Been a busy news cycle these past few days. One of the biggest stories is the death of Kim Jung Il and leads to a power vacuum that no one knows how it will play out. His youngest son Kim Jung Un is now in charge although there are rumors that his uncles and the military may be watching in the wings, overseeing the young tyrant. What will happen with this is anyone's guess. A military strike of some sort may be in the near future as a way of showing strength. However in these stressful times, an overcaluclation of strength could lead to war.
Speaking of war, words are escalating between Iran and the US/Israeli heads of state. In a matter of weeks, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta went from we need restraint against Iran because we have no direct evidence of nuclear ambitions to Iran is getting a bomb by the end of next year. That's quite an escalation. Israel will most likely attack Iran some point soon, I'm guessing just after the holidays and if they do, we're involved whether we like it or not. War seems to be imminent but I've said that before and look how that turned out. However, this time may be different as I will be shocked if Israel doesn't do something to protect their national interests against a foe who wants them dead. Covert affairs will only last so long. If they want to stop Iran a full scale invasion may be the only way to do it, although I highly doubt it will start out like that. Inevitably though, that will be the final solution as Iran will do highly provocative actions that may lead to a world war if Russia or China get involved. Troop positions and movement of naval vessels world wide is a cause for concern. With North Korea entering the equation now, this could get ugly fast.
In a show of what we have to look forward to, Louisiana is calling on the national guard to patrol the streets as drug violence took the life of a small child over the weekend. Citing soaring crime levels, state lawmaker Austin Badon Jr. told CNN he "wants the government to step and help control the violence," by sending troops to patrol troubled areas, although he admitted that just "a select few people" were responsible for the crimes.
The CNN host makes clear that Badon is just one of several officials calling for National Guard troops.
"I have called on the Governor to bring in the National Guard," said Badon, asserting that residents were "more comfortable" after seeing the Guard patrol the streets in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina.
"We are at war and when you're at war, you have to bring in soldiers," said Badon, describing the situation as "urban warfare," and complaining about people who own guns.
That's right. These assholes want to use the already repealed Posse Comitatus act to not only patrol our streets, but confiscate guns, just like during Hurricane Katrina. If anyone asks for your gun, give it to them barrel end first and fire. If the government declares martial law, your rights are gone including your right to bear arms. And the GOP is behind this push. Still feel safe voting idiots like Gingrich on office. Wake up fools. They are playing you for chumps. A vote for the GOP, for the most part, is a vote to take away your guns. Mind you democrats are not alone in this either, but short of people like Ron Paul, your second amendment rights are being slowly stripped from you and the NRA is no where in sight as they are bought and payed for by the Republican party. Stop voting fascists into office or your guns will go the way of your freedoms and rights. Our government is playing fast and loose with the Bill of Rights and it needs to stop. Vote Ron Paul in 2012.
It's your only hope.
And if vote fraud looks to be rearing it's ugly head, take a page from the OWS movement, camp out on the National Mall and don't leave until indepedent verification can rule out fraud. We are not Russia. We are not China. We are not Iran. Don't let it be.
A final note on Pat Robertson who took offense at SNL and their Jesus/Tebow sketch. They called it blasphemy. What are we, the Taliban? Go away. I am sick to death of religious wing nuts. God is calling you Pat. Why don't you go into the fricking light already.
