Violence Erupts As Greece Faces Reality

Greece

Now that Greek politicians are finally starting to wake up to the reality of the country’s fiscal situation violence has erupted. You know, because why should anyone have to wait until their 50’s to retire?

Videos from the scene show large numbers of protesters, with small groups throwing what appear to be molotov cocktails and rocks at massed police.

Police have responded by firing tear gas at the protesters, who are part of a larger anti-austerity gathering.

And that was before the austerity package passed.

I can’t say I blame the young Greeks for being angry, considering they’re the ones who will pay the price for all of the bad decisions that came before. Well, they’ll pay the price and so will the ones bailing them out again. But rioting only makes matters worse. When will people learn?

Baltimore “Anti-Violence” Group Caught With Illegally-Acquired Guns, Drugs

The “Safe Streets” anti-violence program apparently had a novel approach to stopping the proliferation of illegal guns and drugs in East Baltimore, but the police seem to be frowning on their idea of seeing how much of each they could stockpile:

City officials have suspended operations of the Safe Streets anti-violence program in East Baltimore after police officers found seven guns and drugs stashed inside the Monument Street office.

Police said a robbery investigation led them to the office, and two employees were among those arrested. The suspension sidelines the program’s work in East Baltimore at a time when gun violence has been spiking.

Safe Streets, a grant-funded program under the city’s Health Department, uses ex-felons in an effort to stem crime. The program has been lauded for keeping violence at a minimum in the four neighborhoods where it operates, and some officials have urged its replication across the city.

The program has had trouble in the past, with offices previously suspended in 2010 and 2013 amid criminal allegations against employees. It has also faced criticism over its recruiting practices.

I dunno. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s a bad idea to have people who “formerly” sold drugs and and shot people committing crimes counseling others who are involved in the same sort of criminal behavior. That’s kind of like trusting a pharmacist nicknamed “Shakes,” isn’t it?

The reporters covering the story, Kevin Rector and Justin Fenton, seems to think that suspension of the “Safe Streets”program is going to make crime worse.

The thought that program was adding to gang violence doesn’t seem to have crossed their minds.

Death To America, Death To Israel — Relax They Don’t Mean It……….from Daniel Thomas

Exactly why Iranians were dancing in the streets of Tehran after the announcement of a nuclear deal is open to speculation. Some pundits claim it was to celebrate the lifting of sanctions, others the gifting of Iran with nuclear weapons thus giving them capability parity with Israel now that Obama has dumped them as an ally.

The official spin from the White House is that Obama’s diplomacy has succeeded in curtailing Iran’s nuclear ambitions preventing their acquisition of nuclear weapons and ending the possibility of a nuclear arms race in the middle east. In exchange international sanctions will be lifted and relations between Iran and the rest of world normalised.

As the politicians and diplomats pat themselves on the back and congratulate themselves for achieving the declared legacy of President Obama, the reality behind this appeasement and the reasons behind it are not too difficult to fathom.

The reality is that although sanctions have restricted Iran’s ability to cause death and mayhem it remains the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the region and the wider world. Terrorist organisations such as Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS, al Qaeda, al Shabaab and the Taliban have become household names because of their bloodletting and they have all benefited from Iranian money and logistical support.

There has been no requirement in this deal to curtail their global support for Islamic terrorism — not that they would honour them if there were any — therefore an additional one hundred billion dollars into their war chest can only mean more mayhem and death across the world in the name of Allah the Merciful.

The reason for this is simple, The Islamic Republic of Iran is a revolutionary theocracy run by Islamic fanatics where Israel and the Jewish people, America and the American people are the focus of their visceral hatred.

Their stated desire to wipe Israel off the map and every Jew from the face of earth is not an idle threat, they actually mean it.Their stated desire to kill Americans — which is not restricted to those in the military but civilians as well — is also not an idle threat.

If their fanaticism is in any doubt, it is worth remembering that their last leader, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad articulated his version of the national beliefs. Iranians are waiting for the return of the Hidden Imam or Mahdi, who will set up and rule over the Caliphate. In the meantime, until he returns, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is ruling in his absence.

Apparently there is documentary proof that his return is being hindered by the USA in order to prevent him ruling the world. The destruction of America therefore will hasten the Mahdi’s homecoming and the setting up of the promised Caliphate.

No one really knows how many ordinary Iranians buy into this nonsense, suffice to say that the ruling theocracy does and they have widespread support.

With beliefs like this, combined with their record of lying and breaking treaties, and in addition to supporting Islamic terrorism around the world, who in their right mind would facilitate their acquisition of nuclear weapons?

Not Israel that’s for sure. These are the experts, they live cheek by jowl with these fanatical killers. Every single day of their lives is lived under the threat of Iranian sponsored terrorism.

The Israelis have warned the world over again that if ever these maniacs succeed in wiping Israel and every Jew off the face of the earth they will not stop there. They will continue the killing and mayhem until the commands of Mohammad as laid down in the Koran are fulfilled.

The world must submit to Islam and live by shariah law. All infidels and khafirs must convert or pay an infidel tax and become slaves of Islam. Failing that they must all be beheaded.

This perverted ideology is being preached in mosques and madrassas not only in Muslim countries but with impunity across the civilised world. Hate preachers such as Great Britain’s notorious Anjem Choudary preach this hatred on the streets of Great Britain without fear of arrest; he has even been given air time in the USA.

In addition to the history of Iran’s hatred of America and Israel, the chanting of Death to America and Death to Israel by huge crowds during the nuclear weapons negotiations should have given the administration a clue that the Iranians will not stick to any deal.

Their hatred of both America and Israel, stoked up by religious fanaticism, and combined with the belief that they are within touching distance of acquiring the means of fulfilling their scripture, prevents them from negotiating in good faith.

So why is the Obama administration falling for this?

If anyone is in any doubt that President Obama is a hard line socialist/progressive ideologue then they have not been paying attention for the last seven years; every word and deed of his confirms this. He has surrounded himself with like minded ideologues and useful idiots.

The tenets of socialist/progressive ideology demand that all adherents must hate capitalism, America and Israel; Obama along with his administration and supporters have made it plain during his presidency that they comply with all three.

They believe that capitalism, America and Israel are forces of evil in the world and the prime cause of all its problems. This is further complicated by Obama’s statements in support of Islam and his war against Christianity at home.

Obama’s ideology has manifested itself in his deliberate downgrading of America and reducing its dominance on the world stage. His actions are typical of the socialist/progressive administrations that have bankrupted and ruined almost every country in Europe. In addition to this, and to help America finally disappear down the pan, he is eviscerating the mighty military machine that kept the world’s ambitious dictators in check.

This has not gone unnoticed in Moscow, Beijing and Tehran who have become emboldened and increasingly brazen in their expansionist designs.

While the obsession with sexual orientation and gender proclivities is turning America’s military into a global laughing stock, Russia is expanding westward and encroaching on Americas borders with its bombers and submarines while the Chinese are expanding in the South China Sea and indulging in a cyber war against American industry and its public institutions.

While America is obsessing about gays in the military, its new nuclear capable client in the middle east is publicly lynching them by crane in Tehran Square.

While America is putting pressure on the only democracy in the middle east and putting its very existence in peril, the Ayatollahs are causing bloodshed and death while they expand across the middle east with impunity.

In conclusion; with the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran within reach, Israel is now the front line of defence and the last redoubt against radical Islam, we ignore them at our peril.

DHS Released 260 Criminal Illegal Aliens In 3 Weeks In 1 State

The Obama administration must be working really hard to see how many criminal illegal aliens they can released. It’s like they’re trying to break a record. In Arizona they released 260 criminal illegals in just three short weeks!

Judicial Watch announced today that it obtained records from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealing that nearly 260 illegal alien criminals, including 40 incarcerated for violent crimes, were released from Arizona detention facilities during the last week of February and the first two weeks of March 2013. After first denying that the mass release had taken place, the Obama administration claimed the releases were due to the anticipated sequestration budget cuts. The newly obtained records were uncovered because of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of Edward Tuffly, a Tucson, AZ, resident (Edward "Bud" Tuffly v. U. S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 2:15-cv-00067)).

The report goes on to list all of the crimes committed by the illegals, and how many committed each crime. The list includes robbery, domestic violence, drunk driving, identity theft, and hit and run. Then it gets worse.

The Obama administration is refusing to divulge the names of the released criminals, which prevents law enforcement from protecting the public or notifying victims. Local authorities in Arizona, such as Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, have tried unsuccessfully to obtain information about this and other criminal alien releases by the Obama administration.  In 2014, a Judicial Watch lawsuit forced the release of 76 pages of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) documents revealing that as of April 2014, ICE had released 165,900 convicted criminal aliens throughout the United States, including many convicted of such violent crimes a s homicide, sexual assault, kidnapping, and aggravated assault.

Obama Gets Snippy Over Questions On Iran Deal

President Obama doesn’t like being criticized, especially when it comes to his “historic” deal with Iran. He got all testy and snippy when Major Garrett asked him about the American political prisoners that were left out of the deal.

Garrett asked, "Can you tell the country, sir, why you are content, with all the fanfare around this deal, to leave the conscious of this nation, the strength of this nation, unaccounted for in relation to these four Americans?"

Ouch!

President Obama, however, was visibly angry at the question and snapped at Garrett, "You should know better." (Read More)

Garrett wasn’t bothered by Obama’s scolding, as he noted later.

“Sometimes you have to take a scolding from a president to get to an answer," Garrett said. "That's part of my job."

"Politicians, especially those elected as president, are very adept at creating straw men. Taking something that they feel rhetorically works to their advantage and using it. That's exactly what the president did," Garrett said. "My question did not suggest he was content with the captivity of those four Americans. My question was about the contentment, or the satisfaction, or the realization that it was necessary within the context of this deal to leave them unaccounted for. That was the essence of the question."

"Clearly it struck an serve. That was my intention …. Was it provocative? Yes. Was it intended to be as such? Absolutely." (Read More)

Garrett did his best, but he didn’t really get an answer from Obama, which tells us all we need to know.

Oh, and Garrett isn’t the only one Obama lashed out at. Pretty much anyone who criticized the deal got an earful.

Hillary: Iran will never have a nuke on my watch (they’d be sleeping in the Lincoln bedroom so she’d know)

**Written by Doug Powers

In baseball terms, the nuke deal with Iran allows Tehran to advance to third base on the atomic field of play with full confidence that “inspections” will never allow them to steal home.

Hillary Clinton, who couldn’t even see the Benghazi attack coming in spite of warnings, has vowed to never allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon — the clearest sign yet that she knows voters don’t want Iran to have nukes and/or their check to the Clinton Foundation has not yet cleared:

Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton, in a tough statement on the Iran nuclear deal, vowed on Tuesday that Tehran will never be able to acquire atomic weapons if she is elected to the White House.

Ms Clinton made her statement as critics in the US Congress, as well as skeptical US allies around the globe, criticized the agreement as providing Iran with a glide path albeit a somewhat delayed one toward an eventual nuclear weapon.

‘As president, I would use every tool in our arsenal to compel rigorous Iranian compliance,’ she said.

‘The message to Iran should be loud and clear: We will never allow you to acquire a nuclear weapon; not just during the term of this agreement never.’

A former US secretary of state, Ms Clinton said she is ‘still studying the details’ of the plan, but gave it her qualified backing.

Hillary added, “And besides, I already sold all the available uranium to the Russians.”

Obama’s tell on unconscionable Iranian “deal” [Darleen Click]

ramirez_20150714

Whenever Obama engages in policies that he knows are not in America’s best interest, he blusters and threatens …

Obama said. "I strongly believe that our national security interest now depends on preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, which means that without a diplomatic resolution, either I or a future U.S. president would face a decision about whether or not to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon or whether or not to use our military to stop it. […]

"I welcome a robust debate in Congress on this issue, and I welcome scrutiny of the details of this agreement," Obama said. "But I will remind Congress that you don't make deals like this with your friends."

Obama said that the deal "is not built on trust, it is built on verification."

Really?

The agreement, which was finalized in Vienna, would lift international sanctions on Iran and permit it to continue key elements of its nuclear work, as well as research and development.

Iran will be permitted to continue spinning centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon. Western powers will also work with Iran to help it install and operate more advanced centrifuges, according to those apprised of the deal.

This concession—as well as a range of others made by the United States—has rattled analysts and lawmakers, who have maintained that Iran should not be permitted to retain the core aspects of a nuclear program.

Sanctions also will be lifted on Iran, including those on the country's banks and financial sectors, which have long supported Iran's nuclear program as well as its sponsorship of international terrorist groups.

In one of the most controversial concessions made by the Obama administration, a United Nations embargo on arms will also be lifted within around five years as part of the deal, according to multiple reports. A similar embargo on the construction of ballistic missiles, which could carry a nuclear payload, also will expire in around eight years under the deal.

Initial readings of the deal also indicate that Iran will be given the right to veto so-called "anywhere, anytime" inspections of Iranian nuclear sites. This concession has caused concern that Tehran will be able to continue hiding its nuclear work and potentially continue in secret along the pathway to a bomb.

Obama has outdone (again) Jimmy Carter in the “I haven’t met an enemy of Western Civilizations I don’t like” Department.
