Israel World's Only Hope! ... J. D. Longstreet

Israel World's Only Hope!
The Cloak of Authority Now On Israel's Shoulders.

A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet
****************

We have told our readers many times over the past five years that Obama would not attack Iran's nuclear facilities and would, in fact, allow Iran to gain the nuclear "Islam Bomb."

We are seeing the final details fall into place as the scenario above becomes reality.

Just as we warned of the dangers of Obamacare we have warned about the dangers of Iran getting its hands on a nuclear weapon.

Iran has promised time and time again that it intends to bomb Israel out of existence with nuclear weapons and then turn those weapons on the US.  There is absolutely no reason to doubt their sincerity.  THIS scribe is absolutely convinced that the mad mullahs of Iran will do exactly that as soon as the idiots now negotiating with them are finished getting "rolled" and made complete fools of as the Persians laugh uproariously behind their hands at the amateurish machinations of Obama, Kerry, et al.

It is now clear as crystal to anyone not self-blinded that the US President is not a leader.  He is most certainly not a military man, nor a very good strategist.  He is weak, thin-skinned, narcissistic, and arrogant with a greatly inflated idea of his own importance.    He tends to wallow in unwarranted importance out of his own overbearing pride.  Like Nero of ancient Rome, he is dangerous to his country.  Unlike Nero, however, he is also dangerous to the entire world.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the only military on the globe with the unquestioned ability to stop Iranian nuclear aspirations and save the world from the coming global nuclear conflagration, he refuses to step up to save the world.  There is no excuse for such inaction.  None whatsoever.  It hasn't been that long ago that such inaction in the face of such danger was referred to as "cowardice."

So now, the mantle falls upon the shoulders of little Israel.  The cloak of authority has now shifted from the US to Israel.  It is to tiny Israel the world must look for salvation from the barbarism of the Muslim hordes threatening to overrun the world and set up a worldwide califate, or global theocratic government.

But first there must be a world wide cataclysm to pave the way for the return of the Twelfth Imam who, it is believed, will lead the Mohammedans to world wide domination.

Israel's military is prepared to undertake the mission to impart as much damage as possible to Iran's nuclear facilities as they possibly can.  They have been in constant training for years now and are "leaning forward."  Israeli military assets have been moved about what is expected to be the middle eastern theatre of war in the coming fight and are on station prepared to strike at a moment's notice.  That moment is drawing nigh... swiftly. 

A large portion of the remainder of the world community will publicly decry the attack, expressing strong disapproval of Israel's actions, when they come, but secretly urge Israel on to the highest degree of victory possible for their limited forces.

And yes, that is pathetic, but that, unfortunately, has been the history of the European states when time comes to put up, or shut up.  There are exceptions, of course, such as Great Britain, France, and Germany, and a handful of other nations, which have managed to hold on to their manhood.

Many in the Israeli air forces understand that theirs will be a suicide mission.  Yet they are prepared to go the distance, put their lives in the balance to save, not just Israel, but the entire world. And yes, they DO understand that even if they succeed they will still be reviled through out much of Europe with an anti-Semitic passion not much less than that of the Nazis in the 1930's and 1940's. 

As an American, it shames me that that the President of my country is such a wimp.  As a Christian American I remember the edict handed down by God concerning the treatment of Israel:  "I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you."

Obama has set America up to be the recipient of God's curse on our nation.  The warning is plain and extremely clear:  "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."  Galatians 6:7

Obama has sown the whirlwind in America's name, and the whirlwind we shall reap. Indeed, the fields are white for the harvest, and the day draws near.

Once again, Israel has become the center of attention as she has been since the earliest days of human settlement.

For five years, Binyamin Netanyahu has repeatedly warned the world that Israel was ready for military action to preempt a nuclear-armed Iran.  SOURCE:  http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/2013/November11/111.html#eDJSpQlIUFBAeme7.99 

As a final note -- do not be lulled into believing Israel will be all alone in the fight when it comes.  This scribe is convinced that Providence has not only removed the mantle of authority from America's shoulders and placed it upon Israel's shoulders. He has also removed His protection from America and added it to the centuries old protection afforded his "chosen" people.

The world, including Iran and the Obama administration, should understand that Israel reserves the right to retaliate --  and they have the capability of retaliating -- if attacked -- even if they are the recipients of a devastating nuclear attack from Iran.  The Persians should understand that if they issue a nuclear death warrant against Israel, they will have signed their own nuclear death warrant, as well.  There can be no question that Israel will  retaliate and the country of Iran will no longer exist as a viable nation state.

We suggest you read an article I wrote sometime back (September 2012) in which I referenced Israel's "Samson Option."   It will raise the hair on the back of your neck.  You'll find it at:  http://insightonfreedom.blogspot.com/2012/09/never-again-j-d-longstreet.html

For the first time in America's history we will be engaged in a global war completely alone, without a reliance on God, for having spurned God, He will not be there.

Obama's Iranian Deal is a New Disaster ... Alan Caruba

Obama's Iranian Deal is a New Disaster

A wall mural in Tehran

By Alan Caruba

The headline of the lead, page one article in The Wall Street Journal on Friday, November 8 was “U.S., Iran Close In on Nuclear Deal” with a sub-headline “West Set to Ease Some Financial Sanctions in Exchange for Tehran Freezing Most Advance Work.’ Secretary of State John Kerry cut short a visit to Middle East states, including Israel, returning to Geneva where the deal was reportedly close to being signed.

We now know that Obama began to ease financial sanctions before the latest negotiations began. He did so secretly.

Shades of “Munich” and the infamous 1938 deal with the Nazi regime that a British Prime Minister promised would bring “peace in our time.” That level of naiveté resulted in World War Two which began a year later when Germany invaded Poland after negotiating a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union that was itself later invaded.

You don’t make deals with rogue nations. They never keep their word. One example is North Korea, a nuclear nation. Another is Iran that intends to be a nuclear nation.

It’s not as if Americans and the rest of the world don’t already know that Barack Obama’s word is as worthless as his Iranian counterparts or that Iran does not already have a long record of aggressive behavior. They just celebrated the 34th anniversary of their hostage-taking of U.S. diplomats in 1979, complete with crowds in Tehran shouting “Death to America.”  Not even the Geneva negotiations were reason enough to throttle back on the public display of their hatred of the U.S.

For reasons known only to Obama, he has wanted to conclude a deal—any kind of deal—with the Iranians since taking office and by “Iranians” I mean the two centers of power, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leaders, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The latter is utterly opposed to any slowdown in the pursuit of nuclear weapons.

Suffice to say, there have been many who have counseled against dealing with either one, not the least of which is, of course, Israel, followed closely by Saudi Arabia, two longtime allies of the U.S. who are being betrayed. And know it.

In 2009 when protesters filled the streets of Tehran to resist the totalitarian regime, President Obama choose to remain on the sidelines, saying he saw no point in “meddling” in the Iran’s affairs while the protesters shouted, “Obama, are you with us or against us?”

One expert on Iran, Ali Alfoneh, advises that the most dangerous approaches to take with IRGC commanders are “compromise and silence.” He cited the 2007 seizure and detention of British soldiers off the Iran-Iraq coast, to which I would add the seizure of three American hikers in 2009 who were held for two years. Then there was the 2011 attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador in Washington, D.C., all of which were largely met with silence from the West.

Currently, Saeed Abedini, an Iranian-born U.S. citizen has been imprisoned in Iran since his arrest in June 2012 during a visit. He is a convert to Christianity and, in Iran, a Muslim who converts to another faith can face the death penalty.

Joining the U.S. in the current negotiations are foreign ministers from Britain, France, and Germany. Writing in the November 7 National Review Online, Benjamin Weinthal, a fellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, noted that “From the beginning of Iran’s nuclear talks with the U.S. and Europe, the country has managed to win delays and move their weapons program closer to the point of breakout. A deal that does not fully remove Iran’s capability, including its 18,000 centrifuges, to produce a nuclear weapon will endanger U.S. security.”

It poses an even greater threat to Israel as well as Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East region, none of whom want to deal with a nuclear Iran. The current negotiations and any deal that results from them would signal, says Weinthal, “the withering away of our opposition to the regime due to fatigue.”

Fatigue may be a factor, but there was a time when the U.S. waged the Cold War with the then-Soviet Union from 1945 to its collapse in 1991. We could surely hold out against Iran if we had a President with the will and the wisdom to do so. We don’t.

Just as virtually every domestic and foreign effort and policy by the Obama administration has met with failure, I sense that the U.S.-Iran deal stems from Obama’s strong desire to withdraw from having to deal with any of the Middle East nations as if they were an irritant that he wants to ignore. A deal, however, would give Obama a "success" of any kind to divert attention from the Obamacare debacle.

The U.S. withdrawal from Iraq has been a disaster for that nation. The withdrawal from Afghanistan is scheduled to be complete in 2014. Obama’s “red line” with Syria disappeared with his empty threat to bomb that nation following its use of poison gas; only Russia’s intervention made possible the destruction of those weapons. Meanwhile, Iran continues to provide conventional weapons to Syria’s regime and to maintain two anti-Israel Palestinian groups, Hezbollah and Hamas.

A deal with Iran, filled with concessions to a nation desperate to get various international sanctions removed, may yet--as of this writing--fall through. The French are reportedly not enthusiastic and the Iranians are reportedly putting forth demands that are not likely to be met. It is sufficient to say that It would be impossible to confirm any compliance from the regime.

Writing in the Ottawa Citizen on November 5, Sheryl Saperia, the Director of Policy for Canada at the Foundation of Democracies, advised that “The first step to maintain and even strengthen sanctions against the regime. Tighter sanctions could slow down the rate at which Iran is acquiring breakout capability and provide more time for the West to construct a coherent plan. In the best-case scenario, increasing sanctions would cause enough economic pain to compel the Iranian regime to surrender its nuclear program outright.”

Last Thursday, speaking of the Geneva accords, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said that “adopting them is a mistake of historic proportions.”

History is often a record of mistakes made in the face of aggression and evidence of duplicity. The Geneva accords with Iran would fulfill Netanyahu’s warning.

NO TO REFORM -- YES TO REPEAL OBAMACARE


Happy Veteran's Day!


Christie the Dem's Choice for GOP Presidential Candidate ... J. D. Longstreet

Christie the Dem's Choice for GOP Presidential Candidate
A Commentary by J. D. Longstreet

***************

There are lots of things that are sure and certain like:  death, taxes, and democrats will cheat during elections.  Now we can add another to the ever growing list.  The Dems want Chris Christie, of New Jersey, to be the the GOP candidate for President in 2016.

The Mainstream Media, which is the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, has already begun its less than subtle campaign to secure that position for Christie. 
The President's plan to utterly destroy the GOP is on the cusp of total success and having Christie as the 2016 GOP candidate for President would be the cherry on top.

Look.  Christie is, at best, a moderate to liberal, progressive republican.  This is the wing of the republican party that relegated the party to the wilderness for 40 years and is, in fact, doing it again -- even as we write this piece.

 I am convinced that Christie's wing of the GOP doesn't want to lead.  They are happiest when the democrats lead and they can stand back and take high sounding pot shots while becoming the perpetual loyal opposition.

Conservative republicans interested in leadership and especially in leading the country out of its malaise and back to world leadership had better get out of the GOP --  right now -- and form another party -- a party that will aggressively challenge the democrats who are quickly sewing up the political scene in America for at least a generation.

The leftist American press is assuring Americans that Christie is among the most electable GOP candidates in the running today.  What they fail to tell the American readership is this:  There are NO electable GOP candidates running today for President of the US.  NONE!

Look.  The 2016 presidential election is already lost to the Democrats.  The Dems already have the electoral college vote wrapped up. 

Consider this from an article by Myra Adams at The Daily Beast:   "After totaling the electoral votes in all the terminally blue states, an inconvenient math emerges, providing even a below average Democrat presidential candidate a potential starting advantage of 246. Here are the states and their votes:

CA (55), NY (29), PA (20), IL (20), MI (16), NJ (14), WA (12), MA (11), MN (10), WI (10), MD (10), CT (7), OR (7), HI (4), ME (4), NH (4), RT (4), VT (3), DE (3), DC (3).

Let me repeat, if only for the shock value: 246 votes out of 270 is 91 percent. That means the Democrat candidate needs to win only 24 more votes out of the remaining 292. (There are a total of 538 electoral votes.)  (Emphasis by underlining mine.)  SOURCE:  http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/08/18/can-a-republican-win-270-electoral-votes-in-2016-or-ever.html

I am a life-long conservative and, until this time last year, I was a registered republican.  So, it gives me no pleasure, whatsoever, to make the prediction that Hillary has 2016 wrapped up.  In fact it tends to induce a potent bout of nausea.  But -- there it is.

Should Christie win the GOP nomination, the "stay at home" factor will rule the day on election day 2016.  If you think conservatives stayed at home when Romney was the candidate, in the words of Al Jolson: "You ain't seen nothing yet."   As likable as Christie is -- he is still seen as a northeastern moderate/liberal  candidate unacceptable to southern conservatives -- under any conditions.

But the leftist propaganda mill has already begun to grind out the puff pieces and PR pieces on Christie in an attempt to convince the republican electorate to support the ONLY candidate with any chance of winning against Hillary -- Chris Christie.  It is one of the oldest electioneering tricks in the book.   It is tried and true having worked many times in the past.

For more on the southern conservative feelings about Chris Christie we suggest you visit the Texas Fred Blog and read "Chris Christie Inducted into CAIR’s ‘Best List’ for Fighting ‘Islamophobia’."  You will find it at:  http://www.texasfred.net/archives/22310

This is NOT a new problem or a problem just surfacing for Christie.  An article by Daniel Pipes & Steve Emerson entitled:  "Chris Christie’s Islam Problem"  published at National Review Online in May of 2012 REALLY lifts the skirt on Christie's history of cozzying up to the Muslim community.  It is disturbing to say the very least.  You'll find the article at:   http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/297322/chris-christie-s-islam-problem-daniel-pipes

Probably the most important thing to remember about Chris Christie is this ... he is a republican elected in a solid, I mean SOLID, democrat state.  Conservatives simply do not get elected to the post of governor in New Jersey.  But a RINO (Republican In Name Only) obviously can be -- and has been.

Remember that.
