U.S. releases Britian's nuclear plans to Russia

In the height of all of the major news networks sidetracking themselves with the coverage of the chaos in Egypt and throughout the Middle East, virtually no body in the media, with the exception of Michael Savage, commented on the fact that this President has sold the United States out.

That's right. WikiLeaks released cables on Friday which specifically addressed President Obama handing over Britain's nuclear plans to Russia as part of signing the New START Treaty.

The act is beyond treasonous. One has to ask themselves exactly what is the motive behind our President and Federal Government stabbing Britain in the back? The only possible answer to this question has to be that this President simply is creating one agenda after another. He has no care whatsoever if this could pose as a danger to our allies and our safety and security as a nation.

The cables describe in great length intelligence sharing and American spying on foreign minister officials and gathering information about their personal and private lives, all because Russia wanted further information on Britain's Trident missiles, which are built by the United States.

One will argue that perhaps Britain has no problem with the United States sharing its information with Russia, because the three nations are willing to work together when it comes to each of the nation's nuclear programs. However on the other hand, if Britain and Russia are both allies of the United States, why wouldn't there be a joint compromise between all three countries, instead of President Obama secretly doing this, without asking the British Government in the first place?

Another side note is Russia's relationship with Iran, which also has a nuclear program. Is Russia going to choose to share this information with Iran?

Any normal person would be arrested for espionage. Nixon resigned over Watergate, Clinton was impeached for his relation with Monica Lewinsky, Bush... don't even get me started on him... now Obama stabbing our allies in the back... will anyone in Congress actually fulfill what is written in the Constitution and investigate this?

Probably not. Nobody in Congress has guts to provide oversight on this administration.

Protests in Middle East not a good thing?

There is heavy concern right now with relation to the continued protests in North Africa and the Middle East. As everyone is no doubt already aware, there has been political unrest in a growing list of countries including Tunisia, Algeria, Lebanon, Yemen and most recently inspiring riots against Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime in Egypt.

Thus far, the protests from these nations' people are meant to call for an end of the wrath of dictatorship from their leaders, and establish more solvent countries without the crisis of inflation, shortages, poverty and high unemployment.

Many economists did not expect Egypt to revolt against its own government. Well, that obviously was not the case. As of today, the riots in Egypt have become so bad, that members of the country's own police force decided to join the people and for the first time in history, an entire country shut down its internet access to try and isolate its people from the outside. Also today, President Mubarak agreed to fire his entire cabinet, but still refused to step aside.

President Obama has been cheering on the riots, but asking for a more civil and non-violent approach and also called for President Mubarak to engage in this more civil tone with Egypt's people, or the United States will cut off aid to the country.

Now the first argument to this of course is going to be that the United States should just mind its own business. Well, despite the fact that the people in these countries want new government and leadership, there is also something else which might determine that the escalating tension in the Middle East is not a good thing.

As WikiLeaks uncovered the secret cables concerning our beloved Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the knowledge she hid from the American people over Saudi Arabia's involvement in financing terrorism, they have also uncovered documentation of Ms. Clinton's pressure on Middle Eastern nations in particular to push for government reform. One of those nations was Egypt.

So now, the Middle East is in a position of reform, by the riots we've seen from their people. But what kind of reform is it leading to?

Egypt is one of the United States' most trusted allies in the Middle East and they're one of very few countries that has peace with Israel. If Egypt's government entirely collapses, which apparently it is as we speak, this means Sharia Law could be imposed, which is dominated by Muslims. Is it just a surprise that radical Muslims want to whip out Israel?

We should all see the common trend here and it looks rather frightening. Meanwhile, Lebanon's entire government has collapsed and they're trying to shove Hezbollah leaders down that country's throat, who by the way, also want to destroy Israel.

The protests that started in Yemen? They have not been entirely successful on riding al-Qaeda out of their country.

Iran? A clown like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is just waiting in the wings with his nuclear plans. He's already an ally of Hezbollah, and the destabilization in Egypt is the last 'piece of the puzzle' to finally get Israel off the face of the Earth.

Yet, we hear virtually nothing from our leaders in Washington about these common factors, nor the fact that right now we are on the brink of beginning to witness a full scale war in the Middle East.

Like everyone else that HAS seen this trend, I hope I'm wrong.

United Arab Emirates releases details on Hamas Assassination

The United Arab Emirates has decided to release information concerning the assassination of Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh which happened in Dubai, a year ago. The release of the documents, courtesy of WikiLeaks, says that the small Arabian country cited the primary reason for wanting to release the diplomatic documents is because by keeping it quiet, this would seem like they were "siding with Israel."

Reuters reports that U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson wrote in the memo saying "two options discussed were to say nothing at all or to reveal more or less the full extent of the UAE's investigations... saying nothing would have been perceived as protecting the Israelis..." 

UAE officials claim that the assassination was carried out by Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad. Israel however is denying any knowledge about this, nor of any proof of Mossad behind the assassination of al-Mabhouh, although they do acknowledge keeping a close watch on suspected Hamas leaders for trying to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip.

What is interesting about this particular document is that it paints another very clear and grim picture of another Middle Eastern country, harboring a deep resentment against Israel.  Usually we always hear about countries such as Syria or Iran wanting to whip Israel off the face of the planet, but this time it is the United Arab Emirates, apparently appalled that Israel is suspected of assassinating a leader of a group like Hamas.

Well, so what!

Israel is doing whatever it can to protect itself from radical terrorist groups, even if it means taking out its leaders.

Keep doing the right thing Israel.

Julian Assange: hero or villan?

Julian Assange, the mysterious founder of WikiLeaks has been granted bail for $315,000 by a British Court today. But, he'll be unable to go free on his own. He's required to wear an electronic bracelet, surrender his passport and report to police on a daily basis.

Assange has been developing major controversy, ever since his website managed to obtain hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. Department documents (known as cables), from the FBI and CIA. In November, WikiLeaks released many of these cable documents, including the United States relationship with Saudi Arabia and were given to major national newspapers, among them including the New York Times and were published.

And, new cables continue to be published.

The released cables, immediately triggered the search and arrest of Assange.

Since this all started coming down last month, Assange and WikiLeaks have been deemed both a hero and a villain by liberals and conservatives, and vice-versa. His arrest triggered protests from followers in Europe, and even resulted in hacking into MasterCard and Visa, after the credit card companies payment services, including people donating money to the WikiLeaks website.

But the major scrutiny that is going around is what people are thinking of Assange. Perhaps, oddly enough, his most prominent critic is Fox News Channel. While I'd typically classify myself as a viewer of Fox News, I've noticed somewhat of a flip flop at times on issues. This is the same news channel that a year before the Tea Parties had even begun, would not allow Congressman Ron Paul to offer his perspective on our country's problems when he was running for President.

After President Obama was elected, the Tea Parties began, yet this is the same thing that Ron Paul had been advocating the entire time for years... a revolution to take our country back.

But I digress, back to Assange.

My point is when it comes to that kind of flip flopping, I've heard on a number of occasions since early 2009 from Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity that Americans were getting fed up with their government and they were tired of being lied to. Indeed, we all are. Well, when Assange released papers that exposed some of those lies from our government (again, OUR government that we pay for), all you hear from the left and the right is that Assange should be prosecuted and this is an act of terrorism and a threat to our national security. So people on the news that we tend to listen to, rant about the same thing, yet when it finally exposes the facts and a leap towards the truth, we instead are supposed to call it an act of terrorism.

I'd go further and say that I completely agree that diplomatic relations between the U.S. and other countries, if indeed it means for the protection of our country, it should be confidential. But I'd also take another Fox News commentator's perspective, Andrew Napolitano, who said yesterday on The Glenn Beck Program that he felt "the thief that steals the document, is the one who commits the crime... the person who disseminates them, as long as they are truthful documents, does not commit the crime..." 

I actually agree with his notion. Now Glenn Beck did offer some good points, the fact that Assange has connections with far left liberal groups and individuals like George Soros. But the reasonable point he made was when it came to exposing the Global Warming lies, a liberal newspaper like the New York Times, refused to print those documents. Yet they all jumped on the story of WikiLeaks obtaining U.S. Diplomatic cables.

While those facts do bother me and it certainly shows the 'money trail' I think, it does not bother me enough to know that there are hidden secrets in our Government that the American people have wondered for years and were lied to. For that, I would say it was worth it.

Whatever the outcome may be with Julian Assange, he certainly has shown our Government's lack of honesty, and integrity. What else is new?

I don't think there really is a win or loose with this issue. It paints it all in black and white.

But one day, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not this week or next year, we'll finally know the truth to many things that have been going on in our Government. This is still supposed to be a Government by the People and for the People. Not the other way around, as has been depicted in those cables.

Worse than Watergate, Saudis financing Terrorism

What has to be worse than Watergate and the secrets uncovered during the Bush Administration over the War in Iraq, another released U.S. diplomatic cable from WikiLeaks indicates that Saudi Arabia is the world's largest financier of radical Islamic terrorism groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Incredible.

In one of the memos from December 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says that "more needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas which probably raises millions of dollars annually from Saudi sources... Saudi Arabia constitutes the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide..."

This is a country that is supposed to be the United States' ally in the Middle East. I'm curious as to how long Mrs. Clinton was going to fool the American people by going on propagating this charade of pretending to be friendly to Saudi Arabia, even though she had direct knowledge in these secret cables that the country was financing terrorism this entire time.

Here's just a side of advice for the Madam Secretary... resign!

The cable does indicate that Saudi Arabia has been attempting to block financing to terrorist networks in the Middle East, and also went to cite Arabia's bordering country, tiny little Qatar, another ally, as being the "worst in the region" concerning its counter-terrorism relationship with the United  States.

Perhaps Qatar, even though as small of a country as it is with the billions of dollars it has in resources as a kingdom, has the capabilities to deal with terrorist threats. But perhaps it is resistant to do so, because of Saudi Arabia's now leaked relationship in financing millions of dollars to these terrorist organizations that are committed to destroying Israel and the United States.

I'd suspect and would not be entirely surprised that the Middle Eastern region is nearly on the verge of breaking out into a massive war. Iraq is a disaster area, U.S. troops have been unsuccessful in their attempts to capture Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan, Iran has a nuclear program bent on whipping Israel off the face of the Earth and now Saudi Arabia one of few Middle East allies of the U.S. is financing terrorism throughout the entire region, while Secretary Clinton feels it was necessary to keep all of this completely secret from the American people.

It is just disgraceful.



 
 

Hugo Chavez is an "axis of mischief"

In the hundreds of thousands of classified State Department documents that WikiLeaks released earlier this week, one of those memos dating as far back as 2006, indicates that the United States views Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez as an "Axis of Mischief", instead of what former President Bush named on his "Axis of Evil" list.

This particular released memo (or cable) discusses Venezuela's close relationship with Iran, hatred against Israel, Cuba assisting Chavez in anti-US intelligence services and to eventually establish nuclear plans which Russia agreed to support earlier this year in supplying a nuclear reactor plant.

Yet in the last few years while President Bush called Chavez nothing more than a 'clown' and President Obama not giving much concern either, the United States has sat in denial mode about Venezuela's plans and the relationships it has developed with some of our not-to-friendly enemies.

I suppose if you're only paying little attention to this country's agenda, one could see the U.S. calling it as "simple mischief".

Really?

The leaked document went on to further say that Chavez actually relies heavily on Cuban intelligence, than his own country's intelligence force. You may recall how much hatred Cuba had against the United States in the 1960's during incidents like the Bay of Pigs invasion and the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'd suspect that hatred is still around today.

But perhaps the most intriguing of all is Venezuela's continued relationship with Iran. What is an almost sickening "me and you" moments are the pictures of Chavez and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hugging each other and getting comfortable with their friendship. Well, this friendship is apparently sending shock-waves among Venezuela's Jewish community, seeing Iran's resentment against Israel and now from Venezuela.

Chavez of course claims that his words against Israel are not anti-Semitic, after he broke relations in 2009.

Quite disturbing I have to say. But the U.S. is still barely expressing even a minor concern.

Does anyone remember Adolph Hitler's plan with Jewish communities in Nazi Germany?

U.S. documents leaked

On Sunday,  an online whistle blowing organization known as WikiLeaks, were able to get their hands on hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. State Department secret memos and documents which detailed relationships and diplomacy, particularly in the Middle East.

The details of some of these secret documents centered around countries such as Saudi Arabia,  apparently trying to pressure the U.S. to take action against Iran and its nuclear program; additionally, there was also major concern to get the U.S. to move on problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan, centering around al-Qaeda; as well as growing discontent in North Korea. WikiLeaks went on to say that they were quite surprised by the level of espionage that the U.S. is engaging in, after analyzing the documents in full.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton indicated in a press conference this afternoon, that the U.S. would take 'aggressive steps' in finding those responsible for leaking the documents.

To be quite frank, I'm actually glad that Wikileaks released the documents which they claim more than half were unclassified anyway. Whether or not they actually where does not really concern me, but rather the U.S. Government continued ability to remain secretive about issues when it comes to foreign policy. Americans are already angry and fed up with things they're not supposed to know anything about,  so Americans knowing some of these so called 'classified' memos would be more comforting, rather than finding out later on that these things were kept behind closed doors and kept away from the American people which would make everyone, probably twice as angry.

Do we need to re-analyze the Bush Administration's policies that were kept from the American people?

The release of these documents are an embarrassment to the Obama Administration, and rightfully so. This President campaigned on the objective that he would provide more openness and transparency in Government and set up a stronger dialogue with the American people. 

I think a majority of Americans now realize that was obviously a false pretense, and he can add this to his list that has exposed him as nothing more than a pathological liar.
