<p>Prologue:  This is a story of two Stone Age chieftains, who <a href="http://http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=first-americans-researchers-reconsider-peopling-new-world">migrated to America during the last Ice Age</a>, approximately twenty thousand years ago: one came from the East and one came from the West, but before you begin to recite the teachings of Archaeology from twenty years ago, you might be surprised to know of startling new discoveries about the migration of man and the inconvenient facts surrounding the theories of  Anthropomorphic Global Warming. </p>
<p>The Whale People, Their Homeland (Europe&#8217;s Western Coast, now submerged)</p>
<p>Yellow Hair was an anomaly; he was ancient, almost forty years old, but strongest among all the men of the Whale People. He was chief of the Whale People, and he ruled his tribe with rules etched in flint. Breaking the rules often meant death for the offender; for life was a tedious and constant struggle between survival and death, and death came all too often twenty-thousand years ago, during the height of the last great Ice Age in the area off the coast of Western France.  </p>
<p>Much of the world&#8217;s water was locked up in ice sheets that a mile high covering much of Europe, Asia, and North America; in fact, the ice sheets covered one-third of the earth&#8217;s land masses and depleted the oceans of so much water, the ocean depths were a hundred meters less than they are now. There were coast lines connecting Europe with North America, and Asia with North America, they extended nearly a thousand miles from north to south on each corridor. It was a temperate area of grasslands and coniferous forests with limited precipitation, because of the amount of water frozen in the glaciers.  There were thousands of creeks and rivers fed by springs and lakes that are now a hundred meters under water. It was a harsh ecosystem that supported the mastodon, a creature much larger than the elephant, as well as musk ox, giant sloths, saber toothed tigers, large bears, caribou, giant moose, elk, horses, and camels, all of whom migrated freely back and forth from Asia and Europe to North America.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/beringia/" rel="attachment wp-att-73207"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Beringia-300x187.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="187" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-73207" /></a></p>
<p>No one knows why the giant glaciers appeared or why they receded, but the Ice Ages were real events in the story of the earth; the Ice Ages spanned tens of thousands of years and facilitated the dispersal of man all over the world.</p>

<p>The Whale People were a hardy bunch that had drawn their genetic pools from the blue and green eyed traders from the East, the tall, blonde haired, white skinned people from the land to the North, and the darker people of the South.  It was a fairly short walk from North Africa to what would become Spain; the drought conditions of the world brought on by so much water being sequestered in ice forced many of the darker people of Africa to migrate north to be near the life giving water from glacial melt in summer and the springs that formed creeks and rivers on the Southern boundaries of the European Glacier and to the western shores of Spain and France. <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-11-aspx-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-73225"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-11.aspx_1.jpeg" alt="" width="264" height="198" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73225" /></a></p>
<p>The Whale People had originally occupied a coastal area that was next to the Southern ice shield of Europe approximately twenty-thousand years ago. Almost nothing could survive on these ever increasing glaciers that covered large portions of the continents, but there was a strip of new land exposed from the ocean depths, extending well beyond our present shorelines, because of so much of the earth&#8217;s water being frozen in the glaciers. This strip of land was warmed by the ocean, but it still remained a cold climate in summer, from the cooling effects of the great mass of ice on its borders.  On this narrow strip of land, a micro-climate existed that had allowed animals, grasses, and a few hardy trees to proliferate in a wondrous abundance for tens of thousands of years, but the pressure by humans and the ever encroaching ice was reducing the availability of food sources and thus the livable space was under fierce competition by all species, but the competition among humans was the probably the fiercest.</p>
<p>Yellow Hair&#8217;s tribe had occupied the Southern coastal regions since the beginning of time or at least as far back as their oral history recorded their time here on earth. Yellow Hair wasn&#8217;t a singer who memorized the family lines and history of his tribe, but he knew his fathers had been chiefs far back in time. He had remembered his fathers and his personal history by assigning each of them, one of his fingers. He could go back in time by looking at a finger and tell you the name of that father, going back in time, nine generations.</p>

<p>The Ice People, The Migration (From Central Asia)</p>
<p>Tiger Paw loved to hunt and here in the land of the North Star, this land the North People call Beringia (the land bridge connecting Siberia to Alaska), the hunting was better than in the stories of the First Days.  </p>
<p>It was told in the oral traditions of history, on the nights of the full moon, of how his people, the Ice People, had followed the herds over the Great Grasslands and forests to the West, just South of the great walls of ice.  In the beginning, they were the first people, because the Father of the Ice had shown them great favor by providing them with flint for spears and the many animals to hunt.  At first everyone was hungry during the winter, but the Father of the Ice liked the Ice People and gave them the beasts of the Steppes and the stone technology to kill the beasts, he also gave them fire and taught the women how to cook and how to brain tan furs and leather.  </p>
<p>They learned that the brain of each animal, when allowed to break down to a gelatinous mass in a covered ceramic bowl, was sufficient to tan its own hide.  They marveled at the skills of the ice Father and how he put all these mysteries of life within reach of those with the intelligence to figure out the answers.  The Ice Father taught the women to love the hunters and to entertain them at night, so the tribe would be happy and always have new little ones.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-4-aspx-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-73174"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-4.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="93" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-73174" /></a></p>
<p>Tiger Paw’s belief was essentially correct in the oral history of his tribe, but his concept of time wasn’t capable of comprehending the enormity of his tribe’s migration.  His ancestors started moving east through the mountains and grasslands of Southern Russia and Northern Asia, several thousand years ago.  Using the logic of 20,000 years ago, they figured the sun was always refueled in the East and traveled overhead to the West, only to get tired at the end of each day, needing to sleep through the night to be strong and hot the next morning, much like the hunter who hunts all day, breeds his woman at night, and then sleeps to be strong in the morning.  They wanted to see this land where the sun is refreshed; there is surely much fuel to warm the sun, just beyond the horizon to the east.  Sadly, the sun seemed to be weakening, because the great ice sheets were getting larger and eating more and more land.  They were over a mile high and moving to the South at the rate of several man strides every day.  </p>
<p>The idea of a great source of fuel to the East, was essentially the idea for migrating to the East.  For over a thousand years, they followed the basic idea of moving east, always east.  There were hostile tribes to contend with and periods of starvation coupled with disease, but they kept moving east.  </p>
<p>Their culture and customs were ill suited for sedentary life.  It was a simple matter of hygiene; a concept that was understood by sedentary tribes, for they knew that human waste was dangerous and should be deposited in a hole dug specifically for that purpose, they also understood the need to maintain clean drinking water. </p>
<p> <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-3-aspx-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-73175"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-3.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="237" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73175" /></a></p>
<p>It seems a simple concept, but migrating people rarely suffered from the ravages of cholera and dysentery, for they rarely made camp for longer than it took for a kill to be consumed or to spoil, except in the winter and the effects of disease were lessened during the extreme cold of winter.  </p>
<p>Sedentary tribes, without cultural customs for contending with human waste, were condemned to die of disease if they stayed too long in one place.  The problem was self-correcting in time, since tribes that lacked certain cultural conventions were weakened and often annihilated by other tribes who looked upon them as unclean or they simply died out from the ravages of disease.</p>
<p>During the migration of the Ice People, they had acquired many customs from the women they had traded for and the occasional lost hunter they had adopted.  Even though Tiger Paw believed his tribe to be the only true people walking the earth, he understood advantages in acquiring new people with new technologies and customs.</p>

<p>The Whale People of Europe</p>
<p>Nine generations would place Yellow Hair&#8217;s father in the time when the great mother whale, Olalla of the big wild salt water, gave birth to man and all the creatures of the earth. In Yellow Hair&#8217;s mind, his distant relative was the first human to slide through Olalla&#8217;s birth canal and swim to shore; therefore, his birthright was one of leadership and a semi-divinity, for he was a direct descendant of Olalla. He couldn&#8217;t explain the bloodlines of other people or even those in his tribe and he forbid himself and others from asking frivolous questions that complicate the simple explanations of their life.</p>
<p>It was this natural birth of Yellow Hair&#8217;s relative that intrigued the Whale People and provided the common bond that held them together.  The secrets of their existence and their connection with divinity was thought to exist through the navel of Yellow Hair, for that umbilical connection was directly related to Olalla the Whale Mother who had birthed the first relative of Yellow Hair, the very first human.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, it was the natural scheme of their life that was in jeopardy at this time; for the success of the Whale People made them the envy of many tribes. They had mastered the science of not only trapping great bounties of salmon in the rivers, but more importantly, they smoked and dried the salmon over smoldering fires to preserve them for months. This was a quantum leap in technology for the people of the world. News spread for over a thousand miles to the East along with the tasty morsels of the pink colored fish flesh.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/200px-venus_von_willendorf_01/" rel="attachment wp-att-73245"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/200px-Venus_von_Willendorf_01-159x300.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-73245" /></a></p>
<p>Tribes with many huge warriors and advanced stone weapons ventured into the traditional lands of the Salmon People and brought many wondrous trade goods to trade for the smoked salmon of the Whale People. Trade was good for the Whale people, but some of these tribes decided to stay and there were now tribes camped in their winter hunting grounds and on their fishing grounds.<br />
<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/00000-aaaaa-stone-age-man/" rel="attachment wp-att-73246"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/00000-aaaaa-STONE-AGE-MAN-222x300.jpg" alt="" width="222" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-73246" /></a><br />
The winters were too cold to fish in the great salt water and the rivers and creeks were frozen. Rather than eat smoked salmon all winter, the Whale people had learned the different migration routes of the Caribou and devised traps to catch the Caribou in blind canyons for the winter. If there was enough feed for the Caribou, they would slaughter them as they needed meat; if the valley floor ran out of the lichens that the Caribou eat, they would slaughter them all at once and smoke the flesh like that of the salmon. In a gaunt world of starvation and hardship, the Whale People lived in a world of plenty.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-6-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73176"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-6.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="277" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73176" /></a></p>
<p>They were happy to live under the leadership of Yellow Hair; not only was he divine, but he was a fair and intelligent leader, who could sense when and where the Caribou were migrating and when the Salmon started their runs or when there was a whale trapped in a small estuary by the tide.  His people made boats with oak frames with greased leather for hulls that worked well if you kept the hide well greased with seal oil or whale blubber. </p>
<p>If his people observed the rules, they lived in harmony within the group: if they broke the law, Yellow Hair might cut their throat or trade them into slavery. He was feared, but loved as well. He was the nucleus that kept his tribe strong.</p>
<p>In these early days and up up until the present, there were several aspects of a society that needed to be worked into a particular culture for that society to exist and thrive. Survival, procreation, food, and leadership were all important elements that had to be defined culturally for a tribe to exist. If the rules or laws were broken, the society broke down.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/5058996359_4de88f7ba0_s-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-73247"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/5058996359_4de88f7ba0_s.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="75" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-73247" /></a></p>
<p>Yellow Hair could control his own people; unfortunately, there were other tribes moving in and occupying their traditional Caribou hunting grounds. They observed the Caribou techniques of the Whale People and just repaired the log fences and gaits while waiting for the Caribou to pass through the mountain valleys.</p>
<p>This was no problem for Yellow Hair, he knew the mountain passes and could divert the Caribou with fire and by dressing his men in wolf and bear hides to drive the Caribou into different blind canyons. He would just build new gaits and fences at the entrances. These new people would have to live off the few Caribou that might be separated and the odd elk, horse, camel, or moose they could kill. If they were desperate or if they found a mastodon trapped in mud or lame, they could fight the mastodon to the death, for it was only possible to kill one at great risk to the hunters.  He knew these new green and blue eyed people would often be facing starvation and that the Whale People almost always had plenty of Caribou and fish; therefore, they were at risk from these starving tribes.</p>
<p>These interlopers should have stayed in their own country, Yellow Hair reasoned. They were unfit for life between the ice and the salt sea. Their eyes were light colored and they suffered from the sun&#8217;s glare, their skin was too white in color and they couldn&#8217;t work naked in the glacier fed waters to catch the salmon. They didn&#8217;t engage in ritual washing and smoking their bodies in the traditional way. That alone prevented them from being hardy enough to survive the fierce cold and winds of these ancient lands. The blue and green eyed people were weak beyond measure, but they were large people and dangerous.  <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/250px-venus_of_brassempouy-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-73248"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/250px-Venus_of_Brassempouy.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="195" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73248" /></a></p>
<p>Yellow Hair knew he carried the seed of the first human, but it was this first human&#8217;s lusty ways and hunger for wild women of the forests that had produced all these uncultured barbarians.  This ancient father had produced these excess humans of his own blood, and were now posing a threat to the very existence of the Whale People.  </p>
<p>Yellow Hair had little sympathy for weakness, he had seen a weakness of character in the previous chief, his own father, and challenged the chief to personal combat for leadership of the tribe and to possess the young princess wife of his father.  He killed his own father and claimed his father&#8217;s earthly goods and wives as his own. He was hardy enough, but that was back when men were men. (The weakest of the men was many times stronger than an NFL linebacker.) In those early days they hunted and killed the near humans for sport. There weren&#8217;t enough of them left now to worry over; besides, they can&#8217;t speak words, the men run like pregnant women, and they make the crudest tools and weapons. They are laughable, but in a wrestling match they are deadly, for they are strong like the mastodon. No, it is much safer to kill them with spears from a goodly distance. The near humans&#8217;s muscles are so large, they can only thrust a spear, if they try to throw a spear it is laughable.  </p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t like to think about it, but these near humans, might be the result of his relative, the First Human, coupling with some creature of the forest.  It was an ugly thought, but how else do you explain the presence of these near humans.  He tried not to dwell on the negative aspects of the heritage of the First Human, but sometimes this irresponsible behavior of his family was embarrassing and impossible to ignore.</p>
<p>Yellow Hair had several wives and at least nine children, aged from twenty-four years to one winter. He enjoyed his kids; however, they were expected to meet the same requirements for life and work as everyone else, if the rules were relaxed for his family, he knew there would be resentment among his people. </p>
<p>Women who chose a mate from another tribe were expected to leave, but if a suitable mate was a loner and could prove himself as far as fishing, hunting, courage, and work, he could be accepted into the tribe. Yellow Hair would never allow slackers and free loaders a wooden soup bowl; charming a maiden of his tribe, did not warrant a free meal around the cook fire. <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-9-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73249"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-9.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="264" height="198" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73249" /></a> </p>
<p>Everyone had to contribute with meaningful work or be banished or possibly executed by Yellow Hair. Life was a precious gift, but the nature of living next to the ice made it imperative that everyone worked to insure survival of the group. When the Salmon got lost and didn&#8217;t return to their rivers and creeks in sufficient numbers or the Caribou were called by Olalla to rest a year and not migrate, the old frail people were expected to walk alone into the night and not return, infanticide was also practiced to keep the numbers of the tribe down when food was scarce to help keep the nutritional requirements low. There were always hard decisions to be made, but the Whale People realized they must be ready to sacrifice just to survive next to the ice.</p>
<p>Killing a huge mastodon could mean survival through the winter, but unless they were mired in a bog hole or suffering from a severe lameness, it was far too dangerous to try and kill them and even when they were trapped, it often took hours to kill the monsters and many times his hunters were killed as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-5-aspx-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-73177"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-5.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="168" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73177" /></a></p>
<p>Sea lions were also dangerous to kill for they could travel much faster than a man can run. They were usually killed with a fusillade of spears when the animal was caught sunning himself beneath a ledge. The spears were made with sharp narrow points and heavier shafts, but the lighter javelin was also used, these weapons were designed to penetrate a tough hide and several layers of blubber; unless, the spear throws were lethal, the animal would run to the sea to escape and a valuable cache of spears and javelins would be lost with him. The sea lions were unafraid of humans and would run over a man who stood in his way as if he wasn&#8217;t there. The man would be crushed under several tons of sea lion, traveling faster than a horse.</p>
<p>The wild horses were trapped in blind canyons like the caribou, but they were more wary than the caribou and often sensed a trap and would turn just before being caught, to run over the men and sacrifice a few members of the herd to insure that the herd would survive.</p>
<p>Stealth and hunting discipline was primary in killing any of these animals, for even though man was a strong lethal killer, if an animal turned to fight and a man was caught without his weapon, humans always died. Yellow Hair explained to his elder sons, Sea Otter and Ivory Tusk, that Olalla, the whale mother that had birthed their first father, had given them superior brains to stand against the fierce animals of the grasslands and the ocean; otherwise they would have starved long ago. They accepted these truths without question; yet, there were many unanswered mysteries for the twenty year old lads.</p>

<p>The Ice People of Asia</p>
<p>Often the men had some hunting trick or knowledge of nature that helped them secure food: the women the hunters acquired for wives, always brought new knowledge of food preparation and garment making that made life better for the Ice People.</p>
<p>Several generations ago, the Ice People adopted a small band of tiny people with black silky hair (from the tribes that would form Japan, then a mountainous area connected to Asia and on the Eastern shore of a large lake).  Their tribe had been wiped out by barbarians and they were starving.  Chief Four Fingers, Tiger Paw&#8217;s grandfather, was intrigued by the women and thought if they had some meat on their bones they would be intriguing bed warmers.</p>
<p>The kindness shown by Four Fingers was rewarded not only by having attractive bed warmers, but these people were excellent fishermen, they also knew how to smoke fish and meats, but most importantly, they understood boatbuilding and using a mast with a short gaff rigged sail and rudder.</p>
<p>Although, the Ice People were on the coast, it is important to remember that so much water was frozen in the great ice sheets, that the ocean depth was reduced by over a hundred meters.  The land bridge connecting Alaska and Siberia was over a thousand miles wide.  Coastal areas often extended hundreds of miles farther into the sea than they do now.  Thousands of rivers and creeks existed that are now on the sea floor.  Beringia was a dry grassland that teemed with migrating herds traveling freely between Asia and North America.</p>
<p>Four Fingers had welcomed these fishermen into the tribe and did his best to insure the little people adopted the Ice Culture, but the technology that was gained by the little people was transforming their culture.  He was primarily concerned with the combining the two DNA groups by spreading his seed around as much as possible, but the cultural and technological aspects of these ancient fishermen kept the Ice People from starving many times.</p>
<p>The original DNA pool of the Ice People had been slowly diluted for thousands of years as they traveled through Asia, along the borders of the ice; but rather than weakening the gene pool of the Ice People, they became stronger.  Instead of a fair-haired tribe with green and blue eyes, they were primarily dark haired people with almond eyes.  There would be an occasional child born with round blue eyes and fair hair, amid great laughter and jokes directed toward the mother and father, but the Ice People were a loving people and the throwback was always accepted as one of the true people.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-1-aspx-3/" rel="attachment wp-att-73178"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-1.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="198" height="132" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73178" /></a></p>
<p>The Ice People had managed to keep their own numbers close to one hundred hunters, not counting women and children.  They lived well, but there were dangers from larger hostile tribes.  Many tribes were driven into Beringia by starvation, but killing the great mastodon required advanced hunting skills and coordination among hunters; and yet, the skills for hunting horses, camels, muskox, caribou, and other animals of this huge grassland were advanced as well.  Fishing required the skills and knowledge for building fish traps and a willingness to work naked in near freezing cold water.  Boat building skills consisted of carefully burning and scraping a log with sharp instruments, until a boat shaped form appeared.  Their sails were abbreviated, since the heavy keel technology would take thousands of years to be discovered; however, with paddles, these fairly fast, sleek canoe type vessels could be used for fishing and sealing and perhaps more importantly for continued migration to the land of fuel to the East.</p>
<p>The Ice People were hunting and fishing on the Northern edge of the glacier that extended into Southern British Columbia and north into the Yukon and Alaska.  Although, it was an enormous glacier, in comparison to the glacier to the East, covering the rest of Canada and much of the US, it was a miniature glacier.  Tiger Paw&#8217;s People knew there was a corridor of excellent winter hunting between the two glaciers, but they were also enjoying excellent fishing and sealing in the stormy salt sea, during the summer months.</p>
<p>Life was good for the Ice People, but with success in the struggle for life, comes those who want to steal that success.</p>

<p>The Whale People of Europe</p>
<p>Both of Yellow Hair&#8217;s sons had chosen good mates from outside the tribe. Yellow Hair had examined the potential mates closely for sickness or deformities and then deemed them sound women suitable for work and childbirth. He had paid a man&#8217;s weight in smoked salmon and several pairs of winter moccasins for the young girls, but each one had been an excellent purchase from the barbarian tribes of green and blue eyes, since they each produced a healthy son for the tribe. Thus his tribe would be guaranteed to survive with the superior intellect and knowledge that Yellow Hair was passing on to his sons. Yellow Hair was respected by his tribe for his infinite knowledge of nature, animals, survival, food preservation, weather, the seasons, and the land itself.</p>
<p>Mates were an important aspect of tribal life, adultery was not permitted without a formal declaration by a woman in front of the tribe at dinner. A man could have several wives if he could care for them, but if one of them stated her desire to be with another, there might be a fight to the death or the choice might go unchallenged for various reasons. Yellow Hair was a detached observer and official of these domestic disputes. Someone might die in a fight as a result of hard feelings and tempestuous desires, so the divorce option was not to be taken lightly. He thought it was a good system that helped keep his tribe strong and stable and especially, in helping to control these wild mating desires of both men and women.</p>
<p>Yellow Hair liked to keep about a hundred men in the tribe and twice that many women. The number of children fluctuated, because so many children died from the harsh life. It was obvious that Olalla wanted only the strongest of children to survive and she had to test them every winter. Everyone was expected to work in the cold glaciers streams to help catch the salmon and the boys were expected to join in the difficult and dangerous hunts. The work of women was much safer, but many of them died in childbirth, so in time, Olalla provided twice as many women as men. Yellow Hair also purchased wives for his men, when there always seemed to be a shortage of unmarried women. </p>
<p>He gave them a thorough physical exam before purchase. He demanded clear eyes, preferably of the earth colors and not the colors of plants and sky, broad hips for child birth, good sound teeth that met in a fairly uniform manner, well formed milk paps, and a well formed birth canal with no infection.</p>
<p>He had an unfortunate incident in the past, a woman was infected and gave birth to two blind children. Yellow Hair had been forced to kill the babies and after becoming suspicious, he examined the woman and discovered that she was infected. He killed her and drove her husband out of the village to prevent the spread of infection to other members of the tribe. He hesitated to only banish the man, who was a cousin of his, rather than kill him, for he knew the infection would probably continue through the populations of other tribes.</p>
<p>Yellow Hair had picked his eldest son, Ivory Tusk, to succeed him as chief. The lad was strong, had good eyes, and an uncanny way of understanding the animals and fish.  He was a good strong son.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/stone-age-man/" rel="attachment wp-att-73179"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/stone-age-man.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="267" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73179" /></a></p>
<p>It all happened very quickly.  A group of several tribes raided the fishing camp in the early morning before the sun chased away the thick fog.  They intended to kill and rob the Whale People of their dried salmon.  Many of the Whale men were overwhelmed and killed, the survivors were forced to retreat to their canoes.  They lost over half the adults and most of the children in the initial minutes of the attack.  They had few personal belongings with them, but they felt lucky to escape with their lives.  They pushed the canoes into the surf as spears were landing around them.  They managed to retrieve a few of the spears that were thrown, but they escaped with only a few stones for knives and a few spears.</p>
<p>Yellow Hair counted people, there were forty-five men and twenty-three women with just a few suckling children and adolescents that had survived the raid.  They had suffered a terrible defeat.  The raiders might be following them in the extra canoes, they kept paddling all day to the North.  Ivory Tusk was wounded in the gut and in a few hours, he could no longer continue to paddle.  Yellow Hair took the time to transfer him to his canoe. <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-23-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73230"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-23.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="264" height="198" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73230" /></a></p>
<p>He looked his brave, handsome son in the eye and felt tears for the first time, since he was a child.  &#8220;Olalla is calling you home&#8221; he said, &#8220;You have the chance to see her in this world, before you cross over to the spirit world.  Are you ready, to see the Whale Mother?&#8221; </p>
<p>Ivory Tusk nodded his head, yes, and looked to the blue sky of morning, while thongs secured his legs and arms to prevent him from swimming and prolonging his agony.  He was proud to be a strong leader like his father and made sure to maintain his honor and dignity as the men prepared him for the depths.</p>
<p>His father said to him, &#8220;We will sing of you at the winter fires and I will see you in the Spirit World, my son,&#8221; as he slipped his son&#8217;s bound body into the great salt sea.</p>
<p>The Whale People all said their goodbyes as Ivory Tusk disappeared under the waves and still looking up at them, the Whale People then resumed paddling as the storm clouds began forming.</p>

<p>The Ice People of Asia</p>
<p>Tiger Paw knew there were food thefts taking place by some of the other tribes and some of them were making threatening signs at kill sites.  Life was hard in Beringia, starvation was everywhere, the Ice People were well fed, their women had meat on their bones and produced children every year or two; they were successful, but the other tribes wanted this good life and the riches associated with success and eating well.  </p>
<p>The Ice People had a simple life and a simple formula for success, but it required a keen observation of nature, the intelligence to apply the skills of hunting, and the willingness to work tirelessly to secure food; for everything was easier if you secured food.  If you had excess food, like dried and smoked fish and meat, you could trade for tools, weapons, furs, and women.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-24-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73229"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-24.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73229" /></a></p>
<p>Tribes who weren&#8217;t successful had to trade their women and girls for food to live; eventually, the young men of less successful tribes became despondent and angry.  They looked at the wealth of Tiger Paw&#8217;s people and wondered why their tribe wasn&#8217;t rich with the bounty of the world.  After all, the bounty was put on earth for everyone, all the tribes should have healthy women and dried fish; the Ice People were just acting like bears, they took their share and everyone else&#8217;s share as well.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-11-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73224"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-11.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="264" height="198" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73224" /></a></p>
<p>Blue Duck, the only son of Chief One Eye, of the Muskeg people, was one of those consumed with envy and hatred.  He and several of his companions watched as a small band of Ice People brought down one of the giant moose with several well placed spear throws.  He was incredulous that women accompanied the men on the hunt.  This fact alone made his heart burn with hatred and anger; these people had no respect for the ancient customs of his people and now they were going to enjoy the tasty internal morsels of this magnificent animal, an animal that rightfully belonged to Blue Duck and his people.  He decided it was time for the Muskeg people to assert their authority over the greedy tribes of the world and take what is rightfully theirs.</p>
<p>The three men of the Ice People had the moose deboned and cut into roast sized pieces that were packed into six backpacks, while the women prepared a feast of the heart and liver cut into small chunks and stuffed into the stomach with blueberries, onions, and edible grasses that the moose had eaten on his own.  The stomach was roasted over the coals until it swelled and pressure cooked the contents into a nutritious feast for the three couples.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-21-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73228"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-21.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="234" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73228" /></a></p>
<p>Blue Duck gathered his hunters around him and devised a plan; they would sneak up on the camp and attack the group when they started to eat the wrongfully acquired feast.  They would kill the men and try to capture the women; if the women fought too hard, they would kill them as well.  They would then eat the feast and pack the meat back to their own camp.  It was a momentous decision, the men were reluctant to resort to murder and theft, but their stomachs had been empty for a week and they had not known a woman for months.</p>
<p>Blue Duck had five men to attack three men and three women in a camp that was celebrating.  It was almost dark by the time they had crawled close enough to hear the Ice People laughing and talking.  They crawled to within several caribou strides, just after dark.  The stomach had the entrance and exit sections tied in a knot and it was under extreme pressure from the steam and heat locked inside.  One of the men split the top with his flint knife and the delicious aroma made the Ice people cheer and laugh, while the Muskeg men felt their senses sharpened by the scent of food; until, they were even more determined to commit murder and mayhem.</p>
<p>The Ice People let their meal cool for a few minutes, while they waited with their wooden spoons ready to dig into the stomach. <a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-13-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73222"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-13.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="146" height="211" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73222" /></a> </p>
<p>Blue Duck had his right index finger in the air to remind his men to wait for his signal, before beginning the attack.</p>
<p>Just as the Ice People closed around the stomach to eat, Blue Duck and his men attacked with a fierce savagery.  The Ice men were each killed with multiple wounds from the spears.  An older woman managed to jump on the back of one of the attackers and mortally wound him through the neck with a knife, before a spear entered her rib cage from the side and pierce both her lungs.  A second woman was hit in the mouth with the butt end of a spear and fell backwards in an unconscious state.  The men fell on the meal and had turns breeding the woman like a pack of ravenous wolves.  It was an hour or two later, before Blue Duck noticed a woman was missing.  He tried to get his men to leave, but once a leader encourages his men to break the cultural laws, the men begin to lose respect for that man&#8217;s leadership and authority; besides, their bellies were distended after eating like animals and they were exhausted after having their way repeatedly with the woman, who now appeared to be lifeless.  They wanted to sleep and leave in the morning, and there was nothing Blue Duck could do to get them moving.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-12-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73223"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-12.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="264" height="174" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73223" /></a></p>
<p>Blue Duck realized it was hopeless and drifted off to sleep.  Just before morning, a well disciplined group of hunters, led by Bear Killer, son of Tiger Paw, descended on Blue Duck and his men and within seconds, three more of the Muskeg men were dead, Blue Duck and another were wounded, but still alive.  </p>
<p>They brought the wounded men back to Tiger Paw&#8217;s camp and tied them to a tree.  Tiger Paw raged inside, but he didn&#8217;t show emotion to his people or to these criminals.  He used his serrated flint knife, with an edge as sharp as a surgeon&#8217;s scalpel, but far more durable, to cut the fur clothing from the two men, exposing their nakedness. </p>
<p>Blue Duck was screaming threats and insults, but his efforts were wasted, for the Ice People noticed the silhouette tattoo of a right hand on Blue Duck&#8217;s chest.  It was a well known symbol of a chief&#8217;s hand, designating his choice for leadership; it was a black tattoo done with ashes.</p>
<p>This was big medicine for the Ice People; it could mean war, the Muskeg tribe was a large tribe with oversized people, who were often starving.</p>
<p><iframe width="550" height="309" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MMRS-SPBV50?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>The Whale People of Europe</p>
<p>The Whale People followed the shore line and passed camps on shore with people who waved to them, but yellow Hair pushed on wanting to find a new hunting and fishing ground.  The shoreline no longer allowed them to head north, they had been paddling west for several days when the storm clouds finally unleashed a fury on the Whale People.  The waves were higher than the boats were long.  Yellow Hair yelled to the other leaders to paddle to the peak of the waves at an angle and to paddle down at a high rate of speed to keep the waves from cresting and breaking over the top of them and burying them under a wall of water.  </p>
<p>It was hopeless, the canoe captains couldn&#8217;t hear him over the noise of the storm; hopefully, his captains would follow his lead and survive the storm.  He saw one of the canoes trapped in the trough, when a huge wave many times as high as a man buried them and drove them to the bottom of the salt water.</p>
<p>The storm raged for three days and at the end, the Whale People were so exhausted they collapsed in the hulls of their canoes and let the storm have its way with them.  Yellow Hair awoke on the fourth morning and looked out to see only one other canoe floating near-by.  The temperature was mild, nearly seventy degrees, Yellow Hair had never felt such a mild temperature, on the shore, there was a forest of huge trees he had never seen before.  He thought he might be in the Spirit World.  He called out to the other boat, three men, including his youngest son, sat up and waved.  There was also a woman in that canoe with a suckling child.  There were three men and an adolescent girl in his canoe.  Yellow Hair made a motion with is hand towards shore and the two canoes landed on a sandy shore; although, they were a hundred and fifty miles from the present coast of Virginia, they were the first Europeans to reach the East Coast of North America.  </p>
<p>That night at low tide, they walked far out on a sand bar to look for the tell-tale yellow flickering of campfires in the distance: for the first time in their lives, they realized they were utterly alone in the world, like the beginning of time and being born by Olalla, they were alone in the world.</p>
<p>The Ice People of Asia<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-20-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73221"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-20.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="184" height="116" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73221" /></a></p>
<p>Tiger Paw knew this was a crucial and defining moment in the leadership of his tribe.  His son and his raiding party had been correct in their method of revenge on this Chief&#8217;s son and his raiding party and now Blue Duck was screaming for mercy.  Tiger Paw yelled for a wooden gag to be placed in each of the captive&#8217;s mouths and tied behind their heads with a leather thong.  He skinned the tattoo from the chest of Blue Duck and tied it with a thong to the neck of the other captive.  </p>
<p>Tiger Paw then ordered his son to take half the tribe and circle the North end of the glacier and head south through the Yukon and into British Columbia.  They were loaded and starting their migration within the hour. It was a big gamble; Tiger Paw had no idea whether the two glaciers maintained a corridor of land between them, he just had a fairly good hunch that there was a corridor of good hunting between the glaciers.  </p>
<p>They had to leave this country or be annihilated by the Muskeg People.  There were only enough canoes for half the tribe.  He might be sending his son and half his tribe to their doom, but he knew the coast line couldn&#8217;t support people traveling by land; therefore, there was no choice, he had to send half his people inland.  He told his son to follow the Western Glacier and he would meet him at the southern end of the ice, in the area that was to become Seattle; Tiger Paw would take half the tribe by boat and they will join up at the end of the ice.</p>
<p>He turned to Blue Duck and emasculated him, so that his father would know he would never reproduce in the spirit world and certainly not on this earth ever again.  He waited until Blue Duck had accepted his fate and was no longer struggling, he then cut his throat and ordered the rest of his people into their canoes.  He let Blue Duck&#8217;s warrior go with his hands tied behind him and the tattoo still tied to his neck.  </p>
<p>Tiger Paw and the rest of the Ice people left Beringia forever.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-19-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73220"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-19.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="165" height="300" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73220" /></a></p>
<p>Tiger Paw and his did meet each other in the Puget Sound area, but Tiger Paw had no idea it would take twelve years for his son to make the trip.  Tiger Paw&#8217;s son had gray hair and Tiger Paw was now little more than an ancient old man, but for the survivors it was a great reunion and a chance for marriages and procreation.</p>
<p>Eventually, nearly five hundred years later, the descendants of Tiger Paw and Yellow Hair would meet in the area that was to become Omaha, Nebraska.  The names of Tiger Paw and Yellow Hair had been forgotten, but traces of their DNA are still present in many Americans.  The same qualities that drove these chiefs to succeed against all odds and care for their people were carried down through the eons and it is still in the blood of tens of millions of their descendants, now walking the earth in North America.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-16-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73219"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-16.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73219" /></a></p>
<p>Epilogue: This story is of course fiction; however it is based in fact, since we now know that there were land bridges that connected Europe and Asia to North America.  Cultural and technologic traits as well as DNA evidence record the presence of DNA tracings of ancient Europeans among our indigenous native people of North America.  This is significant, because the DNA evidence illustrates, that in spite of superficial cultural differences and phenotypical variation, people are much more closely related than anyone&#8217;s wildest imagination ever dreamed.</p>
<p>It is the author&#8217;s dream, that as new DNA science is discovered, people will have a softening of preconceived ideas of racial differences and a greater harmony can be achieved through knowledge and science, rather than relying on ignorance and cultural division.</p>
<p>Although the events in this article are based on supposition by the author, a man who has experience living on a sharp divide between survival and death, at least more than most people, it is easy to combine human nature with a harsh environment and find these behaviors close to the surface, even with our superior cultural attitudes.  </p>
<p>The envious wailings of the OWS people who bemoan their pitiful existence and hide their selfish pleadings behind the cloak of Marxism and a dubious desire for an end to corruption; yet, their cries for equality seem to be hypocritical at best as they perpetuate and promote a code of lawlessness.  Yes, under the guise of fairness and equality, greed begets more greed and the veneers of advanced culture become laughable with their pretensions of enlightenment.</p>
<p>This article, the preface of a novel, is not meant to belittle prehistoric man, but rather to illustrate that our advancements are mainly technological and we who consider ourselves so highly evolved culturally, are not that far removed from seeking shelter in caves and tents made of hides. </p>
<p>These people are modern in the sense that a baby from their culture could be raised in a twenty-first century family and no one would know the difference, but switching adults would be nearly impossible because of the cultural differences.</p>
<p>The extent of the land bridge between Europe and North America will be argued for decades, but the new DNA evidence suggests that if it was not complete, the exposed land masses permitted human migration with short trips by boat.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/11/25/there-are-no-more-campfires/thumbnail-17-aspx/" rel="attachment wp-att-73218"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/thumbnail-17.aspx_.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="215" class="alignright size-full wp-image-73218" /></a></p>

<p>Europeans are underwhelmed with the latest <a href="http://http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,788807,00.html">Obama Drama</a>.  With the sanctimonious attitude of a faux professor, Obama lectured Europeans on the importance of restoring fiscal responsibility to the European Union.  </p>
<p>As humorous as it sounds, the Europeans found nothing to laugh about; in fact, they are insulted and indignant over the presumption of a profligate wastrel like Obama lecturing anyone concerning fiscal responsibility. </p>
<p>In California on Monday the 26th Obama warned the Europeans about their debt, stating that the European inaction was:</p>
<blockquote><p> scaring the world.  (That they)&#8230;have not fully healed from the crisis back in 2007 and never fully dealt with all the challenges that their banking system faced. It&#8217;s now being compounded by what&#8217;s happening in Greece.  They&#8217;re going through a financial crisis that is scaring the world, and they&#8217;re trying to take responsible actions, but those actions haven&#8217;t been quite as quick as they need to be.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Europeans feel he is merely searching for another scapegoat to pin his own failures upon for the Americans to whom he was pandering for donations for his reelection campaign.</p>
<p>Geitner added to his own cartoonish caricature at the annual meeting of the International Money Fund and the World Bank by warning that the European debt crisis is:</p>
<blockquote><p>the most serious risk now confronting the world economy. He said Europeans needed to do more to create a &#8220;firewall&#8221; against further contagion and talked of the threat of &#8220;cascading default&#8221; and runs on banks. &#8220;Decisions as to how to conclusively address the region&#8217;s problems cannot wait until the crisis gets more severe.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Germans reacted angrily to Geitner&#8217;s arcane remarks by replying that the US is in no position to offer advice with its $14 trillion national debt.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/09/28/obamas-lecture-on-the-euro-crisis-%e2%80%a6-is-overbearing-arrogant-and-absurd-the-bild-a-german-newspaper/image-265857-galleryv9-bjus/" rel="attachment wp-att-70097"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/image-265857-galleryV9-bjus-300x193.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-70097" /></a></p>
<p>Unfortunately, European leaders urged Obama to find a solution during the debt ceiling crisis earlier this year, but by Wednesday the German press was ridiculing Obama and Geitner.  The mass-circulation Bild wrote: </p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;Obama&#8217;s lecture on the euro crisis … is overbearing, arrogant and absurd. … In a nutshell, he is claiming that Europe is to blame for the current financial crisis, which is &#8216;scaring the world.&#8217; Excuse me?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The American president seems to have forgotten a few details. The most important trigger of the financial and economic crisis was US banks and their insane real-estate dealings. The US is still piling up debt … The American congress is crippled by a battle between the right and the left. The banks are gambling just as recklessly as they did before the crisis. The president&#8217;s scolding is a pathetic attempt to distract attention from his own failures. How embarrassing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>From the center-left Süddeutsche Zeitung:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;One needs to remember the context within which Obama&#8217;s scolding of the Europeans took place. It was an event where the president was raising money for the Democrats and where he wanted to explain to voters why the US economy is much worse off than he and his economic experts had believed until recently. Hence his criticism of the EU was simple electioneering.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The problem, however, is that the US president is absolutely right. For far too long, the Europeans &#8212; including the Germans &#8212; treated the financial crisis as a purely American problem. They have still found no solution for their own debt crisis. Now Europe&#8217;s problems are having a negative impact on growth and jobs around the world, including in the US. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Europe is threatening Obama&#8217;s already precarious chances of reelection in 2012. That is something that surely does not leave Obama cold. In that respect, it doesn&#8217;t help much to point out that, once the Europeans have got their house in order, the financial markets will return their attention to America&#8217;s debt crisis and its ailing political system. Financially, Europe is currently the most dangerous place in the world.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>From the center-right Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Dark clouds have gathered over the American president. The gloomy state of the economy is putting a dampener on Obama&#8217;s future prospects. The optimism of the past is gone, replaced by a cheap search for a scapegoat.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Obama thinks he has found one. He blames the Europeans for reacting too late to the debt crisis. We Europeans are apparently taking on too little new debt to get out of the crisis. But we are already feeling the wonderful effects of borrowing too much money.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The Obama Myth has crashed and burned in Europe.  They have seen through the hope and hype, while realizing the inane ineptness of our Narcissistic Socialist Ideologue who is to dense to realize that none of his plans or policies have worked.  The only ones who still believe the empty phrases and platitudes are Leftist Ideologues and the feeble minded, but even the Socialist ideologues of Europe realize the incompetence of Obama. </p>

<p>America is for sale and China has the money.  They want 50 square miles South of Boise to build a self-sustained Communist City.  It would be designated and modeled after the &#8220;special economic zone&#8221; cities that currently exist in China.  The Chinese Communist Party owns Sinomach, the company behind the purchase, so the city would belong to the Chinese government.  The city would include manufacturing facilities, warehouses, retail centers, and homes for Chinese workers.</p>
<p>China has allowed foreign colonialist cities to exist in <a href="http://www.freepressers.com/2011/06/china-wants-to-construct-a-50-square-mile-self-sustaining-city-south-of-boise-idaho/">China</a> and now they are willing to turn the tables on America.  Apparently, Idaho can&#8217;t wait to bring in the Chinese Communists and celebrate the presence of Chinese Communism here in America.  The Chinese plan to build several of these cities across America and press for even more profits to drain American dollars from the American economy by treating their cities as portions of Communist China under Chinese law and customs.  It is much cheaper to sell to the American market without shipping products to the US from China.  Their profit margins will be increased by working their workers under Chinese wages rather than paying the traditional high wages of America and avoiding the cost of unionism.</p>
<p>While America has its domestic manufacturing obliterated by cheaper Chinese Communist goods produced right here at home, consumers will have even greater subsidies on cheap inferior goods and the Chinese can funnel American billions even faster to their homeland.  Apparently, this &#8220;self-sustaining&#8221; city will become Chinese property that will allow the Chinese Communists to expand their economic domination.  They have plans to extend these Chinese &#8220;special economic zones&#8221; all over America to have better access to American markets.  </p>
<p>The Chinese government owned company, Sinomach or China National Machinery Industry Corporation, is the one who hopes to own the 10,000 to 30,000 acre city, just South of the Boise Airport. </p>
<p>They aren&#8217;t likely to get an argument from President Obama, who thinks the Chinese system of Communism is far superior to the American system.  </p>
<p>It is doubtful that the American government will be able to take over these Chinese companies like the Chinese companies have a tendency to do with foreign companies.  Although Obama and his boss Soros are ready to start selling America to the highest bidder, are we Americans ready to sell off America to foreign governments and what exactly is the advantage of undercutting American manufacturers by having the Communists producing their goods in America to sell so much cheaper and then to ship what should have been American wealth back to China.  The Open Border Soros/Obama crowds will see this as an opportunity to advance their agenda towards globalization and the international Marxist Revolution, Praise be to Soros, but where is the advantage to the American worker and to American industry.</p>

<p>Is Weiner&#8217;s ignoble retirement a Conservative victory?  No, not really, it is a victory for traditional American values.  Weiner is a borderline pervert, who will either straighten up his life or fall deeper into more dangerous perversions, for his sake, I hope he gets ahold of himself before it is too late.  </p>
<p>We as Americans have a share in the shame of his lying and false criminal accusations, because we have been lenient in dealing with lies and corruption from our leaders in Washington.  Even now, Weiner will have an attractive retirement plan when he turns 62 of $48,000 a year.  Presumably, the looming inflation he has helped promote will wipe that out and make it a trivial amount, but we will be supporting his perversions for the rest of his life, once he is officially retired. This is a stain on America that will be with us for a while.</p>
<p>Weiner has only been a symptom of a much larger problem; hopefully, he will ride into the sunset and disappear forever.  Unfortunately, there is the question of whether his wife, <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/revealed-weiners-in-laws-secret-muslim-brotherhood-connections/">Huma, </a>is an agent for the Muslim Brotherhood, the connections are there with her mother being a member of the &#8220;sisterhood&#8221;.  It is a fact that her family is Fundamentalist islam and deep within the Muslim Brotherhood.  Unless Huma is a Fifth Columnist, Fundamentalist Isamists kill their women for speaking to a non-Muslim.  The information will undoubtably be coming out in the near future, but the fact that hillary Clinton has an Islamic Fundamentalist as a confidant within her State Department will dwarf the Weinergate story.  In the tradition of FDR and the Soviet spies he kept for confidantes, while steadfastly refusing to believe the FBI reports that they were spies, history is repeating itself.</p>
<blockquote><p>Was Huma Abedin — wife of Anthony Weiner and deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton — unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did Western media miss what has been revealed in several Arab newspapers and left secret in American government circles?</p>
<p>Al-Liwa Al-Arabi (translated here) claims to have leaked an extensive list, partially published by Al-Jazeera and several other major Arab newspapers, that includes Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, in the Brotherhood’s secret women’s division — known as the Muslim Sisterhood or International Women’s Organization (IWO).</p>
<p>Information about the IWO can readily be found at the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website. An excerpt from its goal, translated from the Arabic, states:</p>
<p>&#8220;The Women Organization’s goal, in accordance with the Muslim Brotherhood rules, is to gain and acquire a unified global perception in every nation in the world regarding the position of women, and the necessity of advocacy work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood, as written in Women in Muslim Society, and the rearing of women throughout the different stages of life&#8221;.</p>
<p>The Egyptian paper Al-Dostor revealed that the Sisterhood includes 63 international members across 16 different countries — a claim confirmed by the Arab Center for Studies, headed by researcher Abdul Rahim Ali.</p>
<p>Neither Huma nor any major Western media outlets even mention this bit of common knowledge in the Arab world.</p>
<p>But there is more. Also confirmed by Arab sources is that Huma Abedin has a brother who works at Oxford University named Hassan Abedin. Oxford, which has long been infiltrated by Islamists who founded the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS), has Huma’s brother listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board — including al-Qaeda associate Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Both have been listed as OCIS trustees. Naseef continues to serve as Board chairman.</p>
<p>In 2009, Qaradawi’s role within Oxford and the Muslim Brotherhood was championed by the notorious Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi of Al-Nahda – a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate now active in Tunisia. OCIS has even presented an award for great scholarly achievement to Brotherhood member Shaykh Abd Al-Fattah Abu Gudda, whose personal history goes back to the Brotherhood’s founder, Hasan al-Banna.</p>
<p>Even the Sunday Times acknowledges that the cradle of Islamic jihad — Al-Azhar University — actively attempts to establish links with OCIS, where Huma’s brother serves.</p>
<p>Was Huma unaware of all this as she accompanied Hillary Clinton to the Dar El-Hekma women’s college in Saudi Arabia? Huma’s mother is co-founder and vice dean at the college and an active missionary on issues regarding Muslim women.</p>
<p>Another member listed as belonging to the Sisterhood mentioned by Al-Jazeera is Suheir Qureshi. Alongside Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, as well as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was brought in due to her connection with Huma, Qureshi spoke on issues of women in Muslim society. An Arabic news report of what happened during Hillary’s visit stated that:</p>
<p>Suheir Qureshi spoke of how elated she was of Hillary’s historic visit…. Saleha Abedin spoke after Suheir Qureshi and beamed in the presence of Secretary Clinton. Saleha’s speech preceded the former first lady’s. Then Hillary stood. She donned a broad smile as she approached the podium….Clinton started with a strong word and she spent a long time complimenting Dr. Saleha Abedin regarding her daughter. Hillary explained that Huma holds an important and sensitive position in her office. She ended her speech by speaking of Saleha Abedin’s daughter (Huma), that a person must be happy if mentioned in a positive light but there is no happiness that equals the compliment given to children in front of a parent.</p>
<p>It is sacrilege in Islam for Huma’s mother to accept the reality that her daughter is married to a Jew. Yet neither Saleha nor Huma’s brother Hassan denounces her marriage to Weiner, especially when it was considered null and void by some of the highest authorities on Islamic Sharia rulings.</p>
<p>Hillary Clinton signed a document less than one month prior to her trip to Saudi Arabia with Huma that lifted the ban on Tariq Ramadan, allowing him entry into the United States. (Ramadan is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna, and has ties to Islamic terrorist groups.) The Clinton family played a key role in promoting Fethullah Gülen, the extremely powerful Turkish imam and notorious Islamist conspirator, as he fled Turkey for the United States after attempting to overthrow Turkey’s secular government. (He was indicted on this charge in 2000.) In 2008, the former president heaped praise on Gülen, giving him a clean slate. Gülen has been given refuge and has even had sermons aired on Turkish television during which he explained to his followers how to best seize power from the Turkish government:</p>
<p>You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers… until the conditions are ripe….Until that time, any step taken would be too early — like breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside.</p></blockquote>
<p>Americans have so little faith in the politicians of Washington and Weiner has lowered that level of trust even more, but it has become a group effort.  Our president is intent on being able to use missiles and rockets against nations indefinitely, after consulting with the UN, NATO, and the Arab League, while ignoring our congress and its authority.  The president being called the most powerful man in the world has taken on a new meaning.  Pelosi&#8217;s wealth increasing by 62% during the last two years only adds to the mistrust Americans have for our government.  In the mean time, Obama has pledged $2 Billion to Palestine, $2 Billion to Egypt, $20 Billion to Arab Spring, offered $1 Billion ‘loan guarantee’ to Egypt to back their faulty credit standing.  President Obama seems willing to give the shirt off his back to those in need; except, for one minor detail, it&#8217;s not his money: it is the money and future of the US taxpayer being given to the Muslim Brotherhood and to those we have been at war with and will likely be at war with for decades to come.  He can justify the &#8220;Loans&#8221; by borrowing from China, thus helping their economy and giving the money to the Muslim Brotherhood and when Hyper Inflation kicks in, the money wont be worth anything and will be much easier for our children and grandchildren to pay off his profligate generosity among his Arab friends.</p>
<p>Hopefully, Weiner will be able to live off his wife&#8217;s double income, (assuming she has a handsome salary as a Fifth Columnist for the Muslim Brotherhood, a group now being subsidized by the US taxpayer courtesy of President Obama) until he can find a job and drift into obscurity.  Another Progressive Socialist will be elected from his district and the wheels will keep turning; hopefully, the new Progressive wheel from Queens will be quieter and have more integrity.  But we would be considered to be naive to think that the corruption and dishonesty is over with Weiner&#8217;s resignation.  </p>
<p>Like most American&#8217;s, I believe Weiner is only a symptom of a large problem afflicting politicians who view themselves above the law and immune to the laws of governance that most of us respect.  Congressmen like Rangel and Waters stand out as corruption that is excused and swept under the carpet.  We can no longer tolerate these abuses.  We must clean up Washinton and make it function according to the Rule of Law and the Constitution.  Insisting that Clinton as Secretary of State purge her department of potential spies is a first step toward establishing trust: if her relationship is too close to Huma to fire her, Hillary should resign her position.</p>

Socialist countries have never inspired international investment because of a record of dismal performances in the past.  Previously, despite weak and ineffectual leadership from some of our presidents and legislatures, the US has been considered the most dynamic economy in the world, since WW I.  

The Obamanation has intentionally destroyed that image.  It has been the intention of this administration to weaken the industrial base and economic vitality of the US so that we will no longer be considered an economic or military super power in the world.

Previously, despite weak and ineffectual leadership from some of our presidents and legislatures, the US has been considered the most dynamic economy in the world, since WW I.  </p>
<p>The Obamanation has intentionally destroyed that image.  It has been the intention of this administration to weaken the industrial base and economic vitality of the US so that we will no longer be considered an economic or military super power in the world.</p>

<p>Obama&#8217;s Four Year Plan has been extremely successful in accomplishing its plan for neutralizing the US economy and bringing the country to its knees.  He has succeeded in transferring a high percentage of America&#8217;s wealth to other countries, even to our enemies.  His blatant displays of profligacy, while displaying the work habits and ethics of a dilettante is meant to demoralize the public and emphasize a false sense of royalty or demigod status as a perception among the American people.  </p>
<p>If he can win reelection, the Second Four Year Plan will be implemented in full force with no mercy or quarter shown the American people.  This final stage will be devaluation of our currency, a prelude to runaway inflation.  It will be programmed and presented in such a way that it is the only solution for servicing our international debts.  Basically our dollar becomes worth less so that we find paying a $1,000 debt is much easier if a $100 bill is worth only $20.  Thus in reality, our $1,000 is now really only $100 because the dollar equivalency is 20% of its former value.  It seems so practical and simple, why haven&#8217;t we already devalued our currency. Actually the process has already started by printing excessive amounts of US dollars.  China has seen the situation and has already bailed.</p>
<p><a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/06/09/obamas-second-four-year-plan/refugees-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-61963"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/refugees1.jpg" alt="" width="398" height="420" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61963" /></a></p>
<p>There are inherent problems with this simple debt paying scheme.  The dollar only has the value assigned to it by international monetary markets, but a gallon of fuel, a can of beans, an ear of corn have real have real value and the can of beans will now cost six dollars instead of a $1.25 and a gallon of gasoline will cost $20.00 instead of $4.00.  This is low level inflation with a minor adjustment to facilitate the government trying to keep up with its debt load.  Everyone will lose weight and vehicles will only be used for emergencies, but Americans will adjust, we must remember this president promised us Hope and Change.  That is until the monetary markets begin to divest themselves of the American Dollar and only our coins have the value of their base metals.  In other words, the copper penny will become our most treasured coin, because everything else will become worthless.  This will be hyper inflation.  Obama will benignly ask for a devaluation of the currency to start the dance and the international money markets will be desperate to unload US currency and US debt. </p>
<p>America&#8217;s once great wealth will be quickly distributed among the industrial countries of the world and a few despicable characters like George Soros who hate the United States and its freedom.  </p>
<p>Is this the next step in Obama&#8217;s Progressive steps to dismantle the US: ask yourself this, could you have designed a more effective plan to weaken and destroy the US economy within four years and still have people willing to reelect you?<br />

<p>Let&#8217;s suppose there was someone who was so stupid, that he would borrow money from a neighborhood leg breaker and then give the money away to everyone in the neighborhood, including the leg breaker.  Would you recommend that person be institutionalized?  Welcome to Obama&#8217;s Theater Of The Absurd.</p>
<p>A surd in mathematics is that which cannot be expressed in quantifiable numbers or finite terms.  The concept of the surd, becomes an irrational philosophy rather than merely ridiculous; yet, it is more of a pervasive attitude, rather than a definable system of thought.  This is the basis upon which the Obama Theater Of the Absurd and The Obama Theory of Economics are constructed.</p>
<p>To better understand Obama&#8217;s apparent madness in dealing with the absurd, we must first study concepts that sane rational men rarely consider.</p>
<p>His economic theory denotes nihilism, an extreme radical philosophy or attitude that rejects all traditional and moral values by destroying all prevailing systems in a revolutionary force of action.  Dadaism evolved from the nihilism and came to mean anti-rules or total freedom from the restraint of traditions and rational thought.  Dadaism was eventually subsumed by surrealism, but its effects have been evident in art and literature up to this time.  No one expected to ever see its presence in American politics, especially in the highest office.</p>
<p>The surrealist attempts to express the workings of the unconscious mind and synthesize them with the conscious mind.  He wants to delve into an area that is liberated from logic and reason; thus in this state beyond realism, a new knowledge of enlightenment awaits to be discovered.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE="2">Obama is providing hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid to countries he is borrowing from, according a recent report by Congress&#8217;s research arm.</font></strong></p>
<p>Obama, in his best effort to redistribute our wealth to the rest of the world, is trying to bankrupt the country as fast as possible.  This is the<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/06/02/us-offers-foreign-aid-to-countries-holding-billions-in-treasury-securities/#ixzz1OHBwKvOe"> Obamanation</a> of surrealism that you may have thought was difficult to grasp, don&#8217;t worry any longer, you are living in that surreal world.  The first line is the amount of money that each country is receiving from the US in the form of welfare.</p>
<blockquote><p> China ($27.2 million), Brazil ($25 million), Russia ($71.5 million), India ($126.6 million), Mexico ($316.7 million) and Egypt ($255.7 million).</p>
<p>China is the largest holder of U.S. Treasury bonds with $1.1 trillion as of March, according to the Treasury Department. Brazil held $193.5 billion, Russia had $127.8 billion, India owned $39.8 billion, Mexico held $28.1 billion and Egypt had $15.3 billion.</p>
<p>The foreign aid to these countries is earmarked for a variety of causes, such as HIV/AIDs prevention, combating weapons of mass destruction, fighting tuberculosis, and counterterrorism efforts.</p></blockquote>
<p>Now you may see the links from Nihilism, to Dadaism, to Surrealism.</p>
<p>Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., requested <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/interactive/r/politics/2011/06/02/congressional-research-service-report-aid-to-securities-holders/">the report</a> and blew the whistle.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Borrowing money from countries who receive our aid is dangerous for both the donor and recipient, if countries can afford to buy our debt, perhaps they can afford to fund assistance programs on their own.</p></blockquote>
<p>Even a spark of elementary intelligence can be appreciated.</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;At the same time, when we borrow from countries we are supposedly helping to develop, we put off hard budget choices here at home.  The status quo creates co-dependency and financial risk at home and abroad.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Obama in a true test of Nihilism is insisting that we raise the debt ceiling after reaching our $14.3 trillion debt limit and increase taxes to avoid defaulting.  Moody&#8217;s in a purely political gesture is saying we will have our credit rating downgraded, a move that will only bankrupt us sooner. </p>
<p>It may just be me or perhaps all of you are lost and bewildered in the surreal world of the Obamanation or the Theater of The Absurd, but this is beyond absurdity.</p>
<p>The State Department is refusing to comment and who can blame them.  This is no longer acceptable, we are putting our great-grandchildren into insurmountable debt because we elected a Marxist fool who wants to redistribute America&#8217;s wealth around the world.  This must stop immediately.</p>

<p>Who is this Obama, who asks us to accept both his ethnocentric Narcissism and his anti-Semitic vision, a vision tempered by hatred  and honed with prejudice.  He stands invincible, a knight in silk suits; a legend in his own mind who knows no defeat or wrong decisions.</p>
<blockquote><p>
&#8220;There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness. And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again and become invisible in the sunny spaces. And even if he for ever flies within the gorge, that gorge is in the mountains; so that even in his lowest swoop the mountain eagle is still higher than other birds upon the plain, even though they soar.&#8221; </p></blockquote>
<p>- Moby Dick, Herman Melville</p>
<p>On an international stage, our President manipulates the truth with such audacity and imprecision, without challenge or ridicule, that even rational literate men can begin to question their own logic.  </p>
<p>While the world tries to decipher and separate the dubious metaphor with lofty expression from concrete policy reflecting reality from within Obama&#8217;s latest speech, a speech that was primarily meant to bolster sagging polls and his image as a sage and distinguished diplomat of the world, the damage from his message will inevitably cause more bloodshed and turmoil in the Middle East and compromise the position of the United States.</p>
<p>Obama was self-ingratiating as he described his accomplishments in facilitating the stage for Democratic reform in the Middle East.  Accomplishments that seem bizarre when viewed in light of recent history; especially, when anti-theocracy marchers were slaughtered, arrested, and tortured in Iran.  Obama&#8217;s commitment to Democracy was not to meddle in the affairs Islamic states that are committing atrocities against their own citizenry.  While Bashar Assad was killing his own people by the hundreds if not thousands with automatic rifles and machine guns, Obama hailed him as a reformer.  In Obama&#8217;s convoluted logic, Iraq has become an example of success due to his diplomacy; yet, within recent history, he called for the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq by 2008 and wrote off the Surge and the war itself as dismal failures.  Unfortunately, history and the truth follow relentlessly and closely on the coattails of a prevaricator; especially, one who wallows in hypocrisy to avail himself of fleeting glory from actions he had previously condemned.</p>
<p>Middle East authoritarian governments blame the US and Israel for their problems and failures as contributing nations of the modern world. Sponsoring terror has become a convenient conduit for striking back at their straw men or scapegoats to show progress on the sources of Middle East problems and to appease the semi-literate mind, thus the tribal barbarian vents his rage over celebrations of senseless bloodshed and misery, that defines the method of the terrorist, rather than looking at the root causes of their malfunctioning societies: tribalism, religious intolerance and fundamentalism, statism, totalitarian government, the virtual slavery of women, and perpetuating ideas and hatreds from the Dark Ages.  Obama excuses these problems and refuses to even mention the word Islam in his speech; instead, he gallantly carried the Middle Eastern banners of hatred and blame toward the US and Israel.</p>
<p>Is it a coincidence, other than the rather bizarre attack on Libya, a former enemy that had been neutralized as a terror threat, but steadfastly refused to tolerate the radical Islamic fundamentalists, that the only dictatorships Obama has turned on, have been allies of the US and could be considered marginal Islamic theocracies that were semi-tolerant of other religions.  He neglected to explain why Qadaffi received our wrath for threatening his people, but a homicidal maniac like Assad, who actually kills thousands of unarmed marchers is without blame.</p>
<p>Our most notable Arab ally in the ME, Saudi Arabia, was ignored except for an indirect plea to pump more oil; presumably, to help with the pump price at home; although, he promised skyrocketing energy prices in his initial election campaign, the reality of the situation is that he wanted to raise the price with restrictive taxes not higher crude prices.  Thus he faces the negativity of skyrocketing energy prices with no confiscatory tax gain for a federal government that is anxiously awaiting to expand and encompass an ever growing share of the economy.  </p>
<p>Again we are faced with the illogical logic of Obama: the ME can relieve oil prices by pumping more oil and Brazil can relieve the cost of energy by drilling in the Atlantic, so it is necessary to give them billions so that they can sell us oil, but it is foolish to think that Americans drilling in America and off our coasts can affect the cost of oil or decrease our dependence on foreign oil.</p>
<p>Now, President Obama is proposing that the US give billions to ME governments and indirectly to Hamas for some obscure reasons that we as Americans are compelled to accept, for we often equate lunacy as sound foreign policy and we ignore the obvious fact that these oil rich nations who relish greed as a way of life, could much more easily afford to promote terrorism against the US than expecting the US to pay for the terror that will be unleashed against the US and Israel.  The president assumes by enriching Hamas, an organization that is about to become part of the Palestinian government and is unashamedly sworn to the annihilation of Israel, will see the error of their ways and come to love Obama and decide not to cut the throat of every Jew in the world.</p>
<p>The president assumes that by instructing Israel to reform the pre &#8217;67 borders, Palestinians will lose their hatred of Israel and the Jew: the problem is not the boundaries or the humiliating defeat of the Arab world in the Six Day War, it is the failure of the Palestinian people to establish a workable constitutional government in the modern sense of a governing body in the modern world of nations.  While the Palestinians and Jew haters salivate at the thought of pre &#8217;67 borders, we who have normal cerebral function, trust it is hardly a prelude to peace and love for the Jew; not at all, it is merely seen as a way to stage an attack, to weaken Israel and to deliver the killing blow to the Jew.  Do any of us in our wildest imaginations believe president Obama would stop the second Holocaust?  Hell no, he would dither and wait to see how it played out, while his beloved Muslim Brotherhood governments and Palestinians obliterate the Jewish people.  And are our American Progressive Socialists naive or stupid enough to think after the destruction of Israel, the homicidal maniacs would rest content and stop their blood lust?  If they are that stupid they deserve the knife of the Islamic Fundamentalist, but the rest of us don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>The president is free with US dollars to Muslim nations who hate America, but ignores the disasters like unemployment, flooding, exorbitant energy prices, and fires at home; again, we are expected to accept the illogic logic of Obama by some convoluted process that is hard even for his state directed media to justify.  Perhaps Obama should remember the old paradox, &#8220;you can&#8217;t buy friends or the friends that you buy, you don&#8217;t want&#8221;.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, this paradox of friends and money  defines the thugocracy that is the precept of Obama philosophy: you buy loyalty and you buy friends, and the best way to accomplish it, is with other people&#8217;s money.  </p>
<p>The president promoted the concept of Democracy in the ME and without exception, he will be promoted as an outstanding orator and statesman by the state directed media and the emptiness and naiveté of his blathering will be hailed with awe and wonder; only to be forgotten after the absurdity and irrelevance of Obama&#8217;s illogical logic is used for as much advantage and leverage as possible by his propaganda bureau. </p>
<p>Rather than believing his own press like the proverbial empty headed fool, Obama would be well served to read the old Polish proverb: &#8220;Watch the faces of those who bow the lowest.&#8221;  The homicidal maniac of the ME is cunning and recognizes weakness; he will faun over Obama until it is time to strike.</p>
<p>The epitasis (denouement or climax, just before catastrophe in Greek theatre) is building in the ME.  We may regard Obama&#8217;s speech as a faux Ciceronian effort to be pitied for it&#8217;s circumlocution and naive pandering, but for the semi-literate mind, caught up in the Middle Ages, it indicates weakness and capitulation that serves to embolden and strengthen their resolve.  Thus the speech isn&#8217;t inconsequential in the sense of anemic posturing; no not at all, it is seen as a great morale builder for the disaffected of the Muslim World, a confirmation of their hatred and prejudices.  Thus Obama perhaps gains a self-serving, but false standing in the ME, literally at the expense of the American taxpayer and by compromising the Jewish state and eventually America itself.<br />

<p><strong><font SIZE=2><center>The Exodus Of Africa To Europe</center></font></strong></p>
<p>Conditions in Africa are intolerable; disease, famine, war, corruption, genocide, and crime have all contributed to make Africa a Hell hole, but now, Africans, particularly Libyans, have devised a scheme to deal with their despair.  They have started an exodus of biblical proportions from Africa to Europe.  </p>
<p>There are a few problems with the plan, however; Europe&#8217;s economies are not healthy enough to absorb a large influx of unskilled and predominately illiterate masses.  The Europeans are also not sure they want to allow their cultures to be diluted and possibly absorbed by the cultures of Africa.</p>
<p>This is an interesting situation; historically, Europeans have been pointing their collective fingers at America because of its racial problems and poverty that has racial demographics.</p>
<p>No one can blame an African for wanting to take his family to a better place with chances for a better life or maybe even just to survive another season, but at what cost to the host country.  At this time Libyans are desperately seeking asylum from Gadahfi&#8217;s murderous henchmen, who will be torturing and killing all those who demonstrated or fought against the present regime and some they don&#8217;t like.  They will surely try to eradicate the Muslim Brotherhood in the process.  Thus the Muslim Exodus from Libya is underway.</p>
<p>The question comes to mind: why don&#8217;t these Muslims seek asylum in other <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-03-16/-biblical-exodus-from-africa-feeds-anti-immigrant-rhetoric.html">Muslim</a> countries? The answer is multi-dimensional, but the main reason is, there is only poverty and despair for them in those other Muslim countries: in Europe, there is some semblance of hope for the future.  We should also realize the other Arab countries in the Middle East don&#8217;t want them.  Poverty and unemployment is well represented in these countries, they don&#8217;t need more, especially malcontents who have the temerity to foment revolt in their home country.  Their only alternative, head to Europe, Europeans have worn the tired cliches of Socialist compassion on their sleeves for decades; although, they are realizing the hands that have reached out to the forlorn Muslim is bitten for its effort and is often unappreciative of acts of compassion.  The Muslim has little or no interest in joining the European cultures of their host countries.<a href="http://floppingaces.net/2011/03/18/africas-plan-for-the-redistribution-of-poverty-and-despair/2066001554_2bc75c9089/" rel="attachment wp-att-55753"><img src="http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/2066001554_2bc75c9089-300x290.jpg" alt="" title="2066001554_2bc75c9089" width="300" height="290" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-55753" /></a></p>
<p>European nations are beginning to rethink this: </p>
<blockquote><p> As boats carrying hundreds of Africans set sail for a better life in Europe, they were met on Italy’s Lampedusa island with two words by a 5-foot, 8-inch blonde: go away.</p>
<p>“They cannot be allowed on the shore,” Marine Le Pen, the 42-year-old leader of France’s anti-immigration National Front, said in a March 15 interview in Rome after a three-hour visit the previous day to Lampedusa. “Send boats out to feed them. But they must not set foot on land.”</p>
<p>The island, a speck in the Mediterranean Sea closer to Tunisia than Sicily, is experiencing first-hand an immigration surge poised to spread to the rest of Europe and drive a deeper wedge in a north-south divide already tested by the sovereign- debt crisis.</p>
<p>“It’s evident that Italy has been abandoned by Europe,” Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said in Brussels on March 10 after a meeting with his European Union counterparts. “We can’t be the policeman of Europe.”</p>
<p>The month-long civil war in Libya between Muammar Qaddafi’s regime and rebel forces in the oil-rich east has left 6,000 people dead, driven crude prices to a 2 1/2-year high and unleashed what Italian Interior Minister Roberto Maroni, the country’s most popular politician, called a “biblical exodus.”</p>
<p>North of Rome, a backlash has already begun as Italy warns its neighbors that 70 percent of Africans washing up on its shores are headed to France and Germany to seek work.</p>

<p>Chantal Brunel, a lawyer for France&#8217;s President Sarkozy&#8217;s, Union for a Popular Movement, proposed a solution &#8220;put them back on their boats&#8221;.  She has since apologized for these remarks, but her comments reflect the overall feelings of governments to keep these refugees away from their country&#8217;s borders.</p>
<p>Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor was candid in her assessment: &#8220;We are ready to help in economic terms, but I don&#8217;t see the future in having us expand legal immigration&#8221;. (March 15)</p>
<p>There have been more than 9,000 hopeful Tunisian immigrants descend on Lampedusa, an island of 6,000 inhabitants 70 miles from Tunisia, twice the number for 2010, according to the Italian Interior Ministry.</p>
<p>This last December, Gadhafi told European leaders that they should prepare to &#8220;become Black because millions want to come to Europe&#8221;. </p>
<p>In a reparation deal with Italy wort $5 billion, Gadhafi agreed to tighten border controls in 2008.  The number of Libyans landing illegally dropped from 37,000 in 2008 to just 3,000 in 2010.  Malta&#8217;s influx of illegal aliens dropped from 2,775 in 2008 to 47 in 2010.</p>
<p>Europeans have seen that it is cheaper to pay the bribe than add increasing numbers to their social welfare costs.</p>
<p>From the middle of February, nearly 225,000 have left Libya; 115,000 to Tunisia, 102,000 to Egypt, 2,000 to Niger, and 5500 to Algeria according to the United Nations Commission for Refugees, (March 10)</p>
<p>Malta, 220 miles from Tripoli is an entry point for European Socialism and a life of splendor on welfare, but these refugees are kept in detention centers for as long as 18 months.  Over half of Malta&#8217;s 2.5 million-euro military budget is required to feed and house these African refugees.</p>
<p>Since the unrest began in Libya on February 15, Malta has received 26,000 Africans and repatriated them back to their countries of origin.</p>
<p>For the Europeans the future may be grim with the almost unstoppable mass human migrations originating from Africa and the Middle East due in large part to the poverty and authoritarian governments throughout the areas.  Their cultures may indeed be engulfed as war and poverty intensifies and becomes even more endemic to these regions.  Thus Europe should brace itself for the savagery and barbarism of the Third World to assert itself within its borders; just as we have allowed ourselves to become immune and accepting of a tolerable amount of crime and violence from our own illegal alien population.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.america.gov/st/texttrans-english/2009/February/20090213121916xjsnommis0.4800793.html">President Obama </a>is surely contemplating importing some of Africa&#8217;s misery before the 2012 elections; especially, now that americans of becoming ever more skeptical of our president and his abilities to lead.  Absorbing a few million new voters into key states could be seen as a great humanitarian gesture and a keen political move.</p>
<p>If we adopt a similar program for African refugees as we have in place for illegal aliens from Mexico, we can forever change the politics of America and Democrats will be in power until the country collapses, in the not so distant future.<br />

<p><strong><font SIZE=2>Who Among Us, So Hates The Jew</font></strong></p>
<p>Now that our president is openly selling out Israel, it is time for us to ask ourselves this basic question: Do I support Israel&#8217;s right to exist and am I willing to sit idle, like our leadership, when Radical Islam rises up to cleanse the world of the Jewish people.  It is time to be honest with the Jews of the world, Israel, America, and yourself: do you hate the Jew? </p>
<p>I am also asking the Liberal Socialist Jews among us and the Liberal Socialist Jews of Israel: are you content to see the Jewish race annihilated to further the goals of Radical Islam and International Socialism?  To the Liberal Jew, do you really believe that  Radical Islam will end their bloodletting once the Conservative Jews are cleansed from the world? Do you think these homicidal maniacs will say, We love the Liberal Jew as much as we hated the Conservative Jew and we will not kill them.</p>
<p>There is an old proverb in the Middle East:</p>
<blockquote><p>The enemy of my enemy is my friend.</p></blockquote>
<p>The proverb doesn&#8217;t describe what happens after hostilities are over, does the Radical Muslim have compassion for the self-loathing Socialist Jew and will they be allowed to live or will they be put to the sword?  Although Radical Islam is closely allied with the International Socialist and nebulously with our leader, not one of the clerics preaching of a new holocaust for Jews has mentioned compassion for the Liberal Jew; although, they have made it perfectly clear that they intend to kill &#8220;all&#8221; Jews and Christians.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>The Muslim <a href="http://en.rian.ru/world/20110203/162433368.html">Brotherhood</a> Begins To Reveal Itself</font></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Egypt&#8217;s banned Muslim Brotherhood movement has unveiled its plans to scrap a peace treaty with Israel if it comes to power, a deputy leader said in an interview with NHK TV.</p>
<p>Rashad al-Bayoumi said the peace treaty with Israel will be abolished after a provisional government is formed by the movement and other Egypt&#8217;s opposition parties.</p>
<p>&#8220;After President Mubarak steps down and a provisional government is formed, there is a need to dissolve the peace treaty with Israel,&#8221; al-Bayoumi said.</p></blockquote>
<p>The Islamic Radicals of the Muslim Brotherhood Speak To Express Their Ideology</p>
<p>Sheikh Yusuf <a href="http://www.adl.org/main_Terrorism/qaradawi_gaza_threats.htm">al-Qaradawi</a>, a respected cleric of the Muslim Brotherhood, from Qatar, has called out his hatred for Jews and asks Allah to &#8220;kill them, down to the very last one.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>
 February 2, 2009</p>
<p>Qaradawi gave a sermon which aired on the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera TV on January 28, 2009, in which he expressed his desire to “go to the land of Jihad and resistance.”  He tells his audience, “I will shoot Allah’s enemies, the Jews, and they will throw a bomb at me, and thus I will seal my life with martyrdom.”  Two days later, Qaradawi gave another speech that also aired on Al-Jazeera, where he claimed that Adolf Hitler was sent by Allah to punish the Jews.</p>
<p>In another sermon on January 9, 2009, Qaradawi incited violence against the Jews. &#8220;Oh Allah,&#8221; Qaradawi said, &#8220;Take this oppressive, Jewish, Zionist band of people…do not spare a single one of them. Oh Allah, count their numbers, and kill them, down to the very last one.&#8221; Qaradawi also called on Muslims to boycott Starbucks and other stores that he said support Israel. </p>
<p>In early January, Qaradawi led a delegation of Muslim scholars to visit Arab leaders in the region in an effort to &#8220;discuss the ways to cope with a war of genocide against the people in the Gaza strip,&#8221; according to his Web site.  The delegation met with King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, King Abdullah II of Jordan and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, among others.</p>
<p>The delegation reportedly also met with leaders of Palestinian terrorist organizations in Damascus, including Khaled Meshaal and Musa Abu Marzuq from Hamas, Ahmed Jibril from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and Ramadan Abdullah Shallah from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). </p>
<p>During the meetings, Qaradawi pleaded for a more active role in supporting the Palestinians in Gaza, including the severing of all diplomatic ties with Israel.  He reportedly said, &#8220;We will ask for emergency summits of the Arab League and Muslim countries so that they can have a united stance on the Zionist aggression.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>Qaradawi has also expressed his hatred of the Great Satan (United States).  He blames the economic problems on the Capitalist system and usury.  He explains how to correct the problem, &#8220;The Islamic nation has all or nearly all the oil; profit from the crisis to bring about the triumph of the (Islamic) nation, which holds the spiritual and material resources for victory.&#8221;</p>
<p>Qaradawi is obviously pleased that Obama is making the United States even more dependent on Middle East oil </p>
<p>A radical Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Qaradawi has a worldwide following that has been facilitated by networking an array of Muslim Brotherhood associations and by gaining access to several key media outlets.  His speeches, teachings, and writings give support to terrorist groups and groups that seek to undermine a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and to groups that oppose reform and democracy in the Middle East. </p>
<p>He is an outspoken supporter of suicide bombing by Palestinians.  According to the Middle East Media Research Institute,  Qaradawi spoke at a conference held for him titled &#8220;Imam al-Qaraawi: A Forum For Students And Friends&#8221;.  &#8220;I support the Palestinian cause.  I support the resistance and the jihad,&#8230; I support Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and Hezbollah.  I oppose the peace that Israel and America wish to dictate.  This peace is an illusion.  I support martyrdom operations.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/news/271415,muslim-brotherhood-in-audience-for-obama-cairo-speech--feature.html"><strong><font SIZE=2>Obama Recognizes The Brotherhood At Cairo</font></strong><br />
</a></p>
<p>Obama reached out to the Muslim Brotherhood before his Cairo speech, June 2, 2009, by insisting that at least ten members of the outlawed group be asked to attend; although, they are outlawed, 88 members of parliament are Muslim Brothers, but they sit as independents.  By demanding that the group attend as members of the Muslim Brotherhood Obama gave the group tremendous clout in Egypt and the Middle East.  In his speech, Obama didn&#8217;t stress human rights reform in Egypt, but only to apologize for America&#8217;s treatment of the Muslim world and for our support of Israel; thus he gave a nod of legitimacy to the Brotherhood and their platform of anti-Zionism, anti-Americanism, and anti-Israel policies and preaching. </p>
<p>In his efforts to identify himself as a sympathizer to Muslim interests, Obama set the stage for abandoning America&#8217;s allies to promote the Obama image, thus compromising the image of America, by displaying the willingness to capitulate rather than stand strong among our traditional allies.  Again, he did this not to ask for human rights reform, but to reach out to a group with a history of terrorism.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>Do We believe the Pew Poll</font></strong></p>
<p>For days now, the mainstream and leftstream media have been telling us that the Muslim Brotherhood is not dangerous, not radically Islamist—but that even if they are Islamist, they are popular amongst the people. Western leftists view the Brothers as engaged in a Hamas-like form of soup kitchen social work/theocratic totalitarianism, but who nevertheless have earned the right to be democratically voted into power by the people. They have been invited to join the negotiations with Mubarak&#8217;s regime.</p>
<p>The propaganda bureaus have been promoting the Muslim Brotherhood as the viable option for democracy in Egypt and that indicates that Obama will support the Brotherhood.  We can use the media just as they try to use us if we stay ahead of the propaganda. Despite the obvious logic that the Brotherhood will be a more oppressive tyranny than the totalitarian government of Mubarack: Obama for some reason is promoting them as the logical choice.</p>
<p>According to a June, 2010 <a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142158">Pew opinion survey of Egyptians</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Fifty nine percent said they back Islamists. Only 27% said they back modernizers. Half of Egyptians support Hamas. Thirty percent support Hizbullah and 20% support al Qaida. Moreover, 95% of them would welcome Islamic influence over their politics….Eighty two percent of Egyptians support executing adulterers by stoning, 77% support whipping and cutting the hands off thieves. 84% support executing any Muslim who changes his religion…When this preference is translated into actual government policy, it is clear that the Islam they support is the al Qaida Salafist version.</p>
<p>When given the opportunity, the crowds on the street are not shy about showing what motivates them. They attack Mubarak and his new Vice President Omar Suleiman as American puppets and Zionist agents. The US, protesters told CNN’s Nick Robertson, is controlled by Israel. They hate and want to destroy Israel. That is why they hate Mubarak and Suleiman.</p></blockquote>
<p><center><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Zjxm3OSy4EE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></center></p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>We can ask why the Jew hater hates the Jew.</font></strong>  </p>
<p>Hatred is not a virtue, hatred is usually reserved for those who have done grievous harm to others: in war, it is not unusual to hate the enemy after attrition has claimed the lives of beloved friends or after atrocities have been committed.  Hatred of opposing sports teams, schools other than your own, and opposing political factions or those who disagree with you are irrational and a trait of a weak mind.</p>
<p>I feel compelled to ask the Jew hating bigot, just what is it that the Jew has done to you to make you hate him?  In America, I often get the reply that the Jews killed Jesus.  In a twisted form of logic, this dubious claim justifies hate and a willingness to see the Muslim Radicals commit genocide and destroy our ally.  To the Jew hater, I must ask if their lives are so empty that they must fill them with hatred based on stupidity and to the Muslim Jew hater I say the same thing.</p>
<p>Once a weak human mind is mired in misery, and especially if it is a result of his own efforts, he must find a scapegoat to blame for their pathetic condition.  The Jew is a popular punching bag, you can join a huge group and feel security in numbers by electing to hate the Jew.  While the pathetic victims commiserate on transgressions that never happened, they feel each other&#8217;s pain and find solace in the fact that they are not alone in their hatred and stupidity.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>Where Is Your Brother?</font></strong></p>
<p>God asked Cain, &#8220;Where is your brother?&#8221;  Within this question is a key to the pogroms by Christians; murderers and those who commit genocide assume that G-d doesn&#8217;t see their atrocities; yet G-d yelled out to Cain &#8220;your brother&#8217;s blood cries out from the earth.&#8221;  Whether G-d saw Cain kill Abel or surmised the murder, is the part that we are left to decipher.  To the Liberal Jew, G-d&#8217;s message will be that you have the blood of your brothers on your hands as you now forsake your brethern to embrace the Socialists who ally with the Radical Muslim.  The self-loathing Jew must be a curious phenomenon to the Radical Islamist, but remember the enemy of his enemy is his friend, at least temporarily.  </p>
<p>The National Socialists committed their genocide under a cover secrecy: Radical Islam is at least honest in their intentions; they readily admit that they intend to kill all Jews and Christians.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>The Muslim Brotherhood has been in Egypt since the 1928; although, it was banned by Mubarak.</font></strong></p>
<p>The US has had limited contact with the Brotherhood because of the ban according to Jon <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/02/03/133455504/post-mubarak-muslim-brotherhood-could-play-role">Alterman</a>, who directs the Middle East program with the <a href="http://csis.org/">Center for Strategic and International Studies.<br />
</a><br />
Alterman was one of a group summoned by the White House to discuss the political situation in Egypt.  Alterman says that he was struck by the regime&#8217;s stand on the Brotherhood.</p>
<p>In a sense, Alterman is justifying the Obama&#8217;s role in the ouster of a staunch ally that has maintained peace with Israel, for the imposition of a Radical Islamist regime that has stated that they want to tear up the treaty with Israel and kill every Jew on the face of the earth, before they start in on the Christians. </p>
<blockquote>
<p>&#8220;The White House isn&#8217;t overly concerned with the Brotherhood being part of a more open and participatory politics in Egypt,&#8221; Alterman says. &#8220;There&#8217;s not a deep fear that if there&#8217;s any Brotherhood participation that that spells the end of U.S. interests in Egypt. In fact, there is a sense that U.S. interests in Egypt dictate that Islamists should be participating in more vibrant politics along with everybody else.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alterman says the Obama administration understands that a lot of people in Egypt think religion should have some role in public life, whether they belong to the Muslim Brotherhood or not — and that the U.S. shouldn&#8217;t turn its back on the group just because it&#8217;s Islamist.</p>
<p>&#8220;The White House has a general sense that Egyptian politics need to somehow reflect Egyptian society,&#8221; Alterman says. &#8220;Insisting on authoritarian secularist regimes doesn&#8217;t meet U.S. interests in the long term, nor does it meet Egypt&#8217;s interests.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>Our President is worried that Egyptian politics must reflect Egyptian society?  </p>
<p>A Radical Muslim theocracy will be better at meeting U.S. interests and Egypt&#8217;s interests?</p>
<p>This is the main concern of our foreign policy?</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>There Are Still More Who Volunteer For Obama</font></strong></p>
<p>Samer Shehata, an &#8220;assistant professor of Arab politics&#8221; at Georgetown University, feels that many people are seeing parallels to Iran and the Carter regime.  Shehata admits that Hamas was formed from the Muslim Brotherhood, but claims that the brotherhood has no military or weapons and renounced violence 60 years ago.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;There are many people in Congress, and in the general public, of course, that when they hear Islamist politics or the Muslim Brotherhood and so on, there&#8217;s no understanding. They immediately think of al-Qaida or Hamas or Hezbollah even. And this is a fundamentally different type of organization.&#8221;
</p></blockquote>
<p>It is not a huge stretch of imagination to see that an outlawed group does not have weapons, but once in power and with 1.2 billion in arms coming from the U.S., that will change fairly quickly.</p>
<p><strong><font SIZE=2>Why I Stand With The Jew</font></strong></p>
<p>As a man who was raised as a Christian Pacifist, it might be considered odd that I am willing to stand with the Jew.  First, let me say that I have no respect for the Liberal Jew and his cowardice.  If Radical Islam is successful in their subjugation of the world, the Liberal Jew has earned his just reward of an ignoble death at the hands of the Radical Muslim, but once Israel falls and Obama along with his Socialist groups enjoy the destruction and bloodletting that follows, it is only a matter of time before we, the Great Satan is attacked.  </p>
<p>The Jew has managed to hold his own in one of the most inhospitable neighborhoods in the world.  He fights with a vengeance and has manged to keep his barbaric and ill-mannered neighbors respectful since 1947.  I admire this willingness to fight and die for this little piece of land that is called the Jewish Homeland.  They also represent the only Democracy in the whole Middle East, a fact that is wasted on the Obama Socialists in their quest for Social Justice and alliances with the homicidal maniacs of Radical Islam.  The Jews of Israel are not concerned with converting anyone to their religion or cutting off some one&#8217;s head if they reject the Jewish religion; I find that to be an admirable trait.  Unlike the cowardly Socialists and the despicable Liberal Jew who is anxious to capitulate to Radical Islam and sell out Israel: the real Jew of Israel may go down, but he will go down swinging.  If America is content to let Obama sell out our allies like Britain and Israel so that he can play touchy feelie with the homicidal maniacs of Radical Islam, I will prefer to make my stand with the Jew of Israel.  </p>
<p>We must stop this desertion of our traditional allies or be prepared to let the Obama Socialists hand over Israel and our country to those who wish to destroy us.  Like Israel, we have a group of self-loathing people who want to destroy our home country to fulfill some kind of perverted vision of International Socialism.</p>
<p>If our new vision for America&#8217;s future, is to be the cowardly capitulation of Neville Chamberlain for a few months of peace, the real patriots of America may as well sign on to join the fight in Israel; I think it will be a good fight.</p>

But we should feel confident that the President&#8217;s closest advisers are more than capable to handle any emergency while the Chief struggles with indecision.  Here we have some of the <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/north-korea-crisis-obamas-crisis-team-isnt-exactly-the-dream-team/">president&#8217;s own.</a></p>
<blockquote><p>National Security Adviser Tom Donilon: He just rose to his current post in October, replacing Jim Jones.  Prior to his tenure in the Obama administration, Donilon was chiefly … a Democratic operative.  And a lobbyist for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for six years.  Aren’t you glad a Fan-Fred lobbyist is advising POTUS on dealing with the wildly unpredictable, violent, and dangerous Kim family in North Korea?</p>
<p>Vice President Biden’s National Security Adviser Tony Blinken: Blinken’s national security resume is arguably a little stronger than Donilon’s, having worked around the national security apparatus a bit more than Donilon has.  On the other hand, VP Biden calls Blinken “one of the smartest guys I’ve ever worked with,” (coming from the man who opposed the surge and wanted to divide Iraq into three separate states and leave them for Iran’s pickings, that’s quite a statement!) and he has the unabashed endorsement of violent-fantasy prone rabid left-wing blogger Spencer Ackerman, who calls Blinken an “energetic progressive.”  Seriously.</p>
<p>Senior White House Coordinator for Weapons of Mass Destruction, Counterterrorism and Arms Control Gary Samore: Among the chief architects of the controversial START treaty, which, according to its opponents like the Heritage Foundation, is tipped to heavily favor the Russians against U.S. interests.  Samore also does a good job of misunderstanding the roots of strife in the Middle East.  Hint: Arab states attacked tiny and barely armed Israel repeatedly before “arms control” was even a glimmer in Nixon’s eye.</p>
<p>US Ambassador to the United Nations Dr. Susan Rice: Where to start?  How about Rwanda.  Rice was in the Clinton administration’s State Department when that genocide occurred.  She reportedly learned a lesson from that, which was that the U.S. should have intervened.  But for some reason that same lesson didn’t apply to Iraq, where the U.S. had actual security interests at stake and from which Saddam Hussein threatened the region and the world.  She appears to be one of a long line of “progressives” who advocate for U.S. involvement in international crises in inverse proportion to our national security interests that might be at stake (such thinking elevates Darfur above, say, Iraq).  She was John Kerry’s senior foreign policy adviser during his 2004 run for the presidency.</p>
<p>Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: She boasts an undeserved reputation for international competence; her tenure at State got off to a rocky start with the Russian “reset” faux pas (which was an attempt to placate KGB man Vlad Putin &#038; Co by taking a cheap shot at former President Bush while she was on foreign soil) and has only gotten smoother in direct proportion to her silence. That’s because like her boss, when she does speak, she tends to go around making apologies for the very nation whose interests she is supposed to represent.</p></blockquote>
<p>We have nothing to fear, President Obama is confident that he can charm and win over our antagonists with campaign speeches and apologies for America&#8217;s  transgressions in the past.  He just needs to recapture the mesmerizing charm and momentum of the 08 election.</p>
<p>If all else fails, we have our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who not only had Saul Alynsky as a mentor, but was married to a president.    </p>
<p>There are three basic ways we can look at this latest incident, we can ignore it and hope it goes away, we can have confidence in our administration, or we can be fearful.  It is hard to have confidence in the man shown in the above video.  Our best option is to hope we survive the next two years and destroy the Democrat party in the next election, excluding California of course.  </p>
<p>America&#8217;s presence in the world is being diminished by the president&#8217;s flaccid and impotent responses to provocation.   Aggressors are emboldened when hostile overtures are met with an outstretched hand and ingenuous threats of sanctions.  The US was once a great nation; however, such notions are forgotten by enemies and allies, when our leader&#8217;s implied mantra is, &#8216;we capitulate so that we may exist in peace&#8217;.  </p>
