EXTRA EXTRA: Get your sexual impropriety here, Today only



SHE WANTED IT


Herman Cain

Why have both of the most prominent black conservatives of the past 20 years been targeted by sexual allegation? Why don’t white conservatives get similarly accused? Why does the Left seem to find such charges against black conservatives so credible? Why do charges of sexual impropriety against conservative black men”stick” so readily in the minds of the Left?

I think that the Left has fallen into a psychological rut worn deep in our collective cultural conscience by a century of scientific racism. I think they are all primed to see black men as sexually impulsive. That is why they instantly think such charges as credible.




Classical racism (pre-WWII) held that non-white races were less evolved away from animals than whites and therefore had more animalistic natures. Under the non-Darwinian concept of evolution ascendant at the time,  the “scientific consensus” held that natural forces were pushing all living things along a predetermined development towards some “higher” or “perfected” state. In humans, that meant our brains grew larger, increasing intellect and emotional control but at the same time weakening the body.

Non-whites were believed to be less evolved and therefore mentally and emotionally inferior but with the relative strength and stamina of animals. In a time when most men still performed manual labor for a living, the era’s progressives argued that the “lesser” races had an unfair advantage in the free-market when it came to competing for manual labor jobs so the government had to step in. Most Jim Crow laws, unions and immigration restrictions on Asian were supported by the era’s progressives with the argument that “greedy” business owners would hire non-whites because they could do the job better without paying attention to the “socially responsible” need to maintain white supremacy.

One side effect of seeing non-whites, particularly black people, as more animalistic, was that they were also seen as being more sexually virile.  However, they were also viewed as being more animal like in having far less sexual self-control and more likely to give into impulses. In a time when people had direct exposure to the highly aggressive and dangerous sexual behavior of bulls, stallions and boars, it was easy to see the supposedly more animalistic black males as posing a similar danger, more over, the fact that a white man needs a white woman to conceive a white baby was more of a threat to Black society than the fact that blacks can take any person on earth and conceive a black child that's where the idea that black men looking at white women posed a danger comes from. It got a lot of innocent men and boys killed.


Many Black-American thinkers today maintain that the fading echoes of this old concept still resonates within our cultural subconscious and that we are all, regardless of race, primed to see Black-American males as overly sensual and sexually impulsive. While being stereotyped as virile is boon to the teenager and college aged, being seen as impulsive in any way is detrimental to rising to positions of trust and authority. Many black men still feel they are viewed as impulsive and thoughtless.

Given this history, shouldn’t we be asking just what is driving accusation of sexual harassment against first Clarence Thomas and now Herman Cain? Why these particular allegations against the only two Black-American male conservatives to seek high Federal office?




Anita Hill Dripping with sex appeal


The acts that Anita Hills alleged, even if taken at face value, were trivial acts. Did Thomas’ race and sex amplify the significance of those acts in Hill’s mind?  Moreover, were they amplified in the minds of the Leftists who sought to bring Thomas down? Did Cain’s secret accusers likewise assume that a black man, even an older, educated black man, must be sexually impulsive and magnify innocuous comments into something sexual and aggressive?
Clarence Thomas

Does our collective legacy of racism drive us all to we assume that the faintest hint of sexual suggestion on the part of a black man must represent the tip of an iceberg of animalistic sexuality? Do women, even black women, feel more threatened by the comments of black men than those made by other men?

Most worrisome, do these charges gain instant traction on the Left because of cynical political calculation or because of the Lefts’ latent racism? When faced by an Black-American male who refuses to defer to them, do they revert to cultural subconscious racism and assume that the offending black man must be sexually dangerous?

I think it quite possible.

One of the defining aspects of Leftism is a complete lack of individual moral introspection. Leftists have an unshakable faith in their own moral rectitude. They are the elect and the rest of us are the damned. Leftists never stop to wonder if subtle, inherited racism influences their thoughts and actions. Believing themselves immune to such failings, they never defend against them and always fall prey.

Racism is a moral failing Leftist definitely believe themselves immune to. They won’t admit that in their hearts, they see African-Americans as lesser people, ever trapped in an infantile state and always requiring the benevolent protection of the noble white Leftists.

They won’t  admit that Cain and other black conservatives provoke such a strong emotional reaction precisely because they refuse to act like dependent, subservient infants. They won’t admit to themselves that they are so quick to believe accusation of sexual misconduct against black conservatives because when blacks challenge Leftists the Leftists have no psychological barriers to reverting back to culturally inherited stereotypes about the supposed dangerous sexuality of black men.

The Left thinks they’ve advanced so far but they haven’t. When tested they fail. All it takes is the least suggestion and they revert to the ugly past.

Nuclear Proliferation Gaining Strength






Russia has joined the U.S. and Britain in backing Israel's view that the Middle East cannot be turned into a zone free of nuclear arms without progress on peace in the region.
That dovetails with Israel's view that peace must prevail in the Middle East before it can be made into a nuclear free zone. But it clashes with the Arab position that the two issues are separate. The Arabs say Israel's undeclared nuclear arsenal is the biggest threat to Mideast peace.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denied and insisted that it’s not up to Tehran to disprove the allegations, "The West must prove its claims that Iran seeks to build nuclear weapons" Ahmadinejad said today. His remarks follow the latest report by the U.N. nuclear watchdog that cited evidence indicating that Iran is conducting secret experiments toward development of nuclear weapons.





“The (U.S) tells us that we must prove that we don’t have an atomic weapons program. How can something that doesn’t exist be proved? It’s nonexistent. How can we prove it?” he told thousands of people in Pakdasht, 25 miles southeast of the capital Tehran.
“The one who levels the accusations must prove their claims. You must prove that someone is guilty,” he said.
Ahmadinejad said that if Iran decides to build nuclear weapons, it will do so openly.

The Russian statement was made available to various press agencies after a closed door meeting.The first meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) dealing with a nuclear-free Middle East assembled on Monday, with Israeli representatives describing the Arab nations' criticism of Israeli nuclear policy as unexpectedly sedate.


As a result of Iran's boycotting of the meeting, the most critical of the Arab IAEA members was Syria, whose representative depicted Israel's alleged undeclared nuclear arsenal as a "grave and serious threat."
But officials reporting on the closed meeting said that except for Syria and Lebanon, its lockstep ally, other Arab nations speaking at the meeting were lower-key than usual in chastising Israel refusing to open its nuclear program to UN perusal.
One Israeli official, who agreed to speak under conditions of anonymity said the atmosphere was "much less confrontational, much less hostile" than at other IAEA gatherings focused on the Middle East, which traditionally see Muslim nations speaking with one strongly critical voice about Israel's nuclear capabilities.
Ahmadinejad said the United States, which itself has stored 5,000 nuclear weapons, charges that Iran is guilty without providing evidence, yet it wants Iran to prove its innocence.


The president also warned that Iran would treat any country that freezes its assets as a “thief.” "The slightest appropriation of the Iranian nation’s currency reserves will be tantamount to theft. The Iranian nation will deal with the perpetrator as a thief,” Ahmadinejad warned.


He was reacting to reports that the U.S. and its allies might freeze assets belonging to Iran’s central bank following a new set of sanctions imposed on Tehran by U.S., Canada and Britain. The new sanctions seek to apply greater pressure to get Tehran to halt its suspected nuclear weapons program.
The measures were built on previous sanctions to target Iran’s oil and petrochemical industries and companies involved in nuclear procurement or enrichment activity.
How Iran Deals With Sanctions


Israel's traditional position is that a serious discussion of a nuclear-free Mideast would only take place after certain ground rules were established, such as recognition of Israel by the Arab states, as well as peace agreements that would include security arrangements and an agreement on regional disarmament from nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons.
The session is not expected to reach any decisions, but serves as a precedent by having taken place.
In toning down their comments, most Mideast participants at the 97-nation meeting appeared to be heeding an appeal by IAEA chief Yukiya Amano.
In opening remarks made available to reporters, Amano urged Mideast nations to focus on "fresh thinking," adding he hoped they would be able to move "beyond simply restating long-established positions."


Officials and participants warned against high expectations at the gathering, which is hearing presentations on already established nuclear-free zones elsewhere as a way of stimulating discussion on the Middle East and is not meant to reach any decisions.
A decision last year by the 189 members of the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty to convene a UN-sponsored conference on establishing a Middle East nuclear-free zone in 2012 was an incentive for most of the region's Muslim nations to meet this year with Israel for the exploratory Vienna talks.

Let's Play The Blame Game,,,Once Again







As a handful of the lawmakers on the sputtering joint Congressional committee charged with drafting a deficit reduction package met for what seemed like one final time, the White House said yesterday that only Congress could have produced a solution, while Republican presidential candidates moved to frame the committee’s failure to meet its deadline as a lack of leadership by President Obama.
Troops Stand down Because Of Funding

Already some Republicans were saying Monday that they would try to spare the massive and automatic cuts to military spending that has been triggered since Congress couldn't agree on a deficit reduction plan.
Optimism was never that high on the panel would ever succeed, but stock markets were still dropping at midday, with stocks off sharply as bond yields fell.
At the White House, where the president signed legislation intended to spur the hiring of veterans, Mr. Obama urged lawmakers to get back to work on economic issues in a spirit of bipartisanship, but made no direct reference to the collapse of the deficit talks over the weekend and yesterday— even though some of the legislators involved were attending the signing ceremony.
Jay Carney


The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, pointedly noted that the responsibility for getting a deal belonged to Congress, not the White House. First Blamer
“They should do the right thing and come together,” Mr. Carney said. “From the beginning of this process, what the Congress needs to do to get this done has been obvious to everyone.”
At a campaign stop in New Hampshire, one of Mr. Obama’s chief Republican rivals, Mitt Romney, said Monday that what was most disappointing about the panel’s failure was “that our president has had no involvement with the process.”
Mitt Romney


“I find it extraordinary that there would be a committee with such an important mission as finding a way to provide fiscal sanity in America, and with the penalty, if that fiscal sanity is not found, of a $600 billion cut to our military,” Mr. Romney said.
He added that the White House should promote legislation that would hold the military out of a set of automatic cuts, known as sequestration and divided between security and domestic programs, that are set to trigger in 2013 unless some other resolution is devised.





In a speech Monday, Newt Gingrich, another Republican candidate for president, called the failure of the committee “good for America.”
While Congress is on break for the Thanksgiving holidays, many members, especially Republicans, will turn their attention to the looming Pentagon cuts. As part of the legislation written to raise the debt ceiling earlier this year, a failure of Congress to reach a deal by the end of the year would result in $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts in domestic and military programs over 10 years, starting in January, 2013 — after elections that could reshape the Congress and perhaps replace the president.
Jeff Sessions


“We need to more appropriately allocate spending reductions,” Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, said in an interview. “Congress could alter the sequestration. I am hoping for that.”
John Kerry
On Monday, several members from both parties met in the office of Senator John Kerry, a Democrat from Massachusetts and a committee member, at his behest, along with Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona, a Republican member.


 As he left the meeting, Senator Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana and chairman of the Finance Committee, said: “We are working as hard as we can. We are continuing to meet.”
Mr. Baucus said panel members were discussing a “new idea” floated by Senator John Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts. Mr. Baucus declined to give details. Aides to committee members said the discussions had not narrowed the vast differences between the two parties over taxes and entitlements.
Jon Kyl


Senator Baucus said, “Both sides are feeling angst, more angst, at the possibility of no agreement, so they should work harder and more creatively.”
The Republicans were Representative Fred Upton of Michigan and Senators Jon Kyl of Arizona and Rob Portman of Ohio. The Democrats, besides Mr. Baucus and Mr. Kerry, were Representative Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Senator Patty Murray of Washington, a co-chairwoman of the panel.
While the meeting began as a bipartisan affair, the Republicans left the Democrats to ponder their fate alone.
Fred Upton


With the apparent collapse of the deficit reduction committee, Republicans in Congress were looking for other ways to rein in federal spending. Some House Republicans have discussed the possibility of seeking a vote on deficit reduction proposals advanced in the last month by Republican members of the committee. While such proposals would have no future in the Senate, they would give House Republicans an opportunity to show their commitment to fiscal restraint.
In the next month, lawmakers face deadlines to deal with several pressing issues: extension of a payroll tax holiday, extension of jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed, a 27 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors and relief from the alternative minimum tax.
Items on this list carry big price tags. When Congress addressed them last year, the Congressional Budget Office said the temporary reduction in the payroll taxes would cost more than $110 billion, while the temporary extension of jobless benefits cost $55 billion and the remedy for the alternative minimum tax cost more than $130 billion. Shielding doctors from pending cuts in their Medicare fees would cost at least $20 billion to $30 billion.
Republicans in both houses said they would insist that Congress find ways to offset most of these costs. Otherwise, they said, the upshot of a year focused on deficit reduction could be an increase in the deficit.
 Jeb Hensarling

Senator Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, the deficit committee’s chairwoman, and Representative Jeb Hensarling, Republican of Texas, its chairman, were expected to announce later Monday in a news release their failure to reach an agreement after 10 weeks of negotiations.
Although stocks on Wall Street traded sharply lower this afternoon, some analysts said that it was Europe’s debt crisis, not America’s fiscal impasse, that was depressing sentiment.
Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds, in fact, were down to about 1.95 percent, while prices were up, a sign that investors continue to see assets like Treasuries as safe havens.




In Europe, on the other hand, interest rates on government bonds in the countries seen as most troubled, Italy and Spain, rose to near record levels, and Moody’s Investors Service warned that France’s top credit rating was vulnerable.
Rob Andrews

Representative Rob Andrews, Democrat of New Jersey, reminded an interviewer on CNBC that some spending cuts were already in hand from the summer’s negotiations, others might take place automatically.
“Remember that there’s a trillion or two of spending cuts now locked in when the committee fails,” he said. “Now, there’ll be an effort to repeal that lock-in, but I think the repeal will fail. And therefore, we’ll get another trillion-two in spending cuts, which is not a bad thing.”
Mr. Van Hollen


  Trying to sound hopeful, Mr. Van Hollen, a Democratic member of the panel, emerged from the Kerry-Kyl meeting on Monday and said, “We’re just having last-minute discussions.”
The White House watched as the congressional super-committee failed on debt and deficits as was exspected.

 Presidential spokesman Jay Carney said there is still time to achieve a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction.

 He lamented the finger pointing and the "blame game" in Congress and said lawmakers should make bold moves to solve big problems.

 Carney said the American people are demanding that Congress be accountable.
 Meantime, Carney rejected criticism that President Obama has been "disengaged" from the debate over deficit cuts.

The super-committee confirmed the failure to strike a bipartisan deal on more than one-trillion dollars in spending cuts over ten years.

That failure will trigger sweeping, across-the-board budget cuts, beginning in 2013.
Half the cuts would be in national security, including defense.
Leon Panetta


Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has warned of devastating consequences. Republicans and Democrats on the super-committee have been stuck in familiar territory, unable to find agreement on tax hikes or cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

After the meeting, the Republicans retired to Portman's office. Aides from House Speaker John Boehner's office and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's office joined the supercommittee members about 30 minutes later.

If the supercommittee fails to reach agreement by tomorrow, $1.2 trillion in draconian cuts will go into effect in 2013 across all government departments, including defense. Some lawmakers have called for a reconfiguration of the cuts to spare the Defense Department.
It's your fault;  No, It's your fault

Republicans and Democrats must stop blaming each other for the congressional supercommittee's impasse, the White House said. "This committee was established by an act of Congress. It was comprised of members of Congress. Instead of pointing fingers and playing the blame game, Congress should act, fulfill its responsibility," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday during a media briefing.
John Boehner 

Earlier, Boehner, R-Ohio, blamed Obama for the panel's failure to come to agreement. The Speaker's office distributed a memo Monday that says the supercommittee "was unable to reach agreement because President Obama and Washington Democrats insisted on dramatic tax hikes on American job creators, which would make our economy worse."

Carney laid blame on the Republicans deciding they are "unwilling to do what the American people say they believe should be done, which is ask the very wealthiest Americans, millionaires and billionaires, to pay a little bit extra so that we can achieve the kind of deficit reduction and long-term debt control that we need."
Newt Gingrich

On the stump in New Hampshire, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the failure of the committee would be good for America. Gingrich, among those seeking the GOP presidential nomination, said Monday he thinks the country's debt problem can be solved through the regular work of Congress.

"I think it's important to understand it's not that Washington is inherently gridlocked, it's that the current players behaving in the current way are inherently gridlocked," Gingrich said. "It's partly the president's fault. It's partly the Congress' fault. But it's a mess."

During his speech at Rivier College in Nashua, Gingrich did not mention the government shutdown that occurred while he was speaker in the mid-1990s came after he and President Clinton failed to resolve a budget impasse.

The Terrorist Next Door

IN AMERICA






Jose Pimentel




Jose Pimentel, suspected of plotting to bomb various targets in New York City has been denied bond, Naturally. He  bought bomb-making materials and had began to build them, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a press conference this yesterday.

video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player



Police constructed a duplicate of the bomb and showed this video of the detonation at the press conference. His targets list included US troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, police cars, post offices and a police station, Mayor Bloomberg said.
"The Late" Anwar al-Awlaki




A devotee of American Al Qaeda propagandist Anwar Awlaki , built a pipe bomb described in Al Qaeda's Inspire magazine, posted entries at least twice on Islam Policy, the radical Web site previously known as Revolution Muslim.

Pimentel was a prolific blogger and highly connected social media user. He ran his own Web site, TrueIslam1. Revolution Muslim, a pro-Al Qaeda website founded by American radicals, was suspended briefly after one of its writers threatened the creators of South Park for depicting the Prophet Mohammed. 
Younus Abdullah Mohammed

But the site soon returned, voluntarily changing its name to Islam Policy. The current leader of Islam Policy, Younus Abdullah Mohammed, was recently arrested and is now facing charges in relation to those threats. Another American, Zachary Chesser, was arrested in July 2010 and subsequently convicted for the same threats.

Pimentel posted on Revolution Muslim as "M. Yusuf" at least twice, one on "Rape in the U.S. Army," and once on the Arab Spring. Both posts were made in April 2011 and linked back to TrueIslam1.

"I say to the brothers and sisters in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and the rest of the Muslim world that establishing the Islamic laws is an obligation upon us that cannot be overlooked, the Day of Judgment is near, and Allah is quick in accountability and severe in punishment," Pimentel wrote. 
Zachary Chesser

Another post, also apparently by Pimentel, was titled "How Can I Train Myself For Jihad" and was later deleted from Islam Policy, but reposted to the Al Jahad extremist Web forum. The post was dated July 2011, but the content was dated 2008, suggesting Pimentel may not have written but simply reposted it.

The article encouraged firearms training and the use of U.S. military training materials available online to prepare for violent jihad.

"The majority of the time spent in Jihad is learning to cope with harsh, physically and mentally demanding living conditions. It is not about fighting glamorous battles for your pictures to appear on the Internet. Jihad is tough and difficult, which is why the rewards for it are so great," the post read.

In a section on firearms training, the post read: "Useful courses to learn are sniping, general shooting and other rifle courses. Handgun courses are useful but only after you have mastered rifles."
