By John Galt December 17, 2011 – 23:00 ET The video via Al-Jazeera only begins to tell the story: With 9 dead and 430 wounded as reported by Al-Jazeera, the winter of discontent with the military junta running Egypt is expanding as is the opportunity for Islamists who are about to take power to cultivate new military leaders to replace the current crop with officers sympathetic to their goals. What has the protesters really angry this time is that the military openly beat female...
By John Galt December 10, 2011 – 22:15 ET So much for the U.S. taxpayer getting their money’s worth again. The NATO created war to insure reliable delivery of cheap oil to Italy and Southern Europe appears to be unraveling week by week as the various rebel groups inside Libya continue to fracture and split on various tribal lineages as well as secular versus hardline Islamist ideals. Tonight is no different as an initial report crossed the AP wires about an assassination attempt on...
By John Galt December 5, 2011 – 18:30 ET Just over 24 hours ago, I stated that it was no big deal that a UAV (drone) was lost under the presumption that it was a Predator or older technology that would be no big deal if it were lost over Iranian airspace. Now it is a big deal because it is acknowledged to be an RQ-170 Stealth Drone per this Fox News Report on info from the Pentagon: Watch the latest video at...
By John Galt December 4, 2011 – 22:30 ET Hard as this is to believe, there are media sources and bloggers proclaiming that Vladimir Putin suffered a defeat to the Communist Party of Russia and the shift of power from the United Russia Party to a greater percentage to the old line Communists appears to have occurred via the parliamentary elections today in Russia. From RIA Novosti: Backing for Putin party dwindles as it hovers around 50-percent mark in State Duma election To quote...
By John Galt December 4, 2011 – 21:45 ET Two stories from Reuter’s African news wire tells the tale of trouble that so many of us warned would be a result of these “popular” uprisings. The first story is straight out of the conflict of cultures under way in the nation of Tunisia: Islamists and secularists in Tunisia stand-off Last I checked, from this particular blog, all I can say is: But hey, who am I to say that? Oh yes, that guy who...
By John Galt December 4, 2011 – 16:45 ET While the mainstream media and blogosphere searches desperately for the “oh my God we are all going to die” story of the day, the reality of the story behind the alleged shooting down of the drone is somewhat more overblown than the usual hysterical rantings of the Iranian regime. Reality? This is not the first drone shot down, and it will not be the last. The reason it is a big deal is not that...
By John Galt November 29, 2011 – 23:15 ET This time however, it is different as the schedule accelerates and includes flight deck testing and exercises which means the Chinese communists are getting serious about deploying this sucker soon enough. From the People’s Daily Online November 30th edition: Aircraft carrier sails from port for new test By Li Xiaokun and Hu Yinan (China Daily) BEIJING – China’s aircraft carrier left port on Tuesday for a second round of sea trials, which are likely to include test flights from...
By John Galt November 28, 2011 – 08:00 ET The editorial cartoon in this morning’s edition of Pakistan Today tells the tale of woe the U.S. mainstream media will attempt to hide from the masses to prevent any political backlash. The outrage in Pakistan is impossible to miss and it is doubtful that a simple increase in financial aid will pacify the people or government of Pakistan at this time. After years of errors like the attack over the holiday, if it was an...
By John Galt November 21, 2011 – 17:45 ET So is President Obama happy yet with the body count or shall he come out with another proclamation of just how wonderful the “Arab Spring” movement is in Egyptian cities? Per Reuters (click to read story here), the body count is at 33 with over 1,250 wounded thus far. The Muslim Brotherhood has vowed to “not” participate in any further demonstrations in an attempt to calm the waters before the election period. What is worse...
By John Galt November 20, 2011 -13:35 ET From Al-Jazeera Television: The military leadership in Cairo is blaming the “protests” on foreign involvement so it would appear that the disaster of the Arab Spring is accelerating as predicted into total anarchy. Follow the story here at at AJE via this story at the link below: Standoff sets in at Egypt’s Tahrir Square 11/20 1400 ET UPDATE: 192 reportedly injured so far; numbers on arrests unknown.

By John Galt November 16, 2011 – 17:50 ET In an article back on March 25, 2011 and on several podcasts, I warned about the ring of fire surrounding Saudi Arabia and the instability being instigated by the Iranians and their Shiite allies working to weaken the House of Saud and its influence over the region. Fast forward to the news from the Kuwait Times today and the exploding corruption scandal which appears to be awakening an Arab Spring type of demonstration in one...
By John Galt November 6, 2011 – 16:08 ET The assassination of FARC leader Alfonso Cano might be viewed as a victory against communism and narco-terror but in reality this is a huge blow for the Iranians who have spent years cultivating relationships with Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez and various rebel movements like FARC, the remanants of the Zapitistas in the Chiapas state of Mexico, and other Central American nations designed of course to prepare the battlefield for future action against the “great Satan”...
By John Galt October 26, 2011 – 07:30 ET The mainstream media continues to attempt to paint the Occupy Wall Street crowd as a bunch of iProtesters, carrying their Apple products around the parks and protesting the unfair aspects of Wall Street and our financial system with the inference that the monied crowd imposes their will on them and that the mistakes they made are society’s fault. The problem with their argument of course is that middle class America wants to sympathize with part...
By John Galt October 9, 2011 – 18:00 ET Apparently the Obama regime’s support of the Arab Spring movement will be forgotten no matter how many innocent bodies are piled up. From Reuters tonight: Nineteen killed as Egyptian Christians, police clash 5:38pm EDT By Dina Zayed and Patrick Werr CAIRO (Reuters) – Nineteen people were killed in Cairo on Sunday when Christians, some carrying crosses and pictures of Jesus, clashed with military police, medical and security sources said, in the latest sectarian flare-up in...
By John Galt October 4, 2011 – 21:30 ET On my radio program my guests and I covered the forgotten story of Fukushima and here are the news links so you can read and decide for yourself as to how severe this problem continues to be. In my opinion, Japan is on a path to revert to a second world economic power and ultimately the Asian economic equal of Mexico as the population will have to be moved further and further away from the...
By John Galt September 27, 2011 – 21:54 ET From the ABC News (click on link to read in full): Nightmare in Libya: Thousands of Surface-to-Air Missiles Unaccounted For video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player The next big question is where does the flaming plane come flying out of the sky; Europe or the U.S.? Unfortunately, there is one more large question that we have not heard any answers from the administration on: Where are all the thousands of anti-tank missiles from the various bases?
By John Galt September 24, 2011 – 08:34 ET As I predicted earlier this week on my broadcast, the Russian people are demanding a dictator with unyielding will and power to confront their weakening and fracturing national structure. The return of Putin all but seals the deal that the Cold War will return as James Earl Obama will fill the role of diluting America’s power and worldwide standing to a point similar to the 1979 era fiasco many of us remember. For those of...
By John Galt September 15, 2011 – 18:00 ET The United States has elected to neglect, ignore, and bypass the fruits of the ignorant, rookie laden Hillary Clinton State Department by turning the other cheek as a new arm of Al Qaeda found the freedom to expand into the most dangerous region in the world. The emergence of a jihad movement in the Egyptian Sinai region illustrated their recklessness with the attack last month on the Israeli border but the danger expands far beyond...
By John Galt September 13, 2011 – 16:30 ET The news of the last forty-eight hours out of Afghanistan has been nothing short of a complete disaster. First this story from Wired.com’s “Danger Room” section outlining the story, a repeat basically of what the Obama said in June of this year, where they wished to embrace the idea of a negotiated settlement with the Taliban (see: U.S. Prepares to Talk to Taliban It Wanted to ‘Destroy’). Of course the idea of talks and CIA/Pentagon...
By John Galt September 12, 2011 – 00:25 ET Did your esteemed host and commentator suddenly hit his head and go nuts? No. In the long term, in other words, twenty years from now or longer, China is a direct threat to American world hegemony. In the interim it makes for a nice creature under the bed for long term strategic issues and of course, current Politik think in the U.S. The problem is that the American public is absorbed in an election year...
By John Galt September 9, 2011 – 22:00 ET On my radio program tonight I covered a story that caused heads to explode from Laredo, TX to Douglas, AZ. Now that I have had some time to fix some dinner and use some crazy glue to re-assemble my remaining brain fragments, it is time to share how yours and mine tax dollars helped to fund a research study to assist the global climate change loons in their arguments by “demonstrating” that migration, aka, known...
By John Galt September 6, 2011 – 09:20 ET Just read the headlines and be thankful we have people advocating their “rights” to protest and do their worst in our nation. Latest insurgent attack kills 9 in Iraq Suicide bombers kill 20 in Pakistan Eleven dead, 65 injured in Delhi blast 19 killed as militants, Yemen soldiers clash

By John Galt August 20, 2011 – 07:30 ET The headlines this morning and throughout the week are stunning. Just click on any of the headlines to read the story in full. It would appear that the world’s “September Surprise” may well be an entire region engulfed in conflict. Battle rages in cities outside besieged Tripoli Egypt summons Israeli ambassador over killings Israel-Gaza attacks stoke tension with Cairo Arab League to hold meeting on Gaza on Sunday Israel says investigating Egyptian deaths Turkey strikes...
By John Galt August 14, 2011 – 09:27 ET The story of the violence in the Middle East and North Africa has faded from popularity because the cable news honks and newspaper types have no agenda to promote for the regime any longer yet the attacks, the bloodshed, and the repression continues. In Algeria earlier today, a bomb attack injures 29 including 8 policemen per a report from AFP. This region is still a tinder box yet our media ignores it. When Ramadan comes...
By John Galt August 3, 2011 On July 27, 2011, the Chinese government released a story via its state press agency, Xinhua, that stretched the credulity of anything anyone could ever have made up, even since the time of the old Radio Moscow World Service or Radio Tirana news broadcasts: China refitting aircraft carrier body for research, training Within the article, the following portion of the article is to assure the American people they should fear nothing from this as the Chinese military has...
By John Galt July 30, 2011 The New York Times is breaking what will be the most under reported story of the weekend thanks to the manufactured crisis in Washington in the Sunday print edition. The United States has been falsely claiming under the pretense of political advancement via two Presidents that the Iraqi situation has been stabilized and victory achieved. Reality on the ground, along with the dictates of the news from nations and media outside the sphere of our mainstream propaganda influence,...
By John Galt July 27, 2011 Uh, care to wager on if the Japanese people permit any more nuclear power plants to be built on their homeland? This story is disturbing because if such an accident were to occur in the United States you can count on the Department of Energy and whatever power company was involved, especially if it were a G.E. constructed facility, to cover up the exposure in a blind heartbeat. In fact you could count on not just the exposure...
By John Galt July 26, 2011 As I was scanning the overnight news feeds, a story popped up in the July 27th edition of the Taipei Times which caused me to take pause as I read it: EMP defense necessary, legislators say WHY WAIT?DPP Legislator Tsai Huang-liang and KMT Legislator Lin Yu-fang said budget concerns should not hinder efforts to protect the MND’s new headquarters By Vincent Y. Chao / Staff Reporter The lack of protection against electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons at the Ministry...
By John Galt July 24, 2011 The news flow has been rightfully focused on the growing U.S. debt ceiling crisis but meanwhile the ocean rats known as pirates continue their plunder. Reuters just published a story recently about an Italian oil tanker with 23 crew members being seized off the coast of Benin in West Africa. The world’s powers have refused to address this issue off of the Horn of Africa beyond concrete steps like those taken by China and Russia, namely termination of...
By John Galt July 23, 2011 Look for this to expand as the British economy deteriorates further with some estimates showing 3-5% increases in unemployment on the Isles themselves thus a far worse situation in Northern Ireland. From the Belfast Telegraph these two stories in the Sunday Morning print edition: Bomb found near Glentoran’s stadium By Catherine Lynagh Saturday, 23 July 2011 A suspicious object found close to The Oval football ground in east Belfast was an incendiary bomb, police have confirmed. Several homes...
By John Galt July 23, 2011 And one of the most dangerous jobs in the world claims another physicist. That’s right, besides being the Mullah flipping the bird at an incoming Hellfire dropped by a Predator, the next most dangerous employment position is working for the Iranian nuclear program and apparently this clown had a suicide wish by staying on the job. From Reuters: Iranian nuclear scientist killed in Tehran: report TEHRAN | Sat Jul 23, 2011 12:03pm EDT (Reuters) – An Iranian physicist...
