Can There Be Civilization Without Justice?

Chinese Missiles in Saudi Arabia?

Discovery or announcement? Multiple reports say Saudi Arabia has significantly escalated its ballistic missile program.  The advance has come through acquisition of missiles and technology. Assuming the story is true it is not a development that moves the region closer to peace. It is a development threatening decades of US efforts to limit such proliferation … Read more

UN Court says Treaty Makes US Sanctions Illegal – Trump Admin. Dumps Treaty

The big news that doesn’t have the words Kavanaugh or Ford in it, is a declaration by the United Nations International Court of Justice. It claims that planned U.S. Sanctions on the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism are illegal and that they must ease them. Why? A 1955 Treaty with Iran.

The Trump administration’s response. We’re terminating the treaty.

Iran: Where Obama Appeased Trump Brings the Pain

Iran-Map-22-620x350Here’s something you probably missed in your diet of Cable News, if you can even stomach that stuff. Since Trump dumped the Iran deal and introduced sanctions, Iranian currency has lost 40% of its value.

The rial has lost 40 per cent of its value since last month, when President Donald Trump pulled out of Iran’s 2015 nuclear accord and announced draconian sanctions on Tehran.

These include an attempt to shut down the international sale of Iranian oil, Tehran’s main source of revenue, a threat that has cast a chill over the economy.

So is it likely that Obama knew about this and STILL gave Iran billions of dollars to ‘cement’ his ‘legacy’

Falling Man TortureAnswer: yes. I’m betting that everything else was Shiny Objects and Obama only wanted to give the mullahs that planeload of currency:

Iranian officials, in a first, have admitted to facilitating the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. by secretly aiding the free travel of al Qaeda operatives who eventually went on to fly commercial airliners into the Twin Towers in New York City, according to new remarks from a senior Iranian official.

America’s Declining Influence in the Middle East

Our guest is Avi Melamed, an internationally acclaimed Middle East expert, a former Senior official on Arab Affairs and Intelligence, and the author of “Inside the Middle East. Making Sense of the Most Dangerous and Complicated Region on Earth.”      

Obama, O’Malley, GrokWATCH, etc..

In this segment we touch on Obama’s Iran policy, our invite to Martin O’Malley, how you can write for GraniteGrok, and the goals of the new 603 Alliance. Hint: to prevent some establishment RINO from winning the NH Primary.  

Bugs Obama, Yosemite Assad, Wile Iranians and Red Lines

The Charlatan in Chief blustered and threw down a red line last August to the Assad regime on chemical weapons.

Or so it seemed to his fans at the time.

He went forth to the adoring throngs with their laptops, tech Pad du jours, and cameras clutched and at the ready. Their attention hung on every bleated word as it made its way from the beguiling and Smartest President Evertm into their pixels and ink. Emotionally woozy, the reporters didn’t follow up for clarification; they just transmitted the text before the vapors overwhelmed them. “Ooooh, he’s so brave. He mentioned a red line. Did you hear that? He put down a red line… ‘scuse me I need to head to the restroom.”

Well, what he actually said was (emphasis mine):

Iran’s New Stealth Fighter – So Stealthy It’s As If It Doesn’t Even Exist

Q313 Iranian Stealth Fighter?
Q-313-1 Iranian Stealth Fighter or Tom Cruise’ Blow Up Pool Toy?

Iran announced that it had entered the Stealth Fighter club with the introduction of the Quaher 313.  But after reviewing the pictures provided by the Iranian Government and FARS news agency the Fighter Jet enthusiasts agree with King Arthur’s trusty steed,  ‘It’s only a model.’

From John Reed at Foriegn Policy Magazine (Free Subscription Required):

When I first looked at the plane Saturday morning, I could tell it was bogus. Look at the photos of the cockpit: there’s barely any wiring. In fact, it looks like the Iranians dumped some rudimentary flight controls and an ejection seat into a shell molded in what they thought were stealthy angles.

Clinton a “Finest” Secretary of State? Ridiculous!!

President Obama says Secretary Clinton has been one of our country’s finest Secretaries of State.  Huh??  Is the President now smoking something other than cigarettes?

Is the world safer, more peaceful, are threats reduced, is our country more respected around the world, are people more free than they were when Hillary took over as Secretary of State?  No, no, no, no and no!

The Middle East is in turmoil and the power of radical Muslims is increasing (with our help!!).  Non-aggressive governments in Egypt and Libya have been replaced, with Hillary’s and Obama’s help, with anti-American governments that want to destroy Israel.  The Obama administration armed al Queda affiliates in Libya and Syria.

Attempt to Cover up Naive, Dangerous, Failed Obama Policies

For weeks President Obama and his top aides lied to us, claiming the events in the Middle East on 9-11 were caused by a movie that few people even knew about.   Those claims were attempts to cover up President Obama’s failed Middle East policies that strengthen terrorists, comfort our enemies, and are bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war.   

For years Democrats told us that killing Osama would destroy al-Qaeda and win the war on terror.  The 9-11 attacks exposed that obvious falsehood. 

President Obama refused requests for assistance for the real democracy revolution in Iran that would have helped stabilize the Middle East and end Iran’s aid to enemies that kill American soldiers.

Media Bias In Iran – Not that Different

This story is about how the Iranian currency, the rial, has lost four fifths of its value in the past year.  While that has many portents what caught my eye was this… “They spend billions of dollars to keep Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in power, but now they say they have no money!,” one garment … Read more

Just a Theory…

I think Iran and Egypt are co-coordinating a response to the impending Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear capability.

The expectation is that Israel will do something before the November elections.  Egypt, which is now engaging in diplomatic exchanges with Iran, has recently moved more military hardware into the Sinai peninsula to deal with militants and security issues.  There are probably plenty of those, and by all accounts, Israel is not balking at allowing Egypt to deal with those (per long standing peace treaty agreements), but there is the matter of Egyptian tanks that were moved into the region, which Israeli officials claim they did not know about in advance.

The Coming War…Blood for Nothing.

No, I am not talking about the presidential campaign, though that will be similar to a war.  I am referring to what Mr. Obama will do if he feels he has to to get re-elected. Hold on to your peacenik badges lefties, because that hope and change you’ve been clinging to will take another hit … Read more

I think this might prove to be troublesome to Ron Paul?

“Iran’s warriors are ready and willing to wipe Israel off the map,” That from the Iran’s Deputy Defense Minister, Ahmad Vahidi.  Now, he is saying this in context of Israel attacking Iran to stop the latter from getting the bomb – a terse warning of “don’t try it”. The real problem is, however, is the … Read more
