It's as simple as Do-Re-Mi / ABC, 123

Maybe we need that Michael Jackson Song!

For those people who have forgotten or need a reminder on the facts about Afghanistan:

General David Patraeus

 

The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001, as the US military's Operation Enduring Freedom was launched, along with the British military, in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. The UK has, since 2002, led its own military operation, Operation Herrick, as part of the same war in Afghanistan. 

The character of the war evolved from a violent struggle by U.S.-led forces against Al-Qaeda and its Taliban supporters, to a complex counterinsurgency effort by U.S.-led forces, against Afghans who claim to be trying to expel those U.S.-led forces. The war has killed tens of thousands of people, the majority of whom have been civilians.

As General Patraeus says, "To win this war we must win the hearts and minds of the people." That brief explanation tells why we are in Afghanistan but not why Afghans are trying to expel us.

What if you do not read or write at all, an illiterate, and cannot communicate fluently with others outside your ethnic region?

The Taliban asks you if you remember the Soviets when they were in Afghanistan and then tells you the Americans are the same. In the isolated mountainous areas, the Americans are up against an illiterate population. In the large cities below, millions of text books deemed "too radical" for their own schools in Saudi Arabia were given to the radical Islams  during the Soviet occupation to support terror efforts and are still in use today.

Washington stop telling all of the United States Voters that "We must win their hearts and minds." No one  in Washington speaks about any of the huge communication problems going on with the illiterate Afghan people. Our own troops on the ground do not even have any Afghan interpreters that  speak the correct regional dialects. How can the U.S. win their hearts and minds when they don't  read or know what you are saying?...Duh!

Afghanistan War Cost: $1.2 Billion/day

(DOD 2010 Budget)

 

The Real Answer is simpler and cheaper, but takes time...

...Educate the People!

 It's as simple as Do-Re-Mi / ABC, 123!

Martin Luther King - I Have a Dream Speech

Having been born in Santa Monica, CA, raised in Westwood Hills, CA and grown up in the Southern California area, I lived and worked around many influential people, creative entrepreneurs and, of course, entertainers.  Over the years, I have met the movers and shakers of our country from both sides of the political spectrum, which in itself has been an experience for my own reality show in the first person. LOL!

Burt Lancaster

One movie star and his family I knew very well was Burt Lancaster. In fact, my mother was very active in the local Parent Teachers Association, PTA, with Norma Lancaster, Burt's wife, for over ten years. I went to High School with one son, worked at a local grocery store with another son, another daughter was best friends of my sister and she had many sleep-overs at our house. Our family was invited to watch full cinema screen movies at their home with their family over those years. (Before the advent of the electronic technology today, they had a studio projectionist come out and run movies. How decadent!) 

Burt Lancaster was an early supporter of the ACLU, former President of the ACLU, and proud of it too. When it came to politics, religion and opinions he was not bashful. I used to sit back and observe him as he spoke his passion about civil rights and not always agreeing either, but respectfully listened to his views. Still, his ACLU ideas were radical then and I still think they are now.

In 1957, the Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas started school busing that became the flash point for the nation's debate over civil rights and segregation.   

At the Bellagio Road Elementary School, my Alma mater, located in the heart of Bel Air, an affluent and exclusive area of Los Angeles, Norma Lancaster started the "Bus-A-Child" program in 1960.  It bussed black kids from downtown Los Angeles to that school because it had empty school classrooms due to the older demographics of the local kids aging out and up into middle school and beyond.  

It was a worthy program because it utilized existing public school facilities, but some public outcry was very negative. After all, many were up in arms about school bus desegregation going on throughout the country. This program, thankfully, was totally supported by private contributions and therefore less public pressure. My parents still supported that program while the country was evolving radically into a racial transformation. 

Now, the 1950's ideas were just getting behind us and the 1960's were still ahead.

In June 1963, I graduated High School.

In August 1963, I heard Burt Lancaster speak at a Washington rally and saw as  he stood next to Martin Luther King during his "I have a Dream" speech. Who really knew then how pivotal that speech was at the time?

Actor Ossie Davis introduces Burt Lancaster at the Washington, DC Rally.
 

In November 1963, President Kennedy is assassinated. 

In June 1964, the Civil Rights Act is passed.

In February 1967, I sat in the Bel Air Living room of Norma Lancaster, who was a registrar of voters and registered me as a Republican voter at the age of 21 years old. Jokingly, Norma asked if I was sure it was not for a Democrat registration.

In April 1968, Martin Luther King is assassinated.

In April 1969, Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated. 

In 1969, Norma divorced Burt Lancaster.

It was only like yesterday, only 47 years ago.  LOL!

"We Have To Pass The Health Care Bill So You Can Find Out What's In It"

World Religions Under Dhimmitude

 In India today, President Obama stated proudly that Islam is a great religion and  didn’t even issue stern warnings to any states that harbor jihad terrorism or even naming them had its problems. Why has Barrack Hussein Obama not told the American Christians, Jews and others on what his Obamacare Bill page 107 contains on Dhimmitude Law?... Pass it, Read It!
Dhimmitude - The term was coined in 1982 by the Lebanese president and Maronite militia leader Bachir Gemayel, in reference to perceived attempts by the country's Muslim leadership to subordinate the large Lebanese Christian minority. In a speech of September 14, 1982 given at Dayr al-Salib in Lebanon, he said: "Lebanon is our homeland and will remain a homeland for Christians… We want to continue to christen, to celebrate our rites and traditions, our faith and our creed whenever we wish… Henceforth, we refuse to live in any dhimmitude!"

After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the term became far more widely used, particularly in discussions about Islamism and the Islamization of the West. Our main-stream media never has mentioned "Dhimmitude" at all in the bill!... Why?

Dhimmitude is the status that Islamic law, the Sharia, mandates for non-Muslims, primarily Jews and Christians. Dhimmis, “protected” or “guilty” people, are free to practice their religion in a Sharia regime, but are made subject to a number of humiliating regulations designed to enforce the Qur'an's command that they "feel themselves subdued" (Sura 9:29). 

This denial of equality of rights and dignity remains part of the Sharia, and, as such, are part of the legal superstructure that global jihadists are laboring through violence to restore everywhere in the Islamic world, and wish ultimately to impose on the entire human race. 

The ObamaCare bill is the establishment of Dhimmitude and Sharia Muslim diktat in the United States. Muslims are specifically exempted from the government mandate to purchase insurance, and also from the penalty tax for being uninsured. Islam considers insurance to be "gambling", "risk-taking" and "usury" and is thus banned. Muslims are specifically granted exemption based on this. How convenient. 

So, Christians. Jews and others will have crippling IRS liens placed against all of their assets, including real estate, cattle, and even accounts receivables, and will face hard prison time because they refuse to buy insurance or pay the penalty tax. 

Meanwhile, Louis Farrakhan will have no such penalty and will have 100% of his health needs paid for by the de facto government insurance. Non-Muslims will be paying a tax to subsidize Muslims. Period. This is Dhimmitude.  
  

 Dhimmitude Joint Smokers

I wonder if we can tax pot smokers like these two toakers to pay more for Obamacare?  I think if these guys can just pick their useage up a little every day they can help support it... ya  think?

 

Political Fights - Focus on Who's Behind the Curtain

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve sharply stepped up its efforts to bolster the economy on Wednesday, announcing that it would pump an extra $1 trillion into the financial system by purchasing Treasury bonds and mortgage securities.

Having already reduced the key interest rate it controls nearly to zero, the central bank has increasingly turned to alternatives like buying securities as a way of getting more dollars into the economy, a tactic that amounts to creating vast new sums of money out of thin air. But the moves on Wednesday were its biggest yet, almost doubling all of the Fed’s measures in the last year.

If you did not understand what was said above, then read what Jefferson said below... basically, be ignorant and expect nothing. Sad.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." - Thomas Jefferson

Read what a great economist and staunch free-market capitalist against socialism and collectivism thought. "With the exception only of the period of the gold standard, practically all governments of History have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people." - Fredrich August von Hayek (1899-1992)

The Federal Reserve Bank Wizard behind the Curtain.

We live in a nation that many citizens believe the power of the people has been slipping away. 

Big corporate government is run by greedy men, who cannot be at all trusted. Behind  them all, however, is a true machine that really runs it all, the big elitist bankers behind the scenes. 

From 1894 when our congress first defeated the Income tax act and fought a central banking system as well, the power of the American system was in jeopardy. In 1913, the 16th amendment was passed to the Constitution, but it was not ratified in all the states. Nonetheless, paying taxes became a law. It was not long before we saw the passage of the central banking system. That system today is known as the Federal Reserve Bank. A Delaware corporate entity whose board and those that control it are unknown.

Founders of the international Rothschild banking dynasty, the Rothschilds are now worth over 100 TRILLION dollars. But it is hard to say when someone actually OWNS nearly all the currency of every nation -- and holds their debt. The Rockefellers are only worth about 10 trillion. These amounts are unfathomable by most, the object is control.  Hear their own words:

"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744-1812)

"I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire, ...The man that controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire. And I control the money supply." - Nathan Rothschild (1777-1836)

"There is but one power in Europe, and that is Rothschild." - Werner Sombart 1841, French Journalist

"The Rothschilds have conquered the world more thoroughly, more cunningly, and much more lastingly than all the Caesars before..." - Author Frederic Morton, 1965, Austrian Author

"Who controls money controls the world." - Henry Kissinger

So, now who REALLY runs this world and the politics?  Ask The Council on Foreign Relations and The Trilateral Commission.

Members of The Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission dominate key positions in America's government, military, industries, media outlets and educational foundations and institutions. The following is a partial list of current CFR members and the positions of influence they hold in society.

Obama Road Trip to India - A Bargain at $200 Mil/Day!

Definition: Deep Blue-Water Navy. These ships will be able to control the merchant vessel channels above and well as submarines below the surface from tremendous depths. The largest Navy of this caliber will be Chinese by 2013. The U.S. Navy does not have the capabilities in order to defend these shipping channels.

Did you know India is in a  race with the Chinese? They have to build up their naval presence in the Indian Ocean?... Why?

 

The real arena for future confrontation, say most Indian strategists, lies not in standoffs on remote, rugged peaks but in the waters all around the Indian subcontinent. The Indian Ocean is the thoroughfare for nearly half of all global seaborne trade, and the coastal states are home to over 60% of the world's oil and a third of its gas reserves. The South China Sea is what Beijing calls its exclusive economic zone.

Traditionally, India has imagined the ocean as part of its backyard without investing serious resources in its navy — much more goes to an army and air force that are perched by the land boundaries with the old enemy of Pakistan.

And that gap between India's maritime hubris and real power has been exposed in recent times by China, which is buoyed by a sense of historical revival — dating back to the days when the eunuch admiral Zheng He sailed his medieval trade fleets to India and Africa, bringing back, among other things, a giraffe.

Tensions along the Himalayan frontier with China have spiked noticeably since another round of Sino-Indian talks over long-standing territorial disputes ended in failure last year. In their wake, the frenetic Indian press have chronicled reports of nighttime boundary incursions and troop buildups, even while officials in both governments have downplayed such confrontations. Elements in the Indian media point almost daily to various signs of a Beijing plot to contain its neighbor's rise, a conviction aided by recent hawkish editorials from China's state-run outlets.

China’s growing blue-water naval strength soon may be then augmented by the country’s first aircraft carrier. A series of seemingly unconnected steps over the past two decades have positioned the People’s Republic to  begin their construction  and incorporation of a modern carrier into its  fleet.

The new Chinese carriers will not be called “aircraft carriers,” which is a terminology approach similar to Russia calling its first carrier an “antisubmarine cruiser” and India calling its carrier a navy “air defense ship.” Terms such as “special heavy vessel” have been used in many prior Chinese government announcements.

India has an aggressive carrier program too. India’s and China’s carrier programs have several parallels, such as the use of Russian technology. India has a one- or two-year head start on China. Russia has a huge stake in this region as it has two hungry trading partners in their weapons technology.

Obama is not dumb. Obama may say he is talking to trading partners on this trip, but he has a lot at stake if he  can pull the wool over the U.S. voters' eyes and the Republicans' eyes long enough to pull off a coup d'é⋅tat of gigantic proportions, he may be in negotiations for one of the most significant agreements in the new 21st century, the Sino-Indian Arms Treaties, to preserve World Peace and Trade and prove that his Nobel Peace Prize was indeed given to a most deserving President.  Too bad he is a Progressive, Liberal Ideologue!

What do you think? Is it worth $200 Million a day for Obama to take another shot at the White House bid in 2012?  Obama does!
