"In A World Of Lies, There Is An Empire Of Truth"

Peace Sells, But Who’s Buying?

Posted on October 26, 2016 by W.Whitten

This is the most important election of my lifetime. After nearly 2 decades of transformation, the America I grew up in, and learned about in school, has nearly vanished. It started after 9/11 with the creation of The Patriot Act, a massive intrusion into our privacy and violation of the 4th Amendment ( Unlawful search and seizure ), continued with a failed and flawed strategy of Middle East war, and then really picked up steam with the election of King Barry. The Boy King rose to power with promises of “Hope and Change”, yet once in office he doubled and tripled down on Dubya’s progressivism……. ramming through every dream policy of the Globalist Elite. More feckless and unproductive war, more Government intrusion, and most importantly, MORE CONTROL.

I’m old enough to remember when Uncle Sam wasn’t the creepy Uncle nobody wanted at Thanksgiving dinner. Media, Hollywood, and Government have colluded to divide us into Tribes, and it’s definitely taking its toll. Funny…..I was taught to judge people by what they do and how they act, not by what does or doesn’t dangle between their legs or how much melanin they have in their skin. It makes me wonder if Martin Luther King would weep at the absolute destruction of the future he spoke of in his “I Have a Dream” speech. I guess he’s spinning, along with the Founders, in his grave like a rotisserie chicken in hyperdrive.

In choosing between policy platforms in this election, the choice is clear. Trump represents a return to Americanism, more-than-competitive tax rates, school choice, border security, energy independence, fiscal responsibility, and opportunity based on individual merit regardless of economics, ethnicity, and education.

Hillary represents at least 4 more years of the disastrous course Obama has set us on…..at best. She hasn’t even attempted to lay out an agenda…….just ask her supporters and they give inane, ignorant answers like, “She’s for women”, or “it’s her turn”. Most have fallen victim to the massive media campaign against Trump and buy into the “he’s a racist”, or “he hates homosexuals” pablum……yet when I, or anyone else, asks for examples of this supposed hate, they have nothing to say because there isn’t anything. Or worse, they quote lies that have been exposed through leaked emails and campaign communications.

So what if Hillary has been outed as telling the American people one thing, and her Wall Street donors another? So what if she fearmongers LGBT and feminist groups about Trump while she has taken millions from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other nations that execute homosexuals and require women to only be in public with a male guardian? So what her husband met with the Attorney General and her Under-Secretary bribed FBI officials during the investigation into her criminality, resulting in non-indictment? So what her campaign and PACs are ON VIDEO planning and executing violence and fake protests at her opposition rallies? So what she claims to be an advocate for African Americans while supporting and funneling money into groups like Planned Parenthood, who are responsible for the fetal genocide of millions upon millions of mostly African American babies? So what her campaign chief, John Podesta, has been exposed as being in bed with Putin and his oil stocks, yet they and the media act as if Trump is?

Trump is crass and a narcissist, and as a private citizen made some lewd comments. His words and deeds as a private citizen mean absolutely nothing compared with the words and deeds of a Senator and then Secretary of State while speaking and acting on the behalf of The United States. Why are so many so ignorant of the difference? Donald Trump’s fingerprints are NOT ON A SINGLE LAW OR POLICY that has had any effect on our lives, yet Hillary has taken pay-for-play dollars from hostile nations and corporations while representing The United States, and has used every position she has ever held to enrich herself and deceive the public.

America’s positions and lead-from-behind policies under President Obama and “The Butcher of Benghazi” Hillary Clinton have led to a world in chaos. Virtually everything either has touched has turned into a steaming pile of dung. Healthcare? Check. Military? Check. Unemployment? Check. Immigration? Check. Terrorism? Check. Tribalism and racial division? Big fat check.

Mikhail Gorbachev, former premier of the U.S.S.R., now says that the U.S. and Russia are closer to war than ever before, all while Clinton and Kaine bizarrely made several references to nuclear war in their respective debates. There are millions obsessed with rumor and innuendo of a private citizen’s escapades while Russia has moved at least 50 nuclear tipped missiles to the border of Poland, recalled its foreign personel, and had a nation-wide nuclear drill. Who cares that we are illegally involved in Syria’s ( a sovereign nation that has called for assistance from its ally, Russia ) civil war, and that it has brought us to the very brink of war? Even nutty Green Party candidate Jill Stein is warning that Hillary would start another world war………..yet many are obsessed with the never-ending hit and run Trump accusers, whose timing is awfully convenient, and for whom the media doesn’t investigate or retract when shown to be false.

We may not be able to stave off the coming storm, but we should not choose the candidate, Hillary Clinton, who is seeding the clouds and cheering the thunder.

Land of Confusion

Posted on September 16, 2016 by W.Whitten

What is the Establishment’s, Democrat and Republican both, obsession with Russia? I really don’t understand the dangerous game of interventionism and proxy war that our Uniparty has been playing. Since Reagan outspent the Soviets into extinction at the end of the eighties, what reason do we have for continuing to poke The Russian Bear? Most people probably don’t realize that the war Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama started in Syria is yet another surrogate confrontation with Putin’s Russia.

I can’t fathom why the United States has any business attempting to topple Bashir Assad in Syria. Most liberals support Obama and Hillary…. yet don’t even make a connection between what is happening in Syria and the administration’s failed “red line” policies and actions. Do they know we armed the “rebels” fighting in Syria, only to have them become ISIS fighters armed with U.S. weapons and training? I thought libs hated war and foreign intervention, yet when their guys do it they seem to have no problem with it. Obama took Dubya’s disaster in the middle east and turned it into an even bigger nightmare, all while Hillary Clinton was his Secretary of State. Where are the charges of “warmonger”? Where are the cries of “no blood for oil”?

In fact, Social Justice and Climate Change Warriors, where are your immature and University nurtured rants? My guess is that they are so ignorant they don’t realize that every cry for an end to domestic oil and gas production is a cry for more foreign intervention, more environmental destruction ( Saudi Arabia doesn’t give a damn about the environment or “climate change” ), and more war. Oil is the lifeblood of modern living and society, and as long as we insist on foreign transfusions of this vital fluid in the name of “clean energy”, we will be involved with, and dependent on, some of the biggest scumbags on the planet.

Do Hillary and her supporters think we can win a conflict with Russia? I don’t. We have turned our military into an unserious social experiment, replete with transgendered soldiers, taxpayer funded sex changes, female combatants, and ridiculous people like the current Secretary of the Navy…..who just named some of our new warships after Harvey Milk, Gabby Giffords, and Caesar Chavez.

Our corrupt leaders want to demonize Putin, right or wrong, yet we owe Xi Jinping’s China trillions and say nothing about the many abuses they foist upon their people. No one in our government seems to care about China’s expansion of it’s military footprint by building islands out of nothing in the South China Sea, around which it now claims ownership of previously free-trade international waters. How do you think South Korea and a defenseless Japan feel about that? Does anyone think that we would actually honor our commitment to defend Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea? We still stomp around the world stage like the big kid on the playground…..but we’ve already blinked when facing the bullies and willingly given them our lunch money.

Hillary Clinton says Putin is “like Hitler” and “doesn’t have a soul”, while John McCain says Putin is “a thug and butcher” and his secret lover Lindsey Graham echoes him with, “He’s a thug and a dictator”. Doesn’t seem to be much disagreement among the Uniparty in ratcheting up tension between us and Russia, does there?

Let’s hope that if Bobblehead Hillary gets the White House that she doesn’t stroke out and get us into a war that no one will be the winner of…….because frankly I’m tired of sacrificing the youth of America into the gristmill of neverending war. It’s time to get our own house in order, and stop creating boogeymen as an excuse for the enrichment and entertainment of our Political Class……the stakes are too high and the cost too much.

War Is The Answer

Posted on November 7, 2015 by W.Whitten

In the past days I have been seriously thinking about which direction to go in the pursuit of my next column. The problem is, there are so many horrible things going on at once that it is difficult to pick just one or two to address. Should I talk to you about the sham that is the selection process for our next president? How about the collusion of both parties to continue abusing and soiling our Senate and so-called House of Representatives? Or maybe about the huge racial and cultural divide currently splitting the legal population? Oh, or better yet, the absolute abject failure of our co-opted “Press” in giving any unbiased, no-agenda, reporting on any of the issues I just mentioned, or anything else for that matter?

Then it came to me. War is the answer. If you logically go through every single major issue facing the United States…….and what the hell let’s throw in the rest of the globe…..the answer to any question is war. Not just in the middle east, not just on your t.v., but on scale on par with nothing we have seen before. Don’t get me wrong, this is the absolute last thing I would want to happen, and it would be awful in more ways than I can imagine. The big problem is that as soon as you look outside these porous borders of ours, every issue and argument seems to be leading to an unfortunate yet inevitable conclusion. Let’s pick a few points and follow the bouncing betty.

Over the past 7 years the United States has either ignored or abandoned every commitment made to our strategic allies all over the world. Whether I agree with what those commitments were and if they were wise decisions matters not, as it sets a very dangerous example. We have failed to honor our commitments to defend free satellite states of the Old Soviet Empire, as Putin gobbles up former chunks of the once dead USSR. We have reduced our military in number and technical development. What once was a formidable fighting force is now a social experiment for transgendered, homosexual, and female soldiers. Our Navy has been reduced by half, with more cuts in the pipeline. In fact, our Prez now demands any increase in military spending be matched with more welfare and entitlement dollars. We have drawn “red lines” all over the middle east, each nothing more than an empty political tool for domestic gain with no thought to the lives that teeter on such proclamations. In my opinion, the U.S. has no business interfering in other nations affairs……but when the Chief Executive makes a threat, it should not be as empty as the suit he wears.

We have built ISIS. Do you hear that leftist weirdos? To those that claimed we created Al Qaeda during the Bush years and yakked on and on about Haliburton, etc., etc.. Well here’s your new crusade ready made for you. By leaving Iraq ( and we can discuss whether we should have ever been there or not later ) with an announced timeline and regardless of the state of affairs, we opened the door to islamists to run wild. In fact, once again in my opinion, we systematically used the “arab spring” to topple leaders like Mubarak in Egypt and Qadhafi in Libya, and have been trying to do the same to Syria’s Assad. Have you asked yourself why? After seeing the obvious mistake of removing Saddam as a barrier to Iran and a hammer to the islamists, why would we continue to follow the same disastrous course all over the middle east? It’s pretty clear that the 7th century headchoppers populating that part of the world were scared to death of the brutal dictators that held an iron grip on them. Well guess what? We traded a handful of distasteful, power mad, dictators for thousands of them that cannot be reasoned with or diplomatically handled.

We have slapped our ally Israel in the face at every turn. Calm down, Jew-haters, I know there is a bunch of people who think that the “Eveeel Jooooooose” are responsible for all the world’s ills, but if you’re one of these folks you need to read a book or two and realize what kind of company you’re in ( and it ain’t good ). Israel is the only democratic nation in the region, and our on-paper ally, yet we have acted as much as their enemy as anyone else……..denying fly over access to their jets for a preemptive Iran strike, denying ammunition and arms, and refusing to honor our promises of joint defense. And speaking of Iran……hey America! do you realize who our new best buddy is? It’s Iran! You know……the folks who have been killing and maiming American soldiers all over the world for decades! The folks who chant “death to America” and mean it…….you know, the freakin’ bad guys! Now we are giving them a nuke! Not only that but in the super-secret agreement our Caesar made for us behind closed doors, we actually have an obligation to defend their so-called “peaceful” nuclear enrichment sites. Does that sound like a path to peace to you?

As a result of all of this U.S. foreign policy failure, Europe is being flooded with muslim “refugees”. As an example, there is a small town in Germany with a population of 120 that is bracing for an influx of over 700 non-german speaking “refugees” that just so happen to be 70+ percent male.** The U.K., France, Germany, and Italy are all on the receiving end of huge masses of peaceful Islamists who can’t speak the language, are dependent on social welfare/services, and are brimming with the desire to implement Sharia law on the communities they are infesting. Shoot, Obama is shipping thousands of them here for good measure, which sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it? Now in addition to hordes of illiterates from south of the border, we can throw in some terrorists too!

America is in huge debt, or as Trump would say…Yuge Debt. Our 8 trillion dollar debt at the start of our Dear Leader’s tenure has been more than doubled to over 18 trillion *. We can never repay this debt, even as with unfunded liabilities every single person in America currently owes over a quarter of a million dollars…..even your little kids and babies. Are you good for that? See why the democrats’ promises of free college and free this or that are absolutely ridiculous at best and terrifyingly evil at worst? At the same time our education system is a failure, churning out generations of idiots who think “climate change” is the most serious problem we face. I mean WTF is with that, and how are so many people so damned stupid? To think of all the huge problems we need to confront….. and yet a giant percentage of the population wants to cut our own throats in global competition so we can pee into the wind? The weather? For real? You people think we can change the mechanics of the very universe? Wow.

Add to all of this the weight of the global population. China is packed with a billion plus people who are mostly male and mostly deprived of any opportunity to do anything with their lives. India is brimming with young, aimless men also. Do you think that’s an odd thing for me to mention? It’s not. Want to know why? Because countries with population crisis like that need something to do with all of those bodies, not to mention finding the resources to feed them. Historically the answer is war. When you combine poor economies with poor leadership, bad things happen. Kind of like putting American soldiers on the battlefield right next to Russian soldiers. Can someone tell me why our president is dead set on arming and funding the Islamic state, using our troops to defend them, and doing this in direct opposition to Russia – who is engaged in active combat with them? How long before an incident that leads to disaster happens?

And there you have it. All of the things I have mentioned lead to a very troubling conclusion. How does the U.S. rise out of deepening recession? How does China manage it’s population and failing economy? How does Iran use it’s newfound and America-given hegemony in the Middle East? How does Europe contain the Islamic crisis it has helped create and is so far powerless to stop? It seems that no matter what the question is, sadly and predictably, a World War is The Answer. We won the last one, but I fear that a nation of climate changin’, gender reassignin’, celebrity worshippin’, Bernie Sanders lovin’, Benghazi lyin’, spray tannin’, Ferguson burnin’, and selfie takin’ whiners is ill equipped to win, or even survive, the next one.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Obama

Posted on April 17, 2015 by W.Whitten

Well, at least now I know what the English translation of the word “fatwah” is…..and it’s “Executive Order”. Being an American who grew up in the Eighties, I remember when Iran was the equivalent of Al Qaeda, and the Ayatollah was Osama bin Laden. There were T-shirts with his mug on it surrounded by crosshairs, and signs in shop windows with varying ways to say “screw you Iran”. Without going into all the statistics about how Iran took American hostages, blew up Marine barracks, funded (and funds) Hezbollah, screamed (and screams) “death to America” in the streets, and generally is an all around boil on the ass of civilization, I think it’s fair to say the Iranians are not our buddies.

In more recent times, Iran is, and has been, a sworn enemy of the American people. For example, if you are an American war veteran injured or maimed by an improvised explosive device, that device might as well have had “Made in Iran” stamped on its inner workings. So forgive me for not exactly supporting this new defeatist endeavour.

Can anyone explain to me why we are having any discussions whatsoever with Iran? If the issue is the acquisition of a nuclear weapon, and preventing it, then did we not already have the sanctions, structures, and policies in place for just that purpose? And exactly how does speeding up a nuclear Iran help? Is it just me, or has “The One”, John “Ketchup” Kerry, and Shrillary Clinton turned the entire middle east into a caliphate on the verge of World War III? In my lifetime I have never witnessed a more dangerous world….one where global chaos is one financial collapse or nuclear detonation away?

Listen, I have come a long way in my thinking of America’s place in the world. I DO NOT think that we should be the world’s policeman, nor involve ourselves in foreign conflicts that do not directly affect my ability to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. In essence I think we need to get our collective scat together. I am reminded of an argument I once had with someone who thought the U.S. was arrogant and imperial, and that we should not be the world’s only “Superpower”. I am able to understand and even empathize with such a statement. But that kind of thinking is naïve and frankly dangerous. There IS GOING TO BE a world leader that sets the tone, agenda, and currency for everyone else.

For good or ill, that used to be the United States. And if you’re one of those that thinks we’re getting our comeuppance, that we have no right to set the world’s agenda, get ready. Because the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Obama agrees with you, as well as all of the rest of our ruling “elites”. The New World that you long for will be led by China, Iran, Russia, and an Islamic Caliphate….all with our assistance and capitulation. And that will be great. Unless you’re a woman, a minority, religious, LGBT, progressive, conservative, a free thinker, educated, special needs, or elderly. Because in a world not guided by the following statement, many of us are doomed.

“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator certain unalienable Rights, among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness….. that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed……”

And that sounds a whole hell of a lot better than, “bow”, “obey”, and “convert or die”.
