The last few weeks have brought everything to a critical point for my evaluations of President Obama. This does not mean that before this I had any doubts as to his disturbing tendencies to treat menacing adversaries and enemies as honored and valued friends and allies as despicable, devious and traitorous enemies. I have also been aware of his great and boundless hatred and revulsion towards our military, his pure disgust for private entrepreneurial enterprise, especially if they are successful. I have also observed President Obama’s great love affair with all-encompassing and unlimited government, and his affections for stifling, vague regulations and their use to inhibit any freedoms and bring all under direct government micromanagement. I have been conscious of his disdain and revulsion for those who believe differently than he and his close little group of quasi-dictatorial czars who make up his shadow cabinet which has usurped the constitutional powers of the actual department heads and cabinet positions with a couple of notable exceptions which include the State Department and Defense which are under the management of two of President Obama’s fellow socialist, possibly even communist, travelers, Secretary of State Clinton and Secretary of Defense Panetta. But a few actions of late have perfectly exemplified the perfidy with which President Obama conducts most of his assigned responsibilities and ducks those others he finds distasteful and detrimental to the completion of the total transition of the United States of America he had promised in his campaign. Remembering his promises, or should I call them what they were, threats, which he proudly exclaimed to roars of approval his intentions to radically and unalterable transform this great country into an image most detrimental to its continued greatness while much of the country was blinded by media’s hyperventilating infatuation with what they described as a blinding intellect beyond any measure or description. Now we are just about three years into the first term of President Obama and his shining and glimmering armor now appears to have become rusted and tarnished.
Let us first go back to early this past December when we were informed that one of our advanced stealthy drones had been lost and reportedly been captured by the Iranians. This turned out to be fact but it remained unclear whether it was lost due to a unit malfunction or if the Iranians had figured out a way of blocking the signals to the drone causing it to lose contact with its controllers. Iran having been able to block the controlling RF Controlling Signals would not be as technically difficult as many might believe. What is disturbing is that after losing reception the drone simply, according to some reports, landed safely after a set period of not receiving any instructions. I think that somebody needs to rethink that part of the programming and alter it such that the drone upon losing signals and thus instructions would return to its launch site or to a preprogrammed safe location and if unable to achieve that it would have some form of self-destruct ability, even if that was simply diving full speed into the ground, in order to deny its capture by unfriendly forces. But then again, it may actually have those abilities and they had been disabled on this mission in order to facilitate its capture, but that would be too close to being a conspiracy theory to be believable, or is it? Once it had been confirmed that the drone, a presumably highly valuable and highly technical drone, had fallen within Iranian territory, it was reported that President Obama was given three options he could pursue, send a mission of Special Forces soldiers to retrieve the drone or destroy the drone if unable to retrieve it or order a strike mission to destroy the drone. President Obama chose option four, do nothing and then, after a few days, simply plead with the Iranians and ask nicely, “Would you please return our drone?” Wow, that sure was forceful and a strong action, how could the Iranians refuse such an ultimatum?
Next issue just occurred this past week when another Iranian scientist who was a member of their nuclear program was killed. Iranian scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was a chemistry expert and senior official at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran and was killed in a drive-by-bombing when a motorcyclist placed magnetic explosives on his car and sped away before they ignited killing the scientist and his two passengers. Iran has laid blame on the West, the United States and Israel to be specific. Early the next day Secretary of State Hillary Clinton released a statement to the press disavowing any connection to the killing of the Iranian scientist by the United States, something both expected and admirable for somebody in her position. I definitely would not expect anybody representing the United States to claim credit for the operation even had it been a covert operation of the United States. Later in the day while addressing some Military Personnel at Fort Bliss, Texas, Secretary of Defense Panetta also disavowed any part by the United States being played in the assassination of the Iranian scientist but also went further by claiming that, “We have some ideas as to who might be involved. But we don’t know exactly who was involved.” This would be an interesting comment made solely on its own but takes on a whole new dimension when we include the interesting phone call made earlier in the day by President Obama. The President had called Prime Minister Netanyahu and while discussing Iran and other issues, President Obama demanded from Prime Minister Netanyahu an explanation for Israeli actions that were involved in the assassination of the Iranian Scientist and the other two occupants of his car. President Obama went further and demanded that going forward that the Israeli Prime Minister clear any actions Israel may be planning on taking with President Obama before issuing the orders or acting. Then came the coup de grace. On Saturday Time reported “Like three previous Iranian scientists ambushed on their morning commute, the latest nuclear expert to die on his way to work was a victim of Israel’s Mossad, Western intelligence sources tell TIME.” Time added, “Wednesday’s attack followed the pattern of previous operations planned by Mossad and carried out over the past two years by Iranians trained and paid by Israel’s spy agency, according to intelligence sources.” One does not need to be a rocket scientist, or an Iranian nuclear scientist, to figure who were Time’s intelligence sources. Time was simply being a good soldier and adding one more nail in the Israeli covert operations coffin as instructed when given the incriminating evidence, the statements of intelligence sources who will remain anonymous now and forever, but trust that these intelligence sources are unimpeachable and have never steered Time wrong. You can have complete faith that the intelligence sources were not attached to or in any way related to the White House.
When adding these two simple incidents we can see more of the love thine enemy but destroy old friends, especially if they happen to be Israel, which the Obama Administration has pursued from day one when President Obama made his first official call from the Oval Office after the inauguration to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Add to this the simple oddity of President Obama and his actions concerning the Arab Winter. He did not back the demonstrators against the Iranian Theocratic leaders. He relatively quickly threw Egyptian President Mubarak under the bus and into the hospital ICU and on to the trial being used to execute him. President Obama was all ready to pull together an alliance to assist the Libyan rebels in their struggle to remove Muammar Gaddafi. He did nothing to assist the rebels who are still dying by the scores in Syria in an attempt to remove President Bashar al- Assad. President Obama has personally invented two new demands which have now become the bane that is killing the Israeli Palestinian peace negotiations, the idea for an all-inclusive building freeze and the 1949 Armistice Lines as the starting point for setting boundaries which would undo something that all previous agreements had already settled, namely dividing Jerusalem which had already been agreed to be ceded to Israel in exchange for some of the bordering Arab towns a few miles south of Jerusalem. If you check President Obama’s actions throughout the Middle East, any time he could support or at least not oppose a leader or country that was actively threatening Israel he worked to allow that situation to continue and if anyone had signed a peace with Israel (Mubarak) or had not taken any steps against Israel in decades (Gaddafi), President Obama did everything in his power to replace them with what he very likely knew or hoped would work to destroy Israel. But, of course, I’m simply insane and paranoid. Just keep thinking that but also keep what this paranoid has said and let us see. We have at least one more year with an option for four more years. I, unlike those who are so completely sure of President Obama’s defeat, am not anywhere near as comfortable that such is anywhere near guaranteed. Actually, I expect it to be a very close election and should it be a landslide, then I expect we have five more years of President Obama. Please let it be I’m simply paranoid.
