Putin Setting Up Next Cuban Missile Crisis

Posted on by

This is why McCain needs to be the next President:

“The Russian and Cuban military will exchange experience in organising tactical air defence and in training officers,” Interfax quoted Russian Land Forces spokesman Igor Konashenkov as saying.

The two sides will “discuss the prospect of training Cuban servicemen at the tactical air defence academies and training centres in Russia, using upgraded Russian-made military hardware,” Interfax quoted him as saying.

The delegation, led by the chief of Russia’s tactical air defence headquarters, Lieutenant General Alexander Maslov, will also look at “ways to strengthen relations between the Russian armed forces and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Cuba,” Konashenkov was quoted as saying.

The delegation will be in Cuba from Monday until November 3, Konashenkov was quoted as saying. Reuters could not immediately reach Konashenkov for comment.

In 1962, Cuba became the focus of the deepest crisis of the Cold War after the Soviet Union installed missiles there, prompting a standoff with Washington. The island’s government remains hostile to the United States.

In the past few months, Moscow has stepped up contacts with both Cuba and Venezuela, another South American critic of the United States.

Will Obama be able to stand firm against Castro and Putin the way JFK did? Doubtful. Vote McCain/Palin.

Barney Frank Calls for 25% Defense Cut, Higher Taxes

Posted on by

Welcome to the New America, where in the face of drastic increases in defense spending from Russia, China and Iran the new power’s that be will defang America and cripple our wealth generating economic model:

Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) said Democrats will push for a stimulus package after the November election, and called for a package reducing defense spending by 25 percent while saying Congress will “eventually” raise taxes.

Frank told the editorial board of the SouthCoast Standard-Times that he wanted to reduce defense spending by a quarter, meaning the United States would have to withdraw from Iraq sooner.

“The people of Iraq want us out, and we want to stay over their objection,” he said. “It’s extraordinary.”

Frank also said the post-election stimulus package will focus on spending for building projects, extending unemployment benefits, and further supporting states’ healthcare costs. “We’ll have to raise taxes ultimately,” Frank said. “Not now, but eventually.” Frank told the Standard-Times that if Democrats cannot secure the votes they need in November, they will try again in January, when they will likely have stronger majorities in the House and Senate.

Frank, the Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, was an instrumental figure in engineering the bailout legislation to the U.S. financial industry, and indicated a new package may seek to ameliorate fears about investing. “The psychological problem is even worse than the real problem,” Frank said.

The Hill neglects to inform readers Frank was also instrumental in creating the crisis.

Arm yourselves, because when Russian and Iranian advisers lead Bolivarian troops across our borders, there won’t be much of a military to stop them.

Obama Supporter Carves “B” into 20-Year-old Woman’s Head Because She’s a McCain Supporter!

Posted on by

Drudge had this story developing for a while, and now the details are out and they typify the mindset of Obama supporters. From WTAE:

PITTSBURGH — A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim’s car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter “B” into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank’s surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

I’m shocked that an Obama supporter would running around robbing young women at knife point. It isn’t as if liberal barometers Pandagon, DailyKos and Democratic Underground support criminality, violence and demonizing their ideological opponents to such an extent that barbarity of this nature becomes acceptable.

What are the chances of lefty blogs or the MSM picking up this story? I say slim because this is secretly what they all want for America. This is the true face of liberalism. They call us “The Crazies” but when was the last time you heard of a Republican carving a big fat “W” on the head of some hippy?

Arm yourselves. This violence is coming to your home sooner than you think.

The Post-Gazette is also covering this. Ace of Spades and Hot Air have the skepticism of people who haven’t been jumped in bad areas. Note to Ace, crime drama aside you’re lucky if a camera in a bank even works in most bad sections of a city, much less if cops can get a look at the film right after the crime. If they care at all, after I’ve been attacked on the street I got a cop who took a statement, nodded sagely and told me I could go look at mugshots “if I wanted” so you’ll forgive me if I’m not suspicious of the fact cops aren’t all over this.

Both have photos up however. I doubt the girl pounded herself in the face just to help McCain get elected, but then again I’ve been jumped before in bad neighborhoods so I know such things aren’t “too-perfectly-awful-to-be-true” but are in fact the price of allowing liberals to run places. Some of our Conservative brethren could use a field trip to Pittsburgh, or my hometown of East Orange, N.J. it seems.

Having been jumped, and shot at, specifically because I’m bi-racial (and thus not “Black enough”) I can tell you criminals are often motivated by leftist nonsense. If the victim, Ashley Todd, made it up she’s the most hardcore little bastard in the G.O.P. because she’s got a black eye that only comes from being hit hard in the face. I couldn’t do it to myself and I don’t think she could either.

Fox is reporting McCain called to check on Ashley. That’s class. We wish her the best.

Update: Police claim it’s a hoax. The police also claim Rodney King deserved the beating he got and that Malcolm X was shot by random assailants. If it was a hoax it distracted from several incidents of real violence against Republicans.

Update: Ashley Todd joined the college Republicans in June and worked as a contract worker for them, not McCain. Sounds like a Moby to me.

Update: She’s a Paulnut! This explains everything:

In March, Ms. Todd was asked to leave a grass-roots group of Ron Paul supporters in Brazos County, Texas, group leader Dustan Costine said. He said Ms. Todd posed as a supporter of former Arkansas governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee and called the local Republican committee seeking information about its campaign strategies.

“She would call the opposing campaign and pretend she was on their campaign to get information,” Mr. Costine said last night. “We had to remove her because of the tactics she displayed. After that we had nothing to do with her.”

About a month earlier, he said, Ms. Todd sent an e-mail to the Ron Paul group saying her tires were slashed and that campaign paraphernalia had been stolen from her car because she supported Mr. Paul.

Police Forces Preparing for Election Day Unrest

Posted on by

From The Hill:

Police departments in cities across the country are beefing up their ranks for Election Day, preparing for possible civil unrest and riots after the historic presidential contest.

Public safety officials said in interviews with The Hill that the election, which will end with either the nation’s first black president or its first female vice president, demanded a stronger police presence.

Some worry that if Barack Obama loses and there is suspicion of foul play in the election, violence could ensue in cities with large black populations. Others based the need for enhanced patrols on past riots in urban areas (following professional sports events) and also on Internet rumors.

Democratic strategists and advocates for black voters say they understand officers wanting to keep the peace, but caution that excessive police presence could intimidate voters.

Sen. Obama (Ill.), the Democratic nominee for president, has seen his lead over rival Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) grow in recent weeks, prompting speculation that there could be a violent backlash if he loses unexpectedly.

Cities that have suffered unrest before, such as Detroit, Chicago, Oakland and Philadelphia, will have extra police deployed.

In Oakland, the police will deploy extra units trained in riot control, as well as extra traffic police, and even put SWAT teams on standby.

“Are we anticipating it will be a riot situation? No. But will we be prepared if it goes awry? Yes,” said Jeff Thomason, spokesman for the Oakland Police Department.

“I think it is a big deal — you got an African-American running and [a] woman running,” he added, in reference to Obama and GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. “Whoever wins it, it will be a national event. We will have more officers on the street in anticipation that things may go south.”

The Oakland police last faced big riots in 2003 when the Raiders lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. Officials are bracing themselves in case residents of Oakland take Obama’s loss badly.

Celebratory riots are likely if Obama wins, just as the world’s most neglected survival blog has recently put forward, and there will definitely be riots if he loses. The police are preparing for the possibility, are you?
