Droning On: Interesting Timing in the Middle East

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: The appar­ent cap­ture and down­ing by Iran of a U.S. drone air­craft raises a num­ber of inter­est­ing ques­tions.
If the account pre­sented in “Debka” can be believed, the pos­si­bil­ity of some sort of “inside job” is one to be care­fully con­sid­ered. (“Debka” is an intel­li­gence newslet­ter spe­cial­iz­ing in Mid­dle East­ern and Israeli national security [...]

Update on “A Night in Tunisia”

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ October 30, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: In the long For The Record series deal­ing with Wik­iLeaks and the Piggy-Back Coups in the Mid­dle East, that tor­tu­ous jour­ney began with the coup in Tunisia, believed by some observers to have been trig­gered by the dis­clo­sure of State Depart­ment cables crit­i­cal of the Ben Ali regime.
As noted by the vig­i­lant “Terrafractyl”, [...]

“That’s the Way to Do It!”: Fascism, That Is (with apologies to Dire Straits)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

COMMENT: As the U.S. descends into fas­cism, it is worth not­ing how vio­lence directed against the Democ­rats goes unheeded. In Wis­con­sin, the Demo­c­ra­tic We Are Wis­con­sin head­quar­ters was destroyed by fire, shortly before recall elec­tions to neu­tral­ize Tea Party Repub­li­cans were sched­uled. This is a numb­ing con­tin­u­a­tion of the epi­demic of vio­lence directed at [...]

S and P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating: “Hail Victory” for the SS Kampfgruppe Norquist

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ August 7, 2011 ⋅ 16 comments

COMMENT: Well, folks, they’ve done it. The GOP’s Tea Party fas­cists (with a gen­er­ous assist from an appar­ently clue­less and def­i­nitely gut­less Barack Obama) have suc­ceeded in caus­ing S & P to down­grade the U.S.‘s credit rat­ing from AAA–the first time in his­tory that this has been done.
In FTR #412, we out­lined the strat­egy of [...]

Plane Speaking in D.C.

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 17, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

COMMENT: With the bud­get talks com­ing down to the wire and grow­ing [pre­dictably] more acri­mo­nious, it is worth not­ing the num­ber of small planes that have intruded into Camp David air space–5 in one month. All appar­ently did so while Obama was at the retreat.
This is rem­i­nis­cent of a num­ber of “high, hard ones”–a [...]

FTR #747 Bringin’ It All Back Home

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 4, 2011 ⋅ 7 comments

GOP doing to Obama what CIA did to Allende in Chile; Repub­li­cans appear ready to destroy U.S., global economies to gain power; Bush admin­is­tra­tion deficits delib­er­ately struc­tured to force end of New Deal social pro­grams; Tea Party fas­cists pro­vid­ing “boots on the ground” for this effort.

Update on the Piggy-Back Coups and the Muslim Brotherhood

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ July 3, 2011 ⋅ 5 comments

COMMENT: Con­ser­v­a­tive Frank Gaffney–among the VERY few in this coun­try will­ing to attack Grover Norquist and Karl Rove for their sup­port for the Mus­lim Brotherhood–has  prop­erly exco­ri­ated the Obama admin­is­tra­tion and Hillary Clin­ton for their diplo­matic rap­proche­ment with that Islamic fas­cist orga­ni­za­tion.
(I note that the Obama admin­is­tra­tion is sim­ply extend­ing an ini­tia­tive that was [...]

FTR #742 Body Count (Sweet Home Alabama)

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ May 23, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

An appar­ent turkey shoot under­way in Alabama, with peo­ple who could spill the beans on Karl Rove’s oper­a­tions there “com­mit­ting sui­cide” in record num­bers; was the wife of Obma’s liai­son to the House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives mur­dered, the same week­end that Rep­re­sen­ta­tive Gabrielle Gif­fords was shot?

New York Times’ “Trump Card”: Covering Up GOP “Birther” Idiocy

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ April 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

COMMENT: Well, “The Gray Lady” has dis­tin­guished itself once again. Hav­ing done some­thing worth while–exposing the extent to which the GOP has been pos­sessed by “birther” ide­ol­ogy (the thoroughly-discredited view that Obama was not born in the United States and isn’t legally-qualified to be Pres­i­dent–The Times then down­played and then removed the [...]
