Putin, at long last issues a Crystal Clear Warning to warmongering gang

Watch from approximately the 1hr 15min mark.  I feel this is a very important address given by the prez of Russia. Many in the "exceptional nation" will pooh-pooh the warning as a bluff but are they willing to take a chance and prove to the world how deep into insanity they have let the USA  fall because of their blood-lust? 

I have not read the official translation as yet, but going by this translator's words, I detect a not-so-subtle warning to Netanyahu towards the end of the speech.... "..stop living in the past and stop rocking the boat..."
Great leader, that Putin.  Russians are very fortunate to have him.

Parts of Speech given by Syrian President al-Assad

And, this is the secular man, the collective Anglo powers and their partners-in-crime, the Sunni dictatorships of the Middle East, Turkey and the country that can do no wrong, sweet, lovable Israel, wants to see gone and replaced by Muslim fanatics.
 
This is the man whose country has been ravaged and broken into several pieces and whose citizens sent hither and thither around the world begging for shelter and refuge from the very countries that have brought misery upon them.  This is the leader of Syria, a country torn apart by those we the citizens of the West have voted to power.  Why have they deemed it necessary to wage a proxy war on a secular leader of a secular nation? We can only guess at the answer, although to do so we have to make ourselves go to the very depths of insanity, calumny and  unspeakable hatred, but putting ourselves into those shoes for even a few short minutes can be very depressing.

Below the first few paragraphs from the English translation ... highlighted areas are my doing:
 
Damascus, SANA- President Bashar al-Assad said  that any political idea for resolving the crisis in Syria that isn’t based on eliminating terrorism is a meaningless idea that has no chance of seeing the light; therefore the priority is eliminating terrorism wherever it is found in Syria.

In a speech delivered before heads and members of public organizations, vocational syndicates, and chambers of industry, trade, agriculture and tourism, President al-Assad said that this meeting takes at a time when many matters have become clear and many masks have fallen, exposing lies some sides had wanted the world to believe, and also made refuting the excuses made by those who attacked Syria a a waste of time and effort because this talk is self-evident.

“Because of this, our questions today as Syrians are no longer about those self-evident facts, but rather about the possibilities facing Syria in light of the rapid accelerating of events and the transitioning of the methodical process of destruction carried out by terrorist organizations to unprecedented levels,” he said.

President al-Assad went on saying that this shows the criminal minds of the officials in the states that support terrorism, as well as showing that their previous methods to deceive the Syrian people have failed, and so they increased the scale of savagery of terrorism as their final method to give the Syrians two choices: submit to dictations or be killed.

The President noted that this escalation shows desperation due to the steadfastness of the Syrian people who have withstood a war unseen in modern history, and this steadfastness foiled the plans of Syria’s enemies and threatened the political future of many of those who supported terrorism, particularly after the aftershocks of terrorism have begun to affect innocent people in the countries of those who support terrorism, and therefore can no longer use false pretenses to deceive public opinion.
“For a long time, they said that they support rebels and those who demand freedom and democracy in Syria, but their people have discovered that they are supporting terrorists and that the people are paying the price for their governments’ support for terrorists in Syria,” he said, noting that in the past, the Middle East was supposed to be the one exporting terrorism to the rest of the world, but now there are incubators for terrorism in the west in addition to the ones in the Middle East, particularly in the Arab Gulf, and most recently in Tunisia and Libya.

President al-Assad said that Syria had explained before that terrorism knows no borders and can’t be stops by procedures, denouncements, or announcements, adding “we warned them that the spread of terrorism isn’t stopped by wars or ended by planes. Terrorism is a sick mentality, a twisted creed, and an aberrant practice that emerged and expanded in environments rife with ignorance, backwards thinking, and the stealing of people’s rights and demeaning them,”

The President noted that colonialism was the one that set up those negative elements and nurtured them, adding “how could those who spread the seeds of terrorism combat it?” Those who want to combat terrorism should do it through rational policies based on justice and the respect of peoples’ will and right to determine their future, manage their affairs, and restoring their rights on the basis of spreading knowledge, combating ignorance, improving economy, and raising awareness in the society as well as developing it.”

He said that war should be the last resort, and even when it’s inevitable it should never replace policies and procedures for isolating the elements that produce and nurture terrorism in order to uproot it completely rather than “clip its nails” as they doing now, adding “their short-sightedness made them believe that they will be immune to the fallout of terrorism that is spreading from one place to another in our tumultuous Arab world, whose flames have burned entire countries in an already unstable Middle East. It did not occur to them that it will strike at the heart of the European continent.”
 
President al-Assad went on to say “This does not mean that have learned their lesson; as they still deal with this phenomenon in a hypocritical manner; they call it terrorism when it hits them, and call it revolution, freedom, democracy, and human rights when it hits us. There, its perpetrators are terrorists, and here, they are rebels and moderate opposition. They scream at the top of their voices whenever they are touched by a spark of fire while they fall deathly silent when we are burned by it.”

The President pointed out that that the latest changes on the international arena are genuine, as a new understanding of the situation in Syria has set in, and there is a better understanding of the lies and false allegations related to the situation, adding that positive changes in the West are unstable and not sustainable given that they stem from concerns over the spread of terrorism that has reached their doorstep, and the likelihood that the Middle East, which is Europe’s backyard, might turn into a hotbed of terrorism............

Ron Paul ....true patriotic American

Great speech by Ron Paul during his 2008 presidential bid. Too bad the powers-that-be in the USA saw to it that he did not get the kind of exposure the traitorous MSM afforded to the other candidates. The "royal family" of the USA is the Federal Reserve and to know who or what is behind the inception of that concept is to let yourself delve into the bottomless pit of  the most complicated labyrinth-like secret society ever known to man. IMO, those who control the Federal Reserve make or break presidential candidates in the USA.  Now, the same evil forces are hard at work to get either Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush become the next president.  
Also, remember this:  No matter who becomes the next president of the USA, Obama will be back either in 2020 or 2024 either as prez of an entire nation or as prez of a broken up nation representing the Black America portion of it.  

I took an "upper" of Nigel Farage and am now feeling less depressed

Thank you Mr Farage.

Diane Feinstein's speech on the CIA torture report

Revenge is sweet!  This is Obama team's very effective way of getting back at their opponents, the Republicans. 

Hollywood has placed the CIA and associated spies and killers on a pedestal by the constant shows about their bravery and shit.  If not the CIA shows on the idiot box, then it's shows about either boobs or butts. Just brainwashing stuff all around for American consumption.

Listen closely to the part where she tells about how people involved in the torture started their own company (Torture Inc? LOL) and the suspects were handed over to that company to do with whatever they liked .... all to the tune of millions of $$$$$$$$s.
I so want to know more about these ghouls. Bet Cheney was involved in the setup. What are the chances that others too from that administration, like Condi Rice, are also involved? Good, eh?

It's all about money, folks ... all about money.  War makes money for those in the know and makes simple folks like us bury our loved ones and if we are "lucky" those love ones are buried in one piece and not scattered all over the Middle East landscape.

How extremely stupid of students at Rutgers to let go of the opportunity ....

to be able to question one of the gang members of the Bush war machine if she sleeps well at night for destroying a country like Iraq and killing more than a million of its citizens, a country that had no link to the 9/11 murderers. Why give up the opportunity to grill her why Saudi Arabia was shielded by the Bush administration when almost all the 9/11 murderers were Saudi citizens and holding Saudi passports?  

I fail to understand why students hold these protests to prevent speakers from saying their say.  They should in fact encourage such events but insist that the administration slot in a "question and answer period" and designate a few students from within the protesting group with a list of questions to put to the warmongers. When the warmongers coming to the universities to spout their lies and lay their hands on those fat checks, realize that the students will be putting them in the hot seat they skillfully usually avoid .... watch how they will make themselves disappear.

From AP:
....Condoleezza Rice Backs out of Rutgers Commencement.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has backed out of delivering the commencement address at Rutgers University following protests by some faculty and students over her role in the Iraq War.

Rice said in a statement Saturday that she informed Rutgers President Robert Barchi that she was declining the invitation to speak at the graduation.

"Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families," Rice said. "Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."

The school's board of governors had voted to pay $35,000 to the former secretary of state under President George W. Bush and national security adviser for her appearance at the May 18 ceremony. Rutgers was also planning to bestow Rice with an honorary doctorate.

But some students and faculty at New Jersey's flagship university had protested, staging sit-ins and saying Rice bore some responsibility for the Iraq War as a member of the Bush administration. Barchi and other school leaders had resisted the calls to disinvite Rice, saying the university welcomes open discourse on controversial topics.

The news of Rice's decision came a day after Barchi spoke with students protesting Rice's planned speech and told them the board of governors would not rescind its invitation...........

Historic speech given to the Knesset by Canadian PM Harper

This one will go down in history ... word for word.  

From David Akin's blog:
The following is a text of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s speech to the Knesset, delivered at approximately 6:30 pm Jerusalem time on Monday January 20, 2014. The following has been adapted from a prepared text distributed to reporters ahead of the speech. The actual speech, as a result, may differ slightly from you see here.
Moreover, I have removed French-language sections of the speech that largely repeated adjacent English-language sections. Any formatting or grammar error are also likely mine introduced in the editing process..........

Shalom.And thank you for inviting me to visit this remarkable country, and especially for this opportunity to address the Knesset.It is truly a great honour.........

The Islamization of America is stealthier in the States than in Europe

Stealth islamization of Canada is also in progress.  Look around you without those blinders you have glued unto your eyes.  In my opinion, "Stealth" is synonymous with "Mohammad" and "Islam".

Pamela Geller writing at Breitbart has given umpteen number of links to everything she states within the long article.  The article is a must-read and the vid below is truly worth listening to.  

....Since I wrote my book Stop the Islamization of America   and established the Stop Islamization of America initiative of my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), we have seen increasing accommodation and submission to Islam in the United States. This past year was a particularly good year for Islamic supremacists, who are working furiously in this country to impose Sharia (Islamic law) -- and in particular, the blasphemy laws under the Sharia.
The Islamic supremacist approach is stealthier here in the States than it is in Europe, where we see no-go zones, mass car burnings, etc., because Europe currently has a much bigger Muslim population than the U.S. does. More on Muslim immigration here.



That kind of aggression is in our future, for nothing is being done to prevent its coming here. The few of us who dare to speak against Sharia and jihad are blacklisted from the mainstream media’s major newspaper and broadcast outlets. Trimmers (those who soften the message about Islam or speak of “Islamism,” an artificial word making a distinction without a difference) and Islamic apologists are dusted off and trotted out to make some inane comment whenever the mainstream media cannot avoid covering a jihad news story (such as the Boston Marathon jihad bombing). But the effective true voices against Islamization, such as myself, Robert Spencer, Wafa Sultan, and Ibn Warraq are rarely seen these days.
It’s never been as bad as it is now, and we have never been proven so right as we were in 2013. In the U.S., in a survey released at the end of 2012, almost half of the Muslims in America said that they thought parodies of Muhammad should be subject to criminal prosecution. One in eight thought that insulting Islam should be a death penalty offense. Forty percent said that they shouldn’t have to obey U.S. laws, but should be subject only to Islamic law.
These findings should have come as no surprise; they weren’t much different from those of a May 2013 survey of Muslims worldwide. The survey showed that the harshest Sharia punishments enjoy broad support among Muslims the world over: “72% of Indonesian Muslims, 84% of Pakistani Muslims, 82% of Bengladeshi Muslims, 74% of Egyptian Muslims, and 71% of Nigerian Muslims supported making Sharia the official state law of their respective societies.” 85% of Muslims in Pakistan, 81% in Afghanistan, and 70% in Egypt supported the most brutal aspects of Sharia, such as amputating the hands of thieves. 86% of Muslims in Pakistan, 84% in Afghanistan, and 80% in Egypt supported stoning for adultery. 75% in Pakistan, 79% in Afghanistan, and 88% in Egypt favored executing those who leave Islam. “91% of Iraqi Muslims and 99% of Afghan Muslims supported making Sharia the official state law of their respective societies.”...........

Cartoon: Time for another speech

Our majority Conservative Government is finding it's feet ............

and standing firm.  Let's hope  the Harper govt. will keep taking further positive steps to uphold what is good and just in a world gone bonkers, and make us all proud. (Emphasis mine.)

Prime Minister Stephen Harper praised a G8 resolution to avoid a reference that has infuriated Israelon the Middle East peace process Friday that, according to a media report, was watered down at his request.

The stir at the summit over Harper's role arose as the G8 leaders emerged with a $40-billion U.S. plan to help Egypt and Tunisia transform from dictatorships to democracies.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy said $20 billion would come from multilateral institutions, such as the African Development Bank, $10 billion from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait, and $10 billion in direct bilateral aid from G8 countries — including $1 billion from France.

But Canada refused to commit to any country-to-country aid, saying it has given sufficient funding since 2009 to multilateral institutions tasked to help the region.

Reuters cited diplomatic sources saying that Harper insisted there be no reference to Israel's borders before 1967, when it seized the West Bank and Gaza from Jordan and Egypt, respectively, during the Six Day War.

U.S. President Barack Obama's recent call for negotiations with the Palestinians to be based on those prewar lines has infuriated Israel, even though the U.S. position is that negotiations will then include "land swaps."

"The Canadians were really very adamant, even though Obama expressly referred to 1967 borders in his speech last week," a European diplomat told the news agency.

Harper — seen internationally as one of Israel's most fervent supporters — neither confirmed nor denied the report when asked twice about it by Canadian reporters.

"We are pleased that the statement that came out of the G8 was a balanced statement," Harper said.

The right-wing bloggers down south are singing Harper's praises and I am sure the news media will also talk about the stand Canada has taken.  And, let's not forgot the great speech he gave last year showing that Canada will stand with Israel, come what may.  It feels good to have a majority Conservative govt.  Now if only Jason Kenney would stop moslem immigration to Canada, I would whine a lot less.

Israel's PM .... precise, pristine, patriotic

Great speech. You should read the whole thing. Netanyahu got so many standing ovations, I lost count after the 20th.

I am deeply honored by your warm welcome. And I am deeply honored that you have given me the opportunity to address Congress a second time.

Mr. Vice President, do you remember the time we were the new kids in town?

And I do see a lot of old friends here. And I do see a lot of new friends of Israel here. Democrats and Republicans alike.

Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance!

In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.

My friends, you don’t need to do nation building in Israel. We’re already built. You don’t need to export democracy to Israel. We’ve already got it. You don’t need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves. You’ve been very generous in giving us tools to do the job of defending Israel on our own. Thank you all, and thank you President Obama, for your steadfast commitment to Israel’s security. I know economic times are tough. I deeply appreciate this.

Support for Israel’s security is a wise investment in our common future. For an epic battle is now unfolding in the Middle East, between tyranny and freedom. A great convulsion is shaking the earth from the Khyber Pass to the Straits of Gibraltar. The tremors have shattered states and toppled governments. And we can all see that the ground is still shifting. Now this historic moment holds the promise of a new dawn of freedom and opportunity. Millions of young people are determined to change their future. We all look at them. They muster courage. They risk their lives. They demand dignity. They desire liberty.......

Israel's friends respond to Prez Obama's speech

I hope the American Jews and especially the Hollywood crowd  that's full of Jews are happy with Obama now.  Are they reaching for their cheque books to make their million $ donations or are they shocked at what the Oscar winning actor of a Prez had to say yesterday?  Given how muddled the drugged out population of California has become, I tend to think the cheque books won't be closed on their hero in the WH. They will still make their excuses for the worst president ever. 

I was waiting to catch something from Sarah Palin as I am sure she would have a lot to say about this issue but as yet, nothing.  Guess she is still busy re. her son's wedding.

PM Harper's speech to the UN .... at least a small part of it

I found some part of the speech at CTV ... wait a second or two after the first couple of minutes to access the first part of the speech.  If at all I need to watch something, I switch to CTV but never to CBC.  CTV is lesser of the two evils by a long stretch.

Did anybody see what the Vancouver SUN had at their online site?  I will not even link to them.  Suffice to say, that they are totally bent to the Left and gave more time to Jack Layton then to the PM's address.  Why was that needed  ???????    Shame on Global TV and shame on Vancouver SUN.  Is the Vancouver SUN a part of SUN TV... what's going on?????????    Is it any wonder that we need an unbiased TV channel that will not be slanted so much to the Left that they have almost toppled to the ground, shamelessly?

media release from PM's office    Prime Minister Stephen Harper today participated in the 65th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York where he reiterated Canada’s commitment to the Organization’s founding principles and highlighted Canada’s ongoing efforts to help achieve these goals on the world stage.

In his address, the Prime Minister noted the founding principles of the United Nations to settle disputes peacefully, seek justice and uphold the rights of all people. He also highlighted a range of Canada’s international actions and commitments that reflect the United Nations Charter, including our participation in the United Nations-mandated, NATO-led mission in Afghanistan; our reconstruction efforts in Haiti; our contributions to peace and security in Africa; our doubling of aid to Africa; our Muskoka Initiative for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health; and our continuing support of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

The Prime Minister noted that “while the UN’s mission has grown over time its core job remains the same – through peace and development to build a better world. To prevent war and conflict, yet at the same time, to uphold what is right, and to protect the weak and the poor from those who prey upon them. The Government of Canada has always been deeply committed to these objectives and the organization that elevates them. It remains so today.”.............
