Few people actually recognize the influence of Turkey as the intentional new Middle East gatekeeper post Gadaffi.  But let there be no doubt Turkey retains a vastly superior influence over the Islamification of the West than any other national head.

 ANKARA, FEBRUARY 19 – Some 17,000 new mosques have been built during Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s 10 years of leadership, Milliyet reports.

In the same period the amount of public schools has remained at 32,000 while the number of mosques has jumped from 76,000 to 93,000. Turkey’s secular opposition has accused Erdogan of having a ”secret plan” to re-Islamisize the nation. (more…)

No wonder he sold his TV station to Al Jazeera.

Could it be perhaps they too recognize how insufferably unqualified for the job he is ?   Nah.

“I understand some of them have actually called the White House and said, “Is Hagel going to withdraw, would he consider withdrawing?” The answer is an emphatic “no,” but remember John Erlichman–Nixon’s aide–used to talk about twisting slowly in the wind.”

For some unknown reason during the analysis of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State a remarkable segment of the historical reference is never brought up.   What about the WikiLeaks release of State Dept emails disparaging virtually every nation in November 2010?

[…]  The massive leak includes 243,270 reports sent by U.S. embassies around the world to the State Department, and 8,017 directives sent to them by the State Department. A vast mix of political assessments, reports of private talks with foreign officials, hearsay and gossip – including unflattering comments about leaders allied with the U.S. – the leaked cables have become a major embarrassment to the U.S. and especially Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

WikiLeaks provided the documents to six major world newspapers: the New York Times, the UK Guardian, Spain’s El Pais, France’s Le Monde and Germany’s Der Spiegel.

[…] The most explosive WikiLeaks revelation may be a classified July 2009 State Department directive, under Hillary Clinton’s name, that asked U.S. diplomatic staff at the United Nations to obtain credit card numbers, computer passwords and encryption codes, frequent-flyer account details, even “biographic and biometric information” (such as DNA, fingerprints, etc.), for UN officials, including Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and Security Council representatives, and also for personnel of nongovernmental agencies.

We keep wondering if any media outlet, or any outlet for that matter, will ever mention the entire second year of her term (2010/2011) being devoted to travelling around the world apologizing for her own staffs’ highly visible opinions. (more…)

….Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up….

(FULL STORY) Minneapolis South High is boasted as a progressive multicultural paradise. It is half white and half a mixture of several other groups. It has a large group of Somalians and prides itself on offering special classes for Somalians,

The joys of multiculturalism boiled over into a massive lunch hour battle involving over 200 blacks and Somalians. a small army of police had to be called in, who then hosed the rioters with pepper spray.

Local media is downplaying the war. However, students are stating on twitter that the fight was between blacks and Somalians. (more…)

Once again the appeasement POTUS fails on the international stage of influence.  Last week the White House announced it was willing to talk to Iran face-to-face.   Iran responds to President Obama telling him to change his attitude and they’ll think about granting him the privilege of their association.

IRAN – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday said the United States must change its attitude if it wants to hold direct nuclear talks with Iran, as he hit out at Washington for imposing sanctions on Tehran, AFP reports.

His comments, in a speech marking the 34th anniversary of the Islamic revolution that ousted the U.S.-backed shah in 1979, came just days after Iran’s supreme leader rejected U.S. Vice President Joe Biden’s call for direct talks.

They also come at a time when Tehran and six world powers are preparing to resume stalled talks over Iran’s nuclear programme in the Kazakh city of Almaty on February 26.

“The change of tone is necessary but not sufficient,” Ahmadinejad said at Tehran’s landmark Azadi (Freedom) Square amid chants of “Death to America,” according to AFP. (more…)

Lots of folks are praising Lindsey Graham for his stance about Benghazi.   However, it is prudent to remember he has been a face of manipulated optical opposition before.  I don’t trust Graham, and this could well be just another decepticon angle to keep the patriots away from the gates as they look back yelling “we got this”.   They don’t want you, me, or anyone, looking over the wall or beyond the gate.

WASHINGTON DC – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appeared on CBS News’ Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer on Sunday where he pledged to try to block the nominations of both Chuck Hagel and John Brennan in an effort to get more information about the 2012 attack on an American consulate in Benghazi out of President Barack Obama.

Graham told Schieffer that he thought it was unfortunate that Obama did not place a personal call to officials in the Libyan government on the evening of September 11, 2012, when an American consulate in Libya was overrun by militants. (more…)

WASHINGTON DC – On Thursday, Senate sources told Breitbart News exclusively that they have been informed that one of the reasons that President Barack Obama’s nominee for Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, has not turned over requested documents on his sources of foreign funding is that one of the names listed is a group purportedly called “Friends of Hamas.”

Yesterday, 25 senators sent a letter to Hagel demanding information on his foreign funding. Hagel has refused all such requests, prompting the senators to state, “in the judgment of the undersigned, a Committee vote on your nomination should not occur unless and until you provide the requested information.” (continue reading)

Gee, would have been nice to see the truth come out BEFORE the election.   Alas, that wouldn’t suffice the media narrative.

WASHINGTON DC – Defense Secretary Leon Panetta testified this morning on Capitol Hill that President Barack Obama was absent the night four Americans were murdered in Benghazi on September 11, 2012:

Panetta said, though he did meet with Obama at a 5 o’clock prescheduled gathering, the president left operational details, including knowledge of what resources were available to help the Americans under siege, “up to us.” (more…)
