Subject: Thoughts-I [Corbett, Midterms, POTUS-'16. Islamism, Kurdistan, Dershowitz, Illegals, Holder]


http://www.scribd.com/doc/241277465/Thoughts-I-Corbett-Midterms-POTUS-16-Islamism-Kurdistan-
Dershowitz-Illegals-Holder

I received condolence-themed memos from a few of you following my finis-themed note, but please
know that the death of these Blast e-mails has been greatly exaggerated [corrupting Twains quote+;
Im just going to TRY to focus *and shave-away time in the process], as per the [not so] subtle
suggestions of a few of you. Attachments provide essays focused on Rush Limbaugh, Jonah Goldberg,
Jerry Gordon, and Jim Geraghty.

The backlog of the entire set of Action-Items generated since December has been
provided without risking spamming *including the finis pledge+, recalling the fact
that each is < 2 megs [I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII,
XIX, XX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX and XXX]; they can be
searched for key-words. ,The prior six months entries *anti-BHO+ will be added
*focusing on BHOs Scandal-Sheet and the effort to defund ObamaDontCare,
spotlighting Cruz].} More than 4600-pages have been composed during the past year,
and the reader is invited to ID any internal contradiction *for there arent any!+,
inasmuch as the secondary-goal has been consensus-development.

In the process, I will dutifully-report personal initiatives that have been made [plus the reactions
thereto]; for example, I was somewhat demonstrative within GOP-circles [on Friday] when pleading
with leadership that outreach be maximized, in lieu of preaching to the converted. ,They know who
they are, so its unnecessary to convey details herein; the bottom-line is that optimism must not blind
Rs from the arduous task of matching the well-honed ground-game of the Dems [on all levels, from
national to state to county to township to ward to precinct], an effort that should have been started
yesterday.- In short, those who wish to conduct business-as-usual despite BHOs relentless pursuit
of anti-Constitutional Statism, they will continue to be attacked mercilessly, even if a dozen hyperlinks
do not follow each/every assault; that is why Dems who do not condemn him are complicit, and wound-
licking [after the TEA Party Movement challenged the GOP-Establishment] is verboten!

Recall again the ability to follow major resources, a list of regulars *Keystone Report,
Politics PA, Drudge, Breitbart, Real-Clear-Politics, Pamela-Geller, Daily-Alert, Politico,
Arlene Kushner, Charlie Shipp, etc.] that has been resolute [e.g., Rush Slammed
Deceptive 'Grass-Roots' Efforts to Censor His Show] and, now, enhanced.

For example, Jerry Gordon provides uniquely incisive info available in
few other places, noting that three recent entries provide perspective
regarding the opposition to efforts to recognize the need to fight a
global war against Islamism. [First, he quotes two (contrasting) POTUS-
level viewpoints on Islam; second, he details the current plight of the
Kurds in Besieged Koban (a concern raised by Islamic State Assaults
City in Syrian Kurdistan); third, he adds the CIA-dimension to Benghazi-
Gate.+ He seems to have been heard, inasmuch as he reports the US

2

has begun to bomb Islamic State terrorists who had surrounded
Koban.

In addition, Ted Belmans Israpundit *e.g., More French Jews drifting to
National Front party] provides multidimensional analysis of the forces-
at-play; discussion thereupon is particularly educational, for it often is
provided by well-recognized authorities.

These are quality-thinkers/doers, worthy of emulation.

For an update on the midterms, note how real-clear-politics shifted; Michigan is now a toss-up and a
quick-glance @ hyperlinks on the top-five toss-up states reveals the fact that all of the latest polls
support the GOP. Other accrued headlines appear supportive of these global conclusions:

As the beauty-pageant for front-runner status among the Establishment-GOP for POTUS-16
continued, JEB BUSH SUGGESTED REPUBLICANS SHOULD PASS AMNESTY IF THEY WIN BACK SENATE
[excluding him, in my view, despite the fact that Boehner said Jeb Bush 'would be a great candidate'],
Romney in 2016 may be 'a Real Possibility' [despite the desire for fresh-blood, and the lingering faults
such as RomneyCarethat cannot be remedied], and CHRISTIE RALLIED GOP TROOPS FOR CORBETT
while DECLARING HIMSELF 2
ND
GOVERNOR OF PA [despite the fact that his stewardship of NJpensions,
debt, Revel Casino, Sandy-$ expendituresremain problematic].

And, invoking the metaphor [promoted by Gingrich, years ago] that there will be Semi-
Finals [between the aforementioned and those who are viewed as insurgents] prior to
the Finals *between two survivors+, the stock of Cruz rose when Cruz [again] won the
Value Voters straw poll, despite having been dissed by Santorum, who criticized Cruz's
comments at Christian event; this is a particularly meaningful concern, because
Santorum *who should have left the stage years ago+ attacked Cruz for inappropriately

3

insisting these individuals support every policy Cruz wanted, absent any expression of
awareness that support for Jews and Israel is pivotal when fighting Islamism. Also,
Carson claimed Anarchy could threaten 2016 vote *theres no telling what could
happen in just a matter of a couple of years+; this type of rhetoric will not predictably
resonate, despite how it might be justified. Recalling my support for Wisconsin Gov.
Scott Walker to be on the Cruz-ticket, note that his Rivals Reply To Serious Accusation
of plagiarism May Have Secured Him The Race; also, after a federal court ruling, it is up
to Wisconsin to decide whether to continue the [spurious] investigation of Wisconsin
Governor Scott Walker. {Regarding this behavior that seems unique to Libsrecalling
Bidennote that STILL MORE PLAGIARISM CHARGES were LEVELED AT CNN'S FAREED
ZAKARIA.}

{Also, not surprisingly, Religious conservatives are opposed to Hillary.}

Regarding Corbett, the battle-of-the-polls continues with that of the Keystone Report
[Wolf 49 Corbett 40]notwithstanding the F&M Poll [Wolf 54 Corbett 34]suggesting
the gap has narrowed from more than 20% to less than 10% (citing likely-voters); I had
predicted this phenomenon would naturally occur (as people return to their parties),
and it is probably enhanced by awareness that the F&M Poll showed Obama's Approval
Rating Dropped to 31%. Uniquely, Nate Silvers FiveThirtyEight Graded PA Pollsters, as
others view this as The Three-D Election *distrust, dismay, and dissatisfaction+.

Meanwhile, it seems a controversy erupted when CORBETT ask KANE to
TURN OVER RACY EMAILS after AG KANE said STATE POLICE CHIEF and
DEP SECRETARY were AMONG THOSE RECEIVING PORN E-MAILS;
CORBETT simply reasserted his AG-mien ['I've got to give everyone a
fair playing field...I need all the facts']. In response, the AG's office
answered very few follow-up questions, as Rep. Metcalfe (R) saw 'red
flags' with how AG Kane released info; overall, there is a COMPLEX
STORY BEHIND AG KANE'S RELEASE OF GOVT PORN E-MAILS, and
Miceks commentary on 'depressing list' was that symbolism just stings.

My comment regarding the state-of-the-race is provided for critique:

I have no doubt that, currently, Corbett is challenged, but yall should
know that Bob Asher is not only nearing his $12-million state-wide $-
raising effort, but he also withstood ~15-minutes of being peppered
with key-concerns [by yours-truly+ last weekwith aplomb.

Details are irrelevant, for now, but know that we had an audience of a
half-dozen politicos, as he candidly analyzed the forces-at-play; we were
not only provided a window into how insiders think/behave, but we
were provided specifics as to which issues raised were justified [and to
what degree, including what's being done about them].

I may be able to insert more vowels into my entries than does Chris
and his prediction of a Corbett-landslide may be a bit overblown but
Ill predict that the NEXT WaPo survey of the chances of sitting-

4

governors for re-election will no longer bury Corbett [despite the
wishful-thinking of their resident-libs].

Pro-Corbett ads are being unleashed, and the Inqys claim that they havent worked
resembles the self-fulfilling [wishful-thinking] prophesy, for it is impossible yet to draw
conclusions [particularly after debate-#1, at which the real Tom Corbett emerged].
Remarkable in his national and statewide scope is the leader of Let Freedom Ring,
Colin Hanna [mentioned most-recently when he was touted as having helped to arrange
for Cruz to speak @ the National Constitution Center, and previous thereto when he
praised Rubios wisdom+ has made a six-figure buy for Corbett; thematic in these ads is
the warning that the electorate not fall for a Wolf in sheep's clothing.




Alan Dershowitz continues to repent for prior support for BHO, behaviorally, as he echoes points made
herein, both regarding why Israel`s strategy in combating Hamas serves as the blueprint the US should
use versus ISIS [explaining why BHO hates BB] and why Israel`s War Against Hamas is justified [invoking
the Terror Tunnels as a metaphor, albeit not addressing why this concern hadnt been detected prior to
the onset of the latest hostilities]; his Sirius-XM Radio-Show [Sunday 10-noon on Indie 102+ follows
that of Rabbi Elliot J. Cosgrove, Ph.D. *New Yorks Park Avenue Synagogue+, who engages listeners in
discussion around Judaism.

I called-in last week and today [first caller, on both occasions]; because I was cut-off last
week [after having praised Dershowitz for agreeing to introduce Cruz @ the ZOA-Dinner
and after having advised that GitMo should remain a POW-camp until the Islamists have
been defeated+, this weeks call was focused on whether he lamented support for *anti-
Israel] BHO. It was prefaced by a brief clarification of what Rabbi Cosgrove had said
[noting they had just swapped guest-appearances] when it seemed both would not
disinvite speakers who are pro-BDS to speak either in a synagogue or on a college
campus; when I asked him point-blank if he regretted support for BHO, he said he only
would reach that conclusion if Iran got the Bomb [and only then would he agree BHO
would have channeled Neville Chamberlain].

He has titled his show Debate Dershowitz but, actually, he delivers a uniformly self-serving reaction to
whatever topic a listener raises *plugging his Terror Tunnels book, in particular+; even as the media are
belatedly acknowledging the fact that BHO was too late in realizing Israel is not the major Middle East
problem and when reminded of BHOs problematic UN-Speech [which borrowed Bush's foreign policy
lingo, but blamed collapse of peace talks on Israel and failed to dangle renewed sanctions against Iran if
it nuked-up+, he refused to issue a conclusion based upon all available data *turning to Frank in Kansas
instead]. Thus, despite his stridently pro-Israel statements and writings (and despite the fact that
Dershowitz Declared War on the Soros-Financed Media Matters Site), he remains steadfast in his BHO-
support.

I didnt have time to probe some of BHOs other activities; otherwise, I would have
noted that Cheney Was "Stunned" Obama Invoked Ferguson In U.N. Speech, even as a
POLICE OFFICER was SHOT IN FERGUSON last night, one day after the FERGUSON POLICE
CHIEF APOLOGIZED TO BROWN FAMILY and PROTESTERS [before any decision has been
made by the Grand-Jury]. Meanwhile, Politicos [lib] take on Race and the Modern GOP
is that todays deep divides are due to the civil rights movement [and not, perhaps, due
to agitation by BHO/Holder and their minions]; such agitation is clearly intended to
maximize GOTV efforts prior to the midterms, for BHO is behind on other parameters.

,At the risk of relapsing from my New Years Resolution so quickly-, note that the titles of these articles
serve to reinforce conclusions articulated herein regarding how poorly/belatedly BHO is combating this
worldwide scourge, the recreation of a Caliphate:

Obama's exceptional U.N. address *per Politico+ contained little talk of Americas duty
to solve the worlds problems. In it, and in subsequent comments by his Presser, he
strained to differentiate what he is doing from what Bush-43 had done; after much
hemming/hawing/contradiction [with Hagel/Biden], Josh Earnest now avers "The United
States Is At War With ISIL":

MR. EARNEST: ISIL has declared war on the broader international
community. And what the President is doing, as he is doing what is
expected of the American President, is that he is building and leading in
an international coalition to take the fight to ISIL. And that means that
the international community is at war with ISIL and the United States is
at war with ISIL in the same way that were at war with al Qaeda and its
affiliates around the globe.

Q: Its not just a counterterrorism operation, not just a police
operation or police action -- its a war.

MR. EARNEST: Well, what were talking about Bill is were talking about
a counterterrorism strategy that will apply to this situation that weve
successfully applied in other places. And whats important for
everybody to understand, particularly your listeners, is that the conflict
that the President is talking about and the strategy that the President is
talking about is very different than the strategy that was pursued in the
previous conflict in Iraq. That were not talking about the deployment
of hundreds -- of 140,000 American troops to roll tanks across the
desert and secure and occupy large swaths of desert land in Iraq. Thats
not what were contemplating here.

Remember BHO ordered the Army to lay off 30,000 US soldiers and felt
Forced to 'get picky' in recruiting; now, the White House won't estimate
cost of ISIS war and the MILITARY WILL ALLOW ILLEGALS TO SERVE.
Overall, it must be dawning on more and more people that this is a
global war against the ISLAMIC STATE.

Regarding Kurdistan, my op-ed piece pleading with BHO to Arm Kurdistan to Defeat the Islamic
State...ASAP! provoked 80+ comments [along with my rejoinders], as the situation continues to become
dire [vide supra]; the Kurdistan issue was discussed by Dr. Sherkoh Abbas in the Jerusalem Post, and at
least one other analysis has appeared alleging there is now A Chronically Fractured Kurdistan, perhaps a
manifestation of increased Iranian Leverage over Turkey [as was discussed generically in this essay and
in greater detail in its predecessor, America Must Recognize Kurdistan, published by the Jewish
Policy Center]. Note that the Kurds demanded Turkeys help against ISIS and threatened to halt peace
process; Kurdish fighters in Koban called on Ankara to provide them with weapons and ammunition.

SUNDAY SHOW WRAP-UP [c/o The Hill]: ISIS DOMINATED [September 28, 2014]

Obama: Intelligence community underestimated ISIS threat; the president admitted that
the United States was surprised at the force behind ISIS. [blame-shifted, again]

Obama adviser Tony Blinken said: Trained Syrian rebels could fight because
Assad Moderates are the key to fighting ISIS and pushing Assad out of power; also,
White House still wants 2002 military authorization repealed as Congress will be asked
for a specific authorization for fighting ISIS. Support for seeking such a resolution ASAP
was voiced by Boehner, Rep. Keith Ellison [co-chair of the Congressional Progressive
Caucus, who feels a Narrow AUMF could pass, depending on lingo], Kaine, Barrasso and
King. {Sen. King also asserted 'Turkeys got to fish or cut bait.'}

'Somebody's boots have to be on the ground' to defeat ISIS, Boehner said; The U.S. may
have no choice but to send in ground troops. Dem Sen. Chris Murphy fears long-term
conflict in Syria and warned Obama lacks a "realistic political strategy" in Syria.

Tax reform, highway bill 'doable, Boehner said; he will implore Obama to find "common
ground" in last two years.

Secret Service's 'task is incredible'; Agents reportedly didn't know the White House had
been hit by bullets in 2011.

Note how the following rationalizations from NY-Times libs echo BHOs its a tough job claims
[explaining why I cancelled the Sunday-subscription a month ago]:

--MAUREEN DOWD, on cover of N.Y. Times Sunday Review, "From Pen and Phone to
Bombs and Drones: The amazing shift from peacenik to war president": "America failed
spectacularly in creating its democratic model kitchen with Iraq. So now we have to go
back periodically and cut the grass, as they say in Israel, to keep our virulent foes in
check. It is pre-emption. But the difference with President Obama's pre-emption is that
there is an actual threat to the globe from a vicious, maniacal army. ... The ex-
community activist elected on a peace platform has grown accustomed to coldly
ordering the killing of bad guys."
--THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN, "Who Had It Easier, Reagan or Obama? Tearing down walls
and battling systems of disorder": "In several critical areas, Reagan had a much easier
world to lead in than Obama does now. ... The defining struggle in Reagan's day was the
Cold War, and the defining feature of the Cold War was that it was a war between two
different SYSTEMS OF ORDER: Communism versus democratic capitalism. ... Obama's

8

world ... is increasingly divided by regions of order and regions of disorder, where there
is no one to answer the phone."

Regarding Israel, as BB arrives in NYC *and plans a working meeting with BHO+, self-interest trumped
the presumed-split [when Hamas was documented to have attempted to undermine the PA in
Judea/Samaria], as Hamas and Fatah [the two most powerful Palestinian political factions] Reached Deal
on Governing Gaza Strip, giving the Palestinian Authority a role in governing the Gaza Strip for the first
time since Hamas seized control of the territory seven years ago. The reinstatement of the Fatah-led
Authority to an administrative role in Gaza had been a central demand for the U.N. and foreign
governments to ensure potential donors that the aid necessary to rebuild the territory after this
summer's war with Israel will be used for reconstruction rather than for armaments. {Ominously,
perhaps mirroring BHOs projection for Dems, PR giant (Burson-Marsteller) dumped Israel and signed
Muslim Brotherhood.}

Palestinians now admit 'Hamas Wanted Us Butchered So It Could Win the Media War
Against Israel'; nevertheless, Hamas Claimed Victory After Operation Protective Edge
after the truce that was called following a 50-day war that led to Gazan devastation
(death toll of over 2100 people, nearly 500,000 displaced persons and rubble lining the
streets where buildings used to be) merely by claiming Israel didnt defeat it.

*

September 9, 1993: Yasser Arafat's letter to PM Yitzhak Rabin "the PLO renounces the
use of terrorism and other acts of violence and will assume responsibility over all PLO
elements and personnel in order to assure their compliance, prevent violations and
discipline violators."

CONTRAST WITH

Abbas at UN General Assembly: 3-Year Deadline to End Occupation Must be Set: "I
affirm in front of you that the Palestinian people hold steadfast ....to their legitimate
right to resist this colonial, racist Israeli occupation...and we will maintain the traditions
of our national struggle established by the Palestinian fedayeen and to which we
committed ourselves since the onset of the Palestinian revolution in early 1965."

"This culture of racism, incitement and hatred was glaringly manifested in the
despicable, appalling crime committed months ago by fascist settlers, who abducted the
young Jerusalemite boy Mohammed Abu Khdeir, burnt him alive and killed him."

[IMRA: The Jews responsible for this terrible crime were detained by Israel and are now
on trial and "settler Rabbis" called for the DEATH PENALTY to apply for the murder of
Mohammed Abu Khdeir. In sharp contrast, Mahmoud Abbas insists that any Palestinian
who murders an Israeli should be RELEASED.]

"Foundations of the State of Palestine that we want: a sovereign and independent State
living in peace and building bridges of mutual cooperation with its neighbors; that
respects commitments, obligations and agreements"


9

[IMRA: Yet not a word about the unified PA removing the missiles in the Gaza Strip that
are in GROSS VIOLATION of "commitments, obligations and agreements".]

*

Egypts President Sisi Addressed the United Nations: The continued deprivation of the
Palestinian people of their rights is undoubtedly exploited by some to inflame other
crises, achieve hidden goals, fragment Arab unity, and impose control on Palestinians
under the guise of realizing their aspirations.

Regarding Holders resignation, it should be noted that it had been anticipated to occur after the
elections; why was it pushed-up?

Famed chef Emeril Lagasse says that its becoming all but impossible to be a successful
restaurateur in America today. The government just gets in the way too much. Lagasse
specifically singled out the current presidents policies.

Its becoming a very challenging industry to become a very successful
average restaurateur, continued Lagasse. I cant charge $300 a person
in my restaurant or I would not be in business. Am I using any different
ingredients? Not really. Am I using any caliber of service staff? I dont
think so. I think our service is as good or better than most places.

And then you add all the Obama nonsense to what its become in the
last several years. I dont have anything against Mr. Obama. Im just
saying the way that, you know the government should stay out of
things. *...+ Pretty soon, theyre going to wipe a lot of the middle
restaurateurs and restaurant cooks. [...] If it continues, then watch:
youre going to have high-end, and youre going to have fast food, and
youre going to have chain restaurants.

Lagasse shared his thoughts on TNTs On the Menu. He predicts that if
the government doesnt start getting out of the way, the American
restaurant industry will split and leave entrepreneurs and start-ups
behind. American restaurants will consist only of high-end
establishments like the ones Lagasse owns, fast food and chain
restaurants, because no one else will be able to succeed.

Midterms-Media-hellou-Vizio

Foreign Affairsparticularly related to efforts to define the moving parts in the Middle Eastcontinue
to stump otherwise lucid thinkers [although I feel my op-ed (Arm Kurdistan to Defeat the Islamic
State...ASAP!) summarized the key forces-at-play]; for that reason, it is desirable to provide another
compilation of hyperlinks that are illustrative of points that, apparently, need to be driven-home. For
example, OBAMA again attempted to shift-blame when he admitted that, FOR A COUPLE YEARS, OUR
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN SYRIA; what he would want the
listener to forget is that he has had control over the personnel providing such data [with sources
admittedly having been compromised after his precipitous Iraqi withdrawal] and that he has had control
over the procedures these individuals followed *noting that Brennan expunged reference to Islamism
from all training manuals, enhancing the difficulty in naming a problem that had, essentially, no name].
Finally, note that Syrian Kurds Fight ISIL, Assad, With Little Help From United States. {Again, the
attachment contains essays by/about Rush Limbaugh, Richard Baehr, and Jim Garegthy.}

The Islamic State continues to run-amok; it Raided the Biblical City of Nineveh; Sold
Ancient Treasures for Millions; Destroyed a 1300-Year-Old Church; Beheaded 15 Family
Members of Afghan Police Officers; and, Wary of Air Strikes, Changed Tactics. Not to be
outdone, an Al-Qaeda-Linked Group Claimed Rocket Attack Near US Embassy in Yemen
and Al-Qaeda Plans European Attacks to Prove Their Continued Relevance Following the
Rise of the Islamic State.

In addition, its ranks appear to be growing [Radicalized British Muslims
More Likely to Be Rich, Depressed and Born in UK+ and its reach is
global [Filipino Jihadists Threaten to Behead Elderly German Tourist;
Boko Haram Dimmed Hopes of Oil-Fuelled Revival of North Nigeria; and
Nigerian Military Warned: We Will Kill Anyone Impersonating Dead
Boko Haram Leader.]

In reaction, Assyrian Christians Took-Up Arms Against Islamic State in Ravaged Iraqi
Towns; Germany Started Training 32 Kurdish Fighters; Muslim Mothers Made a Stand
Against Radical Islam Being Peddled by Sheikh Google; Britain, Belgium and Denmark
Joined Fight against Islamic State Group; Radical Feminists Stripped and Took to Streets
of Paris in Protest Against Radical Islam; and the Australian PM Warned of 'Lone Wolf'
Terrorism.

Sadly, perhaps, it must be appreciated that WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW about Khorasan and The Islamic
State entails the need to find Credible Targets in Syria; indeed, because Questions Surround Al Qaeda
Cell Khorasan's Ability to Strike 'Imminently' and, thus, the pretense BHO invoked to initiate bombing is
highly-suspect *albeit surely welcome+; thats why so many legislators feel Congress should be asked
ASAP to adopt enabling legislation [as detailed previously+ and thats why it seems tangential to know
that it is possible the Khorasan Leader was Killed by U.S. Strike in Syria. The pivotal question is whether

note the First Infantry Division Headquarters was ordered to Iraq and Combat pay was authorized for US
advisors in Iraq, with combat operations on case-by-case basis.

Amazingly, this NY-Times Editorial suggests that the absence of boots-on-the-ground
will doom BHOs effort:

Dismal Lessons From Libya and Yemen

As the United States barrels into a new war against Sunni extremists in Iraq and Syria, it
has been easy to overlook the unraveling of Libya and Yemen. While the Obama
administrations quest to destroy the Islamic State terrorist group is more urgent and
ambitious in scope than its military interventions in Yemen and Libya, the dissolution of
order in both nations offers sobering lessons.

The deadly and chaotic aftermath of Americas military intervention in Libya is rife with
cautionary signals. In 2011, as the Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi was crushing an
uprising, President Obama and allied governments hastily put together a coalition to
intervene.

Much like the latest campaign in Iraq and Syria, the mission in Libya was initially billed as
an urgent humanitarian response.

When the United States and allies started bombing Libya, Obama decided, over the
objection of top legal advisers, that he did not need explicit permission from Congress.
That disregard for Congresss power to declare war partly paved the way for Obama to
launch the new campaign in Syria without authorization.

Qaddafis swift ouster initially made the outcome in Libya look like a foreign policy
victory for the Obama administration. But fighting among rival militias, and a broader
conflict between Islamists and their opponents, have plunged the nation into a new civil
war.

Obama recently told The Times that failing to help Libya form a new state after the fall
of Qaddafi was his biggest foreign policy regret.

Yet the fate of that country has been largely absent from discussions about the new
war.

Instead, Obama, in making the case for carrying out airstrikes against the Islamic State,
drew a dubious parallel to counterterrorism efforts in Yemen, which he billed as
successful.

While dangerous Al Qaeda offshoot organizations in tribal areas of southern Yemen
have been weakened by drone strikes, calling Yemen a success story is absurd. A band of

14

Shiite rebels has recently taken control over much of Sana, the capital, showing how
hard it is for the United States to shore up a weak state.

The administration and most members of Congress agree that destroying the Islamic
State is crucial.

They would do well to dissect the lessons from other American military interventions
that have fallen short of their goals.

American airstrikes can deliver swift and decisive results. But without a feasible
morning-after plan or dependable state institutions to support, shifting the dynamics on
the battlefield often makes things worse. The dismal state of Yemen and Libya are
powerful examples.

It is a spate of articles of this type that explains why The Obama narrative collapsed and why libs wonder
if Obama's foreign policy can be saved: "The problem is that, in seeking to sidestep the pitfalls that
plagued Bush, Obama has inadvertently created his own; yet, unlike Bush, Obama seems steadfast in his
resistance both to learning from his past errors and to managing his team so that future errors are
prevented. It is hard to think of a recent president who has grown so little in office; many of America's
problems have only grown dangerously worse: Its relative influence has declined; the terrorism threat
has evolved and spread; and U.S. alliances are superannuated, ineffective shadows of their former
selves." {This salvage-operation will be impeded by BHO, noting that this pacifist, Obama, Banned Land-
mine Use Against Military Leaders Advice.}

Consider the American component *or lack thereof+ to each of these observations:
Ukraine Prepared to Close Russia Border to Halt 'Intervention'
Estonia Arrested Two Alleged Former KGB Agents
Russian Draft Law Would Allow Seizure of Foreign Property
Hong Kong Students Stormed Government HQ to Demand Full Democracy
Catalonia Set Date for Independence Referendum, Spanish Govt. Declared it
'Unconstitutional'
French Senate Expected to Swing to Right in New Blow for Hollande
[Smokers' Paradise Austria Struggles to Stub Out Habit]

Note how Americas allies have reacted to his entreaties; for example, although the 1
st
Female pilot
for UAE was their team leader in the Syria strikes Monday night, the Family of UAE Female Fighter Pilot
'Disowned' Daughter in Anonymous Statement. Egypt [which looked to Russia for support after BHO
spurned it, last year] Accused Turkish President of Supporting Terrorists and Chaos in Middle East
although, perhaps in response, when Erdoan Failed to Conquer New York City, he explicitly dissed el-
Sisi [not very convincingly]. [Politely unmentioned was the fact that a mavi-marmara-veteran [from the
vessels that embarked from Turkey] was killed-in-syrian-strike.] Daniel Pipes expressed rare optimism
that Arab Upheavals will play-out well for America, but such an outcome will only emerge if BHOs
minions accommodate Daniels Criticisms of the U.S.-led Air Campaign against ISIS [which are identical
to those that were in my op-ed]:

* Keep an eye on the ball: the Iranian nuclear build-up is 1,000 times a greater
threat than ISIS.

15

* Tehran should be left to deal with this problem, which threatens its allies in
Damascus and Baghdad, and potentially even Iran itself.
* Pipes' iron rule of war: Never initiate fighting unless prepared to do what is
needed to win. (I.e., don't in-advance rule-out ground troops.)
* The search for moderate opponents to the Assad regime is chimerical.
* Destroying oil production facilities is almost always a mistake.
* American efforts should be limited to (1) providing assistance to the Kurds and
(2) humanitarian missions.

Regarding these points, it is sad *even if it mirrors some of BHOs advisors+ that the British PM Said Iran
Can Be 'Part of Solution' in Syria when Iran cannot be permitted to keep thousands of active centrifuges
and even Iran's President admitted No Major Progress has been made at Nuke Talks. Nevertheless, BB is
upbeat, even as some in Likud feel Israel must exercise sovereignty over jerusalem now. Obama was
advised [by Fareed Zakaria] to find a way to collaborate with Iran after sealing a nuclear deal [fat
chance]. Also, illustrating what Zionists face is awareness that smooth-talking Michael Scheuer *CIAs
OBL-desk chief in the 90s+ has bashed Israel; I bashed him when he spoke *with Trudy Rubin+ years ago
@ the Philly Free-Library [main branch on the Parkway] by reading contradictory data to him, but Rubin
ran-interference [cutting me off] before he could reply substantively. { He is effectively countered by
Wild Bill.-

On a more global scale, Ted Cruz said Morning in America Awaits if Republicans Don't Abandon
Conservative Values, and Ted Cruz Fed Spiritual Revival at Values Voters Summit; Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas,
reflected on the struggles we see in the world, in America, and in our personal lives and how, by keeping
faith, we should be encouraged brighter days are ahead. [video-of-the-day, c/o Politico] Even the Daily
Beast reported Ted Cruz 'Electrified' Values Voter Summit when, for example, he averred that US was
Built on Christian Values, and Anyone Who Says Different is 'Lying.' [Cruz also Defended Pro-Israel
Speech to Christian Conference.] These comments dovetailed with those of Mark Levin on 2016: GOP
Must Nominate Conservative for First Time Since Ronald Reagan; pending still is whether the Unions will
be able, finally, to unseat Scott Walker [for, it may be recalled, his candidacy for Veep would dovetail
well with Cruz [and/or a reverse-ticket, if it would enhance a sense of GOP loyalty]. Meanwhile,
reminiscent of how Heritage Action operates, Conservative Political Operatives Formed a 'Conservative
Review' Mega-Scorecard for Congress.

In stark contrast, JEB COULD BE HOBBLED BY GOP'S RIGHTWARD DRIFT, Feeling Heat
From Conservative Base On Amnesty and Common Core, even as Jeb Bush Will Try to
Sell Amnesty, Common Core to GOP Primary Voters if He Runs. Standing alongside Thom
Tillis, the Republican Senate candidate in N.C., Mr. Bush outlined his views on these two
of the issues about which he cares most passionately; as Mr. Bush made the case for an
immigration overhaul and the Common Core standards, however, Mr. Tillis gently put
distance between himself and his guest of honor.

Note a parallel set of rebellious conservative forces in England, as CONSERVATIVES ATTACKED

Early voting started last week in Iowa. Absentee ballots made up 31% of the total cast in
2010, and 43% in 2012 ... Democrats honed the strategy, and Republicans are hurrying
to catch up. ... Republicans are outpacing their absentee ballot request pace compared
with the last two elections (14,000 in 2010, then 25,000 in 2012, and now 35,000). ...
Numbers for both Democrats and independents are lower than in 2012. But the GOP
still lags far behind Democrats in requested ballots as of Wednesday: 68,000 to 35,000.
...
"For the first time, the Republicans integrated their email database with their voter file
so they can send targeted emails that complement their door-knocking, phone calls and
mailers ... The GOP's Voter Challenge Facebook app asks people to pledge to vote and
then challenge three friends on Facebook to vote. The GOP uses its database to match
its Facebook friends to voter records. ... Democrats ... target 18-year-olds, older first-
time voters, Iowa transplants, and voters who don't show up unless presidential
candidates are on the ballot. {Also noted: an Appeals Court Ruled Voters Can Register
and Vote Simultaneously in Ohio.}

Regarding the Mid-terms, The Fix claimed five races will decide control of the Senate [and, if so, the GOP
should get 6+ seats]. The GOP seems to be doing well in Arkansas ['I Believe': Tom Cotton Appeals to
First Principles with New Ad Campaign and Fact-checking the Ark. Senate race], Kansas [Pat Roberts: 'I

doing well in Massachusetts [Martha Coakley might blow it again] and Ohio [DEMS FACE SHUTOUT IN
OHIO]. Regarding Sarah, Palin told Values Voters to Tell 'Lamestream Media' We 'Wear Your Scorn with
Pride'; BACKSTABBER NICOLLE WALLACE SAID SHE ADMIRES PALIN FAMILY FOR STICKING TOGETHER.
{Erick Erickson feels that the Clearest Sign Yet the GOP Will Take the Senate was announcement that Eric
Holder to Resign.}

Obama feels Dems can hold Senate, and he will spend the next six weeks campaigning
on his economic record. He may wish to avoid discussing ObamaDontCare, for the
Busted Obamacare Website Cost $2.1 Billion--Twice What White House Claimed and the
LA Times reported Doctor Shortages and Buyer's Remorse Plague California Obamacare;
meanwhile, Health reform's cost has been $73 billion and counting. Nearly five years
after passage, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and a companion electronic health records
(EHR) program have run a startup tab of more than $73 billion, per Bloomberg [libs].
Costs for both healthcare.gov and the broader reform effort are far greater than
anything publicly discussed. They're also substantially greater than what the CBO
initially estimated health reform would cost by this point.

Regarding the media, Politico Staffers Began Circling Wagons to Ensure Hillary's Not Vetted and even the
WaPo claimed, regarding Hillary, that This Middle East thing isnt looking good; also, CNN WON'T LET
A MEDIA REPORTER INTERVIEW PLAGIARIST FAREED ZAKARIA. Finally, Chuck Todds interviews *Part 1]
and PART 2 include [in the latter] the claim that the IRS SCANDAL was triggered by 'INCOMPETENCE,
NOT POLITICS; regarding accusations in the first one, Fox News Responded.

Two examples of how the media are subtly attempting to support BHO have emerged.

First, CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" [during which he has consistently failed to defend
himself against plagiarism charges] on SUN hosted Iranian president Hassan Rouhani
and former Israeli president and former Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres. If this was
a subtle way to portray both sides of an argument, he failed to include a conservative
Israeli who would be more apt to call-out Iranians for deceit. He also hosted Colombian
president Juan Manuel Santos and led an Ebola-focused roundtable with Clinton
Foundation vice chair Chelsea Clinton; medical anthropologist, physician and Harvard
University's Dr. Paul Farmer; and Liberian foreign minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan.
[Note that the Clintons are portrayed as true humanitarians, preparatory for Hillary to
run for POTUS; one wonders if any other charity is involved and could be spotlit.]

Another tidbit about Zakaria was evinced @ the beginning of this show,
when he said Kurds who had fled to Turkey could perhaps be invited to
return to fight in Iraq; he ignored the fact that the Islamic State had
been in the process of Conquering Syrias Turkish Border [as was
captured during episodic hyperlinks in prior Blast e-mails]. Thus,
whether the Kurds wish to fight was truly not at-issue [despite the way
he was framing the issues], for they are ready/willing/able to defend
their freedom.

Second, Politico exhibited its sense of egalitarianism when dissing D.C.s leaders,
suggesting they cant really lead. Specifically dissed was Ted Cruz, who has more than
350,000 Twitter followers; it was also noted that Rand Paul has 1.8 million Facebook
likes and that Barack Obama was reelected president with 66 million votes. Most
traditional notions of leadership comprise another quality: the ability of an individual to
rally others to a common cause, if not the common weal. ... By that standard,
contemporary Washington looks hopeless. Everyone knows what needs to be done, it
seems, but nobody can manage to do it. It's not surprising that national thought leaders
so often look outside the Beltway - to Silicon Valley, celebrity activists, local officials or
non-governmental organizations - for leadership on the most daunting policy questions,
from immigration to climate change to disease. ,Note how everyone is lumped and
none of the members of Congress is split from others if/when efficacy is noted.-

Regarding Tech-purchases, I have two advisors named Michael *my son and a patient-friend]; they
were split on cell-phone carriers *my son likes Sprint/Verizon while my patient likes T-Mobile because of
it's Aggressive Network Modernization Strategy [and a third advisor, a patient who installs these towers,
has consistently advised that the major-carriers be invoked to minimize flips from 4G speed]. All agreed
that Vizios 50 TV provides a superior picture and is priced under $1K; it was noted that the P series
[Super HD] emulates 4K and that the optimal model-# [P502ui-B1] should be invoked @ Amazon [not @
Walmart] because the former has double the refresh-rate *even if it has only ~1 million colors instead
of ~12 million] and, thus, the model with a subclass E should be eschewed.

JAKE TAPPER writes the introduction to the 22
nd
volume of The Complete Peanuts, a
collection of Charles M. Schulz's comic strips from 1993-4; Jake writes that Charlie
Brown is "not a loser. Charlie Brown, when all is said and done, is a winner. Yes, he has
struggles and insecurities, disappointments and dark voices in the middle of the night,
as do we all. And yes, he's a C-student (not unlike some Presidents.) But Charlie Brown
has a good life and a loving family. He has friends. A sister who adores him. A fun dog
who depends upon him. He's the manager of his baseball team. And while he might be
either blissfully unaware or not interested, there are plenty of girls who seem to dig
him.' 20-page free excerpt & Pre-order [$29.99].

Much has occurred during the past week; as per my resolution, an effort will constantly be made to
cut-to-the-chase. Although the prior two Blast e-mails appeared lengthy, the careful reader would
note that they werent as comprehensive as had been their predecessors and that they included color-

the implicit is now explicit. All Philadelphians will have a great week because the Iggles won; I accept

The major item-of-business is to advise review of the crisis facing the Kurds [updated overnight]. Any
question about the emergent nature of this concern can only note that virtually no commentator [R/D/I]
has concluded that BHOs military strategy *developed on-the-fly] has a reasonable chance of success
[acutely, subacutely and/or chronically]; indeed, BHO continues to avoid directly supplying the only
100% pro-American entity in the region [Kurdistan], either in Syria or in Iraq. I have argued this point for
more than a half-decade [both orally and in-writing], based inter alia on concepts first articulated after
the Gulf War [a missed-opportunity]; yet, BHO continues to get kid-glove treatment from the media, for
neither he nor his presser has been asked to articulate an exit strategy *the mantra of anti-war
agitators since 03+. Any claim BHO wasnt made aware of these threats is undermined when it is
recalled that James Clapper, in 2012, testified that Al Qaeda-Like Extremists were Infiltrating Syria; and
any claim BHO wasnt stubbornly ideological throughout is undermined when it is noted that Panetta
unloaded on BHO for pulling US forces out of Iraq. Meanwhile, ISIS is Within a Mile of Baghdad.

Consider, for example, the military situation advanced by BHO [noting The Challenges of
Turning Syria's Rebels Into a Fighting Force; Americas Allies were Almost Bombed in
Syrian Airstrikes; the NEW IRAQI AIR FORCE PILOTS ACCIDENTALLY DROPPED CRUCIAL
SUPPLIES TO ISIS; the RAF FIRED 150,000 ANTI-TANK MISSILE IN IRAQ - AT A PICKUP
TRUCK; and, Wary of Air Strikes, Islamic State Insurgents Changed Tactics]. Then note
the BATTLE BETWEEN ISIS AND KURDS as, Backed by Strikes, Kurds Battle to Defend Key
Syria Town; the Koban Crisis Caused Turkey to Reverse Policy on Syria, but this Syrian
City Faces a Massacre as ISIS Advances. It seems anticlimactic that Iraqi Kurds Retook a
Border Town and Villages from the Islamic State, and it seems tangential that Turkey
Vowed to Protect Suleyman Shah Tomb [in Aleppo, Syria] Against The Islamic State, for
it has destroyed tombs and sacred temples held dear to Christians and Muslims in Iraq
and Syria because it claims the buildings are idolatrous; the Suleyman Shah tomb was
built in Turkish territory in 1921 under a treaty with France when the French ruled Syria.

The global nature of Islamism continues to become manifest in England [British Imam claimed Sharia 'In
All Respects' is 'Much Better' than the West and Columnist Melanie Phillips Attacked 'Sanitising' Islamist
Extremism], Belgium [TRIAL OPENED FOR BELGIAN TERROR SUSPECTS], Canada [Toronto Mural a Jihadi
Battle Cry and Muslim Groups Pressure Canadian Police To Abandon Terms 'Islamic Extremism,' 'Jihad'
When Evaluating Terror], Libya [As with ISIS, Obama Administration 'Underestimates' Threat of Radical
Islam in Libya], Morocco [MOROCCAN SOCCER FANS CHEERED FOR ISIS], and Spain [Nine Detained in
Spain Accused of Running ISIS Cell]; in contrast, the Egyptian Prime Minister said 'Egypt Can Lead' Fight
Against Terrorism. Indeed, a U.S. Professor Blamed Climate Change for the Islamic State, while Maher
Called-Out the Left on Radical Islam.

Into this environment stepped Obama, claiming a 'Savvy' Social Media Strategy Attracts
Youth to Islamic State; to the contrary, Allen West claimed 'Islamist Sympathizer' Obama
is Blind to Radical Ideology of Jihadists. The latter viewpoint is supported by Former
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, who said the Islamic
State could strike the U.S. homeland and contended [along with many others] that
Obama waited too long to address this threat. Postulated have been explanations as to
Why Obama Can't Say His Spies Underestimated The Islamic State; the fallacy of BHOs
view [every-war-must-end] and its dire import have been detailed by Shoshana Bryen.

Evidence that BHOs efforts to transform America to accommodate Islamism emerged when, To Better
Protect Muslims, AG-Holder was Set To Ban 'Religious Profiling'; other examples became apparent [CAIR

23

Asked for Clarification Before NFL Announced Player Shouldn't Have Been Penalized for Muslim Prayer;
a Houston Firefighter was Suspended for Anti-Islam Facebook Posts, and George Clooney's new Father-
in-Law [Ramzi Alamuddin] claimed his Wedding to his Lebanese-born, anti-Israel and human rights
attorney daughter Amal Alamuddin Is 'Very Good News' for both their family as well as for the Middle
East. Also, Yale was to Host a Radical Terror Sheikh Who Advocated Killing of U.S. Soldiers. {Also,
Swastikas were found painted on Jewish frat house in Atlanta.}

Now, compare and contrast these postures with how Obama commented on Ferguson
['Gulf of Mistrust' Between Cops and Residents Has 'Corrosive Effect on America']. No
matter that the St. Louis County prosecutors office is investigating an accusation of
misconduct on the grand jury that is hearing the case against the Ferguson police officer
who shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown; in a twitter message, a friend of a
member of the jury wrote he/she doesnt believe there is enough evidence to warrant
an arrest of the officer, Darren Wilson. Channeling BHOs perspective is the FRONT-
PAGE RACISM AT THE NEW YORK TIMES where, in a news-analysis *"Mostly Black
Cities, Mostly White City Halls"], the Gray Lady presented the persistence of white
political leadership in Southern cities as a pressing political problem, invoking as context
the recent racial tension in Ferguson. {Also, Confederate flag in dorm roils Bryn Mawr
campus.}

Thus, contrasting with Ferguson, the MAINSTREAM MEDIA are STILL CALLING BEHEADING 'WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE,' despite the fact that the Oklahoma Lone Wolf was Clearly an Islamic Extremist who 'Didn't
like white people'; indeed, Deleted Sermons Revealed Close Ties Between Muslim Brotherhood Group
CAIR and Beheader's Mosque and a BREITBART INVESTIGATION FORCED TRANSPARENCY FROM CAIR-
CONNECTED OKLAHOMA CITY MOSQUE. After a 1
ST
DEGREE Murder Charge was Filed In Oklahoma
Beheading, it was claimed that it was 'NOT A RELIGIOUS ACT'; even Morning Joe Hammered FBI for
Labeling OK Beheading 'Workplace Violence.' Thus, noting Alton Nolen's Mother Apologized for Son
['There Are Two Sides to Every Story'] while BHO remained mute, even Rick Perry claimed the White
House Must Address Oklahoma Beheading.

While STEVE WYNN said I'M 'MORE SCARED' ABOUT USA THAN CHINA...'Stunned at
immaturity of administration'...'We elected man as president who had no experience at
anything,' NBCs 'Weekend Update' Consoled Obama on his Low Approval Ratings.

Indeed, as Obama tries to shake-off a Carter *malaise+ aura by claiming Americans are better off, even
if you *idiots+ arent smart enough to feel it, he utters platitudes ['Contradiction in a contradictory
land' and 'That's how we roll'], prompting professionals-in-the-know, such as an Ex-INTEL official, to
conclude that 'Either the president doesn't read the intelligence he's getting or he's bullshi**ing' and
others to spoon-feed his errors [PRESIDENT OBAMA'S FIVE STRATEGIC MISTAKES IN THE WAR AGAINST
ISIS] and to lament his failures [Boosting Turkey as it Backs Terror+as previously discussed *with the
implications of VP Bidens having Apologized (for Telling Truth About Turkey, Saudi and the Islamic
State) superimposed upon how BHO alienated Erdoan.

Note this panoply of conscious errorsand their consequences. While the Majority
backs ground troops to battle ISIS if necessary [which BHO ignores], it seems the US
Spent Nearly $1 Billion on Anti-ISIS Military Effort [which Dems ignore]; for this reason,
plus others, Mark Levin feels an Investigation is needed to discern 'What Obama Knew
and When Did He Know It?' about the Islamic State [noting, for example, that the ISIS 'JV

24

Team' Leader Designated 3
rd
Most Wanted Terrorist in 2011]. Meanwhile, a Fmr FBI
Official said Obama is Putting Political Correctness Over Safety and he was blasted for
'Trying to Pass the Buck' after having 'Underestimated' ISIS; an intriguing idea has been
promoted by Bill O'Reilly [and my son, and Kissinger]but ignored by BHOthat
America could assemble a mercenary army [funded by others].

It matters that Obama's Defense Cuts Would Eliminate Missiles Used Against ISIS [particularly noting
that Navy sailors harbor widespread distrust of senior leadership and Complain of excessive political
correctness] and it surely matters that Obama Skipped More Than Half His Daily Intel Briefs [which the
State Dept Spokeswoman Downplayed because 'He Receives Those Whenever He Can']. Through it all,
his approach is to Claim ignorance, blame subordinates, and hope people forget [such as when Obama
Blamed Intelligence Community for His Own Military Failures]; in fact, illustrating profound efforts to
manipulate, Andrew McCarthy claimed the 'Khorasan Group Does Not Exist,' for Obama is Trying to
Deceive About War on Terror and a White House Adviser Misidentified Khorasan Leader as 'ISIL' Leader.

TO KEEP TROOPS IN COUNTRY PAST 2014. Yet, Obama's UN Speech Enabled Iran's
Propaganda; Iran's "Hanging Machine" was to Execute Reyhaneh Jabbari, but Iran
Postponed the Execution of this woman who Killed an Attempted Rapist. {A Coalition Is
Working Furiously Behind The Scenes To Support Obama's Iran Talks and there was just
an EXPLOSION AT AN IRAN NUKE SITE.}

After Netanyahu Faced- Off With Obama on the need to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons,
White House sharply criticized new Israeli construction; although Netanyahu touted Obama relationship
[per POLITICO], BB expressed confusion as to why Obama Condemned Israel after their meeting [video
that was omitted from the broadcast version of CBSs interview]. Meanwhile, as Abbas bashed Israel to
boost self [because multiple polls show his Fatah-movement is less popular than is Hamas], Arabs
Praised Israel for Treatment of Palestinian Workers. Yet, 80 percent of Palestinians in Judea/Samaria
support the resumption of rocket fire into Israel if Israel does not allow unfettered access to Gaza,
according to a new poll published by the Palestinian Institute for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR).
And, illustrating why I cancelled my subscription, the NYT editorialized that Israelis are Racist Because
They Didn't List Muhammad as Top Baby Name.

Other foreign-affairs remain unsettled; even the Vatican Representative Decried Russia's
'Undeclared War' on Ukraine. In South America Kirchner claimed USA Behind Plot to
Assassinate her and VENEZUELA Took OVER PLANTS LEFT BY U.S. FIRM CLOROX.
Illustrating turbulence in Europe, a Catalan Independence Vote is to go Ahead Despite
Constitutional Court Ruling.

What must be emphasized is that the midterms appear increasingly to portend a tsunami, but what also
must be explored URGENTLY is the need to match the Dems regarding database management [and to
expose deceit, such as when O'KEEFES latest Video caught 'Turn Texas Blue' Group Covering-Up 'Illegal'
Voter Registration]. Indeed, every possible opportunity has been used for YEARS to push this point,
particularly after Orca failed in November of 12 *after no one had conducted a test-run, believe it or
not]. In any case, notwithstanding its having condemned the Citizens-United SCOTUS-decision, DEMS
LEAN HEAVILY ON PACS. Good news for the GOP emerged last week, also, when the Supreme Court
Allowed the Ohio Voter Fraud Prevention Law to Take Effect; framing the challenge was RNC Chairman
Reince Priebus, who exclaimed, 'We're in a Battle for Freedom in This Country.' {NYT Risen claimed

25

'Obama hates the press' and Journalists must fight or become irrelevant; GALLUP reported Voter
opposition to President at 16-year high.}

Polls Point to a GOP Senate Majority, and 9 Senate Races That Could Tip the Balance of
Power were compiled; a great-way to keep up-to-date is to consult real clear politics as
GOP Begins Breakout From Stalemate. Regarding gubernatorial races, Texas Dems
Search for Silver Lining as Davis Campaign Sputters On and Chris Christie 'Disturbed' By
Obamas Lack of ISIS Accountability; regarding foreign affairs, Liberal doves suddenly run
as war hawks. Individual races have been the subject of scrutiny in Arkansas [Cotton
Campaign Ad Spotlights Pryor's Vote for Obamacare and Cotton Will Not Sign Any
Pledges, Including the FAIR Immigration Pledge], Colorado [Colorado Senate: Gardner
(R) 48%, Udall (D) 47%], Iowa [Star Is Born?: Great Campaigner' Joni Ernst on Verge of
Huge Upset in Iowa and Iowa Senate clash over immigration, amnesty in first debate],
Kansas [Pat Roberts Attacked 'Independent' Greg Orman as Pro-Amnesty Liberal],
Louisiana [Rob Maness: I Oppose All Forms of Amnesty Unlike Mary Landrieu & Bill
Cassidy and Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu Applauds Common Core Standards and
Senator Mary Landrieu Claimed Pro-Gun Stance Despite Voting Record], New Hampshire
[NH Dem ducks debating Scott Brown and N.H. Candidates Sparred over Women's Issues
and Business Concerns], North Carolina [Tillis Slams Hagan For Absence on The ISIS
Threat and Thom Tillis Slammed Obama, Hagan: 'If You Can't Secure The White House,
How Can You Secure America?'], and South Carolina [Graham Suggested Obama Just
Not 'Paying Any Attention' with Missed ISIS Intel Claim].

Rasmussen reports polling is almost 100% encouraging regarding these Midterms: overall [Americans
Dont Think Incumbents Deserve Reelection; Voters See A More Divided Nation; GOPers More
Enthusiastic to Vote; and 83% Think Americans Are Not Informed Voters], regarding big-government
[37% of Voters Fear the Federal Government; Voters Still Vote No on Obamacare; Obamacare has a
Role in the National Election; 41% Are Fiscal Conservatives], and regarding social-issues [49% Favor
Religious Exemption from Contraceptive Mandate while 39% Oppose; 44% Favor Ban on Abortion After
20 Weeks while 41% Oppose; 48% Are Pro-Choice, 44% Pro-Life; 49% Favor Religious Exemption from
Contraceptive Mandate, 39% Oppose]. {Amplifying discontent are FIVE REASONS AMERICANS CANT

A new website [conservativereview.com] has been formed by Conservative-Political-
Operatives that provides a Mega-Scorecard Rating Congress-People; I mentioned this
during last weeks Sentinel-call sponsored by the Heritage Foundation *todays is @ 5:30
a.m. @ Dial-in number: 1-800-757-3718], and the focus of the former is on background-
votes [such as @ the committee-level] rather than merely formal-votes. It may be that
this new system will also reflect meaningful subtleties, but RedState just announced
that, from now on, reference to legislators will append the Heritage-assessment.

Regarding POTUS-16, the nascent campaigns continue raging; among Dems, James Carville claimed
Hillary Clinton Has the 'Perfect Message' for 2016. Among those vying in the GOP, RAND [advocated
BLOCKING PRO-EXEC AMNESTY AG NOMINEES and allegedly sought revenge, as father RON PAUL
claimed SECESSION INEVITABLE], Paul Ryan [We Have Been Getting Briefings of ISIS 'for a Couple of
Years' and Paul Ryan Says He Won't Run for President if Romney Does], Romney [SECOND TIME MAY BE
CHARM FOR MITT ROMNEY, 2016 PRESIDENTIAL HOPES], and Rick Perry [I've Been Preparing to Run for
President for the Past 22 Months]. Reminiscences were provided by CARTER [I WOULD HAVE DEFEATED

26

REAGAN IF I HAD BEEN MORE 'MANLY'] and Romney ['Is Going to Get in' 2016 Presidential Race]. Finally,
Sestak [gearing up to oppose Toomey] piled-on, claiming Obama was wrong to pass the buck on ISIS
[this, despite his being a pacifist, as per a lecture he delivered @ Rosemont a few years ago, in which
every sentence was faulty]. Meanwhile, Cruz is skyrocketing, and he is rapidly distinguishing himself
from others [such as Santorum, who tried to diss him last week for having advocated for Israel @ the
conference focused on Christian prosecution, claiming the Judeo-Christian ethic is linked]; meanwhile,
Huckabee and Cruz Blasted Hillary at Values Voter Summit.

On the Culture-War front, PALIN solders-along, claiming OBAMA BETRAYED US BY
PRAISING RADICAL CLERIC WHOSE ORG. WANTS AMERICAN SOLDIERS DEAD, advising
'Don't Let em Getcha Down' [providing 11 Values-Based Zingers From Sarah Palin], and
noting that a CNN Media Reporter Shamed Colleagues for Not Giving Sarah Palin Benefit
of Doubt.

That the Supreme Court cleared way for gay marriage simplifies matters
for the GOP, noting a recent essay that suggests "The [Catholic]
Church's Gay Obsession" will be difficult to maintain: "The rules of this
particular club prohibit divorce, yet the pews of many of the Catholic
churches I've visited are populous with worshipers on their second and
even third marriages. ... The rules prohibit artificial birth control, and
yet most of the Catholic families I know have no more than three
children ... [D]uring a period when the legalization of gay marriage has
spread rapidly in this country, from just six states in 2011 to more than
three times that number today, Catholic officials here have elected to
focus on this one issue and on a given group of people: gays and
lesbians. ... It's ... self-defeating, because it's souring many American
Catholics, a majority of whom approve of same-sex marriage."

The Dems keep other social-issues boiling [Obamacare Funds the Nation's Largest
Abortion Provider and FCC Considering Whether to Ban TV Stations from Saying
Redskins]; reflecting, perhaps, self-censorship despite its representing cinematic history,
'MOST' STUDENTS IN GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY FILM CLASS HAVEN'T SEEN 'GONE
WITH THE WIND.'

Regarding Illegals, Security Leaders claimed Immigration and Terrorism are Intricately Linked, for the US
Often Has 'Zero Capability' of Determining if Legal Immigrants Are National Security Threat; an
Immigration Expert [along with Rush] claimed Obama Admin Responsible for Letting Ebola Patient into
U.S. as MSNBCs Chris Matthews deadpanned against BHO regarding Ebola ['Obama Said It Was Unlikely.
It Has Happened. It's Here'] and others explored How the world's health organizations failed to stop the
Ebola disaster. In any case, FEDS PLACED ILLEGALS IN EVERY STATE, stressing the education-system
[Schools Nationwide Scramble to Prepare for Illegal Immigrants Who Crossed Border; Vitter: Educating
Unaccompanied Illegal Immigrant Minors to Cost Lousiana Nearly $7 Million; Miami-Dade
Superintendent: $3.4 Million Grant from Feds to Absorb Illegals Not Nearly Enough]. Facilitators of this
invasion abound; they include the Mexican Consulate [which issued ID cards to Nationals living in
Wisconsin; Jerry Brown [who Gave Student Loans to Illegals]; and the DUNKIN' DONUTS CEO [who
claimed AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS WILL 'STIMULATE THE ECONOMY']. Meanwhile, the Feds Granted
Refugee Status to Central American Children, and the GOV'T FUNDS LAWYERS FOR ALIENS.


27

[Perhaps not so] surprisingly, Latinos Support Strong Border Security, a posture that,
according to CORNYN will be consistent with the REPUBLICAN IMMIGRATION REFORM
[which WOULD BE PIECEMEAL and FOCUS ON SECURITY FIRST]. On the one hand, Mitch
McConnell [among others] claimed the Holder Replacement Must Oppose Obama's
Planned Executive Amnesty; on the other hand, in the Unaired Portion of ABC News
Interview, Boehner Said Obama Would Poison the Well For Immigration Reform with
Executive Orders.

The Media are also tilting towards Conservatism, as evidenced by FOX-NEWS having Nabbed a
Historic Ratings Victory because, during the past quarter, FNC had the most-watched primetime
across the cable dial, while MSNBC slid below CNN; indeed, FOX NEWS SLAUGHTERED CNN and
MSNBC as MSNBC Sank to a 7-Year Low [with Maddow and Hayes Posting the Worst Ever Demo]
and CNN's Blitzer and Banfield Posting Double-digit Demo Drops. ['FORENSIC FILES' RERUNS
BEAT ANDREA MITCHELL, JOY REID, FARROW, AND SCARBOROUGH.] Also, MUIR scored a DEMO
TRIUMPH, as ABCNEWS PASSED NBC for the FIRST TIME IN 7 YEARS; this was due, according to
Lena Dunham, to the fact that Stephanopoulos is 'Sexual Icon.'

CNN Cleared CNN's Fareed Zakaria of Plagiarizing On CNN, as NEWSWEEK ADDED
PLAGIARISM WARNING TO ALL FAREED ZAKARIA ARTICLES; also, New Evidence emerged
in Plagiarism Case Against Liberal Reagan Historian Rick Perlstein.

FNCs Howard Kurtz concluded the Media helped oust the Secret Service director noting, for example,
how Darrell Issa wondered aloud why no one had Locked The Front Doors Of The White House; during
the House Oversight Hearing on White House security, [now-resigned] Secret Service Director Julia
Pierson had difficulty explaining why a housekeeper discovered evidence that shots had hit the White
House while Secret Service agents failed to discover it, ultimately claiming 'It's Difficult to See at Night.'
{Also, liberal Jorge Ramos told a CNN Media Reporter that it Makes No Sense to Hide Liberal Biases and
the NYT Cut 100 Jobs From Newsroom, supposedly due to its on-line [pay-wall] failures.}

In my spare-time, I was advised to check-out Season #4 of "Homeland," which
premiered on Showtime at 9 p.m. on Sunday; the NYT review by Alessandra Stanley
concluded it has adopted "a new and better course, namely back to where it started.
This sophisticated espionage thriller is once again woven around the jagged
complexities of its heroine, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), a bipolar C.I.A. officer whose
chief asset is that she is so maladjusted and blindly determined that she detects dangers
that nobody else can see. ... [T]he show's writers [have] put Carrie back in the field,
running intelligence operations in Kabul and Islamabad, alert and in command, but also
still heeding some offbeat, jangly jazz racing through her head and heart. Her
subordinates call her the Drone Queen." {2-min. trailer} The key-concern is whether any
issues are explored vs. whether it toes the lib-line eschewing the existence of Islamism.

Regarding gun-laws, HUFF-PO TWISTED STUDIES TO CLAIM ARMED RESISTANCE DOESN'T HELP IN
SHOOTINGS, as PIERS MORGAN WAS SET TO BRING CONTROVERSIAL VIEWS ON GUN CONTROL TO A
NEW AMERICAN [non-video] AUDIENCE. Again supporting 2
nd
Amendment rights were data [43 Shot and
5 Killed in Chicago as Weekend Temperatures Hit Summer Highs] vs. absurdity [Gabby Giffords said
Being Victim of Gun Violence Means 'Opportunity']; a further encroachment occurred in California
[which Allows Family Members to Remove Relatives Guns for Safety], constituting 'TEMPORARY'

28

FIREARM CONFISCATION. In a related matter, 6 Years of AG-Holder have been depicted in a Timeline, as
there will be No More Delay for his [and Obama's] Fast and Furious Reckoning.

Regarding Education, Bill Gates, a major financial backer of the standards, Confirmed
Everybody's Worst Fears About Common Core, that the goal is to undermine local
decision-making on school issues while promoting a national curriculum. In Colorado,
More High Schools Closed as Union-Provoked Teachers Joined 'Sickouts' and the
Colorado Teachers' Union President Thanked the NEA for Help with 'Hostile School
Boards'; indeed, even the COLLEGE BOARD APPLAUDED 'COURAGEOUS' STUDENT
PROTESTERS IN COLORADO.

In PA, The Second Gubernatorial Debate entailed a tustle over education and state spending; Sparks few
and the Porn emails case emerged; Corbett accused Wolf of cheap shot and Reactions were mixed.
McNickle advised Corbett to Make Wolf run through the weeds and a Sarcastic Corbett ad hammered
Wolf on taxes; recall that Kane's verdict on Corbett's Sandusky investigation was that there was no
political influence, but lousy investigating, as a JUDGE ORDERED the NCAA BACK INTO THE RING IN
FIGHT OVER PENN STATE CONSENT DECREE. Finally, Tom Wolf admitted that two teachers making a
combined income over $90,000 are above middle class. {GOP expanded its voter registration edge in
midstate.}

Regarding Porn-Gate, AG-KANE said the REQUEST REGARDING JUDGES' INVOLVEMENT
IN SCANDAL WILL BE HONORED; again, her behavior evolved [Kane to share explicit e-
mails with Corbett; AG Kane on releasing names; Kane playing politics with selected
release of racy emails; CASTILLE: PORN-VIEWING JUDGES MUST 'PAY THE PIPER'] as
consequences were experienced [Supreme Court Justice McCaffery sent porn-y emails
from private computer; ENVIRONMENTAL SEC. ABRUZZO RESIGNED IN FACE OF PORN
EMAIL SCANDAL].

2 more PA ironworkers plead in union intimidation case

Two defendants in Turnpike corruption case [Miller, a former executive for a turnpike
vendor of Harrisburg, and Suzenski, a business consultant to another vendor of
Pottstown] had been charged with restricted activities and sought a deal that the Judge
OKed; Miller was charged with bid-rigging and conspiracy.

A Major fire destroyed 3 buildings at Flight 93 memorial, but there was No indication of arson.

The major concern conveyed in the prior Blast e-mail was the urgent need to agitate ASAP to help the
Kurds [noting, for example, that Erdoan said, For us, ISIL and the (Kurdish) PKK are the same+;
overnight, significant recognition of the need solely to help the Kurds [rather than the FSA] has been
noted on FNC [finally!] and other potential initiatives have been discussed with Sherkoh. Thus, in many
respects all other considerations pale in comparison to the importance of saving 60K lives; nevertheless,
they are provided with topic-headings, starting with a list of additional sites that are worth exploring.

Opener

It is desirable to recordbrieflythe outcome of a chats with intelligent-libs. An e-mail
exchange regarding ObamaDontCare *plus info about Rush and Call-Notes c/o the
Heritage Foundation] is appended, and it was noted by a friend that the way to link
BHOs foreign/domestic failures is to note the fact that his not having OKed the
Keystone-XL has hampered the ability to free Europe from being subject to Putins
energy-based extortion. From that chat *during Yom Kippurs break-the-fast repast, it
was noted that there have been Islamic reformations *comparable to those of Judaism
and Christianity]; indeed, they were the norm until the Muslim Brotherhood started-up
in Egypt, almost a century ago. Thus, hope springs eternal regarding both the ability to
enlighten the electorate regarding the failings of modern-liberalism *not classic open-
mindedness+, and hope springs eternal that Islamisms defeat could then invoke
previously-established moderate Muslim models. ,In the future, will discuss the four
major branches of the GOP and discuss my comfort-level with each of them.}

An article uploaded overnight dovetails with that which had been disseminated yesterday, explaining
why Turkey has not pitched-in to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis:
Why Turkey and the Administration have Doomed the Kurds in Koban
Who Does Turkey Support?
Turkey Voted to Join Alliance against ISIS, But Sits Uneasily With New Kurdish Allies
Turkish PM: Turkey Will Send Ground Troops to Syria Only if US Targets Assad
Erdogan Said Koban 'About to Fall' to Jihadists and advocated ground operation.
There remains a lot of territory that must be retaken, but ground-troops from other Arab countries have
yet to materialize:
In Squalid Exile, Iraqi Yazidis Hope for Return
A ratcheting-up of American involvement has transpired:
Apache Helicopter Used Against Islamic State Targets
Yet, the Iraqis are also disorganized, explaining advances on Baghdad:
ISIS Using Ammo United States to Iraqi Security Forces [plus from Russia/China]
Someday, the libs will recognize that this has been a global conflagration:
Pakistan's Taliban to Islamic State: 'We Are with You'
Pakistan Taliban Say Back All Syria Militants, Not Just Islamic State
ISIS Influence Spread in Asia, as Pakistan Taliban Pledged Support
Malaysia Vows FBI Cooperation to Fight ISIS Recruitment in Nation
Imam of Radical Mosque Said Muslims Shouldn't Criticize Islamic State
Boko Haram Destroyed 185 Churches and Beheaded Seven People in Borno
Boko Haram Beheaded Seven Civilians in Nigeria
Rationalizations for BHOs inaction continue to fail, as he acts contrary to USA-interests:
White House Sent 'Thank You' to Beheader's Oklahoma Mosque Congregation
Obama Praised Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on Killing of U.S. Soldiers
Crunch-time also approaches regarding Iran, with no signals suggesting acquiescence:
The Dangers of Working with Iran to Defeat ISIS
Iran's Supreme Leader Condemned 'American Islam'
The GOPand othersare stymied, for there can be only one Commander-in-Chief:
Obama ruled-out ground troops ahead of key House vote on ISIS
GOP Needs to Fill Vacuum Created By Obama's National Security Lapses
Ted Cruz laid out the case for bringing the Nameless Non-War before Congress
Some are suggesting that BHO is decompensating, as his paradigms unravel:
Piers Morgan Slams Obama: 'What The Hell Is He Doing?'
OBAMA BLASTED FOR 'SHAMELESS, REPREHENSIBLE BUCK-PASSING' BY... PIERS
MORGAN?
The U.S. military campaign against Islamic militants in Syria is being designed to allow
Obama to exert a high degree of personal control over the campaign, going so far as to
require that the military obtain presidential sign-off for any strike in Syrian territory; this
recalls a comparable obsession famously exhibited by LBJ during the Vietnam War.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest defended Vice President Joe Biden for a series of
gaffes, more recently his comments about Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE for suggesting that
they helped support terrorist factions in Syria.
UAE Demanded 'Clarification' of Biden's Comments that US Allies Sent Aid to Extremists
Joe Biden Told Harvard Students China a Part of North America
THE MEDIA PRAISED BIDEN'S FOREIGN POLICY CREDENTIALS IN 2008 [consistently wrong]

Joe Biden: Being Vice President Can Be a 'Bitch'
Joe Biden was forced to apologize for using the anti-Semitic slur Shylock to describe what he
considered to be shady bankers
Biden to Attend L.A. Fundraisers during Rush Hour
Biden blunders raise new questions
Domestically, security measures must be enhanced:
FBI warned of al-Qaeda attack in USA
PROFILE to stop the next U.S. beheading
Concomitant with the rise of the Islamic State is enhanced anti-Semitism:
Jewish Fraternity at Emory University Defaced with Swastikas
MERKEL PLEDGES ARMED GUARDS TO PROTECT SYNAGOGUES OVER JEWISH HOLIDAY SEASON
Manifestations thereof are masked as anti-Zionism *and BDS+, particularly in Europe:
Sweden Becomes First European Union Nation to Recognize Palestinian Statehood
Swedish Leftist Politician Said Mossad Trained Islamic State, Later Apologized
Sweden stands firm on Palestine, but recognition 'not imminent'
Vandals Cover Pro-Life Display with Swastikas
Of far greater import is the post-Gaza autopsy regarding, in particular, the tunnels:
Israeli Intelligence Failures during Yom Kippur War Revisited
Of even greater import is JINSAs glum review of the recent interaction between BHO/BB:
Hyperbole and Reality in Assessing the State of the U.S.-Israeli Partnership

The politics surrounding the Ebola Virus infestation relate to inability to trust BHOs reassurances:
Donald Trump, Chuck Todd Agree: No Trust of Feds' Handling Ebola Because of Obama
Admin Scandals
AP Poll: Confidence in Government Collapses
Poll: Only 20% Have 'Great Deal' of Confidence in Feds to Prevent Ebola Outbreak
Andrea Mitchell: 'You Cannot Trust' West Africans to Honestly Answer Ebola
Questionnaire before Flying to US [rationalization, subtly shifting responsibility]
Surgeon General Still Silent on Ebola [inexplicably]
Ponder Obamas confident -- and erroneous -- assurance that Ebola was unlikely to
reach America, and that if it did, Americas hospitals and doctors were prepared to
diagnose and respond immediately [it took less than a fortnight]
U.S. Ebola Patient Had Layover in Dulles, but CDC Didn't Inform Other Passengers
Nurses Union Contradicted CDC Director's Claim That Hospitals Are Well Prepared for
Ebola
Immigration Expert: Dallas Ebola Patient 'Should Not Have Gotten a Visa'

33

Executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons: 'Restricted
Entry' Necessary to Stop Spread of Ebola *Im a member; it may be recalled that they
successfully acquire Hillarys data two decades ago, helping to kill that effort.+
Pres. of Private Practice Drs: U.S. Relying on Untrained Third World to Prevent Mass
Deaths Here [This is a comparable organization, in terms of focus and advocacy.]
Obama Administration Dumps Quarantine Rules [It seems more is coming, on the fly.]
CDC did Not Remove Sweat-Stained Sheets of Ebola Patient, Still with Quarantined
Family
The Ebola dust-up in Dallas enhanced distrust of the states health emissaries; one
theorist suggested they reflexively, if not intentionally, conspire to retain their policy
mission (open borders always) and to increase their sphere of influence.

This segues into concerns regarding Illegals, which seem to be congealing:
Political Class Failing Immigrants by Not Teaching Patriotism and Assimilation
62 Million People in US Now Speak Language Other Than English at Home
Obama Urged Latinos to Help Reverse Public Opposition to Amnesty [procrastinating]
Judicial Watch Sued Obama Administration for Criminal Immigrant Release Docs
Luis Gutierrez: We Will Leave No Illegal Behind in Pursuit of Amnesty
Illegal Alien Supported by Church Sanctuary Program Has Criminal Past
71%, Including Majority of Dems, Say No Government Benefits for Illegal Newcomers
Boehner Ripped 'Executive Amnesty'
GOP Establishment Operative Ana Navarro: Amnesty More Likely if GOP Controls Senate

This segues into why Karl Rove, trying to Help a Bush Restoration [plus the associated GOP-
Establishment], Left Illegal Immigration out of his GOP Senate Victory Plan; otherwise, mid-term trends
are continuing to be problematic in Kansas [Orman Continues to Lead Roberts in Kansas Senate Race
and Greg Orman Plays It Both Ways in Kansas] and Minnesota [Mike McFadden Wants to Expose Al
Franken's Liberal Record], uncertain in Colorado [Cory Gardner Runs Left On Immigration] and North
Carolina [Thom Tillis Slammed Kay Hagan on Big Pharma Donations Blocking Her Support of OTC
Contraceptives and Tillis will Vote Against Holder Replacement Who Doesn't Publicly Reject Obama's
Planned Executive Amnesty and Tillis Ad Ties Hagan to Obama Foreign Policy: 'We Can't Let Our Kids Die
in Vain'], and healthy in Georgia [Perdue Injects Business Sense Into Georgia Senate Debate], Kentucky
[The Alison Grimes campaign may now start imploding and Dems Double-Down on Ad Spending for
Grimes While Ground Game Lags] and in Alaska [Marco Rubio Praises Dan Sullivan's Foreign Policy
Credentials and Does Dan Sullivan Want Sarah Palin's Endorsement?] and Louisiana [New Poll Shows
Cassidy With Slight Lead Over Landrieu in Louisiana and Cassidy Over Landrieu By 6 In Louisiana] and
Arkansas [Pryor Touted Commitment to 'Smaller' Gov't, as Cotton Camp Highlights Pryor's Big Gov't
Record] and Mississippi [Cochran's Democrat Opponent Travis Childers Takes Hardcore Anti-Amnesty
Pledge]. Overall, the Clintons are trying to save Dems from Obama.

Braley signed anti-Israel Letter In 2010 - Iowa Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley, running for
Senate against GOP state senator Joni Ernst, joined some of the most liberal members of
the House Dem caucus to urge Obama to force Israel to lift the Gaza blockade.

Regarding POTUS-16, TED CRUZ WENT TO SOUTH CAROLINA and Cruz Defended Pro-
Israel Speech to Christian Conference; a Petition Urging Ted Cruz to Lead Republicans to
2014 Election Victory *not mentioning 16+ was circulated on the internet via
ConservativeHQ.com of which Richard A. Viguerie is the Chairman]. Lindsey Graham

34

[correctly] feels Marco Rubio is Too 'Afraid of the Right' to Back in 2016 and Rand Paul
feels Common Core supporters [such as Jeb] will not be nominated for SCOTUS-16 [vide
infra]; among the Dems, BUFFETT IS BETTING ON HILLARY.

Regarding Congress, Harry Reids Net Favorability Rating is the 'Worst of His Career' and
'Morning Joe' Mocked 'Sad,' 'Pathetic' Harry Reid for His Koch Brothers Hypocrisy. John
Boehner 'Could Not Be Closer' to Mitch McConnell, but he hasnt Spoken to Ted Cruz
Since He's been Elected [almost two years ago]; Gallup reports 40% of the GOP View
John Boehner unfavorably [undoubtedly due to his pro-Amnesty views]. Whereas Reid
persists, Boehner seems to be trying to attack these concerns [vide supra et infra].

Regarding the Culture-Wars, Gay-Marriage is probably the law-of-the-land, although
some catch-up ball remains *Gay Men Only 2% of U.S. Population, 52 Percent of HIV
Cases] and Ted Cruz is to Introduce Constitutional Amendment Defending Traditional
Marriage *as a states-rights issue]; building bridges, Boehner Supported Gay Candidate
and Boehner raked in cash for openly gay Republican.

Regarding the Economy, if this is the key voting-criterion *stupid!+, then BHO seems
to have additional problems, for Job-losses enhance Obamas Political Woes [and it
hardly resonates that Robots will Replace 1 in 3 Jobs by 2025]; the implications extend
to the issue of Illegals [vide infra] for there is a Shortage of Skilled Medical Coders While
Obama Seeks to Welcome Unskilled Illegals. Thus, he cant claim robustly that the
Economy Added 248K Jobs, when 315K Left the Labor Force; this explains why 75% of
Americans Don't Trust Obama on Economy.

Regarding [Reverse-]Racism, Ferguson Protesters Disrupted the St. Louis Symphony
Orchestra Concert [in a fashion mirroring how Saul Alinsky terrorized Kodak] and,
showing their true colors, Palestinian Groups Plan 'Weekend of Resistance' in Ferguson.

Regarding Tobacco, it remains vital to promote Bill Godshalls decades-old effort to
achieve Tobacco Harm Reduction, as an E-cig Manufacturer Won the Right to Challenge
Brussels in EU Courts and the World Health Organization coveted Bloombergs Cigarette
Tax Money.

Regarding Common-Core, expressions of local outrage continue [More Than 800
Turned-Out for Common Core Town Hall in Louisiana and Parents Voiced Common Core
Frustrations in New Documentary]; many focus on the fact that Developers of the
Common Core Standards arent Being Questioned about methodology and validation.
Regarding events in Colorado, E-mails Revealed Teachers' Union Rep Organized
Colorado 'Sickouts'; it was alleged [along with other concerns] that the College Boards
AP U.S. History Ignored Valor and Sacrifice of Americas Military and, in reaction to
expression of these protests, the College Board Threatened to Drop Jefferson County,
Colorado School District from AP US History [supporting student protesters] if the school
board proceeded with a review of the APUSH framework.

Regarding the Media, the NEW YORK TIMES SLASHED 7.5% OF STAFF because its
DIGITAL PLATFORMS FAILED, and CNN axed 300 jobs, allegedly having Targeted age-55+.


35

The PA HOUSE PASSED 2 GUN-RELATED BILLS: [1]discourage local governments from imposing illegal
gun restrictions by giving anyone whose rights are violated by such laws the ability to sue and recover
legal fees, as well as reimbursement for any lost income; [2]require the state police to submit mental
health data within 90 days to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, run by the federal
government; and [3]give prosecutors discretion to seek a two-year minimum sentence for people
convicted of carrying a firearm they don't own or those who don't have a license or another legal right
to carry it within the city limits.

Regarding Guns, armed-citizens appear to be protecting themselves and others [Son
Shot and Killed Home Invader while Mom Cooked Breakfast and TEXAN AT BAR
PROTECTED WAITRESS, SELF, BY SHOOTING, KILLING TWO ARMED ROBBERS], while
Dem-controlled cities experience rampant violence [Despite Cold, 3 Dead 31 Wounded
in Chicago over Weekend and More Gun Control, More Crime In LA]; this may explain
why even Mark Kelly admitted Gun Control Is 'Never Going to Stop' All Gun Violence and
a respected newsman [JAKE TAPPER] concluded that NO GUN LAWS OFFERED SINCE
SANDY HOOK WOULD HAVE PREVENTED SHOOTING. As usual, in such situations, MSNBC
acted-out [the NRA Made 'the Ebola Crisis Worse'].

The fact that Highmark hiked seniors' rates up to 110% in PA was noted nationally on Drudge
[Pennsylvania Seniors Express 'Shock' over Premium Jumps Due to Obamacare]; State officials claim this
Highmark Medicare plan breaks agreement with UPMC. Also, as anticipated, an appellate court ruled
ObamaDontCare RULE IS ABUSE OF DISCRETION....SENIORS BEAR BRUNT OF EPA REGS, setting-up
another mechanism by which the entire artifice can be TNTed, as people continue to discover its
failures [e.g., Covered California Admits to 'Narrow Networks' of Doctors and Hospitals].
Producer of anti-Obamacare movie 'SICK AND SICKER' hit with IRS audit

The Medical marijuana bill hit a brick wall in PA House, and is unlikely to get a vote this
year; John Hickenlooper confessed that, in Colorado, Legalizing Marijuana in Colorado
Was 'Reckless' as, again, Cannabis may be 'As Addictive As Heroin.' Regarding the
appearance yesterday on F&F by Rep. Mike Vereb, Abu-Jamal's speech prompted his
filing of a PA bill to mandate judicial review of such events in the future. Chronically, the
pension issue continues to rage both in Harrisburg and Elsewhere.

Sorry for recycling so quickly, but enhanced clarity has emerged. First, know that Dick Morriss wife
Eileen McGann has started a website that will track the trials/travails of Hillary; for example, it details
Ten Clues That Hillary Clinton Is Definitely Running For President. Second, know that the NCAA seeks to
have law over Penn State fine tossed. Third, know that former CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl
Attkisson [who will be in Philly on 11/13/2014] blasted the mainstream media for being President
Barack Obama's lap dogs; for example, she pitched a story two years ago that terrorists were becoming
adept at using social media, but her bosses weren't interested. Fourth, watch the 40-minute video of the
interview of Leon Panetta by Bill OReilly [Part I, Part II, Part III]; the inevitable conclusion that appeared
to be shared was that BHO isnt up to the task to lead America, and that Panetta hopes he is
beginning to improve.

Fifth, know that Kurds protested across Europe, and one wonders if a comparable effort could be
initiated ASAP in D.C. Fourth, know that the military leader of the Free Syrian Army [being supported
(financed, armed and trained) by the US and Saudi Arabia] accused Kurds of being terrorists instead of
viewing the Islamic State as terrorists. Therefore, not only is BHO withholding vital support to people
who are imminently to be slaughtered, but he is also placing America behind opponents of the only
pro-American fighting-force in the region.



Sherkoh provides translation of his quotation:


38

PYD/YPG are terrorists; we work only with honorable Kurds. In our eyes, we have three
types of Kurds: 1)Israel and Zionist Kurds; 2)PKK/YPG terrorists, and 3)Kurds who
are first Muslim and Second Syrian who deserve no rights, period.

Sherkoh provides this commentary:

Thus, General Abdulellah Albashir, in charge of FSA, accused the Kurdish PYD of being
terrorists; he said he will work only with those whom he considers to be honorable
Kurds, without specifying which Kurds would meet his criteria. If he is not willing to
accept Israel or Jews, for sure he will not accept the Kurds. Why does US trust these
characters?

When Sherkoh met him in D.C., he found him chauvinistic and fascistic, asserting the Kurds have no
right to ask for anything beyond citizenship.


We are pictured with a Local Syrian Arab opposition leader in D.C.

Ehr Daw - Theyre Here
Rabbi Shalom Lewiss sermon marking Rosh Hashanah
at the Etz Chaim synagogue in Marietta, Georgia.

I thought that maybe Id start with a rendition of Paul McCartneys plaintive masterpiece Yesterday
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though theyre here to stay, oh I believe
in yesterday but then I thought, too romantic. And then I thought, how about the favorite classic we all
learned as children Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques, Dormez-vous, Dormez-vous, Sonnez les matines,
sonnez les matines, Ding Daing Dong, ding daing dong. Are you sleeping, are you sleeping, Brother
John, Brother John but then I said to myselftoo French. Perhaps the story of Chicken Little The sky
is falling. The sky is falling and I thought, getting closer but too childish. What about Santayanas Those
who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Maybe, but too philosophical. And then I
remembered Joseph Conrads sadly, cynical observation The belief in a supernatural source of evil is
not necessary. Men alone are quite capable of every wickedness, and sadly it felt right.
And so, here we are in a place of unimagined chaos and cowardice, paralysis and brutality. The beast
roams the earth; we are stymied, stunned and continue to fiddle. My friends, Ehr Kumpt Part 2, the
Sequel. This is not a time for delicacy. For tiptoeing. It is not a time to parse words nor worry about
offending someone with unfiltered vocabulary. Time is no longer a luxury we possess. Distance no longer
provides protection. We are being threatened like no time before, by an enemy obsessed with an
apocalyptic endgame that will bring only disaster. An enemy that worships savagery. An enemy that
celebrates depravity. An enemy that glorifies the death of the young. There has been a seismic shift in
our world. We feel it. We see it. We know it. We dare not deny it. Pick up any newspaper on any day, the
first page, the second page, the third page, the fourth page and beyond most of the articles are about
radical Muslims, not just ISIS, immersed in a vicious culture of blood and slaughter. Skip to the sports
page or the crossword puzzle if you wish, but that doesnt make the uncomfortable news go away. In fact,
it brings joy to the jihadists who hope for our indifference. If we deny evil then we need not fight it. It
doesnt exist just a few lunatics, thousands of miles away, pounding sand, blowing each other up and
occasionally beheading an unlucky journalist. Not so bad.

For years, we have been mercifully spared the ugliness and intimacy of war. The Battle of the Bulge and
Iwo Jima were a black and white MovieTone newsreel after Tom & Jerry and before the Pride of the
Yankees. We planted victory gardens, rolled up tin foil, bought Liberty Bonds, said goodbye to fathers,
sons and brothers. But the trenches were on the other side of the Atlantic and Pacific. So too, every other
subsequent conflict. The Yanks were coming but the shooting was over there. We suffered little. But
today, war has been redefined and relocated. Geneva is finished. We are all combatants in the cross
hairs. We are all on the front lines, like it or not. The battlefield has no boundaries and the war, no rules.
The enemy targets deliberately, fiendishly, any place of innocence. All are vulnerable and so we must
recalculate our strategy, re-examine our tolerance, re-energize our resolve and unequivocally identify the
evil doers. Let us not be silenced by fear, by feckless goodwill, by reckless hope, by meaningless rhetoric.
There are one billion Muslims in the world and authorities agree that 5% are committed Islamists who
embrace terror and wish to see, by any means possible, the Muslim flag fly over every capital, on every
continent. I was relieved when I heard only 5%. Thank God its only 5%. Now I could sleep soundly. But
wait, let me figure this out, 5% of a billion is 50 million Koran-waving, Allah Akbar-howling Muslim
murderers out there planning to slit our throats, blow us up or forcibly convert us. It only took 19 of Osama
bin Ladens disciples to bring down the Twin Towers, plow into the Pentagon and crash a plane into
Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 dead. Over $10 billion in damages on that sad day. 19 Al Qaeda.
50 million Islamists. Do the math.
But what disturbs me is, where are the other 950 million Muslims who are not terrorists? Who are not
bomb-blasting, acid-throwing zealots? Where are the other 950 million Muslims who tuck their children in
at night with a lullaby, who are okay with Christians and Jews, crave a peaceful world and wish nothing
more than a tasty bowl of hummus and a friendly game of Shesh Besh with a neighbor? I want to believe
they are out there, for their sake and for ours. I want to believe they weep in pain over the desecration of
their faith. I want to believe that we have partners who dream the dreams we do and wish upon the same
star. I want to believe but where are they? A silent partnership is no partnership. Sin is not just in the
act of commission it is also in the act of omission. Most Germans were not Nazis but it did not matter.
Most Russians were not Stalinists but it did not matter. Most Muslims are not terrorists but it does not
matter. Stand up righteously or get out of the way. Perhaps in every mosque, in every midrassah, in every
Muslim neighborhood, Edmund Burkes powerful warning should be chiseled on a wall in Arabic, in Farsi,
in Pashto, in Urdu, for all to read and heed. All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good people to
do nothing.
A couple of months ago, 3 young Israelis were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and killed. And so began
Operation Protective Edge. But the Gaza war was much more than shooting down rockets and blowing
up tunnels it was the preview, the soft opening, for a much more serious war a genuine world war. It
was a test of resolve, of fortitude. It was a test watched carefully by the indecent forces of a rising Islamist
world. Israel is only the beginning. The first prize sought in what promises to be a protracted, multi-
generational Kulterkampf. Israel made the headlines, but the front lines are all over the map we just
dont know it yet. The whole world was watching and our performance was pathetic. We, the good guys,
stumbled at the gate; tripped clumsily in an embarrassing display of moral confusion and ineptitude. It
was amateur hour and the bad guys were licking their chops. I say the following unapologetically and with
a heavy heart. When the war began, the President of the United States, the leader of the Free World,
should have immediately, instinctively invited to the Oval Office, the leading Democrats and Republicans
of the Senate and the House, his cabinet and all significant Washington political players. Every domestic
and international news organization should have been notified and the following talk broadcast across the
planet.

Fellow Americans a crisis has erupted once again in the Middle East and I have been
told that the war between Israel and Hamas is complex and nuanced. I have been told
that our great nation must be evenhanded- but I am here to say with no equivocation,
with no hesitation, this war is not complex. This war is not nuanced and we will not be
evenhanded in this confrontation of good and evil, of right and wrong, of civilization
and savagery. We Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives from sea to
shining sea, stand together in unshakable support of Israel against foul, corrupt,
murderers who sacrifice the lives of children in their pursuit of power. To Israel we say

41

do whatever you must. To Israel we say, take whatever time you need to crush this
vile enemy and whatever you require, you can count on us. To the world we say, Israel
is fighting for all of us for our values, for our principles, for our civilization. Support
her efforts, as we do, in every way possible. I will not tolerate any words of
disparagement against our greatest ally and friend in the Middle East. God bless Israel
and God bless the United States of America.

But these words did not ring forth from the White House, the capital of the free world. What we did hear
was No victor, no vanquished. This statement was our Presidents strategic plan. No call for triumph
over terrorism, but a weak-kneed, stalemate with butchers a tie between good and evil. Right and
wrong. Civilization and savagery. This did not go unnoticed. Media coverage during the war was biased
and shameful with a few notable exceptions. To permit Hamas spokesmen and Hamas sympathizers to
speak and to defend their monstrous deeds to millions of viewers is morally shocking. To promote
equivalency between Israel and Hamas is morally appalling. With my remote, I would channel surf, go
from station to station and I could not believe what I was hearing on CNN, CBS, BBC, ABC, MSNBC, and
all the rest. The grotesque propaganda, the repulsive distortions the tolerance of the wicked. And this
did not go unnoticed. As I sat through these numbing broadsides, I wondered if our mainstream media
during WWII would have invited the Germans and the Japanese to share their perspectives on the
hostilities in Europe and in the Pacific. As they moaned about Dresden and the Doolittle Raid, would the
anchors have nodded in sympathy? When the Germans and Japanese explained the need for the V1 and
V2 bombardment of London and the necessity for the Bataan Death March, would the anchors have
expressed understanding? The obscenities and outright lies given airtime and legitimacy should be
sickening to any person of conscience.
Words distinguish us from the beast. In a powerful Holocaust tale, Eli Wiesel painfully writes that when
words lose their meaning, disaster follows. In todays Middle East lexicon; restraint means suicide.
Terrorists have become militants. Self-defense is a war crime. Democracy is apartheid. Israelis and Jews
have become Nazis. Warning civilians to get out of harms way has become genocide. 38 Muslim
countries 22 Arab countries and Israel, the only Jewish nation, must constantly defend her right to exist.
Russia invades. Nigeria enslaves. China oppresses. Pakistan rapes. Iraq slaughters. North Korea
starves. Iran nuclearizes. Syria massacres. Venezuela plunders. Afghanistan tortures. Sudan annihilates.
ISIS beheads and Israel is the pariah state, put under the microscope by the morally noxious. And this did
not go unnoticed. Eric Hoffer, the longshoreman philosopher, wrote the following in 1968 46 years ago.
His words have not grown stale with the passage of time. To the contrary, they are every bit as relevant
and meaningful today, nearly 1/2 a century later. I quote: The Jews are a peculiar people: things
permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out 1,000s, even millions of
people and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey drove
out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchman. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many
Chinese and no one says a word about refugees. But, in the case of Israel, the displaced Arabs have
become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee
calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations,
when victorious on the battlefield, dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious on the battlefield, it
must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in the worldOther nations
when they are defeated, survive and recover, but should Israel be defeated, it would be destroyed
Hoffers final words are chilling and prophetic. I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with
Israel so will it go with all of us. Should Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us.
To those who are morally obtuse, I say shame on you from university professors to the useful idiots of
the media, from liberal churches to Hollywood, from the United Nations to the clueless left let me remind
all the misguided do-gooders your deeds do not go unnoticed. The world does not like a righteous
Goliath especially if Goliath speaks Hebrew.
Lets leave the Middle East and head to Europe. For those who have not been recently, it has changed. It
has changed dramatically. The sights. The sounds. The crowds. The streets are much different than
when we backpacked with our Eurorail passes strolling down the Champs-Elysees, chasing pigeons at
Trafalgar Square, wandering the backstreets of Amsterdam after dark. The continent that gave birth to
Western civilization, the continent that defined high culture is crumbling before our very eyes. Because of
well-intentioned tolerance and an undisciplined pluralism, Europe is returning to the dark ages. By most

42

estimates, Europe will be unrecognizable by the middle of this century crushed by a demographic
tsunami. The birthrate of the Brits, the French, the Dutch and the rest of the EU is well below ZPG. The
Muslim communitys birthrate is prolific.
The danger, however, is that Europe has not been a melting pot, assimilating new Muslims. And these
new Muslims, for the most part, are not interested in respecting the great democracies of Europe. They
want Sharia law and Islamic culture to be ascendant, and with their birthrate, the ballot box and their
disdain for the West, in time they will get it. The element that is surging and redefining Europe are not the
democracy-respecting Muslims, but those who are rampaging in nearly every capital. They are preaching
hate for Jews, for Christians, for Israel, for America, for the entire Western world. It is not our
grandfathers Europe and it will not be a Europe our grandchildren will recognize. For the record, Europe
is being flooded not by freedom loving, tolerant, assimilating Muslims who wish to share in Western
freedom, in Western tolerance, in Western culture but rather by violent Islamists, extremists who reject
every value we treasure.
We love ethnic communities they are vibrant, exciting, magical faraway places only a walk away.
Chinatown, Little Odessa, Greek town, Little Havana, Lower Eastside, Little Italy, but what is spreading
across Europe are not charming, quaint neighborhoods enjoyed by locals and camera toting tourists in
search of a charming restaurant. These are beachheads for invasion. Want to stare down a guard at
Buckingham Palace? Do it soon. Want to see the Follies-Bergere dance the Can Can? Do it soon. Want
to sip wine at the vineyards of Tuscany? Do it soon. Want to sunbathe on the beaches of San Tropez? Do
it soon. The sun never set on the British Empire, but now there is a cold darkness settling on Europe. A
nihilism. A corruption. A perversion in the name of Allah. A Kristallnacht of European and Western culture
is coming that will destroy a millennium of creative genius. Dont listen to me. Listen to what the Islamists
preach.
Dont listen to me. Look at what the Islamists do. It is not a leap into fantasy to perceive a dystopian future
that is irretrievably ugly and inconceivably vile.
The Sistine Chapel demolished for portraying Gods image.
The Pieta, Venus de Milo, David smashed. Idolatry.
Botticellis and Goyas and Renoirs and Rubens torched paintings of women not wearing a
hijab and chador.
The Guttenberg Bible. The Magna Carta. Tossed into a bonfire. Profane literature.
Museums all across Europe vandalized by marauding Islamist fanatics.
Even the Nazis saved the masterpieces.
Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart silenced.
The end of opera. Rossini, Verdi, Puccini gone.
For Shakespeare, Cervantes, Moliere. The Final curtain, a dark stage.
Even the Nazis enjoyed the classics.
I must assume there are skeptics out there folks who disbelieve my warnings and might label me an
alarmist a Paul Revere wannabe galloping across the Pyrenees through the European heartland in
the shadow of the Alps crying out The Muslims are coming. The Muslims are coming. I weighed each
and every word carefully. Repeatedly. Was I treading into bigotry? Into melodrama? Speak with the
canaries in the mine, the Jews of Europe, fleeing in record numbers. Synagogues fire bombed. Jewish
businesses vandalized. Children threatened on their way to school. Kippot buried in their pockets.
Mezuzot. Hamsas. Magen Davids dangling on chains tucked under shirts and under blouses to hide
Jewish identity. Israeli products pulled off store shelves. This is not the 1930s nor the 1940s and yet it is.
68 years since the Nazis defeat but their descendants are making Hitler proud picking up where he left
off. I have a premonition that will not leave me; as it goes with Israel so will it go with all of us. Should
Israel perish, the Holocaust will be upon us. Slip in the word Jew for Israel and we see the future of
Europe. This ever-growing tragedy doesnt end neatly in Europe, in the Middle East, in Mumbai or the
Philippines.
Most of us have never tasted the bitterness of war. Witnessed its horror. Clawed our way out from
beneath tons of rubble. But we dare not be complacent and cry out confidently we have 2 oceans and
the TSA to protect us. We live in a shrunken world. In a porous country. In an open society. We have
become perilously nave. Recklessly evenhanded. Unacceptably tolerant. Dangerously comfortable. The

43

greatest generation has spawned the clueless generation. I say it again loudly, slowly and clearly we
are at war, here in America as well, with radical Islamists. We have been attacked repeatedly and yet we
continue to turn away. We euphemize the enemy. Disguising his identity and his intent. There will not be
armadas chanting Allah Akbar landing on the beaches of Malibu and Boca. No vast battalions chanting
Allah Akbar while crossing the Rio Grande or the 45th Parallel but make no mistake we are at war,
right now, this very minute. The tactics have changed. The battlefield is different. The rules of
engagement have been redefined but we dare not make the mistake that all is well and that Islamic
terrorists are simply violent criminals. That Islamic terrorists are just a bunch of unemployed losers, not
part of a vast network hell bent on destroying our country. Their disunity in numbers but their unity in
purpose is their power. The Lone Wolf is deadly and we are the prey.
Ask the man or woman on the street when did this all start and most would reply: On 9/11. That was a
catastrophic day, but not the start. For us here in America, the war began in Teheran in 1979 when our
embassy was taken over. It has continued ruthlessly and without pause ever since. Lockerbie and
Scotland, TWA Flight 840, the USS Cole, embassies and American interests bombed and Americans
killed in Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, Sudan, Spain, Kenya, Germany, Egypt, Kuwait, Indonesia and
Saudi Arabia. Connect the dots. Here on American soil, before 9/11, the Twin Towers were attacked in
1993. The Times Square bomber. The Tsarnev brothers in the Boston Marathon bombing. The Fort Hood
massacre was not work place violence but the calculated, cold blooded murder of 13 American soldiers
by a Muslim Jihadist yelling Allah Akbar. The shooting up in Little Rock, Arkansas of an army recruiting
station. The murder of 2 CIA agents outside Langley by a Pakistani whose final words before meeting his
maker were There is no God but Allah. The indignant, impious, arrogant claim by CAIR, the Council on
American-Islamic relations, that anyone who commits an act of violence is by definition, not a Muslim.
Therefore, a Muslim terrorist, a Muslim killer, a Muslim suicide bomber, is a misleading term of bigotry
and Islamophobia. The slick, masterful ISIS recruitment in Minneapolis. New York. Colorado. On
Facebook. On Twitter and across the country. Connect the dots.
Lets get Jewish-personal. A Zim Line cargo ship was prevented from offloading its cargo for 3 days
because of pro-Palestinian mobs in Oakland, California. A young man from our shul on his 1
st
day of
university was taught by his PhD, tenured professor that Israel committed ethnic cleansing in 1948 In
Dade County a synagogue was defaced with swastikas and the words Hamas scrawled on its walls. A
JCC in Seattle was attacked. A pro-Palestinian rally in Miami called for the massacre of the Jews.
University campuses across the country, hot beds of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish hostility. A local merchant in
Roswell told one of our members (not realizing she was Jewish and vocal) that she was fed up with
Israels brutal treatment of the children of Gaza. We are not Europe, but connect the dots. I am
concerned, as we all should be, of the alarming surge in Islamist rhetoric, violence and influence. I am
equally concerned, as we all should be, of the alarming silence and inaction of mainstream Muslims. I
fear political correctness run amuck. I fear the worship of multiculturalism. I fear progressive voices of
repression. I fear a distorted media tolerant of intolerance. I fear politicians who prefer the easy, still of the
night to the noble, necessary struggle of the day. I fear we are not so far away from where we thought we
would never be.
Three thoughts to ponder. This past year, many of us saw the Book of Mormon at the Fox. An irreverent,
vulgar, hysterically entertaining musical about the Mormons. We parked our car at the Georgian Terrace
and crossed Peachtree Street. In front of the theater were a half dozen, well dressed, mannerly Mormons
handing out literature. Sir, if you would like to know more about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints, a young woman said to me as I took her brochure, Please go to our website. I thanked her. She
smiled, wished me a pleasant evening and turned to speak with another ticket holder. I thought, God
bless these folks. This is how we disagree in America. At the same moment I had another thought. What
if Trey Parker and Matt Stone came out with a tasteless, bawdy musical that was hysterically entertaining
entitled The Quran, Allahs Holy Book. What would happen? It doesnt take much imagination to answer
that question. Jeff Foxworthy correctly wrote, Have you ever wondered why its okay to make jokes about
Catholics, the Pope, Jews, Christians, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Chinese, the French (including
French Canadians)but its insensitive to make jokes about Muslims? A few years back, a Danish
newspaper Jyllanns-Posten printed 12 cartoons of the prophet Muhammad to illustrate an article. If the
photos published were of Moses or Buddha or of the Apostle Paul, the event would have been met with a
yawn. But not so with our Islamist friends. The reaction? Not a letter to the editor. Not a request to submit
an op-ed. Not a friendly visit to the publisher but worldwide rage. Riots. Boycotts. Embassies burned.

44

Ambassadors recalled. Attacks on Christians and on churches. 200 killed. Soon after, a professor from
Brandeis wrote a book on this outrageous event entitled, 12 Cartoons That Shook the World. It was
published by Yale University Press, located at 302 Temple Street, New Haven, Connecticut 06511,
United States of America. But what was missing in the book? What Yale University refused to print were
the 12 cartoons and images of Muhammad. This self-censorship was shameful, cowardly, un-American
and a sniveling submission to Islamic narcissism and intimidation. Where is a great universitys courage?
Where is Freedom of the Press? This happened in America. In the land of the free and in the home of, I
hope, still the brave.
I recall, as we all do, the good old days when air travel was a pleasure. When I flew here to Etz Chaim in
my commuting, student days, Id catch a cab outside my apartment on the upper West Side and be at
LaGuardia in about 20 minutes. Id check my bags in 2 minutes and be at the gate in 4 minutes, just in
time to board my flight. I even got a meal. In those days, flying was an adventure, even in coach. Today it
is irritating and exhausting. What happened? What changed? Whos to blame? Who has created the
need for a multibillion dollar security industry? Who has created a tedious need for us to remove our
shoes and belts, empty our pockets, pack only 3-1/2 ounces of Listerine, go through metal detectors and
x-ray machines, submit to frisks and wand searches? Arrive hours before departure? Who is responsible?
Lets see not the Italian Mob, not skin heads, not neo Nazis, not Columbian drug cartels, not the
Russian mafia, not the Crips nor the Bloods nor the Aryan Brotherhood, not the Ku Klux Klan. So who is it
that has irretrievably ruined worldwide air travel? So, think of a Muslim play on Broadway. Think of a
scholarly text on Muhammad. Think of flying Delta or United or AirTran. Think about it and connect the
dots. For us, WWII lasted 4 years. It has been 13 years since 9/11. 35 years since the invasion of our
Iranian embassy and like it or not, we are still at war with radical Islam. Declaring we are not at war with
radical Islam does not make it so. Roosevelt and Churchill got it and understood that the stakes were not
just the Sudetenland and a few islands in the South Pacific. From the White House and 10 Downing
Street, they understood it was planet earth. Today, the radical Islamists seek the same prize not just
Bagdad or Benghazi but planet earth.
This is not dramatic fiction, but the real thing. A handful of us here today, experienced the real thing about
11 weeks ago in Israel. We didnt see the real thing on the nightly news nor read about it in the evening
paper or hear about it in a long distance phone call from uncle Moshe in Tel Aviv. We were there as
Kassam rockets rained down on Israel, on us, targeting, not military bases, not Merkava tanks, not IDF
divisions, but children at play, families enjoying dinner, friends laughing over a beer, lovers strolling
through a park, teenagers playing volleyball on the beach. The world watched and preached and judged
and only now has begun to stir from their slumber of hypocrisy and inaction. Hamas is ISIS. ISIS is
Hamas. They are all the same. Hezbollah. Islamic Jihad. Al Shabab. Muslim Brotherhood. Boko Haram.
Al Qaeda. Taliban. Iran. The only difference is the length of the knife they use in their butchery. Israeli
blood bleeds the same red as the blood of James Foley, of Steven Satloff, of David Hawthorne Haines, of
Christians, and Yazidis. Lets reason, some suggest. One last Hail Mary negotiation. Maybe we can figure
out whats bothering these troubled Muslims and perhaps theyll tell us what we can do to resolve the
friction. I am all for dialogue, but we are dealing with a moral species that eats its own, kills its young and
celebrates innocent death as homage to God. Osama bin Laden eluded capture for 10 years. Ever
wonder why? There was a $25 million bounty on his head. Thats a lot of money. $25 million can by a lot
of plastic surgery. A new identity. Rosetta Stone tapes. Elocution lesson. A suburban home. A Brooks
Brothers wardrobe. New partners. New friends. Surf and turf every night and a round of golf every day. In
10 years, there was not one betrayal of Osama bin Laden not one. And I asked myself, why not?
$25 million is a great amount of money and can easily facilitate a luxurious disappearance. The answer is
simple. These Islamist criminals are unlike us in the most basic of ways and we have yet to accept and
understand their total immersion in moral debauchery.
The enemy has eyes and ears. Fingers and toes. Speaks with lips. Runs with legs. Eats. Drinks. Has the
face of a human being but, has a much different heart and a much different soul. Three years ago on
this bima, on this very same day, standing at this podium, I cried out, Ehr Kumpt they are coming. 3
years later on this bima, on this very same day, standing at this podium, I cry out not Ehr Kumpt they
are coming, I cry out, Ehr daw they are here. The fury of ultimate evil is upon us and we must act
not to contain it. Not to degrade it. Not to manage it. Not to tolerate it, but to exterminate it utterly and
absolutely. If we fail in this holy crusade, we will live in a world bereft of color. Empty of music, of art, of
romance, of laughter, of freedom, of invention. A world barren of all beauty. Depleted of all virtue. We are

45

divided today not by faith nor holy book. We are divided today by decency and indecency. By right and
wrong. By moral and corrupt. By courage and cowardice. By righteousness and evil. The good citizens of
earth must rise up. Gather on the mountain top and proclaim in thundering unison the words of Isaiah:
Hoy haomrim lera tov vlatov rah woe to them that call evil, good and good, evil. Who present

[Kurdistan, Midterms, BHO, Klinghoffer, Islamism, Abortion, Marriage, Adcock, Colbert Turkey, Corbett]

https://www.scribd.com/doc/242366343/Thoughts-Kurdistan-Midterms-BHO-Klinghoffer-Islamism-
Abortion-Marriage-Adcock-Colbert-Turkey-Corbett

I have shared these insights [accrued, almost 4K-pages] during the past 1 years for myriad reasons,
yielding a meta-analysis of hyperlinks that have been mined from disparate sources; the cut/paste
process has yielded validation of insights that have focused upon the fear BHO engenders that his effort
to transform America could yield doom [for Israel, as well]. I have mainstreamed [indeed, prioritized]
articulate critique [prior to debunking it, of course], forever in awe of the intransigently lib/Dem mind
that prioritizes absolute abortion-rights over risk of demise of American Exceptionalism [with the most
recent example thereof included herein]. The overwhelming angst persists that BHOs visit to the
Pentagon today [which had troops-on-the-ground as an agenda-item] will not yield a substantive
alteration in his actions, notwithstanding the humanitarian crisis facing the Kurds. {Attachments contain
Book Reviews regarding two books related to the Jewish Experience, plus info on Rush and two essays
by Geraghty.}

Regarding the social-issues, a tongue-in-cheek video has been produced that portrays
how a man would have to behave were the process of acquiring a condum to be
comparable to that which a woman experiences when seeking contraceptives; my view
of the issues of abortion and marriage may be compared/contrasted with both the
GOPs Platform and the attack thereupon by a *very articulate] lib, as illustrated by my
support for how-abortion-access-has-changed-in-texas [safety-prioritized] as compared
with the concern that such interventions are intended to impede access. Ultimately,
there is a consensus that the Marriage issue has been settled [although Gay
marriages were temporarily blocked in Idaho]; an observation being addressed is that
the GOPs new website lists, @ the bottom, myriad groups that do NOT include the
Log Cabin Republicans.

Regarding these Blast e-mails, accolades have arrived from a patient
*Thank you for this piece, Dr. Bob. It brought tears to my eyes on the
Rabbis sermon. He really hit all points on it. Thank you again.+, a new
friend *Thank you, Dr. Bob! This and your subsequent e-mails are
priceless! Links included are invaluable!+, and a self-professed lifelong
political-thinker *Brilliant!!! Fantastic amount of work to put Thoughts-
III together. First scan showed the breadth and depth. Second scan and
subsequent readings confirmed the conclusions of the first scan.+.
Thus, the labors continue.

Regarding the Mets decision to produce the grossly anti-Semitic opera depicting the
death of Leon Klinghoffer, an Open Letter was delivered to Peter Gelb sponsored by the
Jewish Community Relations Council; the classic-lib reaction In Defense of 'Klinghoffer'
was published by New York Observer, and it rang hollow, for disseminating of such
moral-equivalency is reprehensible. As a result, on Monday, Oct. 20 [5:00 - 7:30 p.m.],
prior to the Opening Night of the opera, a demonstration will be held to protest this
anti-American, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-terrorist opera. Also, 100 wheelchairs will

47

circle Lincoln Center with occupants wearing signs *I AM LEON KLINGHOFFER+,
reminiscent of how the Passover Seder claims all Jews experienced the Exodus. A
contact has disseminated this information and invites critique.

Will Patterson, Director of Communications for Dee Adcocks Campaign
[13
th
Congressional District] will speak Thursday @ 7 p.m. at the
monthly meeting of the East MontCo chapter of Philadelphia Tea Party
Patriots; it will be held at the Willow Grove VFW [305 E. Moreland Rd.
(SR-63)] opposite the Willow Grove Mall.



Regarding other Domestic concerns, Teachers were Reprimanded for Speaking Out
Against Common Core; also, as isis-fighters were caught crossing the us-mexican-border,
a NM MAYOR noted that, 'ALL OF A SUDDEN,' FEDS are RELEASING ILLEGALS AT 4-TO-1
RATIO. Also, CHINA OVERTOOK USA AS WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMY, as Chinas
Currency push takes aim at dollar. Finally, JAY LENO will Launch CNBC Show focused on
automobiles.

I may be nave, but I adore Stephen Colbert because he scrupulously
critiques Dems and R's; for example, his Better Know a District
segment regarding Illinois' 8
th
contained an engrossing and charming
interview with Tammy Duckworth. Consider their exchange, ostensibly,
on immigration reform. Colbert: "By comprehensive, do you mean more
than a wall? Because my plan is more than a wall. I say, wall, moat filled
with flames, fire-proof alligators." Duckworth: "I don't think so." SC:
"You've seen the reports on television that they're bringing in Ebola into
the United States?" TD: "No they're not." SC : "... I think I may have
caught it already. Because when I look at these kids on the border I get
a very weird clutching feeling in my throat, my heart sinks and my eyes
begin to leak. ... That's got to be Ebola. ..." TD: "I think that's humanity,
Stephen." SC: "Is that curable?"]

Two items-in-the-news have local manifestations; fitzpatrick-visited the middle-east-and
met-rebels, and one hopes he has read whats been recorded herein regarding their
posture towards the Kurds [and Israel]. Also a petition to 'Make "PATERNO FIELD" at
Beaver Stadium' has taken-hold, focused on reversing the erasure of his wins; one hopes
that this initiative will resonate within the NCAA, for it blithely dismissed unique

48

achievement on the basis of undocumented claims against JoePa [noting his admission
that he wished hed done more, uttered a few weeks prior to his death to the WaPo+.

Regarding Kurdistan, CABLES from previously classified State Department documents show how the U.S.
tried to engage and undermine the Kurdish fighters protecting Kobani; this may explain why Obama
Holds the Military Back in Syria and Iraq, raising the larger question as to whether, Against ISIS, Our
Allies and Adversaries may be identical. For now, Coalition Airstrikes Hit Islamic State Fighters Attacking
Syrian Kurdish Town of Kobane and Kurds Say they Pushed the Islamic State Back From Kobani; yet,
lefties still advance a sense of pessimism to protect BHO from critique without trying to analyze the
implication s of permitting the Islamic State to reign triumphant [The American nightmare in
Mesopotamia and the Levant, begun in 1990-1991 with Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, will
continue into the indefinite future with no guarantee but its ultimate failure].

Western fear of angering Turkey left a besieged Kurdish town at mercy of the
Islamic State, but Turkey Hesitated to Prevent Fall of Kobane caused Dismay in the U.S.;
officials noted, for example, that the American-led coalition, with its [allegedly] heavy
rotation of flights and airstrikes, has effectively imposed a no-fly zone over northern
Syria already, so Mr. Erdogan's demand for such a zone rings hollow." It was postulated
that, even after Turkish Parliament Debated Military Authorization, Erdogan's inaction
can be explained by the unique dilemmas IS poses for Turkey; every policy response
designed to resolve these dilemmas merely creates new challenges, from domestic
politics to the long-simmering question of Kurdish autonomy. A less sympathetic
viewpoint is based on the fact that Turkey Traded 180 Jihadists for 49 Turkish Hostages,
noting that at least 12 Kurds were killed in demonstrations across Turkey in protests
against Turkey's inaction in Kobani. Bucking recent trends, it is admirable that an
American Fighter Joined the Kurds in Battling Against Islamic State.

Some suggest allowing creation of the "Islamic State" would be desirable, for it could prompt the world
to prioritize defeating it, but I disagree; its too risky. In 1968, when I opposed Nixon, it was suggested
that the choice of Agnew would assuredly lead to the defeat of the Rs *felt to be desirable+; what I
learned then and recall now is that one must oppose a problematic scenario at its initiation, absent
rationalization of procrastination, lest it prevail. On the one hand, there has been good news [The U.S.
may have turned off the Islamic State's oil spigot, advocated by Dick Morris although somewhat
contradictory to American policy when roles were reversed during the Gulf War]; on the other hand,
there has been bad news [The Islamic State shot down a second Iraqi military helicopter]. Overall, the
news is mixed; Canada Voted to Join Air Strikes Against ISIS, but will not supply ground-troops.

Meanwhile, regarding Israel, turmoil continues locally [Hizbullah Attack Wounded 2
Israeli Soldiers on Lebanon Border and Palestinians Attacked Israeli Police on Temple
Mount in Jerusalem] and overseas [Israel's UN Envoy: PA "Whitewashing" Israeli Teens'
Murder]; yet, Hundreds of Gazans Visited Jerusalem and its increasingly clear Why the
Gaza War Looked Different on Israeli TV than It Did on CNN [preferring the former].
Ominously, Europe's Alarming New Anti-Semitism is being manifest as the EU Threatens
Sanctions Against Israel over Settlements; yet, Donors Threaten to Withhold Gaza Aid.
{Also, Netanyahu necessarily ordered new legislation against illegal immigrants.}

All these considerations segue into increasing scrutiny of BHO; for example, Indyk Bashed both Israel [as
usual] and and Obama [surprisingly] on Yom Kippur; his deceit notwithstanding, he was harsh. In

49

addition, as it was revealed that Russia Commanded Syrian Spy Base Against Israel, the issue was raised
as to whether Syria will be Obama's Vietnam, noting that syria-unveiled-four-more-chemical-weapon-
facilities, as per the UN. Even Jimmy Carter announced that Obama Blew It on ISIS, a conclusion that is
related to the confusing evolution of how the Obama administration talks about the fight against the
Islamic State and why words matter. Most concerning is the fact that Iran's president said differences
remain on the details of a final deal on the Iranian nuclear program, noting that the two sides face a
Nov. 24 deadline to reach a comprehensive deal; meanwhile, Iran Dissidents claim Tehran Continues
Nuclear Arms Work.

I spoke last night for a few hours with a friend who vehemently disagreed with the claim
that the Islamic movement has had a Reformation that could be emulated; he cited
section #18 of the Epistle_to_Yemen by Maimonides to undermine the claim there was
any Islamic Golden Age, and he cited a tome that I own *The Legacy of Islamic Anti-
Semitism: From Sacred Texts to Solemn History+ to illustrate that any calm in
persecution was a relative phenomenon. Nevertheless, hope springs eternal that defeat
of Islamism could allow the more moderate variety of Muslim to predominate Islamic
thought.

With increased recognition of the lethal nature of Islamism, focus upon BHOs failures continued to be
the focus of FNCs prime-time newscasts, while others [MSNBC/CNN] ignored and/or rationalized-away
critique by Panetta, Gates, Hillary and Hill; as discussed yesterday, KRAUTHAMMER concluded the
PANETTA INTERVIEWS were 'UTTERLY DEVASTATING' TO OBAMA noting, in addition, the BOMBSHELL
statement by this Former Sec. of Defense *I Told Obama RIGHT AWAY that Benghazi was a Terrorist
Attack+ that directly contradicted what BHO said to OReilly prior to the Super Bowl.

A friend reported what he heard on BBC this am (Hard Talk). Interviewed former Joint
Chief General of UK. He mirrored what all the military analysts here have said
regarding IS. In sum, as Colin Powell said 'Strike with overwhelming force" to win. He
"blamed" POTUS and PM for allowing politics to dictate military strategy. He even
"blamed" the media for emphasizing short term issues over longer view of danger.
Nothing new, just confirming source from outside our borders. (All quotes are mine. He
was very diplomatic and at 4 a.m. it hard to remember exact quotes.)

In BHOs world, illustrations of alleged incompetence [and failure to come-clean with the public]
emerged as Enterovirus D68 killed [prompting issuance of A Call to Arms+ and the WHITE HOUSE
STARTED WORKING ON EBOLA PLAN 10 MONTHS AFTER FIRST CASE [establishing screens @ five
airports], as a Dallas Commissioner Blamed Race and lack of Insurance for Ebola Patient's Care after hed
died; also, apparently, the CIA didn't know it had Senate 'torture' report [claiming the confusion may
have been due to the full report being on a compact disc, rather than thousands of pieces of paper]. Its
ominous when the lib-WaPo claims page-one scandal [Obama Aides knew of White House link to Secret
Service prostitution scandal] and op-ed revamping [DAVID IGNATIUS column - "A White House shake-
up?"+. It seems there is a compulsion to rearrange the deck-chairs on the Titanic.

Regarding POTUS-16, ISIKOFF [another lib] revealed th First Whitewater prosecutor
says 'serious crimes' were uncovered in probe and Hillary Dodged the Keystone XL
Question Again and Again; this is why, perhaps, Joe Trippi doesnt think shell run. And
on the R-side, an article *American Conservative: The Jeb Bush Fantasy+ illustrated

50

why he shouldnt run, either, and it was suggested that Dems Fear Brian Sandoval Could
Peel Away Latino Voters In 2016.

Regarding the Midterms, generically, registered-voter-polls-will-usually-overrate-democrats; specifically,
we-arent-talking-about-the-economy-in-2014 because so much else is wrong *as the Rs focus on the
effort to nationalize this election, supported by a BHO-exclamation last week]. Perhaps as a result,
DEMS TURNED AGAINST PELOSI and BHO; ACROSS THE CONGRESSIONAL MAP, OBAMA IS PERSONA
NON GRATA and the NY-Times concluded the PARTY has BENCHED PREZ FOR ELECTION. As Former Aides
are Throwing The Books @ BHO, Obama claims 'Theres A Sense ... The World Is Spinning So Fast and
Nobody Is Able To Control It.' Events that emerged in two races were illustrative [TILLIS CHALLENGED
HAGAN IN DEBATE: 'WE NEED TO SEAL THE BORDER' GIVEN EBOLA, ISIS and Mark Pryor Stumbled When
Asked About Obama Ebola Response]. {Also, Fattah nonprofits paid millions to ex-staffers, an issue that
has been tracked assiduously by Jim Foster for years.}

Earlier today, it was suggested that the senate-update [after review of lots-of-polls] was
unchanged, although an upbeat assessment of How The Midterms Are Stacking UP was
provided by Dick Morris. This evening, FNCs polls showed a startling enhancement of
GOP-chances in previously-tight races; GREAT-QUOTES amplify what voters recognize.

As a study-guide when assessing the BATTLE FOR THE SENATE, note that Real Clear Politics has the
current competition tied @ 45 with 10 toss-ups; noting the most-current quotes from these states
suggest the GOP can win the necessary 6 to attain control. To be provided are the average and the
most-recent polling data, along with [if provided] an updated commentary; the second column provides

major image repair to do if he wants to win this race.

Constituting the latest gambit into computerization, Evolving Strategies and Aristotle
Introduced a Groundbreaking Voter Targeting Technology that Could Flip the Senate
Next Month. Ive been focused on the need to create a seamless database management
system that links info accrued nationally with that which a door-to-door campaign
would generate; noting the abject failure of Orca two years ago *introduced without
-testing], one would hope the GOP would have attempted to match a Dem-system that
has now functioned for more than a half-decade. Yet, it does not appear such a
structure has been created, nor is there any prospect one will emerge within a month.

After noting PA-Gov Corbett Slammed Wolf in Brutal New Ad, my uploaded critique of the third-
gubernatorial-debate *having sacrificed FNCs Special Report on-line+ hasnt yet been challenged *by
David Diano, and other Dems]:

This was Corbetts last chance to tie Wolf to BHO, even as Wolf maintained reliance on
vagaries; Corbett was specific while Wolf smiled for the camera.

Most of the time, the atmosphere seemed akin to that which occurs during a joint-
interview; the only exception was when Wolf simply ignored the occasional there he
goes again not answering the question observation by Corbett.

The major issue is the power of unions to stop Corbett from achieving pension-reform
[as well as state-store privatization and paycheck-protection]; this arose in myriad
fashions throughout, eschewed by Wolf and emphasized by Corbett.

The following was e-mailed by Corbetts campaign:

On Tuesday, October 8, a local group of Veterans organized a press conference
questioning if Tom Wolf dodged the draft for the Vietnam War.

In response to these veterans, Tom Wolf authorized his Fresh Start PAC to call Tom
Corbett a draft dodger for his 13 years of service in the Army National Guard.

Here are some news clips:


53

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: (Wolfs campaign) maintained that the GOP attack was
ironic because Mr. Corbett had enlisted in the National Guard at around the same time.
"He joined the National Guard to avoid going to Vietnam.

The Patriot-News: Mike Mikus, a spokesman for the Wolf-led "Fresh Start" PAC took a
pop at the Guv's service, telling WTAE-TV that he thought it was "a bit hypocritical for
[Corbett's] campaign to launch this type of attack when he himself took affirmative
action to join the National Guard specifically to avoid going to Vietnam."

Politics PA: After this attack against Wolf, FreshStartPAs Mike Mikus decided to level
his own against Governor Corbett and his time in the National Guard. I think its a bit
hypocritical for his campaign to launch this type of attack when he himself took
affirmative action to join the National Guard specifically to avoid going to Vietnam,
Mikus charged.

Watch Tom Wolfs Campaign say that Governor Corbett joined the Army National Guard
to avoid going to Vietnam.

The Corbett-Cawley campaign released the following statement in response to Wolfs
comments.

Its absolutely appalling that Tom Wolf and his campaign are
disparaging the commitment and sacrifice of Pennsylvanias National
Guard forces, especially when Wolfs longstanding desire to be governor
comes with the responsibility of being their commander-in-chief in
peacetime. Governor Corbett served his country for 13 years in the
National Guard, rising from private to captain before retiring in 1984
and respects what and who our troops fight to protect whether at home
or abroad.

Mike Mikus speaks on behalf of Secretary Tom Wolf and his campaign. Wolf may push
back that it was not him or his campaign that made those comments, but were the
comments of the Fresh Start PAC.

FRESH START = TOM WOLF.

Press Release: Wolf Campaign Launches "The Campaign for a Fresh Start"

Today, the Tom Wolf for Governor campaign launched a new organization "The
Campaign for a Fresh Start" -- chaired by Katie McGinty -- that will organize Democrats,
Republicans, and Independents who want to give Pennsylvania a fresh start while
holding Governor Tom Corbett accountable through aggressive communications and
research, and mobilization of voters throughout Pennsylvania.

The Campaign for a Fresh Start will work in coordination with the Tom Wolf campaign
and other organizations to hold Governor Tom Corbett accountable for his failed policies
and elect leaders committed to giving Pennsylvanians a fresh start.


54

Politics PA: BREAKING: Wolf Names McGinty Head of New PAC, Avoids Chair Fight
Politics PA: PA-Gov: McGinty Officially Launches Fresh Start PAC

Bottom line: Tom Wolf owes a public apology to the men and women of the Army
National Guard. They were not and are not draft dodgers. They serve our country a On
Tuesday, October 8, a local group of Veterans organized a press conference questioning
if Tom Wolf dodged the draft for the Vietnam War.

In the immediate-past Blast e-mail, follow-up reading Kurdistan/Islamism/Turkey was intended to
show why enhanced efforts must be promulgated ASAP to prompt BHO to send ground-troops to the
ISIS-region. BHOs adverse impact on the Midterms was documented. Worthy of re-emphasis
regarding BHO was the fact that PANETTA INTERVIEWS were 'UTTERLY DEVASTATING' TO OBAMA and
this Former Sec. of Defense Told Obama RIGHT AWAY that Benghazi was a Terrorist Attack, directly
contradicting what BHO said to OReilly prior to the Super Bowl. Social-issues [Abortion/Marriage] were
explored, tethered to the GOP Platform.

defund ObamaDontCare, spotlighting Cruz].} All can be searched for key-words, and the reader is
cordially invited to attempt to ID any internal contradiction *for there arent any!+; no topic has been
evaded, for the secondary-goal of this enterprise has been consensus-development.

As America contends with an intractably-pacifistic POTUS, it is desirable to recall the
Timeless wisdom from the great Ronald Reagan.

The necessity to educate the public regarding Kurdistan continues, despite enhanced public awareness
during recent days; BHO continues to withhold urgently-needed military support. Dr. Sherkoh Abbas [of
the Kurdish National Assembly of Syria] participated in a panel-discussion with Steve Malzberg [listen to
parts 1 and 2] and his concerns have been published in a Magazine-format; a few hours ago, he provided
the Kurdish point of view on the battle for Kobani on Fox-News-Channel. It is also desirable to recap a
major articles we have co-written during the past half-decade:

The Road To Iran Runs Through Kurdistan - And Starts In Syria [4/15/2008]
The Kurds can lead a reborn Syria, at peace with all of her neighbors [8/30/2013]
America Must Recognize Kurdistan, published by the Jewish Policy Center [4/1/2014]
Arm Kurdistan to Defeat the Islamic State...ASAP! [9/23/2014]
Kurds [update]
{also}
Syrian Kurds Fight ISIL, Assad, With Little Help From United States
The Kurds Seek Israeli Assistance in the Struggle for Kobani


The military leader of the Free Syrian Army [being supported (financed, armed and trained) by the US
and Saudi Arabia] accused Kurds of being terrorists instead of viewing the Islamic State as terrorists.
Therefore, not only is BHO withholding vital support to people who are imminently to be slaughtered,
but he is also placing America behind opponents of the only pro-American fighting-force in the region.


58



Sherkoh provides translation of his quotation:

PYD/YPG are terrorists; we work only with honorable Kurds. In our eyes, we have three
types of Kurds: 1)Israel and Zionist Kurds; 2)PKK/YPG terrorists, and 3)Kurds who
are first Muslim and Second Syrian who deserve no rights, period.

Sherkoh provides this commentary:

Thus, General Abdulellah Albashir, in charge of FSA, accused the Kurdish PYD of being
terrorists; he said he will work only with those whom he considers to be honorable
Kurds, without specifying which Kurds would meet his criteria. If he is not willing to
accept Israel or Jews, for sure he will not accept the Kurds. Why does US trust these
characters?

When Sherkoh met him in D.C., he found him chauvinistic and fascistic, asserting the Kurds have no
right to ask for anything beyond citizenship.


We are pictured with a Local Syrian Arab opposition leader in D.C.

59

Therefore, enhanced publicity is needed ASAP, for BHO is BOTH withholding help from the Kurds AND
helping the Free Syrian Army that is infested with anti-American/anti-Israel Islamists.

For levity, watch Feroz Bhote's Videos and, in particular, Walrus Calisthenics.

Im told that it would be desirable to remit an e-mail to Raffi Williams to encourage the GOP to include
reference to the Log Cabin Republicans on the GOPs website.

I updated my comments regarding PAs Third Gubernatorial Debate.

Jon Stewart dissed BHO on the war on ISIS: "So two weeks after the United States and its allies began an
all-out bombing campaign against the evil that is ISIS, let us see the glorious results! ... What happened
to the whole destroy-and-degrade plan? Don't you guys realize if they take over [the Syrian town]
Kobani, our entire yogurt supply will be in jeopardy? [Taps his finger to his ear] I'm being told that that's
Chobani. Kobani is apparently a Syrian Kurdish town on the border of Turkey ... and does not have real
blueberries mixed in it."

Regarding the midterms, Mary Landrieu replaced her campaign manager and Senate
Dems are suddenly Flooding South Dakota Airwaves.

Regarding Hillarys prospects in the POTUS-16 race *I still dont think shell run+, the State Dept.
inspector general revealed More evidence of rampant mismanagement under Hillary Clinton.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/242564277/Thoughts-IX-Compilation-TEA-Party-Movement-Kurdistan-
Islamism

A foreign-student attending last nights meeting of the Tea Party Patriots [Eastern MontCo] is studying
what has transpired in the Delaware Valley during recent years among those sharing these views; thus,
both yesterdays compilation and, now, todays retrospective *dating back to Memorial Day of 13+ are
being provided for academic scrutiny. These are again aggregated into entities of < 2 mgs [I, II, III, IV, V,
VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV+; theres lotsa stuff in them *including specific reference to the Islamic
State and, of course, Kurdistan] thatas it turned outhad legs. Those that were generated during
prior months focused on Obamas rapidly expanding Scandal Sheet *and were sent to a far smaller set
of recipients, before aggressive efforts were initiated via Facebook to expand readership in anticipation
of Guzzardi running for Governor, due to worriment that the Sandusky-Scandal could engulf Corbett];
they will be duly uploaded *for they have been validated+someday.

This discussion of the TEA [Taxed Enough Already] Party Movement has, of course,
threaded through these Blast e-mails, illustrative of how it has matured is the strong
disclaimer in the newly-published handbook of the Tea Party Patriots; after having
detailed its positions on positions reflecting its core stances [fiscal responsibility
constitutionally-limited government and free-markets] related to key-concerns
[National Debt, Healthcare, Tax Reform, Big Government, Immigration, First
Amendment Rights, Second Amendment Rights and Voter Integrity], the final section on
Social Issues recognized they are polarizing and, thus, are pointedly not addressed.

In a future Blast e-mail, an attempt will be made to rationalize these
forces-at-play as they relate to four major components of the GOPs
policies [domestic, foreign, economic and social], with particular care to
relate them to loco-regional experiences with conservatives in both the
political party apparatus and the less-structured TPM free-for-all.

Recent headlines regarding the social issues reflect both their volatility and how the
modus vivendi established herein appears to handle them well. For example, it has
been established that the top-down educational mandate *common core+ is flawed, so
it is not surprising that, as the Election Looms, CT Gov. Malloy Blamed Adoption of
Common Core on Republican Predecessor, even as NEW GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
'COMPEL' SCHOOLS TO PROMOTE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. And efforts to achieve gun-
control are increasingly harsh [DC Councilmember: Disarm Everyone in DC, Including
Cops] while even PIERS MORGAN admitted his GUN CONTROL RANTS HAD
'DIMINISHING EFFECTIVENESS' [although he is Planning an Anti-Gun Documentary].
Noting ongoing hysteria, it should be noted that ANTARCTIC SEA ICE HIT AN ALL-TIME
HIGH AGAIN.

I have been appealing directly to media-types [as well as via Sherkoh] to emphasize peril as the Islamic
State threatened to take Iraqs Anbar province [getting close] and Jihadists Seized Kurdish HQ in Syria's
Kobane [as a UN envoy warned of a looming "massacre" by the Islamic State group] despite the claim

61

that Airstrikes Against ISIS Ramped-up in Kobani; both a Kobani Resident and Britain, Turkey, Kurds
exclaimed US-Led Airstrikes against ISIS are Not Enough. As Turkey and America Play a Game of 'Chicken'
over ISIS and Kobani, Thousands of Kurds Took To Social Media to Entreat Obama To Save Kobane and
Kurdish Riots Continued as Turkey remained quiescent; meanwhile, Yazidi Refugees Live in Harsh
Conditions After Escaping ISIS.

There is no question that Kurds are receiving enhanced attention, but NO ONE is noting
that BHO is wrong on two fronts; not only is he allowing Kurds to be massacred, but he
is also arming anti-Semitic/anti-Israel Islamists, as admitted per the leader of the Free
Syrian Army [detailed yesterday, translated from the Arabic by Sherkoh]. Fox is
beginning to take-note, as per yesterdays interview of Sherkoh @ 1:10 p.m. and
newscast @ 6 p.m. [What does US need to do differently to defeat ISIS?] & 6:50 p.m.
["Special Report" Panel: Is Obama's Air-Only War On ISIS Working?]. All this occurs as a
GENERAL again claimed GROUND TROOPS COULD DEFEAT ISIS IN SIX MONTHS because,
indeed, Only American ground troops can defeat the Islamic State, while the only
individual mirroring these views [albeit with differing motives] was Rand Paul, who
claimed the US Shouldn't Be Arming Syrian Rebels.

The Islamists are also raging worldwide, as it is increasingly recognized that it is UNTRUE that the Islamic
State Really Has 'Nothing to Do with Islam' *It is impossible for any knowledgeable person to
characterize the beliefs and activities of IS jihadists as un-Islamic, much less as anti-Islamic, since
Islamic supremacism and intolerance of non-Muslims are all too characteristic in the Qur'an and
Muhammad's Sunna.+; Sam Harris claims Critics Are Proving his Point on Radical Islam. An Iraqi Bishop
has therefore claimed that a Long-Term Strategy is Needed to Destroy the 'Sick Ideology' of Islamic State
as, in Europe, 1300 POLICE WERE DEPLOYED TO A GERMAN TOWN OVER ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALIST
UNREST and Switzerland has Banned The Islamic State. Yet, under BHO, the U.S. State Department
endorsed a controversial anti-terror handbook published by Canadas Muslim community that refers to
jihad as noble and urges law enforcement to avoid using terms such as Islamic extremism; and, of
course, although the Fort Hood shooter sent a letter to Pope Francis espousing jihad, Hasans murder-
rampage is still portrayed as workplace-violence.

Regarding the Israeli component of this dynamic it has been CLAIMED that THE 4
PALESTINIAN BOYS KILLED ON THE BEACH WERE NOT BLOWN UP BY ISRAEL BUT
MURDERED BY HAMAS; also, Anti-Semitic Graffiti was Left on a Wall by Robbers in
Florida and the Parchin Nuclear Test Site Blast in Iran may have been Sabotage.

Buddy Ron Brownstein was talking with [Lemon] and CNN has the singular mission:
Racism is killing Ebola patients. Ronald said, We can no longer judge a president on
popularity. To them, a Democrat president is always right, even if you are not popular.

If Obama cant pull off popularity, then popularity is not possible anymore. Reagan
pulled it off, but not now. Reagan was despised by them; the country was just as
polarized. It is no different now, Reagan spoke to the people and was successful.
Obama has been exposed as a phony and not as he campaigned and was portrayed by
media to win.

Alyson Grimes wouldnt even admit she voted for Obama. *Drudge Report+ She dodged
the question four times.

Have you ever heard of the Reagan Democrats? He didnt do that with the help of
media! It was a combination of personality, talent, and love for America. It could
happen today with the right Conservative.

Obama was popular once; What happened? Did we turn on a dime?

Mr. Brownstein, could it be because of Barack [Hussein] Obama and his policies?
>>> I used to laugh at morons, now they worry me.

So National Journal Ronald Brownstein, it is just not possible to be popular in our day.
Will that apply to the smartest woman in the world? Or will we hear how popular she

An Alabama mother is furious: her daughter was forced to sign a document that she will

Seg#6: Stick to the Democrat script!

Ellen Johnson Surley is the president of Liberia and makes the news by saying she
changed his status from citizen to refugee and would never let him back. She says
what he did was irresponsible. Now, the Liberian legislation debates whether to give
her more power to restrict public gatherings.

There is a natural tendency of governments to do and Im just throwing it out. Im not
saying it is right around the corner in America. They can take your property. Will they
restrict movement?

((Reading: President Barack Obama gave advice: You cannot get it casually like sitting
by somebody on a bus.)) Should he give this recorded message to the citizens of
Liberia? At the same time, the Wizard Advisor at the CDC says not to travel if you dont
have to.

This is not confidence inspiring when they clearly are not on the same page.

Alison Grimes runs for the Senate against Mitch McConnell, her father held office as a
Democrat. Did you vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012? and she refuses to answer.
She was asked four times. ((Clip: This election isnt about President Obama. I supported
Hillary Clinton.)) Obama never won in Tennessee.

The word has gone out to not rely on Obama; she kept to the script.

She followed consultant advice because that would be what people remember. She
could have said, Yes, I voted for Obama, after I voted for Hillary in the primary. It used
to be everybody wanted to be by Obama
>>> and now, six years later, everybody wants to keep away from him.

From the Rush Limbaugh Morning Update: "Carter II"

You know youre having a bad day when Jimmy Carter tells you your foreign policy
sucks.

But this week, former President Carter said its hard to figure out exactly what Obamas
foreign policy is in the Mideast, because it changes from time to time. Jimmy Carter
noted that two of Obamas former defense secretaries were very critical of the lack of
positive action on the part of the President.

Ill come back to that.

Carter also accused Obama of waiting too long to respond to ISIS. We let the Islamic
State build up its money, capability, strength, and weapons while it was still in Syria."

This is coming from the guy who hid out in the White House for a year, while Iranians
terrorists held American hostages. The guy who fundamentally transformed Iran into
the biggest destabilizing power in the Mideast, and into the biggest state sponsor of
terror in the world. Under Carter, Iran became an Islamic State!

It was a lack of positive action on the part of the President namely, Jimmy Carter, that
paved the way for Ronaldus Magnus to emerge and restore Americas standing in the
world.

Every charge Carter lays on Obama can be laid at his own doorstep. In many ways,
Obama is the second term of Jimmy Carter. Only worse. As unbelievable as that once
seemed, its the case.

Quote Gems from Rush Limbaugh dot com:

"The comedians are the trendsetters. The comedians are the new journalists at all these

hand-wringing students of classical journalism."

"My friends, you know things are tough, you know things are bad when Jimmy Carter
accuses you of being a wimp. And that has happened. Jimmy Carter has accused Obama
of being a wimp on ISIS."

"One of the characters of Rush Revere and the American Revolution is Cam. His father is
deployed to Afghanistan, and Cam struggles with it. He doesn't understand why his
dad's got to be gone so long. Over the course of the book, you see Cam start to mature.
He learns the why's and the how's of what his father does as a member of the Armed
Forces."

"I think liberalism cannot be honest about what it is. Liberals cannot be honest about
who they are."

"I don't say things to get a rise out of people. If I say something, I mean, outside of
parody and satire, if I say something, I genuinely mean it."

"Have you seen a picture of the Michelle Obama Let's Move lunch? It is unbelievable. It
looks like the stuff that egg cartons are made out of. Students are outraged, parents are
outraged -- and, of course, it's always been the Republicans who are starving our
children. It's Michelle Obama who's doing it!"

"Journalism clearly has lain down between widespread deceit and political cowardice.
This country doesn't know who to trust or what to believe anymore. Even on something
as serious as Ebola, people don't think they're being told the truth. People now sense
that everything's been subordinated to politics, the politics of the Democrat Party."

"I dare say, since the Kennedy family, there has not been a Democrat official with this
kind of slavish, almost groupie-like support since Barack Obama."

"It's not complicated, why people oppose illegal immigration. It has nothing to do with
not liking people. It has nothing to do with not being compassionate. It has to do with
the rule of law, which is the glue that holds the country together."

"There hasn't been any serious push-back against Obama from the Republican Party.
The first two years he could have done anything. He had every vote he needed to
accomplish anything."

"None of what is happening in this country is a surprise to those of us who knew who
Barack Obama was prior to the November 2008 election."

"CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley. If you want to watch somebody who really, really
takes themselves seriously and really thinks that the sun and the moon set on every
breath he takes, just watch that guy."

"I think if you could get Obama to be honest about something, you know what it would
be? That he would be stunned at how little opposition that he's faced."

Procrastination-Islamism-Panetta-Ebola-Secret-Service-Colbert-Fallon-Illegals-Eagles-Tobacco

At Thursdays meeting of Tea Party Patriots, the american dream challenge was presented; this is a pre-
midterm educational initiative focused on Healthcare, Immigration and Tax-Reform. Some argue that
the issue of ObamaDontCare has been eclipsed by many others, but Fridays All-Star Panel discussion
on FNC included the observation that notifications of year-end adjustments by health-insurers must
occur within 60 days of years end; thus, recent adverse announcements *Louisiana Hit with Double-Digit
Premium Increases Due to Obamacare and OBAMACARE SENDS IOWA PREMIUMS SKYROCKETING] may
constitute the tip-of-the-iceberg, with voters receiving unsettling letters shortly before they vote.
Similarly, although BHO would wish it otherwise, turmoil on the Mexican-border is burgeoning [vide
infra], although it is unlikely a major IRS-revelation will emerge during the next few weeks. Overall,
implementing an informational strategy focused on these three topics will, it is hoped, flip the Senate;
for example, Gillespie is reportedly depending upon the shock of health insurance premium hikes to
help him defeat incumbent-Warner in Virginia, a phenomenon that could resonate nationally.

BHOs compulsion to procrastinate until after the midterms seems also apparent within
other realms of government that, during the past half-decade, have surely been co-
opted by BHO; for example, the Army will Delay its Bergdahl Report [that is widely
expected to confirm he was a deserter] Until After the Elections, lessening the risk that
this bogus-exchange will remind the electorate of how bad it was that he restored five
generals to the Taliban leadership. Indeed, when noting how he is foot-dragging as
Kurds are increasingly at-risk, it is instructive to recall observations drawn in the WaPo
on 11/23/2012 regarding BHOs alleged rationale for a complete Iraqi withdrawal
[recalling that Panetta reported that Malaki was willing to sign-off on the immunity-
clause that BHO said he had withheld+; recalling BHOs reassurances *on this and other
sources of worriment], the lefties in D.C. proffered a prescient put-down that now
seems to have been validated, for Amateurs can discuss imaginary, over-the-horizon
light footprint strategies {which are being consciously abrogated} while professionals
must consider logistics {which BHO eschews}.

Of course, it is hoped these manipulations will fall flat, as GALLUP reported OBAMAS JOB APPROVAL
PLUNGED TO 39%; indeed, signs of desperation seem to be burgeoning [MICHELLE MESSED-UP IOWA
DEM SENATE CANDIDATE'S NAME and a WENDY DAVIS AD USED EMPTY WHEELCHAIR TO ATTACK
PARAPLEGIC GREG ABBOTT]. There is both good/bad news for BHO when, for example, it is learned that
the BENGHAZI SELECT COMMITTEE EXPECTS TO HEAR TESTIMONY FROM PANETTAin December; unless
the run-off possibilities in Louisiana/Georgia potentially determine if a flip is to transpire, BHO probably
feels he can continue to skate as he continues to face an avalanche of adverse events. Indeed, halperin
feels-panetta-held-back-what-he-really-thinks-about-obama, even after he lambasted both his decisions
and his decision-making; again, however, it seems the only smoking-gun in this book roll-out was elicited
by OReilly when he helped Panetta admit he had told BHO the 9/11/2012 attack at Benghazi had been
due to terrorism during his 5 p.m. meeting, as the attack was ongoing. This procrastination process

68

may be challenged if/when the GOP takes the Senate but, even if an Iran-Contra parallel is proven,
revelations will be occurring as the electorate is starting to scrutinize his potential successors; this is why
Reagan was left unscathed in 88, even as the Dems tried/failed to tie-in Bush-41 in the process.

Consider also how two leading health-officials [CDCs Frieden and NAIADs Fauci+ said
Ebola could be the next AIDS [noting how quickly the situation is changing in Liberia,
Sierra Leone and Guinea] and that Ebola outbreak's grim equation suggests Current
numbers don't add up to progress in halting a deadly epidemic ['Right now, the math
still favors the virus.']. Then note that BHO will mandate screening @ only five airports
[explaining why CORNYN and MCCAUL WANT EBOLA SCREENING AT DALLAS &
HOUSTON AIRPORTS], despite the fact that 'Enhanced' Airport Screening Measures
allegedly Do Little to Stop Ebola from Entering US]. Finally, face the fact that two docs
[who are beloved by many for their AIDS-related public-health unquestioned-successes]
are now feeling compelled to sacrifice that pedigree of professional respect when they
have been enlisted to defend BHOs politicized stance here, lest they reinforce public
demands for enhanced border-protections of any ilk [triggering a ripple-effect that could
affect the porous Mexican border]. What BHOs spokespeople have sidestepped *again,
lest the base become enraged, vide infra] is the fact that a macro quarantine would
be indicated against countries in a fashion comparable to how micro quarantines have
routinely been employed against residences, both for finite time-frames; he shut-down
Ben Gurion Airport following far less provocation, contrasting overtly with what many
now view as unjustified intransigence when faced with an acute epidemic *as usual+.
Note that, already, POLLS Show 58% WANT FLIGHTS FROM EBOLA COUNTRIES BANNED.

This pattern of procrastination has even infested the Secret Service Scandal, as the WP's Carol Leonnig
asserted WH Claims About Prostitution Scandal "Demonstrably False"; even Politico awarded its
BURIED-LEAD AWARD to an excerpt from this extended, front-page expos, when it recounted the
contents of the 48
th
paragraph of yesterday's Colombia bombshell {"The Post reviewed copies of the
hotel logs for [White House advance volunteer Jonathan] Dach's stay, which showed that a woman was
registered to Dach's room at 12:02 a.m. April 4 and included an attached photocopy of a woman's ID
card. Through his attorney, Dach [now working full time in the Obama administration on a federal
contract as a policy adviser in State Dept.'s Office on Global Women's Issues] declined to discuss these
details as well. ... [The DHS inspector general's] team also found that hotel officials had waived a fee
normally charged to guests staying overnight. ... Dach 'was not charged for additional guest as a benefit
of Hilton Honor Member'."} Note that, because CNN'S JAY CARNEY MAY BE IN ON THE FIX, for he was
White House Spokesman During the Alleged Prostitution Cover Up, Ari Fleischer Blasted CNN for
Ignoring White House Hooker Scandal, as others also ACCUSED CNN OF BURYING WH PROSTITUTION
SCANDAL AND, COVER-UP.

Although a concerted effort had been made to encompass major foreign-policy
concerns in the immediate-past Blast e-mail, a few stragglers cannot be ignored, for
they are consistent with worriment that BHOs ideology is running rampant over ethics;
has BHO spoken-out against the fact that a Muslim was Murdered for Selling Jerusalem
Home to Jews?

Read and weep when noting pamela gellers summary, and its import:


69

Obama refused to leave troops in Iraq. We still have bases in Europe
and Asia to keep the peace secured in World War II and the Korean war,
but Obama thought better of leaving 25,000 troops in Iraq proving
yet again what side he is on.

Obama supports the jihadists, and has done so in every conflict since
taking office.

The Islamic State is conquering whole swaths of the Middle East with
Obama-provided weaponry. The Islamic State seized man-portable air
defense systems (MANPADS), Sidewinder missiles, and even MiG-21B
fighter jets when they took Tabqa airbase back in August.

Obama has been arming the Islamic State for years. Just ask
Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Who were they running weapons to
in Syria?

Ive been provided clearance to invite people to join a facebook-page that congeals
major articles in this realm; also, note how Ben Afflecks rant on Bill Mahers show last
week is properly viewed as a Portrait of Islam's Clueless Apologetics, a piece that
provides a point-by-point refutation of his quotes and concludes, The truly guilty ones
are all those Americans in political positions whose job requires them to be honest with
the American people but who continue to act to lie about Islam.

[A sermon that deals with these issues is recounted infra.]

TO SUMMARIZE: The electoral battle that will play-out during upcoming weeks is occurring against the
backdrop of BHOs onslaught of destructive policies/actions, as he continues his cover-ups.

An article quoting ROBERT DUVALL as having claimed STEPHEN COLBERT is 'NOT THAT
FUNNY' provoked this reaction [which I composed without noting that Duvall appeared
old during the interview+:

"The enemy of my friend is my friend." I like both Duvall and Colbert; I am a Republican,
but I find Colbert to have targeted bipartisan pomposity, and he is uniquely hilarious in
the process.

It's not all scripted, noting how he is quick to react during interviews; I honestly hope
that he will bring his cast-of-characters [such as his gun, "sweetness"] to his "personal"
persona [on some level], for his irreverence resembles the George Carlin of yesteryear.

The "jury is out" regarding how Colbert will distinguish himself from the Jimmy's for
they [particularly Fallon] also appeal to this non-lib; perhaps I'm more "tolerant" than
the way conservatives are portrayed, but there is little question that Letterman's
"retirement" will move the needle away from the lefties [although Leno is missed].

*

Both Fallon and Colbert are excellent performers in their own right, but they dont
upstage their guests; thus, they are respected both for what they do and how they do it.

Issues related to Illegals continue to interdigitate with others that illustrate how BHO is squandering

Not surprisingly, the MSM Presents Conflicting Data on Illegal Immigrant No-Shows - On
October 7, the Wall Street Journal [which wants Amnesty, mirroring the desires of
corporations seeking cheap-labor] published a story that stated the vast majority of
migrants who recently entered the US illegally are showing up for their scheduled
deportation hearings. Specifically, it said between July 18 and September 30, about 85%
of unaccompanied minors showed up for their scheduled first hearing, and the data was
{sic} provided by the Executive Office for Immigration Review. However, a September 26
story from the Associated Press said Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary
Jeh Johnson acknowledged roughly 70% of recently arrived immigrant families failed to
report in as ordered to immigration officers within 15 days of their arrival.

Meanwhile, BHO continues to dangle amnesty [Obama Suggests to CA Techies He'll Increase Guest-

Note that the no labels lobbying group, which has received great press [and even has
a weekend Sirius-XM show repeatedly aired on the POTUS channel] over the years
[Imagine this: Ground for compromise and No Labels gathers allies in DC to start 2016

during his MOST RECENT PUBLIC TOWN-HALL, held on 8/3/2013 @ the Lower-Bucks

harbor closet-lib views *shrouded as moderates+.

It may be recalled that the battle against Common Core has become manifest in Colorado, as Students
Protested Moves to Change AP History Classes; a piece in Bloomberg-Businessweek is illustrative of how
the Libs misportray efforts by Rs to probe academic-issues to maximize quality. Buried in its text is the
major provocation for what has transpired *The Jefferson County walkout began after a school board
member proposed creating a curriculum review committee to assess the new AP History classes.+; the
innocuous rationale for this initiative was stated *Materials should promote citizenship, patriotism,
essentials and benefits of the free enterprise system, respect for authority, and respect for individual
rights. Materials should not encourage or condone civil disorder, social strife, or disregard of the law.+
and, thus, what emerged was a political manifestation of adherents of statism [as previously noted].

Regarding the Midterms, although a FEDERAL JUDGE [appointed by BHO, of course] STRUCK-DOWN
TEXAS VOTER ID LAW [which ABBOTT will, of course, APPEAL], a map may be used to DESTROY the Lefts
Voter ID Laws are Racist Myth. As the libs try to generalize voter discontent [NYT LEAD FRIDAY: Theme
of Fall Election: It's a Dark and Unsafe World] rather than to allow focus on BHO [the perpetrator],
House Dems are now In Triage Mode, for even Carney admits there is 'No Question' It Will Be A Good
Year for the GOP and Bad Year for Dems.

This is the complete text of how Politico has portrayed another dimension of panic:

LATINO GROUP HITS HAGAN, PRYOR NEXT? Latinos' furor with red-state
Senate Dems escalated this week when the grassroots advocacy group
Presente Action began running radio ads against Sen. Kay Hagan (D-
N.C.), targeting her push against executive action on immigration. The
Spanish-language ads will air for a week on two stations and tells

73

listeners: "Senator Hagan voted with the most anti-immigrant senators
in Congress in support of the continued deportations of our
community." Hagan, locked in one of the most competitive Senate races
this cycle, has for months publicly resisted Obama moving unilaterally
on immigration and that has earned her the wrath of groups like
Presente - which is encouraging Latinos to vote against Democratic
senators who have spoken out against executive action.

But the problem for Presente Action is money. The size of the ad buy
against Hagan is paltry - it clocks in somewhere in the four figures, the
group said - and they're trying to raise more cash to run ads. "If we're
able to raise more money, we'll focus on other states too," Presente's
managing director, Mariana Ruiz Firmat, said. Their next target would
be Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.), who has also publicly opposed executive
action.

Also, a Pro-Amnesty Group Attacked Pro-Amnesty Hagan With Spanish Language Ads.

As it was suggested that The Maroon 6 constitutes A Better Way To Look At The 2014 Senate Races,
problems abound for the Dems in Colorado [DENVER POST RIPPED UDALL FOR HARPING ON BIRTH
CONTROL, ENDORSED GOP CHALLENGER], Kansas ['Prairie Fire' Ted Cruz Kicks Off Sen. Pat Roberts'
Kansas Bus Tour], Kentucky [Grimes' Pro-Gun Statements Are Canned, Background Checks on Agenda
and Chuck Todd said Alison Lundergan Grimes Has "Disqualified Herself" for refusing to answer whether
she voted for President Obama or not], Louisiana [Landrieu A No Show After Campaign Shake Up],
Minnesota [Will ObamaCare's Unpopularity Cost Dems In Liberal Minnesota?], New Hampshire
[SHAHEEN TO OBAMA: STAY OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE], and in North Carolina [Tillis: 'We're Not Ready'
for Ebola, Obama and Hagan 'Have No Plan'].

Recalling a personal commitment to anti-tobacco initiatives [starting four decades ago],
it is again instructive to note how those who arose as our heroes are now betraying
their ideological [statist] underpinnings; SIX SENATORS ASKED FOR INCREASED
WARNINGS FOR E-CIGS in a letter to the Food and Drug Administration. These
Democrats [Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Barbara Boxer of California, Sherrod
Brown of Ohio, Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Jack
Reed of Rhode Islandbut not Ron Wyden of Oregan+ averred that labels should warn
consumers of 'the known dangers of nicotine use,' including risks to adolescent brain
development. The F.D.A. has proposed rules governing e-cigarettes, a product that has
shot up to nearly $3 billion in annual sales. E-cigarettes are battery-powered devices
used to heat nicotine for inhalation, but they do not burn tobacco, as do
cigarettes....According to the senators' letter, the F.D.A.'s proposed regulations, which
are not final, would include a warning that says: 'This product contains nicotine derived
from tobacco. Nicotine is an addictive chemical.' The senators say the warnings should
be more extensive." As extensively documented by Bill Godshall and myself [noted by
Tumblr], efforts to undermine use of vapes undermines a major method for addicted
smokers to avoid tar/CO inhalation, thereby precluding development of
cancer/Atherosclerosis by this pathway.

worriment about Americas future during his OReilly InterviewDick Morris believes Panetta's

progressive angst with Hillary Clinton.





Victimhood is No Virtue Jewish Ambivalence Toward Our Own Strength
Kol Nidre Sermon 5775, October 3, 2014

By Rabbi Eric Yanoff, Adath Israel

Shanah Tovah.

Israels Permanent Representative to the United Nations is a diplomat named Ron
Prosor. Have you heard of him? He is a man who holds an absolutely impossible position
Israels Permanent Representative to the UN. Sitting in meetings with his equivalents
from other nations in the region, who dont like words like Israel and Permanent
and Nation to be placed so close together.

So how does he get by? Ron Prosor gets by, admittedly, with a wicked sense of gallows
humor. He jokes about regional meetings, in which everyone shuffles uncomfortably
into the room, sits quietly, until the Egyptian representative cant take the tension any
longer, and stands up, bangs on the table, points at the representative from Qatar, and
says, YOU! You are causing such tzures (probably he doesnt use that word) you, with
your unlimited money, and the people you fund are trying to undermine MY

75

government! And the Saudi ambassador turns to the Syrian representative and says,
You are inviting the scrutiny of the West! The Jordanian turns to the Saudi and says,
Cant we just keep things quiet for a little? I have such a headache! And the Yemeni
guy well, Prosor says, Im not even sure the Yemeni guy knows where he is, and why
hes been invited to this party. And the Iraqi rep turns to the Iranians and the Turks
and he screams about a war against the Kurds, who arent even represented, so the
Iranians take their turn to scream about the Lebanese, who look to the Syrians before
they say a word, and the Kuwaitis scream at the Emir from Dubai in the interim.

And finally, Prosor says, EVERYONE in the room turns and looks to him the Permanent
Representative for Israel. YOU! they say. Youve been mighty quiet. What do you
have to say for yourself?

At which point, Ron Prosor, permanent observer to the chaos of nation lifting up word
and sometimes sword against nation, leans back in his chair and says, Gentlemen, dont
let me interrupt. Please continue. ((what) you were saying)

There is enough tzures in the Middle East that Ron Prosor can actually sit back and not
talk about Israel. But in truth, thats only because he has had this conversation more
times than he can count justifying our existence in a difficult region. And after this past
summer with Israels Operation Protective Edge, but not only because of this past
summer. Given the current political climate, but not only because of the politics we
as Jews are at a point in our history as a Jewish People where responsibly, we cannot
not talk about Israel.

Just before Rosh Hashanah, the New York Times circulated an article describing the
dilemma that rabbis are facing: How should we talk about Israel on the High Holidays?
The underlying implication in the article was that, this year especially, Rabbis HAVE TO
talk about Israel. But maybe Im weird. The truth is, I LOVE talking about Israel. I love
Israel. I love its importance in our history, and I love its modern struggles and its
miraculous achievements against all odds.

But it is true, that this year, talking about Israel has been so painful. I am hurting
because Israel is hurting. And yet, in solidarity, I am resolved to keep hurting because
the alternative is to give up caring. And that I refuse to do. That, we should all refuse to
do.

Friends, I wish I didnt have to give this sermon. But we, as a Jewish people and Jewish
community we are hurting. We are in pain. And so tonight, on these High Holidays
although some of you may want or expect a political briefing, Im not going to offer a
political briefing. Instead, I want to go much deeper, into the pain at what I think is at
the core of it all. To the questions that make us squirm, as we sit in, arguably, the most
comfortable Jewish community in the history of Judaism. You may be uncomfortable
with what Im about to say but as youll see that discomfort is actually the proof that
theres truth to it, at the core. Heres the core of it, to me:

Why does the world hate us? Why does the world hate us? It is an inversion (and a
perversion) of history to say that its because of Israel. Israel is the answer to millennia

76

of hatred and persecution it is the result, not the cause. But it is true that Israels
existence has become a pretext, certainly a lightning-rod, for the worlds anti-Semitism.
Its actually a fitting metaphor because removing the lightning-rod does not get rid of
the lightning, (in this case) of anti-Semitism; removing the lightning-rod would just make
it more likely that our homes and our lives would be burned and destroyed by fire the
lightning of anti-Semitism that strikes no matter what, and always has.

Burned, destroyed this is no metaphor for the worlds animosity toward us.
Synagogues in Paris firebombed? We have a word for that, even in 2014: There was a
pogrom in France this past summer. And this was far from the only anti-Semitic
provocation before, during, and after the war in Gaza this summer. The world is
uncomfortable with Israel at least in part because the world is uncomfortable with
Jewish strength. Let me say that again because it is painful in its simplicity, and difficult
to hear: The world doesnt like strong Jews Jews who do not live or die at the whim of
a czar or king or emperor or dictator, but who live in a time when we can self-assuredly
thrive as the determinants of our own fate as a people. And that confidence is what
Israel provides.

I didnt make this up: In 1903, the early modern Zionist Max Nordau (a contemporary of
Theodor Herzl) envisioned what he called a Jewry of Muscle literally, tough Jews,
[muscles] who literally went to the gym, and got strong, to be able to assert ourselves
and defend ourselves when needed.

There is nothing new about the need to be able to defend ourselves. But there IS a more
troubling, modern trend that, I believe, cuts to the core of our pain over Israel, the
reality that Israel is no longer the unifying source of pride, but a division within our
community. The world would rather us be victims. Israel stands in the way of that; the
Jewish State sees itself not only as a haven, but if need be, a defender, of Jews
throughout the world.

The world would rather us be victims. But that is not a new problem. The challenge we
face NOW is, actually even worse: WE as a Jewish People have internalized that critique,
accepted it as our reality so that WE feel a need to apologize for our own strength and
our ability to self-determine our fate through a strong, secure Israel.

Friends, its Kol Nidre: Tonight is the night when we stop worrying about everyone elses
imperfections, and how they might explain or even justify our own weaknesses. Tonight
we start looking in the mirror, and seeing how WE have contributed to the parts of our
existence that are unacceptable, untenable, unsustainable. And so, its one thing for the
world to believe that the only good Jew is a weak Jew (a small, offensive step up from
the only good Jew is a dead Jew). But it is less excusable for US AS JEWS to have
internalized this idea of the virtue of being a victim.

Now, some of you look skeptical. Let me illustrate it for you: The contemporary author
Nathan Englander recently published a story entitled How We Avenged the Blums.
Englander is only a couple of years older than I but in the story he imagines a scene
from the middle of the last century: Do any of you remember running (not walking)
home from school, to avoid getting beaten up by an anti-Semitic bully? Do you

77

remember an older brother, maybe, who took a few hits because of such anti-Semitism?
[PAUSE]

Englander writes of a bunch of Jewish kids who find their friend, Zvi Blum, beaten
bloody and they vow revenge. They organize themselves into a little Jewish army,
they train, and they prepare themselves for the day when, knowing that the anti-Semite
was going to wait for them, instead, they skip shul, lie in wait for him first, and beat him
senseless. And then Englander, as narrator, writes the words that have troubled me all
summer long: As I watched [the Anti-Semite, bloodied and now writhing before
us,] I knew Id always feel that to be broken was better than to break. To be broken
was better than to break, he writes and then he adds a gloss, a comment: To be
broken was better than to break [this was] MY FAILING.

Englander is observing something different here: That somehow, we have accepted
upon ourselves that, Jewishly, there is some virtue in being a victim. But this is not the
case certainly not anymore. Indeed, for our enemies (and yes, sadly, not by our choice,
but by their declaration, we have enemies) for those who wish us harm, our idea of
virtuous victimhood may uncover our greatest weakness, despite our considerable
ability to defend ourselves.

Today, we are blessed to live in an era where Israel DOES have the power to break
others, when need be, when threatened. There is no doubt about that. Rockets and
tunnels and stones and terrorism DO kill but we have a strong Israel that can defend
herself. That was what this past summer was about Israels moral obligation to defend
its citizenry. Over two hundred rockets fell unanswered in the single MONTH before
Israel responded; thousands of rockets over past few years. What would you do? What
could ANY of us be expected to do? And then for the world and the media to actually
invert the narrative? Ive heard it described this way, when Hamas turns to the world
with pictures of their victims some real and tragic, but some doctored, some actually
pictures from Syrias victims over the past few years: Its like when a teacher breaks up a
playground fight, and demands to know what happened, and the instigator says, It all
started when he hit me BACK. (Ill pause. Let that one sink in: It all started when he
hit me BACK.)

It all started when Israel struck back?! And yet that is the narrative that the world
swallows. You know what? FINE! Thats what the world wants to believe because
somewhere, deep inside, a lot of people just dont like us and they really dont like it
when were strong and we stand up for ourselves.

I cant change that. But it bothers me that WE ALSO accept that narrative, to some
extent. Since 1967 (with the exception of the Yom Kippur War in 1973), we have been
allowed to see ourselves as strong, as masters of our own destiny, as asserters of the
right of self-determination and yet we spend more time than we should apologizing
for that strength, atoning for it (if you will; tis the season).

We can and should be STRONG. The fact that the world is uncomfortable with that,
even blames us for anti-Semitism because of our strength and self-determinism? Well
thats the worlds problem. But the fact that WE are ambivalent, sheepish and

78

squeamish, about our own strength is intolerable and self-defeating. It accounts for
something more damaging than anti-Semitism from the outside something more
insidious, something that has sowed the seeds of Jewish tragedy throughout history
and that is dissent among our people. Israel should not be the most divisive element of
Jewish identity; it should be the most bolstering, pride-inducing, unifying aspect of
modern Jewish life. And we JEWS are guilty of making it that divisive by not embracing
our strength, but rather being embarrassed by it, sheepishly accepting and internalizing
the worlds external critiques (which are unbalanced, only directed at Israel, and
untenable in the content of their very claims) and then turning those same critiques
on ourselves, from the inside.

ALL of us are complicit in this divisiveness over our own power: Regardless of our
individual politics, we are all uncomfortable with strength: If youre on the left, you are
uncomfortable with a show of so-called disproportionate strength by the Jewish state.
If youre on the right you are uncomfortable that we were too uncomfortable, too
ambivalent about our strength to get the job done decisively. But either way no
matter our individual politics we are ALL uncomfortable with a show of Jewish
strength.

It is certainly a point of debate, but I personally do not believe that we are, right now, at
a moment of an existential, live-or-die, kill-or-be-killed cliff either in Israel or in the
United States. (European Jewry may be closer to this and as part of the worldwide
Jewish People, we should consider how we and Israel should participate in their defense
and advocacy.) While we are not in a kill-or-be-killed moment, Hamas has made it
painfully clear that they will not stomach a live-and-let-live. But the existential question
that **IS** upon us is this question of how we will embrace Jewish strength. It is not
that Israel is always right, by all definitions. Indeed, David Ben Gurion envisioned this,
when he said, We will have come into our own as a nation when we have Jewish
thieves and Jewish prostitutes conducting their business in Hebrew.

The business of being a real nation, able to defend ourselves against historically
unparalleled animus and able to defend its citizens worldwide against the worlds oldest
hatred it is messy business. Yes, tragically undeserving victims of Hamas on BOTH
sides of the Gazan border were killed Israeli and Palestinian victims of Hamas. There
are no clear answers out of this mess. And we should always work to be better, even as
we ARE more humane than any other army in the history of armies (warning our targets
before they are hit Can you imagine Napoleon telling a village in Europe or Russia,
Nous venons Were coming.?! Or Paul Revere riding his horse toward the British
sitting in commandeered pubs outside Lexington shouting, in the name of fairness and
proportionality, Take arms! The Americans are coming! The Americans are coming! Or
American drones over Tora Bora giving leaflets or warnings or text messages before a
strike against the Taliban or ISIS, for example?!)

And still, the world criticizes holding us to a higher standard. But you know
something? I WANT to be held to a higher standard. I am PROUD to expect more from
the Israeli Defense Forces than I would from any other army. I am SAD that Golda Meirs
observation still holds that We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We
cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children [think, the human shields that

79

Hamas leaders proudly accepted as a war crime]. Golda concluded that quote, We will
only have peace with the Arabs (and I would say, not ALL Arabs, but certainly Hamas
and other extremist terrorists who are in charge and who victimize their own people as
well as Israelis) We will only have peace when they when they love their children more
than they hate us.

We ARE the people who choose life instead of loving death; despite the fact that the
extremist terrorists see that as our weakness, I see it as our strength.

And yet, even so, this was a messy, sad, summer of despair. We are not perfect. But we
would be among the first to help rebuild a Gazan hospital or school or mosque that did
NOT have an armory in its basement or terror tunnels below that basement. We can
strive to rebuild and be better but we should never retreat from, never atone for, this
FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION the right to chart our destiny as a
people, not as subservient to another rulers whims or prejudices, but as a strong,
unapologetic Jewish People. I have my things to tap my chest and say Al Chet about
this Yom Kippur, and Israel has her imperfections too but for this right to self-
determination of the Jewish future, as a Rabbi and as a Jew, I will never apologize.

We should never apologize for our strength because WE have been the people who
were too weak, too dependent on the always-too-fleeting kindness of others. We have
been the Yazidis in Iraq: We have been on a mountain, surrounded and besieged by
people intending to starve us or kill us: For us as Jews, that mountain was Massada,
1940 years ago. There was a time, when the narrative of Massada praised the bravery of
martyrs who chose to take their own lives instead of allowing the Romans to pillage and
rape and enslave us. That martyrdom was praised as a pinnacle of Jewish strength.

But no more: The modern Israeli narrative of Massada is not to aspire to martyrdom
NO: Do you know what Israelis say about Massada? They declare, Sheinit lo tipol
Mtzada Massada should never fall again. Modern Israelis pledge that we will NEVER
AGAIN be faced with such existential threat. Never again should we be forced into a
position of life or death. We should be strong enough to never again be so trapped.

Yes, that never again is certainly a call to the rest of the world, that the atrocities of
the Holocaust should never be repeated. But it is equally a call to US: It is on US to be
unapologetically strong, to chart our own destiny, to ensure that we are strong enough
to never again be victimized. That is why, in Israel, the name for Holocaust
Commemoration Day is not Yom Ha-Shoah, a day to remember those lost in the Shoah
but rather Yom Ha-Shoah ve-ha-Gevurah Day for Commemorating those lost in the
Shoah and those who were HEROIC in that dark time. The date of Yom HaShoah is not
the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz (as it is marked worldwide) but the
anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. That is what modern Judaism means when
we declare Never Again. We vow never to be victims. And never to apologize for the
strength that ALLOWS us to never again be victims. And that strength, that confidence
on the part of Jews worldwide, has one source: the Modern Jewish State of Israel.

Yes, it is true that tomorrow we will recite a liturgy extolling the martyrs of Jewish
history but because of Israel, we do not hold that martyrdom up as an ideal. Believe

80

me: Neither Rabbi Akiva of ancient times, nor Mordechai Anielewicz of the Warsaw
Ghetto Uprising, relished their fates as martyrs. They would rather have lived, to teach,
to thrive in a sovereign, secure Jewish nation!

Because of Israel, it is no longer a virtue to be a martyr, to survive against all odds
and the recent miraculous successes of the Modern State of Israel (in defense, in
technology, in human rights, and in providing a haven for world Jews and a help for
other victims of tragedies, regardless of whether those victims are Jewish, in places as
far-flung as Haiti and South Sudan and Washington State) all of this only serves to
show what we can be when we shed the yoke of virtuous victimhood when we
reject the idea that there is greater merit in being weak and victimized, that it is better,
more virtuous, to be broken. When we are threatened, and there is no choice, and we
exhaust all patience and other options nowadays, there is no virtue in victimhood. It is
no longer better to be broken than it is to break. That is what Golda Meir whispered to
then-Junior Senator Biden, as they were standing for a photo op: Joe, she said, you
know, we have a secret weapon. (Biden had heard of the textile factory in Dimona
was Golda going to reveal the truth to him about Israels nuclear ambiguity, right there,
in front of the cameras?) But no; she said, Our secret weapon is that we have no other
place to go. We should not enjoy our strength and we dont. We should not want to
fight and we dont want to fight. But when it is necessary, when we have no other
choice, no other place to go, then in defending this land, we cannot be squeamish, we
cannot be ambivalent; we cannot apologize for our strength.

Because if we can get to the point of being proud of our strong Jewish self-
determination of our future we will make history. Not since the time of Kings David
and Solomon, almost 3000 years ago, have we Jews been unapologetically strong in the
ability to determine our own destiny as a people. King Solomon didnt feel the need to
atone for that privilege. Neither should we. We have to get good and confident at being
strong. King David was once young David, who stood up to Goliath. The young David
then had certain strengths resourcefulness, brains, and quickness of wit and of
movement that led him to his first improbable victory. Later in his career, even as the
victories became more probable because he gained an army and a crown and legitimacy
as king he was still the same David, and he did not apologize for those strengths.

It is true King David did not get to build the Temple because he had blood on his
hands, from unapologetically asserting the Israelite Peoples right to self-determination
of our fate. His son, King Solomon, built the Temple. And by that measure, everyone
wants to be King Solomon. Who wouldnt? Living in a more secure time, with more
riches, more luxury, more wisdom and culture, more wives. ( - Okay, maybe he had
his hands full on that last one.) Everyone wants to be King Solomon. But its easy to
forget that King Solomon could only do that because his father had set him upon a more
secure foundation.

You know, maybe Gods decision that David would leave the Temple building to King
Solomon was not intended to be a punishment for King David. First of all, take it from
someone who knows, after this past summers capital improvements: Temple Building is
no easy task. But no: It was not a punishment for King David; it was just a fact, that HE
and HIS GENERATION would be responsible for asserting the right of the People of Israel

81

to live in safety and security on our own land, and THEN in the next generation, that of
Solomon, we would get to work building the divine Home. The future generations
idealism and success is reliant upon, predicated upon the earlier generations hard work:
How could we ever seek to bring God and Gods Home to an unstable, insecure
Jerusalem?

So first, David had to do his part and even as he did it, the Ark of the Covenant led the
way into battle, holding us to a higher standard of purpose and values and humanity,
even in the difficult and messy act of fighting for security and self-determination. But
once we were finished fighting, King David gave way to a next generation, that of King
Solomon whose name means peace, Shlomo. Whose reign was marked by a
pinnacle of cultural, intellectual and spiritual development most significantly, the
construction of the Holy Temple, where the Ark of the Covenant rested, finally,
peacefully, in the Holy of Holies. Only after David did the messy work, could Solomon
properly welcome God into our midst.

Wed all RATHER be living in a King Solomon time. Who wouldnt? But the fact is, we live
in a King David time when we need to unapologetically assert our strength and our
right to the self-determination of our future. We need to work hard as Davids now, not
relishing it, but without reservation or apology so that someday, we (or our children or
our grandchildren) can be Solomons.

Friends, I wish I didnt have to give this sermon. I wish we were as soberingly, sadly
resolved to Israels strong defense as almost all Israelis were this summer. I imagine that
these words have challenged, maybe even angered some of you, to hear that we have
to be Davids to let future generations enjoy being Solomons. Certainly this message may
have frustrated many of you and know that I too am frustrated. I do not want to be a
David. I am a wanna-be Solomon. For that, too for our desire to live one day in an era
of peace - we should not apologize.

I pray that now, we are resolute so that next year, or sometime soon, that we be
privileged to witness that shalom. Oseh shalom God, You who can bring Peace, let us
be your Partners in bringing peace, security, trust, and hope to Israel, to her neighbors,
to Europe, to us here in the United States and throughout the world. *SING OSEH
SHALOM BIMROMAV+

Vimru: AMEN.

Pennsylvania education funding: a look at the facts
By State Rep. Garth Everett

{Reprinted because the original is located behind a pay-wall.}


Since 2011, when Gov. Tom Corbett took office and Republicans regained the majority
in the state House, I have heard ad nauseam about how Corbett cut education by a
billion dollars or Corbett is underfunding education. Lets just take a look at the facts.

First, governors do not enact budgets by themselves. In February of each year, the
governor proposes a budget to start the process. Following that, both the House and
Senate appropriations committees have public hearings with each department and
agency of state government to review in detail each proposed appropriation. In
addition, both the House and Senate committee chairmen take feedback from their
respective committee members and from all members of their respective chambers.

When that review process is complete, both the House and Senate develop their own
revised budgets, and the negotiation process begins among the House and Senate
leaders and the governors office. To say that this can be an intense process would be a
vast understatement. Each chamber and member of the General Assembly and the
governor have differing views and priorities on both revenues and expenditures, and
getting 102 votes in the House, 26 in the Senate and the governor on board is an
exhausting undertaking.

My point in outlining the budget process is simply to point out that the enacted budget
is not the governors budget. It is the product of a process, not the dictate of one
person, though I will agree that the governors one veto vote carries a lot more weight
than my one vote on the Appropriations Committee or on the floor of the House.

Next, lets look at the facts of state education funding in the budgets enacted under the
last two governors. In particular, lets look at Gov. Ed Rendells last three education
budgets and the four under Corbett. In the 2009-10 budget, Rendell asked for, and the
Democratic House approved, a reduction in state education spending from $9.6 billion
to $9.2 billion. This reduction was backfilled with $6.55 million in federal stimulus
funds to bring about an apparent increase in spending on education.

Again in the 2010-11 budget, Rendell asked for and the Democratic House approved a
reduction in state education spending from the previous years $9.2 billion to $8.9
billion. Again this reduction was backfilled with $1 billion in federal stimulus funds to
bring about another apparent increase in spending on education.

The problems with using short-term stimulus funds are many.

First, it sets school districts up for failure. Despite warnings that these stimulus dollars
would go away after two years and that state funding would go back to prestimulus
levels, many school districts folded these stimulus funds into their operating budgets,
hired new teachers and staff, took on new debt and generally increased spending to
levels that would not be sustainable without significant school property tax increases.


84

Second, from a state budget perspective, relying on stimulus funds to be part of the
general education funding line also set the state budget up for failure by artificially
inflating the revenue for the overall state budget. In the 2009-10 and 2010-11 budgets,
the $6.55 million and $1 billion in federal stimulus funds that were used in the
education line item were treated as revenue and shifted into increased spending in
other line items of the budget.

Fast forward to 2011-12: Corbett takes office, the majority in the House shifts to the
Republicans, and the $1 billion in federal stimulus money for education go away.
Because of this loss of $1 billion and other smoke and mirrors budgeting by the
previous governor and House, the new governor and House are faced with a $4 billion
deficit going into their first budget. This results in a lot of belt-tightening in departments
and agencies across the board, particularly in the Department of Public Welfare.

To avoid the budget crunch both school districts and the state faced in 2011-12 and in
subsequent budget years, those stimulus funds in 2009-11 should not have been used as
revenue for spending in the general fund but rather used as block grants for specific
capital investments at school districts above and beyond our normal state education
funding. In that way, we would not have ended up with artificially high levels of
spending that cannot be sustained with our existing revenue stream.

Now, lets take a look at education spending during Corbetts years in office. The first
Corbett budget in 2011-12 included $9.4 billion of state funds for education, an
increase of $500 million over the previous years state spending in the last Rendell
budget. In the next Corbett budget of 2012-13, state spending on education was
again increased $300 million to $9.7 billion, the highest amount of state funding in
history. Again in the 2013-14 budget, state spending on education was increased to
$9.98 billion, another record. Finally, in this years budget for 2014-15, we increased
state spending on education to an all-time high of $10.5 billion.

So, the question remains: Where does the claim of Tom Corbetts $1 billion cut in
education come from? The only answer is that the facts do not bear out the claim, and
that the only $1 billion cut in education was the loss of federal stimulus funding in 2011.

PornGate is flourishing, noting the call by the PA SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE [after reading FILES
ON 'HUNDREDS' OF DIRTY STATE EMAILS] to ACT against MCCAFFERY, noting this backgrounder:

AG-KANE SAID UNION STATUS DETERMINES PUBLICITY OVER PORN DISTRIBUTION

You may have heard about the scandal dubbed "Porngate" in Harrisburg (ABC27 video).

What happened was the Attorney General received Right to Know requests from various
newspapers seeking porn emails distributed over state computers by current and
former employees of the Attorney General's office. The requests were denied but Ms.
Kane selectively released the names of eight (8) former employees who allegedly
received or distributed porn emails.

While the Attorney General had no problem throwing eight Corbett confidantes under

85

the proverbial bus, she chose NOT to release the names of 30 of her own staffers saying
that Union contracts prevented it. She used her discretion to bring publicity onto people
selectively and the basis of her decision, in part, was Union status. If former employees
like Kevin Harley, Frank Noonan, etc. were covered by Union agreements then she
wouldn't have brought publicity to them. This is essentially what she is saying.

This is politics of the worst lowest kind. It is our Chief Law Enforcement Officer engaging
in the selective application of law ahead of an election.

Today we filed a Right to Know request of Attorney General Kane seeking (among other
things) to know the annual salaries of the public employee porn distributors inside the
AG's office. We're not seeking their names or the emails themselves. But we want to
know how much the porn distributors that the AG is hiding are being paid.

We believe that other Right to Know requests may be needed. And it is entirely possible
that different requests filed by the same or different Requesters could lead the public to
find out who the porn distributors are that the Attorney General is hiding in her office.

The bottom line is this. The AG has publicly staked out a position that says she will hang
a current or former employee out to dry in the court of public opinion if they don't have
a Union contract and received a porn email (and do so without providing any evidence
of wrongdoing). Yet if you're a Union guy in her office you can distribute and receive
porn in secret.

This is not acceptable. The Attorney General can either answer our Right to Know
request to find out how much public money is being paid to the Union porn distributors
inside her office or we will file suit against her.

The budding-revolt against the GOPs Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi [reinforcing claims by
Wagner] was endorsed by Sen. Don White (R), who wrote, 'To be clear, I will not support your re-
election as Majority Leader should you choose to run.' Although PILEGGI RESPONDED *White mistaken
re: status of several bills+, WHITE countered ['Pileggi has found a way not to let Gov. Corbett have any
victories at all']; perhaps as a result, Sen. Eichelberger (R) averred 'lack of action is embarrassing [re:
getting] standard conservative measures passed.'

Your Rush Limbaugh Echo for Thursday, 10/9/14
_____________________________________________________________
Segment#1: Are the next journalists our current comedians?

A lot of information on Ebola, some of it conflicting. The Regime *WH+ creates panic, while saying Dont
panic.

86


Then another WH cover-up and Drive-bys are outraged about the prostitution ring with Secret Service.
They were part of the cover-up, not investigating. They view everything through the prism of propping
up Obama.

Snerdley, did you see how they were willing to give John Stewart a blank check? It was all about
attracting the young demographics. The newscasters of today are coming from comedians. They all
think they are Edward R Morrow. How do you think serious journalists view this?

They all think they are serious journalists when they are not!

CBS buries the results of their own poll: Obama sinksso does the Democrat Party.

Republicans end up sounding like Democrats, because of the high-paid consultants. Mitt Romney won
Independents majestically, but the 40% that was to be core Republicans became 32% because 4million
Conservatives did not even show up. It gives the LIE to thinking Independents win the national
elections. [Should have fired the consultants, and listened to Rush!]

Push-polls are not pollsrather they are bought and paid for leading news stories. Do you wonder
why their own poll was not reported?

Sam Brownback is rising. For years, Clinton visits have not been helping. Tom Cotton has big lead.
>>> Other Republicans are also doing well in their races.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#2: The Democrat Party is not democratic

Our buddy was on NPR and was questioned about Democratic vs Democrat party. ((Clip: I do listen to
Rush Limbaugh where it began.)) Was that Diane Reems?
>>> [Rush is willing to take the credit, since they are not democratic.]


_____________________________________________________________
Seg#11: How can the World Bank stop Ebola?

No need to keep the Joe Kline article, having discussed it. There is a CNN discussion, TX patient didnt
have to die. Never mind the fact (its out there) nurses and doctors are in close proximity. 7,500 cases
out there, and 3,500 dead. People in the hospital do not run away, and it is not racism.

When the guy came back to TX to get treated, he did get treated. A lot is being taken for granted in the
media. There are those in Africa that take extreme measures, like wearing hazardous gear, and they get
it and die anyway.

Thomas Duncan didnt have to die is pure speculation. He was treated twice in TX. Thomas Duncan
died because he didnt tell the doctors the truth, at first. Left-wing journalists cant wait to rip into
USA.


87

French News Agency says the Ebola outbreak is like nothing else, going back to AIDS. IMF, UN, HOW
need to be involved. Is it hard to get or easy to get? What does the World Bank do to stop Ebola? I
know, I know: follow the money.

There may be more cases in the United States? Didnt Obama say No worry; it wont get to USA. 59%
of Blacks believe there would have already have been an cure if Ebola had started in America or Europe
(the Economist poll.). See what racists we are?

At the World Bank Forum on the Ebola outbreak ((Clip: In the 30 yrs Ive been working, this is nothing
else except AIDS. We have to do what we can to avoid another AIDS etc.)) He goes on to say making it
hard to fly out, makes it hard to fly in because you cant fly out. I have no doubt this guy is trying.
>>> You could have special flights for doctors and specialists.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#12: The smoking nanny for Mayor Doomberg

Do you know where Dr. Thomas Freeden came from? He was the health advisor for Mayor Doomberg,
NYC. He was right there banning smoking in bars. Why cant he crack down on Ebola as hard as he did
on smoking? There are AIDS privacy acts. He was the smoking nanny for Mayor Doomberg and
succeeded in banning smoking in the largest city in America.

Now, he thinks it is mean to keep Ebola people out of America.
>>> [ED: Once again, Political Correctness is about to kill all of us.]

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#13: Fascinating how the minds of people work, when they do think

BTW, in addition to banning NYC smoking, he banned transfats. They now post caloric intake to help
you decide. This is who the guy is: smokers are public enemy #1 and well banish them with smiles on
our faces. There are no deaths from second-hand smoke. It was studied in many countries and the
study was buried, but we got the cached report.

Caller: They are not un-informed voters, they want the handouts.
They are informed sponges. Vote Democrat to keep the gravy train going.

They dont know what they dont know. Nobody thinks they are uninformed. Man on the street by
Jay Leno and Hannity show what some people dont know.

I did come up with the term, and they never criticize because they always think it is somebody else.

Caller-low-info-gal: People have had Ebola for a year, but now it comes just before an election, to red
states. Accidental? I dont think so.
So they will stay home from voting? Why are you laughing, Mr Snerdley?


>>> Im fascinated with how the minds of people work, thinking.
Do they think? Or do they just react?
_____________________________________________________________

Seg#14: He banned all smoking in NYC

QUESTION: When do you update the look of your home or office? [ad]
Go to Blinds.com to cover the windowsblock UV but not the light.

Caller-AZ: H1N1 2009 bird flu with Kathleen Sebelius, cough in your sleeve. Then you had Joe Biden
saying he would not allow his family to fly in a plane because it was a closed space.
Was it raising consciousness or fear mongering? And now, there is nothing at all to worry about until
you see symptoms. They contradict themselves in stark ways. My favorite: this guy will not go out of
his way to ban travel to USA but will ban all smoking in NYC because it could kill you in 30 years.

>>> You have to understand Liberalism and political correctness.

From the Rush Limbaugh Morning Update: "Reprehensible"

A House race in Arizona gained plenty of attention due to the way the Republican candidate called out
her opponent. Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Wendy Rogers ran an ad with video of American James Foley
kneeling before a knife-wielding ISIS terrorist, shortly before he was beheaded.

The announcer said: Terrorist threats are growing. Are we secure? Are we protected? The voiceover
noted that keeping the country safe and secure is the job of Congress, but that Democrat Kyrsten
Sinema hasnt done her job. Shes allowed her liberal agenda to get in the way of our safety.

Quicker than you can say, Way to go, Democrats threw a nationwide hissy fit. The Democrat
Congressional Campaign Committee deployed spokesman Tyrone Gale: It is reprehensible and
unbecoming of anyone seeking elected office to use the footage of an American tragedy for political
gain, and Wendy Rogers should remove this ad immediately and apologize to Mr. Foleys family, he
said.

Democrats raised such a ruckus that Lt. Col. Rogers edited the Foley clip out of the ad. But not before
sending her own spokesman out to proclaim that this election is about how President Obamas failed
leadership internationally has made our country less safe.

Lt. Col Rogers: theres a reason Democrats were howling mad. And it isnt because your ad was
reprehensible. Its because Obamas policies are reprehensible, and the results are reprehensible.
You hit a nerve because your ad was effective!

[ED: Remember the name, Wendy Rogers, and send her campaign $$.]

"There's a general lack of trust in positions of authority in this government already. There's no trust in
running the economy. There's no trust in policies that grow the economy. There's no trust in foreign
policy. There's no trust period, and it spans the political establishment."

"The book is called Rush Revere and the American Revolution, and it's the best yet. And that's saying
something because the first two were exceptional, just like the subject matter, but this is so good,
folks."

[ED: We immediately went to Amazon, where we are One Click customers, and ordered one audio

"Ebola is the biggest obstacle to amnesty right now. Ebola spreading is going to put pressure on the
Regime to really control the borders, really control who gets in here, and that can't be allowed to
happen, folks, it just can't."

"I want to share with you just a little bit about book three, Rush Revere and the American Revolution. If
you haven't read the first books, book one and book two, you really should, because it'll make three all
that much better."

"I've always been intrigued with the possibility of informing young people as soon as I could get to them,
as soon as they were capable, the truth of this country. 'Cause I love it. It is great. It's a fantastic story. It
doesn't need any embellishment. It doesn't need any exaggeration. It's unique. There has never, ever
before in the history of humanity been anything like our country."

"When we first started this series, we talked a lot about how we could get younger people to enjoy
history, and, in a way, not even know it was history. But more so, just an incredible adventure, to take
American history and turn it into an incredible adventure that young readers would want to be a part
of."

"Is there any way that you can measure and conclude the country is stronger today after six years of
Obama? Nope. Therefore, job done. Obama, job done. Mission accomplished."

"Have I ever on this program even intimated that Barack Obama purposely allowed and wants Ebola in
this country? Have I ever said that? Well, then why is Alan Colmes asking Dr. Anthony Dr. Fauci to react
to that?"

"This book is also a little bit more. Its timing and its message and its dedication is all about the men and
women of our great armed forces. Never forgotten here, never taken for granted, always in awe of
uniformed military personally on this program, forever. Such profound respect for the sacrifices they
offer and, in many cases, make. So this book is in their honor. This book was written for them, about
them, and with great respect and love."

"The people that voted for Obama who now claim he's failed don't realize that Obama wanted to
fundamentally transform America with his presidency, and who can deny that he's done that even
beyond his wildest dreams?"

"We live in the greatest country on earth. We have an incredible history, and our mission with these
books is to tell the story of America, the story of our founding, and do so in a very relatable way so that

the young reader can really get to know the exceptional patriots that paved the way for all of us and
made all of this possible."

"I would say that in Obama's world, when he and Michelle are up there in the residence quietly
reflecting, I think that they look at what they've done as a resounding success. I think they have

of the erroneous health news that has been reported to the American people."

https://www.scribd.com/doc/242732508/Thoughts-XII-Kurdistan-Midterms-BHO-Guns-Tea-Party-
Patriots

Dr. Sherkoh Abbas [President of the Kurdish National Assembly of Syria] and Hon. Karwan Zabari
[Iraqi Kurdish regional Government Ambassador to Washington] will discuss Syrian Kurds & The
Future of The Middle East on the Lisa Benson Show Today @ 4PM EDT. Kurds in Syria say US not doing
enough to fight the Islamic State [per Dr. Sherkoh Abbas] as threat of ethnic cleansing persists]. Even the
British press has recognized the Kurds were Abandoned by Liberals and NDP.

I honestly dont know what else can be done to disseminate word that BHO is not only
withholding support from the Kurds, but BHO is also arming the Free Syrian Army that
has leadership which is openly anti-Kurd and which is filled with Islamists, per
documentation previously provided [following translation from the Arabic by Dr. Abbas]

It is necessary again to note that, regarding the War against the Islamic State, the US strategy is in
tatters as militants march on; any meaningful Syria response is stalled under a micromanaging White
House, Obama appears not to be trying to win the war, and scenarios have been promulgated that
suggest the SYRIAN civil war could yield World War 3. Indeed, when Erdoan equated the threats of the
Islamic State and the Kurds [one week ago], it is no wonder that he is enjoying watching the Kurds suffer
in Koban; to compound matters, Iran is arming Lebanon.

Illustrating the fact that BHOs Foreign Policy is in tatters, also, is a report that explains
why the US Transition Strategy in 'Forgotten' Afghan War a Recipe for Failure and word
that Putin is Deploying Nukes to Crimea while Finland says Russian warships intercepted
research vessel. Ominous also is the fact that FRANCE IS FACING AN UNPRECEDENTED
EXODUS that is compounded by the steady rise in the number of emigrants.

At an international conference for Gaza reconstruction to be held in Cairo [including the USA, Russian
Federation, European Union, and Egypt], Israel is prepared to pledge never again to bomb the Gaza Strip
if [1]The Gaza Strip is demilitarized, with strict limits on the size of the exclusive PA security force
deployed in the area as well as restrictions on the weapons that this force has, and [2]The PA security
force acts to maintain security and thwart attacks against Israel originating from the Gaza Strip. Contrary
to recent statements by American and other officials, this Israeli guaranty not to bomb the Gaza Strip is
not conditioned on "progress" in reaching a "two state solution"; instead, Israel made this guarantee
without adding a single condition to the agreements that the PLO has already signed with Israel,
agreements witnessed by many of the key participants in this upcoming Cairo conference. Mahmud
Abbas has repeatedly, publicly declared that the reunited PA will honor agreements. Also, for strategic
reasons, per President El-Sis, Egypt will not relinquish Gaza.

It may be recalled that I discounted polling that decried BB, acquired just after the
cease-fire after the 50-day war and, as expected, it rebounded; it may also be recalled
that I predicted the major post-war scandal would be based on the claim that the IDF
grossly misrepresented the severity of the underground breach and, indeed, it is now
recognized that the Gaza Tunnel Threat was More Severe than Thought.

The counter-messaging is based on claims of Islamophobia, a Meme that constitutes the New
McCarthyism; even serial-plagiarist Fareed Zakaria has admitted there is a cancer of extremism within
Islam today. *True to form, however, Zakarias discussion of Panettas book *this-a.m. on his GPS show
aired on CNN] was focused on how he betrayed BHO; discussion of content was eschewed, except to
claim that all presidents are becoming insular. Thus, he demonstrated the rhetorical techniques of
tangential-thinking and generalization [plus ethical egalitarianism] to run-interference for BHO.]

As a Watergate-Freak *I thought Deep Throat was Alexander Butterfield+, The Hidden

Lane; its a great read, and illustrates why truth seems always to be stranger than
fiction *and, thus, why I dont feel Im missing much by watching cable-news/political-
satires instead of TV-dramas/sit-coms]. Newsweek's cover-story is summarized thusly:
"[A] document has surfaced in an unlikely place that sheds sorely needed light on
[Woodward and Bernstein's] reporting ... The 15-page draft article is an unprecedented
guide to how the Post's reporting duo utilized the many anonymous sources they had
painstakingly cultivated. ... Three of the [sources] are surprises. They include one of the
three original prosecutors in the Watergate burglary, a onetime lawyer for the
defendants, and a Republican operative whose name is probably unknown even to
those steeped in Watergate lore. Taken together and put in context, these sources
reveal not only the true anatomy of a Woodstein story but also an important truth
about the reporting that won The Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize in 1973."

The Clinton White House tried just about everything to pull itself through the Monica
Lewinsky scandal. A trove of documents released Friday by the Clinton Presidential
Library sheds light on the White Houses internal machinations as it coped with the
scandal from efforts to discredit rivals and attack the media to attempts to boost
West Wing spirits by sharing supportive op-eds or the unfavorable poll numbers for
special prosecutor Kenneth Starr.

As discussed previously, last Thursdays meeting of the Tea Party Patriots [Eastern MontCo] was replete

I continue to blog on two websites focused on Corbett/Wolf, candidates for PA-Gov

team of Dems who regularly attack Corbett regarding, primarily, Education and Fracking.

A simplified way to confirm the positive-GOP trends in the Battle for the Senate is simply to note that, of
the nine pending races, the GOP needs to win six while the most recent polling of eight are favorable. A
Republican takeover of the Senate would result in most committees being chaired by a Republican who
is not the current ranking member, setting off a game of musical chairs. There has been particular
attention paid lately to Iowa [Iowa Republican State Sen. Joni Ernst (R) inched 1% ahead [47-46] among
likely voters over Rep. Bruce Braley (D) [per the Des Moines Register; Hawkish Iowans Good News for
Joni Ernst and GOP; Ernst Open to Tax Increases and Wouldn't Repeal DACA; and Braley Press Release

JAMES CARVILLE said Ted Cruz is "the most talented and fearless Republican politician"
since Reagan.

Most everyone blames this slide on BHO, as illustrated by Pirros claim that Disrespect for the Military is
'a Tone That's Set in Washington'; this concern is corroborated when it is noted that BHO had still not
called his Mexican counterpart to raise the issue of Sgt. Tahmooressis ongoing imprisonment, as of
10/1/2014, despite his having PTSD, and BHO hasn't called his mother, despite media attention and a
WhiteHouse.gov petition receiving 134,000 signatures asking for him to pursue her son's release.

Contrasting with what would be expected in a nation engaged in a [losing] war, note
that the Executives [POTUS/Veep/spouse] are focused on $-raising for the midterms:

THE PRESIDENT'S WEEK AHEAD, per the White House: "[This] morning,

Midterms-Ebola

Key-quotes from the SUNDAY SHOWS emerged regarding the Islamic State, with McCain claiming ISIS is
winning and, thus, a fundamental re-evaluation of what we're doing is needed. Dempsey admitted
Ground troops could be helpful in ISIS fight for, after an enemy adapts, its harder to target. Rice claimed
the fight against the Islamic State will 'take time; there are going to be good days, bad days, victories
and setbacks.' LEON PANETTA said Obama needs 'the heart of a warrior' and D.C. is now at its worst.
Regarding Ebola, McCain called for an 'Ebola czar'; McCaul eyed suspension of visas from West
Africa and advised sending U.S. Ebola patients to specialized centers; Frieden is 'deeply concerned' by
new Ebola case in Dallas and, as a result, the CDC is now monitoring other hospital workers. Fauci said
'The system worked' because this case occurred after a breach in protocol, and that Ebola travel bans
[isolating West African countries] would be 'counterproductive'; and Schaffner said that, although US
Ebola transmission was 'distressing,' it was good news that the healthcare worker self-reported.

Morning Jolt . . . with Jim Geraghty
October 13, 2014

Git-R-Done America vs. Washington

You work hard. You pay what you think is more than enough in taxes. The economy
hasnt really felt good since 2008, but you manage to get by. If youve got a 401(k), its
grown in the past few years but the real-estate bubble burned you, and the dot-com
bubble burned you before that. You know that nice sum in your 401(k) could plummet
without warning. What you would really like is a better job, so you could feel better
about the amount of income coming in every month.

Youre trying to play all of your roles worker, parent, sibling, child, friend, neighbor,
parishioner, and somehow find time to take care of yourself so you dont keel over from
a heart attack. Its tough. Time is at a premium. Speaking of which, your insurer
announced your premiums are going up again. Youve been thinking of trading in the old
car, but youre not so sure you could handle new car payments and the higher
premiums.

But you get up every day and you take care of everything that needs care, because
thats who you are and what you do. You get it done. You take some pride in that. You
look at your loved ones, your friends and neighbors, your colleagues, and you know that
they know that they can count on you.

You kind of wonder about everybody else, though.

Whats with the Centers for Disease Control? They keep telling you were going to stop
Ebola in its tracks here and then there are new cases. The NIH Director seems to think
hes reassuring us by telling us the system worked as we learn about new infections.
Then theres that enterovirus 68 floating around, killing kids. Terrifying, heartbreaking.
Hey, guys, maybe a little less time studying gun control and a little more time spent on,
you know, disease control? Thats your job.

Whats going on with everybody whos supposed to be protecting us? First Obama says
We dont have a strategy yet why not? Dont we spend billions, even trillions, on
national-security agencies, intelligence agencies, and a Department of Defense? Isnt
somebody in those vast, expensive organizations supposed to come up with a strategy?
Then he said they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria isnt that
their job? Wasnt anybody watching?

97


Now theyre saying the airstrikes over in Iraq and Syria arent doing enough, and the
Islamic State is knocking on the door of Baghdad. Sunday morning, National Security
Adviser Susan Rice said were not reassessing our strategy. Well, shouldnt somebody?
Just in case? Doesnt anybody over there believe in having a Plan B? Isnt that the job of
a national-security adviser?

How the hell did the top guys at the Department of Veterans Affairs not know about the
waitlists and that veterans were dying, waiting for care? Thats their job.

How the heck did the federal government AND so many state governments manage to
spend so much money and not build insurance-exchange web sites that worked? That
was their job.

The president keeps insisting that test scores are up and that college attendance is up,
when its actually been the opposite. Obviously, the public schools arent good enough
for his kids. He promised the moon when it came to improving schools back in 2008.
Wasnt that his job?

In your life, failure is not an option. If you dont pick up the kids from school, theyre
stuck there. If you dont go shop for groceries, the kids dont eat. All around you, every
day, you see things that have to get done, and you do them. You dont tell the kids,
well, our intentions were good. We tried. We had some glitches. You dont get to
blame your predecessor or the opposition party. You dont get to tell them, or your
spouse, or your boss, that the situation is the same, as normal, and that theyre just
noticing now because of social media.

Where is this get it done attitude in Washington? Every time you turn around, its
some new excuse. Americans do not accept this kind of incompetence and
unaccountability in their personal and professional lives. Why should they accept it from
Washington?

The Coming Spin: No One Would Get Ebola if Republicans Had Spent More Money

Over on Campaign Spot, a liberal group tax exempt! debuts a new ad declaring
Republican budget cuts are responsible for the Ebola infections.

From their even-tempered, fair-minded release:

Today the Agenda Project Action Fund launched Republican Cuts Kill, a multi-
pronged blitzkrieg attack that lays blame for the Ebola crisis exactly where it
belongs -- at the feet of the Republican lawmakers. Like rabid dogs in a butcher
shop, Republicans have indiscriminately shredded everything in their path,
including critical programs that could have dealt with the Ebola crisis before it
reached our country. Yesterday, a health worker tested positive for the virus
now, the effects of the GOPs fanatical hatred for our government may finally be
exposed.


98

. . .In launching this effort, we will be the first major progressive group to
directly blame GOP budget cuts for the nearly 4,000 deaths caused by the Ebola
crisis.

Our plan is to place a paid buy in Kentucky the week of October 18 with North
Carolina, Kansas, and South Dakota to follow provided we complete the
financing we need.

The NIH budget has doubled since 2000, allocations to the U.S. National Institute for
Allergy and Infectious Diseases rose to $4.3 billion in 2004 from $1.8 billion in 2000, and
as Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal notes:

Consider the Prevention and Public Health Fund, a new series of annual
mandatory appropriations created by Obamacare. Over the past five years, the
CDC has received just under $3 billion in transfers from the fund. Yet only 6
percent $180 million of that $3 billion went toward building epidemiology
and laboratory capacity.

Hey, could any of that $1 billion spent on HealthCare.gov been spent on vaccine
research?

An unnerving new wrinkle in the Ebola crisis:

Louisiana State Attorney General Buddy Caldwell is seeking a temporary
restraining order to block the disposal of incinerated waste from the Dallas
Ebola victim's personal items and belongings at a Louisiana landfill.

It has been reported that six truckloads of potential Ebola contaminated
material collected from the apartment where Thomas Eric Duncan became ill
were brought to Port Arthur, Texas, on Friday to be processed at the Veolia
Environmental Services incinerator. From there the incinerated material is
slated to be transported to a hazardous waste landfill in Louisiana for final
disposal.

https://www.scribd.com/doc/242864413/Thoughts-XIV-Kurdistan-Islamism-Iran-Israel-Ebola-Illegals-
Reverse-Racism-Rush

An op-ed co-written with Dr. Sherkoh Abbas is reportedly in-press @ National Review On-Line; as
opposed to writing without doing, plans are afoot to walk the talk in efforts to oppose BHOs brand of
Islamism appeasement. The following excerpt from our submission builds upon the fact that BHO has
yet to arm the Kurds directly with heavy-weapons to match what the Islamic State has expropriated c/o
the American Taxpayer: Few people recognize the ongoing danger of arming the Free Syrian Army,
for its leadership has professed views that are unequivocally both anti-Kurd and anti-Israel.
Meanwhile, as Fierce Fighting Resumed in the Syrian Kurdish Town of Koban, a Female Kurdish Fighter
Mayssa Abdo was revealed as the Leader of the Battle against ISIS in Koban.

As Americas allies continue to become unmasked *Qatar Has a Senior Al-Qaeda
Operative on Its Government Payroll], rationalizations continued to be spun [U.S.
Defense Secretary Hagel: Fight to Defeat Islamic State is Long-Term], the loco-regional
battle continued [Triple Suicide Bombing in Iraq Kills 58 People], and the global nature
of the war against Islamism have emerged regularly [Al-Qaeda and ISIS Struggle for
Global Jihadi Terrorist Leadership and France Says Forces 'Destroyed' Al-Qaeda Arms
Convoy in Niger].

Also, it has been alleged that Easing Gaza restrictions is the new two-
state solution, coupled with the claim that Israel now admits that the
almost-airtight blockade of Gaza has done more harm than good; on
eve of Cairo truce talks, Israel shifted its focus to easing the lives of
Palestinians in return for greater oversight over Hamas, in hope of
restoring calm to its south. {It may be recalled that BB proposed he
wouldnt bomb Gaza if it were demilitarized; this is a far cry from
admitting anything, notwithstanding the destruction caused by the
justified bombings as depicted pictorially in this op-ed.}

Even Reason Magazine appears to be coming around, asking Should We Expect Ground
Troops Soon in the Fight Against ISIS? The U.S. commitment to "degrade and destroy"
ISIS with airstrikes-and what passes for local military forces-isn't working in Iraq. The
Iraqi government now just controls one large town, Haditha, in Anbar province. Having
had their heads handed to them figuratively, and getting ever closer to having it done
literally, provincial leaders are openly calling for U.S. troops to intervene. Hmmm...
Maybe that presidential vow that "I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed
Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq" is looking a bit shaky, after all.

There seems to be grudging recognition that Ebola constitutes the 'MOST SEVERE HEALTH EMERGENCY
IN MODERN TIMES' after the infection of a nurse who treated the nation's first Ebola case changed
"substantially" how public health officials must approach control efforts, per CDC Director Tom Frieden.
The blame-game continued, as per oral reports on MSNBC @ 9:30 a.m., when it was postulated that the
nurse got infected due to improper removal of protective clothing [absent supportive evidence]. Thus, a
PETITION TO BAN FLIGHTS GATHERS STEAM and Rush decried Dem-efforts to blame this problem on

101

cuts promulgated via the Sequester *which BHO had proposed and signed+. In any case, Americans
Die, Obama Lies, GOP Hides, per Richard Viguerie, who claimed, It is not the budget for the CDC, it is
Obama and his appointees who have opened our borders and lied about where the deadly diseases
sweeping America come from and how they are transmitted.

Regarding the midterms, the GOP Opened Big Leads on Critical Issues [hoping this will
matter] while Dems Feared Turnout As GOP Odds Improved; reflecting this trend is a
New Poll that Found Tillis and Hagan Tied 40 percent to 40 Percent and desperate
Democrats Attacked South Dakota Republican on Immigration. This may be explained, in
part, by noting that Obamacare enrollees are struggling with medical bills.

Those of a certain-age will appreciate watching debates [Woody Allen vs William Buckley, Dershowitz vs
Chomsky [debate Israel], and George Galloway vs Christopher Hitchens [debate Iraq War] with a
Transcript]. Also, listeners to George Carlin on "the American Dream" will note he decried undue
reliance on funding education. {Also related to PA-politics is a question whether frack tax in PA could be
a big frack you to local communities.}

NYT reported that MSNBC is IN DEEP RATINGS SPIRAL, a phenomenon which is
explained when one tries to watch Al *racism-all-the-time+ Sharpton; the article noted
that, In terms of Rachel, everybody knows every night what shes going to say because
The network just doesnt surprise you. Also, 'SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE' Ratings Hit Low.

Regarding Culture-Wars [and how they need not be permitted by the GOP to be the focus of the
electorate, as Dems would perhaps desire], the VATICAN SIGNALED ACCEPTANCE OF GAYS AND
COHABITATION and AFFLECK AND MAHER SAID THEY OWN GUNS TO PROTECT OUR HOMES AND
FAMILIES.

Richard Baehr proffered miscellaneous on-point observations.

[1]Iran has become, by design, a partner of sorts for BHO, and it matters not to a
distracted BHO that the Iranians seem to think they can lean on BHO for what matters
to them. [If you are an Israeli or one who cares about Israeli security, noting that Obama
Played 200
th
Round of Golf as 2
nd
Ebola Case Emerged, the word of the day from this
Administration is: Fore!+ The Iranians are flaming-out, aided/assisted by the media
[except Caroline Glick]:

[a] With failure staring the Administration in the face on pretty much
every overseas front, the odds of US capitulation in the nuclear talks
with Iran grow as the Administration feels pressure to show some
success somewhere. So, let's make a deal.

[b]The Iranians warned the US that toppling the Assad regime in Syria
would create problems for Israel; in other words, defeat our Sunni foes,
ISIS, but leave our proxy in Syria in control of that country:

[c]Iran stepped-up the pressure on Israel through another proxy,
Hezbollah.


102

[d]While you were paying attention elsewhere, Iran turned Yemen
into a new client state; once they become a nuclear power [courtesy of
American capitulation], it will become more aggressive in the region.

[e]Take a luxury vacation to Iran, guided by the New York Times, the
Obama administration's favorite journalistic puppet.

[2]The European Union is planning to sanction Israel for two reasons:

[a]It is easiest to take a stand against Israel for this pathetic bunch
of foreign policy fools and military non-entities.

[b]Just below the surface in many of these countries, Anti-Semitism is
strong and anxious to pour out, as it has for centuries.

[3]Climate change modelers falsely claimed that the oceans are sucking up the heat to
explain the complete absence of temperature change in the last 18 years at a time when
carbon emissions have greatly increased [due to industrialization in China and India and
other developing countries]. Notwithstanding the global warming statistical meltdown,
BHO thinks the military may need to fight climate-change in the oceans or in the
upper atmosphere.

Harry Reid did not want to have a vote on the Keystone pipeline, since it
would force his many vulnerable Democratic Senators up
for reelection in 2014 to vote on something, as opposed to spending
their days raising money. Barack Obama refused to sign off on
Keystone, claiming more research was needed, so he would not put at
risk the campaign contributions of the likes of big time coal investor
now green energy man- Tom Steyer. It looks like Canada is tired of
waiting for the people in charge of the American government to look
beyond their political navels.

[4]The reader is invited to choose the biggest idiot among liberal Hollywood celebs;
the nominees are:

[a]Ben Affleck, defender of the religion of peace, other than for a
handful of crazy people.

[b]Gwynneth Paltrow, who thinks BHO is very handsome and does
not know what else to say other than we should give him all the power
he needs. [If more power is the issue, I suggest a better driver and 4
wood would be better for the nation and the world.]

[c]Kristen Stewart, a leader in undercover operations, who trashed
the military and demanded closure of Gitmo; they are just people there,
after all.


103

[5]"The Great Connections" is a free Summer Seminar intended to strengthen the
Power to Think First-Hand.

[6]Patrick Caddell correctly suggested Republicans are foolish not to make an issue of
amnesty during this election season, notwithstanding the fact that big money donors to
the Party [and even the Wall Street Journal] are pro-amnesty due to the desire for cheap
labor. He noted that the left wants vastly expanded immigration and a path to
citizenship for illegals because it wants more Democratic voters so that it can
accumulate sufficient numbers to allow them to win elections forever; it doesnt
care about driving down wage rates or other patriotism-related cultural considerations.

[7]Racial propagandists, like Al Sharpton, are poised to strike if the Ferguson grand
jury does not indict; riots, were they to occur, would probably boost black talk radio
listenership and, in turn, increase black turnout for the midterms. It is sad to think that
some on the grand jury may be prone to indict precisely to avoid still more racial
violence. Without knowing the facts, it is not possible to offer a conclusion on whether
Darrin Wilson acted appropriately or should be charged; one would hope the facts
determine his fate. Jason Riley offered a different take on what ails his African American
community, countering apologists for black crime, such as Nick Kristof, who push whites
to get in touch with their inner racist. {Also noted is the claim by ALEC BALDWIN THAT
AMERICA ONLY ELECTED OBAMA BECAUSE COUNTRY IS MORE SEXIST THAN RACIST.}


Your Rush Limbaugh Echo for Monday, 10/13/14
Opening: Do get the idea that [fools] are leading us?
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#1: They have no idea of what they are doing: CDC, WHO, Obama

Weve had the rise to power of politically correct Liberals. They think that manmade Global Warming
(AGW) is more of a threat than Jihadists.

With the war against ISIS, The Regime leads from behind. What is their objective? How do they define
success? How do they define failure? To them, it is all political.

Reflect back to the days after 9/11 and Bush, Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Rudy Giuliani and how non-political
and united we were, for a while. Is that what you see today?

When Democrats are in charge, they find scapegoats and Republicans to blame for their own failures.
>>> Democrats pander to voters in the low-information crowd.

_____________________________________________________________
Segment#3: One of Rush Limbaughs undeniable truths of life

Our world is governed by the aggressive use of force; Obama believes it is run by the aggressive use of
speeches. Money allocated to the CDC was given to other things, and there is now no infrastructure for
an emergency like Ebola.


104

>>> Compare and contrast the Conservatives to the Liberals
_____________________________________________________________
Seg#11: Republicans may take back the Senate.

Even the Washington Post poll is showing the Republican Party may take back the Senate.
>>> Although this is encouraging, it still gives me cause for concern.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#12: Rush Revere and the American Revolution

Rush promoted the third book and audio in his series Rush Revere and the American Revolution: Time-
Travel Adventures with Exceptional Americans; it has a new website and a trailer, as the horse Liberty
demands we get his Likes up, but we tell him, Its up to you, bub.

Caller: My son has Aspergers but likes history now w/Rush Revere.
>>> This is very meaningful to everyone who works on the series.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#13: Democrat Party brand is rock solid to low-info voters

Caller-NYC: Republican budget cuts led to Ebola, says the Democrat ad.

Democrats get away with blaming Republicans, like the school lunch program, prescriptions for seniors,
on-and-on, with low-info voters. We are in one of the biggest declines since the Great Depression, and
it is right out of the Democrat playbook: Black Americans love Obama more than ever.

My point is: if you cant convince those coming out of college and finding no job and a bad economy,
and the Black community hurt the most, how do you expect to win their votes? REPUBLICANS DONT
PUSH BACK and dont even try to define Liberal-Democrats.

>>> The Democrat Party brand/branding is rock solid.

_____________________________________________________________
Seg#14: Contrast America to the suppressed, dictatorial, prison nations

Caller-CT: Culture change. Poor American sees a rich American and says, Ill have one someday also
and the Russian says, Ill clog his tailpipe and he wont have one either.
We are moving closer to the Russian model;
>>> this is why we have the Rush Revere series.

Harvard will Honor Ted Kennedy, Once Expelled for Cheating; the Edward Kennedy Institute for the
United States Senate is to Open Early Next Year. [The opening will be a huge, two-day celebration,
including a formal public dedication ceremony, with lots of scotch.]

The Teddy Kennedy Institute is being built on the campus of the University of MassachusettsBoston.
Why not at Teds alma mater, the prestigious Harvard University? Oh. Thats right. Ted had problems at
Harvard. Expelled. Cheating scandal.

105


UMass-Boston also houses the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library, Museum & Gentlemans Club. Next
to it, Teddys legacy building will be erected. The centerpiece will be a full-scale replica of the US Senate
Chamber. Victoria Kennedy says the replica will give visitors a better sense of the work done in the
Senate the experience of debating, negotiating, and voting on legislation.

Or, in the case of Ted Kennedy, smearing conservatives, as he did to Judge Bork, Clarence Thomas, and
scores of other judicial nominees he opposed. Not to mention working with foreign leaders to
undermine the foreign policy of Republican presidents.

How about a replica of La Brasserie restaurant? Where Senators Kennedy and Chris Dodd made a
waitress sandwich with an employee serving them. Or, the cherry on the cake: Build a replica of the
bridge at you know where. To teach the younger generation where the Democrat war on women
actually claimed one of its first victim.

I do not apologize for peppering yall with this Kurdistan issue, for its hot! We just received word that
our terrific piece will be live tomorrow at 4 a.m. EST on NRO, and were gradually finding people
with whom to network; Sherkoh reported our essay will be uploaded by Fox-News and I called David
Tafuri, the author of todays WSJ-piece Leaving a US Ally Outgunned by ISIS. Im told we need to ID a
celebrity to help us market this concern; anyone who has any suggestions is invited to provide input.

It seems that the Kurds and the Jews are linked genetically; one article [Genetics-and-
the-Jewish-identity] noted that Jews, Kurds, Armenians and Anatolian Turks all carry the
genetic markers of ancient indigenous populations of the Fertile Crescent, and another
article [The Genetic Bonds Between Kurds and Jews] focused specifically on unique
findings on the Y-Chromosome. Perhaps this helps to explain the links between Israel
and Kurdistan.

The news is not good [ISIS militants took Iraq army camp as deadly bombings grip Baghdad; and Fall of
Hit is a turning point in fight against ISIS; and ISIS and Kurds clash in Koban; and Obama advisers at
odds over troop role; and Gruesome photos may show ISIS using chemical weapons on Kurds; and ISIS
Used Chemical Weapons Against the Kurds in Koban; and Can't defeat ISIS simply from air; and War on
ISIS not job for lawyers or law enforcement its the job of the military.

Pentagon spokesman Adm. John Kirby told reporters he understood that U.S. air power
wouldn't save Koban, but that there is a "larger strategy" in place. The primary goal of
the campaign is not to save Syrian cities and towns, U.S. Central Command officials said,
but to go after ISIS senior leadership, oil refineries, and other infrastructure that would
curb the group's ability to operate. If the strategy is to allow ISIS to advance its
murderous agenda against Kurds and others while we "plink" its leaders from above, it is
a humanitarian, military, and political disaster of a strategy.



Turks Reneged on Air Base [assuming the pledge had been made in the first place],
and ISIS beheaded Hundreds in Koban while Surrounding Baghdad

By Jerry Gordon


108


Yesterday, National Security Advisor Susan E. Rice went on NBCs Meet the Press and glibly announced
that Turkey had given permission for use of the Incirlik air base by the US-led coalition assaulting ISIS
from the air. She triumphantly commented, Thats a new commitment and one that we very much
welcome. Today, The Washington Post reported a senior Turkish official denied such a claim, saying
that talks were still underway, perhaps awaiting a Pentagon military planning team this week in Ankara.

Meanwhile, Turkeys President Erdoan has made it abundantly clear that he wants his priority demand
opening up a front against the Assad Regime. Erdoans negotiations tactics lend credence that he is
tacitly supporting ISIS destruction of the Kurdish YPG fighters in Koban. It looks like the same stall
tactics his AKP government used back in 2003, when the US Army First Infantry Division was prevented
from off loading in the Mediterranean port of Iskenderun to transit of Turkey and enter Northern Iraq.
What is the expression, dog bites man first time, dog's fault; dog bites man second time, mans fault.

Following in the wake of Ms. Rices gaffe on Benghazi on Meet the Press October 15, 2012 and now with
this episode, she has lost credibility. But then the Obama policies in the region have failed. Whether it
is red lines in Syria, supporting a One Iraq policy in the face of disintegration of the Baghdad central
government, and his ISIS strategy with a US air assault but no boots on the ground.

Turkeys stalling on permission for the US-led coalition air contingents use the Incirlik air base less than
100 kilometers from the Turkish-Syrian border has complicated air operations. We have argued that
should have been the first orders of business by the Administration. Now US Navy squadrons on board
the USS George H. W. Bush in the Red Sea, USAF squadrons based temporarily at the Al Udeid air base
in Qatar carrier and RAF squadrons based in Cyprus have to fly 1,100 mile round trip sorties making it
virtually impossible to engage in round-the-clock air operations.

We offer the following suggestions about what to do with a recalcitrant Erdoan in Turkey. One
suggested by Jonathan Schanzer of the Washington, DC-based Foundation for the Defense of
Democracies, is that Turkey be temporarily suspended from the NATO alliance until it agrees to lend
meaningful support to the US-led coalition. The Administration might impose an embargo on sales of US
military equipment and spare parts to Turkey, akin to what was done following Turkeys invasion of
Cyprus in 1974, lifted in 1978. The State Department might delist the Turkish Workers Party (PKK) from
its designated terrorist list. There is the precedent of the delisting of the Iranian opposition group, the
Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK). That act outraged the Iranian Islamic regime. A similar action by the US
State Department might cause a diplomatic furor between Washington and Ankara further emboldening
Kurdish protests in Turkey and elsewhere.

We have grisly reports from The Daily Mail, today, that hundreds of trapped Kurds in Koban have
been beheaded by ISIS jihadists to the cries of allahu Akbar. Rumor has it that a contingent of 200
Kurdish fighters with more modern weapons may be on their way to Koban. But that may be too little
too late to save the encircled YPG fighters in Koban.

Meanwhile a large column of 10,000 ISIS troops, equipped with stolen US tanks, artillery and Humvees,
have virtually taken all of Anbar province encircling Baghdad and threatening the International airport.
The UN reported today that more than 30,000 families, 180,000 persons fled after the town of Hit was
taken.

We had this exchange with a veteran US security contractor in Baghdad.

Gordon: Thank you for your comment on my Iconoclast post. Suffice to say all of us pray for the safety
of you and all your American colleagues in Iraq. The flight of the Iraqi forces before Mosul in June
empowered ISIS with billions in US supplied arms, weapons, tanks and Humvees. ISIS military
commanders are former Saddam Ba'athist commanders and quite capable in conducting operations
against a corrupt Iraqi national army. ISIS has a friend in Turkey's Erdoan, allied with the Muslim
Brotherhood in the region. Despite the change in government and removal of former Premier Al-Maliki,
Iraq remains a satrap of Iran for all intents and purposes. ISIS' Jihad Qur'anic imperative, to borrow a
phrase of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, is "Cry Havoc and let slip the dogs of war" to the cry of allahu
Akbar. I trust that you and your colleagues can make it out to Kuwait and home before the Baghdad
airport falls into ISIS hands.

Tim: I agree with what you say. I have been able to see all this happen first hand. I have been over here
for a total of five years. I believe that some plan has been made for our evacuation but nothing has been
shared. We will see.

Yesterday, Lisa Benson asked us to join her, Dr. Sherkoh Abbas, President of the Kurdish National
Assembly of Syria (KURDNAS) and the Hon. Karwan Zebari, the Kurdish Regional Government
Ambassador in Washington. Benson has drawn attention to the barbaric onslaught of ISIS against the
YPG fighters in Koban, and the efforts of the KRG Peshmerga forces in Iraq. Benson has also reached
out to activists to solicit relief assistance to Kurds, Yazidis and Christians in the KRG. She has told
graphically of the escape of Yazidi women and girls from Raqaa who were sold into sex slavery by their
ISIS captors and the price they had paid to reach safety and freedom in the KRG. Benson has mounted
several twitter rally campaigns with hashtags # Arm Peshmerga and # Save Koban.

In the discussion on this latest Lisa Benson Radio Show broadcast, we addressed revelations by Senior
Iranian officials in contact with the Administration. They suggested that Israel will be threatened by ISIS
if the Assad regime is attacked. Dr. Abbas confirmed Irans double game strategy facilitating the
rampage that emboldened ISIS conquest of large swaths of Syria and Iraq virtually destroying the map
of the Levant. A map that began with the British-French Sykes Picot secret agreement of 1916 that led to
the French and British Mandates of the League of Nations at the San Remo Conference in 1920. This was
followed by the creation of the Kemalist Republic of Turkey in 1923 with the Treaty of Lausanne. The big
losers in the Versailles conference in 1919 were the Kurds. They were promised a nation in their ancient
homeland in what became modern Turkey, Iran, Syria and Iraq.

Ambassador Zebari articulated the failure of the so-called One Iraq policy propounded by the US
Administration as the basis for the strategy to degrade and destroy the Islamic State. ISIS has become
enormously wealthy from looting banks, extortion, and taxation of conquered people and sales of
smuggled oil from fields in both Syria and Iraq. The flood of ISIS fighters from 70 countries have
travelled the jihadist highway allowed by the Islamist regime of President Erdoans AKP government in
Ankara. Dozens have been killed in riots in Turkeys predominately Kurdish southeast.

Benson fielded a call from a Kurdish American organizer of a hunger strike in support of Kurds in Koban
that will be launched across from the White House this Friday. Another call, asked the probing question
of Dr. Abbas and Ambassador Zebari, What could be done to arouse the Administration to alleviate this
looming disaster? Ambassador Zebari suggested that Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle
have recognized the failure of the One Iraq policy and the necessity of supporting the Kurds.


110

Both Dr. Abbas raised the question of why Jewish advocacy groups in the US dont support this, as they
have been noticeably silent. Benson contrasted the questionable appropriation of more than $500
million by Congress in response to the Presidents request to provide training and arms for so-called
moderate Syrian opposition forces, most of who appear to Islamist. The consensus of the discussions on
Sundays program was the One Iraq strategy has failed and that the Kurds deserve a nation-state of their
own. Dr. Abbas and Ambassador Zebari opposed Secretary of State Kerry continued espousal of the
failed One Iraq policy.

Dr. Abbas drew attention to the US donation of $212 million announced at the Cairo Donor conference
organized by Norway for reconstruction in Gaza. Over $2.7 billion was raised in pledges from EU and
Middle East Muslim nations. There was nary a word about dismantling and verifying Hamass terror
command and tunnels. Kerry also pushed for renewal of Palestinian - Israeli peace discussions. All while
PA President Abbas pushes his campaign for a UN Security Council resolution recognizing a Palestinian
State claiming he has 7 of 9 votes in favor. Ambassador Zebari pointed out that Israel and the Kurds are
objects of scorn and hate by the Muslim Brotherhood, Shia and Sunni, Salafist and Wahhabist
Jihadists in the Middle East. This should, in his opinion, arouse Americans during the upcoming Mid-
Term November elections to vote for Congressional candidates who support Kurdish nationalism and
provide the arms to fight against ISIS Meanwhile, we had reports from Jerusalem today that Israeli
police closed down Palestinian rioters at the Al Aksa Mosque on the Temple Mount. These rioters were
seeking to rain havoc with rocks and Molotov cocktails on Jews at the Kotel below celebrating the
Festival of Tabernacles, Sukkoth. The UN considered such Israeli actions, provocative.

OCTOBER 14, 2014 4:00 AM

NATO Must Help the Kurds Now
The Kurdistan National Assembly makes an impassioned plea to America and the world.

By Sherkoh Abbas & Robert B. Sklaroff


Kurds are valiantly defending themselves from annihilation in Kobani while America and Turkey busy
themselves declaring what the other party should do. Ultimately, America must understand Turkish
motives in order to implement a clear policy. America must stop following from behind and start
leading the free world against the burgeoning threat of Islamo-Nazis.

As the Islamic State (IS) continues to launch barbaric attacks in Kobani and elsewhere Turkish tanks
remain idle, just over the horizon. Turkey, a member of NATO, has the worlds sixth-largest military, but
it hasnt stirred to stop the carnage because the Islamic State has not yet desecrated the tomb of
Suleyman Shah, located in Syria. In August 2013, Turkeys president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, singled out
the tombs site for special commendation, declaring that it along with surrounding land was
Turkish territory. Thus, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Kurds are a lesser priority than protecting a
monument to a man who drowned while trying to cross the Euphrates River in 1236; Erdogan cited
article 9 of an agreement signed with France on October 20, 1921, to honor the memory of the
grandfather of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.

Some observers fear that Erdogan reached a compromise with the Islamic State on September 20 this
year when he swapped 180 jihadists in return for the release of 49 Turkish consulate staff captured in
Turkeys consulate in Mosul, Iraq. Yet he delayed implementation of a motion passed by Turkeys
parliament that authorized deployment of Turkish armed forces into Iraq and Syria to fight the Islamic
State, and that allowed foreign forces to conduct anti-IS operations from Turkey. Why? Because
he equated the Islamic State with the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), with which he had supposedly
reached a rapprochement.

Much of the conflict between Washington and Ankara has focused on whether to establish a buffer zone
between Turkey and Syria and, if so, how it might be policed; Erdogan wants the Unites States to

113

establish a no-fly zone, claiming that the two nations have a shared interest in defeating the Baathist
regime led by Bashar al-Assad; Obama, however, wants to minimize direct American involvement. Much
of the territory that would be in the buffer zone now is home to Kurds. Allowing Turkey to assert
hegemony over this region would jump-start a radical demographic shift, eliminating the spirit of
Kurdish nationalism in western Kurdistan and undermining efforts to ensure non-Islamist influence
within any future Syrian government. Creating a Turkish belt above the Iranian belt (linking Tehran
to Lebanon) would essentially supplant Kurds from land theyve inhabited for millennia. Kurds would
justifiably oppose establishment of settlements by Turkish Turkmen that, along with those built by Arab
Baathists, would infiltrate this region with peoples who predictably would harbor fealty to Ankara or
Damascus.

Thats why America and the international community must not place the fate of the Kurdish people in
the hands of the Turkish government, which has stood by passively as the Islamic State has slaughtered
Kurds. All three parties America, Turkey, and Kurdistan share enmity against Assad (and, assuredly,
the feeling is mutual) along with his supporters in Tehran and Moscow. Its only reasonable to predict
that Baathists in Syria would exhibit the same level of anti-Kurdish racism as Saddam Hussein displayed
in Iraq (particularly given that his former followers now populate the leadership of the Islamic State).
But Assads overthrow must not be followed by the creation of a puppet government controlled by
Erdogan instead of the ayatollahs.

America must honor its unique history of protecting the human rights of oppressed people worldwide.
Journalists bravely covering this multi-party conflict have exposed the degrading, immoral, and
brutal treatment of Kurds by the Islamic State, but they have not reported adequately on the deaths of
wounded Kurds who, escaping to the Turkish border, were refused entry by Turkish security forces (the
army and the gendarmerie). These are tough days for Kurds and other religious and national minorities
who live among them people from all over Syria. They face genocide, with no end in sight and, thus
far, no help on the way.

Kurds are not trying to parlay sympathy for their plight fearing slaughter to manipulate American
foreign policy, although Kurds feel they were robbed of a homeland after World War I, as multiple
ironclad agreements were abrogated. But this is hardly the time to relitigate prior betrayals, because it is
essential to create a real buffer zone immediately to protect Kurds from a Holocaust, a Shoah against
Kurds and other peoples.

Unfortunately, given that Russia can veto any U.N. Security Council provision deemed to undermine
Assad, it is unlikely that the U.N. will act to protect the Kurds. Its therefore preferable that NATO play a
larger role in this conflict, the same way that it worked with Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. Also,
few people recognize the ongoing danger of arming the Free Syrian Army its leadership has professed
views that are unequivocally anti-Kurd and anti-Israel.

The Kurdistan National Council of Syria therefore calls upon NATO to establish a joint force with the
Pesh Merga (which, by the way, translates as those who confront death). Functioning as temporary
protectors against a common existential threat, this force would also serve to undermine Irans ability to
influence the Kurds and the Yazidis. Rather, the population could be shielded from Islamism through the
shared efforts of NATO, the Kurds, and Syrian militias that the Kurds can vet so as to preclude providing
arms to Islamic terrorists. Their mission would be, initially, to protect the population and, subsequently,
to facilitate the return of refugees from neighboring countries, particularly Turkey. Ultimately, this entity

114

could provide the catalyst for the creation of a democratic and pluralistic Syrian government that would
accommodate the civil rights of all indigenous people.

Kurds simply want to be empowered to choose their own destiny and to live in freedom with others
who share their desire to create security and stability. Kurds can protect themselves via the Pesh Merga
in South Kurdistan and by severing the corrupt belts envisioned by Iran and Turkey. In conjunction
with this initiative, all Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq will need to cooperate closely. As much as we
envision an independent Kurdistan with Erbil as its capital, we must focus now on reaching consensus
about what is happening to Erbils west. At a time when common enemies confront us, we need unity
among the Kurdish militia and between the Kurdish community and the myriad moderate members of
the Syrian Free Army. To stop the carnage in Syria, NATO must intervene.

Sherkoh Abbas is a human-rights activist, a leader of the Kurdish Dorkian tribe, and a founding
member of Center for Democracy in the Middle East. He served as president of the Kurdish-American
Committee for Democracy in Syria and is currently the chairman of the Kurdistan National Assembly of
Syria. Robert B. Sklaroff is a physician-activist and supporter of Kurdish self-determination. This article
constitutes the policy of the Kurdistan National Assembly of Syria, conveyed to America and the world on
behalf of the Kurdistan National Council of Syria.



We emphasize the pivotal nature of our assertion that "few people recognize the ongoing danger of
arming the Free Syrian Army its leadership has professed views that are unequivocally anti-Kurd and
anti-Israel."

https://www.scribd.com/doc/242...

This hyperlink contains a quotation from the head of the FSA [which Obama is depending upon to
provide feet-on-the-ground] which is unequivocally both anti-Kurd and anti-Israel.

Dr. Abbas met him, General Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir al-Noeimi, as is documented in the pictorial; prior to the
Syrian Civil War, Noeimi served as a career officer in the Syrian Army where he was Brigadier General.

"A Coup in the Supreme Military Council?". Carnegie Endowment. 17 January 2014. Retrieved 17
January 2014.

Dr. Abbas also provided the translation of his Arabic assertion, in which he claimed Kurds were either
Zionists, terrorists, or undeserving of "rights."

Thus Obama is BOTH avoiding the urgent need to avoid an ongoing humanitarian crisis by NOT helping
the Kurds, but he is also AGAIN arming people who openly espouse political stances that are at-variance
with American policy.

Specifically, America should not aid/abet people whose basic political philosophy is almost
indistinguishable from that of those who are considered to be the enemy.

strategy enters Chernobyl phase"].

***

We are grateful to NRO that this 1098-word piece was published virtually intact, based upon our
lengthier submission; elaborative observations that readers may wish to appreciate are as follows:

1. ['graph #1] We noted that neither America nor Turkey is actually acting forthrightly, without
fingerpointing at each other. This observation is dramatized both by America's double-error [vide supra]
when eschewing Kurds and helping the FSA, and by Turkey having reneged on its alleged-pledge
[announced by Rice on Sunday] to allow its soil to be used to attack the Islamic State [rescinded on
Monday] assuming it had ever truly been made.

2. ['graph #2] It is ironic that remaining quiescent "just over the horizon" is a behavior-pattern currently
practiced both by Turkey and America, despite Obama's rationalization for total Iraqi withdrawal having
included the assertion that, by remaining "just over the horizon," America could reassert a military
intervention should the need subsequently arise.

3. ['graph #3] We noted that the swap of known Islamists for the consulate staff and their family
members antedated Erdoan's current inaction when faced with an impending massacre in Koban;
although Biden's comments were subsequently self-declared as impolitic, it must be appreciated that
Turkey [and Qatar] underwrote the Islamic State.

The Jerusalem Post reported one Islamic State member said Turkey, a member of NATO, provided funds
for the terrorist group.
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-P...
http://www.jpost.com/Middle-Ea...

4. ['graph #4] The demand by Turkey that America impose a no-fly zone could suffice would create a
direct confrontation with the Russian-supplied air-defense employed by Damascus [which would have to
be KO'ed]; this would also arouse Tehran [which has vowed to visit retribution on Israel, as was
suggested by the sudden initiation of bombing of northern Israel by Hizbollah]. These dominoes would
be falling on the eve of the midterms, an eventuality Obama obviously wouldn't wish to transpire, for
this phenomenon would dramatize the abject failure of both his foreign policy and the paradigms that
have animated it.

5. ['graph #5] Although some claim al-Qaeda and the Islamic State are rivals, the key-point to which
Obama's acolytes seem to exhibit willful-blindness is the fact that they are all "fingers connected to the
same hand" that promotes worldwide Jihad [including, for example, Nigeria's Boko Haram]. Similarly,
Obama's prior support for the Muslim Brotherhood [particularly reflected in his evolving policies
regarding Egyptian leadership] reflects his consistent gutting of prior opposition [to whatever degree
possible] to those aggressively seeking a worldwide Caliphate.

6. ['graph #6] It may be recalled that Obama was stirred, respectively, after public opinion erupted
following publicity of the Azidis' plight and of the double-beheadings of Americans; thus, it is necessary

116

to enhance pressure upon Obama and his Dem-party allies during these three weeks prior to the
midterms, for it seems circumstances are undermining his classic "run-out-the-clock" modus operandi.

7. ['graph #7] We emphasized that Kurds do not harbor the intent to leverage loyalties of other
countries by playing-upon "sympathy"; rather, we perceive Turks as being engaged in this sordid level of
self-serving discourse. The Kurds seek self-determination in an unfriendly, volatile neighborhood, but
American support is urgently needed; Kurds have consistently espoused Western values despite ongoing
pressures to acquiesce to the wills of larger countries that are both contiguous to Kurdistan [Turkey,
Iran, Syria] and more distant [Saudi Arabia and Qatar].

8. ['graph #8] we EMPHASIZE we have documented the claim that the head of the FSA harbors
fundamental political views that are ANTITHETICAL to those that Americans assume Obama would
support overseas; for details, note the information [provided here, under "guest"] that includes a
posting directly from the general who runs the FSA.

To conclude, we now note the use of chemical warfare against the Kurds by the Islamic State in
Koban...
http://www.meforum.org/4852/di...,
...as documented by Gruesome photos....
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2...
...and that the THREAT of such barbarism had allegedly prompted Obama to draw his infamous [and
indubitably "crossed" and "double-crossed"] "red-line" that would prompt American involvement.

THEREFORE, America MUST advocate calling an URGENT meeting of NATO "allies" [noting that none of
those dozens that had supposedly been accrued by Obama have stepped-up-to-the-plate].
NATO must intervene SOLELY on behalf of America's ONLY trustworthy ally in the region, the Kurds;
other cogent decisions would devolve easily from making this fundamental intervention.

A few questions for our Kurdish friends:
What types of weaponry are most urgently needed by the Peshmerga?
Haven't the Kurds been cooperating with the Iraqi (mainly Shia) security forces?
Do the Kurds have the ability to call in air strikes?
Isn't the FSA more interested in removing Assad than fighting ISIS?
What would Turkey do if the U.S. threatened to support a Kurdish state made from parts of Iraq and
Syria?

I reply based upon information gleaned from conversations with Sherkoh.

The Kurds need heavy weaponry that is delivered directly, rather than via Baghdad; light-arms can't
compete long-term with tanks, and RPG's are in short-supply throughout Kurdistan.

The Kurds have consistently complied with American pleas that Erbil cooperate with Baghdad, but
Baghdad hasn't reciprocated [withholding arms, etc.].


117

The Kurds would be eager to serve as America's boots-on-the-ground, and have demonstrated that they
merit being viewed exclusively as having the capacity to fulfill that role [supplemented by people/groups
that the Kurds know and, thus, could effectively "vet"].

The Kurds fear the loyalties and motives of the FSA, as is reflected in much of what has been conveyed
in this article and elsewhere.

The Kurds had hoped that a rapprochement of Turkey with the PKK [which would now disavow intent to
undermine eastern Turkey in this regard] would have allowed Turkey to support Kurdish self-
determination being manifest in Iraq and Syria; this is why it is so disheartening that Turkey's desire to
supplant Assad seems to be the priority over honoring support for non-threatening Kurds.

THESE VIEWS have NOT been reviewed by Dr. Abbas prior to being uploaded, but they reflect
observations that are "owned" by myself, but that are consistent with issues discussed with him, during
the past six-plus years.

How can the U.S. provide heavy weaponry to the Kurds (I assume you want antitank missiles, tanks,
artillery) without the cooperation of Iraq or Turkey? We need a port.
Are there any airfields controlled by the Kurds that can support large cargo jets, bombers, and fighters?

Erbil...from which such matriel could be trans-shipped overland.

Big "guns" are needed to 1. Raise money to buy needed weapons 2. Bring attention to the plight of the
Kurds 3. Shine a light on the inaction of Barack Obama and his operatives 4. Organize a peaceful
(national) rally call to action.
Buying weaponry (from Israel?) seems to be the most crucial and immediate need of the Kurds.
Fundraising is essential and celebrity is needed to get the attention of good people who have not yet
been engaged (and unfortunately do not have the time or wherewithal to search out articles about The
Kurds).
