersburg, a city that was eventually to be called Leningrad.

Dr. Dennis Cuddy -- The Power Elite and the Muslim Brotherhood, Part 16

(this is a continuing series, you can access previous posts through this article - AW)

At the beginning of Part 15 of this series, I mentioned that U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann and four other members of Congress had inquired about the possible influence of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) within our federal government. Rep. Keith Ellison asked Rep. Bachmann for more information about her concerns, and she replied that the federal government continues to be "advised by organizations and individuals that the U.S. government itself has identified in federal courts as fronts for the international Muslim Brotherhood."

As David Horowitz noted a few days ago (August 30): "In 2010, State Department officials began 'engaging' with Muslim Brotherhood representatives shortly before the 'Arab Spring.' In 2011, State Department officials trained Muslim Brotherhood operatives on how to win elections as part of a course in 'democracy theories' following the fall of Hosni Mubarak...."

In Part 15, I mentioned that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Deputy Chief-of-Staff Huma Abedin's father, mother and brother have connections to organizations with ties to the MB. In the 1990s at George Washington University, Huma herself was a member of the Muslim Students Association, which has ties to the MB. Not only is Huma's mother a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, but it is worth noting that the wife of the newly elected Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi is also a member of the Sisterhood.

Dutch embrace radical left as European dream sours/Geert Wilders info

Just over two months ago, the small Dutch community of Almelo woke up to a tragedy that turned out to have national repercussions. On a modest street in a rundown area, Aziz Kara, a 64-year-old Turk, became embroiled in a ferocious argument with his neighbours. When he was struck to the ground, the impact of the blow put him into a coma. Ten days later Kara died of a brain haemorrhage.

In normal circumstances, the death would have preoccupied only the local media. But as the Netherlands prepares for its second national election in two years, Kara's case was different. When relatives and the local community organised a silent march through the streets of Almelo, politicians and mourners came from The Hague and across the country. National newspaper columns were devoted to the incident, which quickly became a PR disaster for arguably the most influential far-right politician in the European Union, Geert Wilders.

We Are Staring At Economic Destruction & Soaring Inflation

Today Michael Pento writes exclusively for King World News to put readers ahead of the curve on what is happening with central planners.  Pento warned, “The European Central Bank and Federal Reserve are both about to announce, this very month, an incredible assault on the Euro and the dollar.”  Pento also cautioned, “... this is just the beginning of rising unemployment and soaring inflation.”

Pento also let investors know how to protect themselves in the coming chaos.  Here is Pento’s piece:  “Central banks will do something in September that causes fiat currencies to be flushed down the toilet.  It will mark the beginning of the end for money that is not backed by precious metals.  The events will be a desperate and final attempt to save faltering global GDP, but it will only lead to further economic destruction and intractable inflation.”
