Sandy Hook and Benghazi

When one of these tragic events occurs we often look for someone to blame. The events that really struck me recently was Benghazi, and even more tragic, Sandy Hook. I'm not trying to compare the two or tie them together. Just trying to voice my opinion. 

I saw the handwriting on the wall after Sandy Hook. Our government wants stricter gun control laws. If they could disarm all American citizens they would. They want to disarm you; not the Secret Service and various security forces that are heavily armed and protect these worthless imbeciles. When was the last time you heard of anyone breaking into the Senate or the House of Representatives, let alone the Oval Office, and go on a killing spree? They have about as much concern for your individual safety as they do about the deficit. Ironically Washington DC has some of the toughest gun control laws in the nation. They also have the highest rate of homicide. No one knows the exact number of firearms owned by private citizens. The FBI estimates that there are over 200 million privately-owned firearms in the US. Even if there was no such thing as the 2nd Amendment does anyone truly believe  EVERYONE would turn over their guns?

Concerning Benghazi, Hillary who was about to testify conveniently faints and suffers a concussion. Remember now she is a Clinton. Were there any witnesses to this event?  It's starting to smell like the "Bosnian sniper". I guess it is of no consequence since the government has wrapped it all up in a neat little package issuing a statement trying to put a end to yet another scandal referring to it as  "systemic failures" . Washingtonese for EPIC FAIL. I suppose that means there is so much blame to go around they don't know where to begin; so don't blame anybody? Hillary wants to run in 2016 and is trying  to put as much distance between her and Barry as she can. By 2016 this country will be just about ruined finically. The talk on the street is Moody's will follow S&P with another downgrade.

Enter Sandy Hook. The government can't, more likely won't, figure out Benghazi aided by the MSM, but they have all the answers to solve Sandy Hook. Bottom line. It's the guns. Get rid of them... problem solved. Forget about personal responsibility. Forget about addressing people with serious mental issues.

I feel the need to cast a stone here myself. The Sandy Hook shooter Adam Lanza  no matter how you slice it or dice it had a history of mental issues to be sure. The last story I heard if it is correct (this story changes more then the weather) the mother Nancy did volunteer work with kindergarden children at the school and her son was jealous because he thought she was spending too much time with them. To further exacerbate the situation he found out his mother was on the computer looking up web sites to have him committed to a psychiatric facility. This is what investigators believed made him snap. I'm sorry but if someone is to be blamed for this point the finger at the mother. Living alone a single mom the mother felt a need to have guns in the home, not a problem. However, when you have a son who resides with you who has a history of mental disorders Asperger Syndrome, and was seeing a therapist, you have to wonder why, as was  reported, she taught her son how to shoot taking him to a shooting range. You really have to question her judgement here. These guns should have been locked up or at least in a safe place where he couldn't find them. Guns in the hands of people with mental disorders usually winds up in a devastating aftermath of which we just witnessed.  The story I read was she was trying to bond with her son. But why not take him fishing, bowling, etc...anything but shooting! 

And finally what gets me about these guys is they usually wind up killing a group of people then turn the gun on themselves. Too bad they didn't do that first.

As far as blaming God is concerned...

It is hard to conceive what was allowed to happen in Benghazi. On a separate note there are no words to convey my sorrow over the 27 dead in Sandy Hook... 20 of which were children. One of the mothers said of her daughter... "the last time I saw her she was blowing kisses at me from the school bus." Talk about heart wrenching. I can't even begin to imagine what the parents are going through. Please pray for them and the loved ones they left behind.

Sandy Hook and Benghazi

RIP Benghazi

Well the time is upon us again. Time to lay another one to rest.

 The media got the broom and Barry lifted the rug.

Obama scandals are like "Pet Rocks". Remember those? No? How about Beanie Babies? 

The point is no one talks about them anymore. Just like the Obama scandals.

RIP Benghazi

They are referred to as “homo slackass-erectus” created by natural genetic downward evolution through constant spineless posturing, and spasmatic upper limb gestures, which new research has shown to cause shorter legs and an inability to ambulate other than in an awkward shuffling gait. The "drag-crotch" shape also seems to effect brain function.  Expect no eye contact or intelligent verbal communication. History shows that this species mostly voted for Obama and receives food stamps and full government care. Unfortunately most are highly fertile.

Arafat's last words

The thing about Arafat is he's dead. The day he died was a blessed event for all mankind. He died 8 years ago and just now the Palestinian Authority are digging him up to see if he was poisoned. What do you think the odds are they're going to say he died of natural causes? The stupid Palestinians thought their biggest threat was Israel. In reality it was Arafat.

Yasser Arafat’s remains exhumed to see whether he may have been poisoned

JERUSALEM –The remains of Yasser Arafat, the iconic Palestinian leader who died in 2004, were exhumed from his tomb in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Tuesday as part of an inquiry into whether he might have been poisoned, Palestinian officials said.

The probe was ordered after an investigative report on the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera in July presented what it said was evidence of a poisoning, reviving suspicions surrounding Arafat’s death.

The report prompted Arafat’s widow, Suha, to call for an exhumation, which was later authorized by the Palestinian Authority, which governs parts of the West Bank. 

Palestinian officials have long accused Israel of poisoning Arafat, who personified dreams of Palestinian statehood and over decades shifted from embracing terror tactics to negotiating a peace deal, after confining him in his Ramallah compound for more than two years during the second Palestinian uprising.

Israeli officials have dismissed the claims.

Arafat’s remains were disinterred Tuesday at dawn from his tomb in the presidential compound, which was hidden from view by blue tarpaulins. Palestinian doctors took samples and handed them over to French, Swiss and Russian experts, who will examine them in their home countries, officials said. 

“The process and the work of the experts began early in the morning, and as far as I know everything went well, and they were able to collect what was needed,” said Nour Odeh, a spokeswoman for the Palestinian Authority.

Arafat died in a French military hospital in November 2004, at age 75, about two weeks after he was flown from Ramallah when his health deteriorated.

Medical records showed that he had died from a stroke caused by a bleeding disorder stemming from an underlying infection that was never identified.

The French hospital found no traces of poison.

But in its televised report, al-Jazeera said it had turned over some of Arafat’s personal effects — including clothing he had worn before his death, his toothbrush and his trademark black-checked head scarf — to the University of Lausanne’s Institute of Radiation Physics in Switzerland, which tested them and found high levels of the very toxic radioactive isotope polonium 210. The items, stored for years, were given to the television channel by Arafat’s widow and taken to the institute for testing. 

Polonium was identified as the substance that killed Alexander Litvinenko, a former KGB agent who became a critic of the Russian government. Litvinenko died in 2006 after being poisoned in London.

Following a formal complaint lodged by Suha Arafat, French authorities in August opened a murder inquiry into Yasser Arafat’s death.

Experts at the Swiss institute said Arafat’s remains would have to be examined to corroborate any suspicions of poisoning.

But polonium-210 decomposes rapidly, and it was unclear whether the samples taken on Tuesday, years after his death, would provide any conclusive evidence.

In August 2002, the Israeli Military Intelligence Chief alleged that Arafat's personal wealth was in the range of USD $1.3 billion. In 2003 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conducted an audit of the PNA and stated that Arafat diverted $900 million in public funds to a special bank account controlled by Arafat and the PNA Chief Economic Financial adviser. However, the IMF did not claim that there were any improprieties, and it specifically stated that most of the funds had been used to invest in Palestinian assets, both internally and abroad.

However in 2003, a team of American accountants–hired by Arafat's own finance ministry–began examining Arafat's finances; this team reached a different conclusion. The team claimed that part of the Palestinian leader's wealth was in a secret portfolio worth close to $1 billion, with investments in companies like a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ramallah, a Tunisian cell phone company and venture capital funds in the US and the Cayman Islands. The head of the investigation stated that "although the money for the portfolio came from public funds like Palestinian taxes, virtually none of it was used for the Palestinian people; it was all controlled by Arafat. And none of these dealings were made public."

An investigation conducted by the General Accounting Office reported that Arafat and the PLO held over $10 billion in assets even at the time when he was publicly claiming bankruptcy.

Although Arafat lived a modest lifestyle, Dennis Ross, former Middle East negotiator for Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton, stated that Arafat's "walking-around money" financed a vast patronage system known as neopatrimonialism. According to Salam Fayyad—a former World Bank official whom Arafat appointed Finance Minister of the PNA in 2002—Arafat's commodity monopolies could accurately be seen as gouging his own people, "especially in Gaza which is poorer, which is something that is totally unacceptable and immoral." Fayyad claims that Arafat used $20 million from public funds to pay the leadership of the PNA security forces (the Preventive Security Service) alone.

Fuad Shubaki, former financial aide to Arafat, told the Israeli security service Shin Bet that Arafat used several million dollars of aid money to buy weapons and support militant groups. During Israel's Operation Defensive Shield, the Israel army recovered counterfeit money and documents from Arafat's Ramallah headquarters. The documents showed that, in 2001, Arafat personally approved payments to Tanzim terrorists. The Palestinians claimed that the counterfeit money was confiscated from criminal elements.

Arafat's last words

When scratching your head won't work

I was flicking through the channels the other day and came upon the "Ed Show". Hard to believe what the hell I was watching. 

Here was a white guy so excited I thought he was going to piss his pants. Chris Matthews had a leg cramp compared to this guy! In the year 2024, according to him, there will be so many Hispanics and blacks living in Texas it will become a blue state. Alarming to say the least. But to this guy, watching the demise of his fellow Caucasians was exhilarating. I mean the guy was ecstatic. Undoubtedly if 5 or 6 more red states go blue he'll have to be sedated. Who knew watching the downfall, slowly but steadily, of your own race changing into the new minority could be so mesmerizing? The Democratic party that once existed during the Truman and Kennedy years is no more. Progressives embracing the "browning of America" is the fashionable new way of cutting their own throat without the aid of a knife.  It reminds me of that old Twilight Zone episode when friendly "aliens" came to earth with the goal of how to serve man. Everything worked out fine until the earthlings found out they were the main course.
