Surprise! Prison Planet Defends Communism and the Muslim Brotherhood Against Glen Beck

I’ve long said that Alex Jones and company have a funny defination of patriotism, one that involves hating America, spreading Islamist propaganda and defending communism. Here’s a post from Prison Planet that does all three of these things at once. I’ll let you read through it and tell me how Jones isn’t purposefully helpong enemies of America for a quick buck, but here’s a taste if you don’t want to wade into the cess pool:

For Beck, current events in Egypt are occurring as a result of their connection to his pet-list of far-Left idealogues, like Van Jones, and a host of organizations and unions allegedly linked to Soros. While many of these connections are legitimate, Beck obscures altogether the long history of Pentagon intervention in foreign politics. The CIA and U.S. military have, for decades, sponsored and created radical Islamic factions, including the Muslim Brotherhood, the Taliban and more.

What is really underway is a complex series of destabilization efforts all across the Middle East region, and perhaps the making of a wider war. Unlike Sen. Joseph McCarthy, whose pursuit of Communist infiltrators in the U.S. government was based upon real evidence but skewed to appear hysterical and exaggerated, Glenn Beck’s relentless “outing” of Communist influence in modern U.S. and foreign affairs tends to smokescreen the coordinated actions, covert and otherwise, of monopoly capitalists toying with the nations of the world on their “grand chessboard” map.

Sounds a lot like Code Pink to me.

Isn’t it odd how when Infowars is talking about a open, documentable relationship between Leftists and the Labor movement they use the word allegedly yet when claiming the “bloodlines” of some mythical global Illuminati are secretly orchestrating everything bad in the world it’s reported as fact. Interesting. It’s almost like everyone’s favorite conspiracy buff has no taste for talking about a real conspiracy that can be proven to exist.

Jones is a frequent guest on commie propaganda outlet Russia Today. If I were more conspiracy minded I would point out that the one country that benefits the most from Alex Jones world view is also the one whose state media pays him for appearances and then say something like ‘I’m just asking questions!” while puffing on my commemorative Ron Paul bong.

Foreclosures Rise in January

Surprise! But only if you thought that a recover was in the works:

U.S. home foreclosures jumped 12 percent last month, but the sharp divide between states  suggests the industry remains backlogged by investigations into the foreclosure process.

According to a report from real estate data firm RealtyTrac, lenders foreclosed on 78,133 properties in January, up 12 percent from the month before, but down 11 percent from January a year ago.

Bank seizures at states with non-judicial foreclosure processes jumped 23 percent, while states with a judicial process saw a decrease of 7 percent.

“It suggests the system is still frozen up. We should have seen a much larger increase in both overall activity and bank repossession,” said Rick Sharga, senior vice president at RealtyTrac.

“The numbers will inevitably go up, it’s just a question of will it be sooner or will it be later.”

The number of foreclosure filings, which includes default notices, scheduled auctions and bank repossessions, rose 1 percent to 261,333 in January. Compared to January last year, filings are down 17 percent.

So I guess in places where judges are allowing people to not pay and stay in their houses banks are giving up, but in states where that hasn’t happened yet banks are picking up pace to get people out before lefty lawyers get involved. No matter the outcome your savings and house values are not safe.

Marines Headed to Egypt to Secure American Citizens – American Left Disgusted

Judging by the comments left on the Business Insider piece this news comes from lefties think our military running a rescue operation to get our fellow Americans out of a bad situation is tantamount to a war crime. Here’s the news:

There is a system within the US Marines that alerts the immediate families of high-ranking marines when their marine will soon be deployed to an emergency situation where they will not be able to talk to their spouses or families.

That alert just went out, says our source.

This senior Marine told our source that the Pentagon will deploy “multiple platoons” to Egypt over the next few days and that the official reason will be ‘to assist in the evacuation of US citizens.”

Our source was told that “the chances they were going over there went from 70% yesterday to 100% today.”

Now an example of comments. When someone claimed this would look bad to “the Arab street’ I asked the question of whether or not that even mattered. Someone calling themselves Popded responded thusly:

@Rob Taylor:
“The government should ensure the safety of Americans no matter the consequences.”
a) If the US government feels like saving American lives it should start from the hundreds of thousand homeless people it has. better yet, removing all US military personnel (government- and private-sponsored) from all the countries it has them scattered to protect not freedom or democracy as they so claim but the interests of big business, corporations and conglomerates…
b)”No matter the consequences” sums up the reason all the people of the world (including quite a few Americans) hate the U.S. . According to your statement its OK for a complication that could lead to open conflict in the already war-torn Middle East that could cause loss-of-life a million-fold to save a couple of ignorant bozos that stuck around a country in such great turmoil (and to a great extent because of US intervention) just because they are oblivious to the plight of the local people, tucked away in their magic money-bubble. Obviously you believe thousands of lives (Egyptian in this case, or even Israeli or Palestinian) are inferior to a single US-born person’s…Let me give you some info: Inequality is what caused this explosion not only in Egypt but also in Tunisia, Algeria, Yemen, and more are soon to come. Try thinking on that with a few brain-cells (if you have any to spare beyond repeating the government’s position like a retarded mynah bird)…
c) If I had a kid studying abroad, or a wife who was a reporter I would call them back home before the government ensured their safety just as it did with the reporters blown to smithereens for kicks by a US chopper in Iraq (which we know of only because of the wikileaks guys that the far-right and US Government want to execute without trial)…

Get that? In essence he or she is saying that Americans should be left to die because his lefty ideology says so. There are dozens of comments just like that there. Read through them and see what your fellow Americans think of college students and researchers trapped in a bad situation.

I point this out because “Popded” and his ilk are your neighbors. These are the people who you and your family will be surrounded by during an emergency. Their hearts are full of hatred for their fellow Americans for a multitude of reasons and when the same pressures that brought down Egypt and Tunisia come to your city what do you think they’ll be willing to do? To appease a radicalized Muslim population they are advocating letting Americans die even though that action will have no concrete benefits to them personally, what will they do when they haven’t eaten in a couple of days.

Stock up on weapons. The enemy lives among us.

Cold Driven Fish Die off Feared in Texas

The die offs may be perfectly natural but they are adding up world wide. Fish kills are especially alarming for the survivalist. Your plans for harvesting fish after a collapse might go from hard work to impossible dream. From The Brownsville Herald:

A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department official said there were reports of floating fish as a cold snap hit South Texas Thursday.

A day earlier, the department had announced the temporary closure of saltwater fishing spots along the coast, including Brazos Santiago Pass near Brownsville.

On Thursday, Mark Lingo, the Lower Laguna Madre Ecosystem leader, said floating fish were reported near the pass.

“We’re on standby right now,” Lingo said. “We’re watching the weather and water temperatures. … We’re probably looking at a fish kill, but we don’t know how substantial it will be at this point.”

On Thursday morning water temperatures were below the “lethal threshold for a lot of fish” — 4 degrees to 10 degrees Celsius, or about 39.2 degrees to 50 degrees Fahrenheit, he said. A 3.9-degree Celsius reading, or 39 degrees Fahrenheit, came from the Coast Guard Thursday morning, he said.

A major freeze in 1989 dropped the temperature in Brownsville to 16 degrees, killing an estimated 11 million coastal fish, according to a TPWD press release. Texas has about two million acres of bays and estuaries that are susceptible to freeze, the same release said.

The magnitude of a possible fish kill likely won’t be known until this weekend or as late as Monday, Lingo said, because dead fish won’t float until temperatures warm up.

At least there’s some good news in this instance:

Despite the alarming nature of fish kills brought on by extreme weather, Lingo said it won’t necessarily affect the ecosystem negatively and other wildlife like shrimp and crabs will be unaffected.

“In the short term there will be less fish in the bay,” Lingo said. “In the long term, the fish will decompose and add nutrients. … It’s kind of like putting fertilizer on a field.”

The added nutrients, he said, will help algae grow, thereby increasing the number of shrimp because of a larger food source. This sort of ecosystem change has been seen in the past after cold snaps, he added.

Of course fishermen and charter boats will probably have a hard couple of years.
