WHITE HOUSE - OBAMA'S JUNKET TRAVEL AGENCY AS HE DESTROYS THE WORLD
HAPPY PERSIAN NEW YEAR 1390 - MARCH 20TH, 2011 - 4:20 p.m.
(Pacific Summer Time)
===================================
Brazilian press discloses Obama's entourage on his Brazilian trip consists of 1,000 people! Including his whole family and his MOTHER-IN-LAW! What is she doing on this trip?
A Spring Break "family vacation"? Sure! Paid by whom?
Taxpayers for all the 1,000 persons he has taken along pretending to be on official business and putting it on the taxpayer's tab?
Like the "big business" persons he is taking to help Brazilian Petrobras (SIGNIFICANT Soros offshore drilling investments. Obama has denied permits for offshore operations in America but is FUNDING in Brazil using taxpayer funds - over $2 BILLION to advance their efforts). And announcing that America will be Brazil's biggest oil purchaser!
 |
| Plug American Oil Drilling, bankrupt Coal energy, to force purchase from Brazil after Saudi fields destroyed. Oh! And make Master, Soros, richer. |
Wonder how Saudi Arabia feels at being kicked in the gut by Oba-Hussein after all the support they gave him? While Iran chortles with pleasure.

BRAZILIAN WELCOME!
Upon arrival in Rio, the secret service agent told Obama not to deplane yet.
'Sir, there are Brazilians protesting your visit.'
Obama said, 'a Brazilian. That sounds like a lot.'
He reportedly has this "personal ass istant" on hand. (smile) (Where's Reggie Love?)
With sports the ONLY thing he half-way understands, Obama is playing basketball in his politics. He runs and weaves to avoid situations he encounters but fails to shoot for the hoop and enjoys the locker rooms more than the game itself. With total encouragement and immunity, hand-picked thugs on his team thump anyone on the other side, regardless of game rules.
Like his golf, where he plays against himself so cannot lose, he avoids taking any position where he could lose - EXCEPT toward "we the people" whom he treats with utter disdain and disrespect. Almost as his slaveys which he controls with his thuggish criminal actions.
There are so many conflicting interests in all these global matters that were not initially apparent as the Russians and Chinese held back to see what we would be doing, now come down against the intervention in Libya.
WORST OF ALL, WE DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY "THE OPPOSITION" TO GHADDAFI ARE! WHO IS BEHIND THEM, THEIR LEADERS, THEIR PHILOSOPHIES, THEIR POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. NOTHING!
YET WE SPENT $70 MILLION IN TWO DAYS ON 120 TOMAHAWK MISSILES WE FIRED AT LIBYA without knowing whom we were promoting and protecting!
Can't be much worse than Ghaddafi BUT are they any better? Are we replacing one nightmare with a different Islamic one? An Al Qaeda supported and supporting group?
Do we even know? Aparently we DO NOT!
Even the Arab League in Cairo, realizing the unexpected, unforeseen consequences of their "approval" is now back-pedalling. Libya could be a forerunner of an attack on Egypt when the Suez Canal situation, under the nascent rising power of the Moslem Brotherhood, endangers traffic through it and demands a repeat invasion by Western forces to protect global interests/consequences far more urgently dire than protecting the lives of Libyan civilians among the opposition to Ghaddafi.
Sunni Islam's Saudi military intervention in mostly Shia Bahrain, at the Sunni Bahrain King's request, which used to be considered a province of Iran and the selective destruction of Shia mosques to root out rebellious leaders and arms or subversive supplies hidden in them by Iran, (as is so often the case in mosques or worldwide) will almost certainly bring Israel into the fray - ON THE SIDE of Saudi Arabia.
If Iran, therefore, sends rockets at Saudi oil fields, easily in range from inside Iran, Saudi Arabia, which already offered Israel permission to overfly Saudi air space to conduct air strikes on Iran, will call on the Arab world for support AND privately ask Israel for reciprocal help.
With Obama fast becoming a fair weather friend to Saudi Arabia and a liability to the West and America, favoring his other master, George Soros and the latter's oil investments in Brazil and Obama's clear hatred of Israel in support of his Palestinian terrorist buddies, this would be a good opportunity for Israel to "remove" Iranian nuclear threat to the whole world not just to Israel. If need be using their own nuclear capability, with some modicum of tacit international support and back channel applause.
And choosing the lesser of two evils of being destroyed anyway by Iran and Iranian regional surrogates or making a last stand and going down (if that happens) with a nasty, disabling strike against their worst foe - Iran.
Interesting how a frustrated Hillary Clinton has already announced that she will not continue as Secretary of State for much longer and former President Clinton has increasingly OPENLY berated Obambi for being the most ineffective and "absent" President America has ever had the misfortune to have in office.
Including the futile Jimmy Carter administration, which proved politically and financially "almost lethal" to the USA while ObaZero is on track to end the job and crash not only America's economy but even the whole world's.
The international meeting next week to reconsider world currency rates and interaction and probably remove the U.S. Dollar as the world's floor currency replacing it with a basket of currencies, could well mean a drop of at least 40% or more in the value of the dollar almost overnight!
WHO DO YOU THINK MAKES OUT LIKE A BANDIT IF THAT HAPPENS? Yes, George Soros, who has bet against the Dollar in the currency markets for a long time and makes billions with every drop in the dollar 's value. Even he is disappointed with his Oval Office enabler as Obambi plays golf and basketball and endangers the world beyond repair!

OBAMA UNDER-ESTIMATES HIS BUDGET DEFICIT BY $2.3 T R I L L I O N !!!
MUST VIEW! MUST VIEW! Listen to Senator Sessions spell it out as it really is - not as OBAMA PRETENDS it to be.
The Congressional Budget Office estimate says that if Obama’s February budget submission were enacted into law it would produce deficits totaling $9.5 trillion – an average of almost $1 trillion a year.
Obama’s budget foresaw deficits totaling $7.2 trillion over the same period.
The difference is chiefly because CBO has a less optimistic estimate of how much the government will take in from tax revenues, partly because the administration has rosier economic projections.
(And cheats by not counting HUGE interest payments on our debt as part of the package)
The Senate is also worried about the president’s budget numbers.
This exchange between Jeff Sessions, the Republican Senator from Alabama, and Heather Higginbottom, the new nominee for Deputy Director of OMB, is from Higginbottom’s confirmation hearing, which took place yesterday. Sessions grills Higginbottom about Obama’s budget, and boy is it painful to watch HER TRY TO AVOID FACTS.
ALSO video on the fact that the world's largest investment group PIM has dropped all USA debt from their portfolio!!

THIN BULLY BITES OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW
Since we cannot embed the video, here is a link to a site where you can view it.

or
http://randazza.wordpress.com/2011/03/15/this-is-how-you-stop-bullying-casey-heynes-ftw/
or do a Bing or Google search on "Casey Heynes" and check out the various locations the video still exists. this short video has gone viral so the "holier than thou" attempts to suppress it are a bit ludicrous.
THIS WAS THE FOURTH OR FIFTH LINK/EMBED OF THIS VIDEO WHICH KEEPS ON BEING PULLED OFF THE INERNET SITES BUT CAN STILL BE FOUND AS PEOPLE ENSURE ITS AVAILABILITY.
Why are the thin boy (Richard Gale's) actions not tagged as an assault? And the big boy's (Casey) as justified self-defence? He reportedly gets suspended for reacting to being punched in the face more than once? He turned the other cheek more than once then deservedly upended the tormenter.

HEY! FOOLS! I TALK THE TALK BUT WHY WALK THE WALK?
And where I come from, telling lies to infidels is called "taghiya" and is permitted and encouraged by my Moslem faith, so my lies don't count! Specially when made to protect or promote Islam and my ambitions, which are more important than what Americans want.
HAPPY NOW RUZ (PERSIAN NEW YEAR) پیوستگی * پایداری * پیروزی
SUNDAY MARCH 20th AT 4:20:48 PM PACIFIC SUMMER TIME IN CALIFORNIA
The Persian calendar will move into the year 1370 (year 2570 of Monarchy in Iran) at that time just as we "cross" at midnight in the Western world. March 20th-21st is the first day of the Persian year. Though the 21st will the first full day like our January 1st.
We are already in the final 10-days of our third month when their first month starts.
Months are also different, not only in name but very closely follow the dates structure of the signs of the Zodiac. Makes it challenging for Persians asked to provide western dates if they cannot figure out the formula.
One of the traditions of Now Ruz consists of laying out as lovely a decoration as you can put together, consisting of SEVEN items starting with the letter "s". (Haft/seven Seen/"s" in Persian). Two classic versions can be seen in the cards. The middle card is from a "military" aligned group called Sarbaz (soldier) as a New Year greeting to those who oppose the regime.
Those three cards at:

ON ITS WAY TO AMERICA - OBA-HUSSEIN'S FINANCIAL TSUNAMI
This solitary, weeping Japanese woman and the destruction seen behind her represent the tears, misery and unbelievable hardships we are about to face in America as we run out of money, as nobody buys our debt and we have nowhere to go to fund our country.
Obama, not Bush, exploded any problems he was handed, out of all proportion - as like a drunken sailor Obama spent money we did not have (maxed out and overdrew our credit cards and bank acounts beyond repair, to put it into man in the street terms) to satisfy his inexperienced, self-indulgent, fanatical ideology - and long standing hate of capitalist America.
He is a man-child thug suddenly given a huge toy with which to play without any touch of responsibility for what he does nor any oversight he cannot by-pass in Chicago gangster fashion. Nor any experience on the subject of governance, never having to budget, operate or make a success of anything as small as a hot dog stand.
When faced with any challenge he simply avoids dealing with it till someone else does so, enjoying himself without any pang of conscience, playing golf or taping a feckless SPORTS video or not changing a pre-planned teleprompted speech on gender to address Japan beyond a couple of sentences and going through with a South American trip which PLEASES him but has no significance in the solution to current world disorder/disaster, which he wants to avoid and thus uses any excuse to do so and "vote present" (actually absent) instead of taking a stand.
Meanwhile you and I and America are being flushed down the toilet by his inadequacy - intentional or otherwise.
Question: has he already damaged us past the point of rescue by responsible adults? Even if they were allowed by this narcissist to enter his play room instead of locked out in favor of weird czars, Moslem terrorists, Trade Union advisors like Trumke and puppet-masters like Soros? And mindlessly cheered on by a left-wing Lame-stream Media, who are cutting off their noses to spite their face.

WAKE UP! ENJOY THE LAST OF YOUR FAST DISAPPEARING COMFORTS
As Treasury Cash Drops To Just $14.2 Billion, And No Bond Auctions Until Next Week, Is America About To Run Out Of Cash?
And so the US Treasury has hit the proverbial paycheck to paycheck sustenance level. After burning $12.8 billion (without a change in gross debt) in cash today alone, and $75 billion in the month of March so far, primarily driven by a back end-loaded tax refund calendar, according to the Daily Treasury Statement, today's cash balance dropped to the scary level of just $14.2 billion.
Without the benefit of incremental funding, this is the same amount that the Treasury burns on a good day!
In other words, we take back what we said about the US Treasury existing paycheck to paycheck - Geithner now has to scramble to find funding on a day to day basis. If tomorrow operating outflows surpass $14.2 billion (and, again, the amount was $12.8 billion today) the world's "greatest" country (i.e. banana republic) runs out of cash, period.
And as the following schedule indicates, there are no Long-Term bond issuances until next week (and the Bill issues are merely funding of rolling issues), we have some trouble seeing how the US Treasury will fund itself for the balance of the week...
Far worse than the nuclear meltdown in Japan is the economic meltdown in progress right now in the USA and globally because our "dear leader" has no clue how to govern or what that even means since he has never done it before. He could not even run a fast food stand in Indonesia.
The Japanese who were one of the major buyers of our debt are now in need of their money for internal use so cannot continue to buy up ours (act as our credit card). The question pending is: are they just going to stop buying our bonds OR are they going to sell off the ones they already hold. And crash our Dollar?
Already PMI the largest bond dealer in the world has jettisoned all US bonds. With the best in the game dropping our bonds how long before every other major or even minor dealer follows suit?
Meanwhile ObaZero plays golf and avoids dealing with any of the major pressing matters we face as a nation and as a world! He even outdoes President Carter as the most inept, inadequate and useless leader at one of the worst times in our recent history. Which he has actively helped create and grow.
To try to go on the defensive, fiscal and financial "experts" are now touting inflation as a stop gap measure - printing more money - as it loses value precisely for that reason.
On the other side of the ledger, total debt was $14.164 trillion, with $50 billion left in the liquidating SFP account.
That means there are just two more 56-Day CMB maturities left before the credit ceiling gimmick expires. Once that happens, and in the absence of any clarity on the debt ceiling debacle, America may soon grind to a halt as the incremental debt capacity is hit in just over a month.
As if all that were not enough, ObaZero's weakness and supporting Palestinians, who hate America, has resulted in two of the murderers of the Fogel family being trained by USA military Generals.
Two members of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' official security forces were arrested in conjunction with this past weekend's bloody massacre in which five family members were brutally stabbed to death inside their home in the Jewish village of Itamar, WND has learned.
'snip'
Two cousins are now in Israeli custody and are suspected in the slayings. Ahmed Awad is an officer in Abbas' Preventative Security Services in the northern West Bank city of Nablis. Iyad Awad is an officer in Abbas' General Intelligence services in Ramallah.
Both the Preventative and General Intelligence services of Fatah are armed, trained and funded by the U.S. - YOUR STOLEN/redistributed TAX DOLLARS AT WORK.
Unreal! Our tax dollars arming and training monsters in human skin who cut the throats of children and 3-month old babies. THUS, MOTIVATED AND ENCOURAGED BY OBA-HUSSEIN!!!
THE PHOTOS ARE DISTURBING but make the point.
Plus the reaction of ObaZero's Moslem Palestinian brothers was to rejoice and pass out cakes and sweets to the public in the streets.
http://terrornewsbriefs.blogspot.com/2011/03/palestinians-just-did-this.html
Since the tens of thousands of naive idiots elected him, though many now have buyer's remorse, we have had nothing but evil descend upon us and the world at his inadequate hands.
One look at the world today and how he mishandles it, many appear to think on purpose, it is hard to deny those who call him the antichrist.

WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH, CALL A WARTHOG!
When things get thick, call a wart hog…..
First there was this gun ....
Someone said, "Let's put it in an airplane."
Someone else said, "Better still, let's build an airplane around it."
So they did. And "they" were the Fairchild-Republic airplane people.
And they had done such a good job with an airplane they developed back in WWII .
...called the P-47 Thunderbolt, they decided to call it the A10 Thunderbolt.
They made it so it was very good at flying low and slow and shooting things with that fabulous gun.
But since it did fly low and slow, they made it bulletproof, or almost so. A lot of bad guys have found you can shoot an A10 with anything from a pistol to a 23mm Soviet cannon and it just keeps on flying and shooting.
When they got through, it looked like this ....
It's not sleek and sexy like an F18 or the stealthy Raptors and such, but I think it's such a great airplane because it does what it does better than any other plane in the world.
It kills tanks.
Not only tanks, as Sadam Hussein's boys found out to their horror, but armored personnel carriers, radar stations, locomotives, bunkers, fuel depots ... just about anything the bad guys thought was bulletproof turned out to be easy pickings for this beast.
They were smart enough to make every part the same whether mounted on the left side or right side of the plane, like landing gear, for instance.
Because the engines are mounted so high (away from ground debris) and the landing gear uses such low pressure tires, it can operate from a damaged airport, interstate highway, plowed field, or dirt road.
Everything is redundant. They have two of almost everything. Sometimes they have three of something. Like flight controls. There's triple redundancy of those, and even if there is a total failure of the double hydraulic system, there is a set of manual flying controls.
It's so hard to grasp just how powerful it is.
This is the closest I could find to showing you just what this cartridge is all about. What the guy is holding is NOT the 30mm round, but a "little" .50 Browning machinegun round and the 20mm cannon round which has been around for a long time.
The 30mm is MUCH bigger.
Let's get some perspective here: The .223 Rem (M16 rifle round) is fast. It shoots a 55 or so grain bullet at about 3300 feet/sec, give or take. It's the fastest of all those rounds shown (except one). When you move up to the .30 caliber rounds, the bullets jump up in weight to 160-200 grains. Speeds run from about 2600 to 3000 fps or so.
The ..338 Lapua is the king of the sniper rifles these days and shoots a 350 grain bullet at 2800 fps or so. They kill bad guys at over a mile with that one.
The .50 BMG is really big. Mike Beasley has one on his desk. Everyone who picks it up thinks it's some sort of fake, unless they know big ammo. It's really huge with a bullet that weighs 750 grains and goes as fast the Lapua.
I don't have data on the Vulcan, but hang on to your hat.
The bullet for the 30x173 Avenger has an aluminum jacket around a spent uranium core and weighs 6560 grains (yes, over 100 t imes as heavy as the M16 bullet, and flies through the air at 3500 fps (which is faster than the M16 as well).
The gun shoots at a rate of 4200 rounds per minute. Yes, four thousand. Pilots typically shoot either one- or two-second burst which set loose 70 to 150 rounds. The system is optimized for shooting at 4,000 feet.
OK, the best for last.
You've got a pretty good idea of how big that cartridge is, but I'll bet you're like me and you don't fully appreciate how big the GA GAU-8 Avenger really is.
Take a look ....
Down at the bottom are the .50 BMG and 20x102 Vulcan the fellow was holding. At the bottom right is the bad boy we're discussing.

First there was this gun ....
It was developed by General Electric, the "We bring good things to life" people. It's one of the modern-day Gatling guns. It shoots very big bullets. It shoots them very quickly.
Someone said, "Let's put it in an airplane."
Someone else said, "Better still, let's build an airplane around it."
And they had done such a good job with an airplane they developed back in WWII .

See those engines. One of them alone will fly this puppy. The pilot sits in a very thick titanium alloy "bathtub."
That's typical of the designThey were smart enough to make every part the same whether mounted on the left side or right side of the plane, like landing gear, for instance.
Because the engines are mounted so high (away from ground debris) and the landing gear uses such low pressure tires, it can operate from a damaged airport, interstate highway, plowed field, or dirt road.
Everything is redundant. They have two of almost everything. Sometimes they have three of something. Like flight controls. There's triple redundancy of those, and even if there is a total failure of the double hydraulic system, there is a set of manual flying controls.
Capt. Kim Campbell sustained this damage over Baghdad and flew for another hour before returning to base. But, back to that gun ....
The 30mm is MUCH bigger.
Down at the bottom are the .50 BMG and 20x102 Vulcan the fellow was holding. At the bottom right is the bad boy we're discussing.
Let's get some perspective here: The .223 Rem (M16 rifle round) is fast. It shoots a 55 or so grain bullet at about 3300 feet/sec, give or take. It's the fastest of all those rounds shown (except one). When you move up to the .30 caliber rounds, the bullets jump up in weight to 160-200 grains. Speeds run from about 2600 to 3000 fps or so.
The ..338 Lapua is the king of the sniper rifles these days and shoots a 350 grain bullet at 2800 fps or so. They kill bad guys at over a mile with that one.
The .50 BMG is really big. Mike Beasley has one on his desk. Everyone who picks it up thinks it's some sort of fake, unless they know big ammo. It's really huge with a bullet that weighs 750 grains and goes as fast the Lapua.
I don't have data on the Vulcan, but hang on to your hat.
The bullet for the 30x173 Avenger has an aluminum jacket around a spent uranium core and weighs 6560 grains (yes, over 100 t imes as heavy as the M16 bullet, and flies through the air at 3500 fps (which is faster than the M16 as well).
The gun shoots at a rate of 4200 rounds per minute. Yes, four thousand. Pilots typically shoot either one- or two-second burst which set loose 70 to 150 rounds. The system is optimized for shooting at 4,000 feet.
OK, the best for last.
You've got a pretty good idea of how big that cartridge is, but I'll bet you're like me and you don't fully appreciate how big the GA GAU-8 Avenger really is.
Take a look ....
