Re: Libyan Attack Sends Obama’s Odds Through the Roof

That's because of the way that the mainstream media has portrayed the story.

Fake gold bars turn up in Manhattan Muslim Merchant

Uh-oh.

This might be more portentous than it seems…

Fake gold bars turn up in Manhattan - New York News | NYC Breaking News

MYFOXNY.COM -

In jewelry stores on 47th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, the important trust between merchants has been violated. A 10-ounce gold bar costing nearly $18,000 turned out to be a counterfeit.

The bar was filled with tungsten, which weighs nearly the same as gold but costs just over a dollar an ounce.

Ibrahim Fadl bought the bar from a merchant who has sold him real gold before. But he heard counterfeit gold bars were going around, so he drilled into several of his gold bars worth $100,000 and saw gray tungsten -- not gold.

What makes it so devious is a real gold bar is purchased with the serial numbers and papers, then it is hollowed out, the gold is sold, the tungsten is put in, then the bar is closed up. That is a sophisticated operation.

MTB, the Swiss manufacturer of the gold bars, said customers should only buy from a reputable merchant. The problem, he admits, is Ibrahim Fadl is a very reputable merchant.

Raymond Nessim, CEO Manfra, Tordell & Brookes, said he has reported the situation to the FBI and Secret Service.

The Secret Service, which deals with counterfeits, said it is investigating.

In March, gold bars filled with tungsten showed up in England. With New York now hit, it may mean an international ring is involved.

Exporting Naked Protest

Femen Opens First Office Abroad

By Lorenz Eichhorn

Feminists from the Ukraine-based activist group Femen have opened their first training center abroad in Paris to teach like-minded protesters how to evade security forces. For the opening, the women ran half-naked through a predominantly Muslim neighborhood in the French capital.

The Ukranian women's group Femen, famous for its radical topless protests, opened its first foreign office with a bare-chested march through a predominantly Muslim neighborhood in Paris' 18th arrondissement on Tuesday. In the first foreign office, fellow feminists are supposed to learn how to evade security forces, according to the group's website.

Inna Shevchenko was present among the activist women. She fled to France over the summer after she showed support for the Russian Punk band Pussy Riot by taking a chainsaw to a large wooden crucifix in Kiev. On the streets of Paris, Shevchenko said that the feminists wanted to "go to war against patriarchy and dictatorship."

"We're opening the first international training center for feminists … who want to transform themselves into soldiers," Shevchenko added. Other centers are planned for Montreal, New York and Sao Paulo.

All-out Middle East war as good as it gets

All-out Middle East war as good as it gets
By Spengler

TEL AVIV - It is hard to remember a moment when the United States' foreign policy establishment showed as much unanimity as in its horror at the prospect of a unilateral Israeli strike on Iran.

In a September 10 report for Georgetown University's Center for Strategic and International Studies, Anthony Cordesman warns, "A strike by Israel on Iran will give rise to regional instability and conflict as well as terrorism. The regional security consequences will be catastrophic."

And a "bi-partisan" experts' group headed by former National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft and co-signed by most of the usual suspects states, "Serious costs to US interests would also be felt over the longer term, we believe, with problematic consequences for global and regional stability, including

economic stability. A dynamic of escalation, action, and counteraction could produce serious unintended consequences that would significantly increase all of these costs and lead, potentially, to all-out regional war."

If a contrarian thought might be permitted, consider the possibility that all-out regional war is the optimal outcome for American interests. An Israeli strike on Iran that achieved even limited success - a two-year delay in Iran's nuclear weapons development - would arrest America's precipitous decline as a superpower.

Absent an Israeli strike, America faces:

· A nuclear-armed Iran;

· Iraq's continued drift towards alliance with Iran;

· An overtly hostile regime in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood government will lean on jihadist elements to divert attention from the country's economic collapse;

· An Egyptian war with Libya for oil and with Sudan for water;

· A radical Sunni regime controlling most of Syria, facing off an Iran-allied Alawistan ensconced in the coastal mountains;

· A de facto or de jure Muslim Brotherhood takeover of the Kingdom of Jordan;

· A campaign of subversion against the Saudi monarchy by Iran through Shi'ites in Eastern Province and by the Muslim Brotherhood internally;

· A weakened and perhaps imploding Turkey struggling with its Kurdish population and the emergence of Syrian Kurds as a wild card;

· A Taliban-dominated Afghanistan; and

· Radicalized Islamic regimes in Libya and Tunisia.

Saudi Arabia is the biggest loser in the emerging Middle East configuration, and Russia is the biggest winner. Europe and Japan have concluded that America has abandoned its long-standing commitment to the security of energy supplies in the Persian Gulf by throwing the Saudi monarchy under the bus, and have quietly shifted their energy planning towards Russia. Little of this line of thinking will appear in the news media, but the reorientation towards Moscow is underway nonetheless.

From Israel's vantage point, the way things are now headed is the worst-case scenario. The economic sanctions are a nuisance for Iran, but not a serious hindrance to its nuclear ambitions. When US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman General Martin Dempsey intoned on August 30 that he "did not want to be complicit" in an Israeli strike on Iran, he was stating publicly what the Pentagon has signaled to Tehran for the past six months. The US wants no part of an Israeli strike.

This remonstrance from the Pentagon, along with the State Department's refusal to identify a "red line" past which Iran would provoke American military action, amounts to a green light for Iran to build an atomic bomb, Israeli analysts believe.

What if Israel were to strike Iran? From a technical standpoint, there is no question that Israel could severely damage the Iranian nuclear program. As the respected German military analyst Hans Ruhl wrote earlier this year: There are 25 to 30 installations in Iran that are exclusively or predominately dedicated to the nuclear program. Six of them are targets of the first rank: the uranium enrichment facility at Natanz, the conversion works in Isfahan, the heavy water reactor in Arak, the weapons and munitions production facility in Parchin, the uranium enrichment facility in Fordow, and the Bushehr light water reactor.

The information about Natanzare is solid. The project has been under satellite surveillance from the beginning and been watched by Israeli "tourists". At the moment there are a good 10,000 centrifuges installed, of which 6,500 are producing. Israel's strongest "bunker buster" is the GBU-28 (weight 2.3 tons), which demonstrably can break through seven meters of reinforced concrete and 30 meters of earth. It would suffice to break through the roof at Natanz. In case of doubt, two GBU-28s could be used in sequence; the second bomb would deepen the first bomb's crater and realize the required success.

The trick is to put a second bunker-buster directly into the crater left by a previous one. According to Cordesman, the probability of a direct hit with existing smart-bomb technology is 50%. Half a dozen bombs should do for each of the six key sites - assuming that the Israelis don't have something more creative in the works. Israel has had 10 years to plan the operation, and it is a fair assumption that the Israeli Air Force can accomplish the mission.
The deeper question is: what constitutes success?

"When Israel bombed [Iraq's] Osiris [nuclear reactor in 1981]," said an Israeli who took part in the planning, "we expected a three-year setback of Iraq's nuclear program. It was delayed by 10 years. But that wasn't the most important thing. What was most important to us is the ripple effect through the region."

The ripple effects are what America's foreign policy establishment fears the most. The vision shared by the George W Bush and Barack Obama administrations, albeit with some variation, of a Middle East dotted with democratic regimes friendly to the United States would pop like a soap-bubble. What ripples would ensue from a successful Israeli strike on Iran?

Iran probably would attempt to block the Straits of Hormuz, the gateway for a fifth of the world's oil supply, and America would respond by destroying Iranian conventional military capabilities and infrastructure from the air. This would add to Tehran's humiliation, and strengthen the domestic opposition.

Iran's influence in Iraq and Syria would diminish, although Iran's supporters in both countries probably would spill a great deal of blood in the short run.

Hizbollah almost certainly would unleash its missile arsenal at Israel, inflicting a few hundred casualties by Israeli estimates. Israel would invade southern Lebanon and - unlike the 2006 war - fight without fear of Syrian intervention. In 2006, the Olmert government restricted the movements of the IDF out of fear that the Syrian Army would intervene. Syria's army is in no position to intervene today.

There is a possibility, to be sure, that Syria would launch chemical and biological warheads against Israel, but if the Assad government employed weapons of mass destruction, Israel would respond with a nuclear bombardment. In this case deterrence is likely to be effective. Iran's influence in Lebanon would be drastically diminished.

Stripped of support from its Iranian sponsor, the Alawite regime would fall, and Syria would become a Saudi-Turkish condominium. Ethnic butchery would go on for some time.

Egypt would be cut off from financial support from the Gulf States as punishment for its opening to Iran. The domestic consequences for Egypt would be ugly. The country is almost out of money; some of its oil suppliers stopped deliveries last August, and Egypt's refineries lack funds to buy oil from the government.

Al-Ahram reported September 12 that Upper Egypt now suffers a 30% shortage of diesel fuel. The newspaper wrote,

Egyptians started feeling another diesel crisis at the end of last week, with amounts available shrinking and prompting lengthy queues at stations. A shortage of liquidity in the Ministry of Petroleum has delayed payments to refineries that provide the crude needed to produce diesel. "The Finance Ministry is late delivering the required funds to the Ministry of Petroleum," Hossam Arafat, head of the division of petroleum industries at Egypt's Chambers of Commerce, explained. The total daily supply of diesel on the Egyptian market has fallen to 33,000 tonnes from 40,000, press reports estimate.

Cairo well might become a radical Islamic state, a North Korea on the Nile, as I wrote in this space last month (see North Korea on the Nile Asia Times Online, August 29, 2012.) But the consequences of such a devolution would be limited. With Iran neutralized , Egypt would be less of a threat to Saudi Arabia. It might become a threat to Libya and Sudan. That is unfortunate, but what have Libya and Sudan done for us lately?

In the absence of an American leadership willing to assert American strategic interests in the region, Israel well might save the United States.

In the long view of things, there is not much cause for optimism about the Muslim world. It contains two kinds of countries: those that can't feed their children, like Egypt, and those that have stopped having children, like Iran, Turkey, Algeria and Tunisia. Muslim nations seem to pass directly from infancy to senescence without stopping at adulthood, from the pre-modern directly to the post-modern, as I wrote in my book Why Civilizations Die (and Why Islam is Dying, Too).

Turks have just 1.5 children per family, like the infecund Europeans, while Turkish Kurds have four or five children. That makes the redrawing of the map of Turkey inevitable sooner or later. In a generation, Iran will have an inverted population pyramid like the aging industrial countries, but without the wealth to support it.

There is no reason to expect most of the Muslim countries to go quietly into irreversible decline. All-out regional war is the likely outcome sooner or later. We might as well get on with it.

Spengler is channeled by David P Goldman. His book How Civilizations Die (and why Islam is Dying, Too) was published by Regnery Press in September 2011. A volume of his essays on culture, religion and economics, It's Not the End of the World - It's Just the End of You, also appeared last fall, from Van Praag Press.

Anyone want to go? Bruce Majors, Libertarian for Congress will speak and take questions.

Thank you for confirming your participation in the DC for Democracy 2012 General and Special Elections Forum next Monday, September 24. (If you haven't yet confirmed with us, we look forward to hearing from you soon.)
As you are aware, the forum will take place at the Southwest Public Library meeting room at 900 Wesley Pl, SW (appx. 3 blocks from Waterfront Metro, between K and I Streets, SW). The forum will begin promptly at 6:30 pm and we must depart the room by 8:30 pm. We must make the most efficient possible use of all 120 minutes and stay on schedule to make sure that we give the candidates for each office an opportunity to be heard. Your cooperation in following instructions will be appreciated.
Jerry Clark, Chair of DC for Democracy, will serve as moderator. For opening statements by each candidate, and for each question, he will indicate the amount of time for responses (which may vary by question), and the order in which candidates will respond. We will have a timekeeper, who will show a "warning" sign when time is almost up, and a "stop" sign when time is finally up. No extensions of time will be granted. There will be no closing statements. We hope to have sufficient microphones so that sharing of microphones will be minimal. Candidates are permitted to stand at the place they are otherwise seated for purposes of the opening statement, and may use a microphone or not as they wish. During the Q &A portion of the session, candidates are asked to remain seated and to use a microphone. We prefer a professional atmosphere for the forum and wish to discourage candidates from raising their voices unduly.
We do not expect there to be time for questions from the audience. We may have 3x5 cards available on which audience members may write questions. The moderator will have discretion whether to use audience questions and which ones to use.
The entire forum will be videographed and streamed for viewing later by DC for Democracy members. We will inform attendees how they may access the tapes should they wish to do so.
Here is the basic order of speakers on Monday night:

Shadow Representative candidates
Shadow Senator candidates
Delegate candidates
Ward 4 candidates
Ward 7 candidates
Ward 8 candidates
At Large candidates
Council Chair candidates

And thanks again for being part of DC for Democracy's 2012 Candidate Forum.

BLT Steak Gets Political with Burgers…Obama Burger Most Expensive

BLT Steak Gets Political with Burgers…Obama Burger Most Expensive

by Scotty Starnes

Everything linked to Obama seems to cost people more money.

From 9News:

BLT Steak, a stone's throw from the White House, is giving patrons a choice of hamburgers named after President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan.

Voting ends October 2, just over a month before polling day.

The Obama burger is the most expensive at $US28 ($A26.84) because "he's the president" and deserves the best, manager Adam Sanders, whose establishment counts the first family among its patrons, said on Tuesday.

Wonder if the person who eats the Obama burger passes the meal costs down to the next guy.

It combines eight ounces (225 grams) of American-produced Kobe style beef with a roasted pineapple, in what Sanders called a homage to Obama's Hawaiian roots.

I wonder why BLT didn't go with dog meat?

The Romney burger features a similar-sized patty with a "Utah style pastrami stack".

Utah is the home state of the Mormon faith, to which the former Massachusetts governor adheres.

No mention of Obama's Black Liberation Church that he attended with racist Rev. Wright giving sermons. Why wasn't this mentioned?

The burger also has Swiss cheese. It costs $US23 ($A22.05).

For Biden, the restaurant came up with a $US23 saucy Sloppy Joe, while the slightly pricier $US26 Ryan burger is topped by cheddar cheese from his native Wisconsin.

Sloppy Joe for Biden? I wonder if it's served with straws for retards like Biden.

Secret Service Refused to Let Wright State University Students Protest Biden During Visit

by Scotty Starnes

Part of that fundamental transformation Obama spoke of is to slowly erode our free speech rights.

From Beltway Confidential:

Secret Service officials refused to allow protesting students at Wright State University to assemble within one-quarter mile of Vice President Joe Biden during his visit last week.

"The Secret Service respects everyone's right to freedom of speech but we also have a duty to provide a safe and secure environment," Secret Service spokesman Max Millien told Campus Reform, which reported that students rallying against Biden and President Obama in support of Mitt Romney moved twice at the orders of the Secret Service until they reached a designated "free speech zone."

"After the students complied with the first request to move, they were again instructed to move – this time to the middle of a field, about a quarter mile away from the area where Biden planned to speak," Campus Reform explains.

Just wanted each of you to know when the Pres. Obummer asks us to tighten our belts, he doesn't mean him or that high speed money grabbing wife.
>>Enjoy,
>>>Don't skip this one !!!!
>>>>>Honestly, you just haven't lived 'til you've stayed in a private 3-story villa at a 5-Star luxury hotel, the Villa Padierna.
>>>>>It only cost $95,000, and I was able to hold the total bill under $500,000.for the week. What a bargain!
>>>>>Thank you also for the use of Air Force Two and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.
>>>>>Air Force Two (which costs $11,351 per hour to operate according to Government Accounting Office reports) only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2.
>>>>>That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.
>>>>>But hey, Baracks Air Force One costs about $200,000. per hour to operate and with his many trips, he spent almost half a billion dollars on flights alone last year. Yeah, thats with a B? $500,000,000.
>>>>>By the way, if you happen to be visiting the Costa del Sol, I highly recommend the Buenaventura Plaza restaurant in Marbella ; great lobster with rice and oysters!
>>>>>
>>>>>I'm ashamed to admit the lobsters we ate in Martha's Vineyard were not quite as tasty, but what can you do if you're not in Europe , you have to just grin and bear it.
>>>>>I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. So I do appreciate your sacrifices and do hope you find work soon.
>>>>>
>>>>>I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days.
>>>>>Cordially,
>>>>>Michelle Obama
>>>>>
>>>>>P.S. Thank you as well for the $2 BILLION dollar trip to Indiafrom which we just returned!
>>>>>P.SS. Thank you, too, for that vacation trip to Martha's Vineyard - It was fabulous! And thanks for that second smaller jet that took our dog Bo to Martha's Vineyard so we and the children could have him with us while we were away from the White House for eleven days.
>>>>>P.SSS. Oh, I almost forgot to say thanks also for our two-week trip to Hawaii at Christmas. That 7,000 square foot house was great!
>>>>>PSSSs We all had a fabulous time in Africa visiting Baracks homeland. What a wonderful place!
>>>>>PSSSss Now the girls and I are back in Africa with my mom.
>>>>>Don't forget my ski trip to Vail this winter.
>>>>>All this while Barack plays golf and campaigns to keep my trips coming for the next 4 years!
>>>>>Thanks America! But you owe it to me!
>>>>>Love ya! Remember, we all have to share the pain of these hard economic times equally! We love to redistribute and share the wealth.
>>>>>
>>>>>SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN NOW.
>>>>>WAKE UP, STAND UP and SPEAK UP.
>>>>>STOP THIS NONSENSE
