While Americans have been distracted by Obamacare and a crippling recession,  the Obama administration has been busy bolstering ties with the most radical of rogue states.

Obama allows internet technology exports to Iran, Cuba and Sudan.

With the drums of war beating loudly in the Middle-East, Obama and his fawning minions have refused to consider Saudi and UAE concerns about the Iranian threat, and instead have reiterated their single minded determination to impose a “final solution” on an obstinate State of Israel.

US ponders denying Israel arms needed for conflict with Iran

Prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu convened his inner cabinet Saturday night, March 12, to discuss the spiraling crisis with Washington and his first response.

debkafile’s military and Washington sources report: The Obama administration is considering withholding from Israel military items urgently needed in case of a flare-up of hostilities with Iran. This would further ratchet up the mounting row over Israel’s decision to build another 1,600 homes in E. Jerusalem. The requests were filed by defense minister Ehud Barak as recently as Feb. 26, when he visited Washington and met defense secretary Robert Gates and secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

In an exceptionally harsh phone call to Netanyahu Friday, March, Clinton herself hinted at this possibility while administering a dressing-down on the East Jerusalem housing decision and its announcement during Vice president Joe Biden’s visit.

Reporting on that phone call, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley disclosed: “The secretary said she could not understand how this happened, particularly in light of the United States’ strong commitment to Israel’s security.”

Washington correspondents interpreted this as a threat to withhold items vital for Israel’s security unless the prime minister reversed that decision (which Palestinians now demand as the precondition for resuming peace talks).

Our military sources report that the Barak arms list is tailored to a potential four-front offensive against Israel launched by Iran and its allies. It includes systems needed by the Israeli Air Force, certain types of missiles and advanced electronic equipment. During his last visit, the defense minster complained the list had been pending in Washington for more than three months and the sands for a possible conflict were running out fast. He stressed that it was essential for these items to reach Israel before a flare-up occurred. The urgency was such that he suggested that if they could not be supplied to Israel at short notice, they should at least be held ready meanwhile in the emergency stores of the US bases in Israel’s Negev.

Gates promised Barak to study the list and let him have his answer in the coming days, but none has so far been received.

Some circles in the United States and many in Israel say the Obama administration is blowing the crisis up with deliberate intent. American-Jewish criticism was led Saturday night by the Anti-Defamation League’s Abraham Foxman, who issued this statement: “We are shocked and stunned at the Administration’s tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem

Defense sources in Washington reported Saturday the view that the Obama administration, which has never cultivated warm relations with the Netanyahu government, has seized on the Jerusalem housing spat as a device for restraining Israel from attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, a step which the White House strenuously opposes.

And it gets worse:

Ambassador Oren reprimanded

Israel’s envoy to US summoned for meeting at State Department, reprimanded over Israel’s announcement of east Jerusalem construction; meanwhile, PM Netanyahu orders establishment of committee to prevent such mishaps in future

The Last Crusade reminds it’s readers:

The Bible is clear about the attitude Christians should
have towards the Jews.

Genesis 12:3 says we should “bless them.

” Isaiah 40:1 commands us to “comfort them.”

Psalm 122:6 says we should “pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”

Romans 11:31 tells us to “show them mercy.”

“I will bless those who bless you and I will
curse those who curse you.” Genesis 12:3 + 27:29

NEWS CORPORATION FALLS UNDER SAUDI CONTROL

Former prominent guests on Fox News, including Walid Shoebat, contend that the News Corporation has surrendered its “fair and balanced” coverage of Islam and events in the Middle East for a fistful of Saudi cash.

Their contention is based on a series of recent developments within the media giant.

The first development was the news that Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corporation, invested $70 million in the Rotana Group, an enterprise owned by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a nephew of Saudi King Abdullah. The Rotana Group operates a host of TV channels throughout the Middle East and is a leading producer of Arabic movies.

Next came Mr. Murdoch’s decision to make Abu Dhabi, the headquarters of the News Corporation’s global media operations in the Middle East.

On Monday, the Fox Business Network announced that it will dispatch a full-time correspondent to the Middle East in order to inform Americans of the unique business opportunities in such places as Syria, a country that provides shelter for Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah and support the insurgents in Iraq.

In the wake of this announcement, Fox news commentators – - including Glenn Beck, Charles Krauthammer, A.B. Stoddard and Bill Kristol condemned Geert Wilders, a well-respected Dutch dignitary and critic of radical Islam, as a “fascist” and a “demagogue.”

Mr. Krauthammer said that the Mr. Wilders, who is the leading candidate for Prime Minister in The Netherlands, doesn’t know the difference between Islam and Islamism, a distinction known only to Mr. Krauthammer.

While Mr. Beck labeled Mr. Wilders as a “fascist,” Ms. Stoddard expressed her agreement with Krauthammer and added that “if people like this (Mr. Wilders)) are elected to lead Holland it will suffer the consequences.

What caused this denunciation?

Mr. Wilders produced a short documentary on Islam in Holland called “Fitna” in which he argued that “there is no such thing as ‘moderate Islam’” and that the Prophet Muhammad would “. . . in these days be hunted down as a terrorist.”

Only last year, Mr. Wilders was a popular guest on Fox News. Bill O’Reilly formally welcomed him to America and criticized Britain for banning him entry to the “hallowed isle.”

In the past, the former member of the Dutch National Parliament was a frequent guest on Fox News. Last February, Bill O’Reilly welcomed Mr. Wilders to America, while condemning a scared Britain for banning him entrance to the country.

Other news about the parent company of Fox News began to surface, including reports that Kingdom Holding owns at least 7% of the News Corporation and has become the second largest shareholder in the Murdoch conglomerate. Some speculate that the actual shares controlled by Kingdom Holding through a hedge fund may exceed 25%.

Kingdom Holding is owned by Prince Talal, who is called “the Arabian Warren Buffet.”

Listed by Forbes as the world’s 22nd richest person, Prince Talal also owns substantial shares of Time Warner, Apple, eBay, Disney, and Citibank.

For charities, he gives millions to Hamas and other pro-Palestinian organizations.

Critics say that Prince Talal’s sizeable investment in the News Corporation accounts for Fox News programs critical of Israel, including a series of special reports in which Carl Cameron and Brit Hume alleged that Israel gathered information about the attacks of 9/11 and failed to warn the American people.

Walid Shoebat, a former member of the Palestine Liberation Organization, who converted to Christianity, charges that Fox New now prohibits critics of Islam and Islamic terror from appearing on its broadcasts.

“He himself (Prince bin Talal) said, ‘I just had to make a phone call to [tell them to] stop using the word Muslim’ regarding the rioting in France,” Mr. Shoebad notes. “Bill O’Reilly says to Ibrahim Hooper, the head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), that he is an upstanding citizen. Since when was the head of CAIR an upstanding citizen?”

Mr. Shoebat adds that viewers will no longer be seeing any so-called “Islamophobes” on Fox.

“Today, I’m not invited at Fox News. Neither is Robert Spencer or Brigitte Gabriel,” he laments. “But Ibrahim Hooper is invited to speak at Fox News. It used to be that experts on terrorism who are critical of the Islamic views [were] able to get a voice on Fox News. Those days are gone.”

Mr. Shoebat says that instead of airing those critical views of Islam, Fox News now legitimizes Hooper, the spokesman for CAIR, a group which he maintains is a front for Islamic terrorists.

OUR CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT U.S. CONGRESS

By Frosty Wooldridge
March 8, 2010

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Senate majority leader Harry Reid represent leadership incompetence at its zenith, its peak, its pinnacle. They prove the “Peter Principle” works at all levels in Western society whereby a person continues advancement until he or she reaches his or her highest level of incompetence. Once they ascend to that level, they cannot fulfill their job descriptions because they do not possess the intellectual or physical tools. Pelosi and Reid prove Mark Twain’s famous saying, “Suppose you were an idiot; and suppose you were a member of Congress—ah, but I repeat myself.”

Those two incompetent people continue funding an absurd war in Iraq and Afghanistan while pretending that the ‘surge’ worked, or that the current ‘surge’ works in the latter country. Come on! The most powerful army in the world cannot stop the suicide bombings in Iraq weekly. They cannot stop ‘insurgents’ from transporting explosives into the country and blowing up Baghdad on a regular basis. They cannot stop the Taliban from maintaining itself in all of Afghanistan. They cannot stop the idea of ‘terror’ because they cannot stop the Islamic religion from flourishing its disciples worldwide.

Yet, we import over 2,000 Muslims from the Middle East every 30 days! How much sense does that make? Our own Muslim immigrants make plans to blow us up in our own country as witnessed by the Denver bomber named Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan-born immigrant. Or, the Muslim U.S. Army Major Nadal Hasan. Or the nut cases in an FBI shootout in Detroit, Michigan that want to turn our country toward Sharia Law. Can’t wait for the next incident, can you?!

ALL THE WHILE, US BORDERS AS OPEN AS A 24 HOUR MALL

So far in the Middle East, we suffered 4,000 U.S. soldier deaths and over 35,000 wounded in those two wars. How about the growing suicides of American soldiers? How about the 2.5 million Iraqi refugees? We’ve blown about $1 trillion on death and destruction. What do we have to show for it? Absolutely nothing! Little known to the U.S. public, after we killed 53,300 American troops in the fraudulent and bogus Vietnam War, another 150,000 to 175,000 military vets committed suicide after their service in that inane war. That’s not to mention the twisted minds, divorces, fatherless children, and alcohol and drugs that eased the pains for millions of military veterans—but at a horrific price of addiction. Then, think of the millions of civilians in Vietnam that suffered more bombs than were dropped in WWII on Europe. And, Agent Orange that poisoned all of Vietnam for decades to cause birth defects and worse!

The Nazi Hermann Goering said, “Naturally the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Lyndon Baines Johnson worked it to a T with his “Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.” George Bush II worked his magic with, “Weapons of Mass Destruction”. Barack Obama worked it like enchantment after his Nobel Peace Prize by saying we must keep fighting “bad people.”

Who are we fighting in Afghanistan? A bunch of goat herders and poppy seed farmers! That country doesn’t own a military helicopter, tank or fighter jet! Yet, we find ourselves stuck over there for eight years! Does that mean out U.S. Army can’t fight its way out of a paper bag? You be the judge!

Have you ever heard of the “Military Industrial Complex” that promotes war and, in fact, thrives on war? Why? Money, lots of it! How do you suppose our military continues fighting against two third world countries with no armies for eight friggin’ years and we still haven’t won anything?!

Pelosi and Reid do not stand alone. The other 533 members of Congress may take a bow for egregious incompetence in the areas of health care, immigration, war, poverty, hunger, prisons and failure to represent American workers and interests. Those members, over the years, outsourced, insourced and offshored millions of American jobs. They killed our textiles, our industry, our steel manufacturing and a hundred other productive enterprises—by sending the work and jobs to China, et al.

Result: We stand $12 trillion in debt. Today, we see 15 to 20 million unemployed Americans. Another 35 million Americans subsist on food stamps. Black and Hispanic unemployed run into the millions and 13.4 million minority children live below the poverty level. Schools in big cities run as high as 76 percent flunkout rates such as Detroit, Michigan and Los Angeles, California. An astounding 40 million Americans cannot read. Another 52 million cannot read past the 4th grade level!

After 39 years and over $1 trillion bequeathed to the War on Drugs, Pelosi and Reid allow over $100 billion of illegal drugs to continue flowing into the USA annually. They allow 900,000 U.S. kids to become dealers and hundreds of our kids have been killed in our streets. How do Reid and Pelosi do that? They command 572,000 military personnel on 120 bases around the world, but they won’t put 50,000 on our borders to stop the drug smuggling or illegal aliens crossing by the millions.

All the while, over 20 million illegal aliens reside, work and leach off our country and its taxpayers. We pay out $346 billion annually (Source: www.thesocialcontract.com) to illegal aliens and their kids—all of that money voted on in Congress to support criminal aliens across 15 different agencies.

With 15 to 20 million unemployed Americans and only 95,000 new jobs being created each month according to Katie Couric at CBS—our Congress imports 100,000 new legal immigrants every 30 days. This year, as last year, our Congress will import another 450,000 immigrant workers with green cards. We cannot possible employ our own citizens let alone the 100,000 new immigrants monthly plus the 450,000 green card holders.

But, when I wrote my U.S. House Rep Mike Coffman to lower legal immigration to 100,000 annually instead of 1.2 million annually, he replied, “I do not believe it is in the best interests of the United States to limit legal immigration to 100,000 individuals annually. It will place America at a competitive disadvantage moving forward. For that reason I do not support eliminating H-1B and H-2B visas.”

Is he crazy or am I crazy? Can he work simple math or not? Does it make sense to import 100,000 people who need jobs every 30 days or is Coffman completely out of his mind?

Nope! He’s a U.S. Congressman and we suffer another 534 just like him. The corruption and incompetence set the benchmark of the 21st century. November 4, 2010 cannot come soon enough. We must elect another batch to displace the current troglodytes in the U.S. Congress.

WAR PRODUCED 600,000 CHRISTIAN REFUGEES

ETHNIC CLEANSING OF ALL NON MUSLIMS UNDERWAY

Pre-election violence in Iraq – - including the beheadings of members of a Shiite family and the murders of three Sunni election candidates – - will not derail the U.S. military plans to withdraw combat forces from the country this year, Pentagon officials said.

The security situation in Iraq remains tense ahead of Sunday’s parliamentary vote.

More than 30 people were killed in a triple suicide bombing Wednesday in Baquba and several members of the Iraqi security force were killed Thursday during early voting.

Geoff Morrell, a spokesman for the U.S. Defense Department, says U.S. military plans in Iraq remain on schedule despite the violence and the threats for increased attacks on civilians.

“Neither this attack nor any of the previous attempts to derail the electoral process and to destabilize the government have been or will be successful, nor do we anticipate that it will derail our responsible drawdown of forces in Iraq,” Mr. Morrell insists.

The U.S. military has around 96,000 soldiers in Iraq who will stay on duty in the weeks after March 7 elections. By September 1, however, the troop level will be reduced to 50,000.

Iraqis will head to the polls Sunday for the third time since U.S.-led forces overthrew Saddam Hussein in 2003.

The Pentagon announced plans in February to change the name of the mission in Iraq from Operation Iraqi Freedom to Operation New Dawn to reflect a shifting strategy for the U.S. military.

The New Dawn is far from the dawn the U.S. envisioned when in March 2003, when the Bush Administration inaugurated the invasion of Iraq with plans to implant a secular democracy to replace the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Iraq has been transformed into an Islamic republic. Article 2, Section A, of the Iraqi Constitution states: “No law that contradicts the established provisions of Islam may be established.”

The U.S. invasion produced another unexpected result: the expulsion of over 600,000 Christians from the country where they were protected by Hussein, and ethnic cleansing which has resulted in the slaughter of 2,000 more Christians.

The cost of the U.S. establishment of an Islamic regime in Iraq is expected to exceed $900 billion by September.

As of February 18, 4,379 US soldiers have been killed in the conflict, and 31,669 have been seriously wounded.

STATE-WIDE TAXPAYERS REVOLT UNDERWAY!

GOLDEN STATE GRINGOS LAST GULP!

Immigration limitation activists have initiated a statewide petition drive to get the California Taxpayer Protection Act on the ballot.

If passed, the measure will serve to eliminate the lure of birth tourism and to limit the financial, social, and vocational benefits afforded to illegal aliens who produce offspring on US soil. Such “anchor babies” become instantaneous US citizens and their parents become eligible for Medi-Cal, food stamps, public welfare, public housing and a host of other entitlement programs that are bankrupting the state and the federal government.

At present, illegal aliens receive 18 years of welfare checks for every anchor baby.

Sweeping in its implications, the California Taxpayer Protection Act ct would halt non-emergency medical aid— including the taxpayer-funded pre-natal care that has actually been advertised across Mexico and other countries by migrant advocacy groups—and would limit the state welfare payments that illegal immigrant parents collect on behalf of their citizen-children to five years.

Is the California Taxpayer Protection Act necessary?

Consider the following facts reported by the Los Angeles Times:

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly
illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. 60% of all occupants public housing in L.A. County are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in Los Angeles are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County).

11. 65% of all births at Los Angeles General Hospital are to illegal aliens.

12. 70% of all births at Joaquin General Hospital are to illegal aliens.

Arriving in Los Angeles from Tijuana, visitors might believe they are still in Mexico. The storefronts and the street venders are flush with Latino goods, including turquoise and pink statues of Our Lady of Guadalupe, sugar skulls, wayu hats, la Calavera tee shirts, and la Muerte field bags.

Some innovative merchants spread popcorn in the gutters in order to capture street pigeons which they cage and sell at the bargain rate of five for $10 before the closed art-deco theaters on Broadway.

Within the subway system, ceramic murals depict the gringo settlers as the spoilers of Hispanic haven of California. The villains in the murals are James K. Polk (who presided over the Mexican-American War), Kit Carson (who guided Stephen Kearny’s soldiers into California), and the forty-niners – - the prospectors who “invaded” California during the gold rush.

Broadway – - the street which housed the grand art-deco movie palaces of the studio days – - has become transformed into a barrio. Some of the palaces have been transformed into Hispanic churches; others into Latino flea markets.

In 1940, Harry Chandler, editor and publisher of the Los Angeles Times and one of southern California’s most prominent real estate developers, spoke of his city as “the white spot of America,” a place free of crime, communism, and non-white races.

Mr. Chandler was many things – - prescient not being one of them.

SATAN ALIVE AND WELL IN HAITI

thelastcrusade.org

Haiti’s supreme Voodoo leader and hundreds of his followers intend to wage “war” upon Christian Evangelicals after they attacked a Voodoo ceremony in which chickens were beheaded to honor the Haitians killed in last month’s massive earthquake.

The attack on the Voodoo ritual within Port-au-Prince’s sprawling Cite Soleil slum came amid rising religious tensions, as Protestant Evangelicals and other denominations vie for converts in the wake of the earthquake that killed more than 200,000.

Some of the converts say they abandoned Voodoo to embrace fundamental Christianity because, they believe, God caused the earthquake to give them a spiritual warning.

“It will be war — open war,” Max Beauvoir, supreme head of Haitian voodoo, announced to the press at his home and temple outside the capital.

“It’s unfortunate that at this moment where everybody’s suffering that they have to go into war. But if that is what they need, I think that is what they’ll get,” Beauvoir said.

The quake also left more than a million homeless and left much of the capital and surrounding areas in ruins in this Caribbean nation of more than nine million.

Police said a Christian pastor urged followers to attack the Cite Soleil ceremony, resulting in a crowd of people throwing rocks at the voodoo followers.

Rosemond Aristide, a police inspector in Cite Soleil, said he had since spoken with the pastor, who agreed to allow voodoo ceremonies to take place there.

But he would not explain why no arrests were made nor provide further details.

Beauvoir accuses the Christian denominations of using post-quake aid supplies such as food and medicine to try to “buy souls.”

“I would like to see each one of them tied up in ropes and thrown in the sea, and I hope the best of them will be able to catch a plane and run away and leave in peace,” the voodoo priest said.

Asked whether he would encourage voodoo followers to respond with the same kind of violence, Beauvoir said he would.

“They have not been aggressors,” he said of his followers. “I think they are aggressed (attacked), and they will have to answer with the same type of aggression. I don’t mean for (Evangelicals) to die. I am not out to kill them.”

More than 50% of Haiti’s population practiced voodoo in some form, though many are thought to also follow other religious beliefs at the same time.

Voodoo evolved out of beliefs slaves from West Africa brought with them to Haiti. It is now deeply rooted in Haitian culture.

A voodoo priest named Boukman has been credited with setting off the country’s slave rebellion in the late 18th century and the creation of the world’s first black republic.
