Sergeant Danny Nightengale thanks the "great British public" after winning appeal
We were all pulling for you over here Danny - S.L.
Jailed SAS sniper Danny Nightingale walked free after his 18 month sentence was suspended following a successful appeal. Earlier this month after he admitted illegally possessing a Glock 9mm pistol and more than 300 rounds of ammunition.
Judges at the Court Martial Appeal Court in London have cut the term to 12 months and said it should be suspended. They said he could be released immediately.
Outside the court, 37-year-old Sgt Nightingale thanked his wife and backers for their "trust and support". He also thanked the "great British public" and said he was "humbled" by the reaction to his plight.
His wife Sally, 38, said she was "very, very happy" and "delighted".
Mrs Nightingale, who earlier wept at the judges' verdict, said: "We fought for this for the last three weeks and we got justice today and I thank everybody in that court and the public."
I'm guessing we have not heard the last of Sergeant Danny Nightengale, and I would not be surprised in the least if I encounter him in my journeys across the Pond. Godspeed, Sergeant Nightengale . . .

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS
Anonymous Hacker Looking at 30 Years to Life
Jeremy Hammond
According to the indictment filed in March, Hammond illegally obtained credit card information stolen from Stratfor and uploaded it to a server that was unbeknownst to him maintained by the federal government. Months earlier the FBI had arrested Hector Xavier Monsegur, a New York hacker who spearheaded LulzSec under the alias “Sabu,” and relied on from thereon out to help the authorities nab other individuals affiliated with Anonymous and LulzSec. The feds say Hammond openly admitted to compromising Stratfor’s data in online chats with their informant and unsealed a three count indictment against him relating to hacking back in March.
Comment: This dirtbag is the face of sociopath misfits who cause so much wanton chaos & destruction to military, government and business security operations, costing private citizens in anti-virus software, overhead to financial services and in the end more to our tax burden. I hope they go after and round up all these miscreants, lock them up and throw away the keys. Or better yet, send them to Guantanamo and let them hang out with their partners-in-crime the terrorists because thats what they are when you really get down to it. First order of business is get this piece of crap a haircut and have him deloused; then move on the rest of the worthless ones with too much time on their hands.

THE HONEY TRAP
British Scientist Gets Five Years in Agentina Jail in 'Honey Trap' Drug Smuggling Case
This poor guy courted Ms. Milani for almost 3 months online, only to have his dreams of a heavenly breast-filled retirement come crashing down, and hard.
Now he's looking at five years in one of Argentina's toughest jails.
Video and more photos at: Professor Paul Frampton Convicted in Denise Milani 'Honey Trap' Case
A beautiful big-breasted woman will get you every time.
Amazing how a scientist could get sucked into such a honey trap.
Understandable, though, to become mesmerized by a rack of that size.
Sheesh.
Professional Comment: This is an angle on cyber scams that I warn my clients against. In this situation, it's a combination of the classic honey trap, virtual kidnapping and tiger kidnapping;
They lured him with a beautiful woman, of course - the Honey Trap. I always tell them; if you're in a bar or a hotel lobby, and you suddenly become the object of fascination to the most beautiful woman you have ever seen in your life - ALARM BELLS SHOULD BE RINGING IN YOUR HEAD ! ! !
This guy's lucky he didn't wake up in a hotel room missing a kidney, because that's one of the latest angles they're using beautiful women for as bait down south. A kidney will get you up to 25K on the black market.
"Virtual Kidnapping" is where you get an email or a phone call saying they got your husband / wife / son / daughter - whatever - send money. In reality it's a scam - your loved one isn't even there, and you're sending money to a bunch of scam artists. The key thing is to ask a proof of life question, like, "Ask my (loved one) where we went for vacation last year?"
Tiger kidnapping is where they hold a loved one and make you do a crime - often involving transporting drugs.
In this case, they lured the sucker down there with the Denise Milani bait - he had to be an absolute IDIOT to fall for that. Then, they met him at the other end; no babe but here, take this suitcase to her in Argentina - this is where he CONFIRMED he's an idiot. Total lack of situational awareness at every stage of the game.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF . . . CREEPY
Obama Youth Brigade Hand Gesture:
From the history books, it turns out that the "Sign of Progress" was borrowed from none other than Adolf Hitler himself. This was found at German Propaganda Archive; the photo is described on that site:
"The hands of the Führer organize his speech. This picture captures Hitler's hands as he speaks of the unity of the National Socialist and socialist ideas."
Nice work, sheeple. You got played.

THE JAILING OF A HERO
SAS Sergeant Danny Nightingale has been jailed for possessing a “war trophy” pistol presented to him by the Iraqi Army for outstanding service.
Sgt Danny Nightingale is a British Special Forces sniper who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was sentenced to 18 months in military detention by a court martial, the week before Remembrance Sunday (11 November - Veterans Day here in the US).
Nightingale's sentence was described as the “betrayal of a war hero”, At his court martial, even the prosecution described him as a serviceman of exemplary character, who had served his country for 17 years, 11 in the special forces.
The court was told that he returned to Britain in a hurry after two friends were killed in Iraq, leaving his equipment — including the pistol — to be packed up by colleagues.
The soldier’s former commanding officer and politicians have called for the sentence to be overturned.
Lt Col Richard Williams, Sgt Nightingale’s commanding officer in Iraq, said the sentence “clearly needed to be overturned immediately”.
He said: “His military career has been ruined and his wife and children face being evicted from their home — this is a total betrayal of a man who dedicated his life to the service of his country.”
Patrick Mercer, the Conservative MP for Newark and a former infantry officer, said he planned to take up the case with the Defence Secretary. Simon McKay, Sgt Nightingale’s lawyer, said: “On Remembrance Sunday, when the nation remembers its war heroes, my client — one of their number — is in a prison cell.
"I consider the sentence to be excessive and the basis of the guilty plea unsafe. It is a gross miscarriage of justice and grounds of appeal are already being prepared.”

In His Own Words
In a moving letter to his wife, Sgt Danny Nightingale tells of his disbelief at being imprisoned by the country to which he dedicated his life to serving.
In the letter to his wife Sally, Sgt Nightingale writes: “I have often written to you from wherever I have served but never thought I’d be writing to you from prison let alone one in England.
“I was prepared for anything when I went on operations. I knew that there was always the chance that I might say goodbye and not return. It comes with the job and I accepted that.
“But of all of the things I thought might happen, I never expected to be locked away by the country I’ve dedicated my life to serving.”
This was sent in from a fellow veteran. The UK and the great Commonwealth Nations are our closest allies and our greatest friends in the world, and the SAS has been through thick and thin with us. Now one of their guys who risked it all when our nation asked, is being hung up to dry for a rule that most Americans - especially those of who hold the Second Amendment near & dear - will find sickening.
Danny Nightingale is getting an appeal next week but there are no guarantees. When I see this taken to one of our own - including the Brits - I want to see that justice prevails.
Spread the word far & wide . . .

THE EXPLOITATION OF DAVID PETRAEUS
Now that the dust has settled on the Petraeus thing, let us revisit.
Bottom Line Up Front: The Petraeus Affair is part of the Obama Administration's cover of the whole Benghazi mess - that one of our overseas missions was attacked by al Qaeda on the anniversary of 9/11, and that rescue forces were ordered to stand down in order to avoid a failed operation ala Carter's hostage rescue. Such a disaster could have cost Obama the Presidency.
Hence the pervasive myth of the attack being a mob infuriated by an anti-Muslim video posted on YouTube. We know from the timeline of events in Benghazi on September 11th that this is not so.
Incredibly, the main point of this entire affair still eludes our self-appointed Keepers of Conventional Wisdom out there in the mainstream media, and that is:
WHY was David Petraeus fired?
Petraeus was not fired for an extramarital affair. Consider; by the Democrats' own standards, there is nothing wrong about an older man in a position of power and influence having an affair with a younger, starry eyed woman.
Why ruin a good man's career over something as irrelevant as getting a little on the side? In '98, the Democrats and their willing minions in the press even went so far as to claim that lying to cover oneself over such an event - to the point of committing perjury under oath in a court of law - was okay, that it happens all the time, that in fact telling such lies are good for everybody concerned.
So why was Petraeus fired? More to the point - why was he not fired when it first became apparent that the Director of the CIA was having an affair and that his mistress may have gained access to classified material?
I have offered a timeline - as best as we know it - HERE. A summary follows:
According to Petraeus friend Colonel Steve Boylan, the affair with Paula Broadwell began in November 2011. This is significant, because it clears Petraeus of any possible violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Personally, it doesn't bother me that General Petraeus was getting some on the side - I'm no Boy Scout. The only issue I have is the concept that Petraeus might have been banging this Broadwell bird - somebody else's wife by the way - while he was supposed to be leading troops in theater, in Afghanistan. That would not only have been illegal, but extrememly disgraceful.
Colonel Boylan's convenient revelation is what buddies are for in the military; to help cover your ass when you step on your dick. Thanks, Steve - you're a good wingman!
Then, in May of 2012, Tampa socialite Jill Kelley notifies a friend in the FBI that she's been receiving harassing emails, and a formal FBI investigation begins soon after.
(The fact that Jill Kelley's FBI friend was a guy who shared shirtless photos of himself with Dr. Kelley's wife is just another juicy morsel on the side of this whole thing, and is essentially irrelevant. Also, the 20-30k worth of naughty emails General Allen shared with Jill Kelley is also irrelevant; simply more dirt to muddy the waters.)
Sometime in the summer of 2012 the FBI determined that the email trail leads to Broadwell. The investigation reveals a private Gmail account using an alias that belongs to Petraeus, and agents believe the two are having an affair. FBI Director Robert Mueller is notified. At some point during the investigation, the FBI interviews Petraeus and Broadwell.
In July of 2012 we are to believe that the affair between Petraeus and Broadwell came to an end; this according to Petraeus' friend Boylan. Again, this is irrelevant. However, we are told that Attorney General Eric Holder was not notified until late summer 2012. The official timeline offered by the Obama Administration is that the President was not informed until after the election, and that Petraeus submitted his resignation letter shortly thereafter.
This is where I have a problem with the official line of crap we're being fed, and this is where things get sinister.
We are expected to believe that the Director of Central Intelligence was being investigated by the FBI over an affair - with concern over possible leak of classified material or the potential for blackmail of the nations' highest intelligence officer - and the President of the United States was NOT informed?
Let me ask another question: is the word "STUPID" written across my forehead?
Sorry, I'm not buying it. Of course Obama knew about the affair. Such a potentially damaging issue at the height of the campaign was absolutely radioactive, and as such had to be managed with extreme care.
So they covered for Petraeus, let him stay in place for two reasons: A) potential fallout from the scandal could cost Obama the election, and B) now they had something to hold over the head of the Director of the CIA - this is the way Team Obama conducts business.
Then Benghazi happened. We now know what occurred on the night of September 11th, and we also know that the story of Muslim mobs enraged by a YouTube video was a complete fabrication. It is not exactly clear who exactly cooked up this myth, but this is also irrelevant. The way everybody from the President of the United States on down was parroting this bizarre talking point makes it obvious to me that this cover story was propagated from the very top.
Essentially; the President of the United States masked from the American people a lethal terrorist attack on one of our overseas missions. Furthermore, somebody from within the National Command Authority - that is, either the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary of Defense - ordered rescue forces to stand down from responding to the attack on the consulate.
It was necessary to hide the truth about Benghazi from the American people, because Obama had made so much political capital from the killing of Bin Laden. A lethal al Qaeda attack on a US target overseas threatened his re-election chances, and so the lies.
General Petraeus himself participated in this cover-up, when he gave “misleading” testimony on 14 September to the House Intelligence Committee on. In that session, Petraeus pointed to a protest over an anti-Islam YouTube video as a primary reason for the attacks on the US facilities in Benghazi, despite an abundance of intelligence pointing to a preplanned terrorist assault on the US consulate and CIA annex there.
Once Obama's re-election was was in the bag, however, uncomfortable questions remained about the events in Benghazi. And so now the Petraeus Affair becomes a convenient red herring to throw out there. Something as big and juicy as that was enough to suck all the oxygen out of the Benghazi story, and so it was time to play that card, throw it out there on the table.
The tale of the General and his hot mistress is made-for-supermarket-tabloids material on steroids. And the Democrats get two for the price of one; not only is this an effective smokescreen to the mess that is Benghazi, but this also takes a very charismatic and respected Republican out of the field of potential candidates for 2016.
The actions of Obama & Co are disgraceful enough, but we expect this kind of behavior of them. This is what they are, this is the Chicago Way.
Petraeus? To me his biggest crime is being stupid enough to think that, as Director of the CIA, an electronic email trail could possibly remain uncovered. General Petraeus was obviously doing all his thinking with his little head, when he should have been thinking with his big head.
To me the greatest travesty is being perpetrated by the Left-leaning Mainstream Media; the Benghazi cover-up is potentially a far greater crime than Watergate ever was, and this time the media is a willing participant in the cover-up. Obama plays them like a Stradivarius, and they wittingly pounced on Petraeus and served him up as raw meat for the masses.
There you have it, people; the total exploitation of General Petraeus.

TURKEY DAY MY WAY
Every year for Thanksgiving we deep fry two birds here at FireBase TigerLily. This is because the first will be devoured in it's entirety - they are that delicious - so the second bird is for the leftovers.
Thanksgiving is possibly my favorite holiday for several reasons. For one thing, I have so much to be thankful for, especially during these hard times, times of so much chaos and confusion. At our holiday table I always say a special prayer for our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines in the combat zones overseas, for the forces of our Commonwealth Allies, and for the forces of our special ally the State of Israel.
Thanksgiving falls near my birthday, and during my favorite time of the year; fall, when the leaves turn and the great "getting in shape" weather comes.
And last but not least, Thanksgiving is the time when we respect our Original National Bird - the Noble Turkey - and then . . .
. . . WE EAT HIM ! ! !
Every year around this time my favorite modern philosopher explains to us the true story of Thanksgiving, which I paraphrase here. It is remarkable how far from the truth the meaning of this uniquely American holiday has shifted, to the widely-accepted myth involving the survival of the first independent English colony in North America, due to the generosity of the Native Americans.
What we are taught in school is that when the Pilgrims came to the New World, they didn't know how to survive as pioneers in the wilderness. They were escaping tyranny in England, but after they got here the Indians - who were eventually to be wiped out - taught them how to do everything, fed them and so forth. So after a terrible winter of starvation and death, the Indians taught them how to plant corn, and shared with them game such as deer and wild turkey. The following harvest time they had a big feast where they all sat down and thanked the Indians for saving their lives.
But that's not what really happened. The story of the First Thanksgiving is actually the story of how Socialism fails, every time its tried.
Rush explains it best HERE

But that's not what really happened. The story of the First Thanksgiving is actually the story of how Socialism fails, every time its tried.
Rush explains it best HERE

DISGRACEFUL BEYOND WORDS
Her name is Lindsey Stone, and yes she actually did perform this act of supreme disrespect at Arlington National Cemetery.
And then to ensure that the entire world is aware what a complete idiot she is, Linsdey posted it on her Facebook page. That not being good enough, this charter member of the moron class doubled down on stupid with this lame explanation:
Sorry, Lindsey, you dumb cunt, this doesn't cut it. This is nothing more than the kind of wrongheaded logic your class offers to rationalize everything. What you did isn't defying authority, it's spitting on the graves of those who died to give a miserable microbe like you the freedom to chronicle such a dishonorable and disgraceful act.
This thing went viral on the Twitter-verse and out there in Facebook Land, predictably enough. I tried getting to the part of her employers website but their servers are inundated, predictably enough. You can try if you want; the scumsucking shitstain known as Lindsey Stone works for an outfit called LIFE Living Independently Forever of Cape Cod, Massechusetts.
I understand there is some angst on behalf of her employers about whether or not they should fire her worthless ass - that's because they are handwringing Liberals and decision-making skills are obviously not their strong suit. I'll make it easy for them - YES Lindsey Stone should be fired; she is no longer a suitable representative of an organization whose charter is to care for the handicapped. Especially when you consider how many veterans fall within that unfortunate category.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it

THE BETRAYAL OF DAVID PETRAEUS
It’s been a week now that the shocking and disgraceful Petraeus affair has been revealed to us. I say shocking and disgraceful not out of some kind of moral outrage – I’m no boy scout – but rather the incredible peripheral information of the affair that keeps emerging.
Bottom Line Up Front: this thing is intertwined and entangled with the attack on the US Consulate and the violent deaths of four Americans in Benghazi, in a manner as ironic and sinister as any Greek tragedy.
Yesterday General Petraeus admitted before Congress, that the Benghazi incident was a pre-meditated assault by an al Qaeda-linked militia. However, on September 14th Petraeus told Congress that the CIA’s take on the events; that the violence on a spontaneous protest triggered by an anti-Muslim video.
To gain understanding of the continuing cover-up of the Benghazi mess, let us examine the timeline of events:
30 June 2010 The Senate confirms Petraeus as the new commander for war in Afghanistan. Over the next year, Broadwell expands her research of Petraeus into an authorized biography. She makes multiple trips to Afghanistan and is given unprecedented access to Petraeus and his commanders.
6 September 2011 Petraeus is sworn in as CIA director with his wife, Holly, by his side. Broadwell keeps in contact with Petraeus and is later invited to his office for events, including a meeting with actress Angelina Jolie.
November 2011 Petraeus begins an extramarital affair with Broadwell, according to his friend, retired Army Colonel Steve Boylan.
24 January 2012 Broadwell's biography, "All In: The Education of General David Petraeus" is released.
30 January 2012 In an interview with her hometown paper, the Bismarck Tribune, Broadwell describes Petraeus as an inspirational figure who always takes care of his subordinates.
May 2012 Jill Kelley, (a Tampa socialite, not the porn star and producer/director) starts receiving harassing emails. The FBI begins investigating soon after.
Summer 2012 FBI agents determine that the email trail leads to Broadwell. They come across a private Gmail account using an alias that belongs to Petraeus. Emails between Petraeus and Broadwell lead agents to believe the two are having an affair. FBI Director Robert Mueller is notified. At some point during the investigation, the FBI interviews Petraeus and Broadwell.
July 2012 The affair between Petraeus and Broadwell ends, according to Petraeus' friend Boylan.
Late Summer 2012 Attorney General Eric Holder is notified. By this time, the FBI has long since concluded there was no national security breach, but continues investigating whether Petraeus had any role in the harassing emails sent to Kelley.
That’s the official story – that the affair ended in July, long prior to the events in Benghazi on September 11th of this year, and that there was no national security breach. However, two weeks before his resignation as Director of Central Intelligence, David Petraeus attended an event with Paula Broadwell.
According to a senior U.S. intelligence official who attended the annual Office of Strategic Services Society awards dinner on October 27th, the General and his mistress were openly together, moving about the room and mingling as a couple.
Incredibly, this took place more than a month after Broadwell was first interviewed by the FBI, according to multiple government and law enforcement officials. A few days later, the FBI interviewed Petraeus for the first time and Broadwell for a second time.
This is obviously the reckless arrogance that often overwhelms those in positions of high power. Again, I am not outraged by the fact that a national leader had a woman on the side. What concerns me is Petraeus making himself vulnerable for blackmail, at the very least. For the Director of the CIA to flaunt his extra-marital affair with another man's wife beyond sheer boldness, it is downright incredibly stupid.
What outrages me is the fact that after the Benghazi incident, General Petraeus repeated the Obama Administration party line about it being a mob enraged about the weird movie that led to the sacking of the United States Consulate. In other words, the Director of the CIA lied to Congress. We know he lied because yesterday, before Congress, Petraeus admitted that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist hit and that the CIA was immediately aware of the fact.
This begs the question: Why? Why would a highly decorated general officer, a national hero and Director of Central Intelligence, lie to Congress and the American people?
Two reasons:
A) He wanted to keep his job as head of the CIA, and avoid the shame and disgrace that he and his family are now experiencing. In repeating the Obama lie about Benghazi, Petraeus was like a drowning man grasping at straws to keep from going down.
B) There is something bigger to hide; this involves the relief of General Ham, AFRICOM commander, for his actions the night of September 11th. The analysis of these events is HERE
In other words, an American overseas missions was under direct attack by elements of al Qaeda; we knew about it and the order was given to stand down relief forces. This order could only have come from the National Command Authority – i.e. the Secretary of Defense, and/or President of the United States.
Americans were hung out to dry. There were any number of alternatives available to be employed against the threat; everything from flying a couple of fastmovers overhead at rooftop level and scaring the bejesus out of the attackers, to launching the theater commander's in extremis force - the CIF - which was apparently on standby an hour away in Sigonella, Sicily. Instead, the National Command Authority balked, and the Americans on the ground in Benghazi paid for this lack of leadership with their lives.
It served Obama to continue the video myth aspect of Benghazi; this was the height of the election. We are told that Obama was not aware of Petraeus' extramarital affair until a day or two before the election, or perhaps immediately afterwards. This is simply not possible.
Consider: the Director of Central Intelligence is being investigated by the FBI for an affair that involves a possible breach of national security - and we are to believe that the President was not informed? This is not possible and simply unbelievable. He would have been informed immediately. We're talking national security here, people - this is right up there with the Launch Codes.
Now we see that a cover story was perpetrated - to the benefit of our hated enemy, al Qaeda, incredibly enough. I'm still waiting for Barack Obama to come clean, and I'm quite sure he's concerned; in the 1970s a smaller event took down a President.
The situation is beyond disgraceful. Petraeus betrayed his own Code of Honor, he betrayed his wife, family and friends, he betrayed the office he served, he betrayed the four dead Americans in Benghazi, and he betrayed the American people.

This woman reportedly advises the President on everything.
"After we win this election, it's our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don't forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve.
There is going to be Hell to pay. Congress won't be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go."

HONOR - The Story Left Untold
Veterans Day 2012
Dakota Meyer was a 21-year-old Marine corporal at the time of the 2009 ambush in which five American and nine Afghan National Army troops were killed. (Defense Department via Associated Press)
On Sept. 8, 2009, in a remote eastern Afghanistan province, Afghan soldiers, with their American trainers, were ambushed by 50 insurgents, Obama said. Meyer, then a corporal, and Staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, were listening to the attack on the radio in a support position.
Meyer disregarded orders from superiors not to enter the killing zone to aid his ambushed colleagues. Instead Dakota told Staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez they were going in. Juan jumped into a Humvee and took the wheel; Dakota climbed into the turret and manned the gun and they drove straight into the kill zone.
Meyer led five successive missions that night to save the lives of 13 Americans and 23 Afghan troops. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that night.

WELCOME TO MORONVILLE
It is what It is . . . our worst fears are realized; the Kenyan won and now we're stuck with him.
I picked up this bottle of Dewars 12 on Tuesday to drink to Romney's victory. It will remain within my gun safe until 2016, when we will unseal it and drink to the liberation of our Republic. At that time it will be Dewars 16.
. . . AND SO
. . . WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ? ? ?
A good Hard Work Ethic, Patriotism and Honor will be trumped by Magic Ponies, Pixie Dust and Rainbows - everytime.
A valid photo ID is required to adopt a pet, buy a gun, create a bank account, get a credit card, write a check, obtain a passport, apply for a loan, build, buy, and close on a house, get married, buy beer or cigarettes, drive, get on a plane, get insurance, get a job, legally hunt or fish, rent a car, rent an apartment, rent a hotel room, get welfare, get Medicaid or Medicare, receive Social Security, buy a bus ticket, buy antihistamines at a drug store, walk into a bar, go to college, have your utilities turned on, get cable, pick up a package at the post office or from UPS and Federal Express, and have a prescription filled . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. . . AND YET . . .
. . . to require this simple requirement of modern life - as accepted in the electoral process of all Western nations AND the emerging nations of the traditional world - to vote in the United States of America in the 21st Century is somehow percieved as R-A-C-I-C-I-S-T-!-!-!
More people watch Fox and listen to Rush Limbaugh than watch ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and read the New York Time and the Washington Post combined.
But this all does not matter; more people watch American Idol and Dancing With The Stars that pay attention to any and all of that boring talking heads political shit.
In a tag-team cage match, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Big Bird will kick ass on Captain America, Superman and all the Heroes of Marveldom, every time all the time.
The best and brightest of combined alumni of Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, U Penn and Yale have less a grasp on the fundamentals of Econ 101 that a high school grad small business owner in Anywhereville, USA.
An Ambassador, a foreign service officer, and two ex-Navy SEAL CIA contractors die in a pre-planned coordinated military-style terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi and the President of the United States lies to the American people about it for ten days straight and it's OK . . .
. . . as long as you & I provide $3000 worth of birth control required by a thirty-year-old woman who's smart enough to be a grad student at Georgetown but somehow can't find her way to the free clinic just down the street.
At least two American Federal law enforcement officers are dead and hundreds of Mexicans by rifles distributed to Mexican drug cartels by the United States government and the Attorney General of the United States stonewalls Congress over the facts is not a scandal BUT . . .
. . . a percieved threat to pull taxpayer funding from a puppet show that generates millions in marketing is a front-page issue.
The only difference between parasites and Liberals is that parasites understand that killing their host wouldn't be good for them.
America is divided into the Educated / Informed / Hard-Working / Productive Class and the Moron Class. Guess who won the election?
Yes I am a Bitter Clinger . . . the Bible and the gun everybody understands . . .
. . . anybody who's spent more than a day in Special Forces understands what the Pine Cone represents . . .

DON't LOSE HEART
Incredibly busy with the tasks of the very real world of corporate security today - that is why I have not followed through on yesterday's terribly flawed prediction - in the meantime let us take solace in these wise words and use them to inspire ourselves for the hard work to be done in the difficult times that lay ahead - S.L.
America, don’t lose heart. This election is not an “Obama mandate,” nor is it a rejection of conservatism. Unanswered ads like this one running in blue collar swing states defined Romney early on, and the Obama media also piled on with the narrative that Romney would harm the middle class. (As I personally have witnessed, once a bell is rung by a biased media, it’s impossible to un-ring it.) Ironically, it’s Obama’s socialist policies that will destroy America’s working class as he outsources opportunities.
Hang in there, America. Fight for what is right. Don’t look to government or any politician to solve your problems. Government can’t make you happy, healthy, wealthy or wise. Obama is a master at reading the right “soaring” words fed into his teleprompter, but actions speak louder than words. So, hold tight to 2 Corinthians 4:8 because we’re in for a wild ride.
We must survive. United. One nation under God.
"We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed." – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9.

New Black Panther Party at Philly Polls

Today in Philadelphia: Obama's Army
OK let's check these dirtbags out by the numbers . . .
Somebody explain to me what civilized country in the entire world gets away with this kind of nonsense at their polling places on election day? What would the reaction from the Left be if these were white supremacists or neo-Nazi's? For that matter, what is the difference between the New Black Panther Party and white supremacists or neo-Nazi's?
Everybody please take note of which political party these scumbags support:
D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T
Liberals have to lie, cheat and steal to win elections. They lie about their position on the issues and lie about who they are. They are dead set against voter ID laws because it limits their ability to commit voter fraud. And when the count comes down against them, they bring in their army of lawyers and activists to challenge the results and do recounts until they can steal the election.
That's how we got ass-clown Al Franken in the Senate, from Minnesota, and before that they tried it with Al Gore vs. George Bush in the '00 election.

HEREs HOW I CALL IT . . .
This is not a political blog it is a security blog dedicated to honor heroism.
But this election is beyond politics - the outcome of this election will affect the global security situation, has already brought to the nation's center stage the heroism of our men in Libya.
In my world we have a saying, "It ain't never over." In sports and in politics they say "It ain't over until the fat lady sings." What people don't realize is that politics is a blood sport. Well this is what I have to say about it . . . S.L.
The press and the pundits are calling it for the Kenyan. No surprise there - they've been his propaganda machine for four years - they have a vested interest. I've been following the US political scene since Nixon beat Humphrey in '68 and the press has always been against the Republicans, but I have never seen it so blatant, so obvious, so in the tank - they don't even make an attempt at objectivity.
The polls are split even between Mitt and the Bamster, across the board. But the real story nobody's reporting are the internals. The polls are flawed - not in their scientific method - in the way they are being reported.
Every poll I have looked at is weighting the sampling of Democrats by five, ten or even twenty percent. That makes a 50-50 poll an actual advantage to the Republicans. They are doing this because they are basing their sampling on the turnout of the last US Presidential election in 2008.
But this is not 2008; this is a completely different scene. In '08 we had several factors working against the Republicans that simply don't exist today. In '08 Barack Obama ran a campaign as a complete unknown; in fact it is a national scandal how the press failed to vet him as a candidate. America knows him this time around. We've seen the World Apology Tour, the strange kowtowing to Oriental staraps and potentates. We've seen him play basketball and golf, appear on Letterman and The View while good men were hung out to dry in Benghazi. We've seen the effects of his policies in Solyndra and Fast & Furious.
In '08 Obama was Elvis; but even Elvis ended up a lounge act in Vegas. The young, clean Obama with no Negro overtones - as Harry Reid (D-Nevada) described him - is no longer. Now we have the older Obama; jaded, bitter.
In '08 there was no incumbant and there was no Conservative in the race, and even still Obama did not win by a landslide; 53-47 is not a mandate.
McCain represents the best traditions of Navy aristocracy - the strong Liberal sentiments that pervade the branch of service that tolerates the most extreme social situations; because everybody knows that if they didn't there wouldn't be a Navy. McCain chose Palin as a running mate not for her conservatism - which is beyond question - but because she could deliver the Evangelical Christian vote; a block which represents 35 million. Lets see here - Romney / Ryan versus Obama / Biden - any question which way the Evangelicals will cast their powerful votes this time?
There are a lot of women who don't buy the over-the-top b*llshit Obama and crew have been dishing out about abortion and birth control. Women don't vote over that; they vote over two things: the pocketbook, and the security of the nation. Food and fuel prices have skyrocketed under Obama, and national security is in the toilet. Think Afghanistan. Think Iran. Think Benghazi. The only women who think the Republicans give a rats ass about birth control or abortion are already Obamatron Liberals - the Democrat War on Women was just that, and it backfired on them.
There are a lot of blue collar workers who will not vote for Obama. They are not stupid and they never vote as a block. In a previous era they were known as Reagan Democrats, and a lot of them are union workers - especially the coal miners. A lot of those types in Ohio and Pennsylvania, by the way.
Back in '08 Obama had something else going for him; the historic factor. A lot of independants and the people who call themselves progressives voted for the First Black President. Well that high water mark's been met, and a LOT of those people have buyers remorse. A lot of people who voted for Barack Obama in 2008 will not vote for him in 2012. But I guarantee you that NOBODY who voted for McCain in '08 will turn around and vote for the Bamster. Isn't going to happen.
Something else happened since 2008 - the mid-terms, the emergence of the Tea Party, and the 2012 recall election of Scott Walker in Wisconsin. Do the pundits really think all this went away? The 2010 mid-terms were the greatest overturn of political power in this country since the Civil War; over 700 seats went to Republicans all the way down to dog catcher. The Scott Walker thing in Wisconsin was a national level effort - the Democrats and the unions poured MILLIONS into that thing and all they got was egg on their face as they trashed the State House. It is remarkable how the professional tea-leaf readers are ignoring these indicators.
Pundits talk a lot about the independants - if this race is tied 50-50 (and I don't believe it is, not by a long shot) - the independants will break against the incumbant; every time.
Last but not least there's the Redskins Rule. The Washington Redskins - 18 of the last 19 elections they've blown it on a home game before the election; the out-of-power party wins.
That distant thunder you hear is a thundering herd of Republican elephants - I'm calling it a landslide for Romney.

Many neighborhoods are still without power nearly a week after Hurricane Sandy struck. While parts of the greater New York megalopolis are slowly coming back to life, many say their situation is virtually unchanged.
While the waters have receded, people say they fear for their safety in dark buildings and are in desperate need of heat as the temperatures begin to drop.
Looters roam the area, emboldened by the breakdown of law and order, and the inability of people to defend themselves, thanks to draconian anti-gun laws.
"Anybody who expects the Government will take care of them needs to look at the plight of the American Indian."
The above is a quote from an old Sergeant Major of mine in Special Forces - he was a full-blooded Payute.

SURVEILLANCE: THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
I am a security consultant and one of the most important aspects of a client's security program I stress is counter-surveillance. It is very difficult to pull off a professional surveillance operation and not very difficult to detect such an operation against you. I advise that if you become aware that you are being watched - GO TO A SAFE HAVEN IMMEDIATELY - not necessarily your lodging - and then contact your security people.
The following article is disturbing on so many levels. The crew in Benghazi knew they were being watched - the threat didn't even attempt to remain surreptitious - they knew the significance of the date September 11th, and intuitively they knew they were going to get hit.
Our so-called leadership did nothing for them; hung them out to dry, denied rescue forces and then lied about it for ten days.
And now the victims of Benghazi speak to us from beyond the grave. . .

'TROUBLING' SURVEILLANCE BEFORE BENGHAZI ATTACK
Sensitive documents found amid the wreckage of the U.S. consulate shine new light on the Sept. 11 assault that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
By Harald Doornbos, Jenan Moussa | Nov 1, 2012
BENGHAZI, Libya — More than six weeks after the shocking assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi -- and nearly a month after an FBI team arrived to collect evidence about the attack - the battle-scarred, fire-damaged compound where Ambassador Chris Stevens and another Foreign Service officer lost their lives on Sept. 11 still holds sensitive documents and other relics of that traumatic final day, including drafts of two letters worrying that the compound was under "troubling" surveillance and complaining that the Libyan government failed to fulfill requests for additional security.
When we visited on Oct. 26 to prepare a story for Dubai based Al Aan TV, we found not only Stevens's personal copy of the Aug. 6 New Yorker, lying on remnants of the bed in the safe room where Stevens spent his final hours, but several ash-strewn documents beneath rubble in the looted Tactical Operations Center, one of the four main buildings of the partially destroyed compound. Some of the documents -- such as an email from Stevens to his political officer in Benghazi and a flight itinerary sent to Sean Smith, a U.S. diplomat slain in the attack -- are clearly marked as State Department correspondence. Others are unsigned printouts of messages to local and national Libyan authorities. The two unsigned draft letters are both dated Sept. 11 and express strong fears about the security situation at the compound on what would turn out to be a tragic day. They also indicate that Stevens and his team had officially requested additional security at the Benghazi compound for his visit - and that they apparently did not feel it was being provided.
One letter, written on Sept. 11 and addressed to Mohamed Obeidi, the head of the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs' office in Benghazi, reads:
"Finally, early this morning at 0643, September 11, 2012, one of our diligent guards made a troubling report. Near our main gate, a member of the police force was seen in the upper level of a building across from our compound. It is reported that this person was photographing the inside of the U.S. special mission and furthermore that this person was part of the police unit sent to protect the mission. The police car stationed where this event occurred was number 322."
The account accords with a message written by Smith, the IT officer who was killed in the assault, on a gaming forum on Sept. 11. "Assuming we don't die tonight. We saw one of our ‘police' that guard the compound taking pictures," he wrote hours before the assault.
