Poll: U.S. residents unsure about the future of innovation

A sign of insecurity is that Americans do not view themselves as the center of innovation; they are more passive and look elsewhere for leadership.

China Dominates NSA, Formerly an American Contest

The debate can rage on but I think this is additional evidence that the American kids are falling behind other countries in competing.

U.S. Army Confiscating Guns: VFW

U.S. Army TACOM (Tactical Army Command) is demanding an inventory of all weapons held by VFW posts. In addition, they are warning the posts not to try and hide weapons since TACOM is considering everything, including weaponry dating as far back as the Spanish-American War, as government property. The posts are to inventory and account for every type of weapon they have available or stored on site. Texas is in the region that foreign military armies will inhabit as a part of terrorist training in July, and, the DHS has labeled returning veterans as "extremists." The fear of the Federal government seems to be a supposed historical threat from veterans; FDR faced a similar problem because veterans did plot against him.

SECOND-GENERATION KEYNESIANISM

Some of the best political thinking and analysis of U.S. politics has been arising from the Czech Republic.

Young Israelis Express Themselves, "Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem on the Eve of Obama's Cairo Address."

Israeli University students express themselves.

June 3 Israeli taping entitled "Feeling the Hate in Jerusalem on the Eve of Obama's Cairo Address."

Some sample comments include:

"You're all about talking to the Arabs," says one. "You're going to Cairo making a speech to the Muslim world trying to get them to love you, what about the Jews, man? What are we, chopped liver? You don't care about us. Are we nothing to you? Do we matter? Do you care if we get driven into the sea? Do you care if we get nuked? Are we even... ugh... do you care about us?!"

"My grandmother was in Auschwitz, Obama," he adds. "We're not going to take any Auschwitz bullshit! Listen, Obama, my grandma's number was 1268493, I remember her number on her arm, dude. And listen, never again will we deal with this, never again!"

"He's a f**khead... I don't know politics, but he's a s**thead! Anyone who wants to take away my gun rights is an a***ole. He's an a***ole and deserves to get shot," declares a bandana-wearing youngster.

"Obama shouldn't pressure Israel for shit. Netanyahu told him to f**k himself and that's how we do it here in Israel baby, (applause) yah!"

"I worked for the Obama campaign, but honestly, you f**kin' with Israel, you mother, STOP IT!" He stands and points his finger at the camera lens.

"White power, f**k the ni***rs!"

"Man, listen, hand me a fifth of Henny, a video camera, and an hour, and I'll show you Negroes claiming that God's messenger lives in a space-ship orbiting the earth," he added.

"Political Science Girl," identified by the assistant director, Joseph Dana, as a Jewish girl from Florida.

"What is he doing for this country so far? Nothing," she responds. "I'm a political science major so like... I know my s**t."

"Do you know who Binyamin Netanyahu is?"

"No. Is he the Israel prime minister or something? I don't know who he is. Who's Benjamin Yahoo?"

Another Birth Certificate Billboard

The latest billboard to go up as part of the Birth Certificate campaign is in Buena Park, Calif., on Interstate 5, the Golden State Freeway between Los Angeles and Anaheim, a heavily trafficked corridor reaching hundreds of thousands of commuters every week.

"Saved" or "Created:" Words Are Important

Months ago I noticed this tendency by the lamestream media to simply repeat job claims. One of worst expressions was this dreadful exposition about saving or creating jobs. If employees do not lose their jobs, can I claim that I saved them? No, of course not because this line of reasoning makes no sense whatsoever. However, this is precisely what Obama has claimed, and the media has let him get away with it. Now, however, respectable journalists are beginning to ask the obvious questions. How much are you actually doing to repair the economy? The WSJ has weighed in on the flighty wording largely unquestioned, so far.

Debbie Schlussel's Graphic Word Display

Apparently I am not the only one who is analyzing words for the Cairo speech. Debbie Schlussel also noted the frequency of words. She points out Islam or Muslim appears 70 times while terror or terrorism did not appear at all.

Top Chinese Banker Calls for Wider Use of Yuan

Top Chinese banker Guo Shuqing calls for wider use of yuan. The head of China's second-largest bank has said the United States government should start issuing bonds in yuan, rather than dollars, in the latest indication of the increasing importance of the Chinese currency.

Zhou Xiaochuan, head of the People's Bank of China, has published a personal paper proposing to replace the dollar as the international reserve currency.

It was the first time the head of a major Chinese bank has called for the wider use of the yuan, although a chorus of senior government officials have already voiced their concerns about the stability of the dollar and have said the yuan should be used more widely.

Two months ago, before the G20 meeting in London, Zhou Xiaochuan, the head of the People's Bank of China, the central bank, published a personal paper proposing to replace the dollar as the international reserve currency. His call came after Wen Jiabao, the Chinese premier, asked the US to guarantee the safety of China's huge pile of US debt.

In April, the Chinese government said traders in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Hong Kong, Macau, Yunan and Guangxi could start to settle their bills in yuan, rather than dollars, paving the way for the currency to become more fully convertible.

Foreign Troops on U.S. Soil for FEMA

Foreign troops on U.S. soil for FEMA may sound innocuous until you consider that the U.S. has never had foreign troops on our soil, except in repelling them, and why are we having foreign troops anyway? "This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom." Even the explanation sounds odd, this is the: "first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection." This is the first multilateral exercise focused only on terrorism. If this were in response to a natural catastrophe there would be a more reasonable explanation. The scenario is that of a "notional [sic] terrorist event outside" the United States and is intended to prevent additional terrorist attacks. This scenario is practice enabling and "protecting U.S. critical infrastructure." Bear in mind that current bills in Congress are intended in case of emergencies to critical infrastructure such as the Internet. The only problem is that privately IT personnel have responded to security risks and the government is not able to protect citizens in any event. It is more likely that these are dry runs intending to shut down essential tools of business and communication such as the Internet, banking systems, and travel. The central target is "FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas." As an odd coincidence the intifada action occurred in one of these target states, Arkansas, following the shooting of a U.S. military troop at a recruiting center. It is all to convenient and not sounding like a random test at all.

The seeds of this initiative was planned years ago by Obama's revolutionary buddy Bill Ayers. In an interview with FBI informant, Larry Grathwohl,

from the 1982 video documentary No Place to Hide: The Strategy and Tactics of Terrorism by the Western Goals Foundation,. Grathwohl was one of the experts/witnesses interviewed for the documentary. He had been undercover inside the Weather Underground and had worked closely with Ayers, his wife Bernadette Dohrn, and their fellow terrorists.

In No Place to Hide, Grathwohl explains that the Weathermen actually believed that they would be successful in overthrowing the U.S. government and that, with the help of the Cubans, Chinese, Russians, and North Vietnamese, they would occupy America. Americans would have to be "re-educated" in camps, similar to what the communists did in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and other countries they had taken over. He discussed the plan:

Interviewer: "Well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?" And the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated.

Interviewer: And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

And when I say "eliminate," I mean "kill."

Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people and they were dead serious.

The question of who are considered the terrorists, at least in a FEMA training tape, are the "Founding Fathers." Stephen Steinhauser of the FBI in the same tape states: "Is there a chance that some of your civil liberties may slip while we guarantee the security of this country? Maybe." He also says they may not need to tell you why you are being investigated. Most recently, the DHS further elaborated that veterans, Constitutionalists, many Christians, and other seemingly law-abiding people are "extremists."

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery.

NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise. Tier I exercises (formerly known as the Top Officials exercise series or TOPOFF) are conducted annually in accordance with the National Exercise Program (NEP), which serves as the nation's overarching exercise program for planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating national level exercises. The NEP was established to provide the U.S. government, at all levels, exercise opportunities to prepare for catastrophic crises ranging from terrorism to natural disasters.

NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.

EXERCISE FOCUS

NLE 09 will focus on intelligence and information sharing among intelligence and law enforcement communities, and between international, federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector participants.

The NLE 09 scenario will begin in the aftermath of a notional terrorist event outside of the United States, and exercise play will center on preventing subsequent efforts by the terrorists to enter the United States and carry out additional attacks. This scenario enables participating senior officials to focus on issues related to preventing terrorist events domestically and protecting U.S. critical infrastructure.

NLE 09 will allow terrorism prevention efforts to proceed to a logical end (successful or not), with no requirement for response or recovery activities.

NLE 09 will be an operations-based exercise to include: activities taking place at command posts, emergency operation centers, intelligence centers and potential field locations to include federal headquarters facilities in the Washington D.C. area, and in federal, regional, state, tribal, local and private sector facilities in FEMA Region VI, which includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

EXERCISE OBJECTIVES

Through a comprehensive evaluation process, the exercise will assess prevention and protection capabilities both nationally and regionally. Although NLE 09 is still in the planning stages, the exercise is currently designed to validate the following capabilities:

*
Intelligence/Information Sharing and Dissemination
*
Counter-Terrorism Investigation and Law Enforcement
*
Air, Border and Maritime Security
*
Critical Infrastructure Protection
*
Public and Private Sector Alert/Notification and Security Advisories
*
International Coordination

VALIDATING THE HOMELAND SECURITY SYSTEM

Exercises such as NLE 09 are an important component of national preparedness, helping to build an integrated federal, state, tribal, local and private sector capability to prevent terrorist attacks, and rapidly and effectively respond to, and recover from, any terrorist attack or major disaster that occurs.

The full-scale exercise offers agencies and jurisdictions a way to test their plans and skills in a real-time, realistic environment and to gain the in-depth knowledge that only experience can provide. Participants will exercise prevention and information sharing functions that are critical to preventing terrorist attacks. Lessons learned from the exercise will provide valuable insights to guide future planning for securing the nation against terrorist attacks, disasters, and other emergencies.

For more information about NLE 09, contact the FEMA News Desk: 202-646-4600.

FEMA leads and supports the nation in a risk-based, comprehensive emergency management system of preparedness, protection, response, recovery, and mitigation, to reduce the loss of life and property and protect the nation from all hazards including natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other man-made disasters.

Netanyahu Outflanks Barry

Barak Netanyahu is scheduled to make a major speech. He is likely to re-affirm the 2003 U.S.-endorsed peace plan since the Israeli government should declare it is "committed to all previous agreements signed by previous governments, including the 'road map', whose goal is two states for two peoples." Obama never saw it coming in his zeal to advance the Muslim Saudi agenda. Netanyahu is simply reminding the dense American that his "position will bring the differences over settlements back to normal proportions." Netanyahu is schooling Barry in how you negotiate.
