Several days ago I sent a simple LTE to The White House. I asked why we were willing to spend on protecting Ukraine's borders and not our own. This is the evasive answer from those who draft what Biden has to say.





February 2, 2022

 

Dear Mr. Berkowitz,

Thank you for writing to me about U.S. foreign policy.  I appreciate the time you took to write, and I welcome the opportunity to respond.

The challenges facing our world today demonstrate how interconnected we are and how the fates of all people are bound up together.  The outbreak of a virus overseas can cause profound grief and suffering at home.  Conflict a continent away can create unrest that endangers our own security.  Economic downturns abroad can mean lost jobs and shuttered businesses in towns across America.  Global climate change is already worsening hurricanes in the Gulf, floods in the heartland, and wildfires in the West.  No country can solve these problems alone, and America cannot afford to be absent from the world stage.  Investing in strengthening our leadership abroad is also an investment in bolstering our security and prosperity at home. 

As  President, I am determined to repair our alliances, renew our leadership in international institutions, reclaim our credibility, and equip the American middle class to succeed in a global economy.  I strongly believe that our Nation is better positioned than any other to lead in the 21st century and to be the greatest force for good in the world.  Under my Administration, American political and economic leadership will be rooted in our most cherished values:  defending freedom, championing opportunity, upholding universal rights, respecting the rule of law, and treating every person with dignity.

We have returned diplomacy to the center of our foreign policy and are committed to meeting today’s global challenges from a position of strength, working in close cooperation with our allies and partners.  I also want to be clear that I will never hesitate to defend the American people or our vital interests, including through the use of force when necessary.  We will always stand with our friends around the world to protect our values and to advance peace, security, and prosperity for all.

I appreciate you sharing your views with me, and I will keep your perspective on these important issues in mind as we work to meet the challenges of our time.  May God bless America, and may God protect our troops, our diplomats, our development experts, and all those serving in harm’s way.

Sincerely,

Solve this: 

Jury Duty Summons.

Let this one sink in......

Last year 449,163 Californians received a jury duty summons to which they declined, using the "I am not a citizen, therefore I cannot sit on a jury"  provision;


The source for jury duty summons candidates is the VOTER REGISTRATION list.


Think about that for a minute.

Let's hear it for China:

Four reasons why China is fast becoming the dominant power in the world.... 


Also think about this. As China makes more movies which are distributed in America they will subtlety begin to extoll the virtues of China, it's peoples and government etc.

 

1. They have a very low tolerance for crime. The death sentence is swiftly and routinely used for terrorists, murderers and drug traffickers. 

 

2. Very low tolerance for Religion. They do not believe there is a Magic man in the sky.  No such thing as a God.  Almost no religious killings ???, and getting rid of the Indigenous Chinese Muslim population as fast as they can. 

 

3. They have not been involved in any expensive wars or invaded any country for the last seventy years. 

 

4. Their primary weapon of choice to conquer the world is Finance, and countries around the world are falling fast. 

 

Not just the USA but all world is in trouble


In the near future, China will employ millions of American workers and dominate thousands of small communities all over the United States. Chinese acquisition of US businesses set a new all-time record last year, and it is on pace to shatter that record this year.

 

The Smithfield Foods acquisition is a great example. Smithfield Foods is the largest pork producer and processor in the world. It has facilities in 26 US states, and it employs tens of thousands of Americans. It directly owns 460 farms and has contracts with about 2,100 others. But now a Chinese company has bought it for $ 4.7 billion, and that means that the Chinese will now be the most important employer in dozens of rural communities all over America.


Thanks in part to our massively bloated trade deficit with China, the Chinese have trillions of dollars to spend. They are only just starting to exercise their economic muscle.


It is important to keep in mind that there is often not much of a difference between "the Chinese government" and "the Chinese corporations".   In 2011, 43 percent of all profits in China were produced by companies where the Chinese government had a controlling interest.


Last year a Chinese company spent $2.6B to purchase AMC entertainment, one of the largest movie theater chains in the United States. Chinese companies control more movie ticket sales than anyone else in the world.


But China is not just relying on acquisitions to expand its economic power.


"Economic beachheads" are being established all over America. For example, Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tube Group, Inc. recently broke ground on a $100M plant in Thomasville, Alabama. Many of the residents of Thomas-ville, Alabama will be glad to have jobs, but it will also become yet another community that will now be heavily dependent on Communist China.


And guess where else Chinese companies are putting down roots?  DETROIT. 


Chinese-owned companies are investing in American businesses and new vehicle techno-logy, selling everything from seat belts to shock absorbers in retail stores, and hiring experienced engineers and designers in an effort to soak up the talent and expertise of domestic automakers and their suppliers.


If you recently purchased an "American-made" vehicle, there is a really good chance that it has a number of Chinese parts in it. Industry analysts are hard-pressed to put a number on the Chinese suppliers in the United States.


China is very interested in acquiring energy resources in the United States.


For example, China is actually mining for coal in the mountains of Tennessee. Guizhou Gouchuang Energy Holdings Group spent 616 million dollars to acquire Triple H Coal Co. in Jacksboro, Tennessee.


At the time, that acquisition really didn't make much news, but now a group of conservatives in Tennessee is trying to stop the Chinese from blowing up their mountains and taking their coal. 

And pretty soon China may want to build entire cities in the United States just like they have been doing in other countries. Right now China is actually building a city larger than Manhattan just outside Minsk, the capital of Belarus.


Are you starting to get the picture yet? China is on the rise and has been for a long time while America plays political games.


If you doubt this, just read the following:


When you total up all imports and exports, China is now the number one trading nation on the entire planet.


# Overall, the US has run a trade deficit with China over the past decade that comes to more than 23 trillion dollars.  


# China has more foreign currency reserves than anyone else on the planet.


# China now has the largest new car market in the entire world.


# China now produces more than twice as many automobiles as does the United States.


# After being bailed out by US taxpayers, GM is involved in 11 joint ventures with Chinese companies.

 

# China is the number one gold producer in the world.


# The uniforms for the US Olympic team were made in China.


# 85% of all artificial Christmas trees the world over are made in China.


# The new World Trade Center tower in New York includes glass imported from China.


# China now consumes more energy than does the United States.


# China is now in aggregate the leading manufacturer of goods in the entire world.


# China uses more cement than the rest of the world combined.


# China is now the number one producer of wind and solar power on the entire globe.


# China produces 3 times as much coal and 11 times as much steel as the United States does.


# China produces more than 90 percent of the global supply of rare earth elements.


# China is now the number one supplier of components that are critical to the operation of any national defense system.


# In published scientific research articles, China will become number one in the world very shortly.  And what we have seen so far may just be the tip of the iceberg.  And for now, I will just leave you with one piece of advice - Learn to speak Chinese.

Two different worlds. 

Whether one wants to conclude the Arab/Muslem world is more /less moral is not the issue. What is important to understand their and the West's difference makes it impossible to negotiate and then expect what is agreed to will stick. 

Perhaps this is also a trait of nations run by dictators and thugs like China, Russia etc.

Israeli Netflix Series are interesting . I recommend a short one entitled" The Girl From Oslo."

Terrorists receiving “military ranks” and officers being murdered – Expressions of the morally bankrupt PA reality

By Maurice Hirsch


The contrast between how Palestinian terrorist Osama Al-Silawi and United States Army Captain Taylor Force received their military ranks provides a clear picture of the moral bankruptcy of the Palestinian Authority.

Speaking recently, released terrorist murderer Al-Silawi thanked PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas for the “military rank” he was given and “salaries” the PA pays him.  

Released terrorist prisoner Osama Al-Silawi: “I greatly thank His Honor [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas for his generous inclusion of the prisoners from before [the 1993] Oslo [Accords]. When we were released, he honored us by giving us military ranks and salaries with which we are living dignified lives.”

[Official PA TV, In Spite of the Handcuffs, Jan. 15, 2022]

Terrorist Al-Silawi was arrested in February 1993. After his conviction for the murder of Israeli Mordechai Biton, the wounding of Biton’s wife and the torture and murder of three Palestinians he thought were cooperating with Israel’s security forces, he was sentenced to 4 life sentences.

In 2013, as a precondition to start peace talks with Israel, Abbas demanded, inter alia, that 104 terrorists who had been arrested before the Oslo peace process be released. Terrorist Al-Silawi, who was 19 when he murdered Biton and tortured and murdered the Palestinians, was among the terrorists Israel released.

Terrorist Al-Silawi received his military rank from the PA because he was a terrorist who murdered innocent people.

In contrast to terrorist Al-Silawi, Captain Taylor Force invested four years of hard work to graduate as an officer from the United States West Point Military Academy. He then led soldiers in the fight against terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.

While walking innocently along the promenade in Tel Aviv together with his classmates from Vanderbilt University, Taylor was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist, Bashar Masalha, who mistook him for a Jew. The terrorist was killed on the spot before he could murder other innocent people.

Capt. Taylor Force received his military rank in order to fight terrorists like Osama Al-Silawi and his own killer, who murder innocent people.

The “military rank” and “salaries” referred to by murderer Al-Silawi are not a random or arbitrary event. Rather they are part of the PA’s extensive terror reward program, often referred to as the PA’s “Pay-for-Slay” policy.

As part of this policy, the PA pays monthly salaries to terrorist prisoners and released terrorists, such as Al-Silawi. It also pays a monthly allowance to the families of dead terrorists such as the family of the terrorist who murdered Taylor.

Every year these payments cost the PA hundreds of millions of dollars.

When Al-Silawi and the other terrorists were released in 2013, PA Chairman Abbas greeted them, repeatedly praising them as “heroes”:

"[The release of our prisoners] is a day of joy for our nation, for our people, for our heroic prisoners... There will be more groups of heroes who will come to us... They [the Israelis] postponed these heroes' release by 24 hours... we congratulate you and ourselves for the [release] of these heroes.”

[Official PA TV, Dec. 31, 2013]

As Palestinian Media Watch has already noted, shortly after release of the terrorists, Fatah officials claimed to have “blackmailed” Israel into releasing them. These statements gave rise to serious questions as to whether the PA ever had any bonafide intention to conduct real peace negotiations or whether the entire so-called “round of peace talks,” was merely a charade to free the terrorists.

Whatever the true intentions of the Palestinian leadership were, there are a number of realities that reflect on the moral compass of the PA:

For the PA, terrorist murderers are “heroes”

For the PA, military ranks are not a badge of honor earned with hard work, but merely a gift to be handed out to released murderers

For the PA, “Pay-for-Slay” salaries to terrorists and murderers and incentivizing more terror is a priority

Special Ops finally pulls one off:

Report: ISIS Leader Killed in U.S. Special Operations Raid


Department of Defense

By: Sally Kent| 


ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed in a “successful” Special Operations raid in Syria according to records from President Biden and the Pentagon.



Fox News reports:


“Last night at my direction, U.S. military forces in northwest Syria successfully undertook a counterterrorism operation to protect the American people and our Allies, and make the world a safer place,” Biden said. “Thanks to the skill and bravery of our Armed Forces, we have taken off the battlefield Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi—the leader of ISIS. All Americans have returned safely from the operation.”


Residents in Atmeh, a village in rebel-held Idlib Province, told the Associated Press that there was a large ground assault, with U.S. forces using loudspeakers asking women and children to leave the area. They described the raid as the biggest operation since the October 2019 killing of Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.


Omar Saleh, a resident of a nearby house, told the Associated Press he was asleep when his doors and windows started to rattle to the sound of low-flying aircraft at 1:10 a.m. local time. He ran to open the windows with the lights off, and saw three helicopters. He then heard a man, speaking Arabic with an Iraqi or Saudi accent through a loudspeaker, urging women to surrender or leave the area.


“This went on for 45 minutes. There was no response. Then the machine gun fire erupted,” Saleh said. He said the firing continued for two hours, as aircraft circled low over the area.


The raid was carried out in an area close to the border of Turkey. The area is known to be home to multiple top Al Qaeda operatives and other groups fighting President Bashar Assad.
