Australia to Fly Guns and Ammunition Into Iraq

Posted on by

“An Australian military aircraft will soon fly guns and ammunition to the northern Iraqi city of Irbil to help Kurds fight Islamic State militants.  Prime Minister Tony Abbott said his government would join the United States, Britain, Canada, France and Italy in delivering rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and assault rifle ammunition at the request of the U.S. and Iraqi governments.  The opposition Labor Party, which opposed Australia sending 2,000 troops to back U.S. and British forces in the 2003 Iraq invasion, has supported the involvement in delivering weapons and munitions to the Kurds.  Abbott did not believe Australia’s military involvement in Iraq would increase the domestic terrorist threat.”

Afghan policeman kills 7 allies after US general slain in “insider” attack

Posted on by

“U.S. officials prepared to fly the body of a two-star general slain in an Afghan ‘insider attack’ back home, as a similar attack saw an Afghan police officer drug and shoot  dead seven of his colleagues, authorities said.  The investigation into the killing of Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest-ranked U.S. officer to be slain in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War, continued Wednesday without any clear answers into why a man dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire. The shooting wounded about 15 people, including a German general and two Afghan generals.  The attack at underscored the tensions that persist as the U.S. and NATO troops’ combat role winds down in Afghanistan.”

How to Lose a Constitution—Lessons from Roman History

Posted on by

“Rome at the time of the Catalinarian conspiracy was not the Rome of centuries before, when honor, virtue, and character were the watchwords of Roman life. By Cicero’s time, the place was rife with corruption and power lust. The outward appearances of a Republic were undermined daily by civil strife and a growing welfare-warfare State. Many who gave lip service in public to Republican values were privately conniving to secure power or wealth through political connections. Others were corrupted or bribed into silence by government handouts. The Republic was on life support and Cicero’s voice was soon to be drowned out by a rising tide of political intrigue and violence and popular apathy.”

Dimes on Black and Dynamite on Red

Posted on by

“On the basis of measures that have been reliably correlated with actual subsequent market returns in market cycles across a century of data, we estimate that the S&P 500 Index will be no higher a decade from now than it is today. On the basis of nominal total returns (including dividends), we estimate zero or negative returns for the S&P 500 on every horizon shorter than about 8 years.  At the same time, we don’t have strong views about immediate market prospects. Still, even a run-of-the-mill completion to the present market cycle would wipe out more than half of the market’s gains since the 2009 low, so whatever gains the market experiences in the interim are likely to be transitory.”

Bill Bonner: The Committee to Blow Up the World

Posted on by

Bill-Bonner2

“Typically, investors have paid from 10 to 20 times annual earnings for shares. But when they are bearish, as they were in 1982 and again in 2009, they will want to pay less than 10 times earnings. And when they are bullish, the sky’s the limit… but seldom more than 20 times.  Currently – except for China and Russia – almost all major country stock markets are closer to the top of the range than the bottom. With the S&P 500 now trading on a Shiller P/E (which looks at the average of 10 years of inflation-adjusted earnings) of 26.5.  What would make investors so bullish? And why would this bullishness extend to practically the entire globe?”

Inevitable Terrorist Attack: Will You Be Manipulated?

Posted on by

ddc-header1

“So-called ‘security experts’ on Fox News are warning of an impending terrorist attack. These ‘insiders’ claim to know things. Maybe so, but…  The last time our so-called security bureaucracy knew enough to stop a terrorist attack, 9-11 happened. In other words…  Their so-called special knowledge didn’t protect anyone. Even worse…  9-11 was used as an excuse to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. Those invasions caused much of the chaos that now dominates the headlines. So here’s the question…  Will you be fooled again? Will you be exploited again?   The next time the politicians want to use some incident to scare you into war, will you fall for it?”

Sutton’s Theory of Elite Action, Applied To ISIS

Posted on by

“ISIS is an organization run by men bent on restoring the Caliphate that crucifies their own jihadists for being too moderate and blows up Islamic holy sites. If ever there were a group fit for their dialectical purpose, it’s ISIS. They are absolutely guaranteed to antagonize every Muslim who is not a part of their particular brand of belief, which is exactly what the elite would need to create an Islamic synthesis. They only lacked money and armaments, yet lo and behold! The US government armed them and then abandoned oil-rich Iraq, leaving a vacuum of power. Again, is this unparalleled incompetence or design?”

When America Switched Sides In The War On Terror

Posted on by

“Focusing on this under-reported, critical shift in American foreign policy, Clare Lopez discusses how an American ambassador and others were killed in Benghazi on the anniversary of 9/11 because the Obama administration decided to promote and defend their narrative that ‘al-Qaida was on the run,’ even as we were outright arming militants affiliated with the terrorist group.  Lopez spent 20 years as an undercover operations officer for the CIA.  To her, the American decision to overthrow the head of a sovereign government, Muammar al-Gaddafi, and to instead support al-Qaida and the Muslim Brotherhood laid the important framework for a resurgence of global jihad.”

Rescuing “Hitler”: Obama’s Bailout of Assad

Posted on by

“Syria’s Assad is like Hitler. So said Secretary of State John Kerry in September 2013.  Now the U.S. government is about to bail him out in his civil war against ISIS.  Three decades ago Saddam Hussein was an ally of the USA.  Then the USA declared war on him. Twice. He became ‘Hitler.’  A year ago, Kerry spoke of a ‘Munich Moment‘ with Syria.  So, the U.S. government will not withdraw from the region. It will determine which faction wins and which loses, and on what terms. Except the government keeps changing its collective mind about who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are.  Assad needs a victory over ISIS. Obama plans to give it to him, free of charge.”
