OBAMA AND KERRY’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
OBAMA AND KERRY’S MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
The only purpose the United Nations serves is to give
meaningless rhetoric an outlet for second and third tier international want-to-
be dreamers of power a forum to stroke their alter egos, and Obama is no
exception, and without a doubt, the cream of the crop! The United Nations had
its place in time, but that time has come to an end, and so should the $8+
Billion dollars it cost the American taxpayer every year!
Obama has had nothing to say to members of the Congress, but
choses instead to hide behind those closed doors spinning his web of deception
and divisiveness to change the face of America! I have to believe that his
constituents, except for the ones closest to him, had no clue that his
definition of change had nothing to do with what they and the American people
perceived it to be, but after winning a second term victory got a real sobering
shot of the clandestine Socialist agenda's truth!
Obama didn’t take the time to sit down with the opposition on
Capitol Hill for meaningful collaboration and bipartisan resolution to the
problems facing America, but chose to lead by ‘Pen and Phone,’ interpretation
and intent, and undermining the ‘Will’ of the American people! Obama orchestrated
the unrest in the Middle East, help launch ISIS through the help of Hillary and
her
gun running failures that armed the eventually created the biggest threat
to any chance of peace in that region , and scripted the plot to give Congress
that ‘Do nothing Congress’ makeover that was initiated by Harry Reid and his
optional decision to table, and not present some 360+ passed house bills to the
Senate to be passed and given to President Obama to sign and make law.
Obama’s battle cry from the beginning has been ‘My way, or
the High way,’ and he’s proved that by quickly establishing in his first term, through Executive Order,
‘Peace Time’ Martial law, firing
or forcing into retirement close to 300
military personnel with 187 being high
ranking officers and generals because they couldn’t be trusted to carry out
Obama’s unconstitutional and anti-American agenda and policies around the world,
and then opening our borders so that 13+ million unvetted illegal immigrants
and refugees could be supported by the taxpayer to the tune of $1 Trillion
Dollars a year, and then encouraged to vote with no criminal consequences for
their illegal actions!
Cry baby Obama can’t understand why his dream won’t be
realized and because of that doing everything he can to disrupt the path that
the ‘Will’ of the American people have decided to take.
Just in the last week
or so Obama has destroyed the list of possible terrorists and their connections
in America, and coincidentally just before terrorists published an America’s
church hit list! Obama banned off shore drilling, then betrayed our number one
ally in the Middle East, and now discussing the unproven allegations that
Russia hacked the election that gave Trump the victory, and possibly, because
of those unsubstantiated accusations, considering sanctions!
Obama, from the beginning, has become a psychopathic recluse
who sits in the dark conspiring against our founding father’s success here at home and around the world, and has only one place to go to release those inner anti-American daemons, and that’s to the one place where they all have one thing in common, acceptance and inclusion, just like AA, and that’s the world famous United Nations!

THE UNITED NATIONS: OBAMA’S BULLY PULPIT!
With just over 3 weeks to go Obama has his anti-American
revenge pedal to the metal to finish what a Hillary loss in the election
couldn’t finish, and that’s destroy America from within through his and hers
mentor Saul Alinsky, and then his underling professors at Columbia University
Cloward and Piven, who filled in the missing blanks that Obama needed to know
to complete his mission of the ideological transformation of America.
John Kerry's final Middle East policy speech
"pathetic", further heightening tensions between the two allies as
President Barack Obama prepares to leave office.
Kerry tried to legitimize America’s United Nations
abstention vote through doubling down and hiding again, like Obama has done
many time before, behind ‘Who’ and ‘What’ America’s principles and policies are
and always have been…WHAT??
WHAT PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES IS KERRY TRYING TO HIDE BEHIND?
AND WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THEY’RE THE SAME PRINCIPLES, VALUES, AND POLICIES THAT HE
BELIEVES ARE IN
LINE WITH THE PRE-OBAMA ‘WILL’ OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE??
LINE WITH THE PRE-OBAMA ‘WILL’ OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE??
Where do I begin, and how much time do I have?
America opens its borders to unvetted illegal immigrants and
refugees who won’t assimilate or follow our laws and looking to eliminate the
religious beliefs that 77% of American believe in, but don’t worry, because
that’s who we are!
America wants to give Iran a path to nuclear weapons because
we would rather give than take, because that's who we are!
America wants Hillary to lose $6 Billion dollars while
secretary of State, and then accidently hand over $400 million in advanced
weaponry to ISIS because we’re just that f*cking generous.
America wants all Americans who are on welfare and
federally funded entitlements to get a little taste of what free stuff tastes
like, and what Socialist values of spending other people’s money while pulling
the rug out from under America’s economy and sneaking illegal cheaper labor
under the radar while dangling a $15 minimum wage carrot in front of their
noses, feels like!
America wants to tax America’s home grown ingenuity, industrial
inventiveness, and our technical prowess, by charging our businesses and
companies the highest corporate tax rate in the world! I don’t know about you,
but I think I would be wondering why, and what does this achieve, right? Well
it’s basically out sourcing and redistributing America’s exceptionalism and
wealth around the
world, and at a huge cost to America’s future generations to come! Obama’s plan was to regulate and tax the shit out of our industrial superiority, and then due to his globalist agenda and policies, redistribute America’s wealth and America’s exceptionalism around the world, while at the same time sneaking third world cheaper labor in the back door to dilute and infiltrate our workforce to make the American workforce succumb to the pressures of working for less, and lowering the American standard bar far enough to meet the not so fortunate standards around the world, who are now, because of American’s sacrifice, on the way up to meet on an equal playing field!.......GLOBALISM!!!....tah dah!! Drum roll please!

America wants to undermine our men in blue and allow outside
agitators, like George Soros, to come in and disrupt our election process!
Americans want our President to bypass our constitution, our
congress, and play the race card every chance he gets to undermine our men in
blue, Martin Luther king’s Memory and accomplishments, and shrink our military
down to the size of WWI's status and strength.
Americans want every symbol for our Christian beliefs to be
torn down and trashed while defending and protecting other nations laws and
anti-rights for women!
You can fill in the many blanks I left for you, but what we
need to take away from all of this is that Obama, Hillary, and all of the
chump change that takes their 'lead,' have no clue what America stands for!
chump change that takes their 'lead,' have no clue what America stands for!
America is a nation of laws, and if you don’t like the laws,
then change them through the process that our founding fathers set up through
our constitution and Constitutional Republic’s guidelines, or leave!
Americans believe live and let live, but within the parameters
of our ‘Bill of Rights,’ our religious background and base, and the same
individual rights that are granted to every citizen of the United States of
America!
Obama’s political correctness and newly discovered implicit
bias are just tools used by these two Alinskyites to separate and divide all
Americans individual rights through the guise personal choice, but then using those personal
choices against one another to instill animosity and disdain for one's private guidelines when fulfilling one’s personal perception of
reality and goals! ~~
U.N. has "such great potential," but it has become
"just a club for people to get together, talk and have a good time. So
sad!"
“The United Nations is not a friend of democracy. It’s not a
friend to freedom,” Trump said at the American Israel Public Affairs
Committee conference in Washington. “It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home, “And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel, and never has been!”
Committee conference in Washington. “It’s not a friend even to the United States of America, where as all know, it has its home, “And it surely isn’t a friend to Israel, and never has been!”
Trump added that any deal by the U.N. to force an agreement
between Israel and the Palestinian Authority should be blocked, as it “will
only further de-legitimatize Israel and it would reward Palestinian terrorism.”
Honestly, the U.N. de-legitimizes nearly everything it
touches — the entire organization is rooted in globalism and all you see come
out of the U.N. headquarters are letters — letters condemning North Korea or
Iran for breaking an international treaty, for example.
However, that’s the extent of the U.N.’s reprimands. You’ll
just see letters — “all talk, no action” as Trump might say.
In his AIPAC speech, Trump went over the atrocities Israel
faced from surrounding countries and the U.N.’s apathy toward the matter. In
fact, he aligned himself with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s
sentiments:
“The Palestinians want a state, but they have to give peace
in
return. What they’re trying to do in the United Nations is to get a state
without giving Israel peace or giving Israel peace and
security. And I think that’s, that’s wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail.”
security. And I think that’s, that’s wrong. That should not succeed. That should, that should fail.”
At what point is enough, enough? At what point are Obama
supporters going to realize that they’ve been used to advance an agenda that’s
nowhere near parallel to what’s made America great for generations of patriotic
Americans? At what point are the
progressive left going to understand that once you realize Obama is not on your
side, that everything he has done to undermine our Constitution and our exceptionalism
is not only understandable, but makes perfect sense!
MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PLAN’ IS SIMPLY AND ACT OF MORAL COWARDICE!!
For eight years, Barack Obama has given lip service to our
special relationship with Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East and our
longtime ally. During that time, the United States has opposed anti-Israel
efforts in the United Nations, standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel. But
with less than four weeks before he leaves office, Barack Obama finally worked
with Israel’s enemies to pass a United Nations resolution hostile to Israel.
This is an act of moral cowardice and immaturity the likes
of which Barack Obama thinks only Donald Trump is capable of.
Nothing has changed in our relationship with Israel in the
past several years. Obama has been increasingly hostile toward Israeli
interests, but he has maintained a façade of friendship. Nothing has changed.
The only thing that has changed is how much longer Barack Obama has in office
and the fact that voters will never again see him on a ballot.
On Wednesday, with less than three weeks to go before they
depart, John Kerry gave a speech offering a “comprehensive vision” on Middle
East peace. He is allegedly expected to recognize a Palestinian state —
something no American administration, including this one, has done.
Doing so three weeks before departing office does nothing
but create headaches for an incoming administration by an outgoing
administration too cowardly to do this before now.
It is not leadership to wait till you have one foot out the
door to be bold. It is reckless cowardice and a descent into stereotype of
Trumpism this administration believes. Turning nearly a half-century of
American foreign policy on its head in the literal final weeks of a presidency
is not competent leadership, but childish petulance.
Childish petulance, however, is Barack Obama’s
legacy. His childish petulance, though he may never admit it, gave rise to Donald Trump, who is Obama’s ultimate legacy. By Erick Erickson, a Friend of America!

Leaked Documents Show U.S/Palestinian Collusion Before UN
Resolution Vote
According to the document, Kerry and [National Security
Adviser Susan] Rice said America’s UN Ambassador Samantha Power was prepared to
meet with Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour to discuss the matter. Rice
and Kerry are said to have asked Erekat and the other members of the delegation
to keep the meeting top secret. Kerry and Rice said they wanted to avoid leaks
of the meeting to the media because of the sensitivity of the transition to the
Trump administration.
[…]
According to the leaked document, Rice told the Palestinian
delegation that the Trump administration was very dangerous for them because
his positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict differed from those of all
American administrations since 1967. Rice recommended that the Palestinians
take seriously what Trump’s advisers were saying about moving the U.S. Embassy
to Jerusalem and annexation of parts of the West Bank to Israel.
The document quotes Rice as asking Erekat what the
Palestinians would do if Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem and made it
possible for Israel to annex part of the West Bank. It quotes Erekat as
replying that the Palestinians would immediately join 16 UN agencies in which
they
were not yet members, retract the PLO’s recognition of Israel, freeze security cooperation and diplomatic and economic ties with Israel, make Israel responsible for the management of daily life in the PA, and call on all Arab countries to expel U.S. ambassadors.

Over at The Washington Examiner, Joel Gehrke reported that
the U.S. was discussing the resolution throughout the fall:
Secretary of State John Kerry advised Egyptian and
Palestinian diplomats on how to write a resolution condemning Israeli
settlement construction that would avoid an American veto, but he did not
"orchestrate" the international rebuke, according to a spokesman.
"Of course, there has been for some time in the fall,
talk about this resolution or that resolution with regard to Middle East peace and
the Israeli-Palestinian issue," State Department spokesman Mark Toner told
reporters. "Of course, in the course of those conversations, we're always
making clear what our parameters are, what our beliefs are, what we need to see
in order to even consider a resolution. That's part of the give and take of the
U.N."
Alan Dershowitz slammed Obama’s treatment of Israel with
this resolution, adding that he will go down as one of the nation’s worst
presidents regarding foreign policy.
Secretary of State John Kerry defended the U.S.’s

UNABLE TO BE STRAIGHT WITH HIMSELF – OR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!
President Obama underplays American concessions and
overplays Iranian commitments in the nuclear talks.
In the confrontation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and
President Barack Obama, we are seeing the consequences of the long game Obama
initiated right in his inauguration eight years ago: “To those who cling to power
through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent,” he declared, “know
that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if
you are willing to unclench your fist.” A regime might well be tyrannous and
murderous, as Iran had been since the return of Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979, but
the better angels of human nature might reassert themselves if embraced in a
web of cooperation. It was a big bet, given the history of Iran where the very
word ‘democracy’ was not used in Khomeini’s regime, with many hundreds executed
and thousands targeted for assassination in other countries. And the new
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had maintained that monstrous program for a time,
even doubling the rewards for assassinations. He interpreted Obama’s gesture as
a weakness. Six months later, he was brutal in his suppression of the Green
Revolution. He was confirmed in his evaluation when the Obama administration
failed to do more than whimper. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said
he now regrets their restraint; they were advised by the CIA and the State
Department that too powerful an American voice might enable the regime to label
the protesters as American puppets. Maybe so, but the inertia was also an
expression of the new strategy of conciliation. Gates says the suppression of
the Green Revolution ended “most support inside the administration.” What it
didn’t end was Obama’s infatuation with his illusion of making Iran safe for
democracy.
Khamenei’s appreciation of U.S. restraint was another bout
of fist-clenching, albeit in secrecy. `Only later did we discover that he had
built an underground bunker at Fordow for the enrichment of uranium, in
violation of the agreements under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty. For a moment, there, it seemed as if Obama would follow the angry French lead and react forcefully. Khamenei adroitly forestalled punishment by a sudden bout of reasonableness. He agreed that the Iranians would ship their stockpiles of low-grade fissile material to Russia in exchange for fuel rods for energy. This played brilliantly to the Obama strategy. He resisted the congressional hawks who hadn’t imbibed the Kool-Aid. Doubting Thomases, they thought Iran could not be trusted so by 99 votes to zero enacted the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions Accountability and Divestment Act. Once the focus on this initial crisis was diverted, Khamenei reneged on the deal. Only recently the Iranians insisted that the transfer the world thought was happening is not. Iran has held on to its uranium, a failure that ought to have reaped headlines, but hasn’t: For the media, the Netanyahu vs. Obama show is more fun.

Obama was not deflected from his strategy by Iran’s second
thought. Indeed, his attachment to it was one of the reasons he finally
retreated from the red line he had drawn in Syria. The CIA had drawn up a plan
to equip Syrian rebels in Jordan and provide assistance once they were back in
Syria. Obama stopped it – not because he’d gone soft on Bashar Assad. It was
because he was still soft on Iran, Assad’s main benefactor. Subsequently Obama
opened a secret bilateral channel to Mahmoud Ahmedinejad’s regime, according to
Mosaic’s Michael Doran. Major concessions were offered on sanctions and
permitting the Iranians to continue enriching uranium to levels of 5 percent.
Six U.N. Security Council resolutions had ordered Iran to cease all enrichment
and reprocessing. Iran demanded the right to enrich. In effect, Obama was
prepared to end the economic sanctions on Iran entirely and allow the Iranians
to enrich uranium in perpetuity, Doran wrote.
Obama is such a captive of his own illusions about Iran that
he has been unable to be straight with the American people. In reporting,
belatedly on the November 2013 interim agreement, he boasted it had “halted”
Iran’s nuclear program. In fact, major
American concessions were traded for Iranian gestures of temporary restraint, concessions that will likely never be reversed. Instead of halting the Iranian program, the agreement froze only American actions. Iranian nuclear engineers continued their work to improve the efficiency of their centrifuges and to master the use of more effective centrifuges.

No nuclear plant is being dismantled. Here, too, the
administration has misled the public by underplaying the American concessions
and overplaying the Iranian commitment. The Iranian foreign minister blew a
hole in the smooth talk by
defying an interviewer on television to find a single word in the agreement that even closely resembled dismantling or could be defined as dismantling in the entire text. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani went further. Iran had refused to destroy centrifuges, he said, and would never destroy them under any circumstances, contrary to the implicit suggestion by the administration that the final agreement would force the Iranians to dismantle some 15,000 centrifuges.

Obama thought he was offering a strategic accommodation with
the U.S., but Khamenei is betting that Obama will accommodate Iran even if it
pursues an industrial-scale nuclear program. Remarkably, Obama retreated even
further in agreeing Iran could have $700 million a month in revenues reportedly
allowing Iran to retain in one form or another its facilities in Natanz, Fordow
and Arak, sites that Iran built in flagrant violation of the non-proliferation
treaty, wrote Doran. Dennis Ross, Bill Clinton’s and Obama’s preeminent Middle
East peace envoy, is scathing in his condemnation of the president’s ongoing
concessions to the Iranians.
The people most affected by Obama’s zeal for a strategic
grand bargain with Iran see through all this. Netanyahu’s Hail Mary pass before
Congress was a devastating indictment boldly
delivered. Obama’s successive appeasements, he said, had added up to paving the way to an Iranian bomb (and the unregulated missiles they’re building, too).
delivered. Obama’s successive appeasements, he said, had added up to paving the way to an Iranian bomb (and the unregulated missiles they’re building, too).
And again, if Iran wants to be treated like a normal
country, let it behave like one. It trains and arms terrorists in Hamas and Hezbollah.
Khamenei’s idea of moderation is to channel Pol Pot. In a recent post, he says
he doesn’t mean Israel should be annihilated by a bomb but simply abolished as
a country inhabited by people there before 1948. Oh, and yes, give weapons to
Palestinians on the West Bank. Presumably not to be policemen, but to simply
eradicate Jews who don’t want to leave.
None of the Sunni powers in the region see American outreach
to Tehran as good news, particularly since Obama has given Iran a free hand in Syria and Iraq over the last
three years. Obama has allowed Iranian troops to dig on the border of Israel
and the border of Jordan. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia urged the U.S. to
destroy Iran’s program and thereby “cut off the head of the snake in the Middle
East.”
A proposed 10-year ban on Iran’s nuclear work won’t cut off
the head. It is too short a time for a transition to a civilized state – and do
we really want a nuclear-capable Iran, ever? Not in 10, 20, 100 years. We
should abandon the daydream that embracing and enriching Iran will turn it into
Switzerland. To date, the
efforts to sooth the rogue regime are emboldening it. Iran is thinking like an old-fashioned superpower, yet instead of forcing them to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat, we’re not even verifying or inspecting it.
efforts to sooth the rogue regime are emboldening it. Iran is thinking like an old-fashioned superpower, yet instead of forcing them to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat, we’re not even verifying or inspecting it.
The risks of letting Iran get to the one-year threshold of
being a nuclear power are too great, given how much religion and ideology
dominate their thinking. Ray Takeyh of the Council on Foreign Relations
describes a 10-year timeframe as a “catastrophic mistake”. Anyway, let’s not
get hung up on 10, 11, 12 – Obama talks of “double digits” at one moment and
“10” the next. But do we ever want a nuclear-capable Iran in a country as
anti-American as the pronouncements of the Iranian leaders suggest they are? As
David Brooks of The New York Times put it, “If the Iranian leaders believe what
they say, then United States policy should be exactly the opposite of the one
now being pursued. Instead of embracing and enriching Iran, sanctions should be
toughened to further isolate and weaken it. Instead of accepting a nuclear
capacity, eliminating that capacity should be restored as the centerpiece of
American policy.” Iran has taken full control of Syria. Revolutionary Guard
commanders have taken charge of the front from the Golan Heights all the way
down to Daraa in the south. More than 10,000 Shite volunteers have been flown
to Syria to repel the Sunnis. This process of Iran-ization is unfolding just 10
kilometers from Israel’s border. Washington, which seems to want a nuclear
agreement at nearly any price, has turned a blind eye and is exploiting
America’s lack of familiarity with the region. In effect, it has lent its
support in transferring control over Damascus to the Iranians. That puts Israel
in much greater danger of another broad Iranian front and will present a new
regional reality in the form of Iranian power. It is astounding that a country,
Iran, that engages in global terrorism that floods the Middle East with blood
and surrounds
Israel with terror on three fronts, Lebanon, Gaza and the
Golan, be given a tool to threaten the region and to have the capacity to
launch an existential threat to Israel. America’s key allies across the Middle
East are as upset as Israel over the administration’s
pursuit of a nuclear
bargain with Iran, for they see an America
that is about to abandon its long-standing friends to win the favor of their common foe, which is on a rampage across the region. No wonder in a Fox News poll 84 percent of Americans think allowing Iran to get nuclear weapons in 10 years is a bad idea.

This is a life and death issue for Israel. With just one
bomb Iran can do to the Jews in 12 minutes what Adolf Hitler did in 12 years.
Jews learned from the Holocaust to take fanatics at their word. Nobel prize
laureate Elie Wiesel’s invitation is compelling, “Will you join me in
hearing
the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and
America.”
The great Greek leader and historian Pericles once warned:
“What I fear more than the strategies of our enemies is our own mistakes.”
With memories of another rabid leader many years ago, whose name was Hitler, it is natural that Israel would consider a nuclear armed Iran as an existential threat. This is a nation, perhaps the only nation, that has been constantly threatened with extinction. Israel is not the enemy. Iran is, especially if it is a nuclear-armed Iran.
