RE: Human Shields In Gaza

Happy Monday everyone. I got this in my inbox this morning and would like to share it.

Anatomy of a Failed Presidency!

The following is an interesting article and I wonder how long Dr. Hunt can remain at NIH once the powers that be get wind of this article.
Dr. Hunt is a social and cultural anthropologist. He has had nearly 30 years experience in planning, conducting, and managing research in the field of youth studies, and drug and alcohol research. Currently Dr. Hunt is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute for Scientific Analysis and the Principal Investigator on three National Institutes on Health projects. He is also a writer for American Thinker.

Another Failed Presidency


An article from American Thinker by Geoffrey P. Hunt

Barack Obama is on track to have the most spectacularly failed presidency since Woodrow Wilson. In the modern era, we've seen several failed presidencies--led by Jimmy Carter and LBJ. Failed presidents have one strong common trait-- they are repudiated, in the vernacular, spat out.
Of course, LBJ wisely took the exit ramp early, avoiding a shove into oncoming traffic by his own party. Richard Nixon indeed resigned in disgrace, yet his reputation as a statesman has been partially restored by his triumphant overture to China

But, Barack Obama is failing. Failing big. Failing fast. And failing everywhere: foreign policy, domestic initiatives, and most importantly, in forging connections with the American people. The incomparable Dorothy Rabinowitz in the Wall Street Journal put her finger on it: He is failing because he has no understanding of the American people, and may indeed loathe them. Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard says he is failing because he has lost control of his message, and is overexposed. Clarice Feldman of American Thinker produced a dispositive commentary showing that Obama is failing because fundamentally he is neither smart nor articulate; his intellectual dishonesty is conspicuous by its audacity and lack of shame.

But, there is something more seriously wrong: How could a new president riding in on a wave of precedented promise and goodwill have forfeited his tenure and become a lame duck in six months? His poll ratings are in free fall. In generic balloting, the Republicans have now seized a five point advantage. This truly is unbelievable. What's going on?

No narrative. Obama doesn't have a narrative. No, not a narrative about himself. He has a self-narrative, much of it fabricated, cleverly disguised or written by someone else. But this self-narrative is isolated and doesn't connect with us. He doesn't have an American narrative that draws upon the rest of us. All successful presidents have a narrative about the American character that intersects with their own where they display a command of history and reveal an authenticity at the core of their personality that resonates in a positive endearing way with the majority of Americans. We admire those presidents whose narratives not only touch our own, but who seem stronger, wiser, and smarter than we are. Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.

But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task--all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper.

Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience.

In the meantime, while we've been struggling to take a measurement of this man, he's dissed just about every one of us--financiers, energy producers, banks, insurance executives, police officers, doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, post office workers, and anybody else who has a non-green job. Expect Obama to lament at his last press conference in 2012:
"For those of you I offended, I apologize. For those of you who were not offended, you just didn't give me enough time; if only I'd had a second term, I could have offended you too."

Mercifully, the Founders at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 devised a useful remedy for such a desperate state--staggered terms for both houses of the legislature and the executive. An equally abominable Congress can get voted out next year. With a new Congress, there's always hope of legislative gridlock until we vote for president again two short years after that.

Yes, small presidents do fail, Barack Obama among them. The coyotes howl but the wagon train keeps rolling along.

Hello Peter,

The second video is most disturbing and validates our concerns. You and I have discussed this and have shared our views all during the campaign and resulting election and we continue to do so during his presidency.

First and foremost I do not believe Obama is a Christian as he claimed during his campaign speeches. You and I have sounded the alarm all along as we listened to this man's words, read passages from his auto-biographies, seen him praised in text books yet he has yet to do anything truly constructive for America and its citizens. He and his Democratic controlled congress (Since 2006) have taken America on a path of self destruction.

The worst part of all this is the sheeple never listened to what he was saying. They were too busy chanting trance like "Obama, Obama, Obama" like mindless zombies. This is how this man was elected and he lies about it because he is on Jihad too. IMHO



Hi Jim,

Both videos are very disturbing in my opinion. The first mainly for B Hussein Obowma's refusal to say anything against Jihad or Islam. Instead he's preaching how well integrated they are in the US culture. According to the demands they have for Sharia and their "special" rights it doesn't sound like they are very well integrated to me.

The second video is the cruncher and his professed faith isn't Christianity in that video. It does explain his extreme advocacy and love of all that is Islam and his refusal to recognize any problems regarding Jihad and terrorist attacks. Case in point the arrested Muslim DC "youngsters" and the Jihadi attack on Ft. Hood.

The very negative approval ratings he's getting lately shows that the public is waking up and are realizing that the "change" he was talking about is no where near the change they were hoping for.

I don't believe those Dems will be running the Hill come November 2010!

Shalom,

Peter

Hi Peter,

You might be aware of it or not, but over the period of 800 yearsPoland used to be the first country from the east of Europe where allwars between Christianity and Islam were fought. Poland used to bestrong country during this period. Even during those times for the mostpart Poland itself was able to stop any Islam attacks and defend Europefrom Islamisation.

I'm also frequently visiting Europe thesedays and have lots of family there. There is no threat of Islam there,although there are hot spots here and there, but this happenseverywhere were different ethnic groups start living together.

The anti-Islam hysteria is prevalent in USA and is produced by government elements there.

Let's pretend for a second that Islam actually has plans like you said.

Theywould be against Western mostly Judo-Christian population whichcontrols all the resources of the world, owns majority of weaponry ofthe world, owns entire technology of the world and prints thecurrencies (out of thin air) which are recognized throughout the world.This is way more than little Poland had for 800 years previously.

Thissounds very similar to explanation of Obama when sending additionaltroops to Afghanistan and syaing that to keep peace we have to engagein wars. When Obama moves his 30,000 troops to Afghanistan, there willbe relation of 12-1 to Taliban.

I understand some of thejustifications, but when I hear 12-1 as a means to suppers the enemy, Ineed to ask myself about rationality of his thinking.

Also I'mnot familiar with Robert Spencer, but this is not the point. I believethat he was writing books about Islam previously and he doesn't need tobe a government agent.

You might know I lived for half of my life in communist country.
Youdon't need to be government agent, you just need to say what governmentwants you to say. You get the visibility and recognition, you get allthe prizes and attention when you sing the song which is helping thegovernment in their agenda.

Once pseudo-science was supported to prove that there are better human races than others.
Peoplewho conducted such research were not government agents, they werescientist the same as today's scientists creating global warming agendawith support of UN. You might want to check climategate if you are not aware of it.

Be aware of real threats and those government doesn't want you to know.
You have to dig deep to find them out.

Hi Bogdan,

I tend to disagree with much of what you wrote. Europe is a hot bed inmost of the countries now. England, France, Belgium, Germany,Australia, Austria, Holland, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, the Scandinavian countries and the list goes on. I follow the situation in Europe very closely and have excellent sources for the many "incidents"that occur almost on a daily basis throughout Europe that are not reported on in the main stream media. The latest most serious event was the Swiss banning of minarets. So far the European leaders are against the ban while the general populations in most of the European countries when polled were for the ban.

What is interesting is that the Ex communistic countries such as Poland, Romania, Hungary and others have less problems at the moment since they weren't attractive targets for the multitudes of Muslim immigrants throughout Europe due to the oppressive communistic regimes. With the fall of communism this is slowly changing but those countries are far behind the Muslim immigrant levels of the rest of Europe. This of course doesn't include countries like Croatia, Albania and others that have a large Muslim population for generations.

Today many consider Europe to be "Eurabia" cos of the undue influence the Muslims have living within their boundaries and the ever increasing influence regardless of supposedly low percentages in the general population.

This video shows exactly what happens within the different countries as the Muslim population grows. This unfortunately includes the United States and Canada now and it's well worth watching. The facts in it are quite stark and we are all witnesses of the progressive influence within our different countries. What you see in the video is part of the Islamic plan for world domination.



Bogdan I am well aware of the other dangers the world is facing under many guises of the different groups trying to gain control with the Global Warming religion scam/hoax at the top of the list at the moment. Climategate is just now opening the eyes of many that believed in this scam and once again if not for the internet most of us wouldn't know much about it. Main Stream Media and the different governments with the US at the fore are ignoring and minimizing the facts of the faulty"science" behind the greatest scam of the century.

I've written about this and other topics in my forum and I invite you to have a look and join in if you are interested.

Read more here.

I had to laugh that Robert Spencer is writing what the government wants him to. Quite the opposite is true in regard to the United States. With B Hussein Obowma at the helm and with his pro Islamic agenda that totally ignores the dangers of Jihad, creeping Jihad, stealth Jihad and Shariah law within the US it's actually funny that you say that Robert Spencer and others like him are singing the song the government wants them to sing.

He and others like him are targets of the present regime that ignores the ever present dangers of Islam and actually defends, protects and minimizes any occurrence that might besmirch Islam and Muslims within the US.

2 of the latest cases to mention are the Jihadi attack on Ft. Hood where 13 were butchered and over 30 wounded and all B Hussein had to say is let's not jump to conclusions. The facts are piling up and yet there are no signs of a congressional investigation cos B Hussein put a stop to them ...so far.

The second case is the arrest of 5 DC students as Jihadi terrorists in Pakistan and once again all B Hussein had to say was...... nothing BUT let's respect all the many contributions of the Muslims in the US and how well integrated they are. What a joke. You can see on his face he's worried his Muslim buddies might be in trouble.



So Robert Spencer is not singing to the tune of the present regime that doesn't even recognize terrorists as a legitimate word and has a multitude of names for them aside from terrorist.

It's thanks to the Robert Spencers, Brigitte Gabrielles, Dr. Ali Sinas,Dr.Zuhdi Jasser (The Third Jihad), Pamella Gellers, Geert Wilders(Fitna) and many others that aren't singing to the government's song and dance that many are being educated and becoming aware of the dangers of Radical Islam/Jihad facing them within the borders of the US, Canada, Europe and most of the Western world.

Here's a video you might find interesting with a former Egyptian Jihad terrorist explaining the dangers of Radical Islam and Jihad that the wold is facing.



Jus tlike Climategate is revealing the faulty science behind Global Warming/Climate Change scam there are other internal issues and international issues that are only being discussed on the internet since the governments are hiding the facts from the people. MSM is lending its hand to the great deceptions and rather then report news creates news and deceives the general populace that still listen to them. That's one of the reasons why they want to control the internet now and close that avenue for unwanted information getting out.

So rest assured we are aware that there are many threats and cabals the governments don't want us to know about and we are on alert to the inherent dangers we are all facing. That's the point of writing about these issues in order to bring it to the attention of those that might not be aware or simply are blind to what's staring them in the face.

The common denominator with all the different issues whether it be the Global Warming scam/Hoax, Islam's agenda for world domination, The Illuminati, Soros and his minions etc. is the control and enslavement of the masses. This is worth fighting against.

Shalom,

Peter

HelloPeter,

If you have an hour tosee the raw facts of global climate change, this is a neet reality of whatpolitical correctness SHOULD be all about.

Enjoy,

Hi Evelyn & Robert,

Thanks for the great article Evelyn. It's excellent and I too wonder how much longer he'll be employed.

The video is excellent Robert and well worth watching. Unfortunately many will simply pass and prefer to remain blind believers in a false religion based on a false religion.

Shalom,

Peter
