IF BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS IRISH . . .
. . . . then I'm WILSON PICKETT:
. . . my mother used to tell me that our family are of the Black Irish . . . I had no idea until just now the full meaning of this ancient wisdom . . . S.L.

WHO IS THIS MAN?
Isn't it peculiar that this man - our President - who came to us a relative unknown three years ago; and now it seems we know even less about him than ever before?
Those of you who follow this web log and have gotten to know a bit about me & my style, know that I rarely if ever post political stuff - the 'net is full of politics; it's done to death elsewhere and besides, it generates Dark Energy within me . . .
Dark Energy
Having said that . . . readers send in all kinds of stuff and every now and then something catches my attention . . . the following two links are remarkable in that they query the true identity and origins of our most mysterious President Barack Hussein Obama:
Who is Barack Obama? – A Terrifying Analysis
On March 15, 2011, the Heritage Foundation sponsored a telecast featuring Dinesh D’Souza, President of King’s College New York and author of the best selling book, Roots of Obama’s Rage. After introducing himself, D’Souza got right into an in-depth analysis of current US President Barack Obama. Obama is the product of an unusual family history, far different from most Americans or people anywhere, for that matter. To say Obama is the product of his parentage and previous environment is a gross understatement.

Now, I'm not a conspiracy nut - conspiracy theories are too easily debunked by the logical thought process; they usually don't stand up to the question path: A) How many people have to be in the know? and B) How do you keep all those people quiet?
. . . but recent comments by Donald Trump have me scratching my head; in an attempt to get to the bottom of the whole birth certificate mess - stay with me here I'm not a birther - The Donald sent a posse of investigators to Hawaii, and he has stated that what they are coming up with is amazing.
Personally, I'm of two minds:
First of all, it doesn't matter if BHO was born in Hawaii, Kenya, or on the Moon; the man was sworn in President of the United States by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - that makes him President in my book. Following that ceremony, whether or not anyone thinks he's qualified is opinion, nothing more.
And second, if there WAS anything to the rumors floating around out there, the Clinton Attack Machine would have uncovered it during the election.
For what it's worth, Donald Trump seems to echo these themes; what he asks, however, is compelling: "WHAT IS THIS MAN HIDING?"
We'll have to wait for word of Trump's sleuth team's report-out of Hawaii - in the meantime here's another fascinating angle on the origins of Obama:
Another Look at Obama’s Social Security Number
After several years working for others, Daniels got her own license as an investigator in 1995. Since then, she has specialized in litigation support for law firms. Her particular strength has been in researching assets.
By her own admission, Daniels is “good with public records.” She knows her way around databases and has access to many that the public does not.
“I did not like the way things were going,” Daniels says of the country’s drift circa 2009. And so in the best spirit of citizen journalism, she began to investigate Obama on her own.
What she and fellow investigator Neil Sankey unearthed was a nugget that could have ended the career of a George Bush or a Sarah Plain: Barack Obama had been using a social security number issued in Connecticut between 1977 and 1979, a state in which he never lived or even visited at that time in his life.

THE BIRDS
People send me all kinds of stuff to post in STORMBRINGER and I appreciate all the support I get. Most of the material sent is political, Tea Party-themed - which is great, although I usually tend to wave off politics because it's done elsewhere, and I don't have time enough to dedicate the energy & creative juices to do it right.
STORMBRINGER is a military blog, primarily dedicated to honoring heroes of the great US / UK / ANZAC / CANADA / ISRAEL Alliance in this conflict forced upon us by the Evildoers of Islamic Fundamentalism. Themes include reports on international security, great battles and notable events of military history, the greatness of Ancient Greece and Rome (and how the civilization of Ancient Rome still exists and prevails), the story of United States Army Special Forces (the Green Berets) and of course from time to time bits of my personal philosophy; inspired by Aristotle, Cicero, Atilla the Hun, John Locke, Benjamin Franklin, the Duke of Wellington, Winston Churchill, Ayn Rand and Rush Limbaugh, to name a few.
An essential ingredient of my personal philosophy - a.k.a. The Philosophy of STORMBRINGERISM - is what Ayn Rand refers to as laizee-faire capitalism. The phrase laissez-faire (pronounced: lah-zay-fair) is French and literally means "let do", but it broadly implies "let it be", or "leave it alone." In economics, laissez-faire describes an environment in which transactions between private parties are free from state intervention, including restrictive regulations, taxes, tariffs and enforced monopolies.
Also from Ayn Rand, I embrace the concept of Human Exceptionalism; the belief that human beings have special status in nature based on their unique capacities. This belief is the grounding for some naturalistic concepts of human rights. Taking it a step further, Rush Limbaugh describes the philosophy of American Exceptionalism: the theory that the United States is qualitatively different from other nations. This stems from our emergence from a revolution, and the uniquely American ideology, based on liberty, egalitarianism, individualism, populism and laissez-faire. This observation is traced to Alexis de Tocqueville, the first writer to describe the United States as "exceptional."
STORMBRINGERISM is also about the Cult of the 1911 and the individuals right to self-defense - up to and including lethal force - is a justifiable defense in a court of law:
But, you say, how does this include the Great Alliance; our worthy allies the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel?
Simple: the American experience would not have been if the foundations of Democracy had not been laid in Britain, and before that in Ancient Rome, and before that Ancient Greece. In that, the UK is the Mother Country - has been and always will be - and by default this makes Canada, Australia and New Zealand our brothers and sisters.
But . . . but . . . what about tiny (yet MIGHTY) Israel?
Israel is the oldest country, and at the same time the youngest. The ancient Egyptian Empire and civilization has come and gone . . .
. . . and the people who built the pyramids are not the same folks who live in Egypt today. Likewise Babylon . . .
. . . it is gone, ground into the dust, even less of it left than in Egypt. There is still a Syria, but the ancient Assyrian Empire is dead and gone and it's people flung far and wide across the globe in diaspora.
Of these ancient kingdoms and empires of the Old Testament, only Israel remains, the smallest - yet most powerful - of all the countries of the Middle East.
Modern Israel exists because of Britain and the United States - if it was up to the rest of Europe and the Middle East there wouldn't even be anybody left to occupy a State of Israel. The Islamists - al Qaeda, the Muslim Brotherhood, the Mullah-led theocracy of Iran - view Israel as a Western foothold in their territory, much like the Crusader Kingdoms a thousand years ago. They - the radicals who have hijacked Islam - consider it only a question of time until they drive the Israelis into the sea and get that land back.
As such, Israel is with us, or like the Israeli girls say:
While we're on the subject of girls, women, chicks, sheilas, females, and members of the opposite sex - Israeli or otherwise - there was a bit of resistance when I first introduced the BIRDS OF STORMBRINGER; on the grounds that this would affect the way people view STORMBRINGER as a serious literary outlet - to which I replied "When did anybody take STORMBRINGER seriously in the first place?"
Here's the deal with The Birds: my brother is a journalist for an afternoon paper in a large American city in the Northeast. It's a tabloid format; he takes himself seriously so of course I always tease him; "If your paper was on the other side of the Atlantic, there'd be a Page 3 Girl." Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson: NSFW
When I first signed up, SOLDIER Magazine always had a bikini babe featured on the back cover. Sometime toward the end of my first tour I picked up a copy of SOLDIER and flipped to the back page. Staring back at me was a sergeant; all cami'd up and in full battle rattle - talk about taking a hard dose of reality. The Birds of STORMBRINGER are a throwback to an earlier, simpler time when it was okay for a warrior to tape a pinup girl in his wall locker, or depict one on the nose of his mighty war machine:
OK now we've covered THAT subject to death, let's get on with the weekly BLOG ROLL:
CHRIS ROCK DISSES THE TEA PARTY: "Tea Party is full of racists . . ."
What exactly are you basing that on, Chris?
Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price (Democrat) Tells Citizens, 'All Of You Are White! Go To Hell!'
These are the same folk who say the Tea Party full of racists.
TSA agents busted at JFK Airport for stealing $160,000 from checked bags.
I remember the Democrats insisting that airport security had to be a part of the Government because "Government equals professional" . . . I say: "This is your Government taking care of you."
CARTER: "Muslim Brotherhood nothing to be afraid of . . ."
Jimmy Carter should know; he never met a dictator or a terrorist he didn't like.
News networks may yank female reporters out of Egypt after rape of Lara Logan by Muslim mob.
Lara Logan was brutally raped by an Egyptian mob chanting "Jew! Jew!" in a crowded public square while covering the chaos in Cairo - tell me about that Muslim Brotherhood again, Mistuh Jimmuh?.
Egypt's Health Ministry says 365 killed in unrest . . . Labor unrest hits Egypt's strategic Suez Canal
ABCNEWS Correspondent Beaten in Bahrain Protests: At Least 2 Dead in Crackdown; ABC's Miguel Marquez Roughed Up.
The Fat Lady hasn't even BEGUN to sing on this Arab unrest thing yet . . .

Israel is the oldest country, and at the same time the youngest. The ancient Egyptian Empire and civilization has come and gone . . .
Nobody speaks in hieroglyphics anymore.
. . . and the people who built the pyramids are not the same folks who live in Egypt today. Likewise Babylon . . .
Nobody speaks in cuneiform anymore.
. . . it is gone, ground into the dust, even less of it left than in Egypt. There is still a Syria, but the ancient Assyrian Empire is dead and gone and it's people flung far and wide across the globe in diaspora.

"Don't worry America - ISRAEL IS BEHIND YOU ! ! !"
"VISIT ISRAEL BEFORE ISRAEL VISITS YOU."

Bar Refaeli from Israel was the first Bird featured in STORMBRINGER.
