A Russian scholar is predicting that the current financial crisis in the U.S. will lead to the breakup of the country.
Igor Panarin, a professor at the diplomatic academy of Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told the newspaper Izvestia on Monday that America will break apart into six regions following the crisis.
“Dissatisfaction is growing, and it is only being held back at the moment by the elections, and the hope that Obama can work miracles, but when spring comes, it will be clear that there are no miracles.”
Panarin predicts the U.S. will split into: the Pacific, the South, Texas, the Atlantic coast, the central states and the northern states, and hinted that Alaska could be Russia’s for the taking.
Actually, the thought of California succeeding from the Union has never bothered me, it’s like a foreign country anyway. I think Sarah Palin would have other thoughts regarding Alaska and I’ll bet she’s got the weapons to back it up.
America is quite divided today and when the system breaks down, almost anything can happen. However, I view this story as typical, old Soviet Union style, hateful, envious, wishful thinking. Still, it is up to the American people to make sure something like this never happens. Complacency to the breakdown of traditional American moral values is not the answer.
Clearly, the Russians are delighted by the current chaos in America, and to celebrate, they are off to play Battleship with Hugo Chavez, but that’s another story.
Here is Valerie Jarrett, Co-Chair of the Obama-Biden Transition Team, commenting about the Obama transition on Meet the Press. The sync on the sound isn’t right so don’t look at her lips.
Since when do Presidents “Rule?”
Do we, as American Citizens refer to our President as a “Ruler?”
Once again, here we are on the day that America honors its veterans. Each year, I feel this day is increasingly important, for so many modern day Americans have no idea the cost of the lifestyle they lead, and the freedoms they so enjoy.
One of my favorite expressions regarding Veterans Day is this…
If you can read the newspaper, thank a teacher. If the newspaper is in English, thank a Vet.
God bless America, and all her Veterans. Make sure you find one today and thank him or her for their service.
And now for your entertainment and enlightenment, I offer you this fantastic speech given by General Douglas MacArthur for his farewell address to Congress, April 19th, 1951. The speech itself is nearly 38 minutes long with the best of it in the last 15 minutes or so, but I encourage you to listen to the whole thing.
Also, here is another one of my favorites although less authentic, Mel Gibson as Lieutenant Colonel Hal Moore in the movie, We Were Soldiers. It’s considerably shorter.
As America spirals into depression with the most left, socialist, government in history about to take command, one industry is booming, the gun industry.
It seems many Americans are worried about their right to purchase and own firearms under the upcoming administration. As spending is down and American retailers are reporting the slowest sales in years, Americas gun dealers are having a hay-day, reporting record sales from coast to coast.
According the the FBI, in October 2008 there were more than 108,000 more background checks for gun purchases than in October 2007.
I’ve always felt firearm sales should be some sort of indicator, like consumer confidence, or the jobless rate. A huge spike in sales, should certainly tell us something.
Are Americans less secure with the safety of their environment? Do they feel they will loose their right to purchase a firearm under the future administration? It would seem so.
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama spoke to Ohio voters and said, “I will not take your shotgun away, I will not take your rifle away. I won’t take your handgun away.”
As a Senator, Obama voted to leave gun-makers and dealers open to lawsuits, and as an Illinois state legislator, he supported a ban on semiautomatic weapons and tighter restrictions on all firearms.
Personally, I think Barack Obama has bigger things to worry about right now, like a huge economic crisis and two wars, but he is clearly in a hurry to change many things about America, and the right to own a firearm could certainly be on the list.
Everyone knows Barack Obama raised a huge amount of money in his quest for the Presidency. Much of this money, at least 300 million, cannot be traced back to the donors. No one has any idea where this money came from.
One of the many tricks the Obama campaign used to accomplish this was disabling the security software on their credit card machines that matches a name and address to an account number. This technique allowed the Obama campaign to gather 100 million dollars of completely untraceable money in September alone, much of which involved currency exchange.
The are many advantages to gathering this type of untraceable money. First, it makes it awful hard to return unused (yeah right) or unqualified contributions. Second, this method would also make it possible for anyone to exceed the individual contribution limits. For instance, Osama Bin Laden could eazily dontate $20,000 by making 10 individual contributions of $2000 each.
I imagine, Barack Obama has already begun spreading the wealth around, starting with all his close allies in Chicago.
So, America tolerated this unscrupulous behavior, as well as, a remarkably similar voter registration drive.
Get ready for Obama fraud phase 3. The Obama-Biden Transition Project.
The Obama camp has setup a non-profit corporation to except donations of up to $5000 to supplement the 6.3 million dollars in tax payer funds set aside for the Presidential transition. These funds are normally used to vet potential cabinet members. Apparently Mr. Obama does not feel 6.3 million will be enough.
There are restrictions on how the public funds can be used, but those restrictions don’t exist for these private donations. I guess you have to pay for lavish parties and hookers somehow. Perhaps hire Bill Ayers to do a study on the education system of America. Now that Reverend Wright has resurfaced, maybe there is a slice of the pie for him? The possibilities are endless.
Considering the past track record of the Obama campaign, it is doubtful the source of these donations will ever be revealed, leading to serious questions of who Obama is indebted to, and how that debt will affect his judgement.
