Shawn Hannity speaks of our best allies in the world as being Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The Egyptian government has only been around a few years and came about as an unelected military coup. Fifteen of the 9 - 11 hijackers are from Saudi Arabia, which to me seems to be the world's largest state sponseror of terrorism- rather than Iran.
Former engineer Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, according to investigators, was a lone gunman with no prior infractions who this week targeted two US military facilities in Tennessee, killing four militants and no civilians.
Salman bin Abdulaziz is one of the world’s worst dictators. He has many prior infractions, such aspublicly announcing becoming a rogue nuclear state, beheading and torturing hundreds of people and repressing millions, and is currently carrying out a war of aggression against one of the poorest countries in the world, Yemen, killing thousands of civilians and enforcing a blockade that risks starving millions, as Yemen imports almost all of its food.
The despot Abdulaziz is one of Washington’s top allies. His terrorist regime is the recipient of the biggest shipment of weapons in US history, approved by Obama in 2010 (the US is the world’s biggest arms trafficker). These killing machines are now being used on the people of Yemen. In 2013, Obama sent the despot almost a billion dollars worth of banned cluster bombs, which both Obama and Abdulaziz have now used against Yemenis.
Many foreign nationals are trapped in the war-zone in Yemen, and eight countries, including India, China, and Russia, are performing risky missions to rescue civilians, their own citizens as well as others. While there are thousands of US civilians trapped in Yemen, Washington vocally refuses to rescue them, issuing a facile claim that it would be too risky, while at the same time performing rescue missions for Saudi pilots whose planes have gone down in Yemen.
Washington is also personally coordinating with dictator Abdulaziz on the strikes, and is refueling the US planes being flown by Saudi pilots.
Obama continues to bomb Yemen himself, killing hundreds of suspects and civilians in a death campaign he has been pursuing for years. He is also participating in enforcing the blockade, which human rights groups say has led the country to the brink of a mass humanitarian catastrophe.
The attack by Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez is a small and diluted taste – no explosives were used and no suspects or civilians were killed – of what drone strikes on one’s country are like.
Whenever the US gets a small taste of its own medicine, it doesn’t like it, yet continues to administer the medicine to others in mega-doses. Washington elites know their violence causes violent retaliation, but continue it because they themselves are insulated and safe, and only lower-level grunts and civilians, their human shields, will take the hits.
The Tennessee shooter is quoted in his high school year book as saying that his name, Abdulazeez, “causes national security alerts”. This is now literally true, but is dependent on circumstances. One attack by an Abdulazeez is saturating US headlines and receiving stark condemnation from the US government/oligarchy (Obama called it “heartbreaking”), while an incomparably worse attack by an incomparably worse Abdulaziz, raining down on thousands of people, including US Americans abandoned by their oligarchy, is met with media silence and extreme support and participation from Washington.

I listened to Shawn Hannity
rave on for the hour- he said the "snap back" of sanctions was bogus because there is a loophole nobody knows about but him. He carried on at length about the President's past faborible references to Islam, as though Hannity was at war not with just one terrorist but a whole religion. By the way he did say that this lone wolf attack is "an act of war" by Islam. He spoke of Michael Brown and how "He's not jumping to conclusions like the democrats did after the Michael Brown shooting. There - as the facts continued to accumulate to indicate the officer's guilt - - and that only changed three months later in November when a massive PR campaign was unleashed including that fairy tale testimony of the officer. Speaking of PR - - Governor Walker takes out full political ads if he disagrees with the state legislature on a matter. He polititicizes everything and makes every government post a quazi campaign post. Today I saw my first ad that Congress should vote down the Iranian treaty. So he's trying the issue in the media- - which would have been farsical - - that such a specialized issue would be reduced to arguing whether Pepsi is better than Coke. Shawn Hannity used every cliche in the book today playing the "no gun zone" card again - and the "What if US troops shot Israeli bombers out of the sky down" card, and in general talking about the President's radical leftist agenda. On the soap opera Clyde Weston has been bugging the Di Mira
mansion and don’t ask me why someone in the past thirty years never thought of
that before. These Titans Di Mira and Kiriacus appear to be powerless playthings in the hands of Clyde Weston. They both seem completely powerless against him. Brady and Teresa and co
haven’t been on the show since Wednesday.
Yesterday’s blogger number was up.
It seems to me that I’m always hoping for the next election year and having democrats get elected, but instead more republicans than ever get elected and things get only steadily worse for people like me, who are on the lower rungs of society. It seems I’ve averaged nearly a phone call a day from the phone company each time with a new salesperson. But my response to them is always the same and you’d think at some point they’d give up. They are the source of my own economic malaise- - increasing rates at double and more- - the rate of inflation. IT'S NOTABLE that the economy and the Federal Reserve and the National Deficet are things no candidate are talking about today. Suddenly there are no candidates questioning the veracity of the Federal Reserve or saying they ought to be audited. The deficet has been steadily coming down. What we have economically is "the new normal" and people under Walker in Wisconsin or Snyder in Michigan could tell you all about "the new normal" because this will be and is a never ending recession for them.
PRESIDENT REAGAN also negotiated with Iran. When the Iranian proxy group Hez Ballah attacked those marine baricks in Lebanon and killed 273 of our marines, the President's response was "Arms for hostages" concerning other hostages. To me this is utterly madness not knowing his motive. Just as such a blanket immigration amnesty in 1986 seemed an act of "devil may care" attitude. But once again knowing his motives clarifies things. It's not that Ronald Reagan was always conservative, but Reagan is a SYMBOL of someone whom people like the Koch Brothers PUT IN POWER in the first place. So they are revering these conservative power brokers more than they are the President himself. But when you listen to Boni Sadir's continuing accusation that Bill Casey made a deal to free the Iranian hostages taken in November of 1979, suddenly it all makes sense. President Reagan OWED Iran and he knew it, and he knew he had to make good on his promise by selling missiles to a nation we were technically at war with, because "officially" we took Iraq's side in the Iran Iraq war. This is about as two-sided as you can get!
