There’s a visible twisting of history taking place that’s increasingly obvious within the last few days.  Against all intellectual honesty, an entirely different version of historical reality is being seeded by the media.  Here’s the basic outline:

In general terms it goes like this – Vladimir Putin, the global villain and Machiavellian nemesis of freedom, wanted to undermine NATO and find a way to take control of the world, starting with Europe.  As such he schemed to seed the origin of ISIS in Syria so that he could begin killing them and driving a mass exodus of Syrian Muslims into Europe.  According to the conspiracy, Putin knew if he forced enough Muslims into the EU it would disrupt society and create the chaos he needs to undermine NATO.   That’s the current version of the Media story.

However, what the insufferable leftist narrative avoids, is something called reality.

The reality is: President Obama went to Cairo Egypt in 2009 and told the Muslim world that America’s political approach for the past decade was wrong.  Obama apologized for our meddling efforts.  President Obama then told the entire Middle East audience the U.S. would no longer protect Arab dictators, thereby seeding the ‘Islamist Spring’ uprisings which followed.

I’m going through the transcript and video now and will be expanding on the overall speech in a subsequent and substantive post.  However, a quick few notations are in order.

Candidate Donald Trump’s specific speech today was a rebuke to the 2009 speech of President Obama made in Cairo Egypt.  Don’t let the media ignoring that aspect fall silently past you, it’s critical.

The 2009 Cairo Speech by President Obama, his “Mid-east Obama Doctrine”, was the detonation tool, the exact epicenter, for the explosion that created the “Arab Spring”.  Go back and refresh your memory if needed.  It was a specific moment in time. It was a specifically worded ideological speech, and it held specific goals and intentions.

The media will now go into overdrive to protect President Obama from the bigger truth which can come out as a result of this enlarged conversation.   It was President Obama who gave rise to the “Arab Spring”.  You can guarantee the media will go nuts trying to avoid that reality. Watch…

(Via WRCB) “We extend our deepest sympathies and condolences to the families of the honorable servicemembers and police officers who were victims of the shooting our son committed on Thursday in Chattanooga, Tennessee— our community, and one we have loved for over twenty-five years. 

Our prayers go out to the victims’ families, friends, and everyone who is affected by this tragedy. There are no words to describe our shock, horror, and grief. 

The person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved.  (more…)

President Obama is using the 2009 Executive Order Task Force to qualify detainees held at GITMO for release.   This week six more will be transferred to Oman, four of whom are Osama Bin Laden’s Ghuraba’a Members – ‘strangers from the Afghanistan Mountains’.

In addition to the XO Task Force the White House seeks to protect the president from consequence by using Obama’s cabinet for review approvals.   Six federal departments or agencies also approved the releases: The departments of Defense, State, Justice and Homeland Security; the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

WASHINGTON DC – […]  The six new transfers are Emad Abdullah Hassan, who has been on hunger strikes since 2007 in protest of his confinement without charge since 2002.  ccording to court documents, Hassan said detainees have been force-fed up to a gallon at a time of nutrients and water.

He is accused of being one of many bodyguards for bin Laden, who led the Al Qaeda terror group until killed by U.S. forces in 2011. Hassan also was allegedly part of a group planning to attack NATO and American troops against the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.

The five other detainees sent to Oman were identified by the Pentagon as: (more…)

An intellectually honest person cannot read the details behind this investigation and not see the potential for parallels to the Mississippi Jessica Lane Chambers murder, and Yemeni gas station owner/operator Ali Alsanai; aka Basem Alsanai, aka Ali Fadhel.
The First Stop gas station and convenience store, where Jessica Chambers was last seen alive on video, is owned/operated by a seemingly sketchy family originating from Yemen.
ALABAMA –  A couple of steaks shoplifted at a Gardendale Walmart three months ago led to the biggest food stamp fraud investigation in Jefferson County’s history, and launched 11 simultaneous raids this morning at convenience stores countywide.
Led by the Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office, teams of law enforcement officers met at 5 a.m. for a briefing and then fanned out across the county beginning at 6:50 a.m. The officers and agents were armed with 242 arrest warrants and plans to arrest 17 suspects.
All 17 suspects were in custody by mid-morning, and investigators already today have filed for forfeiture and condemnation of those 11 stores, which totals more than $1 million in assets. (more…)

President Obama has absolutely no intention to confront the Iranian ships headed to Yemen; pontifications to the contrary are *ridiculous in the extreme.  Any Navy deployment in the region is pure theater. Nothing more, nothing less…

(*pay attention to Kuwait)

WASHINGTON — U.S. Navy officials say the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt is steaming toward the waters off Yemen and will join other American ships prepared to intercept any Iranian vessels carrying weapons to the Houthi rebels fighting in Yemen.

The U.S. Navy has been beefing up its presence in the Gulf of Aden and the southern Arabian Sea amid reports that a convoy of Iranian ships may be headed toward Yemen to arm the Houthis. (more…)

This won’t end well…. Iran resupplying the rebels in Yemen and Obama holding steadfast wanting to negotiate a nuclear deal with them.

(Via The Hill) U.S. military officials are concerned that Iran’s support for Houthi rebels in Yemen could spark a confrontation with Saudi Arabia and plunge the region into sectarian war.

Iran is sending an armada of seven to nine ships — some with weapons — toward Yemen in a potential attempt to resupply the Shia Houthi rebels, according to two U.S. defense officials.

Officials fear the move could lead to a showdown with the U.S. or other members of a Saudi-led coalition, which is enforcing a naval blockade of Yemen and is conducting its fourth week of airstrikes against the Houthis. (more…)

In September of 2012 President Obama declared “al-Qaeda on the run”, Last month al-Qaeda fueled the collapse of the government in Yemen. Today, continuing the advance, AQAP takes control of a major airport in in Yemen.

Next Up, move into Saudi Arabia….

SANAA, Yemen (AP) – Military officials and residents say Al Qaeda has taken control of a major airport in southern Yemen after briefly clashing with troops.

The officials say Al Qaeda fighters clashed Thursday with members of the infantry brigade in charge of protecting the Riyan airport in the city of Mukalla, a major port city and the provincial capital of Yemen’s largest province, Hadramawt.

Al Qaeda overran the city itself earlier this month and freed inmates, including a militant commander, from its prison.

Nasser Baqazouz, an activist in the city, said the troops guarding the airport put up little resistance. (more…)

Americans trapped in Yemen and trying to escape got a great dose of what Obama’s State Department thinks of them, and it’s not much.  It should be remembered that the State Department botched the evacuation of Libya during the 2011 Islamist civil war.

(Via WFB) The State Department is telling U.S. citizens fleeing the fighting in Yemen to contact the government of India or an international NGO dedicated to migrant rights for help, according to the website for the abandoned U.S. embassy in Sanaa and statements by Indian government officials.

The Chinese Navy last week evacuated hundreds of people from the war-torn country. Russia, Canada, and France are also reported to have recently conducted evacuations of their own.

The website of the U.S. diplomatic mission in Yemen posted two messages on Monday laying out options for American citizens looking to flee the country. The first noted that, “The Indian government has offered to assist U.S. citizens who want to depart Yemen for Djibouti. This potentially includes flights out of Sana’a and ships from Aden. U.S. citizens wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should contact First Secretary Raj Kopal at the Indian Embassy in Sana’a at 00967 734 000 657.” (more…)
