by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Sat 31 Oct 2009 02:33 PM EDT
The web is ablaze with an excerpt of a speech given by Lord Christopher Monckton warning against the upcoming Copenhagen Climate agreement treaty which will, in effect, create a single world grovernment, that President Obama will sign in only a few weeks. Lord Monckton appeared with Glenn Beck on his program Friday for the entire hour. A very illuminating and entertaining program!

The Hunt for the Graf Spee The pocket battleship Graf Spee was a terror of the seas for the opening months of WW2. The Admiral Graf Spee would sink 9 merchant ships before being trapped in battle with a British combined fleet off Montevideo, Uruguay. Captain Hans Langsdorff strictly adhered to the rules of mercantile warfare at the time and saved all of the crew members of these ships; not a life was lost in these sinkings. Britain formed eight hunting groups in the Atlantic and one in the Indian Ocean to look for Admiral Graf Spee, totalling three battleships, two battlecruisers, four aircraft carriers, and 16 cruisers (including several French ships). More groups were assembled later. Britain: The Royal Navy begins a world-wide hunt for the German pocket-battleship Graf Spee. Four battleships, 14 cruisers and 5 aircraft carriers are engaged in the effort. Germany: (Occupied Poland/ Expanded Third Reich) The death penalty is ordered for all Poles disobeying German authority, with the accused to be tried in SS courts. Italy: Mussolini reshuffles his cabinet, replacing pro-Nazi members with neutral members. Six ministries and several secretariats change. Starace is no longer Secretary of the Fascist Party. Count Ciano remains Foreign Minister. Grandi, who is sympathetic to the British, remains head of the Department of Justice. Mussolini believes in occasional "shuffling" of government posts, and these changes are not believed to reflect a change in foreign policy. Soviet Union: At a meeting of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, Molotov lectures Britain and France for continuing the war but gives no more than moral support to Germany. He stresses that the Nazi-Soviet agreements provide that the USSR shall be neutral if Germany is at war. Meanwhile, the first of three further sets of discussions between the Soviets and the Finns over the recent Soviet demands for border revisions begins (the final meeting ends November 9). Soviet negotiators demand strategic territory in the Karelian Isthmus, the Hango naval base and the ice-free port of Petsamo in the Arctic in exchange for Soviet territory along the eastern border. No agreement is reached. More Day by Day World War Two Events>>>

NB: NYT's Zeleny Again Involved in Obama Story Scrub
by
Riley Jones
on Sat 31 Oct 2009 10:36 AM EDT
Bloggers and their readers have "joked" about the New York Times being the official house organ of the Obama White House. Maybe it's not a joke. Earlier this month (as seen at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog), several bloggers caught the Times making significant changes to its initial coverage of Chicago's humiliating loss of its bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, and of President Obama's involvement in that loss. The first Times report by Peter Baker was fairly harsh, questioning the President's judgment in getting involved, while citing his slipping poll ratings. More>>>

The 9 Most Racist Disney Characters

These old Disney movies are a little bit like your aging Uncle Frank. Honestly, he means well when he points out that Will Smith is "well-spoken." It's just that he, like the assemblage of clips below, dates from a time when people were unfairly characterized by their ethnic background (the acceptable methods are, of course, religion, geography, sexual preference and income).

‘Jobs Created or Saved’ Is White House Fantasy
by
Riley Jones
on Fri 30 Oct 2009 01:58 PM EDT
In honor of Obama's Fantasy numbers, a little of Aldo Nova's maximum cheesefest 'Fantasy.' “Most analysts predict that the fiscal stimulus will have its greatest impact on growth in the second and third quarters of 2009,” Romer said. “By mid-2010, fiscal stimulus will likely be contributing little to growth.” At first it was just fringe elements, such as conservative blogs and the not-really-a-news-organization Fox News, that pounced on Romer’s statement. Then other news outlets started to question her statement, which seemed to fly in the face of White House assertions that only a small portion of the stimulus -- $120 billion, or 15 percent -- has actually been spent. Most of the criticism of the stimulus coming from the president’s own party has been, “too little, too late,” and here’s Romer saying it’s kaput. Thanks for That More>>>
Butthurt Gays... Back to trying to bash Mormons

FTA- There are more histrionics on display in the two-minute trailer (see below)for the pro-gay-marriage ”documentary,” 8: The Mormon Proposition, than in all the episodes of Oprah I can remember seeing. The vast majority of Americans – many of them minorities, and many of them gay - simply believe a child’s best shot at a good life starts with a mother and a father, two consenting people of opposite sexes who can actually reproduce in the first place. This belief has nothing to do with denying same-sex love, or equality, or rights. It simply has to do with the basic, biological reality of conceiving and raising children. More>>>

Death Panel Measure Survives in House Health Bill
by
Riley Jones
on Fri 30 Oct 2009 09:02 AM EDT
Obama Denounces Dishonest "Death Panel" Rumors at Town Hall August 15th, 2009 "In terms of misinformation, because there's no perfect solution... you can have an honest disagreement... What you can't do - or, you can, but you shouldn't do - is start saying things like, we want to set up death panels to pull the plug on Grandma. I mean, come on... When you make a comment like that... that's simply dishonest... The notion that somehow I ran for public office, or members of Congress are in this so they can go around pulling the plug on Grandma?" FTA- The Medicare End-of-Life Planning Provision that 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said was tantamount to "death panels" for seniors is staying in the latest Democratic health care bill unveiled Thursday. The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions families face when a loved one is approaching death. Obama lies, Grandma will die. Nice of him to call people 'dishonest' when he was lying through his teeth the whole time. His conduct is miles below the office of the Presidency and his politics are some of the most divisive in American history. He is creating dangerous fissures in our society and turning people against each other with his half truths and fabrications. More>>>

HMS Rodney and HMS Nelson British Movietone News. The Nelson class was a class of two battleships of the British Royal Navy, built shortly after, and under the terms of, the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. They were the first British battleships built since the Revenge class (ordered in 1913) and their orders were not followed until the King George V class of 1936. In order that they comply with the limitations of the Washington treaty, these ships were of an unusual design with many novel features. In order to reduce the weight of armour, the main gun turrets were mounted all forward, shortening the necessary armoured length.. Britain: The first war film of the conflict, The Lion Has Wings, is premiered, featuring newsreel of a British air attack on a German fleet. A government white paper exposes Nazi brutality towards dissidents and Jews, including the concentration camp system. Germany: A German-Latvian treaty for the evacuation of Germans from the Baltic regions is signed. North Atlantic: U-56 hits the British battleship HMS Nelson, the flagship of the Home Fleet, west of the Orkneys but the two torpedoes fail to explode. Soviet Union: The USSR formally annexes the occupied Polish territories. Thursday, October 29

Rush Limbaugh Responds

Rush's Response to Commissioner Goodell's Answer: Of course, Goodell's a total weasel. He had no answer about the Dolphins' owners so wouldn't even address the question, and he got on his high horse about how McNabb is a fine player and a fine person and it has nothing to do with the color of his skin, when I (a) never said he was not a fine person; (b) never said he was a bad QB -- just that he was overrated (which no one should deny); and (c) said the MEDIA was obsessed with the color of his skin (which is also undeniable), not that I was. I RESPECT Donovan McNabb, as I do all the elite athletes qualified to play in the NFL. I'd love to have a beer with him and discuss football. My job on the ESPN pre-game show was to disagree with the panel when I did. The production meeting the day before the show featured two segments on McNabb and the Eagles. The focus of BOTH segments was, "What's wrong with McNabb?" My thought was that not that much was wrong, that the Eagles defense was not getting sufficient credit, and that I thought the media was hyping McNabb for my stated reasons. -- Rush Limbaugh More>>>

Truman and the Principles of U.S. Foreign Policy: Jimmy Carter rejected the postwar consensus. President Obama appears to be following a similar path
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 08:22 AM EDT
Upon entering office, Barack Obama knew little about foreign policy. But then neither did Vice President Harry S. Truman when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died suddenly on April 12, 1945. President Obama often invokes the supposed mess abroad—especially in Iraq and Afghanistan—left to him by George W. Bush. But Mr. Obama's inheritance is mild compared to the myriad crises that nearly overwhelmed the rookie President Truman. More>>>

The California Homecoming Gang Rape- Did Illegal Immigration play a role?

on Thu 29 Oct 2009 07:56 AM EDT
Question: How many of the attackers were here in this country illegally? Yeah, I know my inbox is going to fill up with charges of 'racism.' I'm just asking a question that has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with defending and enforcing America's borders. Of course, don't expect anyone in the Main Stream Media to tackle that question... Personally, I would prefer that the assailants were not arrested... I just want them all dead. Slowly, painfully, brutally and publicly executed, so other thugs who would do something like this would get the message... FTA- Manuel Ortega, a 19-year-old former Richmond High School student, has been charged with robbery, assault with a deadly weapon causing great bodily injury, rape in concert [gang rape] and rape with violence, according to Richmond Police Lt. Mark Gagan. A fifth suspect, 21-year-old Salvador Rodriguez, arrested Tuesday night, has not yet been charged, although the district attorney's office continues to investigate his role. More>>>

posted on MSNBC with the caption "President makes midnight visit to honor 18 personnel slain in Afghanistan." FTA- U.S. President Barack Obama saw first hand the human cost of the Afghanistan war Thursday as he saluted the flag-draped caskets of 18 soldiers and Drug Enforcement Administration agents killed in Afghanistan this week. After a midnight flight in his Marine One presidential helicopter, Obama landed in Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, home of the largest U.S. military mortuary and main point of entry for service members killed abroad. Well, isn't that special. Barry took time out of his busy schedule to greet some folks who can't argue with him... If he wants to 'honor' our soldiers he can give General McChrystal the troops he requested and quit playing politics while our military is in harm's way. More>>>

Lord Christopher Monckton's speech in Minnesota as referenced in the article. Previously posted on Monday October 26th here at The Saloon Dot Net. Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—a rough draft of what could be signed come December. So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen. More>>>
ALERT: Private insurance premiums could TRIPLE under ObamaCare
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 03:38 AM EDT
In all of the 14 states WellPoint scrutinized, ObamaCare would drive up premiums for the small businesses and individuals who are most of WellPoint's customers. (Other big insurers, like Aetna, focus on the market among large businesses.) Young and healthy consumers will see the largest increases—their premiums would more than triple in some states—though average middle-class buyers will pay more too. Not even two hours after Wellpoint had presented its materials on the Hill, Democrats were already trashing it—which, considering that it runs to some 238 pages and took weeks to prepare, must have required remarkable powers of digestion and analysis.

I'll Pass on 'Opting Out'
by
Roland, the Gunslinger
on Thu 29 Oct 2009 01:28 AM EDT
The Democrats' all-new "opt out" idea for health care reform is the latest fig leaf for a total government takeover of the health care system. Democrats tell us they've been trying to nationalize health care for 65 years, but the first anyone heard of the "opt out" provision was about a week ago. They keep changing the language so people can't figure out what's going on. The most important fact about the "opt out" scheme allegedly allowing states to decline government health insurance is that a state can't "opt out" of paying for it. All 50 states will pay for it. A state legislature can only opt out of allowing its own citizens to receive the benefits of a federal program they're paying for. More>>> Wednesday, October 28
World War Two Seventy Years ago Today: 10/28/1939

'Lebensborn' Lebensborn (Fount of Life, in antiquated German) was a Nazi organization set up by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, which provided maternity homes and financial assistance to the wives of SS members and to unmarried mothers, and which also ran orphanages and relocation programmes for children. Initially set up in Germany in 1935, Lebensborn expanded into occupied countries in western and northern Europe during the Second World War. In line with the racial and eugenic policies of Nazi Germany, the Lebensborn programme was restricted to individuals who were deemed to be "biologically fit" and "racially pure", "Aryans", and to SS members. In occupied countries, thousands of women facing social ostracism because they were in relationships with German soldiers and had become pregnant, had few alternatives other than applying for help with Lebensborn. Britain: A German He111 bomber was shot down by RAF fighters east of Dalkeith in southeastern Scotland -- it is the first German airplane shot down over the British Isles. Tow of the 4-man crew survived. The aircraft is part of Luftflotte 2 which is based in the extreme north of Germany and is engaged in attacking shipping off the northern and eastern coasts of Scotland. France: The British Expeditionary Force is reported to have enough food to feed its nearly 200,000 troops for 46 days. Germany: Himmler issues his Lebensborn decree, urging single German women to dispense with the "bourgeois custom" of marriage to bear racially pure children. Czechoslovakia- currently part of The Third Reich: German police fire on student demonstrators in Prague marking the 20th anniversary of the former Czechoslovakian independence. Street fighting later breaks out in the city center with ethnic Germans clashing with Czech nationalists. One student is killed and a total of 16 casualties are reported. Some 3500 people are arrested. Slovakia: Joseph Tiso becomes the first president of independent Slovakia (formerly part of Czechoslovakia). USSR: Molotov -- in a speech before the Supreme Soviet -- asserts the that USSR has a right and duty to adopt strong measures to insure security and publicly demands territorial concessions from Finland. |
