Stolen from China Confidential: End the Iranian Threat Before it Ends the US

By now, most of you should have figured out I really like China Confidential. I always ask before I cross post or 'swipe' from another blogger. I have often thought why have we not done this to Iran yet? Please do not bother me with the usual answers from libtard land. Ever heard of EMP attack or Scud-in-a-bucket? These are not jokes or bad puns. They are very real threats to the United States and other countries.

"Appeasement of Iran has made war with Iran inevitable. The only remaining question: will the war be fought on American or Iranian terms? After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, it would be criminally insane to allow an enemy to prepare a surprise attack on the U.S., to allow Iran to prove the old superstition that things come in threes."

End the Iranian Threat Before it Ends the US

Musing openly about "a world without America and Zionism," Islamist (Islamonazi) Iran is developing nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles.

A great deal of evidence suggests that Iran, with North Korean assistance, has already developed an EMP attack capability. Google EMP attack and scud-in-a-bucket.

An EMP attack--detonation of a nuclear warhead at a sufficiently high altitude above the American Midwest--would wipe out virtually all electronic and communications systems and networks across America and put an end to every modern convenience and device on which we depend, including all modern cars, trucks, trains, and aircraft, and ... electricity. Imagine the biggest blackout in history--and it lasts for years. No lights. No phones. No Internet. No radio or TV. No harvesting equipment on the farms. No way to transport food, medicine, fuel, fertilizer, feed, and seeds. No ATMs or banks.

All passenger jets in the air at the time of the attack would crash. The rest would be grounded. The only vehicles that would run would be pre-electronic ones--until they run out of undeliverable gasoline or diesel oil.

In a flash, the United States would be plunged back into the 19th century--without the resources of the 19th century. Tens of millions of people would die from starvation and disease, lack of heat in the winter, etc. Hospital patients would start dying within one or two days of the attack, which could be anonymously launched--right now, as you read this--from one of thousands of cargo ships or barges in U.S. coastal waters on any given day. Many, if not most, of the freighters fly flags of convenience.

After the hospital patients, others would start dying--in a week or so. Chaos and anarchy would rule. Mob violence and mayhem would be commonplace. In the cities, there would basically be savagery, a mad, cannibalistic competition for survival. In the country, where people can still hunt and fish, find ways to mechanically pump or access clean water (some rural folks are fortunate to have gravity drainage wells), chop and haul wood to heat their homes, build outhouses ... and use their hunting and target rifles and shotguns to protect themselves and their neighbors ... there would be pockets of cooperation and hope.

But pockets do not make a country. After an EMP attack, the U.S. would for all practical purposes cease to exist.

Experts estimate that only 10% of the U.S. population--about 30 million people--would survive an EMP attack.

There is no known defense and no apparent deterrent against an anonymous EMP attack, no reason to safely assume that Iran's Islamonazi leaders won't try to do what Hitler could not do--destroy the United States.

What is to be done?

The answer is obvious: the U.S. should--must--bomb Iran, as soon as possible, massively and mercilessly. Any and all weapons necessary, including tactical nuclear weapons, should be used to swiftly and utterly destroy Iran's military and industrial infrastructure and armed forces--especially, the SS-like Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps--while minimizing potential loss of American and allied lives. Nothing less than total victory is morally acceptable, as a government's first duty is to protect the lives of its people.

Appeasement of Iran has made war with Iran inevitable. The only remaining question: will the war be fought on American or Iranian terms? After Pearl Harbor and 9/11, it would be criminally insane to allow an enemy to prepare a surprise attack on the U.S., to allow Iran to prove the old superstition that things come in threes.

There is no diplomatic solution to the problem of nuclear-arming, Islamonazi Iran. Sanctions won't work. It's too late for that, too late for containment.

The choice is mass death in Iran or mass death in the United States.

Illegal Aliens are leaving the country! Good riddance and do not come back!

Here is some good news in times of bleakness and hardship. The frito bandito and his friends are leaving our country as Bill Smith reports here from Blog for Borders. Isn't that some great news. Now if the mullah in the White House would leave and go back to Kenya or Indonesia, after all we still do not know if he is a legal resident. Birth certificate, birth certificate, man. Cough it up Obama.

Illegal Immigrants Are Leaving - Illegal Aliens Number Plunges by 1 Million

Bill Smith

For the second year in a row, both sides of the illegal immigration debate agree that the illegal alien population is falling rapidly in America. The pro-Amnesty U.S. Department of Homeland Security says it is true and so does the pro-immigration enforcement group we support, Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

This new report for 2009, combined with the data from 2008, suggests a drop of 2 million in the illegal alien population of America.

This proves a very important point! Enforcement instead of amnesty works, illegal immigration can be reversed, and there is no need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty. While the Amnesty supporters cry that the bad economy alone is responsible for the rapid declines, we know that is only part of the equation. Evidence we have archived from government, media, and activist reports across America, indicate that local or state level immigration enforcement leads to gradual exoduses of illegal aliens.
CBS Reports in "Number of Illegal Immigrants Plunges by 1M": The number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has dropped by nearly 1 million, renewing the debate over what to do with those still in the country, according to a Los Angeles Times report Thursday.

The Department of Homeland Security reported that illegal immigrant population dropped to 10.8 million in 2009 compared to 11.6 million in 2008. It was the second consecutive annual decline and the largest in at least three decades.

"This represents a sharp break from the past, when pretty much the illegal population has continually grown," Steven Camarota, of the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C., think-tank that favors immigration restrictions, told the paper. "It shows illegal immigration is not inexorable."

Read the complete report According to the report, the downturn in illegal immigration is due in part to the bad economy, in which job opportunities have dried up. Homeland Security department spokesman Matthew Chandler told the paper that the U.S. had also deployed "unprecedented resources" to crack down on illegal immigration.

The report renews a polarizing argument on how to address illegal immigrants' presence in the country.

Those in favor of tougher immigration control say the report offers proof that illegal immigration is linked to job opportunities. Take away the jobs and illegal immigrants will leave the U.S.

"Whether jobs dry up because the government is doing enforcement or because of the recession, illegal aliens react in a rational manner: They either will not come or they'll go home," Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told the paper. "It certainly shows that illegal immigration is a controllable phenomenon." . . .

Among illegal immigrant groups, the Chinese population dropped by the largest percentage - nearly 50 percent. Mexicans, the largest illegal immigrant population, dropped 380,000 to 6.65 million. Declines occurred in most parts of the country, though it increased in Georgia. Arizona, Florida, New Jersey and New York all saw double-digit drops.

Jobs Summit Class 201 at the Swamp. Not even any beer let alone ideas that create jobs.

Obama has held yet another summit, group hug, whatever
you want to call it on the employment problem. Of course
the blame on the last administration was tossed out. How
short is the Democsocialistacrtats memory on who
was really in power since 2006? Very short as they keep
blaming Bush for their problems. Mr. Alexander offers
some excellent suggestions for creating jobs in this
country. But as he mentions, no one in the current
administration will be listening to anyone from the
private sector.


Job Creation for Dummies

By Mark Alexander · Thursday, December 10, 2009




"Were we directed from Washington when to sow, and when to reap, we should soon want bread." --Thomas Jefferson

Barack Obama outlined his Recovery.gov version 2.0 on Tuesday of this week, saying, "My economic team has been considering a full range of additional ideas to help accelerate the pace of private sector hiring. We held a jobs forum at the White House..."



Indeed, Obama held a much-publicized "jobs" confab last week, ostensibly to obtain ideas about how to create (and save?) more of them. This exercise in futility was fodder so he could feign having sought advice from some people who actually create jobs.



However, most of the 135 invitees were from federal, state and local government, academic institutions, labor unions and not-for-profits. Alas, he did toss in a few folks from the private sector where job creation actually occurs. He told them, "I'm confident that people like you ... can come up with some additional good ideas on how to create jobs."



Additional good ideas?



I suspect Obama was suggesting that some of his proposals thus far have been good ideas. Unfortunately, despite all the jobs Obama claims to have saved or created with his $787 billion "stimulus" package, unemployment has increased from 7.6 percent when he took office, to 10 percent.



Setting aside the absurdity of his pet "saved or created" construction, it seems to me that if he had actually created jobs, unemployment would be somewhere under 7.6 percent. But Democrat math never ads up. Fact is, there has been a net loss of at least 3.4 million jobs under the "Obama recovery."



"We're not going to get anything useful out of [this summit]," concluded Peter Morici, from the University of Maryland's Smith School of Business. Obama and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner "really don't know what to do."



What an understatement.



Investor's Business Daily analyzed cabinet posts of administrations over the last century and determined that prior to Obama, Kennedy and Carter had the lowest number of appointees from the private sector, about 30 percent in each administration.



As only 8 percent of Obama's key appointees are from the private sector, precious few of them have actually created or understand how to create non-government jobs.



Needless to say, there was widespread skepticism about this jobs summit, so Obama sent out his senior White House adviser, Valerie Jarrett, to do some pre-emptive Bush-blaming.



"We inherited an economic meltdown 10 months ago," claimed Jarrett. "[Obama] moved boldly to get us back on track with a variety of measures."



Oh really? Fact is, then-Senator Obama and his Democrat colleagues went to great lengths to undermine the U.S. economy for political expedience.



As for critics of Obama's socialist economic philosophy, Jarrett issued this challenge: "I would say to those critics, we welcome your ideas. We embrace all good ideas and I think critics should stop saying what won't work and come forward with what will work."



Well, OK! As the owner of an Internet publishing company, and manager of several other business ventures, here are some good ideas that will work -- in fact, ideas that have proven to work.



First: Let's clear up a misconception: Government does not create jobs because it does not create wealth. Government is a consumer of wealth, not a producer.



As my colleague and noted economist Thomas Sowell writes: "What does it take to create a job? It takes wealth to pay someone who is hired, not to mention additional wealth to buy the material that person will use. But government creates no wealth. Ignoring that plain and simple fact enables politicians to claim to be able to do all sorts of miraculous things that they cannot do in fact. Without creating wealth, how can they create jobs? By taking wealth from others, whether through taxation, selling bonds or imposing mandates. However it is done, transferring wealth is not creating wealth. When government uses transferred wealth to hire people, it is essentially transferring jobs from the private sector, not adding to the net number of jobs in the economy."



As Heritage Foundation's Conn Carroll notes, "every dollar Congress 'injects' into the economy must first be taxed or borrowed out of the economy."



And, to add insult to injury, government is an extremely inefficient consumer of wealth, with up to 70 percent of income-transfer program (a.k.a., welfare program) budgets going to bureaucratic overhead.



Second: Taxes do not create jobs. Taxes eliminate jobs.



Higher income taxes to pay for more government spending and debt, higher business taxes associated with CO2 production, and higher individual taxes to pay for ObamaCare will push the nation from recession to depression.



Take all of these tax-and-spend proposals off the table.



Ronald Reagan inherited a deep recession from the Carter administration. President Reagan cut taxes, and the resulting 25-year economic growth cycle produced 35 million new jobs and increased government revenues by almost 30 percent -- the largest peacetime economic expansion in history.



Third: Regulations do not create jobs. Regulations eliminate jobs by choking productivity and stemming wealth production, thus disabling job creation.



There is no corner of the U.S. economy that isn't currently regulated by the central government, and consequently, the cost to business and consumers is staggering.



This week, as Obama administration officials were in Copenhagen selling out the U.S. economy to the cap-n-tax crowd, his EPA director, Lisa Jackson, declared back home that carbon dioxide -- the stuff we humans exhale when we breathe -- poses a danger to the environment. This means that new regulations on business and industry are on the way, the costs of which will ultimately be borne by consumers.



The CO2 regulations, as I have argued previously, have everything to do with centralizing economic control and nothing to do with climate change, and Obama should be more concerned about the U.S. economic climate than bogus global climate change predictions.



To supplement economic recovery by deregulation, a thoughtful president might also push for tort reform. While all those dollars spent defending frivolous lawsuits might create more trial lawyers, they cost real Americans real jobs.



Fourth: Government spending does not create jobs. Government spending eliminates jobs.



According to Obama, "There are those who claim we have to choose between paying down our deficits on the one hand, and investing in job creation and economic growth on the other -- but this is a false choice." He then went on to say, that we must "spend our way out of this recession."



Horse pucky.



Unprecedented deficit spending for unsustainable entitlements, and accumulation of national debt, now at more than $12 trillion, poses an enormous threat to our economic future. Obama's proposals will add $13 trillion in deficit spending over the next 10 years.



There are only three ways to cut that debt: Raise taxes, inflate the dollar or cut government spending.



The first two will destroy any semblance of economic recovery. Only the latter will strengthen the U.S. economy and create jobs.



The president should hold the line on discretionary spending and enact spending caps enforced by a balanced budget amendment, as first proposed by Reagan and blocked by Democrats every time it comes up.



Fifth: Protectionism does not create jobs. Protectionism hinders job growth.



Start by approving stalled trade agreements with Colombia, South Korea, and Panama. After all, 95 percent of consumers on our planet live outside the U.S. We need unfettered access to those markets. Even the Obama administration acknowledges that every percentage point increase in exports creates more than 250,000 jobs in the U.S.



In summary, what Obama can do to help me, and all private-sector employers, create new jobs is this: Get out of our way.



Of course, Obama and his ilk will consider none of my proposals because they think government is the solution, not the problem.



Meanwhile, Joe Biden, Obama's point man for jobs, has been making the rounds and spinning yarns about what his grandfather had to say about recessions and depressions.



"My grandpop used to have an expression. We're from Scranton. He said, 'Joey, when the guy in Dixon City' -- a small town above Scranton -- 'is out of work, it's an economic slowdown. When your brother-in-law is out of work, it's a recession. When you're out of work, it's a depression.'"



Biden's grandfather must've been Harry Truman. "When your neighbor is out of work, it is a recession. When you are out of work, it is a depression," said Truman back in 1958. In 1980, Reagan shrewdly amended that chestnut: "A recession is when your neighbor loses his job. A depression is when you lose yours. A recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his."



So, maybe Obama was smart for not inviting me to his jobs summit, because I would have been screaming from the rooftop that a recovery is when Barak Obama loses his job. For that, in all likelihood, is the only proposal that will result in true job creation.



Footnote: On Obama's recovery.gov website, there is a link to "report fraud, waste and abuse." When understood in the proper context of our Constitution, all of Obama's proposals constitute fraud, waste and abuse, so I recommend you report it!
