Obamatrade: an Open Door for China
Post Date: 2015-12-22 13:59:28 by nativist nationalist

President Obama sold Obamacare by telling us “If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance.” Now he is selling Obamtrade, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, by telling us “If we don’t write the rules for the global economy, China will.” Once again, the White House spin doesn’t line up with the facts. And once again, people who should know better are buying the spin. In fact, TPP – which Obama calls an essential part of his foreign policy ‘pivot to Asia’ – will do nothing to curb China. It will actually help China “write the rules” for the global economy. Obamatrade amounts to an Open Door policy that will allow China to ...

Yazidi survivor Nadia Murad Basee Taha described to the United Nations Security Council the horrific ordeal she endured while the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) used her as a sex slave. “Rape was used to destroy women and girls and to guarantee that these women could never lead a normal life again,” she declared. WARNING! VERY GRAPHIC CONTENT. The terrorists raped Taha until she passed out. The sadistic terrorist group captured Taha in August 2014 as they expanded their caliphate across Iraq and Syria. They consider Yazidis “devil-worshippers” and wish to wipe the minority religion sect off the planet. Taha explained: Along the way, they humiliated us. They touched us and ...

The butchier-than-thou vibe of the last GOP debate reached its apogee when Chris Christie proclaimed his no-fly zone over Syria and then threatened to shoot Russian planes out of the sky. Rand Paul was impressed. "If you want World War Three," he said, "there's your candidate." Actually, on the fifth anniversary of the Arab "Spring", I get the feeling World War Three is coming with or without Chris Christie - for the same reasons that World Wars One and Two came: the order enforcers can no longer enforce order, and the provocateurs know it, and in that kind of environment stray peripheral threads can unravel the entire geopolitical quilt. The talk at the ...
How Peace is Maintained between Hindus and Muslims in India–“Fear Of Mob Fury”

When Muslims burned 59 Hindus alive in 2002, rioting Hindus killed up to 2000 Muslims. Muslims in India aren't peaceful--they're cautious. In the December 15th GOP debate, Ted Cruz said that … there are millions of peaceful Muslims across the world in countries like India where there are not the problems we are seeing in nations that have territories controlled by al Qaeda or ISIS… In a recent blog post, Washington Watcher points out examples of Muslim Indian terrorism to show that, yes, it happens there too. At 14% of the population, Muslims comprise a minority in India. But remember that we’re talking about India, with a total population over 1.2 billion. So ...

Fed Hike Economy Down, Assad Stays in Syria, ISIS Gets Texas Truck By Greg Hunter On December 18, 2015 In Weekly News Wrap-Ups 82 Comments 1By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (WNW 220, 12.18.15) The Fed finally did it. It raised a key short term rate by a quarter of a point. That is not the real story. The real story is how the non-functioning mainstream press swallowed the economic recovery story hook, line and sinker. Fed Head Janet Yellen boasted “The economic recovery has come a long way . . . .” Not a single reporter brought up new data that the Baltic Dry Index (released just a few days earlier) had hit record lows clearly signaling a downward spiraling global economy. ...

“If you’re in favor of World War III, you have your candidate.” So said Rand Paul, looking directly at Gov. Chris Christie, who had just responded to a question from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer as to whether he would shoot down a Russian plane that violated his no-fly zone in Syria. “Not only would I be prepared to do it, I would do it,” blurted Christie: “I would talk to Vladimir Putin … I’d say to him, ‘Listen, Mr. President, there’s a no-fly zone in Syria; you fly in, it applies to you.’ “Yes, we would shoot down the planes of Russian pilots if in fact they were stupid enough to think that this president was the same feckless ...

(CNN)—Donald Trump has said that he would "get along very well" with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The feeling is apparently mutual. Putin offered high praise for the billionaire businessman-turned-Republican presidential front-runner on Thursday during an annual news conference with reporters. "He is a bright and talented person without any doubt," Putin said, adding that Trump is "an outstanding and talented personality." And in remarks closely mirroring Trump's assessment of the campaign, the Russian leader called Trump "the absolute leader of the presidential race," according to the Russian TASS news agency. Later Thursday, ...

I've disagreed with David Frum on many things in recent years, but this piece on immigration is great because it's packed with facts: Minnesota is home to America's largest Somali community, 33,000 people. The unemployment rate for Somali Minnesotans in 2015 was triple the state average, 21 percent. As of 2014, about 5,950 of the state's Somali population received cash assistance; 17,000 receive food assistance as of 2014. A close study of Somali refugees by the government of Maine (home to the nation's second-largest Somali community) found that fewer than half of the working-age population had worked at any time in the five years from 2001 through 2006. The U.S. ...
Turkey's Dangerous Game

Turkey's duplicity threatens the entire region Turkey borders several Middle Eastern countries that are either unstable or potentially hostile to it, sometimes both simultaneously. With a modern military of more than 600,000 underwritten by NATO membership it is regional superpower whose ability to dominate the politics of its neighbors is sometimes exercised. Turkey has a large and educated population, a vibrant diversified economy and is at the crossroads of east and west, Asia and Europe. Together with Egypt, it is truly the indispensable nation if anyone wants to seriously consider influencing developments in the Near East. It is perhaps Turkey’s indispensability that is part ...
Iraq says Turkey must pull out all its troops after partial withdrawal

Turkey must pull all its forces out of a camp in northern Iraq, a spokesman for the Iraqi prime minister said on Tuesday after Turkey withdrew some troops from the area. The deployment of around 150 Turkish troops to a camp near the northern Iraqi city of Mosul earlier this month has strained relations between Ankara and Baghdad, which protested to the United Nations. Turkey said on Monday that some of its troops had begun leaving, but Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi's spokesman said it was not enough. "The position of the government of Iraq is still the same: Turkey must pull out this force to the international borders and not reorganize its deployment," Saad al-Hadithi ...

Saudi Special Forces Commander Among Slain in Attack on Base In what appears to be the single deadliest strike of the nine-month Saudi war in Yemen, forces loyal to the Shi’ite Houthis fired an OTR-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missile at a pro-Saudi coalition base near Taiz, with early reports putting the death toll around 152 troops. The identities of all the slain are still being sorted out, but dozens of foreign troops are among the slain, including Saudi Special Forces commander Col. Abdullah Sahyan. Emirati and Moroccan soldiers were also identified as among the slain. The Houthis reported the attack was carried out by one of the nation’s few remaining Tochka missiles, and ...

MOSCOW (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday accepted Russia's long-standing demand that President Bashar Assad's future be determined by his own people, as Washington and Moscow edged toward putting aside years of disagreement over how to end Syria's civil war. "The United States and our partners are not seeking so-called regime change," Kerry told reporters in the Russian capital after meeting President Vladimir Putin. A major international conference on Syria would take place later this week in New York, Kerry announced. Kerry reiterated the U.S. position that Assad, accused by the West of massive human rights violations and chemical weapons ...

It’s Time to Stop “Supporting Our Troops” By Joachim Hagopian December 13, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - With the 115 year old tradition of the annual Army-Navy football classic on Saturday, the so called “America’s game” and “rivalry for the ages” is now once again upon us. This occasion never fails to pay reverent homage to America’s so called “cream of the crop” elitist military academies and always from the president to celebrities Americans give tribute to our armed forces. At this time we hear that familiar patriotic mantra “support our troops” mindlessly repeated. So it seems appropriate now to take a ...

KARLSRUHE - Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Sunday she wanted to "drastically decrease" the number of refugees coming to Germany, signaling a compromise to critics of her open-door policy from within her conservatives on the eve of a party congress. Merkel has resisted pressure from allies within her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to put a cap on the number of refugees entering Germany, which is expected to top 1 million this year. "At the same time we took on board the concerns of the people, who are worried about the future, and this means we want to reduce, we want to drastically decrease the number of people coming to us," Merkel told broadcaster ARD.

None of us had to flee,” the Syrian freely admitted. The Assad regime is cruel and unjust, but you can live in Syria, if you just don’t mess with it.” Peymani then asked if the Syrian had then fled from the Islamic State terrorists. The ...

Key Points of the Final Paris Climate Draft LE BOURGET, France — It still needs to pass by consensus, and given the tortured history of United Nations climate negotiations, that is not a sure thing. But the 31-page document released by the French government on Saturday afternoon could be a turning point in the struggle to contain global warming, according to several experts who have been scrutinizing the small but momentous changes to the document’s wording. Here are some highlights of the latest version. •It calls for “holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the ...

Reports from the recent weeks in the Arab media, and in particular the Lebanese media, indicate that the political forces in Lebanon are close to agreeing on the nomination of MP Suleiman Frangieh for president, after an 18-month period in which the country has been without a president. The reports also indicate that both Saudi Arabia and Iran welcome his nomination. In fact, reports from the recent days imply that the progress regarding this issue in Lebanon is the result of "a new atmosphere on the international and regional level," as the Saudi daily Al-Hayat put it, and of a dialogue recently launched by Saudi Arabia and Iran to discuss various matters in dispute, including ...
Power Struggle Between Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei's Ideological Camp And Rafsanjani's Pragmatic Camp Intensifies – Part I: Khamenei Blocks Iran's Implementation Of The JCPOA

Introduction In advance of the February 2016 elections in Iran for both the Majlis and the Assembly of Experts, and in light of Hashemi Rafsanjani's November 25, 2015 announcement that he will run for the Assembly of Experts, the power struggle between the pragmatic camp, which Rafsanjani leads, and the ideological camp, led by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, has intensified. It now centers on two main focal points: 1. Khamenei's blocking of Iran's implementation of the JCPOA. After Khamenei halted the implementation of the JCPOA in his October 21, 2015 letter to Iranian President Hassan Rohani,[1] all the representatives of the regime announced their support for Khamenei's ...

The US and the Rise of ISIS By Stephen Zunes December 10, 2015 "Information Clearing House" - "NCR" - The rise of ISIS (also known as Daesh, ISIL, or the "Islamic State") is a direct consequence of the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq. While there are a number of other contributing factors as well, that fateful decision is paramount. Had Congress not authorized President George W. Bush the authority to illegally invade a country on the far side of the world that was no threat to us, and to fund the occupation and bloody counter-insurgency war that followed, the reign of terror ISIS has imposed upon large swathes of Syria and Iraq and the recent terrorist ...
