by John Galt July 15, 2012 21:15 ET Some stories, like this one from Reuters, are just too good to pass up linking to: Egyptians pelt Clinton motorcade with tomatoes <excerpted> A tomato struck an Egyptian official in the face, and shoes and a water bottle landed near the armored cars carrying Clinton’s delegation in the port city of Alexandria. A senior state department official said that neither Clinton nor her vehicle, which were around the corner from the…
by John Galt July 8, 2012 17:10 ET No further comment is necessary as this President, our military, and others like the Jimmy Carter regime who believe that conversations with murderers will result in freedom and justice for all. Cry America, because our nation is now a participant, an endorser, of wanton murder at home and abroad.
by John Galt July 6, 2012 02:00 ET According to the anointed one, President Barrack Hussein Obama, the fact that a bunch of radical Islamists winning power in Arab nations who supported the downing of the PanAm flight and attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001 is a good thing. Needless to say, reality dictates otherwise. Breaking hard from the UK Telegraph via Jamie Dettmer: Libya elections: Muslim Brotherhood set to lead government Yeah, this is going to…

Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. 2The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid. 3The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the LORD…
by John Galt June 24, 2012 09:15 ET I am following Al-Jazeera television live along with blogs in two English language newspapers in Cairo awaiting results of the Presidential election announcement which was due at 09:00 ET. As the news breaks, I shall post it here. With the link to this story and the headline below the photo form Ahram Online, I shall be closing my coverage of this event.

by John Galt June 23, 2012 15:40 ET According to the Egyptian newspaper Ahram, the SCAF has agreed to issue the results of the Egyptian Presidential Elections at 9 a.m. ET (1300 GMT) Sunday morning. The question after that is if the military does in fact verify some rumors on the internet via Egypt on Friday, will indeed the nation descend into total chaos? From Ahram this morning: Egypt’s electoral commission to unveil presidential elections results Sunday 3pm Ahram Online,…
by John Galt June 20, 2012 19:30 ET Why not? He’s been alive. He’s been dead. He’s apparently alive again. Usually when the dead come to life they start sucking down bath salts and chasing people to eat them on the streets of South Beach. Here’s the latest via the link to a story below from Al-Jazeera: Mubarak in ‘stable condition’ in hospital Oh the skits Chevy Chase could enjoy with this story if he still hosted “Weekend Update.”
by John Galt June 19, 2012 17:35 ET Per the following Reuters story at the link below: Egyptian ex-president Mubarak clinically dead: sources This wold make for one of the shortest prison sentences for modern day dictators in history and throw the entire mess back into the streets as rumors of the Egyptian elections being rigged by the military are sweeping the crowds in Alexandria and Cairo.

by John Galt June 17, 2012 14:35 ET The polls have just closed in Egypt and this election is just as important as the Greek elections despite popular belief. This election could well plunge Egypt either into a military dictatorship under a Mubarak stooge or worse, and Islamist v. secular civil war involving every nation in North Africa and the Middle East. —————————————————————— UPDATE 18:50 ET – From al-Ahram: 12:26 Mursi (56.4 per cent) is now ahead of Shafiq (43.4 per…

by John Galt June 17, 2012 09:55 ET It’s just too classic to pass up. Too bad the world doesn’t understand that Merkel is much more like Gorbachev or Brezhnev than Hitler. I’ll begin my live coverage of today’s events after 1 p.m. ET here at Shenandoah.
by John Galt June 17, 2012 08:30 ET With the news of the last week, some of which I have linked to in this piece, it is amazing when one takes a step back and realizes that we truly are witnessing a world in turmoil. This is how it begins with a lack of U.S. leadership as a vacuum creates opportunity for radicals to create problems worldwide, and of course the biggest black hole in the world is in Washington, D.C. where the…
by John Galt June 16, 2012 14:30 ET “We should save our effort for a second revolution.” - Saeed, a butcher in Cairo on today’s Presidential Elections Stability? Peace? An Arab Spring which Conservative commentator Bill Kristol and President Obama agreed on being in the best interest of the region and people of Egypt? It would not be so laughable if it were not for the rapes, murder, torture, religious persecution, and cruelty being inflicted on the citizens of Egypt at…
by John Galt June 16, 2012 07:15 ET Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who became heir to the throne last year at the age of 78, has passed away. He was also the head of the country’s interior ministry and considered a hard core traditionalist willing to work with Western governments while demanding non-intervention from world powers in Saudi Arabian affairs. The Crown Prince’s passing now brings a wee bit more instability to the region as the new successor must be found…
by John Galt June 12, 2012 16:10 ET Uh, paging the Pentagon and Obama regime, your doorbell is ringing. From PressTV in Iran: Iran set to build nuclear-powered submarines: Commander <excerpted> In a Tuesday interview with Fars news agency, Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini pointed to the Iranian Navy’s plan to build super-heavy nuclear-fueled submarines, saying, “Since we possess peaceful nuclear technology, therefore we can also put on our agenda the construction of propulsion systems for nuclear submarines.” Zamini expressed…
by John Galt June 10, 2012 19:58 ET Courtesy of the excellent blogger documenting the ongoing disaster from the Fukushima nuclear nightmare, Fukushima Diary: Foreigners leaving Japan The number of foreigner’s registration (so-called “Alien registration”) decreased by 56,000 people from 2010 to 2011, MInistry of justice announced on 6/8/2012.

by John Galt June 5, 2012 22:30 ET The world must not have enough instability. Of course if one asks the Chinese think about the headline above, their furor at the full story has yet to be revealed in their Communist Party newspapers. The cover for these exercises is practice for future operations in the Gulf of Aden to repel piracy in the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. The story from the Business Standard seems innocent enough (click on title to read it…
by John Galt June 3, 2012 10:45 ET And as if the world doesn’t have enough on its plate tonight, let’s raise the ante with this story from the Hong Kong Standard which should reassure everyone who has to travel to China, Hong Kong, or Macau: Bird flu boy spends 5 days in ward after wrong call The story by Mary Ann Benitez exhibits the joys of government health care along with the blissful deniability of communist efficiency.

by John Galt June 3, 2012 12:40 ET So much for the model of German peace and stability they present to the world when discussing “their” rational dealings and solutions for the PIIGS debacle. In Hamburg, Germany last night over 3,500 left wing radicals faced off against approximately 700 Neo-Nazis and the losers were the police and property owners. According to an article in the Austrian newspaper Wiener Zeitung (click here to read; translation required) the following excerpt tells the tale of woe (Using…
by John Galt June 3, 2012 10:15 ET The German newspaper Der Spiegel finally reports what most of us figured out years ago: Israel Deploys Nuclear Weapons on German-Built Submarines (Click on the title above to read the article in full) While there are some that might be aghast at the idea of Israel deploying such weapons to defend itself from radical states like Iran and Syria, the reality is that this gives them a retaliatory strike capacity against those…
by John Galt June 1, 2012 05:30 ET The warnings about the Balkans, not the PIIGS in general, being the flash point which could spark into a full fledged war have been ignored by both Europe and the American government yet the idea of business as usual marches on with our ignorant diplomatic corps. To make matters worse the failure to deal with the growing hostility between Greece and Turkey, especially over the Cyprus issue, is inviting a wider regional conflict that would…
by John Galt May 20, 2012 10:00 ET The world is focused so intently on the coming collapse of Greece and their withdrawal from the European Monetary Union that one of the byproducts of the regional instability in the Balkans continues to operate much like the Israeli Air Force has been in the same region. This week saw the first direct interaction between Israeli Air Force and Turkish fighter planes near Cyprus that I can recall in modern times (From Hurriyet Daily News see:…
by John Galt May 16, 2012 21:40 ET In what I can only call as a shocking document, I’ll leave this to the reader’s imagination as to how this will be perceived by the more radical and tempted members of America’s young Islamist nutcases. This is a direct shot at those who wish to do harm to our families, friends, and neighbors and should be taken for what it is: A recruitment tool for Islamic youth dissatisfied with our nation and ideals. …
by John Galt May 18, 2012 19:05 ET Last night on my live podcast I covered this story then after a customary four hours of sleep the realization hit me today of the implications of this story form the Jerusalem Post: IDF building backup facilities for key sites The Eurozone is in the midst of a total economic collapse, the United States mired in the summer doldrums of a political campaign between Tweedle-D and Tweedle-bo-R-edom, and in the mean time, Iran and…
by John Galt May 13, 2012 17:00 ET The headline from the Greek newspaper Tovima was disturbing enough: One in two police officers voted “Golden Dawn” The story itself though speaks volumes as to just how hardened law enforcement in Greece has turned against globalism and those wishing to impose the will of the European Union on their nation. This excerpt (translated using Google) spells trouble for the Mediterranean nation’s future should the next government wish to force the country to remain…
by John Galt May 13, 2012 11:30 ET In a move which is designed to rebuff Iran militarily and the West economically, Bahrain is expected to announce a closer political union with Saudi Arabia during a summit of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to be held in Riyadh tomorrow. The approach is expected to be part of a broader GCC initiative to develop a European Union type of political and financial union which will draw on the feelings of the people wishing to re-establish a…
by John Galt May 12, 2012 23:30 ET As if the crisis involving Iran and the world needs any more gasoline to fan the flames higher, MP Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh of the Majlis Foreign Policy Subcommittee of Iran’s Parliament warned that the upcoming negotiations in Baghdad will fail if the West demands the Iranians cease any uranium enrichment activities. The problem with this stance is that if they pursue this course of action it is an almost 100% guaranteed mortal lock that the next sound…

by John Galt May 6, 2012 12:58 ET From the newspaper Protothema: It does not take much imagination to figure out some of the party symbols such as the Communists K.K.E. or the Neo-Nazi Golden Dawn (XP.AYTH) but here is the breakdown of the poll from the newspaper story which is creating a huge stir in the Greek online community: ND, PASOK and SYRIZA head to head! 06/05/2012 19:00 Unprecedented election thriller show the exit polls.

by John Galt April 17, 2012 22:30 ET While the American public is glued to the latest edition of Jersey Shore: Secret Service Style, the world is moving closer to a disaster in the Middle East which will change the shape of U.S. foreign policy for the next fifty years. The newspaper Makor Rishon assembled various former government officials, retired military, and professors to determine a likely outcome to an Israeli surprise attack on October 16, 2012. The net results of the attack estimate…
by John Galt April 12, 2012 19:30 ET The theory that porn and Iranian missile technology will create a viable ICBM, er, satellite for the nutty North Korean dictator has blown apart again. Per numerous news sources, the launch of the Unha-3 rocket did fail in mid-flight, failing to launch the satellite into orbit. The question becomes now did it really fail or did we “fail” the launch using some secret technology as pictured above…. Latest story from Reuters at the link below: North…

by John Galt April 4, 2012 19:20 ET On December 17, 2010, a previously unknown street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi walked out into the streets of Tunis and in protest of continued government interference and overbearing policies, set himself on fire. This act of self immolation set the entire Arab world on fire, causing romantic Western political imbeciles to think that this action and the political protests which followed were the acts of Islamic versions of George Washington and deserved the unqualified support of…
by John Galt April 3, 2012 05:30 ET Thankfully, it is as contained as the financial crisis. Or is it? The lies being told to the American and Japanese public since the Fukushima disaster are well documented in various news sources around the world but no one wishes to address the long term threat. This morning in a Voice of America article, the news gets much worse: New Data Show Fukushima Radiation Moved Rapidly Out Into Pacific Ocean (click on the title above to…
by John Galt April 2, 2012 19:55 ET The disaster which is the Middle East is the gift that keeps on giving to oil speculators in addition to the current U.S. regime. The instability of the region with the Iranian and Syrian situation gathered more steam today with the Kurdistan regional government cutting off all oil shipments to the central government in Baghdad. This basically cuts the Iraqi government off at the knees financially which only expands a corrupt nation’s crisis from a regional…
