NOT JUST THE SEALs

I LOVE this headline - S.L.



Let's be perfectly clear it isn't just the SEALs who are pissed off & disgusted with the Current Occupier of the Whitehouse - Green Beanies, Deltoids, Air Force Jet Butts and Gyrene SpecOps types also think he's an oxygen thief.

For Barack Hussein Obama to even try to claim some kind of moral high ground in the Global War on Terror . . . uh, excuse me . . . the Overseas Contingency Operation . . . is laughable. This is the same guy who claimed we were losing in Iraq, and has bent over backwards to advertise our no-later-than dates for withdrawal from the 'Stan, has been dead-set against this entire noble cause from the git-go . . . now he wants to claim he's a war hero? Puh-leez . . .


Check out Barry Soetero in this photo - he's wearing a GOLF SHIRT under that sports coat. They had to drag the big, bad war hero off the links to get the photo op. For him to suggest that he pulled the trigger on Osama is laughable - the guy wouldn't even know which end of a rifle the bullets come out of. Bear in mind: this is the same Barack Hussein Obama who signed Executive Order 13491 - forbidding the very interrogation methods that took place at Guantanamo Bay, at CIA black sites, that gave us the intelligence that led directly to the capture of Osama Bin Laden. Had Obama's policies been in force, we may not have ever gotten Bin Laden.

Mr. President, for you to drag Osama Bin Laden's dead body out around the forum is a thinly disguised effort to politicize a historic military operation. To insuate you had some kind of decisive role in it is laughable - you're not even qualified to clean the weapons of the men who killed Osama Bin Laden.

Disgraceful.

UNCONVENTIONAL WARFARE IN AMAERICA

I found this gem on the worthy site SOFREP - I don't know if the guy who posted it, or the folk who commented, are aware that this is basically the Robin Sage scenario; the monumental Special Forces unconventional warfare training event which continues to this day - and the fact they're wearing their berets with flash & crest means this is the sixties not the fiftes.





FYI "unconventional warfare" is the doctrinal name for what is loosely described as guerrilla warfare. This purpose of this training is not to prepare America for a Red Dawn scenario; rather it is to address the kind of political background of these kind of struggles, and to train Special Forces for irregular tactics. The model is occupied France in World War II.

THE POLITICAL SEASON

Normally I avoid mentioning politics here on StormBringer as it generates Dark Energy within me. However, we are entering into a political season the likes of which we may not have seen since the insanity of the 1968 Presidential elections, and so I address it from a security point of view. Strange players are marshalling their forces, maneuvering into position for what could become a perfect storm of chaos, confusion and extreme political violence.


The President of the United States is a Weirdo


Barack Hussein Obama: cold, distant, aloof.


Never mind whether he was born in Hawaii, born in Kenya or born on Mars – that doesn’t matter. What matters is that his father was an African nationalist revolutionary, both his father and his step-father were Muslims, his mother was an atheist and an admitted Marxist, the mentor of his teenage years Frank Marshall Davis was a known Communist Party of the USA member, his political mentor into the Chicago political scene was the unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers, his religious pastor the America-hating Reverend Wright. The apologists of Barack Hussein Obama may claim that he is not a Muslim nor a Marxist – I say if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck and is surrounded by ducks . . .

Speaking of which, the people surrounding BHO are a gaggle of apparatchiks such as the useless functionary Timothy Geigner – Treasurer of the United States who in the midst of the worst economy since the Great Depression admits that he doesn’t have a plan - and the useful tool Eric Holder who as Attorney General refuses to enforce the law against militant Black Panthers, and impedes justice in the Fast and Furious investigation.

But wait it gets better; we’ve got a sitting President of the United States behaving in a manner not seen since the paranoia of Richard Nixon and his infamous enemies list - Wall Street Journal: The President Has a List

Unable to campaign on a record of success, this Administration’s political tactics follow a pattern of throwing red herrings - such as whore/slut Sandra Fluke’s incredible $3000 annual birth control requirement - this antic captured the political center stage over an issue that was never an issue. Expect to see similar episodes as the season unfolds.


The Occupy Phenomenon




Do not dismiss this movement as a harmless element of the lunatic fringe; their rank and file are useful idiots for a cadre with a sinister agenda. Whoever is pulling the strings for Occupy has demonstrated an ability to harness the energy of the movement and direct it; witness the violence directed against the police in Oakland, California on 29 January of this year:


The Oakland Police Department said in a statement that the crowd was ordered to disperse after protesters “began destroying construction equipment and fencing . . . Officers were pelted with bottles, metal pipe, rocks, spray cans, improvised explosive devices and burning flares,” the police statement said. Officers responded by firing smoke and tear gas canisters and beanbags . . .”


Occupy Street Tactics

Throughout the march some demonstrators yelled, “Shields line up!” or “Shields to the front,” and the shield-bearers would line up in front of the crowd.

A disturbing development, these kind of tactics are significant in that they require prior training, and indicate a degree of organization beyond that of a simple grassroots movement.

Also present amongst the Occupy formations are the infamous Black Bloc; organized activists who conceal their identities with all-black garments to include hoods, ski masks and balaclavas, initiate violence and direct the flow of the crowd against security forces, then doff their outer garments and evade away from the scene of the crime.

It is telling that in the UK, MI-5 considers Occupy to be a threat to national security, second only to al Qaeda.


The Exploitation of Trayvon Martin



It is strange that a month passed from when the incident occurred to when it emerged onto the media’s radar screen. In a modern Information Era electronic lynching, the left-leaning mainstream media passed judgment before the facts of the case were fully known. Things unfolded quickly after that; professional political agitator Al Sharpton jumped on the bandwagon . . .


.


. . .the Black Panthers issued a bounty on the head of George Zimmerman, and the President of the United States included himself into the equation with a bizarre declaration, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin.”

The same incompetant Attorney General who refuses to prosecute the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation in 2008 in Philadelphia, refuses to prosecute the same for what is essentially solicitation to kidnap.

On the other side of the puddle the capacity for a long, hot violent summer is unfolding; Occupy is present in London, of course, warming up for the London Olympics. This time last year, demonstrators were burning down houses in scenes reminiscent of the Blitz. The financial crisis on the continent has manifested street violence to the point where politics-as-usual in Italy and Greece has simply ceased to exist.

All of the aforementioned madness, coupled with modern cellphone tecnology capability to summon flashmobs via mass instant messaging . . . yub, gonna be a long, hot political summer coming up . . .

Veteran Plea for Help: Bob Strait and Family

This is the story of a D-Day veteran - 90 years old - who was burglarized and beaten into a coma and who lost his 85-year-old wife after she was beaten and raped. There are no words to describe my reaction to this outrage. Please help spread the word around of this veteran's horrific suffering - S.L.

HORSE SOLDIERS OF 9/11 - THE MOVIE



War correspondant Alex Quade is highly respected by the Special Operations community:


Alex is an incredibly courageous woman. She gets out there in the thick of it. I remember her during Operation Arrowhead Ripper in Iraq in 2007. She earned respect from the troops and journalists for her willingness to go where and do what few will do. And she did it well. - Michael Yon



Alex Quade just received American Legion's 4th Estate for her original reporting on the Horse Soldiers/Statue etc from last fall. Alex has now expanded their story into a documentary that she herself directed & produced (impressive) - Gary Sinise narrates.

Alex is definitely one of us.





The world premier of Horse Soldiers of 9/11 is at the GI Film Festival in Washington DC over Armed Forces Day Weekend - 20 May 2012 at 6:30 pm - here's the link - everyone's invited (and YES I will be there) -S.L.
