The present crisis still unfolding in Japan is horrible beyond human ability to express- but there is a critically important lesson we must learn from this unspeakable disaster. Many months ago I warned that our runaway national debt, since then having been greatly exacerbated by additional mindless Congressional deficit spending, would weaken our ability to meet the strenuous demands of significant natural disasters of our own- or myriad manmade crises like those presently developing throughout the Middle East.
Moreover, our foreign military involvement is now characterized by a never-ending quagmire in Afghanistan, failure to execute an overdue withdrawal from Iraq- and now another expansion of unwise global military intervention.
On 15 April 1986 President Reagan rightfully ordered air strikes against Libya in response to terrorism against American citizens. Said President Reagan, “When our citizens are attacked or abused anywhere in the world on the direct orders of hostile regimes, we will respond so long as I’m in this office.”
It is now apparent that the Lockerbie bombing of 12 December 1988 was personally ordered by Muammar Gaddafi- and decisive US action against the Libyan dictator is subsequently justified. However, having waged two costly foreign wars in Iraq to remove a single person from power, not to mention the continuing debacle in Afghanistan, are we now willing to invade yet another country to remove a rogue dictator from power? With pinpoint firepower capability further enabled by unmatched military intelligence, do we really need to wreak havoc on an entire nation to kill a single man and his inner circle? And once we destroy a nation’s infrastructure, how do we not put boots on the ground to repair the damage?
Yes, using the overwhelming force of our military to neutralize a single man is bad enough- but I’ve other objections to the massive military assault on Libya.
In 1994 the Rwanda genocide took the lives of roughly 750,000 Tutsis and also 50,000 moderate Hutus who did not support the genocide. For all practical purposes, we did nothing to stop it. In 2008 hundreds of Christians in Kenya were massacred after Raila Odinga lost his presidential bid- murders for which Barry Obama was partly responsible, due to his personal appearances in Kenya as a US Senator in support of his communist Luo cousin. We did nothing to stop the bloodshed. By June of 2008 in Darfur, the UN had already put the death count in this genocide at over 300,000. And what about our own American genocide waged against our unborn? Somali pirates have terrorized the Gulf at Aden for over a decade. Their kidnapping/murdering continues at will. Mexican drug lords continue to wreak havoc in that country- the rising death toll now over 30,000. What have we really done to stop the bloodshed and protect our own citizens along the southern border and in Mexico?
So why Libya? What makes the civil war in Libya so different? It’s all about the money- all about the oil. Iraq was also largely about oil- and the natural resources of Afghanistan have not gone unnoticed by international corporations. The sanctity of human life is only important to the international banking cartel and the greedy global corporate interests it controls when protecting humanity can be used as sufficient excuse to further elitist goals.
Also, there is the sticky question of Obama acting unilaterally without approval of Congress to involve the United States in yet another foreign conflict.
But this is not all. Barry’s leadership in a crisis can at best be characterized as non-leadership. Newt Gingrich on 21 March 2011: “The more the President golfs- the more President hides…” I do not support Newt’s run for the Presidency, because I fear his own globalist ties. Nevertheless, his current observations regarding Barry Obama’s failure to provide credible leadership in time of crisis are helping our conservative cause by accentuating the Kenyan playboy’s penchant for laying low when overripe bananas hit the fan.
I have openly predicted that Barry Obama will be gone from the White House by late summer of 2011. More and more people are questioning Obama’s constitutional eligibility to be President. Barry’s inability to lead is coming under increasing scrutiny from both right and left. He is often perceived as both cavalier and incompetent- even a playboy. As recently pointed out on FNC, he seems more concerned with his basketball picks for the Final Four than numerous dire situations presently developing around the world.
In summary, we are a nation in crisis. Our unsustainable national debt has dramatically reduced our long-term ability to properly address natural disasters and other serious threats to our national security. We have an arrogant fool for a President- and a Congress that has thus far failed to adequately curtail deficit spending. Our Constitution hangs by a thread. Our failing fiat currency is issued and controlled by private interests- just as Thomas Jefferson warned. Our crumbling economy remains on the brink- overly dependent on foreign oil. As a nation, we are more concerned about political correctness than offending Almighty God. Will Jokin’ Joe Biden become President before the first frost?
