Cold War, Part Deux
Politicians and Washington D.C. told us officially the 45 year long Cold War was over. The United States has a stand-off with the Soviet Union described as a conflict with Communism and a nuclear arms race. During this era, the U.S. government tooled and re-tooled foreign policy, economic competition, technology and the intelligence community. Proxy wars appeared and military tensions spurred yet more re-tooling.
So, here we are in 2011, successfully having finessed an occupational forces conflict with what once was the Soviet Union, and whew, we should feel great about that, but, not so fast.
Not only has communism resumed as a threat to the way of life in America and with her few allies, we must be smart and prudent to admit, there are other wars America is fighting in occupational operations, which by some counts range from three to twelve. Let us remember the Cold War was not an occupational conflict but more a stand-off of two world powers over a totalitarian state versus a Representative Republic and an arms race.
We will leave the debate over Marxism, Socialism, Islam and Communism versus a Representative Republic (U.S. Constitution) for another time. Instead the objective here is to target the arms race, the quiet Cold War Part Deux currently in place and those countries in the silent or not-so-silent war. However, we cannot altogether exclude those types of totalitarian regimes with their quest for, and existing possessions of nuclear weapons, biological and chemical weapons, but eh new type of warfare……Cyberwar.
This list of countries against our way of life in America and her allies is not comprehensive, but does include: China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Venezuela, Syria and Algeria. We must also consider the Soviet Union enduring model which legacy is now part of Russia is back into the equation.
The Cold War ended we are told in 1991, but due to this argument on if it really did end, let us not forget the war/attacks the U.S. has included in recent history.
• U.S. Embassy Beirut 1985
• Achille Lauro 1985
• Pan Am Flight 103, Lockerbie Scotland 1988
• World Trade Center 1993
• Oklahoma City bombing 1995
• Khobar Towers 1998
• U.S.S. Cole 2000
• World Trade Center, Pentagon and Shanksville, PA. 2001
• Riyadh 2001-2003
• Cyber Attacks
o Google, NASA, World Bank, State Department, U.S domestic and foreign embassies, Commerce Department, Naval War College, Lockheed Martin
This list is by no means complete, but it does demonstrate a war against the United States. America is in war with herself over budgetary issues and deficit spending measured against weak revenues. We are still in an arms race, a technology race and a preservation race to keep America a strong and viable power. However, lawmakers and the White House are calling for additional spending cuts for the military beyond that which Secretary Gates eliminated to the tune of $400 billion. Is it logical then at the edge of a Cold War Part Deux, we allow the new Department of Defense Secretary Panetta and the Super Congress to yet gut the military spending by an additional $700 billion?
Are we prepared for this new era Cold War that may include Iran, Venezuela or Syria? America remains in a defense posture, which is not a viable strategy position in this second round of a Cold War.

King George in the White House
The Modern Day King George
Hey, when was the last time you read the Declaration of Independence? Could it be that Barack Obama is worse than King George? Let’s examine just two phrases in the text.
“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
What proves this statement to be true of the man sitting in the Oval Office?
http://bit.ly/ngowS6 Here is the release from last week. So, if some or many citizens pay cash for basic and legal purchases, they are suspect? If we choose to buy dehydrated foods, that is suspicious? How does this affect college students eating the staple of Ramen Noodles or many people across America that no longer have credit cards?
http://michellemalkin.com/2011/06/08/dept-of-education/ It should be noted that 27 different agencies have access to SWAT, but to use high powered weapons and aggressive sharpshooters to raid a private residence all due to a student loan that is in default?
http://www.rutherford.org/articles_db/commentary.asp?record_id=715 America is under attack by many government agencies, how can we allow this to happen without so much as a whimper?
“For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.”
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=838 Take a hard look at the ‘Czars’ that Obama has on his payroll. These people draft policy, not law and these policies create mandates in cabinet departments like the EPA, the Department of Education and Health and Human Services, just to mention only a few.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0611/57032.html In case you missed it, we are in an illegal war in Libya. Make no mistake, it is a war, there are uniformed troops on the ground. We have spent more than $1 billion dollars in an effort to remove Qaddafi, which has proved ineffective. Yet, no action on Assad of Syria?
Reviewing the Declaration of Independence is a compelling assignment and a necessary assignment. This is a very sad time for America as her citizens have not educated themselves and maintained the Checks and Balances. Those on the Federal payroll work for us, yet we are in twisted mire and it is our time to regain our power. http://www.nccs.net/articles/ril31.html
Our time is now to regain our power over government, make our voices heard and stop the tyranny.
Here is your link to the Declaration of Independence, the facts and the history.

Respect Their Sacrifice
Respect Their Sacrifice
I have a friend, a real friend that I have come to know in my heart that he is a true man, a loyal warrior. He is a SEAL. We understand each other yet many words don’t need to be spoken between us – those unspoken conversations are already known and understood. We have never met.
America has a team of friends we have never met so many words are unspoken. They are the SEALS. Some of our friends have fallen from us, yet our way of life is richer for they walked with us for a while. They asked for missions no other could undertake and yet never sought a hero’s title or fame. So we know what was in their hearts. These men are by definition like no others we know. Our SEALS took a loss that we can never explain, never realize and never forget.
We must honor and respect the secrets they require and the grief they deserve. The prayers flow freely in their name.
SEALS are the adopted sons of America. We embrace their spirit, loyalty and brotherhood. Those whose lives were lost leave behind an honor we cannot fully explain, that is a station few will ever reach outside a dream.
To our fallen sons, I know you have now passed the golden tree, mounted your shields to the ceiling and have a seat at the table reserved for the chosen at Valhalla.
“But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive’ ~ Shakespeare
Mexicans in America left Behind Loyalty
Now is the time to re-examine your history and loyalty to your home country. Sure Mexico has had foundational corruption throughout for decades, yet the moment is upon you to reclaim your country.
It is estimated there are up to 40 million Mexicans in America under illegal conditions when measured by the rule of American law. For the sake of argument, let us apply just 4 million to the debate. It is shameful that those 4 million cannot be force multipliers and develop a mission to re-take your home country for the sake of love of country.
Sure the drug cartels have ruled government for years, yet your lack of faith and resolve allows the cartels and corruption to win. Where is your fight, belief, conviction, honor and allegiance?
Mexico has a deep beautiful history; it is a country possessing treasure and resources, that those who have escaped for countless reasons have left behind.
America has shown you the way of life as it could and should be in your home country.
Target key locations to take back and restore education, healthcare, law and commerce. Send a message to Calderon and the cartels. You have the human resources to do this with success. Elections in Mexico are approaching and will Calderon stay or will the cartels manipulate the elections in their favor? Could the entire country of Mexico fall? Look deeply at those countries in the Middle East that are in a revolution due to terror groups and their leaders and governments have failed. Will you allow that in Mexico?
Mexico City years ago hosted the Olympics that set the high standard for all other host cities to follow. Mexico was proud, full of joy and had promise.
You abandoned her now and that is shameful.
Behind the Curtain of the War Stage
Gone are the days of war being fought as depicted in movies like ‘Patton’ or the more recent “Saving Private Ryan’. Occupational forces and ground troops are more likely assigned to patrol duty, holding town councils and passing out candy to children and MRE’s to adults. There is a method used today far removed from historical conflicts, which is to say the current procedure goes as follows:
HUMINT
SIPRNET
IRIDIUM
Intel agencies confab
Dispatch CIA/FBI/Lawyers
Dispatch foreign intel personnel
Compare notes
Choose priorities and targets
Determine mission, success/fail ratio
Determine costs vs. return on investment
Deliver orders for Naval assets to remain close to AO
Confab with foreign intel on who assume assignment parts (NATO)
Get Congressional approval or more recently, side step Congress
Get supplemental war funding or side step and use stash funds or USAID money
Optional UN Resolution approval
Side step War Powers Act
Do not respond to any legislative branch, acquire DoJ cover
Check with International Criminal Court, adjust RoE’s
Determine which is better, ground troops or PMC’s or just payoff the enemy to play nice
Government Elites make personal financial investments in contractors to make some profits on the side. Carlyle Group and Council of Foreign Relations
Call in coordinates for drones or sorties
Check with the Department of Treasury by way of Promis software to determine how much currency can be seized
Create new trade agreements
Funnel currency through 100’s of banks worldwide in nefarious accounts then to the IMF/World Bank/Bank of International Settlements
Embed media and control the message
Draft the associated propaganda with the UNHRC
Determine and deliver the PR campaign
The NSA has the best intel hardware and software in the world by a far measure, yet they have no human resources to process and analyze the data to make predictions, hence January 25 in Cairo and the Arab Spring.
Cyber attacks and Wikileaks are the indicators of the failure of intelligence protections
Who are the pawns? Our dedicated and oath taking people in uniform and the citizens worldwide pay that debt. It is plunder for the sake of Elites. We clearly have enemies worldwide and some very nasty weapons pointed in various directions. The Geospatial system has these pinpointed, so what are we doing? One clear solution is to revisit the Geneva Convention laws as our enemy is not a subscriber. The enemy has found our weaknesses and exploits those limitations. Panetta with his nefarious history is not the point person to do that and frankly, Hillary has broken more than any other Secretary of State in history.
It is time to think out of the box with war strategies as all non-conventional tools must be applied. Political correctness for the sake of the UNHRC and the International Criminal Court is handicapping as is the common solution of monetary payoffs. The leadership of the mid-level military officers must be heard and considered.
