Libya Kenetic BS War of 2011 Reminds US
president. Speaking of better POTUS material...HOW about Paul Ryan and Chris Christie, TWO Tea Party greats who should be drafted as POTUS and vice respectively. Sorry Donald Trump...nice try though...now be a stalking horse for these two HEAVY-WEIGHT HITTERS! And that said...
Remember that time in US HISTORY when STOUT-HEARTED MEN ran the USA?
Men with a pair of onions in their proverbial grocery bag?
Early in the year 1786 Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to by ship to London to speak with Tripoli's Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman. Jefferson and Adams questioned the Ambassador with words to the effect,"How can Muslims make war on nations that have done nothing to them? The Ambassador via translator answered that "It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every Muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once". (1)(5) Opinion: This admission of "taking a knife to a gunfight" may have inspired Jefferson to fight back but Adams signed the "Treaty of Tripoli" after Congress drafted the one-page treaty which read in part:(3)(4)
Art. 10. The money and presents demanded by the Bey of Tripoli, as a full and satisfactory consideration on his part, and on the part of his subjects, for this treaty of perpetual peace and friendship, are acknowledged to have been received by him previous to his signing the same, according to a receipt which is hereto annexed, except such as part as is promised, on the part of the United States, to be delivered and paid by them on the arrival of their Consul in Tripoli; of which part a note is likewise hereto annexed. And no pretense of any periodical tribute of further payments is ever to be made by either party.
Art. 11. As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries.
Art. 12. In case of any dispute, arising from a violation of any of the articles of this treaty, no appeal shall be made to arms; nor shall war be declared on any pretext whatever. But if the Consul, residing at the place where the dispute shall happen, shall not be able to settle the same, an amicable referrence shall be made to the mutual friend of the parties, the Dey of Algiers; the parties hereby engaging to abide by his decision. And he, by virtue of his signature to this treaty, engages for himself and successors to declare the justice of the case, according to the true interpretation of the treaty, and to use all the means in his power to enforce the observance of the same.
Signed and sealed at Tripoli of Barbary the 3d day of Junad in the year of the Hegira 1211— corresponding with the 4th day of November, 1796, by
JUSSOF BASHAW MAHOMET, Bey.
MAMET, Treasurer.
AMET, Minister of Marine.
SOLIMAN KAYA.
GALIL, General of the Troops.
MAHOMET, Commander of the City.
AMET, Chamberlain.
ALLY, Chief of the Divan.
MAMET, Secretary.
Signed and sealed at Algiers, the 4th day of Argill, 1211—corresponding with the 3d day of
January, 1797, by
HASSAN BASHAW, Dey,
And by the agent Plenipotentiary of the United States of America,
JOEL BARLOW.
And we thought the 111th Congress was SICK and DEMENTED? These guys listened to this being read AND ALL VOTED FOR IT. Of course the MONEY could have been $20 in GOLD and the PRESENTS...2 bottles of apple juice? To be divided amongst boatleads of Muslim pirates and several Muslim big shots, doubtless it was at least a small sack of silver and some "presents". Hot lead makes a PERFECT "Present". One scattershot kills all it hits. Just desserts for cutthroat Muslim dirtbags.
Note that the date of the treaty, which was signed and read before Congress, was during the time John Adams was POTUS. As Adams won the Presidency by 3 votes, the Constitution awarded "second place" which was the Vice-Presidency to Thomas Jefferson in 1796. The White House website calls this a "flaw". (4) At the time, it was seen as "fair" and agreed to by all parties. The two were so obtuse to each others beliefs that the Constitution was changed later so that like-minded party hacks would run for and become elected to the Vice-Presidency cancelling out the advisory/adversity aspect originally intended in the Constitution.
As for Jefferson breaking the treaty and attacking without Congressional declaration of war, the Constitution always advocated self-defense, even on the high seas.
The U.S. Constitution states in plain language, in Article 1, Section 8, Clause 10: "To define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high seas, and offenses against the law of nations". Constitutional legalities, therefore make it crystal clear that the definition of piracy was already determined by Congress and Jefferson took the actions necessary to punish those piracies as the Commander in Chief. As the Constitution does not require that a Declaration of War is necessary to pursue such crimes on the high seas, Jefferson had the right to instruct via the "Chain of Command" that the U.S. Navy should defend U.S. shipping and Navy vessels and not have to take the time for Congress to act.
However, if the pirates sailed into home port, going after them then constituted war i.e. "Barbary Wars" as the US Marines had to engage the enemy on foreign soil not out in the high sea. The pirates were aware of this so would attack, take a ship, then sail for home port safety. Nowadays we can "send them to the bottom" by "cutting them off from home port" with air power. The India government has purchased air power to assist pirates to see flaming pits of bar-b-que with 72 virgin serving girls in paradise. (2)

October Surprise Lawyer Charade
Allegedly, an August 22, 1985 memo from Admiral John Poindexter to National Security Advisor Robert McFarlane states that Capt. Gunther Karl Russbacher ( 1942-2005) piloted a DC 6 loaded with some of 408 Tow missiles given to Iran in the Iran-Contra deal. Oliver North aboard! Missiles mistakenly taken to the wrong Iranian unit! Robert Hunt was there. Allegedly Hunt was or is presently in prison. Among Poindexter’s memos were descriptions of money put into accounts. A May 30 Oliver North alleged memo to the admiral describes a snafu or goof in negotiations with the Iranians, which Russbacher attended. A June 16 memo from VP Bush to Poindexter allegedly asks Oliver North to thank Hunt and Russbacher for their efforts. A November 11, 1993 letter from Mossad agent Moshe Ben-Manash allegedly confirmed the jive fiction of the Iran/Conra exchange of missiles and Russbacher’s alleged role.
Allegedly piloting the SR -71 plane Russbacher sped George H. W. Bush to Paris, France on October 19, 1980 to negotiate the October Surprise at the Hotel Crillion in Paris. The Iranians agreed to hold 52 American hostages until after the presidential election. Richard Brenneke, Russbacher’s cousin and also an arms dealer, was another pilot , and the third was Heinrich Rupp. Bush was there to oversee the deal, and Russbacher flew Bush back to the US in an SR -71 needle nosed spy plane. Adnam Khashoggi, the arms dealer, paid for the return flight’s fuel with his credit card. George H.W. Bush mentioned Russbacher’s unlikely claim at a 1992 news conference. Brenneke was later jailed allegedly for mentioning the flight but a jury, lawyer persuaded, believed his story and released him. (Another part of this tale, had Israelis passing Tow missles to their sworn-death-to-Israel enemies the Iranians ROFL.)who MIGHT pass them out to 50 million Arabs surrounding tiny Israel and anniliate them for being stupid!)
Democrat pipe dream "October Surprise" was mentioned in a 1991 tome by former Iranian President Bani-Sadr called My Turn to Speak in which he claimed "proof of contacts between Khomeini and the supporters of Ronald Reagan as early as the spring of 1980" but never produced any proof. It is very easy to agree with liberals if it will sell a book by a virtually unknown writer or a ghost-writer.
"I wonder whether they're going to use the same prosecutors that are trying out there to see whether I was in Paris in 1980 and flew home in an SR-71 Blackbird. I mean, where are we going with the taxpayers' money in this political year? So, let them look at it. It's no problem to me. But I think ...somebody ought to say where is all this money going that goes to pay for these special prosecutors, rummaging through files and proving nothing. I was not in Paris, and we did nothing illegal or wrong here. We tried, and it didn't work, and we moved. And that's the answer to it..." (NY Times June 5, 1992)
Inconsistencies in the "story" include: Did the plane re-fuel on the coast of Europe, in the Canary Islands, Jamaica, or elsewhere two to 5 times? Why is there no mention or proof of re-fueling? Did they take Mr. K's credit card along and Mr. K's to vouch for buying lots of jet fuel? If Mr. K tagged along, where did they put him on the no-passenger military jet?
HMMM...if a case of wine produced "The Ammityville Horror", how much adult beverage would it take to invent the "October Surprise"? This was not even an original name but originally referred to the murders of the Tzar Nikolai Romanov and the Russian royal family in 1917 by Bolshevics.
Perhaps the idea started because Mr. Bush was a WWII pilot, then why not add a SR-71 Blackbird, to spice up a boring flight story. "October Surprise" was a made-up smear, designed perhaps by a green-horn reporter with little or no knowledge of aircraft and not a very good liar either!
Iranians, aware that releasing the 52 hostages not killing them, would make it appear they had won a victory especially if Democrat lawyers had cooked up the scenario and "advised them" it was a "perfect time" to attempt to embarass Ronald Reagan and even named it the "October Surprise" for the November elections. Fearing that "Cowboy" Reagan had plans for their flaming deaths, why not have a good laugh making it look like they had been bribed? As a bonus it would anger America's ally, Israel, that America would arm Israel's enemy.
Later some of these same jokers would load a jet liner with corpses and stage a "shootdown" of an innocent jetliner by the "Great Satan" Americans or kamakazi the jet crashing into an American ship for "even more fun and games."

Hot For Doing Harm 111th Congress
As promised...just to set the mood...words from Beyond the Grave by Ernesto (Che) Guevara
If they attack, we shall fight to the end. If the rockets had remained, we would have used them all and directed them against the very heart of the United States, including New York, in our defense against aggression. But we haven’t got them, so we shall fight with what we’ve got.
Statement in an interview with a reporter for the London Daily Worker (November 1962), as quoted in Companero: The Life and Death of Che Guevara (1998), by Jorge G. Castaneda, p. 231, 1st Vintage Books ISBN 0679759409
Variant translation: If the missiles had remained we would have used them against the very heart of America including New York. We must never establish peaceful coexistence. In this struggle to the death between two systems we must gain the ultimate victory. We must walk the path of liberation even if it costs millions of atomic victims.
As quoted in The Nuclear Deception : Nikita Khrushchev and the Cuban Missile Crisis (2002) by Servando Gonzalez, p. 111
These battles shall not be mere street fights with stones against tear-gas bombs, or of pacific general strikes; neither shall it be the battle of a furious people destroying in two or three days the repressive scaffolds of the ruling oligarchies; the struggle shall be long, harsh, and its front shall be in the guerrilla's refuge, in the cities, in the homes of the fighters — where the repressive forces shall go seeking easy victims among their families — in the massacred rural population, in the villages or cities destroyed by the bombardments of the enemy.
The beginnings will not be easy; they shall be extremely difficult. All the oligarchies' powers of repression, all their capacity for brutality and demagoguery will be placed at the service of their cause. Our mission, in the first hour, shall be to survive; later, we shall follow the perennial example of the guerilla, carrying out armed propaganda ... the great lesson of the invincibility of the guerrillas taking root in the dispossessed masses; the galvanizing of the national spirit, the preparation for harder tasks, for resisting even more violent repressions. Hatred as an element of the struggle; a relentless hatred of the enemy, impelling us over and beyond the natural limitations that man is heir to and transforming him into an effective, violent, selective and cold killing machine. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy.
Variant translation: The great lesson of the guerrillas' invincibility is taking hold among the masses of the dispossessed. The galvanization of the national spirit; the preparation for more difficult tasks, for resistance to more violent repression. Hate as a factor in the struggle, intransigent hatred for the enemy that takes one beyond the natural limitations of a human being and converts one into an effective, violent, selective, cold killing machine. Our soldiers must be like that; a people without hate cannot triumph over a brutal enemy.
We must carry the war into every corner the enemy happens to carry it: to his home, to his centers of entertainment; a total war. It is necessary to prevent him from having a moment of peace, a quiet moment outside his barracks or even inside; we must attack him wherever he may be; make him feel like a cornered beast wherever he may move. Then his moral fiber shall begin to decline. He will even become more beastly, but we shall notice how the signs of decadence begin to appear.
"Che Guevara was himself, a killing machine." Widow of Old Cuban Whose Execution Was Televised
That out of the way...how about that "hot" for doing harm, 111th Congress?
What constitutes "hot" and what has been the harm by the 111th Congress?
Hot for Harm is when Nancy Pelosi declares before the cameras,
"http://www.breitbart.tv/nancy-pelosi-we-need-to-pass-health-care-bill-to-find-out-whats-in-it/
See "Hot for Harm travesty, depravity, and tyranny for yourself."
Nancy Pelosi: “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy. Furthermore, we believe that health care reform, again I said at the beginning of my remarks, that we sent the three pillars that the President’s economic stabilization and job creation initiatives were education and innovation—innovation begins in the classroom—clean energy and climate, addressing the climate issues in an innovative way to keep us number one and competitive in the world with the new technology, and the third, first among equals I may say, is health care, health insurance reform."
Now we find out that all manner of bribery, coertion, deceit, and other "illegal for business to do and you go to jail, get the perp-walk", namely the well-known favoritism, back-room deals. "Cornhusker Kickback" gave Nebraska via my-name-is-now-mud Senator Ben Nelson a permanent exemption from the state share of Medicaid expansion for Nebraska, meaning federal taxpayers have to pay out an additional $45 million in the first ten years and forevermore. in the Senate's messed up health care legislation. Another Democratic holdout extortionist, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), took heat/credit/blame for $10 billion in new funding for community health centers, while untruthing /denying it was a “sweetheart deal” which got the taxpayers more against-our-will-and unwilling "romance". Sanders was obviously enthusiastic about a bad bill he said he would not support three days before the bribe.
Democrat RattleSnake Senator Ben Nelson and PIT Viper Senator Carl Levin (D-Mich.) gouged out an unfair exemption for non-profit insurers in Nebraska and Michigan, respectively, from an economy-wrecking excise tax sighted in by the 111th TRAVESTY CONGRESS already as the Value Added Tax or VAT tax that has wrecked havoc in the European Union across Europe. Insurers in the other 48 states will pay the VAT tax, through the NOSE and out the WAZOO. As stated by Rush H. Limbaugh, a VAT tax would be more fair than the "progressive" income tax which is largely carried by wage earners and upper brackets, HOWEVER that stinking, no-good, 54000 page of code INCOME TAX would have to go which will NEVER happen. The income tax is too big a weapon in the hands of Congress to ever toss away. Congress wields an ax with the income tax, that cannot be given up...it is an ultimate power which has, unfortunately, corrupted absolutely.
Add that to the buying of Democratic Senator Mary (Water Moccasin Snake) Landrieu for $300 million increase for Medicaid in Louisiana, which easily won her immoral sold-out bought up vote.
A lesser known deal was Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)and Senator Patrick (Leaky) Leahy (D-Vt.) Massachusetts' Senator John (F for Fooling) Kerry were given additional Medicaid funding, more bribery. Pennsylvania, New York and Florida were donated protections for their Medicare Advantage beneficiaries at a time when the Medicare program is getting cuts across the USA.
Many governors are rightly hair-pullingly concerned that the Medicaid expansion will drain already stressed state budgets. This could be a hammer to hit governors to keep their attorneys-general from seeking lawsuits against this UNCONSTITUTIONAL health care forced buying.
Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) put forth an amendment to protect new if imaginary, savings from Medicare from being used to fund new entitlements. The passed legislation and the reconciliation package would create a combined $529 billion in cuts to Medicare spending over ten years. "For the TRAVESTYS FORCES claim these cuts will be applied to increase the fatally-flawed program’s solvency, which will otherwise cause $38 trillion in unfunded liabilities to the taxpayers. Gregg's improvement bill LOST 56-42 and was "tabled" or put aside forever...Sen. Gregg’s amendment would have ensured prolonged fiscal sustainability of Medicare. Obviously the "New Lame Ducks" want to get that VAT tax and prevent a recovery and prolong the "crisis".
When "Lame-Duck-In-His-Own-Right" Senator John McCain (R-AZ) put forward an amendment that would remove increases in Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital payments for Tennessee and Hawaii, the “Louisiana Purchase”or Sen. Mary (Water Moccasin Snake) Landrie's $300 million deal, Medicare coverage for Libby, Montana residents exposed to environmental hazards, and $100 million for hospitals in Connecticut. The amendment was tabled with a vote of 54-43 leaving in the bribes to be taxpayer paid.
Another Republican tried to unscrew the taxpayers, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) wanted to commit the mess for clean up to the Finance committee so that Obama could keep his word NOT to SHAFT the middle class making $200,000 or less individually or families with $250,000 AKA "Al Gore Millionare Taxpayers) with increased taxes. The Senate voted to table this amendment with a vote of 56-43. It appears that Sen. Robert (I'm SO Old I Was A Democrat Klansman) Byrd just stays at the rest home these days.
Health care travesty passed on Sunday mandates or forces employers into unintended consequences because they do not offer their workers insurance. This provision will encourage employers to avoid hiring low-income workers, it will encourage employers who must hire a high proportion of low-income workers to drop the coverage they presently offer, leading to loss of jobs and lower wages. Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) offered a motion to fight this by referring the bill AGAIN to the Finance Committee to strike the employer mandate and replace it with other offsets. The Senate voted 58-41 to table this amendment, revealing that Byrd goofed off and 2 Republicans had gone home, as in "What's the use?" People with 2 part-time jobs such as MOST Hawaiians will see BOTH employers penalized for hiring them!
Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) proffered an amendment requiring that nothing in the bill would cause premium increases. It got tabled with a vote of 57-41.
As Obama has promised that THEY, meaning his henchmen/women in government have similar coverge to politicians and their cronies. That Obamacare will rival the popular Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) which members of Congress and other federal employer buy as insurance. Senator Charles (Gotta Love This!) Grassley (R-IA) sponsored a bill that would force proponents of the package to put this claim to the test by requiring that the President and all members of Congress and their staff receive health care through the newly-created exchanges rather than through the FEHBP. Did the Senate want Obamacare...HELL NO! Democrats flushed that idea 56-43 and no doubt cast "MEAN EYES" on Republicans for "the VERY IDEA!
"The State of Nebraska cannot afford an unfunded mandate and uncontrolled spending of this magnitude,” the governor wrote to Nelson.
Senator (Dingy) Harry the Democrat Reid of Nevada declared he was excused because Obama wanted to ruin Christmas as he had evoked terror during Halloween:
“You’ll find a number of states that are treated differently than other states. That’s what legislating is all about. It's compromise," Senator Reid said.
Reid may as well have added,"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!. The taxpayers should,"lie back and enjoy it. I'm out of here smiling, knowing so much damage has been wrought. I feel MEAN! I'm a BASTARD! What a FEELING! Such DEMONIC RAW POWER! CRUSHING AMERICAN SPIRIT IN MY OLD AGE so powerfully makes me feel like...a man...a despotic, EVIL man reining MAJESTICALLY among lesser DESPOTIC men and woman! FEARED by the GOOD...LOVED by the bad...I should live to be 200 after all this...then I will laugh as they feel my wrath...from the grave!"

Speaking of Last Chances...unflushed Democrats and like-non-minded no-brain-cell-working-RINO Republicans can say."GOOD-BYE" because the people are wise to their lies and are not going to "take it anymore", we cannot say exactly WHERE the people have been taking it, but it has not been a romantic encounter!
It has been a very strange trip for patriotic, freedom-loving Americans watching a 1%er 111th Congress decide to do something and people be damned...doing as they please.
Voters...recall:
"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -Morpheus, The Matrix
It looks like the 111th Congress has been on a drunken bing and needs to WAKE UP!
