Sole Suspect Brussels Attack Freed, Lack Of Evidence
by Pat_S on March 28, 2016Faycal Cheffou , the only person charged specifically in relation to the Brussels bombings, has been released due to lack of evidence. Brussels Attacks ‘Suspect’ Faycal Cheffou Freed Due to Lack of Evidence Belgium on Monday released the sole suspect prosecutors had arrested directly in relation to the Brussels terror attacks. Belgian media had cited police sources in saying Cheffou was the “man in the hat” seen in airport surveillance footage from just before the attacks. However, a new appeal issued by police Monday seeking help identifying that suspect appeared to cast doubt on the reports saying Cheffou was the man in question. Early Monday, Belgium’s federal prosecutor announced that three people had been charged with participation in a terror...

Fidel Castro Has A Few Words For Obama
by Pat_S on March 28, 2016The Obama team has plenty of trouble with optics but at least they knew better than to have a meeting between Barack and Fidel. The stated reason being it was a government-to-government occasion. The romantic radical must have fantasized about a euphoric convocation with the iconic revolutionary. Look how the vision has grown and taken form that I a kindred spirit has risen to the heights of power in the weakening imperialistic gargantua. What glorious future lies ahead? I did it! I did it! But alas, as old men will do, Fidel, in a published letter to Obama, had harsh words for the young man. While the young man looks to the future, the old man can’t get over the...

What’s In Your Briefcase? Putin Pokes Fun At Kerry
by Pat_S on March 25, 2016John Kerry met with Vladimir Putin in Geneva for another round of Syrian talks. Putin took note that John Kerry debarked from his plane carrying his own briefcase. Putin said he was “frustrated and upset” to see that. Maybe things in America are not so good that a senior official had to carry his own luggage. Putin speculated Kerry might have something in the briefcase that he could not trust anyone else to handle. Perhaps money to haggle on key matters for the talks. Kerry replied Putin will later get to see what is in the briefcase and he will be pleasantly surprised. Hmmmm. I’d like to know what’s in his briefcase that will pleasantly surprise Putin. Emotional Baggage: Vladimir...

Psychology Today Suggests Hillary Needs A Dog Trainer To Control Her Shrillness
by Pat_S on March 19, 2016And this is friendly advice from someone who obviously likes her. Dr. Mark Gouston, author of seven books, writes in Psychology Today that Hillary Clinton has a case of fearful aggression. This results in a speaking style that turns people away from her. The doctor likens the condition to a fearful dog that growls when scared. Dog trainers know how to teach the dogs better behavior. He suggests Hillary needs this kind of training. How to De-Shrill Hillary Clinton Hillary’s dilemma is that she is smart and speaks about what people need and want, but her style causes people to not want her. The reason for that is that Hillary has a case of fearful aggression. Fearful aggression is well...

RNC Sends Out Bogus Delinquent Notice To Raise Money
by Pat_S on March 18, 2016Yesterday I received an envelope in the mail stamped “NOTICE OF DELINQUENCY” in large red letters. Return address was OFFICE OF RECORDS, Michigan Area Assessment, “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUESTED”. I knew it was a scam so I opened it curious to find out what the bogus delinquncey was about. A phony debt collection agency in Nigeria? No, it was from the Republican National Committee. They say they’ve been trying to contact me—they haven’t but that’s irrelevant—and time is running out. They go on to say, Your first choice may not win the Nomination, but all of our Republican candidates support repealing ObamaCare… etcetera Same old tired pitch that we really have no other choice. That’s building team spirit! Should I be...

Hillary May Be The One To Benefit From Citizens United
by Pat_S on March 15, 2016Donald Trump is getting massive free media during the primaries. Should he wind up Hillary’s opponent in November and the media Trump obsession be unabated, Hillary will need a massive infusion of money for air time. This Media Coverage Chart Shows Why Hillary Clinton Should Be Thankful for the Citizens United Decision Presumably (though perhaps we shouldn’t assume this is the case) any attempt to restrain political speech by corporations, groups, or unions would naturally exclude media outlets’ own speech, as doing so would be a clear First Amendment violation. So had the Citizens United decision gone Clinton’s way, it would likely have had no significant impact in the amount of attention Trump is getting and the skewed media dynamic...

Hillary Can’t Recall If She Ever Lied To The American People
by Pat_S on February 19, 2016CBS’s Scott Pelley asked Hillary Clinton if she ever lied to the American people. Her answer was less than forthright causing Pelley to comment it could seem she was leaving herself “wiggle room”. Even so, Hillary continued to avoid a direct answer by saying… “You know, you’re asking me to say, ‘Have I ever?’ I don’t believe I ever have… I don’t believe I ever will. I’m going to do the best I can to level with the American people.” We recall having credulity stretched by the Clintons (emphasis added). Hillary Clinton’s Legacy of Scandal Do you recall the slime that was Whitewater, in which the Clintons dissembled and lied while their former business partners went to jail? Do you...

Islamo-funny: Fox Making Muslim Sitcom To Counteract Islamophobia
by Pat_S on February 19, 2016Obama suggested it . Fox is working on it . What better way to propagandize Americans than through an innocent TV sitcom? There’s no hiding the intent. It is to open the hearts and minds of all you Islamophobes. I was imagining something like The Adventures of Aziz and Hooriyah or Everybody Loves Mohammed, but according to Deadline Hollywood the show will be about a 14-year old boy with adult responsibilities as the man of the house. Bet you’re already conjuring up some sordid images about male/female relationships in the Muslim world because of all that cable news you watch. Too bad there’s already a show called “The Americans”. It’s on FX and it’s about embedded Soviet agents who look,...

ISIS Instructs ‘Lone Wolves’ To Look Like Christians
by Pat_S on January 10, 2016ISIS issued a booklet as a guide for ‘home grown’ operatives. Its grotesquely ironic title is “Safety and Security for Lone Wolf Mujahideen”. Blending in is key. Nightclubs, where it is loud and people are drunk, are good places to meet for planning. Wear Christian crosses, avoid traditional Muslim greetings, shave off beards. Don’t forget the aftershave. The guidelines are all of a theme: don’t look like a Muslim. Pretend to be Christians: ISIS urges UK jihadis to cut beards, shun mosques & wear crosses The introduction says: “No doubt that today, at the era of the lone wolves, brothers in the West need to know some important things about safety in order to ensure success in their operations. How...

Islamists in India Squeal Over Blasphemous Piggy Bank Cartoon
by Pat_S on December 1, 2015Follow carefully: An Indian newspaper used a piggy bank cartoon to illustrate ISIS funding. The ISIS seal is in place of the pig’s nose. The ISIS seal has elements of the Islamic shahada. The Islamic shahada is a creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet. It is a big deal in Islam. The placing of the creed on a cartoon pig outraged Muslims who deemed it blasphemous. Muslim protesters attack bank offices and demand the arrest of the editor and the cartoon artist. Newspaper draws piggy bank to show ISIS funding, Muslim groups attack it as pig is “unislamic” The newspaper has published an apology for the illustration and said action...

One Of These Days To The Moon Alice
by Pat_S on October 30, 2015A group of eight female Russian astronauts is in training for a trip to the moon. They were interviewed before entering a research facility to study their psychology. Some feathers have been ruffled by the institute director’s sexist remark about the women living with each other for several days. All-female Russian crew starts Moon mission test “I’d like to wish you a lack of conflicts, even though they say that in one kitchen, two housewives find it hard to live together,” he added. The Russian media questioned the astronauts about hair washing and living without men or makeup. Unfortunately for the staunchest feminists, one of the astronauts said: “I don’t know how we’ll survive without shampoo. Because even in this...

Russia Warns Neighbors About Invasion—From Taliban
by Pat_S on October 28, 2015Looks like Russia has an itch to save the world from Islamic terrorism. Historically, when Russia scratches others bleed. The FSB, the Russian intelligence agency, is warning that Central Asia is at an increased risk of being invaded by the Taliban and Islamic State. Putin called for the Central Asian nations to act together to repel an IS attack. Central Asia was part of the Russian Empire and later of the Soviet Union. It includes the “stans”. Millions of Russians and Ukranians still live in the area. It would be rather convenient for Putin’s ambition to rebuild the Russian Empire if he had to go in and “help” Central Asia and/or protect ethnic Russians. Russian intelligence chief: IS may invade...

Putin: US Should Have Given Russia $500 Million Instead
by Pat_S on October 12, 2015Putin is boasting about how effective Russia’s airstrikes are in Syria. Much better than what the U.S. did with their $500 million program to train and support militant groups. In fact, says Putin, the U.S. money would have been better spent if we gave it to Russia. Bravado, another sign of weakness I suppose. Putin says Russia’s campaign in Syria is more effective than America’s “It would have been better to give us $500 million,” Putin said of the aborted U.S. program to fund the Free Syrian Army. “At least we would have used it more effectively from the point of view of fighting international terrorism.” Snap! Putin also offered the U.S. a supporting role to join Russia’s Syrian involvement...

Terror Consultant Says ISIS Could Fall In Hours
by Pat_S on October 6, 2015Dr. Afzal Ashraf, a Consultant Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, has long been saying ISIS’s strength is exaggerated— mostly because the Iraqi army caved. From a BBC opinion piece written by Dr. Ashraf in September, 2014. After the shock of Islamic State’s (IS) land-grab in Iraq, horrifying videos of hostage beheadings and the public debates about possible terrorist attacks at home and military action abroad, it is unsurprising that people are worried. Collectively, these factors have made the threat of IS appear greater and the situation more pessimistic than it is. Of course, IS should be taken seriously and stopped, but the situation is more positive than many think. A British Newspaper ran a story yesterday with the...
